What if “the other side” doesn't look anything like you thought it would?This week, Joe L and Lauren Barnes turn the tables and interview Rita about hearing God, prophetic words, obedience, suffering, spiritual comparison, and the story behind her upcoming record, The Other Side.Rita opens up about the danger of speaking too quickly when you believe God has said something—but also the cost of staying silent because you're afraid of getting it wrong. Together, they wrestle with why Christians can become obsessed with someone else's “oil,” whether we sometimes romanticize the wilderness, and why following Jesus was never a promise that life would become easy.Sometimes the other side isn't a change in circumstances. Sometimes it's discovering that Jesus is still Jesus in the middle of them.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------00:00 Intro01:14 Welcome + Turning the Tables on Rita05:10 How Rita, Joel & Lauren Met07:19 The Prophetic Word That Changed Their Story12:06 From Friendship to Family14:12 Finding the Courage to Hear & Obey God16:40 The Missionary, the Car & the Cost of Hesitation23:15 What Happens When People Don't Obey?26:33 When It Feels Like God Didn't Show Up27:40 From Fed by Ravens to The Other Side30:17 The Other Side Is a Mindset Shift32:53 Are We Selling the Wrong Gospel?35:15 The Unseen Battles Behind the “Oil”36:48 Recognizing Jesus in the Distance40:09 Revival, Repentance & the Wilderness42:53 Don't Chase the Wilderness for the Oil47:22 You Don't Know What Their Calling Cost48:16 Stop Comparing Your Calling to Someone Else's51:22 What Are You Actually Called to Carry?53:26 Find Your Own Fragrance55:55 The Light at the End of the Tunnel1:00:32 Can You Be Disappointed and Still Be Faithful?1:02:40 What Does Contentment Really Mean?1:04:44 The Story Behind “The Other Side”1:06:25 What the New Record Will Sound Like1:08:19 “I Just Want to Know Him More”If you're enjoying the show, please rate and review!Follow Rita on ALL Social Media: https://linktr.ee/ritaspringerIf you would like to support the Worship Is My Weapon podcast you can donate to Wearing Justice at https://give.tithe.ly/?formId=0f0e22b...
Send us Fan MailSometimes we build the life we think everyone wants for us. We chase the job title that brings esteem, live in the suburb that says we've made it, and spend years keeping up with the Joneses. Then one day we realise we're working fifty or sixty hours a week to fund a lifestyle created for an older version of ourselves.In this deep, heartfelt episode, Matilda draws on her background in behavioural economics and her work as an evidential medium to explore why we fall into this pattern, and how to find our way out. She unpacks the hedonic treadmill, lifestyle creep and the sunk cost trap. She shares what loved ones in spirit so often remind us about what truly matters. And she offers practical reflection questions to help you define your own version of "enough."The episode closes with a guided meditation, The Home That Fits, where you'll set down the expectations you've been carrying and meet the version of you who is already living a peaceful life.This one is for anyone who has quietly wondered, "Is this really the life I want?"Please don't listen to the meditation while driving or operating machinery.https://www.mediummatilda.comYOU TUBE LICENCE KC5ITWFZECOLD2J8Support the show

In this concluding episode of TAL Radio's Self-Coaching Series, host Sandy sits down with Andrew Tallents to bring together the key lessons from the series and explore how self-coaching can become a lifelong habit.Andrew defines self-coaching as the practice of asking ourselves better questions when something feels uncomfortable or doesn't feel quite right, reflecting on the answers, and using that awareness to change how we show up.At the heart of the conversation are three powerful principles:Reconnect — rediscover who you are, your values, and what truly matters to you.Refocus — identify what is essential and concentrate on the things that only you can do.Regenerate — build the energy, health, habits, and resilience needed to sustain the life you want to lead.The episode explores some of the most important questions we can ask ourselves, including: What am I avoiding right now? What would I do if I wasn't afraid? What story am I telling myself? Where am I getting in my own way? And what do I need to start or continue doing?Andrew also discusses how to measure personal growth without comparing ourselves to others, how to respond to uncomfortable self-awareness, and why our core values can serve as an anchor during periods of change.The conversation also looks at accountability and the important role mentors, coaches, and trusted people can play when we reach the limits of what we can see for ourselves. Andrew explains why self-coaching and external guidance can complement each other rather than compete.For anyone looking to begin their own self-coaching journey, Andrew shares a practical four-week roadmap covering reconnection, essentialism, behaviour change, and regeneration.As the world becomes increasingly shaped by AI, the conversation also examines how technology can support self-reflection while still leaving the responsibility for understanding ourselves and changing our behaviour firmly with us.Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that self-coaching is not a one-time exercise. It is a lifelong practice of curiosity, reflection, personal responsibility, and self-kindness.Expert: Andrew TallentsHost: SandySound: Mahesh R.Producer: Archita PuranikListen in and take away one question that could change the way you understand yourself.

At seven weeks out from a bodybuilding show, the margin for error is getting smaller. You're leaner, more fatigued, more emotionally invested, and probably starting to wonder: Am I actually going to be ready?But there's another question every competitor should be asking:Does your coach actually have a plan?In Part 2 of their show prep series, Stronger By Design™ host Michelle MacDonald sits down again with top natural physique coach and FMG Mexico promoter Jean Jacques Barrett to break down what a strategically coached contest prep should look like as an athlete moves closer to the stage.This isn't just about macros and cardio. Michelle and Jean Jacques explain why your coach needs to understand your training performance, recovery, sleep, digestion, stress, menstrual cycle, travel, posing and other biofeedback, and why seemingly insignificant information can completely change a coaching decision. Jean Jacques makes the point that while the athlete may not be “driving the car,” she should understand the destinationThey also turn the conversation around: what does your coach need from you?From athletes quietly adding extra cardio or steps, to leaving out missed workouts, food struggles, poor sleep or upcoming travel, Michelle and Jean Jacques explain how incomplete information can lead even a good coach toward the wrong decision.They also tackle one of the hardest questions in contest prep: when is feeling terrible simply part of getting stage lean, and when is it a warning sign that something needs to change? Jean Jacques shares his own experience with severe fatigue, swelling and other symptoms during prep, while Michelle explains why “push harder” isn't always the right answer when an athlete is already executing the plan.You'll learn what a coach should be able to tell you about your current conditioning, division criteria and rate of progress, why posing videos provide valuable coaching data, how individualized a contest-prep diet really is, and why peak week should never be treated like a last-minute magic trick.Michelle and Jean Jacques also identify red flags that may indicate your prep isn't being managed strategically and explain the questions athletes should be asking their coaches as the show gets closer.Because at seven weeks out, you shouldn't just know what you're doing.You should understand where you're going, what your coach is watching, and why.Favorite Moments1:00 Seven Weeks Out: Does Your Coach Actually Have a Plan?2:29 Your Coach Isn't Driving Blind, But You Need to Know the Destination5:29 Think You're Bugging Your Coach?

