Podcasts about new beginnings

Today we are revisiting a powerful conversation from the With Whit archives with holistic psychiatrist Dr. Ellen Vora that still deeply resonates. In it, Dr. Vora unpacks the difference between "true" and "false" anxiety and how our bodies often hold the clues to what we're feeling. We get into how physical imbalances like sleep, hormones, and blood sugar can affect our mental health, and how learning to listen to our bodies can help us respond with more clarity and compassion. With so many of us navigating stress and uncertainty, this conversation feels more relevant than ever- and the perfect time to revisit. This episode is brought to you by HERS and Sam Edelman.

In this solo deep-dive episode, Dr. Alexandra will be exploring rebounds. Maybe you are fresh out of a breakup and you've crossed paths with someone you're interested in, but you're scared that pursuing this feels “rebound-y” and therefore foolish. Maybe you're seeing someone who is recently out of a relationship and you're worried about becoming their rebound. Maybe you've had concerns about a rebounding couple in your world. Or maybe you're simply curious about the process of healing between relationships. Wherever you're coming from, this episode will surely leave you with a unique and nuanced perspective on healing before entering a new relationship that will be useful to you. First, Dr. Alexandra will talk about rebound relationships and dig into the rhetoric around them, including some surprising research that may run counter to the typical view of rebound relationships (and then some caveats to this research - shades of grey galore!). With this groundwork laid out, she is then going to offer you a 9-Task framework for doing a rebound with Relational Self-Awareness – how to keep a new relationship healthy while also continuing to process whatever your previous relationship left you with. And if you're the partner of someone who is rebounding, you can repurpose the framework for your own situation.

We've seen in Exodus that things have gone terribly wrong for the people of Israel. They've broken the sacred covenant by making an idol and worshipping it. What will God do in the face of such failure? What about when WE fail? Come this week and see God's astonishing response in Exodus 34 and how it relates to us. God is the God of second chances and new beginnings! Thank God He is!  Exodus 34

Welcome to the Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher Podcast, hosted by Maurice Harker—a faith-based resource for those striving to strengthen their marriages and develop greater self-mastery through gospel-centered principles.Important note: This podcast and its programs are not officially affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They are created by those who strive to live its teachings and apply them to real-life challenges.In this episode, Maurice explores the gospel psychology of new beginnings—and why many people get stuck believing their story is “finished,” their identity work is “done,” or their mistakes define their future.This conversation covers powerful, practical principles for personal healing, recovery, and family hope, including:Why your identity statement should be a ritual (review + revise), not a one-time projectRepentance as re-harmonizing with God (not “getting caught” or “being in trouble”)The “discover → plan → act → reflect” cycle as a divine training system for growthHow discouragement and shame can slow progress more than the actual mistakeRecognizing satanic self-talk and replacing it with edifying truth (Moroni 7)Finding hope when family members are off the covenant path—and trusting God's long timelineWhy healing is built through small daily steps, not one dramatic “light switch” momentChrist as the steady foundation when marriage, parenting, and life feel chaoticIf you feel stuck in guilt, fear, or discouragement—or you're carrying pain about your marriage or your children—this episode will help you reconnect to Christ's promise: you can begin again.For deeper training, visit www.lazaruslectures.com.

"Have faith. Let it begin." On his 48th birthday, host Angel Santana opens the mic with a laugh, a children's song, and a quiet truth: this moment—full of family, questions, and playful chaos—is also an invitation. As Ariel and Noah color the room with wonder, Angel turns ordinary domestic scenes into a sacred narrative about second chances and the life God keeps shaping. With gentle storytelling, he reframes birthdays as sacred checkpoints—opportunities to love better, forgive, heal, and step deeper into purpose. He speaks to listeners like an old friend, blending gratitude and vulnerability to nudge anyone listening toward a step of faith. Join the Have Faith family in this short, intimate episode for birthday reflections, a prayerful reminder that your story isn't finished, and a hopeful call to believe that God is not done with you yet.

