Hello to you listening in Newport News, Virginia!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Maybe like me you feel on constant alert - trying to hold it together with compassion, hope and humor even while those who cause all this suffering want to rob us of that as well. No one and no place feels safe.We humans were not designed nor created for being on nonstop vigilance; it raises our blood pressure, our heart rate, our anxiety, while creating damage physically, mentally, emotionally. It interferes with our work, our relationships, our concentration and sleep. It harms our sense of safety, security, and control, manifesting in even greater fear and anxiety about what happens next. No  wonder we feel the way we do.I have a solution! In this space you can count on a few moments of relief, inspiration and hope. In our hands change means hope. It's what I want for myself; so I'm sharing it with you.  Story Prompt: How are you attending to yourself and your loved ones, holding steady while not losing hope? Write that story and tell it out loud! You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Hello, to you listening in San Lorenzo, California!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Maybe like me you've gotten stuck. Maybe you're stuck now; you don't know what to do.If you're stuck, don't watch what you think; watch what you do. You can walk your way clear. Walking activates a storehouse of strengths, experiences, helpful teachings, solutions gathered over your lifetime. Feeling connected with the earth liberates our imaginations.4 Steps:✓ Decide on the issue you want to bring on your walk,✓ Invite your Creativity to come along and fully expect it will show up,✓ Toss out possibilities, ideas or solutions for your Creativity to work on with you, and✓ As you walk let your mind wander but every now and again come back to the issue at hand.Sooner than you expect solutions will fall into your consciousness. Guaranteed! Because “All truly great thoughts are conceived while walking.” [Friedrich Nietzsche] You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Hello to you listening in Fremont, California!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.In college I was taught by lay faculty and Benedictine monks.  Today I follow Joan Chittister, an American Benedictine nun, theologian, author, and speaker who is known for being an outspoken advocate of justice, peace and equality focusing on the empowerment of women.In her book, The Monastic Heart - 50 Simple Practices for a Contemplative and Fulfilling Life, Chittister writes, “A spirituality of work is that process by which you finally come to know that your work is God's work, unfinished by God because God meant it to be finished by you.” I say my work is "helping women shape and share their story by discovering: Who am I? What's my why or work? How do I do my work differently?"But the notion of “spirituality of work” puts a different spin on things. Is this truly my work? If so, how is it meant to be finished by me?Story Prompt: What's your work and how will you finish it? Write that story! And tell it out loud!You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Hello, to you listening in Salford, England!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.I practice the Five Remembrances as taught by Thich Nhat Hanh: I am of a nature to get old, get sick, and die, be separated from those I love, and there is nothing I can do about it. Sounds grim, right? Now what?Maybe the Five Remembrances serve as an invitation to ask ourselves:✓ What does my Life want?✓ Am I living my Life being true to who I am?✓ Am I doing what is most important to me?✓ How do I embrace the singular opportunity I've been given to live this Life, to be of use?✓ How do I summon the willingness and courage to set out on a different path to claim my true purpose?  Question: It's your story.

