Podcasts about i didn't

Today’s topic is the “Black Friday Blues.” How are you feeling after Black Friday? Did you get everything on your list? I honestly didn’t but one thing I DIDN’T do is overspend. Let’s talk about it and how to recover if you found yourself overspending. ALSO, today is Small Business Saturday! I encourage you to go out and sow into the lives of 3-4 business owners today. There’s many ways to support your friends in business, even if you are all spent out. You can forward their specials via social media. You can call one up to let them know how proud you are of them. You can recommend them to someone planning a conference or trade show. So take some time out to do this.

It’s my first episode of Tuskwatch folks!! The show where I take any film I’m thinking of and do a quick review! It’s the show within a show, the review within an analysis. I DIDN’T want to do an analysis of this film (and once you watch it (and you WILL) I’m sure you will realise why). Tusk defines boundaries and breaks them. It’s gorgeous it’s satisfying, it holds my little heart in its clutches and cradles it. This isn’t a joke. Go watch it. 7/10

Due to the many imbalances in life, it leaves you paying attention to JUST how important energy is to our well-being. EVERYTHING is energy. EVERYTHING has a vibration. EVERYTHING is connected one way or another. Sometimes it's necessary to disconnect from certain energies in order to keep yourself balanced - on track, due to some energies being to toxic too handle. If you don't grow up with this information, you're left as a sheep amidst wolves; brushing up against bad energies and not recognizing what it is...sometimes until it's to late. I'm so grateful I can teach my children what I DIDN'T know, as a means of keeping them aware. Have you ever been around someone and felt completely depleted of energy? Are you usually a happy, bubbly person but as soon as you get around a specific person/people, your mood changes to that of negative or sadness? This is "transfer of emotions" or the classic case of energy sucking. Beware! Peace & Blessings Y'all ~Shanda --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/shanda-nicole/message

Although I know we're 26 episodes deep already into the podcast, I wanted to take this opportunity as the new year and new decade begin to back up and tell you the back-back story of not just WHY, but also HOW I decided to start the Gotcha Mama podcast. I tell you in Episode 1, Another Mom Podcast?, why this podcast means so much to me to put out into the world. And all that is absolutely true.  But what I DIDN'T share in that episode is how I got to the point of actually deciding to create the podcast. Cliff's Notes - it was a lengthy process. And I'm going to share with you all the important details in this episode. I talk about: How I felt stuck and unfulfilled on a path that didn’t feel aligned with my goals and desires What happened that sparked creating the podcast - before I even knew what it would be about The process I went through internally to realize that starting a podcast was what I wanted to do What three things contributed most to me figuring out that the podcast was the next thing for me to invest time and energy into And a few things you can do as we start 2020 to you set yourself up for the best year ever!   For show notes and resources mentioned: http://www.gotchamama.com GOTCHA MAMA INSTAGRAM:  https://www.instagram.com/gotchamama/ GOTCHA MAMA FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/gotchamama/

New Years Bonus Episode! Reflecting back on the year that’s past is something I do every year. It’s something I enjoy as cliche as it may be...I find myself feeling a little empty when I’m most triggered to do this, I find myself in a rut. I think about all the things I DIDN'T do and forget to acknowledge all the things that I DID do. This past year, 2019, was by far one of the craziest years and definitely the biggest year of growth I’ve experienced. No guests today, just Becca.

Part 1 of the Texas special episode.  We delve into an amazing Xfinity race, talk playoffs, talk things we found in the trash at Texas, call out a generation of NASCAR fans that didn't take their kids, I DIDN'T buy a single die-cast for me at the track, and we go off on more tangents than Chase Elliott has had laps down at the last 2 races.

Here's how I DIDN'T get hired on these two cool franchise series and the real skinny on the day the beautiful FT13TH star, Robey, moved in with me...

