In this reflective episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, we welcome Dean Graves, an experienced spiritual teacher, author, and mindfulness instructor. His work bridges consciousness, psychology, and personal transformation. Learn more about his books, teachings, and workshops at ddeangraves.org.@simpleenlightenment on InstagramDean's Facebook pageDean on YouTubeHe joins us to read an excerpt from his book, Edifying Children of a Lesser God, specifically the chapter titled “Stress and Suffering.”Dean explores the roots of human suffering and how our perception of self directly shapes our experiences. He explains that suffering is not an unavoidable part of life, but rather a distortion of perception — a learned belief that can be unlearned through conscious awareness and healing.He illustrates this concept with a powerful metaphor:If everyone were splashed by a sprinkler, all would be wet in the same way — because the water caused it.But when witnessing a car accident, no two people feel the same — because the experience doesn't create the emotion, our interpretation does.Dean reminds us that our reactions are reflections of our internal condition. As we evolve, we begin to interpret life from a higher, more peaceful state of consciousness — reducing suffering and expanding awareness.Takeaway PracticeDean encourages listeners to begin their journey of healing by:Recognizing the false lens through which suffering is perceived.Releasing the belief that pain is inevitable.Observing experiences as neutral, allowing emotions to be guided by awareness rather than reaction.5 Minutes of Peace is created by The Peace Room, Boise.Each episode offers reflections, meditations, and readings designed to help you reconnect with peace, love, and awareness — within yourself and the world around you.Learn more about Reiki treatments, crystal healings, and workshops at www.thepeaceroom.love

Joseph Goldstein discusses equanimity and how to remove the self from the knowing, effectively freeing ourselves from identification with awareness.This time on Insight Hour, Joseph Goldstein mindfully explores:Thoughts as passing phenomena that do not truly belong to anyoneSeeing all experiences as the simultaneous arising of both knowing and objectLetting go of our identification with knowing and awarenessShifting from active voice to passive voice as a mindfulness practiceThe near enemies of the mental qualities listed in the BrahmaviharasEquanimity and holding all things equally, seeing things for what they areThe difference between impartiality and indifference, openness versus carelessnessNavigating the complexity of our lives through the balance of compassion and equanimityMaintaining an interest in exploring rather than relying on our preconceptions about people and situationsThis episode was recorded at the Insight Meditation Society Forest Refuge and originally published on Dharmaseed“When you look for the mind there's nothing to find and the not finding is the finding. It's to see that there is nothing to find and when there is nothing to find, there is nothing to identify with.” –Joseph Goldstein See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hey friends — it's Amy.Today's episode is a powerful conversation about igniting something inside of you — your confidence, your expectation, and your willingness to grow.Because if we're honest, most people don't lack potential…They lack expectation.They lack confidence.And they've gotten a little too comfortable staying where they are.In this episode, I'm talking about why confidence isn't something you wait to feel — it's something you activate. Expectation works the same way. What you anticipate, you experience. And growth? Growth always asks you to step outside of what feels safe before it ever feels rewarding.We dive into the tug-of-war every human feels between certainty and growth. We want stability — but we also crave movement. And when we choose comfort for too long, life starts to feel tight… like a coat that no longer fits, yet we keep putting it on anyway.If you've felt restless, stretched, or aware that something needs to change — that's not failure. That's awareness. And awareness is the beginning of transformation.This episode will challenge you to: • Raise your internal standard • Stop repeating habits that no longer serve you • Expect more — and act like it • Commit to growth, even when it feels uncomfortable2026 doesn't need more hype.It needs intentional decisions.My hope is that today's episode helps you stop negotiating with fear and start moving forward with clarity, courage, and conviction.You're not behind.You're not stuck.You're just being invited to grow.Connect With Us:Website: https://www.youaremore.comFree Download: 5 Steps to Win Through AdversitySocial Media: Follow us on Facebook and InstagramEmail: amy@amywienands.comEpisode Minute By Minute:00:00 – Igniting confidence, expectation, and growth for a new year02:20 – Why most people want change but don't experience it05:15 – Confidence is activated, not discovered08:10 – Expectation: the invisible force shaping your life11:30 – Certainty vs. growth: why comfort can quietly cost you15:00 – When life starts to feel tight, not peaceful18:25 – Why discomfort often signals growth21:40 – Releasing habits that no longer fit who you're becoming25:10 – Raising your internal standard28:30 – Making a commitment to grow in 202631:00 – Final encouragement and mindset shiftBe intentional, stay focused, and remember you are more!

