Mark Rampolla is a visionary entrepreneur who founded ZICO Coconut Water, pioneering the now multi-billion-dollar coconut water category in the U.S. and globally. He took ZICO from startup to a $200 million acquisition by Coca-Cola, before later leading a buy-back of the brand. Mark's investment firm, GroundForce Capital, backs purpose-driven consumer companies focused on health, wellness, and sustainability. His latest book, An Entrepreneur's Guide to Freedom, dives deep into the limiting beliefs and inner work necessary for both wealth creation and personal liberation. On this episode we talk about: Mark's early work and career journey, from dishwashing in Pittsburgh to Peace Corps volunteer in Costa Rica, then a pivot from corporate roles to entrepreneurship Lessons from failure: Why Mark built a “cemetery” for lost investments and business attempts—and how mourning and learning from failure is essential in entrepreneurship The real risk and emotional journey of launching ZICO, enduring years on the edge of bankruptcy, and aligning with his family to manage risk The breakthrough that came from honing a niche “beachhead” market strategy—targeting hot yoga practitioners in NYC and expanding from there What large brands and acquirers look for in fast-growth consumer companies, and why velocity and loyalty in a core market often matter more than national reach Mark's best advice: Freedom and success start with inner work—addressing limiting beliefs, ownership over failures, and taking full responsibility for your outcomes Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Monumental brand growth comes from relentless niche focus, customer intimacy, and resisting the urge to expand too broadly, too soon.2.  The path to entrepreneurial freedom starts with self-awareness, emotional resilience, and the capacity to mourn losses without getting stuck.3.  When facing risk, build a realistic plan B with your family—optimism helps, but full financial and emotional transparency is vital for long-term success. Notable Quotes “We mourn failures for a reason—if you don't process and ritualize loss, it will haunt future decisions.” “Velocity in your best market beats scale in many—Coca-Cola wanted ZICO for how it dominated its niche, not just national shelf space.” “Freedom starts and ends inside—you'll only reach it externally when you break limiting beliefs and take full responsibility.” Connect with Mark Rampolla: Official website and book: markrampolla.co ✖️✖️✖️✖️

✨ So often, we move through our days carrying feelings we haven't had time to notice. When our feelings go unacknowledged, they don't disappear… they linger in the body, showing up as stress, tension, and a sense of being disconnected from ourselves. In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I guide you through a Daily Emotional Reset. It's a soothing somatic practice to gently check in with yourself, shift your emotional state, and calm your nervous system. Think of it as daily tending: a compassionate reset that gives your emotions the care they've been asking for. This practice combines soothing self-touch with the simple but powerful act of naming what you feel (inspired by a process called Transpirational Havening). Together, these tools help quiet the amygdala, soften emotional intensity, and open space for more clarity and compassion. If you've been longing for a simple, supportive way to feel calmer, clearer, and more connected to yourself, this episode is for you.

Episode 95 blends love, truth, and adrenaline. Listeners are treated to the heartwarming TOprosal, a sharp take on farmers facing tariff fallout, and a gripping interview with Darren Ault on the toxic realities of youth sports. It all wraps with TOphoria Costa Rican adventures and joyful wedding planning. This is Daves Head Podcast at its best.

In this episode, we sit with Mars Hendrik, a musician and coach whose journey from Costa Rica to international stages is really a story about learning to climb — not just toward success, but toward the fullest expression of who you're meant to be.Mars grew up immersed in a rich blend of musical influences, from Santana's guitar mastery to Sublime's laid-back rebellion, and these early sounds became the foundation for a career that spans over a decade of inspiring audiences across continents. But what makes Mars's story unique isn't just his musical evolution — it's his understanding that true performance is about more than entertainment. It's about transformation.We explore how Mars has learned to be both artist and guide, helping others find their own voices while continuing to develop his own. His approach to music and coaching reveals someone who understands that potential isn't just waiting to be discovered — it's waiting to be claimed, one courageous step at a time.What We Talk About:Growing up in Costa Rica and the musical influences that shaped his artistic foundationThe evolution from passionate musician to international performerHow cultural diversity influences creative expression and artistic identityThe intersection of music and personal developmentLearning to guide others while continuing your own growth journeyThe role of music in helping people connect with their potentialBuilding confidence through creative expression and performanceResources:Connect with Mars Hendrik's music: HERESupport the show: Not Today MediaA Note from J.D.: Mars's conversation reminded me that some of the most powerful artists are those who understand that their gift isn't just about what they can create — it's about what they can awaken in others. His approach to music as both personal expression and collective inspiration feels especially relevant in a world hungry for authentic connection and guided growth.If you're on your own creative climb, whether that's musical, professional, or personal, I hope Mars's story offers you both inspiration and practical wisdom. The summit you're reaching for isn't just about arriving somewhere new — it's about becoming someone new in the process.Come Back To Earth exists to explore these intersections between creativity, personal growth, and the ongoing work of becoming who we're meant to be. If these conversations resonate with you, consider supporting the show on Substack, where we continue diving deep into the stories that shape us.Keep climbing. Keep creating. Keep trusting the path.Theme music by: Lincoln Parish

