Today, Loretta was able to work out the schedule conflict for the return of Dannion Brinkley who is an internationally renowned near-death experiencer, author, and humanitarian whose extraordinary life has transformed millions. After being struck by lightning in 1975 — an event that stopped his heart for 28 minutes — Dannion experienced a profound journey beyond the physical world. During this experience, he encountered beings of light, underwent a panoramic life review, and was shown prophetic visions of humanity’s future through what he later described as the Boxes of Knowledge. Dannion’s message is simple yet profound: no one dies, every breath matters, and compassion is the highest spiritual currency. Today, his work continues through speaking engagements, books, and the newly established Brinkley Center Foundation, devoted to whole-person healing, grief support, and end-of-life care.

Join host Sue Rose Minahan and Australian astrology guest Melissa Elvira Billington for a potent fireside chat: "Ixion Dwarf Planet Passion." The Dwarf Planets orbit beyond Neptune and Pluto in the Kuiper Belt. Like Pluto, Ixion orbits in a 2-3 resonance with the orbit of Neptune. However, Ixion’s elliptical orbit cuts through the ecliptic path of the Sun, spending time mostly above in the ‘upperworld’ of our consciousness. The Greek myth gets pretty heavy, but essentially it suggests that broken promises lead to retribution of being outcasted. Ixion squandered a 2nd chance and was then expelled. As the mythological father of the Centaurs, Ixion represents our raw nature. Can we transform irreverence into respect for boundaries and relationship agreements – to truly live passion on our own terms. To make the most of life and create change!

Gary and Suzanne welcome renowned astrologer Christopher Renstrom for his 34th appearance on the show. The discussion explores the significant "planetary traffic jam" occurring in early 2026, specifically focusing on the "Pluto return" of the United States Constitution and how shifting planetary climates from earth/water to air/fire are driving global volatility. Between analyzing daily horoscopes for the zodiac signs, Renstrom also shares insights into the historical connection between the planet Uranus and modern revolution.

This episode of The Glen Gilbert Connection features Dr. Brian Licuanan, a psychologist and martial artist, exploring the profound identity shifts and "silent crisis" men experience following divorce or relationship breakdown. The conversation examines the pressure of traditional masculine roles—such as the "protector" and "provider"—and how the loss of these roles can lead to shame, isolation, and statistically higher rates of suicide among divorced men. Dr. Licuanan challenges the stigma surrounding male vulnerability, distinguishing between harmful emotional suppression and healthy emotional regulation, while addressing the cultural "over-correction" regarding toxic masculinity. Beyond the struggle, the dialogue offers a roadmap for rebuilding a sound mind, body, and spirit by drawing parallels between psychological healing and the resilience required in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Dr. Licuanan emphasizes the necessity of finding a new passion or purpose as a protective factor against depression, urging men to allow themselves to grieve rather than remaining stagnant. He concludes by outlining his "disease vaccine" for long-term recovery—comprising honesty, humility, and openness to direction—encouraging men to move past shame and embrace a legacy of emotional health.

After missing a week-long hiatus due to an ever-changing schedule, the duo is reunited and it feels so good! While Stacy was in the sunshine of San Antonio, Eric was driving his sunshine (which is case you’re wondering, is not stored in the cloud). After a lesson on how solar works, sharing about how forgettable the Alamo is, and learning about the ideal post-gum graft recovery plan– a no exercise, all carb, and soft food diet, the pals are mostly caught up. For his Cultural Blindspot Eric checked off something old and something new; he saw the new movie, “One Battle After Another” which he argues was PTA’s (Paul Thomas Anderson’s) best film possibly since “Boogie Nights.” He also watched the Glen Powell remake of “The Running Man” which was good and less campy than the 80’s version with “The Arnold.” Meanwhile, Stacy finally watched, “A Star is Born,” the latest iteration with Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. Now she wants to see the others too. In possibly the BIGGEST revelation, Eric acknowledges Stacy was right about “Heated Rivalry” being a thing. Finally, Eric and Stacy find three words so sum themselves up – no barbs were thrown, it was pragmatic and sweet.

