Send us a textThis week on Leave Your Mark, I sit down with Jovica Savic, a Serbian immigrant whose family fled war and hatred in the 1990s, finding refuge in Canada.What he shares isn't just a story of survival — it's a reminder. A reminder of what this country means to those who arrive with nothing but hope. A reminder of the opportunity and safety we sometimes take for granted.His perspective will make you stop and think about what “home” really is — and why we should protect and nurture it.Catch my Substack "The Grey Area Journal" where this week's blog is called Love More, Hate Less, and it's inspired by Jovica's journey. https://open.substack.com/pub/livingstons/p/the-bag-is-empty?r=2m2lsi&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=falsePlease enjoy the pod!If you liked this EP, please take the time to rate and comment, share with a friend, and connect with us on social channels IG @Kingopain, TW @BuiltbyScott, LI+FB Scott Livingston.

402 Freedom in Healing Throughout life we may make decisions, or be subject to decisions made involving us. Whether it's first or second hand, inevitably we begin to believe in a pattern in the behavior around us, oftentimes leading to self doubt and worse. However, if we keep moving forward, actively choosing to make the best of a situation, to learn and grow in order to better ourselves for ourselves, we will find our freedom in healing.   In today's episode, Sarah Elkins and Holli Tabren McEachern discuss the importance of growth, healing, and the honesty that comes with self reflection. Honesty not just with the world, but with yourself and what has happened to make you feel the way you do, and how it triggers you.    Highlights Empathy in a world of cruelty is the bravest rebellion.  How have you been programmed?  Have you ever encountered favoritism?  What choices are you making that reflect your behavior? Do you feel like you have to justify these choices?   Quotes “I think it's because we look at society, and we look at the grandma with the grandkids and the grandma always spoils the grandkids. You have this program, like your program, program from the way things are. Program from the way everybody does things.”    “And God, he prepares you for what's next. You don't know it's preparation. You don't realize that all these things that happen in your life, even the bad choices you make, will prepare you for the next thing.”  “You have to change you before anything in the situation can change.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, Where are you incarcerated? What are you choosing not to see in your own decisions? That maybe with a little light on them can help you find more satisfaction and happiness in your life. It's a simple question, but the answer might be tricky. And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Holli Holli Tabren is an author, speaker, mentor, and reentry specialist dedicated to helping women rebuild their lives and reclaim their power after incarceration. Once sentenced to 25 years in prison, she served 10 years before her case was overturned transforming her pain into purpose. Holli now leads the Becoming HER Framework—Healed, Extraordinary, Resilient—through workshops, books, and her soon-to-launch app, equipping justice-impacted women with tools for healing, entrepreneurship, and resilience. She is the author of Blood Ain't Thicker, The Path2Redemption Anthology, and her newest release, Becoming HER. Featured on national stages and news outlets, Holli shares her story of transformation as living proof that freedom isn't just about release; it's about rebuilding.

And be sure to check out her website Holli Tabren!   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!

Sunday Morning Live Donors Stream 31 August 2025Stefan Molyneux explore the complexities of mental health, challenging the prevalent notion that conditions like depression are merely a result of chemical imbalances in the brain. Reflecting on his 2011 lecture, he discusses the heavy reliance on SSRIs by a significant portion of the American population and the lack of compelling evidence supporting the chemical imbalance theory. He raises important questions about personal responsibility in mental health and the societal tendency to attribute unhappiness to biochemical causes rather than examining deeper moral and psychological factors. Emphasizing the importance of self-reflection and moral clarity, he advocates for a more nuanced understanding of emotional struggles that goes beyond quick pharmaceutical fixes. Ultimately, he encourages listeners to embrace personal accountability and confront uncomfortable truths to foster genuine growth and fulfillment.SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Send us a textHave you ever said yes just to avoid an argument? You take it on, you promise you'll change, you nod along. Even though inside you're thinking, “I can't keep doing this.” That's not weakness. That's an agreement that needs a closer look.Last week we shared part one of this two-part series from The Better Love Club on how real connection is created. In part two, we're looking at what blocks it: unhealthy agreements. We're sharing these replays while Tom and I are in Italy checking out the venue for our 2026 couples retreat.A quick note for our Better Love Club community: all student voices have been removed to protect privacy.This is Love Shack Live, the podcast for people at a relationship crossroads.