Brigham Young University professor and religious folklorist Christopher Blythe discusses the nature of revelation, spiritual manifestations, and claims to mysticism within Latter-day Saint history and culture. The conversation examines how members and leaders can evaluate personal spiritual experiences, navigate claims of revelation that exceed proper authority, and guard against deceptive influences or speculative practices. Dr. Christopher Blythe is an assistant professor of English at BYU, where he teaches courses on folklore, myth, and Latter-day Saint literature. He holds a PhD in American Religion from Florida State University, an MA in History from Utah State University, and a BA in Religious Studies from Utah State University. Professionally, Dr. Blythe has worked extensively as a religious folklorist and historian, including previous roles with the Joseph Smith Papers Project, the Church History Department, and as a research associate at the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship. He is also the author of Terrible Revolution: Latter-day Saints and the American Apocalypse, a study on millenarianism and lay visions in Church history. As a convert who joined the Church at age 13, Dr. Blythe's research centers on “vernacular religion”—exploring how everyday members live, share, and interpret their faith on the ground. Over the years, he has served in various Church callings, including as a missionary in West Virginia, a high priest group leader, and in various local leadership and teaching assignments. He resides in Utah with his family, where he also co-hosts online content exploring Latter-day Saint history and folklore.

Hierarchy and Bounds of Revelation: Early Church history, such as the 1830 revelation regarding Hiram Page's seer stone (D&C 28), established the fundamental principle that while all members are entitled to personal revelation for their own spheres, only the head of the Church receives revelation to direct the Church as a whole. Trying the Spirits: Grounded in early revelations (such as D&C 50 and 52), leaders and members are instructed to “try the spirits” to ensure spiritual manifestations align with standard Church doctrine, priesthood channels, and sound judgment rather than self-serving claims or deceptive influences. Mysticism vs. Daily Discipleship: Spiritual trump cards or over-mystifying administrative decisions can lead to manipulation or unrealistic expectations. True spiritual grounding often manifests in consistent, daily acts of service and devotion—particularly within the family—rather than sensational claims. Historical Warnings Against Deception: Historical declarations, such as the 1913 First Presidency statement on the “Dream Mine,” warn against individuals using claims of visions, dreams, or private revelations to induce members into financial schemes, speculative ventures, or movements that undermine established priesthood authority. Leadership Applications Guiding Council Dynamics: Leaders can prevent individuals from using “spiritual trump cards” (e.g., claiming a strong spiritual feeling to override council discussions) by maintaining that decisions should be made through open, prayerful deliberation under proper priesthood keys. Handling Boundary-Crossing Claims: When members present private revelations intended to direct others, advise the ward, or promote speculative groups, leaders can refer to foundational principles of stewardship to gently clarify that personal inspiration applies only within one’s assigned sphere or family. Reframing Calls and Service: Leaders can help members focus on covenant-keeping and everyday Christlike living, reducing the cultural tendency to view callings or leadership roles through an ego-driven or hyper-mystical lens.

Why does venture capital flow heavily into construction and development, and what will it take for architectural firms to capture real value?This week on Practice Disrupted, host Evelyn Lee explores architecture's business model from the other side of the table. Evelyn sits down with Mayra Arntz, Principal at Building Ventures, an early-stage venture capital firm investing in technology for the built environment. Having built a unique career spanning field construction at open-pit mines, startup product development, and corporate strategy, Mayra brings a candid, grounded perspective on where money actually flows in AEC, and why so little of it reaches architectural design.Mayra shares her upbringing in Peru, where watching her father build roads and bridges sparked an early fascination with how physical infrastructure drives community and commerce. After studying civil engineering and voluntarily working on-site at remote mining projects to gain field experience, she moved to San Francisco for an MBA. After discovering the gap between Silicon Valley's rapid software innovation and construction's reliance on legacy systems, Mayra joined HoloBuilder as its first construction expert, eventually rising to Head of Product before overseeing venture investments and acquisitions at Stanley Black & Decker.The conversation dives deep into the realities of venture capital and technology adoption across the built environment. Mayra explains why VCs focus heavily on ConTech and PropTech over architectural design software, pointing directly to firm wallet sizes, price elasticity, and the high-growth expectations of venture returns. She also unpacks the friction of changing status-quo mindsets on job sites, offers candid advice on alternative funding paths like bootstrapping and corporate venture capital, and encourages more women to step into male-dominated leadership roles across construction, software, and venture capital. "Take the spotlight, take the risks if you want to do it. Worst thing that could happen is that it doesn't work. And then you do something else." - Mayra ArntzThis episode serves as a powerful reminder that shifting the business model of architecture requires understanding the broader economic forces driving the AEC industry. By looking beyond traditional design practice and understanding how capital, technology, and risk intersect, AEC professionals can better position themselves to drive innovation and capture long-term value. Guest:Mayra Arntz is a Principal at Building Ventures, an early-stage firm investing in technology for the built environment across ConTech and PropTech. Born and raised in Peru, she earned her degree in Civil Engineering before working in project controls on complex open-pit mining developments. After earning her MBA, Mayra transitioned into construction technology as Head of Product at HoloBuilder (acquired by FARO Technologies) and later led strategy, M&A, and investments within Stanley Black & Decker's corporate venture group (Stanley X) before joining Building Ventures.This episode is especially for you if: ✅ You are curious about how venture capital works in the AEC space and what drives investment decisions in ConTech and PropTech.✅ You want to understand why architectural software faces unique challenges in scaling and securing venture funding compared to construction tools.✅ You want strategies for overcoming tech adoption friction and changing status-quo mindsets on job sites and in offices.✅ You are an entrepreneur evaluating different funding models, including bootstrapping, corporate venture capital, and traditional VC.✅ You are looking for inspiration on breaking into male-dominated spaces like venture capital, construction, and tech leadership.What have you done to take action lately?

