Ep. 469 - The Transformational Truth on the Difference Between Passion and Purpose - Jade Simmons

September 18, 2023 • Tina Griffin

So many people misunderstand the difference between passion and purpose, which leads to major confusion, explains dynamic speaker, concert pianist, and team leader Jade Simmons. Jade is the CEO of Jade Media Global and her book, Purpose The Remix: A Mind-Blowing Reunderstanding of Purpose and How It Works, inspires readers to find their purpose and dig deep to discover their true calling. Jade explains how people often confuse temporary passion with lifelong purpose and why finding your purpose is incredibly important! In addition, Jade offers wise advice on how to speak with and encourage despondent and suicidal individuals who feel purposeless.

TAKEAWAYS

We have relinquished having a life of consequence to Hollywood celebrities, politicians, and historical figures

People often believe that purpose is merely their job title or their career, but it goes much deeper than that

Women can often feel confused about their purpose because they are pulled in so many different directions as a spouse, mother, etc.

Don’t follow your passion because it’s only a fuel source and it is temporary - follow your purpose instead

Ep. 789 - Men Struggle With Pride Due to a Significant Fear of Failure - Richard Simmons

March 31, 2025 • Tina Griffin

Why do men have difficulty being transparent and sharing vulnerable details about their lives? According to Richard Simmons, it comes down to problems associated with pride, which drives men to worry about being seen as a failure by those around them. Richard is a bestselling author and the founder of The Center for Executive Leadership. He has written and spoken extensively on the critical topic of pride and how it intersects primarily with the male psyche. He explains why men especially struggle with pride and humility, and how pride is, quite literally, the driving force behind so many of humanity’s problems, from wars to parenting struggles. Pride and unhealthy comparison are deadly, and make people unhappy. He encourages us to live a humble life. TAKEAWAYS Men particularly base their identities on how well they perform in the workplace Parents put a lot of pressure on their children to succeed in life, most likely because it makes them look good When you compare yourself to others, it can make you sad and discontent with your own life Pride is truly the chief cause of misery in this world 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Kerusso T-shirts (get 15% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/4jt6cus Overcome the Fear of Failure video: https://bit.ly/3qjsqqd The Power of a Humble Life book: https://bit.ly/43luxwc 🔗 CONNECT WITH RICHARD SIMMONS Website: https://richardesimmons3.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/richardesimmonsiiihttp://www.facebook.com/richardesimmonsiii Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/richardesimmons3http://www.instagram.com/richardesimmons3 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thecenterbhamhttp://www.youtube.com/@thecenterbham Podcast: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/richard-e-simmons-3http://spotify.com/pod/show/richard-e-simmons-3 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Medi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffinhttp://www.medishare.com/tina-griffin Redemption Shield (get 10% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/3wzgeiq Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ MasterPeace: https://bit.ly/counterculturemom 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/counterculturemom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://bit.ly/fpmccmshow 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageccm 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2023 Recap & 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/ccm23impactreport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

Ep. 787 - Child Sex Abuse Survivor Shares Importance of Privacy and Body Autonomy - Adrianne Simeone

March 26, 2025 • Tina Griffin

Kids are being exposed to sexual material at younger and younger ages, but there is no benefit to normalizing sexual behavior for children, despite what secular sex-ed advocates may claim. Adrianne Simeone is a child sexual abuse survivor and the founder and director of The Mama Bear Effect. She is passionate about equipping parents to educate their children about the importance of advocating for their privacy and bodily autonomy. Parental education on this issue is essential for preventing child sex abuse, and it’s important to remember that sex abuse is often perpetrated by someone the child knows and trusts. Parents are the primary protectors of their kids, so stay vigilant and know that abuse is real, it’s common, and it’s up to you to draw safe boundaries for your children. TAKEAWAYS Children who are abused are almost always abused by someone at home or in the home of someone they trust People who engage in sexual abuse often compartmentalize their own behavior and split their personalities between two sides of their life Cultivating a strong parent-child relationship is key in helping kids avoid sex abuse You must speak up about abuse when you see it so that you can save future potential victims from suffering 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Pop Culture Purge Tour: Text TOUR to 55444 Adrianne video: https://bit.ly/3f0m2zm My Body is Special and Private book: https://amzn.to/41azwdn Let’s Talk About Secrets book: https://amzn.to/4kbfgy7 🔗 CONNECT WITH ADRIANNE SIMEONE Website: https://www.themamabeareffect.org/http://www.themamabeareffect.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mamabeareffect/http://www.facebook.com/mamabeareffect Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mamabeareffect/http://www.instagram.com/mamabeareffect X: https://x.com/mamabeareffect YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themamabeareffecthttp://www.youtube.com/@themamabeareffect 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Covenant Eyes: https://bit.ly/thehealingchurchfreebook Institute For Creation Research: https://www.icr.org/tina Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ MasterPeace: https://bit.ly/counterculturemom 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/counterculturemom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://bit.ly/fpmccmshow 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageccm 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2023 Recap & 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/ccm23impactreport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/
