How do you start your day? Be honest… Do you greet the day with intention? Or does chaos reign each morning? It's no secret that many of us have aren't morning people, we'd rather hit the snooze button a few (dozen!) times than develop a morning routine. Some of us habitually reach for our phones before we've barely opened our eyes. Unfortunately, our reluctant waking may set us up for a less magical day and a less restful night. By creating a morning ritual infused with feminine energy, we give our parasympathetic nervous systems an opportunity to enter a rest & digest cycle. As we journey through the late spring woods, consider how you might revamp your own morning rituals.

I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:58 Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the gracious convoy I had with Clare Solly in our last episode.Lesley Logan 1:06 If you didn't listen, you missed out on the third time. Clare Solly has been, she's one of few people who've been on three times.Brad Crowell 1:13 She is, but I think she's been on way more than that, because she's done recaps for me and all sorts of stuff. So, as a guest three times, yes, but longtime listeners will definitely know who Clare is. Clare and Lesley go way, way back, before I was in the picture, by like years.Lesley Logan 1:32 We go back to like 2001.Brad Crowell 1:33 But way, you go back to 2001? So, like, I think I was still, what? 2001 we were graduating from high school.Lesley Logan 1:45 I went to college in 2001 as well.Brad Crowell 1:48 That's when you met, your first year in college.Lesley Logan 1:50 Yeah, I got a job. I was broke.Brad Crowell 1:53 I was broke. Well, amazing. Yeah, well, anyway, I was listening to your pod, and the two of you are hilarious, because it's like blah-blah-blah, just 100% riffing off each other. Lesley Logan 2:13 See why people are like, "I'm going to pod my best friend, and we're just going to talk about things." Because inevitably something good is going to come out of it. Oh yeah, you said, "Be organized," to like, what are we talking about? Which is like, so we originally, the team was like, "Do we want her on the pod," and I was like, "What will we talk about?" And then she and I were like, doing whatever recaps it is, she's like, "We should talk about ending," whatever, it was, and I was like, "Okay, great," exiting, "The team will be thrilled to know that we have a topic."Brad Crowell 2:38 You picked a topic. Lesley Logan 2:39 We did it. You guys, just so you know, we love that you listen. We love that you share those with friends. Another way you can support this podcast is by being an OPC member. If you go to onlinepilatesclasses.com, you can actually check out what we do. We have real Pilates for real bodies, it's the workout that works for you. There's lots of different ways to do it, and people are often like, "How can I support this show?" And Brad and I have talked about, like, do we do a commercial-free one where people pay?Brad Crowell 3:04 Yeah, we thought about that, like having a second one that's no ads, like all these different things.Lesley Logan 3:08 No, we're not doing more work. What actually would be really meaningful for us is, if you're going to give us money, we want you to actually get something out of it, not just like listening to us take up space. We really want you to actually take time for yourself and move your body, and that's what OPC is all about. It's actually about you having time for yourself. The classes are 2% of your day, and you get to compare yourself to yourself. So, go to OPC, I guess, what do they do? Go to opc.me/40?Brad Crowell 3:34 Just go to opc.meLesley Logan 3:36 Oh, great. Do that, even easier. Okay. Today is June 11th and it's Certified Nurses Week, aka CNA Week. It takes place on Thursday of the second full week of June. I really do love.Brad Crowell 3:50 The Thursday of the second full week.Lesley Logan 3:53 I love when it's not.Brad Crowell 3:54 Of the month of June.Lesley Logan 3:55 It can't be, it can't be the second Thursday. It has to be the second Thursday, the Thursday of the second full week.Brad Crowell 4:01 Yeah.Lesley Logan 4:01 So, Thursday can't be, it can't be the eighth ever. Brad Crowell 4:04 Because if the week starts on a Wednesday, that first Thursday does not count. If the month's first week starts on a Wednesday, or like not a full week, right? Then the first Thursday might not count.Lesley Logan 4:17 Right. Brad Crowell 4:17 Right. So, the Thursday of the second full week. Lesley Logan 4:22 I think that's complicated. Instead of saying. Brad Crowell 4:27 Because there might not be a second Thursday.Lesley Logan 4:29 But what they, well, they could just say the second Thursday of June.Brad Crowell 4:31 No, it might not be the second Thursday.Lesley Logan 4:33 No, if June 2nd is a Thursday, then June 9th is a Thursday, that's the second Thursday. I think they made it complicated.Brad Crowell 4:40 But that wouldn't be it, it would be on the next week.Lesley Logan 4:42 So, listener, hold on, you mean to tell me that people don't grab the 30-day calendar and go one, two?Brad Crowell 4:52 Not necessarily, if it's not a full week, that's the caveat here.Lesley Logan 4:56 I think that's crazy. I'm telling you, I always, when we do FYS, I don't go skipping the first Friday because it wasn't a full week, I do all the Fridays.Brad Crowell 5:08 I am with you on this. I am agreeing with you. This is not simple.Lesley Logan 5:12 It's not simple to be a CNA either. So, it takes place on the second full week of June. Do you like that? Like that lead back, is a week full of, oh, because they also want a week. Okay, notice.Brad Crowell 5:26 It's a full week.Lesley Logan 5:26 It's a full week of celebrations, but it starts on a Thursday, it's a full week of celebrations honoring the hard work. Do you all want to know why I think I'm ADHD? Here's the autism. I'm so stuck on this second Thursday. This year it is held from June 11th to June 17th. Certified nursing assistants began working under the Red Cross program during World War One, and have served alongside US Army nurses. Hundreds of young women were trained to care for wounded soldiers in reserve, field-based, and civilian hospitals. Did you know that before 1987 nursing assistants were not required to have a formal education?Brad Crowell 6:01 I did not know that.Lesley Logan 6:03 Okay, so who's seen The Pit? Because there's actually a whole episode on the medics. Did you know that?Brad Crowell 6:08 Well, this is why I was asking you what the name of the show is that you're watching right now. I yelled it across the house earlier when I was like, "What's that show called?"Lesley Logan 6:15 I'm hyper-vigilant, but okay. One, I'm not new to The Pit. It's already like, I don't know, filming season three or something like that, and won many awards. All of my friends talk about it week after week when it first came out.Brad Crowell 6:26 But you're new to it.Lesley Logan 6:27 I'm new to it, because as much as I appreciate the nostalgia of a weekly show that we all talk about, I don't have that capacity. If I'm going to sit down and watch a show, I want to binge through, like I really like that I can, and all that stuff anyways, because I won't. The next week I'll forget, and then I'll be like, spoiler alerts that I'm trying not to watch, like when Love is Blind was dropping in increments. I'm like, "Fuck, I have to get off my Instagram, because the spoilers are coming." So, because it's spoiled, and I didn't pay attention to it because it wasn't what I was clicking on, I saw on a plane yesterday, I watched 10 episodes in a row, I'm obsessed, and the head nurse is like kicking ass. But they did have a whole episode on this guy talking about what the first field medicals were and how they became one. Anyways, I also believe, maybe it wasn't the nurses, that might have been the women who were doing the phone lines, but they had to pay for their own uniforms and things like that, so there's all this different stuff. Anyways, you guys, we have a nursing shortage in the United States of America because it sucks to work in healthcare. The only people making money in healthcare is CVS and the insurance companies. This is not sponsored by them, but you know they've got the money, so come on over. So the reality is, please be kind to your nurses, we need every single one of them. I know it's frustrating when you have to go to, I wasn't even at the hospital, I was at a doctor's office, and they make me fill out this online check-in sheet every single time. I have to fill in my allergies, my first period, my family stuff, every single time. And the second time I went in a month, I said, "Hey guys, is there any way where I can just tap a box that says nothing has changed, everything is the same, there's zero. Brad Crowell 8:12 I just felt that I wasn't filling it out.Lesley Logan 8:14 Yeah, like the only thing that's different is my last cycle. I'll give you that, because it's a female doctor, anyway. But I said, "Look, I'm not trying to, I'm just here." But be nice to them, be nice to them, it is their CNA week, so go.Brad Crowell 8:29 So, there are apparently on average 190,000 annual openings for registered nurses each year, projected through 2032.Lesley Logan 8:42 Wow.Brad Crowell 8:43 Due to retirements, burnouts, and rising care demands. And while the workforce is growing, it cannot keep pace with the needs of an aging boomer population.Lesley Logan 8:54 Oh, this boomer population, man, they just, love you, because some of you are boomers, but, man.Brad Crowell 9:00 Yeah. So, anyway, nurses are very important, and it's a high-stress job, so all the props to the nurses out there.Lesley Logan 9:10 Yeah, okay. Upcoming travel notes, you guys, we're around, we're sticking.Brad Crowell 9:14 Yeah, we're home for a minute, and it's nice.Lesley Logan 9:17 Kind of at home. Although, although, when you're watching this, what day is this? Brad Crowell 9:21 We are June 11th.Lesley Logan 9:22 Oh, yeah. No, I'm home, solidly in the house.Brad Crowell 9:25 June and July, we're home.Lesley Logan 9:27 We might even foster a puppy or something like that.Brad Crowell 9:29 Yeah, we're gonna go take some dogs and hikes. We're rebuilding the van right now.Lesley Logan 9:34 We means Brad.Brad Crowell 9:35 We means Brad. Brad is rebuilding the van right now from the inside out, obviously.Lesley Logan 9:40 Well, the outside's done.Brad Crowell 9:41 Yeah. Well, not necessarily. Well, actually, I guess I'm adding a roof rack and I'm adding all the solar and all this extra stuff. So, like, we're getting fancy, and I got some really cool specs done for the interior, and we're, we're gonna be completely overhauling it before the summer tour, which is coming up, so tickets are definitely available. You can go to opc.me/tour we're actually going to be doing a Saturn's ring loop around the middle of the country, like Lesley said last week, which I thought was hilarious.Lesley Logan 10:08 Oh, just so you know, our tours are again sponsored by Balanced Body and Contrology, so we're also bringing the Contrology Reformer, Mat and Spine Corrector. Brad Crowell 10:17 We sure are. Lesley Logan 10:17 They all have some great prizes for you. I put another request in for the liner, because everyone loves it. It's so fun, easy to take with you. It's a really great community, and it's time, and you also can go to multiple locations on this tour, because we are on a status ring, but that also means, since the map isn't 3D, we're really just, you know.Brad Crowell 10:37 Okay, okay. I think they got the idea. The point is, we're going in a circle.Lesley Logan 10:41 Stops are within a couple of miles.Brad Crowell 10:42 It's a squeeze circle.Lesley Logan 10:43 It's a squeeze circle,Brad Crowell 10:44 Yeah, a couple of hours, several stops within a couple of hours, not a couple of miles.Lesley Logan 10:48 A couple of hours.Brad Crowell 10:49 But anyway, the go to opc.me/tour we're doing 14, I think it's 14 stops, and we're.Lesley Logan 10:55 I have no idea, it's not we're going to this, I haven't even seen the list.Brad Crowell 10:58 It's good, it's gonna be great, we're excited, we're visiting some new spots, revisiting some old spots, and can't wait to see everyone. So, if you want to come have a Pilates party with us, join us on tour. And then, if you're new here, Lesley teaches a mentorship program for teachers, it's called eLevate, and we might be sold out at this point, but we only do one turn, one round of it per year, and next year we're doing 16 spots, and it's you can find all the information about that at Lesley logan.co/elevate and also we have almost completed the full project here of these flash cards that we've been on a mission for for six years, the last that came out last year. Now we're working on, like, you know, like a.Lesley Logan 11:41 Collector's box that has like a cute little stand. I don't know, I've got some ideas. It might take us a little longer than we thought.Brad Crowell 11:47 Yeah, it's not as much of a priority, that's for sure. But you should go check out the cards themselves, because they're epic. Go to opc.me/flashcards, opc.me/flashcards.Lesley Logan 11:56 You know what, I wish maybe it's more of like somehow it's a stand where the you could put, you could put the card on the front or the back of this clear thing, and the back could be a magnifier.Brad Crowell 12:09 Oh, that's interesting.Lesley Logan 12:10 So, like, it, you could put the card in the front and of the slot, and it would just hold it up super cute, but if you put it on the behind, it would magnify it. For our perimenopausal ladies, I cannot get enough words on there and get the font to 10, so.Brad Crowell 12:24 That's why we linked back to the website on every card, because the website we can write as much as we want.Lesley Logan 12:29 And you can make it bigger.Brad Crowell 12:31 Yes, and you do that too. Cool. So, check this out. Go to