Healing is often framed through the lens of heroic breakthroughs, peak experiences, and emotional catharsis, but this episode centers a steadier path. Many modern healing trends—amplified by social media and the promise of instant transformation—can quietly deplete the body, especially for women, leading to every day burnout, long-term exhaustion, and chronic illness. Rather than bypassing the physical, we return to the essentials, recognizing that illness for modern women is often rooted in chronic stress and physiological depletion- not the lack of spiritual epiphanies or endless emotional processing.  I'm joined today by women's health expert and mineral balancing practitioner Sena Shellenberger, who brings grounded clarity to what true, lasting healing requires, helping us understand the body's intelligent responses to modern life and offering a vision of healing that is slow, nourishing, and sustainable.

What if spiritual growth didn't require more intensity—but more consistency? In this episode of Michael Easley InContext, Michael is joined by Hanna Seymour to discuss her book Everyday Spiritual Habits and the powerful idea that spiritual disciplines are meant to become reflexes, not burdens. Drawing from Scripture, spiritual formation theology, and the science of habit formation, Hanna explains how small, daily practices—what she calls “seed habits”—can lead to lasting spiritual maturity over time. Rather than chasing an idealized version of quiet times or comparing ourselves to pastors and scholars, this conversation reframes spiritual disciplines as accessible, grace-filled rhythms for real life. Together, Michael and Hanna explore prayer, Scripture, joy, gratitude, celebration, solitude, and practicing the presence of God in ordinary moments—while also addressing distractions, comparison, and the pressures of modern life. This episode offers a hopeful vision for anyone longing to walk tethered to Jesus in the middle of busy, demanding seasons.

https://teachhoops.com/ A program-building coaching call is a high-level strategic session designed to help you move beyond the "game-to-game" mentality and start thinking like an architect of a basketball culture. While tactical calls focus on the "how" of a 2-3 zone or a motion offense, a program-building call focuses on the infrastructure that supports those tactics. This includes everything from defining your program's "Core Values" to establishing a vertical integration plan with your youth and middle school feeders. By having an objective, Hall of Fame perspective look at your entire system, you can identify the structural "leaks" that are preventing you from building a sustainable, year-after-year winner in your community. During these sessions, we dive into the "Off-Court" essentials that often determine a head coach's longevity and success. This involves managing administrative relationships, navigating parent dynamics, and creating a marketing plan that builds "brand loyalty" for your team. Many coaches use these calls to audit their staff roles—ensuring that assistant coaches are being utilized effectively and that the "message" remains consistent across all levels. Whether you are taking over a struggling program or trying to push a good program to "elite" status, a structured building plan provides the roadmap necessary to maintain your focus during the mid-season grind and ensures you are making decisions that benefit the program's health three to five years down the line. Ultimately, a program-building call provides the clarity and confidence needed to lead with authority. It turns your vision into a documented "Blueprint" that you can share with your players, parents, and athletic director. This level of professional preparation sets you apart as a leader who isn't just "coaching for a season" but is "building for a decade." By utilizing the collective wisdom found on TeachHoops and these personalized mentoring sessions, you can avoid the common pitfalls that lead to coach burnout and instead create an environment where excellence is the standard and success is inevitable. A championship isn't just won on the court; it's engineered through the deliberate, strategic building of every facet of your basketball community.

Guest: Padraic Scanlan. Scanlan describes the eviction practice of de-roofing cottages and discusses the lasting biological blight and the famine's central role in Irish diaspora memory.1857 IRISH ARRIVING BOSTON

