What if the world's most elite pilots and astronauts aren't just highly trained, but perceptive in ways science still struggles to explain? In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Iya Whiteley—Aviation & Space Psychologist and founder of Cosmic Baby Academy—reveals why the cognition of pilots and astronauts differs fundamentally, and what their mental wiring can teach us about intuition, creativity, consciousness, and extrasensory perception. We explore why they're often driven more by curiosity and creativity than fear or ambition—and why so many are artists or musicians. Dr. Whiteley explains how safety-critical environments sharpen awareness, yet make experts reluctant to share the intuitive or “non-rational” roots of their decisions. From martial arts and embodied intelligence to the idea that intellect may live in the muscles (not just the brain), we unpack how heightened presence allows some to anticipate movement, energy, or events beyond the five senses. Could this explain why experts are studied to understand ESP, even when they can't explain it? Dr. Iya Whiteley breaks down: - Reports of extrasensory perception in extreme situations - Spherical awareness, synesthesia, psi abilities, and other heightened perception - Why intuition becomes harder to access once we try to explain it - How rigid rules suppress expertise, isolate experts, and block knowledge transfer - Why fear of having our minds “read” may motivate us to clear negative thoughts (& what that says about thought's power) - Whether mindsets create change, or environments respond to mindset - How internal organs & physiological responses differ in pilots & astronauts - Family Constellation Therapy: what it is & how it works - Childbirth visions & pre-birth communication during pregnancy & birth - Synchronicity & meaningful coincidences: how they form lifelong patterns The conversation extends into the UAP/extraterrestrial phenomenon, where Dr. Whiteley explains how her pilot and astronaut research applies to these encounters. Pilots report instruments switching on and off, unexplained objects in the sky, and real danger from distraction during critical flight moments—yet many fear reporting events due to stigma and professional risk. She shares a striking account of a helicopter pilot who encountered something mysterious while transporting a classified object, and introduces the “Astronaut's Eye” phenomenon, showing why sharing anomalous experiences is essential to legitimizing them and advancing understanding. This episode challenges the boundaries between science, intuition, embodiment, and consciousness—and asks: What becomes possible when we stop dismissing experiences that don't fit existing models? If you're interested in pilots, astronauts, ESP, UAPs, intuition, consciousness, or the future of human perception, this is a conversation you don't want to miss!

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul, and it's Wow Wednesday. I always try to share awe-inspiring or surprising stories with you on Wednesdays, and I have new ones for you from our latest bestseller, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Pets, Pets, Pets. This book has been a big success, and I think it's because of the tremendous variety of pets we talk about and all the different ways in which they become part of their humans' lives. One of those ways is through being rehabbed. Our writers are a great bunch of people and it's amazing how many of them have gone way beyond anyone's expectations in saving injured animals--both domestic pets and wild animals. Today I'm going to share a couple of stories from people who found a lot of joy in helping out those animals, starting with J.A. Rost. She tells us that her daughter called to say that her husband Brad had rescued a baby bat, and they were going to try and save it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Send a textAs creator, sustainer & finisher of all things, God is the only one who can demand our total unrestricted and undivided love. Our investment into a relationship with Him beyond our personal comfort & satisfaction. Because His expectation of love is based on creative capacity; He built us first for Himself. It's a love expression so incomparable to any earthly relationship – it's just radical.

Info Stealers Target OpenClaw, a Robot Vacuum API Flaw Exposes Thousands, Best Buy Fraud Shows Zero Trust Context, and Canada Goose Data Leaked via Supplier The episode covers multiple security incidents and lessons. Hudson Rock details how an info stealer malware infection can vacuum OpenClaw data, including authentication tokens, master keys, device private cryptographic keys, and the agent-defining soul.md file that can reveal a "mirror" of a user's life; the attack was not targeted, raising concerns about upcoming dedicated OpenClaw-stealing modules. A hobbyist coder using an AI coding tool to reverse-engineer DJI Romo communications unintentionally accessed roughly 7,000 robot vacuums in 24 countries, enabling live camera and microphone access and floor-plan generation due to missing messaging-level access controls; DJI also shares infrastructure with portable home battery stations and initially claimed the flaw was fixed before a live demonstration showed it was not. Two Best Buy cases illustrate that Zero Trust must consider behavior and context: a Florida employee allegedly used a manager override code 149 times from March–December 2024 to buy discounted electronics, costing about $120,000, while a Georgia case involved over $40,000 in merchandise leaving a store over two weeks amid claims of blackmail. Finally, ShinyHunters leaked about 600,000 Canada Goose customer records, but Canada Goose found no breach in its systems; the data was attributed to a third-party payment processor breach from August 2025, with records largely dating from 2021–2023, underscoring supply-chain risk and ongoing fraud/phishing potential.

