Robin J. Emdon — aka The Procrastination Slayer — is the creator of GetResultsology® – The Science of Getting Stuff Done! and host of the GoalBusters podcast (100+ episodes). His journey from chronic procrastinator to accountability coach began with a face-palm moment in 2019: despite being a trained life coach, it had taken him ten years to finish a six-year home-study degree — stalled by years of procrastination. That embarrassing realization sparked a three-year deep dive into academic studies and science-backed books on the topic. Based in South Devon, England, Robin now helps solopreneurs, creatives, and independent professionals achieve up to 33% more of their goals through brain-based strategies, accountability, and his momentum formula: Do it today.

Sometimes the smallest things create the biggest shift. Lately, I've been reminded how something as simple as breathing, something we do automatically, can completely change how we feel. It's easy to forget that breath is both instinct and invitation. When I guide a yoga class or begin a shamanic reiki session, I always start with three unifying breaths. Each one feels like a soft landing, a way to come home to myself before I do anything else. It's a quiet reminder that calm isn't something we chase; it's something we breathe into being. Let's take a moment to breathe together now: The first breath will be a nourishing breath. Inhale deeply, exhale, let it out. The second breath will be a cleansing breath. Inhale deeply, exhale, let it out. And the last breath will be a rejuvenating breath. Inhale deeply, exhale, let it out. Then, just settle back into the natural rhythm of your own breath. On this Wise Walk, we'll look at how intentional breathing can nourish and even rewire your nervous system. We'll pause long enough to notice when we hold our breath, especially in those moments when life feels a bit too fast or too heavy. And we'll experiment with simple ways to release that tension, like box breathing or the 4-7-8 rhythm, so the body can find its own natural balance again. So as you walk, breathe, and listen, see if you can feel how each inhale steadies you and each exhale clears space for a calmer, more connected you. Do you notice the natural rhythm of your breath, or do you sometimes catch yourself holding it without realizing? When stress or anticipation builds, can you sense the moment your breath becomes shallow or tight? How does it feel when you pause and guide your breath back to a slower, steadier rhythm? Can you sense the shifts in your body as your breath begins to calm your nervous system? What practices help you stay connected to your breath when life feels fast or heavy? When you feel tension rise, how can you use your breath to bring yourself back to balance? How can you create time and space in your day to practice deep, intentional breathing that nourishes and restores you? As you move through the rest of your day, notice the moments when you can come back to your breath. Let it steady you. Let it clear space for calm, connection, and whatever comes next. I hope this Wise Walk reminded you that your breath is both your anchor and your reset button. Until next Thursday, keep tuning in, breathing deeply, and honoring the rhythm that keeps you aligned with your heart and your True Stride. In this episode: [04:40] There have been times in my life where I certainly catch myself holding my breath. [05:37] What I love about the three unifying breaths is that three deep breaths resets the nervous system. [06:12] There is scientific backing that supports this. Deep breathing will rewire our nervous systems. [07:21] I also catch myself holding my breath during a deep tissue massage. Breathwork can help us breathe through stress and cleanse. [08:25] The box breath is on counts of four. You inhale for a count of four. Then you hold for a count of four. Exhale for a count of four. Hold for a count of four. Repeat. [09:18] Being intentional about rewiring our nervous system is a great skill for all of us to have. [10:34] Box breathing is a beautiful rhythmic structure that gives us focus. [11:59] Breath work is always a focus like when we exercise. [12:41] You could also try the 4-7-8 practice. Inhale for four breaths. Hold for seven. Exhale for eight. [15:20] Scan your body to see how these practices help you. Memorable Quotes: "Every time we take three deep breaths, we give our nervous system a chance to reset." - Mary Tess "When we hold our breath, we hold tension. When we breathe deeply, we create space for ease." - Mary Tess "Breathwork is a bridge between the body and the mind. It reconnects what stress tries to separate." - Mary Tess Links and Resources: Mary Tess Rooney Email Heart Value Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram
Slovakia Today, English Language Current Affairs Programme from Slovak Radio
As many tourists and foreign residents have discovered, Slovakia is much more than its charming capital, Bratislava. From villages adorned with mysterious folk symbols to castles perched above deep valleys and trails leading into the rocky heights of Slovakia's many majestic mountains, the country is full of hidden gems. For those curious to explore beyond Slovakia's well-known destinations, we present our travel series called Country Roads. In this second episode, we journey to Muránska Planina National Park in central Slovakia. Here, we uncover the unique flora, fauna, and geology that make this relatively new national park so special. We also delve into the region's fascinating history and culture—once known as “the iron heart of Hungary.” Along the way, you'll get practical travel tips, discover how Slovak literature can enrich your trip, and even learn how feeding a ground squirrel might just make your adventure unforgettable.

