Widely known as the “Mother of Mindfulness”, Dr. Ellen Langer is a foundational figure in the study of mindfulness outside of meditation traditions. Dr. Langer is the first woman to ever receive tenure in psychology at Harvard, where she has researched, in her own lab, mindfulness for over 40 years. Dr. Langer has published well over 200 research articles and 13 best-selling books, (“Mindfulness”, “The Mindful Body”, “The Art of Noticing”, “Counter Clockwise”, and “The Power of Mindful Learning”) in which she has written on the illusion of control, aging, stress, decision-making, and health without meditation. In our interview, Dr. Langer talks about these topics, and also shares lessons she has learned from her American mom Sylvia. To learn more about Dr. Langer, visit her website here.

Award-winning actor and debut author Lili Taylor chats with Zibby about TURNING TO BIRDS, a collection of beautifully crafted, inquisitive, eye-opening essays about the search for peace in a cacophony of birds and discovering a world of meaning in small moments. The two dive into Lili's deep love of birding—how it began well before the pandemic and became a way of seeing and being in the world. They explore the emotional and neurological power of paying attention, the art of listening, and the beauty of connecting with nature to feel more at home in ourselves and the world.

Noticing that your eyes look more tired—even when you're well-rested?You're not alone. In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rady Rahban takes a deep dive into one of the earliest and most common signs of aging: upper eyelid and brow changes. Many women in their late 30s and 40s begin to notice smudged makeup, drooping lids, or a “heaviness” around the eyes—but it's not always due to excess eyelid skin. Dr. Rahban explains the anatomy behind these changes and why the issue is often a combination of brow descent and eyelid laxity—not one or the other. Listeners will learn the difference between upper blepharoplasty and lateral brow lifts, when a combined approach is necessary, and how to avoid that over-pulled or unnatural look that's become all too common in today's aesthetic world. This episode is a must-listen for anyone considering eye rejuvenation or simply curious about why their reflection seems a little different lately.

In this episode of Literally First Class, Keri Ford discusses the concept of upper limits, emphasizing that these limits are often physical rather than merely mental. She explores how the nervous system plays a crucial role in our success and how physical responses can indicate deeper mindset blocks. Keri highlights the importance of rewiring our nervous system to facilitate growth and action, and she encourages listeners to build their capacity to handle both high and low emotional states. The conversation concludes with practical advice on identifying physical symptoms related to mindset issues, reinforcing that awareness alone is not enough for transformation.   Takeaways: The upper limit is a physical barrier, not just a mental one. The nervous system's responses can hinder success. Awareness of mindset blocks is not enough for change. Rewiring the nervous system can facilitate growth. Physical symptoms often indicate deeper emotional issues. Building capacity helps manage emotional highs and lows. Noticing positive experiences is crucial for growth. The brain's negative bias can overshadow achievements. Emotions manifest physically in the body. Identifying physical symptoms can lead to breakthroughs.   Episode Resources: Book your free 15-minute Somatic Strategy Call with Jalena (no sales pitch, just a free nervous system audit)!

Ever said, “I need a break,” and then wondered if you were actually just avoiding what you committed to?

When you distill mindfulness down to its most basic elements, it's just breathing and noticing. Noticing the breath, noticing the mind, noticing the body, noticing whatever is happening around you.Noticing your present moment experience.That's what we're doing in our mindful moment today. Enjoy!Join me for weekly mindfulness!In addition to these mindful moments, I also host a mindfulness group called Mindful Creators every Wednesday on Zoom. The practices are recorded and emailed out the same day, so even if you can't make it live, you can still enjoy some guided mindfulness.Audio TranscriptWelcome to your mindful moment.This is a chance for you to practice connecting to your breath, finding stillness in your body, bringing awareness to whatever is happening within you and around you.Just practicing general mindful meditation.So I invite you now to just find a comfortable position for your body.Start to tune into the sensation of your breath.Notice what it feels like to take air into your body and then to release air out of your body.Just notice what breathing feels like for you right now in this present moment.You may notice that your breath deepens as you focus on it.You may notice that each breath is unique.Some breaths are more shallow.Some breaths are longer and deeper.Each breath is like a snowflake.And so you can bring your mindful curiosity to this act of breathing as you observe what it feels like to be in your body breathing.And then as you focus on your breathing and notice each breath, there are other things present in this moment.You may hear sounds.You may notice activity in the mind.There may be thoughts that are trying to get your attention.And all of that is fine.All of that is just part of your present moment experience.And so to practice mindfulness, you can just notice those things.You can notice the thoughts without pushing them away, without attaching to them and following them where they want to go.You can just notice, “Ah, thinking. Lots of thinking is happening.Or, “Hmm, sounds. Sounds are happening around me. I acknowledge those things as part of my present moment experience, and I choose to bring my attention and my focus back to the experience of breathing.”So in mindful meditation, we're just observing our present moment experience and choosing as our anchor to keep our focus on our breath.So maybe we can think to ourselves, “As I breathe in, I notice activity in my mind.”“As I breathe, I notice the sounds of cars going by.”Just noticing and breathing.Breathing and noticing.So now I'm going to bring this mindful moment to a close, but as always, feel free to continue your mindful meditation, breathing and noticing for as long as you like.Have a great day.I'm Amy Schloerb, The Aligned Actor

