Podcasts about Jot

Ever wish you could be unbothered—the kind of person who doesn’t spiral when things go sideways? In today’s devotional, Laura Bailey shares a heartfelt story about her friend’s tough day, a voicemail full of frustration, and a powerful moment of conviction from the Holy Spirit. What started as venting turned into a moment of humility—and a reminder that being “unbothered” doesn’t mean we ignore hurt. It means we choose grace over pride. As Romans 12:3 tells us: “For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, by the faith God has distributed to each of you.” (NIV) Let this be your reminder:Being unbothered doesn’t mean you don’t care. It means you care more about the person than the problem. Join the Conversation:Have you ever caught yourself in a moment of venting—only to feel convicted later? What helps you respond with grace instead of reacting with frustration? Let us know @LifeaudioNetwork or by email. We’d love to hear your story.

¹ Visão de Isaías, filho de Amós, que ele teve a respeito de Judá e Jerusalém, nos dias de Uzias, Jotão, Acaz, e Ezequias, reis de Judá. ² Ouvi, ó céus, e dá ouvidos, tu, ó terra; porque o Senhor tem falado: Criei filhos, e engrandeci-os; mas eles se rebelaram contra mim.³ O boi conhece o seu possuidor, e o jumento a manjedoura do seu dono; mas Israel não tem conhecimento, o meu povo não entende.⁴ Ai, nação pecadora, povo carregado de iniquidade, descendência de malfeitores, filhos corruptores; deixaram ao Senhor, blasfemaram o Santo de Israel, voltaram para trás.⁵ Por que seríeis ainda castigados, se mais vos rebelaríeis? Toda a cabeça está enferma e todo o coração fraco.

Welcome to the start of our new podcast series, Series 56, centered around the thought-provoking theme of 'Enough!' As we look forward to the new series, I wanted to provide you with your first set of journal prompts, offering you a dedicated space for reflection, maybe even self-discovery. Consider this your invitation to carve out a little time just for you. Perhaps brew a comforting drink, open your favorite notebook to a fresh page, sharpen your pencil, and allow yourself 20 minutes of uninterrupted writing in response to the prompts below. Remember, there's no need for perfection – these are simply for your own personal exploration. Sometimes, the act of pondering can lead to unexpected insights, perhaps a solution to a nagging problem or a catalyst for positive change in your life. It might not surface immediately; an 'aha!' moment could just as easily arrive while you're doing the dishes, 36 hours from now! Please find below your first set of prompts on the theme of 'Enough!', dear friends. This is just the beginning: Prompt 1 Think of a time when you felt you had just about enough of something – be it a frustrating situation, a demanding task, or even a strong emotion. What did this experience feel like for you? Did you notice any specific emotional responses or physical sensations? Describe these if you can. Prompt 2 Take a moment or two to consider why this particular instance of feeling 'just about enough' has come to mind today. What makes this specific memory stand out to you at this moment? Prompt 3 Reflecting on this past experience, what unfolded next? Did you initiate a change? Did you reach out for support? Perhaps the action you took brought resolution, or maybe you made a conscious decision to approach things differently in the future. Do you recall how your initial feelings evolved over time? Prompt 4 Jot down a few thoughts on how this past experience might connect with the way you make choices in your life today. There is no need to share what you've written. However, if you feel moved to share your reflections, or if you're inspired to record a voice note for the upcoming podcast episodes (beginning on Monday), I would be delighted to hear from you. Reply to this email to leave a comment, or head over to SpeakPipe to leave 90 seconds of your beautiful voice for Walk the Pod: https://www.speakpipe.com/Walk_the_Pod Wishing you a lovely Friday, dear friends. I can't wait to get started with this new series of episodes with you from Monday.

Let's talk about something a lot of us ponder over—teleprompters. Do we love them, hate them, or just not want to mess with them at all? Well, as someone who's spent years in front of the camera, here's my take. Teleprompters can be both a friend and a foe. They're fantastic when you're super keen on hitting all your key points, like when you're talking about a new product or service. But, and it's a big but, they can make you sound robotic. And that's a no-go if your aim is to connect deeply with your audience. Trust me, people want the vibrant, human you—not a monotone reader. My advice? Ditch the prompter when you can. Jot down a few key bullet points and speak from the heart. Your authenticity will shine through, and that's what engages people. But if you find yourself needing that safety net of a teleprompter, practice until your reading voice sounds as lively as your speaking one. In this 5 minute episode you'll learn: Tips on how to effectively use a teleprompter The importance of using bullet points to guide your video presentations The situations where using a teleprompter might be beneficial Recommendations for teleprompter apps Keep pushing your on-camera skills. It's worth it.

