Podcasts about Intention

What does “going with the flow” actually mean in dating, and why does it so often lead to situationships, resentment, and self-abandonment? In the final episode of the Clarity Series, Sabrina breaks down how passivity, fear of asking for more, and chasing chemistry over availability keep people stuck in almost-relationships. This episode explores the psychological and nervous system reasons we suppress our needs, tolerate ambiguity, and confuse flexibility with emotional safety. You'll learn the difference between dating with intention versus dating from control or fear, how to identify your real non-negotiables, why situationships persist, and what it actually looks like to stop auditioning for love and start choosing yourself. If you're tired of waiting to be chosen, afraid of being “too much,” or stuck in cycles of undefined connections, this episode gives you the framework to leave self-abandonment behind and date with clarity, confidence, and self-trust. If you're ready to slow down, trust your instincts, and break your old dating patterns, the Healthy Relationship Foundations Course walks you through it step-by-step  HERE!

Hey lady! We made it! In this final episode of 2025, Dr. Dom and Terri celebrate all that has happened in this year so that they can honor it with sacred closure and use the lessons learned to fuel a productive, prosperous, and peaceful new year. Lady, what are the rituals and practices that you do at the end of year that help you set powerful intentions to have the year you want to have? Are you a woman who doesn’t play about having the house clean, the Black-eyed peas and greens on the stove when the clock strikes 12 on January 1? Are you a woman who likes to review all that happened this year to reflect on what went well and what could use some improvement…and what just doesn’t need to happen no mo’? Are you the woman who believes in pressing forward without addressing the good and the bad of what they year brought? Or, are you the woman who shuts the laptop, snuggles in bed with your favorite snack, book, show and gets all of the rest you need? We’re grown women so you already know that there is no right way to do life but Terri and Dr. Dom have some tips and frameworks that can help you sort through the year you’ve had so that you walk into 2026 with clarity and a sense of direction. Tune into this episode for journal prompts to walk you through your thoughts so that you’re off to the races when the clock strikes. Cheers to a safe and restful rest of the year!

What if you could close out the year with intention, rather than rushing ahead to the next? In this episode, I'm guiding you through a reflection practice that will help you honor the past year before stepping into the next. This isn't just another end-of-year exercise. This practice will directly influence how you set your goals for the coming year by shaping how you see yourself as a business owner.   The exercise I'm sharing is a letter-writing practice to past you, reflecting on everything you've done this year with gratitude. We're not focused on evaluating results or what you missed. This is about appreciating your growth, the challenges you overcame, and the person you've become along the way. By honoring your journey, you strengthen the identity of someone who shows up, creates wins, and evolves as a resilient CEO.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.desicreswell.com/160   Sign up for Create Your 2026 Roadmap to join us on January 9th and 16th, 2026: https://www.desiid.com/2026roadmap   Sign up for my Monday Mindset email list to get bite-sized insights on topics that you can use to set your week up for success: https://www.desicreswell.com/monday-mindset   Follow along or send me a message on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/desicreswell/

If you're childless after infertility and growing older feels unsettling, this episode invites you to move from fear to intention and imagine a future that feels grounded and meaningful. Childlessness after infertility and growing older can bring up fears you never expected to carry. When motherhood didn't happen, aging is often framed as something to brace for rather than something you get to shape. In this episode of The "So Now What?" Podcast, you're invited to move from fear to intention as you explore what it means to grow older without children, reconnect with your body after IVF failed, and begin imagining a future that feels meaningful, grounded, and entirely your own. This episode was inspired by a simple question I overheard while out to dinner: Has getting old been like you expected it would be? For women who are childless after infertility, that question can land deeply. Not because aging itself is the problem, but because the future no longer comes with a default storyline. Together, we talk honestly about the physical fears of aging, the existential questions that surface when IVF fails, and how reaction mode can quietly shrink your sense of possibility. Most importantly, you'll be invited to consider what it might look like to participate in your future, rather than brace for it. This conversation isn't about having all the answers. It's about giving yourself permission to imagine again. In this episode, you'll explore: Why growing older without children is often framed through fear The physical aging fears many women carry after infertility and why they make sense How fertility treatments can leave you feeling disconnected from your body What existential fear really means when motherhood didn't happen The difference between bracing for the future and imagining it Why reaction mode helped you survive infertility but doesn't have to be permanent How childless women often have more agency than they realize when it comes to aging Questions to help you begin envisioning a future that feels intentional and grounded If growing older feels scary right now If thinking about aging without children brings up tightness, fear, or a sense of "I don't even know where to begin," you're not doing anything wrong. You've already had to let go of a future you worked hard for. It makes sense that imagining what comes next feels complicated. That's exactly why I offer Thrive Calls.

