Ed, Rob, and Jeremy took some time from the third hour of Wednesday's BBMS to recap a wild Pacers win over the Cavaliers, with Tyrese Halliburton hitting the game winner with 1.1 seconds remaining. Halliburton has been called 'soft' by a lot of pundits over the years, but is he starting to change their minds?

Shedding your old identity might sometimes feel like absolute death rather than the euphoric buzz everyone promises. In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the uncomfortable reality of identity shifts that nobody talks about.I call it "the void" – that disorienting space between who you were and who you're becoming. Your old self operated on survival, panic, and hustle, so when you finally create safety, your nervous system freaks out! That calm, focused energy can actually feel boring compared to the adrenaline you're used to. This isn't regression – it's recalibration. Join me as I walk you through why your subconscious tries to pull you back to familiar chaos and give you my four favourite subconscious practices to anchor into your next-level identity when the old version whispers "come back."Your higher self is closer than you think – you just need to navigate the void first, and I'm here to guide you through it!Topics covered on Shedding Your Old Identity:Why does shedding your old identity and stepping into your higher self feel like death instead of the expected euphoria?What exactly is "the void" and why does it make so many people quit the subconscious work right before their big breakthrough?How does your nervous system react when you are shedding your old identity?Why might your new next-level identity feel strangely boring after you've done the subconscious work?What subconscious techniques can you use to anchor your new identity when old patterns try pulling you back?Connect with Rebecca Haydon:Apply to work with meThe Subconscious MembershipCome say hi on Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeFind the full show notes & more resources at https://rebeccahaydon.com/podcast/shedding-your-old-identity

In this episode, I dive into the place we all fear—the belly of the beast. It's where growth happens, but it requires stepping into chaos, darkness, and uncertainty. It's not the easy path, but it's the only one that leads to transformation. The cost? Shedding the old you to make room for something greater.Facing fear, doubt, and pain head-on is where we truly discover our strength. Most avoid this, but by confronting our monsters, we uncover a tenacity we didn't know existed. The life you want is on the other side of discomfort—it's time to step into the darkness and redefine who you are.More from Eddie Pinero:Monday Motivation Newsletter: https://www.eddiepinero.com/newsletterYour World Within Podcast: https://yourworldwithin.libsyn.com/Stream these tracks on Spotify - https://spoti.fi/2BLf6pBInstagram - @your_world_within and @IamEddiePineroTikTok - your_world_withinFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/YourworldwithinTwitter - https://www.twitter.com/IamEddiePineroBusiness Inquiries - http://www.yourworldwithin.com/contact#liveinspired #yourworldwithin #motivation

In this week's inspiring episode, I sit down with my longtime friend, JJ Ruescas, for a conversation about growth, courage and living life as an experiment. JJ's journey is a beautiful example of what can happen when we let go of who we think we're supposed to be and allow ourselves to evolve. From traveling the world to discovering new passions like breathwork and conscious leadership, JJ shares how small experiments - and bold leaps -have shaped his path toward greater authenticity and freedom. We discuss shedding old identities, moving through fear and listening to the quiet pull of intuition. JJ's story reminds us that transformation doesn't require perfection - it requires trust, curiosity and a willingness to step into the unknown. Highlights: *

