Today, we're bringing everything together—layering the week's techniques into one steady, nourishing practice that helps you embody the fresh start you've been craving. This is your integration episode: a guided reset that gently combines breath, visualization, affirmation, and embodiment cues—so the clarity you've been building doesn't stay in your mind… it settles into your nervous system. You'll begin by calming your body with the breath pattern you've practiced, then move into the fresh-start visualization: opening the inner windows, clearing the mental clutter, and stepping into a lighter, cleaner version of your year. From there, you'll weave in the supportive elements from the week—grounding stability, spacious awareness, and inner truth—so you can feel your next chapter forming from the inside out. And throughout the meditation, you'll be reminded of the core theme that makes real growth sustainable: you get to evolve at your own pace. This episode is perfect if you want to feel renewed without rushing, motivated without pressure, and clear without overthinking. Let this be your anchor—a practice you can return to any time you want to reset, realign, and begin again. This is day 6 of a 7-day meditation series, "Refresh: A Gentle Reset for a Brand New Year,"  episodes 2819-2825. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY: THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "A Brand New Approach" This week's challenge offers you a way to experience a life refresh. You're invited to do something every day to uplevel your life in some way. You might select one area of your life to focus on refreshing. Think about what you have been putting off doing for yourself. This is the week to begin honoring yourself again. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Day 1:  Refresh Visualization Day 2:  Affirmation: "I evolve at my own pace." Day 3:  Visualization Breath Day 4:  Tattva mudra for self-expression Day 5:  Fifth Chakra for inner truth Day 6:  Refresh Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure Welcome to this special series: Refresh — a gentle, powerful reset for the start of a brand new year. If you've been craving that clean-slate feeling—not just on your calendar, but inside your mind and in the way you live—this is for you. Because a new year isn't only a date. It's an invitation. To clear what's been cluttering your inner space… to come back to what matters… and to choose how you want to feel as you move forward. Over the next seven episodes, we're going to refresh seven key areas of your life—not with pressure, perfection, or a long list of goals… but with inner clarity. Think of this series like opening the windows of your life and letting fresh air move through every room. Each day, we'll focus on one area—simple, practical, and deeply supportive. You'll be guided through: a short, grounding insight to create perspective a few reflective prompts to clarify what's true for you right now and a calming meditation to help you integrate the shift—so this becomes something you feel, not just something you think about This isn't about fixing yourself. You're not behind. You don't need to become someone else to have a meaningful year. This is about coming home to yourself—and gently updating the way you live, so your days match the person you're becoming. So wherever you are—making coffee, sitting in your car, walking outside, or curled up in a quiet corner—take a breath and let this be your beginning. Welcome to your refresh. Let's start the year with clarity… and create a life that feels clean, aligned, and truly yours. SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

The answer may lie in understanding the Law of Attraction and how your thoughts, emotions, and actions work together to shape your reality. In this powerful episode of The Obsessed Podcast, we break down how the Law of Attraction really works, demystify manifestation, and give you practical, real-world tools you can start using today to attract what you truly desire. Join Julie Lokun, JD, Mika Altidor, and Tia Morell Walden as we explore the science-meets-spirituality principles behind manifestation, featuring insights from Michael Losier, internationally recognized Law of Attraction expert and featured guest on The Oprah Show. Grab your favorite drink, get comfortable, and get Obsessed with creating the life you were meant to live. What Is the Law of Attraction? (00:00:00 – 00:01:51) At its core, the Law of Attraction is based on one simple truth: Your thoughts and feelings create your reality. Everything you experience—relationships, career opportunities, confidence, abundance—begins with your internal world. The Law of Attraction teaches that like attracts like, meaning the energy you put out is the energy you receive back. Thought alone isn't enough.Aligned action is what activates manifestation. The Core Mechanics of the Law of Attraction Positive vs. Negative Energy Your mindset acts like a magnet: Positive thoughts and emotions attract opportunities, growth, and aligned people Negative thoughts and self-talk attract resistance, fear, and limitation Awareness is the first step to shifting your energy. The 3 Steps to Manifestation: How the Law of Attraction Works (00:03:51 – 00:05:11) Step 1: Ask Be crystal clear about what you want. Manifestation tools include: Writing your desires down Visualization practices Feeling the emotion of already having it Clarity creates momentum. Step 2: Believe Belief is the bridge between desire and reality. Trust the process Release doubt and fear Act as if your desire is already unfolding Belief isn't passive—it's intentional confidence. Step 3: Receive This is where many people get stuck. Stay open to opportunities Practice gratitude for small wins Say “yes” when alignment shows up Receiving requires trust and readiness. Manifesting in Real Time: Daily Practices That Work (00:05:11 – 00:09:10) To activate the Law of Attraction consistently: Practice daily visualization Cultivate gratitude rituals Eliminate negative self-talk Take inspired action, even when it feels uncomfortable Manifestation is not magic—it's momentum. Final Thoughts on Manifestation & Mindset (00:09:10 – 00:09:42) When your thoughts, emotions, and actions align, transformation happens. Remember: Be patient—timing matters Stay consistent Trust yourself VisualizePractice gratitudeEliminate negative self-talkTake inspired action And most importantly—get involved and share your journey with us.

