Podcasts about anchors

Hi Neighbor, Today marks not only our 200th episode, but also the third anniversary of this podcast. What started as a simple idea and a backyard walk has now grown into a global community of adoptive parents seeking encouragement, connection, and biblical hope. In this milestone episode, I'll take you back to where it all began. I'm recording from my outdoor “studio,” the same backyard path where I first began sharing adoption content three years ago. I reflect on the origin of the podcast, the evolution of its name, and the heart behind every episode: letting adoptive parents know they're not alone in the hard work of parenting. You'll also get a sneak peek at what's ahead for the podcast and community. Coming attractions include:

After a little time away (hello, school holidays and a much-needed breather), we're back and really looking forward to this next season of Design Dialogues. The break gave me time to reflect on how I run my own business—what's working, what needs adjusting, and how I want to structure my weeks moving forward.In this solo episode, I'm sharing a more realistic and creative-friendly approach to time blocking—one that actually works for interior designers. If you've tried traditional time blocking and found it too rigid or overwhelming, you're not alone. This method lets you zoom out, align your work with your energy, and make space for what really matters—without losing the flexibility you need to thrive as a designer.Whether you're juggling projects, marketing, clients, and still trying to find time to actually design, this episode will help you create more structure, less stress, and a better rhythm in your studio.Hope you enjoy the episodeBeth xxEpisode Highlights• Why most time blocking advice fails for creative business owners• A gentler, month-based approach that allows for creative energy and real life• Three building blocks of a sustainable time-blocking system• Sample weekly structures tailored for design studios• Why flexibility is essential (and how to plan for it)• Creating recurring “CEO hours” to stay focused on your big picture• Anchoring your calendar with your priorities, not your to-do listKey Takeaways• Time blocking doesn't need to feel like punishment—it should feel supportive• Planning in phases or themes lets you stay focused without boxing you in• Anchors like CEO hours and content days create a steady rhythm for your week• The best system is one that works with your energy, not against it• Let go of the pressure to “do it all” every day—give your business breathing spacePractical Insights• Use monthly and weekly planning rhythms that evolve with your business• Blend digital and analogue tools to stay organised in a way that suits you• How to design a realistic week—even when you wear every hat in your business• Time-blocking tips for solo designers and those building a teamPerfect For:• Interior designers juggling client work, studio admin, and creative direction• Studio owners who want to stop reacting and start planning with intention• Creatives who've tried and failed with traditional productivity systems• Anyone who wants more time to design (and maybe even a Friday off!)

Unlike human broadcasters, AI presenters never tire, stumble, or miss their cues—and they're already appearing on Chinese news programs. But can a digital persona truly replicate the empathy, intuition, and authenticity of a living host? As synthetic anchors gain traction, media education faces a pivotal choice: adapt curricula for the AI era, or risk irrelevance. / Meeting migrant children's needs for quality play (30:55).

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

Have you ever felt completely alone—like you were the only one facing something so hard it seemed no one else could understand? What do you do in those moments? Who do you turn to? If you're an adoptive parent feeling that way right now, may I gently suggest this: it's time to grab hold of an anchor. Hi Neighbor,⁣ I'm imagining an adoptive parent listening to this episode, feeling isolated and overwhelmed. I know that feeling well because my wife and I have been there, too. There were times we were convinced no one else could possibly understand what we were walking through. The adoption journey can be incredibly hard. But it doesn't have to be lonely. If you're feeling alone, please hear this, you're not. In this episode, let's talk about how to find your anchor when the waves hit hard. Anchors of hope and healing are on the way. Your Neighbor, Tim P.S. You're not alone in this journey! I'm putting together something designed to offer real, practical help and emotional support for fellow adoptive parents like you. I'd love to talk with you about it, about what you're walking through, and what kind of support would be most meaningful right where you are.

In this episode, FSA speaks with Leonard Wood during our Executive Leadership Conference in Miami. Leonard was a keynote presenter and shared insights on the four anchors to success. We explore the key differences between what motivates us personally versus what motivates others, and how vulnerability plays a role in leadership. Just after taking the stage, Leonard discusses how understanding the motivations of individuals on our team—and then learning when to step aside—can empower them to thrive and achieve meaningful success.

