episode John Morrison | Legacy Life Reflections — On the Golf Course of Life! Family, Golf, and the Art of Asking (& did we mention Golf?!) cover

Description

In this special Legacy Life Reflections episode, Chris Grimes welcomes John Morrison — with his family gathered in the room to bear witness! From the terrace of Henbury Golf Club, his "clearing" of 38 years, John traces a full and generous life: a strict, loving mother who called her children "the jewels in her crown of life"; a working life that ran from PE teacher to trusted financial adviser across 42 years; and the firm he built and has since passed to his sons, Dave and Andrew. He pays a moving tribute to his brother Bobby, who lived with Down's syndrome and, in John's words, was "a totally fulfilled human being." He celebrates a lifetime of music — from Elton John and George Michael to a deep love of Lindisfarne — and reflects, with real emotion, on a family that sticks together in the face of loss. Warm, funny and deeply human. In this episode: - 38 years at Henbury Golf Club, captaincy in 2015, and life as a category-one golfer - His mother, the matriarch who steered him into teaching — and "the jewels in her crown of life" - A 42-year working life: seven and a half years as a PE teacher, then 35 in financial advice - Teaching in Watford, a few doors from a young George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley - An honorary degree, decades on, from the University of Gloucestershire (the old St Paul's College) - A heartfelt tribute to his brother Bobby - A life in music: Elton John, George Michael, 10cc and Lindisfarne - Love and loss in the family, and the daughters-in-law who "make their own luck" - The sales lesson that became a life motto: "Until you ask the question, the answer is always no" - How he'd most like to be remembered — the poem "Afterglow" Tune in next week for more stories of 'Distinction & Genius' from The Good Listening To Show 'Clearing'.

Teenager Takeover: Gun Control is a War Crime

TT: Gun Control is a War Crime In this episode the teenagers (Deven and Ethan) talk about a handful of examples of the government ruining people’s lives, from gun control, public schools, mass surveillance, and much more. They also talk about how we the people can stop this from continuing. As a bright note, the teenagers also bring up wins for the public like FISA 702 failing the vote. "To ban guns because criminals use them is to tell the law abiding that their rights and liberties depend not on their own conduct, but on the conduct of the guilty and the lawless."  -Lysander Spooner Thank you to this list of Republicans who voted against FISA 702: Lauren Boebert, Josh Brecheen, Tim Burchett, Eric Burlison, Kat Cammack, Michael Cloud, Andrew Clyde, Eli Crane, Warren Davidson, Troy Downing, Russ Fulcher, Paul Gosar, Harriet Hageman, Mike Kennedy, Thomas Massie, John Rose, Chip Roy, Michael Rulli, and Keith Self.

episode LIVE with The Famous Dr AL and Anette DeMattio artwork

LIVE with The Famous Dr AL and Anette DeMattio

Guest: Anette DeMattio Episode Overview  What if the strength you've relied on your entire life is actually keeping you stuck? In this powerful conversation, Annette DeMattio shares how surviving six cancer diagnoses, childhood trauma, and years of pushing through led her to discover the hidden dangers of living in constant survival mode. Learn how to recognize burnout, reconnect with your body, ask for help without guilt, and build lasting resilience that supports both your health and relationships. Key Takeaways * Being "the strong one" often comes from survival—not true well-being. * Chronic stress and ignoring your body's signals can contribute to burnout and declining health. * Small daily acts of self-care create long-term transformation. * Success without balance can damage your health and relationships. * Healing begins by learning to receive support instead of carrying everything alone. Listener Q&A Q: Why is asking for help so difficult?  Because many people equate needing help with weakness, making their identity dependent on always being the one who gives. Q: What are signs I've been carrying too much for too long?  Persistent headaches, muscle tension, digestive issues, fatigue, chronic pain, and feeling emotionally drained are common warning signs. Q: Can someone be successful but still be in survival mode?  Yes. High achievement can mask emotional exhaustion, damaged relationships, and neglected health. Q: What's one simple habit to start healing today?  Pause for a few minutes each day to breathe deeply, check in with your body, and ask yourself, "What do I need right now?" What You'll Learn From This Episode * How survival mode quietly shapes your decisions. * The connection between emotional patterns and physical well-being. * Why resilience includes receiving help—not just giving it. * Practical ways to reduce stress through simple daily rituals. * How to become "soul strong" without sacrificing yourself for everyone else.

Gina Gardiner & Friends with Sharon-Ann Philips on Heartbreak To Hope

Author: Sharon-Ann Phillips At the height of her life, Sharon-Ann Phillips was given just six months to live. What followed was a decade-long battle with multiple cancers, heart failure, and the devastating impact of misdiagnosis.  In Why Me?, Sharon shares her deeply personal journey of faith, resilience, and survival. From the shock of her first diagnosis to the trials of treatment, family loss, and unexpected setbacks, this memoir shines a light on the strength it takes to keep going when the odds are stacked against you.  More than a story of illness, this is a testament to hope. Sharon’s determination to live for her children and grandchildren, along with her belief that every challenge has meaning, offers inspiration to anyone facing adversity. This book also raises crucial cancer awareness and highlights the dangers of misdiagnosis, an issue Sharon now campaigns passionately to change. Additionally, her story encourages the importance of emotional support workshops for individuals grappling with similar challenges.  Available at Amazon A story of heartbreak. A story of survival. A story of hope. Website: https://heartbreaktohope.co.uk [https://heartbreaktohope.co.uk/]
