Understanding Where You FitIf you're reading this, chances are you're passionate about user experience. But maybe UX isn't actually in your job title. Perhaps you're a marketer, project manager, developer, copywriter, or business analyst who deeply cares about making your products better for users. Or you might be a UX designer or researcher feeling stuck, constantly frustrated trying to advocate for UX in your organization.The reality is that organizations exist at different levels of UX maturity. Some don't value UX at all, others merely pay lip service to it, and many have good intentions but lack a clear strategic direction. Regardless of your exact title or background, what unites us is our shared goal to see UX truly valued and elevated.I've met countless individuals from diverse roles who desperately want to push UX forward, yet feel they're swimming against the current. If this sounds familiar, know you're not alone.UX Leadership Isn't for Everyone (and That's Okay)Let's be honest, UX leadership and strategy aren't for everyone. Many UX designers feel pressure to transition into leadership roles simply to advance their careers, only to find themselves bogged down by endless meetings, organizational politics, and little-to-no time spent on actual design.The truth is, UX leadership isn't about spending more time in Figma or user testing sessions. It's about navigating internal politics, setting strategic directions, and managing upwards, not just downwards. It demands patience, persistence, and the ability to influence and collaborate across departments. It's a marathon, not a sprint.That's not everyone's cup of tea—and that's perfectly fine. There are plenty of alternative paths for growth in UX, whether it's specializing in fintech UX, conversational UX, hybrid roles like UX and Design Ops, or even diving deeper into product-focused UX.Why Choose UX Leadership?But let's say you do feel drawn to leadership. Why step up into this challenging, yet rewarding role?Firstly, you'll gain wider-reaching influence, shaping not just individual designs but your entire organization's approach to user experience. This broader impact can be deeply fulfilling, especially if you're driven by a genuine passion for user-centered design.Secondly, stepping into UX leadership future-proofs your career in an era increasingly influenced by AI. While tactical design tasks might eventually be automated, strategic leadership and decision-making roles will remain secure for years to come.A Special Note for Agency Owners and FreelancersIf you run an agency or work as a freelancer, you might be wondering how UX leadership applies to you. Whether you're currently focused on UI design, web development, or other services, there's a valuable opportunity to evolve into a more strategic advisory role with your clients.By positioning yourself as a UX leader and strategic consultant, you can command higher rates and break free from the typical constraints of project-based work. Instead of simply executing clients' requests, you can help shape their organizational approach to user experience at a fundamental level.This transition isn't easy—it requires building new relationships, developing different skills, and potentially stepping away from the hands-on work you love. But if you're willing to make this journey, it can transform your business. I know this firsthand, as it's the foundation upon which I built my own consultancy.Myths About UX LeadershipThere's a lot of misunderstanding about what UX leadership truly entails. Let's bust a few myths:Myth #1: It's All About the UserMany assume UX leaders exist solely to champion the user's needs. While advocating for users is essential, your primary goal as a UX leader is to drive business value through improved user experiences. If it were only about users, we'd simply give products away for free. That would be great for users, not so great for business.UX leadership connects user needs to clear business outcomes, like increased lifetime value, customer retention, and higher average order values.Myth #2: UX Leadership is Mostly Team ManagementAlthough managing your team matters, your core role involves managing upwards, setting strategic direction, influencing stakeholders, and advocating for user-centered change at an organizational level. Your focus should be strategic, not purely operational.Myth #3: You Need a Fancy TitleYou don't need the official title of UX Leader or Head of Design to lead effectively. Whether you're a developer, marketer, or business analyst, if you're advocating for better UX practices, influencing change, and shaping how your organization thinks about users, you're already acting as a UX leader.Defining Your Role as a UX leaderSo, what exactly does being a UX leader mean?In my experience, it's about five key things:Advocating for Users: Keeping user needs at the forefront.Strategic Facilitation: Guiding and shaping UX vision across the organization.Acting as a Change Agent: Influencing and shifting organizational culture to prioritize UX.Cross-Functional Collaboration: Working effectively with different teams, breaking down silos.Decision-Making Based on User Data: Making informed strategic choices driven by robust user research.This is the essence of UX leadership—no matter your title or current role.Next StepsIn the next email, we're going to redefine your role from what you're currently doing towards what you need to be doing to truly lead UX in your organization. Until then, consider where you fit on this spectrum—are you ready and willing to embrace this challenging but exciting journey?Because if you are, your organization—and its users—will thank you for stepping up.