John is living lake life on his newly refurbished pontoon military base. He's figuring out how to be a captain, but isn't sure happiness is something that can easily be ticked off the box

Colossians 3:1-12

“By the time he left, I felt like I was close to a mental breakdown. And I would tell my husband over and over, I can't do this long, much longer. I just can't.  You know, I would go sit in the Walmart parking lot for three hours until he went to bed. And so I was avoiding my whole family. That affected my husband because here my husband is supposed to be my protector, but legally he can't protect me against this thirteen-year-old who's constantly verbally abusing me.” Hi Neighbor, Navigating the complexities of parenting a child with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is a journey few understand, yet many adoptive parents endure in silence.  In this episode, I sit down with Karen, an adoptive mother of six and a survivor of the extraordinary challenges RAD can bring to a family. Her vulnerability is a reminder that while this path is isolating, hope and healing are possible. RAD is a daily battle that can reshape a family. In Karen, we see what it means to survive, to keep going, and to find strength through connection and support. Anchors of Hope and Healing are on the way. Your Neighbor, Tim P.S.

Could it be that the very struggles you've walked through have prepared you to encourage someone else? Hi Neighbor!⁣ Why do bad things happen in life? Some might say, “That's just life.” But I believe there's a deeper meaning behind that question, something worth pausing to reflect on. In this episode, let's reframe that narrative together.

But I think even adults, even adults who haven't been through trauma can tell you that it's sometimes difficult to talk about our feelings. I think that is the beauty of music therapy. Because clients can come. They don't necessarily need to say exactly what they want to explore. We can just explore in music. Hi Neighbor, Did you know that music can be a powerful tool for healing in the lives of adopted children navigating trauma? Today, I'm excited to welcome back my neighbor from London, Crystal Luk-Worrall. Crystal is a music therapist, EMDR practitioner, and clinical supervisor who specializes in helping children and families heal from early trauma. In Episode 180, Crystal introduced us to EMDR therapy—a powerful approach for adoptive parents supporting kids through trauma. In this episode, she shares her personal journey—from aspiring concert pianist to discovering her true calling as a music therapist. Crystal explains how music opens up new pathways for communication and healing. Music allows kids to express what words often can't. In therapy, it becomes a bridge—not just between sounds, but to feelings that may be too big or complex to name. As parents, we can help our children explore their emotions rather than suppress them. Grab a pen and paper—Crystal has some simple, practical ways you can start incorporating music therapy at home. Anchors of Hope and Healing are on the way. Your Neighbor, Tim P.S. You're not alone in this journey. If you haven't joined our private community, consider this an invitation.

Since the earliest days of the Church, followers of Jesus have been shaped by the word. Scripture is more than a historical record—it is a living encounter, where God's active presence speaks through written words to ground, challenge, and transform us.In this series, we'll deepen our commitment to reading, studying, meditating on, and surrendering to the Scriptures as we explore essential texts for our discipleship to Jesus. Together, we'll discover how God's word tethers us to life with Him—anchoring us in truth—while also drawing us forward into deeper intimacy and maturity in Christ.

Sometimes, life has a way of knocking the wind out of us, suddenly and without warning. Hi Neighbor, How do you navigate those unexpected changes or losses that shake your world? Over time, I've learned to find steady ground through simple practices, prayer, journaling, or even a quiet walk outside. In the midst of grief, these anchors have become pockets of peace. I've also come to lean on the people in my life, my anchors. Friends who listen, support, and encourage me when life is difficult. In today's episode, I reflect on the sudden loss of a dear friend, Shannon, one of those anchors who passed away without warning. His life reminds me of the kind of steady, hopeful presence, and anchor we all need. Anchors of hope and healing are on the way. Your Neighbor, Tim P.S My thoughts and prayers are with Shannon's wife, Dana, and the entire family. Though there will be tears, sorrow, and pain now, Shannon knew that one day God will wipe away every tear. You're not alone in this journey.