Curiosity is one of the biggest traits of great personalities. If you want to become a magnetic personality who attracts client to you rather than chasing them, you need to discover how to be more curious. PEOPLE LOVE CURIOSITY One of my best on-air talent had a powerful sense of curiosity. He loved to learn about people and things. He also had a unique view of every situation. His name is Mike, but everyone calls him Big Party. When you think of a guy named Big party, you probably envision a very large, rotund man. This wasn't the case. Party is an average looking guy. He just makes everyone feel special when they are around him. His curiosity leads him to ask great question of everyone he meets. When he conducts an interview, he doesn't have a list of questions. He just asks about the things that pique his curiosity. One day after I left the radio station, the bosses thought it would be better if Big Party talked less and played more music during his show. The ratings dipped. But more importantly, Party hated what he was doing. During his vacation, he decided he was going to quit when he returned. The day came for Party to go back to work, and he changed his mind. But rather than following orders and playing more music, he decided he was going to do his show his way. If they didn't like it, they could fire him. He began leading with his curiosity again. The content became stronger. Listeners started to return. Soon the ratings were back up. And management quit tinkering. Because Party is interested, he becomes interesting. People want to know what he thinks about things and events, because he has an interesting take. Curiosity is powerful. CONTENT FROM CURIOSITY Curiosity will also help you overcome writers block. When you're curious about what's going on in your surroundings, you never get stuck without things to talk about. Be curious about the things that happen around you. Take notes. Jot down the things that catch your attention. Connect those interesting things to powerful stories. Learn to ask questions about everything. Don't be so tied to the script or list of questions. Listen intently, and pivot when necessary. CURIOSITY MAKES YOU SMARTER When you're curious, you'll naturally become more intelligent. You will be amazed at the things you learn when you look for more information. Talk less and listen more. When things happen during your day, ask yourself why. Remember when you were little and you asked why about everything? Why is the sky blue? Why do dogs bury their bones? And why do we sneeze? Be curious about things that happen in your life. Take note of the stories associated with those questions. Curiosity is where most podcasters struggle. It's also why they fail to become influential. Your content won't keep people coming back every episode. Artificial intelligence can copy your content in a heartbeat. They will only come back if they are attracted to you. Curiosity is how you develop your personality. How you become a influential authority. Your curiosity and courage will begin to attract clients to you rather than chasing them everyday. ALSO BE COURAGEOUS Once you start developing your curiosity, have the courage to share those curiosities on your show. Express your real thoughts and feelings. Try new things. When you are curious and courageous, you become more interesting. You become more likable. This week, start taking notes of the interesting things that happen in your day. Then, use some of the most interesting in your episodes. If you don't have a mentor who can take your hand and walk you every step of the way, go to www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/apply, click the button and apply to have a coaching call with me. We will develop your plan and see how I can help and support you to achieve your podcast goals.

Hey, hey! Welcome back to the podcast! It's just me today, and we're diving into marketing—again! If you caught the last episode, you know we're doing a little marketing series.  if we haven't met yet, I'm Michelle Lynne, owner of ML Interiors Group—an award-winning, seven-figure interior design firm in Dallas, Texas. I've got one foot in design and two feet in coaching interior designers on how to scale to multiple six figures with profit and passion. You're in the right place if you're a designer who's hit five figures and is ready to level up!   Let's talk about what's working in today's market—because, let's be real, things are different. My design firm slowed down last year, and what worked back in 2019-2022? Yeah, not quite the same now. But here's the thing—sometimes, you've just got to come back to the basics. That's what we're doing today—getting clear on your unique brand and ideal client so your marketing actually works.   Step 1: Define Your Unique Brand When you try to speak to everyone, you end up speaking to no one. Your brand is more than just your logo and colors—it's how you communicate, the voice you use, and how you show up in your business. I learned this the hard way.  So, let's do a little exercise: - What do you want for your business? - What types of projects excite you? - What kind of revenue and lifestyle do you want? - How would you describe your brand's personality? Jot it all down. No wrong answers. The more clear you get, the more your brand will resonate with the right people.    Step 2: Discover Your Ideal Client Your ideal client needs to evolve with you. If you're still marketing to the same people you were three years ago, it's time for a refresh. When we revisited our ideal client profile, we noticed patterns—our best clients had second homes, their kids were old enough to dress themselves but not old enough to drive, and the moms were stay-at-home moms who *wanted* a beautiful home but didn't know how to make it happen. Once we defined that, our marketing became way more effective. If you're newer in business and don't have past clients to analyze, that's okay! Create an avatar.   Think about: - What problems do they have that would lead them to hire you? - What are their interests and hobbies? - What's their family dynamic? - Where do they shop? What brands do they love? - What kind of careers do they have? The clearer you get, the easier it will be to create content that speaks directly to them. And here's the magic—when you market to *one* specific type of client, you actually attract more of them!    What's Next? If you're feeling a little slow in business, this is the perfect time to revisit your branding and ideal client. And if you want to go deeper, come join me for the free Marketing Masterclass on February 3rd! We'll cover this in even more detail, plus a whole lot more.

Send us a textPlease forgive the tease behind this episode's title. While we did pounce on up-to-the-minute headlines (Roger's advice), it seemed out of character for us to do so. In post-production reflection, Dr Dave could not help but wonder what was driving our comedian's pursuit. We invite our loyal and embarrassingly small audience to be armchair psychologists and consider whether we have just witnessed evidence of David's fantasy to BE a headliner in Vegas. If you're ever at the Huntington DQ, ask "Jot" -- he seems to know a lot.

INSPIRATION- Let's explore the difference between inspiration and motivation, discuss how to tap into that magical spark of inspiration, and share practical strategies to stay inspired in everyday life. Take the listener challenge to help you ignite your inner spark this week! ***VIParts of this episode to refer to: Key Takeaways 1. Inspiration Fuels Ideas; Motivation Drives Action Inspiration is an internal spark of creativity and possibility, while motivation is the external force that propels you to take action. Both are essential, but understanding their roles can help you harness them effectively. 2. Fresh Experiences Are Key to Unlocking Inspiration Engaging with new environments, ideas, or creative works stimulates the brain to form new connections, making it easier to discover inspiration. 3. Space and Reflection Allow Inspiration to Flourish Sometimes the best ideas come when you step back, meditate, or allow your mind to wander. Intentionally setting aside downtime can lead to breakthroughs. Listener Challenge This week, spend 20 minutes exploring something new—a new book, neighborhood, genre of music, or topic. Jot down how it made you feel and whether it sparked any ideas or shifts in perspective. 2 Timothy 1:7 “For God will never give you the spirit of fear, but the Holy Spirit who gives you mighty power, love, and self-control.” Isaiah 40:31 “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Psalm 19:1: "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands."

