So many of us think we're following our desires - but what we're often following… is fantasy or someone else's idea of what our life "should" be.The fantasy of the perfect relationship.The perfect career.Life that looks good on paper.The perfect body - the ageless face.The version of success or love we were taught should make us happy.And while fantasy can feel exciting or intoxicating at first, it often comes with pressure, anxiety, urgency, and attachment to “potential.”True desire feels very different. It's grounded, quiet & clear.In this episode, Kate explores the subtle - but life-changing - difference between fantasy and true desire, and how learning to recognize it can transform not only your relationships, but the way you make every major decision in your life.Because this isn't just about dating.It's about:Who you choose to loveThe work you say yes toThe dreams you pursueAnd whether you're building a life that actually feels aligned… or just looks good from the outside.Inside this conversation, Kate shares:how conditioning and old wounds shape what we think we wantthe ways we chase potential instead of reality what true desire actually feels like in the body and nervous systemhow to slow down and make choices from self-trust instead of fear or provingthe shift from Saboteur patterns into your grounded, self-led HeroineThis episode is an invitation to stop performing a life and start choosing one that genuinely feels like you.If you've ever reached something you thought you wanted. only to feel empty once you got there - this conversation will offer clarity, language, and a new way forward.About the Host:Kate Harlow is the founder of The Unscriptd Woman, the creator of The Expanded Love Coaching Method, and host of The New Truth podcast - ranked in the top 1.5% globally.

In this episode, host Maynard Edwards sits down with Brian Bird of the Old Fashioned Masonic Podcast to talk about what happens when Freemasons start telling their stories on camera—and why that matters more than ever. From building real connection inside a massive lodge like Albert Pike Lodge No. 3 to using short-form clips and long-form conversations to “put a face” on the Craft, Brian shares how Masonic media can strengthen brotherhood and keep men engaged.Then the conversation takes a hard turn into “Clandy Land”: the growing problem of clandestine groups, degree-selling scams, and bogus “Grand Lodges” that prey on men seeking legitimate Freemasonry—sometimes costing victims years of time, thousands of dollars, and serious emotional harm. The episode closes with a frank look at how to respond with both caution and charity, and why consistent, accurate online information from legitimate lodges matters.In this episode:Why brotherhood gets harder (and more important) in very large lodgesHow the podcast started and what viewers respond toThe real-world damage caused by clandestine scamsWhy Masons should be compassionate, but firm about recognition and regularityHow good Masonic education and better lodge visibility can help stop the bleeding
Johanna Augustin is the CEO of Pond Design, one of Stockholm's leading packaging design studios, with over 20 years of experience shaping how we experience everyday products. But her journey to becoming a packaging design innovator began in the most unexpected place: Stockholm School of Economics.This conversation examines what occurs when you dare to follow your creative soul rather than the conventional path. Johanna explains how she left microeconomics and stock markets at 21, found her calling at the crossroads of strategy and creativity, and established a practice that is helping major brands shape the future of sustainable packaging.Johanna reveals how great design emerges at the intersection of data and passion, of business rigour and creative rebellion.This is a masterclass in discovering your place in the world, trusting your instincts rather than spreadsheets, and recognising that small details—the tactile feel of a box, the surprise copy inside a lid—can genuinely brighten someone's day.KEY TAKEAWAYSThe creative soul knows: At 21, studying economics, Johanna asked herself "is this life?" and trusted that feeling enough to pivot toward creativity, even without knowing exactly where it would leadPassion beats data: When choosing between someone who says "this is best because I say so" versus someone with all the data, Johanna chooses passion and confidence every time—that's where true innovation livesThe intersection is your superpower: Johanna found her space at the crossroads of strategy, growth, and creativity—not being a designer herself became her unique advantage in leading design teamsGeneration Alpha changes everything: Young people doing unboxing rituals, reading romantic copy on packaging, caring deeply about sustainability—they're not just consumers, they're co-creators of the futureSustainability requires proactivity: The worst scenario is reactive compliance with regulations that creates solutions everyone hates; brands need to dare to be proactive and push boundaries before they're forced toThe loop must close: Creating sustainable packaging isn't just about production—it's about understanding the entire journey from source to bin and back again, with equal complexity on both endsSmall details create joy: Packaging isn't shallow—it's about making someone's breakfast happier, adding surprise and delight to everyday moments, creating tactile experiences that matterAI amplifies creativity: Rather than being threatened by AI, embrace it as a tool for execution; like Adobe revolutionised design before, AI enables more creativity, more experimentation, more boundary-pushingCategories can bloom: When micro-breweries challenged traditional beer design language, the entire category blossomed; the same revolution is happening in beauty, spirits, and food—design innovation drives product innovation Daring Creativity.