Christmas week can be beautiful and magical, and also… heavy, chaotic, and emotionally exhausting. Today's episode isn't about protein targets, perfect workouts, or “balancing out” desserts. It's about making your fitness a VIBE, and something that supports you (instead of draining you). This year stretched me in ways I never expected. From serious health issues to scary moments with my kids, unexpected losses, and being forced to slow down when I didn't want to, 2025 asked more of me than most years EVER have.Honestly? I did the bare f*cking minimum with my fitness for long stretches of time. Not because I didn't care, but because that's all I had.If you're in a similar season where all YOU can do right now is the bare minimum, that is still enough! This week, your effort might look smaller, but your intention gets to be BIGGER. It's not about pushing harder - it's about showing up softer, and in a way that truly supports you in this season.Episode recap:Why your Christmas week doesn't need perfect workouts or rigid rulesMy reflection on an incredibly challenging year + how this impacted my fitnessWhy the bare f*cking minimum IS enoughPrioritizing your atmosphere over workouts3 ways to romanticize your fitness during the holidaysWhy your biggest fitness progress isn't always physicalLinks/Resources:Ep. 220 | Romanticizing Your Fitness: Softness, Intention & Connection This Holiday SeasonGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterListen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

The Real AI: Authenticity + Intention in Life and Business   In a world where AI can write emails, produce video, and even mimic your voice, the greatest competitive advantage left is being human. Brian McRae reminds us that emotional loyalty, being known, valued, remembered, is what creates opportunity, referrals, purpose, and a life of meaningful success. Social media may get you attention, but it will never create devotion. Relationships do.   If you've been feeling alone, stuck, or unsure how to expand your circle of opportunity, this conversation is your roadmap back to connection.   Key Points with Reflection Questions:  Emotional Loyalty Is More Powerful Than Marketing. Most loyalty is transactional or habitual. But emotional loyalty, the kind your favorite small restaurant gives you when they remember your name and your kids, is what transforms your business and life. Brian built an entire mortgage business through emotional loyalty created at his monthly event. Reflection Question: Who in your life deserves more intentional appreciation from you this week? Authenticity + Intentionality = The New AI. Brian says the most important "AI" in business isn't artificial intelligence. It's Authentic and Intentional actions. A handwritten note, a thoughtful question, or genuine curiosity carries more power than any automated funnel. Reflection Question: Where can you replace automation with authentic intention? The World Rewards Generosity, Not Neediness. Most networking fails because people lead with "What's in it for me?" Brian teaches the opposite: Lead with gratitude, curiosity, and generosity, and doors open that marketing can't touch. Reflection Question: What's one simple generosity action you can take in the next 24 hours? Referrals Come From Partners, Not Clients. Most people confuse their client with their referral partner. Referral partners don't want to be sold to. They want partnership, support, and value. Brian's business grew by helping other professionals grow theirs. Reflection Question: Who are your true referral partners, and how are you helping them win? Relationships Require Rhythm and Systems. You don't need the perfect CRM. You need the one you actually use. Brian says: Identify your top relationships, Create a connection plan, Put follow-up time on your calendar, Track what matters, and Your calendar reveals your priorities. Your CRM reveals your influence. Reflection Question: What relationship rhythm do you need to protect weekly? Success Requires Facing Challenges, Not Avoiding Them. Brian has worked with and coached thousands of successful people. Their secret? They don't avoid challenges — they grow through them. They look for opportunity in the obstacle. Reflection Question: What challenge are you resisting that might actually be your path to growth Faith, Wisdom, and Mentors Shape Everything. Brian openly shares that faith transformed his life, and that mentors changed his direction. Success isn't achieved alone. It's shaped by the wisdom of people who've walked the road before us. Reflection Question: Which wise voice should you be listening to more closely right now?   