「心臓移植 余命短い患者を優先する新方針固める　厚労省」　厚生労働省は心臓移植について、余命の短い患者が優先的に移植を受けられるようにする方針を固めました。臓器移植では、日本臓器移植ネットワーク（JOT）が、厚労省の基準に基づき、臓器を提供される患者の優先順位を決めています。従来の心臓移植では、待機期間が長い患者が優先される傾向がありましたが、23日、厚労省の審議会は、余命が短く緊急性が高い患者が優先的に移植を受けられるようにする方針を固めました。また、日本臓器移植ネットワークの業務負担軽減のため、ドナーへの対応業務を新たな組織に担ってもらう方向で検討を進めることがわかりました。

I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 1:01  Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the implementable convo I had with Jan Schroeder in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to this one, you should go back and listen. It's a perimenopause one, guys, we finally got someone who really is like a wealth of knowledge in this area and on a specific niche of it. And I'm so, so excited for it to hear, for you to hear all of it. So anyways, you're gonna want to listen to this and listen to that. Today is September 12th 2024 and it's Are You Okay Day. So the history of Are You Okay Day, in 1995 Barry Larkin's death by suicide left his family and friends in deep grief and with unanswered questions. In 2009, his son, Gavin Larkin, chose to do something about his father's death. He came up with just one question to honor his father and prevent more suicides: "Are you okay?" Gavin and a few of his friends decided to turn it into a national campaign from this realization and with their expertise and passion, R U OK? was born. So Gavin actually passed away in 2011 but truly held onto the belief that a conversation could change a life. His legacy is now a national conversation movement. R U OK? is a harm and suicide prevention charity that encourages people to have conversations that help others and themselves navigate the difficult times in their lives. You can learn more about R U OK? on the thing, it's really wonderful what they're doing. There's also some really other amazing charities. Our friend, Mai, is actually part of the Nevada suicide prevention.Brad Crowell 2:23  Yeah, it's ruok.org and I think it's ..org.au Lesley Logan 2:28  Awesome. Brad Crowell 2:29  And that's A, not A-R-E, it's the letters R and then the letter U, ruok.org.auSpeaker 1 2:37  There's also, in the States, there's the AFSP and this one, you can learn more about suicide. You can learn how to help prevent it. And usually, different states have their own local organizations of those. So, really important and if you are needing a phone number, 1-800-273-TALK (8255) is the phone number you can call for prevention, lifeline for suicide. And there's also a lot more information on calling it death by suicide or died by suicide, because there's a lot more research around why this is happening, how this is going on. And it's not as selfish as we have come to think. So it's really, really important that you check that out. All right, some upcoming events and travel. Like we said last week, we're kind of sitting around and that and in Las Vegas and enjoying the best time of the weather that is here. But we're also thinking big time about 2025 because it's gonna be here before we know it. And a lot of the things we work on are years in the making. So eLevate, which is our mentorship program, that is something we actually accept applications for early, because it's a big program, and we wanna make sureBrad Crowell 3:39  It's a commitment, it's a, you know, the transformation that you are going to get is massive. Speaker 1 3:45  And it also is something that will continue to change and evolve in your life over time. So it's not like you just do it for nine months and it's over. There's like, more that you get out of it. It's like a fine wine, it just, or a tequila, right? So if you are a teacher interested in our mentorship program, go to lesleylogan.co/elevate and you can learn more about it. You can hear what our past grads had to say.

