As I approach the one-year anniversary of my TEDx talk, I am reminded of an important lesson about fear, uncertainty, and love. In this repeat episode of Ten Minutes to Less Suffering, I share how preparing for my talk stirred up stress and anxiety. It was not because I was unprepared, but because I became attached to the belief that my talk had to be perfect, that everything needed to unfold exactly as I imagined. Remembering Rumi's words that fear is the non-acceptance of uncertainty, I turned back to my “Maybe practice.” Letting go of the need for certainty and perfection allowed me to shift from fear into presence, gratitude, and love. In that space, I was finally able to enjoy the experience.  In this episode, I invite you to explore:     •    Why fear often arises when we refuse to accept uncertainty.     •    How clarifying your goals and separating fear statements from the present can ease anxiety.     •    Ways the “Maybe practice” can open the door to creativity, gratitude, and possibility. Suffering often comes from clinging to fixed outcomes. When we accept uncertainty as a friend, we create space for joy and new opportunities because Maybe the best is yet to come! And, by the way, the talk turned out to be pretty amazing!  Here is the link! https://youtu.be/Cmb8pp5_CUM?si=qclttN9usQn4bp01 If you found this podcast enjoyable, kindly consider subscribing and leaving a rating or review.

Send us a textHi, it's Turo here. In this episode, I'm diving into something a little different: how culture shapes the way we eat, move, and think about health.Growing up in Finland, meals were quick, functional, and often tied to rules and restriction. Now living in Italy, I've experienced the complete opposite—meals as social events, daily movement built into life, and a guilt-free approach to enjoying food.I'll share the biggest lessons I've learned from both cultures, from how Italians stay active without “working out,” to why their relationship with pasta looks nothing like the diet culture mindset in Northern Europe.If you've ever struggled with guilt around food or felt like exercise was just a box to check, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on how to build sustainable, balanced habits—no matter where you live.

Although some studio owners feel like “sales” is a dirty word, the reality is that it's the lifeblood of your business. Establishing a natural rhythm can help integrate this critical responsibility.   In Episode 673: The Sales Rhythm that Grows Fitness Studios, Coach Caroline Plambeck outlines how you can develop an organized, cyclical sales process.    Paint the panorama: identify annual goals, then break into quarterly targets Get granular: reverse-engineer monthly, weekly and daily goals from annual numbers Appoint ownership: delegate sales responsibilities to all team members Aim broadly: address intro offers, reactivations, winbacks and current members Touch base: use shift reports, check-ins and data for real-time status   Winning at sales doesn't mean you need a new offer every week – or the lowest prices. Sales isn't just hustle – it's about rhythm and routine.

When we resist the present moment because it doesn't match our expectations, we create distance from our happiness. We tell stories about how things should be or fear what the future might hold, and in doing so, we miss the value and possibility in what's actually here. When we accept what is and remember that uncertainty is a space of unlimited potential, we become more present, open, and available. This not only helps us get the most out of the moment, it is also a powerful recipe for creating a better future. Affirmation: I accept this moment as it is, and I trust that uncertainty holds the potential for something beautiful. I release the stories that create distance from my happiness and stay open to all that life has to offer.

Would you die for your kids? Most dads would. But would you live for them? In this powerful episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I sit down with Andrew Jax—father of three, Australian natural bodybuilding champion, and founder of the “Ditch the Dad Fat” program. Known as the “6 Pack Dad,” Andrew shares how optimizing your health isn't just about looking good—it's about leading with strength, energy, and integrity at home. We explore the silent leadership of fatherhood, why most men's health declines after marriage, and how to reverse that trend with small, sustainable changes. Andrew breaks down the real cost of saying “I don't have time,” the importance of emotional and physical energy for our families, and how you can enjoy your pizza and beer—and still lose the dad bod. Whether you're already committed to health or just thinking about getting back in the game, this episode will fire you up and equip you with strategies you can use today.   TIMELINE SUMMARY: [0:00] - Would you die for your kids? What about live for them?

Health Is a Legacy Issue Your kids aren't just watching—they're modeling. Leading with health means passing on a generational inheritance of physical, emotional, and mental well-being. They'll follow your example more than your advice. 2. Self-Care Is Not Selfish Skipping your workout may feel noble in the moment, but long-term neglect robs your family of your energy, presence, and vitality. When you take care of yourself, you increase your capacity to take care of others. 3. You Don't Need Hours or Perfection You don't need five workouts a week or chicken and broccoli forever. Andrew's clients are busy dads and business owners who see results with three efficient sessions per week and a flexible, sustainable eating plan. 4. Daily Accountability Changes Everything Forget once-a-week check-ins. Andrew's clients get results through daily guidance and support. If you want real change, don't go it alone—build a system that keeps you on track every single day. 5. Lead at Home Like You Lead at Work Andrew's success isn't just in coaching—it's in how he shows up as a husband and father. He shares how servant leadership, spiritual alignment, and presence fuel his connection with his wife and kids every day.   LINKS & RESOURCES: Free copy of my Ditch The Dad Fat eBook: ditchthedadfatbook.gr8.com Free training on How Busy Dads Are Losing 10-35lbs & Reclaiming Their Health, Energy & Confidence In 6 Weeks Without Exercise or Extreme Diets: ditchthedadfat.com Ditch The Dad Fat Podcast: rebrand.ly/DTDFPodcast Dad Edge Podcast Website: https://www.thedadedge.com Episode Page: https://www.thedadedge.com/538 If this episode gave you fresh perspective or practical tips, please rate, follow, review, and share the podcast.

Send us a textEp 640: Hunted at Work for a Quickie with the Chef written and narrated by podcast host Ruan Willow. Dana, now single after a dull unsexy marriage, was working at an old folks home to make money for herself and her kids. She had started offering side jobs of taboo acts for the residents to earn extra money to help pay her way through nursing school. The Chef of the home, Cyrus, had found this out and wanted in on the action, but promised to pay her in pleasure instead. They'd fallen into a sexy game of hunter and prey, which they enacted on their work breaks, and found hidden places around the building to have sex. Having almost got caught, they were swift and smart about their sneaky rendezvous. Dana, who gets very turned on by Cyrus's filthy dirty talk, gets a surprise from him that leaves her excited for more of the sexy middle-aged chef.Enjoy this spicy erotic fiction story!

Inspired by a talk from spiritual teacher Guy Finley, this episode explores the idea that “the pain of uncertainty is not proof that something is wrong.” We often resist the unknown, assuming discomfort means danger or failure. But what if uncertainty isn't the problem—what if it's the path? This episode invites you to shift your relationship with not knowing, release the false comfort of control, and discover the peace and possibility that live in presence. The unknown isn't the enemy—it might just be the beginning of something greater. If you found this podcast enjoyable, kindly consider subscribing and leaving a rating or review.

This week on Ten Minutes to Less Suffering, explore a subtle yet powerful source of stress: the habit of constantly defending your perspective.

To celebrate 300 episodes of Ten Minutes to Less Suffering, I'm revisiting one of the most meaningful episodes in the series. Inspired by a passage from the Tao Te Ching, this episode explores how the empty spaces in our lives—moments of uncertainty, loss, or stillness—can become the starting point for growth, creativity, and true fulfillment. We often rush to fill the void, but what if that emptiness is exactly where our next beginning lives? What if the unknown holds the very thing we've been waiting for?
