Anger feels powerful, but it's usually expensive. In this episode, we break down why rage pulls people in the wrong direction, how “comment anger” and road rage sneak into everyday life, and why staying at baseline is a real skill you can train.We talk about how anger becomes a habit, how it quietly eats away at your focus and relationships, and why trying to reason with irrational behavior often makes things worse instead of better. We also explore equanimity, the idea of staying at baseline, and why real strength isn't about domination or reaction, but about control.If you've ever wanted to throw your phone into the ocean, explode over a small inconvenience, or get pulled into internet arguments, this is a reminder that you always have a choice. You can react, or you can respond.Calm isn't weakness. It's power.Subscribe for more on strength, mindset, and building a sharper life.

When you listen to ASMR Sleep Recordings, you can lock your phone, so you won't get any bothersome stimuli from notifications and other sounds from your phone. You can switch between apps while studying or working without pausing the ambient sound.About our sounds:Water creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to running water is an ideal way to turn off all the stressful things life brings, and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds include a river, flowing creek, babbling brook, gentle waves on a lake, and a bamboo fountain. Rain also creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to rain is an ideal way to switch off all the stressful things life brings and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds are rain on an umbrella, hailstorms, hard rain, soft rain, gentle rain, wind and rain, rain on a car.White noise helps babies and children to get a better and deeper night's sleep. This is because external sounds are masked by the noise. With white noise in the background, your child will not hear annoying cars driving by or dogs barking in bed. This allows your little one to sleep better. And it also saves you as a parent a lot of hours!Pink noise is more common in nature than you might expect. It can be compared to continuous rainfall or wind. In addition to white noise, pink noise is also increasing in popularity, especially in business environments. Because it can increase productivity, concentration and creativity.Brown noise can be compared to waves of the sea, a river current, strong winds or the sound of thunder during a storm. Like pink noise, brown noise is very similar to white noise. However, the frequencies have been lowered even further and a lot more concentrated. This gives it a rougher/coarse tone than pink noise. It sounds a bit deeper and a bit bass-like. The benefits of brown noise are the same as the other types of noise. It provides relaxation, increased focus and improved deep sleep.DISCLAIMER: Be aware that loud noises can damage your hearing. If you can't carry on a conversation without raising your voice while playing one of our spheres, the sound may be too loud for your ears. Do not place the speakers directly next to a baby's ears. If you have trouble hearing or ringing in your ears, stop listening to the white noise immediately and see an audiologist or your doctor.

Join us for an insightful conversation with KJ Blattenbauer, a powerhouse publicist with nearly 30 years of experience helping "underdogs" and bold brands secure the recognition they deserve. In this episode, KJ discusses how effective visibility is not about chasing a viral moment, but about establishing a consistent, recognizable position where the right people understand your expertise. She reveals that many entrepreneurs struggle with a lack of confidence that is actually rooted in confusion over their positioning; once that clarity is achieved, authority and opportunities naturally follow. Discover how to build authority by leveraging your existing proof—such as awards and past results—and accessing "borrowed platforms" like podcasts and guest teaching. KJ emphasizes that women must proactively share their accolades to avoid doing a disservice to those who need their products or services. To help you get started, she shares valuable resources from Hearsay PR including "Headline Your Life" to find your brand story, a "Pitch Kit" for media outreach, and "PR Before Payroll" for building authority without a large budget. For those looking for a modern guide to building lasting authority, keep an eye out for KJ's upcoming book, Pitchworthy, arriving in January 2026.

Through calming breathwork and reflective guidance, you'll explore how acknowledging effort — even when it feels ordinary — creates safety in the nervous system and reinforces your ability to rely on yourself.A grounding practice for anyone learning to replace self-criticism with recognition, and pressure with quiet confidence.

Welcome to a new episode of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. This special episode – part one of two question-and-response (Q&R) installments – commemorates the publication of the second book by Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach Jo Confino, which was published earlier this year. Calm in the Storm: Zen Ways to Cultivate Stability in an Anxious World is intended to help readers meet the current polycrisis with stability and resilience, but also forcefulness and love. According to Plum Village tradition, Jo and Brother Phap Huu recorded two episodes that respond to listeners' questions which connect to the book's themes – from balancing kindness and anger in challenging times to staying compassionate with a world where there’s little deep listening; how to best support young people; caring for oneself while serving others; and much more.

