In this episode, Sam breaks down what it really means to “have it all”—and spoiler alert: it's not about checking off society's list of shoulds. She shares her signature framework for defining your version of “all,” tuning into the feelings underneath your desires, and finding the courage to take bold, messy, aligned action. Expect truth bombs, permission slips, and a fierce reminder that you're not too much—you're just powerful. Takeaways: “Having it all” starts with defining what your “all” even is. The real magic? It's in the feelings behind your desires. Comparison kills clarity—ditch it. Courage > confidence. You don't have to do it alone.

Send us a textIn this episode we explore what comedians can teach us about timing, tenacity, and the transformative power of failure. From the brutal honesty of open mic nights to the uncanny pattern recognition honed through relentless practice, we unpack why everyone should step onto a stage at least once in their life, not for applause, but for awareness.I share stories (including a ahem, friendly debate: my wife vs. Dave Chappelle), and we dig into the tension between confidence and competence, the pain of being disliked, and the artistry of staying curious when things fall apart. Comedy isn't just about punchlines, it's about presence, craft, and the courage to keep showing up.We talk about:Why failure is a powerful form of feedback.What your relationship with humor says about your relationship with yourself.How to extract insight from every performance and carry it forward.The power of contribution through well-crafted ideas (heartfelt thank you to Denis Waitley).And what to do when what once lit you up… no longer does.This episode isn't just about comedy. It's about craft, curiosity, and finding meaning through expression, even when the world doesn't clap.Because sometimes, the most important audience… is you.Visit us at:www.theselfhelpantidote.com

This rich, gorgeous conversation will fill your soul. The singular and beloved Joanna Macy died at home at the age of 96 on July 20, 2025. She has left an immense legacy of beauty and wisdom and courage to sustain us. A Buddhist teacher, ecological philosopher, and Rilke translator, she taught and embodied a wild love for the world. What follows is the second and final conversation Krista had with Joanna, together with Joanna's friend, psychologist and fellow Rilke translator Anita Barrows, in 2021. Joanna and Anita had just published a new translation of Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet. At the turn of the last tumultuous century, Rilke was prescient in realizing that the world as he'd known it was passing away. Joanna's adventurous life and vision took shape in the crucibles of the history that then unfolded. Relistening to her now is to experience a way of standing before the great, unfolding dramas of our time — ecological, political, intimate. We stand before the possibilities of what Joanna called “A Great Unraveling” or “A Great Turning” towards life-generating human society. All of this and so much more comes through in the riches of this life-giving conversation. Sign yourself and others up for The Pause to be on our mailing list for all things On Being and to receive Krista's monthly Saturday morning newsletter, including a heads-up on new episodes, special offerings, recommendations, and event invitations.Joanna Macy was the root teacher of The Work That Reconnects. Her books include Active Hope and four volumes of translated works of Rainer Maria Rilke, together with Anita Barrows: Rilke's Book of Hours: Love Poems to God;  In Praise of Mortality; and A Year with Rilke. Krista's previous "On Being” episode with her is “A Wild Love for the World.” That's also the title of a lovely book of homage to Joanna that was published in 2020. Anita Barrows's most recent poetry collection is Testimony. She is the Institute Professor of Psychology at the Wright Institute in Berkeley, California, and also maintains a private practice.

What if the most important financial decision you ever make is the one you're told not to?In this episode of Secrets to Abundant Living, Amy Sylvis sits down with Pia McFarland, Sales Director and GM at MCI Miritz Citrus Intercontinental LLC, to unpack what it really means to build an abundant life from scratch. A Colgate grad with no formal finance background, no family safety net, and no inherited wealth, Pia has built a life of both financial and personal freedom through bold decisions, self-education, and an unapologetic commitment to doing things differently.From launching a multimillion-dollar business while raising a toddler, to investing in real estate and empowering her son with generational tools, Pia's journey is anything but traditional. She challenges limiting beliefs around women and money, dismantles the myth of perfection in investing, and proves that courage, not credentials, is the true starting point of wealth-building.If you've ever felt behind, boxed in, or uncertain about your next move, this episode will remind you: it's never too late to rewrite the story.Connect with Pia McFarland:www.linkedin.com/in/pia-henzi-