I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:54 Hey, Be It babe, welcome, welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast. Today we're talking about self-comparison, and ooh, I don't know if you were raised on this line, but I was raised on self-comparison is a thief of joy. I guess they didn't have the self part. The comparison is a thief of joy, and you know what? It fucking is. So here's the deal: if you have ever looked at someone else's life online or in your community and felt this immediate sinking pit in your stomach telling you that you are behind, or you just see something, and you're just, "Why them? How do they get that?" I feel that for you. I really, really do. I heard a woman say this beautiful line at a talk the other day, and I'm going to have her on the podcast. She is scheduled, so we will have an episode with her, and we'll probably talk about this deeper. But she had said this, like, hit me. She said, "If comparison is high, clarity is low," and I think if that's all you get out of this episode, then I will, then I've done my job. But today we are going to break down the hard truth. You're probably not behind at all, right? And you know this, you know. But let's talk about why are you scoring yourself on someone else's scoreboard? Because that's what comparison is, right? Lesley Logan 1:58 When we compare yourself to somebody else, it's just like we're using someone else's life and their scoreboard and going, "We are behind," but really, you're in your own fucking game. So this first part. So on Thursday we'll have a second part. We're gonna just talk about comparison and do a radical success audit because I really do want you to stop outsourcing your metrics of happiness because you are comparing yourself on data that isn't the right data you need to get to where you want to go. This is called "Be It Till You See It," right? If you are using the wrong metrics to "Be It Till You See It," you're going to end up being on someone else's costume. It's going to be, don't even know what that is. "Be it till you are in their clothes." That's not going to work. So here's the deal: I am a 43-year-old woman who is talking to you right now, and oh my god, I think I was a 43-year-old in a child's body my whole life. Maybe not that old, but I definitely couldn't wait to be at the next level in the next stage. And I definitely compared myself to so many people. Being young was so hard. I was so hard on myself because, first of all, I didn't have a lot of money when I grew up, and all my friends really did. At least, if they didn't, it seemed like they did because they went to Disneyland before I could. They had cars when they were 16. I had to buy mine, right? Like there's all these just different things that they're so. Oh my god! I was in the AP classes, and these people were so smart. My B plus was the hardest work of life that I could get. My A minuses were, and they came so easy to them. Came so easy, right? And so I remember going to college, and everybody was like finding their husbands and getting married. And I was really proud to not get married in college.Lesley Logan 3:30 I mean, because one, my college was super expensive, and two, I'm, thank God, I didn't marry those men, I would have been divorced very quickly, and I probably would have had a life I didn't want to really have a hard time. So, but I do remember after 30, my 30th birthday. I remember just feeling, "Wow, I'm behind. I am behind." Because even though I knew I didn't want kids and that kind of thing, I wasn't married. In fact, I was broken up. I broke up with my partner, and I was semi-homeless, and I had to start over with my studio and blah blah blah, and I just felt behind. Wow, you know. And then it felt every single month of not being in a relationship with the right person was now I'm not going to get married at least until I'm 31. Then it's, you know what I mean, like. And then I just remember feeling I didn't have it all locked down, and I think a lot of women feel that way at a young age, whether or not you want to have children.Lesley Logan 4:24 There's this thing we've got to get this stuff done early, and as we know, that's not true. But it doesn't mean that it still doesn't feel true, right? It doesn't. It feels true. And there's also the idea, you know, retirement is around the corner. I mean, it's not really around the corner, but I want to retire early, so it's around the corner. Do I have enough money for that? I, I should have had this many members by now, so then I could do X, Y, and Z. And so it's just, it's a really hard time because there does feel like there's a timeline, and that we're trapped, and that we are behind, even if we don't look at other people, because there's just things we want to have done by now, and the reality is, as a business owner, as long as I've been, everything takes longer than we want. It will always have problems, and all of a sudden, you'll have been there, and you'll be looking back, and wow, how did that go? Lesley Logan 5:13 Like I was at Brad's birthday party, and with a friend, and he didn't know how we met, and so I told the story. I was like, "Yeah, that was 11 years ago. That's 11 years ago. 11 years ago, when we got married, fuck. Wow, time does fly when you're having a good time. But also, we have to remember that this is a really good time for us to edit, get rid of, let go of things, not just keep accumulating, because it makes it really difficult to find the success that you want if you're trying to carry all the things from the past decades with you. So, what do you have to let go of? Is it friends? Is it a dresser you've just been shoving more shit in? Is it a car? Is it a job? Is it a goal that isn't yours? Lesley Logan 6:03 So, for example, before I became a Lululemon ambassador, this would be 14 years ago, 15 years ago. When you come to the house, you'll see that my picture is on the wall here. It's fucking huge, and I don't know what to do with it. So it's just right there, staring at you, the guest bedroom, bathroom. But they had us do this goals thing: one year, five year, 10 year goals, right? And it had to be health related and personal and business or whatever, successful, whatever. And I put down that I wanted to do a yoga teacher training. I liked going to yoga classes. I had done a Pilates instructor teacher training. I was finishing up my second one, and I was, you know, I should do a yoga one because then I can teach yoga classes because that's what everyone does in fitness. They have 17,000 certifications. They could teach all these different formats, and I should do that. And then six months later, when I looked at that sheet, I hadn't even touched. I hadn't even Googled a yoga certification. Didn't even look one up. And guess what? There was one happening in Equinox where I worked, and I didn't even think, oh, I could do that one.Lesley Logan 7:00 None of that even came to my mind, and so what that meant was I was accumulating goals that weren't right for the success that I wanted to have, and so my love, we really need to be thoughtful about the things that we haven't let go of that no longer are serving a good purpose for us right now.Lesley Logan 7:20 All right. So next thing I want us to focus on before we get into our homework audit, I want us to talk about the borrowed scoreboard. Right. So this is ideal. We often get goals from our parents, but are often your parents put goals on you. I hear parents talk about their kids today and what school they're going to go to and how they're going to be, and what sports they're going to be in, and I'm, oh my god, do the, and I can't even keep my mouth shut, which has got me in trouble. Do they even like it? And they're going to like it. They get so defensive at me, and I'm, oh, this is I'm not supposed to talk. They're just supposed to talk at me. Okay, noted. But oftentimes our parents have had goals for us, right? And so we feel like we're disappointing people when we don't do those things, and so then not only do we do them or we try to have fun doing them, we kind of keep that goal as part of who we are supposed to be.Lesley Logan 8:10 We also have past versions of ourselves that we are using still to think about how we are doing things and if we're doing a good enough job. We 10 years ago definitely could handle a 12- to 13-hour workday and sleep and still do all the workouts and eat really well. And the person of me today cannot do that. If I don't get my work done in six hours, that's it. That's all I have, folks. And I have caught myself going, "Lesley. You should be able to do this. You just sit down at dinner and get another fucking hour of work done," and I just can't. So I can't. That's me in that moment comparing myself to an old self, using that old self's scoreboard and brain and things, and social media sucks for this, right? And so goes back to that thing: when comparison is high, clarity is low. If you open up socials and you are feeling bad about yourself when it's over, my dear, there's a big sign your scoreboard is not your own, because you know that it's all a highlight reel. You know that it has to be. That's the only way this works, because you definitely don't know the people that are made fun of for not having it being the weird ones that are doing something stupid on the strip, and it will be embarrassed that someone filmed them doing that. You don't want that, so you put out the highlight reel, and not to say that you should also put yourself up crying because I really hate videos of people crying. I think we know it's a highlight reel, and yet we'll compare ourselves to others. And the thing that you cannot get in 2200 characters or in a three-second hook is all the things that went wrong before that beautiful thing went up, right? Lesley Logan 9:49 It is so. I'm pretty transparent here, so I know you guys know how much shit our business has gone through to get the things going. Because if you're a member, we're very transparent with you. If you're a listener, we talk this happened, and then that happened, and we did this, and now we're here, and now it works, and it's great, and so exciting. But it's a journey. But most people don't share that stuff, right? And that stuff also isn't sexy, so nobody wants to listen to it, anyways, because you just sound like a complainer. But the reality is that social media makes us feel like we're always behind, that we're not thin enough, that we're not pretty enough, that we're not doing enough things for ourselves.Lesley Logan 10:20 My god, to tell you the truth, I hate how I look on this podcast, and yet I will tell you right now, I don't do anything to change how I look on this podcast. But when it comes out, wow, you don't look at the camera, it's like you can't make eye contact. It would be cool, Lesley, if you just did your hair, you know. But the other thing is, is I also know that I don't really care, but it's just there's just something about it because then I see some other beautiful person on their podcast and it's just crisp and clearly filmed in 4,000k or whatever it is, 4k and 4,000k. I sound like that woman who I had podcasts which is it's 20 2000 2026. Lesley Logan 11:00 Anyways, they just look so stunning, and I know how. What I that means that they took an hour and a half to set up that podcast to look that stunning, and I could do that too. But we're not doing that because that's not who I want to be on this. But the reality is that social media often has us comparing ourselves and feeling, "Wow, I do not measure up," but you're measuring yourself to somebody else, and all this, all the support that they have that you may or may not have, right? So I think it's really important that we remember that if we're looking at the shiny front, beautiful things that others are putting out there, we are often ignoring the hidden trade-offs of and the daily maintenance of that lifestyle. We pretend they have such a beautiful background, so that means everything is beautiful. No, probably not. Probably that's the stage that they're showing you. I do yoga with this woman, and I was like, your backyard is so pretty. She's, yeah, and if I were to move this computer three inches, you would see how much storage shit is out here, but you don't because this is the perfect space to look, and so just everybody is hiding all the things that they don't want people to see because they're afraid that that will mean that they're not as successful as they are. But that's not true because they are as successful they are with the junk in the background, right?Lesley Logan 12:12 All right. So we need to shift out of a comparison spiral, right? Obviously, we need to do that. We obviously need to have that as an ability. And what I would just want to say is, if you are able to notice that you are in a comparison spiral, that is the first fucking step, and that's a great thing because most people don't even realize that they are in a comparison spiral until they're spiraled out of control. So we need to use when we feel envy as this diagnostic tool that tells you where in your current life, what that is, what is that highlighting, right? So, if I see that somebody looks so stunning in their podcast and they just look like they actually know how what they're doing and their stats look amazing, it is a sign that I actually care that I want this podcast to be successful. It actually has nothing to do with whether I think I'm beautiful or not, that I'm capable. It has everything to do with. I actually give a fuck. I care. That's why I'm jealous a little bit, right? If I look at someone who looks like they have it all together because they are articulate in how they can share what their goals are, and they have these quippy sentences that they say, and that the comparison is high, clarity must be low. It means that I care about making sure that my points that I get to come across succinctly and effectively, right? So when you notice that you're having a little bit of that, you know, jealous eye, we call Darla Jelly Grace because she, when we give Bayon attention, she comes over wants attention, right? Because she wants attention too. That's why she's jelly of the attention he's getting. So it's okay to see something in someone else and want that for yourself. It is a highlight of the thing, right? And so, if you can use it as this, oh, this is important to me, rather than some judgment tool, right? Lesley Logan 13:57 It's a highlighter. It's an expander tool, not one that is talking about how well you measure up or down, right? It's a highlight. It's oh, it's almost like if you think about in the movie Scrooged, which I guess is Charles Dickens, right? When you're visited with the ghosts of Christmas past and present and future, you just see the life that you want the ghost, the ghost of future, Christmas future. This is how your life is going to be. That's what looking at someone else's life and having a little. That means it's something that you want you to have in your future, and so that really helps you and understand what you do have to audit to get that. What you do need to do to train yourself up to do that. What is what you do actually care about? Because sometimes we say we don't care about something, we actually do care about it, right? We do, and that's okay. So just keep that in mind, because sometimes we get envious, and then we get mad at ourselves for being envious, and really, then we miss out on what the envy was trying to tell us. So this is really, really important. You cannot embody, you cannot be your future self if you are trying to step into a costume design for someone else cannot cannot be it till you see it. If what you see is being somebody else and comparing yourself to that, that's you're not able to make decisions as them because you are not them, and that's okay, right? So you can use that person to be an inspiration and put that stuff on your vision board, but it still has to be you doing those things. And so, how would you do it? And that's where the uniqueness comes in. That's where the beauty comes in. That's where why we can have five different computers out there, and I like the one that I like because they designed it for the person that I am, and they market it that way, right? That that kind of thing. So when you see something, you go, "Oh, well, they've already done it, so I can't do it." No, not true, because no one's going to do it like you, whatever the thing is, whatever the it is. Lesley Logan 15:43 So since we talked about why we feel like there's a timeline, why we feel pressure, we've talked about the scoreboards, we've talked about comparison actually just being data and information, and I think we're pretty clear that using other people's stuff and then judging ourselves on it is not helping us out. So what I want to do on the next episode is go to the big question: like, what do we put in the place of comparison and scoreboards that are not our own? What do we put in place of that judgment? So in the next episode, we're going to stop questioning our old way and start actively building your custom definition of success that matches your real life, the life you want to have, and your energy and your current season, because that's what's so important, right?Lesley Logan 16:30 So I do want to give you some homework questions because I think that that will help us get you ready for the next episode. So even if you are banging these two next to each other, just take a moment, and I want you to take. If you have more than three goals, and your top three goals. If you only have three or less than your three goals that you're currently stressing over. So got them. So who taught you that these specific things equal success? So if you are working on goals and you're until I have this, then I can't have that. Who taught you that? Where'd that come from? You might have to do some morning pages on that. Next question. This is more of a cost-benefit analysis. If you magically woke up tomorrow with the exact life of the person you're comparing yourself to, what hidden daily trade-offs or responsibilities, what do you inherit that you actually don't want? So, if you woke up as a person you're jelly of, what do you think? There, what trade-offs would you get? Right? Oh my god, so funny when I think of that. Oh god, I do not want that.Lesley Logan 17:36 I definitely love my life because, right, because I wouldn't have the husband I have, or the dogs I have, or the house I have, or the morning routine I have, I'd have to. Oh my god! I'd have to have two assistants, right? All right. So that's their next question answer. Next one we call the envy decoder. Think of someone you envied recently, stripping away their specific job or relationship or lifestyle. What is the underlying feeling or energy that they have that your current life is missing. So that person that you envied, what do you do? You think that they have more freedom? Do they have more ease? Do they have more playfulness, more visibility? Take away the actual specifics and what's the energy and vibe that they're embodying that you have a little envious towards. That's going to help you understand what you're being till you see, because you might not even actually want to do the thing that they're doing. You just might want to feel at ease doing the thing you want to do, and they look so easeful. Lesley Logan 18:25 Last one is the version of it, you know, the Be It you are trying to be right now actually yours. Are you trying to fit into costume design for someone else? I remember my ex having a party, and I remember being in this fancy dress I had to wear at this party, and I remember looking around this party and going, "I don't even know who these people are." And remember going, "I don't even want to be at this party." And then I looked at the dress, my ex bought me this dress, but I don't love this. I don't like this dress at all, and just feeling whose life is this, right? So it was my reality check, and then I moved out and crashed my car. But anyways, that's a different story for a different day, and they happen kind of over a month apart, but most of the same time. Don't worry. But I want you to do those questions because I think it will really help you in the Be It Till You See It. All right. Lesley Logan 19:21 Well, we have another episode coming up on this topic to talk about those things, and I just want to say thank you for listening so very, very much.

