Curb Records artist Stars Go Dim released its fourth studio set, Roses, last month, which includes the self-penned track “Your Song,” which is dedicated to the fans. In the new album, Stars Go Dim discovers faith in the crevices of daily life across its latest collection, years in the making. Co-producing for the first time, Chris Cleveland embraces the genuine joy that comes from a slower pace and a different point of view on Roses. Exploring his dynamic range across the project's 11 original selections, the top-shelf singer chases a retro sound marinated in the groove-heavy beats of the '70s. From the jangly piano intro of lead single “Mama Don't Lie (Alright)” to the nostalgic emotional pull of closing track “Good Days,” the fresh LP blossoms with the hope that God is always waiting to be found.While Cleveland carefully handpicked a few seasoned lyricists to help him bring Roses to life, he also intentionally chose to collaborate with a large pool of relatively unknown songwriters for the majority of the project, giving many of the writers represented in the credits their first career cut.Addiotionally, to celebrate the eagerly anticipated premiere of Roses, Stars Go Dim made its Grand Ole Opry debut. Stepping into the coveted circle for the first time, Cleveland was joined by a star-studded lineup.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Stepping inside an unassuming Pittsburgh garage the air feels heavy with history. Ferrari, Jaguar, Lamborghini, AC — names that shaped the language of speed - the names that defined eras of racing and excess — are lined up shoulder to shoulder, waiting patiently under covers like sleeping lions. It's a place that could easily feel like a museum. But it isn't. The heater hum, the bright lights, the smell of oil and gas — that all comes from a 21-year-old named Jacob Serbin. He is, in every sense of the word, a craftsman — one forged in grease, patience, and trial by fire. He is the conservator and mechanic of this wild collection owned by a man we will simply call Joey.

Most people wait for burnout, conflict, or disaster before ending something that's no longer in alignment. We've both done that in the past, pushing forward because things were “still going well,” even when a quiet inner voice was saying it was time to move on. But sometimes, the most life-giving move is to complete a chapter while there's still joy, ease, and connection in it. In this special final episode, we pull back the curtain on our decision to end the podcast, while it's still thriving. We explore why completion can be the most creative act of all. For us, it's been about endings without drama, the art of listening to our “inner advisor,” and the unexpected magic that unfolds when you step into the unknown with clarity and curiosity. We reflect on more than two years of deep, unfiltered dialogue, the guests who bared their hearts, and the body of work we've created together. We discuss how this podcast has captured many of our most important conversations, and why it now feels like a beautiful exhale, making space for what's next. Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Why we end things while they're still thriving What does it take to step away from something good, without fear, doubt, or regret—and trust that it's time to move on? -How to listen to your “inner advisor” What's the difference between a passing whim and the deep clarity that tells you to take a new path? -The power of letting go before burnout Why stopping while you're energized can be the most generous, creative choice you make. -Stepping into the unknown with wonder How clarity, curiosity, and trust can make the next chapter even more vibrant than the last.       About Your Hosts Katie Hendricks, Ph.D., BC-DMT, is a pioneer in body intelligence and conscious loving with over 40 years of experience.

THIS IS THE LIFE PODCAST Mat 14:28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. Mat 14:29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. Jesus said one word: Come. And Peter stepped out of the boat and walked on water. This wasn't a calm sea. The wind was still roaring, the waves were still high. But Peter wasn't focused on the storm—he was focused on the Savior. Music Compiled By: Mike Outland

God wants you to possess ALL the promises He has for you.He's not a God of little or minimal. He's a god of more than enough.John 10:10 TPTBut I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect —life in its fullness until you overflow!'We've been learning the steps the Israelites took, and that we must take, to step into. Our promise.

Bethany has seen a lot of change over all its years of ministry. Staff have come and gone for various reasons but in everything we always remember who we are and how far we have come. Even more so, we remember who He is and what He's done. Remembering how far we've come is worth celebrating. Remembering how good God is reminds us that He is worthy of our praise.Hebrews 12:1–2 (ESV)Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.Luke 5:1–11 (ESV)On one occasion, while the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret, and he saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat. And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.” And when they had done this, they enclosed a large number of fish, and their nets were breaking. They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.” For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken, and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.” And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.