That's profit without the O dot biz slash accelerator to sign up for free. Lesley Logan 6:09  All right, before we get into the amazing conversation, I had with Jan about our fitness and perimenopause, we've got an audience question to answer, yes? Brad Crowell 6:16  Yeah, we sure do. "Is the AeroPilates reformer sufficient for reformer training in a small space or a piece of junk, and I should just try to find a legit reformer somewhere else to practice with?" asks @etain.pilates on the YouTube.Speaker 1 6:31  Yeah. So we actually even went deep into discussion, because I had several questions about affordable reformers for home practice and things like that. So there is an actual long form answer to this question, and I'm going to give you a snippet of it, and hopefully, if you need more information, you go watch that. Actually I have two videos. We have one on how to choose reformer for at home, and then we have me answering this question, like, how do I find affordable reformer at home? So I'm not going to call anything junk, especially when I don't know why it was created. Something that's really important to note is that Pilates equipment is typically created for the style of Pilates that's designed to go on it. Just like a treadmill or a bike or, you know, any kind of fitness thing, it is created for the style of work that you're going to do on it. So for me, if you are trying to do Pilates that's more classical or even typical contemporary I'm not talking like athletic reformer, because I don't know more about that. Then I don't know that the AeroPilates is going to be sufficient enough for home practice, because it's going to limit you, and it's going to change things in a way that you can't modify. So the foot bar, for example, it's not going to be the angle you're used to when you teach or you go to a studio, the straps, the handles, the bungee cord versus spring. So I'm not going to say it's junk. I'm going to say that if you are trying to deepen your reformer practice, it's going to be like you don't see sprinters for the Olympics training on ice skates. They don't. Right? It's just, there's nothing wrong with ice skates.Brad Crowell 7:57  I think a better comparison there would be, they're not training in a walking shoe, they're training in a running shoe. Lesley Logan 8:05  Correct. You're correct. Okay, that's a better example.Brad Crowell 8:07  They are certainly not training on ice skates. Obviously, you're you're not going to try to do Pilates on a trampoline.Speaker 1 8:11  Fair, fair, fair, a better analogy. Kind of come up things on the spot, some, they can't all be brilliant, but you're correct. Like, the sprinters are not in, they're not even in regular running shoes but they're in track shoes with like.Brad Crowell 8:11  That's actually the best analogy. They're not training in running shoes, they're training in sprinting shoes.Speaker 1 8:27  We got that, we got we got there, we got there. So what I would say is I would find a studio that you can rent space at and abuse theirs, or I would find a used reformer that truly is more like what you're used to and accustomed to and make it a piece of furniture in your home. People are not expecting homes to look like hotels. They expect homes to look like things you live in, so get the one you like. That's my answer. If you want to get a discount on a Balanced Body or Contrology piece, you can check out opc.me/perks, we do have discount links on all of that stuff. Brad Crowell 8:58  Yeah. And if you're trying to find our YouTube channel, just go to opc.me/yt. All right. Well, thanks for asking that question. If you have questions that you'd like to ask, feel free to text us at 310-905-5534, or hit us up on Instagram. Just that. Mention us and fire away. Stick around. We'll be right back. Brad Crowell 9:17  All right. Now, let's talk about Jan Schroeder. Dr. Jan Schroeder is a professor at Long Beach State University and coordinator of their unique Bachelor of Science in fitness. So you can literally go to college for fitness. And that's. Lesley Logan 9:33  It's like, one of the only places you can do that. Brad Crowell 9:35  I think she said it is the only place. Lesley Logan 9:37  Yes, yes. Oh, shout out to Michelle Sims (inaudible), she connected me with Jan because she said is there anything you need? I'm like, yeah, I need two people. I need people on perimenopause, who do you know?Brad Crowell 9:46  Yeah, so Jan, Dr. Schroeder has a PhD in exercise physiology and she's passionate about educating women on the importance of personalized fitness strategies, overall well-being and self-care during and after menopause. She encourages women to prioritize their health, understand the changes in their bodies, and adapt exercise and lifestyle habits tailored to their physiological, social and psychological needs.Lesley Logan 10:12  Just, okay, was, I found it really enlightening. I felt like there was so much permission. I found like she had so much information. There's a lot of people who are out there now talk about perimenopause, and I'm loving how much advice and information out there. I thought I was like, oh my god, I'm going through it early. I got some help from Femgevity, and I'm not, but I actually do have some support, some bio identicals to just enjoy my life and keep a baseline. But she talked about, like, how we don't really need to, like, go, oh my god, I'm going through this. I can't go, there's so much support out there. But a lot of times the things that we are doing as we go through perimenopause and into menopause are actually giving us reverse results we want. So she specifically took a little lens of fitness. And when you are in perimenopause and post-winter and like, winter menopausal because your hormones change, she advocates that you have to have a holistic approach to combining exercise, nutrition and hormonal management to navigate menopause effectively. And she really gave us some tools on like just adjusting our behavior. So it's not like this negative thing, but actually it supports these changes, because these changes don't have to be a bad thing. There's positives to it as well.Brad Crowell 11:21  Yeah, that was one of the biggest things she was talking about. Is that we only ever seen to hear or talk or think about the negatives, and we very rarely think about the positives of it. Lesley Logan 11:35  I also just want to say, like, I love that what she talked about, like a 40-minute workouts or less, working out in the morning, doing different things that can actually support so that the workouts you're doing are supporting your health, your longevity, your cardiovascular system, your bones, if weight loss is something you're wanting to do, those are all really important things. And the world is set up with these hour-long classes, high-intensity classes, and we've got women over 40 doing these crazy metabolic workouts when really they need some strength. They need some move meditation. And so I was like, patting myself on the back. I'm like, OPC is 30-minute classes, just saying, and you can do when you want.Brad Crowell 12:15  Well, I thought something that was really interesting was she talked about this natural inclination that we have to we, meaning women who are going through menopause, that they have, as they hit menopause, they just stop moving. Lesley Logan 12:30  It's a real it was really interesting. The part of the brain that just goes, okay, I'm not gonna tell you to get up.Brad Crowell 12:35  Yeah, she said the stats are 40% less movement typically as a woman is hitting menopause, and I don't know if that's just built into how we are, or if it's like, oh, this