Now there’s “ghostlighting,” when someone disappears without explanation, then shows back up weeks or months later acting like nothing happened. Instead of acknowledging the silence, they minimize it, explain it away, or leave the other person wondering whether they’re overreacting.But maybe ghostlighting points to something bigger than dating culture. We’ve become pretty skilled at avoiding uncomfortable conversations, whether it’s with someone we’re dating, a coworker, a neighbor, or even a friend. Disappearing can feel easier than dealing with conflict, but easier doesn’t always mean healthier. What would change if we became people willing to have the conversation we’d rather avoid?Scripture (NIV): Ephesians 4:15 – “Speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.”Reflection Questions:Is there a conversation you’ve been avoiding because disappearing, delaying, or staying quiet feels easier?What would it look like to tell the truth with both courage and kindness?👉 Join the conversation on the IOM FB Page: We'd love to hear your thoughts.

At just 23 weeks into pregnancy, a baby girl named Lynlee was partially removed from her mother’s womb so doctors could operate on a life-threatening tumor, then returned to the womb to continue growing.Twelve weeks later, Lynlee was delivered again, this time officially entering the world. It’s an extraordinary picture of medical skill, courage, and the fragile complexity of life before birth. And sometimes stories like this leave you with less to explain and more to simply wonder at: how often is God’s work unfolding through hands, knowledge, and people we might otherwise overlook?Scripture (NIV): Psalm 139:13 – “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.”Reflection Questions:When have you seen something extraordinary happen through the ordinary skills and faithfulness of other people?Do we sometimes separate God’s work from human skill when the two may be happening together?👉 Join the conversation on the IOM FB Page: We'd love to hear your thoughts.

But sometimes that listing represents something much bigger happening behind the scenes. Divorce can mean dividing finances, possessions, memories, and often the place a family once called home.There are even real estate professionals trained specifically to navigate property sales connected to divorce, which says something about how complicated these transitions can become.

But some students now feel pressured to exaggerate struggles, manufacture hardship, or hire expensive consultants to create the kind of personal story they think schools want to hear.Sharing a genuine challenge can reveal resilience and growth. But when vulnerability becomes a strategy and authenticity becomes another performance, are students being invited to tell the truth or simply learning how to market themselves?Scripture (ESV): Galatians 1:10 – “For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”Reflection Questions:Have you ever felt pressure to make your story sound more impressive than it really was?How can we pursue opportunities without turning our struggles into a performance for someone else’s approval?👉 Join the conversation on the IOM FB Page: We'd love to hear your thoughts.

But some students now feel pressured to exaggerate struggles, manufacture hardship, or hire expensive consultants to create the kind of personal story they think schools want to hear.Sharing a genuine challenge can reveal resilience and growth. But when vulnerability becomes a strategy and authenticity becomes another performance, are students being invited to tell the truth or simply learning how to market themselves?Scripture (ESV): Galatians 1:10 – “For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”Reflection Questions:Have you ever felt pressure to make your story sound more impressive than it really was?How can we pursue opportunities without turning our struggles into a performance for someone else’s approval?👉 Join the conversation on the IOM FB Page: We'd love to hear your thoughts.

And somehow, we notice. A smile in a picture feels so normal now that we almost read it as a sign of happiness, warmth, or approachability. But for a long time, smiling in formal photos was considered strange, unserious, or even inappropriate.That changed when cameras became more personal and companies like Kodak helped turn the smile into the expected expression of joy. Which raises an interesting question: how much of what we call “authentic” is actually something culture taught us to perform? And if joy is deeper than an expression, what would it have looked like on the face of Jesus?Scripture (NIV): Proverbs 15:13 – “A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.”Reflection Questions:When people see your face, do they see what is really going on in your heart, or just what you have learned to show?What do you imagine the expressions of Jesus revealed about His joy, sorrow, compassion, and love?👉 Join the conversation on the IOM FB Page: We'd love to hear your thoughts.

Which raises an interesting question: how much of what we call “authentic” is actually something culture taught us to perform? And if joy is deeper than an expression, what would it have looked like on the face of Jesus?Scripture (NIV): Proverbs 15:13 – “A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.”Reflection Questions:When people see your face, do they see what is really going on in your heart, or just what you have learned to show?What do you imagine the expressions of Jesus revealed about His joy, sorrow, compassion, and love?👉 Join the conversation on the IOM FB Page: We'd love to hear your thoughts.