Seated in the Osa Peninsula of Costa Rica is Finca Ganadito, an eco-living space committed to regenerative agriculture and increasing biodiversity. But their work doesn't stop with the birds and soil — it extends to the seas, with impressive efforts to protect sea turtles. Rob "Tortugo" — known locally as the “sea turtle man” — is a key player in these green efforts. With a background in biology, he'll lead us through sea turtle fact and folklore in an exploration of sea turtle evolution, their complicated dance with the climate crisis, and mysterious “lost years.” With 80% of sea turtles lost in the last 40 years, this important conversation shares the reasons behind their decline and what you can do to protect sea turtles from anywhere in the world.

I had the pleasure of hosting one of the most extraordinary guests I've ever had on Chatter That Matters during the 80th sessions of the United Nations Assembly happening in New York. My guest is someone who has made a powerful and positive impact on our universe: Dr. Oscar Arias, a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and two-time President of Costa Rica.  Oscar takes us back to a time when Central America was on fire, civil wars raged, and the United States and the Soviet Union armed opposing sides.  The region was drowning in ideology, bloodshed, and fear.   Then came Oscar Arias, the newly elected President of Costa Rica, a nation that had disbanded their military decades before. While others escalated the violence, Arias chose defiance. He stared down Ronald Reagan, had U.S.-backed rebels expelled from Costa Rican soil, rejected global pressure, and authored the Arias Peace Plan. This bold diplomatic initiative helped bring five nations to the table and bring an end to years of war. Oscar Arias didn't just defy world leaders; he defied the odds and changed the course of history. In 1987, Arias was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. But he didn't stop there. Through the Arias Foundation for Peace & Human Progress, he helped spark the UN Arms Trade Treaty—the first legally binding agreement to regulate the global weapons trade. And now, in his 80s, Oscar Arias is on another peace mission. To build a Global Peace Museum in Costa Rica. A place to remind the world that peace isn't idealistic, it's possible, if given a chance.   (And for history buffs, you will be mesmerized by the stories of how Oscar Arias encountered and, over time, built extraordinary relationships with Reagan, Bush, Thatcher, Gorbachev, Castro, Mulroney, the Pope and many more.)

La esperada encuesta del Centro de Investigación y Estudios Políticos de la Universidad de Costa Rica, nos sirve como un primer termómetro riguroso de la campaña electoral 2026. Este estudio científico social, representativo de las opiniones de la ciudadanía costarricense, nos permite conocer no solo el nivel de aprobación y popularidad del presidente Rodrigo Chaves a solo nueve meses de concluir su mandato, sino -muy especialmente- las preferencias electorales de esta radiografía del momento, entre las candidaturas que hasta ahora han oficializado su aspiración de hacerse con la presidencia de la República para el ejercicio 2026-2030. Con Ronald Alfaro, coordinador del CIEP-UCR lo analizamos en Hablando Claro.

El más reciente estudio del CIEP (dado a conocer ayer) refleja una ciudadanía confundida, frustrada y desinformada. Aprueba al Gobierno, pero no quiere su continuidad; pide un cambio, pero no encuentra a quién dárselo; nombra los problemas, pero no visualiza soluciones. En general, la fotografía que tomó el CIEP es incómoda y da cuenta de una democracia desgastada, en piloto automático y sin rumbo claro. Evidencia, también, las carencias educativas que acarreamos. Sin ir muy lejos: uno de cada 14 ciudadanos cree que puede votar por Chaves, lo que evidencia un nivel crítico de desinformación básica sobre las reglas del sistema democrático.

In this episode of Dear Goddess, I'm pulling back the curtain on my move from Bali to Costa Rica, not just the flights, boxes, and logistics, but the soul journey that brought me here.

Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified! All throughout September, we're diving into classroom lessons, one of my favorite tier 1 interventions. While some schools provide ready-made lessons, there are many times you'll need to design and plan them yourself. That's why I'm excited to share tips on how to schedule, plan, and teach effective lessons. These strategies come straight from my Stress-Free Class Lessons Course, a five-module resource designed to help you feel confident and prepared. In today's episode, we're continuing the conversation by focusing on planning your counseling lessons—deciding what to teach and how to teach it. This is a sneak peek into Module 2 of my course. Here's what you'll learn: Planning lessons for the year: how to select topics, incorporate seasonal and school-wide themes, and repurpose content across grade levels. Using the calendar: align lessons with holidays, seasons, or events (for example, starting the year with a “Meet the Counselor” lesson, or teaching about kindness and friendship around Valentine's Day). Referencing data and needs: review referrals, attendance data, and input from administrators to identify student challenges and plan preventative lessons. Combining curriculum resources: integrate any curriculum your school provides with your own lessons to fill in gaps. Book-based lessons: choose books with strong themes and build lessons around them, while ensuring teachers have access to reinforce concepts. We'll also talk about offering “as-needed” lessons when extra support is required, such as teaching a cybersafety lesson to a class that needed immediate guidance beyond their regular schedule. And here's a planning tip: Don't reinvent the wheel. You can easily adapt lessons to make them developmentally appropriate across different grade levels. Your action steps: Write down monthly events you'd like to align lessons with Review discipline referrals and student data Prepare your needs assessment Find out if your school provides a curriculum Research books you might want to use in future lessons Resources Mentioned: Join IMPACT stressfreeschoolcounseling.com/classlessons Connect with Rachel: TpT Store Blog Instagram Facebook Page Facebook Group Pinterest Youtube   More About School Counseling Simplified: School Counseling Simplified is a podcast offering easy to implement strategies for busy school counselors.

On todays Show James, Dwayne, and Josh talk about touched on legal strategies, such as questioning the conditions under which psychological tests were administered. The conversation shifted to current events, including the U.S. military's rebranding to the Department of War, the sinking of a drug-trafficking boat, and the impact of welfare on societal dynamics. They debated the effectiveness of welfare, the importance of stress in human development, and the implications of changing military policies. The discussion also included personal anecdotes and historical references. The discussion centered on the U.S. Navy's interception of a drug-trafficking boat in international waters, highlighting Venezuela's role in the drug trade. The boat was headed for a Caribbean island, likely Dominican Republic or Costa Rica, before reaching the U.S. The conversation also touched on the political implications of Trump's actions, including his alleged role in informing the FBI about Epstein's misconduct and the raid on a Hyundai plant in Georgia, revealing 500 illegal workers. Additionally, the group discussed Florida's decision to allow parents to veto vaccines for their children, reflecting on libertarian principles. Don't miss It!

Today we have David. He is 51 years old, lives in Pinson, TN and took his last drink of alcohol on December 23rd, 2024.   This episode brought to you by: Better Help – 10% off of your first month #sponsored Exact Nature – 20% off your order with code RE20   We have a great lineup of events and courses coming to Recovery Elevator. A mindfulness course is coming up in October, then Dry January as well as a beginner ukelele course are happening in January. In February we have our first AF Songwriting course and later in the month our weeklong sober travel trip to Costa Rica.   [03:11] Thoughts from Paul:   In today's intro Paul shares with us some statements he heard from Steven Glover (aka Steve-O from Jackass) who celebrates 17 years in recovery this year. Steve-O said that alcoholics are in a sense lucky because unlike other diseases where the best one can hope for is to return to a pre-illness state, when addicts and alcoholics treat their disease, they have the potential to become better versions of themselves.   In Paul's upcoming book Dolce Vita, he makes the point that addiction is almost a biological mechanism to help wake us up as humans. On the other side of the addiction, if we are to heal, then we have to build a life that is more oriented towards helping others, where we are to be more authentic and where we are to admit when we are wrong in life.   One of the biggest mistakes that people make when they quit drinking is they just quit drinking. Although this is a huge step in the right direction, if this is all you do it leads to the concept of being a dry drunk. You need to address the reasons you drank to excess in the first place.   By listening to a sobriety podcast, you are doing the work. You're investing in your recovery, and you are not a dry drunk. Your potential of becoming better than before is becoming a reality. And what wonderful timing you have as the world needs your honesty, your authenticity, your smile and your service more than ever.   [08:16] Paul introduces David:   David is 51 years old and was born and raised in West Tennessee. He has three adult children with his wife of 31 years. For work, he manages a manufacturing facility and for fun he is a lifelong musician and also enjoys genealogy and cemetery preservation.   David is the youngest of four children. He says his mother was a teetotaler and his father had a drinking problem, but it had tapered down a lot by the time David came along. David says he was raised in the country and had a small group of friends that his mother would say weren't the best influences, and David was more of a follower than a leader and he and his friends would experiment with alcohol when he was younger.   When David was 18, he met his wife. They got married in David's early twenties and began having kids. At this point, David didn't drink often, and his wife didn't drink at all. It wasn't until their thirties that they would start having the occasional bottle of wine in the house.   In his late thirties, the drinking began ramping up. David began to have a regular music gig that was 45 minutes from home. He began going to have dinner and beers before the gig and over time started going out again after the gigs as well. He began drinking more on the weekends and that eventually crept into every day while isolating.   After some negative health reports in 2019, David began to try and address his drinking and says it was like a hamster wheel. By 2021, he knew he wanted to pursue an alcohol-free life and shared this with his wife, who has been very supportive of him.   Since his last drink in 2024, David says all of his relationships have improved, his bass playing has improved, and he started college last year and will be graduating soon. David is looking forward to continuing his personal growth, learning to meditate and travel.   Recovery Elevator You took the elevator down, you gotta take the stairs back up.

