In this episode, I chat with Jason Leibowitz, Head of Strategy at Meanwhile, about a game-changing financial product that blends Bitcoin with the powerful concept of infinite banking.Jason takes us on a journey through how Bitcoin-denominated whole life insurance works—and why it might be the smartest way for Bitcoiners to unlock liquidity, plan for the future, and ensure their wealth outlives them. He also breaks down the mechanics of policy loans, estate planning, and why traditional life insurance fails in a fiat-debased world. Whether you're thinking about passing your Bitcoin on to your family, protecting your wealth from future uncertainty, or simply want more control over your financial life—this conversation is a must-listen. ––– Offers & Discounts –––
Trouble ensues when we avoid saying what we actually need and expect the people we love to just know. In this episode of Complicated Kids, I sit down with Kati Morton—licensed marriage and family therapist and longtime mental health educator—to talk about why clear, direct communication isn't just a "nice-to-have," but a skill that can change relationships and, in some cases, save them. We dig into why so many of us avoid saying what we actually need, how resentment builds when we expect others to read our minds, and why discomfort isn't something to run from—but something to move through. Kati breaks down what clear communication really looks like in adult relationships, including when not to communicate (no trauma dumping), how to ask for help without blame, and what to do when you've spoken up and nothing changes. We also explore the DEAR MAN framework, how people-pleasing and control sneak into everyday interactions, and why letting someone help "the wrong way" is often better than doing everything alone. This conversation is especially relevant for parents—particularly those raising complicated kids—because when our adult relationships are strained, unsupported, or full of unspoken expectations, that stress shows up everywhere. Clear communication doesn't make relationships perfect, but it does make them more honest, more resilient, and more human. If you've ever thought, "Why do I keep doing this?" or felt stuck between staying silent and saying too much, this episode will feel grounding, validating, and surprisingly practical. Key Takeaways Clear, direct communication reduces resentment and helps relationships function with more trust and stability over time. Unspoken expectations often lead to burnout because others cannot meet needs they don't know exist. Asking for support works best when it's specific, timely, and framed around your own experience rather than blame. Children should never be responsible for regulating or carrying adult emotional needs, even when transparency is important. Choosing the right moment to communicate matters just as much as the words being used. The DEAR MAN framework offers a practical structure for asking for change without escalating conflict or defensiveness. A single attempt at communication doesn't always change patterns; consistency and clarity are often required. Accepting help means allowing others to do things differently—and tolerating imperfection in the process. Discomfort is a necessary part of growth and often signals an opportunity to strengthen connection rather than avoid it. Difficult conversations, when handled with care, frequently deepen relationships instead of damaging them.

