where transformation andintuition meet, aligning body,
mind, and spirit.
I'm Jennifer Pilates, yourintuitive guide, spiritual
thought leader and holisticwellness expert here to remind
you that even when life slowsyou down, there's power in the
pause.
Today we're diving intosomething we all experience
(02:07):
those unexpected detours, thedelays, the missed turns, and
those moments where life simplydoesn't go according to plan.
Let's be honest.
When plans shift or doors close,our first reaction isn't always
calm and acceptance.
(02:28):
Sometimes it's frustration,disappointment, or even
self-doubt, even fear.
We start questioning everything.
Why me?
Why now?
But what if, just what if thedelay, the change of plans or
that mis turn is actually divinetiming at work?
(02:52):
What if it's not a setback atall, but a sacred redirection?
A pivot of divine protection,because sometimes the
synchronistic flow needs spaceto maneuver, to place us exactly
where we're meant to be.
(03:12):
Think about it.
Maybe the train you missed savedyou from an accident or led you
to meet someone who would changeyour life.
Maybe the client whorescheduled, freed up time for a
conversation that expanded yourbusiness or your heart.
Maybe the roadblock wasprotecting you from energy that
wasn't aligned with your highestpath.
(03:33):
These inconveniences mightactually be divine
interventions.
Divine protections, divinepivots on your journey.
Whispering.
Not yet.
Not here.
Something better is on its way.
(03:55):
When we stay present instead ofpushing, when we breathe,
instead of forcing, we allowsynchronicity to unfold with
grace, each delay becomes anopportunity to practice
patience, each redirection amoment to realign with our
intuition, with our all knowingdivine inner self, each closed
(04:20):
door and invitation to expandand a new direction.
Each delay is a moment to say.
How is this happening for me?
What lessons are here for me?
What insights are here for me?
(04:43):
How is all of this happening forme and universe guide me to
feel, to see and align with thepower and the pause, the
blessing, and the redirection.
So today, if you find yourselfin a delay, sitting in traffic,
(05:08):
waiting on an answer or watchingplans unravel, take a moment to
whisper to yourself.
I trust the timing of my life.
I am divinely guided.
Even here, especially here,everything is working out for my
highest and best good.
(05:31):
And out of this situation, onlygood shall come.
And in that surrender yourenergy shifts.
The frustration softens the pathbegins to open.
Because when we stop resisting,what is the universe finally has
space to bring in what's meantfor us.
(05:59):
Every detour holds a lesson anda blessing.
Every pause holds a purpose andevery no.
Or not yet can become the bridgeto your greatest alignment, your
greatest achievement.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
