REWIND: After a conversation with Rabbi Rami Shapiro, CJ reflects on why spiritual independence matters—especially for those burned by religion. Drawing from the Gospel of Thomas, mystic traditions, and insights echoed by Eckhart Tolle, CJ explores the difference between belief and realization, form and essence, doing and being. When presence becomes primary and effort softens, coherence emerges—and the Field of Creative Intelligence reveals itself.Want to learn more about CJ Miller?

In this wide-ranging and deeply human conversation, CJ sits down with Rabbi Rami Shapiro—award-winning author of more than three dozen books, longtime contributor to Spirituality & Health Magazine, and co-founder of the One River and One Foot Judaism Foundations.Together, they explore what it truly means to live as a spiritually independent person—not as an idea or belief system, but as a way of being in the world.Rabbi Rami speaks candidly about 12-Step spirituality, surrender, and the illusion of control, offering a liberating reframe: we don't surrender to a greater power—we awaken to the fact that we are already part of it. From there, the conversation moves into the nature of the observer, the “Greater I,” and what happens when identity loosens and language begins to fall away.Drawing from Zen, Judaism, mysticism, and lived experience, Rabbi Rami shares insights on active stillness, mantra practice (including Ein od milvado—“there is nothing else besides this”), and why struggling to feel connected only reinforces the false belief that we are separate.CJ and Rabbi Rami also explore creativity as a spiritual practice—whether standing in front of an easel, writing without preconception, or drawing an Enso in a single embodied moment. Writing, art, and speech become portals for presence rather than acts of effort or control.The conversation touches on necessary versus unnecessary suffering, the breakdown of ego through language, the role of laughter as spiritual liberation, and why mystics—ancient and contemporary—continue to point us beyond the madness of dogma and division.This episode is an invitation to remember who you are. To re-member yourself back into the whole. And to live joyfully and ethically without needing certainty to hold it all together.Want to learn more about CJ Miller?

The conversation is packed with actionable strategies, real-world stories, and a healthy dose of humor as Bud and Jen dive into the systems and mindsets that drive success in real estate investing.   Bud details his rigorous tenant screening process, including his unique 100-point scoring system and the integration of AI tools to streamline and safeguard property management. He emphasizes the importance of consistency, documentation, and systems—not just for legal protection, but for scaling a successful rental business. Bud also shares tips for landlords on lease clauses, maintenance responsibilities, and how to create standard operating procedures using innovative tools.   The episode wraps up with Bud's "BADASS" insights, covering his favorite books, advice, systems, and what success means to him. He offers encouragement to take action, invest in education, and serve others—values that have shaped his own journey.

#femalenarcissist #malignantnarcissist #mothernarcissistA raw and personal channel member story about surviving a malignant narcissist mother and enduring the reality of narcissistic parenting. This powerful story explores emotional abuse, manipulation, gaslighting, psychological control, lack of empathy, and the exhausting cycle of criticism and conditional love common in narcissistic parent relationships. It dives into how these experiences shape self-worth, identity, boundaries, and long-term mental health — often influencing adult life choices such as relationships, career paths, people-pleasing tendencies, perfectionism, difficulty trusting others, fear of conflict, and even patterns of repeating trauma bonds or seeking external validation. The story also highlights the process of recognizing abuse patterns, breaking the cycle, healing from childhood trauma, reclaiming personal autonomy, and making conscious life decisions free from inherited survival adaptations. Honest, insightful, and empowering for anyone who has lived through malignant or maternal narcissistic abuse and is navigating the long road toward recovery and self-healing.https://youtu.be/pRQTmvpenc8• 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 deeply embodied conversation, CJ is joined by Cameron Cohen, a Los Angeles–based intuitive artist known for her Manifestation Paintings—custom works created as living tools for clarity, alignment, and intention.Together, they explore why words often fall short and how the body becomes our most reliable guide. Cameron shares how she listens for a full-body Yes through sensation—tingling, warmth, chills, and goosebumps—and how those signals guide both her life and her art. For her, the body is a receiving instrument, like a microphone tuned to Creative Intelligence.Cameron walks CJ through a real-time fear process, gently reshaping sensation through curiosity, imagination, and joy—turning “icky into Mickey.” They discuss co-creation, guided visualization, color as personal language, and how intuitive art invites clients into the creative process itself. Whether working over Zoom or in person, Cameron's approach honors sensitivity as strength and intuition as practical wisdom.The conversation also touches on silence, digital detox, energetic boundaries, and learning to protect your field without shutting down. Cameron speaks candidly about her bipolar diagnosis, reframing it as a superpower once she learned how to work with her nervous system instead of against it.This episode is an invitation to listen differently—to your body, your emotions, and the subtle signals that say yes, no, or not yet. As CJ reminds us, honoring the full spectrum of who you are creates space for coherence, truth, and authentic expression.Learn more about Cameron's work, including her Love Mural project, at www.cameroncohenart.comWant to learn more about CJ Miller?

