Podcasts about intentional

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.

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 ​​

Send us a textIn this episode of Soul of Travel, Season 6: Women's Wisdom + Mindful Travel, presented by @journeywoman_original, Christine hosts a soulful conversation with Purvi Shah.Born a 3rd-generation Kenyan-Indian, Purvi's passion for travel was fueled from the road trips and visits to national parks around Kenya with her family as a child. Some of her earliest memories are watching elephants at a salt lick in the Aberdares. During her university years, she travelled extensively around Europe, USA, South America and Australia, but there was always a great pull to return home; her soul would always be in Africa. After starting a career in dentistry, Purvi met and launched a travel blog with her husband, Kamal, which would become Kampur Travel Diaries, which leads customized safaris throughout Africa with the tagline: Adventure With a Cause. Purvi now dedicates all her time to the company as a senior tour consultant and the head of sustainability, specializing in the little details that make travelers' safaris exceptional.Christine and Purvi discuss:· Transitioning from a traditional career to full-time tourism work in the field of impact-driven travel· How to emphasize storytelling and soul connection in travel · The power of impact initiatives that support community projects including menstrual equity, animal care, and education· Mindful entrepreneurship that focuses on trusting the process, following intuition, and aligning business with values· Intentional community-building through local guides and authentic cultural exchangeJoin Christine for this soulful conversation with Purvi Shah.

The pace of living is accelerating. I often feel like things are happening too quickly to process ... the reels are going too fast, the scrolls have too many colors, the information feed feels like a flood. I just can't process it all! Do you feel the same way? If so you need this conversation as much as I did. Carl Honoré is the grandfather of the "slow movement" — a Canadian born, UK-based author, journalist, and ​popular TED speaker​ whose first book, the 2004 long-running bestseller '​In Praise of Slowness​', sparked a global conversation about time, speed, and how we live. What's happened since 2004? Life has gotten even faster! Which makes his ideas and insights even more valuable. I love Carl's work so much I've read 'In Praise of Slowness' three times and enjoyed his tangential books on parenting in an era of hyper pressure ('​Under Pressure​') and making the most of our longer lives ('​Bolder​'). Carl is a warm, sagacious soul who oozes kindness and wisdom and in this conversation we talk about the best way to cook risotto, why you should read Orwell to your kids even in their 20s, how social media is changing travel, the benefits of learning new languages, the meaning of the phrase "tempo giusto", mindful ways to slow down our busy lives, and, of course, his 3 most formative books... Let's flip the page to Chapter 153 now...

Megan chats to Elena Davis about how to weather algorithm storms, refresh content with intention, and lean into authentic connection to keep growth alive. Cucina by Elena is a food blog for simple, high-quality, and flavorful Italian, American, Mexican-inspired, and Mediterranean recipes. Whether you're looking for an easy weeknight meal, a nostalgic family dish, or a stunning dessert, my recipes are made to be approachable, delicious, packed with real ingredients, and full of love. If you believe in the power of simple recipes that connect, comfort, and inspire, you're in the right place!  Elena shares her story of perseverance after multiple algorithm hits. She reveals the strategies that helped her revive traffic, from updating posts to leaning into community and experimenting with video and AI. Key points discussed include: - Community is the safety net: When algorithms shift and traffic tanks, it's your readers who will carry you through. - Update old content: Refreshing posts is often more powerful than creating new ones (and can bring key recipes back to life even after major drops). - Lean into SEO structure: Interlinking, pruning outdated posts, and cleaning up technical clutter. - Experiment with AI: Instead of fearing AI overviews, how can you use them to your advantage? Think writing simple summaries and recipe overviews that make your content AI-friendly, while still keeping it human. - Video is non-negotiable: Reels, YouTube, and TikTok aren't optional anymore. - Be memorable: Intentional branding can make your site unforgettable in a sea of recipe blogs. - Keep telling your story: Your background, culture, and experiences aren't boring. Readers need to hear them again and again to deepen connection and build brand trust. - Pinterest and email still work: Despite changing platforms, these steady drivers continue to bring results.

When it's needed most.

