Beautiful starseeds, this one is potent! In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Lisa Thompson, a multidimensional awakening guide, evolutionary biologist, and galactic ambassador. Her story is powerful, emotional, and deeply activating. I felt waves of tingles and energy moving through my spine all through this conversation, and I know many of you will feel the same. Dr. Lisa shares her profound awakening journey, the soul contract that played out through her husband's suicide, and how that catalyzed her role as a galactic ambassador. She talks about her connection with the Arcturian being Uluru, the Orion wars, and how she channels 13 higher dimensional ET races to support human ascension. We also explore: The accelerated evolution humanity is going through right now Choosing timelines and why your emotional state and focus matter so much How to curate your reality by stepping out of politics and fear based media Galactic DNA, so called "junk" DNA, and the 22 ET races in our lineage The role of Arcturians, Sirians, Mantid beings, and others in our multidimensional awakening How her husband's transition actually anchored her deeper into her highest path Dr. Lisa has a PhD in evolutionary biology and bridges science and spirituality in a grounded and beautiful way. She offers the Infinity Healing Method, energy healing certifications, transformational courses, and a Multidimensional Awakening kit with guided journeys and an ascension workbook.
In this week's episode, I talk about what it means to be "in the tunnel" and why the squeeze is often a sign that you're crossing into a new timeline. I share how to release the need for 3D evidence without letting go of the vision, and why real wealth expansion starts with cleaning up what drains your energy. We explore the idea of effortless boundaries that come from self-expression, not force, and how shifting your identity changes what you can hold and receive. I also break down one of the biggest turning points with money and investing: separating intuition from fear. When fear starts posing as a "feeling," it can quietly sabotage long-term decisions, especially when the market moves. This episode is an invitation to stop chasing proof, stop rubber-banding back into old patterns, and start living as the version of you who can feel what's true then let money meet you there. If this episode speaks to you, we talk further about these exact topics with The Spiritual Investor Club Advanced. Visit thespiritualinvestor.com to join today.
When God moves, a shift takes place. Heaven responds. Mountains start moving. Seas start parting. Walls start crumbling. Chains start breaking. When God moves, impossible becomes possible. It happens in an instant when God moves. However you and I do not know when God will move. We don't know his timing. We don't see the […]

What if everything you know about reality, intelligence, science, aliens, and even your own body…is wrong? In this mind-expanding conversation of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Stephen Wolfram — the legendary computer scientist, theoretical physicist, mathematician, founder of Wolfram Research — reveals how the groundbreaking technologies he created are re-shaping our understanding of the universe itself. We dive into the limits of science, the secrets of biological evolution, and why computational irreducibility may explain why some mysteries of nature can never be predicted, only experienced. Dr. Wolfram breaks down whether his computations suggest humanity is cosmically significant…or completely insignificant in a universe built from the same atoms repeating the same rules everywhere. Discover why the objective reality you experience as a human might be totally different for other species, and why this could be the key to understanding alien intelligence, extrasensory perception, and why there might be alien minds all around us right now that we simply can't perceive. Dr. Stephen Wolfram also breaks down: - Does the body have its own language? (And, if so, what autoimmune disease might be “saying") - What can truly be built from random mutation, and why evolution even works at all - How reductionist science is limiting medicine, and how living matter actually behaves - Why AI may function as an alien mind, and what that reveals about the shocking simplicity of human language - What makes the human mind special, how we evolved this way, and why that very fact proves we are not the most advanced species possible - Do computers use a form of telepathy to communicate with one another? He even takes us behind the scenes of his work as a consultant on the hit film ARRIVAL, explaining how alien logograms connect to his research on how language shapes human thought, what abstract concepts a bigger brain could comprehend, and what kinds of ideas we might be biologically incapable of imagining. If you're fascinated by astrophysics, AI, consciousness, aliens, evolution, mathematics, language, or the limits of human understanding, this episode of MBB will challenge everything you think you know!

