In today's conversation, we're unpacking a pattern that looks disciplined on the surface but quietly fuels relapse, cravings, and the binge-restrict cycle.

Many people jump straight behind the mic, but taking just a few minutes to prepare your voice can dramatically improve your sound, clarity, and confidence.Leighanne explains how warming up helps protect your vocal cords, improve vocal control, and reduce microphone nerves, allowing you to sound more polished and professional in your recordings.You'll also learn several simple warm-up exercises you can do anywhere before recording, including breathing techniques to activate your diaphragm, lip trills to release vocal tension, gentle humming to warm your vocal cords, and reading aloud to improve articulation and clarity.To make things practical, Leighanne guides listeners through a quick mini warm-up exercise during the episode so you can immediately feel the difference in your voice.If you want a structured routine to follow before every recording session, Leighanne also introduces her Voiceover Confidence Starter Kit, which includes guided audio warm-ups, scripts, affirmations, and practical exercises designed to help voiceover artists feel confident, clear, and professional behind the mic.This episode is perfect for aspiring voiceover artists, content creators, and anyone who records their voice and wants to sound more confident and polished.Tune in, warm up your voice, and start showing up behind the mic with greater confidence.If you'd like, Leighanne, I can also create SEO-optimised podcast titles and keywords so more voiceover beginners discover this episode.

Wat gebeurt er wanneer nieuwsgierigheid het kompas wordt van een kunstenaarspraktijk?In deze aflevering ga ik in gesprek met de Nederlandse fotograaf Bastiaan Woudt. Een maker die zijn eerste camera kocht na de geboorte van zijn zoon, en sindsdien een heel eigen universum heeft opgebouwd rond fotografie, kunst en ondernemerschap.We spreken elkaar in zijn studio in Alkmaar. Een plek waar zijn kenmerkende zwart-witportretten ontstaan, maar waar ook nieuwe experimenten vorm krijgen.In ons gesprek hebben we het over:• hoe een autodidact fotograaf internationaal doorbreekt• waarom nieuwsgierigheid misschien wel de belangrijkste eigenschap van een kunstenaar is• hoe technologie en AI een nieuwe laag kunnen toevoegen aan een fotografische praktijk• waarom ondernemerschap en kunstenaarschap volgens hem onlosmakelijk verbonden zijn• en hoe hij een maand lang de 88 tempels van de Shikoku-pelgrimsroute in Japan fotografeerde voor zijn nieuwe project HenroWat mij vooral opviel: Bastiaan beweegt voortdurend tussen disciplines. Fotografie, boeken, podcasts, AI, reizen, uitgeverij. Niet vanuit een strak plan, maar vanuit nieuwsgierigheid.En net daar zit voor mij de kracht van dit gesprek.Creatief werk ontstaat niet altijd uit zekerheid.Heel vaak groeit het juist in de fase waarin je nog aan het aftasten bent wat het precies wil worden.Volg Bastiaan op zijn site. En dit is de plek van zijn uitgeverij. Werk je als fotograaf en voel je dat je volgende stap scherper mag?Via mijn 1-op-1 mentoring traject werk ik zes maanden intensief met fotografen aan hun praktijk. Van portfolio en positionering tot strategie, tentoonstellingen en ondernemerschap. Alle info vind je hier.En ben je op zoek naar inspiratie? Volg dan mijn gratis webinar waarin ik de 5 patronen blootleg die succesvolle fotografen consistent toepassen om telkens te kunnen groeien. Schrijf je hier in.