When your child's emotions spiral into a meltdown, it can feel like everything in family life stops. The crying, yelling, or tantrum behavior takes over—and no amount of reasoning or sticker charts seems to help. You're not alone.The truth is, those first 60 seconds of any child meltdown make a huge difference. Whether it's toddler tantrums at nap time, an upset older child after school, or an autistic child overwhelmed by sensory overload, how you respond sets the tone.In this episode, I share three science-backed steps to help you stay calm, reduce power struggles, and guide your child back to calm behavior.Why does my child's meltdown get worse when I try to talk them down?When your child is having an emotional meltdown, it's natural to jump in with explanations, logic, or questions like “Why are you acting this way?” But here's the important point: over-talking adds fuel to the fire.Say less. Too many words overwhelm an upset child.Use a calm voice. A simple phrase like “I'm here. You're safe.” can be incredibly helpful.Silence is powerful. Sometimes a quiet spot and nonverbal reassurance calm behavior faster than talking.It makes sense—when your brain is in survival mode, logic can't land. A child's tantrums are communication, not misbehavior.What should I do first when my child is melting down?When your child is in the middle of an emotional meltdown, it's instinct to explain, reason, or ask “Why are you acting this way?” But here's the important point: over-talking makes tantrum behavior worse.Say less. Too many words overwhelm an upset child's emotions.Use a calm voice. A short phrase like “I'm here. You're safe.” helps your child calm faster.Silence works. Sometimes a quiet spot and steady body language soothe toddler tantrums, an older child's strong emotions, or even an autistic child facing sensory overload.When the brain is in survival mode, logic can't land. Behavior is communication—not misbehavior.How can I comfort my child without making things worse?You can't force emotional regulation—but you can model it. Co-regulation is how kids learn coping skills and positive behavior.Offer presence, not pressure. Sit nearby without hovering or demanding.Mind your body language. Get down on your child's level—kneel with younger kids or sit near an older child.Use gentle gestures. If it feels safe, a light touch on the back or shoulder can help an upset child calm.Think of it as creating a safe space where your child—whether a toddler in a tantrum, an older child with big emotions, or an autistic child in sensory overload—can borrow your calm until they find their own self-control.Yelling less and staying calm isn't about being perfect—it's about having the right tools.Join the Dysregulation Insider VIP list and get your FREE Regulation Rescue Kit, designed to help you handle oppositional behaviors without losing it.Download it now at www.drroseann.com/newsletterWhy does this approach work for both younger kids and older kids?These steps aren't random tips—they're grounded in child development and neuroscience.Polyvagal theory shows that calm cues shift the brain out of fight-or-flight.Mirror neurons explain why kids copy...

In this episode of The Energy Code, Dr. Mike Belkowski teams up again with Don Bailey, CMO of BioLight, for a fast-paced Q&A session that delves into the essentials of mitochondrial health. Unlike last week's long-form conversation, this episode brings a rapid-fire format — Don poses questions and Dr. Mike answers in 60 seconds or less. The result? A high-energy episode that delivers bite-sized yet powerful insights into how your mitochondria drive energy, longevity, and resilience. From everyday lifestyle choices to cutting-edge supplements like methylene blue, carbon 60, and urolithin B, Dr. Mike breaks down the science of mitochondrial optimization into clear and practical takeaways. Key Topics Covered Mitochondria 101: Why they're called the power plants of the cell and why density matters for energy and health  Quality Control & Renewal: Autophagy and mitophagy as cellular “cleanup crews” clearing zombie mitochondria  Lifestyle Impacts: Sleep, light, grounding, emotional health, and EMF exposure as daily influences on mitochondrial function  Exercise & DNA: Why no single type of workout fits everyone, and how genetic differences shape exercise outcomes  Eating Patterns: Intermittent fasting, time-restricted eating, and the ketogenic diet's link to deuterium depletion   Supplement Spotlight: Methylene Blue & Lueko Methylene Blue: restoring electron flow in mitochondria and synergizing with red light  Carbon 60: a powerful regenerative antioxidant that mitigates oxidative stress  NAD Precursors (NMN/NR): boosting energy efficiency in the electron transport chain  PQQ & Urolithin B: driving mitochondrial biogenesis and clearing out dysfunctional mitochondria  Mushrooms, Shilajit, and synergistic blends in BioBlue's new Fountain of Youth supplement  Big Unknowns: What researchers still don't know about mitochondrial fusion, fission, and their roles in disease  Key Quotes from Dr. Mike “The more energy we produce per cell, the healthier we are. Less energy brings us closer to disease.” “Thoughts and emotions literally shape your mitochondrial health by imprinting on the water in your body.” “Methylene blue can literally restore energy production in a dysfunctional mitochondrion.”   Key Quotes from Don Bailey “I love this rapid-fire style — it keeps us moving from question to question, making it easier to grab key nuggets.” “That's why I talk on speakerphone all the time — I don't want my mitochondria fried by EMFs.” Episode Timeline 00:00 – Welcome & intro to rapid-fire Q&A 11:00 – Why mitochondria matter for health & energy 14:00 – Quality control: autophagy & mitophagy 18:00 – Lifestyle factors: sleep, light, emotions, EMFs 32:00 – Exercise, DNA, and mitochondrial outcomes 34:00 – Fasting, circadian alignment, and deuterium depletion 37:00 – Supplement deep dive: methylene blue, carbon 60, NAD precursors, PQQ, urolithin B, mushrooms, shilajit 56:00 – Big unanswered questions in mitochondrial research 59:00 – Closing reflections and future episode teasers Resources & References Unraveling the role of mitochondrial dynamics in cancer stem cells: Molecular basis and therapeutic implications Dr. Doug Wallace on mitochondrial bioenergetics Dr. Jack Kruse on circadian biology and EMFs BioLight Special: Save 25% when you Subscribe & Save to a BioBundle!For a BioBundle, you choose: 1.)

