This talk explores wise intention as a living, moment-to-moment inquiry rather than a fixed decision or self-improvement project. Drawing from the Buddhist understanding of Right Intention, it reframes intention as an embodied process of noticing what genuinely supports clarity and ease, honestly recognizing what leads to contraction, and allowing the heart to recalibrate without judgment. The emphasis is on alignment over striving, and on learning directly from lived experience.   You'll learn how to evaluate your life and practice through clear cause-and-effect, recognize when effort is actually creating more struggle, and make mindful course corrections that are kind, practical, and sustainable. The talk offers simple reflections and practices to help you listen beneath habit and preference, so you can open to what most deeply calls and let wise intention guide your actions with greater trust, coherence, and care.

Hey Friends, Decluttering isn't a motivation problem. It's a nervous system problem. In today's episode, we talk about why clutter often shows up as a coping strategy during seasons of overwhelm—and why pressure, shame, and "just trying harder" don't work. You'll learn how avoidance forms, what maladaptive coping looks like in the home, and how to work with your nervous system instead of against it. This episode includes a guided nervous system regulation practice you can use anytime—before decluttering, when you feel overwhelmed, or when you notice yourself avoiding your space.

Manifestation begins with listening, not effort. In this Distance Reiki Share, Colleen and Robyn explore manifestation through Reiki awareness, inner authority, and soul coherence. This discussion focuses on how Reiki reveals intentions, how soul history influences what we want to create, and why manifestation works differently for each person. Rather than following a single method or mindset, Reiki supports deep listening, conscious choice, and alignment with your natural way of manifesting. We talk about intention-setting, letting go, action, timing, and how connecting with your future self through Reiki consciousness can help illuminate the path forward. This session is the foundation of our Manifestation with Reiki series and prepares you for the guided Reiki journey that follows. Topics explored in this discussion include: Manifestation through Reiki listening and awareness Inner authority and honoring your natural manifestation style Soul coherence, frequency, and soul history Human needs, deeper values, and conscious intention Action, cycles, and timing in manifestation Connecting with the future self through Reiki consciousness This recording is part of our free Distance Reiki Share series and is offered for personal practice, reflection, and Reiki education.

Throughout 2025, I sat down with CEOs, founders, investors, and leaders across the private equity ecosystem. In every conversation, I asked a question that I have asked since the very first episode of Private Equity Fast Pitch:   What's the quote, motto, or what drives you?   The answers were telling as there were no slogans or catchy buzzwords.   What stood out was a shared seriousness about how success is built over time. Intention. Discipline. Mentorship. Compassion. Consistency. A deep respect for people and for the responsibility that comes with leadership.   These are not quotes for social media. They are reference points for leadership.   I'm incredibly grateful for these guests time and our impactful conversations. And grateful to be able to bring these voices to the private equity community.   The Ninth Annual Quotes and Mottos montage features perspectives from our 2025 guests:   Erik Brooks – Founder & Managing Partner, Ethos Capital Action over analysis.

New year… same patterns?In this Real Love Scenario episode, Dre and Rhonda unpack what it really means to set intentions for love in the new year — for both singles and couples.We talk about how to stop repeating old patterns, let go of pressure, and build a deeper relationship with how you love — not just whoyou love.

Every January, we're told to start fresh by setting goals, building plans, and fixing what didn't work last year. But what if that pressure is the very thing that keeps us stuck? In this episode, I'm inviting you to try something different—something simpler, deeper, and far more sustainable. Instead of resolutions or rigid goals, what if you chose one word to guide your year? In this episode, I walk you through the practice of choosing a one-word intention—and how that single word can become a lens for your decisions, your energy, and the way you show up in both life and business. I share: Why one word is often more powerful than a long goal list How to discern your word (not the one you think you "should" choose) How I'm personally exploring the words abundance and enough this year Simple, non-overwhelming ways to actually live into your word all year long Homework Assignment After listening, take 15–20 minutes to reflect on these questions: What themes keep showing up in my life right now? What feels like it's being invited to grow or heal this year? What word feels grounding, expansive, or gently challenging -- rather than forced? Then: Write your word somewhere you'll see it often Choose one simple practice that helps you live into it (a habit, a reminder, a question, or a boundary) Let me know what your word is @mydigitalfarmer on Instagram!

