Today on Crina and Kirsten Get to Work, we are dishing on JOY - and yes, we do not talk about the joy part of work and life enough!   Let's start with a clarification: happiness and joy are not identical twins. Happiness is that bubbly high you get from winning a raffle or finding a parking spot downtown—it's external, fleeting, like confetti in the wind. Joy, on the other hand, is more of a soul-deep warmth—steady, internal, and linked to meaning and purpose. Happiness is like a 4th of July sparkler and joy is a campfire that keeps you cozy when life gets chilly.   Research says we all need three things for a fulfilling life: achievement, meaning, and joy. Most overachievers nail the first two. But joy? That elusive third wheel often gets left in the dust under a pile of emails and grocery lists for our resident overachievers.   Why? It is just a matter of time, or rather lack thereof. A study of 1,500 busy Harvard alums found that after work, chores, and basic hygiene, people had a whopping three hours a day left for discretionary joy-seeking. How those three hours are spent is as important as the three hours themselves. Some folks squeezed the last drop of joy out of those hours and others, well, not so much.   So, how do the joy-masters do it? Engage with Others: Want joy? Get yourself some good friends—and Kirsten called it - particularly some friends who are good at joy - aka Crina. Meaningful conversation, shared laughs, music and maybe even some outdoor adventure. Joy multiplies when it's a group project.   Avoid the Couch Trap: Passive downtime (we're looking at you, Netflix and doomscrolling) scores low on the joy meter. Opt for active pursuits—gardening, hiking, baking, even volunteering. Your joy-o-meter will thank you.   Follow Your Passion: Do what you love. Autonomy is joy's secret sauce.   Mix It Up: Variety is the spice of joyful life. Too much of one hobby leads to diminishing returns (yes, even pickleball). Keep your free time fresh.   Protect Your Time: Guard your off-hours like a mama bear. Detaching from work is essential. Each extra work hour may rob you of joy—each hour of leisure gives it back. In the end, joy isn't a luxury—it's a rebellion, a survival tactic, and maybe, just maybe, your best productivity hack yet.    Good Reads: How the Busiest People Find Joy Unwrapping the Science of Joy - John Templeton Foundation

I was pleasantly surprised and [found it] incredibly fulfilling when we brought kids who I interviewed down to Florida and thank you to the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra -- they gave us the opportunity to bring these young activists into schools and introduce these young activists -- this is three days after the last election so other kids in these schools were feeling very defeated; in the beginning they were afraid to ask questions...and our kids were in their 20s now and said, "OK, so you're upset.so, what are you gonna do?" There was an exchange of energy between the two of them that was so absolutely gratifying. That was the cherry on top for me. ~Portia Kamons, librettist  SEVENTEEN is a symphonic portrait of young Americans confronting an unprecedented range of challenges, from gun violence to climate change.

There's a strange tension in how connected everything seems on the surface, yet how distant people often feel. It's hard to have real conversations when most interactions are filtered through screens, likes, and quick replies. For introverts or anyone craving more depth, the constant buzz can be overwhelming, not to mention draining. And in work settings, that gap between technical communication and personal connection can grow even wider. Finding a way to be heard without shouting is becoming more important than ever. Steve Spiro is an author, speaker, and host of the Master Connector Show, where he champions real human connection in a digital world. Once a shy introvert, he learned to build strong relationships by challenging himself to meet strangers daily. Today, he talks about being intentional in networking, leading with service, and using platforms like LinkedIn to build trust. He stresses the value of listening, vulnerability, and consistent follow-up. His message: meaningful relationships are built by putting others first. Stay tuned!

Hi friend, Do you crave deeper friendships—but feel like life is too chaotic to nurture them? Maybe your calendar is packed, your house feels too messy to host, or your expectations for friendship have quietly become barriers instead of bridges. In this heart-to-heart conversation, I'm joined by Cecelia Curtis of The Friendship Tour Podcast to unpack the hidden “clutter” that keeps many of us from forming meaningful, life-giving relationships. We talk about: The myth of microwave friendships (spoiler: real connection takes time!) How unmet expectations, mental load, and busyness sabotage connection What it means to be a friend and make space to receive friendship The power of community and why we were never meant to do life alone This one is for the woman who's longing for connection—but feels like she just doesn't have the capacity. There is a way to make room. Let's talk about how to start small and real.

What if the belonging you've been craving isn't about fitting in—but about showing up as yourself? In this episode, I'm joined by my longtime friends and collaborators Tori and Shannon for an honest, laughter-filled conversation about Camp Is In Your Heart—a one-of-a-kind gathering designed to spark connection, creativity, and community for adults. We share stories from camp, behind-the-scenes details (including the handmade swag bags), and reflect on how meaningful spaces for growth and friendship have evolved over the years. Whether you're camp-curious, looking for deeper connections, or simply craving space to feel seen and supported, this conversation reminds you that camp isn't just a weekend—it's a feeling you carry with you.

