Guest Emmy Tsang Panelist Richard Littauer Show Notes In this episode of Sustain, host Richard Littauer welcomes Emmy Tsang, the Engagement Lead at Invest in Open Infrastructure (IOI). Emmy introduces the mission of IOI, which focuses on increasing investment in and adoption of open infrastructure to promote equitable access and participation in research. The discussion delves into what constitutes 'open infrastructure,' the need for nuanced definitions, and IOI's efforts in providing evidence-based tools, strategic support, and funding pilots within the space. Emmy also highlights IOI's inaugural 'State of Open Infrastructure 2024' report, set to serve as an annual resource for understanding the open infrastructure landscape. They discuss the report's contents, including analysis of funding, governance trends, and policies affecting open infrastructure, and Emmy invites feedback from the community to improve future iterations of the report. Press download to hear more! [00:01:04] Emmy explains IOI and how it provides tools and recommendations, strategic support, and runs funding pilots. [00:02:14] There's a discussion on the growth of the IOI team and the importance of a global perspective, as well as an explanation of IOI's funding and fiscal sponsorship by Code for Science and Society. [00:03:47] Emmy explains open infrastructure as a spectrum and the importance of context and mentions the five criteria for defining open infrastructure. [00:07:37] Richard asks Emmy for clarification on the definition of infrastructure on the context of open infrastructure. She tells us a broader definition as services and technologies relied upon by researchers and scholars and gives an example. [00:10:34] Richard questions how IOI integrates community feedback into their work. Emmy explains IOI's privileged position to consider open infrastructure at an ecosystem level, mentions the Infra Finder tool for open infrastructure discovery, and her role as an engagement person. She also mentions shifting power in funding decisions and increasing accessibility of funding to low and middle-income economies.

Emmy discusses the topics covered in the report, explains how they used their Infra Finder tool, and the data from the report will be shared openly via Zenodo. [00:19:38] Richard appreciates the scope and ambition of the report and wonders about the primary audience of the report and its relevance to open source maintainers. We learn the report is targeted at funders, but also relevant to maintainers and developers of open infrastructures.

She explains the unique perspective IOI brings to the concept of infrastructure and emphasizes the importance of defining success and sustainability for open infrastructure.

Welcome to Season 2. I hope you had a great summer and took some time to exhale. I'm so excited to continue on this journey of growth and self-awareness with you. Today, we are talking about graceful transitions and the challenges that arise with change and different life seasons.  We talk about acknowledging your emotions and writing down best and worst-case scenarios. We cover focusing on best-case actions while still allowing your emotions to come like a wave and allowing yourself to grieve during times of change. Make a decision to move through it and don't weigh yourself down with guilt.   Episode Highlights:  [01:44] I've had some significant changes happen over the summer. I even sent my oldest child off to college. [02:13] There's no right way to go through a major transition. The goal is to thrive and grow through the experience. [02:56] When we start to experience change we are either filled with questions or fear. This is normal. Instead of panicking, lean into it and accept it. [03:55] Our brains seem to gravitate towards the worst-case scenario. Even though it seems counterintuitive, allow your brain the space to go there. [04:40] What would you do if the worst-case scenario happened? What would you do if the best-case scenario happened? [06:09] Life isn't perfect. Humans experience it. If we're wise, we learn and grow from it. The way that you think about life change will drive the way that you feel about it. [06:38] The actions I take when thinking about the worst-case scenario are not going to give me the results that I want. [07:12] If you try to choose the best of what could happen, you'll be able to make the best case when the bumps in the road come along. [07:27] Think about the best and worst case and then make a conscious choice to focus on the best.  [07:52] Graceful means that you continue and you don't stop. We often want to skip to the good part where we feel better. All of our emotions are necessary. [08:59] Allow yourself to experience your emotions like a wave. [09:40] When change happens, there needs to be an allowance for a period of grieving. [11:08] We don't have to add guilt into the mix by thinking we are wrong for feeling our emotions. [12:16] I share a client story where she wracked herself with tremendous guilt. Keep in mind that our choices don't negate our feelings. [14:12] I want you to know that it's okay to feel whatever you feel about your life changes.

Adopt an attitude of blessing.2. Your new season may require a new schedule and priorities.3. You'll probably need some new processes and routines.4.

Whenever I am transitioning from one thing to the next, throughout my day, I am practicing graceful transitions. This means that whenever I am moving from one task or meeting/conversation to the next, I am completely letting go of what I just did, and completely focus on the next things I'm about to do. Before I start the next task or leave for to meet up with a friend or whatever I might be doing, I go through the situation in my mind: how I will do this, why I will do it, what I want the result to be. This is not a long process. This is literally 30 seconds to one minute. I visualize myself do this next thing in my mind. I see myself doing it effortlessly, connected to source, connected to my nature, working with diligence, and a smile on my face. And then I get started. Even if it's like, I go out to have a coffee with a friend. I quickly visualize what sort of person I want to show up as. You know, I don't just want to show up without having put any thought behind how I want to leave this person. If I go for a coffee with a friend, I want that hour to leave my friend feeling excited about his or her life. I want them to feel good about themselves. I want them to go back home and and have had a positive experience with me. I want them to think about me and say: "every time I meet Charlotte, I feel inspired. I feel supported and understood." That's my goal in life. So therefore, before I go meet him or her, I visualize how I want to show up, what sort of energy I want to bring forth. What kind of mood I want to be in and just go through my character, to consciously show up as a positive light in the world. This has literally changed the way I go through my days. And it also means that when I go to sleep, I can let go of everything that happened during the day and sleep. It's the most amazing feeling to just let go and trust that process.

