Podcasts about doing less

Are you tired of feeling constantly drained and overwhelmed by other people's stuff? What if spiritual growth didn't have to be a slow, laborious process of "digesting" heavy emotions and energy? Most people are unconsciously absorbing, processing, and "digesting" every emotion, thought, and energetic push-and-pull they encounter—which leaves them perpetually depleted. In this episode, we're introducing a powerful, high-frequency approach: Metabolizing Energy. Think of your soul as a sophisticated processor. Instead of slow spiritual digestion (which takes time and work to move through your body), metabolizing is the chemical process that quickly turns matter (dense, heavy feelings like fear and doubt) into vitality, new growth, and eliminates the waste simultaneously. In this episode, you'll learn: The Difference: Why "digesting" energy keeps you stuck in a cycle of heavy processing, and how metabolizing speeds up your spiritual evolution. Warp Speed Processing: How to ask your soul to metabolize resistance and challenges, leading to an immediate lightening and mental/emotional regeneration. Strengthening Your Aura: How this practice minimizes the absorption of other people's energy, clarifies your point of attraction, and fortifies your energetic boundaries. Sovereign Divinity: Moving from codependent energetic dynamics to a state of sovereign divinity where you honor the exchange of energy, transmute it, and send it back cleansed. Doing Less, Gaining More: Metabolizing leads to less depletion, higher lifeforce energy, increased clarity, and more synchronistic opportunities appearing as if by magic. It's time to stop running on the fumes of everyone else's energy and become an intelligent processor of your own field. What are you passionate about right now? What fuels you? What do you see with metabolizing energy and energetic boundaries in your life? Let us know what's working (or not working) for you!

♦Go Big or Go Slow: Why 10x Wealth Is Easier Than 2x♦ This title may be hard to believe, but it is a common theme in coaching for small business entrepreneurs.  The concept is from the popular book "10x Is Easier Than 2x: How World-Class Entrepreneurs Achieve More by Doing Less" by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy. Most of us think about incremental improvements in our lives, not dramatic life-changing improvements. That would require a completely different way of thinking. The 10X concept works for entrepreneurs. You can also use the 10X concept to dramatically improve your finances. In my latest podcast episode you'll learn: Why does this concept work for world class entrepreneurs? Stories of how and why it worked. Why can becoming 10 times wealthier be easier than 2 times? How can this idea be used for your finances? What specific concepts can give you 10X wealth? How can you figure out what 10X concepts might be right for you? This is a unique post that is a completely new way of thinking. It includes some insight into my mind and my life.

You can be further ahead, but you only have to be one step ahead.” “You can't be a disciple maker if you're not a disciple first.” “You can't take people higher up in the mountain than you've been.” “Great leaders come in with nothing to hide, nothing to prove, nothing to lose.” “You only need to be one step ahead of the person you're coaching.” “Sometimes all it takes is a small shift in perspective to open up a whole new world.” “Athletes have coaches, but everyone else is just told to figure it out.” “We're all a puzzle piece in this giant puzzle … When we discover our identity and we're living in our purpose, then we are linking arms, yoked with the other pieces around us.” “If we want to go fast, we've got to go together.” “You think about something you buy and you're really excited about, and it almost immediately loses value. The longer you have it, the more it degrades. Soon it's just junk, and you throw it away. Experiences are like wine — they get sweeter.” “We prioritize meetings with people we don't know or don't even like, but we leave it up to chance to hang out with the people that matter to us most.

Beyond Busyness: How to Achieve More by Doing Less by Peggy Sullivan Amazon.com Peggysullivanspeaker.com “Too many people have fallen into the busy cycle that Peggy so accurately and honestly portrays. This book is the wakeup call you need to get back to living.” — Seth Godin, author of The Song of Significance FINALIST FOR THE 2024 BOOK EXCELLENCE AWARD FOR WOMEN'S HEALTH Busy is not better. Break the cycle of “just getting stuff done.” If you're feeling unfulfilled at the end of each day because you are busy but never seem to have time for what truly matters (a phenomenon called time poverty), you're not alone. As a recovering “busyness addict,” corporate performance expert Peggy Sullivan's struggle with the cycle of burnout and anxiety—leading to divorce, two totaled cars, a heart attack, and even accidentally eating cat food—led her on a quest for life outside busy . . . a sweet spot where productivity, happiness, and self-care can coexist. Her search led her to create a transformative framework for taking back control of your time and your life that has helped individuals, entrepreneurs, nonprofits, small businesses, and Fortune 500 companies such as Google, Bank of America, and Blue Cross Blue Shield get their employees off the busy treadmill and align their time and work with what's truly important. Grounded in deep research, including the results of a first-of-its-kind 2023 Busy Report, her three-step Busy-Busting Process has been proven to eliminate unintentional busyness, ignite the power of happiness, and unlock a more meaningful life. Beyond Busyness provides a simple, data-backed, and actionable approach to balancing peak performance, self-care, and happiness without sacrificing one for the other. About the author Peggy is a keynote speaker, author, consultant, and trusted researcher. Through her work, she has discovered why busyness is so detrimental to our productivity, health and happiness. Now she's bringing her proven solution for escaping the busyness trap to keynote stages around the world with her signature blend of humor, heart, and honesty. She is on a mission to help individuals and businesses move above the damaging false belief that “busy” always equates to success. With her help, people and organizations are unlocking peak performance, improving self-care, and finding true happiness, without sacrificing one for the other.