How did I get off this week? I DIDN’T. No masturbation, no partner sex, no nothin’.I went into this week fully expecting to be driven towards finding and attracting a better partner [or partners] and instead, I was so put off by the absolutely shitty sex I had last week that just the idea of pursuing physical satisfaction left a bad taste in my mouth.Ok, also there was the incident of not seeing the shitty sex partner in person but being propositioned by him via text, attempting to gently decline, tactfully [but vaguely?] answering the questions he asked though shouldn’t have been asking, and then dealing with his subsequent attack/tantrum. That probably turned the taste in my mouth from bad to swamp awful if I’m being honest so let’s say that exchange was the real reason.Aside from all that, I had an invigorating chat with a listener from across the pond. We started off sharing details and peculiarities of the encounters we have found most rewarding and wound up getting into a passionate discussion about sexuality and politics.Then today I found out Bella Thorne has directed a porno in partnership with PornHub but as today is really part of “next week,” I shouldn’t say anything more.Other than that, big secret sexy thing planned for mid-week but it just occurred to me my period might drop in at the same time so pray with me that it won’t, please!Also! This is the last week of community voting for my bid to speak at SXSW 2020 on the topic of “Using Sex And Porn Online To Change The World IRL” so if you haven’t yet voted, please do! If you already have, please sign up to leave a comment! Engagement with the big is surely a part of it as well, and I would appreciate any and all help… visit the proposal page to vote/comment.

Michalina Lewicka-Yammine's passion for Neuroscience evolved during her master degree at the Jagiellonian University and her exchange studies at Uppsala University which led her to a PhD degree at Karolinska Institute in Developmental Neuroscience.  After graduation, her passion for marketing got her engaged with three startups and establishing her own consultancy firm. At Karolinska Institute she worked as a course leader and later as a project manager at the Alumni Office.  Throughout that journey Michalina gained many new experiences as well as gave birth to two children, and found her way to balance between being a mother and delivering and performing at work.  Nowadays, Michalina is raising two kids, running a freelance consultancy and has a full-time job as a product manager at Spiber Biomaterial - all powered by the stamina and resilience gained from motherhood. Connect with Michalina on LinkedIn.  I'm still having my own company and doing some small projects. On the side I’m working fifty percent for a biotech company and fifty percent on maternity leave. As I said, don't give up! Try it! And see if it's for you and if you don't like it, try something else and try from a different angle – try to find your balance and what suits you the most. Dr. Michalina Lewicka-Yammine, mother, freelancer and product manager at Spiber Biomaterial.   Transcript Welcome to PhD Career Stories, the podcast about career paths inside and outside academia.

