Power Quote: “How do you want me to listen?”Description:Today's guest is someone I consider to be a master at the art of coaching, which is appropriate as she wrote the best-selling book titled The Art of Coaching. I Had Elena Aguilar on the show a little over a year ago and we split the interview into two parts, episodes 204 and 205 (link in the show notes) because it was so rich and packed with powerful thoughts and techniques. This interview with Elena is even more dense – so much so that we are splitting it into three parts. In today's section Elena and I dive into listening and there is so much packed into the span of fifteen minutes that I decided to release it as a full episode. If you listen closely, you'll recognize that the discussion is embedded within the intro section of celebrations and stories. We didn't even get to the main interview before Elena shared some wisdom that I wanted to put on its own, for your benefit.After this conversation, I've added Elena's thoughts on “the one thing leaders should take away.” It is consistent with today's main topic, but I will also include it in each of the next two part of our discussion because it is so powerful I think we all, myself included, need to listen to it once a week.Sponsor Spot 1: I'd like to thank Kaleidoscope Adventures for sponsoring today's show.

In this tender and truth-filled episode, Maria and Meghan pull back the curtain on one of the most damaging lies they've seen women carry: the belief that you're still single because you're not “doing it right” spiritually. Maybe you've heard it—or felt it too: if you just prayed harder, were holier, or checked the right boxes off, God would have answered your desire for marriage by now.Together, they name this lie for what it is: not from the heart of God.This conversation gently but boldly calls out the pressure many women feel to be perfect—before God, in dating, and in life. It's an invitation into something deeper and freer: imperfection, honesty, and radical surrender to the Lord as you are right now.Through stories, scripture, and deep personal reflection, Meghan and Maria walk with you through:The shame of “not doing it right” in your spiritual lifeThe difference between surrender and giving upThe grief of unmet desires—and what to do with itWhy honesty is often the doorway to deeper intimacy with GodPractical ways to notice where you feel unsafe with the FatherHow to crack the door of your heart—just a little—for grace to enterWhether you're in a season of disappointment, wrestling with your story, or simply needing a reminder that you're not alone—this episode is for you.

In this episode of the Women Offshore Podcast, we share the anonymous story of a mariner who navigated a series of deeply uncomfortable and inappropriate interactions while on hitch. This story does not involve physical violence, but it does involve emotional manipulation, blurred boundaries, and delayed responses from leadership. These are issues that many offshore professionals have faced but rarely talk about openly.The story is real. The names and identifying details have been changed to protect the person who came forward. The message is clear: workplace safety is not just about hard hats and checklists. It is also about culture, leadership, and how we respond when something goes wrong.What We CoverA firsthand account of escalating verbal misconduct over multiple hitchesThe emotional toll of being asked to remain quietHow unclear or delayed leadership responses can prolong harmThe importance of early reporting and documentationThe internal struggle of deciding whether to speak upThe episode also explores how difficult it can be to recognize when a line has been crossed, especially when harm comes in the form of repeated comments rather than a single, obvious incident. The individual in this story tried to handle things quietly, tried to avoid conflict, and tried to trust the system. But ultimately, it became clear that silence was not a solution.Why This MattersThis story is not rare. It reflects the kind of slow, repeated harm that often goes unaddressed, not because no one cares, but because no one knows who should act.Verbal and emotional misconduct can be harder to report, and even harder to respond to. People hesitate. Leaders assume someone else is handling it. And the result is silence when action is needed.Leadership is not just a title. It is a responsibility. Delays, vague responses, or inaction can leave people feeling unsafe and unsupported.This episode is a reminder that how we respond matters. The smallest action, listening, documenting, following up, can make all the difference.

Why do we keep having the same arguments even when we try to "meet each other's needs"?Why does it feel like my wife wants more from me than I have to give—and I'm the one being blamed?In Part 5 of this powerful series, we expose one of the most destructive myths in modern relationships: the “needs-fulfillment” mindset. When both partners are cold, empty, and emotionally drained, handing each other lists of unmet needs only leads to conflict, disappointment, and emotional burnout.Instead, Maurice introduces a radical shift: The Marriage Investment Model—a consecration-based approach inspired by early pioneers. This episode walks you through how to become a contracted contributor in your marriage—someone who gives even when their own tank is low, and builds a foundation that creates long-term healing and trust.Learn:Why emotional coldness is often a two-way famine, not a one-way failureHow to stop relying on your spouse to "fix" your emotional depletionWhat to do when both of you are exhausted and feel like giving upThe secret to building emotional wealth in your marriage—one deposit at a timeIf you're tired of fighting over who's hurting more and are ready to build something that lasts, this episode is your blueprint.Want to read more about this topic? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.lifechangingservices.org/shouldnt-you-be-able-to-rely-on-people-what-if-others-are-not-meeting-your-needs/Rather Watch Something? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THUGXxLBwN4Check out Life Changing Services: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.lifechangingservices.org/

