What happens when a seasoned debater embraces the compassionate lens of Nonviolent Communication (NVC)? In this episode, I'm joined by writer and commentator Margot Magowan, who has debated on Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, and Good Morning America—and now finds herself navigating the delicate intersection between advocacy and empathy. Margot shares her evolving journey from using sharp logic to influence others (including her daughter) to practicing deep empathic listening—and how that shift has transformed her family life. We explore what it's been like for her to integrate NVC into parenting, marriage, and public discourse. This conversation doesn't offer easy answers—and that's what makes it so rich. Margot is actively grappling with big questions: — Can NVC truly coexist with the drive to change minds—or change the world? — How do we speak with passion while still seeing the humanity in those we disagree with? — When is it time to listen, and when is it time to speak up? If you've ever wondered how to blend NVC with social change work—how to hold compassion for all people while staying rooted in your values—this episode is for you. About Margot Magowan: Margot is a writer and commentator whose work has appeared on Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Good Morning America, and other major media platforms. Her fiction is featured in the HarperCollins anthology Sugar In My Bowl. Today, she's passionate about Nonviolent Communication and supports other parents through NVC-based support groups and coaching.

Brendon Burchard will be at my life-changing annual event, The Summit of Greatness, happening September 12 & 13, 2025. Get your ticket today!Check out the full episode: greatness.lnk.to/1820"If you're broke, you're fighting for survival. If you're gonna break through, you're fighting for somebody else." - Brendon BurchardPicture this: Brendon Burchard looks over at the woman he loves, and she's literally sleeping under a pile of his unpaid bills. That image broke something open in him. For weeks, he'd been pretending to write, faking productivity while drowning in financial pressure. But seeing her carry the weight of his struggles? That night changed everything. He wrote for 18 straight days, emerging with a book that hit number one on Amazon and launched an empire of courses, seminars, and millions of copies sold. The breakthrough didn't come from willpower or motivation—it came from finding someone to fight for beyond himself.What Brendon discovered in that moment rewrites everything we think we know about pushing through obstacles. He reveals why self-doubt isn't actually the enemy (it's what you do when doubt shows up that matters), and breaks down the ZAPS cycle that keeps us stuck—how we zoom in on problems, attach our identity to failures, then punish ourselves into paralysis. This isn't about positive thinking or grinding harder. It's about the fundamental shift from fighting for survival to fighting for service, and why that transition unlocks a level of performance most people never access.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

There are some new (and old) faces on the left of British politics hoping to challenge Keir Starmer's struggling Labour government, but could a party to the left of Labour ever win power? His predecessor Jeremy Corbyn has setup a new party with another former Labour MP, Zarah Sultana, who has declared that “Labour is dead”. And the Green Party of England and Wales has elected eco-populist Zack Polanski, who is urging left-leaning voters to back him rather than waiting around for Corbyn's party to get off the ground. The journalist and political commentator Ash Sarkar has written a book called ‘Minority Rule', which argues that the Left has become bogged down in identity politics and needs to stop fighting the culture wars so it can focus on building a broad coalition of support.A contributing editor at left-wing media organisation Novara Media, Ash discusses the radical potential for a Marxist approach to contemporary British politics and why she thinks Karl Marx would've loved Twitter. She also talks to Amol about why she can't think of a ‘dumber group of people' than Keir Starmer's cabinet and what lies behind the recent success of Nigel Farage's Reform UK.

Why does surrender feel so hard — yet bring so much peace? In this episode, Father Columba explores what it really means to hand your life over to God. Instead of trying to control every outcome or carry every burden yourself, surrender opens the door for God to act in ways you never could. Discover how letting go isn't weakness but trust — and the surest remedy for stress, anxiety, and self-reliance.

Does anxiety make you feel like there is something wrong with you? It can feel uncomfortable, overpowering, something to manage or medicate away. We've been taught to see it as a flaw, a weakness, something broken that needs fixing. But treating anxiety as an adversary might be exactly what's making it worse.   In this episode, I'm exploring a radically different approach to anxiety—one that sees it not as something wrong with you, but as a sophisticated signal system trying to help. I share how anxiety functions like a check engine light or cybersecurity system, alerting you to threats to your physical, emotional, relational, or financial well-being. Through practical examples and a simple outside-inside approach, you'll discover how to decode what your anxiety is actually signaling.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/184

I've been soaking up this magical Leo season, picking berries at local farms and making plant infusions that feel like exactly what my body needs. It got me thinking about flow versus force - and how we've all been conditioned to swim upstream against our bodies instead of working with their natural wisdom.In this episode, I'm sharing what my garden taught me about healing, why I've made some bold boundary decisions in my practice, and how to move beyond the endless root cause hunting that keeps so many people stuck in health rabbit holes.I dive into a powerful case study of a 49-year-old client whose previous functional medicine approach had her on hormone precursors to "fix" imbalanced labs, while completely missing the terrain story her body was telling. When we looked at her hair mineral analysis and microbiome testing together, we discovered inflammation markers 10x normal, gut bacteria producing 318x normal levels of toxic methane gas, and a nervous system stuck in chronic threat detection mode.This is what happens when we treat symptoms instead of understanding terrain. Her minerals showed a body fighting systemic inflammation for months, while her gut revealed missing keystone species and an ecosystem completely out of balance. The internal pressure from this chaos showed up as sleepless nights, brain fog, vision issues, and that constant feeling of being overwhelmed by everything.This episode is a call-in for what I like to call the "conscious rebuilders" - people ready to stop fighting their bodies and start flowing with their innate wisdom. If you're tired of the endless testing cycles, supplement protocols that feel like warfare, and practitioners who treat your body like a broken machine, this conversation is for you.We talk about why minerals AND microbes must be addressed simultaneously, how to read your body's adaptation story instead of chasing root causes, and what it looks like to rebuild foundational terrain rather than just manage symptoms.My Minerals and Microbes program is evolving after over a year of working with this approach. I have spots available through August 9th at the current structure before it transforms to reflect everything I've learned about this deeper level of terrain restoration work.Ready to stop swimming upstream and start flowing with your body's wisdom?