In this powerful coaching session, Christine supports Tessa, a psychic medium navigating the challenges of fully owning her intuitive gifts after leaving a successful engineering career. While her spiritual sensitivity has deepened, she still struggles with confidence, financial consistency, and the fear of stepping fully into her calling. Christine helps Tessa uncover how early life choices for safety and belonging influenced her path, why money is a sacred energetic exchange, and how to embrace confidence without falling into imposter syndrome. This session is especially resonant for anyone who has felt torn between a “practical” career and their true soul path—or who has struggled with feeling “too sensitive” in a world that doesn't always honor intuitive gifts. If you've ever wrestled with worthiness, worried about what others think, or hesitated to fully embody your calling, this episode will encourage you to claim your gifts with reverence, confidence, and joy. Consider / Ask Yourself: Do you minimize your intuitive or spiritual gifts out of fear of judgment? Were you rewarded as a child more for achievement than creativity or sensitivity? Do you toggle between wanting safety (financial or social) and wanting to live your truth? Is your sensitivity something you see as a liability rather than a blessing? Key Insights and A-HAs: True confidence is radical self-acceptance, not arrogance. Sensitivity is not a liability—it's a sacred strength when embraced. Financial abundance can flow through spiritual work when we claim it as valid and worthy. Belonging and validation from old systems (titles, achievements) can hold us back from owning our deeper callings. Spiritual gifts don't have to come with a cost—you don't need to “pay penance” for being gifted. How to Deepen the Work: Reflect on any early decisions you made to “fit in” and how they may still shape your choices. Reframe your sensitivity as spiritual hygiene, not a burden. Write and repeat affirmations claiming your gifts as part of your life's is-ness (e.g., “I make an abundant living through my spiritual gifts”). Notice when imposter syndrome shows up and remind yourself that reverence and humility are different from self-doubt. Normalize taking breaks, grounding, and nervous system care without making it a “big deal.” Upcoming Events: Christine's Women's Retreat is happening October 17–19, 2025. This immersive experience is designed to help you step out of your head, into your body, and reclaim your intuitive power. By the end of the retreat, women report profound clarity, spiritual awakenings, and a deep reconnection to their inner wisdom.

Stepping through the doors of New Beginnings, single mothers find more than just shelter—they discover family. Case Manager Ruth Westfall shares her passionate journey of guiding these women from survival mode to stability through a comprehensive five-year program designed to break cycles of generational poverty."Every single girl is a success," Ruth explains, describing how each resident receives God's Word regardless of how long they stay. With daily devotions, weekly church attendance, and constant conversations about grace and forgiveness, faith forms the foundation of a program that transforms lives through six essential pillars: faith, parenting skills, education, vocation, personal development, and social skills.The challenges are immense. Most residents arrive having never experienced trustworthy relationships, sleeping on floors with cockroaches crawling over them while pregnant, and developing survival mechanisms that initially make building trust difficult. Yet through patience, structure, and genuine love, Ruth and her team help these women recalibrate their lives. "These things that they have grown up with for years don't take just days," she notes. "It's years to break those cycles."Success stories abound—graduates finding well-paying careers in IT, welding, and cybersecurity. But perhaps the most touching transformation is when a resident who initially responds with skepticism to expressions of love eventually whispers back "I love you too." These relationships continue even after residents leave, providing the supportive family many never had.New Beginnings now hopes to expand their impact through their Heart Campaign, raising funds for a new facility that will allow them to serve mothers with multiple children. Learn how you can help break the cycle of generational poverty and give these families a fresh start at homeformothers.com.Support the showFind strength and courage in your faith at this year's FEARLESS FAITH Conference.

Bob Sagers has portrayed men from the scriptures in many contexts. He portrays them in paintings and films. Through religious creative projects, he's had the opportunity to step into the lives of Jesus Christ, His apostles and common people who witnessed Christ's miracles.

