Mark takes in the great outdoors with artist and musician Aldous Collins, diving into the role of gratitude, vulnerability, and authenticity in his work. Aldous reflects on his early musical influences, the evolution of his performance style, and how live interaction with audiences shapes his approach to art. The conversation touches on the intersection of music and visual expression, the power of community, and the inspiration found in nature. We also discuss the future of creativity in the age of AI, and why human connection remains at the heart of meaningful artistic expression. Check out Aldous' work on his website! Takeaways Creativity often stems from personal experiences and emotions. Gratitude plays a crucial role in the creative process. Vulnerability in art allows for deeper connections with audiences. Live performances create a unique bond between artist and listener. Art and music can serve as therapeutic outlets for expression. Embracing fear and uncertainty is essential for growth. Nature can inspire creativity and provide a sense of peace. Authenticity in art resonates more with audiences than perfection. The evolution of an artist's style is a natural part of their journey. AI may change the landscape of creativity, but human connection remains irreplaceable.

Welcome to Part Two of our village series, where I'm diving even deeper into what it really takes to find your people. This episode is all about busting the myth that you need a perfect group to fit into—because guess what? You're not a jigsaw puzzle piece. We talk about why we're so quick to judge, how our personal values (and parenting ideals) shape who we connect with, and how to balance being picky with being open. I also share a bit about my own friendships—the ones that have lasted, the ones that faded, and what I've learned along the way. If you're navigating motherhood without a ride-or-die, or just trying to figure out how to make real friends in this messy season, this one's for you.Timestamps:(00:02:28) Embracing Vulnerability for Building Adult Friendships(00:04:20) Navigating Social Awkwardness Without Alcohol(00:08:03) Embracing Vulnerability for Connection and BelongingJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

Jake plays shredding guitar for the band Eggy, which has been lighting up stages, and turning on fans with their unique brand of what I like to call “collaborative rock.” Jake is a super thoughtful and humble artist, who seeks to find joy in the moment, and he talks to me about how being vulnerable and seeking to be true to oneself is the key to living authentically — in both the arts and in one's personal life. Together, we explore the origins of the band, and go deep into self-exploration and what it means to really make a difference in people's lives with music.

In this VERY personal episode of Tami Talks: Unscripted Healing, I open up about my new relationship—three months in and already pulling back layers I thought I'd healed. After 2.5 years of healing alone—separating from a past relationship, parenting, rebuilding, and reconnecting with my inner child—I was finally at a place of peace. Or so I thought. Then love showed up. Not the fairytale kind. The real kind. The kind that gently (and sometimes not-so-gently) holds up a mirror to the wounds I was still carrying. My abandonment wounds. My people-pleaser. The voice that still whispers, “You'll never be good enough. You are such a burden.” This episode is vulnerable and full of reminders that God and the Universe send us the exact people and moments we need—not to break us, but to help us break open. You'll hear how I learned to stop projecting my pain, take ownership of my healing in real-time, and finally understand the difference between being a burden…and being a gift. ✨ You are not too much. ✨ You are not broken. ✨ You are worthy of love that sees the real you—and stays!

In this episode of The Future of Teamwork, Dane sits down with Massimo Backus, author of Human First, Leader Second, and founder of Massimo Backus Leadership. Massimo shares his journey of discovering self-compassion after a humbling experience in leadership and how that shaped how he now approaches leadership with self-awareness and self-compassion. Massimo advocates for emotional fluency within teams. He argues that when teams can freely express emotions, the emotions pass more quickly, helping people make clearer, more thoughtful decisions. They also reflect on the evolution of leadership, noting how we've been conditioned by industrial-era mindsets to always strive for progress even though we're human.

During a recent retreat I led for my business coaching clients, we had the opportunity to do a deep dive into visibility avoidance. We discussed this phenomenon that happens when we want to grow in new ways, but the prospect of heightened visibility holds us back. Sometimes, when we take steps into higher visibility opportunities, we are excited by the outcomes. But, shortly after the perceived win, we feel a sense of vulnerability that pulls us back to our pre-visibility zone of comfort, and we determine that pre-visibility space is the safer or more appropriate place for us to stay for the time being. Visibility can be wildly uncomfortable. It can bring up a lot of thoughts, feelings, and beliefs in which we create swirling narratives that are more harmful than helpful. When we get stuck here, we stunt our own growth. We shrink ourselves. We play small. We allow ourselves to tap into only a fraction of our full potential. In this episode, we explore the concept of visibility avoidance and highlight the common underlying self-limiting beliefs that hinder your personal and professional growth. I talk through how specific thought patterns undermine behavior patterns, keeping you accepting less than the best for yourself. Then, I give you simple steps for overcoming visibility avoidance that will allow you to strategically increase visibility through small steps over time, allowing you to reach those goals you've been dreaming of in a way that feels exciting and rewarding! This episode will help you recognize the payoffs of stepping into your full potential when you do it in a way that feels safe and aligned with who you are and where you want to go. Episode Highlights: 00:00 The Magic of Expansive Time 04:14 Understanding Visibility Avoidance 12:03 Overcoming Self-Limiting Beliefs 16:18 Strategies for Increasing Visibility 24:47 Embracing Vulnerability and Growth Links Mentioned: Hire me to speak: saradean.com/speaking Coach with me: https://saradean.com/executive-coaching-services Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/saradeanspeaks Interested in becoming a sponsor of the Shameless Mom Academy?

In this Tao Dialogues episode, David explores emotional vulnerability.Have you ever wondered why you shield yourself from vulnerability? Have you convinced yourself that your protective armour keeps you safe when, in truth, it imprisons you and denies you genuine connection and growth?This episode explores how to choose openness over fear, authenticity over illusion, and freedom over self-imposed limitations. Vulnerability is an act of trust, not in others, but in yourself. It is a quiet, powerful reclamation of who you have always been.Read the blog post that inspired this episode: https://davidjameslees.substack.com/p/embracing-vulnerabilityOur Tao Dialogues are powerful yet gentle teachings about authenticity, spirituality and finding emotional balance and flow in everyday life.
