Podcasts about Surrounded

When Elena decided on a homebirth at 37 weeks pregnant with her first baby, many people questioned her choice. Then, when her waters broke and the fluid was stained with meconium, it seemed to confirm everyone's fears. But Elena trusted herself. Despite advice to head to the hospital, she chose to remain at home with her birth team. Her baby was posterior, then became caught with a hand beside her face, leading Elena to spend labor doing squats on the stairs to help her baby find the best position to be born. Surrounded by positive birth affirmations, squeezing a comb through each contraction, and supported by her husband, midwife, and even her mom quietly documenting the journey from the hallway, Elena welcomed her 8 pound, 13 ounce daughter into the world at home. The story didn't end there. After the birth, the umbilical cord tore, resulting in a trip to the hospital and a brief NICU stay that brought moments of fear and uncertainty. Now, 18 months later, Elena reflects on a birth that wasn't pain-free or perfect, but was deeply empowering. She believes that preparing thoroughly, advocating for herself, and trusting her instincts made all the difference.

Some athletes spend years preparing for their breakthrough. Bisola Arowolo made hers happen in just a few seasons. In this episode of SportsLifeTalk's You Got Next, we sit down with one of the fastest-rising names in girls basketball, high school basketball recruiting, and the future of women's basketball. From picking up a basketball for the first time in eighth grade to becoming a Top 100 prospect, earning Team USA U17 Trials invitations, and shining on the Nike EYBL circuit, Bisola's journey proves that hard work can accelerate dreams faster than anyone expects. Representing Frisco Emerson High School and competing with Cy Fair Elite on the Nike EYBL circuit, Bisola has quickly become one of the most versatile guards in the country. At 6-foot, she can defend multiple positions, attack the basket with confidence, rebound at a high level, and score from all three levels. Whether she's leading the fast break, creating offense off the dribble, or making winning plays on defense, her game is built on effort, athleticism, and relentless competitiveness.One of the most inspiring parts of this conversation is hearing how quickly everything happened. Unlike many elite prospects who started playing as toddlers, Bisola didn't begin playing basketball until eighth grade after years of playing soccer. What started as a suggestion from a middle school coach quickly became a passion. Through consistent work, countless hours in the gym, and a commitment to improving every day, she transformed herself into one of the nation's premier Class of 2027 prospects.Throughout the episode, Bisola talks about the importance of staying positive. Anyone who has watched her play knows she's almost always smiling, and she explains that her outlook on life is rooted in gratitude. Whether she's winning, facing adversity, or simply competing, she believes there's always something to be thankful for. That positive mindset has become one of the defining characteristics of both her game and her personality.Listeners also get an inside look at what it was like attending the USA Basketball U17 National Team Trials. Surrounded by many of the nation's top players, Bisola embraced the opportunity to compete, learn, and build relationships with athletes from across the country. Rather than feeling intimidated, she viewed every workout and every practice as another opportunity to grow.Family has played a major role in Bisola's development. Growing up with two older brothers helped shape her toughness and competitive spirit, while her parents have supported every step of her basketball journey. She also credits her trainer, coaches, and teammates for helping her continue to improve while staying focused on becoming the best version of herself.As recruiting continues, Bisola already knows what she's looking for at the next level. She wants a school where she connects with the coaching staff, builds strong relationships with teammates, enjoys the community around campus, and can prepare for life after basketball. She also shares her interest in studying business or a health-related field while continuing to chase her dream of playing professionally.This episode is filled with valuable lessons for athletes, parents, coaches, and basketball fans who love discovering tomorrow's stars before the rest of the world catches on. Bisola's story reminds us that rankings don't define greatness. Consistency, character, resilience, and a willingness to outwork everyone else are what truly separate elite athletes.If you enjoy conversations like this, consider supporting our 4 Quarters Program.

Rising artist Lenexx joins Gracias, Come Again for an inspiring conversation about culture, identity, family, and the musical movement she's creating. Born in Santiago, Dominican Republic, and raised in Jackson Heights, Queens, Lenexx opens up about her journey from living with her abuela while her mother worked tirelessly in New York to build a better life for the family, to arriving in the U.S. at just eight years old with dreams, questions, and endless possibilities. In this episode, Lenexx reflects on her Dominican upbringing, her mother's sacrifices, and how growing up in one of the most culturally diverse neighborhoods in the world shaped her as both a person and an artist. Surrounded by Dominican, Mexican, Colombian, Indian, and countless other communities, Jackson Heights became the foundation for her global perspective. She also shares the story behind her deep connection to Brazilian culture, explaining how her best friend introduced her to Brazilian music and traditions, inspiring her to learn Portuguese and eventually record music in Spanish, English, and Portuguese. Most importantly, Lenexx introduces listeners to Funketon, the genre she created by fusing Dominican rhythms, Brazilian funk, and New York energy into a sound that's entirely her own. As one of the pioneers of this emerging style, she's breaking musical boundaries while building a global fanbase. We also talk about her special relationship with Brazil, where she spent time immersing herself in the culture that has inspired so much of her music. During her stay, Brazilian fans embraced her wholeheartedly, showing immense love for both her artistry and her vision. That experience further cemented her connection to the country and reinforced her belief that music truly has no borders.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Just Shoot Me!" is a sitcom that aired on NBC from 1997-2003. The show stars Laura San Giacomo as Maya Gallo, an outspoken journalist who reluctantly goes to work at her father's fashion magazine. Surrounded by an eccentric staff, Maya finds herself constantly clashing with the superficial world she's been thrown into. With its sharp ensemble cast and fast-paced writing, the series carved out its own place during NBC's legendary Must See TV era. Just Shoot Me! was both a critical darling and a commercial hit, earning multiple Emmy and Golden Globe nominations while consistently delivering top-tier ratings across its seven-season run. Though it often lived in the shadow of NBC heavyweights like Friends and Frasier, the show proved it had plenty of laughs of its own. Will the S1E1 boys think this fashion magazine is cover-worthy, or should this issue have stayed on the newsstand? Listen as they deep dive the show's pilot episode, "Back Issues," and find out. Starring: Laura San Giacomo, George Segal, Wendie Malick, Enrico Colantoni, & David Spade www.S1E1POD.com Instagram & X (Twitter): @S1E1POD

