Podcasts about embracing life

In this captivating episode of Soul Elevation, I was eager to sit down with Kristina Amelong, author of 'What My Brother Knew.'  I found Kristina's memoir profound, detailing her brother's uncanny psychic prediction of his own death, her personal journey through grief and trauma, and cultural attitudes towards death.  Our conversation also explores Kristina's expertise in holistic health, including the benefits of colonics and enemas, which were pivotal in her recovery from chronic illness.  Kristina's story of overcoming a traumatic childhood, addiction, and health challenges to find spiritual and physical healing is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. Additionally, we explore the powerful synchronicities that have guided her professional path, leading to the founding of the Optimal Health Network where she helps others heal through natural protocols. Kristina and I both felt the spirit of her brother, Jay, before we recorded, and we sensed he orchestrated the synchronicities which brought us together. May you be inspired and propelled on your spiritual journey through their shared story.

“You know what, from my experience, what I found out? That God tests you to see how much of this you can take before you say, ‘Let's just be finished with this.' He wants to show you something. He wants to see how much you can take, how much you can handle of life. You say you love life? You want to live life? I'm gonna show you life. Life is beautiful, but you have to accept the good and the bad as being beautiful.”– Mike TysonAt first glance, this quote might seem like an emotional reflection on life's hardships, but underneath it lies one of the most deeply Stoic messages you could ever hear. It's about embracing amor fati—the love of fate. It's about seeing every part of life, including pain and loss, as necessary and even beautiful.This podcast is listener-supported; if you would like to support the Strong Stoic (as well as gain access to exclusive content), you can do so on Patreon or Substack:Patreon: www.patreon.com/brandontumblinSubstack: https://strongstoic.substack.com

Who will you be?  Sharing personal stories—like the life-changing phone call with his daughter and powerful moments from his own health journey—Allan explores the importance of living up to who we're truly meant to be, rather than settling for the life we've drifted into.

Life is full of magical moments—if we're willing to be the first to say yes! In this episode of the Powerhouse Feng Shui Podcast, I share a powerful lesson about perspective, kindness, and stepping up as a leader in our own lives. A simple conversation with a stranger reminded me how much our outlook shapes our experiences, and how shifting our perspective can open up a world of possibilities. From an unexpected connection in Bali to an unforgettable experience at the New Earth Cookery School, I dive into the power of trusting synchronicities and following those little nudges from the universe. Whether it's dancing on tables, singing karaoke, or jumping into a river fully clothed, sometimes the best moments come when we embrace spontaneity and lead with joy. Just like Richard Branson says—you have to be the first one! Join me as I reflect on these beautiful experiences and how they align with the principles of Feng Shui and intentional living. How can we bring this energy of adventure, openness, and trust into our homes and lives? Let's explore how small shifts—whether in our mindset or our environment—can unlock powerful transformations. Ready to say yes to life's magic? Let's dive in!   Key Takeaways:  The way we see the world directly influences our experiences. The best experiences often come from saying yes, even when it feels unexpected or out of our comfort zone. Being open to spontaneity brings more fun, connection, and fulfillment into our lives. Small acts of kindness and genuine conversations can have a profound impact on both ourselves and others. We never know what ripple effect a single moment of connection might create.

Season 3, Episode 7 | "Is peace available in the midst of your chaos?" In this episode of Strong & Awake, Dane and Mitch challenge the notion that balance and comfort are the ultimate goals in life. They argue that living in perpetual comfort leaves us weak and asleep, and that true fulfillment comes from embracing voluntary discomfort. Through candid discussions, they explore how the pursuit of balance often masks a deeper desire for relief from stress, and how this pursuit can lead to a life of settling for less. They encourage listeners to confront the reality of life's challenges and to choose discomfort as a path to growth and resilience. By adopting practices that build resilience, individuals can transform their relationship with stress and unlock a life of greater agency and fulfillment. This episode is a call to action to redefine what it means to live a strong and awake life, and to find peace not in the absence of chaos, but through it.Chapters:00:00 Introduction01:16 The Illusion of Balance05:30 Comfort is an Idol10:23 Embracing Life's Hardships16:00 Voluntary Discomfort as Growth and Peace22:48 Machine or Garden30:26 Building Resilience Through HabitsMentions:Brene Brown - Mentioned in the context of people wearing stress and busyness as a badge of honor.David Allen's GTD (Getting Things Done) - Referenced as a productivity system that some people use to manage their time and tasks.Kierkegaard - Quoted for his comment about man finding the level of despair he can tolerate and calling it happiness.James Clear's "Atomic Habits" - Mentioned as a resourceful guide for building good habits and breaking bad ones.Anchor Actions:1. Embrace Voluntary Discomfort: Start incorporating small, manageable discomforts into your daily routine. This could be as simple as taking a cold shower, fasting until noon, or doing a daily workout. The goal is to build resilience and strength by choosing challenges that push you out of your comfort zone. These small acts can lead to significant personal growth and prepare you for larger challenges.2. Reevaluate Your Relationship with Stress: Instead of seeking constant relief or balance, begin to see stress as a natural part of life that can be navigated and even embraced. When stress arises, take a moment to assess how you're interpreting it. Are you viewing it as a burden or as an opportunity for growth? Shifting your mindset from avoidance to acceptance can transform how you handle life's challenges.3. Simplify and Focus: Take immediate action by decluttering your environment of things that don't serve your goals. For instance, clear out unhealthy foods from your pantry or eliminate distractions from your workspace. By reducing unnecessary clutter, you create space for more intentional living, making it easier to focus on what truly matters and aligns with your values.Join Us:Our Membership Community (MWOD) is where we embrace discomfort as a path to personal development.

