We also discuss how to support a healthy pregnancy - from building a strong microbiome and optimizing blood sugar to preparing your body for delivery and recovery.

What do you do when life looks successful on the outside but deep down you feel stuck, unfulfilled, and disconnected from yourself? In this episode of Productivity Smarts, Gerald J. Leonard sits down with Anne Smith, a seasoned corporate trainer and HR expert who transformed her life after the end of a 29-year marriage. Instead of staying stuck, Anne chose to rebuild, turning her journey into her powerful memoir Gray Divorce: My Life, Rewritten. Gerald and Anne dive into what it really takes to create meaningful change, not just externally but internally. From developing self-awareness and breaking lifelong patterns to using journaling as a tool for clarity, Anne shares how she moved from simply surviving to intentionally designing a life aligned with her values. They explore the hidden cost of "hustle culture," why many high achievers feel stuck despite success, and how small daily practices like early morning routines, reflection, and creative thinking can unlock a completely new direction in life. Anne also shares practical tools like the "Five Whys" framework, identifying core values, and asking the right questions to uncover what is really holding you back. If you have ever felt like you are going through the motions or questioning what is next, this episode will challenge you to pause, reflect, and start rewriting your story.   What We Discuss [00:00]  Introduction [02:03]  Meet Anne Smith [04:12]  The secret sauce: making space for your own feelings [05:57]  Why hustle culture fails us [06:38]  Making time to write: waking up at 4:30 AM [08:32]  The role of self-awareness in divorce and productivity [08:57]  Being the common denominator in two failed marriages [11:47]  Journaling for self-reflection [14:46]  Advice for feeling stuck in your 40s and 50s [16:24]  The Five Whys (Lean/Six Sigma) for personal growth [17:34]  Limiting beliefs and the shadow self (Peter Pan metaphor) [21:35]  95% of life is non-conscious  how to wake up [24:04]  How to discover your core values (the dinner party exercise) [26:08]  Protecting your peace as a core value [27:00]   The importance of being creative [29:19]  FedEx, banks, and thinking differently [32:19]  "This I Believe" exercise from Jeffrey Berlin [36:04]  Where to find Anne's book and website [37:18]  Podcast outro   Notable Quotes [04:12] "I think the core of it for me, I had to learn to listen to what I needed.

I realized I had sacrificed it for 10 or 12 years."  – Anne Smith [27:38] "Creativity takes many forms…connecting different dots is creativity in itself."  Anne Smith [33:13] "We tend to focus on all the things that keep us up at 3:00 in the morning that we can't affect or change." – Anne Smith [32:41] "Oftentimes our fears when we put them down, when we acknowledge them, they're really not that big."  – Anne Smith   Resource and Links Annee L.

Every time we open the news or social media, it feels like we're just 1 more headline away from Earth combusting into flames. It's hard not to feel that way when we're fire-hosed with atrocity at the top of every hour.I can't help but wonder: is the world actually ending, or are we just chronically overexposed to doom with no alternative vision to reach for?In this solo episode, I explore my own doom-and-gloom mode that sent me into AI psychosis, how I climbed out of the dark hole, and started to realize the power of imagination, relationships, art, creativity, and prioritizing seeking joy.If you've felt hopeless, numb, or paralyzed by fear, I hope this episode stirs something within you to ignite a new future. We need your creative thinking now more than ever.Questions to sit with:What inputs are you going reduce this week or intentionally change? What's something super imaginative and forward thinking and non-apocalyptic that you could start putting out in the world? What brings you joy and how can you top up on it this week?DM me @chelseariffe with your reflections ❤️‍

What if the reason you feel stuck creatively… isn't because you don't know what to do? Maybe it's not that you don't know what to say, maybe you're just not letting yourself say it.In this episode, I'm talking with award winning podcast producer, storyteller, and author, Rich Boerner, about what it takes to step out from behind the scenes and actually share your voice.Because for years, Rich helped shape other people's stories… while keeping his own in the background. Until life pushed him to face a question so many of us avoid:  What am I here to say?We get into:-Why we hold ourselves back from expressing what's really true-The fear of being seen, judged, or misunderstood-How to start sharing your voice before you feel ready-Why your most personal story might be the one you're meant to tell-And how small, brave steps can completely change the direction of your lifeRich also shares the story behind his book Not So Only Child (the tale of a family secret that came out and changed his whole life story and reality)… and how finally telling it opened up a whole new chapter for him.If you've been feeling stuck, blocked, or like you're not fully expressing yourself… this conversation is for you.  Because it's very likely that you're not stuck, you're just not saying the thing yet.Get Rich's Book, Not So Only Child Here: https://a.co/d/0g5sZ1IP

