Send us Fan MailAnd….we're BACK with a fresh new season of the Bare Marriage podcast! We're kicking things off with a lively deep dive into the debate over purity culture, asking what happens when influential Christian voices revise their past teachings, redefine the terms, and rewrite the history of what they once taught. We unpack the difference between biblical chastity and shame-based purity culture, take on straw man arguments and shifting definitions, and explore how messages about sex, marriage, authority, and obligation can shape the church in ways we may not always recognize. Real change requires more than just saying something was harmful - it requires honesty, accountability, and a willingness to pursue better fruit. This is Part 1 of a 3-part series, so let's get to it and be sure to tune in next week!CHECK OUT OUR OCTOBER SIMULCAST EVENTWe're doing our sex talk and a one-day marriage conference!

The Narcissist Wants You to Believe This Lie Have you ever confronted a narcissist with undeniable proof, only to have them deny everything, twist the facts, or completely rewrite what happened? If you've ever left a conversation wondering, "Did that really happen the way I remember it?" or "Am I losing my mind?"—you're not alone. In this episode of Help! I Have a Narcissist in My Life, Laurel Slade-Waggoner explains why narcissists lie, deny, and rewrite history, and more importantly, how you can protect your sanity without getting pulled into their distorted version of reality. You'll learn why narcissists often refuse to acknowledge the truth, how gaslighting and history rewriting are used to maintain control, and why trying to convince them to admit the truth usually leads to more confusion and emotional exhaustion. Most importantly, you'll discover six biblical principles to help you stay grounded in reality, strengthen your emotional resilience, and keep your peace—even when someone is determined to manipulate your perception of the truth. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why narcissists lie, deny, and rewrite history • How gaslighting slowly erodes your confidence • The real reason narcissists avoid accountability • What DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender) looks like in real life • How narcissists use selective memory and confabulation to manipulate others • Six practical ways to stay anchored in truth and protect your sanity • Biblical encouragement for overcoming deception and emotional manipulation • Why you don't have to accept someone else's distorted reality If you're dealing with a narcissistic spouse, parent, adult child, sibling, coworker, or friend, this episode will help you recognize destructive patterns, remain emotionally grounded, and walk in truth instead of confusion. Remember: You are not crazy. You are not alone. God sees the truth, and He is with you every step of the way. ---