I'm coming from Poland and during my master thesis in Krakow I decided to go for a student exchange and that was basically my first step to start thinking about the research projects. I have to say I really enjoyed my time in Uppsala (Sweden) after one year exchange I decided to stay and take an internship project at Uppsala University where I shared my passion for science with three really nice people and basically due to them, due to Dan and Daniel who were my supervisor and colleagues who were following me during the project, I re-discovered that I would like to do a masters degree to take a PhD. I graduated in June and searched for a PhD position... Now I know that June and July in Sweden are not the best months to get in touch with anyone. In September I was pretty frustrated about it but then it's kind of be up  and start going and I had some interviews. I was lucky and happy to secure a place in Ola Hermanson group at the department of Neuroscience in Karolinska Institute and that's how I started my ride and with the PhD life in December 2013 if I'm not wrong. I have to say it has its ups and downs but I was really lucky I had a boss who let us experience science and really struggle ourselves, it was a bit more “lets you swim” approach if you need guidance he will try to help you but he will not really tell you what to do which makes me learn a lot and let me experience, troubleshoot and don't give up. I acquired a lot of skills, really valuable skills, I had also great colleagues in my group and as well as the neighbouring groups who were really open for discussion for troubleshooting together. I was really lucky that I met people who were really inspiring. We made a lot of cool things together we were involved in some association, PhD associations, we were teaching.  I enjoyed teaching a lot. I made a PhD in development of neuroscience based on stem cell and biomaterials which was pretty cool because during that time there were people not only from karolinska institute but also from KTH which is a technical university as well as Linköping University so I had a bit of more discussion between scientists, researchers as well as engineers who are working with a different biomaterial which is really cool way to perceive the projects and communicate with people who talk all the same thing but in a different way.    The big advantage will say was about to travel. My boss always send us for some conferences and had a really good network.  Which allows me to build my own network which I found it really valuable later on and not only for your future career but also for choosing or finding your options deciding what would you like to do after the PhD. As every PhD I had my ups and downs. I have to say that I had some doubts like “Is it really for me?” but I'm one of these people who acts if I started I really want to finish it. I don’t like unfinished projects. Overall I have to say it was really good time I learn a lot. And it was definitely valuable even the down parts where project didn't work out and something went been totally wrong and you discovered it after few months of work and it's basically worth nothing differently teach I am kind of being more persistent to decide. Okay something didn't work but many other things went as planned. It was very happy by the end. I would say the solution ends up really good Meeting people from different backgrounds, different groups and different cultures help me not only to build up my friendships  but also my research and continue with my research. It helped me to build my  social skills, networking skills and communicating science it was really important and still is really important for me I was involved in a nonprofit organization which helps communicating science to the general public' we had several events around Stockham city to show them what really researchers do and how daily work works and how the research that is perceived at Karolinska institute could be implementing in their live because I think it's a pretty big gap between what we do as researchers and whqt general science knows about  research.  It was a lot of fun, a lot of extra work which was not really counted as my PhD time but it was definitely a really valuable lessons, going for meetings with some kids to elderly people and talking about stem cell research about development in neuroscience to them.  As by the end of my PhD time I wasn't really sure what I would like to do. I have seen one position that a professor who was presenting at Karolinska at one of the meetings, she said that they are searching for a postDoc and that sounds pretty cool. I applied, I went for interviews in London and the plan was to move out in March, April to London to start a PostDoc there. Overtime plan had to change and had to be changed because in January I discovered I'm pregnant and in one way it was really a blessing I was already married for over two years and we wanted to have kids. However discovering that you're pregnant while moving out to a different country that's your project doesn't really include maternity leave for the first year changing a country where you're not really cover  by the social benefits for the first year was a bit tough choice to do but for me being a mother was really important so I decided to stay in Sweden. I continue for a short time in my old group of projects just two or three weeks before the due date I stopped working as a researcher.  And I went on maternity leave but  then I decided that well to kind of keep an eye open and see what I can do that if really academia is a choice for me. I was really lucky because my husband open a company at that point and they wanted to market a bit around and he asked me if I could help them to share some information on social media so I said looking into that taking some courses online searching for some tips in reading and I discovered that in fact marketing it's not such a far fetched form of neuroscience. In marketing you use a lot from neuroscience and knowledge that we obtained Like high tracing  is really commonly used for advertising and following human brain and things and total behaviour changing this is all based on the research, purely neurobiology research.  I really liked it and I started up by doing the marketing for xxxx and I had to say that it went very well.  