As artists, it's easy to let recognition, rejection, awards, and sales tell us whether our work is “good.” In this episode, I share a very recent experience with a juried art show—one that stirred up all those very human questions about being seen, being recognized, and wondering whether anyone really understands what we're doing.But Spirit had another lesson waiting for me.Our work isn't validated because it wins an award, and it isn't validated because someone buys it. We create because something happens when we're truly aligned with ourselves—when we feel the rightness of what is moving through us.Maybe creating isn't really about other people seeing you.Maybe it's about you seeing you. You feeling you. That's why you create.Want to learn more about CJ Miller? Check out his Spiritual Artist Retreats, 1:1 Personal Coaching, and Speaking Engagements at www.spiritualartisttoday.com.

Excellence without intentional follow-up has a very short shelf life. You can deliver a great presentation, have people tell you how much they enjoyed it, and still leave entirely too much value on the table if you don't have a strategy for what happens next. There's a window after you speak when people still remember your message, your stories, and how you made them feel. What happened during the engagement can also give you clues about what comes next. A question that keeps coming up, a conversation with someone in the audience, or feedback from the organizer may point toward another opportunity. The point is to pay attention, follow up thoughtfully, and not treat the engagement as something that ended the moment you left the stage.In Part Four of So You Want to Be a Speaker? on Branding Room Only, Paula T. Edgar walks through what to do after a speaking engagement to keep the momentum going. She shares how to follow up with the people involved, build proof of your work, and use the experience to support future opportunities while continuing to build genuine relationships. She also gives you a practical timeline for the days and weeks that follow, so you know what to do next while the experience is still fresh.1:35 – Why the first 48 hours after you speak matter just as much as the talk itself3:12 – What to say in your LinkedIn post reflecting on the event4:39 – The right and wrong way to send a personalized LinkedIn connection request6:03 – How to follow up with the event organizer and ask for a testimonial and an introduction to a new audience9:13 – How you can turn every speaking opportunity into a content goldmine10:58 – The video and photo strategy that builds evidence of your work for potential clients13:12 – How to build a simple system for collecting and organizing testimonials14:18 – Why you should think of the people in your audience as future connectors in addition to potential clients15:47 – Practical timeline to use after your next speaking engagement, from 48 hours to 30 days18:32 – A short tease for the next episode of this seriesMentioned In So You Want to Be a Speaker?

While working on his painting this morning, CJ was inspired by a message and decided to share it with his listeners. CJ shares his experience with his tremor and how it has formed a relationship between him and his art. It is only by accepting all of yourself—including those things you may consider shortcomings—that you can expand your creative expression. We bring our complete selves to the creative process.If you've been avoiding creativity because of some perceived limitation, consider how you might continue creating despite it—or perhaps even because of it. CJ has learned to develop a style of painting that includes his tremor, and it has become part of what makes his work uniquely his own.What is includes the tremor, your body, your circumstances, the paint, the unexpected mark—and even what comes back from the creative field. You're not overcoming reality in order to create. CJ also explores how we are in relationship with the creative field of intelligence. That's right—we are constantly receiving guidance, messages, and feedback from the creative field. How we choose to respond is key. Do we move with the flow, or do we resist it? Either way creates an outcome, but one way empowers us.Choose relationship. And watch your creativity grow.Want to learn more about CJ Miller?

