Are you childless after infertility, feeling stuck in the “in-between” after years of fertility treatments and IVF? Have you spent years yearning for motherhood, only to be left wondering what life looks like now? If that sounds like you, this episode was created with your heart in mind. In Episode 162 of The So Now What? Podcast, I share a deeply personal reflection that started on a seemingly ordinary Saturday. It was a day filled with movement, joy, connection, and the kind of freedom I never expected to feel in a life without children. But by the end of the night, everything changed. That moment forced me to think about what I had built and who I had become. You'll hear how that experience helped me step even more deeply into ownership of a life I never imagined living, and how you can do the same.

Noticing how we habitually lose focus in the face of boredom and frustration and finding the wherewithal to stay engaged. Teisho by Sensei John Pulleyn.  Automated Transcript The post Learning Not to Turn Away appeared first on Rochester Zen Center.

BIO: Eric Simonson is the Founder and CEO of Abundo, a financial planning firm that teaches and empowers people to take action and own their financial lives.STORY: In 2020, during the early days of COVID-19, Eric and his wife sold their home and bought a condo because they wanted to live downtown. They later sold the condo in 2023 and lost about 10% on that home purchase.LEARNING: Not all real estate investments are made equal. Focus on location and build quality. Don't expect to flip new builds into a profit immediately. Don't bet on a recovery of a big macro event. “Make sure you're confident you're gonna live in your new home long enough to recoup some of those initial buying costs.”Eric Simonson Guest profileEric Simonson is the Founder and CEO of Abundo, a financial planning firm that teaches and empowers people to take action and own their financial lives. After working as a traditional advisor for over a decade, Eric saw a need to help people who couldn't work with a traditional financial advisor since most require having a certain amount of money to invest with them first. He left his corporate job and launched a different model, one where he was only paid for giving honest advice that benefited his clients, not him. He built Abundo around a Flat Fee and Advice-Only Financial Planning model, eliminating all conflicts of interest without overcharging for professional advice and using proven low-cost investments. His firm now guides over 450 clients in all areas of their financial lives.Worst investment everIn 2020, during the early days of COVID-19, Eric and his wife sold their home and bought a condo because they wanted to live downtown. They sold the condo in 2023 and lost about 10% on that home purchase.Lessons learnedThe condo market behaves differently than the single-family home market.Downtown markets behave differently than suburban markets.Not all real estate investments are made equal. Focus on location and build quality.Don't expect to flip new builds into a profit immediately.Don't bet on a recovery of a big macro event. It's hard to guess what's going to happen.Andrew's takeawaysIt's challenging to sell secondhand condos.Actionable adviceEnsure you're confident you'll live in your new home long enough to recoup some of those initial buying costs. Don't spend more on a condo purchase than you're comfortable spending. Understand the rules around the rentability—what happens if you want to get out of it? Can you rent it out?Eric's recommendationsEric recommends checking out his company's blog for fresh content and valuable resources.No.1 goal for the next 12 monthsEric's number one goal for the next 12 months is to create the best culture and team he can make.

Whether you're considering a career shift, a new personal direction, etc., here are some tips to help you navigate the process: Self-Reflection: Before making any major changes, take time to reflect on your strengths, interests, values, and long-term goals. Understand what truly matters to you and what you want to achieve in your new direction. Set Clear Goals: Define specific and achievable goals for your new path. Having clear objectives will give you direction and motivation as you work towards your desired outcome. Research and Education: If your new course requires new skills or knowledge, invest time in researching and learning about the field. This could involve taking courses, attending workshops, or self-study. Networking: Build a network of contacts in your desired field. Connect with professionals, attend relevant events, and engage in online communities to gain insights and potential opportunities. Plan and Strategize: Create a detailed plan for your transition. Break down your goals into smaller, manageable steps. Having a structured approach can make the process less overwhelming. Manage Risks: Understand that change involves uncertainty. Assess the risks associated with your new direction and develop contingency plans to address potential challenges. Seek Guidance: Don't hesitate to seek advice from mentors, career counselors, or individuals who have successfully made similar changes. Their insights can provide valuable perspective and guidance. Embrace Flexibility: Be open to adjustments along the way. Your initial plan might need modifications as you gather new information and experiences. Practice Patience: Changing course takes time. Progress may not be linear, and setbacks are normal. Stay patient and persistent in pursuing your goals. Stay Positive: Maintain a positive mindset. I'm talking about that toxic positivity. I recognize that it's not humanly possible to be positive 100% of the time. What I am saying is this, focus on your strengths and the opportunities that lie ahead because it will help you overcome challenges and stay motivated. Embrace Failure as Learning: Not everything will go as planned. Instead of seeing failure as a roadblock, view it as an opportunity to learn and grow. Adapt and refine your approach based on the lessons you gain. Take Care of Yourself: Change can be stressful, so prioritize self-care. Maintain a healthy lifestyle, engage in activities you enjoy, and seek emotional support from friends and family. Celebrate Small Wins: Acknowledge and celebrate your achievements, no matter how small. This can boost your confidence and motivation as you progress. Stay Organized: Keep track of your tasks, deadlines, and progress. This helps you stay on top of your goals and prevents overwhelm. Visualize Success: Imagine yourself thriving in your new course of life. Visualizing success can reinforce your commitment and help you maintain focus. Yes, change is a gradual process, and it may require taking calculated risks, but you can change course at any given time.