They get a pretty good coverage after being a year on the market as a company they were covered by a NewYork Times. They get really good funding and it was a really cool way to work with a team at the same time being a mother. I work mostly from home I basically did a lot of things on my phone while breastfeeding or having a walk with the kid. I discovered that even though before I was really good multi tasking I had good time management and I was pretty adjustable in the sense of being able to adjust to the situation Being a mother teach you that in a different dimensions and so after my maternity leave mission to lay I continue working for a small start ups and helping with marketing and trying to find a way to revive markets research in which platform they could set up and work with. I worked a bit too with a customer service support which is really good because it helps to see that stuff which for us is really clear and obvious they are might be not as easy to see for the other in the sense that maybe for me the bike is red but someone else see that the bike is lila or pink. Sometimes it's really hard to get on the same page with the customer and to understand them from a different perspective. After working in a small company I decided to apply  and be a teacher back at Karolinska institute and teach a marketing course.   That was pretty cool experience I worked for two years having a marketing course and a project management course as well as a practical placement courses. That was Master level courses  It was again really resourceful, a good way to apply my knowledge and testing it out in a different field as I said before I like teaching during my PhD time and teaching by yourself, being in charge of the course about the budget and financing it's a totally different difficulty but you have to handle with.  It was really interesting, however after a while decide to move out with in Karolinska and go to Alumni office and try to see how we could get the alumni more involved and more visible for the benefits of Karolinska and it was again a really cool team, a really good experience. Learning the structures of a big organization such ad Karolinska It was really beneficial for me to see how many different coins have to get together so how many different balls have to the jungles at ones and some parts of departments can take decisions.  Which is totally different when I was working in small companies, small start ups really have like five max ten people team versus a hundred people who are management who have more regular meetings it's not like we just write what's happened, let's talk...  I have to have a meeting with more structured way due to the size of the organizations. I became pregnant and we bought a house at the same time, the houses a delay and it's going to come at same time as my second baby, it’s a baby boy. Two months before my due date I get a phone call from them from my colleagues I was collaborating with during my PhD time,testing to biomaterials and she told me that their companies trying to go public and start selling and they need someone to help them up with a marketing. When we talked on the phone and she was describing the position I was “Gosh this is my dream job”. It is marketing, doing marketing for a biotech company. For a product which in fact I know really well because I was involved in the early stages of the research and partly I feel like I'm definitely want to go and talk with them so I did.  It was a bit funny because when I entered I was like two months in due dates.  So it definitely could see it I was pretty huge at the time and my belly was sticking out much more in front of me. I Didn't say much in the beginning and it was basically me who brought it up to the table telling them that yes the positions sounds good I would definitely be interested however yes my due date is soon  We decided to all have a moment to think about and we talk to each other a week after. I was really thrilled that they decided to give me a phone call with the suggestion that they're interested and they are flexible for me to start working soon after my delivery but I could work out from home. Help them up from a more distance things or bring the kids with me to work and I think this is a brilliant way because we are nowadays living in Sweden at least me I'm living in Sweden and I think Sweden is very  open for having kids, for having kids at work and for females working with a kid in an office it's not a big surprise and maybe some people still feel this with weird but many people don't see it as a problem and I end up pretty lucky to be in a company which says it’s okay this is totally okay with my four months old baby discovering the voice and kind of giggling on a side when we are having a conversation and discussion. It’s definitely hard for me to juggle my maternity leave together with my work plus having a ‘four and a half years old which is full of ideas and active little girl which is definitely cannot stay in one place and play she's too active for that. It was also pretty tricking in the sense that I had to unpack the house, furnished  the house and try to set it up and find time for myself.  Which is definitely not so easy I thought that having one child definitely change my world and teach me a lot. Change my understanding of being a flexible and time management. But having second one basically you have to learn it again from scratch you have to experience it in a different way.  Because the responsibility increase as you progress in your family life as well as your career.  So the flexibility has to increase in some way too it is definitely hard, especially for me for a person who likes to have few plans, structure and doesn't like surprises. Having two kids is full of surprises.  Definitely work and motherhood can coexist.  And you can have it all and there are moments where everything under the plan.  If it feels like whoa, it's just too good to be true and know that soon something is going to go down or can go wrong.  And this could be like a easy thing that it's a flu season and then one of the kids can get sick or bring a virus and the little one just have a running nose but you get a forty degree fever and you can’t move.  You don't really have an influence on that.  I'm really happy and really thrilled that I have a partner,l friends and family who are really helpful.That can really rely on.  And so this is not only my duty and my skills to juggle with all. We share responsibilities really well with my parents and my partner of taking care of the kids and taking care of the house or helping each others and a daily basis. I think this is a huge blessing for me. I  know everyone don’t have this on a daily basis. I read some studies that forty three percent of highly qualified women decide to leave the carriers for having kids and I think that definitely does not an option for me I'm too active person, I always do a few things once. As being a full time my mom at home, It's not really my thing I would definitely get a bit frustrated I mean I need things which are more stimulating and more pushing up from behind and challenging a bit more.  