Podcasts about detours

Friends, it's Fall Extravaganza!! This year, we have an apple theme and take it way too far. (Would you expect anything less?) On our apple romp we get judgy but also informative, try apple recipes, and declare apple approves and abominations. Plus, we sniff sophisticated apple candles and take an apple-themed "would you rather?" quiz. Detours include witchy book club, jeans shopping, and Midwestern sayings.For Friends of the Show on Patreon, we're sharing what we are not looking forward to this fall.See full show notes on our website: Fall Extravaganza & Apple AbominationsBecome a Friend of the Show!

Send us a textStart with a confession: we didn't tell you to sprint toward Alien Resurrection, and after revisiting it, you'll hear exactly why. We break down the wild swings—Ripley's controversial cloning, a xenomorph queen that “evolves” into something eerily mammalian, and a human‑xeno hybrid that's equal parts tragic and nightmare fuel—then tease out the few moments where the film genuinely stuns. Think the lab escape where the xenos outthink their cage, the submerged chase that weaponizes open water, and a practical creature that feels horrifyingly real on screen.We also track the series' artificial‑person lineage from Ash to Bishop to Winona Ryder's Auton, and what shifting the ship's AI from “Mother” to “Father” hints at about the saga's recurring themes of parenthood, control, and faith. There's Firefly energy in the crew dynamics, flashes of Matrix‑style cool in the interfaces and camera moves, and… big question marks in the science that asks you to accept genetic memory on vibes alone. And that ending over Earth? We talk about its jarring tone, why earlier films counted human costs with more care, and how this entry drifts from the grounded corporate menace of Weyland‑Yutani that made Alien feel so brutally plausible.Detours, of course: Demon Slayer's packed screenings, cosplay plans, and a spirited AVP sidebar on asymmetric combat done right. If you're charting the Alien franchise, this conversation gives you a map—what to salvage, what to skip, and why Prometheus was a necessary reset.

Show NotesSummaryIf you've said yes to Father's dream but now you're worn down by resistance, slow progress, or doubts that whisper “Did I miss God?”, this series is for you. In this first episode of The Dreamer's Journey, I'm going to help you reframe “stuck” as a fresh starting line—so instead of quitting, you'll find the courage to carry your dream forward with confidence.TakeawaysGod plants the dream; you didn't make it up.Confirmation markers: aligns with Scripture, serves others, requires faith, bears good fruit.Resistance often comes early and refines courage.Your brain treats envisioned futures as possible—use holy imagination with wisdom.Negativity bias makes pushback feel louder than progress—guard your focus.Dreams give direction, not step-by-step instructions.Detours develop the woman who can carry the dream.New starting lines aren't failure; they're formation.Write the dream to refresh clarity and courage.Small, obedient steps move you out of stall.Quotes“The dream isn't the finish line—it's the starting line of your becoming.”“Resistance doesn't cancel your dream; it conditions you to carry it.”“The dream is a direction, not a destination.”“Every ‘stuck' is a fresh starting line.”Courageous ActionWrite the dream Father planted in you. Put it fresh on paper so you can see it again.Then, write the resistance you're facing right now—things like doubt, fear, procrastination, pushback from others, slow sales, or even that whisper of imposter syndrome.Finally, ask: How could this resistance be shaping me into the woman who can carry the dream further? Then take one small step this week in line with that insight.Chapters00:00 Welcome & Series Intro02:05 When your dream doesn't match reality06:40 Joseph's dream: planted, not pretended12:30 Resistance refines18:45 Direction, not destination24:30 Courageous Action & Prayer27:30 Next episode teaserWho Am I?Hey friend, I'm Heather—your Courageous Coach.

Spend a few minutes with Julie von Gruenigen and you'll hear it right away, she loves riding her bike. On the surface ultra-cycling can feel like it has one recipe for success: sleep little, push past your limits and measure yourself by the podium. But of course, if you dig a little deeper, there's so much more to it.In just a few years, Julie has gone from triathlon to the front of races like Badlands, Traka Adventure, and most recently winning the women's race at the Alps Divide. But she doesn't measure success or meaning from her ranking. In this episode, she shares how she feels like a "spectator" when she's found herself at the front of races, what she's learned about balancing ambition with self-care and while listening to yourself and centering the experience around joy may be the most important skill in bike pack racing.Get your Detours stickers and support the showFollow Julie on Instagram: @julieta.bicicleta Follow Mel on Instagram: @melwwebbFollow Detours on Instagram: @detourscyclingFollow Albion on Instagram: @albion.cyclingUse code DETOURS15 to get 15% off your next order from AlbionIf you love this show please consider pledging your support to sustain producing this show: https://buymeacoffee.com/detourspodcast

