We watched a movie at an indie movie theatre

I recently spent summer vacation in Portugal with my entire American family. After 3 weeks of travel, I returned home weighing exactly the same as when I left. In this episode, I share the strategies and mindset that helped me maintain my weight during the trip. Key Takeaways: 1. Plan Ahead: Think about how you'll manage your food and meals before your trip. 2. Stick to the Basics: Maintain the core elements of your regular routine, such as eating protein and vegetables and getting enough sleep. 3. Stay Active: Keep moving and stay engaged in physical activities. 4. Savor Local Foods: Enjoy the local cuisine, but in moderation. Be selective about what you truly want to eat. Nothing is off-limits, but be mindful of your choices. 5. Be Life-Focused: Prioritize connecting with family, learning about the culture, exploring the region, appreciate the laughter. 6. Keep the End in Mind: Focus on how you want to feel at the end of your vacation and make decisions that align with that desired feeling. In short, take responsibility for your health and weight, rather than letting the vacation happen "to you." Anticipate moments of tension where you'll need to compromise and focus on what you can control. It is 100% possible not to gain weight on vacation.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the work of the great French Impressionist Claude Monet (1840-1926) in London, initially in 1870 and then from 1899. He spent his first visit in poverty, escaping from war in France, while by the second he had become so commercially successful that he stayed at the Savoy Hotel. There, from his balcony, he began a series of almost a hundred paintings that captured the essence of this dynamic city at that time, with fog and smoke almost obscuring the bridges, boats and Houses of Parliament. The pollution was terrible for health but the diffraction through the sooty droplets offered an ever-changing light that captivated Monet, and he was to paint the Thames more than he did his water lilies or haystacks or Rouen Cathedral. On his return to France, Monet appeared to have a new confidence to explore an art that was more abstract than impressionist.WithKaren Serres Senior Curator of Paintings at the Courtauld Gallery, London Curator of the exhibition 'Monet and London.

Bonjour, everyone, and welcome to another episode of The French Weigh with your host, Karen Gombault. In today's episode, we're talking about something that can truly transform your life—asking powerful questions. This might sound simple, but the questions you ask yourself make a world of difference in how you navigate life's challenges. My husband and I recently went golfing for the first time in a while, and let's just say, my irons weren't cooperating. I spent the whole game bombarding myself with negative thoughts like, "Why can't I get better?" and "Why don't I just give up?" But then it hit me—these negative questions were holding me back, big time. So, I decided to flip the script and ask myself empowering questions instead. That one small shift had a huge impact. By asking "How can I make this fun?" and "What one small change can I do differently?", I came up with a list of 20 fun and innovative ideas to improve my game. This technique is a game-changer for any struggle you're facing. Whether you're trying to lose weight or master a new skill, the quality of your questions will determine the quality of your results. "When you ask your brain negative questions, it's going to find all the evidence to support the negative question." I'll also explain how this ties into my coaching philosophy of Positive Intelligence. We'll touch on recognizing your saboteurs and tapping into your sage powers like empathy, curiosity, and innovation to flip those negative thoughts on their head. Grab your coffee, sit back, and let's explore how the right questions can set you on a path to a happier, healthier life.Key Takeaways From This Episode The transformative power of asking yourself quality questions and how it impacts life. Negative self-talk and comparisons can hinder progress in any endeavor. Recognizing negative thoughts and how they affect performance and well-being.

Welcome back to another episode of The French Weigh with your host, Karen Gombault. I'm excited to share my latest adventures with you, and today's topic is one that's close to my heart—choosing your thoughts and showing up as your best self. In this episode, I get real and personal about my recent move and all the chaos that came with it. Imagine movers showing up a day early, a bank account mysteriously dipping into negative six figures, and our washing machine giving up the ghost—all within a span of a few weeks. Yep, things got intense! But this isn't just about my moving saga; it's about how I managed to keep my cool and navigate these challenges with positive thinking and deliberate action. I explore the concept of managing your mind and thoughts, a skill that I've cultivated over the years through coaching. You'll hear how I tackled each of these 'situations' (because they're not problems if you choose to think differently) and the mantra I kept repeating: "It is not a problem. We are going to find a solution." One of the key takeaways is the importance of deliberately choosing your thoughts. As I say in the episode, "Choosing how you want to think about something will change your life." I look at practical ways to shift from a victim mentality to proactive problem-solving using the five sage powers: curiosity, empathy, innovation, big picture thinking, and laser-focused action. Whether you're dealing with your own move or just everyday obstacles, this episode is packed with tips on how to show up as your most empowered self. So tune in, take a deep breath, and remember that you have the power to choose your thoughts and transform your life. Au revoir and talk to you soon!