By the DOJ's own actions, what was promised as a meaningful step toward transparency has instead turned into a masterclass in bad faith. Despite a clear legal mandate requiring the release of Epstein-related records by December 19th, the Department of Justice has released roughly 1% of what it was obligated to disclose. Not 1% of what was convenient. Not 1% of what they felt like parting with. One percent of the total universe of documents they have publicly acknowledged possessing. This is not a paperwork hiccup or a minor delay—it is an institutional refusal to comply with the spirit or the letter of the law. For decades, the DOJ has insisted that Epstein was thoroughly investigated, that the evidence was reviewed, that the case was handled—yet when transparency is finally required, the files suddenly become too numerous, too complex, and too sensitive to release on time. The contradiction is glaring: either these materials were already organized and understood, or the DOJ has been misleading the public for years about the depth and seriousness of its investigation.For survivors, this isn't just bureaucratic nonsense—it's a direct insult. Many of them waited decades to be believed, to see the system acknowledge what was done to them and who enabled it. Releasing a token sliver of records while slow-walking the rest sends a clear message: institutional self-protection still outweighs accountability. To the American public, it's an unmistakable middle finger—proof that even when Congress acts, even when the law is explicit, the DOJ believes it can stall, obfuscate, and wear people down through attrition. Transparency delayed is transparency denied, and in this case, the delay isn't accidental. It reinforces the same power imbalance that allowed Epstein to operate in plain sight for so long, signaling that when powerful interests are implicated, justice remains optional and accountability remains negotiable.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Justice Department has released only 1% of Epstein files, new filing says

Have you ever wondered why you've been doing so much inner work, yet the external results haven't shown up the way you expected?I've been feeling the same tension, and what I've come to understand is that some seasons are designed to strip away what no longer fits before momentum can build. What felt heavy, slow, or frustrating wasn't wasted time. It was preparation for movement that actually lasts.✔️ Recognizing when discomfort is a sign of growth rather than failure✔️ Releasing old identities, habits, and expectations that no longer align✔️ Shifting from internal processing into grounded, intentional actionThis season isn't asking you to push harder. It's asking you to move forward differently, with clarity, commitment, and trust in what's already been built.

In this powerful two-part episode, Julie shares channeled angel messages and energetic insights for 2026. She explains why this year carries a massive expansion energy, not driven by burnout, hustle, or struggle, but through divine ease, presence, and alignment with God's highest vision for your life. Julie introduces new energetic tools the angels are guiding us to use, including the Energy Expansion Boom, the Cord Creation Technique, and what she calls Universal DoorDash a way of consciously co-creating with God and your angels through clarity, intention, and deep trust rather than force or manifestation.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel Season 7 Begins: Releasing the Inner Critic and Choosing Self-Compassion in 2026As Season 7 of the Recover Your Soul Podcast begins, I invite you into a deeper conversation about healing self-judgment and choosing a more compassionate relationship with yourself.The spiritual path to a happy and healthy life is not linear. For many of us, the journey into healing begins through codependency, people pleasing, over-functioning, and self-abandonment. We learn early on to take care of others, to stay small, and to silence our own needs in order to feel safe or loved. Over time, this creates an inner critic that speaks harshly in the name of protection.In this episode, I reflect on how the Recover Your Soul Process invites us to gently uncover these patterns, understand where they came from, and release what no longer serves us. As we step into 2026 and a new season, we are being called to move beyond awareness and into embodiment, living from our wholeness rather than our wounds.I also share my own experience of how self-compassion, honesty, and spiritual practice allow real healing to occur by choosing kindness and truth instead of self-judgment.In this episode, we explore:How codependency and people pleasing lead to self-abandonmentThe role of the inner critic as a learned protectorUsing the Recover Your Soul Process to release old patternsChoosing self-compassion as a spiritual practiceStepping into a new cycle of healing and Start your journey with the FREE Recover Your Soul™ 9-Step Mini-Workbook- A gentle spiritual path to healing, letting go, and awakening.

