Podcasts about finding balance

I'm super excited to have @scottymetz on the show for this week's episode. Scott's stellar guitar work has been the hallmark of his 25-year career, and he's now grown permanent roots with his project (and lifelong dream) @lamp_trio along with bandmates @russlawton and @raypaczkowski (both of Trey Anastasio Band).  LaMP's latest album, “One Of Us” is out there now for your listening pleasure; it's a spectacular work of musical art!!  Scott brings his excitement, enthusiasm, curiosity and his special brand of enduring authenticity to the show, and I couldn't be happier to share this special interview with all of you. Scott talks to me about his life of “happy accidents;” a series of life-defining moments that he expresses with genuine gratitude and surprise. From a punk rock kid to exploring gypsy jazz, to diving into the depths of improvisation, to his early roots and connection with WEEN, Scott has seen and experienced tons of twists and turns, and he's here to share it all.================================Chapters00:00 Episode Intro with Host Josh Rosenberg03:45 Introducing Scott Metzger05:56 The New LAMP Album and Festival Experiences 09:57 Travel Challenges and Touring Life 13:16 Managing Expectations in Music and Life 16:10 Creating Accessible Instrumental Music 21:02 Musical Values and Artistic Integrity 24:39 The Heart of LAMP: Drumming and Melodies 25:37 Early Musical Influences and Experiences 31:08 The Spirit of Rock and Roll 31:35 AI and Live Music: A Candid Discussion 33:16 From Punk Rock to Jam Bands: A Musical Journey 35:46 Meeting Phish: A Turning Point 37:12 The Birth of a Band: Joining Phish's Legacy 40:31 Growth Through Improvisation: The JRad Experience 42:27 The Importance of Space in Music 44:34 Finding Your Voice: A Journey of Self-Discovery 46:15 Preparation Meets Opportunity: The Music Career Path 52:47 Artistic Focus: Following the Musical Thread 55:22 The Essence of Authenticity 56:48 Finding Balance in Creativity 59:57 Exploring Musical Dynamics 1:02:20 The Role of Instruments in Expression 1:05:05 Transitioning Through Personal Change 1:08:39 The Journey to Sobriety 1:15:01 Embracing Growth and Change1:21:50 Episode Wrap Up with Host Josh Rosenberg===================================For more information on Roadcase:https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comOr contact Roadcase by email:  info@roadcasepod.comRoadcase theme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer

Rich talks with recovery advocate Katie Lain about The Sinclair Method (TSM), a medication-assisted, science-based approach that helps people reduce or end problem drinking without the all-or-nothing pressure to stay abstinent. Katie shares her decade-long struggle with binge drinking, how naltrexone changed her brain's reward loop, and why TSM can be a discreet, at-home path to control for millions. Listeners will learn how cravings fade, why relapse rates differ from traditional models, and how to combine medication with real-life coping skills. Sponsored by Serenity Salt Spa Guest Bio:  Katie Lain is the founder of Thrive Alcohol Recovery and a leading educator on The Sinclair Method for alcohol use disorder. Sober since 2017 through TSM, she creates evidence-informed content, works with clinicians and researchers (including naltrexone pioneer Dr. Joseph Volpicelli), and helps thousands regain control—without labels, shame, or mandatory abstinence. Main Topics: ·         Katie's story: daily binge drinking in her 20s, failed quits, and finding TSM in 2017. ·         How TSM works: take naltrexone 1 hour before drinking; it blunts alcohol's reward so intake naturally falls over time. ·         Timelines & side effects: early wins in weeks; most see full results around a year; common, mild early side effects often fade. ·         Myths & misconceptions: moderation can be possible after dependence when the brain is “re-trained”; naltrexone is non-addictive; TSM can be done discreetly at home. ·         Comparing models: high relapse after traditional treatment vs. strong outcomes reported with TSM; why adherence (taking the pill before drinking) matters. ·         Trauma, coping skills, nutrition: meeting the medication halfway with therapy, skills, and health supports. ·         Success stories: from daily bottles to effortless moderation; unexpected alcohol indifference.  Resources mentioned: ·         Thrive Alcohol Recovery – program, free resources, and socials: thrivealcoholreSend us a textDonate HereSerenity Salt Spa Serenity Salt Spa is the 1st Himalayan Salt Therapy & Wellness Spa to come to Harford County, MarylaDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