Do you ever catch yourself with a little “business envy”? Maybe you're staring at the decals on a delivery truck in traffic, or binge-watching the latest YouTuber who swears they cracked the code to millions overnight. It's tempting to think, “I could do that”—and truthfully, you probably could. But the better question is: Should you?This week on the Divas, Diamonds & Dollars Podcast, we're talking about the powerful difference between chasing shiny objects and staying grounded in your strategy. Because just because you can do something doesn't mean it's aligned with your goals, your energy, or the multipreneurship life you're intentionally building.We've spent the year helping you set goals and build plans, and we know the road isn't always smooth. Life throws Distractions, Detours, and Delays at us daily:Distractions disguise themselves as busy work, leaving you frazzled but not closer to your dreams.Detours remind us that sometimes the scenic route still leads to progress—if it aligns with your bigger vision.Delays can feel like setbacks, but often they're just commas in your story, not periods.The key is to notice what's pulling your focus and learn how to respond with grace and intention.✨ Motivation & Moxie: A clear plan fuels motivation—but moxie is the sass and backbone that keeps you moving even when “ugh” happens. Keep your one-page plan (your personal Cliff Notes!) close at hand. Review it when you feel the slump, and let it reignite your excitement. And remember your “why.” Whether it's financial independence, more freedom, or creating a legacy, your raison d'être pulls you back when doubt starts to creep in.✨ Stay Grounded in Strategy : When the flashing lights of comparison or quick wins distract you, lean into your fundamentals. Stick with best practices. Modify your plan only if it serves your goals, not because of outside noise. Staying strategic doesn't mean being rigid—it means being flexible with purpose.✨ Grace & Growth: Here's the truth: you're not failing when you get sidetracked. You're human. The magic is in noticing when you've drifted, giving yourself grace, and then getting back on track. A pattern break can even give you fresh perspective—as long as you don't stray too far or too long.Your Challenge for the Week: Put your plan in writing. It doesn't have to be perfect—it just has to move you forward. Then, identify your distraction triggers and create a plan for how you'll respond the next time they pop up. With awareness, strategy, and a little moxie, you can stay focused and finish the year strong.Divalicious Pro Tip: Shiny objects will always sparkle, but your future will shine brighter when you stay the course.Multipreneurship | Women Over 40 | Goal Setting | Business Strategy | Overcoming Distractions | Personal Development | Midlife Momentum | Entrepreneurial Mindset | Career Growth | Financial Independence | Women Entrepreneurs | Focus & Productivity | Motivation & Moxie | Staying Grounded | Finish the Year StrongWant to join the Multipreneurship Movement?

In this special couples edition of What's Your Shine? The Happy Podcast, Dr. Shine is joined by her husband, Richard Beeny, for a heartfelt conversation about dreams, detours, and the defining moments that shape who we are. Together, they explore how embracing change and asking the right questions can help us uncover what we're truly meant to do. If you've ever wondered whether your current path is aligned with your deeper purpose—or found yourself reevaluating your goals after a life pivot—this episode offers both wisdom and encouragement. With honesty and vulnerability, Claudia and Richard reflect on seasons of transition in their own lives, including how they've supported each other through change, challenged each other to grow, and ultimately found clarity through the process.  “Start where you are” isn't just good advice—it's the secret to momentum, meaning, and impact. Key Topics Covered: What defines a dream—and how to know if it's yours How detours shape our story and deepen our Shine The power of support and shared vision in marriage The difference between goals and gifts (and why you need both) Why the most powerful transformations often begin in the messy middle Encouragement to take one small, meaningful action today Tune in for this thoughtful, behind-the-scenes glimpse into what it looks like to shine—together. Listen now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your favorite podcast platform.

The art of detours talks about finding new adventures by walking in new places. A new trail or neighborhood sparks curiosity and inspires the senses. The awareness keeps you present and awaken your sense of discovery.