Is real estate dead? Or are we just in the hangover phase after cheap money? In this episode of The Liquid Lunch Project, Matt and Lou sit down with August Biniaz (founder & CIO of CPI Capital) to rip the lid off today's real estate climate. We go deep on how interest rates broke the model, how Canadian mortgages force you to "rematch" every five years, and why "build-to-rent" is catching heat. The real bombs drop when we talk operator risk, investor communication, and where the real opportunities still lie in the U.S.
In this episode of Breakaway Wealth, host Jim Oliver sits down with Dr. John Oberg, founder of Priscina Health, a behavior expert, and a healthcare innovator, to explore the direct link between health and wealth. Dr. Oberg's mission is to help people take back control — of their bodies, their decisions, and their outcomes — through a philosophy he calls "radical incrementalism." Together, they unpack how small, sustainable habits compound into life-changing results — in fitness, finances, and freedom. From reversing Type 2 diabetes to understanding your "why," Dr. Oberg's approach blends data, behavior science, and compassion to help people get healthy for good. What You'll Learn: Why "radical incrementalism" works: how small, consistent changes beat massive, unsustainable overhauls. The health-wealth parallel: why both require discipline, patience, and a personal "why." How to find your right mountain: stop climbing the wrong goals — in business, health, and life. The hidden cost of being unhealthy: why illness drains both your bank account and your purpose. Building trust through small wins: how one patient lowered blood sugar 100 points by just changing ice cream. Power Moves: 1. Start smaller than you think. Change one thing — one habit, one food, one thought — and let momentum build. 2. Find your "why." Your reason must be bigger than your resistance. Write it down. Revisit it weekly. 3. Move more, move right. Wherever you are, do a little more. Choose real food over processed. Repeat. Dr. Oberg's Final Word "You can't fix the system overnight — but you can fix your habits today. Don't wait for perfect conditions. Take one radically small step toward the life you actually want." Connect with John Oberg: LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/johnoberg/ Website: www.johnoberg.com/

As we round the corner to the end of the year, I know how hard it can feel to stay motivated — especially when you're leading a business, a team, and a vision that never stops evolving. In this episode, I'm opening up about what it really takes to stay consistent and focused when your energy dips and motivation fades. I'm sharing the mindset shift that changed everything for me — the one that helped me evolve from a high-achieving entrepreneur into a disciplined, impact-driven leader. These are the habits that carried me through the highs and lows of building a business and continue to ground me today. Here's what I'll walk you through: Why motivation isn't the key to success — discipline is. My 3-step framework to rewire your brain for high performance: Learn, Apply, Repeat. How to quiet “idea overload” and stay focused on the actions that actually move the needle. What it looks like to evolve from doing the work to becoming the kind of leader who shows up — even when it's hard. If you're ready to stop chasing motivation and start creating momentum, this episode is your invitation to do the work that changes everything.

Renee shares her experiences, starting from her initial struggles with weight fluctuations to the positive changes she observed in her body and overall health since adopting an intermittent fasting lifestyle three years ago.Renee recounts the dramatic life events and stressors she has faced, including her son's battle with cancer and its recurrence. Despite these challenges, she found strength and a sense of control through intermittent fasting. Her story emphasizes the power of resilience and community support, and how fasting has helped her maintain stability and well-being during high-stress periods. Additionally, Renee discusses the importance of fitness and how it's intertwined with her fasting journey, offering insights into her exercise routines and the benefits of maintaining muscle mass and bone strength as we age.For those starting with intermittent fasting, Renee advises treating it as a new lifestyle rather than a temporary plan. She emphasizes that even if weight loss seems slow, the internal benefits are significant and transformative. It's vital to remain patient and consistent, knowing that the body is continuously working on improvements that aren't always visible. Her message is one of optimism and encouragement, urging new fasters to stay the course and trust the process for lasting health and wellness benefits.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html.

How to Stop Burnout Now October 23, 2025 | Episode 5209 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description One word will cure your burnout instantly. Scott gives it to you upfront because if that gets you, you'll be fine. Otherwise, he's got a five-step framework because that's what the internet wants these days. This isn't your standard motivational podcast. Scott motivates real people in the real world who are tired of toxic positivity but don't want to be negative either. The world's kind of wonky. It's not very nice. But we got to deal with it. So how do we do it? Featured Story Scott's wife catches him doing it again. He'll be bone tired, working hard, cranking all the time. Then his buddies call about a five-day motorcycle ride to the Tail of the Dragon. "Honey, I'm going." "You got stuff to do." "I'm sorry." "You said you were so tired and burnout." "Yeah, not anymore. I'm good now." That's the one word that instantly cures burnout. Inspiration. When it goes click in your mind, you're like "I'm good. Let's do this thing." If it's happened to you before, just go find a way to get inspired instead of grinding through a framework. But for those who don't believe him, Scott's got his five R's: Ritual, Rest, Rejuvenate, Reactivate, Repeat. Important Points If you get inspired, you're no longer tired—something happens psychologically when your mind goes click and suddenly you're ready to go. Success comes from performing ritual actions every day because business and life should be boring, not something that challenges you every single day. Your body and mind need to rejuvenate just like deep sleep repairs your body—take breaks before your body forces you to stop the other way. Memorable Quotes "If you get inspired, you're no longer tired." "Business should be boring. Life should be boring. The basics of how you roll should be pretty darn boring." "You will change when you wear yourself out. You'll be comfortably miserable to the end of time, and one day you'll say, I've had it." Scott's Three-Step Approach Find inspiration first because it's the fastest cure—when your mind clicks, burnout disappears and you're ready to go do the thing. Build daily rituals that work and repeat them because figuring out what works takes effort, but once you know, just do it boring and consistently. Cycle through rest and rejuvenation until you feel ready to reactivate, then repeat the process when you start getting tired again.

Ask Me How I Know: Multifamily Investor Stories of Struggle to Success
Burnout recovery isn't about doing less—it's about leading from peace. Discover how to hold ambition and contentment together without striving, and why true success begins when your pursuit flows from presence, not pressure.If you've ever wondered whether peace and ambition can coexist—this episode is your answer.In Ambition Without Burnout: The Paradox of Peaceful Pursuit, Julie Holly explores how high-capacity humans can pursue growth without losing the stillness they've fought to find. This conversation reframes the tension between gratitude and desire—not as conflict, but as confirmation that you're evolving.From a psychology lens, this episode unpacks Cognitive Dissonance Theory through an identity-level lens: that internal friction you feel isn't failure—it's feedback. It's your nervous system asking for congruence between who you've become inside and how you're living outside.Philosophically, Julie draws on Stoic wisdom, reminding us that peace isn't the absence of activity—it's the absence of attachment. And inspired by Ryan Holiday's Stillness Is the Key, she reframes stillness as precision, not passivity.Through the story of Anne Mulcahy, the CEO who led Xerox from collapse to resurgence by leading from calm instead of chaos, we see how peace and pursuit don't compete—they complete one another.At the heart of this episode is the soul-level truth that drives Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR):When your identity is anchored, your ambition becomes an act of gratitude. Because you're not striving for worth—you're stewarding what's already been entrusted to you.ILR is not another mindset tactic or productivity hack. It's the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective—because it doesn't just change your habits, it changes the who beneath them.Whether you're facing burnout recovery, decision fatigue, or a quiet sense of success without fulfillment, this episode will remind you: You don't have to choose between stillness and expansion. You can pursue without performing. You can build without burning out.Today's Micro Recalibration: The Both/And BreathFind a quiet moment—wherever you are.Take a deep inhale and whisper inwardly, “I am.” Exhale slowly and say, “I'm becoming.”Repeat this ten times.The inhale anchors your identity; the exhale activates your becoming.Because peace and purpose were never meant to compete—they were designed to coexist.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

