We are closing out the year with a powerful reflection on momentum, identity, and what it really takes to move forward as a creator or entrepreneur. This session is about shedding old skins. Old identities. Old ways of working that no longer fit who you are becoming. This past year pushed almost everyone through some level of transformation. Plans broke. Pivots happened. Certainty dissolved. And while that process is rarely comfortable, it is often the necessary initiation before real momentum arrives. As we move into the Year of the Fire Horse, this is not a season for resting. It is a season for taking advantage of the foundation you have already built. In this talk, I walk you through: Why shedding old identities is required before growth can accelerate How to recognize what still needs to be released before the new year begins A powerful visualization and journaling process to clarify what “flying forward” actually looks like in your business How to anchor your imagination in a future that works instead of fear-based projections Practical questions to help you turn momentum into real structure, systems, and income If you are a creator, coach, teacher, or entrepreneur who wants to build a business that supports your life instead of consuming it, this session will land. This is the kind of work we do inside Majik Mind: Village of Creators. It is a space for creators who want clarity, momentum, aligned income, and a community that actually understands the path they are on.

Explore the dark folklore lurking beneath Rovaniemi, Finland's cheerful Christmas facade, where ancient Sami legends of underground dwellers called maahiset reveal the sinister origins of Christmas helpers who emerge during the polar night to claim children for their eternal celebrations.

Send us a textThe mic comes on mid-chaos and never loses its pulse. We start with jokes, fits, and that too-real conversation about boundaries—how sober vs drunk intimacy changes the vibe, why reciprocity matters, and when saying no is the most respectful move. The rhythm shifts to hometown pride: packed gyms, lopsided zones, and the art of loving your local hoops even when the tallest “center” is six-three and scrappy.Then we press hard on the Diddy documentary. We break down 50's curation playbook—familiar footage, new voices, sharper context—and wrestle with credibility, NDAs, and the ethics of speaking out after years of silence. If you took the perks while looking away, do you get to preach later? The conversation doesn't chase a hot take; it pulls apart power and proximity, and what people truly owe the truth. Charleston White's polarizing commentary threads the needle as we separate message from delivery and ask why “street codes” often punch down instead of up.Sports anchor the back half: Georgia high school football, recruiting rules when coaches get fired, and how a letter of intent can still make sense in the transfer era. We cool down with holiday canon—Home Alone supremacy, A Christmas Story reruns, and the eternal glow of Let It Snow—before landing in real life: work schedules, social media boundaries, making sure the check hits, and a fantasy football showdown with serious money on the line. It's the kind of episode that feels like a long sit on a familiar couch—unfiltered, principled, and fun.If you're into culture wars with receipts, hometown sports with heart, and holiday debates that turn into playlists, you'll feel right at home. Hit play, rate the show, and drop your take: does loyalty excuse silence, or does truth come with a clock?

Send us a textIn this profound and unfiltered conversation, I sat with Rima Zanoun -  entrepreneur, holistic coach, speaker, and founder of Makaw and Kream by Makaw - to explore what it truly means to live as a sovereign woman in today's world.Drawing from over 15 years of experience in coaching, family and systemic constellations, and conscious entrepreneurship, Rima challenges modern narratives around femininity, power, choice, and equality. Together, we unpack the pressures women face from society, patriarchy, and each other, questioning whether today's version of freedom has come at an unseen cost.Rima speaks candidly about victimhood, responsibility, and maturity, offering a powerful reframe on suffering, self-sabotage, and reclaiming personal agency. The conversation weaves through themes of feminine and masculine harmony, leadership, spirituality, motherhood, creativity, and what it means to live in alignment with one's inner truth rather than external expectations.This episode is not about prescribing answers. It is about remembering what we already carry within us, and having the courage to live from that place. A deep, thought-provoking dialogue for anyone questioning identity, power, and what authentic expression truly looks like in the modern world.Tune in to They Say It Takes a Village on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.

