In this episode, the angels invite us to “unpack the suitcase” and clear what weighs us down. They highlight two truths: 1) Releasing old burdens frees our energy, and 2) Keeping only what supports us strengthens our path. This matters because carrying emotional baggage blocks clarity, joy, and spiritual momentum. The angels guide us toward lightness, renewal, and deeper inner peace.What if your guides for the guided meditation had no idea where Spirit was going to be leading them?

In this podcast episode, fangirl Jillian and her husband Tyler recap Maxton Hall Season 2 Episode 5 “Deceptive Lightness" - the most dramatic episode yet! From Mortimer's explosive return and the shocking phone reveal to Ruby's Oxford dreams being threatened, this episode is packed with twists, romance, and our favorite themed event yet. We unpack James' family chaos, Percy's backstory hints, the scholarship fallout, and the magical Midsummer Night's Dream party.Buy our merch: ⁠https://www.etsy.com/shop/PreviouslyOnTeenTV⁠Follow Previously On Teen TV on Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/previouslyon_teentv/Follow Previously On Teen TV on TikTok: ⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@previouslyon_teentv⁠⁠Subscribe to our YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe2lgvvZGKMrQ8v24FmDdWQ?sub_confirmation=1⁠

This episode explores how a horse's lightness can quietly fade long after the "preschool" stage—and how that process often begins in the smallest, most overlooked moments of handling. Using Baby Whisper's first haltering lessons as a lens, Stacy shows how early experiences with pressure and release shape a horse's lifelong feel, and how similar patterns appear in mature horses that have learned to lean or resist. Key takeaways: – Lightness isn't something added later—it's created, or lost, from the very first moments of contact – Horses become heavy when we stop noticing where release actually happens – Even two pounds of unnoticed pressure on a lead rope can reshape a horse's expectations – True refinement begins by returning to the body, not the halter This episode examines how lightness develops—and how it disappears—through the rider's timing, awareness, and feel. Whether you're leading, riding, or refining, it reveals why every conversation with your horse begins with how you release.

Feeling pulled between structure and creativity? Logic and compassion? Involvement and detachment? Serious and Lightness? In this episode, ICF Master Certified Coach Jayshree Kirtane offers a vivid metaphor - orange flames and purple flowers - to reframe these tensions as complementary forces rather than either-or choices. We dive into exploring how we as coaches can support our clients or people to integrate polarities in a way that aligns with their truth. This conversation shares how integration can unlock wiser decisions, create deeper impact, and more joyful lives.

Today's short reflection focuses on Lightness — finding ease in the middle of life's weight.Take a moment to breathe, soften, and remind yourself: you don't have to carry it all. For the full 10-minute guided version, join the supporters on Spreaker or Patreon:

I dive into Pinnacle Frequency — the art of starting at the ultimate vision rather than climbing to it step by step. Most people approach their goals linearly, believing the pinnacle is the reward at the end of effort. But when you operate from the Pinnacle from the start, joy, synchronicity, and high-frequency manifestation flow naturally.We explore the spiritual mechanics behind Lightness of Being, the Black Hole of Becoming, and the journey to $10M Consciousness — where authenticity dissolves masks, opens the heart, and aligns your nervous system to quantum-level creation. I share personal stories of effortless manifestations, the role of coherence in the biofield, and how generosity, community, and enthusiasm amplify the frequency of wealth.Whether you're looking to expand your manifestation capacity, understand the energetics of high-level money, or activate the joy of creation, this episode offers a field-aligned transmission for women ready to quantum leap beyond the linear path.Key Takeaways:Why the Pinnacle is not the destination, but the starting point for manifestation.How operating from the Pinnacle invokes synchronicity and accelerates results.The concept of the Black Hole of Becoming and why collapse precedes lightness.Understanding Lightness of Being as coherence of frequency, nervous system, and heart.How authenticity dissolves the mask and frees creative energy.The energetics of $10M consciousness: safety, generosity, and effortless manifestation.The role of enthusiasm and community in attracting abundance and alignment.Who this episode is for:Women breaking through $1M+, ready to embody the frequency of $10M+, dissolve limiting patterns, and step fully into their Pinnacle vision.Resources & Links:Learn more about working with me at the Crystalline Mastermind for women moving to $10M+ consciousness.Follow me on jessfenton.substack.com for ongoing insights on high-frequency manifestation.www.goinward.co.ukwww.instagram.com/goinwardjess@goinward.co.uk

Velo Senior Tech Editor Josh Ross has been testing the second-generation Aethos and explains what's changed and how it performs out on the road.

