Podcasts about embracing change

Sally shares her inspiring journey from dance and theater to yoga instruction, highlighting how yoga and running have shaped her life. The conversation covers the welcoming spirit of The Yoga Effect studio, its diverse classes, and the importance of community in Grayslake. Fun rapid-fire questions reveal Sally's personality, while local sponsors and events reinforce the hometown feel. Listeners are invited to try a free yoga class and discover the benefits of mindfulness, movement, and connection in Grayslake. The True Essence of Yoga: Beyond the Poses Sally Gill's journey with yoga began not with the physical postures, but with meditation and breathwork—tools she used to manage performance anxiety as a young dancer. This foundation shaped her understanding of yoga as a holistic practice. Key Insights: Yoga is an Eight-Limbed Path: While most people associate yoga with physical poses (asanas), Sally emphasizes that yoga encompasses eight elements, including ethical principles, breath control (pranayama), and meditation (dhyana). Actionable Tip: Explore breathwork and meditation alongside physical practice. Even a few minutes of mindful breathing can reduce stress and improve focus. Stillness is Powerful: The most challenging pose, according to Sally, is often shavasana (final relaxation). Lying still and being present is where true transformation happens. Actionable Tip: Don't skip shavasana! Allow yourself time at the end of each practice to rest and absorb the benefits. Yoga Sparks Creativity: Sally finds her best ideas come during moments of stillness, especially in shavasana. Actionable Tip: Use your yoga practice as a space for creative reflection. Keep a journal nearby to capture insights that arise. Yoga for Everyone: Breaking Down Barriers A recurring theme in the episode is the inclusivity of yoga. Sally is passionate about dispelling the myth that yoga is only for the flexible or physically adept. Key Insights: Yoga is for All Ages, Genders, and Abilities: The Yoga Effect welcomes everyone, regardless of experience or physical condition. Actionable Tip: If you're new or hesitant, start with a gentle or restorative class. These are designed to be accessible and supportive. Men in Yoga: While 70% of students are women, men are increasingly discovering the benefits, especially in restorative classes. Actionable Tip: Men: Try a restorative or gentle class. You might be surprised by the mental and physical benefits. No Need for Perfection: Yoga is about presence, not performance. Actionable Tip: Focus on how you feel, not how you look. Progress in yoga is measured by increased awareness and comfort, not by achieving advanced poses. Building Community Through Yoga The Yoga Effect is more than a studio—it's a hub for connection and support in Grayslake. Key Insights: A Welcoming Space: The studio's recent move to a larger, more accessible location reflects its commitment to serving the community. Actionable Tip: Engage with your local studio's events and social media. Community is built both inside and outside the classroom. Long-Term Relationships: Many students have practiced at The Yoga Effect since its founding, forming deep friendships and support networks. Actionable Tip: Attend workshops, retreats, or social events to deepen your connections. Supporting Local Businesses: The podcast highlights the interconnectedness of Grayslake's business community, from yoga studios to real estate agents and legal services. Actionable Tip: Support local businesses and participate in community events to foster a sense of belonging. Yoga and Running: A Powerful Partnership Sally's passion for running complements her yoga practice, illustrating how the two disciplines support each other. Key Insights: Running