opc.me/flashcards. Okay, so this week's charitable organization.Lesley Logan 12:38 Yes, yes, we made this change a couple weeks ago. Go back and listen if you want to know why we made the change. We don't have time for it today. June is Pride Month, you guys, and that means I wanted to, I thought it'd be interesting on our recaps to just talk about different LGBTQ IA charities that are doing great work for that community, because that community right now needs all the support it can get, because it is fighting the good fight and trying to help people. The whole community is just being hit with laws left, right, and center in the country. So, I want it, in the US, anyways, and so I wanted to highlight the Trevor Project. So, the Trevor Project was found in 1998 in West Hollywood, California, by James Lecesne.Brad Crowell 13:20 Lecesne, I think, Lecesne.Lesley Logan 13:21 Lecesne or you don't think it's Lecesne.Brad Crowell 13:24 Actually, I think it's Lecesne.Lesley Logan 13:25 Yeah, Lecesne.Brad Crowell 13:26 Yeah, James.Lesley Logan 13:31 Randy Stone, creators of the film Trevor. The Trevor Project is an American non-profit organization, is leading national organization providing crisis intervention, suicide prevention services to LGBTQ young people aged 13 to 24 That's a really, really tough at age, but you know it's really important that they have support. The organization offers a confidential telephone helpline, the Traverse Space Forum, and the educational programs, while reporting increase revenues and dedicating 80% of its budgets to programs. That's huge for a big charity, as them 80% to go like that. This is what we're looking at when we're looking at charities, you know. It has faced criticism regarding its promotion of gender ideology and allegations of mismanagement. So, okay, no, it's perfect, but I do, I do, I've heard of the project with different groups of different podcasts talking about how it can be helpful, and so, you know, I definitely hope it hope it helps people who are listening, who have friends whose kids or loved ones who need this help. Brad, why don't you tell what you liked about their website?Brad Crowell 14:28 Yeah, well, if you want to support them, go to their website, thetrevorproject.org thetrevorproject.org and I was looking at their website and learning a little more about them, and a pop-up happened, and it said, hey, if you need a quick exit from our website, you can just hit the escape key three times, and I was like, what, I'm really interested about this, so I tried it, you know, 123, bam, it closed the tab that I was on with The Trevor Project, and it opened Google, and so if you are looking for support from the Trevor Trevor Project, and you're concerned about someone barging in on you, you know, or you don't want to share that information with the people that you might live with or be around, what an amazing way for them to think ahead, and I mean it's pretty awesome.Lesley Logan 15:18 Speaking of The Pit, there was this one episode about human trafficking, and they were giving this girl a pen before they gave her the pen, because they thought the person that she was with was trafficking her. They opened up the pen to show her that on the in the ink part is the phone number, so the pen just looks like this like stupid pharmaceutical pen, but when you open it up, it actually had a helpline. And so I just think that, like, I love that groups are getting really creative with how can they actually help people, because just putting, you know, a flyer in a place, like, here you go, it's like no one can take that.Brad Crowell 15:51 Well, it's like it's like in, in the when we fly around the world, and we're in the airports, there's not just signs everywhere there, but they are there. Are hidden posters on the inside of the bathroom stalls that are about trafficking, and it says, hey, and it's in like multiple languages, like, like half a dozen languages. It's like, if you are being trafficked, here's the helpline, how to get support right now.Lesley Logan 16:16 Yeah.Brad Crowell 16:17 And you can call a number if you have access to a phone, of course.Lesley Logan 16:19 Oh my gosh, there was a bar in Miami that's like all these bars, they have, if you order an angel drink, they call it the drink, it's called angel, like, oh, I'd like to order the angel shot, then that tells the waiter that you feel unsafe with the date that you're on, and they will help you know you get out of that situation, which is amazing, like, they like, I don't know how they're helping, like maybe they call you a ride or something like that, something like that. I don't quote quote me, but I know the word was like angel, I guess. If the men find out what the word is for, you know, I don't, that's probably not so. The street was probably only in the women's restrooms, but yeah.Brad Crowell 16:53 The angel shot, it's a coded phrase used to signal bar staff that you feel unsafe and need help, such as a bad date.Lesley Logan 16:59 So, going back to the Trevor Project, you know, there's different things you can do, like if you want to do things more local to you, we, whenever we order, whenever you come to a retreat at our house, if you're in eLevate, things like that, we actually order from Bronze Cafe, and proceeds from their restaurant go to support the mental health of LGBTQ community in Las Vegas, so it's June is Pride Month, so you're gonna find all these different things around where you are that are gonna help people in this community, obviously, try to do it all year long, because they need it, but I just think that, like, it's a real shame that this group of people is being marginalized and made the reason why people's lives are so difficult. The trans community specifically, they're 2% of the population, and the actual 2% that is ruining people's lives across the world are the billionaires, those are the welfare people, those are the people who, like, I shared a post was showing, like, Amazon pays like 1.87% in taxes or something like that, it's like something stupid, Alphabet actually pays 10% that shocked me, I was like, they're not getting the best deal, like, so, so, anyways, if we all got together and supported people who are different than us and actually took out the small amount of people who are getting rich off of us, there will be a much different place. And then this group of people would actually get to live with human rights like the rest of us get to have. So, anyways.Brad Crowell 18:15 I just wanted to quickly check that stat. In the US, roughly one out of 10 identifies as LGBTQ as of 2024.Lesley Logan 18:23 Right, but trans is 2%Brad Crowell 18:25 Trans, trans, yeah, okay.Lesley Logan 18:26 Yes, but yeah. What I understand, you know, I know we're smart supposed to spend a lot of time on this, but the internet really pisses me off when these men are like, I'm not gonna have a gay kid.Brad Crowell 18:35 Right, like it's there choice.Lesley Logan 18:36 I shared this thing with you, this guy got this person to like, like, like, he's like, "Oh no, you, you choose to be gay. It's like, "Oh, okay, we'll be gay right now. He's like, "Be gay right now. He's like, "Oh no. He's like, "He's like, he's like, 'Well, you said you could choose, you choose to be gay, so be gay right now.' So the guy's like, "Okay, I choose to be attracted to you right now. He's like, "Yeah, well, I'm not gay, I can never choose to be gay, but you, you didn't.Brad Crowell 18:59 He just chose to be gay. He's like I'm only gay for like 10 seconds.Lesley Logan 19:02 Yeah, well, you're gay, so actually you're bisexual. It was such, was so well articulate, was so great. At any rate, it just shows that a lot of people have idiocies.Brad Crowell 19:13 Ridiculous.Lesley Logan 19:13 Fears, all this different stuff. And I think, like, the reality is that we have to make sure that children today, especially this group of people have love, support, and community, know that they are there's nothing wrong with them.Brad Crowell 19:24 Yeah.Lesley Logan 19:25 You know.Brad Crowell 19:26 Yeah. So.Lesley Logan 19:26 I could never imagine, I was bullied in school for having a big nose, for having big lips, for being poor, for my clothes being not like, I could never imagine, because when you're bullied for that, it changes, they change people, they get to somebody else, it changes all the time. To be bullied for who you're attracted to or how you identify? Holy fuck, that is relentless. That'd be non-stop. Anyways. Okay, well, we'll be right back.Brad Crowell 19:56 Thanks for sticking with us here.Lesley Logan 20:00 thetrevorproject.org, that was the linkBrad Crowell 20:00 Go to thetrevorproject.com yeah, all right. Brad Crowell 20:03 So let's talk about Clare Solly. Clare is a New York City-based actress, singer, novelist, and creative multi-hyphenate. She has self-published three women's fiction novels, is on the board of two theater companies in New York City, and currently works a day job she genuinely enjoys. Clare is also pursuing a PhD in creative writing, adding another chapter to her already wide-ranging creative career. I did not know she was doing that.Lesley Logan 20:32 Oh, she is. We're gonna call her Dr. Clare.Brad Crowell 20:36 Dr. Sally. Lesley Logan 20:37 I remember when she said, "I think I'm gonna do this. Do you think I'm crazy?" And I was like, "You're gonna do it anyways." That's when you know you have a real friend. It doesn't matter, I know you're gonna do it anyways. It doesn't matter. All right.Brad Crowell 20:54 Yeah. So, like I said, the two of you just beat off of each other. So, what was one of the one of the things that you loved, that she said.Lesley Logan 21:02 Oh my god, we got through so much, I think. I feel like, by the way, it's exiting, and it's a very, I find out of all the podcasts we've done, it's not just a theory, like she gave actual tangible things throughout the whole pod.Brad Crowell 21:17 Yeah, it was great.Lesley Logan 21:18 And it made me realize that we do the "Be It" action items, because in case someone's a little ethereal or a little esoteric, I wanted you to have tangible things to do.Brad Crowell 21:25 That's very true. That's why.Lesley Logan 21:26 That's why it exists, because of the woo-woo people are just like, get to know yourself, love everyone, and I wanted, like, okay, well, what do I do today? But this whole episode is like that. So she was talking about employer-employee relationships, so that's really what this is. We know not everybody works for someone else, so, but this is a great episode to present to your friend who's probably struggling with their boss, and sometimes you end up in one, right? Like, I have a girlfriend who's been an entrepreneur for decades, and now she's an employee again. So, she said the employer-employee relation does not inherently require a lifelong debt, and I think a lot of people who listen to this podcast, maybe not young kids today, because they've just seen it happen like they don't, they've not even, well, what they're saying is that the jobs don't even exist when they get older, but for those elder millennials and Gen X, like, where our parents had the same job forever. So, like.Brad Crowell 22:11 My dad just retired from 43 years at the same company.Lesley Logan 22:14 And just, I know we, I think we had it on the pod already, but how many people have retired since that person took over the job?Brad Crowell 22:20 When my dad retired, he asked the exit interview HR lady, "Hey, how many people have you had this interview with?" And she said, "Since Covid, five."Lesley Logan 22:34 FiveBrad Crowell 22:35 YeahLesley Logan 22:35 Only five.Brad Crowell 22:35 Only five.Lesley Logan 22:36 Five in six years. So that's how many people are retiring, which means a lot of them are leaving. But it does not inherently require lifelong debt, and I think that's really important, because I think especially, the majority of our listeners are women, we tend to worry about.Brad Crowell 22:51 I think we need to qualify that. What does lifelong debt mean in this context?Lesley Logan 22:56 Okay. I'm going to just say your parents on their vacation were worried about when they should tell their bosses that they were retiring, and I was like, "You don't," because somebody had left, and I was like, "You don't owe them that information, you're on vacation right now, you shouldn't even know that that person left." I was literally arguing with them, I'm like, "Why would you even go, 'Oh, I'm gonna retire too, so look for two people'? No, not your responsibility. It's their responsibility to be thinking about if people leave," and so that's what I would say.Brad Crowell 23:25 Yeah, I mean, lifelong debt, I would say, is just your entire life orients around the company that you work for. And I know how I operate, and that would be to pour myself into this company, whatever company that I'm working for. Lesley Logan 23:41 I did that for every company I worked for, I just kept being promoted because I poured so hard. They're like this girl doing so much, we should give her this next job.Brad Crowell 23:47 Yeah, and so, the employer-employee relationship does not inherently require a lifelong debt, meaning that, of course, when you're working for someone, do everything that's part of your role, but you don't owe them your life, right?Lesley Logan 24:04 Yeah, right. We were in Paris for four days. Let me tell you right now, they enjoy their life, they go to work. And our friend of ours who lives there, she's like, "Oh, it would be rude to eat at your desk, you literally have to eat in the lunch cafeteria."Brad Crowell 24:20 She works from home, and she goes into the office to have lunch with the group.Lesley Logan 24:24 Yeah, that's not even on her team, they're just the people of that office that she's at, because it's like rude to not be part of it. And she's like, "Yeah, you have a full hour-long lunch, and no matter what you've got going on, you sit there and you enjoy