In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin speaks with Jonny Miller, founder of Nervous System Mastery and host of the Curious Humans podcast. Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-320/?ref=278  Jonny shares how the loss of his fiancée led him into grief work, psychedelics, and the study of stress physiology. Their conversation explores the three pillars of nervous system mastery—interoception, capacity, and emotional fluidity—and how these skills can prepare and support deeper psychedelic experiences. Jonny also reflects on the risks of hypoarousal and dissociation in psychedelic and breathwork practices, the role of relational health in nervous system regulation, and how high performers can shift from burnout-driven “dirty fuel” toward cleaner sources of creativity and joy. Jonny Miller is the founder of Nervous System Mastery, a five-week experiential training that helps high performers cultivate calm, resilience, and embodied aliveness.

This Day in Legal History: Ford Grants Nixon PardonOn September 8, 1974, President Gerald R. Ford granted a full and unconditional pardon to former President Richard M. Nixon for any crimes he may have committed while in office, specifically those related to the Watergate scandal. The announcement came just one month after Nixon resigned in disgrace, becoming the first U.S. president to do so. Ford, who had only recently assumed the presidency, delivered the pardon via a televised address, explaining that he hoped to heal the nation's wounds and end the "long national nightmare." The decision was met with swift and widespread controversy.Critics accused Ford of striking a backroom deal with Nixon—trading the presidency for a guarantee of legal immunity. The move damaged Ford's credibility and likely contributed to his loss in the 1976 presidential election. Supporters, however, argued that the pardon was necessary to move the country forward and prevent a divisive, prolonged legal spectacle. Legally, the pardon was grounded in Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, which grants the president broad clemency powers for federal offenses. Importantly, Nixon had not been formally charged at the time of the pardon, making it a preemptive act.The pardon set a precedent for the scope of presidential pardon powers, later cited in legal arguments involving other controversial figures. It also fueled lasting debates about executive accountability and the limits of legal immunity for high-ranking officials. Public opinion at the time was largely against the decision, but historical reassessment has yielded more nuanced views. Ford later received the Profile in Courage Award in 2001 for the pardon, which some historians came to see as a politically costly but morally principled decision. The moment remains a defining one in the legal and political legacy of both Nixon and Ford.Luigi Mangione, accused of murdering UnitedHealth Group executive Brian Thompson, argued in a court filing that federal prosecutors unfairly prejudiced potential jurors by linking him to a separate mass shooting. Prosecutors had previously claimed Mangione inspired Shane Tamura, who killed four people and himself at the offices of Blackstone and the NFL. Mangione's attorneys countered that there is no evidence Tamura was influenced by either Mangione or his anti-health-insurance-industry writings. They accused the government of deliberately trying to bias jurors and undermine Mangione's right to a fair trial.The government cited Tamura in response to Mangione's request for more details on what prosecutors might argue during a potential capital sentencing phase. Prosecutors claimed that Mangione's alleged ability to inspire vigilante violence demonstrates his dangerousness and supports their pursuit of the death penalty. However, Mangione rejected any link to Tamura and called the connection politically motivated. His legal team reiterated its demand for more information on the government's death penalty theory. U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett will determine whether the prosecution must share additional details at this stage.Luigi Mangione Says Linking Him to Blackstone Killer Biases JuryThe Trump administration has announced plans to deport Kilmar Abrego, a Salvadoran migrant at the center of a high-profile immigration case, to Eswatini, a country in southern Africa with which he has no ties. Abrego is currently detained in Virginia and previously faced deportation to Uganda, but the destination was changed after he claimed fear of persecution there. A Department of Homeland Security official dismissed his claims, citing that he has alleged fear of persecution in over 20 countries.Abrego was initially deported to El Salvador in March despite a court order blocking the move, prompting criticism of the administration's handling of his case. He was later returned to the U.S. in June to face federal charges of transporting undocumented migrants, to which he has pleaded not guilty. His attorneys argue that the prosecution is retaliatory and