Podcasts about Stepping

In Week 3 of our Summer at Bethlehem series, our good friend Pastor Mike Linch joins us to share a life-changing word on what it truly means to discover our identity and calling in Christ. Continuing our summer journey through the scriptures that have fundamentally shaped our lives, Pastor Mike takes us to the shores of Galilee in Luke 5:1–11.   Too many of us spend our lives chasing worldly definitions of success, building our own plans, and exhausting ourselves in our own strength—only to end up with empty nets. Through the story of Simon Peter's miraculous catch of fish, this message confronts our need for control and serves as a powerful guide on how to shift from our personal ambitions to a life of true, kingdom-altering impact.  

Join Mike Zwick as he interviews Steven Black in an ear catching testimony that you won't want to miss out on!

Stepping into a bigger role can be exciting - but it can also create blind spots that slow your momentum.In this episode of Grounded and Aligned, Karen shares four leadership patterns she repeatedly sees among senior leaders who have recently taken on more responsibility through promotion, growth, acquisition, reorganization, or expanded scope.Drawing from real client experiences, Karen explores why high-performing leaders often struggle to let go of operational work, underestimate the importance of relationships, over-explain their decisions, and overlook the human impact of change.If you're navigating a new leadership role—or preparing for one—this episode will help you avoid common mistakes and accelerate your impact.Key TakeawaysStop doing and start enabling. Bigger roles require more strategic thinking, delegation, and long-term planning—not more execution.Relationships become a leadership priority. As your scope grows, your ability to influence through others becomes more important than your individual contribution.Explaining is different from justifying. Provide context and visibility, but avoid slipping into defensive explanations that undermine your authority.Don't underestimate the human side of leadership. Change affects people emotionally, even when it makes sense on paper.Leadership transitions require intentional adaptation. The habits that made you successful in your previous role may not be the habits that will make you successful in your next one.Register for the Momentum Sprint starting June 18: https://karen-gombault-coaching-ffzda0.subscribepage.ioStakeholder Strategy: Reduce the Learning Curve of Your New Role.

What if the problem that feels like it might break everything is actually the doorway to a better way forward?

Bro. Chris Villegas - 2 Samuel 21:15-22

What does it take to turn a prison conversation into a life's mission? In this episode, Dr. Crystallee Crain sits down with Geremy Johnson — justice-informed strategist, peer-led innovator, and Founder of Turning 365, Inc. — for a conversation that is equal parts reckoning and revelation.Geremy doesn't come with talking points. He comes with truth. Born in New York City, rooted in Virginia, and shaped by over two decades of lived experience and long-term recovery, Geremy has spent his life building what others said couldn't be built: real pathways for people the system was designed to forget.In this conversation, he takes us back to the beginning — not the programs, not the frameworks, but the moment inside a prison where he realized his story had the power to help someone else survive. He gets honest about what re-entry actually felt like in those early years, what almost pulled him back, and how he made the quiet, grueling shift from surviving to leading.He talks about what he says — not from the curriculum, but from the soul — when he's sitting across from someone who just came home and isn't sure they believe change is real for them. And he closes with the words he wishes someone had said to him.Whether you're in the work, just getting out, or still trying to believe that a different life is possible — this episode is for you.Topics explored: Life before recovery and the moment everything shifted — the early, unvarnished reality of re-entry — navigating credibility without erasing your story — the Foundations of Recovery and the P.E.E.R. Workbook — what peer leadership looks like when it's grounded in honesty — and a direct message to anyone still fighting to believe transformation belongs to them too.Learn more: www.turning365.com

Are we living under a system of genuine civic governance, or are we being systematically herded into a heavily managed reality? This episode breaks through the manufactured noise to expose how modern institutions depend on your absolute compliance. From the weaponization of mail-in voting structures to street-level ballot chasing operations in California, the crowd is being conditioned to accept an illusion of choice. Guest David Clements, host of The Professor's Record Podcast, joins the broadcast to dismantle the structural vulnerabilities in our legal and electoral systems, framing the current political landscape not just as a partisan battle, but as an existential, top-down effort toward institutional control.The crisis expands far beyond American borders, revealing a coordinated globalist agenda designed to destabilize Western civilization. Shocking footage out of Belfast exposes the explosive aftermath of selected leadership pushing unpopular, forced demographic shifts against the will of the populace. When citizens are treated like sheep, the inevitable breaking point results in total chaos in the streets. The mainstream media demands that you distrust your own eyes, operating as a system of psychological conditioning to keep the public blind to the erosion of national sovereignty and localized security.Nowhere is this institutional distortion more obvious than in the staggering double standards of the domestic legal system. While a Collin County, Texas jury hands down a 35-year sentence to Karmelo Anthony for the high-profile murder of teenager Austin Metcalf, right-wing activist Jake Lang faces a staggering million-dollar bond on a terroristic threat charge—four times the initial bond of an actual convicted murderer. From these weaponized courtrooms to the sudden, scandalous resignation of compromised figures like Utah Supreme Court Justice Diana Hagen, the evidence is undeniable. The tape doesn't lie: the rule of law is being hollowed out, and it is time to step out of the circle before the conditioning is complete.

When an announcement was made last year that Universal Studios was making a movie about Archie Andrews produced by Hollywood heavyweights, it should have been a victory for one of comics' most enduring franchises. Instead, it triggered a legal war which ties up a Beverly Hills mansion, accusations of threats fit for an “organized crime figure” and a much-awaited movie on the line.With a UCC foreclosure auction set for June 15, the fate of Archie Andrews — and the Archie Comics empire — hangs in the balance.In this episode, 9fin's global head of distressed and LevFin, Max Frumes, sat down with distressed debt reporter Maria Heeter and LME legal analyst Laurie Tomassian, co-authors of a recent investigation into the dispute between lender Raven Capital and Archie Comics co-CEO Jonathan Goldwater to break down how it all unraveled.As a quick shoutout, the episode references and includes short audio clips from the 1969 hit 'Sugar, Sugar' by the fictional bubblegum-pop group, The Archies. The song held the #1 spot on the Billboard Top 100 for eight weeks between October and December 1969. The episode theme song is a tongue-in-cheek homage to The Archies' second studio album, Everything's Archie, created bespoke for this episode by our producer Chase Collum.Clarifications: There's actually no show called “Desperate Mormon Housewives. Instead the popular reality television series was called "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives". Also, while Archie Comics did once don the wrappers of Topps bubble gum, that was in the 1950s, and the host was almost certainly referring to Bazooka Joe.Have any feedback on this episode?

