Most people chase happiness as a feeling and wait for certainty before making big decisions, and both instincts quietly backfire. Dr. Arthur Brooks joins Dr. Gabrielle Lyon to break down what happiness is and how to act on it.In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon and Dr. Arthur Brooks discuss:The three "macronutrients" of happiness - enjoyment, satisfaction, and meaning, and why pursuing pleasure alone leads to detox, not happinessA usable rule for any hard decision: aim for roughly 80% excitement, 20% fear, and near-zero "deadness" once you have about 80% situational awarenessWhy solo pleasures don't stick if you're doing it alone, you're probably doing it wrong, and how enjoyment requires people plus memoryHow GLP-1s, SSRIs, and hormonal shifts can dull motivation, reward, and desire, and why knowing this gives you power over itSimple tech protocols: phone-free first hour, meals, and last hour that protect oxytocin, meaning, and connectionUnderstand happiness as something you build rather than something you wait to feel, and you walk away with concrete tools to decide better, connect deeper, and stop mistaking achievement for love.Want ad-free episodes?

What are you looking to for satisfaction? We all experience longings—for comfort, approval, relationships, success, control, and more. But even good things were never meant to bear the weight of satisfying our souls. Today we're breaking from our series on Biblical theology for a conversation with Joanna Kimbrell about misplaced longings, what it looks like to cultivate our desires, and the true desire of every soul—Christ himself. This conversation is deeply theological and also incredibly practical, and we hope it stirs your longing for the day when every longing will be ultimately and forever satisfied. 00:00 — What Does It Mean to Be Truly Satisfied? 07:49 — Where Are You Looking for Satisfaction? 15:43 — What Do Our Longings Reveal About What We Really Need? 25:36 — How Can We Grow in Our Desire for God? 37:48 — Finding Satisfaction in the Midst of Suffering 43:00 — When All Our Longings Will Finally Be Satisfied FULL SHOW NOTES journeywomen.org/episode/finding-satisfaction DISCUSSION QUESTIONS What are some things you tend to find your satisfaction in? Are there ways you notice your soul being “undernourished” by those things? Which of the Scriptures that Joanna referenced resonated most with you? Consider memorizing it this week. Have you experienced satisfaction in God even amidst a season of hardship and suffering? How does dwelling on your future eternal reality help you to have satisfaction in God today?

Most of us equate a satisfying retirement with achieving a specific savings goal. We dream of the day when the work alarm clock is silenced, the 401(k) is plump, and we can finally enjoy life on our terms. But recent research challenges this traditional thinking, revealing that while money matters, it's far from the only factor—sometimes not even the most important one. Why Half of Retirees Aren't Truly HappyOnly about half of retirees say their retirement is “very satisfying,” with most others falling into the “moderately satisfied” category and about 10% not satisfied at all. This leaves a pressing question—what separates those beaming with contentment from those just “okay” or unhappy after leaving the workforce?There is a tendency to assume money is the main culprit. Yet new research suggests a much smaller role for finances than is commonly believed, especially compared with other often-overlooked factors.Four Pillars of Retirement SatisfactionSavings:Your total nest egg, everything you've saved apart from your home.Lifetime Income:The predictable, recurring payments you'll receive for life—think Social Security and pensions.Health:How you rate your physical condition.Social Connections:The strength and depth of your relationships, measured by how connected and supported you feel.I talk about how these four pillars interact, and—most importantly—how none alone can compensate for a shortfall in another. For instance, having vast savings won't make up for a lack of social connections or poor health.The Surprising Power of Lifetime Income and Social ConnectionWhile retirees with over $1 million in savings and high lifetime income are the most satisfied (77%), those with far less in savings but significant guaranteed income (like Social Security) closely trail in happiness (73%). The reliability of a regular paycheck in retirement can be more psychologically satisfying than simply having a large pile of assets.But the single strongest predictor of retirement satisfaction, after controlling for all factors, was not money at all—it was social connection. Having a strong circle of friends was associated with higher satisfaction than having a seven-figure bank account.Positive social connections can even offset the effects of deteriorating health. Retirees with fair health but strong friendships are nearly as satisfied as those with excellent health but few friends.The Weakest Link: Why All Four Factors MatterThese factors stack rather than substitute. You can't out-save your way out of loneliness, nor can vibrant health buy your way out of financial insecurity. Satisfaction is governed by your weakest link—so maximizing all four areas is key.So, how can you prepare for a truly satisfying retirement? Strengthen Social Ties: Identify work-based friendships at risk of fading after retirement, and make efforts to integrate them into your new routine. Join clubs or volunteer—even before you retire—to lay strong social foundations.Prioritize Health: Invest in your well-being through activities that blend exercise and social engagement (think pickleball or group classes).Maximize Lifetime Income: Consider strategies like delaying Social Security to increase your guaranteed monthly income.Develop a Holistic Plan:Don't just focus on your “magic number.” Plan for your daily life—how you'll spend your time and with whom—after the paychecks stop.Your “Retirement Number” Isn't EnoughIn the end, financial security is essential, but it's only half the equation. To enjoy the best years of your life, cultivate health and meaningful relationships, and find purpose beyond work. Start addressing your weakest pillar today, and you'll build not just a wealthy retirement, but a happy one.Outline of This Episode[04:10] Understanding retirement satisfaction[07:41] Different types of retirement money[10:26] Explaining the Income Lab tool[14:45] Importance of health and connections[17:05] Balancing life priorities[20:31] Work as social infrastructure[23:41] Importance of holistic retirement planningResources MentionedHealth and Retirement StudyIncome LabWHO Commission on Social ConnectionOur Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation: The U.S. Surgeon General's Advisory on the Healing Effects of Social Connection and CommunityDavid Blanchett Connect With Scott WellensSchedule a discovery call with ScottSend a message to ScottVisit Fortress Planning GroupConnect with Scott on LinkedInFollow Scott on TwitterFortress Planning Group on FacebookSubscribe to Best In WealthAudio Production and Show notes byPODCAST FAST TRACKhttps://www.podcastfasttrack.comPodcast Disclaimer:The Best In Wealth Podcast is hosted by Scott Wellens.