Melbourne multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Steph Strings already has many strings, literally and figuratively, to her creative bow. But in early 2026, a brand new chapter will arrive in the form of Steph's long-awaited debut album 'Feel Alive', set for release on Friday 9 January, 2026. Steph has also unveiled a new single and music video, with the smouldering country-pop track 'Devil Woman' which is now out!

Starting guitar lessons at the age of 9, Steph has never looked back. Releasing her debut EP Allegoric Oceans in 2017, Steph's ability to channel her influences and creative history into a sound entirely her own has only deepened with each new release, now in command of millions of streams and a global audience firmly mirroring her talent and determination. In a live setting, Steph's transformative sonic creations take on new life, capable of transporting you into another dimension purely with a guitar and her voice.

A new year always brings fresh energy, possibility, and—if we're honest—a little fear. Especially in real estate, where every January 1st our numbers reset to zero and we feel like we're starting all over again.   In this episode, Karen shares her 2026 Word of the Year … and why her original word choice just wasn't enough.   Listen in as she talks about: • How choosing a Word of the Year has guided her life and business for over a decade • Why open felt safe—but not fully transformative • What surrender really means (and what it doesn't) • Releasing the illusion of control, timelines, and other people's expectations • Letting go of old ways of working, people-pleasing, and carrying everything for everyone • Journaling prompts to help you choose your own word for the year ahead   If you've been feeling a nudge toward something deeper, different, or more aligned in this next season, this episode will give you language, courage, and a gentle push forward.   Listen now to episode 386 of Empowering Women in Real Estate® – The Podcast on your favorite podcast app or by clicking the link below.     Click subscribe to be notified every Wednesday when our latest episode is released, and be sure to check out our group on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweringwomeninrealestate We are 40,000 members strong and we want you to join us!

The missing 82-page federal charging document represents the single most consequential suppressed record in the Jeffrey Epstein case. Prepared by federal prosecutors in 2007, it reportedly laid out a sweeping case involving interstate sex trafficking, recruitment networks, and co-conspirator conduct that could have ended Epstein's abuse years earlier. Instead, the Department of Justice abandoned the federal prosecution without a transparent explanation and replaced it with a narrowly constructed state plea deal that insulated Epstein and foreclosed broader accountability. Survivors and their attorneys have long argued that this was not a matter of weak evidence or prosecutorial caution, but a deliberate decision to contain exposure and protect institutional interests rather than pursue justice.The DOJ's continued refusal to release the charging document has become a central symbol of institutional self-protection overriding accountability. Despite Epstein's death and repeated demands from victims invoking their rights under federal law, the department has declined to even formally acknowledge the document, signaling deep concern about what its contents would reveal. Critics argue that full disclosure is now essential to restoring credibility, as the suppression of the document not only obscured how close Epstein came to federal prosecution but also set a dangerous precedent that reputation management can supersede the rule of law. Without releasing the full record behind the Non-Prosecution Agreement—including the abandoned charging document—claims of transparency and reform remain hollow.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

As we wrap up the year, we're inviting you into a different kind of year-end ritual—one that's less about resolutions and more about reflection. In this episode, we're doing a midlife audit: looking honestly at what we're ready to shed and what we want to intentionally carry forward into 2026. From other people's opinions to outdated expectations, we're talking about the emotional baggage that quietly drains our energy—and how freeing it can be to finally let it go.We also dig into what we're keeping: connection, meaning, nervous system regulation, health, authenticity, and the freedom to live outside the status quo. This is a grounded, honest conversation about midlife as a season of shedding skins, reclaiming agency, and choosing a life that actually feels good to live. If you're craving clarity, permission, and a more intentional way to step into the new year, this one's for you. Episode Highlights:[0:46] – Kicking off a year-end audit instead of traditional resolutions [1:18] – The inspiration behind “not caring anymore” at midlife [3:03] – Letting go as a lifelong practice and why shedding gets easier with age [4:40] – Releasing other people's opinions about our bodies, habits, and choices [7:44] – Being done with explaining ourselves—bedtimes included [9:28] – Downsizing, simplifying, and redefining what “home” needs to be now [13:09] – Midlife as a season of shedding and making space for what's next [14:45] – Letting go of one-sided or draining friendships [16:43] – Prioritizing nervous system regulation and protecting our peace [17:42] – Giving up pretending we're fine when we're not [20:00] – Choosing depth, authenticity, and real conversations over small talk [22:06] – What we're keeping: health, strength, movement, and time outdoors [24:56] – Filtering life through meaning, purpose, and connection [25:51] – Saying yes to connection and whole-body yeses [28:00] – Comfort over performance: clothes, shoes, and realistic expectations [30:08] – Speaking our truth, changing our minds, and honoring ourselves [31:02] – Letting go of the status quo and choosing a life that fits [34:44] – Remembering that life is happening now, not later If today's discussion resonated with you or sparked curiosity, please rate, follow, and share "Insights from the Couch" with others.