Click/tap here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. Jesus began his public ministry with a clear and urgent message, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near” (Matthew 4:17). The kingdom is not distant—it is God's reign breaking into the world through Jesus. When we pray, “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,” we are aligning our lives with his mission. Jesus' ministry of teaching, preaching, and healing shows that God's kingdom is holistic—addressing spiritual as well as physical needs. As his church, we are called to embody that same mission, praying for and working toward God's will in our lives, our church, and our city. To pray “Thy kingdom come” is to offer ourselves as God's hands and feet. Much like the first disciples, we are invited to step out in faith and step into the story, joining his transforming work in the world around us. In the year ahead, may we be a people devoted to seeking God's will and living on mission.

God wants you to possess ALL the promises He has for you.He's not a God of little or minimal. He's a god of more than enough.John 10:10 TPTBut I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect —life in its fullness until you overflow!'Joshua was now leading the Israelites, and God told him it was time to get up, be courageous, and to take the Promised Land!We've been learning the steps they took, and that we must take, to step into. Our promise.

As the Holy Spirit gives us the instructions and equipment to follow him on the trail of life, we must trust him enough to step out of our comfort zone to answer the challenges He calls us to.

“Being brave enough to suck at sales for the next month, two months, three months, six months, year, is what's gonna have your business go from tragic to magic in the most uncommon of hours.”  Stepping into something new isn't about instant mastery—it's about embracing the messy, awkward, and uncomfortable first stages of learning. Growth happens when you push past the safety of what you know, take on challenges that stretch your skills, and keep showing up despite early failures. Progress is built on consistency, courage, and the willingness to look bad before you get good.  This is the power of “being brave enough to suck at something new,” especially when it comes to sales. Whether you're a coach, consultant, or thought leader, avoiding the discomfort of new skills keeps you stuck on the same plateau. By committing to imperfect action, embracing the “suck,” and building momentum, you can go from struggling to closing deals with confidence and mastery.  Visit https://www.eCircleAcademy.com and book a success call with Nicky to take your practice to the next level. 

Welcome back to Snafu with Robin Zander. In this episode, I'm joined by Bree Groff, consultant, writer, and author of Today Was Fun. We talk about why mischief belongs at work, how humor and flirtation create real psychological safety, and the bold design choices behind her unforgettable book cover. Bree shares how she moved from CEO roles to full creative freedom, and how that shift helped her find her voice. We discuss marketing in 2025, how AI might reshape work and writing, and why personal agency, not hours, is the most important lever in a workweek.  Bree offers practical insights for leading with joy, helping kids future-proof their lives, and deciding what's “enough” in a world that always demands more. She also reflects on writing the book while parenting, consulting, and building her own business, and what it means to embrace the joy of not knowing what comes next. Bree will also be joining us live at Responsive Conference 2025, and I'm thrilled for you to hear her on stage. If you haven't gotten your tickets yet, get them here.

