Fr. Robert McTeigue reflects on Fulton Sheen's 1932 book Moods and Truths, illustrating how its warnings about modern religion and authority remain strikingly relevant today. What can Sheen's defense of marriage, the Church's authority, and Christ's divinity teach us as the Church faces renewed pressure to compromise with the world?   Show Notes Moods and Truths Another Sort of Learning Hidden Artworks in Gold Surprised Renovators of America's Oldest Basilica Daily Readings - Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time iCatholic Mobile The Station of the Cross Merchandise - Use Coupon Code 14STATIONS for 10% off | Catholic to the Max Read Fr.

Jess Damuck was one of Martha Stewart's right hands in creating magazines and television shows for over a decade. She is now a creative director, food stylist, and the author of the bestselling cookbooks Salad Freak, Health Nut, and Open Wide with Benny Blanco. "Martha Stewart is my guru!" Musician John Moods is a German-Polish songwriter and recording artist who's intention is to listen to the heart and liberate it from the desires of wanting or trying to be cool. The two close friends took a road trip from LA to visit Jaymee in Ojai for the day at a highly transitional time in both their lives, which resulted in a deeply intimate conversation on topics ranging from the inspiration behind John's iconic mustache, Jess's ranking as the #4 listener of Arthur Russell on Spotify in 2025, the invitation to take the 'Leap of love' in life, the mystical white van that saved Jaymee's life, and that artists themselves are the true unfinished project. Plus the skinny on Jess's new cookbook (due this year), the mystery of John's unfinished album, and so much more.Interested in Trauma Counseling/Mentorship with Jaymee?email: lacee@loveistheauthor.com to set up a free consultation,or visit: ⁠www.loveistheauthor.com/mentorship⁠ for more info.LITA PODCAST: hosted, produced, and recorded by Jaymee Carpenter. SOUND MIX: Chris FallerOPENING SONG: Tripura Subdari by Earthtones Music & Sheela BringiCLOSING SONG: Ocean Of Beauty by Earthtones Music & Sheela BringiSPONSORS: YERBA MADRE ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.yerbamadre.com⁠RAUM GOODS ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.raumgoods.com⁠⁠⁠⁠BOSSANOVA SOAP www.bossanovasoap.com⁠⁠⁠⁠TOTALLY BLOWN ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.totallyblown.us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INDIAN LODGE ROAD ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.indianlodgeroad.com⁠⁠⁠⁠THiS SHOW is a LABOR of LOVE.

Dan didn't do a soundcheck because he's dumb, so his mic sounds like it's episode 1!   Dan & Manny welcome back longtime friend & Nostalgia Test Podcast all-star Steve Herrera to put the 1994 Pure Moods CD to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST!   “This music is at a very unsuccessful orgy.” -Dan Dissinger   Oh. My. God! If anyone can describe the mood of this episode, please email thenostalgiatest@gmail.com, because wow. There's really not a language to understand how Pure Moods from 1994 even begins to make sense as music, as an album, and how it went basically triple platinum. Maybe it's the aura of Kenny G, or the mysteriousness of Enya that creates the “pure” in Pure Moods. It could be the intimate energy of “Lily Was Here” which is on the Saxuality album that creates the mood that Pure Moods was trying to infuse in our 1994 existences. Who really knows, and Dan, Manny, & Steve actually never get to the bottom of this 90s existential portal, and would it even matter it they did? One thing for sure is this album wormed its way into our brains when we fell asleep on the couch and woke up at three o'clock in the morning wondering why the hell Tubular Bells was playing and why were we scared out of our minds. Maybe Steve is right that this album was being played on a loop at some random orgy in the middle of Sedona. Or Manny is right and this is the soundtrack to our mom's housecleaning and is the album for crazy Aunts with crystals. There's a chance Dan's right and this is the suburban psychedelic CD that adults played when they had too many Zimas and Bacardi Breezers, and that one leftover hippie neighbor pulls a crumpled-up joint they confiscated from their kid the other day so they can all relive their naked-Woodstock-summer-of-love glory days before waking up the next day to sell insurance. Either way, Pure Moods from 1994 is a nostalgic phenomenon that baffles our hosts and their longtime friend. So, fire up some incense, stare into the middle distance contemplating the 5th dimension, and light a movie's love scene worth of candles because you're about to get into the mood, Pure Moods with The Nostalgia Test Podcast. *** If you love what we're doing and want to support the podcast so we can keep this show going with better equipment and maybe meet up with each other to do some in-person recording, donate to The Nostalgia Test: buymeacoffee.com/nostalgiatest   Lastly, we're looking to be booked for podcast appearances, hosting gigs and parties, maybe you have a block party coming up, a BBQ that you want to be Nostalgia themed and you're looking to make it seriously memorable, a reunion, etc., contact us to book the podcast.

