Podcasts about life beyond

From the archive, this week's episode is a conversation with author and artist Jenny Odell. Speaking about her book Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock, she challenges the social and cultural ideas that underpin standardized, mechanized time, and imagines how we might instead attune to the rhythms of the Earth and embrace interruptions that allow us to glimpse the inherent unpredictability and creativity of every moment. What choices, what futures, might become possible, she asks, if we stepped out of chronos time and towards a kairos time?

In a world that's increasingly dominated by screens, how does reducing screen time impact our mental health and our connection to the world around us? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Joan Savage, a multifaceted author and former professor, who transitioned from academia to pursue her passion for writing. She best known for her gripping murder mystery novel Red Fever, which she published after overcoming a challenging journey, supported by her community. With a background in business management and a deep commitment to mental wellness, Dr. Savage spent years researching the significant impact of virtual reality on mental health, particularly for vulnerable populations like young boys and military personnel. Together, we explore the pervasive issue of screen time and its effects on our lives. Dr. Savage shares her insights on how social media and technology can lead to feelings of isolation, and the importance of community in overcoming these challenges. She also discusses the balance between seeking validation online and forming genuine connections in a digital world. This conversation is full of meaningful insights and tips for fostering authentic relationships while reducing screen time—so you won't want to miss it! --- Listen to the podcast here: Navigating Life Beyond Screens with Dr. Joan Savage Welcome to Action's Antidotes, your antidote to the mindset that keeps you settling for less. One of my initiatives here in 2025 and something I'm trying to showcase is helping people cut down on their screen time. We've been seeing a lot more people take notice on how much of the excess time that we're spending in front of what's often referred to as attention grabbing or addictive technology is really impacting the lives we live as well as the mindsets that we adapt, so I'm going to be bringing on some guests from time to time that have their own really unique stories about how cutting down on screen time has changed their lives. Today, I would like to introduce you to Dr. Joan Savage. ---   Dr. Joan Savage, welcome to the program.   Thank you. Thank you. It's a pleasure to be here.    It's wonderful. So, Dr Savage, like myself, has a lot of different initiatives in life. I think, traditionally, we've always thought of people as their job title, or at least for maybe about 100 years in the 20th century mostly where it's like, okay, you are a broker, you are a data analyst, but we also know that, in life, people are way more than that so I want to start out by introducing you to my audience as all the different things that you're a part of right now that you have done recently and are doing.   Great. Too many things, I think.   Well, as long as it make you happy, right?   And it does, yes, you're right.   So, yeah, so you start by telling us about all the different things that you're –- yeah, all your different things.   So my –- I'll try to do things backwards chronologically. I feel like that makes a little more sense. So, right now, my full-time job, I guess, is I'm an author. So, a year ago, I released a murder mystery. It's got a little bit of eroticism in it but mostly it's a murder mystery. It's called Red Fever and it's my first attempt at fiction so that was a nightmare getting it published. I was really blessed to have just so many beautiful people in my life to speak into that and help me get that done and give me the courage to resign from my job as a professor. I was an adjunct teacher for about three years at Florida Tech and I was so, oh my gosh, that job came at such a time when everybody was looking for a remote position when COVID had hit so I have no complaints about that. Although I never wanted to be a teacher, that's just –- it fell into my lap. I knew it was what the universe was guiding me and, in COVID, everyone wanted to be home so I loved it. I took it, again, it wasn't anything that I've studied for,

"I remember sitting in the NICU thinking, ‘Am I going to lose my baby? Is this the best outcome for him? What will his life look like?' And then I realized—I wasn't alone in these thoughts. Other parents had been here before, and they found a way forward. That's when I knew we needed a community like Hope for HIE." — Betsy Pilon, Founder Hope for HIE We extend our sincere gratitude to our sponsor for this episode, Gebauer PainEase®. We are pleased to provide more information about this product, and we invite you to learn more by visiting their website. What happens when your child's birth doesn't go as planned, and you're suddenly navigating a diagnosis you never expected? For Betsy, the experience of welcoming her son Max was a crash course in resilience, advocacy, and finding a community that changed everything. In this heartfelt episode, we explore:   ✅ What HIE (Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy) is and how it affects newborns     ✅ The emotional rollercoaster of an unexpected NICU stay     ✅ How Betsy became involved with Hope for HIE and transformed it into a global support network     ✅ The power of peer support, self-advocacy, and the importance of access to resources     Whether you're a NICU parent, healthcare professional, or simply looking for an inspiring story of perseverance, this episode is for you.