Today I'm sitting down with Wynne Elder for a refreshing, honest conversation about creating rhythms that support your real life, not an idealized one. Wynne shares her heart for helping moms move from constantly reacting to their days to living with intention, and why the small, ordinary choices we make each day quietly shape the life we're building. We talk about seasons of life, how to recognize the one you're in, and why naming a season can bring so much peace, especially when things feel hard or overwhelming. Wynne also gets very practical, walking us through simple weekly and family rhythms that reduce mental load, create more rest, and help weekends actually feel restful. From “clearing the decks” before the weekend to building systems your kids can grow into, this episode is full of doable ideas. We also dive into mindset, loving the life you have, taking breaks from social media, and giving yourself permission to slow down. If you're heading into a new season and craving more calm, clarity, and intention in your days, this conversation will encourage you and leave you with simple tweaks you can start using right away.

Something shifts when joy stops being a side effect of success and becomes a conscious way of living and leading. In this episode, Amy explores the idea of Exponential Joy with Kristin Joy Ekkens, founder of Exponential Joy™ movement, and how choosing joy on purpose can transform the way we work, communicate, and show up in our lives. Together, they unpack how joy is not about bypassing difficulty, but about developing the awareness, presence, and courage to meet life honestly without losing yourself in the process. Kristin shares how exponential joy grows through small, intentional choices that reconnect you to your voice, your body, and your truth, even in high-pressure environments. This conversation invites you to rethink productivity, success, and leadership through a more human lens, where joy becomes a renewable resource that deepens connection, expands impact, and creates work that feels aligned instead of draining.Key Takeaways:Why Exponential Joy Is a Practice, Not a Personality Trait – Understand how joy grows through intentional choices rather than circumstances or temperament.How Joy Changes the Way You Show Up at Work – Learn how choosing joy affects presence, communication, and how others experience you.The Difference Between Performing and Living in Joy – See how chasing approval or productivity blocks joy and creates quiet exhaustion.How Awareness Creates Space for Joy Under Pressure – Discover why noticing your internal state is the doorway to sustainable joy, even in demanding environments.Why Joy Expands Impact Instead of Diminishing It – Learn how grounded joy strengthens leadership, trust, and influence rather than making work feel less serious.Returning to Your Natural State of Joy – Understand how reconnecting to your voice, body, and truth allows joy to grow exponentially over time.About the Guest:Kristin Joy Ekkens is the visionary founder of the Exponential Joy™ movement and creator of the Joy Operating System (JOYOS™)—a blueprint for conscious leadership, wellbeing, and human flourishing.

There are a lot of misconceptions of basic Buddhist teachings and in this talk Mary reflects on a few. The Buddha did not say that "Life is Suffering", but instead that there is suffering, and there is a way out. Additionally, equanimity and being present for what is, does not condone injustice or greed, hatred and ignorance. Buddhist practice is a way of being in the world and fully engaged with it.Recorded Jan. 2, 2025 in the virtual worldSend me a text with any questions or comments!

Manifesting isn't about wanting harder, visualizing longer, or thinking positively enough. In this episode of the LaidOPEN Podcast, Charna Cassell sits down with master manifestor, psychic medium, and intuitive Colette Baron-Reid to unpack why so many people feel stuck despite "doing all the right things" and what actually creates change. Colette shares her unconventional approach to manifestation through meditative drawing, a practice designed to retrain the brain, regulate the nervous system, and bring the body into alignment with what you're calling in. Together, they explore the science behind creativity and brain plasticity, why alignment matters more than intention, and how art can act as a bridge between intuition and reality. The conversation also weaves through Colette's personal spiritual journey, including her path to sobriety, her evolving relationship with a higher power, and the collaborative creation of her latest book. Along the way, Colette offers practical exercises and grounded insights you can use immediately to shift patterns, release emotional blocks, and approach manifestation as a lived practice rather than a fantasy. This episode is for anyone who feels like manifesting hasn't worked for them and is ready to understand why and how to do it differently.