Host: Scott Stoner, Episcopal pastor and licensed marriage and family therapist Episode Summary Recorded the day before Ash Wednesday, this introductory episode launches the Lenten podcast series centered on the theme Cultivating Healing and Wholeness with All Your Heart, Soul, Strength, and Mind. Scott reflects on what it means to tend to our whole selves during the 47 days of Lent, drawing on his 40 years of experience as pastor and therapist. Key Themes Scott opens with a simple but powerful question: When was the last time someone genuinely asked how you're doing? He invites listeners to treat Lent as an annual spiritual check-up — an unhurried season to reflect on body, mind, heart, and soul. Healing, he suggests, is less like a lightning bolt and more like tending a fire: patient, gentle, and attentive. The Ash Wednesday words "Remember that you are dust" are framed not as shame but as an invitation to humility and openness. He also introduces the Living Compass model of well-being — four quadrants (Heart, Soul, Strength, Mind) with eight dimensions of wellness — and reminds listeners that wellness begins with "we." Resources Mentioned Daily readings booklet — PDF download or daily emails available at livingcompass.org Living Compass App — search "Living Compass" in your app store or visit app.livingcompass.org; includes guided Lenten meditations; free trial for one year, then $10/year Spanish-language content — daily reflections by Estela Lopez and Pedro Lopez (Bruja La De Vida), PDF available at livingcompass.org and posted daily on the Bruja La De Vida Facebook page During This Series Two new podcast episodes will be released each week throughout Lent. Blessings on your Lenten journey.

The MyPad CEO: David Green on Building Legacy Beyond BusinessIn this remarkable conversation, Hobby Lobby founder and CEO David Green sits down with host Justin Forman at the company's Oklahoma City headquarters to share the story behind one of America's most distinctive faith-driven businesses. From humble beginnings in a 600-square-foot store to leading an $8 billion enterprise with over 1,000 locations, David's journey reveals what happens when stewardship replaces ownership.At 84 years young, David still carries his trusty "MyPad" (a paper notepad) instead of a computer, operates as CEO, and shows no signs of slowing down. This episode explores the pivotal moments that shaped his understanding of true ownership, the Supreme Court case that tested his family's convictions, and the generational framework that ensures Hobby Lobby's mission extends far beyond profit.Key Topics:From pastor's son to retail pioneer: The journey from five-and-dime stores to Hobby LobbyThe Supreme Court case that cost $1.2 million per day—and why they'd do it againWhy closing on Sundays and rejecting Halloween cost millions but gained something greaterThe backyard prayer that changed everything: "What would you do if the Jones family owned it?"Building a family constitution: How 48 family members align around eternal valuesThe danger of generational wealth and why no Green family member gets anything they don't earnGiving half of all earnings away: The mathematics of trying to "out-give God"Legacy planning with a thousand-year horizonNotable Quotes:"God gave you everything you need, any good thing that's in your life. God gave you. I need to be at a point where I died of myself and said no, no, no, this is not mine. I'm a steward." - David Green"If you think it's yours, then you're gonna guide it. But if you really feel like God has given this to you to be a steward of what belongs to him, I think that's a good starting spot." - David Green"We want to make sure we're tied into someone's life for eternity, because they're gonna be very comfortable if they don't know Jesus." - David Green

