This is a conversation about the invisible emotional weight people carry into work every single day and what happens when someone finally makes space for it. I sat down with Courtney O'Brien (HR leader and community builder) to explore the hidden emotional world inside modern workplaces. We unpack psychological safety, anxiety, spirituality at work, powerful questions, collective healing, and why humanity may be the most overlooked leadership skill of our time. From fear of flying and nervous system regulation to AI companionship and emotional intelligence in corporate culture, this episode challenges the idea that professionalism requires disconnection from ourselves. Courtney shares why she believes work can become a spiritual teacher, how shame silently shapes human behavior, and the simple practices that help people reconnect to themselves—and each other.

From getting crystal clear on what I wanted from my next role, to over-preparing and over delivering in the job interview, to protecting my energy and focus, these are the exact steps that I used to land a fully remote, aligned job offer that was exactly what I was looking for as the next step in my career! I share both the strategy and the mindset that helped me implement these steps.

Do we really have a soul, and does believing in it change anything? Kris Land joins Dean Newlund to unpack four powerful questions that reveal why your deepest growth, purpose, and leadership may depend on how you answer. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Kris Land discuss: The emptiness that can follow early success without a sense of purpose The concept of soul consciousness and the human experience as a “game of life” How leaders can integrate spirituality and business in meaningful ways The idea of co-creation, karma, and personal responsibility in life outcomes Why forgetting and rediscovering purpose is part of growth and leadership Key Takeaways: Success without purpose can lead to emptiness, making deeper self-exploration essential. View life and leadership as a co-creative process shaped by choices, awareness, and responsibility. Embrace both the emotional and spiritual dimensions of the human experience to grow as a leader. Recognize that losing and rediscovering purpose is part of the journey toward clarity and fulfillment. "There's a lot more going on than we're told, and that we're told to believe.” — Kris Land About Kris Land: Kris Land is a best-selling author, entrepreneur, and transformational thought leader specializing in leadership development, conscious entrepreneurship, emotional intelligence, and purpose-driven innovation.

On today's episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I'm joined by Ariane de Bonvoisin (@arianedebonvoisin), author of Spirit Mama, to explore the deeper connection between the mind, body, and spirit in the fertility journey. Ariane shares her personal story from corporate success to navigating fertility challenges including miscarriage and IVF, and how it led her to redefine what it means to become a mother. We discuss the hidden emotional patterns like control, perfection, and self-judgment, and how awareness of these can create powerful shifts. We also dive into reconnecting with the body, trusting your inner voice, and cultivating a relationship with something greater than yourself. This conversation offers a more compassionate, holistic perspective for anyone feeling like something is missing from the conventional fertility approach. Key Takeaways: Fertility is not just physical; emotional and spiritual factors matter. Control, perfection, and self-judgment can block natural flow. Reconnecting with your body is essential for conception. Awareness and self-compassion create powerful internal shifts. Your relationship with life influences your fertility journey. There are many ways to "mother" beyond physical birth.

There's a version of career advice that's all hustle. Post more. Submit more. Network harder. And look, that stuff matters. But there's something most acting coaches don't talk about, and it might be the thing that's actually keeping you stuck. Your inner world runs your outer results. In this episode, Peter Pamela Rose goes deep on the spiritual side of building an acting career, not in a woo-woo, burn-a-candle way, but in a real, practical, what-do-you-do-on-a-Tuesday-morning way. Five points to cover. Let's get started. Start the Year with Intention, Not Panic A lot of actors kick off a new year in a quiet state of dread. Will I book anything? Will I get reps? Is it going to be like last year? Intention sounds different. It sounds like: this year I choose grounded confidence. I choose courage. I choose to show up. Intention sets the emotional weather of your year. You still do the practical work. But now it sits inside something that actually supports you. And if you don't claim the energy of your year, your fear will do it for you. Strengthen Your Muscle of Choice When you practice making conscious choices, small ones, daily ones, you start building real faith. Not just faith in the universe, but faith in yourself. Maryanne Williamson says every thought creates form on some level. That's not abstract. That's a daily practice. Ask for Guidance Like It's Part of Your Training You wouldn't skip a vocal warmup. So why treat spiritual support like an afterthought? Spend a few moments each day asking: show me the next right step. Help me see what I am not seeing. Over time the static quiets. Ideas start arriving. Trust the quiet nudges that don't make sense yet. That's usually where the next opening lives. Choose Courage Over Comparison Comparison drains your spiritual battery faster than almost anything else. When you scroll and compare, you forget you are on your own curriculum. Courage sounds like: I bless their journey and I stay on mine. The industry responds differently when you are not silently begging it to prove your worth. You cannot build your career and obsess about someone else's at the same time. Show Up with Grounded Energy Casting directors, directors, producers, they feel your energy long before they assess your resume. Meditation, journaling, prayer, whatever your practice is. It is not the extra. It is the continued practice. A steady inner life makes you harder to shake in the room and on tape. A grounded actor is an unforgettable actor. Enjoyed This Episode?

What if your home isn't just messy… but actually pulling you away from God's call? I know—that question stopped me in my tracks too. In this week's episode, I sit down with simplicity consultant Katie Sciba, and she helped me see something I honestly never connected before: the state of our space deeply affects the state of our soul. Here's another one: Are your possessions shaping you into a disciple… or slowly distracting you from becoming the one God made you to be? Katie has this gentle way of revealing the attachments we don't even realize we've made—the stuff we keep “just in case,” the clutter that drains us, the rooms that quietly stress us out before we take a single step inside. And she shows us how letting go isn't about losing anything… it's about creating the freedom to say a deeper yes to God. And maybe the biggest surprise: Could clearing your home be the key to hearing God more clearly? The more we talked, the more I realized: when our homes become places of peace, our hearts become places where God's voice doesn't have to fight so hard to be heard. This is practical, it's freeing, and honestly—it's beautifully Catholic. So if you're craving more peace, more clarity, more space to actually live the life God is calling you to… this episode is for you.