Listen to JCO's Art of Oncology article, "Final Silence" by Dr. Ju Won Kim, who is an Assistant Professor at Korea University College of Medicine, Medical Oncology. The article is followed by an interview with Kim and host Dr. Mikkael Sekeres. Dr Kim explores the burden of silence when caring for dying patients. TRANSCRIPT Narrator: Final Silence, by Ju Won Kim Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: Welcome back to JCO's Cancer Stories: The Art of Oncology. This ASCO podcast features intimate narratives and perspectives from authors exploring their experiences in oncology. I'm your host, Mikkael Sekeres. I am a Professor of Medicine and Chief of the Division of Hematology at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Miami. We are so thrilled to have joining us today, Dr. Ju Won Kim. She is Assistant Professor at Korea University College of Medicine, and she is here to discuss her Journal of Clinical Oncology article, "Final Silence." Ju Won, thank you for contributing to the Journal of Clinical Oncology and for joining us today to discuss your article. Dr. Ju Won Kim: Hello, Mikkael. It's really nice to be here. Thanks so much for inviting me. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: It's so nice to have you here today also. Thank you for also taking time so late in the evening because our time difference is so huge. Dr. Ju Won Kim: Yeah, it's not that late. It's 9 o'clock in Seoul. 9:00 PM. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: I wonder if I could start by asking you if you can tell us about yourself. Could you walk us through your career so far? Dr. Ju Won Kim: Yes. I am Ju Won Kim from Korea University in Seoul. I was born and also raised here and never really left from Seoul. I did my residency in internal medicine and fellowship in oncology at the same hospital, and now I'm an assistant professor there. So you could say I've spent my whole life on the same campus, just moving from one side of the hallway to another. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: That's a beautiful way of describing it. Is that common in Korea for somebody to remain at the same institution for training and then to continue through your career? Dr. Ju Won Kim: It used to be common about a decade ago, but nowadays it is not that common. Most of my colleagues are from another campus or another hospital. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: Well, I'm so curious, what is a typical week like for you? How many days do you spend seeing patients and how much time do you spend doing research or writing or have other responsibilities? Dr. Ju Won Kim: Usually, I spend four times for my outpatient clinic, but in Korea, there are so many cancer patients and so little number of medical oncologists. I usually treat so many patients in one clinic, like maybe 20 to 30 in one time. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: Wow. Dr. Ju Won Kim: Yeah, that's a burden. Most of the time I spend treating my patients, and rest of them I use to spend for my research with my lab students, and maybe with my colleagues, and I have to write something like documents or some kind of medical articles. That is about 10 or 20% of my working time, I think. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: Okay, okay. That makes sense. So, and do you specialize within oncology, or do you see any person who has cancer? Dr. Ju Won Kim: I'm a medical oncologist, and I used to treat breast cancer or biliary pancreatic cancer or some kind of liver cancer or rare cancer, maybe, also. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: Okay, okay. It's such a long trip. Are you able to make it to the ASCO Annual Meeting in Chicago? Dr. Ju Won Kim: Actually, I've been Chicago for ASCO meeting just one time in this year. Actually, I gave birth to my son in March, and I was in the long vacation for my birth, and the last part of my birth vacation, I went to Chicago to participate in ASCO. It was a really good time. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: Oh, fantastic. That's great. How about your own story as a writer? How long have you been writing narrative pieces and when did you start? Dr. Ju Won Kim: Actually, I've always thought of myself more as a reader than a writer. Reading was my comfort zone from childhood. Then I started a small book club with friends about 10 years ago, and we began writing short reflections after each meeting. That's how writing slowly became part of my routine. When reading feels heavy, I write. When writing feels tiring, I read. It's a rhythm that keeps me balanced. At first, it was only academic writing like medical articles, but a few years ago, I challenged myself to post one short reflection a month on my Instagram, usually a quote from a book and a few sentences on why it mattered to me. It was my life about writing. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: That is really remarkable. So, did you take any formal writing classes at university? Dr. Ju Won Kim: Not really. It was just a hobby of my own. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: It always impresses me when people come into writing organically like this, where they just discover it and start and don't have formal teaching because your writing is very, very good. Dr. Ju Won Kim: Oh, thank you. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: And how do you find the time to read and write when you have a busy career, academic career, and you have a child? Dr. Ju Won Kim: It was my old routine that I used to read it before going to bed, from my bedside with a small light, I used to read some novels and get to sleep easily. But after I started to work as a medical oncologist, it was a very busy job as you know. I used to sleep more and not have time for reading. I try to read more when I get some free time. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: I love how you talk about alternating reading and writing and how when one gets too heavy, you go to the other, and then you switch back. One of the most common pieces of advice I've heard from writers is to read more. Dr. Ju Won Kim: Yeah. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: You can see how other people put thoughts together and the cadence of their writing, and also it inspires your mind to develop new ideas for writing. Dr. Ju Won Kim: Actually, the new idea also comes from the book, I think, when I came into a new book and the idea bangs up with me, so I started to write and that's an easy way to have some idea about writing. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: I'm always impressed by people who are facile with languages and bilingual or trilingual. I think I'm unfortunately a hopeless monoglot. Dr. Ju Won Kim: Maybe you can try Korean. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: I'd be embarrassed to even attempt it. When you read, do you read in Korean or do you read in English or other languages? Dr. Ju Won Kim: Definitely in Korean. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: Okay, okay. And when do you find the space to write? Do you need to be alone at home in a special room or at a special desk, or do you write at work, or do you just find any time to write? Dr. Ju Won Kim: I usually don't have much time on my own because I have my baby now and some family gathers frequently. So, I always write every free time I'm trying to, any short free time in my work maybe. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: If you feel comfortable doing so - this is a very heavy piece, and a lot of us have dealt with deaths of our own patients, of course, we see this unfortunately commonly in oncology, but many of us, myself included, have also dealt with patients or their family members who've committed suicide - can you tell us what prompted you to write this piece? Dr. Ju Won Kim: As an oncologist treating biliary and pancreatic cancers, I've witnessed many deaths, as you know. Most fade with time because I treat so many patients, but just one family stayed with me, I think. It was early in my career, just months after I started this specialty, and even 5 years later, I still think about them, the family I wrote about in the "Final Silence." The story eventually became the piece I wrote. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: And what is it about them that caused you to think about them so much even years later? Dr. Ju Won Kim: I'm not sure. That's the only experience I came into someone's suicide so closely in my life, I think, and also it happened in my very early career. That's the impact. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: It is amazing how certain patients stick with us even years or decades later, particularly when they're tied to an emotional response to illness, and that can be our patients' emotional response or our own. Can you talk some about Korean culture and how cancer is viewed? Is it discussed openly? Dr. Ju Won Kim: In Korea, death is still a quiet topic. Cancer equals death in many people's minds, and death equals grief. Even today, some families ask doctors not to tell their patients about the diagnosis, but Korea is aging so fast, so I see more older patients now, but culturally, we are still learning how to talk about dying openly. That's the big problem as a medical oncologist, especially treating biliary and pancreatic cancers. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: I can just imagine. When you first meet a patient and their family is in the room, do you tell them that they have cancer, or do you need to check in with the family and with the patient how much they know about their diagnosis first? Dr. Ju Won Kim: Actually, I usually try to tell them there is a cancer, which can never be treated perfectly, because I used to treat patients with stage four, which is incurable, but I'm not sure is it okay to tell them that your life is about 3 months or 6 months or 1 year. It is not that okay for the Korean patients, especially the first time when they meet me in the clinic. I try to tell them about the truth just a few times later. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: I think that's common. I think we do that in the United States also. We may not mention a number to patients during that very first meeting because when you're talking to somebody and once you mention that number, often people will shut down. They won't hear anything else that you say. And you need to build up a relationship and some trust with somebody and also get the sense how much they want to know about their cancer and their prognosis before entering that conversation. I've certainly had instances when I'm in a room with a patient, and that patient's spouse or children, and someone else in the room will say, "How long does Dad have to live?" And I've turned to my patient, "Dad", and said, "Is this a number that you want to know?" And the patient has said, "No, I don't." Dr. Ju Won Kim: Yeah, that happens. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: So sometimes we have to be careful and check in and remind ourselves in the high emotions around a cancer diagnosis that our first responsibility is always to our patient and what they want to know about their diagnosis and their prognosis. Dr. Ju Won Kim: Do you have any opposite cases where patients really want to know the numbers? Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: Yeah, I do. And, you know, you can almost predict who that's going to be depending on what they did during their lives. Dr. Ju Won Kim: Yes. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: So I have patients who are engineers or who have a math-based career like they're accountants and they'll come in and they write every number down and they want to know the number about their prognosis. I have other patients who are English professors and they want descriptively to know what the prognosis is but maybe don't want a number. So... Dr. Ju Won Kim: I think most Koreans want the number, the specific number. Yeah. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: I'm curious, is cancer in a father or a son dealt with differently than cancer in a mother or a daughter? Dr. Ju Won Kim: I don't think there's much difference between sons and daughters, or maybe moms and dad, because every child is very precious in Korea now, but between husband and wives, I think the dynamic stands out. People often say when a husband gets cancer, the wife becomes his main caregiver, but when the wife gets cancer, sometimes the husband disappears. I've heard that from my colleagues, though not often in my own clinic. Now, what I do see is many middle-aged women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, women coming to treatment alone, strong and very independent. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: Interesting. So I was going to follow up by asking if you've seen that in your own clinic. Have you seen- is it more likely that your female patients who have a cancer diagnosis come to clinic alone but the male patients come with their spouse and with family support? Dr. Ju Won Kim: Yeah, it is not just because of their sex, but most of the breast cancer patients who are female are in good condition, but biliary pancreatic cancer male patients have very poor condition, so... Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: Ah... Dr. Ju Won Kim: Maybe, I think that's the problem. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: Interesting. The part of your essay in which you describe the attempted suicide of your patient's daughter is absolutely chilling. How did that affect you? Have you ever had a patient attempt suicide before? Dr. Ju Won Kim: Yes, the event I wrote in my essay was extremely shocking for me, but it's the only experience I have. It wasn't my patient, but I've heard a few cases where someone in the hospital tried to take their own life. I haven't had that happen directly, but I've seen patients fall into deep depression or break down in tears. In those moments, I always suggest psychiatry nowadays. That used to be taboo in here, but the stigma is fading, and many patients actually feel better afterwards. I also check in with close family members because their mental state affects the patients, too. It's something I hope never to experience again. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: It's so unsettling when that happens, and as I mentioned, I've had a patient who took his own life, and you go back and back and back to it to wonder if there's something you could have done to intervene quicker or to get that psychosocial support in place to help that patient so that you avoid it in the future. And, you know, you protect your patients and yourself. Dr. Ju Won Kim: Yeah, I try to. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: Speaking of protecting, you write, and I'm going to quote you to you, "I told myself I was protecting her, that to burden her in her final hours with such unthinkable news would be cruel. But a deeper truth is that I was protecting myself. I didn't know how to say it. I didn't know how to bear the weight of her devastation on top of my own shock and helplessness, so I avoided it." Do we owe it to ourselves sometimes to protect ourselves from the pain we sometimes impart to our patients? Dr. Ju Won Kim: That reflection came from realizing how doctors sometimes say we are protecting patients from pain, but really, we are protecting ourselves, I think. It's human. We can't hold every piece of suffering we see. Setting emotional boundaries isn't weakness. It's survival. What matters is recognizing when it's self-protection and being honest about it later. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: Well, I think something that really helps with that is being able to talk to our colleagues about times when this happens and recognize we're in a shared experience and that we have the support of our colleagues, and they recognize how hard it is to be the bearer of bad news to other people and to bring pain to them sometimes. Dr. Ju Won Kim: That really works. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: Dr. Ju Won Kim, it has been such a pleasure having you on this show. Dr. Kim has written just a fabulous essay called "Final Silence" for JCO Art of Oncology. Thank you so much for sharing your article with us and for joining us today.