Shop here:https://theorganicskinco.com/ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) What is the Law of Attraction in simple terms? The Law of Attraction is the belief that your thoughts, emotions, and actions influence the experiences you attract into your life. Does the Law of Attraction really work? Yes—when combined with intentional action, emotional alignment, and belief, it becomes a powerful mindset and behavior-shaping tool. How long does manifestation take? There is no set timeline. Manifestation depends on belief, consistency, alignment, and openness to opportunity. Can negative thoughts block manifestation? Negative self-talk and limiting beliefs can slow progress, but awareness and mindset shifts can quickly restore alignment. What's the best way to start manifesting today? Start with clarity, practice daily gratitude, visualize your goals, and take one inspired action each day. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The pasuk says in this week's parashat Shemot, וַתֵּתַצַּב אֲחֹתוֹ מֵרָחֹק לְדֵעָה מַה־יֵּעָשֶׂה -לוֹ Simply, this refers to Miriam, Moshe's older sister, who was standing by watching what would happen to him when he was put into the Nile River. Rabbi Menashe Reizman quoted the Midrash which explains that this pasuk is referring to the Shechinah, standing there watching from afar. The Midrash proves from other pesukim how every word in that pasuk is a reference to the Shechinah. The Maharsha, Masechet Sotah, explains the Midrash is teaching us that although Moshe being thrown into the river seemed like an act of destruction, the ways of Hashem are very far from us. Miriam had a prophecy that the savior was going to be born, and this looked like a nullification of that prophecy. However, this was actually the way in which the prophecy became fulfilled. It was through this that Moshe was raised safely in the palace by the daughter of Pharoah. It also teaches us that although this took place when the harshest slavery began, it appeared that Hashem was so distant, but He was right there standing with them. During their darkest time, Hashem was making the greatest miracles—causing the daughter of Pharoah to go down to the Nile at the exact time Moshe was placed there, and then making the miracle of her arm stretching out to reach him. Rabbi Reizman pointed out that the Torah only devotes six pesukim to discussing all of the slavery in Mitzrayim. Right after that, begins the story of the redemption—how Moshe was born and how he became the go'el. Even the pesukim that speak about the throwing of the babies into the Nile mention Miryam and Yocheved, the mother and sister of the go'el. Perhaps one explanation of this is that we are not meant to dwell too much on the difficulties that we are given. It is hard for us to comprehend how pain and suffering could possibly be good for us, and therefore it is incumbent upon us not to analyze the details too deeply, but rather to trust in Hashem. When Hashem called to Moshe from the burning bush, the pasuk says that Moshe was afraid to look. Hashem appeared to Moshe in a thorn bush, symbolizing עִמּוֹ אָנֹכִי בְצָרָה -He was with us during that hard time. Moshe did not see all the harsh slave labor because he was in Midyan. The Mefarshim explain that here Hashem began showing Moshe the suffering that the Jewish people were going through, but Moshe was afraid to look because he did not want to lower his level of emunah and potentially have questions on the way Hashem was dealing with them. One of the harshest decrees was that Pharoah was killing 150 babies every morning and another 150 every evening, bathing in their blood because he had tzara'at. When Moshe heard about this, along with the fact that Jewish babies were being built into the walls as bricks, he asked Hashem what they did to deserve this. Hashem told Moshe that all of those babies were from previous generations and were receiving their tikkun. It was all chesed, meant to purify them. Hashem told Moshe that if he really wanted, he could save one—and Moshe did. That one baby-Micha- brought about the worst destruction. He was the one who took the Shem Hashem that Moshe used to bring Yosef's aron out of the sea, threw it into the fire when the Jews were waiting for Moshe to come down from Har Sinai, and caused the Egel(golden calf) to emerge alive. Until today, we are still suffering from the effects of the Egel. He later made an idol when they entered Eretz Yisrael, causing countless tragedies to befall the Jewish people. He was also known as Nevat, the father of Yeravam, who caused the exile of the Ten Tribes. That destruction came from just one of those babies. The Lev Aryeh writes that all those who perished in Mitzrayim were neshamot from earlier generations that returned for a tikkun—the generations of the Mabul, Dor HaPelagah, and the people of Sedom. The Mishnah says in Pirkei Avot, אַל תִּסְתַּכֵּל בַּקַּנְקָן אֶלָּא בְּמַה שֶּׁיֵּשׁ בּוֹ (Avot 4:20) The Lev Aryeh explains homiletically that this also refers to the tragedies in Mitzrayim. The word קן has the numerical value of 150. Do not look at what happened to the 150 babies in the morning and the 150 babies in the evening; rather, look at who those people really were—resha'im who needed a tikkun. Hashem is always standing near us, but He appears to be afar because His ways are so far beyond our understanding. Everything He does is chesed. We do not have the ability to comprehend His ways in this world, but we do have the ability to trust in Him. We should not dwell excessively on the difficulties; rather, we should believe that everything is chesed done out of love. And if we have that emunah, then we will be considered people who are truly loyal. Shabbat Shalom