societally adopted thing of like, oh, I hit this phase in my life and I'm gonna just stop now.Lesley Logan 12:52  It did. And she said it doesn't even sound like it was a conscious thing. It's likeBrad Crowell 12:55  (Inaudible) she said women tend to sit more. They're just sitting more. And she said, it's really important to start paying attention to those things using a fitness tracker or a journal, so that you can start to track yourself and be like, oh, wow. I used to get 10,000 steps, and now I'm getting 6000 steps. How did I end up doing that? Right? So we use an aura ring. Can't give you a link to it, really, it's not that easy to do that, but the Oura ring, it connects to your health app on your phone, and it tracks a whole lot of different things. But she said, be mindful. Jot those things down. She said it is actually reduced activity level is dictated by estrogen. So yeah, you're right. It doesn't seem like it's a conscious thing. She explained, the estrogen affects different tissues in the brain, especially the hypothalamus, which is responsible for how much food you eat, how hungry you feel, how much energy you are feeling like you can expend, want to expend. She said, when we take estrogen away through menopause, what the brain does is the hypothalamus cannot regulate these things anymore the way you used to. So it's important for you to consciously regulate them yourself. Be aware of that stuff. So yeah, I mean, I found that really intriguing. Stick around. We'll be right back. Brad Crowell 14:08  All right, welcome back. So finally, let's talk about those Be It Action Items. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Dr. Jan Schroeder? She advised against long duration cardio workouts during menopause. And y'all, we talked about this about a million times that the 80s were all about running and cardio, and that was how you're gonna lose weight and it has been busted and disproven. That is not reality a million times over. But what I found really interesting was she started to talk about cortisol, and when we hear cortisol, we immediately think negative things. We're like, oh, cortisol bad. And she said, No, actually, cortisol is also good, but we have to regulate how much of it that we have in our system. And as we age, more cortisol is just natural in our bodies. And then through menopause, it can kick it up a notch even more. And she started talking about things like, when are you doing your workout and how are you doing your workout, right? So when she started talking about working out earlier in the day, and then how you're doing your workout, cardio is gonna just add a lot of cortisol. And she said the problem with cortisol is it affects your sleep. You need it in the morning. It gets your brain going. It gets you going. But then in the end of the day, if you're jamming a lot of that, you know, if you're kicking off a lot of cortisol, you're going to have a difficult time sleeping. You're not going to process during sleep, because you're not going to be getting that sleep. And so basically, it becomes a problem if you're adding a lot to it at the end of your day. So she did recommend, this is where she was talking about 40 minutes or less and working out in the morning. And she recommends short bursts of high intensity of interval training to manage cortisol levels that's instead of long, long distance running kind of thing. So what about you? Lesley Logan 15:53  She said, You need to give yourself permission to back down. Oh, my god, are we sensing a theme of this podcast? So you need to give yourself permission to back down. She said, if you're a runner, that's gonna be too intense for you. So walk and put a weighted vest on. And I added a weighted vest to all of my walks. I'm gonna tell you guys, holy freaking molly, even if the walk is short, I'm no longer like, oh, my own we didn't do long enough walk today because it was too hot. Just adding that weighted vest intensified the walk. Brad Crowell 16:19  What did you get, 12 pounds? Lesley Logan 16:20  Not 12 pounds. Yeah.Brad Crowell 16:22  It's in the middle of the road one, right? Lesley Logan 16:23  Yeah, yeah. And I think now, hey, my in-laws, I would like a weighted vest where I can add weights or take them off. That's what I want for Christmas. Okay, but, like, maybe I have to look it up, because I'd like it to be a little sexier than what I've got. This is like the ugliest thing, but it's okay. It's fine. The looks don't matter. But it's those kinds of things, like, give yourself permission, that's going to be okay. We don't have to be at our highest level all the the time to be at our best self. And I thought that was really cool. You don't have to be your highest level all the time to be your best self. Brad Crowell 16:48  I think that is something that's been interesting for me, is being like, hey, today I generally don't feel like I can take on the world when I go to all my workout, right? And then being like, all right, it's all right, if I only do 80% of what I did last week on as far as weightlifting goes, or whatever. Lesley Logan 17:06  Yeah, and by the way, guys, it's called listening to your body. And also, like, if you keep going, wow, I keep feeling like I can't do it, then that's a sign you do that. Like other things are going on. You need to do some other things if you still have your cycle, ladies, I do use an app I have no affiliation to, called wild.ai that actually helps me figure out what kind of workouts I should be doing based on where I am in my cycle, which is really, really cool, because then what I do is I do more high intensity on the first two weeks-ish, and I do a little longer duration, lower intensity on the last two weeks. It has really helped me manage the cortisol as well. So I'm not doing cortisol when I have progesterone coming in, because that is a bad thing, and that's going to affect my sleep. It's going to affect my cycle. So.Brad Crowell 17:46  If all this is foreign language to you, we definitely encourage you to connect with Femgevity who has been helping Lesley really wrap her head around all this stuff and understand it for her body. Lesley Logan 17:56  You can go to beitpod.com/femgevity. Brad Crowell 17:59  Yeah. F-E-M Femgevity. Lesley Logan 18:01  Jan, you're brilliant. You gave us such an amazing look on fitness and perimenopause, and really great tips to just stay strong and stay with energy. And I'll also understand what's going on with our body and not see it as such a negative thing. Thank you so much, y'all. How are we going to use these tips in your life? We want to know, so make sure you can't tag Jan, because she's like, non-social, which I think, how cool is that?Brad Crowell 18:24  So cool. She's a professor. That's amazing. She also still teaches.Lesley Logan 18:27  She still teaches fitness, yeah, but tag the Be It Pod and then do me a favor, share this with a woman in your life. The thing that is so fascinating to me is that, how many women older than me did not have this information? And no, it wasn't out there. There wasn't a lot of research and we're doing more research now. But also, if we talk about this stuff, then it forces people, companies, other people, to find information for us. We get to demand what they talk about, by the way. So please share this with a friend so that we can change more women's lives and make going through perimenopause and endomenopause, and our years after that really thriving. It doesn't mean like it's bad. There's like, good stuff out there. So until next time, Be It Till You See It. Brad Crowell 18:32  Bye for now. Lesley Logan 18:43  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