Caroline Antonia from Rebellious Business joins Doug in this episode. Caroline talks about the painful reality of personal growth, comparing goal achievement to the grieving process. From her entrepreneurial journey that started with selling CDs at age 9 to building a thriving business network, Caroline shares why she believes goals require emotional sacrifice and identity shifts. Discover her unique perspective on personality tests, the "woo woo era" of goal setting, and why she thinks achieving big goals means saying goodbye to parts of yourself. KEY TAKEAWAYS • Grief is part of goal achievement and setting meaningful goals often requires letting go of your current identity and grieving the person you're leaving behind, which can be emotionally painful but necessary. • Subconscious goals get achieved more than conscious ones. Goals that feel meaningful and aligned with your deeper purpose are more likely to manifest than surface-level desires you write down without commitment. • While personality tests and similar can provide insight into who you are, they can create deterministic thinking that boxes you in rather than empowering you to grow. • Start with achievable milestones. When your big goal feels too distant to visualise, focus on the furthest point you can clearly see and make that your interim target to maintain momentum. • Instead of forcing yourself into a narrow niche, focus on clearly communicating your unique value proposition, which will naturally attract the right audience. • Emotional connection is crucial for goal achievement. Writing goals as if already achieved isn't enough; you must genuinely feel the emotions associated with having accomplished them to engage your subconscious mind. • Meaningful goals will make you question your identity and push you beyond what feels safe or familiar, creating necessary pressure for growth. BEST MOMENTS "I find that so far a lot of things that I work towards or that I really set my sights on, they require grief. I always have to grief an element of myself, which has been holding myself back." "What have I been doing this whole time? Like, why have I been playing so small? And I don't feel like that's fair because I think we're doing pretty well." "The pressure is an indication to shed. I haven't used that analogy for years... but the pressure is something that forces them to grow." "I'd embrace the pain, embrace the sadness of what was and what you could have done sooner. You know, that for me I find really painful."

In today's episode, I share my personal experience with stem cell therapy—and the unexpected lessons that came from being forced to slow down. Whether you're choosing a procedure like stem cell therapy or suddenly dealing with an injury or illness, time off from your normal routine isn't just inconvenient — it's a major mental and physical shift. But it doesn't have to be a setback.  In this episode, I unpack the power of reframing your downtime with three key focus areas: Mindset,  Movement, and  Meaningful redirection.   Why I opted for Stem Cell Therapy Knee inflammation.  As a medical exercise specialist and a strength & conditioning coach, if we have a knee issue, the first places to look are the hip mobility, glute strength and hamstring strength. I chose to do a stem cell therapy NOW before the degeneration of the tissues got worse. Nothing you do with soft tissue will help your hard tissue or bone structure regenerate. If there's an opportunity to regenerate, it occurs when you're healthiest, not when more damage is done.   MINDSET Detaching identity from physically active and physically capable Dealing with “rest guilt” “You will regret doing too much. You won't regret doing less.” Flipping frustration into self-awareness What I did: travel to a baby shower  Accept the pace change without resentment.   MOVEMENT Moving smarter not harder. Do what I am able to do (core activation) and how I modified it with no pressure on the knees (e.g. stretching, swimming with a pool buoy, etc). “Some” movement matters more than “perfect” movement. It's better to be undertrained than overtrained.   MEANINGFUL REDIRECTION (or Focus Shift) Using the extra time for non-physical growth (sleep, reading a book, collecting recipes, etc.) Business planning, learning, and creative projects. The power of journaling during healing. Making your mandatory time off count long-term.   The Power of Pause - The Lesson Learned from My Stem Cell Therapy   Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - Bladder Issues in Menopause - The Hidden Bacteria You Need to Know Next Episode - Essential Oils for Menopause Hormones | Essential How-to for Essential Oils More Like This - Better Strength and Metabolism in Midlife Through More Rest and Recovery   Resources:  Get your lean, clean Flipping 50 Protein Powders to maintain muscle and support metabolism.

Many of us ask ourselves the honest question: Why is making friends as an adult so hard? At this Talkback, Ben Sciacca, Redeemer's Local Ministry Coordinator, dove into how God created us to live in meaningful community with one another. While the desire for friendship is part of God's good design, the reality is that we live in a time of prevailing loneliness and isolation. Ben was joined by Janet King, Founder of The Gathering Lab. Together, they discussed how to move past small talk into something deeper. They explored what barriers keep us isolated and what fears prevent us from moving beyond our comfort zones. As image-bearers of a loving God, we are hardwired for community, and we hope you'll fight against the digital age that keeps us disconnected.JOIN THE NEXT STEPAt the end, Ben and Janet announced our Summer Circles, which are opportunities coming later this summer to meet and build meaningful friendships right here at Redeemer. If you want to join these gatherings, sign up at The Gathering Lab now. ABOUT TALKBACKSOur Talkbacks are great opportunities to see how our faith engages with the world around us. This summer, we're excited to have four evenings that discuss how the gospel changes how we think about race, politics, the world, and our stories.Each Talkback, we get a chance to hear from a speaker for about 45 minutes before spending about 45 minutes in a Q&A. We encourage you to come with questions! MORE INFOFor more info, visit rccbirmingham.com/talkbacks

Pathfinder Church | June 22, 2025 | Dion GarrettIt seems like it's easier than ever to offend other people. Meaningful relationships are even harder to come by. It's rare to find marriages or friendships that can go the distance. Even families are not the bond they once were. As our relationships break down from a whole host of complicated modern assaults, how can the ancient, simpler setting of the Bible possibly improve the longevity and quality of our relationships?Website | https://pathfinderstl.orgOnline Giving | https://pathfinderstl.org/givePodcasts | https://pathfinderstl.org/podcastsFacebook | https://facebook.com/pathfinderstlInstagram | https://instagram.com/pathfinderstlSt. John School | https://stjls.orgContact Us | churchinfo@pathfinderstl.org

Curious if a group program is the right next step for your business? In this new episode on the Humane Marketing podcast, Sarah Santacroce talks with group program expert Kerry Dobson about the power of small, interactive groups. Together, they explore what truly defines a group program, the unique benefits of intimate settings, the facilitator's role, and the importance of understanding your “why” before getting started. If you're an entrepreneur seeking clarity and a more humane approach to group offerings, this conversation is for you. In this episode we talked about: The definition of a group program and how it compares to other offerings, such as online courses or memberships. The distinction between large-scale “guru” group programs (one-to-thousands) and smaller, more intimate groups, and the impact on transformation and participant connection. The unique value and magic that happens in smaller, intimate groups, especially regarding participant-to-participant connection and transformation. The facilitator's role in group programs and why it can be more powerful to host smaller groups rather than large ones. The business and impact considerations of running small versus large group programs, including the challenges and benefits of each model. The pitfalls of trying to emulate large-scale group models when starting out, and the importance of building impactful small groups first. The significance of understanding your “why” before creating a group program, and the questions to consider before deciding if a group program is right for you.

What if your greatest impact as a leader begins after your "official" career ends? Joe Davis, former Managing Director and Senior Partner at Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and author of "The Generous Leader: 7 Ways to Give of Yourself for Everyone's Gain", joins Peter Winick to share insights from his extraordinary shift from consulting titan to impactful thought leader. Joe reveals how the disruptions of COVID-19 inspired him to write his book—not just as a professional calling card, but to encourage executives to lead with heartfelt generosity and empathy. He emphasizes that legacy leadership isn't measured by revenue alone but by meaningful connections, personal growth, and empowering others. This episode is for CEOs and senior leaders contemplating their own "Act Three." Joe discusses the challenges and opportunities when transitioning from a structured corporate role into thought leadership and advisory work. He highlights the importance of being selective and intentional about the roles you choose post-retirement, avoiding burnout, and keeping control over your time. Joe also candidly discusses how success is redefined after a corporate career. He measures impact differently now, valuing deep personal connections, mentoring opportunities, and moments spent with family—especially his grandchildren. If you're an executive thinking about your next meaningful chapter, listen in as Joe Davis shares hard-won wisdom and practical guidance on building your legacy beyond the boardroom. Three Key Takeaways: • Legacy Starts Now: True leadership legacy isn't shaped by quarterly earnings or titles—it's built through empathetic connections, generosity, and empowering others, starting today. • Choose Wisely Post-Retirement: After a high-powered career, saying "yes" to everything can quickly lead to burnout. Be selective; prioritize roles that align deeply with your purpose. • Redefine Success on Your Terms: Success beyond the C-suite isn't measured by traditional metrics. Meaningful impact emerges from mentoring, family time, and genuinely fulfilling activities. If Joe Davis's insights on moving from executive roles to impactful thought leadership resonated with you, check out our episode featuring Vaughn Sigmon. Vaughn shares how he successfully transitioned from corporate leadership at CarMax to launching his own thriving leadership development firm. Both episodes explore how intentionality, authenticity, and clear personal branding drive meaningful post-corporate careers.

Spies use psychology to recruit traitors and build deep connections. Here, former spy Julian Fisher reveals the authentic art of strategic influence.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1164What We Discuss with Julian Fisher:Authenticity is paradoxical in espionage. Spies must be genuine people to build real trust, yet they also lie about their identity. This contradiction requires exceptional self-awareness and emotional intelligence.Quality relationships beat quantity networking. Meaningful connections with targeted individuals who can help achieve specific goals are far more valuable than collecting hundreds of superficial contacts.Personality profiling reveals deeper insights. Understanding someone's background, struggles, and journey tells you more about who they really are than just their job title or surface-level information.Preparation and homework create connection. Researching someone's interests and referencing them naturally (like Julian's football gambit in Zimbabwe) can instantly shift dangerous situations into opportunities.Walk to important meetings for mental clarity. A 20-minute walk before crucial conversations clears mental baggage, stimulates creativity, and helps you arrive fully present and focused.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!
