The film production began in 2018, and much has changed since then. It is now 2025, and this story is far from over.https://www.youtube.com/@UCz6UbVKfqutH-N7WXnC5Ykg https://www.kyivofmine.com/#theprojectKyiv of Mine is fast paced, beautifully filmed, humorous, fun, insightful, heartbreaking, moving, hopeful.

In this episode, we dive deep with James (Jared) Maynard—a physiotherapist, strength coach, and competitive powerlifter—who not long ago faced a life-threatening health crisis. What began as a simple head cold spiraled quickly into organ failure, a rare autoimmune condition called HLH, and five weeks on life support. James takes us through the harrowing journey of fighting for his life, grappling with the loss of his physical strength, and rebuilding himself from the ground up—both physically and mentally. Through candid conversations, he and Chris explore the daunting challenges of identity shifts, the importance of resilience, and the power of community support during times of crisis. James also opens up about how this experience reshaped his values, his priorities, and his approach to coaching others through their darkest moments. Whether you're an athlete, a coach, or someone facing a difficult path, this episode is a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the transformative potential of strength—inside and out. Join us as we explore what it truly means to be resilient, and how, sometimes, losing everything can lead to a life of even greater purpose.   Key Takeaways: Resilience Is Built Before It's Needed: Jared credits years of training for literally saving his life—his physical and mental strength gave him a fighting chance. Cultivating strength, he says, is the best kind of life insurance. Redefining Identity: When everything you've built is stripped away, you're forced to confront the core of who you are. Jared opens up about the grief of losing his physical capabilities and the deep self-reflection it prompted. He urges us all to diversify our identities beyond just what we do. The Game of Inches: Recovery started not with personal records, but with celebrating the tiniest steps—holding a phone, standing for 30 seconds, building back from two-and-a-half pound plates. The real battle is finding the discipline and optimism to keep going when the wins feel minuscule. The Power of Support: Sometimes, being tough isn't about “doing it all.” Jared shares how leaning on his family, mentors, and broader community was critical—not just physically, but emotionally. Saying Yes to What Matters: Jared's brush with mortality is a powerful reminder to focus on what truly matters—his family, his mission, and savoring the small moments.   This episode of the ARCHITECT of RESILIENCE podcast is available on Apple, Spotify & YouTube, and is sponsored by  @marekhealth : Performance. Longevity. Optimization.

At the core of Jungian psychology lies the concept of individuation, a lifelong journey of growing into one's whole self. It's a process of self-discovery that can feel both inspiring and challenging as each layer of inauthenticity or protective strategy surfaces, then sloughs away. One therapist combines her Jungian background with NARM's spirit of inquiry to help her clients embrace the nature of individuation and reconnect to their unique selves. On this episode of Transforming Trauma, host Emily Ruth welcomes Megan Holm (LMFT), NARM® Master Therapist, and Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner to discuss the beautiful and unsettling unfolding that can occur when we commit to exploring depth within ourselves. The pair also explores where NARM and Jungian psychology overlap––developing the capacity to hold tension that arises with deeper self-exploration and creating space for noticing rather than judging. About Megan Holm: Megan Holm is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), NARM® Master Therapist, and Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner in private practice. She has served as a training assistant in NARM Therapist and Master Therapist Trainings. Megan is currently a training candidate at the International School of Analytical Psychology (ISAP) in Zurich, Switzerland. She continues to see clients in the US, working on themes of relationship patterns, belonging, grief and loss, and self-discovery. Megan is most interested in what Carl Jung calls Individuation: the lifelong process of becoming one's own unique and whole self. It is a process of self-realization and discovery, seeing ourselves as we are rather than as we wish to be. Our symptoms are a door for this work – they invite us to look inwards, to listen to what has gone untended or under-nourished. Fantasy, imagination, and dreams offer further guidance, helping us to see more clearly who we are and what we uniquely bring to the world. Knowing oneself is an undertaking – a humbling journey that Megan feels honored to take together.