Think about the last thing you almost bought and did not. You picked it up, you looked at it, you put it back down. You had a reason for choosing one item over its competitors, and you know exactly what it was. Did anybody ever ask you why you didn't choose the loser? Of course not. And somebody did the same thing to you this week. Something you made, or wrote, or suggested. An idea you put into a meeting that got a polite nod and then went nowhere. They considered it, decided against it, and you never found out the real reason. Almost everything that comes back to you comes from the people who said yes. Inside a business, the machinery makes that official. Satisfaction surveys go to people who have bought. Reviews come from people who have bought. The customer list is a list of people who have bought. The one who put it back down is invisible to all of it, and that person is holding the answer. So, where do you point a question to reach somebody who is not there? Last week, we took a question apart and rebuilt it. But a well-made question aimed at the wrong thing comes back empty. Where you point a question is the other half of the skill. Forty-two cards of Killer Questions A killer question is one that has been tested and proven to spark ideas beyond the obvious. The name comes from the old phrase "killer app," where "killer" meant standout, not lethal. I built this collection of questions the slow way. I designed structured tests into my innovation workshops, which I was running: specific questions put to specific groups, and a record of what each produced. The rule for keeping a question was that it had to trigger something in that room. Did somebody walk out seeing their customer, their product, or the way they work differently than when they walked in? If nothing moved, the question was cut. If there was a good idea underneath one and I had simply worded it badly, I rewrote it and ran it again in another workshop. There were hundreds of questions, and most did not survive. Forty-two did. When I sorted the survivors, they fell into three groups. Not by subject. By where they aim your thinking. Three places to aim Every question in the deck points to one of three things. Who, what, and how. WHO is the person or organization who will benefit from what you make. Usually, your customer, though the gap between "usually" and "always" is where a lot of new business hides. WHAT is the product, the service, the solution that creates the value for the WHO. HOW is the way your organization builds, delivers, and supports the WHAT for the WHO. Three places an idea can come from, and the questions exist to send you into each one on purpose rather than by accident. The cards all say "product." Read that as whatever you make for somebody else. A service counts. So does a proposal you hand to your boss. Thirteen of my cards aim at WHO. Thirteen at WHAT. Sixteen at HOW. That split was never a plan. It is where the questions that kept surviving pointed, and eventually, I stopped arguing with it. WHO What are your unshakable beliefs about what your customers want? The phone companies believed their customers wanted reliability above all else, and they were right. For a century, they built toward 99.999 percent uptime. A dial tone that worked in a storm, in a power failure, always. Then somebody turned that belief over and looked at it with no assumptions about what the customer wanted. Where were there people who would give up call quality for something else? That is the question that led to voice over IP, a phone call carried over the internet. In the early days, it sounded terrible. Calls dropped. By the standard the old industry had spent a century perfecting, VoIP was not a serious product. But underneath it sat an idea nobody in that industry had allowed themselves to consider: that many people would trade call quality for price and mobility, and would do so happily. They did. That market opportunity existed before anyone built it, waiting for someone willing to challenge the old standard on its head. WHAT What is surprisingly inconvenient about my product? It does not ask whether the product is good. Your team will defend that all day, and they will be partly right, which will only make the conversation worse. Surprisingly inconvenient means some part of using your product that nobody inside your company has ever seen a real person struggle with. The fifteen minutes with the instructions. The step everyone on your team skips automatically because they built the thing. On the back of that card sits the shortest useful question I own: "Do you use your own product yourself?" Hold on to this one. In a few minutes, it turns up at a Best Buy, and the strange part is that I wasn't aiming at it when I found it. HOW What do people not like about the buying experience for my product? For the whole time I was CTO at HP, I spent nearly every Saturday in a Best Buy. While traveling, I found a local electronics store in whatever country I was in. I was not shopping. I was standing in the aisle watching strangers choose, because this question has no other answer. You cannot survey somebody who did not buy. My family called it my "digital stalking". My kids would have done almost anything else rather than be seen with me in a Best Buy on a Saturday. When somebody picked up a competitor's product and headed for the checkout, I would walk over, introduce myself, and ask what made them choose that one. I did it long enough that the sales staff around Silicon Valley knew me, and would change how they talked to a customer if they saw me standing there. Stay somewhere long enough, and you stop being an observer. You influence what you are measuring. Then came the Saturday that changed a product. A customer set down an HP laptop and bought a competitor's. I asked him why. He told me he could not see the keys. This was during the stretch when every laptop was going aluminum, and somebody in our laptop group had given ours a chrome-looking keyboard. High gloss. On a store shelf, it looked expensive, which is exactly what it was designed to do. It also meant that anyone whose eyesight had started to go could not read the letters on it. Sales on that product had been running under plan, and nothing in the data said why. We changed the keyboard back to matte black with high contrast white lettering. Sales went up on that one change. No survey would have revealed the issue. By the time he told me, he was already somebody else's customer. Notice what that question actually turned up. I went into the store carrying a HOW question about the buying experience. What came back was a WHAT answer, something surprisingly. Inconvenient about the product itself. You choose where to aim. You do not choose where the answer comes from. Testing for Great Questions How do you find and test great questions? Ask the question, then watch what happens in the next four seconds. If the room goes quiet, and then somebody says, "Hang on," you are holding a good one. That pause is the sound of a person arriving somewhere they have not been. You just unleashed a great question. If someone answers immediately and confidently, the question isn't that great. A fast answer means you aimed where the team has already been, and they are reciting. I threw away hundreds that way and got down to the questions that caused impact. Practice Exercise Take a decision you are facing this month and give it ninety minutes. Start with whichever of the three you are least comfortable with, which for most people is HOW. Take a question from it at random. Do not hunt for the one you like, because the one you like is the one you have already answered. Set a timer for thirty minutes and write down every idea that question produces. No judging, no editing, just quantity. Then do the same thing with a question aimed at your customer, and again with one aimed at the product. When you have worked through all three, read back over everything and pick the best three ideas to start on. That is how you run it on your own. If you would rather do it with a team, there is a second version designed for groups of 4 to 6 people. Both are written out step by step on killerquestions.com, so you are not working from memory. You can buy the deck at innovation.tools, either as printed cards or as a digital download for your phone, tablet, or PC. Send me the question that worked best for you. I am also still on the search for new questions for volume 2 of the card deck. Send your suggestions, and they might just be included. That closes out this three-part series on questions. If you came in at the end, part one is about why you cannot stop yourself from answering a question, and part two is about how a single word inside a question steers the answer you get back. The next episode is about abductive thinking. Deduction hands you a conclusion you can prove. Induction hands you a pattern you can bet on. Abduction is what you reach for when you have neither and still have to decide, which is most of the time. It is how a doctor arrives at a diagnosis, and it is how most real innovation actually happens. Subscribe wherever you watch or listen, and you will get that one when it lands.