Empowered Relationship Podcast: Your Relationship Resource And Guide
Why do so many relationships, despite the best intentions, end up stuck in cycles of hurt, disappointment, or disconnection? We search for "the one," hope for a soulmate to fulfill us, and cling to romantic ideals—even as we find ourselves repeating old patterns and feeling powerless when things get tough. The real challenge, it seems, isn't just finding love, but learning how to nurture it consciously and responsibly. What if the secret isn't about changing others, but transforming how we relate, both to ourselves and to our loved ones? In this episode, discover how to break free from the unconscious habits that sabotage intimacy, shift out of victim mindsets, and reclaim your personal power within relationships. Learn why conscious love is an ongoing practice—not just a feeling—and explore actionable principles for moving past reactivity into mature, collaborative connection. Through insights on emotional intelligence, responsibility, healing past wounds, and embracing vulnerability, you'll gain tools to create deeper, more authentic bonds and turn your relationship into a dynamic space for growth. Christian de la Huerta is a spiritual teacher, personal transformation coach, and award-winning author with over 30 years of experience. He has spoken at TEDx and led transformational retreats around the world. His books include Coming Out Spiritually and Awakening the Soul of Power. His latest book, Conscious Love: Transforming Our Relationship to Relationships, offers practical tools for healing and deeper connection. Episode Highlights 06:16 Identifying and overcoming subconscious obstacles to love. 09:41 Approaching relationships as paths for personal growth. 11:18 Choosing conscious relationship through self-awareness and intention. 13:54 Differentiating emotional intensity from real intimacy and love. 19:04 Balancing self-agency and interdependence in relationships. 20:24 Letting go of the victim mindset and embracing responsibility and power. 23:33 Understanding personal power versus ego power in relationship dynamics. 29:00 Tools for cultivating deep connection. 32:26 Assessing relationship health through growth and transformation. 34:36 Integrating somatic practices and breathwork for healing. 38:06 Expanding relationship consciousness and integrating transformative experiences. Your Check List of Actions to Take Take Responsibility: Own your choices and responses in relationships rather than blaming others or past experiences. Practice Self-Awareness: Regularly pause to check in with your feelings and triggers, asking yourself what's really going on beneath the surface. Move Beyond the Honeymoon Phase: Recognize that love is not just a feeling—commit to the act of loving even when the initial intensity fades. Stop Searching for "The One": Shift your mindset from finding someone to fulfill you to consciously practicing love principles in your relationships. Heal Old Wounds: Reflect on parental or past relationships to notice patterns you might be unconsciously repeating and seek ways to address them. Use Conflict as Growth: When triggered, resist the urge to react immediately; instead, get curious about the underlying source and use the moment for personal evolution. Communicate Your Needs: Express your preferences and boundaries clearly while also listening and compromising for mutual benefit. Integrate Mindfulness Practices: Develop habits like meditation or breath work to build present-moment awareness and emotional regulation in your daily life and relationships.

What happens when pastors care for everyone else—but neglect their own soul? In this episode, Loren talks with Bill and Kristi Gaultiere, founders of Soul Shepherding and co-authors of Deeply Loved: Receiving and Reflecting God's Great Empathy for You. Together, they explore why emotional health is not optional for Christian leaders—and why empathy begins with receiving God's love, not just offering it to others. Drawing from decades of experience in psychology, spiritual direction, and ministry leadership, the Gaultieres unpack the difference between empathy and indulgence, how unaddressed shame leads to burnout, and why pastors must have a safe place to be listened to and prayed for. They also discuss: Why emotions are gifts—but terrible masters The danger of processing unresolved wounds from the platform Burnout warning signs every pastor should recognize Compassion fatigue and isolation in ministry Why leaders must receive pastoral care, not just provide it This conversation is a candid and practical guide for church leaders who want their ministry to flow from healing and authenticity rather than exhaustion and performance. Bill is a psychologist (PhD) and ordained pastor and Kristi is a licensed professional counselor (PsyD). Together they lead Soul Shepherding, which is a nonprofit ministry to help pastors, leaders, churches, and others to go deeper with Jesus in emotional health and loving leadership. They lead immersive retreats that integrate Jesus-centered psychology and spiritual formation. Participants have the option to earn a Certificate in Spiritual Direction to improve their relationship skills and earn side income as a spiritual director or coach. They are authors of a number of soul care books, including Journey of the Soul, which was #1 on Amazon in Christian Counseling, and Healthy Feelings, Thriving Faith. Their newest book is Deeply Loved: Receiving and Reflecting God's Great Empathy for You. Bill and Kristi have provided over 100,000 hours helping clients in therapy or spiritual direction. They were also personally mentored by Dallas and Jane Willard for many years. They have developed a unique approach to spiritual direction that is informed by their Jesus-centered psychology. Their two-year Certificate in Spiritual Direction training program is a hybrid of in person retreats and online training (or it can be completed 100% online) and currently has over 150 students participating.

