Trust is foundational in all healthy relationships. That certainly includes relationships between leaders and followers. Let's delve into strategies leaders at all levels can use to build trust.
Ever feel like you're doing everything right…and STILL not getting the results you want? I'm talkin' late nights. Early mornings. Grinding harder. Stacking to-do lists like trophies. And yet…the outcomes? Crickets. If you're anything like me — or the elite athletes and executives I help — you've been trained to fix that by doing what you've always done: Push. Even. Harder. Why? Because that's what we were taught as athletes… Perform. Produce. PROVE your worth. But what if I told you striving might be your default...but it's TRUST that gives you your real performance upgrade? The real truth: constantly grinding isn't grit — it's a coping mechanism. And all that stress you're pushing through? It's hijacking your brain, killing your clarity, and quietly sabotaging your peak state. That's why this week's 5-Minute Drill on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show is one you can't afford to miss. In this episode, you'll hear: Why working harder when you're already maxed out could be the very thing blocking your breakthrough The neuroscience behind how performance pressure hijacks your brain and kills clarity A biblical strategy to shift from striving to trusting — without sacrificing your drive How Ezekiel's obedience in a valley of dry bones reveals the secret to supernatural momentum A 3-step Drill to reset when your grind isn't producing results How grace-based effort becomes your competitive edge when rooted in trust, not hustle Key Quotes “This Drill isn't about doing nothing…it's about doing the right thing — partnering with God's power instead of forcing results in your own power.” - J.R. “Working even harder when you're already busting your tail often has diminishing returns…it often leads to worse results — because the stress in your system is hijacking your brain.” - J.R. “God's grace doesn't eliminate your discipline. It energizes it with more of HIS power.” - J.R. “Stop carrying what only God was built to hold.” - J.R. Connect with J.R.

But as Phillip Swan, co-founder of Iridius, points out—most of these flashy prototypes never make it into production. Why? Because enterprises can't afford to gamble with compliance, security, and governance.That's the problem Iridius was built to solve. In our thinkfuture conversation, Phillip explains how their platform provides a new blueprint for enterprise AI—one that bakes in compliance and scalability from the start. Instead of building “vibe code” that breaks under real-world pressure, Iridius helps companies move from concept to production-ready AI in hours or days, not months.We covered:Why most enterprise AI stays stuck in R&DHow compliance and governance can be automated without slowing innovationThe risks of unchecked AI—and the importance of human oversightHow industries and job markets will change as automation acceleratesWhy responsible AI isn't a drag on speed, but the key to scaling itPhillip also shared his perspective on the future: AI will disrupt traditional industries, but it will also create entirely new opportunities—if we approach it with foresight and responsibility.For enterprises, innovators, and anyone wondering how to deploy AI without the risks, this episode offers both caution and hope.

On the 139th episode of What is a Good Life?, I'm delighted to welcome Simon Höher—a public designer, researcher, and strategist based in Berlin. Simon works at the intersection of systems, futures, and justice, partnering with public institutions, startups, and cultural organisations to rethink how we design, govern, and live together. He is Systems Change Lead at Dark Matter Labs and currently supports the European Commission's Net Zero Cities Mission.In this conversation, we explore big questions about life, governance, and personal evolution: the nature of change, how today's decisions shape future generations, and the role of resilience and trust in navigating uncertainty. We also look at ways to move beyond the problem–solution dichotomy.This episode is an invitation to consider what more patience, deliberation, and intention might bring to your life.For more of Simon's work:Website: https://simonhoeher.com/Substack: http://simonhoeher.substack.comContact me at mark@whatisagood.life if you'd like to explore your own lines of self-inquiry through 1-on-1 coaching, my 5-week group courses, or to discuss team coaching to stimulate greater trust, communication, and connection, amongst your leadership teams.- For the What is a Good Life? podcast's YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/@whatisagoodlife/videos- My newsletter: https://www.whatisagood.life/- My LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mccartney-14b0161b4/00:00 How do we create deliberate transitions?04:30 What to do about the state of the world?08:00 Evolution and transitions12:00 Shifting from private to public interest14:30 How do we gauge impact?19:40 Questioning are we part of the problem23:50 The impact of trust & hope on resilience32:45 Trusting yourself through change37:00 We are incredibly adaptive creatures 39:30 The significance of openness42:30 The problem-solution dichotomy50:00 Minimal intervention54:00 Summary and what is a good life for Simon?