Cindy Esliger examines what happens when we have a bigger vision for our career than our current work environment supports. Bold ideas can disappear into the ether when colleagues are more comfortable following the agenda, protecting the status quo, or doing things the same way they've always been done. Wanting to think outside the box is not a flaw, and Cindy points out that dreaming bigger is a practice, especially when fear, limited thinking, and workplace pressure make safety feel more responsible than possibility. Cindy identifies three fears that often shape career decisions: 1. Fear of failure, 2. Fear of rejection, and 3. Fear of instability. These fears are real, but they're data instead of instructions to stop. Cindy contrasts safety-driven decisions, which ask what will keep us comfortable, with aligned decisions, which ask what we need to do the work we actually came to do. She encourages us to consult our future selves by asking three questions: 1. Who have we become?, 2. What did we have to let go of to get here, and 3. What is the one thing we would tell ourselves today that would save us two years of hesitation? Cindy also challenges us to get honest about what we truly want, without requiring a business case or immediate proof that it's possible. When the answer feels buried, she offers four questions to help us uncover it: 1. If we already knew the answer, what would it be? 2. In a perfect world with no constraints on possibility, what would we want? 3. What is the thing we've always wanted but never said out loud, and 4. If nobody in our lives had an opinion about it, what would we do? Specific wants create something to plan around. The goal isn't to wait for permission from small thinkers, but to deliberately seek out generous and curious people who are willing to think bigger, explore possibilities, and support meaningful career growth.

What's up, you Beautiful Beasts! Welcome back to the show! In this episode, I sit down with Paula D. Atkinson for a conversation that challenges some of the biggest beliefs we've been taught about health, weight, and our bodies. We talk about body liberation, diet culture, eating disorders, Health at Every Size, the history of BMI, and why so many of us have learned to distrust the very bodies that have been trying to protect us all along. Paula shares her own journey from childhood body shame to nearly starving herself in pursuit of thinness, and why she now believes healing starts by reconnecting with your body instead of fighting against it. Whether you agree with everything we discuss or not, I hope this episode leaves you curious enough to question the stories you've been told, and maybe even listen to your own body a little more closely. As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.Bio: Paula D. Atkinson is a liberation-focused psychotherapist who has spent more than 15 years supporting people with disordered eating, food obsession, exercise addiction, and body hatred. She previously taught Weight & Society at George Washington University, where she explored the history of fatphobia and thin worship, and now trains professionals and organizations to do less harm in a weight-obsessed culture. Paula is also a second-generation yoga teacher, artist, aspiring DJ, and self-described woo-woo desert witch living in Palm Springs. Music by Prymary: Sean Entrikin (my hot husband) on guitar, Chris Quirarte on drums, Smiley Sean on keyboards, Rob Young on bass, and Jaxon Duane on vocals.Want to be a guest on the show?

What do you do when life feels like it's closing in on you? In this powerful message, Surrounded But Not Abandoned, Ps. Stephen Prado reminds us that being surrounded is not the same as being abandoned. Through the story of Elisha and his servant in 2 Kings 6, discover how God often transforms our hearts before He changes our circumstances, because a changed situation without a changed heart only creates the same problems in a different place. Learn how to evaluate your thinking, shift your perspective from fear to faith, and respond with confidence, knowing that what you see may be real but it's not the complete picture. If this message encouraged you, send it to someone who needs the reminder that God is with them in every battle.Our socials: linktr.ee/jesusisalivecmnvConnect with Ps.

Surrounded by the beautiful Texas Hill Country with its plentiful supply of limestone, Craig McMahon of Craig McMahon Architects in Alamo Heights, TX, often turns to the diverse range of natural stone for his projects. McMahon took time to share a little of his background, how moving to Texas has fostered his love of natural stone and how his clients are excited when he explains to them the material is within their budget.

Recorded straight from the front porch of the farm, Alan reflects on the relief—and the sudden realization—that comes after hosting a massive high school graduation party for his son, Sean. Surrounded by the ambient sounds of wind chimes and ducks, Alan explores the "Arrival Fallacy" (or Destination Fallacy): the psychological trap of using a major calendar milestone as an excuse to put the rest of your life on hold. From neglected summer bike rides to delayed office tasks, Alan unpacks why we tend to pause our daily routines for big events and challenges listeners to stop waiting for the calendar to clear before living their lives.

What do you do when trouble doesn't come one at a time, but as a pack? The bills, the diagnosis at 2am, the rumor moving faster than the truth — sometimes you did everything right, and everything still went wrong.In this message from our Summer in the Psalms series, we step into one of the most dangerous nights of David's life — killers at the door, no escape in sight — and discover what he reached for instead of panic. Psalm 59 is God's field manual for surrounded people, and it gives us three moves anyone can make when life closes in: go to God first, rest in His perspective, and rise with a song.Whether you're in a hard season right now or walking with someone who is, this message points to a greater rescue — the One who stayed surrounded so you'd never be abandoned.

