Autumn Williams Autumn Williams Poetry When the chronic illness I have, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), worsened to the point that I became mostly bedbound, I discovered poetry as a way to transform challenging experiences into universal reflections on time, loss, and hope. My journey from those first poems, to self-publishing a Kirkus-praised, #1 Best Selling poetry collection, "Clouds on the Ground" (released November 7th, 2024), and chapbook "WAVES", demonstrates the power of creative expression to find beauty in life's difficult seasons. I currently live in Texas with my husband and our children. Through my life experiences, I bring authentic conversations about resilience, the artistic process, and finding meaning through creative work. My accessible poetry and personal story resonate with listeners who are facing their own challenges, or are seeking creative outlets during difficult times. My interests include writing and reading poetry, listening to music, and spending time with my family. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The needle hits the vinyl, and with a crackle of anticipation, the 1970s rock album announces itself not with a gentle introduction, but with a declaration of intent. This was the decade where the opening track became an explosive art form, a concentrated blast designed to seize the listener by the collar and define the entire sonic journey to come. From the primal, stadium-shaking riff of Led Zeppelin’s "Black Dog" to the sleek, paranoid overture of The Rolling Stones' "Brown Sugar," these were more than just songs; they were opening statements. They could be the complex, virtuosic fury of Queen's "Brighton Rock," a gauntlet thrown down to aspiring musicians, or the raw, jet-fueled ignition of Iggy and the Stooges' "Search and Destroy," a three-minute manifesto of punk nihilism years before its time. In an era of album-oriented rock, the first track was the gateway, and 197s artists mastered the craft of making it unforgettable, explosive, and utterly undeniable. Hosted on Acast.

In an era where sex is often reduced to fleeting pleasure and instant self-gratification, reclaiming its deeper meaning calls for a return to intimacy, connection, and purpose. Beyond the physical act lies the potential for sex to be a profound expression of vulnerability, trust, and love—a union that nourishes not just the body but the soul. When disentangled from the noise of hyper-individualism and commodification, sex becomes less about consumption and more about communion, a sacred language of belonging that transcends the superficial. To move beyond pleasure is to rediscover sex as a transformative force, capable of shaping identity, deepening relationships, and reminding us of our shared humanity. Hosted on Acast.

Hey Everyone, Moses and Troy Horne here. Your mental toughness guides! We know exactly how you feel. If you are reading this you probably have a young athlete who struggles with in-game stress and maybe even sports performance anxiety. That is why this version was mostly written by Moses. As of the time of the writing of this book Moses Horne is a 15 year old elite athlete who can talk directly about the triumphs ans struggles of working towards being mentally tough. This is the only book that I know of with input from an actual young athlete. A lot of the heavy lifting was done by me Troy Horne, his dad. I am here to help the parents understand how to help your kiddo navigate this mental toughness journey. For more on that make sure that you pick up the Parent's guide version of this book - Mental Toughness for Young Athletes: Eight Proven 5-Minute Mindset Exercises For Kids And Teens In Competitive Sports (Parent's Guide) It's super necessary. We know where you are and we know how to help you help your young athlete find their mental fortitude. In the past we have purchased a lot of books about mental toughness in sports. To be honest, most of the books that we read were not a good fit for young athletes because they were either written for adults or not written for youth athletes in COMPETITIVE sports. There is a difference. Parents! Troy Speaking: Since there wasn't anything out there for elite athletes I did what every youth sports parent does when they want to help their kid. I started my own team! JUUUUST KIDDING! (I probably should have, but I didn't believe that I would be able to do it well. I lacked mental confidence myself I guess. We talk about that in the parent's version of this book too.) We took the long journey of ups and downs. We struggled to help our young athlete find his mental toughness. IT WAS ROUGH! However, luckily along the way we found the winning formula thanks to being able to talk with sports icons personally. We launched a podcast together and on it we interviewed sports mental toughness giants like Chauncey Billups, Tywanna Smith, Keiko Yoshimine, Earl Boykins, Jason Richardson and Kobe Bryant! We studied what they did and said based on our interviews and we came up with a mental toughness plan that worked! We followed their journey and their advice. We wrote down what worked for our young athlete and we put it in this book so that you would be able to skip a lot of the struggle and failure part. No need for everyone to struggle right? In this book we are going to share with you what we learned from talking to NBA Athletes, NFL Athletes, EuroLeague Athletes, College Coaches, and College Athletes as well.  Does your child perform better in practice than they do when the game or when the "Lights Come On"? Do they seem like they are losing their love for the game? Do you want to help them? If you answered yes to these questions then you are in the right place. This book is the answer that you have been looking for! I can say this with confidence because I have used everything that I am going to share with you in this book with my son and it has worked. What a blessing to get the keys to mental toughness straight from greats! I look forward to sharing what we learned with you! This stuff is a game-changer and it's made specifically for young athletes! Order now to improve your young athlete's mental toughness level for good. Hosted on Acast.

