Day 6 is the synthesis of your entire training, moving your individual power cues into a single, automated reflex called Actio—the unified performance of command. We dive into the science of Myelination and State-Dependent Memory, explaining how layering your Posture, Breath, and Gaze physically hard-wires your brain for effortless calm and focus. Learn how to transition from chaotic input to an unshakeable state in mere seconds, becoming the veteran who maintains formation even when the enemy charges. ALL ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to The Roman Power Code: 7 Days to Inner Authority and Calm. If you've ever felt your energy drain away in a stressful situation, if your hands shake before a presentation, or if you struggle to maintain focus under pressure, this series is for you. We often try to solve problems of confidence and anxiety with our thoughts—we argue with our inner critic, we try to logically reason our way into feeling secure. But the ancient Romans understood a profound truth: Your body is the source of your authority. The Roman Empire was built on more than just discipline; it was built on an embodied presence that they called Gravitas—a personal weight, seriousness, and undeniable importance. This journey is a practical masterclass in self-command. By the end of this series, you won't just feel more confident—you will have a physical, repeatable, and accessible code to embody that confidence whenever you need it. This is day 6 of a 7-day meditation series, The Roman Power Code: 7 Days to Inner Authority and Calm," episodes 3416-3422. YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: Intentional Micro-Posturing Quest: Check your posture, adjust your shoulders, back, relax your jaw, and hold the Gaze of Authority (steady, calm eye contact). This challenge forces you to consciously apply the Roman techniques in low-stakes situations, building the neural pathways for Embodied Power to become automatic. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Day 1:  Dignity Visualization Day 2:  Affirmation: "I command my presence and own my peace." Day 3:  Praetor's Pause Day 4:  Ganesha mudra for overcoming obstacles Day 5:  Seventh Chakra for Interconnectedness Day 6:  Mental Focus Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

How do you stop seeing yourself through eyes filled with someone else's standards — and begin embodying your true beauty, the kind that is born from the body, love, health, and connection with yourself?In this episode, my guest is Peruquois — a singer, author of 11 albums, creator of women's practices, and a true legend in the world of World Music.We talk about how to reclaim your voice, stop living in the “good girl” program, break free from the need for external approval and trends, and once again feel beauty as a flow of life and energy coming from within.

At our Holy Spirit Night, we looked at John 9:1–7 and the story of the blind man who obeyed Jesus' instruction before experiencing his miracle. We talked about how God invites us to partner with Him—taking a step of faith between the promise and the breakthrough.Sent ChurchWeAreSent.church

In this episode of The Piano Pod, I sit down with Elena Riu — pianist, groundbreaking recording artist, educator, and yoga/mindfulness teacher — whose work has reshaped how we think about artistry, embodiment, and the future of piano performance. Elena has long been a force of quiet revolution. Long before conversations about inclusivity and expanded repertoire entered the mainstream, she was commissioning bold new works, centering Latin-American and women composers, and exploring how breath, movement, and somatic awareness can transform the way we play and teach music. This conversation travels across the full spectrum of her artistry — from embodied performance to cultural identity, from the menstrual cycle as a source of creativity to breaking nineteenth-century norms about who pianists should be and what they should play. If you've ever wondered how breath shapes sound, how identity shapes expression, or how artists can create courageously beyond convention, this is a conversation you won't forget.

Awakening requires presence, shadow alchemy, and soul-level re-patterning. Jenna Lee maps a practical path from trauma to transformation: regulate the nervous system, feel what's been repressed, and become “mirror consciousness” for yourself and others. She distinguishes Akashic Records from Akashic Enlightenment — a higher-dimensional “Book of Truth” aimed at ascension work, not biography. Through breath, sensory grounding, forgiveness (especially of self), and embodied action, dormant gifts return: intuition, light language, and co-creative manifestation from neutrality. Her live transmission closes with a guided, chakra-by-chakra attunement to restore confidence, creativity, safety, and connection to Source. The invitation is clear: stop looping old stories and embody your divine blueprint — now. 00:00 Why Presence First: Setting the Field 02:10 Jenna's Catalyst: PTSD, Repressed Memories, Return 05:05 Gifts Re-Activate: Light Language and Energy Awareness 06:40 What Is Presence?

Through Akashic Enlightenment, ascended guidance, and high-frequency attunements, she helps dissolve karmic cycles, realign divine blueprints, and unlock spiritual gifts.