At 71, Terry Craig reflects on a life shaped by creativity, curiosity, movement, and reinvention.Growing up as the second of six siblings, Terry learned early how to resolve conflicts and bring people together. Her mother sewed clothing for the family, and Terry soon discovered her own love of sewing and creating patterns. Over the years, she expanded into quilting and fiber art, including painting with wool and learning wet felting. Always eager to try something new, Terry embraces projects that keep her engaged and inspired.After studying interior design at the Art Institute, Terry realized she wanted a career centered on people and moved into human resources, and later into sales, after relocating to Florida. Upon returning to Chicago, she again worked in HR. Wherever Terry lives, she brings her sewing machine and seeks out community. Local community centers offer groups and classes where she can play Scrabble and connect with fellow stitchers. Physical movement has always been important. Terry began cycling after high school and met her future husband through the sport. Together, they explore multi-day rides, and they are now preparing for a five-week, self-guided e-bike tour along the canals of Paris, ending with a week on the Riviera. Today, she and her husband split their time between Chicago and Scottsdale, AZ where she teaches sewing to a group of 167 people. The group also completes charitable projects, including Easter baskets, pillowcases, and activity totes for children.Terry stays active through hiking, pickleball, cycling, and walking—10,000 steps barely faze her. She believes age is a state of mind and encourages others to overcome fear by starting small and celebrating tiny successes. For Terry Craig, reinvention is a lifelong way of living.“Age is a state of mind and you can overcome fear by starting small and celebrating tiny successes.” - Terry CraigCONNECT WITH TERRY:Email: teresalcraig@gmail.comAARP LogoThanks to our Platinum Sponsor, AARP Illinois, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to empowering people 50 and older to choose how they live as they age.

Remember the old hotel ice machines? The kind where you'd slide your bucket under the chute and hear the avalanche of cubes crashing into it? There was something so fun and strangely gratifying about that thing.Or think about breaking an icicle off the edge of a roof. Such a gratifying feeling from such a small act.My guest has written an ode to the outsized pleasures that arise from these kinds of everyday interactions with the physical world. His name is Ian Bogost, and his new book is The Small Stuff. Today on the show, Ian argues that a fulfilling life isn't built solely by chasing the big components of happiness but also by embracing the small moments of gratification that are woven throughout ordinary life. We discuss how those moments can be found in tactile experiences like shifting a manual transmission, turning a well-made knob, or flipping through the pages of a real menu. We explore how these small opportunities for engagement — for contact, connection, and control— have been disappearing as the world becomes more digitized and automated and everything becomes a touchscreen. And Ian shares how opportunities for "sensory enchantment" can still be found in our increasingly dematerialized world.Resources Related to the PodcastIan's previous appearance on the AoM Podcast: Episode #247 — The Pleasure of Limits, the Uses of Boredom, and the Antidote to Excessive IronyIan's Atlantic article "The End of Manual Transmission"Andy Rooney compilationConnect With Ian BogostThe Small Stuff websiteIan's websiteIan's faculty page0:00 Introduction0:40 Ian Bogost and 'The Small Stuff'2:25 What Kickstarted This Book6:38 Happiness, Satisfaction, and Gratification14:58 Gratification Is Everywhere — But Disappearing18:28 Dematerialization: How the World Is Losing Sensory Richness26:41 How Work Has Become Less Gratifying33:09 How to Reclaim Your Sensory Life38:35 Keep More Junk Around44:38 Talk About Small Pleasures48:17 Living Life Sideways (Orthogonality)50:03 Wrap-UpSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Let's talk about what actually happens when desire disappears in a long term relationship… because most people assume their libido is just gone, or something is broken in their relationship, when the truth is usually something completely different. In this episode I'm breaking down how desire actually works, why spontaneous desire is mostly a myth for couples past the honeymoon phase, and the one simple 20 minute practice you can try this week to start feeling connected again without forcing anything. I'm also getting into the difference between duty sex and responsive desire, because those are not the same thing and confusing them is making a lot of people miserable. If you've ever thought something is wrong with you because you don't want sex the way you used to, this episode is for you. Spoiler: nothing is wrong with you. Your desire just works differently now. #SexWithEmily #EmilyMorse #Cheating #Wisdom #Desire Don't miss a video!

Mit einem Song, den viele Radiosender erstmal gar nicht spielen wollten, werden die Rolling Stones 1965 zur Legende. Roland erzählt, wie "Satisfaction" fast im Halbschlaf entsteht, und warum der Song Rockgeschichte schreibt.
Dr. Darrin Wright,FBCW,FBC Wheeling,Psalm Sermon, Psalm, The Path of Satisfaction, Psalm 119,
Customer experience has long been recognized as an important part of running a successful business. Companies invest heavily in customer service training, satisfaction surveys, loyalty programs, and performance metrics, all with the expectation that happier customers will naturally lead to greater business growth. But what if satisfaction isn't enough? For many organizations, customer satisfaction has become the finish line rather than the starting point. A customer who isn't unhappy isn't necessarily a customer who is expanding their relationship with your business. In competitive markets where acquiring new customers continues to become more expensive, growth increasingly depends on strengthening relationships with the customers businesses already have. That shift requires a different way of thinking about customer experience. Rather than asking whether customers are satisfied, organizations should be asking whether customers genuinely feel valued. That distinction may seem subtle, but it can dramatically influence long-term growth. According to customer experience researcher Jim Tincher, organizations whose customers feel valued are significantly more likely to increase their business over time. Satisfaction may reduce the likelihood of losing a customer, but creating a relationship built on appreciation, trust, and meaningful engagement is what encourages customers to deepen that relationship. This philosophy forms the foundation of what Tincher calls the Growth Laws. The concept challenges many traditional assumptions about customer experience. For years, businesses have relied on metrics such as Net Promoter Score (NPS), customer satisfaction surveys, and online reviews to evaluate performance. While these measurements can provide useful insights, they often fail to identify the factors that actually influence future growth. A customer may rate a company highly and still decide to spread future business across multiple vendors. Another customer may rarely complete surveys yet continue expanding their partnership year after year. The difference often comes down to emotional connection rather than numerical scores. As Tincher explains, "Reliability will keep an account. Feeling valued is what grows it." That perspective becomes especially relevant in business-to-business organizations. Unlike consumer purchases, B2B buying decisions often involve significant financial investments, operational risks, and professional accountability. Business leaders are rarely purchasing products alone. They are choosing partners whose performance may directly affect their own careers. That reality changes how customer experience should be approached. Trust, responsiveness, expertise, and partnership become just as important as pricing or product features. Customers want suppliers who understand their business, anticipate future challenges, and bring ideas that create additional value beyond the original transaction. One of the most overlooked ways organizations can accomplish this is through executive engagement. In many companies, customer relationships are delegated almost exclusively to sales teams or account managers. While those relationships remain essential, they often leave customers connected to only one individual within the organization. As businesses grow, that creates unnecessary risk. If the relationship exists with only one representative, turnover can quickly weaken years of trust and communication. Strong