I end this reflection considering three M's: Masterminding, Models, and One Minute Acts of Manifesting. However, the bulk of the reflection is me interrogating myself as a masterminder (because I gotta little bit of imposter syndrome happening). Supporting themes: Strategy; Envisioning; Ambition; Calibrating; Grief; Death of parents; Motivation; Neurodivergence. Special Note 1: This reflection was inspired in part by Isabel Briggs Meyers ("Gifts Differing"). Special Note 2: I differentiate between three levels of masterminding; lowercase, uppercase, and all caps. Typology: Ni-domness; INTJ; INFJ; Te; Enneagram 8.

Podcast Notes for The Dogpoint Podcast, Episode 16: Small Things Turn Into Big ThingsOpening Acknowledgment I thanked our listeners from all over the world, including Trinidad and Tobago, the USA, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, Australia, and more. I never imagined this podcast would reach so far!Key Theme Small behaviors in dogs that seem harmless or cute can grow into major problems if left unchecked.Examples of Small Things Turning BigDemanding Attention: Pawing might seem cute but is actually a demand for attention. If ignored, it can escalate into growling or snapping when denied.Ignoring Commands: Repeating commands like “sit” without enforcing them teaches dogs to ignore you. Say it once and follow through.Furniture Rules: Allowing dogs to jump on the couch without invitation can lead to territorial behavior, such as growling when you want them off.Doorway Behavior: Dogs rushing out of open doors might start small but can lead to dangerous incidents like running into traffic.Consistency MattersInconsistent rules between family members confuse dogs. Everyone in the household needs to enforce the same rules to maintain the dog's respect and obedience.Feeling tired or sorry for your dog should not lead to letting things slide. This erodes your authority over time.Special Note on Rescue Dogs Rescue dogs don't live in the past; they live in the present. Treat them like any other dog while being mindful of triggers but still hold them accountable.Solutions to Avoid Big ProblemsBe consistent and always enforce commands.Get everyone in the household on the same page.If your dog struggles with a command, evaluate your training method. It's never the dog's fault—it's a training gap.Train daily, even if it's just five minutes.Final Thought Address small issues early to prevent big problems later. Consistency and daily practice lead to an obedient dog that's a joy to live with.Sign-off No drive... No joy! Have fun with your dog.

God's goal in saving you was to make you holy, that you might perfectly glorify Him. Nancy DeMoss - Bible in a Year: Ezekiel 3-4 & Hebrews 11:20-40  Special Note a few hours after this podcast posted Baby Lilith passed.  

