What is it like to be a woman shaping the conversation in the jam band scene? This episode, we sit down with Megan Glionna, host of HFPod, Library Card, and A Moment with Meg to talk about her journey from jam fan to podcasting powerhouse. She shares how she carved out space in a male dominated scene, the power of storytelling in music and books, and why fashion at shows is way more than just looking cute—it's self expression, confidence, and community.We also get into the realities of being the only woman in the room, navigating networking when the rules aren't the same for men and women, and the weirdness of parasocial relationships when you've spent hours talking on a mic. Plus, we manifest Megan's dream interview with Waxahatchee and chat about the importance of joy on stage, in the crowd, and in life.Whether you're a podcast junkie, a book lover, or just here for the jam band fashion discourse, this episode is for you.Listen to Megan: HFPod - Library Card - A Moment with Meg@the_megan_dance on Instagram and BlueskyStay up to date with The Femme Flock!Our WebsiteBluesky

This week's podcast episode is a guided Walking Meditation practice! The meditation itself starts just after the 5-minute mark, after a brief introduction to Walking Meditation. Walking Meditation is a traditional form of mindfulness practice, and it's a great example of meditation-in-motion! If the stillness of sitting meditation doesn't appeal to you, this might be another avenue for exploring mindfulness. This practice is often used as a type of formal meditation, but one of the special benefits of Walking Meditation is that it trains us to be aware during an ordinary, daily activity. I find that when I practice Walking Meditation more often, it seeps into other moments. I might be walking somewhere, and instead of staying lost in thought, I start feeling my feet or my breath, hearing sounds, or seeing what's around me. Those brief, spontaneous opportunities to touch into the present moment are incredibly valuable – it helps me find my composure, to feel less pulled in a million directions, or to savor a sweet moment more vividly. I also wanted to record some basic instructions for Walking Meditation because you don't really get full as-you-go guidance for this practice at in-person meditation groups and on meditation retreats. For obvious practical reasons, the teacher has to give you all the instructions upfront, then send you off to do the walking on your own. So, having a recording might be helpful to practice along with at home, especially if you are newer to this kind of meditation! All you need for this practice is some space to walk several steps in a straight line and turn around. We will be walking back and forth along that path. I recorded this practice indoors, simply walking across my yoga mat (and maybe a foot beyond). Hallways work well, too. You can also take this practice outside if you have a safe, peaceful place to walk. With some practice, your Walking Meditation can become a portable mindfulness tool that supports you throughout the day! Walking to the kitchen, walking to your car, walking to a meeting (even at normal walking speed) - you can ground yourself in the present moment while you're involved in the movements of your life. ------------- For more links and resources mentioned in this episode, find the show notes at movedtomeditate.yoga/podcast. And, you can sign up for your "Library Card" to access this month's FREE practices in the Moved To Meditate Class Library!

This week's podcast episode is a guided breath meditation for sleep. I made this recording a while back, and I felt inspired to share it on the podcast now, since the last episode was a guest interview on sleep with yoga therapist Monica Le Baron. (The meditation itself starts at approximately 5:40, after a brief intro with a few updates about my book-writing process, the schedule of upcoming podcast episodes, and some background on today's guided practice.) Many of us suffer from sleep disturbances from time to time, whether it's due to stress, hormone changes, interruptions to our schedule, pain or illness. This breath practice is one of my go-to tools for a night when I need to soothe my body back to sleep. This is a simple practice that guides you through a process of relaxing your body and lengthening your exhales. As we practice counting the breaths, we focus the mind on the present moment, setting aside thoughts of the day. Gradually moving into longer and longer exhales helps to slow the heart rate and down-regulate the nervous system, which promotes peaceful sleep. You could do this practice to wind down at any point in the evening, or right in your bed as you drift off to sleep. So, I hope you'll find a comfy spot to practice, and enjoy this guided breath meditation for sleep.

