Have you ever stayed quiet when something hurt you, only to feel the resentment build inside?Or maybe you've wondered if speaking up would cause more harm than good… so you swallowed your truth instead.In this episode, I share a real story about making plans with a friend, how silence created assumptions and hurt feelings—and how choosing to gently speak up shifted everything. This isn't about confrontation. It's about clarity. Because when we stay silent, we collect resentments. But when we share honestly and with love, relationships deepen and heal.If you've ever felt ghosted, overlooked, or afraid to voice your needs, this episode is your reminder: the people who love you can't read your mind, but they do want to understand you. Speaking your truth is not a risk—it's an act of love, both for yourself and for them.For more on building stronger connections, you might also enjoy:• 139: The Three Foundational Pillars For Making Any Relationship Last - ⁠https://youtu.be/EI72fbK6yuw

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with psychic medium and energy healer Shari Leigh Roberts about the transformative journey from trauma to empowerment. Shari shares how acknowledging victimhood is the first step toward reclaiming your power, and how trauma manifests not just in the mind, but in the body and energy field. Together, they explore the importance of facing pain instead of bypassing it, connecting with our spirit teams, and moving beyond survival into true healing. This conversation is raw, authentic, and filled with insights for anyone seeking to turn pain into purpose. About the Guest   Shari Leigh Roberts is a psychic medium and energy healer who guides people to heal trauma, reclaim power, and live with spiritual alignment. Drawing from her own lived experiences, Shari helps clients connect with their intuitive abilities and spirit teams to move beyond trauma and step into their true purpose. Learn more about her work at sharileighroberts.com. Key Takeaways   Acknowledging victimhood is the foundation for stepping into empowerment. Healing is not linear—blocks and resistance are part of the journey. Trauma often manifests physically (headaches, chronic illness) and energetically. Working with your spirit team helps you realize you are never truly alone. True healing is both a personal choice and a process of spiritual alignment. Transformation is possible when you embrace both the pain and the purpose behind it.   Connect with the Guest   Website: https://shariroberts.org Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?   DM on PodMatch – Send me a message here: PodMatch Host Profile Disclaimer   This video is for educational and informational purposes only.

In this episode of the Power Producers Podcast, host David Carothers and co-host Kyle Houck are joined by Valkyrie Holmes, the CEO and co-founder of FAURA, for a look into the future of risk assessment. Valkyrie explains how her background in data science at NASA and SpaceX led to the creation of FAURA, a platform that quantifies a property's ability to withstand natural disasters, a concept she calls property survivability. They discuss how this technology equips agents with the tools to explain risk, justify pricing in a hard market, and offer clients actionable steps for mitigation. The conversation covers the agent education gap, building codes as "minimum wage," and how granular, property-level data is changing the insurance landscape. Key Highlights: Introducing FAURA: Quantifying Property Survivability Valkyrie Holmes details how FAURA uses hundreds of data points to generate a simple 0-100 survivability score, moving beyond general climate risk to assess how a specific property will fare in a disaster. This provides a clear, understandable metric for agents and policyholders, empowering them with the principle that "if you can't explain the risk, you can't justify the price." Arming Agents in a Hard Market The conversation addresses the agent education gap. In a market where agents struggle to explain rate increases, FAURA provides property-specific data that acts as "weaponry," allowing them to have informed conversations about risk factors and justify pricing, ultimately helping them retain clients by offering proactive solutions instead of just bad news. From Assessment to Actionable Mitigation FAURA's platform is more than just a score; it's a solution. After an initial assessment, a digital inspection generates a detailed report with a prioritized list of mitigation actions. It then connects users with vetted local contractors, turning a complex problem into a manageable and actionable plan for homeowners. The Science of Wildfire & Hail Resilience The discussion dives into specific perils, revealing that simple, low-cost actions can dramatically increase a property's chance of survival. Valkyrie shares examples, such as ember-resistant screens for wildfire defense, showing how data-driven insights can lead to effective and accessible mitigation strategies that agents can share with their clients.

Become a Relative & send some loveThe journey of self-discovery takes unexpected turns when we're truly paying attention. After a three-month hiatus, Antoine returns with renewed purpose and perspective, sharing the transformative experiences that have shaped his recent months.From the competitive fields of Little League softball to the therapeutic shores of Jamaica, Antoine reveals how coaching has become his unexpected calling. Leading the Mamie Johnson Little League team to back-to-back DC championships and competing in the Regional World Series in Connecticut, he's discovered profound fulfillment in mentoring young athletes. The pride in watching his players make ESPN highlights mingles with the coach's determination to elevate their fundamentals and conditioning for future success.His first genuine international vacation to Jamaica offered both paradise and predicament – from grounding morning rituals on pristine beaches to an unexpected overnight stranding at the airport when standby flights fell through. The contrast between resort luxury and airport survival mode delivered unexpected wisdom that only travel can provide.As Antoine approaches his 40th birthday, he reflects on four decades of growth with remarkable clarity. His 30s proved most challenging but most formative, teaching him to value authentic relationships, pursue personal evolution, and redefine success on his own terms.