Where has Santa Claus gone?Once upon a time there was Santa Claus's Village — but Santa Claus wasn't there. He had been missing for days and days… actually for months. Who would prepare and deliver gifts to the children as they did every year?That part of the North Pole which was usually very busy had become strangely silent — not an Elf could be seen around, no sounds of bells, the sleighs were covered in snow and all the reindeer dozed about confused.If you looked into his house you couldn't see a trace of life. The fireplace cold, the rocking chair covered in cobwebs, an empty cup on the wooden table and a candle stub burnt out long ago.Many were the rumours that had spread about Santa Claus's absence. Some said he was on another planet in a far, far away galaxy, some on the Moon, some on the vast oceans — and someone even said he had opened a bakery in Buenos Aires.The mystery was thick. Nobody could make sense of it and everything was silent and still.Meanwhile, many miles away, in the Southern Seas, a group of seagulls who spent their days fluttering above the bay spotted a small sailing boat in the distance. There was only one sailor on board who was hoisting the main sail up the creaking mast.The eldest seagull couldn't believe his eyes. He did a couple of acrobatics in the air, pulled out his spyglass, looked more carefully and said: "But I know him! That sailor comes from distant lands!"Turning to the other seagulls he told them: "One day, during one of my long journeys, I lost my way and found myself on the frozen rooftops of a village at the North Pole. I landed right on the house of that long-bearded man you see on the boat. He heard me calling for help, came to fetch me, fed me and told me about his work. I think this meeting has something magical about it. Our next adventure is about to begin."Gliding down, they headed towards the boat and all landed on the bow. The seagull and the sailor greeted each other like old friends.Shortly after, a group of dolphins arrived near the sailing boat, curious. They swam in circles around the boat, jumping out of the water.The youngest dolphin noticed something strange. "Look! Wood shavings are coming out of the hold and floating! And you can see little lights below deck."The long-bearded sailor smiled. "Come," he said in a warm voice, "I'll show you what I've done all these months."He opened the hatch to the hold and inside, by the light of two swaying lanterns, you could see a floating workshop full of wonders. With a sharp plane he had worked pieces of wood recovered from the sea, transforming them into toys — and he had done the same with shells, coconuts, cork stoppers, glass bottles, starfish and golden threads that had arrived from who knows where."I travelled to learn new ways of bringing joy," the sailor explained. "But there's so much work to do and Christmas is coming. Would you help me finish?"And so they all set to work together. The dolphins brought special shells from the bottom of the sea. The seagulls gathered coloured feathers. The objects transformed into gifts were placed in large canvas sacks.The days passed quickly.On the first of December the captain, wearing his red warm hat with his pipe in his mouth, looked at the starry sky and said: "It's time to leave."The dolphins lifted the sailing boat until it rose above the waves. The sails filled with wind and it took flight, whilst the flock of seagulls guided it through the clouds following dreams. Together they continued the journey heading north, flying through the endless blue.Night fell quickly and in the sky full of stars one shone brighter than all the others. It was the North Star which with its light accompanied the sailing boat's descent to earth.By magic, as it approached the village, the sailing boat transformed into a sleigh loaded with gifts. The presents built in the hold arrived in the workshop to be delivered together with all the other parcels.When it landed on the roof of his house, a tinkling of bells was heard in the distance. The Elves looked out of their doors and shouted: "It's him! It's him! It's Santa Claus! He's back!"The red-nosed reindeer woke up suddenly and began polishing the sleighs, decorating them with bows and coloured pine cones.Life in the village awakened all at once. The tree branches shook as if they were being tickled. A group of penguins, who had arrived at the North Pole to lend a hand, sliding on the ice sheets at great speed, ended up inside snowdrifts and came out like bouncing balls.“You are so funny! We'll hang you on the Christmas tree as decorations!" the village animals shouted.But the penguins, freeing themselves from the snow, ran towards Santa Claus's house to help with the preparations.In the village absolutely everyone got moving. The reindeer rushed to the Post Office and filled the sacks with letters, then carried them to the workshop. The Elves with the help of the penguins were ready for work.That morning, when the bells rang out in celebration, foxes, squirrels, hares and bears came running from every corner of the forest to celebrate Santa Claus's return. There was so much to do for the joy of all the children in the world.The air smelt of fir trees and homemade biscuits. The Christmas trees sparkled with icicles like stars. The animals chased each other happily with their noses turned upwards.The preparations began in earnest. Throughout the month of December they worked together — saws that sang, hammers that played, coloured paper that flew. Santa Claus told stories of his journey whilst he hammered and sanded.And when the 24th of December arrived, everything was ready. The presents were loaded onto the sleigh and Santa Claus set off on his most important journey.The seagulls flew away towards new horizons, leaving their footprints on the snowy rooftops.Since that Christmas it is said that Santa Claus never left the North Pole again."What if it was only a tale? Is it true, or not? The final decision is yours!" — Written by Lucia & Marco CiappelliFor the Italian version and many more stories to read and listen to: https://www.storiesottolestelle.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Village churches are as much a part of our rural landscape as trees and hedgerows. However according to a recent survey by the National Churches Trust, as many as nine hundred of Britain's countryside churches are in danger of closing in the next five years. We visit a church in North Cumbria where the farming community is determined to save it. We also speak to the National Churches Trust about their fears for the future of small rural churches.There's also discussion of the latest government changes to planning regulations.Producer: Rebecca Rooney