We’re controlling our actions, if we’re mindful. But most of us let our actions control us. We let worry control us; we let the news control us; we let fake news control us; we let stories control us. We let energies that may be untrue control us.” “We have to have the ability to generate joy and to be in touch with simple happiness and, even in moments of bitterness and difficulty, to come back to the present moment and ask the question, ‘What am I grateful for? What things surrounding me can I devote myself to, because I’m grateful for them?'” “Thay always reminded us to take joy and happiness seriously, and, in our modern times, people who come to Buddhism and spirituality, in particular, become allergic to the words ‘happiness' and ‘love' and ‘smiles' because they're not celebrated enough in the world. Because it looks too hippie-dippie. They seem too easy, in a way. But knowing that joy is always accessible is enlightenment, is healing, is love.” “Each and every one of us, when we start the journey of practice, really have to take seriously how to generate joy every day, with no exceptions. Don’t take it for granted.” “Compassion is the foundation for not burning out, for not becoming hateful, for not becoming toxic. It is the foundation of understanding and love.” “When you don’t have enough joy, lean into other people’s joy. You’re not alone.” “The whole purpose of mindfulness is to more deeply understand ourselves, and then to more deeply understand how we relate to the world.” “When you know how to listen, you’re already a teacher in the dharma – not through your spoken words, but through your way of just being. So don’t underestimate the practice of deep listening, because that can open the doors to people’s hearts as well as allowing them to touch healing. Because deep listening allows us to be vulnerable; it allows us to cry the tears that need to be shed to water our fields of pain and our seeds of love, understanding, and kindness. That is all deep listening; meditation is deep listening.” “Wherever there is darkness, light is already there, because the two coexists – and wherever there is light, there is darkness.” “Accept despair and let it deeply touch and tenderize your heart. Because that’s what despair can do. Rather than seeing it as “the end of a journey, see it as something we touch deeply and which can begin a new journey.” “There’s something about taking the longer view and recognizing the great arc of time and not becoming so caught up in this moment, as though it’s the only moment. Recognize that life will continue in many forms, and trust in that.” “We have to use both wings of meditation – stopping and looking deeply – in every crisis that we find ourselves in or find ourselves facing.”

This is a very special Christmas Day episode, a quiet moment just for you, tucked inside the chaos, the noise, the joy and the overwhelm of today. If you're listening to this hiding in the loo for five minutes… stirring gravy… feeding the baby… or sitting in the car for a breather before going back inside — this message is from my heart to yours. Christmas has a way of amplifying everything. The joy, the expectations, the mental load, the pressure to make it all magical. And so many of us arrive at today feeling stretched, emotional, tired, or holding far more than anyone ever sees. This episode is my love letter to you - doing the invisible work, the emotional labour, the holding-it-all-together. A moment to breathe. A moment to be seen. A moment to be reminded of your worth. This is not an episode to learn from or “do” anything with — it's one to feel. A moment to pause, breathe, and let yourself be held for once. Wherever you are today, in the noise, the calm, the joy, the heaviness — I am sending you so much love.

In his Christmas message, King Charles the Third invoked wartime spirit and urged communities to pull together in an increasingly divided world, saying, “With the great diversity of our communities we can find the strength to ensure that right triumphs over wrong.”The address was recorded in Westminster Abbey, marking the second consecutive year the King has delivered his message away from a royal residence. Speaking from the medieval Lady Chapel, he reflected on the 80th anniversaries of VE Day and VJ Day and praised the courage and sacrifice of the wartime generation.The King also highlighted acts of “spontaneous bravery” in recent emergencies, including the Bondi Beach attack in Australia, and spoke of the importance of faith leaders working together, referencing his prayer alongside Pope Leo during a Vatican visit. A Ukrainian choir performed a carol during the broadcast, underscoring the King's continued support for Ukraine.Quoting T. S. Eliot, the King called for calm and reflection as “our world seems to spin ever faster,” with aides suggesting the message alluded to the impact of new technologies and the idea of a digital detox.The broadcast avoided personal matters, including the King's health and his brother Andrew. Instead, it focused on the working royals, with footage of Prince William and Catherine, and images of Prince George visiting a homelessness charity for the first time.The message concluded with a reflection on the Christmas story as one of peace, reconciliation, and compassion, which the King described as “a prayer for our times.”Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Send us a textIf you're listening in real time, Merry Christmas, my dear friends.I'm sending you so much love, safety, and calm this season. This week, I introduce you to a Maester who has profoundly shaped how I think about attention, discipline, peace, and the body: Cal Newport. This is not fluffy productivity advice.This is about unfinished tasks, hidden stress, and how scattered attention quietly drains our energy—and often shows up as urges we don't fully understand.In this episode, I explore why attention isn't just a productivity issue—it's a wellness issue.  We talk about deep work, the modern attention crisis, digital minimalism, and what it means to build a life rooted in presence instead of reaction.  If you've ever ended the day feeling busy but behind,If your mind feels fragmented,If you crave calm, clarity, and follow-through—This episode is for you. Because where your attention lives… your life follows. Quote of the Week “Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least.” — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe CitationsNewport, C.

