  As the year comes to a close and Christmas draws near, this episode is an invitation to slow down and rethink what actually makes a year meaningful. If you're ending the year feeling like you didn't do enough, didn't accomplish enough, or didn't have any big, flashy "banner moments," this conversation is for you. What if the ordinary years—the quiet, unseen, seemingly mundane ones—are actually where God does His deepest and most transformative work? In this episode, Blake reflects on a lifetime of big dreams, ambition, and achievement, and how this year gently (and sometimes painfully) reshaped her understanding of purpose. From dreams of being a lawyer and living a "big" life, to seasons of stay-at-home motherhood, to years in podcasting and political commentary, God has repeatedly drawn her close enough to the spotlight to ask the question: Do you still want this? This year, the answer surprised her. God invited her into a slower, simpler, more ordinary rhythm—one that prioritized home, children, marriage, nervous-system healing, and time in Scripture. What felt at first like a downgrade or a pulling back revealed itself as protection, formation, and deep peace. Scripture itself is filled with ordinary faithfulness: farming, shepherding, raising children, waiting, wandering, and quiet obedience. The big miracles were never the whole story. Blake shares how stepping away from constant digital noise, limiting headlines, embracing small rituals, practicing audacious gratitude, and finding beauty in everyday moments has reshaped her identity. Faithfulness, not flashiness, is what God values. Bigger burdens don't always mean bigger blessings—and sometimes the most impactful work is the work no one sees. If your life feels small, overlooked, or slower than you hoped, be encouraged: nothing surrendered to God is wasted. The ordinary is holy ground, and God meets us there.

In their annual year end wrap-up show Greg, Sother and Damon sit down to talk about what the heck just happened. They unpack some of the leading trends of 2025, including Hi-Fi Lounges, High-Dives, Premiumization and the migration to the extremes of either luxury or ultra-discount experiences. Are we too used to curated experiences to accept risk in our bars and restaurants? Can a true high-end dive really exist? And why does Sother have such a fascination with the US Postal Service anyway?

As we hit the halfway point of December, this episode is a deep breath and a reset. In a season that pushes hustle, consumption, and constant motion, this conversation invites us to slow down and reclaim awe, wonder, and expectancy—especially as we approach Christmas. Hannah Brencher joins the Speak Easy Podcast to talk about Advent, rhythms, mental health, and what it looks like to resist hurry in a world that rewards burnout. Together, we explore why slowing down can feel so uncomfortable, how noise steals our awareness of God's presence, and how intentional practices—stillness, margin, and presence—help us actually experience the season instead of racing through it. This episode is for anyone feeling overwhelmed, behind, or spiritually distracted. Whether you're new to Advent or returning to it again, this conversation reframes December as a cool-down, not a ramp-up—and reminds us that peace has a pace. "Expectancy grows when we make space to notice God." Sponsors

Send us a textThis week on the Today is the Day Podcast, I'm joined by actor, speaker, and public speaking coach Brian LaFontaine, whose journey is a powerful reminder that one conversation can change everything.Brian grew up in Rhode Island and later attended college in North Carolina on a golf scholarship, fully expecting his future to be on the course. After his first year, he was told he would no longer be able to remain in the program. What could have ended a dream became the beginning of a new one. One conversation led to stand-up comedy, then acting—and ultimately a decades-long career on stage and screen. Brian remained in North Carolina, where that unexpected pivot reshaped his life and career.Brian has appeared in Stranger Things, Ozark, Nashville, The Vampire Diaries, and Outer Banks, among many others. Today, he brings that experience into his work helping people communicate with clarity, presence, and impact—whether they're pitching an idea, leading a team, stepping onto a stage, or finding their voice in a moment that matters. Through his Speak Easy experience and coaching practice, Brian helps people learn how to truly be seen, heard, and remembered through storytelling.I'm your host, Jodi Hope Grinwald—a career and leadership coach and consultant who works with professionals, leaders, entrepreneurs, organizations, and teams across the country. Through my coaching and consulting work, I help individuals gain career path clarity, help leaders become more effective and aligned, and help teams develop from the inside out—strengthening communication, trust, and collaboration in ways that lead to stronger, more dedicated clients and customers.I'm also the founder of the Today is the Day ecosystem, which includes this podcast, a global forum, and my upcoming book, Today is the Day. Live It!—a global mosaic of voices sharing what becomes possible when we step to the edge of comfort and into meaningful impact.This podcast exists to amplify stories, ideas, and people doing changemaking work. If you are building something meaningful—whether in business, leadership, community, or service and believe in the power of connection, I want to share your work through this platform.

