I'm a bit nervous about this year's annual review. Could you share with me how you set your goals?"Zh: 美琳微微一笑，轻轻握了握莉华的手。En: Meilin smiled slightly, gently holding Lihua's hand.Zh: 她们在铺满细雪的椅子上坐下，眺望着熙熙攘攘的人群。En: They sat down on a snow-covered bench, gazing at the bustling crowd.Zh: 美琳开始讲述自己常常遇到的困难，“你知道吗，其实我也有过很多挫折。我也曾觉得过不去。”En: Meilin began to talk about the difficulties she often encountered, "You know, I've actually experienced many setbacks myself. I've also felt like I couldn't go on."Zh: 莉华惊讶地看着美琳，“真的吗？”En: Lihua looked at Meilin in surprise, "Really?"Zh: 美琳点点头。“没错。我们都有自己的压力。不过，我学会了坦然面对。重要的是我们一直在成长，无论多慢，都比停滞不前好。”En: Meilin nodded. "That's right. We all have our pressures. However, I've learned to face them calmly. What's important is that we are always growing. No matter how slow, it's better than standing still."Zh: 在这场对话中，莉华意识到，原来美琳也有过不为人知的挣扎。En: During this conversation, Lihua realized that Meilin also had her own struggles unknown to others.Zh: 她也曾经为了自己的目标而努力奋斗。En: She, too, had worked hard for her goals.Zh: 莉华觉得心里的负担被慢慢卸下，她突然感受到了一种新生的力量。En: Lihua felt the burden in her heart slowly lift, and suddenly, she sensed a newfound strength.Zh: 当她们离开外滩，夜幕已深，烟花在远方灿烂绽放。En: As they left the Bund, it was late in the evening, and fireworks blossomed brilliantly in the distance.Zh: 莉华深吸一口气，迎着寒冷的风，心中似乎充满了前所未有的信心。En: Lihua took a deep breath, facing the cold wind, and felt a newfound confidence within her.Zh: 她明白了，成功不只是达成目标，更是感受自己的成长和变化。En: She understood that success is not just about achieving goals but also about feeling her own growth and change.Zh: 每个人都有自己的旅程，每一步都是值得的。En: Everyone has their own journey, and every step is worthwhile.Zh: 走过这一年，展望新的一年，莉华带着新的视角，轻松地微笑着。En: After this year and looking forward to the new year, Lihua smiled with a new perspective.Zh: 这一次，莉华不仅仅期待年终评估的结果，她更期待着能在下一年里，继续追求自己的步调。En: This time, Lihua wasn't just anticipating the results of the annual review; she was looking forward to continuing her own pace in the coming year.Zh: 在这灯火通明的外滩，她感受到了一份宁静的满足。En: In this brightly lit Bund, she felt a peaceful satisfaction.

