Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show: Satanic ritual abuse, sexual abuse, and religious abuse survivor, visionary artist and acrylic painter, business owner and entrepreneur, sunset lover, color connoisseur, mental and spiritual health warrior, social media content creator, podcast host, inspiration to survivors all over the world, and someone I'm honored to call my dear friend: Kibbi LingaKibbi's story is one of profound courage rising from the depths of unimaginable darkness. Born into a multi-generational satanic cult where her own mother served as high priestess and primary abuser, Kibbi endured ritual abuse, sexual abuse, religious trauma, and unimaginable cruelty from the very beginning of her life. Hidden behind a facade of Catholicism, the family twisted faith into a weapon, while her mother led harrowing rituals and her father facilitated the aftermath. Some of her earliest memories of being drugged with LSD, conditioned through dolls to repeat the cycle, confined in cages, and forced to witness and participate in atrocities - paint a picture of a childhood stolen by generational trauma and narcissistic control.Yet even in that darkness, a quiet flame of defiance burned within her. As a little girl, Kibbi made a sacred promise to herself: one day she would break free, become an artist, and expose the truth. That promise became her anchor.Today, she is fulfilling it with breathtaking strength. In sharing her testimony, Kibbi courageously honors innocent lives lost to ritualistic and organized abuse - such as young Sam, whose memory she carries with tenderness and purpose. Every step of her healing journey has been hard-won, a testament to her resilience as she reclaims her voice, her power, and her future. Through it all, art emerged as her sanctuary, her rebellion, and ultimately her redemption. Painting became the lifeline that lifted her from despair, allowing her to breathe, create, and connect with the world in ways trauma once tried to silence.From those painted expressions of pain and triumph, Kibbi Linga Art Gallery was born - a radiant space where her canvases speak powerfully of survival, transformation, and hope. Each piece stands as living proof that even the deepest wounds can become sources of light, that creativity can rewrite the darkest scripts, and that one determined soul can break generational chains and inspire countless others to do the same. In Kibbi's past episodes, we have discussed her testimony and pieces of her recovery journey. Today, years into her healing and recovery journey, she is finally experiencing joy, peace, contentment and happiness in moments and in ways she never thought possible. With so many other survivors suffering today through similar recovery journeys through traumatic and extreme ritualistic abuse, the bridge between recovering memories and living life as normally as possible is an entire testimony of it's own for those who walk that path. And Kibbi is here today to share her own journey of recovery including where she looked for help, how she navigated and overcame triggers and negative beliefs, how she stayed motivated in times where it would have been easier to give up or quit, resources that helped her along the way, the healing power of creativity and art, how she came to view her testimony as a privilege and gift to give others, and so much more. Kibbi's journey reminds us all: no matter how overwhelming the darkness once was, the human spirit—when fueled by courage, creativity, and unwavering hope—can rise, create beauty, and light the way forward for others. She is not only surviving; she is thriving, creating, and shining as a beacon of healing and empowerment.Kibbi's unbreakable spirit is a powerful reminder that healing is possible, that voices silenced for generations can roar with truth and beauty, and that every brushstroke she makes is an act of victory. She is living proof that trauma does not get the final word - light, love, and creativity do. She continues to shine brightly as a warrior artist; the world is brighter because she refused to stay broken and instead chose to become a masterpiece of resilience.CONNECT WITH KIBBI:Website: https://kibbilinga.com/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kibbi.linga?_t=8mJyYgVcFGF&_r=1IG: https://www.instagram.com/kibbi.linga/ & https://www.instagram.com/kibbi.linga.art/Twitter: https://twitter.com/KibbiLingaLinkTree: https://linktr.ee/KibbilingaCONNECT WITH EMMA:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialRumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationVENMO: @emmapreneurCASHAPP: $EmmaKatherine1204All links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastSupport the show

