Podcasts about Expecting

In today's episode I talk about setting boundaries and sticking to them (despite others being unhappy about it.) We often get push back when we set boundaries, especially in friendships and relationships, which is why it's important to be clear with your expectations and stand your ground. I talk about my experience in past relationships, learning that it's okay for others to not understand how you feel, walking away when a boundary has been crossed, the difference between boundaries and walls and figuring out what's important to you and your values.

OUTWEIGH: Have you ever gone to start a new plan or program, and on the surface you're gung- ho -- ready to take it by the reins, deeply committed, and hoping (praying!) that this time really IS different -- that this will be the 'the thing' that changes everything for you...   ...but secretly in the back of your mind, you're WAITING for it to fail?   Perhaps you're even outright EXPECTING it to fail, because you know in your heart-of-hearts that even though the plan or the program itself might be different....   ...you know deep down that YOU haven't changed -- that you haven't gotten your mind, your head, your brain, and your heart aligned in a way that WOULD cause things to be different?   Don't worry, you are SO not alone. This is one of the most common struggles that women have today when it comes to their relationships with food, their bodies, and themselves.   In this week's episode of Outweigh we are going to get you clear on exactly why this happens (why you lose trust in yourself or in the possibility that it will ever get any better), and how you can finally shift this for good. Link Mentioned:  Watch the Stressless Eating Webinar where Leanne walks you through her exact 5 Step Game Plan her clients use to heal themselves from the all-or-nothing diet mentality for good....but WITHOUT restricting themselves, punishing their bodies, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn)

In this episode Christy and Rob discuss: The way that our mind works  How people get stuck in a rabbit hole of worries  Finding the positive thoughts  Key Takeaways:  The mind is always taking us to move towards something that we want, and running away from something that we don't want. Our mind worries about things that might not happen and that's wasting our energy, consciousness and creative resource.  Letting your thoughts wander from worry to worry will invite more worries into your mind. That's the law of attraction. When you have a thought and your consciousness focuses on that thought, you become one with that thought.  We are not the thoughts that we think we are not our mind. We are the lifeforce that beats our hearts where the energy that flows through us, and we can actually be the witness to our minds. Be present in the moment and take charge of your thoughts, the existence of negative thoughts confirms the possibility for you to create positive ones.    “Worrying about anything is really a prayer for what you don't want.” - Christy Whitman   Join Christy & The Council as they take you through processes to create more ease and flow in your energy, physical, emotional, and mental bodies so you can thrive and feel good in every aspect of your life by clicking here: https://thedesirefactor.com/qls  Get The Desire Factor Book at https://thedesirefactor.com/     Connect with Christy Whitman: Website: https://www.christywhitman.com/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChhSCDQ_U3cYtCejM9DSVJw  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christywhitman1/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/christywhitmaninternational/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChristyWhitman  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/christywhitman1    Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

It's Amy here and I am really excited for today's episode because I will be telling the story of our third son's birth. If you are looking for other birth stories, be sure to check out episodes #3 and #15.This birth has such a special place in my heart. It was challenging but doable, hard but beautiful all at the same time. I share how my husband Drew played such an important role in Cole's birth. He was an advocate for me and his support gave me faith to know that we were ready to raise three little men together.Cole's birth was definitely the most mentally challenging for me. But we got through it. There's going to be times in birth that you have to reset yourself and reset your mind. It's okay to have that moment of doubt but it's so important to be able to get right back into that 'how am I going to make it through this' mindset.Expecting and Empowered App - For 30% off your first year enter ‘MOMPOD30' at checkout!