Not medicine. Not another appointment. Just fresh air, nature, and a walk through God's creation.What makes this so interesting is that many people say they would actually be more likely to spend time outside if a doctor recommended it. Maybe that's because sometimes we're looking for permission to slow down, rest, and step away from the noise. But if nature can help restore our minds and bodies, what might happen if we spent more time connecting with the One who created it in the first place?Scripture (NIV): Psalm 19:1 — “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.”Reflection Questions:Why do you think it's so difficult to slow down and enjoy God's creation?What is one way you could intentionally step away from distractions this week?👉 Join the conversation on the IOM FB Page: We'd love to hear your thoughts.

A TikTok fashion creator recently showed the difference between the two, and it opened up a bigger conversation about just how confusing clothing sizes have become.One store calls it a small.

That’s because it is. What used to be 16 inches is now closer to 14—or even less. And it’s not just pizza. From groceries to paper towels, we’re quietly getting less while paying the same.But here’s the bigger tension… if we’re not paying attention, it’s easy to accept less without even realizing it. Not just with products—but in life, in standards, in what we settle for. So how do we stay aware of what’s actually being taken… and what we’ve slowly started to accept?Scripture (NIV):Ephesians 5:15 — “Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise.”Reflection Questions:Where in your life might you be settling for less without even noticing it?What would it look like to live more intentionally and pay closer attention?👉 Join the conversation on the IOM FB Page: We'd love to hear your thoughts.

Fashion has a way of doing that. One minute it’s oversized everything, the next it’s tailored. Skinny jeans are out, flares are in and even the words you use to describe them can give you away.It’s funny how fast trends shift, but it also raises a deeper question. If so much of what we follow is constantly changing, how do we know what’s actually worth holding onto? Because not everything in life is meant to go out of style.Scripture (NIV):Hebrews 13:8 – “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”Reflection Questions:What in your life is shaped more by trends than truth?Are you building your life on what changes or what stays the same?👉 Join the conversation on the IOM FB Page: We'd love to hear your thoughts.

Stolen takeout is not one of them. Neither is running out of milk. Or losing your dentures to a mosquito. And yet.This episode takes a lighter look at a few real 911 calls that probably shouldn't have been — and uses the absurdity to raise a question Proverbs 17 actually addresses: when is something worth escalating, and when is it just worth letting go?Scripture (NIV): Proverbs 17:14 — "Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam; so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out."Reflection Questions: What's something you've treated like an emergency lately that probably wasn't?

Do the right thing, give a dog a home, be part of the solution. But what happens when doing the right thing… doesn’t work? When families who are ready, willing, and loving get turned away without explanation—over technicalities they didn’t even know mattered?This episode looks at a growing tension in the rescue world: when protection becomes perfection and good homes are no longer enough. Because somewhere along the way, helping animals started coming at the expense of the people trying to help them. So what happens when systems designed for good lose sight of what actually matters?Scripture (NIV): Matthew 23:23 –“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!

Maybe a speeding ticket at worst. But imagine being taken into custody for helping people in need.That’s exactly what happened to Norma Thornton, a 78-year-old grandmother from Arizona.For nearly four years, she’s been faithfully showing up to a local park, cooking meals herself and feeding the homeless. But recently, a city ordinance changed everything.Now, in order to serve food in that same park, she needs a permit. Not only that, the permit is costly, only valid one day per month, and comes with strict requirements like using a commercial kitchen.Sometimes an act of compassion can become a legal issue.Scripture (NIV):Galatians 6:9 – “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”💬 Want to talk about it more?Have you ever tried to help someone and it didn’t go the way you expected?Let’s talk about what it looks like to keep showing up—even when it’s hard. 👉 <a href="https://www.facebook.com/insightout.media/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.facebook.com/insightout.media/</a>📩 Stay connected:Get weekly encouragement, faith-based insights, and behind-the-scenes content delivered straight to your inbox:👉 Subscribe here:<a href="https://insightout.beehiiv.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> </a><a href="https://insightout.beehiiv.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://insightout.beehiiv.com/</a>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">e9bd2dad-6b23-43c8-a555-63dda0f6bc37</guid><pubDate>Mon, 30 Mar 2026 07:00:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/70989800/e9bd2dad_6b23_43c8_a555_63dda0f6bc37.mp3" length="1761789" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Devin Almonte</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>What would you do if doing something good actually got you in trouble?Would it change how you serve or strengthen your resolve?Most of us don’t live our lives worried about getting arrested.

From Alexa and Siri to text alerts, email banners, and game notifications, we are constantly absorbing stimulation.