The first time Abby Callahan heard Dolly Parton perform live, something clicked. At just 14 years old, watching from the audience with her mother and grandmother, Abby experienced what she describes as an epiphany: "I saw that and I was like, 'oh, that's what I want to do.'" That moment set her on a path from Iowa City to Nashville, where she's now carving out a distinctive space with what she calls "Kaleidoscope Country."Abby's debut EP "Grossly Aware" showcases her remarkable ability to blend Americana, indie pop, bluegrass, and folk into something uniquely her own. Her journey hasn't been straightforward—moving to Nashville during COVID meant isolation instead of the typical music scene immersion. Yet that solitude shaped her songwriting process, leading to deeply personal tracks like "I'll Bring Flowers," which she describes as "journaling when your therapist tells you to write in the morning."When her playful, suggestive song "Mary Jane" went viral, it created both opportunities and pushback. Some questioned whether her music belonged in country, but Abby turns criticism into creative fuel: "When someone says 'you can't do that,' I think, 'I have to prove everyone wrong.'" This determination has taken her from grueling nights playing Broadway bars until 3 AM (then attending 8 AM classes at Belmont) to performances at CMA Fest and Bonnaroo.What stands out most about Abby is her authenticity—her voice doesn't sound like anyone else's, and her lyrics reflect genuine experiences rather than manufactured emotions.

She built a $120 million real estate empire in just four years… and then realized it was destroying her. In this episode, I sit down with Jen Ullrich, a real estate entrepreneur who scaled RV and mobile home parks into a massive portfolio while secretly burning out from 100-hour weeks and 120 days a year on the road. The hustle that made her millions also broke her. So Jen walked away. She put her life in storage, spent seven months traveling the world, and turned to coaching, therapy, and even psychedelic-assisted healing to rediscover herself. Now she's back, building again - this time with purpose, strict boundaries, and AI as her secret weapon to avoid the grind. This is a raw, honest conversation about the hidden cost of chasing success and what it really takes to rebuild on your own terms.

About the Guest: Suzanne Stabile is an esteemed Enneagram teacher and author, widely recognized as an Enneagram master teacher and known as the Enneagram Godmother. With over 35 years of experience studying the Enneagram, Suzanne has authored several influential books including "The Road Back to You: An Enneagram Journey to Self-Discovery," "The Path Between Us: An Enneagram Journey to Healthy Relationships," and "Journey Toward Wholeness." She is also the host of the acclaimed podcast, "The Enneagram Journey." Suzanne's work focuses on helping individuals discover personal growth and improve their relationships through a profound understanding of the Enneagram. Episode Summary: In this enlightening episode of Life After Kids, Drs. Brooke and Lynne sit down with Enneagram master teacher Suzanne Stabile to explore the intricate world of the Enneagram and its profound impact on midlife women and mothers dealing with the empty nest transition. A specialist in personality typology, Suzanne offers her vast wisdom and experience to help the audience understand their behavioral motivations, offering insights into each Enneagram type and how they shape a woman's journey into midlife. The rich discussion encompasses how understanding one's own Enneagram type can foster better self-awareness, deepen familial relationships, and guide mothers into a purposeful, fulfilling second chapter of life. Throughout the conversation, Suzanne delves into the distinct motivations and challenges faced by each Enneagram type, especially in the context of motherhood and self-discovery. Drawing on her extensive research, she details practical ways to identify and work with emotional defaults such as shame, fear, and anger. Suzanne expertly illustrates how these core emotions influence behavior and how tapping into Enneagram wisdom can transform self-awareness into a tool for growth, allowing women to embrace new roles and find relevance beyond parenting. The episode concludes with Suzanne sharing personal anecdotes and practical advice for women aiming to build stronger connections with themselves and their adult children. Key Takeaways: The Enneagram determines personality by motivation, not behavior, and understanding this can help women navigate midlife transitions and parenting adult children. Recognizing your dominant Enneagram number can enhance both personal growth and parenting strategies, allowing a nuanced understanding of family dynamics. Connecting with women from different generations extends perspective and wisdom, equipping mothers to better handle transitions in their lives and relationships. Embracing the idea of life phases as a 'second third' instead of a beginning of the end can reframe a midlife transition positively and hopefully. The Enneagram provides a framework to address the default emotions of shame, fear, and anger, supporting emotional balance and healthier relationships.

