In this episode, I explore how the traditional framework of pashu, vira and divya bhavas can offer a surprisingly practical template for business growth and development. We look at how these stages show up in pricing, visibility, decision-making and leadership — from survival and imitation, through courageous action, to integrated authority. If you've ever wondered why certain growth edges feel uncomfortable (or inevitable), this lens may help you understand exactly where you are and what's required next.

Have you ever felt excluded? Did you scramble to fit in again to avoid being left out? Or take it as an opportunity to see what your own heart and mind was about?   [full text below]   Ep. 443 - Happy Outcast We begin as always  with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! I was a popular kid when I was very young and super cute, But that all went away as I grew up awkward and weird, My ability to make friends disappeared making me destitute, And leaving me open to bullying, loneliness and all the things I feared. I fought against it as best I could, of course, trying to make friends on the sly, If I could just get people away from the crowds, I thought, they'd see I was cool, But it never lasted, the peer pressure was just too strong for them to defy, Something that lost its power over me as a general rule. If nothing you do has any effect on how others treat you, then you're free, I could dress how I liked, act how I liked, and be who I liked, It didn't change the frequency of the bullying, just the ammo they could use on me, But it stopped hitting the same way it once had--my fear and anger no longer spiked. Oddly, it was also a relief to not have to conform anymore, Conformity didn't help and nonconformity didn't hurt, So I chose nonconformity, which is quite a thing to explore, There's a freedom in being a Happy Outcast out in the cold and down in the dirt. I'm not saying it's ideal by any means, community is very meaningful to folks, Myself included, but when that's not an option, finding out who you are alone Is an important discovery to achieve even if it's just the broad strokes, It can grant you self-confidence beyond what you may previously have known. Have you ever felt excluded? Did you scramble to fit in again to avoid being left out? Or take it as an opportunity to see what your own heart and mind was about? Haha Yowza

Compassion and accountability are often seen as opposites in Organizational Behavior Management, but we believe they work best together. We break down how OBM, at its core, is simply ABA applied to organizations and how it can be implemented in ways that feel supportive rather than cold or purely data-driven.We discuss how assessments, data analysis, and feedback can prioritize clarity, honesty, and relationships. From pairing with reinforcement when entering an organization to involving staff in problem-solving and aligning expectations with real-world barriers, we share practical ways to move performance management away from compliance and toward collaboration.We also highlight the importance of values, authentic reinforcement, and listening as foundations of compassionate leadership. When staff are viewed as humans and not just performers, it becomes possible to reduce burnout, increase job satisfaction, and build systems that truly support long-term success.What's Inside:Why compassion and accountability are not opposites in OBMHow to apply core ABA principles to organizations at multiple levelsPractical strategies for compassionate performance managementUsing values, relationships, and authentic reinforcement to drive changeMentioned in This Episode:Compassionate ABA: Enhancing Social Skills, Tolerance, and Trauma-Informed CareEpisode 224: Beyond Compliance: Why Relationships Are the Heart of Compassionate ABAHowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on Instagram

Another Australian is leaving the Warriors on compassionate grounds. Co-captain Mitch Barnett is departing after the upcoming NRL season – a year ahead of his contract expiring. Barnett has a child that requires medical support and he wants to be closer to family. Warriors CEO Cameron George told Mike Hosking it's unfortunate because he's been such a great leader for the club. He says the situation only come to light in the last month or so, and they'd even had some discussions about possibly extending his contract before this.

You are going to love this episode. Today we are going to dive into a teenager's emotional life. I think what makes parenting teens so challenging is dealing with their intense emotions. Sometimes you're the target of their emotional storms and sometimes they turn their emotions inward. You worry about them being depressed or anxious. How many times have we brought up a simple request to our teen, but it turns out to be not so simple because it triggers a huge emotional response? Moms can find themselves avoiding talking about important topics because they don't know how to handle their emotions. I invited Dr. Lisa Damour, the author of The Emotional Lives of Teenagers, to talk about this nuanced subject of teenage emotions. In this episode we focus on her chapter called Managing Emotions, Part One: Helping Teens Express Their Emotions and the following chapter called Managing Emotions, Part Two: Helping Teens Regain Emotional Control Recognized as a thought leader by the American Psychological Association, Lisa Damour, Ph.D., co-hosts the Ask Lisa podcast, writes about adolescents for the The New York Times, appears as a regular contributor to CBS News, works in collaboration with UNICEF, and maintains a clinical practice. She is the author of three New York Times bestsellers, The Emotional Lives of Teenagers: Raising Connected, Capable, and Compassionate Adolescents, Untangled: Guiding Teenage Girls Through the Seven Transitions into Adulthood and Under Pressure: Confronting the Epidemic of Stress and Anxiety in Girls.