PSA for AI builders: Interested in alignment, governance, or AI safety? Learn more about the MATS Summer 2026 Fellowship and submit your name to be notified when applications open: https://matsprogram.org/s26-tcr.

In this episode, we dive into Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk—the movie that weaponizes sound design, disorientation, and narrative chaos to make you feel like you're drowning in tension even when the characters aren't in the water (yet). We break down the film's infamous three timelines, why Nolan thinks clocks are a personality trait, and how the movie somehow maintains zero chill for 106 minutes straight. We also talk about Hans Zimmer's “I hope you like panic attacks” score, Tom Hardy acting exclusively with his eyeballs, and Nolan's ongoing war against traditional storytelling. If you've ever wondered why Dunkirk feels like a cinematic escape room run by a sadistic genius, this is your episode. ----more---- Thank you so much for listening!

In this “Timelines” episode, we connect three iconic sites built during the same era: Petra's stunning rock-cut city in Jordan, the mysterious Nazca Lines etched across Peru's desert, and the monumental Great Wall of China. Explore how the Nabataeans engineered Petra's hidden oasis, why the Nazca created massive geoglyphs only visible from above, and what drove dynasties to construct thousands of miles of wall across China. Discover the origins, uses, and enduring mysteries of these world wonders, and see how ancient ingenuity and ambition shaped civilizations across continents—all within a shared moment in history.LinksSegment 1: PetraBedal, L.

Speaker 1: This week on Retirement Planning Redefined, still a lot of questions out there about the Big Beautiful Bill and what happened earlier this year and some of those changes. So, we thought we would talk about that and touch on that as the year is winding down here on the podcast. So, stick around. Let's get into it. Hey, everybody. Welcome into Retirement Planning Redefined with John and Nick from PFG Private Wealth. Find them online at pfgprivatewealth.com. Guys, I know it's been around for a couple of months now, half a year or whatever, but still a lot of questions and things going on with the Big Beautiful Bill changes, especially as it affects retirees and pre-retirees. So, we thought we would dive back in and have a conversation on some of this and just maybe touch on some of the things you guys are still hearing a few months later and see if we can break this down a little bit for folks and help them out. John, how are you doing this week? John: Hey, I'm doing all right. Just getting ready for Thanksgiving here and just looking for some downtime right now. Speaker 1: Yeah, it's right here upon us. Nick, you're double whammy. You got Thanksgiving and then you got a wedding right after that. So, congratulations and happy holidays. Nick: Thanks. Yeah, it's going to be a busy end of the year. Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. Well, speaking of, let's get into our topic here because there's lot of stuff that's happening and changes and whatnot. So, let's just dive into some of the things and break some things down. The big piece obviously was that the tax brackets that we were under the TCJA since 2017 got extended. All year, we were wondering if that was going to happen as the year was winding down. This stuff was going to wrap up at the end of this year, but they extended it and they made it permanent. So, talk to me about that, whoever wants to take this. That's interesting language and confusion for some people, but what's your thoughts on the tax brackets being extended? John: Yeah, so the tax brackets from 2017 now remain in place where they were set to expire. So, they're as permanent as I guess you could be when it comes to tax brackets- Speaker 1: To Washington. John: ... to Congress. Yeah, exactly. So, obviously, Congress can make some changes at some point, but for right now, this is where we are. For retirees, important to take a look at historically where tax brackets have been and if you really pay attention where in some pretty low tax brackets if you look throughout time. So, now could be advantageous to some people to really develop some strategies to take advantage of this low tax bracket period for themselves because permanent doesn't mean too permanent as we just discussed. Depending on what happens, the next administration, things could not become permanent. Speaker 1: So I mean, one of the things Roth conversions has been really on the radar for many people for the last number of years because to your point of the historical tax lows, so now you do have some time to Roth over time for at least a couple more years anyway, until what, '28 or '29 potentially. John: Yeah, so Roth conversions is definitely something we implement for clients, and while this is going to be in place for the next few years. Maybe we get a little bit more aggressive and I think we're going to touch on it a little bit more in the podcast. We'll talk about some of the pitfalls to avoid with that because there are some new deductions that you want to remain below. Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure. Well, Nick, let's have you just jump in and tackle some of that. So, talk to me about some of the deductions, the standard stuff, some of these other pieces that they locked into place and some things we might want to know and think about. Nick: So for people that aren't familiar with the jargon when it comes to the tax or they don't prepare themselves, essentially people have two options. They can either use the standard deduction, which is what the majority of W-2 earners do especially or they can itemize. So, the reason that people would itemize historically is they would have enough expenses maybe through a business, maybe through interest from a mortgage or kids or different things that would allow them to itemize and there'd be a benefit to them from a tax perspective. But when this was originally put into place and the standard deduction was increased, it really shifted it to people being able to just, for the most part, use the standard deduction, which previously about $29,500 for joint, $14,600 for single, and the updated number is going to be $31,500 for joint and then $15,750 for single. So, it's bumped up a little bit. Years ago, it was lower, and so there would be a lot of people that would get caught between the standard and the itemized, but it is a benefit for quite a bit of people. Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, there's some decent numbers here we're talking about. When you take the standard deductions, it's going to be hard to get there, but you could really make a big dent. We'll talk about some of the add-on deductions as well here in a second. Does the SALT cap change a lot of things for you guys in Florida? I'm not sure versus other states like New York or California, New Jersey, and I guess maybe to clarify, John, what is the SALT cap and can you break that down a little bit? John: So I'll punt this to Nick. He just actually did this with a client. So, he can give a personal story, which is probably better than me. Nick: Yeah. So, the SALT cap is really state and local tax. It is or historically has been much more relevant in states that have higher property tax and/or state income tax. So, a lot of the northeast states, really just a lot of states in general. Here in Florida, we don't necessarily run into this a ton, however, we do have quite a few clients that do the snowbird thing. Speaker 1: Yeah, sure. Nick: So they have to incorporate taxes in other states and that thing. So, the reality is that it had previously been a benefit for people that were paying a large state income and/or property taxes. They could use it to offset the tax that they paid against their federal income. I guess when the legislation was changed, I think it was like 2017, 2018, they had reduced that SALT cap to $10,000. So, that really had an impact from the perspective of especially high income earners in states that had those different taxes that were applicable. It did cause a decently effective increase in taxes for them. So, with the good old lobbying that's done, they went ahead and increased that from the $10,000 that's been in place for the last five, six years to $40,000 cap for incomes below $500,000. So, although we don't see it here, we have recently had some clients moving into homes that do have pretty significant property taxes. Although they're not paying state income tax, the level of the property taxes where they've gotten with the run-up in real estate around this area, it has become a little bit more relevant than it was previously. Speaker 1: And so that could make a difference. So, again, you want to make sure that of all these changes that are potentially there, you're talking with your financial professional and your CPAs and working together on making sure that you're being as effective as possible. So, John, you punted that one back over to Nick. I'll give you this one, the senior deduction. There was a lot of talk, obviously, a lot of campaigning on just getting rid of taxes on social security. They did their bartering and their deals and they came up with this senior citizen deduction. I mean, it's not bad for a number of years. It's like you're not paying social security taxes, but it's a little confusing for folks. So, can you break down some of the data on that? John: Yeah, so it was initially discussed as, "Hey, we're going to eliminate social security tax." This has come up a little bit with some clients asking, "Hey, did they get rid of it?" And the answer is, your social security still is taxed, but if you're above the age of 65, you do get what they call a senior citizen deduction. That's $6,000 per person, $12,000 married filing jointly, and there are some income limits to it. The single is $75,000 and the joint is $150,000. So, I would say over the last few months, we have been doing quite a bit of planning to make sure people stay below these thresholds to maximize the deduction and when we're doing our projections for this year and upcoming years, for some people, it's a big difference. It's a nice little benefit for these retirees who unfortunately over the last few years are really impacted with inflation. I mean, the cost of everything is up. I know CPI recently, I think last year was like 2 to 3% or something, which doesn't feel like that, but if you're on a fixed income, this is a pretty big deal. So, it's nice to see some of these retirees get some relief, but especially with this one more than others, I think if you can stay below those income thresholds, now's the time to do it because as of now, they're expiring in 2028. So, you really only have about two