Block Version Number in BitcoinThe block version number in Bitcoin serves as an indicator of which set of consensus rules a block follows. It's also used to signal miners' readiness or support for upcoming protocol upgrades. Over time, block version numbers have evolved from simple sequential numbers (like versions 1 through 4) to a more complex bit-field system, which allows for multiple upgrades to be signaled at once.From last time you badgered me I made some notes. Evolution of Block VersionsEarly Versions (1-4):These were straightforward indicators of protocol changes. For example:Version 1 was used from the Genesis block until March 2013.Version 2 came with BIP 34, authored by Gavin Andresen, it added the block height to the coinbase transaction and was activated at Block 227,931 on March 27, 2013.Version 3 enforced stricter signature validation with BIP 66, authored by Pieter Wuille, it ensured correct DER encoding of signatures. It activated at Block 363,725 on July 4, 2015.Version 4 enabled CheckLockTimeVerify (CLTV) with BIP 65, also authored by Pieter Wuille, it allowed for time-locked transactions and activated at Block 388,381 on December 11, 2015.Then come the Version Bits format:Bitcoin upgrades were becoming increasingly complex, the block version system transitioned to the Version Bits signaling mechanism, which allows multiple protocol changes to be signaled at once using specific bits in the block version field, allowing miners to signal support for up to 29 features simultaneously, each represented by a specific bit in the 32-bit version field.When Segregated Witness (SegWit) was introduced, Bitcoin transitioned from simple block versions to the complex numbers seen today.Special Note: before we review the important key version bits, I have to make something clear. These version numbers are more than just sequential; they signal specific changes using bitsI am going to call out version numbers like 536 870 912, which is is the decimal representation of the hexadecimal value 0x20000000The full number 536870912 in binary is 00100000000000000000000000000000.“536" doesn't have standalone significance. It's just a part of the decimal value when the binary representation of 0x20000000 is converted into base 10 (which equals 536870912).The important part lies in the bitwise representation, where the leading bits "001" in the binary form, are reserved for signaling purposes, indicating that version bits are being used.But for the purpose of conveying version numbers to a human (this human being you Max) we will use the decimal representation instead of 0x2 nd a bunch of zeros or 001 and 29 more zeros.Now to the bit version section…Version 536 870 912 indicated readiness for SegWit, introduced through BIP 141 (authored by Pieter Wuille). SegWit was activated on August 24, 2017, at Block 481,824.Version 536 870 913 was used to signal support for BIP 91 and authored by James Hilliard. BIP 91 lowered the threshold required for SegWit's activation. It was locked in at Block 477,120 on July 20, 2017.Version 536 870 914 and 536 870 916 continued signaling for SegWit deployment through various BIPs.How It Works TodayToday, miners use the Version Bits system to signal support for new upgrades, and they must keep their block version numbers in line with consensus rules. Version numbers like 536870912 (SegWit) are still recognized by the network, and each bit in the version number, a miner can signal support for different soft forks simultaneously.For instance, if the network is ready for a future upgrade, miners will flip the corresponding bit in their block version number, signaling their support for the upgrade. The rest of the version field remains intact, allowing multiple soft forks to be signaled at the same time.First 3 bits = 001: Reserved and indicate version bits are being used.Remaining 29 bits: Available for signaling specific soft forks or protocol changes. Each of these bits corresponds to a different potential feature being activated.Car Analogy for Bitcoin Block Version NumbersLet's compare Bitcoin's block version numbers to Fords and how their cars evolved from simple model numbers to VIN numbers that represent various features and changes in their design over the years.The Model T and Block Version 1:Just like Ford's Model T, the first Bitcoin blocks (version 1) were basic, so basic, buyers didn't even have a choice in what color vehicle they could buy “you can have a car in any color so long as its black. Similar to early block versions that had no special features—the first blocks had no complex rules or signals, just the essentials.Evolving Model Years and Version Numbers:As Ford expanded its lineup, more models came out, and so did the need for differentiating cars beyond going from model T to Model A. Apply that to Bitcoin, version 1 to 4 were indicators of upgrades like block height (BIP-34), stricter validation (BIP-66), and time-locked transactions (BIP-65) can be compared to model T to model AComplex Version Bits = New Ford VIN Structure:Eventually, car manufacturers standardized more details in its VIN numbers to reflect all the specifics of each model the world manufacturers identifier, vehicle description section, and the vehicle identifier section—just like Bitcoin's version bits system, which allows for more granular signaling.The VIN was introduced in 1965 to track each vehicle's specifications. The first two characters of the VIN, such as “1F,” identify Ford and where the vehicle was built. 1F is a Ford built in the USA.For example, characters 4-8 in a Ford VIN indicate engine type, body style, and model, much like Bitcoin's complex version numbers (536 870 912 or 0x20000000) that signal specific features like SegWit (BIP-141) or BIP-91 activation.Or version 536 870 916 (0x20000004) signals both SegWit and BIP-91—much like how characters in the Ford VIN specify the engine, body, and trim level of a car.VINs were more standardized in the 80's. Ford's VIN numbers now include production year, plant location, and a unique serial number to distinguish every car (that's characters 10-17). Likewise, Bitcoin's version bits (introduced with version 536870912) can signal multiple protocol changes at once. Just as the tenth digit in a VIN tells you the model year (e.g., “J” for 1988), a Bitcoin version number can tell you which upgrades are active. Bits 1-3: Reserved for version signaling format (for example, the top three bits set to 001 for soft fork signaling).Bits 4-32 can each represent a specific feature or soft fork proposal, meaning multiple upgrades can be signaled simultaneously within the same block version field.ConclusionIn both cases, as the products (Fords and Bitcoin blocks) became more complex, the identifiers also became more detailed. From simple model numbers like T and A (Max likes T & A) to VIN numbers, Bitcoin's version bits both allow for greater customization and finer control.Like how car manufacturers track and signal changes to its cars over time with VINs, Bitcoin uses block version numbers to ensure the network continues to evolve. Bitcoin is still Bitcoin, and a Ford is still a Ford regardless of the fact Henry Ford is dead, and Satoshi is not Craig Wright, or Adam Back, or Peter Todd.

