Podcasts about Vulnerable

What do you do when the man who once slid into your DMs ends up becoming your husband? If you're Kiara Liz Ortega, you marry him in Ireland at the actual P.S. I Love You bridge, wear a black diamond ring, and then laugh years later about the fact that yes—technically—you married your stalker. In this unfiltered, hilarious, and heart-tugging episode, the former Miss Universe Puerto Rico and star of The Bay opens up with Pol' Atteu and Patrik Simpson about everything from red-carpet disasters to her chaotic globe-trotting honeymoon. Imagine this: France, Italy, Qatar (during missile strikes, no less), the Maldives, Egypt, and Spain—all in just a few weeks. Kiara dishes on luxury bungalows, underwater hotels, driving through Spain like locals, and the surreal moment of almost canceling a trip because bombs were flying overhead. But the glamour didn't come without the drama. From falling down studio stairs mid-shoot (and her husband casually saying “I'll call you tomorrow” at 3 a.m.) to navigating soap opera storylines covered in blood yet dressed in couture, Kiara keeps the laughs rolling. She reveals how she hid her gowns from fellow pageant girls to avoid sabotage, walked a stage with mismatched shoes, survived zippers breaking right before a red carpet, and even flashed the wrong underwear during finals night—all while keeping her crown intact. Fashion lovers will swoon over the Runway Rundown details of her emerald gown designed by Pol' Atteu, a dress that somehow looked breathtaking even while she was dodging soap-opera gunfire. Meanwhile, Pol' and Patrik roast her kitchen skills, insisting she looked like she'd never seen a stove while filming, which Kiara blames entirely on her character, Dre Collins Castro. And then the tone shifts. The much-anticipated coffee reading uncovers something deeper—a snow globe from Hollywood she must keep close to anchor her balance, a wish from childhood she's still carrying, and the undeniable pull between financial stability and her true passion: acting. Vulnerable and raw, Kiara admits she longs to represent Puerto Rico not just with a crown, but with her craft, her voice, and her heart. She recalls the resilience of Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, where strangers pushed each other's cars in endless gas lines, laughter breaking through despair. For Kiara, that memory fuels her drive: to keep representing her island proudly in every project she takes on. By the end, we've laughed at the absurd (duct tape as a fashion savior), swooned over romance (a whirlwind proposal just four months in), gasped at the near disasters (missiles in Qatar, broken gowns, chaotic commutes), and sat in awe as Kiara shared the most mystical moment of all—the coffee cup confirming a wish she's carried since she was ten years old. This isn't just a podcast episode. It's a full ride: pageant sabotage, stalker-turned-husband romance, international honeymoon chaos, couture breakdowns, and a mystical glimpse at the future. Kiara Liz Ortega proves she's more than a queen—she's a survivor, a storyteller, and a Puerto Rican star who's just getting started. So grab your coffee, buckle up, and prepare to be undressed in the best way possible.   CHAPTERS: Subscribe to our audio: linktr.ee/undressedpod Follow Pol Atteu:  Instagram: @polatteu  Tiktok: @polatteu  Twitter: @polatteu  www.polatteu.com Follow Patrik Simpson:  Instagram: @patriksimpson  Tiktok: @patriksimpsonbh www.patriksimpson.com Follow SnowWhite90210: Instagram: @snowwhite90210 Twitter: @SnowWhite9010 www.snowwhite90210.com Watch Gown and Out In Beverly Hills on Prime Video.  www.gownandoutinbeverlyhills.com #UndressedPodcast  Armenian Coffee Reading: https://polatteu.com/armenian-coffee-cup-read Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to or welcome back to the Retreat Leaders Podcast at Shannon. I am super stoked about my guest today. Before we started recording, I told our guest that I don't have enough of them on my show or enough of them. You know that I see in the retreat space. So welcome Brent to the show. I'm so excited you're here. Brent 00:00:44  Thank you. Shannon, it's my pleasure to be here. I appreciate the time. Shannon  00:00:48  Yes. So Brent is a retreat host. And what I meant by there's not enough of them, or at least I don't see enough of them. And so maybe it's just not on my radar as much as it should be, is that there's not enough men hosting men retreats, in my opinion, and Brent hosts men retreats that look absolutely fantastic. Shannon  00:01:06  But I don't want to take away too much of your thunder, Brent. So why don't you just tell us all about who you are, what you do, and what brought you to where you are now? Brent 00:01:13  Absolutely. Thank you. So, I'm a previous corporate, employee. I was a, you know, a mid senior level HR leader for about ten years working in corporate America. Before that, I was in the car wash industry working as an operations leader. So for for like 15, 20 years, I was working for the man. And I got to the point where, last year, well, about two years ago, I went to an event out in Austin and I was really moved by it. And in that moment, sitting with 100 people, I looked to my friend and I said to him, I said, listen, man, I'm going to do this someday. I want to do this kind of thing. And I didn't know how it was going to happen. I didn't know what to expect. Brent 00:01:53  But, what ended up working out was that, you know, last year, you know, I made a pretty good deal on a real estate thing that I was doing on the side. And about Q3, Q4 of last year, I had this epiphany that like, if I wanted to, I could probably take a year, year and a half off and see if I could grow this, this retreat business into something. Shannon  00:02:15  And yes. Brent 00:02:16  Yeah. So it was really, it was exciting and nerve wracking at the same time. Right? You know, it's like, I have no idea what I don't know. yep. But I trust. Right? You know, I trusted and, I actually did a, I went to this breathwork, certification thing, and I came back from that in December of last year, and I was all of a sudden I was in a meditation after doing a breathwork. And it was like I felt like, you know, the universe just zapped into my head and was like, you should do a men's retreat. Brent 00:02:47  And I'm like, okay. Speaker 3 00:02:51  I didn't think about that. But, you know, I was like, all right. Like, let's, let's look at this. Brent 00:02:55  And, and but I didn't know where, you know, like I had coordinated things in corporate HR. Before, you know, corporate retreat type things, but not in this space. And I felt this, this urge to go to Sedona. And I had never been to Sedona before. I knew nothing about it. Literally had no idea where it even was. But I was like, okay, that's cool. Like, let's