I Don't Have To Be Where I Planned To Be For God To Use MeSupport the show
Lee Harris, channeler, author, and intuitive guide, reveals that we are living through a prophesized period of unprecedented upheaval—where the dismantling of our old world runs parallel to a massive rise in human consciousness. The cyclone of world change is touching every corner of existence, and within this chaos, our soul's true work is to reclaim spiritual, human, and ecological power that has been systematically siphoned from us.From predicting the intensification of global unrest to explaining why the second half of 2026 will be "a bit more wild," Lee channels the Z's—his spirit guides—to expose the hidden dynamics at play. While geopolitical tensions, climate events, and the rise of darker energies create the backdrop of exhaustion and overwhelm, a simultaneous awakening is occurring: more people are having mystical experiences, ET encounters, and visitations from angels and departed loved ones than ever before.We explore the 800-year cycles reshaping civilization, the delicate dance between personal power and systemic control, and why the empath-narcissist dynamic is the central healing arc of our time. Lee shares his personal journey through inherited wounds, the eight areas of mastery that lead to true enlightenment, and why the real battle isn't out there—it's in the subconscious patterns we've carried since childhood, magnified now by the intensity of a world in transition.Will you use this time of dismantling to excavate the hidden blocks that have been steering your life from the shadows, or will you wait until external collapse forces your hand?___
When we're facing disappointment or challenge, it's easy to default to negative narratives about who we are inherently: I'm a failure. What's wrong with me? I never do anything right. This week, teacher Rich Fernandez invites a different perspective: When we shift from naming an existential trait (like, I must be a loser) to naming a temporary experiential state (like, I'm experiencing a setback that's discouraging), then we can actually return awareness and agency to ourselves and navigate a way through the challenge. Rich Fernandez has dedicated his career to building more purposeful, mindful, and high-performing workplaces. He is the former CEO of Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute (SIYLI), co-founded Wisdom Labs, and has also served in senior roles at eBay, J.P. Morgan Chase, and Bank of America. Currently, he is the Head of Executive Development at Gap, Inc. The transcription of this guided meditation will be online and in our app at Mindful.org next week. Stay curious, stay inspired.

Actor and rising country music artist Jet Jurgensmeyer joins the Braves Country Podcast to discuss his journey from starring in Ozark and Stranger Things to chasing his dream in country music. Jet shares stories about:
Redefining the Aging Process Nathalie Niddam shares that aging is an inevitable biological reality. Wealth and extensive testing cannot prevent the process entirely. The goal should be compressing decline to maintain function. This involves flattening the curve of aging intentionally. And also redefining the aging process. Nature Over Modern Technology Nature must serve as the primary foundation for health. Real food, sleep, and movement are just a few of the essential basics. Technology should only be added afterward to offset modern stress. It is this process of operations that ensures foundational wellness. The Algorithm and Mental Clarity Today, algorithms are built on a simple premise: draw out emotions.. Using apps that help limit social media can reveal this growing influence. Niddam has some suggestions to reset your relationship with your technology. For example, start the day phone-free. Resist the urge to launch those apps. Instead, enjoying simple and sustaining practices like breathwork have a proven ability to help regulate the nervous system effectively. Understanding the Peptide Landscape You have some options.There are bioregulators that help restore balance within the body systems. They are different from more workhorse peptides which are used for specific issues. What these peptides do is like restoring tread on a tire. They help maintain grip and function as we age. Know the Source of Your Products You need to be cautious when entering the world of peptides and other products and formulas. Many products available today lack proper quality control. Most people obtain these molecules from unreliable overseas sources. It is vital to know exactly who handles these products from start to finish. . Prioritizing Real Human Connection By our very nature as human beings, each of us has a responsibility to see and connect with other individuals. Our overreliance on technology has reduced personal interaction. Physical presence is a real antidote to the polarization seen online. Connection helps us all weather the storms of life together. In this podcast, you will discover How to compress the decline of aging effectively. Why nature must always precede health technology. The difference between bioregulators and workhorse peptides. Risks associated with unregulated peptide sourcing. The impact of nervous system regulation on decisions. Strategies for avoiding social media algorithms. The importance of prioritizing in-person human connection. EPISODE RESOURCES: WebsiteInstagram

