It's time to get cozy.
After 20+ years of creating exclusively for educators, I'm expanding into some new creative spaces. In this podcast episode, I share the "why" behind my new YouTube channel ("So What Are We Doing Here?"), my Substack publication, my free guided meditations on Insight Timer, and some other fun new places to find me. I also talk about how my own work has shifted more toward adults, and why so much of what I've always talked about on this podcast (productivity, mindset, burnout, boundaries) goes way beyond the classroom. Then I get into something I've been wanting to demystify for a while: the restorative practices that are at the heart of my retreats. I break down what forest bathing, sound baths, and restorative yoga actually are, what the research says about why they work, and what it felt like to lead these sessions at my Books in the Wild retreat last month. I also make a case for planning your year around restorative practices instead of around work, and using the concept of "due season" to build intentional periods of rest into your calendar before the busyness fills it up. Truth for Teachers isn't going anywhere. But you're not JUST a teacher, and I want to create for ALL of you, not just the part of you standing in front of a classroom.

You've done the things you were supposed to do. But underneath it all, there's a quiet question that won't leave you alone: "Is this all there is?" In this episode, Steven Webb shares the deeply personal story of lying in a hospital bed at eighteen, paralysed and unable to speak, wrestling with the two biggest questions of his life. What he discovered is that "is this all there is?" isn't a sign of ingratitude or crisis. It's a doorway to something extraordinary: wonder, mystery, and the breathtaking magic of not knowing. Drawing on the wisdom of Rumi, Alan Watts, and Zen teacher Shunryu Suzuki, Steven explores how we can trade our cleverness for bewilderment and see the world through beginner's eyes again.Who Is This Episode For?This episode is for anyone who has ever looked at their life and felt that quiet ache of "is this it?", especially when everything looks fine on the outside. If you're in midlife and questioning what it's all been for, if you feel guilty for wanting something deeper when you know you should be grateful, or if you've simply stopped seeing the magic in everyday moments, Steven Webb recorded this conversation for you.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeSteven opens with a vivid image of a butterfly landing in front of you and asks when you last truly saw the world for the first time. He then takes you back to his hospital bed at eighteen, where two questions rattled around in his mind for months: "Who am I?" and "Is this it?" He explores why this question tends to arrive in midlife, when the forward momentum of building a career, a family, and a life finally slows down enough for you to look around and wonder what it was all for. Carl Jung's idea of the second half of life as a turning inward sits alongside Rumi's invitation to sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment, Alan Watts' beautiful image of the unknown becoming a window rather than a blank space, and Shunryu Suzuki's teaching on beginner's mind. Steven weaves in a story about a little girl discovering that the world through a caravan window is the same world outside the door, and his own moment watching a wave at the Headland Hotel and realising that exact wave would never happen again. The episode closes with a powerful reframe: the question was never really "is this all there is?" The question was always "am I paying attention?"Memorable Quotes from This Episode"That question is not a sign that something's wrong with you. It might actually be one of the most important questions you've ever asked." — Steven Webb"You are not ungrateful. You're not broken. You are not having some kind of crisis." — Steven Webb"Not knowing didn't become a wall. It became a window." — Steven Webb"Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment." — Rumi"In beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in an expert's mind there are few." — Shunryu Suzuki"The magic is in not knowing. The magic is in the fact that right now, in this moment, you are a conscious being in an incomprehensibly vast universe, and you have no idea why. And to me, that's not depressing. That's breathtaking." — Steven Webb"The question was never really, is this all there is? The question was always, am I paying attention?" — Steven WebbTry This TodayNext time the "is this it?" feeling visits you, don't push it away. Go outside or look out of a window. Pick one thing: a tree, a cloud, a bird, a wave. And look at it as if you've never seen it before. Because in a very real sense, you haven't. That exact moment, that exact configuration of light and shadow, has never existed before and will never exist again. Let yourself be bewildered by it.Supporter ThanksThis podcast is completely free and has no adverts or sponsors. It is made possible entirely by the kind people who treat Steven to a coffee.