Guest: Mariana Alessandri, PhD — existentialist philosopher, author, and self-described "defender of dark moods"  If you've ever been told to "choose happy," "stay positive," or "look on the bright side" while your world was falling apart — this episode is for you.  Dr. Debi Silber sits down with philosopher Mariana Alessandri to explore why our society's obsession with toxic positivity is actually hurting the people who are suffering most. Mariana, author of a groundbreaking book on dark emotions (covering anger, sadness, grief, depression, and anxiety), brings a refreshing and deeply compassionate philosophical lens to the emotions we're taught to hide, suppress, or apologize for.  In this episode you'll discover:  Why the pressure to "be positive" has an insidious underbelly — and how it turns us against ourselves  The difference between saying "I'm broken" and "I'm in deep pain" — and why it matters  How souls connect more deeply in suffering than in joy (and the philosophy behind it)  The two wolves parable — and why starving the dark wolf may be keeping you stuck  Why anger deserves a hearing, not a judgment — and how it can be a form of self-care  The concept of "sympathetic resonance" and what heartstrings have to do with empathy  Why sharing your pain is a gift — not a burden — and how to find the people you can trust with it  How to talk about your pre-betrayal self with dignity, not shame  Mariana's two takeaways for everyone: It's not your job to cheer people up — and sharing pain is a gift, not a burden.  Connect with Mariana Alessandri:  Website: marianalessandri.com  Instagram: @mariana.alessandri  Resources mentioned:  Night Side of Nature (Mariana's book — chapters on anger, sadness, grief, depression, and anxiety)  Philosophers referenced: Miguel de Unamuno, Audre Lorde, Maria Lugones, Aristotle, the Stoics, Epicureans  The two wolves parable  Susan Caine's concept of "bittersweet"

В 2026 году, исполняется 100 лет со дня рождения Джона Колтрейна и Майлза Дэвиса. Blue Moods - это коллектив, состоящий из избранных музыкантов лейбла Posi-Tone. На альбоме Directions & Expressions - Направления и выражения они отдают дань уважения Miles Davis, как композитору. Он получал множество похвал как трубач, новатор и лидер групп, но мало как композитор. Поэтому были взяты мало известные треки и из уважения был сформирован секстет без трубача. То есть, в этом альбоме мы слышим мелодии сочиненные Майлзом Дэвисом в новых аранжировках и с модной подачей.В состав группы вошли тромбонист Эли Хауэлл, тенор-саксофонист Диего Ривера, вибрафонист Бен Гиллес, пианист Арт Хирахара, басист Борис Козлов и барабанщик Винни Сперрацца. Состав поменялся совсем немного и я вам советую посетить мою предыдущую рецензию 2022 года, которая была посвящена Чарлзу Мингусу под названием MYTH & WISDOM - МИФЫ И МУДРОСТЬ.Композиции взяты из 50-х (пять) и середины 60-х (четыре) и одна 1983 года. Бывалые джазмены конечно узнают знакомые пьесы, а для молодежи я отмечу от куда были взяты эти вещи:1. Boplicity была написана Майлзом и Гилом Эвансом для альбома Birth of the Cool в 1957 году.2. Somethin' Else является заглавной композицией альбома Кэннонболла Эддерли 1958 года, одного из немногих, где Майлз был сайдменом.Следующие три композиции были первоначально исполнены Вторым великим квинтетом Майлза:3. Circle из альбома Miles Smiles 1967 года, 4. Stuff из альбома Miles in the Sky 1968 года и 5. Agitation из альбома E.S.P. 1965 года. 6. Generique была написана для французского фильма в 1958 году.7. Lazy Susan/Half Nelson появилась на альбоме Майлза 1952 года Young Man with a Horn, как раз в период бибопа.8. La Suite de Kilimajaro взята из альбома 1968 года Filles de Kilimajaro. Она длится более двенадцати минут, позволяет каждому участнику раскрыться в полной мере и это было на пороге электрического периода Майлза, но с любовью к блюзу.9. Fran Dance из альбома Kind of Blue, вероятно, самая известная композиция и, в некотором смысле, самая сложная для исполнения, учитывая почитаемую репутацию тех, кто играл на этом альбоме (Колтрейн, Кэннонболл, Билл Эванс/Уинтоа Келли, Пол Чемберс и Джимми Кобб). 10. U'n'l из альбома Star People 1983 года, гораздо более танцевальный и поп-ориентированный, чем другие треки.СЛУШАТЬ АЛЬБОМ - https://album.link/i/1882461238MYTH & WISDOM - https://t.me/discor/6322Лучший трек альбома в плей-листе JAZZ по-русски 9 на AppleMusic и SpotifyПоставь лайк ❤️ и подпишись на канал JAZZ по-русски https://t.me/discor