In ancient Roman times, the voice was considered a weapon. A high-pitched or rushed voice signaled panic; a slow, deep, modulated voice signaled confidence and control. The goal wasn't volume, but resonance, achieved through deep abdominal breathing. Modern Science shares the discovery of Vagus Nerve Toning. Deep, slow breathing—especially extending the exhale—and vocalizing at a lower pitch stimulates the Vagus Nerve, directly lowering heart rate and increasing Heart Rate Variability (HRV). This physiological change instantly shifts you into a state of relaxed control. ALL ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to The Roman Power Code: 7 Days to Inner Authority and Calm.

Send us a textYou don't have “insomnia.”You have too much on your mind, too much on your plate, and a healthcare system that treats your sleep like an optional hobby.In this episode of Ending Physician Overwhelm, we're diving into sleep as a radical act of self-preservation for physicians. This is Week 4 of the 10-Week Recharge Challenge, and we're getting honest about why you're not sleeping—and what you can actually do about it.We'll talk about:

While Super Mario was my favorite video game franchise growing up, Zelda replaced it pretty quickly once I discovered Twilight Princess and Wind Waker in the late 2000s. Thiis was followed by about a decade of not having a functioning Nintendo system, but when I bought a Switch I mostly played Breath of the Wild and now mostly Tears of the Kingdom. I'd already written a song about older Zelda games years ago, which I was fortunate to have played on the Dr. Demento show, but every once in a while I'd wonder why I'd spent so much time playing the open world games without writing a song about them. And yet nothing came to mind until Pink Pony Club had been one of the most popular songs in the United States (and probably the world) for a while and it spent a good deal of time running through my head, and then I came up with the basic idea of how the inventory (Link's Load of Stuff) in Tears of the Kingdom seemed too heavy for even the strongest of heroes to carry. It took a while from the moment of inspiration until finishing, but it's here now and I hope you like it. As should be apparent, it's not me on the vocals, but someone I've hired before to anonmously provide vocals for parodies I've written.

Get ready for our next episode of The Piano Pod: The Embodied Pianist with Elena Riu — pianist, groundbreaking recording artist, educator, and yoga/mindfulness teacher.In this powerful conversation, we explore embodied performance, somatics, breath, creativity, cultural identity, and even the menstrual cycle as a source of artistic insight. Elena's work challenges long-held assumptions about what pianists should play, how they should train, and how the body shapes sound.In this episode, Elena and I talk about:✅ Her journey from Venezuela to the UK — and how navigating multiple identities shaped her artistry✅ The creation of Salsa Nueva and the importance of commissioning new works✅ What it means to challenge 19th-century biases about repertoire and artistic identity✅ Her work as an embodied pianist and how somatics, breath, and movement transform playing✅ Collaboration with dancers, visual artists, poets, and composers✅ Why she opens taboo conversations like creativity and the menstrual cycle among biologically female performers

So many times we find ourselves getting stuck in negative and unproductive thought patterns. If we aren't careful or mindful of this, we could easily sink further and further into despair. Mediation can help us reset our minds and recalibrate our day just by taking a few moments to ourselves to watch our breath.

In today's Daily Fix:Nintendo has revealed the first official looks at Zelda and Link in the upcoming live-action The Legend of Zelda movie. Bo Bragason's Zelda outfit appears to be inspired by the character's Breath of the Wild design, while Bengamin Evan Ainsworth's Link is wearing a green tunic, more in line with Link's traditional look in the early Zelda games. In other news, U.S. congressman Ro Khanna is taking aim at Call of Duty for its supposed use of A.I. in Black Ops 7. Khanna's concern seems pointed at the loss of jobs as A.I. takes over some of the low-level tasks humans would normally do. And finally, a fan-made project to keep Concord multiplayer alive has drawn the ire of Sony, who is taking down video content showing off Concord Delta. Although Sony cancelled the game and shuttered its developer after Concord's disasterous launch, a group of fans are reverse-engineering some of the server code to keep the game playable to those who bought it.

Summary This holiday season, your feed will be flooded with "must-have" wellness products — detox kits, powders, trackers, supplements, and miracle solutions promising to fix your stress, your hormones, and your sleep. But do we really need all of this stuff? In this episode, I'm breaking down how wellness has drifted away from its roots and turned into another form of consumerism — selling us insecurity in the name of self-care. I'll share how to spot wellness grifters, what real well-being actually looks like, and the few time-tested practices that still matter: acupuncture, baths, walks, nourishing meals, sleep, friends, hobbies, and joy. If your wellness routine involves 17 products, 5 subscriptions, 2 wearable tech devices, and credit card debt… it's not wellness — it's capitalism. Let's get back to what actually heals. Takeaways We live in a different society than thousands of years ago. The basics of well-being still apply today. Being outside in nature is crucial for health. Community and belonging are essential for well-being. Nourishing meals contribute significantly to health. Restful sleep is a fundamental aspect of well-being. Time spent with friends enhances quality of life. Engaging in hobbies brings joy and fulfillment. Strength training and movement are vital for physical health. Breath work is an important practice for overall wellness.