Transcript:Sv: I Gamla Stan, Stockholm, var våren på väg.En: In Gamla Stan, Stockholm, spring was on its way.Sv: Snön smälte bort från de gamla kullerstensgatorna och små butiker visade upp sina vårkollektioner i färgglada skyltfönster.En: The snow was melting off the old cobblestone streets, and small shops displayed their spring collections in colorful shop windows.Sv: Lukas och Elin promenerade tillsammans genom de trånga gränderna, båda på jakt efter nya kläder för den kommande säsongen.En: Lukas and Elin walked together through the narrow alleys, both on the hunt for new clothes for the upcoming season.Sv: Lukas, en praktisk person som alltid var medveten om sin budget, sneglade på de trendiga kläderna som hängde i skyltfönstret.En: Lukas, a practical person always conscious of his budget, glanced at the trendy clothes hanging in the shop window.Sv: Hans hjärta klappade lite snabbare.En: His heart beat a little faster.Sv: Han ville göra ett gott intryck på någon speciell, men han visste inte riktigt hur.En: He wanted to make a good impression on someone special, but he wasn't quite sure how.Sv: "Du måste prova något nytt", sa Elin glatt.En: "You have to try something new," said Elin cheerfully.Sv: Hon pekade på en färgglad jacka med stilrena detaljer.En: She pointed at a colorful jacket with sleek details.Sv: "Den där skulle passa dig perfekt."En: "That would suit you perfectly."Sv: Lukas var tveksam.En: Lukas was hesitant.Sv: "Jag vet inte, Elin.En: "I don't know, Elin.Sv: Min stil är mer… enkel."En: My style is more… simple."Sv: "Nonsens!En: "Nonsense!Sv: Vår är tiden för förändring", insisterade Elin.En: Spring is the time for change," insisted Elin.Sv: "Kläder handlar inte bara om utseende.En: "Clothes aren't just about appearance.Sv: Det handlar om att känna sig bra."En: It's about feeling good."Sv: Tveksam, men nyfiken, följde Lukas med Elin in i butiken.En: Hesitant but curious, Lukas followed Elin into the store.Sv: När de gick genom raderna av kläder, fyllde Elin sina armar med olika plagg för honom att prova.En: As they walked through rows of clothes, Elin filled her arms with various outfits for him to try on.Sv: Jackan hon först hade föreslagit såg verkligen intressant ut.En: The jacket she initially suggested did look intriguing.Sv: Efter att ha provat en mängd olika alternativ, stod Lukas framför spegeln iförd den där jackan.En: After trying on a variety of options, Lukas stood in front of the mirror wearing that jacket.Sv: Den var djärv och lite utanför hans komfortzon, men den satt perfekt och fick honom att känna sig annorlunda — självsäkrare.En: It was bold and a bit outside his comfort zone, but it fit perfectly and made him feel different — more confident.Sv: "Vad tycker du?"En: "What do you think?"Sv: frågade han osäkert.En: he asked uncertainly.Sv: Elin log brett.En: Elin beamed.Sv: "Helt fantastiskt!En: "Absolutely fantastic!Sv: Den ser bekväm ut också.En: It looks comfortable too.Sv: Tänk dig nu på en vårpromenad med den där."En: Now imagine yourself on a spring walk wearing that."Sv: Men Lukas tittade på prislappen och drabbades av tvekan igen.En: But Lukas looked at the price tag and hesitated again.Sv: Jackan var dyrare än han hade tänkt sig.En: The jacket was more expensive than he had planned.Sv: "Är det verkligen värt det?"En: "Is it really worth it?"Sv: undrade han.En: he wondered.Sv: "Ibland," svarade Elin, "är det värt att spendera lite mer för något som får en att må bra."En: "Sometimes," replied Elin, "it's worth spending a little more on something that makes you feel good."Sv: Det fanns något i hennes ord som träffade rätt.En: There was something in her words that struck the right chord.Sv: Han bestämde sig för att köpa jackan, trots att det innebar att han gick över sin budget.En: He decided to buy the jacket, even though it meant going over his budget.Sv: Det var bara pengar, och den glädje och säkerhet han kände var ovärderlig.En: It was just money, and the joy and confidence he felt were priceless.Sv: När de lämnade butiken, kände Lukas en ny vårbris svepa över Gamla Stan.En: As they left the store, Lukas felt a new spring breeze sweep over Gamla Stan.Sv: Jackan kändes som en andra hud och han kände sig plötsligt redo att omfamna både våren och nya möjligheter.En: The jacket felt like a second skin, and he suddenly felt ready to embrace both spring and new opportunities.Sv: Han insåg att ibland kan små risker leda till stora förändringar.En: He realized that sometimes, small risks can lead to big changes.Sv: Och så gick de vidare, Lukas med ett nytt självförtroende i stegen, medan Elin gratulerade honom för hans mod att våga något nytt.En: And so they moved on, Lukas with newfound confidence in his step, while Elin

