We recorded this episode in December 2024. We're releasing it in May 2025. Yes, we know. Time is fake. Calendars are a colonial construct. But astrology still slaps, even when it's late. We apologize for any outdated references in this episode, but we still wanted post it because this is the part of the year where things REALLY start to change. It's a great opportunity to reflect on the year thus far and stay prepared for what's coming next.This episode is an overview of the energetic architecture of 2025. We discuss the biggest planetary shifts, collective themes, and the existential whiplash that these historic astrology formations are unleashing. In this episode, we cover:Why 2025 is a preview of the next five yearsWhy Pluto in Aquarius is the era of aliens, AI, and collective uprising (and why drones might be the new oracles)How Saturn and Neptune moving into Aries will completely reshape our understanding of identity, imagination, and self-leadershipWhy Uranus in Gemini will make nerds hot again (sexy librarians, you're on deck!)What it means when every outer planet changes signs in such a short period of timeThe astrology behind class revolts and why corporate overlords should watch their backsAnd how you, dear listener, can pivot, strategize, and maybe even monetize your way through this cosmic paradigm shiftYou'll also hear us:Predict the weaponization of butt plugs for interdimensional travelPraise the rise of spiritual individualism and customizable capitalismDeclare the death of “cool” and the rebirth of authentic weirdnessAnd remind you (gently? lol no) that you're going to need to stay adaptable, resilient, and a little unhinged to ride this wave.This episode is chaotic, unscripted, and completely vital. Even if it's five months late.The astrology doesn't care when you listen. Just that you do.***************************P.S. PLEASE RATE OUR PODCAST AND SHARE IT WITH YOUR FRIENDS!!!

In this episode of Recovery for the Narcissist, Dr. Eric Perry explores the complex and often misunderstood phenomenon of mirroring in narcissistic relationships. This episode dives into how mirroring can create the illusion of deep connection—while quietly eroding authenticity, trust, and emotional intimacy.Dr. Perry unpacks the psychological roots of mirroring, tracing it from early childhood development to its manipulative adaptation in adulthood. He explains how individuals with narcissistic tendencies often use mirroring—consciously or unconsciously—as a way to build connection, avoid rejection, and emotionally survive within relationships.Listeners will learn about:The origins of mirroring and how it forms in childhoodHow narcissistic individuals use mirroring to create rapid emotional closenessWhy mirroring feels like connection at first—but leads to disconnection over timeThe emotional toll of being mirrored instead of truly seenPractical steps to recognize mirroring patterns and rebuild real, honest connectionDr. Perry offers clear and compassionate guidance for those who find themselves stuck in cycles of performative connection. Whether you have used mirroring to feel accepted or have been on the receiving end of it, this episode provides insight, validation, and a path forward.Tune in to discover how moving from imitation to authenticity can heal your relationships—from shallow and performative to grounded and real. Through honest self-reflection and small acts of vulnerability, true intimacy becomes possible—not by becoming who someone wants you to be, but by becoming more fully yourself.Connect with Dr. Perry: https://drericperry.comOwn Your Stuff Online Coaching Group: https://drericperry.com/ownyourstuffEmpathy Awakening Workshop: https://drericperry.com/empathyawakeningDisclaimer: The content contained in this podcast is for general information only and is not intended to be a substitute for professional advice, assessment, diagnosis, or treatment.

We've all been there – wishing for just a few more hours in the day to accomplish our goals. But what if the solution isn't more time, but better time management? The key to productivity isn't about having more hours but maximizing the hours you already have. More time doesn't guarantee progress; instead, focus and intentionality are your true productivity drivers. Start by auditing how you currently spend your time. Identify hidden time leaks like social media scrolling, unnecessary context switching, and over-committing.Then, get strategic about your approach:Prioritize ruthlessly: Identify your top 1-3 priorities each weekPlan based on your energy, not just availabilityBatch similar tasks togetherSet firm time boundariesProtect your focus timeThe most productive people aren't working endless hours – they're working smarter. They understand that 30 minutes of focused, intentional work beats three scattered hours of distracted effort. Shift your mindset from time scarcity to time abundance. Remember, you have enough time for what truly matters. It's not about doing everything now, but doing the right things consistently. Your time is precious. Treat it that way.

