Here's your invitation to slow down, tune in, and truly support yourself through the midlife transition.  Because all the changes in menopause, emotionally and physically, can seriously rock your identity.  That's why I've invited mindfulness expert Rosie Acosta on the podcast to explore the intersection of mindfulness and menopause, and how being in a community with other women can make this season of life feel less isolating and so much more empowering.  Rosie shares how anxiety can become a messenger to your body rather than an enemy, and offers simple breathing techniques so you can feel grounded anytime, anywhere.  Together, we redefine what womanhood and wellness look like in midlife and beyond—more connected and more intentional than ever. Listen now to feel seen and inspired on your midlife journey! Rosie Acosta Rosie Acosta is a mindfulness teacher at Headspace and author of You Are Radically Loved: A Healing Journey to Self-Love. With over 20 years of study and a decade of teaching, she's led transformative retreats, workshops, and teacher trainings worldwide. A devoted advocate for equity and intergenerational healing, she volunteers with the Re-Evolution Prison Project and is earning her Master's in Clinical Psychology at Pepperdine. She's also the host of The Radically Well Podcast.  IN THIS EPISODE What relationships and community in midlife should look like  How to use mindfulness to support changes in menopause  Mindful ways to manage anxiety rather than fighting against it The uptick in early perimenopause and autoimmune disorders  Using mindfulness to shift the menopause narrative   What radical love looks like for a woman in midlife  Embracing change and your evolving identity in menopause  About Rosie's Book: You Are Radically Loved QUOTES “As a perimenopause expert, it's like a moving target. Something that worked one day might not work the next. I think if I had to give the people listening right now just one technique that works, it's learning how to use your breath to ground, to create safety even if it's just for a couple of minutes.” “I think the more that we have conversations like this, the more normalized it will become, and the more normalized having these conversations will become. It gives us the empowerment and the invitation to ask questions, to ask our doctors to do the right types of tests, to get different opinions, to explore.” “Radical love to me means embracing the whole of who you are.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order Rosie's book: YOU ARE RADICALLY LOVED https://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Radically-Loved-Self-Love/dp/0593330153 Order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Use code ENERGIZED and get $100 off on your first CAROL Bike order https://carolbike.pxf.io/GK3LaE Rosie on Instagram Rosie Acosta on Substack Check out Rosie's Podcast: The Radically Well Podcast  RELATED EPISODES #629: Unlocking Emotional Resilience with Awareness, Lifestyle and Tools to Regulate Your Stress Triggers with Dr. Drew Ramsey #692: Why Emotional Healing is Hormone Healing-The New Path to Midlife Empowerment with Ashley Turner  #565: How to Live in a State of Ease and Flow vs. Overwhelm and Resentment + Reclaiming Your Aliveness with Alexi Panos #598: Break the Cycle of Burnout, Anxiety, and Fear by Tapping into Heart Coherence with Kimberly Snyder

Thank you for joining us for the latest episode of The Covenant Podcast!In this Covenant Podcast episode, Pastor Gregory and Pastor Allison dive into Psalm 8 and the powerful question: “What is man that You are mindful of him?” They unpack what it means that God has His mind set on us—that we're crowned with glory and honor, created in His image, and invited to live from victory, not for it.You'll hear about identity, renewed thinking, daily communion with Jesus, and how God's love stays present even in pain, abuse, or confusion. From stories of healing and restoration to practical truths about replacing destructive thoughts with God's Word, this episode will remind you: you're not forgotten, not overlooked, and never alone—God is truly mindful of you.