Send us a textKelly Yepez is a lifelong Tucsonan who quite literally grew up at The Village Church, with some of her earliest memories rooted in the old spaces where kids would run and play after service. Now 25, Kelly brings a thoughtful way of seeing the world, shaped by self-awareness, family insight, and a love for simple, practical creativity. She carries that same posture into ministry, especially in Kids Matins and Kids Vespers, where she helps build curriculum that serves children, supports teachers, and stays grounded in the life of the community.Why we're using it: It is written by a lifelong Bible scholar, which helps keep the stories close to the biblical text without adding extra details to force a lesson.What problem it helps solve: Some kids' Bibles add imaginative elements that unintentionally shape the story in ways Scripture itself does not. This approach avoids that.Teaching posture: Read the story clearly and let it stir curiosity. Resist the urge to land on a single moral every week. The goal is thoughtful engagement, not quick conclusions.Age clarity: The material is designed for ages 3–8, so keep language concrete, sentences short, and explanations simple.A realistic scope: With 140 stories, this is meant to be a long, steady rhythm, roughly a two-year journey, not something to rush through.Handling harder stories: Some stories are intentionally delayed because they are too intense for younger kids. If a child brings one up, affirm their question and let them know it is a story we talk about when we are older.When details feel “missing”: The retellings may be brief by design. If something feels unclear, return to the biblical text rather than filling in the gaps with extra details.Teacher confidence: It is okay to say, “Let me check that later.” Careful attention to what Scripture actually says is part of the formation process.Village posture: Read together, wonder together, ask a few good questions, pray simply, and send kids home with something they can talk about around the table.Support the show"Healing the City" is a profound and dynamic weekly podcast that dives into the complexities of creating healthier communities.

At some point, every coach, creator, consultant, and guide hits the same wall: low-priced offers require too many people, too much hustle, and too little depth. In this talk, I break down why high-end, high-touch offerings are not optional if you want a sustainable, aligned business — and how to design them without selling your soul, overworking yourself, or defaulting to hourly pricing. I share real examples from Majik Media and Majik Kids, lessons from closing six-figure consulting and coaching packages, and the mindset shifts required to confidently charge for outcomes, not time. This is for you if: - You're tired of needing volume to make money - You know your work creates real transformation - You want fewer clients, deeper work, and better results - You're ready to design a premium offer that actually feels good to sell In this video, you'll learn: - Why hourly pricing breaks at the high end - How to design a high-end offer around outcomes, not content - The role of access, depth, and real support in premium programs - How high-end offers simplify your entire business ecosystem - What it actually takes to sell $10K–$100K programs with integrity - Why relationship and trust matter more than funnels at the high end Build your high-end program inside the Village of Creators. Get the help you need to level up at https://majikmedia.com/majikmind If you're building a coaching practice, creative business, consulting offer, or transformation-based service — and you want fewer clients, more impact, and more financial ease — this is for you. Topics: high end coaching programs, premium coaching offers, how to charge more as a coach, high ticket coaching, selling outcomes not hours, coaching business model, creator business strategy, consulting pricing, high ticket offers, sustainable business for coaches