Fruit is seasonal—and so are we. This devotional begins with a simple picture of how produce changes depending on the time of year: fresh, vibrant options at a farmer’s market in spring and summer, and a different kind of supply in winter. That rhythm becomes a gentle metaphor for the spiritual life. Jesus calls us to bear fruit that lasts, but what happens when we feel like we’re in a “winter season”—spiritually dry, emotionally worn down, or stuck in a place that feels barren? John 15 reminds us that fruitfulness isn’t ultimately about our effort—it’s about abiding. Jesus is the Vine, and we are the branches. When life feels hard and hope feels thin, the temptation is to fixate on the season itself—how long it’s lasting, how painful it is, and why it won’t change. But the devotional offers a reframing: winter can actually be a time of growth beneath the surface. Just as roots grow deeper during colder months, difficult seasons can strengthen our spiritual foundation if we keep our eyes on Christ and stay connected to Him. The warning is also real: isolation is dangerous in winter. When we disconnect from God’s Word and from other believers, despair can set in, and we become more vulnerable to discouragement. That’s why community matters. The devotional encourages finding “oaks of righteousness”—faithful people who can pray with you, check in, study Scripture alongside you, and help keep you anchored when your own strength feels limited. Sometimes, when you’re struggling to hold onto the Vine, God uses others to help nourish you with encouragement and truth. The hope is this: if you continue to abide in Jesus, fruit will come again. Even if the season doesn’t change quickly, God is still tending you. The Vine-dresser cares for you, chose you, and intends for your life to bear lasting fruit—no matter what season you’re in. Main Takeaways Spiritual life has seasons; “winter” seasons can feel barren but can still be deeply formative. Fruitfulness comes from abiding in Jesus, not striving in your own strength. Winter can be a time for roots to grow deeper—strength that forms beneath the surface. Isolation makes difficult seasons harder; community provides nourishment and encouragement. God is faithful in every season and can produce lasting fruit through your life, even in suffering. Today’s Bible Verse “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.” - John 15:16, ESV Your Daily Prayer Here is a brief excerpt from today’s prayer: “Help me to abide in the Vine… May You use my life to bear lasting fruit in every season, no matter how difficult.” You can listen to the full prayer here or read the devotional at the links below.

Please Join us in supporting one of Manuel's students whose world was turned upside down this week when her father was detained by ICE. Click here for the GoFundMe. This Week: While the harm has, to a significant extent, already been done, there was an important legal victory in the fight against the white supremacist, fascist effort to destroy public education. A lawsuit brought by the AFT and others last summer resulted in a federal judge declaring the administration's attempt to outlaw “illegal discrimination” against white people, and requiring that districts and universities certify they don't practice DEI was enacted without following proper procedures. Just this month the administration declared they are dropping their appeal. This is one of numerous legal defeats the administration has suffered, however their fascist overreach continues, raising continued constitutional crises, and reinforcing the chilling effect of their racist agenda. Also, new research from scholars in New York state shows the lasting harm that ICE and DHS terrorism causes children who experience it themselves, or with a family member. Anxiety, depression, absenteeism, and chronic stress are likely just the tip of the iceberg. Thankfully a growing number of ed advocacy groups are speaking out against ICE terrorism and declaring it an existential threat to the safety of America's children and school communities.

A McGill University study found that childhood adversity combined with altered brain insulin signaling increases metabolic disease risk in women, even before clinical signs like diabetes or heart disease appear Early stress reprograms brain regions that govern reward, impulse control, and energy balance, raising visceral fat storage and disrupting insulin sensitivity decades after the original stress occurred Women with higher brain insulin signaling activity were more vulnerable to metabolic harm from childhood stress, showing greater fat gain and a higher risk for metabolic syndrome than men Stress-related metabolic disruption often remains undetected because changes like visceral fat buildup and inflammation occur below standard clinical thresholds, delaying recognition until the disease is more advanced Reducing ongoing stress, improving insulin sensitivity, limiting linoleic acid (LA) intake, restoring energy production, and supporting hormonal balance can help counteract early stress and lower long-term metabolic risk

If habit change is really about personal effort, why do so many carefully built habits quietly fall over the cliff? The answer isn't motivation and it's certainly not willpower. Bah, grit! Habit change is based instead on your environment. It's almost always based on the company you keep. Let's find out why your environment is the most important habit changing strategy of all.

