We're diving into the idea of our circles of acceptance today. How big is your circle of love and understanding? I've been thinking about how our perspectives change as we grow up, from a tiny circle in childhood to something much larger as adults. It's fascinating to look at how our circles can expand or contract based on our experiences and feelings. I'll be sharing some insights on this journey and how it affects our relationships with ourselves and others. Plus, I've got a guided meditation coming up that'll help us explore these circles even more.

That responsibility can feel overwhelming, but the good news is, you don't have to do everything all at once.In this episode, Gretchen Schaffer and I break down the three core "Why's" of building your author platform.

In this episode, we interview Dylan Thomas, senior director of product engineering at OpenText Cybersecurity, about the evolution from shift left to shift everywhere.At the end of 2024, he predicted: "In 2025, DevSecOps will continue evolving beyond the ‘shift-left' paradigm, embracing a more mature ‘shift everywhere' approach. This shift calls on organizations to apply the right tools at the right stages of the DevSecOps cycle, improving efficiency and effectiveness in security practices. Lightweight analysis in IDEs will help developers catch issues early, while automation integrated into pull requests and CI/CD pipelines will ensure a cohesive ‘integrate once' approach for core functions such as SAST, SCA, and increasingly DAST, particularly for API security testing."We interviewed him about his predictions, and talked about: What shift everywhere isWhy people are wanting to transition to this new approachHow to get started with shift everywhere

In this week's episode, McKay discusses the importance of an abundance mindset. He opens the podcast by discussing Britney Bowe's Olympic history and her decision to give up her spot in the 2022 Olympic trials to Erin Jackson. This selfless act hardly granted Bowe a medal, but it led Jackson to win gold in the women's 500 m speed skating event. Christensen argues that this is a prime example of abundance thinking and grace. Because humans tend to resent and envy the success of others, especially those in close proximity, Christensen urges the audience to replace envy and resentment with grace. He then goes on to detail another Olympic tale between Mikaela Shiffrin and Sophia Goggia. After Shiffrin practiced with Goggia's skis and got her fastest time, Goggia gave Shiffrin her skis before an event in the hopes that she might be as successful in the competition as she was in practice. The story exemplifies how abundance and grace can transform our attitudes and help others in a positive way. In contrast, McKay then tells the audience about the tense relationship between Thomas Edison and his once student, Nikola Tesla. When Edison dismissed and admonished Tesla for one of his suggestions, Tesla quit and decided to patent his own ideas. He eventually received the notoriety he deserved and was tasked with engineering Chicago's famous World Fair instead of Thomas Edison. McKay segues into the episode's conclusion where he discusses the inherent value of personal worth and security that comes from an abundant mindset. He closes out the podcast with a quick anecdote about Jesse Owens and Luz Long's friendship that blossomed from the 1936 Olympic Games. Long is rumored to have given Owens advice before his gold medal run, despite being Owens' opposition. While Owens came out on top, the pair developed a lifelong friendship in the face of a disapproving Nazi Germany. Long story short, McKay advises that if we truly believe that there is enough success and happiness to go round, prosperity will come.The Finer Details of This Episode:The story of Britney Bowe giving up her spot so that Erin Jackson could win GoldThe importance of rejoicing in others' victoriesWhat abundant thinking isWhy we resent others' successMen envy occupational success; women envy physical attractivenessWhy we envy close friends moreHow to replace envy with graceSophia Goggia gifting Mikaela Shiffrin her skis for an eventEdison's scarcity mentality and how he devalued Tesla's ideasThe inherent value of personal worth and securityThe friendship between Jesse Owens and Luz LongQuotes: “Every day, in most things we do, we have a choice. We can see things as scarce, like the chances to win a race at the Olympics and decide not to help or cheer others on, or we can see things as abundant—that there is more than enough for everyone.”“I believe one of the most powerful characteristics you can develop in life, one that will reward you for years to come, is to rejoice in the other person's victory.”“It's common that our reaction to other people's success isn't always positive. We tend to draw comparisons between what we have and what we perceive others are having—our thoughts get distorted and what they have grows in our minds and what we have shrinks at the same time.”“In one survey, more than 74% of respondents reported experiencing major envy recently in their lives. Surprisingly, researchers found that we most often envy others of our own gender.”“When you take envy out of your heart, it needs to be replaced with something, otherwise the void will be filled with envy again. So what do you fill it with? Grace.”“Most people

Back in January, I did a big poll to better understand the problems that you, my listeners, are currently dealing with. And one of the BIGGEST problems that came up was something I just really haven't talked a lot about yet - hormones.There were four categories of hormonal questions that came up around: periods, pregnancy & postpartum, perimenopause, and PCOS.I find that MOST conversations around these hormones make them sound SUPER complicated, but in reality, they can be explained, and supported, in SUPER simple ways.So I wanted to create my own series showing you exactly how I think of and support my hormones and my clients hormones at each of these stages.Today's topic is all about the period. I'll be answering:What a period isWhy periods become painful (PMS)Why periods disappear (amenorrhea)How to have painless periods and bring your period back - for goodToday is PART ONE in our Healthy Hormones Series focusing on Periods. Stay tuned for Part 2, 3, and 4: Pregnancy & Postpartum, Perimenopause, and PCOS.Almost every woman will go through all these stages of hormones at some point in their life, or we know someone right now going through them.

