# Creative Ways to Rest, Even When Rest Feels UnnaturalAnna Barr shares a short, practical episode on redefining rest as a gift rather than something to earn. She walks through small, realistic ways to build rest into everyday life, especially if slowing down feels uncomfortable, guilty, or unproductive.This episode is for anyone who feels like rest only counts if it is a vacation or a reward after everything is finished. Anna offers gentle, faith-based reframes and simple micro-rest ideas you can try this week.## Key topics- Anna explains why “rest” can feel like a trigger word, tied to laziness, guilt, or the fear of sitting with your thoughts.- She reframes rest from a reward into a necessary rhythm of human life and a gift from God.- She introduces **productive rest** as a bridge for people who struggle with the word “rest.”- She shares **micro-rests** that fit into normal life, not just big vacations or retreats.- The **laundry audit**: pairing a chore with a favorite show, podcast, or video series so the task feels restorative.- The **silent walk**: leaving headphones behind to let the brain process without external input.- She encourages an **app purge** for the weekend by deleting social media apps, not accounts, to reduce unconscious scrolling.- She highlights the **power of no** as a zero-cost way to protect capacity and create space for rest.- She connects rest to scripture, especially **Ephesians 2:8-9** and **Matthew 11:28**, as reminders that love is not earned by productivity.- She shares simple spiritual practices like **breath prayer**, **writing the Psalms**, and a **parking lot technique** for offloading mental clutter.- She recommends **visual transitions**, like changing clothes after work, to signal to the nervous system that it is time to shift into rest.## Timestamps00:00 - Episode intro and invitation for podcast ideas 00:27 - Why rest feels unnatural and emotionally loaded 00:53 - Reframing rest as productive rest, then simply rest 01:23 - Rest is not earned, it is a gift from God 01:50 - God's example of rest in creation 02:19 - Why rest does not have to mean a big vacation 02:49 - The laundry audit and anchoring chores to leisure 03:17 - Silent walks without podcasts or music 04:16 - Guarding your mental space by deleting social apps for a weekend 04:46 - Cutting down unconscious scrolling habits 05:10 - The power of no and protecting your capacity 06:07 - When restlessness may point to deeper wounds around earning love 06:30 - Ephesians 2:8-9 and rest as grace, not works 06:58 - Rest as an act of faith and trust 07:27 - Matthew 11:28 and coming to God in weariness 07:53 - Breath prayer as an instant recalibration 08:51 - Writing the Psalms slowly with pen and paper 09:50 - Parking lot technique for anxious, unfinished thoughts 10:19 - Visual transitions to shift out of work mode 11:17 - Final reminder that rest is not a waste of time## Notable quotes- “Rest is an example we have been shown in his word, in his creation.”- “Rest is an act of faith.”- “You're worthy of rest because you're loved by a very, very, very good God.”Contact: helloannabarr@gmail.com

