Some hauntings chase you through the dark. Others crawl right into your room. First, we head to Edison, New Jersey — home to one of the state's most infamous legends: Jake's Branch Road, an abandoned Nike missile base turned ghost town. When a group of friends decided to explore its decaying homes and eerie playground, they found far more than graffiti and cold air. And when the doors began slamming shut—trapping five grown men inside—they realized something was alive in that place… something that didn't want them to leave. Another listener recounts a horrifying episode of sleep paralysis—one that took on a terrifyingly personal form. As she lay frozen in bed, the figure of someone she knew began crawling toward her, fingernails clicking, hair hiding her face. Unable to move or scream, she could only watch as the air thickened with dread and darkness. From the haunted backroads of New Jersey to the quiet horror of a bedroom at Christmas, this episode proves one truth: when the paranormal comes calling, it doesn't always knock—it sometimes crawls. #trueghoststory #realghoststoriesonline #hauntedhouse #paranormalactivity #ghostencounters #realhaunting #sleepparalysis #newjerseyhaunting #supernatural #satanicritual #hauntedroad Love real ghost stories?

What if you could stop running on empty—and still perform at your best? That's the question Erin Coupe, author of "I Can Fit That In" (and host of a podcast by the same name), invites leaders to ask. She challenges the old "time management" mindset that rewards burnout and box-checking, replacing it with a human-centered strategy of presence, choice, and renewal. Her message? Productivity doesn't come from cramming more into your day—it comes from creating rituals that restore you. Erin works with executives and teams to help them shift from survival mode to sustainable performance. Through keynotes, workshops, and cohort-based learning, she guides people to design their own energizing rituals—intentional practices that bring clarity, calm, and connection. It's not about doing more. It's about aligning what you do with what truly matters. Her approach transforms corporate cultures. Teams that once ran on autopilot begin building trust, transparency, and shared language. Leaders rediscover focus and resilience. And when people take these lessons home—teaching them to spouses, partners, and even kids—the impact multiplies. As Peter Winick explores in this episode of Leveraging Thought Leadership, Erin's work goes beyond productivity hacks or quick fixes. It's about conscious leadership. Healthy boundaries. Self-respect. And recognizing that how we show up—at work and at home—is a choice. Tune in to hear how organizations are embracing her frameworks to create more intentional, energized, and emotionally intelligent workplaces—one ritual at a time. Three Key Takeaways: • Rituals energize, routines drain. Intentional rituals create meaning and renewal, while rigid routines often lead to burnout. • Mindset drives performance. Shifting from overcommitment to presence and self-respect builds clarity and sustainable success. • Culture grows through connection. Shared rituals and language strengthen trust, resilience, and emotional intelligence within teams. Loved Erin Coupe's insights on transforming burnout into clarity through intentional rituals? Then don't miss our conversation with Dre Baldwin on Think Big, Act Bigger. Both episodes explore how mindset shapes sustainable performance—Erin focuses on the inner rituals that ground us, while Dre breaks down the mental systems that drive consistent action. Together, they form a one-two punch for leaders who want to perform at a high level without losing themselves in the process.

Today's episode weaves together two different threads: how we can eat meat more sustainably (and joyfully) and how we can live in a way that feels more sustainable to our nervous systems.Nicki is joined by butcher-turned-writer Steve Sabicer, creator of the newsletter Enlightened Omnivore. Steve shares his winding path from PBS-obsessed latchkey kid to running an artisanal whole-animal butcher shop, and what he's learned about sourcing and cooking meat in ways that support both flavor and the planet.They explore what “better meat” actually means in practice, the truth about grass-finished and pasture-raised systems, how regenerative agriculture can help rebuild soil, and simple, budget-friendly ways to reduce food waste at home.The conversation then shifts to sustainability in life as well as in food. Steve explains how he uses the Indigenous Medicine Wheel as a compass for balance—mind, body, spirit, and heart—and shares the small, seasonal rituals his family practices throughout the year.LINKS AND RESOURCES * Mind, Body, Spirit, FOOD Newsletter: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/* Pre-Order Nicki's new book: https://fromscratchfast.com/nicki-sizemore/* Find Nicki on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nickisizemore* Steve's newsletter, Enlightened Omnivore: https://enlightenedomnivore.substack.com/* One Bowl French Green Salad: https://fromscratchfast.com/quick-green-salad/* My podcast conversation with Liz Carlisle: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/p/regenerative-farming-climate-change* Marbled Meat Shop: https://marbledmeatshop.com/* Georgia regenerative farmer Will Harris: https://whiteoakpastures.com/pages/our-team* Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America's Food Industry, by Austin Frerick: https://bookshop.org/a/114665/9781642834444* Steve's Medicine Wheel Newsletter* The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom, by Don Miguel Ruiz: https://bookshop.org/a/114665/9781878424310* The Medicine Bag: Shamanic Rituals & Ceremonies for Personal Transformation, by Don Miguel Ruiz: https://bookshop.org/a/114665/9781938289873 This is a public episode.