Welcome back to another episode of the Pelvic Power Podcast!Healing doesn't always move in a straight line. In this episode, I share my own vulnerable story of emotions bubbling up in class, and why allowing yourself to feel can be just as important as movement and breath. You'll learn how to find lightness even on the hard days, and why small, gentle steps still count as progress.Healing isn't linear: 2 steps forward, 1 step back is still progressHow emotions like laughter and tears shift energy in the bodyThe importance of not apologizing for your emotionsSimple daily practices that support pelvic pain reliefRomanticizing healing + introducing the October Pelvic Relief Bingo Card... and so much more!Download your free October Pelvic Relief Bingo Card and start making pelvic healing a little more cozy—and a lot more doable.Enjoy this episode

I discuss with Sandra and Brendon about the emotional side of networks. Why are networks so emotional? What moments can they remember that were especially emotional to them? We start talking about the Fito Networks manifesto and how it grounded in emotion and we journey through their "careers" as networks weavers in different parts of the world. To me it was especially interesting to hear about how these two aspects intersect, heaviness and lightness and what strategies they use for their work to be able to stay and work in networks on the long term. This was recorded live during the Networks Festival.

Welcome back to another episode of the Pelvic Power Podcast!Sometimes life feels heavier than we ever expected — grief, heartbreak, or simply the weight of being human. In this episode, I share how I've been moving through a tender season and the gentle practices that have supported me along the way:Navigating grief and heartbreak with honesty and compassionWhy showing up “as you are” can be powerful (even when it's messy)The small shifts that helped me find lightness The role of therapy, yoga, and breath in holding space for difficult feelingsA reminder that you don't need to rush your healing — tiny steps forward are enoughThis episode is your invitation to soften, slow down, and find your own small steps toward lightness.Enjoy

In this episode, I chat with the founder and managing director of WOW Saddles: David Kempsell. WoW is a revolutionary saddle brand known for its fully adjustable, modular design that supports both horse and rider through every stage of development and performance. We dive into the inspiration behind WoW, the technology that sets it apart (like carbon fiber trees, Flair air flocking, and interchangeable seats and panels) and how this system helps improve comfort, movement, and balance. I've personally ridden in WOW Saddles for over 10 years and have always appreciated their adjustability, comfort, and unique look. Saddle fit is such a personal and important part of horse welfare, and when you find something that works, it's a huge relief. This episode isn't sponsored, I simply love talking about things I genuinely use and believe in. If you're curious about saddle fitting, have a tricky horse to fit, or are tired of trialling saddles that never quite work, you'll enjoy this conversation!  

In this episode of the Horsemanship Breakthroughs Podcast, I chat with Jen Clingly & Jeremy Ford from Wild About Hooves! Jeremy, a former traditional farrier turned barefoot trimmer, and Jen, a record-breaking barefoot endurance rider, are a powerhouse duo changing the way we think about hoof care. Friendly, humble, and incredibly knowledgeable, Jen & Jeremy share their journey, why they went barefoot, and how wild brumbies inspired a better way to support sound, healthy horses without shoes. If you've ever questioned whether metal shoes are necessary or wondered how to support healthier, more natural hooves, or maybe you'd like to become a trimmer yourself, this is a must-listen! _____

Okay y'all… I am really freaking excited for the energy this week. It feels like deep integration energy. Like, at first glance, it might just feel like business as usual—you're trucking along, handling stuff, gaining awareness in tiny little ways. But those micro shifts? They're leading somewhere.This week feels like the kind of week where you're making subtle tweaks to how you think, how you relate, how you operate—and then boom: something clicks. A pivot. A huge breakthrough. A completely new way of seeing or doing something. And what's wild is that it doesn't even have to be loud. It could just be a quiet but powerful “oh s**t, that's it” kind of moment.I've got a special gift for my paid subscribers at the bottom of this post—exclusive ChatGPT prompts tailored to this week's astrology. Just plug in your rising sign to get personalized guidance on how to navigate the current energies based on your birth chart.

“Feel is knowing what to do, timing is knowing when to do it” ~ Elsa Sinclair   In this episode of The Horsemanship Breakthroughs Podcast, I am joined by Elsa Sinclair- the creator of Taming Wild & Freedom Based Training.    Elsa comes from a family of horse trainers she has had a meandering journey through many different styles of horsemanship until she stumbled on a question that needed exploration. What if horses were given a choice? Would they let us ride them? Without force or tools to control and without bribes to lure them?   

In the latest episode of The Horsemanship Breakthroughs Podcast, I am joined by Olivia Kelly (Towers) @towers432, who shares her incredible story of being a successful professional Grand Prix Dressage Rider to finding the world of horsemanship and biomechanics.

A huge turning point - that lead to a mental breakdown and agoraphobia and how she overcame it. Becoming a mum and how that influenced her as a person and a rider. Mum guilt and how it affects her Changes she'd like to see in equestrian sports What she's studying now and her personal horse goals going forwards Plus so much more!