Hello to you listening around the world!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey with your host Diane Wyzga.About a block from my library or a block from the post office sits a house on a corner. Propped against this house I saw a very large sheet of plywood. Spray-painted in large black letters were these words: Kill Lawyers - Not Cops.    Putting aside any 1st Amendment right of free speech arguments or the notion that many folks don't like lawyers until they need one, I have a question: When and how did we arrive at this place? When and how did we depart from human kindness, civility, and manners?  I've often spoken to the man who lives in this house as I passed by on my walk, admired his sunflowers, commented on the weather. I plan to walk up to his door and say, “I am a lawyer. Are you going to kill me? Or do you wish someone would?” I want to hear how he arrived at his position. And then perhaps get him to put away his larger-than-life sign before some yahoo takes him up on the dare.Practical Tip: Be of speech a little more careful than anything else today, tomorrow, and forever.  You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Hello to you listening in Hamburg, Germany!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.  We are living in a time of historic upheaval. But what if this currently confusing, chaotic, confounding, cultural churn is stumbling toward change that reveals the hidden roots of social injustice for what they are so that we can reconfigure for good?How easily the safeguards can be leaped. And they have been. We can clutch our pearls and bemoan the times we live in; or, we can invite our feelings of hopelessness to give way to action, to repair, restore, and renew out of the ashes of the old ways. We are responsible for making change because we're the only “sentient force” that can.Question: What one small grand gesture are you committed to take on behalf of what you love and care for?These words from the Irish poet Seamus Heaney may motivate and sustain you wherever your feet touch the ground, whatever progress you are intent on making today.    “History says, Don't hopeOn this side of the grave...But then, once in a lifetimeThe longed-for tidal waveOf justice can rise upAnd hope and history rhyme.” [“The Cure at Troy” Seamus Heaney]BONUS: Seamus Heaney reads his poem, The Cure at TroyThe Cure at Troy (full text)"Human beings sufferThey torture one another,They get hurt and get hard.No poem or play or songCan fully right a wrongInflicted and endured. The innocent in gaolsBeat on their bars together.A hunger-striker's fatherStands in the graveyard dumb.The police widow in veilsFaints at the funeral home. History says, Don't hopeOn this side of the grave…But then, once in a lifetimeThe longed-for tidal waveOf justice can rise up,And hope and history rhyme. So hope for a great sea-changeOn the far side of revenge.Believe that a further shoreIs reachable from here.Believe in miraclesAnd cures and healing wells. Call miracle self-healing:The utter, self-revealingDouble-take of feeling.If there's fire on the mountainOr lightning and stormAnd a god speaks from the sky That means someone is hearingThe outcry and the birth-cryOf new life at its term.It means once in a lifetimeThat justice can rise upAnd hope and history rhyme. [From "The Cure at Troy: A Version of Sophocles' Philoctetes"]You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

 Hello to you listening in Ellsworth, Maine!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Long ago in China there were cities surrounded with towering walls and magnificent gates. The gates let people in and out of the city but more importantly the gate was the place where the soul of the city resided. How do you build such a gate?People would collect the bleached bones of warriors from the old battlefields and carry them back to the city where they were sealed inside the newly constructed gate. The hope was that the long dead warriors would protect the city in exchange for being remembered. When the gate was finished it was sprinkled with the blood of a specially chosen animal because it was believed that adding blood to the dead bones would bring the souls of the warriors back to life. [Inspired by Sputnik Sweetheart, by Haruki Murakami  published 2001 - pages 15 to 16]Writing your story is much like this. To begin gather together the bones of the story for shape and structure. But a story is organic; it needs a soul to live and breathe. Invoke the "sorcery of stories" to link the world of your words with the world of your imagination and you'll create the soul of your story.Story Prompt: Where might the soul of your story reside? What will bring it to life? Write that story! And tell it out loud! Practical Tip: The magic of stories is also in the sharing. If you wish share your story with someone or something.  All that matters is you have a story.You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

In this episode, Ryan Magnon, Chief Operating Officer of Ithaka Hospitality Partners, shares a valuable lesson from his experience leading training at Chick-fil-A. While speed, accuracy, and consistency mattered in the drive-thru, the real differentiator was hospitality: how team members made guests feel in just 60 seconds.Ryan explains how Chick-fil-A trains frontline employees, many of whom are just 17 or 18 years old, to view each guest not as an order, but as a person with challenges and opportunities to be cared for. This approach transformed transactions into moments of genuine connection.For hospitality leaders, Ryan's story highlights how small interactions can shape big impressions, and why training to focus on human connection may be the most powerful investment you can make.