"You're the Enneagram expert...can't you just tell me what type I am?”It's a question I hear sometimes. And while an experienced Enneagram practitioner might have a hypothesis about someone's type, there's a reason we should be cautious about typing people based only on what we see from the outside.In this episode of Enneagram at Work, we're talking about the difference between observing someone's behavior and understanding the motivation or strategy underneath it.The same behavior can come from very different places. The coworker who stays late perfecting a presentation might be concerned about getting it right, producing an impressive result, or simply making sure they feel prepared. From the outside, we see the behavior. The Enneagram asks us to get curious about what's driving it.In this episode, we cover why common stereotypes like “helpful = Type 2,” “ambitious = Type 3,” or “quiet = Type 5” can lead us in the wrong direction; what an Enneagram assessment can (and can't) tell you; and how a trained Enneagram professional can help you ask better questions, distinguish between similar patterns, and notice things that may be difficult to see on your own.And there's an important workplace takeaway:The Enneagram should help us become more curious about people—not more certain that we already have them figured out.Instead of thinking, “She's doing that because she's a Type 6,” try asking:“I wonder what's important to her here?”Because the goal isn't to get better at putting people into boxes. It's to get better at understanding what's happening underneath the behaviors we see.References: "My Test Said I Was a Type 3. Why I'm Still a Type 7" Episode Learn more about bringing the Enneagram to your team: enneagrammba.comHave a request for a future episode? Drop a text here!
After nearly four years of night shifts at a nursing home, she had grown used to the occasional feeling of being watched. She knew which rooms had seen residents come and go, and how many of those residents had died there. Usually, she could put that knowledge aside and get on with her work.One night, renovations left her without her usual place to rest during a break. A recliner in a resident's room seemed like a comfortable alternative. The resident enjoyed company, and she only planned to stay for thirty minutes.As she drifted toward sleep, the room became bitterly cold.What happened next left her unwilling to enter that room again for the rest of the shift. She had experienced spirits before, but never anything this personal. Had she disturbed someone who still considered that room—and perhaps that chair—their own?#RealGhostStoriesOnline #HauntedNursingHome #NightShiftGhosts #GhostlyTouch #UnseenPresence #NurseGhostStories #HauntedRoom #SpiritEncounter #ParanormalExperience #GhostStories Love real ghost stories?