"Learning how to trust God and let go of our fears, worries, and frustrations is the best way to model peace for our children." — Dr. Gregory Bottaro   Summary This week on the Messy Family Podcast, we are joined by Dr. Greg Bottaro for a heartfelt and practical conversation every parent needs to hear. In this interview, Dr. Greg explains why kids are not naturally built to listen and why so many of us parents end up frustrated. His solution is simple and hopeful. Get clear on the rulebook you grew up with, compare it with your spouse's, and build a shared one that gives your children a steady sense of security.  We talk about unity in marriage, how it shapes a child's emotional world, and why kids feel safest when mom and dad stand together. Dr. Gregg also breaks down attachment parenting, pointing out what helps, what stresses families, and why connection between parents matters more than perfect technique.  Listen in to get tools for handling anxiety and staying grounded. You will walk away encouraged, supported, and ready to grow as a family (we were!).   Key Takeaways Children are not naturally built to listen Their brains are still developing, so parents need realistic expectations and a shared rulebook to guide family life with consistency. Parental unity creates a child's secure base A cohesive marriage provides emotional safety. When parents stand together, children regulate better, feel protected, and thrive. Attachment parenting works best when parents are connected to each other The focus should not be on perfect techniques, but on calm, present, regulated parents who work as a team. Faith and community strengthen parenting Trust in divine providence and a grounded spiritual life help parents grow in emotional maturity. Catholic mindfulness reduces anxiety Mindful presence, paired with trust in God, reshapes anxious brain patterns. Even a few minutes a day can improve decision making, calm fears about parenting, and support healthier family relationships. Couple Discussion Questions What were our "rulebooks" from our families when we were growing up?  How can we create our own rulebook for our family? When do we feel most united in our parenting?  When do we feel most divided?

What does it mean to age, remember, and let go through the lens of Jewish mindfulness? The 7th episode in a series on family explore this question.

Josh offers a mindful path toward facing life's hardest truths with more openness, connection, and peace. Be in touch at josh@unpacked.media.

In this episode, AJ and Chris dig into a playful but insightful exploration: What would happen if an outsider spent a weekend in Bellingham guided solely by web searches or AI?Fresh off a Portland conference with heavy AI themes, AJ tests what “SmackGPT” thinks a weekend in Bellingham should look like across five traveler personas: the Local Explorer, Family Adventurer, Mindful Explorer, Camper, and Lux High Roller (exact output posted below).The gents review, refine, and sometimes hilariously correct the AI-generated recommendations, offering their hyper-local expertise on food, lodging, hikes, coffee shops, costs, and hidden gems. Along the way, Amtrak stories, camping advice, critiques of $10 gas estimates, and an update on the infamous “mics on sticks” recording setup.It's a mix of travel guide, tech commentary, and classic Bellingham banter all better than any bot.

Send us a textWhat if the real edge in parenting is the same edge that wins on the course: a clear target, acceptance of misses, and total commitment to the next shot? We sit down with Decade Golf founder Scott Fawcett for an unfiltered conversation about fatherhood, emotional control, and the strategy mindset that turned a former hothead into a calmer competitor—and a dad still learning in real time.Scott opens up about growing up in Texas, finding golf as a lifeline, and how poker math and strokes gained data inspired Decade's approach to target selection and decision-making. He breaks down how strategy reduces blowups, why most golfers feel they “should have scored lower,” and the simple framework that helps single‑digit players and aspiring competitors choose smarter shots under pressure. Along the way, he shares Augusta stories, PGA insights, and candid thoughts on who Decade helps the most.The heart of the episode lives at home. Scott talks co‑parenting through divorce and grief, the friction that comes with teenage brains, and why a praise‑to‑correction ratio is so hard to keep. We dig into device culture and dopamine loops, arguing for clear boundaries, late adoption, and tech‑limited spaces that protect attention. Then we pivot to solutions: meditation as the ultimate competitive advantage, Sam Harris's Waking Up app, and curiosity‑driven “TED questions” (Tell me, Explain, Describe) that open real conversations with kids. It's practical, compassionate, and honest about how often we fall short—and why showing up again matters most.If you've ever felt like you're parenting without a yardage book, this is for you. Hit play to learn how to translate course strategy into family leadership, trade reactivity for awareness, and build a home where effort compounds into confidence. If this resonated, follow, share with a friend, and leave a quick review so more parents and golfers can find it.Support the showPlease don't forget to leave us a review wherever you consume your podcasts!