or three years to really take advantage of this. Speaker 1: Be effective. Yeah. I mean to your point, Nick earlier was talking about the $31,500 for the standard, and then you slap another $12,000 for married, right? Then you slap another $12,000 on here. I mean, that's pretty hefty, right? So you could get really efficient with this. It's just a matter of making sure that you're, again, jumping in and taking advantage of it while you can. Any thoughts on that, Nick? Nick: Yeah, no, just like anything else, what you can see a little bit with some of these changes are that there's certain gaps that it's stepped in to help with. The reality is a lot of times it's going to be people that are middle, upper middle class, but from a tax perspective, so if they can keep their income under the 150 for a joint household, that tends to be a middle, upper middle class family. Speaker 1: Well, it's funny you say that because there was so much argument about, "Oh, they're going to do stuff for just the wealthy," but a lot of the changes that were put in on the Big Beautiful Bill really actually do help lower and middle class like these. So, I mean, I think there's some good benefits to the bill for everybody. There's some things that obviously are a little weird too. Nick: Oh, for sure. Speaker 1: You got to be effective with it. Nick: Yeah, yeah, for sure. The devil's always in the details. Absolutely. That's the case with any legislation that is this large and this comprehensive. But those are the standard deduction and the senior citizen deduction are definitely two that are going to have a pretty substantial impact on a large group of people. Speaker 1: John, I'm going to go back to you for a minute because we were talking about the Roth earlier. We tossed that in there at the beginning piece there. Again, clearly, this is a good time to think about the fact that it is still alive for a little bit. So, again, Rothing over time is back on that table as we talked about, and so that may be a really effective part of your strategy. You do not want to ignore it because it still could be a limited window. John: Correct, yeah. So, definitely that's one thing we're looking at currently is what's the right amount of Roth conversions to be doing at this time. So, it is a great time to- Speaker 1: Any traps in there? Any pitfalls we should be aware of? John: Yeah, so I was going to say there's definitely a good time to be aggressive with it, but with this new senior citizen deduction, if you're doing some conversions, you want to make sure you stay below those thresholds to take advantage of that additional $6,000 per person. So, now is a great time to be aggressive with this, but at the same time, you want to be cautious because there are some things you could be missing out on if you get too aggressive. So, like we've always said, look at the plan, talk to your CPA, talk to your financial advisor. One of the most important things going into retirement is avoid unnecessary taxes. So, it's just an eroding factor on your money. So, if you can avoid it, that just helps you overall. Speaker 1: Well, people tend to stay confused if we don't do this about the whole brackets and the steps anyway, right? Because I think a lot of people think, "Oh, I'm in the 22% bracket. That stayed. Yay, cool. I'm still there. I don't have to go up," but every dollar is taxed at that and that's not how it works. That's what I think confuses people. So, when you're talking about maximizing your Roth or something like that, you want to maximize those steps in that bucket, if you will. So, that you just don't pop into the next bracket if you can. Is that accurate? John: Correct, yes. You definitely want stay within the bracket, not really jump up, and sometimes it's okay to jump up as long as you understand how much- Speaker 1: Yeah, not every dollar is going to be at 24 if you popped up to 24. John: Correct, yeah. I mean, we have some clients that are doing some Roth conversions from an inheritance standpoint, so they look at it and say, "Well, I'll pay 22 so my kid doesn't have to pay 30, whatever, whatever it is." Speaker 1: Right, yeah. John: Depending on your situation, you really want to pay attention to what bracket you'll be, what your effective rate is, and just don't do it willy-nilly. You want a strategy. Speaker 1: Yeah, if you have $1 million you want to convert from a traditional 401 over to a Roth, you want to make sure that you're not going bracket busting on that, right? Don't do it all at one time. Again, Roth over time, right? That's the conversation piece there. So, what else is of note in the bills, guys? Nick, what's some other things that jumped out at you? Nick: Yeah, I think it's definitely less applicable for many people, but they did bring back bonus depreciation for... It's typically used by small businesses or landlords, oftentimes applies to qualified business expense or rental property purchase. For example, it can have to do with vehicles, large equipment where a company can accelerate the depreciation into the year, instead of spreading it out over multiple times, which can help offset if they're having a really good year from an income perspective or just bring down the taxes in general. From the standpoint of a couple of other things, I'll have John speak to the EV credit because he took advantage of pretty much all the EV stuff that you could. But one