Your progress mirrors the expectations around you. In today's episode, Kevin and Alan break down how the people, environments, and standards you accept quietly shape your discipline, confidence, and long-term trajectory. This conversation cuts through surface-level self-improvement and reveals why many driven people plateau despite consistent effort.You will hear how subtle influences affect identity, decision-making, and performance, and why real growth requires more than motivation. It demands precision, awareness, and intentional positioning. If you care about personal development, leadership, fitness, business, and mental resilience, this episode will challenge how you evaluate your circle, your habits, and your standards._______________________Learn more about:Track the Work.

When everything feels immediate, it pulls you into a reaction cycle that pushes real leadership work to nights and weekends.The key shift is learning to separate true emergencies from noise, setting clear decision rules for what can wait, and anchoring your day around a few priorities before the building takes over. Ending the day intentionally—rather than when everything is finished—helps break the habit of carrying work home.Lasting change comes from adjusting both structure and mindset, so leaving on time becomes part of how you lead, not something you feel guilty about.

Most leaders have a vision, a plan, and the authority to move it forward, but real momentum shows up when you understand how culture is being shaped through trust and influence behind the scenes.Host Matt Kirchner sits down with Dr. Ben Johnson, Assistant Superintendent for Secondary Schools at Bismarck Public Schools, and Bobby Dodd, Assistant Principal at May River High School, co-authors of Intentional Influence. They break down how influence really spreads inside an organization, in schools, in business, and in industry, and why the people with the most impact are often not the ones with the biggest titles.At the center of the conversation is their cultural mapping framework—making the invisible influence network visible. You'll hear how to identify formal and informal influencers, classify commitment on a five-point scale, and invest your time where it will actually shift the culture instead of just managing noise.In this episode:How to move a team from compliance to commitment—without pressure, politics, or performative buy-inWhy “trust is the currency of culture,” and how to build it in everyday leadership momentsThe cultural mapping basics: formal vs. informal leaders, a five-point commitment scale, and understanding how influence flows throughout your organizationThe difference between positional power and personal power, and why titles can create action without creating true alignment“Energy vampires” and the “pinging effect”: how attitudes spread through a team, and how strong leaders respond in a way that protects momentum3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Lasting change is a culture outcome, not a plan outcome. Compliance can produce short-term execution, but commitment is what sustains new behaviors when nobody is watching. The work is to build alignment and trust so people internalize the “why” and carry the standard forward.2. Cultural mapping helps you lead the real organization, not just the org chart. Influence runs through informal networks of credibility and relationships, and the highest-impact people often do not have the biggest titles. When you identify formal and informal influencers and where people sit on a commitment scale, you can invest your time where it will actually shift the culture.3. Influence spreads fast, so leaders have to manage energy and momentum intentionally. “Energy vampires” and the “pinging effect” are real, and unchecked negativity multiplies through the network. The goal is not to label people, but to understand what's driving resistance, address it directly, and redirect influence toward the commitments the organization is trying to build.Resources in this Episode:Get the book Intentional Influence: Harnessing Cultural Mapping to Build CommitmentMore resources on the show notes page: https://techedpodcast.com/influenceWe want to hear from you!

