Podcasts about Grounding

If you keep waiting to feel confident, ready, or comfortable before you say yes to the thing you actually want. A new job. A retreat. A party where you only know one person. Dating again. Speaking up. Starting the thing. Nicole and I are unpacking why “being comfortable” is the wrong goal—and what actually works instead.We talk about why new spaces are *supposed* to feel uncomfortable, why courage has a real physical sensation in your body (and why it kind of sucks), and how waiting to feel ready is often the very thing keeping you stuck. If you've ever told yourself “I'll do it once I feel better / calmer / more confident,” this episode will lovingly interrupt that pattern.You'll hear us cover:- Why you don't get comfortable *before* new experiences—you get comfortable *by doing them*- What courage actually feels like in the body (and why it's not calm)- How to build a simple personal “toolbox” for uncomfortable moments- Why breath is the most underrated regulation tool you already have- Grounding practices that help you come back into your body fast- How reframing nerves can immediately reduce anxiety- Why everyone you think is confident is still nervous- The difference between fear as a signal vs fear as a stop sign- How to stop letting discomfort talk you out of your dreamsAnd if you're a mom listening to this thinking, “Okay, but I barely survived January”...let's be honest: January for moms is a prank.While everyone else is goal-setting and “new year, new me”-ing, we're taking down decorations, surviving winter break, hosting family, and running on fumes. So if you're just now feeling ready to think about your year… you're right on time.That's why we created The Mom's Actual New Year (Feb 9–26) — a 3-week, bite-sized, fun-forward reset designed for real mom life. No pressure. No perfection. Just live coaching, accountability, and a vision board party to help you reconnect to what you actually want and start moving—without waiting to feel ready.Because comfort doesn't come first. Action does.February is the real new year. Dur doi.

This is a short but necessary episode. Recorded in the middle of the Tucson Gem Show chaos, Morgan shows up anyway to speak to the heaviness so many witches are feeling right now. With everything happening in the world, especially in the United States, this episode isn't polished or planned. It's honest. It's grounded. And it's coming straight from the heart. Morgan talks about why staying silent doesn't feel neutral anymore, especially for witches who have historically stood with the silenced, the oppressed, and the erased. She shares why she's been focusing on grounding, creating safety at home, and tending to her own energy while still refusing to look away from the loss of human life and the gaslighting happening in real time. This episode is a reminder that self-care and speaking up are not opposites. That protecting your nervous system matters. And that even quiet acts, like grounding, donating, spellwork, or sharing resources, still ripple out into the collective. Topics covered include: Why "silence is compliance" hit hard and changed her perspective The overlap between politics and human lives, and why that line matters Grounding practices for witches during overwhelming times Protecting your energy without disconnecting from your values Magick as support, not bypassing Why it's okay to rest, step back, or turn off the noise when needed This episode isn't here to tell you what to do. It's here to remind you that however you're processing right now, you're not wrong, and you're not alone.

What happens when someone grows up deeply religious… yet can see and communicate with spirits from childhood? In today's episode of The You-est You® Podcast, I sit down with Jill M. Jackson, a gifted psychic medium and spiritual teacher, to explore her courageous and soul-led journey — from a Southern Baptist upbringing to fully embracing her intuitive and mediumistic gifts. We talk about: ✨ Seeing spirits as a child ✨ Navigating fear, faith, and spiritual truth ✨ Grounding and protecting your energy as an empath ✨ Starseeds, New Earth consciousness, and divine purpose ✨ Why love is the antidote to fear in our world One of my biggest takeaways from Jill is this reminder: You don't need to fear your gifts — you're here to embody them. Leave a comment or share what resonated — I love hearing your insights and wisdom. Here's to claiming your intuition and choosing love, over fear!.   About Jill M. Jackson Jill M.

Over time, she embraced her gifts and devoted her life to helping others trust their intuition, ground their energy, and live guided by love rather than fear. Known for her grounded presence and compassionate approach, Jill teaches about mediumship, spirit guides, starseeds, and New Earth consciousness, with a strong emphasis on energetic boundaries, embodiment, and discernment.

