How can a 22 day silent retreat at a Buddhist monastery transform trauma, mindset, and daily productivity? In this episode of Productivity Smarts, Gerald J. Leonard sits down with  Laurie S. Jacobson, certified health coach, motivational speaker, and author of Unexpected Awakening: 22 Days at a Buddhist Monastery Freed Me from Abuse, for a powerful conversation on transformation, resilience, and holistic productivity.  Laurie shares her raw and inspiring journey of leaving an emotionally abusive marriage at age 43 and finding unexpected refuge in a silent meditation retreat at a Buddhist monastery. What began as a one week stay stretched into 22 days due to a snowstorm and ultimately changed the course of her life. Through silence, mindfulness, Buddhist teachings, and compassionate human connection,  Laurie experienced profound shifts in awareness, self trust, and purpose. Together, Gerald and  Laurie explore how silence sharpens listening and emotional intelligence, why productivity breaks down when mental and emotional blocks go unaddressed, and how small baby steps can dissolve feelings of being stuck. They discuss habit stacking, trusting the process like a GPS rerouting, and why integrating mind, body, and spirit leads to sustainable productivity beyond rigid to-do lists and short term motivation. The conversation also dives into how meditation helps surface repressed emotions, how consistency outperforms inspiration, and why a strong why is essential for long term health, creativity, and meaningful change.  Laurie explains how habits naturally piggyback across physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions, creating momentum while preventing burnout and overwhelm. If you are interested in turning adversity into growth, building mindful habits, or redefining productivity through holistic well being, this is a must listen.   What We Discuss [00:00] Podcast introduction [02:01] Introduction to   Laurie S.

What if spiritual growth isn't about belief, manifestation, or bypassing reality — but about understanding how reality actually works? In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with Sarah Elkhaldy, mystic, teacher, and host of Mystery Teachings on Gaia, for a clear, rigorous conversation about free will, karma, destiny, and spiritual evolution. Sarah explains how ancient mystery teachings were designed to initiate real changes in consciousness, not to comfort or inspire. Together, they explore how free will operates between fate and karma, what sovereignty truly requires, and why responsibility is central to spiritual growth. This conversation bridges mysticism and natural law, offering a grounded framework for understanding evolution beyond spiritual aesthetics. They also discuss the concept of homo luminous, the next stage of human evolution, and why presence in the simplest moments can become a profound initiation when awareness is fully engaged. Throughout the episode, Emily and Sarah examine discernment, embodiment, and why not all spiritual paths lead to the same outcomes. This episode is for anyone who feels called to move beyond inspiration and into a deeper understanding of how consciousness evolves through choice, presence, and responsibility. Key Moments 00:00:00 — Free will, fate, and karma explained through natural law 00:03:40 — What mystery teachings were actually designed to do 00:07:14 — Free will as the space between destiny and karma 00:12:50 — Childhood mysticism, imagination, and early initiation 00:16:04 — Presence as spiritual practice (the tea teaching) 00:19:22 — Human evolution and the concept of homo luminous 00:24:58 — Why not all spiritual paths lead to the same outcome 00:31:10 — Discernment, responsibility, and conscious initiation 00:38:40 — What sovereignty actually requires in daily life 00:46:15 — Integrating mystery teachings in the modern world 00:54:30 — Embodiment, service, and living the teachings 01:01:40 — Closing reflections on evolution, choice, and awareness Where This Work Continues If this conversation resonated, especially around sovereignty, discernment, and embodied awareness, this is the kind of inquiry explored inside Ziva Level 3.