Chris Burkard is no stranger to grand adventures. He's built his career chasing light at the edges of the world, photographing athletes in their element, from the ocean to glaciers, sides of mountains, and continues to test himself on countless expeditions — including a sixteen-day finish at the Tour Divide.But the Silk Road Mountain Race remained an elusive someday ride, shadowed by imposter syndrome, questioning if he really belonged on the startline. This year he took the leap, training with new focus and deep respect for the mountains.Chock full of life lessons, Chris reflects on his time in Kyrgyzstan, the lessons he carried from his time on the Tour Divide, and how he's learned that fear and readiness can coexist. He shares stories of crushing loneliness — the realization of how far from home and familiarity he really was — and moments of elation, from the tears of relief when the headwind finally broke to the overwhelming joy of reaching the summit of the final pass. Most of all, he reflects on the power of vulnerability, the importance of taking joy seriously, and the truth that so much of what these experiences give us, more often than not, has nothing to do with the bike.Follow Chris on Instagram: @chrisburkard Follow Mel on Instagram: @melwwebbFollow Detours on Instagram: @detourscyclingFollow Albion on Instagram: @albion.cyclingUse code DETOURS15 to get 15% off your next order from AlbionIf you love this show please consider pledging your support to sustain producing this show: https://buymeacoffee.com/detourspodcast

Sep. 13 & 14, 2025 - Detours Are Not RoadblocksPastor Bob ClaycampExodus 13:17-22 | Study #20250914GUEST

Honor God and Deliver His Benefits

Today's episode is about something that almost all of us experience but few of us truly understand while we're in it: detours.If you've ever found yourself thinking, “This is not where I thought I'd be right now,” or “Why is it taking so long for things to work out?” this conversation is for you.

In this episode of Success is Subjective, Joanna Lilly sits down with Kade Matthews—a devoted father, psychotherapist, and lifelong advocate for creating healing spaces. Kade opens up about his own non-linear path, weaving together stories of parenthood, professional growth, and the ways music, poetry, and time in nature have been therapeutic anchors in his life. As both a clinician and a parent of young adults, Kade offers a rare dual perspective: candidly acknowledging his own stumbles while emphasizing the importance of compassion, connection, and finding joy in the journey. From mountain biking and canyoneering to supporting families through transition programs, Kade's story is one of resilience, authenticity, and living in alignment with values. Listeners will walk away inspired by Kade's reminder that success isn't about perfection—it's about presence, vulnerability, and the courage to keep showing up for yourself and those you love.Kade's Resources:At The Crossroads Connect with Joanna Lilley  Therapeutic Consulting AssociationLilley Consulting WebsiteLilley Consulting on Facebook Lilley Consulting on YouTubeEmail joanna@lilleyconsulting.com#TherapeuticConsulting #LilleyConsulting #Successful  #TherapeuticPrograms #Therapy #MentalHealthMatters #Podcast #PodcastCommunity #TheJourney #SuccessIsSubjectivePodcast #TheUnpavedRoad #PFCAudioVideo #TraumaRecovery #TherapyJourney #Healing #PersonalGrowth #TherapyWorks #FreshStart #TransitionalLivingProgram #ATCBeTheChange

On this 294th episode of Take Flight Weekly, I share a lesson that came from the longest solo road trip of my life — 29 hours from Chicago to Boston and back while dropping off Lizzy Miller at Boston College. Somewhere on the highway, I realized something important: a long road trip has the same ingredients as pursuing your three-year vision. Think about it. You don't just jump in the car and hope for the best. You begin with the end in mind, you prepare your vehicle, you plot your route, and you measure your progress through checkpoints and mile markers. The same is true in business. Your three-year vision is your “Boston.” Without clarity, systems, and consistency, the trip becomes guesswork. With them, you know exactly where you're going and how you'll get there. In this episode, I'll show you: ✅ Why your three-year vision is like setting your GPS destination ✅ How to equip yourself with the right tools (CRM, daily rituals, coaching) ✅ Why breaking your vision into 12 quarterly checkpoints keeps you on track ✅ How weekly reviews and audits serve as your mile markers ✅ The importance of refueling with rest, reflection, and inspiration ✅ How to adjust when detours appear without losing sight of your destination ✅ Why celebrating milestones builds confidence and momentum Here's the truth: progress isn't about one big leap. It's about consistent, intentional stages. Just like hitting Buffalo or Albany on the way to Boston confirmed I was still on course, your weekly reviews and quarterly audits are the markers that keep you aligned with your ultimate destination. Detours and fatigue will test you, but if your systems are strong and your vision is clear, you'll arrive exactly where you set out to be.

This week, the cosmos is serving us twists, turns, and a few unexpected plot twists, my babes.