High-achieving, intuitive leaders don't lack drive—they lack safety to let things be easy. In this episode, Brenda unpacks why ease can feel unsafe in a nervous system wired for hustle, how to recognize fight/flight/freeze/fawn in real time, and simple practices to reconnect with your intuition and spiritual team (guides, angels, ancestors). You'll learn how to retrain your body so ease becomes your baseline—and why that makes you clearer, calmer, and more magnetic in leadership, business, and life.

Daniel 5

This Sunday, we dove into one of the most hope-filled promises in Scripture: God still heals. We looked at what the Bible teaches about divine healing, why it matters for our lives today, and how we can confidently partner with the Holy Spirit to pray for the sick. We also heard incredible stories of healing from people in our own church family.Sent ChurchWeAreSent.church

Most of us have spent the past few days daydreaming about what we would spend $55 million on. Pay off the mortgage, book a holiday, send some off to charity, throw the rest in a term deposit. Three lucky punters each one a share of the jackpot last night - $18.3 million each. Not many of us will have the chance to come across tens of millions in our lives, but most of us will at some point get a large some from inheritance or a bonus or the likes. So what's the smart thing to do when you get a big windfall, before the excitement takes over? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Detective by Matthew Reilly: Matt Reilly is well known for the thrillers he's been writing for many years now, but this one is quite a departure. It's based in the American South and is the story of many women going missing over a period of 150 years, starting back in 1877….and the investigators looking for them all also disappeared. It's set in the nexus of Louisiana and Texas, where a quirky private detective gets the bit between his teeth and is determined to get to the bottom of it, and it has all the hallmarks of the area – wealthy family dynasties, racism, bayous and alligators and high stakes adventure. The Breath of the Gods by Simon Winchester. A remarkable exploration of our atmosphere, and the role played in our lives by wind – which can be both benign and malevolent. It's a fascinating story told through history, literature, science, poetry and engineering – and includes a piece on our own Wahine disaster. Simon Winchester has an ability to make the everyday and apparently mundane, extraordinary. It's a wonderful book. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Supreme Court of Canada has spoken — and it's not the news we hoped for. This week on Driving Law, Kyla and Paul break down the SCC's new decisions in Goldson and related cases on the admissibility of breath-test standards, why the “trust us, we're government” approach undermines fair trials, and what Justice Côté's dissent could mean for future constitutional challenges. And for the Ridiculous Driver of the Week: a man in Hamilton takes “take the bus” a little too literally — stealing a city bus and driving it safely along its route, picking up passengers along the way.

This is the most critical day: Flow State Ignition. You've built four powerful individual tools, and now we are chaining them together into one seamless sequence. By layering the Mudra, Breath, Affirmation, and Chakra focus, you dramatically accelerate the myelination of your focus pathways. This integration process ensures that the shift from fragmented attention to a state of Deep Work becomes an effortless, automatic reflex that you can trigger on demand. This is day 6 of a 7-day meditation series, "Rewiring Your Attention Span for Laser Focus & Deep Work," episodes 3409-3419. YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: The 10-minute Friction Fighter When the craving hits, do not touch the device. Immediately perform The Neural Navigator Breath and assume the Hakini Mudra for 60 seconds. Set a mental or physical timer for 10 minutes. This challenge uses behavioral conditioning to increase your brain's craving tolerance. By intentionally delaying the dopamine hit, you weaken the immediate reward circuit, making high-value, sustained tasks (like Deep Work) feel less effortful and more naturally rewarding over time. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Welcome to Dopamine Detox: Rewiring Your Attention Span for Laser Focus & Deep Work! If you feel like your attention is constantly being held hostage—pulled between notifications, endless tabs, and the relentless urge to scroll—you are not alone. In our hyper-stimulated world, distraction isn't a moral failing; it's a chemical problem. Your brain has been systematically trained by technology to seek out the tiny, instant gratification hits of dopamine that low-value tasks provide. This constant craving leaves you exhausted, scattered, and stuck in the restless loop of the Default Mode Network (DMN), making true, high-quality concentration feel impossible. This week, we are fighting fire with Neuroplasticity. This 7-day series isn't just about trying harder; it's about giving your brain a complete reboot. We will introduce targeted, science-backed meditation tools that strategically decrease your brain's dependence on instant hits and build the myelin sheaths required for Deep Work. By the end of this journey, you will have moved from reacting to distraction to proactively commanding your focus. You will build an unbreakable internal system that allows you to bypass analysis paralysis, overcome the resistance of starting difficult tasks, and enter the elusive Flow State on demand. Get ready to transform your attention span from a liability into your most powerful competitive advantage. Day 1:  Release Fear Visualization Day 2:  Affirmation: "I am present, focused, and my attention is my superpower." Day 3:  Neural Navigator Breath Day 4:  Hakini mudra for focus Day 5:  Third Chakra for Clarity Day 6:  Mental Focus Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