Have you ever looked at an opportunity and thought:Maybe someday.Maybe when you have more money. Maybe when your schedule settles down. Maybe when you know someone there. Maybe when you're more qualified. Maybe when you're finally ready.CarrieVee wants you to stop waiting.In this episode of Coffee & Tea with CarrieVee, Carrie shares the story of walking into her very first International Maxwell Conference completely alone. She didn't know anyone. She wasn't sure exactly what to expect. She didn't have guarantees that the experience would be worth the time, money, or effort.But she knew one thing:She needed to be in that room.And being in that room changed the trajectory of her life. This episode is about the power of your environment, the people you surround yourself with, and the rooms you choose to enter.Because sometimes the thing standing between you and your next level isn't a lack of ability.It's that you're standing in the wrong room.In This Episode, CarrieVee Talks About:Your environment is your destiny.The people around you influence your thinking, your expectations, your goals, and ultimately your behavior. Carrie challenges listeners to examine the five people they spend the most time with—and asks whether those people are helping them move forward or keeping them comfortable. Stop waiting for the perfect time.The perfect time doesn't exist. There will always be a reason to wait: money, timing, family, work, uncertainty, fear.Carrie shares how her parents taught her an important lesson growing up: if something mattered enough, they found a way to make it happen. That mindset has stayed with her. Get in the room—even when you're uncomfortable.Your room might be a conference, mastermind, workshop, networking group, community, retreat, or gathering of people pursuing the same things you are.And you don't have to know anyone before you go.You just have to show up.Carrie explains that she continues attending the International Maxwell Conference even when she's heard some of the content before because the value isn't only in what she learns. It's in who she's surrounded by. Stop complaining and start growing.Complaining is comfortable. Growth isn't.Carrie challenges listeners to pay attention to their language. Are you spending more time talking about what's wrong—or talking about what's possible? Are you looking for solutions or collecting evidence for why something can't work?Book a Discovery Call with CarrieVee:https://schedulewithcarrievee.as.me/?appointmentType=12343596 Book CarrieVee for a Speaking Engagement: https://www.coachcarriev.com/contact-me Connect with CarrieVee:www.carrievee.comcarriev@coachcarriev.comIG: @iamcarrievee TT: @carrievee2022FB: Carrie VerrocchioLI: Carrie Verrocchio   Episode's Publish Date:2026-08-11T04:00:00-04:00

Waiting to be "picked" from a speaker portal is not a strategy - it's a lottery ticket. In this episode, Karen breaks down exactly how she used one short LinkedIn message to land a spot on a conference panel - no application, no pitch deck, no waiting in a queue. She shares the real conversation, word for word, and shows you how to find the actual human behind any stage you want to borrow. In this episode, you'll learn: Why the speaker portal is "the void" - and what to do instead How to find the real decision-maker behind any conference, podcast, or corporate event The exact two-sentence LinkedIn message that opened the door What to say (and what NOT to send) after the first reply How to build a simple pipeline of stages you want to borrow If you've been filling out speaker applications and hearing nothing back, this episode will change how you approach it entirely.

CJ explores the difference between deterministic computing, where instructions lead to defined outcomes, and probabilistic AI, which uses learned patterns to predict what is most likely to come next. And suddenly, AI begins to look surprisingly human.How often do we do the same thing?We bring our histories, assumptions, habits, and emotional patterns into a conversation and begin predicting what someone means before they have finished speaking. We formulate our response while the other person's mouth is still moving. Instead of responding to what is actually happening, we respond to what we expect to happen.True listening asks something different of us.For the Spiritual Artist, the practice is to align, listen, and then respond. To become present enough to notice when prediction has replaced perception.Perhaps one of the unexpected things AI can teach us isn't found in its extraordinary capabilities, but in its limitations. By seeing the machinery of prediction so clearly in AI, we may begin to recognize the same machinery operating within ourselves.And yes, Soma eventually calmed down.Want to learn more about CJ Miller?