as Moving Meditation: For Sally, running is a form of meditation, offering clarity and presence. Actionable Tip: Try mindful running: focus on your breath and surroundings rather than speed or distance. Yoga for Runners: Yoga helps runners with flexibility, injury prevention, and recovery. Actionable Tip: Incorporate yoga stretches before and after runs. Attend yoga classes designed for athletes. Endurance and Willpower: Sally's experience with long-distance running underscores the mental strength developed through both yoga and running. Actionable Tip: Use yoga to build resilience and mental fortitude, skills that translate to all areas of life. Retreats, Workshops, and Lifelong Learning The Yoga Effect offers more than regular classes—it's a center for growth and exploration. Key Insights: Diverse Offerings: With 23–25 classes weekly and 15 teachers, there's something for every schedule and interest. Actionable Tip: Explore different class styles to find what resonates with you. Retreats and Workshops: Retreats combine yoga, meditation, journaling, and mindful eating, often inspired by longevity hotspots like Italy's Blue Zones. Actionable Tip: Attend a retreat or workshop to deepen your practice and connect with others. Continuing Education: Even experienced teachers benefit from learning and practicing with others. Actionable Tip: Stay curious. Take classes from different instructors and seek out new learning opportunities. Actionable Tips for Yoga Beginners Sally offers practical advice for those new to yoga or considering their first class. Step-by-Step Guide: Start with Gentle or Beginner Classes: Restorative yoga can be challenging for absolute beginners; gentle classes offer a supportive introduction. Use Props: Don't hesitate to use blocks, straps, or bolsters. They make poses more accessible and comfortable. Focus on Breath: Breathwork is foundational. Practice simple breathing exercises to calm the mind and body. Be Patient with Yourself: Progress takes time. Celebrate small victories and listen to your body. Take Advantage of Free Offers: The Yoga Effect offers a free first class—sign up online or email Sally directly (sally@theyogaeffect.com) and mention the podcast for your complimentary session. Prioritize Consistency Over Intensity: Regular practice, even if brief, is more beneficial than occasional intense sessions. Embracing Change and Finding Your Path Sally's story is a testament to resilience and the unexpected gifts of change. Key Insights: Turning Setbacks into Opportunities: Losing her corporate job at 40 was devastating, but it opened the door to a more fulfilling life teaching yoga and theater arts. Living Authentically: Sally's journey underscores the importance of aligning your work with your values and passions. Advice for Life's Crossroads: When faced with change, look for the hidden opportunities. Trust that new paths can lead to greater fulfillment. The Grayslake Spirit: Local Businesses and Community The episode is woven with shout-outs to Grayslake's vibrant business community, from physical therapy centers to local breweries and the farmer's market. Key Insights: Community Support: Local businesses, like The Yoga Effect, play a vital role in revitalizing and sustaining the town's spirit. Events and Engagement: Participating in local events, such as the farmer's market or bingo night, strengthens community bonds. Resource Sharing: The podcast's sponsors and guests highlight the value of sharing resources and supporting one another. Final Thoughts: Taking the First Step Yoga is self-care, community, and a path to personal growth. Sally Gill's story and The Yoga Effect's mission remind us that it's never too late to start, and that everyone—regardless of background or ability—can benefit from yoga.