aimed at coercing a guilty plea. They also revealed that the government offered to send him to Costa Rica if he accepted a plea deal, or to Uganda if he refused.Abrego, who had been living in Maryland with his American wife and children, has become a symbol in the broader debate over immigration enforcement. The administration previously used deportation flights to Eswatini for people labeled too dangerous for their home countries to accept, raising further concerns about Abrego's treatment.Trump administration says migrant Abrego could be deported to Eswatini | ReutersThe Trump administration has officially ended its legal defense of a rule, created under President Biden, that banned employee noncompete agreements. These agreements prevent workers from joining competing businesses or starting their own in the same industry. On Friday, the Justice Department moved to dismiss two appeals in federal courts that challenged rulings striking down the 2024 Federal Trade Commission (FTC) rule. The decision was widely expected after Trump-appointed FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson, a critic of the rule, indicated earlier this year that the agency was reviewing its legality.The dropped appeals mean courts will not rule on whether the FTC has the authority to implement broad nationwide bans under its antitrust mandate. The original FTC rule had cited evidence that over 20% of U.S. workers are bound by noncompete clauses, which it argued restrict worker mobility and depress wages. However, Ferguson and other Republicans maintain that the FTC lacks the rulemaking power to impose such sweeping bans.The legal challenges were brought by a marketing firm, a real estate developer, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and other business groups. During Trump's first term, his administration held that although some noncompete clauses might be illegal, the agreements as a whole were not. Meanwhile, the FTC announced a new enforcement action against a major pet cremation company, accusing it of using unlawful noncompetes, including for low-wage workers.Trump administration drops defense of ban on employee 'noncompete' agreements | ReutersThe Trump administration is preparing backup plans to continue imposing tariffs if the Supreme Court rejects its current legal basis for doing so. After losing in lower courts, Trump is asking the Supreme Court to uphold his use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), a 1970s national security law that appellate judges ruled does not authorize tariffs. In the meantime, White House officials have been quietly exploring other legal tools for months, anticipating potential judicial pushback.Two key alternatives under consideration are Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. Section 232 allows the president to raise tariffs if certain imports are found to threaten national security—many of Trump's existing tariffs fall under this provision and wouldn't be directly affected by the IEEPA ruling. Section 301 permits the U.S. trade representative, under presidential direction, to take action in response to unfair trade practices. However, neither law offers the speed and flexibility that IEEPA provided, and each comes with legal and logistical hurdles.Trump's legal team and advisers remain confident that the Supreme Court, with a conservative majority that includes three of his appointees, might still side with him. But regardless of the legal outcome, the administration is determined to maintain a public and political case for Trump's tariff powers, framing them as essential to national security and foreign policy goals. These legal uncertainties are complicating U.S. trade negotiations, as foreign governments remain cautious and unconvinced that the court case will significantly shift the U.S. position.The White House is exploring how to keep Trump's tariffs if the Supreme Court strikes them down This is a public episode.

National Hispanic and Latino Heritage Month is the period from September 15 to October 15, where we pay particular attention to the contributions of Hispanic and Latinx Americans in the United States, and celebrate the group's rich heritage and diverse cultures. This timeframe encompasses the independence days of several Latin American countries: Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua. It's also an ideal time for us to restate our commitment to providing safe and welcoming schools for all students, regardless of immigration or any other status. Students who identify as Hispanic or of Latino heritage comprise 41 percent of our population in HSD, which is the largest of any demographic group. We believe our multilingual community brings a tapestry of linguistic and cultural assets and are proud to serve these students through a variety of programs - some of which serve them specifically, others of which are accessible to students of all backgrounds.

The City of Hillsboro and Centro Cultural are also hosting a wide range of events, including the El Grito Festival, Binational Health Fair, and more.

