In today's episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Lewis who is an Osteomyologist and Spinologist who assists individuals with their health and wellbeing. After putting his back out whilst mopping the floor, Lewis sought help through chiropractic treatments. Lewis, an engineer by trade, became fascinated by this process, re-training first as a personal trainer and then as an Osteomyologist (bone and muscle specialist). During this conversation, Lewis highlights how important it is to take care of your physical body, demonstrating that when this is out of alignment it can have a detrimental impact on all areas of your life. KEY TAKEAWAYSWhen the spine is out of alignment it puts stress on the nervous system which can create imbalance throughout the entire body.It is important to be proactive with taking care of yourself and your body.We need to drink enough water each day for our body's needs.Your body needs the right type of nutrition to help it remain healthy. Exercise is required to keep the body working effectively.Posture plays a massive role upon our body and our health. BEST MOMENTS“It's very rare that you'll find people that are proactive in the beginning until they've gone through certain misfortunes and then they go, I don't want to be like this no more.”“If you have all the good stuff, plenty of fruits and veg, no processed stuff, your body is then better able to deal with the processed stuff that you'll put in.”“From our perspective, we're not here to tell you how to live your life. We want to take the stress out of your nervous system.”“When you're sat constantly, muscles aren't firing, you're not moving properly, your heart's slowing down, so things aren't being pushed around the system, but it is so important to move.”“We're always here to help our guests know, regardless of what's going on in their life, we want to try and help them the best. Whether it's just, we're there for an ear for them to listen, to listen to them about their woes of that day or that week.”“Everything in this world is made up of energy. Whether people want to believe it or not, and that's the beautiful thing. If you don't believe it, well it's still going to happen.” HOST BIODebbie is a seasoned therapist whose journey from being a primary school teacher to an adept therapist has been fuelled by her fascination with the intricacies of human nature.

In today's episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Donna Alexander, a reiki practitioner who has trained in a number of different therapeutic modalities. After feeling overwhelmed and unfulfilled running her floristry business, Donna began to suffer from burnout. Upon going to see her massage therapist, she suggested that Donna try reiki. This experience was transformational for Donna, setting her on a new path of healing and wellbeing, encouraging her to leave behind the things that were no longer serving her. KEY TAKEAWAYSWhen you're in the wrong job or environment it can have a detrimental impact on your well-being. Reiki and energy healing can provide balance on all levels of your being.Connecting in with guides and angels can give a sense of comfort and support.Manifesting helps to change your mindset and turn your hopes into reality.Looking for signs from the Universe within our surroundings can help us to feel connected and guided.Grounding and protecting yourself is important when coming into contact with others' energies.Sometimes people and situations you have outgrown need to fall away to make room for new opportunities to emerge. BEST MOMENTS“You often could be chatting to a stranger or suddenly you say hello, or you make eye contact and the next thing they're telling their life story. So obviously, when I had my business, I met a lot of people, so there was always that connection, but it was also very draining.”“So anyway, I just trusted her, and she started sort of doing a little bit of like a meditation to relax me and things like that. And she proceeded to do Reiki and I just could feel myself relaxing. And then I could see colours floating in and out of my eyes.”“I felt so good. I completely had gone into that room, dark, upset, crying, aching, everything, just feeling really traumatized. Going home, I was buzzing.”“We started to manifest and do positive affirmations. And then we would be really woo woo and be asking the angels for help. In your head's rationale you think, no, I can't, what is she talking about, the angels?!”“I had a sign above the door, 3D letters that were pinned onto the wall sort of thing. The letters started falling off. One at a time. And I was like, it's just a sign, you know, the universe telling me that this isn't going to be in my life for much longer.”“Reiki one was such an enlightenment really because we had case studies to do, basically working on family and friends. They were my guinea pigs, but they were all completely blown away by the experience. And I was completely blown away by the experience. How can something like that be so powerful?”“If there's something that doesn't feel right, you have to listen to that and act on it and know that you can change the way it's making you feel. So, if you're in that job, that feels rubbish, there are ways out it. There are always opportunities. You just need to keep your mind open.” HOST BIODebbie is a seasoned therapist whose journey from being a primary school teacher to an adept therapist has been fuelled by her fascination with the intricacies of human nature.

In this episode, Cristina Aroche discusses how the Archangels support us in healing. She explains that when we ask for their support, they energetically clear out any heavy or stagnant energy and help us release what is ready to be let go of. However, it is our responsibility to integrate this healing by shifting our mindset and behavior. The Archangels also reveal truths about ourselves and our mission, and it is up to us to trust and pursue these truths. Additionally, they mirror certain aspects of ourselves to inspire and activate those qualities within us. Ultimately, the Archangels are here to help us tap into our own power and bring forth our innate abilities.Key TakeawaysWhen we ask for the Archangels' support, they energetically clear out heavy and stagnant energy and help us release what is ready to be let go of.It is our responsibility to integrate the healing by shifting our mindset and behavior.The Archangels reveal truths about ourselves and our mission, and it is up to us to trust and pursue these truths.They mirror certain aspects of ourselves to inspire and activate those qualities within us.The Archangels are here to help us tap into our own power and bring forth our innate abilities.Chapters00:30 Introduction00:54 How Archangels Support Us in Healing03:45 Revealing Truths and Taking Action05:11 Archangels as Mirrors13:37 Archangels Open Energy, but We Must Walk the Path15:27 Archangels Teach Us to Tap into Our Own Power15:50 ConclusionFree Guided Meditation “Meet Your Angels”: https://www.cristinaaroche.com/meditationJoin The Divine Pathfinders Community:https://community.cristinaaroche.com/share/10-RSVMzYVQPCaX9?utm_source=manualSubmit your question to be answered on the podcast here: https://www.cristinaaroche.com/ask-cristinaTo learn more about The Divine Connection Podcast and how you can be featured, visit https://www.cristinaaroche.com/podcast ABOUT CRISTINA Cristina Aroche is a Spiritual Teacher and Healer.