When you enter a conflict trying to win, Deepak Chopra says you've already lost.“We can resolve any conflict,” says Dr. Deepak Chopra. All it takes is what he calls “conscious communication.”Chopra is a physician, a leading authority on integrative wellbeing, and the author of over 97 books. His “conscious communication” approach puts presence at the center of all meaningful interactions — bringing together attention, affection, appreciation, and acceptance. When applied to conflicts, his approach turns adversaries into collaborators, leading to what he calls "spiritual solutions" where diverse perspectives and problem-solving lead to better outcomes for all. “We can come up with a creative solution for any adversity,” he says. “All we want is the best outcome for everyone.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Chopra and host Matt Abrahams explore how presence transforms our interactions, why intentions enable us to accomplish more with less effort, and helpful questions to guide difficult conversations. Whether navigating conflict in our professional or personal lives, Chopra's insights show why the best resolutions come when we stop trying to be right and start trying to understand.Episode Reference Links:Deepak ChopraDeepak Chopra AIEp.138 Speak Your Truth: Why Authenticity Leads to Better Communication 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 (02:29) - The Power of Presence (04:15) - Reframing Conflict (10:25) - The Role of Intention (12:25) - DeepakChopra.ai Explained (14:27) - The Final Three Question (19:10) - 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.

A quiet room, a slower week, and a simple question that matters: what truly makes someone ready to teach mindfulness? While recovering from COVID, I took time to reflect on the difference between healthy hesitation and unhelpful overconfidence—and why the best teachers often start from humility rather than hype.We walk through a practical rule of thumb shared by senior mindfulness teachers: when invited to teach, thoughtful caution can signal integrity, while quick certainty can reveal a mismatch in motivation. I dig into what that looks like in real life—respect for lineage and evidence-based methods, eagerness to keep learning, and the willingness to prioritize student welfare over personal status. We explore how ego can slip into the role through grand promises or a rush to scale, and how that energy often reduces connection, sensitivity, and care.From there, we center the motivation that sustains good teaching: compassion. If the driving force is to help people navigate stress, anxiety, and pain with presence and kindness, the teacher's stance becomes service rather than performance. That intention shapes everything—language, pacing, trauma-informed choices, and the quiet discipline of ongoing practice. I share simple readiness checks you can use before stepping onto the path: Are you open to mentorship? Are you patient with your development? Do you feel tenderness for the teachings themselves and for those you hope to serve?If you feel called to teach, let your caution be a doorway, not a barrier. Let compassion lead and let the integrity of the teachings guide your next steps.

In this powerful conversation, Coach Frank is joined once again by psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Glenn Livingston (Never Binge Again) to break down one of the biggest hidden challenges men face: staying in control around food — especially during the holidays.   They explore why so many disciplined, successful men lose control with their eating this time of year, and how to indulge without guilt, compromise, or spiraling into a "start again Monday" setback.   Dr. Livingston reveals simple rules, identity-based strategies, and mindset shifts that allow men to enjoy the holidays while maintaining discipline, confidence, and self-respect — without obsessing, restricting, or apologizing for their goals.   Expect to Learn Why high-performers fall off more during the holidays — and how to stop it   The exact moment overeating starts — and how to intercept it   How to enjoy holiday food without losing control or waking up ashamed   Tools for navigating social pressure and family dynamics around food   Why perfectionism is the enemy of long-term health   The role of identity in lasting behavior change   How to set New Year's resolutions that actually work   Why emotional healing doesn't come before discipline — it comes after habits change   Key Takeaways Boundaries prevent guilt. You can indulge — but you must decide when, where, and how much ahead of time.   Social pressure is real — but manageable. Redirect conversations instead of defending your choices.   Clear food rules = less stress. Discipline is easier when your brain isn't negotiating every decision.   Mindful eating changes the experience. Slow down, taste your food, and stay present at the table.   Put your phone away during meals. Connection increases fulfillment and reduces overeating.   Identity is the long-term lever. Eat according to the man you're becoming — not the impulse of the moment.   Aim for consistency, not perfection. Small wins build momentum — and momentum builds belief.   Visualize consequences. Think beyond the moment and feel future outcomes before you act.   Behavior drives emotion. Fix your patterns first, and the emotional attachment to food begins to dissolve.   New Year's resolutions must be specific. Vague motivation fades — concrete rules stick.   Connect with Dr. Glenn Livingston: Website - https://www.defeatyourcravings.com/   Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/never-binge-again/id1262926738   --- Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/   Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ

Are you in control of your emotional reactions? Each and every person has dormant abilities locked away in their genetic codes. Traditionally, scientists believed it would take generations to activate a new evolutionary ability, but we now know that epigenetics can expedite the process. Today on Conscious Fertility, Dr. Cassandra Vieten elaborates on the mind-body connection and how you can influence your genetic code with your environment and habits. You cannot control the world, but you can control your reaction to it. Dr. Vieten is the executive director of the John W. Brick Foundation and the author of Mindful Motherhood. Her groundbreaking research into mind-body medicine is changing how we understand our human potential. Dr. Vieten teaches you practical steps you can take today to change your outlook, so you can rewire your brain and become spiritually competent. You can develop entirely new thought patterns with the help of mindfulness training. Dr. Vieten explains how mothers can unlock their latent potential for inner peace and how that skill transfers to their children. You cannot eliminate life's obstacles, but you can bolster your ability to deal with stress by communing with nature and making time for yourself. Join us to explore how you can access your hidden potential with epigenetics and mindfulness training. Key Takeaways: Unlocking your dormant potential The mind-body connection Epigenetics and gene expression Emotional freedom technique Virtual reality for mental health Being at peace with the present Controlling your reactions Developing new response patterns Self-compassion practices Mindful motherhood Lowering resistance Practicing detachment About Dr.Cassandra Vieten Dr. Cassandra Vieten is Executive Director of the John W.

Today, we're breaking down the top five stories from the past week—stories that matter for clinicians, caregivers, patients, and anyone who cares about the future of health. Let's get into it.Until next time… Remember to breathe. Carry what matters.

As today's teacher notes, self-compassion is different from self-esteem. Relying on building up our self-esteem tends to lead us to need a lot of external validation in order to feel ok. Instead, self-compassion is the idea that even with all of our flaws, we can still care about ourselves and see ourselves as infinitely worthy of love and belonging.  In this extended 30-minute practice, mindfulness teacher Diana Winston guides us through a process to get familiar with our self-judging voice and how we relate to our flaws, so that we can nurture compassion and recognize our own worthiness. Diana Winston is the Director of Mindfulness Education at UCLA's Mindful Awareness Research Center and author of several books including The Little Book of Being: Practices and Guidance for Uncovering your Natural Awareness. Note that there is an extended silent pause in the middle of this recording to give extra time to practice.  The transcription of this guided meditation will be online at Mindful.org next week.  Stay curious, stay inspired.

Go Deeper We all have an interior voice that keeps a running commentary on everything we do. Occasionally that voice is encouraging or kind, but often it isn't. The thing is, most of us aren't even consciously aware of this constant internal chatter. We just think it's reality. Mindfulness gives us the tools to notice, recognize, and work with this mental monologue in ways that improve our ability to learn from mistakes, be accountable, make amends, and grow as people.

The holiday season often brings a swirl of emotions, from resurfacing grief and gift-giving pressures to expectations of gratitude amid stress. Navigating these challenges means honoring grief, fostering meaningful connections, and approaching gift exchanges with intention and healthy boundaries. Mindful spending and economic choices take on new significance, while gratitude, hope, and courage are cultivated as daily practices within supportive communities. These reflections offer guidance for moving through the season with greater authenticity and strength.In this episode of Mindset Unlimited, I share some holiday reflections for navigating grief, gifts, and gratitude with intention and mindfulness.Some of what I explore in this episode includes:Navigating grief and loss during the holiday season with practical emotional support strategiesMindful and meaningful holiday gift-giving, including setting healthy boundariesEmbracing mindful spending and supporting financial well-beingPracticing gratitude, hope, and courage to cultivate authentic connections and community support during holidays Have thoughts or questions about this episode?

