Introduction In this Deep Dive episode, we dive into PwC's latest AI Business Predictions — a roadmap offering insight into how companies can harness artificial intelligence not just for efficiency, but as a strategic lever to reshape operations, workforce, and long-term growth. We explore why “AI adoption” is now about more than technology: it's about vision, leadership, and rethinking what work and human potential look like in a rapidly shifting landscape. Key Insights from PwC AI success is as much about vision as about adoption According to PwC, what separates companies that succeed with AI from those that merely dabble is leadership clarity and strategic alignment. Firms that view AI as central to their business model — rather than as an add-on — are more likely to reap measurable gains.  AI agents can meaningfully expand capacity — even double workforce impact One bold prediction: with AI agents and automation, a smaller human team can produce work at a scale that might resemble having a much larger workforce — without proportionally increasing staff size. For private firms especially, this means you can “leapfrog” traditional growth limitations.  From pilots to scale: real ROI is emerging — but requires discipline While many organizations experimented with AI in 2023–2024, PwC argues that 2025 and 2026 are about turning experiments into engines of growth. The companies that succeed are those that pick strategic high-impact areas, double down, and avoid spreading efforts too thin.  Workforce composition will shift — rise of the “AI-generalist” As AI agents take over more routine, data-heavy or repetitive tasks, human roles will trend toward design, oversight, strategy, and creative judgment. The “AI-generalist” — someone who can bridge human judgment, organizational culture, and AI tools — will become increasingly valuable.  Responsible AI, governance, and sustainability are non-negotiables PwC insists that success with AI isn't just about technology rollout; it's also about embedding ethical governance, sustainability, and data integrity. Organizations that treat AI as a core piece of long-term strategy — not a flashy add-on — will be the ones that unlock lasting value.  What This Means for Leaders, Culture & Burnout (Especially for Humans, Not Just AI) Opportunity to reimagine roles — more meaning, less drudgery As AI takes over repetitive, transactional work, human roles can shift toward creativity, strategy, mentorship, emotional intelligence, and leadership. That aligns with your mission around workplace culture and “Burnout-Proof” leadership: this could reduce burnout if implemented thoughtfully. Culture becomes the strategic differentiator As more companies adopt similar AI tools, organizational vision, values, psychological safety, and human connection may become the real competitive edge. Leaders who “get culture right” will be ahead — not because of tech, but because of people. Upskilling, transparency and trust are essential With AI in the mix, employees need clarity, training, and trust. Mismanaged adoption could lead to fear, resistance, or misalignment. Leaders must shepherd not just technology, but human transition. AI-driven efficiency must be balanced with empathy and human-centered leadership The automation and “workforce multiplier” potential is seductive — but if leaders lose sight of human needs, purpose, and wellbeing, there's a risk of burnout, disengagement, or erosion of cultural integrity. For small & private companies: a chance to leapfrog giants — but only with clarity and discipline Smaller firms often lack the resources of large enterprises, but according to PwC, those constraints may shrink when AI is used strategically. For mission-driven companies (like yours), this creates an opportunity to scale impact — provided leadership stays grounded in purpose and values. Why This Topic Matters for the Breakfast Leadership Network & Our Audience Given your work in leadership development, burnout prevention, workplace culture, and coaching — PwC's predictions offer a crucial lens. It's no longer optional for organizations to ignore AI. The question isn't “Will we use AI?” but “How will we use AI — and who do we become in the process?” For founders, people-leaders, HR strategists: this is a call to be intentional. To lead with vision, grounded in human values. To design workplaces that thrive in the AI era — not suffer. Questions for Reflection  What parts of your organization's workflow could be transformed by AI — and what human strengths should those tools free up rather than replace? How might embracing AI shift your organizational culture and the expectations for leaders? What ethical, psychological, or human-impact considerations must you address before “going all in” on AI? As a leader, how will you ensure the “AI-generalists” — employees blending tech fluency with empathy, creativity, and human judgment — are cultivated and supported? How do you prevent burnout and disconnection while dramatically increasing capacity and output via AI?