go. and, you know, six months later, you know, I had my first retreat. So, you know, it's been a journey. You know, it's, it's a it's a gift. It's really what it comes down to. So, you know, I don't wanna get too long winded on it, but I. Shannon  00:03:28  Know that this is great. Okay, so there's so many things that happened just in this first snippet. Shannon  00:03:34  the first thing is, is, like, you definitely received your download because for you to have a download that says, go to Sedona and you've never even been there or didn't even know where it is. that's definitely a download. It's not usually what I would recommend unless it's a download. Right. Because, you know, we we typically want to host at least our first retreat. and I'm even a fan of saying all retreats in places we've been to at least one time. However, there are definitely situations like this where something is speaking to you and you've just got to follow it. And I love this so much. Let's talk about the fact. Steve, here's the thing, guys. What we're going to talk about today is Brent's recap of his first retreat, and then now how he's going to learn from that retreat and go forward. Because I think a lot of people, Brent, they think my first retreat, I'm going to make $1 million and it's going to be knocked out of the park. Shannon  00:04:26  And I also think there are a lot of people out there making it sound like you can do that, like you can just all of a sudden be an instant success. But the truth is that there's no such thing in any industry. I don't care what it is. If corporate, small business, large business, it doesn't matter what it is. You're typically not an instant success unless you consider the learning, the success, which I do. Right? Because that's what those first few retreats are. At least the first 1 to 3 are learning experiences and their investments for future ones. So I would love, Brent, for you to tell us what happened on your first retreat and what was the biggest downloads and learnings you got from it? Brent 00:05:04  Yeah, yeah. Absolutely, absolutely. I mean, the the goal here was just to break even. You know, I, I, you know, I remember listening to episodes that you had shared and even in your book where it says like don't go too far away. Brent 00:05:16  And I'm like, oh my God. Like I live in Western New York. I'm going to this, this place I've never even been to. Right. So, you know, like, I booked a flight and I got out there two weeks later and I scoped it out, and and things just really aligned very well. but really, you know, what I learned from this was in the retreats, probably. And as with anything new, who you're coming up against is not the people that I was advertising to or, you know, my family. I was coming up against myself. You know. Shannon  00:05:47  This? Yes. Brent 00:05:49  Vulnerable space to be in, financially vulnerable, energetically vulnerable. And, you know, and to know that, like, not everybody catches the, you know, picks up what you're throwing down there. Right? Like, people are like, what the hell are you talking about? You're doing this, you know? So, yeah, I really I invested in a program. that was okay. Brent 00:06:11  Like, I spent a lot of money on it, but it was. It had a pretty good return for me, at least, to get me familiar, because I didn't have, like, an Instagram following. I didn't have a LinkedIn following. I, I'm not on Facebook that often. So how do you do this? Right? and that was part of facing off with myself is like overcoming this limit, these limiting beliefs that I need those things in order for that to happen. And, I'll be honest with you, I was going to I was going to throw it out, like I that got to be I had one person sign up. It was the end of March. the, the, the agreements that I signed were coming into the point were like, okay, you're you're within 90 days, you're within 45 days. You need to, you know, make sure you get a deposit. You're on the hook for this. And, I just didn't see it happening and I just totally I gave up, and I was going to take the website down. Brent 00:07:03  And I remember thinking, you know, I've got it. I'm going to take the website down, on like Thursday or no, it was like a week before. And then all a sudden I'm like, I'll just wait. I'll wait a little bit. I'm going to have this meeting with a friend and then we'll see what happens. Well, before this meeting with my friend, I'm making breakfast one morning and I get this text alert and I'm like, what the hell is this from? And I look, and somebody had actually registered for the event like a straight cold registration. And all of a sudden I had this moment and it's like, wait a minute, maybe that vision from a couple months ago is true. Maybe this like, maybe there is something out there that's matching what people need or what men need, and maybe I should try a different route. And so it brought up this sense of inspiration. and then I signed up, 4 or 5 other people within two weeks. Shannon  00:07:49  Like it just. Shannon  00:07:50  Wow. Brent 00:07:51  Yeah. Yeah, it was really powerful. so, you know, from that lens, like, I learned, like, if I try to force it, it's going to be way more difficult than if I just, you know, take the right action and allow it to kind of manifest or create itself and create the outcomes. Yes. And then also, you know, even just from the the overall experience, like I had a whole budget thing written out, I, I'm a numbers guy. So I was looking at a lot of that, and, and trusting the process that, you know, like I, I knew my numbers well enough so I could speak to things confidently. I knew it was going to be within like $500 plus or minus, so I was okay with that. and then and then really the, the self-efficacy of realizing, right, like in the midst of the retreat, realizing I'm doing it like, wow, this is really happening, right? Seeing other people's lives start to change in a matter of four days. Brent 00:08:44  And then afterwards, that feeling of, you know what? I can do this. And now after the response that I got from them, I'm like, I think I should do this more. And so that's what led me to to building into this second retreat now. Shannon  00:08:58  Okay, Brent. First of all, congratulations. You've done your first retreat and in my opinion, it was a huge success. Also, I want to harp on a little bit or not harp on. That's not the right word, but I want to just celebrate. I guess, again, this mindset shift that you had, because that's really what sounds like happened when you got that second, that second booking. I'm a big fan, I tell. I like to tell people who are who are new in the business that if you got one booking and it's an aligned booking, right, it's you got one aligned booking, then there's others out there. You're just either not speaking the