This is actually Caroline's third time being on Unleash! I was quite honored that she, someone who I see as a fully unleashed person, wanted to be coached. It's a reminder that everyone needs someone to see, guide and believe in them--that often times, that's how they got there in the first place, and that's how they continue to grow. This coaching session helped Caroline figure out a part of her creativity she didn't even know she desired so deeply.

What we should and shouldn't expect from life and love is explored by Sheran James on The Sharin' Hour on KX FM

"Spirituality is like nuclear fission—it has the power to illuminate and energize but also to destroy when mishandled." — Dan Koch"Thriving isn't about a perfect life; it's about alignment between our deepest values and our lived reality." — Dan KochOn our path to spiritual health, we need to keep our eyes open to the ways religion and spirituality have been exploited to coerce, control, and create chaos. Focusing on the intersection of religion and psychology, licensed therapist, researcher, and podcaster Dan Koch is creating a public conversation about spiritual harm and abuse, helping victims learn how to deal with spiritual trauma, and offering insight and guidance toward healthy religious and spiritual experiences.From his own personal journey of religious trauma to his extensive research on spiritual abuse, Dan shares insights on how faith communities can both wound and restore. The conversation covers the psychological impact of religious trauma, the complexities of self-diagnosis, and practical strategies for self-knowledge and healing for anyone who has wrestled with faith, struggled with past church experiences, or have lost their religion.In this conversation with Dan Koch, we discuss:The psychological study of spiritual abuse and harm, including conceptual definitions and the many factors that come along with them.The symptoms and most recognizable patterns that point to spiritual abuseThe impact of abuse and trauma on psychological and spiritual healthHow to reappraise and challenge harmful core beliefsAnd how to find healing, joy, and transcendence as we deal with past trauma.Spirituality: Pro-Social Benefits, with a Shadow Side of Harm, Exploitation, and ViolenceThrough With & For, as well as the broader work of The Thrive Center, we regularly explore the expansive benefits and positives that emerge from our inherent spirituality as human beings, and how that relates to our individual and collective thriving.Religion and spirituality can be an immense force for good, offering countless pro-social benefits to the world, helping us our innate spiritual capacities is an essential factor in what it means to thrive.But we have to acknowledge the harm and vice and corruption—the violence— that has been perpetrated through religious and spiritual contexts. Spiritual abuse is a serious matter and there's no way we can cultivate a full understanding or integrated experience of healthy spirituality without coming to terms with its prevalence and effects.Dan Koch's attention to spiritual harm and abuse is about clearing the way toward a healthier spirituality grounded in care and healing. By exposing and exploring past traumas in the context of heathy and respectful relationships, we can grow into a more joyful faith and transcendent spiritual life.About Dan KochDan Koch is a licensed therapist supporting patients working through the trauma of spiritual abuse; and his work and insight in this domain emerges from his empirical research. He's also host of the You Have Permission podcast. With a background in philosophy and theology, he explores questions of faith, doubt, and spiritual well-being. His research focuses on the psychological effects of religious trauma and how individuals can heal from spiritual abuse.Find more of his work at dankochwords.com.You can find his podcast, You Have Permission wherever you listen to podcasts and find exclusive episodes at patreon.com/dankoch.Helpful Links and ResourcesDan Koch's WebsiteJoin Dan Koch's PatreonYou Have Permission PodcastDan Koch's Research on Spiritual AbuseThe Spiritual Harm and Abuse Scale Clinical ScreenerDevelopment of the Spiritual Harm and Abuse Scale (Article, May 2022)Quotable"I would just distinguish between self-knowledge and self-diagnosis—one leads to growth, the other can lead to unnecessary fear.""Avoidance is both a symptom of trauma and a cause of it—it keeps the rest of the symptoms around.""Spirituality is like nuclear fission—it has the power to illuminate and energize but also to destroy when mishandled.""You can't worship a villain—when spiritual abuse distorts your image of God, it becomes almost impossible to stay in faith.""Thriving isn't about a perfect life; it's about alignment between our deepest values and our lived reality."Show NotesDan Koch on spiritual abuse, religious trauma, and healingHow beliefs about God shape emotional well-beingPractical self-knowledge exercises to promote healingThe impact of fear-based religious teachings on mental healthStrategies for deconstructing harmful religious experiencesUnderstanding Spiritual Abuse and Religious TraumaDefinition and key elements of spiritual abuseDifference between spiritual harm and abuseThe role of power, control, and coercion in religious settingsHow religious trauma manifests in daily lifeConnection between religious trauma and PTSDThe Psychological and Emotional Impact of Religious TraumaThe interplay between faith, fear, and mental healthThe long-term effects of toxic religious teachingsHow avoidance perpetuates trauma symptomsSelf-diagnosis vs. self-awareness in spiritual healingThe importance of challenging harmful core beliefsPractical Strategies for Self-Knowledge and HealingDan Koch's guided self-knowledge exerciseHow breath work can regulate anxiety from spiritual traumaRecognizing and reframing harmful core beliefsThe power of contemplative practices in spiritual healingUsing evidence-based approaches to reconstruct faithHow Churches and Communities Can Foster Spiritual HealthHow leadership can avoid coercive controlCreating spaces for questioning and spiritual growthThe importance of transparency in religious institutionsEncouraging self-agency in spiritual communitiesRedefining authority and spiritual guidance in a healthy wayPam King's Key TakeawaysSpirituality is like nuclear fission: its incredible power can be harnessed for abundant good that is essential to thriving, but when it is exploited or used irresponsibly, the fallout is catastrophic for human well-being.Thriving is an integrative process that can be better understood and better lived when we draw from psychological, philosophical, and theological sources.Sometimes our core beliefs are the source of spiritual harm and trauma, and these can be reframed, reappraised, and challenged—aligning us with self-respect, truth, and love.