Dearest Listeners,This episode is a bit lengthy, but well worth your time, if I must say so myself. I just realized that I'm going to begin calling my approach to astrology "Soul Speak" astrology. As with each episode, I review them before they reach your ears. Yes, there have been a few times when I've had to redo a recording.In this episode, I can sense an urgency which I am entitling "The Aquarian Calling". While listening to what I'm sharing with you, I hear my "Inner Wise" self asking me what am I willing to change in my life? In all honesty and with transparency, I'm starting with doing greater promotion of the content I am producing each month. Because this Solar Eclipse is sitting at the top of my chart, on my Midheaven, I'm in essence receiving a message that it's time to step up, and answer my "Aquarian Calling and Go Far".I'm encouraging you to listen, turn and embrace your "Genius Zone" and set your intention on something that is uniquely yours. Why is this important? If each of us fully, truthfully and courageously embraces something uniquely of self, this is where things around us will begin to change. Collectively and personally this new beginning starts with fully believing in the vision of our worthiness. Don't be fooled by the ignorant depictions, images, name-calling and all the other mean spirited nonsense. It's of utmost importance to understand who is in a prison of fear and bondage. Freedom is a deep self awareness of yourself. Keep knowing no can give you freedom, it is yours by divine right. Remember the late great Nelson Mandela was kept in a prison for 27 years, but all that time he was free inside of himself. Finally, the outer reality matched with what he always understood, he was free. This is the Aquarian superpower, the ability to own and bring truth, freedom and revolution into reality. Aquarius is also the sign of standing with other people to initiate change by holding a collective vision that wants everyone to have their life valued, respected, honored and celebrated. Be a rebel in that "Genius Zone" area of your life, and you will be enough, and you will "Go Far". This Solar Eclipse offers the potential to start a whole new chapter in your life. We each have a unique story. You are the only person who knows what your story is all about. Let's have an Astrology Conversation. I look forward to seeing you. Now is the time.https://www.soulsoundinsights.com/light-reading.htmlhttps://www.soulsoundinsights.com/music-musings-meditation.htmlI am proud to announce my new offering as a Certified Creative Depth Coach.