Send me a text! I'd love to know what you're thinking!More and more, we find ourselves living in what we might call a post-Christian society.  And more and more, preachers and ministry leaders are finding that the methods they were trained in don't always resonate in a post-Christian context. In this episode, Mark Glanville, the author of Preaching in a New Key, brings together his experience as a jazz musician, pastor, and a scholar of the Old Testament to invite us into a new vision for preaching—one that helps us navigate the transition from Christian to post-Christian culture. THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Mark Glanville explains that both jazz and Christian faith involve learning and internalizing tradition, then improvising freshly within it.Jazz musicians practice and absorb the rhythms and melodies of their tradition, but always play something new in performance.Mark Glanville illustrates how biblical preachers should immerse themselves in scripture, becoming shaped by its themes and stories, much like jazz musicians learn their craft.The biblical tradition requires creative and contextual re-interpretation, as seen in how ancient scribes reimagined the metaphor of covenant.Preaching in a post-Christian society means recognizing that faith no longer enjoys cultural support and must grapple with mixed experiences of doubt and trust.Mark Glanville describes post-Christian contexts as places where church and societal values diverge, making the preaching task more complex.Congregants bring complex emotional and spiritual questions to church, rather than the simple expectation of receiving trusted doctrine.Markus Watson notes that contemporary preaching requires greater sensitivity, awareness of listeners' stories, and often more lyrical, dialogical communication.Mark Glanville emphasizes gaining relational intelligence through ongoing pastoral conversations and deep listening with parishioners.Preaching today involves “reversing the flow”—rather than proclaiming “thus says the Lord,” preachers reveal the beauty of Jesus within the text and invite fresh connection.Mark Glanville highlights that healthy preaching depends on the preacher's own healthy inner and emotional life.Preachers must recognize when they are operating from their “defended self”—speaking from wounds or fear, rather than from a secure, loving place in Christ.Scripture addresses communities, not individuals, so preaching should prioritize communal formation and invite congregations to embody Christ together.Mark Glanville encourages pastors to preach, model, and pray for the transformation they seek, stirring the congregation's collective imagination and trusting the Spirit to work through everyone, not just the leadership.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Mark Glanville:Website – www.markglanville.orgBlue Note Theology podcastBooks mentioned:Preaching in a New Key, by Mark GlanvilleRefuge Reimagined, by Mark Glanville and Luke GlanvilleRelated episodes:250.

