What makes a retreat unforgettable?   It is rarely just the itinerary.   It is the feeling.  The energy in the room.   The moments guests did not expect.   In this episode of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, Shannon Jamail sits down with Austin-based singer, songwriter, and musician Christine Baird to talk about the role of live music, art, and real human connection in creating transformational retreat experiences.   Christine has performed at multiple retreats hosted by Shannon, and together they explore why live music brings something to a retreat that a playlist, a screen, or even AI-generated music simply cannot replicate.   They discuss how music and art can shift the energy of a room, help guests become more present, create emotional anchors, and turn a good retreat into something people remember long after they leave.   The conversation also dives into why live, in-person experiences are becoming even more valuable in a fast-moving AI world. As technology gets better at creating content, music, images, and experiences digitally, the value of real human energymay actually increase.   If you are a retreat leader looking for creative retreat activities, ways to improve your guest experience, or ideas that help your retreat stand out, this episode will make you think differently about what belongs on your itinerary.   In This Episode You'll Learn Why live music can elevate a retreat experience How art and creativity support deeper connection Why guests remember feelings more than schedules How music can help people become more present The difference between recorded or AI-generated music and a live human performance Why in-person experiences are becoming more valuable in the AI era How retreat leaders can use music and art to create emotional anchors Why creative retreat activities can improve guest satisfaction, referrals, and repeat attendance Key Takeaways Retreats Are Felt, Not Just Attended Your guests may forget the exact order of the workshops. They will remember how the experience made them feel. Live Music Changes the Room There is something different about having a real person creating music in real time. Guests feel the energy, imperfection, emotion, and connection. AI Can Create Music. It Cannot Recreate Human Presence. Technology can create incredibly impressive music. What it cannot reproduce is the shared experience of being in a room with another human being creating something live. Art Creates Emotional Anchors A song, painting, creative workshop, or shared artistic experience can become one of the strongest memories someone takes home from a retreat. Retreat Leaders Should Think Beyond Content You do not need another workshop just because there is an empty hour on the schedule. Sometimes the better choice is music, art, nature, conversation, or simply space to experience the moment. About Christine Baird Christine Baird is a singer, songwriter, and musician whose career has taken her from musical theatre to the Montreux Jazz Festival, from wedding singing in New York City to pursuing her solo career in Austin, Texas. She has performed with Sofar Sounds in New York, Los Angeles, and Austin and was recruited as a contestant for Season 26 of NBC's The Voice. Christine has opened for acclaimed artists including Morgan James at Austin's legendary Antone's Nightclub and Texas artist Red Shahan at Salt Lake City's Garage on Beck. Her vocals have also been featured on popular EDM tracks that have generated more than 13 million streams.

How Shannon Met Christine (00:01:39) Shannon shares how she discovered Christine's magical voice at a winery and was so moved she hired her for retreats. Live Music vs. AI (00:03:35) The conversation explores how live music offers an emotional, human experience that AI-generated music simply cannot replicate. The Effort and Authenticity of Singing (00:04:36) Christine explains that singing is a physical, emotional effort, an instrument from within the body, unlike AI's effortless polish. The Human Brain is Rejecting AI (00:07:43) Shannon and Christine discuss how people are subconsciously starting to recognize and dismiss content created by artificial intelligence. Christine's Musical Journey (00:09:20) Christine shares her background, from musical theater in New York to finding her authentic voice and moving to Austin. The Power of Music at Retreats (00:13:30) Christine discusses how live music's frequency can literally change the biology and energy of a room and its attendees. Creating a Transformative Experience (00:17:40) Shannon praises Christine's ability to engage the crowd, giving them permission to dance, sing, or simply listen and feel. Christine's Long-Term Dreams (00:19:36) Christine shares her vision of connecting with large audiences, aiming to create uplifting experiences rather than just seeking fame. Dealing with Haters and Criticism (00:22:20) The discussion turns to handling online negativity and how life experience builds the strength to stay authentic despite criticism. The Unnatural Nature of Online Comments (00:26:49) Christine shares the perspective that comment sections are unnatural because humans were not designed to hear everyone's unfiltered thoughts. Favorite Music and Original Songs (00:29:48) Christine talks about her love for 70s and 80s music and her process of incorporating her original songs into sets. The Importance of Presence in Performance (00:33:12) Christine explains that staying present and authentic during a performance is key to creating a genuine emotional connection with the audience.

Why does life sometimes feel better when there's no service?No notifications. No traffic. No endless scrolling. No climate-controlled room. No food showing up at your door.Just sunlight. Dirt. Cold water. Movement. Fire. Stars. Good food. Good people. And whatever Mother Nature decides to throw at you.In this solo episode of ALLSMITH, Bryce reflects on returning from time off the grid and explores a question that kept following him home:Have we made life so convenient that we've forgotten some of what makes us feel alive?This isn't an anti-technology episode. And it's definitely not Bryce telling everyone to sell their shit and move into the woods.