The Lyde family is a family of giant hearts and easy, bright smiles.  Ted Lyde is the father in this family.  He's an accomplished actor and comedian, with two extraordinary kids - wildly gifted daughter Grace, about to graduate from college and Jackson, his special needs son with the brightest of the family's smiles.  Ted started his podcast, LEARNING NOT TO SWEAR, to talk to people about thriving in spite of life's curve balls and stressors, most immediately at the time in being a dad of a special needs son and how he wrestled with all the pictures of how life should be in his own “Ted” mind.  Always hilarious and inspiring, Ted is currently in the middle of a health crisis that is definitely a curve ball he wishes he didn't have to deal with.  We learn about dealing with the struggles of waiting for a new kidney and flatlining – twice – as his body struggles.  He talks about how he is dealing with all of it, and at the end we hear from his scientist wife Jaime (whom Ted always says “ruined” him with all the love she brings into his life) on how it is to support someone in this kind of a crisis, how she manages overcoming the day-to-day stressors, Ted flatlining, and keeping their beautiful family on track – and, of course, the Big Bang Theory and how it relates to Ted! When you are done listening to this check out Ted's Podcast – LEARNING NOT TO SWEAR – wherever you get your podcasts and follow him on Twitter at @learningno and on Facebook at @learningnottoswear or Ted Lyde.  Listen to the Learning Not to Swear episode he mentions “Ted Goes Flatline” here: https://tedlyde.libsyn.com/ted-goes-flatline-episode-233 If you liked THIS podcast, please subscribe, rate it, review it, tell every single human you know about it AND feel like a Superhero of Love when you do it because that's spreading some big love!

Huberman Lab Podcast Notes Key Takeaways New memories are formed through repetition or immensely positive/negative eventsEmotionality and emotion experienced after an event dictates whether you will learn it quicklyMemories are formed because of a neurochemical state (release of adrenaline, cortisol, epinephrine, norepinephrine) that takes place following an emotion – not because something evokes emotion itselfTiming of caffeine for memory and learning enhancement matters: consume caffeine immediately after or 5-15 minutes after repetitionTo optimize learning: immediately after learning, put the body into a heightened state of emotionality and alertness (e.g., caffeine, cold exposure); hours later, a nap (28-90 minutes) or non-sleep deep rest is critical for learning and memoryAnything that increases adrenaline will increase learning and memory and reduce the number of repetitions required to learn something (regardless of whether there's emotion attached)Anything that reduces epinephrine and adrenaline will impair learningChronic stress and elevation of epinephrine are detrimental to memory and learning (among many other things)Physical movement can enhance cognitive ability and ability to learn new skills – shoot for 180-200 minutes of zone 2 cardio per week and a few sessions of load-bearing exercise per weekTaking a mental snapshot (blinking and imagining you are taking a photo of something) actually stamps down visual memory almost as much as taking an actual photoMeditation can improve attention, memory, mood, and emotion regulation but timing matters! If you meditate too late, it may actually hinder sleep because you are in a calm but highly attentional stateAs always, start with behavioral tools before exploring pharmacologyRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgThis episode I explain the mechanisms by which different types of memories are established in our brain and how to leverage the amount and timing of key neurochemicals and hormones, such as adrenaline (aka epinephrine) and cortisol, to improve your learning and memory abilities. I describe multiple science-based protocols to do this, including repetition, caffeine, emotional states, deliberate cold exposure, sleep, meditation, and the role of vision, including taking “mental snapshots.” I also describe how exercise and an associated hormone, osteocalcin, can improve cognitive ability and memory formation. I also describe unique aspects and forms of memory such as photographic memory, extreme facial recognition (aka super recognition), and the phenomenon known as déjà vu.

