Hello, Beautiful...I'm so grateful you're here with me. When life is shifting, it's easy to feel unsteady. This calming guided meditation helps you feel grounded through change, ease anxiety, and reconnect with inner peace. Let this be a soft place to land as you move through life transitions with more trust and calm. Love,

In this episode, I'm joined by Ryan McGuigan, whose life, from the outside, looked like a success. He had built a thriving business from scratch, was engaged to be married, enjoyed financial stability, and seemed to be living the life many men aspire to. But beneath the surface, something felt wrong.As the physical demands of his work took their toll and cracks began to appear in his relationship, Ryan found himself facing a reality he hadn't expected. Within a short space of time, his engagement ended, he moved into a shared house just months before turning 40, and the identity he had spent years building began to unravel.In this honest and thought-provoking conversation, Ryan shares the shame, anxiety and loss of identity that followed, how he struggled with the gap between how his life looked and how it actually felt, and the surprising discovery that helped him rebuild his confidence and sense of purpose. We explore what happens when the roles, relationships and achievements we rely on for our self-worth disappear and why many men find themselves questioning everything in midlife.In this episode we discuss:Why success on paper doesn't always lead to fulfilmentThe hidden impact of identity loss after relationship breakdownHow shame and fear can keep men stuckWhy many men struggle when life doesn't go to planThe difference between external success and internal self-worthHow guided meditation helped Ryan reconnect with what really matteredWhat he learned about purpose, confidence and starting againWhy it is never too late to redesign your lifeIf you want to find out more about Ryan and listen to a free 30-minute meditation, visit his website: https://ryanpaulmcguigan.com/. 

Imagine someone took away your business card, your LinkedIn profile, your family group text, and your to-do list.Who would be left? Don't panic. This isn't a pop quiz.It's a guided meditation.We can spend so much time collecting labels, titles, responsibilities, and roles that eventually they can start to feel like our entire identity. But what happens when one of those roles changes, or disappears or simply feels heavier than usual?This guided meditation is an opportunity to step back from all the hats you wear and reconnect with something deeper — the part of you that exists beneath every title, to-do list, accomplishment, and expectation.For the moments when you've become so busy being everything for everyone else that you've lost sight of yourself, press play.Send us Fan MailFor those who have reached out asking how to support Adrienne and her family during this time, click here to donate.

In Part 2 of this powerful conversation, Eve continues with boudoir photographer Vera Glass to explore body confidence, feminine empowerment, sensual self-expression, sexuality, and the transformative power of boudoir photography. This episode goes deeper into how boudoir can support women through divorce, motherhood, body image struggles, shame, societal expectations, and major life transitions. Vera shares how stepping in front of the camera can help women reconnect with their bodies, rebuild confidence, and begin to see themselves through the empowering lens of the female gaze. Eve and Vera also explore how boudoir becomes a tool for emotional reinvention — helping women release old identities, rediscover pleasure, and reconnect with sensuality and self-worth at every stage of life. The episode closes with a playful role play segment focused on intimacy and communication, including dirty talk, expressing desire, consent, and how to bring more openness, confidence, and erotic communication into partnered relationships. Perfect for listeners interested in boudoir photography, divorce recovery, body confidence, sensual embodiment, feminine energy, sexuality, self-love, intimacy, communication, and personal transformation.

Have you ever reached a point where everything looks successful on the outside, but deep down you know something needs to change? In this inspiring episode of The She Believed She Could™ Podcast, Allison sits down with entrepreneur, peak performance coach, and Relaunch creator Hilary DeCesare to explore what happens when life calls you into your next evolution.

