The Sphinx Without a Secret by Oscar Wilde — A Calming Bedtime Story for Sleep & Insomnia | Books at Bedtime A soothing bedtime story to help you drift off tonight: Oscar Wilde's quietly haunting tale The Sphinx Without a Secret, read slowly and gently for sleep, insomnia relief, and unhurried listening. This continues the Books at Bedtime strand — also known as Coffee Break for the Soul — from the Calming Anxiety podcast, a series of classic story readings designed as a calming audiobook for restless or anxious nights. For the full library, plus ambient night-light features for the small hours, download Anchored on iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669 Narrated softly by Martin Hewlett, clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic, this reading follows Lord Murchison, who confides in an old Oxford friend over dinner in Paris about a mysterious widow he has fallen for in London, a woman wrapped in secrecy who insists her letters go to a lending library rather than her own home. A slow, unhurried mystery rather than anything unsettling — ideal as a sleep story or relaxation audiobook for falling asleep, insomnia, and quieting an anxious mind before bed. First published under the title "Lady Alroy" in 1887, and later renamed The Sphinx Without a Secret by Wilde himself when it was collected in Lord Arthur Savile's Crime and Other Stories in 1891, this Oscar Wilde tale is in the public domain worldwide (Wilde died in 1900); this reading is Calming Anxiety's own narration of the classic public-domain text. This episode continues the Books at Bedtime strand, alongside The Selfish Giant and The Happy Prince (also by Oscar Wilde) and classic short fiction from Katherine Mansfield, Kate Chopin, and Arthur Conan Doyle — currently working through The Hound of the Baskervilles — with new instalments added regularly to the main Calming Anxiety feed.

I just turned 52 and sat down to do a full life audit, asking myself one question: what do I know now that I wish I knew at 40? The answer became these 12 non-negotiables — the circle you keep, the content you consume, the friends who've already expired, the comfort that gets more expensive every year you hold onto it, and the healing you keep putting off. In this episode I'm walking you through all 12, so you can stop white-knuckling through life as the reactive, chaotic 1.0 version of yourself and become the 2.0 version: a man who is self-mastered. If you're in your 40s, this is your blueprint. If you're in your 20s or 30s, you've got a head start most men never get. Average is the enemy — let's get after it.42% OFF - Get your Digital Man Up book + Audiobook + 2 Exclusive MASTERCLASSES https://bit.ly/manuptribeOPEN A FIT BODY LOCATIONA High-Profit, Scalable Gym Franchise Opportunity Driven By Impacthttps://bit.ly/bedrosfbb

In today's talk, I share why you should stop trying to predict your day. Plenty of times, you will wake up and you think you're going to have a bad day and surprisingly it's not a bad day. And other times, the opposite will happen. My advice is to quit trying to predict your day and accept your day for what it is. CONQUER SHYNESS

Early adopters convert easily — which is exactly why founders get blindsided when mainstream traffic plateaus.Law 6 is removing every friction point between visitor and buyer so you convert at scale, not just with your fans.About the book:The 7 Laws of Scaling by Jim Huffman is the operating system that separates seven-figure companies from eight-figure ones. Fewer than 5% of businesses ever cross $1M in revenue; less than 0.4% hit $10M. This book maps the seven sequential, compounding laws that decide whether a company scales or stalls — with a diagnostic worksheet in every chapter to pinpoint exactly which law you're breaking first.

The next day, Mary tells Martha that she has seen the secret of Misselthwaite Manor: Colin Craven. Martha freaks out: She thinks she'll lose her job, or that Colin will throw a fit now that a stranger has seen him. Colin behaves toward Martha like some young king or lord or something; Mary compares him to a "Rajah," which is a Sanskrit term for a prince. (We have a slightly more direct way of saying it: He's a spoiled jerk). I hope you have been enjoying these episodes as much as I enjoy bringing them to you. Reviews and shares make a huge difference.