Have you ever thought of being an amateur as a good thing?Many of us learned from an early age that our worth was tied to excelling at what we do and turning it into something productive. And many leaders carry the belief that they must be certain, skilled, and polished at all times.But what if the exact opposite were true?When we allow ourselves to dabble, to be amateurs, to be just okay at things, our brains literally become more adaptable and our nervous systems learn to stay grounded in the midst of risk, uncertainty, and vulnerability. Just as importantly, leaders who model dabbling create spaces where families, teams, and communities are safe to embrace curiosity and exploration. Resilient leadership requires us to meet high-stakes challenges with adaptability, grounded presence, and compassion. Intentional amateurship prepares us for life's curveballs by building those skills in low-stakes settings.Today's guest returns to make the case for being a dabbler as a practice of freedom, resilience, and leadership. She shows us how choosing to play, experiment, and simply try expands our capacity for presence and courage.Karen Walrond is an award-winning author, speaker, and leadership coach on a mission to create a kindness revolution. Her books encourage readers to identify their values and inner light and use them to make the world brighter for others.  Audiences around the world have left her keynotes inspired with hope and a renewed determination to serve.  And her one-on-one leadership coaching sessions, workshops and retreats, rooted in the tenets of positive psychology coaching, have helped hundreds of clients unearth their gifts and past triumphs to lead with confidence, compassion and kindness.Karen and her family split their time between Houston, Texas, USA and Bath, Somerset, UK.Listen to the full episode to hear:The restorative power of doing something purely for the love of itHow following her curiosity has shaped Karen's career and how she protects her amateur pursuitsHow Karen's dabbling adventures tapped into her seven attributes of intentional amateurismHow intentional amateurship helps embed self-care, self-compassion, and self-transcendence into our livesHow practicing being an amateur helps us bring curiosity, compassion, and resilience to our leadershipWhy the humbling experiences of dabbling are a vital reminder for leaders that they're in it alongside their teamsLearn more about Karen Walrond:WebsiteInstagram: @heychookooloonksFacebook: @chookooloonksConnect on LinkedInThe Make Light Journal on SubstackIn Defense of Dabbling: The Brilliance of Being a Total AmateurRadiant Rebellion: Reclaim Aging, Practice Joy, and Raise a Little HellThe Lightmaker's Manifesto: How to Work for Change Without Losing Your JoyThe Beauty of Different: Observations of a Confident MisfitLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:Cherished Belonging: The Healing Power of Love in Divided Times, Gregory BoyleTattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion, Gregory BoyleGeorge Michael, Mary J.

Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst share some insights for small groups and Sunday School from Chuck Lawless. Some Highlights: The small group's purpose must be clear. Intentional organization matters. Workers must be trained. Concern must be focused on the lost. Pastoral care via the small group must be organized. The goal of the Sunday School class is to multiply, to “plant” another class from the current class. Space matters. The class must “go after” the lost.

Psychedelics offer a fresh snowfall over old patterns, but only you can decide how to sled down the mountain. Education and community are essential guides for that journey. In this episode, host Sharlee Dixon speaks with Linden Schaffer, an award-winning wellness entrepreneur, bestselling author, and expert with over 20 years of experience in the wellness and psychedelic spaces. Linden is the founder of Reveal, a global online community for women, and co-founder of the Los Angeles Women's Psychedelic Community, both dedicated to creating safe and informed spaces for exploration and healing. As a member of the Global Psychedelic Society team, she advocates for responsible and inclusive practices in the psychedelic movement. Her work has been featured in Forbes, Condé Nast Traveler, and ABC News, and she has spoken on stages including The New York Times Travel Show and Google Talks. In this conversation, Linden dismantles common misconceptions about psychedelics, explains her Five S's framework for safety (screening, set, setting, support, and sustainability), and discusses why these medicines require more than a one-time experience. We explore how psychedelics can address women's unique mental health challenges—from hormonal transitions to societal pressures, and why preparation, integration, and community support are non-negotiable for transformative healing. Whether you're curious, experienced, or supporting someone on this path, this episode offers practical wisdom for navigating psychedelic spaces with intention, agency, and informed consent.   For more information about Reveal and plant medicine, please visit: https://www.revealcommunity.world For more information about the Soul & Substance 8-week course, please visit: https://www.revealcommunity.world/soulsubstance Explore other courses offered by Reveal: https://www.revealcommunity.world/courses Connect with Reveal on Instagram: http://instagram.com/revealcommunity Connect with Reveal on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@reveal_community