When she first saw it (at 3 a.m.), she gasped and loved it — it stood out and made a statement. The smiley is cheeky but not cheesy; it suggests optimism with a bite. The color isn't quite yellow — it's that “gross green” that almost hurts to look at. That tension is the point. “It's got some edge... not your straight-up yellow.” This tension – bright and fun, but just a bit weird or off –  is exactly the tone she wanted for the book and for herself. The Wink That Makes Work Fun Again (01:51) Robin brings up his old graduation photo: he posed slightly off-center, adding a knowing smirk. At the time, he didn't know why he chose that shot, but later realized it made people curious, like a small rebellion baked into something formal. Bree relates completely. She talks about: Why humor and a bit of mischief matter in professional settings. The concept of flirtation – not romantic, but playful: A wink in a branding campaign. A reference that only a few insiders get. A running joke between team members. Mischief creates risk and intimacy, both essential for real connection. These small acts of rebellion are actually signs of psychological safety and creativity. “You need a little bit of flirtation at work... a wink that says, ‘we're in this together.'” She argues that fun isn't a distraction – it's a sign that something is working. Tricksters, SNAFUs, and the Role of Risk in Work (05:49.219) Robin brings in the idea of the trickster, from folklore characters like Anansi and Coyote to his podcast title SNAFU. These figures don't follow the rules, and that's what makes them interesting. Bree expands on the connection between play and professionalism: There's a cultural script that says “seriousness = competence.” But in her experience, some of the best work moments involve play, risk, and even slight embarrassment. Being human together – laughing too loud, saying something weird, trying something bold – is what builds bonds. Real joy at work comes from these edge moments, not the sanitized ones. “You have to go beyond professionalism to access the most fun parts of work.” They agree that creating spaces where people can color outside the lines is not just fun – it's productive. Beyond Palatable: From People-Pleasing to Belonging (08:29.068) Robin shares a lesson from his mother: that once you leave high school, life is no longer a popularity contest. But he's realized that in business, especially branding, people often still chase approval and “likability.” Bree offers a deeper lens: Being “palatable” – meaning universally acceptable – is actually the opposite of being memorable. People who try to please everyone end up blending in. What she wants is to be delicious, or at least striking, not for everyone, but unforgettable to some. She draws a line between Fitting in: performing a version of yourself to meet social norms. Belonging: being your full, vibrant self and finding others who welcome it. “Please don't chew me up. I'm not palatable — I'm not trying to be.” This philosophy shows up in her book's voice, design, and in how she shows up in the world. Selling a Book in 2025: Bottles in the Ocean (12:21.838) What's it been like trying to promote a book in 2025? Bree describes her strategy as both scrappy and intuitive: She thinks of book marketing as sending “a million notes in bottles” – not knowing which will land. Her approach includes: Partnering with a publicist. Creating swag kits with branded gear. Pitching the book to “chatty” communities (e.g., alumni groups, newsletters, podcast audiences). Posting regularly, even when it feels silly. She cites the idea of “luck surface area”: the more interesting things you do, and the more people you tell, the more chances something will stick. “You do interesting things and talk about them a lot... and maybe something takes off.” Still, she acknowledges that luck plays a role. There's no guaranteed playbook, just momentum and hope. Is It Worth Talking About? (14:47.63) Robin references a quote from Tucker Max: that all marketing, in the end, is just word-of-mouth. Bree shares what guided her during the writing process: Her goal was to create something remarkable — in the literal sense: Something people would want to talk about. Not just good – but distinct, resonant, and weird enough to share. She wanted to avoid the “business book voice” – flat, generic, overly polished. She lights up when she talks about: Strangers sharing the book on social. Friends are texting her about it. An old college boyfriend resurfaced after reading it. “When that starts happening... You realize the machine is working.” She's less interested in best-seller lists and more focused on impact – ideas spreading from person to person, because they hit. Finding Her Voice: From Blogger to Book Author (16:36.665) Bree traces the evolution of her writing life: Started a travel blog in her early 20s and loved it immediately. Played with writing publicly over the years: occasional posts on LinkedIn, Fast Company, and later Substack (which began two years ago, alongside early book ideation). Writing always felt natural, but being a public voice within organizations came with constraints: “Even when I was CEO, I still felt the need to toe the party line.” Going solo changed everything: No longer represents a company's brand – just her own. Writing feels more honest, bolder, and more fun when it's “Bree Groff's opinions” alone. Stepping out independently accelerated her writing voice and gave her creative freedom. Writing in the Age of AI (18:19.63) Robin asks: Does writing still matter in the world of AI? Bree's take: She's a verbal processor — writing is how she discovers what she believes. “I never know how an article is going to end… I write my way into the idea.” She rarely uses AI in writing (aside from Grammarly). She prefers human composition even for emails. Writing helps her organize and refine her thinking: “I'll write a sentence and go – wait, do I believe that? And rewrite.” What writing offers that AI can't (yet): Emotional authenticity. A confessional power — like stand-up comedy: humans telling uncomfortable truths, out loud. She hopes we'll someday have digital labels like: “This was made by a human.” Robin presses for Bree's take on what AI changes – for better or worse. Bree's pessimistic view: Mass unemployment is a likely risk. Not convinced by the “tech creates more jobs” argument – even referencing Jevons Paradox: as things become more efficient, we just use more of them. “I can't quite think my way out of the unemployment problem.” Bree's optimistic vision: We're burned out. AI could fix that. If used right, AI can reduce workloads, not eliminate humans: “Wouldn't it be great if we used these efficiencies to help people live happy, regulated lives?” This would require a policy change, like tax incentives for companies that adopt a 4-day workweek. But she admits: that's a long shot. “It would take a lot for companies to prioritize reducing burnout over cutting costs.” Entrepreneurship Isn't a 4-Day Workweek (And That's Okay) (25:04.686) Robin challenges Bree's hope with reality: Entrepreneurship is chaotic and demanding, as when he launched both a restaurant and a conference in one year. When building something from scratch, the work is relentless. “There's no 4-day workweek when you're going zero to one.” He notes Bree's book could become a “perennial seller,” but only if she builds that momentum now — and that means hustle. Bree agrees — and offers nuance: She's in a launch phase. The last 6 weeks have been intense: Nights, weekends, articles, appearances. Her daughter is in a full-day camp to support this push. But it's intentional and temporary. She frames her philosophy like this: Overwork can be fun, energizing, even addictive –  if it's seasonal. She's already planned recovery: A two-week log-off in late August. A blocked-out first week of September for reset. Bree continues on the myth of “reasonable” work limits: There's nothing special about 40 or 60 hours. The only reason we cap out is that we literally run out of time. Businesses will take as much as you give, and now AI won't hit those limits. So we have to decide what's enough, not the market. “If we're going to cap work somewhere, why not cap it lower and enjoy our lives?” She reminds us: Deadlines and pace are levers, not laws. You can pull other levers, like starting earlier, extending timelines, or balancing your team differently. Robin shares that his intense physical regimen (handstands, running, cold plunges, hikes) isn't about health prescriptions — it's about joy. That same mindset applies to work. If building his company lights him up, great – but it's a personal choice, not a universal blueprint. Bree underscores that agency is key: the danger arises when a founder's choice to overwork becomes the cultural expectation for everyone else. A CEO has different stakes than employees; assuming equal sacrifice is unfair and toxic. Overwork becomes problematic when choice is removed or social pressure distorts it. They introduce the idea of opportunity cost: Every hour spent grinding is an hour not spent with loved ones, moving your body, or simply resting. Many delay self-care with the illusion they'll "catch up later" – but your body and relationships exist in the now. Robin recalls a brutal 2016: two startups, no time, lost relationships – a visceral reminder that everything has a cost. Work, But Make It Weird (36:39) Robin draws a parallel between their playful ethos and The 4-Hour Workweek: redefining productivity with mischief and authenticity. He asks Bree how leaders can lead differently – more playfully – without violating norms or HR policies. Bree delivers a gem: Her team once suggested that a CEO explain their product to a bunch of 7-year-olds on a picnic blanket. They scripted techy questions ("What's your tech stack?") for the kids, hired a comedy consultant, and filmed the whole thing. It was wild, unexpected… and the most beloved part of an otherwise traditional company week. The magic was in the vulnerability and humanity of the CEO — letting people into his home, sharing space with kids, and showing joy. Bree's advice to leaders: Rearrange the office furniture for no reason. Use Comic Sans in a slide just to annoy a designer. Hide jokes in presentations that only two people will catch. Amuse yourself. That's reason enough, and it models psychological safety and play for everyone else. Robin calls this “the courage to play” – the bravery to step out of line just enough to invite others into the fun. Bree builds on this: We're often afraid that having fun will make us look stupid – but that fear is misplaced. She quotes Amy Poehler: “Nobody looks stupid when they're having fun.” Play is an act of self-assurance, not frivolity. Bree shares a personal win: she turned a project Gantt chart into a hand-drawn arcade-style horse race. No one else joined in, but she loved it. And that joy, in and of itself, is a worthy output. Work According to a 10-Year-Old (42:21.176) Robin asks: How does Bree's daughter describe what she does? Her answer? “You help people work together.” Bree beams — that's not far off. Her daughter has even become her little publicist, linking nail polish to Bree's book and promoting it to strangers. Robin dreams of having kids and wonders about their future in a rapidly evolving world. Bree is grateful her daughter is 10, not 22 – the future feels so uncertain that not knowing is oddly freeing. College may or may not matter; she might be a marketing manager or start an artist retreat in Tuscany. The one stable prediction? Human connection. Jobs built on empathy, presence, and the hug – literal or metaphorical – will always have value. Robin jokes (but not really) about resisting the idea of robot romantic partners. Bree wonders: Will we be seen as biased for resisting AI companionship? Is that the next generational tension? The Only Skill That Might Still Matter in 2040 (43:55.959) Robin asks: What durable skills should Gen Alpha learn in a world of AI and noise? Bree's first thought: “understanding human behavior” — but AI might already be better at that. So she lands on something deeper: The skill of knowing what kind of life you want to lead. It's rarely taught, and sorely needed. That's why so many people wake up at 40, mid-career, with a law degree but no love for the law, and end up switching to something that finally feels like them. Teaching kids to listen to their appetites and curiosities might be the most powerful, future-proof education we can offer. Bree argues that most people were never taught to ask foundational questions about the life they truly want: From childhood to college, we follow preset tracks – curriculum, majors, careers. If you're lucky, you get an elective or two. But real self-inquiry? Rare. We're missing education on key lifestyle preferences: What kind of schedule do I like? What kind of people energize me? Do I want to live in a city or near nature? How much solitude, structure, or chaos is ideal for me? Bree believes this underdeveloped self-awareness is the root cause of burnout: People follow “the path,” get promoted, tick boxes, and still feel unsatisfied. Companies gladly fill the vacuum with corporate ladders and titles – senior director, VP, etc. But we rarely stop to ask: Do I want my boss's job? Her hope for her daughter: not just career success, but aliveness. To develop the instincts and courage to ask: What do I want to get out of my short time here? And to find joy in helping others experience a bit more light while they're here, too. “Who Are You and What Is Your Purpose?” (51:33.666) Robin shares a surprising memory: a third-grade class titled Who Are You and What Is Your Purpose? He doesn't remember the content – school was tough for him then – but the title stuck. It captured something real and deep that still resonates. Bree lights up: “Okay, I take it all back – someone was teaching this, and it was you!” They land on a core truth: that mischief, self-knowledge, and authenticity are deeply intertwined. Knowing who you are is the first step. And honoring the weird, playful part of yourself makes life better — and work richer. Order, Chaos & a Trello Board (53:51) Robin pivots: What did Bree learn about writing through this book, especially while juggling parenting and client work? Bree shares her full process: She started with a Trello board: each list represented a chapter. Over many months, she collected bits of inspiration: ideas from the shower, great quotes, Substack entries, research snippets – all filed as cards. This meant when it came time to write, she wasn't starting from scratch. Her trick: separate idea collection from prose creation. Once she had a "pile of disorganized meat," she could stitch it together with intention. She scheduled 4-hour blocks to write ~1,000 words per session – 50 sessions = a 50,000-word book. She was thoughtful about pacing and reader experience: "That was a heavy part – maybe time for a joke. "I've been light for a while – maybe we need some grounding research." The outcome: a process that respected her creativity, time, and humanity. The Joy of Not Knowing What's Next (54:45.848) Robin asks: Now that the book is out, what's next? Bree doesn't know, and that feels exciting. She's booked through the fall with workshops, consulting, media, and speaking. But beyond that? It's open. She's leaning into serendipity: Publishing the book drew new, inspiring people into her life – people like Robin. She's open to building the classic “author-speaker-consultant” portfolio. Or possibly returning to SYPartners, depending on what fits. Or a totally new path. What makes it possible? A jumpy career history – she's used to leaps. A baseline of financial stability – and a partner with a more predictable job. Uncertainty isn't terrifying when you trust yourself to figure it out. “I can see through October. That's enough.” Robin wraps with heartfelt praise: Few first books feel as personal and reflective of their author as Today Was Fun. Even fewer come with so many shared connections vouching not just for the content, but the author herself. Where to Find Bree Groff (58:13.58) He urges people to read the book and see Bree on stage at the Responsive Conference (Sept 17–18).