right language, taking the right action, etc. and so forth. Shannon  00:09:37  I also like to say, now if you've got none, then we need to revisit what what your words are and who you're talking to and all the other stuff. But if you get one, at least aligned one. The other thing is you said something really powerful. My opinion is you can manifest and attract and allow all you want, but if it doesn't have action assigned with it, then it's just daydreaming to me. And daydreaming is fine, but it won't equate to what you just said happened in your mindset shift. So another congratulations, because that's really cool. So yay. First retreat. Nailed it. Nailed the mindset shift. Now coming out of that, and also, I am so glad that you got to see some of the transformation for other people through the space that you're holding, because that's what you're going to hold on to, Brent, as you continue to grow your business, because now you're going to based upon our conversation before we start recording, you're going to build this into a profitable machine. Shannon  00:10:37  And in order to do that, you're going to run into more obstacles. The mindset is going to get a little Willy Wonka. And we'll talk about that and and your plans. But but you're just you will naturally. That's what happens when we are on the precipice of growing big. But you're going to hold on to that whole like, I saw what this does. I know the value of what this is like. I'm just I'm a big believer that we can have impact and income. They don't have to be exclusive. And so anyway, so share with me now like what are we doing to make sure that it's profitable. What are some changes or what are some things that you're doing. Brent 00:11:15  100%. You know, like I there were things that we did in like Sedona, an inexpensive place to be. Like, I didn't know that. I know that now, you know, and there's there's times a year to be there and times of year that you don't want to be there. And, you know, so what I really took away from this, like I kind of did like what I call like an after action report. Brent 00:11:33  Right. So when I was in the military, after every mission, you look back and you say, okay, what was it that we did? What did we do? Well, what could we do differently? Right. So after doing this, what I really looked at was like some things were they didn't really have the impact, you know, like. so for example like we went on like this Jeep tour, like it was nice, it was fun. But like the guys weren't raving about it, it was just more of like nice to have now the zipline tour. Everybody loved it. Even those that were afraid of it and overcame themselves there. They loved it. So, you know, when I look at that, you know, I think about like, okay, because part of my modus operandi is every day we're going to do something off site. So like we go to hotels, I like to stay in nicer places. so we're going to stay at, like, a nice hotel. Brent 00:12:17  We're going to go out, we're going to do something off site. We're going to come back during the day. We're going to train, you know, have teachings, all that kind of thing. And then we're going to go out for nice dinners at the same time. And what I realized was like, as I, as I build into Austin, like, I don't need to, like we're going to do ziplines. Like for sure. Right. Like that's going to be awesome. But like I looked at like, oh, maybe we could do horseback riding and we could do this and we could do that. And I'm like, but does it need to happen? Right? So like when I look at it and I realize something's going to cost $2,000, but is it really going to align with what I'm teaching? Is it going to make an impact and help drive home what we're learning? Right? Or is it, you know, kind of like how, you know, you talk about like, yeah, people want to know like the activities, but they're looking for the feeling. Brent 00:13:02  They're looking for the transformation more than anything else. Right? So now as I look at it, what I'm looking for now is, is what what what are the critical few that are going to really land, right. And you know, for me ziplines that that's something that lands because even if you love them, you're still going to get a rush of adrenaline. There's still going to be some type of emotional response in our body. and you know just I like to have something a little bit. That's, that's specific to the area too. Right. So like when we go out to dinner we're not going to like KFC. We're not going to McDonald's. We're going to go to nice places that are in the area. and, and you know, one I want I want the guys to feel good. Right. So yeah, as I look at that now and then I look at how I'm pricing it, like I knew I was underpriced. I didn't know how much until I was actually on the retreat. Brent 00:13:52  And I remember, like, we rented like this big SUV and we're driving to this, I don't even know what we were doing, but I remember driving with all the guys in the truck, and and I'm like, this is like a $5,000 retreat. Like, they're like, I would pay. Not because I'm biased, but like, I would pay $5,000 for this. And I was charging, like 335. Yeah. So yeah, as I look at this now, now I've created, you know, the packages that range between 3500 to 5000. and then I'm adding the value. Right. Like, it's it's all dependent on what value you want out of it. And then also with what I've reduced from, from an expense standpoint. Now that margin went from really, like, maybe 1% to now I'm targeting more like 20 to 30% margin. And that. Shannon  00:14:38  Gives me, yeah. Brent 00:14:39  Bigger wiggle room and confidence to step into it because I know what it's worth. Shannon  00:14:44  Hey, retreat leaders, pause that retreat planning for just a second because I've got something you do not want to miss. Shannon  00:14:49  I'm headed to London this October to host a live event that's all about teaching you how to host a retreat that's not just transformational, but actually profitable. Imagine sipping tea or champagne with other like minded leaders while mapping out your next sold out retreat. It's happening at the gorgeous Waldorf Hilton in London. I'm spilling all the secrets from pricing to planning, marketing to mindset, and you'll walk away with a strategy you can actually use. No fluff, no BS, just results. So head to Retreat Mastermind training and come join me across the pond. Yes, yes, I noticed this. So Brent and I were talking before we started recording about. it's just my philosophy. Not all hosts are like this, but I'm not a discount person. I'm just. I absolutely am anti discount. And I love though, Brent. How you. I mean, I really loved how you built the value into each offering. So it's kind of like okay here's your first soft touch point you which includes this. And it's you know, 3500 or whatever it was. Shannon  