“How do I trust God’s heart when His ways and delays are breaking mine?” That’s the question on the table for this week’s episode. It’s probably not a question you’ve asked aloud, but anyone who’s ever been heartbroken, hurt, overwhelmed, or confused by life’s circumstances has pondered the question in her heart. In this episode, I sit down with Kelly Hall—mom of four, Bible teacher, podcaster, and author—whose story of resilience will inspire you. Kelly and her husband, an Air Force fighter pilot, have walked through extraordinary challenges as they raised their four children, three whom are deaf. Kelly is full of real life wisdom about how to hold onto hope when you can barely hold on. Through disappointments, devastation, delays, and seasons of isolation, Kelly has learned how to anchor her heart in God’s promises. She shares practical ways to shift your focus from circumstances to Christ, along with her acronym for HOPE: holding tight to God’s Word, opening your eyes to His work, and embracing His possibilities. If you’ve ever felt like you were drowning and needed someone to throw you a life preserver—this episode is it!

Through Kai's story, we see that detours can shift our perspective, deepen resilience, and open us to unexpected connections and wisdom.

When Sarah's car breaks down on the highway with six teenage girls after their perfect Martha's Vineyard vacation, what could have been a disaster becomes an unexpected lesson in joy and resilience. In this vulnerable and insightful episode, Sarah shares how these young women taught her that suffering through life's setbacks is optional, not mandatory. That joy doesn't have to be earned through struggle-it's our birthright when we stop demanding life follow our script. What You'll Learn: How to shift from automatic suffering to conscious joy when plans fall apart Why teenagers often demonstrate better resilience than adults in crisis situations The difference between toxic positivity and genuine emotional flexibility during setbacks How to maintain access to joy even when circumstances aren't ideal Why releasing control over outcomes can lead to unexpected breakthroughs Practical strategies for turning detours into adventures in business and life How to model healthy responses to disruption for others in your care The mindset shift that transforms obstacles into opportunities for deeper connection   In this powerful episode of Game On Girlfriend®, Sarah Walton transforms a highway car breakdown into a masterclass on resilience and joy. When her vehicle dies while driving six teenage girls home from Martha's Vineyard, what begins as every parent's nightmare becomes an unexpected adventure filled with TJ Maxx perfume testing, Starbucks phone charging sessions, and parking lot volleyball games.   Through this raw and honest storytelling, Sarah explores how these young women demonstrated something profound about approaching life's inevitable detours: suffering through setbacks is a choice, not a requirement. While adults often automatically shift into stress mode when plans fall apart, these teenagers showed her how to maintain access to joy regardless of circumstances.   The episode delves deep into the cultural conditioning that teaches us we must "earn" happiness through struggle, and how releasing our grip on control can open us to experiences more beautiful than our original plans. Sarah shares practical insights for business owners and parents about modeling healthy responses to disruption, finding community in chaos, and choosing adventure over anxiety when life doesn't go according to script.   This isn't about toxic positivity or pretending everything is fine-it's about recognizing that our response to disruption matters more than the disruption itself. That joy is our birthright when we stop demanding the universe follow our timeline.

They were three adrenaline-fueled teenage boys, unleashed in the immense underground system connecting to Mammoth Cave. With them was their Uncle Frank, a veteran caver familiar with these parts. He knew the drop-offs and danger spots and continually called to the three, “Guys, this way!” Still, they ventured ever farther from him. Dimming his headlamp, Uncle Frank decided to remain silent. Soon, the boys realized they’d lost their guide. Panic-stricken, they yelled his name. No response. Finally, they saw his headlamp flicker to life in the distance. Instant relief and peace! Now they were ready to follow their guide. This true story makes an apt parable for how we can treat the gift of the Holy Spirit. Detours lure us away from the voice that calls us to follow the One who said, “Follow me” (Matthew 16:24). That voice is the Holy Spirit, who dwells inside each child of God (Acts 2:38–39). God’s Spirit will never abandon us, but we can ignore Him. The apostle Paul warns, “Do not quench the Spirit” (1 Thessalonians 5:19). Instead, “Rejoice always, pray continually,” and “give thanks in all circumstances” (vv. 16–18). By doing so, we stay close to our guide, “the God of peace,” who can keep us “blameless” (v. 23). It’s not our work that does it. It’s His. As Paul reminds us, “The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it” (v. 24).

A children's minister loses a job opportunity, passes on a used car deal, and watches his mother slip away—all in a single six-month stretch. Then a “wrong” vehicle purchase saves his family in a drunk-driver collision, an attorney friend appears with a perfectly timed job offer, and two no-cost legal documents arrive just before both parents pass. In this episode, we trace Joey's winding path through layoffs, wrecks, and loss to reveal a pattern so precise it feels scripted by an unseen hand.