BYKE ON BS ONCE AGAINNNNNNN!!!!!! Wop and Dj are forced and I mean FORCED to break down the Sha Carri Richardson airport DV situation. Normally we would just give a quick "thoughts and prayers" to all that have been impacted but the weaponizing of femininity hit the guys kind of hard so we had to lend our voices to the cause. Dj ask why endorsements and agencies havent walked away from Sha Carri in the same fashion they did when Jonathan Majors got in his situation, Keep in mind Majors was cancelled well before the video came out. Within 24 of the report coming out he was cancelled. Sha Carri video was released she provided an apology video and then the body cam footage was released. This is a dangerous situation to be in. Stepping away from the "attack" of the accused here Dj and Wop send an important message to step away from a person that can bring you out of character to the extent that you feel the need to be physical. Dj still wants all podcast mics banned! And this time its not because he is the problem. For some strange reason David Justice is on a podcast talking about a relationship from 30 years ago. MPJ is on podcast dry snitching and sharing too much information about himself. Its a crazy world and we have enough to deal with, ban those microphones. Trump evicts the homeless population in DC. Dj complains about the streaming services and sports teaming up. Is this taking the spirit out of competition? Is this going to make watching sports complicated with NBA being on 6 different channels? @64 mins we talk about Shedeur Sanders and the other NFL news and updates.