Episode 3022: Allison Carmen reflects on how a teaching from Thich Nhat Hanh changed the way she responds to her children's difficult moods and behavior. By replacing blame with understanding and compassion, she discovered a calmer, more peaceful approach to parenting that helped her family navigate emotional moments with greater ease and connection. Read along with the original article(s) here: http://www.allisoncarmen.com/can-understanding-help-us-deal-with-our-childrens-moods/ Quotes to ponder: “Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument.” “If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change” “My change of perspective helped me give up the idea that things are not as they should be.” Episode references: Thich Nhat Hanh: https://plumvillage.org/about/thich-nhat-hanh Learn more about your ad choices.

In our world, love rules. It is the highest attribute, with fundamental characteristics of all humankind. Perhaps the finest expression of love is: MOTHER LOVE. The definition of mother, a real mother is simply put: LOVE. A mother's love is the ultimate human love. It is said that THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE RULES THE WORLD. Perhaps so because so much of a child is formed in the early years by mother. One is in life so much of what a mother was. A real mother is part of the life of a child forever. What we learn at mother's knee is so often what we are. Her values become ours. We are HER. The egg of a woman is the source of all life, the fundamental stuff of the universe and when fertilized by the sperm of the male: LIFE. The most precious thing of all happens. The egg and the sperm unite and become one, but it is GOD who gives life. At that very moment of conception, the life of a HUMAN BEING begins. That life is not a mere collection of cells as one biologist so flippantly said, but in reality, the first moments of the life of a human being, a child on the grow in the womb. That fertilized egg is a BABY. So much for abortion, which is nothing more than murder of that baby at any stage in the womb. And so, the mother begins mothering, and the baby grows. The enriched womb of the mother nourishes and cherishes the baby, sensitive to every need. The morning sickness is a small price to pay for the life within. Moods and diets may change as the womb grows large and beautiful. It is really wondrous to behold the change of mother in the making with that womb at work. It is marvelous indeed to touch the nine month home of that child. The ear presses down, hoping to hear any sound from the baby. Touching, hearing, kissing, and sensing life at work are really more important than any ultrasound. God at work through Mother Nature creating life is wondrous, even miraculous. Some today are actually privileged to see the baby born. Out of the womb comes a bundle of joy, of life and yet another miracle happens. The pain of childbirth is so well worth the end result. Perhaps it is the most loving moment, the ultimate loving moment when brand new baby lays firm on mother's breasts. Having seen that, how I wonder could any potential mother abort, kill her very own child? To do so is to abort a miracle. Early on, it is the still, small voice of the mother which is perhaps the greatest teacher in life. We the infants hear that voice and remember what the voice of our mother sounds like and says for a lifetime. We do so consciously and perhaps even more importantly subconsciously. That loving voice in many ways is angelic, the early words of love. They come with touch, and they are spiritual, psychological, character forming and building. The love of a mother is every bit as important as food itself. So, in a sense, these early words are eternal for they train up the child in the way the mother wishes the child to go and to grow is not to depart from the right ways of the mother. The words of a mother to her child are melodic, soothing, comforting. They support, encourage and they make a child feel safe. A mother touches, hugs, strokes, talks and sings to her baby, episodes never to be forgotten. When all else fails and all others as well, a truly loving mother never does. She is forever, eternal. A loving mother is kind. In a world rough and confrontational, the kindness of the mother is a most necessary characteristic. A loving mother is never jealous, never envious, always willing to put the child first, in love. A real loving mother is proud of her child no matter what the child becomes. Motherly love is always positive, not negative. It looks for the best, the good and the right. But the mother renders discipline when things are wrong. The love of a real mother is tough love. That love has standards, clear, straight and simply and lovingly communicated. Real love is without compromise. A loving mother never bargains with a child. A mother explains and answers perhaps better than any teacher, helping a child to understand. A mother stretches but never pushes knowing that her child must be challenged in order to grow. There is always demand and discipline from the right mother, both easy to implement when the child knows he or she is: LOVED A loving, Godly mother makes certain her child understands her standards and values and those of God as well. A loving Godly mother teaches the child the things of her Lord. Train up that child in the ways of faith, of Christian