organizations intentionally create relationships across multiple levels of leadership, giving customers access to executives, subject matter experts, product teams, and operational leaders who can contribute additional perspectives and insights. This broader engagement demonstrates something customers consistently value. Commitment. It communicates that the relationship extends beyond a single salesperson and reflects the organization's broader investment in the customer's success. Customer experience also requires organizations to become better educators. Every business possesses knowledge that customers find valuable. Industry trends. Best practices. Emerging technologies. Lessons learned from serving similar organizations. Yet many companies hesitate to share those insights, assuming customers only expect products or services. In reality, expertise often becomes one of the greatest competitive advantages. Customers increasingly seek partners who help them make better decisions, not simply vendors who fulfill orders. Sharing thought leadership, relevant research, and practical insights positions an organization as a trusted advisor rather than a transactional supplier. That distinction often creates opportunities for deeper relationships and future growth. Technology continues reshaping customer experience as well. Artificial intelligence, automation, predictive analytics, and digital communication tools are helping organizations respond faster, personalize interactions, and improve efficiency. Used strategically, these technologies create tremendous value for both businesses and customers. The challenge lies in how they are implemented. Technology should remove friction, not relationships. Customers appreciate automation when it simplifies routine tasks, accelerates service, or improves convenience. They become frustrated when technology replaces meaningful conversations or forces them into rigid processes that ignore their unique needs. As Tincher notes, "The biggest threat to your share of wallet isn't your competition. It's your policies." Rigid systems, inflexible procedures, and poorly implemented technology often create greater barriers than competitors themselves. The organizations that excel at customer experience understand this balance. They use technology to support people rather than replace them. They automate repetitive tasks while creating more opportunities for employees to engage personally with customers. They recognize that convenience and human connection are not competing priorities. They are complementary ones. Perhaps the most important lesson within the Growth Laws is that customer experience cannot remain the responsibility of one department. As organizations expand, customer experience must evolve into an organizational discipline rather than an isolated initiative. Marketing influences customer expectations. Sales shapes first impressions. Operations determine consistency. Finance affects policies. Technology influences convenience. Leadership defines culture. Every department contributes to how customers experience a business. Organizations that recognize this interconnectedness create stronger alignment across teams while delivering more consistent customer experiences. That consistency builds trust. Trust builds loyalty. Loyalty creates growth. Customer experience has never been more important than it is today. Competition continues increasing. Consumer expectations continue evolving. Technology continues changing how businesses interact with customers. Organizations that simply meet expectations may retain customers. Organizations that consistently make customers feel valued will be the ones that grow. That is the difference between customer satisfaction and customer experience. And it is ultimately the principle at the heart of the Growth Laws. Watch the full episode on YouTube.

Why might physical work become more valuable as AI advances?Physical, hands-on work may be entering a new era of relevance as artificial intelligence changes the future of desk-based careers. In episode 274 of At The Table, Pat and Cody explore how tangible work can provide economic stability, human connection, visible accomplishment, and opportunities for personal development. They also challenge leaders and parents to consider whether efficiency should always take priority over the dignity, growth, and satisfaction that meaningful work can provide.Topics explored in this episode: (00:00) Why Physical Work Is Becoming Cool AgainPat introduces the growing appeal of physical, present, and tangible work as artificial intelligence begins replacing more computer-based tasks.Pat and Cody examine how previous generations encouraged young people to pursue white-collar careers rather than jobs involving physical skill or direct service.(03:40) The Unexpected Value of a Tree ServicePat shares the story of Rocky Hernandez, who built a successful tree-service business after coming to the United States without a formal education.Rocky's son may discover that taking over and expanding the family business offers more opportunity and security than remaining in a high-tech career.(07:17) The Satisfaction of Visible ResultsCody explains how physical work changes people by requiring them to do difficult things and experience the concrete results of their effort.Pat broadens the definition of physical work to include teaching, childcare, restaurants, healthcare, customer service, and other careers built around human presence.(11:36) Work, Entrepreneurship, and Human DignityCody contrasts an automated lawnmower with a 13-year-old neighbor who started a lawn-care business to earn money for a ski pass.Pat and Cody discuss why decisions about automation are also moral decisions involving personal growth, opportunity, dignity, and the kind of people work helps create.(15:03) Learning Differently and Building Something RealPat considers how technology companies can preserve physical, customer-facing work while artificial intelligence reduces the need for certain technical roles.Pat and Cody predict changes in higher education and encourage families to recognize the practical wisdom of careers that produce tangible, visible results.This episode of At The Table with Patrick Lencioni is brought to you by The Table Group: www.tablegroup.com.

In today's episode of Culture Camp, Jason is joined again by David Spader and Leigh Quinn of Potentia, and they discuss the challenges and strategies for leading family businesses. They emphasize the importance of using the Prodaptive leadership process to manage emotional situations rationally. The process involves determining favorability (whether a situation is favorable or unfavorable) and diagnosing root causes using the BET model (Behavior, Environment, Task). They highlight the significance of understanding individual performance levels (L1-L5) and adapting leadership styles accordingly. The conversation underscores the need for clear, intentional communication to foster success and satisfaction in family business dynamics.Tweetable Quotes:"Emotions are going to happen whether we want them to occur or not." - David Spader"All business have to be success-oriented." - Leigh QuinnConnect with David Spader and Lee Quinn:On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/potentia-david-spader-5627655/https://www.linkedin.com/in/leigh-quinn-jr-a017oa69/ Visit Potentia-assesments.com: https://potentia-assessments.com/If you found value in this episode, please leave a rating and review, also, don't forget to share it with a friend!

As the creator of Nothing Much Happens and the author of the audio novel On the Street Where You Live, Kathryn Nicolai has built an interconnected world where listeners can feel safe, soften their guard and step away from the noise of modern life. In this conversation, Kathryn explains how 20 years of teaching yoga prepared her to speak to millions of listeners, why she created a genre she calls “healing fiction,” and how storytelling can quietly bring people into a state of mindfulness without asking them to meditate. She also shares the discipline behind her enormous creative output, the role safety plays in making art, the practices she uses to regulate her own mind and why our lives were never meant to be constantly optimized. This is a conversation about sleep, creativity, community and creating softer places to land—in our minds, our neighbourhoods and our lives. EXCITING STUFF!

Not many folks these days can say about a meal that they were truly and fully satisfied. We often say that a meal was good or filling or tasty, but rarely do we say that we experienced total satisfaction. That is why when the Gospel of Matthew tells us about the miracle of the loaves and fishes, we should pay special attention to the fact that it is reported that the many who were present ate and wewre satisfied.

