Podcasts about Step Out

If you knew you had to hear 50 nos before getting to a yes, wouldn't you be excited to collect every single no?As the co-host of The Naked Room podcast, CEO of Hey Y'all!, and brand storyteller, Kelly Garthwaite has guided her career by a mindset defined by bold pivots, creative reinvention, and an unwavering commitment to her purpose. We first connected with Kelly through Entreprenista, and from the moment we met her, it was clear she isn't afraid to step outside the lines in pursuit of what truly lights her up.By trusting her instincts, embracing change, and staying connected to her "why," Kelly has navigated multiple career shifts while building a life and business aligned with her values. Whether she's behind the camera, behind the microphone, or helping brands tell meaningful stories, she continually follows the things that make her tick and refuses to lose sight of her North Star.In this episode of the Step Out of Line Podcast, "Never Lose Sight of Your North Star," we talk about entrepreneurship, storytelling, rejection, resilience, and the power of trusting your inner voice. Kelly shares why rejection is simply part of the journey, how unexpected pivots can lead to your greatest opportunities, and what it takes to keep moving toward the life you're meant to build.This conversation is a reminder that success isn't always a straight line, and that every no brings you one step closer to the right yes.

Send us Fan MailWe can all tell you the day and time our lives changed forever. We became mother less in different ways, but ALL of us have had our lives forever changed by our loss – our relationships, our functioning at work, the way we handle situations, run our households and perceive the world. Healing from the impact of loss is unique to every individual. Many times it involves a flurry of activity and accomplishment, However, there comes a time when you need to simply stand still. Stop! Get off the merry-go-round. Be in the moment. Take stock of your situation, reassess.  This podcast shares a few ideas on how to approach that journey.                                                                 ResourcesPodcast Episode highlights:                                                                                                    Monday Morning Ministry Moments - July 2020Want to learn more about the Journey Retreat?  https://www.motherlessdaughtersministry.com/events/the-journey-retreat-residential/Ministry offerings:                https://www.motherlessdaughtersministry.com/services/Ways to donate and give back:   https://www.motherlessdaughtersministry.com/giving/giving-back/  Motherless Daughters Ministry is a 501(c) (3) non-profit that depends on the generous support of donations from listeners like you.  To donate or sign up for our newsletter and more resources, visit out website at www.motherlessdaughtesministry.com  Support the showThanks for listening!

Step Out of the Boat | Matthew 14:22-33 | Trevor Cover

London 2012 may have broken many runners, but for Shannon Rowbury, it lit a fire that never went out.As an Olympic runner in what is now known as one of the most controversial women's 1500-meter finals of all time, Shannon refused to let that race define her. Instead, she used it as fuel, building a future that extends far beyond the track and field and into a legacy her children can be proud of. Today, Rowbury is an author, speaker, entrepreneur, sports commentator, and coach who believes there are no limits to what's possible. Alongside her husband, she co-founded the Imagining More Foundation and running camp, helping the next generation of athletes reimagine their competitive mindset. After co-authoring two books, building community in sport, and teaching leadership and team strategy in the corporate and educational world, Shannon had come to accept that the chance for a fair 2012 Olympic outcome had already passed. Then came the news: she will be awarded a medal at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles for her performance at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Sometimes, even years later, truth finds its way forward, and what was always deserved becomes a full-circle moment. Between now and the 2028 games, Shannon is determined to write her story through her own memoir and create a documentary alongside other creatives and fellow runners. We cannot wait to see where these next few years take her! In this episode of the Step Out of Line Podcast, “This Medalist's Mindset,” we explore the marathon mindset, motherhood, and the athletic journey, the importance of storytelling and sharing our truths, and more. Be sure to tune in!

From our series STEP OUT: Jonah was called by God to go to a people he didn't think deserved mercy. Instead of obeying, he ran in the opposite direction. But even in Jonah's rebellion, God pursued him and ‘swallowed him up’ in grace. God will complete his mission. The post Step Out of Parochialism appeared first on Plymouth Meeting Church.