Sean Mason is a North Carolina-based composer and pianist who, after beginning his career in New York, decided to return home to discover a new creative path.

Mason discusses the inspiration behind the new album, and performs live ahead of his concert at Miller Theatre at Columbia University on November 15 at 7:30pm.

As we go through our daily life we have things happen to us and it can be hard to remember that the things that happen to us do not have to define us. What matters most is not what happens to us but how we respond to what happens to us. This meditation aims to help the meditator return to balance.

If the Cross was the price, the Empty Tomb was the proof.Without the Resurrection, we'd have a martyr.With it—we have a Messiah.Picture that tomb.Three days of silence.Soldiers standing guard over a corpse.Religion celebrating its victory.Then—one breath.Light splits the grave.Stone shatters.The Lamb walks out as a Lion.Death itself loses jurisdiction.This is the hinge of human history—where sin met its match and death met its defeat. Jesus didn't just die for sin; He crushed the serpent's head and broke the back of the grave. Everything changes from this moment on. The Cross paid the debt—but the Tomb proved the payment cleared.Our Springboard for Today's Discussion Is:“We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over Him.”— Romans 6:9 (ESV)TeachingWhen Jesus cried, “It is finished,” Hell heard its own death sentence.But when the stone rolled away, Heaven announced its victory anthem.For three days, silence filled the tomb.Soldiers guarded it.Religion mocked it.Darkness celebrated.Then, with one breath, everything changed.Light split the grave.Breath filled His lungs.The Lamb stood as a Lion—and history tilted forever.That same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead now lives in you. (Romans 8:11)That means resurrection power isn't just a story—it's a strategy for daily living.You were never meant to live as a prisoner of yesterday when the stone has already been rolled away.It means your past is not permanent.It means your failures don't get the final word.It means no situation—no sin, no shame, no sickness, no sorrow—is beyond His reach.Personal ResurrectionI know this because I've lived it.My roots were shallow. When triggers came, I fought with words the way my grandfather taught me—to attack, belittle, and win. That pattern cost me everything: my closeness with Christ, my marriage to Michelle, my relationship with my three kids, and the friendships that once anchored me.I was alive on the outside but dead in every way that mattered.But God didn't leave me in that tomb. He met me in the rubble of my pride and said, “Stop. Slow your roll. Don't let Satan get a foothold.”That whisper became the spark of resurrection.The same power that raised Jesus from the dead began raising me—from anger to humility, from control to surrender, from religion to relationship. God resurrected my marriage, rebuilt my family, and restored my purpose.If He can breathe life into what I destroyed, He can resurrect anything in your life too.Living in the Power of the Empty TombResurrection isn't just a past event—it's a present reality.It means you don't fight for victory; you fight from it.It means when guilt whispers, “You'll never change,” the empty tomb answers, “Watch Me.”It means when fear tells you, “You'll never make it,” the risen Christ declares, “I already did.”Stop living like it's Friday when Sunday already happened.The grave is empty—and so is your excuse to stay defeated.Daily ActionAsk yourself today:What tomb have I been guarding?What part of my life have I labeled “too dead for God to move”?Then pray this simple but dangerous prayer:“Lord, roll away the stone.Breathe life into what I've buried.”Practice* Read Romans 8:11 out loud every morning this week.* Write down one “dead place” in your life and invite Jesus to resurrect it.* Share your story—even one piece of it—with someone who needs to hear hope is real.Challenge of the WeekLive like Sunday happened.Speak like Sunday happened.Forgive like Sunday happened.Love like Sunday happened.Because it did.PrayerFather, thank You for the Cross that paid my debt and the Empty Tomb that sealed my freedom.Help me live like resurrection power truly abides in me.Breathe life into every place I've given up on—every broken relationship, every failed dream, every sin that still whispers shame.Let Your victory become my identity.I don't live under a sentence—I live under a sunrise.In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.Remember: The tomb is empty. So is your excuse to stay defeated.Let's Get To Work!