The Audition Is Not the Bond Sustainable Presence vs. Performative Effort A bond dies when one person sells a self and the other shops for a feeling. The sale is the feathered act. The shop is the clipboard. Presence is what remains when both stop. The act is never the person. The act is a tool aimed at an end: safety, sex, money, company, status, the high of being picked. That is procurement. Manipulation by function, even when the performer calls it romance. If the effort collapses once the prize is in hand, it was never devotion. It was a campaign that reached its finish line. The judge is inside the same economy. A long script trained women to treat the strongest opening night as evidence of a man. Heat got read as character. Persistence got read as loyalty. Volume got read as value. That training makes a costume easy to buy. It does not make women uniquely foolish. Anyone shopping for a feeling is available to a costume. The costume works because somebody in the room is shopping. The wound staffs both jobs. It writes the act that gets you chosen. It writes the checklist that decides who is allowed to stay. People name that taste. People name that self-respect. A lot of it is old pain running hiring. Non-judgment is required for presence that lasts, and it is not a limp truce. It is the refusal to let the injury do the seeing. A veto that calls itself “standards” is still the wound. A collapse that calls itself “open” is still fear. Neither one can hold a life. The midweek is the audit the campaign cannot fake. Friday still has an audience. Saturday still pays you for arriving. Then the room goes ordinary. No soundtrack hired for the scene. The performer feels unemployed and calls it ingratitude. The spectator feels starved and calls it “they changed.” One was extracting a result. One was consuming a product. A deal that starts in costume collects in costume. Consciousness relating strips the feathers. Not as a vibe. As labor. You arrive with nothing to sell. You stay with no clipboard. You want without turning the other body into a prize. You see without putting them on trial. Effort does not disappear. Effort stops advertising. Two people put need, fear, and limit into the same hour. Neither waits to move first so they can remain the one who cannot lose. Some birds burn a short miracle, get picked, and leave the labor. Other birds have to match. Head. Stride. Timing. If you cannot stay in time, you are not a pair. The market sold the short miracle and called it desire. The match does not trend. It lasts. Under every question, one question. Were you offering yourself, or extracting a result? Were you meeting someone, or grading a show? If both of you take the feathers off tonight, is there still a reason to stay in the room? That is the bond. Not the opening night. The room that remains when nobody is selling and nobody is shopping. Women do not escape the feathers by sitting still. Stillness can be the act. A woman's campaign is often quieter, which is why it gets misnamed as “feminine” and protected from the same charge. The function is identical. Means to an end. Safety. Sex. Money. Company. Status. Being chosen without having to choose.

You can still build muscle after 40, and the research says you can build it at close to the same rate as a 25-year-old. What has to change is not how hard you train, it is how strategically you train, eat, and recover. Alain Gonzalez is a fitness coach, author, and the creator of the largest YouTube channel dedicated to men's fitness over 40. He has spent more than 17 years helping men build muscle and get their health back, and his book is Muscle After 40. In this conversation we walk through his four pillars of muscle growth: mindset, training, nutrition, and recovery. We cover why volume is the thing that has to change with age, why movement quality sits above everything else in the gym, how to order your nutrition so protein comes first, and why recovery is the pillar most people over 40 quietly skip.

We unpack a headline-making surrogacy dispute where a contract pressures a pregnancy termination, then trace how state-by-state abortion law creates conflict and confusion. We also weigh late-term abortion policy, organ transplant preservation, and AI-driven identity mimicry through a Christian pro-life lens that prioritizes both truth and compassion.SHOW NOTES:Rejected Surrogate Baby Must Get Treatment: A Texas court ordered immediate lifesaving treatment for Gabriel, born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome after his surrogate refused the intended California parents' request for an abortion. The ruling blocks delays, transfer, discharge, or removal while litigation continues, spotlighting conflicts over surrogacy, parental authority, disability, and medical decisions after birth.  (Source: https://tinyurl.com/2c83z4ka  accessed 8-13-26)Massachusetts Legalizes Abortion Until Birth: Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signed House Bill 5595, replacing restrictions on abortions after 24 weeks with physician professional judgment. The law permits later abortions outside hospitals, removes certain oversight requirements, and limits insurer review. Supporters cite access during serious complications; opponents warn it eliminates protections for viable unborn children statewide. (Source: https://tinyurl.com/24terxbm  accessed 8-12-26)Efforts to Stockpile Human Organs for Transplant: Scientists are finding new ways to keep donor organs alive outside the body. Teams supercooled pig kidneys to minus 4 degrees Celsius for days, then reimplanted them successfully. Others use perfusion machines that pump nutrients into livers, kidneys, eyes, and even a human uterus, extending viability past 24 hours. Longer preservation could ease organ shortages and reshape transplant ethics and access.  (Source: https://tinyurl.com/24h6fdtn  access 7-29-26)Preserving Human Identity Artificially: Veterans First for America unveiled a quantum-powered project claiming digital DNA could preserve a person's identity in humanoid robots after death. A 40-sensor haptic suit would record movement, vital signs, and skills, building profiles licensed for up to 500 years. Experts still demand real validation before such claims earn trust.  (Source: https://tinyurl.com/2xlh4ukf  accessed 8-3-26)Support the showThe ministry of Christian Life Resources promotes the sanctity of life and reaches hearts with the Gospel.

