Podcasts about noticing

What if your brain is already working hard to prove you right? In this episode, Heather explores how confirmation bias, attention, and identity influence the way photographers see their businesses. If you keep telling yourself there aren't enough clients, people won't pay, or you're bad at marketing, your brain becomes remarkably good at finding evidence to support those beliefs. Heather explains how to interrupt that cycle, choose more useful thoughts, and intentionally train your brain to notice opportunities, solutions, and possibilities you may have been overlooking. Key Takeaways: Your brain looks for evidence that supports what you already believe. Your beliefs influence what you notice, how you interpret experiences, and what opportunities you recognize. "I don't know how to get clients" is not a permanent fact. It may simply mean you don't currently know how to get your next client. One experience doesn't prove a universal truth. A ghosted inquiry or a price objection doesn't mean nobody wants your work. Your brain can build either a positive or negative case. The thoughts you repeatedly practice become the evidence your brain searches for. Identity changes behavior. When you see yourself as someone who can figure things out, your actions begin to reflect that belief. "I'm an athlete" becomes a useful identity. Heather shares how this thought changed the choices she naturally made around movement, food, and health. You don't need to lie to yourself. Choose thoughts that are believable and useful, such as "There are people who would love what I offer." Marketing opportunities may already be around you. When you believe opportunities exist, you become more likely to notice people, conversations, and connections that could lead somewhere. Don't use mindset work against yourself. Noticing an unhelpful thought isn't another reason to criticize yourself. It's simply information. Ask: "What am I training my brain to prove?" This question can help you recognize the story you're building and consciously choose a different one. What if your brain has been proving your limiting beliefs right this entire time? What if the clients, opportunities, and possibilities aren't missing—you've simply stopped noticing them? The story you repeat becomes the evidence you see, the actions you take, and the results you create. Press play and discover what you're training your brain to prove—and how to start building a completely different case.

In Episode 271: The Outcomes Formula, I introduce a new coaching framework that represents a shift in the way I help missionaries and clients understand their thoughts, emotions, and actions. If you've listened to earlier episodes where I taught The Model, don't worry—I'm not throwing it out. Instead, I've simplified and refined the process into something I believe is more compassionate, more flexible, and easier to apply in everyday life. My hope is that this new approach helps you spend less time judging yourself and more time understanding what's really happening in your mind. Throughout this episode, I walk through each step of what I call The Outcomes Formula: Observation, Assessment, Feeling, Action, and Outcome. We explore how your brain naturally takes in information, assigns meaning to it, creates emotions, fuels your actions, and ultimately produces the outcomes you experience. Rather than focusing on whether your observations are perfectly factual, I explain why it's often more helpful to become curious about the meaning your brain is assigning to those experiences and how that meaning shapes the rest of the formula. If you've ever wondered why you keep getting stuck in the same emotional patterns, why anxiety or discouragement seem to repeat themselves, or how to interrupt those cycles with greater compassion and awareness, I hope Episode 271: The Outcomes Formula gives you a practical tool you can return to again and again. My hope is that this framework helps you better understand yourself, strengthen your emotional resilience, and recognize that lasting change begins with becoming aware of the stories your brain is telling you—not by trying to become someone different. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.   00:00 – Introduction 00:54 – Why I'm Teaching a New Coaching Framework 03:30 – Introducing the Outcomes Formula 05:14 – Step 1: Observation (What You're Noticing) 08:11 – Step 2: Assessment (The Meaning Your Brain Creates) 10:57 – Steps 3 & 4: Feelings Fuel Your Actions 16:28 – Step 5: Outcomes and the Feedback Loop 19:49 – Why I Moved Beyond "The Model" 26:07 – Using the Outcomes Formula with Compassion Instead of Shame 29:34 – The Power of Changing Your Assessment   Website | Instagram | Facebook   5 Ways to Process Any Less-Than Happy Mission Memories Article: HERE   Get the Full Show Notes and Text/PDF Transcripts: HERE   Free PDF Download:  Podcast Roadmap   Free PDF Download:  Preparing Missionary Cheat Sheet   Free Training for Preparing Missionaries:  Change Your Mission with this One Tool   RM Transition Free Video Series:  3 Tools to Help RMs in Their Transition Home   Free Guide:  5 Tips to Help Any Returning Missionary   Schedule a Free Strategy Call:   Click Here