What if the thing holding you back isn't your schedule, your age, or even your circumstances?What if it's a barrier you can't even see?This week on Coffee & Tea with CarrieVee, Carrie welcomes back bestselling author, fitness expert, and midlife coach Heike Yates for another powerful conversation inspired by her book, Pursue Your Spark. Together, they unpack one of the biggest reasons women feel stuck in midlife—not because they lack discipline or motivation, but because invisible barriers quietly shape their decisions without them realizing it.From limiting beliefs and outdated identities to stress, overwhelm, and unhealed emotional wounds, Carrie and Heike explore how the stories we carry can keep us from moving forward—even when we're doing "all the right things."If you've ever felt like you're working hard but not making progress, this episode will help you identify what may really be standing in your way. In This Episode Why mindset is often more important than fitness or nutrition  The invisible barriers that quietly sabotage progress  How old identities can prevent new opportunities  Why doing more isn't always the answer  The connection between stress, cortisol, and physical health  How emotional healing impacts your ability to move forward  Why paying attention is the first step toward lasting change  Learning to replace self-judgment with curiosity  The importance of taking one small step instead of trying to change everything at once  How clarity creates freedom and momentumHelping Midlife Women Move Forward AgainMany midlife women aren't starting from scratch — they're navigating seasons where what once worked no longer fits.I help women move out of the start-over cycle and rebuild strength, energy, and confidence with realistic fitness, nutrition, and mindset strategies that support real life.I know what it feels like to juggle work, motherhood, and identity while wondering if you'll ever feel like yourself again. At one point, I was a single mom raising two kids on $300 a month, working long hours and trying to hold everything together.Fitness became my lifeline — the one thing that helped me feel strong, resilient, and hopeful when life felt heavy.Over the past 35+ years, that lifeline became my mission. I've helped thousands of midlife women move out of the start-over cycle and find an approach that finally works for their body and their life.Here's what I believe:Midlife isn't a decline — it's your turning point.You don't need extremes — just small steps that fit your life.And with the right support, you can feel capable, clear, and strong at any age.If you're ready to stop starting over and finally find an approach that works for your body and your life, you're in the right place.Get Heike's book: https://amzn.to/4tBvoGphttps://heikeyates.com/other episodes with Heike Yates:Midlife Moments With Heike Yates:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coffee-and-tea-with-carrievee/id1514671446?i=1000768689467Pursue Your Spark with Heike Yates:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coffee-and-tea-with-carrievee/id1514671446?i=1000760004906Book a Discovery Call with CarrieVee:https://schedulewithcarrievee.as.me/?appointmentType=12343596Book CarrieVee for a Speaking Engagement:  https://www.coachcarriev.com/contact-meConnect with CarrieVee:www.carrievee.comcarriev@coachcarriev.comIG:  @iamcarrievee TT:  @carrievee2022FB:  Carrie VerrocchioLI:  Carrie Verrocchio

In this episode, CJ Miller explores how the overwhelming flood of information in today's world is calling us into a new stage of human development: The Age of Listening.Drawing from Paul Baker's Integration of Abilities, CJ traces the evolution of human communication—from the Storytelling Age, to the Gutenberg Age of books and external authority, to today's Information Age, where knowledge is abundant but discernment has become essential.Rather than simply collecting more information, CJ suggests that our greatest challenge is learning to listen intentionally. True listening is not merely intellectual. It includes the wisdom of the body, the heart, intuition, feeling, and conscious awareness.Using his creative philosophy of Align. Listen. Create., CJ explains that creativity—and life itself—begins by first aligning with the greater field of Creative Intelligence. Instead of constantly telling life what we want, he invites us to become quiet enough to hear what life may be asking of us.The conversation explores:Why information alone no longer leads to wisdom.How intentional attention can transform the way we experience the world.The difference between listening and defending our beliefs.Why intuition, feeling, and embodied awareness deserve a place alongside reason.How creativity becomes a practice of participating with life rather than controlling it.Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to move beyond reacting to the endless noise around us and into a more grounded, compassionate way of living—one where we align, listen deeply, and create from the intelligence already flowing through us."The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear." — RumiWant to learn more about CJ Miller?