Some hauntings don't just cling to houses—they linger in the places people loved most. This is the terrifying and unforgettable story of a haunted bar in Leesville, Louisiana, where a ghost refused to leave the job she once dedicated her life to. Back in the 1970s, a young worker was hired to help renovate a run-down brick building that had once been a lively bar and disco. Its massive wooden bar had been hauled all the way from Bourbon Street in New Orleans, but the glamour was long gone. Rats ran across the shelves, drunks swore they saw things no one else could, and the air itself carried a strange energy. One night around 3:30 a.m., while painting the ceiling alone, the worker felt the unmistakable sensation of being watched. Turning his head, he saw an elderly woman in glasses, a green hat, and an old coat with a brooch. She smiled but said nothing. When he climbed down to approach her, she simply vanished. The haunting stopped after the renovations, as if the spirit had been released, proud to see the bar brought back to life. For 17 years, it remained the most popular bar in town. This is the story of the smiling woman in the green hat, the bar she refused to leave, and the proof that sometimes the dead still clock in for work. #HauntedBar #LouisianaGhostStory #LeesvilleHaunting #TrueGhostStory #HauntedPlaces #RealGhostStoriesOnline #GhostEncounter #BourbonStreetHaunting #SpiritSighting #ParanormalEncounter Love real ghost stories?

Behavioral finance is often viewed as abstract but it can be a powerful, practical tool for helping clients make better decisions and build lives that align with what matters most. This episode explores how applying behavioral insights and positive psychology can deepen client relationships and drive more meaningful planning conversations. Dr. Daniel Crosby is the Chief Behavioral Officer at Orion, a technology platform serving financial advisors. Listen in as Daniel shares how he's turned complex behavioral concepts into usable advisor tools, including a “money personality” framework and a flourishing goals assessment. We talk about why understanding where clients fall on five key money dimensions - like communication style or spending vs. saving - can help reduce judgment and improve client outcomes, and how identifying gaps between what clients value and how they feel they're doing in life can spark more relevant financial goals. Daniel also reflects on why advisors must examine their own money beliefs and blind spots, and how practicing nonjudgmental listening may be the most powerful behavioral tool of all.

In this episode, Wes Read, CPA and financial advisor, highlights a common mistake among dental practice owners: treating financial planning as a one-time task instead of an ongoing cycle. Just like dental hygiene requires regular checkups, financial hygiene needs consistent monitoring, updating, and adjustment.Wes explains the fourth phase of financial planning: Implement → Monitor → Revise → Repeat. Following a structured rhythm ensures clarity, accountability, and faster progress toward financial independence.Seven Key Activities for Dental Practice Owners:Review monthly financial statements (profit & loss, balance sheet, cash flow).Update long-term personal financial plan annually (ideally in January).Revisit personal spending plan annually to track expenses accurately.Complete tax projections twice yearly (June and October/November).Update family payroll annually in January to optimize taxes and 401(k) contributions.Adjust doctor payroll three times yearly (January, June, October) for taxes and retirement.Complete cash flow forecasts and allocate surplus capital in June and October.Wes notes that traditional CPAs often focus on historical data and compliance, while dental-specific financial advisors help align practice cash flow with personal financial goals, creating real traction toward wealth.Key Takeaways:Financial planning is an ongoing cycle, not a one-time event.Monthly reviews and annual updates keep you proactive.Semi-annual tax and cash flow planning prevent surprises.Working with a dental-specific advisor accelerates wealth building.Consistency compounds into financial freedom and lifestyle flexibility.Resources Mentioned:Financial Activity Cadence

Turning 18 puts a person through changes. For example, Pacey's decided HIS 18th birthday should be at a completely different time of year than his 16th. But never mind! He complains to Joey that his birthday is cursed, so all he wants to do this year is chill out at home with her, and she promises they will, and we all know that means she's implicated in his surprise party. The event -- to be held at the Witter family home -- coincides with what was to have been Gretchen and Dawson's first date, and Gretchen may be a little too eager to bag that plan in favor of her family obligation; she also makes it clear that although she's bringing him to the party, she doesn't want Joey or Pacey or anyone in her family to know she and Dawson are dating, if they even are, which Dawson obviously takes as a slight. While the birthday boy doesn't die of an accidental gunshot as happened at Scott Scanlon's birthday party, this one is...almost as bad. And Joey doesn't help by trying to ignore Pacey's dark mood and unhelpfully suggesting that he just try harder to get along with his awful parents. (By the way, playing his awful mother: Jane Lynch!) Elsewhere, Jen satisfies her last five community service hours giving safe rides to drunk teenagers, and you'll never guess what civic-minded homosexual also happens to volunteer with the organization: Tobey! Jen uses the occasion to talk up Jack, while Tobey tells her all about his hopelessly devoted James Dean-alike boyfriend Greg; calling him "perfect" not once but twice juuuuuuust might be a tell.