Graceful Transitions I recorded this episode pre-Corona. But I think it’s still relevant for us all. The world is in transition and none of us will be the same on the other side. In this podcast will look at some key things to think about that will help us face our life’s transitions with as much grace as we can muster. Anyone who’s gone through a major transition will attest to its hardship, but to be more specific here are some of the common feelings during a transition: self-doubt, fear, anxiety (caused by uncertainty), stress (caused by an overwhelming amount of new things) and sadness (caused by regret and the constant reminder of the past). When I was doing some research for this podcast I came across the idea that there are also 5 generally accepted stages of transition; confusion, depression, acceptance, soul-searching and the birth of a new you. I’m not sure if I agree with these stages for every transition! I have certainly experienced those but through my life I learned how to see transition creeping up and facing it head on. It doesn’t always work of course. We can’t be prepared for everything… there will be moments in life that floor us for sure. But today I’m focusing on transitions we know are coming. Turning 40, moving home, applying and moving to a new job, getting married or having a child. I’m attempting to weave the sacred into my transition times. I’m inviting learning and growth. This is also true of this global transition. We know we’re in it – so what can we do to navigate graciously? I go into detail about these main points: >>>Leaning into the discomfort of change. >>> Take your time >>> Call on your Spiritual Team for support and Guidance >>> Don’t act for the sake of action >>> Take care of yourself in little ways >>> Find someone to talk to Links I mention: Free Sacred Triangle Healing Series Email me rhonda@centreforshamanism.com to take advantage of the pay-what-you-can shamanic sessions Stay safe & much love Rhonda

Confidence. What is it? It’s the difference between staying down and getting up; between letting a “no” define you or refine you, and believing that you’re lacking and believing you’re enough.

I was so excited to sit down with my friend, actress Jennifer Joplin, whose groundedness has always inspired me. She’ll help you embrace your true self in a way that feels authentic and attainable.

Sometimes, you don’t have time to focus on yourself. Everyone is talking about self-care, and while I believe in checking in with yourself, I also know that for busy women, self-care can feel like a burden when life moves at a relentless pace. In episode 9, I gave you permission to create and take time for you. But in today’s episode, I’m getting real and explaining the flip side for when you literally don’t have time. Listen if you want help navigating the extra crazy busy seasons of your life.

She went from an art major to working with college students—and then she left her job to go back to the pottery wheel. Today I’m interviewing ceramics artist Bethany Thomas! I love her story because she gave herself permission to pursue art, detaching from the results because of her soul's need to create. We’re talking about how to stop running from imperfection and embrace it instead, what it means to speak the “language of creativity” and the power of giving yourself grace in seasons of burnout.

I was lying in bed one Saturday when I realized that my podcast was missing something: My story. As an actress and entrepreneur, I’ve been hesitant to be vulnerable about my journey, but I’m not going to be silent anymore. It was my own breaking open, my own re-awakening to my heart (and to my art) and my own struggle with resistances that compel me to share the stories of other women who are living their authentic truth. So I have to start here, with my own. Get ready for raw, real, and truthful.

Micaela knows first had what it means to navigate intense life transitions. She shares her intimate story of giving up her successful business in Italy, following love, being in a foreign country and having to learn a new language, becoming a parent , re-invent herself and re-build her business. The post 016: Graceful Transitions with Micaela Becattini appeared first on Aesha Kennedy | Mindful Creative Living for Soulful Women.

Micaela Becattini is, in her own words “devoted to growth and evolution”, especially in the midst of significant challenge, something that she has rather a lot of first hand experience with! In 2004 Micaela moved to Australia from Italy and found moving countries to be an intense and challenging, especially the adaptation to a new culture and a new language. This Next Chapter in her life was disorientating, and she was concerned that she had bitten off a bit much as she struggled to find her feet, make new friends, and in fact, redefine her own identity.. Shortly afterwards the challenges increased when she developed Crohns Disease, an immune disease that is invisible, but debilitating and this further reinforced her sense of social isolation. But Micaela is a fighter! She shook off “my victim mentality”, let go of the feeling of shame and embarrassment and started a support group in her area for others. And that was just the beginning of her own graceful transition, as she embraced her personal power. Today, Micaela is a Life Transitions Coach. She works with women who are underdoing their own transformations, stepping them through her unique process of change, helping them to face their fears and take the baby steps of courage that will open up a whole new life.
