SUMMARY: - “Hurting people hurt people—but narcissists mean to. The higher up the spectrum, the more deliberate and sadistic it becomes.” - “A normal person can self-reflect and repair. A narcissist can't or won't—self-reflection feels like death to them.” - “You didn't cause this, and you can't fix it. It's not your fault.” - “As darkness rises, so does the glory of God. What the enemy meant for evil, God can turn for good.” - “If you move slowly and keep physical/emotional boundaries while dating, a narcissist will often disqualify himself.” Annette's 4-category spectrum - Category 1: “Normal” human flaws—can be selfish or insensitive at times, but can self-reflect, repent, repair, and grow. - Category 2: Emotionally immature; hurtful without calculated malice. Constant defensiveness, blame-shifting, meltdowns when confronted. Change is unlikely; aim is reducing chaos and managing wisely if you choose to stay. - Category 3: Calculated and conniving. Love-bombing, data-mining your hopes/fears to weaponize later. Public charm/private cruelty. Dangerous in church/community settings. You won't resolve this. - Category 4: Sociopathic/psychopathic traits. Amplified cruelty and real danger. Divorce triggers the “monster.” Requires safety planning, documentation, and expert help. Dating red flags and protection - Love-bombing: intense pursuit, “soulmate” language, over-the-top gestures, fast-moving timeline. - Boundary testing: pushes past your limits; discomfort rises quickly. - Inconsistencies and subtle cruelty: backhanded comments, smirks at tears or grief, delight in your pain. - How to protect: move slowly, keep physical/emotional boundaries early, listen to the Holy Spirit and your discomfort, look for patterns (not isolated incidents), and let time test character. If you stay (Category 2 dynamics) - Goal: not fixing him, but wisely reducing chaos and preserving your well-being and the household's stability. - Tactics: reframe requests in terms of what benefits him; avoid head-on confrontation; build your life outside the relationship (calling, ministry, education, friendships). - Support: grief the loss of the dream; get equipped; find a small, trusted peer group who truly understands narcissistic abuse. If you're considering leaving (especially 3–4) - Safety first: if there's a risk of harm, have a go-bag for you/kids/pets and get out. - Prepare: document everything; expect financial sabotage; avoid using the term “narcissist” in court unless there's a diagnosis. - Kids: courts may be vulnerable to “parental alienation” claims; consider a High-Conflict Divorce Coach to reduce legal costs and navigate strategy. - Church/community: narcissists often “borrow” your credibility and pre-poison relationships. Find a healthy church culture and rebuild wise support. Biblical considerations for divorce - Abuse, abandonment, adultery are valid biblical grounds. With minors, weigh carefully: safety, modeling for children, and the realities of family court. Healing and identity - Post-abuse, identity is almost always impacted. You can be 10 years out and still hear their voice in your head—self-abuse by proxy. - The path: clean up the past (lies, agreements, unresolved pain), rebuild identity in Christ, then step into power and authority with wisdom and boundaries. - Beauty must rise with pain: intentionally add joy, nature, creativity, and community to counterbalance suffering. Church and parenting insights - Teach kids the Word, discernment, and healthy vs. unhealthy relationship dynamics. Christlike love includes boundaries and walking away when necessary. Programs and resources Annette mentioned - Living Well While Staying: coaching for women who choose to remain in Category 2 marriages, focused on reducing chaos and rebuilding a meaningful life. - Cinderella No More Academy: membership community and tools for recovery and growth. - Cinderella Conversations: 4-session discovery series on identifying narcissistic dynamics, tactics, false guilt, and spiritual warfare. - Upcoming book: Cinderella No More: Becoming Ella (target 2026). She's seeking early readers for feedback. - For severe trauma/PTSD: consider a Christian therapist specializing in trauma; complement with coaches who understand narcissistic abuse. Interview for fit. One thing to remember - You didn't cause it, you can't fix it—and this isn't the end. With God, this can be the beginning of a new, stronger chapter. You get to write the next chapters with Him.   PODCAST INTRO: My guest Annette Chesney is a Christian coach, speaker, and seasoned recovery professional  who equips women healing from narcissistic abuse. Narcissistic dynamics can be hard to spot because they often look like ordinary relationship friction at first. Many people struggle to tell the difference between someone who is simply hurting and occasionally hurtful, and someone who persistently harms others without accountability.  One useful way to think about it is as a spectrum: not everyone with difficult traits is a narcissist, and not every narcissistic person behaves the same way. Understanding this range can help you decide what you're seeing—and what to do next. But before you think that keeps you in the dark….Annette has created a spectrum that consists of 4 categories or types of narcissists including 10 different characteristics. What she shares is very interesting and from my experience very accurate.  Annette's work is done both one-on-one and in groups. She talks primarily from a women's point of view with regard to narcissistic abuse but she did say men are subject to women narcs as well.  Annette talks about common red flags and she says pay attention to patterns over time rather than isolated incidents; that wider view tells the truth. Annette even shares about how she coaches women who choose to stay in a challenging relationship…she teaches  “management” strategies that focus less on changing the other person and more on stabilizing her client's environment, protecting her energy, and minimizing chaos. A few of the examples she gave were learning how to reframe requests so they're seen as mutually beneficial, limiting circular arguments, and building a strong support system outside the relationship.  She even touches on the subject for when separation or divorce becomes necessary and minor children are involved. She alerted us to the fact that trauma symptoms, including anxiety and PTSD‑like responses, are not uncommon adding that qualified mental health support and targeted coaching can help you recover clarity and confidence. Even with the reality of living with the effects of narcissistic abuse…the dismantling of who you are, loss of confidence, identity, goals, dreams etc. , Annette says recovery is possible. Many people find that healing involves unpacking earlier hurts, challenging false beliefs, rebuilding identity, and learning durable skills: boundaries, self‑care, emotional regulation, and discernment.  Getting connected with the right help will make all the difference and get you to what she calls…your Kingdom Zone of Impact where you're living with identity and purpose in Christ.  Her parting words were for the listener to remember two things that are worth holding onto: you didn't cause someone else's narcissistic pattern, and you can't fix it for them. What you can do is prioritize safety, educate yourself/get informed, surround yourself with wise support, and invest in your own future. Whether you're staying, preparing to leave, or rebuilding afterward, the next chapters can be healthier—with Christ those next chapters are filled with restoration and redemption, they can bring clarity, strength identity and purpose… and they're yours to discover with the Lover of Your Soul, the One who never abuses you, never fails you, Jesus.