In this episode, Molly sits down with Miriam Fisher, a Richmond-based immigration attorney, entrepreneur, and author of Mom's a Lawyer, to share how narrowing her focus to 100% immigration law unlocked clarity, efficiency, and growth. Miriam breaks down the metrics that guided her pivot, the leadership growth required to scale, and how she integrates family life into business with intention and authenticity. Key Takeaways: Transitioning from a general practice to a niche focus in immigration law can significantly improve efficiency and profitability. Integrating family life into professional endeavors can enrich both personal fulfillment and career success. Continuous personal growth and leadership training are crucial for managing a growing team and achieving long-term business goals. Active community involvement and authentic marketing strategies help create a strong brand presence. Clearly defined goals and open communication with the team foster a unified direction and a healthy, dynamic work environment.   Quote for the Show: "We realized that it was actually hurting our profitability to be spreading ourselves across different practice areas. And when we actually isolated by practice area, by case type, it was very, very clear that immigration was more profitable for us for a couple reasons." - Miriam Fisher    Connect with Miriam: Website: https://airingtonlaw.com/ Book: https://www.momsalawyer.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lawyer-like-a-mother/ Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/miriam.airington.3/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lawyerlikeamother/  Links: Join our upcoming masterclass: https://thelawfirmleader.com/ Website: https://hiringandempowering.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hiringandempowering Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiringandempowering LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hiring&empoweringsolutions/ The Law Firm Admin Bootcamp + Academy™ : https://www.lawfirmadminbootcamp.com/ Get Fix My Boss Book: https://amzn.to/3PCeEhk   Ways to Tune In: Amazon Music - https://www.amazon.com/Hiring-and-Empowering-Solutions/dp/B08JJSLJ7N Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hiring-and-empowering-solutions/id1460184599 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3oIfsDDnEDDkcumTCygHDH Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/show/hiring-and-empowering-solutions YouTube - https://youtu.be/58Dpka514L0 

Send us a textMastering Financial Clarity with The Three Bucket System (Plus One!)In this episode of The Retire Early Retire Now podcast, host Hunter Kelly, a certified financial planner and founder of Palm Valley Wealth Management, discusses the importance of having a clear financial purpose and introduces a framework called the 'Three Bucket System' with an additional bonus 'Legacy Bucket.'

In this episode of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, Shannon sits down with Amy Jaggers, a coach and retreat leader who is building a soul-led retreat business while still working full-time. Amy shares how she helps professionals step off autopilot and reconnect with balance, clarity, and purpose through meditation, mindfulness practices, retreats, and wellbeing circles. She opens up about what it really looks like to grow a retreat business alongside a demanding career — including boundaries, time management, and integrating her "soul work" into her corporate role. Together, Shannon and Amy discuss long-term vision, retreat center dreams, the power of visualization, and why retreat leaders must invest in their own development before leading others. This episode is especially powerful for retreat leaders who are still in a full-time job but feel deeply called to build something meaningful and sustainable on the side. Key Takeaways You can build a retreat business while working full-time — with structure and boundaries. Integrating wellbeing and mindfulness into your day job can strengthen both worlds. Visual planning, time blocking, and templated systems are essential for sustainability. Soul-led work doesn't require quitting your job overnight — small, consistent steps matter. Investing in your own training and leadership development is non-negotiable as a retreat host. Long-term visions (like owning a retreat center) are built through patience and intention. Familiarity with your retreat location is a key marker of responsible leadership. About Amy Jaggers Amy Jaggers is a coach and facilitator who helps professionals turn awareness into meaningful action through coaching, meditation, retreats, and facilitated circles. Her work creates intentional space for individuals to pause, reconnect, and step off autopilot, supporting greater balance, clarity, and purpose.

In this episode of Longevity by Design, host Dr. Gil Blander sits down with Dr. Ronjon Nag, Adjunct Professor in Genetics at Stanford School of Medicine and President of the R42 Group, for a wide-ranging conversation on how artificial intelligence is reshaping health, medicine, and longevity science.Ronjon makes the case for systems thinking as a necessary framework for understanding aging, arguing that health emerges from complex interactions rather than isolated interventions. He explains how objective data—ranging from blood biomarkers to wearable-derived signals—can be integrated to guide better decisions, cut through conflicting health advice, and personalize interventions. The discussion also explores how AI is becoming a foundational tool, increasingly as ubiquitous as spreadsheets, enabling researchers, clinicians, and individuals to organize, connect, and interpret fragmented health data.The conversation then turns to AI's expanding role in drug discovery, personalized health insights, and ambitious efforts such as vaccines targeting aging biology. Along the way, Ronjon examines both the promise and the limitations of these approaches, emphasizing why interdisciplinary, data-driven methods—and clear thinking about causation, risk, and uncertainty—are essential for extending healthspan and improving long-term outcomes.Guest-at-a-Glance

