This episode explores the powerful difference between living from softness and reacting from survival. While we may long for peaceful, supportive surroundings, life doesn't always cooperate. So how do we stay grounded and open when the world around us feels loud, rushed, or harsh? Through reflection and practical tools, we'll look at how to generate calm, clarity, and love from within—regardless of our circumstances. Because softness isn't about weakness—it's about strength rooted in presence, gratitude, and trust. When we stop resisting life and start responding with awareness, we create space for more peace, possibility, and joy.

Is there a clear and deliberate agenda against men and boys in culture today? Or, is it simply a byproduct of the relative ease of modern times. My guest today, Pastor Douglas Wilson, makes the case that it's a combination of both and, more accurately, than “modern times,” a result of “wealthy times.” And, if that is the case, what should men do for ourselves and for the future of our children and this world? Today, Doug and I talk about rebuilding strength and order in our lives and instilling it in our boys, how exactly men can step up against the lunacy and degeneracy we see in modern culture, why men make inferior women and vice versa, why reality calls for us, as men, to reckon with the dangerous times in which we live, and why masculinity cannot (and, should not) be legislated away.

Elle Rowley is a woman on a mission to change the perception of motherhood. For someone who believes motherhood gave her the confidence to do more and be more in life, she wants to help others begin to view motherhood as transformative instead of something to be endured. On this week's episode, we talk with Elle about why she believes motherhood is a hero's journey—one absolutely worth taking.   “[Motherhood] tests every part of you but on the other side of that is transformation. It is finding yourself, it is knowing yourself. That archetype is a Christ archetype. It is service. It is losing yourself and finding it.”   3:12- Potential Unlocked 7:15- Softness, Humility and Open-Heartedness 13:35- Combatting Feelings of Inadequacy 16:12- Maiden, Mother, and Matriarch 21:37- Experiencing Our Own Paths 24:37- Nothing Too Precious 28:16- Losing Your Life 32:38- “Bring the Baby” 39:58- Honoring Our Elders 44:08- Grandma Moses 49:49- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

“Feel is knowing what to do, timing is knowing when to do it” ~ Elsa Sinclair   In this episode of The Horsemanship Breakthroughs Podcast, I am joined by Elsa Sinclair- the creator of Taming Wild & Freedom Based Training.    Elsa comes from a family of horse trainers she has had a meandering journey through many different styles of horsemanship until she stumbled on a question that needed exploration. What if horses were given a choice? Would they let us ride them? Without force or tools to control and without bribes to lure them?   

In this emotionally resonant and deeply insightful episode of FamilyLife Today, hosts Dave and Ann Wilson continue a heartfelt discussion with Jennifer and Allen Parr, focusing on marriage dynamics, spiritual leadership, and the power of softness, particularly from wives toward their husbands. This episode explores the layered meanings of what it means for a wife to approach her husband in a “soft” manner, not as a form of weakness or subservience, but as an intentional act of humility, encouragement, and grace.Jennifer reflects on her personal growth in communication, having learned the transformative power of open-ended questions like "Are you open to this?" instead of using rigid language like "you should" or "you need to." The Parrs discuss how this subtle shift has positively impacted their marriage and can open the door for honest conversations in others.The conversation then pivots to one of the most common marital tensions: the desire for a husband to be the spiritual leader of the home, especially when he either lacks interest or simply doesn't know how. Allen offers practical insight into the nuances between unwillingness and inexperience. He advises wives to approach their husbands with grace and patience, emphasizing curiosity over criticism.Dave and Ann echo these sentiments by sharing their own experiences with unmet expectations and communication pitfalls, including a powerful moment when Ann praised Dave for praying with their kids—an act that motivated him more than any criticism ever had.The discussion also dives deep into childhood trauma, particularly the lasting impact of growing up in a fatherless home. Allen vulnerably shares how the absence of his dad from age six left him feeling inadequate as a husband and father—despite his current devotion to his family and ministry. This leads to a broader conversation about compassion, empathy, and healing through understanding a partner's personal history.The episode wraps with an acknowledgment of the strength in softness: how humility, grace, and genuine encouragement can transform marriages. The Wilsons and the Parrs agree that this kind of softness is not passivity, but rather a powerful way to cultivate connection, spiritual leadership, and long-term relational growth.