it." People really have a life, and I think there is a way to give 100% at work and then have a life, and I think that's a balance we're missing if you're in the States. If you're outside of the States, we travel a lot, I see you, you're doing a great job, you are living your life. But so let's go back to one thing she said, so she explained you don't actually owe the company anything, like, telling them where you're going.Brad Crowell 25:06 She was talking about actually, in this case, quitting, and you know, if they asked you like, "Well, where are you going to go work next?" Like, you don't need to tell them that.Lesley Logan 25:13 You don't actually have to, it's not a thing. And so, in fact, somebody asked L on demand, our agency member, because they were making a plan to leave, and they're like, "Well, how do I, do I tell them what I'm doing?" And she wrote, "No, you can just say, 'Thank you so much. As of this date, I'm no longer available for this role. I am still available and excited to do this part of my job.'" Because you actually don't need to tell them that you're gonna go run your own thing, especially like it's not, we tend to feel like we have to give them an excuse or a reason. It can just be that you're done. Done is a reason. Yeah, so it's your business. Lesley Logan 25:50 She also said you can be fully transparent about your feelings, but leaving is—it's when you're—it's not required. You can be, but you don't have to be. It's not required. So, the best policy she said is to just walk in and say, "I'm so sorry, I found X, Y, or Z," or "I found another job," and then keep it short and sweet. And I would say the shorter and sweeter the better, and try to do it in a succinct way so they're not the enemy and you're off to greener pastures. You never know if you have to come back.Brad Crowell 26:22 You guys were talking even about the, "Oh, they're paying me more," or whatever. Like, "This other company offered me this role, and they're offering me more money." But you don't even need to say anything like that, because that would then open up the conversation with the current company of, like, "Oh, well, we could pay you more." What if you actually just wanted to leave, you know? So you don't need to be building in an excuse. You can just say, "Hey, you know, I have to move on." You can give an excuse, but you don't need to. Brad Crowell 26:53 I had a very difficult time leaving my job because my old boss liked to sue people, and so I needed to come up with a reason that was acceptable so that he didn't think that I was going to go try to compete with him. Because if that happened, he was going to sue, he sues everybody. So I told him that I was going to focus on my family, and I left that open-ended.Lesley Logan 27:18 You know what, my last—the job that I left, they were litigious-ish because if certain trainers took clients, because they had a non-compete, which is not enforceable, and the non-solicitation as well, which means you couldn't solicit. But I was so afraid that they would think I was soliciting that I also said, "I'm focusing, my husband, you know, I don't need to work this much anymore." I just wanted them, it wasn't their business, and I didn't want them to be looking for something, you know. And we're still friendly, I still talk to everybody, one of my bosses there, like, it's so great. So it doesn't have to be a big deal. I think the gist of that topic is like you can literally, in two sentences or less, exit given the information that they need to process the paycheck and get to your next thing.Brad Crowell 28:08 Yeah, and when I was listening through the whole thing, I liked the idea of being gracious with the exit—like graceful, meaning short, succinct, and clear. And that's what Claire was talking about when exiting not on your terms, basically meaning you're fired. She said if you really want to hand-grenade things, you can, but it's a small world. The industries we all work in are small. Everyone knows everyone. If you have a tumultuous exit, word will get around, right? She said while being fired is definitely an ego stab in your heart, it is crucial to remain polite because the professional world is very small, even if the human instinct is to internalize blame. And what we will do effectively, because it's the human instinct, is internalize the blame. "What did I do wrong?" You know, and we keep reviewing it over and over again in our own minds, picking on ourselves effectively. She said, "Hey, let's turn it around to a positive instead of sitting there picking yourself apart. Maybe you can go and take this new time and learn a new skill." Alternatively, you can evaluate your peers by asking yourself, like, "What are the skills that I have? What can I add to my resume that makes me more excitable as a hire for the future?" So, really shifting back to working to put yourself back out there.Lesley Logan 29:34 Yeah, I think, going back a couple episodes ago, you have to feel your feelings. It's important to grieve that it's a loss, like even if you leave on your own terms, it's still a closure of something, so definitely do that.Brad Crowell 29:48 I always think about people who are almost arrogant, and I think in a situation like this, how lucky are they that they can look at someone firing them and go, "Well, it's your fucking loss, because I'm awesome." You know what I mean? Imagine that perspective versus, "Oh my god, what did I do wrong? Why are you firing me? It's my fault, I fucked up somewhere, I'm not even sure what I did wrong." Those are the two extremes. Maybe we can land in the middle and do ourselves a kindness and not beat ourselves up over it. Because I had to fire someone, and was this person perfect at their job? No. Were they coachable and teachable, and did we actually enjoy having them on the team? Yes. And ultimately, it wasn't because they fucked up a spreadsheet or a document that I had to fire them; I had to fire them because our company couldn't sustain paying them at the time, this many years ago, right? And so it was a shame and not fun, right? So it had nothing to do with her, and I wrote a glowing review.Lesley Logan 30:56 Yeah, no, and for the most part, especially if you're a boss listening to this, most people know, if you do it right and you're coaching correctly, people know that their job is not safe. So, in California, I have to write you up at least three times, because the employers' HR, when you let go of someone, they want to be like, "Here are the instances, here's what the thing was that you were supposed to do."Brad Crowell 31:21 Meaning they should be seeing it coming. "I've got two write-ups already, I know."Lesley Logan 31:25 Like, "Yeah, I'm in the hot seat," you know. And so now, just because you have three doesn't mean you're getting fired—like maybe they happen over 10 years, you know? One of them you fix, whatever. But especially if they're happening in a row, they're coming for it, they're looking for things to come at you with. So you should be watching for that. Lesley Logan 31:42 But you should also like—if I'm consistently having to remind you how to do something, or I'm questioning, like, if there's these things that you're being coached on in your job, and it's like, "Wow, you've been here a year, and we're still working on this" if you're a boss, they should not be blindsided by it if it has to do with the way that they're doing their job, because they're not mind readers. You actually have to tell them if they're doing their job well or not, and if they're not doing their job well, you have to tell them how to do it well to give them that opportunity. And if you don't do that, then they're gonna be blindsided. But if you're constantly re-coaching them on their job and bringing up, like, hey, even if you don't write them up, "Hey, this is the third time we've had to go over this, what's going on here?" Hopefully they're aware. Lesley Logan 32:22 Now, some people are dense and they don't get it. I fired people who yelled at me and all these different things—not like "my loss," but like, "How dare you," right? And I remember going, "You didn't see this coming, dude? This is our third write-up. You're not on time for your clients. What do you want me to do? You're not on time, you've not been on time multiple times."Brad Crowell 32:44 Yeah.Lesley Logan 32:45 This is on you. Brad Crowell 32:46 Yeah, exactly.Lesley Logan 32:47 If he had been taking the bus, I would have been like, "Okay, we got to find a new bus route, we got to find a new shift." Nope, this is all on him driving, you know. So, I think for the most, it doesn't always happen that way, but that's always my ideal goal, is like people know.Brad Crowell 33:01 I had someone try to write me up one time, and I told them that I would not sign the paperworkLesley Logan 33:05 You, you also don't have to sign.Brad Crowell 33:07 And I said, "I disagree with you 100%. I'm happy to talk to your boss about all of this, because I will not sign this."Lesley Logan 33:13 You don't have to sign, they still, you still got it, but you don't have to sign if you don't agree with it. That's true. Yeah, that's fine. It's all combo. Anyways, this is like, thank fucking God I'm not in an office. Jesus. Okay, hold on. She said more great things about exiting.Brad Crowell 33:29 Yes. Well, stick, stick around really quick. We'll be, we will be right back. Brad Crowell 33:34 All right, welcome back. So, let's talk about those "Be It" action items. If you're new here and you're like, "What the hell is that?" "Be It" is the Be It Till You See It podcast acronym, what bold, executable, intrinsic, or targeted action items can we take away from your convo? Claire said, "Hey, give yourself space." Okay, she explicitly warns against immediately jumping back into work after making an exit, whether you made it or they made it. She stated, "Make sure you give yourself a week or two off between jobs, because in any capacity, you have to decompress. It's just good for your mental state." She cautions against skipping this decompression phase, because when you immediately jump back into the next thing, you might actually already be angry or sad or frustrated, or whatever. She said she has rage-updated her resume before, and it just never works out very well.Lesley Logan 34:29 Sounds like if you get dumped, and then you go and do your Tinder or Hinge profile, it probably isn't gonna be as great as if you just waited a moment to be like, "Wow, that person wasn't so great for me. Let me.Brad Crowell 34:42 Yeah, don't rage-update your resume, it's hilarious. What about you? What was your big takeaway?Lesley Logan 34:45 II mean, personally, I never want to have to update a resume like that. I never want to do.Brad Crowell 34:50 I know we've had to update a resume to submit for some things for the business, and we're like, "Where is our resume? What did we.Lesley Logan 34:59 Now, Lex's job is like every so many months, go—because eventually, how long is the resume, you know? How many pages? Because I'm not vying for a job, but loans and stuff want things like that. Anyways, she said take a look at yourself and where you are, look at where you can improve and create an exit strategy. So I like this, because you might not like the job that you're at, you might be frustrated with where it's at, but this kind of is like taking a little bit of radical responsibility—like, where can I improve so that when I find the next place, I'm already a better person for it at the next job, you know? And that allows you to create an exit strategy as well. And I think this is kind of like, you know, if in anything you're wanting to leave, there's a reason you want to leave, and some of it's the situation, and some of it is ownership of how you could be a better person given the new situation, right? She compares this action to having an emergency strategy for a house fire, so you already know where your exits are, and I like that, right?Brad Crowell 36:01 She has some great tips, you know, especially if you know you're leaving and you had already taken things home, slowly start to bring them back to the office, not all at once, and vice versa. If you have things at the office, you could slowly start to take them home again, not all at once, because you're not trying to make your office look empty, but just practical stuff. Pretty cool.Lesley Logan 36:21 Because you never—I mean, even if you think you know your employers the most, like when I worked in, when I ran retail shops, if you gave us a two-week notice, our goal was to see how quickly we can get you a paycheck and end your shift before two weeks in your job, because it was an at-will state, so we could do that. So you put the two weeks in because then you get the better review, like, "Oh, they left and they gave notice," and all these different things, but especially in Pilates and in retail, you have clients, you have customers, so the longer you're there, the longer you can take client phone numbers, emails, different things. Like, we're protecting stuff, so we would just be like, "Out. Bye."Brad Crowell 37:02 Yeah, I think notoriously Netflix is like crazy. If you go in and you quit, before you get back to your desk, you're locked out of every, yeah.Lesley Logan 37:12 Yeah, no, I think it's even in their handbook of like what happens. Keith Olbermann is the one who—it's so funny because he's like, "I was on—they let me be on the air for three months, I could say whatever I wanted." But I do—you never—you just don't know how people are going to react to exits, so make sure that you have prepared well for the exit that you are in control of so that if they do decide, especially if you're an hourly employee or something like that, that they're changing it, you're not needing that money as the in-between, you know. Anyways, well, love it. I'm Lesley Logan.Brad Crowell 37:53 And I'm Brad Crowell.Lesley Logan 37:54 Thanks, Clare, for being our Be It Babe, ready to jump in.