While punk often wore its defiance on ripped sleeves, ’70s soft rock rebelled in a subtler but more radical way—by challenging cultural expectations of masculinity, politics, and art through vulnerability. Instead of thrashing guitars and chaos, artists like Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, and Bread crafted lush harmonies and introspective lyrics that rejected the era’s obsession with aggression and bravado. Their rebellion lay in showing that gentleness could be powerful, that love and heartbreak were worthy of anthems, and that polished melodies could carry the weight of social discontent just as fiercely as a distorted riff. In this sense, soft rock quietly pushed against the grain, redefining what rebellion in music could look like.   Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

But, right before the exhibit opens, she’s faced with the possibility that some of the paintings are fake. She must find out if they are, why they are, and who’s behind the scam. Her father insists she tell no one, not even the museum’s director and curator. She fears that opening with forged paintings could ruin her reputation, along with the artists’, the museum, and the country. She approaches the collector, who claims he had no idea and insists she open the exhibit. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dreaming God's Way Humans have been fascinated by dreams and their meanings since the beginning of recorded consciousness. Poets, philosophers, mystics, and psychologists have explored the dream world with intense interest. The Bible itself is filled with vivid dreams that are personally and historically significant and through which God speaks to humans and even nations. In the Jewish tradition, the Talmud views dreaming as a means by which God communicates with the soul and dream interpretation as a valuable spiritual activity. Yet the subject of dreams is almost entirely absent in today's Christian psychology textbooks or counseling offices. As a practicing psychotherapist, Trembly reclaims the dream world as a gift from God and asserts: "The Lord of our conscious life is also the Lord of our unconscious life." He uses examples from the Scriptures and from his clinical practice to illustrate different types of dreams, ranging from playful to prophetic to precognitive. He then provides a practical, step-by-step guide to interpreting dreams so that these messages from the unconscious mind may be an avenue for greater self-knowledge and for encounters with God, who created us.

George Sirois Let Author / Podcaster / Audiobook Narrator George Sirois Tell You a Story My experience as a storyteller goes back to childhood, when I recorded my first “audiobook” when I was 6, which was basically me reading a storybook to my cousin who was recovering from cancer surgery. I’m 4th grade, I started creating characters with my friends to pass the time between assignments and those characters led to the ones that are in my current young adult / science-fiction novels. After being a part of a roundtable podcast with other authors, I was inspired to start my own in 2018, and that show is still going strong today. And in 2023, I directed an audio dramatization of one of my own books, working with over 20 talented actors all around the world. Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?

Jonathan Hutton Writer, paraglider pilot, rare cancer survivor I knew I wanted to learn how to fly after dabbling in skydiving 13 some years ago. The freedom of flying a canopy - being suspended in the air, seeing the world from a completely different perspective - changed something in me. In a similar way, living through a decade with recurrent and rare head/neck cancer has galvanized me to see life, work, priorities through a new lens. I had no idea I was even capable of writing a book, but I’ve come to understand that sitting with adversity, reflecting on the challenges in your life, that there’s healing to be found there. Healing - through writing, sharing, challenging yourself to do that big, improbable thing now - is something you can find, even if your disease has no cure. Life is short, so learn how to fly, whatever ‘flying’ is for you. I have learned so much about what goes into writing a book as a first-time author, what it’s like to hire and work with an editor, how the whole process will change you. I believe these stories will be useful to aspiring authors, people who are trying to find their voice, but uncertain on how to proceed. I am deeply fortunate to still be alive, having navigated not only rare, but life altering side effects from cancer treatment - unexpected outcomes that required reconstructive surgery. I tell many of these stories in the book, and speak freely about them in general, because I know just how unmooring having your body altered in this way can be. I’ve arrived at this place where I know more about free flap reconstructions than most, which is strange, but also inspiring; I am inspired by the providers who do this work, who understand the trade-offs and difficult recoveries their patients face. I’ve met a lot of cancer survivors over the years, people who have suffered, some who found cures, some who are still looking for healing and meaning amidst hardship. In our 4,000 weeks alive, which could very well be less, we have so many choices and pathways, so much vying for our attention. The stories we tell, the ones we listen to, our ability to be present, is a gift. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.

Matthew Strunk Built and sold companies, yet still felt lost after doing everything “right.” Now I guide people to The Hidden Path™, freedom and purpose on their own terms. I’ve built and sold multiple companies, including a digital marketing agency and a SaaS platform, but what I discovered after those exits is what makes my story valuable for your audience: success alone doesn’t guarantee fulfillment. Like so many entrepreneurs and professionals, I did everything “right.” I built the businesses, hit the milestones, made the money: only to realize I felt stuck, bored, and disconnected. That experience taught me the dirty secret most people don’t talk about: the game of success, as the world defines it, can actually trap you. Today, I’m the founder of illumiShift, where I guide people through The Hidden Path™, a structured system to help them detox from noise, uncover their truth, and realign life on their own terms. Along the way, I share signature concepts like The Purpose Paradox (why chasing success without purpose leads to emptiness) and Fear as Fuel (how to transform fear into momentum). For your audience, this conversation isn’t just about my story, it’s about their story: - Why “having it all” often still feels empty. - How to recognize if they’re chasing society’s version of success instead of their own. - Practical tools for cutting through the noise and getting clarity on what actually matters. - How to break free from burnout, boredom, and finally start getting real traction in life.

Love is not the thunderclap that breaks the quiet sky,  But the steady rain that nourishes roots buried deep and shy.   It’s the cup of tea poured before dawn’s first light,   The hand held not in passion’s fire, but in the calm of night.   It speaks in gestures, soft and slow –   A jacket shared against the wind’s cold blow,   The knowing glance when words run dry,   The grace that lets the other fly.   It is the courage to be seen,   Behind the walls, where fears convene.   To stand unarmored, true, and bare,   And trust your soul to another’s care.   It does not shout with grand displays,   But kneels beside you through hard days.   It stitches wounds with patient thread,   And whispers hope when doubt is fed.   Love is the soil where forgiveness grows,   Where trust, once shattered, slowly mends and glows.   It does not tally wrongs or keep the score,   But opens wide a stronger, kinder door.   It is the quiet hum beneath life’s frantic sound,   A sanctuary where true peace is found.   Not just the blaze that lights the way,   But the warm ember that will not stray.   So let us love not just in sparks that brightly gleam,   But in the steadfast, patient, daily stream.   For love’s true strength is proven when it stays –   An oak that shelters through the stormy days.   It is not chains that hold you near,   But wings that lift away all fear.   Hosted on Acast.