 Is Marriage Really 50-50?> Exploring the dynamics of effort and commitment in relationships.In the latest discussion on the *Marriage is Tougher Than Woodpecker Lips* podcast, Bryan and Paul dive into the notion that marriage is a 50-50 partnership. This commonly held belief suggests that both partners should contribute equally. However, as they unpack this idea, it becomes clear that the reality is often much more complex.## The Myth of 50-50Bryan opens the conversation by questioning the validity of the 50-50 rule. "We're sold, I think, likely in media, that marriage is fifty fifty... If you ever leave me, I'm taking most of it," he quips, highlighting a prevalent misconception. But what does this really mean for the dynamics of a relationship?Paul adds depth to this discussion, emphasizing that true effort in a marriage often goes beyond simple percentages. "How do we put the effort to keep the marriage once we say I do?" he asks, reminding listeners that marriage is not only about shared chores or responsibilities but also about commitment and communication.## Effort and WillingnessAs the conversation unfolds, it becomes apparent that effort in marriage is multifaceted. Bryan notes, "I think it's also willingness to do certain things, right? Like willingness to continue to communicate, willingness to put your marriage first." This willingness to engage and prioritize the relationship is crucial, especially during challenging times.Paul reflects on the importance of being fully present, stating, "If you're thinking I only have to bring fifty percent of myself, then you're not fully in." This perspective shifts the focus from a transactional view of marriage to one that recognizes the importance of total commitment.## Communication is KeyBryan and Paul stress that communication is essential for a thriving marriage. As they discuss their own experiences, they acknowledge that opening up about feelings and needs can be daunting. Bryan shares, "I'm a little apprehensive as far as how you're gonna react. So please give me grace as I fumble through trying to say what I have to say." This candid admission resonates with anyone who has struggled to express themselves in a relationship.Paul reinforces this point by stating, "You have to have so many conversations because from month to month it could change, from year to year it could change." The ongoing dialogue about needs and expectations is vital to navigate the evolving nature of marriage.## Shifting DynamicsThe hosts conclude their discussion by recognizing the fluid nature of effort in a marriage. Bryan points out, "Through different seasons, people are gonna have different responsibilities... that number could shift day by day." This acknowledgment of life's unpredictability is a reminder that partnership requires adaptability and understanding.As you reflect on your own relationship, consider how you might approach the idea of effort and commitment. Are you fully present? How do you communicate your needs? These questions can help foster a deeper connection and a healthier marriage.For those wanting to hear the full conversation, check out the latest episode of *Marriage is Tougher Than Woodpecker Lips*!Please reach out to us at:marriageistougher.comfacebook.com/MarriageIsTougherinstagram.com/marriageistougher/Let us know if you would like to be a guest on the show or share topic ideasDon't forget to rate, review and subscribe!!!This goes a long way to help us get our message out to more men ready to be better husbands!Thank You,Bryan and Paul

On this episode of Performance Talk, Dr. Ewell Gordon sits down with sports psychologist Dr. Haley Perlis for a powerful conversation about the mental side of athletic performance. They explore how athletes can build confidence when entering new environments, navigate setbacks and rehabilitation, distinguish useful feedback from mental “noise,” and learn to perform even when they don't feel ready. From embracing progress over perfection to giving your best effort with whatever you have that day, this episode offers practical insights for athletes, coaches, parents, and performance professionals looking to develop greater mental toughness and unlock their potential.

With Labor Day right around the corner, it means that the fall election season is upon us, and this year, there's another development that's heralding its arrival – controversy surrounding voting rules. Republican officials at both the state and local level have been acting in recent weeks to erect new hurdles for voters to negotiate. Among the changes that have either been enacted or proposed: plans to eliminate Sunday voting in many places and new rules that would make it easier to discard mailed ballots and harder for voters unable to meet the state's photo ID requirement to cast a ballot. So, what should we make of these developments and where do things stand going forward? Recently, NC Newsline posed these questions to one of our state's top voting rights advocates, Common Cause of North Carolina Policy Director, Brooks Fuller.

43 Aussies are still missing in Nepal after destructive floods, as rescuers race to free hundreds trapped inside hydropower tunnels.