For the fifth time in a row, the Bank of Canada announced it would be keeping interest rates unchanged as many economists expected. There are numerous economic factors the Bank of Canada says it's monitoring before making any interest rate moves including the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, flat GDP numbers and trade talks between CUSMA countries. When asked whether a cut or a hike to the 2.25% overnight rate is in the near future, Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem said the situation is complex. “If the United States imposes significant new trade restrictions on Canada, we may need to cut the policy rate further to support economic growth. Alternatively, if the conflict in the Middle East continues and higher energy prices start leading to ongoing generalized inflation, monetary policy will have more work to do — there may be a need for consecutive increases in the policy rate.” Scotiabank's Chief Economist Jean-François Perrault is back on the podcast to break down what's going on with the economy, whether recession risks are overblown and what Canadians can expect in the coming months.

Daily Soap Opera Spoilers by Soap Dirt (GH, Y&R, B&B, and DOOL)
Click to Subscribe: https://bit.ly/Youtube-Subscribe-SoapDirt Young and the Restless spoilers divulge that Phyllis Summers, portrayed by Michelle Stafford, officially relinquishes control of Newman Enterprises, leaving fans disappointed with the conclusion of the storyline. As Phyllis struggles with her loss, she vents to Michael Baldwin (played by Christian Jules Leblanc), leading to speculation about her next steps. Despite some fans voicing a desire for less focus on Phyllis, head writer Josh Griffith seems set to continue featuring her prominently. Y&R spoilers see Phyllis returning Newman Enterprises to Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) to avoid imprisonment. This leaves her without any possessions or direction, living in a hotel, and possibly turning to Chance Chancellor (Conner Floyd) for a job at GCAC. There's also potential for Phyllis seeking employment from Victor Newman, despite their tumultuous history. Spoilers for Young and Restless suggest that Phyllis may become a significant part of Matt Clark's redemption story. Their friendship could potentially evolve into a romantic relationship. Alternatively, Phyllis may attempt to rekindle her romance with Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow), despite their recent disagreements. More Y&R spoilers indicate Phyllis's long-time friend Lauren (Tracey Bregman) might also offer her a job at Fenmore's. Finally, Phyllis might attempt to reconnect with her children, Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) and Summer Newman (Allison Lanier), painting her surrender of Newman Enterprises as a moral decision made for them.

