Podcasts about Intention

Rip sits down with Certified High Performance Coach and author Lisa Wargofchik to talk about her book, Remarkable Routines: How Daily Habits Shape a Life of Intention and Fulfillment, and why those small, seemingly ordinary choices can add up to something pretty extraordinary.Lisa spent nearly 40 years in the employee benefits and wellness world, including leadership roles at Fortune 100 companies and consulting with organizations across the country. Today, she helps people gain more clarity, build more energy, and live with greater purpose — both at work and at home.And here's the big idea: routines aren't supposed to box you in. They can actually set you free.When the good stuff is already built into your day — movement, healthy food, time for reflection, sleep, learning, even a little fun — you don't have to keep negotiating with yourself. You don't have to wake up every morning and ask, “Am I going to do this today?” You've already made the decision.Rip and Lisa talk about how we fuel our bodies, how we start and end our days, why movement matters, how to protect our time and energy, how to shape your purpose, and how a few simple routines can help keep us grounded when life gets messy.Watch the Episode on YouTubeEpisode WebpageLearn More About our 2026 Live PLANTSTRONG Events: https://plantstrongevents.com/ Let Us Help Your PLANTSTRONG JourneyLearn More About Our Corporate Wellness Program: https://liveplantstrong.com/corporate-wellness/ COMPLEMENT: Use code PLANTSTRONG for 30% off at https://lovecomplement.com/pages/plantstrong-special-offer Follow PLANTSTRONG and Rip Esselstynhttps://plantstrong.com/ https://www.facebook.com/GoPlantstrong https://www.instagram.com/goplantstrong/https://www.instagram.com/ripesselstyn/ Follow the PLANTSTRONG Podcast and Give the Show a 5-star RatingApple PodcastsSpotify

AI with intention. AI with integrity. Is it possible? Tony Frontier, author of AI with Intention, is talking about how we value learning in the age of AI. He shares the language we can use to evaluate what we're doing, how we're talking about AI, and how we're measuring learning, and ultimately, why education needs to change more than ever. Experience AI, a program co-founded by Raspberry Pi Foundation and Google DeepMind, sponsored this podcast episode. All opinions are my own. http://experience-ai.org I also open this show with some highlights from the Report of MIT's Ad Hoc Committee on AI Use in Teaching, Learning, and Research Training and what it means for learning, and they use a term I think we should all be discussing: cognitive surrender. We cannot let our kids cognitively surrender and let AI do the work for them. They also talk about helping students understand that their learning, integrity, and judgment are the product of college, not the grades. So many challenges we have now, but this week has been about sharing the conversations and thought leaders to help you improve the AI conversation in your school. I hope this Thursday helps you be a thought leader in your school!

This sesh starts with dispensaries, sticky flower, budtenders, and our plans for Cannabis School........and somehow ends with us examining our emotional baggage. You know, the usual.We talk about why cannabis is better as a shared experience, the difference between reacting and responding, and what happens when your intentions collide with somebody else's perception. Sometimes the person in front of you isn't the enemy. Sometimes you need to back the fuck up, look at the whole situation, and get curious about what is actually happening.We also get into:The good, bad, and frustrating parts of Utah dispensariesWhy knowledgeable budtenders make such a differenceSupporting more strain and product reviews through PatreonThe upcoming Cannabis School courses and student experienceOur completely necessary “Brandon the Medicine Man” gameCannabis as a tool for slowing down and becoming more presentMental-health medication, side effects, and our personal experiencesSleep, food, routines, therapy, and building better habitsUsing “detach” as a safe word when an argument gets heatedThe gap between perception and intentionLooking at yourself objectively without turning reflection into shameCarrying old trauma into new relationshipsNeil Strauss, The Truth, and the three-second ruleWhy curiosity can teach you more than judgment ever willThe big takeaway: you are the common factor everywhere you go. When something triggers a reaction, pause before deciding who is right or wrong. Step outside yourself, look at the situation from a wider perspective, and ask why you responded that way. You may not like every answer—but at least now you can do something with it.Thank you to everyone supporting Cannabis School on Patreon.