What if you could build a consistent sales pipeline without immediately spending money on ads?In this episode, Jeni shares how she has built relationships that have turned into a powerful referral sales engine for her floral business. She explains why transferred trust is such a valuable asset and how a recommendation from someone a potential client already knows, likes, and trusts can make it much easier to close the sale.A strong referral pipeline is not built by begging people to send business your way. It is built by delivering an exceptional experience, becoming memorable, supporting other businesses, and creating genuine relationships before you need anything from them.Jeni shares both conventional and out-of-the-box ways to build those relationships. She talks about creating a networking schedule, having coffee with new “friender” connections, hosting small industry gatherings, celebrating other vendors' accomplishments, remembering personal details, and publicly highlighting the people doing incredible work around you.She also explains the power of referral-generating generosity. This can include sending clients to trusted planners, photographers, rental companies, caterers, and other florists; making personal email introductions; creating a preferred vendor guide; leaving thoughtful Google reviews; sending handwritten thank-you notes; and dropping off flowers to show appreciation.Jeni also shares why your personal social media accounts can be an overlooked referral source. Sharing your accomplishments, creative work, behind-the-scenes moments, and business milestones helps the people who already know and trust you remember exactly what you do.One planner or vendor relationship can create an enormous financial impact. Jeni shares that one referral relationship generated approximately $160,000 in business in a single year, while another planner relationship generated roughly $90,000.The goal is not to chase every wedding professional in your market. It is to consistently show up, invest in people, be generous, and find the relationships where both businesses can grow together.In this episode, Jeni talks about:Why transferred trust makes referred leads so valuableHow referrals can help you close clients fasterWhy providing an exceptional experience is the foundationCreating a repeatable networking and relationship-building scheduleMeeting new vendor friends without making it feel salesyHosting intimate industry events or flower nightsCelebrating vendors' milestones and accomplishmentsRemembering personal details so people feel genuinely seenPublicly promoting planners, venues, photographers, and other vendorsLeaving meaningful Google reviewsTagging vendors strategically in social media contentSending handwritten notes and personal thank-you emailsCreating a preferred vendor page on your websiteMaking personal referral introductions instead of simply forwarding namesReferring projects that are too small, too far away, or not the right fitInviting trusted vendors into styled shoots and creative projectsCarrying an emergency kit that helps the entire vendor teamMaking it easy for people to describe and recommend your businessDropping off extra flowers as a thoughtful relationship-building gestureUsing personal social media to keep your business visibleWhy sharing your accomplishments is not braggingKey takeawayA referral pipeline is not built by repeatedly asking people to send you clients.It is built by becoming the person people naturally want to recommend.Build real relationships. Make people feel seen. Send business their way. Make their jobs easier. Share their work. Celebrate their wins. And continue showing up long before you need the referral.Action stepChoose three people in your local wedding industry and take one thoughtful action with each of them this month.That might be:inviting one person to coffeeleaving one thoughtful Google reviewsending one handwritten thank-you notecreating one personal introductionhighlighting one vendor on social mediadropping off a small floral arrangementsending one qualified referral their wayDo not ask for anything in return. Simply begin building the relationship.

Has AI really changed Amazon search? Learn what Rufus or Alexa for Shopping means for keywords, product research, and finding new Amazon opportunities before your competitors do. Has Rufus now called Alexa for Shopping completely changed the way shoppers search on Amazon, or are sellers overreacting to the AI hype? In this episode of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley Sutton records from the Maldives for part one of his annual Maldives Honeymoon Launch series and breaks down what has changed, what has not changed, and why Amazon sellers should still care deeply about keywords, indexing, and traditional search. Bradley explains that AI has absolutely changed e-commerce, but not necessarily in the way many people think. Rufus (Quick note: Rufus is now rebranded as Alexa for Shopping) can make the shopping journey easier, especially when customers are looking for solutions rather than a specific product. But when shoppers already know what they want, traditional Amazon search is still one of the fastest paths to purchase. Bradley also explains how optimizing for Amazon search can help sellers optimize for Rufus, using real examples of products missing important keywords and disappearing from both search results and Rufus recommendations. The episode then shifts into product research strategies sellers can use to find new opportunities in 2026 and beyond. Bradley walks through keyword-based research using title density, search volume, review count, and sales filters, while also comparing those methods against raw AI suggestions that can produce unreliable data. He also explains how sellers can use free Amazon tools, such as Brand Analytics and Opportunity Explorer, to uncover low-conversion keywords, weakly competitive products, and products shoppers are searching for but not finding. Bradley also shares creative ways to discover product ideas outside of standard research tools, including spotting trends on Etsy and Pinterest, applying saturated products to new niches, taking advantage of quick-moving pop culture trends, finding abandoned “zombie listings,” and using old-school product filters that still work today. The big takeaway: AI matters, Rufus matters, but the fundamentals of Amazon product research and keyword strategy are far from dead. Sellers who combine new AI awareness with proven data-driven research methods can still find serious opportunities before the market gets crowded. For part two of this Maldives Honeymoon Launch series, head over to the Serious Sellers Podcast and listen to episode 750. Bradley goes deeper into keyword research, launch strategy, and how to get new products ranking on page one within days: https://h10.me/750 In episode 526 of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley covers: 00:00 - Introduction 00:35 - The Maldives Honeymoon Launch Series 02:25 - How AI Has Changed E-Commerce 04:54 - Why Sellers Are Overreacting to Rufus/Alexa for Shopping Hype 08:58 - Product Discovery vs. Solution Discovery 11:26 - Why Keyword Research Still Matters 13:53 - Are Prime Members Using Rufus/Alexa for Shopping Instead of Search? 16:14 - Amazon Search Query Performance Data 18:01 - Product Research Strategies for 2026 22:28 - Using Amazon's Free Product Research Tools 24:12 - Creative Ways to Find Product Opportunities 27:47 - Finding Zombie Listings and Old-School Opportunities