Motorized versus manual. He brought plenty of knowledge to the table. But when it came time to sign the contract, he rushed through the most important part and left wisdom behind.The result?

Run? Avoid it? Pretend it's not happening?Most of us spend our lives dodging discomfort. We change seats. We ghost the hard conversation.

That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."TODAY'S FAITH EXERCISE: Identify one uncomfortable situation you've been avoiding. Instead of running, walk into it while holding the Lord's hand.

into something better, only to realize you might be placing yourself at the center instead of God?It’s something that often creeps in quietly, especially around the New Year, when we're focused on goals, growth, and fresh starts.We talk a lot here about living better, feeling more positive, and uplifting our day and those are good things, but sometimes even good goals can start to shift into something self‑centered without us noticing.In this episode we explore:<ol><li>Why striving for a “better life” can secretly make you the center of your world</li><li>How building your own little kingdom can distract you from God’s greater purpose</li><li>What it really looks like to align your goals with His kingdom instead of just your comfort</li></ol><br />Sometimes God doesn’t call us to

center instead of God?It’s something that often creeps in quietly, especially around the New Year, when we're focused on goals, growth, and fresh starts.We talk a lot here about living better, feeling more positive, and uplifting our day and those are good things, but sometimes even good goals can start to shift into something self‑centered without us noticing.In this episode we explore:<ol><li>Why striving for a “better life” can secretly make you the center of your world</li><li>How building your own little kingdom can distract you from God’s greater purpose</li><li>What it really looks like to align your goals with His kingdom instead of just your comfort</li></ol><br />Sometimes God doesn’t call us to abandon positivity or good habits, He calls us to reframe their purpose.Scripture (NIV):“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” — Matthew 6:33💬 Want to talk about it more?What does “your kingdom” look like?Is your daily

not feeling them this year?You’re not alone.

That's something else entirely.Devin Almonte shares a hilarious (and convicting) story about reserved movie seats, manipulative "kindness," and the prayers we shouldn't actually pray. When someone sat in her carefully chosen seats and tried to spin it as doing her a favor, it revealed something we all do more than we'd like to admit.We mask our self-interest as generosity. We bend situations to suit ourselves while wearing the costume of kindness. And sometimes, we even pray manipulative prayers asking God to punish people instead of seeking His heart.In today's Anchor Point, Devin shares:<ul><li>The movie seat incident that revealed manipulative kindness in action</li><li>How we disguise self-serving behavior as generosity</li><li>The difference between true Christmas kindness and fake kindness</li><li>Why our angry "prayers" for justice are often just disguised revenge requests</li></ul><br />Scripture (NIV):1 Corinthians 13:4-5 – "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

That's something else entirely.Devin Almonte shares a hilarious (and convicting) story about reserved movie seats, manipulative "kindness," and the prayers we shouldn't actually pray. When someone sat in her carefully chosen seats and tried to spin it as doing her a favor, it revealed something we all do more than we'd like to admit.We mask our self-interest as generosity. We bend situations to suit ourselves while wearing the costume of kindness. And sometimes, we even pray manipulative prayers asking God to punish people instead of seeking His heart.In today's Anchor Point, Devin shares:<ul><li>The movie seat incident that revealed manipulative kindness in action</li><li>How we disguise self-serving behavior as generosity</li><li>The difference between true Christmas kindness and fake kindness</li><li>Why our angry "prayers" for justice are often just disguised revenge requests</li></ul><br />Scripture (NIV):1 Corinthians 13:4-5 – "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking."💬 Want to talk about it more?Quick poll: Would you call out someone sitting in your reserved movie seat, or just take a different seat?Bonus question: What's a time someone did you a "favor" that really wasn't a favor at all?Let's get honest about the ways we mask our self-interest as generosity. 👉 Join the conversation in the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/insightoutcommunity" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">InSight Out Community on Facebook</a>.📩 Stay connected:Get encouragement, reflections, behind-the-scenes moments, and more in the weekly newsletter: 👉 <a href="https://insightout.beehiiv.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Subscribe here</a>.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>124</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/62bd5d09e3530291ef89b880c28dd136.jpg"/><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episode>138</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Anchor Points | Ep. 137 | The One Thing Blocking Your Rescue</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/anchor-points-ep-137-the-one-thing-blocking-your-rescue--69071514</link><description><![CDATA[Ever feel like you're barely keeping your head above water?Like you're drowning in responsibilities, expectations, and the exhausting work of just making it through another day?Here's a question that might change everything: Are you letting anyone see you struggle?Lifeguards don't rescue swimmers who look like they're doing fine.