Today's session is a little different than a typical meditation or breathwork practice.This isn't about zoning out. It's not about getting sleepy. And it's not about escaping stress.Today, we're training your nervous system.Just like strength, balance, or coordination, calm is a skill. And skills get better with reps.Most people live in a nervous system that's always “on.” Always alert. Always reacting. Always bracing.And the problem isn't stress itself — it's that we rarely practice downshifting while staying present.So today's session is about grounding.Grounding doesn't shut you down. It stabilizes you. It teaches your body that it's safe right here, without checking out.All you need to do is follow along. There's nothing to fix. Nothing to force.Let's get started.Resources:Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdCaldera Lab Skin Carewww.calderalab.comDiscount Code: CoachDLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

If you're a health-focused entrepreneur who hustles hard but feels inflamed, exhausted, wired-but-tired, or out of rhythm with your body, this episode is for you. In this conversation, I sit down with Dr. Shivani Gupta to explore how chronic stress, circadian rhythm disruption, and nervous system overload are quietly driving inflammation, burnout, gut issues, hormone imbalance, and immune dysfunction—especially in high-achieving women. We talk about Ayurveda as a practical, modern lifestyle framework, not a trend, and how understanding your elemental design (dosha) can help you work with your biology instead of constantly fighting it. This episode is a grounding reminder that you can still be ambitious—and healthy—at the same time. What You'll Learn in This Episode 1. Why Stress Creates Inflammation (Even If You Eat "Healthy") Chronic mental and emotional stress keeps the nervous system locked in fight-or-flight, which directly fuels physical inflammation and chronic disease. We talk about why you can't live in hustle mode 24/7 without eventually draining your reserves—and how burnout is often the body's last signal to slow down. 2. Circadian Rhythm and Seasonal Hustle Not every season of life is meant for full throttle. We discuss how circadian rhythm and elemental design teach us when to push—and when to rest—so we don't burn out the very bodies we rely on to build our businesses. 3. Ayurveda 101: Understanding Your Elemental Design Dr. Shivani breaks down the three Ayurvedic constitutions in a modern, relatable way: Vata (air + ether): creative, fast-moving, prone to anxiety, dryness, insomnia Pitta (fire + water): driven, focused, prone to irritability, inflammation, overheating Kapha (earth + water): steady, nurturing, prone to sluggish metabolism, stagnation Knowing your type helps you eat, work, rest, and self-regulate more effectively—especially as an entrepreneur. 4. Food as Grounding, Not Restriction We talk about why: Vata types often need more carbs and healthy fats, not less Pitta types need cooling foods to calm inflammation Kapha types thrive with movement and warm, easy-to-digest meals This conversation reframes food as nourishment and regulation—not control. 5. Perimenopause, Menopause & Hormonal Shifts We dive into how Ayurveda supports women through hormone changes by focusing on: Sleep quality Gut health Stress regulation Circadian rhythm alignment Herbal and lifestyle support Rather than fearing these transitions, we talk about how to move through them with more resilience and self-trust.

Tune in here to this Thursday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about January’s political chaos and the escalating unrest in Minneapolis, taking a hard look at what the country has just lived through as the month comes to a close. He walks listeners through a whirlwind news cycle that included a looming government shutdown, immigration backlash, judicial fights, foreign policy flashpoints, major economic shocks, and mounting global tensions. Brett argues this was not a normal month by any stretch, but a stress test for the nation itself. Zeroing in on Minneapolis We’re joined by Bobby Conrad from Holy Trinity Catholic Middle School and Kevin Parks from Mecklenburg Area Catholic Schools to talk about Catholic Schools Week and the mission behind Catholic education in Charlotte. Bobby and Kevin explain how Catholic Schools Week is a time to celebrate faith, community, and a break from the everyday routine, complete with student activities that build connection and joy. They highlight Holy Trinity’s nearly 1,000 students, strong academics, vibrant athletics, and clubs, all grounded in a Christ-centered approach. The conversation focuses on what they call the “special sauce” of Catholic education: partnering with families, forming the whole person, and creating lifelong community. They share powerful stories of schools rallying around families in need, emphasizing service over spectacle. Bobby and Kevin also address common questions about enrollment, faith backgrounds, and uniforms, reinforcing that Catholic schools are open, welcoming, disciplined, and focused on shaping students for success in life and beyond.

February 1st, according to the Akashic Records, is the Energetic New Year and the energy of this month really sets the stage, tone and direction for the remainder of the year. The Akashic Guidance spoke clearly - "You must feel. Is your spine straight? You can be both compassionate and home within yourself."  In today's episode, Ashley begins by channeling the Akashic Guidance from the Akashic Records for the month. Then, she invites Faith on to look at the era-definining astrology that's opening in February and what we are to learn from all of this. Grounding. Embodiment. Soverignty.  Finally, Ashley and Faith annouce that they are opening a second offering of The North Node, beginning February 25th.