Hello to you listening in Puyallup, Washington!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.Maybe like me you were raised in a culture, a generation, a home where your voice, the power of your one true authentic voice was not appreciated. Maybe it was  shuttered, shushed, shut down. Why? Who knows.Sometimes our early fears and traumas hold us back from speaking in our authentic voice. But reclaiming our authentic voice is more than tips and techniques. Imagine discovering your story to help you let go of what might be holding you back so that you heal your mind, body and spirit. You also reclaim the opportunity to clarify your ideas, amplify your message, be seen, heard, understood and listened to.What happens then? The changes you want to make, the results you want to see in action can be manifested.CTA: Whether you're ready to work with me or getting ready to be ready I am ready to work with you.

Hello to you listening in Blue Hill, Maine!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Seth Godin, internationally known thinker, author and strategist posed a question: what's the difference between a protest and a project? [Seth's Blog]Protests let off steam. They organize people who might not show up by creating a moment in time where there's enough opportunity and social pressure that they participate.A protest sends a message.But almost every time, the very things that made a protest appealing mean that it fails to change much. That's because protests are momentary, temporary and urgent. The status quo is good at surviving protests. That's why it's still the status quo.But a PROJECT begins with a protest that ends with, “We'll be back tomorrow, and we're bringing our friends!”A PROJECT is impatiently persistent. It plays a longer game, one that can outlast the status quo.A PROJECT identifies the system and brings a systematic approach to changing that system.PROJECTS can seem boring when seen with a stopwatch, but they're powerful when measured with a calendar.Think about it: Nationwide we've marched at Hands Off in April, No Kings in June, Good Trouble in July, and in a few days Workers Over Billionaires on Labor Day. Other marches continue all over our country. We the People have become a Protest PROJECT!Story Prompt: What happens each time you show up to a protest, share your voice, and come back for more doing your part to upset the status quo? Write that story! And tell it out loud!You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

If you've ever felt overwhelmed trying to figure out what a piece of land is really worth, I get it. I used to spend hours digging through listings, comparing sold prices, calculating averages, and second-guessing my numbers. Then I built a tool that lets me comp land in under 60 seconds, and it has completely changed the way I make offers.In this episode, I walk you through my exact process for finding accurate comps quickly, so you can make solid offers without relying too much on pricing algorithms. I share why those tools can be helpful but will only get you about 50 to 75 percent of the way there. You still need to do your own research. We'll go step-by-step using free resources like Zillow, plus my new Chrome extension that scrapes and calculates comps in seconds.We'll cover how to avoid overpaying, make conservative offers that still get accepted, and position your properties to sell faster than the competition. I also show you how to negotiate with sellers, follow up for more deals, and use active and sold comps to make confident decisions. By the end, you'll see how easy it is to turn this into a repeatable process that works anywhere.What's Inside:—Why pricing tools alone are not enough for accurate land comps—Step-by-step method to comp properties using Zillow and my free Chrome extension—How to decide your offer price using active and sold comps—Negotiation tips and follow-up strategies to close more deals

Hello to you listening in Seattle, Washington!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more to visit history) for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Recently I read a comment on Substack about the changes being wrought by 47 and his criminal cabal to erase - as much as obscenely possible - evidence of slavery in America thereby making history disappear. Yes, many have tried to make history disappear but the stories, the oral histories, the voices, the art, books and photographs remain. Not all - but enough to stand witness.One such book, The Ghosts of Segregation, was authored by our very own Whidbey Island writer and photographer, Richard Frishman who saw what 45's administration was doing and had to do something to defy it.   