STREAMING THE MAKING OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW 3-20-20261868 PERSIAN GULFThis transcript from The John Bachelor Show features a dialogue between host John Bachelor, Jeff Bliss of Pacific Watch, and a commentator known as Germanicus. The discussion begins with an overview of California's current challenges, including record-breaking heatwaves and a controversial $100 million wildlife bridge in Agoura Hills that has faced significant budget overruns. The participants also examine the homelessness crisis in Los Angeles, specifically focusing on allegations of political fraud and the lack of financial accountability for state spending. Shifting to international affairs, the dialogue addresses rising global tensions involving Iran and the potential for infrastructure attacks that could destabilize energy markets. Finally, Germanicus provides a historical critique of modern American military strategy, arguing that the nation has traded versatile combat readiness for a reliance on expensive, "exquisite" weaponry.

Shifting from observer to participant in Christ's life changes everything about how we live, worship, and serve. Jeff shares how this perspective calls us into deeper union with Christ, especially through the sacraments and daily discipleship.

What if the patterns running your life are not about weakness, but intelligent survival? In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Yusuf, mindfulness researcher and trauma resolution specialist Dr. Rochelle Vogt explores why awareness alone is not enough to create real change. This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck repeating the same emotional patterns, relationships, or reactions. Dr. Vogt explains how subconscious programming shapes most of our behavior, why the brain defaults to survival mode, and how shifting into “creator mode” allows us to make intentional choices instead of reacting to life. The episode also introduces her MAP (Make Anything Possible) method and how reconnecting with the subconscious can open new possibilities for healing and personal growth. About the Guest: Dr. Rochelle Vogt is a mindfulness researcher and trauma resolution specialist. She focuses on translating mind-body science into practical tools that help people shift subconscious patterns and move toward intentional living. Episode Chapters: 00:04:21 – Opening question: Is willpower just an old pattern? 00:04:47 – Welcome to Healthy Mind, Healthy Life 00:05:13 – Superconsciousness and subconscious patterns explained 00:05:41 – What “creator mode” looks like in everyday life 00:07:07 – Reacting to life vs consciously creating it 00:08:05 – Why digital stimulation keeps us in survival mode 00:09:24 – Why awareness alone does not create change Key Takeaways: Most daily behaviors are driven by subconscious patterns, not conscious decisions. Awareness is the first step, but deeper work is required to change ingrained neural pathways. Many repeated life patterns happen because the brain chooses what it knows you can survive. Shifting from reactive living to “creator mode” begins with slowing down and choosing intentionally. Techniques that work with the subconscious can help release old emotional imprints without reliving trauma.

In this episode, we are shifting our energetic frequency to recognize a profound truth: You are a magnet for miracles.

Jeff & Shannon expose Joe Kent as potential Fake MAGA leaker in FBI probe—plus intel chiefs' House testimony shredding Iran threat denial. Unmasking controlled opposition live. Tune in at Rumble, YouTube, X and Red State Talk Radio now! Patriots, gear up for the unfiltered takedown—Season 8 Episode 051, "Was Joe Kent FAKE MAGA's Leaker?; Intel Chiefs Testify House Hearing," rips the mask off the chaos dividing America First! @intheMatrixxx and @shadygrooove, relentless truth warriors with insider experience from embedding deep in the Flynn network, lay out the explosive timeline: Joe Kent, former National Counterterrorism Center Director, resigned amid the Iran conflict claiming no imminent threat—yet fresh reports confirm he's under FBI investigation for allegedly leaking classified info, predating his exit, with scrutiny on disclosures tied to the Charlie Kirk assassination probe. They connect the dots on how private group chat details surfaced publicly via Candace Owens—info only accessible to select government insiders—while Kent's sudden narrative flip on Iran (despite his wife's tragic death from Iranian munitions) raises red flags, especially as Flynn network allies rushed to defend him post-resignation. Applying Occam's Razor, the simplest explanation points to internal leaks fracturing the base, rejecting mainstream spin that ignores these contradictions. Shifting gears, they dive into the House hearing where intel chiefs testified on global threats, confirming Iran's possession of over 440 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium—weapons-grade material with no civilian justification—directly countering "no threat" claims pushed by certain influencers, backed by official assessments and Iran's documented assassination plots on U.S. soil, including against President Trump. No wild ops speculation—just sharp breakdowns exposing dishonest narratives from legacy media and controlled opposition alike. The truth is learned, never told. The constitution is your weapon.