Rescuers are racing against time to search for survivors after a mudslide hit the border port of Gyirong in Xizang in southwest China. They are pushing forward into the core disaster area, carrying out road mud removal, disinfection and epidemic prevention.

The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk www.LearningLeader.com The Price of Becoming www.LearningLeader.com/Becoming My guest: Angela Duckworth is a psychologist and professor at the University of Pennsylvania, and a MacArthur "genius" grant recipient. Her book Grit was a #1 New York Times bestseller, and her TED Talk is among the most-watched ever. Her new book is Situated: Find the People and Places That Bring Out Your Best. Key Learnings She almost lost her mom in the Atlantic. Angela took her 87-year-old mom snorkeling miles offshore. Her mom had not swum in decades. Within minutes, she had aspirated water into both lungs and was unconscious. Angela treaded water, held her mom's head up with one arm, and waved the other until help came. Her mom is 91 now and painting. No amount of grit would have saved them. Angela could not have swum her mother to shore. What saved them was changing the situation, which meant getting other people to their side. The situation is the ocean. It's that powerful, and most of us don't know what water we're swimming in. Grit isn't wrong. It's incomplete. Angela hasn't renounced anything. She's expanding it. Effort is what you bring. The situation determines whether that effort compounds or gets swallowed. Angela was a striver, and it worked for a long time. She knew she wasn't the most talented kid, but nobody was going to outwork her. She wanted to make the cheerleading squad without being able to do a split. She wanted a solo in choir while barely able to carry a tune. She worked her way to both. Most people would be surprised how far sheer effort can take them. Then it stopped being enough. To get as far as she actually wanted to go, and to do it sustainably for herself and the people around her, ignoring the situation was a mistake.  The shift: stop making the best of your situation through effort alone, and make the situation better first. "Of all the ways you can change your behavior, willpower is the absolute worst." You can white-knuckle a donut. You just can't do it forever. Resisting works in the moment and reliably leaves people exhausted, which is why it fails on day three. Your urges come from your thoughts. Your thoughts come from your surroundings. Donut, delicious. Then your hand moves. Instead of fighting the urge, ask where the thought came from. The better question: what situation would give me different thoughts? Not "how do I resist," but "where can I be so that the thought never arrives?" Three inputs shape what you think: the people around you, the physical objects within reach, and the place you're in. Situational agency. Angela coined the term. The situation isn't given to you. It's taken. Leon Marchand was already sixth in the world. His parents, both former Olympians, didn't tell him to train harder or wake up earlier. They told him to change his situation. He emailed Bob Bowman, moved to Arizona, and within two years cut more than eight seconds off his personal best and broke Michael Phelps's last-standing individual world record. A year after that, he won four golds in Paris. What actually changed for Marchand: the best coach in the sport, a lane full of people who all believed they could win it all, better facilities and nutrition and physical therapy, and a culture where world-class was the baseline rather than the ceiling. The situation isn't a given. The situation's taken. Control the controllables. The situation is one of them. Angela agrees with the mantra. Her objection is that most people apply it only to what's between their ears: mindset, attitude, goals. Marchand didn't rethink his attitude. He got on a plane. Get the outside game right, and you get much of the inside game for free. Change the room and the thoughts change with it. Every reason you can't change your situation is probably true, and beside the point. When Angela told people what she was writing, they immediately listed the reasons they were stuck. The mother-in-law, the spouse's job, the kids' school. None of it is wrong. All of it ignores the list of things they could change. Her late father-in-law's whole philosophy was two words: show up. Wedding, funeral, baseball game. Show up. John Wooden taught high school English for 14 years. He kept an apple on his desk. He thought of himself as a teacher first, which is also why he sat high in the bleachers during games instead of courtside. He'd taught them in practice. The game was theirs. What Wooden's players took with them: to be your best at anything, find a great teacher. Angela sees a DIY culture pulling the other way. When she tells young people to email someone, the answer is often that they'll just learn it on YouTube or ask a chatbot. You can teach yourself a lot of guitar that way. You will not become a great guitarist alone. Belief is borrowed more than you'd think. Nobody tries hard at anything without the thought "I can do this" somewhere in their head. That thought usually arrives from someone else first. Angela was a self-described ditzy cheerleader throwing keg parties. Her 10th- and 12th-grade English teacher, Mr. Carr, saw a writer. He handed her books. He took time on her pages. By graduation, she was the rare Harvard freshman who signed up for a second semester of the required writing course, just to keep going. The Pygmalion effect. Bob Rosenthal made up a test, told elementary teachers which kids were about to bloom, and picked the names at random. The teachers called on those kids more, listened harder, encouraged more. By year's end, the kids fulfilled the prophecy they'd been randomly assigned. Every single person she has interviewed has a Mr. Carr. Olympic athletes, Olympic coaches, CEOs, world leaders. Someone who could see farther than they could see. Confidence is a half-filled helium balloon. It has to get batted back up again and again. Which means you don't need your mentor once. You need them on the bad days. Angela forwards her rejection letters to her team. The journals she submits to reject over 90 percent of submissions, and the rejections run eight single-spaced pages. She sends them around so the younger scientists watch her fail, hear that she's angry and discouraged, and then watch her get back up. She failed writing this book the first time. Up before dawn seven days a week through an entire sabbatical, and the clock ran out. She called her publisher and her agent to give the money back and asked whether she owed interest. They called it a pause. She said remote controls have separate buttons for pause and stop. Burnout and imposter syndrome were abstractions until they weren't. She had taught both. She had never lived either. Not eating, not sleeping. What got her out was not more effort. It was a better situation: additional editorial support and mentors to get her back on track. Frankl and Maslow argued about this for decades, and Maslow conceded. Self-actualization aimed only at yourself leaves you unfulfilled. Maslow's final writing added a level above it and named it self-transcendence. There are only two types of people: those who are humble, and those who are about to be humbled. Angela's champagne moment a year from now: celebrating the people around her. Erikson called this stage generativity, and the question it asks is how everything you've learned can help the next generation do better than you did. Her students should excel her. They should be the ones on podcasts. She wants to cede the spotlight on purpose rather than have it taken. Her core identity is psychological scientist. Not speaker. Not author. The stage is a flow state, and she's good at it, but take away the research, and it isn't her anymore. Worth knowing which one yours is. Reflection Questions Pick the goal you've been grinding on the longest with the least to show for it. Is that an effort problem or a situational problem? Who is the best in the world at the thing you're trying to learn? What would it take to send the email this week, and then get on the plane? What is your purpose, in one sentence, written down? Mine is to inspire others to value and pursue excellence. What's yours?