Trust in health care AI won't happen by hype. It will be earned through transparent standards, independent evaluation, and real-world performance monitoring. In this episode, Dr. Brian Anderson, President & CEO and Co-Founder of the Coalition for Health AI (CHAI), discusses why health care needs a technically specific, use-case-by-use-case definition of “good” AI and how CHAI is building voluntary consensus-driven guidelines around fairness, transparency, safety, robustness, and privacy. He shares how his frustration with bloated EHR workflows pushed him into digital health innovation, then into pandemic-era public-private coordination during Operation Warp Speed, where rapid collaboration revealed what's possible when incentives align. Brian explores CHAI's “AI nutrition labels” (model cards), an emerging registry, and why vendors may opt into scrutiny to speed sales cycles and prove value. He also digs into ambient clinical documentation, performance metrics that matter to clinicians, cost pressure through apples-to-apples comparisons, agentic AI to expand rural access, and the alignment and biosecurity risks that demand vigilance.

Sometimes the most loving thing God can do is interrupt our plans and reroute our expectations. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar explore how divine disruptions are not accidents or setbacks but intentional moments in which God breaks into ordinary life to accomplish eternal purposes. The guys explain that trials and detours are not problems to escape but pathways God uses to shape trust, deepen faith, and redirect hearts. Ray shares how his own salvation was an unplanned interruption, reminding listeners that without Christ, humanity remains helpless and lost. Yet, God steps in at the precise moment to change everything.The guys reflect on how Scripture reframes interruptions as invitations rather than inconveniences. Drawing from the life of Jesus, they note that even when Christ sought rest, He responded to interruptions with compassion and obedience to the Father's will. E.Z. shares how unmet expectations challenged him to examine whether his worship depended on outcomes or on trust in God's character. The guys emphasize that God is not punishing His people in these moments but positioning them, and that believers often misunderstand their relationship with God as contractual instead of covenantal. True devotion flows from trusting that God directs every step, even when plans unravel.They move on to the reality that what feels like disruption is often providence unfolding. The guys highlight biblical examples such as Joseph, whose life spiraled from favor to suffering before God used him to preserve many lives. They stress that believers see only a chapter while God sees the entire story. Jesus is presented as the fulfillment of every faithful figure in Scripture, the true and better Adam, Abraham, Jacob, Moses, and Job. These truths are meant to lead to worship, as theology rightly understood draws hearts toward awe and surrender, especially in seasons of chaos.Finally, the guys warn against resisting God's interruptions, pointing to Jonah as an example of obedience delayed by bitterness. They remind listeners that idols often hide behind expected outcomes and that God's primary work is to shape the heart, not to guarantee success. Every no from God is framed as kindness, every hardship as purposeful, and every interruption as an expression of grace. The cross itself stands as the ultimate divine disruption, reshaping eternity through suffering and redemption. The guys wrap up by calling believers to perseverance, gratitude, and trust, confident that God is for His people, too wise to be mistaken, and too good to be unkind.Send us a textThanks for listening!