In this episode, Debbie speaks with her friend Trudy Randall about her journey of healing and well-being which occurred after she embarked on studying a body of knowledge called the Freedom Teachings. Through her newfound understanding of the world in which we live, Trudy learnt how to release limiting programmes that she was running such as perfectionism, limiting beliefs, and making judgements.This helped her to instil boundaries, trust in her own intuitive knowledge, and have more compassion for others, which has enabled her to experience life, and embrace what it has to offer more fully. After studying many therapeutic modalities, Trudy is now setting up her therapy practice, helping her clients to notice the stories and patterns that run beneath their issues so that they can gain a new knowledge and understanding of themselves and the world around them. KEY TAKEAWAYSWhen you begin to explore the world we live in and creation from a bigger perspective, it allows for more compassion for others and for humanity.NLP is a modality that can open you up to the art of listening and seeing.It is important to feel safe so that you can be vulnerable in front of a therapist.When working on yourself it is paramount to take responsibility for yourself and your own actions. It is important to reflect and acknowledge the part we have played in different situations.People can shy away from healing because it is too painful or difficult to face.We don't have to do the healing journey on our own.When you go on that healing journey, you start to find other people that you resonate with, who tend to speak truths that resonate with your soul. The body is phenomenal and can heal itself. BEST MOMENTS "I've always, always been searching, wanting to search for the truth. Always trying to help. People and humanity, that's just in me, that's like you are, and that's why we really resonated with each other.”“Okay, you need time to digest that information and then I get being pulled back into it was this some part of me saying I need to know more, I need to know more.”“You can show them certain things that they get those aha moments, which is the life changing moments within everybody. And, I've had many, many of those throughout my lifetime.”“We're not taught things, that we should really be taught in school, and how life works and things like that. So, you bumble through life and, you know, through that naivety, you learn all these lessons, sometimes the hard way.”“And there comes a bit of serenity and peace when you do face things.”“We can only look after our own energy, ultimately. That's what we can do there. We can be there for other people, but it's our responsibility to look after our own energy.”“If you're low and you're stuck there and not prepared to do the work on yourself, you're just going to attract like-minded people, so the spiral is downwards instead of upwards.” HOST BIODebbie is a seasoned therapist whose journey from being a primary school teacher to an adept therapist has been fuelled by her fascination with the intricacies of human nature.

KEY TAKEAWAYSWhen we are exposed to multiple issues and trauma it can become too much and our mental health can suffer.Making plans for the future is important for our wellbeing.Fear of change can keep us stuck in situations that make us feel unhappy.No matter how much you care about someone, you can't fully help them unless they are ready and willing to help themselves.By leaving situations that we have outgrown, it can make us better people.It is fulfilling to be able to support others grow and transform whether this be at home, with loved ones, or professionally. BEST MOMENTS "And for me, that is where my struggle has always been, is why, why was I not wanted?”“I experienced a lot of bullying through school and the reason for that was because kids in the school knew I was different.”“That stayed with me for a long time, and I think that's helped. Although it's not nice to say, I think that's made me a more compassionate person.”“I am going to go out there and I'm going to achieve it. I always remember having Danger, which was my horse, and he was amazing. And he took me so far and took me to places where you, you'd never imagine.”“I remember going to college and I remember my tutor saying to me, you'll never pass level two.”“I'd urge anybody out there that is having that type of fear to really sit down and have a really good think about what is it you want to do in life? What is your main aspirations? What is your what is your goal.”“Friends are the new family. Family is what you make it.” HOST BIODebbie is a seasoned therapist whose journey from being a primary school teacher to an adept therapist has been fuelled by her fascination with the intricacies of human nature.

BEST MOMENTS "When we did the podcast before, redundancy was not in the picture, was not on the horizon, wasn't even a consideration.”"It's absolutely nothing compared to giving someone a therapy session of any description and seeing the change, even a small change, is a change and it's a step in the right direction for them, whichever direction they want to go in. And you just can't beat it."“The area manager had rung him and said, I'm making redundancies, it affects assistant managers.”“I'd just been saying that morning, about how I decided this and I'd finished this qualification and really loved it and felt like I identified and a sound therapist. And here I am getting made redundant just minutes later after telling them."“It was so much easier knowing, I was a changed person”.

Danielle was interviewed by Tze Ching Yeung on her podcast "Lead with purpose" about branding for businesses and personal brands and her creative journey. Tze Ching started her entrepreneurial journey back in 2007 with the launch of a sustainable clothing and home furnishing ecommerce business. Through the 15-year journey, she learned so much, but easily the most meaningful lesson learned was about the importance of marketing. She now focuses on channelling those insights to help others succeed, through We Disrupt Agency, a business coaching, mentoring and digital marketing company.KEY TAKEAWAYSWhen people talk about a brand, it's someone's gut instinct, initial reaction to hearing a company name, seeing a logo. It's often a feeling, there's often associations, these are things brands like Nike have put out into the world for years that we now associate with them. That's what brand is, it's way more than a logo, some colours, a strap line. Brand strategy is all about figuring out your why – why is your company going to exist? It has to be something beyond making money, there has to be a reason you're starting this brand. Is there something in the world that you want to change?What's your purpose, your vision, your values? They define your foundation. Look at your product/service, and if it's actually viable in the market? If there is no competition; worry, because if no one else is doing it perhaps it doesn't make money. Competition is always a good sign. Once you've got your offer/product/service, who's it for? Not just the individual but the tribes/communities then look at how you attract them. BEST MOMENTS‘A brand is what people say about you and what you are when you're not in the room, people's gut feeling about your brand when they hear your name.'‘What's the one thing that no one else is doing that you can attribute yourself to? What makes you unique and different? What are people going to care about?'‘A lot of decisions are made on assumptions, but until you ask and do research you never really know.'‘If you're the founder, and it's your business, your brand is an extension of you. The company will change as it gets bigger, but the core essence shouldn't really change.'ABOUT THE HOST - DANIELLE CLARKEDanielle Clarke is a Brand Strategist and University Lecturer.