 If the following blurb from this week’s podcast doesn’t hook you, the fact that Betsy closes with an easy exercise that could help you make the change you have been waiting for will. Here it is…’You don’t have to have it all sorted out before you’re allowed to claim it as yours. You can be in the middle of the mess and still build something with an intention and a purpose. You already know what your habit list is, so say it out loud.’ See?? Take a listen and enjoy. Transcript:  Welcome to The Art of Living Big, where we explore how to live intentionally and with more joy. I’m Betsy Pake, your host, master, coach, and creator of the Navigate Method. Here to help you listen in to your true desires, elevate your standards, and live life to the fullest. Now, let’s go live big. Hi, everybody. Welcome to the show today. All right, so, so today’s episode is, is sort of, I don’t know, specific, I’m gonna say. Aren’t all the episodes specific? But I got a message on Instagram, and, you know, sometimes I’ll get messages, and they are like other messages that I’ve gotten. So it’s easy to do, like, a podcast episode on them because it’s a really common question or a common thing people are going through, or it’s something that I know from my own life, right? And so when I got this question, though, I was like, “Oh, that’s actually a really good question, and I don’t know if anybody’s actually asked me that before.” And so what it was, it, it wasn’t like a coaching question. It was more like a logistics question. So what she wanted to know was she wanted to know how I did it. So she said, “It seems like you’ve rebuilt your life, and it seems really happy. But it also seems like you’ve rebuilt your whole life. How did you know what to build?” I was like, I mean, I didn’t even know what to say, ’cause how do you answer that? How do you… H- how did you know what to build? So, I kept thinking about it, and I thought, you know what? That likely deserves its own episode because the, the honest answer is that I, I did not know. Like, there was no plan. I think sometimes people look at my life now, and they assume that there was some kind of blueprint, and there was not. But there was about a year of me getting it wrong, I say wrong with air quotes, in a bunch of different directions, and so that’s what today is. So today I wanna name you a couple things. Three things I picked, even though I could come up with, like, 15 things, but three things seems like a good amount for a podcast. I wanna give you three things that I wish somebody had said to me at the very beginning of all that, because I think they would have saved me a little bit of time. And honestly, this is the work that I do, right? I went through something, and I wanna save everybody a bit of time by explaining it. And so, you know, I think that when we make a decision, I remember when I made my decision to leave my husband, I gotta tell you, e- every day over the past couple weeks, I’ve been like, “I’m so glad I did that. I’m so glad I did that.” But I think when we get to that place where we make that decision, at least for me it was not this. Like, I don’t even care what happens. I mean, of course I cared, but I don’t even care. It’s just not this. I was fully, fully 100% on board with just living my own life as a single woman, like, happily forever, and that is great for me. You know, will I be single forever? I, I don’t know, but I… That’s the way I wanted to build my life, right? So it wasn’t like, “I’m gonna leave this big hole here for somebody to fill. I’m gonna do everything but this thing and hope somebody else h-” Like, uh-uh. Like, I was gonna f- build my life. I was gonna make my health the way I wanted. I was gonna make my financial life the way I wanted. I was gonna make my home the way I wanted. I was gonna make my friendships the way I wanted. I was gonna make my activities the way I wanted. Like, I was gonna build my life for me. And so here’s the thing If you are sitting somewhere in your house or in your car, I know you’re in your car. You’re sitting in your car in the driveway, but a lot of you do a lot of thinking in your car, and you may have had this feeling that the life that you’re living was designed by somebody that was a, a younger version of you, somebody that you don’t totally recognize anymore. And maybe it’s not a bad life, you know? That sometimes is the part that can get really confusing, because it might not be that anything is, like, wildly on fire. It’s just that when you look around and you look at your calendar and you look at your house and you look at your weekend plans and your friendships, you can trace every single piece of it back to a decision that you made a long time ago for reasons that were probably good reasons, probably good reasons at the time. But now you’re standing in the middle of this, like, midlife, which I kinda hate when we’re, like, midlife. Ugh, like it’s this big thing, but it is. It is. So now you’re standing here, and in the middle of all of this saying, “Would I choose this again?” Right? Would I choose this again? And I know some of you are listening to this from inside a marriage where you have not decided anything, and you are not sure if you want to. You know, redesigning your life is not the same thing as leaving your