So, grab your notebook, pour yourself a coffee, and let's uncover the impact journaling can have on your life. “Journaling helps us recognize when our saboteurs are present and how we can switch to a sage mindset.” Key Takeaways From This EpisodeImportance of journaling and the impact it has had on Karen's life, as well as the lives of her clients Explanation of negative and positive thought patterns Connection between journaling and recognizing negative thoughts Karen's journaling practice and daily routine Curiosity and empathy when it comes to investigating one's thoughts Generating positive or neutral thoughts to replace negative ones Examples of powerful questions for weight loss and other goalsContact Information and Recommended Resources The French Weigh One on One CoachingYes! you CAN feel more confident, energetic and healthy as you age, even if right now it doesn't feel that way.

In this episode, we will be discussing the history of slavery and colonialism during the early modern period as evidenced through French art. This episode aims to examine slavery and colonialism in the context of the Atlantic World. Joining me, is Professor Meredith Martin. Dr. Martin is a Professor of Art History at New York University and the Institute of Fine Arts. A specialist in early modern French art and empire, she is the co-author (with Gillian Weiss) of the award-winning book The Sun King at Sea: Maritime Art and Galley Slavery in Louis XIV's France (Getty, 2022).

In this episode, I discuss the concept of "life focus," drawing inspiration from French culture. It's crucial to shift focus away from obsessive thoughts about weight and food, as constant preoccupation with weight and diet can hinder weight loss or health goals. I explore three ways to become more life-focused: Learning: French people prioritize continuous learning, whether through reading diverse materials, watching documentaries, or visiting museums and exhibits. Experiencing: This involves embracing travel, taking guided tours, attending cooking classes, and enjoying tastings or live shows. Connecting: Additionally, fostering connections with others through meaningful conversations and shared experiences contributes to a fulfilling life. To shift towards a life-focused mindset, the episode outlines practical steps such as identifying topics for further learning, planning new experiences, and reconnecting with friends and family. Embracing the French approach to life focus not only enhances overall well-being but also helps with sustainable weight loss as a natural byproduct of a more balanced and fulfilling lifestyle.Want more insight into the French Way of Life regarding health & wellness?

Let the spicy topics continue! Many of us are introduced to the concept of "The French Academy" when we begin studying art and art history, but what actually is it? Was it just a building that people could go and study at, or did it transcend a physical space and become a highly influential cultural representative? Follow your favorite BYWAP hosts as we take a sojourn to France and take a critical look into the history and controversies of such a lasting monolith. Join us as we butcher the French language, get surprisingly heated over the Hierarchy of Painting, make apt 21st century connections to their 17th century historical counterparts, and remind folks that the last thing you need to worry about is what some dumb art school tells you is art versus not art.

In this episode we explore the life of Gertrude Stein (1874 - 1946) who was a queer writer and art collector as well as the leader of one of the most influential Parisian art salons of the early 1900. In her home she entertained the likes of Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemmingway and Ezra Pound, becoming a key voice in the radical art world of that time. As a writer she was experimental and often wrote illuminating and personal stories about her life, love between women and insight into the lives of the artists she knew. We will cover not only Gertrude's work and impact but also her relationship with her life partner Alice B Toklas. Images Instagram @themuseumofemininty SourcesIn Momartre  by Sue Roehttps://www.biography.com/writer/gertrude-steinhttps://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/stein-gertrudeWikipedia

There's nothing more wild yet utterly predictable than a child's tantrum. But in Maurice Ravel's opera L’enfant et les sortilèges, the consequences take the child completely by surprise. Vanderbilt Opera Theater's production of the piece is Nashville's latest example of how performing arts have pivoted to create new and interesting projects during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this episode of Classically Speaking hear from director Gayle Shay and music director Jennifer McGuire about how Vanderbilt students learned a whole new set of skills to put on this production.

