This week I'm joined by Amy Marie Hann, better known online as The Activated ADHD Mama. Amy's an ADHD coach, community leader, and author who specializes in helping ADHD moms wrangle the boring, repetitive tasks that tend to bury us, things like dishes, meal planning, and remembering to call in prescription refills. In our conversation, we talk about why traditional productivity advice often doesn't work for ADHD brains and why these mundane tasks can create so much stress and shame. We dig into some of Amy's strategies that helps people build realistic systems to make those things easier and how starting with just three daily tasks can create stability when your brain constantly craves novelty. We talk about capacity, executive function burnout, and how to reframe self-care and rest as functional tools instead of guilt trips.

Pay attention to your natural energy rhythms and give yourself permission to do less when you're depleted. It's often not about how long a task takes but about how hard it feels. Build self-compassion by celebrating when you complete these high-resistance tasks and noticing the effort you've put in. There is a distinction between rest and numbing, so we need to plan intentional rest that actually restores our energy. ADHD rest is often about lowering stimulation, not eliminating it. Try for something gentle but engaging enough that your brain doesn't go looking for a dopamine hit elsewhere.
n episode 555 of The Perceptive Photographer, I celebrate what I like to call “magic number day” by exploring the creative power of photographing the familiar. I share some personal stories about finding inspiration close to home and talk about how so many great photographers discovered beauty in the everyday. There's something deeply rewarding about turning the camera toward what we already know—the people, places, and routines that shape our lives. When we slow down and really see those moments, we uncover meaning, connection, and a quiet kind of magic that's been waiting for us all along.
This week's spooky season offering dives past the whole haunted house experience to go deeper. What if the haunting was more specific? An attic or cellar is well known trope, but what about a playground? A nursery? A clock or a mirror? What do those things say about the state of the main character's mind in storytelling? And what exactly is the quiet terror of the mundane more effective than dripping gore and howling monsters? Jules and Madeleine tackle these questions and more. On the slab this week: Rebekah - Daphne du Maurier, The Yellow Wallpaper - Charlotte Perkins Gilman, The Scald Crow - Grace Daly and many more

Welcome back to Happy & Healthy! In this super honest episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and fellow content creator, Dani Austin Ramirez. We go way back — like 2014 YouTube quirky days
In this episode we interviewTommy Brown, a pastor and author, about his new book, The Speed of Soul: Four Rhythms for a Quiet Life in a World of Noise. We explore themes of life transitions, the healing power of water, the significance of everyday work, and the importance of simplicity and mindfulness in a complex world. Tommy emphasizes the need to revise our understanding of work, the role of technology, and the value of community and connection. The discussion culminates in a reflection on living a life of integrity and embracing the journey of faith. Takeaways The best day on the water is any day. Water has a healing and resetting power. What we do now matters, even when unnoticed. Following Jesus is simple but impossible without help. Multitasking doesn't work; focus on one thing. Love deeply, live quietly, and mind your own business. The kingdom of God is right here, in our everyday lives. Words matter; they can call out the good in others. We need to make a family out of no family. You can live quietly and love deeply.

Listen along as we continue our series through the book of Acts. Notes//Quotes: Acts 14:1-28 Assumption: Every day for Jesus' first followers were God-soaked. Something is wrong with me, or I am doing something wrong because I don't have many God-soaked days. Reality: Scripture authors recorded a truncated history to show us who God is. Jesus and the first followers experienced many mundane days. Contextualization is not - as is often argued - ‘telling people what they want to hear.' Rather, it is giving people the Bible's answers, which they may not at all want to hear, to questions about life that people in their particular place and time are asking, in language and forms they can comprehend, and through appeals and arguments with force they can feel, even if they reject them - Tim Keller

Let's be real . . . Motherhood is overwhelming for anyone. But I've recently learned that if you're a mom with ADHD, sometimes even the most basic tasks — like folding laundry, starting dinner, or replying to one more school email — can feel paralyzing.

In this episode of Chick Chat, I sat down with Amy Marie Hann, a mom, coach, and author of the upcoming book Master the Mundane, to talk about what it really looks like to manage motherhood, home, and family life with ADHD.

The notes app on your phone can be a repository of the quotidian aspects of life – a grocery list or reminder about a doctor's appointment. But these notes can also be revealing, intimate and beautiful. It might contain a cache of private thoughts and feelings – the fragmented summary of a bad dream, the first line of a poem, or ideas for how to propose to your partner. This juxtaposition of the mundane with the meaningful is one reason artist Rel Robinson felt compelled to put together the new collection, “iPhone Notes,” which gathers the ephemera captured in the notes app of local artists and writers. We talk about how the notes app can be a reflection of self, and we invite you to share your notes. Guests: Brontez Purnell, author, "Ten Bridges I've Burnt: A Memoir in Verse" and "100 Boyfriends" Rel Robinson, writer and artist; editor of "iPhone Notes," created as part of Conventional Projects Rita Bullwinkel, author, "Belly Up" and "Headshot" Learn more about your ad choices.

