President Trump and President Xi,  the two most powerful men in the world, met last week in Korea to try to, basically, calm things down.  China had just flexed its muscles, threatening to limit the export of key inputs like rare earth magnets and other critical minerals without which auto assembly plants in America could, within weeks, come to a standstill. America could inflict its own damage, by widening the net of sanctions on Chinese companies and individuals. Looking at the images on the TV screen, I began to wonder: In what areas are America and China still in agreement? Taiwan? No. South China Sea? No. Russia? No. Chips? No. Trade. A big no. That got me thinking about what lies ahead. To bring clarity and wisdom, I welcome Jorge Guajardo, former ambassador of Mexico to China to the show to ask him some fundamental questions: Since the US and China seem to have different values, different priorities and different regulations, can they ever see eye to eye? Who is decoupling more quickly, the United States or China. And how will Mexico play its cards as it finds itself squeezed between China and the United States with the car industry, investments and jobs looming large.

You can be passionate about your exercise or sport, and still burn out from it. Have you ever pushed yourself so hard to “do better” or beat a personal best, that the joy disappeared? For many perfectionistic or ADHD minds, exercise can be too much of a good thing, so how to balance that is exactly what this episode unpacks. In this episode of the Pause Purpose Play podcast, Clinical Psychologist Michaela Thomas speaks with Dr. Josephine Perry, Chartered Sport and Exercise Psychologist, about the complex relationship between ADHD, high performance, and perfectionism in sport and exercise. Together, they explore how the drive for achievement can become both a strength and a struggle — especially for those with busy, high-achieving minds. Whether you're an athlete, a coach, or someone using exercise to manage ADHD, this conversation offers insights into balancing motivation, wellbeing, and self-compassion. Dr. Perry shares her practical ‘coins system' for tracking energy expenditure and understanding when you're pushing too hard, offering strategies to prevent burnout, injury, and loss of joy in movement. Michaela brings her signature compassionate approach to exploring how ADHD traits such as hyperfocus, impulsivity, and perfectionism can show up in exercise habits — and how to turn these into sources of balance and fulfilment instead of exhaustion. You'll hear: How ADHD and perfectionism affect motivation, recovery, and performance The fine line between discipline and overtraining Why self-compassion is the missing piece for sustainable success How societal pressures and body image ideals shape our relationship with sport Ways to bring more joy, purpose, and play into your training or movement routines About the Guest Dr Josephine Perry is a chartered Sport and Exercise Psychologist who works with high performers in sport, stage and a range of sectors where people will be working outside of their comfort zones. She specialises in those struggling with performance anxiety and those who have ADHD. She is the author of 6 books including Performing Under Pressure, I Can: The teenage athlete's guide to mental fitness and, most recently, ADHD in Sport: Strategies for Success.

This is part two of how men size each other up — and how you are being sized up, too. In this episode, I talk about verbal control — how your tone, pace, and clarity say more than your words.

And finally, I explain why staying calm is real power — because when your emotions don't control you, you control the room Show Notes [01:02]#4 Verbal Control.  [09:52]#5 Unconscious boundaries.  [21:56]#6 Calm is power.

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.

JB White broadcasts from Broward County on the eve of the Great American Restoration Tour, bringing sharp insight, fiery humor, and unfiltered patriotism to this RattlerGator Report. He previews the upcoming Badlands panels, including his own “Trust in a Trustless Society”, and shares why Trump's leadership and MAGA's persistence have the establishment terrified. From the chaos of recent elections and the “CIA governor” in Virginia to Trump's strategic endorsement of Cuomo, JB argues that everything happening now is part of the long game. He connects the dots between the Comey revelations, Nick Fuentes' infiltration, and the globalist stronghold of the City of London, warning listeners to stay alert and united. The show takes a visionary turn as JB praises Elon Musk's “embodied AI,” predicting America's dominance in technology and space under Trump's leadership. With righteous cussing, Southern charm, and unwavering faith, JB reminds listeners that patriots were born for this moment, and Florida will be where justice lands.

Maya Ramos is hoping that celebrating Halloween in Puerto Rico is exactly what she needs to get over her recent breakup. Her cousins think finding the perfect guy for a fling would help even more. Little do they know the candidate is closer than they think. Bryan Montalvo Ayala wholeheartedly believes he is the perfect guy for Maya, but not for a fling. He's known she was the one for him since the moment they met in college. His powers told him so. What he's never known is why that soul-deep knowledge skipped Maya.

I'll walk you through my own reflection process — from my messy, beautiful journaling practice to the tools I'm using this year. You'll hear how I use prompts to remember my best memories, release what's not working, and find clarity about what to carry forward. So grab your notebook, your favorite drink, and join me in this reflective space.