After the recent events in Venezuela, I noticed my mind looping and my body tightening. I've always considered empathy a strength—but every strength has a shadow side. When sensitivity turns into over-identification, it stops being a gift and becomes a burden.In this video, I share a simple awareness framework: noticing thoughts, bodily sensations, and emotional tone—without becoming them. You are a drop of Spirit, not the whole ocean. You can care deeply without carrying the weight of the world. Coherent alignment comes from balance, not force—and when thinking, feeling, and emotion realign, clarity and guidance naturally arise. Creative Intelligence meets you.Before we close, think of a trait you're proud of. Empathy. Sensitivity. Responsibility.Ask gently: Where might this be too much? Where might it need balance instead of suppression?That awareness alone can change everything.Learn more in my book Spiritual Parable: A 40-Day Practice.Want to learn more about CJ Miller?

In this special podcast episode, CJ turns on the record button during one of his real counseling sessions with breathwork and Somatic Experiencing specialist Jonathan Schechter, offering listeners an intimate look into embodied healing in real time. Together, they explore how we're often taught to view life—and healing—through a strictly material lens, while our medical system is far less equipped to address emotional states, stress, and the nervous system. Jonathan encourages listeners to become their own practitioners by cultivating curiosity and awareness, likening it to discovering new colors beyond a limited palette—and even noticing the space between the colors, where real power lives.CJ shares a simple but revealing moment from daily life: while folding laundry, he noticed he wasn't breathing, unconsciously waiting until the task was finished to take a breath. Inspired by Jack Kornfield's After the Ecstasy, the Laundry, the conversation turns toward bringing meditative awareness into ordinary chores—and celebrating the awareness itself. As Jonathan reminds us, without awareness there can be no change.The discussion deepens as CJ talks openly about chronic pain, rushing habits, and resisting sadness following the loss of a close friend and mentor. Jonathan explains how the nervous system adapts to its environment and why somatic healing takes time. He guides CJ through a gentle practice of finding areas of ease in the body, then slowly returning to the emotional “epicenter” without becoming flooded—a process known as pendulation, developed by Peter Levine, founder of Somatic Experiencing. Like building strength at the gym, healing happens gradually, by moving between discomfort and safety.Jonathan also introduces Levine's SIBAM model, which breaks experience into five layers—Sensation, Image, Behavior, Affect, and Meaning—allowing overwhelming experiences like pain to be gently separated and processed in manageable pieces. They recommend Levine's book In an Unspoken Voice as a key resource and discuss how pendulation and SIBAM can become practical tools during pain or flare-ups.Later in the episode, CJ shares a new healing power statement—“I open my fist to healing; my body and mind harmonize”—and reflects on releasing old coping strategies that once served him but are no longer needed. Jonathan reframes this not as failure, but as safety: now the body is safe enough to heal. CJ even shares a creative way to reinforce intention by turning power statements into daily-use passwords.The episode closes with Jonathan recommending meditation teacher and author Shinzen Young, whose work focuses on working skillfully with physical pain and discomfort—offering listeners yet another doorway into mindful, embodied healing.For more information on Jonathan Schecter visit: https://bluemagicalchemy.com/Want to learn more about CJ Miller?

