What does it really mean to have an open heart?Many of us think an open heart simply means being kind or emotionally vulnerable. But what if it's actually about something deeper? What if an open heart is a teachable heart... one that's willing to stay curious, listen well, and continue growing throughout every season of life?In this episode of Strength in Numbers, Jilann begins the final month of the Quiet Strength: The Power of Heart Postures series by exploring how curiosity and humility shape healthy leadership. Through practical insights and the Enneagram's Harmony (Harmonic) Triads, you'll discover how your natural response to challenges can either keep your heart open to growth or slowly close it off.If you've ever found yourself assuming you already know the answer, becoming set in your ways, or struggling to remain open to new perspectives, this episode offers a gentle invitation to lead with curiosity instead of certainty.What an open heart really is, and what it isn'tWhy curiosity is one of the greatest strengths of a quiet leaderHow the Enneagram's Harmony Triads influence the way you respond to life's challengesHow humility and teachability strengthen your leadership and relationshipsReflection questions to help you remain open to growth in everyday lifeWhy staying curious creates trust, deeper connection, and lasting personal growthYou'll also hear about the Quiet Strength Gathering, a monthly online community where quiet leaders connect, reflect, and encourage one another as they continue growing together.Keywords: quiet leadership, open heart, personal growth, leadership development, teachability, curiosity, Enneagram, Harmony Triads, Harmonic Groups, authentic leadership, Christian leadership, women in leadership, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, Strength in Numbers podcast.

Dr. Beckett discusses hiring in the sports card hobby after a young friend asked for help, focusing on what hobby companies actually need beyond job titles. He emphasizes identifying the business problem or growth opportunity first, separating teachable skills from foundational traits like work ethic and integrity, and valuing contributors who can grow rather than demanding a “finished product,” especially for non-senior roles. Beckett highlights the importance of hobby knowledge (including TCG/Pokémon), versatility for smaller companies, and broader job postings to cast a wider net. He outlines effective recruiting channels such as word of mouth, customers, vendors, family referrals, paid interns, and employee bounties, encourages promoting from within when possible, and prefers face-to-face hiring, often at the National, where companies can recruit strong long-term contributors.   01:48 Hire for Challenges/Opportunities 02:42 Teachable vs Traits 06:23 Versatility Wins 08:07 Where to Find Talent 09:43 Culture and Promotion 10:53 Interviewing at National 13:09 Make Great Offers

A study in the gospel of Mark chapter 9:30-50

Do you struggle with being humble, and yielding to God's will? Most of us do. This extends to accepting an iron-sharpening-iron relationship that God has set in our path. And yet the benefits are so good for us.Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, one man sharpens another.”Make no mistake, God sets people in our path for a reason. That Bible teacher in your church might have words of wisdom for you from her rich and varied life. Be open to that.If you're in fellowship with a mature, older believer, let him or her walk with you on your journey. Learn from them. Ask questions. And learn to be vulnerable.The benefits and outcomes will be richer than you can ever imagine. This is especially true when someone points out areas where you can grow. It's not fun—but this is the essence of iron sharpening iron. And it's good for you.Let's pray.Father God, help us be open to the leading of your Holy Spirit when encountering someone who could mentor us. Help us grow. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

What happens inside you when someone corrects you? Do you immediately become defensive? Explain yourself? Get offended? Or can you pause and ask: "Is there something here that I need to learn?" In Episode 2 of GROWTH: Becoming More Like Christ, Jeanith Padilla explores one of the most important qualities of a growing person: a teachable heart. Being teachable doesn't mean believing every criticism or allowing people to disrespect you. It means having enough humility to listen, examine your heart, seek God's wisdom, and remain open to growth. In this episode, we talk about: • Why correction can feel so uncomfortable • How pride makes us defensive • The connection between insecurity and defensiveness • How to discern criticism without automatically rejecting it • Why difficult people can become unexpected teachers • How humility helps us become more like Christ ✨ Not everything people say about you is true. But every situation can still teach you something. Key Scriptures: • Proverbs 12:1 • Proverbs 9:9 • Proverbs 15:31–33 • James 1:19 • Psalm 139:23–24 • Philippians 2