In this episode of The Unbroken Podcast, we dive into the double-edged sword of social media and the constant stream of news right in the palms of our hands. These tools can be powerful for connection and information, but they can just as easily become sources of distraction and discouragement. We talk about how to use these platforms as they were intended—helpfully and productively—while setting boundaries to protect your peace. We also explore the power of saying “No” and “Yes,” and how both can be healthy or harmful depending on the situation. Sometimes opportunity comes from saying yes, and sometimes growth comes from saying no—it's all about discernment and balance. ✨ Special thanks to our sponsors!

In this insightful episode of the Yoga Inspiration Podcast, Kino MacGregor sits down with longtime Ashtanga practitioner and teacher Wade Oakley to explore the intersection of traditional yoga practice and modern strength training. Wade shares how an early shoulder injury led him to Ashtanga Yoga at the University of Virginia, and how his journey quickly took him to India to study with Sharath Jois. He reflects on practicing in Mysore, balancing academic research with daily sadhana, and what it means to approach yoga with both a beginner's heart and a scholar's mind. The conversation dives into Wade's personal evolution, from golf and weightlifting to yoga, from serious injury and reconstructive surgery to rehabilitation and “prehab” strategies that sustain long term practice. Together, Kino and Wade discuss the sometimes controversial topic of cross training, highlighting how mobility, strength, and yoga can complement each other for healthier movement and more sustainable teaching. Listeners will gain practical insights on the difference between flexibility and mobility, the physical demands of assisting in Mysore style classes, and how weight training can protect hypermobile bodies while deepening the yoga journey. Whether you are an Ashtanga student, a yoga teacher navigating injuries, or a practitioner curious about integrating gym training with yoga, this episode offers inspiration and practical wisdom for building a supported practice. Highlights from the episode Wade's first encounter with Ashtanga Yoga and his early teachers Stories from his first trips to Mysore and practicing with Sharath Jois Recovering from major knee surgery through physical therapy and yoga The difference between flexibility and mobility How gym training can support safe assists and prevent injury Strategies for bridging yoga, strength training, and long term practice Practice with Kino and Wade on Omstars.com Practice LIVE with me on Omstars!

Transcript:Da: Under jorden hang en svag lugt af metal og jord, mens lysstofrør i loftet kastede et koldt lys over de betonvægge.En: Underground, there hung a faint smell of metal and earth, while fluorescent lights on the ceiling cast a cold light over the concrete walls.Da: Hylderne i bunkeren var fulde af konserves, dåser, og stærkt lugtende paraffinlys.En: The shelves in the bunker were full of canned goods, tins, and strongly smelling paraffin candles.Da: Her stod Mikkel og Freja klar til at gøre deres evighedsindkøb en regnfuld efterårsdag.En: Here stood Mikkel and Freja ready to make their eternity purchase on a rainy autumn day.Da: Mikkel tjekkede sin liste for fjerde gang.En: Mikkel checked his list for the fourth time.Da: "Vi har brug for flere dåser bønner," sagde han, medens han pegede på det næsten fyldte indkøbskurv.En: "We need more cans of beans," he said, while pointing to the nearly filled shopping basket.Da: Han havde kort, pjusket hår og bar altid en praktisk jakke.En: He had short, tousled hair and always wore a practical jacket.Da: Freja, derimod, stod med en regnbuefarvet paraply.En: Freja, on the other hand, stood with a rainbow-colored umbrella.Da: Hendes øjne glimtede af nysgerrighed, mens hun så sig omkring.En: Her eyes sparkled with curiosity as she looked around.Da: "Skal vi ikke også tage nogle balloner eller glow sticks?En:

varme!"En: We need light and warmth!"Da: Hans tone var alvorlig, mens han pillede ved sin lommelygte.En: His tone was serious as he fiddled with his flashlight.Da: Freja trak på skuldrene, men som altid med et smil.En: Freja shrugged, but as always with a smile.Da: "Men livet handler ikke kun om at overleve, Mikkel.En: "But life isn't just about surviving, Mikkel.Da: Vi skal også leve lidt."En: We have to live a little too."Da: Konflikten mellem deres prioriteter var tydelig.En: The conflict between their priorities was clear.Da: Mikkel pev over de ressourcer, de endnu ikke havde samlet sammen.En: Mikkel fretted over the resources they had yet to gather.Da: Freja ønskede, de ikke glemte glæden i øjeblikkene.En: Freja wanted them not to forget the joy in the moments.Da: Pludselig gik lyset ud.En: Suddenly, the lights went out.Da: Stilheden i mørket var tung, kun afbrudt af lyden af deres åndedræt.En: The silence in the darkness was heavy, only interrupted by the sound of their breathing.Da: "Freja?"En: "Freja?"Da: kaldte Mikkel, stemmen lidt hæs af nervøsitet.En: called Mikkel, his voice a bit hoarse with nervousness.Da: "Jeg er her," svarede hun beroligende.En: "I'm here," she replied reassuringly.Da: Hun famlede i sin taske og trak en håndfuld glow sticks op.En: She fumbled in her bag and pulled out a handful of glow sticks.Da: Med et klik begyndte de at gløde i livlige farver, og rummet blev oplyst af en dansende regnbue.En: With a snap, they began to glow in lively colors, and the room was lit with a dancing rainbow.Da: Mikkel kunne ikke lade være med at grine.En: Mikkel couldn't help but laugh.Da: En lettelse skyllede over ham.En: A relief washed over him.Da: "Okay, måske var de glow sticks ikke en så dårlig idé alligevel," indrømmede han og skænkede hende et skævt smil.En: "Okay, maybe the glow sticks weren't such a bad idea after all," he admitted, giving her a crooked smile.Da: De to arbejdede sammen om at få bunkeren klar.En: The two worked together to get the bunker ready.Da: Mikkel stolede på Frejas øje for det sjove, og Freja stolede på Mikkels praktiske sans.En: Mikkel relied on Freja's eye for fun, and Freja relied on Mikkel's practicality.Da: De fandt en balance.En: They found a balance.Da: Da de endelig stod ved udgangen, tungt lastede med forsyninger og lidt ekstra fornøjelser, havde de lært noget nyt.En: When they finally stood at the exit, heavily loaded with supplies and a few extra pleasures, they had learned something new.Da: "Vi klarede det," sagde Mikkel og kiggede kærligt på Freja.En: "We did it," said Mikkel, looking affectionately at Freja.Da: "Ja, og i morgen kan vi øve os i at kaste lys sticks i mørket," lo hun tilbage og holdt hans hånd fast.En: "Yes, and tomorrow we can practice tossing glow sticks in the dark," she laughed back and held his hand tightly.Da: Mens de klatrede op ad trappen, forenet i et øjeblik af fælles forståelse, vidste de, at det var denne balance, der ville holde dem sikre – og glade.En: As they climbed the stairs, united in a moment of mutual understanding, they knew it was this balance that would keep them safe – and happy.

This week on the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast, I'm talking about the all-too-common problem of being too frugal and underspending in retirement, how this frugality can rob you of a fulfilling retirement, and steps you can take to find a better balance with spending and preserving financial security in retirement.  Today, I'm talking about finding the right balance between overspending and over-frugality in retirement.

