In this episode:I talk with psychologist Dr. Nahal Delpassand about chronic illness, invisible conditions, and the pressure many high-achieving women feel to constantly push through discomfort. We discuss how to better listen to your body, separate your identity from your health challenges, and shift from always trying to “fix” yourself toward a more balanced and sustainable approach to wellness.Dr. Nahal Delpassand is a licensed psychologist based in Austin, Texas, with nearly a decade of experience in private practice. She has particular expertise in working with individuals navigating chronic illness, disability, and the psychological implications of infertility. Her philosophy is rooted in collaboration, empathy, and the belief that even in times of distress, people carry strengths that can be reactivated for growth and healing. She encourages clients to “pause, reflect, and understand themselves more fully,” creating a therapeutic space for sustainable change.Links mentioned during this episode:Dr. Delpassand's book: https://littletreestories.com/Dr. Delpassand's website: https://www.drnahaldelpassand.com/Free Initial Consultation with Dr. Megan: https://p.bttr.to/3a9lfYkLyons' Share Instagram: www.instagram.com/thelyonsshareJoin Megan's newsletter: www.thelyonsshare.org/newsletter

You've been taught to fight. To prayer harder, fast longer, declare louder, do more. But what if that approach is hurting not helping? In this episode, Kyle explores four grace-based spiritual warfare strategies that will completely reframe how you think about the devil, starting with a revelation buried in Colossians 2 that most churches never talk about.

Kate Zigrang is an advocate, entrepreneur, impact investor, and the founder of Viva Voce — a size-inclusive fashion marketplace and community rooted in body justice. But before we get to what she's built, we go back to where it all started.In this first part of a two-episode conversation, Kate takes us through her personal history with her body — from watching her mom navigate the world in a larger body and absorbing the shame that surrounded her, to puberty changing her own body in ways she wasn't prepared for, to a disordered relationship with food that developed in her late teens and went unnamed for years. We also get into her OCD diagnosis at 31 — more than a decade after onset — and what it meant to finally have language for what her brain had been doing all along.This is a conversation about the things diet culture teaches us before we're old enough to question them, and what it actually takes to unlearn them.We talk about:*Growing up watching her mom be treated as a problem to be fixed, and inheriting that shame before she had words for it*How her body changed at puberty while she was already carrying that inherited weight*The food rules in her home growing up, the restriction and binge cycle they created, and how it planted seeds for a disordered relationship with food*Moving away from home at 21, marriage, pregnancy, and her body changing again in ways that felt out of her control*The wellness journey — naturopathic doctors, juice cleanses, a month-long juice fast, and crying in the shower*Getting an OCD diagnosis at 31 and finally understanding what her brain had been doing since she was a teenager*A doctor who told her, simply, that she was healthy — and how much that cracked open*Finding Maintenance Phase, Aubrey Gordon, and Fearing the Black Body by Sabrina Strings, and what it meant to finally have the research match what she'd livedFind Kate and Viva Voce at vivavoce.live and on Instagram @vivavoce.live.Books mentioned: What We Don't Talk About When We Talk About Fat by Aubrey Gordon; Fearing the Black Body by Sabrina StringsGet 40% off of your Hungryroot order with code abbie40Support the show: Enjoying this podcast?

Have you ever lain awake at 4am, counting down the hours of sleep you're losing and planning for all the worst case scenarios? In this solo episode, Eileen shares the mindset shift that changed everything for her, from fighting her circumstances to finding the gift within what she cannot change.Drawing on a sleepless early morning, the chaos of listing her house for sale, and the wisdom of the turning seasons, Eileen explores one of the most important distinctions she returns to again and again: the difference between acceptance and resignation.Resignation makes us victims of our circumstances. Acceptance makes us orchestrators of them. But how do we actually get there without bypassing what's hard or pretending everything is fine?In this episode:-Why acceptance is not the same as giving up and why that distinction matters deeply-The practice of listening to your body and actually acting on what she's asking for-How aligning with the natural rhythms of the seasons supports surrender and trust-What a 4am wake-up taught Eileen about equanimity, presence, and self-compassion-Why this time of year (Bealtaine through Summer Solstice) tends to disrupt sleep and how to work with it rather than against it"Resignation turns us into victims of our circumstance. Acceptance turns us into orchestrators of our circumstance."Join Eileen for a Summer Solstice Ceremony June 19th, 2026 (in-person in Calgary + online) Take the Which Witch Are You QuizOrder Awaken to the Magic WithinConnect with Eileen on InstagramFollow Eileen on Insight TimerSend Eileen an email