We talk about "someday" like it's an unlimited resource. Someday I'll do it. Someday I'll change. Someday I'll travel. Someday I'll stop caring what everyone thinks. Someday I'll finally make the decision, start the thing, leave the thing, wear the thing, say what I mean, or become the person I actually want to be. And then one day you realize someday wasn't waiting for you. Someday was all those Tuesdays you already lived. This episode isn't about aging. It's about what happens when we live as though time is unlimited while fear, conditioning, other people's expectations, and the need for certainty quietly make our decisions for us. We're looking at how easily inherited ideas about who we're supposed to be can become mistaken for identity, why we keep postponing meaningful parts of our lives until some imaginary future version of ourselves feels ready, and what happens when "being responsible" becomes indistinguishable from being afraid. This isn't a call to blow up your life because life is short. It's an invitation to look at the life you're actually living and ask a harder question: How much of it did you consciously choose? Because you don't need to panic because time is finite. You need to participate. Become A Patreon: www.patreon.com/thepositivityxperience Let's Work Together: www.thepositivityxperience.com
You know what you think. At least…you thought you did. Then you text three friends. Ask your coach. Google it. Check Reddit. Pull another card. Look for a sign. And somehow, after gathering all that information, you're less clear than when you started. What if you aren't always asking because you don't know? What if sometimes you're asking because knowing means becoming the person responsible for the choice? In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, Brenda explores the difference between seeking perspective and seeking permission - especially for empathic women who are highly attuned to other people's feelings, preferences and reactions. Because asking for advice isn't a self-trust failure. Other people have expertise, wisdom, and perspectives you may genuinely need. The question is: What job are you asking their answer to do? Are you gathering useful information? Or are you hoping someone else's certainty will make you feel safer about your own choice? Brenda shares her own experience of looking for external validation around decisions she already felt internally clear about, along with a behavioral shift POWER participant Kendra D. noticed: less asking for opinions and confirmation from others and less need to justify or explain her choices. In this episode: Why asking for advice isn't the same thing as outsourcing a decision How collecting perspectives can feel responsible when you're highly attuned to other people Why external validation can sometimes make a decision muddier instead of clearer The difference between perspective and permission How other people's feelings can begin carrying too much weight in your choices What self-trust looks like behaviorally Why good coaching shouldn't make you dependent on your coach One simple practice to use before asking someone else what they think You don't have to stop asking for support. You simply get to hear yourself first. POWER: Self-Trust for Empaths POWER isn't about replacing everyone else's answers with Brenda's. It's about developing your own discernment. The first six weeks establish the foundation, followed by a full year of coaching, practice and integration support, including three live POWER cohorts, somatic work, breathwork, community, lifetime curriculum and replays, and a private 1:1 session during your first cohort.