There's a specific kind of frustration that shows up for high-capacity leaders. You know what you want. You've thought it through. You've made the decision consciously. And yet… you still hesitate. You still circle the same choice. You still feel slower than you “should” be. In this episode, I name what's actually happening and it's not procrastination, fear, or self-sabotage. It's something I call identity lag. Identity lag happens when your life starts moving faster than your nervous system can comfortably integrate. Your mind may be clear, but your body is still catching up to who you're becoming. In this conversation, I share: Why feeling “stuck” is often a sign of integration, not failure How high-capacity leaders experience identity lag more intensely The difference between intuition and nervous system stress Why clarity isn't always the missing piece — and what actually is How shifting from self-monitoring to leadership and contribution can unlock movement again I also share personal stories from my own life — moments when everything was aligned on paper, yet my nervous system reacted with hesitation and fatigue right before stepping into something meaningful. If you've ever told yourself: “I should be past this by now” “Why does this feel harder than it should?” “What's wrong with me?” This episode is here to gently take the pressure off. Nothing is wrong with you. You're not behind. Your system may simply be integrating a new level of responsibility, visibility, or truth. And that deserves support — not force. Resources Mentioned:

Events are one of the few channels where sales and marketing can show up together, face-to-face, and create real trust.And yet, many event programs are still planned and measured like isolated moments. So it's no surprise they struggle to earn long-term credibility.In our first live episode of 2026, Matt sits down with MacKenzie Grant (Senior Director of Marketing, Experiences at Enverus) to unpack what changes when events are designed as part of a broader go-to-market strategy—one that supports the full buyer journey, aligns teams, and connects creativity directly to business outcomes.Rather than focusing on aesthetics or one-off wins, the conversation explores:✅ How event programs gain momentum when they're integrated across sales, marketing, and customer teams✅ Why creativity thrives when accountability is shared, not imposed✅ Where AI actually helps event teams extend impact (without stripping away trust or human connection)This isn't about adding more to your plate. It's about finally making sense of how events fit into the work you're already doing.Join us live to rethink how events support growth—before the next show gets planned the same way as the last one.----------------------------------Connect with MacKenzie GrantLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mackenziemgrant/Connect with Matt KleinrockLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-kleinrock-9613b22b/Company: https://rockwayexhibits.com/

In this episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, Sean V. Bradley sits down with Gina Anguilla of CallSource for a conversation that challenges how most dealerships think about their service department, and the role the Service BDC plays behind the scenes. Not only that, we uncover if you're missing out on thousands of dollars of potential revenue! "Fixed ops should be 65% of the dealership's overall revenue. And if you're doing it the right way, your fixed ops revenue should cover 100% of all of your operational expenses." – Sean V. Bradley This isn't a surface-level discussion about appointments or scripts. It's a deeper look at how service operations, customer communication, and long-term retention quietly determine whether a dealership thrives or struggles. Sean and Gina explore why treating service like a silo is costing dealers more than they realize, and why the smartest operators are starting to rethink the entire ecosystem! "Having a service BDC ensures that there's a managed process for keeping communication timely, efficient, and effective with your guests." – Gina Anguilla From overlooked touchpoints to missed opportunities hiding in plain sight, this episode shines a light on the side of the dealership that truly keeps everything moving. If you've ever wondered why some stores build loyalty effortlessly while others constantly chase new customers, this conversation will make you stop and listen! "We are bringing an ecosystem that drives consistent and predictable service revenue by improving customer retention, communication, and engagement." – Gina Anguilla Because when service works the right way, everything else follows. Tune in… this one might change how you see your dealership. ps.

She started her career at Dealer Synergy, where she honed her skills in automotive telephony and BDC (Business Development Center) management. Currently, Gina is affiliated with CallSource Automotive, a company renowned for improving service departments through call tracking and management. Her expertise lies in the strategic implementation of outbound and inbound communication processes that enhance customer service and retention in the automotive service sector!   The Critical Role of Service BDC in Optimizing Dealership Performance In the ever-evolving automotive landscape, dealerships must juggle various operational aspects to remain competitive. Among these, the importance of an effective Service Business Development Center (BDC) stands out. Integrating a service BDC addresses multiple dealership challenges, optimizing revenue and enhancing customer satisfaction. This thought leadership article delves into the core aspects of setting up and maintaining a successful service BDC, as highlighted in a recent discussion between Sean V. Bradley and Gina Anguilla. Key Takeaways Efficient service BDCs are pivotal for maintaining dealership revenue and customer satisfaction. Utilizing a specialized service BDC allows dealerships to manage appointment scheduling better and improve CSI scores. Outsourcing the service BDC can alleviate managerial burdens and enhance call handling effectiveness. The Imperative of Service BDC for Dealership Revenue Dealerships have various revenue streams, and fixed operations, including servicing, play a vital role. As Sean V. Bradley points out, "Nada says that fixed ops should be 65% of the dealership's overall revenue." This highlights the monumental contribution that the service department can make to the dealership's financial health. Yet, not all dealerships are equipped with an efficient service BDC to maximize this potential. Bradley argues that a well-structured service BDC can ensure that "more service appointments" get scheduled, aligning them with customer convenience rather than the commission-driven schedules of service writers. Expanding on this, Gina Anguilla notes that service departments are the "bread and butter" of dealerships. By focusing on the customer's needs rather than solely on sales, dealerships can foster an ecosystem that thrives on customer loyalty and repeat business. The repercussions of neglecting a service BDC are far-reaching. Without it, dealerships may struggle to manage operations effectively, thereby compromising customer satisfaction and potential revenue. Emphasizing a holistic approach, Bradley states, "You need to have both sides. You can't be at the gym and just working out your arms." This analogy underscores the need for a balanced focus on both sales and service components. Streamlining Service Scheduling to Enhance Customer Satisfaction A key function of a service BDC is managing service appointments efficiently. The traditional approach often results in service writers scheduling appointments based on their convenience, which is not always customer-centric. Bradley highlights, "A lot of times service writers don't make appointments for service that's the most convenient for the prospect." By employing a service BDC, dealerships can prioritize the customer's convenience, leading to enhanced Customer Service Index (CSI) scores. Anguilla emphasizes, "Having the service, having a BDC or a scheduling department… is the best way to make sure that your customers are serviced, that they're heard." Beyond just ensuring appointments are made, a service BDC facilitates a proactive approach to managing customer needs and dealership goals. By separating responsibilities between inbound scheduling and outbound service reminders, as Anguilla suggests, dealerships can ensure both immediate coordination and long-term customer retention goals are met. Outsourcing: A Strategic Move for Efficient BDC Operations For many dealerships, managing a BDC in-house can become daunting. Recruitment, training, and maintaining staff involve substantial ongoing efforts and financial investment. Outsourcing the BDC emerges as a strategic alternative, as indicated by Bradley and Anguilla. Outsourcing eliminates the need for dealerships to continually manage human resource challenges, allowing them to focus resources on core business activities. Bradley articulates this benefit, noting, "If you're not a service BDC expert, why are you going to fumble through it?" Instead, specialized outsourced BDC services, like those from CallSource, can provide reliable management and expertise. Moreover, outsourcing partners are often equipped with advanced technologies and training programs that in-house teams may lack. Anguilla echoes this sentiment by emphasizing that outsourced services ensure the management of "communication, connection retention" without the dealership bearing the brunt of those tasks. This approach not only improves the efficiency of call handling but also ensures consistent customer communication and service delivery. Building a Future-Ready Service BDC To build a successful service BDC, dealerships should begin by assessing their current service call handling capacities and identifying where improvements can be made. Sean V. Bradley and Gina Anguilla provide a pathway forward, where dealerships embrace a structured approach to both inbound and outbound service communication strategies. Introducing a service BDC begins with focusing on the core — efficient service scheduling. From there, expanding into proactive outbound communications such as service follow-ups and management of declined repairs ensures a comprehensive contact strategy. With these foundational elements, dealerships position themselves to improve customer retention and operational efficiency, driving long-term profitability. Increasingly, dealerships recognize that expert partners, equipped with advanced technology solutions and proven strategies, offer valuable support. By outsourcing service BDC operations, they leverage specialized expertise that enhances both customer experience and dealership revenue. With clear benefits in efficiency, cost, and performance, embracing a service BDC — whether through in-house teams or specialized partners — is an investment in a dealership's future success. In the competitive arena of automotive sales and service, a robust Service BDC model is no longer a luxury; it's a necessity for thriving in today's market.     Resources + Our Proud Sponsors: ➼ The Millionaire Car Salesman Facebook Group: Join the #1 Automotive Sales Mastermind Facebook Group with over 29,000 automotive professionals worldwide.

