Podcasts about abandoning

As the school year gains momentum, it's easy for school leaders to fall into survival mode—abandoning the very rhythms that anchor sustainable growth, effective school operations, and confident leadership. In this episode of the Schools of Excellence Podcast, Chanie Wilschanski breaks down the essential distinction between anchors and enhancers, and why understanding this difference is critical for school directors managing high-pressure seasons.If you're facing a surge in enrollment, onboarding new staff, or navigating leadership fatigue, this episode will help you identify the systems, habits, and non-negotiables that protect your energy and peace of mind. Because running a private school, preschool, or early childhood center shouldn't mean always putting out fires—it means leading with intentionality, clarity, and control.What You'll LearnThe difference between anchors and enhancers—and why both matter for sustainable school leadershipHow to identify the leadership habits that protect you from burnout, second-guessing, and resentmentThe hidden cost of abandoning your routines during busy seasonsWhy survival mode becomes the default when systems are missingA simple way to assess where your school needs operational focusKey Insights1. Anchors create stability during chaos Anchors are the daily habits that ground you emotionally and mentally. For overwhelmed directors, these aren't luxuries—they're leadership tools. Anchors may look like prayer, walking, journaling, or quiet reflection. When the pressure is high, these are the habits that keep you rooted and resilient.2. Enhancers elevate—but they don't stabilize Massages, time with friends, or a night out can be wonderful enhancers, but they can't replace the foundational habits that regulate your mindset and sustain your ability to lead. Enhancers help you feel good, but they don't create consistency.3. Abandoning anchors leads to burnout When school leaders drop their anchors in exchange for hustle, the cost is high. Leadership becomes reactive. Decision fatigue sets in. You feel stuck, anxious, and resentful. Rebuilding your rhythms later will require far more energy than simply preserving them now.4. Your anchors are unique to you Chanie shares her personal anchors—prayer, walking, and meditation—and encourages leaders to identify their own. The true test? If you still do it when you're sick, traveling, or exhausted, it's likely an anchor.5. Systems—not hustle—drive confident leadership Real school leadership isn't about working harder. It's about installing rhythms and school systems that do the heavy lifting. When you lead from systems, not from stress, you create time freedom, better team accountability, and long-term sustainability.Memorable Quotes"When you stop doing your anchors, survival becomes a habit—and it's harder to come back from." – Chanie Wilschanski "Anchors aren't nice-to-haves. They're lifelines." "Leadership is about alignment, not exhaustion."Try This: 3 Steps to Identify Your AnchorsStep 1: Look at your stress habits What do you continue doing when you're sick, overextended, or traveling? That's likely an anchor.Step 2: List your daily wellness practices Then separate anchors from enhancers. Anchors are essential and stabilizing. Enhancers are supportive, but optional.Step 3: Choose one anchor to protect this season Commit to it fully. That single action can create the clarity and consistency you need to lead well this fall.Why It Matters for School LeadersReduces burnout, resentment, and emotional exhaustion in high-pressure seasonsHelps you

What if the very pursuit of success is sabotaging your potential for greatness? In this episode of Small Business Black Holes, host Alan Pentz explores the psychological paradox plaguing high-achieving entrepreneurs: why business owners—the "luckiest people in the world"—systematically abandon their greatest competitive advantage by imitating others instead of operating from their unique "Zone of Genius." Pentz reveals how the relentless chase for external validation through money, status, and conventional metrics creates a tragic cycle where successful founders build companies that drain rather than energize them, ultimately leading to burnout and purposeless exits. This isn't another productivity hack—it's a fundamental reimagining of entrepreneurial success through energy alignment and authentic self-expression. Discover why your greatest business asset isn't capital or connections, but your willingness to stop copying others and start designing organizations around what genuinely fuels your creativity and drive.

Ruth (SX/SO 9w1 973) joins us for a luminous and radical exploration of the Sexual 9's longing for union — with God, with others, and, ultimately, with herself. From an early age, Ruth's life was shaped by profound mystical experiences: claiming Jesus at three, and at nine, encountering a vision of him entering her body — not metaphorically, but viscerally, as a wave of physical love. These moments left an imprint, becoming the compass by which she navigated the world — always reaching for a love that could hold her entire being. We explore how this early spiritual intensity tethered her to external sources of nourishment — church, relationships, ideals — while a deeper hunger for selfhood remained dormant, waiting to be reclaimed. Her story takes a sharp turn in her late 30s, when a “rude awakening” forced her to prioritize self-care and embodiment. What unfolds is a quiet revolution: the shift from merging to individuation, from numbing to sensation, from floating in spirit to landing in body.