Colleen's path into the flower world is anything but conventional.

Many people quietly believe intimacy should come naturally. But when it doesn't, confusion, pressure, and self-doubt often follow. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, we explore a more grounded and compassionate way to understand sexual health. Joining the conversation is Asal Sepassi, an occupational therapist and sex educator who brings a trauma-informed and neuroscience-based perspective to intimacy. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt anxious, disconnected, or uncertain about intimacy in relationships. Together, they unpack how the nervous system, stress, media expectations, and self-perception influence our experiences—and how learning to regulate the body and shift focus from performance to connection can create healthier, more human intimacy. About the Guest: Asal Sepassi is an occupational therapist and sex educator who approaches intimacy through trauma-informed care and neuroscience. Her work helps people understand how the nervous system, sensory needs, and emotional safety shape sexual health and connection. Episode Chapters: 00:00 – Opening conversation and setting the context 03:18 – Why intimacy isn't always spontaneous 05:26 – What brings people to seek support for intimacy 07:00 – Anxiety, the nervous system, and sexual response 10:15 – Media myths and unrealistic expectations about sex 13:00 – Shifting focus from performance to presence 15:20 – Practical ways to regulate the body and build confidence Key Takeaways: Intimacy challenges are often connected to nervous system regulation, not personal failure. Anxiety and pressure can activate stress responses that interfere with connection. Real-life intimacy often benefits from intentional time and communication. Shifting focus from performance to presence can improve emotional and physical connection. Understanding personal triggers and calming practices can help build healthier intimacy.

What if a school could rebuild not just itself, but the community's trust and identity? In this episode, Carla Cummins and Nick Marmolejo sit down with Erica Thompson, Business Development professional at Wells Building Systems, to explore how schools serve as the heartbeat of their communities. From her unexpected journey through accounting and Colorado's early marijuana industry to becoming a passionate advocate for K-12 construction, Erica shares how building schools is about far more than bricks and mortar—it's about creating spaces where students discover who they are. Drawing from her work across Colorado's diverse communities, Erica reveals how the built environment shapes student identity, why schools are "networking machines," and how one Denver neighborhood fought to reclaim their closed high school—and won. Takeaways: Teamwork makes the dream work: Radically student-centered design means shifting from "me" to "we"—creating environments where students learn to build their teams and cultivate lifelong relationships Schools are networking machines: Beyond academics, schools create micro-communities—band kids, athletes, robotics crews—where students form identities and connections that last decades Research the community, not just the building: Understanding demographics, attending town halls, and reading master plans reveals what each unique community truly needs from their school Strategic, not sacrifice: When budgets tighten, stay rooted in your district's mission—make strategic decisions rather than compromising what students deserve Measure success by who comes back: When Montbello High School reopened after a decade, 1,100 of 1,200 freshman seats filled immediately—proof that communities will invest in spaces that invest in them Design for generations: Today's students become tomorrow's parents and grandparents—build schools that honor the past while serving futures you'll never see About Erica Thompson: My career began with an ambitious plan to become a nuclear engineer, which quickly pivoted (after an honest math check) to accounting. I earned my CPA license at 22 and began auditing small to mid-sized banks during the very exciting years of 2007 to 2014. That experience led me into the emerging medical marijuana industry, where I helped companies create GAAP-compliant accounting practices in a world needing it. Reconciling cash without banks was as unconventional as it sounds, and it taught me adaptability, creativity, resilience, and humor.   While entrepreneurship sparked my interest in sales, it was construction manufacturing that truly shaped my career. I entered the industry as a Sales Representative at General Shale, where I helped amplify regional brick sales and adopted my guiding motto: Teamwork Makes the Dream Work. Under the mentorship of Mark Stutz and later Jared Rabin at Rio Grande, I learned the power of solution-based selling. Shifting from providing products to solving real problems. These mentorships taught me to build long- term, developmental relationships, one of which ultimately led me to Wells.   Today, I serve in Business Development at Wells, where I focus on connecting with end users to gather insights, identify market opportunities, and support strategic growth. Surrounded by strong leadership, including Dan Parker, I've found my professional home. This role naturally led me to A4LE and a passion for learning environment spaces that do far more than house education; they anchor communities, shape generations, and serve as points of connection. I highlight leadership throughout my story because my journey has never been just about "me". It's a collective we. None of this happens alone. Teamwork Makes the Dream Work.