In this episode, I take some inspiration from my brand new book of mundane magic rituals, A Witch at Home! In preparation for cozy season, I discuss an important ritual that's become a part of my lifestyle - regular audits of the pantry, freezer, and fridge! I discuss how this relates to magic and energetics, and how using what we have (whether it's that can of beans at the back of the pantry, or the soup at the back of the freezer, or the half-done lipstick in our makeup bag) can connect us deeply to the energy of gratitude and abundance. Yes, it's everyday stuff - but trust me, when we notice magic in the every day, our life can drastically change for the better.-Secrets of a Witch is a podcast by writer, artist, and spiritual teacher Sabrina Scott. She's been a practicing witch and medium for more than 25 years, and in this casual, mellow show she shares her secrets and musings about how to overcome pain and live a happy, magical life. She is the author of five books: Witchbody; Curse and Cure: Magic for Real Life; Rapeseed: Poetry and Writing About Life After Rape; Bodymagic: A Graphic Novel About Witchcraft, Trauma, and Healing; and A Witch at Home: 18 Rituals for Life, Love, and Healing.

In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson interviews Sam, an entrepreneur and leader of Nashville's Entrepreneur Center. Sam shares his unconventional journey from studying history to hotel management, nonprofit work, and founding multiple businesses. He emphasizes the importance of hospitality, community, and authentic relationships in business, drawing lessons from both corporate and local experiences. Sam talks about how important community and connection is to success. For him, success is directly related to the depth of the community. People just want a place to belong and it is crucial for businesses to thrive when they have other people or other businesses supporting them. Whether it's through networking or partnerships, building connections and maintaining a community of support will make or break success. Sam provides some advice to listeners about building better client relationships. One way is getting to know other client businesses. Once you get to know other clients, their business and what is important to them, you are able to understand them and their work, which can help build trust. Relatability is important in the legal space and it can really help build that bridge between clients and can create great relationships over time.Listen in to learn more!5:19 Lessons from Hospitality9:06 Community and Belonging in Business12:20 Corporate vs. Local Business Culture16:52 Consistency and Service in Hospitality17:38 Practical Tips for Client Communication25:11 Building Community: Safety, Growth, and Meaning26:46 Rituals for Team and Customer Bonding45:28 Product-Market Fit and Customer Discovery51:06 Bad Business Advice to Avoid53:37 Finding and Working with Co-Founders57:33 First Hires and Building a Team 1:02:02 Best Advice for New Law Firm OwnersTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

On this episode of The Metal Maniacs Podcast, hosts Jay Ingersoll and Modd sit down via Zoom with one of the Midwest's most terrifyingly powerful death metal forces — CASKET ROBBERY! Hailing from Madison, Wisconsin, this band has carved out a bloody niche in modern metal by blending crushing grooves, eerie melodies, and horror-inspired atmosphere into a sound that's unmistakably their own.We dig deep into the dark roots and evolution of the band, from their humble beginnings in 2011 with founding guitarist Cory Scheider (ex-Luna Mortis, Epicurean), to the arrival of their ferocious vocalist Megan Orvold-Scheider, whose commanding voice and intense stage presence have become synonymous with Casket Robbery's brand of death metal destruction. We cover everything from the inception of the band and the origin of their name, to their writing process, tone crafting, production methods, and the bloody live shows that leave fans both terrified and exhilarated. Casket Robbery's story is one of dedication, evolution, and sheer brutality — with a wink and a scream.