of the deductions, additional deductions that they had put in place is for auto loan interest deduction. So, it's an above the line. It applies to cars purchased in 2025 or later, and the car has to have final assembly in the US. Speaker 1: That's a funny one right there. It's like how much of that this qualifies, right? So what's final assembly mean? Is there a percentage break? Nick: There's definitely cheat sheets out there. Ask your local AI machine. Speaker 1: Or dealership I suppose. Nick: Yeah, yeah, the dealers will definitely know, but once again, there's an income threshold on that. So, income above $100,000 won't qualify. From a charitable giving standpoint, there is an above the line deduction for people that do not itemize. So, $1,000 per person or $2,000 for married filed and jointly. Speaker 1: It's not a lot, but I mean it's still something, especially in the season of giving, right? It's above the line. So, give some money. Nick: Yeah, exactly. John: Better than nothing. Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Nick: For sure. Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. Well, what about that EV thing, John? John: Yeah, so the vehicle EV credit went away at the end of September, so that one can no longer be used. So, that was if you bought new, there was a tax credit you could obtain and then if you bought used, there was something you could actually get as well depending on the value of the car. If you were actually leasing, basically, the dealership got the credit, which would hopefully reduce your payment depending on how good you are at negotiating. Speaker 1: Got you. John: But the big one that we've been talking to clients about, and I did myself, which Nick was referencing, was solar panels. So, after 12/31/2025, you will not get that 30% reduction for solar panel installation on your house. Speaker 1: Yeah, it might not be enough time now, huh? I wonder if you could get that done. John: It depends how quick your contractor is. I'll tell you, by the time I agreed to mine, I thought it'd be about a month out and I think within two to three weeks, they got me on the calendar and put it in. So, I had mine in much faster than anticipated, which I was happy about, but it's a 30% tax credit. If you put some solar panels on the roof, it just has to be installed by 12/31. It doesn't have to pass inspection or anything as far as I know. It needs to be installed by that date. But I'll tell you, for those that are comparing this, I just got my first bill from the energy company and there still is a fee to be on their grid. In Florida here, apparently with these hurricanes, there's additional fees that we're getting charged to build the grid back up and to pay for the emergency services. A funny conversation with the person, I said, "Well, when it's built back up, does this go away or whenever we're done paying for the cost of the emergency services?" Yeah, that's a good question. Speaker 1: That's a question. John: Well, let's take a look at that. Speaker 1: On ours here in North Carolina, we have storm repair tax or whatever. It's been on there for a number of years now, and it's like, but when the storms are repaired, what then? Ongoing storm. John: I'm like, "Okay, so this is just an ongoing bill-" Speaker 1: Pretty much. John: ... regardless of my usage that I'm doing here. Speaker 1: Another way for them to just hit us with something and go, "Oh, but it's necessary." Yeah. Okay. All right. Well, final one here I thought was interesting was the no tax on tips one, right? Might not affect necessarily your client base, but maybe their kids or grandkids, especially a lot of service industry in Florida. So, no tax on tips up to 25 grand, I think, and that's temporary as well, but that could be interesting. Any final thoughts as we go to wrap this up guys? Anything, Nick, on something we should do now or be effective as the year's winding down? Nick: I mean, I wouldn't say that there's a lot to do before the end of the year when it relates to this. I think this is a good example though, and one of the conversations that we have with people is that just because a certain strategy is best now doesn't mean it's going to be best in 5 years or 10 years or 15 years. So, when you see a bill like this and with the different changes, something's becoming permanent, something's changing, new rules that are built into sunset, it just shows you how important it's to plan, to build in flexibility, have options both now or later on in retirement, have different buckets of money and really just have a strategy moving forward so that you can benefit no matter what's happening. Speaker 1: All right. John, final thoughts from you? John: Not too much. I think we hit mostly everything. I think just being aware of where we are. Historically, tax brackets to me is something to take a look at because I think part of this new bill added, I think, 2.4 trillion of new debt over the next 10 years and I think 4 trillion increase in debt ceiling. So, there's a lot of- Speaker 1: Future tax liability. John: There's a lot of trillions getting created here. So, just be wary of what's down the road. So, it's good to just take a look at your overall strategy. Speaker 1: Yeah, good point. Timelines, definitely got still a couple of years left, but just be effective and get on it as soon as possible because we all know time just zings it right by.