Episode OverviewWhat if your body has been trying to communicate with you, and you've just forgotten how to listen?In this episode, Bryce sits down with Stuart Champion, a performance coach, educator, and founder of Balanced Body Wisdom, to explore the connection between movement, the nervous system, and true embodiment. Stuart shares how years of pain and imbalance became the catalyst for deeper awareness and how he helps others reconnect with their body's natural intelligence.This episode bridges the gap between fitness and feeling, performance and peace, strength and stillness.⸻Time-Stamped Show Notes00:00 – Introduction: The Science of FeelingBryce opens the conversation with the question: What if true strength begins with awareness, not effort?04:45 – Stuart's Story: From Injury to InsightStuart shares how back pain and surgery led him to discover the wisdom of the body and the power of awareness.“Pain isn't punishment, it's information.”11:20 – The Modern DisconnectExploring how many people live from the neck up, disconnected from their body's signals and trapped in survival mode.“The nervous system can't heal in survival mode.”18:50 – Practice One: Current StateHow awareness is the first step toward transformation and why most people are training compensation instead of capacity.“Awareness is the first rep of transformation.”27:10 – Practice Two: Waiting for the Nervous SystemLearning to slow down, create safety, and let the body open naturally instead of forcing adaptation.“Force tells the body what to do. Safety invites it.”36:30 – Practice Three: Equal and OppositesFinding balance through contrast: effort and ease, inhale and exhale, light and dark.“Balance isn't stillness, it's movement in harmony.”44:20 – Practice Four: IntegrationTurning insight into embodiment and understanding why awareness must become action.“Wisdom doesn't live in knowing, it lives in doing.”53:00 – The Art of Play and PresenceHow reconnecting to play restores energy, creativity, and presence.“Play is the purest form of presence.”59:10 – Tools for ReconnectionPractical breathwork, movement, and daily rituals to restore balance and self-awareness.“Breath is the remote control of the nervous system.”1:05:00 – Closing ReflectionsHow Stuart's approach helps people rediscover freedom, stability, and trust in their body's wisdom.⸻Key Takeaways    •    Awareness is the foundation of transformation.    •    You can't out-train a nervous system that doesn't feel safe.    •    True balance exists within contrast: strength and softness, effort and ease.    •    Pain is a signal that you've drifted away from alignment.    •    Breath and play are gateways to restoring natural harmony.⸻Notable Quotes    •    “Stillness is strength in disguise.”    •    “You can't heal if you're stuck in fight or flight.”    •    “Your body is wiser than your mind if you learn to listen.”    •    “Integration is the art of living your lessons.”    •    “Healing isn't about doing more, it's about doing what matters with awareness.”⸻Call to ActionIf this episode inspired you, subscribe to the ALLSMITH Podcast, leave a 5-star review, and share it with someone who's ready to come home to their body.Follow Stuart Champion:Website: wThank you for Listening!

THE SEASONS IN A BREATHAutumn appeared at the window and looked around— it was November."The leaves are yellow and red.The swallows fly away in flocks over the rooftops.The crisp air smells of roasted chestnuts and burning wood.I like it this way,"Autumn exclaimed.Winter opened the door and looked around— it was January."The snow and the freezing wind.In the woods, mistletoe on branches beneath a blanket of ice.The marmot sleeps in her covered den, dreaming of the stars.How lovely it is to be warm and cozy!"Winter exclaimed.Spring stepped out onto the terrace and looked around— it was April."The flowers bloom and the birds chirp, returning to their nests.With the mild temperature, joyful life vibrates in the air.How wonderful!"Spring exclaimed.Summer went into the garden and looked around— it was July.A cat rests in the shade of a pine tree.The air smells of cut grass and ripe fruit.The butterflies dance carefree to the song of the cicadas.The sun makes me smile!"Summer exclaimed.The months pass and the year spins at great speed,but they will always bring something beautiful.

Dychovka music is a traditional genre that has been played for centuries throughout Slovakia. In this episode, we explore the variety of styles of dychovka through through the Na Plny Dych festival in Moravske Lieskove. There, members of the band Drietomanka (a regional favorite with a rich history) talk about the origins of Slovak dychovka and show how dynamic modern dychovka can be. As well, we speak with scholar Benjamin Graf from the University of North Texas about the university's dychovka program and about their newly formed dychovka band. Mr. Graf also talks about meeting Czech dychovka musicians who showed him the musical connections between Czechia, Slovakia, and Texas.