Welcome to a peaceful rainy night at the lake cabin sanctuary. In this cozy rainy bedtime story for sleep, you're invited to settle into a warm loft overlooking the lake as gentle rain falls outside and candlelight flickers inside the cabin. This calming sleep story is part of the new "Sleepy Journal Series," where we open the pages of old journals and revisit meaningful memories that remind us how powerful the simplest moments in life can be. This nostalgic series is also an invitation to something deeper — a real human connection. In my ongoing effort to return to the authentic spirit of this sanctuary that first began in 2015, I'm sharing pieces of my life through the pages of my journals. These stories are time capsules of lived experience, quiet reminders that the most meaningful joys often come from the smallest and most ordinary moments.Together we'll revisit memories, dreams, and reflections that have proven again and again that simplicity is the ultimate luxury. As the rain taps softly on the skylights and the warmth of the cabin surrounds you, allow yourself to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with your own dreams and memories.Whether you're here for deep sleep, relaxation, cozy storytelling, or a peaceful bedtime ritual, this rainy lake cabin sanctuary offers a place to unwind and drift gently into rest. It's time to dream away.
In this episode of the Healing Powers Podcast, host Laura Michelle Powers speaks with medical doctor and functional medicine expert Dr. Kelly McCann about mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), histamine intolerance, and the growing number of people experiencing unexplained chronic symptoms. Although mast cell activation was only first described in medical literature in 2007, research suggests that up to one in five people may be affected.Dr. McCann explains how mast cells—an important part of the immune system—can become overly reactive due to environmental toxins, mold exposure, infections, stress, and trauma. When this happens, it can trigger widespread inflammation throughout the body and lead to symptoms such as allergies, brain fog, digestive issues, insomnia, migraines, anxiety, and fatigue. Laura also shares her own experiences with mold exposure and sensitivities, highlighting how many people struggle to get answers through conventional testing.Learn more about Dr. Kelly McCann at thespringcenter.com As Dr. Kelly referenced, you can find more information and locate mold-aware professionals through the International Society for Environmentally Acquired Illness (ISEAI): https://iseai.org/Kelly K. McCann, MD, MPH is a triple board-certified physician in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Integrative Medicine, with additional certifications in Functional Medicine and Medical Acupuncture. She is the founder of The Spring Center in Costa Mesa, California, where she specializes in complex chronic illness, including Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, mold and mycotoxin illness, Lyme disease, and environmentally acquired conditions.Dr. McCann has hosted multiple international summits on MCAS and allergy-related illness and serves on the boards of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine and was a founding Board member of the International Society for Environmentally Acquired Illness. A graduate of Tulane University School of Medicine and one of only 35 physicians worldwide to complete the residential fellowship at the University of Arizona's Center for Integrative Medicine, she also holds a Master's in Spiritual Psychology.Her work is now evolving into what she calls The Unforgetting Project: a new healing paradigm that bridges functional medicine with spiritual psychology, inviting patients to experience symptoms not as failures, but as meaningful messages guiding them back to wholeness.Laura is a Celebrity Psychic who has been featured by Buzzfeed, The Weakest Link, Beast Games, NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, the CW, Motherboard by Vice Magazine and the #1” Ron Burgundy Podcast” with Will Ferrell.

Welcome to the Spiritually Fit Yoga podcast with Amelia Andaleon. This episode is a recording from a live yoga class on the Insight Timer app. It begins with a short meditation and pranayama called nadi shodhana, or alternate nostril breathing. To set up you might want a blanket, blocks, or any props as needed to support your practice. At the end of the class I end it in savasana in silence. You are welcome to listen into the conversation with the students after the class where I share about how yoga and meditation have calmed my nervous system and taught me to be less reactive to stressors in life. And, I share about my recent Yoga Hike to End Alzheimer's and how important it is for us to care for our brain health.MEDICAL DISCLAIMER"By participating in this online yoga class, you acknowledge that yoga is a physical practice that carries risk of injury.

