From handling employee mistakes with empathy to navigating the "octopus and wizard" traps of burnout, Ashley provides practical "real talk" for anyone responsible for the careers and lives of others.

Ashley recently smiled at Chiquita. She loves their banana stickers that claim they are "likely the best snack on earth."

Today, you're guided to release anxiety by integrating what you learned into a lived, repeatable practice. This final episode guides you through a gentle weekly reflection to help your nervous system remember what worked: how anxiety showed up in your body, which tools helped most, and how to carry forward a simple one-minute calming routine.

If you want lasting anxiety relief, this episode helps you embody calm—not as perfection, but as practice.

In Day 6 of Anxiety Alchemy Week, the arc is Balance—releasing anxiety by layering the week's most effective practices into one calming sequence you can use anytime. This episode combines a longer-exhale breathing technique (Anchor Breath), a grounding focus, Prithvi Mudra for emotional protection, and a solar plexus (3rd chakra) nurturing practice to restore steadiness and self-trust.

If you've been feeling overstimulated, reactive, or scattered, this layered meditation will help you come back to calm, clear balance—one breath at a time. Featured practice: Layered balance stack (Release + Rest + Ground + Protect + Nurture) Best time to practice: transitions, before conversations, before sleep, after overstimulation Intention: restore inner steadiness and reduce anxiety spirals This is day 6 of a 7-day meditation series, "Anxiety Alchemy Week,"  episodes 3451-3457.

In this episode, Modern Mind therapist Tess Hochberger talks with fellow therapist Yaron Schwartzman about divorce, conscious uncoupling, and co-parenting through a thoughtful, humane lens. Drawing on both professional and personal experience, they explore why divorce is often seen as failure, how conflict can escalate, and what it looks like to slow things down and lead with care, especially for the sake of children. This episode is for anyone navigating separation, co-parenting, or supporting families through uncoupling, and offers a grounded reminder that while relationships may end, responsibility, care, and connection don't have to.LOVELINK is hosted by Brooklyn-based therapists Dr. Signe Simon and Dr. Simone Humphrey.

Are New Year's resolutions helping your mental health, or quietly burning you out? In this episode of the Get Psyched Podcast, we unpack the difference between resolution culture and intention setting, and why the way we approach change can deeply impact our emotional well-being, self-worth, and nervous system.Resolution culture often tells us we need to fix or reinvent ourselves to be worthy. Intention, on the other hand, invites curiosity, compassion, and sustainable growth. We explore how shifting your mindset from “have to” → “get to” can reduce anxiety, increase motivation, and support long-term mental wellness.Today, we explore:

In this episode of Soul Elevation, I was honored to sit down with Raymon Grace, a powerful, down-to-earth teacher known for making dowsing and energy work feel practical, accessible, and empowering. Raymon shares the core principles behind his work, including the idea that all things are energy, that energy follows thought, and that the human mind can intentionally direct energy to create real-world change. This conversation is packed with stories, live demonstrations, and straight talk about personal sovereignty. We explore energy hygiene in everyday spaces like schools, workplaces, and homes, plus Raymon's perspective on clearing negative influences, transforming heavy environments into harmony, and reclaiming the freedom to live from your own inner authority. You'll also hear Raymon's approach to using a pendulum as a tool (not a source of power), how intention and confidence change outcomes, and why he believes the most important thing isn't what he can do, but what you can learn to do for yourself.   In this episode, we cover: Why Raymon believes freedom is the foundation of a sovereign life The core idea behind his work: energy is impressed upon matter and energy follows thought How he uses dowsing to evaluate and clear energy in schools, including what he checks first How intention can be used to shift the energetic quality of spaces, people, and environments Real-time demonstrations and stories that illustrate how results build confidence Why Raymon teaches energy tools to parents, and why he cares deeply about kids and schools Stories about transforming environments, including accounts involving water, land, and weather patterns Why he emphasizes self-empowerment over dependency, and how to start practicing simply How to connect with Raymon's work and resources   Resources and links: Raymon Grace websites: https://www.RaymonGrace.us and https://www.raymongracefoundation.org  Explore Kara's sanctuary of support at https://www.karagoodwin.com (book, free meditations, workshops, summits, and live experiences) Subscribe to my new Soul Meditation CLIPS channel for more inspiration: https://www.youtube.com/@SoulElevationClips?sub_confirmation=1    Support the show If this episode uplifted you, please like, subscribe, comment, and share.