faith, the faith of the mother. There is no better witness for the child than a loving Christian mother, living life by those standards and the child along with her. That is faith with works, the best kind. A real loving mother gives time, quality time to the child. There is for mother and child that quality time to talk and much more importantly, and especially for mother, to: LISTEN. In an age of cell phones, babysitters, fast foods, carpools and demanding social life, all of that and everything else should never, ever interfere with quality time spent by the mother with child. Truly listening, and touching, and hugging, and encouraging, respecting the child produces some of life's finest lessons. Those bonding moments are, as one psychologist has well said: PEAK MOMENTS. Never to be forgotten by either. Patient, kind and understanding. Truly interested in the life of a child, not superficially so. Perhaps that is why so many mothers wished more than ever, so we are told, to stay home, build that home for husband and child and all children and to spend full time training up that child in the way in which he should go. That is what mothers are for and no other job can ever come close to that incredible responsibility and opportunity. No matter the love, child rearing is work, and hard work. It demands the time of the mother at all times. The real needs of a young child are great and they demand full time, mother always on the ready. How beautiful it is for father and husband to watch the baby breastfeed. How beautiful to see mother and child so intimately and sensitively connected. There is special nourishment from the milk of the breast but there is also the psychological nourishment, the nourishment of love and bonding, one with each other, the young and often subconscious memories lasting for a lifetime. A mother's touch, feel and taste are vitally important to the growth of the child. Some mothers homeschool. They want to train up that child in the right ways themselves. Others work to send the child to special schools, private schools or schools of faith. Loving mothers are more than willing to sacrifice to accomplish the right objectives for the child they love. And all the while, a mother encourages the love of a father for child and the child for the father. There is respect, as important as love, between mother and father, husband and wife. There is a sense of equality as both parents love their child in different ways. Perhaps the love of a father for a child is different but as the child grows and matures, the love, the real love of a real father becomes as important to the child as that of the mother. Without both loves, something fundamental is missing. So that, when a child is ready for the world, and independence, and a life for itself, both loving parents have formed the young adult and are ready proudly so to watch a brand new life unfold. They have earned, these loving parents have, the right to be proud parents. Small wonder that loving children love to give back. There comes a time when the priorities are reversed and the child becomes the support, the loving support of the parents. Loving children love to give back to loving parents. That love which began in the womb is eternal. It never fails. It outlasts faith, and hope and all the wisdom and riches of the world. It endures forever even as the love of Christ does. And so it is with the deepest admiration, respect and love that we, all of us at Crawford Broadcasting Company, salute all real loving mothers on Mother's Day and all year long. If you are a loving mother: YOU ARE SPECIAL. There is one day set aside to honor loving mothers which in reality should be done every day of the year. We are admonished, commanded to: HONOR OUR FATHER AND MOTHER. It is a commandment that we honor real loving parents with our love and respect. Give back the love you owe to your mother. Give it back with tears, with laughter and with joy. With gratitude and thanksgiving for all that she has done for you. Let her know how much you love and appreciate her, knowing as you do that you can never repay the loving debt you owe. No child can ever give back all that he or she has gotten. Never. If she is here, make sure she gets what she deserves. There are so many mothers, like mine, not here. My mother is with her Lord as she has been for more than a quarter century. How much I would love the opportunity to give her one more hug. Do that for yours while you can. We salute you and thank you, mother. There is really nothing like you in this world: NOTHING!

This month on the Inside Out Leadership Podcast, I take a deeper look at our emotional state—and why it matters more than we often realize. If we want to live and lead with greater freedom—and truly surrender unhealthy control—we have to understand our moods. Because how we feel doesn't just affect us… it shapes how we show up for everyone around us. In this episode, I break down the connection between the brain and our emotions, including the role of neurotransmitters and how chemical imbalances can keep us stuck, holding on longer than we should, and leading from a place that isn't grounded or healthy. More importantly, I share practical ways to become more aware of your emotional patterns—and simple steps you can take to move toward greater balance, clarity, and freedom in both your life and leadership.