We meet artist Chris Levine, a British contemporary artist renowned for his pioneering work with light and lasers. His innovative approach transcends traditional mediums, integrating technology and spirituality to create immersive art installations that challenge and expand human perception. Levine's multidisciplinary practice encompasses installation, photography, performance, fashion, music, and design. He employs lasers and sound frequencies to craft environments that engage viewers on both sensory and contemplative levels. This synthesis of technology and art positions Levine's work within a broader historical context, aligning with movements that seek to transcend the physical and delve into the metaphysical.A seminal piece in Levine's portfolio is "Lightness of Being" (2004), a holographic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This work has been lauded for its spiritual depth and technical mastery, with the National Portrait Gallery describing it as "the most evocative image of a royal by any artist." The portrait captures the ethereal quality of light and presence, reflecting Levine's ability to merge artistic expression with technological innovation. Beyond portraiture, Levine has engaged in numerous projects that bridge various artistic disciplines. In 2012, the artist partnered with Anohni and the Johnsons for their "Swanlight" performance at Radio City Music Hall, commissioned by the MoMA, New York, integrating laser with musical performance and creating a multisensory experience. Levine's site-specific large scale installations have pushed the boundaries of light art, taking diverse settings from the historic Durham Cathedral to the contemporary landscape of Hobart, Tasmania. Aligned with the traditions of public art inspiring communities, Levine's works make immersive art accessible to broader audiences. In 2021, Levine's exhibition at Houghton Hall, 528 Hz Love Frequency, featured "Molecule of Light," a monumental 25-meter-high sculpture that transformed the landscape and cemented his innovative approach to light art. This installation not only showcased the artist's technical prowess but also his ability to harmonize art with architectural space, creating a dialogue between the artwork and its environment. Through his multidisciplinary practice, Levine continues to explore the infinite possibilities of light in art, contributing to the ongoing dialogue on the intersection of technology, spirituality, and visual expression.

If you've been following Shelby Dennis (aka Milestone Equestrian / @sdeques on social media), you know she doesn't shy away from the hard conversations. She's a passionate advocate for horse welfare, uncovering the harsh realities of the horse industry, and pushing for real change. Shelby is a professional horse trainer and equine behavior consultant with over 24 years of experience across multiple disciplines—including Arabian showing, hunter/jumpers, dressage, and even racehorses. She's also taken her education seriously, working toward her Certificate of Equine Science and earning her Equine Behavior Consultant certification through IAABC. Her approach to training has evolved massively over the years, moving away from traditional punishment-based methods toward a more ethical, science-backed way of working with horses. She's an incredible voice in the equestrian space, and I have so much admiration for the work she's doing! In this episode, we dive into:

In this episode of The Horsemanship Breakthroughs Podcast, I'm joined by the incredible Kelly de Geus: an amazing horsewoman known for her ability to train horses the piaffe in a light, soft, willing, biomechanically correct way. Kelly de Geus is a dedicated horse trainer and coach from the Netherlands, who has been captivated by horses for as long as she can remember. For over a decade, Kelly's main focus has been on training horses herself, developing a specialty in teaching horses to piaffe and passage in hand. This is always a result of optimal communication and body use, and never a quick fix or trick. Having trained over 1000 horses in hand, Kelly now primarily focuses on sharing the knowledge she gained by doing so, thereby helping more people (and, in turn, more horses) feel better, improve posture and optimise performance.   I first reached out to Kelly for online lessons years ago after being mesmerised by how light and happy her horses looked in the piaffe. At the time, she didn't have online resources, but she agreed to help me through online lessons and I was blown away by her approach. She taught me that that piaffe is reflection of correct basics, and that there are a sequence of things that need to be in place before the piaffe is possible. Her values in training horses align closely to my own so I am so happy to share her voice with the horse world.   In this episode, we cover: ✨ The true purpose of piaffe as a diagnostic and gymnastic exercise (it's more than just fancy footwork and it's not a ‘circus trick'!) ✨The importance of conncection, communication, & biomechanics ✨ Common mistakes & how to know if your horse is ready to start training the piaffe ✨ The groundwork that sets the foundation for collection ✨ Adjusting her training approach to different horses  ✨The role of positive reinforcement in her training ✨Plus so much more! If you've ever dreamed of training the piaffe, this is THE episode for you!

Hey everyone! I'm so excited to share episode196, all about how to lighten things up, whether you're preparing for a mission, currently serving, or a returned missionary. As I was recording this, I couldn't help but feel the change in the seasons and the energy that comes with spring. The buds on the trees, the longer days - it just puts me in such a joyful mood. I know it can be so easy to get bogged down and take everything so seriously, whether it's our goals, our relationships, or even our missionary work. But I truly believe we can find ways to bring more levity and celebration into our lives. Things like changing up our routines, being present in the moment, and not taking ourselves too seriously can make a world of difference. And of course, remembering that Jesus Christ is the light and can bring that lightness to even our darkest times. So I hope you'll join me in embracing the joy and novelty of this season. Let's find ways to be a little more silly, a little more playful, and a whole lot lighter. I can't wait to hear how you're going to lighten things up in your own life! As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did.