Since his death, his relics have been displayed in Assisi and his exhibitions on Eucharistic miracles have travelled worldwide. In 2020, he was beatified by the Catholic Church after the recognition of a proposed 2013 miracle in Brazil attributed to his intercession, while a second miracle in Costa Rica was confirmed in 2024.

Nació en Caracas, Venezuela, el 10 de julio de 1956. Es hija de Rubén Merenfeld y Lía Kohn, y nieta de inmigrantes judíos que llegaron desde Europa Oriental a Venezuela entre 1925 y 1930 huyendo del antisemitismo. Sus abuelos, Isack y Dora Kohn, junto con Samuel y Ana Dulberg de Merenfeld, construyeron desde cero una vida basada en la familia, la educación judía y el compromiso comunitario.Desde niña mostró una vocación natural por la arquitectura. Estudió en el Technion – Instituto de Tecnología de Israel y obtuvo una maestría en Infrastructure Planning and Management en la Universidad de Stanford. Ha vivido en Venezuela, Israel, Costa Rica y actualmente en Estados Unidos, y ha trabajado en todos estos países así como en Panamá, desarrollando proyectos arquitectónicos, culturales y educativos con un enfoque simbólico, social y transformador.Su pasión por la memoria, la espiritualidad, la coexistencia y el diseño con impacto emocional se refleja tanto en concursos como en obras que buscan tender puentes entre generaciones y culturas.La muerte de su padre en 1991 la llevó a profundizar en la espiritualidad y a estudiar cábala en Caracas, experiencia que transformó su manera de entender la arquitectura: más allá de estructuras, comenzó a ver los espacios como canales de energía, contención y resonancia emocional.Hoy es cofundadora de COEXPACE en Miami, junto con Ilana Beker y Vivian Toussieh un movimiento global de educación, cultura y acción social que promueve la valentía moral, la empatía y la coexistencia.   Su propósito es transformar la memoria en diálogo y el diálogo en acción. creando experiencias que inspiran a ponerse en el lugar del otro, cuestionar supuestos y asumir responsabilidad cívica. y arquitectura con alma.Susana conoció a su esposo, Isaac Weisleder, en Israel durante sus estudios. Juntos formaron una gran familia: son padres de Ariel y Ailyn, Jonathan y Aileen, Dan y Annael, y orgullosos abuelos de nueve nietos: Noam, Brian, Ezy, Eli, Sion, Eithan, Liat, Adam y Galit.Convencida de que “el verdadero diseño nace del alma y puede transformar el mundo”, Susana entrelaza en su vida y obra la memoria de sus abuelos, la fuerza de sus raíces y la visión de un futuro más justo.

Looking for a gentle way to regulate your emotions? In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, Karena guides you through a Somatic Meditation for Emotional Regulation using a powerful process called Regenerating Images in Memory® (RIM). True emotional regulation isn't about being calm all the time or forcing difficult feelings to go away. It's about having a way to return to safety and clarity inside, even in the middle of strong emotions. And the key to doing this is deep listening: turning toward your emotions with presence instead of pushing them aside. Instead of pushing your emotions down or trying to control them, this meditation will help you practice deep listening and inner attunement - so your nervous system can settle and you can return to a place of safety and clarity within. This practice is a simple yet profound way to care for your inner world and experience how emotional regulation naturally unfolds when you meet yourself with compassion and inner listening.

