After a year away from the mic, I return with a story that cracked me open to the very core of my being. This past year, I walked through the darkest shadows of heartbreak, grief, and loss after losing my mum — the greatest loss of my life. In this raw and unfiltered episode, I share what it took to move through the depths of sorrow, how that pain became the catalyst for exponential soul expansion, and why I believe every breakdown holds the seed of a phoenix rising. I take you inside the moments that reshaped my entire life and mission: ✨ The night I crumbled to the kitchen floor and realised I had no choice but to heal - not just for me, but for my boys' future. ✨ How grief became the portal to Sacred Alchemy - where pain alchemised into my deepest power, pleasure, and truth. ✨ The healing of parts of me I thought were unlovable, unworthy, and “not enough” - especially in motherhood. ✨ The ending of my marriage and how separation cracked me open to more love, growth, and embodiment than I ever imagined. ✨ How reconnecting with my emotions and coming home to my truth unlocked my mission for Sacred Business - guiding women to rise into their illogical results, magnetic leadership, and soul-aligned expansion. This is not just my story - it's an invitation. If you've ever felt the weight of grief, heartbreak, shame, or self-doubt… let this episode remind you: even in the ashes of your deepest pain, your phoenix moment is waiting. 00:00 A Year of Transformation 02:50 The Journey of Grief and Loss 05:48 Embracing Vulnerability and Authenticity 08:12 The Impact of Maternal Loss 11:15 Navigating Grief and Motherhood 14:02 The Power of Resilience and Strength 16:50 Breaking Patterns and Seeking Support 19:54 The Pivotal Moment of Realization 27:53 Catalyst for Change: A Mother's Influence 31:40 Navigating Grief: The Journey of Healing 37:03 Embracing Emotions: A Path to Self-Discovery 42:43 Connecting Beyond: Spiritual Encounters 48:24 Transforming Pain into Purpose ✨ FREE 13 minute Wealth Meditation Activation coded with 5D frequencies of limitless potential, abundance, wealth, possibility, and manifestation to become an energetic match for your quantum leap. https://www.kailahlee.co/offers/PHHAWmEJ/checkout

In this powerful episode of The Live Free Podcast, Christine sits down with Blair Sorrel—a witty, refreshingly candid author who has not only lived with Schizoid Personality Disorder (SPD) but has also written a hilarious and insightful memoir about it.Growing up in the 60s and 70s, there was no diagnosis, no name for the emotional disconnection and intense inner world Blair experienced. With an emotionally distant mother and an absent father, she turned to pop culture and rock music to survive—and eventually, to thrive. It wasn't until the age of 33 that she finally received her diagnosis, a turning point that helped her make sense of her past and reframe her future.Blair describes herself as “an open book and a cautionary tale,” and in this episode, she opens up about identity, confidence, resilience, and the struggle to forge meaningful connection in a world that often misunderstands mental illness. She shares how volunteering, community engagement, and writing became powerful outlets—and how she's learned to embrace who she is on her own terms.If you've ever felt like an outsider, misunderstood, or like you had to fight for your own identity, Blair's story will resonate deeply. Her voice is a reminder that healing doesn't always look like what we expect—and that purpose and power can emerge from even the most unexpected places.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Schizoid Personality Disorder04:01 The Impact of Childhood Experiences06:57 Navigating Life with Schizoid Personality Disorder09:56 The Role of Confidence in Personal Development12:49 Overcoming Challenges through Volunteering15:37 Finding Purpose and Connection18:54 The Importance of Being Present21:43 Transforming Pain into Purpose25:01 Advice for Those Struggling with Mental Health27:54 Conclusion and ResourcesConnect With Blair: http://www.RockingTributes.comConnect With Live Free Wellness⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠linktr.ee/lvfree⁠⁠

Ajahn Dhammasiha explains the emotion of Saṃvega = Spiritual Shock/Spiritual Urgency. When we encounter Dukkha/Pain/Loss/Disappointment, the resulting sadness can make our heart dark and depressed. However, it's also possible to turn the pain we experience into a powerful motivation to practise the Buddha Dhamma with even more commitment and dedication, to ultimately free our heart from all suffering in the experience of the Deathless/Nibbāna.⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Our Spotify Playlists⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dhammagiri Youtube Channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#pain #loss #bereavement #buddhadhamma #dhammatalk

What happens when childhood trauma meets unwavering resilience? Katherine (Kat) Omo-Osagie's story answers this question with extraordinary power and grace.At just six years old, Kat witnessed unimaginable violence when her father shot her mother multiple times before taking his own life. Today, she stands tall as Miss Lewisville, a contestant in the 2025 Miss Texas pageant, a college scholar on a presidential scholarship, and a passionate mentor to young children finding their own paths.Kat takes us through her remarkable journey of healing - from the frightened child who lost her confidence in elementary school, to the middle schooler who was bullied when classmates discovered her family's experience through online searches, to the high achiever who still struggled with feeling "good enough" despite external success. With remarkable self-awareness, she articulates how trauma manifests differently throughout various life stages, creating new challenges even as she builds strength.The turning point came through pageantry, something Kat never imagined herself doing. Winning Miss Texas Teen in 2021 with her platform "Break the Cycle of Abuse" transformed the very story she once hid from into her greatest strength. "It was a really cool full circle moment to have this story of my family that was something I used to hide from...and then suddenly bring light to it and then have all this success because of it."Kat's philosophy, inherited from her resilient mother Stephanie Bond, that "adversity breeds success if you let it," shines through every aspect of her life. Her commitment to mentorship through Big Brothers Big Sisters reflects her desire to be for others what she needed as a child.This conversation isn't just about surviving domestic violence—it's about transforming pain into purpose and using your story to create ripples of positive change. As Kat eloquently puts it: "I never want to waste such a horrible thing that happened. If there can be good done with it..." Her journey reminds us that our deepest wounds can become our greatest gifts to the world.

Facing adversity often feels like a daunting challenge, but what if these struggles are actually stepping stones to profound spiritual growth? On this episode of the Thinking Talmudist podcast, we examine the teachings of Rabbi Shimon ben Yochai and Rabbi Akiva, who illuminate the spiritual gifts attainable through perseverance. Rabbi Akiva's inspiring journey, beginning his Torah study at age 40 and overcoming immense hurdles, reminds us that resilience can lead to understanding and influence that transcend time. By embracing these "afflictions of love," we prepare ourselves for greater achievements and deeper connections with our spiritual heritage.Words hold immense power, shaping reality and relationships in ways we often overlook. We explore how maintaining integrity in our speech, even in the face of social discomfort, is vital for personal and communal growth. Through stories of resilience, like the collective spirit post-September 11th, we highlight how shared struggles can unite and transform communities, urging us to cultivate unity and kindness. Like the process of creating olive oil, where pressure brings forth purity, adversity can reveal our best qualities and foster an indomitable spirit within individuals and communities alike.Parenting holds the delicate power to shape a child's future through affirmation and encouragement. Drawing on Talmudic wisdom and the example of the High Priest, Aharon HaKohen, we discuss the necessity of bending the truth at times for the sake of peace and harmony. Positive reinforcement from parents can set the stage for a child's confidence and success, and we stress how expressing belief in their potential can nurture their greatness. Whether it's encouraging a child or fostering harmony among people, these affirmations are the foundation of nurturing confident, capable individuals who carry forward the legacy of resilience and integrity._____________The Thinking Talmudist Podcast shares select teachings of Talmud in a fresh, insightful and meaningful way. Many claim that they cannot learn Talmud because it is in ancient Aramaic or the concepts are too difficult. Well, no more excuses. In this podcast you will experience the refreshing and eye-opening teachings while gaining an amazing appreciation for the divine wisdom of the Torah and the depths of the Talmud.This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by David & Susan MarbinRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios to a live audience on May 16, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on June 6, 2025_____________DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

What if the very struggles and afflictions we face are divine opportunities for introspection and growth? We invite you to explore the poignant insights of Tractate Brachot 5A, where ancient wisdom meets modern challenges. This episode unpacks the spiritual significance of illness and suffering, not as obstacles but as gifts that allow for emotional and spiritual preparation. Against the backdrop of the tragic events in Israel on October 7th, 2023, we draw parallels to the collective need for unity and reflection during national crises, urging us to find purpose and meaning even in our darkest moments.Emphasizing vigilance and dedication, we examine how the Torah community must embrace a renewed sense of responsibility. Through personal anecdotes and teachings from the Talmud, we see how unexpected situations can transform into opportunities for mitzvot, revealing the divine messages hidden within our daily experiences. Reflect on the profound concept of "afflictions of love," where divine trials aren't just burdens but pathways to purify the soul and earn eternal rewards. As we connect these lessons to the spiritual essence of the Korban Asham, we understand the weight of acknowledging wrongdoings and seeking atonement.In a world where routine often dulls passion, this episode challenges us to maintain the sincerity and purpose behind our sacred practices. Through the lens of childhood vaccinations, we draw parallels to how afflictions are expressions of divine love. We also explore the profound notion from the Talmud that the suffering of children serves as a powerful atonement message for their generation, urging personal and communal introspection. Together, we strive to embrace these lessons, extending wishes for a meaningful and peaceful Shabbos, filled with reflection and spiritual connection._____________The Thinking Talmudist Podcast shares select teachings of Talmud in a fresh, insightful and meaningful way.

In this episode of the Addict II Athlete podcast, Coach Blu Robinson interviews Scott Strode, founder of The Phoenix, about the transformative power of movement in recovery from addiction. They discuss the importance of bringing recovery into the light, building new identities through physical activity, and the role of forgiveness in healing. Scott shares his personal journey and insights on how community and shared experiences can foster resilience and strength in those recovering from addiction. In this conversation, Blu and Scott explore the transformative journeys of individuals in recovery, emphasizing the importance of community, support, and collective healing. They discuss the ethos of the Phoenix organization, which focuses on lifting each other and creating nurturing spaces for growth. Scott shares insights on endurance events as a means of connection and support, and highlights the significance of his book, 'Rise, Recover, Thrive,' which encapsulates the message of community and healing in recovery. Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Recovery and Movement 04:28 The Power of Bringing Recovery into the Light 10:07 Building Identity Through Movement 14:20 Transforming Pain into Strength 22:40 The Role of Forgiveness in Recovery 29:10 Beyond Addiction: Embracing a New Identity 30:10 Transformative Journeys: From Pain to Purpose 33:36 Building a Nurturing Community: The Phoenix Ethos 36:48 The Power of Collective Recovery: A Movement, Not an Organization 40:30 Endurance Events: The Spirit of Support and Connection 48:27 Rise, Recover, Thrive: The Message of Community and Healing takeaways Movement was a key part of my recovery journey. Bringing recovery into the light helps combat shame. We need to create spaces for people to express their intrinsic strength. Community support is crucial in the recovery process. Identities can be rebuilt through athletic pursuits. Pain can be transformed into strength and motivation. We must innovate our approach to addiction recovery. Everyone has gifts to share in the recovery community. The journey of recovery can be painful but transformative. Coaching offers a different approach than traditional therapy. Community support is essential in the recovery process. The Phoenix ethos is about lifting each other up. Connection is vital for overcoming challenges in recovery. Endurance events foster a sense of community and support. The Phoenix is a movement, not just an organization. Healing is a collective effort, not an individual pursuit.

“God didn't waste my pain — He repurposed it.”What an unforgettable episode of Full Circle with Coach MO (Monique Smith) — grief and life coach, author, and inspirational speaker.Coach MO shared her deeply personal story: Within just one year, she endured the heartbreaking loss of nine loved ones. That season of unimaginable grief shattered her, but it also reshaped her understanding of faith, healing, and purpose. Instead of being consumed by pain, she turned to the Word of God, clung to His promises, and discovered a divine calling: to walk with others through the valley of loss and guide them toward hope.She reminded us that grief doesn't have a deadline — but healing is possible when we create space for it.Through a powerful blend of biblical truth, behavioral therapy, music, and poetry, she equips others to confront sorrow with grace and find purpose after loss. She spoke candidly about creating a safe, sacred space for people to process pain, honor their feelings, and rebuild with faith as their foundation.If you or someone you love is navigating grief, this conversation is a must-listen.

Welcome to our special Passover episode, where we explore the profound layers of the Passover Seder, a ceremony that beautifully encapsulates over three millennia of Jewish history and identity. In this episode, we discuss the fifteen steps of the Seder, from Kiddush to the festive meal, and delve into the powerful narratives and symbols that connect us to our ancestors.We share a humorous yet insightful exchange between a rabbi and an astrophysics professor, which cleverly illustrates the depth of Talmudic study compared to the simplification of complex ideas. The conversation highlights how Jewish traditions and teachings are much more than historical records; they are vibrant memories passed down through generations, forming a continuous link back to the Exodus from Egypt.We reflect on how the presence of multiple generations at the Seder table turns these historical events into a vivid collective memory, extending back hundreds of years and forward into future gatherings. This episode also touches on the intriguing absence of certain words in Biblical Hebrew, such as "history," which is replaced with "memory" — a concept deeply ingrained in Jewish culture.Join us as we discuss how the Passover Seder transcends mere historical recounting, acting instead as a dynamic memory that engages with the past as a living part of our present and future. We conclude with a powerful message on transforming pain into blessing, inspired by the life of Henrietta Szold, who turned personal hardship into a legacy of love and humanitarianism.Main Takeaways:The Seder as a Link Across Time: The Passover Seder is not just a ritual but a bridge connecting 3,300 years of Jewish history through family stories and traditions passed down through generations.Memory Over History: The episode explores why the Hebrew language prefers the term "memory" over "history," emphasizing personal and collective identity formation through remembered experiences rather than impersonal historical events.Cultural Insights: A look at how the absence of certain words in Hebrew, like "history" and "civility," reflects deeper cultural values, with "memory" (zachor) and "chutzpah" taking prominent roles.Humor and Wisdom: The interaction between the rabbi and the professor serves as a metaphor for the depth and complexity of Jewish teachings and the importance of continual learning and interpretation.Transforming Pain into Blessing: Inspired by Henrietta Szold's story, the episode underscores a fundamental Jewish principle of using persoSupport the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

What if healing after trauma wasn't just about survival—but about creativity, reclamation, and transformation? Today's guest, Marlee Liss, is living proof that healing can look radically different than what we've been taught. After experiencing sexual violence, she was thrown into the justice system and quickly realized something: the traditional punitive approach wasn't leading to healing—it was retraumatizing. So, she did something groundbreaking.Marlee became the first person in North America to advocate for and successfully secure a court-ordered restorative justice process, requiring her assailant to undergo mandated therapy instead of incarceration. Through this process, she proved that true justice isn't always about punishment—it can be about deep, lasting accountability, healing, and even transformation.This is the second episode in my series on using creativity to change the world—because creativity isn't just for art. It's for how we think, how we heal, and how we rebuild broken systems.✨ From this conversation, you'll learn:The radical question that changed everything for Marlee—and how it can change your life, tooWhy the justice system often fails survivors—and what a real, healing alternative looks likeHow creativity can be used to solve even the world's toughest problemsThe surprising key to true healing: reclaiming joy, pleasure, and personal freedom-Remember to subscribe/follow the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.
