Have you ever stopped to consider that your children are not meant to become who you imagined… but who they already are?In this episode of Sarah's Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg reflects on the timeless wisdom of Khalil Gibran's writing on parenthood and why his words continue to resonate so deeply more than a century later. She explores the emotional tension between loving our children fiercely while also learning to release control over who they become.Sarah unpacks the powerful idea that children do not belong to us, but come through us, each carrying their own thoughts, identity, purpose, and path. She reflects on how easily love can become projection, expectation, or protection, and why true parenting asks us to remain curious about our children instead of trying to shape them into versions that feel safer or more familiar to us.You'll learn:Why parenting is about guiding, not controllingHow expectations can quietly interfere with a child's sense of selfThe deeper meaning behind Khalil Gibran's metaphor of the bow and arrow.This episode is a gentle reminder that parenting is not about creating someone in your image, but about supporting someone in becoming fully themselves. Your children are not here to live your story. They are here to live their own. And perhaps one of the greatest acts of love is learning how to hold them softly enough that they can eventually fly.Purchase Sarah's book: Living A Life Of Greatness here.To purchase Living A Life of Greatness outside Australia here or here.Watch A Life of Greatness Episodes On Youtube here.Sign up for Sarah's newsletter (Greatness Guide) here.Purchase Sarah's Meditations here.Instagram: @sarahgrynberg Website: https://sarahgrynberg.com/Facebook: facebook.com/sarahgrynbergTwitter: twitter.com/sarahgrynberg Hosted on Acast.

In this solo episode, Madelyn shares an unexpected moment sparked by Justin Bieber that led her into a powerful conversation around authenticity, identity, and the versions of ourselves we often leave behind in the pursuit of growth.This is not about becoming someone entirely new or constantly chasing the next version of yourself. It is about recognising that so much of your magic already exists within you, and that sometimes the key to your future self is found in reconnecting with the parts of you that felt the most free, joyful, creative, and unapologetically authentic.Follow Magnetic with Madelyn → https://www.instagram.com/magneticwithmadelynIn this episode, we cover:Why your past self may hold the key to your future selfThe unexpected Justin Bieber moment that sparked this reflectionHow identity shifts can sometimes disconnect us from authenticityWhy personal growth is not always about becoming someone newThe importance of honouring past versions of yourself with gratitudeHow reconnecting with your inner child can unlock more joy and alignmentThe role authenticity plays in manifestation and magnetic energyWhy self-reflection can be one of the most powerful spiritual toolsHow to reconnect with the version of you that felt the most aliveIf this episode resonated with you, hit subscribe and leave a comment.
There are certain truths about manifestation that you only learn once you've lived through the many “Why isn't this working yet?” moments (I'm sure you've been there too!).These truths help you to shift you from chasing your desires… to becoming the version of you who naturally receives them.This episode is a gentle, honest and open conversation about the five things I wish someone had told me when I first started manifesting.Knowing these things that would have saved me years of forcing, doubting and trying to “do it right”.Now I know that manifestation isn't about perfection, it's about safety, identity, alignment and trust (as well as who you become in the process).Join me as I explore…Why your nervous system is the real manifestor and how internal safety makes receiving easier than forcing ever couldHow desire is divine direction, not delusion... and why the desires that keep returning are coded guidance from your higher selfThe identity shift behind manifestation and how you don't manifest what you want, but you manifest who you believe you areWhy letting go isn't losing, it's clearing energetic space, releasing control and signalling trust to the universeHow the universe responds to your frequency, not your effortWhy aligned energy collapses timelines faster than hustle or spiritual over‑performing✨ Follow Shepali on Instagram @quietlyhealing for sound baths and reiki in North West London ✨Loved this episode?