What if your body knows what you want before your mind can explain it? Artist, photographer, movement teacher, and Permission Project creator Elizabeth “Liz” Janowski joins Elaine to explore why authentic inner knowing often begins below the neck—and how freeform movement can help you hear it.Liz shares how motherhood led her back into her body, why desire is a life-giving force, and how years of social conditioning can make women override their own yeses and nos. You'll discover simple ways to slow down, notice sensation, use touch and music intentionally, and create enough inner safety to recognize what feels true for you.This conversation invites you to stop outsourcing your knowing, treat your body as a trusted partner, and reconnect with the clarity, coherence, pleasure, and self-trust that become available when mind, body, and spirit are aligned.Topics Covered (with timestamps)0:00 What if your body already knows the answers you're searching for?3:55 Three conscious breaths, the episode Intention, and noticing Divine signals in the body7:35 Why freeform movement is not about learning dance moves—it's about authentic expression9:07 “The body knows first”: desire, social conditioning, and learning what you actually want10:24 How motherhood led Liz to movement and the creation of the Permission Project13:00 Using the body as a receiver for intuition, inner knowing, and “warmer/colder” guidance15:34 Liz's definition of abundance: alignment and coherence of mind, body, and spirit18:55 The body stories women carry—and how pleasing others can drown out your authentic response21:01 Why safety, slowness, and embodiment can expand the story you hold about yourself24:31 Coming home to the body in a screen-driven world—and expressing your unique yes26:16 Touch, self-validation, and creating the feeling you want from within28:56 Two simple practices to hear your body: sensory pleasure and making space to feel32:34 How listening to your body can reduce reactivity and reveal what is really happening33:39 Liz's music-compilation gift for dropping into your body and clarifying desire37:04 A final reminder: give yourself grace, listen a little more, and bring your body to the partyKey Takeaways (Skimmable Wins)Your body may register a true yes or no before your thinking mind has words for it.Desire is not something to suppress; it can be a life-giving signal that helps you recognize what is aligned for you.Freeform movement creates a way to express emotions and experiences that may be difficult to reach through thought alone.Self-trust grows when you create enough safety and quiet to notice sensation instead of automatically responding to other people's needs and expectations.Small sensory choices—comfortable fabric, warm water, affectionate touch, music, rest—can help you rebuild an intimate relationship with your own preferences.Abundance can be experienced as coherence: mind, body, and spirit arriving at the same wholehearted yes.Step-by-Step Process SharedCome Home to Your BodyCreate signals of safety → slow down, get comfortable, reduce expectations, and give yourself space to feel.Notice what feels good → pay attention to texture, temperature, taste, touch, music, beauty, and other sensory cues.Let yourself feel what is present → rather than immediately managing or overriding emotion, give it room to move through you.Listen for the yes and the no → notice what expands, contracts, excites, settles, or feels distinctly “not for me.”Express what you discover → move, reach out, ask for affection, have the conversation, or make a choice that honors your authentic response.Listen to the episode for Liz's lived examples and Elaine's reflections on using the body as a receiver for inner guidance.Questions Answered in This EpisodeHow can I tell what my body is trying to communicate before my mind talks me out of it?Why do so many women lose touch with what they genuinely want?How can freeform movement help emotions and inner knowing become easier to access?What does abundance feel like when mind, body, and spirit are aligned?What are simple ways to begin rebuilding trust, pleasure, and connection with my body today?Pull Quotes“I actually think the body knows first.” — Liz Janowski“Abundance is being in alignment with your mind, your body, and your spirit all in one place.” — Liz Janowski“Just to remember that you have a body is already a success in itself.” — Liz JanowskiFree GiftShare what you Loved and what you Learned from this episode to Download the Spiritual Alignment & Conscious Actions Guide — your roadmap to reconnect with The Divine, raise your vibration, and live as the woman your soul designed you to be.TheAbundanceJourney.com/Contact — click the Share My Thoughts button and complete the Google form to automatically receive your free gift.Guest GiftLiz shares a series of short music compilations designed to help you drop into your body, listen more deeply, and begin moving with your desires.

This week on Oversharing, Jordana and Dr. Naomi are clearing out their algorithms, and maybe a little mental clutter along the way. They start with a listener struggling with mom rage, parental burnout, and the guilt of hitting her limit, and discuss why lowering the bar can sometimes be the healthiest thing you can do. Then, a newly pregnant Betchisist wonders how to share pregnancy news with a best friend struggling with infertility without expecting her to fake an excited reaction. An Intention tackles acne insecurity, self-acceptance, and the anxiety around starting Accutane, especially when a scary treatment could finally bring some much-needed relief. In Triggered, a listener with combined finances in her marriage wants to know why her husband gets all the credit when their money picks up the dinner bill. Finally, Jordana and Dr. Naomi debate a surprisingly complicated question: Is volunteering still a good deed if you're only doing it for your résumé? Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, the post-eclipse dust settles into more structured, deliberate Virgo energy. August closes, and September opens with two powerful back-to-back transits. Monday: Jupiter in Leo trines Saturn in Aries, meaning we get to close the month with one of the most genuinely supportive and expansive transits of August. (We deserve it after the eclipse season madness) Then Mars in Cancer squares Saturn in Aries and friction arrives that asks us to review what it is that we may have been rushing toward. The week brings a powerful green light and a reality check in the first 48 hours. How we navigate both sets the tone for the rest of the month. We also celebrate the craft and intention of Virgo season with Founder of Violet Flame Choclates, Katrina Markoff. After redefining luxury confections through her first brand Vosges Haut-Chocolat with global spices and cultural reverence, Markoff turned inward to create Violet Flame: a deeper concentration of craft and consciousness. --- Violet Flame Chocolate:  https://violetflamechocolate.com https://www.instagram.com/violetflamechocolate   --- All Things Cardsy B www.cardsyb.com   www.instagram.com/CardsyB   Last Days of Eclipse Sale: https://www.cardsyb.com/private-sessions    The "We made it through Eclipse Season sale" 30% off any reading with checkout codeIMADEIT *can be used for any future date but must be purchased by Aug 31

Hello to you listening wherever your feet touch the ground! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.   Bernard Moitessier sailed around the world single-handed to win the first Golden Globe Race but when the reward was within his grasp he turned away from it and kept sailing for another three months because to keep on the original route (Plymouth to Plymouth) was like “leaving from nowhere to go nowhere.” [The Long Way by Bernard Moitessier]  Winning this race had no connection with Moitessier's true goal which was to “reach a point in space and consciousness that would enable him to bear witness to the beauty and complexity of the natural world. And to glimpse, however briefly, the sort of person he might become if he permitted himself to cross a kind of international dateline of the soul and merge with those things.” In the end he realized what many of us come to know in time: the journey itself was the destination. Story Prompt: What if the intention of an endeavor is to forge a connection inside yourself? What if the reward to the endeavor lays not in the result to which you were ostensibly striving but in the simple doing of the thing? Write that story and share it out loud!

