You do not have to absorb the stress of the people around you.Welcome to Day 3 of The Holiday Sanctuary. As we move deeper into the week, social obligations—office parties, family calls, and crowded shops—often increase. For those of us who are sensitive, this contact can feel draining. We often leave these interactions feeling exhausted, not because we did too much, but because we felt too much.In today's episode, Protecting Your Energy Field, we are building a boundary. We are learning the difference between empathy (understanding someone) and absorption (taking on their emotions).In this session, you will experience:The Cleansing Breath: A visualization-based breathwork technique where you inhale clear, restorative light and exhale the grey smoke of other people's tension.The "Glass Wall" Visualization: A powerful mental exercise to construct a transparent shield around you. This allows you to see and hear the world clearly, but ensures that negativity simply bounces off your field rather than sinking in.Affirmations for Boundaries: "I observe stress without absorbing it." "I am the guardian of my own energy."Carry this shield with you into every room you enter today.Next Up: Join me tomorrow for the final session, Day 4, where we will focus on "The Celebration"—finding genuine joy in the season on your own terms.

In this moving episode of Radio Medium Laura Lee, Spirit comes through for Elizabeth from Massachusetts, bringing forward a loving maternal grandmother with guidance for one of the most difficult crossroads of her life. Her grandmother presents a symbolic wedding band, pointing to both the family lineage and the painful marital separation Elizabeth is currently navigating. Spirit validates Elizabeth's experience of feeling like a single mother, even while in the relationship, and acknowledges the emotional exhaustion, confusion, and longing for stability she's been carrying. Through clear and compassionate messages, Spirit reminds Elizabeth that although the ground feels shaky now, she already has solid ground beneath her—in her career, her inner strength, and her ability to make grounded decisions for herself and her son. This episode offers profound validation, healing guidance, and reassurance for anyone facing relationship upheaval or stepping into a new chapter of independence.

Do you ever feel like self-doubt is holding you back from reaching your goals? What could you accomplish if you trusted that you had the inner strength to handle challenges? We often think success will erase self-doubt, but in reality, self-doubt often grows with increased responsibility. But learning how to manage self-doubt could be the key to creating a better life. My guest is Dr. Shadé Zahrai, a renowned expert in leadership, negotiation, and career advancement. She's also the author of a new book called Big Trust. Some of the things we discuss are: The surprising ways self-doubt can actually help you achieve your goals The biggest mistake most of us make in dealing with self-doubt The four key weaknesses that self-doubt attacks—and how to strengthen them Practical strategies to detach from negative thoughts and take decisive action The connection between your thoughts, body, and environment—and how it shapes your mindset Why waiting to feel confident is a myth, and how to embrace the power of self-trust The two mindset tools that will help you conquer any challenge Why trying to be like others will stifle your voice and diminish your worth Subscribe to Mentally Stronger Premium for exclusive content like weekly bonus episodes, mental strength challenges, and office hours with me.

Send us a textA shattered bowl mended with gold can change how you see your own story. We take that Kintsugi image and map it onto real life: the breaks you want to hide, the scars you downplay, and the moments you thought would end you. Instead of chasing a spotless image, we walk through how to turn those cracks into visible lines of strength—proof that you've been tested and upgraded.We dig into why scars are receipts, not defects, and how the people we admire earn our respect by showing the rebuild, not erasing it. Devin shares personal examples from launching Strive 11 and navigating a fitness dip that forced better time design. Together we unpack the cultural lie that “untouched” equals valuable, and replace it with a craftsperson's lens: honor the break, highlight the seam, and build a vessel that holds more. You'll get a simple four-step practice to apply today—name the break, extract the lesson, reinforce it with new behaviors, and stop hiding the seam—so resilience becomes a system, not a slogan.By the end, you'll have a challenge to make this mindset stick: write what happened, what it cost, and what gold you gained that you refuse to ignore. Share your seam with someone who needs strength right now. If this message reminded you that you're forged, not fragile, follow the show, leave a review, and send this to a friend who thinks they're disqualified. Your story isn't over—the gold gets added next.Support the showThanks for listening & being part of the Mindset Cafe Community.----------------------------------------------Connect With Devan:https://www.devangonzalez.com/connect----------------------------------------------Follow On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/devan.gonzalez/https://www.instagram.com/mindsetcafepodcastLet me know what topics or questions you want covered so we can help you achieve your goals faster.