At the heart of The Prophets' vision are “The 24 Essential Supply Chain Processes.” What are they? Find out, and see the future yourself. Click here Tariffs are back. The EV transition is shaky. Autonomous vehicles are still a question mark. The auto industry is staring down a future full of uncertainty, and suppliers are stuck in the middle of it all.In this episode, Paul Eichenberg returns to break down the three biggest shifts shaking up the supply chain: the move away from globalization, the messy reality of electrification, and the evolving regulatory landscape for autonomy.For decades, global supply chains were the name of the game—companies optimized for low-cost country sourcing, suppliers expanded internationally, and the industry embraced efficiency on a global scale.But now? Tariffs and shifting trade policies are forcing a hard pivot to regionalization. Suddenly, localization isn't just a buzzword—it's a necessity. Suppliers that haven't adjusted are running out of time.Then there's EVs—what was once an unstoppable movement is now facing resistance. Sure, automakers have committed to an electric future, but consumer adoption isn't moving as fast as expected. Policy shifts and market uncertainty create a volatile mix in North America, while China and Europe continue pushing full speed ahead. The big question? How long can suppliers ride the fence before going all in?And let's talk about autonomy. It's been overshadowed by EV hype and supply chain chaos, but it hasn't disappeared. If anything, it's quietly gaining momentum. With regulations starting to loosen, companies like Tesla are pushing harder than ever. The next few years could bring breakthroughs no one saw coming.So, where does this leave suppliers? According to Paul, there's no room for hesitation. The auto industry has always been at its best when its back is against the wall, and now is one of those moments. Scenario planning isn't just an option—it's survival. Transparency in the supply chain isn't just about efficiency—it's about being prepared for whatever comes next.Themes discussed in this episode:The decline of globalization and the rise of regionalization in automotive supply chainsHow tariffs and trade policies are forcing suppliers to rethink their sourcing strategiesThe uncertain future of EV adoption and the market hesitation slowing it downWhy regulatory shifts could make or break the transition to electrificationThe financial struggles of suppliers caught between ICE phase-out and EV ramp-upThe critical need for scenario planning in an industry facing constant disruptionHow political and economic polarization is reshaping global supply chainsFeatured on this episode: Name: Paul EichenbergTitle: Managing Director, Paul Eichenberg Strategic ConsultingAbout: With 25 years in the automotive industry, Paul Eichenberg has led strategy for top suppliers, including eight years as Global VP of Corporate Development & Strategy at Magna Powertrain & Magna Electronics. Now, through Paul Eichenberg Strategic Consulting, he advises hedge funds, private equity firms, investment banks, and automotive suppliers on product management, mergers & acquisitions, and future-focused strategies.Connect: LinkedInMentioned in this episode:

Episode SummaryThe world feels like it's on the edge of something big—markets are swinging, costs are rising, and everyone has suddenly become an economic or political expert. In this episode, Jim takes a deep dive into capitalism's chaotic nature, how it shapes our daily lives, and what we can do to take control amidst uncertainty. This isn't just about economics—it's about how we respond to change, where we spend our money, and how to reclaim financial and mental peace.Key Topics Discussed:The unpredictability of capitalism and its impact on daily lifeHow to navigate economic uncertainty without falling into fearThe hidden costs of convenience and how small fees add upThe psychology of consumerism and how marketing shapes our spendingWhy companies push artificial scarcity and dynamic pricing modelsRethinking tipping culture, hidden fees, and unnecessary expensesHow to shift from being a passive consumer to an intentional spenderThe importance of simplifying your life and reducing unnecessary purchasesStrategies for regaining control over finances and decision-makingThe mindset shift needed to survive and thrive in turbulent economic timesJim's Takeaways:You have more control than you think – The key to navigating economic chaos is shifting from reactive to proactive decision-making.Small costs add up – The extra fees, tipping culture, and “convenience” charges are draining wallets daily.Consumer psychology is powerful – Companies are designed to keep you spending, but recognizing their tactics helps you make better choices.Simplicity brings peace – Cutting back, decluttering, and making intentional purchases can lead to a better, more fulfilling life.Stop waiting for others to fix the system – Governments and corporations aren't going to change overnight, but you can adjust your approach right now.Challenge for Listeners:Take a hard look at your spending habits—where is your money going?Identify one convenience fee, service, or unnecessary purchase you can cut out.Consider what “simplicity” means to you and how it could improve your quality of life.Get in Touch:Have thoughts on this episode? Want to share how you're navigating capitalism? Send Jim a message—he'd love to hear from you.Follow for more insights, updates, and future episodes."This too shall pass. But in the meantime, let's take control of what we can." – Jim