As much as I love my kids and I love spending time with them. I need the kind of more intellectual stimulation, some kind of me time.  That's why I always try to stay updated with museum, theater, cinema. Try to read maybe now I have not so much time for reading but I switch to the audiobook and I’m listening at least in the way when I drop the kids to preschool, or driving to work or taking the bus or the train.   And so it's really really good time which you can use it for this kind of stuff.    I have to say that at first when I was signing up the contract and it was like literally six weeks before the due date I was really afraid of how it's going to end up because how the little one didn't show up today, I was a bit afraid if he has a colleague or maybe I have a post partum depression or maybe I would not feel well or you know there's a tones of thought running in your head especially when you are pregnant and you see everything pretty black. But in the end I was really happy at all clear it up well.    My son is an amazing baby, a really happy baby. I started to work in february mostly from home. Nowadays we are going more and more to the office and try to be at least once or twice a week in the office, having more personal meetings with my colleagues and discussing about product launch, the website and updates and things like that. I work a lot by night and this is again pretty good that I'm an evening person.  I am not a morning, I don’t like to wake up in the morning, so in the morning I just rather do things on autopilot and in the evening when the kids are sleeping in that house is basically under control and I have time to sit down and focus and continue with my task and fulfill my duties as an employee.  I definitely can say that especially nowadays with all the digital media and digital appliances which you can just take along with you and you can reply to email on the playgrounds when the dotter is playing and the son is sleeping in the pram.  You can keep an update with your website and keep in touch with your company and colleagues. It is definitely  possible to have it all. Having  family and having jobs at the same time. It's not easy and sometimes it's a bit messy, complicated and overwhelming but  in the end I think this is a life it's not really easy peasy.  There are times up and down, I have to say that overall I fing my life really satisfying even though it is challenging but as I said before, I like challenges I definitely enjoy it more when it's more. I prefer the challenges than have it a bit boring.   I think this is for all of the females who are thinking like well should I try it or should I not try. I would prefer to try something and say okay this is for me or this is not for me than just sitting and thinking about what would it be if So if you have a doubt about being a mother and having a career life, Give it a shot! It's always better to say and okay I tried it didn't work out than to be later on fifty or sixty and thinking it would have been so cool if I would have done it like that twenty years ago. I don't like speculation, I think that's kind of my research nature coming up in it. I prefer to have facts so. I tried it and I see if it works or not.  In many ways I think work is the center of our lives. Even though from my family is super hard for me. I wouldn't be able to provide for my family if I wouldn't have my work too because I need the balance between family time and work time which is a bit of my own time. Which is the time I can really plan and predict because when you're at home you cannot predict with two small kids which is really resourceful you cannot plan your day. I definitely learn a totally new set of skills even though I was good in time management and I was pretty flexible. I learned it in a new dimension because the life taught you a lot of things in a different time and maybe not times which you have definitely not plan it and it could be from illness to day off at school because they have some planning or schedule and so you have to deliver the unexpected. Juggling few balls at the same time it's pretty, it’s really challenging. The work life balance is hard I still managed to find some time for myself. When my daughter was two I started dancing again I like dancing this is my thing, that's relax me. I joined a group which is started class and we are dancing modern Jazz.  We were lucky because we not only compete on a national level, we got to the second place in Sweden we went for the international competition competed for Sweden and got a third place which felt really cool especially for me because I'm Polish and I was dancing in the Swedish national team and we get a third place  It felt pretty weird also showing that the workplace nowadays it's so open, it’s so multicultural people moving and changing, adjusting to different situations. I think we all should have our dreams and hopes in some way try to follow some plans but also take all the punches that comes on the way trying new possibility not to be close mine but pretty open to new options and suggestions. Because I think if I would just chose just a career or just the motherhood I will feel excluded from the outer part.  I can see that at least for now I can say for myself it's definitely possible and it was definitely possible for my mother, she kept her career and two kids in the home when I had really caring parents and the small of the cake at home and she managed to succeed in her career so I think that especially nowadays when the world get more open for that working mothers. That it's even easier and it's a pity not to try. I'm still having my own company and doing some small projects. On the side I’m working fifty percent for a biotech company and fifty percent on maternity leave As I said, don't give up! Try it!  And see if it's for you and if you don't like it, try something else and try from a different angle – try to find your balance and what suits you the most. Take your life in your hands and then don't give up if it doesn't work out. Just try something new. Moving to marketing after PhD in neuroscience wasn't maybe to most obvious choice I soon found it a great choice and great solution for me especially nowadays when I work as a product management and biotech company where I can combine my research knowledge, my scientific skills combined with the marketing skills and try to communicate the product to the scientist which are our first customers, I find it  really cool I find it is a good reason to wake up in the morning and continue it.   And that is it for another episode of PhD Career Stories.

