Illuminating the world

"Feelings fully felt is bliss." "Breath is always free." "Self-augmentation is the key."   Episode summary | In this episode of the Return on Generosity podcast, host Shannon Cassidy speaks with Jason Henkel, founder of Focus to Evolve, about achieving balance and productivity without burnout. Jason shares his journey from a hectic corporate life to discovering the importance of self-management and centeredness. He emphasizes the need for leaders to create high-performance teams and the role of architectural calendaring in productivity. The conversation also explores the potential of AI in augmenting thought processes and the unique strengths of individuals with ADHD. Ultimately, Jason advocates for a shift in workplace culture towards generosity and self-care, encouraging listeners to redefine productivity and prioritize their well-being.   R.O.G. Takeaway Tips | Self-management needs to come before time management. The hustle culture is outdated; balance is key to thriving. Feelings fully felt lead to a blissful life experience. Creating a centered atmosphere can positively influence teams. Architectural calendaring helps in organizing tasks effectively. Deep immersion sessions can unlock higher productivity levels. AI can be used for thought augmentation and identifying blind spots. ADHD can be harnessed as a superpower when managed well. Generosity towards oneself is crucial for personal growth. Redefining productivity involves focusing on meaningful outcomes rather than busyness.   Chapters |  00:00 Introduction to Balanced Thriving 03:09 Jason's Journey from Corporate Hustle to Balance 06:06 The Importance of Self-Management 09:16 Illuminating a Path to Meaningful Output 12:04 The Power of Stillness and Centeredness 14:56 Creating a High-Performance Team Environment 17:48 Architectural Calendaring for Productivity 20:42 Deep Immersion in Balanced Thriving 23:47 Harnessing Flow State for Enhanced Focus 26:42 Managing Distractions in a Digital World 29:42 Leveraging AI for Self-Augmentation 30:09 Exploring Blind Spots and Self-Awareness 30:37 Augmenting Thought and Learning with AI 33:00 The Future of Work and AI's Role 34:31 Shifts for Enhanced Productivity 36:53 The Importance of Boundaries and Self-Care 38:24 Redefining Busy: From Frenetic to Deliberate 40:43 Creating Evolved Workplace Cultures 43:11 Return on Generosity: Redefining Success 50:00 Unlearning and Embracing Authenticity   Guest Bio | Jason Henkel is a speaker, mindfulness coach, and the founder of Focus to Evolve, a company dedicated to helping individuals and teams increase clarity, productivity, and presence in both work and life.

Ep. 180 (Part 2 of 2) | In this podcast, John Prendergast, spiritual teacher, depth psychotherapist (retired), and prolific author, eloquently lays out the territory we encounter on the spiritual path as we move towards opening to our deepest ground. John defines deepest ground as “ungraspable and unfathomable, something we can know intimately as a quality of awareness, unbounded and open.” “When we touch into this,” he continues, “we move from a place of love, peace and groundedness.” In working with students and clients over four decades, John says the presence or absence of ground has been the most important theme. John has a gift for communicating exactly what is most useful for a spiritual practitioner to hear: taking an integral and nondual approach different from traditional psychotherapy, he invites us to evoke presence—welcome the experience, welcome the fear of annihilation—let go of ordinary knowledge and allow a translucent, transformative space to emerge around ordinary mind. Blending archetypal wisdom and guidance with spacious emptiness, John explains that opening to unbounded awareness supports the process of individuation and actualization; he also weaves in an intriguing version of the hero's journey, where the hero emerges from the underground, not as a figure of accomplishment and victory, but as a simple, humble being, void of ego. The rich wisdom and gentle guidance offered here is invaluable, worthy of listening to many a time.