In this episode of Right On Radio the host opens with the weekly "Word on Word" scripture segment before diving into a wide-ranging, provocative roundup of the week's biggest happenings. Topics include the White House imagery around President Trump, biblical and Revelation-themed connections to Apollo/Apollyon, and an exploration of recent high-profile deaths and political moves that the host links to 9/11 symbolism. The show examines a string of curious news items: the death of former Vice President Dick Cheney, reports about John Brennan, the election of New York's first Muslim mayor (referred to as Mondami in the episode), and a UPS plane crash at Muhammad Ali International Airport. The host highlights striking numerology — notably the repeated appearance of the numbers 2,976 and 2,977 — and points to apparent coincidences between flight numbers, dates and historical events. Clips and guest soundbites are played and discussed, including a forceful clip from "Miller," reporting from Steve Baker about the January 6 pipe-bombing footage, and an interview excerpt with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Ozempic and pharmaceutical lobbying. The conversation covers Dan Scavino's social posts, Q-references and archived posts from 2017, Matt Gaetz's imagery, and claims about pardons and prosecutions that are circulating in conservative media. The host lays out two possible scenarios for how current tensions might unfold: either rapid, sweeping arrests and exposure of alleged deep-state actors, or a drawn-out period of civil unrest leading into 2026–2027 and the invocation of emergency powers. Discussion also touches on Presidential Emergency Action Documents (PEADs), fears about government continuity, and the geopolitical implications of tariffs and sovereignty rhetoric. Other segments include a critique of Ozempic and its reported side effects (presented through Bobby Kennedy Jr.'s interview), commentary on Canada's constitutional ties to the monarchy, reflections on Zionism and biblical prophecy, and a closing call to community — prayer meetings, Bible study times and thanks to listeners and supporters. The episode blends spiritual reading, political commentary, source clips and speculative interpretation to tell listeners what to watch for in the coming weeks.

Welcome back to The Nikki & Brie Show! In this episode, the twins dive into the sweet details of their Halloween. They recap trick-or-treating chaos—from the annual parental hustle of getting the kids into costumes to next-level neighborhood Halloween setups (popcorn machines, Dodger games, and wine tables?!). Brie shares some thoughtful tips on how to discard old costumes and pumpkins in eco-friendly ways, and reflects on the bittersweet sendoff to her season as Buddy's soccer coach.Nikki opens up about her latest Monday Night RAW match alongside Stephanie Vaquer and the momentum of her WWE comeback. With the Bella Army out in full force and her intensity on the rise (thanks to some coaching from Bryan!), she's more fired up than ever, even if after a in-ring defeat. The twins also share their go-to post-match rituals. Hint: they involve tiger balm, hotel room service, and sometimes wine in the shower. Priorities, of course.Then it's time for “Hold the L”, a hilarious new game where seemingly perfect scenarios take a wild turn and the twins have to decide whether to take the loss or walk away with their pride intact. It's petty, playful, and will make you bust out laughing. Brie drops a quote from Paulo Coelho that might become your new daily mantra, while Nikki has some empowering words for all the baddies. Hit play, and remember, if you're gonna hold the L… make it look good! Call Nikki & Brie at 833-GARCIA2 and leave a voicemail!

Have you ever caught yourself silently shrinking, using the word "just" before your title, your accomplishments, or even your ideas? Maybe you've said, "I'm just a team member," or "I'm just filling in"—and in that tiny word, you let a little light of your confidence flicker out. I've heard from leaders just like you, wrestling with the tension between wanting to stand tall in their careers and feeling pressured by culture to play small. The pull to minimize your wins, your presence, and your impact is exhausting. That's exactly what we're exploring in this episode of Being at Work with my longtime friend, MeChelle Callen. MeChelle is not only an author and leader, she's lived the journey of shifting from "just" to joy—embracing power, presence, and authenticity at work. We talk about why eliminating "just" from your vocabulary matters more than you realize, how subtle habits and societal pressures like "tall poppy syndrome" keep us from leading boldly. MeChelle brings real stories, practical tools, and rituals you can tailor for your life. This is an invitation to stop minimizing yourself and finally stand in your power, without apology. Episode Highlights (00:00) Why "just" Is Undermining Your Confidence Without You Knowing (03:03) MeChelle Callen: Who She Is and Why Standing in Our Power Matters (04:23) The Cost of Self-Minimizing Language (08:21) Practical Ways to Eliminate "Just" from Your Work Vocabulary (09:45) Tall Poppy Syndrome: How Culture Makes Us Shrink (12:31) Leadership, Resilience, and Being Seen—Even When It's Risky (18:15) Authenticity vs. Adaptability: How to Honor Yourself While Navigating Feedback (21:50) Rituals for Confidence: Music, Mantras, Power Poses & More (26:16) Micro-Moments of Power: Anchoring Yourself Before Big Moments (29:51) Why Your Unique Voice and Story Matters More Than Ever About Andrea Butcher Andrea Butcher is a visionary business leader, executive coach, and keynote speaker—she empowers leaders to gain clarity through the chaos by being MORE of who they already are.

She hosts the popular leadership podcast, Being [at Work] with a global audience of over 600,000 listeners and is the author of The Power in the Pivot (Red Thread Publishing 2022) and HR Kit for Dummies (Wiley 2023).