Introduction: Why Are We Doing This? (Psalm 90): Because TIME IS SHORT . (Ps 90:1-12) Because GOD IS GOOD . (Ps 90:13-15) Because THERE IS WORK TO DO . (Ps 90:16-17) Hint: Highlight blanks above for answers! Gratitude - Part 2 Jeff Miller / Taylor Brown Download Audio Transcript Paster Jeff00:00Open up your Bibles with me please to the book of Psalms. And we will be looking at the 90th Psalm. I can think of a couple reasons now why we need a building on that property. Both of them pretty evident today, right? Alright, let's get into God's Word together. Pray for me please.Paster Jeff00:30A sermon in three acts. So you pray for Pastor Rich and Pastor Taylor. All right? And we all will pray for you. All right? Let's pray. Father in heaven, as we turn to your word now, I just pray for all of us that our hearts are open to receive what it is that you've taught us through your eternal word. Thank you, Father. Thank you for All that you have so richly blessed us with, but most of all, Father, for the salvation that we find in Christ, because otherwise we would be so lost and hopeless. Father, I thank you that you have left us a guarantee of your love for us, the provision of salvation, the means by which eternal life can be restored, Father. And I pray that you would help us all to just Zero in now in your word. We pray in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. I love the kid sounds, by the way. Not a distraction up here. Don't let it distract you. It's a sign of life. I love it. Alright? I told you before when I hear kids making noise, in my mind I just hear, Amen! Amen! Amen! That's how I hear that. So it just encourages me, alright? Psalm 90. Let's take a look.Paster Jeff02:00This is a prayer of Moses, the man of God. Verse 1, Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations. Again, this was written by Moses. And I thought, what an appropriate place for us to land today after this last series that Pastor Taylor took us through.Paster Jeff02:29The Psalm that was actually written by Moses. And look at what he says again in verse 1. Look close. Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations. That's really a funny statement when you consider what was going on when Moses wrote this. You could say that Israel was between homes.Paster Jeff02:59Right? What is home? Anyways, I was thinking about that a lot as I was preparing for this. All the places I lived. I grew up in Shakura. Moved to Ohio for school where I lived probably a half a dozen different places during my years in Ohio. Then moved back to Butler where I lived on Locust Street and then on North Street and then on Pearl Street.Paster Jeff03:29And then we moved to Renfrew, Prospect, Chicago, back to Prospect, then to Economy, and now in beautiful Zillian Opal. Every time I moved, I swore it was the last time I was ever going to move. So I stopped doing that. But what is home? What is it? I think about the church, right?Paster Jeff03:59met at the meeting room in Pantera Bread. Lo these many years ago. Then we were in a man's basement. He knew. He was there. Then we met in the chiropractor's office. Marshall Middle School. Then 12330 Perry Highway Suite 100. And then almost 414 Klein Road, but right back to 12330.Paster Jeff04:29Perry Highway Suite 100. What is home? Well, if you're a believer, there's no place on earth that's ever really going to feel like home. Because earth is not our home. Wherever we are, wherever we are, that's what Moses is talking about here. Lord, You have been our dwelling place.Paster Jeff04:59Church, our dwelling place isn't this office building or even Klein Road or wherever the Lord has. Our dwelling place, Church, is the Lord. Wherever geographically that is, He is our dwelling place. Well, if this isn't our home, and if the new church building isn't something any of us are going to enjoy forever, then why are we...Paster Jeff05:29Why are we going to joyfully and gratefully go after the work of this church building? Why?Paster Jeff05:40So what's the point? Well, there's three points actually. Here's the first one that Moses reminds us this. Time is short.Paster Jeff05:52Time is short.Paster Jeff05:55Look at verses 2 through 6. He says, For the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.Paster Jeff06:08You return man to dust and say, Return, O children of man.Paster Jeff06:14For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday, when it is past, or as a watch in the night.Paster Jeff06:23You sweep them away as with a flood.Paster Jeff06:26They are like a dream, like grass that is renewed in the morning. In the morning, it flourishes and is renewed. In the evening, it fades and withers. Time is short. Oh, not for God, right? He made that clear. From everlasting to everlasting, you are God. When God revealed to Moses what His name is, He said, his name is I Am. And that tells us everything we need to know about God. God's not I was, like you should have seen me in high school. I was in shape and good looking. No, no, God's not the I was. And God is not the I will be. Right? Like, you know what, Moses, I might not look like much now, but I'm exercising and I'm on this paleo diet.Paster Jeff07:26and I just did a juice cleanse and I'm seeing a good chiropractor and I'm going to be something great. No, no, no. He's not the I will be. He is the I am. He is the I am in Moses' day and he is the I am today. And Moses points out here, God is from everlasting to everlasting, but I think it's pretty obvious he says we are not. He says we're not.Paster Jeff07:56around you, you and I are here and gone. Right? Gone like what he tells us in verse 5. He uses three pictures here. First of all, he sweeped them away as with a flood. Could you imagine? Some of you can. Then he says, they're like a dream. I love that image. Have you ever, this happens to me all the the time. Have you ever had one of those dreams that seem like they take place over the course of like days or weeks and then you wake up and it's only been like, you've only been in bed like an hour? Has that ever happened to you? He's like, that's what man's like. We think this is like such a long thing, but it's over quick. He uses another image here that shouldn't be lost on us. He says, we're like grass. We're renewed in the morning. We flourish. We grow.Paster Jeff08:56in the evening we fade.Paster Jeff09:00We wither.Paster Jeff09:02Why is life so short?Paster Jeff09:05He tells us, look at verse 7.Paster Jeff09:07He says, For we are brought to an end by your anger.Paster Jeff09:13By your wrath, we are dismayed.Paster Jeff09:17You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins, in the light of your presence.Paster Jeff09:23For all our days pass away under your wrath. We bring our years to an end like a sigh. The years of our life are 70, or even by reason of strength 80, yet their span is but toil and trouble. They are soon gone, and we fly away.Paster Jeff09:53the power of your anger and your wrath according to the fear of you. Why is life so short? He just basically very poetically sums it up just as one concept. It's the curse of sin. It's because of sin that life is short. God promised Adam, the first man, if you sin against me, God literally says, dying you will die. You're going to get old and wear out and die. Dying you will die.Paster Jeff10:22It's an act of judgment from God on a world that's rejected Him.Paster Jeff10:30You're like, so what's the point?Paster Jeff10:33Why would Moses bring this up?Paster Jeff10:36Verse 12 is Moses' point.Paster Jeff10:39He says, so, this is his prayer to the Lord, should be ours.Paster Jeff10:43So, teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.Paster Jeff10:55Teach us to number our days. Okay, so the Bible says that we should number our days. So let's obey, shall we? How many days do you have left on this earth? How many days? Well, we'll take Moses' average here, right? Did you notice he says, in verse 10, 70 or 80. So we'll take the average, which is 75. All right, thank you, accountants. So if we take Moses' average, 75. Now that's just the average. This is an exercise, right? I did the math for you. Okay, so if you're 50, I'm not going to ask you to raise your hand with your age or anything like that, right? Okay, so So if you're 15 years old, you're sitting here today and you're 15 years old, do you know how many days you have left on this earth? 