How do we fall in love with the unextraordinary?By remembering that it is already exquisite in its plainest form. We have been created at the perfect distance—not so close that there is nothing, not so far that there is nothing—to experience life as something quietly remarkable. This remembering alone can turn every meeting with the ordinary into a spiritual one.May we be willing to be touched by the smallest points of contact today—birdsong, an unexpected smile, a hand in ours—and let them guide us back home to who we really are: the loving, formless capacity through which all forms are known.Have a wonderful week,SezSupport the show✨ Every Thursday, I send out unpublished poems & audio essays to help us embody our felt sense of wholeness through nonduality, nature, and self-inquiry on my Substack.

There's a moment when someone says “just meditate” and your whole body tightens. Because you've tried. You've sat there. You've gotten more distracted. More frustrated. More convinced that mindfulness just isn't for your ADHD brain. But what if the problem was never you? So many high-achieving ADHD women are stuck in burnout cycles, emotional overwhelm, and nervous system dysregulation — and then handed tools that were never adapted for executive function differences or trauma-informed care. Traditional mindfulness can unintentionally reinforce shame when it's framed as “clear your mind” or “sit still.” When we understand ADHD neurobiology and how attention regulation actually works, mindfulness becomes something very different. It becomes a tool for nervous system regulation. For widening the space between stimulus and response. For interrupting reactivity before it spirals into overcommitment, shutdown, or emotional flooding. And when practiced in an ADHD-aligned way, it can strengthen the exact executive function skills many of us struggle with — without demanding perfection. But there's one subtle shift most people never hear about… and without it, mindfulness will continue to feel impossible. • Why “quiet your mind” is the wrong goal • The attention muscle most ADHD women aren't training • Nervous system regulation vs. forced calm • The moment that changes everything What if the distraction isn't failure… but the actual doorway? ✨Mentioned in the Episode In this episode I mentioned the free app Insight Timer.

Meditation Jam with Maria Rinné, transformational energy meditations, travel tips and life!
With this sacred eclipse, the sky opens a quiet doorway. A Virgo Blood Moon calls us into gentle purification, a soft unraveling of old patterns, heavy expectations, and the quiet pressure to be more, do more, fix more. In this meditation, we surrender what is complete, we release the inner critic and clear the inner temple. Under the moon glow, we renew, reconnecting to a steady, luminous line between heart and soul. I got to experience this first hand when I was supposed to host a live Moon Meditation event at Insight Timer today but managed to get myself locked out of the event at the start. With no possibility to get back in. If you were there waiting, I'm so sorry for this and happy to share the meditation here and now instead. A lesson in releasing that inner critic, expectations and old patterns. So come sit beneath the eclipse with me to let go, be cleansed and remember who you are! Remember the energy is here for you no matter when you listen to it. Embrace the change, embrace your purpose. Press play, breathe deep, and expand into the most beautiful version of you Full Moon Lunar Eclipse Love Maria Pod music- Steen Thottrup - Balearic Bliss - Delux version -More music by Steen Thottrup at https://open.spotify.com/artist/6tPMvCqpjXjP9Iezu41j3E?si=TSCZPuvJR2uc6JoMZBdvZQ Meditation music Moby LA3 MARIA RINNÉ – ACTIVATE AND IGNITE YOUR HEART – Life Force Energy Guide & Writer www.mariarinne.com https://linktr.ee/mariarinneenergy
In this transformative journey, Therese Tucker explores the mystical concept of Catalyst from the Law of One, shining a gentle light on why life feels so intense right now and how every experience, painful or joyful, is an invitation for spiritual refinement. Discover the deeper wisdom of catalyst as not punishment, but as design: a neutral offering from the universe, inviting consciousness to evolve through the choices we make in response.Therese helps you understand the difference between pain and suffering, revealing how clean acceptance allows pain to move through, while resistance creates stagnation. She shares practical, soul-aligned steps for actually metabolizing difficult experiences, guiding you to pause, name your feelings, fully process them, and embrace spiritual growth through small choices toward unity.This episode is a sacred reminder: Intense catalyst is not evidence of failure, but a sign your soul is ready for deeper expansion. You are not being punished, you're being invited to greater awareness, wholeness, and presence.✨ Continue your spiritual journey with Therese:
