Podcasts about facing reality

Carl and Mike open up the show with their thoughts on the Braves suffering another series loss as they dropped two of three to the Red Sox over the weekend as both the guys agree the Braves may have the reality nothing is going to change for the team as they continue look for answers to turn their season around, especially at the plate. As they discuss they also question if a bold move like potentially parting ways with Brian Snitker could be the answer which could move the needle for the Braves.

What triggered my climate denial bubble to burst? I feel compelled to share this personal experience, in the hope that it might help others who are also struggling with the current sustainability crisis and searching for a path forward…This is an ENCORE episode of the conscient podcast from season 1, episode 1, first published on April 30, 2020.Kaboom !You'll understand what this Kaboom is about in a few minutes. This episode…explores my reaction, or at least my experience, when I became much more aware of the climate emergency and what it meant to me and to my family in particular, my daughterOur daughter Clara was 17 when I recorded this episode. Clara's now 23. In 2024 I recorded e208 clara schryer - science as story where Clara talks about her memory of a conversation we had on May 14th 2019 that proved to pivotal in both our lives:At the time, I think I knew that I was interested in earth science, but I thought maybe I should do engineering because maybe that's actually more useful. And I didn't end up doing that. I ended up doing what I wanted to do, which I think was probably an okay choice. But anyways, that was kind of the context. But I remember that conversation as being one of the first times that you really expressed to me that you were interested in participating in this kind of climate and environment work and that you were kind of, you know, I guess to me that part of that conversation was like, well, you have to make changes in whatever world you are in and you were in the art world, so that's what you kind of focused on. I did end up focusing on art and ecology in a number of ways and that conversation was the triggering point. I remember it  very clearly. We were driving on Mann Street here in Ottawa. You'll hear the story in a few minutes. This conversation triggered me to retire from my job at Canada Council in September 2020 and to devote myself full time on the climate emergency. I thought it would be interesting to go back to this very first episode of conscient and listen to how talk about my anxiety and terror about the climate crisis that was unfolding. On the morning of May 13th I came upon an article in the Guardian, We're Doomed: Mayer Hillman on the climate reality no one else will dare mention, where Hillman predicted that ‘the outcome is death, and it's the end of most life on the planet because we're so dependent on the burning of fossil fuels. There are no means of reversing the process which is melting the polar ice caps.' The episode is quite disheartening, eg. facing reality directly, but there are moments of hope, for example, at the end of the episode I read this quote from indigenous writer Richard Wagamese's For Joshua :We may not relight the fires that used to burn in our villages, but we carry the embers from those fires in our hearts and learn to light new fires in a new world. We can recreate the spirit of community we had, of kinship, or relationship to all things, of union with the land, harmony with the universe, balance in living, humility, honesty, truth, and wisdom in all of our dealings with each other.' And this to me is the power of stories, to help rekindle the embers in our hearts, to recreate the spirit of community we once had… stories have the potential to both terrify us into action but also help us slow down inspire to carry on, to process our grief, deepening our relations and imagine new worlds.Note : Il existe également une version en français de cet épisode sur le balado conscient é02 éveil - éclater ma bulle de dénie. *END NOTES FOR ALL EPISODESHey conscient listeners, Thanks for your presence.

We will continue our conversation regarding Jesus taking on the form of a human while being God simultaneously. Christ is our atonement, our sacrifice, who died for our sins and rose again.

That is why I thought it is important to put it in perspective. قُلِ ٱللَّهُمَّ مَـٰلِكَ ٱلْمُلْكِ تُؤْتِى ٱلْمُلْكَ مَن تَشَآءُ وَتَنزِعُ ٱلْمُلْكَ مِمَّن تَشَآءُ وَتُعِزُّ مَن تَشَآءُ وَتُذِلُّ مَن تَشَآءُ بِيَدِكَ ٱلْخَيْرُ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ… Continue reading Facing Reality – Now what?

You know how it goes...You set a goal to lose weight, and, suddenly, everything feels urgent. You want to see the scale drop now, you want your clothes to fit now, and you're ready to go all-in.So, what do you do? You go hard—restricting calories, working out like you're training for the Olympics, feeling like this time, it'll stick.Then, after a week (or maybe two if you're lucky), something cracks.Maybe it's the stress from work, maybe it's that birthday cake you couldn't resist, or maybe it's just plain exhaustion... Whatever it is, you find yourself eating more than before, wondering how things spiraled so fast.You're right back where you started—frustrated, stuck, and asking yourself, "Why does this keep happening?"This cycle—going too hard, too fast, and then burning out—keeps repeating.The problem? It's NOT willpower.It's the approach.The approach you're taking ignores reality—the reality of the world and the reality of your life.Here's where we introduce a new way of thinking: reality neutrality.Reality neutrality means accepting where you are, even if it's not where you want to be.It's about seeing your situation clearly and working with it, not against it.Okay, so here's a quote to sit with—“If you can't change what is, at least try to love what is, or else you're going to suffer.”If you're resisting reality—whether it's your fitness level or your packed schedule—you're setting yourself up for a world of frustration.So what's the answer? It's not giving up on your goals—it's changing how you approach them.Instead of going all-in with unrealistic expectations, reality neutrality asks you to slow down, recognize what's possible right now, and build from there. Think of it as playing the long game instead of sprinting toward a moving finish line.Want to know how to make this shift?*Tried every diet out there and nothing sticks?Imagine having a coach checking in on you EVERY day—keeping you on track and adapting your plan to whatever life throws your way.A personalized, 1:1 coaching program designed just for you can really change the game.➤ https://www.mybodytutor.com/coaching/weight-lossWhy don't we talk and see if we're a good fit for each other?

RESOURCES: Leslie's Free Webinar: www.leslievernick.com/o Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-SAFE Leslie Vernick's book: The Emotionally Destructive Marriage In this episode of Relationship Truth: Unfiltered, Julie Sedenko and Leslie Vernick delve into the concept of "core strength" and its critical importance for women navigating destructive relationships. This episode is designed for any woman who feels she may be in a harmful relationship, offering practical insights on how to build and use core strength in everyday life, whether she chooses to stay or leave. Understanding Core Strength: Leslie shares her personal journey of realizing the importance of core strength, not just physically but emotionally and spiritually. She introduces the concept with a metaphor of physical fitness, explaining how just as a strong core prevents physical collapse, emotional core strength prevents women from collapsing under the weight of a destructive relationship. Core Strength Components: Courageously Committed to Truth: Living in reality, not denial, and embracing the truth even when it's difficult. Open to the Holy Spirit and Wise Others: The importance of being teachable and surrounding oneself with wisdom rather than just strong opinions. Taking Responsibility: Understanding personal responsibility for one's safety, well-being, and character development without shifting blame. Empathy with Boundaries: Balancing compassion with the necessity of setting boundaries that protect against enabling destructive behavior. Practical Applications: Leslie and Julie explore practical scenarios where core strength is applied, including handling disagreements about finances, asserting one's needs, and setting boundaries with a controlling or abusive partner. They discuss the importance of detachment and how women can maintain their emotional and spiritual well-being despite external pressures from a difficult partner. Facing Reality and Fear: The episode addresses the fear of confronting harsh realities, like leaving an abusive situation or facing the consequences of setting boundaries. Leslie emphasizes the need to acknowledge fear but not let it dictate actions. Building a Safety Plan: The importance of having a safety plan is discussed for women who find themselves in physically dangerous situations. Resources and steps to create a safety plan are provided. Wise Counsel and Discernment: How to discern between wise advice and manipulative counsel, especially in a church setting. The importance of aligning advice with the true character of God, as revealed through Jesus, is highlighted.

This episode is packed with practical advice and insights for anyone navigating the pressures of the industry while striving to stay resilient and focused on success.Key Takeaways:Coping with Stress: Understand how the vices you turn to during stressful times can impact your progress, and learn strategies for healthier coping mechanisms.Resilience Under Pressure: Discover the importance of resting instead of quitting when fatigue sets in, and how to keep moving forward with determination.Realistic Industry Insights: Get a no-nonsense view of the current challenges in the industry, and how to navigate them with confidence and clarity.Host Bio:Sam Wakefield is the host of the "Close It Now" podcast and an expert in sales strategies.

We are studying Psalm 73. In it, we will discover a man by the name of Asaph who so doubted his faith, that in his own words, he almost lost his footing and became an unbeliever. Psalm 73 tells us how he found faith after it had almost disappeared.Facing Trouble and Finding God: The Psalms never side step difficult issues of life. With candor and clarity, these poetic songs describe what is going on in our hearts. Psalm 73 and 90 speak of two central questions we wrestle with – injustice and death. We struggle with wrongs that go unpunished. We are not immune to the fact and fear of dying. Listen as Dr. John opens these Psalms with insight from a heavenly perspective. We will face troubles, but God is in them.