We know mindful drinking supports wellness and healthier choices. But has it also finally become something the cool kids are into? That was the question we posed to Sam Bail, Founder of Third Place Bar, who has been running pop-up events in New York City for three years. What's been different lately in her business? Getting calls from brands in fashion and beauty, wanting to feature non-alcoholic drinks at various industry and launch events. It's part of a broader trend of NA continuing to show up in places beyond the dusty cabinet where bars and restaurants used to keep the O'Doul's.Mentioned in this episode:Third Place BarAnti Hangover Drinking Club (Sam's Substack)We'd love your feedback!

What if the shift from mindless to mindful drinking could change everything? In this episode, Coach Cole sits down with Rhoda and Wendi to share what coaching inside The Path really looks like—compassionate, practical, and doable. Together, they uncover the small, repeatable steps that turn autopilot drinking into a conscious choice. From creating space in the middle of urges to redefining success one brick at a time, you'll hear real-life strategies for how to stop giving in to alcohol urges and build lasting freedom. In Rhoda's Session: Moving from mindless to mindful drinking with awareness and self-compassion Redefining success: tiny “brick by brick” wins, not just streaks Using short-term resets (2 days, even 10 minutes) to build confidence Practicing “data points” instead of shame spirals when slips happen How to stop giving in to alcohol urges by creating a small pause and water-first routine Navigating social situations (Mahjong, Bunco) with mindful choices Breaking the cycle of self-criticism and comparison And additional topics… In Wendi's Session: Recognizing the job alcohol is doing (numbing, emotional regulation) Creating quick “table it” strategies when urges hit in real life Learning to observe urges with curiosity rather than dread From mindless overwhelm to mindful naming of sensations (chest tightness, racing thoughts) How to stop giving in to alcohol urges by separating yourself from the urge with the “rock” visualization Reframing urges as normal emotional waves, like grief—not failure Building self-trust through repeatable, real-life mindful practices And more… Cole Harvey is a certified Naked Mind Senior Coach. For years, he felt lost and used alcohol as a way to cope, until he decided to go alcohol-free and focus on finding his purpose. Through curiosity, self-compassion, and adventure, he transformed his life. As a habit change and mindset coach, Cole helps young men understand themselves, build better habits, and find meaning.

David Scott Lynn is a yoga therapist, bodywork specialist, and creator of Myo-Structural Bodywork. For over 45 years, he has helped people resolve chronic pain and avoid unnecessary surgeries through deep relaxation and mindful movement. His approach blends yoga, massage, and emotional intelligence, showing that muscle tension is often the hidden root of long-term pain. He teaches people to reconnect their minds with their bodies to restore health, balance, and awareness. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, David explains how most physical and emotional issues share the same source—disconnection from the body. He breaks down the myths around yoga, explains why real mindfulness starts with physical awareness, and shares simple, practical ways to reduce tension and stress in daily life. Listeners learn how relaxation improves not only performance and focus but also emotional intelligence, creativity, and resilience in business and life. Quotes: “Most pain comes from excess muscle tension. When you relax the muscle, you release the problem at its root.” “Your emotions live in your body. You can't think your way out of tension—you have to feel your way through it.” “Real yoga isn't about poses or flexibility. It's about awareness in motion.” “When you slow down and reconnect with your body, thinking quiets down, and action becomes effortless.” Resources: Visit David Scott Lynn's Website Connect with David Scott Lynn on LinkedIn Connect with David Scott Lynn on Facebook Follow David Scott Lynn on X

Rabbi Josh Feigelson explores how mindful communication can transform family relationships, even when tensions run high. Through a candid story about navigating a tough parenting moment, he shows how slowing down, listening with empathy, and grounding conversations in love can make even difficult moments more meaningful. In the fifth episode in the family series, Josh draws on the V'ahavta prayer, and offers a simple mindfulness practice to help us speak—and listen—with greater intention at home.