North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell chapter 45 "Not All A Dream" narrated by Isaac BirchallSubscribe on YT or Join the Book Club on KO-FI and support me as an independent creator :D⁠https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfOFfvo05ElM96CmfsGsu3g/join⁠Summary:Mr Bell has some dreams of his past when he first visited Mr. Hale in Helstone, walking through the woods and over babbling brooks. His dream was very life-like and he finds himself struggling to believe where he is and that his friends are gone. Mr. Bell struggles to follow all of Mr Lennox's story, but it seems that more or less, all hope of saving Frederick are lost. When he sees how distraught Margaret is, he decides to stop, and just tells Margaret how much better Fred's life will be in Spain than in England. Margaret, in a minute or to recovers herself and thanks Mr. Lennox. Mr. Bell, after this, says that he is going to go, but suggests to Margaret that they go and visit Helstone together before he has to go back to Oxford. Margaret is overjoyed with this idea, though she knows it will be a challenging visit. He says that they would be back by Friday, and following the conversation, they go upstairs to ask Mrs. Shaw how she would feel about this trip. Mrs. Shaw is unsure at first, but eventually consents to Mr. Bell's proposal. SEO stuff I don't want to do. Elizabeth Gaskell's classic, "North and South" sees Margaret Hale's live uprooted as her family moves to the north of England. Initially disgusted by the ugliness of the industrial town of Milton, Margaret develops a strong sense of social justice after seeing the poverty and suffering of local mill workers.

You can sincerely love your family, feel devoted to God, and care deeply about your community—and still behave in ways that harm all three. The problem may not be what you care about. It may be that those words don't help you choose what to do when life gets messy.In this episode, Justin explores why Family, God, and Community can be meaningful things to love and serve while still being poor operating values. He explains the gap between the values we say guide us and the values our choices reveal, then offers six practical questions for making more aligned decisions.Key Ideas / TakeawaysThe difference between an espoused value and an enacted valueWhy a useful value should help you make a choice when important things competeHow spiritual language can become a way to avoid apologizing, changing, or taking responsibilityWhat a healthy community needs beyond good intentions: honesty, boundaries, communication, and accountabilitySix operating values: Integrity, Joy, Kindness, Communication, Growth, and Responsibility.A four-step practice for rating your behavior instead of your intentions and choosing one aligned actionWhy ListenThis conversation is for anyone who cares deeply about living by their values but suspects their behavior does not always reflect what they say matters.

Marlon and Jake discuss the books they'd banish from school reading lists—not ban but give a well-earned time out. They consider why the Bible shouldn't make the cut, why mythology deserves to expand beyond the Greeks and Romans, and what kinds of books actually resonate with high school readers. Plus: why being a great book doesn't necessarily make something a great book to teach—and whether length should matter.

In this release, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre enters the postconciliar crisis with growing clarity and urgency. Chapter 15 shows him recognizing the deep confusion spreading through the Church after Vatican II: a crisis of authority, doctrine, catechism, religious life, and liturgy. No longer able to rely on official structures alone, he begins encouraging priests, bishops, writers, and lay movements who are trying to preserve the Faith. At the same time, the reform of the Mass accelerates, and Archbishop Lefebvre sees that the battle is no longer theoretical. The Church's doctrine, worship, and priesthood are now directly at stake.