Gary Mantz sits down with Sally Fuller to chat about this friendly little competition between Liberal, Kansas, and Olney, England, with women running 415 yards down the streets of each town flipping pancakes. It all started in 1950 from a magazine picture of the Olney women racing each other to the church. Liberal Jaycee President R.J. Leete contacted the Rev. Ronald Collins, Vicar of St. Peter and St. Paul’s church in Olney, challenging their women to race against women of Liberal. Like in Olney, the traditional prize of the race is the “Kiss of Peace” from the verger (bellringer). It is still the only race of its kind on the planet.

Alzheimer’s: Now for Some Good News & Self-Employment Options

Episode 107: When Letting Go Is Strength, Not Escape We often talk about the importance of not taking the easy way out — of staying present, doing the hard work, and not avoiding discomfort. But what about the moments when letting go is actually the healthier, more honest choice? In this episode of Staying Power, Ashley and JDK explore how to tell the difference between avoidance and discernment — and how to release a person, pattern, or problem without sacrificing your health, perspective, or self-respect. Drawing from psychology, neuroscience, and relationship research, they unpack why holding on isn’t always strength, why letting go isn’t always quitting, and how chronic endurance can quietly turn into self-betrayal. This conversation offers practical questions and grounded insight to help you decide what’s worth carrying — and what may be costing you more than it gives.

New year, new perspective — but no pressure to reinvent yourself. In this episode of Wisdom From the Wardrobe, we kick off The Style Reset: How to Dress for the Life You’re Actually Living, a conversation designed to make getting dressed feel easier, more intentional, and far less frustrating. We start, as always, with our In the News segment, recapping the Golden Globes red carpet and who wore what, what worked, and what caught our collective fashion eye. From there, the conversation turns inward, away from celebrity style and toward real life. This week’s focus is all about alignment. We talk through how to identify what your actual weekly life looks like, from workdays and errands to social plans and downtime, and why most closets don’t reflect that reality. We unpack the gap between the aspirational wardrobe we imagine for ourselves and the outfits we truly reach for and how closing that gap is the key to effortless personal style. If you’ve ever stood in front of a full closet feeling like you have nothing to wear, this episode is your permission slip to reset expectations, rethink how your clothes serve your lifestyle, and start building a wardrobe that works with you, not against you. This is part one of a two-part style reset, and it’s all about dressing smarter, not harder.

As the year wound down, we took a thoughtful, and honest look at what style gave us in 2025, and what we’re officially leaving behind. This final episode of the year starts, as always, with In the News, where Bec breaks down a thought-provoking article asking, “Why can’t fashion see what it’s doing to women?” The conversation sets the tone for a deeper reflection on how fashion messaging, trends, and expectations land in real life. From there, we move into our own style recap, sharing personal style wins, wobbles, and wardrobe surprises from the year. We talked about the trends we truly loved wearing, the ones that sounded great in theory but didn’t work in practice, and the pieces we never expected to reach for but did, again and again. This episode isn’t about trend forecasting it’s about clarity. What felt good? What didn’t? And what lessons are we carrying forward into 2026 when it comes to personal style, confidence, and getting dressed with intention? It’s an honest, reflective conversation about evolving taste, realistic dressing, and letting go of what no longer serves us sartorially and otherwise.

In this episode of Made of More, host Chris Erdmann sits down with Jeff Fisher—a former professional athlete and entrepreneur—to discuss his journey from a traumatic childhood marked by severe abuse to a life of purpose and radical forgiveness. Fisher opens up about the shocking family revelation regarding his stepfather that allowed him to let go of lifelong anger, and how that path led him to found Battle Forged Fellowship, a new ministry designed to combat the epidemic of male loneliness and suicide through deep discipleship and community. The conversation explores Fisher's "Four C's" framework for categorizing friendships (Constituent, Comrade, Community Member, and Confidant), the vital importance of vulnerability, and his upcoming projects, including the book "Felonies to Fruitfulness" and the documentary "Lion Among Smalls". About the show: Made of More is a radio show / podcast that shares the powerful, personal stories behind the entrepreneurs of the greater Seattle area and beyond, individuals who have built meaningful businesses and experiences not just to better their own lives, but to positively impact their communities, families, and the world around them.

