Episode 297 - "The Quiet Season: Finding Calm in the Noise"As the world speeds up for the holidays, your nervous system may be begging for the opposite. In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore the subtle, often-overlooked invitation this time of year gives us to slow down, soften our pace, and reclaim the parts of ourselves buried under busyness. They talk about the psychology of overstimulation, why your brain feels noisier in December, and how simple rituals of stillness can restore clarity, patience, and emotional presence. You'll learn how to create micro-moments of calm even when life feels loud, reconnect with grounding practices that support your nervous system, and rediscover the kind of quiet that doesn't feel lonely—but luminous. This is your permission slip to step out of the noise, breathe deeper, and let this season be not one of pressure… but of peace.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com

Cam Cooksey returns for Episode 31 of Flow after a neighborhood power outage nearly derails the night, using the unexpected disruption as a springboard into a wide-ranging, reflective conversation. Cam opens with updates from the chat and seasonal check-ins before moving into discussions on energy, sound, and frequency, including how music, architecture, and vibration impact the human body and mind. He shares clips and commentary on nuclear innovation, healing frequencies, and the role sound has played historically in cathedrals, worship, and community spaces. The episode weaves together faith, science, culture, and current events, touching on everything from the Army–Navy game and global geopolitics to personal grounding, music as medicine, and staying spiritually centered during a noisy news cycle. A relaxed, thoughtful Saturday night episode focused on perspective, resilience, and maintaining balance as the world continues to shift.

Journalist and author, Brigid Delaney looked into the ancient philosophy during an assignment from her editor. What she discovered led her to years of study and a brand-new outlook on life that focuses less on happiness and more on meaning and contentment.Brigid is devoted to the Stoics, a philosophy that encourages its followers to focus on what they can control, accepting what happens outside of that sphere of control, and mastering inner peace to have a good life.These ideas have helped Brigid prepare for grief and take the edge off her anxiety by putting it in context.One of the most powerful Stoic ideas is that all the wonderful things and people in our life are “on loan” and can be taken away at any moment.Instead of taking them for granted, the Stoics wanted us to run toward them at full speed, and wring as much fun and juice out of them as we can.Further informationBrigid's new book The Seeker And The Sage, and Reasons Not To Worry: How to be Stoic in chaotic times are both published by Allen & Unwin.The Executive Producer of Conversations is Nicola Harrison.This episode contains references to a buddhist with attitude, Nassim Taleb, stoic week, Nero, improving my life, how to improve my life, how to be content, how to find meaning in life, The Guardian, Brigid Delaney's Diary, newspaper column, newspaper columnist, writer, writing life, author, novel, fable, Circles of Hierocles, meditation, Celeste Barber, Wellmania, netflix and internal happiness.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Episode SummaryWhat if peace wasn't just a feeling you occasionally experience but a person you follow daily? In this episode, Coach Alex sits down with author, speaker, and podcast host Michelle Brumgard to explore what she calls The Pace of Peace.Michelle shares how years of praying for calm—in her body, her marriage, and her home—revealed that true peace isn't found in quick fixes, quiet moments, or the absence of chaos, but in Christ Himself, the Prince of Peace.Through vulnerable stories of motherhood, marriage struggles, overwhelm, and the practical demands of daily life, Michelle helps us understand how to pause, pray, and invite Jesus into the middle of our messy days.Together, Alex and Michelle unpack how peace intersects with our health, fitness, and homes—and why striving for control only leads to more overwhelm. Whether you're a busy parent, a believer battling stress, or simply hungry for God's presence in your everyday life, this conversation will remind you to slow down, breathe, and walk at the pace of peace.Main Discussion Themes-Why peace is not just an emotion but a person (Jesus, the Prince of Peace)-Michelle's journey: from overwhelm, anxiety, and striving to living at God's pace-The difference between worldly peace (quick fixes, calm moments) and biblical peace-Overwhelm as the opposite of peace—and practical ways to reset-The P.A.C.E. acronym: Pray And Continue Earnestly-How overwhelm shows up in parenting, marriage, health, and the home-Simple daily practices for pausing, praying, and re-centering on Christ -Michelle's free resource: Five Proverbs to Pray When You Feel Overwhelmed-Her upcoming book The Pace of Peace (January release)Timestamped Outline00:00 – 05:00 | Pre-show: life on the farm, fiber internet, kids growing up05:00 – 12:00 | Introducing Michelle: mom of two, podcast host, relaunching her coaching ministry 12:00 – 20:00 | Why peace became her life's message (journaling, prayer, revelation)20:00 – 28:00 | What peace is not: quick fixes, pills, naps, or achieving goals28:00 – 40:00 | Biblical peace as presence with Christ—even in chaos 40:00 – 55:00 | Overwhelm: the opposite of peace (parenting, schedules, meals, body image)55:00 – 01:05:00 | Practical resets: journaling, prayer, prioritizing with God01:05:00 – 01:15:00 | The P.A.C.E. acronym: Pray And Continue Earnestly01:15:00 – 01:25:00 | Free resource: Five Proverbs to Pray When You Feel Overwhelmed01:25:00 – 01:30:00 | Final encouragement + closing prayerMove Forward Today✅Get Coach Alex's new book today!