00:15:54  This touch point includes these extra things, and it's 45, you know what I mean? Like, I just I absolutely love that I think that you are positioning yourself in such a way that it is going to be beautifully aligned for the guest to get what they want out of it, and then you to feel energetically aligned in a financial way for what you're offering. Right? Yeah, yes. Because the ones that are paying more, they're getting more from you. and so it's it's a really beautiful exchange. So it sounds like you're totally aligned. Tell me the difference about planning for Sedona, which, by the way, I'm really glad to hear that you at least went and visited the spot before you hosted there. Brent 00:16:33  So yeah. Shannon  00:16:33  Yeah, that really helps. And anybody who's listening, if you're planning a retreat and you've never been there, you've I'm telling you, you've got to make a site visit. It just makes all the difference in the world. and it just really does. But tell me the difference is in planning. Shannon  00:16:47  Now, your second retreat with a different location. like, what are some things that have come up for you in this process? Brent 00:16:54  Yeah, absolutely. I mean, what's nice now is I kind of know the recipe, right? Like, I kept everything the same. Like I'm looking like on my monitor to my right. Has everything written out different? Tabs on the worksheet. I know exactly what I'm looking at. And I've built this. I mean, you don't get to where. Not that I was, like, super high up, but like, you don't achieve success in air in corporate unless you know how to be a business partner, which means working with operations leaders, figuring out how to, you know, make money with the people. You have those kind of things. So when I looked at this and I'm like, okay, well, then I know what I need. I mean, I've done this with entrepreneurs, I've done this with fortune 500 companies. I need to do this for myself and in some ways kind of put myself in check, too, like if I'm dreaming, like I had a conversation with someone and they're like, oh, we're going to do this, and then we're going to have affiliate marketing and this and that. Brent 00:17:43  And I'm like, hang on a second. Like, let's get let's get up on our two feet first before we start thinking about this. You know, I love the energy, but let's just, you know, little reality check. so, you know, when I look at this now, I've got this the recipe. At the same time, I've been to Austin like 3 or 4 times in the last year, year and a half. So like, I'm familiar with where I want to go, I know that I don't want to take everybody out on sixth Street. If I want them to stay sober and have a really good, you know, experience besides having like a party until way late and feeling hungover. Right? So, yes, you know, so I know the spots where I want to go, you know, I know I knew the type of hotel we wanted to stay at. And so this time, it's a lot easier because I've been there, you know, and now and as I build into next year, I'm going to have several other retreats. Brent 00:18:31  And in some of these areas I've not been. So I look at it as it's an investment now I need to get out there. I need to to move and shake. I need to talk to people. You know, I've got three trips this summer to go to different places because I so firmly believe that that there's an energetic calling for this type of work, that it's just a matter of like where and when and how. So that how has become a lot easier now that I've gone through the one. Shannon  00:18:58  How, yes, yes to all of that. Well, We'll tell our listeners. Who is your ideal guest? And then tell us about your upcoming retreat. Brent 00:19:06  Absolutely. Thank you. So the ideal guest is obviously a man. it could be anywhere. you know, typically what I've seen, you know, in this last retreat was anywhere from their, their early 40s to their mid 60s, you know. for me, it doesn't really matter if the the key of what I look for is, are you at a crossroads in your life? Do you know that you want something different? Do you know what that is? And maybe it's just that you're not sure of how to get there. Brent 00:19:32  And if that's the case, then you're my ideal client. Because what I look at is, you know, I have a balance. I, I don't get super woo woo because especially as men, we don't typically want to get into that woo woo space. And you know, and I should also add that my ideal client is somebody who really hasn't been in this space before, that they haven't been to a retreat before. If they have been, maybe it's in a corporate background. So now what I'm doing is I'm giving them some of the neuroscience behind And change some of the things that have been found over the last ten, 15 years as it relates to meditation and breathwork, and then also tying that into a little bit of the woo woo just to get, you know, dab their dab their toes in it a little bit, but not shock the nervous system to. Shannon  00:20:15  Love. Brent 00:20:16  It. I don't want them walking out going like I'm never doing this again. You know I want. Shannon 00:20:20  I love it. Brent 00:20:21  You'll walk around, you know, walk out saying like, you know what? It was the the best balance of of opportunity. I learned some things. I tried some new things. And as a result, this is what's happened for me. Shannon  00:20:31  I love it. Awesome. So when is your next retreat? We know it's in Austin. When is that happening? Brent 00:20:37  Yeah, it's October 23rd through 26th of this year. and yeah, we're going to kick off. We're going to stay at this beautiful hotel just in the hill country, about 20 minutes south of Austin. and then we're going to kick off, like I said, ziplining all the fun stuff there. But more importantly than anything, we're going to have a strong sense of community. We're going to have anywhere from 8 to 12 guys that are going to get together, you know, from all over the country and they're here to. To better themselves. They're here to get through whatever's been blocking them. And that, to me is the most important part, is that transformation truly happens when you get people that are looking for it and are hungry enough to to sit at the table and see what happens. Brent 00:21:18  So I'm very excited for it. I think it's going to be incredible. Shannon  00:21:21  Well, hell yes Brent, all of that information will be linked in the show notes, so please check it out and share it with someone who you think might really benefit from this, because I can tell from the website, from your history, and from your energy that this is going to be an incredible retreat. So thank you so much, Brent, for sharing your history, your lessons, and your upcoming offerings. It is so appreciated. Brent 00:21:43  Thank you Shan, I really appreciate the opportunity.