Send us a textOn this week's episode, I sit down with my good friend Emma Maidment to chat all things motherhood, business and creating a conscious and connected family unit.In this chat, we dive into the unexpected ways motherhood transforms entrepreneurship—from the limitations of time to the shifting of priorities and the complete reinvention of what "success" looks like.Emma shares how she went from resistance to fully embracing AI and automation systems that now form the foundation of a new business venture with her partner Tyson.For couples navigating a parenting and business partnership, Emma offers practical wisdom on establishing clear boundaries between work discussions and family time.We dive in to:Expectations vs reality of motherhood and how initial assumptions about working with a newborn often don't match realitiesThe importance of pivoting your business model when you have children rather than trying to force old structures to work How embracing AI and automation can create space for focusing on your zone of genius when time becomes more limitedSetting clear boundaries when working with your partner, including dedicated business communication channels and non-negotiable connection timeThe danger of glorifying burnout and martyrdom as a badge of honor in motherhoodCreating a long-term vision that values sustainability over short-term hustleModelling healthy boundaries and self-care for children to establish positive patterns for their futureThe value of planning for imperfect weeks rather than perfect ones to accommodate the unpredictability of family lifeThis is SUCH an an amazing episode, and there are SO many nuggets of wisdom in there for mothers, mothers to be and business owners.About Emma: Emma Maidment is a wellness entrepreneur, speaker, business mentor and author of ‘Find Your Flow.

This week, McKay talks about miracles, opening up the episode with the story of pilot and pioneer, Amelia Earhart, and the unbelievable tale that is the rescue of McKenzie Morgan. He argues that both stories are miracles in their own right, and these miracles can happen to us so long as we open our minds and hearts to them. McKay says it's all about realizing your worth. Too many people believe themselves unworthy of serendipitous positivity when that couldn't be further from the truth. We all deserve miracles - sometimes we just need to open our eyes to them.McKay goes on to discuss the importance of self forgiveness and overcoming past mistakes. It's easy to feel that your past has seemingly predetermined your future. If you open your eyes, however, you might find that miracles are all around us, especially in the people we meet everyday. McKay draws this episode to a close by celebrating the life of Indy Ju who, before tragically passing away from leukemia at a young age, inspired millions to believe in miracles again. The Finer Details of This Episode: The story of Amelia EarhartMcKenzie Morgan's rescueOpening our minds to miraclesBeing in the right place at the right timeThe importance of knowing your worthOvercoming past mistakesIndy Ju's courageous battle with leukemia Quotes: “We must have been in the mountains that day for a reason.”“When you are looking for a miracle, maybe you are more open to the advice of others, maybe you take more chances, maybe your heart is inclined to have faith in someone or something.”“I believe that these small miracles happen in our lives all the time. Moments of clarity that we don't always arrive at on our own. The point is, sometimes you need to be looking for a miracle. Maybe take a chance or two.”“You deserve love, forgiveness, strength and happiness. You may not feel like you deserve it, but you do. You are of immense worth and here on this earth to find peace and rise from the ashes.”“The millions of people who were inspired by and connected to this little girl with down syndrome has been nothing short of miraculous. Miraculous to those who needed to look beyond their own circumstances, to grandfathers who need redemption, to neighbors who need to care about each other, to people who lack faith who need to look. Miracles happened because of Indy Lu, and miracles can happen because of you.”“This world is filled with so much good. There is so much to be grateful for. So, as we end today, remember McKenzie. Be willing to be in the right place at the right time.”Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