So many of us make New Year's resolutions with the best intentions, only to watch them fade by February. This episode is a vital message for anyone who's ever felt discouraged by a "failed" resolution. It's not about lacking discipline; it's about a fundamental misunderstanding of how change truly happens. Inside this episode, we explore: The Resolution Trap: Why resolutions ask you to "try harder" and how this approach actually keeps your old identity in charge. Identity vs. Effort: The crucial difference between making resolutions and making decisions that redefine who you are. The Subconscious Mind: How your subconscious prioritizes safety and familiarity, and why it doesn't respond to hope or pressure. Intention vs. Decision: Understanding that intentions are directional, but decisions are final and non-negotiable. Alignment Over Force: How a shift in identity leads to effortless behavioral change, creating a sense of calm and regulation. The Power of Deciding: Why this year is about deciding who you are and what you want, not about trying harder. This is the episode for anyone ready to move beyond the cycle of resolutions and embrace a deeper, more powerful form of transformation by making definitive choices about their identity.

A new year doesn't need a louder pep talk; it needs a clearer compass. We start 2026 by trading resolutions for direction and building a plan around identity, not intensity. Through honest reflection on 2025—what made us proud and what quietly drained us—we sketch a practical framework to design a year you'll be proud to live, not just survive.We walk through four anchors that hold everything in place: health and energy, leadership and impact, craft and learning, and family and life. For health, we focus on consistency and recovery so progress compounds without burnout. For leadership, we commit to showing up authentically—coaching more than controlling, preparing for meetings with intention, and closing each day with a five-question reflection that checks whether we acted in line with our values. For craft, we go for depth over volume: fewer projects, fully finished, and psychology learning translated into actionable tools. For family, we protect presence with simple rituals and honest capacity, so the people closest to us experience our attention, not our leftovers.Two levers make the whole system work: time and autonomy. Guard them and your habits stick; lose them and everything drifts. We close with a challenge: define your anchors, choose habits that survive low‑motivation days, and decide what you'll say no to so your yes actually counts. Along the way, we preview upcoming conversations on emotional leadership, behavior change, and clear communication, plus a new Lead Better video series turning practical psychology into tools you can use.If this resonated, subscribe, share it with someone who needs a reset, and tell us your 2026 anchors.

Reflection gets skipped over in a culture that rewards speed, productivity, and visible wins. Most people want to jump straight to the next goal list without pausing to tell the truth about what they actually lived through. But reflection isn't some soft year-end ritual. It's a leadership skill and a requirement for building a strong personal brand.We live in a culture that often rewards movement, not meaning. Speed, productivity, and visible wins are celebrated, while reflection is frequently skipped. But reflection isn't a soft reset or a year-end ritual—it's a leadership skill and a critical foundation for building a personal brand that lasts.In this solo episode of Branding Room Only, Paula reflects on more than a decade of guiding intention and goal-setting work. She explores why moving faster isn't the same as moving intentionally, how clarity comes from honesty, and why alignment—not busyness—is what actually sustains growth. The episode surfaces the reflection questions that lead to real breakthroughs and the themes that show up year after year: rest as strategy, asking for help, letting go, and redefining success on your own terms.0:35 – Why reflection changes the quality of every decision that follows2:04 – Examples of how the power of intention quietly shapes alignment4:39 – How words of the year serve as a clarifying anchor6:31 – How vision boards are often misunderstood8:54 – What happens when rest is treated as a requirement, not a reward10:06 – Why doing everything alone isn't a strength10:57 – The freedom of letting go of tolerations that no longer fit11:57 – How reflection dismantles comparison without diminishing ambition12:48 – Reflective questions asked in these yearly sessions14:31 – What results can look like after going through this reflection16:01 – Why naming what matters to you protects your brand from autopilotMentioned In What Ten Years of Guiding Reflection and Goal-Setting With Others Has Taught Me2026 Annual Intention and Goal Setting WebinarPersonal Branding Strategy SessionsIf you enjoyed this episode, leave a 5-star review on your favorite podcast platform! Want more ways to grow your personal brand?