Send us a textWhat happens when your entire identity becomes wrapped up in someone else's spotlight? Eileen Noyes knows this journey intimately. From college strength coach to NFL wife overnight, she experienced firsthand how quickly women can lose themselves in the shadows of their relationships.Eileen's story takes us behind the curtain of professional sports families, revealing the intense pressures, identity crises, and impossible standards that come with being "the wife of" someone famous. With raw honesty, she shares how her 16-year marriage to an NFL player ended when he joined an organization promoting harmful beliefs about women, forcing her to completely rebuild her life while raising eight children in the public eye.Now remarried and part of a blended family with a staggering 15 children between them, Eileen has found unexpected connections to the motorsports world through her husband's motorcycle touring company. This surprising link bridges her past experiences with her current life, demonstrating how our journeys often come full circle in unexpected ways.The conversation goes far beyond sports, touching on universal struggles that resonate with women from all walks of life. How do we maintain our sense of self while supporting others? What happens when we've neglected our own dreams for so long we can barely remember them? And most importantly, how do we take those first small steps back toward ourselves?Eileen's message is both challenging and liberating: "We put oxygen masks on others while neglecting ourselves." She encourages women to make "little shifts" – carving out even 15 minutes daily for something that brings personal fulfillment, whether it's learning an instrument, taking walks, or pursuing creative outlets.Ready to move from the sidelines back to the driver's seat of your own life? This conversation offers practical wisdom, heartfelt encouragement, and permission to reclaim the parts of yourself you may have forgotten. Your value extends far beyond your relationships to others – and it's never too late to rediscover who you truly are.Support the showFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/womensmotorsportsnetworkandpodcast INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/womensmotorsportsnetwork/ LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melindarussell/ TIKTOK: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melindarussell/ X: https://x.com/IWMANation FACEBOOK Personal Page: https://www.facebook.com/melinda.ann.russell

What happens when a former Marine becomes a monk for 20 years, then transforms into a pioneering financial advisor? Doug Lynam's extraordinary journey reveals profound truths about our relationship with money that most financial experts never discuss.Growing up in an affluent but emotionally complicated home where his parents weaponized money during their divorce, Doug developed deep-seated negative beliefs about wealth. This led him to reject materialism entirely, first joining the Marines and then taking monastic vows to escape what he saw as a corrupt financial system. The universe had other plans. In a twist of cosmic irony, just three years into his monastic life, the entire monastery went bankrupt—and Doug found himself responsible for solving their financial crisis.This unexpected responsibility became Doug's awakening to the powerful connection between psychology and finance. Over two decades as both monk and math teacher, he developed revolutionary insights about how our personality types shape our financial behaviors. His latest book, "Taming Your Money Monster," uses the Enneagram personality system to explain how each of us develops distinctive "money monsters" based on our core fears and desires.Doug challenges the false choice between spiritual fulfillment and financial success. He argues that rejecting wealth can be just as ego-driven as hoarding it, and that money itself is simply a tool that amplifies who we already are. Most powerfully, he shows how unhealed trauma gets transmitted through our financial decisions, affecting not just ourselves but everyone around us.Whether you're struggling with debt, building wealth, or somewhere in between, Doug's compassionate approach offers a path to healing your relationship with money by first healing your relationship with yourself. By understanding your unique "money monster," you can transform financial management from a source of stress into an expression of your highest purpose.Join the What if it Did Work movement on FacebookGet the Book!www.omarmedrano.comwww.calendly.com/omarmedrano/15min

You didn't choose the roles you're performing — but they're shaping your marriage. This episode helps high-capacity humans break free from inherited scripts and rebuild intimacy through identity, not obligation.If your marriage feels more like a performance than a partnership — this episode will hit home.In Breaking Free from Legacy Roles, Julie Holly exposes the invisible scripts that quietly sabotage even the most well-intentioned relationships. These unspoken roles — often inherited through family, faith, or culture — sound virtuous but lead to disconnection, resentment, and exhaustion.Through story, Scripture, and the ILR lens, Julie invites high-capacity humans to confront the identities they've outgrown — and realign with the truth of who they are.You'll discover:What “legacy roles” are — and how they form through family, faith, culture, and survivalWhy high-capacity humans often over-function in marriage without realizing itHow even healthy marriages suffer when partners unconsciously perform roles like The Fixer, The Provider, or The NurturerSpecific examples of how these scripts show up in real life — from emotional suppression to over-sacrificeHow Julie's personal journey through an abusive marriage shaped her understanding of identity, obedience, and spiritual alignmentWhy success-oriented couples often feel disconnected, even when they “do everything right”How Identity-Level Recalibration helps you dissolve the old roles without destroying what you've builtA practical Micro Recalibration to help you uncover and release your inherited rolesA question for couples to explore how they've co-authored unhealthy scripts — and what new roles are possibleThis episode is not about behavior management.It's not about better communication techniques.It's about recalibrating the root of who you are — so that love, intimacy, and connection can grow from alignment, not obligation.