In this fascinating conversation, I sit down with painter, teacher, and author Jordan Wolfson to explore painting as a practice of awareness. Jordan describes how, over the years, his sense of self has become more porous and less fixed, allowing him to respond more openly to both life and the creative process.We discuss why some paintings feel profoundly alive while others, though technically accomplished, do not. Jordan shares insights drawn from artists like Cézanne, Monet, and especially Berthe Morisot, whose expressive mark-making helped shape modern painting in ways that history has often overlooked.Along the way, we explore nondual awareness, presence, emotional energy, and why truly meaningful art often emerges when we stop trying to force it. I also share how my own doodling practice, along with a simple moment making toast alone in Santa Fe, taught me that everyday acts can become gateways to presence.Although Jordan and I often use different language, we discovered we were pointing toward much the same experience: creativity not as something we manufacture, but as something we participate in.If you've ever sensed that painting is about more than paint, this conversation is for you.To purchase Jordan's book:https://www.lulu.com/shop/jordan-wolfson/power-and-presence/paperback/product-q6wm9wr.html?q=&page=1&pageSize=4For more information, visit his website https://jordanwolfson.com/Jordan Wolfson received his MFA from the Yale School of Art in 1991. An internationally exhibited painter, his work explores the relationship between perception, mark-making, and consciousness, viewing painting as both a creative practice and a path to deeper understanding. His work is included in collections around the world, and he has received numerous honors, including grants from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation and the Ingram Merrill Foundation."Painting isn't about making a picture; painting is about exploring life."Want to learn more about CJ Miller?

What if one of the strongest things you could ever do… was admit that you're hurting?In this deeply personal episode of Coffee & Tea with CarrieVee, Carrie shares a story she has never publicly told before—a moment that has stayed with her for more than twenty years. After donating a kidney to save her father's life, she found herself doubled over in pain in a hospital hallway, apologizing for being "weak." What happened next changed her perspective decades later.This episode isn't built around a five-step framework or leadership strategy. Instead, it's an honest conversation about strength, vulnerability, and why so many of us believe we have to suffer silently.If you've ever minimized your pain, apologized for needing help, or believed that showing emotion made you weak, this conversation is for you.Strength doesn't mean you never cry.Real strength isn't pretending you're okay.Real strength is making the courageous decision, showing up anyway, and allowing yourself to be honest about the cost.Journal PromptWhere have you been doubled over in your own hallway, apologizing for needing help?Connect with CarrieVeeBook a Discovery Call with CarrieVee:https://schedulewithcarrievee.as.me/?appointmentType=12343596Book CarrieVee for a Speaking Engagement:  https://www.coachcarriev.com/contact-meConnect with CarrieVee:www.carrievee.comcarriev@coachcarriev.comIG:  @iamcarrievee TT:  @carrievee2022FB:  Carrie VerrocchioLI:  Carrie Verrocchio

Have you ever wondered whether that quiet inner voice is genuine guidance... or simply your own hopes and fears talking?In this fascinating conversation, CJ sits down with spiritual teacher and author Gary Temple Bodley and spiritual medium Christy Levy to explore one of life's biggest questions: How do we recognize authentic guidance?Gary shares the remarkable story of how meditation led him into direct communication with a collective consciousness known as Joshua, eventually inspiring him to write four channeled books and launch the Joshua Live podcast. Christy describes her own journey into mediumship, automatic writing, and connecting with spirit guides and historical figures to help others discover greater clarity and purpose.Together they explore a radically different way of viewing reality: that your perspective creates your experience, and that shifting your perspective naturally changes your emotional state, your vibration, and ultimately your life. Along the way, they discuss limiting beliefs, why emotions can serve as guides rather than obstacles, and how curiosity can transform even life's most difficult experiences.The conversation takes a deeply personal turn when CJ asks about living with chronic pain. Rather than asking, "Why is this happening to me?" Gary offers a different perspective, suggesting that pain can become a messenger rather than an enemy when we approach it with openness instead of resistance.Near the end of the interview, Christy offers CJ a spontaneous reading that brings forward the symbolic presence of Beethoven and John Coltrane. Their message moves beyond music into the creative process itself, exploring the relationship between listening, surrender, and following what is quietly calling us forward. In one particularly moving moment, CJ is invited to exchange the question, "Why is this happening?" for a far more empowering one:"Who am I becoming through this experience?"Whether you're curious about channeling, fascinated by consciousness, searching for deeper meaning in difficult experiences, or simply trying to trust your own inner wisdom, this conversation offers thoughtful insights into creativity, healing, perspective, and the possibility that guidance is always available to those willing to listen.Sometimes the answers we're searching for aren't found by thinking harder.Sometimes they arrive when we become quiet enough to hear them.Want to learn more about CJ Miller?