This message explores how unity, joy, prayer, and the nearness of Christ create a calm the world cannot explain. If you feel overwhelmed, distracted, or pulled in a hundred directions, this is a reminder that God's peace still guards hearts and minds today.#Philippians #FindingCalm #ChristianSermon #AnxietyAndFaith #PeaceOfChrist #BibleTeaching #FaithAndLife #JesusChrist #GospelPeace #SundayMessage

In today's episode, Gina discusses an important strategy to help individuals suffering with anxiety: identify things that are not within your control and let go of any requirement to control outcomes relating to these things. We live in an uncertain world and our ability to control external events can be extremely limited. It is an enormous gift you can give yourself, to let go of the expectation that you can control such external forces. Listen in and learn how you can give yourself this gift today and in perpetuity, into the future.Please visit our Sponsor Page to find all the links and codes for our awesome sponsors!https://www.theanxietycoachespodcast.com/sponsors/ Thank you for supporting The Anxiety Coaches Podcast.

Realize this, and you will find strength.- Marcus AureliusChapters0:26 Introduction to Finding Calm2:49 Control vs. Acceptance6:26 Reflecting on What You Can Control9:29 The Courage of Acceptance12:02 The Power of Kindness13:52 Embracing Uncertainty15:02 Returning to Inner PeaceSummaryIn today's episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into the vital topic of what we can truly control amidst the turmoil and uncertainty that so many are facing in the world today. As we navigate our lives filled with pressures from work, family, and health, it has become increasingly essential to reconnect with our internal sense of calm. So often, we allow anxiety to take the driver's seat, leading us to believe that if we can control every aspect of our lives, we will find peace. However, I invite you to explore with me the paradigm shift that comes from recognizing what is indeed within our control and what isn't.The discussion begins by acknowledging the overwhelming nature of our current environment, where uncertainty seems to prevail. In these moments, our minds can spiral into an anxious loop filled with "what if" scenarios. I highlight that while our minds are extraordinary problem solvers and have kept us safe throughout history, that very capability can become counterproductive when anxiety takes hold. As we unpack this, we see how anxiety amplifies our reactions to uncertainty, leading us to try managing aspects of life that are far beyond our reach.I introduce the idea of a conceptual circle that represents the dichotomy between what we control and what we don't. Inside this circle, we can focus on elements such as our choices, self-care, and responses to daily challenges. Outside that circle lies the unpredictable — the weather, other people's decisions, and countless scenarios that we cannot influence. I emphasize the crucial shift towards redirecting our attention from the outer circle back to our own sphere of influence, positing that our true power resides there.#AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #GinaRyan, #Anxiety, #FindingCalm, #Uncertainty, #Control, #Acceptance, #Mindfulness, #InnerPeace, #SelfCare, #StressRelief, #Resilience, #MentalWellness, #WhatIsInYourControl, #Stoicism, #MarcusAurelius, #AnxietyManagement, #LettingGo, #NotAControlFreak, #AnxiousMind, #NervousSystem, #EmotionalRegulation, #PeaceInThePresent, #StopFixing, #EmbraceUncertainty, #MentalHealthMatters, #AnxietyAwareness, #PersonalPowerSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