In deze aflevering vertelt Daria Kenis hoe Step Out ontstond: zij wilde een jaar geleden alleen gaan backpacken door Vlaanderen en elke dag een slaapplek zoeken bij onbekenden. Haar ouders vonden het geen goed idee, dus Daria maakte een presentatie voor haar familie om uit te leggen hoe ze dat veilig zou aanpakken. Ze vertrok acht dagen lang, vond elke dag een slaapplek en deelde haar vlogs op TikTok. De video's sloegen massaal aan en legden de basis voor een bedrijf rond groepsreizen waarin je als onbekende wordt gematcht, daarna zes dagen op avontuur gaat en elke dag uit je comfortzone stapt. Step Out is een hybride concept tussen reizen, persoonlijke groei en ontmoeting. De doelgroep is vandaag vooral jongeren tussen achttien en vijfentwintig, maar Daria ziet nog veel meer potentieel: reizen voor grootouders, mensen in een andere levensfase, of nieuwe landen. Deze zomer organiseert ze dertien verschillende reizen in de Benelux en Duitsland. Een reis kost 450 euro per persoon, met uitsluiting van transport en hotel — want dat hoort net bij het concept: liften en slapen bij vreemden. Persoonlijkheidsmatching zorgt ervoor dat introverte en spontane deelnemers andere challenges krijgen. De vraag is groot. Twee weken na het openen van de zomerinschrijvingen had ze al honderden aanmeldingen. Ze ziet veel jongeren die vastzitten aan hun scherm en het moeilijker hebben om nieuwe vriendschappen te maken. Op Step Out-reizen ontstaan niet alleen blijvende vriendschappen — Daria leerde zelfs haar vriend er kennen op een van haar eerste expedities. Toch benadrukt ze: het is geen datingbureau. Ze wil vooral kwaliteit bewaken en alleen begeleiders meesturen die in dezelfde vibe geloven. Naast Step Out combineert Daria haar laatste studiejaar met content maken op meerdere TikTok-kanalen en het uitwerken van nieuwe concepten. Ze spreekt open over de druk van zichtbaarheid, over bang zijn om iets verkeerd te zeggen, en over de gezonde stress die haar scherp houdt. Haar droom? Step Out uitbouwen tot een schaalbaar internationaal model. Voor jongeren met ondernemerskriebels heeft ze één duidelijke boodschap: gewoon doen, springen, en weer rechtstaan wanneer je valt. Dat is, in haar ogen, wat CEO van je leven zijn écht betekent. Trends is een podcastkanaal van de redactie van https://www.trends.be--- --- Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Hello to you listening in San Luis Potosi City, Mexico! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. “What ever happened to stories of courageous perseverance in the face of impossible odds?” [A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles] They've been shoved aside by likes and Insta-acclaim that's all too easily found on so-called social media. Our lives are steered by uncertainties from the merely inconvenient to the life-altering disruptive. Stories abound in our life circumstances and yet we say, “Why bother with risking the courage to step out, to venture forth, to gather those stories despite the uncertainty?" I'll tell you why! We have a duty to discover and share our stories. For whom? For us! Telling our stories to ourselves helps us understand who we are, make sense of the circumstances of our lives, find meaning in “courageous perseverance in the face of impossible odds.“ You know what I'm talking about. What are you afraid of? Storytelling is about being brave enough, vulnerable enough, authentic enough to face our story, to share our story and if done well will invite our listeners to care. When we share our misfortunes with humor, confidence and ease we can lift others. “Each One Lift One” is the way we've been carried along so that we can do the same for someone else. When someone hears our story they feel hopeful, better. “What! You, too. I though I was the only one!” [C.S. Lewis]  Wow! She went through that and she's still standing. I'm not doing so bad after all. Believe it or not that's all it takes: one heartfelt story can change the course of history for a single life. Story Prompt: Think of a time when you were standing on the edge of something and you decided to face impossible odds. What happened then? Write that story & share it out loud! CTA: Want to learn? I can teach you!  You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us! You will have wonderful company as we continue to walk our lives together. AND!  Stop by my Quarter Moon Story Arts website during reconstruction, check out the Communication Services, email me [info@quartermoonstoryarts.net] to arrange a no-obligation Discovery Call, and stay current with me as Quarter Moon Story Arts on Substack.

Step Out: stories of obedience, faith, and adventure. In our first lesson, we will consider the call of Abram. The post Step Out On A Promise appeared first on Plymouth Meeting Church.

Alycia Anderson welcomes Peri Finkelstein: Emmy-winning marketing consultant, keynote speaker, recent TEDx speaker, marathon participant, and founder/CEO of the Team Peri Foundation. Peri explains how assistive communication evolved from Proloquo4Text to 11 Labs AI voice technology, helping her be understood on podcasts and stages despite bias and past bullying. She shares growing up with nemaline rod myopathy, navigating surgeries, pain, fatigue, and a nontraditional childhood, and credits her mom as her primary support and collaborator. Peri describes how her May 2025 TEDx talk sparked a new commitment to vulnerable storytelling through Substack and a memoir. She also details the foundation's scholarship and Peri Project, which provides caregiver kits in pediatric ICUs and plans hospital expansion through 2026. She closes with motivation to embrace differences, find what you love, and create your own path. The Entrepreneurial Throughline