What if you stopped believing you are the storm and remembered that you are the sky?In this thoughtful conversation, CJ sits down with Pastor Greg "PG" Stamper to explore the spiritual journey beyond certainty, fear, and rigid beliefs. Raised in the Pentecostal tradition before finding a home in New Thought, PG shares how leaving familiar ground became an invitation into a larger understanding of consciousness, compassion, and transformation.Together they explore meditation, neurodivergence, the surprising connection between science and spirituality, and why daily practices help us navigate life's changing weather rather than avoid it. Along the way, PG offers one of the most memorable metaphors you'll hear: You are the sky, not the weather.The conversation also touches on Joseph Campbell, Rumi, creativity, music as spiritual download, and the practice of living with curiosity instead of certainty. If you've ever wondered how to remain centered while life changes around you, this episode offers a gentle reminder that above every storm, the sun is still shining.If you'd like to learn more about Pastor Greg "PG" Stamper, you can connect with him through Celebration Spiritual Center, where he co-pastors a global online New Thought community with inspiring Sunday services and weekly programs.

#narcissist #narcissism #toxicrelationships In this video, we uncover the two moments when a narcissist slips up disastrously and exposes their darkest revelations. Narcissists work hard to maintain a carefully crafted image, but under pressure, their mask can crack, revealing manipulation, lack of empathy, and hidden intentions. By understanding these critical situations, you will be able to recognize the warning signs early and see through the illusion before deeper emotional damage occurs.By refusing to play the role a narcissist expects, you disrupt the entire dynamic they rely on to maintain control and conceal their darker nature. Narcissists thrive on predictable reactions such as emotional engagement, defensiveness, or validation, because these responses feed their sense of power and keep their image intact. When you remain calm, detached, and grounded instead of reacting the way they anticipate, it creates a gap between their expectations and reality. In that gap, their frustration builds, and this often leads to emotional outbursts, contradictions, or manipulative tactics becoming more obvious to others.https://youtu.be/zrghe6LAGAk• Website & Coaching Enquiries: https:// www.weaponizedlove.com/Coaching & Speaking Engagements:narcscon@gmail.com* Read the Book: Weaponised Love -https://Im.fm/*Listen to my audiobook:Weaponized Love: Understanding How Narcissists Think Is Key to Protect, Heal and Thriveyou can listen to the full audiobook here:https://www.audible.com/pd/Weaponized-Love-Audiobook/B0GFG8TQTQ• Support the Channel: Donate via PayPal - https:// www.paypal.com/paypalme/narcscon?country.x=.Disclaimer: This content is for educational and informational purposes only.

#breakup #narcissisticabuse #narcissist Healing from narcissistic abuse takes longer than most people expect—and this is why. This isn't just a normal breakup. Narcissistic relationships involve emotional conditioning, psychological manipulation, and intense highs and lows that create a trauma bond. That's why you can't “just move on.” Recovery isn't about missing someone—it's about rebuilding your confidence, trusting yourself again, and finding your identity after emotional abuse.If you feel misunderstood for not being “over it,” or you're trying to support someone who went through this, this video explains why healing takes time.https://youtu.be/ukV4A2jKUDc• Website & Coaching Enquiries: https:// www.weaponizedlove.com/Coaching & Speaking Engagements:narcscon@gmail.com* Read the Book: Weaponised Love -https://Im.fm/*Listen to my audiobook:Weaponized Love: Understanding How Narcissists Think Is Key to Protect, Heal and Thriveyou can listen to the full audiobook here:https://www.audible.com/pd/Weaponized-Love-Audiobook/B0GFG8TQTQ• Support the Channel: Donate via PayPal - https:// www.paypal.com/paypalme/narcscon?country.x=.Disclaimer: This content is for educational and informational purposes only.