If you've ever wondered why smart, self-aware women stay in bad relationships—or why it's so hard to move on—you're going to want to listen to this one. Heather Melville (Counselor Endotype) is a toxic relationship recovery coach with the receipts: she left an abusive 8-year relationship, walked away from a successful engineering career, and now helps other women rebuild lives they actually love. In this episode, we dig into why healing after toxicity isn't about “finding the next one”—it's about reconnecting to yourself, learning to trust your intuition, and forgiving yourself for what you didn't know then. We also talk about the not-so-funny problem of being a coach with a soft brand voice that doesn't match your bold, hilarious truth. Heather now lives full-time in a converted shuttle bus with her fiancé, running workshops from the road and building a business that aligns with her real voice—one that's smart, sarcastic, and deeply committed to helping women stop fixing everyone else and finally choose themselves. Her background in engineering and lighting design makes her story even more compelling: this is a coach who rebuilt every part of her life—from the ground up. ➤ Learn more or work with Heather: https://healthyrelationships.info ➤ Follow her workshops on Eventbrite under “Healthy Relationships” ➤ Take the Endotype Quiz at https://endotype.com ➤ Book a Connection and Direction call: https://ravingcoaches.com/c&d
Sunday 7th September 2025 - West and North SitesSunday 14th September 2025 - Central AM & PMSpeaker - James RankineJames encourages us to adopt a rhythm of behaviour with habits designed - as Paul teaches us in is letter to Timothy - to "train yourselves to be godly"____________God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it. Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will. That I may be reasonably happy in this life, and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.Amen.____________1 Timothy 4 v 7-87) Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. 8) For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.____________Recorded at West Site - 07Sep2025
In this episode of Your Own Magic, I explore a feeling so many of us carry quietly: the pressure of being “behind.” Behind on career, on love, on milestones that the world tells us should have happened by now.Together, we'll unravel the myth of the linear timeline and redefine what success and milestones really mean. From celebrating the quiet achievements that rarely get applause, to noticing the sacred timing that doesn't match anyone else's calendar, this conversation is a reminder that you are not late... you are right on time for you.And because I always love a cosmic touch, I close with reflections on the moon as a mirror for our lives. Just like her phases (new, waxing, full, waning) our own cycles of rest and growth are equally valid, equally necessary.If you've ever felt like you're “off schedule,” this is your invitation to breathe, soften, and trust the rhythm of your own becoming.✨RAQUELLE + YOMyourownmagic.comig @raquellemantrafb group your own magicSPONSORS' SPECIAL OFFERS hereSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/your-own-magic/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
Consider today a masterclass on biohacking for a woman. For so long the biohacking space or other word known as health optimization has been based on men's studies and data. Although thankfully it's coming to the surface that women aren't biochemically the same as men and we need to address things differently, especially in our reproductive years. My guest today has been in this space since the early days of biohacking and since then has not only learned how women need to approach things differently, but also has trained thousands of other women to do the same. Kristin Weitzel is a health and high performance maven, with expertise across a broad range of health topics and Founder or WELLPOWER, SHERPA Breath & Cold. She is a biohacking proponent, certified fitness trainer, podcast host, breathwork guide, ice bath instructor, and nutritionist with a focus on guiding people to optimal health. During her 15 years as a brand strategist and global marketer for Fortune 500 brands, Kristin sought opportunities to work with some of the top minds and mentors across the wellness world. She applied these learnings to her own weight management, energy, and lifestyle challenges, and continues to research and share them with her audience. She ultimately left behind her successful corporate career to pursue her peak expression: Leading others to break out of their comfort zones and rise into optimal wellbeing. In this episode we talk about: The Difference in a women's approach in biohacking Fasting for women Why we need to eat more protein Common problems women are having and why Cycle syncing and fitness Cold exposure and breath Trusting your intuition How to Optimize your sleep and more… For full show notes and episode resources head to: https://ericalippy.com/kristin-weitzel/ Watch episode on YouTube Episode mentions: BIOptimzers Magnesium Breakthrough : Discount code: ERICAL Function Health Get immediate access and $100 off: Code ELIPPYNELSON10 Find our guest at: Kristin Weitzel: Website, Instagram Wellpower podcast Coaching with Kristin Follow me on Social Media: Your Host: @ericalippy Podcast: @passionlovepursuit YouTube PASSION LOVE PURSUIT PODCASTS: https://ericalippy.com/the-podcast/