Let's chat—send me a text!How do students begin to see themselves differently in mathematics?In this episode, we're continuing our Math Therapy summer book study with Chapter 6: Makeover.This chapter may be the most personal one yet. It challenged me to reflect on my own math story and reminded me that students don't simply need better grades—they need opportunities to build a healthier mathematical identity.I also share one of my favorite implementation ideas from the book: helping students create a Math-o-GRAPHy, where they graph the highs and lows of their mathematical journey and later use those graphs as authentic mathematical data.In This Episode✨ What math identity really means✨ Why rewriting our math story helps rewire our brain✨ My personal math journey—from Mathlete to math teacher✨ How teachers shape students' mathematical identities✨ The influence of media on students' beliefs about math✨ Why I interpreted Mean Girls a little differently✨ The Math Story Makeover activity✨ Using Math-o-GRAPHy to connect SEL and authentic mathematics✨ Why identity—not ability—is often what changes mostKey TakeawayStudents don't become different mathematicians because we tell them they're capable.They become different mathematicians because they accumulate evidence that they are capable.Every reflection.Every productive struggle.Every meaningful success.Every encouraging conversation.Those experiences help students rewrite their story—and ultimately rewire how they see themselves.This Week's ReflectionAsk yourself:What's your own math story?Which teachers shaped your mathematical identity?What experiences made you the teacher you are today?If your students rewrote their math autobiography in May, what would you hope had changed?Community ChallengeJoin us inside the Facebook group and share:✨ One moment from your own math story that shaped the teacher you've become.✨ One classroom experience that helps students build a healthier relationship with mathematics.Let's collect ideas that help students rewrite their stories one experience at a time.Read Along With Us
‘Monetary policy for us is one of the bigger risks that we see at the moment' – Warren Buhai, senior portfolio manager at STANLIB Asset Management.
What if the greatest obstacle standing between you and the life you're meant to live... is the story you've been telling yourself? In this deeply moving conversation, Kute Blackson sits down with Celine DeCosta, author of The Burning Ground, to explore what happens when life falls apart, not as a punishment, but as an invitation from the soul. Through heartfelt storytelling and profound spiritual insight, Celine shares how burnout, heartbreak, loss, and unexpected synchronicities became the catalysts for awakening to a life of deeper purpose, freedom, and alignment. Together, Kute and Celine unpack how our greatest wounds can become our greatest teachers, why the soul speaks in whispers while fear shouts, and how rewriting the meaning of our past has the power to transform our future. This is more than a conversation about healing. It's an invitation to trust life's unfolding, surrender what no longer serves you, and remember who you truly are beneath the stories you've carried for so long. If you've been feeling stuck, disconnected, or quietly wondering whether there's something more waiting for you, this episode may be exactly the message your soul has been waiting to hear. Timestamps (00:02:15) – The invisible story that was quietly shaping Celine's entire life (00:07:07) – What if your greatest crisis is actually your greatest awakening? (00:12:31) – The radical decision that changed the course of her life forever (00:18:06) – How to leap into the unknown without blowing up your life (00:24:33) – How to tell the difference between fear... and the voice of your soul (00:32:00) – The mysterious encounter in Indonesia that awakened her true calling (00:41:43) – Rewrite your story, reclaim your power, and discover your deepest gift (00:54:40) – A final invitation to trust the unfolding of your soul's journey Some Questions I Ask Why do some people seem unstoppable while others remain trapped in the same cycles? What finally gave you the courage to stop living the life everyone expected of you? How can someone tell the difference between the voice of the soul and the voice of fear? What happened during your journey that completely changed how you see life? How do we stop identifying with painful stories we've carried for years? What would you say to someone who knows they're meant for more, but feels too afraid to take the first step? In This Episode You'll Learn Why the story you've been telling yourself may be the very thing keeping you stuck. The surprising reason life's biggest breakdowns often become your greatest breakthroughs. How to tell the difference between fear speaking... and your soul calling. The hidden emotional addictions that quietly shape your choices and relationships. A powerful framework for transforming pain into purpose and reclaiming your authentic life. Why your greatest wound may actually hold the key to the life you were born to live. Get in Touch: Celinne da Costa https://celinnedacosta.com Create a life that is a masterpiece.

I took a bus to city hall, but I can't find the place.W:This is the concert hall, not city hall. To go there, you should take the busat Grand Hotel over there.(Text2)M:Can I help you?W: I'm looking for a size twelve dress.M:Oh, let me see. An eight, a ten. Ah, you're lucky. I have the prettiest dress here in a twelve. Why don't you try it on?(Text3)W: Do you think you can take care of everything in the office today?M: No problem. Just go home and take a rest. If there is anything I feel I cannot handle, I'll call you.(Text4)W: We have a half-day tour, a full-day tour and an evening tour. Which one would you like?M: What is the schedule of the half-day tour?W: It sets out at 8:30 a.m. and returns at 2:00 p.m.(Text5)M: Now,what seems to be the trouble, Mrs. Stevens?W: I've been very dizzy lately. And last night, I had some chest pain.M: Don't worry. Let me have a look.(Text6)W: Wow.That was a great match. I really like watching tennis games.M: Me too.