#narcissist #narcissism #narcissisticabuse This video explains how narcissists truly see their partners and why their behavior in relationships becomes so predictable over time. You will learn how narcissistic thinking shapes the way they idealize, devalue, and control the people closest to them, and why these patterns repeat in almost every narcissistic relationship. Understanding how a narcissist views you can help you make sense of confusing emotional highs and lows, sudden changes in affection, and the feeling that you are being treated as a role rather than as a person. We explore the psychological mechanisms behind narcissistic personality traits, including their need for validation, lack of empathy, and fear of losing control. By breaking down the typical cycle of idealization, devaluation, and discard, this video shows why narcissists often behave in ways that seem different on the surface but follow the same script underneath. If you have ever wondered why arguments feel repetitive, why promises are rarely kept, or why the same conflicts keep happening, this explanation will help connect those patterns.https://youtu.be/7FhPvJX5h_Q• Website & Coaching Enquiries: https:// www.weaponizedlove.com/Coaching & Speaking Engagements:narcscon@gmail.com* Read the Book: Weaponised Love -https://Im.fm/ r3aEwvK• Shop Designs & Technology: https:// www.tracyspence.co.uk• Support the Channel: Donate via PayPal - https:// www.paypal.com/paypalme/narcscon?country.x=.Disclaimer: This content is for educational and informational purposes only.

In this YouTube interview, Vance from the Female Covert Narc channel joins Narccon to discuss the traits and behaviors of the female covert narcissist, often referred to as the “Black Widow.” The conversation explores how female covert narcissists use subtle manipulation, emotional control, victim playing, and psychological tactics to dominate relationships while maintaining a hidden public image.Vance's Channel - @FemaleCovertNarc (Fantastic series of interviews with a diverse range of experts providing education and advice on NPD focusing in particular on the female narcissist).Channel link: https://youtube.com/@FemaleCovertNarc?si=VXAjaoYsMxNpjGx1#LetThemGo is a video series aimed at helping men identify, exit, and recover from relationships with women diagnosed with or suspected of having female covert narcissism.https://youtu.be/_lAqUANFigIMen, does your female partner gaslight, blame shift, constantly move the boundaries in your relationship, roll her eyes at you, lie, interrupt you, talk over you, explode in response to the slightest hint of anything critical or even the simplest mistake, and always play the victim while portraying you as the perpetual villain, regardless if she is at fault? If so, you may be in a relationship with a female covert narcissist. The only thing more difficult than being with a narcissist is trying to coparent with one. Just when you think it's all over after the divorce or ending of the relationship, there is no need for a narcissistic mother to wear the mask, and her behavior can become absolutely awful, often involving manipulation of the children and weaponizing them against you.#femalecovertnarcissist #narcissist #letthemgo• Website & Coaching Enquiries: https:// www.weaponizedlove.com/Coaching & Speaking Engagements:narcscon@gmail.com* Read the Book: Weaponised Love -https://Im.fm/*Listen to my audiobook:Weaponized Love: Understanding How Narcissists Think Is Key to Protect, Heal and Thriveyou can listen to the full audiobook here:https://www.audible.com/pd/Weaponized-Love-Audiobook/B0GFG8TQTQ• Support the Channel: Donate via PayPal - https:// www.paypal.com/paypalme/narcscon?country.x=.Disclaimer: This content is for educational and informational purposes only.