For Mark Whitwell, music was always a temple. In the jazz clubs of New York such as Village Vanguard, Blue Note, and Sweet Basil, he felt the power of true presence. In this conversation, Mark is joined by Tony Glausi, a trumpet player and composer who carries the living jazz tradition with profound originality. Over the course of a month practicing together in Bali, a friendship formed through daily Yoga, shared breath, and an unshakable love for music. Tony opens up about the journey that brought him here. From his roots in a large Mormon family to years of exploring Buddhism, psychedelics, and the creative highs and lows of the music industry, he shares how Yoga has become his ground. Mark and Tony speak candidly about sobriety, the myth of the tortured artist, and what it means to truly merge with the music. Tony Glausi is a New York-based musician devoted to the jazz tradition. Through trumpet, piano, and composition, he explores the meeting point of Yoga and sound for the real life of every person. His most recent album, Awaken, came from a time of injury, reflection, and a deep return to what matters most.  Key Takeaways Yoga of Breath and Sound – Music and Yoga meet in the breath, in the steady exhale, and in the felt experience of being fully alive. Sobriety and Clarity – Letting go of substances isn't a loss. It is the return to real perception and sustainable joy. From Dogma to Direct Experience – Yoga isn't a belief system. It's how we are with what is. Horizontal Intimacy as the Foundation for Art – Real artistry comes through being fully with the life around us. The End of the Tortured Artist – Art does not need to come from suffering. With real Yoga, artists can thrive and create from wholeness. Concerts as Ceremony – Tony envisions a new kind of performance that begins in silence, in practice, in true receptivity.

The weather has always been a critical element of the human experience - deadly during storms and droughts, sustaining when aligned with the harvest schedule, beautiful and frightening, and integrated into the myths and religions of all societies. How did a scientific understanding of the weather come about? Here to guide us on this question is Simon Winchester. Simon's articles and approximately 30 books range in topic from travel writing to politics, geography, biography, and science history. Simon is best known for his books The Professor and the Madman, The Men Who United the States, The Map That Changed the World, The Man Who Loved China, A Crack in the Edge of the World, and Krakatoa, all of which were New York Times bestsellers. In 2006, Simon was made an officer of the Order of the British Empire by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the II. Today we discuss Simon's new book about the weather entitled, The Breath of the Gods, published by HarperCollins.

Summary In this conversation, Dr. Nick Wilson and Leah Wilson discuss the importance of movement for overall health and well-being. They explore how being sedentary is often a symptom of being stuck in survival mode, and how movement can serve as a remedy for this condition. The discussion emphasizes the need for a mindset shift towards viewing movement as a vital and necessary part of life, rather than a chore. They also touch on the significance of breath work, natural light exposure, and the role of simple movements like squats in enhancing physical health. The conversation encourages listeners to take authority over their own health and to integrate movement into their daily routines as a means of reclaiming vitality. Takeaways Exercise resistance is a symptom of survival mode. Creating a movement mindset is crucial for long-term health. Breath work can significantly impact your nervous system. Natural light exposure is vital for well-being. Simple movements like squats are key to longevity. Listening to your body is different from obeying comfort.

Send us a textYou've been told to “just take a deep breath” more times than you can count.Usually by someone who doesn't realize you've been holding your breath since pre-med.This week on Ending Physician Overwhelm, we're talking about something deceptively simple — breathing. Not the kind of “calm down” breath that makes you want to throw a stethoscope, but intentional, physiologic breathing that actually changes your body chemistry.In Week 3 of the 10-Week Recharge Challenge, we're taking a minute (literally, one minute) to breathe — on purpose. Because even when the world doesn't give you space, your breath can.In this episode, we'll explore: 

The power of the wind is something best-selling author Simon Winchester knows a lot about. He's investigated it in a thought-provoking book called The Breath of the Gods: The History and Future of the Wind. 

In honor of my book relaunch, I am sharing this special STRENGTH acrostic episode that I recorded in 2023 around the one-year birthday of my first edition of Depth. You are going to learn so much for Evelyn Sherwood! Have you ever felt the presence of God? Have you ever felt Him close to you? I know for me, I felt the presence of God the most in the middle of my hard seasons: my divorce, the loss of my friend, and my miscarriage. Maybe you can relate. This week on the podcast, I am so excited to have Evelyn Sherwood. She is a friend of mine who sadly has walked through many hardships. One of the things we talk about today is just how much she felt the presence of God in the middle of this hard season. She actually says this amazing quote (I am going to give you a little sneak peek because it is so good). She says, "The sweetness of His presence far surpassed the pain of my suffering." Evelyn has so much wisdom to share with you. So, we are going to be going through the acrostic. Today we look at S which stands for Seek God and Invite Him Into the pain. I am so excited for you to hear the wisdom from Evelyn of how she was able to seek God and invite Him into the middle of her pain.

