Podcasts about intentional

In this Dad Edge Podcast episode, I'm joined by my son Ethan for a powerful father-son conversation about money, mistakes, and mindsets. But this episode goes way beyond budgeting tips. It's about the deeper fear, pressure, and responsibility men feel when it comes to providing and preparing the next generation.   We explore everything from cost of living fears to smart saving habits, early investing, and the emotional rollercoaster of becoming financially independent. Ethan shares candid reflections about what worries him most as a 19-year-old and the surprising movie that inspired his money mindset. This episode is filled with laughs, lessons, and the kind of intentional parenting that creates legacy.     EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS [0:00] – Introduction [1:02] – Why talking to our kids about money matters more than ever [3:49] – Celebrating transformation: The First Form Dad of the Month [15:21] – What scares Ethan most about adulting and financial independence [19:36] – The 20% rule and why most people never start saving [29:23] – Ethan's frugal mindset shift (inspired by a Jim Carrey movie!) [38:58] – Understanding assets vs. liabilities and why real estate matters [46:34] – Passive income, investing in apartments, and building wealth young [49:11] – The challenge to aggressively save while you have no bills [55:12] – New resource: 25 questions to spark deeper conversations in the car     5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   1. Start Financial Conversations Early Your kids are already forming money beliefs—talking about finances now sets them up with real tools and confidence. 2. Fear of Failing as a Provider Is Real Ethan opens up about the weight of becoming a provider and why young men need reassurance and education, not shame. 3. Saving While You Have No Bills is a Superpower We talk about how living at home can be a golden window to stack savings, invest early, and get a head start on life. 4. Assets Build Freedom—Liabilities Drain It From real estate to investments, we break down the difference between money that works for you vs. money you spend for status. 5. Legacy is Intentional, Not Accidental These conversations are how we pass down values, strategy, and strength. The way you talk about money sets your family's future.       LINKS & RESOURCES   25 Questions to Spark Connection with Your Kids: https://www.thedadedge.com/kidquestions Join the Dad Edge Alliance: https://www.thedadedge.com/alliance First Form Products: 1stphorm.com/dadedge Dad Edge Podcast Episodes: https://www.thedadedge.com/1391       If this episode sparked new conversations at your dinner table—or made you rethink your financial game plan—please rate, review, follow, and share the podcast.

We shouldn't have to apologize for taking our faith into the public square. It's not the only worldview in the public arena, and we have every right to live out our faith intentionally. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the need for us to stop hiding our Christian identity and instead shine the light of God's Kingdom purposefully in our homes and communities. We are responsible for instilling our biblical values and morals in the next generation, and that begins at our kitchen tables. It won't be easy. We will face pushback and hardship, but most things worth doing require discomfort and effort. Let's determine to do the difficult thing in pursuit of God.

Reach Out Via Text!In this Marriage Monday episode, Jeremiah and Savannah Jennings get real about the importance of slowing down, truly listening to your spouse, and being intentional with family time. They open up about how easy it is to slip into “go mode”  juggling kids, work, sports, and schedules until you realize you're living on autopilot. Through funny stories (like being humbled by their son telling them to “calm down”) and honest reflection, they unpack how listening communicates value, why multitasking kills connection, and how small choices like eating dinner without phones or taking a simple evening walk can change everything. It's a heartfelt reminder that your most meaningful moments don't need to be scheduled, they just need to be intentional.Support the show 10% off LMN Software- https://lmncompany.partnerlinks.io/growinggreenpodcast Signup for our Newsletter- https://mailchi.mp/942ae158aff5/newsletter-signup Book A Consult Call-https://stan.store/GrowingGreenPodcast Lawntrepreneur Academy-https://www.lawntrepreneuracademy.com/ The Landscaping Bookkeeper-https://thelandscapingbookkeeper.com/ Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/growinggreenlandscapes/ Email-ggreenlandscapes@gmail.com Growing Green Website- https://www.growinggreenlandscapes.com/

 One of the values that we have at Uplift Kids is helping families be intentional together, and this can look many, many different ways. Without *some* intentional time, there can be drifting apart and a lack of meaning. So we wanted to talk about ways to be intentional.One of the sources that we've pulled from in this episode is a book called The Intentional Family by a family therapist named William Doherty. Doherty talks about the need to balance rigidity and flexibility.This approach — an approach that might be called a "wisdom approach" — is something that we explore and hold to consistently at Uplift Kids. It's a "both-and" approach rather than an "either-or" approach. And so the idea here is that we want to find a way to have a bit of structure and flexibility, meaning *some* time together.In this episode we explore ways to make intentional time together.