21,900. All right? If you're 25, you have 18,250. If you're 35, you have 14,600 days left on this earth. If you're 45, you have 10,950 days left on the earth.Paster Jeff12:21If you're 55, you have 7,300 days left on the earth. And if you're 65, you have 3,650 days left on the earth. And if you are 75, you're done. Anything over that is borrowed time.Paster Jeff12:54That's really not the point, is it? I don't think Moses was calling us to some numeric exercise, was he? Here's the point. Moses is not asking that God helps us consider when we may die, but that God helps us consider how we live our short lives. You see, We don't know the number of days that each of us have, but it's knowing that our days on the earth have a number. We just don't know what it is. I mean, what if you don't make the average? I mean, our family's high score is 73. Both of my parents died at 73. What if you don't make the average?Paster Jeff13:52What if your number of days left is 30? Would that change the way you live August? What if the number of days left is 7? Would that change your week? What if the number of days you have left is 1? How would you live today? Because wisdom says, make the most out of however many days I have left. And I will remind you that time is like money. If you're not deliberate in how you spend it, it's going to be gone, and you're not going to know where it went. So this church building that we've been talking about, building, church, this is one way that you can make the most of your short days.Paster Jeff14:52by praying, by giving, by serving. Because we live in a day when more and more people... No, it's always been that way with people. The thing that concerns me is we live in a day when more and more churches, churches are rejecting the Word of God, rejecting the love of God, rejecting the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And this church building, Is our flag in the ground where we say not here? Not here.Paster Jeff15:32If we learned anything when we studied Jesus' parable of the talents, He's given every one of us resources and opportunity to use in this short time that we have on this earth.Paster Jeff15:43And the Bible says He's coming back.Paster Jeff15:46And He wants to see what we did with what He's entrusted to us.Paster Jeff15:53And that's one of the things that gets me excited about this church building. When the Lord returns, I want to be able to point to that building and say, here, this was for you. This was for you. This is what we did with the opportunity and resources that you gave us. Jesus, this is what we did. We established a place where your word was not going to be denied, where your word was not going to be compromised, but it was going to be preached, It was going to be lifted up. We were going to train other people how to preach your word. This is a place where missionaries were sent out. Because though the last, excuse me, though the first Adam, the first Adam brought sin and death, the Bible says the last Adam. Jesus Christ, through His death and resurrection, brought forgiveness and life.Paster Jeff16:51to share this good news.Paster Jeff16:55Teach us to number our days.Paster Jeff16:58That we may get a heart of wisdom.Paster Jeff17:03Our time is short.Paster Jeff17:05So let's wise up.Paster Jeff17:07Let's make the most of them.Paster Jeff17:09Pastor Rich.Pastor Rich17:11So as Jeff said, why are we doing this?Pastor Rich17:15Why are we seeking to build this new place of worship?Pastor Rich17:18Because God is good.Pastor Rich17:21God is good. Look at verses 13 through 15 with me. Return, O Lord, how long? Have pity on your servants. Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us and for as many years as we have seen evil. Verses 1 through 12 impressed on us that life is brief.Pastor Rich17:50So the question is, what should we do with this short, momentary, vapor of a life that has been granted to us? Jeff's statistics hit home. I'm not 35. Yeah, how should we spend it? Should we spend it worshiping ourselves, seeking comfort, material gain, wealth, fame, and a name for ourselves?Pastor Rich18:20Eat, drink, and be merry since tomorrow we die. Now Psalm 90 reminds us that satisfaction is not found in any of those things. Rather, satisfaction is found only in the Lord himself. Verse 14 says, Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. See, to be satisfied is to be filled up. The image is a full stomach, right? After a good meal, When you're satisfied, nothing else is needed. You're completely content. We all know that that satisfaction is temporary. It doesn't last. That's why Moses cries out to God that you, Lord, you be our satisfaction. Satisfaction in the Lord is permanent because he is eternal.Pastor Rich19:19He is the I Am. This image is similar to that of Psalm 23.1 where David writes, the Lord is my shepherd. The Lord, Yahweh, the I Am is my shepherd. Nothing I lack. Well, how about you? Are you satisfied in God and God alone? Or do you need other things to be satisfied? And when you don't have those things, what do you do?Pastor Rich19:49Do you become resentful toward God and grumble and complain? What do you think you deserve? What causes you to complain against our good God? You know, I've thought a great deal about Pastor Taylor's sermon from last Sunday and the infectious disease of complaining. Complaining stems from ingratitude, and the sermon really challenged me to be thankful about everything. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to be thankful to God for everything, every event, every circumstance in life. Because if I'm spending my time being thankful for everything, I'll have very little time to complain about anything. I'm thankful for how things turned out this morning. This rain was an opportunity to complain and grumble and like, man, nothing ever goes right. Nothing ever works.Pastor Rich20:49And I'm thankful. I'm thankful. Everybody is here. I'm thankful for the folks who showed up here, set the auditorium, got ready to worship. And here we are lifting our voices in praise to God. Amen. I want to be thankful to God in ways that show that I am really thankful with my whole heart, thankful in ways that honor him and glorify him because he is good.Pastor Rich21:19I ought to do that. Why? Because as we begin to be thankful for everything, we will see how incredibly generous God is toward us. And as we see how generous God is, we will indeed rejoice and be glad all of our days. He will indeed make us glad for as many days as he afflicted us. And why were we afflicted?Pastor Rich21:49Why are we afflicted?Pastor Rich21:51Because we complain instead of praise.Pastor Rich21:56Remember, this was a song of Moses, so he could have written it in response to any one of the many times the people grumbled and complained against God and felt his stern discipline.Pastor Rich22:09So we should instead praise and give thanks.Pastor Rich22:14Well, what exactly has God so generously given each one of us? There are gifts that every one of us here has in equal, overflowing, abounding measure. I don't have more of these gifts than you do. You have these same gifts in equal measure as Peter, James, and John, as much as George Whitefield, Charles Spurgeon, and Barnabas over in Thailand. The real question is, how much do you lay hold of these good gifts with a grateful heart? The psalm tells us the first and most important gift that God has generously bestowed on us is himself. When you have him, you have all you need to be satisfied. We are assured of his presence with us. It's why Moses says, satisfy us with your