«Mi tía Rogelia vive en la calle del Olvido No. 101. Regordeta y rellenota de carnes y de ideas tétricas y apocalípticas, es sin embargo una de las madres modelos en esta sucia y dichosa ciudad de San José. Siete veces bendijo Dios su matrimonio, y mis siete primas representan esas siete bendiciones. »¡Qué lástima que la juventud no sea eterna! Por desgracia, mis primitas fueron jóvenes, y la menor (veintisiete años) es ya una juventud en conserva. La mayor colea los cuarenta, y entra en los helados confines de la vejez: y a todo esto, ni un marido que se presente.... »¡Pobre tía Rogelia, presidiendo semejante regimiento de solteronas! Sí, la palabra es dura, pero exacta. Mis primas representan en sus dolorosos extremos las tres clases conocidas hasta aquí de solteronas. En ese calvario hay tres estaciones. En la primera, la paciente es aún amiga de la humanidad, porque aún conserva alguna esperanza de un matrimonio in extremis. En la segunda, adiós a los hombres y sus engaños. El fuego sagrado del corazón es empleado y consumido en una lora, un gato o un perrito. Los efluvios de su alma, no comprendidos ni aun quizás apercibidos por ese animal sin plumas que se llama el hombre, han encontrado un ser peludo, emplumado o escamado, que las comprenda, las quiera y las acaricie. En la tercera época solteril, ya no son bastantes los cariños de Coscolina, ni los brincos del [perrito] Cook. Las monerías de la gatilla Filis no hacen ya sonreír a su desventurada dueña. El amor que es reconcentrado y abstracto en la solterona de tercer grado es, pues, esencialmente devoto y religioso. »Para mis primas, todo joven que visita una casa, es o novio o seductor de alguna hija de la misma. Para ellas ningún matrimonio se hace por amor, sino por interés, u obligados por las circunstancias. Toda mujer bella o graciosa es tonta o coqueta; los hombres que no las atienden son mal educados, y si esos mismos hombres atienden a otras, es con malos fines. En una palabra: son mis primas las siete plagas de Egipto; las siete peores vecinas; y aunque en cada familia se encuentran tipos semejantes o parecidos, es de esperarse, para la tranquilidad pública, que no todos tengan las abundantes dotes que adornan a las hijas de mi tía Rogelia.»1 ¿Quién hubiera pensado que un estadista y magistrado de la talla de don Manuel Argüello Mora de Costa Rica fuera capaz de describir por escrito, de una forma tan transparente, a miembros de su propia familia? Tal vez se deba a que lo hizo bajo el seudónimo de Simplicio Cucufate. Fue así como publicó una serie de ocho cuadros en la revista «Costa Rica Ilustrada» en 1887, poniéndole por título general «Mi familia».2 Menos mal que Dios no juzga así a las solteronas del mundo, generalizando y exagerando a propósito al referirse a ellas. Más bien, «el Señor es compasivo y justo —dice el salmista—; nuestro Dios es todo ternura».3 De ahí que a toda mujer considerada solterona, Dios le dice, al igual que a las viudas y a los huérfanos: «Si te quejas ante mí, yo atenderé a tu clamor, pues soy un Dios compasivo.»4 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Manuel Argüello Mora, Obras literarias e históricas, 1a. ed.

Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified! Throughout September, we're diving deep into classroom lessons, one of my favorite Tier 1 interventions. Sometimes we're given lesson plans, but other times we're left to create everything from scratch. That's why this month I'm sharing practical strategies for scheduling, planning, and teaching lessons with confidence. These tips are pulled directly from my Stress-Free Classroom Lessons course, a five-module training designed to help you feel prepared and supported when delivering class lessons. In this episode, I'll walk you through three game-changing scheduling tools that make the process seamless and manageable: 1. Google Sheets Create a simple form that lists your available times. Share it with teachers so they can sign up directly, avoiding endless back-and-forth emails. Teachers take ownership of choosing times, while you stay in control of your availability. Set it up at the beginning of the year so teachers can reserve their slots for months ahead. 2. Calendly Use this free, user-friendly website for scheduling. Teachers can easily reserve lesson times for the entire school year. Add important details like location, duration, and virtual links. Customize hours, set time limits, and color-code events to keep everything organized. 3. Google Calendar Pair with Google Sheets or Calendly for maximum efficiency. Create recurring calendar invites that include lesson details, virtual links, and reminders. Invite teachers directly so lessons appear on their calendars. Color-code lessons, groups, and individual sessions for quick organization at a glance. While it takes time to set up initially, the payoff is a smooth, structured year. Pro Scheduling Tip: Be practical and remember that you're in control. For instance, if Mondays are difficult due to travel or frequent holidays, avoid scheduling lessons on that day. I personally recommend having teachers sign up for the entire year in advance. This approach allows you to balance your time across class lessons, small groups, and individual sessions. At the same time, remain flexible, because your schedule will naturally shift to accommodate your needs and the evolving needs of teachers throughout the school year.