There is a specific kind of exhaustion that does not come from workload. It comes from living under an internal verdict. Not good enough. Not worthy. Not capable. Leaders can deliver results while quietly chasing approval from a story they accepted long before they had the awareness to question it. Because it often looks like ambition and high standards, we reward it. We call it leadership. In this episode of Reflect Forward, I sit down with Curtis McCullom, CEO of Bespoke Human Potential Coaching and a clinical hypnotherapist, to explore what actually drives behavior beneath performance. Curtis introduces his Legit Mindset framework, learning, growing, expanding, and transforming. The sequence matters. Learning reveals what is running you. Growing releases emotional charge at the root. Expanding clarifies who you are becoming. Transforming requires daily reconditioning. Transformation is not a moment. It is a practice. Key Takeaways • Most performance issues are rooted in subconscious programming, not lack of effort. • Behavior is a pattern, not an identity. • Regulating the nervous system is a leadership skill. • Responsibility restores power, not shame. • Lasting transformation requires daily repetition, not a single breakthrough. We challenge one of the most common leadership myths. Most leaders are not stuck because they lack discipline or strategy. They are stuck because an old program is still running. Behavior is not identity. You are not broken. You are running a pattern. When that distinction lands, shame falls away and responsibility returns. We also explore triggers and nervous system regulation. A trigger feels external, but it is internal information. Owning it does not excuse others. It restores agency. Responsibility is not blame. Responsibility is power. And when the body is activated, the mind is not choosing. It is executing a script. Calm the body first, then the thinking can change. Language becomes another doorway to ownership. Shifting from “I am not enough” to “I am feeling not enough” separates identity from experience and opens better questions. Not why am I like this, but what is driving this right now and how do I want to respond. This conversation is a reminder that goals alone do not create change. Goals planted in bad soil only grow more weeds. Without addressing the emotional root, leaders simply repeat patterns at a higher level. Real change comes from releasing what is running you and reinforcing what you choose daily. Mic Drop Moments • Responsibility is not blame. Responsibility is power. • If you are activated, you are not choosing. You are executing a script. • Behavior is not identity. You are not broken. You are running a pattern. • Goals planted in bad soil only grow more weeds. • Transformation is not a breakthrough moment. It is a daily practice. This episode is an invitation to stop executing old scripts and start choosing who you are becoming.

Watching an athlete feel stuck can be painful. You see how hard they are trying. You see the fear and frustration building, and you may wonder why some kids break through while others stay trapped in the same place.In this episode, I talk with Dr. Suzanne Pottratz, senior mental performance coach at PerformHappy, about what actually helps athletes move forward. Suzanne works closely with kids who struggle with fear and mental blocks, and she explains why openness is often the key to change.Athletes who make big breakthroughs usually arrive willing to try something new. Many feel desperate after trying everything else, and that willingness leads to real progress. Even athletes who start out resistant can change when trust is built and they feel understood within the gym environment.We also discuss why some kids stay stuck longer. Often, it is not the athlete. It is the environment. Pressure from parents or inflexible coaching can slow progress, even when intentions are good. Lasting confidence requires alignment between the athlete, parents, and coaches, along with helping kids develop a voice of their own.Suzanne shares her personal story of quitting gymnastics because fear became overwhelming. That experience drives her work today. Instead of forcing skills, she helps athletes rebuild trust through emotional safety, patience, and very small steps forward.A powerful theme in this episode is mindset.

I'm excited to share this special conference conversation with Kin Shriner, best known to daytime audiences as Scotty Baldwin on General Hospital and Port Charles.Recorded at the Soap Operas in Popular Culture Conference, Kin was candid, funny, and generous as he reflected on his decades in daytime television, the evolution of the genre, and the enduring connection between soap operas and their fans. From the early years of Scotty Baldwin to broader conversations about soap history, fandom, and longevity, this panel captured both the humor and the heart of daytime drama.It's a pleasure to share this conversation here in The Locher Room — one that honors the legacy of soaps through the perspective of someone who helped shape them.

Send us a textIn this episode, we explore why lasting fitness results don't come from willpower or forcing change (because that's rarely sustainable) but from inner resolution.As we move into a new year, I share how resolving inner conflict, building self-trust, and approaching movement with curiosity can completely change the way we experience fitness. I talk about why most resolutions fail, how giving yourself time and grace creates real consistency, and why skill-based goals and simplicity matter more than quick fixes.I also share personal reflections from my own journey with knee rehab, strength training, and lifestyle changes—and how reconnecting with my body led to real change.If you're ready to approach fitness in a way that feels supportive, grounded, and aligned, this episode will invite you to slow down, tune in, and begin again—without all the pressure.Join my Thrive Strong Community:https://www.skool.com/finally-thriving-community-8292/about?ref=ca0d8ae728834403a0fe44e82fda4e10Train With Me:https://www.pureenergypdx.com/Get 20% off ATG equipment with my code:  ATGSTRONGhttps://atgequipment.com/?rfsn=8680444.0222edSupport the showFollow me on Instagram:@allisonpelot_Subscribe to my YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/c/AllisonPelot

