What happens when fitness stops being punishment and becomes a way of coming home to yourself?In this conversation, Kristin Walker sits down with longtime friend, fitness coach, podcaster and mental health advocate Aline Duriaud for a wide-ranging conversation about late-identified neurodivergence, menopause, strength training, Muay Thai, mental health, coercive control, unmasking, and the extraordinary experience of finally understanding the operating system you've been living inside all along.Aline talks candidly about receiving an ADHD diagnosis in midlife and more recently beginning to understand herself through an autistic lens. She and Kristin explore the grief that can accompany late identification, but also the enormous possibility that opens when years of therapy, self-knowledge and lived experience suddenly have a new organizing framework. They also talk about bodies.Aline shares how she moved into fitness professionally in her late 40s, becoming a certified personal trainer and later pursuing specialist training in menopause and mobility. What began as a desire to become physically strong during an extraordinarily difficult period of her life eventually led her into bodybuilding, coaching, mobility work and, in her 50s, Muay Thai.The conversation gets into something rarely discussed in conventional fitness culture: movement as nervous-system regulation. For neurodivergent women especially, physical training can offer a place to put enormous mental energy, reconnect with a body that may have felt unsafe or disconnected, learn complex systems through movement, and experience strength without turning exercise into another form of punishment.Aline also speaks openly about her own experiences with coercive control, difficult coaching relationships, mental health treatment, DBT, burnout and the danger of handing too much authority to someone simply because they call themselves a coach. The result is a thoughtful discussion about agency, boundaries and finding forms of movement—and relationships—that actually fit the person you are.And then there is Muay Thai. Aline describes what it is like to become a beginner again in her 50s, learning an intricate combat sport with an ADHD coach who sometimes explains body mechanics using kebabs, baseball bats and imaginary iron testicles. Somehow, it works. Because perhaps the point isn't perfect discipline. Perhaps the point is discovering the kind of movement that makes you want to return to your body.About Aline DuriaudAline Duriaud is a London-based certified personal trainer, fitness coach, mental health advocate and founder of Rise Strong Fitness Collective, where her work centers particularly on helping women over 40 build strength, mobility, confidence and sustainable relationships with movement.Her professional study includes personal training, strength and resistance training, menopause-focused coaching, mobility for strength and injury prevention, body composition and functional training. Her own evolving practice also includes bodybuilding and Muay Thai. Aline is the host of Flex and Flow with Aline, a podcast exploring the intersection of fitness and mental health through conversations with coaches, athletes, mental health professionals and people whose lives have been changed by movement. She also created Beyond the Borderline, a peer-focused mental health podcast that has accumulated more than 80,000 downloads.Her newest writing explores menopause, neurodivergence, fitness and her experience of learning Muay Thai in her 50s.Find AlineSubstack — Menopause & Muay Thaihttps://substack.com/@menopauseandmuaythaiInstagram — Aline Duriaudhttps://www.instagram.com/aline.duriaudRise Strong Fitness Collectivehttps://www.instagram.com/risestrongfitnesslondon/Flex and Flow with Aline — Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/flex-and-flow-with-aline/id1788533409Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mental-health-news-radio--3082057/support.
"It's not what happens. It's the story you tell yourself about what's happening." -Antonio Michael Downing On this episode of Turmeric & Tequila™, Kristen Olson sits down with critically acclaimed author, speaker, and musician Antonio Michael Downing for a deeply personal conversation about identity, resilience, creativity, reinvention, belonging, and the power of storytelling. Antonio Michael Downing is the author of the acclaimed memoir Saga Boy, the novel Black Cherokee, and Stars in My Crown, and he creates music under his alter ego John Orpheus. His work explores identity, transformation, belonging, and what it takes to change the way we see ourselves. But this conversation goes far beyond books. Kristen and Antonio unpack the question so many of us eventually face: Who am I—and who am I becoming? Antonio shares how his childhood in Trinidad, his grandmother, music, sports, mentors, and the different identities he created throughout his life ultimately helped him understand himself more deeply. They talk about the experience of "trying on" different versions of yourself, what happens when those versions no longer fit, and why making peace with your past can be necessary before you can confidently choose your future. Antonio also explains how writing Saga Boy became part of his own process of coming back to himself, including conducting hundreds of hours of interviews with people from his life to reconstruct his story. The conversation then moves into one of the most powerful ideas of the episode: You have the ability to rewrite the story. Antonio explains that the events of our lives aren't necessarily the thing that defines us—the meaning and narrative we attach to those events can profoundly influence how we move forward. You'll also hear about: Finding your identity Coming home to yourself The power of your childhood self Reinvention and personal transformation The role of sports and coaches in shaping identity Creativity as a pathway to self-discovery Antonio's musical alter ego, John Orpheus Saga Boy and the journey of becoming Black Cherokee and questions of belonging Storytelling and personal narrative Journaling and grounding Breathwork and reconnecting with yourself How problems and adversity reveal character Why identity matters in an increasingly noisy world How to consciously reshape the story you tell yourself Antonio's own mission is beautifully aligned with this conversation: "the story you tell defines you," and he believes great stories are rooted in authenticity, empathy, and integrity. This is a conversation about identity, self-discovery, resilience, and the courage to become the person you were always capable of being.