To kick off the new year, we're bringing you a special 2026 highlight reel compilation episode of The Leadership Launchpad Podcast - The Legacy Edition, curated from powerful conversations with expert guests who joined us throughout the previous year.While Susan Hobson and Tracey Allen are away, this episode brings together timeless insights from thought leaders, innovators, philosophers, and leadership practitioners answering one essential question:What is conscious leadership—and how do we actually practice it?Why conscious leadership begins with self-awareness and personal responsibilityHow leaders must learn to regulate their internal state before leading othersThe difference between fear-based leadership and conscious, intentional leadershipWhy navigating paradox, tension, and complexity is a core leadership skillHow empathy, accountability, courage, and clarity must be held simultaneouslyThe daily practices that build conscious leadership over timeWhy conscious leadership is essential in times of rapid change, uncertainty, and disruptionThis episode is not theory—it's wisdom drawn from lived experience, reflecting the inner work required to lead with clarity, integrity, and impact.As we step into 2026, consider this episode an invitation to pause, reflect, and ask yourself:How am I showing up as a leader?What am I practicing daily?And what does conscious leadership look like in my life—right now?

Megan chats with Christine Pittman, Meredith Kruse, and Melissa Erdelac about what makes Flavor Media Summit unlike any other blogging conference. This is an exclusive event for experienced food bloggers who have successful and income-generating businesses. Our goal is to unite accomplished food bloggers for strategic networking, empowering them to thrive, collaborate and ignite long-term growth in an exclusive and transformative gathering. Not all conferences are created equal. This episode pulls back the curtain on Flavor Media Summit and explains why experienced food bloggers keep returning year after year. From deep dive sessions and intentional speakers to real connection, real food, and real conversations, this is a look at what happens when an event is designed for growth instead of noise. What makes Flavor Media different: Smaller rooms create bigger breakthroughs: Real conversations happen when you are not lost in a crowd of thousands. Advanced topics deserve advanced spaces: Flavor Media is built for bloggers ready to move beyond the basics and level up. Speakers show up not just present: Attendees get real access to experts not just stage time sound bites. The third day changes everything: Hands on working sessions turn ideas into action fast. Luxury is about intention not flash: Every detail is designed to make attendees feel valued and supported. Food matters more than people admit: Breakfast, lunch, cocktail hour and the snack bar - inclusive, unique catering shape the entire experience. Community outlasts the conference: Relationships built here continue long after the event ends. Connect with Flavor Media Summit Website | Instagram

Instead of a Resolution Make an Intention Declaration Resoloution by Maine's Coast 93.1

As the Lunar New Year shifts from the introspective Year of the Snake into the bold, forward-moving Fire Horse, Adrienne, Natalie, and Nora pause—before picking up the reins.This isn't about starting over.It's about shedding what no longer fits and trusting the growth already in motion.In this opening episode of 2026, the three reflect on the wins, adaptations, and intentional discomfort of 2025—and how honoring what already happened creates steadier, more sustainable momentum moving forward.Together, they explore:What it meant to shed the Snake—old patterns, over-functioning, and quiet resentmentHow intentional discomfort became a practice of presence, not pressureSaying no sooner—and why that matteredListening to the body before the mind rushed aheadMeeting moments with awareness instead of reactionWhy 2026 doesn't require reinvention—just continuationWins aren't just accomplishments.They're adaptations. They're moments of staying present when it would've been easier to push through or check out.This conversation marks the shift from reflection to movement—without bypassing the pause.Nothing resets on January 1.But with the Fire Horse, we move forward clearer, more embodied, and a little more honest about what we're carrying with us.A grounded, honest beginning to 2026—together.