Fluent Fiction - Hindi: From Stage Fright to Spotlight: Reeya's Musical Triumph Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hi/episode/2025-12-25-23-34-02-hi Story Transcript:Hi: हिमालय की गोद में बसे शिमला में, सर्दियों का मौसम अपने शबाब पर था।En: In the lap of the Himalayas, perched Shimla, the winter season was at its peak.Hi: चारों तरफ बर्फ की चादर बिछी थी और हर जगह क्रिसमस की चमकती सजावट देखकर मन प्रफुल्लित हो रहा था।En: A blanket of snow lay everywhere, and the sparkling Christmas decorations all around filled everyone with joy.Hi: इसी बीच, स्थानीय स्कूल में सालाना शीतकालीन संगीत कार्यक्रम की तैयारियां जोरों पर थीं।En: Meanwhile, the preparations for the annual winter music program at the local school were in full swing.Hi: रीया, एक 11वीं कक्षा की छात्रा, अपने संगीत को लेकर बहुत उत्साहित थी।En: Reeya, an 11th-grade student, was very excited about her music.Hi: उसकी छोटी बहन, अंजलि, हमेशा उसकी हौसला अफजाई करती रहती थी।En: Her younger sister, Anjali, always encouraged her.Hi: इस बार का कार्यक्रम रीया के लिए विशेष था क्योंकि वह अपने संगीत को सबके सामने प्रदर्शित करना चाहती थी।En: This year's program was special for Reeya because she wanted to showcase her music in front of everyone.Hi: लेकिन उसके सामने एक समस्या थी – उसे स्टेज पर जाने से बहुत डर लगता था।En: But she faced a problem—she was very frightened of going on stage.Hi: साथ ही, उसके दोस्त कबीर का संगीत में नैसर्गिक हुनर उसे और भी दबाव देता था।En: Additionally, her friend Kabir's natural talent in music added more pressure on her.Hi: स्कूल के संगीत कक्ष में तैयारियों का माहौल था।En: In the school's music room, the atmosphere was full of preparations.Hi: कबीर की गिटार की धुनों के बीच रीया के अंदर की घबराहट बढ़ती जा रही थी।En: Among the tunes of Kabir's guitar, Reeya's anxiety was increasing.Hi: वह सोच रही थी कि क्या वह कभी कबीर की तरह मंच पर आत्मविश्वास से खड़ी हो पाएगी।En: She was wondering if she could ever stand on stage with confidence like Kabir.Hi: रीया ने अपने डर को दूर करने का फैसला किया था।En: Reeya decided to overcome her fear.Hi: लेकिन अंतिम निर्णय करने तक, उसके कदम हिचकिचाते थे।En: But until she made the final decision, her steps hesitated.Hi: तभी अंजलि दौड़ते हुए उसके पास आई।En: Just then, Anjali came running up to her.Hi: "दीदी, तुम बहुत अच्छा गाती हो," अंजलि ने कहा।En: "Sister, you sing very well," Anjali said.Hi: "तुम्हें अपने आप पर विश्वास करना चाहिए।En: "You should believe in yourself.Hi: कबीर तो अच्छा है, लेकिन तुम उससे भी बेहतर हो सकती हो।En: Kabir is good, but you can be even better."Hi: "अंजलि की बातें सुनकर रीया के दिल में आत्मविश्वास जागा।En: Hearing Anjali's words, confidence arose in Reeya's heart.Hi: उसने ठान लिया कि इस बार वह खुद को रुकने नहीं देगी।En: She was determined not to hold herself back this time.Hi: रीया ने संगीत शिक्षक के पास जाकर एकल प्रदर्शन के लिए अपने नामांकन का प्रस्ताव दिया।En: Reeya went to the music teacher and proposed her nomination for a solo performance.Hi: उन्होंने मुस्कुराते हुए उसकी उम्मीदवारी स्वीकार कर ली।En: With a smile, they accepted her candidacy.Hi: उस शाम, अंतिम रिहर्सल में, रीया ने पूरी लगन और आत्मविश्वास के साथ अपनी प्रस्तुति दी।En: That evening, at the final rehearsal, Reeya gave her performance with full dedication and confidence.Hi: अंजलि और कबीर, दोनों ने उसके लिए ताली बजाई।En: Both Anjali and Kabir clapped for her.Hi: रिया के मन का डर धीरे-धीरे खत्म होता जा रहा था।En: The fear in Reeya's mind was gradually fading away.Hi: जब कार्यक्रम की रात आई, तो स्कूल का सभागार दर्शकों से खचाखच भरा हुआ था।En: When the night of the program arrived, the school auditorium was packed with spectators.Hi: मंच पर पहुँचकर, रीया ने अपनी आँखें बंद की और गहरी सांस ली।En: Reaching the stage, Reeya closed her eyes and took a deep breath.Hi: गिटार की पहली धुन शुरू होते ही उसने गायन शुरू किया।En: As the first tune of the guitar started, she began singing.Hi: उसकी आवाज़ पूरे हॉल में गूंज उठी।En: Her voice resonated throughout the hall.Hi: दर्शकों ने ताली बजाकर उसका उत्साहवर्धन किया।En: The audience clapped and encouraged her.Hi: प्रदर्शन खत्म होते ही तालियों की गड़गड़ाहट उसके दिल को खुशी से भर गई।En: As the performance ended, the thunderous applause filled her heart with joy.Hi: उसके शिक्षक और कबीर दोनों ने उसकी तारीफ की।En: Her teacher and Kabir both praised her.Hi: यह वह पल था जब रीया ने अपने ऊपर गर्व महसूस किया।En: It was the moment when Reeya felt proud of herself.Hi: उसने सीखा कि खुद पर विश्वास करने से बड़ी कोई जीत नहीं होती।En: She learned that there is no greater victory than believing in oneself.Hi: उस दिन के बाद, रीया ने कभी खुद की दूसरों से तुलना नहीं की।En: After that day, Reeya never compared herself to others.Hi: वह जान गई थी कि उसकी असली ताकत उसके भीतर ही है।En: She understood that her real strength lay within herself.Hi: शिमला की सर्द शाम में, रीया के दिल में आत्मविश्वास की गर्मी महसूस होने लगी।En: In the cold evening of Shimla, Reeya began to feel the warmth of confidence in her heart.