Send us a textWhat if Christmas is less about a date on the calendar and more about a birth that can happen within you right now?In this Christmas reflection, we explore Christ Consciousness as a lived experience - not a religious performance, but a way of being rooted in presence, compassion, unity, and love. This episode invites a gentle return to what is already whole within you, especially in a season that can feel both meaningful and complex.We connect this message to a wider chorus of wisdom across spiritual traditions - from Buddha Nature in Buddhism, Krishna Consciousness in Hinduism, and remembrance and surrender in Islam, to devekut in Judaism, flow in Taoism, and earth-based traditions of kinship with life. Different languages, same center: nothing sacred is missing from you.We also unpack the often-misread teaching, “the kingdom of heaven is within you,” and bring it into everyday life - how you speak to yourself, how you breathe through tension, and how you choose gentleness when old patterns pull toward self-judgment.Whether this season feels joyful, quiet, heavy, or complicated, you're not alone. This episode offers simple, grounded reflections for embodying love over fear, unity over separation, and compassion over judgment, especially toward yourself.This is not a sermon. It's a reminder.A reminder of how Jesus lived - refusing exclusion, meeting others with love, and seeing worth in all. And an invitation to let presence do the heavy lifting, turning rituals into remembrance and longing into belonging.If this reflection resonates, follow the podcast, share it with someone who may need a gentle word today, and leave a review to help others find their way home.

In this episode, you will hear the rain on the roof. Improve your health and happiness.The sound you hear in this episode creates a calm atmosphere and at the same time blocks out disturbing noises. This will help you de-stress, unwind, and rest. Enjoy two hours of relaxing sounds to help you relax, focus, study and fall asleep.About ASMR Sleep Recordings:The purpose of ASMR Sleep Recording is to help you sleep and concentrate better. This particular episode lasts two hours and has no ads in the middle, so you won't be woken up or disturbed while focusing or relaxing. When you listen to ASMR Sleep Recordings, you can lock your phone, so you won't get any bothersome stimuli from notifications and other sounds from your phone. You can switch between apps while studying or working without pausing the ambient sound.About our sounds:Water creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to running water is an ideal way to turn off all the stressful things life brings, and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds include a river, flowing creek, babbling brook, gentle waves on a lake, and a bamboo fountain. Rain also creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to rain is an ideal way to switch off all the stressful things life brings and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds are rain on an umbrella, hailstorms, hard rain, soft rain, gentle rain, wind and rain, rain on a car.White noise helps babies and children to get a better and deeper night's sleep. This is because external sounds are masked by the noise. With white noise in the background, your child will not hear annoying cars driving by or dogs barking in bed. This allows your little one to sleep better. And it also saves you as a parent a lot of hours!Pink noise is more common in nature than you might expect. It can be compared to continuous rainfall or wind. In addition to white noise, pink noise is also increasing in popularity, especially in business environments. Because it can increase productivity, concentration and creativity.Brown noise can be compared to waves of the sea, a river current, strong winds or the sound of thunder during a storm. Like pink noise, brown noise is very similar to white noise. However, the frequencies have been lowered even further and a lot more concentrated. This gives it a rougher/coarse tone than pink noise. It sounds a bit deeper and a bit bass-like. The benefits of brown noise are the same as the other types of noise. It provides relaxation, increased focus and improved deep sleep.DISCLAIMER: Be aware that loud noises can damage your hearing. If you can't carry on a conversation without raising your voice while playing one of our spheres, the sound may be too loud for your ears. Do not place the speakers directly next to a baby's ears. If you have trouble hearing or ringing in your ears, stop listening to the white noise immediately and see an audiologist or your doctor. The sounds provided by ASMR Sleep Recordings are for entertainment purposes only and are not a treatment for sleep disorders or tinnitus.

Katie sits down with Jamie Anderson in New York City at the Team USA 100 Days Out Media Summit for a wide-ranging conversation ahead of the Winter Olympics. Jamie reflects on her journey as the most decorated snowboarder in Olympic history, what inspired her comeback after becoming a mom of two, and how watching the Paris Olympics and Simone Biles reignited something she thought might be done. She opens up about balancing motherhood and elite competition, traveling internationally with young kids, redefining identity after years at the top, and following what lights her heart on fire rather than chasing expectations. Calm, honest, and deeply reflective, this episode offers a different perspective on longevity, purpose, and doing sport on your own terms.-----Subscribe to the show on your favorite podcast platform, and follow us on social media (https://linktr.ee/unfilteredwaters) for clips, bonus content, and updates throughout the week.-----FOLLOW KATIE ON:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kthoff7/-----FOLLOW MISSY ON:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/missyfranklin88/-----SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSIM8health.com/discount/unfiltered for 10% offdreamrecovery.io use code UNFILTEREDTHIRTY for 30% off-----#UnfilteredWaters #SportsPodcast #JamieAnderson