David Bach joins Steve Chen to discuss the evolution of The Automatic Millionaire and his newest idea, the IRA Flat Tax, which aims to rethink how Americans use their retirement savings. Bach explains that decades of automation have helped millions accumulate wealth, but most retirees now delay spending their money until required minimum distributions, leaving trillions of dollars idle. He proposes a limited window allowing early retirement withdrawals at a flat tax rate to encourage spending, improve retiree quality of life, and stimulate the economy. The conversation also explores the difficulty of shifting from saving to spending, the importance of enjoying wealth while health allows, and how AI is reshaping financial planning without replacing the need for human guidance, reinforcing Bach's long-held belief that money is ultimately a tool to support a better life.

Rodney Crowell, often called a “songwriter's songwriter” and a foundational voice in Americana, joins Rhett for a conversation about intention, craft, and the long game of staying creatively alive. Crowell shares hard-won lessons about process: how spending time on memoir pages puts him in a “workshop of words,” so that when he turns back to the guitar he's already thinking in language. He talks about patience as the difference between forcing a song and letting it reveal itself, his approach to collaboration, the discipline of revision, and how creative confidence is built the unglamorous way: by showing up for the work, again and again. His new album “Airline Highway” is available now. Follow Rodney @rodneyjcrowell Follow Rhett @rhettmiller Wheels Off is hosted and produced by Rhett Miller.

Hello mes chers amis, ici Pauline.Je suis ravie de vous retrouver aujourd'hui pour une leçon du mercredi un peu particulière, dans laquelle j'avais envie de vous apporter quelque chose de très simple, très concret, et pourtant souvent négligé : votre énergie.On nous a appris à gérer notre temps, à optimiser nos agendas, à prioriser nos tâches.Mais très peu à préserver et maximiser notre énergie, alors même qu'elle est l'une de nos ressources les plus précieuses.Dans cette leçon, je partage avec vous trois micro-actions, accessibles à tous, qui prennent quelques minutes par jour et qui peuvent pourtant faire une vraie différence dans votre quotidien.Pas besoin de tout changer, ni d'y consacrer des heures. L'idée, au contraire, est de reprendre les rênes de votre énergie sans pression ni injonction, pour vous sentir mieux, durer dans le temps et avancer avec plus de clarté et d'élan.Bonne écoute ✨CHAPITRAGE 00:00 – Introduction : pourquoi l'énergie est une ressource clé02:20 – Gérer son énergie plutôt que son temps04:40 – Micro-action n°1 : s'hydrater intelligemment au quotidien12:20 – Micro-action n°2 : préparer ses vêtements pour alléger la charge mentale19:20 – Micro-action n°3 : le journal de fierté pour renforcer la confiance27:10 – Intention, régularité et impact sur le long terme#LeçonDuMercredi #Énergie #BienÊtre #PerformanceDurable #Habitudes #MicroActions #ClartéMentale #Longévité #EntreprendreSaVie #PaulineLaigneau #PodcastNotes et références de l'épisode Pour retrouver la formation “Energie Reset : Alimentation, sport, sommeil, apparence, clarté mentale”Sur Demian.educationPour retrouver l'épisode avec Bénédicte Burguet : Sur YouTubeSur SpotifySur Apple PodcastPour retrouver le livre Atomic Habits de James ClearVous pouvez consulter notre politique de confidentialité sur https://art19.com/privacy ainsi que la notice de confidentialité de la Californie sur https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

After recently being triggered by a comment left on a social media post, the experience showed me how far I've come from that little girl within that was teased and bullied. It gave me the opportunity to show up for her, stand up for her, and it also gave me fuel to keep going. I hope this discussion does the same for you and your inner child.