Four voice notes deep with a marketing client — three-minute chunks adding up to a fifteen-minute TED talk — Krysta realized she'd already recorded this episode once. The client's question: why am I in the trenches when I've been in this room longer than the people I keep watching take off? Not "what am I doing wrong," because she's checking every box. Just "what is my problem?" This one is for anyone doing everything right while the result takes its time.Everything You're Watching Is the Highlight, Compressed• Krysta doesn't lead with revenue jumps or body fat percentages on purpose. The number is the byproduct — the transformation is the person who thought content was impossible and now has a working relationship with it• A celebrity trainer at a conference called himself a ten-year overnight success, because social compresses a decade into the first impressive moment you notice• Nobody posts the random Tuesday four years earlier, when that person was asking whether this was going to workEffort and Outcome Don't Trade at a Fixed Rate• Two people can do objectively good work and get wildly different results — different starting points, audiences, offers, responsibilities, luck. Effort doesn't earn points you redeem for the exact life you pictured, much as Krysta wishes it did• You can be happy for someone, a little jealous, and wishing your result would hurry up all at once. None of it is proof you don't believe in yourselfFrustration Is Sometimes Information and Sometimes Just a Feeling• Once the wait starts meaning something about you — I'm behind, I'm blocked, maybe I'm not meant for this — you try to outrun the feeling by changing everything• A new offer, a new mentor, a new content strategy. Or cutting carbs after two bad weeks, so you never find out what the original plan would have done• The question to run: do I have evidence this plan is failing me, or am I just frustrated with how long it's taking? If it's started to feel boring, you're probably getting good at itFix Tip of the Week• Pick a four-week window and no more than three behaviors to track. Set a weekly reminder, or have Claude or ChatGPT check in and log them with you. Take your starting data, then leave the plan alone. Consistent execution with nothing moving means change a variable. Spotty execution is not a license to cut 200 more calories.This Week's ExerciseWrite the frustrated version out first — the jealous, unfair, why-her-and-not-me-yet version, unedited. Then answer one question underneath it: do I have evidence my plan is failing, or am I just tired of waiting? DM Krysta at @thekrystahuber and tell her which one it was.No Such Thing of the WeekThere's no such thing as someone else getting there faster meaning you're late. All it proves is that they got there faster.If this one landed, go back to Keeping Your Blinders Up Is an Underrated Business Strategy on what comparison actually costs you.Follow Krysta:@thekrystahuber @thefitnessfyx @thespreadmktg

Nepal's Foreign Minister says the bodies of hundreds of flood victims have been recovered. But there is not enough space in the country's morgues - so its asking for international help to get freezers to preserve the bodies. Those catastrophic floods have killed more than 670 people in Nepal and Tibet. Nearly 3,000 people are still missing, including 31 Canadians. CBC News is on the ground in Kathmandu with the latest developments.Also: Spies, as a general rule, don't like to draw attention to themselves. Which is why a conspicuous visit to Moscow this week by the top U.S. spy has set European capitals abuzz. CIA director John Ratcliff delivered a message to members of Russia's security apparatus on Wednesday. The content of that message - and why it needed to be delivered in person - remain a mystery.And: Donald Trump's order this week to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America is inspiring a wide range of reactions. Everything from anger to eye rolls. The debate over naming, though, is obscuring another issue - the need for Canada and the U.S. to work together in protecting the Great Lakes. The cooperation is ongoing, but some American scientists say the work on their side is being hindered.Plus: The U.S. and Venezuela's oil deal, Dozens killed in Russia's latest drone strike on Kyiv, and more.