"You can hear the silence emerging in the room. You can hear the sound of silence. There's a peace that comes with, a harmony that comes from it. It offers an opportunity for more sharing, more cooperation, less competition. So it's very generative." Carissa Bub   Carissa Bub and I explore the transformative power of silence in leadership and life. We dive into the paradox of silence - how it can feel awkward or even frightening, yet hold the potential for profound connection and insight. We discuss how cultivating stillness can unlock deeper awareness, relational intelligence, and a new level of courageous leadership. By tapping into stillness, leaders can listen more deeply, respond with empathy, and foster psychological safety within teams. Carissa shares her journey of embracing silence as a resource, not just as a practice but as a way of being that enhances presence, influence and authentic leadership. We also discuss the role of reflective practices, playfulness, and trusting in life's unfolding mystery.   Carissa Bub is a Leadership and Systems Coach on a mission to re-humanise organisations. With one foot firmly in the business world and the other gently planted in the earth, she enables leaders and teams to navigate complex change with dignity and agency. For 25 years, she's partnered with C-suite leaders to build stronger connections - from the boardroom to the marketplace - bringing strength and heart to strategic dialogue. As a seasoned facilitator now trained in nature-based practices, she invites her clients to take off their shoes, both physically and metaphorically, deepening their trust in life and empowering them to use their gifts for the benefit of all life. What sets Carissa apart is her unique blend of systemic coaching expertise and her background as a BBC journalist turned media trainer. She creates spaces where authentic communication catalyses real change, helping leaders develop both their inner presence and outer voice to shape lasting impact. As faculty at CRRGlobal and Six Team Conditions, she helps coaches and consultants develop their practice in systemic transformation. A TEDx speaker, Carissa challenges organisations to think differently about leadership and change, cultivating environments where people and performance naturally thrive.   Connect with Carissa: Through her website: www.carissabub.com On LinkedIn    Resources Mentioned: Conclave – an example of silence and uncertainty in leadership moments.

This is a cheeky bonus excerpt from the longer episode. To listen to the whole thing and future episodes become a member of The Pelo. You won't want to miss these exclusive chats dropping throughout the 2025 season! Sveino and I are back for another episode of the Life In The Peloton Chronicles. I absolutely love getting so sit down and catch up with my old mate for an hour or two each month, and this month's pod is a banger.  Svein's always been a guy I look up to for a whole heap of reasons. Sure, he was an absolute weapon on the bike - that goes without saying - but I've always admired the way he goes about things off the bike, too. He's a real deep thinking guy who prioritises a clean and healthy lifestyle and a deep respect for the natural world - so I handed the reins over this month to learn more about his mindset and lifestyle. I have really fond memories of racing alongside Svein back in the Greenedge days. He was a great guy to be around in the races and someone I learnt a lot from. One of the first pieces of this holistic ‘grounding' that Svein showed me and the team was making sure we all got our shoes off and got a bit of time spent barefoot on the grass to really connect with the Earth, and whenever we got the chance, we'd jump in the ocean; something else Svein is really passionate about. We talk about the importance of looking after your body whilst also respecting the natural order of things, and the impact a lot of bad modern habits can have on a person. Svein's knowledge about things like circadian rhythms, solar callouses, and more is incredible, and I always come away from chats like this with a new found motivation to live a healthier, more wholesome lifestyle. Hopefully you do, too.  This ep is really insightful, and I think we can all learn a lot from Svein. He's also just dropped his brand new book called ‘We Will Never Be Here Again', which is all about his adventures in cycling; from the wilderness to the Tour de France. It's an absolutely incredible read, and makes me think back to the crazy stories Svein would tell over the dinner table when we were away racing together. If you love listening to Svein, get yourself a copy and get stuck into it because it's absolutely loaded with some great insight into what makes Svein tick. Grab a herbal tea for this one, and listen closely. Hopefully, you come away from this one having learnt something and feeling a little bit more enlightened.  Cheers! Mitch