Marc Tyler Nobleman thought the same thing when he discovered that Bill Finger, Batman's actual co-creator, had been erased from history for 76 years while the artist took all the credit. But here's the difference: Marc didn't just shake his head and move on. He launched a nine-year battle against DC Comics, a billion-dollar corporation armed with nothing but determination and the truth. And he won. His campaign resulted in a Hulu documentary, a TED Talk, a book called "Bill the Boy Wonder," and speaking engagements across nearly 20 countries. Marc Nobleman proves that you don't need power, money, or connections to win battles that everyone else has already declared unwinnable.   Episode Highlights: 03:27 The Untold Story of Bill Finger 07:38 Challenges in Recognizing Bill Finger 09:24 Marc's Journey and Persistence 14:14 Bill Finger's Family and Legacy 21:10 Marc's Speaking Engagements and Impact 27:37 How to Connect with Marc Tyler Nobleman Show Links:  https://www.marctylernobleman.com/ Batman & Bill trailer Bill the Boy Wonder: The Secret Co-Creator of Batman

The Boundaries of Trust with Kaitlyn McCartyDo you find yourself trusting too easily? Do you have a hard time trusting anyone? In Episode 19, Karrie and Kaitlyn McCarty reveal that even though they found themselves at opposite ends of the trust spectrum, they both longed for the same thing; an inner circle where they could be vulnerable and loved as their true self. Kaitlyn, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and Freedom Movement Facilitator, shares her insight on practical ways to begin to create an inner circle of trust, as well as set boundaries for people outside of that inner circle. Kaitlyn reflects on how she often found herself working hard to feel loved by people and to make herself “fit” into systems. She believed her open vulnerability could build safe spaces for everyone and that it would allow her to control the outcome of a relationship. Something changed when Kaitlyn found herself fighting a system she could not allow herself to fit into and it led her on a journey to finding a true inner circle. It required her to put boundaries in place for herself and redefined what it meant to trust as a more whole and integrated person.Kaitlyn is also the creator of Peace Practices, a four-week journey designed to help you explore the rhythms of your body and emotions. Through a blend of education, spiritual truth, and somatic practices, you'll learn how your nervous system works, how God designed your body, and how to honor your emotions without needing to “fix” them. Learn more about Peace Practices here: https://www.wearefm.org/offers/azjSLCUF/checkout Schedule a session with Kaitlyn here: https://www.wearefm.org/KaitlynKarrie's Instagram: @karriescottgarciaKarrie's Website: karriegarcia.comFreedom Movement Instagram: @freedom_movementFreedom Movement Website: wearefm.orgSign up for Freedom Movement Trainings: https://www.wearefm.org/trainingsFind Story Work Retreat info & sign-ups:https://www.karriegarcia.com/work-with-karriePurchase Karrie's book Free & Fully Alive!https://www.amazon.com/dp/0310366445?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_A6200T1AKD7FS2PZ8VA1Book Karrie for Speaking Engagements:https://www.karriegarcia.com/book-karrie Music by Tanya Godsey

Why B2B Marketers Hesitate to Choose an AI Tool and How to Move Forward with ConfidenceIn this episode, Donna Peterson talks about the real fears many B2B marketers face when thinking about using AI tools and large language models. She explains why choosing an AI tool can feel overwhelming and why many industrial brands, executive education programs, and companies with long sales cycles hesitate to get started.Donna highlights three concerns she hears most often:• Not knowing which large language model to choose• Worrying that AI will harm personal relationships• Feeling unsure about learning what seems like a new technologyShe explains that tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot all work in similar ways, and the key is understanding how to guide them. Donna reinforces that AI should not replace personal connection. Instead, it should give marketers more time to build trust by handling routine tasks in the background.Listeners will learn how large language models respond to clear direction, why “garbage in, garbage out” still applies, and how to start using AI safely without risking their brand voice. Donna also discusses the increasing interest in AI agents and why companies need to understand LLMs before creating customized agents for different departments.The episode includes simple steps B2B teams can take to start using AI immediately, along with practical guidance for industrial marketers who want to use AI without losing the human touch that builds long-term relationships.These insights support marketers looking for clarity on how to start with AI, how to protect their brand voice, and how to use AI tools responsibly in B2B marketing.Episode Chapters:00:00 Introduction and Purpose00:56 Common Fears of B2B Brands Using AI01:29 Choosing the Right AI Tool02:38 Overcoming the Fear of Learning New Technology03:23 Maintaining Personal Connections with AI05:20 Deep Dive into Large Language Models06:19 The Importance of AI Training in Corporations08:01 The Role of AI Agents in Business10:38 Practical Tips for Using AI Effectively14:38 The Risks of Relying Solely on Software Platforms19:29 Final Thoughts and EncouragementIf you found this episode helpful, please subscribe and rate the show.