In this week's Mistake of the Week, a company's HR team accidentally sent a mass termination email to the entire workforce — including the CEO. The culprit was an offboarding automation tool left in the wrong mode, turning a routine test into a company-wide panic. Mark Graban explores what this moment teaches about automation, human fallibility, and the danger of relying on memory in systems that affect people's livelihoods. Instead of asking, “Who pressed the wrong button?”, the real question is, “Why was this mistake even possible?” A funny story now, but a real lesson in error-proofing or the lack thereof. Because even when no one's actually fired, the fear can linger long after the email is retracted.

Episode Summary If you're overwhelmed, tired, or stuck in fight-or-flight mode and unsure how to support your body without spending more money, this episode is for you. In today's conversation, Alexandra shares a simple, affordable, and often overlooked way to help the body recover from stress: music. Drawing from personal experience, Scripture, and educational research, this episode explores how music—especially instrumental music—can help the nervous system settle and create space for rest, reflection, and listening. This is a faith-centered reflection on how God designed sound and music for our wellbeing. No protocols. Just wisdom and discernment. This episode is especially for Christian women seeking clarity, peace, and a gentle way forward. Why Stress Recovery Doesn't Have to Be Expensive Many women feel stuck because they believe stress relief or healing requires money, programs, or products they can't afford. In this episode, Alexandra challenges that belief and reminds listeners that some of the most powerful supports for the nervous system are simple and already available. Music is one of those tools—created by God, accessible, and deeply influential when used intentionally. Rediscovering the Gift of Music Alexandra shares how music played a major role in her life growing up—from piano and violin to choir and orchestra—but gradually faded during the busy years of motherhood. A moving experience at a musical performance helped her realize how deeply music affected her emotionally and how much she missed it. Since then, music has become part of family life, stress recovery, and quiet reflection. What Research Helps Us Understand About Music Alexandra references educational research that explores how music affects the brain and nervous system, including: Its role in emotional regulation How it can influence calm and focus The way different types of music evoke different responses What Scripture Shows Us About Music The Bible repeatedly points to music as part of worship, spiritual expression, and restoration. This episode reflects on several passages, including: Revelation 5:8–9 – Music and worship before the throne Revelation 14:2–3 – The sound of harps and a new song Joshua 6 – Trumpets and obedience in the fall of Jericho 1 Samuel 16:23 – David playing music and Saul being refreshed These passages remind us that music is woven into God's design, not an afterthought. Why Instrumental Music Can Be Especially Calming Alexandra explains how instrumental music, without lyrics, has helped her: Calm her nervous system Focus on the beauty of sound Create stillness after prayer or Scripture reading Journal thoughts that align with biblical truth She shares how instrumental music can make it easier to slow down and listen. Choosing Music That Uplifts Not all music has the same effect. Alexandra encourages listeners to notice how their body responds and to choose music that feels uplifting and calming rather than intense or distressing. She shares personal examples, including violin covers, instrumental playlists, and soundtracks that evoke peace, strength, and hope.

What if the biggest barrier to innovation in your organization isn't lack of ideas, budget, or talent—but fear?Tom Fishburne, the Marketoonist, whose cartoons have appeared in more marketing decks than most actual strategies joins Marc and V to reveal why corporate fear is sabotaging innovation, and the surprisingly simple tool that breaks through it.With his weekly cartoons reaching over 500,000 readers and experience at General Mills, Nestlé, Method Products, and HotelTonight, Tom has spent two decades documenting what actually stops good ideas from becoming reality.In this conversation, we explore:The "Scolded Syndrome": The DBS Bank story where fear of being "scolded" paralyzed an entire organization until one senior executive squatted in a corner holding his earlobes and changed everythingWhy fear kills innovation faster than any competitor: How "I might get scolded" becomes the silent phrase that stops transformationThe simple tool hiding in plain sight: Why humour isn't just comic relief—it's Apple's "most powerful tool to drive fear out of the system"From business school to half a million readers: The terrifying moment a Harvard professor threw Tom's first cartoon on an overhead projector, and how that panic became a callingThe pressure release valve every team needs: How humour defuses tension, unlocks honest conversations, and enables better decision-makingWhy you're juggling unicycles on pogo sticks: The impossible "more with less" paradox and how to survive it without breakingTom reveals how he's used cartoons to navigate impossible client situations, transform hierarchical cultures at major banks, and help teams move from fear-based paralysis to innovation-driven action. This isn't about becoming funnier—it's about becoming braver.The takeaway: Innovation doesn't die because we lack good ideas. It dies because we're too afraid to voice them, test them, or defend them. And the antidote isn't another framework or process it's giving people permission to be human.If you've ever felt your team second-guessing every decision, if "we might get in trouble" stops more initiatives than budget constraints, or if innovation feels like performance theater rather than actual progress this episode offers a path forward.Featured in this episode:Tom Fishburne, The Marketoonist Creator of 23 years of weekly marketing cartoonsPublished author and contributor to NYT, Fast Company, Wall Street JournalTED speaker on "The Power of Laughing at Ourselves at Work"TIMESTAMPS/CHAPTERS00:00 - 04:30 | The First Laugh That Changed EverythingTom's origin story: the terrifying moment a Harvard Business School professor put his first cartoon on an overhead projector in front of 80...