If your lawyer makes you nervous to ask a question, you've already lost. Jeff Holman isn't your typical lawyer. He doesn't bill in six-minute increments, he doesn't hide behind legalese, and he sure as hell isn't trying to research something on your dime. Instead, he built Fractional Legal Team, a scalable model that gives founders legal backup before things blow up. Think of it like having a badass legal department… without the overhead or the attitude. We cover the legal blind spots that wreck early-stage companies, when to actually call a lawyer (spoiler: it's way earlier than you think), and why the billable hour model is the dumbest thing still haunting entrepreneurs.
Have you ever found yourself staring at your to-do list, desperately wanting to work, but somehow—-NOT working? You're scrolling through social media, reorganizing your desk, making another coffee—-doing anything but the thing you actually need to do. You are not lazy or broken, and according to today's guest, your problem isn't willpower; it's neuroscience. Are you ready to achieve more with brain-based strategies? Join us for a conversation that will change how you think about productivity. Robin J. Emdon, known as “the procrastination slayer,” shares his personal journey from chronic procrastination to accountability coach. After realizing that he took 10 years to complete a 6-year degree due to procrastination, Robin researched the neuroscience behind productivity and wrote Get Resultsology®: The Science of Getting Stuff Done. He explains procrastination through brain science, describing the conflict between threat modality and reward modality. He introduces his “inner productivity team,” the Conductor, the Fun-Sized Warrior, and the Scholar. His work emphasizes that accountability is the critical missing link for sustained productivity, citing research that shows a 33% improvement in goal achievement with the proper accountability structure. Robin's signature momentum formula, “Do it today–Profit tomorrow–Repeat,” helps clients worldwide turn daily action into meaningful progress and attainable success. He does this from his quiet corner on England's southwest coast. Show Highlights:Robin's journey: a 2019 face-palm moment that changed everythingThe prevalence of procrastination The COVID-19 shutdown—and an opportunity to do meaningful researchRobin's embarrassment about his procrastination problemThe structure of Robin's book, GetResultsology®: The Science of Getting Stuff Done, divided into three specific sections“Money is infinite; you can always make more. Your time and life are finite. Procrastination greatly impacts your ‘time account'.”Momentum is the missing link to productivity—and this creates lifestyle freedom.To get into “the productivity groove,” you need an inner productivity team: the Conductor (dopamine), the Fun-Sized Warrior (noradrenaline), and the Scholar (acetylcholine).Assessing your threat modality vs. your reward modalityUnderstanding accountability–and how it drives resultsResources:Connect with Robin J.

Hi Bakers,Not quite ready for Fall and all things pumpkin spice?? Get one last taste of summer in this classic dessert remixed. If you love coconut and pineapple, this might be the recipe for you! Just because you don't normally put it in a shortcake doesn't mean you shouldn't!…and I put this to the test, adding lime-infused pineapple instead of strawberry with gluten-free coconut shortcakes. Try this if you want sweet, limey pineapple with lots of whipped cream over tender and buttery shortcakes. Get the taste of a pina colada in every bite. Enjoy! ~CarolynGluten-Free Coconut Pineapple ShortcakesDRYMakes nine 3” shortcakes2 cups Cup4Cup Multipurpose Flour*1/2 cup finely shredded coconut, chopped fine1 teaspoon Koda Farms Sweet Rice Flour1/2 teaspoon salt1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder1/2 teaspoon baking soda4 tablespoons granulated sugar1/2 cup cold butter, cut into chunksWET1 large egg2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce2/3 cup full-fat coconut milk, stirred1 tablespoon fresh lime juice1/4 teaspoon lime zestFilling1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice5 cups freshly cut pineapple in small chunks1 tablespoon granulated sugar (Optional)Topping1 pint heavy whipping cream1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract1-2 tablespoons powdered sugarOptional: cream and sugar to brush on top before baking shortcakesPreheat the oven to 400°F and place the rack in the middle position. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, coconut, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar. Add the cold butter and cut it into the dry mixture until it resembles crumbs and only a few larger bits of butter remain. Place the bowl in the refrigerator.In a medium bowl, combine the egg, applesauce, coconut milk, zest, and lime juice. Pour the wet ingredients slowly into the dry ingredients, adding just enough to form a thick dough that is sticky but can still be rolled out into shapes. You may have some of the wet left over. The dough will be very soft, but it can be shaped with a bit of care. Scrape the dough out onto a floured counter and pat it into a large circle. The height of the dough should be about 3/4 inches tall. Cut into shapes using a cookie cutter, I used one about 3 inches wide. Re-roll the dough scraps and cut out as many shortcakes as you can. Repeat until you don't have any dough. This recipe makes ~9 shortcakes. Place the shortcakes on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and brush with cream. Sprinkle with sugar if desired. Shortcakes will brown much better if you brush them with cream. Bake for 10-14 minutes or until browned on top and firm in the middle. Cool on a rack.Wash and slice 4-5 cups of fresh pineapple into small chunks, and add 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar if desired. Stir to combine. Set aside.Whip chilled heavy cream in a high-sided bowl with a 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1-2 tablespoons of powdered sugar. Whip until it forms stiff peaks.Assemble shortcakes by cutting them in half and spooning pineapple on the base, top with whipped cream, and garnish with mint if desired. Eat immediately!Vegan variation:-Use another gluten-free flour blend that does not contain milk powder. I like Cup4Cup Ancient grains flour for a heartier taste, or any gluten-free King Arthur Flour-Use non-dairy butter, I like Miyoko's brand in the stick, not the tub-Use egg-substitute or about 31/4 T more milk in place of an egg*Check the ingredient list of this flour blend (it contains milk powder) for possible allergens so you can bake safely!