Building with Intention: How the Healthcare Fellowship Is Shaping Better Outcomes Recorded live from the DPR Healthcare Fellowship Summit in Scottsdale, Arizona As healthcare systems demand faster delivery, greater coordination, and measurable value, one thing is becoming clear: technical expertise alone isn't enough. In this episode of Constructing With Care, host Leslie Tulio explores how DPR Construction's Healthcare Fellowship is redefining what it means to build healthcare facilities — by grounding project delivery in clinical insight, empathy, and patient-centered thinking. Recorded at the DPR Healthcare Fellowship Summit, this episode features perspectives from fellowship leaders and participants who share how deeper understanding of clinical workflows, patient flow, and hospital operations is leading to more predictable outcomes and stronger collaboration. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why the Healthcare Fellowship was created to address the "why" behind healthcare spaces — not just the "what" How clinical operations, funding models, and patient-centered care are integrated into the fellowship curriculum Why empathy and early engagement reduce risk and improve project predictability How fellowship-trained builders are changing job site culture by connecting trades to patient outcomes What "go slow to go fast" really means in healthcare construction Episode Timeline Highlights: 00:00 – 01:10: Introduction & purpose of the Healthcare Fellowship 01:10 – 04:30: Why the fellowship was created and how it bridges gaps between builders and healthcare leaders 04:30 – 06:50: Fellowship impact on project teams and job site culture 06:50 – 08:10: Integrated delivery, early engagement, and complex healthcare challenges 08:10 – 10:40: "Go slow to go fast" — designing and building with intention 10:40 – End: Fellowship outcomes and closing reflections Learn More Explore more healthcare construction insights and episodes at: constructingwithcare.com  Subscribe to Constructing With Care on your favorite podcast platform, and follow DPR Construction on LinkedIn and YouTube for featured content.  

Sam Bernstein, COO of Chelsea Piers, sat down with Club Solutions Magazine podcast host Rachel Chonko to discuss the brand's growth and new locations.

Practice the Ground arc—releasing anxiety by returning to your body and the present moment. This episode teaches a simple, science-supported breathing practice called Anchor Breath (inhale 4, exhale 6–8) designed to calm stress arousal by extending the exhale and signaling safety to the nervous system. You'll hear a relatable story about morning anxiety and learn how to use grounding in everyday transitions—before your phone, before difficult conversations, and whenever your thoughts start to spiral. If you've been feeling scattered, tense, or mentally "up in the air," this episode will help you land in steadiness again—one breath at a time. Technique used: Anchor Breath (4 in / 6–8 out) x 8 rounds Best time to practice: mornings, evenings, before transitions, before stressful interactions Intention: release anxious urgency and reconnect to calm presence This is day 3 of a 7-day meditation series, "Anxiety Alchemy Week,"  episodes 3451-3457. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY: Welcome to The Anxiety Alchemy Week—a 7-day meditation series designed to help you release anxiety and transform that restless, buzzing energy into calm clarity and steady confidence. Each day, you'll be guided through a simple, body-based practice—breathwork, visualization, and gentle mindfulness—so you can soothe your nervous system, quiet spiraling thoughts, and feel more grounded in real life (not just during meditation). Think of this week as a soft return to yourself: less bracing, less overthinking, and more ease in your body, your choices, and your day. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "Anxiety Reset Que Challenge" Choose one daily "reset cue"—each time you touch a door handle, open your phone, or sit down, take one long exhale (or one round of your day's breath). Track it with 7 checkmarks (one per day) and notice the moment your body starts to relax faster—proof your nervous system is learning. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Day 1:  Anxiety Reset Visualization Day 2:  Affirmation: "I trust myself to meet this moment." Day 3:  Anchor Breathing: inhale 4, exhale 6–8, repeat 8 rounds. (If 6–8 feels too long, do 4 in / 5 out.) Day 4:  Prithi Mudra for clarity Day 5:  Third Chakra for compassion Day 6:  Anxiety Reset Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

The Buddha's teaching on Wise Speech remains as important and necessary today as it did over 2,500 years ago. It may be even more important to be grounded in wisdom and clarity because there are so many more ways to interact with each other and we see the impact and harm of unwise speech around us on a daily basis.