Taking a deep dive into Rooting, which is a practice similar to grounding in that it helps us get out of our heads, calm down, consolidate back into ourselves after being over extended and allows us to practice mindfulness, but it does so through a both/and approach which includes and encourages us to connect. The key is into what and how.

Summary In this conversation, Gary Roberts and Ash discuss the profound impact of yoga and alternative healing methods on mental health, particularly for first responders. Ash shares insights on yoga nidra, a deep relaxation practice, and its benefits for stress management and healing. They explore the importance of preparation in healing journeys, the stress response in high-pressure professions, and the spiritual aspects of yoga. Practical advice is given for first responders to incorporate grounding practices into their lives, along with addressing common misconceptions about yoga and meditation.   Takeaways Yoga is often misunderstood as just physical exercise. Yoga nidra is a powerful tool for relaxation and healing. Preparation is crucial for effective healing experiences. The stress response can be detrimental to mental health. Yoga offers a holistic approach to well-being. First responders need grounding practices to manage stress. The yogic path includes ethical and spiritual dimensions. Finding personal peace is essential for healing. Breath work can prepare individuals for deeper experiences. Misconceptions about yoga can hinder its benefits.  Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Background of the Guest 03:53 Yoga as a Healing Modality 08:14 The Role of Yoga Nidra in Mental Health 11:57 Integrating Yoga with Psychedelic Therapy 16:03 The Importance of Preparation in Healing 20:03 Understanding Stress Responses in First Responders 23:48 The Path of Yoga and Self-Discovery 30:03 Practical Steps for Grounding and Relaxation 34:01 Misconceptions About Yoga and Meditation 37:55 Finding Your Personal Path in Healing 43:05 Conclusion and Resources for Further Exploration   How to Get Involved: Gary Roberts is the founder and CEO of Neurovus an AI driven mental health app that learns through personal conversation and your waerables, a company based not only on creating and selling a mobile app but one on a mission to change the landscape of how mental health and addiction are treated.

Community & Cultural Gaslighting: Protecting the Nervous System in an Age of ChaosWhen communities are flooded with conflicting narratives—each emotionally charged and claiming exclusive truth—the nervous system enters a state of chronic stress. This phenomenon, known as cultural gaslighting, destabilizes our sense of reality by overwhelming the brain's threat-detection systems while suppressing the prefrontal cortex responsible for discernment and reason. The result is widespread anxiety, polarization, and emotional exhaustion—not because people are weak or uninformed, but because prolonged exposure to contradiction and fear dysregulates the brain, vagus nerve, and stress response. What feels like confusion is often a physiological signal that coherence and safety have been disrupted.Protecting the mind and heart in such an environment begins with regulation before reaction. A calm nervous system restores clarity, allowing facts to be separated from emotional manipulation and complexity to replace binary thinking. Grounding in local reality, slowing the breath, limiting exposure, and refusing outrage-driven narratives help preserve both compassion and strength. True resilience is not numbness or anger, but the ability to remain embodied, thoughtful, and humane—anchored in truth without surrendering to chaos.Dr. Fred Clary, founder of Functional Analysis Chiropractic Technique and lifting/life coach/ gym-chalk covered philosopher talks about Community Gaslighting! 

In this episode of the Altium OnTrack podcast, host Zach Peterson sits down with Todd Hubing, president of LearnEMC. With over 40 years of experience in electromagnetic compatibility starting at IBM in 1982, Todd brings unparalleled expertise to some of the most misunderstood topics in PCB design. This conversation dives deep into grounding myths, decoupling capacitor placement, stack-up strategies, and common mode currents, challenging long-held assumptions that many designers take for granted.  