✨ ABOUT THIS EPISODEFriend… if you've been feeling that tug — that quiet whisper that says “There's more for me and I can feel it trying to break through” — this episode is your activation. Today, we're diving headfirst into quantum confidence, identity integrity, and the spiritual physics behind collapsing timelines. Because you don't manifest what you want… you magnetize what you're aligned with. And the moment you start living in agreement with your future self? Baby, everything accelerates.In this soulful, truth-telling episode, I break down how to finally embody the woman you've been praying to become. We explore energetic honesty, emotional sobriety, and how to stop negotiating your worth so your destiny can rise to meet you. You'll learn the exact shifts that help you get out of your head, back into your spirit, and aligned with the version of you who's already thriving in the timeline you want to collapse into.If you're ready to stop playing small, stop arguing with your future, and step fully into your Main Character Era, this episode will walk you straight into identity alignment with clarity, conviction, and confidence.
Transformation rarely fails for lack of effort; it stalls when our internal baseline stays the same. Alyssa takes you inside the real mechanics of a timeline shift—how identity, nervous system patterns, and ancestral loyalties quietly script your choices—and shows why mindset alone keeps you looping familiar results. We explore how somatic practices teach your body new safety, how lineage work dissolves invisible contracts to stay small, and how community provides the co‑regulation that turns insight into durable change.You'll hear a candid look at collapse, chaos, and the awkward in‑between where the old self no longer fits and the new one isn't stable yet. Instead of forcing outcomes, we lean into pattern interrupts, embodied rituals, and environment design—retreats, land‑based ceremony, and group containers—that interrupt routine, widen capacity, and make clarity actionable. Along the way, we map the early signs of a real shift: lower tolerance for misalignment, cleaner decisions, deeper conversations, and opportunities that the old identity couldn't hold.If you're noticing tests—familiar jobs, past partners, soothing habits—this conversation reframes them as thresholds. You don't need permission from family to heal family patterns; you need practices that update your emotional baseline and a circle that reflects your becoming. By the end, you'll have a practical lens for choosing growth over comfort, regulating through uncertainty, and anchoring a future that matches who you're becoming rather than who you've been.Ready to step onto a new path with support?

Today we're moonwalking straight into the chaotic world of Apollo 11 conspiracy theories — where facts are optional, confidence is abundant, and someone somewhere is insisting the shadows “just don't line up.”Although millions watched the moon landing live, doubts started swirling almost immediately. Then along came Bill Kaysing in 1976, brandishing his book We Never Went to the Moon: America's $30 Billion Swindle like a tabloid headline written during Mercury retrograde. With one extremely shouty title, he helped launch the conspiracy movement into the stratosphere.In this episode, we unpack how the media fanned the flames, why the 1970s were ripe for a hoax explosion, and how wildly confident claims take hold of public belief. We explore the history, the hysteria, and the hilariously bold certainty of people who've never set foot on the moon — or a film set, for that matter. Did we really land on the moon? Nikki and Cheryl are here to deliver the RECEIPTS, PROOF, TIMELINES! Topics Covered: • Apollo 11's early doubters • Bill Kaysing's “did he really say that?” arguments • Why conspiracy theories thrive in chaotic times • The media's role in shaping hoax culture • How narratives stick and spread • Why media literacy still matters (and always will)If you're interested in more true crime deep dives, hit subscribe and ring the bell to stay updated.

