Signs a one year deal. Are you excited about Clowney coming back ?

The Star Wars movies have spawned a series of spin-off TV shows. One of them is called Andor.  In it, rebels (who are actually the good guys) are plotting against the evil Empire who keeps trying to expand its grip. It's appetite for darkness and control seem insatiable. In Season 2, there is a moving […]

From crack addiction and the cartel to spiritual freedom, Austin Rampt's extraordinary story is one of destruction, survival, surrender and ultimately coming home to himself.Austin took his first drink at just thirteen years old. By fifteen, he was addicted to opiate painkillers, and by seventeen, he was smoking crack cocaine. His addiction led to overdoses, repeated attempts at rehabilitation, the accidental destruction of his family home and a devastating relapse after nine years of sobriety.After being given the choice between rehabilitation and prison, Austin left rehab after just six days, boarded a plane and escaped to Mexico. There, he found himself surrounded by drugs and drawn into the dangerous world of the cartel.But behind the appearance of money, excess and partying was a man sitting alone in a room, drunk and high, crying because he missed his children.In this deeply honest conversation, Austin and Jason explore what addiction is really trying to soothe, why outward success cannot heal an internal wound and how the gifts of sobriety can sometimes take us away from the very practices that made sobriety possible.Jason also opens up about his own experiences with cocaine, cannabis, shame and self-destruction—and the difficult journey of learning to see addiction not as a moral failing, but as an attempt to escape unbearable pain.Together, they explore:• How childhood experiences can shape addiction and self-worth• The danger of believing achievement will make us worthy• Why external success can conceal profound internal suffering• Austin's experiences with addiction and the cartel in Mexico• Jason's own journey through cocaine use, cannabis and psychosis• The importance of connection, honesty and intimate relationships• Why punishment and the war on drugs fail to address the roots of addiction• The spiritual foundations of the Twelve Steps• What it truly means to surrender to a power greater than ourselves• How our greatest failures can become the foundation of our service• Why healing may be less about becoming somebody new and more about uncovering who we have always beenAustin is the author of One Last Hit: The Remarkable True Story of an Addict's Journey to Find Himself. His experiences now allow him to speak openly about recovery, fatherhood, spirituality and the possibility of building a meaningful life after complete destruction.As Austin explains:“My journey of healing has not been to add anything to me. It's been to unwind all the things that were essentially not me.”Whether you have experienced addiction personally, love somebody who has, or recognise the ways we all reach for things outside ourselves to change how we feel inside, this conversation offers a powerful reminder:Surrender is not always defeat.Sometimes, surrender is where freedom begins.CONNECT WITH AUSTIN RAMPTWebsite and book:https://www.onelasthitbook.comCONNECT WITH JASON AND SOUL SYNCWebsite:https://www.jasonpaulmedium.comYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@jasonpaulsoulsyncSubscribe to the Soul Sync newsletter at the bottom of the Jason Paul website.For enquiries:hello@jasonpaulmedium.comIf this conversation resonated with you, please follow Soul Sync, share the episode with somebody who may need to hear it and leave a rating or review.

— 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.  To learn more about Master Mingtong Gu and his work, please visit: https://mingtonggu.com/