Messy Family Podcast : Catholic conversations on marriage and family
"Without a life of prayer, you are really not living as a Catholic" - Matt Leonard Summary What does it really mean to "go deeper" in prayer? And what if you pray every day but don't feel anything? This week we're joined by Matthew Leonard, founder of The Science of Sainthood, to talk about what real spiritual growth looks like. We break down the three modes of prayer, vocal, meditation, and contemplation, and how they form a path to holiness. Matthew shares practical steps for building a daily habit of mental prayer, handling distractions, and creating space for silence. We also talk about how married couples can grow spiritually together without pressure or guilt. If you've ever wondered whether you're making progress in your prayer life, this conversation will give you clarity, encouragement, and a clear next step. Key Takeaways Prayer is essential, not optional. Without prayer, we're not really living the fullness of Catholic life. A relationship with the Lord isn't an add-on. It's fundamental. There's a path to deeper prayer. Vocal prayer, meditation, and contemplation build on each other. Vocal prayer engages body and soul. Meditation is daily mental prayer and real conversation with God. Contemplation is a gift from God that we prepare for through faithfulness. "Feeling nothing" doesn't mean nothing is happening. Distractions are normal. Lack of emotion isn't failure. Stay faithful, show up, and trust that God is at work beneath the surface. Consistency creates growth. Commit to a time and place. Embrace silence. Use Scripture or spiritual reading to focus. Act on inspirations. Over time, deeper prayer opens you to greater grace. Couple Discussion Questions How can we support each other as we grow in our prayer life? What does our personal prayer life actually look like right now, and where do we each feel invited to go deeper? Resources https://www.scienceofsainthood.com/
Your Day Off @Hairdustry; A Podcast about the Hair Industry!
Episode SummaryCorey Hairdustry is joined by co-host Katie May for a conversation with Ajahn Tri Dao, a Buddhist monk and spiritual counselor. Inspired by the Walk for Peace, they explore the shift from “world peace” as an idea to internal peace as a daily responsibility—and why that change matters in a loud, fast, overstimulated world.What You'll Learn• Why Buddhism can be understood as both a religion (protected by law) and a philosophy/practice (tested in real life)• The Walk for Peace's core message: inner peace creates the conditions for world peace• A clear definition of “suffering” (dukkha): the uneasiness that comes from resisting reality, clinging, and trying to control what you can't• How coping behaviors often show up when people can't sit with pain (and why slowing down changes everything)• Why America's pace (work, stress, constant stimulation) fuels emotional reactivity and disconnection• The Middle Way: not grinding yourself into burnout, and not numbing yourself into stagnation• How to start building awareness without making it complicated: journal first• A practical journaling framework: track sleep, mood, triggers, and reactions to expose patterns you've normalized• Beginner-friendly meditation advice: start guided with music, then build toward silence and breath-focused practice• Breath techniques shared: counting breaths, noticing temperature, and training the mind to do one thing at a time• What progress looks like: it's not “no thoughts,” it's responding differently when life pokes you• The takeaway: “Stop. Reflect. Write. Breathe.” and finish what you started.Key Quote-Level Takeaway“Peace is free from disturbing emotions—and you can train for it.”If you want, tell me: do you want the IG caption to feel more spiritual/soft, or more hard-hitting/straight talk?

Burnout doesn't always show up as a dramatic crash. Sometimes it's slow erosion: late nights, weak boundaries, snapping at people, losing hobbies, and waking up feeling like life is a chore. In this episode of Adulting With Autism, we talk with Loren Silverman, a former digital transformation leader turned coach and creator of Life Reboot: Nerd Edition—a 90-day coaching experience designed for nerds, geeks, tech professionals, and high performers who want clarity, better boundaries, and sustainable follow-through. Loren shares how a pivotal experience in 2022—supporting Ukrainian refugees in Poland after the invasion—helped him realize what mattered most: moving people forward. We break down his gamified coaching framework (think D&D stats, quests, XP, rerolls, and boss battles) and why consistency—not perfection—is what creates real change. In this episode, we cover: Early warning signs of burnout in tech and high-demand careers Why burnout is "insidious" and how boundaries erode over time What "align your actions with your values" actually means (and how to find your values) Beginner-friendly boundary script: "Let me think about that for a minute." How to tolerate the guilt/discomfort of saying no and protecting your energy Breaking overwhelming tasks into micro-steps (SMART stories / project management thinking) All-or-nothing thinking and how to practice "good enough" without quitting Tracking progress without turning it into another self-criticism tool (rerolls + XP) Building support through "co-op challenges" and safe accountability Connect with Loren Silverman: Website / strategy call: https://silverman.coach Ask about: Life Reboot: Nerd Edition community, weekly mastermind, and "Lantern Fall Thursdays"