In this episode (#317), we address one of the most destabilizing experiences betrayed partners face: the collapse of reality after discovering a partner's hidden addiction. When betrayal comes from someone who appeared kind, loving, and emotionally present, the trauma can feel especially disorienting. Partners often question their intelligence, intuition, and judgment—but we make it clear that intuition cannot detect information that was deliberately concealed. Betrayal is not a failure of perception; it is the result of sustained secrecy, compartmentalization, and integrity abuse.Rather than focusing on whether the addict is truly in recovery or what the future might hold, we invite partners to gently shift their attention back to themselves. Grounding becomes essential in the aftermath of betrayal, as the nervous system is often locked in hypervigilance and survival mode. We explore the importance of pausing—not freezing—so that decisions are not driven by fear, pressure, or urgency. Authentic wants and needs are not ultimatums or selfish demands; they are expressions of self-truth that deserve to be honored, especially after trauma.Finally, we discuss what it means to reclaim self-trust. Loving another person authentically requires seeing them as they truly are, not just through hope or potential—but it also requires honoring one's own authentic limits, capacity, and bandwidth. This episode is not about making the “right” relationship decision. It is about choosing a path that allows the betrayed partner to remain congruent, grounded, and whole. Healing does not require predicting the future; it begins by staying honest with yourself in the present.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:   From Shock to Self-Trust:  Reclaiming Your Inner Truth After BetrayalLearn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services

Anxiety spiking? Try this instead. If you've ever felt "off" and couldn't quite find your way back—this episode is for you. I'm joined by my friend Jenny King (acupuncturist + certified aromatherapist) for a deeply grounding, practical conversation on using essential oils as part of your real-life support toolkit—especially when you're dealing with stress, overwhelm, perimenopause shifts, migraines, or that frazzled "10,000 things" feeling. This is not about any specific brand, and we're not selling you anything. It's education, nervous system support, and a gentle way home. We start with a simple guided moment (yes, you can do it even if you don't have oils), then walk through how to pair oils with acupressure points—like a "lock and key" for your energy and your body. Heads up: This episode is a little different than usual. If you can, listen when you're not driving—you may want a pen and paper.

Author Brian Raftery joins us to explain how Silence of the Lambs didn't just give us a scary villain—it invented a whole new type. Before Hannibal Lecter, horror villains were mostly slashers in masks. Lecter changed the rules: he was clever, charming, and used his mind as a weapon. That's why this movie—and this character—still haunts us decades later. We break down what made Lecter different, why he's scarier than a guy with a knife, and how this film changed scary movies forever. Brian also shares secrets from his new book, Hannibal Lecter: A Life.

What does quantum biology have to do with chronic illness? It sounds like one of those phrases people drop to impress you. On this episode of the Medical Disruptors, we're exploring it for a very real problem: when symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and chronic pain don't fit the usual boxes, the medical language runs out fast. That's exactly why I'm sitting down again with Dr. Eleanor Stein, MD and psychiatrist, for our third conversation. We explore how the body responds to “information” beyond food and meds: circadian rhythm, sunlight, blue light, red/infrared light, mitochondria, metabolism, and why energy transfer can shape fatigue, resilience, and even blood sugar and insulin resistance. This episode is a perspective shift. If your symptoms seem impossible to diagnose, hit play.

We discuss how morning light impacts leptin signaling, insulin sensitivity, cortisol, and melatonin, why modern indoor living disrupts metabolic health, and how maintaining a strong negative cellular charge is critical for mitochondrial function. We also cover red and infrared light therapy, optimal timing, metabolic benefits, and key considerations during pregnancy — plus how to integrate protein intake, calories in vs. calories out, and resistance training with circadian alignment for sustainable fat loss. Topics include: Light exposure and leptin signaling Circadian rhythm and fat loss Cellular charge and mitochondrial health Grounding and infrared light Red light therapy timing and pregnancy considerations Balancing calories, protein, and training with circadian biology

