Podcasts about Intention

Today our guest is Jenice Pizzuto, Implementation Training Specialist at CharacterStrong. We dive into why change is both personal and emotional, and how implementation science gives leaders a roadmap for turning intention into lasting impact. If you've ever adopted a new initiative only to watch it fade, this conversation will help you understand why, and what to do differently. In this episode, we answer critical leadership questions about implementation: Why do new initiatives fail even when the idea is strong? What is the difference between a theory of change and a change theory? Who should be on an implementation team? Why should implementation goals focus on adult behavior first?

Send Steve a Text MessageStuck playing the same licks but not getting better? This conversation maps a clear path from autopilot to intentional practice so your limited time turns into visible progress and real confidence on the fretboard. We unpack how to set precise goals, track your growth, and build pillars of skill that stack into the kind of player you actually want to be.We start by separating maintaining from improving, then show how to convert vague aims like “learn scales” into exact targets such as clean alternate picking through pentatonic position one at a set tempo. From chord transitions that ring true to timing that locks with a click, we focus on micro goals you can measure. You'll hear practical tactics: slow practice to expose flaws, isolation drills to fix them, and short recording check-ins to keep you honest. We also talk daily structure—why warm-ups are maintenance, not growth—and how to theme practice days around technique, creativity, theory, or fretboard visualization.Overwhelm is a real blocker, so we tackle information overload and the myth that you must learn everything at once. If your next milestone is expressive blues, you don't need sweeps tomorrow; you need bend intonation, vibrato, and note targeting over I–IV–V. We walk through using the CAGED system to see the neck, connecting shapes with purpose, and planning backward from your 90‑day goal. Then we fit it all to your time budget with a simple loop: define, drill, apply, reflect. When you focus on less, you progress more—and motivation follows.If you're ready to turn practice into proof, hit play and bring a notebook.

Most people don't fail because they lack opportunity. They fail because they never fix their purpose.   In this powerful episode of The Abundance Mindset, Vinney (Smile) Chopra and Gualter Amarelo break down one of the most misunderstood — yet life-changing — principles from Think and Grow Rich: Fixity of Purpose.   Vinney shares his personal journey from arriving in the U.S. with just $7 to building a billion-dollar real estate portfolio, and why deciding once — and refusing to turn back — made all the difference.   This episode dives deep into:

There's a version of career advice that's all hustle. Post more. Submit more. Network harder. And look, that stuff matters. But there's something most acting coaches don't talk about, and it might be the thing that's actually keeping you stuck. Your inner world runs your outer results. In this episode, Peter Pamela Rose goes deep on the spiritual side of building an acting career, not in a woo-woo, burn-a-candle way, but in a real, practical, what-do-you-do-on-a-Tuesday-morning way. Five points to cover. Let's get started. Start the Year with Intention, Not Panic A lot of actors kick off a new year in a quiet state of dread. Will I book anything? Will I get reps? Is it going to be like last year? Intention sounds different. It sounds like: this year I choose grounded confidence. I choose courage. I choose to show up. Intention sets the emotional weather of your year. You still do the practical work. But now it sits inside something that actually supports you. And if you don't claim the energy of your year, your fear will do it for you. Strengthen Your Muscle of Choice When you practice making conscious choices, small ones, daily ones, you start building real faith. Not just faith in the universe, but faith in yourself. Maryanne Williamson says every thought creates form on some level. That's not abstract. That's a daily practice. Ask for Guidance Like It's Part of Your Training You wouldn't skip a vocal warmup. So why treat spiritual support like an afterthought? Spend a few moments each day asking: show me the next right step. Help me see what I am not seeing. Over time the static quiets. Ideas start arriving. Trust the quiet nudges that don't make sense yet. That's usually where the next opening lives. Choose Courage Over Comparison Comparison drains your spiritual battery faster than almost anything else. When you scroll and compare, you forget you are on your own curriculum. Courage sounds like: I bless their journey and I stay on mine. The industry responds differently when you are not silently begging it to prove your worth. You cannot build your career and obsess about someone else's at the same time. Show Up with Grounded Energy Casting directors, directors, producers, they feel your energy long before they assess your resume. Meditation, journaling, prayer, whatever your practice is. It is not the extra. It is the continued practice. A steady inner life makes you harder to shake in the room and on tape. A grounded actor is an unforgettable actor. Enjoyed This Episode?

