This episode is a real-time walk through the season I'm in right now. Life feels full. Emotional. Heavy in places. Expansive in others. And instead of pushing through or trying to “fix” myself, I'm living differently. In this episode, I talk about the foundational pieces that hold me when things feel like a lot: – the walk – the block – nervous system regulation – building foundation before intensity – why tone still matters (and how it fits now) – and what This Is How I Live Now actually looks like in real life I share how walking daily became my anchor, why I don't skip foundation, and how Tone and THE VIBE support strength, regulation, and consistency without burnout. We also move into: – the meaning of THE VIBE inside of Tone (private school energy) – how I'm thinking and living differently in this season – my nighttime rituals and why sleep is sacred now – and the mindset shifts, sayings, and manifestations I use when life feels heavy This episode connects directly to: – the This Is How I Live Now guide + workbook – a new blog post on my night must-haves and rituals (all links are there) – and Session 2 inside THE VIBE (bonus content for Private School) If you're craving a quieter, more intentional space, you're also invited to HER Feed—our private, safe community off social media.

The Michael Jordan Tragedy (The High Achiever's Curse: Part 3)That voice in your head that says, "You're slipping," or "It's not enough"—that is not your motivation. That is your abuser.Welcome to Part 3 of "The High Achiever's Curse: Healing The Void." In this lesson, we are dismantling the "Shame Engine." You've been told that you need to be hard on yourself to achieve greatness, but the story of Michael Jordan proves otherwise.In this lesson, you will learn why shame didn't create your talent—it hijacked it. We are going to separate who you really are from the abusive inner coach that has been driving your success at the cost of your happiness.IN THIS EPISODE:1- The "Michael Jordan" Trap: Why using shame as fuel eventually destroys you.2- The difference between "Healthy Drive" (Expansive) and "Shame Drive" (Contracted).3- Why sarcasm is actually "veiled anger" and violence against the self.

Leadership isn't about a position; it's a lifelong practice.This perspective highlights the strategic use of informal networks and collaboration to drive systemic change. For decades, we have had the narrative focused on “fixing women” to fit leadership moulds rather than addressing systemic biases and looking at how to fix the system.In this conversation we explore how the very skills often dismissed as "soft"—context awareness, emotional agility, adaptive thinking, collaborative workload management—are exactly what drives systemic change. Research backs this up: women managers disproportionately champion DEI initiatives and build stronger teams. Yet these skills remain undervalued.Why? Because we haven't disrupted the power dynamics that determine what "leadership" looks like.Real change happens when we: Build cross-functional coalitions; Make implicit power structures more explicit; Consciously leverage privilege to create space for different approaches ;Use informal networks intentionally & strategically to create momentumThis isn't about adding more women to broken systems. It's about redesigning the systems themselves.Jodi generously shares her research, insights and experience as weexplore how leadership, courage, and values converge—and how factors like caregiving, generational wisdom, and a career-long view can transform how we lead today.The main insights you'll get from this episode are :Leadership is about collaborating, creating better workplaces/community environments, and bringing together courage and values - caregiving, generational wisdom and a career-long view of impact can transform leadership.It takes courage to transcend hierarchy - leadership is not a title or position, but a lifelong practice to overcome the fear of retribution; finding moments of clarity aligned with our values makes this easier to withstand.Integrity and clarity bring courage and confidence; we always have agency, which can become leadership capital and have a lasting legacy – the need for women to constantly codeswitch between multiple identities brings many skills, e.g. communication, holding space, EQ, context intelligence, etc.The skills to navigate complexity involve mental and emotional agility; we can use these skills to disrupt systems and biases to leverage strategic thinking and relationships - formal leadership provides a platform and greater sphere of influence (to bring about change).It is important to seek allies in a network of champions and create our own spaces - being effective is an act of disruption and diplomacy, and positioning goals in the context of the mission and organisation appeals to people's decency.The informal nature of power dynamics makes values-driven leadership difficult to maintain against a backdrop of value clashes – a career journey will wax and wane in terms of value alignment, but courage comes from the collective, by building a diverse and cohesive team in an effective space for shared values.Younger generations see leadership differently, and have more interest in racial justice, feminism, LGBTQ rights, etc. - different experiences give rise to new questions and subsequently new thinking.Smart organisations will capitalise on the knowledge and ideas of young people and bring it to the leadership -...