In this episode, I share simple journaling prompts, mindset shifts, and rituals that help pause, look back, and carry forward what truly matters. You'll hear how I approach year-end reflection with curiosity instead of pressure, how I use tools like A Sense of Possibilities Planner and Moxie Life's Dream Workbook, and how I create calm before the chaos of planning season. As we move into November, I always find myself craving a deep pause. Before I start planning, I love to sit with my journal, reflect on the lessons of the past year, and soak in the moments that made it special. This episode isn't about fixing what's wrong, but about honoring what went right and making space for what matters most. I'll walk you through my own reflection process — from my messy, beautiful journaling practice to the tools I'm using this year. You'll hear how I use prompts to remember my best memories, release what's not working, and find clarity about what to carry forward. So grab your notebook, your favorite drink, and join me in this reflective space. Together, we'll slow down, celebrate how far you've come, and open the door to a year ahead filled with intention, courage, and calm. ✨ Topics include: year-end reflection, journaling for clarity, goal setting, mindful planning, self-reflection prompts, creating calm before the holidays, and preparing for 2026 with confidence.

Hi, Sleepy. Tonight we tumble straight into the soft chaos: gratitude letters from everywhere, the strange art of being personal-not-private, and why “content creator” sounds like a label on an empty jar. We circle around presidents paying for burgers, detour by Elvis (don't worry), and then land in a sweaty body-pump class where a 50-year-old Swede forgets how heavy ten kilos get after forty reps. A robot vacuum develops ritualistic tendencies, a pizza becomes a childhood comet, and language itself turns into a sleepy predator stalking the right word. Nothing is planned, everything is allowed—just enough sparkle to keep you half-interested while you drift off to sleep on this imaginative, gently absurd journey to a peaceful night. It is what it is. Let's begin.Sleep Tight!More about Henrik, click here: https://linktr.ee/Henrikstahl Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dan welcomes guest host Kate while Frank escapes to paradise (again!). Together they discuss new revelations about creep-o Warren Jeffs and how he forced his wives to satisfy his kinks... but you know: for the lord. This week: Gen Z "Revival" – Overhyped college baptisms; mostly young men clinging to old-school patriarchy. Pew Poll – More Americans think religion's power is rising; hosts say it's just the fringe. Kenya Wine Scandal – Communion wine sold in bars, church locks down supply. Ted Cruz & Nigeria – Cruz invents a "Christian genocide" for political points. King Charles & the Pope – First joint prayer in 400 years; royal-religious absurdity ensues. Megachurch Wealth – Pastors justify riches as God's favor, expose on greed and guilt-shaming. And of course, God's secret commandment to Warren Jeffs.
We explore Día de los Muertos as a ritual that nurtures community, imbues loss with meaning, and helps us process grief while also connecting through shared joy.Summary: We investigate how Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, rituals strengthen family ties and cultural identity, and learn about its evolution from a 3,000 year old practice to a global celebration. We look at key elements like the ofrenda and explore how commercialization—like Mattel's Day of the Dead Barbie—raises questions about balancing tradition with modern influences.This episode is made possible through the generous support of the John Templeton Foundation.How To Do This Practice: Set an intention: Begin by reflecting on who or what you want to honor, focusing on connection and gratitude rather than loss. Let this intention guide the energy of your ritual. Create a space of offering: Choose a spot in your home and make it a place of remembrance. Gather meaningful items like photos, flowers, candles, or anything that holds personal or ancestral significance. Invite the elements: Bring in water, fire, wind, and earth in simple ways—perhaps a candle, a glass of water, a plant, or a piece of fabric that moves gently in the air—to represent balance and harmony. Add a personal touch: Offer something that carries memory, like a favorite food, scent, or song of someone you love. These gestures transform remembrance into a living connection. Gather in community: Invite others to join you in building the altar or sharing stories and food. Coming together in this way turns memory into collective celebration and strengthens belonging. Reflect and release: When the ritual feels complete, take a few quiet moments to notice what you feel. Offer gratitude for the connections that remain and carry their presence forward into daily life. Scroll down for a transcription of this episode.

Did you know that the concept of spiritual covering originated from the "Shepherding Movement" in the 1970s? Many prideful leaders are pounding ungodly doctrine down the throats of many wounded Christians ... manipulating and trying to gain control over souls, which is a form of witchcraft. This pattern is still being witnessed in various churches and on social media as a worldly recognition; often involving occult impartations and the glorification of self! A spiritual covering is NOT required for accountability. Let's be clear: You're covering and ultimate authority belongs to God, NOT man! Be wary of leaders who twist Scripture and prioritize submission to themselves over God. There are dangers of occult traditions and rituals that glorify self and place humans as divine authority, my friends! Spiritual coverings are a SCAM: You're covering comes from our Creator, not His creation!

Dave talks to Ruby Tandoh, bestselling food writer and author of 'All Consuming: Why We Eat the Way We Eat Now,' about the big topics in food media today (0:01).