I share a simple four-question framework to help you clarify who you're becoming, how you want to feel, what you want to create, and what you want to experience—so your leadership feels grounded, human, and aligned. ✨ Vision gives you direction. ✨ Intention gives you energy. ✨ Your word keeps you anchored.

If you've been feeling the pressure—burnout for you, overwhelm for your teen, and a constant sense that everyone is behind—this conversation with Dr. Greg Hammer (Stanford physician, mindfulness teacher, and author) is a deep exhale. Ginny Yurich and Dr. Hammer talk about why teens are carrying stress we never had (smartphones, comparison, eco-anxiety, school fears), and why his simple GAIN practice—Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, and Nonjudgment—isn't “floofy,” it's a practical way to rewire the brain toward steadiness and joy. You'll hear why gratitude is the foundation of happiness, how “small bites” change family culture, and why nature itself can bring us back to the present where happiness actually lives.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Sarah Grynberg to explore what a life of greatness truly means when we strip away the noise of modern life.Sarah is a mindset coach, meditation teacher, podcast host of A Life of Greatness and author of Living a Life of Greatness. Through her own journey from burnout and external success to purpose, presence and inner alignment, she has spent years helping people reconnect with who they really are - beneath the pressure, expectations and fear that so often shape our choices.This episode is an invitation to pause at the start of a new year and reflect on a deeper question: Are you living from love or from fear?We talk about why most New Year's resolutions fail, how burnout can be a wake-up call rather than a breaking point, and why greatness isn't something we achieve - it's something we return to. Sarah shares insights from her work, her book and her conversations with some of the world's leading thinkers, reminding us that every moment offers a choice in how we move through the world.At its heart, this conversation is about quiet courage - the courage to choose alignment over pressure, intention over autopilot and love over fear. It's about redefining success, reconnecting with your inner voice and beginning the year from a place of clarity rather than chaos.If you're stepping into a new chapter and feeling the pull to live more consciously, more authentically and more aligned with who you truly are, this episode will meet you right where you are.Inside this podcast:- Why greatness is found in quiet, not noise- How burnout becomes a catalyst for real change- Why micro habits create lasting transformation- How intention and conscious awareness shape your life- Why choosing love over fear changes everythingConnect with Sarah:Instagram → https://bit.ly/4akQKBsLinkedIn  → https://bit.ly/4awz0Dn Website → https://bit.ly/4qwVNDQ Connect with Steve:Instagram → https://bit.ly/3KARQhR LinkedIn  → https://bit.ly/48sw8Vj Episode Highlights00:00:00 - Meet Sarah Grynberg00:03:00 - Defining greatness and why it looks different for everyone00:10:00 - Feedback, confidence, and protecting your inner world00:15:20 - New year intentions versus resolutions00:23:00 - Intention, purpose, and understanding your why00:30:00 - Living a life of greatness through love, not fear00:33:00 - Courage, comfort zones, and real personal change00:39:00 - Storytelling as connection and meaning00:46:00 - The gift of the ordinary day00:49:30 - Why we never truly arrive00:56:00 - Building a toolbox for life's challenges00:59:30 - Where to find Sarah and closing reflectionsABOUT THE PODCAST SHOWThe Noise of Life is a podcast that shares real stories, raw truths, and remarkable growth.

https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bizpod/360.107-Habits-1.mp3 Welcome back to the Business English Skills 360 podcast as we look at how to develop good habits for success at work. The start of a new year feels like the right time to make big resolutions, or promises to yourself. You're going to call people back promptly. You're going to keep a tidy desktop. You're going to stop reading new emails as soon as they come in. You're going to manage your time better. It sure feels great to make these resolutions. But what doesn't feel great is the realization in February that you haven't made good on any of your promises. In most cases, the problem is that people intuitively believe that setting a goal or making a resolution is enough. But it's not. Setting a goal without looking at the systems that support specific habits or behaviors is useless. Intention isn't enough. You need to break down what happens around habits, both good and bad, and create the right conditions for the right behaviors.