I'll go to the school hall with you to practice. Then I'll teach you an exercise my baseball coach taught me. Believe me. It works.W: I feel much better now. Thanks, Daniel.(Text9)W:Hello, ladies and gentlemen! Today, we have invited Prof. Stone to talk about the role of elderly people in our society. Welcome to our show, Prof. Stone.M: To begin with, I'd like to tell a story from my own life. Several years ago, when my grandparents were well into their 80s, they were no longer able to care for themselves very well. My grandfather was afraid of leaving the only home they had known for the past 60 years. The idea of having to sell their home and move into a retirement home was an extremely painful experience for them. Indeed, old age for them, and many old Americans can mean not only the possible failure of one's health, but the loss of identity and self-worth.W:Yes, it's true. What do you have to say about the problem of old age?M:Many experts have given talks here that have focused on the medical care, and the development of public services for senior citizens. Today, I'd like to focus my comments on the meaningful roles that elderly can play and should play in our society. (Text10)Talking about personal relationships, well, I'd naturally think of my relationship with my mother. Whenever I need help, my mother is always there for me. She often tells me that I can be anyone I want, as long as I'm confident of myself. She sees my talent and pushes me to do the best I possibly can. As I was growing up, we were often on the move. I had to admit that moving so often made me feel lonely. But my mother did everything she could to help me feel happy. In fact, so much traveling was really a good thing because it made us close. I respect my mother so much as she never treats me as a child, but as an equal. She gives me the freedom to make mistakes and to learn from them all.Unlike friendships that can fade or break, I know I'll always be connected to my mother no matter what I face. She is not just a role model, but someone I love.
I just returned from Washington, D.C., after touring the U.S. Capitol with Speaker Mike Johnson, and I walked away more convinced than ever that America's Christian heritage isn't a myth—it's written into the very fabric of our nation. From biblical artwork and Scripture throughout the Capitol to the faith that shaped our Founders, the evidence is hiding in plain sight. I'll also share why Christians must engage in this cultural moment with courage, truth, and biblical discernment instead of fear or outrage. If we want to preserve the freedoms we've been given, we have to remember the foundation they were built on.Young WashingtonSee the untold story of George Washington before he became America's first president.

Christopher Nolan's adaptation of “The Odyssey” has been drawing a lot of attention but not necessarily for good reasons.Actress Lupita Nyong'o, set to play Helen of Troy in the film, complained in an interview that Homer didn't include enough women in his play. In actuality, “The Odyssey” was one of the most pro-women works for its time period. Nolan's film has also received criticism for its controversial casting choices, including giving the role of a famed Greek warrior to transgender actor Elliot Page. Nolan's adaptation releases Friday, July 17. Only time will tell whether the film stayed true to Homer's vision.

For years, showing up online and sounding professional was enough to stand out. That's no longer true. AI made polished, competent content available to everyone in about thirty seconds, which means polished is no longer a differentiator. In a feed full of polished, polished is invisible. The one thing AI can't generate is your point of view. In this episode of Get Digital Marketing Results, we cover why having a real point of view is the thing that sets you apart now, what a point of view actually is, and how to keep yours from getting flattened by AI. What's covered: ✅ Why showing up and sounding professional used to be enough, and why that flipped ✅ What a point of view actually is, in plain terms ✅ Why "taste" is just judgment, and where it comes from ✅ The difference between handing AI the busywork and quietly handing over your voice ✅ A simple test you can run on any post, email, or page Three action steps for this week: Look at one recent post, email, or page and ask: could any business in your industry have published this? If yes, it needs more of your point of view. Rewrite one section with what you actually believe: what you recommend, what you avoid, what you wish customers understood. Next time you use AI, give it your point of view before you ask it to draft anything, then edit like the final judgment still belongs to you, because it does.

Episode Description: You have been running from yourself for a very long time. The restlessness, the worry, the relationships that keep ending the same way, the money that never feels like enough. None of that is who you actually are. It is what you learned. Danny Morel is back on Heal Thy Self for the second time, and this conversation goes deeper than the first. Danny had the picture perfect life. The money, the business, the house, the marriage, the admiration. And he was completely disconnected from himself. It took an affair, a divorce, the death of his mother, and a moment on a run reading Eckhart Tolle for everything to crack open. What came through that crack changed everything. This is that story, and the wisdom that came out of it. In this episode, you'll discover: • The difference between victim consciousness and creator consciousness, why the shift from one to the other is the thing human beings are most afraid of, and why every relationship, money problem, and health struggle you keep recreating is pointing at something inside you • How to tell the difference between true soul intuition and fear masquerading as gut feeling, and why the only way to access that distinction is through silence and direct relationship with the divine • Why your partner is a mirror, your bank account is a mirror, and why wanting to fix the reflection without doing the inner work is the single most common way people stay stuck This is the work that makes all the other work possible.