Efforts to improve representation of Native American perspectives in historical and cultural lessons just made considerable progress in two states. A curriculum developed by the Suquamish Tribe over the past decade is now available for Washington States schools. Organizers say it fleshes out the details of past events that previous history lessons portrayed as favorable to colonizing forces and people at the expense of the area's tribes. And in Montana, state officials settled a lawsuit demanding public schools show accountability in how they adhere to constitutionally mandated instruction on the history of the state's tribes. We'll also zoom out to get a broader view of how Native students fit in across the country with the evolving efforts to connect with them amid persistently low test scores and educational attainment.

Soul Powered Channel with Rebekah Kiger | Episode 6 | Coherence Series, Part 1In This EpisodeI unpack coherence through the lens of quantum theory and personal energetics, and I do it in plain language. No jargon, no lecture. If you've ever bounced off this topic because someone explained it to you in physics terms, start here.We take on the hard work versus alignment paradox head on. Effort matters, and effort isn't the multiplier we've all been told it is. What actually changes your results is the state you're operating from, which is why becoming an energetic match for your goal beats grinding at it from depletion. I share what building a sustainable work rhythm looks like once you stop treating exhaustion as evidence of commitment.Then I break down the mechanics as I understand them. Your thoughts are the signal you're sending toward what you want. Your emotions are what amplify it or scramble it. Trust and consistency keep it transmitting, while doubt interrupts the broadcast before anything arrives. This is part one. Next episode I get into interference patterns and the practical work of clearing them.Key TakeawaysYour money problem might not be a strategy problem. Internal conflict and inconsistency stall people way more often than bad tactics do.Coherence is everything pointing the same direction. Thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and actions all aligned toward one clear outcome.Harder doesn't reliably mean better. Showing up aligned and energized changes your output more than piling more hours onto an exhausted week.Incoherence is wanting it and doubting it at the same time. You're not lazy. You're transmitting two contradictory messages.Thoughts send the signal, emotions amplify it. This is why forcing positive thinking over a body full of dread doesn't work.Doubt interrupts before results have time to arrive. Consistency and trust are what let something develop.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Quantum Concepts01:26 Understanding Coherence and Money02:11 Why Hard Work Isn't the Whole Equation03:23 Living in Alignment and Receiving More05:17 The Nature of Coherence06:40 Recognizing Financial Incoherence07:43 Coherence Explained Through Wi-Fi09:21 Interference Patterns and Signal Disruption09:54 Entering the Quantum Field11:02 Thoughts, Feelings, and Your Signal12:03 Manifesting Through Coherence12:40 Maintaining Belief After SetbacksResources MentionedBooks & TeachersDr. Joe DispenzaConcepts We ExploredQuantum physics, mechanics, and theoryThe quantum fieldCoherence and incoherenceMy WorkSoul Powered Society: https://www.risewithrebekah.com/new-the-soul-powered-societyReady to Go Deeper?If this episode landed somewhere tender, you're probably not meant to do this next part alone.

China's top leadership has called for intensified rescue efforts following a major mudslide in Gyirong County, Xizang Autonomous Region. It also urged searches for missing people, geological hazard monitoring, and measures to prevent secondary disasters.

Devastating flash floods have killed more than 350 people near Nepal's border with Tibet. But the death toll remains fluid, with some 1,000 people still unaccounted for. Also, wildfires have raged for weeks in Indonesia, with smoke spreading into neighboring countries. And, former Serbian General Ratko Mladic, known as the "Butcher of Bosnia," has died at the age of 84 in a prison hospital at The Hague, where he was serving a life sentence.