Drew Dillon is a tech founder and product leader, centered in the Bay Area. He is a person who likes to do a bit of everything, having an engineering background, but spending time in design, sales, and product management. He's been a part of many startups - Yammer being one of them, and several others from Y Combinator - along with being a consultant and fractional CPO. Outside of tech, he has 2 kids that take up most of his time. When he isn't on the sidelines of a soccer game, he enjoys woodworking and reading a good sci-fi book. At a prior startup, Drew built a system using AI, which spit out something reasonably shaped. He took a look at the process he went through to create it, and realized that there are a ton of disparate parts, all separate from the shared organizational context - IE the "why" behind what is being built. He set out to change that, and built institutional memory and product judgement within AI agents. This is the creation story of Brief. SponsorsTiger DataProtected HarborRenderLinkshttps://briefhq.ai/https://mymoxieai.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/drewdil/Checkout our episode stacks on Stacklist! https://stacks.codestory.co/ Hosted by Noah Labhart | Technical Founder & Startup Mentor.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Right boot always first. Specific outfit on day one. The mix tape. Julie was intensely superstitious as a kid competing with horses — and she can now see exactly what that was about. This episode unpacks the difference between superstition, ritual, and intentional belief anchors, why they look identical from the outside but work completely differently on the inside, and how to tell which one you're actually running before you get to the line.

In this episode of The Good Life EDU Podcast, we welcome Bill Bass, an award-winning educator, author, and national leader in instructional technology and literacy, for a conversation about how school and district leaders can thoughtfully navigate AI implementation. Bill serves as Innovation Coordinator for Parkway School District in St. Louis and has held leadership roles with ISTE and the National Council of Teachers of English. Rather than framing AI as something schools either fully embrace or completely avoid, Bill encourages leaders to begin by understanding their local context. He shares the importance of gathering input from teachers, students, families, IT staff, and community members in order to understand current practices, concerns, capacity, and attitudes toward AI. The conversation explores the difference between AI policy and AI guidance, including why districts may benefit from broader emerging technologies policies that can remain relevant as tools continue to evolve. Bill also shares why guidance should be practical, contextual, and connected to a district's existing values, such as a portrait or profile of a graduate. Andrew and Bill also discuss the urgency of helping students develop thoughtful experiences with AI now, while they are still supported by educators who can help them ask better questions, make mistakes safely, and think critically about the implications of using or not using these tools. Later in the episode, Bill emphasizes that no one needs to position themselves as an AI expert. Instead, educators and leaders can create space for honest conversations about how AI is being used, what safeguards are in place, and how schools can tell their own story before someone else defines it for them. The episode closes with a preview of Bill's upcoming work with Nebraska educators around the NCTE guidance for AI in English language arts, including how national-level guidance can support classroom-level decisions and help teachers make AI-related conversations more actionable.

The Powerful Truth About Building Wealth With IntentionWhat does it really mean to build wealth without losing yourself in the process?In this episode of the Say Yes Anyway Podcast, Jess sits down with wealth strategist and Live Wealthy author Dawn Dahlby for a powerful conversation about money, purpose, values, financial freedom, generosity, and what it means to live a wealthy life.Dawn shares why building wealth isn't only about increasing your bank account. It's also about building internal wealth, understanding your values, creating financial alignment, and recognizing when you have enough.Together, Jess and Dawn unpack the mindset shifts that can change the way you approach money, including letting go of scarcity, making intentional decisions, and taking action before you feel completely confident.Dawn also shares how she left hospitality at 30, entered financial planning, and pushed through a difficult first six months before believing she had made the right decision. Her story is a reminder that sometimes you have to say yes before you have all the answers.In This EpisodeBuilding internal and external wealthWhy financial and emotional wealth both matterDiscovering what "enough" means for youMoney, values, purpose, and alignmentTaking action before confidenceMaking financial decisions based on your valuesGenerosity and building wealthHow scarcity affects our relationship with moneyThe difference between a budget and a spending planHow wealth can create more opportunities to giveKey Takeaways✨ Wealth is more than money. True wealth includes the internal work of managing your thoughts, emotions, and responses while building financial wealth.✨ Your money should reflect your values. Your financial decisions should support the life you actually want to live.✨ You don't have to believe in yourself before you begin. Sometimes belief comes after you take the first step.✨ Generosity is part of wealth. Financial freedom can create opportunities to give your money, time, and resources in meaningful ways.✨ Your version of a wealthy life is personal. Financial freedom isn't about someone else's definition of success. It's about creating the freedom to live according to what matters most to you.Faith, Money & PurposeDawn shares how her Christian faith shapes her view of money and generosity. For her, financial success isn't simply about accumulating more. It's about having the freedom to live fully, support the people you love, give generously, and make choices aligned with your values.Connect With Jess