In this episode of The Heart of Business, Mo Fathelbab sits down with Justin Ricklefs, founder and CEO of Guild Collective, to explore the entrepreneurial journey behind building a successful customer-first marketing agency. Justin shares how early ventures—including selling concert tickets in college and recovering from a costly $30,000 business mistake—taught him resilience, accountability, and the importance of learning from failure rather than avoiding it.Justin reflects on the pivotal moments that shaped his career, from navigating debt and difficult job transitions to launching Guild Collective with a clear mission: helping brands tell stories where the customer—not the company—is the hero. He explains why focusing on a defined niche, simplifying service offerings, and staying relentlessly customer-centered have been key drivers of the company's long-term success.The conversation also dives into the realities of leadership, including managing payroll anxiety, adapting to client changes, and recognizing when it's time to bring in complementary leadership. Justin discusses the impact of hiring an integrator COO, joining a CEO peer forum, and surrounding himself with trusted advisors who challenge his thinking and help him make better decisions.Throughout the episode, Justin emphasizes that sustainable leadership extends beyond business strategy. He shares how prioritizing family, cultivating strong support systems, and resisting the constant pressure to chase "what's next" have helped him build not only a stronger company, but a more fulfilling life. It's an honest conversation about resilience, purpose, and leading with both ambition and perspective.Please visit www.internationalfacilitatorsorganization.com to learn more about Mo Fathelbab and International Facilitators Organization (IFO), a leading provider of facilitators and related group facilitation services, providing training, certification, marketing services, education, and community for peer group facilitators at all stages of their career.

Kirstie Sneyd is an organizational psychologist, executive coach and the author of “Returning Well”, a practical, evidence-based guide for working parents and their managers. We were both at INSEAD together, and I have followed her career ever since – and am delighted now to bring some of her learnings to our audience.Our conversation starts with Kirstie's roots in consulting, and what drew her to organizational behaviour at INSEAD. The first glimmers of what made a job worthwhile though stemmed from much earlier, and a beachside holiday in Devon. A career in consulting evolved into one that focused on coaching executives to find their voice, retain visibility and, in some cases, return to the workplace after a period of absence.We speak about her book and the reception that it received, and the themes that Kirstie is now working on with her coaching clients. Many of these relate to coping with an increasingly heavy and complex cognitive load, as well as the pressure that social media creates in terms of comparisons to others. You can find Kirstie's book here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Returning-well-working-parents-managers/dp/3111618277 and more information about her coaching practice on her LinkedIn profile here: LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/kirstiesneydThis podcast is supported by Franklin Templeton and Alvine Capital.

This week we are getting nerdy as we explore one of the most fascinating and often overlooked aspects of Human Design: Perspective. As the world feels increasingly overwhelming and attention is pulled in countless directions, understanding your unique Perspective can help reduce mental anxiety, create healthier filters around information, and bring you back into alignment. We dive into the six Human Design Perspectives—Survival, Possibility, Power, Wanting, Probability, and Personal—and explain how each one offers a unique lens for observing the world. You'll learn why you're designed to focus on a specific aspect of life and how embracing your natural Perspective can help you feel more grounded, empowered, and mentally clear. Key Takeaways: Why mental overwhelm often comes from trying to see and process everything instead of honoring your natural Perspective. How your Perspective reveals the unique way your mind is designed to observe the world and offer valuable insights. How each of the six Perspectives has a specific area of genius—from seeing possibilities and probabilities to understanding power dynamics, survival needs, personal impact, and human fulfillment. Why understanding your Perspective can help you create healthier boundaries around media consumption and information overload. Why trusting the observations you're naturally designed to make can help reduce anxiety and allow you to contribute your unique wisdom to the collective.