Welcome to Episode 276 of the Beginner Guitar Academy Podcast! This week, Paul Andrews kicks off a brand-new theme for March: Improvisation Month. Designed for guitarists at all levels, this month focuses on helping you improvise with intention, rather than just “noodling” around without direction.What's Inside This EpisodeNew Theme for March: Improvisation MonthEach week, you'll get a step-by-step blueprint for improving your improvisation skills, whether you're a total beginner or already experimenting with improvising.This Week's Focus: Control and Stopping the NoodlingPaul Andrews explains why improvisation isn't just about learning more scales or licks; it's about developing control—timing, note choice, phrasing, space, and articulation.The difference between mindless noodling and intentional, musical improvisation.The Power of ConstraintsLimiting yourself to just three notes may feel backward, but it actually forces you to think creatively.Constraints help you improve rhythm, tone, phrasing, and dynamics while making every note count.Weekly ChallengePick any scale you know and select just three notes from it.Improvise over a backing track using only these notes, focusing on rhythm, phrasing, and dynamics.Beginners should focus on creating a melody and playing with rhythm.More advanced players can add lead guitar techniques, but still stick to the three-note limit for maximum creative growth.Additional Resources in the AcademyEach week, members of the Beginner Guitar Academy community get a dedicated challenge, coaching, and Q&A support.Consider joining for extra resources and personalized feedback.Quick LinksSign up for a 2-week trial of Beginner Guitar Academy for just $1!Check out the Academy Show for the latest news and member shoutoutsBrowse past episodes and show notes at www.bgapodcast.comNext UpWeek 2: Musical AwarenessWeek 3: Rhythm & PhrasingWeek 4: ExpressionTakeawayReady to break the cycle of aimless noodling?

The critical qualities your horse needs before riding—beyond just standing still. Most horses become stiff and clunky because their bodies are tense and guarded — but what if the key to softness is more in the mind than the body? In this eye-opening episode, Mark and Jenny reveal how a horse's mind shapes its body—and how you can influence both through simple, mindful groundwork, revealing how a horse's mindset directly influences its movement and softness. Discover how a seemingly stiff Brumby transformed from guarded to more graceful through gentle education and trust. Mark shares real-world examples of horses that change in body shape just by shifting their mental state — no magic, just understanding. We break down the critical link between mind and body, explaining why body work alone can't fix stiffness if the horse's mindset remains guarded or stressed. We also cover the critical skills a horse needs before it's truly safe for a beginner—showing that readiness isn't just about standing quietly or picking up feet, but about confidence, trust, and curiosity. Understanding when a horse is “shut down” versus physically injured can save you from costly mistakes. Train your horse successfully using Mark's detailed training videos: find out more
In this episode of the Travel Coach Network podcast, Sahara Rose DeVore interviews Rosanna Diogini.Rosanna Diogini is a travel coach and the founder of Time and Tide Studio.Rosanna Diogini stepped away from corporate life to buy and run a bar on a small Greek island, despite having no hospitality experience, no local network, and little more than a willingness to trust herself. What began as a radical life change became a practical education in branding, clarity, and decision-making under uncertainty. Through late nights, early swims, and the lived reality of running a seasonal business, she learned that authentic positioning is shaped by experience rather than templates, and that consistency is built within constant change. Now, working with creatives and founders through retreats and advisory work, Rosanna helps others move their businesses forward in ways that feel aligned, sustainable, and distinctly their own.

She cares for around a dozen hives in a rural Appalachian highland climate. Colonies are managed for bee health with active selection for vigor, genetic diversity and disease resistance, but without chemical treatments for fifteen years. The apiary is self-sustaining (not needing to buy/catch replacement bees since 2010) and produces honey and nucs most every year.