7:00 HOUR: Who gets the blame for the Lions defense: Holmes, Sheppard, or someone else?
What does the Bible say about individual responsibility, corporate responsibility, and systemic sin? Can someone be responsible for wrongdoing they did not personally commit? And how should Christians think about systemic racial injustice, repentance, and reparations?In this episode of the Biblical Mind Podcast, Mike Tolliver speaks with Dr. Andy Everhart about the biblical relationship between individual and communal responsibility. Drawing from examples including Achan, King Josiah, John the Baptist, and Paul's instructions to the Corinthian church, they explore how Scripture presents sin as something that can affect entire communities—not simply the individual who commits an act.Everhart distinguishes between guilt and responsibility, arguing that people may inherit responsibilities through their relationships and membership in communities without necessarily inheriting guilt for another person's actions. The conversation applies this framework to contemporary questions surrounding systemic racism and racial injustice, including the responsibilities of people who become members of communities shaped by historical wrongdoing.The discussion also considers the relationship between repentance and reparative action, asking whether genuine repentance requires more than acknowledging wrongdoing and whether repairing damage can be a necessary response to injustice.Ultimately, this episode offers a biblical framework for thinking about sin, community, responsibility, justice, reconciliation, and the ways individual actions can shape—and be shaped by—the communities around us.Link to article mentioned in podcast: "Communal Reconciliation: Corporate Responsibility and Opposition to Systemic Sin" https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ijst.12570We are listener supported.