Rebuilding Trust: The Gateway Between Fear and FaithFaith is a key component of living fully free. But what if our faith has wavered in the aftermath of pain or betrayal? How do we get to a place of trusting when our brain senses danger? In Episode 17, Karrie explains the biological and spiritual reasons that betrayal and pain in our story affect our ability to trust.  The brain has systems in place that exist to keep us safe. When we are hurt, the brain creates pathways that will remind us of that specific danger. When trust is broken over and over again, our threat systems are on high alert constantly. This hyper-vigilance becomes disruptive to daily life and our ability to thrive is taken away.  How do we rewire the brain to begin to trust? Through the process of healing the wounds in our story, we can begin to find goodness. When we have grieved and repented, we see more clearly the ways we can trust God, self and others. Karrie explains that the rebuilding of trust takes time and she encourages listeners to find consistent, safe spaces where we can share vulnerably.  Reflection:Where in your story did trust first break?How has your body learned to distrust?Can you name one act of trust today?Karrie's Instagram: @karriescottgarciaKarrie's Website: karriegarcia.comFreedom Movement Instagram: @freedom_movementFreedom Movement Website: wearefm.orgSign up for Freedom Movement Trainings: https://www.wearefm.org/trainingsFind Story Work Retreat info & sign-ups:https://www.karriegarcia.com/work-with-karriePurchase Karrie's book Free & Fully Alive!https://www.amazon.com/dp/0310366445?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_A6200T1AKD7FS2PZ8VA1Book Karrie for Speaking Engagements:https://www.karriegarcia.com/book-karrie Music by Tanya Godsey

What Is Your Calling? with Tori HeinTori Hein rejoins Karrie in Episode 16 to continue the discussion of restoration leading to calling. Tori shares that her definition of calling has shifted as she experiences deeper levels of healing within her own story. What she had thought was her calling was actually a use of her gifts to chase productivity and success. Raised in the church community, Tori had to untangle what Jesus asks of us from what the world demands from us. What she found through the process of story work and her personal connection with God, was that her unique gifts were going to be used to steward instead of providing a service. In addition to being the Director of Marketing and Strategy for Freedom Movement and Freedom Coach, Tori is also the creator and author of Work from Worth, a twelve week online mentorship program for women who desire to heal the dysfunctional behavior patterns in their lives to approach their work with secured  worth  and wholeness. To learn more about Work From Worth visit: https://www.wearefm.org/work-from-worthTo schedule a coaching session with Tori visit:https://www.wearefm.org/toriKarrie's Instagram: @karriescottgarciaKarrie's Website: karriegarcia.comFreedom Movement Instagram: @freedom_movementFreedom Movement Website: wearefm.orgSign up for Freedom Movement Trainings: https://www.wearefm.org/trainingsFind Story Work Retreat info & sign-ups:https://www.karriegarcia.com/work-with-karriePurchase Karrie's book Free & Fully Alive!https://www.amazon.com/dp/0310366445?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_A6200T1AKD7FS2PZ8VA1Book Karrie for Speaking Engagements:https://www.karriegarcia.com/book-karrie Music by Tanya Godsey

Restoration Is Coupled With Our “Go”“I am working hard at healing my story but where is it leading me?” Karrie explains in Episode 15, that healing work brings us to our place of “go”. When we have allowed ourselves to experience the steps of healing and truly process our story, our calling begins to be revealed.Karrie shares how her story shaped her calling: connecting people to God, self and others so that they may experience freedom from wounds that keep them bound. The vehicle through which she shares her calling is Freedom Movement. Karrie explains that your calling can be lived out in any job you hold. What is the difference between gifting and calling? This episode is full of examples of gifting vs calling and Karrie points to scripture with the story of Paul. Paul's gifts of communication, leadership and conviction are revealed early on; however, when he meets Jesus his true calling is revealed and the vehicle he uses changes. Reflection:What makes me come alive? Where do I say “I don't want anyone to experience _________?”Karrie's Instagram: @karriescottgarciaKarrie's Website: karriegarcia.comFreedom Movement Instagram: @freedom_movementFreedom Movement Website: wearefm.orgSign up for Freedom Movement Trainings: https://www.wearefm.org/trainingsFind Story Work Retreat info & sign-ups:https://www.karriegarcia.com/work-with-karriePurchase Karrie's book Free & Fully Alive!https://www.amazon.com/dp/0310366445?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_A6200T1AKD7FS2PZ8VA1Book Karrie for Speaking Engagements:https://www.karriegarcia.com/book-karrie Music by Tanya Godsey