The holidays don't magically create more time — but they do give us an opportunity to choose how we spend our energy. In this episode, Cheri Flake shares practical, compassionate ways to reduce holiday stress by setting boundaries, saying no without guilt, and intentionally choosing joy. Drawing from her 25+ years as a psychotherapist, Cheri explores why over-scheduling leads to burnout, how mindfulness can transform even the most dreaded holiday tasks, and why presence — not perfection — is the real gift of the season. This episode also includes a guided loving-kindness meditation to help you reconnect with peace, abundance, and love during a busy time of year. ✨ In this episode, you'll learn:How to decide what to say yes and no to during the holidaysWhy complaining increases stress — and what to do insteadSimple mindfulness practices for shopping, gifting, and family gatheringsCreative, thoughtful gift-giving ideas (even if it's not your love language)How being present can reduce anxiety, irritability, and overwhelmA short, heart-centered meditation to reset your nervous system

Send us a textFor your Free Masterclass Gift - Click HereWhy do intelligent, self-aware people still feel stuck - even when they're motivated, capable, and trying hard to change?In this episode, Dr Amen Kaur explores the science -  why “starting over” often backfires - and why real change isn't a motivation or planning problem, but a nervous system and safety problem.Using neuroscience, psychology, and lived experience, we break down how the brain responds to uncertainty. When the future feels unclear, the brain doesn't default to wisdom or creativity - it defaults to prediction and threat reduction. This is why overthinking, overplanning, and constant problem-solving can actually increase stuckness instead of resolving it.We unpack key scientific concepts including:Intolerance of uncertainty and how it drives anxiety, hesitation, and avoidanceThreat perception (amygdala activation) and why change can feel dangerous even when it's logicalRumination loops and why repetitive thinking narrows perception and optionsReward prediction and why the brain can underestimate the benefits of changeWhy familiar stress can feel safer than unfamiliar peaceThis episode explains why you can't outthink a conditioned system - and why clarity doesn't come from analysing more, but from restoring safety and regulation.As the system settles, perception widens. When perception widens, new options become visible. And when the body feels safe enough, action stops feeling forced - and starts feeling obvious.This is not a motivational reset or a “new year, new you” conversation. It's a grounded, science-backed explanation of why you were never broken - and how embodiment, not effort, is what brings you back online.If you've been trying to force clarity, restart your life, or plan your way into change - this episode offers a different path: one that meets the mind with logic, and the body with safety.

In this episode of Top Self, Shanenn breaks down a question so many people quietly struggle with—especially this time of year:Why do I feel calm and trusting with my partner sometimes… and anxious, suspicious, or insecure with them at other times—when nothing has actually changed?As the holidays approach and routines shift, old patterns can resurface. Shanenn explains why these emotional swings don't mean you're inconsistent, broken, or ignoring red flags. Instead, they're signals from your nervous system responding to changing conditions—not changing relationship facts.This episode offers a powerful reframe that removes shame, self-blame, and overthinking—and replaces them with clarity, self-trust, and nervous-system awareness so you can stop turning emotions into verdicts about your relationship.Key Moments:1:45 – Why the holidays can make anxiety spike even in “good” relationships3:50 – The core truth: calm and anxiety come from your nervous system, not your partner6:40 – Why feeling calm doesn't mean you're “healed” or fixed9:00 – What's really happening when you start scanning, spiraling, or overthinking11:30 – Why emotions are signals of state—not proof of truth13:45 – The shift that helps anxiety soften without controlling your environmentGolden Episode Nuggets:

Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck in cycles of yelling and guilt? You're not alone—and there is another way. In this short mini episode, Hunter Clarke-Fields invites you to Mindful Parenting Live, a free, four-day online series happening January 5–8. You'll learn practical, mindfulness-based tools to help you parent with more calm, connection, and confidence—even in the middle of tantrums, defiance, and daily chaos. Hunter also shares a real-life story from a mom who transformed her parenting experience by making small, mindful shifts—and how calm stopped feeling like a fantasy and started feeling possible.

A longtime skeptic shares an experience that unraveled everything he thought he knew about reality. Years after losing someone he deeply loved, he felt something impossible wash over him—a sensation he still struggles to put into words. Warm. Buzzing. Overwhelming. And then she was there. Not transparent. Not glowing. Not distorted. Just… present. Familiar. Calm. As if she'd never been gone at all. What follows isn't a story of fear or panic, but of shock, stillness, and a moment that felt completely separate from time. One that left him physically drained, emotionally shaken, and questioning whether consciousness itself can briefly shift into something else. Was it grief surfacing in an unexpected way? A waking dream? Or a genuine encounter that slipped through the cracks of an ordinary day? Some experiences don't scream for attention. They quietly remind you that maybe… people never really leave. #RealGhostStories #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalPodcast #GhostAtWork #AfterlifeEncounter #VisitationStory #UnexplainedExperience #ParanormalEncounter #LifeAfterDeath #SpiritsAmongUs #HauntedMoments Love real ghost stories?