Description: In this new podcast, Dr. Jordan explains how the molting process of blue crabs is similar to the vulnerability adolescent girls feel as they experience changes due to puberty, attention from boys, cultural mixed messages, and pressures from school and activities. Using metaphors from fairy tales, Dr. Jordan will show you the inward-directed heroine's journey girls traverse as they overcome obstacles and challenges to embrace their strength, courage, hope, and resolve in order to be ready to face adulthood.Resources:Dr. Jordan's previous related podcast: Follow the Yellow Brick Road: What Dorothy Can Teach Teen GirlsDr. Jordan's previous related podcast: Moana, Dorothy, and Rey: The heroine's journey models how girls can thrive during adolescenceCamp Weloki: safe place to be heard, learn, increase self-awareness, learn important life skills, connect more deeply with peers and learn from each other.My favorite book on what fairy tales have to teach us about girls and women: Spinning Straw Into Gold, Joan GouldJoin Our Community:https://www.facebook.com/DrTimJordanhttps://www.instagram.com/drtimjordan/https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-jordan-md-79799120b/

AI chatbots, trained to be overly agreeable, have unintentionally become catalysts for psychological crises by validating users' grandiose or delusional beliefs. Vulnerable individuals can spiral into dangerous fantasy feedback loops, mistaking chatbot sycophancy for scientific validation. As AI models evolve through user reinforcement, they amplify these distorted beliefs, creating serious mental health and public safety … Continue reading How AI Chatbots Amplify Delusion and Distort Reality #1840 → The post How AI Chatbots Amplify Delusion and Distort Reality #1840 appeared first on Geek News Central.

Send us a textThis week's solo episode arrives later than planned, and in a very different way than I expected. On Monday, I recorded a beautiful conversation with a guest, only to have the entire recording lost when my computer ran out of disk space. Then, just a day later, I had surgery—and because of the intubation, I lost my voice. Rather than waiting until things felt polished and back to normal, I decided to show up as I am: softer, tender, and imperfect.In this solo reflection, I share about the importance of self-love and compassion during life's messier seasons. Vulnerability is often misunderstood as weakness, but in truth, it is the essence of authenticity. When things fall apart and we allow ourselves to be seen in that raw, human place, we not only create a deeper connection with others—we also give ourselves permission to rest in our own humanness.This episode is an invitation to let go of perfection, to welcome support when you need it, and to know that showing up—even shakily or a little late—is more than enough. May this conversation remind you that your worth is never dependent on “holding it all together,” but on the courage to be real,30-minute Consultation with Andrea https://www.andreaatherton.com/booking-calendarAndrea Atherton Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/Love Anarchy Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/podcasthttps://loveanarchypodcast.buzzsprout.comLove Anarchy Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/loveanarchypodcast/Andrea Atherton Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/andreaatherton-17/

Length: 11 minutes People often believe that if a Christian sins, that leaves them susceptible to the Devil, to bring trouble or sickness into your life. While I don't agree with sin, if that is true, none of us have any surety of protection. The Way God Fixes The Sin Problem It is true that […]