In this end-of-year episode, CJ reflects on the highlights and growth points that shaped his 2025. He speaks openly about “hitting the wall” when chronic pain entered his life, and how choosing to share his struggle created unexpected openings. By practicing presence instead of isolation, CJ found himself in deeper relationship with others.He describes trying countless approaches to find relief—medications, exercise, physical therapy, breathwork and more. While nothing offered a quick fix, the experience “cracked him wide open,” and deepened his empathy. And it reminded him that living in a physical body brings challenges that aren't always the result of our thoughts, despite what some New Thought teachings suggest.Some seasons of life require patience and a long, committed effort. They invite us to stay present, even when the journey feels uncertain.CJ recommends his interview with Jonathan Schechter on breathwork along with two books that supported him this year: Mark Nepo's The Book of Awakening and Amoda Maa's Embodied Enlightenment. Both writers speak beautifully about meeting life as it is and discovering presence even in discomfort.Sharing this journey with his students has been one of the most meaningful parts of his year. As CJ says, we are here to walk each other home. Not to fix one another, but to witness each other with tenderness. To show up with presence. To remind each other that we don't have to navigate the hard moments alone.As we move into the holiday season, CJ invites you to practice presence with the people in your life. Hold a sense of love in your heart. Allow yourself to slow down, listen, and walk beside those you care about. We are Spirit expressed in physical form, and our presence is often the greatest gift we can offer.He closes with an exciting announcement: beginning January 4, he will launch an online Daily Doodle Contest. Each day he will read a parable from his new book Spiritual Parable as a Daily Practice. Listeners are invited to submit drawings inspired by each story, and selected pieces will be included in a published coloring book next year.Want to learn more about CJ Miller?

Dallas-based painter Matt Kaplinsky captures the spirit of place through a warm, folksy impressionism that blends nature, memory, and imagination. A self-taught artist inspired by Matisse, Van Gogh, and Bonnard, Matt paints with curiosity and flow—allowing each brushstroke to reveal where Creative Intelligence wants to go next.In this conversation, Matt and CJ explore how the path of least resistance guides both art and life. Matt shares how his work continually “veers off,” and instead of fighting it, he listens to the subtle energies leading him downstream. From vivid cowboy scenes to delicate garden still lifes, each painting becomes a dialogue between effort and surrender.Together, they discuss how art acts as a lens—not transparent like glasses, but a spiritual way of seeing. Through that lens, we glimpse a shared universe, where making and viewing art allows us to perceive more than the surface of things.Matt reminds us: the best paintings happen when we stop forcing the outcome and simply flow with what is.“If you're alive and you can take in art, for a moment your brain is looking through the lens of the artist and glancing into a different sense of our shared reality.”Learn more about Matt at www.mattkaplinsky.com and find him on Instagram @mattkaplinsky.Want to learn more about CJ Miller?

In Episode 14, guest Abby Call, Freedom Movement Coach and Facilitator, shares with us her struggle to forgive and how she overcame it.Karrie and Abby discuss how the act of forgiveness carries a lot of weight in the Christian community. If the ultimate goal is just to forgive those who have hurt us, what happens when we can't? The inability to will ourselves to forgive ends up bringing us more shame and feelings of not being faithful enough. Abby reveals a candid look into her journey through Freedom Academy and how old wounds were sometimes messy to deal with. What is it like to sit in anger and rage, and also try to forgive at the same time? Abby shares that Freedom Academy allowed her to put forgiveness in its place. Abby was given the space she needed to walk through the steps of healing and then come to forgiveness as a more authentic release.To learn more about Abby or to schedule a coaching session:https://www.wearefm.org/abbyKarrie's Instagram: @karriescottgarciaKarrie's Website: karriegarcia.comFreedom Movement Instagram: @freedom_movementFreedom Movement Website: wearefm.orgSign up for Freedom Movement Trainings: https://www.wearefm.org/trainingsFind Story Work Retreat info & sign-ups:https://www.karriegarcia.com/work-with-karriePurchase Karrie's book Free & Fully Alive!https://www.amazon.com/dp/0310366445?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_A6200T1AKD7FS2PZ8VA1Book Karrie for Speaking Engagements:https://www.karriegarcia.com/book-karrie Music by Tanya Godsey

The Parental Narcissist – Experiencing a Narcissistic Father | A True Story of Narcissist's DarknessIn this podcast by Narc Con, we explore the painful reality of living with a narcissistic father. Through a powerful true story, we uncover how parental narcissism impacts childhood, family dynamics, self-worth, and emotional well-being. This account sheds light on the hidden abuse, manipulation, control, and lasting trauma caused by narcissistic parenting. If you grew up with a narcissistic father or have struggled with parental narcissism, this story will help you recognize patterns of emotional abuse, gaslighting, and toxic family dynamics. At Narc Con, we are dedicated to exposing narcissism, supporting survivors, and spreading awareness about narcissistic abuse recovery.