In this energizing episode of Transform Your Workplace, keynote speaker and author Peggy Sullivan delivers a much-needed wake-up call for today's overwhelmed professionals. Sharing insights from her book Beyond Busyness: How to Achieve More by Doing Less, Peggy explores the hidden costs of glorifying busyness. Through heartfelt stories, she challenges leaders to rethink their priorities and model healthier, more intentional work habits. If you're a leader who feels stretched too thin, this episode is your invitation to lead differently — listen in and discover how doing less can help you and your team achieve more.   TAKEAWAYS Busyness is often mistaken for productivity but usually leads to poor quality, low energy, and burnout. Time poverty—lacking time for what matters—is a widespread challenge among professionals. Overstuffed schedules and constant multitasking reduce effectiveness and increase mistakes. Email and communication overload are major distractions that hinder meaningful work. Chronic busyness contributes to loneliness, disengagement, and health issues. Leaders who model intentional time management set a healthier tone for their teams. Eliminating low-value tasks is essential to creating space for high-impact work. Happiness is found in everyday micro-moments, not in achieving big milestones.   A QUICK GLIMPSE INTO OUR PODCAST 

How can you reclaim your power in a job that's just “good enough”?It turns out The Perfect Job isn't nearly as common as the LinkedIn posts would have us believe. Most of us spend our working hours in a job that's okay but far from perfect. The good news is that you can thrive in a just-okay career if you embrace the art of “leading yourself.” In this episode, I sit down with Elizabeth Lotardo to talk about this very concept, which doubles as the title of her new book, Leading Yourself. Elizabeth has spent years helping people at all different stages of their careers discover the potential that awaits when they stop pursuing perfection and begin taking charge of the job they're already in.Learn to maximize the job you already have by uncovering:The reason we feel like we're failing if we aren't holding out for the perfect job;Why it can be empowering to “give up on the dream” of getting a paycheck from our passionHow small changes in your day-to-day can make a huge difference;And when you might need to phone it in before you fall apart.Related Links:Leading Yourself: Find More Joy, Meaning, and Opportunities in the Job You Already Have (Despite Imperfect Bosses, Weird Economies, Lethargic Coworkers, Annoying Systems, and Too Many Deliverables) - https://bookshop.org/p/books/leading-yourself-elizabeth-lotardo/20999467?ean=9781394238705&next=tElizabeth's website - https://www.elizabethlotardo.com/Follow Elizabeth on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethlotardoDrop the Ball: Achieving More by Doing Less by Tiffany Dufu - https://bookshop.org/p/books/drop-the-ball-achieving-more-by-doing-less-tiffany-dufu/8440970LEVEL UP: a Leadership Accelerator for Women on the Rise - https://www.bossedup.org/levelupBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/

Are you caught in the relentless cycle of ‘eat, work, sleep, repeat'?According to my guest for this episode of my “Leadership Biz Cafe” podcast, the problem we face with this cycle of busyness is not a lack of time management, but a lack of clarity over what our personal values are and how to live a more intentional life.Peggy Sullivan is a corporate performance expert, researcher, speaker, and founder of SheCAN!, a national women's nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering women professionally and personally. Her work has been featured in Forbes, Inc, Bloomberg Businessweek, and numerous other media outlets.I've invited Peggy to join me on my podcast so we can talk about her book “Beyond Busyness: How to Achieve MORE by Doing LESS.”Over the course of our conversation, Peggy shares a simple, but powerful three-step strategy that can help any leader get off the busyness hamster wheel and instead spend their days doing work that aligns with their personal values and aspirations.Noteworthy links:Buy Peggy's book “Beyond Busyness” on AmazonLearn more about Peggy's work: peggysullivanspeaker.com Hosted on Acast.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by your schedule, struggling to make time for yourself, or stuck in the cycle of constant busyness, this episode with Peggy Sullivan is for you—learn how to break free, take back control, and start living with more intention.More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/peggy-sullivanIn this episode of Even Tacos Fall Apart, Peggy Sullivan joins us to break down the high cost of busyness and how to take back control of our time, happiness, and mental health. Peggy is a keynote speaker, author, and consultant who's spent years researching the effects of busyness and helping people escape the never-ending hustle. Her book, Beyond Busyness: How to Achieve More by Doing Less, lays out a simple but powerful three-step “busy busting” methodology that's already changed lives.We kicked off the conversation with Peggy's mantra: “I am enough. I have enough. I got this.” She created this saying for herself, and it serves as a reminder that we already have what we need to succeed—we just have to believe it. We also talked about her personal passions, including hot yoga and cold plunges (which, honestly, sound like a nightmare to me, but she swears by them!).Peggy explained why so many of us struggle to prioritize self-care. Society glorifies busyness as a status symbol, making us think that being overbooked equals being successful. We also get a little rush of adrenaline when we cross something off a to-do list, even if that thing wasn't important. That's why busyness becomes addictive. But here's the kicker—research shows that 75% of Americans feel overwhelmed by their schedules and don't know how to slow down, and 64% skip basic self-care (like eating meals and getting enough sleep) because they're “too busy.” Worse yet, 76% of those who identify as overly busy aren't even happy.So how do we break free? Peggy shared her three-step busy busting process:Subtraction: Cut out low-value activities that drain time without adding anything meaningful. Doom scrolling, email rabbit holes, and unnecessary multitasking are some of the biggest culprits.Mojo Making: Replace that busyness high with intentional happiness rituals. Whether it's savoring a piece of chocolate, taking a walk, or making time for a real connection, small moments of joy add up.Values Vibing: Align your decisions with your core values. Peggy's research identified four values that lead to a fulfilling life: human connection, energy management, growth, and authenticity. When you prioritize these, it becomes easier to say no to the noise and yes to what truly matters.We also talked about the long-term mental health impacts of busyness—like forgetfulness, burnout, and strained relationships. Peggy shared a wake-up call from her own life: after working late one night, she accidentally ate her cat's food instead of her own because she was too exhausted to notice. That moment made her realize just how much her busy lifestyle was costing her.Peggy left us with some solid advice: Try the alternative. Cut one or two things that aren't serving you and see how it feels. No one she's worked with has ever regretted slowing down and making more space for what truly matters. She encourages everyone to stop letting busyness steal their joy. Life is richer, healthier, and more meaningful when we step off the hamster wheel.

Class is back in session, ladies!    Once again, Sarah's sharing study notes from her graduate courses at Concordia University Irvine's Townsend Institute for Counseling and Leadership. In this episode on focus and productivity, drawn largely from Michael Hyatt's Free to Focus: A Total Productivity System to Achieve More by Doing Less, she covers how to:    STOP. This is where we Formulate, Evaluate, and Rejuvenate.  CUT. This is where we Eliminate, Automate, and Delegate.  ACT. This is where we Consolidate, Designate, and Activate.  “Putting some of these concepts into action has helped me so much with focusing my work and productivity – and letting go of the ‘hustle-productivity-do-all-the-things-at-once' culture,” says Sarah.   “We stress ourselves out about doing 'all the things' and just need a reminder that it's okay to not do 'all the things.' We aren't called to do that. We're called to serve each other in love because we are forgiven children of God, and that in itself gives us a lot of freedom.”  Connect with the Lutheran Ladies on social media in The Lutheran Ladies' Lounge Facebook discussion group (facebook.com/groups/LutheranLadiesLounge) and on Instagram @lutheranladieslounge.

Register for "A Night with Teacher Tina" on January 28th at 7:00 pm CT HERE!!Do you ever feel like you're not living in the moment? It's probably because you need to “Do Less.” And doing less isn't what you think it is- I'm not telling you to quit everything you're doing or do the bare minimum. It simply comes down to living in the moment you are in presently, allowing yourself to enjoy the now instead of worrying about what happened 5 minutes prior or whatever task you have ahead of you. The concept of doing less can actually take you more places because- once you master this skill- you'll feel less burnt out, less stressed, and more satisfied with yourself. Trust me when I say this isn't something you learn to do overnight- in fact, it's still something I'm working on after years of practice! I've seen a drastic change in my mental health and overall happiness by doing less, taking a step back, and reminding myself to be present and calm. The truth is, no one can work at full efficiency 24/7 without reaching a breaking point so my best advice to dental hygiene students is to master how to do less.

If you audit your time and where you're spending it, are those areas productive? I guarantee you, 100% of the time, it's not. In fact, only 20% of our time is actually spent on productive work. We need to flip the ratio to make 70% of our time productive.” “Business is personal because it involves people.” “What's ordinary to you is magic to other people.” “Actions speak louder than words. People want to be shown, not told.” “The more you affirm someone, the better it is for the relationship.” “The best leaders I've ever known have been the ones who, when something goes wrong, take the blame, even though they're not at fault.

Listen as I explain just how disgusting and you are not going to like it!

If it weren't for horses, your life today would be considerably different. That's according to my guest, Timothy Winegard who has researched the remarkable impact horses have had on us. He is author of the book, The Horse: A Galloping History of Humanity (https://amzn.to/4grRHZa). Listen as Timothy takes you on a fascinating journey through equine history.