Hi Wellness Warrior!  Have you ever felt at war with your own body — like no matter what you eat, how much you sleep, or how hard you try to “do everything right,” your body just isn't cooperating? Maybe your hormones feel all over the place — the PMS, the fatigue, the anxiety that seems to come out of nowhere.  Or maybe you've struggled with your relationship with food or your body? You have an eating disorder that constantly haunts you.  If that sounds familiar, friend, today's conversation is going to speak right to your heart....or I should say to your brain. Before motherhood, Laurie Hammer battled an eating disorder, anxiety, and depression, affecting her health, relationships, and overall well-being. Discovering Amino Acid Therapy changed everything, helping her reclaim her life and igniting a passion for health and wellness. With a degree in psychology and certification in nutritional therapy, she created the Calm Mom Method—a proven approach to help moms manage anxiety, restore energy, and live with purpose. She also shares her expertise on the podcast, Take Back My Brain.

Sara sits down with her friend Chelsea Bohnstedt, a yoga instructor and certified sound healer, to talk about her powerful alcohol-free journey. At the time of recording, Chelsea is 562 days sober, but her path to get here was far from linear. Chelsea opens up about: Hitting rock bottom after repeated starts and stops, and how a medical crisis finally became her turning point. The kindling effect. A dangerous neurological response that makes withdrawal symptoms worse each time you quit and start drinking again. Finding recovery through SMART Recovery and Y12SR (Yoga for 12-Step Recovery) after struggling to connect with traditional AA. Healing anxiety, rediscovering peace, and embracing the beauty of a “boring life.” How yoga, meditation, and sound baths helped her reconnect with her body and spirit, and why spirituality doesn't have to look “religious.” Sara and Chelsea also share stories from their time together at the Sober Tahoe Adventure Retreat and reflect on how sound healing and self-care practices can unlock powerful emotional healing.

Leadership is heavy in ways no one talks about.We expect long hours, enrollment pressure, staff turnover, and parent demands — but the invisible weight of leadership isn't in the spreadsheets. It's in the emotions, expectations, and energy you absorb every day.In this powerful conversation, Chanie redefines burnout and exposes why the “fix-it-fast” advice doesn't work. Because burnout doesn't come from working too hard, it comes from becoming the system.If you've been the leader who holds everyone else's fear, absorbs everyone's disappointment, and smiles while suffocating inside, this episode is your permission to stop.Learn how to trade survival for sustainability by building rhythms that distribute the weight, not systems that keep you holding it all.Join the live workshop, Delegation Isn't the Finish Line: Ownership Is to learn how to build rhythms that hold you steady.Register at: schoolsofexcellence.com/delegationWhat You'll LearnWhy traditional definitions of burnout miss the real causeThe difference between working hard and becoming the systemWhy “fix-it-fast” solutions (like pizza parties) don't actually workHow to identify invisible labor, and stop carrying what's not yoursThe power of rhythms to distribute emotional and operational weightWhat it means to be an “all-seasons leader” — not just calm-weather leadershipKey InsightsBurnout doesn't chase weakness — it preys on competence.The body keeps score when you carry what's not yours to hold.You don't need to get stronger — you need to be held.Systems alone can't save you; rhythms sustain you.Calm isn't forever. Leadership is who you are under pressure.Memorable Quotes“Burnout isn't working too hard, it's becoming the system.”“If burnout can find you because you're extraordinary, then rhythms can hold you because you're extraordinary.”“You don't need to get stronger. You need to be held.”“Leadership isn't what happens in the calm. It's who you are when the pressure knocks.”Reflection PromptsWhere are you holding what isn't yours to hold?What invisible weight are you carrying for your team or school?What would change if your leadership wasn't a solo sport?Next StepStop carrying the invisible weight alone.Join the workshop: Delegation Isn't the Finish Line: Ownership Is.Learn how to build rhythms that distribute leadership and restore your energy.

Ever feel guilty no matter what you do, like you're failing at something, somewhere, all the time? You're not broken. You're just living inside impossible expectations. In this week's Moment, Dr Sophie Brock, a motherhood studies sociologist (yes, she literally has a PhD in motherhood), shares why so much of our guilt isn't truly ours at all. Sophie explains that guilt often comes from the shoulds we've absorbed from society, not from our own values. The real power lies in holding that guilt up to the light and asking: Is this mine to carry, or something I've been taught to feel? This short clip is a reminder that guilt can be a guide, but only when it serves you, not the story you've been told about what a “good mother” should be. Listen, reflect, and maybe let a little bit of that guilt go this week.