When a child is diagnosed with an oral restriction, such as a tongue tie, there is often a lot of pressure to get a frenectomy done as soon as possible.​Parents are told that if they don't do a frenectomy, their child will have issues down the road with breastfeeding, solids, sleep apnea, etc. ​​​But many parents aren't given the time or resources to explore other options of care.​So the question is: what can be done holistically to help address oral restrictions and breastfeeding problems - whether it's instead of doing a frenectomy, or in addition to doing one?​This episode explores the answer to that question as Jordan speaks with Midline Revolution - a group that combines chiropractic care, myofascial cranial therapy, and lactation consultation to help mothers and babies navigate issues like oral restrictions and breastfeeding in the first year of life.Together, they explore how to holistically treat tongue and lip ties.Tune in to learn:What an oral restriction isWhy a lot of medical advice is heavily focused on immediately doing a frenectomy and why might this not be the best first solutionHolistic approaches to dealing with oral restrictionsWhy many people aren't getting the outcomes they want from a frenectomyHow information overload is impacting motherhood and the decisions we makeWhat can be done to holistically support someone who has already gotten a frenectomyWant to dig deeper into this episode?

Chapter 1 What's Why the West Rules for Now Book by Ian Morris"Why the West Rules---For Now: The Patterns of History, and What They Reveal About the Future" is a book written by Ian Morris. It is a historical and social analysis that explores the rise and dominance of the Western civilization in the modern world. The book presents a unique approach to understanding why Western societies have been at the forefront of global power and influence over the past 500 years. Morris argues that geography, biology, and culture are the determining factors behind the West's ascendency.By examining various aspects such as geography, agriculture, warfare, energy consumption, and social development, Morris constructs a social development index called the Social Development Index (SDI). This index measures the progress of societies based on four key aspects: energy capture, organization, war-making capacity, and information technology. Throughout the book, Morris assesses the development and achievements of different civilizations, including those of the East, the Middle East, Eurasia, and the Americas. By comparing their trajectories and advancements in the four dimensions, Morris provides a comprehensive analysis of why the West has risen to global prominence.The book also delves into the potential future of global power and what it might entail in terms of balance between East and West. Morris contemplates whether East Asian civilizations, primarily China, could surpass the West in the future due to their rise in economic power and technological advancements."Why the West Rules---For Now" offers a broad understanding of historical patterns and their impact on the contemporary global landscape. Morris's work challenges conventional wisdom by presenting a data-driven analysis of societal development.Chapter 2 Is Why the West Rules for Now Book A Good BookOpinions on whether a book is good or not can vary greatly from person to person, as it depends on individual tastes and interests. However, "Why the West Rules for Now" by Ian Morris is generally well-regarded and highly recommended by many readers and critics. It is a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of world history, exploring the reasons behind the dominance of the Western world in recent centuries. If you are interested in history, civilization, and the factors that shape our modern world, this book is likely to be a worthwhile read.Chapter 3 Why the West Rules for Now Book by Ian Morris Summary"Why the West Rules for Now: The Patterns of History and What They Reveal About the Future" by Ian Morris is a book that explores the reasons behind the dominance of the Western world in global affairs, specifically focusing on economic and military power. The book argues that the West's current superiority can be attributed to geography, biogeography, and cultural development.Morris presents a framework called the Social Development Index (SDI), which captures the key factors that determine a society's development. He divides the world into East and West and uses the SDI to compare the two regions throughout history. According to Morris, the East had a head start in terms of civilization, as societies in China and the Middle East were more advanced in the early stages of human development.However, Morris argues that geography played a crucial role in shaping the trajectory of social development. The East faced geographical constraints, such as the presence of large deserts and landlocked regions, which limited their ability to expand and innovate. In contrast, the West had more fertile land, navigable rivers, and a wider coastline, allowing for easier trade, communication, and technological...

Buki is the founder and CEO of Diverse City Think Tank, a workplace bias and diversity-and-inclusion consultancy.In this podcast Buki discusses the impact of bias in the workplace and suggests a new approach to addressing it by equipping individuals with the skills to navigate bias, rather than labelling certain groups as victims or perpetrators.

In this greatest hits episode, we're revisiting one of our favorite episodes where Dan Sullivan shares how you can stop living in the gap between where you are and where you want to be – and start living in the happiness you cultivate by recognizing your daily gains of progress.Have you ever set goals that you thought would deliver you pure happiness once you achieved them – just to work hard, achieve them, and move on to the next without giving yourself a chance to feel fulfilled or celebrated? We all have and it's something we should work out of our productivity-laden routines.How might we create more sustainable happiness on our road to achievement? Dan Sullivan has been working with business owners for decades under the program, The Strategic Coach, and was one of the pioneers of the coaching industry. We have a conversation around what it means to shift your perspective so you get out of the gap of dissatisfaction and live in the gain – where happiness lives.We're always looking forward to the next goal, but we don't give ourselves the chance to celebrate the successes we've had. This is common among ambitious people. The problem with this is that it undermines our happiness in the long run.