We're not home, but we're never outside God's reach and we have a story to tell. Reality Carpinteria pastor Adam Smith continues our summer series in the Psalms with a sermon from Psalm 107.
Evan Bradds is returning to his alma mater, Belmont University, where he was a two-time AP All-American Honorable Mention and the program's all-time leading scorer during the Division I era. After his playing career, Bradds quickly rose through the coaching ranks, gaining experience at the highest levels of basketball and ultimately becoming the second-youngest head coach in Division I basketball. Now, he returns to Nashville with the opportunity to lead the program where he made his name. Bradds' coaching journey has taken him through some of the most respected organizations in basketball. Most recently at Duke, he was part of a team that won 35 games, while his NBA experience with the Boston Celtics and Utah Jazz gave him the opportunity to be instrumental in the development of players like Walker Kessler, Keyonte George, and Grant Williams. He also worked alongside some of the game's most respected coaches, including Joe Mazzulla, Brad Stevens, and Ime Udoka, experiences that have helped shape his approach as a coach. Bradds now takes over a Belmont program coming off an MVC Championship under Casey Alexander, with several key pieces returning and expectations remaining high. Belmont's tradition and consistent success have established a standard that Bradds will be expected to maintain, but his familiarity with the program and experience across basketball's highest levels make this a particularly exciting new era for the Bruins.

Altium Develop brings the full Altium Designer experience — plus multi-board and harness design and cloud collaboration — to individual designers and small teams, without paying for enterprise features you'll never use: https://www.altium.com/develop?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=ontrack-podcast&utm_content=altium-is-coming-home-to-the-designer After 40 years as effectively a single-product company, Altium has repackaged its offering into Altium Develop, Teams, and Enterprise — and a lot of individual designers are asking what it means for them. In this episode of the Altium OnTrack Podcast, host Zach Peterson sits down with Lawrence Romine, senior director of marketing at Altium, to explain the "homecoming": a deliberate return of focus to the individual PCB designer who made Altium Designer the industry standard in the first place. Lawrence traces the company's story from its founding in Hobart, Tasmania, through the rise of Altium 365 during COVID, to why the enterprise pivot left some solo designers feeling left behind — and how the new packaging is meant to fix exactly that. You'll get a clear breakdown of the three offerings — Develop (a PCB-centric, "you choose it" proposition for up to five users), Teams (out-of-the-box collaboration), and Enterprise (fully governed, tailored deployments for regulated industries like automotive, medical, and aerospace) — all built on the same Altium Designer and Altium 365 you already know. Lawrence and Zach dig into pricing , why you shouldn't pay for capabilities you'll never use, how Altium prioritizes new feature development, and a hint at a new Altium Designer release that should feel a lot more like the big annual splash releases of 2015–2020. If you're an individual designer, a contract shop, or a small team wondering where you fit, this one's for you.
What happens when one deleted text turns into a full-blown story in your head—or when you find yourself dreading coming home to your own spouse? This week, we're talking about the stories we tell ourselves in marriage and how those internal narratives can quietly become the lens through which we see our entire relationship. From deleted texts and phone privacy to resentment, emotional disconnection, trust, marriage communication and feeling unhappy at home, I'm breaking down how assumptions can start feeling like facts—and how quickly we begin looking for evidence that proves the story we've already written about our partner. The question I keep coming back to: What story is each spouse telling themselves… and is it actually true? If you've ever overanalyzed your spouse's behavior, questioned their intentions, felt disconnected in your marriage or wondered whether your relationship problems are as bad as they feel in your head, this episode is for you.