Today, I have a guest on the show and I'm talking to Paula D Atkinson (all the way from Palm Springs, California) who works as a psychotherapist, professor of Body Justice, author, and supporter of people navigating eating disorders, food obsession, and internalised body stigma. Her practice is anti-diet, Health At Every Size, and body-liberation focused, and she loves infusing humor and creativity into tough conversations. Paula recently appeared on Jubilee Media's Surrounded series (with Jillian Michaels) to challenge conventional health narratives. Paula co-hosts her own podcast, What If Nothing's Wrong With You?, where she unpacks how traditional therapy sometimes reinforces the very systems that create suffering. In today's episode, Paula shares about her own recovery, her academic background in fat studies, her experience speaking to Gen X women, LGBTQIA+ focus and more. There's lots to talk about. Stay tuned for an inspiring conversation. I hope that you find it helpful.   To find out more about Paula's work: - Website: www.pauladatkinson.com https://linktr.ee/pauladatkinson Link for individual sessions: https://doxy.me/pauladatkinson Instagram: @pauladatkinson  

Touted as one of the most beautiful places in the world, there really is something special about Banff. Combining the striking stature of the Rockies with the snug, quaint charms of small-town Canada, it's the sheer splendour of accessible and abundant wilderness that casts you under its spell. Just as visitors to Sedona routinely talk about “the healing energy” that seeps from its stones, Banff also brags about its revitalising powers. It's widely considered as a sacred place, ever since indigenous people were drawn to the region thousands of years ago, taking to the healing waters of the natural hot springs and gathering various plants for medicinal purposes. It was First Nations guides who introduced Europeans to the area in the 1800s, and by the 1880s the natural hot springs on Sulphur Mountain were a wildly popular Victorian tourist attraction. It was the railway that opened Banff's treasures to the world. Mercifully, the Canadian government had the vision and wisdom to safeguard nature's riches by creating Canada's first national park in 1885, Banff National Park. They run a very tight ship in this town. To live in Banff, you must be an eligible resident. This generally means your primary daily employment must be located within the Banff National Park boundaries. The permanent population is only 9000. There are no vacation homes. Buying property for holiday use or weekend getaways is strictly prohibited. Even if you own property, you must actively work in the park or rent it to someone who does. Similarly, residential property cannot be used for short-term rentals (like Airbnb) unless the property is owner-occupied and licensed specifically as a Bed and Breakfast. Perhaps some over-crowded but underpopulated New Zealand tourist towns should consider this model, like Tekapo. The main artery of Banff Ave is a swanky tourist mecca, lined with lodge-like hotels, many built in Rocky Mountain style, with the accent on lodgepole pines, limestone, and steeply pitched roofs. I love how all the side streets are named after local animals. I even saw roaming elk prancing down Elk Street. The best time to visit Banff depends on whether you snow-dappled vistas, wildflowers or larch season. I suggest the spring months are best, with show-mopped peaks and thinner crowds. Wildflower season runs from July to August, but it's chocka with visitors taking advantage of the warm weather for high-alpine hiking. “Larch madness” is a short, specific window from mid-September to early October, when the larch tree needles turn a brilliant gold. The beautiful natural display draws dense crowds to popular trails like Larch Valley. After alighting from two ravishing days aboard the Rocky Mountaineer from Vancouver, it fast became apparent that my short time in this mountain oasis would not be enough to do full justice to its surrounding wonders. But here's a round-up on some tried-and-true must dos. For the view of views, do not leave town before you have taken a ride to the rooftop of Sulphur Mountain, on the Banff Gondola. The eight-minute ride to the summit of 7,486-foot mountain delivers a horizon-wide alpine panorama. Six distinct mountain ranges unfurl their grandeur before you, along with the Bow River Valley and the town of Banff itself. Beyond the top station, the boardwalk trail climbs even higher, leading you to Sanson Peak. Alongside savouring the snow-flecked scenery in the heart of the Rockies, I was also intrigued by the remnants of the Cosmic Ray Station, perched on top of Sulphur Mountain. This throwback to the 1950s became Canada's most important cosmic ray observatory, contributing to our understanding of how the sun effects the earth's environment. Needless to say, even in summer the mountaintop temps can be chilly. If you need a warm-up, just below the gondola base station, Banff Upper Hot Springs will put some pep in your step. Discovered by Canada's First Nations people, they've been regarded as sacred waters for centuries, rich in minerals like sulfate, calcium, bicarbonate, magnesium and sodium. Give yourself a therapeutic soak in the toasty waters, that average 39C, gazing at the sprawling heft of Mount Rundle. Savour some solitude on an easy, in-town hike, just off the downtown thoroughfare of Banff Ave. The Bow River Trail follows the north shore, while the Bow Falls Trail hugs the south side. The south shore is particularly scenic if you head east to the Bow Falls Viewpoint. It's also a dreamy spot for a photo of the waterfall and the “Castle in the Rockies”, the Fairmont Banff Springs hotel. Waterfall hikes top the list of things to do in Banff any time of year. Johnston Canyon is a cracker, close to town and easy. The walkway is attached directly to the canyon walls. It takes you right to the thunderously noisy Lower Falls and then up to the taller Upper Falls. In winter, the canyon completely transforms as the waterfalls freeze into massive blue ice pillars. You'll need ice cleats to strike out on the ice walk. Good eats? In the heart of Banff town, in Bear St, Bison is the go-to for "Rocky Mountain comfort food," with an emphasis on slow cooking. As the name suggests, it's a great place to try bison dishes—bison tartar and slow-cooked braised bison short rib are signature dishes—but there's also Wild British Columbia halibut, wood-fired duck, and Alberta beef striploin. Sunday brunch buffet is a celebrated pastime at the Fairmont Banff Springs, the iconic “Castle in the Rockies.” The setting is postcard perfect - exactly why the Banff Springs Hotel was built by the Canadian Pacific Railway company in 1888 to woo the world to the rugged Rockies. Make a brunch booking at The Vermillion Room to nosh on signature dishes like smoked Wild Pacific salmon and slow-roasted Alberta beef. Be sure to add a side of maple brownies.Banff has a soft-spot for fondue, a hangover from the hordes of Swiss guides who were recruited over a century ago to spirit visitors through the Rockies. If you're up for fondue with a difference, head to the Grizzly House. Nearly 60 years old, it's a dining experience that's hands-on, unconventional, and uniquely Banff. Hot rock meat is served raw and cooked at your table. Alongside prime cuts of Alberta beef and fresh seafood, you'll find wild game and exotic meats including ostrich, elk, bison, frogs legs, alligator and rattlesnake. Like the classic Swiss cheese and chocolate fondues, they're all designed for sharing. Across the Banff area, a sequence of jewel-like lakes are the stars of the show, tinted a dazzling turquoise hue due to the presence of glacial flour (ground up rock particles). The dazzling Moraine Lake, Abraham Lake, Lake Minnewanka and Lake Louise are the best in show. Hike the Lake Agnes Tea House trail through gorgeous old-growth forest which does indeed bring you to a quaint old tea house on top of a mountain, just north of Lake Louise. Built as a refuge for hikers, it started serving tea in 1905, and still does today. Their hearty homemade soups, will hit the spot, too! Just off the Trans-Canada Highway close to the town of Banff, soak up the tranquil Vermilion Lakes, a network of marshlands and lakes. The lakes have wonderful views of jagged Mount Rundle, the town's signature peak. It's an awesome spot for picnicking, paddling, relaxing, and reflection photography. Grab a rental bike from town and pedal your way around this soothing slice of solitude. I didn't have time to explore the Icefields Parkway on this trip, but I will be back to do it. Many fellow travellers in Banff were raving about this 230km-long drive, connecting Banff National Park with Jasper National Park. Powerfully rugged mountain scenery, glaciers galore, and a gob full of wildlife including moose, wolves, bighorn sheep and grizzly bears: the Icefields Parkway comes highly recommended. A hotel guest remarked to me that it felt like the road had been carved inside the earth, with massive mountains clinging to the Continental Divide. If you're up for some cultural dabbling, check out the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies. Founded by the late Peter and Catharine Whyte, two Banff artists, the museum exhibits artworks and artifacts relating to the cultural heritage of the Rockies. Many of the earliest photos of Banff National Park can be found here, and the gallery of prized landscape paintings are sublime. Where to stay? One of the newest offerings in Banff is the Otter Hotel, delivering a winning blend of comfort and nature. This four-star mountain luxury hideaway is in the uptown district, on Banff Avenue. It's conveniently close to the bustle of downtown – just a ten minute walk away, but you're also blissfully removed from the tourist throb, tucked away in a calming forest setting. That's what Otter Hotel really excels in providing, a calmer escape, wrapped in nature's splendour. It's nailed the sweet spot, basking in the charm of Banff at a relaxed pace. You'll definitely want to dine on-site at one of Banff's newest upscale culinary destinations, Good Folk. Refined Canadian flavours and an intimate ambiance are to the fore, with exquisitely prepared dishes like bison burgers, Alberta wild boar chop, King Cole duck breast and Icelandic Arctic char. Their creative cocktails are a masterclass in wizardly mixology. The hotel's thoughtfully designed rooms feature contemporary comforts, elevated finishes, and inviting spaces to relax after an intrepid day out exploring. Surrounded by towering lodgepole pines and framed by sweeping Rocky Mountain views, nothing beats unwinding in the rooftop hot pools or lounging around the outdoor fire pits, drinking in the dreamy views of Cascade Mountain right in front of you. It's an elevated oasis of hospitality. All hotel guests also receive a complimentary ROAM transit pass, which is like a hop-on, hop-off bus, zipping you around all of Banff's top sites, with a high frequency schedule. otterhotel.com After soaking up the best of Banff, Calgary Airport is just a 90 minute ride away and Banff Airporter is the trusted ground transportation provider, with a comprehensive shuttle schedule. Highly-rated for their convenience, comfort and reliability, Banff Airporter operates a year-round, stress-free shuttle service to and from Calgary Airport and the mountains.

