In today's episode, Nancy unpacks one of the most deceptive idols in both culture and the Church—self-expression. Through the lens of Proverbs 4:23 and 1 Corinthians 2:16, she reminds us that the soul—our mind, will, and emotions—was never meant to be the star of the show. It is not our source of identity or truth, but a vessel designed to express the life of God from within. When the soul becomes an idol, we confuse emotion with revelation, personality with identity, and preference with obedience. But when the soul is restored to its proper place under the government of the Spirit, we begin to live in union with the Father—not just positionally, but experientially. This is a clear and compelling call to dethrone the idol of self-expression and allow His voice to become our voice. Thanks for Listening!

In this episode of The Music in Me, I dive deep into the incredible world of Prince — an artist who didn't just make music, but created an entire universe of sound, style, and emotion. From his early days as a young prodigy in Minneapolis to his rise as one of the most iconic performers of all time, Prince was never afraid to be different. He taught us that standing out is something to celebrate, not hide. I'll talk about how songs like “Let's Go Crazy,” “When Doves Cry,” and “Purple Rain” shaped not just the music world, but pop culture itself. I'll share what these songs mean to me personally — how their energy, passion, and message of individuality have always inspired me to be myself, no matter what. Prince wasn't just a singer or a musician; he was a movement. He broke barriers, redefined genres, and left behind a legacy that still shines as bright as ever. So, join me as I celebrate the life, the music, and the magic of a true original — the one and only Prince.ALBUMS MENTIONED...For YouDirty MindControversy1999Purple RainSign o' the TimesDiamonds and PearlsMusicologySONGS MENTIONED..."Purple Rain""When Doves Cry""Let's Go Crazy"What did you think of this episode?

In this episode, I explore what it means to move from the periphery into participation. From lurking and observing to expressing and sharing our voice.I talk about my own journey from being the quiet, shy child hiding behind my parents' legs to learning how powerful it is to speak, to share, and to let myself be seen.I reflect on how our words, compliments, and simple acts of kindness ripple far beyond what we can see and how sharing them nourishes not only others but also ourselves.This is an invitation to take off the invisibility cloak, to stop waiting for the perfect moment to speak, and to remember that our self-expression is vital, regenerative, and deeply human. Whether through words, gestures, creativity, or connection....your voice matters.If you're keen to get started or continue letting go and decluttering in your home, I have something for you that you'll love: ✨ Free Guide to Help You Start Decluttering: A Gentle Guide for Simplifying Your HomeDownload my free guide hereAs always, I'd love to hear your reflections on this episode.

Send us a textIn this episode, we ride through the heart of Southern California's Japanese American car culture with Dr. Oliver Wang, curator of the Cruising J-Town exhibition at the Japanese American National Museum. From the sleek lines of import tuners to the slow roll of classic cruisers through Little Tokyo, we explore how cars became more than machines—they became mirrors of identity, pride, and belonging.Through personal stories and historical snapshots, we uncover how Japanese American communities used car culture to carve out space, style, and self-expression. Whether it's the legacy of lowriders or the rise of the JDM scene, this episode reveals how the road has always been a place to gather, to flex, and to remember.For more information about the Japanese American National Museum, please visit our website at www.janm.org.

Fear is not here to be eliminated but to be understood, embraced, and transcended. In this heartfelt conversation, Meilin Ehlke sits with Emmy Award–winning life coach Rhonda Britten to explore how fear speaks through perfectionism, people-pleasing, procrastination, and negative self-talk, and how we can soften its grip with love and compassion. Together they walk through Rhonda's Wheel of Fear / Wheel of Freedom, discovering how these patterns are not flaws but protective mechanisms waiting to be released. By acknowledging and honoring our fears, we open the door to forgiveness, wholeness, and authentic self-expression. As we embrace our true selves, we bring more courage, kindness, and belonging into the collective field of oneness.**Rhonda Britten is a living example of transformation through fearlessness.** At just 14, she endured a tragic loss that led to years of struggle with shame and fear. Out of that pain, she discovered a path to freedom — creating her groundbreaking **Wheel of Fear / Wheel of Freedom** method. Today, she is an **Emmy-winning life coach, bestselling author, and founder of the Fearless Living Institute**, guiding thousands to break free from fear and step into their true selves. What I love most about Rhonda is that her wisdom comes from lived experience — she embodies the freedom she teaches, reminding us that fear can become the gateway to oneness. 00:08:53 Embracing Fear for Transformation and Connection 00:11:39 Embracing Authenticity: Dissolving Fears for Self-Expression 00:14:55 Reframing Fear Responses for Self-Acceptance 00:20:11 Embracing Fear for Personal Growth and Connection 00:32:22 Navigating Fear with the Wheel of Freedom 00:42:55 Interconnected Kindness: Self-Love Through Oneness 00:48:29 Cultivating Self-Love for Positive Transformation 00:48:55 Embracing Courage and Breaking Self-Limiting Beliefs 00:57:47 Fear Dissolution for Authentic Growth with Rhonda Britten Connect with Rhonda Britten: https://www.instagram.com/rhondabritten https://fearlessliving.org ~ * ~ ~ * ~ ~ * ~ ~ * ~You are invited to bring your wisdom and powerful energy over to our Fb group where you can share it with us and others.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Joanna Blair, an artist and creative guide who helps people reconnect with themselves through the power of art, imagination, and self-expression. Joanna shares how creativity becomes more than a skill — it's a pathway to emotional release, resilience, and authentic living. This conversation explores how art can nurture mental well-being, transform grief into healing, and create deeper alignment between mind, body, and spirit. Whether you are an artist, a professional seeking balance, or someone searching for a creative outlet, Joanna's insights show how reconnecting with our inner artist helps us build stronger emotional health and live with greater purpose. About the Guest Joanna Blair is a visual artist, mentor, and creative well-being advocate. Through her work, she encourages people to use creativity as a tool for healing, mindfulness, and personal transformation. Joanna blends her artistic journey with practical guidance to help others unlock their imagination and find deeper self-connection. Key Takeaways for Listeners Creativity is not limited to professional artists — it is a natural human expression available to everyone. Making art can serve as a form of emotional regulation, reducing stress and supporting mental health. Art transforms grief and trauma into growth by giving feelings a safe space to move and release. Allowing self-expression without judgment helps people return to authenticity and inner peace. Developing a creative practice — whether through painting, journaling, or simple doodling — builds resilience and clarity in everyday life. Community and shared creative experiences foster belonging and connection, helping individuals feel less isolated. Imagination is a bridge between the conscious and unconscious mind, making creativity a form of mindfulness. Choosing creativity over perfection encourages self-acceptance and joy in the process, not just the result.