“If you don't see it, you can't dream it, and if you can't dream it, you can't be it.” ~ Lawrence Carter-LongDrafted into being a poster child at five, Lawrence soon realized walking was overrated and that making spaces accessible for everyone mattered more. What began as a six-month film screening in New York City featuring disability films led Lawrence to the ReelAbilities Film Festival movement.The industry either chooses to “deal with” disability or avoids it altogether. Peri experienced this while seeking an agent and publisher for her book, ultimately signing with a hybrid company whose inclusive values drew her in. She wanted to be accepted for who she is, not found lacking for who she isn't.ReelAbilities views disability through a kaleidoscopic lens, where those who write, create, produce, and film these stories are seen in full.  Too often, disability narratives are framed as heroic, tragic, or “inspiring” for simply existing. This festival flips the script, showcasing the full spectrum of the disability community.In this episode of the Step Out of Line Podcast, “Only By Breaking the Rules Can You Create New Ones,” we explore disability in the arts, the barriers to inclusion, and why stepping out of line is second nature and necessary. Tune in!For more information, visit reelabilities.org. This year's festival runs April 23–30, with many films available to stream afterward.

After Easter: What Do You Do With the Empty Tomb? In the week after Easter and spring break, Jeremy welcomes attendees, highlights over a thousand people at last weekend's packed Easter services, shares upcoming events and giving options, and then asks what happens “after the moment” of celebration. Using personal stories, he compares post-event letdowns to life after Easter and argues the resurrection must move from a remembered experience to a lived reality. He notes the disciples initially hid behind locked doors in fear (John 20), but Jesus met them with peace, then purpose, sending them out with the Holy Spirit. He emphasizes believers are called to be witnesses, not perfect, and offers four practical responses: live differently as a new creation, love one another as the clearest evidence of faith, live on mission in everyday life, and build the church through community, generosity, and engagement beyond attendance. 00:00 Welcome and Updates 01:03 After the Moment 01:32 Life After Highs 04:30 Easter to Everyday 06:49 Disciples Behind Locked Doors 10:15 Peace Before Purpose 14:01 Sent as Witnesses 16:47 Witnessing Made Practical 19:54 Four Ways to Live It 21:19 Resurrection Changes You 22:44 Love Proves Discipleship 24:23 Loving in a Divided World 26:03 Mission Where You Are 28:44 Everyday Witness Moments 30:21 Build the Church Together 34:55 Step Out of Comfort 38:01 What Will You Do 40:29 Prayer for Peace Purpose

Elizabeth Mehditach is a living example of what it means to serve your dreams. A survivor of domestic violence, her values as a mother, teacher, and chef are grounded in truth and conviction. When she needed to protect her children, she did whatever it took. We are all stardust (credit to Neil deGrasse Tyson). It's a miracle we're here, so we must make the most of our circumstances, move past trauma, and keep going.This entreprenista (a Women Founders Network) calls herself a cockeyed optimist whose glass is always more than full. She keeps a backup plan for her backup plan, pivots when things go south, and thinks ahead, bringing that same mindset to her children.In this episode of the Step Out of Line Podcast, “We ARE Stardust,” we explore trauma related to domestic violence, the importance of women standing up for themselves and their beliefs, and the mindset shifts that helped her rebuild her life, protect her family, and move forward with purpose.

Step Out of the Boat by The Petra Ministries Bangalore

Time to Get Out of the BoatHost Darryl Anderson urges listeners to “get out of the boat” by taking faith-filled steps at what feels like the worst possible time, applying the idea to marriage, family, business, nonprofits, and ministry. Using Matthew 14:22 and the account of Jesus walking on water in the fourth watch of the night, he explains that God can create and stop the storm and that Peter walked on water by responding to Jesus' one word, “Come,” but sank when he focused on the waves. Anderson argues that trials can be tests preparing for a launch and that stepping out often happens without all resources in place, requiring trust in God.00:00 Step Out the Boat01:21 Why Now Feels Wrong03:11 Safety Versus Growth04:49 God Tests Your Faith06:18 Provision Needs Pressure08:05 Peter Walks on Water10:26 Why Peter Sank13:19 Your Next Faith Step14:13 Man Cave Invitation15:41 More Boats Ahead17:09 Built to Compete20:48 Bigger Vision Impact22:41 Will Jesus Let You Drown23:56 Final Invite and WrapShow is Recorded, Edited and Produced by Darryl D Anderson of Ambassador Media GroupVoiceOvers by Christopher BellIntro Theme Song Edited by Darryl Anderson (AMG) and Mixed by Damion Hill of E-Mix OnlineVISIT OUR WEBSITE for Man2Man 360PLEASE SUBSCRIBE YouTube Page: youtube.com/@man2man360Facebook Page:  Facebook.com/Man2Man360Podcasts drop every Saturday at 9am EST.Full Episode Youtube drops every Saturday 8PM ESTLicensed to use song:Tough Kid https://www.premiumbeat.com/royalty-free-tracks/tough-kidIt's Raining Againhttps://www.premiumbeat.com/royalty-free-tracks/it-s-raining-againSFX - https://musicradiocreative.com/Try our NEW Fan Mail experience and send us a Text Message from HERE!

