In this Q&A-style episode, Hillary sits down with Ashlee - a 3/5 projector, close friend, and the biggest support behind her business - to unpack a concept that's been resonating deeply on tour: making the small things big. Recorded during Virgo eclipse season, when opponent voices tend to be loudest, this conversation is about learning to notice the quiet, minimized stories running in the background of daily life - the ones we dismiss as "not a big deal" - and recognizing them as the actual root of our biggest patterns.Hillary and Ashlee trace how "small" stories (people-pleasing, seeking approval, minimizing accomplishments) quietly shape major life outcomes, and why awareness alone can shift as much as 50% of the pattern.The conversation moves into distinguishing intuition from the opponent voice - both of which "sound like you" - and why intuition never asks for proof, while the opponent always offers a reason not to act.

We can't wait to experience miracles with you! Welcome to a new episode of the Future Generations podcast! In this powerful episode, we're joined by Dr. Jess Peatross, a former board-certified internal medicine hospitalist who walked away from pharma-driven medicine. Speaking live on stage, Dr. Jess shares her journey from a preacher's daughter in West Virginia to a hospitalist bound by cookbook medicine, the research and Gerson Therapy training she says opened her eyes, and the chart note that ended her hospital career. She walks through her work writing vaccine exemptions in San Diego and the medical board's push to open children's records, then lays out her five ways to turn sick care into true healthcare: treating the body as a whole, moving beyond labels, looking for health, rethinking pathogens, and restoring genuine informed consent. This is a call for unity, and a reminder that nobody knows your body better than you. Highlights: "I used to go to work with a Jimmy Dean's breakfast sandwich and a Diet Mountain Dew and tell people how to get healthy." "When you have a constellation of symptoms, your body is screaming that something is wrong. Your body never lies." "We have to wake them up to change the healthcare system, and we can't do that through division. We have to do that through unity and kindness and love." "Informed consent means the good, the bad, and the ugly of any medical procedure, of any drug, of anything in conventional medicine." "Ain't nobody knows the body better than you in your body. I am a mere vessel and guide to help you come back to yourself, and that's what every doctor should be."

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Rashmeet talks with Rush Simonson, Chairman and CEO of Juvent, about why so many modern bodies have gone quietly under-stimulated after years of sitting, scrolling, and wearing impact-shielding footwear. Rush explains the science behind mechanotransduction, the physiologic signal generated when the heel strikes the ground, and how that signal supports lymphatic drainage, immune function, and the production of mesenchymal stem cells that play a role in joint, nerve, bone, and blood vessel repair. The conversation moves through the everyday, easy-to-miss signs that a body has been under-stimulated, from afternoon energy crashes to joints that take longer to recover, and how Juvent's micro-impact platform is designed as a natural analog to barefoot walking for people who cannot easily get two to five miles of barefoot movement into their day. Rush also touches on the gut-brain connection, consistency over intensity, and the importance of moderation and checking with a physician before starting any new movement practice. About the Guest: Rush Simonson is the Chairman and CEO of Juvent, a regenerative technologies company that makes the Juvent Micro-Impact Platform, a device designed to emulate the natural mechanical signals the body receives from barefoot walking. Juvent's platform has been studied in clinical research, including a trial examining bone density improvements in cancer survivors, and the company has been recognized on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies. Key Takeaways: Modern footwear and sedentary habits often shield the body from the natural heel-strike impact it needs, a physiologic signal called mechanotransduction that the body relies on for several important functions. Mechanotransduction supports lymphatic drainage, which plays a major role in immune function and clearing waste products that can otherwise contribute to inflammation and affect mood. Regular impact signaling is linked to the production of mesenchymal stem cells, which are involved in joint, nerve, bone, and blood vessel repair processes in the body. Under-stimulation of the body often shows up in subtle ways, such as afternoon energy crashes, slower recovery, and joint stiffness, rather than a dramatic single event. A realistic starting point is walking even one mile a day in non-impact-shielding footwear, such as barefoot-style shoes or sandals, rather than committing to a major exercise overhaul. Consistency over six to eight weeks matters more than intensity, and it is important to avoid overdoing impact exercise and to check with a physician before starting, especially for anyone with an existing health condition.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode I share the intense period when the Supramental Force (SAT Force) began descending and repeatedly pulled me into deep Samadhi — multiple times every day, often for 60–90 minutes at a time.This was completely different from Kundalini or Shaktipat.The force came from above, had its own intelligence, and did not negotiate. It would take me at work, on the sofa with the children, or during formal meditation. There was no choice but to surrender.I describe:• How the force first appeared after the intensive with Sat Shree• The two distinct types of Samadhi it produced (Savikalpa and Nirvikalpa)• What it actually felt like when it entered the system• How daily life had to rearrange itself around these absorptions• The deeper purpose of this force on the pathThis was one of the most powerful and beautiful phases of the entire journey.