life. Those are two really different projects, and I don’t think we have to get them all tangled up together. Some of the biggest redesigns that I have ever had in my own life and that I’ve watched other people have happened inside marriages, inside relationships, even inside marriages where people stayed. You know, the- the woman that- that changed everything about how she was living, and she did it without moving out of her house, is a possible, is, it, that is a real thing. So take these three things and put them, like, wherever they fit in your life because I’m not pointing you in any specific direction. Stay, leave, maybe you’re single, like, all the things. Okay. That is my disclaimer ’cause I never tell you what to do. Okay. All right. So the first thing that everybody tells you when your life comes apart or when you decide to take it apart, you know, on purpose, is to get clear on what you want. I had this conversation with somebody the other day, like, being really clear and having a clear vision. You know? Making the list. Do the vision boarding thing. Like, what do you want your life to actually look like? And I sat down with a blank page and that question, and I could not answer it, and I don’t mean, like, I struggled with it, and I don’t mean, like, I wrote a couple things and they weren’t quite right. I mean nothing. Nothing came I just sat there, and there was no big idea, no big yearning or pulling. I just remember thinking, “Ugh.” Like, I just… I’m, I’m getting out of something I knew was a no. No. Hell no. I knew that, but I didn’t know what was next, and I remember thinking, “Oh, is this a problem? Like, is this the problem?” Because I had been answering that question on behalf of other people for so long that I did not have my own answer anymore, and every time I tried to write something down, I could hear how it would sound to somebody else. I could hear my ex, I could hear my family, I could hear the version of me that was supposed to be handling all these things. And so the list that came out started sounding like a woman being really reasonable. It did not come out sounding like me. And, you know, I think a lot of you have had this exact experience, where you thought, “I don’t know what I want, , and, and I can’t get to the core of it, and that must mean something’s wrong. Must mean something’s wrong with me.” You know, like, you’re the woman who can’t figure out what she wants, but that is not it. I don’t think that’s it. If you have spent any amount of time, you know, 20 years, whatever, being the person who gets to make sure that everybody else is okay, of course you cannot produce your want list on demand. Like, that is a skill, to be able to imagine something different. I mean, imagine something different. Like, it’s not just imagining something you’ve seen other people do, okay? So hang with me. You can imagine things that you’ve seen other people do, and you could be like, “Sure, I could see that as being a thing.” But what about imagining something different? Something you’ve never seen anybody do, in the way that you wanna do it. And that skill is a skill, and it’s probably got really quiet ’cause you stopped using it. And so here’s what actually worked, and it, it was the opposite of, like, direction. I stopped asking myself, “What do I want?” And I started asking, “What am I saying yes to out of habit?” Because that was a question that I could answer. I could answer that one immediately. I knew, like, immediately. I was like, “Oh, well that’s a habit. This is a habit. That’s a habit.” And I had a whole list of habits in, like, just a couple minutes. ‘Cause you always know. You know, you know that one. You know the thing on your calendar that you dread, but it’s always there. You know the friendship that you have that you keep just out of loyalty or ’cause you’ve had them for so long, even though you feel like the version of the friendship that actually felt good was gone a long time ago. You notice the way you spend your Sunday afternoons, the things you wanna participate in, the way you keep your house, right? Nobody asked you to keep your kitchen or your bathroom or any of those things the way that they are. So you know exactly what those things are. And I think this is why this works a little bit better, is because you can’t design a new life while the old one is fully running. You know, I, I, I wanna… I don’t wanna get too far down a rabbit hole of how our brains work. If you’ve been listening here for a while, you’ve heard me talk about this, but, but you can’t fit anything else in when the old program is, like, fully installed. There’s no room. So the wanting shows up in the space, but if there’s no space, there’s nothing to want with. I hope that makes sense. You gotta have space. So the first thing, I don’t think is the vision. The first thing is noticing. Noticing what are you still doing, only because you’ve always done it. And so don’t do anything about any of that yet. Don’t quit anything, don’t cancel anything, don’t have some big conversation with anybody. Just write down what’s on that list, and then notice it, ’cause that list is actually the starting point. It would be great if we could have some big delulu vision. I know we talk about that all the