How One Virginia Town is Reinventing Community Commerce During Its Bicentennial Mount Jackson, Virginia, is having a moment. During a recent Tourism Tuesday episode of The Valley Today, Town Manager Olivia Hilton sat down with host Janet Michael to share an ambitious slate of initiatives transforming this small Shenandoah County community. From quirky farmers markets to business incubators, Mount Jackson is proving that small towns can think big—and get a little weird while doing it. Honoring History First Before diving into future plans, Olivia highlights the town's commitment to preserving its past. On February 28th, Mount Jackson will host "Roots and Resilience," the finale event for Shenandoah County's Black History Month programming. The event features historian Rosemary Wallinger, who will discuss the CCC camp at Wolf Gap and her work revitalizing the Mount Jackson Colored Cemetery, which was recently added to Virginia's historic registry. Notably, the town plans to record Wallinger's presentation so descendants living in other states can participate virtually, demonstrating how Mount Jackson balances heritage preservation with modern accessibility. Junk and Jams: When Markets Get Funky Starting in April, Mount Jackson launches what might be the region's most creative take on the traditional farmers market. "Junk and Jams" reimagines the second Saturday market experience by pairing music genres with seasonal themes, creating what Olivia describes as a "funky" alternative to larger regional markets. The concept emerged from a brainstorming session—or perhaps a dream—by Assistant Town Manager, Greg Beam, who texted Olivia a flurry of ideas one morning. Rather than competing with established markets in Harrisonburg or Winchester, Mount Jackson decided to embrace its quirky side. Each month features a distinct theme: April kicks off with "Retro and Roots," a 1950s greaser aesthetic meets spring cleaning, complete with retro kitchen kitsch, greenhouse starts, and farm-fresh eggs. May transitions to "Floral and Fiddles," while August brings "Sunflowers and Southern Rock" during the town's yard crawl weekend. Beyond the alliterative themes, Junk and Jams incorporates interactive elements that set it apart. A Model T club will demonstrate disassembling and reassembling vintage cars. The local museum plans a "Price is Right" style game featuring historical products. Vendors will demonstrate kombucha brewing and tea making. Meanwhile, the town is developing a digital cookbook to tie into the bicentennial celebration, weaving history into every program. Importantly, vendors don't need to match the monthly theme—the music and decor create the vibe while crafters, farmers, and vintage sellers bring whatever handmade, homemade, or antique goods they offer. At just $10 per market or $60 for all six events, the barrier to entry remains intentionally low. As Olivia jokes, even if only she and Greg show up, "we're gonna have the time of our lives." The Nest: Incubating Main Street's Future Perhaps Mount Jackson's most ambitious project is The Nest, a retail incubator opening this spring in a renovated 1930s hardware store on Main Street. The concept addresses a common small business challenge: entrepreneurs who aren't quite ready for their own brick-and-mortar location due to full-time jobs, health insurance needs, family obligations, or simple uncertainty about whether their hobby can become a viable business. Thanks to two years of grant funding from the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development totaling $125,000 distributed among 11 businesses, Mount Jackson created this shared retail space. Four "nesters" from the Mount Jackson Five business program will anchor the location: Joyce Kelly with Two Turtle Doves, Ryan Peters with Home Revival & Decor, Mike with Poppy's Dust, and Alex and Abby with Sunbliss, a healthy prepackaged meal service. However, The Nest won't resemble typical booth-style antique malls. Instead, Olivia envisions one cohesive boutique experience where established businesses like Jon Henry's, Clementine Vintage, and Nana's Blue Greenhouse occupy corners alongside the newer entrepreneurs. The space will even incorporate display pieces from other downtown businesses like Mount Jackson Thrift & Gift and Search, with commission-based sales creating a truly collaborative downtown ecosystem. Currently, the town's public works team is renovating the space, leaving Olivia with what she calls "the most stressful choice of my life"—picking paint colors. Meanwhile, Alex from Sunbliss, who happens to be a talented artist, will create a 2.5-by-25-foot mural inside, possibly featuring a woodpecker doing woodwork. As Olivia puts it, "Whatever you wanna do, you're the artist." The nesters will contribute volunteer hours as part of their learning experience, while the town navigates various business models including consignment, wholesale, and commission arrangements. The goal remains clear: give entrepreneurs one to two years to test their concepts before they "fly the nest" into their own storefronts. Nights at the Nest: Midweek Main Street To launch The Nest and activate downtown during typically quiet evenings, Mount Jackson introduces "Nights at the Nest" beginning in May. Every second Tuesday from 4 to 8 PM, the retail space stays open late while a food truck parks in the grassy pocket park between Search Thrift and The Nest. The town plans to string bistro lights between buildings, book live music, and transform an underutilized green space into a gathering spot. As Olivia notes, "Nothing to do on a Tuesday? Come on out and shop a little bit, maybe do some live demonstrations." It's another example of Mount Jackson creating its own social scene while supporting local businesses. The Vintage in the Valley Question The conversation took a bittersweet turn when discussing Vintage in the Valley, Strasburg's beloved festival that was canceled for 2025. Olivia expressed frustration that a community with such dedicated volunteers—including Cath from Lydia's, Sue at Clementine, and the Emporium team—couldn't secure municipal support to continue the event. While she quickly dispelled rumors that Mount Jackson would simply absorb the festival (she clarified that the heart of Vintage lies with its volunteer committee, not just a location), she revealed that discussions are underway for a potential "Vintage Through the Valley" concept that would spread the event countywide. This approach would preserve the Emporium's central role while preventing the complete loss of a cherished regional tradition. Janet admitted she may have started the Mount Jackson rumor herself, though Olivia acknowledged the temptation was real. Instead, she's been reaching out to former Vintage in the Valley vendors, inviting them to try Junk and Jams as an alternative. A Town Creating Its Own Social Life Throughout the conversation, Olivia's enthusiasm and self-awareness shine through. She jokes about "creating my own social life in Mount Jackson," acknowledges when she loses naming debates (she advocated for "Citrus and Soul" in September but conceded to "Apples and Americana" for proper alliteration), and celebrates the "you're changing the world" text messages she receives from Rosemary Wallinger. This personal investment reflects a broader truth about small-town revitalization: it requires passionate individuals willing to take risks, embrace quirkiness, and build community one event at a time. Mount Jackson isn't trying to become Harrisonburg or Winchester. Instead, it's carving out its own identity as a place where vintage meets vegetables, where business incubators share space with established retailers, and where a Tuesday night can become a destination. Looking Ahead As Mount Jackson celebrates its bicentennial, the town demonstrates that honoring 200 years of history doesn't mean living in the past. By supporting entrepreneurs, creating unique market experiences, preserving important heritage sites, and fostering collaboration across the downtown business community, this small Shenandoah County town offers a blueprint for rural revitalization that other communities might study. Whether you're interested in retro kitchen kitsch, healthy meal prep, vintage treasures, or simply supporting a town that's willing to get funky with its farmers market, Mount Jackson invites you to be part of its story. Just follow Town of Mount Jackson on Facebook and Instagram, or check out The Nest's new social media managed by Black Valley Creative. And if you see Olivia recording a podcast from her parked car before class, know that she got there early just to share Mount Jackson's good news. That's the kind of dedication that's making this small town's big year possible.