Money Learning from Brian McRae: Brian uses Profit First not because it's trendy, but because he never wants financial surprises again. ·       Profit First gave him:      Peace of mind      Predictable cash flow      Confidence his taxes and expenses were covered      The freedom to build a coaching business in alignment with his strengths   He described Profit First as a system that eliminates stress and supports life-aligned decisions. In Richer Soul terms: It's a structure that creates space for purpose.   Key Takeaway: Success is not built on followers, funnels, or tactics. Success is built on intentional generosity, consistent relational rhythms, and becoming someone others want to advocate for. Emotional loyalty is the last unfair advantage in a world of automation.   Bio: Brian McRae built an award-winning, referral-based mortgage practice that placed him among the top 1% of originators nationwide. But along the way, he discovered a surprising truth: success isn't about being the best salesperson in the room—it's about becoming the most trusted advisor in someone's life. Today, Brian coaches loan officers, financial advisors, and attorneys on how to build rich relationships that generate referrals and grow their businesses—without sacrificing their faith, family, or fitness. His clients learn how to attract business instead of chase it, freeing up time and energy for what matters most. Through his frameworks, the Trusted Advisor Playbook and the Momentum System, Brian gives leaders a step-by-step plan to win more clients by first winning more trust. If you want to grow your practice through trust instead of tactics, Brian is the coach who can show you how.   Links: https://www.linkedin.com/in/briankmcrae/   https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61563450897284  https://briankmcrae.com/   Which insight from Brian resonated with you the most? Share it with someone who needs to hear it — and consider sending a handwritten note this week.

Today with us on the Incite Change Podcast, Coach Mauro sits down with Bruce Randall.   Randall takes us through his world of AI and how it is transforming the way people think, work, communicate and make decisions while emphasizing that technology itself is not the driver of change; human intention and responsibility are. AI is a powerful tool that can accelerate progress, but only when guided by clear values, critical thinking and self-awareness.   He challenges us to think about how reliance on AI can either support growth or reinforce complacency. Rather than allowing automation or convenience to replace reflection and accountability, Randall reminds us of the importance of staying engaged, adaptable, and grounded.   Episode Timestamps ●        [00:39] Who Is Bruce Randall? ●        [09:55] How AI is Changing Everything ●        [20:00] The Human Role in AI ●        [30:41] Convenience vs Complacency ●        [42:09] Leading with Etchics and Intention ●        [51:00] Growing with the Future   Resources Mentioned ●        LinkedIn   Thanks so much for tuning in.

We all try to live with intention—but life keeps interrupting us.In this episode, I explore the tension between daily reactivity and long-term vision through a Stoic lens. Why do we keep returning to Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca? Why do we need constant reminders of principles we already know?Because life pulls us away—daily, hourly, relentlessly.This episode is about carving out small moments of intention inside a reactive world, and why you don't need more time—just space—to live with clarity and character.