We've reached the part of the year where January motivation fades. Luckily, we get another reset! In this episode, I'm breaking down the Lunar New Year, the symbolism of the Fire Horse, and what this year represents energetically. We talk about movement versus direction, independence versus emotional avoidance, and how to build disciplined momentum instead of chaotic hustle.

Isvari Maranwe on Impact-Focused Activism, Citizen Journalism, and Rebuilding Social MediaAmy Pons, founder of Unlock the Magic, interviews Isvari Maranwe—Silicon Valley–raised tech leader and Georgetown-educated cybersecurity attorney—now based in London. Isvari is CEO and founder of YuVoice, a new social media company designed to reward users for tangible impact rather than a follower-driven influencer model, and CEO of The Sentinel by YuVoice, a nonprofit, ad-free, non-paywalled citizen journalism platform building an all-volunteer global press corps. They discuss the tension between professional success and the emotional toll of social justice work, the importance of boundaries, and prioritizing empowering people who want to make a difference over trying to convince those who won't. Isvari shares her view that only about 1% of people truly shape society for good, making it critical to change social defaults and focus energy where it creates measurable impact. Isvari explains that YuVoice has closed a $1 million angel round and will launch in phases with nonprofit partners, focusing on “anti addictive algorithms” and mentally healthy design. The Sentinel's mission is to break global news through local perspectives: “We believe that everybody can tell their story the best.” They critique for-profit media incentives and argue, “media needs to be a nonprofit.” 02:22 What's on Your Heart: Success, Privilege & Staying Resourced03:54 Stop Convincing the Unmoved: Empower the 1% Who Shape Society06:35 From Righteous Rage to Real Impact (and Posting with Intention)13:00 Why Outrage Doesn't Translate to Action (and What Might)18:32 What Happens When No One Wants the Baton?

Music reaches your brain fast! It activates memory, movement, emotion, and connection in seconds.In this episode, host Dr. Krystal L. Culler, DBH, MA, sat down with Shannon Wallace, CDP, CDC, creator of Musical Memory Care to explore how music functions as a whole-brain and body workout. We focus on one powerful idea—the “time of your life” effect.Research shows the music you loved between roughly ages 13 and 27 leaves a lasting imprint. Those songs shape identity. They anchor memory. They often remain accessible even during cognitive change.Shannon shares how she moved from professional jazz vocalist to serving older adults in memory care communities. What began as singing for residents evolved into an intentional, research-informed program that integrates rhythm, movement, emotional expression, and identity support.We explore:Why time-of-life music remains accessible in dementia How music activates the limbic system and supports emotional regulation The role of rhythm in movement, including Parkinson's support Why intentional facilitation matters in memory care settings How music supports dignity, identity, and human connection Practical ways you can use music today for brain healthYou will hear real-world stories from Shannon's work in memory care. Stories of individuals who had not spoken in years yet responded to music. Stories of rhythm supporting walking and daily tasks. Stories that reinforce this truth. Music is not entertainment alone. It is a neurological tool.If you are a caregiver, clinician, or family member supporting someone with cognitive change, this conversation gives you some practical suggestions. Play their music, not yours. Use rhythm to support movement. Build playlists rooted in their adolescence and young adulthood. Intention matters.If you are focused on your own brain health, start here:Create a “time of your life” playlist Use music to regulate mood and stress Pair rhythm with movement for exercise Share meaningful songs to deepen social connectionMusic does not require perfection. It asks for presence.About Shannon Wallace, CDP, CDC Shannon Wallace is a professional international jazz vocalist and the creator of Musical Memory Care, an interactive program serving active older adults and individuals living with all stages of dementia.