Life today is overflowing with constant noise and endless responsibilities — from work demands to family schedules, to the never-ending stream of emails and notifications. It’s easy to feel stretched too thin, constantly pulled in competing directions. In today's devotional and prayer, Heidi Vegh reminds us that the key to balance isn’t found in managing every detail perfectly, but in surrendering our days to God. Matthew 6:33 calls us to seek first His Kingdom — to make God our priority before anything else. When we start our mornings with Him, we allow His Spirit to order our steps, giving us peace in the middle of chaos. Balance doesn’t mean doing everything; it means doing the right things, with God’s guidance. Sometimes His answer may be to rest instead of striving, to connect with a friend instead of checking one more task off the list. When we make room for holy interruptions, we find the kind of balance our souls truly crave. Today's Bible Reading: “But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His Kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right attitude and character of God), and all these things will be given to you also.” – Matthew 6:33 (AMP) Key Takeaways Balance begins with priorities — seeking God first each day. Surrendering control allows God to redirect our days according to His will. The Holy Spirit provides gentle nudges and guidance when we feel overwhelmed. True balance comes not from doing it all, but from living aligned with God’s purposes. Let’s Pray Lord, life is busy and overwhelming, and I need balance. I surrender my plans, to-do lists, and ideals into Your hands. Guide me with Your Spirit, reminding me to start each day with You. Show me what to lay down, what to pick up, and how to create space for rest. Thank You for caring about every detail of my life and for promising to order my steps when I seek You first. In Jesus’ name, Amen. Calls to Action Start your morning tomorrow with a Scripture reading and prayer before touching your phone. Ask God throughout the day: “What’s the next right thing?” and trust His nudge. Subscribe to Your Daily Prayer and share this episode with a friend who needs encouragement to slow down and seek God first.

More women are now leaving the PR industry because of perimenopause and menopause than because of childbirth. That's a staggering, often invisible, that's shift happening right at the top. It's not burnout or work-life balance pushing them out, but a phase of life that's rarely acknowledged and even more rarely supported.This episode is an unflinching conversation about the real pressures senior women face. Why is menopause still a taboo topic at work? How misunderstood are its impacts on confidence, performance, and retention? And what must organizations and agencies do to support their best talent before they quietly walk away? Listen For4:22 The Invisible Workplace Crisis7:01 The “Rush Hour” of Women's Lives10:01 Emotions, Gender, and Professionalism13:37 Finding Balance in Psychological Safety18:53 Answer to Last Episode's Question from Fred CookGuest: Heather Blundell, CEO GraylingWebsite | X | LinkedIn | EmailStories and Strategies WebsiteCurzon Public Relations WebsiteApply to be a guest on the podcastConnect with usLinkedIn | X | Instagram | You Tube | Facebook | Threads | Bluesky | PinterestRequest a transcript of this episodeSupport the show

In this episode, Anthony Hartcher discusses the concept of the 'pulse of life' in relation to health and wellness. He emphasises the importance of recognising the duality of health trends, understanding individual needs, and finding balance in health practices.

Send us a Note or Ask a question Here! Include your name and where you're from and we may just read it on an Upcoming Podcast!After months of silence, we're finally back behind the microphones with some major life updates that have completely transformed our approach to RV living. The biggest news? We've sold our massive Alliance Valor, purchased a home base, and downsized to a more nimble Alliance Delta 252RL travel trailer under 30 feet.This shift wasn't a snap decision. It evolved gradually as we weathered both literal and figurative storms in our full-time RV journey. Texas ice and scorching summer heat tested our resolve, while work commitments kept us closer to "home" than we'd initially planned. The limitations of traveling in such a large rig became increasingly apparent - we couldn't fit in most state parks and national parks, couldn't easily navigate certain areas, and Lauren wasn't comfortable driving our beast of an RV. Those 12-hour travel days left us exhausted in ways they don't now with our smaller setup.Let's bust a common myth: RV life isn't automatically cheaper than traditional housing. For us, costs were roughly equivalent, though this varies widely depending on individual circumstances and choices. We also couldn't ignore the financial reality that while our RV was constantly depreciating, real estate typically appreciates over time. This stability factor, combined with increased travel flexibility, ultimately guided our decision.Don't worry - we're not abandoning RV adventures! With seven trips already planned (including three weeks in Florida and appearances at the Tampa RV show), we're simply embracing a "weekend warrior" approach that offers the best of both worlds. Our new dedicated podcast studio means more consistent content, guest appearances, and exciting new segments coming your way. If you have questions you'd like us to answer in future episodes, send them our way through your favorite podcast platform. Subscribe now so you don't miss a single adventure as we navigate this next chapter of RV Shenanigans!