In this episode, Kehla sits down with Dr. Karen Curry Parker for a powerful conversation on moving beyond the rigidity of “just follow strategy & authority.” Together, they explore the collective overwhelm so many are experiencing, why entrepreneurs feel frozen in uncertainty, and how Human Design offers a prescription for rebuilding self-trust. Karen shares how the body is mapped through the Human Design chart—linking gates and centers to specific somatic signals, including Gate 26's connection with trauma—and why strategy & authority are meant as tools for reconnection, not lifelong rules. The two also unpack radical self-responsibility, the pitfalls of labels, and the freedom that comes when decisions are made from an embodied place of choice and sovereignty. ✨ Listeners Will Learn:
Doubting yourself can drain more energy than the actual work in front of you. Second guessing every choice, replaying what you said, and analyzing whether it was right or wrong is exhausting. The more time you spend in your head, the less time you spend moving forward. Self-trust is not something you're either born with or without. It's something you build through practice, reflection, and action. And if you've been in a pattern of overthinking, the good news is you can shift it.

Who we surround ourselves with has the power to influence our faith — not just in theory, but in how we live it out daily. In this episode, we unpack what it means to see grace modeled in community, to be stretched in our thoughts, beliefs, and lifestyle, and to grow through trust.We ask: What does it really mean to be equipped as a believer? How do we continue to pour out without running dry — and where do Sabbath rest and hardship fit into that journey?We explore three key areas of trust:— Trusting in God's grace— Trusting that His grace will meet us as we step out— Trusting the grace God has given others — even when it feels vulnerableIf you've ever sensed a unique grace on your life and wondered what it looks like to develop and walk it out intentionally, this conversation is for you.
For the British artist Holly Stevenson clay, memory and psychoanalysis intertwine in hauntingly playful sculptures. This conversation traces Holly's extraordinary journey—from her Russian grandmother's concentration camp survival and the inspiration a Chilean refugee provided, to set design in Rome and motherhood, all the way to her groundbreaking residency at the Freud Museum. Discover how Holly's fiercely independent spirit, and fascination with what hides in plain sight have shaped her visceral, intimate works. KEY TAKEAWAYS Holly´s work is heavily influenced by psychoanalysis, both in subject matter and in approach. Holly finds beauty and meaning in everyday materials like clay, wood, paper, and even bed sheets. The creative path is rarely linear, but it can be deeply coherent if we learn to trust our instincts and follow the thread of our own obsessions. BEST MOMENTS “Holly makes the invisible visible - emotionally, materially and economically.” “I wanted to see something or hear something affirmative. But it's not about that, is it? It's about process. It's about accumulation. It's about one mark plus one mark, plus three marks plus 5000 marks, makes a drawing.” “Clay, like life, demands presence and patience. It cracks, resists, warps and still invites you back.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.holly-stevenson.co.uk https://www.instagram.com/holly__stevenson PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

What if your hardest challenges aren't obstacles, but sacred initiations preparing you for what you've asked for?In this solo episode of Spiritual Changemakers, I share my personal story of moving through deep transition, grief, and uncertainty — and how choosing trust and surrender has opened me to more freedom and alignment.Together we explore:Seeing challenges as sacred initiations.Trusting the unknown when you don't have all the answers.The importance of honoring seasons of rest and creation.How to own your past choices without shame.The magic and freedom that come when you surrender control.This episode is a transmission of courage, softness, and soul — a reminder that you already hold the wisdom to walk your path with trust.