On the eve of NBA All Star weekend, John is joined by former pro basketball reporter Adrian Wojnarowski, whose breaking news prowess and social media savvy made him a star at ESPN and ushered in a new era in sports journalism. Having shocked the world last fall by leaving his TV job to become general manager of the hoops squad at his alma mater, St. Bonaventure University, Woj discusses how his life has changed since dropping his final "Woj bomb;" how the end of restrictions on compensation for student athletes is transforming the NCAA; and whether history will judge the Dallas Mavericks trade of Luka Doncic to the LA Lakers the dumbest deal in NBA history. Woj also recalls the time he emailed Republican Senator Josh Hawley to say “fuck you"—and reveals what he does and doesn't regret about that missive.

The podcast features a thought-provoking conversation about stepping out of our so-called "comfort zones" and recognizing them for what they truly are—often unhealthy and unfulfilling spaces. Dr. Yox emphasizes that labeling these zones as "comfortable" can lead to self-sabotage, as our minds are wired to seek safety rather than happiness. Through personal anecdotes and insights, they explore strategies for overcoming fear and embracing discomfort as a catalyst for growth. The discussion also highlights the significance of failure as a stepping stone to success, encouraging listeners to redefine their relationship with failure and to learn from their experiences. Ultimately, the episode is a powerful reminder that personal transformation begins with honesty about our circumstances and the courage to take action toward meaningful change.A thought-provoking discussion unfolds in this podcast, centered on moving beyond one's comfort zone to achieve personal and professional growth. The guest, a transformative figure in the field of personal development, shares insights from her book that challenge the traditional notion of comfort. He argues that what many label as their comfort zone is often a space of stagnation and unfulfillment. Through engaging storytelling, she illustrates how embracing discomfort can lead to significant breakthroughs in various aspects of life. The conversation emphasizes the importance of reframing failure as an opportunity for learning rather than a setback, encapsulated in the philosophy of ‘failing fast,' which encourages rapid experimentation and adaptation.Throughout the episode, listeners are invited to reflect on their definitions of failure and success as the guest shares her experiences of overcoming challenges that once seemed insurmountable. The dialogue explores the psychological barriers people create to justify remaining in their comfort zones, urging individuals to confront the discomfort accompanying change. She advocates for a proactive approach to personal growth, highlighting the necessity of taking risks and learning from the outcomes, whether they are successes or failures.The episode culminates in practical advice for listeners seeking to step outside their comfort zones. Dr. Yox encourages a mindset shift, suggesting the real danger lies in inaction and complacency. By recognizing the value in discomfort and reframing one's relationship with failure, individuals can unleash their potential and embark on transformative journeys. This rich conversation provides listeners with actionable strategies for personal development and inspires them to embrace the messiness of growth as an integral part of their life journey.Dr. Axa Yox has a master's degree in physiology, a specialty diploma in Biotechnology from the International University, PhD in microbiology with a focus on genetics.Takeaways: Comfort zones often mask unhappiness; labeling them as comfortable can sabotage our growth. Failure is not the end but a necessary step in learning and growth. Surrounding ourselves with the right people can significantly influence our success and mindset. Understanding and acknowledging our emotions is crucial in breaking unhealthy patterns in life. Our past experiences shape our current actions, often unconsciously repeating learned behaviors. Words carry power; changing our vocabulary can shift our mindset and self-perception.