This sermon explores Nehemiah chapter 2, teaching how prayerful dependence on God leads to faithful action. The message addresses the common struggle of knowing what to do when God seems to be moving slowly, warning against two spiritual ditches: giving up in passivity or taking control through manipulation. Instead, the sermon presents a third way—waiting on the Lord while remaining actively obedient. Using Nehemiah's example, the message shows how to step forward with courage, ground ourselves in humility and preparation, and stand firm against opposition and self-righteousness. The central teaching emphasizes that true faith involves both deep dependence on God and diligent action, summarized as "step, ground, stand."Main Points:Faith Steps Forward (2:1–8) Obedience in “waiting for the Lord” transitions to obedience in courageous and diligent action as the Lord leads.Vision Gets Grounded (2:9–16)Faithful leaders don't need fanfare; they humbly gather facts to help them discern faithful action.Leadership Stands Firm (2:17–20)God's servant puts to death any self-righteousness and invites God's people to move in unity toward God's promises.Scripture Referenced:Nehemiah 2:1-20 (main passage); Nehemiah 1; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18; Proverbs 21:1; Psalm 27:14; Lamentations 3:25; Isaiah 40:31; Proverbs 18:13; Proverbs 19:2; Proverbs 14:15; Proverbs 31; Job 29 and 31; Ecclesiastes 3:1-5; Proverbs 28:1; Esther 4; Daniel 6; Genesis 16; Matthew 22:21Community Group Guide:Begin with Prayer - Begin by asking God to help your group share authentically and honestly in a way that encourages one another and pushes your group toward Christ.Discussion Questions:Part 1: The Two Ditches (Introduction)Which "ditch" do you tend to fall into when facing difficult circumstances?Giving up and becoming passive ("If God wants to fix it, He'll fix it")Taking control and moving ahead without God ("God helps those who help themselves")Part 2: Stepping Forward (Read Nehemiah 2:1-8)Nehemiah waited four months before acting. How do you distinguish between God's timing and your own procrastination or fear?Nehemiah's instinct to pray in the moment (v. 4) reveals a heart shaped by faithful waiting on the Lord. Often, when we wait on God seeking answers, He deepens relationship instead. Has there been a season where God Himself became more precious to you than the outcome you were hoping for?Part 3: Grounding in Humility (Read Nehemiah 2:9-16)Nehemiah gathered facts before announcing his plan. How does the principle "facts are our friends" apply to a decision you're currently facing?Nehemiah chose discretion over fanfare.Where in your life might you be tempted to seek recognition or justification rather than quietly trusting God with your faithfulness?Part 4: Standing Firm (Read Nehemiah 2:17-20)When opposition came, Nehemiah stood firm because he knew 'what time it is' - how does closeness with God help you define reality and discern when to stand against criticism?Practical Application:If you are waiting on the Lord in a particular area, take note of how many times this week you're tempted to either give up or take control.Journal about those instances and confess this to God, asking the Spirit to help you depend on His leadership as you faithfully wait.Share with someone in your Community Group if there is a tendency one way or another and ask them to join you in praying against it.Read Nehemiah 3 in preparation for Sunday's sermon.Personal Reflection:What am I waiting on God for right now?What faithful action can I take while I wait?Where do I need to ground myself in humility and preparation?Are there any facts I need to gather before I am ready to act?Are there any areas where I am looking for fanfare that I need to confess to God?Worship Setlist: Life Defined; Agnus Dei; All Hail King Jesus; Shout to the Lord; Build My Life; Yet Not I But Through Christ in Me

It's a Sunday Solo, and Jane Morgan is showing up with a snotty nose, a tender nervous system, and a question a lot of us are carrying right now: what is spiritual practice actually for when nothing feels okay? In this episode of Medium Curious, Jane talks honestly about living in a time when the news is relentless, your heart is tired, and the world feels like it's teetering. She shares the ways she's been “resourcing” herself — not to bypass what's happening, but to stay in her body, steady her nervous system, and find a real corner of calm in the chaos. You'll hear a simple grounding visualization you can do anywhere (even while driving), a sweet nervous-system reset (hand on heart + belly), an easy breath “hack” (longer exhales), and a practical reminder to build a list of your personal resources — from nature walks and music to trusted friends, art, pets, and you betcha… angels. Jane also shares a meaningful synchronicity around her birthday, a celestite crystal, a necklace with angel wings, and a reminder that when we find steadiness inside ourselves, it ripples outward. Because right now, being calm and centered isn't just self-care — it's service. Mentioned in this episode: Angel Speak: How to Talk with Your Angels by Barbara Mark & Trudy Griswold Medium Curious episode with Cheryl (Chuck) Rosenthal on the nervous system  A recent episode of Next Level Soul featuring Yogi Raj + a meditation on radiating peace  Medium Curious episode with Radleigh Valentine on Angels Keywords  spiritual practice when overwhelmed, spiritual practices during difficult times, grounding meditation, calming the nervous system, breathwork for anxiety, rest and digest, meditation for stress, nature as healing, community support, emotional resilience, angels and spiritual support, how to find peace when nothing is okay, mindfulness for hard times Takeaways Spiritual practice isn't “aspirational” right now — it's a respite. If your nervous system isn't calibrated, everything feels harder. Grounding (earth + divine connection) can bring you back to one. Hand on heart + hand on belly is a small gesture with big impact. Longer exhales (5 in / 7 out) can shift you out of fight-or-flight. Make a list of your personal “resources” so you can reach for them fast. Nature, music, art, pets, and trusted friends are real medicine. Calling in angels can be a practical support — and synchronicities happen. Calm isn't denial — it's a way to stay in your body and be of service. Your inner peace can ripple outward into your family and community. Sound bites “My spiritual practice has become one of the few safe places — a respite.” “If I haven't calibrated my nervous system, there's no hope for me.” “Back to one. What is your one?” “When we come back to rest and digest, we can actually serve.” “Nature is ridiculously magical — it's such a resource.” “Angels… babes. We can call them in.” Join us on Substack for The Afterlife—bonus clips after the “mic is off” (wink).

