Alchemy Movement

During times of intense output, what are the three things that get me through? Grace Grit and Gratitude Maybe I don't have an hour to meditate, maybe the hotel gym looks like a crime scene, maybe I had too much wine at dinner...balance isn't perfect especially in times of high output. However, there are a few things you can always depend on...listen here for more.  

And so I return to current issues, I rarely find that engagement on current issues is fruitful, because people believe their politics like they believe their religion, but I do believe in a can call for  MINDFULNESS. Let me get a little personal…when the issues of the day interrupt your regularly scheduled programming. The new battle of the sexes, and holding space for others...A Call to Mindfulness.

Some of the most important lessons I have ever learned about business and life were not in college or even in business school, in fact they were not in school at all…and don’t get me wrong, I am an education proponent. Not sure I’m even done with it myself. However, the most useful information that I find in the ‘recently opened’ files of my mind are those I learned in HOME SCHOOL DEBATE LEAGUE.

It’s been two years and it’s time to say a few things. Lessons from the Road is a moment to reflect and honor my dad and the very real life lessons that his driving lessons imprinted. It’s been two years since my 9/11 and the synergy between the daily principles I live and my preteen driving lessons from dad are uncanny. The most important lessons about business and life, I learned behind the wheel of an old ford pickup truck, dad in the passenger seat. I was reminded in the last few weeks that he taught me a lot more than just how to safely operate a motor vehicle, he taught me to drive. I’m still driving and my car is full. Thanks for the lessons dad, for the patience, and for teaching me more than maybe either of us realized at the time. Learning to Drive on the Road to Real.

We would never choose to wear someone else's glasses yet we choose to see ourselves through other people's lenses all the time by internalizing their opinions.

This week we take a moment to focus on the glorification of exhaustion in our work culture and explore some practical thought tools to avoid the tipping point for chronic over-commitment in the workplace, appropriately scheduled on Labor Day. Secondly at the start of a new journey, a lesson for my younger self.

Thank you for tuning into the Alchemy Movement Podcast brought to you by Brynn Scarborough, MBA and 200 hour registered yoga teacher. Alchemy is the combination of elements and life is the balance of them, on this podcast we seek to explore various elements to enhance movement, enable change and create growth for leaders, seekers and doers. The methods are unconventional and include yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and authentic leadership, channeled through real conversations and accessible tools for everyday seekers. You don’t even have to own a yoga mat to listen, in fact, quite the opposite.