Most leaders are quietly using AI tools to get more done, but the real question isn't whether AI can automate tasks. It's whether your team can do the work AI can't: building relationships, pushing the frontier, and creating ideas that didn't exist before. Steven Puri, founder of The Sukha Company and a veteran of motion picture studios, three startups, and $20M in venture funding, brings a refreshingly grounded take on what humans need to protect in the age of LLMs. In this conversation, Dr. Shari Simpson and Steven Puri cover: • Why flow states are the human edge AI can't replicate, and how to build them into your team's schedule • How hiring for culture alignment (not just skills) is the real foundation for unlocking deep work • The difference between productive AI use and the 'foductivity' trap where tools create the illusion of output Timestamps 00:00:15 Steven's background: motion picture studios, $20M venture, three startups 00:02:00 What LLMs actually are and why they're the forcing function for workplace productivity 00:04:33 The jobs AI will replace first and why repetitive task workers should pay attention 00:06:00 The two futures of work: tech trillionaires vs. skilled laborers, and what's missing 00:07:56 Defining flow state: the psychology behind deep work and why it takes 20-23 minutes to enter 00:09:30 The river metaphor: how Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi defined flow and why it stuck 00:11:18 The interruption cost: why a single distraction sets you back 20+ minutes 00:13:16 Flow state conditions: why 'exploring Claude' doesn't count and what does 00:17:27 When a flow state app doesn't help: the meeting-heavy leader problem 00:21:00 The hiring argument: why culture alignment is the prerequisite for deep work on your team Guest: Steven Puri is the founder of The Sukha Company, a platform designed to help knowledge workers achieve flow states and do their best work. Steven has been a senior executive at multiple motion picture studios, raised over $20 million in venture capital, and built three startups, including one successful exit. He speaks and writes frequently on flow states, deep work, and what it means to do human-only work in an AI-saturated world. He's based in Austin, Texas.

From the Thriving & Wholeness Series | A New Level Awaits YouWhat happens after the wound begins to close… but healing isn't complete?In this powerful episode, Scabs & Scars, we explore the tender and often overlooked stages of healing after betrayal. Scabs form to protect—but if we keep reopening the wound, true healing is delayed. Scars remain—but they don't have to carry pain; they can become testimonies of God's restoration.Through Scripture, reflection, and practical insight, this episode uncovers how unresolved pain, hidden triggers, and unhealed places can quietly shape our identity and responses. You'll be invited to recognize where you may still be protecting wounds instead of fully surrendering them to God's healing process.With truth anchored in passages like Psalm 147:3 and Isaiah 61:1, this episode will encourage you to trust God not just with the injury—but with the entire healing journey.You are not meant to live guarded, stuck, or defined by what hurt you. Healing is not just possible—it's promised.Because scars are not signs of defeat… they are evidence that God restores.

What actually makes a good life, especially in the midst of ordinary stress and complexity? In this episode, I explore the positive qualities that help us move beyond simply surviving and into a more grounded, thriving way of being. Rather than focusing only on reducing suffering, I'm highlighting the life-giving qualities that help us navigate reality with greater strength, wisdom, and purpose.        You'll be encouraged to reflect on which qualities already come naturally, which feel harder to access, and which you want more of in your life. By putting these qualities on your radar, you'll gain a clearer sense of what supports flourishing and what may be worth intentionally cultivating moving forward.                  Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/223           Join the Habits on Purpose newsletter for extra tools, prompts, and stories between episodes: https://habitsonpurpose.com/

Featuring: Judah Thomas, David LaManna, Lenny Salgado, Johnny V., Ben Cossette, Mike McHugh, and James GowellEdited by: Tim NicholsonIn this episode of Thriving in the Word, we kick off a brand-new series — The Hall of Faith — and we don't start with the obvious heroes. We start at the beginning, with two brothers, one altar, and a question from God that changes everything.We walk through Genesis 4 and trace it into Hebrews 11:4, where Abel — a man who died at the hands of his own brother — is listed among the greatest acts of faith ever recorded. That's not an accident. That's a statement.We talk about what made Abel's offering acceptable and Cain's rejected — and it has everything to do with the heart behind the worship, not just the act itself.That leads us into some honest, uncomfortable questions:Are we bringing God what He asks for — or what's convenient for us?What do we do when we do the right thing and it still don't get what we expected?Is there an area of your life right now where sin is crouching at the door — and you already know it?From there, the conversation moves into the reality of unchecked anger, jealousy, and pride — and how quickly they move from a feeling to a decision to a consequence we can't take back.Hebrews calls Abel a man of faith — even after his death, he still speaks. This episode asks the question: what will your life say when it's over? Are you building something that outlasts you, or are you slowly negotiating away the things that matter most?Topics include: Hall of Faith, Hebrews 11, Genesis 4, Cain and Abel, faith and worship, acceptable offering, heart posture, jealousy and envy, anger, sin crouching at the door, God's warning, Abel's legacy, faith after death, spiritual formation, denying yourself, obedience, doing what is right, God's mercy, grace, discipleship, endurance, and the question we all eventually face: Are you doing what is right — or just what feels right?This faith-based Christian podcast is for anyone who wants Bible teaching that doesn't stay on the surface — because real faith isn't just believed, it's lived.More Info: https://www.thrive.church Give: https://www.thrive.church/give/ Need prayer? prayer@thrive.churchThis is a presentation of Thrive.Church. © All Rights Reserved.