Marshall's presentation of "Wise Child," written by Sam Dann and starring Ralph Bell. Joyce and Calvin Spurlock argue their way off a turnpike into a storm near a place called Kiowa Flats, sleep the night in their stalled car, and wake to find a newborn baby lying naked on a hillside — alive, unharmed, and abandoned. Joyce insists the child is a miracle and claims him as her own, inventing a birth story to secure a certificate. Calvin Junior never grows, not an ounce, not a fraction of an inch, while doctors find him perfectly healthy. Then a newspaper report reveals that the wilderness north of Kiowa Flats had been used as a secret dumping ground for atomic waste — and Calvin begins to sense something in the air, a force, a light, a power that lets him read the minds of his boss, his sister, and his customers, reshaping his entire life around whatever entered that child during the storm.From there, Arch Oboler's "Immortal Gentleman" arrives with Edmund O'Brien and Anne Shepherd, in which a man terrified of death his entire life screams aloud in a crowded auditorium and then explains why to the woman beside him. Sitting through a political speech, he found himself displaced into a future where science has abolished death entirely — a world of young people conditioned for fifty years, filled with all human knowledge, living two hundred, three hundred, five hundred years with nothing to do because "the old ones" never die and never surrender their positions. They call him an atavus, a throwback that surfaces once in every two thousand embryos. Twenty-four of them draw lots in a darkened room, and he is handed a black box and told to throw it at a woman who has lived five thousand years.Next, William Gargan stars as Barry Craig, confidential investigator, in "Corpse On Delivery." Bail bondsman Sam Solloway hires Craig to find Joey Florio, a racketeer who jumped a fifty-thousand-dollar bond, and offers ten percent to get him back. A merchant seaman named Stacy Crocker is stabbed four separate times outside Craig's office door before he can deliver whatever he came to sell. A blonde in ballerina sweaters frisks the corpse for its papers, a rifle shot grazes Craig's skull along West Street, and monogrammed pillows in a room at the Hotel Mohansic spell out the answer in two letters.The episode continues with John Metcalfe's "Mortmain," dramatized for radio by Rebecca Wilmshurst, set in the south of England before the war. Salome Clare marries Humphrey Ramsden Child, a man obsessed with moths, boats, and his dead mother Harriet, who vows at the altar that marriage binds souls beyond death throughout eternity. At an anniversary dinner deliberately set for thirteen guests aboard his houseboat, a woman is attacked by a swarm of moths in an upstairs bathroom, and a decomposing dog is dragged from the linen closet. Humphrey is committed as criminally insane, dresses in his mother's clothing, and promises from inside a straitjacket that death shall not part them. After his death, Salome marries John Temple — and on their honeymoon, a rotting pink boat begins rising out of the water behind them.Frank Lovejoy follows as Randy Stone in "Lost Souls," walking South State Street on Chicago's Skid Row, where a woman named Ruth Martin has spent eight hundred dollars buying steaks, clean sheets, and champagne for every derelict on the block. She refuses to answer a ringing telephone. Her purse holds a hotel key and a brand-new loaded .32. Twenty years earlier, watching police drag a screaming thirty-year-old woman into a wagon, Ruth made her friend Vivian Clark promise to kill her if she ever turned out the same way. Vivian Clark died at eleven years old — and every night for three weeks, the phone has rung wherever Ruth runs, from St. Louis to Kansas City to Duluth to Chicago.Basil Rathbone then delivers a short piece from Beyond the Green Door about a magician turned bank robber who kills two guards in Croesus, Maine, and hides in an abandoned granite quarry by disguising himself as a boulder — until a truck from the Eastern Maine Gravel Corporation pulls in to set the dynamite charges. The Man in Black, starring Paul Frees, presents John Russell's South Seas story "The Price of the Head," in which Christopher Pellet, a red-whiskered drunk with a bad name in the islands, murders a bartender at Fufuti and is saved by a Bougainville native named Karaki, who steals a canoe, sails eight hundred miles, nurses him through withdrawal, kills two white men in a cutter, gives him the last of the water, and combs his red hair and whiskers twice every day.Blackstone the Magic Detective investigates "The Ghost That Wasn't" at the Weldon mansion, where Mortimer Weldon's brother Clarence accepted a dare to spend the night in the tower room and was found in the courtyard with a broken neck behind a door locked from the inside — and where a grandfather clock that has always kept excellent time is suddenly two minutes slow. Alan Ladd stars as Dan Holliday in "The Professor And The Puzzle," a Box 13 adventure in which a college crystallographer named Martin Gardner is found shot through the heart with his own gun, his niece abruptly breaks her engagement to marry her uncle's lab assistant Ed Macklin, and Macklin turns up stabbed with his own knife. Registered mail receipts and a bank book under the name Samuel Stoner lead Holliday to an office building and a case of illicit diamond cutting.Calling All Cars reaches back into the records for "The Human Bomb," the true story of Carl Weiss, who walked into police headquarters wearing a sheepskin hood, green goggles, and a soldier's campaign hat, carrying a blood-red box packed with sixty-six sticks of dynamite and holding a spring-loaded trigger that would fire the moment he let go. He demanded to see Paul Shoup, president of the Pacific Electric Railway, and threatened to level the building unless the railroad workers got a raise. Two hundred and sixty prisoners were evacuated by streetcar while Chief Sebastian stalled him, and Officer Sam Brown eventually thrust his bare hand through the glass top of the box to smother the lit fuse.The episode closes with Staats Cotsworth as Casey, Crime Photographer, in "A Tooth For a Tooth" by Charles Holden. Rewrite man Henry Brower confesses a premonition of his own death and admits that a man named Renat — no licensed dentist, but a self-described research scientist on River Road — filled his teeth for free to test a new metal. Brower vanishes that night, and Lieutenant Logan writes him off as a debtor who skipped town. Casey recognizes the shape of a Colorado cattleman's case from 1931, and a bartender's habit of spelling words backward hands him the name he needs.