In this episode, Cindy Esliger discusses why so many of us move from one task to the next without stopping to acknowledge what we have accomplished. Big workplace wins can be inconsistent. Promotions get delayed, exciting projects get shelved, and sometimes the scoreboard just doesn't reflect the effort we're putting into our work. When that happens, small wins matter more, not less. Cindy explains why tracking an accomplishment isn't the same as celebrating it and why deciding in advance how to treat ourselves when a win shows up can help us stop and appreciate it instead of letting it evaporate into thin air.Waiting for someone else to notice our good work can leave us feeling invisible, so Cindy encourages us to make our accomplishments visible on purpose and become more comfortable saying what we do well. She also challenges us to shift from focusing only on outcomes to recognizing effort-focused wins, because we can control our level of effort every day. A daily or weekly ritual of asking, “What's one thing that went right?” can train our brains to look for evidence that things are working instead of focusing only on what's broken or unfinished. Small wins build big careers, and acknowledging them isn't a detour from productivity. It's part of what makes the next stretch of effort possible and much more enjoyable.Work, however, is only one part of an integrated life, and Cindy reminds us that balance doesn't require giving everything equal amounts of time and energy. What matters more is alignment, making intentional choices about the most important things in every moment, and accepting the trade-offs that come with those choices. Cindy identifies seven areas where we can look for small victories: 1. Mental health, 2. Physical health, 3. Social health, 4. Intellectual health, 5. Financial health, 6. Spiritual health, and 7. Professional health. When a workplace win is scarce, that doesn't mean a win isn't available today. It may simply mean we need to look somewhere else for it, then actually celebrate it when we find it.Key Moments:00:00:07 Why We Overlook Our Small Wins00:01:25 When the Big Wins Are on Hold00:02:43 Stop Waiting for Someone Else to Notice00:05:15 Shift From Outcome-Focused to Effort-Focused Wins00:06:39 Create a Daily or Weekly Win Ritual00:08:07 Your Job Is Not Your Whole Identity00:09:29 Choose Priorities and Make Intentional Trade-Offs00:11:59 Focus on What You Are Gaining00:13:21 Seven Areas to Find Small Victories00:18:54 Pick One Small Win and Actually Celebrate It Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Recognizing Your ProgressAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Is your spouse paying for something they never did? Sometimes your reaction to your husband or wife has less to do with what is happening in your marriage today and more to do with something that happened in your past. A parent who constantly criticized you. A previous relationship filled with betrayal. Someone who abandoned you. A childhood where conflict never felt safe. Those experiences can influence how you interpret your spouse's words, actions, motives, and mistakes. This is called transference, and it can create serious problems in a marriage. In Episode 312 of the Family Meeting Podcast, Thomas and Lysandra Osterkamp discuss what transference looks like in marriage and how unresolved experiences from your past can affect the way you respond to your spouse today. You may assume your spouse is rejecting you when they simply need space. You may become defensive when they offer feedback because criticism meant something very different in your past. You may struggle to trust a faithful spouse because someone else betrayed you. You may have a huge reaction to a small disagreement because it triggers emotions connected to something much bigger. In this episode, we discuss: What transference looks like in marriage. How past relationships can influence present reactions. Why childhood experiences can create emotional triggers in your marriage. How to recognize when your reaction is bigger than the current situation. The difference between responding to your spouse and reacting to your past. Practical ways to stop making your spouse pay for someone else's mistakes. One of the most important questions you can learn to ask during conflict is: "Am I responding to what my spouse actually did, or am I responding to what this reminds me of?" Your feelings may be real, but your interpretation of what is happening may not always be accurate. Recognizing transference doesn't mean ignoring legitimate problems in your marriage or excusing unhealthy behavior. It means learning to evaluate your spouse based on who they actually are and what they actually did instead of assigning them the motives, intentions, or failures of someone from your past. Your spouse shouldn't have to keep fighting battles against people who aren't even in your marriage. Subscribe for weekly conversations on marriage, parenting, and faith.

Today, I am talking about a feeling that most of us know intimately. A feeling that most of us don't talk about: Envy. This episode is about both kinds, which turn out to be the same machine running in two different directions. We'll look at what happens inside you when you hear someone else's good news - the prize, the residency, the museum acquisition, the sold-out show - and feel that sharp jab under the ribs that bends you double. We'll talk about how, within about 90 seconds, you can pick up their achievement and swing it at your own career like a wrecking ball, and why that reaction isn't just you being “awful,” it's information. Drawing on research into “benign” and “malicious” envy, we'll separate the kind that quietly points you upwards towards the work you actually want to be making from the kind that wants to pull other people down when you feel you have no control over your own situation. We'll also talk about the other half that almost nobody names: what happens when you are the one being envied. The colleague who goes a bit cool, the snide remark at the opening, the tall poppy swipes that land at two in the morning and come home with you. This episode is an invitation to notice which kind of envy has landed, what it's trying to tell you, and how to move from resentment and comparison towards honest data and self-trust. KEY TAKEAWAYS Envy is a two-way machine. It's one word for two different emotions, both triggered by someone else's good news but pulling you in very different directions. When you envy others, ask what kind it is. The benign kind pointing you towards your own next step, or the malicious kind that needs you to reclaim your sense of agency. Expect some envy, some odd weather as you become more visible: the cool colleague, the snide remark. Pause and sort what you're seeing and hearing. Warm, awkward admiration gets a “thank you”; real nastiness usually gets no response and never results in a smaller you. BEST MOMENTS “When it (envy) lands, ask what kind you've got. If it's pointing you upwards towards work that you want to be making and you're not currently making, it's data, useful data.” “Being envied by someone whose eye you trust is a form of recognition that no review will ever give you. That artist had the benign kind.” “People are far more accepting of success they believe was earned and feel justified in cutting down success that looks like bragging or luck or shortcuts.” PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

Do you feel like you have been following someone else's advice for so long that your business no longer feels like your own? I'm seeing this happen so often right now among women entrepreneurs, and it's time we talked about it!You join someone's mastermind or coaching container because you want what they have. You learn their strategy, how they run their business, how they show up... and it works great. But somewhere along the way, you realise the version of you that created those results doesn't actually feel like you any more, and isn't aligned with your values. That's what I'm talking about today: the identity work behind building an aligned business, the difference between identity expansion vs imitating someone else's, and how to create your own version of success.Topics covered on Identity Work:What's the difference between identity expansion and identity imitation?How do you end up losing yourself when following someone else's version of success?What happens when a strategy works but feels completely wrong?How do your values shape the way you sell, lead, and show up in your business?What does real identity work look like, and where did the identity you're building actually come from?Connect with Rebecca Haydon:Apply to work with meCome say hi on Instagram | YouTube | WebsiteRelated episodes:296.