Maybe you promised to stop bringing up money. Or to be the one who always texts first. Or to say yes to intimacy when you don't feel close. On the outside, it looks fine. Inside, it feels heavy and exhausting. Today I'll show you how to tell when an agreement isn't serving you and how to shift it without turning it into a blowup.Today's question: What happens when you stop saying a tired yes and start speaking one true sentence instead?We'll explore:The difference between talking and true connection (and why “performing” closeness backfires)How to spot the hidden cost of people-pleasing: resentment, shutdown, and that “I'm disappearing” feelingWhy flexibility in agreements creates safety instead of chaosA simple reveal/witness framework to help you change a deal without lighting a matchLanguage you can borrow to own your part, name what's changed, and propose something betterTry this while you listen: Notice where your body says “no” while your mouth says “okay.” That's your cue to test a more true sentence.By the end, you'll have one sentence to replace an exhausted yes. What shifts when you say it out loud?Ready to Learn What to Say (and Not Say) During Space?If your partner has asked for space, communication can feel like walking a tightrope.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) speaks to Mikael a life coach, who shares his transformative journey from a corporate finance career to becoming a life coach. Initially studying clinical psychology, he worked in New York City post-9/11, dealing with trauma and addiction. His turning point came when he started practicing yoga, which led him to quit his job and pursue yoga full-time. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/michael-kohan        Highlights from today's episode include: Michael explains the true role of a life coach is not to tell clients what to do, but to teach them self-awareness and the skills to make their own decisions, helping them understand and realign their beliefs and habits for authentic growth.  Michael says finding the “space between the breath”—moments of self-reflection and stillness—is essential for breaking out of constant stimulation and overwhelm, allowing for genuine self-awareness and personal change.  Manon says simple things, like connecting with nature or community, are often the most powerful for well-being, even though society tends to undervalue simplicity in favor of complexity.   ABOUT MICHAEL KOHAN: Michael Kohan is an I.C.F Certified Life Coach who wakes up each morning with a simple purpose: to help others rediscover their powerful inner strengths and give clients and students the tools they need to make more meaningful decisions to Aim Higher and Elevate Their Lives.  In 2015, he founded The Elevate Life Project, an online community for people to re-discover their true selves and gain the skills to move forward and find lasting success.  Michael is dedicated to helping his clients and students find balance in all aspects of their lives—emotional, spiritual, mental, and physical well-being. He feels his purpose is to serve others through his teaching by encouraging students and clients to become steadfast in their practices while integrating spiritual and mindful living into their day-to-day lives to achieve their goals, live their dreams, and achieve the impossible. Core purpose/passion: My core purpose is to be a devoted student of personal awareness, continually exploring the depths of my thoughts, emotions, and behaviors with curiosity and compassion. I believe that true growth begins with self-understanding, and I'm committed to walking that path every day. Through Dialectical Behavior Therapy; coaching, I share the insights I gain—not as someone who has all the answers, but as someone walking alongside others. I teach what I learn, offering practical tools for emotional regulation, mindfulness, and meaningful change, empowering others to build lives rooted in self-awareness, resilience, and authentic connection.