How does recognizing our deep physical and social connections change the way we understand human nature?University of Cincinnati philosophy and psychology professor Dr. Anthony Chemero joins host PJ Weary to challenge traditional Western philosophy and explore the embodied nature of cognition.Dr. Chemero unpacks his book Intertwined Creatures: The Embodied Cognitive Science of Self and Other. Together they discuss the intersection of cognitive science and feminist theory to show how deeply our environments and social circles shape who we are.In this conversation they explore: How feminist critiques of traditional philosophy reveal that our earliest experiences as infants are shared rather than isolated. The flaws of the Cartesian worldview that treats the self as a hidden mind sparsely connected to a mechanical body. Using the pub crawl from the movie The World's End to explain why viewing other people as unthinking blanks is a fundamental failure of understanding humanity. What flushing toilets and far-from-equilibrium thermodynamics teach us about the self-organizing nature of human behavior. The physical and social constraints that effortlessly coordinate our actions when we move a sofa or dance with another person. The concept of shared public moods and how our emotions are often collective rather than purely internal.This is a conversation for anyone interested in psychology and philosophy who wants to break free from the illusion of isolation and embrace a deeply connected human experience.Make sure to check out Dr. Chemero's book: Intertwined Creatures: The Embodied Cognitive Science of Self and Other

In Day 7 of Mood Mastery the Samurai Way, inspired by the steady-minded wisdom of Miyamoto Musashi, you'll complete the week with a gentle review and integration practice. This episode guides you to reflect on what shifted for you—what steadied your mood, what helped you return to calm, and what you want to carry forward—so the progress you made becomes something your body remembers. You'll briefly revisit the week's tools—your equanimity affirmation, Samurai breathing, Prithvi Mudra for clarity, and Second Chakra flow—then choose a simple "carry-forward" ritual you can repeat in just a few minutes. Leave feeling grounded in your growth, clear about what works for you, and quietly confident stepping into the next week with more balance and inner command. Focus: Weekly review + integration Best for: strengthening consistency, emotional balance, self-trust, and sustainable calm Takeaway: Mood mastery isn't perfection—it's practice, reflection, and a steady return. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to Mastering Your Moods—a meditation series designed to help you stop feeling at the mercy of your emotions and start feeling steady, clear, and in charge of how you respond. Moods can shift fast—one message, one memory, one stressful moment—and suddenly you're anxious, irritated, heavy, or overwhelmed. In this series, you'll learn how to work with your nervous system instead of against it, using simple daily practices that help you regulate in real time—so you can come back to yourself without spiraling, snapping, or shutting down. This isn't about pretending you're fine; it's about building emotional skill: noticing what you feel, understanding what's underneath it, and shifting your state with calm, practical tools you can actually use in your real life.

In Day 6 of Mood Mastery the Samurai Way, inspired by the calm discipline of Miyamoto Musashi, we bring everything together in a layered meditation designed to help you return to center quickly and gently. You'll combine the week's key techniques—equanimity affirmation (light + shadow), Samurai breathing for calm focus, Prithvi Mudra for clarity, and Second Chakra (Sacral) flow—into one cohesive practice you can use whenever your mood starts to swing or your mind feels pulled in too many directions. This is your "whole system" meditation: steady the breath, anchor the body, clear the mind, and soften emotional resistance—so you can respond with quiet strength and graceful balance. Leave feeling calmer, clearer, and more emotionally regulated—ready to meet life with steadiness rather than reactivity. Featured practice: Layering affirmation + Samurai breath + Prithvi Mudra + Sacral Chakra flow Best for: overstimulation, mood swings, scattered focus, emotional overload, decision fatigue Takeaway: Steadiness isn't something you find—it's something you practice and return to.

In Day 5 of Mood Mastery the Samurai Way, inspired by the steady inner discipline of Miyamoto Musashi, we focus on the Second Chakra (Sacral Chakra)—the center of emotional flow, creativity, and resilience. When moods feel stuck, heavy, or unpredictable, it often helps to soften control and allow feelings to move through you with calm attention. This meditation guides you to reconnect with the body's natural fluidity, easing emotional tension and restoring a steadier, more graceful relationship with what you feel. Leave this practice feeling lighter, more open, and more emotionally balanced—able to meet the day with quiet flexibility rather than resistance. Featured focus: Second Chakra (Sacral Chakra) for emotional balance and flow Best for: moodiness, emotional tightness, creative blocks, irritability, feeling "stuck" or drained Takeaway: Balance isn't forcing calm—it's allowing emotions to move with steadiness.

