What happened to Gloria? Now that I've had over 9 months to process, I finally address the elephant in the room of why I disappeared for 6 months last year, and how it triggered a spiritual awakening that allowed me to "create" anything, instantly... with just my mind. Please bear with me as I struggle to vocalize a truth I've been keeping a secret. All the "unrelated" truths of the world are coming to light and connecting: From elite pedophile trafficking rings, to spiritual phenomenons, and now Inner Child Healing.UPCOMING FREE HEALING SESSIONS

On this Monday education session of Wealth Coffee Chats, we tackle one of the biggest fears in property investing: “What if I lose my home?”For many homeowners, the idea of using equity to invest feels risky. More debt. More interest. Longer loan terms. Rising rates. It can feel like you're moving backwards instead of building wealth.But what if the issue isn't using equity — it's how you structure it?In this episode, we break down:Why fear stops people from accessing their home equityThe common mistakes that make investing feel unsafeWhat cross-collateralisation is — and why it can put your home at riskHow the “all-monies clause” can limit your flexibilityWhy using one bank for everything isn't always the safest optionHow to structure loans across separate lenders to protect your assetsHow equity is calculated (80% LVR explained simply)A real-world scenario showing how growth can help recycle equityHow to create flexibility and control while protecting your homeWe walk through a practical example of releasing equity correctly, building a “brick wall” between properties, and setting up a structure that allows growth to eventually pay down non-deductible debt.The key takeaway?It's not about taking on reckless risk. It's about structuring smartly, protecting your home, and creating flexibility for the future.If you've ever worried that using equity means gambling your family home, this episode will help demystify the strategy and show you how it can be done safely and effectively.As always, if you'd like to explore how this applies to your own situation, reach out to the advisory team for a personalised discussion.Have a great week ahead!

Do you ever worry your parents are making bad money decisions… or heading toward retirement totally unprepared? This week’s Friday Drinks starts with the situation where you love your parents, they’re adults, and you’re still lying awake wondering whether someone is taking them for a ride. We talk about how to raise money concerns without lecturing or burying your head in the sand.

Then there ain't no drama like a wedding money drama, and this one is no ecception. A bridal party agreed to pay for $1k for hens and bucks accommodation, and now the story is we can’t afford to pay you back. We get into where responsibility sits, how resentment builds when you absorb costs you didn’t agree to carry, and when being “understanding” just means being out of pocket.

Chuck Todd sounds the alarm on how Trump’s aggressive use of tariffs and economic coercion could unintentionally push the U.S. and the world toward open conflict, drawing stark parallels to the Smoot-Hawley tariffs and the dangerous bloc-based thinking that preceded World War II. As Trump threatens NATO unity, wages economic war with Europe, and even uses tariffs as leverage in a pressure campaign over Greenland, the result isn’t strength but instability—risking retaliation, potentially weakening the dollar’s reserve status, and handing strategic advantages to China and Russia. Chuck argues that while Trump may not be trying to start a war, his isolationist instincts, economic bullying, and disregard for democratic norms are dismantling the postwar order America built and benefited from, creating a far more dangerous world. The episode also turns inward, examining Trump’s endorsement politics and fixation on retribution, even at the cost of GOP viability, as Senate Republicans quietly weigh whether stopping this madness—or walking away—is their last remaining option. Mechele Dickerson, professor at the University of Texas School of Law & author of the new book “The Middle Class New Deal” joins Chuck Todd to make the case that rebuilding the American middle class requires something bold and familiar. Drawing on history, Dickerson explains how the original New Deal didn’t just regulate markets but actively created the first stable American middle class, a reminder that free markets alone don’t guarantee broad prosperity. As today’s economy shifts risk onto workers through independent contracting, weakened unions, and employer-based benefits that no longer fit modern labor markets, she argues that financial security—not wealth—is what most Americans are actually chasing, and it’s essential for economic and democratic stability. The conversation digs into healthcare, education, and labor power as the pillars of a functioning middle class, from why employer-based health insurance is a historical accident to how government-guaranteed healthcare could actually relieve businesses, and why underused public schools and outdated calendars are weakening the future workforce. Dickerson warns that the erosion of unions, the weaponization of cultural divisions, and rising economic nihilism—especially among younger Americans—mirror dangerous Gilded Age dynamics, where extreme inequality hollowed out democracy. The takeaway is stark but hopeful: upward mobility is deeply American, but without intentional policy choices that put workers and families first, an eroding middle class can become fertile ground for political instability and authoritarianism. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the evolving public perception of Muhammed Ali, answers listeners’ questions in the Ask Chuck segment and preview the college football national championship between Indiana and his beloved Miami Hurricanes.