What do you do when your body says, “Ouch”? Do you immediately stop because you're afraid something is wrong? Or do you ignore it, push through, and hope it goes away? Pain can feel scary and confusing—especially when you're trying to heal, get stronger, or return to activities you love. But pain isn't always a simple stop sign. Pain is communication. And communication needs interpretation. In this episode, we're talking about shifting the way we respond to pain. Instead of immediately fearing it or ignoring it, what if we learned to get curious about what our bodies are trying to tell us? Because listening to your body doesn't always mean stopping. Sometimes it means adjusting. Sometimes it means resting. Sometimes it means getting help. And sometimes it means realizing you're okay to keep going. In This Episode We Explore Why we tend to either fear pain or ignore it Why pain doesn't always equal damage How factors beyond an injury can influence the pain experience Why the behavior of your pain can give you useful information Questions to ask yourself when something hurts The difference between normal exercise challenge and ignoring your body's signals A simple green-light, yellow-light, red-light way to think about symptoms How modifying a movement can help you learn more about what your body needs Why connection and body awareness can build confidence instead of fear Why This Matters When something hurts, it's easy to immediately think: “Something is wrong.” But it's also easy to swing too far in the opposite direction and decide: “I'll just push through it.” Neither response leaves much room for listening. Learning to pay attention to what you're feeling, when you're feeling it, how long it lasts, and what changes it can help you make more intentional decisions about movement. The goal isn't to become afraid of every sensation. And it isn't to ignore your body's signals in the name of getting stronger. It's learning the difference between challenging your body and ignoring your body. The Big Takeaway The next time something hurts during movement, instead of immediately asking: “Is this bad?” Try asking: “What is my body asking me to notice right now?” Then: Pause. Notice. Adjust. Reassess. Maybe your body needs you to change the range, load, speed, position, or breath. Maybe it needs recovery. Maybe it needs professional evaluation. Or maybe after checking in, you realize you're okay to continue. Listening doesn't always mean stopping. It means responding. And the better you become at listening, the more confidently you can make decisions about your body. Ready to Understand the Bigger Picture? If you've been listening to the last few episodes, you're probably noticing a theme: I don't want you endlessly searching for someone to give you the perfect exercise. I want you to understand the body you're actually living in. That's a huge reason I created Healing Beyond Kegels. Pelvic floor symptoms aren't simply problems we throw exercises at. Your breath, pressure, core, movement, strength, stress, nervous system, and the rest of your body are all part of the conversation. Healing Beyond Kegels is designed to help you zoom out, connect those dots, and start understanding your body differently. It's coming soon, and I can't wait to share it with you. Until then, remember: Connection first. Intention over perfection.

What does it actually take to lead AI transformation inside a global industrial enterprise, and do it with both technical rigor and radical humanity?In this episode of B the Way Forward, host Brenda Darden Wilkerson sits down with Ambica Rajagopal, Group Chief Data and AI Officer at Michigan, where she leads enterprise-wide data strategy to optimize manufacturing, services, and industrial operations through advanced analytics and AI. Ambica has built her career transforming large-scale organizations across pharmaceuticals, energy, and manufacturing, and her through-line has never been the technology itself. It has always been the people.In this conversation, Brenda and Ambica dig into what happens when the urgency of AI meets the human cost of change, why empathy is the most underrated technical skill, what a brutal performance review 15 years ago taught Ambica about the difference between expertise and leadership, and why she believes the most courageous thing a woman in tech can do right now is invest in her own resilience.This is a conversation about clarity, transformation, and what it really means to make your path the evidence of the change you believe in.Connect with Ambica on LinkedInWe Learned About:Why empathy, not speed, is the real foundation of successful enterprise AI deploymentThe critical distinction between self-expression and authenticity, and why getting it wrong costs you influence in the roomAmbica's leadership mantra "Clarity wins the day" and what it actually looks like to apply it inside high-stakes, fast-moving organizationsHow a 15-year-old performance review that said "your team doesn't like you much" became one of the most transformative moments of her careerThe difference between being a journey person and a goal person, and why knowing which one you are changes everything about how you leadChapters:0:00 Introduction & Season Theme1:00 Meet Ambica Rajagopal, Group Chief Data and AI Officer2:30 Why Empathy Is the Only Way to Get AI Transformation Right5:30 Empathy as Active Common Ground, Not Passive Sympathy7:00 What Has Remained Constant Across Industries: Clarity and People10:00 How Ambica Stays Grounded When Performance Metrics Are Always On11:00 Meditation, Mental Space, and the "Room of One's Own" Framework13:30 Has Leading with Balance Ever Cost You Anything?15:00 The Shift from Showing Up as an Expert to Showing Up as a Leader17:30 Journey Person vs. Goal Person: How Ambica Defines Her Own Motivation19:30 When Personal Transformation Gets Tested the Most20:30 The Performance Review That Changed Everything23:00 Vulnerability in Leadership and Why It Takes More Courage Than Being Right24:30 Authenticity vs. Self-Expression: A Framework Worth Knowing27:00 Who Is Most at Risk of Burnout in the AI Era30:00 Advice for Early-Career Women in Data Science Who Are Already Exhausted32:00 Building Resilience and Finding Your Sources of Courage33:30 What Integrity in Leadership Actually Looks Like34:30 "Make Your Path the Evidence of the Change You Believe In"36:00 Closing Thoughts: People Always Come Before the Technology#BTheWayForward #WomenInAI #AITransformation #EmpathyInLeadership #WomenInTech #DataAndAI #TechLeadership #CourageToTransform