Send us a textThis episode of Light Up Your Worth explores the intersection of financial independence and personal growth with guest Penny Rose, a former forensic accountant turned tax strategist for creators and coaches. The discussion covers key topics for entrepreneurs, including the "Triangle of Freedom" (balancing financial, time, and location independence), transitioning from a traditional job to self-employment, and essential tax strategies for small business owners. Penny shares valuable insights on setting up a strong financial foundation, emphasizing the importance of understanding one's numbers and planning for taxes from the start. The conversation also touches on the challenges and considerations of running a location-independent business, particularly regarding state taxes. Memorable quotes from the episode include:"Knowledge is power. Many of us are afraid to look at our numbers, but you're not able to make the best decisions possible for your own finances if you're afraid to look at your credit card statement or your tax return.""Habits I developed when I had a very small business continue. Because once you get the process set up, and you start doing it, it doesn't matter. You could hundred X your revenue and hopefully not a hundred X your expenses." This discussion relates to the Light Up Your Worth podcast title by empowering midlife women to take control of their financial futures as part of their personal development journey. It encourages listeners to face their financial fears, understand their worth in monetary terms, and make informed decisions about their businesses and lifestyles. The episode illuminates the path to financial independence and location freedom, aligning with the holistic and spiritual mindset of the target audience by showing how practical financial knowledge can support overall life goals and personal growth.Connect with Penny:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mamapreneur_moneypro Thank you for tuning into another illuminating episode of Light Up Your Worth.

On Being is back on April 16, with a special season tethered in the persistent beauty and courage of what it can mean to be human — six conversations Krista has had out in the world in recent months, followed by an experimental, seven-week reflection/action experience— Hope, Imagination, and Remaking the World — to undertake with others in your life. From singer-songwriter Bon Iver (Justin Vernon) to Mohawk elder Katsi Cook to writer Jason Reynolds. Illuminating our lives of love and our lives with the news and our lives of prayer. Befriending across generations and taking in the trauma of the other. All together, an offering towards the questions we're living on every place on the spectrum of our life together: How do we stand with calm and agency and accompaniment before the gravity of this time. How do we keep body and soul together as we do so? Sign yourself and others up for our mailing list and monthly newsletter, The Pause, to be the first to know when each new episode drops.______The Pause — a monthly Saturday morning companion to all things On Being, with heads-up on new episodes, special offerings, event invitations, recommendations, and reflections from Krista all year round. 

We all know about the “shoulds”, but what about the “coulds”? In this episode we reflect on this sneaky feeling of always feeling “behind” despite logically knowing that time is just a construct. We realize what's actually happening is this feeling of lost potential and disappointment of not getting as much done as we wanted to. Which leads us to explore how we are already shedding the “shoulds” but what about the “coulds”? The “I could be doing more”, “I could be working on this”, “I could've spent my time getting this done” etc. As always we weave in our embodied and somatic perspectives into the conversation, and dissect the word ambition–what it actually means and how it's been tainted by boss babe hustle culture. The conversation beautifully gives a glimpse of the essence of living our values and integrity, balancing external pressures, and embracing authenticity in business and invites you to do the same. Thanks so much for hanging out with us, if you enjoy these episodes please share them with a friend, leave a review wherever you're listening from, and come on over to instagram to continue the conversation..Connect with Nicole on IG (@nicolepasveer) Connect with Lauren on IG (@nestandnourish) .We also invite you to join our upcoming free class + conversation: RECLAIM THE ART OF HOLDING SPACE for Mother-Serving Professionals Who Are Ready Disrupt the Norms of Mother Care, Without Sacrificing Integrity, Connection and Depth.