Welcome to Don't Cut Your Own Bangs — the podcast that makes big feelings feel less scary and approaching them feel possible. I'm Danielle Ireland, LCSW, and today's episode is your Stress Reset: Holiday Boundaries and Presence — your one-stop, low-stress recap of my five-part series Put Down the Panic: A Kinder Guide to Stress. Think of this episode like a cozy audio love note — equal parts humor, heart, and a gentle nudge to slow down before the chaos of the season pulls you under. I'm walking you through: - Why exhaustion isn't laziness (it's a signal, not a flaw). - What burnout really looks like — and how to catch it before it pulls you under. - The power of saying "no" kindly (and why that's a gift to everyone). - How to turn down the volume on stress when life gets too loud. - And why your body's signals are the wisest holiday planner you have. Together we'll laugh, breathe deeper, and hopefully feel seen — because no, you're not the only one who's almost cried during family photos or used caffeine as a coping mechanism.

Welcome to a new episode of ASMR Sleep Recordings. In this episode, you will hear the rain on the window. 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.

The saying goes "Expectation leads to disappointment, which leads to suffering". Yes but how do we deal with those feelings? How do we push past those complicated emotions because it is hard to go through life without becoming attached to the things we care about most? Breath, my friend. It is through the breath.

"Calm in the Storm""Celebrate God's Goodness"Philippians 4:4-8 

This is number 27 of a 30-part meditation series inspired by Adyashanti. This episode, drawn from the Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi, invites you to seek to understand yourself and others before seeking to be understood. When you understand yourself deeply, the demand that others understand you begins to melt away. Your heart and mind open, and you enjoy life more. Demanding that others understand BEFORE you try to understand them can block awakened consciousness from streaming through you. By seeking to understand, you open energetic pathways within yourself through which your own insight can flow.These practices build on each other, so you can listen consecutively, but if there is one in particular that speaks to you, feel free to stick with it. Based on the teachings of Adyashanti, they can be used alone or as a companion to his audio series, The 30-Day Wake Up Challenge, or his book, The Direct Way: 30 Practices to Evoke Awakening. This meditation correlates to Day 27. In some cases, the meditations are also loosely inspired by the teachings of Andrew Holecek, Pema Chodron, and Eckhart Tolle.  I hope you enjoy.Music: Lovingkindness by Six Missing (used with permission).Audio: Eric Fischer. Prayer of St. Francis of AssisiLord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.Support the showHost: Tess CallahanSubstack: Writers at the WellInterview Podcast: Writers at the WellMeditations on Insight TimerMeditations on YouTubeTess's novels: https://tesscallahan.com/Music (unless otherwise noted above): Christopher Lloyd ClarkAudio Editing: Eric Fischer By tapping "like" and "follow" you help others find the show.

When the end of Daylight Savings Time rolls around, many of us sigh, “Here we go again!” As today's prayer and devotional remind us, even though adjusting the clock by an hour may seem simple, it often disrupts our rhythm, leaving us feeling tired, confused, and slightly off-balance. Some of us might even show up late (or early!) to work, church, or appointments. In this practical and faith-filled reflection, Lynette Kittle reminds us that even the passage of time is under God’s control. Whether we’re falling back or springing forward, God’s timing is always perfect. He invites us to approach every day — and every hour — with gratitude, patience, and faith. By trusting God to guide us through life’s constant changes, we can turn this minor seasonal annoyance into an opportunity for spiritual growth. Each hour we’re given is a gift, a reminder that our lives are held in His hands. Instead of grumbling through the adjustment, we can use this moment to rest in His wisdom and give thanks for the time He’s entrusted to us. Today's Bible Reading:“For through wisdom your days will be many, and years will be added to your life.” – Proverbs 9:11 Takeaway Truths Every hour is a gift from God — His timing is always perfect. We can trust God to guide us through changes and disruptions. Gratitude and patience help us embrace life’s rhythm with faith and peace.

Melanie Perkins is CEO and co-founder of Canva, currently valued at over $42 billion, generating over $3 billion in annual revenue, with more than 240 million monthly active users and, incredibly, eight consecutive years of profitability. But the journey was far from smooth. Melanie was rejected by over 100 investors during her first fundraising round, her team spent two years without being able to ship a new feature during a technical rewrite, and the company pivoted early from a yearbook publishing platform to become the design powerhouse it is today. Through it all, she maintained what she calls “column B” thinking: building toward a dream future rather than just using the bricks around you.We discuss:1. How “column B” thinking helped Melanie build Canva, by starting with an impossible vision rather than existing constraints2. The power of setting “crazy big goals”3. How Canva survived a painful two-year period without shipping any new features while rewriting their codebase4. How Melanie pushed through 100 investor rejections, and how she used each rejection to strengthen her pitch5. Canva's “two-step plan”: build one of the world's most valuable companies, then do the most good possible6.