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron discusses the challenges parents face regarding technology use among children. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the impact of technology on kids' mental health, the role of AI, and the necessity of setting boundaries.  Ali shares her personal experiences and insights on how to navigate these issues while advocating for informed decision-making and community support. Takeaways Technology with our kids is a struggle for many parents. Kids' brains are still developing, making them more vulnerable. We need to allow kids to experience boredom. Monitoring technology use is crucial for safety. Setting boundaries can help manage technology use effectively. Technology can be both beneficial and harmful. It's important to educate kids about online content. Finding support from like-minded families can be helpful. Encouraging open conversations about technology is key.

In this solo episode, I explore the delicate balance between external writing resources (craft books, courses, workshops) and your internal creative intuition. I'm talking to writers who feel overwhelmed by all the advice out there while trying to maintain their authentic voice.What I'm sharing:Resources and intuition aren't opposites—they're dance partners that should work together. I want you to think of craft books and courses as offerings from other writers' journeys, not commandments you must follow. Creative intuition isn't "winging it"—it's sophisticated intelligence drawing on everything you've experienced.Four gentle practices I've discovered:Learning and Letting Go: Sit with advice before applying it; let your project tell you what it needsInternal Compass Check: Feel whether advice makes your work more alive or less aliveSelective Bibliography: Choose 1-2 craft resources that consistently nourish your creative spiritConversation Practice: Engage with craft advice as dialogue, not gospelWhat I want novel writers to remember:Trust your creative ecosystem—you're already a complete creative being. Create resource boundaries, honor your creative seasons, and remember that your novel is a living thing that grows through collaboration between conscious learning and unconscious knowing.You don't have to choose between being studious and intuitive—you can be a "whole writer" who honors both craft knowledge and creative authenticity.

In this episode of Poducer, we sit down with Charlie Heldman — Chicago-based artist, producer, and founder of Windy City Wavs, a grassroots music production collective dedicated to building community, fostering creativity, and supporting independent artists. Charlie opens up about his journey from his early teenage band days to developing his own R&B-inspired sound — blending sweet lyrics with soulful, sexy beats. We explore his approach to growth as an artist, the role of collaboration in shaping his music, and how consistency and community feedback have fueled his development. Beyond music, Charlie shares his perspective as a studying therapist, reflecting on mental health, empathy, and the importance of creating safe spaces for expression. He talks candidly about navigating self-doubt, learning to shift negative self-talk, and balancing passion with purpose.