Intentional Belonging -- Pastor Gina by Podcast by HSLC

Jesus called His followers the salt of the earth and light of the world, emphasizing their value and purpose. As salt, believers preserve spiritual health and purify their surroundings by standing firm against corruption. As light, they illuminate the path to Jesus for others. Rather than trying to influence masses, Jesus encourages focusing on our immediate influence zone—typically 3-5 people God has strategically placed in our lives.

This episode features Travis and producer Eric tackling one of the biggest, most uncomfortable truths about financial success: most people will never build real wealth—and the core reason isn't luck or the White House, but mindset. Drawing on decades of interviews with self-made success stories, Travis explains why belief in possibility—coupled with intentional action and environment—unlocks opportunities that most people never realize exist. The episode offers a wake-up call for anyone stuck in the “doom loop” of financial frustration and outlines specific, practical steps to break free and design a new future. On this episode we talk about:   Why most Americans will never build wealth (and what the data says about the top 10% vs. everyone else)   The single biggest mental barrier keeping people stuck in financial ruts—belief in what's possible for themselves   How environment, relationships, and content shape financial results (and how to intentionally re-engineer them)   Actionable frameworks for moving beyond circumstances, including the “inputs and outputs” model Travis uses with top performers   Practical advice for dealing with setbacks, self-doubt, and excuses in the wealth-building journey Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Wealth building starts with changing belief—if you don't believe it's possible, you'll never take the sustained action required to succeed.2.  Intentional shifts in environment, daily influences, and relationships are critical for breaking generational or circumstantial cycles of financial struggle.3.  Personal responsibility, not circumstances or politics, is the lever that brings change—everyone has the power to design an environment that shapes who they become. Notable Quotes   "You are now 100% a result of your choices, not a result of the environment that you grew up in."   "Nobody is going to come save you. You have the agency and responsibility to put things in motion to change your life."   "It's easier to take the action you need if everyone around you is doing the same thing—your environment is your secret weapon."

When we talk about health, most of us focus on diets, exercise programs, or even the latest weight-loss medications. But one element rarely gets enough attention: living with intention. Intentional living isn't just a feel-good buzzword. Research shows that when our daily habits align with our values, we see measurable improvements in blood sugar, blood pressure, immune function, and even cancer risk.  In fact, intentional living creates a powerful feedback loop: reducing stress hormones like cortisol, strengthening resilience, and anchoring us in self-love rather than self-criticism. Without this intentional foundation, even the “best” diets or medications can backfire, leading to muscle loss, burnout, or self-sabotage. On the flipside, small, value-driven changes act like compound interest, adding years of vibrant life to our “health bank.” How do we actually make intentional living sustainable? How do we rewire identity, self-talk, and even our microbiome to support long-term health? In this episode, I'm joined by Dipa Chauhan, a retired pharmacist turned functional medicine provider, author of Healing Habits, and creator of the Living Light Metabolic Reset Program.  After surviving life-threatening childbirth complications and reclaiming her health through nutrition, self-love, and lifestyle choices, she now helps others make intentional living both simple and sustainable. Together, we unpack the science, spirituality, and daily practices behind intentional health, and why even the smallest steps can transform your energy, resilience, and future.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Why identity matters more than willpower Unaddressed negative self-talk sabotages positive changes. How do you create the identity shift that makes new habits stick? -Personalized nutrition decoded Everyone responds to diets differently. Why do Mediterranean or paleo-style diets work differently depending on your genetics and microbiome? -Eating the rainbow, simplified What happens to blood sugar, immunity, and gut health when you build meals around color diversity? -Navigating social events with intention It can be challenging to stick to good eating habits in social settings. What practical strategies help you stay aligned with your values without missing out on connection or joy?   Guest Bio Dipa Chauhan is a Functional Medicine and Weight Loss Expert, co-founder of The Living Proof Institute, creator of the Living Light Metabolic Reset, and author of Healing Habits.