Rachel Hunt, founder of Freedom School Co. and host of the Cyclebreakers Podcast, joins Amy Pons to discuss reconnecting to Indigenous roots, ancestral healing, manifestation through a trauma-informed lens, and cultural appropriation.Amy and Rachel explore the "collective remembering" happening right now — the magic, intuition, and ancestral wisdom that gets trained out of us as children, and how reclaiming it can reshape our relationship to ourselves and the world. They dig into the power of ancestral land, honoring the places we live even when they aren't our own, and how to engage respectfully with cultures other than our own without appropriating them.The conversation also unpacks the physical and emotional toll of ignoring your calling — from toxic workplaces to health crises — as a catalyst for spiritual awakening, and offers a trauma-informed take on manifestation that goes deeper than "ask, believe, receive." Rachel closes with candid guidance on navigating cultural appropriation in spiritual spaces and staying rooted in authenticity.Whether you're on your own path of reconnection or simply curious about the intersection of trauma, healing, and Indigenous wisdom, this episode offers real, grounded insight into unlocking your own magic.0:00 — Introduction: meet Rachel Hunt, indigenous employee empowerment consultant & Cyclebreakers podcast host1:40 — What the Cyclebreakers podcast amplifies; creating safe space for Indigenous voices3:28 — Unlocking childhood "magic" and reclaiming intuitive gifts after corporate life4:56 — Rachel's reconnection journey to her Indigenous lineage and ancestry7:23 — Honoring the land you live on vs. cultural appropriation10:12 — The power of ancestral land connection and privilege of access14:07 — Why society disconnects us from magic and the "collective remembering"17:28 — Rachel's call from Creator during a ceremony in Tulum, Mexico19:10 — Dark nights of the soul, free will, and destiny/blueprint23:22 — Hitting rock bottom in the body: toxic workplace, illness as awakening27:16 — Overview of Freedom School: Indigenous empowerment, subconscious & somatic reprogramming31:48 — Radical trust in self, somatic intelligence, and intuition34:47 — Rachel's LinkedIn post: "Manifestation is everywhere, and a lot of it misses the point"40:15 — Discerning true desires vs. surface-level wants41:06 — How to avoid cultural appropriation and find authentic spirituality44:25 — Where to find Rachel: LinkedIn, Instagram (@freedomrach), Cyclebreakers Podcast, freedomschool.co45:10 — Closing remarksConnect with Rachel HuntLinkedIn: Rachel HuntInstagram: @freedomrachPodcast: The Cyclebreakers Podcast (new episodes every Thursday — YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts)Website: freedomschool.coConnect with Amy PonsLinkedIn: Amy PonsInstagram: @women_making_moves and utm_magicschoolWebsite: Unlock the MagicWomen Making Moves is for personal use only and general information purposes, the show host cannot guarantee the accuracy of any statements from guests or the sufficiency of the information.

As we wrap up our July Joy Series, we're exploring one final question:If the purpose of life is to be happy…why aren't we happier?After spending the month immersed in the science of happiness and the wisdom of books like The Book of Joy, The How of Happiness, and The Art of Happiness, I've noticed something unexpected—I really am happier. But is it because I've been reading about happiness? Or because I've been putting simple happiness practices into action?In this episode, we explore why happiness isn't something we wait for or someday arrive at. It's something we intentionally practice through our daily habits, routines, and rituals. From mindfulness and gratitude to movement, meditation, and the Habit Thrive Cup, we'll discover that lasting happiness is found in the ordinary moments we choose to notice.We'll also reflect on the Dalai Lama's belief that "the purpose of our life is to be happy" and consider a different perspective: perhaps our purpose isn't simply to be happy, but to seek happiness—and to become someone who creates more happiness for ourselves and everyone around us.As we close this special series, I hope you're reminded that happiness doesn't require a perfect life. It grows one intentional choice at a time.So, ask yourself: What is one small habit I can practice today that helps me seek—and create—more happiness?xoxoLorrieIn this episode:The How of Happiness by Sonja LyubomirskyLoving the show?

In this episode of Up Your Total Glow, I am joined by Natasha Ramlall, an Embodied Integration Coach who supports high-achieving women through what she calls “Identity Rupture” moments — those times in life when something shifts so profoundly that we no longer recognise ourselves in the mirror of our own lives.These moments can happen through divorce, illness, burnout, loss, major life transitions, or even a quieter realisation that the life we created no longer reflects who we truly are.But what if these moments are not a sign that something has gone wrong?What if they are invitations?Invitations to reconnect with ourselves beyond the roles we play, the expectations we carry, and the identities we have built along the way.In this conversation, Natasha and I explore:✨ What identity rupture really means and why it can feel so disorienting✨ Why high-achieving women often struggle when their old identity no longer fits✨ The difference between intellectually understanding change and truly embodying it✨ How the body and nervous system hold wisdom during times of transformation✨ Rebuilding self-trust when life feels uncertain✨ What it means to move from who we think we should be towards who we truly areOne of the things I love about Natasha's work is that she does not simply help people analyse their struggles. She guides them back into a deeper relationship with themselves — helping them reconnect with their body, their intuition, and their own inner knowing.Because sometimes we are not lost.Sometimes we are simply being invited to release the version of ourselves that we have outgrown.If you are navigating a transition, questioning your direction, or feeling like the old version of yourself no longer fits, this conversation is for you.You can connect with Natasha and explore her resources here:Free Audio: https://humanistcoaching.eo.page/safety-pulseWebsite: https://www.humanistcoaching.ca/If you would like to explore your own unique health and wellbeing patterns, you can also take my free Vitality Imbalance Quiz here:https://www.ithriveforhealth.com/ayurvedic-dosha-quiz/And remember:You are love.You are light.And you are already whole.Much love, and keep glowing.