Wake up at 4am. Hustle harder. Say yes to everything. Fuck that. This episode is the replay of Leonie's Unhinged Productivity Hacks webinar, and it's the anti-bro-marketing guide to getting your shit done without wrecking your body, your brain or your family time. Sixteen million dollars in revenue, hundreds of workshops, 3,000+ articles, all in 10 to 20 hours a week. Here's how.If you've tried every productivity system and ended up feeling like the broken one, this one's for you. If you're a creative, a caregiver, neurodivergent, or living in a body that runs on cycles instead of a straight line, most productivity advice was never built for you. Leonie hands you a wild, unhinged menu of possibilities instead of a prescription.TOPICS COVEREDWhy mainstream productivity advice fails mothers, caregivers, creatives and neurodivergent folksWorking with your energy seasons, hormonal cycles and life eras instead of against themPrimitive reflex integration and how it expanded Leonie's nervous system capacityProtein, supplements and medication as brain supportAccountability, body doubling and "sparkle time"The Take Action Club and how it's built around all of thisKEY INSIGHTSUnless a task makes you money, is promised to a client, or is legally required, it's optional. Cross it off without guilt.Pareto's principle in practice: 20% of your tasks create 80% of your results. Find the 20% and put your energy there.Every yes has an opportunity cost. Leonie has said no to conferences, travel, 95% of networking and most podcast invites, and it's why she has spaciousness.Playing dead is a legitimate strategy. You don't owe everyone a reply.Consistency is a myth for cyclical bodies. Plan gentler days around your cycle and treat fallow periods as integration, not failure.Unresolved primitive reflexes keep your startle response firing all day. Resolving them took Leonie from "nonverbal after a one-day event" to four hours of calls a day.Sleep is non-negotiable. Sacrificing it shrinks your brain capacity and messes with your hormones.Sparkle time (an hour a week doing something that lights you up) is a calendar item, not a treat.Body doubling works online too. Add another body to the room and the thing you've dreaded for weeks gets done in 15 minutes.Sharing your task list publicly is rocket fuel. It's why Leonie pre-sells her courses and books before they exist.NOTABLE QUOTES"Most productivity advice is written by white, able-bodied, neurotypical men who are not primary caregivers. They're either single or they've got a fucking wife." "Unless it makes me money, unless it's something I've already committed to deliver for my clients, or unless it's something the government requires of me, the rest can just go fuck itself." "So often the way to speed up is to slow down."ABOUT YOUR HOSTS!Leonie Dawson is a multi award-winning entrepreneur who has created over $16 million in revenue in part-time hours.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show once again - two incredible warriors for truth, exposure, and healing for all survivors - especially in their home of Israel: CEO of Bereshit Magazine, Independent journalist and researcher, and podcast host, Daniel Sharon, and ritual abuse survivor and advocate, social worker and lecturer, Yael ArielA little bit about Daniel, Yael and their journey's together:In the ancient, storied heart of Jerusalem, where the weight of history presses against the soul of every inhabitant, a young man named Daniel Sharon came of age amid the vibrant pulse of a city that has witnessed empires rise and fall. Now in his 30's, Daniel once stood as an officer in the IDF's elite tank unit, navigating the chaos and moral quagmire of conflict in Gaza a decade ago. The raw human cost of war awakened something profound within him - an unshakable disillusionment that compelled him to step away from military service and toward a path of deeper introspection and purpose. Then came the global upheaval of COVID, a catalyst that stripped away illusions and unveiled what he describes as the horrific truths embedded in the systems governing our world. Guided by synchronicities and inspired by the bold voices of truth-seekers, Daniel discovered his calling as CEO of Bereshit - Hebrew for Genesis - a magazine born as a defiant answer to the fear-driven narratives flooding mainstream media. In a landscape choked by silence and control, Bereshit rose as a beacon for truth, free speech, and human rights. In 2023, Daniel shattered barriers by publishing Israel's first major article on ritual abuse, a courageous act that ignited both fierce controversy and life-changing connection. It was in this fearless pursuit that Daniel's path crossed with Yael, a fierce social worker, lecturer, and survivor of ritual abuse whose own journey radiates extraordinary resilience. Having endured unimaginable trauma that fractured her early life, Yael transformed her pain into profound purpose. She co-produced two groundbreaking conferences dedicated to healing complex trauma, becoming a sought-after lecturer on dissociation and complex PTSD, her voice ringing with clarity, compassion, and unyielding strength. Since 2022, she has fearlessly shared her story on Facebook—one of the few ritual abuse survivors in Israel bold enough to speak publicly. Her courage has drawn dozens of others from the shadows, forging a growing network of survivors united in their mission to raise awareness and foster healing. Together, Daniel and Yael have become an unstoppable force of light against darkness. Their collaboration gave birth to a pioneering Hebrew-language website dedicated to exposing and understanding ritual abuse - a vital resource that, alongside Daniel's groundbreaking Bereshit article and a pivotal investigative piece, ignited a national conversation long suppressed by fear and denial. Rooted in shared conviction, deep friendship and love, their partnership blends Daniel's strategic vision and journalistic precision with Yael's empathetic advocacy and lived wisdom. Through Bereshit, Daniel's new podcast, Yael's advocacy for fellow survivors, and their relentless activism, they are rewriting Israel's narrative: replacing fear with truth, silence with solidarity, and trauma with hope.