Pastor Kevin preaches this week on "Getting Intentional With Faith" from Psalm 145.

   We have so many topics today they won't all fit in the headline so hang in there as we cover it all.  We start with the epidemic of teen crime in KC as it's obvious many young thugs know they can't get in trouble.  Sunday night at a concert in KC at T-Mobile center, a large, developed, strong "minor" beat the living daylights out of an old man usher.   It's just awful.  You have to hear this story.    It was quite a day for President Trump as he put the United Nations on blast, warned Russia and watch his would be assassin convicted on all five counts.  But as he joked about the escalator not working at the U.N., it appears to be deliberate.  We have the deets.    Jimmy Kimmel returns and says some very nice things about Erica Kirk but also admitted he's not changing anyone's mind about anything.  So what's the point?  Why not just entertain?    It looks like Salvy is back next year for the Royals and we dive in to a pair of other stories.  One MLB player was at Charlie Kirk's memorial as a guest of Erica and isn't apologizing to anyone for leaving his team for a bit.  And have you been watching the Royals division the last 10 days or so?  It's looking like Detroit it about to blow it and maybe miss the playoffs entirely.    Mike Gundy is out at Oklahoma State football and he's always been one of my faves.  More drama at the Ryder Cup between Rory and Bryson.  Fans are unhappy that ESPN has added a new guest to Monday Night Football Countdown and the Missouri man that won the $1.7 billion Powerball has a plan for his future.

In this episode of the Pain and Performance Podcast, I sit down with Anu to explore how gut health impacts everything from energy and motivation to inflammation, mental health, and recovery.We dive into how your microbiome diversity shapes performance, why intentional eating matters more than most people realize, and how stress, exercise, sleep, and even mindset play key roles in gut health. Anu also shares her MBHR framework: Microbiome, Brain, Hormones, and Reframing mindset, and real patient stories that highlight how small, consistent changes can transform health.If you've ever struggled with fatigue, brain fog, cravings, or stubborn inflammation, this conversation will help you understand why your gut may be the missing link, and what you can do to fix it.Key Takeaways-- Gut diversity fuels motivation, dopamine, and higher performance.-- Intentional eating is one of the fastest ways to change gut health.-- Stress disrupts digestion, raises cortisol, and drives belly fat.-- Exercise reduces inflammation, boosts digestion, and supports microbial diversity.-- Gut imbalances influence cravings, brain fog, and mood.-- Targeted probiotics and prebiotics work — but not all strains help.-- Sleep and gut health are directly connected to cravings and insulin resistance.-- Food is either poison or medicine — cut triggers like sugar, gluten, and processed oils.-- The gut is the lead domino: fix it and you improve inflammation, weight, pain, and clarity.Gut health isn't just about digestion; it's about energy, clarity, recovery, and long-term vitality. Fix your gut, and you set the foundation for everything else.Links:DERRICKTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@drderrickInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/derrickbhines/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/@DrDerrickANU:Buy her book here: https://www.amazon.com/Flourish-Within-Feed-Lifelong-Health/dp/1954493797/ref=sr_1_1?crid=9Z49DJGUXZTJ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.kU7039-KFUhIHFg1Bnfc_syYtZkl3p_lrN1XOsYWxc1tN8OTrvwLud49ZtEIBefDWuc27ZRGlSurMIVr8TjbHcI_JzqgQiZYn4fj_7kuYG0Ng9cPow0tX3YvmjXpdC1ABJWiFaJAerr_dFxGgA7SggmStPW4VexQVDXw0i5GV6yn8paIzaFuSei3WzsI1zTTvmZCe9e9k7g5x9HQpBAQC7S1TPnQG0xyHgIecuegnws.uEqsN5zv2kS04bkIegNOaVNJvhrXBaroiWequAPsSAU&dib_tag=se&keywords=flourish+from+within&qid=1758677205&sprefix=flourish+f%2Caps%2C597&sr=8-1 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/9armsofwellness/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/@BadMedicinePodcastWebsite:https://www.9armsofwellness.com/