Illuminating the Inner Landscape: Eastern Wisdom for Mental TransformationAre you struggling with feelings of being trapped in cycles of mental and emotional suffering without understanding why? Do you sense there's untapped potential within you, yet can't seem to access it? This illuminating lecture may hold the key to your transformation.In this podcast episode, we discuss how ancient Indian philosophical systems—Sāmkhya, Vedānta, Yoga, and Tantra—serve as powerful maps of consciousness, maps of wholeness, that can revolutionize your approach to mental health and personal growth.The episode describes why most people remain unconscious of their inner world and how this lack of self-awareness creates the greatest obstacle to healing. You will learn how these timeless wisdom traditions break down overwhelming mental challenges into manageable components and provide structured pathways to recognize your true nature beyond suffering.This lecture reveals why many people find it easier to identify with their limitations than their strengths, trapped in what Jung called the "dark shadow" while resisting their "golden shadow" of inherent wisdom, creativity, and resilience. Through the lens of Eastern philosophy, you'll understand how transformation occurs not by eliminating your darker aspects, but by reclaiming your disowned strengths.You'll gain insight into:How Sāmkhya provides the vertical structure of existence, revealing the organization of your mindWhy Vedānta's five koshas (sheaths) offer crucial depth perception for targeted healingThe practical wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita for everyday mental wellbeingHow Patanjali's Yoga creates a methodical path toward inner liberationTantra's powerful energetic techniques for tangible transformationThis episode introduces our comprehensive Yoga of Mental Health Workshop Series, a four-part exploration integrating ancient yogic wisdom with modern psychological insights. Each workshop includes teaching lectures, guided meditations, and interactive Q&A sessions and comes with a CPE certificate upon completion. All participants receive 24/7 online access to recordings and resources after each live event.Begin your journey from darkness to light, from unconsciousness to self-awareness, and discover the extraordinary healing potential that has always existed within you.

This week, we’re joined by Nikki Walton, host of GoOD fMornings with CurlyNikki and an influential voice in personal transformation, who shares her struggles with self-esteem and identity as a young woman to achieving massive success through her groundbreaking platform, CurlyNikki.com. Nikki's life was filled with accomplishments—but also a profound sense of emptiness. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from Tori Hope Petersen, an author, speaker, and podcaster. After enduring twelve different homes in the foster care system, Tori aged out without a permanent family. Through the kindness of a foster mom who introduced her to faith, the guidance of a track coach who became a father figure, and her own unwavering determination, Tori rose above her circumstances to find meaning and mission for her life.

There was still this void. I had not found God and I didn't even know that that's what I was looking for.” - Nikki Walton “I love myself and it's not in that superficial, surface-level love. It's like I went from outer beauty to inner beauty to beyond beauty entirely, and I appear beautiful to some because of His light shining through me.” - Nikki Walton “I listen not for [God’s] voice booming, but for His silence, for His stillness, for His peace, And then I feel His stillness. I feel His peace. I know I'm in contact with Him when I feel lighter.” - Nikki Walton “You can still be aware of that humbled nature, that humbled posture inside. That way, when you go out into the world, even though you are smiling and walking upright, you're still bowing to Jesus everywhere you go.” - Nikki Walton “I had to learn through time that God doesn't just save us, He keeps us.” - Toire Hope Petersen “I do think that God speaks to us in the way that we can understand how to do what's next.” - Tori Hope Petersen “Our brokenness does not just point to the deficit in us. Sometimes our brokenness points to the disciples that we are, points to our faithfulness.” - Tori Hope Petersen “God does not hate you and He doesn't want you to hate yourself. He wants you to embrace who He has called you to be, because when we do that, we can walk out the calling that God has placed on our life. God did a good job making you and you’re allowed to be loved.” - Tori Hope Petersen “God is just so glad when we show up to be in His presence and to pray. He just welcomes me with open arms. He is our safe place.” - Tori Hope Petersen ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