Waking with a dry, sticky mouth is common after 40, but persistent dry mouth is not a normal part of aging. Jay explains how medications, mouth breathing, sleep apnea, CPAP, dehydration, and several health conditions can reduce nighttime comfort and increase the risk of cavities or oral infections. Learn what to track, which simple remedies may help, why mouth taping is not the default answer, and when to involve a dentist, clinician, pharmacist, or sleep professional.
This week, we're pouring the tea and unpacking three listener stories that belong on reality TV. First up: what do you do when you wake up naked in a guy's bed, only for his supposedly "ex" girlfriend to walk through the bedroom door? Then, a dreamy summer romance is completely shattered by a wild family secret, and a little brother drops the ultimate bomb at a quiet family dinner: an affair with the au pair. Somehow this sends us down a rabbit hole about beauty appointment panic attacks, nepo babies, and whether everything in pop culture is just a copy of a copy.

Episode SummaryOto sits down with Derrick Broze — independent investigative journalist, documentary filmmaker, and founder of The Conscious Resistance Network — for a conversation that starts in a Texas state prison and ends with 23 acres in the mountains of central Mexico.Derrick's awakening didn't begin with Ron Paul or the Federal Reserve. It began the week before he turned 21, when he was arrested for possession of crystal meth and went on to serve 18 months. He walks Oto through what losing everything taught him, how a library book on cannabis history cracked open his first real questions about the drug war, and how a decade of journalism led to his YouTube channel being deleted in October 2020 with 76,000 subscribers.From there they dig into the pyramid of power, the parasite class and its relationship to addiction, and where blockchain genuinely serves freedom versus where tokenization becomes a control grid.The back half is the part worth staying for. Derrick lays out exit and build — his answer to people who consume doom and call it awareness — including the Conscious Agora eco-village he's spent five years assembling, the Freedom Cells network that grew from 2,000 to 40,000 people during COVID, and his rewrite of the World Economic Forum's own essay: Welcome to 2030.

Prison and hitting bottom came first; the Federal Reserve and Ron Paul came after. His work has always been the intersection of internal and external freedom.His YouTube channel was deleted in October 2020 for an interview that YouTube said conflicted with World Health Organization standards. It was restored in mid-2025 with videos and thousands of subscribers missing, and has not moved from 74K since.On blockchain he refuses both camps. He calls himself a "freedom maxi" — the technology is a tool, the World Economic Forum's vision for tokenization is not the same as a private crypto that keeps you out of the banking system, and collapsing the two is a failure of nuance.His central challenge: plenty of people monetize your fear and never offer a solution, because doom scrolling is the business model. If you don't want their 2030, what's yours? Write it down.The Conscious Agora is six households on 23 acres outside Morelia, paid off in January 2025 without a bank — partly in crypto — with a vetting process currently open for three more.LEARN MORE / CONNECTThe Conscious Resistance: https://theconsciousresistance.com A Man of My Word: https://amanofmyword.com The Pyramid of Power: https://thepyramidofpower.net Freedom Cells: https://freedomcells.orgCONNECT WITH OTO: Instagram – https://instagram.com/otogomes Website – https://otogomes.live(For educational and entertainment purposes only.