Lose yourself in the colors!"Hi: आरव ने पहले पहल थोड़ा झिझकते हुए रंग उठाया।En: Aarav hesitantly picked up the color at first.Hi: पर जैसे ही उसने प्रिया के चेहरे पर गुलाल लगाया, उसके दिल में एक अनोखी खुशी दौड़ गई।En: But as soon as he applied gulal on Priya's face, a unique joy rushed through his heart.Hi: प्रिया ने आरव को समझाया, "देखो, जीवन भी एक होली की तरह ही है। हर पल को खुलकर जीना चाहिए।"En: Priya explained to Aarav, "Look, life is just like Holi. Every moment should be lived openly."Hi: उनकी यह बात आरव के दिल में उतर गई।En: Her words touched Aarav's heart.Hi: रंगों के इस उत्सव में आरव ने कहीं न कहीं अपनी कला के लिए नई प्रेरणा पाई।En: In this festival of colors, Aarav found new inspiration for his art somewhere.Hi: प्रिया की ऊर्जा और जीवन के प्रति उसका नजरिया उसे भा गया।En: He was captivated by Priya's energy and her outlook on life.Hi: एक नए अहसास में बंधे, उन्होंने एक-दूसरे से फिर मिलने का वादा किया।En: Bound by a new feeling, they promised to meet again.Hi: होली के इस पर्व ने उन्हें सिर्फ रंगों से नहीं, बल्कि एक नई शुरुआत से जोड़ दिया था।En: This festival of Holi connected them not only with colors but with a new beginning.Hi: आरव की कला ने एक नया मोड़ लिया और प्रिया को ऐसे साथी का साथ मिला जो जीवन के हर रंग को उसके संग साझा करने वाला था।En: Aarav's art took a new turn, and Priya found a companion who would share every color of life with her.Hi: इस तरह, लोदी गार्डन के रंगमंच पर होली के रंगों में एक नई कहानी ने जन्म लिया।En: Thus, a new story was born amidst the colors at the stage of Lodi Garden on Holi.Hi: जीवन की सच्ची खूबसूरती शायद ऐसी ही होती है... सरल, सहज, और रंगीन।En: True beauty of life is perhaps just like this... simple, effortless, and colorful.