We continue our Trusting the Covenant series with a sermon entitled “Invited to Heal and Hope.” In Isaiah 55 and Isaiah 40, God speaks tenderly to a people who are weary, wounded, and worn out—people not unlike us.
Paul shares how Barnabas encouraged through giving, building, and trusting.
Nicholas Triolo is a writer, endurance athlete, and educator whose life and work sit at the crossroads of ecology, activism, and storytelling. For years, he's been exploring what happens when we stop charging toward the summit and start paying attention to the circuitous paths that wind around it. His new book, "The Way Around: A Field Guide to Going Nowhere," is the culmination of that exploration — a lyrical, wide-ranging meditation on movement, place, and the art of staying present. In the book, Nick traces a series of pilgrimages: circling a sacred mountain in Tibet, exploring a culturally significant northern California hiking tradition, and walking the rim of one of Montana's most infamous superfund sites. Each journey reveals something deeper — about endurance and restraint, about intimacy with landscapes and with ourselves, and about the courage to face environmental and cultural shadows without turning away. The book weaves together memoir, travel writing, and ecological inquiry, and in doing so, it asks us to reconsider how we measure meaning: not by miles logged or summits bagged, but by the depth of our attention and the generosity of our presence. In this conversation, Nick and I dig into the ideas behind the book — the practice of circumambulation, the pitfalls of “summit fever,” and the possibility of finding beauty even in places scarred by extraction. We also talk about the creative process: how to find your authentic voice in a world full of (good and bad) influences, how to write with both intimacy and respect, and how stories can become tools for resilience and re-enchantment. If you've ever sensed that the most interesting part of a long run, a wilderness trip, or a creative endeavor is what happens beneath the surface, this is a conversation for you. Nick has a gift for showing us how going “nowhere” can sometimes bring us closer to where we most need to be. Check out the episode notes for links to everything.

Do you ever struggle with FOMO—the fear of missing out? In this devotional, Hannah Benson reflects on Psalm 16:6 and reminds us that God has set boundaries for our lives with purpose and intention. While it’s tempting to compare our blessings with others, God calls us to trust His unique plan and timing. Instead of chasing every opportunity or envying someone else’s path, we can rest in the truth that we will never miss out on what God has for us when we walk in His will. ✨ Highlights How Psalm 16:6 teaches us to embrace the “pleasant places” God has chosen for us Why comparison and jealousy steal joy and distract us from God’s plan Trusting that God’s timing and blessings are uniquely tailored for your life A reminder to celebrate answered prayers instead of chasing what’s next Encouragement to surrender control and find contentment where God has placed you
Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom Session: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ticket Subscribe to the podcast: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/subscribe Podcast show notes, links and transcript: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ This episode, I'm joined by Dr Jan Eppingstall to talk about why so many of us who hoard struggle to trust our future selves to cope without keeping everything “just in case.” We get into how doubts about our own resourcefulness and fears about scarcity keep us stuck, and share practical ways to build confidence in our ability to handle whatever comes next. If you've ever worried you won't manage without every single spare part or backup item, this conversation's for you. Trusting Our Future Selves to Be Resourceful The psychological struggle of believing in one's ability to cope without keeping everything Personal anecdotes from the host about surprise resourcefulness Exploration of cognitive distortions surrounding trust in future adaptability Resourcefulness in Hoarding Behaviour Contradiction: Resourceful justifications for keeping items vs. fear of not being resourceful if they're discarded The role of loss aversion and catastrophic scarcity thinking Imagining multiple uses for broken items versus inability to visualise coping without them The ‘Just in Case' Myth Reading and analysis of Ru Kotryna's Instagram post on ‘just in case' keeping Discussion of how this reflects distrust in future self Emotional impacts: fear of