Workplace stress has a way of creeping in until it feels normal, leaving leaders drained and stuck in survival mode. When exhaustion takes over, decision-making suffers, motivation fades, and even the best opportunities can slip by unnoticed. It's not always the workload itself that holds someone back, but the habits and mindset that shape how they handle it. The real challenge isn't just keeping up—it's figuring out what needs to change before burnout makes the choice for them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETB0JCgGBJY Bernadette Boas is an executive coach, trainer, and author focused on leadership and team performance. She founded Ball of Fire Coaching to help professionals improve workplace dynamics. Her book, Shedding the Corporate Bitch, explores breaking negative habits and building strong leadership skills.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we wrapped up our Resurrection week by discussing the renewal we receive through Christ. When Christ died on the cross, He took our sins with Him, and now we have salvation through Him. We turned to Romans 6:6-7, which says that our old selves were crucified with Jesus on the cross, making us no longer slaves to sin. What have you left at the cross? We also had Rachel Faulkner Brown join us today. Rachel founded Never Alone Widows, the largest Christian widows' ministry, after tragically losing two husbands before she was 31 years old. She also hosts the “There is More Podcast” and co-wrote an eight-week Bible study, Father’s House. Rachel has authored several books, including “Widow’s Might: 365 Days of Strength for Grief and Loss– Find Comfort, Hope, and Healing.” You can hear the highlights of today’s program on Karl and Crew Showcast.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Navigating gay relationships isn't easy, but it can be worth it. Yet, for most gay men, that 1st breakup can be a doozy and waht we often don't realized is where that pain is rooted...it's not where you think. Shedding light on how to overcome trauma, is RTT Therapy specialist, Lonay Halloum, who guides us to explore a powerful therapy technique for navigating relationship pain in a new way. In this episode: Discover a pathway for overcoming self sabotage Learn three key pillars a stellar relationship Discover what RTT therapy is and how it can support you in releasing old habits About Lonay As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community myself, I know firsthand the journey of navigating heartbreak and toxic relationship patterns. It's this personal experience that fuels my passion for guiding others towards healing and transformation. My upbringing in a war country, as well as being gay, I intimately understand the struggles and challenges that can arise from navigating one's identity and acceptance. The journey to self-acceptance can be fraught with societal expectations, internalized shame, and the fear of rejection. These experiences can deeply impact our sense of worthiness and affect our relationships, particularly our love lives. Through my own journey of embracing my identity and overcoming societal norms, and as a certified RTT practitioner and hypnotherapist, I've developed a profound empathy and insight into the unique experiences and traumas faced by individuals within the LGBTQ+ community. I'm dedicated to providing a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their authentic selves, heal from past wounds, and cultivate fulfilling and authentic relationships.

Eyelash Shedding + Are Long Eyelashes Always Attractive by Maine's Coast 93.1

Transformation often involves a symbolic "death and rebirth," manifesting in various ways for each individual. The process includes shedding and purging limiting belief systems and fears, often inherited from family. Recognizing and releasing these burdens – old fears and ingrained consciousness – is a significant step in breaking free from karmic patterns and replaying outdated narratives. Subconscious and conscious efforts are vital in letting go of what no longer serves you. This involves shedding old identities, belief systems, and value systems that aren't authentically yours. Cutting cords with these inherited patterns can lead to significant personal growth. Experiences of timeline jumping and quantum shifts suggest a dynamic and evolving reality. These shifts can be subtle or profound, indicating an emotional, spiritual, or psychospiritual breakthrough associated with healing and feeling better. Tangible evidence may even appear, indicating that things are not as they were, suggesting a shift in your reality. Pay attention to subtle changes in your environment, things that might have been one way and are now different without a clear explanation. Just as you look for synchronicities, become a detective of your reality, noticing shifts in tangible aspects like street signs or the layout of familiar places. The process of expanding consciousness is often accompanied by rapid shifts in reality. This can contribute to feelings of disorientation as you navigate different timelines. It's a period where things can feel more immediate and drastic, prompting a re-evaluation of priorities and relationships. Processing and shedding old patterns with compassion, love, and accountability is crucial during this time. Pay close attention to nuances and changes in your reality that lack obvious explanations. Energy is accelerating, fostering new ideas and pushing you towards a more authentic version of yourself. Intense astrological energies are also at play, facilitating growth and forward movement during this period of breakthrough energy.

✨ How these fears show up as procrastination, perfectionism, and self-sabotage
✨ Practical tools to navigate identity shifts with more ease, self-compassion, and confidence
✨ A simple first step you can take today to start moving forwardI'll also share my own experiences navigating major identity shifts—from design magazines to reality TV, from therapist to coach—and how I help creatives, coaches, and entrepreneurs step into visibility in a way that feels energizing, not exhausting.