This episode flips the script. Instead of Larry hosting, Marc Hildebrand, one of the top coaches in the Dad Edge Business Brotherhood, a 20-year LAPD veteran, life coach, and founder of Modern Leadership, sits Larry down and interviews him. The jumping-off point is a hard statistic: most men are lonely, and the majority don't have a single friend they could call at 3am. Larry opens up about the mastermind that changed his life eleven years ago, the "cost of doing nothing" question that got him to say yes, the BRAVE MAN system his Boardroom runs on, and the August 2017 morning his wife told him he was losing her. If you're a man who's surrounded by people but still feels alone, or a business owner pouring everything into work while the rest of your life drifts, this one is a roadmap.   Timeline Summary [1:02] – The loneliness statistic and why Larry isn't surprised it's that high [3:17] – Marc introduces Larry and the role-reversal format [7:04] – The first mastermind eleven years ago and mentor Aaron Walker [8:45] – Rusty relationships and why "fine, good, busy" keeps men shallow [10:03] – The $500-a-month invitation that sounded like snake oil [11:55] – The question that changed everything: the cost of doing nothing [13:45] – Sitting with the chills, imagining life a year out, and calling back in 12 minutes [16:24] – What pulled Larry to lean in instead of talking himself out of it [19:03] – "Show me your calendar and I'll show you what's important to you" [22:59] – Why it's never the business, it's the person running the business [25:41] – The BRAVE MAN system explained category by category [29:53] – Why the room, not just the strategies, is what gets men to change [30:52] – The black belt lesson: that's when the training actually begins [35:02] – Attracting your wife back to you instead of chasing [36:22] – The August 2017 morning Jessica said "you're losing me" [40:30] – Masculine and feminine energy, and helping your wife soften [44:11] – Inside the quarterly Goal Setting Intensive [47:19] – Why the Boardroom is only 20-25% about business [50:26] – Living an "and" life instead of an "or" life [52:36] – The Dad Edge core values, read in full for the first time [58:04] – Who the room is for, and how to join the intensive   5 Key Takeaways The Cost of Doing Nothing — When weighing an investment in yourself, the real question isn't the price. It's what your life looks like a year from now if you change nothing at all. It's Never the Business — Entrepreneurs blame the business for their disconnection, burnout, and lost health. The hidden truth is that it's the person running the business, and reactivity is the pattern to break. Attract, Don't Chase — Chasing your spouse reads as needy, desperate energy. Leading from a grounded, positive masculine presence lets her soften and pulls her back toward you. Set "And" Goals, Not "Or" Goals — You don't have to choose between growing your business and connecting with your family. The right question is how one could actually strengthen the other. The Room Is the Gold — Skills and strategies matter, but transformation happens in a room of trusted men who share wins in detail, hold public accountability, and call each other forward.   Links & Resources Episode page and all links: https://thedadedge.com/1515 Join the Dad Edge Alliance: https://thedadedge.com/join Dad Edge Boardroom Goal Setting Intensive (July 31, 8am central, 10 guest spots): https://thedadedge.com/goals   Enjoyed This Episode?