Hey team! This week, I'm talking with Dr. Anupriya Gogne, a psychiatrist at Brown University Health in Rhode Island. Dr. Gonge works at the crossroads of addiction psychiatry and neurodevelopmental disorders, with a specific focus on treating ADHD during pregnancy and the postpartum period. She's dedicated to clearing up the misinformation surrounding medication safety during pregnancy, which can be seen in her book, Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Adult Women: Special Considerations in the Perinatal Period. In our conversation, we dive into why hormonal fluctuations turn ADHD symptoms into a "perfect storm," the actual science behind "mom brain," and why your internal systems for keeping your life together tend to implode the moment a baby enters the picture. We also get into the nuances of how ADHD presents in women versus men, specifically regarding internal hyperactivity and emotional regulation. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/281 YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/y835cnrk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HackingYourADHD This Episode's Top Tips When ADHD symptoms suddenly appear or worsen, it's often not because the brain has changed, but rather that the environment's demands have finally exceeded the brain's compensatory systems. When life transitions occur, such as having a child, external chaos disrupts the systems that previously helped keep the ADHD in check. Chronic sleep deprivation isn't just being tired; it's also a failure of the memory consolidation system. While we are in deep sleep, our brain is encoding the day's events. If you aren't getting those stages, your working memory cannot function properly. These memory issues then compound with ADHD symptoms which can make it feel like you are experiencing early-onset dementia. In many adults, and especially in women, hyperactivity often isn't physical; instead, it's mental. It can manifest as negative self-talk on a loop, racing thoughts, or just feel like you have too many tabs open in your brain. Shifting the mental model to see internal ruminating as a form of hyperactivity helps identify the need for mental breaks rather than just physical outlets.

Claim your complimentary gift of my exclusive mini weight care guide today!Link: Weight Care Guide — Dr. Francavilla Show (thedrfrancavillashow.com)Ever wonder why you literally can't stop thinking about food?For a long time, weight management advice was basically “eat less, move more.” But honestly, it's way more complicated than just willpower. Biology, hormones, metabolism, and your brain all totally play a role in why we eat and how our bodies handle weight.Family physician and obesity medicine specialist Dr. Laure DeMattia has decades of experience, both in the clinic and with her own weight journey. She's also the author of The Four Food Cues: Why Your Brain Won't Shut Up About Food and How to Fix It, which dives into the biological and behavioral signals that influence our eating habits—basically, why our brains are always nudging us toward snacks.Dr. DeMattia breaks down how understanding food cues, using frameworks like CHEF—Cravings, Hunger, Energy, Fullness—and knowing the role of medications like GLP-1s can make weight management way more doable, compassionate, and honestly less stressful.In This Episode, We Cover:Why This Book Was Written – The story behind Dr. Demattia's book and why sharing real, science-based info is so needed right now.Why Food Is Always on Your Mind – Cravings, energy dips, delayed fullness… why your brain is basically obsessed with snacks.From Cravings to Fullness – Using the CHEF framework to notice your body's signals without obsessing over every single calorie.Why Taking Care of Yourself Matters for Your Kids – Little self-care habits actually teach your kids that looking after yourself is normal.GLP-1s: Amazing for Some, Not Everyone – Medications that help curb hunger, but not a one-size-fits-all thing.Shifting the Goal: From Thinness to Health – Forget chasing the scale—focus on strength, energy, and just feeling good in your body.Understanding your food cues and all your options is about curiosity over blame, and science over shame. Whether it's using CHEF, trying GLP-1s, or exploring other approaches, Dr. DeMattia gives patients ways to approach weight management that actually fit real life.Want all the deets and full insights?