Today we're talking about the value of intentional relationships—a key part of our discipleship process. Every group that launches doesn't just meet to study Scripture; they build real relationships by spending time together outside the sessions.

Our focus is on supporting small groups led by ordinary/everyday Christians. We have specialized discipleship tracks that center around Intimacy with Jesus, Intentional Relationships, and Multiplication.

You have to navigate an almost endless list of uncertainties when raising a child, and it's hard to figure out the best approach to parenting. At one end of the spectrum, you've got so-called helicopter parents, who micromanage every aspect of their children's lives, and at the other end parents who are so hands-off that some label them as lazy. Maybe sometimes they are lazy. But in other cases, letting kids learn from their mistakes is an intentional choice rather than pure laziness. You might think that stepping back means kisd are more likely to get into trouble. But that's not necessarily the case. The idea is to scale back constant parental involvement to help kids develop their own skills, problem-solving abilities, and independence. After all, if parents swoop in to solve every issue, how can children ever figure out how to manage on their own? Couldn't such an approach be seen as negligent? How does one become a “lazy” parent? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Rushkoff offers a new way to interpret what appears to be the intentional dismantling of society as we know it: an elite who have lost faith in the system that has served them until now, and who believe a controlled demolition of government and the economy will position them better for the chaos ahead. He argues that just because the elite are committed to the end of the world, Team Human doesn't have to be.

Chris and Matt Johnson dive deep into what it really takes to move from “good” to “great” in your personal fitness journey. Building on recent interviews, they bring the focus back to practical, in-house action steps — from designing a realistic workout plan to understanding the deeper connection between movement, mindset, and recovery.They explore the importance of place and time, how to build a sustainable exercise routine, and why most people start in the wrong place when trying to get back into shape.

What if the secret to better teamwork wasn't another system or software, but simply keeping it super simple?

What if feeling your best days weren't random at all but designed by what you did over the past 3 days?  We break down a simple, repeatable system to engineer energy, calm focus, and confident decisions by auditing the last 72 hours of sleep, food, movement, people, media, and thought patterns. Instead of chasing motivation, we build fertile “soil” so your potential has a fair shot to grow and your good choices become the default, not the exception.  Along the way, I share my own checklist for feeling and doing my best.  The goal isn't perfection; it's predictability.  With a simple morning question you can replicate great days on demand and avoid the patterns that lead to regret. If you're ready to design your state, improve your decisions, and grow the next version of you, this playbook will help you take off.  If this resonated, follow the show, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who's ready to build their own 72-hour playbook.    Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina Behavior-First, Executive and Optimal Performance Coach 360, Change Leadership & Culture Transformation Consultant

Fall has officially arrived! Even though it's not the start of a new year, it somehow “feels” like one, you know? There's just something about this season that feels fresh, intentional…and grounding. I'll be honest - I've always been (and always will be) a summer girl! I looove all things summer, and I've really worked on shifting my mindset to not “dread” fall (because honestly, winter and the cold is what I really dread).I've started leaning into what fall actually offers: structure, rhythm, and a sense of calm that fuels growth. The cooler weather alone helps regulate your nervous system, and fall creates a powerful “fresh start” effect (this has been sooo noticeable for me)!If you've been feeling that pull to reset your workouts, nutrition, or mindset, this is your sign to do it NOW. You don't need to wait for January to shift from chaos into intentional action with your life.This is the season to slow down with purpose, and actually DO the sh*t you said you'd do this year. Decide what matters for you, get laser-focused, and pour your energy there so you CAN be excited (and in control) as we head into the holiday season!Episode recap:My past mindset and struggles with the fall seasonThe real reasons fall feels both calm AND motivatingHow the “fresh start” energy of fall impacts motivation Simple shifts to help you transition from summer chaos to fall intentionalityHow to assess your mindset, time management & what's actually fueling you right nowWhy clarity, purpose & focused action matter MOST in this seasonLinks/Resources:Listen to the Sol Fit 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!