Feeling masked-out, sensory-flooded, or side-eyeing all things “spiritual” as an autistic, AuDHD, or ADHD adult? In this episode of Adulting With Autism, Ashmita Arora—teacher and founder of The Intuitive Practice and Eva & Isla®—shares a grounded take on spiritual awakening for autistic adults that does not bypass mental health, trauma, or lived experience.​ We talk about how health crises and a Kundalini “pop” pushed Ashmita to see energy as another language for understanding patterns, burnout, and shutdowns. She explains why sensitivity is not a flaw but information your nervous system is giving you, and how logic and intuition can work together instead of fighting each other.​ You will hear simple, realistic practices for: A 1-minute breathing reset to tell your body “I'm safe” during overwhelm. “Space floating” and gentle movement for peace when everything feels too loud. Channeling meltdown energy into low-pressure creativity (like doodling, swimming, or writing) to find clarity afterward.​ For ADHD and AuDHD sensory overwhelm, Ashmita normalizes non-linear growth—why your path will never look like a straight line—and offers small daily rituals to support nervous system regulation, unmasking, and self-trust. This is spiritual support for autistic adults that respects boundaries, pacing, and consent.​ If you are craving tools for spiritual awakening as an autistic adult and want help managing energy, intuition, and everyday life, this conversation is for you. Listen now for practical, compassionate ideas you can test and keep—or throw away if they do not fit your brain.

People who lie down are a fixture of contemporary literature, art, and life. Murder victims, protesters, invalids, depressives, sex workers, and more: these are the recumbent figures that populate Here Is a Figure: Grounding Literary Form (Northwestern UP, 2025) the latest book from literary critic and poet Sarah Dowling. Out now from Northwestern University Press, this fascinating and ambitious study moves to the ground of mainstream and experimental literary and artistic work from the late twentieth century to the present. There Dowling traces a pattern of prone figures, like a chain of paper dolls strewn across the floor. These figures do a surprising amount of work from their horizontal position, challenging our notions of human subjectivity and political agency, and, at the same time, turning our attention to the ground against which they stretch. In this rich and wide-ranging conversation with Alix Beeston, Dowling shares how researching and writing Here Is a Figure allowed her to work through unexpected and minor forms of feminist and anti-colonial action, the inextricability of literature and the other arts, and the groundedness—the historical and material conditions—of all artistic and scholarly labor. She issues a call for scholars of literature and art to shake off habits of mastery and detachment and instead to approach their work as a form of passionate advocacy for the enduring value of criticism.

But in a world full of noise, urgency, and constant overstimulation, many people feel disconnected from their inner knowing and unsure how to trust themselves.In this episode of Spirit Speakeasy, we explore why intuition feels harder to access right now, how fear and overthinking cloud inner guidance, and why intuition rarely shows up the way most people expect it to.

Recent news events have left many people feeling unsettled, anxious, or emotionally overwhelmed. Even when something doesn't happen directly to us, our nervous system can still register danger and respond with fear, tension, or hypervigilance. In today's Daily Shift, we gently acknowledge the impact of heavy and tragic news and explore how constant exposure can affect both the body and mind. This episode offers a grounding reminder that feeling anxious in response to violent or distressing events is not weakness — it's biology. Rather than pushing emotions away or becoming consumed by the news cycle, this shift invites you to pause, notice what your body is holding, and regulate before reacting. In this episode, we explore: How distressing news impacts the nervous system Why anxiety after tragic events is a biological response The connection between media exposure and body-based stress A simple grounding approach to help your system settle A gentle reminder: You can acknowledge what's happening in the world without overwhelming your nervous system. Grounding your body is not avoidance — it's care. Small shifts in presence create real change, even during uncertain times.