In this episode, Lisa continues the deep work of intentional weight loss by expanding the conversation around anger, shame, rupture, repair, innocence, and internal safety. She revisits the previous episode's teaching on allowing anger without withdrawing love, showing how this becomes essential when you “blow past a boundary” or act out of alignment. She connects this to couples therapy, pets, children, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), illustrating how conflict is not a red flag; the absence of repair is. Lisa then explores the cultural conditioning around impact vs. intention, contrasting how society often punishes impact while internal healing requires honoring intention. She shares personal stories to show how innocence, intention, and misunderstood power shape self‑trust.Topics Include:Anger is AllowedShame SpiralsIFSSelf Trust[1:30] Lisa teaches that moments of anger or disappointment are inevitable, and the work is allowing those emotions without collapsing into shame. She describes how judging yourself after a misstep is like pouring gasoline on a fire, creating an unsafe internal environment that undermines long‑term goals. She frames tender self‑compassion as the stabilizing force that restores safety, connection, and alignment after moments of misalignment.[6:16] Lisa shows that both rigid diet‑culture judgment and anti‑diet avoidance bypass honest acknowledgment of tension, and she reframes conflict as a healthy part of self‑relationship. She uses practical analogies to normalize the coexistence of anger and love, teaching listeners to maintain connection with themselves while addressing the consequences of their actions.[11:09] Lisa teaches that every internal part is well‑intentioned and fundamentally good, echoing Dick Schwartz's IFS framework. She shows that approaching parts with curiosity rather than shame creates the internal safety required for real change, and she reframes intention as the key to collaboration.[20:36] Lisa shares how external judgment once framed her as unsafe to help others while recovering from disordered eating, and how she reclaimed trust by returning to her own benevolent intention. She illustrates how culture teaches people to fear their own power; the work is not eliminating that power but learning to channel it safely.[46:40] Lisa explains how pity masquerading as compassion or people‑pleasing masquerading as kindness can derail healing by imitating the real thing. She teaches that healing requires transformed consciousness, not the avoidance of behaviors that once accompanied shame.[49:01] Lisa warns against rejecting supportive behaviors just because they resemble past unhealthy patterns, emphasizing that the energy behind the action is what matters. She reframes the old diet‑culture mantra “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels” into “nothing tastes as good as staying in alignment with myself feels.”[49:57] Lisa teaches that actions like eating a salad, skipping dessert, or tracking calories only gain meaning from the energy behind them. She shows how the same behavior can be self‑punishment rooted in shame or self‑care aligned with long‑term values.[53:42] Lisa explains that when she views her intention as good, she becomes someone she can work with; when she sees herself as guilty, she becomes someone she cannot trust.[1:04:50] Lisa explains that food noise exists on a spectrum and that true freedom is not the absence of thinking about food but the absence of fear around structure and accountability. She uses the near‑enemy lens to reveal how equating structure with dieting or accountability with shame blocks healing.⁠Join Us on Patreon!⁠ ⁠LISA IS NOW ACCEPTING: One-on-One Clients!⁠⁠⁠Purchase the OOTC book of 50 Journal Prompts⁠⁠⁠⁠Leave Questions and Feedback for Lisa via OOTC Pod Feedback Form ⁠⁠Email Lisa: ⁠⁠lisa@lisaschlosberg.com⁠⁠⁠⁠Out of the Cave Merch⁠⁠ - For 10% off use code SCHLOS10Lisa's Socials: ⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠⁠

A student inside the Health Mindset Coaching Certification asked Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas a simple question: why isn't the theory of planned behavior taught in HMCC? Her answer gets into the intention-behavior gap, the academic debate over one of psychology's most cited theories, and why she teaches something different instead.In this episode, she covers:Why the theory of planned behavior doesn't show up inside HMCC, even though its three components (attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control) are worth understandingThe intention-behavior gap, and why a big shift in intention rarely produces a big shift in actual behaviorThe academic debate over whether it's "time to retire the theory of planned behavior," and how the original researcher respondedWhy perceived behavioral control is really just self-efficacy, and how that shows up throughout HMCCThe behavior change theories she teaches instead, from the transtheoretical model to self-determination theoryIf-then planning as one simple, research-backed tool for closing the gap between intention and actionWhat to do the next time a client says "I know what to do, I just don't do it"If you've ever had a client say they know exactly what they should be doing and just aren't doing it, this episode is for you. Connect with me on Instagram!LEAVE A REVIEW, WIN A WORKSHOP!

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with award-winning author and global marketer Jobert E. Abueva to discuss his transformational book, The Janus Plan: A No-Resolutions Path to Begin Your Year with Intention. Ever wondered why 90% of New Year's resolutions crash and burn by "Quitter's Day"? What if the secret to breaking free from soul-crushing burnout isn't making more empty promises, but standing at life's thresholds with dual vision? From waking up immobilized in a Hong Kong hotel room at the peak of a high-flying corporate career to discovering the ancient wisdom of the two-faced Roman god Janus, Abueva reveals how confronting your past with brutal honesty can completely reshape your future.

Julie shares some of her own feng shui experiences, from removing predatory animal artwork from her son's playroom to using mirrors to redirect the energetic flow of abundance through her home.They also explore Julie's intuitive perception of cash-flow energy entering through the front door, why clutter can affect far more than cleanliness, and how changing your physical surroundings may help create space for something new.Dana shares remarkable stories from her own life as well—from unusual childhood spiritual experiences and a family connection to psychic phenomena to helping clients radically transform their lives and businesses.One client went from facing eviction to receiving a $500,000 business investment within weeks of beginning the process.If you've ever wondered whether your home affects your money, energy, manifestation, relationships, or ability to move forward, this conversation will have you looking at every room differently.Guest Biography:Dana Claudat is a modern Feng Shui Master and Founder of The School of Intention - a School and a Method of Feng Shui based on Infinite Possibility, Creative Awakening and Intention.

Das Chaos im gesellschaftlichen Bewusstsein nimmt gerade wieder eine Intensität an, die unser Nervensystem kaum prozessieren kann, ohne sich darin zu verdrehen und zu verlieren.

