    Bitcoin Integrity - Guardians of the Protocol - Uncle Rockstar Dev

    In this heartfelt and lively conversation, I sit down with Uncle Rockstar Dev—OG cypherpunk, BTC Pay Server co-creator, and beloved “Bitcoin uncle”—to explore Bitcoin as a vehicle for peace, community, and authentic living. We reflect on joyful in‑person moments (yes, including his surprise stint as a Las Vegas wedding officiant), why love and playfulness matter in a hyper‑technical world, and how financial freedom can radicalize peace by freeing us from control systems. We talk sovereignty across money, information, food, and energy; how to navigate information overload and AI anxiety with kindness and boundaries; and the role of service, ego as a healthy shield, and surrounding yourself with people who celebrate your growth. We also dive into current social-layer tensions in Bitcoin: what “Bitcoin is money” means in practice, why many support keeping the protocol focused on sound money over zero‑sum speculation, and how to avoid being “forked off” socially by conflict. Rockstar shares his path from building to advising, the importance of local community and daily contact, and a simple compass for chaotic times: are you having fun, and are you being kind? If not, recalibrate. This one’s a warm reminder to cultivate real relationships, protect your peace, and keep building a more loving, decentralized future. About Uncle Rockstar Dev Uncle Rockstar Dev is a cypherpunk, the massive contributor of BTCPay Server (one of the most important open-source payment tools in the Bitcoin ecosystem), and former Head of Bitcoin at Strike. Known for his pseudonymous identity and iconic face mask, Uncle Rockstar is now mostly retired, advising Bitcoin companies, officiating Bitcoin weddings (five and counting - if I ever get a boyfriend and married again he is going be our officiant!), and championing unity, kindness, and sovereignty at conferences worldwide. He grew up experiencing hyperinflation firsthand, which led him to cypherpunk philosophy and ultimately to building tools that empower people through Bitcoin.

    Canvas of Courage: How One Mom Transformed Cancer Into Creative Healing | Nerissa Balland