Ostap Ukrainets was born in 1994 in Kalush, Ivano-Frankivsk in western Ukraine. He graduated from the National Kyiv-Mohyla University with BA and MA degrees in comparative literature. He made his debut as a writer in 2017 with the novel "Malchut", which was hailed the "debut of the year" by Village magazine. Since then, his novels „Trance” and „Crusade Chancellery” were well received by readers. Ostap writes in the genre of historical and peculiar fiction, often referring to cultural heritage and history of anecdotes. He lives in Lviv. Of his four novels, three are dedicated to historical events and explore Ukrainian identity through the prism of postcolonial and trauma studies. A year before the invasion, he opened a publishing house specializing in humanities with his wife and their colleague.----------The Steel Porcupine https://www.thesteelporcupine.com/I'm proud to say that this series of ‘Ukrainian advent' interviews is supported by The Steel Porcupine – a unique and powerful film about a country that refuses to lie down, a people who turned themselves into a fortress of needles when Russian tanks rolled in. The Steel Porcupine is an unforgettable cinematic experience that exposes Russia's campaign of extermination in Ukraine, and the Ukrainian people's spirit to resist and prevail. It follows soldiers, volunteers and people who decided that survival meant resistance, not submission.Created by the makers of the acclaimed To the Zero Line, this is another film about humanity, that clearly states there is no such thing as neutrality when war crimes are being committed systematically by Russia, and on a scale in Europe only comparable to World War Two. Set to a haunting soundtrack featuring music by Philip Glass, and blending rare archival footage with original material, it is an impactful work of art and storytelling, as well as being informative.----------WORKS NOMINATED BY: Ostap Ukrainets BOOKSMaik Yohansen - Dr. Leonardo's Journey to Sloboda Switzerland with his Future Lover, the Beautiful AlcestaIvan Nechuy-Levytskyi - The CloudsFILMSSergei Parajanov - Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors (1965)Borys Ivchenko - The Lost Letter (1972)Viktor Ivanov - Chasing Two Hares (1961)WORKS OF ARTYakiv Yakovych HnizdovskyDavid Chichkan----------LINKS:https://willadecjusza.pl/en/ostap-ukrainets-ostap-ukrayinets-1https://lareviewofbooks.org/contributor/ostap-ukrainets/https://www.instagram.com/ukrostap/https://bookforum.ua/en/participants/9131https://lareviewofbooks.org/short-takes/dont-touch-my-corner-the-war-from-ivano-frankivsk/----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN 12 Events in 12 months - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur first live events this year in Lviv and Kyiv were a huge success.

What time is it…for you? I don’t mean the time on a clock. I mean the time in your story. Everybody experiences seasons in life. For many of us, as we grow older and approach retirement, the season whispers (or yells), “It’s time for a change.” Life may be telling you to slow down, to travel more, to reignite an old hobby…or something else. Today’s episode, like so many these days, was prompted by YOU. Many conversations this year have a central focus – time. The desire to make the most of whatever time we have. For us to pursue what we most want while we’re able. That’s why I constantly hear this refrain from people who have moved to Hot Springs Village… We wish we’d done it sooner! Let me try to help you figure it out. I’m going to end with these two fill-in-the-blank statements. I’d love to know you complete each sentence. It might be time for ___________________.