There is a pace that belongs to you. Not the one your work demands. Not the one the world insists you should keep. But the one that lives in your bones — the one that moves in your chest when no one is watching. This pace has been trying to reach you for a long time. In this Stillness Journal meditation, Maya invites you to honor your own rhythm. We live in a culture that worships speed, that mistakes hurrying for living. Somewhere along the way, we began to believe that faster was better. That to keep up was to belong. This twenty-minute reflection explores what it means to live at your own tempo. Your rhythm is not a flaw to fix. It is a gift to tend. Through four moments of silence, you are invited to drop below the noise and listen for the drum that has been quietly beating in your chest since before you learned to hurry. This is not a practice of doing less. It is a practice of being more. Of arriving back into the body. Of trusting that you are not behind, not late, not missing anything. You are exactly where your rhythm has brought you. Settle in. The pace that is yours has been waiting patiently. It will keep waiting. Whenever you are ready to come back, it will be here. Chapters: 0:00 Welcome 3:30 The World's Pace 7:00 When You Live Out of Rhythm 10:30 Coming Home in Small Ways 14:00 Trusting the Slow 17:00 A Practice for the Days Ahead 19:30 Closing Reflection This episode was created with the assistance of artificial intelligence tools. The voice, words, and pacing were shaped by AI under creative direction aimed at offering a quiet moment for reflection.

Operation Midnight Hammer through the eyes of the people who flew it. "Glib" was the intelligence officer for the 55th Fighter Squadron, the Wild Weasels who flew Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses ahead of the B-2 strike on Iran. Watch the three-part documentary series on Afterburn Defense: Part I: https://youtu.be/MgQ_X3Td8a4 Part II: https://youtu.be/GzdL6NMYDso Part III: https://youtu.be/Xc22-2RaGSY This is the full interview. His job was to know the threat better than anyone in the squadron. In this conversation, he talks about the night the reporting was bad enough that he told a pilot to be prepared, what it is like to brief men whose wives and children you know, how a squadron built its own targeting picture when the strategic intelligence was not enough, and what he did on the ground while they were over Iran. Before Iran, the 55th Fighter Squadron fought over Yemen in Operation Rough Rider, a sustained air campaign against Houthi surface-to-air threats. What they learned there is the reason the F-16 Block 50 and the AGM-88 HARM were part of the strike package on June 21st, 2025. These interviews were recorded between December 2025 and January 2026 and preserve firsthand accounts from pilots, maintainers, intelligence officers, and logistics airmen who were there. 0:00 Building the Threat Picture Before Deployment 2:38 A Contested Environment Again 7:15 The Night I Thought My Pilots Would Die 8:35 Finding Out About Operation Midnight Hammer 14:26 The Night of the Mission 20:21 What the Squadron Did That Nobody Sees Have a story?

After five weeks away, I'm back behind the mic and this episode is a little life catch-up from me to you I'm sharing some of the moments that filled my cup this summer: biking through Amsterdam, visiting the Anne Frank House, slowing down by the sea in Deauville, celebrating my parents' 50th wedding anniversary, and soaking up time with my very big (and beautifully chaotic) family. But coming home has also had me thinking about what travel gives us beyond the trip itself: perspective. I've been reflecting on the slower, more communal way of living I experience when I'm in Europe, how working from home has changed the way so many of us connect, and why I'm craving more community and clearer boundaries between work and home in this next season. I also share a little behind the scenes of life lately—from an unexpectedly slow workday that felt like exactly what I needed, to celebrating four years of marriage with Raúl and the questions we ask each other every anniversary. And finally, I open up about something that's been on my heart: how we can grow spiritually as a couple and create practices that help us feel connected to something bigger than ourselves. In this episode, we chat about:What five weeks away reminded me about rest and perspectiveWhy travel always makes me reconsider how I want to live at homeThe European approach to community and connection I want to bring back with meMy evolving relationship with working from homeThe four questions Raúl and I asked each other on our wedding anniversaryA few books, shows, and very random life updates along the way Consider this our coffee date after a few weeks apart. I'm so happy to be back!