In this mini episode I will be analysing the painting Olympia by Édouard Manet, which was painted in 1863 and caused a huge scandal for it's salacious subject and unrefined technique. Although composed like a classical image of the Goddess Venus, this painting was thought to depict a prostitute, and was therefore considered highly problematic, due to it's contemporary display of direct brash female immorality. This also unveils the double standards in the art world as nude women has always been a hallmark in the academy and something wealthy men evidently enjoyed viewing. In this episode I will discuss the history of this work of art, why it was considered scandalous, the symbolism within the painting, Manet's artistic methods and the identities of the models, which can shed light on how women of colour were viewed.

The Governor extends his mask mandate and provides guidance for high school activities.Then, one Mississippi community college has hundreds of students quarantined after an outbreak. We check in with the college's President.Plus, some 19th century painters are making an "impression" at the Mississippi Museum of Art.Segment 1:Governor Tate Reeves is extending his executive orders, which include a statewide mask mandate and social distancing, until the end of August. Reeves made the announcement last week during a press briefing. He says he is encouraged by the decline in daily cases over the last week, and encourages residents to remain diligent. Reeves also sees the downward trend as a promising sign for high school and college athletics. He says many students need sports or activities as a motivator to maintain grades and succeed. Segment 2:Hundreds of students at a community college in North Mississippi are quarantined after a coronavirus outbreak during the first week of school. Nearly 300 students who began in-person classes at Northeast Mississippi Community College in Booneville last week are now quarantined after at least nine cases of COVID-19 were confirmed on campus. Also in quarantine are more than 25 employees. College President Dr. Ricky Ford, tells our Ashley Norwood the high number in quarantine are result of the response measures the college has put in place to limit transmission.Segment 3:After briefly closing during the early months of the pandemic, the Mississippi Museum of Art is back - welcoming patrons to a variety of galleries.

Fabrice Midal is hugely popular in the Francophone world with a best selling book that has been translated as ‘The French Art of Not giving a fuck’—but relatively unknown elsewhere. He is also the author of about twenty other books, which include a biography of Chogyam Trungpa, and various books about philosophy, art, poetry, chivalry and meditation. He is also the founder of a unique school of meditation called ‘L’École occidentale de méditation’—which teaches not just traditional buddhist meditation and texts, but also has a strong emphasis on western philosophy, poetry, and the arts in general. I’ve known Fabrice for many years and he has taught me many things, and I have always wished that something like his school were available in other countries. L’École occidentale de méditation is a good example of what is called in German ‘bildung’ where philosophy and mediation are linked in creating movements that have the potential to change society as a whole. Some of my listeners in the contemporary bildung movement could learn a great deal from Fabrice’s efforts and genius in my opinion. In this wide ranging discussion we talked mostly about meditation and how meditation can be the ground for genuine renaissance in all areas of society, rather than merely a ‘technique’ for inner calm—which, in Fabrice’s view is a gross distortion of its origin, meaning and purpose.

Do you live a mindful life? And have you ever learned to meditate? Today, we're in Paris and we're honored to be interviewing Fabrice Midal, the guru of meditation and mindfulness in France. Fabrice discovered meditation by accident at the age of twenty-one when a friend spoke to him about it while he was studying at the Sorbonne, thirty years ago.  At first, he was a little afraid to try it out because nobody spoke much about meditation back then. When he did, however, he recognized something very deep there, and he knew that it was right for him, so he engaged with the practice and began to study meditation in earnest.  In today's episode, Fabrice explains what mindfulness is, and he shares some of the struggles and challenges he faced when trying to find the most effective way to present meditation authentically. Be sure to listen in today, to hear the fascinating story of Fabrice's journey. Fabrice has a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Paris and he is the founder of the Western School of Meditation. He had written more than thirty books, of which several have become bestsellers, including his latest book, The French Art of Not Giving a Shit. Tune in now, to find out more!   Show Highlights: Fabrice felt that it was his duty to teach meditation in a way that would be direct, down to earth, and would help people relate to their own lives. Fabrice has written more than thirty books, and he has tried to rethink Buddhism, to find its real meaning. Fabrice felt that we needed to find, within our own culture, where meditation would be honestly grounded. And that was how he developed his meditation technique. Many challenges went with opening of the Western School of Meditation. Fabrice wanted to make the teaching of meditation more profound and grounded, rather than making it simpler and lighter. Using mindfulness as a means of becoming able to say "no" to the things that are not right in the world. Why Fabrice feels that the way mindfulness is taught today is creating more confusion and suffering for people. Fabrice explains what mindfulness is. Developing the right attitude towards mindfulness with his book, The French Art of Not Giving a Shit. Any change begins with kindness towards yourself. Meditation, for Fabrice, is political, and it is rooted in the deepness of humanity. To meditate is to dare to be human. Developing gratitude rather than greed through meditation. Embracing suffering through meditation, and overcoming fear. And creating a better world for future generations through mindfulness. What equanimity means for Fabrice. There's a new kind of violence that has emerged in our society, that's causing people a lot of suffering. Talking about the idea of "coming home". Creating real intimacy through meditation.