When everything is shifting — a restructure, a board crisis, a project on the edge of collapse, or just the relentless uncertainty of leading a team through sustained change — the expectation is that you hold it together. You stay steady. You have the answers. But nobody tells you how. In this episode of Leading Women in Tech, Toni Collis builds out the adaptive leadership toolkit every senior leader needs for navigating a genuine crisis — not the kind of crisis leadership that sounds good in a conference keynote, but the practical, honest, unglamorous work of staying grounded when everything around you is shifting. This is not about eliminating the pressure. It is about developing the specific capabilities that let you remain clear, present, and effective within it. What's covered: Why crisis leadership is a trainable capability, not a personality trait — and why the unruffled leader you're comparing yourself to is a fiction The team-speed problem: why your team is not where you are emotionally, and what it actually means to meet people where they are Crisis communication as a leadership skill — not just a PR function. The specific language that calms, orients, and aligns your team when they're in crisis mode. And why you need to say it far more times than you think The internal dimension: staying grounded in yourself before you can hold space for anyone else Protecting decision quality when the stakes are highest — the difference between genuine urgency and anxiety-driven urgency The blame game, why a crisis is never the time to play it, and the story from early in Toni's career that has stayed with her ever since The isolation of senior leadership in a crisis — and the structural responses that make it manageable Related episodes: Episode 170 - Does it have to be lonely at the top?

There's always a lot going on in the world of AEC marketing.

Welcome back to Living Your Truth with Tavares.This is Season 11, Episode 3.Today we're talking about Humility.And I think humility is one of the most misunderstood qualities in today's world.Because people often confuse humility with weakness.But humility is not weakness.Humility is awareness.Humility is emotional intelligence.Humility is strength under control.A humble person doesn't think less of themselves.They simply don't need to think they're above everybody else.And in a culture where people constantly chase validation, attention, status, and image…Humility has become rare.But I truly believe humility is one of the foundations of growth.Because the moment you believe you know everything…you stop learning.The moment you believe you're above accountability…you stop evolving.And the moment ego controls your life…peace usually disappears.So today we're going to talk about humility.What it really means.Why it matters.How it impacts relationships, leadership, healing, and personal growth.And why some of the strongest people in the world are also the humblest.Tavares A Garrett Linkhttps://linktr.ee/tavaresagarrettAmazon Books by Tavares Allen Garretthttps://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B08778562HThe Body Synthesiswww.thebodysynthesis.com

When people find out that Cade Thompson signed a Nashville record contract at the age of just 18, they sometimes assume he's led a charmed life. But as many blessings as Cade has received over the course of his still-young music career, there have been setbacks and frustrations too. Fortunately, through prayer and the guidance of caring mentors, he's been able to learn valuable lessons from those challenges about faith, love, and staying grounded. Cade shares some of those lessons with Nate Dewberry in this week's episode, along with reflections on his upbringing in South Dakota, the inspiration behind a couple of his biggest hits, and what green room snacks he's powerless to resist.Segments/chapters0:00 Intro/Cade's early love of music1:26 Cade's rapid rise in the music industry—and a big setback5:26 The life rhythms and mentors that have kept Cade grounded11:19 A newly married man looks back at singlehood16:16 Cade talks about his latest single, “That's What the Cross Is For”21:06 Cade witnesses God working in the life of one of his young fans23:42 Looking ahead and looking back28:39 Cade's work with a youth group at a local church31:10 Closing thoughts (and favorite snacks)Find community, deepen your faith, join the brotherhood for free today at theredeemed.com/join.Visit The Redeemed's website for downloadable discussion question sets, show notes, inspirational articles, more resources, or to share your testimony.Join our Exclusive Newsletter: Signup today and be the first to get notified on upcoming podcasts and new resources!The Redeemed is an organization giving men from all backgrounds a supportive, judgment-free environment, grounded in Christian love without demanding participation in any faith tradition, where they can open up about their challenges, worries, and failures—and celebrate their triumphs over those struggles.Have a redemption story?