Welcome to Follow Your Gut. Daily Anchors.I'm Juniper, and I'll be guiding you in this daily embodiment practice for grounding, expansion, and self-leadership.Today's anchoring practice is about gratitude, affirmation, and intention. Not as concepts, but as daily practices that change how your body experiences life.So often, especially when we are healing or supporting our child or someone we love through healing, our attention becomes very zoomed in. We focus on what's wrong, what needs to change, what feels hard, what still isn't better yet.This makes sense. Our brains are wired to look for problems to solve.But when we live only in that zoomed-in space, we unintentionally give more power to what feels broken than to what is actually working. And over time, that keeps the nervous system in a state of vigilance instead of safety.Gratitude is one of the most powerful ways to gently zoom out.Not to bypass the pain.Not to pretend things are perfect.But to remind your body that life is happening right now, and there is more here than just what feels hard.Gratitude creates safety.And safety is what allows affirmation to actually land in the body.As you come out of this practice, take a moment to gently set your anchors for the day.Today, I commit to nourishing my body with microbiome friendly food and abundant water.Today, I choose to support my mind, brain, nervous system, and liver with my rebalancing or maintenance supplements.Today, I trust that I am safe, and that everything is always working for me.And today, I will choose one small action that supports the life I am affirming.Let this practice orient your day and remind you that alignment is built through small, consistent choices.May your heart feel supported, your body feel safe, and your intuition lead your day.Trust your body. Follow your gut. Thanks for listening!

Chad reacts to some news today involving Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison.

Many people don't consciously design their lifestyle—they drift into it. We are creatures of habit so our calendars fill up, commitments accumulate, and before long life feels busy but misaligned. Designing your lifestyle with intention means stepping back to ask thoughtful questions about how you want to live, work, and relate in this season of life. Especially at mid-career or halftime of life, this process isn't about starting over—it's about aligning what you already have with what matters most now. At lease every year, if not more often, I stop and evaluate where I'm at and what the road ahead realistically looks like. I can then better plan and cut what is unnecessary and not be overwhelmed. We will cover some of the basics of that planning in today's episode.

In this episode of "Uncomplicating Business," I sit down with my fabulous friend and business growth expert, Tracy Beavers about how trusting yourself, staying flexible in your planning, and taking consistent action are the real keys to business success. We talk imposter syndrome, figuring out the tech (hello, YouTube tutorials!), and making space for both fun and connection on the way to success.Key takeaways:- Trust isn't one-size-fits-all—sometimes it's about betting on yourself in a big way, and sometimes it's tiny daily acts of faith that move you forward;- Planning is essential, but the magic is in being willing to pivot and stay curious when life (or business) brings the unexpected.- Consistency is about commitment, not rigidity—showing up authentically matters more than sticking to a perfect plan.- The heart of business growth is connection; start with a simple coffee chat or DM—because you never know what opportunities might come from new relationships.Ready for all of this goodness (and then some!) to start your 2026?

In this episode, I'm sharing why I've moved away from setting traditional New Year's resolutions and what has actually helped me create meaningful, sustainable change. Over the years, I realized that rigid goals built around doing more or being more often led to frustration and burnout. What made the biggest difference for me wasn't changing my habits first, but changing how I think and talk to myself. That's when I started choosing a word of the year as a way to anchor my mindset.This year, my word is abundance. Instead of constantly telling myself I don't have enough time, energy, or capacity, I'm intentionally shifting toward believing that I do. That small mindset change has already helped me feel calmer, less reactive, and more present in my work and my life. Abundance isn't about doing more or being busier. It's about viewing my circumstances differently so I can make better, more intentional choices throughout the day.I also invited the Stellar Teacher team to share their words for the year and the mindset shifts they're hoping to create. Words like active, downshift, enough, restore, ease, and unoffendable reflect a shared desire to work and live with more clarity, sustainability, and self-trust. As you head into this year, I invite you to choose one word that grounds you, supports you, and reminds you how you want to feel both in and out of the classroom.Join us in the Stellar Literacy Collective Membership: stellarteacher.com/join!Sign up for my FREE private podcast, the Confident Writer Systems Series, here!Sign up for my FREE Revision Made Easy email series here!Follow me on Instagram @thestellarteachercompany.To check out all of the resources from this episode, head to the show notes: https://www.stellarteacher.com/episode288.