DEFENDANT: The Hero of Time EVIDENCE: Siren Song Merlot/Syrah blend SCENE OF THE CRIME: Hyrule -- Hey friend — pop a cork and get comfy. In this episode of True Crime Against Wine we pivoted (blame the internet and a mis-shipped bottle) and ended up sipping a lush Merlot-Syrah blend from Siren Song while getting delightfully nerdy about The Legend of Zelda. Expect giggles, throwback gaming stories, and super honest wine notes — think plush blackberries, juicy plum, and a grown-up juice-box vibe that's dangerously drinkable. We dive into Zelda's origins (shoutout to Miyamoto and Tezuka), reminisce about Ocarina of Time demos at the mall, and debate favorite entries like Wind Waker and Breath of the Wild. There's talk about iconic villains (Ganon, of course), the weirdly existential Link's Awakening plot, cult-fave enemies (stalfos!), and why Link's silent-hero design is pure genius for player immersion. Also: a brief side-eye at 900-number culture, a few messy sibling stories, and absolutely too many sips of wine. If you're into cozy chats about wine, gaming lore, and dumb personal anecdotes, this one's for you. Cheers — it's dangerous to go alone, so bring a friend (and maybe another bottle).

Send us a textEpisode OverviewIn this episode of The Own It Show, Justin Roethlingshoefer challenges the popular “Start With Why” playbook. For business, it can inspire; for transformation (health, identity, spiritual life), it often fails—because purpose without identity is precarious. Justin lays out a paradoxically simple flip: Start With WHO. When you know who you are in Christ, your WHAT (daily practices) flows naturally, God supplies the HOW (people, methods, rhythms), and the WHY emerges as fruit—not as pressure. He unpacks identity-driven health, breath as a bridge between body and spirit, and how “going slow” creates depth that compounds into durable change.Episode Highlights- What “Why-First” Misses: It fuels performance-driven faith and burnout when outcomes wobble. - Purpose without identity cracks under pressure.- The Identity-First Model: WHO → WHAT → HOW → WHY- WHO: Receive identity (beloved, chosen; specific calling like “leader of leaders” or “generational shifter”). You don't earn it—you receive it.- WHAT: Practices flow from identity (sleep/wake rhythms, fueling, movement, stewardship habits).- HOW: God reveals methods, mentors, and systems as you walk in obedience.- WHY: Discovered over time as aligned fruit, not forced at the start.- Faith + Physiology: Breathwork as a physiological bridge to presence and listening; cues the nervous system toward calm so obedience becomes natural, not strained.- S.L.O.W. Tie-In: Stillness → Listen → Obedience → Wisdom. Depth first; speed later.Case Examples:- Personal: Justin's “leader of leaders” identity clarifies daily standards and decisions.- Artist: Aligning identity (“humble revivalist”) enabled capacity for larger stages without burnout.Common Traps:- Over-clarity Paralysis: Using “I don't know my why” as procrastination disguised as purpose.- Why-Churn: Chasing new missions without rooting in identity → fatigue, inconsistency.Action Steps- Morning (3 minutes): Breath, then declare 2–3 identity truths (e.g., “I am beloved,” “I am a steward,” “I am a generational shifter”).- One Identity-Aligned Action: Ask, “Given who I am, what's one thing I do today?” Do it.- Obedience Rep: Take one small obedient step daily—then journal evidence of fruit (even subtle).- Weekly Review (10 minutes): Note patterns: Did WHO make WHAT easier? Did any HOW/WHY surface?- Pair With S.L.O.W.: Create 5 minutes of stillness before planning; listen, then act.Key Ideas & Quotes“Purpose without identity is precarious.”“You don't earn your WHO; you receive it.”“Be → Do → Discover Why.”“The slower you go (in depth), the faster He can move.”“Obedience is the hinge between hearing and harvest.”Tools Mentioned- Breathwork to prime presence and recall identity before action.- Identity Journal for daily WHO statements and obedience logs.- S.L.O.W. (Stillness–Listen–Obedience–Wisdom) as the meta-rhythm for discernment.===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

Our wellness is the heartbeat of our lives, the quiet rhythm that keeps us balanced, open, and whole. Yet in the rush of everyday living, we often forget to pause, to breathe, to simply be.