Our family has gone through our fair share of big changes, which you'll hear all about in this episode, so this is something that I've spent a lot of time thinking about. Especially as a parent of a differently wired kid, I know that there are some extra challenges that might come up when their routines, environment, life circumstances, or supports change, and our kids are also more likely to be resistant to changes (even if they are beneficial). So today I'll be sharing the strategies I've personally found helpful while going through big transitions with Asher.  In this episode, I talk about key things such as why being honest when communicating with your kid is so important to help them understand and process change, how being vulnerable can be a way to show support, how to validate our kids' feelings about the changes or transitions, and how to identify their concerns so you can make plans to address them in advance. I also share about what adjustment disorder is and the kind of extra support you might need during transitions.   What You'll Learn in this Episode The benefits and growth that can come from navigating big changes as a family Why honesty is so important when communicating with your child about big changes What to share versus what not to share with your child about the transitions you go through How to validate the big emotions and thoughts that big transitions can bring up in your child The importance of doing your own work as a parent to be able to support our kids during transitions What adjustment disorder is and the extra support you might need to help your child through one How being vulnerable with your kids can be really supportive for them Identifying the concerns that our kids have and coming up with plans to address them in advance Creating new routines to create security for our kids during big transitions Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode is a gentle reflection on change, emotional transitions, and the uncomfortable truth that not everything in life stays the same. It is about making space - to feel, to reflect and perhaps, to meet ourselves a little more honestly through life's transition. Nothing stays the same ever.

Send us Fan MailNew episode of Love&BLoved Platform! #Chat with Lena: Purpose Over Fear.In this episode, I reflect on Moses' calling in Exodus 4 and how many people struggle with doubt about their ability, voice, or readiness. I explore how fear, hesitation, and insecurity can block purpose, and how peace and clarity grow when we shift our focus, as described in Philippians 4:4–9. I also invite you to consider what you may be called to, what might be holding you back, and I hope it will help you to develop steadiness and peace in your life. On today's episode, I am sharing:1.Many people hesitate to step into their calling because fear and self-doubt feel louder than purpose.2.Lasting peace develops when the mind is trained to focus on truth instead of worry.3.Real change begins when a person chooses action rather than waiting to feel ready.Glorify App (Christian Meditation & Prayer App)App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/glorify-daily-worship/id1490579192Bible Passage: Exodus 4 (Key Section + Reference)Read full chapter:https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+4&version=NIVCore moment discussed (Exodus 4:10–12, NIV):“Moses said to the Lord, ‘Pardon your servant, Lord.

How can we approach aging with more joy, empathy, and meaningful connection?We often talk about lifespan, or how long we live, but Kerry Burnight believes the more important question is how fully we live along the way.Burnight is a gerontologist, former professor of geriatric medicine, and author of Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half. Drawing from decades of experience working with older adults, she discusses why adopting a “growth aging mindset” can change the way we think about getting older, and why autonomy matters just as much as safety in conversations with aging loved ones. As she puts it, “it's not just the big moments, it's the little moments, too.”In this Quick Thinks episode of Think Fast Talk Smart, Burnight and host Matt Abrahams explore the role of listening, storytelling, and empathy in effective communication across generations. Through memorable examples and actionable advice, Burnight offers a compassionate framework for talking about — and thinking about — aging differently.Episode Reference Links:Dr. Kerry BurnightKerry's Book: JoyspanEp.176 From Stereotypes to Synergy: Communicating Across Generations Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:53) - Aging Mindsets (05:21) - Give of the Day (08:49) - Difficult Aging Conversations (19:21) - Explaining Complex Ideas (20:50) - Conclusion  ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

How do you hold on… while also learning to let go? In this episode, I sit down with author and military spouse Lindsay Swoboda to talk about the ongoing reality of navigating change throughout military life. From early marriage and career pivots to overseas moves, motherhood, and eventually military retirement, Lindsay shares what it's been like to continually reinvent herself while holding on to the parts of herself that matter most. In this conversation, we talk about: The cycle of reinvention as a military spouse Letting go of expectations while still holding onto purpose The emotional tension of grief and gratitude that exists at the same time What surrender really looks like in seasons you didn't choose Why comparison makes transition seasons even harder How to move at your own pace—even when life feels uncertain Lindsay also shares the story behind her book, Holding On and Letting Go: A Life in Motion, and how writing became a way to process the often contradictory experience of military life. Military life doesn't just ask you to let go once. It asks you to do it again and again, while still holding onto who you are becoming.