Living on Purpose - "Guard Your Anger" -  Maybe we should just skip this one. What do you say? But if you're tempted to gloss over it, it might be the very thing you need most. We have anger problems. And not always the kind we recognize. We've all been wounded by someone's anger. And we've all wounded others with our own. Maybe what we need isn't avoidance—but a little remedial anger rehab. Anger itself isn't evil. It's an emotion God designed—an important response system involving our mind, body, and soul. Ephesians 4:26 tells us to “be angry, and yet do not sin.” That's the tension. That's the challenge. And that's exactly what we see in Jesus. The Gospels clearly show moments when Jesus was angry. His anger wasn't selfish or impulsive. It was purposeful. Compassionate. Rooted in righteousness. There are times when anger is appropriate. Jesus knew that. The real question is this: Am I angry? Why am I angry? Am I angry about the right things? And ultimately— Is my anger rooted in not getting my own way? Or is it rooted in godly compassion? That difference changes everything.

What if addiction isn't a personal failure—but a survival strategy that got stuck on repeat? In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, recovery coach Craig Perra offers a gentler, sharper lens on tech addiction and the inner battles many people hide. This episode is for anyone who looks “fine” on the outside but feels fragmented inside—especially if willpower talk has only deepened shame. You'll hear how Internal Family Systems (parts work) reframes craving as protection, why “curiosity over control” can shift everything, and two practical first steps to begin—without trying to fix yourself overnight. About the Guest: Craig Perra is a recovery coach and co-creator of the Mindful Habits System. He shares a lived, values-based approach to change through parts work, mindfulness, and self-leadership. Episode Chapters: 00:06:21 — Why “tech addiction” is the focus 00:07:20 — Addiction as survival: replacing shame with curiosity 00:10:35 — The downside of fighting “a part of you” 00:12:00 — Hitting a crisis point and choosing a new path 00:13:17 — “Benefits of addiction”: numbing, coping, regulating 00:17:30 — Morals, integrity, and building real capacity to change 00:23:01 — Two gentle first steps: tools + talking to the reactive part Key Takeaways: Ask: “What's the benefit this habit is giving me right now?” Treat the reactive part like a younger self: firm, kind, curious. Use 3 questions: What are you trying to accomplish? What job are you doing? What are you afraid would happen if you stopped? Aim for values + capacity: integrity grows when the nervous system can handle change. Reduce “life friction” the way you'd reduce business friction—less stress, more choice.

It might surprise many of our listeners to learn that compassionate grounds for the early release of superannuation have actually been around for a long time since 1 July 1994, shortly after Australia's modern superannuation system was introduced.And since 1 July 2018, it's the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) that has been responsible for approving these applications.This topic has been attracting a lot of attention lately, and not always for the right reasons. Heightened media coverage, combined with some unfortunate commentary, has led to questions being raised about the integrity of our profession. In this episode of RiskBites, we unpack what's really going on. We separate fact from fiction, talk through what compassionate release actually involves, and share practical guidance for navigating an area that's now under close scrutiny. The goal is simple: to help our members feel informed, confident, and clear about their responsibilities in a rapidly evolving space.  

So, how do you feel about being sad? A weakness, is it? Or a much-needed release? Do you worry about opening the floodgates even just a tad? [full text below] Ep. 442 - Sad Happy We begin as always  with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! Read the first letter of each line And you'll see a message Hidden like a secret sign. So, how do you feel about being sad? A weakness, is it? Or a much-needed release? Do you worry about opening the floodgates even just a tad? How about starting with just the tiniest dose of Sad? An amount so small it's something anyone can process? Purpose being, to get you accustomed to it without it feeling too bad. People need a chance to acclimate, to get over the initial stress, Yet not so slowly that they can't let go of any of the pain they had. Really, the idea is not to make you feel sad for sadness' sake, As Sad, like any mood, is not the goal, it's just a tool, a way to deal with life, How about something only mildly sad like a choice you did or didn't make. Read a sad story, listen to a sad song, or just contemplate inhumanity and fear, Acknowledge the absurd humor of it all so you don't wallow in sorrow, Hone your endurance, and you'll be able to stop crying after a single tear. Haha Yowza

In this sermon from Dwelling House Church, Pastor Jeremiah Genin teaches on Jesus as the Compassionate One, revealing the heart of Christ toward the broken, the weary, and the overlooked. This message invites us to see compassion not as a personality trait, but as a defining characteristic of who Jesus is and how He interacts with people. Through Scripture, Pastor Jeremiah shows how Jesus was consistently moved with compassion—healing the sick, restoring the outcast, forgiving sinners, and responding to human need with mercy and love. This sermon challenges believers to not only receive the compassion of Jesus, but to reflect it in their own lives as evidence of a transformed heart. This teaching is for anyone who: Longs to experience God's mercy and grace personally Wants to understand the heart of Jesus more deeply Feels worn down, unseen, or in need of restoration Is searching for a Bible-centered church grounded in love and truth At Dwelling House Church, we believe encountering Jesus changes how we see God, ourselves, and others—and His compassion leads us to real transformation. Questions This Sermon Answers 1. What does it mean that Jesus is compassionate by nature? 2. How does Jesus' compassion meet people in their pain and weakness? 3. How should encountering Christ's compassion shape the way we live and love others?

I love a good old bit of encouragement, I do, And it can come from me just like it can come from you. And the flavor of encouragement I like works for both you and me. ‘Cause no one wants to be encouraged to be something they're not trying to be. [full text below] Ep. 441 - More Happy Encouragement We begin as always  with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! I love a good old bit of encouragement, I do, And it can come from me just like it can come from you. And the flavor of encouragement I like works for both you and me. ‘Cause no one wants to be encouraged to be something they're not trying to be. So, that means you have to know what they--or you--want, So, you can encourage them--or you--to stick with it and be more than just nonchalant, Happy Encouragement is about the how, while praise is just about the what, And praise is all well and good, sure, but a dependency on it can get you stuck in a rut. Encourage someone--or yourself--to try something new--or again--to see if it works,  They--or you--don't have to be perfect or afraid to fail like the rest of them jerks, Don't lie and say it'll be easy, just say that pretty soon it might not seem so bad, Because you'll be stronger and better equipped to handle more than you ever had. Haha Yowza

What if we don't know what to do with broken hearts the way we know what to do with broken bones? In this episode, Jeanne Foot shares how she helps individuals and families navigate mental health, addiction, and trauma recovery through The Recovery Concierge. Jeanne is the founder of this boutique mental health, addiction, and trauma navigation agency that provides innovative concierge services tailored to unique needs of individuals, families, and the entertainment industry. With a focus on mental health and addiction recovery, her team's holistic approach encompasses assessments, counseling, and continuous support, ensuring a comprehensive pathway to sustainable recovery. Her journey into this work wasn't by choice - it chose her. Growing up in 1960s London with childhood trauma, sexual abuse, and the death of her baby sister, Jeanne fell into substances at a young age as her only tool for emotional regulation. After getting sober and spending seven years frozen in emotional pain, she had an epiphany: no one's coming to save you. She dove into everything from peak performance to trauma healing, creating the proprietary method she uses today with clients. Jeanne reveals two relationships that transformed her: her father, who mentored her in the family insurance business in her early twenties when she didn't want to go to university, teaching her that sales is about guiding people through a process (not coercing them), that you win on price but lose on price, and instilling values of ethics, integrity, kindness, vulnerability, and transparency that shape everything she stands for today and carry through to their third-generation family business; and Dr. Anthony Levitt, Chief of Brain Sciences at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto with over 10,000 employees, a brilliant psychiatrist who gave agency to people who weren't clinically trained, wanting to learn from lived experience rather than taking a top-down approach, asking Jeanne to chair a grassroots pilot program in 2012 that has now served thousands of families and become a leader in the industry both nationally and internationally, and who admitted "we're failing people, we need to do better" when others would hide that they don't know what to do.   [00:04:20] Founder of The Recovery Concierge Boutique mental health, addiction, and trauma navigation agency Matches people to right services and bespoke treatment plans Uses invitational, compassionate, non-stigmatizing approach to intervention Been doing this work 30 years informally, 15 years professionally [00:05:40] Growing Up in 1960s London "Children should be seen and not heard" environment in middle class family Baby sister died when Jeanne was four years old Stepbrother sexually abused her, grew up with tremendous trauma Fell into substances at very young age as only coping mechanism [00:06:40] The Critical Juncture: Seven Years Sober Seven years into sobriety, thought "if this is all my life's gonna be, I don't want any part" Frozen in her body, life picture perfect on outside but empty inside In so much emotional pain despite having everything externally [00:07:20] The Epiphany: No One's Coming to Save You Had an epiphany: "There's no one who's coming to save you. You better figure this out yourself" Dove into everything: peak performance, emotional healing, trauma, addiction, mental health Created proprietary method mixing optimal tools that became foundation for her work [00:08:20] Her Children: The Catalyst for Change Children became more important to her than herself Wanted to do things differently than her family had done Made sacrifices in her early thirties (early 1990s) to choose them [00:09:40] The Volunteer Visit That Changed Everything Looking for place to volunteer, wanted to be of service and reduce suffering Someone pointed her to Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto Had no idea what she was doing, just felt she wanted to help [00:10:00] The Town Hall Meeting with Dr. Anthony Levitt Met Dr. Anthony Levitt, Chief of Brain Sciences at Sunnybrook Hospital (10,000+ employees) He was examining why parents were taking children to US for mental health treatment Parents shared their stories, Dr. Levitt said: "We're gonna do something about this right now" [00:10:40] Building the Plane While Flying It Dr. Levitt asked Jeanne to chair the pilot program Lived experience informed program with clinical expertise Did everything: secured philanthropy funding, hired people, visited every stakeholder, defined metrics [00:11:20] He Gave Us Agency Dr. Levitt gave them agency despite being brilliant psychiatrist Felt he could learn from people who had been in trenches and failed by system Jeanne worked across from him 30 hours a week for free because so in love with the work [00:13:00] We Don't Know What to Do with Broken Hearts Know what to do with broken hearts (cardiology) or broken bones Don't know what to do with broken hearts (emotional)—very nuanced, non-prescriptive process Need to meet client where they're at, not use top-down approach [00:14:20] Rapport Is Number One Indicator of Success Rapport is #1 indicator of success, not therapeutic expertise If you don't have rapport with someone, you can't go anywhere Client from 40 years ago still calling because of implicit trust: "I've got my people" [00:16:00] Learning from Her Father First person who changed her life was her father His ethics, sense of humor, values shaped who she became Father was fantastic mentor when she joined family insurance business in 1980s [00:17:00] Sales Is About Guiding People in a Process Father taught her sales is about guiding people, not coercing them Showing them a process: either they want it or they don't He taught her about ethics—have to have benchmark of morality in business [00:19:20] Third Generation of Client Relationships Into third generation with client acquisitions in insurance business Values come from within structure of family and organization Clients saying: "We've been dealing with these people for long time, continue that" Father's lesson: "You win on price, you lose on price" [00:22:40] Dr. Anthony Levitt: Beautiful Humility Gave agency to people who weren't clinically trained, wanted to learn from them Admitted "we're failing people, we need to do better" instead of defending system Such beautiful humility about him wanting to learn [00:23:40] Grassroots Organization Still Going Strong Since 2012 Built organization that's served thousands of families Has funding, clinical research, evidence-based outcomes Leaders not just nationally but internationally with this model of care Dr. Levitt's philosophy: "The government leads by following" [00:25:20] Lives Saved Through Being There Been in situations where had she not been there in right moment, person wouldn't be here today Meets people in their darkest moments, sometimes requires heavy lifting Testimonials from family members: "You literally saved my daughter's life" [00:26:20] Compassionate Persistence Everyone does it in their own timeline, have to respect that Not top-down authoritarian approach—some people need more time "Compassionate persistence": stay with them until they get what they need [00:28:20] Triggers Are Learning Opportunities Closer relationships trigger us most, but triggers can be good thing Learning opportunities to do better, show up differently People we love most can be most challenging, but they're opportunities for beautiful learning [00:28:40] 100% Personal Responsibility Have to take 100% responsibility, each of us—no 50/50 When we take personal responsibility, we put control in our hands We build walls to protect our hearts, but can't let anything good in either Being seen, validated, heard for what we need is important part of healing   KEY QUOTES "We know what to do with broken hearts in cardiology, but we don't know what to do with broken hearts." - Jeanne Foot "Rapport is the number one indicator of success. People think it's therapeutic expertise—it's not. If you don't have rapport with someone, you can't go anywhere." - Jeanne Foot "Triggers can be a good thing. They can be learning opportunities for us to do better, to show up differently. We all have blind spots, and the people we love the most sometimes can be the most challenging in our relationships." - Jeanne Foot CONNECT WITH JEANNE FOOT 

We have opportunities right now during this administration to usher in compassionate conservative policies and agendas I believe will be good for this Country. Let's be more strategic, so we don''t have any missed opportunities. We can not allow ourselves to be distracted by the shiny objects.

In this episode of the PFC Podcast, Dr. DeMello discusses the complexities of managing burn injuries in a pre-hospital setting. He emphasizes the importance of following established guidelines, understanding the nuances of fluid resuscitation, and the critical role of pain management. The conversation also covers the indications for escharotomy, the significance of cooling burns, and common mistakes made in burn management. Dr. DeMello shares valuable insights from his extensive experience in military medicine, highlighting the need for compassion and effective communication in trauma care.TakeawaysBurns are a major cause of panic in trauma situations.Follow the MARCH guidelines for initial assessment.TBSA calculations are often overestimated in pre-hospital settings.Fluid resuscitation should be based on available resources.Pain management is crucial and should prioritize patient comfort.Escharotomy should be performed with careful planning and timing.Cooling a burn can significantly reduce its severity if done promptly.Compassionate care can greatly improve patient outcomes.Monitoring urine output is essential for assessing kidney function.Avoid common mistakes like neglecting the back in assessments.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Burns and Trauma Care02:07 Initial Assessment and Management of Burns05:58 Fluid Resuscitation Strategies09:58 Pain Management in Burn Patients21:57 Escharotomy: Indications and Techniques34:10 Cooling Burns and Managing Hypothermia40:10 Common Mistakes in Burn ManagementFor more content, go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Consider supporting us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care⁠⁠

Research indicates that compassionate teaching (CT) positively correlates with professional quality of life among RN to BSN students and can enhance student resilience and well-being.  Faculty who integrate CT into the learning environment help students prepare for practice in stressful healthcare settings. In this podcast and article, Dr. Lisa Ruth-Sahd discusses the outcomes of a mixed-methods research study that nursing faculty can use when teaching RN-to-BSN students. Trauma-informed teaching is emphasized.

I created a video to support those who struggle to connect with others in time of crisis. It is very common for the human nervous system to shut down in the face of crisis. This is a type of freeze response, and while it may feel good to do that for some time, while we are in that state, there are other human beings being made to suffer as a result of their race and/or political ideologies. May We All Benefit.

Have you ever wondered if you are being compassionate or if you are actually taking on responsibility that was never yours to carry? In this episode, I am talking directly to the women who are capable, thoughtful, and deeply caring, and who often feel exhausted because they are holding everything together for everyone else. This conversation was inspired by real emails from listeners who asked a powerful question. How can I tell if I am being compassionate or codependent? Together, we explore how many of us were raised to overfunction, why this pattern makes so much sense, and how it shows up in our adult relationships. I share why this is not your fault, how being a “good girl” shaped so many of our habits, and why trying to fix other people's feelings can quietly steal your peace. Most importantly, I walk you through simple, practical ways to pause, regulate yourself, and respond differently so you can stay caring without abandoning yourself. I also share real life examples from my own day to show how this work looks in the moment, not in theory. If you are ready to stop feeling so responsible for everyone else and start creating healthier, more connected relationships, this episode is for you.