What if the opposition you're facing isn't a sign you're off track… but proof you're exactly where God wants you?In this message, we walk through Acts 6:8–7:60 and uncover the true trajectory of a sanctified life: surrender → persecution → glory. Stephen wasn't an apostle—he was a servant. Yet his fully surrendered, Spirit-filled life shook an entire religious system.This isn't shallow Christianity. This is the kind of holiness that exposes empty religion, provokes resistance, and carries real power.If you want:A clean conscience before GodVictory over sin and selfThe fullness of the Holy SpiritA life that actually reflects JesusThen you need to understand this: real surrender will cost you.“Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” (2 Timothy 3:12)Stephen's life shows us what happens when someone holds nothing back. He was full of grace, full of power—and surrounded by opposition. Why? Because true holiness threatens comfortable religion.This message will challenge you to examine your life:Are you fully surrendered—or just partially committed?Are you walking in power—or just maintaining appearance?Are you ready for the cost of following Christ?
What if your entire life was built on a lie you didn't even know you believed?In this deeply emotional and revealing conversation, Dr. Carla Rotering shares the hidden story that shaped decades of her life — a belief formed at just five years old that she didn't belong on this planet.From that moment forward, everything became a transaction.Every achievement. Every act of service. Every sacrifice.A desperate attempt to earn something that was never missing to begin with.This episode uncovers the cost of “bartering for belonging” — and the profound journey back to truth, self-love, and liberation.If you've ever felt like you had to prove your worth, hide parts of yourself, or earn your place in the world… this conversation will hit deep.Key Takeaways:The origin of “bartering for belonging”Childhood beliefs that shape adult identityLiving a transactional life to earn worthThe fear of being “found out” and disappearingShame, self-abandonment, and overperformanceLosing connection to your true selfThe illusion of belonging vs. innate belongingA defining spiritual experience after lossThe power of saying “yes” to lifeThe courage to be seen and revealedThe 7 L's process for healing and self-discoveryMoving from performance to presenceRedefining self-love as sacred stewardshipLetting go of the need to prove your worth

Welcome, gorgeous souls, to Episode 427 of Aligned Abundance! ✨This week, I'm joined by intuitive teacher and author MaryAnn DiMarco for a powerful conversation on manifestation, spirit guides and what it really means to trust yourself without giving your power away.In this episode, we explore the relationship between intuition, spiritual guidance and aligned manifestation - and why true abundance isn't about outsourcing your decisions, but deepening your self-trust. MaryAnn shares honest, refreshing insights into what spirit guides are (and what they're not), how to work with them in an empowering way, and how to stay rooted in your own discernment in a world that often encourages dependency on external signs.Here's what you'll discover in this week's episode:What spirit guides are and just as importantly, what they're notHow to build a relationship with your guides without losing your sense of selfThe key difference between intuition, fear, and overthinkingWhat spiritual bypassing really looks like (and how to catch it with compassion)When we shift from seeking constant guidance to cultivating self-trust, manifestation becomes less about chasing and more about recognising what's already aligned.

How do you know if you're being truly kind—or just trying to stay safe?We often wear “kindness” like a badge of honor. Saying yes, avoiding conflict, putting others first. But what if that version of kindness is actually something deeper… something learned? What if it's not generosity—but survival?In this episode of Success Genius, we unpack the powerful difference between people-pleasing and genuine kindness. Because while one comes from fear and a need to stay safe, the other comes from a place of security, clarity, and choice.We dive into the role of the nervous system—how it quietly shapes our reactions, our boundaries, and even our relationships. You'll learn why constantly saying yes can lead to burnout, resentment, and a loss of self—and how real kindness actually requires strong, compassionate boundaries.Join me as we explore what it means to give from a place of overflow, not exhaustion. Because true kindness isn't about keeping everyone comfortable—it's about showing up authentically, protecting your energy, and creating real, meaningful connections.Topics covered in this episode include:The hidden difference between kindness and people-pleasingHow the nervous system drives the “fawn” survival responseWhy saying yes all the time leads to burnout, resentment, and loss of selfThe role of safety and regulation in setting healthy boundariesSimple ways to shift from survival mode to genuine, empowered kindnessReady to stop overgiving and start choosing kindness from a place of strength?