time, but I think the starting point is actually noticing where you are and everything about what leads into that Okay, so the second thing, the second thing that I did to redesign my life, and this is one that, I don’t know, I think this is probably the most useful thing that I’m gonna share if I had to look at the list. But you can want something. Like, you can want something, you can choose it, you can be totally right about it, and you can be absolutely flattened with sadness about what it costs you. Now, when I left my marriage, I was not sad about the marriage ending. I was thrilled. I, I n- I don’t… I honest to God, by the time I’d made that decision, I did not shed a tear, like not once. And I don’t say that… Uh, uh, that’s sad to me, like that’s sad to me, but I was so absolutely done, and the fact that I stayed so long was the sadness that I had to deal with You know, uh, uh, when I started noticing that, like, my first thought every single time was like, “Oh, my God, w- why did I wait so long? I made such a mistake in delaying. I wasted years.” And I could be having a completely good day, like a good day, and then I would be somewhere and I would think, “Why the heck didn’t I leave a long time ago?” Now I’m 52, 53 years old and doing this, starting over. Like, I gave up so much to get out, and I walked away from so much to choose myself, and that’s what I chose. I chose myself. And so I had to go to the place where I was sad that I didn’t do it with hindsight. Like, we get to the place where we have hindsight. W- what do they say? Hindsight’s 20/20, right? And then you look back and you’re like, “Oh, my God, I coulda done it here, I coulda done it here. When I left the first time, why didn’t I stay go- gone?” I knew. Like, I knew. When I came back, I knew. I, I, I just came back ’cause I was tired. It was easier. And so, you know, I, when I would feel that, like, sadness, I would just be like, “This is just a, a grief that I have to deal with.” It’s not a review of my decision. I didn’t leave when I didn’t leave because I couldn’t leave. I left when I could. I wasn’t ready. And I think some of you might need to hear that. Like, it’s not because I didn’t want to, it’s because I wasn’t ready, and we can’t do things until we’re ready, and that’s okay. And grief just means you recognize what that cost you. That’s all it means. I was sad because something real I felt was taken from me, time, and that means that I think my life is important, and that means that I am so happy I chose when I did and I didn’t take any more time That’s the grief. That’s what I had to come to grips with. But I think we have this thing where we feel like there’s this, like, pros and cons list. Like, we think if we can just get our feelings to settle down, right? We’ll know we did the right thing. You know, we’ll know this was the choice. Uh, like, it’s never gonna be right, wh- whatever right is in our minds. Like, it’s never, you’re never gonna score a perfect 10 on the exiting at the exact moment you were supposed to. If I had left five years before when I had left the first time, I probably would have thought I should have left five years before that. I knew right away that something was wrong. So my grief, my, my feelings, my mood, if you will, was telling me that it mattered It wasn’t telling me anything else. And I think once I understood that things can matter, and I can still move forward, and I’m learning about myself, and that the timing was when I could, then I think that grief started to integrate and lessen, and instead I started to become appreciative of where I was and who I was. You guys might remember in a earlier episode, and I won’t tell the whole story, but I got up on New Year’s Day and I was mad at my ex, and I had to sit with that and recognize I wasn’t really mad at him. Why would I even be thinking about him still? Like, I was mad at me, and I had to reckon with that. I had to reckon with those earlier versions of me who were l- God, she was hanging on by her toenails, doing the best she could. And I think honoring her and, everything she went through was to release her from some expectation that this version of me has, ’cause this version of me w- would not tolerate it. Do you know what I mean? But I wasn’t this version. But I had to be that version to get to here. Okay, so my next one, the third one. Okay, so let’s say you le- you cleared some space, you stopped treating your feelings like they’re wrong, and now you actually get to the place where you’re like, “I get to build something.” And here’s what I think made me, I don’t know, I, I wanna say, like, lost the most time. But for about a year, I think every decision that I made, I was really only asking one question: is this safe? Like, that’s it. That was the filter. Is this safe? Can I afford it? What happens if it goes wrong? What’s the smallest version of this I could do? Maybe not quite. We could try that. I don’t know. And I’m an entrepreneur, and I’m, not risk-averse. I’m not. But I noticed I was leaning into safety. I needed to feel a certain level of safety. And I, I, I think that can be a valid question, but I also think if it’s your only question, then you start to build a very small life. And then you will sit inside it a year