Ever wondered how a design goes from a creative's mind to the glossy pages of your favorite magazine? My superstar guest, Molly Schoeneveld, CEO of The Storied Group, pulls back the curtain on the world of design PR for an enlightening discussion on public relations within the design world. A boon for designers during the pandemic and beyond, Molly's concept of a Library Card membership for designers has revolutionized how designers can access media opportunities, breaking barriers to traditional PR approaches. As we unravel the story behind this game-changing service, you'll hear firsthand about its positive reception among designers and discover the unique ways it has streamlined the media engagement process. The devil's in the details, they say, and nowhere is this truer than in interior design. The episode peels back the layers of what it takes to capture a design story through the lens, ensuring each photograph speaks volumes about both the design and the brand. Molly and I swap insights on the art of personal branding, the shift toward authenticity in styling, and the importance of a well-captured portfolio—because an image is worth more than a thousand words when it's your work on display. Tune in as we explore the intricacies of presenting design work for public relations, celebrate the success stories birthed from community and collaboration, and the strategic moves that can propel a design from the drafting board to the dream board. From building strong client foundations to the tools that keep the business engine running smoothly, we wrap with a personal touch that reminds us why we adore what we do. Get ready to be inspired, informed, and perhaps, to see your next design project in a whole new light. Whether you're a seasoned designer or new to the scene, this discussion will arm you with the knowledge to elevate your brand and make a lasting impression in the world of design PR. In this episode, you will hear: Insights into Molly's game-changing Library Card concept Tips on aligning PR with your personal brand to craft a narrative through images The importance of authenticity in design styling How to overcome challenges with photography in design PR, including avoiding over-stylization and ensuring a variety of shots Strategies for using PR to build strong client relationships and maintain visibility in a competitive industry Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

When Andrew Carnegie started opening libraries in southwest Pennsylvania in the 1890s, he wanted to bring books and knowledge to everyone — not just those who could afford to pay. Now libraries are taking that spirit beyond the printed word, offering everything from power tools to ukuleles to genealogy databases. We're exploring the unique collections available for you to check out at local libraries. **This conversation originally published May 30, 2023.

This episode of the podcast is a gentle moving meditation, exploring what it feels like to slow down. We'll be playing with pace as we do two very simple motions, observing the sensations in the body, and how movement can often influence our mental activity and nervous system state. The meditation itself starts at 3:10, after a brief intro. As we practice this meditation, you will check in with yourself in the present moment - noticing states like tension or ease, mental busy-ness or calm, feeling rushed or steady. We'll be practicing these mindful observations in a dynamic way, while moving rather than sitting still. After taking the time to practice physically slowing down, you may find that you feel more balanced and present. Being mindful of our speed in movement can help us shift out of auto-pilot, settle the nervous system, and break the momentum of a bustling daily life. This meditation can be done either standing or seated in a chair. You can have your eyes open or close them, but if you're standing, you may find that keeping them open (with a soft gaze) helps your balance. The movement suggestions are deliberately simple, gentle, and accessible so that you can drop into a meditative experience more easily. In this practice, it is much less important to get the movement "right" than to move in a way that facilitates an experience of mindfulness and curiosity. I hope you will enjoy this moving meditation, and that it will encourage a playful awareness of your pace as you move through the rest of your day! ----- For more links and resources mentioned in this episode, find the show notes at movedtomeditate.yoga/podcast.