Kaddish is a prayer asking that Hashem's Name shall be recognized, revered and glorified throughout the world. When we answer to the Hazzan, "Amen, Yeheh Shemeh Rabba," we are essentially joining in this prayer, affirming that we, too, pray and yearn for the time when G-d's Name will be great. The Rabbis teach that during our period of exile, G-d's Name is "incomplete," as it were, consisting only of the first two letters – Yod and Heh. This is indicated in Hashem's pronouncement following the war against Amalek, "Ki Yad Al Kes Y-ah" (Shemot 17:16) – that as long as Amalek has yet to be defeated, and evil still exists in the world, G-d's Name is "Y-ah," consisting of only two letters. In the future, the Vav and the second Heh will be added to complete the Name. The Hazzan thus begins Kaddish with the words "Yitgadal Ve'yitkadash," which together consist of eleven letters – an allusion to the letters Vav and Heh, which have the combined number value of 11. "Yitgadal Ve'yitkadash Shemeh Rabba" is a prayer that G-d's Name shall be "completed" through its glorification among all peoples on earth. We therefore proclaim in our response to Kaddish, "Yeheh Shemeh Rabba" – that Hashem's Name shall be "Rabba," "large" and complete, with the arrival of Mashiah, when G-d's Name will be acknowledged and respected throughout the world. Because we respond to Kaddish so often – numerous times each day – we are prone to answering mindlessly, without paying attention to what we are saying. We should try, as much as possible, to concentrate on the meaning of the Hazzan's declaration, and on the meaning of our response – that we are praying for G-d's Name to be known and glorified throughout the world. Some have the custom when the Hazzan begins Kaddish to recite the verse, "Ve'ata Yigdal Na Koah Hashem…" (Bamidbar 14:17). However, the Arizal taught that this practice is incorrect. One should listen silently and attentively to the Hazzan's recitation, and then have in mind when responding that we are joining in his prayer for the glorification of the divine Name.

In this time of great dukkha, it's imperative to remember the importance of love and how we ground ourselves and our practice in it.

On this episode of The ToosDay Crüe, Jake and Stephen welcome retired U.S. Navy SEAL officer JJ Parma, a veteran of 11 combat deployments who understands elite performance—and the real cost that comes with it. After leaving the SEAL Teams, JJ faced what many high-performing professionals encounter: the loss of rank, structure, and identity. Rather than chase the next adrenaline hit, he chose a full reset—rebuilding his leadership, purpose, and life with intention. Today, JJ works with ZeroEyes, helping protect schools and communities through proactive threat detection, bringing a disciplined yet human-first approach to safety and leadership. In this conversation, JJ speaks candidly about life after high-intensity careers, the difference between discipline and fulfillment, and how to lead when no one is giving orders. This episode is for veterans, leaders, first responders, and anyone navigating the space between who they were—and who they're becoming. Learn more: https://www.jjparma.com

I'm sure many of you will have seen it and subsequently heard Harley Moon mention her happily single status. In this episode, Harley Moon and I talk about how she ended up getting into country music in particular and what she loves most about that genre; we talk about how she is absolutely loving single life right now; we talk about how her parents very happy marriage has impacted what she wants and expects from a relationship. We also discuss the shift in the dating scene in her generation, how people are no longer going out to meet people in the way they used to, and how dating as a high profile person can present its own challenges. 02:15 Meet Harley Moon Kemp03:45 Harley Moon's Musical Journey06:00 Discovering Country Music14:47 Embracing Single Life23:49 The Modern Dating Scene31:07 The Inspiration Behind 'My Girls (Love Me Better)'32:45 Reflecting on the song 'I Know What Good Looks Like'35:12 Personal Reflections on Relationships38:43 Living with Intention and Positivity47:29 The Adventure of 'Race Across the World'54:43 Final Thoughts and FarewellFollow Harley Moon on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/harleymoonkempListen to Harley Moon on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7lTrAtvHlfVsJZgXMMR05X Support the showBuy my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/book Join my membership community for single women, Thrive Solo: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/thrivesolo Download my FREE PDF 'Top 10 Comebacks for the MostAnnoying Questions Single Women Get Asked' Go to: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/comebacks Check out my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thrivesolowithlucymeggeson Join my private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1870817913309222/?ref=share Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thrivesolowithlucymeggeson/ Email me: lucy@lucymeggeson.com And thank you so much for listening!

In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin speaks with Justin Wolf, co-founder and CEO of New Brew, about plant-based alternatives to alcohol and how social drinking culture may be shifting. Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-343/?ref=278  Justin shares how exploring kava and kratom traditions in Mexico shaped New Brew's approach to formulation, emphasizing reliable dosing, transparency, and harm reduction. Together, they discuss why alcohol became the default social drug, the limits of most "functional beverages," and the nuance behind terms like "Cali sober." The conversation also explores dependency risk, intention, moderation, and why plant-based alternatives are not positioned for those pursuing full abstinence. At its core, this episode is about expanding optionality and building new social rituals responsibly. Justin Wolf is the co-founder and CEO of New Brew, a plant-powered social tonic designed as an alternative to alcohol.

Send a textLove feels harder than it should. Why?We swipe. We text. We “talk.” We ghost. We try again.But beneath the surface of modern dating lies something much deeper: attachment wounds, social conditioning, trauma, ego, fear — and the unspoken longing to be truly seen.In this powerful and unfiltered episode of Self Reflection Podcast, host Lira Ndifon sits down with couples therapist Hassan (Chop The Counselor) to unpack the psychology behind why so many relationships struggle today — and what it actually takes to build something healthy.This isn't surface-level dating advice. This is about emotional wiring.Together, they explore:• Why couples say they struggle with “communication” — but what they really mean is “I don't feel seen.” • The hidden psychological impact of infidelity — and why it never fully disappears • How childhood attachment styles quietly dictate adult relationships • Why “settling” might actually be self-awareness in disguise • The dangerous myth of perfection in modern dating • How social conditioning shapes men, sex, vulnerability, and emotional avoidance • Why intentional dating requires inner clarity — not a checklist • Practical rituals couples can use to rebuild connection and intimacyLira brings her signature depth and spiritual grounding, challenging us to reflect inward before blaming outward. Because sometimes the love we're searching for… requires us to meet ourselves first.This episode isn't just about romance.It's about courage. It's about curiosity. It's about slowing down instead of reacting. It's about understanding your patterns before repeating them.If you're single, healing from heartbreak, navigating dating apps, rebuilding trust, or in a relationship that feels stuck — this conversation will hold up a mirror.And in that mirror, you may finally see the truth about how you love.Support the showCall to Action: Engage with the Self-Reflection Podcast community!

Good morning. How do you feel about mind control? New research from a laboratory in Zurich suggests it may be possible to make people less selfish – by sending electrical currents through their brains. Forty-four volunteers were asked to divide money between themselves and an anonymous partner. Remarkably, when certain neural pathways at the front and back of the head were stimulated, participants gave more away. It sounds like science fiction. But other forms of bio-hacking are, of course, already common: weight-loss drugs, metabolic trackers, sleep technology. Medicines are routinely used to lift mood, sharpen attention, steady anxiety. So why not use science to make us kinder as well? That way, we might all become more beautiful people inside, as well as out. Just imagine it. Wellness centres offering holistic packages, body and soul: Botox top-ups in the morning, altruistic boosting in the afternoon. More seriously, researchers claim this new technology could be used for the treatment of certain brain disorders and prove invaluable for people who struggle with social behaviour. It could be just the nudge they need to become better citizens. It's a wholesome idea. Yet as I read the academic article on this impressive experiment in brain-hacking – forecasting gains in “cooperation, productivity, and cohesion” – I became increasingly uneasy. I was put in mind of Aldous Huxley's dystopian novel Brave New World, published almost a century ago, which describes a civilisation held together not by conscience but by chemistry and conditioning. A terrifying vision. Once virtue is treated as something that can be engineered, the line between encouragement and enforcement grows thin. A society might become more efficient, more compliant, even more outwardly generous, and still lose its soul. Huxley warns that people who allow themselves to be controlled may eventually come to “love their servitude”. Even if such dystopian fears never come to pass, the ambition to control our moral impulses through technology raises questions about the nature of morality. Christian thought has long distinguished between shaping behaviour from the outside and forming the person from within. Charity — what theologians call caritas — is not simply a matter of generous action. Intention matters too: affection that is freely given is what lends acts of generosity their meaning; without it, they risk becoming little more than reflexes. It's fascinating to learn that science can influence our moral behaviour, but it is fatal to confuse this fact with morality itself. The Christian vision insists that a person is more than a set of automatic responses. Morality only makes sense if it is chosen. As a society, we have already surrendered ourselves to our smartphones, our computers, and our digital habits; let's at least fight, while we can, to love one another freely.