Happy Mindful Monday Everyone!In this week's episode, our host, Allie Brooke, sits down with amazing Brigette Panetta. Brigette has emerged as a powerful advocate for individuals facing social injustice and adversity. As the partner of James Mawhinney, founder of Media.com, Brigette has personally experienced the profound challenges of fighting against a government body. Over the past four years, she has witnessed the severe impact of Australia's corporate regulator, ASIC's, false allegations on her family's investment business, Mayfair 101. This ordeal has deeply affected Brigette, her young family, and the lives of nearly 600 Australians. Her journey began under extraordinary circumstances—two days after giving birth during the onset of the pandemic, Brigette found herself in the ICU, recovering from a traumatic birthing experience while simultaneously supporting James through 26 legal hearings. The struggle resulted in losing their family home and enduring significant personal and professional setbacks. Despite these hardships, Brigette's resilience has driven her to speak out and assist others in similar predicaments. Brigette is committed to creating a foundation to provide litigation funding and support for individuals battling injustices. She aims to offer a platform for people to share their stories and find solidarity in their experiences. In addition to her advocacy work, Brigette is passionate about holistic healing modalities. She has explored and benefited from practices such as breath work, meditation, kinesiology, and Reiki to overcome trauma and stress. Through her journey, she has discovered the power of internal healing and now wishes to educate others on these methods.Episode TopicsHow did you specifically cultivate mental resilience during such an intense social justice pursuit, when the stakes were so high?Can you share an experience where a mental barrier (like self-doubt, fear, or hopelessness) felt particularly overwhelming, and what immediate, in-the-moment strategies you used to overcome it?How did your experiences with adversity fundamentally shift your perspective on personal strength and the human capacity for endurance?You've leveraged meditation, Reiki, and other holistic healing modalities to transcend adversity. For listeners who might be new to these practices, where would you recommend they start to begin building their inner strength?Can you describe how integrating mind, body, and spirit through these practices creates a different kind of resilience compared to purely mental fortitude?Was there a specific holistic practice that felt most impactful for you during your most challenging times, and what made it so powerful?How do you continue to weave these holistic practices into your daily life now, beyond times of crisis, to maintain your well-being?How To Connect w| BrigetteWebsiteLinkedIn The Growth METHOD.

Paul offers a single sweeping prayer in Ephesians 3:14–21, preparing believers for the practical instructions that follow in the second half of the letter. He anchors the prayer in God's absolute authority—the One who names every family in heaven and on earth—and reminds us no power can separate us from Him. Paul asks that believers be strengthened internally by the Spirit so they can grasp the immeasurable dimensions of Christ's love. Ultimately, we are invited to be filled with the very fullness of God, living as temples where His presence dwells.

non riusciva a fare altrimenti.En: The risk was great, but Luca couldn't do otherwise.It: La somministrazione dei farmaci richiese lunghi minuti.En: Administering the medication took long minutes.It:

sedia.En: Luca collapsed into a chair.It: Sentiva la vittoria, ma anche il peso delle vite che non era riuscito a salvare.En: He felt victory, but also the weight of the lives he couldn't save.It: Accettare che non avrebbe potuto fare di più era doloroso.En: Accepting that he couldn't do more was painful.It: "Ecco che cosa significa essere medico, Luca," disse Marco, appoggiando una mano sulla sua spalla.En: "This is what it means to be a doctor, Luca," said Marco, placing a hand on his shoulder.It: "Fare tutto il possibile, ma accettare che non sempre basta."En: "Doing everything you can, but accepting that it's not always enough."It: Con il buio che avvolgeva il campo, Luca guardava Napoli, illuminata dalle luci della sera.En: With darkness surrounding the camp, Luca looked at Napoli, illuminated by the evening lights.It: Capiva ora il valore della sua presenza lì.En: He now understood the value of his presence there.It: Nonostante il dolore e le sconfitte, avrebbe continuato a lottare per salvare vite.En: Despite the pain and defeats, he would continue to fight to save lives.It: Perché, anche nel caos, un singolo gesto di coraggio poteva fare la differenza.En: Because, even in chaos, a single act of courage could make a difference.It: Una nuova consapevolezza si era radicata in lui, pronta a crescere come i piccoli semi piantati nella terra dopo l'autunno.En: A new awareness had taken root in him, ready to grow like small seeds planted in the earth after autumn.

In this powerful real-life episode of Self Care with Geraldine Hardy, recorded on the island of Koh Phangan in Thailand, Geraldine shares an experience that tested her intuition, courage, and humanity in the most visceral way. After witnessing a severe scooter accident, Geraldine moved from overthinking into calm, instinctive action — holding space for a stranger, keeping her safe, and managing the chaos around her. Through the lens of her ongoing Kabbalah studies, she explains how spiritual practice, self-awareness, and grounded emotional work can completely shift how we respond to crisis, uncertainty, and responsibility. Speaking openly as both a spiritual practitioner and a startup founder, Geraldine reflects on why inner resilience, boundaries, and emotional clarity are essential — not only for wellbeing, but for surviving the realities of entrepreneurship, pressure, and the unpredictability of life. You'll learn: - How spiritual practice strengthens instinct and lowers fear - Why responding from presence — not mental noise — changes everything - What crisis reveals about humanity, awareness, and self-leadership - How boundaries and self-respect safeguard your energy - Why overgiving and people-pleasing are emotional traps - How resilience is built during pressure, loss, and uncertainty - The connection between self-care, purpose, and startup strength ✨ Geraldine's message: In a single moment, everything can change. Staying human, present, and heart-led is the foundation of true self-care — in life, in love, and in leadership.

Today, I interview John Kippen who spent years hiding after a surgery left half of his face paralyzed. His story is one of deep courage, transformation, and learning what it really means to be seen.As a child, John grew up in a successful family and learned how to perform, achieve, and seek approval. But beneath that confidence was a longing to be understood for who he truly was. When a brain tumor led to facial paralysis, everything he knew about identity and worth was shaken.What followed was a long season of silence and isolation that eventually became a doorway to rediscovery. Through his love for magic and storytelling, John began to connect with others again. The stage became a space where he stopped hiding, shared his truth, and turned what once felt like a limitation into a powerful message of authenticity.Today, John uses his voice to help others find theirs. As a speaker and empowerment coach, he reminds us that real confidence isn't about appearance or perfection. It begins with self-acceptance, compassion, and the courage to show up exactly as we are.__________________John Kippen is an entrepreneur, professional magician, speaker, resilience and empowerment coach, and published author.In 2002, he was diagnosed with a large benign brain tumor that, while successfully removed, left him with permanent facial paralysis. The experience stopped his forward momentum and led him into hiding for more than twelve years.During that time, John rediscovered his childhood love for performing magic and storytelling. What began as a way to cope slowly became his source of healing. With renewed passion and hope, he came to see that his facial difference was not a limitation but his greatest superpower.Today, John lives with joy and purpose, helping others rise above self-doubt and fear. As a resilience and empowerment coach, he teaches people to get out of their own way and step into a life of confidence and connection.His guiding mottos are simple yet profound: Being different is your superpower and Feed your heart with your art.__________________Find John here:https://www.johnkippen.com/https://www.facebook.com/kippen/?_rdrhttps://www.instagram.com/johnkippen/?hl=enhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/johnkippenspeaker/Support the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