This week's episode of Igniting Imagination is a bit of a departure for us – for the first time, our guest is a politician! Yep, State Representative James Talarico. We decided that if we are going to do a season on Facing Reality and Claiming Leadership, we ought to directly address the polarization in our country – and where better than Texas politics!?! James Talarico, a lifelong Christian, active church member, and student at Austin Presbyterian Seminary while serving in the Texas House of Representatives, lives his deep faith in startling ways in his legislative work. If you find yourself disagreeing with his stances, then all the more, he wants to draw you into conversation and even collaboration. He lives a very biblical and profoundly challenging understanding of what it means to love your neighbor. We look forward to hearing your reactions. We pray it will spark new conversations for you, perhaps a new insight into God's call for you or your church. In this conversation, you'll hear:Why James is in seminary and how he navigates faith and politicsWhy polarization is the greatest challenge of our time and how people of faith can respondThe threat of Christian nationalism to the country and churchHow to lead in an environment of constant criticismStories of hope and making a difference at the local levelAbout James TalaricoRepresentative James Talarico is a former public school teacher first elected to serve in the Texas House of Representatives in 2018. Born in Round Rock, Rep. Talarico attended Wells Branch Elementary School and graduated from McNeil High School before earning degrees from The University of Texas at Austin and Harvard University. After college, he taught middle school on the Westside of San Antonio. He currently sits on the Public Education Committee, the Juvenile Justice and Family Issues Committee, and the Calendars Committee.As a former teacher, Rep. Talarico has worked to ensure all Texas students have access to a quality education. In his first term, he helped write the most significant reform to the state's school finance system in 20 years. He went on to pass major legislation to open up millions of dollars for student mental health and character education programs, establish the first-ever cap on Pre-K class sizes to reduce student-to-teacher ratios, and improve the quality and affordability of child care. As a type 1 diabetic, Rep. Talarico also passed historic legislation to cap insulin copays in Texas at $25 a month and import low-cost prescription drugs from Canada — dramatically reducing prescription drug costs for Texas patients. In addition, he passed laws to combat teen fentanyl overdoses, ban reality TV policing, increase accountability within the Texas Juvenile Justice Department, and give all incarcerated minors in Texas the opportunity to earn a high school diploma.For these accomplishments, Talarico was named one of the Top 10 Best Legislators by Texas Monthly magazine.Article by Adam Wren referenced in the episode can be accessed here.

In this week's empowering episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic podcast, Joanna delves into the most important question of your life.  Here are the key takeaways: The Illusion of Desire: Everyone desires happiness, success, and good relationships. However, the critical question is not simply what you want, but also how much pain you're ready to go through to get it. Facing Pain for Growth: Many people ignore the difficult labor required for personal development. Pain is often viewed negatively, but it is the meaning we give to it that gives our lives purpose. Understanding and confronting our pain is critical to breaking the pattern of settling and waiting for change. Avoiding Pain vs. Facing Reality: True happiness is accepting that the quality of our lives is influenced by how well we control our minds in the face of unpleasant occurrences. Most people prefer to keep their worries and beliefs to themselves, but facing them is the key to navigating life effectively. Fantasy vs. Reality: Wanting something isn't enough. You also need to know how much suffering you're ready to go through to get it. If you find yourself wanting something without making any progress, it's essential to consider whether your desires are aligned with deeper underlying commitments. The Transformative Power of Struggle: Accepting the struggle is necessary for living a fulfilling life. Many people seek rewards but are unwilling to climb the mountain. It's in the struggle that transformation occurs, shaping every aspect of our lives. Here are this week's reflection questions:  What pain are you willing to face to achieve your desires and live a fulfilling life? Are your desires aligned with a fantasy, or are you willing to endure the necessary struggles? What is the pain you've been avoiding, and how might facing it lead to personal growth and transformation?   If this episode resonated with you and you'd want to learn more about how the Mastering Your Mind program may help you go to the next level, book a clarity call with me. Even if the program isn't the right fit, we'll have a valuable conversation.

When we are challenged by a problem, we may ignore the reality of taking action.  The things we end up facing things makes changes easier than we thought.  Our minds often create unnecessary visions and problems that do not exist. Linda talks about the reality of facing hip surgery and the prospect of getting a 4 month old puppy.   Now that she did that she sees the blessings.  Decisions can be minor or major and we need to face them. Self-doubting ourselves is something that comes across all the time.   Getting insights from someone else may be the best way to find help.  We often need to pray and think things through.  What is it that you want?  Why am I doubting myself?  Have I seen someone near me fail? The quote Linda shared is “Don't downgrade your dream just to fit your reality. Upgrade your conviction to match your destiny!”   Link to Podcast Post on Lindagullo.com Contact Linda to schedule a one-on-one strategic coaching session by email at linda@lindagullo.com or by phone 815-459-5161

Dr. Margaret Wheatley has greatly influenced our leadership ministry work over the past several decades. We have given her book Who Do We Choose to Be?