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: An artificially structured argument for expecting AGI ruin, published by Rob Bensinger on May 7, 2023 on LessWrong. Philosopher David Chalmers asked: [I]s there a canonical source for "the argument for AGI ruin" somewhere, preferably laid out as an explicit argument with premises and a conclusion? Unsurprisingly, the actual reason people expect AGI ruin isn't a crisp deductive argument; it's a probabilistic update based on many lines of evidence. The specific observations and heuristics that carried the most weight for someone will vary for each individual, and can be hard to accurately draw out. That said, Eliezer Yudkowsky's So Far: Unfriendly AI Edition might be a good place to start if we want a pseudo-deductive argument just for the sake of organizing discussion. People can then say which premises they want to drill down on. In The Basic Reasons I Expect AGI Ruin, I wrote: When I say "general intelligence", I'm usually thinking about "whatever it is that lets human brains do astrophysics, category theory, etc. even though our brains evolved under literally zero selection pressure to solve astrophysics or category theory problems". It's possible that we should already be thinking of GPT-4 as "AGI" on some definitions, so to be clear about the threshold of generality I have in mind, I'll specifically talk about "STEM-level AGI", though I expect such systems to be good at non-STEM tasks too. STEM-level AGI is AGI that has "the basic mental machinery required to do par-human reasoning about all the hard sciences", though a specific STEM-level AGI could (e.g.) lack physics ability for the same reasons many smart humans can't solve physics problems, such as "lack of familiarity with the field". A simple way of stating the argument in terms of STEM-level AGI is: Substantial Difficulty of Averting Instrumental Pressures: As a strong default, absent alignment breakthroughs, STEM-level AGIs that understand their situation and don't value human survival as an end will want to kill all humans if they can. Substantial Difficulty of Value Loading: As a strong default, absent alignment breakthroughs, STEM-level AGI systems won't value human survival as an end. High Early Capabilities. As a strong default, absent alignment breakthroughs or global coordination breakthroughs, early STEM-level AGIs will be scaled to capability levels that allow them to understand their situation, and allow them to kill all humans if they want. Conditional Ruin. If it's very likely that there will be no alignment breakthroughs or global coordination breakthroughs before we invent STEM-level AGI, then given 1+2+3, it's very likely that early STEM-level AGI will kill all humans. Inadequacy. It's very likely that there will be no alignment breakthroughs or global coordination breakthroughs before we invent STEM-level AGI. Therefore it's very likely that early STEM-level AGI will kill all humans. (From 1–5) I'll say that the "invention of STEM-level AGI" is the first moment when an AI developer (correctly) recognizes that it can build a working STEM-level AGI system within a year. I usually operationalize "early STEM-level AGI" as "STEM-level AGI that is built within five years of the invention of STEM-level AGI". I think humanity is very likely to destroy itself within five years of the invention of STEM-level AGI. And plausibly far sooner — e.g., within three months or a year of the technology's invention. A lot of the technical and political difficulty of the situation stems from this high level of time pressure: if we had decades to work with STEM-level AGI before catastrophe, rather than months or years, we would have far more time to act, learn, try and fail at various approaches, build political will, craft and implement policy, etc. This argument focuses on "human survival", but from my perspec...

Miami Hurricanes coaches and staffers are dropping hints and “bat signals” on Monday morning that Transfer Portal commitments could be on the way. Host Alex Donno believes the Canes are in a great spot with defensive tackles Tywone Malone (Ole Miss), Keivie Rose (Louisiana Tech) and offensive lineman Amaury Wiggings (JUCO.) Donno is also optimistic about the Canes' chances for JUCO WR Shemar Kirk, who plans to make his announcement on May 13th. Could other announcements happen before Kirk's? Stay Tuned.  Donno discusses which positions Cristobal considers to be the strengths and weaknesses of the team and where Miami stands in the present and future at running back. The Hurricanes have been named a finalist for 2024 3-star RB Kewan Lacy and will receive a June official visit from 5-star RB Jerrick Gibson in June. Miami already has a verbal commitment from 3-star South Broward RB Chris Wheatley-Humphrey. Donno describes where Miami stands with 5-star defensive line recruits like David Stone and Justin Scott.  You can chat with Donno any time on our new Subtext SMS texting service.

Born and raised in a Muslim family, Brother Maksud says it's a miracle he is now a follower of Jesus Christ. Maksud's first years of life were under communist rule as his country was part of the Soviet Union, but it became independent, and more Islamic, after the fall of the USSR. As different factions battled for post-Soviet control, civil war broke out, a difficult time for Maksud and all of his countrymen. Yet good news was coming. Listen as Maksud tells how he was impacted by seeing the JESUS Film and hearing Jesus speak Maksud's own language. He'll share how a Christian stepped into his family's life, becoming a faithful friend and sharing stories from the Bible about God. Years later Maksud heard those same stories at a free Taekwondo lesson, another step on his pathway to following Jesus. When Maksud first stepped into a church, he was shocked. It was a completely different atmosphere from anything he'd known. It was full of love; people greeted him by name with hugs. He was floored when believers at the church told him they had been praying for him for more than a year. At age 18, Maksud made the decision to follow Jesus. His younger brother wasn't far behind. When they shared their Christian faith with their mom, she cried, knowing their family would be shamed and face persecution in their Muslim culture. Maksud's father was not home when they announced their newfound faith to their mother. When he heard of their decision, he asked both brothers to confirm their decision to follow Jesus. Expecting their father to be angry, both young men said that yes, they had become Christians. Their father's response shocked them: “Thanks to God. Two years ago, I gave my life to Christ. I didn't know how to tell you, but I was praying for you guys.” Many people in Central Asia, upon sharing their faith in Christ with family members, face beatings, rejection, and being kicked out of their home. Even though Maksud didn't experience persecution from inside his home, he knew that he and his brothers would be persecuted by others. Today Maksud is a pastor, and his brother also pastors a church. Listen as he tells how we can pray for his people in Central Asia, including praying that whole families will come to Christ together. Never miss an episode of VOM Radio! Subscribe to the podcast.