Join us for this Feminine Power Time, Embracing Life's Jacket : 5 Inquiries to Find Clarity & Courage in Choppy Waters - one of the four Power Pauses we do each year, this one focused on the energy of Equinox, Harmonizing. Taking a Power Pause quarterly is one of the best practices for decreasing anxiety, increasing clarity, receiving guidance and gaining courage. When we pause at near the equinoxes and solstices, our internal rhythm aligns with the natural rhythm... we gain clarity on how to focus in the coming months + we take a stand to ensure you have the support and structure you need to hold you. Power pauses are a personal-leadership best practice, and a wise way to run your business, organization and team. Also must if you want to stay centered, sustained and sane in our current world. Every year I hold power pauses at this 4 key shifting points, the equinoxes and the solstices, March, June, Sept and Dec - within the Feminine Wisdom Way Collective, and for leaders  of teams, companies and organizations in which we do "Cyclical Strategic Planning." While the structure of each Equinox power pause is the same, every year we are different and every year the world is different. So I change up the flavor and focus based on what's needed.  This year, I felt compelled to share with you a series of 3 inquiries shared with me by one of my long-time mentors - Pele Rouge Chadima co-founder of Timeless Earth Wisdom. Plus 2 sustainable success and wellbeing inquiries we ask every year at this time.  The wisdom and inquiries have def been a life jacket for staying above the choppy waters of chaos, finding my way back to center when I fall  off my 'life raft," and answering the call to what's taking me into bigger waters.    It all centers around "Trusting Life" which is different than "trusting the Universe" .. in subtle but pretty profound ways - both are needed.  The first part of this episode I share what I have been learning through this lense of Trusting Life that has truly been a life-jacket. The second part I will take you through a ritual - like a labryrinth - with 5 inquiries to help you tune into the messages Life has for you, where your resistance might be, and what is calling you to accept and center into so you can receive the gift Life is trying to offer.  See you there,   Christine p.s. SHARE THIS POWER PAUSE WITH A FRIEND ... go through the inquiries together and then this year become re-harmonizers for each other when you get the wobbles or can't seem to find your centered truth.  ***** RESOURCES Wisdom Inquiries - Access on Feminine Power Time Podcast Page Timeless Earth WIsdom and Pele Rouge - https://www.centerfortimelessearthwisdom.org/  Other Equinox Power Pauses - These inquiries are different than the ones I  have done in Equinox Power Pauses in the past, but those inquiries are also still valid for finding imbalances, shifting habits, setting focused intentions - you can access the library of Equinox Power Pauses here.   CONNECT: Subscribe to Christine's Monthly Wisdom Letters - https://christinearylo.com/wisdom-letter-signup/ Linked in: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinearylo/ Feminine Wisdom Cafe - private online community: http://www.FeminineWIsdomcafe.com You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChristineArylo

#151 - What could inspire someone to leave a stable engineering career and venture into the unknown on a bicycle? Meet Jacob Lemanski, whose incredible journey of 999 days biking across the globe defies expectations and challenges societal norms. In this episode, Jacob shares his odyssey from rural Pennsylvania to the world stage, driven by a passion ignited during a cross-country bike tour at the tender age of 20. His story is not just about the miles traveled but the transformation of his life's path, as he finds fulfillment and a new identity through this daring adventure.Jacob's journey wasn't meticulously planned—quite the opposite. With minimal route mapping and a focus on spontaneous exploration, he embraced uncertainty, relying on robust gear and the support of a tracking device for peace of mind. Covering over 38,000 miles across six continents, Jacob reveals the logistics and challenges of traveling self-sufficiently, surviving on little more than food and water. It's a tale of resilience, an embrace of the unknown, and a testament to the power of living life on one's own terms.From the dangers of the Andean mountains to the serene beauty of the Yucatan Peninsula, Jacob recounts the highs and lows of life on the road. He opens up about the emotional challenges of disconnecting from modern communication and the profound joy found in nature's simplicity. The journey didn't just change his perspective; it led to a creative pivot—from engineering to founding Ant Life, an art company inspired by humble ant farms. Jacob invites listeners to experience the vastness of human potential and the world's beauty, offering inspiration to embark on their own journeys of discovery.Visit LandPirate.com to get your gear that has you, the adventurer, in mind.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to The Not Old Better Show. Acorns.  Acorns makes it easy for everyone to start saving and investing..I'm Paul Vogelzang, and if you've been searching for inspiration to live fully in the here and now, today's episode is exactly what you need. Our guest is Dallas Collis, author of The Gift, a powerful and profoundly moving book about breaking free from the stories we tell ourselves and embracing the incredible freedom of living in the present. Dallas has walked a long and challenging path—facing trauma, addiction, loss, and even staring down his own mortality. But rather than letting those moments define him, he found clarity, resilience, and a profound understanding of life's true gift: the present moment.   In our conversation, Dallas will share how he went from being trapped by his own story to experiencing the liberating power of the “blue sky” that's always been there, just beyond the clouds of our worries and past pain. You'll hear his insights on putting down the heavy baggage we all carry and how living intentionally can transform every aspect of our lives, no matter your age or circumstances.   We'll also talk about the practical steps he recommends—like collapsing life into manageable, joyful moments—and how we can all take those steps, starting today. Trust me, you'll leave this episode feeling lighter, inspired, and ready to take on your 16 hours with a new mindset.   So, let's get started! Please join me in welcoming Dallas Collis to The Not Old Better Show. My thanks to Acorns for sponsoring today's episode.