Gabe Marusca is the host of the Authority in the Wild podcast, who speaks with entrepreneurs worldwide. However he struggles to feel this same ease when speaking in groups of native English speakers as well as in front of large audiences. This holds him back from making new connections at conferences and other events, or from speaking comfortably on stage.In our coaching session, we unpacked the root beliefs behind Gabe's anxiety. The result? At his next conference in Bucharest, he was able to converse with some of the most influential podcast hosts in Europe, including Steven Bartlett - the host of Diary of a CEO.Before our session, this kind of situation would have triggered a panic in Gabe, but this time, it all felt smooth and natural.Listen to our coaching call to hear what we did and how it relates to your own speaking anxiety.Click here to check the full show notes.

Aaron and I met after I got to see a screening of his recent short animated film Snow Bear. I knew about Aaron's achievements from participating in some of the biggest animated movies of all time. I expected to talk about art, creativity, and expression, topics I love. We did, after first hitting on leadership, especially empathy.He started by sharing his growth as an animator and director at Disney. Soon enough we dove into talking about the overlap between leadership and things he loved about his career: directing, teamwork, self-expression, and empathy. We talked about being generous, what it takes to get the best out of a team, and how it feels when you do. We distinguished leadership from authority and how many people confuse them.You'll hear we both enjoyed the richness and depth of our exploration of similar passions from different directions. Plus you'll hear the back story Snow Bear that gives it its richness and depth.Aaron's web page Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
What happens when you start outsourcing your inner wisdom to a tarot guidebook, a well-meaning friend, or (gasp) an AI tool? You risk silencing your own magic. And when a witchy woman self-silences, she dims the very light that makes her energy powerful and her life authentically hers.In part three of the Sovereignty in the Digital Age series, we're moving into the heart chakra and throat chakra - your centers of self-love, self-worth, and self-expression - to explore how to protect your voice, your truth, and your confidence in a world where AI and algorithms are louder than ever.Here's what we'll cover:✨ Self-love vs. self-rejection: why loving yourself in all your imperfect, radiant humanness is a revolutionary act in a culture obsessed with optimization✨ Self-expression vs. self-silencing: how to speak your truth unapologetically, even when AI filters and social media likes try to define what “good” looks like✨ How to use technology as a tool: without letting it rewrite your worth, your story, or your magicWhether you're crafting spells by moonlight or experimenting with the latest AI app, you can hold both your spiritual sovereignty and your curiosity for new tools. The secret? Leading with self-rulership, self-trust, and that unshakable knowing that only you hold the magic that makes your life your own.Because in this era of Pluto in Aquarius, it's not just about keeping up with change—it's about making sure your magic is what leads the way.

What is the heart of Leo?How does personal transformation contribute to collective sovereignty?What does it mean to choose joyous, authentic self-expression in late-stage capitalism?In this episode, I invited healing medium and award-winning composer Eric Schackne to explore the archetype of Leo, their Sun sign. We discussed themes of shifting identities and multi-dimensional healing & artistic practices through the lens of Leo, filtered through the Chandra symbols for Eric's Sun, Mercury, and Mars placements in Leo.Eric's warmth, generosity, and regal sense of humor really came through in this conversation, and I couldn't stop smiling whenever I revisit this conversation.Here's Eric's bio:Eric Schackne is a healing medium, energetic channeler, spaceholder, organizer, teacher, student, award-winning composer, producer, and fifteen other things. They are the queerest straight-faced goof you will ever meet and thrive when able to weave levity and humor into their heart-centered facilitation style.Lands and waters that have held and shaped Eric are ancestral to the Tequesta, Miccosukee, Seminole, Mascogo, Taíno(Florida) and Tataviam, Tongva, Chumash(Los Angeles). Eric's praxis is guided by animist and ecological frameworks, Indigenous precepts, somatic abolitionist and collective liberatory practices, and a bunch of other juicy buzzwords.In 2023 Eric opened their practice for healing and divination called Trans Alchemy as a way to provide access to healing spaces and be useless to capitalism.