In Day 4 of Mood Mastery the Samurai Way, inspired by the steady presence of Miyamoto Musashi, you'll practice Prithvi Mudra (Earth Mudra) to cultivate clarity when your mind feels noisy or your emotions feel heavy. This simple hand gesture—ring finger and thumb gently touching—becomes a quiet anchor that helps you return to your center, steady your attention, and soften mental clutter. Rather than forcing answers, you'll create the inner conditions where clarity can naturally arise: grounded, calm, and unhurried. Leave this practice feeling more settled in your body, clearer in your mind, and more confident in your next step. Featured technique: Prithvi Mudra for clarity and steadiness Best for: mental fog, scattered focus, indecision, emotional overwhelm, feeling pulled in many directions Takeaway: Clarity doesn't come from pushing—it comes from returning to center.

Day 3 of Mood Mastery the Samurai Way is a practice for calm under pressure. Today you'll learn a Samurai Breathing Technique—a steady, disciplined breath pattern designed to help you interrupt emotional reactivity, settle your nervous system, and return to clear focus when your mood starts to surge. This is the kind of practice you can use in real life: before a difficult conversation, when you feel rushed, or the moment you notice yourself spiraling. You'll leave this episode feeling more centered, composed, and in command of your response—quiet strength, not forced positivity. Featured technique: Samurai Breathing Technique (a structured breath pattern for steadiness) Best for: stress spikes, irritability, anxious overthinking, emotional overwhelm, scattered focus Takeaway: You don't need perfect conditions to feel steady—you need a practiced return. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to Mastering Your Moods—a meditation series designed to help you stop feeling at the mercy of your emotions and start feeling steady, clear, and in charge of how you respond. Moods can shift fast—one message, one memory, one stressful moment—and suddenly you're anxious, irritated, heavy, or overwhelmed. In this series, you'll learn how to work with your nervous system instead of against it, using simple daily practices that help you regulate in real time—so you can come back to yourself without spiraling, snapping, or shutting down. This isn't about pretending you're fine; it's about building emotional skill: noticing what you feel, understanding what's underneath it, and shifting your state with calm, practical tools you can actually use in your real life.

In Day 2 of Mood Mastery the Samurai Way, inspired by the steady-minded wisdom of Miyamoto Musashi, you'll practice emotional balance through a single powerful affirmation: "I embrace both light and shadow with equanimity." This episode helps you stop fighting your feelings and start meeting them with calm presence—so a tough mood doesn't derail your day and a good mood doesn't make you fear what comes next. You'll be guided to hold both confidence and vulnerability, clarity and uncertainty, without tipping into reactivity or self-judgment. Leave this practice feeling more centered, grounded, and quietly strong—like you can face whatever arises and stay steady within yourself. Featured technique: Affirmation for equanimity Best for: mood swings, overthinking, emotional reactivity, self-criticism, feeling "too much" Takeaway: You don't have to control your emotions to master them—you only need to meet them with steadiness.

I haven't posted on this feed since April 2025. In that time, I became a mother. And I went underground to build something.For years, I told you stories to help you sleep. But I realized I wanted to build a tool that would help you wake up—not to the world, but to yourself. This is the evolution of this podcast. I didn't leave; I was building a sanctuary. It is called MOODS.The waitlist opens tomorrow, Wednesday, Jan 21. We're admitting members in strict, small batches.If you have missed this voice, you belong here: https://moods.world/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If your body feels tired, foggy or unfamiliar, this conversation might change how you see yourself. January can feel like a strange in-between. The world is telling us to reset, optimise, and transform. But our bodies are often saying something much quieter: I'm tired. I need care. I need kindness. In this episode, Zoe sits down with Dr Mindy Pelz for a conversation that feels less like “health advice” and more like a deep exhale. Together, they explore what's really going on for mothers beneath the brain fog, the overwhelm, the resentment, the stubborn changes in our bodies – and why so many of us feel like we're failing, when actually our bodies are doing exactly what they were designed to do. Dr Mindy gently reframes stress, hormones and fatigue, helping us understand why women's bodies respond so differently to pressure, why putting ourselves last comes at a cost, and why self-care isn't something to squeeze in once everything else is done. They also talk about fasting – not as a rule or restriction, but as a way of working with the female body rather than against it – and how it can support clarity, calm and energy when done with care and context. And perhaps most powerfully, this conversation reclaims perimenopause and menopause as something rarely spoken about in this way: not an ending, but a powerful rewiring. A time when the brain begins to let go of people-pleasing, external validation and over-functioning – and moves us towards leadership, confidence and deep self-trust. This episode is an invitation to step into the year differently.To stop fixing yourself.To start listening to yourself. In this episode, you'll hear about: Why stress underpins so much of how mothers feel in their bodies and minds How women's bodies and brains are uniquely wired through motherhood and midlife What self-care, fasting and strength really look like when done with compassion Why midlife can be a powerful return to clarity, confidence and self-trust