Episode 290The Unspoken Contract of GivingWhat really happens when you give and receive nothing back, not rejection, not conflict, just silence.In this episode of You're Probably Right, we unpack the psychology of giving in adult relationships and why unacknowledged effort can feel more painful than being told no. This is not about holidays, birthdays, or special occasions. It is about the everyday reality of giving that happens all year long in dating, marriage, friendships, situationships, and long term connections.We explore why people give in the first place, including clean generosity, anxious giving, guilt driven giving, image based giving, and the need to quiet one's conscience. We also look closely at why people receive the way they do, from secure and appreciative responses to avoidance, entitlement, overwhelm, and emotional distance.This episode breaks down how men and women often interpret giving differently, how social expectations and gender norms shape reactions, and why the same act of generosity can be experienced as care by one person and pressure by another. We discuss male giving to female, female giving to male, and the misunderstandings that arise when effort replaces clarity.You will hear a deep dive into unspoken transactional dynamics, sometimes called soft sugar arrangements, where generosity exists without labels or agreement, and why ambiguity almost always benefits one person more than the other. We also examine why silence after giving triggers self doubt, rumination, and resentment, even in people who are generally secure and emotionally grounded.This episode introduces practical ways to assess a dynamic without games or manipulation, including how to pause giving to gather information, how to recognize when generosity has stopped being clean, and how to set boundaries that create respect rather than conflict.If you have ever wondered why giving left you feeling confused instead of connected, or why appreciation seems to disappear over time, this episode offers language, structure, and perspective to understand what is really happening beneath the surface.This is a long form, reflective episode about clarity, accountability, and emotional balance in adult relationships.You're Probably Right.

As project managers, we spend a lot of time talking about tools, processes, and delivery frameworks—but far less time talking about the invisible structure that holds projects together: trust. In this Top Shelf Replay episode of Project Management Happy Hour, Kim Essendrup and Kate Anderson revisit one of the show's earliest and most enduring concepts: Trust Bricks. Originally recorded in 2018, this short but powerful episode explores how trust is built—not through grand gestures or heroic saves—but through consistent, everyday actions that compound over time. The core idea is simple: trust is predictability. When you repeatedly do what you say you'll do—whether that's sending meeting notes on time, honoring estimates, or showing up prepared—you lay one small Trust Brick at a time. Over weeks, months, and years, those bricks form a structure strong enough to withstand missed deadlines, bad news, or the occasional broken promise. Kim and Kate break down why Trust Bricks matter so much in project environments: Teams are more honest with you when they trust you Estimates improve when people believe they won't be punished for telling the truth Difficult conversations become easier when everyone believes you're on the same side Sponsors give you more latitude when your track record is consistent The conversation also explores what happens when trust breaks—and how the same Trust Brick approach can be used to rebuild credibility. Rather than trying to restore trust with a single "big win," the hosts argue that rebuilding starts small: partial deliverables, frequent check-ins, and deliberately meeting micro-commitments until confidence is restored. In the replay commentary, Kim and Kate reflect on how their thinking has evolved since the original recording. They discuss: The role of showing up consistently, even when no explicit promise was made How trust operates differently in virtual and remote teams Why strong performers can accidentally set expectations that lead to burnout How leaders vary widely in how much "trust damage" they tolerate before overreacting The episode also revisits the journey of Trust Bricks beyond the podcast, including Kim's experience delivering a TEDx talk on the topic and refining the framework into three enduring lessons: You are always building or breaking Trust Bricks—whether you realize it or not Missed expectations don't pause trust building; they actively tear it down Unspoken expectations are the fastest way to accidentally destroy trust This episode is a reminder that trust isn't soft, vague, or optional—it's a core delivery skill. If you want stakeholders who back you, teams who tell you the truth, and projects that don't require constant firefighting, it starts with sweating the small commitments. The next time you make a commitment—big or small—ask yourself: Am I laying a brick… or cracking one?