In der neuen Speakeasy-Bar diskutieren wir zunächst über das Abstimmungsverhalten der Linken beim Rentenpaket. Interessanterweise hat die Partei nicht gegen das schwarz-rote Gesetz gestimmt, sondern sich enthalten, da man Verantwortung für Millionen Rentner übernehmen möchte, denen es ohne eine Einigung bald schlechter ergehen könnte. Aber ist das tatsächlich der einzige Grund? War es die richtige Strategie, diese Entscheidung schon drei Tage vor der Bundestagssitzung bekannt zu geben, sodass Merz doch noch eine Kanzlermehrheit organisieren konnte? Danach geht es um die Frage, wann Warnungen vor einem Rechtsruck übertrieben sind bzw. die Wirklichkeit verschleiern. Wir diskutieren ausführlich darüber, ob man die Binnenwirtschaft ankurbeln könnte und höhere Löhne die Exportnation wirklich bedrohen. Wir sprechen weiter über das Verhältnis von Liberalismus, Kapitalismus und Faschismus und beantworten eine Frage zur imperialen Lebensweise. Mehr dazu von Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt in der neuen „Wohlstand für Alle“-Speakeasy-Bar!Alle Fragen:00:20:30: Sind die Warnungen vor dem Rechtsruck übertrieben?00:30:52: Braucht es mehr Nudging in der Öffentlichkeit?00:35:00: Wie verändert die Gamification die Kriegsführung?00:43:23: Wie lassen sich die Begriffe Kapitalismus, Liberalismus und Neoliberalismus inhaltlich von einander abgrenzen?00:54:47: Wieso sprechen wir oft über den Ungleichheitsforscher Branko Milanović, aber selten über Thomas Piketty?01:03:23: Was sagen wir zu Markus Wissen und Ulrich Brand und ihrer Theorie der "imperialen Lebensweise"?01:16:05: Wie findet man seinen eigenen Zugang zur Literatur?01:22:42: Wieso will der Staat immer weiter an Sozialstandards und Löhnen kürzen?

Ending Well: A Pruning Deep Dive  This is week six of the Ending Well series, and we're talking about something a lot of us are living through in real time: pruning—the cutting away, the stripping back, and the strange mercy of God doing holy surgery on our lives at the end of a hard year. "Every branch that does bear fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit." – John 15:2 ⏱ Episode Timestamps 00:00 – Intro + Why open enrollment and health insurance feel like a bad rite of passage 03:00 – CrowdHealth: what it is, how it works, and why it's different from insurance 06:00 – Week six of Ending Well: why pruning is the theme of this year 09:30 – Defining "pruning," "fruit," "wilderness," and "discipline" (without the Christianese) 15:30 – John 15 and how Blake accidentally prayed for pruning this year 20:00 – Wilderness seasons: dry, slow, hidden growth, and deep dependence on God 25:30 – Seven "flavors" of pruning Blake walked through this year 30:00 – Loss and closed doors: when God rips things out of your hands 36:00 – Being forced to slow down or stop: "You can't heal on the battlefield that broke you" 41:00 – Loneliness, isolation, and when God clears the table so you can hear His voice 46:00 – Idols exposed: productivity, performance, and the golden statue God started tearing down 52:00 – When God prunes even good things (like the gym, routines, and rhythms you love) 57:00 – "Show me the purpose, Lord": praying for clarity in the middle of the mess 1:02:00 – How pruning makes you more like Jesus and prepares you for the "next level" 1:08:00 – Toy bins, clutter, and why fewer branches can mean more joy 1:12:00 – How to walk through pruning differently next time: slow down, surrender, obey faster 1:17:00 – Being honest with God instead of stuffing frustration and disappointment 1:21:00 – Why opening your Bible became survival, not a checkbox 1:25:00 – Friendship breakups as pruning: betrayal, loneliness, and healing with a limp 1:30:00 – Counting the fruit at the end of a brutal year What This Episode Is Really About In this deep dive, Blake unpacks pruning not as a punishment but as proof that God cares too much to leave you overgrown and exhausted. You'll hear about: How this year's pruning looked like: job pivots relational shifts homeschooling struggles closed doors and changed direction Why pruning is always connected to fruit, but not the kind the world celebrates Not achievement, numbers, or hustle But love, joy, peace, wisdom, humility (Galatians 5:22–23) The difference between: Punishment vs. discipline Chaos vs. God's clarifying love (Hebrews 12:6) Seven "flavors" of pruning Blake walked through: Loss of things she thought she needed Doors slamming shut at the last second Conviction and refinement in hidden places Being forced to slow down or stop entirely Loneliness and isolation when life got too loud Idols exposed—especially productivity and performance The trimming of even good things to make room for better Blake also shares how her prayer shifted from: "God, why are You doing this?" to "Show me the purpose, Lord." And how that shift opened the door to real trust, deeper Bible hunger, and new fruit she couldn't see while God was still hacking away at the branches.