This week's episode is a 10-minute guided meditation designed to help you cultivate joy. To include an awareness of the good, delightful, and joyful aspects of our experience is an important practice for developing inner resilience. (The meditation itself starts at about 8:20, after a brief intro to the topic.) There is a lot going on in the world that is distressing and disturbing – and those issues do need our skillful attention. But, in order to respond with clarity and energy, it helps to balance our minds with deliberate practices like joy. Interestingly enough, the topic of joy is one that often brings up resistance or skepticism. You may be doubting how a short meditation could help you cultivate joy - like, are you expected to feel joyful on command? If you had similar thoughts come up when you saw this joy meditation, I can relate! But I can also tell you that embracing glimmers of joy (during ordinary days, and during difficult seasons of my life) has been one of the most powerful practices for my well-being and resilience. The joy I'm talking about here is not really the exquisite, incredible, postcard-worthy peak experience, but more like a practice of consistently appreciating as much good as you can find in the present moment. It's more about frequent small joys than big intense joys. And there's a cumulative effect to recognizing joy more frequently - by opening to small delights and joys more often, we train ourselves to be more receptive to the positive. To see the good and remember that wonderful things are possible...this gives us hope. Those moments of joy resource us. They are like little emotional resilience vitamins that help us stay stronger when challenges do arise. Joy can help us regenerate our capacity to be there for others, and to hold a vision of a more beautiful world that's worth working for. In this meditation, we will invoke the memory of a joyful or pleasant experience, mindfully savoring it in the present moment. Then, we will use this joyful energy to increase inner resilience, so it can become a source of deeper wellbeing. I hope this practice will bring a little lightness or possibility into your day! ----- For more links and resources mentioned in this episode, find the show notes at movedtomeditate.yoga/podcast.

Today's podcast episode continues our discussion on Mindfulness Skills, picking up from Part 1 (which was Ep. 83). This topic explores the possibilities for growth and greater freedom that come from pursuing a mindful path. And, with a combination of traditional methods and outside-the-box practices, mindfulness can be more accessible, relevant, and personalized for each of us. I'm using the term “skill” very deliberately, because skills are learnable – they are qualities or tools we can train in and develop. Mindfulness practices also have many benefits for our health and well-being, but I think of skills as being more intentional in nature. When we know what mindfulness skills are, we can develop them in all kinds of activities, from traditional meditation, to mindful movement, to hobbies, daily tasks, exercise, work, play, and more. In this episode, I cover Mindfulness Skills 10-20. (I discussed 1-9 in Episode 83, so if you missed that one, you may want to start there.) This is by no means the definitive list of mindfulness skills – you could certainly name more – but I think it's enough to point to the breadth and depth of transformation that mindfulness can bring. 20 Mindfulness Skills: Being present (present-moment awareness) Embodiment (being in your body) Steady Focus Ability to shift attention Deep Listening Intention Non-judgment (suspending interpretation) Being with emotions without getting lost in them Decreasing Reactivity Acceptance (allowing things to be as they are) Recognizing impermanence Observing thoughts and tracking thought patterns Investigation Relaxing identification with emotions and thoughts Noticing habits that create more stress or suffering Letting Go Increasing kindness, compassion, and empathy Cultivating appreciation and gratitude Developing Patience Nurturing Perseverance Each skill could truly be its own podcast episode, so here I try to introduce them (relatively briefly) with a few quotes, images, Buddhist concepts, and personal anecdotes sprinkled in to provide a sketch of the terrain. Part of what inspired this topic is that many people over the years have mentioned to me that running, or baking bread, or crocheting (or another activity) is their meditation. If you feel at all meditative while doing an activity, I hope you will build on that! Learning about mindfulness skills can help you identify what positive qualities your favorite practice is growing – and where the gaps may be. So, in this episode, I offer examples of working on mindfulness skills as you would in traditional meditation, but also in mindful movement and in a creative array of other forms. The possibilities are infinite! For more links and resources mentioned in this episode, find the show notes at movedtomeditate.yoga/podcast.

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, Dr. Kathy explores the benefits of reading aloud to children. Drawing from various research studies, she highlights the positive impact of reading on children's vocabulary, reading comprehension, and reading motivation. One study even found that parents reading to their kids as young as one to two and a half years old can predict their future language skills. Additionally, children who are regularly read to from a young age enter kindergarten with exposure to significantly more words than those who are not read to. Tune in to learn more about the importance of reading to kids and how it can shape their development.