Welcome back to The Superhumanize Podcast. I am so deeply honored to have you with me today for a conversation that is close to the very core of what it means to be human.My guest is Dr. Hsien Seow, Canada Research Chair in Palliative Care and Health System Innovation, Professor at McMaster University, and one of the foremost voices reimagining how we approach serious illness and end-of-life care. His work transcends the medical system, inviting us to see palliative care not as surrender, but as a path to reclaiming agency, dignity, and meaning, even, and perhaps especially, in life's most vulnerable chapters.Dr. Seow's book, Hope for the Best, Plan for the Rest, co-authored with Dr. Samantha Winemaker, is a guide to navigating life-changing diagnoses with clarity, courage, and grace. It offers seven keys to transform the illness journey from one of fear and disempowerment to one of hope and preparedness.In today's conversation, we explore the paradigm shifts needed in healthcare, the deeper truths mortality can teach us about life, and how we can each become active architects of our own experience, even when the path ahead feels out of our control.This episode is about much more than palliative care. It is about what it means to live fully awake to our finite nature, and to love, decide, and be present with the preciousness of this human life.Episode Highlights:02:30 – Realizing a disconnect: the moment Hsien noticed future doctors weren't trained to talk about dying, sparking his mission to change the system.04:00 – What palliative care really means: an approach that centers on the full human experience—emotional, spiritual, social—not just medical intervention.06:30 – Why timing matters: most people meet palliative care too late. Hsien and his colleague Dr. Sammy Winemaker push for earlier integration.07:15 – The key concept: “Hope for the best, plan for the rest” — balancing optimism with informed planning.08:30 – Reclaiming power from the medical system: how patients and families can move from passive to activated roles.10:00 – “Zooming out” to see the big picture: why asking what stage you're in is essential to living fully.12:15 – How to move from silence to agency: the role of courageous conversations in healing.14:45 – The ripple effect: illness doesn't just affect the patient—it shapes families and communities.16:30 – Family dynamics and understanding: how knowing someone's coping style reduces conflict and increases compassion.20:00 – What to do when the patient avoids discussion: using gentle invitations instead of confrontations.25:00 – Real-life application: how Hsien's own family used these principles to navigate care with love and tact.27:30 – Cultural myths and medical systems: how we've lost the communal experience of dying and what needs to change.30:15 – Reframing grief and loss: learning from everyday changes how to prepare for bigger transitions.32:30 – Dying as sacred: honoring diversity in spiritual beliefs and values through customized care.34:45 – The invisible load: recognizing and supporting family caregivers before burnout sets in.38:30 – Revisiting roles and expectations: how adaptability sustains families through long-term illness.40:00 – Everyday palliative care: acts of love like cooking, walking a pet, or simply being present.42:00 – Customize your order: bringing your whole self—values, beliefs, and personality—into your care.44:30 – One key question: “What do I need to know about you to give you the best...

Send us a textIn this episode, co-hosts Susan Hookong-Taylor and Fr. Stan Chu Ilo offer a soul-stirring conversation on one of humanity's most enduring needs: hope. At a time when many are overwhelmed by loss, injustice, and uncertainty, they explore where hope is found, how it survives failure, grief, and disappointment, and why faith remains a powerful force for transformation.This is a message not just for Africans and the global Black community, but for anyone yearning for light in dark times. As Susan and Stan reflect on the importance of resilience, rootedness in community, and the quiet strength of spiritual conviction, VoiceAfrique becomes more than a podcast—it becomes a healing space for all who believe that, even in the face of suffering, something beautiful is still possible.Hope is not a naïve wish. It's a radical act. And faith makes it real.

What does it mean to evolve? Our modern-day meaning is "to develop gradually from a simple to a more complex form." But we are complex creatures living totally convoluted lives! Perhaps we need to take this term back to it's Latin origin: "volvere" which means "to roll" with the "e" meaning "out of" -- to roll out of the complex chaotic states that make our bodies and our planet sick and return to a more simplistic life-generating existence.But that would mean letting go of many of the constructs we've created that give us a sense of safety - and some fulfillment - and returning to the earth for sustenance and nurturance.It would mean letting go of grudges and resentments we hold and embracing love and compassion.It would mean that we stop morphing ourselves to meet the expectations of the world and live and BE true to our nature. We are nature - not separate. It takes a lot of courage to let go into true evolution. This is what explore in this Meditation & Healing Circle.

What happens when your world begins to go dark — literally — before you've even hit your teenage years? In this powerful episode of Message in the Middle, I sit down with author, speaker, and resilience coach Laura Bratton, who was just nine years old when she learned she would lose her sight.Laura's story is not just about blindness — it's about vision. Vision for what's possible, even when life takes an unexpected turn. From navigating a decade-long transition to blindness to becoming the first blind student to earn a Master of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary, Laura has redefined courage on her own terms.We talk about what it means to truly harness courage, the origin of grit, and how gratitude can ground us when life feels overwhelming. Laura opens up about what she had to give up — and what she gained — and offers insight into how anyone facing adversity can tap into their own inner strength.Whether you're navigating loss, transition, or uncertainty, this conversation will leave you with a renewed sense of hope and the reminder that your greatest challenges might also be your greatest teachers.