Today on Conscious Talk… For better or worse we are living in tumultuous times. Every day some new challenge that we hadn’t anticipated arrives, or comes closer to our horizon. How do we respond? Do we despair… or do we reframe or reaction of dread to one of opportunity? We’ll talk to Dr. DiVanna VaDree for her take, which we might paraphrase as, “What an amazing time to be alive”!

Journey with host Sue Rose Minahan and Florida astrologer Courtney Goldstein for a potent conversation on Viktor E. Frankl’s Man’s Search For Meaning. Ranked as one of the "ten most influential books in the United States," Frankl’s wisdom provides a roadmap for finding purpose and deep meaningfulness through—and despite—profound change. The Celestial Landscape of 2026: We are living in a time of astounding shifts. Our personal and collective lives are interweaving at an accelerated rate as the cosmos energies propel into new territory: Jan 6: The Capricorn Venus Star Point brought a mature, grounded Venus into focus. Feb 17: The upcoming Eclipse season ignites the Lunar New Year Fire Horse. The Zero Point: A riveting Saturn-Neptune conjunction looms at 0° Aries—the start of the Zodiac. As the "kettle" of shared ideas merges, it is time to anchor ourselves in inner meaning, even as our external attachments evolve. Viktor Frankl’s work is particularly resonant for the "Fire Horse" year; both require a great deal of internal strength and a "will to meaning." The Frankl Message: The Last Human Freedom: Psychologist and WWII Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl emerged from concentration camps with an imperative message: Our ultimate freedom is the ability to choose our own attitude. To find meaning, we care for others and hold onto purpose despite, and through, suffering. Our attitude empowers us to move from victimhood to being victorious within, finding meaning in a year of astounding change. Stay Connected and Inspired!

When you are struggling to find your best words for something that matters - a family meeting, a job interview, your next magazine article - it's easy to worry and think your words have left you forever! People tell you to just relax, but you can't. It seems like someone else could do a much better job. So you give up. Have you ever noticed that storytellers sound like they're born with it? Well, there is a secret you might not know; storytellers talk about their values. The best storytellers talk about matters of the heart. They know when to write, and they know when to pause. With a little practice, you will find the prolific storyteller in you. Today's show focuses on this topic.

Today, Thursday, January 15th on Urban Forum Northwest: Washington State Senator Bob Hasegawa (D)-11 is continuing his pursuit of having the tax paying citizens of Washington state to have more control of their tax dollars by establishing a state owned bank. He’s sponsoring Senate Bill 5754 to accomplish that goal. Reverend Dr. Leslie D.Braxton, Senoir Pastor, New Beginnings Christian Fellowship, Kent, WA invites you to their Martin Luther King Jr. event at the church on January 19 at 1:00 pm. I am sure Kevin Meeks will live stream the program.

Today, Loretta welcomes Regina Leffers, Ph.D. who is a philosopher, meditation teacher, and former professor whose life’s work bridges academic philosophy, psychology, contemplative practice, and human development. Her latest book, This Is Consciousness!, was written in response to what she sees as one of the great crises of our time — our inability to speak civilly, listen deeply, and navigate difference without fear, reactivity, or polarization. Regina offers a developmental map of consciousness using what she calls “facets” — different ways consciousness expresses itself as we grow through life. Each facet has its own gifts, challenges, shadows, and problem-solving capacities. Regina’s writing is refreshingly accessible, grounded, and practical, offering tools readers can immediately apply in their own lives. Her work serves as a bridge between philosophy, neuroscience, psychology, and spirituality — making the invisible architecture of human consciousness visible, understandable, and usable.

Episode 106: What Real Fitness Looks Like So often in fitness — and in life — we focus on a specific outcome: a number on the scale, a finish line, or an idea of how things should go. But what if that mindset is actually what drains our motivation and disconnects us from ourselves? In this episode of Staying Power, JDK and Ashley explore a healthier, more sustainable way to think about fitness — not as punishment or perfection, but as a daily practice of presence, self-trust, and long-term capacity. They talk about why matching your movement to your energy matters, how showing up on “low” days still counts, and how fitness can prepare us not just for goals, but for aging with strength, mobility, and ease. Along the way, the lens expands beyond the gym — into work, relationships, and personal growth — revealing how meeting ourselves where we are can change how we move through the world. This episode is an invitation to train for life, not just the outcome.