There comes a time in every woman's life where the version of her that built everything no longer fits. She doesn't recognize herself anymore. She's brand new. And that scares the hell out of her. In today's episode, we're talking about the sacred art of reinvention - but the messy, unglamorous middle part that can make you feel like you've lost your mind. The in-between, where you're not who you were, but you're still figuring out who you want to be. It's the part nobody else talks about, but it's also the part where the magic unfolds. We're talking soft power. Softness as strategy. And what it looks like to quietly become that bitch. Grab a notebook for this one, I'm sharing lots of journal prompts + things to think about!

I don't just want my son to be “nice.” I want him to be dangerous. Not reckless, not cruel—dangerous. The kind of man who knows how to protect, provide, and stand tall when life throws punches. Because the world doesn't care about your feelings. It respects strength, discipline, and men who can carry the weight when others fold. Raising a dangerous man doesn't mean teaching violence—it means teaching control. It's about sharpening his instincts, hardening his resolve, and building a code he can live by. I want him to have the confidence that only comes from knowing he can handle himself and protect what matters. A man who's capable of violence but chooses peace? That's a man people respect. That's a man people follow. That's who I'm raising. Softness isn't safety. Compliance isn't strength. I'd rather raise a lion and teach him restraint than raise a sheep and pray he never meets a wolf. So no, I'm not raising him to be palatable to the world. I'm raising him to be prepared—for the weight of responsibility, for danger, for leadership. Because one day, it won't be me protecting him. It'll be him protecting others.

A huge turning point - that lead to a mental breakdown and agoraphobia and how she overcame it. Becoming a mum and how that influenced her as a person and a rider.

If you've been following Shelby Dennis (aka Milestone Equestrian / @sdeques on social media), you know she doesn't shy away from the hard conversations. She's a passionate advocate for horse welfare, uncovering the harsh realities of the horse industry, and pushing for real change. Shelby is a professional horse trainer and equine behavior consultant with over 24 years of experience across multiple disciplines—including Arabian showing, hunter/jumpers, dressage, and even racehorses. She's also taken her education seriously, working toward her Certificate of Equine Science and earning her Equine Behavior Consultant certification through IAABC. Her approach to training has evolved massively over the years, moving away from traditional punishment-based methods toward a more ethical, science-backed way of working with horses. She's an incredible voice in the equestrian space, and I have so much admiration for the work she's doing! In this episode, we dive into:

The Man In The Arena"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."Chapters00:00 - Introduction and Housekeeping02:59 - Youth Training Tools and Their Impact06:09 - Navigating Parental Emotions in Youth Sports09:13 - The Pressure of Competition and Personal Attacks12:05 - Chirping and Its Impact on Young Athletes18:08 - The Softness of Spectator Behavior20:55 - Standing Up Against Disrespect in Competition24:23 - The Emotional Rollercoaster of Watching Your Child Play27:05 - Learning from Adversity in Youth Sports29:43 - The Individuality of Baseball and Its Impact on Young Players33:16 - Responsibility and Growth in Competitive Environments37:24 - Extracting Value from Experiences39:21 - Pitch Count Awareness and Youth Baseball SafetyLinksStart training with Driveline now with Academy Flex:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/academy-flex/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Develop bat speed with our Youth Power Bat for just $99!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/product/youth-power-trainer/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Skills That Scale: The Complete Youth Baseball Training Manual is out now!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/product/skills-that-scale-training-manual/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Train bat speed and barrel accuracy with our Youth Underload Smash bat - just $79!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/product/youth-underload-smash-bat/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⬇️ Hosts ⬇️Deven Morgan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/devenmorgan ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jeremy Tecktiel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/jeremytecktiel ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this episode of She Who Paints, I sit down with ceramic sculptor and visionary artist Jen Dwyer, whose intricate, sensual, and playful works challenge patriarchal narratives while embracing the sacred feminine. Jen opens up about her artistic journey, from her early influences to her deep connection with Rococo aesthetics and how she uses clay and paint as a medium for storytelling, healing, and reclaiming feminine power. We talk candidly about how she navigates the art world and working with moguls like Hashimoto Contemporary gallery while staying true to her inner voice. Whether you're an artist, a lover of ceramics, or someone drawn to the mystical and feminine in art, this episode will leave you inspired to create from your truth and honor the stories your body holds.