As we kick off a new season on the show, I felt it was essential I also end the season of the year with an episode that I feel is beneficial to us all. I have shared this previously on the show, but sometimes we need to hear things more than once for it really to land and maybe the season you are in is exactly when you are ready for it. 4 years ago I started doing something that helped me enter the New Year more intentionally. It wasn't about doing another vision board, but yes I like to do those as well, It was a process that helped me end the year off peacefully and enter the new year powerfully. It wasn't about setting some New year's resolution that falls away after the first month. This was about reflecting, releasing, renewing, and creating; and then wrapping it all with a bow and setting my intention. Because this process has been so beneficial to me, I wanted to share it with all of you.  My hope is after this episode today, you will think about how you are leading your life with intention and if you are not, this is your permission to pause, reflect, and honor the season you are in. Maybe what you need is that precious time to be intentional in what matters most to you right now so that the next steps you take will be led with clarity, more focus, and a better sense of purpose and direction. In this episode I discuss: The importance of leading with intention Honoring the seasons Powerful questions to ask yourself Setting intentions for the new year Powerful process to living intentionally  For full show notes and episode resources head to: https://ericalippy.com/the-4-step-reset/ Watch episode on YouTube Episode mentions:   Download 'My Intentional Year' HERE Erica Lippy | Website  Follow me on Social Media: Listen on YouTube Your Host: @ericalippy Podcast: @passionlovepursuit PASSION LOVE PURSUIT PODCASTS: https://ericalippy.com/the-podcast/

To be human is to age. To age well is to transition. To transition well is to adapt. In this episode of Breaking Bread, Ron Messner and Lori Wiegand encourage us to be intentional in the aging process. In so doing, we find abundance of life where scarcity may have been assumed.     Show notes:  Finding abundance instead of scarcity in the last third of life is a function of intentionality, acceptance, and adaptation.   Intentionality:   Making healthy choices. Having needed conversations.  Making future plans.     Acceptance:   Making peace with new realities.   Letting go of old norms.  Letting go of old possibilities.    Adaptation:   Finding a new identity.  Welcoming new norms.  Finding new possibilities. 

In this Substack Live conversation, Katie Farinas is joined by fellow midlife coach Sue McCreedie to explore the powerful difference between setting goals and living from soul-aligned intentions.Both Katie and Sue share their journeys from medical professionals into midlife coaching, and why the new year is a natural inflection point—a time to reflect, release, and consciously choose what we want to bring forward.They discuss why goals often leave us feeling like we either succeed or fail, while intentions allow us to live in alignment with our deepest values and soul's desires. From that place, aligned goals can naturally emerge.Sue introduces numerology and explains how it can guide us through 2025 and 2026. Tarot cards are used as symbolic mirrors for each year, helping tap into the subconscious. Katie then guides Sue through a body scan, breathwork, heart chakra activation, and visualization meditation to connect with a soul word for 2026.Listeners are invited to play along, reflect, and listen for what their own soul is asking for next.

In the spirit of celebrating my first Christmas as a Christian, this week is the perfect time to share a delightful conversation I had with Chris Legg. As both a licensed professional counselor and the lead pastor of a church, Chris has a rare combination of expertise he describes as being "a bit of a unicorn." Chris is also the founding owner and clinical director of Alethia Family Counseling Center, which now operates six locations across Texas with thirty therapists on staff.We explore the intersection of faith and psychology, discussing how secular therapy approaches to self-esteem fall short without a spiritual foundation. Chris challenges the contemporary affirmation-based therapy model, arguing that true humility comes from an accurate understanding of who we are in light of who God says we are. We discuss the persistent human tendency toward self-deception, examining why building identity solely on ourselves is fundamentally delusional—and what happens when we recognize ourselves as treasure through God's eyes instead.Our conversation ventures into controversial territory, including the relationship between Christianity and psychedelics, where Chris explains his measured "five out of ten" stance. He shares clinical examples of clients whose severe addictions were transformed through professional psychedelic-assisted treatment, while also emphasizing the need for Christian voices to remain engaged in this conversation rather than retreating into reflexive rejection. We discuss the theology of the Father, father wounds, and how childhood experiences shape our intuition of God. We examine prayer through the lens of the persistent widow and the friend at midnight, exploring what it means to approach God boldly as his children rather than with practiced piety. Chris shares insights on marriage, sacrifice, and how his son co-authored their book "Sex and Marriage" after witnessing the congruence between his father's theology and his treatment of his mother. Finally, we touch on near-death experiences, spiritual integration, and the beautiful, ongoing process of faith deconstruction and reconstruction that characterizes a lifetime of spiritual growth.Pastor Chris Legg, LPCs, and his wife Ginger have been living out the parable of God's love for His people since 1993 and have been blessed with five great kids. He is the Lead Pastor at South Spring Baptist Church in Tyler, TX and is also the founding owner and clinical director of Alethia Family Counseling Center, which offers training, counseling, speaking and business consulting in several locations in Texas. He and his son, Mark, are the authors of the book Sex and Marriage, which is intended to restore to marriages the power God intended. He also writes on Substack and hosts the Reconstructed Faith podcast.Books Mentioned in This Episode:Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan ManningAbba's Child by Brennan ManningLion and Lamb by Brennan ManningImagine Heaven by John BurkeImagine the God of Heaven by John BurkeThe Great Divorce by C.S.