    Full episode with transcript and show notes: https://www.djvalerieblove.com/post/healing-cancer-art-motherhood-nerissa In this heart-to-heart, I sit down with Nerissa Balland—two-time cancer survivor, mom of two boys, artist, author, and NLP practitioner—to explore the intersection of creativity, healing, and transformation. Nerissa shares how she was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma while five months pregnant—and how picking up a paintbrush became her medicine. Eight years later, she's cancer-free and on a mission to help young moms facing cancer feel less alone. We dive deep into her book Canvas of Courage, interviewing over 100 young mothers with cancer, and why she chose the word "facing" instead of "battling." Nerissa unpacks the difference between art therapy and therapeutic arts, empath practices for protecting your energy, and why identity transformation is part of the healing journey—"You will never be the same person you were before. And that's okay." She also shares powerful insights on motherhood as a mirror, reframing failure as feedback, and how grief and gratitude can live together. https://nerissaballand.com https://instagram.com/nerissaballandart Grab a Copy of Nerissa's Book "Canvas of Courage: The Art of Healing, Hope, and Gratitude for Young Mothers Facing Cancer" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GJF5DLGW Support patient access to the book via GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/9e8632b1c  (00:00:32) Welcome and setting intentions for the conversation (00:03:00) Creativity, adversity, and cancer as shared human threads (00:04:05) From corporate creative to visual artist and two‑time cancer survivor (00:05:40) Writing Canvas of Courage and focusing on young mothers (00:08:33) Pandemic beginnings and searching for real support (00:10:57) Why storytelling matters more than stages and stats (00:14:58) Inviting women’s stories and the emotional toll of 100 interviews (00:19:01) Energy hygiene for empaths: pauses, sound healing, silence (00:22:34) Therapeutic arts vs. art therapy explained (00:25:18) From 1:1 work to workshops and arts in medicine (00:28:32) 'Facing' not 'battling' cancer; identity beyond labels (00:34:58) Grief and gratitude can coexist on the healing path (00:39:48) Scanxiety, PTSD, and practicing presence (00:43:42) Failure equals feedback: resilience for artists (00:47:37) Authenticity over toxic positivity; building a gratitude habit (00:51:33) Practice, awareness, and celebrating small wins (00:53:43) Motherhood as mirror: unconditional love and boundaries (01:01:36) Do your own work to parent well; faith and tools (01:04:37) Rewiring with NLP: being the DJ of your inner voices (01:08:36) Progress, not instant perfection; set realistic goals (01:12:57) The courage to live authentically and beyond past stories (01:13:57) Identity is not diagnosis, job title, or experience (01:19:04) Belonging, friendship, and adult community building (01:24:10) Support and connection for moms; discerning your yes and no (01:25:26) What Nerissa wants listeners facing cancer to know (01:25:43) Challenging beliefs: "cancer is a death sentence" and "cancer is bad" (01:29:32) Silver linings: marriage, presence, and authentic living (01:30:45) Closing gratitude, resources, and sign‑off ❤️  Join the LOVE Tribe for Free! https://djvalerieblove.com/subscribe   SUPPORT THE SHOW WITH V4V TIPS - Thank You! https://djvalerieblove.com/contribute   SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@djvalerieblove WEBSITE: https://djvalerieblove.com/podcast FOUNTAIN.FM: https://fountain.fm/show/761jhxFiibErm7eZZdlt APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dj-valerie-b-love-podcast/id1441540841 SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/6kZfzFZ3wKmWiljDajrJZ5?si=a9433473b06f464b RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/c-6698813 RSS: https://serve.podhome.fm/rss/4996bcea-e098-5a89-ac63-af7a3df7cb5d   FOLLOW DJ Valerie X: https://x.com/djvalerieblove NOSTR: https://primal.net/djvalerieblove SUBSTACK: https://www.notes.djvalerieblove.com/ FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/djValerieBLove INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/djvalerieblove/ LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dj-valerie-b-love/   DJ VALERIE’S FAVORITE TOOLS START9 - 5% OFF - Run a Node https://store.start9.com/discount/LOVE BITCOIN MENTOR - FREE consult for self-custody https://bitcoinmentor.io/aff/love/  AUDIBLE - Get 2 FREE Audiobooks https://www.audibletrial.com/bitcoin SHAMORY - Have Fun Learn Bitcoin 10% Discount  shamory.com/love SATSBACK - Get Bitcoin rewards when you shop https://satsback.com/register/Ezv2VLwKXgLd8X4Z DJ VALERIE’S FAVORITE EVENTS https://www.adoptingbitcoin.org/ https://btcplusplus.dev/ https://baltichoneybadger.com/ https://bitblockboom.com/ https://unconfiscatable.com/ https://bitcoinunconference.com/ https://afrobitcoin.org/ https://oslofreedomforum.com/ https://denver.space/   BUY, TRADE, STORE, MINE BITCOIN HODL HODL no KYC https://hodlhodl.com/join/NMKLQ RIVER FINANCIAL Buy Bitcoin Safely -Get Up to $100 in FREE Bitcoin https://partner.river.com/LOVE TREZOR - Get 10% OFF Trezor 5.0 and Onboarding Call https://affil.trezor.io/SHcT COLDCARD Discount 5%- Promo Code “PEACE”  store.coinkite.com/promo/PEACE SAZ MINING - Get $50 OFF your Bitcoin Mining Order https://app.sazmining.com/purchase?ref=DJVAL ALTAIR TECH - Get 1% OFF - Code "LOVE" - Mine Bitcoin and HEAT your home https://altairtech.io/  DJ VALERIE'S FAVORITE IDEAS WHAT IS VALUE FOR VALUE? - ADAM CURRY https://value4value.info/about/

    I Forgive You Dad - Happy 99th Birthday

    Full Post: https://www.djvalerieblove.com/post/i-forgive-you-dad In this intimate reflection recorded on what would have been my Dad, Fast Eddie’s 99th birthday, I share the complicated truth of loving a tough father shaped by war, hardship, addiction, and old-school beliefs. From Detroit streets and Coney Island hot dogs to long days at the racetrack and whispered mob connections, I revisit the chaotic, colorful backdrop of my childhood—and the ways it forged my resilience, boundaries, and hustle.  As I recount a rare conversation we captured on a camcorder about his World War II and Korea memories, I explore the compassion that grew when I finally heard his pain. This episode is a love letter and a letting go: a practice in forgiveness and gratitude for a man who never found peace but taught me grit, commitment, and how to make a killer Sunday sauce. I imagine him riding beside me in the mountains, meeting his grandkids, and seeing the world I love—technology, music, and awe—through softer eyes. Here’s to healing old stories, honoring our complicated people, and choosing to keep our hearts open.