Money has a way of reaching places in our lives that nothing else does. It touches our fears, our desires, our relationships, and our sense of security. That's why Jesus said, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21).Jesus wasn't merely offering financial advice—He was revealing something deeply spiritual. Money issues are rarely just about money. They are heart issues. Our financial lives quietly expose what we trust, what we desire, and what we believe will ultimately take care of us.A Lesson From a Hillside in KenyaYears ago, Ron Blue shared a story that reshaped our understanding of stewardship.Ron was sitting on a hillside in Kenya with a local pastor, overlooking the village below. Curious, Ron asked what he assumed was a practical question: “What is the greatest barrier to the spread of the gospel here?” He expected the answer to be a lack of money, transportation, or resources.The pastor didn't hesitate. “Materialism,” he said.Ron was stunned. Materialism? In a village of mud huts?The pastor explained, “If a man has a mud hut, he wants a stone hut. If he has a thatched roof, he wants a metal one. If he has one cow, he wants two.”In that moment, Ron realized something profound: materialism isn't about how much you have—it's about what your heart longs for. If materialism can thrive in a mud hut just as easily as in an American suburb, then money itself isn't the root problem. The heart is.Money as a MirrorMoney is not moral or immoral. It's a tool. But because it touches nearly every area of our lives, it becomes one of the clearest mirrors of what's happening inside us.When we overspend, it may reveal a longing for identity or approval.When we cling tightly to savings, it may expose where we seek security.When we fall into debt, it may reflect impatience or a desire to live beyond God's provision.When we resist generosity, it may reveal fear that God won't come through.In every case, the dollars are secondary. The heart is primary.God's Invitation to FreedomThe good news is that God cares deeply about the state of our hearts—and He invites us into freedom. Freedom from fear. Freedom from comparison. Freedom from striving. Freedom from the quiet belief that everything depends on us.Over the years of studying Scripture and walking with individuals and families through financial decisions, a few foundational truths have continued to surface.1. God Owns It AllOwnership determines responsibility. If everything belongs to God, we stop clinging to money as if our lives depend on it. Instead, we manage it as stewards—grateful, humble, and free.2. God Is Our ProviderScripture reminds us that God feeds the birds and clothes the lilies—and that we, His children, are worth far more. When we truly believe that, fear begins to loosen its grip.3. Money Is a Tool, Not a TreasureMoney was never meant to carry the weight of our identity or security. It was meant to serve God's purposes—meeting needs, blessing others, advancing the gospel, and reflecting the generosity of the One who gave everything for us.4. Financial Decisions Are Acts of WorshipEvery spending choice, every act of saving, every moment of generosity becomes an opportunity to honor God. When we begin asking, “How can I serve You with this?” money stops being a rival and becomes a means of discipleship.Rediscovering Our Ultimate TreasureThese truths aren't theoretical. They shape every page of our new devotional (coming out next month), Our Ultimate Treasure—a 21-day journey to faithful stewardship. We wrote it to help readers see how deeply biblical principles shape everyday financial decisions.Our prayer is that as people walk through it, they'll experience peace where fear once lived, contentment where comparison once thrived, and generosity where self-protection once dominated.Ultimately, money will reveal what we treasure most. And when Christ is our ultimate treasure, we discover a freedom that no amount of money can ever provide.That freedom isn't found in having more—but in trusting more deeply.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My wife and I are both over 65 and have a financial planner, CPA, and estate attorney. On paper, everything seems in place—but my wife doesn't feel confident. She's really looking for someone to act as a ‘quarterback' for our finances. Is it reasonable to expect a Certified Financial Planner to coordinate everything, including budgeting, or should that role belong to someone else?I pay my credit cards off in full every month and don't have any debt in collections. I received a suspicious-looking notice and didn't click it because I wasn't sure it was a scam.I know many people now take the standard deduction since it's higher, but I've heard that charitable contributions can still be deducted even if you don't itemize. Is that true? I thought that could encourage giving to nonprofits.I owe about $5,500 on my car, with a $185 monthly payment. It's starting to require frequent repairs, and it's probably worth around $4,000. Since the bank holds the title, what are my options? Can I sell it, or am I limited because the car is the collateral for the loan?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.