Drawing from over 20 years in improv theater, Tane explains techniques such as "Yes, And" to validate patient concerns and build trust, staying present to avoid jumping to conclusions, and using nonverbal cues for better rapport. Through fun exercises like one-word stories, Tane demonstrates how these tools help healthcare professionals slow down, connect authentically, and navigate unpredictable situations, ultimately making interactions more enjoyable and effective for both providers and patients.Three Actionable Takeaways:· Stay Present and Listen Actively: In healthcare, it's easy to jump to conclusions based on experience, but staying present ensures accurate diagnoses and builds patient trust. Repeat the last thing a patient says to start your response, slowing down your thought process, demonstrating engagement, and allowing their full story to unfold naturally for better outcomes. Embrace "Yes, And": Validate patient ideas by starting responses with "Yes" to affirm what they've said, then add "And" to build collaboratively, exploring their concerns without dismissal. This fosters open dialogue, rapport, and partnership, turning potential conflicts into constructive conversations that enhance understanding and adherence to treatment plans. Incorporate Theatricality: Use exaggerated nonverbal cues, like expressive facial reactions and body language, to show genuine interest in patients' stories. This "theatricality" amplifies empathy, making interactions more authentic and helping patients feel heard, even if you're familiar with their condition, ultimately strengthening trust and the therapeutic relationship. About the ShowSucceed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more. If you're tired of dull medical lectures, tune in for real-world lessons we should have learned in med school!About the Guest:Tane Danger is an improviser with over 20 years of experience performing, teaching, and directing improv theater.

Betrayal shakes our sense of safety and self-trust—and that lights up fear. In this conversation, fear researcher and author Dr. Mary Poffenroth breaks fear down into plain language and gives you practical, physiology-first tools to calm the brain in the moment. We cover how fear hijacks the amygdala (your alarm system), how to bring the prefrontal cortex (clear thinking) back online, and how to tell the difference between fictional fears (rumination, future-tripping) and non-fictional fears (real, in-the-moment cues). You'll leave with quick exercises you can do anywhere—no apps, no gear, no supplements. What we cover Why high-achievers and “head types” often research their feelings instead of feeling them—and how that becomes a hidden avoidance loop. How fear shows up after betrayal: fear of change, of the unknown, of failure and success, and the loss of control those trigger. The RAIN framework to move through fear step by step: Recognize, Assign, Identify, Navigate. Two fast neurohacks you can use anywhere: Pinch the Valley: massage the meaty point between thumb and index finger to stimulate the vagus nerve and down-shift arousal. Near & Far (convergence drill): track a finger/pen from arm's length to your nose and back to engage convergence and cue parasympathetic “rest & digest.” The nervous-system bus: only one driver at a time (sympathetic fight/flight vs. parasympathetic rest/digest) and how to switch drivers on purpose. Fictional vs. non-fictional fear (sometimes called “dirty vs. clean” in the literature): how to stop feeding rumination and respond to real-time signals. The two big “buckets” behind most fictional fears: “I'm not enough” and “I'm losing control.” How labeling one calms the spiral. Try-it-now tools (step-by-step) Pinch the Valley (vagus nerve reset) Make an “L” with one hand (thumb + index). With the other hand's thumb and index, massage the firm, meaty point where the thumb and index finger bones meet (below the web). 30–60 seconds per hand while breathing slowly. Expect a subtle down-shift in agitation; repeat as needed. Near & Far (convergence reset) Hold a finger or pen at arm's length; softly focus on it. Slowly bring it toward the bridge of your nose until it blurs/doubles, then return to arm's length. Repeat 5–8 times to help re-engage focus and cue parasympathetic tone. RAIN (micro-walkthrough) Recognize: Name the body cues (tight jaw, racing heart). Assign: “This is fear arousal.” (Not anger, not shame—fear.) Identify: Is this fictional (story/rumination) or non-fictional (real cue)? If fictional, which bucket: not enough or loss of control? Navigate: Pick one action (boundary, breath, call a friend, make the ask). Notable quotes “We spend so much time pretending fear doesn't exist—and that just drives it underground.” —Dr. Mary “When the amygdala is lit, the prefrontal cortex goes dim. Get your body safe first; the smart ideas return second.” “Healthy distractions—work, fitness, staying busy—can still be avoidance.” “Label it: fictional or non-fictional. Then choose a move.” —Dr. Mary “What we feed grows. Let's feed courage with small, repeatable actions.” Who this episode is for Anyone navigating betrayal who feels stuck between fear and next steps. Practitioners and leaders who need simple, teachable fear tools. High-performers who think their feelings and want body-based resets.