Send us a textIn this episode, Amy Edelstein unpacks why mindfulness goes beyond technique and how wonder is a key ingredient that develops authentic leadership in young people and adults. Mindfulness as only an add-on falls short of what it can be and how awe, gratitude, and presence foster the qualities of autonomy and leadership that are becoming more and more important. She encourages reflection on the wonder of human capacities, at a time when there is much attention on the capabilities of synthetic intelligence. In this session, Amy will• contrast typical executive coaching models with the Inner Strength model of cultivating inner strength for outer stability • reframes mindful awareness as reverence for our capabilities, not only as a productivity tool• explores gratitude for how evolution has unfolded, leading to the beauty and diversity of life on earth, and see that as a foundation for empathy and courage• shows how intuitive leadership does not need to be sloppy, it can be informed, integrated and multi-faceted discernment• invites educators to point students to wonder and to see mindfulness in terms of what it can reveal rather than as a tool to address only deficitsSupport the showIf you enjoyed this episode please leave a review!

In today's episode, “Flourish When Life Pivots with Peg Arnold,” host Tina Yeager is joined by national speaker, international author, and self-proclaimed “drama queen for Jesus,” Peg Arnold. Together, they dive deep into how to handle major life changes—whether it's moving cross-country, transitioning out of a long-held job, or letting go of deeply-rooted roles and routines. Peg shares her own story of uprooting after 32 years in the same home, facing the anxieties and grief that come with change, and discovering that leaning into faith can reveal new purpose in unfamiliar places.

Peg discusses the importance of letting yourself grieve and offers ways to honor what you're leaving behind. Find Joy in Small Moments: Even amidst sorrow, there are jewels of joy. Peg encourages us to seek these “little joys”—whether it's a walk in nature, a comforting scripture, or a surprise encounter with an eagle that reminded her of God's promises.

Move Forward With Purpose: After healing, seek God for the next steps. Peg shares how unexpected new goals and ministry opportunities unfolded as she trusted Him with her future.

I'm so anxious and don't know how to face my boss's evaluation."Zh: “有时,我们太过专注于与他人竞争,反而忽略了自己真正的强项。”美的语气沉稳中透出一丝智慧。En: "Sometimes, we focus too much on competing with others and overlook our true strengths," Mei spoke with a tone that was steady yet brimming with wisdom.Zh: “诚实地展现自己,比模仿他人要有力得多。”En: "Honestly expressing yourself is far more powerful than imitating others."Zh: 在柔和的灯光下,魏捧着温暖的茶杯,慢慢地品味着这番话。En: Under the soft light, Wei held the warm teacup, slowly savoring these words.Zh: 突然之间,他明白了继续让自己不安的是竞争,而不是他的能力。En: Suddenly, he realized it was the competition, not his abilities, that continued to unsettle him.Zh: 吐出长长的一口气,魏决定在评估中不去顾虑亮,也不去模仿他人,而是专注于自己的成长和优点。En: Releasing a long sigh, he decided that during the evaluation, he would not worry about Liang nor imitate others but would concentrate on his own growth and strengths.Zh: 几天后的评估会上,魏不再拘泥于浮夸的表现,而是真诚地分享了自己对团队发展的想法。En: At the evaluation meeting a few days later, Wei no longer confined himself to exaggerated displays but instead sincerely shared his ideas for team development.Zh: 他的老板看到他这样的真诚和清晰,微微点头,露出满意的微笑。En: His boss saw his sincerity and clarity, nodding slightly with a satisfied smile.Zh: 评估结束后,魏极有信心地走出了会议室,心中一片坦然。En: After the evaluation ended, Wei walked out of the conference room with great confidence, feeling at peace within.Zh: 当老板宣布他获得晋升时,他意识到自己所展现的不只是工作上的成就,还有真实的自己。En: When his boss announced that he had received the promotion, he realized he was showcasing not just his work achievements, but his true self.Zh: 从那一天起,魏懂得了,不必与人攀比,也不需给自己施加压力。En: From that day on, Wei understood that he did not need to compare himself with others or place undue pressure on himself.Zh: 真实的自己,才是最有力的竞争力。En: The real self is the most powerful competitiveness.Zh: 茶店外的秋风依旧轻轻拂过,而美的茶香仍然如故,安宁地弥漫着。En: The autumn breeze outside the tea shop still gently swept by, and Mei's tea fragrance remained the same, peacefully lingering.