1er épisode solo de la rentrée solo je vous raconte mon été, celui où je suis parti trois semaines à Stockholm écrire le livre sur lequel je travaille depuis un an et demi.Un livre sur ce que la technologie nous retire quand elle nous facilite tout.Ce départ est né d'une sensation que je traîne depuis longtemps, ce pincement au ventre chaque fois que je demande mon chemin à Google Maps plutôt qu'à un humain, chaque fois que je fais rédiger un texte par une IA, chaque fois que ma vie devient un peu plus pratique et un peu plus vide en même temps. Je me suis imposé une règle : aucune ligne de ce livre ne serait écrite par une machine. Et pour tenir cette règle, il me fallait un endroit où rien ne viendrait m'aider à fuir.Ce que je n'avais pas vu venir, c'est que je partais écrire un livre sur la friction dans le pays qui a le mieux réussi à la faire disparaître. Et que ça allait d'abord me mettre à terre.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de la première semaine, celle où je n'ai adressé la parole à personne et où la solitude que je croyais désirer m'a serré le ventre pendant sept jours pleins. De l'effet de dévitalisation, ce mot que j'ai fini par trouver pour désigner ce qui nous arrive collectivement. Du papillon qui doit déchirer sa chrysalide lui-même sous peine de ne jamais voler. Du pigeon de Skinner, que je porte en moi chaque fois que j'essaie d'affiner ma routine du matin. De la nuit où j'ai décidé de jeter la moitié de mon manuscrit. Des Suédois qui s'effacent plutôt que de vous contredire, et de ce que ma sœur m'a dit à ce sujet qui m'a scié. Du Rat Park et de la cage confortable qu'on se construit tous. Et du moment où j'ai griffonné mon numéro de téléphone sur un bout de papier, à mon âge, pour le tendre à quelqu'un.Je me suis questionné sur ce que la solitude fait vraiment, sur la différence entre celle qu'on choisit et celle qui nous tombe dessus, sur ce qu'on croit épargner à nos enfants en leur retirant l'attente et l'ennui, et sur ce qui reste d'une société quand elle a poli tous ses angles.C'est un épisode long, personnel, et sans doute le plus intime que j'aie enregistré. Si vous vous êtes déjà surpris à ne pas savoir ce qui vous avait fait sourire ou pleurer dans la journée, il est pour vous.3. Citations marquantes« Comprendre un piège ne vous permet pas d'en sortir. Vingt ans plus tard, je suis plus accro que jamais. »« Je critique, je rejette, et je reste. C'est sans doute la définition la plus honnête de ma situation, et peut-être de la vôtre. »« J'ai reçu des mails de lecteurs qui me remerciaient pour ce texte que je n'avais pas écrit. Le fait que ça marche m'a prouvé l'efficacité du système et a creusé le vide encore un peu plus. »« Si vous ouvrez le cocon du papillon pour lui simplifier la vie, vous le condamnez : il ne pourra jamais voler. »« On est devenus des athlètes de la certitude dans un monde qui réclamerait plutôt des acrobates de la complexité. »(Bonus si besoin d'un sixième extrait pour les réseaux)« Je suis venu écrire sur ce qui nous arrive quand on retire toutes les frictions d'une vie, et je me suis retrouvé dans un pays qui a fait exactement ça, mais à l'échelle d'une culture entière. »4. Idées centrales discutées 1. L'effet de dévitalisation≈ 09:30 Les systèmes conçus pour nous retirer les frictions de la vie, l'attente, l'effort, l'ennui, le désaccord, finissent par nous vider de l'intérieur. Ils réduisent notre capacité à décider, nos compétences, jusqu'au sens qu'on donne à notre existence. On devient performants, productifs, et vides. Pourquoi ça compte : c'est le mot qui manquait. Tant qu'une sensation n'a pas de nom, elle existe dans le corps mais pas dans la conversation collective. Nommer permet d'agir.2. Savoir ne suffit pas≈ 03:10 Vingt ans à connaître parfaitement les mécanismes d'addiction des plateformes, et vingt ans à y céder quand même. La lucidité n'est pas un levier de changement. Pourquoi ça compte : ça disqualifie toute la littérature qui promet qu'il suffit de comprendre pour se libérer, et ça déplace la question du côté de l'environnement plutôt que de la volonté individuelle.3. Le vivant se renforce par la résistance, pas par le rendement≈ 21:00 La friction est un mauvais élève en ingénierie, on la supprime pour gagner en rendement. Mais un arbre se renforce sous le vent, les valvules du cœur avec le flux du sang, et le papillon a besoin de l'effort qui brise la chrysalide pour que ses ailes se remplissent. Pourquoi ça compte : les designers de la Silicon Valley ont appliqué la logique de la machine au vivant sans vérifier qu'elle s'y appliquait. C'est une erreur de modèle, pas une erreur de morale.4. Friction n'est pas souffrance≈ 23:00 La souffrance réelle, celle de la maladie, du deuil, de la précarité, ne construit rien, elle épuise et elle diminue, et elle demande de la justice et du soutien. Les frictions du quotidien, elles, font grandir quand on les traverse. Pourquoi ça compte : sans cette distinction, tout le propos bascule dans le discours réactionnaire du « c'était mieux quand c'était dur ». C'est le garde-fou de l'épisode.5. La bonne solitude a besoin de micro-liens≈ 32:00 Le flot d'écriture n'est pas venu de l'isolement pur. Il est arrivé au moment précis où j'ai commencé à échanger trois mots avec le type de la cantine et la femme de la sécurité. J'avais besoin d'être seul pour écrire et de ces quelques regards pour tenir debout pendant que j'écrivais seul. Pourquoi ça compte : ça renverse le mythe de l'artiste retiré du monde, et ça donne un dosage concret plutôt qu'un idéal.6. Ce n'est pas la substance qui crée l'addiction, c'est l'isolement≈ 51:30 Le rat seul se tue à la morphine, les rats du Rat Park en consomment jusqu'à dix-neuf fois moins, et ceux qui étaient déjà accros réduisent d'eux-mêmes une fois replacés dans la vie sociale. Pourquoi ça compte : appliqué à nos écrans, ça déplace tout le débat. La question n'est pas de savoir si TikTok est mauvais, mais de savoir dans quelle cage on le consomme.7. Le désaccord est un muscle qu'on a laissé fondre≈ 42:00 Les Suédois s'effacent plutôt que de vous contredire, et le résultat n'est pas un enfer, c'est doux, propre et sûr. Mais le prix, c'est un lien social qui se dévitalise. Nous suivons le même chemin avec les bulles de filtres et la disparition des lieux où l'on croisait des gens qui ne pensaient pas comme nous. Pourquoi ça compte : c'est la friction dont personne ne parle, parce que tout le monde a envie de s'en débarrasser. Et c'est peut-être celle qui nous manquera le plus.Questions structurantes de l'épisode(Format solo : ce sont les questions que je me pose à voix haute et qui portent le récit. Utilisables telles quelles pour les chapitres, les descriptions courtes, ou comme angles de relance sur les réseaux.)Pourquoi ma vie devient-elle un peu plus pratique et un peu plus vide en même temps ?Comment peut-on connaître parfaitement les mécanismes d'un piège et y rester enfermé vingt ans ?Qu'est-ce qu'une sensation qui n'a pas de mot ? Existe-t-elle vraiment tant qu'on ne peut pas la nommer ?Que se passe-t-il exactement quand on retire à un être vivant toutes les résistances qu'il rencontre ?Où passe la ligne entre la friction qui construit et la souffrance qui détruit, et pourquoi les confond-on autant aujourd'hui ?Est-ce que la solitude qu'on désire est vraiment celle qui nous fait du bien ?Qu'est-ce qui a changé entre une époque où l'attente était le décor et une époque où elle est devenue une agression ?Pourquoi cherche-t-on à affiner jusqu'à son repos, et qu'est-ce que ça dit de notre rapport au hasard ?Que faut-il pour accepter de jeter la moitié d'un travail quand une solution confortable est à portée de main ?Combien de décisions ai-je réellement prises aujourd'hui, et combien ont été prises pour moi ?Que devient une société qui a réussi à supprimer le conflit de ses relations quotidiennes ?Est-ce qu'on protège nos enfants en leur retirant l'attente, l'ennui et l'échec, ou est-ce qu'on les prive de ce qui nous a construits ?Hébergé par Audiomeans.