steadfast love. That is, Lord, your fill us with who you are lord a god merciful and gracious slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness keeping steadfast love for thousands forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin how intently do you seek to know him you are in christ if you have confessed him as your Lord and Savior. He abides in you. Are you gratefully abiding in him? Second, he is generously giving you life and breath. He sustains you. You have the privilege of this brief life to enjoy him, to enjoy his creation and all the things he has created. You have the privilege in participating in rest and work, enjoying food and drink, days and seasons.Pastor Rich24:09Rain and sun and sea is handiwork in everything around you. And in Christ, we're going to enjoy all these things forever. Third, you have the joy of loving and being loved generously. In your salvation, you are placed into perfect relationship with the triune God who overflows with steadfast love.Pastor Rich24:38And you're in a new relationship to every person. And in such relationships, you can extend grace and mercy and love to others. You can seek forgiveness and grant forgiveness. We are made new for the purpose of generously living out the gospel in real time with real people. That time is brief. So be thankful for it and generous with it.Pastor Rich25:07Fourth, he has granted you citizenship in his glorious kingdom. He has delivered you from the domain of darkness and transferred you into the kingdom of his beloved son. Moreover, he has given you authority to rule with him here in this world in the midst of his enemies. And how do we rule? We rule by sharing the gospel of Christ, seeing enemies converted into children of God and seeing them become.Pastor Rich25:37are brothers and sisters in Christ.Pastor Rich25:41And yes, because he is a good father, he has given you all you need.Pastor Rich25:47Is there anyone here who truly lacks anything?Pastor Rich25:52There may be plenty of worldly and material things that you want, and you know, you may have even convinced yourself that you need these things.Pastor Rich26:02But the reality is that we individually and collectively are among the wealthiest people who have ever lived on the face of the earth. God has indeed shown us his steadfast love and dealt with us all, every one of us here, generously. So what kind of people then ought we to be? We ought to be grateful, thanking God profusely for all he has put into our hands We ought to strive to lay hold of the full and abundant life we have in God our Savior. We ought to be generous toward God and toward others with the same level of generosity that he has bestowed on us. We should be generous towards God and others with our time. Generous towards God and others with love. Generous towards God and others with the resources that God has generously bestowed on us.Pastor Rich27:02We should be gracious in showing mercy, generous in extending grace, and generous in showing hospitality. Our Father has been so, so good to harvest for nearly 15 years. He has been exceedingly generous to us for all that time. Just look around you. And if we had been at the property this morning, there would be so much to see and thankful for.Pastor Rich27:32But look at his generosity and the evidence of his desire to use harvest for his glory. To use you and your generosity for his glory. We are doing this because he is good. And he wants you to join him in this endeavor. There is more to do. And Pastor Taylor is going to tell us about that. Parents and children, don't worry. As the third preacher this morning, I know it's my job to be short.Pastor Taylor28:02I'm going to try my best. So why are we doing this? First, because time is short. Second, because God is good. And thirdly, and finally, because there is work to do. Moses has a final request of the Lord in verse 16. He says, let your work be shown to your servants and your glorious power to their children. In other words, God, do what only you can do. Be at work in our lives. Be at work in the lives of others. You know, growing up, dads can seem very mysterious to their children. Especially when they are gone for eight or more hours of the day going to a place called work. You don't know what they do at work, but you know it's very important. You know that it's a very big deal. Very often, my kids will get sad when I have to go to work. They'll say, oh, why are you going to work, dad? I'll ask them questions. Do you like eating? Do you like wearing clothes?Pastor Taylor29:02Do you like not living outside? Yes. Then I have to go to work. For 40 years, my dad was in the orthopedic sales business. He would sell replacement hips, knees, shoulders, and other equipment. He would be a consultant in the operating room, and the doctors could ask him questions as they did the surgery. And as a child, none of those things really made sense to me. My dad's job was a big mystery.Pastor Taylor29:32changed in third grade when my dad came in for career day to explain what his job was. And my dad did more than just that. He brought a small pair of scrubs, a mask, and a beeper for me to wear. Kids, if you don't know what a beeper is, find someone older and ask them about it. After I suited up, my dad had me hold and hand out replacement joints to my classmates. My dad was so happy to include me, and I felt so cool to be included. As long as I live, I'll never forget that day because I got to be a part of my dad's work. For a very short time, I was in the orthopedic sales business. I got to see my dad at work and join him in his work. Do you know that we get to see our heavenly father at work? We get to join him in his Our dad is at work all the time and his work isn't a mystery. We're told in scripture what this work is. Our dad is in the salvation business. He is in the business of changing lives both now and forever. We have been recipients of our dad's work. We have been saved. We have been forgiven. We have been transformed. We have been changed. We've been given a church family to belong to.Pastor Taylor31:01We have been recipients of our dad's work. But even more than that, we get to join our father in his work. We get to be co-laborers with our dad. Did my dad need me all those years ago? I think he could have explained his job perfectly well without me. My dad didn't need to use me, but he wanted to use me.Pastor Taylor31:31need to use us. No. He doesn't need me. He doesn't need you. He doesn't need Pastor Jeff, Pastor Rich, Brian Behe, Justin Katie. He doesn't need anybody or anything. He is 100% self-sufficient every single way. He doesn't need to use us, but he wants to use us. It's a good feeling to be needed. It's an infinitely greater feeling.Pastor Taylor32:01to be wanted.Pastor Taylor32:03Do you truly believe that God wants to use you?Pastor Taylor32:07That He desires to use you?Pastor Taylor32:11God wants to include you in His work of saving the lost.Pastor Taylor32:15Of spreading the good news of Jesus Christ.Pastor Taylor32:17Of building this church.Pastor Taylor32:19Of sanctifying His people.Pastor Taylor32:21We have been called into the family business.Pastor Taylor32:25We are in the business of seeing our Heavenly Father save sinners and change lives.Pastor Taylor32:31There is no greater calling. There is no more meaningful work. There is no better job in the entire world. But we cannot do our dad's work in our own power. We desperately need his help. We need to pray the words of Moses in verse 17. He says, Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us and establish the work of our hands upon us. Yes! Establish the work of our hands. What we build will crumble unless God sustains it. What we achieve will fade away unless God blesses it. It's easy to look at a massive project like building this building and be overwhelmed. It's easy to think, well, how's this going to happen? There's so much money to raise. There's so much How is this going to happen? You