What if the reason you feel stuck is not a lack of effort, but an identity that cannot sustain the life you want?In this episode of the Purpose Chasers Podcast, Mark Crandall sits down with longtime friend and mentor Anthony Trucks to unpack the concept of dark work. This is the unseen and uncomfortable work required to fundamentally shift who you are at your core.Anthony shares why mindset alone is not enough, how identity dictates execution, and why most people burn out chasing outcomes instead of becoming the person capable of holding them.This conversation explores why identity, not motivation, drives lasting change. It examines why most people quit when things get hard. It breaks down how dark work rewires discipline, confidence, and execution. It also explains why doing the work in silence prepares you to win in the light.If you are in a season of rebuilding, redefining, or reclaiming your purpose, this episode will meet you there.Follow the Purpose Chasers Podcast and leave a review to support the movement.

Why Peace in Your Home Requires Capacity, Not Perfection Many Christian parents believe peace will come when they finally get it right — fewer mistakes, better routines, calmer reactions. In this episode, Diana Bigham explains why peace doesn't come from perfection, but from capacity: the ability to stay present, regulated, and grounded when things are hard. You'll learn how capacity — not control — creates safety in your home, why leadership matters more than flawless parenting, and how small internal shifts can radically change the atmosphere your children experience. Episode Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction: Why peace feels elusive for many parents 01:40 – The myth that peace comes from getting it right 03:20 – What capacity actually means in everyday parenting 05:15 – Perfection vs presence: why perfection increases pressure 07:10 – A real-life meltdown example: control vs leadership 09:05 – Why leadership creates safety (not compliance) 11:00 – How children learn peace through our capacity 12:45 – Why capacity is built over time, not in one moment 14:15 – Reflection question + Pioneer Parent invitation Key Takeaway Peace in your home doesn't come from eliminating conflict, it comes from having the capacity to stay present and lead well when conflict shows up. Reflective Question Where do I lose capacity the fastest in my parenting, and what might that be inviting me to grow? Want to build real capacity instead of chasing perfection?