Find them on Instagram, Facebook, and their website! This week, Jill brings back one of the most downloaded episodes in the history of the show, episode 15 titled "Bad Mutha" from 2020, long before she really had any idea what this podcast would become. She shares how she didn't reread or rework it and how that is honestly part of the point. She was overwhelmed, anxious, and convinced that she was screwing everything up as a mom, but now, five years later, after a whole lot of therapy, journaling, and soul-searching, she has realized that the guilt that she felt then is the same guilt so many of us are still carrying now. In this replay episode, you will hear Jill wrestle with the old stories that she used to tell herself such as the story that she was a bad mom, that every mistake was permanent, that other mothers were doing it "right" while she was just keeping her head above water. You'll also hear the moments that still tug at her heart such as the night that she chose a spotless kitchen over watching a Star Wars movie with her daughter, memories that she has replayed endlessly as if punishing herself could rewrite them. However, this episode is about naming what's actually underneath mom guilt: perfectionism, comparison, and the old wounds which we drag into adulthood without even realizing it. It's about understanding why we cling to the belief that we're failing, even when the evidence says otherwise, and it is, of course, about the uncomfortable truth that guilt doesn't make us better mothers; it only teaches our kids to carry the same shame that we're trying to outrun. Jill encourages listeners to remember that every parent has their private struggles, no matter how shiny their family looks from the outside. Every child grows through their own challenges, and every mother, whether she believes it or not, is doing the absolute best she can with the tools that she has, so if mom guilt has been background noise for you or if you're ready to let go of the impossible standards that have followed you for years, this revisited episode will meet you exactly where you are! Also, don't forget - Jill will be hosting an upcoming retreat - the More of Me retreat - offering a deep dive into self-discovery. Head to jillherman.com for more details!

"The one I thought you were gonna say is: she's the enemy." For years, Jay didn't just lie to me about his addiction. He lied to himself about WHO I was. And those lies kept him stuck in porn for decades. The 5 lies addicts believe about their wives: She's the enemy - Anyone who sees a crack in the mask must be stopped and hushed She's gonna leave anyway - So why bother trying? Might as well do whatever I want She doesn't care about me - I'm not that important to her (justification to use) She's too angry to handle the truth - When really, he feared rejection and being alone She won't meet my expectations - Unspoken demands that turn into resentment and reasons to look elsewhere The shocking part? Jay admits: "I am an abuser, and abusers dominate. And that's what I did." He made me easy to dominate. He sufficiently shut me up. He turned me from a mirror (reflecting his behavior) into a shield (protecting him from truth). Why this matters: These beliefs aren't about you - they're about attachment issues and fear Most addicts don't even know they believe these lies The goal was never sex - it was avoiding being truly known Without consistent boundaries, addicts will keep crossing lines For partners: If he sees you as the enemy for pointing out flaws, if he believes you'll leave no matter what, if he resents you for not meeting unspoken expectations - these are the lies keeping him stuck. For addicts: Your wife could have made recovery so much easier. But your false beliefs about her became your excuse to keep using. The truth? You should have taken your needs to God, not porn. What lie did your addict believe about you? Comment below.

Story Transcript:Nl: De sneeuw viel zachtjes op de daken van het kleine, rustige suburbane dorpje in Nederland.En: The snow gently fell on the roofs of the small, quiet suburban village in Nederland.Nl: In de woonkamer van het huis van de familie Jansen hing een geur van versgebakken kerstkoekjes en de getrouwe geur van de kerstboom.En: In the living room of the Jansen family's house, there was a scent of freshly baked Christmas cookies and the familiar smell of the Christmas tree.Nl: Het klonk gezellig, maar de spanning was te snijden.En: It sounded cozy, but the tension was palpable.Nl: Bram zat op de bank in het midden van de kamer.En: Bram sat on the couch in the middle of the room.Nl: Hij keek om zich heen.En: He looked around.Nl: De muren hingen vol met oude familiefoto's en in een hoekje speelde een stereo zachtjes kerstliederen.En: The walls were covered with old family photos, and in a corner, a stereo softly played Christmas carols.Nl: Zijn zus Tess liep druk heen en weer.En: His sister Tess was busily moving back and forth.Nl: Ze probeerde de tafel te dekken met de rode en gouden servetten die ze ieder jaar gebruikten.En: She was trying to set the table with the red and gold napkins they used every year.Nl: Ze maakte zich zorgen om Bram.En: She was worried about Bram.Nl: Ze wist dat het moeilijk voor hem zou zijn om hier te zijn.En: She knew it would be difficult for him to be here.Nl: Ingrid, hun moeder, zat in de stoel bij het raam.En: Ingrid, their mother, sat in the chair by the window.Nl: Ze keek uit naar buiten, alsof ze in gedachten verzonken was.En: She looked outside as if she was lost in thought.Nl: Maar niets ontging haar.En: But nothing escaped her notice.Nl: Ze hield er de schijn van een perfecte kerstbijeenkomst in de lucht.En: She maintained the appearance of a perfect Christmas gathering.Nl: Haar gezicht straalde vriendelijkheid uit, maar Bram wist dat haar blik scherp kon zijn.En: Her face radiated kindness, but Bram knew that her gaze could be sharp.Nl: De avond viel en uiteindelijk kwam ook Hans binnen, Brams vader.En: Evening fell, and eventually, Hans, Bram's father, came in.Nl: Hij hoopte het diner snel en zonder drama door te komen.En: He hoped to get through dinner quickly and without drama.Nl: Het gesprek verliep stroef.En: The conversation was awkward.Nl: Er was altijd wel een laag ijs tussen hen dat niemand durfde te breken.En: There was always a layer of ice between them that no one dared to break.Nl: Hans maakte, tussen twee happen door, een opmerking over Brams werk.En: Hans, between two bites, made a comment about Bram's work.Nl: “En hoe gaat het nou met jou, Bram?En: “And how is it going with you, Bram?Nl: Nog steeds niks gevonden, neem ik aan?” De opmerking leek onschuldig, maar voor Bram was het als een dolk.En: Still haven't found anything, I assume?” The remark seemed innocent, but to Bram, it was like a dagger.Nl: Zijn woede borrelde op, maar hij slikte het weg en keek richting Tess.En: His anger bubbled up, but he swallowed it and looked towards Tess.Nl: Toch kon hij het niet onderdrukken.En: Yet, he couldn't suppress it.Nl: “Altijd diezelfde vraag, hè pap?” Bram's stem trilde een beetje.En: “Always that same question, huh, dad?” Bram's voice trembled slightly.Nl: “Bestaat er iets waarvan jij blij wordt, of is het altijd kritiek?” Ingrid schoof nerveus heen en weer in haar stoel.En: “Is there anything that makes you happy, or is it always criticism?” Ingrid shifted nervously in her chair.Nl: “Jongens, het is kerst.En: “Boys, it's Christmas.Nl: Laten we het gezellig houden.” Maar de vulkaan was al uitgebarsten.En: Let's keep it pleasant.” But the volcano had already erupted.Nl: Hans rechtte zijn rug.En: Hans straightened his back.Nl: “Als je gewoon je best had gedaan, hoefde dit gesprek niet steeds terug te komen.” “Je geeft me nooit een kans!” riep Bram.En: “If you had just done your best, this conversation wouldn't always have to come up.” “You never give me a chance!” Bram shouted.Nl: “Je kijkt altijd alleen naar wat ik niet goed doe!” De kamer vulde zich met een pijnlijke stilte.En: “You always look only at what I do wrong!” The room filled with a painful silence.Nl: Tess liet de lepels die ze vasthield, vallen.En: Tess dropped the spoons she was holding.Nl: Ze stond in de deuropening, tranen in haar ogen.En: She stood in the doorway, tears in her eyes.Nl: “Stop het!En: “Stop it!Nl: Alsjeblieft… kunnen we niet gewoon één dag doen alsof?” Bram zuchtte diep en zijn blik ontmoette die van Tess.En: Please… can't we just pretend for one day?” Bram took a deep breath and his eyes met Tess's.Nl: Hij voelde zich ellendig.En: He felt miserable.Nl: Hij wilde haar beschermen, niet meer pijn doen.En: He wanted to protect her, not cause more pain.Nl: In de gespannen stilte stond hij op en liep naar buiten, de koude winterlucht in.En: In the tense silence, he stood up and walked outside into the cold winter air.Nl: Even later hoorde hij voetstappen achter zich.En: A moment later, he heard footsteps behind him.Nl: Tess kwam naast hem lopen.En: Tess came to walk beside him.Nl: Samen liepen ze een stukje, hun adem vormde wolkjes in de lucht.En: Together, they walked a bit, their breath forming clouds in the air.Nl: “Het spijt me, Tess,” zei Bram langzaam.En: “I'm sorry, Tess,” Bram said slowly.Nl: Ze glimlachte zwakjes naar hem.En: She gave him a weak smile.Nl: “Je hoeft je niet te verontschuldigen.En: “You don't need to apologize.Nl: We weten hoe het is.En: We know how it is.Nl: Maar laten we proberen er iets van te maken, oké?” Bram keek naar de sterren.En: But let's try to make something of it, okay?” Bram looked at the stars.Nl: “Ja, voor jou.En: “Yes, for you.Nl: We zullen er iets van maken.” In de koude nacht vond hij een moment van vrede.En: We'll make something of it.” In the cold night, he found a moment of peace.Nl: Hij besefte dat hij zijn familie misschien niet kon veranderen, maar wel zijn houding tegenover hen.En: He realized that he might not be able to change his family, but he could change his attitude towards them.Nl: En dat was misschien genoeg voor nu.En: And that might be enough for now.