We go deep on identity, self-talk, entrepreneurship, and why simple daily practices (like swiping on a gloss) can re-wire your brain for confidence.

I am confident. I am loved." Repeat while getting ready. Choose one "I AM" you want to embody this week and stack proof (write 3 ways you lived it today).

“People are weary of so many theories, now they want practical matters. They do not want more theories, or more intellectual vagueness, or more exploitation. So, let us come to practical facts. Let us come to the point.” —Samael Aun Weor, The Major Mysteries Enacting enlightened, compassionate, or conscious love is different from intending it. While intention and action are different, they are both needed to awaken and develop bodhichitta. See how through an exploration of Tibetan Buddhist psychology and Gnostic exercises.

"Our Beginnings and His Intention" Genesis 1:26-31`; 2:18-24 Rev. Dr Alec Flynt

Intention is generally viewed as a pit-bull kind of determination, propelling one to succeed at all costs by never giving up on an inner picture. In this view, an attitude that combines hard work with an indefatigable drive toward excellence is the way to succeed. Dr. Dyer views intention differently and explains it as a force in the universe, and everything and everyone is connected to this invisible force that allows the act of creation to take place.One of Larry's favorite books is The Power of Intention by Dr. Wayne Dyer. Listen as he shares some thoughts from this book. (The Power of Intention by Wayne W. Dyer was published by Hay House is available from most book sellers.)Support the show

Why does winter affect our mood—and why are teens especially vulnerable? Amy talks with Dr. Greg Hammer, author of the book A MINDFUL TEEN, about the science behind the winter blues, teen mental health, and how simple mindfulness practices can help families feel better. Dr. Hammer explains how reduced sunlight, disrupted sleep, less physical activity, and holiday stress all contribute to seasonal mood changes—and why teens, who are already sleep-deprived and under pressure, can struggle even more during the winter months. The conversation explores the difference between everyday winter blues and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), and when parents should consider professional support. Amy and Dr. Hammer also discuss the definition of "mindfulness" and the GAIN method—Dr. Hammer's practical, accessible framework built around Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, and Non-Judgment. Dr. Hammer shares how mindfulness can be practiced in as little as three minutes a day, why self-judgment fuels stress and burnout, and how parents can model emotional regulation without lecturing their teens.

Join us for an insightful conversation with Arica Netterville, a powerhouse entrepreneur and podcaster with 25 years of experience in business development and branding. In this episode, Arica discusses how building a successful brand is not about overnight fame, but about establishing a consistent community presence across over 30 platforms. She reveals that the path to growth is paved with challenges—from name-hijacking to social media hacks—but emphasizes that once you manifest clarity and resilience, explosive authority and opportunities naturally follow. Discover how to build authority by leveraging your existing proof—such as Arica's three-time award-winning podcast and her national ranking of 174 in the nation.

As an investor, being intentional about identifying assumptions is extremely important. When you're mindless, you accept things as they are without realizing you're walking on thin ice while everyone else thinks it's solid ground.

Do you ever wonder if the quietest voice in the room can truly lead—and win—in a world built for extroverts? This episode of Do Good to Lead Well is a refreshing, insightful journey into that very question, as I sit down with Benjamin Friedman, author of “Silent Strength: The Introvert's Guide to Building Successful Startups.”The conversation opens with Benjamin's “me-search;” his personal and professional quest to understand how introverts can succeed when the business world often favors extroverted traits. Can an introvert be authentic and ambitious, all while driving top-tier results? Absolutely, says Benjamin, but it's all about leveraging your way of being, rather than trying to fit someone else's mold.Listeners will come away with practical advice for managing meetings, leveraging networks, and navigating self-doubt. He also shares tools for raising our self-awareness, the power of a “challenge network,” and the importance of aligning values with the people you build alongside. When fear or imposter syndrome strikes, Friedman reframes those moments as evidence you care and offers ways to harness uncertainty as fuel for growth.The common thread throughout this episode is one of curiosity and vulnerability. It is about questioning our assumptions and beliefs while building a roadmap to authentic success.