Reinventing your life or career starts with reflection and conversation. Making the leap — to a new career, to the next stage of a relationship, or to a different version of yourself — requires honest communication. For Ilana Golan, being “leap-ready” requires that we answer three questions: Why me? Why this? And why now?Golan knows all about these leaps, as her career spans corporate executive roles, entrepreneurship, and even F-16 flight instruction. As the founder of Leap Academy and host of the Leap Academy Podcast, she helps equip others to navigate their own personal and professional reinventions. As she says, “It's really about communicating from the vision,” which starts as an inside job. “Why is this the right thing for me right now? You convince yourself first, because when you're [at] peace with what you're trying to do, it's a lot easier to convince others.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Golan and host Matt Abrahams explore how honest communication shapes every stage of reinvention, whether that's listening to the signals your mind and body are sending you — like “sleepwalking through life” and imagining something more — or articulating your pivot in ways that create understanding rather than resistance. Wherever you hope to leap, Golan's insights show how to communicate through change with confidence and clarity.Episode Reference Links:Ilana GolanLeap Academy Podcast | Leap AcademyEp.187 Experimenting, Failing, and Finding Your Job Fit - Catalyze Your CareerEp.147 Disrupt Yourself: How to Innovate Who You Are and Become Who You Can Be  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:39) - Breaking Barriers & Career Patterns (02:18) - Waking Up to Change (03:42) - Signs It's Time for a Pivot (06:45) - The Rise of Portfolio Careers (10:17) - Communicating Career Leaps (13:29) - Finding Clarity in Reinvention (20:01) - The Final Three Questions (22:56) - Conclusion  *****Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you for free.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

396 Curiosity and Authenticity   It is in human nature to be curious, to ask questions, and seek out insight in an attempt to make sense of the world we are thrust into. It is when we craft our own personal board of directors do we get the opportunity to finally seek the answers we crave and in doing so find our own purpose. In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Cole Mannix discuss how curiosity led them to find their authentic selves as well as the many paths their hunger for answers took them on.    Highlights Curiosity and the questions it makes us ask often shape how we grow, even if we don't see where it's taking us at first. Drawing in voices from all over can lead to new perspectives and new questions as well as answers. Although our path can change throughout life, our mission will always remain the same.    Quotes “What you serve really matters.” “What can I give my life to? What is worth the limited time, y'know we all have a limited time, and life no matter what, no matter how rich it is will involve plenty of suffering, and if you decide what's suffering for and what's worth giving yourself over to, sometimes it's multiple things.” “How does the way we do business together allow for flourishing or not.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, What have you been thinking about during this conversation, did anything in particular remind you of something that happened that helped you understand your purpose, your mission, where you can serve. I'd be really curious to hear if something came up for you, if you've developed any kind of clarity around what you want to do next to contribute, to bring your version of reciprocity to your environment and your community. I'd love to hear from you.  And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Cole Cole is part of an extended family that has ranched together since 1882 near Helmville, MT. He did an undergrad in biology, another in philosophy at Carroll College, then a masters in theology at Boston College.

Be sure to check out Cole's LinkedIn, Old Salt, and The Union!   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

In a world obsessed with self-discovery and identity, Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar address the growing belief that we must look inward to define who we are. The guys challenge this cultural message directly, pointing listeners toward the true source of identity and emphasizing that our longing for meaning, worth, and purpose cannot be fulfilled by fleshly desires or self-exploration. Turning inward often results in confusion, depression, and a false sense of identity that ultimately leads to despair. Defining yourself apart from your Creator is not only futile but also a new form of legalism. True identity is not something we achieve but something we receive, and that reception begins with knowing the Lord.There is a foundational truth that you cannot truly know who you are until you understand your origin, as clearly shown in Genesis. The guys explain that people are not random molecules in motion but are created in the image of God. Mark recalls a conversation with his brother, who was struggling to share Jesus with his son. It is in these moments that believers need to revisit the essential questions about identity, origin, and purpose. Oscar outlines three practical ways to know yourself: know God, know your deficiencies, and know how deeply God loves you. True self-awareness begins with God-awareness, and as we encounter His glory, our blind spots are revealed, and our need for Christ becomes evident.The guys also warn about the subtle shifts that can happen—one day walking with the Lord and the next falling into sin. The world encourages us to love ourselves more and pursue our true identity, but scripture calls us to surrender. Oscar highlights a sermon where a woman searching for her identity realized her sense of self could never be fully achieved, only received through Christ. Knowing ourselves as believers includes understanding our strengths, weaknesses, and idols. Several of the guys share how certain things in their lives can easily become idols and how they rely on the Lord instead of external things. Every intense emotion can reveal a more profound love, one that may be misplaced. When those idols are exposed, we are called to dismantle them and enthrone Christ. The guys invite listeners to examine themselves honestly—not with despair, but with hope. Christ is our help and our freedom.In solitude and surrender, we discover who we truly are: redeemed, adopted, and loved. It is not about self-obsession but about submitting to God's will as Jesus did. By laying down our lives, we find them. By letting Christ live through us, we shine His light in a dark and dying world.Send us a textThanks for listening!