Hey Tribesmen, Episode 62 is here, and this one cuts straight to the heart of what makes or breaks a Jewish home. I sat down with Lauren Hofstatter, known online as The Orthodox Therapist, for a raw and honest conversation about marriage, expectations, emotional intimacy, and the silent frustrations that many men carry but rarely speak about. Lauren doesn't sugarcoat anything. She's a wife, a mother of ten, and a therapist who sees the same pattern repeat itself in marriages every single day: Unspoken expectations → confusion → resentment → emotional distance. If you've ever felt misunderstood… if you hold back what you really feel… or if you want deeper connection but don't know how to start the conversation, this episode will open your eyes to what's been holding you back. What You'll Learn: Why expectations quietly destroy marriages Most couples never speak clearly about what they want. Assumptions turn into disappointment. How to communicate without anger or defensiveness The exact mindset shift that helps your wife feel safe enough to listen, and helps you express yourself without shutting down. Why anger is easier than vulnerability Men often stay angry because it feels like control. But it blocks intimacy more than anything else. The first step to fixing your marriage (and it's not about her) Before you can explain your needs, you must understand how you like to be loved. How to love your wife the way she actually feels loved Not the way that's natural to you. Not the way you wish someone loved you. The way she needs. Why every marriage needs clear, spoken agreements Unspoken agreements become silent resentment. Spoken agreements build peace. How childhood patterns shape your marriage today Most men are acting out expectations they absorbed from their parents, without even realizing it. Why getting help is not a weakness, but a sign of leadership Couples aren't taught emotional intimacy. Support is strength. Key Takeaways for the Tribe: ✔ Clarity Beats Assumptions Say what you mean. Ask what she means. Expectations only work when spoken. ✔ Communication Is the Real Foundation Ninety-five percent of marital problems trace back to miscommunication or silence. ✔ Know Your Needs First You can't express what you've never identified. ✔ Love Her the Way She Receives Love Not the way that's easiest for you. ✔ Anger Is a Shield Vulnerability builds connection. Anger builds walls. ✔ Agreements Keep the Marriage Peaceful Every home runs on systems, make yours spoken, not guessed. ✔ It's Not Weak to Get Help It's wise. Most couples need guidance to build emotional intimacy. Show Notes: Introduction (00:00): Welcoming Lauren and why her voice matters for Jewish men today. Lauren's Journey (01:00): How raising ten kids and building a private practice shaped her work in marriage and intimacy. The Expectation Trap (06:00): Why unspoken expectations are the biggest silent killer of connection. Communication Basics (11:30): How to talk without judgment and how to listen without reacting. Criticism vs Clarity (14:00): Why your wife hears "attack" when you're expressing a need. Know Yourself First (20:00): The surprising first step to improving your marriage. Loving the Wrong Way (22:49): How couples accidentally love each other in ways that don't land. Anger as Control (26:30): Why anger feels safe, and why it keeps you stuck. Stop Generalizing (29:58): "Be more present" means nothing. Real communication is specific. Masculine & Feminine Roles (32:28): Understanding polarity in the modern Jewish home. Marriage Agreements (38:00): Why each marriage needs its own spoken system, and why sharing them with friends is dangerous. The Root Issue (42:09): The number one problem in marriages and what to do about it. Closing Blessing (43:00): Yigal shares chazak ve'ematz with Lauren. This episode is for every man who wants a stronger marriage, deeper connection, and a home built on clarity, honesty, and respect. Stay strong, stay connected, Yigal P.S. If this episode hits home, choose one small step today. Start one honest conversation. Ask one clear question. Say one thing you've been holding in. Change begins with clarity.