In this episode, I sit down with Noah Vertefeuille, founder of Timber Marketing, to talk about email as a quiet but powerful tool for building trust.  We dig into how to make email feel personal, what to send when you've gone silent for a while, and why segmentation doesn't have to be complicated. Noah also shares his approach to weaving in stories so your emails feel more like conversations, and less like sales pitches. This is your reminder: trust builds best when it feels human. In this episode of the podcast, we talk about: Why email marketing works best as a conversation How to re-engage your list after silence Where to start with segmentation (without overwhelm) Story-driven emails that feel more human Why email is the core of your marketing strategy …And More!   This Episode Was Made Possible By: Riverside All-in-One Podcast & Video Platform Visit Riverside and use the code DREA to get 15% off any Riverside individual plan.

Are you ready to transform your travel experiences into moments of depth and personal growth? In today's fast-paced world, travel has become more than just checking destinations off a list. It's about immersing yourself in new cultures, embracing challenges, and living with intention. This concept of intentional travel was the highlight of our recent conversation with Kelly Fischer.Traveling often promises the allure of adventure and the temptation of Instagram-worthy spots. Yet, as Kelly shares, it's about the deeper experiences found beyond the crowded tourist traps and social media snapshots. These are the moments where you find yourself truly present, whether you're savoring a buttery croissant in France or navigating an unknown village in northern Italy.Kelly's adventures highlight how stepping into the unknown isn't just about seeing new places; it's about personal growth. Surrounded by the unfamiliar, she found a deeper trust in herself and an ability to embrace the unexpected twists of travel. Her story reminds us that even the journey itself, with all its challenges and surprises, is just as rewarding as the destination.We talk about:00:00 Intro03:25 Building Conscious Brands05:58 Living with Depth and Presence12:39 Kelly's Journey to Italy15:38 Embracing Uncomfortable Growth19:40 The Value of Intentional Travel24:22 Advice on Taking Leaps of Faith26:36 The Power of Curiosity and Learning28:33 Living in the Present Moment32:03 Maintaining Wellness Routines While Traveling34:50 The Concept of Pocketing Experiences41:24 Rapid Fire Travel QuestionsResources & Links:Ready for your next adventure?

This week on Minimalish, I'm joined by KyAnn Molina, a wife, homeschooling mom of three little ones 5 and under, and host of the Simple Rhythms for Busy Moms podcast.  In our conversation, KyAnn and I talk about the importance of intentional routines in motherhood, especially when you're juggling work, keeping up with your home, and family life. She shares openly about her own journey with postpartum depression and how it shaped her approach to routines and why mental health and self-care matter so much for moms.

If your days feel like a relentless sprint—from school drop-offs to late-night routines—you're not alone. In this short and powerful solo episode, I open up about the challenges of maintaining intimacy, presence, and intention in marriage when life gets overwhelmingly busy. With fall sports, kid activities, and work responsibilities piling up, it's all too easy to slip into “roommate mode” with your spouse.   But here's the truth: Strong families start with strong marriages. I share three deeply practical ways to create micro-moments of connection, build intentional rituals, and avoid emotional drift. Whether it's through a 30-minute walk, a forehead kiss, or a late-night two-minute check-in, this episode is your reminder that you're not just co-parents—you're still each other's chosen partner.     Episode Highlights   [0:00] - Introduction [1:05] - Why strong marriages are the foundation of strong families [2:55] - The common trap of prioritizing everything but your marriage [4:46] - The September-October “whiplash” that hits most parents hard [5:43] - Celebrating the release of The Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood [8:19] - How an unbalanced focus on your kids can erode your marriage [10:09] - The power of micro-moments: texts, sticky notes, forehead kisses [12:31] - Creative date ideas (even when time is scarce) [14:29] - Why sometimes the world has to suffer—but your marriage shouldn't [15:14] - End-of-day rituals that spark closeness even in exhaustion [17:41] - The compound interest effect of tiny deposits in your marriage [18:03] - You are more than a co-parent—you're still her Casanova [19:13] - A free 21-day email series to help you build an extraordinary marriage [20:54] - Final rally cry: be uncommon, be legendary     5 Key Takeaways   1. Strong Marriages Build Strong Families When your marriage is thriving, it naturally strengthens the emotional climate of your entire home. Don't neglect the foundation. 2. Micro-Moments Matter More Than Grand Gestures A quick kiss, a thoughtful note, or a midday “thinking of you” text can do more for connection than elaborate plans you never get to. 3. Busy Seasons Are Inevitable—Disconnection Isn't Just because life is chaotic doesn't mean your relationship has to suffer. Intention and awareness are your defense against emotional drift. 4. You're Still Her Lover, Not Just Her Co-Parent The role of “dad” is important—but don't forget you were her partner first. That romance needs nurturing, especially when time is tight. 5. Investing in Your Marriage Pays Long-Term Dividends Like compound interest, the small daily investments you make in your marriage build a future of closeness, trust, and enduring partnership.       Links & Resources     Get your copy of The Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood + two free courses: https://thedadedge.com/legendarybook Join the Dad Edge Alliance (Elite Brotherhood): https://thedadedge.com/alliance Explore the Dad Edge Business Boardroom: https://thedadedge.com/businessboardroom Free 21-Day Email Series: 3 Marriage Skills at a Time: https://thedadedge.com/extraordinary-marriage/       If this episode helped reignite your drive to be more intentional in your marriage, please rate, follow, and review the show.