In this episode, the Grace Current delves into the complexities of our internal world, exploring how our past experiences shape our emotional responses and coping mechanisms. She emphasize the importance of recognizing the different parts of ourselves, particularly the 'exiles'—the painful emotions we often suppress. By understanding these parts, we can begin to integrate them into our lives, allowing for healing and transformation. The conversation highlights the significance of curiosity and compassion in navigating our emotional landscape, encouraging listeners to approach their feelings with gentleness rather than judgment.Grace introduces the concept of the 'eight C's'—clarity, connection, courage, curiosity, creativity, calm, compassion, and confidence—as essential qualities to cultivate in our journey towards self-understanding and spiritual growth. They stress that our spirit-led self is at the core of our being, and by inviting Jesus into our stories, we can find healing and purpose. The episode concludes with a call to action for listeners to stay curious about their emotions and to embrace the transformative power of self-compassion and understanding.Chapters00:00 Exploring the Internal World01:16 Understanding Managers and Exiles05:48 The Impact of Childhood Experiences08:25 The Eight C's of Self14:25 Connecting with the Spirit-Led Self17:31 The Invitation to Transformation23:54 Integrating Pain and Anger28:52 Integrating the Parts of Ourselves32:48 The Role of Curiosity in Healing42:26 Inviting Jesus into Our Stories54:00 Transforming Through Compassion and Understanding59:39 the-breaker

This conversation explores the complex and deeply human relationship between gut health and mental wellbeing. Srinivas Kamath shares insights from his research into the gut–brain axis, unpacking how hormones, stress, medication and diet intersect at the microbiome level. We discuss the limitations of current mental health treatments, the growing promise of prebiotics, and why personalised medicine may be the future of emotional and cognitive care. The episode also looks ahead to emerging research in longevity, GLP-1 therapies and the role of the gut in neurodegenerative disease, offering a grounded yet hopeful view of where this science is heading. Key Takeaways The gut and brain operate in constant two-way communication, influencing mood, cognition and emotional regulation. Chronic stress and elevated cortisol can compromise the gut lining, contributing to inflammation and so-called leaky gut. Female hormones shape the microbiome across the lifespan, and gut health in turn affects hormonal balance. Understanding an individual’s microbiome opens the door to truly personalised approaches to mental and emotional health. Many psychiatric medications alter the gut microbiome, which may explain common side effects and variable outcomes. Prebiotics play a foundational role in supporting a resilient and diverse microbiome.For most people, prebiotics are more effective and sustainable than probiotic supplementation alone. GLP-1 is central to appetite regulation, gut signalling and broader metabolic and mental health pathways. The vagus nerve acts as a key communication highway between the gut and the brain.Gut microbiome research is rapidly evolving, with more questions than definitive answers at this stage.

In this episode we sit down with Dr. Kendhal Hart, clinician, educator, author and trauma expert who has spent years refining how Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can be brought together in a structured, relational, and highly usable way. Dr. Hart's work helps therapists move beyond seeing these models as separate tools and toward an integration that honors both clinical structure and the lived experience of clients. A central theme of our conversation is how couples therapy can be relational, safety-focused, and bring in elements of trauma and parts. We also reflect on making therapy more accessible for people with diverse nervous systems and learning styles — specifically how clinicians can be taught more specific about strategies in IFS to help them understand concepts of direct access and Self. Dr. Hart is the author of Treating Trauma with EMDR and IFS: A Clinician's Guide to Integrating Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy with Internal Family Systems, the first full-length book dedicated to this integration.

Its' a New Year and new energies are afloat. As we make our way into a new cycle, I want us to consider how to be more alive.I know that may sound strange seeing as we are alive now, but many of us are moving through life with a torch of fear.Fears show up in many ways - anxieties, worries, phobias...but all fear is connected to the ultimate fear - the fear of death.Even if you are not afraid of dying, listen in on how fear controls our lives and relationships and what we can do to have a difference experience of reality.Think: meeting your higher self. Being connected to Spirit. Integrating beliefs. I wish you a very happy and prosperous New Year, and thanks for tuning in! Thanks for listening!