In this episode, host Ashley Blackington sits down with Caroline Benefield—digital marketer, stepparent, and someone who found herself living a decade of life in 18 months. Caroline shares what it really means to become the third parent in a blended family, how she navigated losing both parents while building a new family dynamic, and what happens when your dream job turns out not to be your dream.Between January 2022 and June 2023, Caroline got engaged, bought a house, moved in with her fiancé and his two kids, lost both parents, managed two estates as an only child, canceled her wedding, got married on her back porch, left corporate life, wrote a romance series, and started a digital marketing business. Through it all, she's been learning how to show up as a secure, trusted adult in her stepkids' lives—with boundaries, intention, and a lot of therapy.In This Episode-What it means to be "the third parent" in a blended family—not the replacement, not the villain, but an additional secure adult-Why Caroline's approach is about enhancing existing support rather than reinventing the wheel-How she and her husband decided which parenting responsibilities she'd take on—and which ones stay with the biological parents-The importance of moving into a new house together rather than slotting into an existing family home-Navigating grief while building a new family—losing her father after a decade-long decline and her mother suddenly within 18 months-Estate planning lessons: why her mom's organized estate closed in 9 months while her dad's is still open after 4 years-What happens when your dream job (becoming a romance author) turns out not to be your dream-Why she started a digital marketing business specifically for moms and women—the people shortest on time with the most to give-The fiber arts connection: how teaching the kids to crochet and needlepoint became a way to share something her own mom taught herKey Quotes"My job as a stepparent is not to reinvent the wheel in their lives. My job is to come in and give them extra support and resources to navigate all of the complications and emotions that come with little bodies and little brains."— Caroline Benefield"If you are not married to your partner and you don't intend to be, please, please set them up for success. Please set everything up."— Caroline Benefield on estate planningResources & LinksCaroline's website: southerngritdigital.comServices: Digital marketing for creatives, entrepreneurs, moms, and women (email marketing, compliance audits, digital ads, full-service packages) Action Steps for Listeners1. If you're dating someone with kids: Ask yourself if you can be a safe and secure adult in their lives. That's the starting point.2. If you're in a blended family: Have clear conversations about boundaries and responsibilities before integration gets messy. Who handles discipline? What decisions require both biological parents?3. Estate planning reminder: Set up rights of survivorship, trusts, and clear documentation. Even if you have a will, it's not enough if things have to go through probate.4. If you're a long-term partner but not married: Make sure you're set up legally. Your partner's kids will be next of kin, not you, unless paperwork says otherwise.5. Therapy isn't optional: Caroline, her husband, and their relationship all have their own therapy. It's how they navigate the hard stuff.6.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Nikolaj's Journey: From Solitude to Belonging in School Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2026-03-05-08-38-20-da Story Transcript:Da: På de kølige forårsdage, hvor vinterens skarpe kulde endnu svævede i luften, fandt Nikolaj sig selv i en overgang.En: On the cool spring days, when winter's sharp chill still lingered in the air, Nikolaj found himself in a transition.Da: Han stod foran den store, betongrå bygning, den lokale skole, hvis farverige indre adskilte sig fra det dystre ydre.En: He stood in front of the large, concrete-gray building, the local school, whose colorful interior contrasted with its somber exterior.Da: Nikolaj tog en dyb indånding og gik fremad, tøvende men beslutsom.En: Nikolaj took a deep breath and stepped forward, hesitant but determined.Da: De sidste par dage havde været blandet med forventning og frygt.En: The past few days had been mixed with anticipation and fear.Da: På børnehjemmet, hvor han boede, havde væggene et kendt knirk og tapetet skrællede af, men han havde lært at gemme sig selv i de skarve kroge, hvor rigtige venner var svære at finde.En: At the orphanage where he lived, the walls had a familiar creak and the wallpaper was peeling off, but he had learned to hide himself in its rough corners, where real friends were hard to find.Da: I skolens lyse korridorer blev han mødt af ukendte ansigter og travle stemmer.En: In the school's bright corridors, he was met by unfamiliar faces and busy voices.Da: Eleverne fyldte gangene, deres grin og samtaler føltes som en brusende elv, der rev ham med.En: The students filled the hallways, their laughs and conversations felt like a rushing river carrying him along.Da: Nikolaj trådte forsigtigt ind i klasseværelset, holdt et fast greb om sine bøger og scannede rummet for et venligt smil.En: Nikolaj cautiously entered the classroom, clutching his books firmly and scanning the room for a friendly smile.Da: Læreren præsenterede ham kort, og Nikolaj satte sig på en stol bagerst i klassen, halvt skjult fra de andres blik.En: The teacher briefly introduced him, and Nikolaj sat down on a chair at the back of the class, half-hidden from the others' gaze.Da: Hans skæve skuldre afslørede nervøsiteten, der tærede på ham, men han holdt fast i ønsket om at finde en ven.En: His slouched shoulders revealed the nervousness eating at him, but he held on to the hope of finding a friend.Da: I frokostpausen sank han ned på en bænk udenfor, med sin madpakke ubemærket ved siden af sig.En: During lunch break, he sank onto a bench outside, with his lunchbox unnoticed beside him.Da: Han overvejede, hvordan man kunne begynde at snakke med nogen.En: He contemplated how to start talking to someone.Da: En lille gruppe børn satte sig tæt ved, men hans øjne faldt specielt over Emilie.En: A small group of children sat nearby, but his eyes particularly landed on Emilie.Da: Hun så imødekommende ud, med et smil der strålede under forårets spæde sol.En: She looked welcoming, with a smile shining under the early spring sun.Da: Hans hjerte bankede hurtigere, da han endelig rejste sig.En: His heart beat faster as he finally stood up.Da: "Hej," sagde han stille, næsten som en hvisken, da han nærmede sig hende.En: "Hi," he said quietly, almost in a whisper, as he approached her.Da: "Må jeg sidde her?"En: "Can I sit here?"Da: Emilie så op, hendes øjne venlig og nysgerrige.En: Emilie looked up, her eyes friendly and curious.Da: "Selvfølgelig," sagde hun og skubbede lidt til side for at give ham plads.En: "Of course," she said, scooting a little to the side to make room for him.Da: "Jeg hedder Emilie, og det her er Soren," præsenterede hun, mens hun pegede på sin ven ved siden af.En: "I'm Emilie, and this is Soren," she introduced, pointing to her friend next to her.Da: Soren nikkede til Nikolaj, der nu mærkede spændingen slippe lidt i takt med deres velkomst.En: Soren nodded at Nikolaj, who now felt the tension ease a bit with their welcome.Da: De begyndte at snakke om skoledagen, om bøger, de kunne lide, og langsomt fandt Nikolaj sig bidrage til samtalen.En: They began talking about the school day, about books they liked, and slowly Nikolaj found himself contributing to the conversation.Da: Det viste sig, at Soren og Emilie var interesseret i nogle af de samme hobbyer som ham, og snart glemte han sin frygt for at være anderledes eller udenfor.En: It turned out that Soren and Emilie were interested in some of the same hobbies as him, and soon he forgot his fear of being different or an outsider.Da: De lo og delte historier, og han oplevede en følelse af tilhørighed, han længe havde ønsket sig.En: They laughed and shared stories, and he experienced a sense of belonging he had long wished for.Da: Da klokkerne ringede til slutningen af frokostpausen, følte Nikolaj sig let om hjertet.En: When the bells rang to signal the end of lunch break, Nikolaj felt light-hearted.Da: Med et smil gik han tilbage til klassen sammen med sine nye venner.En: With a smile, he returned to class with his new friends.Da: Det var starten på noget nyt, måske en vennekreds hvor han hørte til.En: It was the start of something new, perhaps a circle of friends where he belonged.Da: Nikolaj gik ud af skolen den dag med mere end han kom med; han bar på et håb og en begyndelse på venskaber.En: Nikolaj left the school that day with more than he arrived with; he carried hope and the beginning of friendships.Da: Det moderne skolemiljø, der før havde virket intimiderende, var nu et sted fyldt med ubegrænsede muligheder.En: The modern school environment, which had previously seemed intimidating, was now a place filled with unlimited possibilities.Da: Han