High achievers often look successful on the outside—yet underneath, anxiety, self-doubt, and pressure can take a heavy toll. What if the very drive that fuels achievement could also lead to peace and calm, instead of burnout? In this episode of The Story Engine Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Patricia Zurita-Ona, a clinical psychologist who specializes in helping ambitious leaders and high performers break free from the cycles of fear and worry. Dr. Patricia shares why high achievers are especially prone to anxiety, the hidden ways it shows up, and how her approach empowers people to cultivate calm, resilience, and self-acceptance without losing their edge. If you've ever felt like your success comes at the cost of your peace of mind, this conversation will show you how to achieve both. ⏱ Episode Highlights with Timestamps [02:19] – Why high achievers are particularly vulnerable to anxiety and overthinking [05:04] – Common patterns: how success-driven habits can mask deeper struggles [08:11] – The hidden cost of perfectionism and constant self-pressure [11:23] – Dr. Patricia's approach: moving beyond anxiety toward calm and resilience [14:42] – Practical strategies for shifting thought patterns in stressful moments [18:17] – Kyle and Dr. Patricia discuss how anxiety can become a growth signal, not just a setback [21:09] – Stories of clients who transformed their lives by reframing their relationship with anxiety [25:33] – Closing thoughts: why peace and success don't have to be opposites

Ever feel your body slam on the brakes at the worst moment—or light up just from someone's tone of voice? That's your nervous system running the show. In this episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, polyvagal performance coach Michael Allison (Polyvagal Clinic / The Play Zone) shows us how to find clarity in chaos and silence within the noise—teaching practical tools to shift from stress to calm, from pressure to play right when it counts.Michael breaks down Polyvagal Theory for non-experts—what it is, why it matters for peak performance, and the top myths he wants coaches and clinicians to retire (looking at you, oversimplified “fight-or-flight” narratives). Then we dive into his frameworks: The Play Zone and Autonomic Agility™—how to read your physiological state, respect its impact on performance, and shift under pressure. You'll get a crisp 90-second routine Michael uses with athletes and performers (such as high end tennis professionals and golfers) and learn exactly what a coach should observe and what the athlete should feel when it's working.Why listen? Michael's methodology is endorsed by Dr. Stephen W. Porges, developer of Polyvagal Theory, and he trains coaches globally through the Polyvagal Institute—working across MLB, NBA, ATP/WTA, FIFA, NCAA, and more. If you want nervous-system regulation, vagus-nerve-informed performance, and state shifts on demand, this episode is your playbook.Learn more about Michael AllisonThe Play Zone (programs, coaching, resources): HEREPsychology Today column (“The Pressure Paradox”):Instagram (updates & clips): HEREWe are two sports chiropractors, seeking knowledge from some of the best resources in the world of health.

Inspired by a heartfelt message from a listener, I explore the feelings and anxieties that often accompany this profound human experience. Many people silently grapple with loneliness, and as I address the sentiments shared by our anonymous listener, I aim to shed light on the ways we can cultivate a sense of calm amidst these emotions.Our listener describes a struggle that is all too familiar: the fear of solitude and the yearning for companionship. At 62, he expresses concerns about his diminishing social circle and the daunting reality of facing each day alone. While he has attempted various avenues for connection, the lack of significant relationships brings a heavy anxiety that overshadows his days. Through our discussion, I aim to normalize these feelings, reminding listeners that loneliness is not a mark of failure or a personal flaw but rather a natural response signaling a need for connection.We delve into the emotional and biological implications of loneliness. I liken it to the feelings of hunger or thirst—a signal from our body indicating a deep-seated craving for interpersonal connection. This longing, when unmet, can trigger stress and elevate anxiety levels, propelling us into a cycle of panic and distress. Instead of allowing fear to guide our actions, I propose a different approach: cultivating acceptance and compassion for our feelings rather than a desperate urge to "fix" them.#Loneliness #Anxiety #AnxietyRelief #SelfCompassion #EmotionalHealing #Midlife #DatingOver60 #MentalHealth #FaithOverFear #InnerPeace #Calm #GinaRyan #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #LonelinessEpidemic #AnxietySucks #SelfKindness #EmotionalWellness #MidlifeCrisis #SeniorDating #EmotionalRegulation #NervousSystemCalm #FightOrFlight #AcceptancePractice #SacredPause #StopFixingStartAllowing #FloatingThroughIt #ComparisonScanning #BeWellAndAloha #GinaRyan #MentalHealthMatters #FearOfBeingAlone #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the third installment of Jeff Krasno's Stoicism series, we explore how ancient wisdom can help us stay grounded in an age of outrage. Jeff unpacks three essential Stoic practices for modern life: cognitive reappraisal — the art of finding space between stimulus and response; the humility to be wrong — and how letting go of the need to be right opens the door to truth; and building your psychological immune system — cultivating resilience through small doses of adversity. Drawing on the teachings of Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, and Viktor Frankl, Jeff shares how these timeless ideas can transform how we perceive events, manage emotions, and move through conflict with calm and clarity.