This week we return to one of our most beloved conversations from the archives, my talk with Dr. Mallory Hanfling, a fellow later in life queer woman, therapist, and the creator of the term Firefly. Mallory shares her story with such honesty. She married a kind man, built a genuine friendship with him, and still felt that something was quietly wrong. Like so many of us, she searched everywhere for an answer. Individual therapy, couples therapy, sex therapy, endless blood work, and doctors who offered birth control and even exploratory surgery. She was looking for a physiological explanation for a truth her spirit already knew. She is queer. Together we explore why the question "have you ever considered your sexuality" is so rarely asked, how compulsory heterosexuality teaches us to dismiss our own knowing, and why women are socialized to carry discomfort quietly rather than speak up for their own pleasure and peace. We also talk about opening a marriage as a bargaining stage of grief, what actually happens when a third person is brought into a struggling relationship, and the moment Mallory chose to end her marriage with love rather than let it end in heartbreak. And of course, we talk about fireflies. Mallory coined the term as a gender and sexuality expansive alternative to late bloomer language. Fireflies spend most of their lives underground, and when they finally emerge as their most authentic selves, they glow and bring joy to others. You do not need to have all the labels figured out to belong. If you are somewhere in the metamorphosis, this conversation is for you. Dr. Mallory Hanfling is a therapist in Philadelphia, licensed in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Indiana. Her practice, Courage to Grow Counseling, serves the queer community with a focus on identity development, coming out, and connecting with one's most authentic self. Her doctoral research explores how community mitigates the impact of compulsory heterosexuality on the Firefly identity. Mallory's resources

Why is it important to consciously connect with Nature and recognize that She is a living sentient being? 2. What are the health benefits of being in a felt communion with Nature? 3. A few highlights from my own journey into Nature Reunion 4. Some easy but powerful practices for Nature reconnection 5. Our body as part of Nature—treating ourselves with mindful self-compassion and respect. 6. Coming Home to Nature means being deeply aware of, and connected to, the wisdom and healing power of Mother Earth and our own bodies. 7. My book, both kindle and paper back will be released on August 1st. The kindle e-book version is available now. What if the roots of suffering are deeper than we'vebeen taught? Is there hope when hope for the hopeless? When life fractured in ways she could notintellectually solve, Dr. Sharnael — naturopathic physician and consciousnessteacher — was called beyond logic, beyond theology, beyond science — intodirect encounter. Enter Iboga. Often referred to as “Grandfather Iboga” and known asthe “Mount Everest of plant medicines,” this“The Truth Hunter,” African root functions as a powerful neurological andpsychological interrupter, disrupting entrenched patterns of illusion,compulsion, and genetic survival programming. In this deeply personal journey, Dr. Sharnael shareshow one of the most intense and misunderstood plant medicines on earth became amirror — illuminating unresolved grief and the unconscious patterns shapingidentity, while guiding her from darkness and sorrow into renewed hope,courage, love, and joy. At a time when suicide rates remain high and opioidaddiction devastates families worldwide, Iboga has drawn attention for itsunique interaction with opioid receptors and its growing exploration inaddiction recovery research. It is also being studied for its potential relevance indepression, PTSD, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's,Parkinson's disease, Lyme-related neurological complications, and other complexnervous system disorders. Traditionally, the root bark has also been examinedfor antimicrobial and antiparasitic properties. Part personal journey, part clinical guide, GrandfatherIboga serves readers seeking Truth, transformation, and understanding. Written by a doctor who became the patient, this bookis for anyone navigating loss, addiction, neurological complexity, and foranyone seeking Divine Truth where conventional paths have fallen short I almost didn't write these books. It would have beeneasier to stay quiet. Easier not to speak publicly about grief. Trauma. Plantmedicine. Consciousness. Easier to protect my reputation than enterconversations that are complex, controversial, and often misunderstood. But silence felt dishonest. And some stories are meant to be told. Today, I am honored to officially announce the releaseof two deeply personal and professional works: The Science of Miracles Workbook and Grandfather Iboga – A Personal Journey Through Grief,Trauma Healing, and Soul Transformation These are not just books. They are lived experience. Together, these two books represent the bridge I havealways stood on — science and spirit, clinical understanding and consciousness,measurable biology and Divine design. There were moments I nearly stayed silent. But if even one person finds hope in these pages… itwas worth it. Presales are now open. You can order both books here:https://www.drsharnael.com/shop The Science of Miracles Workbook This workbook was born from years of studyingconsciousness, neuroscience, biofeedback, and the unseen laws that shape ourphysical reality.