It's Tuesday, it's a new Hallmark movie. Giddy up! ABOUT ROMANCE AT HOPE RANCH Hope Morgan sets out to begin a new chapter of her life—fulfilling her childhood dream of running a ranch in the picturesque town of Ruidoso, New Mexico and reviving the beloved Giddy Up Gala. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR ROMANCE AT HOPE RANCH February 28. 2026 | Hallmark CAST & CREW OF ROMANCE AT HOPE RANCH Alison Sweeney as Hope Morgan Gabriel Hogan as Jack Bennet Scott Martin as Tom Grayson Stephanie Beran as Lori Bennet BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS We meet Hope who is dropping her daughter Maggie off at college. She's sad. She's crying. But she's gotta get over it quick because she's moving into her new ranch - Hope's Ranch. She's pumped! We then meet Jack who is the brother of Hope's best friend, Lori. Lori keeps telling Jack to tell her, tell her, TELL HER WHAT?! Hope is doing some work on the ranch, moving hay a few feet when a guy shows up. His name is Tom. He's her neighbor and when he finds out she's listening to country music, he's pumped. He's also pumped to find out that she's bringing back the Giddy Up Gala. Bad news though - Inspector Dave shows up and gives her a list of things she needs to do and get signed off on before the Gala. When she and Tom go out to get some horse feed, she sees Jack and she's not thrilled. They grew up together and definitely had a thing and he's still in love with her. She's like you think you could just move here and buy a place and I'd bump into you and we'd just pick up where we left off?! NO SIR! She starts working on prep for the Gala, driving around handing out invitations, and having flirty flirty fun times with Tom. But for reasons I don't understand, she starts letting Jack help out with stuff that needs to get done for the Gala. Everything is going well until the inspector comes. There are issues. She's freaking out and freaks out on ol' Jack over there. They end up making out and kissing, just in time for the Giddy Up Gala.