#626: A software programmer and an accountant walk into retirement planning. Are they being creative? Dr. Zorana Ivcevic Pringle, a senior research scientist at Yale University's Center for Emotional Intelligence, says absolutely. Pringle defines creativity as something that's both original and effective, whether you're solving an accounting problem or planning an unconventional retirement. We explore the gap between having ideas and actually implementing them. You have this brilliant vision for starting a business, changing careers, or retiring early, but somehow you never take the first step. Pringle calls this the implementation gap, and she explains why it happens. The conversation centers on a hypothetical couple: both 55 years old, one a programmer, the other in middle management. They want to retire at 57 and travel the world. Pringle uses this example to illustrate how creative problem-solving works in real life. She explains that creativity requires comfort with uncertainty. When you're doing something new, you don't have a blueprint or checklist. There's always the risk that your early retirement plan could fail spectacularly — imagine having to return to work at 59 after the market tanks and your portfolio gets crushed. Here's the key insight: you don't need full confidence to start. Pringle compares creative confidence to fuel in a car. You don't need a full tank — you can start with just a quarter tank and refuel along the way. Each small success builds more confidence for the next step. The bottom line? Innovation happens through constant iteration. Your final destination might change throughout your career and retirement, and that's completely normal.

Everyone told Paul not to go to Jerusalem—too risky, too dangerous, too costly. But Paul's courage wasn't recklessness; it was rooted in conviction. When God gives you a clear call, no warning or obstacle should turn you back. Real courage comes from knowing what God has said and trusting Him no matter what. May Paul's example embolden your steps today.

In this short micro dose episode, we explore the specialized qualities required for different SEAL Team missions. Our guest, retired Navy SEAL Commander Rich Diviney, shares his fascination with the unique attributes needed for high-stakes operations like combat diving and hostage rescue—emphasizing how patience, adaptability, and mental agility are mission-critical. Listen to full episode here: https://pod.fo/e/28e08fDrawing from hundreds of real-world missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, Rich unpacks the true purpose behind SEAL training—not to teach specific skills, but to reveal the core attributes required to perform under extreme pressure. Whether underwater for long durations or making life-or-death decisions in seconds, SEALs succeed not just because of what they know, but because of who they are.Rich's insights extend beyond the military. He shows how this same philosophy—prioritizing attributes over skills—can transform leadership and team performance in any environment.Key Takeaways:Different SEAL missions require distinct personal qualities.Training is designed to reveal these attributes, not just build skills.The best teams are built on character, not credentials.This mindset applies equally in business and leadership.Specific Missions in the SEAL Teams Require Specific QualitiesSuccess in SEAL missions depends on the unique attributes of each team member—not just their technical skills. This distinction is critical for maintaining adaptability in dynamic, high-risk environments.Attributes Over SkillsEach mission demands specific traits. Combat diving requires deep patience; hostage rescue calls for rapid decision-making and agility. Someone who thrives in slow, methodical tasks might falter in a high-speed crisis—but they'd excel when endurance and calm are key. Recognizing these differences is central to building the right team for the mission.Real-World ExamplesRich Diviney shares a story from 2010, reflecting on his experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan. SEAL training includes grueling exercises—carrying boats, lifting logs—not because those skills are directly used in combat, but because they create pressure. The goal isn't just physical fitness—it's to surface traits like grit, teamwork, composure, and resilience.The Story of the Non-SwimmerRich tells the story of a SEAL candidate who couldn't swim. On the swim test, he jumped in, sank to the bottom, and walked across the pool. When asked what happened, he admitted he didn't know how to swim. But the instructor didn't dismiss him. Instead, recognizing the young man's determination and resolve, he said, “That's okay—we can teach you how to swim.”That moment illustrates a core principle: if someone has the right attributes—grit, tenacity, humility—you can teach them the technical parts. But the reverse isn't always true.From Military to BusinessAfter retiring, Rich noticed that organizations often overvalue hard skills while struggling to define or develop the deeper qualities that drive performance. Terms like “soft skills” don't do justice to traits like emotional control, adaptability, and drive. Focusing on attributes gives companies a more accurate view of who will thrive, grow, and lead effectively.ConclusionThe highest-performing SEAL teams aren't built on resumes. They're built on character. That same principle holds true in every high-performance setting. Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