What if the life you want is only 52 days away? Not 52 months. Not 52 years. 52 days. That's how long it took Nehemiah to rebuild walls that sat in ruin for 140 years. Not because he had more resources. Because he stopped normalizing the ruin and started building. In this message, Pastor Eric Thomas delivers one of the most direct, no-excuses sermons of the year. Using the story of Nehemiah, the reality of financial freedom, and raw testimony about structure, systems, and standards, ET breaks down the real reason your life is still broken. It's not because it's too hard to fix. It's because you've normalized it. You didn't ask for the trauma. You didn't choose the betrayal. You didn't knock your own walls down. But 140 years later, you're still standing in the rubble. And God is asking you one question: when are you going to rebuild? Your norm determines your outcomes — not your prayers. You can pray all you want, but if your environment, your habits, and your circle are still operating in 140-year dysfunction, nothing changes. God is calling you out of the 140 and into the 52. Out of survival mode and into builder mode. Out of excuses and into execution. In this message you'll discover: → Why 52 days is not a timeline, it's an identity → The difference between normalizing ruin and normalizing rebuilding → Why your norm determines your outcomes, not your prayers → How to stop fighting the people God sent to help you → The real reason you've been protecting your old normal → Why financial, relational, and spiritual freedom all come down to one word: standards

The argument between Ken and Lima spills completely off the rails as they try to answer one simple question: what would it actually take for Cleveland fans to care about this Cavs team again? Ken keeps landing on the answer that LeBron James set an impossible standard that no version of this roster will ever meet, while Lima pushes back that demanding a top-three player in the league just to generate excitement is a insane bar for any fan base to set. Coach Lance adds some actual credibility to the Watson-over-Shedeur conversation in the middle of everything, making the case that a veteran quarterback knowing a new offense gives the Browns a real head start heading into the fall. Charles Barkley calling the Cavs quitters on national television at halftime does not help anyone's mood, and the question of whether Atkinson survives the week hangs over the whole morning.

