American culture is full of striving: hustling at work, pushing ourselves in the gym, working to be beautiful or good enough. In today's conversation, I have the gift of talking with Kimberly Stuart about the concept of grace; how to apply it amidst our culture and why it's entirely miraculous and worth revisiting.  Kim Stuart is the author of eight published novels, a speaker, a writing coach alongside author Bob Goff, co-leads writing retreats, and hosts two podcasts, For Real with Kimberly Stuart and The Writing Room.  In today's conversation, Kim shares about her latest book, Star for Jesus and Other Jobs I Quit: Rediscovering the Grace that Sets Us Free. In particular, Kim discusses what drew her to the topic of grace, how we might reframe perfectionism, what living a great story looks like, and how we can use our agency to redefine beauty in our lives.  This was such a fun and meaningful conversation; I can't wait for you to listen!Buy Melissa L.

In this soul-stirring episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with Sarah Bullen—international writing mentor, literary agent, and bestselling author—for an extraordinary conversation about life, death, and everything in between. Sarah opens up about her near-death experience, which included a month-long coma, a spiritual journey beyond this universe, and a powerful message from a mystical guide: “Have more fun.” This message would come to redefine her life, her purpose, and her role as a writing mentor. From trauma and transformation to the sacred process of storytelling, Sarah reminds us why our stories matter—perhaps more than we realize.   About the Guest:Sarah Bullen is an internationally renowned writing coach, founder of The Writing Room and Kent Literary, and a trusted guide to thousands of authors around the world. A former magazine editor, Sarah's work spans memoir, mysticism, and mentoring. Her books Love and Above and The Other Side chronicle her profound near-death experience and spiritual awakening.   Key Takeaways: Sarah's coma led to a profound out-of-body experience that reshaped her worldview. Her message from beyond: “Have more fun”—a powerful reminder to embrace joy, even amid grief. Near-death experiences are deeply personal, often misunderstood, and not always blissful. Writing can be a sacred act of healing and remembering, beyond the pursuit of publication. Sarah's approach to mentoring authors shifted from outcome-focused to soul-focused.   Connect with Sarah Bullen:Website: https://sarahbullen.comBooks available on Amazon under Sarah Bullen   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?DM Me Here: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avikSubscribe To Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/Join Community: https://nas.io/healthymind   Stay Tuned And Follow Us!YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@healthymind-healthylifeInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/podhealth.club/Threads - https://www.threads.net/@podhealth.clubFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymindLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/newandnew/ #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #wellness #neardeathexperience #sarahbullen #memoirwriting #spiritualawakening #healingjourney

Episode 173: In Conversation With Billy Vera (Part 1) Sarah usually writes these show notes, and on the rare occasion that I fill in for her, I do something silly - I either make them really short or I have ChatGPT help me by doing most of the work.  This time, I asked to do them because I am still in shock that this episode exists and because it was a true thrill to speak with an artist who has been a favorite of mine since I was 16! After discovering Billy Vera, along with many others of my generation, thanks to the hit comedy "Family Ties", I would go on to collect his entire catalog, with the exception of "Queen of Diamonds / Jack of Hearts" by Evie Sands & Billy Vera which I haven't been able to find yet.  I will one day though!  I would watch him on TV shows like "Wiseguy" and "Into the Night", where he served as a late-night bandleader and often performed his wonderful songs.  I would occasionally be surprised and excited to spot him in movies throughout the 80s and 90s.  He was doing so many great things, and doing all of those things at a level which should have made him a Super Star if there was any justice in the world.   With all of his various talents, songwriting and singing are where Billy truly shines, so getting to talk with him about his career and his music was an amazing experience.  In this first episode (of two), we touched on so many topics, even going back to the mid-1960s and some of his earliest songs.  I really hope you will enjoy this discussion on some of my favorite music.   Topics that we cover in this first episode: ·        Billy's upcoming trip to Italy to perform and  to receive an award at the Porretta Soul Music Festival ·        Working with Jerry Wexler ·        Writing songs professionally in NYC in the 1960s ·        A song he wishes he wrote ·        Writing "Room with a View" with Lowell Fulson ·        Working with Bonnie Raitt ·        Recording "Storybook Children" with Judy Clay ·        Playing the Apollo Theater ·        Thoughts on songwriting ·        Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era and "Don't Look Back" ·        His 1988 Capital album "Retro Nuevo" ·        The three styles of Production ·        Working with Lou Rawls and George Benson ·        Working with Arif Mardin ·        How did Jim Keltner become a Beater in 1988? ·        Working on the Blake Edwards movie "Blind Date" ·        Hanging out with Bruce Willis, Demi Moore, and Kim Basinger ·        Meeting L. Russell Brown ·        Being "inspired" by Loni Anderson ·        Writing his biggest hit "At this Moment" and the story behind the song ·        Writing Brian's favorite BV song "Here Comes The Dawn Again" ·        Releasing his biggest album on Rhino Records ·        Doing promo work in the 1980s ·        Advice from his mother You can learn more about Billy's story, his books, and his music at https://billyvera.com/ Follow him on Facebook for the latest info on his gigs and his weekly radio show: https://www.facebook.com/TheRealBillyVera Treat yourself to music and books by Billy here: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=billy+vera&crid=31CGZ21181YET&sprefix=billy+vera%2Caps%2C102&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 Read more at http://www.permanentrecordpodcast.com/ Visit us at https://www.facebook.com/permrecordpodcast Follow us at https://twitter.com/permrecordpod  Check out some pictures at https://www.instagram.com/permanentrecordpodcast/ So this BlueSky thing looks shiny and new: https://bsky.app/profile/permrecordpod.bsky.social Oh!  Here's another one of these things - Threads: https://www.threads.net/@permanentrecordpodcast Leave a voicemail for Brian & Sarah at (724) 490-8324 or https://www.speakpipe.com/PermRecordPod - we're ready to believe you!

Send us a Text Message.Join me in my conversation with Kim Stuart, author of "Star for Jesus and Other Jobs I Quit: Rediscovering the Grace That Sets Us Free."   Kim is an author of nine bestselling books, a speaker, writing coach, and a podcast host of "For Real" and "The Writing Room" that she co-hosts with New York Times Bestselling author Bob Goff. In her new book she explores the topic of grace in a fresh new way. She reminds all of us that we don't have to perform for God to gain His favor or earn our way to receive his grace. It's a fun and uplifting topic to discuss.To say I admire Kim is an understatement. She is talented, wise, kind, smart, entertaining and funny--and above all, very humble. Her faith leads her steps in every area of her work and her life, and she inspires anyone who knows her to live a more authentic, faith-filled life. I was thrilled that she agreed to come on this podcast and if you don't know her yet, I know you'll enjoy her too.SPOILER ALERT: I've read all of her books and they are EXCELLENT! Every single one.

"We think that we are providing benefits to somebody and incentives. Actually, we're creating little fires and warring factions." - Kevin D. Monaghan Most organizations incentivize key employees with creative pay & perks like equity splits. Better pay + better benefits = obviously happy employees who stick around, work hard, & grow the company. t's easy and great math, except for the fact that it doesn't work. As Kevin can speak to personally, equity splits often produce arguments, jealousy, and resentment. Key employees are left at risk. It's a tough pill he was forced to swallow, sleeping on the floor of a 9'x9' apartment, rebuilding his life after losing everything to a work "family" who promised him the moon & then burned him badly. So, what's the alternative to splitting equity & keeping good people? Kevin knows now, & he's on a mission to tell the world.