I have something SO amazing for you. Our mineral-heavy water started impacting my skin the moment we moved, and I had never experienced eczema or skin issues in my life. Hard water can strip natural oils, disrupt the microbiome, and weaken the skin barrier — leaving you inflamed, reactive, and stuck in flare-ups. That's exactly what happened to my neck, and within almost two weeks of using Herbal Face Food, my eczema is almost gone. This stuff is legit — and I only share my favorite things that actually work. Their formulas are made with ultra-potent, organic, whole-plant botanicals rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, and phytonutrients that calm inflammation, rebuild the skin barrier, and fight visible signs of aging instead of masking symptoms. The Cure is their most targeted antioxidant treatment designed to visibly improve stubborn concerns like eczema, melasma, rosacea, scarring, sun damage, and deeper signs of aging. The Cream is a deeply hydrating, ultra-potent botanical moisturizer that firms, smooths, strengthens the skin barrier, and helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. The Soap gently cleanses without stripping, using powerful plant concentrates to protect, nourish, and support healthy, youthful-looking skin on both the face and body. If your skin has been struggling from hormones, environmental stress, hard water damage, or premature aging, I'm sharing exactly what I'm using and why it's working.

Andy and Randy get in to the Hawks streak, and chances of a playoff push

Emerging markets are back in focus in 2026 — not just as a cyclical trade, but as investors reassess performance leadership, diversification, and where growth is showing up in a shifting global paradigm. After a long stretch of disappointing returns, emerging markets have started the year strongly, alongside record interest from global investors. But the case for EM today is less about a single story — and more about dispersion across countries, sectors, and themes.In this episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido is joined by Alex Brazier, Global Head of Investment and Portfolio Solutions, and Sam Vecht, Portfolio Manager on BlackRock's Global Emerging Markets Equities team. Alex shares what he's hearing from investors across the U.S. and Europe, including the role of flows, sentiment, and portfolio positioning. Sam brings a bottom-up perspective on how emerging markets have evolved over the past two decades — and why market pricing hasn't always reflected economic progress.Together, they explore why emerging markets may play a different role in portfolios today: providing exposure to distinct parts of the AI buildout, offering potentially different valuation and earnings dynamics than developed markets, and responding differently to U.S. dollar moves. The conversation also highlights where opportunities may be emerging beneath the surface — from under-owned regions like Latin America and parts of the Middle East, to shifting sentiment around India — while underscoring the reality that EM remains volatile, cyclical, and highly heterogeneous.Key moments in this episode:00:00 Introduction01:56 Why emerging markets are drawing renewed investor attention in 202604:58 Two Decades of Underperformance06:16 Explaining The Diversification Mirage10:31 Where emerging markets can broaden portfolios — and where correlations still matter13:00 How Investors Can Get Exposure To Emerging Markets16:55 How dispersion across regions is driving more selective, active approaches19:09 Conclusions and Next EpisodeSources: BlackRock, data based on 1,245 EMEA survey submissions in February 3rd rapid response client call; BlackRock calculated using Aladdin data; “World Economic Outlook, Global Economy in Flux, Prospects Remain Dim”, IMF, October 2025; Bloomberg as at Dec 2025; BlackRock, Global Business Intelligence, as at 20 Feb 2026; BlackRock, Morningstar, Aladdin.

