In this episode, I reflect on the concept of "Savoring the Good," inspired by a recent family celebration—the 50th anniversary of my parents. This milestone event not only called for a grand celebration but also brought to light the joys and stresses of planning a gathering with many moving parts.How can we allow ourselves to truly experience and absorb these joyous moments while they unfold? How do you focus on being present and fully engaged in the experience, rather than letting the good times slip away unnoticed.It's about creating a home for joy within our lives, so we can nurture these moments and carry them with us long after the event has passed. The essence of this practice is not just about the events themselves but about cultivating a deeper capacity to find and hold onto joy, ultimately impacting how we experience our lives as we navigate the complexities of life, love, and celebrations.What you'll learn from this episode:The importance of noticing joyHow to savor the goodEmbracing the joy in your lifeFeatured on the show:Follow me on Instagram to learn more about navigating your wedding with grace and ease: https://www.instagram.com/karaghassabeh/Check out **The Bridal Prep Academy:** https://karamaureen.comLet's connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KaraMaureenBridalCoachingGet your copy of the book, **Whispers to a Bride:**https://www.amazon.com/Whispers-Bride-handle-stress-drama/dp/B0BCRXBQFN/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1UXWJVJOF3MNI&keywords=whispers+to+a+bride&qid=1662643892&sprefix=whispers+to+a+bride%2Caps%2C141&sr=8-1

Are you really okay, or have you just become good at pretending? Many of us go through the motions—showing up, performing, and pushing through—while feeling disconnected, drained, and on the edge. If this resonates with you, you’re not alone. In this episode of A Really Good Cry, I talk to Dr. Judith Joseph, a psychiatrist and mental health expert, about high-functioning depression. We dive into why some of the most seemingly “put-together” individuals are struggling in silence, and how suppressing pain can also dull our capacity for joy. We explore how people-pleasing and overachievement often serve as coping mechanisms, and discuss small but impactful changes that can help you reconnect with yourself. Dr. Judith also shares the 5 Vs, a science-based approach to finding balance, processing emotions, and rediscovering joy. If you’ve ever felt like you should be fine but aren’t, this episode is for you.

"Letting go of exhaustion as a status symbol and productivity as self-worth begins with understanding that play and rest are not luxuries—they are essential." – Dr. Brené Brown, The Gifts of ImperfectionWhat if we stopped wearing exhaustion as a badge of honor and started valuing rest, play, creativity, and self-expression as essential components of a fulfilling life?In this episode of Love & Learn, we explore the importance of cultivating play and rest, creativity, meaningful work, and embracing joy through laughter, song, and dance. By letting go of the pressure to be constantly productive, we reconnect with what truly nourishes our well-being.In this episode, we'll uncover:Why rest and play are antidotes to burnout and essential for joyHow releasing societal pressures around productivity allows for greater creativityThe power of meaningful work that aligns with personal values, not external expectationsHow laughter, song, and dance foster connection and freedom from the need to be "cool" or in controlKEY TAKEAWAYS:1. Creativity is Essential for Meaning and Fulfillment: Creativity allows us to express our true selves and connect with the world in a unique way. By letting go of comparison, we can embrace creativity as a core part of who we are, which brings deeper meaning and fulfillment into our lives.2. Play and Rest Are Non-Negotiable for Well-Being: In a world that glorifies busyness, it's easy to view rest and play as unproductive, but they are vital for renewal. Play provides joy and energy, while rest helps us recharge and avoid burnout. Both are essential for living a more balanced, fulfilling life.3. Meaningful Work Aligns with Personal Values: Meaningful work isn't about conforming to societal “supposed to's.” Instead, it's about aligning your work with your passions and values, which fosters a greater sense of purpose and satisfaction.4. Laughter, Song, and Dance Foster Joy and Connection: Letting go of the need to appear cool or "in control" allows us to reconnect with our playful selves. Through laughter, song, and dance, we build deeper emotional connections and experience joy in its purest form.Remember: By cultivating creativity, rest, meaningful work, and moments of joy, we can live more wholehearted lives. These practices remind us to embrace our imperfections and lead with authenticity, love, and connection.Tune in to hear how these guideposts can help you live a more joyful, creative, and connected life!ALL CONCEPTS FROM THE GIFTS OF IMPERFECTIONLetting Go of Living from a Place of UNWORTHINESSLetting Go of PERFECTIONISM, PEOPLE-PLEASING, and NumbingLetting Go of the NEED FOR CERTAINTY, Anxiety as a Lifestyle, and ScarcityLetting Go of EXHAUSTION as a Status Symbol and Productivity as Self-WorthCONNECT WITH DR.

Start EVERY day the Chuck Norris Way with Morning Kick! Get the JOY discount on Morning Kick HERE: www.chuckdefense.com/JoyHow pervasive is Sean Comb's child sex trafficking ring and is the network WAY bigger than the Hollywood celebrities implicated? Could local officials, corrupt judges and rogue government agencies also be involved?Just a few years after the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, rap mogul Sean Combs is in jail facing absolutely horrifying charges following his arrest and a massive police raid at multiple residences. Combs was arrested in September and charged with three felony counts for racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty, the judge denied Combs' request for bail and set a trial date of May 5, 2025.Like Epstein, the REAL story is much bigger than the scumbag front man on the front pages of all the newspapers.The story is about the power players & influencers and local agencies behind Sean Combs, who were potentially blackmailed and coerced into committing crimes with hundreds of hours of incriminating videotape and photos.Potentially implicated? Jennifer Lopez, The Kardashian Clan (like ALL of them), Kanye West, Jay Z, Beyonce, record label CEOs and scores of other Hollywood A-listers who frequented his infamous White Parties featuring late night ‘freak offs' which were actually grotesque orgies complete with accusations and evidence of drugging, violence, rape and other crimes.Also implicated? Local government officials, judges and corrupt cops. This is based on a revelations from investigative reporter Michael Volpe who has been following a case dating all the way back to June of 1997 and an absolutely stunning affidavit filed in a civil case. This angle might even be the most disturbing as it points to the very very granular and ultimately LOCAL operation that must be in place for a sex trafficking cartel to survive and thrive.This could be in your town too.Stunning deep dive TODAY on the SJ Show!______________________________________Show Notes:Michael Volpe's Report on Derrick Lee & The Diddy Connectionhttps://michaelvolpe.substack.com/p/michael-volpe-investigates-special-598DOJ Report on Charges Filed In Manhattan Federal Court With Sex Trafficking And Other Federal Offenseshttps://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/sean-combs-charged-manhattan-federal-court-sex-trafficking-and-other-federal-offenses#:~:text=Among%20other%20things%2C%20COMBS'%20sexual,a%20multi%2Dfaceted%20business%20empire.A Former SDNY Prosecutor's Read on the Diddy Indictmenthttps://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/sean-diddy-combs-indictment-a-federal-prosecutor-view.htmlWATCH - ALL the Celebs Going DOWN With Diddyhttps://youtu Extra special bonus from Field of Greens!!!!Plug in the promo code SHANNON for an additional 15% off your purchase!Go to www.fieldofgreens.com to shop and save!

HR: Human Revolution (featuring Katrina Ghazarian)Putting the human back in human resourcesGUEST BIO:Katrina Ghazarian is a dynamic CEO of Gameday HR, known for her innovative approach to human resources and workplace culture. With a background that spans from banking to HR, she brings a unique blend of practical experience and insightful leadership to her role. Katrina is recognized as one of the top HR consultants in the nation, driven by her deep passion for people and commitment to employee success. Katrina advocates for proactive change in corporate America, focusing on holistic development and the power of a positive and inclusive workplace environment.LinksLinkedInInstagramCORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[0:30] - Insecurity: From College to the Job HuntFlipping the script on the employer-applicant relationshipMike McFall opens the conversation by discussing his recent interaction with college students. He observes their insecurity regarding employment, noting their perception of employers as all-knowing entities. Mike remarks, "They're so insecure about the process... like the employer is this all-knowing czar." The truth, he says, is much different — employers are often trying to figure things out as they go, and in new employees they're looking for a partner to help them do it.[23:55] - There Is No “Traditional” WorkweekLonger hours don't add up to better performanceMike and the gang question the conventional 40-60 hour workweek in corporate America, proposing that optimal performance doesn't necessarily correlate with longer hours. He challenges the notion of hard work equating to actual output. We tend to assume that the people who work the hardest make the most impact, but this isn't always the case.[33:10] - Flexibility, Autonomy, and JoyHow work life has changed in the last decadeThe team highlights how the evolution of workplace flexibility, particularly the shift towards hybrid work environments, has made the professional world much more human-friendly. Katrina emphasizes the importance of adapting to modern work demands, and how the last ten years has seen a monumental shift in flexibility of schedules and the physical places people can work and work from — though there's still a long way to go.[42:12] - HR as Human Growth AdvocatePutting the “human” back in “human resources”Katrina discusses the significance of HR in facilitating not just professional but personal growth of employees. She shares her belief that love in leadership means “accepting everyone for who they are as they are now,” combining this acceptance with the ambition to be a true resource for spiritual growth for every individual at your organization.[1:00:57] - Busting Stereotypes in HR and BusinessHow Katrina is helping change the game in HRKatrina challenges the traditional perceptions and stereotypes in HR and business, particularly regarding women in leadership roles. She advocates for a more inclusive and understanding approach, saying: "You have to be a good person, which means you have got to do a lot of your inner work." This flies in the face of the profits-first, people-second approach of many companiesRESOURCES:[11:24] Gameday HR[59:52] Loving What Is, by Byron Katie[1:00:57] Women Who Run with the Wolves, by Clarissa Pinkola Estés[1:02:06] Letting Go, by David R.