You've done the work.You're self-aware.You can explain everyone's behavior in the situation…So why do you still feel triggered, exhausted, or quietly resentful?In this episode, Alicia breaks down why insight alone doesn't calm a dysregulated nervous system — and why high-functioning, emotionally intelligent stepmoms often struggle more, not less.This conversation is for the stepmom who:understands what's happening but still feels overwhelmedprides herself on being “the calm one”keeps asking, “Why isn't this working if I know better?”Alicia explores how self-awareness can accidentally turn into self-pressure, why explaining your feelings doesn't regulate them, and how emotional maturity has been confused with emotional suppression.Key takeaways from this episode:Why capable stepmoms struggle more than they expect toThe trap of “If I understand it, I won't feel it”How being self-aware can turn into being hard on yourselfWhy insight ≠ nervous system regulationHow unprocessed feelings quietly turn into resentmentIf you've ever thought, “I shouldn't feel this way anymore,” this episode will gently (and lovingly) call that out.
What do you do when God answered your prayer… and then it feels like everything falls apart? In this episode, Jaime teaches on persistent faith through the powerful biblical account of Elisha and the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 4. This is a message for anyone who has been waiting, believing, and praying for something God promised, only to feel like time, circumstances, or loss have threatened that promise. You'll hear why faith must be protected, why it matters who you share your faith with, and why persistence in God's presence is often the very thing that produces the miracle. Jaime walks through clear biblical patterns that show us how God responds to faith that refuses to let go. This is not a message about formulas. It's a message about staying close to God, declaring faith even when it doesn't look well yet, and continuing to pray until the answer comes. If you're believing God for healing, restoration, reconciliation, provision, or direction, this teaching will encourage you to stay engaged, stay in faith, and stay near the Source. What You'll Hear in This Episode Why faith can “leak” if it's not continually fed by God's WordWhat the Shunammite woman teaches us about urgency and determinationWhy some battles require silence and discernment about who you talk toThe importance of getting into God's presence before taking actionWhy answered prayers sometimes still require persistenceHow to pray again when the first prayer doesn't seem to workWhy time never cancels a promise God has spokenHow declaring “it is well” is faith, not denial Chapters: 00:00 – When the Promise Feels Delayed or Lost 09:10 – Staying Close to God Keeps You Close to the Miracle 21:00 – When God Gave It and It Died 35:10 – Refusing to Move Without God's Presence 55:15 – Persistent Faith When Time Feels Against You About your host: Jaime Luce' testimony has daunting personal mountains and treacherous financial valleys. She was trapped in day-to-day stress and couldn't see a way forward. But how she started is not how she finished! And she wants you to know God has a plan for your life too, no matter how tough it seems. Today, Jaime has been married to the love of her life for almost three decades, owns two companies, and has become an author and podcaster. God's way is always the blessed way!

Today I'm joined by Catherine for a chat about rediscovering magick, trusting intuition, and allowing creativity to unfold without pressure. I hope you enjoy it!In this episode we explore:1. Reclaiming magick later in lifeCatherine shares her experience of returning to magick after years away. Once deeply connected as a child, she describes how religion and relationships pulled her off that path, and how she now feels a clear calling to reclaim her inherent magick. Not as something new, but as something remembered.2. “Everybody is inherently magickal”Rebecca reframes the idea of being a “newbie witch,” emphasising that magick is not earned or bestowed but reclaimed. This conversation gently dismantles the idea that witchcraft requires lineage, expertise, or perfection, and instead centres embodiment, relationship, and presence.3. Divination as humanity's oldest language of meaningTogether they trace divination far beyond tarot and oracle cards, exploring how humans have always sought meaning. From birds, bones, smoke, stars, and entrails, to modern medicine and prediction-based science, divination is revealed as our instinctive way of making sense of uncertainty.4. Trusting the body after a lifetime of being taught not toThe conversation turns to how many of us were taught, as children, to override hunger, tiredness, discomfort, and intuition. Divination and ritual become ways of gently relearning self-trust and restoring a relationship with the body's wisdom.5. Ritual and relationship From cleansing cards to asking permission before taking a deer bone, Catherine and Rebecca speak about reverence rather than rules. Cards, crystals, bones, and objects are framed not as tools to control outcomes, but as allies we build relationships with over time.6. Slowness as a magickal actCatherine reflects on learning to go slowly in this phase of her life. Gathering objects, thrifting intuitively, nesting into her practice, and allowing curiosity to lead rather than goals. Rebecca affirms that magick has no end point, no checklist, and no finish line.7. Art as spellwork and becomingArt emerges as a central theme. Catherine shares how returning to painting after decades away has become part of her magickal rediscovery. Painting over old work, starting again, and allowing the process to lead mirrors her wider journey of becoming. Rebecca reflects on art as knowledge created through making, not output.8. Noticing as everyday magickFrom winter roses and unexpected tomatoes in December, to robins, daffodils, chalk pits, ancient skull sites, and dandelions breaking through concrete, this episode celebrates noticing as one of the most powerful magickal practices we have.9. Kindness, boundaries, and transmuting angerThe conversation closes with reflections on love, justice, protest magick, and discernment. Witchcraft is named as a path that does not deny anger or grief, but gives us ways to transmute them into action, boundaries, care, and change.This episode is for you if you:feel called back to magick after time awayare learning to trust themselves againfeel overwhelmed by noise, content, and certainty cultureare rediscovering creativity again in your lifewant magick without pressure, hierarchy, or performancebelieve slowness, noticing, and kindness are radical actsJoin us for a conversation that invites you to exhale, to soften, and to remember that you do not need to know where you're going to walk a magickal path.-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --All of the Magick:The A Pinch of Magick App:IPhone - download on the App StoreAndroid - download pn the Google PlayOur (free) magickal Community: Facebook GroupMagickal JournalsExplore on Amazon Rebecca's Author PageWebsiteRebeccaAnuwen.comMagickalHabits.comInstagramFor Magick: Click hereFor a Sacred Pause in Nature: Click hereFor CharmCasting: Click hereFor Merlin, my Dog: Click here

In this episode, Michal Renee' gets raw about the truth most high-functioning Christian women never say out loud:Your healing is often hidden inside your movement.Not the “do more” kind of movement…but the obedience movement — the steps you take when you don't feel worthy, don't feel ready, and don't feel qualified.Michal reflects on how God used her steps — the podcast, the prayers, the quiet yeses — to heal her through loss, rebuild her confidence, and reveal her impact through unexpected testimonies.You'll hear:How moving before you feel valuable reveals your value Why not starting is a silent loss to the people you're assigned toThe testimonies that carried Michal through heartbreak, grief, and transitionHow God attaches healing, clarity, and purpose to actionWhy obedience unlocks transformationThis episode is a reminder that your steps carry power — and somebody's breakthrough is tied to your movement.