Are your kids dragging their feet when it comes to writing? You're far from alone. This week on Homeschool Better Together, Laney Homan sits down with Joshua Davidson—children's author and co-founder of Night Zookeeper—to unpack why so many kids lose their early love for creativity, and, most importantly, how we can spark that joy (and confidence) again, even for the most reluctant writers.Joshua shares a behind-the-scenes look into how creativity and story play a critical role in confidence building—not just on paper, but in your child's sense of self. We talk about the science behind why kids start doubting their creative abilities (especially around ages 7–8), the difference between praise-based and skills-based confidence, and why stories can help even literal, “grandpa before their time” thinkers start to unlock imaginative worlds.Laney also gets honest about her goal-oriented, checklist mindset (raise your hand if you're with me) and how it can unintentionally sap the joy from our homeschool days. There are plenty of practical ideas you can try today—whether your child needs a gentle push into creative writing, a safe space for self-expression, or just permission to invent the next great “kickboxing tiger.” Yes, that's a thing!Here's a sneak peek of what you'll learn:Why writing is so dang hard for kids (it's not just them!)The age when children typically get self-conscious… and what to do about itHow creative expression anchors real confidence—not just loud “look at me” energyThe surprising link between storytelling, play, and long-lasting self-awarenessTips for helping both wildly imaginative and “black-and-white thinker” kids get unstuckNew ways to use character-building (without forcing kids to produce yet another story)How to leverage positive peer feedback—even when you're homeschooling soloThe difference between praise-based confidence (“Good job!”) and skills-based confidence (the kind that actually lasts)Resources Mentioned:Night Zookeeper programSir Ken Robinson (on creativity)Homeschool Better Together's Language Arts Together programYour Next Steps:Check out Night Zookeeper for a playful, confident approach to writingTry building writing sessions around character creation—or let kids expand on their favorite movie/book character adventuresEmbrace “imperfect” creative sessions—sometimes that wild made-up word is the best thing your family will rememberReady for more encouragement and practical tools?

This week, Pete brings a Trojan Horse to Jen, and sneaks in ideas around leadership, empathy, curiosity, and humility along the way. Specifically, in this episode Jen and Pete talk about: How might we utilize the idea of a Trojan Horse in leadership and coaching? How might we set up our teams to feel they can fully contribute? When might we Trojan Horse something, versus being more straightforward and clear? What are some examples of where Trojan Horses show up in the corporate and theatrical realms?

Anyone living with mental illness has heard it at some point: “You need to get over it.” It's a comment people throw out casually, often without realising how painful or dismissive it can feel. Today, we'll explore why that phrase cuts so deep — and what it reveals about how misunderstood mental illness still is. Let's dive in and see where this takes us.▶ WATCH MORE VIDEOS…✅ Anger and mental illness | Mark MI Words

Why do people think conservatives are boring? Sociologist and cultural thinker Margarita Mooney Clayton joins me to challenge the stereotype that artists must be transgressive and that conservatives lack creativity.Drawing on the philosophy of Jacques Maritain, we explore the true vocation of the artist: cooperating with divine inspiration to create beautiful works that point toward the good, the true, and God Himself. We discuss romanticism vs. ordered creativity, abundance vs. desecration in culture, and how conservatives can reclaim beauty, joy, and cultural renewal.Margarita shares insights from her work at Princeton Theological Seminary, Blackfriars Hall Oxford, and as founder of the Scala Foundation.CHAPTERS: (00:00 Introduction)(01:51 How a sociologist became interested in beauty and the arts)(04:28 Why people think conservatives are boring)(09:02 Art as transgressive?