It was Christmastime — a season of peace, light, and goodwill — which made the slow unraveling of their minds all the more disturbing.IN THIS EPISODE: Despite being in the middle of the first World War, on Christmas Day, 1914 British and German soldiers sang carols together, exchanged gifts with the enemy combatants, and supposedly even played a soccer game against each other in order to celebrate the holiday. (The Great War's Christmas Truce) *** The case was so mysterious it was even featured on TV's “Unsolved Mysteries” and “America's Most Wanted”: who committed the Christmas murder of Latricia White? And what happened to Lee and Chance Wackerhagen? (An Unsolved Christmas Murder Mystery) *** We're so used to seeing old St. Nick showing up with a big bag of toys for the kiddies – but what if he arrived with another bag full of switches for your parents to use the whole year through if you were on his naughty list? We'll look back at when Santa wasn't purely jolly and jovial, and when he arrived to dole out both presents and punishment! (Santa's Naughty List) *** The Los Feliz murder mansion became the site of a horrifying and sad Christmas tragedy for one California family. (Christmas At The Los Feliz Murder Mansion) *** A haunting holiday mystery took place in England in 1916 when a young bride simply disappeared without a trace. (The Vanishing Christmas Bride) *** A man tries to take on supernatural forces – and ends up as an undead creature who appears as a terrifying Yuletide spirit.

In this profound conversation, Dr. Daniel Siegel, clinical professor of psychiatry at UCLA School of Medicine, founding co-director of the Mindful Awareness Research Center, and bestselling author—shares groundbreaking insights on parenting, brain development, and human flourishing.Dr. Daniel Siegel is one of the world's leading experts on interpersonal neurobiology and author of influential books including "The Developing Mind," "Parenting from the Inside Out," "The Whole-Brain Child," and "Mindsight." His work bridges neuroscience, psychology, and contemplative practice.THE CORE PRINCIPLE: INTEGRATIONDaniel Siegel introduces the foundational concept governing well-being across all scales—from neurons to nations.Integration means honoring differences (differentiation) while creating connections (linkage). When integration is blocked, we experience chaos, rigidity, or both. The revolutionary equation: integrative relationships create integrated brains, which generate resilient minds, meaningful relationships, and flourishing lives.TEMPERAMENT VS. PERSONALITY: THE NEUROSCIENCEDr. Siegel reveals cutting-edge research on how temperament—rooted in brain stem connectivity formed in the womb—differs from personality. Temperament is inborn (not necessarily genetic) and characterised by sensitivity and intensity across three core motivational drives: Agency (embodied empowerment), Bonding (relational connection), and Certainty (predictability and safety). Personality develops as we adapt our temperament through experience, particularly attachment relationships.THE BEST PREDICTOR OF CHILD OUTCOMESThe most powerful finding in attachment research: how parents make sense of their own life history predicts their child's development better than what actually happened to them. PRACTICAL PARENTING WISDOMLearn the "4 S's" framework—how children need to be Seen, Soothed, Safe, and Secure. Discover why humans evolved for "alloparenting" with multiple caregivers. Understand the COAL state of mind (Curious, Open, Accepting, Loving) when navigating challenging behaviors.NINE DOMAINS OF INTEGRATIONDr. Siegel explains practical applications: Left-Right Integration (your infant's right-hemisphere communication), Vertical Integration (accessing body wisdom), Memory Integration (transforming implicit memories), and Consciousness Integration (the "Wheel of Awareness" practice).THE MWE IDENTITYDaniel Siegel offers hope: we can raise the next generation with expanded identity—not just "me" but "MWE" (me + we), recognizing we're part of interconnected systems. This shift could transform humanity's trajectory toward collaboration and thriving.Other References: "Mothers and Others" by Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, Roger Sperry's Nobel Prize work (1981), Carol Dweck's research, Ed Tronick's "Still Face Experiment," Jaak Panksepp's affective neuroscience, Mary Helen Immordino-Yang's research(00:00) Introduction (02:59) What is Integration?

Our story tonight is called Fogged Glasses and Felting Fibers, and it's a story about an evening spent working on a project among friends. It's also about a tote bag full of spools of colored thread, the moon reflected in a car window, a saved seat, a black and white movie, the quiet companionable sound of knitting needles clicking and a gentle nudge to direct more attention to the things that make you grateful and content.