Here's something I think we probably all would agree is true: Nonprofit leaders are great at saying yes. We say yes to opportunities. We say yes to those who need our help. It's kind of in our DNA. I know many Nonprofit leaders who see their readiness to say yes as a virtue. But what if some of the things we're saying yes to are not really serving us? What if they're actually getting in the way of us making our greatest impact?The truth is, what you say yes to affects your effectiveness and impact in the world. In this week's episode we get into how that works and why we need to pay attention. In this episode, we share:How busyness interferes with our ability to discern what we should be saying yes toThe first question to ask yourself before deciding whether to say yes or noHow the unconscious ‘no' will undermine your impactHow one Nonprofit CEO uncovered and reversed an unconscious “no” that was creating serious problems, and the empowering lessons she learned in the processAn effective 3-part mnemonic you can use to evaluate how to respond to a demand on your timeHow to uncover the hidden blocks that keep you from delegating as much as you probably shouldThree powerful questions to ask yourself to help you dismantle those blocks Help spread the word! If you found value in this episode, I'd be grateful if you would leave a review on iTunes or wherever you listen. Your reviews help other nonprofit leaders find the podcast. Thanks!!

Thethird great blessing we learn from verse 6, is that we are “accepted in theBeloved”. The first time the word “accepted” was used is in Genesis 4:7,where God accepted Abel's sacrifice, but He rejected Cain's sacrifice. Cain wasvery angry and God told him: Genesis 4:7 “If you do well, will you not beaccepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire isfor you, but you should rule over it." God was saying that if Cain would do the rightthing by bringing the right sacrifice that God could accept that he would beaccepted, otherwise sin would control him when he could have “ruled” orconquered it by the acceptable sacrifice. Wehave been “chosen” and we have been “adopted”. And we also been “acceptedin the Beloved to the praise of the glory of His grace”. One of the worst emotionsto have in our life is the feeling that we are being rejected. We might feelrejected by our parents. Sometimes we get rejected or feel rejected by ourpeers, by our friends, and rejected by our co-workers. There's this terrible sensethat you have when you walk into the room, people don't want you in there.You're not wanted. You're not a part of the group. I'veheard that young people will do anything to be accepted by their peers. They'llchange their looks. They'll change the color of their hair. They'll doeverything to look like those who accept them. My friend, oh my friend, you andI have the great spiritual blessing of being accepted by God. Before we becamea believer we were alienated from God. We were enemies from God. We were at warwith God. But Jesus Christ came, and He took the rejection of men. He wasdespised and rejected of men. He was a man of sorrows (Isaiah 53:3). Jesustook our sin. He took our place. He is the sin offering that God accepted. Theonly offering for sin that God could accept. He was the perfect sacrifice, the Lambof God, the One without spot and without blemish. He was stainless. He wasperfect before God. He was the only sacrifice that would satisfy the wrath ofGod. God had to turn His back to His Son when He was on the cross and in asense reject His Son, as His Son, so that His Son could become our sin on thatcross and die in our place. Nowbecause Jesus paid the full price. The offering for sin has been accepted. Whenyou read about the sacrifices and offering in the Old Testament you can't helpbut notice how many times it says that God could not accept certain sacrificesor offering because they didn't meet His standard. But thank God, now the onesacrifice of Jesus Christ has been accepted. “Tothe praise of the glory of His grace…” It is all by the grace of God and not what wedo. It's not by our works of righteousness. There's nothing we could do. If wecould bring peace to the whole world and settle all the wars and conflicts andby doing so got the Nobel Peace Prize, that will not give you one merit to enterheaven one day. It is only by the grace of God through the blood of JesusChrist and the fact that God has accepted His sacrifice. Now,you and I are accepted in the beloved. And my friend, if you know you'reaccepted by God, what does it matter if men reject you, if friends or anyoneelse rejects you? You know that your greatest need is to be accepted by God,and you are accepted in His Beloved Son Jesus Christ. How should we respond tothis great fact and truth? We should live acceptable lives before Him as weread in Romans 12:1-2. We make acceptable offerings by giving ourselves whollyand completely to Him and please Him because we have been accepted. Don'tever forget that you're accepted by God. You're accepted in His family. You'reone of His children. What a great, awesome, and wonderful spiritual blessing! Godbless!
