We live in the most distracted generation the world has ever seen. Our attention is constantly fractured — pulled between devices, endless notifications, and the pressure to always be “on.” The result? We feel scattered, disconnected, and lonelier than ever, even as we chase more ways to stay connected. But there is another way forward. In this episode of HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Zelana Montminy — renowned behavioral scientist, bestselling author, and one of Maria Shriver's Architects of Change — for a powerful conversation on how to reclaim your attention in a world built to distract you. Drawing from her extensive work and upcoming book Finding Focus: Owning Your Attention in the Age of Distraction, she reveals the myths behind multitasking, the hidden toll of digital clutter, and why our constant chase for quick dopamine leaves us more depleted than fulfilled. We also explore how distraction has become the pacifier we use to avoid discomfort, and why returning to the fundamentals — sleep, nutrition, presence, and intentional rest — creates the foundation for true resilience and growth. With her unique blend of science, psychology, and holistic wisdom, Dr. Zelana offers a practical roadmap for finding clarity in the noise and remembering what it feels like to be fully present.

From mysterious orbs off Yemen that a Hellfire missile couldn't touch, to Pentagon psyops using UFO myths to hide secret weapons, the government's “disclosure” push looks more like a deep-state distraction than alien contact. At the same time, back home, DEI-driven Democrat judges are unleashing violent criminals—like the one who murdered Irina Zarkusa—while voters in Charlotte rewarded failed leadership with re-election. Add in fake job numbers, manipulated inflation narratives, and Jerome Powell's economic sabotage, and the pattern is clear: Democrats and their media allies are running cover stories and distractions to keep Americans from seeing the chaos their policies create. This segment connects the dots between UFO psyops, judicial suicide, and economic lies.

The “We are all DC” march on Saturday, Sept. 6, was one of the largest protests—if not the largest—to take place in the US capital since the beginning of the second Trump administration. Thousands of local residents, out-of-state supporters, union members, and others marched through the streets of Washington, DC, to demand an end to President Trump's militarized federal occupation of DC. But the march also brought together a cross-section of concerned citizens protesting the Trump administration's attacks on immigrants, US support for Israel's genocide in Gaza, and more. Reporting on the ground for TRNN, Rattling the Bars host Mansa Musa speaks with a range of organizers and attendees at Saturday's march.Additional links/info:Mansa Musa & Dave Zirin, The Real News Network, “‘We are all DC': Massive protests rock US capital in defiance of Trump”Mansa Musa, The Real News Network, “DC residents rebel against Trump's ‘gestapo takeover' of US capital: ‘We don't want a militarized city!'”Maximillian Alvarez & Mansa Musa, The Real News Network, “‘Crazy as hell!' and ‘Distraction from Epstein': Residents respond to Trump's takeover of Washington, DC”Credits:Producer / Videographer / Post-Production: Cameron GranadinoHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

In this episode, Gerry explores the psychology of awe - that profound feeling of being dwarfed by something magnificent - and how the technical pursuit of photography can actually block this transformative experience. From the pressure of social media validation to the "Walter Mitty moment" of choosing presence over documentation, Gerry examines when putting the camera down might capture something far more valuable than any photograph ever could.Find your own awe on the Wild Eye website: https://wild-eye.com/

On this episode, Josh takes a hard look at the conservative movement—what's being done to make it real in America today, and what it will take to deliver lasting conservative policy.

Deep spirituality is not about techniques, beliefs, or outer practices. It is about recognizing that you are already pure consciousness—whole, infinite, and one with the universe. But your awareness is constantly distracted by the outside world and your thoughts and emotions. You are unlimited, but what you are looking at is limited to the tiny sum of your past experiences—forming your false concept of self. Liberation comes by ceasing to identify with what you are looking at and identifying with who you really are—this is Self-realization. © Sounds True Inc. Episodes: © 2025 Michael A. Singer.

Ian Ramirez has spent his career finding innovative ways to make mouth-watering meals for clients—and one of his latest ingredients is artificial intelligence. As a chef, culinary consultant, and co-founder of Mad Honey Culinary Studio and Goods, he's the guy that brands hire to get their product on restaurant menus, and make it look and taste good—whether it's a sauce, syrup, spread, or spice. Ian uses AI to tackle the repetitive, time-consuming parts of menu planning for commercial kitchens, and help clients visualize new concepts before anything gets sliced or diced. It's a tool that augments his creativity, he says, and makes prep less of a grind. On this episode, Ian talks about how AI is helping him and his team spend more time doing what they love: cooking and getting creative in the kitchen.Learn more about Mad Honey Culinary Studio and Goods at madhoneyculinary.comLearn more about Dropbox Dash—the AI universal search and knowledge management tool from Dropbox—at workingsmarter.ai/dash~ ~ ~Working Smarter is brought to you by Dropbox Dash—the AI universal search and knowledge management tool from Dropbox.

Oh friends, we did it. We officially dropped our daughter off at college, and let me tell you—it was a rollercoaster of emotions I wasn't totally prepared for. From the frantic week of packing command strips and last-minute Target runs, to the heartbreaking last night at home when both kids ended up crying in our bed, this season of life has been full of tears, laughter, and a whole lot of love.In this episode, Penn and I share what those first few days after drop-off really felt like (Spoiler: I “took to the bed” for two days in the words of Leanne Morgan), the random little things that triggered my tears (like buying three airline tickets instead of four), and how our community's comments and calls reminded me that healthy birds leave the nest. We also talk about the surprising perks of this new stage of life and the silly distractions that are helping us cope, from cookie cakes and dance classes to discovering the world's greatest '90s radio station.Most of all, this conversation is about feeling everything—the joy, the loss, the pride, and the love. If you've been through a college drop-off (or are bracing for one), I hope our reflections—and a few laughs—make you feel a little less alone. Also a giant hug to our community here on Laugh Lines that wrote us the nicest notes and left the sweetest voicemails. Thank you so much.

Discipline turns average into unstoppable. Distraction turns talent into wasted potential. Too many photographers and filmmakers are chasing every shiny object, trying to be everything to everyone, and spreading themselves too thin. The truth is, you don't need to do it all. You need focus.When you stop diluting your energy and start showing up with clarity, consistency, and discipline, everything changes. The creatives who win aren't always the most talented, they're the ones who stay committed, focused, and consistent long after others get distracted. That's what sets apart the artists stuck in the mainstream market from the ones thriving at the luxury level.You are capable of building a brand that attracts dream clients, commands higher prices, and creates loyalty through trust. But only if you choose to stop chasing every bubble in sight and start directing your energy where it matters most.No more shiny object syndrome.No more distraction.No more dilution.It's time to focus, to stay consistent, and to outpace talent with discipline.00:00 – 03:30 | Talent vs. Skill and the Balance of Art + Business03:30 – 07:30 | Why Focus Matters More Than Being Everywhere07:30 – 11:30 | The Danger of Dilution and Shiny Object Syndrome11:30 – 15:30 | Consistency, Artistic Style, and Building Trust15:30 – 21:00 | Staying Focused on Platforms and Relationships That Matter21:00 – 26:30 | Hard Work, Discipline, and Outpacing TalentThe next round of The Luxury Mastermind will start in October 2025!