This week we talk with founder and CEO of the GLYD travel app, Monika Bhasin. She shares her deeply personal journey of loss, finding love and acceptance from within, and connecting the world through travel. Monika talks about how she came up with the concept of the GLYD travel app and the process to build and launch the app. She also talks about being raised by her grandmother in India, moving to the United States to live with her parents and the expectations that come with being a part of a traditional Indian family. This episode is a powerful one. Episode Highlights: How Monika went about the app building process, as a non-developer: Took classes to understand development Taught self a little bit of coding Used the internet and really immersed herself in the subject matters Important to be open to learning Biggest lessons she’s learned: You have to be passionate about what you are doing. You need this passion to help you persevere through the challenges. On the flip side, don’t be afraid to realize when you are no longer passionate about what you are doing. Don’t be afraid to take the leap of faith more than once. Believe in yourself. You are your strongest link and your weakest link. It’s you that takes this bus forward or backwards. You have to fail in order to succeed. Don’t be afraid you failed. But keeping moving forward. It takes a lot of courage to understand to admit to moments where you don’t feel good and make a change. About Monika Bhasin (in her own words) I'm Monika Bhasin, an avid barrier breaker.  Usually those barriers are within my mind, aka my invisible fence.  Being born a girl with dark skin, I was always frowned upon and somewhere inside me from a very young age, I felt the need to always do what I want.  I felt that if just by existing I was an inconvenience to people around me then there is no reason to listen to them, right? So began my life's journey.   I didn't live with my parents until I was 11/12 and to live with them I had to move to the US, a totally different country, culture, school system, FAMILY!  I was constantly pushed to be a doctor, the only profession that exists in my family's mind and most Indian people I know. That's the only thing I DIDN'T want to be, no surprise there!  However, the need to please my parents overtook me and although I didn't become a doctor, I did become a Scientist. After seeing that even that didn't please them, I set out to finally live my life.   I went from being a scientist to taking part in a year of Acting school, which gave me the opportunity to wait tables, work in insurance, retail, and everything else I didn't think existed since I grew up so sheltered.  Taking that bold step out from under my parents helped me meet my husband, and pursue a life that I absolutely love. I met my husband on a job I picked up while waiting tables and that's a story for another day. That pivotal step also set me out to end up where I am today, a Founder of a company setting out to connect the world through travel.   I love what I do and honestly, the problem I'm solving goes back to my roots.  I always wanted to feel like I belonged somewhere, that I was a part of something, that I was home..wherever that is.  With GLYD, when we travel, you can connect with locals so they can help you feel as if you are home wondering the streets of the world.  I hope you connect with me on GLYD (it’s free to download on GooglePlay or iOS) and share your part of the world with our GLYD community.