In Episode 111, Meagan Thorup shares her journey toward building a music classroom centered on creativity, reflection, and lifelong musicianship. Grounded in the belief that she is not training professional musicians but equipping students with skills they can carry beyond school, Meagan describes how her teaching has evolved through continuous experimentation and student feedback. She highlights the power of incorporating composition into ensemble settings, walking through her process of scaffolded, collaborative class compositions that move from simple melodies to student-led arrangements. Through trial and error - and a willingness to listen when things don't work - Meagan has created experiences where students take ownership, discover their creative voice, and feel a genuine sense of pride in what they create.The conversation also explores how to cultivate independence through intentional practice and accountability. Meagan explains her shift away from traditional practice logs toward a more reflective, skill-based approach that helps students learn how to practice effectively. By integrating accountability partners, peer collaboration, and ongoing reflection, students not only improve musically but also develop habits they can apply beyond the classroom. Throughout the episode, Meagan emphasizes the importance of viewing teaching as a partnership with students - one where their voices, ideas, and experiences shape the learning process. Listeners will walk away with practical strategies and a powerful reminder: when students are given ownership and the space to create, they can exceed our expectations in meaningful and surprising ways.Connect with Meagan and Learn More: Website: My Happy Teaching LifeOrchestra Music: Starlight Tango Orchestra Music - Through the Fog YouTube Channel - Music Theory Pro Tips Other Resources to Check Out: Book: Atomic Habits, by James ClearBook: The Talent Code, by Daniel Coyle Pass the Baton Book Study, VanderCook College of MusicEpisode 109: Programming for Agency: Choosing Repertoire That Empowers StudentsConnect with Pass the Baton:Pass the Baton website Join the Coffee ClubSupport Pass the BatonAmplify student voice with Exit Tickets for Self Reflection

Welcome to the 200th episode of Extraordinary Creatives: two hundred conversations with artists, thinkers, makers and cultural leaders about the strange, beautiful, often messy reality of building a creative life. And I couldn't imagine a better guest to mark this moment than the brilliant John Lloyd CBE. One of the great creative architects behind some of the most loved comedy formats of the past fifty years. He began at the BBC in the 1970s and helped create programmes that have become cultural landmarks: The News Quiz, Not the Nine O'Clock News, Blackadder, Spitting Image, and the long-running curiosity engine that is QI.  Along the way he co-wrote the original Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio series with Douglas Adams, directed the iconic Genesis “Land of Confusion” video, and has won more BAFTAs than almost anyone alive. But what struck me most, isn't just the scale of his career, it's the way he thinks about creativity itself. John talks openly about the difficult things that shaped him and the strange truth that some of the most uncomfortable moments in life later reveal themselves as gifts.  He reminds us that every creative life includes adversity, and that the ability to transform those experiences into fuel - into insight, humour, empathy or invention – is what stops artists giving up. John is a powerful reminder that great ideas take time. Some of his shows took years to get made. Whether you're a writer, artist, musician - or simply someone trying to make meaningful work  - there is wisdom in this conversation. KEY TAKEAWAYS When we stay with an idea long enough - clearing away the sand, listening more deeply than we speak - what looks ordinary begins to reveal its own quiet, astonishing shape. There are two selves. There's the little yaky person in your head - then there's the true self, which only arrives when you're in the zone, when you're in the state of flow. The heartbreaks, the projects that fall apart - those “disasters” become compost, feeding the work we were actually meant to make. BEST MOMENTS “Creativity is like archaeology. You shovel mountains of sand… and eventually you uncover the sphinx.” “Ideas appear. The difference with creative people is they notice them.” “Deep listening means you're paying attention with not just your ears, with your whole body.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.instagram.com/johnlloydqi https://www.qi.com HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

Eliza Swann discusses alchemy and art, focusing on what alchemy actually is and how it can be understood and practiced in a grounded and accessible way. She explains alchemy as a blend of hands-on work and inner awareness, describing how processes like making plant tinctures and pigments reflect deeper personal transformation, where the state of the practitioner directly influences the outcome. The conversation walks through key ideas such as the stages of alchemy, the meaning of the philosopher's stone, and how symbolic language and imagery can be used to shift perception and unlock creativity. Swann also shares the structure behind her book, The Alchemical Imagination, showing how these stages can be applied through simple practices, emotional awareness, and creative exercises rather than requiring advanced knowledge or a laboratory. Along the way, Lux and Eliza touch on historical figures like John Dee and the importance of working with materials and ideas in a respectful and engaged way, presenting alchemy as a practical path for developing awareness, creativity, and a deeper connection to the world.Eliza's new book, The Alchemical Imagination, will be released on May 4th, 2026. Available for pre-order:https://www.amazon.com/Alchemical-Imagination-Creativity-Catalyst-Transformation/dp/1578639018Eliza is offering an exciting new class starting on May 3rd. It is a year-long online immersion that meets monthly and guides participants through the alchemical opus.