Send us a textForgiveness without access. That single reframe changes how you heal, set boundaries, and stop returning to what hurts.Most of us were taught forgiveness means reconciliation that if you've truly forgiven someone, they get to come back. But forgiveness is releasing the war with reality, not granting someone access to your life.Here's why you keep going back: you can't forgive what you haven't grieved. We skip straight to "I forgive you" without letting ourselves feel how devastated, betrayed, or disappointed we are. When you honor grief in your body instead of bypassing it in your head, you stop waiting for apologies and start choosing your freedom.We explore:The difference between naming harm and blaming (so you keep your power)Why seeing people as they are not their potential protects your energyHow to recognize discernment vs. the wound's voice (that "you're being cold" feeling isn't your conscience)What to do when nostalgia hits and your nervous system craves the familiarReal examples: family pressure to reconcile, friendship harm, co-parenting realitiesConversation can offer clarity, but reconciliation requires evidence of change not just hope. Love can say no. You can forgive, hold a boundary, and keep a soft heart with a strong back.Healing isn't about being nice; it's about being free.If this episode resonates, like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs to hear this.

At the heart of the gospel is the doctrine of union with Christ – we are in Christ, and he is in us. As we turn the corner on another year, we pause to look more closely at this reality. In this sermon, we consider the simple truth that union with Christ requires death.

HT2484 - Sometimes the Meaning Requires Time During one of the first Christmas holidays after my divorce in the late 1980s, I drove over to Eastern Oregon on Christmas Day for a little photography. I made one image that day. It took years for me to understand what that image was, but in many ways it changed my relationship with photography profoundly. Among other things, that image taught me that sometimes a photograph can be personally valuable yet have no impact beyond that. That doesn't diminish its importance to us.

The fourth Sunday of Advent represents love, so Pastor Dana takes to Matthew 1:18-25, which shows love through Joseph's obedience, and John 1:1-18, which shows love through the divine initiate of the Word made flesh. When we follow the ways of Christ, the way we love others includes visibly showing how we care for one another. Darkness only flees if it is broken by the light. When we show our love, we stamp out little pieces of darkness over and over again.

Part 2 of 2: "Why Becoming Your Future Self Requires Letting Go | Dr. Benjamin Hardy" What if the hardest part of becoming your future self isn't discipline or clarity, but the willingness to let go of what once made you successful?. Episode Description Part 1 revealed why meaning comes before courage. Part 2 reveals the price of acting on that meaning. In this continuation, Dr. Benjamin Hardy takes the conversation out of the abstract and into lived reality. He dismantles one of the most seductive lies in personal growth: that you can create a radically different future without giving up the past that built your current life. Using the 80/20 principle, Dr. Hardy explains why most people remain trapped in "2x thinking", incremental improvement driven by familiarity, safety, and social approval. True 10x growth, he argues, is not additive. It is subtractive. It requires stripping away nearly everything that does not belong to the future you are committed to becoming.  Together, Dov and Ben explore why letting go feels like tearing off a limb, how family and loved ones unconsciously resist your transformation, and why honesty, not harmony, is the foundation of real growth. This episode is not motivational. It is clarifying. And for many listeners, it will be confronting. .

Many founders believe scaling is about doing more of what worked early. In this episode, Brandon explains why that mindset caps growth at $10M, and what has to change next.You'll learn how heroics turn into bottlenecks, why systems outperform hustle, how hiring people who challenge you strengthens the company, and why formal decision rights unlock momentum. Brandon also breaks down the emotional side of scaling (identity loss, control, and letting go ) and why shrinking your role is the fastest way to grow the business.If you're approaching or stuck near $10M, this episode shows exactly what has to change to break through.

Grit isn't it. You need joy in community. In this second half of our Disneyland conversation, we shift from rides and rain ponchos to something deeper: how community and belonging make joy stick when life is brutal. My friends and I talk about what it really looks like to have people who've got your back—through job changes, grief, divorce, parenting, and the everyday “I cannot do one more hard thing” moments. From a weekly group that's met for 15 years, to long-distance friendships sustained by Marco Polo, to a monthly “Food Club” that became a lifeline, we unpack how joy and resilience are built together, not alone. We also dig into: why saying “yes” to embodied, in-person time changes your brain, why most adults stop marking milestones (and why that's a problem), how the gap and the gain framework helps leaders see how far they've come, and why celebrating after hard things isn't denial—it's evidence that you're still here and still growing. Here's What's in the Episode: Community is resilience infrastructure, not a bonus. Joy and resilience go hand-in-hand when you have people who will listen, pray, problem-solve, or just sit with you so you can take the next step instead of staying stuck. Belonging doesn't magically appear—you build it. “Everybody wants the village, but nobody wants to be a villager.” Showing up, checking in, hosting, inviting, and going first are how leaders create real community in life and at work. Embodied time together literally changes how you feel. Moving from “once-a-year girls' trip” to more frequent in-person time deepened connection and created a rooted sense of belonging—what your team also needs, beyond Slack and email. Celebration marks the gain, not just the goal. Using the gap and the gain idea, we talk about how consciously looking back at what you've survived and accomplished builds self-efficacy, confidence, and courage for the next hard thing. Most meaningful wins are a group sport. Writing a book is solitary, but finishing and celebrating it isn't. Leadership works the same way—you may carry the title, but you don't carry the load alone (or at least, you shouldn't). Key Takeaway Joy and resilience aren't solo acts — leaders thrive when they build and lean on real community.

Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – Liberty depends on citizens who stay engaged where power is closest. Rising energy and housing costs reveal how fragile freedom becomes when decisions drift away from local control. History, constitutional limits, and personal responsibility matter now. A republic endures only when people vote, serve, and protect faith, family, and community...

There are many reasons why we may not see results in our callings—some are beyond our control, while others are within it. One factor we can control is our personal growth. It's not about physical growth, but about who we are becoming. The person you are today must develop into the person required for tomorrow's success, because reaching the next level in your calling demands a new version of you.

It's with a heavy heart that I'm pushing pause on PG-ish. The podcast has been going strong for over six years, and while I've learned much and grown alongside all of you, I realize that it's time for a pivot. This decision didn't happen suddenly, but rather came from a quiet and slow feeling that it was time for a change. Today I'm sharing my thought process behind this decision and the changes I'm making in my own life moving forward. I'll still be on this parenting journey with you, learning and growing and changing. The PG-ish website and all the podcast episodes will still be available, so don't hesitate to reach out any time.

You don't hit a ceiling because you're doing something wrong. You hit it because you've outgrown the container you're operating in. This episode is about what it takes to really expand in your business.. It's about the moment when the version of you who started your business can no longer lead the version of the business you want next. I'm sharing what it looks like when growth starts feeling heavy, why that's actually a signal (not a problem), and how expanding your container changes the way you lead, sell, price, and make decisions. In this episode, we explore: What it actually means to outgrow your business container Why growth often feels uncomfortable right before expansion happens The identity shifts required to move into your next income level How CEO-level thinking changes your relationship with money, pricing, and decisions Why expansion isn't about adding more: it's about holding more The "flower pot problem" and how to know when you need a bigger one What changes when you stop operating like the version who started the business How expanding your container creates ease, confidence, and momentum Why the next level doesn't require a new strategy: it requires a new posture The subtle shifts that separate entrepreneurs who plateau from those who scale If you're in this season… You've built proof. You have results and momentum.  Your business works, but it doesn't feel as expansive as it should. You might feel financially tighter than expected for your level of experience. You might notice you're tolerating things that no longer align. You might feel a quiet pull toward bigger conversations, cleaner systems, and more intentional growth. It's a sign you're ready for expansion. About the Expansion Era Mastermind I also share details about my upcoming 6-month mastermind for established entrepreneurs who are ready to expand their income, leadership, and business ecosystem. This is for you if you: Are already having five-figure months Know your body of work is meant to scale Want to lead at a higher level without burning out Are ready for cleaner systems, stronger decisions, and long-term growth

In this raw, year-end episode, Human Design, Gene Keys & AI Business Coach Kehla G takes listeners inside the most honest breakdown of her entrepreneurial journey yet — a year marked by grief, fraud, financial contraction, ruptured relationships, backend collapse, and a complete restructuring of what leadership looks like for the next era of online business. Instead of hiding the mess, Kehla names every layer of it. And while the 2025 coaching industry leaned heavily into identity-led branding, performative “evolutions,” and hype-driven movements, Kehla reveals the quieter — and far more powerful — shift she experienced: She stopped softening herself to match an industry performing its evolution. She stopped cushioning her boundaries. She stopped mothering clients who needed truth, not comfort. She stopped diluting her genius to avoid being misinterpreted. She stopped holding together systems, friendships, and offers that were already collapsing. This episode marks the moment she stepped into structural maturity: precision, directness, intentionality, and a business model built on rhythm instead of forever-access hoarding. Kehla shares what actually cracked open beneath the surface — the death of old identities, the end of rescuing, the void that forced her into total surrender, and the rebuild that followed as she left Kajabi, rebuilt her backend, simplified her offers, and embraced a cleaner, sharper, more architected way of doing business. For entrepreneurs navigating their own unraveling, this episode offers a grounded, SEO-rich reflection on the future of the coaching industry, Human Design–aligned leadership, Gene Keys–inspired refinement, and the collective shift toward precision as we move into 2026. Inside this episode, Kehla explores: ✨ What Actually Happened — loss, fraud, financial collapse, ruptures, the void