A simple story about running out of space turned into a deeper reflection on how we define need, and why our comfort zone might be shrinking our sense of contentment.Then we look at a promising new idea: free food vending machines popping up in places like the Bronx. They’re offering more than groceries, they’re offering hope. But are they just band-aids, or real solutions?And finally—the big one: dynamic pricing. Also known as surveillance pricing. Why are your online prices shifting based on your clicks, your zip code, or even your panic? From AI-driven airfare changes to price hikes based on your browsing habits, we dig into what’s fair, what’s not, and what the Bible says about honest scales.In today’s episode, Devin explores:<ul><li>Why a full freezer revealed a spiritual gap</li><li>Whether food aid programs are solving problems or just softening them</li><li>How companies are using your private data to raise your prices</li><li>What Scripture says about fairness, honesty, and being truly seen</li><li>Why a “free market” isn’t so free when surveillance sets the price</li></ul><br />Philippians 4:11‑12 (NIV) — “I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.

A simple story about running out of space turned into a deeper reflection on how we define need, and why our comfort zone might be shrinking our sense of contentment.Then we look at a promising new idea: free food vending machines popping up in places like the Bronx. They’re offering more than groceries, they’re offering hope. But are they just band-aids, or real solutions?And finally—the big one: dynamic pricing. Also known as surveillance pricing. Why are your online prices shifting based on your clicks, your zip code, or even your panic? From AI-driven airfare changes to price hikes based on your browsing habits, we dig into what’s fair, what’s not, and what the Bible says about honest scales.In today’s episode, Devin explores:<ul><li>Why a full freezer revealed a spiritual gap</li><li>Whether food aid programs are solving problems or just softening them</li><li>How companies are using your private data to raise your prices</li><li>What Scripture says about fairness, honesty, and being truly seen</li><li>Why a “free market” isn’t so free when surveillance sets the price</li></ul><br />Philippians 4:11‑12 (NIV) — “I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.”💬 Want to talk about it more?Have you ever noticed a price go up the more you click?

But somewhere along the way… it crumbled.What happens when the dream we were so sure about ends up draining us?A friend of mine spent nearly 20 years in an apartment post-divorce, dreaming of finally owning her own home. When it seemed like everything had finally fallen into place, she grabbed hold of that dream with both hands. And at first? It was perfect.But rising mortgage rates, heating costs, and unexpected repairs turned her once-perfect home into a source of daily stress. Eventually, she admitted something brutally honest:“This wasn’t God’s plan for me—it was mine. I just hoped He’d come along for the ride.”In this Anchor Point we explore:<ul><li>Why not all dreams are meant to be pursued</li><li>How to tell if it’s God’s dream or just our own ambition</li><li>A prayerful shift: asking God to shape your dreams instead of chasing your own</li><li>How even good desires can lead us away if we’re not seeking Him first</li></ul><br />Scripture (NIV):“In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” (Proverbs 16:9 NIV)💬 Want to talk about it more?Have you ever chased something that looked like a dream, only to find it brought more burden than blessing?What would it look like to ask God to shape that dream—or even take it away if it’s not from Him?Let’s talk about the dreams we hold and the dreams we surrender. 👉<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/insightoutcommunity" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Join the conversation in the InSight Out Community on Facebook</a>📩 Stay connected:Get encouragement, reflections, behind‑the‑scenes moments, and more in the weekly newsletter:👉<a href="https://insightout.beehiiv.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Subscribe here</a>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">5f75d927-b9e4-4b15-92de-4275734122a8</guid><pubDate>Wed, 12 Nov 2025 08:00:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/68533530/5f75d927_b9e4_4b15_92de_4275734122a8.mp3" length="4375627" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Devin Almonte</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Is every dream worth chasing?Maybe you’ve had one that looked beautiful on the surface—filled with hope, excitement, maybe even a little divine spark.

Like saying no to donuts at the office, only to find yourself giving in anyway. Why is it so challenging?Devin shares that following God is simple, but not easy. It requires sacrifice, time, and a heart that seeks Him over shortcuts.

Every six weeks, she sheds her skin, a process that leaves her cranky, restless, and uncomfortable. But it’s also the very thing that helps her grow and stay healthy.In today’s Anchor Point, Devin reflects on how Blur’s shedding reminds us of the pruning process in our own lives.