Big news today (June 5) as the 5th circuit court of appeals VACATED the SEC's private fund adviser rule!! Go back and listen to Episode 21 if you want to waste your time hearing all the details of this now-defunct rule. Special Note: you may notice while listening to today's episode that I mistakenly refer listeners to Episode 29 for my full PFAR breakdown (I refer to “Episode 29” several times). Turns out, I'm even worse at math than I thought, because my PFAR episode is # 21; not 29…Rather than delay the episode and re-record, I'm alerting you here. Cuz everyone reads the show notes, obviously.Key Points From This Episode:What is Section 206(4) of the Advisers Act, and why does it NOT give the SEC authority to issue PFAR?What is Section 211(h) of the Advisers Act, and why does it NOT give the SEC authority to issue PFAR?What provisions of the Advisers Act DO give the SEC authority to issue PFAR? Hint: None.A little bragging about how prescient I was in Episode 21 (not episode 29). Disclaimer:This show is for informational purposes only. Nothing presented here constitutes legal advice.

I've shared a little about my own child's gender exploration. I even took some time away from the podcast to contemplate how to proceed since my own "daughter," who inspired this podcast and is now a senior in high school, no longer identifies as female. Where I landed is that whether my child identifies as a girl or not doesn't change how I feel about the importance of raising awareness about the female experience of being neurodivergent. I'm also hopeful that by being transparent and sharing our experiences navigating gender identity, it will be helpful to others who are going through a similar experience.

This week we finally look at Killers of the Flower Moon as we head into our wrap up of as many movies we didn't get to as possible before our Best of the Year list and our "Can't Win" Awards. Killers didn't really impress us, as is perhaps the case with several of the biggest titles this year, and we'll let you know exactly why. Also, in a bit of a strange move as we waste time when we have better things to do, we talk about the Oscar snubs and how I unfortunately caused them, or predicted them, or something. Finally, we're briefly revisiting The Night Agent and only because I mentioned it previously on the show after only watching three episodes.

As 2023 draws to an end, Mercedes shares a letter- for you and for any lady leader who lives into the both/ and - the beautiful and the messy- on the daily.    She also talks about pausing her podcast - at least in the traditional sense. She has been cooking up something that has the feel of our familiar social media hang-outs, but is away from the scroll, endless memes (although there might be some), and negativity. She is calling it -Into the Woods Hub. Come check it out here: intothewoods.mn.co    In this Christmas season, and beyond, Mercedes extends gratitude for being here with her, and all the other women leaning into living her unapologetic life.    See you inside the Into the Woods Hub!  ----  Her Unapologetic Life on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/groups/herunapologeticlife  Interested in The Unhurried Life Membership?