[03:48] Aleeza finds that moving to Israel has made her business international and describes what happens on her world tour events. [07:00] Aleeza gives her advice to single Jews living in Atlanta, discusses her business, and the differences between the age groups she sees. [12:30] Aleeza describes her reaction when the date goes well and why faith-based people are easier for her to connect with. [15:32] How is Aleeza's business unique from others? KEY TAKEAWAYSWhen people share the same faith, finding someone to love is easier because they hold the same values. Older daters are looking for people similar to themselves, whereas younger ones are looking for someone different.  Give dating someone a chance before you toss in the towel and move on to the next person.RESOURCE LINKS:Jewish Time -  PodcastAtlanta Jewish Times - WebsiteAtlanta Jewish Times - FacebookAtlanta Jewish Times - YouTube"Get Real Get Married" on AmazonAleeza Ben Shalom's ELI TalkAleeza Ben Shalom's - Website Atlanta Jewish Times on Ben Shalom's Atlanta EventsBIOGRAPHY: Aleeza Ben Shalom, the dating coach at the center of Jewish Matchmaking, has her own matchmaking business working across the United States and Israel and specializes in helping to pair up compatible couples in Jewish communities.

Ideally, we're trying to match people so that they can find the person that they're going to choose to live with for a lifetime.” - Aleeza Ben Shalom “One unique thing about our services is that we will not offer straight matchmaking, meaning making introductions only. We will make introductions, but it must be accompanied by coaching and support, another part of the matchmaking process. So for us, it's a well-rounded process.” Aleeza Ben Shalom

How do you approach decisions or judgements that rest on the likelihood of something being true or the likelihood of something happening? Most of us find it difficult to take into account a critical factor known as the base rate.KEY TAKEAWAYSWhen it comes to making judgements and decisions, humans are hardwired to do a couple of things that are often - but not always - helpful.One thing that's true of all humans is that we love patterns. Our brain will try to match things we see and hear to patterns or templates that we've accepted as true. We see a person or hear a description of them (such as the fictional Tom who we describe in this episode) and we subconsciously form some assumptions about that person. Those subconscious assumptions can be exposed when we're asked to make a prediction about that person - and 'Presto', Tom becomes a librarian - or a tradesman.But when we're focused on a single individual or a particular situation, we're ignoring the broader population. Base rate neglect is that tendency to ignore the statistical likelihood of something being true. We also have a strong tendency to see ourselves as exceptional. For some reason we think that statistics don't apply to us. Sure, most registered actors don't find work - and those that do earn generally don't earn enough to make a living. But somehow we all think things will be different for us. This is base rate neglect.LINKSIf you haven't already got a copy, do yourself a favour and buy 'The Scout Mindset' by Julia Galef. Galef illustrates base rate neglect and a related thinking problem that we'll address next episode called 'optimism bias' really well in that book.Want to ponder false positives and false negatives a bit more. Check out https://www.mathsisfun.com/data/probability-false-negatives-positives.html (I can't guarantee that it will be fun, but it explains it pretty well!)Here's a nice little explanation of correlation vs causation if you want a refresher - https://www.understandinghealthresearch.org/useful-information/correlation-and-causation-15 And if you've never seen the spurious correlations website, it's hilarious: https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations (surely it can't be purely coincidental that per capita cheese consumption correlates with the number of people who died by becoming tangled in their bedsheets?!!WHAT TO DO?How do we reduce the impact of base rate neglect on our judgements and decisions? Pause. Yes, pause. That's essential for mitigating the impacts of all biases. Quick thinking (often called system 1 thinking) is useful when you see a bear in the woods, but less useful when you're deciding whether to invest your hard-earned savings into your friends' new start-up. And while you're pausing, ask - 'What do the statistics have to teach me here? What is the likelihood that... (fill in the blank - e.g. '...Tom is a librarian?' / '...John and Louise's cafe will be successful?' / '...I will win the lottery?'). We can all be fortunate. We can all become above average at some things - perhaps even exceptional and highly successful. But statistics matter and at some point, the bell curve tolls for us all!If you've enjoyed this episode, please take two minutes to rate us on your podcast player and tell a friend about the show.IN OUR NEXT EPISODE...Next episode we'll be talking about optimism bias - one we're both rather susceptible to!For more episodes and information about decision making head over to our website: https://goodbetterright.com.au/podcast/Tessa Mudge and Ken Smith

Fear prevents us from taking action. Instead we need to move into a place of faith, of trust.  In this episode, Steven discusses that when we live from a state of fear in our life, it prevents us from really being able to connect closely with our loved ones, or be able to be resourceful in the moment, and really be able to take advantage of making the changes that we need to make, in order to live the very best life we can live.Key TakeawaysWhen we give into the fear, we end up giving up our control of our own self will and ability to take action by allowing  others or the outside world to lead us.As passive investors, you are in a position where trust is a must. Building that understanding and connection along with your expertise, is the path forward.We are currently living in the best time in history to invest. Seize the the faith and trust and move out of fear.