Forget the “new year, new you” slogans. We trade hype for honesty and design a year that actually fits your values and energy. We start by reframing 2025 with a pride audit: the tough moments you handled with more grace, the people you helped, and the places you chose integrity over convenience. That grounding matters because leaders often spot gaps faster than growth, and without pride, we keep chasing the next milestone without ever arriving.From there, we run a clean truth audit—no shame, just ownership. What did you call important but never scheduled? Which habits drained your best energy? We unpack the long game and why consistency beats intensity. Drawing on Atomic Habits, we shift from outcome obsession to identity and systems: the real flex is the small habit you don't break. We explore the math of compounding and the mindset that keeps you steady when motivation fades.We also bring in a powerful lens on courage from Emmy-winning broadcaster and author Anne-Marie Anderson. Audacity isn't recklessness; it's aligned, season-aware boldness. You'll define one brave Q1 swing, then make it practical with the Three Wins Weekly framework—one win for work, one for health, one for relationships—and protect them with time blocks that match your natural rhythms. Add Michael Bungay Stanier's minimum viable start to break inertia, and layer Brendan Burchard's daily intentionality so you show up how your team needs: curious, inspiring, or decisive. We close with a tight 2026 plan: choose a compass word, pick three outcomes, build weekly systems and accountability, and lock in that audacious move.Ready to stop living by default and start living by design? Subscribe, share this with a colleague who needs a reset, and tell us your 2026 theme and your one bold swing. Let's build a year you're proud to live—one block, one habit, one courageous step at a time.Send us a textSupport the show✅ Follow The Leadership Project on your favourite podcast platform and listen to a new episode every week!

Trust is low. Change is constant. And leaders everywhere are feeling the pressure to keep it all together while navigating layoffs, AI disruption, cultural challenges, and nonstop external noise. In this episode of The C-Suite Mentor, Theresa Cantley shares a powerful six-part framework to help leaders stay above the line, close the execution gap, and thrive—without burning out or losing themselves in the chaos. Drawing from real conversations with clients, mentors, and lived experience, Theresa explains why leadership today isn't about proving yourself—it's about clarity, intention, and how you show up when everything feels uncertain. If you've been questioning yourself as a leader, feeling overwhelmed, or stuck reacting instead of leading, this episode will help you reset your focus, reclaim your confidence, and move forward with purpose. Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome to The C-Suite Mentor 02:15 – Why trust is at an all-time low 06:10 – Navigating layoffs, AI, and economic uncertainty 10:20 – The danger of reacting instead of leading 14:45 – Stop trying to prove yourself as a leader 18:30 – The "dirty lake" analogy and toxic environments 22:10 – Framework overview: How to stay above the line 23:00 – Aim & implementation: Bridging the execution gap 30:40 – Learn, don't lean: Conscious consumption 38:15 – Dream vs. drama in leadership 45:10 – Clarity, conviction, and reflection 53:00 – Leading with intention and influence 59:30 – The power of your circle and community 1:07:00 – How leaders truly thrive in today's world 1:11:30 – Final reflections and next steps Key Takeaways • You don't need to prove yourself—leadership starts with knowing who you are • External chaos doesn't define you; how you respond does • Clear aims and daily implementation prevent overwhelm • What you consume mentally shapes how you lead • Great leaders focus on the dream, not the drama • Clarity and conviction eliminate toxicity • Intention determines the energy and influence you bring • The right community accelerates growth; the wrong one drains it Listener Prompt / Call to Action Which of the six principles stood out to you most—and why? Take a moment this week to reflect: Are you leading above the line, or reacting to the noise around you? If you're ready to go deeper, book a virtual coffee with Theresa to get clear, actionable steps to move forward with confidence. And if this episode resonated, share it with a fellow leader who needs this message right now.

