Hello Hidden Pearls Fam!What a year it has been so far. We hope you all are well and staying present for all of the magic that is moving around us. This year has already brought some of our highest highs and our hardest lessons. It has asked us to spend a lot of time looking inward and has offered opportunities for us to shift our perspective and priorities. All in all, it has left us feeling so grateful for our community and so aligned with the work we are creating in Hidden Pearls Studio. How WILD that we are already in May. So many months away from the Super Bowl and already so many months closer to the start of a new season. Our intention with this episode is to share the practices and tools we are both using to stay present and awake with all that is moving around us. For those of you who are already on HPS and working through the classes with us - thank you for your support! And for those of you who have yet to give it a try, this episode shares insight into how the classes are structured and organized and why we are creating this content now.

GK HPP WK 20 POST-WILDCARD WEEKEND & NINER BYE WEEK / 2023 – We enter week 20 following an exciting lineup of games over the “Wildcard Weekend”. The playoff bracket is filled out for the Divisional Round this weekend, and after resting for a week the Niners spent this week preparing to host the 7th Seed Packers after they demolished the Cowboys on the road (48-32 - and it was not even that close!). Packers looked good and owned the game from start to finish. Another disappointing end of season for the Cowboys (sorry Micha, laugh now - cry later I guess?), but we shall not feel a twinge of pain for them as we look to this most important game as playoff football comes back to Levi's on Saturday!! It is now win or go home and Niners are right where they want to be. !2 Seed, homefield through playoffs, and a healthy and loaded roster. Pull up a chair and a favorite beverage as we review the playoff bracket, the road to the Superbowl, and the Niners game against the Packers!!

We now enter week 18, the last week of the regular season in the NFL, and while a lot of teams are still battling it out to secure their spot in the playoffs, the #1 seeds in both the NFC and AFC have been decided.

But this is what Championship runs are all about, if it was easy anybody could do it. But it isn't and each year only 1 team holds the trophy. So buckle up and join us as we preview the trip to DC and this game against the Commanders.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS HIDDEN PEARLS FAM!!!!GK HPP WK 16 / GAME 15 2023 (vs RAVENS-MNF) – Races in the AFC and NFC are tightening up and with 3 games left EVERY GAME MATTERS to see who's in-who's out and who will get the #1 seed and the coveted bye week going into the playoffs. Two weeks ago Cowboys looked unbeatable as they whipped the Eagles but then this week stumbled hard in Buffalo losing 31-10. With the Eagles losing to Seattle on MNF and with Niners win in the desert over the Cards 45-29, Niners now have a solid 1 game lead over Detroit, Dallas, and Eagles, along with tiebreakers over Eagles and Dallas. This week the Niners will unwrap a special present on Christmas day with a big-time matchup against the AFC #1 seed Baltimore Ravens, who visit Levi's Stadium to play the Niners on Christmas day in a thrilling MNF matchup. Better get your mind right and be ready to go because that will be a rocking- socking battle of 2 very good, and very physical, football teams.

Happy Holidays Hidden Pearls Fam!Niners are back at home this weekend after traveling out east to Philly to take on the then 10-1 Eagles. After a slow start they went on 6 straight possessions for 6 straight TDs. Deebo had a huge day with 138 total yards on 4 receptions for 116 yards and 3 TDs. While he was talking some smack he was walking some jack and backed it all up! Shout out to Randy Moss who before the game called Deebo out for talking and not producing in last year's NFC Championship game. What you say now Randy?? Brock was excellent again with no INTs and 4 TDs on 314 yards. Defense was great holding Eagles to just 46 yards rushing and limited Hurts to just 20 yards rushing on his scrambles, while adding 3 sacks. Coverage was amazing and repeatedly shut down the throwing game. Next up is NFC West rival Seahawks who are now 6-6 and have lost 4 of their last 5 games, including just 2 games ago to the Niners 31-13 in Seattle. With the Cowboys hosting the Eagles this weekend, the NFC #1 seed is up for grabs and every game counts.Hidden Pearls Studio : The first 100 members who join HPS with an annual membership get $100 off their membership for life!