Show NotesMusic placement has quietly become one of the most powerful engines shaping how audiences discover new artists. In this episode of Music Evolves, host Sean Martin speaks with Chris SD, music producer and founder focused on connecting independent songwriters with film, television, and media opportunities, about how music moves from personal creation into shared cultural moments.The conversation centers on sync licensing not as a shortcut, but as a parallel creative economy. Chris SD explains that music supervisors, the professionals responsible for sourcing music for screen, are not looking for imitation or trend chasing. They are listening for authenticity. Songs that already exist, written without a brief or a pitch in mind, often resonate more deeply because they carry emotional truth rather than calculated intent.Why Indie Music Wins Screen TimeIndependent artists play a critical role in modern film and television. Budget realities often make major label catalogs impractical, while independent creators offer flexibility, ownership clarity, and creative alignment. This shifts the opportunity structure. Artists who control their masters and publishing are easier to work with and faster to license, which matters in production schedules driven by speed.Exposure matters as much as payment. A single placement can introduce an artist to millions of viewers in a context that builds emotional association rather than passive listening. That connection often leads to discovery, touring opportunities, and long-term audience growth.Technology as a Tool, Not the AuthorThe episode also addresses the growing conversation around AI in music creation. Chris SD draws a clear distinction between technology as a production aid and technology as a replacement for human authorship. Current legal frameworks and copyright realities prevent fully AI-generated music from being licensed for film and television. More importantly, the emotional nuance required for storytelling still depends on human experience.The message is consistent throughout the discussion. Music that endures is not built on novelty or automation alone. It survives because it reflects something real. Sync licensing rewards that honesty rather than undermines it.For artists navigating visibility, rights, and sustainability, this conversation reframes placement not as selling out, but as participation in a larger storytelling ecosystem.GuestChris SD, Musician, Producer, and Founder of Sync Songwriter | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-sd/HostSean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine, Studio C60, and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast & Music Evolves Podcast | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com/ResourcesAttend The Sync Songwriter Music Supervisor Panel: coming soon...More From Sean MartinMore from Music Evolves: https://www.seanmartin.com/music-evolves-podcastMusic Evolves on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllTRJ5du7hFDXjiugu-uNPtWMusic Evolves: Sonic Frontiers Newsletter | https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7290890771828719616/Line of Sight Newsletter | https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7400591548452667392/ITSPmagazine YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@itspmagazineBe sure to share and subscribe!Keywordssean martin, chris sd, sync, licensing, music, film, television, independent, supervisors, creativity, art, artist, musician, music evolves, music podcast, music and technology podcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Nicht Ziele setzen, sondern umsetzen. → https://ivanblatter.link/zieleDer Jahreswechsel lädt zum Innehalten ein. Statt neuer Vorsätze lohnt sich der ehrliche Blick zurück: Was hat dich 2025 wirklich blockiert? In dieser Episode identifiziere ich drei zentrale Engpässe, die viele Menschen 2025 ausgebremst haben – und zeige dir konkrete Ansätze, wie du 2026 anders damit umgehen kannst.Die drei Engpässe von 2025:Kein