    Rejection is God's Redirection and Protection

    Full episode with transcript and show notes: https://www.djvalerieblove.com/post/rejection-is-gods-protection-redirection In this solo episode, I open up about a recent dark night of the soul triggered by massive rejection—and how I’m working with it in real time. I share the spiritual reframe that’s been saving me: rejection as God’s protection and redirection.  I explore practical ways to self-coach your inner child, become the DJ of your mind, and assign new, empowering meaning to the past while standing in faith during the in‑between.

    Motherhood, Money, and Bitcoin: A Practical Path with Morgen Rochard CFA

    Full episode with transcript and show notes: https://www.djvalerieblove.com/post/bitcoin-financial-planning-families-morgen-rochard In this heart-to-heart, I sit down with Morgen Rochard—mom of three, founder of Origin Wealth Advisors, Bitcoiner, author, and podcast host—to explore the intersection of motherhood, money, and Bitcoin. Morgen shares how becoming a parent reshaped her business, inspired a family-first practice culture, and strengthened her approach to delegation and client service. We trace her path from Wall Street to independent wealth management and into Bitcoin—why her conviction grew gradually, how she began advising clients in 2016, and why she believes Bitcoin’s store-of-value phase naturally precedes broader medium-of-exchange adoption. We dive into practical personal finance: saving, behavioral money scripts, family meetings, age-appropriate responsibility, and teaching kids with hands-on money experiences. Morgen unpacks planning trade-offs (homes, cars, travel) and how to design resilient retirement strategies amid volatility—planning to age 100, managing sequence-of-returns risk, and aligning decisions with values. She also previews her next book on Bitcoin personal finance and offers compassionate encouragement to overwhelmed parents: start small, keep learning, and focus on progress over perfection. https://x.com/MorgenRochard https://www.originwa.com/ Grab a Copy of Morgen's Book "Personal Finance QuickStart Guide: The Simplified Beginner’s Guide to Eliminating Financial Stress, Building Wealth, and Achieving Financial Freedom (Personal Finance - QuickStart Guides)" https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08LBQGWSP/ (00:00:32) Introductions, motherhood juggle, and the "octopus mama" (00:01:56) Quality time with kids, independence, and parenting balance (00:04:25) How motherhood reshaped business, delegation, and firm culture (00:08:29) Leaving big banks to build a family-centered wealth practice (00:10:08) From aspiring doctor to Austrian economics and markets (00:13:32) Early Bitcoin exposure, safety concerns, and meeting Pierre Rochard (00:17:02) Advising on Bitcoin: cautious conviction and client adoption (00:20:57) Risk, Sharpe ratio, and Bitcoin’s maturation (00:22:56) Store of value before medium of exchange; path to unit of account (00:26:49) Taxes, circular economies, and easing people into custody (00:32:39) Morgan’s Personal Finance Quick Start Guide and behavior (00:36:06) Money scripts, trauma, and realistic optimization (00:38:41) Home, nesting, and the art of financial tradeoffs (00:41:35) Planning with volatility: sequence risk and runway in retirement (00:47:20) Longevity assumptions: why plan to age 100 (or beyond) (00:50:09) Lifestyle, meaning, and practical wellbeing in later life (00:51:19) Teaching kids money: chores, responsibility, and limited screens (01:00:40) Family finance education ideas and five-bucket frameworks (01:05:36) Allowances, cash vs. digital, saving and charity habits (01:11:32) Purpose, values, and planting seeds over prescriptions (01:15:43) Encouragement for overwhelmed parents and where to find Morgan (01:18:54) Final reflections: small steps, resources, and goodbyes ❤️  Join the LOVE Tribe for Free! https://djvalerieblove.com/subscribe   SUPPORT THE SHOW WITH V4V TIPS - Thank You! https://djvalerieblove.com/contribute   SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@djvalerieblove WEBSITE: https://djvalerieblove.com/podcast FOUNTAIN.FM: https://fountain.fm/show/761jhxFiibErm7eZZdlt APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dj-valerie-b-love-podcast/id1441540841 SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/6kZfzFZ3wKmWiljDajrJZ5?si=a9433473b06f464b RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/c-6698813 RSS: https://serve.podhome.fm/rss/4996bcea-e098-5a89-ac63-af7a3df7cb5d   FOLLOW DJ Valerie X: https://x.com/djvalerieblove NOSTR: https://primal.net/djvalerieblove SUBSTACK: https://www.notes.djvalerieblove.com/ FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/djValerieBLove INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/djvalerieblove/ LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dj-valerie-b-love/   DJ VALERIE’S FAVORITE TOOLS START9 - 5% OFF - Run a Node https://store.start9.com/discount/LOVE BITCOIN MENTOR - FREE consult for self-custody https://bitcoinmentor.io/aff/love/  AUDIBLE - Get 2 FREE Audiobooks https://www.audibletrial.com/bitcoin SHAMORY - Have Fun Learn Bitcoin 10% Discount  shamory.com/love SATSBACK - Get Bitcoin rewards when you shop https://satsback.com/register/Ezv2VLwKXgLd8X4Z DJ VALERIE’S FAVORITE EVENTS https://www.adoptingbitcoin.org/ https://btcplusplus.dev/ https://baltichoneybadger.com/ https://bitblockboom.com/ https://unconfiscatable.com/ https://bitcoinunconference.com/ https://afrobitcoin.org/ https://oslofreedomforum.com/ https://denver.space/   BUY, TRADE, STORE, MINE BITCOIN HODL HODL no KYC https://hodlhodl.com/join/NMKLQ RIVER FINANCIAL Buy Bitcoin Safely -Get Up to $100 in FREE Bitcoin https://partner.river.com/LOVE TREZOR - Get 10% OFF Trezor 5.0 and Onboarding Call https://affil.trezor.io/SHcT COLDCARD Discount 5%- Promo Code “PEACE”  store.coinkite.com/promo/PEACE SAZ MINING - Get $50 OFF your Bitcoin Mining Order https://app.sazmining.com/purchase?ref=DJVAL ALTAIR TECH - Get 1% OFF - Code "LOVE" - Mine Bitcoin and HEAT your home https://altairtech.io/  DJ VALERIE'S FAVORITE IDEAS WHAT IS VALUE FOR VALUE? - ADAM CURRY https://value4value.info/about/

    5 Pillars to Make Menopause FUN! - Marjie Martini

    In this candid, empowering conversation, I sit down with menopause strategist Marjie Martini to bring light, language, and laughter to a phase too many women are told to just endure. Marjie unpacks her decade-long journey—misdiagnoses, brain fog, bleeding crises, a lifesaving hysterectomy, and ultimately thriving with tailored bioidentical hormones and lifestyle shifts. We walk through her Five Pillars—hormones, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress (plus the bonus: community)—and how to approach change without overwhelm by focusing on one lever at a time. From sleep rituals and protein-forward meal prep to cortisol-calming tactics, partner support, and navigating care options and costs, this episode is a practical roadmap to reclaiming wellbeing across a 10–15 year transition that’s different for every woman. We also discuss why “maintenance is cheaper than repair,” the cognitive and bone-health implications of declining estrogen, the nuances of lab testing and finding the right hormone doctor, and why tools must evolve as you do. Marjie shares resources, real client wins, and concrete strategies for women—and their partners—to reduce stigma, advocate at work, and make menopause not just bearable, but a season to play, lift heavy, love big, and lead with fewer f*cks given about the noise and more care for ourselves and each other.