As a longtime volunteer therapy dog and horse handler, she has served her community by connecting kids, trauma survivors, and natural disaster victims with the love and joy of a gentle, comforting animal. Jane talks about her special dog, Truman Blue, who has helped kids and adults through the aftermath of floods, tornadoes or other natural disasters or the difficult moments of facing a deadly illness.

Hi, I'm Dr. Trina Read, a Calgary sexologist, best-selling, award-winning author, and relationship expert. For 25 years, I've helped married women and couples reignite passion and connection after the honeymoon phase fades. That journey inspired me to create a new literary genre called self-help-fiction — stories that both entertain and transform. My award-winning novel, The Sex Show, was the first of its kind in the world, blending engaging storytelling with practical tools for real-life intimacy. My upcoming release, The Taboo Show, continues that mission—helping women find their voice. Through my books, masterclasses, and podcast appearances, I aim to make conversations about intimacy and relationships open, empowering, and joyful. At the heart of everything I do is one goal: helping people connect more deeply—with themselves and each other.

When the people heard of this, they followed him on foot from the towns. When he landed, he saw a large crowd, and he felt compassion for them, healing their sick. Pray that we all— you, us, our team here, and the Joshua Fund— would be moved with compassion for hurting people, those who don't know the love, hope, and healing of Jesus. Pray that the hearts of people across the Middle East and other regions are open to Jesus and that they accept Him as Lord.

About DeborahDeborah Lukovich, with a MA/PhD in depth psychology, I'm an expert in understanding and decoding the mysterious language of the unconscious. Clients come to me for all sorts of reasons, but what they have in common is a desire to access a new kind of knowing. As a Depth Psychology Coach, is also an accomplished author with her latest book When Sex Meets God https://www.deborahlukovich.com/whensexmeetsgod About When Sex Meets GodOne woman's story about surrendering to the unknown, risking judgment to seek a deeper truth, and discovering that when sexuality meets the sacred, a wild, creative force is unleashed.  Deborah's life as a mother, professional, and wife felt so perfect that the twinge of discontent confused her. Ten years later, her marriage and business unraveled, and her eleven-year-old son said he didn't want to live. Getting divorced only unleashed demons that her twenty-four-year marriage had protected her from. The younger men appeared as unexpected teachers, revitalizing her sensuality, and then a soul-stirring romance forced a reckoning deep inside her. Through the fire of erotic intensity and spiritual revelation, she shed layers of armor, embraced the sacredness of her desire, and stepped boldly into the fullness of her true self. Michael Clog's Review I wish I had found this years ago when I was struggling to learn who I was and find reasons why i should love myself. Deborah, your story taught that many others have struggled to love themselves just for being the person they are.