Will AI Steal Your Soul? Host Tina Yeager sits down with Dr. Drew Dickens, an expert in theological anthropology and founder of the Encountering Peace app and podcast. Together, they tackle the captivating and sometimes unnerving question: "Will AI Steal Your Soul?" In an age where technology and artificial intelligence are evolving rapidly, Tina and Dr. Dickens address Christian perspectives ranging from hopeful embrace to genuine fear—and everything in between. They unpack what truly distinguishes humanity from machines, examining our unique spiritual dimension, creativity, and self-awareness, while exploring the allure and dangers of allowing digital innovations to shape our faith journeys. Listen in as Dr. Dickens shares practical advice on using AI responsibly, warns against the spiritual "sloth" that can emerge from overreliance on technology, and offers tools and meditations to help ground listeners in their relationship with God. Whether you're curious, cautious, or overwhelmed by the digital tide, this episode is packed with wisdom, encouragement, and actionable insights to help you flourish in your spiritual life—even in a tech-driven world. Episode highlights: ✨ AI, Faith & Fear: Dr. Dickens explores why many Christians find themselves oscillating between embracing, fearing, and being overwhelmed by the rapid pace of AI's evolution. He encourages us to step back and examine technology objectively, rather than being led only by emotion or popular culture. ✨ What Makes Us Human? The discussion dives deep into the essential qualities that separate humans from machines—our God-given ability to create and our unique self-awareness. Dr. Dickens highlights the difference between true spiritual interaction and the imitation of it by artificial intelligence. ✨ The Spiritual Cost of Convenience: Are digital tools making us spiritually lazy? Research reveals we're losing some ability to think critically and, spiritually, we risk letting AI stand in for genuine reflection, prayer, and relationship with God. ✨ Using AI Wisely in Your Faith Walk: Both Tina and Dr. Dickens agree: technology itself isn't evil, but we must check ourselves. Are we using AI to support our faith journey—or to avoid the hard but rewarding work of carrying our cross each day? ✨ Practical Spiritual Habits: Intentionality is key. Dr. Dickens reminds us to carve out time for prayer, community, and “unplugged” connection—acts fundamental to flourishing in faith despite our increasingly busy, tech-filled lives. Resources Mentioned: Encountering Peace App & Podcast: Experience guided Christian meditations designed to help you reconnect with stillness and the Spirit. Free resources, daily devotionals, and support for your spiritual muscles await at encounteringpeace.com. New Podcast: AI and Spirituality: Stay updated on how spiritual practice intersects with the latest tech changes. Search “AI and Spirituality” wherever you get your podcasts! Final Thought: As Dr. Dickens shares, beware of “acedia”—the subtle spiritual laziness that can creep in when we hand off our deepest work to technology. Each day, choose to lean in and do the good, sometimes difficult, work of nurturing your soul. We're thrilled to accompany you on this journey of faith, growth, and transformation.

Whether that be leaving your hometown or simply stepping into a new field, we must challenge ourselves to unlock our true potential.  In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Sarah Degn discuss how important it is to spread your own wings and to travel outside of your comfort zone and to find who you are through your own skills and knowledge.    Highlights Leaving home behind to pursue your dreams. It's never too late to try and to explore. Learning and growing as an individual to in turn help your community.   Quotes “You can come back, just the reminder that yes you absolutely should go experience something beyond your small town.” “You just need to find the new opportunities and things that are missing.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, Sarah and I spoke for nearly an hour about what it's like to explore our identities through our youth and maybe come back home, and find out what life is like and how our identities can be shaped by our environments and by the things that we think are important. We talked about what it's like to travel and tell people our story so that they uncover their own stories and that they can understand truly what the rest of the world could look like. It was full of inspiration and ideas and now I want to know, what will you do with this? What was one thing that stood out in this conversation? I'd love to hear from you.    And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Sarah Degn Sarah is a fourth generation farmer near Sidney, MT.

As well as The Montana Farmers Union, and The National Farmers Union!   About Sarah Elkins "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.

When parenting teenagers becomes a battleground between parents, everyone suffers—including your teen. Dr. Cam and couples therapist Dr. Tracy Dalgleish tackle the common problem of parental division, where one parent becomes the “tough one” while the other takes on the “soft” role, creating conflict that teens often exploit. This episode reveals why parents frequently end up on opposite sides of the parenting spectrum, especially during the teenage years when stakes feel higher and emotions run deeper. The experts explain how family triangulation occurs—when relationship tension between parents gets redirected toward the teenager, creating dysfunction for everyone involved. Key insights include understanding that both parents typically share the same core values and goals for their children, even when their approaches differ dramatically. The solution isn't forcing identical parenting styles, but rather establishing shared values while allowing different expressions of those values. Dr. Tracy emphasizes the critical importance of relationship repair—acknowledging mistakes and their impact—as a foundational skill for both marriage and parenting. Parents learn practical strategies for supporting each other even during disagreements, including validation techniques and behind-the-scenes communication that maintain unity. The discussion addresses common challenges like shame spirals, resentment over unequal parenting burdens, and interference from extended family members. Most importantly, parents discover that focusing on their own relationship with their teen—rather than trying to control their partner's approach—creates more positive outcomes for everyone involved.