AI isn't just answering our questions or carrying out instructions. It's learning how to play to our expectations.This week on Future-Focused, I'm unpacking Anthropic's newly released Claude Sonnet 4.5 System Card, specifically the implications of the section that discussed how the model realized it was being tested and changed its behavior because of it.That one detail may seem small, but it raises a much bigger question about how we evaluate and trust the systems we're building. Because, if AI starts “performing for the test,” what exactly are we measuring, truth or compliance? And, can we even trust the results we get?In this episode, I break down three key insights you need to know from Anthropic's safety data and three practical actions every leader should take to ensure their organizations don't mistake performance for progress.My goal is to illuminate why benchmarks can't always be trusted, how “saying no” isn't the same as being safe, and why every company needs to define its own version of “responsible” before borrowing someone else's.If you care about building trustworthy systems, thoughtful oversight, and real human accountability in the age of AI, this one's worth the listen.Oh, and if this conversation challenged your thinking or gave you something valuable, like, share, and subscribe. You can also support my work by buying me a coffee.

If God is all-powerful (omnipotent), all-knowing (omniscient), and all-reigning (sovereign), then why should human beings pray? What is the ultimate point of prayer, if God will do His will in the end?Today on Rinse and Repeat, we address these critical questions about prayer, taking a look especially at what prayer does in the lives of believers. In addition to exploring WHY we pray, I also address when, where, and even ways in which we can seek the Lord in prayer.Also, this episode opens up with some truly exciting news for all R&R listeners and supporters!!!

Reactivate dormant priestess lineages and ancient light codes within your DNA. Reopen the inner temples of remembrance within your energy body and soul memory. Awaken feminine sovereignty, beauty, devotion, and truth as living frequencies. Transmute density, fear, and suppression through vibrational resonance and divine love. Anchor the sacred marriage of spirit and matter, the embodiment of heaven on earth. This is energy work disguised as sound, sacred intelligence translated into frequency. Every tone, pulse, and silence carries living light that knows where to travel in your field and what to awaken. Through layered light codes and energetic recoding, this session: Activates your Priestess DNA and reawakens ancient feminine wisdom. Recodes your field with the Magdalene, Hathor, and Isis lineages; divine frequencies of beauty, truth, and sacred service. Balances your inner masculine and feminine currents, restoring harmony, receptivity, and divine leadership. Expands your nervous system to hold more light and transmit it with grace. Aligns your energy field to the crystalline grids of Earth, connecting you with the ancient temples of light across time. It is a quantum remembrance, re-patterning your energetic architecture for full embodiment of your priestess essence. As you listen, feel the waves of light weaving through your field, awakening your remembrance, activating your lineage, and restoring the sacred codes of your soul. Each playback deepens your embodiment as the Walking Priestess of Light; sovereign, radiant, and fully anchored in divine love. Ways to Work with This Transmission Meditation Journey Sit or lie down with intention. Allow the sound to carry you into Theta where your energy body and subconscious can integrate the codes of remembrance. Energetic Calibration in the Background Play softly while you rest, create, or sleep. The field continues to recalibrate your energy system beyond conscious awareness. Ritual or Devotional Practice Listen before ceremony, creation, or healing work to attune to your priestess frequency and divine embodiment. Daily Alignment Practice Pair with journaling, movement, or breathwork to amplify the remembrance field. Integration Support Use after energy sessions, channeling, or emotional release to stabilize new light frequencies into the body. How to Work with Intention Before pressing play, center your breath and call forth your lineage: “I now open to receive the codes of remembrance, to reactivate my Priestess Path in full divine embodiment.” As the Transmission begins, surrender all effort. Allow the frequency to do the work. When complete, journal or rest, trusting what arises as the ancient wisdom within you reawakens. Repeat daily for several days or cycles until you feel complete integration, then move to the next layer of remembrance. Integration Disclaimer These Transmissions initiate deep energetic realignment and remembrance. You may experience heightened sensitivity, vivid dreams, emotional release, or waves of activation as your field reorganizes to hold more light and coherence. This is natural. Honor rest, hydration, nature connection, and stillness. Your system is literally re-templating itself into higher alignment with your divine blueprint. Best experienced with headphones for full binaural synchronization and energetic depth. This is SpiritCode™ Energy Technology, a living current of light that cleanses, heals, and renews every layer of your being, restoring you to peace, clarity, and radiant sovereignty.