Miracles and Mentors with Staci McCormack (Season 6 | Episode 249) Opening the Nest to New Discoveries Welcome back, fellow Open Nesters! In our latest episode of season six, we are once again trading the concept of an “empty” nest for an open one, opening the doors to vibrant health, renewed relationships, and deep spirituality. Today, I am thrilled to share the insights from our deeply soulful guest, Staci McCormack, an author, retreat leader, and life coach. Staci joined us to discuss the incredible, and sometimes incredibly messy, journey through the second half of life. She reminded us that this stage is an opportunity to step into our wisdom and embrace the wide-open possibilities ahead. Her story is a beautiful testament to the fact that while this period can feel disorienting, it is ultimately a profound invitation to rediscover our authentic selves. Empty nest marriage transition Finding purpose after kids leave Changing friendships in midlife Midlife spiritual growth Staci McCormack author Trudging Through the Muck During our conversation, Staci beautifully articulated a feeling that I know so many of us can relate to: the realization that we’ve spent decades caught in a relentless cycle. She described this early phase of adulthood as a treadmill of running, striving, struggling, and searching. Staci shared a poignant memory of standing in her living room in her mid-forties, looking at a rather dull Christmas tree while her teenage son entered his “grunt stage,” and realizing she was merely playing out a theatrical script. It was a powerful awakening to the fact that we cannot fully experience the “new” until we are willing to trudge through the “muck” of our established, often exhausting routines. The Spiritual Symbolism of Snakes The universe has a funny way of forcing us to pay attention when we ignore the signs that it’s time for a change, and for Staci, that wake-up call came in the form of actual snakes. She shared a truly wild situation that manifested in her life: her home became infested with hundreds of them! At first, they were a terrifying nuisance that sent her running for the hills, but as she deepened her spiritual understanding, she realized they represented a vital metaphor. Just as a serpent must shed its skin to unfold and grow, we too must shed our outdated identities and the protective layers we’ve built up over the years to truly become ourselves. Navigating this massive shedding process is rarely something we can do alone, yet Staci highlighted a critical gap in our modern culture: a stark lack of mentors for this specific season. When she found herself surrounded by snakes and overwhelmed by the shifting dynamics in her marriage and parenting, she realized she desperately needed navigational tools and a wise female guide. Unfortunately, she couldn’t easily find a mentor to help her understand why her voice suddenly felt different or why she couldn’t remember what used to bring her joy as a child. This gap is exactly why we have these conversations—to build a community where we can share wisdom and support each other through our personal evolutions. Welcoming Unexpected Miracles Sometimes, when we finally surrender control and admit we are in over our heads, the universe delivers exactly what we need—even if it’s not the traditional mentor we envisioned. For Staci, her miracle arrived in the completely unexpected form of a puppy. After neighbors gifted her teenage son a new dog, Staci and her husband were initially resistant, questioning their capacity to take on a pet during such a chaotic transition. Ironically, this very puppy turned out to be a natural hunter that methodically cleared the snakes from their property, one by one. It was a beautiful, humorous lesson in releasing our grip on how we think our problems should be solved and remaining open to unexpected forms of grace. Coming Home to Ourselves With the snakes gone and the metaphorical air cleared, Staci and her husband were able to embark on the crucial work of coming “home” to themselves. They recognized that after forty years together, they were two completely different individuals than when they first met, and they needed to intentionally redesign their relationship. This meant giving each other the literal and emotional space to reconnect with the girl and boy they once were, taking time apart for personal discovery, and establishing a new commitment to communicate openly. Returning to our authentic selves requires a willingness to step off the treadmill and give our partners the freedom to do the same. Embracing the Wide-Open Life Our conversation with Staci was a vibrant reminder that this stage of life is not a closing chapter, but a wide-open door. As we open ourselves to better relationships with our adult children, our partners, and most importantly, ourselves, we invite endless vitality into our days. If you are feeling lost in the muck or overwhelmed by the shedding of your own skin right now, please know that it is entirely okay to pause, take space, and figure out what lights you up. We are all in this beautiful, messy process of aging and evolving together, and I am so grateful to share this open nest with all of you.

In this opening discourse from Amoda Maa's first seven-day retreat in Europe, Amoda invites us to discover the clear light of being—not as a mystical experience or future achievement, but as the ever-present awareness already here beneath thought, emotion, sensation, and circumstance. Awakening is revealed as a quiet but profound shift: from being defined by the story of "me" to resting in that which is unbound by any story or experience. As the effort to become, improve, reject, or grasp begins to soften, a deeper freedom becomes available—not freedom from life, but freedom within life. This episode also includes an offering of original poetry from Kavi on silence, surrender, and the remembrance that we have never truly left home. Recorded live during the opening session of the seven-day retreat at Koningsteen Center in Belgium in July 2026.

Conductor Alexander Briger has led orchestras all over the world. But his niche occupation is not the only fascinating thing about him. Alex's family history is wild.Alexander Briger has stood in front of musicians all over the world, summoning a gigantic, beautiful noise from them.Classical music was a huge part of Alex's story growing up.He is the nephew of the famous conductor, the late Sir Charles Mackerras; and descended from the so-called "father of Australian music", Isaac Nathan.Another branch of Alex's family tree astonishingly connects him to the man who murdered Rasputin.Rasputin was a Russian peasant and mystic, whose abilities as a faith healer drew him into the inner circle of the Russian Tzars.Fearing his destructive grip on the monarchy, a posse of aristocrats led by Alex's ancestor, Prince Felix Yusupov, drew Rasputin into a trap, luring him to his death in a Saint Petersburg basement in 1916.In recent years, Alex was invited to Russia to conduct a modern opera, coincidentally called and about Rasputin, in a full circle moment.Alex is back in Australia right now as the chief conductor and artistic director of the Australian World Orchestra, the only ensemble of its kind in the world.The Australian World Orchestra is playing in Melbourne on 19 August and in Sydney on 20 August. You can find out more about the orchestra and its performances online.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris.

It is a privilege to welcome singer-songwriter and transgender Belgian/American artist Sam Bettens to Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.  Sam began his career as the frontman for the Belgian rock band K's Choice with his brother Gert. The band grew in popularity in Belgium, the Netherlands, and across Europe and toured across the United States with Alanis Morissette, the Indigo Girls, Tonic, and the Verve Pipe.  Recently, Sam released his first album in 17 years, Coming Home. The album was shaped by 15 years living in East Tennessee, including his full-time firefighter work and his transition. It also marks a new chapter in his recording artist career, as this is his first record in the Country-Americana genre. Recorded in Nashville with producer Tom Bukovac, Coming Home blends classic country and Americana singer-songwriter craft. It's a record meant to be lived with, vinyl on the turntable, stories unfolding slowly, and a voice that carries the weight of experience.On this episode of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Sam Bettens shared K's Choice's origin story, shifting into Americana and country music, and reimagining K's Choice hit single, “Not An Addict,” 30 years later.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.