Energiemanagement – Dein Kalender ist voll, aber du bist ständig erschöpft. Zeit allein reicht nicht, wenn die Energie fehlt. Ich zeige dir, wie du ein Energie-Audit machst, deine Hochenergie-Zeiten erkennst und Energiefresser identifizierst.Unsicherheit – Wirtschaftliche und politische Unsicherheiten haben 2025 geprägt. Sie führen entweder zu Lähmung oder Hyperaktivität – beides kostet Fokus. Du erfährst, wie du zwischen Beeinflussbarem und Nicht-Beeinflussbarem unterscheidest und feste Strukturen als Anker nutzt.Kein System – Viele haben Tools, aber kein System. Apps hier, Notizen da, nichts greift ineinander. Ich erkläre, warum ein System mehr ist als ein Tool und wie du klare Abläufe etablierst, die dich wirklich tragen.Das Schöne ist: Alle drei Engpässe kannst du 2026 angehen. Nicht perfekt, nicht sofort, aber Schritt für Schritt. Fang dort an, wo dein größter Engpass liegt.Und falls du Hilfe beim Beseitigen deiner Engpässe brauchst, bin ich gerne für dich da:-> Zu meinem Angebot Workshop "Von Zielen zu Taten" – Start: 15.

She and Darius explore how cultivating awareness, clarifying intention, and practicing self-compassion can turn automatic reactivity into conscious leadership and personal growth. Donna shares practical strategies for recognizing when we fall into victim, persecutor, or rescuer roles, and how to shift into creator, challenger, or coach roles that empower both ourselves and others. Whether in family life, friendships, or at work, these tools offer a roadmap to more meaningful, effective, and empowered interactions.

Weil es eine so tolle Folge ist und perfekt für Neujahr, hier nochmal:Das neue Jahr bringt oft vor allem zwei Dinge mit sich: Gute Vorsätze und dass wir sie brechen. Wie aber können wir es schaffen, gute Vorsätze auch umzusetzen und gute Routinen aufzubauen und beizubehalten? Darüber spricht Julia mit der Internistin Dr. Giovanna Eilers, die sich als ZRM Coachin hauptberuflich unter anderem mit der Methode des Zürcher Ressourcenmodells von Maja Storch beschäftigt. Das neurowissenschaftlich fundierte Vorgehen nutzt vor allem unser Unbewusstes, um innere Hindernisse zu überwinden. Denn sie sind es, die uns oft im Wege stehen, wenn wir neue Wege gehen und neue Routinen entwickeln wollen. Ein spannendes Gespräch darüber, wie unser Gehirn funktioniert und wie wir Wissen darüber für uns und ein gutes Leben nutzen können.ZITAT: "Vor allem wir Frauen denken häufig, 'nur wenn es schwerfällt, ist es gut, nur dann mache ich es richtig', aber es darf auch leicht sein."Tipps & Links zur FolgeWebsite: ZRM Online ToolLinkedin: Dr. Giovanna EilersWebsite Giovanna Eilers: giovanna-eilers.de das im Podcast erwähnte ZRM-online-Tool: https://zrm.ch//_%20Online%20Tool.htmdie ZRM-Seite: https://zrm.ch/HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome back to Girl, Take the Lead! — the podcast where we reimagine leadership, challenge the status quo around aging, and share the stories that help us break cycles, find our voice, and trust our own becoming.Today's episode is a stunning way to close out the year.Our guest, Laura G. Patac, is an entrepreneur, author, poet, and former global corporate executive who has lived and worked in seven countries across five continents. After 25 years in sales, operations, and product leadership, she stepped into entrepreneurship — and the transition cracked open a profound identity crisis that reshaped her understanding of purpose, courage, and value.Rather than hiding the cracks, Laura learned to honor them — and ultimately, to treat them the way the Japanese art of kintsugi treats broken pottery: not as flaws to conceal, but as golden seams that make us more whole, beautiful, and true.Her journey — and her writing — will move you.In this intimate and heartfelt conversation, Laura shares how storytelling, poetry, and reflection helped her rebuild a self beyond titles and corporate identity, and how she now empowers others to do the same through her books Stories with Purpose and her newest release, Whole Not Perfect.Together, Yo and Laura explore:✨ What Happens When Your Title Disappears✨ The Five “Aha Moments” That Defined Her Leadership Journey✨ Why No One Is Coming to Save You✨ Storytelling as a Tool for Reinvention✨The Kintsugi Metaphor✨ Moving From Insight to Intention✨ Redefining Success After Corporate Life✨ What She Would Tell Her 20-Something Self