“It's never too late, and you're never too old to do anything.” –Fiona LambertWe don't have to become invisible as we age. We don't have to gain weight, lose fitness, slow down or stall out. What if you could be in the best shape of your life at 60?Fiona Lambert, author of Invincible Not Invisible, set herself that goal just nine weeks before turning 60. I love her energy and the belief that it's not too late and you aren't too old. I got inspired to transform my health again before my 50th birthday.Fiona believes in having a purpose driving you and 21 day habit resets. And like we do in FLOW, she believes in 90-day goals and lifestyle changes made up of consistent small changes. Can't imagine changing your diet or finding time to exercise? Listen in for how she did it — and check out our Doable Changes to start your own wellness shift at any age.We talk about: Breaking stereotypes about our ideas of wellness, fitness, and what's happening in our bodies as we ageHaving a purpose and deadline for an end goalThe power of HIIT training for transforming your body and fitness — even when you don't have a lot of timeThe challenges of making a change like giving up sugar or alcohol — and how the challenge diminishes with time as it becomes your normShifting to more protein and less carbs as you age — and stocking your fridge with foods that fit your goalsFiona's 5 Ps—Purpose, planning and preparation, perseverance, people to support you, and positivityABOUT FIONAJust nine weeks before her 60th birthday, successful fashion businesswoman Fiona Lambert decided to get into the best shape of her life consciously exercising more and being mindful of her diet.By cutting out alcohol and eating more protein than carbohydrate, she lost weight, gained muscle, and more importantly, she was sleeping better, feeling confident and full of energy, laughing in the face of the common presumption that we slow down as we get older.Through Fiona's personal story of being a senior executive at major UK fashion brands over 35 years, mothering two children, working up from a designer and going on to successfully transform brands in the industry for years, she's a fearless entrepreneur and has now used her passion and energy to become a fitness idol and author. Fiona's new book, Invincible Not Invisible, proves you don't need to feel invisible in later life and shares her message that it is never too late to get into the best shape of your life. Drawing on her own experiences and business background, she provides practical insights, effective strategies, and actionable tips for anyone looking to achieve their best shape and reclaim their vitality, irrespective of age.LINKSInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fionalambertofficialLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/fiona-lambert1DOABLE CHANGESAt the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Change comes from action. Sometimes action gets a bad rap. You can be kind to yourself. You can practice being AND doing, but for change to happen you have to take steps. The way we take care of ourselves is making the steps doable and focusing on one thing at a time. We take time to integrate the change and then move on to the next one. And don't forget — having a bad day doesn't mean you are done! Pick a Doable Change that resonates with you the most to start...
GOD: An Autobiography, As Told to a Philosopher - The Podcast, S1
Questions? Comments? Text Us!Have you ever wondered what it really means to call out to God- and what it feels like when something answers?In this moving episode of What's On Your Mind, we explore Janet's spiritual awakening, which began with a simple desire to know who Jesus really was and unfolded into moments of inner instruction, prophetic clarity, and self-discovery. She offers five profound lessons about spiritual discernment, obedience, and the subtleties of hearing God's voice-insights that speak directly to anyone walking a nontraditional spiritual path.Sandy responds to Janet with a deeply personal story of her own- a quiet moment of prayer where she asked God to show up... and was met with a radiant, inner warmth that felt like a hug from the divine.Dr. Jerry L. Martin and Scott Langdon reflect on these stories with care, honesty, and philosophical depth. Together, they explore how we can distinguish divine inspiration from ego or illusion, and how “calling out to God” is not just a religious act- but a deeply human one.Whether you've had mystical experiences, questioned your sanity in moments of spiritual insight, or are simply curious about how the divine shows up in real life, this episode offers a grounded, compassionate conversation for seekers of all kinds.We talk about:Hearing inner guidance and not knowing if it's “real”The delicate line between divine insight and wishful thinkingWhy calling out is essential to divine relationshipHow discernment and self-trust evolve over timeThe difference between ego-driven action and God-led intuitionLove as God's truest nameIf you're exploring faith in a way that doesn't fit into traditional boxes, this conversation is for you.