Winter doesn't create burnout. It reveals it. In this episode of Medium Lady Talks, Erin explores why so many women quietly admit their exhaustion during the cold months — not because winter breaks them, but because winter strips away the distractions that helped them outrun what they've been carrying all along. Drawing on personal reflection, cultural observation, and insights from All We Want Is Everything by Soraya Chemaly, this episode unpacks: Why women are socialized to absorb emotional fallout and smooth discomfort How invisible emotional labor accumulates quietly across seasons Why reduced light, stimulation, and dopamine in winter make burnout undeniable The seductive pull of despair and doomscrolling Why “collapse” in January isn't the same as rest And how to redistribute your load instead of reinventing yourself This is not an episode about hustling your way out of exhaustion. It's about recognizing when winter is revealing a structural mismatch between what you carry and what you are resourced for — and responding gently but honestly. If you've felt bone tired. Soul tired. Existentially tired. This episode will help you see your burnout not as weakness — but as information. What You'll Hear in This Episode Why winter reduces capacity and exposes overload Emotional labor and the cultural conditioning of women How smoothing and anticipating needs compounds exhaustion The rise of “analog wellness” as nervous system relief The 1% rule for sustainable adjustment Practical ways to drop invisible tasks Why spring doesn't fix structural mismatch — redistribution does A Gentle Invitation Name what you're carrying. Drop one invisible task. Replace one scroll with one analog act. Aim for 1% more steadiness. Winter is not attacking you. It may just be asking you to notice. If this episode resonated, share it with someone who's been quietly holding too much. And as always — you are not weak for feeling this. You are overloaded. And overload can be adjusted.

Welcome to another episode of Restoring the Soul with Michael John Cusick. Today's conversation dives deep into the heart of spiritual growth, as AJ Denson returns to interview Michael about his award-winning book, Sacred Attachment, Escaping Spiritual Exhaustion and Trusting in Divine Love.The episode explores Chapter 3, focusing on attachment theory and its profound connection to both psychology and the divine. Michael lays a foundation by tracing attachment back beyond neuroscience and child development, all the way to the ultimate example: the Trinity. Together, Michael and AJ unpack how the Trinity models perfect attunement and connection, and what this means for our relationship with God, others, and ourselves.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!
Readings of passages from the text 'A Soul of Silence' by Μ. M. AM. du Couer de Jesus, O.D.CSaint Elizabeth of the Trinity (Élisabeth Catez, 1880–1906) was a French Carmelite nun and one of the most luminous contemplatives of the modern Christian mystical tradition. Entering the Carmelite monastery in Dijon at the age of twenty-one, her short life was inwardly intense and theologically profound, centered almost entirely on the mystery of the indwelling Trinity.Her core spiritual insight was radical in its simplicity: God dwells within the soul as living Presence, and the task of the spiritual life is to become consciously united with this indwelling God through silence, recollection, and loving surrender. Elizabeth spoke of becoming “a praise of glory,” meaning a life so surrendered that it reflects God's own life from within, without self-assertion or resistance.For Elizabeth, contemplation was not an escape from suffering but a way of inhabiting it from the inside. During her final illness, she understood pain as a place of communion, where the soul could consent ever more deeply to divine life. Her spirituality emphasized interior stillness, self-forgetfulness, and an unwavering trust in God's presence at the heart of ordinary experience.She left behind letters, retreats, and prayers of striking depth, written in clear, almost crystalline language. Canonized in 2016, Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity is remembered as a teacher of inner silence and divine intimacy, offering a vision of holiness grounded not in extraordinary experiences, but in abiding awareness of God already present within.________________________________Music: Solitude - ambient music - Clavier-MusicWith thanks to Clavier for sharing his gift of music for this channel.