Eli44 grew up in Texas, took to the streets at a young age, did his first bid in the Texas Department of Corrections where he joined the Tango Blasts, and then caught a nearly 15 year federal sentence that sent him into federal medium security facilities and federal penitentiaries where he spent nearly a decade navigating the gang politics, the violence, and the disciplinary transfers that define life as a Tango Blast inside the federal system. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares what being a Tango Blast inside the federal system actually looks like — the rules, the politics, the violence, and the specific survival mindset that nearly 10 years inside some of the most brutal federal facilities in the country required of him — and what finally getting out and turning his life completely around actually took after everything those years produced. _____________________________________________ #crimestory #prison #truecrimestories _____________________________________________ Thank you to FACTOR & HIMS for sponsoring this episode: Factor: Head to https://factormeals.com/lockedin50off and use code lockedin50off to get 50 percent off and 1 free breakfast item per box for 1 year, while supplies last until! _____________________________________________ Hims: Visit https://hims.com/lockedin to get a personalized, affordable plan that gets you. _____________________________________________ Connect with Eli44: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thereal_eli44/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCd1XjhE0mMb34j-FwQsez3A/feed TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereal_eli44 _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 00:20 Growing Up in Austin 01:47 Finding the Streets and Music 04:21 Early Hustle and First Arrests 05:59 The Katrina Clash and Carrying a Weapon 08:00 The Music Scene and Getting Deeper 10:10 Jack Boys and Robberies 13:29 Caught with Drugs and a Gun 15:31 Going to TDC and Getting Initiated 18:00 Life in the State Prison 20:00 The Music Blows Up 22:00 Returning to the Drug Game 24:04 The Setup and Getting Caught 34:00 The Arrest and Aftermath 36:48 The Feds Get Involved 40:35 Cartel Pressure and Family Threats 44:00 Federal Sentence and Time in County 47:59 Life in the Federal Pen 54:00 The Politics of the Yard 01:04:00 A Standoff and Stealing an Amp 01:09:00 The Theft and Its Consequences 01:13:00 A Show of Force and Diplomacy 01:20:00 A Fight and a Stabbing 01:29:00 Spiritual Awakening at Atwater 01:36:00 The SMU Program 01:44:00 Meeting Kodak Black 01:50:00 The Horrors of the SMU 01:55:00 Texas Syndicate Rivalry 02:00:00 Life After the SMU 02:00:04 The SMU Experience 02:02:30 Coming Home and New Beginnings 02:04:55 Current Life and Outreach _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBick
What if the way back to yourself isn't through more information, more spirituality, or more thinking, but through your body?In this grounding episode of the High Vibin' It Podcast, Kelsey Aida and Lynnsey Robinson sit down with Mingtong Gu, internationally recognized Qigong teacher, healer, and founder of The Chi Center, to explore what it means to come home to your body.Mingtong shares his personal journey from illness and disconnection to discovering Qigong and realizing that the body can become a place of healing, presence, and connection. Together, they explore why so many people feel disconnected from their bodies, how technology and AI are changing our relationship with reality, and why embodiment may be more important than ever.They dive into Mingtong's concept of the three worlds: the mental world, the digital world, and the real world of the body. They discuss the importance of feeling instead of constantly thinking, spending time in nature, and creating a deeper relationship with the body.Mingtong also guides Kelsey and Lynnsey through an embodied meditation designed to help listeners reconnect with their bodies and experience a deeper sense of presence.If you've been feeling disconnected, overstimulated, or stuck in your head, this conversation is an invitation to slow down, feel, and come home to yourself.✨ What You'll Discover:Why your body is essential to healing and self-discoveryThe three worlds: mental, digital, and realHow technology and AI can disconnect us from embodimentWhy the body isn't something to escape or controlHow nature and presence can bring you back to yourselfWhy embodiment matters in the age of AIHow to build a deeper relationship with your bodyA guided meditation for reconnecting with your body✨ The Embodied MeditationMingtong guides listeners through an Initiation Meditation centered around three powerful reminders:Without this body, I do not exist as a human being.Without this body, I cannot experience life as a human being.Without this body, my soul cannot evolve in this lifetime.The meditation invites you to move beyond labels, stories, and overthinking and reconnect with a deeper sense of presence, wholeness, and aliveness.✨ Want More?In the extended Patreon conversation, Mingtong shares more about his personal connection to Columbus, Ohio, his relationship with the digital world, Chinese historical films, creativity and AI, and how he personally balances the mental, digital, and real worlds.Join us on Patreon for early access, extended episodes, exclusive oracle card readings, bonus content, and behind-the-scenes fun—all for just a few bucks a month.