In this episode of Stop Over-Drinking and Start Living, I sit down with former client, Megan, to talk about the year it finally clicked. She first worked with me in a 6-month group container, and later committed to a full year of private coaching — the year she became alcohol-free and stayed that way. What makes her story so powerful is that the year before, she had the same goal: to go an entire year without drinking. And she didn't make it. It wasn't until she tried again the following year that it all clicked. She shares 3 things that helped her not get overwhelmed by the big goal of going alcohol-free for so long. #1 will surprise you! And 3 things that she does in the moments she has thoughts about a drink. She also shares a story of how she coped with the stress of a long day of intense interviews.. and it's not what you would think! Megan really is an example of what is possible, with dedication, never giving up despite lots of 'failures,' and consistent support! This conversation is for women who are sober curious, want to drink less, or are exploring a healthier relationship with alcohol without shame, labels, or rigid rules. If you want this type of support I'm excited to open up 3 spots to work with me privately that include a retreat at The Magic House in Lisbon, Portugal.

My fellow pro-growth/progress/abundance Up Wingers in America and around the world:Headlines abound with news of the coming nuclear renaissance — a long-awaited era of clean, abundant energy to power our future. But this is hardly the first time the media has heralded the dawn of the atomic age. Still, this round of nuclear optimism is seeing unprecedented corporate investment, more cost-effective modular reactors, and a greater sense of political consensus.Today on Faster, Please! — The Podcast, I chat with Jessica Lovering about past obstacles to growth, and what we might expect from the US going forward.Lovering is an advocate for nuclear power currently based in Sweden.

What if love isn't just a feeling to chase but a skill to train? We walk through Paul's prayer in Philippians 1:9–11 to show how love grows wiser, not thinner, under pressure. Instead of asking for easier days, Paul asks for love that “abounds in knowledge and depth of insight,” a love that can read the room, see beneath the surface, and respond with courage and care.Lasting transformation comes “through Jesus Christ,” not through pressure or willpower. As we abide, fruit shows up: patience replaces sarcasm, gentleness disarms anger, and faithfulness outlasts convenience. If you've wondered how to love wisely when life gets complicated, this message offers a roadmapSupport the showMade a decision to follow Jesus? We want to know about it!

Leadership training is rarely short on inspiration, but it's often short on impact. In this episode of Sticky From The Inside, Andy Goram is joined by Dr Jenn Yugo, Managing Director of Corvirtus and an industrial–organisational psychologist, to explore why so much leadership training fails to create lasting behaviour change. Jenn explains that the problem isn't motivation, effort, or even the quality of the training itself. It's that organisations treat behaviour change as a one-off learning event rather than a system supported by environment, habits, identity and social reinforcement. Together, Andy and Jenn unpack what the science of behaviour change actually tells us, from the forgetting curve and feedback loops, to the powerful role of values, authenticity and team involvement. This conversation challenges the idea that leaders need to “do more”, and instead reframes leadership growth as doing things differently, consistently, and together. If you've ever wondered why great leadership intentions fade once people return to the day job, this episode offers a grounded, human, and evidence-based answer. ----more---- Key Takeaways One-off learning moments aren't enough. The forgetting curve shows how quickly knowledge fades without reinforcement. Leadership training isn't a motivation problem, it's a behaviour change problem. Jenn reframes development as sustained behavioural shift, not information intake. Environment beats willpower. Feedback loops, systems and social support matter more than personal discipline. Lasting change is social, not solo. Leaders who involve their teams in their development see far greater impact over time. ----more---- Key Moments The key moments in this episode are: 01:11 – Why Leadership Training Creates Energy but Rarely Lasts 03:52 – Introducing Jenn Yugo and Her Work in Behavioural Psychology 06:20 – Moving from Academia to Business: Applying Behavioural Science at Work 09:15 – Leadership Development as a Behaviour Change Challenge 13:10 – The Science Behind Why Training Is Quickly Forgotten 16:40 – Why Leaders Blame Themselves When Change Doesn't Stick 20:05 – The Role of Environment, Feedback Loops and Daily Systems 24:10 – Values, Identity and Authenticity in Leadership Behaviour Change 28:40 – Involving Teams in Leadership Development to Reinforce Change 32:55 – Open Learning, Peer Connection and Cross-Organisational Insight 37:15 – Designing Leadership Development as a Journey, Not an Event 42:10 – Sustaining Behaviour Change Through Habits, Nudges and Measurement ----more---- Join The Conversation Find Andy Goram on LinkedIn here Listen to the Podcast on YouTube here Follow the Podcast on Instagram here Follow the Podcast on Twitter here Follow the Podcast on Facebook here Check out the Bizjuicer website here Get a free consultation with Andy here Check out the Bizjuicer blog here Download the podcast here ----more---- Useful Links Follow Dr Jenn Yugo on LinkedIn here Find the Corvirtus website here ----more---- Full Episode Transcript Get the full transcript of the episode here