In this episode of the Unconventional Ministry podcast, Dennis Wiens and Jon Hirst, (https://innovationinmission.com/) discuss the concept of innovation within ministry contexts. They explore the definition of innovation, the fear of change that many ministries face, and strategies for overcoming these barriers. Jon shares insights from his experience as a fractional innovation officer, highlighting inspiring projects that demonstrate the power of innovative thinking in addressing community needs. The conversation also explores the future of innovation, particularly in the context of AI integration, and how it can enhance the speed and effectiveness of ministry efforts. Ten (10) Takeaways to Consider: Innovation is not just about new technology; it's about creating value. Fear of change is a natural human response. Staying true to core values while innovating is possible. Reputation, risk, and resources are major barriers to innovation. Fractional innovation leadership makes innovation accessible for smaller ministries. Innovative projects can address multiple community needs simultaneously. AI is changing the landscape of innovation processes. Creative thinking can lead to sustainable growth in ministries. Innovation should align with God's mission and values. AI advancements will accelerate the future of innovation.

What happens when we stand at the threshold of transformation, no longer who we once were but not yet who we're becoming? Dr. BethAnne Kapansky Wright guides us through this sacred liminal space, sharing powerful passages from her book "Transformations of the Sun" that illuminate the courage required to embrace change.Key talking points include: • Reading from the poem "In Between" about no longer being the person you used to be while not yet becoming who you're stepping into• Personal story of leaving Alaska for Kauai and the emotional challenge of following soul guidance others couldn't understand• Exploration of "the wild unknown" - that spiritual wilderness where we must learn to trust our internal compass• Discussion of how initial certainty in decision-making often gives way to doubt when transformation becomes uncomfortable• Reflections on how our souls rejoice in the struggle even when our human minds resist change• Importance of having small anchors during change while still surrendering to the deeper processThe true gift of this episode lies in Dr. BethAnn's gentle reminder that transformation necessarily involves discomfort. When we follow a soul calling, we often experience initial certainty that later gives way to doubt and questioning. Yet it's precisely in this grappling that we discover unexpected strengths and access deeper wisdom. As she beautifully expresses through her poem "Submergence," we must allow ourselves to unravel before we can "knit ourselves back into new shapes and hue." The invitation is clear: can we trust our internal compass when external validation fails? Can we surrender to the "river beneath the river" and allow our soul's alchemy to unfold at its own perfect pace? Join Dr. BethAnn in this intimate exploration of what it truly means to trust the process of becoming who we're meant to be.--Your Heart Magic is a space where heart wisdom, spirituality, and psychology meet.

We're back! I brought all three of my kids onto the podcast for an unplanned family conversation about the whirlwind of changes hitting the Scott family all at once. Maggie's thriving in Orlando at Disney World, Jack just moved to Chattanooga for new opportunities, and Ali surprised us all by getting accepted to a ministry internship in Norwich, England after feeling God's call during a school trip.With all three kids officially launched, Jeff and I made the decision to sell our Franklin house and pursue financial freedom for the first time in our marriage. I'll be honest... having the house on the market feels invasive, and my kids definitely called me out for my magic eraser obsessions during showings.We dive into the realities of adulting (spoiler: everything is expensive), how faith becomes your own when you leave home, and why people don't grieve change itself but rather what they're losing.

In this episode of The Afterlight Podcast with Lauren Grace, Lauren is joined by intuitive astrologer Cara, the founder of StarPath by Cara. Cara shares her journey into astrology, the wisdom it offers as a “cosmic cheat code,” and why purpose isn't something fixed, but something that spirals and unfolds over time. The conversation explores how to trust our intuition, how to recognise when external forces are gently steeringus, and how surrendering — rather than overthinking — can open new doors. Lauren and Cara also discuss the changing world we're living in, from shifts in collective values to the role of AI, and how we can embrace change with compassion and curiosity instead of fear. Cara offers reflections on why small, authentic actions matter just as much as grand gestures, and how living in alignment with your truth can ripple out to change the world. The episode closes with Cara's mini-forecast for the rest of 2025, aligned with the Pisces eclipse. She shares what these energies are asking of us — surrender, recalibration, and clearing space — and why February 2026 marks a powerful new beginning for us all. This is a conversation about possibility, alignment, and the courage to meet life with openness. ----more---- Welcome to The Afterlight Podcast with Lauren Grace, a spiritual podcast full of stories and conversations that prove we're never alone.