Have you ever considered how a few carefully chosen words could shape your year, your energy, your decisions, and the way you experience life? In this annual tradition, we share our personal practice of choosing intention words for the year ahead. This isn't about goals or resolutions. It's about choosing how you want to be, move through, and live your life. This year's process was deeper, slower, and more nuanced than in past years.  Intention words act like a GPS for your nervous system. They offer clarity and direction through challenge, and how the right words if chosen with care can become some of your most transformative tools for personal and professional growth. Whether you're new to this practice or returning to it, you'll find inspiration, permission, and a deep sense of possibility. Pearls of Wisdom: Intentions are not goals, they're a mindful orientation. They work at the nervous system level to support aligned action and self-compassionate growth. Choosing multiple words (including a stretch word) adds richness and dimension. Life is complex, and your words can meet that with grace. Words should feel aligned, not performative. Let go of judgment, and choose words that support the version of yourself you're growing into. Words are powerful tools for decision-making. Ask yourself: Will this make me feel wealthy, healthy, strategic, or exquisite? This practice is most powerful when done with intention, over time, and often with support. It's subtle but profoundly transformative work Reflection Questions: How do you want to feel at the end of next year? What do you want to experience emotionally, physically, and in your relationships? What version of yourself are you growing into? What does she wear, how does she lead, how does she make decisions? If you'd like support in choosing your own intention words and integrating them into your year, I offer this process within all of my 1:1 coaching and group programs. This work is gentle, profound, and truly life-changing.

In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show,  Ross sits down with Wil Reynolds—founder of Seer Interactive and an icon in the world of search—to explore how to play the long game in marketing, leadership, and entrepreneurship. Will doesn't hold back as he shares tactical insights into how AI is reshaping content creation, search, and discovery. From real-world applications of tools like PhantomBuster and Claude Code to personal philosophies about content, agency building, and mindset, this episode is loaded with actionable wisdom and candid perspective. Wil also opens up about what he'd do if he had to start over from scratch, the dangers of imposter syndrome, and how to use AI to interview subject matter experts in a scalable way. Key Takeaways and Insights: 1. Respect the Audience's Attention - Share only what you genuinely believe will teach someone something. - Use a simple gut-check: “Would I want to see this in my feed?” - Don't post to post—post to educate and create real value. 2. “Real Stuff” Builds Trust - The most resonant content is often the painful, honest, behind-the-scenes truth. - Being raw and human builds long-term sentiment—and turns strangers into future clients. - The posts that work are raw: mistakes, broken processes, real lessons. 3. Distribution Beats “Perfect Content Process” - Over-engineered content processes don't matter if nobody distributes the output. - Optimize for conversation + sharing, then adapt it for search after you know it hits. 4. Use Data + AI to Run Experiments (and Get Leverage) - Tools like PhantomBuster + Claude/Claude Code can turn LinkedIn into a research + lead engine. - Track who engages (titles, industries), then use that insight for outreach and pipeline planning. - Blend paid + organic data to spot waste/opportunity (e.g., language intent mismatches, “people also ask” signals). - The goal isn't replacing people — it's pulling real knowledge out of them faster. 5. Future-Proofing Means Adaptability - The real edge is staying unsatisfied with the status quo and constantly testing new approaches. - Leaders should make it safe to “break things” while learning—innovation is messy by nature. - Wil's focus isn't predicting 10 years out—it's preparing people now for automation shifts through skills, reps, and experimentation.

Ever find yourself stuck in drama, reacting before you think, or feeling powerless in situations you care about?  In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Donna Zajonc dives deep into the Drama Triangle and its positive alternative, The Empowerment Dynamic (TED). She and Darius explore how cultivating awareness, clarifying intention, and practicing self-compassion can turn automatic reactivity into conscious leadership and personal growth.