change, sufficiency, and facing the future without backup How Distrust in Future Selves Manifests in Hoarding ‘Insurance hoarding' and duplicate/back-up keeping Information hoarding for fear of forgetting needed details Emotional insecurity and sense of powerlessness Host's personal examples (nature as a self-soothing tool and fear of its impermanence) Navigating Ephemerality and Change Conversation about the fleeting nature of things and the difficulty in accepting impermanence Reflection on attempts to freeze time by hoarding Behaviours and Thoughts Stemming from Lack of Self-Trust Executive function issues (planning, organisation, working memory) Trauma and past experiences of genuine scarcity Shame and immediate anxiety-reduction through keeping Avoidance and ‘comfort objects' as safety strategies Psychological Mechanisms Behind ‘I Don't Trust Future Me' Discontinuity between current and future self Impact of ADHD and perimenopause on executive functioning and time perception Cognitive gaps between imagining needs and recalling/locating stored things Irony of ‘preparedness' leading to greater unpreparedness Building Trust in Future Resourcefulness The value of journalling resourceful moments Small experiments: let go of duplicates and record how needs are met afterward Reviewing past examples of having coped or improvised successfully Consumerism and the Illusion of Solutions Attraction to gadgets and solutions for perceived problems The sunk cost fallacy and struggles to let go Owning up to aspirational or impulse purchases and being flexible in letting go if they don't work Scarcity Thinking and Its Long-Term Effects Personal stories of genuine scarcity and the enduring fear it creates How fear of not having enough directs attention to objects as solutions, rather than inner resourcefulness Difficulty breaking the object-focused habit even after circumstances change Breaking the Pattern: Psychological Approaches in Therapy Building evidence of existing skills and resourcefulness Addressing deeper self-worth issues and messages from childhood The importance of social connections, seeking help, and curiosity The Power and Pitfall of Backup Systems Possessions as emotional and practical backup Drawback: Items often become inaccessible or forgotten The paradox of keeping as “preparation” that often fails in practice due to volume and executive dysfunction Strengthening Connection with Future Self Using ACT techniques and self-compassion Treating your future self like a friend and planning for their needs Internal monologues about preparing spaces and making life easier for future-you Alternative Pathways to Security and Preparedness Community and social resource sharing (borrowing, lending among friends/family) Developing adaptability, self-confidence, and skills rather than accumulating more items Experimenting with minimalism and embracing uncertainty Actionable Steps for Building Trust in Resourcefulness Saying “I'll figure it out when I need to” Experimenting with running out of non-critical supplies Documenting and reflecting on resourceful problem-solving Letting go of low-risk items and noticing outcomes The reminder that listeners have survived all past problems resourcefully Encouragement to recognise and trust personal growth and capabilities Emphasis on learning, adaptability, and present-focused living Links The Ru Kotryna Instagram post that inspired this episode Podcast ep 183: ADHD, executive dysfunction and creating hacks and systems to reduce clutter chaos, with Carrie Lagerstedt Come to

Thursday September04Todaywe will continue to look at Ephesians 1:13-14. We are talking about the God theHoly Spirit and the blessings that He gives us. We've talked about God theFather and His blessings from eternity past in the first verses (vs. 2-6). Inverses 7-12, we see the past history of Jesus Christ, His death, burial,resurrection, and the blessings that we have in Christ. Now, in verse 13-14, wenot only find out about the blessings of the Holy Spirit we have in “thepresent”, but we find out exactly how we can be saved. We hear “the word oftruth”, which is “the gospel of our salvation”, then we “believe”and put our “trust” totally in Jesus Christ, and we then experience thesealing of the Holy Spirit. Romans10:13-15 makes this really clear: “For "whoever calls on the name ofthe LORD shall be saved." How then shall they call on Him in whom theyhave not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have notheard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preachunless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet ofthose who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of