Calendars quietly structure our lives and shape our priorities. In this episode, I explore an ancient, counter-cultural alternative to the secular rhythm of life: the historic Christian calendar. It calls us year after year to live deeply in the story of redemption. I'm excited to unpack this rich tradition with my friend, Fr Hayden Butler, a traditional Anglican priest. St. Matthew's Daily Offices podcast https://stmatthewsnewport.com/podcasts
I welcome my childhood friend Dr. Mike Meaney back on the show where we discuss how pain changes how a life moves. It sharpens every edge, tests every bond, and forces you to decide what you believe when there are no easy choices left. That's where our conversation begins: a candid account of failed orthopedic surgeries, a system that too often rewards the cut over the cure, and the daily reality of living inside a body that won't stop hurting. We examine how fee-for-service medicine, device royalties, and surgical center ownership can bend decisions, why second and third opinions matter, and what patients can do to avoid becoming a statistic in a volume-driven industry.From there, we turn toward the inner struggle—resentment, justice, and the long road to healing. We talk openly about opioids as a seductive solution to the human problem of physical pain, and the devastation they leave behind. We sit with the hardest question: when harm is done under anesthesia, what does forgiveness mean? Faith enters not as a slogan but as a practice. We return to the simple Catholic teachings we learned as kids—tell the truth, avoid violence, treat others as you wish to be treated, care for the marginal—and measure them against adult complexity. We explore the mystical claims of Christianity with clear eyes, and why daily sobriety can feel like proof enough for belief.Then we build forward. Our guest shares One Small Step, a platform delivering certified peer support on nights and weekends for people on Medicaid—exactly when the rest of the system is closed or the ER is the only option. We walk through how human-in-the-loop AI can safely triage, detect pre-crisis signals, and route people to real peers with lived experience, reducing avoidable ER visits and giving support that actually meets people where they are. It's a practical blueprint for reform: dignified care, data-informed decisions, and a focus on outcomes that matter.If this conversation resonates—about pain, faith, accountability, or access to real help—share it with someone who needs it. And if you appreciate these deep, unfiltered talks, tap follow, leave a quick review, and tell us: where do you draw the line between justice and mercy?To learn more about One Small Step head over to https://onesmallstep.io/Support the showWarmly,Nico Barraza@FeedTheSoulNBwww.nicobarraza.com

I would love to hear from you! Send me a one way text and share how Recover Your Soul is supporting you or what you would like to hear more about.What if loving deeply didn't mean losing yourself?In this episode, I reflect on self-love through the lens of the Recover Your Soul process and my own journey from codependency, control, and self-sacrifice into something far more grounded and whole.So many of us learned early on that love meant being good, being helpful, being quiet, being compliant, or being whatever someone else needed us to be. We became experts at caring for everyone else while slowly disconnecting from our own voice, our own body, and our own truth for survival.True self-love is the courageous act of opening your heart while staying rooted in who you are.In this conversation, I share about the ways codependency teaches us to abandon ourselves in relationships, why protecting your heart is natural, and how those protectors form. We explore the difference between transactional love and spiritual love, and what it really means to love yourself first without loosing yourself.We talk about the steel gates around our hearts and how awakening allows us to soften those defenses without collapsing back into old patterns.Self-love is not about becoming perfect.It is about becoming present.It is about remembering your wholeness.When we stop asking others to Join the community and Recover Your Soul with Rev Rachel.2026 is a big year offering GROUP COACHING, IN-PERSON RETREATS, and our FREE SUPPORT GROUP.

In this episode, Christa sits down with Alli Patterson, type 8 (8-1 pairing), teaching Pastor at Crossroads Church, author of Blueprint for Belonging and How to Stay Standing, and founder of the Ignite Conference to talk about the five types of relationships we all need to thrive: your core, circle, comrades, community, and crowd.

Pastor Andy brings us a message about washing your soul. Just as your spirit can be clean through salvation, your soul -- the thinking, emotional, decision-making part of you -- must be continually washed because your success and health will be capped at the level of your soul's condition. The influence of the world, especially through your cell phone and social media, has the power to pollute your soul and create strongholds that weaken you against yourself, but when you recognize the battle is within and commit to resilience, nothing can stop you from moving forward into what God has for you.