Part Five of Born Wild: Koda's Odyssey, Volume Two begins with the mistake the clans always knew was coming. Summer settles over the forest and brings people with it. More hikers, more campers, more cameras scanning the ridgelines for a postcard moment to carry home.The sasquatch do what they've always done when the world crowds in, pulling back into the heavy timber, moving only in the gray hours, eating less and resting less and watching more.But discipline can only stretch so far, and out in a dense stretch of old growth four miles from the nearest trail, a wildlife photographer named David Reeves is about to point his lens at something no magazine will ever publish.David isn't a weekend tourist. He's patient, serious, and good enough at reading the backcountry to go exactly where he shouldn't. That's the problem. One glimpse, one held breath, and suddenly the secret three years of caution were meant to protect is sitting exposed in the viewfinder of a man who knows what he's looking at.What follows tests everything Koda and the clans have built. A single photograph in the wrong hands could bring the whole outside world down on them, and the choices the sasquatch make in the hours after that encounter carry a weight none of the earlier fights ever did.This is the danger the clans have always feared most, and it doesn't come with claws or howls. It comes with a camera.Email BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Nothing has changed in London since she left. Margaret does not feel at home in London, but she is grateful to her aunt and cousin. Edith is eager to get well so that she can take care of Margaret. When Edith is well and her family start to go on engagements for the London Season, leaving Margaret, ill, at home where she can think about the past. Edith tells her that they will have a dinner party at home as soon as Henry Lennox returns. Her days are very simple; breakfast, meetings to talk about whose homes they are going to visit, letter writing, and looking forward to Dixon's return. Margaret is missing hearing about Milton, and its peoples and Dixon's letters are sadly very business-like. One day, Mr. Bell is announced. Margaret immediately jumps into action to greet him. He says that Henry Lennox was in the train with him, and asks about his person. Margaret says that she used to like him. He then says that he doesn't know what to think of him. Margaret then asks if he has come from Milton. He says that he has, and that Mr. Thornton has proved himself to be a good friend to Margaret. Mr. Thornton is apparently well. Tea is finally prepared, and at the same moment, Mr. Henry Lennox walks through the door, shocking both himself and Margaret. They are both pleased that Mr. Bell is there. After the initial shyness is over, Margaret asks him about Frederick. Margaret tells Mr. Bell about Frederick's situation, easing Mr. Lennox's mind about talking openly about Frederick. Mr. Bell didn't know that Fred had been in the UK and is shocked. He then adds that someone asked him about Frederick not long ago but does not say who and Margaret dares not to ask. Mr. Lennox suggests that the three of them meet the following morning to discuss Frederick's case. Mr Bell and Lennox stay until the Edith, and her husband come home, and then leave together, badly trying to make conversation. Mr. Bell is not too fond of the lawyer.SEO stuff I don't want to do. Elizabeth Gaskell's classic, "North and South" sees Margaret Hale's live uprooted as her family moves to the north of England. Initially disgusted by the ugliness of the industrial town of Milton, Margaret develops a strong sense of social justice after seeing the poverty and suffering of local mill workers.

This episode of 10 Minutes to Less Suffering explores how resisting what is happening in our lives intensifes stress, anxiety, fear, and emotional pain, and how acceptance can help quiet the mind and create space for what comes next. Through a deeply personal story of heartbreak, an unexpected injury, and receiving comfort at exactly the right moment, this episode reveals a powerful lesson: life may still be moving in our favor even when we cannot see it. Listeners will learn how to recognize when resistance is increasing their suffering, slow down during emotionally overwhelming moments, question fear-based thoughts, and use the practice of "Maybe" to become more open to uncertainty and possibility. Acceptance doesn't mean liking what happened or pretending something isn't painful. It means releasing the exhausting belief that life must be different before peace is possible. This episode is for anyone dealing with stress, anxiety, heartbreak, divorce, relationship changes, disappointment, uncertainty, parenting worries, career setbacks, or an unexpected change in life. It offers a gentle reminder that difficult circumstances are not necessarily the end of the story. Life is still moving, possibilities are still unfolding, and sometimes letting go of resistance allows us to see choices, support, and opportunities we could not see before. If life isn't going according to plan, this episode can help you find greater acceptance, emotional resilience, peace of mind, and hope in the unknown. For all you know, Maybe the best is yet to come. Lastly, you can also follow me on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, and LinkedIn. If you are interested in my work, please check out my books, The Gift of Maybe: Finding Hope and Possibility in Uncertain Times (including a new audiobook), A Year Without Men: A 12 Point Guide To Inspire and Empower Women and my new Audiobook,  Maybe Everything Is Okay, A Parent's Guide To Less Stress and Worry.