Happy Yuletide Dear Listeners. I'm back with a final Solo episode of the year to offer some guidance and support in SHEDDING & RELEASING what you are ready to leave behind and begin to CREATE YOUR VISION for the future you desire to live in. I offered these insights in a workshop I held for Women Waken listeners (another is coming for vision boarding in the New Year if you're interested). I break it down into a 3 step process to establish the shedding (What/Why/ & How) and then some specific exercises you can do to facilitate the process of releasing old thought systems, energy, and tension from the body. Finally I introduce the art of vision boarding and how to begin that manifesting & inspiration process.I know this has been a tough year for many of us. My hope is that this episode offers some helpful insights and options on how to affirm that a higher experience is possible, especially for you! You deserve the greatest joy, love, peace, safety, and protection. Don't hold back, dream up the greatest expression of life you can imagine....it can be yours!!Donations To Women Waken To Support The Show Are Greatly Appreciated

Reset your nervous system. This 20-minute guided meditation is created for minds that won't switch off and bodies that have been carrying too much for too long. Burnout, chronic stress, and overthinking are not personal failures — they are signs of a nervous system that has been stuck in survival mode. When the brain is constantly problem-solving, anticipating, and self-monitoring, stress hormones remain elevated, the body stays tense, and the mind loops endlessly, searching for relief through more thinking. This meditation interrupts that cycle at the nervous system level. Through slow, grounding guidance, gentle breath awareness, and progressive body relaxation, you'll be guided out of mental overdrive and back into a state of safety and regulation. As the body softens, the mind naturally quietens — not because you force it to stop, but because it no longer needs to stay on high alert.   Benefits of this meditation include: Releasing stress and accumulated burnout tension Calming overthinking and mental rumination Resetting an overworked nervous system Supporting emotional balance and mental clarity Restoring energy without stimulation or effort This is not about trying to “fix” yourself or optimise your mindset. It's about allowing the system that's been carrying the load to finally rest. From that place of rest, clarity, creativity, and steadiness naturally return. Listen whenever you feel mentally overloaded, emotionally drained, or stuck in overthinking loops — and let your mind and body remember what calm actually feels like. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I help driven professionals overcome anxiety, stress, and self-doubt — then coach them beyond the ego to unlock superconscious performance and next-level success.

To close out 2025, Jill is replaying episode 258 from last year. Before diving into the replay, though, she spends some time reflecting on how she's come to reject the traditional idea of January 1st as a strict "new year" and instead embraces a more mindful approach. For Jill, the end of December is a time to pause, reflect, and honor your rhythms rather than chase resolutions or expectations. She shares that over the past five years, she's aligned more with the lunar calendar's timing and has found value in winter as a season for rest, inward reflection, and acceptance. Looking ahead to 2026, Jill highlights refinement over resolutions, describing it as a year of powerful energy and momentum. She recounts the personal and professional shedding, shifts, and deep trust that 2025 gave her, including stepping back from work, grieving her father, and embracing meaningful relationships with her soul tribe. Jill also touches upon the importance of honoring boundaries, self-care, and reflection during the holidays and beyond, stressing that pausing, releasing, and celebrating lessons learned are so important to entering the new year with gratitude, clarity, and purpose. Jill then replays last year's episode, in which she invites listeners into a reflective space to close out 2024. She, as she does this year, highlights the importance of self-care, setting boundaries, and honoring the lessons learned over the year. The replay episode offers a calming ritual to help listeners pause, breathe, and consider their personal experiences from the past year, with Jill guiding listeners in creating a clean slate for the following year by exploring practical ways to process the year such as reviewing old photos to sorting experiences into lessons, things to let go of, and cherished memories to hold onto. Listen in for a blend of guidance and gentle encouragement to close the year with heart and intention, and don't forget that time is running out to snag your Be YOU apparel! Also keep in mind that Jill will be hosting an upcoming retreat - the More of Me retreat - offering a deep dive into self-discovery. Head to jillherman.com for more details!

Episode 197 - Testimony Series: Boundaries and Divine Intervention - with Donna Gafford This episode is part of our December Testimony Series. Donna Gafford shares a gripping story from her experience on the set of a film in Atlanta. Hired to play an herbalist, she was surprised and troubled to find the set filled with witchcraft and Wiccan props, which conflicted with her personal commitment to God regarding the projects she was willing to accept. As she struggled with the situation and asked God to help her know how to move forward, a structural collapse unexpectedly destroyed the set and the witchcraft paraphernalia. Donna saw this as divine intervention affirming her commitment, and the replacement set was transformed into a beautiful, serene environment, illustrating God's protective power.The Faith & Family Filmmakers podcast helps filmmakers who share a Christian worldview stay in touch, informed, and inspired.

What if the most powerful way to step into a new year isn't by setting goals—but by honoring how far you've already come? In this end-of-year reflection, Jessica and Kelly look back on 2025 with honesty, humor, and heart. They celebrate growth, name what felt hard, and introduce the Bright List—a simple but meaningful exercise to help you reflect on what you're proud of, what you're ready to release, and what you want more of as you step into 2026. Inside This Conversation: Reflecting on the past year helps in personal growth. The Bright List exercise encourages positive reflection. Releasing negativity can lead to a more fulfilling life. Expanding joy and presence is essential for well-being. Surprises in life can lead to unexpected growth. Healing often comes from acknowledging struggles. Life is messy, and that's part of the journey. Intentions for the new year should focus on self-improvement. Embracing change is crucial as children grow and leave home. Living life to the fullest is a key takeaway for 2026.

Episode 176: What Story Are You Willing to Rewrite as You Enter 2026? Releasing old identities, reclaiming self-trust, and stepping forward with clarity, focus, and directionAs we approach 2026, many of us are carrying stories about ourselves that quietly shape our choices, our energy, and our sense of direction—stories that may no longer be true.In this reflective solo episode of Rising Inner Shift, Tanya invites you to pause and ask a powerful question:What story about yourself are you willing to rewrite as you enter 2026?Drawing inspiration from deep self-inquiry, nervous-system awareness, and the insights shared in Key lessons to enter 2026 with clarity, focus, and direction, this episode explores:How outdated identities keep us stuck in familiar patternsWhy clarity comes from alignment—not hustleThe role of the nervous system in decision-makingHow to rebuild self-trust and reclaim personal powerWhat it truly means to let go in order to move forwardThis episode is not about fixing yourself.It's about releasing what no longer belongs—and choosing your next chapter with intention.✨ Reflection Prompt:As I enter 2026, I am no longer the person who _____.I am becoming the person who _____.If you're feeling called to experience this work in a more embodied, immersive way, Tanya hosts Inner Shift retreats designed to help women slow down, reset their nervous system, reconnect with truth, and step into aligned action.

Outrage is already brewing over the Department of Justice's failure to fully release the Jeffrey Epstein files by the legally required deadline Friday, despite legislation pushed by Rep. Thomas Massie, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, and signed by Donald Trump. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch and Pam Bondi are acccused of hiding names of powerful men allegedly tied to Epstein, while establishment figures like Chuck Schumer publicly claim they want transparency.  As Jimmy points out, Massie says attorneys for victims know of at least 20 men accused of sex crimes whose names should appear, warning that if they don't, the DOJ clearly withheld evidence. He frames this as bipartisan theater and a deep-state style cover-up protecting elites, corporations, intelligence networks, and political power centers rather than victims. Plus segments on Australia's crackdown on free speech after the Bondi Beach attack, Tucker Carlson's expert clapback at Ben Shapiro and Erika Kirk's latest lie.  Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Kash Patel!