I speak with Lindy Li about why she abandoned the Democratic Party after years as a prominent supporter and fundraiser. We dig into what shattered her trust—corruption, censorship, political theatre—and explore the deeper collapse of institutional faith across media and government. Lindy's journey mirrors a wider awakening, and together we look at what might come next: new movements, decentralization, and a return to values that go beyond left and right.

In this episode I am once again joined by Mary Shutan: author, occultist, and spiritual teacher. Mary explains her activities as a modern spirit worker, reveals how to form and maintain working relationships with spirits, details the difference between spirit pacts and contracts, and warns about the unintended consequences of making deals with unknown beings. Mary explores the problems associated with using the word “shaman”, offers a critique of modern shamanism training courses, and explains why many people who pursue shamanism would be better suited to a religious orientation to animism. Mary also reveals her own aborted attempt at the infamous Abramelin ritual, details the resultant fallout and years of recovery, and reflects on the impact of magickal practice on mental and physical health. … Full episode link in bio.

For decades, US allies have slept soundly under the protection of America's overwhelming military might. Donald Trump — with his threats to ditch NATO, seize Greenland, and abandon Taiwan — seems hell-bent on shattering that comfort.But according to Hugh White — one of the world's leading strategic thinkers, emeritus professor at the Australian National University, and author of Hard New World: Our Post-American Future — Trump isn't destroying American hegemony. He's simply revealing that it's already gone.Links to learn more, video, highlights, and full transcript: https://80k.info/hw“Trump has very little trouble accepting other great powers as co-equals,” Hugh explains. And that happens to align perfectly with a strategic reality the foreign policy establishment desperately wants to ignore: fundamental shifts in global power have made the costs of maintaining a US-led hegemony prohibitively high.Even under Biden, when Russia invaded Ukraine, the US sent weapons but explicitly ruled out direct involvement. Ukraine matters far more to Russia than America, and this “asymmetry of resolve” makes Putin's nuclear threats credible where America's counterthreats simply aren't. Hugh's gloomy prediction: “Europeans will end up conceding to Russia whatever they can't convince the Russians they're willing to fight a nuclear war to deny them.”The Pacific tells the same story. Despite Obama's “pivot to Asia” and Biden's tough talk about “winning the competition for the 21st century,” actual US military capabilities there have barely budged while China's have soared, along with its economy — which is now bigger than the US's, as measured in purchasing power. Containing China and defending Taiwan would require America to spend 8% of GDP on defence (versus 3.5% today) — and convince Beijing it's willing to accept Los Angeles being vaporised.Unlike during the Cold War, no president — Trump or otherwise — can make that case to voters.Our new “multipolar” future, split between American, Chinese, Russian, Indian, and European spheres of influence, is a “darker world” than the golden age of US dominance. But Hugh's message is blunt: for better or worse, 35 years of American hegemony are over.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE: In this deeply personal solo episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the most transformational shifts I've made in my business—and life. If you've ever felt successful on the outside but misaligned on the inside, this episode is for you. I'm sharing the truth about what happens when your strategy outpaces your sovereignty, and how I reclaimed my business, message, and leadership by choosing alignment over adrenaline. We'll dive into the identity recalibration that allowed me to stop abandoning myself inside my own success, how I restructured my business to support my nervous system (not just revenue goals), and why letting go—not doing more—is often the missing piece. I'll walk you through how I simplified everything, honored my energy, and began creating content that doesn't just perform, but resonates deeply. If you're ready to stop building from obligation and start leading from embodiment, this episode is your invitation to rise. Liked this episode?

They buy your standard, they buy the version of you that they see and that they spot, and that they think ‘I want, what she has.'” - Julie Solomon  “ This is the distinction. Clients reaching out saying, ‘this post literally felt like it was written for me. Are you in my brain? Are you in my soul? Sales came in from content that didn't even have a call to action on it,' which if you know me, I love a good CTA, but this is where resonance does what tactics can't. This is why the messaging frameworks that I have built, I have created, that I have tested, that I now share with my clients work. Because they don't just teach you what to say. They teach you how to say it in a way that only you can.” - Julie Solomon RESOURCES: [JOIN MY VISIBILITY TRAINING] With just 1 hour a week, my proven content framework will help you refine your messaging and turn your offers into consistent, scalable sales.

