Send us a textThe wounds of emotional abuse aren't always visible. Survivors often carry scars that the outside world can't see—feelings of isolation, anxiety, self-doubt, and the deep loss of identity. These are the hidden costs of emotional abuse, and they are just as damaging as physical violence.In this final episode of the Domestic Violence Awareness Month series, Allison K. Dagney—survivor, author, and subconscious reprogramming expert—shines a light on the long-term impacts of abuse that often go unnoticed.You'll learn:How isolation keeps survivors trapped and silentWhy the silent treatment and stonewalling leave lasting emotional woundsHow projection and blame-shifting destroy self-trustThe toll abuse takes on your mental health and nervous systemSteps to begin reclaiming your sense of self and reconnecting with your worthThis conversation will help you understand the invisible aftermath of emotional abuse, validate what you've been through, and remind you: you are not broken—you were abused.

Send us a textThe outer world keeps changing—new cities, new housemates, even a pile of clutter beside your pillow—and yet peace remains available in every breath. In this Wisdom Dialogues episode, we step into a Sedona season of daily practice and non-dual exploration, where spiritual concepts are tested in real-life scenarios: sleeping next to a messy workspace, navigating old food beliefs, feeling heartbreak ripple through the nervous system, and living alongside a neighbor convinced he's fighting demons.The invitation is simple and radical: nothing outside you is the cause of anything. Thoughts that disturb peace are the only obstacles—and they dissolve through awareness, humor, and a willingness to feel.Over seven weeks of transformational bridging, we explore:Taking life less personallyWatching lack evaporate and abundance reveal itselfMoving from “dry and frugal” conditioning into a juicy embrace of presenceHealth as devotion to awareness—not rulesHigh-fat foods, fascia release, and compression as tools, not idolsReleasing the pride–shame loop in favor of gentleness and receptivityWe reframe agreements, calendars, and productivity as peripherals already handled when we listen to Spirit. Even heartbreak and demon narratives get rewritten. Fear is projection. Love is the ground.Food becomes a playful practice—not moral, not controlled—just guided by peace in the moment. Coffee headaches, fried snacks, and anti-aging lasers reveal how the mind gives power to belief. Withdraw the belief, return causality to mind, and joy returns to the simplest bite.We also explore key ACIM principles, including:“You need do nothing” as an active state of trustThe integrity of Spirit guiding relationshipsHow joining in love shifts the entire perceptual fieldCome for Sedona stories. Stay for a living method: ✨ Bless the perception ✨ Deny the lie ✨ Let peace choose your next stepIf this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who could use some ease, and leave a review to help others find their way back to joy.Support the show

In today's episode, we unpack the loaded topic of “trigger foods” and how to navigate permission-based eating without shame or guilt. We explore what true moderation looks like, why portion sizes aren't one-size-fits-all, and how your environment and mindset shape your relationship with food more than the food itself.We share our own personal journeys of once feeling out of control around certain foods, and how granting ourselves permission to include those foods, intentionally and mindfully, led to more peace, less overeating, and lasting change.We dive into the psychology of overconsumption, the role of boundaries without extremes, and how planning and practice lead to lasting food freedom.

Curious about the hidden dangers of relying too heavily on AI in your law firm?Brian Glass, author of Renegade Lawyer Marketing, discusses the risks of overreliance on AI in law firms and why human relationships continue to be the primary driver of profit.Brian believes a law firm should be more than a place that handles claims. It should be a business where people thrive. For his team, that means setting ambitious one-year and ten-year goals, receiving coaching to achieve them, and living exciting, fulfilling lives outside the office. For clients, it means best-in-class service, meticulous attention to detail, and over 260 five-star Google reviews to prove it.This approach yields two powerful results: increased referrals from former clients, lawyers, and medical providers, and a firm culture driven by individuals pursuing ambitious goals. As Brian puts it, when your team thrives, your clients win, and so do you.What You'll Learn:Why AI lead gen ads are destroying client trustThe one non-digital ad that brought in massive ROIHow lawyers are misusing ChatGPT (and getting sanctioned for it)Why your best clients are "lurkers" who consume 10+ hours of contentWhat Brian did to get 25 new clients from 15 lunches and mailersFollow Brian & Great Legal Marketing:Website - https://www.greatlegalmarketing.com/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/fairfaxpersonalinjury/Get GLM Journal here - https://www.greatlegalmarketing.com/glm-journal-special-offerResources:Connect with IanDownload a Tackle Box!Supercharge your marketing and grow your business with video case stories today!Book a Discovery Call Today with Our ExpertsSubscribe to the YouTube Channel Hosted on Acast.

Wait And See #RTTBROS #Nightlight Wait and See "God is at work in this. I need to wait and see what He does."These profound words from my Father-In-Law, Jesse Dunn, a nearly 90-year-old saint carry the weight of deep spiritual wisdom. In our instant gratification world, this experienced believer has discovered a truth many struggle to embrace: God's apparent silence is not His absence, but His active presence working in ways we cannot yet see.The Wrestling of Unanswered PrayerHow often do we echo the psalmist's cry: "How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever?" (Psalm 13:1). We pour out our hearts in prayer, expecting swift answers, only to be met with what feels like heavenly silence. Our natural response is frustration or doubt.But my wise father in law has learned what many never discover: unanswered prayer is not unheard prayer. Every sincere petition reaches the throne of grace, and our sovereign God responds according to His perfect will and timing, not ours.Divine Timing and TrustThe prophet Isaiah reminds us: "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord" (Isaiah 55:8). God operates from an eternal perspective while we see only the present moment. What appears as delay may actually be divine preparation.Consider Lazarus. When Jesus received word that His friend was ill, "he abode two days still in the same place" (John 11:6). Mary and Martha wondered why their urgent message seemed ignored. Yet Jesus had a greater purpose not merely to heal sickness, but to demonstrate His power over death itself.Expectant WaitingThere's a profound difference between passive resignation and active, expectant waiting. Jesse's words reveal not defeat, but faith filled anticipation. He has learned to say with the psalmist: "Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart" (Psalm 27:14).This waiting acknowledges that our loving Father is always at work, even when we cannot trace His hand. It trusts that He "worketh all things after the counsel of his own will" (Ephesians 1:11) with purposes that transcend our understanding.The Wisdom of AgeThere's something beautiful about hearing such words from someone who has lived nearly a century. This man has witnessed world wars, upheavals, and countless trials. Through it all, he has learned that God's track record is perfect, even when His methods are mysterious. His patient faith comes not from naivety, but from a lifetime of seeing God work in unexpected ways and perfect timing.Living in the MeanwhileToday, as you bring your requests before God, remember this godly patriarch's wisdom. When the heavens seem silent and your prayers appear unanswered, choose to declare: "God is at work in this. I need to wait and see what He does."Let your heart find rest knowing that "the Lord will perfect that which concerneth me" (Psalm 138:8). Trust that the God who numbers your hairs is intimately aware of your situation and working with perfect wisdom on your behalf.In the waiting, worship. In the silence, trust. In the mystery, marvel. For our God is always at work, and His timing is always perfect."Be still, and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10).Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros

That quiet mental tally you keep? The one that says, “I've done bedtime three nights in a row” or “I handled the birthday party and the laundry and the grocery run”… that's called scorekeeping.