SPECIAL NOTE about our episode descriptions. We always include several (4 or 5?) discussion related images at the bottom of the description. Most players cut them off so you need to click on your episode to open up the mediaclub.plus page. Most players just let you click somewhere to do that automatically but I've linked it again for convinience. I'm making this note because this episode has many images and a couple of them are spoilers. There's a point where Dre mentions including links, and maybe that's when to check it out if you listen without watching but still care about spoilers Welcome to Media Club Plus: a podcast about diving into the media that interests us and the stories that excite us. As always we are brought to you by Friends at the Table. This season, we're watching 2011's Hunter x Hunter, based on the manga by Yoshihiro Togashi. In this episode we cover episodes 14-16, titled Hit x the x Target; Explosion x of x Deception; and Defeat x and x Disgrace. Next episode we will cover episodes 17 and 18, titled Traps x In The x Hole and Big x Time x Interview.

WE WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING! (Don't we?!) We will go to SPECIAL LENGTHS to search for SPECIAL REVELATION and have SPECIAL EXPERIENCES. Seems like a new concept… but this has been going on since the Garden of Eden. It seems like occultism only affects non-believers as non-believers typically WANT spirituality WITHOUT having to accept Jesus… but, nope, it doesn't only affect the world… it can creep into the church too. Join us as MANNY ELIAS, Special guest AND Cohost of The Rooted and Edified Show, helps us understand the who's, what's, where's, and the why's of occultism, in and out of the church. Find out what can take you or someone you know away from the occults. **Special Note from Kat Elias: I'm still working on the ins/outs of production and we ended up not being exactly in the center for the camera. Ay, ay, ay.