“If we continue to build for people and not with people, we won't have a say in what this technology will look like or do in ten or twenty years.” — Salima Bhimani Finally some inventive news in our summer of Luddite discontent. Salima Bhimani spent six and a half years at Google X's moonshot factory as its first Chief Strategist for Responsible Tech. So thank her for the (responsible) magic of Alphabet's Waymo, Wing, and DeepMind. In her new book, Invent Now, Bhimani provides a map for the next wave of moonshots. No, she speculates, they probably won't come out of Silicon Valley. But, yes, they will come from somewhere. Her invention was formed long before Silicon Valley. She remembers staring at the Toronto subway from her father's magazine stall and wondering not where the trains went but “what is our relationship to this tube?” An ethnographer by training, Bhimani arrived at Google X from a world of government and nonprofits where “constraint was bread and butter.” At Alphabet, of course, she was spoilt with endless money and runway. Although that didn't always guarantee moonshot success. Moonshots fail, she explains, because they are always more than technologies. They are ecosystems, and they need the approval of regulators, communities, and consumers. Take, for example, the abortive Sidewalk Labs, Alphabet's smart-city bet in her hometown of Toronto, which failed to recognize the practical realities of utopian city-planning. So what will be the most dramatic moonshot of the twenty-first century? No, she says, it probably won't be consumer rocketships to Mars or a cure for cancer. Instead, it will be about a post-labor society. What is human purpose when it's not work? No wonder such an outrageous idea probably won't come out of work-obsessed Silicon Valley. Five Takeaways •       A Nuanced Optimist. Bhimani isn't surprised by the Luddite lurch: people feel “compressed by things they can't control,” surrounded by technology doing things they don't understand — and it's hot out. But against thirty years of Silicon Valley boosterism she offers neither cheerleading nor despair: hold the tension. Technology surveils, and drones make war; technology also lets more people solve problems that were previously unsolvable. She refuses the binary of the moment — the abundance gospel of the Andreessens versus the scarcity warnings of James Crawford — predicting instead “abundance in some areas and scarcity in others”: your spreadsheet skills may become worthless precisely as your capacity to build becomes unprecedented. The task is holding both truths with what she calls a discerning eye, treating technology as a co-partner in a relationship where the friction stays alive.•       From the Toronto Subway to the Moonshot Factory. Her father ran a magazine stall in the Toronto subway, and young Salima stared at the trains asking an ethnographer's question: not where are the people going, but “what is our relationship to this tube?” She came to Alphabet from government and nonprofits, where “constraint was bread and butter” — and met the opposite: endless money, endless runway, and audacity as the house style. As Alphabet's first Chief Strategist for Responsible Tech, she sat with the CEOs of the Other Bets asking about trade-offs: “Are you willing to take on the potential that your drone could be used in nefarious ways — and how are you gonna ensure that doesn't happen?” Now on her own — no Google badge to fly doors open — she finds leaving “opens up the aperture”: fifty-one years of experience, and both worlds, constraint and abundance, informing everything she builds.•       She Folded Her Own Moonshot. The episode's quiet bombshell: after leaving Alphabet, Bhimani co-founded a drone-detection company — and discovered what it feels like when the awkward questions are aimed at you. The full-stack solution she was building could genuinely help cities and communities; it could also be used for “all kinds of nefarious things.” Intention, she warns, is “pie in the sky when people actually are impacted”: the moment to map the worst case is now, not five years after your technology is loose in the world — because you will have to live with the choices you make. Some people can live with the range of implications; she and her co-founders decided they couldn't: “We folded our drone company because the implications are not something that any of us could have lived with.” Responsible tech, practiced on herself.•       Moonshots Are Ecosystems (Ask Sidewalk). The factory's deepest lesson: a moonshot is never just a technology. Wing isn't drones — it's regulators, safety, and whether communities want packages falling on their porches; the ecosystem must come first, not at the last mile. Sidewalk Labs — Alphabet's smart-city bet in her own Toronto — consulted widely, meant well, and died anyway on public distrust of big tech's data appetite: an early tremor, Andrew suggests, of today's earthquake against data centers, and evidence of a “massive gap” between society and technology that still hasn't closed. Google fumbling Geoffrey Hinton's generative breakthrough shows the other constraint: inside a company the size of a country, innovation must also become the next billion-dollar business. The counterexample is Waymo — sixteen years of perseverance toward John Krafcik's bigger mandate (self-driving technology, cars merely one expression) — and perhaps Demis Hassabis, whom the latest reshuffle might just free “to be Demis.”•       Step In, Not Stepped Out. AI wasn't born yesterday — it spent thirty or forty years in labs, integrated into our lives in the background — and that incubation is precisely her warning: “If we continue to build for people and not with people, we won't have a say in what this technology will look like or do in ten or twenty years.” The large language models belong to “the Googles and the Anthropics,” and most of us aren't inside those companies. Her flip: if such powerful things were built in incubated spaces, imagine what could be built in unincubated ones — collective intelligence as our superpower, moonshots born from the convergence of places, people, and contexts rather than from Silicon Valley's playbook. The century's biggest moonshot, she suspects, is labor itself: what is human purpose when it's not work? Her closing instruction, and the episode's stamp: “We gotta step in and not be stepped out.” About the Guest Salima Bhimani, PhD, was Alphabet's first Chief Strategist for Responsible Tech, Business, and Leaders, working for six and a half years with moonshot companies including Waymo, Wing, DeepMind, and Google X. An ethnographer by training who came to Silicon Valley from government and nonprofits, she is now CEO of 10X Responsible Tech and a senior fellow at AI 2030. Invent Now: The Next Leap in Moonshots (John Wiley & Sons, 2026), her first book, introduces the Third Space — a new lens for building moonshots from the convergence of technolog...

So what if your planner wasn't a list of everything you're behind on? What if it was a vision board for the week ahead?

The guidance you've been searching for may have been with you all along. The real challenge is learning how to recognize Divine wisdom beneath fear, overthinking, and the pressure to get everything right.In this joyful conversation, Elaine Starling welcomes author, spiritual instructor, angel communicator, and modern mystic Ann Albers to explore the powerful connection between self-love and Divine guidance. Ann shares the extraordinary path that took her from engineering to more than 30 years of communicating with angels, along with the simple principle she uses to evaluate guidance: does it genuinely resonate?You'll discover why self-love is not about being positive all the time, how self-acceptance helps you naturally rise into greater alignment, and why relaxing your mental grip makes it easier to receive the next inspired impulse. Ann also shares a practical way to tune into the vibration of love before asking for guidance, plus remarkable stories about manifestation, trust, grief, joy, and letting The Divine handle the HOW.Topics Covered (add timestamps if available)• 0:00 How do you know whether you're receiving Divine guidance or listening to fear?• 2:40 Connecting with The Divine through breath, Intention, and shared energy• 8:02 From engineer to angel communicator: Ann's unexpected spiritual path• 11:34 The simplest test for guidance: Does it resonate?• 13:28 Why Ann defines abundance as happiness• 16:52 Why “you cannot listen when you're talking” applies to your busy mind• 18:46 Intention, Grateful Curiosity, and Celebrating in Advance• 19:57 Ann's remarkable $44,152 manifestation story• 22:11 Why we make Divine co-creation harder than it needs to be• 24:41 Self-acceptance as the foundation of self-love• 26:39 What self-love really means when you're sad, angry, grieving, or struggling• 30:33 Trusting that life can ultimately work on your behalf• 31:27 Why Divine guidance arrives “now, now, now” instead of as a five-year plan• 34:35 Two practical steps to receive clearer guidance• 37:16 Ann's free weekly Messages from Ann & the Angels• 39:53 Ann's simplest invitation: Find something you love and do it• 42:25 Playfully trusting The Divine in ordinary life• 46:45 The incomprehensible amount of love available to youYouTube tip: These timestamps can double as Chapters.Key Takeaways (Skimmable Wins)• You are the ultimate authority in your own life. Even spiritual guidance should resonate, feel inspiring, or feel naturally right to you.• Self-love begins with self-acceptance. You do not have to deny sadness, anger, grief, or frustration in order to be spiritual or receive guidance.• When you have done what you know to do, stop mentally spinning and “delegate up.” A relaxed mind has more room to receive a new thought, signal, or impulse.• Love, joy, appreciation, and kindness help tune you to the frequency on which Divine guidance is easier to perceive.• Guidance is often immediate and organic. The next right step may seem completely unrelated to the solution your mind is trying to manufacture.• Grateful Curiosity turns your relationship with The Divine into a playful partnership instead of a problem-solving struggle.• There is more love and support available to you than you can comprehend — and the more you receive, the more there is to receive.Step-by-Step Process SharedAnn's “Get in the Vibration of Love” Guidance Practice1. Accept yourself exactly where you are. → Acknowledge what you are feeling without judgment. Self-acceptance is already an act of love.2. Temporarily set the problem aside. → Stop trying to force the answer so your mind has room to listen.3. Think of someone or something you genuinely love or appreciate. → Choose anything that naturally opens your heart.4. Feel the love in your body. → Relive why you love that person, animal, memory, experience, or even a favorite treat.5. Let go of the object and stay with the feeling. → Rest in the vibration of love itself.6. Ask your question and notice what comes first. → Trust the first feeling, thought, image, or inner impulse that arises.Listen to the episode for Ann's lived examples of using these principles with manifestation, grief, decisions, money, unexpected problems, and everyday spiritual guidance.Questions Answered in This Episode• How can I tell the difference between fear, mental noise, and genuine Divine guidance?• What caused Ann Albers to leave engineering and begin communicating with angels professionally?• What does abundance mean when you begin with spiritual alignment instead of external circumstances?• Why is self-acceptance so important when I want my outer life to change?• How can I hear guidance more clearly when I'm worried, grieving, angry, or overwhelmed?• Why does trying harder sometimes make spiritual guidance harder to receive?• What can I do right now to tune into the vibration of love before asking for direction?• How can I make my relationship with The Divine more playful, trusting, and practical?Pull Quotes“You're the authority in your own life.” — Ann Albers“Self-love is truly accepting that you're a Divine being, no matter what's going on at the surface.” — Ann Albers“Get in the vibration of love first.” — Ann AlbersFree GiftFree weekly newsletter from Ann & the Angels — Messages from Ann & the Angels offers inspiration, channeled angelic wisdom, personal stories, and practical tips to help you deepen your connection with spirit and apply spiritual principles in everyday life.• https://www.visionsofheaven.comShare what you Loved and what you Learned from this episode to Download the Spiritual Alignment & Conscious Actions Guide — your roadmap to reconnect with The Divine, raise your vibration, and live as the woman your soul designed you to be.https://www.TheAbundanceJourney.com/Contact — click on the Share My Thoughts button.

