I've had quite a few clients come to me thinking they needed to change jobs. They go out and find new jobs. And then they decide not to take them. So how do you know? How do you tell whether a role is a stepping stone toward the career you actually want, or a dead end that drops you right back into the misery you promised yourself you'd never repeat?

Israel had the laws, promises, and presence of God. Yet they asked for kings, kings that turned away from God. What appeared to be failure was setting up Israel, and the world, for a truer and. better King. King Jesus.

Stepping Stones to Personal Healing: A Traditional Physician Goes Beyond the Limitations of His Medical Background and Embraces the World of Holistic Health by Robert Koppen https://www.amazon.com/Stepping-Stones-Personal-Healing-Traditional-ebook/dp/B0G6LLFVWL Drrobertkoppen.com We know now that our habitual thoughts and feelings determine how the physical world, which includes our body, responds to us. With this book, Dr. Koppen hopes to provide us with some tools that can help us adjust our thought and feeling patterns in a way that will invoke a new response from our earthly environment. We can then replace our old programs of self-inflicted suffering and illness with a more expanded outlook on life, which will bring us new hope and happiness, as well as healing to our human family and our planet. We all know how much this is needed at this time. About the author Robert N. Koppen, MD, born in Amsterdam, began his career in ear, nose, and throat surgery before shifting his focus to mind-body medicine. After studying the body-mind-spirit connection in Holland, England, and the U.S., he has spent more than 26 years in Scottsdale, Arizona helping clients release emotional and mental patterns that contribute to physical illness. His work includes emotional release therapy, spiritual counseling, and international phone-based consultations. He is honored by Marquis Who's Who.

It's so important in life to know what is valuable and to know that some people can turn things of no value into things of value. Justin Gignac salvaged trash after the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey wedding at Madison Square Garden. There was a lot of trash. He picked up things like cigarette butts, bent up programs, and candy wrappers. He put them in plastic bags and sold them for $25 apiece. He took trash and turned it into a small treasure. That's what God can do with our lives. He takes situations that are tough for us to handle and uses them to become stepping stones to something better. Let Him show you how He can change a problem into a possibility, and how He can take what you consider trash and turn it into a treasure.

Send us Fan MailThis is the second most listened to episode of The Kindness Matters Podcast. A tent city on the news can be easy to scroll past. For Rob Bergfalk, it became the moment he could not ignore, and it grew into Compassion Church and Compassion Coffee in Anoka, Minnesota. We talk with Rob about what it really looks like to feel “called” to something, and how purpose becomes tangible when you build a place where people who are often overlooked are seen, known, and supported.Rob walks us through the long, careful path from 2018 to launching the church in 2021, including why they chose suburban Anoka, how proximity to shelters shaped the mission, and how a coffee shop can be more than a business. We dig into the nuts and bolts of the model: starting with a coffee cart, learning through community events, then opening a permanent coffeehouse that serves high-quality local coffee while creating a stable environment for connection.The most powerful part is the work behind the counter. Compassion Coffee hires people affected by homelessness and focuses on both job training and life skills: barista skills, customer service, safety and sanitation, budgeting, meal planning, and navigating conflict. We also explore why partnerships with organizations like Hope for Youth, Stepping Stone, and Family Promise matter, and why humility and listening often do more than “playing hero.”If you care about homelessness solutions, community partnerships, social enterprise, faith-based outreach, or workforce development, you'll leave with a clearer picture of what help can look like on an ordinary street.

The nonprofit Stepping Stones Alliance formed in 2020 to provide a year-round shelter for people experiencing homelessness in and around Umatilla County. The organization partnered with several cities and the county to build a temporary housing project, which opened in 2023. The facility includes an overnight shelter, as well as individual shelter units where “members” can receive wraparound services while seeking more permanent housing.   We’ll hear more about how the project is going from Executive Director Jesalyn Cole, who took us on a tour of the site. We’ll also talk with member Sean Scanlon, who came to Stepping Stones last year.

What if physical symptoms and gut feelings can guide you on your life's path? In this episode, host Dara Levan sits down with multi-published author Annie Cathryn to discuss her upcoming novel Now Eat the Cake, why she started her own indie press Moon Ray Books at 50, and how eczema disappeared the moment she made an aligned decision. Annie shares her marketing secrets for authors who hate self-promotion, why a cat is called a "familiar," and how writing grief helped her heal. You'll learn three key takeaways: how to differentiate growth-oriented obstacles from energetic blocks, why turning 50 is a privilege to be celebrated, and mindset shifts.

Buying a flat used to be a stepping stone to owning a house – but has this all changed?Research is telling us that the gap in price between flats and houses has hit a 30 year high. According to the property platform Zoopla, so far this this year two-thirds of one and two-bedroom flats listed for sale still haven't been sold. The leasehold system in England is being blamed, in large part, for the declining popularity of flats. There are concerns about the length of leases and the maintenance and service charges often involved when owning a flat. The Government is in the process of introducing new measures to deal with some of these issues. So today we're asking - what does buying a flat mean for your finances? Maybe you live in one and love it! Perhaps your children do? Or are you struggling to sell and feeling a bit flattened? Presenter Felicity Hannah puts listeners' questions and concerns to an expert panel. Polly Gilbert is a director at the digital mortgage brokers Tembo, and Liam Spender is a trustee at the Leasehold Knowledge Partnership.