Subscribe, rate, review, & share! --- CCP Blog - Episode 9 How to Clear Emotions and Energetic Imprints from Heirloom Jewelry Have you ever received jewelry that was passed down through your family? Or, maybe an engagement ring given to you by your spouse? Or, diamonds from an estate sale? Or, jewelry from any old collection or with a mysterious history? Stones, crystals and gems pick up energetic imprints like emotions, beliefs, programs, conditioning and karmas from those who wear them. If you want to clear those imprints from your stone and go forward without extra baggage, this episode is for you. I'll share an easy ritual that will clear the imprints in your stone + the ones stone I use to do the clearings. It feels good to wear your jewelry free and clear of old energy! Jewelry has long been cherished not only for its aesthetic beauty but also for its deeper connection to emotions, beliefs, and memories. However, have you ever considered that the stones within your jewelry might carry energetic imprints from their past wearers? In this blog post, we're going to explore a powerful method for clearing these energetic imprints using hematite, a stone that holds a unique connection to the Earth's energy and our own ancestral ties. Unveiling Energetic Imprints: Jewelry can hold more than just physical beauty; it can also store emotions, beliefs, karma, and ancestral connections. Think of that heirloom ring passed down through generations or the necklace that once belonged to someone special. As we cherish these pieces, we unknowingly form bonds with them. In today's fast-paced world, understanding the significance of these connections is essential. Embracing Multidimensionality: Before diving into the process, it's important to shift our perspective. We are not just linear beings experiencing a linear existence; we are multidimensional beings engaged with lifetimes, timelines, realities, and dimensions beyond our current understanding. When working with stones, we're actually tapping into various layers of existence, carrying a tapestry of experiences and emotions. Hematite: A Portal to Transformation Enter hematite, the star of our clearing process. Hematite is much more than a stone; it's a conduit to the Earth's energy, a representation of source energy, and a holder of ancestral memories. Its magnetic properties allow it to connect with the Earth's magnetic field, making it a bridge between dimensions. The process begins by crafting a hematite circle. The number of hematite pieces you use carries significance—opt for 5, 8, 16, or 36 pieces to harness their unique energies. Placing the jewelry within this circle creates a portal, inviting the spirit of the Earth to engage in an energy exchange. With the circle established, call upon the Earth's spirit to assist in the clearing process. Request that the Earth clear the jewelry of any energies that are no longer needed—emotions, imprints, karmas, or conditioning. This is an opportunity to release attachments and make space for renewal. While the Earth is a master at clearing, it's also an expert at infusing positive energies. Invite the Earth to upload or charge the jewelry with energies that serve your highest good. This could include frequencies, codes, and blessings that you may not even know how to articulate. Trust the Timing The timing of this process is as individual as the experience itself. Tune into your intuition to decide how long the jewelry should remain within the hematite circle. Sometimes, what you need to hear might guide the duration, aligning with your personal growth journey. As you conclude the process, consider leaving a small offering as a token of gratitude to the Earth. This could be flowers, a drop of honey, or any symbolic gesture that resonates with you. Remember that this ritual is a mutual exchange of energy. Special Note for Opal and Pearl: Certain stones, like Opal and Pearl, are highly empathic and can easily absorb energy. If you possess jewelry with these stones, it's especially important to engage in this clearing process, allowing the stones to release any imprints they may have absorbed. Now equipped with this profound knowledge, consider sharing it with others. By raising awareness about the significance of clearing energetic imprints from jewelry, you empower individuals to forge stronger, healthier relationships with their cherished stones. Incorporating the practice of clearing energetic imprints from jewelry using hematite is an invitation to honor the intricate interplay between our multidimensional selves and the energy of the Earth. As you embark on this journey of transformation, you'll not only enhance your connection with your jewelry but also deepen your understanding of your own journey across lifetimes and dimensions.

A horse training program is a lot like a business franchise. A franchise is simply a proven system for success. Depending on how a franchise is managed, one will thrive and one will fail due to poor application of the system. The same is true in horse training. On this episode, I'm sharing some perspectives on the application of knowledge and a few examples of how small changes in application can create tremendously different results in your training program. A Special Note from Phil: Coming off of Mother's Day weekend, I wanted to dedicate the first part of this episode to all the moms out there who listen to this podcast. For those of you listening who may be overwhelmed by your challenges in the horse training world, remember that the most important job title you will ever have is “mom.” The lessons you teach and the memories you create will always be your most important contribution.

Because of this, I chose to conduct a survey of SaaS CEOs (who became owners/CEOs by way of the search fund model) for two reasons: (1) To better understand the complexion of the "typical" software acquisition within the search fund ecosystem; & (2) To see whether or not the the complexion of the "typical" software acquisition has changed over time. As you will see from the data presented in today's episode, I feel safe in concluding that, yes, the profile of the typical SaaS acquisition has indeed changed over the past few years, in some cases quite materially. Today's episode will walk you through how and why I arrived at this conclusion. *Special Note for today's episode*: Because this post is necessarily heavily on stats and graphs, I would strongly suggest viewing the blog post (as I can only verbally describe graphs so well!), which you can find at this link.

Special Note - this is a NON DDO show this week, Evil Beeker and I discuss the OGL controversy in a very long in depth conversation. So if you normaly only listen to the show for DDO news and talk, there is none this week, this is a D&D/RPG focused episode. As I said in the add-on at the start of the show, I did not get this show edited in a timely manner and was late in getting it released, the Hasbro/WOTC has stepped back on the OGL as of now, I talk about this. So keep in the mind, the conversation we had in the show, was BEFORE this news broke... I'm a horrible person and podcast producer and for that I am sorry..