Fresh out of the studio, James Liang — Co-founder and Executive Chairman of Trip.com Group, economist, and author of Innovationism: A New Philosophy for the Age of AI — joins us to explore what becomes of human meaning when AI does the work. James argues that innovation and heritage are "the same coin": innovation measured by how much heritage it leaves behind. He unpacks why the individual, not the nation or firm, is the binding constraint on innovation, why aging societies stop producing startups, and how his Nature 2024 hybrid-work study reframes family-friendly policy as economically rational. Closing the conversation, James explains why he is bullish on China mid-term but bearish long-term — and why population, not chips, is the real race."To innovate and to innovate successfully is measured by how much heritage you generate. But you know what's a good innovation? What's innovation can have a lasting impact? In my definition, the good news is it's going to last." - James LiangEpisode Highlights:[00:00] Quote of the Day by James Liang, Chairman of Trip.com Group[01:06] Introduction: James Liang[03:18] Stepping down twice — the mobile wave he didn't see[05:57] Founder mode and returning to lead Trip.com[07:31] Three life lessons: a rich life, experience, family[09:44] Innovationism — why the book opens with his daughter[11:24] Core tenets: innovation and heritage as one coin[14:38] Innovation as writing a company's cultural values[16:00] What heritage really means[17:32] Distil to simplicity; learn more in the age of AI[19:00] The Nature 2024 hybrid-work experiment[19:44] Triple-win policies: employee, company, society[22:52] Innovation capacity — neurons, scale, connection[25:37] Three levels: nation, firm, individual[29:00] Why innovation cannot be planned top-down[30:21] Japan's missing startups; Korea and China compared[32:14] Hierarchy, vested interests, and blocked young talent[33:17] AI and moats — operators and the physical world[35:36] Education reform — stop filtering children too early[37:31] College as universal general education[40:00] Understanding still matters in the age of AI[41:46] What readers won't pick up from the page[42:14] The AI end game — master, child, or pet[43:27] Population as the safeguard against losing control[45:14] Technology ethics at the frontier[46:01] Longevity, fresh blood, and stagnation[49:19] Interstellar trips as Trip.com's next frontier[49:41] The biggest misconceptions about China's innovation[50:36] The big-country advantage in digital technology[52:23] Electric cars, life science, three times the talent[54:16] The China–US race — researchers as the real bottleneck[56:38] Why blocking China hurts the US more[57:42] The question James wishes people would ask[59:25] Success for innovationism — relax, travel, have children[61:22] ClosingProfile: James Liang, Co-founder, Executive Chairman of the Board, Trip.com Group and Author of "Innovationism: A New Philosophy for the Age of AI" LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-liang-tripgroup/Trip.com Group: https://investors.trip.com/board-member/james-jianzhang-liangPodcast Information: Bernard Leong hosts and produces the show.

Stepping away from a professional boxing career just a few years after winning gold at the Commonwealth Games might seem a strange decision for some – but not Delicious Orie.Orie, who retired from the sport last May, tells Kalpana Fitzpatrick he has now embarked on a career in the financial world, which offers him something boxing couldn't – fulfilment.

In this episode: Seasonal living is often presented as though all Manifestors should experience it in the same way. But what if your rhythm doesn't look like anyone else's? In this episode, Caro explores the deeper nuances of being a non-sacral, cyclical being in a world built around consistency and linear output. She unpacks why some Manifestors thrive with more structure while others need greater flexibility, how chart configuration, nervous system capacity, conditioning, life stage and environment all influence our experience of energy, and why comparing yourself to other Manifestors can be just as damaging as comparing yourself to Generators. Through personal stories, observations from supporting the Manifestor Community, and reflections on her own journey as a 1/3 Emotional Manifestor, Caro explores what seasonal living can actually look like in real life, beyond the theory. Inside this episode: The difference between cyclical and linear living Why no two Manifestors experience energy the same way Defined vs open centers and how they influence capacity Structure versus flow and finding what supports you Hormonal, environmental and life cycles that impact energy Seasonal living in business, relationships and everyday life The dangers of comparing your rhythm to someone else's Questions to help you identify the season you're currently in Resources mentioned: Healing Lounge Business Lounge Manifestor Parent Lounge About Caro: 1/3 emotional Manifestor I am the Community Support Manager at The Manifestor Community. My work centres on creating spaces where Manifestors feel genuinely seen, supported, and connected. Community and support have been central themes in my journey, especially through my work in community management, social media, and virtual support. Before becoming self-employed, my path moved through many roles such as journalism, event coordination, hospitality management, language tutoring, translation, sales, customer support, and content creation. Each of these experiences became an essential piece of the skill set I bring into my work today. I now support aligned clients with their workload, whether through social media or VA-related tasks, bringing structure, responsiveness, and care into everything I do. I've worked alongside Holly for nearly 3 years as Community Manager for The Manifestor Community and also host the Incubator Calls, where connection between Manifestors is at the heart of the experience.

The communication habits that earned you a VP title can quietly stall your climb to the C-suite. In this episode, Sean Barnes breaks down five shifts that separate mid-level managers from top executives, drawing on a career that has spanned almost 50 acquisitions and two IPOs. He explains why executives lead with the answer and provide context second, why thinking out loud erodes confidence, and why taking a clear position matters more than playing it safe. He also makes the case that real leaders set the tone in the room instead of mirroring it, and shows how vocal range keeps people locked in. These are learnable skills, and stacking them is what gets people to pay attention, listen, and follow.   Key Moments 00:00 - Why VP-level communication habits stall your shot at the C-suite 00:50 - Shift one, lead with the answer and provide context second 01:45 - What answer-first communication sounds like in practice 02:44 - Shift two, stop thinking out loud 03:39 - Pause, gather your thoughts, then deliver 04:37 - Shift three, take a position or become irrelevant 05:36 - You can be wrong and still be respected 06:32 - Shift four, set the tone instead of mirroring the room 08:19 - Stepping into a leadership vacuum 08:19 - Shift five, using vocal range to keep people locked in 10:16 - Recap of all five shifts 11:06 - The executive presentation and public speaking course   Key Takeaways Executives lead with the answer and provide context second, because people decide in seconds whether you are worth listening to. Taking a clear position earns more respect than hedging, and you can be wrong and still be respected. Real leaders shape the energy in the room instead of matching it, especially in high pressure moments.   Podcast Show Notes – Episode 285 | 06.09.2026 Episode Title: Executive Presence: The 5 Communication Shifts That Get You Promoted   Host: Sean Barnes Website: https://www.wolfexecutives.com   https://www.seanbarnes.com   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seanbarnes/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/wolfexecutives https://www.linkedin.com/company/thewayofthewolf/ LinkedIn Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7284600567593684993/   Twitter: https://x.com/seanbarnes https://x.com/wolfexecutives   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_seanbarnes https://www.instagram.com/wolfexecutives   TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the_seanbarnes   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theseanbarnes

