In Day 6 of Mood Mastery the Samurai Way, inspired by the calm discipline of Miyamoto Musashi, we bring everything together in a layered meditation designed to help you return to center quickly and gently. You'll combine the week's key techniques—equanimity affirmation (light + shadow), Samurai breathing for calm focus, Prithvi Mudra for clarity, and Second Chakra (Sacral) flow—into one cohesive practice you can use whenever your mood starts to swing or your mind feels pulled in too many directions. This is your "whole system" meditation: steady the breath, anchor the body, clear the mind, and soften emotional resistance—so you can respond with quiet strength and graceful balance. Leave feeling calmer, clearer, and more emotionally regulated—ready to meet life with steadiness rather than reactivity. Featured practice: Layering affirmation + Samurai breath + Prithvi Mudra + Sacral Chakra flow Best for: overstimulation, mood swings, scattered focus, emotional overload, decision fatigue Takeaway: Steadiness isn't something you find—it's something you practice and return to. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to Mastering Your Moods—a meditation series designed to help you stop feeling at the mercy of your emotions and start feeling steady, clear, and in charge of how you respond. Moods can shift fast—one message, one memory, one stressful moment—and suddenly you're anxious, irritated, heavy, or overwhelmed. In this series, you'll learn how to work with your nervous system instead of against it, using simple daily practices that help you regulate in real time—so you can come back to yourself without spiraling, snapping, or shutting down. This isn't about pretending you're fine; it's about building emotional skill: noticing what you feel, understanding what's underneath it, and shifting your state with calm, practical tools you can actually use in your real life. This is day 6 of a 7-day meditation series, "Mood Mastery: From Reactive to Regulated," episodes 3043-3049. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "Mushin (No Mind) Quest Musashi was known to advocate for the concept of mushin, or "no-mind," in combat. It involves acting without conscious thought, free from hesitation, fear, or distraction. By training himself to enter into a state of mushin during duels and battles, Musashi could maintain emotional equilibrium and react instinctively to his opponents' movements. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY Day 1: Focus Visualization Day 2: Affirmation: "I embrace both light and shadow with equanimity." Day 3: Hara Breath: Inhale deeply through the nose, allowing the belly to expand. Exhale fully through the mouth, drawing the navel towards the spine. This technique promotes relaxation, stability, and groundedness Day 4: Diamond mudra for focus Day 5: Second Chakra to flow with change Day 6: Focus Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7: Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

Pickleball Tips - 4.0 To Pro, A Pocket-Sized Pickleball Podcast
with Michael O'Neal & Mircea Morariu Winter pickleball isn't just “pickleball but colder.” The ball plays faster and harder, touch shots behave differently, and the injury risk spikes if you warm up like it's July. In this episode, Michael O'Neal and Mircea Morariu break down the practical adjustments that help you stay loose, keep the ball in, and win more points when temperatures drop. Why staying warm directly reduces mistakes and injury risk Hands are everything: glove vs no glove, grip tweaks, and maintaining dexterity Layering that works for movement: base layer (compression or Under Armour style) insulation (fleece) optional shell for wind the underrated puffy vest for pickleball Hats and headbands for heat retention Why your warm-up should be 2–3x longer in cold weather Off-court warmups: bike, jumping jacks, jump rope On-court dynamic warmups: lateral shuffles, staying low Keeping blood flowing between points (the “bounce” habit used by top pros) Why cold weather injuries are more common—especially over age 40 Plastic stiffens → ball feels harder Less dwell time → less spin and control Ball flies faster with less resistance Bounce becomes less predictable Expect balls to crack more (especially outdoor balls like Dura and Franklin X-40) Shorten your backswing More compact strokes Choke up on the paddle for better touch Expect weird timing on volleys, dinks, and resets Use safer, more consistent drop mechanics Drives often beat drops in cold weather Pressure creates more popups than usual Attack knees, thighs, body more than perfect feet Shorter points favor aggressive modern players Reduce sidelines by 15–20% — aim bigger, safer targets Consider standing slightly off the kitchen line for reaction time Hot paddles become even hotter in the cold Softer control paddles can be easier to manage Consider keeping a “winter paddle” in your bag Hand warmers (QB-style) can be a real advantage Stop trying to play “summer pickleball” in winter Expect your touch to feel off Simplify everything Play higher margin shots Give yourself grace — conditions matter Cold weather still dehydrates you Lower blood volume = higher injury risk Hydration keeps tissues elastic and responsive Expect balls to crack more → bring extras Warm up longer, stay warm between points Shorten your swing, reduce power Less spin, more popups Drives and pressure outperform patient grinding Improve margins, aim safer Keep hands warm Hydrate like it's summer Shorter points usually win Cold weather favors players who: simplify stay aggressive warm up properly and adapt instead of fighting conditions Winter pickleball isn't worse — it's just different. And if you adjust, it can absolutely become an edge. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode of the By Any Means Coaches Podcast, we sit down with Rikki Broadmore, head coach at Barking Abbey Academy and one of the most respected youth development coaches in the UK. Rikki breaks down how he designs principles of play around personnel, why efficiency metrics matter more than systems, and how Barking Abbey reverse-engineers the modern game to prepare players for college, professional, and international basketball. The conversation offers a deep look into how winning, development, and long-term athlete preparation can coexist when the process is clear.The discussion also dives into practice design, decision-making under constraints, defensive layering, and the importance of environment over drills.