201. WK 13 - 49ers vs Eagles with George Kittle, Emma & BruceGK HPP WK 13 / GAME 12 2023 (at EAGLES) – Niners are on the road again this week after traveling north to play the Seattle seahawks. While they made it look close in the 3rd quarter, Niners flexed and took care of business, earning the 31-13 win. Brock rose to the challenge again as did CMA and the entire offense. Defense rose up as well with 6 sacks and 2 turnovers. But all that is in the rearview mirror and old news as the eyes of the Niners have turned toward the east for their re-match with the NFC leading and #1 seed 10-1 Eagles. While their stats do not overwhelm you, they are simple a team with a lot of mojo and who keep finding ways to win. The last 2 weeks include wins over the Chiefs on the road and an OT win over the Bills. Niners will need to be at their best to take a “W” out of Philly and give them a chance to still earn the #1 seed in the NFC. Games in December determine Championship runs and HERE WE ARE!To submit #AskGeorge , #Football101 or 49ers TE gifts : https://www.hiddenpearlspodcast.com/contactHidden Pearls Studio : The first 100 members who join HPS with an annual membership get $100 off their membership for life!

First up though is a cross country trip to the surging Jaguars, who are now 6-2 and riding a 5 game win streak after defeating the Steelers 20-10. They also are coming off of their bye week so we should have 2 exciting, motivated, and rested teams ready to go.We have some very exciting news! 11/11 is the SOFT LAUNCH OF OUR APP!!!!

We got the fam together! Happy times when we can film the show in person :)Niners return home to the friendly confines of Levi's Stadium, after a tough couple weeks on the road leave them at 5-2. Sunday they host the 3-3 Bengals, who are riding a 2 game win streak and are 3-0 vs the Western Division NFC teams, having defeated the Rams, Cards, and Seattle already this season. Niners will try to get healthy, regroup after a tough loss against the Vikings last week 22-17, and get back into the win column before heading into their bye week. Great time to get back on track. Emma is leading another Women of the Niners event on November 16 from 6-9pm at Levi's stadium.

Welcome to 5-0 Niners fans!!! And all other Hidden Pearls fans! Wow do we love October. What a way to celebrate GK turning 30 and EKP's birthday coming up next week. Another big Niner win, this time a royal romp over the Dallas Cowboys 42-10, pushing the Niners to 5-0. George was on fire scoring 3 TD's, the first in his career, as was the Super Cyclone Brock Purdy, who went 17-24 with 4 TD passes and 252 yards, AND maybe most impressive, no INTs. Brock now has the #1 QB passer rating in the NFL. Kyle Juszczyk also had a receiving TD, and CMC and Mason each had a rushing TD (pushing CMC TD game record to 15??). Niner D showed up big once again, holding Dallas to 4/11 on 3rd downs, total yards of 197 with just 57 yards rushing. Dak was under pressure all night (sacked 4 times and multiple pressures and hits) and threw 3 INT's, with Gibson, Werner, and Burks all getting in on the action.This week off to visit the browns who sit at 2-2 and were off last week. Reports have it that DeSean Watson will not play but believe that when we see it. Offense is 5th in rushing at 144 pg. Myles Gerrett (leads NFL in sacks with 5.5) is waiting along with the 2nd best rush defense in the league (72 yrds pg) and 1st best pass defense in the league allowing only 125 yards passing pg. Very strong up front and at the corners and safety.

If you didn't know that Emma & George grew up on Pokemon... you do now. Join our Kittle crew for what feels like a family hour. We bounce around from GK's football fashion, EKP's funny stories from Japan, and BK shares a *hilarious* guided relaxation. It is an exciting week in the Kittle family as Emma has started her journey back to the states! And GK is getting ready for another home game at Levi's. We are happy to be back in the bay after the home opener against the NY Giants last Thursday night, where our 49ers won convincingly 30-12. Debo was a big factor with 6 receptions for 129 yards and 1 TD. Brock had another great outing with no turnovers and 310 yards passing and 2 TDs, finishing with a QB rating of 113. CMC added another 85 yards with relief from Mitchell adding another 42 yards. GK was very active in second half, ending with 7 receptions for 90 yards. Welcome home GK!! This all sets up this week's NFC West Divisional matchup vs our friends from phoenix the Arizona Cardinals, who surprised everyone last week with an upset win over the Cowboys 28-16.This week we are sending members of Operation Surf https://operationsurf.org to the football game. You can learn more about their mission and how they are helping veterans by channeling the healing powers of the ocean to restore hope, renew purpose, and revitalize community. https://operationsurf.orgWe interviewed Operation Surf in episode 94 of our podcast and popped a HP tent for their Surfathon where Emma taught a little yoga and breathwork on the beach!