"Are you carrying a 'Tomorrow Box' full of worries you were never meant to bear?" In this episode, we dive into a powerful message preached this past Sunday by Peter Bergman, titled "Daily Bread, Daily Trust." Stepping into Exodus 16 and Matthew 6, Peter unpacks why God gives us grace, strength, and provision one single day at a time—and why our desperate attempts to "hoard the manna" and control the future only end up rotting our peace. If you missed it live, you'll definitely want to catch this one. Pastor Frank wanted to share a quick note to the community, expressing just how incredibly proud he is of Peter: "Peter did an absolutely amazing job stepping into the pulpit this weekend. He delivered a timely, deeply grounded word that challenged and comforted all of us." Whether you're drowning in the stress of next week or just trying to navigate the next 24 hours, this message will help you unpack your anxieties, lay them down, and learn what it actually looks like to live by the rhythm of God's daily grace. Tune in, clear out your "Tomorrow Box," and find rest for today.

Mariam Naficy is the founder and chairman of Minted — the online marketplace where independent artists around the world sell everything from cards to wall art to home decor. She's also the founder and CEO of Arcade, an AI platform reimagining how physical products get designed and made.But before any of that, Mariam was the child of immigrants who fled Iran after the revolution and rebuilt their lives from scratch. Watching her family lose everything left her, by age ten, with one conviction: she would have to take care of herself. That drive carried her through Goldman Sachs and Stanford — where she became one of the only MBAs in her class to skip the corporate path and bet on herself, back when entrepreneurship wasn't really a thing.In 1998, she co-founded Eve.com, one of the first online beauty retailers — back when investors told her women would never buy makeup online. It sold for over $100 million, just two weeks before the dot-com crash. Years later, she launched Minted. And it nearly broke her. Zero sales for months. Critics who dismissed the idea. A newborn at home. And the fear that her first big win had just been luck. The turnaround came when she stopped guessing, and started asking artists and customers what they actually wanted — and built one of the earliest creator-economy success stories.In this episode, Mariam shares how fleeing Iran shaped her relationship with risk and money, what her mother meant when she said "beat all the boys," and why she bet on herself with no family history in business. We get into building Eve in the earliest days of e-commerce, selling a company before 30, and the darkest stretch of Minted — when she was ready to give her investors their money back. She tells us how she got through those dark times, the mindset that kept her going, and the advice she'd give other founders. She also opens up about motherhood, self-doubt, the pivot that saved the company, and what she's building now with Arcade.In this episode, we'll talk to Mariam about:* How fleeing Iran shaped her relationship with risk and financial independence. [03:24]* Why financial security became a driving force. [04:20]* Choosing entrepreneurship over the traditional corporate ladder. [05:20]* Being one of the only Stanford MBA graduates to start a company in 1998. [06:21]* Writing and publishing a book to stand out and fund her education. [10:58]* Convincing a future co-founder to leave New York and build a company together. [14:19]* Launching one of the first online beauty retailers before e-commerce was mainstream. [15:49]* Raising $26 million as first-time founders. [17:59]* Selling the company just before the dot-com crash changed everything. [21:54]* Navigating the emotional comedown after early success. [23:42]* The lessons she learned between her first startup and launching Minted. [26:44]* Facing the darkest moments of entrepreneurship when Minted struggled to gain traction. [30:19]* Navigating motherhood while scaling a fast-growing company. [40:14]* Stepping away from the CEO role to prioritize family during a pivotal season. [44:37]* Building Arcade and using AI to reimagine product creation and manufacturing. [45:33]* The biggest mistakes founders make when starting a business. [48:21]* What she looks for when hiring future leaders and long-term team members.

In this powerful and transformative episode of I Am Refocused Radio, host Shemaiah Reed welcomes Liane Marie Lambert — Ascension Coach, Energy Alchemist, Spiritual Mentor, and best-selling author of Karma to Dharma: A New Age Guide to Becoming Superhuman. Liane opens up about her deeply personal journey after being diagnosed with MS in her early 40s. What began as a dark season of feeling stuck in limiting patterns, repeating cycles, and losing hope became the catalyst for profound inner work. Through the process of clearing karma, she broke free from what she calls “karmic entanglement,” shifted her reality, and stepped into a life of greater freedom, vitality, and alignment with her soul's purpose — what she now calls living as “Walking-Karma.” In this conversation, Liane shares how clearing unresolved karma and multigenerational patterns can release us from cycles of limitation, raise our vibration, and allow us to step fully into our dharma — our highest path and contribution. She offers a refreshing perspective on taking radical responsibility for our energy, thoughts, and beliefs as the pathway to true transformation and living in greater alignment with who we're meant to be. Whether you're navigating health challenges, feeling stuck in repeating patterns, or seeking deeper meaning and freedom in your life, this episode will invite you to reflect on what may be holding you back and inspire you to take courageous steps toward healing and expansion. Key themes include:Turning a health crisis into a spiritual awakeningThe power of clearing karma to break free from limiting cyclesStepping into your dharma and highest potentialRaising your vibration and reclaiming personal powerMoving from victimhood to conscious co-creationIf you've ever felt weighed down by old patterns or wondered how to truly break free and live with more purpose and lightness, this conversation will give you both hope and practical spiritual insight.

In this episode, we cover:Why Joshua 3 has become a prophetic mirror for this church seasonThe meaning of “stepping into the river” as a community, not just individualsEvidence of spiritual awakening and revival stirring in Boston and beyondWhat it means to carry an apostolic mantle—and who gets to define itThe spiritual and operational preparation required to steward revivalKey Moments00:00–02:10 — Opening prayer and welcoming the Holy Spirit04:05–10:40 — Moses, Joshua, and the Jordan: a prophetic parallel13:37–18:34 — “You've never been this way before”20:06–22:22 — The command: stand in the river24:11–31:55 — Is Boston near revival? Evidence and testimony39:15–46:04 — Apostolic calling and why this place matters53:20–59:56 — A congregational decision and operational readiness1:04:10–end — Stepping into the future together

When is the last time you did something that genuinely scared you?In Week 1 of Uncharted, we begin our journey through the book of Joshua and discover a truth we desperately need in today's world: courage isn't the absence of fear—it's trusting God enough to take the next step anyway.As Joshua stands on the edge of the Promised Land following the death of Moses, God gives him a simple but powerful command: "Be strong and courageous." Why? Because the source of our courage isn't found in ourselves—it's found in the presence of God.If you're facing uncertainty, a difficult decision, a step of faith, or a season where the future feels unclear, this message is for you.You don't have to be fearless to be faithful. You just have to trust that the One who goes before you is bigger than what lies ahead.