In recent weeks we've been uploading some episodes from about 15 years ago that were recently discovered. This, however, is not one of those. It aired in early 2026. Stay tuned though. More oldies are on their way! When comparing the world's religions on the subject of contemplation/meditation, Christianity can point to a tradition of monasteries where monks and nuns have engaged in such practices for centuries. Yet, very little has filtered down to those in the pews. One reason so many Christians turned to the wisdom of the East is the the deep-seated desire to learn the art of sitting in silence. In our conversation with Jacob here we see that there is an attempt to encourage Christians (in this case, Catholics) to embrace this path of sacred stillness. Theme music "Nigal."

Are you feeling the pressure to have a "brand new you" this year, but you're still stuck in the same old skin? In this episode, Coley and Nina peel back the layers on the stories we tell ourselves. We're moving past the "New Year, New Me" clichés and getting into the messy reality of identity shifts. From the dance between masculine and feminine energies to the exhausting weight of people-pleasing, we ask the hard questions: Why do we feel the need to be understood by everyone? Is it okay to be the "sidekick" in a world obsessed with main characters? And how do we keep "breaking through" when the world keeps trying to make us small? If you've ever felt like you're "too much" and "not enough" at the same time, this honest, unpolished check-in is for you. We're embracing the cocoons, the hibernation, and the beautiful, inevitable evolution of who we're becoming. In this episode, we cover: Why "over-explaining" is the enemy of self-trust. The difference between "settling" and finding your natural gift as a supporter. How to handle the fear of adding more "noise" to the world. The 2026 vibe: Expansive energy and owning the room.

Get an intimate and grounded perspective on what truly unfolds after sacred and expansive travel. I share how I personally settle, integrate, and embody the energies and activations collected on pilgrimage — not just within myself, but in my family life, work, body, and everyday rhythms.Sacred travel doesn't end the moment you return home.It's an ongoing initiation that flows through your nervous system, your cellular memory, your dreams, and the environment around you. In this episode, I guide you into the art of travel integration — how to anchor transformative journeys, sacred site energies, and frequency upgrades gently, sustainably, and without overwhelm.This is about stepping fully into the role of a living vessel for what you encountered — letting the codes settle, reorganize, and ripple through your life from the inside out.

Alexandra Light, choreographer, creative researcher, and former principal dancer with Texas Ballet Theater, joins me for a conversation that weaves together artistry, identity, and the evolution of a dancer's life. Her work has been shaped by residencies at places like Jacob's Pillow and often explores ecology, feminist history, and the body as a site of memory and transformation.At just 18, Alexandra moved into Houston Ballet's second company. She reflects on the intensity of that transition, the endurance it required, and the lifelong friendships formed during that pivotal year. She shares the lessons that helped her survive a full schedule of morning class followed by demanding rehearsals and how those habits shaped her professional resilience.For dancers who feel stronger as performers than technicians, Alexandra opens up about standing out in open calls despite feeling the same way early in her career. She walks through her progression from apprentice to principal dancer at Texas Ballet Theater, reminding us that careers are built on a blend of hard work, timing, luck, and the needs of a company.Alexandra also talks about recognizing the moment it was time to retire, a decision influenced by both intuition and logistics. Less than a year into retirement, she explains how shifting toward choreography was the biggest factor and why watching live ballet now fills her with excitement rather than longing.When asked to describe her choreography, Alexandra uses three striking words: expansive, dramatic, and curious. She shares how she builds work (from music-driven ideas to research-heavy processes) like her recent piece exploring the overlooked women who influenced Frank Lloyd Wright's success.We also discuss her commitment to making ballet more sustainable and accessible. Alexandra recounts a formative moment that drove her to create work for audiences who have never had access to ballet. She also opens up about sustaining her own creativity and the role nature plays in her artistic practice.This episode is rich with insight, honesty, and inspiration for dancers, dance lovers, and anyone navigating a creative path.Connect with Alexandra:Visit Alexandra's Website: https://www.alexandralight.art/Follow Alexandra on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/farbie/Links and Resources:Get your copy of The Ultimate Audition GuideSchedule your Complimentary Career Consultation: https://www.thebrainyballerina.com/career-mentoringLet's connect!My WEBSITE: thebrainyballerina.comINSTAGRAM: instagram.com/thebrainyballerinaQuestions/comments?