But then as you get older, as you do more in business, you realise that there's there's money everywhere. It's just a case of building out a strategy to sort and make sure it finds its way to you. For Marvin wealth means his family, connections, and relationships. Money is important, sure, but it's not the be all and end all.Money should be the enabler of all the dreams that you have in terms of creating a life that you are proud of and the life that you have no regrets. And it should be about focusing on the legacy that you leave behind, not in terms of a financial legacy, but more people remembering the things that you did, and the way you made them feel.A lot of people drift along through life. But to be successful, you have to have a plan. And have a complete self awareness and be extremely aware of everything's going on. You make one choice, left or right. Create a roadmap and clarify your vision. You can have the best strategy in the world, or the best strategist present you with how to have the most successful business. But if you don't have the mindset to believe you can deliver on that strategy, the outcome will be what the outcome was meant to be, then you're never ever going to have that success. You don't get confident because you have the right relationship with money, you get the right relationship with money, because you have self confidence.Success is never going to be a linear one and never going to be an easy one. But if you keep plowing and keep plugging away at it, then you are going to get to where you are to where you want to in this journey of life.Connect with Marvin ReidWebsite volumetwo.co.ukTwitter @Volume_twoInstagram @volume2officialClubhouse @sales_marketingConnect with Lesley ThomasJoin the newsletter www.themoneyconfidenceacademy.com/newsletter/FREE Resources www.themoneyconfidenceacademy.com/resources/My website www.themoneyconfidenceacademy.com/Join my Facebook Group www.facebook.com/groups/moneyconfidencecommunityFollow me on Instagram www.instagram.com/lesleythomascoaching/Connect with me on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/lesley-thomas Hosted on Acast.

SummaryElle Mitchel and Arabela Espinoza, the duo behind Weekend Creative, have made a name for themselves as being fun to work with, producing great content for their client brands, and generally being excellent people. That's not sheer luck, they run a business and have learned a lot over the last several years about how to run it successfully. We invited Weekend Creative to the podcast to give our audience tips on how they can set themselves up for success when working with an external agency or studio.Key TakeawaysWhen approaching a commercial studio or agency for work on your creative project, having a sense of budget and deliverables is a great start. You should investigate the agency that you want to work with. Understand their body of work and style. Having an idea of what you like from the agency you choose makes it easier to get on the same page earlier. Approach the relationship as a partnership. True creative partners where the brand provides input on what is important to the brand and the agency executes that in accordance with their style. There are many practical needs to approaching the external agency or studio, but don't neglect the emotional needs. You should be excellent to work with. Be prepared to be told No. Agencies are businesses in their own right, with values, capacity, ability to execute on certain things, etc. Time and money can unlock a lot of great creative, but you have to respect that it requires that investment. It makes for a challenging relationship if you contract with an agency or studio and treat them like an extension of your full time team. Be a champion for your contractor, internally and externally. It's all about communication. Discount CodeReminder to use code ECCP to get your first month of PhotoRoom Pro for free!

When considering MDM and governance architectures for your organization, it is important to know each of the dynamics in which they relate to your most critical data when growing your business.In this episode of CDO Matters, Malcolm is a guest on the Data Engineering Podcast with Tobias Macey. This episode is a great fit for any non-technical data leader who is looking to gain a deeper understanding of some of the technical dependencies and concepts required for successful master data management (MDM) and data governance — but without getting too deep into jargon or software engineering concepts.If you're a business-centric CDO with limited technical experience or background, this podcast will help you to build your data literacy and allow you to have deeper and more compelling conversations with your technical staff — and it will help you make more informed technology-centric decisions. Malcolm and Tobias cover some of the technical concepts involved in MDM and governance programs — in both relatable and understandable terms — including:MDM systems architecture and typical implementation patternsThe connection between MDM, data engineering and systems architectureData modeling for MDM and data governance The processes used in MDM platforms to support data quality requirements Entity resolution, i.e., matching or deduplication MDM team dynamics and roles, the role of data stewardship. After listening to this podcast, any data leaders who may be new to the concepts of MDM or data governance will why their organizations need these foundational elements and better understand how they can be used to drive business benefit. Key Moments3:14-6:50: Identifying ‘who is a customer' to model and govern data 7:11-9:27: What is MDM and how does it add value? 10:27-14:57: Who needs MDM and how does new technology solve for data quality? 15:11-17:53: Limitations and considerations when searching for a “single source of truth” 18:15-21:45: Who is responsible for MDM within an organization and who comprises it? 22:16-26:59: What are the differences between analytical and operational MDM? 29:15-31:50: Top 4 reasons that so many MDM implementations fail 32:45-36:40: Using a business perspective to identify the right outcomes 37:40-42:25: How MDM is evolving to use graph functionality in addition to relational databases 42:32-43:15: Why Customer Data Platforms (CDPs) fall short for enterprise-level management 43:36-49:51: Insights on novel MDM use cases: data sharing, graph databases, data fabrics 50:08-53:53: 3 ‘Watch-outs' learned from years in the data management space 54:36-57:26: How small companies can implement MDM principles 57:38-1:00:14 The gap between data software and real business outcomes Key TakeawaysWhen is MDM relevant for an organization? (10:22-11:34)“The bigger and more complex you are and the more decentralized you are...where organizations are struggling to have a single view of the customer...the larger the company, the more they tend to have a need for MDM.” - Malcolm HawkerCloud-native data warehouses vs. MDM software (15:11-16:33)“There are many cloud-based data warehouse technologies that are saying we can enable a single version of the truth, and they absolutely can...but does it have all the flexibility and reconfigurability to allow for all the things that MDM software can do? Typically, they don't.” - Malcolm HawkerWhat are the differences between analytics and operational MDM?? (23:51-26:22)“An analytical style of MDM is where the flow [of data] is one-way...[operational MDM] can actually turn around and syndicate that data back down into consuming systems.” - Malcolm Hawker4 MDM pitfalls to avoid during your implementation (29:15-31:01)“If you've got a need for MDM and if you have been given a mandate by your management to come up with a single version of the truth...avoid the key pitfalls that often send so many MDM programs sideways.” - Malcolm HawkerCompanies of all sizes can benefit from MDM principles (57:05-57:26)“I would argue that most companies need MDM as a discipline...But chances are, you still have some use cases that need that consistent approach to the data management side...” - Malcolm HawkerAbout the GuestTobias Macey is a dedicated engineer with experience spanning many years and even more domains. He currently manages and leads the Technical Operations team at MIT Open Learning where he designs and builds cloud infrastructure to power online access to education for the global MIT community.