Every year, Woven highlights a ministry that we want to come alongside, encourage, and support in whatever way possible. That's why we've chosen to spotlight Sparrow Collective based in Lewisville, Texas. Today I get to sit down with their founder and CEO, Rachel Joy. She shares some pretty incredible stories, some timeworn nuggets of wisdom, as well as her own journey of God birthing this multifaceted ministry. She opens up about God chasing her when her walls were up, healing some deep wounds, and calling her to step out in great faith. Today we start the conversation with Rachel giving us an overview of who Sparrow is and what they do. Social media handle: @rachelrjoy, @sparrowcollective Website: sparrowandco.comShow Notes/Quotes:“I'd been a believer for quite some time but I mean the Lord, He was after me, and he stared down and broke down all these walls that I had put up.” “Truth, freedom, identity, purpose. Truth, freedom, identity, purpose.” “Comparison is a real thing. Competition is a real thing. We think that our Christianity needs to look like everyone around us, and we don't actually ask the Lord, ‘Who have you created me to be? And what have you created me to do?'”“Instead of competing with you and comparing myself to you, I get to celebrate you.”“I think if you go to the scriptures you'll see that there are a lot of leaders that are not ideal in the mind's eye, yet God uses the least of these.”“A leader is someone who listens to the Lord and steps out in faith and they don't necessarily have the full picture but they trust the God who does. That's who a leader is.”“A leader is not the loudest person in the room. A leader is actually one who listens first.”“My allegiance has to be to King Jesus. Period, end of story…what sits on the throne of your heart?” “A leader always prays and leads with prayer.” “Sometimes leaders can build little kingdoms, instead of building THE kingdom. Two very different things.”“Not every opportunity is obedience.”“Am I about results, or am I about God being glorified? Those are two very different things.”“God uses the lowest points to show you who He is and then you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it's Him that's doing the work and it's not you.”“I feel very much caught up in something that is totally the mark of the Lord and has very little to do with me.”“Stepping out in faith, you do look a little crazy, and that's ok.”“Be curious. Be curious…no sphere of influence is too small, too big, God has placed you exactly where He wants you. Be curious about what He's doing, and join Him in what He's doing.” Verses: 1 Corinthians 13:12