You can be in a room full of people, successful, loved — and still feel completely alone. In this episode, host Cari Fund sits down with trauma-informed therapist Dr. Sylvia Kalicinski, host of The Dr. Sylvia K Show and author of the brand-new book Lonely AF: A Therapist's No BS Guide to Feeling Less Alone. Sylvia opens up about losing her mother at age two, growing up as the golden child of a narcissistic father, and the unprocessed grief she didn't recognize until adulthood. Together, she and Cari explore why emotional loneliness has nothing to do with how many people are around you, how generational trauma gets passed down through our nervous systems, and what it really takes to stop wearing the mask and come home to yourself. Sylvia also walks us through her five-step HEART method — Honor your emotions, Explore your family patterns, Acknowledge your pain points, Rewrite your narrative, and Turn within — and guides a grounding exercise you can do anywhere, anytime, for free. This is a conversation about cycle breaking, the mother wound, narcissistic family dynamics, and the freedom that comes when you finally choose your own story.
Renaissance English History Podcast: A Show About the Tudors
In 1552, England's teenage Protestant king decided that St. George, patron saint of England, had to go. Not from one town, or one church. From the statutes of the Order of the Garter itself, the most prestigious knighthood in the country, the one his grandfather had endowed with a jewel-encrusted gold statue and his father had basically built his entire personal brand around. The manuscript still exists. Edward VI's own handwriting is in the margins, correcting his chief minister's draft. He was fifteen. This is the story of a boy king who believed he was saving souls by rewriting a 200-year-old institution, the nine days that upended everything after his death, and a queen who found the evidence and ordered it sponged from the historical record so thoroughly that "no memorial might be transmitted to posterity."

Reconnection after losing a spouse starts with one overlooked truth — and most men who lost their wives have never heard it. Research from the Gottman Institute found that couples who stay emotionally connected don't have fewer problems. They simply turn toward each other more often in the small moments. A comment noticed. A question asked. A moment of reaching out that gets met instead of missed. Ezra doesn't need a grand gesture to begin rebuilding his life. He needs a bid. A small, honest reach toward something that matters — his own purpose, his own presence, a conversation he's been avoiding. In this episode, Ron "Simplified" Myers walks through what reconnection actually looks like for a man in the Rewrite season — not with a partner, but with himself, with his life, and with the future he hasn't given himself permission to want yet. The bids are still there. Small ones. Daily ones. This episode is about learning to see them — and choosing to make them.

ValuationPodcast.com - A podcast about all things Business + Valuation.
Hi, welcome back to the Valuation Podcast. I'm Melissa Gragg, and today we're diving into a topic that impacts nearly every aspect of our lives but is rarely discussed openly—our relationship with money.Whether you're navigating divorce, grieving the loss of a spouse, rebuilding after a major life transition, or simply feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, the truth is that money is never just about dollars and cents. It's tied to our identity, our beliefs, our upbringing, and often our deepest fears.Joining me today is Dr. Erika Rasher, Chief Financial Wellness Advisor at Beyond Finance and a recognized expert in financial therapy. Together, we're exploring how money stories, financial shame, inherited beliefs, and emotional spending habits shape our financial decisions—and more importantly, how we can rewrite those stories.We'll discuss financial trauma, scarcity versus abundance mindsets, financial coercive control, confidence after divorce, emotional healing, manifestation, and practical ways to create a healthier relationship with money. If you've ever wondered why financial decisions feel so emotional or how to build a stronger financial future after a major life change, this conversation is for you.Key Takeaways:1. Your Money Story Wasn't Created in IsolationMany financial behaviors originate from childhood experiences, family beliefs, cultural influences, and generational patterns. Understanding these inherited money stories is the first step toward creating a healthier financial future.2. Financial Shame Keeps People StuckGuilt says, "I made a mistake." Shame says, "I am the mistake." Dr. Rasher explains how financial shame can prevent people from seeking help, making informed decisions, and moving forward after financial setbacks.3. Major Life Transitions Create Financial Identity CrisesDivorce, widowhood, career changes, and retirement don't just change finances—they change identity. Rebuilding financial confidence requires addressing both the practical and emotional sides of money.4. Abundance Begins Before Wealth ArrivesPeople who constantly postpone happiness until they reach a financial goal often continue feeling scarcity even after achieving it. Learning to recognize everyday "glimmers" of abundance helps shift mindset and create lasting financial confidence.5. Financial Healing Requires Both Strategy and SupportFinancial recovery isn't just about budgeting, investing, or paying off debt. It also involves emotional healing, self-awareness, and surrounding yourself with professionals who can guide you through significant life transitions.Q&As from episode:1. What is financial therapy and how does it help people?Financial therapy combines financial planning with emotional and behavioral support. It helps people understand how beliefs, experiences, family influences, and emotions affect their financial decisions. Financial therapists help clients improve their relationship with money, reduce financial stress, and make healthier financial choices.2. How does divorce affect your relationship with money?Divorce often creates a major shift in financial identity. Many people experience financial anxiety, loss of confidence, money shame, or uncertainty about managing finances independently. Rebuilding financial confidence after divorce requires both practical financial planning and emotional healing.3. What is a scarcity mindset around money?A scarcity mindset is the belief that there will never be enough money, resources, or opportunities. People with a scarcity mindset often experience financial anxiety, fear-based decision-making, excessive saving, overspending, or difficulty enjoying financial success, regardless of their actual income or net worth.4. Why do people struggle with money even when they earn a high income?High-income earners often face financial challenges because income alone does not eliminate emotional spending, financial conditioning, social pressure, or money-related fears. Without healthy financial habits and emotional awareness, even high earners can accumulate debt and experience financial stress.5. How can someone create a more abundant money mindset?Developing an abundant money mindset starts with recognizing existing sources of abundance, practicing gratitude, identifying positive financial "glimmers," challenging limiting beliefs, and focusing on opportunities instead of scarcity. Consistent awareness and intentional action help create a healthier and more confident relationship with money.Dr. Erika Rasurehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/erikarasure/ericarashrasher@gmail.com Melissa Gragghttps://www.valuationmediation.com/https://www.youtube.com/@BusinessValuationStLSupport the show

Send us Fan MailThere's a practice Neville Goddard taught that most people gloss over — and it's the one that actually changes things at the root. Not affirmations. Not vision boards. Not pushing through resistance. Revision.Revision is the practice of going back to the experiences — the conversations, the failures, the moments where something painful crystallized into a belief — and rewriting them. Not pretending they didn't happen. Rewriting what they mean. And in doing so, shifting the assumption that has been quietly shaping your present life ever since.In this episode, we go deep into why revision works, how the Law of Assumption connects to your daily patterns, and exactly how to do the practice tonight — step by step, in Neville's own tradition.✦ Why your patterns are not character flaws — they're the output of an old assumption ✦ How Neville Goddard's revision practice shifts the consciousness beneath the pattern ✦ The exact steps to do revision in the state akin to sleep ✦ Why the past is never as fixed as it feels — and how to use that ✦ A one-night practice you can try before you go to sleep tonight
The most powerful person in the world repeatedly creates his own narrative about a news event despite what we can see and hear with our own eyes and our own ears. Media organizations that don't fight like hell in response are failing at doing their most basic job—and they're failing the country and our democracy as well. That's what CBS News did when it settled Trump's frivolous “60 Minutes” lawsuit and when it tried to change the story of the Minneapolis protests to benefit Trump. Plus, Dems are on the cusp of a big fight, the Iran war is being fought on social media and on the weekend, aiming to live a life of value and meaning, Ossoff is deploying a clever strategy, and why isn't the left talking about climate change?