Welcome to The Turf Zone podcast. This episode features the article “Advancing Precision Weed Management in Turfgrass Systems with Machine Vision-Guided Targeted Spraying” Written by Brooke Heikkila – Graduate Research Assistant Navdeep Godara – Assistant Professor of Turfgrass & Forage Weed Science, Department of Crop and Soil Sciences, North Carolina State University and Pawel Petelewicz – Assistant Professor of Turfgrass Weed Science, University of Florida, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, Agronomy Department Turfgrass managers are facing increasing weed challenges due to evolving regulatory framework and growing incidence of herbicide-resistant weeds. The release of the first turfgrass-specific commercial machine vision-guided sprayer (ALBA, Ecorobotix Inc.) enables automated and localized herbicide applications in turf. Although often referred to as “spot spraying” in marketing materials, “targeted spraying” is a more accurate description as it distinguishes this system from manual spot treatments and other existing precision weed management approaches. Such targeted application systems have already been successfully deployed in other crops using platforms such as the John Deere See and Spray, Agritech America WEED-IT, Verdant Robotics Sharp Shooter, Ecorobotix ARA. Using See and Spray technology, comparable weed control was observed between the broadcast and targeted spraying methods, but the targeted spraying reduced the treated acreage by up to two-thirds. In turfgrass, this technology not only offers significant herbicide savings but also opens the door for practitioners to combat herbicide-resistant weeds by incorporating alternative chemistries, including nonselective herbicides or herbicide tank mixtures combining multiple modes-of-action which are not typically feasible in broadcast applications. Overall, spot spraying is not a new concept, as many turfgrass managers already employ it to control weed escapes following broadcast herbicide applications or where selective chemistries are not an option. Manual spot spraying involves individuals walking the golf course or other turfgrass areas with a sprayer loaded with herbicide to make localized applications directly to weeds. Traditional spot spraying is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and requires applicators to accurately identify weeds, necessitating additional training and expertise. It ultimately increases application costs and is also prone to human error, often resulting in overapplication and missed weeds. However, targeted spraying systems such as ALBA, utilize artificial intelligence combined with machine vision to detect problematic weeds within turfgrass canopy in real-time to apply herbicides only to those small areas where individual weeds are present. ALBA is a tractor pull-behind unit that can operate at speeds up to 4.5 miles per hour and uses an enclosure to block ambient light and to create consistent lighting conditions to continuously scan the turfgrass canopy with its cameras to detect weeds. When a weed is spotted, an individual nozzle – one out of 108 – activates to directly target the weed with a 1.2 × 1.2-inch spray resolution per nozzle. As targeted application systems continue to advance and competing platforms emerge, it is critical to understand how to effectively integrate and leverage these sprayers within turfgrass weed management programs. Several preliminary field experiments using ALBA and its ARA-based predecessor research platform were conducted by the NC State Turfgrass Weed Science Program and the UF/IFAS Turfgrass Weed Science Program to understand the applications of this technology. Preliminary studies showed that machine-vision guided targeted spraying substantially reduces herbicide usage and treated acreage while maintaining weed control efficacy, offering both economic and environmental benefits while targeting wide variety of problematic weeds with high accuracy. Reduction in Herbicide Volume Used – In a study focused on controlling false-green kyllinga in bermudagrass fairways, machine vision-guided targeted spraying with ALBA reduced herbicide spray volume by 77% compared to broadcast treatments. False green kyllinga cover was 17% at the experimental sites during study initiation, triggering significant savings due to the weed-specific, localized targeted treatments compared to broadcast herbicide applications. Broadcast applications of standard kyllinga control products typically cost around $190 to $240 per acre, but targeted treatment can lower the cost by more than $145 per acre even when dealing with moderate level of weed infestation (~15% weed cover). Similarly, in another ongoing study, when annual bluegrass weed cover was 10% in bermudagrass fairways, targeted applications achieved a 66% reduction in herbicide spray volume compared to conventional broadcast treatments. Sulfonylurea herbicides for postemergence control of annual bluegrass cost around $140 to $185 per acre and targeted spraying can reduce the cost by at least $92 per acre when weed cover is 10% or less. Practitioners can expect greater savings at turfgrass sites with lower weed infestations, which are typical of intensively managed surfaces and when applying expensive herbicides such as PoaCure or organic herbicides during winter dormancy of warm-season turfgrasses. Targeted application system was also evaluated for control of broadleaf weeds, dallisgrass, smooth crabgrass, and tropical signalgrass in studies conducted independently or in collaboration between Mississippi State University, NCSU, Virginia Tech and UF IFAS, and observed a 53% to 95% reduction in spray volume. In all the aforementioned cases, weed control levels achieved with targeted spraying were no different from broadcast applications. Thus, these studies demonstrate that, across various problematic weed species, this novel application system can substantially reduce the herbicide volume required, lowering costs without compromising weed control efficacy. Lower Treated Acreage – During broadcast herbicide applications, substantial areas without weeds are often treated unnecessarily. Targeted applications can reduce the treated acreage, enabling practitioners to use herbicides such as MSMA, which are currently restricted to spot treatments on less than 25% of the total golf course acreage per year. Targeted spraying systems are particularly useful for herbicides with limited or no residual activity, as it allows localized treatments to weed instead of broadcast applications to turfgrass. Targeted spraying for false-green kyllinga control (17% weed cover) in bermudagrass fairways resulted in 85% reduction in treated acreage compared to broadcast spraying. In a similar study, an 80% reduction in treated acreage was found when only treating annual bluegrass in dormant bermudagrass at 10% weed cover. A study conducted by UF/IFAS Turfgrass Weed Science Program using circular, non-overlapping targets of varying patch sizes (4-10 cm diameter) to simulate random different weed densities and dispersions within the 1-20%, 21-40%, and 41-60% coverage, indicated total spray deposition of approximately 40%, 64%, and 74%, respectively. This corresponded to estimated herbicide savings of 60%, 36%, and 26%. Spray deposition increased with rising weed pressure, while the non-sprayed area, directly reflecting herbicide savings declined accordingly. These results confirm that variation in herbicide savings with targeted applications is driven primarily by weed density, with dispersion playing a secondary role, exerting stronger effects at low weed densities but negligible influence at higher densities. The reduction in treated acreage can potentially diminish the environmental impact of herbicides by minimizing overall pesticide load released into the environment, limiting off-target movement, reducing the risk of groundwater contamination, and lowering the risk of human exposure associated with pesticide applications. Targeted approaches permit treatment to a limited portion of turf, enabling the effective use of chemistries with area-use limitations. Effective reduction in area treated with targeted spraying will become increasingly important as new regulations come into effect, particularly in the context of upcoming Endangered Species Act-imposed changes. Therefore, research projects funded by the Turfgrass Council of North Carolina will focus on investigating the agronomic and environmental benefits of targeted application systems for managing problematic weed species. Alternative Herbicide Options for Resistance Management – Targeted spraying also enables selectivity at the sprayer level rather than relying only on selectivity of the herbicide used. This potentially allows turf managers to use nonselective herbicides that were previously not an option for broadcast treatment due to severe injury to actively growing turfgrasses. Broad spectrum herbicides like glyphosate, glufosinate, or flumioxazin are highly effective against a wide variety of weeds, but practitioners often wait for turfgrass to go dormant before spraying nonselective herbicides, while in some geographies, such as Florida, achieving full dormancy is not even possible. However, with this new technology, practitioners will have the option to incorporate nonselective herbicides year-round with minimal collateral damage to turfgrass. Glyphosate (Roundup Pro Concentrate) applied via broadcast application at 12 fluid ounces per acre rate reduced bermudagrass green cover significantly, but targeted spraying had similar level of green cover as nontreated plots as documented in our recent study. Likewise, glufosinate applied at 41 fluid ounces per acre (as Finale XL T&O) reduced bermudagrass cover drastically after broadcast application but had minimal effect on turfgrass after targeted spraying. Targeted spraying technology also allows use of novel admixtures that are not currently being used during regular turfgrass maintenance. Rotating or tank mixing herbicide from different modes of action are crucial for sustainable turfgrass management, as selection pressure for herbicide resistance continues to increase. For instance, practitioners can use tank mixtures of herbicides like pyridate + sulfentrazone or bentazon + halosulfuron + sulfentrazone for targeted spraying without compromising efficacy on false-green kyllinga. These novel admixtures contain multiple modes of action in a single application that could reduce selection pressure and combat herbicide-resistant kyllinga. Similar admixtures should be explored for the management of other herbicide-resistant or difficult-to-control weeds. Limitations – Like with any new technologies, there are limitations to consider when adopting a machine vision-guided sprayer. Currently, only one commercial unit (ALBA by Ecorobotix Inc.) is available, providing managers with a single option for this turfgrass-specific targeted spraying technology. Additional machine vision-guided sprayers need to be developed specifically for turfgrass systems, as interest in these technologies among turfgrass managers continues to grow and the needs across different turfgrass industry segments will vary. The cost of the equipment and the annual model subscription will be a major barrier for many turfgrass managers. Offering incentives, such as reduced subscription fees for the first few years, could help increase adoption of this technology. Alternatively, with ALBA being an example of a high-end solution maximizing performance and system sophistication, other developers may consider trade-offs to reduce equipment production and maintenance costs to improve accessibility. Although ALBA seems to demonstrate high detection accuracy on key problematic weeds, further research is needed to understand its year-round performance, considering changes in visual characteristics of weeds and turfgrass across growth stages and under varying environmental contexts. In our preliminary work, a few false positives occasionally led to herbicide applications to weed-free turfgrass. Also, we observed that in situations where weed presence (particularly grassy weeds) in the camera's path exceeded that of turfgrass, the detection system became confused, effectively reversing target and background and treating turfgrass instead of the weed. However, developers are actively addressing these shortcomings and performance of targeted applications systems by continuing to improve imagery databases, training and validation across diverse geographical regions and management contexts. There is no doubt that machine vision-guided sprayers will have a transformative impact on the turfgrass industry, however, extension efforts will be critical for adoption. Also, as this technology is still novel for turfgrass systems, ongoing research and development is critical to improve performance, reliability, and to meet industry needs. Among others, further research is needed to evaluate performance under varying travel speeds, expand applications to targeted residual treatments, and refine application thresholds to maximize herbicide savings. Authors acknowledge the Turfgrass Council of North Carolina for sponsoring ongoing research projects focused on leveraging targeted application devices for weed management in NC turfgrass systems. The authors also thank Ecorobotix Inc. for providing a commercial unit for evaluation. You have been listening to The Turf Zone Podcast.