So much of our world today can be summed up in the cold logic of “if I don't, they will.” This is the foundation of game theory, which holds that cooperation and virtue are irrational; that all that matters is the race to make the most money, gain the most power, and play the winning hand. This way of thinking can feel inescapable, like a fundamental law of human nature. But our guest today, professor Sonja Amadae, argues that it doesn't have to be this way. That the logic of game theory is a human invention, a way of thinking that we've learned — and that we can unlearn.In this episode, Tristan and Aza explore the game theory dilemma — the idea that if I adopt game theory logic and you don't, you lose — with Dr. Sonja Amadae, a professor of Political Science at the University of Helsinki. She's also the director at the Center for the Study of Existential Risk at the University of Cambridge and the author of “Prisoners of Reason: Game Theory and the Neoliberal Economy.”The history of game theory as an inhumane technology stretches back to its WWII origins. But humans also cooperate, and we can break out of the rationality trap by daring to trust each other again. It's critical that we do, because AI is the ultimate agent of game theory and once it's fully entangled we might be permanently stuck in the game theory world.RECOMMENDED MEDIA“Prisoners of Reason: Game Theory and the Neoliberal Economy” by Sonja Amadae (2015)The Cambridge Centre for the Study of Existential Risk“Theory of Games and Economic Behavior” by John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern (1944)Further reading on the importance of trust in FinlandFurther reading on Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of NeedsRAND's 2024 Report on Strategic Competition in the Age of AIFurther reading on Marshall Rosenberg and nonviolent communicationThe study on self/other overlap and AI alignment cited by AzaFurther reading on The Day After (1983) RECOMMENDED YUA EPISODESAmerica and China Are Racing to Different AI FuturesThe Crisis That United Humanity—and Why It Matters for AILaughing at Power: A Troublemaker's Guide to Changing TechThe Race to Cooperation with David Sloan Wilson Clarifications:The proposal for a federal preemption on AI was enacted by President Trump on December 11, 2025, shortly after this recording. Aza said that "The Day After" was the most watched TV event in history when it aired.

Marketing is shifting — and many brands feel it, even if they can't yet name it. In this episode, Sonia Thompson speaks with Bennie F. Johnson, CEO of the American Marketing Association, about the AMA 2026 Marketing Trends shaping the future of modern marketing and growth marketing. They unpack how trust in marketing, AI in marketing, and audience fragmentation are rewriting the rules of growth — driving up customer acquisition costs, raising expectations for relevance, and reshaping how brands build credibility in identity-driven communities. Drawing on insights from the AMA's 2026 Future Trends in Marketing research, this conversation explores what's changing beneath the surface — from responsible artificial intelligence, inclusive leadership, and evolving workforce models to the implications for growth strategy in today's complex marketing environment.

#741 What if one simple 3D render could instantly boost client trust, speed up approvals, and help you win higher-paying projects? In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with John Kaplar, founder of Focused SketchUp, to show how creative entrepreneurs can use 3D visualization to win more clients and deliver better projects. John shares his journey from an 18-year software career to building a fast-growing education business teaching designers SketchUp, V-Ray, and AI — then walks through a live demo of how tools like Freepik can “glow up” older renders, apply mood-board finishes, and even generate day/night variations and short video-style camera moves for more compelling client presentations and social content. If you're a designer (or work with designers) and want faster approvals, fewer construction surprises, and more trust with clients, this one's packed with practical takeaways! What we discuss with John: + Leaving an 18-year software career + Building Focused SketchUp + Using SketchUp for 3D modeling + V-Ray for photorealistic renders + AI as a render “glow-up” tool + Faster client approvals + Aligning clients, designers, contractors + Day vs. night render variations + AI-generated social content + Trust through visualization Thank you, John!

What if the person you just passed on the street… isn't who you think they are?

Romans 10:1-2 — Is the Christian zealous for God? If so, is it a true or false sense of zeal? Paul points out that the church does have a zeal for God, but that it is not based on knowledge. In a sermon on Romans 10:1–2 titled “Trust and Zeal,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones outlines the differences between true and false zeal in the Christian life. First, he outlines several tests that can apply to a person's zeal to determine if it is a false sense of zeal. A few of these arguments include a zeal that has been imposed rather than genuine; a focus on actions rather than just being oneself; a likeness to frivolity and the flesh; and a focus on self and one's own power rather than the Lord's. On the other hand, a few arguments for true zeal include a zeal that is put on by the Lord; a result of true knowledge; zeal that is not showy but deep; and a result of genuine behavior. At the end, Dr. Lloyd-Jones charges believers to ensure they have true zeal for the sake of those who are lost. He challenges those who have heard the gospel and know the truth to be zealous and concerned for those who have not heard.