Episode OverviewIn this episode of The Articulate Fly, host Marvin Cash sits down with Master Casting Instructor Mac Brown for another installment of Casting Angles — a wide-ranging conversation on the philosophy of continuous improvement in fly fishing and fly casting. Recorded just before the Lancaster Fly Fishing Show, the episode centers on one of the most practical yet underappreciated principles in skill development: approaching your craft with a beginner's mind, no matter how many years you've been on the water. Mac draws on feedback from students at recent west coast events — including anglers with 30 to 40 years of experience who received their first structured casting instruction — to illustrate how long-held assumptions can silently ceiling growth. The conversation touches on Mac's "four stages of learning" framework, the infinite circle of knowledge and the parallels between fly casting mastery and elite performance in any discipline. Practical spring fishing news also surfaces in the second half: listeners get actionable intel on early-season Quill Gordon dry fly hatches on wild Appalachian freestone streams, the ideal nymph sizing window as hatches begin (sizes 12–16) and emerging activity of little black stones and blue winged olives on Tennessee tailwaters. Mac and Marvin also preview their respective Lancaster show appearances and detail upcoming guide schools and casting classes at macbrownflyfish.com for anglers planning their spring season.Key TakeawaysHow adopting a beginner's mindset — staying open to new information regardless of experience level — is the single most reliable driver of improvement in fly casting and fishing.Why intermediate anglers stagnate: the false belief that years of time on the water equates to skill development, which shuts down active learning before it can happen.How Mac's four stages of learning framework maps the path from novice to expert, and why most anglers get stuck at stage two.When Quill Gordon dry fly hatches arrive on wild Appalachian freestone streams, they represent one of the season's best dry fly windows because the adult floats for 15–20 minutes while hardening its wings.Why early-season nymphs (sizes 12–14) are as large as they'll be all year, making this the optimal window to fish bigger nymph patterns before successive hatches progressively reduce insect size.How structured instruction — rather than YouTube, books or show demos alone — accelerates skill acquisition in ways self-directed learning rarely can.Techniques & Gear CoveredThe episode is primarily instructional and conceptual rather than gear-heavy, but several practical fishing frameworks emerge. Mac references his own book Casting Angles — a fly casting handbook endorsed by the ACA and FFI — as the source material for the four stages of learning discussion, and directs listeners to the article on his website for a deeper read. The conversation touches on the comparative limitations of self-directed learning via YouTube and books versus structured in-person instruction, particularly for developing proper casting mechanics. On the dry fly fishing side, Mac recommends dry fly presentations targeting Quill Gordons on freestone streams in size 12, with the extended float window (15–20 minutes) making these hatches unusually productive for surface takes. Marvin notes that pairing size 14 and 16 nymphs during this same early-season window takes advantage of the year's largest nymph profiles before they diminish through the season. Mac also promotes two-day casting schools through macbrownflyfish.com as the highest-value instructional investment for anglers who want to advance their skills heading into spring.Locations & SpeciesThe episode references wild freestone streams in the Western North Carolina / Great Smoky Mountains region — Mac's home water around Bryson City — as the primary context for the early Quill Gordon hatch discussion, with these streams producing active trout as water temperatures begin to rise. Tennessee tailwaters are also noted as waters where little black stoneflies and blue winged olives are already appearing, signaling the beginning of productive surface-feeding windows. The target species throughout is wild trout, with Mac's commentary on Quill Gordon hatches specifically framed around waking large fish that have been dormant through winter. The seasonal framing is early spring, a transition period characterized by warming daytime temperatures, emerging hatches and increasingly active trout — one of the most productive dry fly windows of the year in the Southern Appalachians.