The new year always brings a wave of home decor trends — but 2026 is shaping up to be less about what's “in” and more about how our homes feel. In this episode, I'm breaking down the top 10 home decor and interior design trends for 2026 that designers across the industry are consistently predicting. These aren't fads — they're thoughtful shifts toward comfort, intention, sustainability, and homes that support real life. If you're decorating, redecorating, or simply craving a home that feels more cohesive and cozy, this episode will help you understand what's coming next — and how to use trends without letting them overwhelm you. In this episode, we cover: Using texture as a foundational design element Why layered textures — from textiles to finishes — are becoming essential in 2026 interior design and how they instantly make a home feel warmer and more lived-in. Honoring heritage and personal history in home decor The return of meaningful pieces, vintage finds, heirlooms, and decor that tells a story instead of following fast trends. Biophilic design and bringing nature indoors How plants, natural light, organic materials, and nature-inspired design are shaping healthier, calmer homes. Layering as a core decorating principle From rugs to lighting to accessories, designers are emphasizing depth, dimension, and thoughtful layering over minimalism. Color drenching and monochromatic color stories Why single-color rooms and tonal palettes are trending in 2026 — and how they create cohesion without feeling boring. Warm, earthy color palettes replacing cool neutrals Think clay, camel, olive, brown, mushroom, and soft terracotta — colors that ground a space and make it feel welcoming. The renewed focus on form and function Furniture and decor that look beautiful but also work hard for everyday living are a major priority in 2026 home design. Sustainable luxury and conscious decorating choices Fewer pieces, better quality, eco-conscious materials, and thoughtful purchasing decisions that balance beauty and responsibility. The return of cozy textures like faux fur Designers are embracing warmth and softness through faux fur accents, plush textiles, and tactile comfort. An emphasis on irregularity, imperfection, and organic shapes Why homes are moving away from symmetry and perfection — and embracing character, patina, and uniqueness.
A lesson from art is a great driver in life!
We're excited to welcome husband-and-wife design duo Heather and Matt French to the show. Based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, their firm, French & French Interiors, is known for creating luxurious yet livable spaces that are rich in color, pattern, and storytelling. Heather and Matt join Caroline and Liz to discuss their unique journey from careers in natural medicine and building to becoming interior designers. They share how they blend their Southern roots with the distinct architecture of the American Southwest, why they believe in "softening" a harsh landscape with cozy florals, and how they turned their own home into a "designer lab." Quick Decorating Takeaways: Find Your "Keystone" Fabric: Heather anchors her elaborate color palettes with a single multi-colored "keystone" fabric that serves as a roadmap for the entire design scheme. Create a Respite from the Environment: Rather than mimicking harsh outdoor landscapes, Heather and Matt recommend using soft florals and wallpapers to create a cozy indoor respite. Study the Masters: Matt emphasizes that studying design history and legends like Sister Parish can be just as valuable as a formal degree for developing a great eye.

Ever wondered why everyone's suddenly talking about layering their favourite scents? In this special year-end episode, Karen dives into the layered world of fragrance - examining the trend that's gone from perfume-enthusiast secret to must-try for, indie creators, everyday scent lovers and brands. Discover how scent layering is shaking up traditions, what it means for your personal perfume wardrobe, and why this mix-and-match approach is more than just a passing fad. KEY TAKEAWAYS Scent layering isn't a passing fad, it's transforming how we wear perfume, from “one signature scent” to full fragrance wardrobes. This new layering culture is about ownership: making scents personal, playful, and aligned with who you are, not what a brand tells you to wear. TikTok and social media have blown layering wide open, but not every “hack” is safe or even smells good. Mixing random perfumes together can lead to skin issues. Purpose-made layering scents are safer and smarter. They are building blocks that home users can combine to create their own unique scents. Being a scent minimalist can make layering easier. A small, well-chosen collection often works better than shelves of half-loved bottles. Sustainability, biotech, wellness, healing, and ritual will all play bigger roles in the future of fragrance. AI and online tools can inspire ideas, but they can't yet replace real perfumery skills or safety knowledge. Take the time to stay up to date with this and other tech. BEST MOMENTS “There's some interesting stuff going on with how people relate to scent now, as opposed to how they used to five, ten years ago.” “There are companies that create, I suppose, what you would call a cord - simple fragrances that they actually actively sell as being able to be combined together.” “It's about fragrance becoming something that people participate in, like cooking or mixology, rather than something that they are relying on an expert to tell them what to buy.” EPISODE RESOURCES In Person Classes: https://www.karengilbert.co.uk/studio-classes EPC layering sets - https://experimentalperfumeclub.com/pages/perfume-creation-sets VALUABLE RESOURCES Getting Started Guide: https://www.karengilbert.co.uk/podcast-getting-started-guide Artisan Perfumery Mastermind: https://www.karengilbert.co.uk/artisan-perfumery-mastermind Website: https://www.karengilbert.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Fragrance expert, author, teacher, and speaker; Karen Gilbert runs courses in the UK and online which demystify the secretive world of perfumery in a fun and interactive way.