Hogy vagy?”En: Today she arrived too, cheerful and spry: “Árpád! How are you?”Hu: „Jobban, köszönöm,” mondta Árpád, bár félszegen mosolygott.En: “Better, thank you,” said Árpád, although he smiled hesitantly.Hu: Enikő mellé telepedett, és ahogy a víz körülölelte őket, Árpád várt, majd mély levegőt vett.En: Enikő sat down next to him, and as the water enveloped them, Árpád waited, then took a deep breath.Hu: „Enikő... Gondolkodtam. Nem vagyok boldog a munkámmal.En: “Enikő... I've been thinking. I'm not happy with my job.Hu: Félek változtatni, de... kell valami más.”En: I'm afraid to change, but... I need something else.”Hu: Enikő bólintott, tudomásul véve a vallomást.En: Enikő nodded, acknowledging the confession.Hu: „Ez bátor dolog, Árpád. Az élet változás.En: “That's a brave thing, Árpád. Life is change.Hu: Mi lenne, ha azt csinálnád, amit igazán szeretsz?” kérdezte szemöldökráncolás nélkül, természetes egyszerűséggel.En: What if you did what you truly love?” she asked with natural simplicity, without a trace of frown.Hu: A fürdő meleg ölelésében, a párában lebegve, Árpád hirtelen tisztán érzett.En: In the warm embrace of the bath, floating in the steam, Árpád suddenly felt clear.Hu: Szívverése lassult, gondolatai elcsendesedtek.En: His heartbeat slowed, and his thoughts quieted.Hu: Látni kezdte az utat előtte.En: He began to see the path ahead.Hu: El kell fogadnia, hogy az élet a folyása, az áramlás, és ha beletörődve sodródik, talán boldogságra talál.En: He must accept that life is a flow, a current, and if he lets himself drift with it, he might find happiness.Hu: Később, amikor a vízből kilépett, a nap már lassan alászállt.En: Later, when he stepped out of the water, the sun was slowly descending.Hu: Árpád visszanézett az épületek között megcsillanó napfényre.En: Árpád looked back at the sunlight glinting between the buildings.Hu: Új ötletekkel, új céllal érzett izgalmat.En: With new ideas, he felt excitement for a new purpose.Hu: Most már tudta, hogy a változás nem a vég, csak az új kezdet.En: He now knew that change was not the end, just a new beginning.Hu: Árpád megértette, hogy eljött az ideje, hogy megváltoztassa életét egy új és boldogabb jövőért.En: Árpád understood that the time had come to change his life for a new and happier future.Hu: Amikor útnak indult a száradás után, tudta, hogy valami nagyot, valami igazán értékeset fog kezdeni.En: As he set out after drying, he knew he was about to start something big, something truly valuable.

Estimating design work in hours sets teams up to fail. But story points help designers earn trust, align with product managers, and keep creative space intact. This week, we unpack how adopting story points can shift the way your team plans and communicates.What if the secret to better collaboration wasn't a new tool or process, but a number?For years, UX teams have struggled with estimation. Say something will take ten hours, and suddenly you're locked into a number that doesn't account for iteration, alignment, or even creativity. The result? Broken trust and unrealistic expectations.This week, I chat with Naresh Shan, a design leader who's built global UX teams and proven that story points, not hours, are the secret to bridging the gap between design, engineering, and product management. By shifting estimation from time to effort, Naresh shows how design teams can protect creativity while building credibility with stakeholders.We explore what story points are, what it looks like when designers adopt them, why this shared language breaks down silos, and how it transforms team dynamics.If you've ever felt sidelined in sprint planning or struggled to explain your workload, this episode will give you practical ways to earn trust and plan smarter.Topics:• 03:02 Understanding Story Points in Agile Teams• 03:33 Interview with Nhan: The Power of Story Points• 08:24 The Fibonacci Sequence and Story Points• 13:20 Challenges and Solutions in Estimating Design Work• 22:24 Decentralized vs. Centralized Teams• 32:04 Maintaining Momentum and Team Cohesion• 35:27 Building Team Unity Through Gratitude• 35:58 Embracing Change and Leadership• 36:36 Benefits of Story Points in Design• 41:22 Implementing Story Points: A Practical Guide• 46:32 Balancing Design and Management RolesHelpful Links:• Connect with Naresh on LinkedIn• Value UX Conference• Aligned Podcast• Aligned Consulting—Thanks for listening!