In this episode of Made of More, host Chris Erdmann sits down with Christopher "Toph" Villa to explore his diverse entrepreneurial journey—from the corporate floors of Nordstrom to a multimillion-dollar loss in the shoe industry, and eventually to a successful exit in sports franchising. Now leading his new venture, Dream DADU, Villa shares how he is tackling the housing affordability crisis in the Pacific Northwest by designing high-quality Detached Accessory Dwelling Units (DADUs) that help families age in place and build generational wealth. The conversation delves into the personal lessons Villa learned along the way, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing passion over money, the value of vulnerability in leadership, and the power of embracing one's authentic self in both business and life. About the show: Made of More is a radio show / podcast that shares the powerful, personal stories behind the entrepreneurs of the greater Seattle area and beyond, individuals who have built meaningful businesses and experiences not just to better their own lives, but to positively impact their communities, families, and the world around them.

Gary and Suzanne welcome back dream expert Kelly Sullivan Walden, aka Dr. Dream, to explore the profound influence of dreaming in our lives. Walden shares transformative practices like creating a "dream cocoon" to treat sleep as a sacred ritual and offers strategies for navigating the "upper limits" of success to prevent self-sabotage when our deepest desires materialize. Listeners are empowered to bridge the gap between the ordinary and the extraordinary, allowing their inner glow to do the heavy lifting in a life filled with synchronicity.

In this episode, former combat medic turned integration coach Sravan Allopi breaks down why high-performing men often struggle to maintain connection in their intimate relationships. Sravan explains the "worthiness wound"—a deep-seated belief that drives men to overwork and emotionally shut down—and how this trauma manifests as avoidance or explosive reactivity with partners. We discuss practical strategies for men to stop "logic-ing" their way out of emotional problems and instead use somatic tools to regulate their nervous system before arguments spiral out of control. Sravan shares powerful frameworks for rebuilding trust and safety, such as the concept of "being the mountain" to weather emotional storms and using "containment" strategies to communicate effectively with the feminine. From the "4-7-8" breathing protocol that diffuses anger in seconds to "briefing" your partner to create clarity during a crisis, this conversation offers a tactical toolkit for men who want to move from emotional burnout to being a grounded, present partner.

DAMTT: Stella, Marching Bands and Overrated Daily Rituals Are you surprised that Stacy has no problem talking with strangers or injecting in their conversations? Neither is Eric as he pulls a quote from a Simpson’s episode that parodies A Streetcar Named Desire. This leads to a story about Ethan Hawke. Eric is prepping for his gum grafting surgery which sounds hideous and led Eric to declare, “NO.” Did you feel the earth move too?? Meanwhile Gertie awaits her checkup results – fingers crossed she’s doing better! Stacy’s story arc has shifted from ankle updates to moving hassles and hilarity. Eric checked off a musical for his Cultural Blindspot this week; another one inspired by the Simpon’s, he watched The Music Man. While entertained by a very young and cute Shirley Jones, Eric was less impressed with Harold Hill’s non-scam scam that could have been trimmed down a bit. Meanwhile, Stacy has a new appreciation for Lego building as she puts back together several broken sets that could bring in money. Somehow this leads to a story about Eric rewatching Indiana Jones and the odd story of the two minor league baseball players, both named Brady Feigl. As for this episode’s top topic, Overrated Daily Rituals, Stacy and Eric agree selfcare is just a good habit and the rest could be superstition, OCD, addiction, or just a personal quirk.

Episode 105: “After the Confetti Settles” The first week of January often brings a quiet shift: the excitement fades, routines return, and doubts creep in. In this episode of Staying Power, JDK and Ashley explore what actually sustains change once novelty wears off. Drawing on neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and ancient wisdom, they unpack why motivation is unreliable — and what works instead. This episode helps listeners normalize the dip, reframe it as progress (not failure), and learn how to stay engaged with their intentions in a grounded, compassionate way.