A full life isn't about the quantity of time, but the quality.Our lifespan might describe how long we live, but it doesn't say anything about how well we live. For that, Kerry Burnight says, we need a different measure: joyspan.Burnight is a gerontologist, former professor of geriatric medicine, and author of Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half. In her decades working with older adults, she noticed a gap: “I would have a lot of people who lived long lives and were in pretty darn good physical health. They were miserable.” That observation led her to dig into the research on well-being — and to find what it takes to enjoy a long life, not just endure one.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Burnight joins host Matt Abrahams to explore her joyspan framework, explaining how growth, connection, adapting, and giving contribute to a full life. From changing the conversation around aging to communicating more effectively across generations, Burnight offers practical wisdom for living better at any age.Episode Reference Links:Dr. Kerry BurnightKerry's Book: JoyspanEp.176 From Stereotypes to Synergy: Communicating Across Generations Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (03:21) - Defining Joyspan (05:28) - The Joyspan Matrix (11:04) - Learning to Adjust (11:58) - The Power of Stories (15:39) - Internalized Ageism (18:41) - The Final Three Questions (26:00) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

What do you do when life feels uncertain, and everything seems to be shifting beneath your feet?  Whether you're navigating grief, moving, changing careers, or sitting in the uncomfortable in-between of not knowing what comes next, these moments can leave you feeling untethered and desperate for clarity. In this episode, Nicole shares how Human Design can become an anchor during major life transitions. Rather than offering surface-level advice or pushing productivity at all costs, she explains how understanding your unique process can help you move through uncertainty with more trust, self-awareness, and calm. She breaks down how different energy types respond to transition, why the mind tends to spiral when we feel stuck, and how reconnecting to your design can shift you out of fear and back into alignment. Nicole also opens up about how Human Design completely changed the way she coaches clients. She shares the difference between traditional mindset-based coaching and guiding people through the lens of their own energetic process, helping people stop fighting themselves and start honoring the way they're actually designed to move through life. Plus, Nicole shares exciting details about her new Integrated Human Design Guide Certification and why she created it differently from traditional Human Design programs.

Eight hotels. Twenty-one days in New York. Sick throat. Camera cutting out. No sublet locked in.And Norense is still recording — because that's what confidence in God looks like when it stops being a concept and starts being a lifestyle.This episode is a raw, unfiltered thought dump from a hotel room in Manhattan — a real-time reminder that confidence isn't built in the comfortable moments. It's forged in the uncertain ones. Norense unpacks what it means to stay bold in who you are when everything around you is shifting, and why the moment you stop giving God thanks is the moment your confidence starts to collapse.Drawing from Romans 1, Norense reveals the dangerous connection between ingratitude and a darkened mind — and why praise isn't optional. It's protective.In this episode:Why confidence is something you hold onto — not something you throw away when obstacles comeThe Romans 1 warning: what happens to your mind when you stop giving God thanks and gloryHow nitpicking yourself into the ground is actually lowering the standard God set for how you should see yourselfWhy you're not defined by every thought that comes into your head — and what to do with the ones that try to take you downThe difference between thinking too highly of yourself and thinking too lowly — and why both are dangerousWhy trying seasons don't break you — they reveal capacity you didn't know you hadA personal inventory: sexual assault, suicidal ideation, losing loved ones, losing in sport — and why none of it disqualifies youKey Truth: "I don't know where I'm going, but I know who's with me."Key Verse: Romans 1:21 — Because that when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.If this episode hit you:Rate the Mind Bully Podcast — it helps more homes and hearts hear this message.

Life in the military is full of change. PCS moves, deployments, and leaving the service can all come with a long list of decisions and a lot of pressure to make them quickly. In those moments, even smart, disciplined people can make financial choices that quietly set them back. In this episode, I talk with Stacy Miller about why money mistakes tend to happen during life transitions and how to navigate those moments with more clarity and confidence. We get into what's really going on behind those decisions, the most common traps to watch for, and simple ways to slow down and make better choices, even when life feels overwhelming.