Here, wellness becomes a journey of rediscovery through yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, and soulful connection with nature.In this episode of Speaking of Travel, I'm joined by Kelsey Daniels, Workshop Sales & Partnership Specialist, who helps bring the retreat's transformational teachers and wellness leaders together to create life-changing experiences. Together we explore how this mountain haven inspires renewal, community, and deep inner peace.If your heart is calling for stillness, clarity, or a chance to reconnect with your true self, this conversation will remind you that transformation begins the moment you choose to listen.A beautiful, restorative listen, only on Speaking of Travel.Thanks for listening to Speaking of Travel!

High-achieving, intuitive leaders don't lack drive—they lack clarity they can trust. In this episode, Brenda breaks down the three clarity blocks (energy leaks, the productivity trap, and the unworthiness loop) and gives simple embodied tools to separate other people's energy from your own, stop mistaking motion for progress, and move with confident, aligned action. You'll hear real client stories, a nervous-system reset you can do in minutes, and a gentle nudge to act on what you already know.

Timestamps 00:00 – 01:15 | Welcome + context Brenda frames the episode: clarity doesn't come from pushing— it comes from slowing down, tending your nervous system, and acting on what you already know. 01:16 – 02:35 | What this is not A reality check on “fantasy marketing.” You can be successful even when you're stressed; regulation and energy work help—but action still matters. 02:36 – 04:45 | Action creates clarity Why waiting for perfect energy or zero fear keeps you stuck. The expectation for this episode: listen, then take one aligned action. 04:46 – 05:57 | Invitation: Clarity Workshop (On-Demand) Access the 90-minute training + workbook any time for $25. 05:58 – 10:03 | Clarity Block #1 — The Energy Leak How absorbing others' emotions/opinions quietly derails your decisions. Empathy vs. intuition, and what brain research suggests about sensitivity. Client story: changing offers after every outside opinion. 10:04 – 14:29 | Sovereignty reset (mini-practice) A simple boundary calibration you can do daily: “What's yours is yours; what's mine is mine…” Why your clarity voice is quiet—and how to hear it. 14:30 – 18:03 | Clarity Block #2 — The Productivity Trap Motion ≠ progress. How fight/flight makes busyness feel “safe.” Real examples (dusting the product, endless Canva tweaks) and what to do instead. 18:04 – 22:44 | The Pause that accelerates results A 30–90 second pause before posting, emailing, or reaching out: “Why am I sharing this? What do I want someone to do?” Tie effort to outcomes. 22:45 – 26:31 | Clarity Block #3 — The Unworthiness Loop Waiting for permission/certifications/readiness. Client story: sitting on a program for 18 months. “Readiness is an internal decision.” 26:32 – 27:52 | Micro-integration Breath cue + self-inquiry: “What clarity do I already have that I'm pretending I don't?” 27:53 – 30:05 | Your next right step How action reinforces intuition.

In this episode, we reflect on what it means to cultivate peace–as a fruit that grows from communion with God. The cultivation of peace is not something we control. It comes from learning to rest in God's presence, even amid life's storms. We talk practically about how to tend the soil of our hearts, so that peace can take root and grow into a fruit that becomes a visible witness to others. We also discuss how Jesus, the Prince of Peace, invites us to make room for His presence, allowing His breath to bring healing where fear and sin have disrupted our peace.    Heather's One Thing - Triumph of the Heart is now streaming! Sister Miriam's One Thing - Healed by Love: Contemplation as a Path of Healing according to St. John of the Cross by Daniel Chowning, OCD Michelle's One Thing - Feast: A Men's Devotional for Advent by Paul George    Journal Questions: What places of my heart are filled with anxiety or despair? Where am I seeking to be fixed instead of seeking communion with the Lord? What sins am I justifying that are robbing me of peace? What lies am I trying to talk myself into? Who or what are you trying to fix in your life that you need to surrender to the Lord?   Discussion Questions: How are you trying to control your life and heart rather than cultivating? What things motivate you to operate out of fear or mistrust? How can you internally cultivate peace? How can you externally cultivate peace?   Quote to Ponder: Let nothing disturb you, Let nothing frighten you, All things are passing away: God never changes. Patience obtains all things Whoever has God lacks nothing; God alone suffices. (St. Teresa of Avila)   Scripture for Lectio: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7)  Sponsor - BeeStill Design: BeeStill Design is a handcrafted Catholic jewelry and art brand founded by Louisiana artist and entrepreneur Holly Klock.