Besides for the eternal merits that mitzvot give us, there are also segulot within them that bring blessing in this world as well. When someone is in need of a yeshua, one of the greatest approaches is to become extra careful with a specific mitzvah to increase his merits through it. The Chovot HaLevavot, in Shaar Ahavat Hashem, writes that when a person helps others grow in Torah and mitzvot, his merits become endless, because they are multiplied according to the merits of all those he helped. Rabbi Yisrael Brog shared a powerful story that reveals the value in Shamayim of being mezakeh the rabim. Rabbi Pinchas Peretz is a rabbi in Ofakim. Every day, his wife would take their daughter to playgroup. One day, she asked him to do it instead, because she had something important to attend to. Rabbi Peretz put his daughter into the car and then drove to his print shop, as he did every day. At one o'clock in the afternoon, his wife called to remind him to pick up their daughter. The playgroup was not far from his shop, so he walked there calmly. When he arrived, he was told that his wife had never brought their daughter that day. In an instant, he froze. He realized that since eight o'clock that morning, his daughter had been left in the car on a blazing hot day. He began screaming and running frantically back to his car, fearing the worst. As he ran, he called Hatzalah. When he reached the car, he saw his daughter, her face beet red, but unbelievably, she was still alive. She was breathing heavily and appeared to be in a deep sleep. Emergency responders arrived immediately, administered treatment, and stabilized her. They told Rabbi Peretz that she was literally minutes away from tragedy. She was rushed to the hospital, given IV fluids, and treated extensively. The doctors could not believe that a child who had been in a hot car for five hours was still alive. That night, Rabbi Peretz saw in a dream that he was standing before the Heavenly Court. A decree had been issued that his daughter would pass away. Suddenly, Chacham Ovadia Yosef appeared and pleaded on her behalf, saying that in the merit of her father being mezakeh the rabim, she should live. Rabbi Peretz prints Torah messages in his print shop and distributes them free of charge to the public. So many people grow closer to Hashem through those words of Torah. When he woke up, he understood the magnitude of the miracle that had taken place. Rabbi Brog also shared another story. There was a man who would hang signs in his neighborhood every Wednesday, reminding people of candle lighting times and when Shabbat begins. When someone asked him why he does it, he answered that he wanted to help people be more careful with the honor of Shabbat. Another individual, already in his forties and still not married, decided to take on a merit for the public. He became a central contact point where people could send resumes, and he would forward them to those who could help with shidduchim. Baruch Hashem, not long afterward, he himself got married. There is no shortage of mitzvot through which a person can help others. Some strengthen shemirat halashon by sharing daily halachot through phone lines or printed sheets in shuls. Some help others with modesty, others with shemirat ha'einayim, and the list goes on. Every mitzvah carries immense merit, but when a person helps others perform mitzvot, the merit becomes endless.

At first, I thought I had the answer. But wait ‘til you hear where this convo went… We broke down something we see ALL the time: people chasing views... but losing trust. We asked stuff like: What's content really supposed to do? Why are some videos getting tons of views but zero results for their businesses?