Today, your true neural shifts are beginning to solidify. When your weekly calendar is packed with demanding roles and heavy outputs, your energy flies upward into a chaotic buzz of mental stress. In this session, we enter a deep practice of somatic replenishment by anchoring our awareness at the base of the spine—the Muladhara Root Chakra. Through a targeted red-light visualization and stabilizing breath protocols, we feed your nervous system the vital security it needs to completely settle and recharge. In This Episode, You'll Discover: The Anatomy of Burnout Recovery: Why a hyper-vigilant nervous system requires a biological shift into radical nourishment and safety. The Muladhara Activation: How focusing on the Root Chakra lowers your center of gravity out of your racing thoughts and anchors your body into the solid earth. Somatic Nutrient Flow: A guided 10-minute meditation to down-regulate your stress response, melt away lower body tension, and nurture your peace. A Message for Your Heart When you are holding up a large vision and balancing multiple responsibilities, it is incredibly easy to spend all your energy pouring into the world without saving any for yourself. Today, remember that you do not have to finish everything on your plate to deserve a moment of pure, uninterrupted nourishment. Your worth is not measured by your daily output. In this space right now, you are allowed to pull your energy back home. You are allowed to be held. You are allowed to be entirely nurtured. Let the affirmation 'My nervous system is steady, my body is safe, and I am entirely at peace' sink into your cells today. You are doing an extraordinary job. This is day 5 of a 7-day meditation series, 3514-3520 Somatic Stress Relief. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY If you are tired of waking up already feeling overwhelmed, running on adrenaline, and dealing with that persistent background anxiety that makes it impossible to focus, you are in the exact right place. This week, we are stepping into a profound, 7-day somatic experience designed to pull you out of survival mode and return you to a state of calm, unshakeable power. We aren't just going to talk about peace; we are going to build it directly into your biology. Over the next seven days, we will layer powerful, science-backed tools—including ancient hand mudras like the Pran Mudra, deep rhythmic breathing protocols, target chakra alignments, and restorative physical resets—to train your body that it is safe to let go. Whether you are navigating a high-velocity career, balancing a mountain of daily demands, or simply trying to quiet an overactive mind before bed, this series is your ultimate biological reset button. Get ready to lower your cortisol, drop your shoulders, and reclaim your inner sovereignty. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: THE 30-SECOND COLD SPLASH At the end of your morning shower, turn the handle to cold for just 30 seconds. Alternatively, fill a bowl with ice water and submerge your face up to your temples for 10 seconds. MEDITATION TECHNIQUES: DAY 1: VISUALIZATION Visualize yourself seated next to people who calm you. DAY 2: AFFIRMATION "My body is safe, and I am at peace." DAY 3: THE EXTENDED EXHALE BREATHING TECHNIQUE Inhale through your nose for a count of 4, feeling your belly expand. Hold gently at the top for a count of 4. Exhale slowly through pursed lips (like breathing through a straw) for a count of 8. Repeat for 3 to 5 cycles to instantly lower your heart rate and drop cortisol levels. DAY 4: PRAN MUDRA (THE LIFE FORCE SEAL) This mudra acts like a grounding cord for a scattered, anxious mind while simultaneously replenishing drained energy reserves without overstimulating your system. How to do it: On both hands, bring the tips of your ring finger and pinky finger to touch the tip of your thumb. Keep your index and middle fingers extended straight out. Rest your hands on your lap, palms facing up. DAY 5: MULADHARA ROOT CHAKRA When the nervous system is overwhelmed, energy flies upward into a swirling vortex of overthinking. Dropping your awareness down to the Root Chakra—located at the base of your spine—anchors you. Visualize a rich, warm, steady crimson light grounding you deeply into the solid earth beneath you.

This week: two audio essays. First up, they're calling it the Poor Man's Tomahawk. Ukraine is firing up to 2000 long range drones a week into Russia. The production facilities supplying them are scattered across Western Europe. These production facilities have an artificial shield, in that they are diplomatically protected. But how long this will last is unclear. For its part, Ukraine would like the West to be more active in the war. And one way to do that would be to antagonise Russia into responding beyond its borders. There is now a 50% chance of erratic strikes into Europe proper within the next year, as Philip Pilkington makes clear in The Escalation Ladder. Meanwhile, Andrew Collingwood has been supping on a 2019 masterwork of geopolitics. Weaponized Interdependence is the title of a Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman paper, in which the pair argue that states with political authority over the central "hubs" in global economic networks: such as those for finance, data, and trade, can exploit this position to gain a strategic advantage. States sitting atop those nodes can exploit two effects: panopticon (information dominance) and choke point (cutting off access to irreplaceable hubs).Hormuz is one hub. Russia has its commodity hubs. And China has its manufacturing hub dominance. Put it all together, and the new Iran war has revealed a structural shift in global power, says Andrew Collingwood. Of course, this is a pay week — if you want access to this episode, you're going to have to go on Patreon, and sign up. Simply type Multipolarity into the search bar and do the needful. Alternatively, you can now get premium episodes and our regular print work over on Substack for 12 USD a month. The choice is yours, but don't get caught in no man's land.
How does it feel to be actively retraining your nervous system? You're stepping out of survival mode and finding your footing. Hitting the middle of the week is often when external demands peak, making today's practice the perfect opportunity to witness your own growth and resilience. You are doing an incredible job sticking with this commitment to your inner peace—keep going. Today, our developmental arc is Protect. If you often finish your day feeling completely depleted, over-stimulated, or emotionally exhausted from absorbing the stress of your environment, your energetic boundaries are leaking. In this session, we explore the somatic neuroscience of energy conservation and introduce a high-performance physical seal—the Pran Mudra—to instantly ground your nervous system, stop sensory overload, and build a protective boundary around your peace. In This Episode, You'll Discover: The Porous Nervous System: The biological reason why high-achievers absorb environmental anxiety and hit sensory burnout fast. The Pran Mudra Protocol: How closing the nerve circuits in your fingers acts as a biological battery charger to protect your daily stamina. Somatic Shielding: A guided 10-minute meditation to help you drop your cortisol baseline, stop over-functioning for others, and reclaim your personal sovereignty. A Message for Your Heart You likely deeply care for everything and everyone in your orbit. You may be constantly holding up a massive vision, managing complex timelines, and anchoring the spaces you occupy. Because your heart is so big, it can be incredibly easy to let the chaotic energy of the outside world bleed into your personal sanctuary. Today, I want to remind you that protecting your peace is not selfish—it is an act of supreme inner sovereignty. You cannot serve from an empty well, and you do not have to be a sponge for the stress of the world to be successful. By holding the Pran Mudra today, you are safely sealing your borders and declaring that your peace is non-negotiable. Step back into your own power. You are doing an extraordinary job. This is day 4 of a 7-day meditation series, 3514-3520 Somatic Stress Relief.

But why did no one tell me this has one of the best vehicular chases ever committed to film?!!! 0:00 - Trivial Trivia 15:57- What's Up, Doc? review 58:50- Next episode's mandated movie We'll be back in two weeks with another mandated movie.