Unexpectedly, while researching the Ghosts of Segregation, I found my way to the Panama Hotel in Seattle which some of you may remember as the hotel featured in the novel, The  Hotel at the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, by Jamie Ford.The Panama Hotel remains the repository of personal belongings stored there by some of the 8,000 people of Japanese ancestry who were forced from Seattle and into internment camps (known as War Relocation Centers) set up in Midwestern states as a result of Executive Order 9066. They had one week's warning.Eventually, over 120,000 men, women and children of Japanese ancestry were forced from their homes, businesses and farms on the Pacific Coast in a systematic, government sponsored exile of innocent people. Most of them were United States citizens. The incarceration turned US citizens into refugees in their own country.But the story is still alive staving off erasure. A grant from the National Park Service helped researchers document, catalogue and map the contents of suitcases, trunks, and boxes, over 8500 items left in the hotel basement. Because of the historical value of the Panama Hotel, it was designated as a National Treasure in 2015. Today the Panama Hotel serves as a living time capsule, a shrine to a community, and the site of the Japanese American Museum of Seattle.  Story Prompt: How might we change the future with understanding and compassion so as to defy fear and hatred of The Other? Write that story and tell it out loud!  And for inspiration check out the many links in the Episode Notes to access the Ghosts of Segregation as well as the Panama Hotel.   The Ghosts of Segregation by Richard FrishmanClick HERE to listen to the author, Rich Frishman tell you about his project in a short interview Click HERE to access a book discussion about The Ghosts of Segregation at University of Virginia Click HERE to visit: My Favorite Places - Panama Hotel - Ralph Munro former Secretary of StateClick HERE to read about the Japanese American Museum of SeattleClick HERE to read National Trust for Historic Preservation; Asian American & Pacific Islander History;  Panama Hotel; Histories of Loss & ResilienceClick HERE to visit Panama Hotel - Hotel at the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie FordClick HERE to visit the Panama Hotel & Owner/Caretake Jan Johnson's scrapbookClick HERE to visit the Mysteries of the Panama HotelClick HERE to read The Many Lifetimes of the Panama Hotel - Stories of the Unjustly ImprisonedYou're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Hello to you Byron and Mariah Edgington listening in Gainesville, Florida!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.My friend Byron Edgington wrote: “Isn't it fascinating how we humans revert to past events, as if we could/can change what happened there?”Yes. We humans can be a silly species failing to acknowledge the past as the past. The past is like the wake behind a boat - the series of waves that trails behind a moving boat. But the wake doesn't drive the boat; however, awareness of and learning from the past is what allows us to drive the boat of our present into a better future.  The phrase "the wake doesn't drive the boat" (a metaphor attributed to Alan Watts) means that your past or wake of your life boat doesn't determine your future. Yes, learning from our past influences our present actions; but the future is determined by how we drive our boat now, not by the path we've already traveled.Question: How have you learned to drive your boat forward based on choices arising from past lessons?Click HERE to listen to Alan Watts talk about the boat analogy and how it applies to the present moment.Thank you for listening and steady as she goes!You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Hello to you listening in London, England!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more for courage) for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.It's true what they say: "A story grows in the gaps where the facts fall short." 47 and his cabal are exploiting the gaps to create cruel and obscene stories because they have no facts.Headlines that repeat 47's cruel and obscene stories like reign of terror, being on the eve of destruction, days of the dictator, subservience to the sociopath, and so on reinforce these stories. The more these stories are told without the counterbalance of truth, facts, good news, and how We the People are fighting back, the more these lies will take hold in our exhausted minds because these stories keep on gushing like torrents of water out of a broken fire hydrant.Hear me when I say this: I am no idiot. Treacherous times are alive and afoot. 47 and his criminally complicit cabinet, feckless GOP congress, and subservient SCOTUS on speed dial are after nothing short of the utter desecration of our country. So, We the People must continue to push back, show up, stand up, speak up, fight and ever fight!In the darkest days of World War II when all looked lost in the face of Nazi Germany's advance across Europe and the Dunkirk evacuation, Winston Churchill summoned the will of the British people against those odds.    His famous "We shall fight on the beaches" speech was a galvanizing address delivered to the House of Commons on June 4, 1940.Listen to a portion of history: “The British Empire and the French Republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength. Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.”Imagine the immense sacrifice and effort required of the British people to face the adversity and pummeling hardships of war. And yet, they did with courage and determination, with unwavering resolve to resist the Nazi threat, even to the last person, if necessary.If the British defeated the Nazis - against all odds - who are we not to follow in their footsteps and prevail against the enemy within our shores? We have no Churchill to summon us to battle; but we shall fight and we shall win because We the People are defying them and their obscenely hateful stories.Thank you for listening and making good trouble to liberate the land of the free and the home of the brave.  You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Hello to you listening in Manassas, Virginia!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more for a story tip) for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.For over 30 years I've keynoted, written, taught and consulted on the “sorcery of stories.” Sounds rather magical and mystical, right? But there's no witchcraft here. Only good old-fashioned narrative and imagination at work to interpret events, assign meaning, configure our stories, communicate insights, explain Truths, and shape our perspectives.  At its best, the "sorcery of stories” offers us a means to explore, understand, and reframe old narratives about ourselves so that we might reframe our perspective to celebrate challenges overcome, doubts erased, and fears undone.If you are curious about how to reframe the old narrative you've been telling yourself and reframe your perception about that narrative, I have a simple 3-part story structure for you to work with.Think about an old story that's still rattling around in your brain. Complete each of these 3 phrases, in order:  If you had told me 20 years ago that I would [fill in the blank]I might have [fill in the blank]but instead if you could see me now I'm [fill in the blank].Here's my story: If you had told me 20 years ago that I would walk 500 miles across Spain estoy solo on pilgrimage I might have derided and dismissed that idea as one for foolish, time-wasting dreamers; but instead if you could see me now (having walked those 500 miles on foot) I'm set free to be me, walking into my own life, fully deserving of what I have loved all along.      Story Prompt: Now your turn to reframe your narrative, reframe your perspective. Write that story! And tell it out loud!You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Hello to you listening in Tillamook, Oregon!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.Our Pacific Northwest summers are a generous Mother Nature break from the cold, damp darkness of the November to May Rain Festival here on the island. Don't get me wrong: we know how to keep ourselves warm, dry, comfortable, and engaged in the 6 months of fall and winter; but we appreciate the summer months to the fullest even when rain showers interrupt our plans.Something Miguel de Cervantes wrote about squalls and good weather reminds me that all is impermanent, nothing endures forever and we will see our way clear - in time:      “All these squalls to which we have been subjected are signs that the weather will soon improve and things will go well for us, because it is not possible for the bad or the good to endure forever, and from this it follows that since the bad has lasted so long the good is close at hand.” [Miguel de Cervantes - Don Quioxte]Question: How are you inviting the good that is close at hand? You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Hello to you listening in Woodbine, Georgia!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Maybe like me you endlessly churn old stories in your head: what you would have said, could have said, or should have said. Gets me nowhere. So, I'm learning how to shift out of my endlessly churning mindset with a farming tip.  My maternal grandfather left his home in a small Polish village and came to this country as a teenager seeking a better life than the farm he grew up on. Here's what he used to say: “Diane, there's no profit in plowing the same furrow twice. Forgive. Forget. Let go. Harvest what's ahead of you.”Question: What about you? What's your best tip for letting go of what no longer works?You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Hello to you Michelle, listening in lovely Victoria by the sea, BC, CanadaLand!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more for a story) for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.I am a story doula. I believe that stories are alive! They can follow you home, sit at your table, sleep in your bed. I also believe that stories seek us out so that right story comes to us just when we need it.Letters also tell stories. But what if the letters got lost? What happens to the stories they contain? Is there a home for lost letters and their stories? Indeed there is! Japan's Missing Post Office.   