Today's guest is Dr. Keith Morneau, an experienced cybersecurity professional who currently serves as Dean of Computer and Information Science at ECPI University. Steve and Kieth discuss the future of the cyber workforce, cyber education, and if AI is taking our jobs. Steve also asks Keith to step into the shoes of a CEO…Key Takeaways: In today's cyber world, having an understanding of how systems interact is more important than ever. People with non-technical backgrounds are often quick learners when it comes to cyber, and bring in fresh perspectives.  In new hires, executives should look for people who understand how to work with AI.  Tune in to hear more about: How AI can help junior staff and those entering the cyber workforce (6:15) Dr. Morneau's ”prepare, practice, perform, assess” philosophy (13:23) One obsolete role chief executives should stop hiring for, and one emerging role they haven't even thought about yet (21:15)  Standout Quotes: “We're really still in the baby steps of AI, in the beginning stages of it. What I've noticed of a lot of folks, there's AI there, but they're not 100% understanding how it all works, how the AI actually has to be trained and all that. I think over time what we'll see is the increase in knowledge and skill set using AI for what they're doing in their jobs should help with the bottom line over time.” - Dr. Keith Morneau “The biggest issue in cybersecurity are the AI systems that are very vulnerable to attacks.” - Dr. Keith Morneau “The type of person you need to look at is the person who's able to use AI to do the job that you need them to be able to do better and faster, and be more efficient at it. What you have to be careful of is the people that are going to be obsolete are the ones that are basically fighting the AI and not using AI at all to help them, because that is pretty much they are going to be dinosaurs soon, if they're not already dinosaurs.” - Dr. Keith Morneau Read the transcript of this episodeSubscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcastsConnect with us on LinkedIn and TwitterFrom the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

Regret has a way of lingering long after betrayal and brokenness have shaken our lives. In this powerful episode of A New Level Awaits You, we step into the tension of what we wish we could undo—the words we didn't say, the boundaries we didn't set, the trust we gave too freely, or the choices made in the aftermath of deep hurt.Joined by special guest Nadine Brown, this conversation gently but boldly uncovers how regret often attaches itself to betrayal, quietly shaping how we see ourselves, others, and even God. But regret does not have to become your identity—or your future.Drawing from the heart of the Thriving & Wholeness Series and insights from Freedom After Betrayal, this episode offers a path forward. Together, we explore how to: Release the weight of “if only” and “what if”  Break agreement with false guilt and misplaced responsibility  Allow God to redeem even the moments we wish we could erase  Step into healing that leads not just to survival—but to thriving If betrayal has left you carrying regret, this episode is an invitation to lay it down. You are not defined by what happened to you—or even how you responded in the pain. There is still a new level waiting for you.✨ Because betrayal does not get the final word—and neither does regret.More resources, go to www.loisflewelling.com.

What was supposed to be a weekend side-hustle has grown into a full-time family affair for Donna-Marie Carr, her husband and their three children.

Mother's Day is complicated, for almost all of us. In this episode, Dani gets real about what it means to mother yourself when the holiday brings up more grief than gratitude. She shares a conversation from her massage therapist that stopped her in her tracks, why being alone with yourself is actually the goal, and why what we don't heal, we pass on. In this episode, Dani talks about why Mother's Day brings up so much for so many of us, what it actually looks like to mother yourself as a grown woman (and why it's not selfish), the one thing her acupuncture therapist said about being alone with yourself that changed her perspective, how to stop running on fumes and start prioritizing yourself without the guilt, and why what we don't heal, we pass on to the people we love most. If you're navigating complicated feelings this Mother's Day, or any day, this episode will feel like a deep breath and a hug and a kick in the ass all at once.

The Golden Crew is BACK after a week off (sorry Tom, your mom's move was worth it) and we are loaded down with cruise news, speakpipe love, and one very questionable tattoo conversation.First up — Tom's mom has officially landed in Tulsa, which means Tom is now headed to Dallas because apparently you CAN have too much of a good thing. He's got 60 days, a two-bedroom apartment, and presumably no noisy ceiling fan to sit under (yet).Then we get into the heavy stuff. There's a real situation unfolding aboard the M/V Hondius near Cape Verde — three deaths, multiple severe illnesses, and a hantavirus outbreak that's sent even the responding doctor home sick. Trevor breaks down what we know so far (this is developing, so things may have changed by the time you hear this), and Tom reminds everyone that the Black Plague WAS, in fact, transmitted by mice. Educational AND terrifying. The Kennedy household hantavirus deterrent system (a cat) was also very vocal during this segment.In happier-ish news, Carnival's VIFP terms of service are changing September 1st, and Trevor has STRONG feelings about the folks out there opting out as a protest. Spoiler: opt in. Trust us. Don't slam the door on Papa Carnival just because you're mad. Also, MSC, if you're listening, we are absolutely available.Tom is officially considering a Margaritaville tattoo, and we need your help.