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredHow does a beginner's mindset improve fly casting and fishing skills?Beginners enter instruction with no preconceptions to dismantle, which makes them highly receptive to new technique and feedback. Mac argues that anglers who believe they are already proficient — after years of fishing without formal instruction — unknowingly stop absorbing new information, effectively stalling their development at the intermediate stage.What are the four stages of learning in fly casting?Mac's framework progresses from stage one (open absorption of fundamentals) through stage two (recognizing a problem exists but not knowing how to fix it — where most intermediate anglers stall) to stages three and four, where skills become internalized and self-correcting. He recommends reading the full article on his website for a detailed breakdown of each stage.When is the Quill Gordon hatch and why is it such a good dry fly opportunity?The Quill Gordon is an early-season mayfly that emerges on wild Appalachian freestone streams, typically before most other major hatches of the year. The adults float on the surface for 15–20 minutes while hardening their wings — an unusually long window that gives trout ample time to key on them and gives anglers sustained dry fly fishing action. Size 12 patterns are appropriate at peak emergence.Why should anglers fish larger nymph patterns in early spring?Nymph size follows a seasonal arc: early in the year, aquatic insects are at or near maximum size before the first hatches reduce their populations and successive generations emerge progressively smaller. Sizes 14 and 16 are particularly effective in this early window, as they match the naturals more accurately than the smaller patterns that will dominate later in the season.What does Mac Brown recommend for anglers who want to improve most efficiently?Mac consistently points to in-person structured instruction — particularly his two-day casting school — as the highest-leverage investment for improvement. He contrasts this with YouTube and book-based learning, which lack the real-time feedback loop required to correct ingrained errors and build proper mechanics into muscle memory.Related ContentS7, Ep 16 - Simplifying Complexity: Effective Teaching Strategies in Fly Fishing with Mac BrownS7, Ep 20 - Practice Makes Perfect: Mac Brown on Mastering Casting TechniquesS7, Ep 28 - Warming Waters and Active Fish: A Spring Fishing Update with Mac BrownS6, Ep 10 - Casting Angles with Mac BrownS6, Ep 141 - Mastering Cold Weather Fly Fishing with Mac BrownConnect with Our GuestFollow Mac on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.Follow the ShowFollow The Articulate Fly on Facebook, Instagram,

Imagine growing up in a world where energy was real, spirit was part of the conversation, and healing was something passed down through generations. That was my guest, Barbara Savin's world. In this episode, Barbara shares the powerful influence of her two grandmothers and how they shaped the path she walks today. One was a natural healer. The other lived a life of service. Between the two of them, Barbara absorbed something rare – a deep knowing that life is more than what you can see. From Brooklyn to Spiritual Awakening Raised in Brooklyn, Barbara's journey from highly sensitive child to certified hypnotherapist and spiritual life coach is layered, human, and surprisingly relatable. She didn't just inherit mystical gifts. She had to wrestle with them. And that's where it gets interesting. Barbara grew up in a time when anything spiritual was dismissed as “woo-woo.” Even with two spiritually attuned grandmothers, the outside world didn't validate what she felt. Her own mother was skeptical and often dismissive of Barbara's intuitive experiences, which created a deep inner conflict. Imagine being a sensitive child who feels everything and senses emotion in a room instantly, and then being told it's not real. That tension stayed with her for years. She often felt caught between two worlds, the practical Brooklyn life around her and the invisible energetic world humming just beneath the surface. It wasn't until her 30s, when her own health challenges brought her to a breaking point, that she stopped resisting what she already knew. Sometimes life nudges you. Sometimes it pushes. Her health crisis became a doorway. Returning to energy healing wasn't just about improving her physical well-being. It required emotional, mental, and spiritual recalibration. She had to come home to herself. By reclaiming her intuitive gifts, she regained her health and stepped into her true purpose. And here's the thing I love about Barbara's story. It's the unfolding of someone finally trusting what had always been there. Healing Amidst Trauma One of the most moving periods of her life came after 9/11. Her husband and son managed to escaped harm that day and the enormous relief and gratitude she felt pushed her into service. When invited to help with first responders she jumped at the chance. She worked in the Salvation Army tent on Staten Island, assisting first responders with their healing. Working with firefighters and others who were deeply traumatized changed her understanding of healing forever. Trauma doesn't just live in the mind. It becomes embedded in the body and ripples through the nervous system. It lingers in the energy field and touches the spirit. You don't just “get over” something like that. Healing trauma, she realized, is a return to safety on every level. Physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual. It requires presence and compassion, and simply can't be rushed. Protect Your Energy Her work during that time cemented what she already sensed as a child. You are more than your physical body, and real healing must include the unseen layers of who you are. That brings us to something we both feel strongly about: protect your energy. Barbara credits her grandmother's teachings about stepping into God's light as foundational. It's a simple but powerful image. You consciously surround