    Leading with Empathy: Dr. Jen Johannsen on Faith, Fear, and Finding Peace

    In this transformative episode, Rocky sits down with Dr. Jen Johannsen—a writer, coach, and former dentist—who helps people move from burnout to balance by reconnecting with their bodies, emotions, and deepest truths. After years of struggling with seasonal depression, professional burnout, and emotional disconnection, Jen turned inward. Through spiritual awakening, study, and self-inquiry, she began a journey of healing that now shapes her work helping others do the same. She shares her path from subconscious survival to intentional living and how tapping into emotional regulation, consciousness, and compassion can radically reshape how we show up in divided spaces. Drawing from the work of Eckhart Tolle, Dr. David Hawkins, and her own lived experience, Jen unpacks what it means to operate from fear vs. love, and how understanding our emotional "state" can change the way we engage across political, spiritual, and relational lines. Together, they explore: How trauma and emotional dysregulation influence belief systems The “Map of Consciousness” and its relevance to modern spiritual and political dialogue Practical tools for emotionally safe, permission-based conversations What to do when you're not ready to engage—and how hunkering down can still be holy The intersection of activism, nervous system health, and relational healing 💬 “We don’t need to be right—we need to be real. And regulated.” Whether you're navigating tough conversations about faith, identity, politics, or family, this episode offers grounded insight, emotional clarity, and practical guidance for anyone ready to build bridges in divided times. 📎 Links & Resources: 📝 Jen’s blog: https://grounded-now.com 📲 Instagram: @grounded.with.jen 🧠 Dr. David Hawkins: Map of Consciousness 📚 Eckhart Tolle: A New Earth https://eckharttolle.com 🛠 Free emotional regulation tools: See Jen’s website Richard Rohr – Center for Action and Contemplation: https://cac.org Colby Martin – Website: https://www.colbymartinonline.com – Substack: https://colbymartin.substack.com Glennon Doyle – Book: Untamed – https://momastery.com Good News Club (Mentioned for context) – https://www.cefonline.com/ministries/goodnewsclub Find Out Podcast – Hosted by Tim Fullerton – https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/find-out/id1742162137 Midas Touch Podcast Network – https://www.midastouch.com Pete Buttigieg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Buttigieg                                            Referenced frequently as a model for bridge-building dialogue Abigail Spanberger – https://abigailspanberger.com – (Mentioned in context of her campaign for Governor of Virginia)

    Reaching More Hearts: Odette & Nathalie on 1946 in Spanish

    Welcome back to Season 2 of 1946: The Culture Shift Tour! In this meaningful episode, we sit down with Odette Miranda and Nathalie Maldonado, two incredible women who helped bring Spanish subtitles to the groundbreaking documentary 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture. Odette and Nathalie share why this work matters deeply in Spanish-speaking faith communities, how their personal journeys as LGBTQ+ Christians shaped their involvement, and the behind-the-scenes challenges of translating both language and heart into the subtitles. 💬 “It’s not just a translation—it’s an invitation to healing for millions.” For the first time ever, Spanish-speaking audiences can experience the documentary with LATIN SPANISH subtitles—available now on Eventive.org Available subtitle languages include: Simplified & Traditional Chinese Thai Japanese French Dutch Spanish (NEW!) Important Update for Our Community: While our incredible supporters helped us create subtitle files, we recently learned those files are not fully compatible with Apple TV’s compliance requirements. To move 1946 globally across Apple and YouTube platforms, we now need to redo all subtitle files—a project that comes with a $10,000 unexpected bill. Until we complete that milestone, the film is only available worldwide on Eventive at a special price of $6.99. We want to be transparent about the ongoing work and costs it takes to share this message across languages and platforms.