Mist, wind, the volcanic island of São Miguel, and a hard look at the words and jargon that decide families' futures. We begin in the Azores, Ruth's ancestral home, where arguments for European westward expansion took shape after Bartolomé de Las Casas reported the finding of two “dead” "Amerindian" bodies—and where mainland-imposed poverty, illiteracy, and family separation set conditions that still shape domestic violence today. From that grounding, we pull apart a label that quietly drives child removals, court outcomes, and professional blind spots: “denial.” Across child protection and domestic violence documentation, the phrase “mother is in denial of the impact of domestic violence” appears with alarming regularity—automatically shifting scrutiny onto women in records that determine custody and liberty, while the person causing harm fades from view. The result is compounded harm at both personal and system levels.We trace how this term traveled from early psychoanalysis—where women's reports of sexual violence were recast as inner conflict or sexual turmoil—into today's case notes and court filings. Over time, denial and hysteria morphed into failure to protect and parental alienation, redirecting attention from perpetrators' patterns of violence to mothers' supposed deficits in “controlling” that violence or responding to it. Instead of centering victims' reactions to harm, we argue for real behavioral evidence: name who did what, to whom, with what impact, and what has been tried with the person causing harm. This shift is not cosmetic—yet it changes documentation, supervision, and safety planning, and it guards against wrongful liberty removals and harmful system collusion with perpetrators.You'll hear practical questions that move practice quickly: What did she do or say that led you to that conclusion? What is your specific safety concern about that behavior? These prompts redirect focus from a survivor's inner world to the perpetrator's actions, choices, and behaviors—opening the door to mapping risk to children, cataloging incidents, and designing interventions that actually reduce danger. We also widen the lens to the ecosystem around survivors—family pressure, faith norms, small-island logistics, and economic traps—that make “just leave” dangerous or impossible for many.The invitation is clear: try a week—or a month—without the word denial. Replace labels with behavioral pattern facts. Keep the person causing harm at the center of risk and response.If this resonates, subscribe, share with a colleague, and leave a review telling us which label you're dropping next.

In this episode of "The D.O. Show," host Dustin Owen—drawing on his two decades of expertise in the financial and mortgage industries—dives deep into the often misunderstood world of insurance. With his signature "321 format," Dustin breaks down the essentials of disability, term life, and whole life insurance, making complex topics accessible for listeners at every stage of their financial journey. Dustin kicks off the episode by answering real audience questions, addressing common concerns such as: "Do I really need disability insurance if I'm young and healthy?", "How much term life coverage is enough for my family?", and "Is whole life insurance a smart investment or just a sales pitch?" He then transitions into a discussion of recent headlines and trends in the insurance industry, highlighting regulatory changes, new product offerings, and shifts in consumer behavior that could impact listeners' decisions. Throughout the episode, Dustin offers an in-depth perspective on whole life insurance, explaining how it differs from term life, the mechanics of cash value accumulation, and the scenarios where it might make sense—or not—for different individuals. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the true purpose of each insurance product, dispelling myths such as "insurance is only for the wealthy" or "whole life is always a bad deal." Dustin also shares real-life stories from his career, illustrating how proper insurance planning has protected families and individuals during unexpected life events. Importantly, Dustin stresses that insurance should be viewed as a foundational element of a sound financial plan—not as an exciting investment or a way to chase returns. He encourages listeners to approach insurance decisions thoughtfully, focusing on protecting their income, loved ones, and long-term financial stability. By the end of the episode, listeners will have a clearer understanding of how disability, term life, and whole life insurance work, why they matter, and how to evaluate their own coverage needs. Dustin's practical advice and candid insights empower the audience to make informed, confident decisions about their insurance, ensuring they're prepared for whatever life may bring.