It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers' moves at the NHL Trade Deadline, previewed Friday's game against Carolina, line combinations, trade targets, and more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about Jake Walman's struggles and what it will take to get him back on his game. Given that the coaching staff has already moved him on every pairing on the back end, the options for getting him back up and running are extremely limited. As you'll hear, the boys were actually short on ideas for what Knoblauch and co can do with their newly extended d-man.Shifting gears, the guys looked at the last couple of games on the Oilers' schedule and how the results could not have been more different. Starting with Nathan MacKinnon getting tossed for running into Connor Ingram, the boys shared their take on the penalty and whether Nate should have been kicked out. From there, we looked at the loss in Dallas, and how it was an incredibly frustrating night after two of Edmonton's best games of the year kicked off the road trip. Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Hot and Cold Performers to look back on the week that was. With the 2025-26 season well into the stretch drive, the guys spent the bulk of the podcast moving through a range of topics, some related to the Oilers and others not, but that's the way things go on the Friday episode of ONR.00:00 - intro05:00 - delicous debate11:30 - show walman how he can play12:00 - walman was so physical in his first few games14:00 - is walman just straight up hurt16:45 - ON is just no fun anymore18:45 - MacKinnon on Ingram22:00 - did it deserve a 5?24:45 - should refs have to do post games?28:00 - stars game30:00 - McDavid scrap30:30 - podz is on another level right now35:15 - is it time for pickard?***39:30 dach and emberson hurt, bigger impact than people think?**44:00 - Betting talk 51:30 - ask the idiotsSHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!

Ever felt life spin the other way mid-stroke? We dive into a powerful Akashic Energy theme—turnaround—and explore how to pivot with grace as the season shifts from Pisces to Aries and the equinox resets the sky. Rather than bracing for impact, we lean into fluidity, using a swimmer's flip turn as our guide: coil, push, glide. That simple rhythm becomes a practice for mind, body, and spirit when plans change and expectations loosen their hold.We also share practical tools for closure, invite a creative circle mandala, and reframe rigid goals into flexible themes. Key themes include:• Akashic insight on reversals and circular movement• Equinox and astrological new year context• Letting go of rigid plans and expectations• Seeing change as part of the pattern, not failure• Closure practices for abrupt endings• Unsent letters, visualization, ritual burning• Circle mandala to map endings and beginnings• Shifting from fixed goals to guiding themes• Anchoring with breath, curiosity, and graceIf you're navigating detours, reroutes, or a full-on U-turn, this conversation will help you breathe, pivot, and find your lane again.

Most people chase a single number, believing it holds the key to lasting happiness and an end to their worries. But what happens when you hit that number, or even exceed it, and find yourself staring into an emotional abyss? This week on The Nathan Barry Show, we sit down with Mike Brown, a former Navy fighter pilot who built and sold an eight-figure oil and gas company. He achieved what many dream of – supercars, a beautiful home, and immense wealth. Yet, he still found himself losing peace and $1.5 million in a failing venture, prompting a profound shift in his definition of "rich." Join us as Mike shares his powerful journey from external validation to true freedom, revealing why our pursuit of wealth often misses the point entirely.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction02:10 Mike sells his supercars and updates his values03:55 Embracing the "buy the ticket, take the ride" philosophy06:20 From Navy fighter pilot to oil and gas entrepreneur08:45 Finding a new definition of wealth: freedom15:58 Shifting from outcome goals to process goals20:55 Understanding dirty vs. clean fuel for motivation31:05 External validation and the never-ending treadmill36:30 The power of clean fuel: purpose and service41:15 How money serves two purposes44:10 The value of experiences over material possessions48:30 The spectrum of dirty and clean fuel52:30 When greatness comes at a cost57:25 Mechanical and emotional fixes for financial fear1:05:40 Maximizing return on happiness: experimental spending1:08:00 The highest leverage investments for entrepreneurs1:10:45 The invaluable cost of peace and personal growthIf you enjoyed this episode, please like and subscribe, share it with your friends, and leave a review.