Everyone's talking about nervous system work right now, and honestly most of it splits into two camps. The woo, spiritual side over here, and the grounded, practical side over there.Alex Eden meets you right in the middle
Why do we return to the same emotional patterns even when we genuinely want something different? Why can peace feel uncomfortable? Why do some people miss relationships, jobs, routines, or situations they desperately wanted to leave? And what if the answer has less to do with willpower than we think? In this episode of Elevate Your Mind, Master Hypnotist and Subconscious Expert Rebecca Wiener McGregor explores the strange relationship between familiarity, the subconscious mind, emotional patterns, identity, and change. What if some of the things you've called personality are actually patterns your subconscious has practiced for years? What if your nervous system sometimes reaches for an old emotional pattern the same way your hand reaches for a light switch in a house you've already moved out of? And what happens when peace, healthy love, receiving, confidence, or success are the unfamiliar experiences? This conversation explores those questions—and one question in particular that may stay with you long after the episode ends: Is this familiar... or is it true? Listen in, and then tell me what you noticed. Asking for a Friend Have a question you've always wanted to ask about the subconscious mind, relationships, confidence, anxiety, money, habits, manifestation, emotional patterns, leadership—or something that feels a little embarrassing or taboo? Send it to me. You can absolutely be Asking for a Friend. Your question may inspire a future episode of Elevate Your Mind. _________________________________________________________ ✨ Connect with Rebecca Wiener McGregor

A gentle invitation to slow down for five minutes and remember the quiet that has always been living inside you. Hosted by Ava Chen, this Whisper Minutes episode offers a soft place to land when the day has felt heavy, busy, or full of noise. There is nothing to do here. Nothing to figure out. Just breath, stillness, and a steady voice reminding you that you are already welcome exactly as you are.In this short practice, you are guided to set the weight down, soften the body, and listen for the quiet beneath the noise. You are invited to notice that stillness has never asked anything of you. It does not require perfection, productivity, or a finished to-do list. It only needs you to notice that it is here. From there, the practice widens into a slow, breathing meditation on returning, on welcoming yourself home, and on the quiet you can carry with you long after the episode ends.This meditation is part of the Whisper Minutes series on Your Quiet Moment, where each episode offers a short, voice-only companion for the moments in your day when you need a softer place to be.Chapters:00:00 Welcome Into the Quiet00:34 Setting Down the Weight01:13 The Quiet Beneath the Noise01:55 A Place That Rests in You02:45 Breath as a Quiet Companion03:22 Coming Home to YourselfTake this with you.

There’s a hilarious babysitting story doing the rounds from Instagram user @angi.jamz. She says she was booked to babysit until 5PM, so naturally, that’s the time she planned to pack up and leave. But then the parents messaged her to say they wouldn’t be coming home until 2AM! Angi told them she couldn’t stay that late and would have to leave at the agreed time. That’s when the parents hit her with: “We were telling you, not asking you!” And that has sparked the BIG question: If someone books you to babysit until 5PM, can they just tell you they’re coming home at 2AM or do they need to actually ASK if you’re available?