A lot of people live their lives waiting for that moment to be appreciated, recognised, seen and validated. Tara Love Perry, author of ‘I Love You, Me - 7 Steps To Transformational Self Love', joins Laura Mac on Life With Purpose today to tell you that you can welcome your own self, see ourselves as we truly are, and to see others as they are and truly connect.  KEY TAKEAWAYSWhen we look at each other, we see the layers of muck that build up over the years, but we often don't see what is truly within them. We need to shed the ideas of conditioned reality that isn't really us, then we can fulfil our potential and achieve true self love. Social media is promoting a narcissistic and egotistical version of self love, it isn't true unconditional self love. The superficial isn't going to lead to happiness. When we love ourselves unconditionally then we can live our true purpose and it will be a life we want to live over and over again. Facing your own fears and trauma is the scariest thing that people can do. We don't want to do it, we'd rather point the finger at other people than deal with our own issues. It takes bravery to step back and heal yourself, rather than deflect our feelings. It's only when you break the pattern and change the process that you'll see different results. Doing the same thing over and over is just going to lead you round and round in circles. BEST MOMENTS‘Hurt people, hurt people'‘There's nowhere love can't reach, it richest the deepest darkest places' ‘I want to live in a world where there's more love' ‘Love is for everyone' VALUABLE RESOURCEStransformingyoulive.comFind Tara's 12 week training program here: https://bit.ly/transformwithtaraloveperry ABOUT THE GUEST Tara Love Perry is a Master Soul Reader - A naturally born, psychic & intuitive energy worker with a high spectrum of extra-sensory abilities. ​She's known as the UK's leading Self-Love teacher and considered a pioneer in her field, leading the global shift in consciousness with her practical method for self love, self realisation, transformational healing, liberation and manifestation, the “I Love You, Me” Method.Tara is the acclaimed author of '"I Love You, Me" ~ 7 Steps To Transformational Self Love', and CEO of the Live In Light Academy since 2008.Tara's story is incredible, beginning when she was declared officially dead in the womb for an unheard of 2 month period due to a car crash, then miraculously 're-awakened'... ABOUT THE HOSTHey my name is Laura welcome to my podcast, it is my purpose in life to enlighten your mind , body and soul, to live a life with purpose and guide you to all things that connect us as human beings and for you to find that real true inner self, that has energy that radiates out to the world.

We've all heard of the phrase quality of life, but for many, quality of life is dependent on your quality of consciousness. This week Laura Mac is once again joined by Steve Swift on Life With Purpose this week to discuss the awareness of consciousness and unconscious awareness. How does our autopilot affect how we live our lives? KEY TAKEAWAYSWhen we become aware of our unconscious mind, it becomes part of our consciousness. Take a second to think about how your body feels right now, are you sitting or standing or laying down. There is pressure on certain parts of your body. Is there a background noise from a fan or a nearby road. When we notice these things they become seen and part of our consciousness.Quality of consciousness is being able to tune into all those unconscious things and opening our field to include more diverse sensations. The more we bring into our consciousness the more we understand and the more we understand the better our quality of consciousness is. When we become consciously aware, magical things happen. There is no better time than now to open ourselves up. There's a tremendous amount happening around us that we're just not tuned into in the now. Consciously we only get a small portion of the information that's around us, but is filtered out. Just because we don't notice what we're missing, doesn't mean it doesn't affect us.  BEST MOMENTS‘When we're seeing and in the now we're able to find the best versions of ourselves' ‘There's a glimpse of brilliance within everyone'‘Who shakes the sieve?' VALUABLE RESOURCEStransformingyoulive.com ABOUT THE GUEST It's Steve's purpose in life to share the instruction manual for the brain and help as many people as possible to become pioneers of their own mind. When you do, you realise you control your emotions and that your emotions don't control you. That's the secret of creating a Life of Freedom. Steve's Mission is to create a community that transforms one million lives each year. To deliver programs that are simply to use, yet as effective as peak performance coaching. To inspire everyone, regardless of their age, race or religion, because we were all born to stand out not just to fit in. ABOUT THE HOSTHey my name is Laura welcome to my podcast, it is my purpose in life to enlighten your mind , body and soul, to live a life with purpose and guide you to all things that connect us as human beings and for you to find that real true inner self, that has energy that radiates out to the world.

In this episode, we're talking about how to turn data into actionable insights that improve online campaign results with Dan Adams, Switchboard Software's VP of Revenue. You'll hear insights from Dan's 20+ years of experience in Technology/SaaS about navigating the data explosion, including advice on leveraging data science, creating data-driven go-to-market strategy, tools to organize data, alignment to target customer behavior, and much more.---------Quote"I've seen marketing efforts that haven't been generating the top 2 priorities... inbound leads and sales accepted opportunities. We want to drive all of our marketing effort towards those 2 things that really help us have a further picture: what does it cost to acquire a customer, and what is the ROI of our advertising spend? But it's all is based upon us generating more inbound leads and more sales accepted opportunities." ---------Key TakeawaysWhen working with clients to combine data into useful insights, Dan focuses on 3 key areas: 1) customer acquisition, 2) returns on advertising spending, and 3) the overall lifetime value of getting a new customer.You can move data from point A to point B, but if the data is coming in from numerous sources and is not clean, verified, transformed, or unified - you have a data dumpster.The first step in aligning content to customer pain points is meeting the customer where they are, then starting a conversation that can pivot into your company's value.---------Time Stamps:* (1:02) Dan's role at Switchboard Software as VP of Revenue * (3:11) Data and digital transformation as a way of doing business* (6:38) How to leverage data science to drive growth * (13:52) Tools to help organize data * (15:36) Improving the relationship between Marketing and Sales* (21:09) Creating a data-driven go-to-market strategy* (27:34) Rapid-fire questions --------SponsorThis podcast is brought to you by DemandJump.