Welcome to the second part in Ceri¨s three part miniseries on planning an artist led event. This one's called planning the how turning intention into a structured, soulful artist led event. If you listened to Episode 1, you will remember that everything begins with clarity. The why. The what. Who it is for. What you want to learn. What you want to feel. That foundation changes everything. Without it, an artist-led event becomes a swirl of worry and last-minute decisions. With it, the whole thing becomes a living part of your practice. Today, we are stepping into the how. How to plan. How to prepare. How to build momentum. How to invite people. How to rehearse the event. How to gather feedback. How to set yourself up for sales if that is part of your goal. How to hold the energy of the night. We will continue following our two artists, Maya and Eli, because between them they cover so many of the scenarios that artists face. Performance plus sculpture. Painting plus small works on paper. Feedback plus sales. Ambition plus nerves. Limited budgets. Shared studios. Bigger dreams. -- Most artists are guessing their way through and staying stuck far longer than they need to. Inside Ceri Hand´s Coaching Membership, you get straight answers and real support through live sessions, portfolio reviews, virtual studio visits, monthly art world experts, and community to help you cut through fast. Ceri covers everything. Right now, you can join or gift a full year for £99 - our only discount of the year, available until the first of January. Please join here - http://cerihand.com/membership/ KEY TAKEAWAYS You can´t roll straight from the studio into the event. Your work needs a staging environment, a context, a point of view. When planning and preparing an event you need to protect your energy. Block out time to relax as well as time for the event. These blocks create momentum. Holding a room is not about performance. It's about hospitality, and hospitality is an art in itself. BEST MOMENTS “Artists underestimate the mental load of planning. Something I teach all of my artist clients, to create a planning container.” “The order in which you invite people matters. So, step one, warm your warmest people. These are the people who are most likely to say yes.” “For Ellie, her feedback comes in the form of behaviour, which paintings people stand longest in front of which works on paper people touch which price points get interest.” PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events. She sold artworks to major museums and private collectors and commissioned thousands of works across diverse media, from renowned artists such as John Akomfrah, Pipilotti Rist, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and Vito Acconci. Now, she wants to share her extensive knowledge with you, so you can excel and achieve your goals. **** Unlock Your Artworld Network Self Study Course Our self-study video course, "Unlock Your Artworld Network," offers a straightforward 5-step framework to help you build valuable relationships effortlessly.