What yoga teaches us about devotion, discipline, and returning to ourselves through daily practice.What does it really mean to have a spiritual practice?In yoga philosophy, the word sadhana refers to a dedicated spiritual practice — the daily, repeated devotion of returning to yourself, your truth, and something greater than you.But sadhana does not have to be complicated. It does not have to look like a perfect morning routine, an hour-long meditation, or a daily yoga practice on the mat.Sadhana is less about performance and more about relationship.It is the practice of showing up again and again.It is how we remember who we are beneath the noise, roles, expectations, distractions, and patterns that pull us away from ourselves.In this episode of The Midlife Purpose Project, we explore why sadhana matters, especially in midlife. This is a season when many women begin to question who they are, what matters, what no longer fits, and how they want to live the next chapter of their lives.Sadhana gives us a way to listen inward.It helps us slow down, reconnect with the body, observe the mind, build self-trust, and live with more peace, clarity, purpose, and inner alignment.This episode is also a reminder that yoga is not confined to the mat.Yoga is a living practice.It is how we think, speak, act, choose, respond, and return.Your sadhana may include meditation, breathwork, prayer, journaling, mantra, movement, silence, time in nature, or simply a few intentional breaths before beginning your day.The form matters less than the devotion behind it.Sadhana is the practice that keeps bringing you home.In This Episode, We ExploreWhat sadhana means in yoga philosophyWhy daily spiritual practice mattersHow sadhana helps us come home to ourselvesWhy yoga is more than movement or something we do on a matHow practice helps us listen inward and reconnect with inner wisdomWhy sadhana is not about perfection, performance, or rigid disciplineHow small daily practices can build self-trustWhy midlife is a powerful time to create or return to spiritual practiceHow breathwork, meditation, journaling, prayer, mantra, and movement can become sadhanaWhy returning again and again is the real practiceReflection Questions From This EpisodeWhat helps me feel connected to myself?What helps me remember what matters?What practices bring me back to my body, breath, and heart?Where am I making spiritual practice too complicated?What would a simple, sustainable sadhana look like in this season of life?What am I devoted to becoming, remembering, or returning to?How can I bring yoga into the way I live, not just what I do on the mat?Simple Sadhana PracticeChoose one small practice you can return to daily.It might be three conscious breaths.A hand on your heart.A short meditation.A few lines of journaling.A prayer.A mantra.A walk outside.A moment of silence before you reach for your phone.Let it be simple enough that you can actually return to it.The power of sadhana is not in doing something perfectly.The power is in returning.Again and again.164: Balance Is a Myth: What Yoga Teaches Us About Wobbling Through LifeAbout Katie FarinasKatie Farinas is a midlife coach, yoga teacher, and spiritual guide who helps women navigate midlife with clarity, peace, purpose, and empowerment.

If July was all about joy, August feels like an invitation to slow down and savor it.I like to think of August as the “Sunday of summer.” The pace feels a little softer, the long days are still here, and there's an opportunity to pause, breathe, and enjoy the fruits of all our work.This month on the Habit Thrive Podcast, I want to explore something many of us struggle with: Rest.We often treat rest like a reward we'll get to once everything else is done. But what if rest isn't something we earn? What if it's an important part of restoration?On episode #216 today, I'm inviting you to begin thinking differently about rest and to consider what rest actually feels like in your body and mind. I'll also guide you through a relaxing Rest Inquiry meditation that you can do right in the middle of your day—not just when you're getting ready for bed.You can do it sitting outside, in your favorite chair, on a walk, or wherever you feel comfortable. The goal is simply to pause, soften, and remind your body that it's okay to slow down.So, welcome to August. This month, we're giving ourselves permission to rest, restore, and enjoy a little more of the “Sunday of summer.”xoxoLorrieLoving the show? Let's connect!

The People Who Shape Us The people who leave the deepest mark on our lives rarely do it with grand gestures. More often, they are parents, mentors, teachers, coaches and friends whose quiet encouragement shapes who we become. Dr. Bethany Meighen has spent her life learning from people like these—and becoming one herself. As President of Concord University, she now helps prepare a new generation of students while preserving the close-knit community that makes Concord distinctive. In this warm and thoughtful conversation, Bethany reflects on the mentors who invested in her, the lessons they passed along and why meaningful influence is often found in small acts of grace, encouragement and care. Why This Episode Matters The people who shape our lives rarely do it with grand gestures. They do it through small, faithful acts of encouragement, grace and care—and if you're navigating a season of change, this conversation is a gentle reminder that you can be that person for someone else. About Our Wise Guest: Dr. Bethany Meighen Dr. Bethany Meighen serves as President of Concord University in Athens, West Virginia. After more than a decade working within the University of North Carolina System, she returned home to West Virginia to lead a public university devoted to changing lives and responding to the needs of its region. A passionate advocate for servant leadership, student success and first-generation college students, Bethany believes leadership is less about authority than it is about helping others flourish. Her perspective has been shaped by family members and mentors who modeled sacrifice, humility, courage and care. She and her husband are raising three sons. Although Bethany carries the responsibility of leading a university, she considers being a wife and mother her most important role. Wisdom Resources to Explore

Seeking validation isn't just about chasing likes. It's the part of us that needs approval, wants to belong, and feel accepted. But does it come at a cost? In this episode, we unpack the subtle ways validation-seeking still shows up in our everyday lives, especially as gay men who learned early to scan, adapt, perform, and manage how we're perceived. We talk about the difference between healthy feedback and outsourcing your self-worth, and what it actually looks like to build self-trust in real life. In this episode, we discuss: What validation-seeking actually looks like The difference between caring what people think and letting their opinion become a verdict on your worth Why self-trust requires tolerating discomfort, disappointment, and disapproval How we're each still learning to come back to ourselves in more honest, grounded ways Self-trust doesn't mean you stop caring what people think- it means their reaction no longer gets to decide who you are.