Episode Description: What if the biggest risk to your project isn’t technical—it’s conversational? Most engineering projects fail not because of flawed plans or inadequate technology, but because teams aren’t having the right conversations about trust, coordination, and care. In this episode, Jason Klous, Principal at Midion with over 30 years in complex construction projects, reveals the Language Action Perspective—a framework that transforms how teams communicate and coordinate. Jason shares why the most technically skilled people often struggle with the most critical conversations, how to rebuild trust when it’s broken, and the surprising power of assessments delivered with care. Whether you’re leading a multi-million dollar construction project or navigating difficult conversations at home, this episode will change how you think about communication as the foundation of success. Key Takeaways: The missing conversations kill projects: Technically sound projects fail when teams don’t discuss trust, psychological safety, and coordination—not because of poor planning or inadequate software. Trust has specific domains: When trust breaks down, identify whether the issue is reliability, competence, or sincerity. Once you know which domain is lacking, you can develop a targeted plan to rebuild it. Moods are contagious and foundational: Teams fall into moods unconsciously, and those moods influence listening, trust, and coordination. Identifying and shifting moods can transform project outcomes. Assessments strengthen relationships when delivered with care: The most difficult feedback, when delivered to improve the relationship (not damage it), often brings relief and reveals more about the person delivering it than the person receiving it. Write it down before difficult conversations: To avoid “talking around” the issue, write down what you need to say. This helps you be more direct while maintaining care and candor.

Questions? Comments?Today's show turns a national mood ring into a money lesson. Don and Tom walk through a new Wall Street Journal/NORC survey that sorts Americans into four emotional quadrants—comfortable optimists, comfortable pessimists, stressed optimists, and stressed pessimists. Tom takes the quiz live, landing squarely where most Americans do: personally comfortable, broadly pessimistic. The two unpack why sentiment is so gloomy despite solid personal finances, how risk tolerance shifts with market cycles, and why feelings often overpower facts. Listener questions follow on retirement diversification, how much risk one really needs if Social Security covers the bills, whether younger investors should ever be 100% in stocks, and the practical challenges of automatic withdrawals from ETF-based portfolios.0:04 Don's intro and NPR-style location banter1:08 Why the episode is about how we feel about money1:40 Explaining the four sentiment quadrants in the WSJ/NORC poll3:12 Tom begins the quiz: current financial satisfaction4:23 Confidence levels across jobs, savings, and expenses6:04 Vacations, stock market reactions, and financial worry8:10 Comparing today's challenges to parents' generation9:18 Buying a home, marriage, caregiving10:07 Rating the strength of the U.S. economy10:46 Optimism about the future and “the American dream”11:26 Expectations for the next year and future generations13:06 Results: Tom is a “comfortable pessimist”14:44 Why pessimism dominates the national mood15:16 What individuals can—and can't—control about tomorrow16:29 Listener question: retiring at 63 with mixed assets and too much cash19:14 How risk tolerance should drive allocation, not income sources20:35 Fixing the portfolio's biggest issue: excess high-yield savings21:54 Listener question: should a 47-year-old investor be 100% stocks?23:11 Why very few people can stomach a 50% decline23:59 The case for diversification even when accumulating24:44 Listener question: automatic ETF withdrawals in retirement26:15 Annual or semiannual rebalancing as a solution27:28 ETFs vs. mutual funds: cost vs. convenience29:13 Year-end cleanup and planning habitsLearn more about your ad choices.