Welcome to this week's episode of "People in Transition". I'm your host, Bob Gerst, and today I'm joined by Gregg Lunceford, PhD, CFP®, a seasoned wealth advisor and thought leader who is redefining how we think about retirement. As a Managing Director at Mesirow and an academic researcher focused on 21st-century retirement transitions, Gregg brings a rare combination of real-world experience and deep intellectual insight to this conversation. With more than two decades of advising individuals approaching and entering retirement, his work goes far beyond finances - exploring identity, purpose, and what it truly means to thrive in life's “third age.” Gregg is also the author of "Exit from Work", where he challenges conventional thinking and opens the door to a more intentional, fulfilling vision of retirement.In this engaging and thought-provoking discussion, Gregg and I explore several important yet often overlooked aspects of retirement. We dig into why so many people struggle to feel excited about retirement - touching on the loss of structure, daily accomplishment, and social connection that work provides - and what can be done to address those challenges. Gregg introduces the idea of building a “coaching identity” and explains how it can provide continuity and purpose during this transition. We also discuss how retirement doesn't have to be a binary, all-or-nothing decision; it can be a gradual shift, working fewer days over time. Along the way, we examine the untapped sense of empowerment that retirement can offer, the importance of replacing “kinship with friendship,” and how evolving life stages - from youth to middle age to the “third age” - shape our satisfaction and happiness.This is a conversation that challenges assumptions and opens up new possibilities for anyone thinking about what comes next. Gregg offers practical insights and a refreshing perspective on how to approach retirement not as an ending, but as a beginning filled with opportunity. If you're preparing for this transition - or even just starting to think about it - this episode will give you plenty to consider.

Do You Want to Die Not Knowing? One Artist's Leap Into Art as Service and HealingHave you ever had someone ask you a question that completely changed the direction of your life? In this episode, I talk with commission artist Shawn B. Standley, whose wife asked him exactly that kind of question — and it launched him into a new chapter as a full-time artist dedicated to healing and community service.Shawn's journey is anything but a straight line — from aerospace engineering student to carpenter, Navy veteran, restaurant manager, and Alaskan wilderness dweller — before finally committing to his true calling: creating deeply personal commission art that captures people's stories, memories, and life transitions.Now based in Conway, Arkansas, Shawn is partnering with wellness organizations, end-of-life doulas, and medical institutions to bring the healing power of art to people navigating major life changes. He also oversees the urban farming and community garden program at the Faulkner County Library — proof that art and service can take many forms.In this episode we cover:(1:42) How Shawn's father discouraged him from pursuing art as a career — and how he found his way back(11:51) Dropping out of aerospace engineering school and the winding road that followed(13:17) Moving to Whidbey Island and finding his first real artistic community and mentor(16:03) Going to art school at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle — and why he left(18:11) How Alaska got under his skin and changed everything(22:07) The question his wife Shell asked that became the turning point of his artistic life(23:54) Discovering the profound emotional power of commission art and creating work that tells someone's personal story(24:40) Why Conway, Arkansas — and what surprised him about building an art practice there(28:45) Finding his why through the Artist Inc. fellowship and the Artists in Business mentorship program(32:15) Partnering with end-of-life doulas, the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences wellness program, and the Arkansas Wellness Network(37:55) His vision for combining art and healing as a full-time practiceConnect with Shawn: Website: shawnbstudios.com Social media: @shawnbstudiosConnect with me: arthealsallwoundspodcast.com | SubstackMusic by Ketsa and Lobo LocoSupport the show