Pamela Brinker can explain that there's no one size fits all for recovery. Every situation is different. However, Love and Kindness is needed for all addiction situations.  She's the author of the new book Conscious Bravery, Caring for Someone with Addiction. SPECIAL NOTE: about the seriousness of suicidal ideation. If a person is struggling with long-term or deep depression (aka major depression) & is fixated upon thoughts of, or plans around, suicide, they need more than self-love and support from others; they need mental health treatment and a safe, supportive environment. A skilled therapist is usually essential in supporting someone with major depression and suicidal ideation. This can be found in a variety of places, but if someone is considering taking their own life, we need to let them know we're here, they are loved, and that various treatments are essential to consider: ketamine treatment, TMS, medication, all with combined psychotherapy with a skilled therapist, the consideration of trauma treatment and/or somatic work, EMDR, neurofeedback, and other treatments have all been groundbreaking.Self-love and support from others are more for mild depression, or after a person who has passed through a suicidal phase into a place where basic supports for lifting a depression make sense (things like physical exercise, social interactions/support, hobbies or creative outlets, getting out to do fun things with others, etc.). https://bebrave.us/about-the-author/ ____________________________________NEWEST MUSIC - "HEADWATERS" - LISTEN:  Spotify / Apple / BandcampSOLSTICE LIVESTREAM - DEC 17th w/Peter Broderick!  on http://JourneySpace.com Join our COMMUNITY - sign up at EastForest.orgPlease support the show by joining our East Forest COUNCIL on Patreon.  Monthly Council, live-streams, demos, and more. JOURNEY SPACE - founded by East Forest.  Online Journey Facilitation and Support.

The internet has become the means of our day to day. There are great things on the internet, but it can also be a place of some scary things. This week Beth shares the tragic true crime story of the abduction and murder of 13 year old Kacie Woody. A young girl who trusted the wrong person on the internet. Then Bettina lightens things up a bit for the “paranormal” portion of the episode - telling us the story of Devil's Hole Cave as well as a few… random?... facts of Arkansas.

Georgia Grace Ritchie Wood is a professional ski coach, yoga instructor, poet, and podcaster from Australia. She currently resides in Woodstock, Vermont, USA. Ms. Wood was born with a kidney disorder that rendered her immune compromised. Her parents were advised that she would require kidney reconstruction surgery and should not engage in activities such as skiing or skydiving. Ms. Wood was also born with a passion to vanquish any and all limits and she developed an improbable passion for snow skiing. Her will to overcome all challenges resulted in an invitation to join the Australian Ski Team. Ms. Wood represented her country in several international competitions and traveled to North America to train for the Olympics. The rigors of international travel, Olympic level training, and North American ticks resulted in Ms. Wood suffering illnesses that rendered her bed bound. Unfortunately, a “devil inside of [her]” stole her Olympic dreams and a college scholarship. After several years of misdiagnosis, doctors discovered that Lyme disease was in fact the “devil inside” of Ms. Wood. Today, Ms. Wood is a ski instructor and international Lyme disease advocate. Her highly regarded podcast, Blooming with Lyme, had become a staple in the Lyme community genre. If you would like to learn more about the journey an international skiing champion took to overcome chronic illness to Bloom with Lyme, then tune in now! Special Note: in this episode Ms. Wood read her poem “The Devil Inside of Me”. See the poem below: There is a devil inside of me, I am his disguise. He's taking over, crept his way inside. Picking and pulling, punching and pounding Constant chatter, no good for the ears Only leaving me mad and in fear I've lost my way, being locked away The devil holds the key, Not quite sure I'll be able to break it free. Close my eyes I see the devil, Keep them open, and I'm left venerable. But worse of all, everyone else will see, What's really happening inside of me. Lack of control, now my current theme He's come in and ruined, every one of my scenes. Barely breathing, continuous aching “Stab me, slash me” now he's screaming! There is a devil inside of me, I am his disguise. Locked in a jail, visible only to me Sick and tired, no way to break free Stripping me of my dignity, repetitively Trying to drown him in both pills and potions But the funny thing is, he's just learnt to swim So why even bother when the devils just growing stronger? Barely breathing, lack of control He strikes again and oh so bold I'm trying to speak up, but in he cuts. Let me speak up, let me reach recovery There is a devil inside of me, I am his disguise. Someone please help me, someone please save me Cause these pills and potions aren't doing a thing Barely breathing, where'll he strike next? First to my family, friends you'll be up next. And slowly but surely, he'll bring them an end. Heart racing, head ponding He's constantly screaming “Slap me, stab me and finally shot me.” There is a devil inside of me, I am his disguise. No more is he just, that little side bloke He has taken over, sucking at all my hope Pills and potions, keeping him only entertained But sober him up and he's right back for more games I'm trying to push through but I'm not sure if I can cope. He's growing and expanding, and he's made me his permanent home Where have I gone? And where is this mysterious key? He's locked me away for no one else to see. There is a devil inside of me, though no more am I his disguise He has become me, and I have been locked deep, deep inside. I am not fighting myself, I am fighting a fight against that evil devil that's taken over my inside. -Georgia Wood, January 13, 2016