It's the most talked-about drug in a generation, but do we actually understand how it works? This week, we are joined by Dr. Alexandra Sowa, author of The Ozempic Revolution, to pull back the curtain on the GLP-1 phenomenon. We move past the Hollywood headlines to explore how these medications are fundamentally changing our understanding of biology, willpower, and chronic disease. Whether you are considering the medication, are already on it, or are a skeptic, Dr. Sowa's evidence-based approach offers a roadmap for navigating this new era of metabolic health. The biology of weight: Why it was never just "calories in, calories out." How GLP-1s work in the brain and gut to reset the body's "set point." The stigma of "the easy way out" and why we need to change the narrative around obesity. Dr. Sowa's "SoWell" approach: Integrating medication with nutrition and long-term metabolic health. What the future of medicine looks like in a world where obesity is treated as a hormonal condition.

On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I'm rejoined by psychiatrist and Harvard professor Dr. Chris Palmer for a conversation that challenges how we've been taught to think about mental illness. For decades, psychiatry has focused on managing symptoms—often without asking what's actually driving them. We discuss a different way of understanding mental health, one that looks beyond diagnostic labels and considers how whole-body biology influences brain function, resilience, and recovery.  Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. In this conversation, we explore: • Why mental illness is rising alongside obesity, diabetes, and other chronic diseases • How whole-body biology influences mood, focus, and emotional resilience • The link between inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and conditions like depression and bipolar disorder • How nutrition, testing, and lifestyle changes can support real recovery If mental health has ever felt close to home for you or someone you care about, this conversation is meant to offer clarity, compassion, and a place to start. This episode was recorded live at the Eudēmonia Summit, a conference exploring the future of health, longevity, and well-being. Learn more at eudemonia.net.

Conflict, suffering, and global instability aren't framed as failures of the system here, they're revealed as catalysts for awakening, testing whether we respond with fear or clarity.We also address why spiritual bypassing keeps people stuck, how vulnerability functions as a stabilizing force rather than a weakness, and why embodiment — not dissociation — is required for real spiritual maturity.If you've felt unsure how to stay grounded, this episode offers clarity.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[02:22] What vulnerability reveals about transformation in the present[08:44] Alec's dream about his grandfather revealed the movement from 3rd to 4th density consciousness[15:19] The Buddha in Red Face story[21:11] Integrating masculine and feminine energies increases the strength of both rather than diminishing either[32:52] When Edmund discovered The Law of One[42:53] The eight densities of consciousness [53:01] Practicing love during division without falling into spiritual bypassing[01:10:01] Why those in service to self are actually serving us by offering opportunities to choose love[01:20:05] How the veil of forgetting and free will allow us to remember our true nature as creators[01:43:58] Distinguishing your own essence from external noise through stillness and Steiner's practices[01:57:35] Why true forgiveness becomes unnecessary when we understand our projections[02:17:16] Why we cannot return to tribal ways and must move forward with new forms of conscious community[02:39:30] What the Germanic and Slavic epochs reveal about humanity's progression from individual thinking to soul-warmed communityRelated The Way Forward Episodes:Beyond Verbal Autists, Telepathy & The Nature Of Thought with Melissa Jolly Graves | YouTubeSoulstice Magic, 13 Holy Nights & Neurogenic Qigong featuring Lara Day | YouTubeMemoirs of a Child Sex Slave: Quest For Love featuring Anneke Lucas | YoutubeResources Mentioned:Law of One | WebsiteBe Here Farm + Nature | WebsiteBeing Human Event | WebsiteBuddha in Redface by Eduardo Duran | BookTranscendent Sex by Jenny Wade | BookThe Red Lion by Maria Szepes | BookMutant Message Down Under by Marlo Morgan | Book or AudiobookClick here to enroll in the 2026 season of Being Human.

In today's Daily Shift, we pause to integrate the work that's been unfolding over the past several episodes. So often, healing is measured by speed or visible change — but real growth happens when awareness settles into the body. Integration doesn't look like constant movement or perfection. It shows up in small moments: pausing before reacting, choosing self-compassion over criticism, honoring boundaries, and responding with intention instead of habit. This episode is a reminder that noticing more doesn't mean you're going backward — it means your nervous system is learning a new way of being. In this episode, we explore: Why integration is a vital part of healing How slowing down supports nervous system regulation The difference between growth and pressure What it means to move forward with presence, not urgency A gentle reminder from today's shift: You're not behind You're learning to integrate awareness into daily life Real change takes root through presence Take a breath and allow this moment to land. There's nothing you need to catch up to.