Most men think they're strong until reality exposes the gap between who they think they are and what women and life reveals.

In this episode, Guy interviewed Sunny Jacobs, who was wrongly convicted of murder at age 27 and spent 17 years in prison, including five years on death row in solitary confinement. Sunny described the circumstances of her wrongful conviction, the trauma her family endured, and the flawed justice system that led to her death sentence. She shared how yoga, meditation, and prayer became her lifelines, helping her survive the psychological torment of isolation and maintain hope. Sunny explained her journey toward healing and forgiveness, emphasizing the importance of choice, resilience, and compassion even in the darkest moments. After her release, Sunny faced the challenges of reentering society, reconnecting with her children, and building a new life, eventually dedicating herself to helping others who were wrongfully convicted. The conversation closed with reflections on the power of hope, the need for systemic change, and Sunny's message of love, healing, and the importance of surrounding oneself with positive people. About Sunny: The Sunny Center Foundation is a non-profit organization that helps people who have suffered the injustice of wrongful conviction, giving them support after they have been exonerated and released from prison. It was established by Sunny Jacobs and Peter Pringle, both of whom were sentenced to death for crimes they did not commit. Sunny was released in 1992 after spending 17 years incarcerated in Florida, and Peter in Ireland in 1995 after 15 years in prison. They met in 1998, fell in love, got married and became part of each other's path to healing and happiness, using the practices of yoga, meditation and prayer – the same methods that each of them had used in prison to help them survive their ordeal. In 2012 they began welcoming exonerees into their home. In 2014, the foundation was established and they were able to extend their assistance more broadly, using a unique holistic approach encompassing physical, mental and spiritual healing and ongoing support. In 2018 they opened The Sunny Living Center, a housing complex in Tampa, Florida for exonerees. In 2020, their mission expanded to helping families and others who've been affected by the injustice of wrongful conviction as well as extending their healing techniques to the general public.

To connect with others, you have to get out of your own head.Whether presenting to millions on live television or talking to just one person, Dan Harris knows that the quality of every interaction depends on the presence you bring to it.Harris is a former national news anchor for ABC News and is now the host of the 10% Happier podcast and author of 10% Happier and Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics. As he knows from experience, there's power in “Waking up to something fundamental, that the mind is out of control, and you don't want to be owned by it.” How do we break the pattern of being controlled by our thoughts? Mindfulness and self-awareness, he says, put “distance” between us and our “thoughts and urges and emotions,” enabling us to connect with ourselves and others with greater consciousness and clarity.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Harris and host Matt Abrahams discuss how mindfulness can transform our communication, sharing strategies for deeper listening, responding versus reacting, and reflecting what others say back to them. “Relationships are the most important aspect of your happiness,” Harris says. The quality of those connections goes up when “you're “less stuck in your own head.”Episode Reference Links:Dan HarrisDan's Books: 10% Happier / Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics Ep.179 Finding Positive in Negative Emotions: Communication, Happiness & Wellbeing Ep.180 Unlocking Your Future Self: Communication, Happiness & Wellbeing Ep.181 Why Happiness is a Direction, Not a Destination: Communication, Happiness & Wellbeing Ep.182 Stop Chasing Time and Start Owning It: Communication, Happiness & Wellbeing Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:51) - On-Air Panic Attack (02:59) - Managing Communication Anxiety (04:01) - Nervousness Before Live Audiences (05:48) - Meditation Misconceptions (09:36) - Responding vs. Reacting (12:07) - Mindfulness & Productivity (15:11) - Lessons from Interviewing (17:19) - The Final Three Question (25:14) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.
