Renee Jones shares her journey from a 10-year-old dieter to a health counselor who helps others break free from emotional eating. Her powerful mantra "Face your stuff, don't stuff your face" encapsulates her philosophy that sustainable weight loss comes from addressing underlying emotional issues rather than just controlling what we eat.

• Renee's 40-year diet yo-yo began at age 10 when her mother put her on her first diet
• Emotional eating often stems from seeking comfort or stress relief through food
• We often have emotional connections to certain foods (Renee's was peanut butter which reminded her of her grandmother)
• Diets fail because we stop doing them, viewing them as temporary rather than lifestyle changes
• Keep trigger foods out of sight or in opaque containers since "we first eat with our eyes"
• One day or meal off plan won't ruin progress - it's a holiday, not a "hollow month"
• The health industry thrives on repeat business - be wary of "magic" solutions
• When choosing a health coach, research their training and avoid high-pressure sales tactics

The Men's Roundtable Series premieres with a candid discussion about why men often avoid discipline despite knowing its importance to achieving their goals and building meaningful legacies.

• Eight men from diverse backgrounds introduce themselves and their personal journeys
• Discipline is recognized as multifaceted and requires consistent progress rather than perfection
• Many men experience "seasonal discipline" – being structured in some areas while struggling in others
• The panel debates whether discipline starts and ends with individual choice
• Information overload and constant distractions make maintaining discipline particularly challenging in modern life
• Accountability partnerships significantly improve men's ability to maintain discipline in various life areas
• The "law of thirds" concept: find a mentor, connect with peers for growth, then mentor someone else
• Legacy becomes a powerful motivator – breaking toxic cycles and establishing healthy examples of masculinity
• Discipline ultimately serves to accomplish one's God-given purpose and impacts future generations

We hope this conversation inspires you to examine your own di

This episode confronts the crisis of authentic manhood and offers three transformative questions every man needs to answer for breakthrough in his life.

• Men are often misunderstood and struggle with isolation, connection, and emotional communication
• John Eldridge's book "Wild at Heart" provides crucial insights into what men are truly searching for
• The three toughest questions men need to answer honestly:
 - Are you willing to stop doing "man stuff" and start being a man?
 - Are you willing to admit that you personally need other men in your life?
 - Is your family, community, and world worth your efforts to grow?
• True manhood isn't defined by activities like hunting or fishing but by character, growth, and living with purpose
• Men need community to heal and grow - isolation is where men are most vulnerable
• "All men die, but few men ever really live" - we must find our hearts again to truly fulfill our purpose

Join us for our new Men's Roundtable Series launching June 26th at 7:00 PM. This monthly discussion will create space for authentic conversation about the real challenges men face. Check our show notes for details or reach out via social media to become a panelist.

Matt Morizio, former Kansas City Royal catcher/pitcher and founder of Reconstructing Wealth, shares his journey from professional baseball player to financial entrepreneur and father of seven. His story reveals powerful lessons about identity, mental performance, and finding purpose beyond your career.

• Chased professional baseball dream for nearly 20 years before transitioning to "real life"
• Faced homelessness with his wife after being released from the Royals organization
• Learned the counterintuitive skill of playing at 80% rather than 100% for optimal performance 
• Discovered the power of visualization and mental preparation too late in his baseball career
• Realized everyone is replaceable after seeing teammates instantly substituted after being released
• Found his identity in faith rather than occupation, unlike many former athletes
• Started his financial planning business at age 40 despite being the sole provider for seven children
• Defines wealth through four buckets: faith, family, fitness, and finally, finance
• Dreams of creating a retreat center where people can find restoration and encouragement

What happens when your perfectly planned Christian life falls apart? Cathy  knows the terrain of disappointment, having navigated divorce, health challenges, and shattered expectations despite "doing everything right." Yet rather than abandoning faith, she discovered something richer: an authentic relationship with a God who reveals Himself in every season, especially the difficult ones.

Growing up as the oldest of six children with parents active in ministry, Cathy learned early to discern God's voice. Her breakthrough came through a simple yet profound insight: "Just say yes to God every time he asks you and no to the devil every time he asks you, and you'll end up doing all God has called you to do." This approach freed her from the paralysis of trying to decipher God's master plan and instead embraced a responsive relationship with Him.

Whether discussing her popular blog "Graceful Musings," her passion for Hebrew language, or her concerns about consumeristic Christianity, Cathy combines thoughtful theology with practical wisdom. For anyone navigating disappointment, deconstruction, or spiritual uncertainty, her story offers a refreshing alternative to both rigid relig

Have you ever achieved success but secretly felt like you don't deserve it? That nagging voice suggesting you're not quite good enough despite evidence to the contrary? You're far from alone.

Dr. Tara Halliday, expert imposter syndrome coach and bestselling author, reveals that an astonishing 70% of high achievers experience imposter syndrome. This isn't just affecting newcomers – it impacts professionals in their 40s, 50s, and 60s at the pinnacle of their careers across every industry from business to athletics, acting, and beyond.

What makes imposter syndrome so insidious is its ability to hide in plain sight. Despite outward confidence, many successful people carry this burden silently, believing it's a personal weakness rather than a common experience. The physiological stress, mental distraction, and self-limiting behaviors it triggers – perfectionism, procrastination, overthinking – actively undermine your potential.

The most illuminating revelation? Imposter syndrome isn't about personality or confidence. It stems from a fundamental belief formed in early childhood that your worth as a person depends on what you do. This unconscious trigger lives in your br