This one's going to sting, loves… But we need to talk about feminine energy. Specifically, we need to talk about performative feminine energy. We're seeing a huge resurgence in embracing feminine energy…and that's fucking amazing. We love to see it. But with that resurgence, I'm also seeing an upswing in people mistaking performative femininity for actual feminine embodiment. And if you don't know the difference (or don't know shit about the feminine, period) don't stress. We're going to fix that right tf now.   WORK WITH MICHELLE:  Join THE CONNECTED WOMAN, a shadow work course for the woman who is ready to break free from the anxious/avoidant dance in relationships and step into unfuckwithable confidence, security, and self-worth: https://michellepanning.com/the-connected-woman Sign up for THE EXPERIENCE, an exclusive 12-month mentorship experience where you go all in on YOU (aka, you get direct access to me as a mentor, access to every offer I run over your year, and MORE): https://michellepanning.com/the-experience   CONNECT WITH MICHELLE: Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/michellepanning Website: http://www.michellepanning.com

I hate to state the obvious, but we live in a divisive time. Everyone is quick to pick a fight or react with sharpness, even harm. Everyone is in hyper-survival mode. So how are we supposed to create communities of care when we're too busy cutting each other down? How can softness help us remember our common humanity?In this week's episode, I share some insights I learned while laid up in bed for two weeks with the worst case of the flu I'd ever seen, including how we might connect with the simple kindness of a smile.

In this episode of The Horsemanship Breakthroughs Podcast, I'm joined by the incredible Kelly de Geus: an amazing horsewoman known for her ability to train horses the piaffe in a light, soft, willing, biomechanically correct way. Kelly de Geus is a dedicated horse trainer and coach from the Netherlands, who has been captivated by horses for as long as she can remember. For over a decade, Kelly's main focus has been on training horses herself, developing a specialty in teaching horses to piaffe and passage in hand. This is always a result of optimal communication and body use, and never a quick fix or trick. Having trained over 1000 horses in hand, Kelly now primarily focuses on sharing the knowledge she gained by doing so, thereby helping more people (and, in turn, more horses) feel better, improve posture and optimise performance.   I first reached out to Kelly for online lessons years ago after being mesmerised by how light and happy her horses looked in the piaffe. At the time, she didn't have online resources, but she agreed to help me through online lessons and I was blown away by her approach. She taught me that that piaffe is reflection of correct basics, and that there are a sequence of things that need to be in place before the piaffe is possible. Her values in training horses align closely to my own so I am so happy to share her voice with the horse world.   In this episode, we cover: ✨ The true purpose of piaffe as a diagnostic and gymnastic exercise (it's more than just fancy footwork and it's not a ‘circus trick'!) ✨The importance of conncection, communication, & biomechanics ✨ Common mistakes & how to know if your horse is ready to start training the piaffe ✨ The groundwork that sets the foundation for collection ✨ Adjusting her training approach to different horses  ✨The role of positive reinforcement in her training ✨Plus so much more! If you've ever dreamed of training the piaffe, this is THE episode for you!

I sat down with Chloe Bailey, a welfare-concious ‘amateur' horse trainer who has, like many of us, been asking those horse welfare questions and contemplating on how we can best navigate the use of reinforcement types in training.   We spoke about: Chloe's horse journey and how she navigates the use of reinforcements in training What led her to explore positive reinforcement (R+) Overcoming guilt from past training methods and advice for others facing the same struggles Balancing idealism with practicality in training The biggest misconceptions about positive reinforcement (R+) and negative reinforcement (R-) Dealing with a shift in identity after moving away from traditional horse communities Experimenting with longer delays between the click and reward – key insights The future of R+ in the horse world – what changes Chloe hopes to see in the next 5–10 years How becoming a mother has changed her horsemanship The challenges of being a horse mum and human mum – and how she manages them Chloe's latest horsemanship breakthrough Her favourite horse books and resources- including 2 authors that are completely new to me which I'm excited to read Her personal horse goals for the future Plus so much more!