There are times when getting organized is going to be easier. I call these Golden Windows.  Some Golden Windows are given to all of us - like January (new year), spring and fall. The new year is all about starting the year off with a fresh start and achieving new goals. Spring and fall are both times of the year when there are big season shifts and you get a burst of energy. The spring energy lends itself well to planning and the fall energy lends itself well to productivity. Common Golden Windows include: Expecting a child Moving or selling your home When your youngest child starts school When your youngest child starts middle school When your youngest child starts driving Milestone birthdays If you want to hear a more in depth definition of Golden Windows, listen to this podcast. Today's episode is going to focus on a question I get a lot - how long do Golden Windows last? This depends on the type of Golden Window you're experiencing. There are long and short Golden Windows. A long Golden Window is something you can anticipate. A short Golden Window is one where you don't realize you're in a Golden Window until you're already in it. In a short Golden Window, you don't get to plan ahead so the energy fizzles out fast. An example of a long Golden Window could be pregnancy. You know you are going to have a baby so you have months and months to plan, re-organize, nest and prepare. An example of a short Golden Window could be adoption. When we adopted Joey, we got a call at 5 pm and by 7 pm we had a baby! Each Golden Window, no matter whether it is short or long, is an opportunity not to be overlooked! And while the length of time that Golden Window will be open for you depends on a lot of factors (outside of your control) there are certain things you can do to get the most out of it. Here are my three recommendations for making the most of a Golden Window: Anticipate Optimize Extend Understanding your Golden Windows allows you to get so much more out of these amazing bursts of energy. Listen in to find out how to anticipate, optimize and extend your Golden Windows for maximum impact.

You owe $5,000 dollars. One thing leads to another and the state is going to take your property and sell it to pay your tax debt. The state does its thing and sells your home for $500,000. Expecting to get a check for $495,000, you wait patiently at your mailbox for that payment. Surprise! It will never arrive. That's right, the law says that no matter how little you owe, the government gets to keep ALL of the proceeds from the sale of your home! It is all legal and you are screwed. To make it even worse, you later find out that a business was allowed to buy your home for what you owed - $5,000! Of course, the fact that this buyer was a HUGE political contributor to those that decided who gets to buy your home had nothing to do with it. Don't even suggest that crazy conspiracy theory you nutjob! —————————————————————————————————————————————————— ➡️ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rebelbroker/ ➡️ Twitter: https://twitter.com/rebelbroker ➡️ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whitelawre/

In this episode, we we meet Cindy Shuster, mother + parent coach. Note, we didn't say parenting coach. Because Cindy specializes in helping the parents. Not just with their children, but with themselves. That's where it all begins. We cover:Cindy's "meltdown moment" when she lost it on her family, and how it was both an epiphany and a turning point when she learned the importance of setting clear boundaries and communicating expectations before reaching our boiling point.Cindy suggests that while it would be great for family members to step up without being asked, the kindest thing we can do for them is do our own work: set boundaries, remember your innate value, and stop doing things we actually don't want to do in order to get approval and validation.Cindy has learned to be comfortable with her kids' struggles. While none of us enjoy watching our kids suffer, Cindy talks about the importance of having the capacity to tolerate their challenges without the knee-jerk reaction to fix them, and how for many of us, fixing our kids' problems boils down to this: "Can I please hurry up and make this feeling in myself go away?""You are your child's favorite toy, so stop being so exciting when they are misbehaving." Cindy talks about the importance of positive connection vs focusing only on problem behavior. Cindy sheds light on some particularly "American styles of parenting" that are harming our kids—including a focus on achievement, too much interference, and an intolerance for failure. Cindy says, "Kids develop resilience by feeling competent in their own life."With all the information, opinions, and resources out there, Cindy reminds us that the most important thing is for us to return to our own intuition and parent with confidence. "You don't have to look to the left and the right."Cindy's first question to parents; "What are you doing for self-care?" The oxygen mask analogy is true—you can't help anyone if you aren't filling your own tank every day. Cindy Shuster is a PCI® certified parent coach and a Nurtured Heart Approach® Trainer. For the past 7 years, she has been working with parents and educators to provide effective and transformational strategies that improve relationships with the children in their care. Cindy has her B.S. and M.S. in education with a minor in Child Psychology. Prior to parent coaching, Cindy worked as an elementary teacher for 10 years. Cindy has lived in the Baltimore area for 30+ years with her husband and 3 sons. Cindy is passionate about helping families and educators navigate the complex challenges of modern-day parenting and classroom management. She is on a mission to bring more peace and joy into homes and classrooms!Website: https://parentcoachcindy.com/Instagram: @parentcoachcindyFor 30% Off the DIY Boudoir Course, visit:http://motherplus.diybombshell.com/And use code MOTHERPLUSMOTHER PLUS INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/mother_plus_podcast/MOTHER PLUS FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/motherpluspodcastMOTHER PLUS PERMISSION SLIP: https://www.motherplusser.com/Permission-SlipMOTHER PLUS NEWSLETTER: https://www.motherplusser.com/signup-pageMOTHER PLUS BLOG: https://www.motherplusser.com/blog