Warning - There is a lot of bad language on this episode. Things got really heated on todays episode after a mum was accused of abandoning her toddler in a car while she went into the shop. When she revealed what happened, listeners got very annoyed

In this episode, I talk about being patient with the external results matching the internal effort, why we question our work and our timing of results, pivoting too soon, breaking momentum versus sustaining it, trusting the vision, confusing discomfort with misalignment and more.CONNECT WITH ME…→ Instagram — @mattgottesman→ Text Me — 480-530-7352→ My Substack — mattgottesman.substack.com → Apparel — thenicheisyou.comRESOURCES…→ Recommended Book List — CLICK HERE→ Workshops — CLICK HERE→ Masterclass — CLICK HEREWORKSHOPS + MASTERCLASS:→ Need MORE clarity? - Here's the FREE… 6 Days to Clarity Workshop - clarity for your time, energy, money, creativity, work & play→ Write, Design, Build: Content Creator Studio & OS - Growing the niche of you, your audience, reach, voice, passion & incomeOTHER RELATED EPISODES:Your Work Shouldn't Just Fund Your Life… It Should Feed ItApple: https://apple.co/4jZ8WSYSpotify: https://spoti.fi/3GZsTKS

Ever felt like your faith was hanging by a thread—but you were too afraid to say it out loud?In this episode, I sit down with author, speaker, and spiritual guide Niki Hardy to talk about her newest book, God, Can We Chat?, and the freedom we find when we stop pretending everything's fine and bring our real questions to God.After walking through deep grief, spiritual burnout, and what she calls “death by a thousand paper cuts,” Niki realized that asking hard questions didn't mean she was losing her faith—it meant she was fighting for it.Together, we unpack:Why your doubts aren't dangerous—but actually essential to real faithHow to ask God hard questions without fear, guilt, or shameThe 5 lies we believe that keep us from honest conversations with GodThe CHAT framework to help you process pain with God (and not just about Him)Why Jesus gives you permission to wrestle, grieve, and not have it all figured outWhether you're grieving, burnt out, or secretly scared you're losing your faith—this conversation will remind you that God welcomes your questions and walks with you through the mess.✨ Quote to Remember:“God isn't intimidated by your questions—He's already holding space for them.”

Why do we keep attracting relationships that don't feel aligned — and what does that reveal about how we relate to ourselves?  In today's episode of The Healing & Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with Aaron Doughty to explore the unseen energetic patterns that keep us stuck in cycles of over-giving, self-abandonment, and people-pleasing. We talk about why empaths are often drawn to narcissists, how early childhood roles shape our identity, and what it really means to reclaim your energy and worth. We also dive into powerful tools like Ho'oponopono, how to stop enabling others while still staying in your heart, and why true healing begins when we stop blaming and start taking full responsibility for the patterns we carry. If you've ever felt like you're giving more than you're receiving, or drawn to fix others at the cost of yourself, this conversation offers a new perspective on what healing can look like. Tune in and discover how to step out of old survival strategies and into the kind of connection that reflects your true worth.   ===   GUEST LINKS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aarondoughty44 Website: https://aarondoughty.com   ===   Have you watched our previous episode with Robert?

In this kickoff episode of The Crossheirs, I share the heart behind my journey—from questioning religion to embracing the richness of Catholic tradition. This isn't a story of abandoning the Bible or walking away from faith. It's a story of adding to what I already believed, not replacing it. I explore why “sola scriptura” wasn't enough, how the early Church kept drawing me in, and why tradition doesn't compete with Scripture—it completes it. You'll hear how I wrestled with misconceptions, examined history, and found that the Church Christ established has been building, brick by brick, ever since. If you've ever felt like something was missing in your faith, or wondered whether going “deeper” means going “backwards,” this episode is for you.

A 25-year-old Wayne man accused of stealing a truck and abandoning three kids that were in the backseat is being charged by the County Prosecutor's Office. WWJ's Tracey McCaskill and Tony Ortiz have this afternoon's top news stories.

The State Department has released a reorganization plan that would usher in significant changes to the way the United States conducts its diplomacy and foreign assistance, at a time of considerable geopolitical change. Proposals by the Trump administration include eliminating or restructuring a number of the Department's longstanding functions, dissolving and/or folding USAID into State, and imposing large budget and staffing cuts. Debates over how to structure and optimize the State Department, and U.S. foreign assistance programs in particular, are nothing new. But important questions remain about these proposals—including how they may interact with Congressional prerogatives; their implications for the conduct of U.S. foreign policy amidst compounding global crises; and, ultimately, whether these changes may herald a more streamlined and effective bureaucracy or undermine U.S. diplomatic power.On May 14, 2025, the Reiss Center on Law and Security and Just Security convened an expert panel to consider these vitally important developments and to unpack what's happening, what's at stake, and what lies ahead. Show Notes: Dani Schulkin, Tess Bridgeman, and Andrew Miller's “What Just Happened: The Trump Administration's Reorganization of the State Department – and How We Got Here” Ambassador Daniel Fried's “The US Government's Self-Harm in Killing RFE/RL” and “Is the U.S. Abandoning the Fight Against Foreign Information Operations?” Hon.