Stepfamilies: Why do we feel so differently about stepkids versus our own? In this episode of the  Nacho Kids Podcast, hosts Lori and David get real about the honest, sometimes awkward truths of parenting in blended families. Tune in for relatable stories and candid conversations about how Lori and David each navigated the differences in parenting their biological kids and stepkids: from fixing breakfast, handling car insurance stress, and reacting to cereal bowls left on the counter. You'll hear them wrestle with those moments when their feelings and priorities aren't the same for “yours” and “mine,” and why that's natural, not shameful. The hosts share personal experiences with their grandkids and step-grandkids, discussing the guilt and expectations that come with loving stepchildren, and reflect on how relationships evolve as the kids grow up. Listeners will learn: Why step and bio parents often react differently—and why that's normal How to approach car insurance, chores, and family events without losing your mind Tips for discussing expectations around finances, discipline, and love in a blended family The impact of child support, and how family structure changes from one generation to the next Nacho Kids Testimonial: "Nachoing gave me peace without guilt.

Ever find yourself shrinking back in groups, even ones where you should feel at home? Maybe you're posting less in online communities or keeping your wins quiet because you don't want to be "too much"? That's the witch wound at work, and it's time to talk about it.In this episode of Stay Magic, Sara explores how the witch wound wasn't created in isolation and it sure as hell can't be healed there either. This is about the difference between fitting in (exhausting) and truly belonging (transformative), and why so many spiritual women are accidentally deepening their witch wound by choosing invisibility over community.You'll discover:Why the witch wound was literally created in community and what that means for your healing journey todayThe Stanford study that revealed how professional women practice "intentional invisibility" to avoid conflict (and how this keeps you small)The crucial difference between belonging and fitting in, and why trying to fit in actually widens your witch woundHow being witnessed and celebrated (not validated) is essential medicine for reclaiming your power as a witchy womanThree signs you're self-excluding from community and what to do about it insteadThis is your permission slip to stop hiding the parts of you that feel too witchy, too powerful, or too much. Because here's the truth: your magic isn't meant to be whispered in the shadows. It's meant to be shared, witnessed, and celebrated in community.Ready to heal your witch wound with other women who get it?

Send us a textDoes comprehensible input still matter at the intermediate level? Absolutely. In this conversation with Gary DiBianca, he shares how he “levels up” intermediate classes by centering CI, intentionally modeling structures students can recycle (time frames, connectors, question stems), and layering authentic resources that stretch comprehension without overwhelming learners.You'll hear:What changes—and what doesn't—at intermediate: same CI foundation, deeper themes, tighter recycling, and clear routines.Goals that motivate growth: build confidence, boost spontaneous output, and move toward Intermediate High targets while honoring each student's starting point.Planning that works: start with an anchor text/story written for learners, then layer authentic materials (infographics, short news videos, songs, podcast clips) and guided discussion.Intentional structures > grammar dumps: model multiple time frames (present, past, future, would), connectors/transition words, and question formation inside meaningful input; zoom in on form only when it serves comprehension.Keep it fun: why story-asking and playful tasks still matter at upper levels.From input to output: scaffolded discussion days, visible vocabulary, sentence starters, and rubrics that cue learners to agree/disagree, ask follow-ups, give examples, and actually move the conversation.Try tomorrow: run a Cultural Picture Talk for Intermediates. Model the language you want to hear later—then watch output grow.Resources mentioned:Gary DiBianca ResourcesSocratic Seminar: Gary DiBiancaMore resources:Join the waitlist for Growing With Proficiency: The Spanish Teacher Academy → growingwithproficiency.com/academyFollow me on Instagram @claudiamelliott ​​