Your Next Objective podcast: Round 2, offers practical guidance and career readiness for military members, law enforcement, firefighters, organized based on how far out your transition is. In this episode, Did what you did actually make a difference?When you look back on your career so far, what are you actually measuring? For most of us in the military or first responder communities, the answer is usually how busy we were, the weight of the responsibility we carried, or the sheer number of hours we spent away from home. We're used to a world where effort and sacrifice are visible, and being the person who shows up to get the job done is everything. But there's a hard truth we often ignore: being busy doesn't always mean you're making an impact. You can put in decades of service and still struggle to explain what actually changed because you were there.In this episode, we're digging into why your ego has to take a back seat to the objective and the team. It's a shift from asking "What did I do?" to "Did what I do matter?" Shifting your focus from your title to your actual impact does more than just make you better at your current job. It helps you separate your identity from your role, which is the most important mental hurdle you'll face when it's finally time to take off the uniform. We explore how to stop using busyness as a shield and start looking for the quiet footprint you're leaving on your systems and your people.Whether your transition is months away or a decade down the road, the habits you build today define the value you'll bring to the civilian world tomorrow. We break down specific strategies for every stage of the journey:Close Range Group (Transitioning within a year): Your Value is Your Results.You need to market your experience into measurable outcomes like problems solved, efficiencies gained, or people developed. Framing your work this way makes it much easier for a civilian hiring manager to see the specific value you'll bring to their organization.Medium Range Group (Transitioning in 3 to 5 years): Improve the Systems Around You.Focus on strengthening the processes you handle every day, such as training routines, communication flows, or operational procedures. Small improvements in these areas compound over time and ensure the organization performs better even after you've moved on to your next role.Long Range Group (Transitioning in a decade or more): Serve the Mission First.This mindset is about making decisions based on what benefits the objective even when no one is watching or when you won't get any credit. Over time, putting the mission ahead of your ego builds the kind of credibility and leadership presence that defines real impact in any career.The uniform and the title belong to the role, but the impact you create belongs to you. It's time to start measuring what matters.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:IG: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/IG: https://www.instagram.com/yournextobjectivepodcast/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:GRND CollectiveGet 15% off your purchaseLink: https://thegrndcollective.com/Promo Code: TRANSITION15Frontline OpticsGet 10% off your purchaseLink: https://frontlineoptics.comPromocode: Transition10

We are in the middle of the Ask Coach Christina series. I am taking your questions this month and answering them on the podcast. This week I am answering the question of how to handle shifting friendships. There are times when everything can be going well in a friendship, but then a shift happens. It can be caused by jealousy, envy or just when one person begins to elevate. No matter what the reason of the shift it is never easy to navigate the change. Looking to God to guide you is the key. Prayer and asking God to reveal to what he is trying to show you through the shift can help ease the change. We are meant for relationships, but the right ones are key to growth!I believe this podcast is for you if:-you are find yourself in season where you see your friendships shifting and you are not sure how to handle it-you find yourself doing all you can to hold to when God is asking you to let go-you have good relationships, but know deep down God has more meaningful relationships for you.Send in your questions to:christina@christinajolly.com My 30 Day Faith to Believe devotional:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Faith to Believe – 30 Day Devotional eBook - Elevate | Christina Jolly⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with me at:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Home - Elevate | Christina Jolly⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get your FREE eBook download here:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Elevate Your Faith in 5 Minutes - Elevate | Christina Jolly⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