Rolling Stone's Nashville Now podcast goes on the road this week for a very special episode with the legendary Shania Twain. Surrounded by memorabilia from throughout her career, the country music trendsetter welcomes us to her Las Vegas property for a wide-ranging conversation. Twain talks about connecting the dots between Shania the superstar and the young girl who sang in motel bars in her native Canada on her new album Little Miss Twain. She also opens up about putting her singing career on hold to become a caregiver for her siblings following the tragic death of her parents, being embraced by an LGBTQ audience, and why she thinks men like singing along to “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” Twain shares what she sees in the success of Ella Langley too. It's a conversation with one of country music's most important artists.   Country is Here… Nashville is Now.   Check out our Hear Now playlist on Spotify, updated weekly.

In today's episode I discuss how to discern the good from the bad that surrounds us all the time. 

Many years ago I was dealing with a very difficult challenge in our lives. I prayed and prayed and prayed about it. I fasted about it. I was so in need of heavenly help. And then, what seemed like the most obscure answer came to me. It was unexpected. It was very specific. It changed everything. We'll talk about it in today's podcast!

Have you ever looked at your life and thought, I've changed...but now who am I? Midlife brings so many transitions—our bodies change, our relationships evolve, our roles shift, and the things that once defined us begin to look different. In this episode, I share some of the emotions so many women experience during this season, including grief, relief, fear, and uncertainty. We talk about why midlife isn't about trying to become the person you used to be, but discovering who God is inviting you to become next. If you've been wondering what this season is really about, I hope this conversation encourages you to embrace it with curiosity, courage, and hope. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN [00:00] Why Midlife Isn't About Going Back—It's About Becoming [04:00] The Questions That Surface When Life Finally Gets Quiet [09:00] Grieving the Life You Thought You'd Have [14:00] Why the Emotion of Relief Can Feel Surprisingly Uncomfortable in Midlife [17:00] Two Different Kinds of Fear—and Which One God Wants You to Follow [22:00] Don't Let Your Inner Critic Talk You Out of Your Next Season [27:00] Midlife Is an Orientation, Not the Finish Line [30:00] Listening to the Emotions God Is Using to Shape You RESOURCES: Emotional Confidence Club If this conversation resonated with you, join us inside the Emotional Confidence Club, where we're spending time exploring the emotions of midlife together. Through monthly coaching, practical tools, and faith-filled conversations, you'll learn how to process emotions like grief, fear, relief, and uncertainty while discovering the woman God is shaping you to become. Learn more: AliciaMichelle.com/club  RELATED EPISODES: Ep 365: God Reveals So He Can Heal (And It's Time to Step Into That Healing) Ep 367: Why Do I Feel Lonely in Midlife When I'm Surrounded by People I Love? Ep 368: What Am I Really Longing for When I Feel Lonely and Disconnected? Send us Fan Mail

Have you ever reached the end of the day feeling completely drained?

Marine Corps machine gunner Matthew Dolan survived a massive IED blast in Fallujah, Iraq and that was only one of several moments that nearly killed him.Today's Urban Valor podcast, Matthew shares what it was like serving as an 0331 Marine machine gunner with 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines. He discusses deploying to Fallujah, operating as part of a quick reaction force, being shot at by an enemy he could not see, surviving a double-stacked 155mm IED, and becoming trapped inside a military vehicle as it rolled into a river.Yeah… this one gets WILD.Matthew's story isn't only about explosions and close calls.It's about growing up with a younger sister battling cystic fibrosis…Walking into a Marine Corps recruiting office after getting yelled at by his boss…Training under veterans of Operation Phantom Fury…And arriving in a completely blacked-out Fallujah as a 19-year-old kid from Kansas thinking, “What the hell did I get myself into?”Matthew describes the strange reality of fighting insurgents who rarely presented a clear target. One moment, he was searching vehicles and tracking high-value individuals. The next, he was taking sniper fire, responding to indirect fire or driving roads known for improvised explosive devices.Then came the blast.Matthew's vehicle was the fourth to cross an IED buried beneath the road. The first three vehicles passed over it without detonating the device.His didn't.The explosion cracked the vehicle's axle, tore away part of the Humvee and knocked Matthew unconscious. His fellow Marines pulled him from the vehicle, strapped him to a stretcher and rushed him to medical treatment.What happened inside the medical bay somehow became one of the funniest...and most unfiltered...IED survival stories we've ever heard.