#445 In this podcast episode, Guy talked with listeners about surrender and what it meant to trust that something greater was guiding life beyond what the mind could understand. He explained that surrender was not just an intellectual idea, but something that had to be embodied through real experiences, the body, and the heart. He shared how an intense childhood experience with mushrooms and a later ayahuasca ceremony brought him face-to-face with fear, control, and the need to fully let go. Guy reflected that the real magic was not the ayahuasca itself, but the reverence, intention, trust, and willingness to surrender that he brought into the moment. He also shared a story of traveling to Dubrovnik without plans and how staying open allowed everything to unfold beautifully, encouraging listeners to trust, let go, and move through life with more courage and openness. ====================  Guy's Official Partners  The DNA Company – Get 10% Off https://thednacompany.com/letitinpodcast  FLFE – 2 Week Free Trial (No Credit Card Required) https://www.flfe.net/rp-affiliates.php?p=LiveInFlow&w=TryFLFEfree ====================  Referenced in This Episode Paul Chek Robert O.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. Recently, my dear friend and fellow Camino pilgrim Dennis Pitocco posted an essay entitled Why Is Presence the Most Radical Act of Love? Click HERE to read that essay and HERE for more of his thought-provoking pieces on Exploring Our Shared Humanity, his Substack banner.    The gist of the essay is that our mindful attention to another is a radical gift—so rare as to be almost extinct. What does it cost us to be mindfully attentive to another? Nothing apart from putting aside our self-centeredness and shifting into whole-heartedness. This change in behavior cannot be legislated into practice, like requiring the wearing of seatbelts in a moving vehicle. It does require a shift in us, in a culture that has all too easily been swayed by the siren call of the swipe on a handy device.     Here's a favorite paired exercise I've used for decades while teaching my story skills courses. Each partner is asked to spend one minute talking about something neutral, like their name following a prompt. The listener's job is to listen—with appreciation. When asked, “How did it feel to be listened to uninterrupted, for 60 seconds?” the responses are universally the same: I felt seen, heard, understood, listened to, calm, present, significant, smiled upon, and valuable. All that from 60 seconds of presence. And the intention to Be. Here. Now. Imagine if we could make the time to offer another the gift of our whole-hearted presence. We might turn fear into love, conflict into solutions, isolation into relationship, and more as we can imagine it all taking shape in ourselves, our homes, our neighborhoods, our communities. My teacher, the Venerable Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh taught four mantras to help change us and change others: 1. Dear one, I am here for you. 2. Darling, I know you are there, and I am so happy 3. Dear one, I know you are suffering; that is why I am here for you 4. Dear one, I am suffering. Please help. Imagine if someone said these words to you with the intention to Be. Here. Now. Imagine if you could ask for help from another—and receive it to ease your suffering. As I write this podcast episode I'm reminded of the song, Imagine by John Lennon. Click HERE to listen to him in 1975 Click HERE to read the lyrics of the song, Imagine CTA: Having been fortified to give it a go to Be. Here. Now. do so. First for yourself and then another. And another. And another. Imagine what might happen next.     YOU'RE INVITED: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, subscribe & spread this episode  with a generous 5-star review & comment—it helps us all—& join us next time!

Most of us have had the experience of looking at our spending and deciding, I need to stop doing that. Maybe it leads to a no-spend challenge, cutting out a particular category, or setting a new rule for ourselves. Sometimes that works for a while. But if we never understand what was behind the spending in the first place, it can be difficult to make the change last. In this episode of The New Money Habits Podcast, Nino Villa and Maria Casillas explore a different approach: mindful spending. Rather than beginning with rigid rules about what you should or shouldn't buy, they look at the beliefs, emotions, and purpose underneath the way we spend. Sometimes the spending we feel guilty about isn't actually the problem. We may simply be carrying an old belief about how much we should spend without considering our family, priorities, or circumstances. Other times, the same purchase can serve very different purposes. A meal out might be an unplanned convenience one day and an intentional opportunity for connection another. Looking only at the number misses part of the story. As the conversation unfolds, Nino and Maria explore how to recognize the stories we tell ourselves about money, identify the areas where we actually want our habits to change, and understand why we spend the way we do. Because lasting change usually requires more than changing a behavior for a few weeks. It requires understanding what's driving that behavior in the first place. The goal isn't necessarily to spend less. It's to become more intentional about when, where, and why you choose to spend.

This week, Pete shares with Jen some lessons he has learned from his swimming coach, on how to measure progress...by stopping the measuring. Specifically, in this episode Jen and Pete talk about: Why might our existing tools actually hinder our forward momentum? Where might we be able to rely on ourselves more, rather than searching for external validation?  Why is it important to go slow, in order to go fast?   More from us in your inbox.

The Dalai Lama suggests that we check in with our spiritual practice every ten years or so. Using the 18th anniversary of teaching as a jumping off point, Mary checks in with where spiritual practice can lead and what it may look like. It's not about achieving a particular goal, but about how we show up in the world and recognize our shared humanity.Recorded Aug. 15, 2026 in the virtual worldBhikkhu Bodhi article: A Challenge to BuddhistsSend me a text with any questions or comments!

Imagine it's 1812. Your family is out of water, and your next drink comes from a river, creek or shallow well. You have no idea what happened upstream.Modern water treatment helped end that reality and drove a historic decline in infectious disease. Today, the question is: What remains in the water we drink every day?We examine microplastics, PFAS, lead pipes, nitrates, chlorination byproducts, pesticides, private wells and the association researchers found between golf-course proximity and Parkinson's disease. Then we go deeper into structured water, EZ water, minerals, movement, sunlight, prayer and whether intention can influence water and living systems.Listen in to understand your local water, choose filtration based on what you need to remove and bring more intention to something you consume every day.SOURCES AND RESOURCESClean water and mortality:https://cutler.scholars.harvard.edu/sites/...Tap water, wells and health:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38649043/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37356308/https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1719...https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6...https://awwa.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/a...https://www.epa.gov/ground-water-and-drink...https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26691115/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39837568/https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...https://www.usgs.gov/publications/quality-...https://www.usgs.gov/mission-areas/water-r...Golf courses and Parkinson's:https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetwo...Intention, blessed water and living systems:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16979104/https://journalofscientificexploration.org...https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34887234/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32507494/Check your local water:https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/Filtration system mentioned:https://www.waterboysolutions.com/If this conversation gave you something to think about, subscribe, like the video and share it with someone who has never seriously asked what is in their water.