She shares her lifelong struggle with weight despite being sporty and active in her early years. Significant weight gain occurred during a high school exchange in Japan, leading to an ongoing battle with maintaining a healthy weight, exacerbated by knee injuries and surgeries. Joanne explored a few diets, including calorie counting and hypnotherapy, with little success. Her breakthrough came in August 2022, when she discovered intermittent fasting through Gin's book, Delay, Don't Deny, leading to a steady and sustainable weight loss journey. Joanne highlights the psychological and physical benefits she experienced, including improved emotional balance, stronger physical fitness, and the ability to enjoy activities like stick fighting and yoga. Her story also touches on family support and how intermittent fasting has fit seamlessly into her lifestyle. Joanne's advice for newcomers to intermittent fasting is to approach the journey with self-love and patience. It is essential to adopt intermittent fasting for oneself and not others, finding a supportive community can be invaluable. While the weight may not fall off quickly, the non-scale victories and improved well-being are worth the effort. Be kind to yourself, give it time, and remember that persistence is key.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html. Good news!

If you've ever felt behind, confused, or just plain bored when it comes to your money, Scott's got a wake-up call: you have more power than you think…but it's fading by the decade. He lays out his 3 financial epiphanies that simplify how money grows, why time matters more than talent, and what most people get dead wrong about saving and debt. This isn't a lecture.

Description Wrong words wrote your life. Today, we kill the script and install truth. It's not a discipline problem—it's a dialogue problem. Conversation → conviction → direction. In this message: • How self-talk keeps you looping the same outcomes • Why “faith comes by hearing” works both ways (truth vs. trash) • Jesus chose standards over suggestions—so can you • Practical steps to end contaminated conversations + start divine dialogue Scriptures: Romans 10:17, Proverbs 4:23, Proverbs 18:21, Genesis 3 (“Who told you…?”), Matthew 16:21–23, Jeremiah 29:11 Pray & Act This Week: Mute a source that feeds fear. Replace one contamination phrase with a truth phrase. Repeat it daily—out loud.

She shares her journey from being a strong athlete growing up to her struggles with weight that began during a two-year missions trip in South America, and continued as she experienced post-pregnancy weight gain. Sonja began intermittent fasting in 2020, and had initial success, losing 20 pounds, but the challenges that arose during a family crisis led her to stop fasting consistently for a significant period of time. Finally, in early 2025, she felt ready to resume the IF lifestyle.Sonja talks about the benefits she experienced with intermittent fasting, such as having more energy, fewer UTIs, and improved dental health. Despite the setbacks, when Sonja found her way back to intermittent fasting in early 2025, she rediscovered the numerous non-scale victories that her body greatly enjoyed. She emphasizes how Alternate Day Fasting (ADF) helped her break through a weight loss plateau, offering her greater flexibility and satisfaction by accommodating her social life better.For new intermittent fasters, Sonja advises tapping into resources like Gin's podcasts and books to stay informed and motivated. She highlights the importance of experimenting with different fasting methods to find what fits both physically and emotionally. Most importantly, she encourages listeners to be kind and gracious with themselves during challenging times, knowing that intermittent fasting is a sustainable and flexible lifestyle change that can always be resumed when they're ready.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html.