PART 2Feeling very grateful for the opportunity to sit down with Bob Taylor again. Part 2 goes deeper into Bob's reflection of his healing journey and practices that both veterans and civilians can use to heal and also reduce the staggering numbers of veteran suicide. Bob shares how he reframes his stress, how important it is not to isolate, what his healing funnel looks like, and how good it can be on the other side of healing. We are honored to be able to support Bob's efforts and energy with the Patriot Promise and hope that you will help spread these resources around the veteran community.Thank you for listening,Emma & BruceShow LinksPart 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pS-JY82q_ZY&t=530spatriotproject.orgvetsandplayers.orgMindful Monday 174 - There Is No Stress - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zs0b1g5W5uIGetting The Love You Want by Harville Hendrix, PhD, and Helen LaKelly Hunt, PhDHappy Days by Gabrielle Bernstein Blue Zones by Dan Buettner"Make A Friend Save A Veteran" article - https://usawire.com/make-a-friend-save-a-veteran-thank-you-for-your-service/

There is a very large problem in our veteran community - Every day, 640 veterans attempt suicide, 22 veterans die, and over 5,500 are thinking about committing suicide. In fact, more veterans died from suicide in a ten-year period than during the entire span of the Vietnam War. Approximately 48% of all military members struggle after transitioning from military service. They lose their team, their identity, their mission, the friends, their purpose. All with no more than a handshake and a thank you. While at the same time often facing a plethora of physical and mental health issues. While difficult and a big challenge, these struggles don't have to be, and should not be, the end of their story. There is a bright and successful future available for every veteran if we can help them help themselves to reach their greatest potential. In this part 1 of our 2 part series, Emma and Bruce are joined by Air Force Veteran, Bob Taylor. His book, From Service to Success, is a lifeline for veterans who seek to move past the pain and trauma of service and adapt to a new way of living. This book is also a resource for any civilian who knows a veteran or is connected to the military in anyway. The more awareness we can bring to these alarming numbers, the more we can break the stigma around mental health and move from a perspective of weakness and brokenness, to one of opportunity and growth, we can begin to get people the help they need. According to Bob, “We need to find forgiveness for ourselves, find a new purpose, learn new tools and skills, and press forward so we don't spend the rest of our lives in the darkness.” In From Service to Success, Bob Taylor explains that while it's very important for veterans to have the means to support themselves, it is absolutely critical that they learn ways to become a part of their community, to forgive themselves, to develop healthy living styles, and to grab onto the best that life has to offer. The three most important steps for veterans to take after reading From Service to Success: •Create a mindset of gratitude •Find a way to sleep through the night—if necessary, seek help to get there •Discover a purpose bigger than themselves We really enjoyed getting to know Bob and hearing how his own personal quest for healing has transformed his life as well as influencing the lives of so many around him.Part 2 will be available next week! Bob's book can be found at: https://www.amazon.com/Service-Success-Mission-Purpose-Journey/dp/1636980171?nodl=1&dplnkId=e9fccd41-263d-486a-aa99-27d3ee921962If you know anyone who could benefit from this episode please share the link to the show or Bob's book. We encourage all veterans and retired players to join Merging Vets and Players. Our mission is to UNITE in community so that you still have a team when the uniform comes off. More information can be found at https://vetsandplayers.org . And if you decide to join you are invited to participate in our free Hidden Pearls Monthly Mindfulness Class. Thank you for listening!