This episode is an interview with my husband, Jake, about his path from well-founded skepticism of Pathological Demand Avoidance to fully changing his parenting to support our two PDA sons, and how that has helped all three of them.This conversation is for parents who aren't sure about PDA, their partners who are, and everyone who has wondered what it actually looks like to shift the paradigm as the "non-lead" parent. Jake talks about the enforcer role he played, dreading coming home from work, what brought him to shift his perspective, and how he took action to change his relationships with his sons.Key Takeaways Why Non-Lead Parents Lag and Why That Is Not a Deficiency | 00:10:01 Jake explains that his skepticism about pathological demand avoidance came from the same place as his desire to be a good father: wanting his son to be okay long after he was gone. He names the specific experience of not being present enough during the day to witness what Casey was witnessing, the cognitive dissonance of a child who could race through Halloween trick-or-treating and then suddenly be unable to walk, and the ease with which behaviors that look manipulative can be written off as such. He is clear that lagging does not make a parent deficient. It makes them human.What the Enforcer Role Actually Felt Like | 00:24:12 Jake describes placing himself in the role of the disciplinarian and enforcer when Cooper was young, trying strict and punitive approaches consistently enough to know they were not working. He reflects on the moments when Cooper would submit, and how even those felt awful because he was a grown adult overpowering a four-year-old. He names the specific appeal of the pathological demand avoidance approach as not just intellectual but personal: he did not want to be that kind of dad, and the relational damage it was doing to his connection with Cooper was undeniable.Dreading 5PM and the Second Arrow | 00:43:44 Jake describes a period when he went from counting down the hours to the end of the workday to dreading them, knowing he was walking back into a home where the kids were dysregulated, Casey was stretched to her limit, and there was no joy. He names the second arrow clearly: feeling like a dad who dreads his own family, and then feeling guilty for that. He offers this not as a confession but as something he suspects many non-lead parents are sitting with quietly.The Trampoline Commitment and What It Built | 00:44:23 Jake shares a concrete example of how he found a way into connection with Cooper during burnout: committing to saying yes every time Cooper asked to go on the trampoline, even though the activity involved Cooper lying there while Jake jumped for twenty minutes. He frames it honestly as work, not fun fatherhood. But he also describes how, when his legs gave out and he lay down next to his son and started pointing at clouds, the small moments of connection began to accumulate. This type of commitment, he says, may be available to other parents who work full days and only have evenings.Vulnerability With Other Dads and the Masculinity Frame | 00:29:46 Jake reflects on coaching Cooper's tackle football team and the specific difficulty of needing other coaches to understand that Cooper's meltdowns were not a measure of his commitment or character, while knowing that a full explanation of Pathological Demand Avoidance would not land. He names the fear of judgment, and the discomfort of demonstrating vulnerability in a context that did not historically make space for it. He frames the masculine enforcer archetype as a stereotype that most men do not actually identify with but feel bound by because breaking it is a risk.Relevant ResourcesUnderstanding PDA — Free class with the foundational context that Jake describes eventually coming to through lived experienceBurnout — Free class relevant to the burnout phases with both Cooper and William that Jake discusses throughoutParadigm Shift Program — Our signature program where Jake hosts three live sessions specifically for non-lead parents

What if everyone you call your enemy that coworker, that ex, that "village person," that ops was never actually your enemy in the first place? In this episode of PF Unfiltered, Pastor Femi breaks down spiritual warfare in a way most churches won't touch. From "ops" at work to ancestral curses to the witches your aunties warned you about, this conversation cuts through the noise and gets to what the devil is actually after and it's not your car, your job, or your marriage.PF unpacks the difference between *generational curses* (broken at the cross) and *generational trauma* (real, but not spiritual), why "rebuking witches" misses the point, and the one move the enemy keeps tricking believers into making. The crew also gets into the 613 laws nobody can keep, why religion is more dangerous than sin, what the Prince of Persia has to do with your prayer life, and the headless-chicken theology that'll change how you think about every spiritual attack you've ever feared.If you grew up praying against witches, ancestral curses, and "the spirit of your father's house" this episode is the one.

In this episode, Alex is joined by Professor Kalina Christoff Hadjiilieva, Professor of Psychology at the University of British Columbia and one of the world's leading researchers on the neuroscience of thought.We explore why our relationship with thought may be one of the most important factors in our wellbeing. Kalina explains why spontaneous thought — mind-wandering, daydreaming, creativity and even dreaming — is far more important than modern productivity culture often allows.We discuss  the difference between healthy mind-wandering and repetitive rumination, and what happens in the brain seconds before a thought enters conscious awareness. We also explore meditation, the unconscious mind, creativity, habits of thought, the cost of avoiding the past, and how we can begin to build a better relationship with our own minds.Interviewed by Dr. Alex Curmi.