SUMMARY: In this episode of Ops Experts Club, Aaron Hovivian and Terryn Turner discuss the important shift from working in tasks to thinking in systems—a transition that helps move someone from an assistant role into a true operator role. They explain that task-based work is reactive and often overwhelming, while systems create structure, repeatability, and efficiency. By building processes for recurring work—like producing a podcast or launching a product—teams can ensure ideas move through a consistent workflow without relying on constant direction from leadership. Aaron and Terryn also highlight the importance of documenting processes as they are developed and using task management tools to manage responsibilities across a team. They introduce the Delegate and Elevate framework, which helps individuals categorize their work based on what they enjoy and what they are good at, making it easier to delegate lower-value tasks and focus on higher-impact responsibilities. Overall, the episode emphasizes that well-built systems allow operators to coordinate work effectively while freeing up visionaries to focus on generating ideas and driving growth.   Minute by Minute: 00:00 Introduction and Guest Appearance 01:54 Shifting from Tasks to Systems 07:37 Creating Effective Systems 11:16 The Importance of Documentation 15:13 Delegate and Elevate Process

Heritage advocates are warning shifting Dunedin to a higher seismic zone will damage the city's economy and put its iconic buildings at risk. Under a new earthquake-prone buildings bill, Coastal Otago - including Dunedin - will shift from a low to a medium seismic risk area. But a select committee was today warned of the harm this could do to a city known for its historical architecture. Tess Brunton has more.

Freeing people from the fear of death frees them to live authentically. To Lauren, this is the deepest gift of mediumship – and it's also the crack in the foundation of the systems that keep people small. Jane and Sarah sit down with Lauren Nichols, a Boston-based psychic medium, former paranormal investigator, federal government employee, and new mama. Lauren shares how a period of personal upheaval led her to wander graveyards for peace — and ultimately to capture full-body spirit apparitions on camera. What started as an unlikely foray into paranormal investigation blossomed into a full mediumship practice centered on one core mission: making spirit communication accessible, human, and far less scary. The conversation moves from reframing "haunted house" phenomena as simple requests for connection, to the surprising ways motherhood has cracked Lauren's mediumship wide open, to her use of Spirit Box technology for live, audible communication with the deceased. Lauren also reflects on the current cultural and political moment through both her government lens and her spiritual one — and makes a compelling case that mediums may be uniquely positioned to help humanity evolve. Spirits aren't trying to scare you -  they're trying to talk to you. Lauren reframes poltergeist-style activity not as malevolent force, but as an expression of a soul's desire to communicate. Shifting from fear to curiosity, and from "entity" to "person," changes the entire dynamic of the experience. Fear of the spirit world is learned, not innate. Lauren argues that we aren't born afraid of spirit -  that fear is conditioned into us through Hollywood, culture, and religious framing. Humanizing spirits by seeing them as people first dissolves much of that fear. Motherhood is one of the most powerful mediumship development tools there is. After pausing her practice in early motherhood, Lauren discovered that survival mode had burned away her perfectionism and need to "try." The result? Deeper trust, more relaxed connection, and an ability to do more with less. You don't have to have everything together to serve spirit. The pressure to be "ready" or "perfect" before showing up as a medium is a trap. Presence and trust matter far more than polish. Spirit Box / ITC technology is alive and accessible. Instrumental Transcommunication — the practice of using radio frequency scanners to communicate with spirit — has roots going back to Tesla and Edison. Lauren uses a Spirit Box live and has heard her own family members' voices through it. She believes this technology can bring an additional layer of evidential healing to mediumship. Mediums have a unique role in the current collective reckoning. Lauren draws on her government career and channeling practice to articulate what she sees happening culturally: a dismantling of identity politics, a call to acknowledge privilege, and a collective push toward unity. She believes mediums — already practiced at clearing themselves and holding space — are well-suited to lead that conversation. Freeing people from the fear of death frees them to live authentically. To Lauren, this is the deepest gift of mediumship — and it's also the crack in the foundation of the systems that keep people small. On reframing scary spirit activity: "When you view it in your mind as something that is foreign — you're doing yourself and them a disservice, because you're not giving them the credit of being human first and foremost." On motherhood and mediumship: "Since having him, I have found more enjoyment and more ability to relax in my mediumship. I don't put so much stock in what I'm doing. I just trust." On perfectionism and presence: "The more you try, the less you do. Once you've been in survival mode and you've come out of it, everything else is just small beans — and you just have to be present for it."