This live stream from the Infinite Plane Society (IPS) focuses on the development of a Teachable course regarding Metascript Deconstruction and the formal methodology for media skepticism. The speaker argues that most people are trapped in a "world stage" narrative where significant historical events are actually pre-scheduled simulations.The speaker identifies a dual timeline system: a real-world timeline and a secondary, fictional timeline called the Metascript. This Metascript contains pre-planned, "theatrically performed" historic events that arrive via the news to eventually become part of our history. Key elements of this system include:The Psyop Entertainment Complex: A monolithic collusion between government, news media, and mass entertainment designed to wage psychological warfare on the public.Predictive and Concurrent Programming: Mass entertainment (movies, TV shows) is used to condition the public to accept future fake events as inevitable and to frame their later interpretation.Meta-scripters: Writers and directors who contribute content to the Metascript by reinforcing or foreshadowing these operations.The speaker uses the reported assassination of Charlie Kirk as a primary example of a planned simulated event. He cites "hoax indicators," such as the use of squibs (special effects devices) and "predictive programming" in the show Snake Eyes, as evidence that the event was scripted decades in advance.The speaker critiques individuals like Alex Jones and "Jesse on Fire," labeling them as "guardrailers". He defines a guardrail as a "safe" conspiracy theory or subplot that allows people to question details of an event (e.g., "he's actually in protective custody") while still accepting the foundational premise that the person and the "world stage" are real.The sources describe a system of triangulation where the "world stage" creates manufactured fights between opposing sides to reinforce social schisms. This includes:Woke Left: Focused on Critical Race Theory and systemic oppression.Woke Right: Described as a "counterpart" that believes it is being oppressed by Israel or the government.Red Pills: Viewed as another form of "false awakening" or "wokeism" that merely swaps one belief system for another, often involving "conspiracy lore" like chemtrails or reptilians.The ultimate goal of IPS is to move individuals "off-world stage" into what the speaker calls "Realville". This perspective is rooted in consummate skepticism and the suspension of judgment rather than active belief. By recognizing the existence of the two timelines and reverse-engineering media fakery, individuals can allegedly inoculate themselves against psychological operations and "mind viruses".Core Concepts of Metascript DeconstructionCase Study: The "Charlie Kirk Assassination"Political Triangulation and "Wokeism"The "Off-World Stage" Perspective

Jennie Nash interviews author Meghan P. Browne about her journey from picture-book nonfiction to selling her first middle-grade novel, after participating in the 2022 Blueprint Challenge. Browne began the project in 2019, drafted it during her MFA at Vermont College of Fine Arts, then used the Blueprint framework to “reverse engineer” the manuscript and discover it lacked plot; the inside outline helped her connect scene events to emotional meaning. After tragedy and other commitments, she returned to revise intensively, resubmitted to her agent, and the novel later sold. Browne also describes submitting pages to the podcast's First Page Lab and learning to absorb both critical and positive feedback.

In a hot seat coaching session on the #amwriting podcast, Jennie Nash coaches Brenna Humphries on a nonfiction proposal for Where It Hurts: A Couple's Guide to Kicking Prostate Cancer, noting a disconnect between the proposal's tone/claims and the sample chapters. They discuss how “salesy” positioning and language that can read as antagonistic toward the medical system may create legal and traditional publishing risks, especially when offering what could be construed as medical advice. Nash suggests shifting authority to lived experience and reframing the book as a framework for how couples navigate diagnosis and decision-making—using structures like key decisions, conversations, or “dates”—while keeping strong scene-based storytelling. Brenna agrees to substantially revise, aiming for a helpful stance that supports patients and partners with questions to ask, teamwork, and process rather than prescriptive medical directives.#AmWriting is a reader-supported publication.