Do you want to feel more connected and fulfilled in your life? Have you been feeling a bit off course and disengaged? The practice of groundedness leads to a sustainable path to feeding a life in alignment with your values. In this episode of “Your Life in Process,” Diana discusses how to ground deeply in your values with author and executive coach Brad Stulberg. About Brad StulbergBrad Stulberg is the bestselling author of The Practice of Groundedness. He also runs a one-on-one executive and performance coaching practice. He has both undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Michigan. He can be found on Twitter at https://twitter.com/BStulberg. Key TakeawaysWhen you are stuck in restless energy and struggling with focus, having a foundational base you can ground yourself in is key to forward motion in life. Becoming grounded requires slowing down and practicing patience, which in our fast pace culture is a radical action.  When we slow down in physical movement, true connection and community can grow.  Relevant Resources Mentionedhttps://drdianahill.com/extras/ (Download Your Daily Practice for Episode 19 Here) https://www.bradstulberg.com/ (Learn More About Brad Stulberg) https://twitter.com/bstulberg/status/1353709403061547009?lang=en (Find Brad Stulberg on Twitter) Read Brad Stulberg's books: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/667526/the-practice-of-groundedness-by-brad-stulberg/ (The Practice of Groundedness); https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/593398/peak-performance-by-brad-stulberg-and-steve-magness/ (Peak Performance); https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/592250/the-passion-paradox-by-brad-stulberg-and-steve-magness/ (The Passion Paradox) Read about https://anniemurphypaul.com/books/the-extended-mind/ (Annie Paul-Murphy; The Extended Mind) Learn about https://www.instagram.com/nutritiousmovement/?hl=en (Katy Bowman's Ideas on Nutritious Movement) Listen to https://drdianahill.com/captivate-podcast/dopamine-nation-the-neuroscience-of-our-everyday-addictions-with-dr-anna-lembke/ (Diana's Conversation about Dopamine Nation) with Dr. Annie Lembke Learn More about http://insightla.org/drdianahill (Insight LA) https://drdianahill.com/events/ (Diana's upcoming events) Thank you for listening to Your Life in Process!

In the episode, you'll discover how Collective[i] disrupted the sales forecasting game with a pillar-based marketing strategy that built strong brand awareness and generated an impressive volume of leads, and much more.---------Quote "We must have a dialogue with our customers but they don't want to start the dialogue by having me lecture. They want to go and read it, research it, form their own opinion and belief, come back with the questions and debates, and have you convince them as an advisor. They don't want to be sold to because they've been sold to for too many years." - Stephen Messer, Co-Founder, Collective[i] ---------Key TakeawaysWhen you're the leader (in a disruptive category especially), weaker players will put out misinformation or make themselves look like the one who is winning.People will decide within the first paragraph if the content is valuable or clickbait.Content needs to solve a problem, and the brands that win at marketing are the ones who enter into a dialogue by taking their time and providing real value.---------Time Stamps:* (:59) Stephen's journey to co-founding Collective[i]* (3:23) Parallel between agile sales and agile marketing* (8:37) Content marketing for a disruptive product* (11:32) Making data-driven decisions for SEO strategy * (15:52) Stephen's advice for aspiring entrepreneurs on marketing--------SponsorThis podcast is brought to you by DemandJump.

On this episode of Build Better Brands, Danielle Clarke is joined by Mark Shayler, the owner of Ape, a sustainable innovation studio that works with companies of all sizes to reduce the environmental impact of their products, packaging, processes and business models. Mark is also a renowned public speaker and has published two books, one on presenting (Do Present) and one on disruptive thinking (Do Disrupt). KEY TAKEAWAYSWhen you can change someone's mind about sustainability, you can normally change their mind about other things. I'm usually invited into businesses as “the sustainability guy” in a bigger innovation process. I'd sit and watch the whole process and thought “I can do this' ', I'm getting paid ‘x' and they're being paid ‘10x', so I began working in innovation too.As individuals we move through life like a sponge, soaking up the things that happen to us, more importantly everything that happens to other people, and they become debilitating, like a fear of flying or that your voice has nothing to say – even if it was originally told to you from a point of care. When we look at brand and the way a business functions – purpose – if we have really tight or constrained beliefs about what we can and can't do, it's like a plant in to small a pot and our roots can't spread, then our crown can't grow higher and wider, meaning it doesn't photosynthesise properly so the roots aren't fed. You become small on purpose, for all the right reasons, but you're not supposed to be small, you're supposed to be you-sized.Organisations usually start off brave, hungry and foolish and they make amazing mistakes and do great work, then they have too much to lose and they get worried about the way they're seen by the world and about stepping outside of their land so their lane gets narrower. Before you know it a business can have the same constraining beliefs and reticence to play and think big as individuals do.When I work with companies on their purpose and “why”, I like to keep the “why” as hippy-ish and broad as I can. If your “why” is broad – like Apples: to challenge the status quo – you could make a car instead of a laptop, or food, or a service. If a company works out its purpose on its beliefs other than its functions (which are “how” and “what”), then you'll never stray from it. BEST MOMENTS‘We can build bad brand better or we can build better brands, that's an important differentiation that sometimes we forget when we're talking about branding.'‘It's not good enough to be the best of the best, you need to be the only one doing what you do.'‘In your first 11 years you're pretty free, then you or your parents and teachers point out your eccentricities and we take our rough edges off. The thing that made you weird as a kid is what makes you unique today.'‘I use music in my presentations to explain what you're listening to now is normally a reaction to what came before. It can be a build, but it's usually a revolution. As a band changes its first group of fans doesn't want them to, but the band has to, otherwise they're remaking album one.' ABOUT THE GUESTMark Shayler helps big companies think small and small companies think big. Making stuff better and making better stuff. He is an innovation and environmental advisor who works with clients including Nike, Samsung, John Lewis, Tesco, RS Components, Coca Cola, Fenwick, Kier, Tesco Bank, Amazon and some of the greatest small companies in the world. Mark is the author of "Do Disrupt: Change the status quo or become it". He also builds start-ups inside bigger organisations and is a public speaker and compere, business coach, strategy advisor, brand provocateur, teacher and STEM advisor.Websites: http://thisisape.co.uk/ and https://www.reasonstobecheerful.co.uk/ Podcast: Making Things Better and Making Better ThingsInstagram: @markshaylerBooks: Do Present: How to Give a Talk and Be Heard and Do Disrupt: Change the Status Quo or Become it ABOUT THE HOSTDanielle Clarke is a Brand and Marketing Consultant, University Lecturer and Business Owner.Since 2006 Danielle has provided brand design and marketing support for clients including Škoda, Gtech, UK Biocentre, UK Mail and GIRLvsCANCER Danielle is committed to helping brands that want to have a positive impact on people's lives.