Send us Fan MailHow do you bring up something difficult at work without sounding confrontational, defensive, or like you are picking a fight?That is the challenge many women leaders face when they need to address a peer, manager, team member, or stakeholder about something that is not working. For example:Maybe it is a peer who keeps interrupting you in meetings.Maybe it is a manager who keeps changing priorities without explaining why.Maybe it is a team member who is missing deadlines, and you are not sure whether it is a workload issue or something else.You know the conversation matters, but every opening line you draft sounds too sharp, too heavy, or too risky.In this Monday Momentum episode of Communicate to Lead, Kele Belton closes out the five-part June series on the difficult conversations women leaders walk into, braced for a fight. This final episode reveals why a positioned statement often triggers the defensiveness you were trying to avoid, and how leading with a genuine question changes what the other person is willing to think, share, and resolve with you.What You'll LearnWhy building a case before a hard conversation often backfires.The difference between a positioned statement and a genuine question.A practical opening question you can use the next time you need to address something difficult at work.How to open a conversation in a way that lowers defensiveness and increases the chance of a productive response.Who This Is ForThis episode is for women leaders, managers, and high-performing professionals who want to handle hard conversations at work with more confidence, clarity, and executive presence.Your Action StepThink of one conversation you have been putting off. Rewrite your opening sentence as a genuine question instead of a statement. Then have the conversation this week and notice what you learn that you would not have heard if you had led with your position.The Full June SeriesThis episode closes out a five-part series on reframing the difficult conversations women leaders walk into, braced for a fight.

Paste it into your preferred AI assistant and answer the questions as they come.I'm a [role] in [industry]. I need to address something with my [peer, manager, team member, stakeholder]. Help me prepare a genuine opening question that invites the other person to share their perspective before I share mine.Ask me 3 questions:What have I observed, when did it happen, and why does it matter?What assumption am I making about what was going on for the other person?What would I genuinely want to learn before I decide how to respond?Then write:One genuine question I can use to open the conversation that invites the other person to share their perspective before I share mine.Constraints:Forward-facing toneNo language that signals confrontation, judgment, or a hidden agendaThe question must be genuinely curious, not a setup for a statement I'm planning to makeMust carry the same weight as “Help me understand what was happening when X came up. I want to make sure I'm reading it right.”Must sound like a leader who is genuinely open to learning something new, not someone who has already decided what happenedAvoid softening language like “just,” “a little,” “maybe,” “I was thinking,” “I wanted to mention,” or “I'm sorry”Must invite a real answer, not a yes-or-no reactionExample output style:“Help me understand what was happening when X came up. I want to make sure I'm reading it right.”Common Questions About Hard Conversations at Work1. How do I start a hard conversation at work without sounding confrontational?Start with a genuine question instead of a positioned statement. A real question lowers defensiveness and makes it easier for the other person to share useful information.2. What should I say when I need to address a problem with a coworker or manager?Lead with curiosity about what happened, not certainty about your interpretation. That keeps the conversation open and gives you more information before you decide how to respond.3. Why do hard conversations go badly so quickly?They often go sideways because the opening sounds like a case, a judgment, or a conclusion instead of an invitation to think together.Ready to Go Deeper?If the conversation you are facing carries career risk, or you want help thinking through your specific situation, book a complimentary Leadership Strategy Call with Kele. You will talk through where you are, where you want to go, and what it will take to get there.About Your HostKele Belton is a communication and leadership trainer who specializes in helping women leaders develop confidence and impact through strategic communication and practical leadership frameworks.Connect with KeleLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kele-ruth-belton/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetailoredapproach/Website: https://thetailoredapproach.com/