Hello from Bri @ Bri Books! Today's episode is a solo show. We still have 202 days left in 2018. Let's make it count by restoring margin and balance to our lives, shall we? Here are the ways I'm working to restore balance, and the podcasts hosted by women of color that are helping me along the way.  You can follow along with the conversation on Instagram and Twitter using #BriBooks. Subscribe to newsletter at bribookspod.com/newesletter. 00:57 - As of June 12,2018, we’ll have 202 days left in 2018. That means as much as we have behind us, we have ahead of us and more. 1:10 - If you still get that cringing falling part feeling, don’t worry, it just means you’re human. 1:30 - Before we go further, thanks for being here.

According to Pastor Darryl Dash, margin is “a little reserve that you’re not using up. You’re not stretched to the limit. You’re not going from one meeting to the next with no space between. Margin is the space between my load and my limit.” 1:57 - The only reason I know about margin because we had a sermon at The Journey Church about restoring balance and allowing God to restore balance. The concept of margin came up. 2:16 - It struck a nerve because I acknowledge that I, like most of us, am on overload. 2:20 - Let’s break down margins, think a piece of paper. The standard 1” margin would be setting a margin around your life, saying “Everything outside of this isn’t available.” 2:40 - Sometimes I live on the 0.2” margin, and I'll let procrastination/ anxiety stop me. 3:06 - When it comes to restoring margin, I get a little excited. To that end, I'll be sharing the ways I've been trying to restore margin to my own life, and a few of the podcasts that have been with me along the way. I’m gonna chat about it with a few podcasts I've been enjoying and have been crucial in helping me notice patterns when I Don't have margin, and make those non-negotiable. 3:36 - Nobody has to tell you how busy you are. We have the lists--we know the XYZ, and somewhere we’re supposed to fit in the ‘YOU’. 3:48 - Margin is basically breathing room. The sermon spoke to me, and I realized I was running on my own steam instead of the Lord’s, and I wasn’t focusing where I was supposed to focus. 4:07 - For me, that meant instead of focusing on one aspect of a project, I’m weighing all 10 aspects equally at the same time and weight, which means I'm waffling and moaning about the idea of doing instead of getting down to it. 4:30 - One of the 2 places I've started creating margin is when it comes to taking care of myself. I find margin in my life when I Devote time to caring for myself. 4:42 - I've mentioned before on this podcast that when my anxiety is in full swing, the first thing I Attack is my body. Here I Am, i’d fall asleep after a day of work, evening of volunteering, and i’d forget to brush my teeth, fall asleep with the lights on, wake up in the middle of the night to do what I should've done hours ago, because I Didn't have margin in my life for taking care of myself. 5:15 - “The Naked Beauty” podcast  really got through to me. It’s a podcast hosted by Brooke DeVard, and it’s “an unfiltered talk about beauty trends, tips and products” hosted by Brooke Devard. What Takeaway is that the bare minimum is not allowed. 5:40 - what I've learned from podcast is that when things go wrong, we can’t make ourselves optional. But finding margin and making myself not an option but a requirement--for me, that means setting a timer, 20 minutes Ican take care of everything skincare and oral hygiene. Setting that timer and making it a non-negotiable has helped me to restore margin and take care of myself. Here’s a link to the podcast. I can give that to myself at least every day. Building that margin in and making it a non-negotiable has helped me restore a sense of balance to my own life. 6:40 - The other way I've restored margin is by giving myself a little bit of a break on my calendar. Does this sound like you? 6:50 - you have a regular commitment then there are the one-off engagements, and a host of appointments. And your life admin. Maybe you only have 3 prime hours in the evening and morning around a work or school schedule. So when my schedule’s out of whack and I'm too busy to recharge let alone do the work I'm supposed to do, I realize there’s a cliff for me. I find myself beyond my margin, limit and load when I'm not impeccable with my word. 7:35 - The “Side Hustle Pro” podcast episode hosted by Nicaila Matthews Okome featuring Charreah Jackson got me thinking about being impeccable with my word. “Side Hustle Pro” is a podcast that helps creative entrepreneurs grow their passions into money makers. Listening to the most recent episode featuring Charreah Jackson hustle pro restores the reality that we control our time and we control the projects we want to give energy to. Choosing one over the other doesn't mean you can’t accomplish both. It’s just a decision about where you choose to put your energy. 8:25 - What I love about the conversation featuring “Boss Bride” author Charreah Jackson is that it reminded me of the old adage Ilove--you can do everything, just not at the same time. Charreah understand sand has devoted her time to helping people understand what they can do, so they can do something else. I can’t wait to read Charreah’s book! 8:52 9 - those are the two ways I'm restoring margin: Establishing it taking care of myself, and in my calendar. Establishing these margins now while we still have 202 days left is so important to me. I feel like I've feel what it feels like to live outside of these margins, what it feels like to NOT make time for myself, so we’re not always going past our margins and loads. 9:50 - I've had a good time recording this episode. I can’t wait to read together for July, “Boss Bride: The Powerful Woman’s Playbook for Love and Success” by Charreah Jackson.

Earlier this year, I spent a month in Portland, Oregon. I’ve always loved my brief stops through there on tour, but never felt like I had enough time to, well, let’s be honest EAT. Portland has some AMAZING food, but what I DIDN’T know is that they also have some amazing, wait for it… PINBALL. Yep. Pinball- the game with the flippers and the silver ball. I LOVED pinball growing up and so now, anytime I find a working pinball machine, I have to drop a couple of quarters in and play. What I DIDN’T know is just how deep this pinball thing goes. I began to get curious about all things pinball upon returning home to Nashville, and ended up meeting Seth Steele, cofounder of the Nashville Pinball League, and owner of some 20-odd pinball machines. I thought he’d be the perfect person to offer a window into the obsession that is PINBALL.

Our firsts always hold a special place in our hearts. Your first kiss. Your first time driving. The first time you got to stay up past your bedtime. Your first, you know... the first time seeing Star Wars. Firsts make a lasting imprint that we just...can’t...seem...to shake. Today on the show we look at "first times" as they relate to filmmaking and seen through the metaphor of love. We'll hear from various filmmakers about their respective "first times" falling in love with cinema and filmmaking. We'll also hear the story about my filmmaking first and how it lead to me becoming enamored with the craft. Also, the “Gayle” to my “Oprah”; the “Fresh Prince” to my “Carlton” is back for another round of “How to be a Black Filmmaker in the 90s.” JD Cochran and I have an insightful conversation regarding my very first scripted short film, including how I DIDN’T pick two actors who have gone on to star in big TV shows. It’s a story about going with your gut as an artist.Finally, after the credits we have another bonus segment that may crack you up.This episode is sponsored by Song Freedom.

Stone cold sober, I converse with a friend who subscribes to the theory(ies) of a multiverse...every choice we make resulting a new branch of an infinite set of universes parallel to the one in which we consciously exist. Is there really another me out there somewhere, living a life in which I DIDN'T do that stupid thing last week?Our convo was most definitely NOT very scientific, while the theories certainly are. To do them justice, check out some of these sources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiversehttp://science.howstuffworks.com/dictionary/physics-terms/parallel-universe-sources.htmhttp://www.mnn.com/green-tech/research-innovations/stories/parallel-worlds-exist-and-interact-with-our-world-sayRecorded October 7th, 2015Music: Hazardous - Light

"The Lent Laboratory" gave me a new way to see this ancient season of the Church. One thing I learned was how much I DIDN'T see, even when facts were right in front of me. I also pondered one of the most amazing things Jesus said, when he talked about the things he could NOT do by himself.

  My guests are Gariana Abeyta, projectionist at the ArcLight Cinema and the Silent Movie Theatre, (@garianaabeyta on twitter) and twitter monster Alison Agosti (@Just_Alison on twitter). This show is a little GRAPHIC. It is not Gariana’s fault. It’s Alison’s fault. And… my own. This is an admittedly weird ep. I kinda love it. Not even kinda.   BTW: THE DOORBELL RANG… at 5:35ish… you hear the doorbell ring, I say, “I never do this… I’m going to PAUSE the show” and then… I DIDN’T hit record again and it’s 20 minutes later when I realize. THEN... BONUS: you hear Patrick Brady with the explanation! He's GREAT. Let's all admit it. Also, In this ep, I prove again that I still don’t know who anyone is.     – this is “the man’s” version (or you could see )   – sheriff (there’s “”) Yeah. It does look fantastic. – streaming on Netflix Placenta Hippie eating thing – I thought about linking it … you can Google if you want cuz it’s too graphic already. 15 min of taping… I pour coffee loud, Gariana stirs too loud. M. Night Shyamalan – is from India has control over his bodily functions. – watch Xbox – – Alison’s old podcast that you can listen to lots!   My show schedules, videos of my stand up, Ranger T-shirts, the CD page, the donation button are all on the websites: and and probably the facebook fan page.   Do you live in Seattle?

We begin with the common discussion on referees rigging games, although now with a bit more evidence to back us up. We bestow a little more help on Mr. Wizzard.  We talk a little bit about M Knight Shamalan. Yes, I know I spelled that wrong. No, I Didn't look it up.  If you want your name spelled right, get a good American name like Smith or Ramirez.