Poy T. Granati of Summer Space Studio returns to Paper Talk Podcast for her third appearance, joining co-hosts Quynh Nguyen, Jessie Chui, and Sara Kim. If you have followed Paper Talk for a while, you will recognize Poy from Episode 8, where we first introduced her, and Episode 135, our Pinterest deep dive that is still one of our most referenced episodes for paper flower artists building organic traffic. This time she joins us from her new home in the Hudson Valley as a new mother. This conversation is the most honest one we have had about what it actually looks like to rebuild a creative business after motherhood. Poy walks us through the structural changes she made to Summer Space Studio: training two instructors to teach her workshops, narrowing her offerings to corporate workshops and brand partnerships, and using Pinterest batch-scheduling to keep her business visible during her hardest months. If you have ever wondered how to pitch corporate workshops as a paper flower artist, this episode is a masterclass. Poy shares the exact three-year follow-up email sequence that landed her a brand partnership with Hermès, breaks down the seven-follow-up rule, and explains how to tie your seasonal offerings to a brand calendar so your cold pitches feel relevant instead of random. She also gets into the corporate workshop markets most paper artists overlook: real estate buildings, breweries, residential properties, tech companies on LinkedIn, and team-building events at companies that have nothing to do with flowers. “I've been emailing Hermès for three years. Following up is the biggest part of not just getting clients, but getting comfortable talking about your offer.” - Poy The second half of the conversation moves to Substack for creative small business owners. Poy launched a new channel called Take Scenic Route, separate from Summer Space Studio, as a digital journal and creative outlet. She gets vulnerable about postpartum anxiety, the question she journaled at three in the morning that changed everything, and her dream of using Substack to build toward a tropical paper flowers book. Quynh shares her own Substack journey with Back to the Basic, and Jessie and Sara weigh in on how to add Substack to an existing creative business without doubling your workload. This is an episode for anyone in a season of figuring it out: new mothers returning to creative work, paper artists pitching corporate clients for the first time, and creative entrepreneurs wondering if their messy, unfiltered self is actually the version that connects. What You Will Hear in this Episode: Why time scarcity after motherhood can actually sharpen productivity and creative decision-making How Poy restructured her business to focus only on corporate workshops and brand partnerships The exact three-year follow-up cadence Poy used to land Hermès How to tie your seasonal offerings to a brand's calendar when cold pitching Why Pinterest batch-scheduling saved her business during early motherhood The two types of workshop clients and how to serve both How to use LinkedIn to find HR managers and book team-building gigs at tech companies Hidden corporate workshop markets: real estate, breweries, residential buildings, nursing homes Why Substack is a low-barrier alternative to Kajabi, Teachable, and Thinkific for creative entrepreneurs How to use Substack as a digital journal, blog, and newsletter without creating more work Why showing up imperfectly is the actual brand strategy Learn more about Poy In 2018, Poy T Granati founded Summer Space (translated as "a happy place") after completing her inspiring "100-days of making" project, where she crafted one flower per day for 100 days and discovered her passion for paper flower artistry. Since then, she has been dedicated to spreading joy through her exquisite and meticulously crafted paper flowers. The artistry of Summer Space has been recognized and featured on the Today Show and Adobe, and the studio has collaborated with prestigious brands such as Papersource, Helix Sleep, IBM, and Maman NYC. Summer Space is currently based out of Hudson Valley, NY.

One more gem of a discovery while formulating my Black Madonna Mysterious Soul Companion course on Teachable, was finding a unique modern image of The Black Madonna of Chartres. I was so taken by it, I decided to follow up with the artist, who is a delightful person based in Gloucester, Massachusetts. She has an entire repertoire of Divine Feminine and Goddess images in addition to The Black Madonna, Isis and Makeda - The Queen of Sheba. The interview explores the inspiration and process that Ms Berger goes through where she allows the artistic expression to come forth.Baraka Robin Berger's work can be found through Etsy at Baraka Berger Art www.etsy.com/shop/ArtoftheGoddessShe also has a Facebook page at Baraka Robin Berger Fine Artshttps://www.facebook.com/p/Baraka-Robin-Berger-Fine-Arts-100031786642313/And Instragram at Barakanrobinhttps://www.instagram.com/barakanrobin/To order The Black Madonna Mysterious Soul Companion course on Teachablelivingpharmacy.teachable.com/l/pdp/the-black-madonna-mysterious-soul-companionTo order The Virgin of Guadalupe, Mysterious Messenger of Destiny on Teachablelivingpharmacy.teachable.com/l/pdp/the-virgin-of-guadalupe-mysterious-messenger-of-destiny#Blackmadonna #DivineFeminine #Art #SacredImage #Chartres #Labyrinth

On the #amwriting podcast's “Margin Notes,” Jennie Nash talks with Dr. Diana Hill (author of Wise Effort) about how the urge to prove yourself—through resumes, accolades, or “pre-order my book” pleas—undermines authenticity and connection, especially when pitching ideas, proposals, or personal brands. Hill describes confronting this while rebranding her website and shifting from listing credentials to articulating the real user experience and who the work is and isn't for, using specific language that reflects her core value of awareness/attunement rather than generic, AI-like claims. They unpack the psychology behind proving (seeking safety, belonging, and autonomy) and suggest asking which need is driving the behavior, aiming instead to demonstrate value, embrace vulnerability, and rely on trusted “tough love” feedback.Books Mentioned* Wise Effort by Dr. Diana HillJoin the Blueprint Summer ChallengeStarting a book?