Peter Grandich, veteran of 40+ years on Wall Street, delivers his most dire warning yet, saying he's more concerned than during the 1987 crash, dot-com bubble, or 2008 financial crisis due to deteriorating political, social, and economic conditions. He describes a dangerous "K-economy" where the top 10% own 86% of assets while the bottom 50% use credit cards for basic necessities, creating fertile ground for socialist candidates. Grandich warns markets are in a final melt-up phase driven by passive investing and computer trading, with no political cohesion to address the next crisis. He favors gold and international stocks over US equities, predicts Trump's trade war will accelerate de-dollarization, and expects Fed rate cuts won't help if long-term rates stay elevated due to massive deficit spending.Sponsor: Monetary Metals. https://monetary-metals.com/julia Timestamps: 0:00 Welcome and intro1:12 Big picture outlook - fourth time in 42-year career being this concerned3:04 K-economy explained - top 10% own 86% of assets, bottom 50% struggling6:53 Market structure changed - passive investing and computer trading dominate11:46 Trade war concerns - big stick vs olive branch approach12:58 Fed rate cuts coming but long-term rates may stay higher17:58 Significance of rate dynamics - mortgages tied to long-term rates21:26 1987 crash call - how he got the "Wiz Kid" nickname22:45 More concerned than ever - political, social, economic factors all worse26:12 Socialist candidates emerging - wealth inequality driving politics28:26 CPI manipulation - removing long-term care costs from index32:36 Investment allocation - favoring gold and international stocks34:28 Gold thesis - not early anymore but still has upside35:27 Critical minerals shortage - AI needs metals we don't have38:07 Faith-based perspective - Catholic faith guides decisions41:33 Trade war will backfire - accelerating de-dollarizationLinks: https://x.com/PeterGrandichhttps://petergrandich.com/https://www.amazon.com/Confessions-FORMER-Wall-Street-Whiz/dp/B096LPRYW6

Gov. Tina Kotek’s office released an analysis this week detailing how much money Oregon stands to lose in federal funding. The state could lose more than $15 billion it uses to pay for health care and food assistance programs and a whole lot more. But Republicans have a different take: It’s not the big beautiful bill that’s going to hit Oregon’s economy, it’s the overtaxing of Oregonians that is hurting the working class. On the latest episode of OPB Politics Now, reporters Dirk VanderHart and Lauren Dake discuss the latest.   

After working as a youth counsellor, Canadian rapper TOBi has continued to uplift people through his motivational lyrics. Now, TOBi is releasing his new album Elements No. 2, which has been five years in the making. Q guest host Garvia Bailey talks to TOBi about how he learned to be vulnerable in his songwriting, why he writes for Black boys just like him, and how his work with social services influenced his worldview.

Description:  In Part 2 of this episode, we push even deeper — into the personal, the creative, the brave, and the sometimes scary places we go when we dare to  tell the truth. This time, Tyler Merritt has turned the tables on Jen and he's asking the questions!  We talk about what it's like to be seen, judged, misunderstood — and still choose honesty. We talk about Awake and the vulnerability involved with retelling the painful and unvarnished parts of your story. We talk about fear. And we talk about the joy we've found in the middle of it all. So let's jump back in. In this second installment: Jen talks about the last time that she felt truly brave and what it felt like to unearth and expose some of the most tender and personal moments of her life in such an honest and examining way Tyler asks Jen who was her best model of kindness at a young age Jen shares the song that is reflecting her current vibe in the world And Tyler asks Jen what she wishes more people understood about her Thought-provoking Quotes: "Our stories, though they may seem new, are the things that change the world." - Jen Hatmaker “What I asked myself when deciding to include or exclude something was, am I going to be proud of this five years from now? So that's five years further down the road. I'm going to be five years more mature, five years more healed, five more years of distance. Will I be proud of what I say five years from now? And I let that be my guide.” – Jen Hatmaker “It's been weird to be at that center of people's judgment for quite a long time now.  I've evolved a lot in the public eye, which is weird for everybody. It's weird for me. It's weird for people to watch. At all points along the way, I can say sincerely, I have really and truly been trying to do my best. I just wish people knew that.” – Jen Hatmaker “My story is not special and I think that's what makes it important. I hope that the readers will see their own story inside of it somewhere in some way on some level and then decide to take from mine what they need for theirs. So I can't wait to find out.” – Jen Hatmaker Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Depoe Bay, Oregon – https://visittheoregoncoast.com/cities/depoe-bay/ Awake: A Memoir by Jen Hatmaker - https://amzn.to/40MYuXs Jen shares the first line from Awake – https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMrDdj4sCaQ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=ZzdzZGdvM3h5Mmd6 This Changes Everything: A Surprisingly Funny Story About Race, Cancer, Faith, and Other Things We Don't Talk About by Tyler Merritt – https://amzn.to/4m135Oj Brené Brown – https://brenebrown.com/ Before You Call The Cops by The Tyler Merritt Project – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGu_xGBekpo I Take My Coffee Black: Reflections on Tupac, Musical Theater, Faith, and Being Black in America by Tyler Merritt – https://amzn.to/47by9Gf Luna Sea Fish House in Yachats, Oregon – https://www.lunaseafishhouse.com/ Buy My Own Drinks by Runaway June – https://open.spotify.com/track/40p6WybX0YvcLdMlLja3oL A Door Made for Me by Tyler Merritt – https://amzn.to/4mv4jBd A Long December by Counting Crows - https://open.spotify.com/track/1tjKIXd7DYNklhVSgBxREi Guest's Links: Website - https://thetylermerrittproject.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thetylermerrittproject/ Twitter - https://x.com/ttmproject Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/thetylermerrittproject Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPB48_JfK-VMnYQPTYyMX5Q Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.