What are responsible ways of engaging with ambitions around change? ...Karina Solsø is a self-employed organizational psychologist, who works part-time at the Doctor of Management Programme at University of Hertfordshire, where she supervises Ph.D. students researching complexity in organizations. She also works as an external lecturer at Aalborg University supervising students doing a masters degree. Except from the work at universities, most of her clients work in senior roles in public and private sector companies in Denmark.Karina works with organizational change and leadership development, based on an approach of joint reflective inquiry into the social complexity of the situation at hand. She draws on her background as a psychologist to understand the relational situation in organizations, which she sees as key when working with change, but her work is also informed by philosophy, sociology and practice theories.Today, Abbie and Karina discuss emergent sensemaking; designing conversational arenas for exploring change; the conditions for and possibilities of upstream and downstream thinking; navigating the tensions of plurality by embracing “not knowing;” not erasing the otherness of the other; developing a practice of noticing; and creating social coherence through the responsibility of ethics....Stories Lived.

Coeval & Balbutient.Grandpa Bill's Location Idea: A Grand Castle.THIS IS ALL BASED ON MY BEING A 3 YEAR STUDENT OF THE MAGNETIC MEMORY METHODS STRUCTURED ONLINE COURSE AND PARTS OF PARTICULAR ASSIGNMENTS THERE!!Here's how GB is adapting the objects to guide someone through the castle and ultimately to my location within it:CO (Company of Coalas): Imagine a group of identical, cuddly "koalas"(bears) (representing "coeval") gathered in the Castle's main Courtyard. They are all facing a specific archway or doorway.E (Emerald Green Vests): Each koala wears a vibrant Emerald green vest. On the back of each vest is a directional arrow, all pointing towards the same inner part of the castle.VAL (Identical Valises): Each koala holds an identical small VALise. These valises are not just filled with treats, but each has a small, identical map peeking out. When the maps are pieced together ( they each hopefully will show a different section), they will be revealing the specific room or area where GB's examples are located within the castle.So, someone following this mnemonic journey would:Encounter a company of coeval koalas in the castle courtyard.Noticing the arrows on their emerald vests pointing inwards.Examining the maps within their identical valises to piece together my exact location within the castle, as depicted in MY fictional Mnemonic Memory Palace.Again this is to coincide with a specific assigned Word Tracker project as part of my being a student of MMM this is my adaptation of next up  "Balbutient" STAY TUNED!!Creative Solutions for Holistic HealthcareTo our esteemed agencies and potential guests, Grandpa Bill here, host of the BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour Podcast (airing today, May 13th, 2025).For the past eight years, as part of my retirement Goodwill Ambassadorship, I've greatly valued the opportunity to host diverse voices on the show.Please note that for the next three months, commencing immediately, I will be taking a temporary hiatus specifically from accepting and scheduling new guest appearances.