Lane Kawaoka  - The Wealth Elevator On the Reaching Higher Wealth Floors: "For some people out there, above a few million dollars net worth, time is more valuable than money. It's not the pursuit of money anymore, but it's the pursuit of trading in the money for the experiences." One of the most important things to know when building your wealth is to use the tools that are available to you.  Interestingly, the tools available to you grow as your wealth increases.  This means you need to build your awareness of opportunities, as you build your wealth. Lane Kawaoka, founder of The Wealth Elevator and a seasoned real estate investor, helps build that awareness to educate people that are in wealth building mode. Lane started out like most of us, as a young worker-bee, blindly following the traditional path—working a W-2 job, saving up for a house, and living frugally.  Realizing he wanted more and more was out there, he moved to discovering the power of cash flow and passive income through real estate investing. Starting with a single rental property, Lane scaled his investment portfolio strategically and ultimately transitioned from hands-on property management to larger commercial deals and passive investments. Lane and James dive deep into the nuts and bolts of real estate, including how to evaluate a property with the rent-to-value ratio, why market selection and insider knowledge are critical, and how networking with the right crowd can redefine your investment trajectory. Lane breaks down key concepts like forced appreciation, the difference between Class A, B, and C properties, and the barriers to entry that can be both a curse and a blessing in the business. Listen as Lane explains the value of knowing what opportunities are available to you at the floor you are on in the wealth elevator. Enjoy!

Got a property manager started to rent it out. And that was kind of where I got this taste of cash flow. And that was back in 2009, 2010. And when I mean the numbers, you look at this thing called the rent to value ratio, where you take the monthly rents divided by the purchase price. If that is not anywhere near 1% or higher, it's not going to work. You know, like, it might be a great place to live, great school district, but, you know, we're trying to find good rental properties that cash flow. And that was kind of why I started to buy these turnkey rentals. Lane Kawaoka [00:00:32]: Out in Birmingham, Atlanta, Indianapolis.

If you're ready to rethink what your brand says about you and how it can fuel your next chapter, this is the conversation you need to hear.We welcome Jess Jensen from Co-pilot Communications, a female-owned personal branding and executive communications expert, based in Oregon. We have a conversation that goes far beyond marketing strategy. Jess shares her unique approach to building authentic executive brands, helping leaders tap into their stories, define the legacies they want to leave, and connect meaningfully with both their teams and broader audiences. Jess offers a 25-minute consultation that can be booked directly via her website. She also mentions a free LinkedIn profile review for Spirit of EQ listeners (October/November availability — just mention the podcast when booking).Together, we explore the intersection of emotional intelligence and personal branding, why vulnerability and storytelling build trust, and how anyone—not just corporate execs—can benefit from thinking intentionally about their “brand.” Jess also offers actionable steps for getting started, insight from her time in the tech industry, and a few musical analogies that perfectly hit the right note. For those wondering about practical steps, Jess offered a high-level outline of her five-step process for brand building:Define your primary audience—who are you really trying to reach? Clarifying their needs and challenges is crucial before anything else.Craft your narrative platform—determine two to four key “story territories” (often business-related, leadership philosophy, and personal/passion areas) that form the pillars of your brand.Architect intentional content that reinforces those narratives, staying focused despite the temptation to react or go off-brand.Master one digital platform at a time, whether audio, LinkedIn, or another channel, and only expand as you gain confidence and rhythm.Build relationships in the comments and interactions—don't just broadcast, but truly foster a two-way conversation that builds community and trust.In each episode, Jeff and Eric will talk about what emotional intelligence, or understanding your emotions, can do for you in your daily and work life.