"Treat life as if it were ice cream and enjoy it before it melts."In this episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I sit down with Rhonda Farrah, a lifestyle empowerment alchemist, psychotherapist, author, and speaker, to talk about one of the most compelling midlife reinvention stories you'll ever hear.Rhonda didn't just face one crisis in midlife; she faced several at once. At 41, she found herself incarcerated for a non-violent crime after entering a business relationship without due diligence. Then came breast cancer. Then two divorces. For nearly 20 years, she says, she felt like she was living in a made-for-TV movie.But Rhonda's story isn't a story about what happened to her; it's about what she did next. Through radical self-examination, surrender, and a commitment to service, she rebuilt herself from the inside out. She stopped people-pleasing. She learned to fix her reflection first. She traded fear for faith and became the best version of herself, what she calls her "godly self."Now 67, Rhonda is thriving as a coach running her 12-week group program "Fix Your Reflection First," as a contributing author to multiple books (including a volume featuring Oprah Winfrey and Melinda Gates), and as a sought-after speaker. She's also writing her first solo book, Growing Where You Are Planted.In this episode, you'll discover:Why is people-pleasing one of the most dangerous habits midlife women carryHow Rhonda used her time in prison to rediscover her sense of selfThe difference between a psychotherapist and a "lifestyle alchemist."How she navigated breast cancer with faith and gratitude and what sign from God gave her peaceWhy self-care is not selfish, it's your obligationHow to hold two truths at once: "I am enough" AND "I have more to become"Her practical challenge: look in the mirror and name three things you love about yourselfWhether you're navigating a midlife identity crisis, recovering from loss, or simply ready to stop surviving and start thriving, this episode will leave you inspired, challenged, and equipped.Timestamps:0:00 - Guest Intro2:06 - The BraveHeart Story of Dr. Angela Chester on cancer, divorce, and starting over in midlife4:45 - What is a lifestyle alchemist?7:10 - Rhonda's AHA moment9:47 - How to choose faith over fear14:42 - The importance of self-care17:42 - The truth about people-pleasing & change21:15 - Rhonda's #1 tip for midlife womenQuotations:"Self-care is not selfish; it's the most selfless thing a woman can do. Who are you going to take care of if you don't take care of yourself?" - Rhonda Farrah"We hold two things true at the same time: I'm complete, I'm worthy, I'm enough, and because I'm confident in that, I have the courage to grow." - Dawn Damon"The mess turns into a message. My messages have turned into a message for me, and through the age of technology, I can help others." - Rhonda Farrah"We don't always tell the truth about the pain we're experiencing because we don't want to rock the boat. And so we just keep absorbing and absorbing, and that's toxic.” - Dawn Damon"Change is the nature of life. Human nature, however, is to resist change." - Rhonda Farrah"You are not alone. Reach out. Find your gift in the blessing." - Rhonda FarrahResources:

Zoey Charif describes how a painful breakup in her early thirties forced her to confront her lack of self-worth and the relationship patterns she had repeated for years. Growing up across continents, Zoey was no stranger to change, but this moment required a different kind of transition: an internal one. By examining her values and the beliefs guiding her choices, she began rebuilding her life in a way that finally felt aligned. Zoey and Stephanie explore self-awareness, authenticity, and the freedom that comes when you stop living by what life “should” look like and start choosing what actually fits you.Guest Bio Zoey Charif isn't just redefining how we think about love — she's providing a blueprint for it. As the author of “Love Can, In Fact, Be Calculated”, Zoey spent nearly two decades decoding the patterns of human attraction, pulling from her background in criminology, data analytics, and a relentless drive to challenge everything we've been taught about relationships.Born in Afghanistan, raised in Vancouver, Canada, and now based in Orange County, California, Zoey brings a rare blend of emotional depth, analytical precision, and lived experience to her work. Her framework isn't just theoretical, it's coachable, actionable, and designed to help people transform how they choose, build, and sustain relationships.Her work is a wake-up call: love isn't magic. It's math, psychology, and emotional mastery. Outside of the relationship space, Zoey is a powerhouse entrepreneur — the founder of Business Plans USA— helping startups and established businesses secure funding and scale with precision. Whether she's helping people find aligned love or aligned success, Zoey's mission is the same: to turn hope into mastery and potential into reality.Turning 40 and recognizing the patterns keeping you stuckZoey Charif has spent most of her life navigating change. Born in Afghanistan and raised across multiple countries, transition has been part of her story from the beginning. But in her early thirties, after a painful breakup left her questioning her self-worth and direction, Zoey hit a personal rock bottom that forced her to look inward. Instead of continuing down the same path, she developed a framework to examine her values, rebuild her confidence, and change the patterns shaping her relationships and life. In this conversation, Zoey shares how that moment of self-reflection led to a rapid and profound shift, one that ultimately helped her create a healthier relationship, a stronger sense of identity, and a life that feels much more aligned with who she truly is.In This Episode, We Talk AboutHow a childhood filled with constant transition shaped Zoey's resilience and adaptability, buy ultimately affected her sense of selfThe breakup in her early thirties that forced her to confront her sense of self-worth and the patterns in her relationshipsWhy many of us spend our twenties and early thirties blaming external circumstances before realizing we may be part of the patternHow small shifts in mindset, daily habits, and environment can trigger surprisingly fast personal transformationMeeting her husband at a dog park and discovering the difference between dramatic relationships and peaceful onesLetting go of comparison and embracing an unconventional life path as she approaches 40Self-awareness can completely change the trajectory of a life. Zoey shares how recognizing her own role in repeating relationship patterns allowed her to break those cycles and create something healthier. Along the way, she and Stephanie reflect on the broader midlife transition many people experience, the shift from external validation to internal alignment, and the surprising freedom that comes from letting go of expectations about what life “should” look like.If you enjoyed this episode, please take a moment to follow the podcast, leave a rating, and share it with someone who might need to hear this conversation.Guest ResourcesZoey's book, “Love Can, In Fact, Be Calculated”Connect with Zoey on InstagramZoey's websiteDo you have the Midlife Ick?

*Get your free guide, 3 Ways of Relating When Love Feels Uncertain at www.myhappyvault.com/uncertainLove doesn't usually show up when it's convenient.More often, it interrupts us—our plans, our preferences, our comfort.In this final episode of the series How to Love Without Losing Your Real Self, we explore what it looks like to love well in the ordinary moments where life asks us to pause, adjust, and trust God with what feels costly.We talk about:Why interruption presses on our patience, trust, and preferencesHow love often requires the surrender of our small, self-protective ways—without costing us our God-given selfThe difference between availability and overgivingHow comfort, customization, and “my way” quietly shape usAnd how God uses everyday interruptions to form Christ in usThis episode is an invitation to loosen your grip, stay connected to the source of love within you, and notice the small moments where God may be inviting you to lay something down—and receive something deeper in return.Love may cost us comfort and control.But it leads us more fully into who God says we already are.

In this episode of The Neurodivergent Creative, we keep rolling through Erik Erikson's psychosocial stages of development! We've officially reached the stage where everything feels dramatic, your body is doing weird stuff without your permission, and adults suddenly want you to “be yourself” while also punishing you for it.Welcome to Stage 5: Identity vs. Role Confusion (roughly ages 12–18)
The moment midlife asks more of you, and the trust and fear issues that may be holding you back.Midlife doesn't usually announce itself with a crisis.More often, it shows up quietly — as restlessness, hesitation, or the sense that the life you've built no longer fits the way it used to.In this special episode of the School of Midlife Podcast, host Laurie Reynoldson is sharing a live recording from the final day of a recent masterclass — a conversation about trust, fear, and the moment midlife asks us to choose differently.Not because something is wrong.But because something more is possible.In this episode, we explore:Why hesitation in midlife is often a trust issue, not a clarity issueThe three fears that keep high-achieving women stuck:fear of judgment (What will they think of me?)fear of failure (What if I'm not good enough?)fear of success (What if I actually do the thing?)Why waiting is still a decision — and how default choices quietly shape our livesHow identity shifts in midlife impact our decisions, relationships, and sense of selfThe ripple effects of choosing yourself — in your marriage, your family, and the legacy you're modeling for your childrenWhy regret doesn't come from trying and failing — but from never trying at allThis is not a conversation about blowing up your life or starting over.It's about learning how to stop overthinking, trust yourself again, and make intentional choices aligned with who you are now — not who you were ten or twenty years ago.If you've been feeling stuck between the life you have and the life you want, this episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and ask an honest question:What would it look like to choose differently — on purpose?Want to Go Deeper?The BEST LIFE Lab is a guided coaching experience for high-achieving midlife women who are ready to stop waiting and start choosing their lives intentionally — with clarity, support, and self-trust.You can learn more here.