Our series on “the right kind of hard” has made clear the need to actively take breaks. When I'm in the middle of processing something—whether I'm cooking up a new idea or trying to keep an idea alive or trying to push something over the finish line—I want to honor the process and let things rest when needed. Taking a pause actually can be the most effective way to move forward.  So I'm taking a moment to pause and reflect and use a more consistent and deliberate way of checking in with myself. Perhaps you need a pause, too. If so, here are a few questions to consider. Think about them. Jot them down. Maybe even turn them into a journal exercise. 1 - How much time have I spent on (or avoiding) this thing?  2 - Have I defined what progress looks and feels like?   3 - Do I have or need an accountability buddy?   4 - How am I feeling before, during, and after?  5 - What do I really, really want?   Balancing creativity and ambition with periods of pause can help us maintain focus and momentum without becoming overwhelmed. So, if you want to reignite your creative spark or simply find a healthier pace in life, join me as we explore the transformative power of taking a break, a concept far more beneficial than mere rest.  Thanks for listening!

In today's episode of the podcast, I chat with Dan Milnor, an acclaimed documentary photographer who shares transformative insights on creativity, industry challenges, and the true impact of social media on your work.The Big Ideas:Seek Inspiration, Not Imitation: Embrace the storytelling and influence behind another artist's work rather than copying style or gear.The Value of Authentic Engagement: Understand social media's shallow interactions and focus on building a genuine audience.Embracing a Multifaceted Identity: Delve into various creative outlets to enrich your photography and personal brand.Isolation for Innovation: Discover how stepping away from the crowd can enhance your unique voice and creativity.Photography Action Plan:Explore Outside Influences: Visit the websites of conceptual artists or photographers you admire at least a few times per year. Jot down what elements of their work inspire you the most. Incorporate what resonates with you into your photography, be it their storytelling approach or their thematic focus, to craft a richer narrative in your images.Prioritize Care with Equipment: Familiarize yourself with the functionalities of your current equipment, such as the exposure compensation dial, to enhance your shooting efficiency without the need to upgrade immediately. Engage in Long-Term Projects: Select a subject matter that sparks your curiosity and devote time to a long-term photographic project. This commitment often leads to deeper insights and more substantive work. Resist the industrial pressure to multitask on numerous short-term endeavors and instead focus on developing a solid body of work that reflects your dedication and skill. Rethink Social Media Engagement: Create a portfolio website showcasing your unique photographic work to establish a professional online presence that's independent of social media validation. Begin reducing your reliance on social media platforms by actively seeking genuine engagement with your audience through direct channels like newsletters or local exhibitions.Embrace a Multifaceted Approach to Photography: Invest time in developing additional skills that complement your photography, such as writing or video, which can enhance your storytelling capabilities and marketability. Explore your other interests and hobbies alongside photography. These pursuits can provide fresh perspectives and inspirations, enriching the creative content of your photographic work.Resources:Visit Dan's Website Shifter Media: https://shifter.mediaDan Milnor's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@DANIELMILNOR505Learn What Camera Settings to Use in our free guide!https://perfectcamerasettings.com/ Build Your Dream Photography Business and Keep More of the Money You Earn with CloudSpot Studio.And get my Wedding and Portrait Contract and Questionnaires, at no cost!Sign up now at http://deliverphotos.com/Connect with the Beginner Photography Podcast!

Many individuals are firmly entrenched in the Scarcity Mentality. They perceive life as a limited resource, akin to a single pie to be divided among all. Consequently, if one person claims a large slice of the pie, it's believed to leave less for everyone else.

Instant FREE Access Now: YES, Enroll Me NOW In Premier Coaching https://premiercoaching.com This mindset operates on a zero-sum paradigm, where one's success is viewed as directly detracting from the opportunities available to others. Individuals with a Scarcity Mentality struggle to share recognition, credit, power, or profit, even with those who contribute to their achievements. Moreover, they find it challenging to celebrate the success of others genuinely. HUGE Announcement: You will love this! Looking for the full outline from today's presentation? Our DAILY Newsletter featured lead generation systems, real estate scripts, daily success plans and (YES) the notes or today's show. Best part? The newsletter is free! https://harrisrealestatedaily.com/ If you have a scarcity mindset, you believe that money, friends, success, and promotion are scarce. You believe there simply aren't enough of these things for everyone to have a chance. This mindset affects your thoughts, actions, and outlook, as well as your perception of and by everyone else. The scarcity mindset keeps you from saving. You find it challenging to save time and money because both are scarce. If you have either, you spend it immediately before something happens to it! REAL ESTATE LEADS, LEADS and more LEADS: Question: What is Tim and Julie Harris's favorite PROBATE LEAD PROVIDER? Simple, alltheleads.com/harris Let's test quickly to see if you have some scarcity mentality tendencies… There are 11 ways (there are more, but these are the most obvious) to know if you're scarcity-minded in your real estate practice. Ready to become an EXPIRED Listing Agent? As promised, here is the discount link for the EXPIRED LISTING LEADS: https://www.redx.com/affiliate/tim-and-julie-harris/ Note: If you can answer ‘yes' to even half of these, you have a mindset challenge that must be corrected before you can reach your next level! We'll do this quickly because no one wants to dwell here! Jot down any thoughts you want to get rid of. After the test, we'll get to the good stuff: The Mindset of Abundance! 11 Things to Consider: The Scarcity Mindset… 1 You have no savings. Ever. If you do, it's maybe for a couple of weeks, sometimes as scarce as a couple of hours. 2 You believe there's only so much money to go around and often get into conflict over commissions…both with clients and other agents. You're a fan of the ‘procuring cause' argument. 3 You don't use a buyer's agency agreement because you're afraid of losing the commission to an agent who doesn't use agency agreements.  Fortunately, this particular issue is no longer up to you as of July this year! 4 You lose listings over ‘sticking to your guns' on commission. You'd rather be ‘right' or ‘righteous' than give a little to make a deal happen. 5 You are immune to goal setting and feel you're above it. Goal setting ‘isn't for you'.