I told my dog we were getting French fries. He thought that meant we were heading out the door immediately. I meant I'd order delivery. He was furious with me and honestly, he had every right to be. That moment stopped me cold because I realized: how many arguments in my life have started the exact same way? Not out of bad intentions. Not out of stubbornness. Just two sides operating from different assumptions and neither one stopping long enough to ask how the other person actually sees it. The bravest thing you can do in a disagreement isn't proving you were right. It's asking, genuinely and without sarcasm: how did you see it? Sometimes that question resolves everything. Sometimes it shows you the other person was never interested in understanding at all. Either way, you get clarity. And clarity is worth more than winning. Key Takeaways: - Most conflicts begin as miscommunications, not character flaws or bad intentions - Asking "how did you see it?" with genuine curiosity is an act of confidence, not weakness - Stepping across the aisle in a disagreement gives you clarity: either resolution or the freedom to walk away Questions For Reflection: 1. How many past arguments, if you are honest, started simply because both sides were working from different assumptions? 2. When was the last time you entered a disagreement already open to the possibility that the other person's perspective had merit? 3. Are you seeking understanding in hard conversations, or are you seeking to be validated? Action Steps: 1. In your next disagreement, pause before defending your position and ask the other person: "Tell me how you saw it." 2. Identify one recurring source of friction in your life and ask yourself whether a simple communication gap might be driving it. 3. When you realize a miscommunication was partly your doing, say so directly. Own the moment before it spirals. Featured Quote: "It takes confidence. It takes being the bigger, stronger person to say: here's what I meant, but tell me how you saw it."

Humble beginnings are not an excuse to stay small; they are the foundation for long term business growth. In an economy where industries pivot overnight and competition can blind you to your own progress, staying focused on your lane is the ultimate advantage. Hosts Josh Saffron and Pat Mars sit down with Mike Shelton to dissect his path from working out of the back of a house to establishing a respected business presence.We get into the specific tactical decisions it takes to survive when the market shifts beneath your feet. The discussion covers scaling up from a backyard setup to a busy commercial location, navigating the sudden government shutdowns of 2020, and the shift from selling physical CDs on tour to learning professional barbering. Mike Shelton shares his unique philosophy that the customer chooses the business based on the vibe and relationship rather than proximity, rendering standard local rivalries completely irrelevant.Stepping away from a 15 year career with no college degree to build a completely new enterprise requires serious grit and a willingness to learn from scratch. Real success means adjusting to technological shifts like the death of physical media, enduring tight financial realities, and choosing to serve your community daily. True operators understand that treating people with genuine respect in a shared space will outperform aggressive marketing tactics every single time.

Setting up a business is a major life decision that should not be taken lightly—it is incredibly painful. The ups definitely outweigh the downs, but the downs can be dark. Having a co-founder makes all the difference. Matthew Duhig, CEO and co-founder of FX Digital, started the business at university with his co-founder Tom, to build a website for his sister's bridal shop for free. Fifteen years later, they've grown from £1.5M to approaching £10M revenue, from 20 people to nearly 80, and they've built connected TV applications for major media and sports companies. Along the way, they had one major near-death experience when a single client became 80% of revenue, then in-housed the work down to 60%—leaving Matt and Tom with no personal wealth or assets, living together, staring at the barrel. But they believed in their proposition, backed themselves against the wall, and won 4 of 5-6 bids they needed to win, which launched them into major tech company work and one of their best years ever.In this episode, Matt reveals his four contrarian beliefs about building businesses: (1) Running a business is incredibly painful and decision should not be taken lightly; (2) Vision comes from consumption (reading, listening, watching—not plucking it from air); (3) Don't make promises you can't control (resentment is harder to overcome than anything else in teams); (4) The job of an entrepreneur is to reduce risk (not take risks). He shares why he's an absolute delegator (sometimes great, sometimes backfires), how he managed to get off the tools when billing five days a week, why he stays in touch with 5-10 people at any given time who might be future hires, and how Barcelona became their second office (Jack the QA lead asked if he could relocate and Matt asked him to set up an office instead).What you'll learn:

After a break with family and a slower pace of life, Josh returns with some existential questions, one in particular that's been sitting heavy: Am I conforming to what everyone else around me is doing, or am I "appointing" my time well with the people who need me most? Drawing from Isaiah 43, Psalm 90, and Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, Josh walks through what it looks like to grieve the past well, release the assignments of old, and step fully into the season God has for your family right now. He further unpacks how sweetening retrospect—or nostalgically living in the past—can breed depression, how anxiety about the future keeps us from the present, and why the mundane drive-time moments are shaping the hearts of your children more than you realize. A practical, honest reset if you're catching yourself distracted or not as intentional as you wish you might be.  ** Thank you to Bernhardt Watches for sponsoring this episode!

https://teachhoops.com/ Stepping into a head coaching position for the second time is completely different from your first ride. The first time around, you're trying to survive—managing parent emails, organizing equipment, writing 90-minute practice scripts, and trying to prove you belong. You coach with a whistle in your mouth and a joystick in your hand. The second time? The fog of management is gone. You know how the machine operates, which means you can spend your energy on what actually matters: building the human architecture of the program and protecting the culture. Going into "Round Two" means you aren't guessing your way through a philosophy. You are deploying an established blueprint refined by the "Truth Room" of your past mistakes. The biggest hazard for a veteran coach entering a new school is trying to run the exact same playbook that won them a regional title somewhere else. If your last stop featured elite, downhill-attacking guards and you ran a relentless Dribble Drive, but your new roster features physical, back-to-the-basket bigs, trying to force your old tactical system makes you a rigid coach. Your system must serve your players to maximize their Effective Field Goal Percentage ($eFG%$): The Shift: In your first job, you might have modified your players to fit your system. In your second job, you have the tactical maturity to modify your system to fit your players while keeping your Standard of Excellence completely non-negotiable. The first time you were head coach, you likely hired your friends or whoever was available. This time, you understand that your coaching staff is your shield. The Rule: Do not hire an entire staff of "Yes Men." You need assistants who bring different tactical perspectives—maybe a "Modern Flow" architect to balance your structured Princeton Offense or a defensive specialist who understands recovery leverage. The Expectation: Hold your staff to the same Next Play Speed you expect from your players. They must be vocal "Energy Givers" in the gym, echoing your instructions rather than standing on the sideline with their arms crossed. A program is not defined by what the head coach preaches in the pre-season parent meeting; it is defined by what the head coach is willing to tolerate on a rainy Tuesday afternoon in January. Day One Standard: From your very first open gym, establish your non-negotiables: body language, how we treat the managers, how we sprint out of mistakes, and how we talk on defense. The Leadership Shift: Start building a Leadership Council immediately. Your ultimate goal in this second stint should be to move the program from Coach-Fed to Player-Led. When your upperclassmen start policing the locker room before you even walk through the door, you have built a culture that lasts. Coach's Note: "The first time you coach, you think it's about the X's and O's. The second time around, you realize the X's and O's don't mean a thing if the human beings running them don't trust each other. Focus on the relationship capital early, hold the standard fiercely, and let the scoreboard take care of itself." 1.