In this episode you will hear: Mark talks about some new and creative ways AO's are using AI Mark interviews Andy Strickler about the challenges college admission leaders faced in 2026. Part 2-Preview o We continue our conversation about the reasons why Connecticut College is adding Early Action o We talk about some of the creative ways colleges are trying to yield students o We talks about some creative ways colleges recruit students and we have a honest conversation about is this practice fair to both parties or does it cross the line and is it not student-centric.

Going for a Hike in a California Park? Don't Forget Your Sewing Supplies Hiking clubs are nothing new. But a group in Los Angeles is now trying to stretch their creative muscles while making new community. Los Angeles' Hike and Sew members gather every other week in Los Angeles to get into nature with their needle and thread.  Reporter Clare Wiley joined the group as part of our Community Connections series, highlighting Californians who are bringing joy to their neighbors in big and small ways.  Motorized Wheelchairs Making Back Country Hiking More Accessible California is home to more than 18,000 miles of hiking trails. But many of them are out of reach for people with physical disabilities. In Southern California, the city of Burbank is trying to change that. A new program lets people borrow motorized, off-road wheelchairs to explore rugged trails that were once inaccessible. Susan Valot reports that advocates are hoping to open up this option to thousands more people in the state.  How to Explore Muir Woods After Dark Marin County is home to Muir Woods – known for its historic redwood trees. It's one of the most visited national parks sites in the country, even though you can't camp there. But as KQED's outdoors reporter Sarah Wright tells us, once a month, park-goers who nab a ticket can  experience the wonders of the park at night.  How an Altadena Monster Sparked Community Tensions After the Eaton Fire burned through Altadena a year and half ago, an unusual sight reappeared amid the ashes and debris: a giant werewolf wearing a t-shirt with a big rainbow-colored heart that said “I Love Altadena”. The mysterious lycanthrope became a source of inspiration and resilience as the community continued to recover and rebuild. And then, as with any good werewolf story, the full moon appeared, a transformation happened and the pitchforks came out. But in the end, peace prevailed. Reporter Steven Cuevas has the story.

Employee recognition structures and their risk-reduction implications received primary focus in this discussion. Both Amy Babinchak and James Kernan outlined verification-based strategies, such as leveraging Microsoft Teams' Praise app and Bonusly, a peer-to-peer micro-bonus platform, as cost-neutral or low-cost starting points. They emphasized that implementing structured recognition—either verbally, digitally, or via peer-nomination systems—directly supports workforce engagement and mitigates retention risk. James Kernan described anonymized in-house recognition systems, where peer acknowledgements are aggregated and rewarded via a monthly raffle, which included prizes typically sourced from vendor swag. Specifics included integration of recognition apps within established workflows and processes—such as Microsoft Teams for informal praise, and Bonusly for monetary or non-monetary peer-based rewards. Amy Babinchak noted that client compliments of staff are internally broadcast for transparency and morale. Both speakers advocated for public, peer-inclusive recognition in the workplace, with an explicit focus on acknowledging day-to-day contributions rather than relying solely on annual reviews or monetary raises. Further, operational and vendor management challenges were covered: Amy Babinchak articulated concerns that help desk KPIs often measure unproductive metrics and stressed the importance of incentivizing conversational and advisory staff interactions over ticket speed. Discussions also addressed the evolving Microsoft Partner Program, noting its complexity, shifting incentive structure, and the administration required. Alternative licensing approaches—such as MSPs enabling clients to purchase directly from Microsoft or using different distributors—were analyzed for cost and administrative impact. Additionally, strategies for navigating hardware supply chain volatility, including the use of white box solutions and refurbishments, were discussed in the context of margin preservation and client-specific risk management. The episode underscores for MSPs and IT leaders that systematic and visible employee recognition is a quantifiable retention and engagement strategy with minimal operational risk when thoughtfully implemented. Tactical decisions around help desk KPI selection, distributor choice, and hardware sourcing require ongoing evaluation to balance cost control, performance, and administrative overhead. Transparent data-driven management, especially concerning staff performance and licensing economics, can both reduce operational risk and foster a more resilient service provider organization.1.