If you've ever believed a breakup has to become a war, this conversation is your proof it doesn't — and a real-time map for love, and end, with consciousness. People told Celinne and Nathan their relationship was a bad idea. She wanted children; he already had two grown daughters and wasn't sure he wanted to start again. They chose each other anyway — and a year after intentionally ending it, they're still family. They met on the other side of Celinne's own rock bottom, and what they built together is what most people are never taught is possible: a relationship dated in radical transparency and loved without possession. When the season closed, they ended it on purpose instead of bracing for it to happen to them — a clean ending that left nothing unsaid. In this conversation, Celinne and Nathan walk through the three phases of a conscious relationship: courting, love, and uncoupling. You'll hear how they named a dealbreaker out loud in the first weeks, how they met each other's triggers with curiosity, and what it looked like to design an ending that left them both more whole. It's for anyone who's ever been stuck in a relationship they couldn't quite name or leave. ON THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Meet Nathan and the premise — three phases of one relationship, not a timeline 04:15 Hear Nathan's "three-month pattern" — and the moment Celinne named it 08:00 Learn the line that took the pressure off courting: "if I'm available, I'll pick up" 14:50 Discover the "define family" moment — naming a dealbreaker early without projection 23:30 Sit with the in-person visit that didn't spark — and why the truth saved it 48:30 Unpack the "crunch" code word for addressing friction before it hardens 56:45 Hear the real measure of a relationship: "I could be fully Nathan and I was loved" 1:00:45 Reframe the ending — not a terminal disease, but limited, precious time 1:11:00 Walk through the conscious uncoupling — the 28-day no-contact, nothing left unsaid KEY IDEAS: ✨ Name the dealbreaker out loud, early: On an early call, Celinne named wanting children; Nathan already had his. Instead of hiding the mismatch until they were attached, they put it on the table and stayed curious about it. The thing most couples avoid until it's too late became the foundation they built on. ✨ Meet a trigger with curiosity: When something felt off, they got curious instead of building a case. Celinne's move was to voice her intuition without projection — telling Nathan she'd felt his energy shift and asking whether he'd felt it too, opening the door rather than laying blame. That single reframe dropped the defenses instead of raising them. ✨ An ending can be designed, not survived: They stopped treating the finish line as a catastrophe happening to them and started authoring it. A 28-day no-contact window, scheduled check-ins, hard conversations until nothing was left unsaid. A clean heartbreak that took no hostages. ✨ The real measure is who you get to be inside it: Nathan's marker of a great relationship was simple — he liked the man he was in it. In his words: "I literally could be fully Nathan and I was loved." That's the standard worth holding your own relationships to.

Letha Sandison, CEO + Founder, Four Moons Spa A lifelong creative and service-driven visionary, her work has always centered around creating spaces that help people feel more seen, supported, and inspired. Before founding Four Moons, Letha lived in Uganda, where she ran an NGO supporting pediatric cancer patients and their families—an experience that deeply shaped her understanding of healing, human connection, and the power of community care. Upon returning home, she envisioned a new kind of wellness space: one where beauty, healing, artistry, and meaningful connection could coexist under one roof. Under her leadership, Four Moons has evolved into more than a spa. It is a wellness playground and community gathering place designed to help people slow down, reconnect to themselves, and experience wellness as a way of life. Through thoughtful details, transformative experiences, and a deeply human approach to hospitality, Letha continues to shape Four Moons as a space where ritual becomes a return to self. Outside of Four Moons, she finds inspiration in travel with family and loved ones, painting, and all things art and design. For her, self-care looks like daily morning and evening rituals that support a conscious and mindful life. She feels most lit up when creating art, connecting with interesting people, and exploring the world with family and friends. Connect with Letha: Instagram socials: @fourmoonsspa and @lethasandison LinkedIn: @lethasandison Episode Summary: Lyndsay Dowd sits down with Letha Sandison, founder of Four Moons, a wellness "playground" in Encinitas, California, built for slowing down and reconnecting. Letha shares how nearly a decade running an NGO in Uganda — creating a fashion line that funded chemotherapy for pediatric cancer patients — shaped her belief that self-care isn't a once-a-year luxury but a daily necessity. She and Lindsay dig into why wellness has become a critical leadership tool, what sets Four Moons apart from a traditional spa (community programming, "healers and mystics," makers markets, women's tables), and why prescriptive wellness advice ("meditate for 30 minutes or you're failing") often backfires. Letha closes with a look at Four Moons' upcoming at-home ritual product line and her hope that listeners give themselves permission to be honest about what they actually need. Key Takeaways: - Self-care isn't a treat for your birthday — it's daily fuel that shows up in how you lead and show up for others. - Working harder doesn't make you better. It just burns you out faster. - Wellness works best when it's a two-way street: healers with formal training paired with more intuitive, esoteric support. - Rigid wellness rules ("you must meditate 30 minutes a day") can make people feel like failures. Start small and build the muscle instead.