In episode 221, host Galit Friedlander and guest Kim Holmes (widely respected director, choreographer, dance educator) explore the roots of house and hip-hop culture through lived experience, mentorship, and time spent inside New York City's party and club scenes before these styles became widely visible. Kim shares her journey into dance, discovering house at a young age, and learning directly with pioneers like Marjory Smarth during a formative era that shaped how she moves, teaches, and thinks about longevity. Together, Galit and Kim reflect on what it meant to come up in spaces where culture was built in real time—long before social media or conventions—and how being “the it kids” back then came with both opportunity and responsibility. The conversation also moves into technique, recovery, listening to the body, trusting timing, and how mindset and intuition quietly guide long careers in dance. Originally recorded in 2019, this episode feels especially relevant today as dancers revisit foundations, lineage, and what it truly means to sustain a life in dance beyond trends.

A cello can feel like an escape, a calling, and eventually a limb. That's how Johannes Moser describes the moment the instrument clicked for him and why, decades later, he still loves the daily work most players dread. Our conversation traces his path from messy youth concerts and amateur orchestras to major stages, revealing how real leadership grows when the horn enters early, the violas miss a cue, and the soloist still carries the story.We dig into what actually sustains a modern career: commissions that energize seasons, manuscripts that change how you read the classics, and the habit of talking with audiences as openly as you play. Johannes explains how performers like Casals and Rostropovich expanded the cello's possibilities and how today's social media era risks trading depth for dazzle. His antidote is simple and demanding—feed your inner life with books and theater, cultivate personal relationships that lead to invitations, and practice with curiosity so conviction can bloom on stage.Along the way, Johannes shares why new music keeps Dvorak and Schumann fresh, how shared ownership of premieres strengthens the repertoire, and what “productive doubt” looks like in the practice room. He also offers grounded advice for young players navigating a noisy landscape: value the people in the room over the algorithm, and let your voice—not just your velocity—set you apart. If you're hungry for a clear, human blueprint to grow artistry, connect with listeners, and build a resilient life in music, this conversation will meet you where you are and push you forward.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review so more musicians can find it.For more information on Johannes Moser: https://www.johannes-moser.com/You can also find Johannes on Instagram and Facebook: @cellistjohannesmoserIf you are looking for in person/virtual cello lessons, or orchestral repertoire audition coachings, check out www.theCelloSherpa.comFollow us on Facebook, Instagram, Threads & YouTube: @theCelloSherpaFor more information on our sponsor: www.CLEAResources.com 

This is my motivational talk for 2026. “You cannot possibly make a difference,” will be whispered into your year, shouted at your face, and felt within the deepest part of your heart this coming year. But you can make a difference for "one little starfish." For one little classroom of school children; in one little corner of the community; with your one and only family. Lasting differences are hardly ever made by some hero or heroine who shows up on a white stallion or wearing a mask and a cape. Lasting change comes through those who keep showing up, doing what they do. Nobody changes the world by setting out to change the world. Just do what you do - as good, as faithful, and as certain as you can do it. The world-changing results will take care of themselves.