Standing Firm in Shifting Times - Part 10 Speaker: Jim Blalock

In this powerful episode of The Feminine Frequency, Amy Natalie sits down with trauma coach and entrepreneur Michael Unbroken to explore the raw reality of high-level success and the "existential crisis" that often accompanies it. Michael shares his journey from a childhood of extreme adversity to the heights of fame and wealth—and the moment he realized he had lost himself in the process. This conversation is a masterclass in shedding the ego, reclaiming personal agency, and the brutal necessity of truth-telling. Michael and Amy dive deep into the differences between masculine and feminine healing, the myth of "feeling ready," and why discipline will always outperform self-belief.Key Episode ThemesNavigating the disconnect between external accolades (private jets and billboards) and the internal need for soul-aligned purpose.How childhood trauma creates a "survival habit" of dishonesty and the necessity of "paying the taxes"—facing the consequences of truth—to find real freedom.Michael's process of turning horrific childhood experiences into a global mission to ensure no child has to endure the same.Shifting from the narrative of "what happened to me" to the radical responsibility of "who I am choosing to be."Why waiting for confidence is a trap and how 365 days of disciplined action creates the belief that motivation cannot.A nuanced look at how different energies require different coaching styles—challenging the "ego" versus holding a "delicate container" for healing.Using a 10-year vision to audit daily habits and the "mental masturbation" of consuming content without taking action.Why the path to the "Phoenix" requires walking through the smoldering ashes of a life built on false pretenses.SPECIAL OFFER:

 As a company, Oregon-based Nike has previously said that the average factory worker in the 13 countries it has contracts with is paid twice the amount of the local minimum wage. Past reporting from ProPublic found that less than 1% of Cambodian workers made that. Now, a new story from the publication, in partnership with The Oregonian/OregonLive, found that workers in Indonesia also do not reach that standard. On top of that, the reporting found that Nike is also shifting much of its manufacturing to parts of the country that are less-developed and where workers make much less. Rob Davis is a reporter covering the Northwest for ProPublica. Matt Kish is the business reporter for The Oregonian. They join us to share more on what their reporting revealed.

FULL STREAM 3-6-2026 1569 LONDINIUM In this broadcast, host John Batchelor is joined by guests Jeff Bliss of "Pacific Watch" and Germanicus (Michael Vlahos). Jeff Bliss details a West Coast in transition, beginning with Las Vegas, which is rebuilding through massive infrastructure projects like the Bright Line high-speed rail and the Boring Company. He contrasts the privately-financed Bright Line with California's state-run rail project, labeling the latter a $110 billion "money sink" that has failed to lay any track. Bliss's recent travels highlight a broader urban decline, describing Portland and Reno as "ghost towns" and documenting a harrowing fentanyl crisis in Sacramento right outside the state capital. He notes that despite $28 billion being allotted for homelessness, California's "Care Court" has only treated 22 people, while refinery closures and high taxes push gas prices toward $5-$8 per gallon. This economic pressure is driving a corporate exodus of pillars like Starbucks and Amazon to business-friendly states like Tennessee. (1)Shifting to international affairs, Germanicus examines the unfolding war with Iran, noting that the U.S. administration has invoked a "sacred narrative" to justify the conflict as a divinely sanctioned mission to punish "demonic forces". However, he warns of growing fissures in the U.S.-Israeli alliance. While the U.S. frames the war as one of liberation for the Persian people, Israel's objective is the existential destruction of Iran as a regional power. These divergent goals, Germanicus predicts, will create severe strategic tension as the conflict intensifies. (2)3-