This week felt heavy, not catastrophic, not dramatic, just layered. I'm sharing about our recent surrogate embryo transfer and finding out it didn't take. Even when you know the statistics, hope quietly builds a future in the back of your mind, and each time that future dissolves, the grief is real. I talk about what it feels like to move through disappointment when your life is objectively full and beautiful, and how gratitude and grief can sit side by side without canceling each other out. I also get into the complicated tension of ambition and motherhood. Missing a camping trip with Sonny and Timmy. Launching new projects. Turning 41. Wondering how I want to be remembered - as ambitious, present, steady, joyful? Can you be all of them at once?This episode is really about capacity and how much we can hold. Absence and abundance. Career momentum and family tenderness. Disappointment and deep gratitude. Maybe adulthood isn't about resolving the contradictions. Maybe it's about becoming spacious enough to carry them.

Audio taken from the live teaching "A Biblical Battle Plan For Finishing Well - 5 Ways To Safeguard Your Spiritual & Moral Life" - https://youtu.be/IV0QndmMg44I believe Proverbs 4:23–27 gives us one of the clearest battle plans God has provided for us in Scripture for protecting our spiritual and moral lives.In our text, Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, is speaking to his son, but today the Holy Spirit is speaking to every believer who wants to not only start well, but also finish well. The text shows us five critical “gates” we must diligently guard if we are going to walk in purity and integrity in a morally toxic world.Guardrail #1 - Guard Your HeartGuardrail #2 - Guard Your MouthGuardrail #3 - Guard Your EyesGuardrail #4 - Guard Your PathsGuardrail #5 - Guard Your FeetKey Scriptures used in today's teaching: Proverbs 4: 20-27Other Scriptures referenced: Matthew 6:22-23; Proverbs 4:27; Psalm 32:8; Jude 24Unless otherwise noted, most Scripture will be read from the New Living Translation (NLT) Bible.If you prayed with Tiff, click here https://lostlamb.org/ and let him know!  Be sure to check out the playlist “New Beginnings” - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsX8E19Azl58_FjxELPxjnsL8CAtmama4Thank you for listening, and subscribe for new content each week.