Hello to you listening in Yamaguchi City, Japan!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Thoughts on Thursday and your host, Diane Wyzga.I've produced over 1,000 daily podcast episodes on the global airwaves. Each episode is typically between 60 and 180 seconds. In mere minutes I share a story, a message, and a call to action.Why does brevity matter? Attention spans are dangerously short. More importantly communicating information in a clear, concise and cogent manner gets you seen, heard, understood and listened to. At the same time you develop your communication confidence.3 Tips to Improve Your Communication Confidence:1. Do you stumble over your words in a meeting or presentation? Before you speak think about the key points you want to make. Jot down a roadmap with bullet points. Once you start speaking you'll be anchored and directed. Make your points and end with a strong conclusion.2. Do you over-explain because you're unsure whether your audience is with you? If you feel you're not getting your point across take the pulse of the room every now and again by asking a short question: Are you with me? What are you hearing? Does this make sense? Gauge the reaction before you continue speaking. You may need to backtrack or take a question.3. Do you feel like you use too many filler words? The meaningless ums, uhs, likes, and ya knows that suck the oxygen out of the room. Filler words can detract from our assertiveness. But at times we can use the word ‘like' to create connection with our audience. People communicate in metaphors: this is like that is. Know your words. Choose your words. When in doubt, take a breath.  Bonus tip: Every day for 3 minutes practice speaking out loud. Record and listen to yourself. Pay attention to what sounds good and what could sound better. Once you raise awareness about what you do well and what to do better you will do it.CTA: I'm ready to help you grow into a confident communicator who can clarify ideas and amplify messages.  No obligation Discovery Chat is available. Email me at info@quartermoonstoryarts.net OR click the LINK in the Episode Notes.

321 Your Innate Worth   Throughout life we are told from an early age what to do, what jobs would be best for us, and what society expects of us. Quite often this leaves us in a job that doesn't bring us fulfillment, so we end up looking for that fulfillment and sense of worth by exploring other career paths as well as life paths, and exploring what makes us feel our innate worth.  In this episode Sarah Elkins and Corree Roofener discuss how labels impact us and our skill sets from an early age, and how through hard work and dedication to one's self you often find yourself in a fulfilling position in life.     Highlights Are you labeling someone despite seeing them through only one lens? What labels were you given that you still think about? Do you define yourself or do others? What is your natural skill that you do exceptionally well and what can you do to nurture that skill? Asking for help is one of the first steps in growth. Bringing in others with different skills who can help you, can make you thrive.  Build a diverse board of personal directors.   Quotes “You learn about people as you are exposed, like you said having connection. Whether that be in a live event or just having a written connection like you said on LinkedIn. Someone responds to something you say and there's this immediate conversation happening, or almost immediate conversation happening, and that feels so different.” “I think, I don't think I actually know, I feel that when we begin to kind of unravel or open up those petals of that flower, we come back to what we innately know about ourselves, and we know it we just put it aside, because it's, One: Not comfortable. Two: Not Successful. Three: Not a career. It can be a hundred different things, but what we do is we walk away from what we innately do so well or we cover it up. When we can start to own that, take value in that, we begin to find that “This is what I'm supposed to be doing.” but in that, what do we have to do? We have to ask for help. Which is so hard.” “And just connecting with that fact that, those side hustles, we're gonna go right back to the beginning, typically are going back to who we are innately. We crave that as humans, we crave what we were created to do innately and we tend to change what that looks like because “Success says you should do X, Y, and Z.” Or, “Mom said I should do this.” Or, “Dad said I was good at this.” and so we stop and we don't go back to that thing. One of the things for me that I had to really own, I've always been good with numbers but keeping synced “Oh I'm living that!” But what I had to realize is that my worth, my value as a mother was the message that had to be shared.” “It's just so scary because again you're speaking this dream out loud to the universe, to your peers, whoever it is, and you have no idea what it's going to look like. And we so adamantly connect the word failure if it looks different than how we originally envisioned.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, What is that side hustle you've been considering? What could you go back to from your younger days when you had an idea of what you were really good at. That you don't necessarily need to make income at it, but you would like to explore again. Jot it down in the comments, share it with me privately, I am your audience for that. And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Corree Corree Roofener; teaching resilience, compassion, and the strength of the human spirit through actions and support.