Bizarre fact, if you tell people you're genuinely happy being single, they don't believe you. You, in fact, may be among the doubters when it comes to your single-at-heart friends. Bella DePaulo has spent more than three decades studying what happens when someone is genuinely, unapologetically happy being single, and one thing keeps showing up in her data. People don't believe them. In studies where participants read identical biographies, differing only in one line, single or married, the single people who said they were happy were assumed to be exaggerating. The married people were taken at their word.Bella is a social psychologist (Ph.D., Harvard) and the author of Single at Heart: The Power, Freedom, and Heart-Filling Joy of Single Life. Her TEDx talk on what no one tells you about single people has been watched more than 1.8 million times, and The Atlantic has called her America's foremost thinker and writer on the single experience. She's been writing the Living Single blog at Psychology Today since 2008, and she founded the Foundation for the Empowerment of Single People. In this conversation, Jonathan and Bella dig into what her research, drawn from more than 20,000 people across over 100 countries, actually shows about who thrives alone, who doesn't, and why the cultural story about both gets it backwards.In this one, you'll hear about the single sentence Bella clipped from a newspaper column in 1992 that started her whole body of work. You'll hear why she believes solitude and loneliness are separated by exactly one thing, not personality, not introversion, but choice. You'll hear the surprising story of what actually happened to single-at-heart people during pandemic lockdown, when isolation should have driven them straight into relationships. You'll hear why married people tend to become more insular over time, and what that quietly costs them later in life. And you'll hear the real story behind a bike accident, a hospital, and forty-nine people who showed up.If you've ever loved your own company more than you're supposed to admit, or if you've ever wondered whether your relationships would survive without one person at the center of them, this conversation will change how you think about both.You can find Bella at: Website | Instagram | Episode TranscriptNext week, we're sitting down with bestselling novelist Jodi Picoult to talk about how she steps inside the minds of people whose lives look nothing like her own, and why that kind of empathy might be one of the most undervalued skills we have.Midlife Design Lab: I'm opening up an intimate retreat with me and a small, curated group in Boulder, CO (Oct 24-25, 2026), followed by 3 months of virtual group coaching.

A child is doing fine, doing homework, laughing easily, getting along with everyone, and then over a few weeks they become someone else. Explosive anger over nothing. Can't sit still. Can't focus. Grades fall off a cliff, and the school has one word ready: ADHD. In this solo episode, Dr. Chris Motley asks the question almost nobody in that meeting asks: what if the personality change didn't start in the child's personality at all, but with a tick bite nobody noticed? Dr. Motley explains why a sudden, overnight personality change in a child, explosive anger, isolation, loss of focus, deserves a second look before accepting an ADHD label. He breaks down why Lyme disease is called "the great imitator," the biology behind "Lyme rage," how to build a timeline that helps your pediatrician rule infection in or out, and which labs and herbs he trusts in his own practice. Timestamps [00:00:00] - The child who became someone else [00:01:46] - A mother's story: normal one week, unrecognizable the next [00:04:16] - The tick bite nobody noticed [00:05:13] - When ADHD becomes the label, and the guilt that follows [00:08:00] - Knowledge as relief: what the lab tests actually found [00:09:10] - How to test for Lyme disease the right way [00:13:42] - Lyme disease: the "great imitator" [00:15:13] - Why ADHD and Lyme symptoms overlap so closely [00:21:29] - The genetics of ADHD: DDC, MAOA, and the "warrior gene" [00:26:32] - Back to Lyme rage: how inflammation turns a gentle child aggressive [00:30:48] - Getting tested: why a standard Western blot can miss it [00:33:26] - Picking the right lab: Vibrant Wellness, IGeneX, DNA Connexions [00:36:48] - Chinese medicine and the liver: why anger lives in an organ [00:39:12] - The herb protocol: cat's claw, Japanese knotweed, cryptolepis [00:42:13] - Closing: "Trust what you see in your kid" Key Takeaways A sudden personality change is the single biggest clue. Motley's rule of thumb, echoed by Lyme specialists: gradual, lifelong attention and behavior issues usually point to real ADHD. A dramatic shift that happens within days or weeks, especially after time outdoors, is worth a second look for an infectious cause before settling on a behavioral diagnosis alone. "Lyme rage" is a real, named phenomenon, not a scare tactic. Lyme disease crossing the blood brain barrier can drive neuroinflammation that shows up as sudden irritability, anxiety, and explosive anger. It is documented by Lyme-literate clinicians and patient organizations, though it is not a formal psychiatric diagnosis. The lab you choose changes the answer you get. A standard five-band Western blot can miss a real Lyme infection if it does not happen to test for the specific Borrelia strain present. Comprehensive panels from labs built specifically for tick-borne disease test for a much wider range of strains and co-infections. This is not an anti-ADHD or anti-medication episode. Motley repeats, more than once, that he is not telling anyone to stop treatment or medication. The message is narrower: if a child's ADHD treatment is not producing progress, or the onset was sudden, it is worth asking your pediatrician whether an infection could be part of the picture. Build a timeline before your next doctor's visit. Write down when the behavior actually changed, whether it was sudden or gradual, and whether there was time outdoors, hiking, or in tall grass beforehand. That single piece of paper is what turns a vague conversation into a specific one. The liver-anger connection is Traditional Chinese Medicine's oldest lens on rage. In TCM, a congested liver is associated with unflushed histamine and irritability. Motley uses this as his starting point for herbal support, independent of whether Lyme disease is involved. The comfort matters as much as the information. Motley spends real time telling parents, in his words, that "the old medicine never blamed the child, never blamed the parent." For a parent who has done everything right and is still watching their child struggle, that reframe is arguably the most valuable thing in the episode.

Dr. Motley emphasizes not stopping or changing any ADHD medication or treatment without consulting your child's pediatrician.