You know that feeling when you've been trying to release something for a long time and it just keeps coming back?  I've been there more times than I can count, wondering what I was doing wrong. Well, my friend Danielle LaPorte is back on the show and she gave me one of those mind glown moments I wasn't expecting. If you're watching, I give it away with my facial reaction. She said that the whole idea of letting go as we've been taught is actually working against us, because energetically, we can't destroy what we're feeling. We can only transform it (and that's everything).  Tune in to learn exactly how to do this, from her newest book, Bless and Release. We also go deep into her centering practice, which she leads live in the episode and involves working with color and vibration as real healing tools. It's beautiful and one of my favorite parts of this episode. We talk about free will versus divine blueprint, what's quietly cluttering your auric field, and she says something about joy and the divine that I think you're going to want to write on a sticky note and put on your mirror. I love growing, learning, transforming, and flourishing together. We're not meant to do life alone, and I hope you know I'm grateful for you!   Get Danielle's newest book:

What if the reason your church isn't growing is that you're fighting against who you actually are? In this episode, we tackle one of the most misunderstood topics in church planting and church growth: the power of owning your church's brand. We explore why contextualization that's celebrated on the mission field gets criticized in the local church, and what the New Testament actually says about picking a lane and reaching a specific people. Whether you lead a small church, a multisite, or you're in the early stages of planting, this conversation will challenge how you think about mission, identity, and sustainable church growth.

Humanity was delivered over to sin, corruption, and separation from God, yet “God turned His Son over for sinners.” Romans 8:32 becomes the great reversal of Romans 1. Jesus was delivered over so humanity could be redeemed and restored. “The cross settled forever whether God is for you.” The greatest gift has already been given in Christ, which means God will faithfully provide everything necessary to carry believers from justification to glorification. The goal is not merely comfort or success, but conformity to the image of Jesus. Many believers live with an anxious attachment to God, assuming silence, suffering, or struggle means the relationship is unstable. Romans 8 argues the exact opposite. “Spiritually, many believers approach God this way, assuming suffering, weakness, or failure means God is pulling away from them, while Romans 8 is arguing the exact opposite.” The Father justifies, the Son intercedes, and the Spirit assures believers that they belong to God. The courtroom imagery of Romans 8 reveals that the verdict has already been declared. God is the Judge who justified His people, Christ is the interceding advocate, and the accusations of the enemy cannot reopen a settled case. “Stop fighting a closed case.” Confidence in God does not come from perfect performance, but from trusting the finished work of Christ. The call is to stop trying to earn relationship with God and instead walk confidently as sons and daughters who are already loved, already pursued, and already welcomed into the family of God. As you reflect on this message this week, consider the following: “The courtroom is not waiting for a verdict. God has already spoken in Christ.” Reflect on the areas of your life where you still live as though you are on trial before God. What would it look like to stop fighting a closed case and rest in the justification Christ has already secured for you? Romans 8:32 says, “He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?” Consider how the cross answers the question of whether God is for you. Are there disappointments, fears, or unanswered prayers that have caused you to question God's faithfulness? God is not asking His children to constantly earn His approval, but to walk confidently as sons and daughters who belong to Him. Reflect on where fear, insecurity, or striving have kept you from serving others, trusting God, or stepping into your calling this week. The post Stop Fighting a Closed Case appeared first on Revival Life Church Boca Raton, FL.

Money conversations can feel loaded… emotional… sometimes even explosive.And for most couples, money only gets talked about when something goes wrong.In this episode, I'm sharing a powerful conversation with Ramit Sethi, author of I Will Teach You to Be Rich, about how the language we use around money shapes our relationships.Instead of asking reactive questions like “Why did you spend that?” or “How are we going to pay this off?,” Ramit challenges couples to focus on the bigger picture: the life they actually want to build together.He introduces the idea of a “Rich Life Review”—a simple monthly conversation where you and your partner look at key numbers, celebrate wins, and talk about your goals.Because the real problem isn't the $20 purchases couples argue about…It's that we rarely ask the $30,000 questions that shape our future.If you've ever felt awkward or stuck talking about money with your partner, this episode will give you a framework to start healthier, more productive conversations—and design a life you're truly excited to live.Click play to hear all of this and:[00:00] Why most couples only talk about money when there's a problem[02:00] How the language we use about money shapes our relationships[03:45] Why Ramit believes most couples argue about the wrong financial issues[05:00] The difference between $3 questions and $30,000 life questions[06:20] What a “Rich Life Review” is (and why it replaces budgeting meetings)[07:30] The simple framework for a monthly money conversation with your partner[09:00] The four key financial numbers every couple should track[10:30] How focusing on big-picture goals transforms money conversations

Most women don't struggle with change because they're weak. They struggle because no one taught them how to use it.They white-knuckle through transitions, waiting for things to settle before they make a move. Waiting to feel ready. Waiting for clarity. Waiting for the dust to land, and calling it being patient, being practical, being smart.But what if the season that feels like it's disrupting you is actually designing you?This episode is about learning to stop fighting where you are and start building from it. Because the shift you're resisting might be the exact thing that's been preparing you all along.We chat:Why most women waste their seasons in survival mode instead of strategy modeThe difference between waiting for change to pass and actually using itHow to make intentional moves when everything around you feels uncertainWhy your identity — not your hustle — is your most underutilized assetWhat it looks like to stop outsourcing your next chapter to circumstances, timing, or other peopleAnd yes, something BIG is launching today.Identity to Income is officially live!!! It's the mentorship I created for the woman who knows she's more than what she's currently building, and is ready to turn who she is into how she earns, leads, and lives.If this resonates and you're ready to go deeper, building the identity, the brand, and the income that actually supports the life you're designing, I created a mentorship called Identity to Income where I help women do exactly that.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You believed spring would feel different this year. But instead, you're standing in a checkout line, sitting at a stoplight, scrolling through your feed — and there it is. A graduation picture. A cap and gown. A family celebrating what's next. And the thought shows up before you can stop it: My child should be here for this. If spring has felt heavier than you expected, this episode is for you. In this conversation, Teresa unpacks why this time of year can feel so loud for grieving moms — not loud in noise, but loud in what it's reminding you of. She walks you through what's really happening underneath that feeling that life is moving forward without you, and why your grief doesn't follow the same timeline as the season around you. Inside this conversation, you'll discover: When Two Realities Meet: Why spring doesn't just bring sadness — it brings the painful reality between the life your heart is still holding and the life happening right in front of you. The Identity Layer Nobody Talks About: How spring milestones don't just remind you of what your child missed — they remind you of the version of you that didn't get to exist either. What Is Really Keeping You Stuck: Why the heaviness you're feeling this spring may not be coming from where you think. Permission to Walk at Your Own Pace: What it looks like to say "this is too much for me this year" without guilt, without explanation, and without apology. Rooted, Not Racing: Why your hope doesn't come from keeping up with what's moving around you — it comes from who lives inside you.

You believe with everything in you that your child is in heaven, yet you still wake up with a heaviness on your chest that won't go away.  It's the question so many grieving moms carry in the quiet: "If I really believe they are with Jesus, why does it still hurt this much?"This internal tug-of-war can leave you feeling like your faith isn't strong enough or that you're failing at a journey you never asked to be on. In this episode, we're peeling back the layers of that spiritual guilt to look at the messy middle ground where deep faith and deep sorrow coexist. You'll see why your tears aren't a sign of weak belief, but a testament to a love that was meant to last a lifetime. Inside this conversation, you'll discover: The "Spiritual Vice Grip": How the pressure to "do better" in your grief actually keeps you from the peace you're searching for. A Lesson from the Pinto: What a vintage hymnal and a broken car door taught me about surrendering the things we cannot control. The Worship of Silence:  Why the new The Resurrection of a King project by Tommee Profitt and K-LOVE is meeting grieving hearts in a way words can't. Truth vs. Sorrow: Why the hope of the resurrection doesn't actually cancel out the ache of today's absence.  Dear grieving mom, you don't have to choose between your hope in heaven and the reality of your hurt. Press play and let's sit in that space together, reminding your heart that Jesus is standing right there in the middle of the ache with you.