This episode explores how childhood trauma and emotionally unsafe parenting can cause us to lose touch with our original personality, the self we were born with before survival, compliance, and shame took over.Through personal stories and clinical insight, Patrick explains how emotionally immature or abusive parents distort a child's sense of self by mislabeling innate traits as problems. Poor emotional mirroring, lack of goodness of fit, and pressure to comply can force a child's spark underground, leading trauma responses to be mistaken for personality well into adulthood.Learn how many survivors grow up feeling disconnected from who they really are, surprised by positive feedback, or unsure whether their behaviors reflect their true self or trauma adaptations, and how to begin reclaiming what was lost.Topics include:How childhood trauma suppresses innate personalityThe impact of emotional abuse, misattunement, and forced complianceWhy trauma responses often replace a true sense of selfThe five core childhood personality types and how they're shaped by family dynamicsHow to begin reconnecting with your authentic identity through trauma healingIf you grew up feeling like the difficult child, the odd duck, or the misunderstood one, this episode offers clarity, validation, and a path back to yourself.Keywords: childhood trauma, lost sense of self, emotionally immature parents, trauma recovery, inner child healing, emotional abuse, identity development, CPTSD, family of origin traumaJoin the Monthly Healing Community Membership
In today's episode, I'm sitting down with the incredible Sara Avant Stover for a conversation that is going to shift the way you see yourself, your business, and your inner world. We're diving deep into parts work (also known as Internal Family Systems or IFS) - the modality that has completely changed how I move through triggers, make decisions, show up as a mother, and lead inside my business.

Sara breaks down the psychology, the spirituality, and the practicality of working with your inner parts in the most grounded, beautiful way.Here's what we drop into inside this episode:What IFS actually is, and how it connects your human self with your highest, divine selfThe difference between protectors, managers, firefighters, and exiles (and how to work with each of them)Why your triggers aren't the problem, but the doorwayHow re-parenting your inner parts creates real self-worth, emotional safety, and new neural pathwaysWhat to do in the moment when you feel activated, unseen, dismissed, or overwhelmedHow parts work helps entrepreneurs move through visibility fears, burnout patterns, undercharging, and people-pleasingWhy grief, heartbreak, and major life transitions (like motherhood or a big move) awaken the parts that need the most loveThe truth about building a sustainable business that honors your nervous system, your rhythms, and your humanityThis episode is truly a warm hug for your nervous system — equal parts grounding, eye-opening, and soul-nourishing.

In today's episode, I'm cracking open a raw, deeply honest look at what it actually takes to Quantum Leap - and the identity shift that came before my $33k sales week. This isn't a highlight-reel conversation; it's the real behind-the-scenes of the death-and-rebirth season I moved through this year, the emotional unraveling that motherhood brought to the surface, and the inner work that had to happen before anything shifted externally. If you've been feeling stuck, stretched, or like you “should” be further along by now, this episode is going to feel like a permission slip and a wake-up call all at once. We're breaking down what identity work really is (beyond the cute exercises on TikTok), how to identify the version of you who actually creates your next level, and what it takes to operate at that level long before you feel ready.Here's what we drop into inside this episode:The truth about “identity work”, and why it's so much more than acting like your future selfThe death-before-the-rebirth season that set the stage for my biggest resultsWhat was really happening behind the scenes during my pivot, pausing masterminds, and burning down a 6-figure offerWhy Quantum Leaps don't come from one bold move, but from repetitive, aligned, stretch-level actionHow your beliefs, emotions, and results create a self-reinforcing loop, and how to break itThe exact questions I ask myself before making any next-level decisionWhy comparison has been such a massive collective wound this year, and how to navigate it with compassionThe real reason investing alone won't quantum leap your business (this one's a game changer)This is part one of a two-part series, and part two goes even deeper into the limiting beliefs, emotional work, nervous system shifts, and inner-child healing that had to happen for me to step into this new identity.