There's something about music that cuts deeper than words alone. A single lyric, a familiar melody, or even the rhythm of a beat can stir memories we thought were long forgotten and awaken parts of ourselves we may have buried. It reminds us of who we were before the chaos, before the pain, before substances clouded our vision.  Pursuing our favorite hobbies before substance use can be a lifeline back to our core, a way of reclaiming the truest version of ourselves. Listen in as our guest this week shares how he turned his lifelong passion into purpose and found a way back home to himself. Skyler Ray was born on November 28, 1990, in San Jose, California. He grew up in foster homes and spent multiple years homeless—going from being locked up to sleeping on the sidewalks of downtown Portland. His music is deeply rooted in his life experiences, including addiction, incarceration, and homelessness. He is a firm believer in spreading hope and giving back to the community he once helped destroy. Since being released from prison on November 30, 2018, Skyler has refocused on his music and is determined to share his message with the world. He continues to live in Portland, Oregon, and remains clean and sober. In this conversation, Jamie Demeris and Skyler Ray discuss what it really takes to rebuild a life after addiction. Together, they explore the mindset shifts that turn relapse into resilience, why consistency and small steps matter more than giant leaps, and how reconnecting with your passions can anchor you in sobriety.  Skyler shares how music became both his therapy and his message, and why vulnerability and self-respect are the foundation of lasting recovery. Whether you're in recovery, supporting a loved one, or just searching for hope, this conversation will remind you that transformation is always possible. Topics Discussed: The importance of continuously working on yourself  Why relapse isn't a step back and how you can stand up stronger  Pursuing your passions and who you are at your core in sobriety Why small, consistent steps make the most impact Reconnecting with your why & remembering who you were before substances Learning to love and respect yourself — CHAPTERS:  ​​0:00 Introduction to Positive Recovery MD 01:10 Meet Skylar Ray: From Addiction to Recovery 02:16 Skylar's Battle with Addiction 03:56 Turning Point: Embracing Music and Sobriety 12:50 The Road to Recovery Tour 19:35 Overcoming Disbelief and Embracing Change 22:54 Climbing the Corporate Ladder 23:43 A Humbling Demotion 24:17 Prison Reflections and Personal Growth 26:22 Musical Journey and Personal Transformation 29:14 The Power of Sound and Recovery 33:23 Chasing Dreams and Overcoming Challenges 40:33 Tour Dates and Final Thoughts — Connect with Skyler Ray:  Road to Recovery Tour: https://www.officialskylerray.com/road-to-recovery-tour  Website: www.officialskylerray.com  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/therealSkylerRay  — Connect with PRC on Social: IG: https://www.instagram.com/positiverecoverycenters  FB: https://www.facebook.com/PositiveRecoveryCenters  TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@positiverecoverycenter  LI: https://www.linkedin.com/company/positiverecoverycenters  YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4JcDF1gjlYch4V4iBbCgZg   Want even more expert insights and support on the recovery journey?

In this special crossover episode, Mark welcomes longtime friend and psychiatrist Dr. Joe Shrand to discuss the power of self-awareness and the "I-M Approach"—a framework for understanding human behavior without shame or blame. The two explore what it means to share your voice, the long arc of legacy, and the lessons of 19th-century physician Ignaz Semmelweis, whose work saving lives was tragically dismissed. From creativity to conflict, social media to AI, Dr. Joe and Mark take listeners on a wide-ranging conversation grounded in kindness, curiosity, and connection. Learn more about Dr. Joe and his writing on his website and check out The Dr. Joe Show wherever you get your podcasts! Takeaways It's difficult to accept who you are if you're judging yourself. The I-M Approach allows for self-reflection and change. Legacy is about how you want to be remembered. Home and Social Domains significantly influence our identity. Creativity can be a powerful form of expression and escape. Semmelweis's story highlights the importance of challenging the status quo in medicine. We all want to feel valued and respected in our lives. Kindness does not equate to weakness; it requires strength. Trust is essential for open and honest relationships. Self-awareness is crucial for personal growth. Self-reflection is crucial amidst distractions. Hesitation in sharing one's voice can stem from fear and uncertainty. Overnight success is often a myth; persistence is key. Social media can be a powerful tool for spreading messages. Long-form conversations allow for deeper connections and understanding. Collaboration can amplify efforts to create change. AI has the potential to impact humanity positively if used wisely. Empathy is essential in conflict resolution and understanding diverse perspectives.