What do you do when every conversation with your wife seems to go sideways, even when you're trying to do the right thing? John Heinen and Devin Schadt sit down to expose the hidden habits that slowly destroy communication within marriages. With spiritual clarity and lived experience, they unpack how small patterns, like avoidance, assumptions, or rushed “fixes/hacks", can consistently unravel trust between husband and wife. Instead of playing defense, this episode shows men 5 ways to take responsibility for the tone, clarity, and direction of the most important conversations in their home. We discuss how resentment breeds in the silent darkness of unmet needs. Because a Catholic husband doesn't just talk, he leads. And that starts with the next conversation.

Layci Nelson, founder of Transcend Leadership Collective, marks a decade of fostering people-centered workplaces. "You can't read the label from inside the jar" is a common quote from Layci. Her company works with leadership teams on people-centered approaches to create environments where employees are happy to be there and turn their whole brains on. She advises women leaders: don't chase seats at tables you're trying to flip. Instead, gather your 20% supporters to sway the 70% in the balance, ignore the 10% who will fight you, and never underestimate your own worth. Nelson's company prioritizes frontline impact, reflecting her belief that "everyone matters."

You know your body has a rhythm, but are you actually living in sync with it?In this solo episode, Blaine introduces the 24-hour Qi cycle from Traditional Chinese Medicine, a time-tested system that maps out how your body's energy moves throughout the day. This ancient framework overlaps with what we now understand through circadian biology and may explain a lot about your energy highs, afternoon crashes, and restless nights.Blaine walks through each two-hour window in the cycle, showing how your organs take turns leading the show, and what you can do to support their natural flow. From digestive ease in the early morning to deep repair during the overnight hours, this episode invites you to look at your day in a new light.Whether you're trying to sleep better, improve your focus, or simply feel more at ease in your body, aligning with this daily rhythm can be a powerful place to start.What she covers:The 12-organ meridian cycleEach organ system peaks during a specific two-hour window.

Like no matter how hard you try to push them away, they keep coming back, louder than ever? Maybe you deal with intrusive thoughts that feel terrifying, or you constantly overthink every decision. These thoughts can feel really overwhelming and they can seem to stop you from moving forward in life, from being happy, doing your work, or building relationships. If that sounds like you, then let me teach you an exercise that can help you break free from struggling with intrusive thoughts or overthinking. It's called the Passengers on the Bus metaphor from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

We all experience moments of hurt, frustration, or disappointment in relationship—but how do we address them without making things worse?  How can you talk about the things that bother you in a way that doesn't escalate the conflict or further damage the connection? In this episode, we'll explore the critical difference between intent and impact and why both matter. Most of the time, your partner is probably not trying to hurt you—they're trying to meet a need. But when the impact of their actions does hurt, that still really matters.  When you can talk about both the intent behind their actions AND the impact it had on you, you open up the possibility of not only deepening your understanding and strengthening your bond, but also finding solutions to the challenges in your relationship that genuinely work for both of you.  Tune in to episode 28 for actionable advice that will help you approach those painful moments with clarity, curiosity, and the tools you need to build a stronger + realer relationship, together. Your love story isn't broken—it's just waiting for a deeper, more compassionate conversation.   Resources mentioned in the show Free Mini-Course: The 4 Steps to Stop Any Fight Without Giving In: https://www.AliMillerCoaching.com/freeminicourse Get my free feelings and needs lists: https://www.alimillercoaching.com/feelingsandneeds Apply to join us for the Love Each Other Better: Group Coaching Program for Couples at https://www.alimillercoaching.com/groupprogram Apply for Stop Fighting!

James 4:1 so famously writes, “What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you?” It's not surprising that marriage is a hotbed for conflict. When you live so closely with someone else, it's easy to see their flaws, shortcomings, and mistakes in high definition. So what can you do to stop constantly fighting? In this special session from Reclaim 2024, Brad Rhoads shares what helped cut fighting and elevate fun in his marriage.

Segment 1: • Peacemaking vs. Reconciliation: Reconciliation is deeper than simply making peace—it's about restoring relationships. • Matthew 5 & James 4: Conflict stems from desires within, not just others' actions. True reconciliation begins with self-examination. • Key Takeaway: Biblical reconciliation requires heart transformation, not just resolving the issue on the surface. Segment 2: • Idolatrous Desires: Conflict often arises from selfish desires, like control or approval, that become idols in our lives. • Righteous Anger vs. Sinful Anger: Anger rooted in selfishness can lead to sin, even if initially justified. • Key Takeaway: Real peace comes from recognizing and surrendering our idolatrous desires to Christ, rather than managing conflict externally. Segment 3: • Ongoing Repentance: Repentance is a continual process for Christians—not just a one-time event. • Godly vs. Worldly Sorrow: True repentance leads to change; worldly sorrow focuses on consequences, not transformation. • Key Takeaway: Genuine repentance involves a heart change, turning toward righteousness, and repairing relationships. Segment 4: • Forgiveness vs. Moving On: True reconciliation requires forgiveness, not just moving past the conflict. • Attitudinal and Transactional Forgiveness: We must be ready to forgive, even without repentance, and offer full forgiveness when repentance occurs. • Key Takeaway: Biblical forgiveness mirrors God's forgiveness toward us—ready to forgive and restore, no matter the offense.