The Release That HealsWhat does it mean to truly forgive? In Episode 13, Karrie walks us through the act of forgiveness and reveals God's plan for bringing freedom to us through this often  misunderstood step in healing. We learn that forgiveness is not a quick transaction. When we offer forgiveness to others we aren't erasing the wrongs they have done to us. And when others forgive us, the pain we've caused isn't magically forgotten. True forgiveness is part of a longer process of healing. A total heart transformation that comes through the steps of naming, grieving, repenting and finding gratitude, and from that process flows a supernatural forgiveness from within us and re-anchors us to God. It is in the deepening of our relationship with God that we begin to know and feel His love for us and His forgiveness for us, and in turn we become free to forgive others. Karrie explains true forgiveness breaks the ongoing power that an action had over us and brings to light our own sinful acts so that we can now begin to see with a more compassionate perspective. Karrie's Instagram: @karriescottgarciaKarrie's Website: karriegarcia.comFreedom Movement Instagram: @freedom_movementFreedom Movement Website: wearefm.orgSign up for Freedom Movement Trainings: https://www.wearefm.org/trainingsFind Story Work Retreat info & sign-ups:https://www.karriegarcia.com/work-with-karriePurchase Karrie's book Free & Fully Alive!https://www.amazon.com/dp/0310366445?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_A6200T1AKD7FS2PZ8VA1Book Karrie for Speaking Engagements:https://www.karriegarcia.com/book-karrie Music by Tanya Godsey

Today's guest is Tina Jacobson, a lifelong artist and spiritual explorer from Australia whose creative journey weaves art, intuition, and healing. Raised on an animal-filled farm by creative parents, Tina has spent her life immersed in design, murals, and illustration. Her coloring books, including The Colorful Life Colouring Book, invite readers to reconnect with creativity as a gentle, spiritual practice rather than a task to complete.Through years of self-discovery, Tina learned that healing begins by watching the mind. Once trapped in cycles of self-criticism and dark thoughts, she discovered that thoughts aren't truth—they're passing waves. Influenced by teachers like Michael Singer and Byron Katie, Tina began observing her thoughts instead of believing them, noticing how they affected her body. She reminds us, if you can bring that fear back to your body and feel at ease, you can't change anything—but when you're in your body, you're closer to your intuition, and it will give you ideas on what to do. Fix yourself, heal the world. Use your body to bring dark thoughts to light.Our conversation explores how coloring, movement, and awareness of the body can return us to presence and Creative Intelligence. Tina reminds us that love doesn't mind when things fall apart—it simply observes. When we witness our thoughts without judgment, they lose their grip, and creativity becomes a path to freedom.For more information, visit www.spiritualartisttoday.com.

Growing Goodness and Gratitude From Within - with Tanya GodseyKarrie welcomes Freedom Movement Director of Spiritual Formation, writer and artist, Tanya Godsey to continue the discussion of goodness and gratitude. Tanya shares some of her personal journey with grief and how her relationship with God was key to her regaining hope during a time of despair. Tanya explains that we have a choice of how deeply we step into our relationship with God and our commitment to that relationship is the foundation for cultivating goodness and gratitude. Tanya gives practical advice for how to continue to keep goodness growing and a few questions to ask yourself when you are feeling overwhelmed by the world we live in. -Is my time and attention moving further from God? -Am I feeling an unhealthy longing or hyper-vigilance about having more information? -Where am I being too easily tempted to fall into unhealthy patterns?Tanya and Karrie end the episode with two simple things anyone can do to begin building intimacy with God and ultimately bring goodness and gratitude to the heart:Set aside 10 minutes of stillnessIf you had ten minutes with God what would you want to tell him? Befriending God by Tanya Godseyhttps://a.co/d/9bCtj0ZTo learn more about Tanya visit https://tanyagodsey.com/homeTanya's music can be found on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/4h3MTNgpLd9G3Yly2HJtnO?si=eRG3Ka-qQvKQ8X4wId8JmwKarrie's Instagram: @karriescottgarciaKarrie's Website: karriegarcia.comFreedom Movement Instagram: @freedom_movementFreedom Movement Website: wearefm.orgSign up for Freedom Movement Trainings: https://www.wearefm.org/trainingsFind Story Work Retreat info & sign-ups:https://www.karriegarcia.com/work-with-karriePurchase Karrie's book Free & Fully Alive!https://www.amazon.com/dp/0310366445?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_A6200T1AKD7FS2PZ8VA1Book Karrie for Speaking Engagements:https://www.karriegarcia.com/book-karrie Music by Tanya Godsey