From making her Broadway debut as a teenager in Spring Awakening to stepping into the iconic role of Glinda in Wicked, Alexandra Socha has experienced the highs, lows, and unexpected twists of a life in theater. In this candid and insightful conversation, she opens up about her journey, including the surreal experience of joining Spring Awakening right after the Tony wins, the hard lessons of navigating a career beyond that first big break, and what it's like to take the stage in Wicked at a time when the show is having a massive pop culture moment. Alexandra also shares her experience being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, how it reshaped her understanding of herself, and the ways neurodivergence has impacted both her personal life and her work as an actor. We talk about masking, resilience, and why she sees ADHD as both a challenge and a superpower—especially when it comes to problem-solving in rehearsals. Plus, we get into Broadway bootleg nostalgia, the balancing act of being a working parent, and why she believes having a full life outside of theater is essential for any artist.

In this episode, I'll talk about the concept of Vertical Time which I first heard about in Jenny Odell's book Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock.  As she explains, there is Horizontal Time and Vertical Time. Horizontal Time is driven by the clock as we know it. It says you need to be HERE at THIS time for the world to work. It's your 9-5 workday. It's your kid's school pick-up time. It's the daily structure of time that rules our lives. But then there is Vertical Time.  Vertical Time is open. It's uncommitted. It's unscheduled. It's not driven by the typical structure of a working day. And because it's not structured, our brains are free to wander. In this episode, I'll talk about why we need vertical time as artists and how to create more of it in your life.Check out Jenny Odell's book:Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock.Get our newsletter here:https://www.amightypractice.com/newsletter

For most people, caffeine is their first drug of choice, and a very legal one used in everything from energy drinks and coffee to products you wouldn't expect (think protein bars and over-the-counter pain relievers).That over-reliance on caffeine to provide a daily boost in energy and alertness often comes at a high cost, especially if you're addicted to it (which many people are) or metabolize it very slowly (as a majority of people do).So, if you could find a substitute to caffeine that provides some of the same benefits but without the health problems, would you try it?Paul shares his very positive experiences trading his morning espresso with butter for UPDATE, an energy drink formulated with the far gentler paraxanthine, with its formulators Daniel Solomons and Shawn Wells this week on Spirit Gym.Connect with Daniel and Shawn and the UPDATE community at their website and on social media via Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, TikTok and Instagram.

Miriam Lancewood is an adventurer, author, and modern-day nomad who chose an extraordinary path far removed from the comforts of modern life. In 2010, Miriam and her husband Peter left civilisation behind, venturing into the high mountains of New Zealand with nothing but a backpack, a bow and arrow, and a tent.  For seven years, they lived as nomads, hunting wild animals, foraging for plants, and embracing a primal existence in the wilderness. Since then, Miriam's journey has continued to evolve. Together with Peter, she has roamed the wilderness of Europe, braved personal challenges like Peter's battle with kidney failure, and settled into an off-grid cottage in Bulgaria. While Peter tends the land, Miriam embarks on solo expeditions, most recently exploring the remote regions of the Himalayas, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan. Miriam is also a celebrated author, with her international bestseller Woman in the Wilderness captivating readers across the globe. Her sequel, Wild at Heart, and her most recent release, Wilder Journeys, showcase her incredible adventures and reflections on nature connection in the modern world. Join us as Miriam shares her remarkable story of survival, resilience, and what it means to live in harmony with nature, far from the conveniences of contemporary life.

In our journey of faith, we often encounter seasons of transition and growth. This discussion reminds us of the importance of building our tribe - a community of believers who share our values and support our spiritual journey. Just as Joshua sent spies into Jericho, we too must venture into new territories, both physically and spiritually. The story of Rahab teaches us about God's redemptive power and how He can use anyone, regardless of their past, for His divine purpose. As we navigate life's challenges, let's remember that isolation can be dangerous, but intentional connection with God and others can lead to tremendous growth. We're encouraged to be authentic in our relationships, understanding that true depth comes not from the length of time we've known someone, but from shared values and experiences. How can we create spaces in our lives for meaningful connections that push us closer to God and His purpose for us? -- Connect with: Pastor Aaron Levy https://www.instagram.com/_aaronlevy/ Pastor Sammy https://www.instagram.com/samuelmrod/ Pastor Haron https://www.instagram.com/kaisaclan/ -- Don't forget to stay connected with us: Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFg Instagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/ Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter -- Have a question?

Life can be lived at varying levels, though most people are trapped in the cycles of seeking desires and avoiding fears.