After six amazing years, this is the final episode of the Leadership with Heart podcast. If you've been with me since the beginning, thank you. Truly. This journey has been one of the most meaningful parts of my career and my life. When I started this podcast in 2018, I felt the world needed more conversations about compassion in leadership. I believed that caring and connection were missing from too many workplaces, and I wanted to help change that. What followed was more than I could have imagined. This show led to best-selling books, powerful stories, and countless conversations with leaders who inspired me to keep going. But like all of us, I've grown. I've evolved as a speaker, as a parent, as a consultant, and as a human being. And with that growth has come a realization: it's time for something new. So, while this is the end of Leadership with Heart, it's also the beginning of something that feels even more aligned with where I am now. My new podcast is Becoming Unshakeable. Let me tell you why. I still believe deeply in caring leadership. That will never change. But I also believe we need to make space for the strength that comes from knowing who we are, standing firm in our values, and staying grounded when the world around us gets messy. Being unshakeable doesn't mean we're never shaken. It means we keep showing up. We get back up. We lead with care and clarity, even when it's hard. This next chapter will explore the full spectrum of what it means to lead and live with courage, resilience, and compassion. I'll still be speaking with leaders, but not just those with titles or teams. I'll be inviting people who have lived through adversity, rebuilt themselves, and learned how to stay rooted no matter what life throws at them.