If you live in a city, you've probably had that moment in the middle of the night. You hear a scratching in the walls, or you catch the glowing eyes of a raccoon peering out from a dumpster, and for a second, the concrete world feels a lot less 'controlled' than we like to pretend. We've been taught to think of cities as 'biological deserts'—places where nature goes to die. But my guest today, Dan Werb, says that's a myth we tell ourselves to feel safe. Dan is an award-winning epidemiologist and a musician, and in his new book, Our Wild Familiars, he explores the 'synanthropes'—the wild creatures that aren't our pets, but aren't quite strangers either. They are the coyotes, the bats, and even the octopuses that are learning to use our cities as laboratories for their own rapid evolution.

What if the smartest distance in running isn't the marathon, but the race most people treat like a stepping stone?The half marathon is one of the most misunderstood distances in running. Some runners treat it as a stepping stone to something bigger, while others never realize just how challenging and rewarding it can be on its own. In this episode, I break down the five different types of half marathon runners, the mindset shifts that separate them, and why the half marathon may be the sweet spot for improving performance, staying healthy, and enjoying the sport for years to come. Whether you're chasing a personal best, thinking about moving up to the marathon, or simply trying to become a smarter runner, you'll walk away with a new perspective on what 13.1 miles can teach you about training, racing, recovery, and long-term progress.Key TakeawaysThe way you approach the half marathon says a lot about your mindset as a runner. Understanding where you are today can help you make better decisions about where you want to go next.A properly raced half marathon is far more demanding than many runners realize. It requires smart training, strong pacing, and the ability to stay uncomfortable for a long time.The best runners aren't always the ones chasing the biggest challenges. They're often the ones choosing goals that allow them to improve consistently, recover well, and keep running strong for decades.Timestamps[00:39] What You'll Learn[02:13] Level 1: The Tourist[03:17] Use This to Run a Faster Half Marathon[03:56] Level 2: The Stepping Stone[05:40] Level 3: The Best Time Hunter[07:51] Level 4: The Serial Half Racer[09:38] Level 5: The Enlightened One[11:45] Run a Faster Half With ThisLinks & Learnings

This week on our Deep Space episode, Maria speaks with ⁠⁠⁠TransAstra's CEO Joe Sercel about their recently demonstrated capture-bag technology aboard the ISS, drawing attention for its potential role in orbital debris cleanup. Debris removal is only the beginning. The real goal is far bigger: asteroid mining as future space infrastructure. Sercel walks us through how the same capture system designed to safely enclose debris could eventually be used to secure near-Earth asteroids—unlocking access to water, propellant, and raw materials that enable sustained operations beyond Earth orbit..

What happens when a Hollywood insider faces career-ending setbacks, cancer, and a Parkinson's diagnosis all while refusing to give up? In this episode of Productivity Smarts, Gerald J. Leonard chats with Tommy Burke, a film and TV veteran who turned some of life's hardest punches into stepping stones. From getting kicked off a film set early in his career to working alongside stars like Ben Affleck and Johnny Depp, Tommy shares how grit and persistence became his superpowers and how those same traits help him face Parkinson's head-on. Gerald and Tommy dig into the real, everyday side of resilience. Tommy talks about why staying busy can be a survival strategy, how he flipped a career-ending rejection into a turning point, and the daily habits like exercising and sticking to a strict routine that keep him moving when life feels unpredictable. Drawing from stories in his book, Tommy also shares the secrets of smart networking, why he shows up in shorts and a button-up to doctor's appointments, and how he turned a life of nonstop hustle into a mission to inspire others.

Atomic Eagle CEO Phil Hoskins stated: “To deliver a 24% increase in total resources from our maiden drill program – and to do so at a cost of just US$0.05 per pound – is a strong endorsement of our exploration approach and the potential scale of the uranium resources across our Muntanga Project area. This resource upgrade is a great start to achieving the Exploration Target we announced for the Project late last year. The Company aims to materially increase the mineral resource to underpin a significantly larger uranium mine in Zambia. We're embarking on the largest drill program for the Project in almost 20 years later this month and we see clear scope for this program to significantly expand the Project's resource inventory and unlock further value for shareholders.” https://atomiceagle.com.au/ ASX: AEU - OTCQB: AEUXF Press Release Discussed: https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/AEU/03063707.pdf 00:00 Intro 00:26 Resource Up 24% 02:12 Why This Project 03:55 New Targets Ahead 05:43 Low-Cost Uranium Drilling 08:40 Feasibility Study Re Release 10:34 Peers 11:41 North America Roadshow 12:53 Nigeria Asset Update 14:30 ETF Inclusion Sponsor Atomic Eagle pays MSE a United States dollar ten thousand per month coverage fee.