In this episode, I share a vivid channeled transmission from the Elohim, the Mayan Timekeepers, and the Blue Avians. This message came in fast, layered, and multidimensional—opening a deeper understanding of why our relationship with time feels so unusual right now and why so many of us are sensing timeline compression, expansion, and collapse all at once.I talk about the “time wound” connected to Atlantis, the collective feeling of racing an unseen clock, and the subtle ways this template activates stress in the body. You'll hear how these guides stepped in to recalibrate the field, introduce keycodes, and illuminate the shift from linear perception into multidimensional awareness.This episode invites you to breathe, listen, and feel what lands in your own system. If you've been questioning your experience of time lately—or noticing your inner rhythms changing—this transmission will meet you right where you are.Start the On-Demand Light Language Mentor Certification Course!https://www.activationswithjj.com/offers/n2JTjTWX/checkoutJoin the Activating Golden Atlantis Project!

In this episode of “Half Hour”, we take a closer look at Meet the Cartozians, Talene Monahon's new play at Second Stage Theater's Irene Diamond Stage at the Pershing Square Signature Center. We trace the dual timelines, from an Armenian American family fighting for legal recognition in the 1920s to a present‑day descendant navigating reality‑TV fame and social media, and how the play uses that structure to ask who gets to belong in America. Our conversation digs into David Cromer's staging, the tonal balance between historical drama and contemporary satire, and performances from Raffi Barsoumian, Will Brill, Andrea Martin, Nael Nacer, Susan Pourfar, and Tamara Sevunts. We also talk about where the piece could go next, how it might evolve in future productions, and why this kind of Armenian American story feels urgent right now.

If you're a small business owner, you are probably experiencing some degree of overwhelm in your business or personal life. Probably both. Because when you're a small business owner, business and personal overlap and intertwine. A lot. Overwhelm can become a major obstacle to success. It can affect your business growth and your personal growth. Personal overwhelm affects your business and business overwhelm affects your personal life. How many times have you been impatient or snippy or overreacted to something because of stress in another part of your life? So many business owners operate in a constant state of overwhelm. But it doesn't have to be that way. In this episode, I'm walking you through five things you can do to help reduce your overwhelm so you can thrive instead of just surviving. 1. Time Management - There will never be enough hours in the day to get everything done. How we manage our time is crucial to reducing overwhelm. Get more done by: Identifying high-priority tasks. Time blocking those tasks. Removing distractions. Using a timer to stay focused. 2. Hiring, Outsourcing, Delegating - you can't keep doing business alone. This means knowing when it's time to: Hire Outsource Delegate 3. Setting Realistic Goals and Timelines - entrepreneurs are guilty of always thinking we can get more done in a set amount of time than we actually can. Be honest with yourself. Plan only ONE big rock per quarter. (detailed in my Strategic Yearly Planning Workshop - linked below) 4. Getting Support - feeling supported makes a huge difference to the amount of overwhelm you feel. How can your team support you? How can your spouse support you? How can your children support you? How can your friends and family support you? Seek out other support - housekeeper, grocery deliveries, etc. 5. Self-care - you need to take time for yourself. Don't feel guilty about it. Plan self-care time - put it on your calendar. Make time to spend with friends and family. Start with one of these items and build it into your routine. Then layer in another. And another. Stop operating in fight or flight mode. Your health and the health of your business depend on it!

Compairson happens in all areas of life and score keeping can become a pitfall. But when we actually take a moment to look around what do we see? In this episode we dive into the idea that even when things aren't working out on "our timeline" we are never not right where we need to be even if we can't see it yet. So grab your cup and settle in for an episode with Amanda that will encourage you to be reminded there is no need to measure where you are or what others are doing where you are right where you need to be.