Horses and horse owners from across North America will make their way to the MN State Fairgrounds in St. Paul for the Percheron World Congress. Bob Bosold explains the elements of the horse, and the show components with Jim Day, co-chair of the event. Day says this horse was initially bred for battle in the Middle Ages, but has advanced to being great in the harness, or saddle. He also explains the different colors that the breed can feature. Get your outdoor plans and tasks wrapped up today and tomorrow. Stu Muck says the rain and thunderstorms begin popping up in Wisconsin's forecast on Thursday evening. Chickens offer more than just bug eating abilities and eggs. Kiley Allan gets a whole new appreciation for the creature from Nelle Kempfer, Park Administrator at Schumaher Farm Park in Waunakee. Chickens are a magnet for kids, and also adults interested in starting their own flock. They've turned into a great recruiting tool to bring visitors to the living history farm site. Wisconsin's latest crop progress report bears out that warm dry weather has elevated the crop. Pam Jahnke runs down the latest ratings from the WI Ag Statistical Service. With the high cost of fertilizer causing concern from Wisconsin farmers, researchers are looking at ways for them to maximize their local grown fertilizers - manure. Joe Sanford, assistant professor at UW-Platteville and affiliated with the UW Dairy Innovation Hub says. Sanborn's working with industry leaders on developing sensor data to make immediate adjustments from the tractor cab to hit specific nutrient targets (e.g., 150 lbs of nitrogen per acre). Alternatively, they can empty their storages by volume, analyze the collected map data later, and use precise commercial supplements to fill in the gaps.The primary end-users for this expensive technology are large-scale farms with massive storages and high agitation costs, as well as custom operators who pump millions of gallons for hundreds of different clients annually and want to add a premium service. Currently, the sensor functions purely as an internal data collection system; it does not yet satisfy state regulatory requirements for annual laboratory manure analysis. Additionally, some farmers hesitate to adopt the technology due to lingering concerns over data ownership and how potential over-application data might be used.

It's time to get out of your head and ground yourself. Welcome to Day 3 of our master series, Somatic Stress Relief. Today, our developmental arc is Ground. When you are managing an intense workload, your attention easily becomes scattered, leaving you feeling mentally untethered and physically exhausted. I n this session, we explore the precise neurobiology of somatic grounding and introduce an immediate physical intervention: the 4-4-8 Extended Exhale repeated exactly three times to instantly halt a frantic adrenaline spike and drop you back into a state of steady, sovereign presence. In This Episode, You'll Discover: The Physics of Overwhelm: How shallow, chest-based breathing traps your brain in an anxiety loop and drains your focus. The 3-Cycle Vagus Nerve Reset: The biological shift that occurs during each phase of the 4-4-8 breathing pacing. Reclaiming Your Foundation: A guided 10-minute somatic breathwork session to drop your internal center of gravity, melt physical tension, and anchor your mind. A Message for Your Heart The noise of a busy week can pull you out of your center. When you are managing endless details, navigating complex projects, and carrying a major vision, it can feel like you are being blown about by every passing wind. Today, I want to remind you that you do not have to be at the mercy of the chaos around you. You are the deep-rooted tree, not the leaves swirling in the storm. By pausing for just three conscious breaths today, you are reclaiming your baseline power. You are telling the world: 'I will not be rushed.' Let the quiet, steady weight of your own body remind you of your absolute resilience today. You are doing an extraordinary job. This is day 3 of a 7-day meditation series, 3514-3520 Somatic Stress Relief.

The thinkers of the Scottish Enlightenment have often been claimed for sociology. But, what does it mean to say these thinkers were sociologists, or at the very least precursors to the subject? Does it, for example, mean that intellectuals of 18th Century Scotland had the same concerns as we do today? Alternatively, does it mean we should think of sociology as an elite discipline, developed by men who were attached to power, albeit with some often critical insights? In turn, if we accept these thinkers as doing something distinct, how can this sociologically be explained? These are the questions which animate Alex Law's The Roots of Sociology: Scottish Enlightenment and the Civilising Process (Routledge, 2026). Structured around two sections, Sociology and the Scottish Enlightenment, as well as Sociology of the Scottish Enlightenment, Law sees these thinkers as thinking through what Elias would later call the civilising process. He so doing he explores how questions of state formation, violence and emerging commercial society structured their interest and how the particular position of Scotland, a stateless nation experiencing rebellion, provided the space for what he calls their ‘pre-sociology'. In our podcast we discuss how Law's attempt to see the Scottish Enlightenment thinks as concerned with the civilising process differs from other attempts to claim them for sociology, the legacy of the Act of Union for these writers and how one became a thinker in these times. We also discuss why Adam Smith is, for Law, an ‘ambivalent' figure for sociology and what we can learn from these writers about the scope and historical insight sociology should have.

The thinkers of the Scottish Enlightenment have often been claimed for sociology. But, what does it mean to say these thinkers were sociologists, or at the very least precursors to the subject? Does it, for example, mean that intellectuals of 18th Century Scotland had the same concerns as we do today? Alternatively, does it mean we should think of sociology as an elite discipline, developed by men who were attached to power, albeit with some often critical insights? In turn, if we accept these thinkers as doing something distinct, how can this sociologically be explained? These are the questions which animate Alex Law's The Roots of Sociology: Scottish Enlightenment and the Civilising Process (Routledge, 2026). Structured around two sections, Sociology and the Scottish Enlightenment, as well as Sociology of the Scottish Enlightenment, Law sees these thinkers as thinking through what Elias would later call the civilising process. He so doing he explores how questions of state formation, violence and emerging commercial society structured their interest and how the particular position of Scotland, a stateless nation experiencing rebellion, provided the space for what he calls their ‘pre-sociology'. In our podcast we discuss how Law's attempt to see the Scottish Enlightenment thinks as concerned with the civilising process differs from other attempts to claim them for sociology, the legacy of the Act of Union for these writers and how one became a thinker in these times. We also discuss why Adam Smith is, for Law, an ‘ambivalent' figure for sociology and what we can learn from these writers about the scope and historical insight sociology should have. Your host, Matt Dawson is Professor of Sociology at the University of Glasgow and the author of G.D.H. Cole and British Sociology: A Study in Semi-Alienation (Palgrave Macmillan, 2024) and co-editor of The Anthem Companion to Henri Lefebvre (Anthem Press, 2026) along with other texts.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 1, 2026 is: palatable PAL-uh-tuh-bul adjective Palatable describes something that has a pleasant or agreeable taste, or that is pleasant or acceptable to someone. // Our group was pleasantly surprised that the food options at the local fair were actually palatable this year. // Given the traffic downtown, traveling by train is a palatable alternative to driving. See the entry > Examples: “[Toni] Morrison's work was not meant to be a palatable salve. Instead, surprise and provocation are the ingredients of her fiction.” — Edna Bonhomme, The New Republic, 6 Mar. 2026 Did you know? It may be a coincidence that you can't spell the word palatable without all of the letters in plate (the two words are etymologically unrelated), but this fact may help you remember that palatable is synonymous with a host of words that can describe an enjoyable meal, from tasty to toothsome. Alternatively, you could just stick your finger in your mouth and touch the roof of your mouth, aka your palate. As the palate was once considered the seat of one's sense of taste, so the word palate eventually came to refer to both a literal and figurative sense of taste (as in “architecture too ornate for my palate”). The adjective palatable arose from palate (via the now-rare verb palate defined in our Unabridged dictionary as “to taste or relish”) in the 17th century, and functions similarly. Seasonings from adobo to za'atar make food more palatable, certainly, but ideas and advice can be made more palatable, too. As a wise woman once sang, a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.
If you find it incredibly difficult to quiet your mind, drop your shoulders, or stop rushing even when you have downtime, your nervous system may be trapped in a chronic survival loop. In this session, we explore the science of parasympathetic recovery and introduce a powerful somatic affirmation protocol designed to rewrite your internal stress baseline and signal absolute safety to your physical body. In This Episode, You'll Discover: The Anatomy of Restless Rest: Why lying down isn't enough to heal burnout if your nervous system is still cycling adrenaline. The Neurobiology of Affirmations: How pairing specific internal phrases with body awareness directly soothes the brain's alarm system (the amygdala). The Safe Space Awakening: A guided 10-minute somatic immersion to lower your heart rate, dissolve muscle bracing, and anchor you in deep, cellular peace. A Message for Your Heart When you carry so many responsibilities and care for so many pieces of the world, your mind may convince you that staying on high alert is the only way to keep things together. Today, I want to remind you that rest is not a luxury you have to earn after everything else is finished—rest is the very foundation that protects your brilliance. You do not have to fix, force, or control a single thing in this space. You are allowed to take your hands off the wheel. Let the affirmation 'My body is safe and I am at peace' act as a soft, protective shield around your spirit today. You are doing an extraordinary job. This is day 2 of a 7-day meditation series, 3514-3520 Somatic Stress Relief. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY If you are tired of waking up already feeling overwhelmed, running on adrenaline, and dealing with that persistent background anxiety that makes it impossible to focus, you are in the exact right place. This week, we are stepping into a profound, 7-day somatic experience designed to pull you out of survival mode and return you to a state of calm, unshakeable power. We aren't just going to talk about peace; we are going to build it directly into your biology. Over the next seven days, we will layer powerful, science-backed tools—including ancient hand mudras like the Pran Mudra, deep rhythmic breathing protocols, target chakra alignments, and restorative physical resets—to train your body that it is safe to let go. Whether you are navigating a high-velocity career, balancing a mountain of daily demands, or simply trying to quiet an overactive mind before bed, this series is your ultimate biological reset button. Get ready to lower your cortisol, drop your shoulders, and reclaim your inner sovereignty. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: THE 30-SECOND COLD SPLASH At the end of your morning shower, turn the handle to cold for just 30 seconds. Alternatively, fill a bowl with ice water and submerge your face up to your temples for 10 seconds. MEDITATION TECHNIQUES: DAY 1: VISUALIZATION Visualize yourself seated next to people who calm you. DAY 2: AFFIRMATION "My body is safe, and I am at peace." DAY 3: THE EXTENDED EXHALE BREATHING TECHNIQUE Inhale through your nose for a count of 4, feeling your belly expand. Hold gently at the top for a count of 4. Exhale slowly through pursed lips (like breathing through a straw) for a count of 8. Repeat for 3 to 5 cycles to instantly lower your heart rate and drop cortisol levels. DAY 4: PRAN MUDRA (THE LIFE FORCE SEAL) This mudra acts like a grounding cord for a scattered, anxious mind while simultaneously replenishing drained energy reserves without overstimulating your system. How to do it: On both hands, bring the tips of your ring finger and pinky finger to touch the tip of your thumb. Keep your index and middle fingers extended straight out. Rest your hands on your lap, palms facing up. DAY 5: MULADHARA ROOT CHAKRA When the nervous system is overwhelmed, energy flies upward into a swirling vortex of overthinking. Dropping your awareness down to the Root Chakra—located at the base of your spine—anchors you. Visualize a rich, warm, steady crimson light grounding you deeply into the solid earth beneath you. DAY 6: LAYER ALL THE TECHNIQUES TOGETHER DAY 7: REFLECTION AND CELEBRATION SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