For many of us, school is out and the Summer holidays have begun. If you are like me, I enjoy light reading during this time and love to delve into a good fiction novel or two during the longer days and less scheduled weekends. As I was researching for the Black Madonna course on Teachable, the algorithm gnomes recommended The Black Madonna and The Young Sculptor since I was searching titles of other books featuring the subject. I had never read a fictional account of anything to do with The Black Madonna and was thoroughly intrigued by the entire title, which included the phrase " Mythic Dimension of Chartres Cathedral." I followed up with the author Eric G. Müller after finishing the book, and found that he had actually contacted me several years before regarding my book! So the arc has been completed, and the interview I hope will inspire you to purchase and enjoy this book as part of your supper reading selections. Eric is an author, publisher and instructor at the Waldorf Teaching Training Program through The Alkion Center. The Center also has a publishing house called Alkion Press.The Black Madonna and the Young Sculptor can be ordered through Alkion Presshttps://www.alkion-press.com/shop/the-black-madonna-and-the-young-sculptorYou can follow Eric through his Website https://www.ericgmuller.comas well as his social media platforms https://www.facebook.com/ericgmullerhttps://www.instagram.com/ericgmuller/Enjoy!To order The Black Madonna Mysterious Soul Companion on Teachable, please visitlivingpharmacy.teachable.com/l/pdp/the-black-madonna-mysterious-soul-companionTo order The Virgin of Guadalupe Mysterious Messenger of Destiny on Teachable , please visitlivingpharmacy.teachable.com/l/pdp/the-virgin-of-guadalupe-mysterious-messenger-of-destiny#blackmadonna #ChartresCathedral #Druids #Anthroposophy #DivineFeminine #France #MontSaintMichel

In the Spring of 2020, author and host Stephanie Georgieff attempted to publish her second book The Virgin of Guadalupe, Mysterious Messenger of Destiny. We know now, this was a difficult time due to the pandemic of that year which stretched on for several following years. This episode is a reading of one of the chapters where Georgieff visits the Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City during the Festival of Guadalupe in December, as well as her experience of the same festival at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles. As the book is being revised, the new material is artfully presented in a course through Teachable. This episode is an introduction to the course and a stand alone celebration of modern encounters with The Virgin of Guadalupe.

When You May Want Extra Support – Counselling This meditation is a support, but it is not a replacement for counselling or therapy**. If you are feeling very overwhelmed, isolated, or if your nervous system feels "stuck", you do not have to go through it alone. If you would like to explore **1:1 counselling with Lauren**, you are warmly invited to book a session here:

We are born to “look for who is looking for us.”    In the Voice of the Heart, which came out years before neuroscience research validated Dr Dodd's work, he writes that we are created by God to seek life to the full, but we can only find that fulfillment in relationship with ourselves (head and heart connected), with other, and with God.    Relational fulfillment is a dictate of our emotional and spiritual genetics. This genetic makeup is so powerful that we will seek a sense of connection that relationship brings in legitimate forms or in illegitimate ways as other episodes have explained, like the recent Addiction Series, Episodes 97-110.   So much of life is about the benefits of relational fulfillment that even the word share means that you receive from others initially, so that you can offer the gifts you have to others—whether that be the flowers you have grown; the experiences you have had; or the love you have received.   We cannot give what we do not have; therefore, we must be open to all that relational fulfillment can offer us, so that we have much to offer others.    Research has shown that gratitude for receiving allows a person to increase their sense of gratitude by giving.   There exists a “child-like” willingness that a person must have to live fully, because relational fulfillment with another person requires that we be: Truthful enough to be trustworthy. Teachable enough to learn how to care well. Humble enough to be open to being relational. Brave enough to face our needs.   Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

What if poetry is not optional to human flourishing, but essential to it? In this second dialogue, John Vervaeke and Adam Walker explore poetry as a way of knowing reality rather than merely describing it. Their conversation moves through imagination, inexhaustible meaning, beauty, sacredness, freedom, embodiment, and the possibility of a new renaissance in culture. Along the way, they discuss voluntary necessity, spiritual senses, participatory knowing, and why modern notions of freedom can become hollow when detached from gratitude, devotion, and love. This is a rich and wide-ranging episode for listeners interested in philosophy, literature, spirituality, and the future of meaning. Adam Walker is a public scholar and recent Harvard PhD graduate whose work explores the spiritual dimensions of poetry. After stepping away from the traditional academy, he founded Versed, a platform devoted to making serious literary study accessible to everyday readers through teaching, close reading, and conversation.