How many times have you attended the Annual Installation of Officers at a Masonic Lodge and wondered what it meant? When done with solemnity, it can have a profound impact on the people in attendance and the officers being installed.One of the masons officiating the ceremony reads the expectations of each officer and explains the meaning of the corresponding jewelBut could there be a more spiritual meaning behind this inauspicious occasion?And on the exercise side of things, we ask, "How many reps are enough reps?
The sermon centers on the necessity of cultivating a vibrant, personal relationship with the living God, emphasizing that the church is not merely a pillar of truth but a community of active spiritual engagement. Drawing from First Timothy 3:15, it underscores that genuine faith involves more than doctrinal accuracy—it requires humility, spiritual discipline, and intentional surrender to God, illustrated through biblical examples like Elijah's altar and the disciples' failed exorcism. The preacher calls the congregation to move beyond passive attendance, urging them to engage in practices such as prayer, fasting, and heartfelt worship as acts of spiritual sacrifice that draw God near. He warns against a religion reduced to external performance or cultural conformity, stressing that true transformation begins with a humble heart and a willingness to submit to God's work, even when it feels uncomfortable or unfamiliar. Ultimately, the message is a call to pursue intimacy with God, to live out spiritual fruit in daily life, and to recognize that authentic worship and spiritual power are not manufactured but invited through personal consecration and surrender.

Drawing from First Timothy 3:15, it underscores that genuine faith involves more than doctrinal accuracy—it requires humility, spiritual discipline, and intentional surrender to God, illustrated through biblical examples like Elijah's altar and the disciples' failed exorcism. The preacher calls the congregation to move beyond passive attendance, urging them to engage in practices such as prayer, fasting, and heartfelt worship as acts of spiritual sacrifice that draw God near. He warns against a religion reduced to external performance or cultural conformity, stressing that true transformation begins with a humble heart and a willingness to submit to God's work, even when it feels uncomfortable or unfamiliar. Ultimately, the message is a call to pursue intimacy with God, to live out spiritual fruit in daily life, and to recognize that authentic worship and spiritual power are not manufactured but invited through personal consecration and surrender.

What was meant to be a five-day trip to visit my daughter for her birthday in Thailand…turned into two very unforgettable weeks in foreign hospitals when Marley had yet another unexpected medical emergency. In this episode, Ryan and I share our experiences with Marley – from having the time of our lives on a tropical island with Marley, to the dreadful night it all went downhill and the hospitals became our hotel.Without giving it all away, I'll say this… God has a way of delivering incredible little gifts of light in hard and heavy circumstances. This trip was no exception. A thing that felt so scary to experience on the other side of the world turned into quite the experience full of bonding mother-daughter moments, inside jokes and laughter, and mind-blowing top-notch medical care from Bangkok.Bonus? If you ever want to REALLY get to know the person you are dating, have a family emergency 30 hours away that extends your trip while being stuck in a hospital room with them. Safe to say, Ryan passed with flying colors.In this episode, I share:Our entire medical experience in Thailand: hospitals visited, cost of care, insurance usedThe story behind it all – including how Marley is healingAll about our Thailand travels – Bangkok to Koh SamuiThe beautiful gifts of grace that we found along the waySome pretty sweet relationship lessons I'm learning from Ryan's kindnessWhy learning to let someone else lead changed everythingThe hidden strength that emerges when you're running on emptyIf this episode moved you, please like, comment, subscribe, and share.

Rich Sanders brings a remarkably unique perspective to the Uncommon Leader Podcast as both a pastor and successful entrepreneur. With his powerful motto—"The more we make, the more we give"—Sanders tackles the perceived tension between Christian values and business success, offering a refreshing framework that celebrates both hard work and generous giving as expressions of faith.Throughout our conversation, Sanders draws from his experience as a military veteran, business owner, and spiritual leader to illuminate how capitalism and Christianity can not only coexist but thrive together when properly aligned. He introduces the concept of "philanthropic capitalism" but takes it deeper, arguing that without genuine love for others, corporate giving risks becoming just another marketing strategy.One of the most memorable moments comes when Sanders shares a profound encounter with a homeless man who, despite having nothing by conventional standards, demonstrated extraordinary spiritual wealth through his complete trust in God's provision. This story challenges listeners to reconsider what true abundance really means in both business and life.For Christian business leaders navigating workplace dynamics, Sanders offers practical wisdom on leading by example rather than overt evangelism. "People will know you by your love," he explains, suggesting that authentic faith naturally shines through our actions, decisions, and treatment of others without requiring explicit religious language.Sanders also introduces his nonprofit initiative, Koinonia Mission, created to help Christians serve their communities outside traditional church frameworks. This project reflects his commitment to making faith-based service accessible to everyone, regardless of their relationship with organized religion.Whether you're a business professional seeking to integrate your faith more authentically in your work or simply curious about the intersection of spiritual and financial success, this conversation offers thoughtful insights on building a purposeful career that honors both profit and people. How might your business decisions change if you approached them through the lens of "the more we make, the more we give"?Connect with Rick: https://christiancapitalist.life/Thanks for listening in to the Uncommon Leader Podcast.