“The great tragedy for many of us is that in growing up, we become self-made, independent successes who are weighed down with thoughts of the past and worries about the future. We lose touch with our true self, the person God created us to be. We live off-center and alienated from who we really are.” […]

As we begin to wrap up our July Joy Series on the Habit Thrive Podcast, this week's conversation explores one of the most powerful ideas we've discussed all month:Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.Life will always include disappointment, conflict, grief, frustration, and heartache. Those moments are part of being human.But what we do after the pain—that story we tell ourselves, the replaying, the overthinking, the defensiveness—is often where suffering begins.In this episode, we explore how our relationships can become both our greatest source of joy and our greatest opportunity for growth. Every interaction gives us a chance to pause, become more aware of our thoughts, and intentionally choose a response that aligns with the person we're becoming.You'll also hear how this week's conversation connects with last week's episode on rejoicing in the joy of others, why social media can actually become a practice ground for cultivating joy, and how something as ordinary as road rage can teach us about resilience.In this episode, you'll discover:Why pain and suffering are not the same thing.How our thoughts often create more suffering than the original experience.The importance of learning to pause before reacting.Why relationships are one of life's greatest "training grounds" for emotional resilience.How awareness is a sign of growth—even if you don't get it right in the moment.How difficult seasons can expand our appreciation for joy.So, the next time you experience frustration, hurt, or disappointment, pause before adding a story to the moment. Simply notice what's happening. Ask yourself:"Am I experiencing pain… or am I creating suffering?"That small moment of awareness may be the first step toward greater peace, resilience, and joy.xoxoLorrieIn this episode:The How of Happiness by Sonja LyubomirskyLoving the show?

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. If you deal with anxiety, decision paralysis, overthinking, situationships, attachment wounds, or feeling "too much" or "too cold," this one is for you. There is nothing wrong with you, and it's time to stop earning everyone's love except your own.

Go to thecyclingpodcast.comIn episode six of our series taking you behind the scenes of Paul Seixas's début Tour, we look at the 19-year-old's meteoric rise in the context of a sport increasingly obsessed with youth.As Seixas's podium and white jersey bids gather momentum, Daniel Friebe speaks to his first coaches in Lyon about how much of his story does – and doesn't – apply to other aspiring pro riders. We also hear from a top agent and team bosses about why WorldTour outfits are now recruiting riders in their mid-teens, in their desperate search for the next Seixas. Décathlon fought off stiff competition to lock him in when he was just 14 – but now that they have him, why are the French team still having to work hard to rein him in? Their head sports director, Luke Rowe, tells us.

The Hidden Reason You Can't Relax   Why does it take days before you finally relax on vacation? Why do you come home feeling like you need another vacation? In this episode, Rebecca Wiener explores why burnout isn't always caused by your workload and why your subconscious may still be responding to years of responsibility, leadership, and constant preparation.   If you've ever found yourself thinking about work while sitting on the beach, mentally planning next week during dinner on vacation, or wondering why your body can't seem to settle down even when your life is finally good, this conversation is for you.   You'll learn why your subconscious doesn't automatically recognize that life has changed, how invisible vigilance follows many leaders wherever they go, and what it takes for your inner experience to finally match the beautiful life you've built.   This episode explores burnout, overthinking, subconscious patterns, nervous system responses, leadership stress, emotional exhaustion, mental load, vacations, work-life balance, and why lasting change begins beneath conscious awareness.   If this episode resonates with you, subscribe, share it with someone who came to mind while listening, and learn more about Coming Home through the links below.   ________________________________________

How do you find peace within chaos? How do you find a point of stillness? Lisa continues the conversation today with globally recognized teacher and healer Master Mingtong Gu. He brings ancient wisdom to times of crisis through Qigong and other energy practices. Mingtong bridges ancient cultures with modern times and has established Wisdom Healing Qigong as a global movement. Today he talks deeply about Artificial Intelligence and how it can help us discover who we are as humans. We run a risk of the digital taking over, but we must first be aware of our bodies. We are facing a crisis. We must live through the truth of who we are. We can awaken and make our own choices. AI cannot experience human emotions. It is a neutral machine. No machines can replace our consciousness. He talks about how AI can help us discover ourselves. We can learn about our archetypes. It can give us more insight and help us understand why we are struggling. We are humans in our bodies. Until we embody this, we will be lost. AI can help us know ourselves. We must connect with life. We cannot be in fear of AI. This is all our choice.   Master Mingtong Gu has been awarded Qigong Master of the Year. He is founder of The Chi Center and Southwest Sanctuary for Embodied Wisdom. His most recent book is "Coming Home to Embodied Awakening." Master Mingtong Gu invites us to share in a very powerful meditation and Qigong experience during the first segment of the interview. This segment is Part 2. Info: mingtonggu.com