If you are arriving with a mind that feels crowded by endless to-do lists, background anxiety, or the heavy pressure of managing daily life, consider this episode your personal sanctuary. Today, we step away from cognitive problem-solving and drop directly into somatic grounding. Through a beautiful, extended-exhale breathing protocol, we trigger the body's natural relaxation response, melting away internal tension and returning your mind to a state of soft, unshakeable clarity. In This Episode: Somatic Grounding: A simple, physical body-scan technique to instantly pull your awareness out of a racing mind and back into the safety of the present moment. Reclaiming Space: Learning how to hit the internal pause button on a fast-moving day so you can protect your creative energy and prevent burnout. A Message for Your Heart Are you feeling the weight of the responsibilities you carry? You may be carrying many moving parts that you are constantly balancing, decisions that rest on your shoulders, and being 'the strong one' for everyone else around you. It is beautiful how much care you pour into the world, but your heart needs care, too. Today, I want to give you permission to put down the invisible shield you've been holding up to get through the week. You do not have to earn your right to be still, and you do not have to complete every single task before you are allowed to rest. True sovereignty means knowing when to pause the spinning world so you can fill your own cup first. You are allowed to be soft. You are allowed to take up space. Trust the quiet strength that lives inside your stillness today. You are doing a truly extraordinary job." This is day 1 of a 7-day meditation series, 3514-3520 Somatic Stress Relief.

Send us Fan MailOn-Demand Programme Link - https://mailchi.mp/bb2a7b851246/kairos-centreWhat is passive-aggressive behaviour? Do you fight like this? Passive-aggressive behaviour is when you express negative feelings indirectly instead of openly talking about them. It is a defence used to protect self. It might stem from early experiences and has become a way to protect self. It might also include feelings of rejection, fear, mistrust, insecurity and/or low self-esteem. It is often vindictive and a way of doing "fight' with someone.It is a way of expressing negative feelings, rather than talking openly about the issue which as caused upset. It is a way to communicate anger and other forms of distress, without openly acknowledging the emotions. It might take the form of action or inaction. An example might be, the person who attends an event (unwillingly), then is rude or hostile. Alternatively, it might be that they avoid the event and give a partner the “silent treatment.” That is overt aggression, adopted as a communication style, as revenge for an upset caused to them.Someone who uses passive aggression may feel angry, resentful, or frustrated, but they act neutral, pleasant, or even cheerful. They then find indirect ways to show how they really feel. They might say one thing, but do something quite contrary. They may do the thing they do not want to do and brood and complain whilst doing it.They might do something that seems kind (on the surface), but is opposite to the other person's expectation and preference. For example, someone who knows you are trying to lose weight, purposely buys a large sugary birthday cake for you.Passive aggression is a common coping mechanism that many people use from time to time, especially when they want to avoid direct conflict. People who engage in passive aggression may feel just as aggressive or hostile as those who adopt more overt forms of aggression.Anger, frustration, and displeasure are normal emotions. People who rely on passive aggression rather than direct communication to show these emotions often grew up in a family where that behaviour was common. It might not have felt safe for them to directly express their feelings as a child.Passive aggressive behaviour takes many forms but can generally be described as a non-verbal aggression that manifests in negative behavior - like these other examples:Limit/curtail communication: when clearly there is a problematic issue presentAvoiding/Ignoring/evading: because anger won't allow you to address the issue calmly Procrastinating: intentionally putting off something and knowing it will adversely affect the other person(s)Obstructing/deliberately stalling/preventing somethingAvoiding situations: where competition might show you in an unfavourable lightAmbiguity/cryptic/unclear: not fully engagingSulking/silent treatment/sullen/dogmatic: in order to get attention or sympathy.Purposely late: knowing that will offendThwarting/frustrating someone expectation: to be 'bloodyminded'Purposely forgetting key matters: to show a blatant disregard and disrespect Limiting/withholding/avoiding Intimacy: known to be liked by the other personMaking Excuses/coming up with reasons: for not doing thingsVictim role: so as to avoid taking responsibility for own roleGet some help from The Kairos Centre.

Sitali Pranayama, derived from the Sanskrit word for "cool," is a breath technique ideal for hot weather or stress. It involves inhaling through a rolled tongue or pursed lips, creating a cooling effect. Alternatively, Sitkari Pranayama uses a wide grin to inhale across the teeth. Both techniques help cool the body, soothe inflammation, and balance excess Pitta dosha.Simhasana Pranayama (Lion's Breath) involves forcefully exhaling through the mouth while sticking out the tongue and gazing between the eyebrows (Shambavi Mudra). This practice releases tension, stress, and pent-up emotions, while stimulating energy flow and fostering empowerment.In this class, we'll refine Bakasana (Heron Pose), preparing the shoulders and pelvis to increase range of motion and strength. We'll emphasise Hasta Bandha (hand lock) to strengthen the hands and wrists for arm balances. The sequence builds heat and energy, offering the cooling and releasing benefits of Sitali and Simhasana Pranayama. Enjoy!To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

What if improving blood flow—and potentially enhancing heart health, energy, and even cognitive function—didn't require surgery? In this Living to 100 Club episode, we explore EECP therapy, a non-invasive treatment designed to improve circulation and support cardiovascular health. I speak with Jack Clifford about his personal experience with Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP). EECP is a non-invasive therapy designed to increase circulation and support cardiovascular function. Originally developed as a treatment for patients with severe angina, EECP remains relatively underutilized in the United States. This is despite FDA clearance and Medicare coverage in certain cases. Jack shares his journey with EECP, including the improvements he experienced in energy, sleep, and overall well-being. We also explore the broader potential of this therapy. What are its possible applications for conditions such as cognitive decline, long COVID, and other circulation-related concerns. Our conversation goes beyond the medical procedure itself. We touch on larger questions about innovation in healthcare. This includes why some treatments gain traction while others remain on the margins, and what individuals can do to advocate for their own health. As always, this discussion is intended to inform and inspire curiosity—not to replace medical advice. Listeners are encouraged to consult with qualified healthcare professionals when considering treatment options. Key Topics Covered What EECP is and how it works Jack's personal experience and outcomes The standard treatment protocol and what patients can expect Why EECP remains underutilized in the U.S. Research findings and emerging applications Considerations, risks, and accessibility challenges The role of patient advocacy in exploring treatment options Listener Takeaways There may be non-surgical approaches to improving circulation and cardiovascular health Some therapies remain underrecognized despite clinical research and regulatory approval Personal health outcomes can improve through a combination of medical intervention and self-awareness Staying informed and asking questions is an important part of managing one's own health journey Mini Bio Jack Clifford is a retired U.S. Coast Guard E-9 with 21 years of active duty service. He is the author of EECP: The Most Underutilized Therapy in Medicine. After retiring from the military at 39, Clifford spent years focused almost entirely on the health of his wife Jennifer. During this time, she was navigating her traumatic brain injury, scleroderma, and lymphoma across two decades. During that period, he stopped caring for himself. In January 2021, he was hospitalized at 47 with severe coronary artery disease. His diagnoses included a 100% blocked LAD (the widowmaker), a 95% blocked left circumflex, and an 80% blocked right coronary artery. He declined to sign a combined cath-and-bypass consent form and leaving the hospital against medical advice. Alternatively, he found EECP — a therapy he had first encountered years earlier while researching options for his mother after her own triple bypass and subsequent cognitive decline. He drove three hours to find a cardiologist willing to use EECP as a first-line treatment. Additionally, Jack financed his own machine on credit, and has used it nearly every day since. Over more than 600 hours of treatment he observed many changes. These cut across cardiovascular function, cognition, sleep, and overall vitality that deepened his understanding of the endothelium as a whole-body system. His wife Jennifer also began using the same machine. She hasexperienced her own measurable improvements — turning a personal discovery into an obligation to share it. Through his writing and educational outreach, Clifford seeks to ensure that no patient is offered EECP only after being told their options have run out. Importantly, he advises that the structural and economic reasons for its neglect become part of the public conversation about American healthcare.