I share three common recovery traps and how we can find our way out of them without blame. Today's episode focuses on pacing, nervous system safety, and emotional processing so your body can stabilise and move forwards. • Pushing too hard on a better day and triggering the boom and bust cycle • Banking energy for healing by spending some, enjoying some, and saving some • Stepping off the symptom-fixing merry-go-round and reducing pressure • Creating safety through kindness, gentleness, and small consistent cues • Recognising the emotional load of long COVID, ME/CFS, and health challenges • Finding a safe place to feel emotions without judgement So do let me know how you get on, if these resonate with you, and if you've noticed any other common recovery traps that you might be getting waylaid by. Links to relevant practises (free tracks)Finding Emotional Safety: https://insig.ht/A7bEwwAXF3bMeeting your body kindly: https://insig.ht/Jlnf2P0w32b STOP: From overwhelm to ease: https://insig.ht/1UCyrM2w32bMessage me!

Do you question your calling in life? What if your calling isn't what you planned? In this episode, I sit down with Norrie Steyn to talk through the twists and turns that have shaped his life. He grew up in a small South African town, moved across the world to play college golf, and eventually stepped away from a stable career path to pursue ministry. We talk about the moments that pushed him out of what was familiar, the tension between financial security and purpose, and the way he's learned to invest in people through steady, relational work. Norrie shares what it's like to carry his faith into the professional golf world where it isn't always welcomed. Here are a few takeaways from our conversation: Stepping out of comfort zones — Growth often begins when we're willing to leave what's familiar. Purpose over security — Choosing calling over comfort leads to a more honest, meaningful life. Relational ministry matters — Real transformation tends to happen through personal connection. Authenticity in skeptical environments — Staying grounded in your mission matters most when it's tested. Meaning beyond material gains — Fulfillment is found in faith, service, and relationships. If you're navigating your own crossroads or trying to make sense of the next step in front of you, Norrie's story offers a steady reminder that courage usually shows up in the small, consistent decisions we make along the way.

Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.   In this episode, Justin interviews Emily Buckley, Insurance Risk Manager at Specialized Bicycle Components. They discuss how, in her career, she arrived at risk management, from tossing T-shirts into the stands at Ball Stadium. They talk about her work leading risk at Kroenke Sports and Entertainment for years, and then joining Specialized Bicycle Components to become their Risk Management program and launch ERM for them. Emily talks about Specialized hiring the best people, including professional and Olympic athletes, to make the best product. Emily's purpose is to build the best Risk Management and ERM Program for them. Justin and Emily discuss how she feels about being named the RIMS 2026 Honor Roll Recipient. They discuss her involvement with the Rocky Mountain RIMS Chapter and her engagement in the ERM Engage Group.