The way that a business grows is basically what it was like for me to find my way in New York. I went from dancing with club promoters to get into clubs for free, to buying one crappy drink because that's what I could afford, to buying anything and everything I wanted once I could finally afford the city. It was a long process that took years, and our businesses also take years to level up to where we want them to be. We have to be patient, take what we can at the level we are at, invest in what we need, and eventually we are going to be where we always wanted to be. 0:19 — The Analogy to End All Analogies: How Our Businesses Are Just Like the NY Club Scene 4:25 — The Life Cycle of a Business 6:50 — Being in Free Central + How There is an Endless Source of Supplies There 8:51 — Investing in Someone to Audit What You Have, to Fill the Gaps You Encounter, and for the Next Level Up Before Getting to Your Own Internal Team 10:50 — Learning Not to Compare Your Business Journey to Someone Else's 13:15 — Hiring a Team You Can Afford (Listen to the end to get a special discount code!)

Rick Saddler is the Owner and CEO of Hit and Run Candlesticks, and he understands that trading is not as simple as it sounds. There is a significant learning curve and numerous gurus to try to sell you the 'Holy Grail.'  You must learn to become comfortable with taking small losses; it's the cost of doing business.  In this episode of How To Trade It, Rick will drop some great trading nuggets to help you on your road to success. You don't want to miss it!Subscribe to How To Trade ItYou'll want to hear this episode if you are interested in…[06:48] Transitioning to full-time trading[17:42] Learning NOT to trade just because you have an account[35:49] Trading Rooms and other resourcesFull-Time TradingTraders are sometimes driven to full-time status because they are tired of having a boss.  And while you won't have a boss, you will often work harder than when you did have a boss, so it's important to consider that before quitting your 9 to 5. You will spend a lot of time looking at charts, and honestly need to devote a considerable amount of time to education in general.     Don't Trade Simply Because You Have An Account When Rick decided to get serious about trading, there were a few things that he recognized. For starters, it wasn't going to be easy, or fast. He learned to build a watch list and then let the trades come to him. You can't trade, just for the sake of trading…or because you have six monitors!   It's important to find a system that works for you. Magic IndicatorsGuess what? They don't exist!  The “magic” happens when you learn how to use your indicators to make a profit.  You need to look at price action, or find a specific strategy that will work for you.  Ultimately, the “Holy Grail” in trading isn't an indicator, it's YOU!Resources & People Mentionedhttps://hitandruncandlesticks.com/mondays-with-rick/ (FREE resources from Rick)Doug Campbell - Options trading  Connect with Rick Saddler Website:      https://hitandruncandlesticks.com/YouTube:     https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF5xejdkAC1JeJ1UbwapzfQTwitter:       http://bit.ly/RickSaddlerTwitterFacebook:   http://bit.ly/HRCFBGroup LinkedIn:     https://www.linkedin.com/in/rick-saddler-35106b54/Subscribe to How To Trade ItDisclaimer: Trading carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors.

Ted Lyde is an accomplished actor and stand-up comedian.  He started his popular podcast Learning Not to Swear with Ted Lyde to process all his feelings about parenting, marriage, and living in a world that makes his heart hurt.  In this episode he speaks about how parents have been sold a certain brand of parenthood.  Ted's own Brady Bunch/Bonanza imbued pictures of what fatherhood should look like crashed into the wall of reality when his son was born with special needs.  That son has brought Ted to some heart-opening and heart-healing discoveries that changed him as a husband, parent, and a citizen of the world. He wishes someone had been honest with him about how gut wrenching it can be, so he lets us all know the real deal with a hilarious and heart-warming delivery. Ted is a true Superhero of Love in a constant quest to heal his own heart as well as the hearts he holds near and dear to him.  He's got a lot of love to share with you too. The interview was so full of love and Ted-isms, that it had to be broken into two parts.  This is Part 1, and  Part 2 will be released on 7/19/18.

Shawn Blanc is back on the Productivityist Podcast with Mike Vardy. On this episode, Mike and Shawn will be diving into the subject of creative focus. A father of three, Shawn has a passion for creative focus and productivity, regularly writing about these topics on his blog since 2007. In this episode, Shawn and Mike chat about Shawn's Creative Focus Online Summit, the systems and tools Shawn's employed in both work and life, his core values, and books that he's bought...but might not have necessarily read. Specific subjects Mike and Shawn tackle in this episode include: The Systems vs Tools Debate and how Shawn uses both to traverse his life (02:07). How his work values and practices relate to his family life (03:55). The concept of personal integrity and the future self, plus a simple exercise he does on The Focus Course to establish these concepts (06:07). The Blanc Media Core Values (09:53), the guidance given to him by Barrett Brooks to articulate these values, and how it ties up with his business direction (11:10). The concept of traction and how to apply this in real life...and towards reaching your goal (17:52). An article he wrote titled Learning Not to Think About It, what it meant for him, and how he does it (22:38).