Fluent Fiction - Hebrew: Finding Balance: Avner's Rosh Hashanah Journey Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/he/episode/2025-09-01-22-34-02-he Story Transcript:He: בימי הסתיו, כשהעלים מחליפים את צבעם לגווני זהב וכתום, מתחילה פעילות מרגשת במעונות הקולג'.En: In the autumn days, when the leaves change their colors to shades of gold and orange, an exciting activity begins in the college dormitories.He: אווירת חג ראש השנה מתפרשת לכל עבר, מלאת תקווה להתחלה חדשה.En: The atmosphere of Rosh Hashanah spreads everywhere, full of hope for a new beginning.He: בין הסטודנטים, היה אפשר למצוא את אבנר, ליאורה ונדב.En: Among the students, you could find Avner, Liora, and Nadav.He: הם חולקים חדר במעונות, אבל לכל אחד יש את הגישה שלו לגבי החג המתקרב.En: They share a dorm room, yet each has their own approach to the upcoming holiday.He: אבנר תמיד היה תלמיד חרוץ.En: Avner was always a diligent student.He: הוא התמודד עם הלחץ של הלימודים, ונראה לפעמים שהוא שוכח את שורשיו התרבותיים.En: He dealt with the pressure of studies and sometimes seemed to forget his cultural roots.He: ליאורה, לעומתו, הייתה תמיד חמה ומזמינה, אוהבת מאוד את המסורות, תמיד מחפשת הזדמנות לחלוק את תרבותה עם אחרים.En: Liora, on the other hand, was always warm and welcoming, greatly loving the traditions and always seeking an opportunity to share her culture with others.He: נדב, החדר חבר, היה נינוח, פחות מתעניין בחגים ומתמקד בעיקר בהנאות של הרגע.En: Nadav, the roommate, was relaxed, less interested in the holidays, and focused mainly on the pleasures of the moment.He: החדר שלהם, כמו יתר המעונות, היה מלא בתלמידים הממהרים לסיים את המשימות לפני החג.En: Their room, like the other dorms, was full of students hurrying to finish their assignments before the holiday.He: ליד הדלת, ליאורה עסוקה בתליית קישוטים.En: Near the door, Liora was busy hanging decorations.He: "אבנר, אתה בא לחגוג איתנו בערב הקהילתי?En: "Avner, are you coming to celebrate with us at the community evening?"He: " היא שאלה בחיוך רחב.En: she asked with a broad smile.He: אבנר התלבט, יודע שכמות הלימודים עולה לפניו.En: Avner hesitated, knowing a load of studies lay before him.He: "אני לא יודע, יש לי המון עבודות להגיש," הוא השיב, מתחבט בליבו.En: "I don't know, I have a lot of assignments to submit," he replied, debating within his heart.He: נדב, יושב על המיטה, מפהק ואומר, "למה לך לדאוג כל כך לחג הזה?En: Nadav, sitting on the bed, yawned and said, "Why worry so much about this holiday?He: אנחנו בכל מקרה יושבים ונהנים.En: We're sitting and enjoying anyway."He: " אבנר הרגיש בילבול, בין הרצון להיות מחובר לשורשיו לבין הלחץ האקדמי.En: Avner felt confusion, torn between the desire to connect with his roots and the academic pressure.He: ליאורה פנתה אליו בחמלה, "אבנר, אני יודעת שהלימודים חשובים לך, אבל ראש השנה הוא זמן להתחדשות והתחלה חדשה.En: Liora turned to him with compassion, "Avner, I know studies are important to you, but Rosh Hashanah is a time for renewal and a new beginning.He: הוא יכול לתת לך כוח.En: It can give you strength."He: " לדברים שלה הייתה משמעות עמוקה עבור אבנר.En: Her words held deep meaning for Avner.He: אחרי מחשבות רבות, הוא החליט לפנות זמן ולהיות נוכח באירוע.En: After much thought, he decided to make time and be present at the event.He: בערב החג, האולם המשותף במעונות היה מלא באנשים, נרות דולקים על השולחן, ריח תפוחים ודבש ממלא את האוויר.En: On the eve of the holiday, the common hall in the dorms was filled with people, candles lit on the table, the scent of apples and honey filling the air.He: אבנר הצטרף אל ליאורה וברגע שהתחיל הטקס, הוא חש משהו אחר בלב.En: Avner joined Liora, and the moment the ceremony began, he felt something different in his heart.He: השיחה איתה עזרה לו לראות את החג בצורה חדשה, לא רק כמסורת שחוזרת על עצמה, אלא כמקור להזנה רגשית ורוחנית.En: The conversation with her helped him see the holiday in a new light, not just as a repeated tradition, but as a source of emotional and spiritual nourishment.He: במהלך הארוחה, הוא השתתף בשיחה, התחבר אל אחרים וחש את חום החג מבפנים.En: During the meal, he participated in the conversation, connected with others, and felt the warmth of the holiday from within.He: הסעודה הסתיימה הרגשה שונה בליבו.En: The feast concluded with a different feeling in his heart.He: אבנר ידע שהשנה מצא דרך לשלב בין הלימודים לחייו התרבותיים, תחושה חדשה של איזון ולכידות.En: Avner knew that this year he had found a way to integrate his studies with his cultural life, a new sense of balance and cohesion.He: כך, עם סיום החג, אבנר חזר למעונות עם לב מלא יותר.En: Thus, with the end of the holiday, Avner returned to the dorms with a fuller heart.He: הוא הבין שסופו של המסע התמידי הזה להרגיש שייך אינו סתם עוד משימה בין המשימות, אלא מסע של גילוי עצמי ותרבותי.En:
