Podcasts about making changes

This administration is unhinged - a government ignoring the constitution, defying the courts, literally disappearing people off the streets? Every day they seem more brazen, more illiberal, more unlawful, and yet, when we see the tide turning on people like Pete Hegseth or the hesitation to just blindly invoke the insurrection act, we see that public pressure still works. So, today, instead of talking about the news, or having a conversation with one of the fabulous organizations working to save us - we're going to talk about saving ourselves. Join me and award-winning thought leader and best selling author Alencia Johnson as we discuss the her new book: Flip the Tables: The Everyday Disruptor's Guide to Finding Courage and Making Change because, God knows, that's what we need to do now.

In this episode, I'm exploring the sacred process of change—through the lens of yin and yang, action and stillness, doing and being. We're conditioned to believe that transformation has to be fast, loud, and driven. But true change? It often begins in stillness. It emerges when we slow down, listen within, and choose from clarity instead of fear. I share insights from my own healing and coaching path around how we relate to change, how cultural pressure can hijack our decision-making, and how feminine energy—when honored—offers a deeply intuitive way forward. This episode is a reminder that it's safe to pause. It's powerful to rest. And it's wise to wait for right alignment before taking action.

In this powerful episode of I Am Refocused Radio, we sit down with Congresswoman Marie Newman—former U.S. Representative, movement-builder, and author of the upcoming memoir A Life Made From Scratch.

If you've ever wondered how real change gets made—or how to keep pushing forward when the system pushes back—this episode is for you.Congresswoman Marie Newman is a trailblazing former U.S. Representative, nonprofit CEO, marketing executive, author, and nationally recognized advocate for equity and justice. She is the author of When Your Child Is Being Bullied: Real Solutions and the forthcoming memoir A Life Made From Scratch (March 2025), which chronicles her journey from mompreneur and activist to Congress and beyond.Known for building movements and tackling the nation's toughest problems, Newman has been a fierce advocate for healthcare reform, anti-bullying policy, LGBTQ+ rights, gun safety, reproductive freedom, and economic equity. A former spokesperson for Moms Demand Action and a nationally recognized LGBTQ+ ally, she has dedicated her career to ensuring marginalized voices are heard—and centered—in policymaking.Marie has been featured on MSNBC, CNN, FOX, NBC, ABC, CBS, and PBS, and her work has been spotlighted by The New York Times, Washington Post, Elle, Teen Vogue, Ms. Magazine, The New Yorker, Chicago Tribune, and many more. Her op-eds and public speeches have sparked conversations across the political spectrum, from Capitol Hill to kitchen tables.She currently lives in LaGrange, Illinois, with her husband and beagle, Iggy. Marie is a proud mom of two adult children, an active consultant, and a podcaster. Her debut novel—a work of political fiction—is due out in 2026, and she will launch her new podcast in 2025.Her personal motto? “When you don't see the solution you desperately need—make it from scratch.”http://marienewmanstudio.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.

Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom Session: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ticket Subscribe to the podcast: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/subscribe Podcast show notes, links and transcript: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/  Today, I'm joined by Dr Jan Eppingstall to unpack "towards moves" and "away moves" in the context of hoarding. These terms might sound unusual, but they're crucial for understanding behaviour in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and how they relate to our values. It's all about recognising whether our actions are leading us closer to what matters or pulling us further away, and we'll be exploring how to identify and pivot those choices. Introduction to Towards Moves and Away Moves Definition and explanation of the concept. The relevance of these moves in dealing with hoarding disorder. Initial thoughts on the impact of small actions. Examples in a Hoarding Context Away moves (e.g., keeping craft supplies, avoiding recognising chaos). Towards moves (e.g., donating supplies, acknowledging home environment issues). Explanation of how values influence these moves. Role of Values in Decision Making Importance of determining personal values. How values affect choices and provide motivation. Impact of materialism and societal pressures on values. Cognitive Fusion Explanation and examples of cognitive fusion. The effect of tightly held beliefs on reality and actions. Discussion of accuracy vs. helpfulness of thoughts. Flexibility vs. Rigidity and Perfectionism Psychological inflexibility and societal expectations. The struggle between personal values and societal pressures. The concept of emotional flexibility and its importance. Recognising Towards and Away Moves Strategies for acknowledging and reflecting on these moves. Importance of awareness in decision-making processes. Dopamine and Pleasure vs. Meaning The role of dopamine in pleasure and motivation. Discussion on short-term pleasure vs. long-term meaning. How these insights influence approach and avoidance behaviours. Making Changes and Addressing Moves Creating “if-then” plans to anticipate moves. Reflecting on decisions and their outcomes. Recognising patterns and using past experiences to guide future actions. Role of Helpers in Towards and Away Moves Identification and importance of helpers like goal setting and values clarification. Challenges faced by individuals with attentional deficits. Votes for the Person You Want to Be Connection between choices and self-identity. Concept of actions as votes for future selves. First Steps to Take More Towards Moves Starting with value clarification exercises. Questions to help determine what's important personally. Encouragement to explore inner motivations and experiences.

Why does changing old habits always feel like an uphill battle, even when we genuinely want to change? Understanding the science behind our behaviors isn't just a nice-to-have; it's essential for growth. Natalie McVeigh, an executive coach specializing in neuroscience and conversational intelligence, and I dove deep into this enlightening topic. Natalie has dedicated her career to understanding the intricacies of human behavior and helping others break unproductive cycles. She believes that change often comes with the tendency to focus on what we shouldn't do, a pattern that inadvertently reinforces the very behaviors we aim to avoid. Instead of battling ingrained patterns that don't serve us, Natalie emphasizes the power of positive action and mindful communication. Natalie's expertise helps individuals transform their habits through intentional and measured actions, leading to personal and professional growth.

In this sermon, we take a look at one of the strongest New Testament passages on the Grace of the Gospel. Ephesians 2.1-10 reminds believers what they have been saved from, God's initiation of the process, and the purpose for salvation.

“For women, people of color, and anyone on the margins, there's a culture and society that wants to dominate us; to keep us oppressed and in line. The more that we fight through it, the better off we are and the more fires we can start to disrupt the world around us.”Alencia Johnson is an award-winning commentator, political advisor, leader and now an author who is teaching people how to be everyday disruptors. After working on presidential campaigns of President Obama, Senator Warren, and President Biden, Alencia went to work for Planned Parenthood where she helped create “Stand with Black Women," a campaign to call attention to Black people's bodily autonomy and dignity. Alencia's debut book Flip The Tables: The Everyday Disruptor's Guide to Finding Courage and Making Change, a manual for finding your audacity, shaking up the status quo, and creating a better world, is out now.During our conversation, Alencia and I discuss the life lessons she took away from being raised by activists, the mental and physical health struggles that helped her focus on her personal fulfillment, and how she found the courage to be an agitator for good. Alencia is a strong and compassionate leader, a bold and confident risk-taker, and a courageous warrior for justice and equality.

Jobs are great, and we're not just talking Steve here. Some of us are even fortunate enough to have a job. In the current economic climate, changing jobs isn't always something that can be planned, so holding onto a job is often our primary concern. But how do we know when we have outgrown our current role? What are some of the signs that it's time to start looking? How do we know if we are jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire? What are some of the strategies that we can use to make sure we advance our career and preserve our sanity?