Episode Six of The Museum of Femininity kick starts a new regular series, investigating the lives of female artists who started their careers as artists models or were predominantly remembered for their relationships with famous male artists.For the first episode in this series Charlotte Appleyard will delve into the life of Suzanne Valadon, a self taught artist who painted a variety of subjects and is one of the first female artists to joyously depict the male form from a female perspective.

On this episode, we’re discussing the art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel. Born in Paris in 1831, Durand-Ruel took over his father’s business as an art dealer a few years before the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War, during which time he escaped to London. It was around this time that he became familiar with a new group of artists called the Impressionists. He became an advocate of their artistic work, seeing their potential for commercial success long before many others in the art world. He is credited with helping to establish some of the best-known artists of this period, including Degas, Manet, Monet, Pissarro and Renoir. Stating the case for Paul Durand-Ruel as a revolutionary is Professor Frances Fowle, Personal Chair of Nineteenth-Century Art at Edinburgh College of Art and Senior Curator of French Art at National Galleries Scotland. Her specialist area is European and American nineteenth-century art, with an emphasis on collecting, the art market, national identity, cultural revival and artistic networks. She is Senior Trustee of the Burrell Collection in Glasgow and sits on the Burrell Renaissance Board. She is also a founding Board member of the International Art Market Studies Association and is on the steering committee for the European Revivals Research Network, initiated by the Ateneum Art Museum in Helsinki. Revolutionaries is produced and recorded at Edinburgh College of Art, and is hosted by Ardie Collins from the Engagement and Communications team. Music is Noahs Stark by krackatoa.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that this may be the first and last NBFS interview in which George Clooney’s name comes up more than once. My guest, Elizabeth Karlsgodt, and I ended up talking about Mr. Clooney’s latest film, The Monuments Men, at the end of our discussion of her book, Defending National Treasures: French Art and Heritage under Vichy (Stanford University Press, 2011). Focused on art, museums, and monuments, Karlsgodt’s book examines the war as an important moment for cultural reform in France, including the implementation of new “preservationist” policies with the intention of defining and protecting France’s patrimoine national, or national treasures and cultural heritage (as Vichy saw these). The study looks at the evacuation of French public collections, the administrative reorganization of the nation’s artistic and historical sites, and the painful history of Jewish-owned art collections and works belonging to those who had fled France and others who were victims of the Holocaust. In the second half of the book, Karlsgodt focuses on the complex field of conflict and negotiation (including accommodation) between the French and German governments. Defending National Treasures is a book with implications for how we think about continuity and change from the interwar through the Vichy years and into the postwar period. It uses the realm of art to further complicate our understanding of collaboration and resistance and to illuminate the role of the state and its bureaucracies in shaping culture. Beyond these already worthy accomplishments, Karlsgodt’s work has made her an expert reviewer of the Clooney film noted above. She has appeared in Slate and US News & World Report, as well as the National Geographic documentary Hunting Hitler’s Stolen Treasures: The Monuments Men (which aired in January 2014). The book is thus a wonderful example of how the best scholarship can also be engaged with readers (and viewers) beyond a traditional audience of scholars and students.