Internal medicine physician Kara Pepper discusses her article, "From burnout to balance: 5 stages of career transformation." Drawing from her own journey away from burnout and her experience coaching hundreds of physicians, she outlines five predictable stages doctors often traverse when seeking more autonomy, purpose, and sustainability in their work. Kara describes the progression from Stage 1: Stuck, where burnout feels inescapable, through Stage 2: Noticing, acknowledging the need for change and identifying misalignments; Stage 3: Discovery, actively exploring alternatives and embracing self-compassion; Stage 4: Data Collection, analyzing options like job adjustments or starting a practice and addressing practicalities like finances; to Stage 5: Action, making concrete moves toward a new career path. Throughout the conversation, Kara offers actionable advice for each stage, such as seeking external support, identifying core values, researching possibilities, planning meticulously, and surrounding oneself with supportive peers, ultimately encouraging physicians to take manageable steps toward creating a career that aligns with their well-being.

This week on the podcast, we're diving into something that might seem small at first glance but can create a massive ripple effect in your child's life—celebrating wins! Whether your kiddo is neurodivergent, gifted, twice-exceptional, or simply working hard on any kind of challenge, recognizing their progress is a simple and powerful tool to build confidence, resilience, and deeper connection. Key Takeaways: Celebrate Progress, Not Perfection: Focus on your child's effort and growth—academically, emotionally, or socially—rather than on flawless outcomes or test scores. Recognize that every step forward matters. Make Celebration Part of Your Family Culture: Normalize celebrating both big and small wins. Everyday achievements, like staying calm during frustration or trying something new, are worth acknowledging. Be Specific with Praise: Offer detailed, genuine feedback instead of generic compliments. Let your child know exactly what they did well, so they feel truly seen and understand what actions led to their success. Support Emotional Wellbeing: Regularly celebrating wins helps rewire your child's thinking toward positivity, reduces anxiety and shame, and boosts confidence—especially for neurodivergent kids who may be prone to self-criticism. Reinforce Intrinsic Motivation: Frequent, meaningful celebration fosters your child's internal desire to keep trying and learning, rather than only aiming for external rewards. Track and Display Success: Use visual tools like “win walls,” progress jars, or journals to make accomplishments visible and motivating, especially for children who need tangible reminders of their progress. Include the Whole Family: Encourage siblings to cheer each other on, and celebrate everyone's growth together to foster a positive, team-spirited home environment. Keep Celebrations Simple and Meaningful: Low-pressure gestures—like a high-five, dance party, extra story at bedtime, or picking from a treasure box—can turn accomplishments into lasting, positive memories. Model Growth Mindset: Show your child that learning is about the journey, including the mistakes and messy parts. Reflect together on successes and struggles to help everyone learn and grow. Recognize Everyday Wins: Remember that wins can be as simple as trying again after failing, using a calming strategy, or showing kindness to others. Celebrate these, too, and help your child value personal growth. Celebration doesn't mean constant applause—it means noticing. By being specific and genuine, you help your kids develop self-awareness, resilience, and a true sense of accomplishment. For more practical tips and encouragement, check out Chapter 7 of The Homeschool Advantage or revisit past podcast episodes on building confidence and emotional strength.   Need more resources and encouragement?

Fifteen years ago, actor Lili Taylor took a sabbatical and spent time at her house in upstate New York. There, in the quiet, she started to listen. As she writes, "I started to hear birds. It was as if I'd switched my studio input from one dimension to Dolby stereo." It changed her perception of the world. In her new book of essays Turning to Birds: The Power and Beauty of Noticing, she writes about her encounters with the natural world, what she has gained by paying attention to her surroundings, and how her connection with nature helps her find peace and calm.

In this episode, we explore how action really works—it's not all on you! We also look at different kinds of knowledge, actions, and workers. Noticing your tendencies can help you grow with more clarity. #bhagavadgita #gita #learninggita #krishna

Complain, ask for advice, give advice and express a plan & subjunctive II with sollte. Paul is depressed and regrets that he couldn't be there for Grandpa in the end. His work is also not going well since he is out of ideas. When Laura hears that he uploaded his Sylt adventure today, she is a little too interested in the new blog post, especially since she already knows the whole story. His blog is now super popular, but that doesn't cheer him up: Grandpa would have loved to look for the painting. But now he and the page are gone, which leaves Paul with no clue about where to find it. Tim complains about his employee and partner at his workshop. Laura remembers that Fritz, too, had a workshop and a partner. He betrayed also him, then ignored him and then used an excuse with a burnt cell phone - the same excuse he gave Paul. Fritz is ruthless, which is why he had also drawn suspicion on Anna by telling Paul about her previous conviction. Noticing how he has been tricked again, Paul is very angry and wants to report Fritz to the police. And he has proof: he had used his phone to make a sound recording of their last conversation on Sylt. Will he really report Fritz and thus put his police career in danger? Why is Laura suddenly so overly interested in the blog post about Sylt even though she already knows everything?

Here's the brutal truth: Self-awareness is the ultimate sales skill. We obsess over skills like closing techniques, objection handling, and prospecting cadence. But self-awareness is the real make-or-break. Self-awareness is the lever that separates ethical, high-performance sellers from out-of-touch order takers. If you're not self-aware, you're leaving money on the table and damaging trust. Sales Without Self-Awareness is a Wrecking Ball Let's get honest. Lack of self-awareness is a deal-killer. It's what causes reps to: Over-talk and under-listen Project their objections onto the buyer Miss subtle cues because they're too focused on a static script Push when they should pause This isn't just a skill gap—it's a blind spot. When you don't know how best to connect with your prospect because you're not listening—that's a dangerous place to sell from. Self-awareness is your internal compass. Without it, you can't navigate objections, establish trust, or conduct a real discovery conversation. You can't be consultative without being conscious. The Ego Trap: Overconfidence Kills Awareness It might seem counterintuitive, but your biggest blind spot in sales might be your own ego. Close a few deals, and suddenly you stop prepping, shortcut discovery, and assume you know the buyer. That's when self-awareness can tank. Confidence is good until it turns into arrogance. When you stop reflecting, stop asking questions, and stop listening, you lose your edge. Sales is a what 's-happening-today game. Yesterday's win doesn't guarantee today's deal. Top sellers stay humble enough to ask:  “Did I connect, or just perform?”  “Am I guiding, or just trying to sound impressive?” “Does my solution fit their problem, or am I just trying to land a quick deal?” The most crucial part of self-awareness? Checking your mindset—and your overconfidence—before it derails a lucrative deal. Ego says you've got it handled. Self-awareness asks if that's really true. Only one of those gets you to President's Club. The Two Lanes of Emotionally Intelligent Awareness Awareness in sales isn't just about having “emotional intelligence” and keeping arrogance in check. It's about two critical lanes: 1. Seller Self-Awareness You must know how your tone, presence, and mindset affect the buyer. That means recognizing when: You're chasing approval instead of guiding decisions You're hesitating out of fear of rejection You're overexplaining because you're insecure You're emotionally reacting instead of staying neutral Top sellers audit themselves for these moments constantly. They ask:  "Was I too defensive there?"  "Did I listen or just wait to talk?"  "Am I showing up with certainty or neediness?" A self-inventory is no picnic. But this self-audit allows the elite to stay composed, curious, and in control—especially when things get tense. 2. Buyer's State Awareness A self-aware seller is tuned in. They're not just listening to what is said, but why it's being said, and what isn't being said at all. Consultative selling is all about sensing, so it's: Knowing when a buyer's guard is up Being alert to when they're overwhelmed Learning when they're intrigued but afraid to say yes Watching the micro-expressions Noticing the shift in tone The best lead by aligning with the buyer's state. By understanding the buyer's motivations, emotional triggers, and decision-making pace, self-aware sellers engage in deal-making, not manipulation.  Self-Awareness Might Be New to You So there's no doubt self-awareness nets meetings and closes deals. But here's the problem: Most sellers have never been coached to insightfully reflect.  They're trained on scripts, not self-regulation. They're told to “just make the calls,” but not how to manage the emotions that come with rejection, hesitation, or being ghosted. It's easy to understand the challenges.

If you've been doing all the “right” things but it still feels sticky, off, or oddly lonely, this one's for you. You're not broken. You're not behind. You're not missing anything. You're just crossing a threshold most people don't talk about. You're on your way to becoming exceptional. And yes, it can feel weird.In this episode, we take a breath and a good honest look at:Why the road to mastery often feels quieter (and wobblier) than you'd expectThe invisible gap between being high-functioning and being truly exceptionalWhat it really looks like when you outgrow old tools, spaces, or peopleThe internal shift that actually makes space for big, grounded growthThe one skill that makes the whole thing smoother, more peaceful, and way less chaotic: self-coachingThis isn't about hustling harder. It's about softening. Unlearning. Noticing what's no longer working, and gently letting go.If you're in the middle of a stretch that feels like the old way is cracking and the new one hasn't landed yet, this episode is your permission slip to keep going. You're not off track. You're ahead of your own curve.Mentioned: ✨ Be Your Own Coach - NLP Immersive Training – Enrolment is open nowLinks:Website: https://hayleycarr.tv/Instagram: @hayleycarr.tvFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/hayleycarr.tvLinkedin: https://au.linkedin.com/in/hayley-carr-international

In episode 120 astrologers Kristina Martin and Tara Redfield take on often controversial Alec and Hilaria Baldwin. This couple has the greatest age gap (25 years) that's ever been analyzed on the show!    First, we read Hilaria's chart and see a determined and success-seeking Capricorn Sun. With a sextile from Saturn, it's not a suprise that she started a yoga studio franchise while she was still in college - she has a natural apptitude for business! Noticing her intense Mars/Pluto conjunction there is likely a ruthless and extremely powerful side to her as well, while her Aquarius Moon shows a friendly demeanor and need for community.    Looking at Alec's chart, we see an assertive and strong-willed Aries Sun with a sextile to Mars, making him extremely direct and passionate about everything he does. We also see both Mars and Venus in Aquarius, telling us he likes his relationships to be built on friendship and to also have a rebellious and slightly detached nature. Although, an intense Venus/Pluto opposition speaks of control and jealousy issues when it comes to relationships.   Together their Cardinal Suns square each other, which inidcates ego clashes and fighting for the spotlight. They also have a tight Venus/Mars trine in air signs which gives them huge points when it comes to genuine physical attraction and intellectual chemistry. Adding a sensitive Venus/Moon conjunction reveals deep affection and comfortability with each other. Can their age gap work thanks to the rare Pluto sextile?

Strong leadership is born not from control, but from authentic community and the cultivation of people and teams. Nathan Hatch, former president of Wake Forest University and esteemed historian, joins Mark Labberton to reflect on the nature of transformative leadership. Drawing from his decades of experience at Notre Dame and Wake Forest—and from his new book, The Gift of Transformative Leaders—Hatch explores how leaders cultivate thriving institutions through humility, vision, and empowerment. Hatch shares his personal journey from growing up in a Presbyterian home to leading major universities, while reflecting on the comomunity, character, instincts, and freedom required for lasting institutional impact. Episode Highlights "Organizations aren't self-generating—you bet on people, not on strategy." "Organizations are best served when you have a team of like-minded people, each using their own strengths." "Leadership has to flow out of who you are authentically—you can't try to be someone else." "If you have exceptional people, it takes management of a different form—it's collaboration." "Leadership is not about control but about strength: hiring strong people is harder, but it's transformative." "People read your real meanings, not your words—authenticity is the heart of leadership."

Byron Katie does not want people's approval. She has no interest in manipulating people out of the way they see her. She wants them to think the way they think. According to Katie, that's love. In this episode, Tom guides a meditation around noticing wanting approval. Noticing what it's like living in the world of holding tightly to that desire, and noticing what it's like being free of it. Could it be that it doesn't matter what anyone is thinking about me? We invite you to follow along in this inquiry with situations in your own life where you notice attachment to being approved of.

In this episode of Homebody, Anna delves into the Polyvagal Theory, explaining the three primary states of the autonomic nervous system: dorsal vagal shutdown, sympathetic activation, and ventral vagal safety. She emphasizes the importance of understanding these states and how to navigate them effectively, especially during trauma healing. Anna provides practical tools for transitioning between these states and building resilience, encouraging listeners to approach their healing journey with patience and self-compassion. takeaways The Polyvagal Theory outlines three primary states of the autonomic nervous system. Dorsal vagal shutdown is a state of collapse and disconnection. Sympathetic activation is the fight or flight response. Ventral vagal state is where we feel safe and connected. Healing often involves uncomfortable middle steps. Understanding transitions helps avoid shame around in-between states. Each state is a response to how safe our nervous system feels. Gentle movements can help transition from dorsal vagal to sympathetic. Building resilience involves daily routines of safety and connection. Noticing glimmers can enhance our sense of joy and safety.

In this insightful interview, I'm joined by Marcia Bonato Warren, a trauma-informed body therapist, somatic counselor, interculturalist, and author. Marcia brings over 30 years of experience working with cross-cultural mental health, and she shares a powerful lens on how identity, culture, and trauma intersect in the body. Together, we explore the concept of embodied code switching, how our bodies carry cultural and ancestral imprints, and how healing often involves not just the mind, but movement, sensation, and deep awareness of the self. Marcia discusses her personal journey as a Brazilian and Native American woman navigating multiple cultural worlds—and how her lived experience shaped her professional path and inspired her new book. This episode is a rich blend of personal storytelling, professional insight, and hope for a more connected, empathetic world. Key Discussion Points: Marcia's multicultural background growing up between Pueblo traditions and Brazilian culture What it means to experience culture somatically when language isn't accessible The definition and practice of embodied code switching How somatic therapy works and how the body holds trauma, history, and healing Cultural embodiment and the importance of body-based awareness across social, emotional, and environmental realms The internal work of bridging identities that may feel in conflict Intergenerational trauma and healing as a form of cultural resilience Marcia's new book as a form of protest and empowerment amid sociopolitical turmoil The value of curiosity and reclaiming our sense of wonder Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro to Marcia and her multicultural upbringing 04:30 – Advocating through names and early sense of identity 09:00 – Growing up between cultures and learning through somatic experience 14:00 – Noticing what it feels like to “not belong” in any cultural space 17:00 – The physical experience of fitting in (or not) 20:00 – What is somatic counseling and body-based psychotherapy? 24:00 – Holding multiple identities and forming relationships between them 28:00 – Embodied code switching: definitions and origins 35:00 – Identity, trauma, and resilience in the nervous system 40:00 – Diversity, empathy, and learning across differences 43:30 – Somatics, symbolism, and healing in therapy 47:00 – Marcia's career in advocacy and transition to therapy 52:00 – Her new book as resistance and hope in a polarized world 58:30 – Book structure, audience, and why it matters now 1:06:00 – Final reflections on curiosity, awareness, and personal power Guest Links: Website: https://www.embodiedculture.com Book Info & Resources: https://www.embodiedcodeswitching.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marciabonatowarren Buy the Book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Movement-Identity-Multiculturalism-Awareness-Code-Switching/dp/1839978376 Contact Me: Email: duffthepsych@gmail.com Website: https://duffthepsych.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@duffthepsych Instagram: https://instagram.com/duffthepsych If you enjoyed this episode, please consider leaving a review, sharing it with a friend, or tagging me on social to let me know your thoughts.

There is no denying we are in an extraordinarily tough season.  When things feel heavy and hard for an extended period of time, it's easy to feel a sense of constriction in our thoughts, mental health, and worldview.  It's easy to fall into a funk.  And, it can feel impossible to pull ourselves out of it.   During challenging seasons, it is crucial that you maintain a growth mindset. While it's important to acknowledge what is happening in the world around us, it is also critically important to maintain habits that allow you to tap into hope and possibility regularly.  If all you feel is constriction during hard seasons, you run the risk of shutting down completely. This doesn't serve you or anyone else.  Tapping into your growth mindset is going to be the superpower that allows you to keep going.   In this episode, I outline six practical strategies to help you advance a growth mindset, including collecting the correct evidence, tracking small wins, staying in motion, leaning on the right support system, recognizing harmful narratives, and giving yourself permission to practice self-compassion through rest and restorative activities.   Episode Highlights: 00:00 Introduction to Growth Mindset in Tough Times 02:23 Understanding Growth vs. Fixed Mindset 06:06 Six Ways to Improve Growth Mindset 12:12 Tracking Small Wins and Staying in Motion 15:34 The Importance of the Right Support System 18:22 Noticing and Changing Your Narratives 21:11 The Power of Rest and Self-Compassion Links Mentioned: Hire me to speak: saradean.com/speaking Coach with me: https://saradean.com/executive-coaching-services Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/saradeanspeaks Interested in becoming a sponsor of the Shameless Mom Academy?