The Great Rosary Campaign is an ongoing prayer and penance campaign for the conversion and strengthening of both Catholic and non-Catholic leaders.As a "Trekkie" (lover of Star Trek), we will be devoting several Great Rosary Campaigns to praying for the conversion of all remaining Star Trek cast members to the Catholic Faith.THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign: Star Trek Edition, we are praying for the conversion of Gates McFadden, who played Dr. Beverly Crusher, chief medical officer of the various Enterprises in "Star Trek: The Next Generation." Please join us in praying that she may "live long and prosper" unto eternal life.The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is a Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament, the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist.In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have. The Rosary is foremost among them. Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com.Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular:Keeping the FaithMoral renovationConversions of non-CatholicsThe Great Rosary Campaign is also based on several biblical themes and principles.First, PRAY FOR OUR BRETHREN. “Pray for one another…” (Jas. 5:16). “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10).Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44).Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2).Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall. We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary. We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for.Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance.Sixth, RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL. “Do not return evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet. 3:9).Sign up to take part in the Great Rosary Campaign today: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com
You can put new curtains on the windows, light a candle, and set the table real nice — but if the milk ain't clean, everything you pour it into is spoiled. Washington State made history when it funded the Charles Mitchell and George Washington Bush Reparations Study — only the fourth statewide reparations study in the nation. Our communities organized. WENA — the Washington Equity Now Alliance — raised nearly half a million dollars in supplemental funding from Pierce County, King County, and beyond. Close to a million dollars in total support. That's not government writing a check. That's everyday people putting their faith, their money, and their ancestors' names on the line. So when the Department of Commerce ran the procurement process to select who would do this sacred work — the community expected excellence. Transparency. Integrity. What they got was something else. In this episode, sisters Melannie and Audrey connect with Dr. Marcus Anthony Hunter — one of the nation's leading reparations scholars and one of the unsuccessful bidders for the study. Dr. Hunter is the Scott Waugh Endowed Chair at UCLA, author of Radical Reparations: Healing the Soul of a Nation (HarperCollins/Amistad), the visionary who coined #BlackLivesMatter, inaugural Chair of UCLA's African American Studies Department, two-term President of the Association of Black Sociologists, and the scholar who drafted Congresswoman Barbara Lee's historic Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation Commission bill. His work has been featured on C-SPAN's BookTV, MSNBC, BBC, NPR, the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the LA Times. He submitted a proposal for Washington's study. And then the system showed its hand. His proposal was quarantined in the state's email system as “malware” for 22 days while other bidders were being evaluated. When he was finally told he wasn't selected, the state denied him the debriefing that Washington law guarantees every unsuccessful bidder. Denied him twice. He had to retain an attorney just to access a process the law says is his right. Meanwhile, the winning bidder — a DEI consulting firm — was awarded the contract to do work that requires expertise in reparations research, historical accounting, intergenerational economic harm, genealogy, and public policy analysis. The community asked questions. Filed public records requests. And invited the winning firm on this very show. Their general counsel said they'd love to come. That was six weeks ago. Silence ever since. The milk ain't clean. This episode is not about who won or lost a contract. Dr. Hunter is not here as a sore loser — he's here as a witness. This is first-source, insider testimony about how the state administered a process that the community invested in, that the legislature authorized, and that our ancestors are owed. In this conversation you'll hear: Why one of the most qualified reparations scholars in the country answered Washington's call What happened to his proposal inside the Department of Commerce's system — documented, timestamped, on the record The legal fight for a debriefing the state tried to deny him — twice Why DEI consulting is not reparations research — and why that distinction matters for every person this study is supposed to serve What this process tells us about whether the state is truly ready for the work of repair What we demand from our government — and what we owe our ancestors Reparations are policy, process, and praxis. If the process ain't right, the outcome can't be trusted. And trust, once broken, has to be earned back in public. This one is for the record. For the archive. For Charles Mitchell and George Washington Bush. For Mother Viola Fletcher. For every descendant who is counting on this study to tell the truth. To Truclusion – the successful bidder: the invitation is still open. Come tell your story. Show yourself. This IS community. And community is waiting…please. What Say U?