The Antichrist behind the “Godly Narcissist's Mask” is a form of spiritual deception many people struggle to recognize. In this video, we explore how narcissistic individuals can hide behind religion, faith, and a godly image while manipulating others for control, power, and admiration. These individuals often appear righteous, humble, and spiritually mature on the surface, yet their actions reveal patterns of pride, domination, spiritual abuse, and lack of genuine love.We examine the concept of the antichrist spirit described in Scripture and how it can manifest through religious narcissism. Many people have experienced toxic church leadership, controlling spiritual mentors, or partners who use faith as a weapon. Understanding the difference between true spiritual fruit and narcissistic manipulation is essential for protecting your faith and spiritual well-being. This discussion looks at the psychological traits of narcissism alongside biblical warnings about false teachers, wolves in sheep's clothing, and those who claim to represent God while actually serving their own ego. Recognizing these patterns can help believers discern authentic faith from spiritual performance.#narcissism #antichrist #holynarcissisthttps://youtu.be/HRhNw3b-gxk• Website & Coaching Enquiries: https:// www.weaponizedlove.com/Coaching & Speaking Engagements:narcscon@gmail.com* Read the Book: Weaponised Love -https://Im.fm/ r3aEwvK• Shop Designs & Technology: https:// www.tracyspence.co.uk• Support the Channel: Donate via PayPal - https:// www.paypal.com/paypalme/narcscon?country.x=.Disclaimer: This content is for educational and informational purposes only.

In this episode of The Spiritual Artist Podcast, CJ Miller speaks with coach and author Joey Lott about the actual nature of experience, the limits of the thinking mind, and the freedom that becomes possible when we stop trying to control every sensation, emotion, or moment of discomfort.Joey shares his own journey as a long-time spiritual seeker who once believed peace would come through elevated states, spiritual practices, and finding the “right” answer. Over time, he discovered that true freedom did not come from escaping experience, but from becoming genuinely curious about what is actually happening in the present moment.Together, CJ and Joey explore chronic tension, social media triggers, somatic awareness, creativity, and the courage it takes to live from the unknown. Their conversation invites listeners to stop collapsing life into labels and instead remain open, curious, and alive to the mystery of direct experience.Three key themes emerge throughout the conversation:• The actual nature of experience — learning to meet life directly rather than immediately labeling or resisting it. Joey invites us to look beneath labels like anxiety, depression, stress, or pain and ask, “What is actually here right now?” Instead of rushing to fix, explain, or escape discomfort, he suggests meeting experience with curiosity.• Staying with the question — discovering that openness and inquiry can sometimes be more transformative than rushing toward certainty or answers. Rather than using questions only to find quick answers, Joey describes inquiry as a living practice. The question itself can open space, soften urgency, and keep us from collapsing life into rigid certainty.• The body as a doorway to aliveness — recognizing chronic tension, bracing, and overthinking while allowing the body to reconnect us with presence and authentic living. Joey talks about chronic bracing, tension, and the way many of us live from the thinking mind. By noticing the body and allowing feeling to reawaken, we begin to experience life more directly, even when it feels messy, uncomfortable, or unknown.CJ and Joey also discuss creativity as a spiritual practice, the role of music and memory in awakening aliveness, and how true creativity often emerges from stepping into the unknown rather than repeating what is already familiar.For more information about Joey's work or to schedule a coaching session, visit joeylott.com.

Have you ever had a week where you questioned whether your work even mattered?In this deeply personal episode, CJ Miller shares a raw recording captured just minutes after receiving a handwritten letter from a young artist on the West Coast who had read his book, The Spiritual Artist. The unexpected letter arrived during a week filled with doubt, uncertainty, and questions about purpose. What CJ discovered inside the envelope moved him to tears.The letter speaks about creativity, surrender, solitude, spiritual identity, emotional sensitivity, and the longing to create from something deeper than recognition or success. It also reflects on artists like Kandinsky and Georgia O'Keeffe, the pull of New Mexico, and the search for a more meaningful artistic life.This episode is not polished. It's human.A conversation about what happens when something you create quietly reaches another person in a profound way.Sometimes we never know if our words, paintings, podcasts, or presence matter.And then one day… a letter arrives.Want to learn more about CJ Miller?