WOW this is such a deeply personal and vulnerable story but honestly, this podcast isn't about me. It's about bringing powerful, impactful messages to those who need to hear it - with the intention to help even if that means feeling uncomfortable in the delivery at times. I want to disclaim, this episode is NOT going to be for everyone! We are diving into complex topics of inner child healing, reparenting, deep meditation, energy work, and somatic therapy. I recently had such a powerful meditation that was so healing and transformative and I wanted to share the story and technique with you. If you have a deep seeded trauma or limiting belief that seems to continue to run your life no matter how hard you try to talk or think your way through it, this may just be the solution you were looking for. These traumatic emotions and events live within our body and if we don't ever truly clear them, they will continue to resurface just like a weed if you never take the root out of the ground. Today I walk you through my meditative experience as well as give you a step by step guide to go on this journey yourself. This practice is applicable to so many situations but for me, I was focusing on my fear around life long commitment and marriage. .Thailand Wellness Retreat // https://trovatrip.com/trip/asia/thailand/thailand-with-olivia-catania-nov-2025.Timestamps:0:30 Disclaimer2:40 Gratitude4:20 Somatic Therapy11:50 Meditation Storytime35:15 Process Summary.WATCH ON YOUTUBE // https://www.youtube.com/@livfiitlistens/videos.Shop my favorite books here // https://www.amazon.com/shop/livfiit?listId=20MNY4GGY77KN*This is my affiliated Amazon Storefront.

Billions in U.S. foreign aid for HIV, AIDS, and other global health programs remain frozen after a divided federal appeals court backed the Trump administration's hold. The decision sidestepped a larger constitutional question, while a dissent warned the ruling undermines Congress' spending power. Vulnerable communities abroad now face uncertainty.

Fungal networks in the soil are arguably the basis of much of life on Earth, but they're understudied and underappreciated in the conservation world. Scientists at the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks (SPUN) are trying to fix that. They just unveiled a global map of mycorrhizal fungal networks, which highlights how widespread they are and how little protection they have. Host Flora Lichtman talks with two of the SPUN mapmakers, Adriana Corrales and Michael Van Nuland, about the importance of fungal networks and why they need more protection.Guests: Dr. Adriana Corrales is a forest ecologist and scientist with the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks. She's based in Bogotá, Colombia.Dr. Michael Van Nuland is an ecologist and scientist with the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks.

"To be vulnerable means to allow the winds of life to blow freely over your soul—to let life in, on life's terms." – Dr. Maria Nemeth

Depending on your immigration status, travel can be a stressful event in these times. So if your status is vulnerable, what should you know about how to travel safely?

Another epic live stream from our Democracy in Tension summit! Aaron Simmons and I dive deep with theologian and community organizer Aaron Staufer about how sacred values and vulnerability shape our political life together. We wrestle with the big questions y'all have been sending in - can mainline churches recover a compelling sense of the sacred while staying committed to critical thinking? How do we navigate prophetic witness without falling into the therapeutic Christianity trap? And why does good theology always seem to come with absolutely terrible music? Aaron drops some serious wisdom about radical democracy, relational power, and why humans are lovers who care deeply about things. We get into the weeds about vulnerability, value, organizing, and whether multiculturalism can actually work in practice. Plus, we tackle the hard stuff - what happens when someone's sacred values make them unreasonable participants in democracy? It's theology, politics, philosophy, and a healthy dose of complaining about boring mainline Protestant worship. Grab your favorite beverage and settle in for some real talk about faith, power, and building beloved community.

