Send us Fan Mail"Can't we just lie down in our power? Do we have to step into it?"That question, offered by Ayurvedic teacher Claudia Welch, sparked everything in this episode. Because when we talk about stepping into our power, we are implying that power is somewhere outside of us — something to reach for, to put on, to earn. But what if that image is wrong?What if our power is not something we need to step into, but something we need to remember? What if it has been there all along — beneath the people-pleasing, the masking, the overriding of our bodies, the making ourselves smaller to fit into a world that was not built for us?In this solo episode I explore:The difference between stepping into power and remembering power — and why that distinction matters deeply, especially in midlifeThe Ayurvedic framework of langhana and brahmana — why we live in a profoundly langhana (outputting, reducing, forward-moving) world, and what we lose when brahmana (nourishing, building, gathering inward) is treated as optionalThe feminine archetypes of power — Durga, Athena, the Maori women — fierce and powerful, but different in nature from the masculineThe layers we are peeling away: people-pleasing, masking, performing wellness, overriding the body's signals, making ourselves smallerThe two hormonal clocks — how testosterone operates on a 24-hour circadian rhythm that the entire modern world was built around, while estrogen and progesterone operate on a 28-day infradian rhythm with four distinct phases, each asking something different from the body and brainWhy researchers excluded women from clinical trials because their monthly hormonal variability was too complicated — and how that shaped an entire model of medicine and productivity that was never designed for a female bodyThe four phases of the feminine cycle and what each one genuinely requires — including why rest must come before output in certain phases, not as a reward for productivity but as a biological prerequisitePerimenopause as initiation — why so many women hit burnout and hormonal transition at the same moment, why the symptoms are not a sign of failure, and why this season is actually an invitation into a deeper relationship with your own powerWhy midlife, when estrogen begins to drop, can bring its own kind of liberation — as certain veils begin to fall away on their ownThe community piece — why coming together with other women and speaking these truths out loud is itself part of reclaiming feminine powerWhy you don't need to figure out how to change the system — and what your one small step is this weekThis episode is for every woman who has ever felt like she couldn't keep up, and wondered what was wrong with her.

Send us Fan MailItaly is one of the most decorated soccer nations on the planet. Iraq hasn't been to the World Cup in 40 years. And Bosnia — a country that didn't even exist 35 years ago — just sent both of them a message the world wasn't ready for.In this episode of the MotivateMe313 Podcast, OZ Media sits down with Kenan Mahmutovic and David Numan to break down what just happened, why it matters FAR beyond the scoreboard, and what it means for every Arab, Bosnian, and Muslim community in America — especially right here in Metro Detroit and Dearborn.This isn't just a sports conversation. This is a pride, identity, and belonging conversation. And the 2026 World Cup is coming to American soil — meaning THIS community could be in those stadiums. THIS EPISODE WE'RE GETTING INTO: Where were you when Bosnia knocked out Italy — and when Iraq's qualification was confirmed? The moment our guests will never forget For people who don't follow soccer — why should EVERY Arab, Bosnian, and Muslim in America care about what just happened? How did Bosnia pull off one of the biggest upsets in World Cup qualifying history against a soccer giant like Italy? Iraq's 40-year drought is GENERATIONAL — there are people in their 30s and 40s who have NEVER seen Iraq at a World Cup. How did they finally get here? The community reaction on the ground in Metro Detroit and Dearborn — what did our people feel when those final whistles blew? For Arab Americans and Bosnian Americans carrying a dual identity every day — what does it mean to see YOUR country's flag on the World Cup stage? How does this moment connect Iraqi Americans and Bosnian Americans — who grew up here in the US — to a homeland they know through stories, food, and family? The 2026 World Cup is RIGHT HERE in the United States — what does it mean that this community can potentially walk into a stadium and watch their team play on American soil? Are Iraq and Bosnia just happy to be there — or do they have a legitimate shot at making noise in the tournament? The ONE thing every Arab, Bosnian, and Muslim fan in America should do before the opening match of the 2026 World Cup To every Arab and Bosnian American watching: For 40 years, people waited. For one generation, this is the FIRST TIME. This episode is for everyone who never stopped believing — and for every kid in Detroit flying two flags wondering if their people will ever get their moment.Their moment is NOW.Drop a in the comments if this episode hit different — and share it with every Arab, Bosnian, and Muslim soccer fan in your life.