It's essential to understand that experiences of sexual shame vary greatly, depending on the person and circumstances. Addressing the range of feelings openly is vital for a healthy relationship. In this episode of the Intimate Marriage Podcast, Dr. Alexandra Stockwell is joined by April Lampert and Amy Baldwin of "Shameless Sex" to discuss the intricacies of sexual shame, its impact on relationships, and how individuals and couples can navigate towards a more shameless and fulfilling sex life. Together they highlight common misconceptions about sexual shame, and offer practical advice for maintaining passion and intimacy in long-term relationships. They also explore the pervasive nature of shame, from societal pressures to personal traumas, and emphasize the healing power of communication and vulnerability.    Tips in this episode: Many people carry unrecognized sexual shame from past experiences and societal norms; addressing these feelings leads to greater pleasure and connection. Open, compassionate dialogue with partners about sexual dissatisfaction and/or shame significantly enhances intimacy and relationship satisfaction. Sharing vulnerabilities and desires without judgment is vital for overcoming shame and achieving a fulfilling sexual relationship. Sexual shame often flourishes in long-term relationships, due to mismatched desires and societal expectations–addressing it is essential to maintain marital passion.   Subscribe To The Intimate Marriage Podcast: Apple Podcast | YouTube | Spotify Connect With Alexandra Stockwell, MD: Website | Linkedin | Instagram   Get your copy of “Uncompromising Intimacy” by Dr. Alexandra Stockwell here: https://amzn.to/2ymI3Hl Download the first chapter of Dr Alexandra's bestselling book, “Uncompromising Intimacy,” here:  https://www.alexandrastockwell.com/book Cultivate your intimacy skills (without compromise) in Aligned & Hot Marriage, Dr. Alexandra's proven method for smart couples ready to love more fully:  www.alignedhotmarriage.com Join Dr. Alexandra's email list to stay connected.

After the talk, join Shoshana for a conversation with OB/GYN and women's health advocate Dr. Jessica Shepherd. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

“I'm never out here trying to prove to others who I am. I'm out here proving to myself that I'm exactly who I said I am.” Natasha Cloud WNBA Champion   Pivot Family, We have had a lot of great conversations but this one is up there as one of our favorites because it's so personal, covering so many life aspects we don't talk about often and truly reveals the inner character of a remarkable woman who stands on strength and is fueled by passion and purpose. Ryan, Fred and Channing sit with former WNBA champion and Connecticut Sun point guard Natasha Cloud. Cloud, joins the guys for an emotional and powerful conversation about her journey through basketball, identity, social justice advocacy, and the fight for equality in women's sports. Through her battle scars and experiences, we get to know the real side of this strong woman who found her voice at a young age and has never hid from who she is to use it.    Growing up biracial, in a predominantly white household and community, Cloud reflects on feeling like she existed in a “gray area”…never feeling fully white, never feeling fully black and how that shaped her outlook. Shedding some tears, she shares how much her parents mean to her and how they embraced her wholeheartedly even though it wasn't always easy times. Cloud opens up about her self discovery to understanding her Blackness, the difficult conversations that came with it, and how her white parents made a constant effort to support her experience as a Black woman.   Energized and excited about the success and competition of playing in the Unrivaled league- Cloud is now gearing up for their next battle as she is at the forefront of the WNBA's fight for better pay, benefits, and respect. She speaks passionately about the upcoming Collective Bargaining Agreement, the need for pensions, and the growing investment in women's basketball. She also discusses this past WNBA season with the increased viewership and doesn't shy away from speaking on aggressive play being criticized as something other than basketball.    Candid about her personal relationship with fellow WNBA player Isabelle Harrison, Cloud takes us through the challenges of being a Black gay woman, and how she struggled to reconcile her faith with her identity while balancing societal pressures and criticism. By overcoming constant battles, Cloud finds strength in embracing who she is through thick and thin and never lets what others think be of influence.    The guys talk about Cloud skipping the 2020 WNBA season to focus on social justice, the burden of constantly speaking out on important issues, and how she's learned the importance of self-care, acknowledging that while she wants to fight for change, she also understands that she can't pour from an empty cup.   This episode is about courage, resilience, and standing firm in who you are. Natasha Cloud's story is a beautiful one of pride, courage, love, family and proof that playing basketball is bigger than sports. Finding purpose in using her platform for change, she's a proven leader, and willing to stand on the shoulders of those who came before her to leave the game and world better for future generations of young women.  Learn more about your ad choices.