“In the book I spend a bunch of time basically teaching skills and teaching frameworks of thinking. Not to indoctrinate, it's not a framework like an ideology where you need to believe exactly these things. This is a lot more about how does one use their minds effectively to solve problems that have been solved before. Of course, I work on things that have to do with investment and climate and the future of the economy and automation. The main things I'm trying to teach in the book are skills around creativity, critical thinking, community compassion and frameworks around how to go and use that on problems that should be relatively portable to a bunch of problems that are meaningful to you. The way that education needs to change is that people need to actively be working on things that truly matter to them so that over time they end up being able to go make that difference.”Tom Chi is a physicist, designer, inventor, and investor whose work has shaped everything from Google Glass and rapid prototyping at Google X to some of the most ambitious climate technologies being built today.

Authentic learning has always required a connection to a real context. However, in a generative age, where AI cannot “read the room,” contextual thinking has become more important than ever. In this article and podcast episode, I explore the implications of this and share six... The post Contextual Thinking is Becoming Vital in the Age of AI appeared first on Spencer Education.

What happens when one of Donald Trump's oldest friends and one of America's toughest attorneys decides it's time to take on the system? In this powerful episode, legendary attorney Peter Ticktin joins Michael Jaco to discuss the legal battles that could shape the future of America. Ticktin has been practicing law since 1972 and has spent decades fighting cases most lawyers would never touch. From exposing the mortgage robo-signing scandal during the Great Recession to helping all 50 state attorneys general secure a $30 billion settlement from the banks, Ticktin has built a career standing up to powerful institutions. Peter shares why he believes America is facing one of the greatest legal and constitutional crises in its history. He explains why he is now involved in fighting for justice for January 6 defendants, election integrity advocates like Tina Peters, and Bitcoin pioneer Joby Weeks, who he says have all been denied due process and equal treatment under the law. Ticktin discusses what he believes really happened after January 6th and why he sees the prosecutions as part of a broader attack on conservatives and political dissent. He also explains why the case against Tina Peters is one of the most important voter fraud cases in the country and why he believes proving election fraud is critical to preserving the Republic. The conversation also covers the collapse of trust in the justice system, the growing weaponization of government agencies, and why Peter believes America needs a dramatic legal reset. Peter explains why he has decided to seek the position of Attorney General of the United States and what he would do differently if given the opportunity. According to Ticktin, the Department of Justice has lost its way, and the only solution is to restore equal justice under the law. This episode also explores: Peter's lifelong friendship with Donald Trump that began at the New York Military Academy, What inspired his book What Makes Trump Tick, His involvement in exposing the bank fraud scandal that led to the $30 billion settlement, The legal fight for Tina Peters, Joby Weeks, and the J6 community, Why he believes America is at a constitutional crossroads, And why he says the country needs leaders willing to fight when no one else will. Peter Ticktin has appeared in The New York Times, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and in films such as The Man You Don't Know about Donald Trump. He has argued cases before the Supreme Court of Canada, helped define legal doctrines across multiple states, and built The Ticktin Law Group on the principles of Creativity, Cost-effectiveness, and Communication. Now, he says, the biggest battle of his life may still be ahead.

Have you ever noticed… the more you try to force something, the less it actually works? The more you push, control, overthink… the more stuck you feel? Same here, cutie! In this solo episode, I'm sharing something I'm actively working through in real time as I step into full-time entrepreneurship… how to stop forcing everything and start trusting that things can actually work out.Because lately, I've felt myself gripping. Trying to make things happen right now. Trying to control outcomes. And all it's been doing is burning me out and blocking the very things I want.So today, I'm talking about the shift I'm making from forcing → faith, while still taking real, intentional action.We get into:-Why forcing energy actually pushes life away-The difference between effort and desperation-How fear and past patterns keep us stuck in control-The daily practices helping me stay grounded (and not spiral)-How to focus on what's real instead of future-tripping worst case scenariosIf you've been feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or like you're trying so hard and it's still not clicking… this is for you. Love you!