Welcome back to Trudge Report Podcast. Thank you for your support of the show. This week we go around the horn. Dan is in Connecticut where some somber family news gives way to some cherished moments and teaching opportunities. Greg gets VIP treatment at the Cleveland Guardians (don't call them Indians) game. Corey gets down and dirty in the yard and discovers a Florida cheese steak that rivals Philly. The recovery segment surrounds memorable experiences and events that each of us encountered in our early sobriety or first few years. We look back and recap those time situations and remember how vital to our early sobriety and long-term recovery they were. We go down memory lane. Not all of these occurrences were good or positive at first sight but we learned and conquered fears going through them. Looking back we realize they were just what we needed. On the back half of the show we have NFL season preview. We are all passionate about the sport and our teams. We go around and each of us give our take on a big storyline for the upcoming season and then we each have a turn talking about why our respective favorite teams are going to be awesome or are going to stink.“Letting go isn't about having the courage to release the past, it's about having the wisdom to embrace the present.” -Steve MaraboliDon't forget to like, share, rate, and download the podcast on all of your listening platforms.

Thom's Nutshell: "Self-denial results in dependence. Self-acceptance creates independence." Waking up is a process, not an event. A road back to our true lost selves. Daniel Fulop-Furlano joins Allen to talk about his journey towards emotional sobriety, which began with the “Divided Sky” rehab retreat in Ludlow, Vermont. Dan's book, “Sincerely, Delusional,” is a testament to both the sincerity of his delusion (which we also call “sleepwalking”), and the capacity, beginning with an earnest asking for help, that he's built brick by brick as a person courageously exposing and addressing his deep set dependencies.

Waking Up: Our Vision - Pastor Hannah Witte - a2cc.org. Watch our livestream Sundays @ 11:00am - vimeo.com/annarborcommunitychurch Summary: What happens when we move through life—or even our faith—on autopilot? What does it cost us? Others? In Ephesians, we're invited to wake up to God's presence and the beautiful vision God has been unfolding for centuries: a people being transformed by Jesus, learning to belong to one another across differences, and living with freedom, joy, and boundless generosity. Pastor Hannah explores how we can move from simply going through the motions to becoming more awake to what God is already doing in us, among us, and around us. There are several directions we're heading as a church community to press into our vision and move toward God's dreams together this year. We'd love for you to take a step with us toward becoming all God made us to be.

Ever think you should've had your big spiritual awakening by now? The one moment that everything is crystal clear? That's not how it works. Tracy's been on this path for over 30 years, and she still wakes up almost daily to something new. Some of it she's happy about. Some of it, not so much. Being highly sensitive as a kid meant she absorbed things that were never hers to carry, and spent years believing something was wrong with her because she couldn't find the flaw that she was told she possessed. This episode gets into three things she's learned along the way: what isn't yours will keep weighing on you until you name it as separate, growth isn't a hierarchy but an uncovering, and a decision made from self-love looks nothing like one made from fear.

Description: Bitcoin's recent rally has a crypto short squeeze and President Trump's commentary on the Clarity Act to thank, says Gracy Chen. She's not convinced cryptocurrencies have reentered a bull market. She explains what needs to happen to ensure confidence the rally will last. Dom Kwok says more institutional backing adds that confidence, making the case it expands the foundation for bulls to hold current levels. As he explains, traditional finance is "finally waking up" to cryptocurrencies. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Waking Up at 3am — Anxiety Relief to Get You Back to Sleep | Extended Exhale Breathing Waking up at 3am with anxiety is one of the loneliest experiences there is — your eyes open on their own, your heart is faster than it should be for someone lying perfectly still, and your mind has already found the one unfinished thought it saved up especially for now. This 10-minute guided meditation is built for exactly that hour. Martin explains why it happens: there is a small, ordinary rise in cortisol in the early hours meant to get your body ready for morning, and when you're anxious that rise arrives a little louder and wakes you. It isn't a warning. It isn't a sign. It's chemistry arriving early. From there the session uses extended exhale breathing — a gentle breath in, a brief pause, and an out-breath always longer than the in — because breathing out directly, mechanically slows your heart rate. It's the simplest somatic tool there is, and the one that works best lying down in the dark, when you don't want to count hard or hold anything. A warm light at the centre of the chest, gentle affirmations for sleep anxiety and insomnia relief, and three practical caring tips follow. If you drift off partway through, that's the point — let the voice fade.