Until the 1990s, Awashima Island in Japan's Seto Inland Sea had a flourishing port where sailors stopped to send and receive letters and telegrams. When the port closed the letters kept on coming to the now dead post office. In 2013 the artist Kubota Saya transformed the dead post office into Japan's Missing Post Office, a place where locals and visitors can come, read letters, and send letters to those departed souls who are beyond receiving the letter but not the thought.Japan's Missing Post Office receives 10 to 20 letters without addressees daily from those seeking closure, comfort, or simply a means to express emotions that have no other outlet. The stories in the letters are there to be read, cherished, and shared. There might be one waiting for you.Meanwhile, even if you are not able to visit the Missing Post Office yourself, you can send a letter to join the others. The address and links to articles about Japan's Missing Post Office are in the Episode Notes.Story Prompt: To whom would you like to express yourself in a letter and what would you say? Write that story and tell it out loud!  How to submit a letter to the Missing Post Office and Address:1317-2 AwashimaTakuma-choMitoyo, KagawaThe Missing Post Office: Letters Without Addressees  Japan's Missing Post Office: Where Lost Letters Find a Home        You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

John Henry alerted Roman Anthony via email about the contract extension. We want to see the email. Locking up their core is the Sox strategy. Will it work? Emulating the Atlanta Braves. They won a World Series. 2018 World Series team was very home grown. How much of a comparison is there? If the Red Sox ask you to a commercial, say no! There is some kind of curse there. ALSO, On the Clock, what to expect from Patriots preseason game 1, and some betting tips.

Dr. Rangan Chatterjee breaks down a beautifully simple framework—Feel, Feed, Find—that helps us understand the emotional hunger behind our habits. Whether it's ice cream after a long day or scrolling endlessly through your phone, this method isn't about restriction. It's about curiosity. Instead of judging yourself, you pause. You notice. And sometimes, that pause is all it takes to start changing the story.What stuck with me most wasn't just the emotional insight—but how practical it all is. Want to feel calm in 60 seconds? Dr. Chatterjee teaches a breathing technique called the "3-4-5 breath" that literally rewires your nervous system. He explains how even simple actions—like a warm bath or a moment of touch—can downshift your body from stress into ease. If you've ever felt stuck in a loop of stress and self-soothing, this episode will give you the tools to break free.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with the brilliant Dr. Caroline Leaf, a true pioneer in the science of the mind, brain, and body connection. Caroline's work has changed how we think about mental health, self-regulation, and transformation and today, she joins me to share insights from her latest book, Help in a Hurry. We dive right into what inspired this new book: those frantic moments when you feel like you're about to lose it, stuck in regret, overwhelmed, people-pleasing, or on the verge of snapping in the middle of a tough meeting. Caroline unpacks the real science behind why those first 60 seconds matter so much, and she gives practical—often life-changing—techniques you can use to take back control in the heat of the moment. Caroline walks me through her process for validation, mind shifting, and conscious breathing, sharing stories from her own life (yes, even the experts lose their cool sometimes!) and the research that led to this 63-second miracle. We talk burnout, pressurized living, the myth of waiting for a vacation to “restore” yourself, and how just a one-minute “thinker moment” can completely reset your brain and body. We get into the difference between the mind and the brain (Caroline makes this fascinating and easy to grasp!) and the importance of tuning into your soul and spirit to find genuine peace even quoting some powerful scripture along the way. Whether you're struggling in your relationships, facing chronic burnout, or just want to bring more mental strength and peace to your day-to-day, this conversation is filled with accessible strategies, inspiration, and hope. Caroline's wisdom will help you reclaim the next moment (and maybe the next 63 days), moving you from chaos and helplessness to clarity and empowerment. If you've ever felt like you need “help in a hurry,” or you want a 911 strategy for your thoughts and feelings, this episode is your go-to guide.   About Dr. Caroline Leaf, Dr. Caroline Leaf is a communication pathologist, audiologist, clinical and research neuroscientist with a Masters and PhD in Communication Pathology and a BSc Logopaedics, specializing in psychoneurobiology and metacognitive neuropsychology.