In this reflective year-end episode of Small Changes, Big Shifts, Dr. Michelle Robin and her co-host, Bayleigh Soza, share an openhearted conversation about stepping into 2026 with clarity, intention, and trust. Together, they explore personal growth, whole-person wellness, and how the Four Quadrants can guide small changes that lead to meaningful transformation. From reconnecting with joy and play, to deepening spiritual practices, to aligning daily habits with purpose, the hosts offer honest insights on what it means to evolve, surrender, and create a life grounded in authenticity.  Key Takeaways:   Reflecting on the past year helps uncover lessons, clarify priorities, and guide intentional choices for the year ahead.  Understanding your authentic self allows you to align actions with your life mission and higher purpose.  Intentionality in relationships, wellness, and daily habits creates space for joy, connection, and meaningful growth.  Small changes, like prioritizing self-care, gratitude, or playful activities, can lead to significant shifts over time.  Each wellness quadrant—physical, chemical, energetical, psychological/spiritual—offers tools to live with balance, energy, and purpose.  Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at:  https://smallchangesbigshifts.com  hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com  https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts  https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts  https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco  Thanks for listening!  Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

 We're ending this year with a deep reflection: a year in review for wild awake hearts. You know it's the end of the year when there you are, just trying to drink your tea in peace, and your feed is full of “Optimize Your 2026,” “New Year, New You,” and shit like that. Meanwhile, the Buddha is somewhere looking at all these color-coded habit trackers like, “Beloveds… you know you're still going to die, right?” So let's try something different. Something with a Buddhist flair. Something that lets you walk into the new year not as a “better project,” but as a freer, truer, more alive version of you.You will learn:// Why conventional year-end reviews often turn into spiritualized self-attack, and what to do instead.// How to use Buddhist teachings like impermanence and not-self to soften, not harden, your reflection.// A simple way to honor both heartbreak and beauty, inspired by Mark Nepo's “Adrift.”// How to bring a social justice lens into your inner work so your practice isn't separated from the world's pain.// Questions that reveal where we abandoned ourselves this year, and where we showed up bravely.// How to recognize your own moments of aliveness and decolonize the dreams you're chasing.// Why remembering lineage is a rebellious act // Ways to honor the earth as a living relative in your year-end reflection, not just a backdrop.// How to set intentions that feel like prayers rather than punishments, and one simple ritual you can do today.Resources:// Episode 154: Off the Cushion - Activism + Spirituality // Episode 174: Decolonize Your Mind - A Story of My Mother and Me// Episode 184: The Power of Intention, Ritual, and Ceremony: Rediscovering the Sacred in Everyday Life// Episode 260: Wild + Woven – Why We Need Both Nature and People// Episode 286: The Concept of No-Self (and Greater Intimacy) – Off the Cushion Part 7// If you're new to the squad, grab the Rebel Buddhist Toolkit I created at RebelBuddhist.com. It has all you need to start creating a life of more freedom, adventure, and purpose. You'll also get access to the Rebel Buddhist private group, and tune in every Wednesday as I go live with new inspiration and topics.// Want something more self-paced with access to weekly group support and getting coached by yours truly?

In the discussion portion, he highlights the importance of not enabling harmful behavior in others and advises offering guidance while being respectful of boundaries.

You may find this centering practice valuable as you reflect on all that has happened in the past year and set intentions for the year to come. At Reboot, we often use meditation to sit with thoughts, feelings, and other parts of our experience that we so seldom make time for in our busy work lives.

Even on tired, imperfect days, these tiny moments of delight can shift our energy and reconnect us to what's sacred in daily life.In this episode, Nicki explores:-What it means to “open to delight”-How small, ordinary moments can become sources of awe-Why naming delight helps us feel more of it-How this practice can support us through both joy and heaviness-The difference between “I will” and “I am” in setting intentions-A gentle invitation to carry this practice into your kitchen and your daysThis is the last episode of the year and a beautiful way to center yourself as we enter the holidays and prepare for a new season.