On this episode of Build Better Brands, Danielle Clarke is joined by Made By James a.k.a James Martin to talk about his life from someone who was off the rails to a success in logo design and soon to be an author as well as starting to get into mentoring. KEY TAKEAWAYSWhen you start to find your feet in design, you start to think “wouldn't it be cool to write a book one day?” and I thought maybe I'll do it in my dotage. But the idea came pre-Covid, in February 2020 and now it's all written, printed and is sitting in a shipping container ready to be out in the world.I always subconsciously wanted to be more, but when I was about 17-19 I was totally off the rails, didn't give a shit about what anybody thought, thought I was the big I am. There's a lot of deeper stuff too, like I was sexually abused by a teacher when I was 11 and growing up I rebelled and stopped trusting anybody. The turning point was, after one bender too many, lying there thinking “what's going on? What are you doing? Where are you going?” 19 years later, I'm here!Behind every successful person there's a past and a story and I think the story is what makes stuff interesting. If there's one person listening to this smoking weed and thinking I'm better, hopefully this might spur them on a little bit. I'm totally sober now and I now do everything, probably because it feels like I'm making up for all that lost time.I've always got a 10 year plan, for me the challenge is the transition that I'm in. For the last decade I've been building Baby Giant which involves lots of client work, which I love because it's what's got me to where I am today. But I now want to start being a good influencer on young creatives coming up and take on a mentor/educator role. The idea is to do half and half. BEST MOMENTS‘I hope being open about what I've been through allows other people to talk about stuff.'‘It's great that people are opening up about being gay or problems with drugs and alcohol.'‘I'm a believer in that I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be right now. I try to keep one foot in the present while looking at the future.'‘There's way more opportunities for creatives these days than there were a decade ago, definitely more than a decade ago.' ABOUT THE GUESTJames Martin grew up a creative, developed his skills in illustration, became a teacher, then a tattoo apprentice, and has now been in the graphic design world for over 15 years. He is now fully focused on Brand identity, logo design, and nurturing the new designers on this planet to find their own path in the creative industry.His mission is to provide his clients with iconic and memorable brand identity solutions, and guide the passionate creatives of this world through transparent communication and engaging content.Website: https://themadebyjames.com/ Book: Made by James: The Honest Guide to Creativity and Logo Design Instagram and Pinterest: @made.by.jamesYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/madebyjames ABOUT THE HOSTDanielle Clarke is a Brand and Marketing Consultant, University Lecturer and Business Owner.Since 2006 Danielle has provided brand design and marketing support for clients including Škoda, Gtech, UK Biocentre, UK Mail and GIRLvsCANCER.

On this episode of Build Better Brands, Danielle Clarke is joined by Natalia, founder of Chai Soul to explain a little about who she is, what she does and the harrowing story of how she got there. Chai Soul is a health and wellbeing company that specialises in pop up yoga events, community yoga classes (online and in person) and retreats. Natalia is passionate about empowering people to become the healthiest, happiest versions of themselves. KEY TAKEAWAYSWhen we're younger we have routines and habits instilled in us that are both good and bad, but there's rarely ever any mention of “strive to be happy”. We know we should do certain things, but what if they don't fulfil us or are damaging? These can manifest in different ways as we get older.Through all my experiences in life I realised that when you start doing good things for yourself people get offended and drift away leaving you to do things by yourself, so my events are for anyone who's suffering or is at the turning point in their lives so they have somewhere to go, they can turn up by themselves and know they are welcome with no judgement.At least every class there's always someone who says “I never take time out to do something like this”. Before people can be the best version of themselves, they first need to choose and show up for themselves. The next step is to get people to connect with their intuitionHave one non-negotiable for yourself every day, like going for a walk for 10 minutes or an hour, reading a chapter of a book for leisure, etc. Doing this then adding to it so you have many things for yourself during the week and you'll start to see the benefits quite quickly. BEST MOMENTS‘We're surrounded by people who wear burnout as a badge of honour.'‘We can all start again at any point in our lives.'‘I'm used to being a unicorn as a black person in financial services, but I know some aren't comfortable. You're welcome at my yoga events if you're black, overweight, a man, etc.'‘Think about what you want people to say about your business? Are you doing any of those things now?'VALUABLE RESOURCESThe book Natalia read that really changed her mindset: What I Know For Sure - Book by Oprah Winfrey - https://amzn.to/3xP5O55ABOUT THE GUESTNatalia grew up in the city of Birmingham in a single-parent home. As she started to get older she learned that she loved travelling, she went to university and responded well to that environment. After university she got a job in financial services and living her “best Sex In The City lifestyle” while still living with her family. However, this lifestyle led to weight gain which led her to do try fad diets. In her late 20s she started having difficulty eating and, while on the waiting list to be seen by the doctors, she started reading about what could be affecting her diet, but nothing seemed to help. In the end she took herself to A&E complaining of chest pains and it transpired she had a blood clot on her lung and achalasia, meaning her oesophagus wasn't working properly to move food – or even saliva – down her throat.Having hit rock bottom, she began her path into healing and mindset, eventually returning to work where she was given a promotion. However, the illness gave her a new view on life, and she realised she wasn't fulfilled, so she looked around and took up yoga training.Website - www.chai-soul.com Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Chaisouluk/ Instagram - @chaisoul | https://www.instagram.com/chaisoul/ ABOUT THE HOSTDanielle Clarke is a Brand and Marketing Consultant, University Lecturer and Business Owner.Since 2006 Danielle has provided brand design and marketing support for clients including Škoda, Gtech, UK Biocentre, UK Mail and GIRLvsCANCER Danielle is committed to helping brands that want to have a positive impact on people's lives.