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Ashley Joi Boyd. Interview Purpose The purpose of this interview is to explore the intersection of creativity, financial literacy, ownership, and personal resilience, using Ashley Joi Boyd’s journey as a Grammy‑nominated songwriter, music publisher, real estate developer, and author as a powerful case study. Through honest conversation, Ashley reframes success in the entertainment industry beyond fame and hits, emphasizing business ownership, financial education, mindset, and long‑term wealth building. The interview also serves as an empowerment message—particularly for women—demonstrating that financial setbacks, including bankruptcy, can become turning points rather than permanent barriers. Major Themes & Key Takeaways 1. Songwriting Is the Heart—and the Business—of Music Ashley explains that songwriting is not just creativity; it is the foundation of lasting success in the music industry. While artists may earn from performances, writers and publishers earn from ownership, collecting royalties every time a song is played, streamed, or used globally. Key takeaway: Creativity generates income, but ownership generates wealth. 2. Publishing Is Where the Real Money Lives Ashley highlights that music publishing—not performing—is the most lucrative side of the industry. By owning her publishing company, she positioned herself to earn long‑term, recurring income rather than relying on one‑time payments or constant touring. Key takeaway: Understanding back‑end revenue streams is critical in any industry. 3. Business Knowledge Creates Leverage Raised in an entertainment household, Ashley learned early the importance of understanding contracts, rights, and percentages. She famously walked away from a publishing deal that demanded 75% ownership—choosing long‑term control over short‑term opportunity. Key takeaway: Walking away from the wrong deal can be the right decision. 4. Opportunity Meets Preparation Ashley’s collaboration on Justin Bieber’s hit “Yummy” did not happen overnight. It was the result of years of preparation, proven skill, respect for her craft, and being ready when the door opened. Key takeaway: Access opens doors, but preparation determines what happens next. 5. Financial Collapse Can Become Financial Education Ashley openly discusses filing for bankruptcy after the 2008 housing crash—a moment she describes as devastating but transformative. With no guidance at the time, she was forced to learn money management the hard way, reshaping her relationship with credit, debt, and planning. Key takeaway: Bankruptcy is not the end—it can be the beginning of financial mastery. 6. Financial Literacy Is Often Untaught—but Essential Ashley stresses that many people, especially women, are never taught how to manage money, credit, or wealth. This gap inspired her book Financially Fly: Mastering Money and Wealth for Women, written to create a safe, honest space for financial conversations. Key takeaway: Making money is not the same as knowing how to keep or grow it. 7. Wealth Is About Structure, Not Just Cash In defining generational wealth, Ashley emphasizes trusts, insurance policies, estate planning, and real estate—structures that protect families long after income stops. Key takeaway: Generational wealth is built with systems, not just income. 8. Invest in Yourself First One of Ashley’s most practical strategies is prioritizing yourself as a financial line item—saving consistently, protecting your credit, and building habits that support future freedom. Key takeaway: If you don’t prioritize yourself financially, no one else will. 9. Mindset Drives Money Patterns Ashley underscores that many financial struggles are rooted in scarcity mindset and emotional spending. Shifting to an abundance mindset and facing numbers honestly is the first step toward change. Key takeaway: Your mindset controls your financial outcomes. Notable Quotes “Songwriting is the heart and soul of a song—it’s what makes it last.” “The real money in music is on the back end.” “I walked away from a deal because the business wasn’t right—and that changed everything.” “Bankruptcy forced me to learn how to protect myself.” “Just because you know how to make money doesn’t mean you know how to keep it.” “Generational wealth is structure—trusts, insurance, planning.” “Put yourself on your own balance sheet.” “Your mindset controls everything around you.” Overall Message Ashley Joi Boyd’s interview is a masterclass in reclaiming control—creatively, financially, and mentally. Her story demonstrates that wealth is not defined by income alone, but by ownership, education, structure, and intention. By openly sharing both her success and setbacks, Ashley empowers listeners to stop avoiding financial truth, build sustainable habits, and believe that long‑term wealth is possible—no matter where they are starting. #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