Chuck Todd sounds the alarm on how Trump’s aggressive use of tariffs and economic coercion could unintentionally push the U.S. and the world toward open conflict, drawing stark parallels to the Smoot-Hawley tariffs and the dangerous bloc-based thinking that preceded World War II. As Trump threatens NATO unity, wages economic war with Europe, and even uses tariffs as leverage in a pressure campaign over Greenland, the result isn’t strength but instability—risking retaliation, potentially weakening the dollar’s reserve status, and handing strategic advantages to China and Russia. Chuck argues that while Trump may not be trying to start a war, his isolationist instincts, economic bullying, and disregard for democratic norms are dismantling the postwar order America built and benefited from, creating a far more dangerous world. The episode also turns inward, examining Trump’s endorsement politics and fixation on retribution, even at the cost of GOP viability, as Senate Republicans quietly weigh whether stopping this madness—or walking away—is their last remaining option. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the evolving public perception of Muhammed Ali, answers listeners’ questions in the Ask Chuck segment and preview the college football national championship between Indiana and his beloved Miami Hurricanes.

RISKING IT ALL TO DOCK DRAGON WITH THE ISS Colleague Eric Berger. To fund its Mars ambitions, SpaceX needed NASA contracts to deliver cargo to the International Space Station (ISS) using the Dragon spacecraft. Unlike traditional capsules, Dragon integrated propulsion directly into the vehicle to support future reusability. Behind schedule, SpaceX combined two test missions (C2 and C3) into one high-stakes attempt. During the approach, the spacecraft's LIDAR navigation system faltered, forcing NASA flight director Holly Ridings to make a "brave call": she allowed SpaceX to rewrite software on the fly, defying standard mission rules to achieve a successful docking.

You'll learn why cutting corners might feel easier in the short term but ends up being costly in the long run. Paulina also explains how a virtual compliance model can unlock real profits, why standard operating procedures (SOPs) are key to safe scaling, and how private equity firms view compliance during acquisitions.If you're growing a practice or planning an exit, this episode is a must-listen. Don't just scale fast, scale smart and safe.
In this Christmas episode, Jeff and Bill have a conversation about incarnation. That's a ten-cent word that points to the mystery of the ineffable taking flesh. If Christmas reveals that God loves us by sending love in the birth of the child Jesus, this signals that our love must take tangible form. Yet, there's a risk, right? Whenever we love, there is the risk that it won't be received. And jazz musicians know all about taking risks! Give this one a listen. Merry Christmas, everybody.Music: “I Wonder When I Wander” and “He is Born” from Jazz Noel, Bill Carter and the Presbybop Christmas Eve Band.

It's difficult, or even impossible, to conceive how good can come out of accidents or disasters. We hear the verse that Pastor Ricky quoted and wonder how that can even be. It's difficult, or even impossible, to conceive how good can come out of accidents or disasters. We hear the verse that Pastor Ricky quoted and wonder how that can even be. Surely the Israelites in exile asked themselves what good would come from their situation as well. Pastor Ricky will be sharing from the book of Esther, and other scriptures, teaching us about the sovereign will of God. He'll be teaching us how God with His ability to see the end from the beginning orchestrates events for our benefit.
Throughout the Old Testament, we see where God's people turned to foreign idols and God has to discipline them to bring them back to Himself. We in the New Testament era like to think that because we have chosen to follow Jesus, we don't have those kinds of problems. Not true. We can at times put things like money or jobs ahead of our relationship with God. Pastor Ricky will be teaching on the disastrous result of Israel's turning away from God and His faithfulness to them nevertheless.
The Burden of Escalation After Invasion: Colleague Elbridge Colby argues that if denial defense succeeds, the burden of escalation shifts to China, forcing it to choose between retreating or risking nuclear war; however, if defense fails, the coalition faces the daunting challenge of generating the political resolve necessary to counterattack and reverse a Chinese occupation. 1903 QING DYNASTY

Murph continues talking with Anthony Dyer, former USAF Combat Special Missions Aviator and author of the gripping memoir, “Moon Child: The Roots and Wings of a USAF Combat Special Missions Aviator.” Anthony reveals the philosophy that shaped his life in the aircraft and beyond—what he calls “house money life.” Just like playing with the casino's money, this mindset frees you to take bold risks, push past fear, and build a legacy worth leaving behind. For combat aviators, these decisions aren't theoretical—they're life or death.
A piano recital, public speaking, jumping off the high dive at a pool. Do these things make you think of sweaty palms and butterfly stomachs? We all have to take risks sometimes. But Jesus took the greatest risk of all.

How to Trade Stocks and Options Podcast by 10minutestocktrader.com
Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.If you've ever looked at a chart and wondered why some traders always seem to catch the big move while everyone else gets stuck holding the bag, this video is going to open your eyes. We dig into one of the most powerful concepts in trading: understanding the market cycle, spotting trend changes early, and knowing when to simply step aside instead of letting hope drain your account.We jump into the story of Zoom, one of the wildest pandemic-era rockets. It blasted over 550 percent in just 36 weeks, then slowly sank back to where it started. Watching that entire run unfold is like watching trader psychology under a microscope. Greed, denial, fear, capitulation, and finally acceptance. The video breaks down every stage and shows why buying a “great company” doesn't help if the chart is falling apart beneath you.The conversation gets into why the ten over twenty and price over fifty signals matter so much. They aren't meant to predict. They're meant to tell you the direction of the trend right now, which is the only information that actually matters. This approach is simple, clean, and brutally effective compared to buy and hold on individual names. It doesn't require guessing. It requires paying attention.Right in the middle of the lesson, a few key ideas pop up that every trader should hear:✅ Why being “right” or “wrong” has nothing to do with good trading✅ Why the public always buys too late and sells too late✅ Why opportunity cost destroys long term portfolios quietly✅ Why unlimited freedom in trading leads people straight into disaster✅ Why a rules based plan beats predictions every timeThere's also a section on the Bank of America chart that is honestly shocking. The stock took nearly twenty years to get back to break even after its big collapse. Meanwhile, following simple trend rules would have doubled an account several times using the exact same stock. Same ticker, completely different outcomes. That's the power of ignoring opinions and following price instead.The video also dives into stop losses, position sizing, and the difference between risking 100 percent with no exit plan versus risking 10 percent with a clear line in the sand. When the return on risk numbers are compared side by side, the gap is massive. Risking one dollar to make thirty six is a completely different universe than risking one dollar to lose sixty six cents.And yes, the psychology breakdown hits hard too. Most traders blow up because they think they need to be right. In reality, the only thing that matters is whether you followed your plan. A losing trade can be a great trade if it followed your rules. A winning trade can be a terrible trade if it didn't.If you want a simple, repeatable approach that gives you clarity around when to buy, when to sell, and when to get out of the way, this video is a must watch. It's all about reading what the market is actually doing instead of begging it to do what you want.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.

In this episode, Regent grad and spiritual director Carolyn Watts shares about her life and learnings from serving as an obstetrician in Afghanistan until a debilitating chronic illness (POTS) ended her medical career. Reflecting on her memoir, Risking Rest, Carolyn shares how her obstetrical training gave her images for interpreting God's intimate care for us, as well as His invitations to us to rest from our labours. Carolyn also shares about the gifts of singleness, trusting God in challenging circumstances, and living a restful life with God amid pressures, demands and personal limitations. Throughout the conversation, she conveys God's gentleness and loving kindness, which continues to meet her in her limits, enabling her to relinquish her drivenness.Carolyn's BioCarolyn Watts is an obstetrician, author, and spiritual director. She completed an MATS at Regent College, where she began working on Risking Rest: Embracing God's Love Through Life's Uncertainties. In her memoir, she shares her experience of living and working in Afghanistan, and her journey with chronic illness that prevented her from continuing to practice medicine, but led her deeper into the heart of God.

Reged Ahmad speaks with Queensland correspondent Ben Smee and state reporter Andrew Messenger about whether Queensland's ban on puberty blockers is ideologically driven You can support the Guardian at theguardian.com/fullstorysupport

HEADLINE: China's Desperate Rare Earth Export Curbs and Economic Collapse GUEST NAMES: Alan Tonelson, Gordon Chang SUMMARY: China's sweeping curbs on rare earth exports are described as a desperate "hail mary" heave, risking severe economic damage, particularly given the collapse of its property bubble and external pressures. Experts agree China is undergoing a major deflationary spiral, and this move ironically contradicts the globalization from which it prospered. 1960