Expecting your first child can be an overwhelming time, with so much to acquire, learn, and do before baby arrives. The thought of trying to do all that and be environmentally friendly at the same time might feel like too much, but never fear!

Listen for the do's and don'ts of getting secondhand items, how to cut down on microplastics, and whether or not cloth diapers are as eco-friendly (or as scary) as you might think.  Resources for this episode: Climate change is making people think twice about having children Environmental Impact of Feeding with Infant Formula in Comparison with Breastfeeding - PMC Disposable Diaper - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics Facts | Breastfeeding | CDC Study: Plastic Baby Bottles Shed Microplastics When Heated.

I had to tell my family about this because we just usually speak things without knowing the power behind them. Any negative thing was speak has a 10x chance to happen versus speaking positive. - Also learning more about affirmations & using them in my favor some are my favorite are "Abundance & Happiness are my birth right" "What I Desire, Desires Me More, The Money I'm Seeking is Seeking Me More." Speaking Affirmations aren't just it, you have to believe in what you're saying. - A book I reccommend to understand more about Affirmations & The Subsconcious Mind is "The Power of The Subconscious Mind" - Learning about Your Subconscious Mind will help you realize the power that you have & this book gives you a clear understanding of how to use it in your favor. - Journaling has been big for me but I've been unconsistent but I'm learning the power of journaling and how it helps me. - Journaling at the end of the day helps me decompress & leave the day on the paper. - If you don't journal I highly reccommend it so that you can understand yourself more. - I began taking Gratitude Walks & getting Sunlight daily, which helps me mentally & shows appreication for everything I have & the things that are coming. Getting sunlight early helps me regulate my Circadian Rhythm & gives me better sleep throughout the night. - Meditating has been huge for me over the last decade & I decided to meditate 3x a day - Helps me with my emotions & self-control, I feel grounded everytime I meditate. - I honestly didn't know what to expect for 30 but I'm grateful for everything I learned, I've also cultivated a Positive Environment for myself because I know how that's beneficial to my Growth & Well-being. - My social media feeds are all positive, the people I hang around are positive, & I'm always speaking Positivity to myself. WHAT I EXPECT FROM 31? - Since 2023 started I've been going through an identity shift and now that I'm 31 I'm stepping into that identity. - I know what I have to do for myself & my family as well as my future wife. - This year I'm expecting to impact Thousands of people when it comes to their Personal Development weather it's from Podcasting or Coaching. - I have a lot of surprises for y'all for Year 31 it's my Reggie Miller Year so be ready from interviews, to deep research on Mental/Brain Health, I don't want to give out too much but I know y'all will Love & appreciate it. - As far as myself I'm investing more in myself, reading books, More Ted Talks, Meditating 3x a day, Praying 5x a day, & expressing Gratitude for everything.

In any discipleship situation, the discipler's theology must inform their discipleship process. Theology and application act as guardrails to keep the counseling process moving in the right direction while avoiding the inevitable hazards that inferior theology and deficient applications cause. Maintaining this type of counseling equilibrium has several benefits, such as keeping the discipler from losing hope or even sinning while caring for others. The Bible provides us with an case study to make this point.