In a recent letter to Judge Subramanian, Sean Combs' legal team expressed concern over extensive pretrial publicity that they believe is compromising his right to a fair trial and the integrity of grand jury proceedings. They referenced a pending motion to limit extrajudicial statements by potential witnesses and their counsel, which the government has opposed, with Combs' reply due on November 8, 2024. Citing the immediate risk posed by ongoing public statements related to the grand jury, they requested the court to promptly restrict such extrajudicial comments during the motion's consideration.In this episode, we take a look at that motion.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Draft Combs 23.1 Letter 110124 [trg]

Supreme Court Arguments on Presidential Tariff Authority and NYC Mayor-Elect. Professor Richard Epstein analyzes Supreme Court arguments regarding the President's expansive use of a 1977 law to impose tariffs, predicting a likely 7-2 ruling against the administration. Epstein argues that viewing successful worldwide trade as an "emergency" is intellectually flawed and an abuse of executive discretion. Separately, he expresses concern that New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, a self-proclaimed socialist lacking administrative experience, risks impoverishing the city by ignoring competitive federalism.

Padma Lakshmi is unquestionably a woman of taste. As a host of the beloved food-competition series “Top Chef” and the star of the culinary docuseries “Taste the Nation,” she's spent nearly two decades artfully conveying—and critiquing—flavors and aromas for an audience. Before that, she was a fashion writer and model, cultivating her own sense of what's worth wearing and seeing. And she isn't done evolving: she's recently begun performing standup comedy, an art form with a notoriously steep learning curve. In a live taping at The New Yorker Festival, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz talk with Lakshmi about the difference between discernment and pickiness, how travel has expanded her taste, and her approach to rendering judgement on TV. “I see my job as helping,” Lakshmi says. “I see my job as being the person in the kitchen who's saying, ‘Does this need a little salt?' ”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Top Chef” (2006—)“Taste the Nation” (2020-23)“RuPaul's Drag Race” (2009—)“American Idol” (2002—)“Project Runway” (2004—)“Padma's All American,” by Padma Lakshmi“Padma Lakshmi Walks Into a Bar,” by Helen Rosner (The New Yorker)“Art in the Age of Artificial Intelligence” (The New Yorker)Dijon's “Baby”“Frankenstein” (2025)New episodes drop every Thursday.

This meditation journeys from constriction to compassion. We begin in the inner posture of Sodom—guarded, withholding, fearful of scarcity. Like Lot retreating to Zoar, we notice our own impulse to shrink from relationship, to seek safety in smallness. With the breath, we soften that stance, opening toward the expansiveness embodied by Abraham—who, the rabbis teach, carried the whole world in his heart. We feel the spaciousness of that heart: generous, hospitable, alive with care. From this place of openness, we cultivate moral courage—the readiness to speak, to intercede, to stand for justice as Abraham did before God. The practice closes in stillness, holding both vulnerability and strength: the movement from self-protection to sacred advocacy, from narrowness to love that shelters others within it.

Much of what shapes our faith isn't chosen—it's absorbed. Cultural assumptions, habits, and default ways of thinking often guide our lives more than the gospel itself. In this series, we're exploring shifts in how we see God, ourselves, and the world— Together, we're asking better questions, reexamining what we've inherited, and taking fresh steps toward a more faithful way of life.

Today, I'm bringing you my keynote speech from the 2025 Powerhouse Women Event, where I got on stage to reflect back on my journey of expansion, of remembering, this past year. I share the moment everything transformed and I gave myself the permission to come home to the most authentic version of myself I've ever felt. I also guide you through how to listen to your intuition, even when things feel uncertain or scary, in order to find the truth of who you are and who you are meant to be.   HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 How I came home to the most authentic version of myself. 03:25 What was the moment that transformed everything for me? 06:05 My Powerhouse moment of discovering what true freedom means. 08:40 How to move forward into abundance and find your truth.   RESOURCES + LINKS Powerhouse Women is a COMMUNITY and YOU are part of it!

We went DEEP at this year's Powerhouse Women event and I said it from stage, but this was the most expansive event we've done so far. In this episode, I'm sharing what was different about this year, why your triggers are powerful guides, and how to unlock your next level by trusting your intuition. This conversation is a reminder that expansion usually doesn't look like you think it will. It might even have you completely rethink how you think about growth.   HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 What was different about this year's Powerhouse Women Event? 04:05 What makes getting in the room so expansive? 07:20 Why we added a third day to the Powerhouse Women Event. 10:40 How this year pushed me to deepen my intuition. 14:20 A sneak peek into the 2026 Powerhouse Women Event!   RESOURCES + LINKS Join the 2026 Powerhouse Women waitlist HERE!