The world doesn't feel stable right now — and your nervous system knows it. Economic uncertainty, political chaos, global conflict: even if none of it is landing directly on your doorstep, it's landing in your body. You're more reactive than usual. Your sleep is off. You're scrolling more and resting less. You're doing fine — except that quietly, underneath it all, you're not.This episode is about how to stay grounded when the external world keeps shifting. Not through toxic positivity or pretending things are fine. Not through a five-step productivity system. Through something more honest: learning to anchor yourself in what's actually stable when almost nothing outside of you is.Today we're walking you through what groundedness actually means — and more importantly, what it feels like in a body that's been running on high alert. You'll leave this episode with a clearer understanding of why you feel so rattled right now, and a set of practices you can return to again and again when the news cycle, the economy, or life itself starts to spin.This is courage for the long haul. Let's practice it together.

In today's episode, Gina discusses how to navigate the information space of our often overwhelming world through deliberate news and information exposure regulation. Both extremes of being constantly connected and entirely disconnected with information about our world (via electronic media) are often untenable practices for most people.

I want to explore what it means to stay grounded amidst the chaos, without resorting to shutting down or completely disengaging from the world around us. In our previous discussion, we highlighted how internal negativity contributes to anxiety, but today, I'm widening the lens to examine the external factors contributing to this weight we often feel in our lives.We live in an age of constant connectivity, where the influx of information can feel overwhelming. Historically, people experienced heavy times, but the difference now is the relentless flow of news—conflict, uncertainty, and fear flood our feeds at all hours, straining our nervous systems. My aim is to reassure you that if you're feeling overwhelmed or anxious, it's a logical response to the environment. You're not alone, and it's vital to acknowledge the reality of our world while finding a healthy balance.Throughout the episode, I discuss two common extremes people fall into when faced with the weight of global issues: overexposure and avoidance. Overexposure—constantly checking news updates and social media—can lead to exhaustion and helplessness. Conversely, avoidance—ignoring world events and attempting to shut them out entirely—often results in disconnection and guilt. Many find themselves oscillating between these extremes, which complicates their emotional landscape. Here, I propose a middle path that allows for awareness and compassion toward the world while nurturing our own mental health.#anxiety, #nervoussystem, #mentalhealth, #wellness, #mindfulness, #stayinggrounded, #selfcare, #innerpeace, #stressrelief, #boundaries, #emotionalwellbeing, #anxietyrecovery, #meditation, #groundingexercises, #mentalclarity, #overwhelmed, #compassion, #resilience, #healthyliving, #personalgrowth, #anxietycoachespodcast, #ginaryan, #mentalhealthsupport, #grounded, #innerharmony, #emotionalhealth, #selfhealing, #stressmanagement, #mindsetmatters, #holistichealth, #digitalwellbeing, #mindfulmoment, #calmness, #wellbeingjourney, #mentalwellbeing, #overcominganxiety, #peacefulmind, #restoration, #selfpreservation, #stayingcentered #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Country artist Chris Lane joins Brooke Taylor on The Upload for a candid, faith-filled conversation about the unexpected injuries, detours, and divine redirection that shaped his life long before music stardom. Chris opens up about tearing his ACL in high school—and again in college—an experience that sidelined his dreams of playing sports but sparked a life-changing relationship with the Lord. What felt like devastation at the time became the quiet space God used to draw him close, heal his heart, and prepare him for a future he couldn’t yet see. Now a husband, dad, and touring musician, Chris shares honestly about this new season where his time feels “wrecked”—changing diapers at home, performing on the road, and fighting to keep Jesus at the center of it all. He talks about the conviction he feels to carve out time with God, how fatherhood has deepened his understanding of Christ’s love, and how marriage wasn’t even on his radar until he met his wife, Lauren. Their shared faith became the foundation of their relationship—especially significant given Lauren’s upbringing in Portland, one of the least churched major cities in America. Chris also gets real about navigating fame in an industry that can inflate the ego. He talks about praying for humility, wanting success but not at the cost of his walk with Christ, and the ways God is teaching him patience in every area of life.