goodthings!". These are powerful verses. Paulpoints out here in Ephesians 1:13, “in whom you also trusted”. Ofcourse, the “whom” is Jesus Christ that you trusted. You not only needto hear about Christ and have an intellectual understanding that He is the Sonof God, and believe that He is who He said He is, and that He is not just ahistorical figure, but you believe that He came to save us and set us free fromour sins. And you believe not just with your head, but with your heart. Thisdoesn't mean you just actually intellectually ascent to the fact He died andwas buried and rose again the third day. But that you trusted in Him for youreternal salvation. You realized there was no other way of salvation. There wasno hope for you, no future for you, no eternity for you. And you believed and trustedin Him, just like Paul on the road to Damascus trusted in Him and his lifetotally and completely changed. Myfriend, when you sincerely, honestly, and genuinely trust in Christ, you know itbecause something takes place in your life, a miracle takes place. You become anew creation. “Old things pass away, and all things become new” (2Corinthians 5:17). Only the gospel makes this possible as Paul points out herein this verse. “After you heard the word of truth, the gospel of salvation,in whom also having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise”. Now,that's powerful because the very moment, and I mean, the very moment that youtrusted in Christ and you called on His name, as Romans 10:13 says here, thatvery moment you experienced eternal salvation, not only did Christ came to livein you, but you were baptized into the body of Christ (Romans 6:3), and yourbody also became the temple of the Holy Spirit. Read this in 1 Corinthians6:19-20: “Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spiritwho is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you werebought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, whichare God's.” Whenthe Holy Spirit came in you, Ephesians 1:13 tells us something else takes place:"Having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit ofpromise." Tomorrow, we are going to be talking about what that means, “beingsealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.” The Holy Spirit guarantees our eternalsalvation. He's the guarantee. And we'll look at what that means tomorrow. Myfriend, our salvation is such a fantastic, powerful, miraculous, mysteriousexperience. And it's for anyone and everyone who calls on His name. God wantsyou to be saved because He is “not willing that any should perish, but thatall should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). Today,have you ever really believed and put your trust in Jesus alone? Godbless!

We often speak of surrender as a spiritual goal, but what if our bodies are still holding the opposite story? What if the part of us that's trying to let go is still entangled in old patterns of control, responsibility, and over-care? Cheryl is here with us today. She's been doing deep inner work for years: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. And yet, she finds herself in a familiar energetic loop, especially around her son. She's longing to surrender more fully to the divine flow of life, but something in her body is still holding on. As we drop into her field, we discover how early-life patterns of caretaking and codependency created a dynamic where control became a substitute for power, and how those old survival strategies are still shaping her present. In this episode, we explore how energetic imprints from childhood shape our adult experience, how the lower chakras hold the key to true empowerment, and how healing requires us to come back into the body; not just the mind or spirit. If you've been asking how to trust more deeply, stop fixing others, and live from your own grounded presence, I hope this episode supports you in finding your own path back to inner power.

WRITER, MYSTIC, CREATIVE, SPIRITUAL MENTOR Throughout my life I have been guided by the warrioress archetype, an independent female spirit whose primary purpose is to achieve freedom and sovereignty of her life. This was not always a conscious endeavor for me, yet she pulled at my heart and led me on adventures far and wide and wild. She has taught me to live by spirals and wheels and cycles. To live each day as a ritual, knowing that I am the source of my life. Everything comes FROM me and that my obstacles are actually the path to living an even greater and wilder existence. She has shown me that true LEADERS rally for and with life, not against it. So, now I live in devotion to a higher standard of ALIVENESS for us all.