#133 Creativity Is Presence: How Archetypes Unlock Healing & Self-Expression with An MarshallIn this deeply reflective conversation, Vanessa Soul sits down with archetypal coach, artist, and Soul Collage facilitator Ann Marshall to explore creativity as a spiritual practice, archetypes as mirrors for consciousness, and why artistic expression is not a talent reserved for a few but a birthright for all.Ann shares her personal journey of reclaiming creativity after years of suppression, addiction, and self-doubt, revealing how art became a pathway to healing, wholeness, and purpose. Together, Vanessa and Ann explore how archetypes operate through light and shadow, how creativity activates presence and receptivity, and why many people resist artistic expression not because they lack creativity, but because it reveals something honest and powerful within them.This episode is an invitation to reconnect with your inner artist, understand the archetypes shaping your life, and remember that your creative voice carries wisdom the world needs.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy creativity is about presence, not performanceHow archetypes function as both a mirror and a map for transformationThe difference between vision boards (intention) and Soul Collage (revelation)How the Seeker, Healer, and Artist archetypes show up in light and shadowWhy resistance, self-criticism, and frustration often appear when creativity awakensHow five minutes a day of creative expression can unlock flow and healingThe role of receptivity and trust in higher creative expressionHow archetypes intersect with astrology and the 5th house of creativityWhy withholding your creative voice is a disservice to the collectiveCONNECT WITH AN MARSHAL Website: https://anmarshallartist.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/anmarshallartist/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHs3XryK-F9-pT72USl-xwg

What does “going with the flow” actually mean in dating, and why does it so often lead to situationships, resentment, and self-abandonment? In the final episode of the Clarity Series, Sabrina breaks down how passivity, fear of asking for more, and chasing chemistry over availability keep people stuck in almost-relationships. This episode explores the psychological and nervous system reasons we suppress our needs, tolerate ambiguity, and confuse flexibility with emotional safety. You'll learn the difference between dating with intention versus dating from control or fear, how to identify your real non-negotiables, why situationships persist, and what it actually looks like to stop auditioning for love and start choosing yourself. If you're tired of waiting to be chosen, afraid of being “too much,” or stuck in cycles of undefined connections, this episode gives you the framework to leave self-abandonment behind and date with clarity, confidence, and self-trust. If you're ready to slow down, trust your instincts, and break your old dating patterns, the Healthy Relationship Foundations Course walks you through it step-by-step  HERE!

Jesse Todisco was a successful salesman by day and a heroin addict by night. Then came the 30-hour bus ride that changed everything.   In this episode of The Modern Man Podcast, I sit down with Jesse Todisco—author of From Heroin to Healer—to discuss the dark reality of high-functioning addiction and the "impossible" journey of recovery. Jesse opens up about breaking the cycle of generational trauma, the truth about quitting cold turkey, and the profound Ayahuasca experience where he reconnected with his deceased daughter. If you feel stuck, numb, or like you are repeating your father’s mistakes, this conversation is the wake-up call you need. We go beyond the surface to discuss why "success" often masks deep pain and how to finally find peace. In this episode, you will learn: The Hidden Cost: How high-performers hide addiction and why rock bottom is necessary. The Impossible Twist: Jesse’s firsthand account of seeing his dead daughter during a plant medicine ceremony. Breaking Trauma: How to stop being "just like your dad" and become the father your children need. Tactical Tools: How to use Breathwork and "Gratitude Stacking" to hack depression immediately.   CHAPTERS  0:00 - Intro: The High-Functioning Addict 09:18 - Growing Up With a Heroin Addict Father 11:11 - The 30-Hour Bus Ride That Saved My Life 13:51 - The Truth About Quitting Cold Turkey 22:49 - What Is a Spiritual Awakening?