Some journeys unfold in a straight line. Others drift like smoke, following instinct rather than direction. For his debut appearance on the Magician On Duty Journey Series, Calatrava (@calatravaa) offers a recording that lives somewhere between sunrise and the final moments of the night. It is a patient conversation between pulse and silence, where each transition feels less like a DJ mix and more like the turning of a page. Time stretches, rhythms breathe, and melodies arrive quietly, leaving room for the listener to wander. Calatrava's story begins in Moscow, where intimate underground gatherings became the laboratory for a sound shaped by restraint instead of excess. Drawn to the subtle tension of minimal techno, deep house, and downtempo, he learned to build momentum through detail rather than spectacle, allowing every record to reveal itself slowly. Everything shifted with his move to Tulum in 2022. Surrounded by a community searching for new musical languages, he co-founded EXO, a gathering dedicated to slower frequencies and open-minded selectors. What began as a local event series soon grew into one of the region's most respected platforms, welcoming artists including Magician On Duty, Kyong Sono, DPAZ, NADA, RoMo, MoM, YOU&I, and many others. The vision naturally expanded into EXO Records, a home for music that favors feeling over formula. Today, Calatrava continues to shape his own path through original productions and performances across Mexico, guided by curiosity rather than convention. His sets refuse obvious climaxes, choosing instead to dissolve the boundaries between genres, cultures, and states of mind. That philosophy flows effortlessly through this Journey Series episode. Across eighteen carefully chosen selections, delicate arpeggios dissolve into earthy percussion, forgotten melodies reappear in unexpected forms, and hypnotic grooves give way to moments of quiet reflection before finding their pulse once again. Music from Arutani, Iorie, Madmotormiquel, NADA, Mira & Christopher Schwarzwälder, Juliano Gomez, gázel, O_Y and others becomes part of a single, unbroken narrative—less a collection of tracks than a landscape slowly revealing itself with every step. This is a mix for long roads, hidden beaches, empty dance floors at dawn, and those rare moments when music says more than words ever could. Tracklist: 1. Soble – Some Arps 2.

This week, Andrew and Jay are back from vacation and comparing notes on what it takes to unplug without losing momentum. They talk about the transition back into work, why deleting emails can be more productive than answering them, and the systems they rely on to keep their businesses running while they're away.They then shift into leadership and communication through the lens of Surrounded by Idiots, a book on personality styles and self-perception. Andrew reflects on candid feedback he recently received from his team and how easily leaders can misjudge the way they're perceived. Jay and Andrew explore healthy conflict, hiring for emotional maturity, decision fatigue, and why understanding different personality types can dramatically improve communication inside an organization.They also discuss how reducing unnecessary choices, from restaurant menus to product catalogs, can create better customer experiences, stronger businesses, and less mental friction for everyone involved.

We're coming to you from our time in downtown Omaha at the Omaha Baseball Village during one of the biggest sporting events of the year to talk about what it means to carry light into every sphere of influence. Surrounded by the energy of the Road to Omaha, passionate fans from across the country, and thousands of people coming together through sports, we reflect on why changing the game requires us to step outside our comfort zones and take our purpose beyond the four walls. From simple conversations and unexpected connections to people recognizing that there is something different about what we carry, this episode explores how one interaction, one word, or one act of encouragement can create a lasting impact. We discuss the importance of standing firm in your values without withdrawing from culture, supporting those who are courageously living out their convictions, and being willing to enter unfamiliar spaces so your light can be seen. If you have a vision, purpose, or dream that feels bigger than where you are today, this conversation will encourage you to control what you can control, remain committed to what you believe, and use the gifts God has given you to bring people together and create positive change. You don't make an impact by avoiding the darkness; you change the game by carrying the light directly into it.

Catherine Breed is an endurance athlete, ocean explorer, and visionary storyteller redefining what modern adventure can look like — where human performance, environmental connection, and community impact meet. Drawn to the water from an early age, Catherine's journey began in elite competitive swimming, representing UC Berkeley and the U.S. National Team. Years of disciplined training shaped her understanding of resilience and focus, but her true evolution began when she stepped beyond the structure of the pool and into the vast unpredictability of open water. In 2016, Catherine found her home within San Francisco's historic open-water swimming community at the Dolphin Club, where cold water, powerful tides, and a culture of bold exploration challenged her to redefine limits. Surrounded by legendary swimmers and lifelong adventurers, she began pursuing ambitious endurance swims that transformed swimming from competition into exploration — and ultimately into a platform for storytelling and impact. From this transition emerged a guiding philosophy: Beyond the Blackline — a mindset rooted in stepping beyond certainty, embracing discomfort, and forging new paths without predefined boundaries. What began as a personal journey evolved into a broader vision: using human-powered adventure as a catalyst for connection — between people, between communities, and between humanity and the ocean. Today, Catherine's work extends far beyond individual achievement. She is the founder of purpose-driven initiatives that combine endurance sport, storytelling, and ocean advocacy to inspire meaningful engagement with the natural world. Her projects invite audiences to rethink what is possible — not only physically, but emotionally and collectively — demonstrating how bold goals can spark curiosity, resilience, and environmental stewardship. At the heart of her mission is a belief that access to the ocean should be inclusive and transformative. Catherine advocates for greater equity and representation in ocean spaces, particularly for women and underrepresented communities, while championing the protection of marine ecosystems through experiential storytelling and community engagement. As a speaker, expedition leader, and storyteller, Catherine brings audiences into the raw realities of exploration — the uncertainty, the risk, and the profound clarity found when we step beyond familiar boundaries. Her work challenges conventional ideas of endurance, shifting the focus from records alone toward purpose-driven adventure that leaves lasting impact. Going beyond the black line was never just about swimming. It was about choosing a life guided by curiosity, courage, and connection — and creating pathways for others to do the same. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

The Devil's Ledger Week of July 13, 2026 Summer may be in full swing, but the strange stories never take a vacation. This week on The Devil's Ledger, Branden Morgan takes you from one of America's most haunted Civil War landmarks to the shadowy tunnels beneath Paris, where history—and perhaps something else—still lingers beneath the streets. In The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week, we visit Pennsylvania's legendary Sachs Covered Bridge, a Civil War crossing steeped in stories of ghostly soldiers, phantom gunpowder, unexplained cold spots, and shadowy figures said to patrol the bridge more than 160 years after the Battle of Gettysburg. Then we head underground on The Devil Within, as Campfire Files continues with The City Beneath the City. What begins as an ordinary vacation to Paris becomes something far more unsettling when an American couple ventures into the infamous Catacombs beneath the French capital. Surrounded by the remains of more than six million Parisians, they discover that history may not be the only thing preserved beneath the City of Light. Over on Criminal Mischief, Carolyn returns with another investigation into the darker side of human nature. She still won't tell Branden what she's working on, so listeners will discover the mystery together when the new episode drops this Tuesday. On The Slippery, Nancy examines the heartbreaking wrongful-conviction case of Marilyn Mulero, whose coerced confession sent her to death row for a crime she didn't commit. It's a remarkable examination of Detective Reynaldo Guevara, false confessions, and the long road toward justice. Finally, in This Week in Horror, we spotlight Evil Dead Burn, the newest chapter in Sam Raimi's legendary horror franchise. A secluded family gathering becomes an unforgettable nightmare as an ancient evil transforms a reunion into absolute chaos. Stay cool, stay safe, and thanks for spending part of your week with us. We'll see you across the Evio Creative Universe. In This Episode •

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Alison Cook to explore how understanding the different "parts" of your heart can help you experience deeper healing, greater emotional freedom, and a more secure relationship with God. We talk about why certain situations trigger old emotions, how to respond to yourself with curiosity instead of shame, and why tending your soul is less about fixing yourself and more about learning to lovingly care for the hidden places God wants to heal. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN [00:00] Why Some Emotional Reactions Make No Logical Sense [06:00] Learning to Recognize the Different Parts of Your Heart [13:00] Bringing Jesus Into the Younger Parts of Your Story [16:00] Could Unhealed Parts of Your Heart Be Contributing to Loneliness? [22:00] Why Curiosity Creates More Healing Than Self-Criticism [29:00] Building Trust with the Hidden Parts of Yourself [35:00] The Journey of Tending Your Soul with Jesus [40:00] Taking the Next Step Toward Healing RESOURCES: The Secure Soul by Dr. Alison Cook People Pleasing Mindset Makeover and working with Alicia in coaching: AliciaMichelle.com/coaching  RELATED EPISODES: Ep 365: God Reveals So He Can Heal (Is It Time to Step Into Healing?) Ep 367: Why Do I Feel Lonely in Midlife When I'm Surrounded by People I Love? Ep 368: What Am I Really Longing for When I Feel Lonely and Disconnected? Send us Fan Mail

Surrounded by His antagonists, Jesus points out that the Jewish leadership are not His sheep. In this message we will examine what it means to be Jesus' sheep.

**This episode includes two separate interviews.**Hilary Lawrey knows what it means to live with invisible boundaries. Growing up in Belfast during the Troubles, she experienced a world where fear quietly shaped everyday life—determining where people went, whom they met, and how communities remained separated. Though she never carried bitterness, the divisions around her became part of the landscape of her life.After spending fifteen years caring for her husband before his death, Hilary faced a different kind of isolation. Grief had narrowed her world, and the thought of walking into a shared space where Protestants and Catholics gathered together felt overwhelming. Yet she chose courage over fear.That single decision changed her life.Today, Black Mountain Shared Space has become a second home. Surrounded by friends from across the community, Hilary has rediscovered laughter, purpose, and the confidence to embrace new experiences—including traveling with women she had only recently met. She believes peace is built not by pretending differences don't exist, but by making room for one another while remaining true to who we are.Looking at her grandchildren, Hilary sees a future she never imagined as a child: one where friendships cross old divides and young people are free to go wherever life leads them. Her journey is a reminder that reconciliation is often less about changing someone else's mind than finding the courage to step through a door that once seemed impossible to open.**Mark Fenton is a community leader and founding member of Black Mountain Shared Space in Belfast, where he has spent nearly two decades helping build relationships across one of Northern Ireland's most deeply divided interfaces. Raised in the area during the Troubles, Mark became involved in interface violence as a child and later in loyalist paramilitary organizations, experiences that shaped his understanding of the conflict and the cost it imposed on local communities.A strong supporter of the Good Friday Agreement, Mark became involved in community peacebuilding to help ensure that future generations would not have to experience the violence and division he had known. Working alongside former members of the republican community, he has helped build trust, respond to community tensions, and create opportunities for people from both traditions to meet in a safe and welcoming environment.Mark is also a single father who raised two daughters after the death of his wife. He credits his work in peacebuilding with helping create a different future for his family, one in which his daughters—and now his grandchildren—can form friendships across community lines that would have been nearly impossible during his own childhood. Today, he remains committed to building safer, stronger communities by encouraging people to step beyond fear and give one another a chance.Credits:Photos and text, John NoltnerField production, summer interns Kate West, Sawyer Garrison, and Kaitlin ImaiAudio Engineering, Razik SaifullahThanks for listening to A Peace of My Mind's podcast.