SummaryAdam Parkers returns to talk about reporting for your production studio. Adam is the author of KPIs, Reporting, and Dashboards for E-commerce Photo Studios found at CreativeForce.io/kpi-guide, and we talk about how to provide robust reports, relevant context, and key insights to all stakeholders inside of the studio and out. Key TakeawaysWhen it comes to senior leadership, serve your data up on a platter. Easy to digest and only include absolutely necessary context. Also, be prepared with more detailed information when/if you get questions. The KPI guide breaks down how to tie your reports back to leadership/org goals, and trace them all the way back to where to get the data. Building your reporting this way helps you easily contextualize and understand the background. Robust data and visibility to the data are what help teams succeed. You may meet some resistance to public studio dashboards, and you should definitely hear those concerns, but this is key to high performing teams. Be humble when making assumptions about data, and ask for insight from colleagues or others with a different perspective. Links & ResourcesKPI Guide4 disciplines of executionAdam Parker on LinkedInCreditsProduced by: Creative Force - creativeforce.ioEdited by: Calvin Lanz Sound - clsound.netHosted by: Daniel Jester - danieltjester.com

CSP 17-Episode on Challenging the Norm to Effectively Tackle Anti-Social Behaviour The predicament of anti-social behaviours is not something you turn your back on. Anti-social behaviours have a huge impact not just on individuals, but also in the families and the communities. Today's episode explores the deep-rooted causes of anti-social behaviour and how Nick Buckley MBE, through the Mancunian Way, established a way to alleviate it.About Nick BuckleyNick Buckley MBE worked as youth intervention officer and as a Community Safety Coordinator with the Manchester City Council. In 2011, Nick's role was terminated due to budget cuts.He decided to take his severance pay and established a charity called the Mancunian Way which works to reduce anti-social behaviour by prevention and intervention.The charity was recognized as the Community Project of the Year last 2015.Key TakeawaysWhen you accept your flaws, you're no longer susceptible to people's judgments or opinions of you.Every action has a corresponding consequence.Children will want to please adults in terms of their behaviours and it's important to tap into that.Children need advice, guidance, and boundaries.Addressing the issue of anti-social behaviour has to be about changing behaviours and perceptions of the young people instead of just relying on entertainment.Improving the community will improve lives holistically.There's no such thing as one size fits all—every child should be given a choice especially in their education.Personal responsibility is a must.Having a good partnership is beneficial for improving lives.Time-Stamped Show Highlights[00:00:35] Getting to know our astounding guest[00:02:11] Who is Nick and what makes him commendable[00:06:32] How Nick overcame his stutter and flaws“I was always the first person to take the mickey out of me.

Your co-hosts Haley LoBosco and Brandon Tracy talk about developing a stronger level of competency when you're first starting out. You can dream and wish all you want, but we have to go in and build the competency to actually have the things we want in life and for ourselves. So many of us give up too early, like after a week, and what we need to do is practice consistent action over time to get to a level of mastery that we've always wanted to have.Key TakeawaysWhen you build competency, you build more profitability.The missing ingredient is often within yourself.You're not supposed to be good at things when you first start them, so be kind to yourself.It's your responsibility to bring intention, learning, skill, and the right mindset into the strategy.Agents that lean in and participate in their life and career every single day, they're going to reach new heights in their career.You have to continue to do it over and over again, and be open to mistakes, over a consistent amount of time to truly achieve a level of mastery.Brandon wonders if he has FOMO when it comes to learning.Show up to your potential.Why are people so afraid to learn new things or to make an effort to expand their abilities?Want to be an entrepreneur? It first starts with being comfortable with rejection.It comes back to practicing a bit of grace and understanding that good things in life take time.Courage is sitting inside of you already and it's ready for you to tap into it.Are you afraid? Write it down, write down all the fears you might be having around cold-calling, emailing a client, etc, and then go do it anyway.Cross out everything that didn't happen the way you thought it would.Our outcomes in life are consistent with our skills and what we're willing to grow into.Continue Your JourneyAuthenticagentseries.comBtgrealestate.com

Are you thinking about going on a vacation anytime soon? If so, what are the essential supplements that you travel with? Tune in as I share my own list of essential travel supplements that I can't go on vacation without.In this episode you will learn:What supplements are good for any type of digestive upsets or traveler's diarrheaWhy probiotics are essentialWhat supplements are good for better digestionWhat supplements are helpful for setting your circadian rhythm, getting better sleep and overcoming jet lagWhy you should consider bringing collagen powderThe three essential oils you should bring along with you3 Key TakeawaysWhen traveling with probiotics, make sure that what you have is shelf-stable so that it doesn't necessarily need to be kept in the fridge.Saccharomyces boulardii is not actually a bacteria but a yeast, and it's really great for IBS or traveler's diarrhea or even Crohn's.Traveling can be quite stressful, and it can also affect your sleep, which in turn is also going to affect your stress levels. So adaptogenic herbs or an adrenal complex is a must.Action Step:Stock up on these travel essentials and supplements.Activated charcoalProbioticsDigestive enzymes or digestive bittersMelatoninMagnesiumAdaptogenic herbs or an adrenal complexCollagen powderEssential oils: peppermint, lavender and frankincenseSamantha said:“There's nothing worse than going on a vacation and wanting to enjoy the sun and the food and then ending up in the bathroom for most of the week.”“When taking magnesium, your body is taking like a really big sigh of relief.”Thanks for listening!I would love to hear from you!