“Strength without allowing support often becomes self-abandonment.” Have you ever found yourself being the one everyone leans on, the strong one, the steady one, the one who always shows up? You're the rock, the caretaker, the leader. But beneath the surface, there's a quiet ache. A deep fatigue. A part of you is wondering, “When is it my turn to be held?” In this episode of Soul Talk, I open up about the hidden cost of strength. From my early years as the son of a healer and spiritual leader, to the emotional weight I carried as a child, I share how becoming the “strong one” became my identity, and how it nearly kept me from truly healing. We dive into the psychology of hyper-independence, the nervous system's response to unmet childhood needs, and why so many of us find it easier to give than to receive. This episode is a wake-up call for the silent warriors, the ones who show up for everyone but struggle to let anyone show up for them. Tune into this episode and learn how to release the pressure to be everything for everyone, reconnect to your own needs, and open your heart to receiving the love and support you deserve. True strength isn't about carrying it all alone. It's about being human. Vulnerable. Seen. You were never meant to do this life by yourself, and you don't have to anymore. Timestamps: (00:04:36) - Kute's early life as the “emotional caretaker” (00:05:35) - The role of the strong one: survival vs. choice (00:07:36) - Childhood roots of emotional independence (00:09:02) - Why it's hard to receive: control, vulnerability, and trauma (00:11:56) - The praise trap: being rewarded for not needing (00:13:07) -  What it costs to carry the load alone (00:15:57) -  Healing through love: Kute's personal shift (00:17:42) - Practical steps to open up and receive support (00:18:45) - Let yourself be helped and supported by the Divine (00:21:08) - A request: check in on someone strong in your life (00:22:04) - You're allowed to receive, because you're human Some questions I ask: Why do we struggle to ask for help? What childhood roles or dynamics shape our hyper-independence? How does being strong all the time become self-abandonment? Why is receiving sometimes more vulnerable than giving? What small steps can we take to invite support into our lives? In this episode, you will learn about: Why constantly being the “strong one” can lead to hidden emotional exhaustion How childhood roles and early emotional conditioning shape your ability to receive love and support The surprising ways hyper-independence is actually a coping mechanism rooted in trauma How to recognize the unconscious beliefs that make asking for help feel unsafe or weak Why receiving is not a weakness, but a courageous act of trust, vulnerability, and healing Practical ways to soften your defenses, open your heart, and invite support into your life How allowing yourself to be supported transforms not only your relationships, but your entire capacity to thrive   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.

Debbie Deem joins Dr. Sandie Morgan to discuss how transnational fraud predators are stealing billions from older adults and the intersection between financial crimes and human trafficking. Debbie Deem Debbie Deem is a retired FBI victim specialist with over 40 years of experience serving crime victims. She's currently an elder justice victim advocate, specializing in transnational fraud crimes and she serves as co-facilitator for the National Adult Protective Services Association Fraud Forum. She helped start the Victim Assistance Programs at the US Attorney's Office in both San Francisco and Los Angeles, where in the early to mid-1990s she discovered what we now call human trafficking victims and was assisting those victims while also working with financial crime victims. After moving to the FBI in 2003, she began focusing on older victims of lottery, sweepstakes, and romance frauds, gravitating toward the most underserved victims throughout her career. Key Points Financial fraud against older adults is now the most common crime happening around the world, with $4.9 billion reported stolen from Americans 60 and older in 2024 alone, representing a 33% increase from the previous year. The Federal Trade Commission estimates that close to $160 billion per year is stolen from all Americans due to fraud crimes, making this a massive underreported crisis. Language matters when discussing fraud victims - using terms like "defrauded" instead of "scammed" helps maintain victim dignity and reduces blame, similar to how language evolved in human trafficking advocacy. Common fraud types include romance frauds using stolen military or celebrity images, crypto investment frauds starting with innocent text messages, lottery/sweepstakes frauds, tech support impersonations, and phantom hacking where criminals impersonate bank security. Victims experience trauma bonds and love bombing similar to human trafficking victims, making it extremely difficult to recognize they're being manipulated even when red flags are present. The neuroscience behind financial fraud shows that brain chemistry and excitement responses make these relationships feel authentic to victims, requiring neuropsychologists and medical professionals to help explain what's happening. System failures are widespread - in one case study, a victim lost $380,000 but police didn't respond, banks didn't file required Adult Protective Services reports, and victim services provided no meaningful support. Crypto ATMs have become "fraud machines" found in gas stations and small stores, though California now limits transactions to $1,000 per day, causing criminals to evolve to using couriers and other methods. Prevention strategies include not answering unknown phone calls, getting scam warning apps, sharing personal fraud experiences with family members rather than lecturing, and establishing trusted contacts on all financial accounts. Revictimization occurs through recovery scams where criminals impersonate law enforcement agencies claiming they can help recover stolen funds, and through tax obligations on money withdrawn from retirement accounts even when it was stolen. The crime creates long-term devastation including bankruptcy, homelessness, suicide ideation, and forcing elderly victims back into the workforce after losing life savings. This field is where human trafficking advocacy was 20 years ago - needing widespread recognition, proper terminology, victim services, and systemic responses to address the crisis effectively.

President Donald Trump is “furious” about his inability to make the Jeffrey Epstein scandal go away, Politico reports. He's frustrated with his staff's failure to tamp down the uproar, which continues to consume his base, and his allies are admitting this has become major problem, with one telling Politico that Trump understands that “this is a vulnerability.” This comes amid new reports that Attorney General Pam Bondi and her deputy privately informed Trump earlier this year that his name appears numerous times in the Epstein files, suggesting this story will get worse. We talked to media strategist Tara McGowan, the publisher of the pro-democracy Courier Newsroom. We discuss why this scandal is dispelling the myth of Trump's superhuman control over media narratives, how Democrats must seize this moment, and why they should treat this scandal as a genuinely important story that really matters to many Americans.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?