The Best Kind of Faith starts with a question that gets personal fast: If your life is a commercial, what are you advertising? This message invites you to move beyond a faith that only believes and into the kind of faith that actually does what Jesus says.If your spiritual life has felt stagnant, routine, or disconnected, this message from Luke 3 will help you rediscover what real faith looks like. Through the bold words of John the Baptist, we see that the best kind of faith isn't performative, comfortable, or checkbox religion—it's active, practical, and lived out in the way you love people every day.You'll discover:Why belief is the starting line, not the finish lineHow real faith shows up in practical love and generosityWhat keeps your faith from becoming stagnant or lifelessWhy deep faith is built through deep actions, not just deep teachingThe one prayer that can change how you follow Jesus this weekThis message is for anyone who's been asking, “Why does my faith feel stuck?” or “How do I actually grow?” The answer may be simpler—and more challenging—than you think: ask God, “What should I do?” and then follow through.Because the best kind of faith is not the version that asks, “What's in it for me?” It's the kind that trusts Jesus enough to obey, even when it's uncomfortable. That's where growth happens. That's where you encounter God. And that's the kind of faith that changes the world.

What does it actually take to go from starting over — twice — to never missing a week? In this episode, Piet and Emylee sit down with Carlos, a member of the Pharos mentorship program, to talk about the real journey behind building a fitness lifestyle that lasts.Carlos came to Pharos as a curious beginner. He went all in on his first six-week challenge, burned out, and didn't come back for six months. Sound familiar? When he returned, he had one simple ask — hold me accountable to showing up three days a week. That's it.What happened over the next 12 weeks changed everything. Body fat down. Muscle mass up. A shoulder that went from a 7/10 pain to a 3. And more importantly — a completely new identity. Carlos is now the kind of person who schedules gym time before social plans, who walks to the gym, who shows up in spite of how he feels.We talk about:Why going all in is often the worst thing you can doThe bare minimum philosophy and why it actually creates more resultsOvercoming gym apprehension and imposter syndromeHow body recomposition works when the scale doesn't moveThe mental shift that separates people who stick with it from those who don'tWhat the Pharos mentorship program actually looks like week to weekThis one is for anyone who has started and stopped, who thinks the gym isn't for them, or who just needs someone to say — you're worth showing up for.If you're interested in the Pharos mentorship program, DM us or visit jointhepac.fit to learn more.Thanks for listening, don't forget to follow, subscribe, like and share—we really appreciate it!

NOTE: We get cut off right at the end when wrapping up......blame Lee's bad timekeeping this weekThis week on Inspiration Nation, Lee Kemp is joined by Ryan Boniface and Jose Noya to unpack a deceptively simple idea—how you really show up when it counts. Using tennis, cold showers, long walks, public speaking, and even “winging it at work” as real-life proof points, the trio explore the difference between high standards vs unrealistic expectations, and why progress is built through reps, habits, and marginal gains rather than motivation alone. Ryan challenges the quote at first—seeing “training” as classroom learning—before reframing it as preparation and practice, and the conversation lands on a powerful shared truth: when pressure hits, you don't magically become the version of yourself you hope to be—you become the version you've been building.Central Quote: “We do not rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training.” Why it matters: it's the episode's anchor for everything—confidence, resilience, performance under pressure, habit-building, and why perfectionism can stop you from starting. The takeaway is clear: start small, stay consistent, and “put a vote in the box” each day for who you want to become—because the reps compound.

On this week's episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, we're joined by one of the Premier League's original centre-forward royalty… Les Ferdinand.Before the goal compilations, before the Sky Sports montages, before strikers were measured by pressing data and heat maps, there was “Sir Les”. QPR icon. Newcastle hero. The man leading the line when the Premier League still felt brand new. A proper No.9. Power, presence, goals everywhere he went. If you grew up in the 90s, you knew exactly what Les Ferdinand meant.He joins Pete, Sids and Chris to talk about the journey from West London non-league graft to becoming one of the most feared forwards in the country. There's the unbelievable story of starting out as a goalkeeper, the Turkey move that changed his mentality forever, and the sliding doors moment with Manchester United that could have rewritten football history. We get into loyalty, ambition, dressing room politics and the brutal advice from Ray Wilkins that stuck with him for life. It's honest, funny, reflective and packed with the kind of insight only someone who's lived it can give.We've split our conversation Les into two parts, and after we transition out of the nostalgia fuelled Part 1, things immediately descend into remote chaos.We build up to Macclesfield's FA Cup tie and what it could mean for the pod, update the leaderboard as the pressure ramps up, and dive into this week's Paddy Power predictions with a North London Derby thrown into the mix. There's a live package opened on air that nobody fully understands, some technical mishaps, a bit of shouting about scores, and the sort of disorder that only seems to happen when we're not all in the same room.Part 2 with Les drops next week.

During that period, Patty found that there was a critical need for evidence backed care focused on supporting positive mental health outcomes among military spouses and partners. During the deployment, Patty kept hearing “You knew what you signed up for” and friends would reassure her that she'd be “ok.” Instead, Patty found herself exhausted, anxious, and feeling incredibly alone. To ensure that others wouldn't have to experience the same journey, she sought to advance a preventative approach to mental health.HomeFront Haven™'s model prioritizes community-based support as a critical strategy to reduce reliance on crisis care systems.