As the year comes to a close, there's pressure everywhere to finish strong, set new goals, and rush into what's next. But what if the most powerful thing you could do right now… is pause? In this episode, Julie Deem invites you to slow down, breathe, and take an honest look at what you are done carrying forward. This isn't about resolutions or forcing a fresh start. It's about intentional closure, compassion, and choosing what gets left behind so you can enter the next season lighter, clearer, and more aligned.Episode Highlights:The end of the year is a natural closing season and not a time to push harder or prove more.Growth allows you to honor who you were while choosing who you are becoming.Peace often begins when performance ends.Closure does not always happen naturally and sometimes must be created with intention.Letting go is a form of self-respect and leadership.How you end the year shapes the emotional tone of the next one.Learn more about the latest tool for dynamic professionals in the self-improvement industry, LyfQuest.

Dr. Brunson debunks the myth that the arts are tangential to a good education.  Quite the opposite!  Students learn the value of discipline through the process of artistic expression and this paves the way for improved mental health and career opportunities.    We address several common questions like: How does arts education benefit children? Is arts education linked to academic success?  What skills do students learn from arts?  How do the arts support social and emotional learning?

Today's episode came to me as I was about to hop in the shower, and I started listening to a podcast about “romanticizing winter”. It's definitely not something I would have been intrigued by in the past, but I LOVED it. After listening, I thought “what if we romanticized our fitness journey?!”Like…I'm not a winter girlie at ALL (probably never will be), but something about softening into a season I usually resist made me think about softening into fitness, too. And no…not toxic positivity or pretending life is “perfect”. Think more intention, emotion, and calm to something that can feel so HARSH this time of year.I don't want December fitness to feel like pressure. I don't need the “push harder, grind harder” vibe right now, and neither do you. This season can be chaotic AF, and you don't need to bully yourself into hustling when your bandwidth just isn't there.This holiday season, you don't need more discipline. You need more connection, intention, and moments that feel GOOD!!Episode recap:Why “romanticizing your fitness” helps you soften pressure & stay consistent this seasonShifting from harsh motivation to calm & intentional energy to support your habitsThe role of emotion, beauty & reward in creating sustainable habit loopsHow soft structure reduces burnout + builds self-trust5 ways to romanticize your fitnessWhy small wins matter MOST right nowHow slowing down can actually move you forwardWhy intention > discipline during busy seasonsWhy every positive choice compounds right nowLinks/Resources: Trying Not to Care Podcast | Romanticizing Winter: How to Enjoy the Holiday Season and Love Your LifeEp. 219 | Overeating During the Holidays: How to Stop the “Screw-It” Spiral + Actually Break the CycleGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterListen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

Using an article by Sayadaw U Tejaniya as a jumping off point, Mary discusses what being mindful all the time might look like in our lives, and how do we practice being present for whatever shows up. Being present is the key to liberation and is necessary even in the most mundane of situations. It takes effort, but the freedom is worth it.Recorded Dec. 11, 2025 in the virtual worldSend me a text with any questions or comments!

Ashe in America, Abbey Blue Eyes, Christy Lupo, and Jackie Espada welcome Michelle McAninch of Tamarac Garden for a grounded, practical conversation centered on gardening, food sovereignty, and reconnecting with the land. Michelle shares her experience building and maintaining a productive garden, walking through seed starting basics, soil health, seasonal planning, and common mistakes new growers make. The discussion highlights the importance of growing food with intention, adapting to local conditions, and building resilience through small, manageable steps. The hosts ask thoughtful questions about sustainability, family involvement, and how gardening ties into broader themes of independence, stewardship, and wellness. Warm, informative, and encouraging, this milestone episode blends hands-on knowledge with community-driven conversation, offering listeners both inspiration and actionable insight for cultivating their own gardens and reclaiming a deeper connection to food and self-sufficiency.

While we can't change our past, we have the capacity in this moment to remember our deepest intention and seed the future. Intention can become the compass of our heart, guiding and creating our life experience.   In these two talks we explore how we awaken mindfulness of intention and how, when we are caught in habits that create suffering, we can find our way home to the deep intention that heals and frees us. The two talks include reflections and practices that can bring the power of intention alive in your life.   Our introduction music is from "Opening" by Adrienne Torf, © 2025 ABT Music