Google has introduced an AI-powered inbox view for Gmail, designed to enhance user experience by transforming the traditional email interface into a personalized platform that includes to-do items and topic summaries. This feature, currently available to trusted testers in the U.S. for consumer Gmail accounts, aims to help users manage their emails more effectively. However, concerns have been raised about the potential for users to feel overwhelmed by excessive to-do suggestions, and Google has stated that users can opt out of these AI features. The company also reassured users that their Gmail content is not utilized for training AI models.OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Health, a tool that allows users to ask health-related questions in a secure environment while connecting their medical records and wellness apps. Although the tool is not intended for diagnosis or treatment, it raises significant concerns regarding safety and privacy, particularly in sensitive areas like mental health. OpenAI has collaborated with over 260 physicians to refine the model, but the lack of full compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) has led to calls for caution, especially for users with health anxiety. The implications of these tools extend beyond user convenience, as they redefine the nature of work and authority in digital environments.The episode also discusses the growing backlash against AI infrastructure, particularly in local communities where data centers are being proposed. Reports indicate that opposition is rising across the political spectrum, with residents voicing concerns about the environmental and economic impacts of these developments. Additionally, polling data shows that 80% of American adults believe the government should regulate AI, reflecting a significant political opportunity for the Democratic Party. This sentiment is prompting leaders to adopt more vocal stances against AI, as many voters feel threatened by its rapid advancement.For Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT service leaders, these developments underscore the importance of understanding the evolving regulatory landscape surrounding AI technologies. As states implement new laws addressing AI safety and consumer rights, MSPs must navigate the complexities of compliance and governance. The episode highlights the necessity for providers to establish clear boundaries regarding AI's influence in client environments, ensuring accountability and minimizing liability risks. As AI continues to integrate into various aspects of technology, the need for informed decision-making and proactive engagement with regulatory changes becomes increasingly critical. Four things to know today 00:00 Google and OpenAI Recast AI as an Authority Layer Over Email and Health Data05:03 From Data Centers to Regulation, AI Expansion Encounters Political and Community Limits08:18 AI, Privacy, and Liability Converge as States Fill the Regulatory Vacuum Left by Washington14:07 Dell Says Consumers Aren't Buying PCs for AI Features, Despite NPU Push This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by: 

What does it take to build trust on the internet—at global scale? In Episode 111 of The Puck: Venture Capital & Beyond, Jim Baer sits down with Jimmy Wales, co-founder of Wikipedia, to explore why trust—not technology—is the true foundation of open systems. Wales reflects on Wikipedia's evolution from a scrappy experiment into one of the most trusted information sources in the world, and why neutrality, transparency, and purpose matter more than algorithms or scale. The conversation centers on ideas from his new book, The Seven Rules of Trust, including how institutions earn trust, how they lose it, and what it takes to build systems that last. Baer and Wales also dive into: Why trust across journalism, politics, and business is collapsing How Wikipedia governs bias without a single “editor-in-chief” The role of funding models in preserving independence Why AI systems struggle with transparency and attribution What the decline of local journalism means for democracy How open debate—done fairly—can be a path toward social cohesion In a world increasingly shaped by algorithms, outrage, and information overload, this episode offers a sober, thoughtful look at how trust is built—and why it remains indispensable.

I am so excited for this episode of In Conversation, where the amazing Rachel Demy joins me to discuss the periphery in photography. I have known Rachel for years, and we had such a great conversation. I was thinking about our conversation over the past few weeks and how to introduce you to Rachel’s work. I think that one of the hallmarks of her latest work is that it isn’t loud. It unfolds quietly, asking you to slow down and look again. Her photographs sit somewhere between studied observation and intuition, where mood, atmosphere, gesture, and restraint become actors in the image.  I love how her work shifts as you spend time with it. The tension of attentiveness moves to a sense of patience.  In this conversation, we start with the topic of the periphery in photography and go down a rabbit hole. Both of us agree that peripheral is not just a biology, but a way of being present while making photographs. We talk about how photography isn’t only about what we choose to place inside the frame, but also about what exists just beyond it. That awareness, at the time of photographing or in processing, of the unseen can shape the image, adding emotional and psychological depth. For Rachel, watching Richard Mosse’s film Broken Specter challenged her perception and became a catalyst for thinking differently about how we see, how we feel space, and how expanded awareness can influence photographic work.  Of course, with any conversation, we dug into how we are trained to think, what inspires us, what worries us about our practice, and how we sometimes have to let go and surrender to the process and path we are on. Trust the seeing. Trusting our intuition,  I really enjoyed the insights I got from listening to her talk about how intuition becomes especially pronounced in her night photography. Working in darkness heightens awareness and taps into what she described as an “animal vision. In those moments, we become less analytical and more responsive, guided by feeling, rhythm, and an embodied sense of presence. We also touched on creative dormancy, with both of us hitting long periods of slow work development. It was a reminder that pauses, rest, and reflection are not failures of creativity, but essential parts of its rhythm. Rachel’s perspective on photography and creativity is thoughtful, generous, and deeply felt, and our conversation was filled with genuine insights and discoveries. I am so looking forward to the next one.  You can connect with Rachel on social media at @racheldemy, on her website www.racheldemy.com, or explore her book Between Everywhere: On the Road with Death Cab for Cutie.