Awareness Explorers episode 209: Neelam, Guest Explorer In this episode we talk to Neelam about her awakening with H.W.L. Poonja, known as Papaji, the role of trust in awakening, how the nervous system's capacity to be present is the "missing link" between a desire for truth and the ability to experience it, and how a true feeling of "okayness" enables us to rest in our true nature. •Includes a guided meditation leading us to the direct experience of presence by noticing the spaciousness that is already here and has always been here, thereby nurturing the growing capacity of the nervous system to rest in presence.

EPISODE DESCRIPTIONEpisode DescriptionIn this episode of the Lead Ministry Podcast, Josh Denhart and Bill Van Kirk explore why every ministry event should lead somewhere — not end at a dead end. They unpack the concept of events as stepping stones across a river, moving people from first-time guests to committed members. They also introduce a breadcrumb analogy, showing how a thoughtful sequence of events can guide families through a clear pathway toward deeper engagement. If you have ever planned an event and wondered what comes next, this episode will equip you with a strategic framework for year-round event planning.Key Topics CoveredEvents as Stepping Stones — Why each event should connect to the next, creating a natural pathway from guest to committed memberThe Breadcrumb Strategy — How to lay out a series of appealing events that guide people through a forest of unfamiliarity toward deeper church involvementBuilding Familiarity — Practical ways to reduce the "deer in the headlights" experience for newcomers at your churchThe Six Parts of an Event (Airplane Model) — Leadership, volunteers, promotion, going live, follow-up, and recoveryGathering Contact Information — Why collecting info at events is non-negotiable for effective follow-upCalendar Strategy — How to space events at a natural human rhythm, avoiding gaps that are too large or too smallKey Quote"The event isn't the event. The event is meeting their deepest needs. An event is nothing but an excuse to develop relationships and a level of consistency."Scripture ReferencesPsalm 34:8 — "Taste and see that the Lord is good." (referenced in breadcrumb analogy)TakeawayStop thinking of events as standalone experiences. Start viewing them as strategic stepping stones that move people from their first visit toward genuine connection with the body of Christ. Map your entire year of events and make sure each one promotes the next.Call to ActionWe hope this episode encourages and equips you.

To get started today, I would like to share a personal story about my daughter, Olivia. Olivia's story relates to our theme of setbacks and using them as stepping stones.You may not know this, but Olivia was born was a hair condition that limits hair growth. Olivia is gorgeous exactly as God made her, but as she is getting older, she asked me for a hair piece so she can have longer hair. Olivia's request scared me, and I wondered if this was too soon (she's 7) and we needed to wait. Yet, Olivia persisted. She asked me for a hairpiece for months and months. I finally said ok and took her to get the partial wig. When she wore the hairpiece to school the first day, it was really challenging and scary. It was so scary that Olivia decided to take off the wig. This represents her setback. But this isn't the end of the story. Olivia faced her fear and setback and did something with it. She took a few hours to gather her strength and then put the wig on herself. In front of her friends and peers. When I asked her what made her put the wig on, she said her heart told her so. I share that because that's what we're talking about. You can use a setback as a springboard for growth. My guest, Athena Brownson, knows all about this in her own life.During our discussion, Athena and I chatted about:How she kept going after extensive skiing injuriesHer diagnosis with Lyme DiseaseThe modalities she used to support her healingWhat resilience means to Athena and how she used her setback as a springboard for growthHer advice for women who are experiencing their own personal challenges and setbacksHere is more about Athena:Athena Brownson is a living testament to the power of resilience and reinvention. A former professional skier who endured nine kneesurgeries and two neck operations, Athena's greatest challenge came when she was diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease—a debilitating condition that left her bedridden for months. Yet, instead of letting thesesetbacks define her, Athena used them to fuel her purpose, transforming pain into strength and obstacles into opportunities.Now a thriving entrepreneur and advocate for resilience, Athena empowers audiences to navigate life's challenges with grit, authenticity, and purpose. She teaches how to embrace change, build balance, and align your career and life with your values. Drawing from her journey, Athena inspires others to redefine success, build their "why," and cultivate the mindset needed to overcome adversity and achieve meaningful growth.If the Brave Women at Work Podcast has helped you personally or professionally, please share it with a friend, colleague, or family member.

In this special flip episode, I join my friend Danielle Amos for a grounded, honest conversation about growth, leadership, and what it really looks like to build a business that supports your life—not consumes it. We talk about redefining success beyond hustle, releasing the pressure to constantly do more, and creating sustainable rhythms that honor both ambition and wellbeing. I share how my own definition of success has evolved over the years, why capacity matters more than speed, and how clarity, boundaries, and intentional choices create long-term impact. Danielle and I explore the mindset shifts required to scale without burnout, lead with integrity, and trust that slowing down can actually move you forward faster. This episode is for the woman who wants to grow with intention, lead with peace, and build something meaningful that lasts—without sacrificing herself in the process. Liked this episode?

You're hiding it because it is the way that you have learned to protect yourself. So let yourself off the hook with that. And now is the time that you can start. 'Cause now you're aware.