Our handle is @RIMSOfficialChannel. We've got plenty of videos there, including RIMScast, RIMScast Canada video podcasts, and other informative and entertaining content from RIMS. Subscribe to the channel today! [2:10] On with the Show! Our guest today is one of the liveliest RIMS members I know! She is Emily Buckley, the Insurance Manager for Specialized Bicycle Components, a global performance brand. [2:23] Emily is the Vice President of the RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter. At RISKWORLD 2026, Emily was named to the RIMS Honor Roll in 2026. Emily made her RIMScast debut in 2024 for National Bike Safety Month in Man, and we're recording in May again. [2:47] We'll have a lot of fun talking about bicycle safety and how Emily embeds safety into all aspects of risk management and the risk culture over at Specialized Bicycle Components. [2:59] Emily has had a remarkable career at Specialized. She is the company's first-ever dedicated risk manager. She has built a modern enterprise-ready risk and insurance function from the ground up, which we are going to talk about today. [3:12] We'll talk about her risk philosophies, her approach to polycrisis and supply chain risk management, and why her involvement in the RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter has been so critical for her career. Let's get to it! [3:27] Interview! Emily Buckley, Welcome Back to RIMScast! [3:50] Emily says receiving the RIMS Honor Roll award seemed surreal. It was very cool to be onstage, be recognized, and have the village she had built around herself there supporting her. Everyone was so excited for her. It was one of the coolest things she had ever experienced. [4:27] Justin calls Emily the Risk Queen of Denver and the Greater Denver Area and says she has a lot of support behind her. She's "got heat!" [4:48] Justin is recording this episode during National Bicycle Safety Month. This is Emily's month. At Specialized Bicycle Components, every day is National Bicycle Safety Month! [5:19] Justin talks about safety being embedded into the manufacturing and shipping of bicycles. [5:34] Emily says every day, even when she is sleeping, safety is on her mind. [5:46] Specialized Bicycle Components has a Safety Team. Emily's broker has a Safety Specialist assigned to her account. Emily has connected those two teams. She is a liaison between them, and she works very closely with her Safety Team at Specialized Bicycle Components. [6:02] Emily has monthly meetings with groups at Specialized Bicycle Components to discuss safety initiatives. She says the Safety Team at Specialized does a phenomenal job. [6:26] Emily says Risk Management is a department of many hats. She tells people that if there is pushback on an initiative, I'll be the bad guy. Tell them, Sorry, Risk Management is making us do this. Sometimes that's a little bit easier to sell. [7:11] Emily has been practicing risk management for almost 15 years. She started at Kroenke Sports and Entertainment in Customer Interaction, including tossing T-shirts into the crowd for the Denver Nuggets. People wanted those shirts. [9:05] When Kroenke posted a job for a risk analyst, Emily applied, and Peggy Miller hired her. Emily talked about this in her past appearance on RIMScast. Peggy is the President of Rocky Mountain RIMS. Peggy taught Emily almost everything Emily knows about risk management. [9:34] Peggy took Emily under her wing. She taught Emily how to review contracts for risk management wording and insurance requirements. Emily could go to Peggy with any question, and Peggy would explain it. Emily says that Peggy is a phenomenal boss. [10:07] Emily found an opportunity at Specialized when it was time to spread her wings. She still calls Peggy from time to time for advice. Peggy is always willing to help. [10:34] Emily joined Specialized Bicycle Components and became the risk management department. She came in two or three months before they did their insurance renewal, so it was initiation by firehose. [10:53] It was a great opportunity to learn about the program. She was also educating them about what risk management does and how they should be running their program, and educating them about insurance requirements. [11:16] Emily says Specialized has an amazing executive team and ownership. They were so receptive to all the ideas Emily brought them. They also had a lot of creative ideas. As a risk manager, it was fun to come into that environment. [11:49] The risk department has not grown since Emily joined Specialized. [12:21] Emily started an ERM Program at Specialized. It takes a team, and it takes the right partners. Emily thinks every company will benefit from an ERM Program. Stepping into a manufacturing company very dependent on the supply chain, Emily saw that ERM was a must. [12:49] Emily worked with the right partners, did a couple of different tabletops, and hyper-focused on three or four ERM initiatives, for which she built the ERM foundation and the risk management foundation on top. Every project she works on goes back to those initiatives. [13:24] Emily says she is very fortunate to have the ear of the executive leadership. [13:32] One of the mantras at Specialized Bicycle Components is Innovate or Die. Emily has taken that to heart in Risk Management and ERM. Emily is constantly trying to find ways to make the ERM stronger and better, going back to those three or four initiatives. [13:51] Emily thinks outside the box. She has seen some products that don't completely fit Specialized, but by working with the service providers and saying she likes this product, but she needs it to do this, she has found some amazing service providers and partners to work with.  [14:24] As a risk manager, Emily lives in worst-case scenarios. Professionally and personally, she can never get away from worst-case scenarios. A good risk manager is always preparing for the worst-case scenario, always thinking, what is the absolute worst thing that could happen. [14:46] Emily says one of the hardest things is realizing that a lot of people don't live in that headspace. When she goes to teams and tells them the worst thing that can happen, they ask if she is OK. She insists that this worst-case scenario is something they need to think about. [15:12] That's where education comes in. We need to think about it. If this worst-case scenario happens, all of these ripple effects hit every portion of the company. [15:43] Emily says Specialized has been around so long, and with the leadership and experts they have in place, Emily is amazed every day at the team that Specialized has assembled. She says they are the best in their class. There are Olympic and professional athletes on the team. [16:43] A service provider noticed that Specialized Bicycle Components recruits the best people in the world. They want that experience so they can build a better product with better processes.

[19:13] Justin speaks about the profile of Emily Buckley in the RIMS Risk Management Magazine Awards Edition. It mentions that Emily consolidated fragmented global insurance structures into a unified strategy across more than 30 countries. [19:38] Emily says, trying to get the insurance together at a global company was hard. A lot of people were autonomous, getting their own insurance and doing their own thing. In almost 15 years as a risk manager, Emily learned that insurance is very touchy for a lot of people. [20:23] Insurance costs a lot of money for something that you can't see. You're not using it unless something bad has happened. So it's a very sensitive subject for a lot of people. Emily says it's a job that won't ever really be done because there are so many different moving parts. [21:03] Emily says that in all the different countries we're in, every country has different insurance laws, different ways to buy and pay for insurance, and what kind of insurance you have to have. [21:13] Emily says in some countries, I have to have a locally placed general liability policy, but the property policy that I place on a global level will sit over that. In a different country, I have to have a locally placed general liability/property and a locally placed stock throughput. [21:31] For almost 40 different countries, you have to know which countries you have to have insurance in. That's when your broker becomes invaluable. [21:48] It's helpful to have a foreign team on your broker who are subject matter experts in placing locally placed policies. Emily says she would not be able to do that without the team at her broker, Brown & Brown.  [22:03] Emily talks about educating the people at your company: This is what we currently have, and this is what we need. We need it in almost 40 countries. These 20 are our top priority. You tier them down so you're not throwing everything at the wall. [22:27] You're formulating a plan, then educating and speaking with the people in your company. A lot of questions come up, not only about general liability, but also cyber, and directors & officers. [22:37] It's a sensitive subject that you have to take your time with. Build a relationship with those offices so that when something does happen, or they have a question, they come to you. [23:04] You will always be making connections with your offices, making sure they're happy with their insurance, they understand it, and they have a local contact. If something happens in Taiwan, they need a local contact who can answer questions and relay that to the global team. [24:12] Emily says that every year, there are two or three problem countries, from an insurance perspective, where the carrier or broker has thrown a curveball. Sometimes she has had to pull people out of the program and put them on their own. It's a constantly moving target. [25:13] Emily says at Kroenke, she and Peggy did a business continuity tabletop, where they sat down with all the different department heads at Ball Arena (Pepsi Center, then) and walked through scenarios. They presented a worst-case scenario tabletop with 30 people in the room. [25:52] Emily and Peggy also did a couple of cyber tabletop exercises. Emily stresses how important it is to do a cyber tabletop with your executive and leadership team. They're always amazed at how many different small issues and questions come up that they never thought of. [26:35] Emily says her leadership team at Specialized is fantastic. They've been very supportive. She can throw ideas at them, and they'll say, "Let's do it." [26:49] Justin says people receive these awards from RIMS not just for their achievements in risk management, but also for what they give back to the broader risk management community or their local chapters. [27:09] Justin says Emily is very involved in the RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter and is a great Networker and is very plugged in. Justin says that if it weren't for Emily, he doesn't think he would have gotten Rich Lenkov from SERMA on the show this year. (Shout out to Rich!) [27:40] Emily says she started going to the Rocky Mountain RIMS Chapter when she was an analyst, working under Peggy Miller. She remembers walking into a Lunch and Learn. Going to Chapter meetings was very inspiring. She wanted to be that knowledgeable one day. [29:10] Emily says this industry is built on your connections to people and how you know people. She says we have the best people in our chapter. We're very involved with students and RRP. [29:24] Emily tells students in RRP, "Come to our meetings. If you don't know anybody, you know me. I will introduce you to everybody. This is where your career is going to take off. This is where you're going to be able to make steps and strides and really make connections." [30:11] Emily says she cannot say enough great things about Rocky Mountain RIMS. She thinks they have one of the best chapters in the U.S., because they have the best people. [30:24] Justin recalls that Ondrea Matthews with CoorsTek was on the show last year. She is in Rocky Mountain RIMS. Emily says Ondrea is one of the best people she knows. Justin says she had fascinating stories. A link to her RIMScast episode is in the show notes. [31:02] Emily says when she joined Specialized, she told them she's a Rocky Mountain RIMS board member, she speaks at conferences, and is a guest lecturer at CU Denver. They were super supportive. [31:47] Emily says Specialized wants to put the best product on the market, and Emily takes that into risk management and insurance. She wants to create the best risk program that she can. She wants to work with the best service providers that she can. [32:12] Another Quick Break! The Spencer Educational Foundation's Risk Manager on Campus application period is now open, and it will close on June 30th. Grant awardees, colleges, and universities are typically notified in September. [32:32] The Course Development Grant application deadline for Interval Number 2 will be on June 15th, 2026.

Internship Grant applications open on August 15th and close on October 15th. [32:59] Links to each of these grants are in this episode's show notes. Visit SpencerEd.org for more information.

It will be at the fabulous Waldorf Astoria in New York City. [33:23] Sponsorship opportunities and benefits are available now. A link to the Funding Their Future Gala is in this episode's show notes. [33:32] Be on the lookout for some of the honorees and Spencer Board members to join RIMScast in June and July. [33:41] Let's Conclude Our Interview with RIMS 2026 Honor Roll Recipient Emily Buckley! [33:48] Justin mentions the RIMS Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council. The RIMS ERM Engage Group is a member-only offshoot of SERMC for people to have candid dialogues. All RIMS members have exclusive access to the ERM Engage Group. Emily is a member. [34:38] Emily says the ERM Engage Group gets together monthly for an hour. Morgan O'Rourke, VP of Editorial at RIMS, leads it. Everyone brings issues, or Morgan will have a guest speaker. Emily says it's just such a great place to go and learn from industry peers with similar issues. [35:55] Emily is not trying to reinvent the wheel. If she can bring the problems she is dealing with to a group of professionals, ask how they have done it in the past, and get 10 or 20 ideas, it's amazing. [36:13] Emily recommends the movie, Project Hail Mary, which she calls amazing. [36:27] Justin talks about the monthly guest speaker, often from SERMC, who presents a topic and then engages the group in discussion. The Engage group lets the leaders see who the next ERM leaders are going to be through their participation. It's very interactive. [37:32] If you are a RIMS member, just check out the RIMS ERM Engage Group. Justin says Emily's involvement is above and beyond, not just for her job, but for RIMS, so he was not surprised she received the 2026 RIMS Honor Roll; it's well deserved. [38:18] Emily loves her job. She loves this industry.  [38:40] Emily admits her blood caffeine content was through the roof, preparing for the awards ceremony. Emily looked it up. She is the 43rd recipient of the Risk Management Honor Roll in 75 years of RIMS. She has the award in her window in her office. It is cool to be celebrated. [40:26] Emily says her award makes it into everything. After she got it, she carried it around with her. At lunch, it was sitting on the table. At dinner, it was sitting on the table. She carried it onto the plane with her. [41:22] In the profile about Emily, it talked about perseverance in mountain biking. Juston asks Emily for her inspiration for the next generation of risk professionals. [42:04] Emily's words: "Keep going. You're going to fail, and that's fine. It's part of the journey. Fail. Learn the lesson or lessons, but keep going. Always keep looking at the horizon, saying, OK, I'm going to get there. I'm going to get there, I'm going to get there. [42:21] "The absolute most important thing is, have fun on the way." Emily says she did a little dance on the awards stage, and some students told her they loved seeing her having fun with it. It made Emily's day for them to stop and tell her. "If you're not having fun, what's the point?" [43:21] Justin tells Emily, We look forward to more great things from you in the coming years. We thank you, and we congratulate you again. [45:33] Special thanks again to Emily Buckley of Specialized Bicycle Components for joining us here on RIMScast!

We can't wait to experience miracles with you!   Welcome to a new episode of the Future Generations Podcast! In this conversation, Dr. Stanton Hom sits down with somatic healer Jules Horn, a former model turned nervous system guide and soon‑to‑be father. Jules shares his journey from a small village in Germany and a decade in the modeling world to discovering his true purpose: helping people down‑regulate their nervous systems, remember who they really are, and live from the "kingdom of heaven within." Together, Stanton and Jules dive into fatherhood, grief, faith, and what it means to hold true presence in a highly stimulated world. They explore practical self‑regulation tools like breathwork and standing meditation, the spiritual lens on pain and disease, money as energetic flow, and why less is often more when it comes to healing, performance, and living a God‑centered life.   Highlights: "I don't believe we're here to learn much; we're here to remember what it feels like."   "It's not a chase on the outside, it's an uncovering and a remembering."   "Less is more in almost every area of life; breath, food, training, even healing."   "If God is within you and within me, why would I treat anyone differently?"   Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction 01:10 – Jules' mission: awakening the "kingdom of heaven" within 03:20 – From modeling to meaning: finding true fulfillment in healing work 06:10 – Losing his father, grief, and leaning on God as a new backbone 08:40 – Stepping into fatherhood 14:49 – Pain as a teacher: emotional roots of illness and body patterns 24:10 – Rethinking energy: less grind, more cultivation from within 26:30 – The "number one" practice for nervous system and energy 41:34 – Existing vs. being: Eckhart Tolle, presence, and our addiction to doing 45:36 – Money as energy, giving freely, and trusting God's provision   Resources:   Remember to Rate, Review, and Subscribe on iTunes and Follow us on Spotify!   Learn more about Dr. Stanton Hom on:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstantonhom    Website: https://futuregenerationssd.com/  Podcast Website: https://thefuturegen.com  Twitter: https://twitter.com/drstantonhom   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanhomdc   Stay Connected with the Future Generations Podcast:   Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futuregenpodcast   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/futuregenpodcast/     About Jules Horn: Jules Horn is a somatic healer, fascia practitioner, and founder of Mindful Movemend.

Who can you become if you dropped your made up limitations? In this episode, Marli is diving deep into your made rules of self-limitation. How often do we put ourselves into a limited, comfortable, predictable box and call it... "This is just who I am." Whether you realize it or not, you have rules about what you think you can handle, what you like, and what you have decided you will or won't do and its unconsciously capping your own expansion... and therefore the life you get to live.But transformation and growth doesn't happen inside the comfort zone. It happens the moment you willingly cross it.Tune in as we explore:How to identify the invisible "identity boxes" and rules you've built around your life and business.The power of doing the exact thing you once said you never would do, and how it instantly shatters your limitations.Why getting uncomfortable is the fast track to identity expansion and unlocking the next level of your life.Marli shares her own story of stepping completely out of her own element, and the profound realization that she had on the other side.It's time to stop letting your past definitions dictate your future capacity. Who could you become if you finally dropped the rules?

Send us Fan MailThe Bible Project Daily Podcast is an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes:  Stepping Into Ephesus. Ephesians, Introduction and Overview.A messenger has arrived from far away. He carries a letter. Not just any letter, a letter from a man they have heard about but never met. A man whose reputation has travelled farther than he ever could. A man who has been beaten, shipwrecked, imprisoned, and yet somehow is still shaping the world. The letter is opened.And the room falls silent. This is the moment the church in Ephesus first heard the words we now call Ephesians. A letter that would outlive empires, reshape theology, and call believers across centuries to live in the light of their calling. And today, we begin that journey together through that letter.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Streaming has changed everything—access, visibility, even what success looks like.How do you see the industry today compared to when you first started pursuing acting?I sat down with Brandon Black and talked about:Do you feel like actors today have more opportunity, or just more competition and noise?There's also this pressure now to be more than an actor you have to be a brand, a personality, a presence online.How do you balance being an artist versus being visible?Have you ever felt like the industry tried to put you in a box creatively? And if so, how did you push back?..Brandon Black is not just an artist just stepping into roles, but stepping into purpose.From A Madea Homecoming to what's next, this is only the beginning of a much larger story.Instagram @bblackJamirSmith.com

Jay Gunkelman goes in BLIND on Case 9 — an 18-year-old's eyes-open EEG, age only, no history. Joshua Moore bet his car on a left posterior concussion. Jay sees something deeper: a thalamocortical dysrhythmia at the anterior cingulate, slow and fast rhythms coupled together, beta spindling above 30 Hz that most databases can't even see. Left-side mu disconnect shutting down the language hemisphere. Posterior insula, left side. After half a million EEGs, Jay's verdict isn't a diagnosis — it's a phenotype that tells you how to treat it, not what to call it.

In this explosive new episode, Joe rips back the curtain on the quiet war being waged against the American people and the institutional rot tearing at the very fabric of our society. From startling new allegations of foreign election interference—where leaked emails point to remote access of voting systems—to the devastating reality of communities left defenseless by radical municipal policies, we break down how the modern political apparatus is driving a calculated societal meltdown. Joe exposes the staggering double standards embedded in our cultural and healthcare systems, contrasting the taxpayer-funded priorities of the state with the real, unvarnished struggles of everyday citizens who feel entirely abandoned by their government.The heart of the broadcast features an exclusive, deeply moving conversation with U.S. Marine Corps veteran Jeff Kyle, brother of the legendary "American Sniper" Chris Kyle and President of the American Valor Foundation. Stepping onto the front lines of the cultural battlefield, Kyle delivers a masterclass in true patriotism, offering a tactical blueprint for healing a fractured nation and reclaiming a sense of unified American identity. He tackles the hard questions head-on: how to spot exploitation within modern non-profits, the expanding psychological toll facing local first responders, and the essential steps isolated veterans must take to "kick the door in" and rediscover their purpose after hanging up the uniform.Finally, Joe confronts the toxic underbelly of the "tolerant" ideological movement that dominates our media echo chambers, dissecting the escalating rhetoric that actively demonizes conservative values while everyday citizens are forced to build DIY barricades just to protect their neighborhoods. This episode is not just a wake-up call regarding the constant surveillance, hyper-vigilance, and manufactured chaos designed to keep us divided—it is a rallying cry for truth, accountability, and the restoration of authentic American strength. Don't miss a single second of this raw, uncompromising broadcast; watch the full episode now to arm yourself with the insights needed to filter out the noise and focus on what truly matters.

Have you ever felt like you had to stand as strong as an oak tree in the midst of your grief? In this week's episode of the Sisters in Loss podcast, we are taking our community global! We are joined by the incredible Bertha Mowelle, joining us all the way from Berlin. Known to many as "The Oak of Justice," Bertha is a fierce advocate and a pillar of strength who is deeply rooted in building and uplifting a powerful community of women. In our conversation, Bertha opens up about her complex and deeply personal journey to motherhood. She holds nothing back as we discuss the many challenges and heavy obstacles she had to overcome to find her footing again after loss. One of the most beautiful and relatable moments in this episode is when Bertha shares the specific resource that helped her heal. It wasn't a clinical textbook or a step-by-step guide. Instead, it was the raw, vulnerable testimony of another woman grieving the loss of her husband. Hearing another sister speak her truth gave Bertha the courage to finally "step out," break her own silence, and walk into her purpose. In this episode, we discuss: Bertha's journey to motherhood and overcoming profound challenges. What it means to be an "Oak of Justice" in your community. The life-changing power of hearing another woman's testimony. How shared grief can give us the courage to step out of the shadows.

This week on Good Moms, Bad Choices, we sit down with Bre-z, the multi-hyphenate artist, actress, barber, and breakout star from All-American. She opens up about the unplanned audition that landed her on Empire, what it means to "become smaller" when you become bigger, and why she's finally stepping into who she was meant to be at 38. From Atlanta's underground lesbian club scene to Hollywood's brightest stages, Bre-z gives us the raw truth about representation, identity, and reclaiming your power. You can expect to hear: How a random client phone call led to Empire and completely shifted her life trajectory Transitioning from a barber with 20 years of clientele to full-time acting The unique pressure and paranoia that comes with unexpected fame Finding groundedness when you enter Hollywood at the highest level Black lesbian representation on television and the responsibility that comes with it Stepping out of the masculine closet and reclaiming her authentic identity Dating, relationships, and planning a future with intention as a same-sex couple The healing power of water, nature intimacy, and listening to your body How being present and intentional actually changes what shows up for you Self-care rituals: baths, walks, probiotics, and intentional Coca-Colas Why Atlanta lesbians were incredibly cliquish (and still kind of are) Coming into her sexuality without shame or apology Her upcoming music and why she's saving her sluttiest stories for the album Tarot readings, the Seven of Cups, and what the universe was trying to tell her Watch This episode & more on YouTube!