David Wondrich is one of the few people in the world of spirits and cocktails that truly needs no introduction.

There comes a point in every woman's journey when she feels that pull to use her voice in a more meaningful, more expansive way. It's the moment when sharing information becomes sharing transformation — when your story becomes the very thing that opens doors for others. In this episode, I'm exploring what it truly means to step into that calling, honor the message in your heart, and navigate the resistance that often rises as you move toward bigger stages. It's a powerful reminder of what happens when you say yes to your own voice. Today, I'm joined by the incredible Jessica Hammock, a speaker and mental health leader who recently stepped into her biggest speaking opportunity yet. Jessica and I worked together inside my Speak Easy program to shape her keynote, and in this conversation, she shares the behind-the-scenes journey — the challenges, the spiritual nudges, and the breakthroughs — that brought her to that stage. I can't wait for you to hear her transformation. Join me today as Jessica and I discuss: Why shifting from teaching to storytelling can dramatically deepen your impact How Jessica recognized the message she was truly meant to share — and the “divine download” that guided her The resistance and unexpected challenges she faced leading up to her keynote, and the grounding practices that carried her through The powerful meaning behind her message of Hope Steelers, Hope Dealers, and Hope Healers The surprising opportunities that opened up after her talk, including paid speaking invitations and new visibility How showing up early and staying late at events can exponentially increase connections and bookings Jessica's expanded vision for speaking on larger, faith-based, and transformational stages Jessica's story is such a beautiful reminder of what can unfold when you trust your voice and share your story with intention. If this conversation stirs something in you — a desire to speak more, to lead with your story, or to get on bigger stages — I want you to know that it's possible for you too. Your voice matters, and your message matters. When you're ready, come explore what's available inside my Speak Easy program or any of the storytelling resources at LIGHTbeamers.com.

Welcome back to The Speakeasy Podcast! In this episode, I'm joined by one of my closest friends—and one of my favorite people to learn from—Amy Bernhardt. I call her my "continuing education friend" because she's always learning, growing, and sharing wisdom that hits deep. Amy recently shared something online that stopped me in my tracks: "What if your weight loss journey isn't about losing weight at all, but about God teaching you about yourself and preparing you for what's next?" That idea launched one of the most honest and powerful conversations we've had—about what happens when we stop chasing perfection and start letting God use our health journey to heal our hearts, renew our minds, and strengthen our spirits. Amy shares her story of going from extreme fitness culture and burnout to walking in balance, fasting, and freedom. She opens up about breaking cycles of self-sabotage, learning discipline through small daily choices, and discovering that getting healthy can be one of the holiest things you ever do. We also talk about: The false identities that keep us stuck in shame and failure How fasting revealed spiritual strongholds, not just physical habits The connection between physical healing, emotional renewal, and obedience What it means to start before you "feel ready" and trust God with the process This conversation is both real and redemptive, reminding us that God cares about every part of us—body, mind, and spirit—and He's in the details of your healing journey.