Household Express:Finding Calm in the Kitchen:Hajra Kudoos by Radio Islam

Stillness — Finding Calm in the NortheasterIn a world that feels like a constant Northeaster — winds howling, schedules crashing, emotions rising — how do we find peace?In this episode of The Cara Podcast, Cara invites you to step away from the noise and into the quiet rhythm of stillness. Recorded after a reflective beach walk during the season of the King Tides, this message reminds us that even when the tides rise and life feels pulled in every direction, there's a calm beneath the surface — the steady presence of God.

I'm joined by Liz Clifton, Calm Intuitive Mentor, to talk about: Her powerful 3 Seconds to Calm practice, the inspiring take34u Movement, how she's helped rescue animals & their new pet parents, and what Calm Intuitive Mentorship is all about. Come learn how to find calm, connect, and grow together with your animal companions!

In this candid and heartfelt episode, recorded in person, we invite you back into our lives.We share the ups and downs we've been facing in our lives recently - navigating seasons of transition, adventure, and uncertainty.Lenka shares stories from her three months of van life across the UK — from sun-soaked days in Scotland, encounters with highland cows, and long, winding roads, to the deeper journey of slowing down, healing, and finding gratitude along the way.Meanwhile, Natalie opens up about preparing to leave the UK and move to South Africa. From the chaos of packing boxes and painful goodbyes to the excitement of building a slower, more self-sufficient lifestyle off-grid, she reflects on what it means to trust the process and create space for new beginnings.Together, we talk about embracing the unknown, planting seeds for the future, and finding calm in the middle of life's chaos.It's a conversation about courage, clarity, and choosing to live with intention — no matter where the road leads.

To connect with others, you have to get out of your own head.Whether presenting to millions on live television or talking to just one person, Dan Harris knows that the quality of every interaction depends on the presence you bring to it.Harris is a former national news anchor for ABC News and is now the host of the 10% Happier podcast and author of 10% Happier and Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics. As he knows from experience, there's power in “Waking up to something fundamental, that the mind is out of control, and you don't want to be owned by it.” How do we break the pattern of being controlled by our thoughts? Mindfulness and self-awareness, he says, put “distance” between us and our “thoughts and urges and emotions,” enabling us to connect with ourselves and others with greater consciousness and clarity.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Harris and host Matt Abrahams discuss how mindfulness can transform our communication, sharing strategies for deeper listening, responding versus reacting, and reflecting what others say back to them. “Relationships are the most important aspect of your happiness,” Harris says. The quality of those connections goes up when “you're “less stuck in your own head.”Episode Reference Links:Dan HarrisDan's Books: 10% Happier / Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics Ep.179 Finding Positive in Negative Emotions: Communication, Happiness & Wellbeing Ep.180 Unlocking Your Future Self: Communication, Happiness & Wellbeing Ep.181 Why Happiness is a Direction, Not a Destination: Communication, Happiness & Wellbeing Ep.182 Stop Chasing Time and Start Owning It: Communication, Happiness & Wellbeing  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:51) - On-Air Panic Attack (02:59) - Managing Communication Anxiety (04:01) - Nervousness Before Live Audiences (05:48) - Meditation Misconceptions (09:36) - Responding vs. Reacting (12:07) - Mindfulness & Productivity (15:11) - Lessons from Interviewing (17:19) - The Final Three Question (25:14) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

In this episode, we explore how the practice of meditation can gently guide us through moments of anxiety and overwhelm—especially when life feels chaotic and unpredictable. Using the metaphor of spiral fractals and labyrinths found in nature, we dive deep into what it really means to “spiral inward” when our external world feels out of control.Host Meryl shares personal insights and practical reflections on:- How meditation builds mental health resilience- Why patterns of anxiety often repeat—and how noticing them is the first step to healing- Letting go of the expectation that meditation always leads to calm- Embracing discomfort and distraction as part of the process- A powerful mindset shift: from “this too shall pass” to “this too shall last”- Nature-inspired ways to connect with the present moment and restore inner connectionWhether you're new to meditation or returning to your practice, this episode offers permission to meet yourself exactly where you are. It's an invitation to pause, listen, and breathe—even in the middle of it all.Join us for a guided 10-minute meditation at the end of the episode.Sign up for my newsletter at https://merylarnett.substack.com/ to receive free mini meditations and soundscapes each week, along with creative musings and more.New episodes every Monday (just the meditation) and Thursday (a full meditation class).Learn more or contact me at https://www.merylarnett.com/.