On this episode, I am joined by Béa Victoria Albina, a trained nurse practitioner, master certified life coach, somatic experiencing practitioner and author of “End Emotional Outsourcing: How to Overcome Your Codependent, Perfectionist, People-Pleasing Habits.” Béa coined the term ‘Emotional Outsourcing', which describes our co-dependent, people pleasing and perfectionistic habits and how these behaviors cost us our joy, authenticity and true connection to self and others. In this episode, we talk about the cost of chronically and habitually outsourcing our sense of safety, belonging and worth. We dive into the root of these behaviours from a cultural and historical perspective and Bea shines a light on how we were trained up to be disconnected from the earth, magic and our own inner wisdom.

Never short sell an immeasurably more God.Never underestimate the power of a simple prayer offered on behalf of a complex situation.Never dismiss the impact of obedience (disobedience).Never be afraid of the repercussions of telling the truth in love. One of those repercussions is freedom.When in the dark always ask for more of God. You need Him more than answers, advice or direction.Change always requires change.A desire for change is common, actual change is elusive. Spiritual change always has spiritual opposition. Newton's Law of Motion #1 An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction, unless acted upon by a net external force. Application: People tend to stay in the same spiritual and physical spot until the pain of staying exceeds the “pain” required in changing. On the positive side, spiritual momentum is also difficult to stop.Newton's Law of Motion #2 The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. Application: Surrender/Repentance is a powerful force and spiritual change requires it.Fallen man is not simply an imperfect creature who needs improvement: he is a rebel who must lay down his arms. C.S. Lewis.Newton's Law of Motion #3 For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Application: We pose the greatest threat to Satan's kingdom when we gain spiritual strength, a spiritual family and spiritual momentum. Salvation is the act of freedom and life. Sotiera & Sozo = Deliverance, rescue, freedom, wholeness. Acts 4:8-13 (NIV) 8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers and elders of the people! 9 If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame and are being asked how he was healed, 10 then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. 11 Jesus is “‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.'(Psalm 118:22) 12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”13 When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.Salvation being found in no one else other than Jesus, is a non-starter in a relative truth culture. Salvation is the most inclusive offer known to mankind. Salvation has no racial, gender, political, economic or geographic or educational qualifications. BUT salvation has only one gate – Jesus. Sin is a separator, Jesus is a connector. John 3:16 (NIV) 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Part of Satan's deception around salvation is, you don't deserve this and you will be rejected.Justification is a legal action of setting right. Romans 10:9,10 (NIV) 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.With our repentance, surrender and confession, we are cleansed (saved) of all of our sins and the sin barrier between us and God is gone – this is a loving fatherly act. God now declares us justified – in right legal standing, penalty of our sin paid, free! This is His Just Judge “side” of God. Love can't exist without challenge. Salvation = Changed Relationship Justification = Changed StatusSanctification is the act of setting apart. The Hebrew root for sanctification means “set apart” and “brightness”. The difference between salvation, justification and sanctification is we play a more integrated role in our sanctification. While God does all three, sanctification is an ongoing process that requires our cooperation and continual surrender. Sanctification is an ongoing process of change. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 (NIV) As for other matters, brothers and sisters, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more. 2 For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. 3 It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; 4 that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, 5 not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God; 6 and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister. The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before. 7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. 8 Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit.“how to live” points to an ongoing process. “more and more” is an ongoing advancement. Romans 7 & 8 deserves a slow readSalvation = Changed Relationship. Justification = Changed Status. Sanctification = Changed LivingRomans 12:1-2 (NIV) Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.The Process of Change…Respond in offering yourself in worship. Offer your whole selfThe more you hold onto yourself, the less you can hold onto God.Stop the conforming. Stopping Starves. Starved things die. Reject cultures attempt to squeeze you into their mold.Start the transforming. The fuel of spiritual transformation is spiritual mind renewal. The Word challenges and changes your thinking. The Truth of God's word is the only force strong enough for transformation. The best case for change is to hear/see and offer testimonies of change. Revelation 12:11(NIV) They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. Let's celebrate some triumphing with some testimony. John 11:43b-44 (NIV) 43 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” 44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”To exit death, you have to respond to Jesus' call to life. Once alive, ditch the dead stuff. Undeniable life comes with unavoidable backlash. Life QuestionsIs Jesus calling you out of a grave, today? Come forth!What dead stuff do you need to ditch? Ask for help and participate in stripping off the dead stuff that doesn't match the living God.Don't be afraid to live the life of Christ in dead circles. Everybody needs this life.

Send us a textIn this episode, MJ and Rasheem explore the legacy and continued relevance of poor Black women's activism in Baltimore, focusing on housing justice and welfare rights. Drawing on Rhonda Y. Williams' seminal article, “We're Tired of Being Treated Like Dogs,” the hosts delve into the political lives of Black women who mobilized against institutional neglect and economic exploitation from the 1960s to the present.The conversation centers on the historical and grassroots efforts of Black women like Margaret McCarty and Rev. Annie Chambers, who turned personal struggle into collective resistance. Organizations like U-JOIN (Union for Jobs or Income Now) and Mother Rescuers from Poverty emerged from East Baltimore's neighborhoods and housing complexes such as Murphy Homes, O'Donnell Heights, and Gilmore Homes—communities marked by poverty but rich in organizing tradition.Rasheem details how federal surveillance, welfare fraud prosecutions, and slumlord neglect were met with tenant strikes, welfare marches, and legislative advocacy. Leaders challenged both structural racism and class exploitation, drawing on a Black Radical Tradition that was grassroots-based, anti-capitalist, and unapologetically of the people.Key locations such as North Gay Street and Pennsylvania Avenue serve as landmarks of resistance, while institutions like the Soul School became spaces of political education. The episode also touches on national allies like CORE and speakers such as Stokely Carmichael and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who amplified the local struggle on a national stage.MJ and Rasheem conclude by reflecting on what today's organizers can learn from this era: the power of coalition-building, the necessity of political independence, and the importance of reclaiming radical traditions that center the voices of poor Black women in the fight for housing, dignity, and justice.Main Themes:Housing activism as a form of defense of home and selfThe central role of Black women in welfare rights organizingTension between Black capitalism and Black radical politicsPolitical consciousness and grassroots leadership among poor communitiesLessons for contemporary housing and labor justice movements in BaltimoreSupport the showIn Search of Black Power is a Black-owned internet show and podcast.

On this episode of In The Circle, I address a deep and personal question from Annesa: Can I recover from a lifelong struggle with food and body dysmorphia resulting from sexual abuse?This inquiry sheds light on the intricate relationship between trauma, self-view, and the longing for healing in a society where many women undergo sexual assault. For us to discover true healing, we need to confront and question our deep-seated identities and beliefs and reconnect with our emotional and spiritual essence. Practicing techniques like Kundalini Yoga and mindfulness can play a huge part in helping us achieve our ultimate goal of peace and freedom. We need to be striving daily to discover our truths, discard detrimental self-beliefs, and embrace self-love and acceptance, especially when confronted with societal challenges and personal traumas. Not only does this guide us to experience true healing and recovery, it extends a beacon of hope to those on a similar healing journey.Tommy discussesThe importance of discovering one's true self beyond trauma and storiesWhy recovery is about realizing the divinity within and coming to the truth of who you areHow trauma keeps you in a story that distances you from your true selfThe multiple benefits of practicing yoga and mindfulnessHow to create an identity filled with love, compassion, and presence.Further Links & ResourcesCatch a Meeting.