Due to a few family emergencies in Pastor Josh Brown's family, we do not have the remainder of the sermons for our series focused on Joseph. For the remaining sermons, please listen to the incredible work our Timberlake pastors have done.

What a time to be alive, huh? I say so with tongue firmly planted in my cheek because when crisis cycles like the one we're currently in arise, instinct often overrides my ability to analyze. I rush for the deep end with an overwhelming need to do everything, even as I realize I've stretched myself too thin to do anything. Raise your hand if you've been there; done that. Val Jencks, MS, LMFT, LCPC, gets it. In addition to spending nearly three decades mentoring new therapists and working with couples and families at her Chicago-based group practice, this self-described “serial volunteer” has also dedicated her life to advocating for people impacted by trauma, mental illness, and addiction. Oh, and btw, she's a stand-up legend who co-founded Laughing Matters In Chicago, a nonprofit that produces comedy events supporting young performers in recovery. But wait, there's more. Val's 2015 TEDx Talk “How to Rewrite History” is a message for anyone who has witnessed or survived youth abuse. But the beauty of Val's wisdom isn't in how she keeps all the balls in the air. Instead, those times when she's let the balls fall (because yeah, life) provide the most insight. Multiple crises have taught Val the importance of establishing a new orbit, mindful that her wellbeing (not to mention that of her family, colleagues, and clients) hangs in the balance. However, taking care of oneself is easier said than done, especially for entrepreneurs in the healing space. When crisis crashes into capitalism, a flood of self-serving propaganda follows, pressuring individuals to practice resilience amid the storm.  Post-traumatic growth doesn't come quickly; it reveals itself by inches or less. “I just am much more comfortable with myself. I'm less judgmental of myself.”  And less compelled to dive in head-first without checking her own vitals.  Special Note: For those interested in providing tangible support to LGBTQIA+ communities under threat in Texas and Florida, the following is a small list of vetted resources: Resources for Texas Trans Kids www.txtranskids.org www.transtexas.org/resources www.transequality.org/additional-help www.transhealthconsulting.com/mentalhealth Resources to Oppose Florida Don't Say Gay Bill Take Action via Equality Florida - http://eqfl.org/act Florida Coalition for Trans Liberation - www.fc4tl.org Safe School South Florida - http://safeschoolssouthflorida.org SAVE LGBTQ - www.save.lgbt GET CONNECTED Voicemail for 200th episode: https://speak-to.us/convoswithawoundedhealer Waiting List for Wounded Healers Virtual Group: https://tinyurl.com/WoundedHealerWaitlist GUEST BIO Val Jencks, MS, LMFT, LCPC, has spent nearly three decades working with couples and families in her Chicago practice, Prairie Family Therapy.