In this week's episode of Chasing Happiness, I dive deep into our struggle: the battle to stay present in a world filled with distractions and stress.

If someone said a global health and development programme was sustainable, participatory, and holistic, you'd have to guess that they were saying something positive. But according to today's guest Karen Levy — deworming pioneer and veteran of Innovations for Poverty Action, Evidence Action, and Y Combinator — each of those three concepts has become so fashionable that they're at risk of being seriously overrated and applied where they don't belong.Rebroadcast: this episode was originally released in March 2022.Links to learn more, highlights, and full transcript.Such concepts might even cause harm — trying to make a project embody all three is as likely to ruin it as help it flourish.First, what do people mean by 'sustainability'? Usually they mean something like the programme will eventually be able to continue without needing further financial support from the donor. But how is that possible? Governments, nonprofits, and aid agencies aim to provide health services, education, infrastructure, financial services, and so on — and all of these require ongoing funding to pay for materials and staff to keep them running.Given that someone needs to keep paying, Karen tells us that in practice, 'sustainability' is usually a euphemism for the programme at some point being passed on to someone else to fund — usually the national government. And while that can be fine, the national government of Kenya only spends $400 per person to provide each and every government service — just 2% of what the US spends on each resident. Incredibly tight budgets like that are typical of low-income countries.'Participatory' also sounds nice, and inasmuch as it means leaders are accountable to the people they're trying to help, it probably is. But Karen tells us that in the field, ‘participatory' usually means that recipients are expected to be involved in planning and delivering services themselves.While that might be suitable in some situations, it's hardly something people in rich countries always want for themselves. Ideally we want government healthcare and education to be high quality without us having to attend meetings to keep it on track — and people in poor countries have as many or more pressures on their time. While accountability is desirable, an expectation of participation can be as much a burden as a blessing.Finally, making a programme 'holistic' could be smart, but as Karen lays out, it also has some major downsides. For one, it means you're doing lots of things at once, which makes it hard to tell which parts of the project are making the biggest difference relative to their cost. For another, when you have a lot of goals at once, it's hard to tell whether you're making progress, or really put your mind to focusing on making one thing go extremely well. And finally, holistic programmes can be impractically expensive — Karen tells the story of a wonderful 'holistic school health' programme that, if continued, was going to cost 3.5 times the entire school's budget.In this in-depth conversation, originally released in March 2022, Karen Levy and host Rob Wiblin chat about the above, as well as:Why it pays to figure out how you'll interpret the results of an experiment ahead of timeThe trouble with misaligned incentives within the development industryProjects that don't deliver value for money and should be scaled downHow Karen accidentally became a leading figure in the push to deworm tens of millions of schoolchildrenLogistical challenges in reaching huge numbers of people with essential servicesLessons from Karen's many-decades careerAnd much moreChapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Rob's intro (00:01:33)The interview begins (00:02:21)Funding for effective altruist–mentality development projects (00:04:59)Pre-policy plans (00:08:36)‘Sustainability', and other myths in typical international development practice (00:21:37)‘Participatoriness' (00:36:20)‘Holistic approaches' (00:40:20)How the development industry sees evidence-based development (00:51:31)Initiatives in Africa that should be significantly curtailed (00:56:30)Misaligned incentives within the development industry (01:05:46)Deworming: the early days (01:21:09)The problem of deworming (01:34:27)Deworm the World (01:45:43)Where the majority of the work was happening (01:55:38)Logistical issues (02:20:41)The importance of a theory of change (02:31:46)Ways that things have changed since 2006 (02:36:07)Academic work vs policy work (02:38:33)Fit for Purpose (02:43:40)Living in Kenya (03:00:32)Underrated life advice (03:05:29)Rob's outro (03:09:18)Producer: Keiran HarrisAudio mastering: Ben Cordell and Ryan KesslerTranscriptions: Katy Moore