What If You're Not Starting Over, But Waking Up?Midlife Reinvention, Courage & Trust with Elizabeth ElfenbeinWhat if the life you've worked so hard to build no longer feels like the life you're meant to live?For Elizabeth Elfenbein, founder of Under the Sisterhood, reinvention didn't begin with a perfectly mapped-out next chapter. It began with an unraveling.After decades of success in advertising, Elizabeth made the courageous decision to leave behind both a career and a marriage that had defined so much of her life. She describes it as jumping off the mountain without knowing where she would land.What followed wasn't simply starting over.It was an awakening.In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Elizabeth and I explore what happens when we stop looking outside ourselves for answers and begin listening to the voice within. We talk about uncertainty, courage, identity, trusting your gut, and why sometimes the things that unravel us create the space we need to discover who we are.Elizabeth also shares how her own desire to reclaim her voice became the spark for Under the Sisterhood, a global storytelling platform dedicated to ensuring that women's lived experiences are seen, heard, valued, and documented.And now that mission is expanding in an exciting new way through the Under the Sisterhood documentary, which premiered this week in New York City. I had the incredible privilege of being part of the film and celebrating its premiere alongside Elizabeth and an inspiring community of women.✨ In this episode, we explore:
What happens when the life you built starts crushing you and you finally decide you can't live that way anymore?I was stuck in a situation I desperately wanted out of, and the process of getting out was making me lose my mind. We had been looking for a house for so long, and every month we stayed in the city felt heavier. I knew I needed a change, but I couldn't just snap my fingers and make it happen.This is about that weird, frustrating period of feeling completely trapped in a life that wasn't working for me anymore, and how getting to the other side of it changed me more than I expected. The city was crushing me, the house search was driving me insane, and I was ready for something to finally give.Follow Madison: @madisoncicconeWork with Madison 1 x1: heymaddz@gmail.comMadison's Website: https://madisonciccone.com/Buy the Gratitude Journal on Amazon PrimeRide with her at SoulCycle in Boston
Wendy Valentine — author of Women Waking Up: The Midlife Manifesto for Passion, Purpose, and Play and host of the Midlife Makeover Show — joins Heather for a raw, wide-ranging conversation about rebuilding a life from the ground up. At 45, Wendy hit a full-on midlife meltdown: divorce, job loss, over $150K in debt, an empty nest, chronic illness, and the deaths of her dog, cat, and brother — all within weeks of each other. Instead of staying stuck, she chased a long-held dream of RVing across the country and completely reconstructed her life within two years. In this episode, Wendy and Heather dig into what it really means to "lean into your destiny," why midlife often feels less like a crisis and more like a coma we need to wake up from, how to grieve fully instead of stuffing it down, the "lotus effect" and being in the mud without being of it, and how to become your own best friend by rewiring the stories running through your head. It's a conversation about permission — to feel, to grieve, to change, and to finally show up for yourself.

If bedtime in your house feels like a nightly negotiation, or you're the one lying in the dark at 2 a.m. wondering why nothing seems to work, this conversation is for you. Pediatric sleep consultant Allison Ezell spent years stuck between a sleep doctor telling her to sleep train and a TBRI therapist affirming the trauma-informed parenting she knew her son needed, unable to find anyone who could bridge the two. She eventually became the person she needed, and she's bringing that hard-won wisdom to us today. What We Cover in This Episode The two building blocks of sleep science, sleep associations and sleep pressure, and why understanding sleep associations alone resolves most of the sleep struggles Allison sees. The difference between "putting a child to sleep" and "putting a child to bed," and why that distinction matters most for kids who wake in the middle of the night. A practical bedtime routine built around what a body actually needs to fall asleep: sensory input earlier in the evening, a warm bath or shower, real connection, and a small snack. How to build felt safety around bedtime fears through repeated, low-pressure exposure, and a gradual pullback method for weaning off sleep associations without a jarring overnight switch. A consistent, scripted response for middle-of-the-night wake-ups, plus the red flags (frequent waking, restless legs, long sleep onset, excessive daytime sleepiness) that mean it's time to talk to a doctor.