You wake up, and it's still real. The house is quiet, the weight is still there, and your child is still not walking beside you. And in that space, it can feel like nothing has changed… like death had the final word. But what if that's not actually true? In this episode, we come to the turning point of the Easter story—the resurrection—and what it means for you right now, not just someday. Not just a future hope, but a present truth you can begin to hold onto, even in the middle of your grief. In this episode, you'll learn… what the resurrection really changed—and why it matters for your grief today how to hold both the reality of your loss and the truth that death did not win why what feels like separation is not the full story in Christ where your hope can rest when everything still feels heavy If today feels overwhelming, if your heart feels tired, or if you're struggling to reconcile what you believe with what you're experiencing… this conversation will meet you right there. You are not alone in this. God has not stepped away from you in your grief, and because Jesus is alive, there is more to your story than what you can see right now. Press play when you're ready, friend.  

Don't Stop Fighting for Your Clients: Turning an Underwriting “No” Into a “Yes”Matt Dietz of Agency Launch shares a story about fighting for a longtime client whose nearly $3M home policy jumped from $16,000 to $22,000 annually and was quoted $10,000 less elsewhere during a refinance. Matt investigates why his carrier had the home ineligible due to an outdated fire protection class, confirms it should be an 8 instead of a 9, and works with his district manager and another department to get an exception approved by providing a fire chief letter and home photos. After negotiating deductibles (rejecting a 2% deductible) he secures coverage with a $10,000 deductible and lower premium, creating additional savings when the home re-attaches to the client's autos. He emphasizes persistence, building internal relationships, and being patient and kind to get to “yes.”00:00 Welcome to Agency Launch00:20 Free Resources Text Line00:46 Story Setup Fight for Clients00:57 The Big Premium Shock02:32 Checking Protection Class03:21 Underwriting Evidence Needed05:24 Fire Chief Follow Up Crunch06:13 Deductible Negotiation Win07:32 Lessons Build Relationships09:23 Offers Courses Coaching Outro

There is a heavy, hollow space in the Easter story that we often rush past, but for a grieving mom, it's the place where we live every day. It's the "messy middle" between the cross and the resurrection—the silent Saturday where what you hoped for didn't happen, and what you're left holding feels impossibly heavy. If you've ever felt like heaven has gone quiet since the death of your child, you are not as alone as you feel.   In this episode, we step together into that sacred, quiet space where God seems distant and the journey feels too long to endure. You'll hear a story that reminds us how a simple shift in perspective can change everything, even when the pain remains the same.   Inside this conversation, we'll explore together: The significant difference between God's silence and His absence in your grief journey. Why the "Saturday" of your story is the hardest place to sit, and how Jesus personally understands that isolation. The subtle shift that happens when you stop walking into the unknown and start walking toward home. How to find the strength to lift your head when the weight of child loss feels like more than you can bear. You don't have to figure out the "why" of the silence today. You only need to know that the road home does not lead to despair—it leads to life, restoration, and the arms of a Father who has never left your side. Take a deep breath and join me for part four of our Easter series; let's find the path home together.                

It can feel like death made a decision for you… like a line was drawn and someone you love is now on the other side of it. When your child is no longer walking beside you, it doesn't just feel painful—it feels final. Like no one stopped it. Like death had the last word. But what if that's not the full story? In this episode, we step into what Jesus actually did when He faced death—and why that changes everything about how you see your child's story. If you've been trying to reconcile what you believe about God with what you've experienced, this conversation will meet you right in that tension and gently begin to shift it. In this episode, you'll discover… What it really means that Jesus chose death—and why that matters for you Why death feels like it has the final say… and what Scripture reveals instead How "it is finished" changes the way you understand your child's story The truth about separation, eternity, and what has already been settled If you've been struggling to make sense of the silence and the separation, I invite you to lean in today. You don't have to carry the weight of these questions alone, and you don't have to settle for easy answers. There is a hope that is stronger than the grave, and a Savior who has already settled the debt once and for all.