Embark on an illuminating journey with Nicholas Giannasi in this episode, where Mason guides a profound and deeply insightful conversation that seamlessly weaves together ancient spiritual concepts with their tangible, practical applications in the fabric of everyday existence. This is not merely a surface-level discussion; it's an exploration that delves into the very heart of what it means to be human, to err, and to transcend. From the nuanced and often misunderstood true meaning of forgiveness—revealed not as a mere act of absolution, but as a dynamic interplay of understanding and compassion—to the profound yet accessible importance of humility in an increasingly self-promotional world, Nicholas shares wisdom that resonates deeply. The conversation gracefully flows through the inevitability of change, emphasizing how embracing impermanence can liberate us from suffering and foster a deeper appreciation for the present moment. Mason and Nicholas collectively peel back the layers, revealing how ancient wisdom, distilled through centuries of profound contemplation and practice, offers an indispensable compass to navigate the intricate and often turbulent waters of the modern world. They invite listeners to discover how these timeless truths can not only illuminate our individual paths but also foster greater harmony and meaning in our lives, making the sacred visible in even the most mundane of activities. This episode promises to be a transformative listen, encouraging a shift in perspective that allows for greater peace, understanding, and authentic engagement with life's rich tapestry. Episode Highlights: 00:01:34 - Forgiveness and Compassion: Nicholas emphasizes that true forgiveness comes from understanding another's suffering (compassion), which is love with understanding. He suggests stopping the effort to forgive and instead looking into the other person's suffering, creating space for understanding. 00:03:23 - The Importance of Space: Meditation and creating "space" are crucial for spiritual practice and achieving genuine understanding and forgiveness. 00:05:00 - Non-Clinging to "I, Me, Mine": Drawing from Buddhist teachings, Nicholas highlights that suffering arises from clinging to the illusion of a separate "I, me, or mine." True wholeness and appreciation of interconnectedness come from dropping this self-identity. 00:32:00 - The Mundane is Sacred: Both speakers agree that everyday life and seemingly mundane tasks (like "chop wood, carry water") are part of spiritual practice and that true spiritual growth doesn't necessarily mean escaping worldly obligations. 00:18:12 - Preparing for Death: The conversation touches on impermanence and preparing for death by living a grateful and aware life, free from fear and attachment. 00:13:51 - The Role of a Sense of Humor: A sense of humor is presented as an important aspect of the spiritual journey, helping to navigate suffering and the absurdities of life without becoming cynical. 00:44:10 - Jing, Qi, and Shen: The concept of Jing, Qi, and Shen is discussed, with Nicholas emphasizing that healing the soul (Shen) first allows the mind and body (Qi and Jing) to follow. Connecting with a "higher Jing" or the Dao through practice is key. 00:50:04 - Avoiding Over-Complication: Nicholas stresses keeping spiritual practices simple, as the Dao itself is "extremely simple." He notes that attachment to material possessions and the desire for wealth can lead to emptiness and unhappiness.

When was the last time you felt the presence of God? I'm talking about “a calm in the middle of the storm” kind of peace that just rushes over you. The kind of peace that you shouldn't have based on your circumstances, yet somehow it covers you completely. What if I told you [...]
Send us a textWelcome to Laundromat Resource! In today's episode, host Jordan Berry spins us through the fascinating role of laundromats in pop culture. From the hum of fluorescent lights to the rhythmic spin of washers, laundromats are more than just pit stops for dirty laundry—they're cinematic, emotional stages where stories unfold. Jordan explores why these humble spaces keep appearing in our favorite movies, TV shows, music videos, and novels—as backdrops for life's pivotal moments, transformations, and unexpected connections.We'll dive into iconic scenes from films like Fight Club and Moonlight, memorable sitcom moments with Ross and Rachel in Friends, and even the metaphors baked into Breaking Bad. Laundromats, as Jordan reveals, are liminal spaces—transitions between jobs, relationships, and versions of ourselves, where authenticity and self-reflection take center stage. Whether filled with tension, tenderness, or laughter, laundromats mirror who we are in moments when no one's looking.So, grab your basket and settle in as we explore why laundromats remain powerful symbols in storytelling—and what they reveal about our humanity, one spin cycle at a time.In this episode; Jordan discuss:00:00 Laundromats: Cinematic Pop Culture Icons05:37 "Laundromats: Liminal, Mundane, Meaningful"Show noteshttps://www.laundromatresource.com/show210/Connect With UsYouTubeInstagramFacebookLinkedInTwitterTikTok