Read the full transcript here. What changes when we stop imagining transformation as a single breakthrough and start seeing it as thousands of small, low-resistance actions? How do we know whether a small action is genuinely sustainable or merely another form of self-improvement theater? What makes one habit a keystone habit for one person but irrelevant or even counterproductive for another? How can someone choose a direction for change when modern life constantly offers competing prescriptions for what a better self should look like? Why are the boring, repetitive, off-camera moments of change so much harder to honor than the dramatic moment of decision? What would recovery, habit formation, or personal growth look like if relapse and failure were treated as learning signals rather than moral verdicts? When does counting streaks reinforce commitment, and when does it turn a broken streak into a reason to abandon the whole project? How should we think about behaviors like social media use when they resemble addiction in loss of control but differ radically in risk, stigma, and physiology? What does addiction reveal about the way pain, relief, shame, and repetition can form a closed loop? Why might the same addictive mechanism be easier to recognize in a socially condemned drug habit than in a socially acceptable pattern of drinking, working, scrolling, or consuming?

From Radio Promotions to Award-Winning Documentaries: Scott Randolph's Resilience, Networking & StorytellingHost John Duffin interviews Scott Randolph, founder of Arrival Video Productions LLC, about his 15-year radio career in Philadelphia and how it led to television, cable production, documentary filmmaking, public speaking, and storytelling. Scott recounts landing his first promotions job at Eagle 106, earning trust through reliability and integrity, and surviving multiple station overhauls by maintaining a positive attitude and resilience. He explains how lessons from less successful sales roles, combined with extensive networking, helped him transition into Comcast's Newsmakers crew and grow from teleprompter and graphics to assistant director and director. Scott discusses his creative approach of matching music to imagery, founding Arrival Video in 2006, and producing The Battle of Crooked Billet, a Revolutionary War documentary with reenactors and dialogue that evolved into a docudrama feel, now being negotiated with several streaming networks. He also shares his love of history, public speaking for 55+ communities, and how to book him via ghoststoursofnewhope.com.00:00 Radio Roots and Big Leap00:53 Podcast Welcome and Guest Intro03:04 Hatboro Connection and Memories04:30 Landing Eagle 106 Fast08:30 Hershey Trip Integrity Moment13:16 Resilience Through Station Shakeups16:55 Skills Across Media and Sales Lessons21:17 Networking Into Newsmakers Crew23:45 Assistant Director Responsibilities26:30 Finding Creative Voice in Editing29:35 Crooked Billet Documentary Origins31:50 Docudrama Shift and Streaming Talks34:15 Spy Scene Surprise35:46 Editing Room Magic36:08 Recut After A Decade37:49 Crooked Billet Connections41:36 History Bug Origins42:55 Revolution Over Civil War44:55 Performing 1776 As A Kid47:24 Speaking At 55 Plus49:58 Emotional Connection Live53:22 Theater Roots And Role Models53:58 Mom The Creative Force59:28 Never Let Age Define You01:01:38 Where To Find Scott01:02:40 Final Thanks And Wrap

Why do high-conflict people completely rewrite the story after you leave the relationship? In this video, I break down exactly what happens when you walk away from someone with narcissistic or high-conflict traits — and why they feel the need to distort the truth, launch smear campaigns, and turn everyone against you.After you leave, they don't just miss you — they panic. Without you to blame, they have to create a whole new version of reality where they're the hero and you're the villain. This isn't about truth. It's about control, ego, and avoiding accountability at all costs.In this video, you'll learn:→ Why high-conflict people rewrite history after you leave→ The psychology behind smear campaigns and "flying monkeys"→ How narcissists use gaslighting to make you question your own reality→ What happens when they lose control of the narrative→ How to protect yourself while they spread lies about you→ Why staying silent and documenting everything is your best defense→ When and how to walk away for good — without looking backWhether you're dealing with a narcissistic ex, a high-conflict co-parent, or someone with borderline or antisocial traits, this video will give you the clarity you need to understand what's really happening — and how to stay strong through it.Connect with Lee:My Courses: https://courses.mentalhealness.net 1-on-1 Coaching Calls: https://link.me/mentalhealnessAll My Link: https://beacons.page/mentalhealness Follow on Instagram/TikTok: @mentalhealnesss