"It's very rare for a person to just be one thing. Most issues, most things that matter, are not so black and white." – Debbie LevyWe all want to believe in heroes and villains, right and wrong, and clear-cut answers. But history and life are rarely that simple. Debbie Levy has spent her career exploring the gray areas, challenging readers to see multiple perspectives and embrace complexity. A former lawyer, journalist, and now award-winning children's author, Debbie has written books like “I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark,” “The Year of Goodbyes,” and “A Dangerous Idea: The Scopes Trial, the Original Fight Over Science in Schools.” Her work invites readers to think critically, recognize misinformation, and understand that even those we disagree with are still human.   In this episode, We Contain Multitudes: Debbie Levy on the Dangers of Reductionist Thinking, Debbie reflects on what rabbis and Supreme Court justices have in common, why she's optimistic about students' ability to deal with disinformation, and how books can help kids hold space for complexity. Plus, a book so sad it was sold with tissues in it, a surprising childhood obsession with Superman, and why her mom taught her that being too good wasn't always a good thing. We also have a special hidden track at the end of the show. Debbie reflected on our conversation and shared a special story about her dad's unbelievable but real wartime experience that we saved for the very end.Tune in for an episode that will make you re-think your perspectives and let you settle into some delightful storytime moments!***Jewish identities vary across families, experiences, places, and so much more.

From deer and beavers to “free range” pigs and goats in and around Seneca Village, what we now know as Central Park has long been home to an abundance of animals. In 1858, the city adopted the Greensward Plan and began the long process of reshaping the 843 acres of land into a park where everything—from the trees to the trails to the inhabitants—would be meticulously planned to benefit New Yorkers and to promote the city as a global metropolis among the likes of London and Paris. But this vision of Central Park embodied white elite European values, and disagreements about which creatures belonged in the park's waters and green spaces have often perpetuated systems of oppression. Illuminating the multispecies story of Central Park from the 1850s to the 1970s in Animating Central Park: A Multispecies History (University of Washington Press, 2024), Dr. Dawn Day Biehler examines the vibrant and intimately connected lives of humans and nonhuman animals in the park. She reveals stories of grazing sheep, teeming fish, nesting swans, migrating warblers, and escaped bison as well as human New Yorkers' attempts to reconfigure their relationships to the land and claim spaces for recreation and leisure. Ultimately, Dr. Biehler shows how Central Park has always been a place where animals and humans alike have vied for power and belonging. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Medieval women ruled over kingdoms, abbeys, and households; produced stunning works of art and craft; and did the hard work that kept ordinary families fed and clothed. Though women's contributions were often diminished or completely ignored in written accounts, art tells a different story: women appear everywhere, from the margins of illuminated manuscripts to grand tapestries. In Women in the Middle Ages: Illuminating the World of Peasants, Nuns, and Queens (Abbeville Press, 2024), historian Gemma Hollman uses the visual as well as the written record to uncover the real lives of medieval European women. Hollman traces the lives of women across society, dedicating chapters to nuns like Hildegard of Bingen, abbess, mystic, and polymath; courtiers like Christine de Pisan, author of pioneering works on women's role in society; warriors like Joan of Arc; and the everyday women whose names are lost to history. Illustrated with nearly 200 varied and fascinating works of medieval art, Women in the Middle Ages offers a new perspective on the lives and contributions of medieval women and how they were portrayed. This book is a treasure for anyone interested in the Middle Ages or women's history.

This week's episode is a conversation with accomplished artist and scholar-practitioner Christian de Vietri about his journey from the contemporary art world to the study and practice of Tantric sacred art. Christian, known for his large-scale public installations and fine art, shares how he came to know and practice non-dual Shaiva Tantra, how this transformed his approach to artistic expression, and how it led to the publication of his groundbreaking book, Trika Maṇḍala Prakāśa: Illuminating the Mandalas of Abhinavagupta's Tantrāloka—the first detailed and comprehensive study of all the mandalas presented and taught in Abhinavagupta's Tantrāloka. The conversation explores the process of reconstructing these mandalas, including the challenges of decoding encoded texts, the significance of mandalas in Tantric initiation, and the precise methodologies required to ensure their correct construction. Christian describes the artistic and spiritual insights that emerged through this work and reflects on the broader role of sacred art in preserving and transmitting the wisdom of the tradition.Discover a treasure trove of guided meditations, teachings, and courses at tantrailluminated.org.