About the Episode On this episode, I speak to Tim Herbig, long-time product management coach, speaker, and author of the new book "Real Progress". Tim has worked with companies like StepStone, Chrono24, Deutsche Telekom and Specsavers, and has spent years helping product managers stop hiding behind frameworks and start making a meaningful impact. His work focuses on helping teams connect product strategy, OKRs and discovery without falling into the trap of rigid process correctness. Episode highlights: Alibi Progress vs Real Progress - how teams hide behind "the right way" of doing things, obsessing over methods and templates instead of asking whether any of it actually works The Progress Wheel - Tim's diagnostic loop that ties strategy, OKRs and discovery together so teams can see where they're actually stuck and what to do next The three attributes of good product strategy: Decisiveness, Layering and Executability How to handle OKRs when leadership gives you metrics you can't influence using zones of control and contribution How to sell discovery to sceptical stakeholders - by framing it as "protecting the company's investment", not a fluffy UX ritual Reverse-mapping discovery when you're handed a solution - even if you have to build it, work backwards to define the outcome Why frameworks should be starting points, not destinations - and why Tim would be disappointed if anyone adopted his wheel dogmatically ... And much more.

Send us a textLooking for real-world preparedness you can actually afford and use? Keith opens the mailbag and tackles the questions many of us are quietly asking: how to meet other preppers without sounding preachy, how to nudge family toward practical readiness, and how to keep your home warm without risky heaters or sky‑high bills. The throughline is simple and powerful—quiet, steady steps beat flashy gear every time.We start with people. Keith shares smart places to connect with like‑minded folks—camping groups, hiking clubs, garden clubs, and local ranges—plus how to use small, helpful prompts to bring friends into the fold. Online spaces can help too, if you filter for signal over noise. From there we turn to winter: sealing drafts, adding weather stripping, and using window film to stop heat loss before you add more heat. Layering tactics, wool blankets, hot water bottles, and safe hand warmers round out a plan that favors prevention over risk.Small-space living gets its own playbook. Learn apartment-friendly storage tactics using vertical bins, closet dead zones, and simple camouflage so your supplies stay out of sight and out of mind. Then build a budget bug out bag from thrift stores and dollar aisles: a neutral backpack, water and treatment, compact calories, first aid basics, a poncho, socks, a multi-tool, and a reliable flashlight. Keith explains why low-key gear can keep you safer than a tactical look that draws attention, and why patience—plus a short checklist—beats impulse buys.

A lively roundtable on the big question: can curation be art? We compare collection-building to composing music—layers, sequencing, and narrative—plus mixtapes/DJ sampling, museum installation, and how display choices (binders, walls, set runs) create meaning. We draw a line between accumulation and authorship: intent, coherence, and communication turn a pile of cards into a personal statement. Along the way: eye appeal vs grade, why some sets read like albums, and how a collection can transparently reflect identity—even if you don't call yourself an “artist.” We finish with chat takes and a palate-cleanser lightning round: GOAT Halloween candy (Rockets/Smarties, Twix, Reese's, KitKat, Nerds Candy Corn, and more). Highlights Curation vs creation: When selection, sequencing, and presentation become authorship Music parallels: Layering, sampling, mixtapes, and “binder as album” storytelling Aesthetic judgment: Eye appeal over label; why some 9s beat 10s Display matters: Frames, binders, themed runs—the message is the medium Community voices: Chat pushes back and builds on the “art or acquisition?” spectrum Sign-off: Next streams, Expo schedule note, and the time-change reminder If you're into deep-dive hobby conversations, subscribe to Sports Cards Live and tap the

Whether you live in a climate that allows for a veery long growing season or you're like me and need to cram as much growing into a shorter season as possible, cloning is a shortcut to making the most of our best plants. In some cases it even makes sense to overwinter some of those plants so next season starts off weeks ahead of schedule.So, today on Just Grow Something, we're talking about the importance of cloning plants as a strategic shortcut to enhance gardening productivity. I'll explain the key differences between cloning and seed saving, and the various methods of cloning, including water propagation and the use of rooting hormones, and the layering method. We'll also talk about how to overwinter plants effectively and which ones are worth the effort, troubleshooting common issues, and the best practices for maintaining plant health during the winter months. Let's dig in!Key Takeaways:Cloning allows gardeners to replicate successful plants for the next season.Seed saving can lead to genetic reshuffling, while cloning preserves the exact traits of a plant.Water propagation is an easy method for cloning many herbaceous plants.Rooting hormones can significantly improve the success rate of cloning woody plants.Layering is a method that allows plants to root while still attached to the parent plant.Overwintering can help maintain productive plants for early spring planting.Different plants require different care when overwintering, including light and temperature adjustmentsResources:Download my free cloning guide at https://justgrowsomethingpodcast.com/clone