Tight End University's first ever Player of the Year Award goes to.... Travis Kelce!!!Travis has always been larger than life in the Tight End world. It was an honor to host him at George's barn for this show. We filmed this episode a few weeks after TEU so it was really great to reflect on how special year 3 was for everyone involved.In this episode you'll hear about Travis' story of finding freedom through football, brotherly love, and trust with Andy Reid in Kansas City's system. We get into what it was like growing up in the Kelce household with his brother Jason, and how Travis has navigated staying true to himself through this different stages of his career.The power of the Kelce brother's love is showcased in their podcast New Heights and was on display for the world to see in this year's Super Bowl. Through his family's love and support, Travis has developed into a football powerhouse that is rewriting the game.We hope you enjoy the show!Emma & Bruce

This week on the podcast, Emma & Bruce sit down with recording artist Trevor Hall.Our family has spent a lot of time with Trevor's music playing through moments of our lives so it was a really special experience to connect with him in a different way. Trevor's new record, The Great In-Between, drops September 15 and is his first completely self produced project. This conversation pulls at the threads of where he found his freedom and inspiration both musically and spiritually. One of our favorite parts of the show is Trevor explaining how he relates to the energy of the muse. While some may see it as a switch that turns on and off, Trevor fully embodies the energy allowing it to move through him and guide him through transitions of both light, dark, and his new role as a father. We hope you enjoy the show and are reminded to pause and allow space for the magic of the great in-between.

This week on the show we have David Truesdale, who spent almost 28 years working for the Department of the Navy as a Special Agent in the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS). Even though a “civilian” technically, he was involved in 2 deployments (Iraqi and Afghanistan) and lead troops in combat settings. Upon his retirement from the Department of the Navy, David was working to reintegrate back into “normal” life but was facing some difficulties. Through his contact with several veteran support groups, and yoga (his wife had been a long-time yoga instructor), he found his way to healing. As David explains in the show, a big part of his journey has been yoga, mindfulness, and meditation. With the support and urging from his wife, he eventually became certified in several modalities and is now a Certified Warrior Yoga Teacher (C-WYT), a Warriors at Ease (WAE) Certified Teacher, and a Level 2 Integrative Restoration (iRest) Meditation Teacher. He is also a member of the Save a Warrior (SAW) Cohort 063 and is a founder and Board member (along with his wife) of the Warrior Spirit Project (WSP), a non-profit that provides free trauma informed yoga and meditation instruction to veterans and first responders. He is also a member of the Dallas Chapter of MVP. We know you will enjoy this one. Thank you David for being on the show!Emma & Bruce

Happy Thursday HPP Family!!The team went full throttle in July and recorded 5 shows. We loved all of them as we had football star Travis Kelce, recording artist Trevor Hall, author and Gulf War veteran Bob Taylor on talking about his new book “From Service to Success”. These are all great shows and we know you will love listening to them. We will be releasing these shows throughout August leading up to our NFL pre-season show with George the first week of September. This NFL HPP season is lining up to be very special. Of all of the shows we have recorded we chose to open the month of August with Yanti Amos, the Yogi-Ninja. Yanti and her story cross over so many interests and story lines that we believe everyone will enjoy it. Born in Australia to Indonesian parents, Yanti eventually became an international business lawyer working globally from countries in Asia as well as Europe. She was successful, making money, and thought she was living the life of her dreams. But a funny thing happened along the way. She woke up, literally. She was involved in an accident that left her laid up and forced her to take time off from work. In the space this provided she realized this was not the life she wanted and she was not the person she wanted to be. She left the practice of law and based on yoga sessions she experienced during her rehab, she got certified as a yoga instructor and within 6 years opened her own yoga studio in New York. From there the story takes some additional twists and turns eventually leading her to a black belt in karate, selling the studio, and then working fulltime with her husband in teaching Karate all over the world (as well as yoga through the Warrior Flow School). Please enjoy her humor, her wit, her resiliency, and her passion. Side note, in 2018 George and Bruce were in New York and attended a yoga class at Yanti's hot yoga studio!! Small world indeed. Enjoy the show and let's get pumped up for the 2023-24 NFL season!! Emma & Bruce-------Yanti Amos - https://www.yantiamos.comDonation Information: 1.