What do we do when we’ve done nothing wrong, but still carry the pain of loss, injury, or betrayal? How do we respond when justice feels slow—or never arrives at all?In today’s episode, Devin Almonte shares an honest reflection from a situation she’s currently walking through.

It’s about deepening relationship, building endurance, and holding fast to our hope in Him.🎧 In today’s Anchor Point, Devin explores:<ul><li>What it means to press on in your faith walk</li><li>How to keep going when your spiritual energy is low</li><li>Why trials and fatigue can actually draw you closer to Christ</li></ul><br />📖 Scripture (NIV):Philippians 3:14 – “I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”💬 Want to talk about it more?What’s an area in your life where you’ve been tempted to give up?How do you “press on” in faith when you’re mentally, physically, or emotionally worn down?Let’s encourage one another to keep going—even when we feel weak. 👉<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/insightoutcommunity" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Join the conversation in the InSight Out Community on Facebook</a>📩 Stay connected:Get encouragement, reflections, behind-the-scenes moments, and more in the weekly newsletter:👉<a href="https://insightout.beehiiv.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Subscribe here</a>]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>167</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/b038e928378a5b6ffa88ac7e69911993.jpg"/><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episode>21</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Second Look: Scored by Society.

It’s about trust, stewardship, and the unseen forces shaping our economy and our faith.From the collapse of the gold standard to biblical commands about honest scales, we'll look at what happens when a nation’s monetary system breaks down and how believers can respond not with panic, but with preparation and wisdom.In this episode, we’ll discuss:<ul><li>What Florida’s House Bill 999 actually means—and why it matters</li><li>Why fiat currency quietly punishes savers and rewards overspending</li><li>What Scripture says about honest weights and measures</li><li>How inflation functions like a hidden tax</li><li>Why preparing like Noah isn’t panic—it’s obedience</li><li>How to trust God while being wise about your resources</li></ul><br />This is about stewardship. Integrity. And remembering where our real treasure lies.📖 Scripture References:<ul><li>Proverbs 11:1 – “The Lord detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with him.”</li><li>Leviticus 19:35–36 – “Do not use dishonest standards when measuring length, weight or quantity…”</li><li>Psalm 24:1 – “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it…”</li></ul><br />🔗 Links &amp; Resources:<ul><li><a href="https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2024/999" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Florida House Bill 999 (2024)</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GXxH4COWYc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gov.

When prayers go unanswered, peace feels far off, and stress seems to have the upper hand?In today’s episode of InSight Out, we’re tapping into something a little deeper than wishful thinking. Because no matter how much we’d love a big red “easy button” to fix it all, Jesus never promised that.He didn’t offer shortcuts. He offered Himself.In this Anchor Point devotional, Devin Almonte explores why real peace doesn’t come from escape or ease—but from presence. We’ll reflect on John 16:33 and what it means to walk with Jesus through the hard stuff instead of around it.In this episode:•Why faith was never meant to be the fast track to comfort•What Jesus actually promised in John 16:33•The danger of chasing “easy” when we need “eternal”•Why the absence of answers doesn’t mean the absence of God•A reminder that peace isn’t in the fix. It’s in the FatherIf you’re tired, wrestling, or just hoping for a break, this episode is for you.📖 Scripture References:<ul><li>John 16:33 – “In this world you will have trouble.

Tangled life. Let’s stop yanking and start trusting.You reach into a drawer and pull out a big, knotted mess of cords. So what do you do? You shake them. Yank them. Pull harder. But it only makes the knots tighter.Sound familiar?In our Anchor Point today on InSight Out, we’re taking a look at how that same frantic energy often shows up in our everyday lives. We wrestle with relationships, money, stress, health, and expectations—believing that if we just do more or try harder, things will untangle. But instead of peace, we find panic. Instead of clarity, we end up in chaos.This story isn’t just about cords—it’s about the knots we carry in our hearts and homes, and what happens when we finally stop striving and start trusting God to untangle what we can’t.We’ll explore:•Why our frantic efforts often make things worse•What Scripture says about patience, perseverance, and surrender•How to release the pressure to fix it all•What it means to slow down and let God lead—one knot at a timeScripture Reference:📖 James 1:4 – “Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”🔗 Join the Conversation: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/insightoutcommunity" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">InSight Out Private Facebook Group</a>📩 Get the Weekly Newsletter: Sign up <a href="https://www.insightoutmedia.org/newsletter" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a> If this episode encouraged you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who’s feeling tangled up in life right now.