know, I know exactly how it's going to happen. God will make it happen. He will be at work in and through us like he always has been. God is at work behind the scenes and through you as well. Instead of falling back into fear, let's lean forward in hope. Let's boldly and passionately pray for the Lord's gracious favor.Pastor Taylor33:52And that word for favor in verse 17 can also be translated as approval, delight, or beauty. A proud dad delights when his children try their best. A proud dad approves when his kids make an effort and do not phone it in. A proud dad smiles when his kids work hard and do not give up. It's like Moses praying, Lord, smile upon the work of your people.Pastor Taylor34:22Let's pray the same exact thing this morning. Lord, smile upon the work of Harvest Bible Chapel. Smile upon this building project. Smile upon our effort to build a bigger space where more people can worship you, encounter you, and learn about the good news of Jesus Christ. So let's pray right now that we would get to work and that God would establish the work of our hands. Father, we thank you so much for who you are. We thank you so much for all that you do for us.Pastor Taylor34:57As Pastor Rich already said, we so often complain when things don't go according to plan.Pastor Taylor35:02Instead, let us always give thanks because you are always at work.Pastor Taylor35:06You're always doing something that we can't see.Pastor Taylor35:10You are always changing lives.Pastor Taylor35:11You are always doing amazing things behind the scenes.Pastor Taylor35:17Lord, from a human standpoint, I don't know how this building project is going to work.Pastor Taylor35:21I don't know how all the details are going to come together. But the great thing is I don't have to worry about that because you have it all figured out. You will make it happen, Father. You will bring about what you want in this building project. We trust you because you are the I Am. From everlasting to everlasting, you are God. We thank you that you don't need us, but you choose to use us anyway. We ask all this in Jesus' name. Amen.Pastor Taylor35:51So before we close, I want to read verse 17 again. Let your work be shown to your servants and your glorious power to their children. We seek to put up this new building for the sake of our children. For the sake of the next generation encountering the glorious power and life-giving work of our great God. We want a safe place for our kids to be kids. To have fun. To have joy in the Lord. And to be trained for the work of God themselves. So we're actually going to put the kids to work right now. So kids, come forward. You're actually going to be singing for the entire church. So if you're able to sing, come forward kids and get ready to sing our song. Hey, that was fantastic, guys.Paster Jeff36:53Don't you think they should do that song with you? And by the way, if you're like, that's kid stuff. Remember Levi's sermon on Wednesday night? Unless you have the faith of a child, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. We are all called to have this kind of excited faith that is so joyful at what the Lord is doing.Paster Jeff37:21So let's stand. Let's all be VBS kids right now, alright?

PROVERBS | Satisfaction & Gluttony | Stevy York
Madrid y Ávila sufren incendios forestales, con miles de hectáreas arrasadas y más de 10.000 personas desalojadas. La situación es crítica por el viento, la baja humedad y las altas temperaturas, que unen fuegos y provocan desalojos. Se espera una mejoría el domingo. El caso de la muerte de Isaac Andik, fundador de Mango, da un giro. Una intérprete, colaboradora de la psicoterapeuta, revela que enseñó una ruta de montaña a Jonathan Andik, el sospechoso, como "terapia de confrontación". Expertos cuestionan la validez y peligrosidad de estas pseudoterapias, pues la terapeuta no estaba colegiada. Anécdotas musicales incluyen: la inspiración de The Beatles por un profesor español, el rescate de "Bohemian Rhapsody" por un DJ, el origen del riff de "Satisfaction" por un error, el éxito mundial de "Himno a la Alegría" de Miguel Ríos, y el encuentro entre Elvis Presley y The Beatles.

In this episode, Rocky and Lucia dive deep into the complexities of leadership, personal growth, and the often invisible gender dynamics at play in professional settings. Lucia Simek joins Rocky for a vulnerable and candid discussion about the motivations behind life choices, drawing on personal anecdotes from therapy to explore whether you act to heal old wounds or to express our true selves. They tackle the "soft skills" of leadership, reframing them as essential tools that are frequently undervalued, and provide a critical look at the subtle ways power is reclaimed through body language in mixed-gender environments. This episode is a call-to-action for a return to basic decorum and grace, emphasizing that the most toxic things lose their power once we find the courage to say them out loud.Episode Highlights with Timestamps:00:00:12 – The Drive of Personal History: Reflecting on how a desire to avoid the mistakes of past generations can subconsciously fuel current decisions. 00:02:10 – Filling Gaps vs. Authentic Action: Navigating the tension between acting to heal a personal deficiency and acting out of a true fulfillment of self.00:04:21 – The Satisfaction of Being: Understanding why doing something to "be something" is more fulfilling than doing it just to "prove something."00:06:15 – Leading with Righteous Anger: Using "fire" or "righteous anger" as a tool for staff advocacy, and how this internal heat is often missed by others.00:10:32 – The Double Standard of Anger: A look at the misogyny women face when they deploy anger as a legitimate professional tool.00:14:00 – Subtle Power Reclamations: How distracted body language—like shuffling papers or avoiding eye contact—is used to reclaim power in conversations.00:16:04 – Radical Advocacy through Listening: How men can be better advocates simply by maintaining eye contact and giving "air" to women's voices.00:17:31 – The Fallacy of "Soft Skills": Challenging the dismissal of empathy and listening as secondary skills when traditional "hard" leadership is failing.00:21:26 – Decorum and Grace: Why effective communication requires a return to essential respect and basic manners for everyone involved.00:24:25 – Say the Unspoken: Removing the "secret power" of toxic or hidden things by bringing them into the light through honest speech.Get to Know Our GuestLucia Simek is an artist, writer, curator, and museum professional with an MFA in sculpture from Texas Christian University.

Be Unmessablewith: The Podcast hosted by Josselyne Herman-Saccio
In this episode of Be Unmessablewith, Josselyne Herman-Saccio breaks down the difference between emotional satisfaction and real, measurable satisfaction. She challenges the idea that feelings like satisfaction and fulfillment come from emotions alone and instead encourages listeners to focus on what they are actually accomplishing in the real world.Satisfaction: It's not about feelings, which can be fleeting and unreliable. Satisfaction is about satisfying measurable goals and outcomes.Fulfillment: It's connected to your vision of life, such as peace of mind or freedom. Fulfillment isn't a goal you "complete"—it's an ongoing space to live in, one that you can cultivate at any moment.Josselyne also shares practical ways to focus on true satisfaction and fulfillment, encouraging you to measure your progress in the real world and create spaces for fulfillment like peace of mind or freedom, no matter your emotional state.Download the Free Guide of 5 Daily Practices To Be Unmessablewith Checklist Connect With JosselyneWebsite: https://www.beunmessablewith.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beunmessablewith/Linkedin: http://linkedin.com/in/josselyne-herman-saccio-9b9752aFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/unmessablewithnessEmail: joss@theartofbeingunmessablewith.com