After 150 episodes, something has become incredibly clear to me. I've spent more than twenty-two years helping people transform their lives through hypnosis and subconscious change. That work continues to be at the heart of everything I do. But I've realized I'm fascinated by something even bigger. The human mind. Why do we become who we become? Why do certain experiences stay with us? How does the subconscious shape our relationships, leadership, creativity, confidence, habits, money, gratitude, and the lives we create? In this special 150th episode of Elevate Your Mind, I'm sharing why the podcast is evolving, what you can expect in the future, and the kinds of conversations I can't wait to explore with you. If you've ever been curious about psychology, neuroscience, hypnosis, manifestation, emotional healing, leadership, creativity, habits, or the subconscious mind, I think you're going to feel right at home here. If you enjoy the episode, I'd be so grateful if you subscribed, left a review, and shared it with someone who loves understanding the human mind. ✨ Connect with Rebecca Wiener McGregor
Signs a one year deal. Are you excited about Clowney coming back ?
Hour 1 - Clowney is BACK, Astros trade deadline and Headlines
— In a world that constantly pulls our attention outward—toward achievement, productivity, technology, and endless distractions—many of us have become strangers to the very place we live: our own bodies. We search for peace, healing, and fulfillment outside ourselves, while feeling increasingly disconnected from our inner wisdom. But what if the body is not a problem to solve? What if it is the doorway home? Today, we explore the profound relationship between embodiment, healing, and awakening with Master Mingtong Gu. Together, we'll discuss how reconnecting with the body can help us move beyond stress, anxiety, and exhaustion; access deeper vitality and resilience; and rediscover the wisdom, power, and purpose that have been within us all along. This conversation is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and remember that perhaps the journey we are seeking is not about becoming someone new—but about coming home to who we already are. Valeria sits with Master Mingtong Gu — He is the author of "Coming Home to Embodied Awakening: Reclaim Your Body, Power, and Purpose in an Age of AI." Master Mingtong Gu is a globally recognized teacher and healer bringing ancient wisdom to humanity's most urgent modern crisis: our disconnection from our own bodies. Named Qigong Master of the Year, founder of The Chi Center and the 150-acre Southwest Sanctuary for Embodied Wisdom, he has empowered 50,000+ seekers across 47 countries through Wisdom Healing Qigong – a practice he trained in at China's famous "medicine-less" hospital under Grandmaster Dr. Pang Ming, where thousands healed from "incurable" conditions through energy alone. Featured at Wisdom 2.0, Esalen, Omega, and PBS, his new book, Coming Home to Embodied Awakening, offers a map for reclaiming power, presence, and fulfillment in the age of AI.

Do you go silent mid-argument and only find the words hours later in the shower? Stay in a situationship you can't end? Become whoever they need that week until you can't find your own taste anymore? In this vulnerable solo episode of The Sabrina Zohar Show, Sabrina unpacks the freeze, fawn, and flop behaviors that get mislabeled as being chill, low maintenance, or the "cool girl." She explains why people-pleasing is really self-abandonment, why going blank isn't you being broken, and why the avoidant "they don't care" story is a lie we tell ourselves to feel better. Through raw personal stories about chasing older men, buying concert tickets to be chosen, and finally coming home to herself, Sabrina reframes these patterns as survival skills you can actually change.