In this episode of Landscapes Unmuted, Divine and Maci explore the concept of success, and redefining it. They discuss the traditional stereotypes of success and the challenges they present to keeping people in the field. The conversation emphasizes the need to redefine success to include personal well-being, work-life balance, and community impact. Then they close out the episode by sharing their definitions of success, celebrating achievements, and sharing their dreams for the future.⁠Remesha Design Lab⁠@design_unmuted⁠The Landscape Nerd⁠@thelandscapenerdKey ThemesRedefining success is essential for more diverse perspectives in Landscape Architecture.Exploitation in the industry begins during education, where students are expected to prioritize work over well-being.The narrative of needing decades of experience to be considered good is limiting and harmful. Redefining success involves finding balance and joy.Dream big.Success is a personal journey that evolves.Chapters08:11 Challenging Stereotypes of Success14:38 The Impact of Gender Dynamics on Success19:55 Understanding Exploitation in the Field30:40 Personal Redefinitions of Success39:01 The Shift from Production to Impact45:05 CenteringJoy and Balance49:52 Collaboration and Self-Knowledge in Success57:20 Celebrating Achievements and Community01:01:47 Dreaming Big: Personal Aspirations and GoalsKeywords for the algorithm success, landscape architecture, International Women's Day, gender dynamics, exploitation, redefining success, personal growth, career challenges, work-life balance, community impact, creative work, emotional toll, redefining success, joy, balance, collaboration, self-knowledge, self-discovery, community, personal aspirations

8th Sunday - CIt's not easy to admit our faults, but by examining our consciences and going to regular confession, we can grow in grace and virtue. 

BOO! I'm the ghost of your creative past, and I have one question for you: Do you have unfinished projects haunting you in creative purgatory? What if I told you they're the KEY to getting Unstuck?Have you ever abandoned a creative project, only to forget it existed? What if your best idea is already sitting in your notes, voice memos, or sketchbook—unfinished, unseen, and full of potential?In this episode, I take you inside my own creative ‘graveyard'—a place filled with forgotten voice memos and half-finished songs. What I found completely shocked and inspired me… and it might do the same for you.

