Podcasts about Celebrate

This week on the podcast we're diving into a topic that's near and dear to so many of us: friendships for neurodivergent kids (and yes, for us as parents too). With a new school year kicking into gear, worries about social connection and "finding your people" can rise to the surface—especially for families navigating neurodiversity. What We're Unpacking This Episode: Why friendships can be challenging for neurodivergent kids (think asynchronous development, sensory sensitivities, social anxiety, or intense interests that aren't always shared by peers). Supporting your child: From validating their feelings and practicing social skills together, to seeking out interest-based clubs and even professional help when needed, we're covering loads of strategies. Managing our own expectations: Sometimes it's our hearts that ache more than our kids'—especially if they're totally content solo-building Lego metropolises while we scroll by endless social media playdate posts. (You're not alone if this sounds all too familiar.) Key Takeaway: There's no single “right” way for kids to socialize—and not all loneliness means your child is suffering. We talk about the difference between the child who longs for connection (and how to support them) and the content solo flyer (who's truly happy alone, even if that's hard for us to accept as parents). Quick Tips From the Episode: Normalize neurodiversity at home. Celebrate differences. Your child isn't broken—they're beautifully wired. Prioritize shared interests over age. Sometimes the best friendships are across generations or centered around passions rather than peer groups. Practice and role-play social skills in low-pressure environments (think: one-on-one meetups, online clubs like our Learner's Lab, or even just chatting with a cool neighbor with a unique hobby). Know that seeking therapy or coaching is a strength, not a weakness—for both kids and parents. A Gentle Reminder: If your child is thriving emotionally, feels seen and supported, and is building their life at their own pace—even if it doesn't look the way you expected—you're doing a great job. Sometimes the most meaningful friendships (and personal growth) take the scenic route.   Links and Resources from Today's Episode Thank you to our sponsors: CTC Math – Flexible, affordable math for the whole family!

High performers celebrate results. High Capacity Humans reinforce identity.In this episode, learn why pausing to mark progress isn't extra — it's essential because what you celebrate, you repeat.Most high performers don't celebrate.They skip the pause. They dismiss the progress. They jump to what's next.And in doing so, they miss the moment their identity was trying to shift.In this episode, Julie unpacks why celebration isn't about ego — it's about reinforcement.Through story, science, and soul-aligned wisdom, you'll discover how identity is shaped by what you pause to mark… and how skipping celebration can quietly keep you stuck in hustle mode, even when you're winning.If you've ever wondered why your progress still feels flat — or why your momentum keeps stalling — this episode will help you reframe celebration as a key part of sustainable growth.You'll hear: • Why most performance frameworks miss the identity layer • The neuroscience and psychology of celebration and memory • How a coaching couple learned to celebrate simply — and why that mattered • What Indra Nooyi did as CEO that deeply reinforced identity in her leadersToday's Micro Recalibration:Take 90 seconds today to reflect on one moment of identity-aligned progress from the past week. Even if it feels small. Especially if it feels small.Here are some ideas you can consider: • A decision you made that honored your values • A moment you slowed down instead of reacting • A conversation you had with more clarity • A boundary you held without guilt • A way you showed up that felt honest and alignedMark it.Celebrate it.Let your brain — and your body — feel the win.And if you're in a position of leadership — whether that's a team, a classroom, a family, or a community you shape:Find one moment of progress — in yourself or someone else — and name it.Pause and say: “This moment matters. I see who you're becoming.”That's not sentiment.That's identity formation in real time.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

In this 292nd episode of Take Flight Weekly, we're digging into the real drivers of elite performance. Not theories. Not motivational fluff. We're talking about the psychology, systems, habits, and feedback loops that keep top producers at the top — and why “waiting to feel motivated” is one of the fastest ways to stall your business. Here's the truth: money may get you started, but it rarely keeps you going. Once your financial base is secure, the real fuel comes from clarity, recognition, purpose, and the environment you operate in. Elite producers know this — and they intentionally build those triggers into their daily routine.

You don't have to wait until everything is perfect to feel proud and to acknowledge yourself for your accomplishments. This episode reminds you to celebrate the progress you're making, even mid-journey. Want to feel more confident along the way?

But here's the reframe: your celebration is the seed, not the result. What you're celebrating is the vibration of trust, the embodiment of faith, the full permission to believe before the outcome arrives.Celebration, in this sense, becomes a spiritual act of certainty. It isn't about pretending or faking it — it's about feeling it first, so the universe knows you're serious. When you withhold celebration until after the goal is reached, you signal lack. When you celebrate before it manifests, you declare your readiness and worthiness.So, the question isn't “Has it happened yet?” It's “Can I celebrate as if it's already done?” That's the vibration that collapses timelines.Support the Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1590358/support Closing of ReThinkBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

This week's episode of the podcast is all about executive function—what it is, how struggles in these skills show up in homeschoolers, and, most importantly, what you can do at home to support your child as they grow. Whether your child is gifted, twice-exceptional, or has a neurodivergence like ADHD or autism, these ideas are for you. Here are some highlights and key takeaways: Executive function is more than organization. It encompasses a whole set of skills: from planning and prioritizing to task initiation, working memory, emotional regulation, and more. Many neurodivergent kids' intellectual abilities often outpace these essential life skills. Scaffolding and modeling are key. Building executive function doesn't mean doing it all for them. Instead, break down tasks, provide step-by-step support, externalize plans (think: whiteboards and visual checklists), and consistently model your own planning and problem-solving out loud. Progress, not perfection. Celebrate small wins and keep the focus on growth and effort. Building these life skills is a marathon, not a sprint. Our job isn't to micromanage, but to guide, equip, and be a safe base as our kids grow into independent problem-solvers. Whether you're a parent or educator, this episode is a great reminder: little steps matter—and you're not alone on the journey!   Links and Resources from Today's Episode Thank you to our sponsors: CTC Math – Flexible, affordable math for the whole family!

 How to be a strong runner even as you ageWe all know the saying, "Age is just a number," but when it comes to running, that number can sometimes feel like a roadblock. However, I'm here to tell you that with the right approach, you can absolutely continue to improve your speed and perform at your best, no matter your age. So, let's explore how to stay fast as the years go by!Let's dive in! First off, it's important to understand what changes as we age. Muscle mass starts to decline after age 30, which affects our strength and speed. Also, aerobic capacity (the ability of your heart and lungs to provide oxygen to your muscles) tends to decrease with age. This makes it harder to sustain faster paces.But here's the good news: these age-related changes aren't permanent. By being proactive in our training, we can maintain and even enhance our running performance over time.Don't compare yourself to pro or olympic athletes. You aren't a pro. 

Hello to you listening in Manassas, Virginia!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more for a story tip) for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.For over 30 years I've keynoted, written, taught and consulted on the “sorcery of stories.” Sounds rather magical and mystical, right? But there's no witchcraft here. Only good old-fashioned narrative and imagination at work to interpret events, assign meaning, configure our stories, communicate insights, explain Truths, and shape our perspectives.  At its best, the "sorcery of stories” offers us a means to explore, understand, and reframe old narratives about ourselves so that we might reframe our perspective to celebrate challenges overcome, doubts erased, and fears undone.If you are curious about how to reframe the old narrative you've been telling yourself and reframe your perception about that narrative, I have a simple 3-part story structure for you to work with.Think about an old story that's still rattling around in your brain. Complete each of these 3 phrases, in order:  If you had told me 20 years ago that I would [fill in the blank]I might have [fill in the blank]but instead if you could see me now I'm [fill in the blank].Here's my story: If you had told me 20 years ago that I would walk 500 miles across Spain estoy solo on pilgrimage I might have derided and dismissed that idea as one for foolish, time-wasting dreamers; but instead if you could see me now (having walked those 500 miles on foot) I'm set free to be me, walking into my own life, fully deserving of what I have loved all along.      Story Prompt: Now your turn to reframe your narrative, reframe your perspective. Write that story! And tell it out loud!You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us! You will have wonderful company as we continue to walk our lives together.

Today's guest is Kathy Sierra. Kathy Sierra is a computer scientist, author, and horse-movement innovator who bridges neuroscience, learning psychology, and equine training. Co-creator of the award-winning Head First programming series and founder of the JavaRanch community, she later turned her expertise in intrinsic motivation toward her lifelong passion for horses. Through her Panther Flow approach, Kathy helps horses and riders unlock confident, curious, and expressive movement, sharing her work worldwide through courses, workshops, and writing. In training and movement, drilling “perfect form” is standard practice. The more we get into how humans learn, the more we realize that “perfect form” is a myth, and learning is a far more complex venture. Using both differential learning (variety) and constraints helps athletes hone in on their own optimal (and robust) technique, without needing to constantly be looking for one “perfect” way to do things. This is not only true in animals, but also in humans and in machine learning. On this week's episode, Kathy covers aspects of training horses using the same motor learning concepts that work best in humans. She also goes into how and why robots learn to move better based on constraints, trial and error, versus a “perfect technique” type of programming. This is a fascinating and wide-ranging discussion on human movement, learning, and sport skill. Today's episode is brought to you by Hammer Strength.

What to try: Start with establishing safety and trust before layering complexity. Use observation as your first tool, notice subtle shifts in posture or energy. Match your cues to the learner's readiness, not your agenda. Discovering the Community of Movement – [11:16] She describes how connecting with other movement-minded people broadened her perspective and expanded her toolkit. What to try: Seek out cross-disciplinary conversations, dancers, martial artists, animal trainers. Share drills and games openly; let others adapt them for their setting. Use community feedback as a way to refine your own approach. The Power of Natural Movement – [21:40] Kathy emphasizes that natural, unforced movement often produces the most authentic and sustainable skill. What to try: Design environments that invite natural movement patterns to emerge. Remove overbearing cues, let the body self-organize. Watch for efficiency and ease, not just output. Emotions in Movement and Skill Acquisition – [32:19] She links emotional state to physical learning, noting that fear or tension can block skill development. What to try: Pair challenging tasks with positive emotional experiences. Recognize emotional cues, frustration, joy, hesitation, and adjust tasks accordingly. Celebrate small wins to keep confidence high. The Impact of Coaching on Authenticity – [41:22] Kathy warns that over-coaching can erode authenticity in movement. What to try: Avoid shaping every rep, allow athletes to bring their own style. Use fewer,

EP 229. The Self-Worth Reset — Stop Discounting Yourself in Life, Love, and BusinessOkay, real talk — why is it so easy to hype up our friends, see all their brilliance, and call out their greatness… but when it comes to us, we downplay, diminish, and straight-up discount our own worth?If you've been settling for crumbs in your relationships, undervaluing your time in business, or forgetting just how much you've overcome in life — this episode is your official Self-Worth Reset. We're ditching the clearance tag and putting you back on the top shelf where you belong.I'm talking about learning to see yourself through loving eyes (the same way my husband sees me even when I'm picking myself apart), reclaiming your value in life, love, and business, and creating daily proof that your worth is non-negotiable. Because when you know your value, you stop negotiating with people who want you cheap, and you start attracting the opportunities, love, and respect that match your level.This isn't just an episode — it's a reminder that you are the prize, the moment, the magic… and it's time the world — and you — treated you that way.KEY TAKEAWAYSYou often believe in your friends more than yourself.Main Character Energy is a decision, not just a vibe.Self-worth should be reset regularly.Check your life resume, not just your work resume.You are not a clearance item; you are priceless.Your worth is not negotiable.Celebrate your achievements, no matter how small.See yourself through the loving eyes of others.Stop allowing others to undervalue your time and expertise.You are already chosen — by you — so act like it.CHAPTERS00:00 The Self-Worth Reset03:24 Recognizing Discounting Behaviors05:46 Seeing Yourself Through Loving Eyes09:22 The Self-Love Two-Step13:45 Resetting Your Worth16:13 Embracing Your Value18:36 Empowerment Through Sharing and Connection✨ THE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP: YOUR SELF WORTH RESETIt's not enough to realize you've been discounting yourself — you have to choose a new way of valuing yourself and live it out daily.Step 1 — Check Your Resume Write down exactly what you bring to the table — skills, strengths, qualities, and lived experiences.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Chad Hufford, founder and lead advisor, Veritas Wealth Management. He highlights how embracing failure as experimentation, focusing on intentional choices, and building life by design, not by default, can lead to real, lasting success and fulfillment.   In today's episode, we discuss: Recognize the impact of early role models. Examine who influenced you most in childhood and what values or lessons they modeled. Understanding these roots helps clarify the foundation for your present decisions and leadership style, guiding you toward more authentic, intentional living. Build resilience through stepping into the unknown. Consider experiences that pushed you out of your comfort zone, as Chad's Alaskan upbringing did for him. Cultivating tolerance for uncertainty sharpens your adaptability and prepares you for difficult leadership decisions, which is key for navigating change and adversity. Use blueprints as flexible guides. Develop clear strategies and plans (your “blueprint”), but remain open to adapting as circumstances shift. This approach keeps you proactive but nimble, allowing you to celebrate progress rather than judge imperfection—making goal achievement less overwhelming and more rewarding. Celebrate controllable actions over uncontrollable outcomes. Focus your efforts on the daily choices you can influence instead of external results like market trends or other people's behavior. This shift builds a sense of agency, boosts motivation, and creates sustainable progress toward long-term goals. Claim the driver's seat in your life. Acknowledge where you've been passive or reactive, and commit to making decisions that align with your values and vision. This empowers you to move from feeling stuck or at the mercy of circumstance to actively shaping your own fulfillment and success. Focus on mindset to create lasting change. Prioritize internal shifts in thinking and resilience, as Chad's book emphasizes, rather than just external “how-tos.” Cultivating an abundant and intentional mindset makes every step toward growth—financial or personal—feel more meaningful and achievable.   RESOURCES: Guest Bio Chad Hufford, a lifelong Alaskan, is a financial advisor, speaker, and bestselling author of “Forging Financial Freedom”. He leads Veritas Wealth Management, a boutique firm managing over $500 million nationwide, and is a Dave Ramsey Smart Vestor Pro.   Blending expertise in finance, athletics, and performance psychology, Chad helps people invest wisely and live with purpose. He speaks often on faith, fitness, and intentional living. Chad and his wife Tiffany have six children and are active in their church and local community. Their family enjoys fishing, hunting, and the Alaskan outdoors.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Are you still running your agency like it's 2010? You know the setup: rigid roles, top-down management, a “just get it done” culture. If that sounds like your agency, chances are you're the bottleneck. You're stuck in the weeds, making every single decision, dealing with high churn, and wondering why output is low despite how hard everyone's working. This is the story for most agency owners at the 7-figure stage. But the agencies scaling fastest today have evolved—and we're breaking down exactly how. Why Most Agencies Get Stuck Most agency owners didn't plan to be CEOs. You were good at strategy, sales, design, or delivery. Then suddenly—boom—you're the boss. Now the team looks to you for every decision, every review, every answer. The problem isn't your team. It's the lack of vision. When there's no clear direction, your team can't lead themselves—because they don't know where the hell they're going. Once I clearly communicated the mission—“We're building the resource I wish I had”—everything changed. Decisions got made without me. Accountability rose. That's what happens when people lead toward a clear goal. Key shift: You don't need more doers. You need more leaders. Attracting A-Players (Not Babysitting B-Teamers) A-players cost more—about 20% more on paper—but they produce 10–20x more than your average B-level staffer. They don't need to be told. They take ownership. So how do you attract them? Build a brand people want to belong to. Ramblin Jackson, one of our mastermind members, calls their team “Ramblers.” It's fun. It creates identity. It's not just a job—it's a tribe. Make your job posts feel like sales letters. “Here's who we are. Here's why it matters. Here's what you'll help us build.” Ramblin even walks candidates through the hiring process on their site to build trust. Put your team on display. Show them off on your website, on social, in your wins. A-players don't just want just a job, they want purpose. Make it visible. Building a High-Performing Culture Great teams don't happen by accident. They're built on clarity, feedback, and connection. Here's how to build a culture that scales: Communicate Clearly. Use Looms instead of emails. Weekly standups. Show people what winning looks like—and support them to get there. Give & Receive Feedback. Quarterly ask: What should we start, stop, and continue doing? Then actually do something with those answers. Support Growth Paths. Not everyone wants to lead. Some want to be elite specialists. Either path is valuable—support both. Forge Connections on Purpose. Especially if you're remote. Retreats, local meetups, even casual Zooms help remind your team: we're building something together. Stop Managing. Start Coaching. Reviews are fine. But coaching is where the magic happens. Ask your team: “Where do you want to grow?” “What ideas do you have to help the company grow?” You're not just managing performance—you're investing in potential. Then teach them the 131 Method to make better decisions without you: 1 What's the issue? 3 What are 3 possible solutions? 1 What's your one recommendation? This trains your team to think like owners. Also: stop assigning tasks—start assigning outcomes. Let them figure out the how. Debrief when things go sideways, but stop micromanaging. Growth comes from ownership. Sustainability Is the Long Game You can't grow a team if they're burned out, checked out, or walking out. Here's how to protect your team's energy: Cut the fluff meetings Encourage real time off Create space for recovery (mental health days, no-meeting weeks) Celebrate wins publicly (Slack shoutouts, weekly recaps) Keep people connected—virtually and IRL Culture isn't perks. It's how people feel when they're building with you.  The traditional agency model is broken. You don't need more hands—you need more heads. Build a team of leaders. Create a culture of clarity, connection, and coaching. Get out of the damn way—and let them fly. If you're ready to attract better clients and become uncuttable, check out the Attract Masterclass. It will help you position your agency to pull in the right leads instead of just more leads.

As I prepared for this podcast all of the joy and happy moments of our stay during Disneyland's 70th anniversary just flooded over me. This is my opportunity to Celebrate Happy with you.

Today's poem is [since feeling is first] by E.E. Cummings.The Slowdown is currently taking a break. We'll be back on Monday, August 18 with episodes from our new host, Maggie Smith. This week, we're going back into the archive to revisit Ada Limón's time as host. In this episode, Ada writes… “I have a friend who will stare at something and say, “Now that's a poem.” A glove in the snow, a bird feather stuck in the fence post, a good meal. It feels like she is blurring the lines between what we think is a poem and what is poetic, between what is real life and the language we use to capture it. Today's poem, by the beloved poet E.E. Cummings, does that work of showing us the resounding “yes” to the poem—and also “yes” to the real, tangible, touchable, life.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.