The Becoming You Show with Leah Roling: Inspire, Impact, & Influence Your Life
Part Two is here — and it's the episode your best life has been waiting for. In Part One, we pulled back the curtain on the three major culprits of mental and emotional clutter: ✔ Unmanaged thinking ✔ Indulgent emotions ✔ Unspoken expectations …and we named the hidden weight they add to a life that's already extraordinary underneath the noise. In Part Two, we pick up exactly where we left off — and we go deeper. This episode teaches you how to subtract the unnecessary hard, close your energy leaks, clean up emotional loops, dissolve decision debt, and step into the version of yourself who leads life with clarity, confidence, and ease. You'll learn: • The Life Profitability Formula • How to identify and remove energy leaks • The manual you've been giving others without consent • Why overwhelm isn't a feeling — it's a fog of unmade decisions • How to use boundaries, requests, and agreements to clean up your relationships • Why ease isn't laziness — it's identity • The 7-Day Subtraction Challenge • Real self-leadership scripts for everyday life If Part One opened your eyes… Part Two is going to open your entire life.
There's a moment I still remember clearly sitting across from someone I loved deeply. Words hovered between us, fragile and afraid. Neither of us spoke. And in that silence, something shifted. The space between us grew heavier, denser, almost sacred. We both knew what needed to be said… but we couldn't find the courage.

Send us a textWhat does it really look like to be a single Muslim woman in today's world?In a culture where marriage is often seen as a woman's “end goal”, staying single—by choice or circumstance—comes with pressure, judgment, and a lot of assumptions.

It's a raw conversation about family expectations, community culture, faith, career, and identity.Our guest for the show is Amal Abuzahria. In this episode we talk about:What everyday life actually looks like for a single Muslim womanMarriage pressure from family and the communityThe double standard: single Muslim men vs single Muslim women“You're getting old” – how age, timelines, and “the market” really feelBalancing deen, culture, and personal happinessCareer, money, and being labeled as “too independent”Mental health, loneliness, and feeling “less than” for not being marriedHow social media, DMs, and modern dating impact Muslim relationshipsWhat Muslim men don't see about what women are going throughThe unspoken fears about the future: kids, aging, and supportThis is not an attack on Islam or on the Muslim community.

It is an honor and a privilege to welcome music producer and songwriter Toby Gad to the first Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast Holiday Special! Toby began his career in the late 1980s, when he and his brother Jens had three of their songs featured on controversial music duo Milli Vanilli's European debut and multi-platinum album, All or Nothing. Because of the songs' success, Milli Vanilli's producer Frank Farian produced the brothers' 1990 debut album, NRG. That same year, Toby met Jacqueline Nemorin, and a 10-year collaboration began with 1992's Creole Dance and continued with 1995's Mission of Love and the title song for Neverending Story III. Following success in Germany, Toby left for the United States. He opened Strawberrybee studio in Midtown Manhattan and co-wrote “Unspoken” with Madeline Stone and O. Hatch for Christian platinum artist Jaci Velasquez. The song stayed on the Christian Billboard Top 20 Singles chart for half a year. In 2003, Toby produced and co-wrote “A Toast to Men” for Willa Ford, and two years later, developed, produced, and co-wrote Kaci Brown's Interscope Records debut, Instigator. He also produced and co-wrote songs for Ricky Martin and the Veronicas. In 2008, his career shifted into high gear after Fergie released a song they co-wrote, “Big Girls Don't Cry.” The song went 4x platinum and peaked at the number one position on the US Billboard Hot 100. He also co-wrote and co-produced Beyoncé's “If I Were A Boy,” which went 2x platinum and peaked at number three on the US Billboard Hot 100. He continued to write massive hits for Calum Scott (“No Matter What”), Demi Lovato (“Skyscraper”), Jessie J (“Who You Are”), Josh Groban (“River”), Leona Lewis (“Fire Under My Feet'), and Madonna (“Bitch, I'm Madonna” and “Living for Love”). One of his massive hits was John Legend's “All of Me,” which earned RIAA's 13x Diamond (Highest Certified RIAA Single in History) and won Grammy, Soul Train, and NAACP Awards. Recently, Toby Gad released his first holiday studio album, Piano Diaries Christmas. The album features original songs co-written with an all-star group of recording artists. Anthony Gargiula, Gavin James, Huntley, Joelle James, Jordin Sparks, Loren Allred, Marisha Wallace, Sam Ryder, and Victoria Justice are some of the talented vocalists who are featured on the record. When he is not in the recording studio, Toby is also the host of the Songs You Know Podcast. In each episode, Toby and his guests uncover the tales, creative processes, and moments of magic that brought iconic songs you know and love to life. Previous guests include Billy Steinberg, Jessie J, Josh Groban, Justin Tranter, Lindy Robbins, Loren Allred, and Marisha Wallace. On the 2025 holiday special, Toby Gad talked about his songwriting sessions with Beyonce and Demi Lovato, writing “All of Me” with John Legend, the moment he swore at the Queen of Pop, and previewed Piano Diaries Christmas.

Merch and apparel is now available through an exclusive collaboration with Confetti & Cloth Boutique for Black Friday! Comfortable and stylish sweatshirts, hats, coffee mugs, and more! Available while supplies last. Find them on Instagram and Facebook! The holiday season is here, and Jill is also here to share her thoughts on how to avoid the holiday season being the stressful period that you probably believe it to be. Focusing particularly on Thanksgiving in the United States, she directly challenges listeners, stating that if you are tired of doing the holidays the same way every year, then it is you who has the power to make a change! Jill encourages listeners to examine your holiday routines and question whether those routines are truly serving you, and she cautions against falling into patterns of resentment, self-sacrifice, and victimhood. Jill also walks listeners through a quiet exercise to reconnect with yourselves through breath, body awareness, and intuitive movement. She suggests writing exercises to uncover what you no longer want to participate in during the holidays and then to envision your ideal holiday experience. Jill stresses the importance of believing that you deserve this, being open to receiving it, and committing to holding onto that vision. While Jill acknowledges that making changes to holiday traditions may be difficult and cause conflict with family members, she also highlights the fact that with love, clarity, and compromise, you can rewrite the holiday narrative in a way that serves you, and she encourages listeners to have the courage to say no, set boundaries, and prioritize your own needs and desires! Jill ultimately wraps it all up by expressing her belief that when listeners stop making yourselves last on the list, the holiday season will look very different (and better) than years past, and she reminds listeners that you have the power to create the holiday experience that you truly want! Also, don't forget - Jill will be hosting an upcoming retreat - the More of Me retreat - offering a deep dive into self-discovery. Head to jillherman.com for more details!