Too many people think inside the box when it comes to buying real estate. And honestly, it's not their fault. For most of our lives, banks, lenders, and even well-meaning family members have conditioned us to believe there is only one acceptable path to owning a piece of real estate. So on this episode of Investing in Real Estate, I'm going to walk you through some of my favorite creative financing methods you can use to start or build your portfolio. These are creative financing secrets the banks will NEVER bring up, even though they're completely legal and legitimate.

Money. It's the first BIG hurdle every rookie faces when buying a rental property. Can't put 20% down? Maybe you don't need to!   Welcome to another Rookie Reply! We're back with three new questions from the BiggerPockets Forums, and first, we hear from someone who's looking to scrounge up the funds for their first real estate investment. If you have the right deal, you could bring very little, and in some cases, no money, to the table. But it'll probably require some legwork!   Next, if you're looking for off-market properties, you'll want a reliable wholesaler who can deliver a steady stream of quality deals. Stay tuned as we show you how to not only find them but also become part of their inner circle.   We also tackle a question many rookies have: Should you line up your financing before or after you've found a deal? One approach gives you a clear edge when it comes to narrowing your buy box, making offers, and negotiating with sellers! Looking to invest? Need answers? Ask your question here! In This Episode We Cover Ways to buy an investment property with little or no money down Creative financing strategies YOU could be using to fund deals in 2026 How to find reliable wholesalers who can provide consistent deal flow Why lining up financing early gives you a serious edge when making offers How to build trust with potential partners, lenders, and wholesalers And So Much More!

If you're a worship leader, you plan services. It comes with the territory. It's part of the job. Most of the time, that comes down to picking songs. But what are we missing in our churches when service planning, programming, and worship leading is reduced to merely picking songs? W. David O. Taylor is Associate Professor of Theology & Culture at Fuller Theological Seminary as well as the director of various initiatives in worship, theology and the arts. He teaches courses in systematic theology, art and worship, art and theology, art and beauty, spiritual formation through the psalms, and theology and science fiction. He is the author of the books Glimpses of The New Creation, Prayers for the Pilgrimage, A Body of Praise, Open & Unafraid, as well as the upcoming book To Set the World Aflame: How Artists Bear Witness to the Fullness of God's Creation. David is a deep well of wisdom when it comes to worship and the arts. What I love about this conversation is he helps us see more expansive view of what worship is and can be in the church. We discuss why artists are necessary and how they help us see more of God. The value of silence in our gatherings. The kinds of songs we need to be singing today. Why the predominant worship model today isn't wrong, but inadequate. You can reach me anytime at david@beyondsundayworship.com. Thank you for listening. Topics Covered: The difference between formation and experience in worship Why our current model of worship experiences isn’t wrong, but inadequate The value of silence in our gatherings Why we need artists in the church Creative ways to introduce silence, reflection, and community in our worship spaces The kinds of songs the church needs to be singing today Resources Mentioned: Show Sponsor: Planning Center Glimpses of the New Creation by W. David O. Taylor Show Sponsor: This episode is sponsored by Planning Center, an all-in-one church management software made to help churches help people. You can organize your ministries and keep everyone on your team communicating and aligned around what's going on. As a worship leader, good communication is key to building a strong worship team. You can cultivate relationships while ensuring everyone has what they need to successfully prep for your services. But why not take it up a notch using the chat feature? Built right into the Services mobile app—which, by the way, you should totally download if you haven't already—chat helps you coordinate all the service details with your team. Plus, you can have fun while doing it! No more juggling emails, group texts, and multiple apps to ensure your whole team is aligned. Chat will simplify your communication in one convenient place through the Services mobile app. And everyone can ask questions, request prayer, or join the banter in real-time with one another. The really cool part about chatting with your teams? Team members are dynamically added or removed from conversations as availability changes! So if your original bass player suddenly declines (why is it so hard to find a bass player, anyway?), your newly scheduled bass player is automatically added to the chat conversation. All of your chat conversations stay in sync. No more outdated group threads or irrelevant messages! So what are you waiting for? Download the Services app and start chatting!