yourself with light and set an intention that only love flows in and out. That's a beautiful example of energetic hygiene. Just as you brush your teeth and care for your physical body, you must tend to your energetic well-being. Barbara emphasizes daily practices like meditation, gratitude, and clear boundaries. Her methods are grounded and practical. Part of this is to be discerning about who you spend time with. You can feel the difference between someone who lifts you and someone who drains you. Your body and your energy know. She encourages you to notice who feels expansive and who feels heavy? Maintaining healthy boundaries isn't selfish. It's emotionally intelligent and preserves your vitality. Positivity Secrets When I asked Barbara about her secrets to handling the decades with grace and vibrancy, her answer wasn't complicated. Gratitude and meditation anchor her. Every morning she takes time to reflect on what she's thankful for. Even during seasons of challenge, including her husband's health battles, she returns to presence and appreciation. Gratitude, in her view, isn't a forced positive attitude. Instead, its about alignment and it shifts your energy field. This is how you recalibrate your nervous system. A grateful heart reminds you that life is still offering gifts, even when circumstances feel uncertain. That practice keeps her light strong. Embrace Your Spiritual Path Barbara's journey is ultimately about listening to the inner voice that refuses to go away. The one that whispers when something looks good on paper but feels wrong in your body. The one that nudges you back toward your true path no matter how long you've ignored it. She chose to honor that voice, despite skepticism and convention. And in doing so, she built a life of fulfillment and service. There's something comforting about that. No matter how far you wander, your path is still there. Waiting, patient, and unmoved. Get Barbara's beautiful free meditation called “The Garden of Life,” which guides you through a gentle inner landscape of healing and self-discovery. It's an invitation to reconnect with your own energy and remember that the answers you seek are not outside of you. I love Barbara's message of accepting who you are, trusting your sensitivity, and honoring your intuitive gifts. You can always choose light and gratitude even after trauma. Her life is proof that when you embrace your spiritual nature and treat your energy with respect, you grow and find love, joy, and satisfaction. And if you've ever wondered whether your own intuitive nudges are real, whether that quiet inner knowing deserves your trust, Barbara's story feels like a gentle but clear answer. Yes, it does.

If you've been feeling like the old version of you doesn't fit anymore (but the new version hasn't fully landed yet) this episode is for you.Ash records a powerful riff on identity reconstruction: the messy, stretchy middle that happens when you've outgrown the version of you that worked… the one you secretly miss… the one you keep trying to force yourself back into.This is a conversation about evolution, self-rejection, the nervous system's need for certainty, and why confidence isn't something you “find”... it's something you rebuild through action, curiosity, and willingness to be the scientist of your own life again.TOPICS WE EXPLORE:• What it feels like when you've outgrown an old identity (and why it feels like loss)• The trap of romanticizing the “productive version” of you• Why trying to go backward creates self-rejection (even if it's subconscious)• Identity shifts after children, big life transitions, and major seasons of growth• The “2-year-old vs 1-year-old” metaphor that will change how you see evolution• What happens when you stop having someone else's blueprint to follow• The discomfort of not knowing who you're becoming (and why it's normal)• Why confidence only comes through action... not overthinking• Inactivity as a sneaky form of self-protection (and what it costs)• Beginner mindset, experimentation, and becoming the scientist of your life• The myth that you need the map to move forward• Releasing control as part of becoming who you actually are nowPOINT OF THE EPISODE:You can't be who you used to be…because you aren't her anymore. And the more you try to force yourself back into a previous identity, the more you reject the version of you that's emerging. Identity reconstruction isn't about “fixing” yourself. It's about accepting who you are now, letting evolution be messy, and rebuilding confidence through curiosity, action, and play.MENTIONED:• Ash on the Hot Talks podcast with Danielle Laura: a conversation on over-functioning as a trauma response, control as a nervous syAre you loving it?

Eugene joins me to talk about how artificial intelligence is showing up in optometry and why there's a growing gap between how patients use AI in their daily lives and how most practices are adopting it. We discuss how this shift is changing patient expectations, what it means for the patient journey, and where practices can use AI to improve engagement, communication, and efficiency—without losing the human element of care. We wrap up with a look at where AI in healthcare is headed and how practice owners can use it intentionally to enhance both patient experience and practice operations.