Welcome to one of the first guest episodes of Becoming Unshakeable! If you've been a follower and fan of Leadership with Heart, you're in exactly the right place. From here on out, Becoming Unshakeable will be the new name of my show—and I can't wait to bring you invaluable insights on what it means to lead with clarity, compassion and courage. What does it really take to live bravely and lead with your whole self? In this heartfelt conversation, I sat down with my dear friend Kimberly Davis, Founder of Brave Leadership and author of Brave Leadership: Unleash Your Most Confident, Authentic, and Powerful Self to Get the Results You Need. Kimberly opens up about the wake-up calls that changed her life, from personal loss during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic to making the bold decision to sell her home in Texas and move her family to Costa Rica. She shares how bravery is not about being fearless, but about making clear choices, standing in your values, and permitting yourself to live fully. Together, we explore what it means to become unshakeable when life throws curveballs. We discuss leaning into self-leadership, making powerful decisions even when they are intimidating, and discovering practices that keep you grounded when your world feels uncertain. Kimberly's story is a reminder that courage is contagious. When we choose to show up authentically, we permit others to do the same. If you have ever wondered how to step into your own brave choices, whether at work, in life, or in leadership, this episode will inspire you to stop waiting for permission and start living the life you want now.  

Today we have Odette. She's 37 years old, lives in San Diego, CA and she took her last drink 486 days ago.   This episode brought to you by: Better Help – 10% off of your first month #sponsored Exact Nature – 20% off your order with code RE20   Registration is open for our next retreat in Costa Rica. That's February 21st – 28th, 2026 in Guanacaste, a Blue Zone. We are over halfway full, but we have seven spots left.   [03:09] Thoughts from Paul:   When 17 people send Paul an article in the span of 2-3 days, he knows it means something big just came out… and this one is big because it disarms one of the biggest reasons why it's so hard to quit drinking: everyone else is drinking. Which is no longer true. Several publication released this article and here's the link for the CBS article.   It says - only 54% of U.S. adults say they drink alcohol, a record low. There is a growing belief that even moderate alcohol consumption is a health risk which is 100% correct. In 2015 28% of Americans though this but now in 2025, that percentage has almost doubled to 53%.   While mostly younger Americans are driving this trend, but older Americans are getting on board as well and the alcohol industry is tanking. Paul says that he can't help but feel that we all have had a part in this. That we, including you, the listener, have saved lives by doing our part getting the proper messaging out about alcohol, and people are listening.   So, you're not the only one who doesn't drink. Paul doesn't drink, Odette doesn't drink and 46% of Americans don't drink either.   [07:57] Paul introduces Odette:   In addition to being interviewed on episodes 128 and 231, Odette was the podcast host from episode 277 to 378.   Odette is from Guadalajara, Mexico but has been living in San Diego, CA with her husband, two kids and a variety of pets. She works in operations for a company called Chosen Foods. Around a year ago, she began teaching breathwork as well. For fun, she and her family enjoy being outside, especially at the beach.   Odette shares that addiction runs in her family, her father, who recently hit 16 years sober, went into rehab when Odette was 18. At the time she was struggling with an eating disorder and clinical depression. She never expected alcohol to be a problem for her.   Odette moved to the US with her husband after she graduated college. She kept her eating, and depression issues a secret for about a year after they got married but ended up going into treatment for it because she knew she needed to be healthy in order to have kids.   After having their first child, Odette says that she fell into the “mommy wine culture” pretty quickly. Playdates included toys for the kids and wine for the moms. Over time she began to look forward to drinking but there was always a knowing that this wasn't her authentic self, she says. The drinking helped her feel like she fit in.   The drinking and her eating disorder didn't play well together. She found the lines getting blurry and she wasn't listening to her body as well as before. Since she didn't drink much, she wasn't sure she really had a problem, but it was all taking a toll mentally.   During the time Odette was hosting the RE podcast, her grandmother got sick. She lives far from her family and the uncertainty of the situation and pain of not being there was too much for her. Even with all of her tools, Odette found herself relapsing. She struggled with the shame of it and felt a little lost but leaning into the community and learning how to accept herself has been important to getting her footing back.   Odette says recovery isn't about fixing yourself, it's about accepting all of the things that you are.  Breathwork has been helpful for Odette to learn how to get back in touch with her body and be present.   The Harmony House Odette Cressler   Recovery Elevator You took the elevator down, you gotta take the stairs back up.

Sometimes life forces you to hit reset. For me, it was losing my house. For you, it might be a breakup, a career shift, or just that nagging feeling that life is smaller than it should be. In this walk-and-talk episode from Costa Rica, I share how I've been redefining everything: happiness, relationships, play, even what “success” means. The truth is - growth doesn't come from routines. It comes from curiosity, from being willing to reimagine your definitions. You'll hear stories of: My second rebirth at 52 How living abroad reshaped my creativity and sense of play Why redefining doesn't require moving countries—it can start with friendships, hobbies, or daily joy The hidden power of changing your environment My challenge for you: What's one thing you can redefine this week?