Fifteen years ago, I was in crisis. My marriage was ending, my health was unraveling, and my corporate career felt like a soul-deadening trap. From the outside though, my life looked fine—but inside, I knew something was deeply missing. Everything changed the moment a coach asked me one simple question that shook my entire world. In this week's solo episode, I share the exact question, the before-and-after of my transformation, and how the power of coaching can shift your entire life. That question cracked open the doorway to my Higher Self and set me on a path I never could have imagined—becoming a coach myself, teaching at Georgetown University, and helping hundreds step into their soul's deepest calling. If your soul is whispering that it's time for something more, maybe this is your sign. I also share about Cohort (lucky) 13 of the Intuitive Life Designer® Coach Academy—a certification program that is so much more than training. It's a portal into your highest self, your intuition, and your purpose,✨ May you always have the courage to follow your innermost divine guidance — wherever it leads. Takeaways The question that changed my life was pivotal. Living a life that's just 'fine' is not enough. Abundance comes in many forms, not just financial. A spiritually transformative experience can shift your perspective. You can't unknow what you know about your life. The power of questions can lead to profound insights. Trusting your intuition is essential for personal growth. Embracing change can lead to new beginnings. Appreciation can transform your current situation. Your higher self guides you towards your true path.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:Hey friend—tell me if this sounds familiar: you're showing up, doing all the things, checking the boxes, putting in the work… and yet it feels like nothing's changing. You start to wonder, “Am I even moving forward, or am I just running in circles?”I've been there, and I know how discouraging that can feel. But let me pour into you with this truth: you are not stuck, you are not behind, and you are absolutely not wasting your effort. Progress isn't always obvious—it's often invisible at first, happening beneath the surface like roots digging deep before a flower blooms. That's where confidence, empowerment, and transformation are built—in the quiet, hidden layers of personal growth and self-discovery.In this episode of Confident & Empowered – The Encourage Over Everything Show, we're unpacking how to recognize the invisible signs of growth, release the “should's” that keep you stuck, and embody your main character's energy even when the results aren't showing up yet. This is your reminder that every step, every choice, every drop of effort counts. You're not just trying—you're transforming. And friend, you are so much closer than you think.KEY TAKEAWAYS:Confidence isn't a vibe, it's a decision.You become confident by embodying it right now.Progress doesn't always clap its hands and announce itself.Your progress is already in motion.Growth is messy. It's non-linear.You are not stuck, you are steady.What if you're not behind at all?This detour, this delay, it's by divine design.You are closer than you think.Just because you can't see it doesn't mean you are not blooming.CHAPTERS:00:00 The Illusion of Stagnation03:36 Understanding Invisible Progress05:21 Spotting Hidden Shifts in Mindset05:53 The Non-Linear Nature of Growth08:01 Personal Stories of Growth and Transformation11:32 Reframing Expectations and Trusting the Process13:43 Celebrating Small Wins and Consistency17:23 Embracing the Journey and Trusting the Reroute19:42 Empowerment Through Sharing and ConnectionTHE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP:When progress feels invisible, this simple practice will remind you you're moving forward:Step 1: Spot Your Shift Ask: “What's one way I've grown in the last 6 months?” Maybe it's stronger boundaries, bouncing back faster, or simply not giving up. That's growth.Step 2: Celebrate Your Consistency Celebrate showing up—because the fact that you're still here, still trying, still moving? That's proof you're unstoppable.

Are you clearing every obstacle out of your child's way? In this episode, Kyle and Sara Wester unpack snow plow parenting—why it happens, how it holds kids back, and what to do instead. Snow plow parenting is when parents try to remove every challenge or discomfort from their child's path. While it often comes from love and fear, this approach can unintentionally rob kids of the resilience, confidence, and problem-solving skills they need to thrive. Kyle and Sara share why parents fall into this trap, the long-term costs to children, and how to shift toward a healthier approach. You'll learn practical strategies for recognizing when you're “snow plowing,” scaffolding instead of rescuing, and coaching kids through life's challenges while still offering the support they need. Key Takeaways: Snow plow parenting means clearing obstacles to prevent failure or discomfort.While motivated by love, it can lead to anxiety and low confidence in kids.Children miss opportunities to build resilience and emotional intelligence when parents over-intervene.Recognizing when you're snow plowing is the first step to change.Coaching and scaffolding help children learn to solve problems at their own pace.Allowing small struggles is essential for long-term growth.Validating feelings—without rushing to fix—is a powerful parenting tool.Trusting children to handle challenges builds their confidence and independence.