What if so much of our suffering comes from trying to become who we think we're supposed to be? In this episode, I sit down with meditation teachers Jeff Warren and Tasha Schumann for a wide-ranging, deeply practical conversation about mindfulness, creativity, neurodiversity, and how to let go of the societal “shoulds” that keep us disconnected from ourselves.This conversation felt especially personal to me because so much of it mirrors what I've been exploring in my own life as an athlete, a mom, a coach, and now as a writer. We talk about identity transitions, performance-based striving, how endurance sport became a doorway into self-inquiry for me, and why mindfulness has to move beyond the meditation cushion if it's actually going to change your life.Jeff and Tasha bring warmth, honesty, and a refreshing lack of dogma to this conversation. We explore the tension between external pressure and internal truth, the role of creativity and joy in a meaningful life, and the practical skills of mindfulness: concentration, clarity, and equanimity.If you've ever felt like you're doing all the “right” things but still feel disconnected, if meditation apps feel shallow, or if you're trying to find a more authentic way to strive, this conversation is for you.Top 5 TakeawaysA lot of suffering comes from “shoulds”: External expectations can disconnect us from our actual nature and values.Mindfulness has to move into real life: It's not just about sitting on a cushion, it's about how you return to the present in parenting, work, conflict, and creativity.Neurodiversity can be a doorway, not a deficit: Different ways of thinking can challenge conformity and open new paths to self-acceptance.Meditation builds trainable skills: Jeff and Tasha emphasize three core capacities: concentration, clarity, and equanimity.Thriving is not about becoming perfect: It's about becoming more authentic, more connected, and more able to stay with your experience as it is.LINKSSolo about the problem with shouldMindfulness in Action: Letting Go of ShouldCheck out Jeff and Tasha's podcast Mind Bod PodFollow Tasha's Substack Bodhi Savage--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.

In this solo master's class episode of the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I want to talk straight with you about why creative financing is absolutely thriving in this market and why I believe so many investors will look back a few years from now and wish they had leaned in harder. A lot of people keep saying this feels like 2008 all over again. It does not. The stats are different, the problems are different, and because of that, the opportunity is different too. Today's market is not primarily distress-driven. It is structure-driven. Sellers are stuck with low-rate mortgages they do not want to give up, buyers are stuck with payments they cannot comfortably afford, and right in the middle of that gap is where creative real estate shines.     I break down why the current market favors terms more than ever, why rent-to-own is becoming even more attractive, why debt-free homes and strong equity levels make this market fundamentally different from the 2008 crash, and how smart investors can use all of that to create quality income instead of staying trapped on the transactional treadmill. I also walk through what I mean by quality versus quantity of income, using a real example of how just one year of three-payday deals can create long-term, staggered income that changes the way you live and invest.    If you want to stop waiting on the market to "get better" and start understanding how to structure deals that work right now, this episode is for you.   Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 01:14 What makes this market different from 2008 02:22 The impact of AI and job security on real estate 03:03 Understanding the changing demographics of first-time home buyers 04:22 Why creative financing is a necessity today 05:31 Creative financing strategies: Seller financing, lease purchases, sub-to deals 06:15 Market differences: Equity and lending stability 08:21 Using creative financing as a strategic edge in today's market 09:00 Structure-driven vs. distress-driven markets 10:56 Solving seller problems through terms 12:30 Quality of income vs. quantity of income 13:43 12-month case study: Results and staggered income 15:33 Applying strategies to various asset classes 17:42 Streamlining with Propsperity.io   Quotables   "When you control the terms, you control the deal."   "The opportunity isn't in the cheaper money. It's in a better, smarter, long-term structure."   "You're not just looking to buy houses. You're asking what problem can you solve."   Links   3 Paydays® Live https://3paydayslive.com/podcast   Free Discovery Call https://smartrealestatecoachpodcast.com/discovery   3 Paydays® System Mastery Course - Use coupon code for 50% off https://smartrealestatecoach.com/qls Coupon code: pod   Apprentice Program 3PaydaysApprentice.com/Podcast    Masterclass https://smartrealestatecoach.com/masterspodcast   3 Paydays Books https://3paydaysbooks.com/podcast   Partners https://smartrealestatecoach.com/podcastresources

We're paying for it with the draining people in our life, unhealed wounds we can't seem to get through, the constant second-guessing ourselves with decisions, and trying to be everything to everyone.