In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

Have you ever wished you could just ask an expert, “How the heck do I do this…in simple terms?”   That's exactly what I thought as I was planning out 2024 content for The Found Podcast: Why not give entrepreneurs and small business owners an opportunity to ask real questions in real time and get real answers that matter to them?   In this new episode format called “Coaching Calls,” a small business owner/entrepreneurs is given an opportunity to submit a question they would like me to answer about marketing, business growth, personal development, or anything that's on their mind!   Today's submission is from an Iowa friend who asked, “How do you organize and execute your content creation to support your audience and marketing?”   This is a layered question, but it's one I think we all should consider this year more than ever in our business marketing.  Strategy is the name of the game in small business marketing in 2024   We are not throwing spaghetti at the wall, friends.   We are running a business.   And running a business is most enjoyable, profitable, and impactful when we have a clear plan of serving our clients and customers.   This translates to our marketing too! We want to make sure that all forms of our business' marketing, whether print materials, social media, on our website, or in face-to-face conversation, is cohesive, clear, and compelling for our ideal clients/customers.    As business owners, we don't have time to waste spending hours creating marketing materials and digital content that feels disjointed and confusing, we want to be able to follow a strategic plan that guides our audience so they know about us, understand how we help them, experience a bit of what it's like to work with us, and ultimately choose to become our clients and customers.   How do we do this?   Start by answering the following: what are your goals? who is your ideal client/customer? how do they spend their time? what do they love? what do they not love? how do you talk to your ideal client/customer?   Then move into mapping out what to talk about and what you want to sell on a paper calendar. Jot down important dates and events for the month, assign a theme to the month, and identify various tips, products, or services that tie into that theme so your ideal clients how you help them solve their problems.   In today's episode, I provide a variety of examples for planning a social media marketing calendar for both product and service-based businesses so you can have strategy guiding your content creation.  A little more about our guest today… Maryann Baldwin is the founder and owner of The Works in Lansing, Iowa.

Have you ever written your wife a love letter? Every man should be able to write a love letter to his wife. In this week's interview and in preparation for Valentine's Day, Jim Ramos' friend Kevin Brewer joined him to teach you how to write a letter or note that your wife will treasure forever, even if you're not a writer.    Step 1: Make a list. Jot down and start making a list : 1. Start with showing you're thinking of her. Can be basic stuff and could include physical attraction. 2. 1 or 2 things your wife does that you're proud of. 3. How has God used her in your life (bonus if you include Scripture) 4. Her character traits or qualities as a women  5. Past memories, current situation and what you see in future.   Step 2: Take a break. Take a break - be fresh. Walk away to process.   Step 3: Write your letter. Come back - Sit down and start putting together the letter. Try using a nice piece of paper.   Tips: “Write a love letter without using the word love.” Find other words the explain your feelings - "love" can be overused. Put anything down. It doesn't have to be deep, just something to trigger emotion and feeling. It doesn't have to be long. The main thing is to show you're thinking of her. Even if you're not a writer - that's to your advantage because it shows your sacrifice.   [Honor God through your fitness.

"There are certain rules of the road useful in dealing with any form of criticism. 1. Receive the criticism all the way through and get it over with. 2. Jot down notes to yourself on what concepts or phrases bother you. 3. Jot down notes on what concepts or phrases seem useful. 4. Do something very nurturing for yourself—read an old good review or recall a compliment. 5. Remember that even if you have made a truly rotten piece of art, it may be a necessary stepping-stone to your next work. Art matures spasmodically and requires ugly-duckling growth stages. 6. Look at the criticism again. Does it remind you of any criticism from your past—particularly shaming childhood criticism? Acknowledge to yourself that the current criticism is triggering grief over a longstanding wound. 7. Write a letter to the critic—not to be mailed, most probably. Defend your work and acknowledge what was helpful, if anything, in the criticism proffered. 8. Get back on the horse. Make an immediate commitment to do something creative. 9. Do it. Creativity is the only cure for criticism." - JULIA CAMERON Listen to my take on week one here: https://shows.acast.com/6152264dc28ad2001383af42/episodes/1033-artists-way-week-1 Listen to my take on week two here: https://shows.acast.com/6152264dc28ad2001383af42/episodes/1048-the-artists-way-week-2-going-sane RESOURCES: https://juliacameronlive.com/GET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

HT1798 - A Flourish, a Dash of Spice, a Jot of Sparkle For decades now, the presentation of a photograph in the fine art world has been codified to the white, bevel-cut mat board. Is that the limit of our creativity? Would it be awful if we were to jazz up the presentation of our photographs to something more exotic?

I've done my fair share of yearly, half yearly and quarterly reflections. Big fan. Today I am sharing some of my all time favorite reflection questions.  These are questions that I believe best set you up for a more successful and aligned year ahead of you. That's the goal. I am NOT a fan of planning next year in the absence of reflecting on the current one - whether you had goals and plans this year or not. Reflection questions: We start off positive, and then get into some more challenging questions - where I want you to question and push yourself. Answer these for career or business and personal. What went well this year? Where did I grow the most? Where did I surprise myself? Where do I feel stagnant or apathetic?  How did I get uncomfortable? Did I get uncomfortable? Or did I stay in comfort? What did I let go of, if anything? AND what should I have let go of - Totally or sooner? Monthly bullet point + emotional reflection Got this from Hillary Rushford's year in review. I don't know what she currently offers, but I love this exercise and it's the most important thing for me to do annually. Go month by month - look at your planner (this is what I do), and jot down key events. I do this for life and work. For instance if I was on maternity leave, or we had guests every weekend, or we were moving, or had 7 contractors at the house that month, I'd note that.  These add context to the emotion or theme you're going to choose for that month. You can note revenue as well. See trends, highs and lows. When you got influxes of clients. Did you join a course or go to an event? Jot these things down. Once all your bullet points are in for the month recap, then choose ONE WORD - an emotion or theme that encompasses that month. This is a challenge, and where things get…real. You will likely see a trend or overall vibe of your year - maybe seasons. And that, in my opinion, leads to clarity on what might need to change for the year ahead. AND THAT, leads to our last question to ask. How do you want to feel next year?  Then plan some decisions that  You have control over Will bring you that/those feelings regardless of circumstance.