They discuss the importance of ideas, the impact of labels, and the necessity of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. Merry Carole shares insights from her book, The Great Human Rebrand, emphasizing the need for leaders to recognize and nurture the unique potential of individuals within organizations. The dialogue also touches on the challenges of navigating change, the role of self-expression, and the future of business in an AI-driven world.  Takeaways Everything begins as an idea before it takes physical form. Labels can be useful but also problematic in human connection. Diversity and inclusion are essential for a thriving workplace. Leadership should focus on individuality and personal growth. Self-expression is crucial for fulfillment in work and life. Understanding one's value is key to success in business. Empathy and compassion are vital in connecting with customers. A unified culture enhances collaboration and growth. Scaling a business requires developing its people, not just increasing demands. Labels can help identify roles but should not limit individual potential. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

"Take The Steps""Step Out"Proverbs 16:9

08/17/2025 Morning Service – “Step Out and Act” by Jon Kile. Ecclesiastes 11:1-6

Send us a textIn this powerful and inspiring episode, I sit with down with Pearland Firefighter Eddy Liceaga to unpack the incredible story behind Pearland's new slogan: "42 Seconds Can Change the World."Eddy recounts his October 2023 Mayday incident — a near-fatal entrapment that lasted just 42 seconds but changed his life forever. He shares the intense moments on the fireground, the split-second decisions, and the teamwork of three fellow firefighters whose rapid actions defied Mayday statistics and saved his life.From the life-or-death heat of that day to the lessons learned about training, preparation, and mindset, Eddy's story is a testament to why “muscle memory” from training is everything. His passion for the job, his message to “Step Up or Step Out,” and his unwavering dedication to his department will leave you fired up for the work we do and the brothers and sisters we do it with.If you need a reminder of why training matters, why the job matters, and why attitude is everything — this is an episode you can't miss.Email me at 3pointFirefighter@Gmail.ComCheck out our Facebook Page 3 point Firefighter Podcasthttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61560769894306YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAv_hMC8vxrurhIunXtaJXg3 PFF Merchhttps://3-point-firefighter.printify.me/products #JakeBarnes,#3Pointfirefighter

Even when we can't see it, God is always at work — in our lives, our struggles, and our future. In this powerful message rooted in John 5:17, we're reminded that just as the Father is working, so is Jesus. And so should we. Key Takeaways: Remember the Past, But Don't Dwell There (Philippians 3:13–14) – Let go of what's behind and press forward toward your calling in Christ. God Is Always Moving (Isaiah 43:19) – He's doing a new thing. Will you recognize it? Create Trail Markers, Not Monuments (Exodus 12:14) – Memorials help us remember God's faithfulness without getting stuck in the past. Step Out in Faith (Matthew 14:29) – Like Peter, when Jesus says “Come,” we step forward, trusting Him. This sermon will encourage you to stay in step with a God who is always moving — inviting us to follow Him forward in faith, not backward in regret.

How does a ghost writer get to the juiciest heart of their subject? Laura Zigman is the author of six novels and has ghostwritten and/or collaborated on multiple memoirs and non-fiction books. We have fun talking about writing with someone -- not about them -- and getting their voice right; the line between curiosity and nosiness; compassion, empathy, trust and asking questions with kindness; respecting boundaries; and the honor of hearing another's stories.

What if the marriage you fought to save was the very thing destroying you? In today's raw and courageous episode, Leslie sits down with Naghmeh Panahi, a woman many first heard about when she passionately advocated for the release of her husband, Pastor Saeed Abedini, imprisoned in Iran for his Christian faith. But behind the public story of courage and faith, Naghmeh was quietly suffering in a destructive and abusive marriage. Naghmeh shares for the first time some of the hidden truths behind her story—how culture, Christian teaching, trauma bonding, and spiritual confusion kept her trapped in abuse, and how God gently led her out of the rubble and into healing. Her story is not just about abuse; it's about redemption, truth, and discovering her worth as a cherished daughter of God. Whether you've questioned if your marriage is abusive, struggled to reconcile your faith with your suffering, or wondered if healing is even possible—this episode is for you.