Subscribe at thecyclingpodcast.comThe fifth instalment of our wall-to-wall, behind-the-scenes look at Paul Seixas's début Tour de France begins where Seixas's love affair with cycling and the Tour also started, in Magland, just a few kilometres from the stage 15 finish on the Plateau de Solaison. It was indeed an intense and emotional few days for the 19-year-old, as Daniel Friebe reports in this episode. As always, we hear from team-mates, coaches and opponents, as Seixas underlines his credentials as the man most likely to end Tadej Pogačar's reign. Of course no one is any closer to knowing when that will be, or indeed how Pogačar will fall or abdicate. 

In part one of this final breathwork conversation, Amy and Michelle go deep — into the body, into the emotions, and into the kind of healing that doesn't have a name until you've experienced it.

What if one of the simplest ways to experience more joy wasn't about changing your own life at all?Welcome back to our July Joy Series here on the Habit Thrive Podcast! This month, we've been discovering that joy isn't something we simply wait for—it's something we intentionally notice, cultivate, and create.On Episode #213 this week, we're exploring one of the most powerful (and surprisingly challenging) joy practices of all: celebrating the happiness and success of others.Whether it's a friend sharing exciting news, a family member reaching a milestone, or someone posting vacation photos on social media, it's easy for comparison to sneak in and quietly drain our own happiness.But what if those moments could actually become opportunities to fill our own Habit Thrive Cup?We're chatting about the ancient Buddhist practice of Mudita—the practice of finding genuine joy in another person's joy—and why this simple mindset shift has the power to expand your own happiness.In this episode, we'll explore:Why comparison and envy are such natural human experiences.The ancient practice of Mudita and how it protects us from comparison.Insights from The Book of Joy by the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.Research from positive psychology showing how celebrating others increases our own happiness and life satisfaction.How social media can become a place to practice joy instead of comparison.Simple ways to become a "Joy Detective" and intentionally celebrate the wins of others.How rejoicing in someone else's joy helps fill your own Habit Thrive Cup.This Week's Joy ChallengeThe next time someone shares good news—whether in person, in a text message, or on social media—pause before comparing.Instead:Say, "Good for you."Celebrate with them.Leave a kind comment or ask a thoughtful question.Let yourself genuinely experience their happiness.Notice how it feels in your body. That warm, expansive feeling? That's your Habit Thrive Cup filling.Because joy was never meant to be hoarded—it was always meant to be shared.xoxoLorrieIn this episode:The How of Happiness by Sonja LyubomirskyLoving the show?

This episode is available ad-free on our Friends of the Podcast feed. Subscribe at thecyclingpodcast.comIn episode three of our Tour-long series following the fortunes of French prodigy Paul Seixas, we focus on his first major test on the Col du Tourmalet. It would end up being a highly promising performance by Seixas, but also one that highlighted the dominance of Tadej Pogačar and UAE Team Emirates.Cue some fairly bleak predictions about how much suspense is still left in this Tour, and some soul-searching about the very future of the sport. What can be done to spread wealth and talent more widely across the WorldTour? And, might UAE be poised to sign Seixas and tighten their grip even further?If you don't find definitive answers here, the episode should certainly give you much to ponder.

It's easy to run away from God and live our lives according to our own rules and the world's deceptive ways. No matter how long we've been gone, we can always return home to God in our hearts and He will always welcome us. It is also important that we find a church to call home so that we can have accountability and spiritual family to build us up.

LeBron James didn't just become the most famous athlete on Earth — he became one of its most careful, and occasionally most explosive, political voices. In the most contentious episode of our LeBron series, Dan, Amin and Izzy trace the moments that turned a basketball player into a lightning rod: The Trayvon Martin hoodie photo — and Dan's own take on it at the time, warts and all. The killing of Tamir Rice, and the "I Can't Breathe" shirt that, in the moment, didn't include his name. The ESPYs speech. The White House years, plural. The Bubble. And the legacy that's still being argued over, for better or worse. With firsthand memories from Jemele Hill and Cari Champion, plus a LeBron teammate history conveniently forgot.