“God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27). The Catechism teaches us about man's God-given dignity and unique place in creation. Fr. Mike explains the unity that exists between all persons, and how this necessitates a “law of human solidarity and charity.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 355-361. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/ciy Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

In this episode of The Beyond Strength Show, Todd Bumgardner and Chris Merritt explore the concept of self-care, particularly in the context of fitness and personal growth. They discuss the importance of defining one's values and purpose, the need for long-term thinking in achieving fitness goals, and the common misconceptions surrounding self-care. The dialogue emphasizes that true self-care involves making decisions that may not feel good in the moment but are beneficial in the long run. They also highlight the significance of consistency, the role of motivation, and the necessity of understanding one's values to navigate challenges effectively.The Self-Care Lie Article Series:Part 1Part 2Part 3Part 4Chapters00:00 - The Journey of Self-Care and Fitness00:59 - Getting back to training after the flu06:35 - The Self-Care Lie08:15 - How will you feel in 10?09:02 - How the self-care article turned into a 4-part series23:54 - Defining Values and Long-Term Goals28:49 - The Importance of Showing Up29:06 - Values and Purpose in Decision Making30:26 - Choosing the Version of Yourself You Want to Be32:13 - Taking Action: The Small Steps Matter33:24 - Understanding Trade-offs and Sacrifices34:43 - Self-Care and Long-term Goals36:22 - The Role of Self-Knowledge in Fitness39:14 - Creating a Supportive Environment41:09 - Building Habits Beyond Motivation43:04 - Navigating Short-term vs Long-term Goals44:34 - The Value of Rest and Recovery46:46 - Emerging Values and Goals49:31 - The Miracle Question: Defining Success52:51 - Integrating Values into Daily Decisions

Creativity is one of those anchors-to-windward in unsettled and worrisome times. So is a hands-on, creative project – with bonus points for working with organic materials (natural fibers, clay, or – flowers)! Just in time for Valentine's Day, and all the spring events cascading from there in the coming months, we're joined this week by a woman who has artistry, creativity, and hands-on project inspiration in spades to share with us – Passionflower Sue is our guest – and her work might be the end of January inspiration and gift to yourself you didn't know you needed – but I knew. Passionflower Sue, aka Sue McLeary, is an artist. Very specifically an artist with flowers, and she thinks you probably are too. Whether you're a professional florist, a friend helping friends with flowers, a parent helping a child (and all their friends) with their corsages and boutonnieres, or a gardener looking to have fun with flowers for your table or your hair, you're going to enjoy meeting Sue in conversation this week. With a long career in floristry, from designing to event management, to sustainable floristry advocacy and lots of teaching, Sue believes that floristry is an art form, and those of us engaged in it are artists! She “aims to offer immediately useful and relevant educational information that equips and empowers florists- allowing them to express their creativity and make what they crave to see.” She believes (and I am with her): “When we harness our creativity, we create more interesting, artful work that fills us and lifts us.” Her goal is to empower the floristry artist. And it's her “passion to help push floristry forward!” Having had the great pleasure of attending events and learning from Sue – it is my even greater pleasure to welcome her to Cultivating Place this week. Cultivating Place now has a donate button! We thank you so much for listening over the years and we hope you'll support Cultivating Place. We can't thank you enough for making it possible for this young program to grow even more of these types of conversations. The show is available as a podcast on SoundCloud and iTunes.

We've all been there - standing at the edge of a dream, a goal, or a challenge, paralyzed by the fear of failure. Maybe it's starting that business, learning a new skill, or making a major life change. But what if I told you that your biggest failures could become your greatest teachers? Today, we're diving deep into why taking that first step and failing is infinitely more valuable than playing it safe on the sidelines. I've experienced this firsthand time and time again. Failure isn't just a stepping stone to success - it's the secret ingredient most people miss. So, let's break down the five surprising reasons why failing at something is actually the best thing that could happen to your personal growth journey.

THE TWEET: https://x.com/OGRolandRat/status/1870867316956643703In this episode, I explore the complexities of public perception and the role of self-knowledge in handling criticism as a public figure. I recount my return to Twitter, sharing insights on how emotional responses can skew perspectives during public scrutiny. Drawing from my experiences with being "canceled," I emphasize the importance of understanding our emotions in relation to moral philosophy and self-examination. I argue that a strong foundation in self-knowledge allows for reframing discomfort into opportunities for growth, advocating for reason and virtue over fleeting emotional reactions.