The way you Stay Happy is by balancing work with play,  Making sure you find the fun in each and every day. [full text below] Ep. 440 - Stay Happy We begin as always  with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! Have you ever tread water? Like, rather than swimming you stay vertical instead. It can be an endurance test to those who see it that way, or even a survival skill. It's also a way of saying you aren't moving forward, just stuck in your own head. Or it can be a way to keep active and disciplined as you let your thoughts distill. Perseverance, tenacity, and stick-to-itiveness are all well and good traits, But putting them into practice may feel like a drudgery when it comes time, As human beings we have to put up with a lot, being the playthings of the Fates, And it can be hard to keep balance and growth when you might feel past your prime. The secret to maintaining it, the way you Stay Happy, is you balance work with play, That can be a hobby, an artistic expression, or just turning something into a game, When you were a little kid, you could come up with activities that could last all day, But as we mature into adults we devote more time to work, and life just isn't the same. So, make sure you find the fun every day, play a little game in your head if you have to, Notice patterns, try talking backwards, count pairs of things, make shapes with your hands, When I'm out walking in town, I balance on the edge of the curb, a game I never outgrew, It's why I was such a great babysitter, because playing is something every kid understands. Haha Yowza  

What does it really take to stay grounded, human, and compassionate as a business grows faster than you ever imagined? In this episode of Becoming Unshakable, I sit down with Nicolas Breedlove for a deeply honest conversation about leadership, growth, and the internal work required to scale without losing yourself or the people around you. Nicolas shares what becoming unshakable has meant for him over the years, including the hard-earned discipline of emotional self-control and the realization that true leadership starts with self-leadership. We talk openly about his early mistakes, moments of emotional reactivity, and how learning to manage his responses shaped the leader he is today. Our conversation moves into the role of community in leadership, both inside and outside the workplace. Nicolas reflects on how surrounding himself with other entrepreneurs later in his journey changed his perspective, sharpened his thinking, and helped him grow in ways he wished he had embraced earlier. We explore why a hoarding vision can quietly damage an organization, how sharing it fosters alignment, and why allowing others' strengths to influence the business's direction builds trust and resilience over time. Nicolas also walks me through his entrepreneurial journey, from unexpected beginnings in playground equipment to building a nationwide operation that impacts communities, families, and children. What stands out is how his definition of success has evolved, moving from financial growth toward purpose, culture, and social impact. He shares a powerful story of betrayal that tested his trust and identity as a leader, and how that experience reshaped his commitment to culture, values, and compassionate decision-making. We close with a thoughtful reflection on compassion fatigue, parenting, unlearning old patterns, and what leaders can do when they feel overwhelmed by the weight of everything around them. Nicolas offers grounded advice on resetting, finding perspective, and remembering why the work matters in the first place. As you listen, I hope this conversation invites you to reflect on your own leadership journey and ask yourself, how are you choosing compassion while continuing to grow?  

Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) are often talked about—but rarely understood. For many business owners, they represent one of the most powerful (and misunderstood) succession and liquidity strategies available today. In this episode, Adam sits down with Kelly Finnell, one of the nation's foremost ESOP experts, to break down how ESOPs really work, why they offer unique tax advantages, and when they may outperform traditional exits like private equity or third-party sales. Whether you're a business owner thinking about succession—or an advisor guiding clients through exit planning—this conversation delivers clarity without the jargon. Episode Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction to ESOPs and Kelly Finnell's background 02:00 – What an ESOP is (and why it's both a succession strategy and a retirement plan) 05:00 – How ESOPs create liquidity and operate tax-free 07:30 – The biggest benefits of ESOPs for employees 09:00 – Owner tax advantages, including Section 1042 deferral 11:00 – Who is a good candidate for an ESOP?

After Sunset, 7min., USA Directed by Michael Blake Hudon A man, reeling after a serious breakup, reflects on his past relationship and finds a new perspective. https://www.instagram.com/aftersunsetfilm Get to know the filmmaker: What motivated you to make this film? I've loved movies for as long as I can remember. I finally decided to purse my passion and enrolled in The Los Angeles Film School's online Digital Filmmaking program in 2021. I was entering my final six months with the school and had to produce my final project. Writing has always been therapeutic for me, and I was going through a breakup at the time. I don't necessarily think I sat down and said let's make a movie out of it but I believe it was a more subconscious thing and I was searching for answers. From the idea to the finished project, how long did it take for you to make the film? Two years, which I'm not proud to state, but I've sure learned a lot. Most of that time was post-production. It's a really long story and we'd be all day but from pre-production through production, was four months. How would you describe your film in two words? Compassionate and reflective What was the biggest obstacle you faced in completing this film? Gosh, so many. I'd say the answer would have to be the same that all filmmakers face- the money. Like many others before me, this project was almost entirely self-financed. ——- Subscribe to the podcast: Tweets by wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod/ https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod

Mark 6:30-44 - Our Shepherd Leads Us, Feeds Us and Satisfies Us

This episode explores the fundamental difference between change driven by survival instincts (which drains us) versus change built on safety and self-compassion (which sustains us).

Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), pervasive drive for autonomy, is a deeply misunderstood and often overlooked profile within the neurodivergent spectrum. For many families, living with PDA can feel confusing, isolating, and emotionally overwhelming, especially when traditional parenting approaches seem to make things harder, not easier.In this powerful episode, I'm joined by Dr. Casey Ehrlich, a researcher, coach, and mother to two PDA children, who brings both personal insight and professional expertise to help us reframe what's really going on beneath the behaviours.If you've ever been told your child is “oppositional” or “defiant,” or your child resists even basic everyday requests, from brushing their teeth to getting dressed, or you're exhausted from trying to get it “right,” and you're starting to question the very foundations of what parenting is “supposed” to look like...This conversation is for you.With the right support and education, children with PDA can thrive.

Episode 3274: Leo Babauta invites us to reimagine health and fitness not as a relentless pursuit of unrealistic ideals, but as a practice rooted in compassion, presence, and appreciation. By letting go of striving and embracing mindful self-care, we can nourish our bodies and minds with joy rather than judgment. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://zenhabits.net/compassionate-fitness Quotes to ponder: "Instead of abusing ourselves by putting junk in our bodies (just to satisfy cravings of comfort), we can find joy in the nourishment of our bodies with gorgeous, healthy, delicious food." "We can just stop striving. Just find joy in this present moment, without needing the crutch of our fantasies." "The bodies we have are incredible, wonders of nature, and we take them for granted."

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) We begin by hearing from two members of the community about how they are experiencing and responding to what's happening in the larger society and world in our times. Donald then discusses how we might respond on the basis of our practice, identifying the three areas of training--in wisdom, meditation, and ethics. Guided by wisdom teachings, we can see the society and world as both manifesting greed, hatred, and delusion, and also awakened qualities. In our meditation, we can practice on many levels, including working with challenging emotions, seeing through social conditioning, and bringing mindfulness to our thoughts, emotions, and bodies. We focus especially on "ethical practice," re-framed as developing caring and compassionate responses. We briefly outline the five ethical precepts, and then focus especially on the guideline of non-harming, clarifying how this is understood both more individually and socially, identifying teachings from the Buddha, King Ashoka, and Thich Nhat Hanh. We ask what our practice of developing "caring and compassionate" responses might look like, bringing in also material from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., including his nonviolence and understanding of interdependence, and Elie Wiesel, including his commitment always to speak up whenever there is suffering.

In this episode, you'll hear science, soul, humor, honesty, and the kind of grounded wisdom that only comes from someone who has lived this path from every angle. Because Achim Zinggrebe, MD, truly has—as a physician, cancer thriver, and son of a thriver.  This heartfelt episode is also packed with practical support on how to navigate the parts of cancer healing that aren't always discussed, such as: How to soften fear with gratitude Handling the pressure to "bounce back" after treatment The real inner work that leads to true healing How to rebuild trust in your body What it means to support someone you love without trying to fix or control their journey This episode is a big hug and a book of wisdom all wrapped together.

In this episode, I'm honored to welcome Dr. Tracy Hicks, a dual-certified family and mental health nurse practitioner with over two decades of clinical experience—and a deeply personal connection to serious mental illness. Dr. Hicks is both the daughter of a parent and the mother of a child with schizophrenia spectrum disorders. Her perspective blends professional expertise with lived experience in a way that is both deeply compassionate and refreshingly practical. We talk about what schizophrenia really is (and isn't), the impact of stigma on individuals and families, and the importance of person-centered, empathetic care. Dr. Hicks shares her personal journey—raising a daughter with serious mental illness while navigating barriers in the healthcare system—and offers guidance for both providers and caregivers who want to better support those living with schizophrenia. This is a powerful and deeply human conversation for anyone touched by serious mental illness.