Why did God reveal Jesus' birth the way He did? God, beaming as the proud Father He is, He didn't write it in the skies though He could have. He didn't release all of creation to clap their hands and sing for their Creator though He could have. He didn't tell the ones who society held as most important - the kings and political figures, not even the religious leaders as we'll soon uncover. He came to ones He saw as very important and incredibly symbolic - the lowly shepherds.In these weeks leading up to Christmas, we're looking at those who missed Christmas so we can learn how to be a noticer. How can we become aware and spiritually awake so we do not miss the miracles and God's presence in our midst. Today, we're talking about:What can we learn from those who missed ChristmasWhy did God reveal Jesus' birth the way He did?God honors humility - throughout scripture and today tooC A N D A C E  C O F E Rauthor + speaker ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠instagram⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠youtube⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠facebook⁠

In this episode, I talk about how growth can make people uncomfortable—not because you're doing something wrong, but because you're doing something unexpected. Sometimes it's not enough for others that you're content; it's almost as if they want you to stay average, familiar, and non-threatening.I reflect on moments like buying my car—how some people said it was “out of my league,” while knowing that if it had been older or smaller, the same voices would've questioned whether it was good enough. That contradiction reveals a deeper truth: when you grow, the criticism often isn't about your choices—it's about other people's limits.We talk about: • Why growth challenges people who are comfortable staying where they are • How “be humble” can become code for don't outgrow us • Why risk-taking is often mislabeled as arrogance • How to keep moving forward without shrinking yourself to be palatableThis episode is for anyone who's tired of being told—directly or subtly—to play it safe, dim their light, or stay in a box that no longer fits. Choosing growth isn't a rejection of where you came from. It's a commitment to where you're going.Follow me:IG : @abbbennie

Pressure doesn't look dangerous—until the instant it is. We take you right to the two moments that matter most in filter service—when the lid comes off and when it goes back on—and show you how to turn a risky task into a safe, repeatable routine.We start by reframing the filter as a pressure vessel, not a harmless canister. Sand filters are usually one-piece and lower risk; cartridge and DE filters come apart, rely on clamps or locking rings, and can fail if misaligned or under-tightened. You'll hear why modern safety designs like the Aquastar Pipeline's interlock are so effective and how to apply the same logic on any system: power down, bleed air, drain, and verify zero pressure before loosening hardware.From there, we share practical safeguards that work in the field. Put automation in service mode, move Intermatic trippers, or cut the subpanel, but don't stop there—remove the pump lid so the system can't prime even if a glitch starts the motor. We talk through clamps in detail: reading spring-barrel nuts, preventing cross-threading with a touch of lube, knowing when a clamp is cosmetic-ugly yet structurally sound, and when to replace hardware for peace of mind. On restart, we step back, open the air relief, and wait for water before approaching. A spiking gauge is your red flag for a blocked return or a clogged salt cell; shut down fast, clear the path, and protect the tank.• treating the filter as a pressure hazard• relative risks of sand, cartridge, and DE filters• turning off power and automation service mode• removing the pump lid as a fail-safe• bleeding air and safe startup distance• clamp types, tightening until spring coils meet• avoiding cross-threading and when to replace clamps• spotting dangerous pressure spikes and return blockages• quick priming tips and avoiding automation glitches• training techs to follow a standard safety checklistLearn more at swimmingpoollearning.com  On the banner, there's a podcast icon—click for the archive  Learn more at PoolGuyCoachinSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Australian artist Meyrick Kaminski spent twelve years in Germany. This experience has shaped him not only as a person, but even more so as an artist. In an interview, the Melbourner explains why he chose Braunschweig over the art capital Berlin. He also talks about the question of whether German history prevents healthy discourse and about German vans in West Africa. - Meyrick Kaminski ist Künstler. Der Australier hat zwölf Jahre in Deutschland verbracht. Diese Erfahrung hat ihn nicht nur als Person, sondern vor allem als Künstler geprägt. Im Interview erzählt der Melbourner, warum er Braunschweig der Kunsthauptstadt Berlin vorzog.

Segment 8 — Cutting the Funding: Policy Recommendations for Containing North Korea — Bruce Bechtol — Bechtol argues that effective containment policy requires avoiding kinetic military operations and instead targeting North Korea's financial apparatus to destabilize the regime. This strategy requires rigorous enforcement of existing international sanctions, deployment of advanced cyber warfare capabilities, seizure of smuggling vessels (though acknowledging potential escalation risks), and selective precision strikes targeting critical infrastructure supporting weapons proliferation. 1951 PANMUNJOM