“Send Coach John a message”I found a post from Damon West (@damonwest7) that reminded me about how to get my day going.  He shared this:  “Start your day with one question: how am I going to show up today for myself and for others?  Because your attitude, your effort, and your presence will shape every room you walk into.”  Then spend the day doing your best to be your best for yourself and others.  In all that I have to do, mowing the lawn for example, I need to show up and do my best since I can't do the entire lawn at once - I need to focus in and get the front yard done today and do it the best that I can despite the pain I'm in.  I need to show up and do my best, even when I run an errand that has to get done. Every little thing that we do, it's better when we show up and do our best.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

What if you're measuring how hard you're working instead of whether the work is actually producing an outcome? In this episode of Built for the Edge, Kehla unpacks the difference between output and outcome — and why posting more, emailing more, launching again, or doing more of anything doesn't necessarily mean your business is moving forward. She shares why she's started treating business more like an experiment: looking at the data, figuring out which activities actually produce results, and being willing to change direction when they don't. You'll hear why Kehla is deprioritizing Instagram after seven years of posting, why podcasting and email are becoming bigger priorities, and the question she's now using to evaluate where her energy goes: If you've been doing more, posting more, changing your messaging, launching again, or trying another marketing strategy without being able to clearly identify what's actually moving the needle, this episode will give you a different question to work with: What did the business do because you did that? And if you don't know what you should be looking at in your business right now, Kehla's complimentary Signal Diagnostic GPT is linked in the show notes. It takes you through eight questions about what's actually happening in your business and identifies the strongest structural signal showing up right now: your Center, Path, or Constraint.