Hey Doc —What if I told you your husband and AI have way more in common than you think?Not in a “men are robots” way, but in a “this explains so much about your marriage” way.In this episode, I'm breaking down the four big parallels between husbands and AI — the ones that quietly shape your communication, your expectations, and yes… your resentment. And listen, I love AI and I love husbands, so this episode is coming from a place of deep affection and deep realness.We're talking about the stuff we all experience but rarely say out loud:The mind-reading you wish he could do (but he absolutely cannot)The unspoken expectations that turn into premeditated resentmentsHow his upbringing — just like AI training data — shapes everythingWhy he jumps straight into Fix-It Mode when you just wanted “Ugh babe, that sucks”And why you should be using (and leveraging) both AI and your husband way more than you areIf you've ever wondered “Why doesn't he just KNOW?” or you've found yourself venting to him only to get a full strategic plan you didn't ask for — this episode is for you.Share this one with another physician mom who's ready for more clarity, less resentment, and better communication in her marriage.
"You cannot be more of a friend to others than you are to yourself." What if friendship wasn't meant to be effortless, but to make you more alive? What if every relationship, especially the most challenging ones, was a portal into your own expansion? In this episode of Soul Talk, I sit down with Barnet Bain, award-winning filmmaker, spiritual teacher, and author of How to Be a Friend in an Unfriendly World, to explore the sacred, often overlooked art of friending. Barnet reveals a radical truth: Most of us think we're good friends, until the relationship becomes inconvenient. Until someone changes. Until life asks us to grow. Together we dive into the real work of authentic connection, why unconditional love is often a myth we hide behind, how our unspoken emotional contracts quietly sabotage intimacy, and why true friendship requires a willingness to be changed by one another. Barnet shares tender personal stories, including a powerful moment with his daughter that shattered his self-image and awakened him to the unconscious conditions he had placed on love. Through his wisdom, we explore how friendship becomes a spiritual practice, a living crucible where our wounds, triggers, and projections are not obstacles but invitations. Listen to this episode and learn how to friend yourself, friend your wounds, friend your inner weather, and finally, friend others from a place of truth, not need. Timestamps: (00:02:27) - What inspired Barnet's new book on friendship (00:04:22) - A wake-up call: Barnet's daughter confronts him (00:08:52) - What is a friend? A new definition (00:10:26) - Unspoken "contracts" in friendships (00:12:04) - Why true friendship requires being emotional and spiritual peers (00:17:28) - The "backpack" we all carry into relationships (00:20:28) - Friendship across generational or financial differences (00:21:38) - Friendship in a polarized world: Trump/Biden, identity, beliefs (00:22:06) - Becoming a friend to your inner world first (00:27:38) - Lucid living: becoming aware inside the "dream of life" (00:29:25) - How Barnet has sustained a 40-year marriage (00:32:35) - Honoring each other & being willing to be changed (00:35:22) - Why we lack models for friendship today (00:38:16) - How to know when a friendship is over (00:41:34) - What to do when you feel lonely or friendless (00:47:17) - Fun as medicine & small steps to connection (00:49:26) - Tools to deepen existing friendships (00:52:43) - The real function of a friend Some Questions I Ask: What inspired you to write a book specifically about friendship? What is your definition of a friend? Is unconditional love real, or a myth? Can we truly be friends with someone who is in a different "bandwidth"? How do we maintain friendships in a politically divided and polarized world? What does it look like to "friend yourself"? In This Episode, You Will Learn: How to recognize the hidden contracts and expectations you bring into relationships How to practice emotional maturity and presence in friendships How to build friendships based on equality, depth, and spiritual peer-ship How to navigate friendships across political or ideological differences How to cultivate long-term, intimate partnerships that grow with you Simple daily practices to help let go of friendships that have naturally dissolved How to start building connections even if you feel alone or disconnected LINKS BARNET BAIN'S URL: https://barnetbain.com Get in Touch: Email me at kuteblackson@kuteblackson.com Visit my website: www.kuteblackson.com Resources with Kute Blackson: Kute's Life-changing Path to Abundance & Miracles: https://www.8levelsofgratitude.com Free masterclass: Learn The Manifestation secret to Remove Mental Blocks & Invisible Barriers to Attract The Life of Abundance You Desire.

What if the most important legacy you leave behind isn't money—but wisdom? Hour 1 opens with Al Smith of Golden Eagle Financial (https://goldeneaglefinancialltd.com), who joins John Rush to challenge listeners with a powerful question: Are you truly prepared for the future? This hour, with its urgent focus on generational wealth and financial planning, forces you to rethink retirement, self-sufficiency, and the responsibility we owe the next generation. But the conversation doesn't stay calm for long. As Colorado's roads crumble and the state faces a billion-dollar budget shortfall, John exposes a fiery online clash between Governor Polis and Governor Ron DeSantis. Did Colorado really collect billions in marijuana tax revenue for schools and roads—or is that claim collapsing under scrutiny? And why are residents suddenly reporting ICE sightings while extremist rhetoric spikes across social media? Just when the hour can't get any hotter, John tackles a new political battle: the future of SNAP benefits. With millions at risk of losing food assistance, is America facing a safety-net crisis… or finally confronting system abuse? Packed with financial insights, political fireworks, and complex questions, Hour 1 dares you to engage in a thought-provoking journey, rethinking what you believe—and why. HOUR 2 What happens when the American dream collides with a 50-year mortgage? Hour 2 launches with Eric Weir (https://erikweir.com), author of Who's Eating Your Pie? as he and John Rush pull back the curtain on the newest—and most controversial—tool in housing finance. Could a half-century mortgage help first-time buyers escape rising rents, or is it a financial trap doubling your lifetime interest? And is this just math… or a political maneuver aimed at the Federal Reserve? But the hour takes a sharp turn. As social media erupts with anti-Israel rhetoric and conspiracy-driven claims, John confronts the emotional chaos head-on. Why are so many Americans falling for manipulated narratives? And how is AI—now powerful enough to create chart-topping songs—reshaping what people believe? Just when the tension peaks, the conversation shifts again: back to financial stability with Al Smith of Golden Eagle Financial, and then into the world of sports, where the Denver Broncos deliver a jaw-dropping win that has fans buzzing. Plus, hear what John and Richard have to say about the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser. Packed with financial strategy, cultural firestorms, and unexpected victories, Hour 2 dares listeners to question everything—from mortgages to media to the world we think we understand. HOUR 3 What if the next global war isn't fought with missiles—but with algorithms? Hour 3 opens with AI and national-security expert Chris Hoar of SAT123 (https://sat123.com), who joins John Rush to break down America's silent, escalating technology battle with China. From rare earth control to stolen nuclear innovations, Chris reveals how Beijing's 2030 plan to dominate AI hardware and software is closer to reality than most Americans realize. Could the U.S. lose the digital high ground simply because we're looking the other way? But the conversation goes deeper. John exposes chilling new reports of Chinese hackers using AI for autonomous cyberattacks, raising the stakes on tariffs, national defense, and America's technological vulnerability. Then he pushes further: what happens when AI becomes so advanced that people can hold full conversations with systems that think—and manipulate—like humans? The hour closes with political fire. John tackles the Epstein document battle, accusations aimed at Donald Trump, and the internal meltdown inside the GOP, from Marjorie Taylor Greene to Colorado's own party infighting. Packed with espionage, ethics, and AI-driven danger, Hour 3 asks the ultimate question: Are we prepared for a world where technology, politics, and power collide?