Wine is about the humanity.  This concept hit me on a flight home from Rome. I was watching a movie and started to weep. I realized the human soul needs passion, passion forsomething; maybe another person, maybe a lifestyle, maybe a career, but passion drives our will. And wine is full of passion. To do it right, it takes nothing less than passion. Hey there, it's Paul Kalemkiarian on Wine Talks, and in this episode, I really wanted to get personal and share how deeply humanity and humility run through every thread of the wine world at its highest levels. I open the show reflecting on a profound sense of gratitude after tasting with some top producers—it reminded me why I'm passionate about this podcast. Wine isn't just a commodity to me; it's an expression of earth, spirit, and story, and the purpose of Wine Talks is to spread that message. I also let listeners into my own little world, sharing that I've tasted 100,000 wines over the years and even built a comprehensive database (and now an AI-driven app) to catalog all these bottles. It's quirky, but it keeps me grounded in what I love. Then, I shared a special moment from a recent trip to Rome, where I had the honor of attending the Vatican for the canonization of an Armenian archbishop. It was a powerful experience—full of history, pageantry, and meaning. Of course, the promised "private audience with the Pope" wasn't exactly one-on-one selfies, but still, being there among so many was remarkable. The journey continued to Puglia in southern Italy, where I managed, despite short notice, to meet with Mark Shannon of Amano wines. Mark's story resonated deeply—an American winemaker settling in an up-and-coming wine region, driven by pure passion. We recorded a heartfelt conversation, shared great food, and I came away reminded how wine connects people at the most human level. On my flight home, I got unexpectedly emotional watching Top Gun: Maverick. It hit home how we all seek passion and escape—sometimes in movies, sometimes in travel, sometimes in wine. No matter our circumstances, that longing for meaningful off-ramps never goes away. The show then explores not only the artistry and soulfulness in winemaking, but also the nuts-and-bolts of the business—from manipulated supermarket bottles that miss the mark to innovative new packaging concepts, marketing strategies, and the challenges faced by artisans like Mark Shannon trying to access the U.S. market. I shared anecdotes about recent guests—a geophysicist connecting volcanic soils to wine character, a business-savvy marketing pro, and other passionate personalities in the wine world. I reflected on the fascinating diversity of experiences, from NBA stars getting into wine to trailblazers supporting Armenian wine in the global conversation. In the end, I emphasized why I do this: it's for the humanity, the stories, and the connections that wine brings. My hope is always to bring listeners closer to the heart of wine—whether it's a legendary Bordeaux tasting or a birthday party at my own home. It's all about sharing, learning, and feeling something real. Cheers to the humanity of wine—and thanks for joining me on this episode of Wine Talks.         #winepodcast #WineTalks #PaulKalemkiarian #winetrade #winebusiness #winetasting #humanityinwine #PugliaItaly #Armenianwine #Bordeaux #NapaValley #passionforwine #storytelling #volcanicsoil #winemarketing #appellation #Primitivo #Zinfandel #winemakers #wineculture

On this week's episode of The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast, we welcome Shannon Murphy — co-host of iHeartRadio's Mojo in the Morning show, wife, mama, radio personality, and all-around powerhouse woman! This episode is a full-circle moment for me because I first met Shannon years ago — when I was a sophomore in college — backstage at a Switchfoot concert. We instantly connected over being from Michigan (she grew up on Grosse Ile, and my grandparents lived there!) and our shared love of music and media. At the time, Shannon was just a few years into her radio career, and I was still trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. And here we are - many years later - with so many stories to tell! Since then, I've followed Shannon's career and admired her journey — from Indianapolis to Atlanta, and then back home to Michigan, where she continues to light up the airwaves on Mojo in the Morning. She's built an incredible, long-lasting career in radio and continues to inspire so many people with her authenticity, kindness, and heart for others. Beyond the mic, Shannon dedicates so much of her time and energy to giving back — supporting amazing causes like the New Day Foundation, which helps families facing cancer, and Tim Tebow's Night to Shine, which celebrates people with special needs. And so much more! (And by the way, Shannon will be performing at New Day's Celebrity Lip Sync Battle next week — so be sure to grab your tickets today!) In this episode, you'll hear: ✨ Shannon's story growing up and how she stumbled into radio; ✨ What it's really like to balance life, motherhood, and a public career; ✨ How she stays grounded, authentic, and true to herself amid life's ups and downs; ✨ Her favorite memories from her career (including that unforgettable moment on Regis and Kelly!); ✨ The causes and community work closest to her heart; ✨ And so much more!