Did you ever get a big, bold sign you didn't request and had no idea what it meant? Such a sign can help you make a good decision. I've Never Seen Anything Like This A hawk slammed into my sliding glass door, holding a woodpecker in its talons. They struggled and tore the screen. I was so disturbed that I banged on the door to make it stop. The hawk flew onto the deck, prey in its grip, sitting there as the life drained out of the woodpecker. I stood there stunned, asking myself, what could this possibly mean? The Background Before getting into the symbolism, it helps to know where I was emotionally that day. I had been deep in the process of reworking my branding for the past couple of months, which capped off a long 14 months of rethinking what I offer and who I'm best positioned to help. There's no single “right” answer when it comes to branding, but I desperately didn't want to get it wrong. That fear led to a kind of freeze with overthinking and no forward movement. Ironically, that same morning I finally made a decision. By the afternoon, I was relaxing for the first time in a while, reading, when the commotion outside my glass door happened. I wasn't looking for a sign, which made it all the more unsettling. The Backstory To understand what I witnessed and why, I first looked inward. The message that came through was clear. “The time for struggle and indecision was over. It was time to rise above, take action, and engage.” Later, I looked up the symbolism. The woodpecker is often associated with persistence and attention to detail. Birds of prey, like hawks, represent vision, decisiveness, and the ability to see the bigger picture. Hawks are also widely seen as messengers from spirit and intuition. When these two show up together, the message becomes hard to miss. For me, this was a dramatic signal that I was entering a new phase. One of transformation and divine timing. Stop getting lost in the details. See the bigger picture. Move on. That hit home. I had been lost in the details. From a logical standpoint, I was asking all the “right” questions. Would people resonate with my work? Was I making a smart business decision? Did this align with my skills and solve real problems for clients? When Logic Is a Dead End From an intuitive perspective, the questions were different. Does this feel aligned with my highest good? Does the energy feel expansive? Does it make me happy? Logic is useful, especially in business. Lists of pros and cons have their place. But at some point, logic had taken me as far as it could. What I needed next was inner knowing. Turns out branding is more of an art than a science and it left me feeling raw and vulnerable. The key realization was there's a big difference between strategic branding and energetic alignment. Logic had led me to a dead end. Now intuition needed to take the lead. That morning, I finally listened. I made a choice that felt right in my body. And then, just hours later, the hawk and woodpecker appeared. As a sign, I will absolutely pay attention. The message was clear. Get out of my head. Stop circling the details. Focus on the big picture. Trust how things feel in my body. Then act. This is how intuition speaks to me when I stop forcing answers. Sometimes gently and other times dramatically. Either way, it gets my attention. And this is a perfect example of how magic shows up too. My advice as an Intuitive Life Coach is simple… When you see a sign, pay attention. Reflect on what it means to you, and then follow through. How Intuition Shows Up There are actually many ways intuition shows up. Some people receive visual images (clairvoyance). Others hear inner guidance (clairaudience). Some just know without explanation (claircognizance). Still others, receive information through the feelings in the body (clairsentience). These are all valid. Over time, I've learned to use and trust all of them. But connecting with my body is relatively new and it’s been fascinating. That body-based intuition showed up again recently in a much more ordinary situation. I need a new couch after my last purchase wore out shockingly fast. I visited a couple of higher-end furniture stores and found beautiful options with big price tags. Then I found a similar couch at a mid-range store for half the price. Logical choice, right? I called a friend with high-end design experience. She agreed the construction and materials were solid so thought it was OK to buy the cheaper one. I was so relieved! My Body Reacted But when I went back to return the fabric samples at the high-end store, they placed the fabric on the couch one more time. My body reacted instantly as my shoulders relaxed. I took a deep breath and felt calm and comfortable. That was my answer! Logically, the cheaper couch made sense. Intuitively, my body told a different story. I trusted it. This kind of inner knowing doesn't just apply to big decisions or purchases. It can show up in very personal, physical ways too. Another Clairsentience Example Just before the holidays, I woke up one morning with a frozen shoulder which means severe pain and almost no movement. I tried chiropractic care and acupuncture, with slight improvement. On the fifth day, I heard a single word internally: magnesium. I took supplements and then soaked in an Epsom salt bath. Within an hour, I could move my arm. Two days later, I was fully healed. Again, my body had the information. I just had to listen. And that's really the heart of this conversation. Where do you get stuck when making decisions? Have you exhausted logic and analysis? Have you ignored signs or overridden what your body was telling you? Decision Making At the end of the day, decision making isn't about finding the perfect answer. It's about being honest with yourself, especially when logic has done all it can. There are times when further analysis will not produce a result. That's when it’s time to start listening. Sometimes intuition whispers. Other times it shows up loudly like a hawk slamming into your window. When something truly feels right, your system relaxes. Your breath deepens. The struggle eases. That's how you know. This is not because it makes sense on paper, but because something inside you calms down. When that happens, the decision is already made. Your only job is to honor it. Awaken Your Sixth Sense If you want to strengthen your intuitive awareness this year, I have a self-paced program called Awaken Your Sixth Sense, designed to help you recognize and trust how intuition speaks to you. It has seven lessons with lots of methods, tips and experiences, so you can build your intuition and start to trust it more. And maybe that's the real invitation. It’s time to practice listening to your inner knowing, and trusting it. That’s how to live aligned with your highest path and your soul. The post How To Make a Good Decision Using Intuition Vs. Logic appeared first on Intuitive Edge.

The present American political moment is defined by one word: Disillusion. All over the country, ordinary people have realized that the bureaucrats, professors, and other elites who dominated their lives were never acting in good faith and declined long ago. Novelist and thinker Walter Kirn examines the great turning point in American life in the 21st century, and ponders — what's next? Trump’s 2024 win, Kirn argues, wasn’t just political, but a reckoning for every institution in American life. Watch every episode ad-free on members.charliekirk.com!

With AI poised to generate nearly infinite content, personalization, and experiences, is the single most important thing marketers should be focused on actually something that can't be automated at all? Agility requires not just adopting new technologies, but knowing when and how to double down on timeless human principles. It's about integrating the power of AI without losing the soul of the brand. Today, we're going to talk about the unexpected paradox of the AI revolution. As artificial intelligence becomes more capable of creating, personalizing, and automating customer interactions at scale, the most critical differentiator for a business isn't a better algorithm, but a stronger, more trusted brand. We'll explore why brand is becoming the essential human edge in an increasingly automated world, and how leaders can harness AI not to replace their brand, but to amplify it. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Jessica Shapiro, Chief Marketing Officer at LiveRamp.

Send us a textThe badge asks for everything, then hands you a shift change and a smile. We sat down with returning guest,  licensed clinical social worker Alexis Silva, to dig into the quiet realities behind the uniform: why trust is scarce, why stigma is sticky, and how substance use becomes a steady companion long before it becomes a crisis. Alexis works almost exclusively with first responders, military, and veterans, and brings her own sobriety and family experience to the table. That honesty opens a door many are afraid to touch—because careers are on the line, documentation feels risky, and walking into a room where you don't have to translate the language of the job can be the difference between shutting down and speaking up.We break apart common myths: not every struggle is trauma from the job; for many, it starts with childhood adversity, genetics, and family patterns. Alcohol, THC, and benzos promise relief and steal sleep, fueling irritability, poor decisions, and conflict at home. We unpack the tipping point where use shifts from choice to maintenance—when your body drives the next drink—and why matching care to risk matters. Sometimes inpatient comes first, then outpatient therapy and groups, so progress isn't crushed by daily stress. We also go beyond substances to behavioral addictions like gambling, tracing how the chase hooks into the same adrenaline circuits that make first responders so good under pressure.Across the hour, we map practical steps you can use today: how to assess risk without shame, how to reset routines every few career years, what honest partner check-ins sound like, and how peer support and culturally competent clinicians reduce fear of being “the problem” at the station. If you've wondered whether your coping is helping or hiding, this conversation offers a clear path forward—grounded, direct, and built for people who don't have time for fluff.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a teammate, and leave a quick review to help other first responders find it.

Stefan Molyneux addresses questions from his audience on epistemology and ethics, focusing on why he trusts people who've done manual labor. He explains that those experiences build a practical outlook through inductive reasoning and a respect for real-world facts. Molyneux draws a line between the "sovereignty of mind" and the "sovereignty of matter," using his own stories to show how prayer or wishing alone gets nowhere without real effort. He stresses turning vague dreams into solid plans, while calling out cultural stories that hype up ambition without any follow-through. Instead, he pushes for a realistic take on personal goals. In the end, Molyneux points out that accepting matter's primacy helps build toughness and forward movement, and he encourages people to chase their aims with steady work.SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025