You can be in a room full of people, successful, loved — and still feel completely alone. In this episode, host Cari Fund sits down with trauma-informed therapist Dr. Sylvia Kalicinski, host of The Dr. Sylvia K Show and author of the brand-new book Lonely AF: A Therapist's No BS Guide to Feeling Less Alone. Sylvia opens up about losing her mother at age two, growing up as the golden child of a narcissistic father, and the unprocessed grief she didn't recognize until adulthood. Together, she and Cari explore why emotional loneliness has nothing to do with how many people are around you, how generational trauma gets passed down through our nervous systems, and what it really takes to stop wearing the mask and come home to yourself. Sylvia also walks us through her five-step HEART method — Honor your emotions, Explore your family patterns, Acknowledge your pain points, Rewrite your narrative, and Turn within — and guides a grounding exercise you can do anywhere, anytime, for free. This is a conversation about cycle breaking, the mother wound, narcissistic family dynamics, and the freedom that comes when you finally choose your own story.

Aliu Adewale: The Counterintuitive Fix—How Collapsing the Jira Board Sparked Collaboration Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "Collaboration is the foundation of a successful Scrum team." - Aliu Adewale   Aliu walked into a team where the daily standup was theater. Developers delivered their tickets and forgot about them. QA picked up "their" column. Front-end, back-end, senior architect, junior developer—everyone was a champion of their own silo. Nobody engaged during refinement. Nobody called anything out. The board had close to ten columns, one per specialty, and it was working exactly as designed: as a handoff system. Aliu's diagnosis is sharp—the foundation of the team's problem wasn't the people; it was the tool. The Jira board was visualizing silos and the team was living up to it. The fix was counterintuitive: he collapsed the board from nine columns to three—To Do, In Progress, Done. Once "In Progress" was the only place where work lived, nobody could hide. A QA needing to know when a ticket would be ready had to talk to the developer. A stakeholder asking for status meant everyone on the ticket had to communicate. The team had no choice but to collaborate. As Vasco frames it in the episode: by creating the smaller problem of "hiding status," Aliu solved the bigger problem of "no collaboration." Sometimes you have to make things a little worse so they can get much better.   In this segment, we refer to the Agile value individuals and interactions over processes and tools, and to the recognition that the tools we choose shape the behaviors we get.   Self-reflection Question: Is your Jira board designed to enable collaboration, or to enable handoffs? Featured Book of the Week: Surrounded by Idiots by Thomas Erikson For Aliu, the book that most inspired him as a Scrum Master is Surrounded by Idiots by Thomas Erikson—a book he discovered through a recommendation on this very podcast. The provocative title pulled him in; the content gave him something he could use every day. As a Scrum Master, you work with people from different backgrounds, different communication styles, different ways of seeing the world. The book maps four personality patterns and, as Aliu puts it, "it might not be a hundred over a hundred, but at least ninety over a hundred about personality and human relation." For someone already working on his emotional intelligence, it became a tool for understanding why a message that landed clearly with one team member completely missed another—and what to do about it.   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Today's podcast is for you and we hope you had a great 4th. Please comment and let's discuss.Also…If you haven't already check out the Strange Company Trilogy. Three books and each is the size of two books. So, that's like 6 BOOKS!!!!! The audio version with Christian Ryan Grant is awesome.Stack bodies, get paid, get to the ship.“If you can survive Reaper Platoon in the Strange, then Ghost or Dog Platoons will get you for their own. Best to steer clear of the freaks in Voodoo, kid.”Surrounded and outgunned, a group of private military contractors known as “Strange Company” find themselves on a remote planet at the edge of known space, and on the losing end of a bad contract. Orbital D-beam strikes, dropships bristling with auto-guns, missiles, and troops - even Monarch space marines in state-of-the-art advanced battle rattle - will try to prevent the company from reaching the exfil LZ and getting off-world.For Strange, that means it's time to hang tough and get it on with as much hyper-kinetic violence as they can muster to get clear of the whole mess. And what the Strange can't get done by violent assault and crazy firefights, they'll get done by the freaks of Voodoo Platoon - operators who have been changed by the Dark Labs into powerful and unnervingly unnatural asymmetrical weapons.This is the Strange Company. Because in the Strange, it's always really Strange. Join them - and get ready for full auto combat at the furthest limits of human exploration.And don't forget to visit my store.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

In this episode of The Suffering Podcast, host Kevin Donaldson sits down with licensed psychologist Dr. Dorothy Novitskie to analyze one of the internet's most controversial conversations: Jubilee's "Surrounded: 1 Cop Vs. 20 Criminals." Unlike a typical reaction video, this episode dives beneath the surface of the debate to explore the psychology, trauma, emotions, and lived experiences driving every exchange. As the discussion unfolds, Kevin offers a unique perspective as the very police officer featured in the Jubilee episode, providing behind-the-scenes insight into what viewers didn't see, what was happening internally during the conversation, and the realities of standing alone while facing criticism, confrontation, and deeply personal questions. Dr. Novitskie brings her expertise in trauma, mental health, and human behavior to help unpack the emotional dynamics at play on all sides. Together, they examine the body language, emotional triggers, communication patterns, and underlying pain that emerge throughout the discussion. From issues of crime and policing to accountability, trust, trauma, and redemption, they explore how personal experiences shape our beliefs and why conversations like these often become emotionally charged long before the cameras start rolling. This episode is not about declaring winners and losers. It's about understanding the human beings behind the viewpoints. Whether you're in law enforcement, have been impacted by crime, struggle with trust in institutions, or simply want a deeper understanding of why people see the world so differently, this conversation offers powerful insight into the complexities of human suffering and resilience. Watch until the end as Kevin reflects on what it was like to be in the center of the debate and Dr. Novitskie helps reveal the deeper psychological forces influencing everyone in the room. You may come away seeing the conversation—and perhaps yourself—in a completely different light. What moment from the Jubilee episode stood out to you most? What perspective challenged your thinking?