Goodness and Gratitude “There is something about supernatural gratitude, where you have been met in the depths of your story and your heart, and His love has held you, and someone else's face stayed with you…. It creates something within you that you aren't able to do on your own.” -Karrie GarciaKarrie explores the topic of goodness and gratitude in Episode 11 of the Honest Pod. Do we misuse gratitude when we bypass pain and go straight to the good? Why is gratitude such an integral part of restoring shalom? Karrie reminds us that true gratitude is the fruit of an honest conversation. When our story has been met with love, from God and others, and we are welcomed instead of dismissed, we are more clearly able to see goodness and hope. To help illustrate what this looks like, Karrie shares a personal story of finding goodness during a difficult time. It was though the process of moving through the steps of shalom restored that Karrie was able to look back and find gratitude. Once we are able to move toward gratitude, Karrie reminds us of all the ways we are healed from within. Benefits of GratitudeReleases dopamine and serotoninRegulates nervous systemDecreases symptoms of depression and anxietyBrings contentment Cultivates empathy Creates capacity to forgiveKarrie's Instagram: @karriescottgarciaKarrie's Website: karriegarcia.comFreedom Movement Instagram: @freedom_movementFreedom Movement Website: wearefm.orgSign up for Freedom Movement Trainings: https://www.wearefm.org/trainingsFind Story Work Retreat info & sign-ups:https://www.karriegarcia.com/work-with-karriePurchase Karrie's book Free & Fully Alive!https://www.amazon.com/dp/0310366445?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_A6200T1AKD7FS2PZ8VA1Book Karrie for Speaking Engagements:https://www.karriegarcia.com/book-karrie Music by Tanya Godsay

Have you ever told yourself, I will never again show my sadness? Have you ever told yourself, I will never again allow myself to be vulnerable? Our guest this week uncovers the areas that we define as “never again” are also the areas we are invited to “turn around”. The Honest Pod is honored to have Adam Young join us on Episode 10 as he and Karrie continue the discussion of repentance. The Greek definition of repentance is “to change one's mind” or “to turn around and go in another direction”. Adam and Karrie discuss the despair that it often takes for a person to reach a point of “turning around”. They both share instances of being exposed in their own grief and longing which then ultimately led them to repentance. How do we begin the process of repenting once we have acknowledged the grief of our story? Adam suggests first notice your body. Look at those areas where you feel dysregulated during the course of the day. And next, be kind and curious about the events that led to that feeling in your body. What was happening? What was my body reacting to? By starting to engage in those feelings we find the areas that need attention and eventually repentance. This redirection can feel really risky and unsettling, but Adam reminds us that the gift of repentance is that we get to rest in God by becoming more of who we were meant to be, and we begin to let go of the “never again” we were bound to. Make Sense of Your Story by Adam Younghttps://a.co/d/5Z2g2EvTo learn more about Adam Young visit:https://adamyoungcounseling.comKarrie's Instagram: @karriescottgarciaKarrie's Website: karriegarcia.comFreedom Movement Instagram: @freedom_movementFreedom Movement Website: wearefm.orgSign up for Freedom Movement Trainings: https://www.wearefm.org/trainingsFind Story Work Retreat info & sign-ups:https://www.karriegarcia.com/work-with-karriePurchase Karrie's book Free & Fully Alive!https://www.amazon.com/dp/0310366445?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_A6200T1AKD7FS2PZ8VA1Book Karrie for Speaking Engagements:https://www.karriegarcia.com/book-karrie Music by Tanya Godsay