Many leaders reach a point where success no longer feels fulfilling. In this Leadership Bites episode of The C-Suite Mentor Podcast, host Theresa Cantley explores what to do when you feel stuck, burned out, or disconnected from your purpose as a leader. Through a powerful real-world client story, Theresa breaks down why leaders lose passion, how misalignment between identity and role creates frustration, and why growth often feels uncomfortable before it feels empowering. This episode dives into how to shift from leading from the outside in to leading from the inside out by reconnecting with who you want to be, how you want to feel, and what truly makes you come alive as a leader. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, unsure of your direction, or questioning your leadership path, this episode will help you recalibrate, refocus, and take the next right step forward with clarity and confidence.     Things to Listen For • Why feeling lost is often a sign you are being asked to grow [01:12] • How leading from an old identity creates friction and burnout [05:02] • The difference between outside-in leadership vs inside-out leadership [07:18] • How intention shapes your daily leadership actions [09:10] • Why reconnecting with what makes you come alive restores motivation [11:02] • How misalignment between role and identity drains passion [12:20] • How to define your personal leadership philosophy [13:04] • Why growth always comes with discomfort and uncertainty [14:22] • The next right step to regain clarity and alignment [17:20] • Final leadership reflection and practical next step [19:10]     Shownotes In this Leadership Bites episode, Theresa Cantley shares a powerful coaching conversation with a long-time leader who felt burned out, overwhelmed, and disconnected from his passion. Feeling Lost Is Often a Signal for Growth Feeling lost does not mean you are failing. It often means you are being invited into your next level of leadership. Growth naturally brings discomfort, uncertainty, and friction when you try to lead from an old identity that no longer fits who you are becoming. Inside-Out Leadership vs Outside-In Leadership Many leaders attempt to meet expectations, industry pressure, and external demands first. This creates misalignment. True leadership clarity begins by reconnecting with who you want to be, how you want to feel, and what matters most before reacting to external noise. Reconnecting with What Makes You Come Alive When leaders drift away from the activities that energize them, burnout follows. Reconnecting with what brings you alive restores momentum, creativity, and purpose in your role as a leader. Redefining Your Leadership Philosophy Rather than reacting to what others think you should be doing, define your personal leadership philosophy. These principles guide how you lead, how you make decisions, and how you shape culture within your business. The Power of Intention in Daily Leadership Setting a daily intention changes how you show up. Instead of operating on autopilot, intention allows you to lead with clarity, focus, conviction, and alignment throughout your day. Finding the Next Right Step Clarity does not come from doing everything at once. It comes from taking the next right step that aligns with who you are becoming as a leader. Small aligned actions create powerful momentum over time.     Final Leadership Reflection Leadership growth requires letting go of who you were so you can step into who you are becoming. When you reconnect with your intention, your identity, and what makes you come alive, you regain clarity, confidence, and direction.

Gospel Mark 7:14-23 Jesus summoned the crowd again and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand. Nothing that enters one from outside can defile that person; but the things that come out from within are what defile.” When he got home away from the crowd his disciples questioned him about the parable. He said to them, “Are even you likewise without understanding? Do you not realize that everything that goes into a person from outside cannot defile, since it enters not the heart but the stomach and passes out into the latrine?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.) “But what comes out of the man, that is what defiles him. From within the man, from his heart, come evil thoughts, unchastity, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, licentiousness, envy, blasphemy, arrogance, folly. All these evils come from within and they defile.” Reflection As Jesus continues to describe how He wants to save us, how this whole process of our being touched by him impacts us in a way that changes everything. And I love his reference here to the heart. He's saying what enters your heart is what's really essential. And God has promised to enter into our hearts. And if we think about healing and transformation of grace, we need to understand that the heart, if it is the cause of those things that are destructive, the heart is what needs to be healed. In the heart is the presence of God within you. Once you allow him into your heart, believe he dwells there, no evil can possibly flow from your heart to others. But that's the place where we connect. Heart to heart. Intention to intention. And it needs to be pure. It needs to be life giving. Closing Prayer Father, your grace by it's very presence is healing. Just as you, as you walk this earth had your healing presence known. Bless us with knowing that that same presence dwells in our hearts and through us. You can do this mysterious work of driving out that which destroys us and freeing us from all that robs us of life. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices.

At the end of January, we lost a wonderful musician, teacher, and pedagogue, Marvin Blickenstaff. You've probably heard me talk about Marvin on the podcast before—he had a profound impact on my teaching.With a career spanning over six decades, Marvin dedicated himself to serving piano students and teachers worldwide. He valued deep emotional expression at the keyboard and a human connection through the music. He once said, “The only reason that music exists is to express who we are and how we feel.”Today, I'm sharing some of the most important things I learned from Marvin and how they show up in my teaching and practice.For show notes + a full transcript, click here.Resources Mentioned*Disclosure: some of the links in this episode are affiliate links, which means if you decide to purchase through any of them, I will earn a small commission.