In this episode, I talk about how your real communication isn't what you say—it's everything that happens before, around, and even without words. People make up their mind about you long before you speak. Your body, your silence, and your energy speak louder than anything you can say. I break down how that unspoken communication shapes how people see you and how to use it with intention. Show Notes [02:39]#1 You'll never get a second chance to make your first impression. [11:36]#2 Authority is felt, not said. [21:21]#3 Words can lie, energy does not.

Is the most important part of plastic surgery the scalpel—or the psychology behind why you choose it and how you feel afterward?In this candid episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, I sit down with my longtime patient-turned-friend, Alexis, to unpack her 15-year journey—four surgeries, eight procedures—and the mindset shifts behind each decision. From a post-pregnancy mommy makeover (tummy tuck with diastasis repair) to a breast lift with implants, then subtle upper-face rejuvenation (limited lateral brow lift + upper lids), and finally a lower-face/neck transformation (deep-plane facelift + small chin implant + lower lids + micro-fat grafting), we show how sequencing, restraint, and honesty can deliver results that look fresh—not “done.” We talk openly about why some patients stay secretive, why others are proudly transparent, and how to navigate judgment, social media distortion, and the myth that more procedures = a “cat face.” You'll also hear how motherhood, weight changes, and aging shift priorities—and why sometimes the kindest thing you can do for your family is to put your own “oxygen mask” on first.In this episode, you'll learn:The right procedure at the right time: why exercise can't fix loose skin or diastasis, and when surgery is the missing puzzle piece.Sequencing that makes sense: convenience, recovery, and why breasts + abdomen often play better together.Face vs. filler: when fillers help—and when a facelift/necklift is the “screwdriver,” not the hammer.Chin implant reality check: tiny, customized implants that sharpen a jawline without changing who you are.Natural, not noticeable: how subtle technique (and using less pull, not more) avoids the “weird” look.Mindset matters: dropping shame, embracing empowerment, and being honest for the sake of others' expectations.Who this episode is for: those considering a mommy makeover, anyone debating face/neck rejuvenation in their 40s–50s, and listeners confused by the internet's extremes who just want practical, compassionate guidance.If this helped you, pay it forward:Leave a kind review (it means the world to our team), and share the episode with anyone you love who's thinking about plastic surgery—before they book, so they can make informed choices. — Dr. Rady Rahban, Plastic Surgery Uncensored✨ If you enjoyed this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored:✔️ Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.✔️ Rate & Review—your feedback helps more people find us.✔️ Follow Dr. Rady Rahban across all platforms for daily insights, behind-the-scenes, and patient education:Instagram: @drradyrahbanTikTok: @radyrahbanMDYouTube: @Rady RahbanFacebook: @Rady Rahban✔️ Share this episode with someone considering plastic surgery—the right knowledge can save a life.
Most people talk about how to start a practice — but not what happens once you actually make it. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Angela, founder of Synergy Chiropractic & Sports Rehab, to talk about her journey from working blizzard shifts as an associate to building a thriving, all-cash, six-figure practice. We break down what it really took for her to go from playing it safe to taking the leap, scaling fast, and facing the real cost of success — the mental, emotional, and leadership challenges that come once the money starts coming in. This conversation is raw, honest, and one every chiropractor needs to hear — especially if you've built a job for yourself but haven't yet built a business.

In this week's solo, I'm diving into one of my favorite (and most misunderstood) topics: influencer marketing.After years of working with brands and creators through my agency, Meraki Media Management, I've learned that the secret to influencer marketing isn't about follower count — it's about relationships, alignment, and collaboration.I'm sharing:- What to do when you don't have a big budget for influencers- How to build authentic relationships that lead to long-term partnerships- Why collaboration always works better than transaction- And how to protect yourself (and your brand) with clear communication and contractsWhether you're a business owner ready to collaborate with creators or a marketer building your next campaign, this episode will give you a real behind-the-scenes look at how influencer marketing works, and how to make it feel aligned.*Special Offer from Cozy Earth: Black Friday came early!- Use code ‘MERAKI' to save 40% sitewide!- Try Cozy Earth risk-free with their 100-Night Sleep Trial and 10-Year WarrantyBecause comfort fuels creativity — and these are the softest sheets and pajamas ever!cozyearth.com | Code: MERAKI*Loved this episode?*DM me on Instagram @meraki_media_management to share your biggest takeaway or your Cozy Earth favorites, and tag me when you order — I want to see what you picked!

If you have ever said yes to God and then wondered why everything suddenly got harder, this episode is for you. We often discuss purpose, calling, and obedience, but not nearly enough about the cost that accompanies them. The truth is, a refining process occurs after your 'yes'. The confusion, the pushback, and the discomfort are not signs that you missed it. They are often the evidence that God is shaping you for the very thing you prayed for. In this conversation, I share the unspoken side of your calling, the parts no one prepares you for. You will learn how to recognize when it is your flesh resisting versus when God is redirecting, and how to walk through the refining fire without losing faith in the process. If you are in that place of tension, called but questioning, obedient but weary, this message will remind you that you are not alone and that there is purpose in the pressure.