When you confront narcissistic behavior such as gaslighting, manipulation, lying, or emotional abuse, the reaction is rarely calm. In this video, we break down how narcissists respond to exposure, including narcissistic rage, blame shifting, silent treatment, smear campaigns, and DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender). We also cover the Narc Con channel version known as DABD: Deny, Attack, Blame, and Deflect/Distract — a common pattern narcissists use to avoid accountability, shift focus, and regain control. If you are dealing with a covert narcissist, toxic partner, narcissistic parent, or narcissist at work, this video will help you understand what to expect and how to protect yourself when confronting narcissistic abuse.#narcissist #narcissisticabuse #gaslightinghttps://youtu.be/atya8ZiazdU• Website & Coaching Enquiries: https:// www.weaponizedlove.com/Coaching & Speaking Engagements:narcscon@gmail.com* Read the Book: Weaponised Love -https://Im.fm/ r3aEwvK• Shop Designs & Technology: https:// www.tracyspence.co.uk• Support the Channel: Donate via PayPal - https:// www.paypal.com/paypalme/narcscon?country.x=.Disclaimer: This content is for educational and informational purposes only.

This week on Coffee & Tea with CarrieVee, Carrie is diving into a conversation that so many women are quietly having behind closed doors:Why does “wellness” suddenly feel so exhausting?Somewhere along the way, taking care of ourselves stopped feeling peaceful… and started feeling like another impossible standard to achieve. Track your sleep. Track your food. Optimize your hormones. Drink electrolytes. Take the supplements. Heal your gut. Strength train. Meditate. Wake up at 5am. Journal. Cold plunge. Stretch. Hydrate. Fix your cortisol.…and somehow still look calm while doing all of it.No wonder women are overwhelmed.In this deeply honest episode, Carrie unpacks how wellness culture has shifted from supportive to performative—and why it's time to simplify, reconnect with ourselves, and stop treating our bodies like projects that constantly need fixing. “You are allowed to take care of yourself without obsessing over yourself.” Book CarrieVee for a Speaking Engagement: https://www.coachcarriev.com/contact-me Join the Confidence and Clarity Membership! https://carrievee.com/confidence-clarity-1 Connect with CarrieVee:www.carrievee.comcarriev@coachcarriev.comIG: @iamcarrievee TT: @carrievee2022FB: Carrie VerrocchioLI: Carrie Verrocchio

"If you can get one paid gig, you can build an empire off that."Welcome back to The Speaker Lab Podcast! In this episode, Dan Irvin (the newly minted TSL CEO and new host of the TSL podcast!) sits down with Erick Rheam — The Speaker Lab's own resident speaker and lead coach — to unpack one of the most remarkable client stories we've ever told: how Erick turned a single speaking relationship into a three-year, $900,000 contract.But here's the thing — the $900,000 didn't come from being the best speaker in the room. It came from being the most intentional. Erick breaks down a 12-year journey that started with a chance conversation at a vendor booth, a coaching nudge to lean into his niche, and a decision to consistently deliver more value than any client expected. His story is a masterclass in how speakers who think like business owners — not performers — build something that lasts.Whether you just landed your first $1,000 gig or you're wondering how to turn a great client relationship into something bigger, this episode is packed with practical wisdom you can use right now.You'll learn:How Erick stumbled into speaking from the utility industry — and why that "detour" made him millionsWhy leaning into your existing niche (instead of running from it) is one of the fastest paths to credibilityThe counterintuitive reason Erick gave away content rights early on — and how it paid off over a decade laterHow to build talks your audience actually wants by listening first and pitching secondThe role Speaker Lab coaching played as a critical inflection point in Erick's careerHow a simple exit interview after every gig opened the door to consulting, workshops, and eventually that $900K contractWhy $900,000 had much less to do with what Erick did on stage — and everything to do with what he did around itThe four things Erick would tell his younger self: niche, audience problem, system, and coachingHow Erick closed $68,000 in gigs in a single week — prospecting just one hour a dayWhat to focus on when you land your first $1K–$5K gig so you don't miss the opportunity right in front of youAnd much, much more!"I think I'm an average speaker at best, maybe above average. I do alright. However, I'm organized, and I follow a system. And the system is not that hard. It's duplicatable. It's scalable."--Ready to build your own predictable speaking business?