“It's not about you—and if you remember that, you're making it about the people you serve.” – John BratsakisWelcome to episode 214 of The CUInsight Experience podcast with your hosts, Randy Smith, co-founder of CUInsight, and Jill Nowacki, President and CEO of Humanidei.

Learn more at sheetergroup.com.In this season, Jill and I will have conversations centered around leadership, credit unions, and living our best lives. We will have some of the most respected leaders from around credit unions who we are grateful to call friends join us in the discussion from time to time too.In this episode, we are joined by John Bratsakis, President & CEO of Maryland & DC Credit Union Association. We explore the power of vulnerability, uncertainty, and imperfection as essential parts of leadership that really need to be embraced, not avoided. John shares how he has dealt with leading through challenging times by leaning into his humanity.Listen as John reflects on pivotal moments in his career when he had to admit that didn't know what to do and how that helped open the door to more authentic, collaborative leadership. He shares how a tragic loss on his team taught him the importance of leading with compassion and how navigating a tough time in history with his staff required embracing vulnerability as well as a willingness to accept the fact that they did not have all the answers.As we discuss, this shift from trying to be the perfect, all-knowing leader to embracing one's own humanity is a journey which many of us face. We also reflect on our own experiences with leaders who modeled authenticity as opposed to those who tried to project an image of perfection.Ultimately, the key takeaway is that true leadership is not about having all the answers but is rather about creating a safe space for collaboration, learning, and growth—even (or especially) when we don't know what the right path forward is. By showing up with both vulnerability and intentionality, we give our teams permission to do the same—unlocking creativity, empathy, and the best of what we can collectively achieve!Happy listening, and, as always, please feel free to reach out to us with our own thoughts and/or questions!

In this episode of America's Founding Series, Professor Nick Giordano explores the fascinating and often misunderstood legacy of John Dickinson, the man known as “The Penman of the Revolution.” While others raced toward independence, Dickinson stood firm in his belief that liberty must be secured through law, not rushed into through war. He helped ignite the flames of resistance with his Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania, yet refused to sign the Declaration of Independence, only to later pick up a musket and fight for the very cause he once questioned. Discover how Dickinson's moral conviction, intellectual rigor, and post-war contributions helped shape America's founding in ways few recognize today. Episode Highlights: Why John Dickinson refused to sign the Declaration of Independence despite being a leading voice for colonial rights How the Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania became one of the most influential texts of the American resistance Dickinson's surprising postwar legacy, from drafting state constitutions to defending the U.S. Constitution in The Letters of Fabius

I've just finished reading The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga so thought this Bullet Points could be a book review of sorts. I've summarised what I think they key takeaways are and how I think it can be helpful and if you'd like to me to do something similar/the same for another book, let me know by emailing me at office@emmaguns.com

In this deeply honest and soul-nourishing conversation, I'm joined by my longtime friend and fellow podcast host, Lindsey Simcik of Almost 30. Together, we explore what it really means to create from alignment, honor life's transitions, and lead from the woman you are now—not who you once were. Lindsey opens up about the journey of writing her first book with co-host Krista Williams, the vulnerability of releasing something so personal into the world, and the courage it took to sunset a successful membership in order to make space for something new. We also talk about trusting divine timing, evolving ambitions, honoring creative cycles, and making peace with the unknown. Lindsey beautifully reflects on letting go of external metrics of success in favor of deeper joy, integrity, and presence. If you're navigating a season of growth, reinvention, or quiet clarity, this conversation is your permission slip to trust your timing, your truth, and the woman you're becoming. Liked this episode?
