                GET REAL ABOUT GRIEF Real Stories of Heartbreak, Hope, and Healing By Jennifer Barrette | Published by Blackstone Publishing | Coming January 5, 2027 Part story collection. Part survival guide. Part permission slip to feel it all. Grief. Just one syllable, yet it can rattle your entire world like an unexpected earthquake. And here's the thing about grief: it doesn't always arrive dressed in black, carrying flowers, or accompanied by a sympathy card. Sometimes it arrives with divorce papers. A devastating diagnosis. An empty chair at the dinner table. A miscarriage. A job loss. A beloved pet's final goodbye. Or the heartbreaking realization that the life you imagined is no longer the life you're living. Because grief isn't just about death. It's about loss. And if you've ever loved anything deeply, chances are you've grieved deeply, too. In GET REAL ABOUT GRIEF, bestselling author Jennifer Barrette takes readers on an extraordinar...

In 1921, artist and scientist Walter Russell entered a state of expanded consciousness that revealed the hidden structure of creation itself.

    Help Us Build the Make Peace With Life Movement What if one simple message could change someone's life? What if one podcast episode helped someone realize they weren't broken? What if one conversation helped someone smile again after months of struggling? That's why we created the  Make Peace With Life Podcast . This isn't just another podcast. It's the beginning of a movement. You Are Not Broken One of the biggest lies people hear today is that they're somehow "broken." The world constantly tells us we need to be fixed. That we're not successful enough. Not attractive enough. Not productive enough. Not spiritual enough. Not enough. We believe something very different. We believe that you are  not broken . You're human. You're growing. You're learning. You're evolving. Sometimes life knocks us down. Sometimes we lose our way. Sometimes we simply need someone to remind us that happiness is still possible. That's exactly what ...

    Courageous Communication: The conversations corrections leaders keep putting off Avoiding difficult conversations can undermine accountability, morale and operational readiness Every supervisor has a conversation they’re avoiding: the slipping report writer, the disengaged veteran, the two officers who stopped speaking. This article argues that putting those talks off slowly wears down accountability, morale and readiness until a small issue becomes a grievance, a use-of-force review or a resignation. It gives practical guidance on setting a calm tone before tension rises, giving feedback that develops rather than punishes, earning the respect that makes correction land, stepping into conflict early, and holding standards consistently, including with the people you like most. A real mentorship story shows what coaching looks like in practice. The core message is that leaders are judged by whether their people leave better than they arrived.