In this episode of Life Stories, I sit down with Ryan Riggins, a former house flipper who made a powerful decision to change direction. After years of buying homes, often from families in difficult situations, Ryan realized the financial gain often came at someone else's loss. That realization led him to switch sides and dedicate his work to protecting families instead.Ryan now helps adult children navigate one of the most overwhelming seasons of life: managing an aging parent's transition. He shares how predatory buyers operate, why families can unknowingly lose tens of thousands of dollars, and what options truly exist when it comes to selling a home.We talk about the emotional weight of these decisions, the tension that can arise within families, and why preparation matters more than most people realize. Ryan also walks through practical strategies, red flags to watch for, and the importance of having honest conversations early—before a crisis forces quick decisions.If you are caring for aging parents, walking through a transition, or simply want to be prepared for the future, this episode offers real, practical guidance you can use.To connect with Ryan, visit https://rigginsstrategicsolutions.com/Want to be a guest on Life Stories Podcast?

What if wanting more doesn't mean you're ungrateful… but aware?In this opening episode of Meanwhile, She, Aisha Beau Frisbey shares the real story behind this new chapter—why she walked away from Re-Written, what shifted in her life, and what it actually means to start over from a place of clarity, not chaos.This isn't about reinvention for the sake of it.It's about recognizing when your life has outgrown the way you've been moving—and having the courage to meet yourself at the next level.Through honest reflection on ambition, identity, motherhood, and growth, Aisha introduces Meanwhile, She as a space for the woman in the middle of her life—the one building, evolving, and becoming in real time.If you've ever felt like your life looks good on paper but something deeper is calling you forward… this conversation is for you.Because you can be deeply grateful—and still desire more.In this episode:Why “starting over” isn't starting from scratchThe tension between gratitude and ambitionOutgrowing versions of your life that still look goodChoosing alignment before you have all the answersCreating space for honest, layered conversations

In this episode, Ashley discusses the deeper meaning behind what she calls “initiations” — periods in life where everything feels unstable, overwhelming, or out of alignment. Rather than viewing these moments as setbacks, she presents them as necessary stages of transformation. She explores how patterns in relationships, emotions, and behaviors often repeat because they are rooted in deeper conditioning, including generational and ancestral influences. Through awareness, these patterns can begin to shift, allowing for new choices and outcomes. Ashley shares a personal experience that illustrates how healing can extend beyond the individual and impact family lineage. She also reflects on the emotional challenges many people face today, particularly the rise in stress, anxiety, and disconnection, and how intentional practices can support the integration process. Key tools discussed include breathwork, hypnosis, movement, and other practices that help regulate the body and shift internal states. She emphasizes the importance of embodiment — not just understanding insights intellectually, but applying them through aligned thoughts, emotions, and actions. The episode also highlights the importance of clarity. Many people are aware of what they do not want but struggle to define what they do want. By identifying clear desires and aligning beliefs with those desires, individuals can begin to create meaningful change. This conversation invites listeners to take an active role in their growth and step into a more conscious, self-directed way of living. KEY TAKEAWAYS Challenging experiences can serve as catalysts for growth Repeating patterns often stem from deeper conditioning Awareness is essential for creating change Healing can influence both personal and generational patterns Alignment between thoughts, emotions, and actions supports transformation RESOURCES AND LINKS Website:https://formationenergetix.com/ Guided Sessions:https://iambecomingweightless.com/guided_session-page Wheel of Fulfillment:https://iambecomingweightless.com/wheeloffulfillment-page Becoming Weightless Book:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GL6J1LKQ?ref=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_T17WN5AN7W9NXR7C28EB_1&ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_T17WN5AN7W9NXR7C28EB_1&social_share=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_T17WN5AN7W9NXR7C28EB_1&bestFormat=true CONNECT WITH ASHLEY Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ashleyinspyrz/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ashleyinspyrz/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ashleyinspyrz Pinterest: https://pin.it/6ShQQcNmo Spotify Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4gmQRrQ2Ck6Y6oa3pr4fIX?si=c69079c67ee84b3e Reality Inspyrd with Ashley Inspyrz explores real conversations around consciousness, creativity, healing, and personal transformation.