There is a moment seared into the memory of every grieving mom—the phone call, the diagnosis, or the knock on the door that shattered your world forever. In that moment, death isn't just a concept; it enters your story and brings with it a flood of agonizing questions about why the God you love didn't step in to protect your child.   If you feel like your faith has been shaken to the core, you are not alone in the tension of loving your Heavenly Father while suffering the deepest pain imaginable. This episode helps you navigate the confusing space where your reality doesn't match what you believed about God's protection, offering a different perspective on His compassion when the heavens feel silent.   Inside this conversation, you'll discover… The common struggle of reconciling a God who could have stopped the pain with a reality where He didn't. Why silence from Heaven is not the same as abandonment or absence. A powerful perspective from Psalm 57 on how God's rescue often looks different than ours. How to hold onto the truth of God's unchanging character even when you can't see His hand in your story. You don't have to carry the weight of these unspoken questions by yourself or rush to find easy answers that don't fit your heart. Come sit with me as we lean into the hard truths of this Easter season, remembering that even in the moments that feel like forsaking, His compassion is moving toward you.   

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim Fortin reveals that the external world is not the cause of our experience — it is the reflection of it. Every bank balance, health diagnosis, and relationship outcome mirrors the identity we carry within. We don't need to fight our circumstances; we need to change what we're projecting.   Jim explains why so many people stay stuck — not because life is against them, but because they keep trying to change the reflection without changing the face looking into the mirror. The shift he's calling listeners toward is moving from a 3D human identity defined by limitation to a spiritual identity rooted in divine mind, universal consciousness — what Jim simply calls God.   Stop punching the mirror. This episode offers the awareness and tools to finally change what's being reflected back. Listen and let it shift something. What You'll Discover in This Episode:  (00:00) The world is your mirror, not your enemy — Jim opens by reframing the foundational premise: our environment is not the cause of our problems but a reflection of our inner identity and consciousness.  (05:51) You can't change the mirror with the same identity — Why fighting your external circumstances only reaffirms the very identity that created them, and why the senses report reality rather than create it.  (11:09) Spiritual identity vs. 3D identity — Jim invites listeners to move beyond religious dogma and human limitation by asking: what if you identified as the ultimate power in the universe — as divine mind, as God?  (16:28) You are never at the mercy of your circumstances — A powerful distinction: we are never at the mercy of our circumstances, only at the mercy of our identity — and identity is something we can change.  (22:47) Think from the end, not to the end — Jim introduces the transformational question: "If this were already resolved, how would I feel right now?" — shifting consciousness from the problem to the resolution.  (29:37) Who are you willing to be before the evidence shows up? — The ultimate takeaway: begin conditioning yourself to identify as one with divine mind, working from that identity before the physical reality confirms it.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  Your circumstances are not your truth — they are your mirror, created by a past version of you. Stop reacting to the reflection. Ask: if this were already resolved, how would I feel? Hold that feeling, think from the end, and begin identifying as divine mind — as the ultimate power in the universe. Change what you project, and the mirror has no choice but to change what it reflects back.  Let's Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Body language sends signals we're often unaware of — and apparently, that includes your belly button. Where it points can subtly communicate interest, attention, and even attraction. This episode begins with the surprising message your belly button may be sending — and what you might be picking up from others without realizing it. Source: Janine Driver author of You Say More Than You Think (https://amzn.to/3SPYVwt). Have you ever eaten when you weren't hungry… or kept eating even though you were already full — and then wondered why you did that? Most people assume it's about willpower. It isn't. Dr. Jud Brewer explains what's really driving those urges and how to break the cycle without dieting, restriction, or guilt. He's a professor at Brown University's School of Public Health and author of The Hunger Habit: Why We Eat When We're Not Hungry and How to Stop.

We like to believe we're good at predicting the future — our careers, relationships, finances, and even how we'll feel.