later going, “Why does this not feel big enough?” Right? I did the hard thing. I got out, I rebuilt. Why does this feel like nothing? And I think- That, you know, when I look back, I, I left, well, I left in August. It took forever to sell my house. Moved into my apartment at the end of December, I think, and then it was probably the summer before I was like, “Oh, I’m doing this safety thing.” And it made a lot of sense ’cause a survivor builds a shelter. She doesn’t build a life. Those are two different projects. And I don’t wanna say go be reckless. I’m not saying, like, spend money that you don’t have, or blow up your life, or take a leap. Like, that’s not what I’m saying. The point is that the question I was using was too small, and maybe it’s the question I had to have for several months just until I could feel that stability for myself. I remember being so anxious all the time. I was anxious I would see him, like, walking the dog. He doesn’t live terribly far from me, I think maybe a mile or two. I was afraid I would run into him on the street. , I was afraid, and I noticed, like, I was trying to build a whole bunch of safety mechanisms around me in order to avoid that fear so that when I came back home I knew that it was safe. Now, I wanna be clear. He wasn’t beating me or anything like that, , but it was not emotionally safe place to be. So What changed for me was switching to a different question, and this is one that I still use and I still like it for big things and small things. Here’s the question, and I’ve talked about this in another episode in another way, , when I went to Vermont, that episode. But it’s who is the kind of person that I want to be? Not what do I want, ’cause we’ve already established that I couldn’t answer that one for a little while. It’s not what’s the safest, because I had been living inside that one. But who is the kind of person I wanna be? And then, would she do this? Because there is a version of you that chooses much differently. She just does. You know, ask a scared woman whether to take the trip, and she’ll turn into the calculator in her phone and run the numbers and figure it all out and see if it makes sense and Google and ask ChatGPT, but ask the woman that you want to be whether to take the trip, and you’ll get an answer just like that. And it’s not that she’s reckless, by the way. That’s not it, and that’s not what surprised me. The woman that I want to be says no to a lot of things. She says no faster than the scared version does, because the scared version negotiates things and explains and tries to weigh options and tries to be nice about it. The woman that I want to be just doesn’t have that much interest. So you have to notice which version of you you’re living inside, because if, if it’s the one who just came through something hard, she’s going to design for protection. I think that’s normal. And protection is not the same. It’s not the same as a life. It’s the first thing you need, but it’s also a terrible thing to organize the rest of your life around. Okay So if you wanna have actually something to do this week, here’s what I would do, and I’ve made it really small on purpose. I want you to write down three things that you are doing purely out of habit. Not big stuff, just regular stuff, just ordinary stuff. And then look at each one and ask, “Who is the kind of person I want to be, and does she keep doing this thing?” You don’t have to change any of those things. This isn’t, like, a homework assignment where you have to have a life overhaul this week. I just want you to find out how much of your week belongs to a woman who made decisions about things, like, a long time ago for reasons that might not even be true anymore. And I’ll tell you what usually happens when people do this, ’cause I’ve watched women do this, is that one of them is gonna seem really like, oh, my God. T- there’s always one where you go, “Oh, I already knew about that one.” That’s your first one to just really pay attention to, . So all right, one more thing that I wanna say before I go. People assume that the story of the last few years of my life is a story that you can see online. It’s a story of me sharing nights out with my friends. It’s a story of me going on trips. It’s a story of me really discovering, like, what I like to wear and how I like to show up as myself. It’s a story of me helping women and building my business. It’s, like, a beautiful story, but it’s not a story about how life got easier. My life is not easy. I’m renting. I got a cat that won’t shut up. I have a business and a whole lot of ordinary days, and there is a lot of things that I am still figuring out. It’s not that things got easy. It’s that I stopped needing it to be easy before I made it mine, and that’s the thing that’s available to you way, way, way earlier than you think it is. You don’t have to have it all sorted out before you’re allowed to claim it as yours. You can be in the middle of the mess and still build something with an intention and a purpose. You already know what your habit list is, so say it out loud. Figure out your one thing. And I think when you can do that, I think that is how you live a big life. All right, everyone, I love you guys so much. I will see you guys next week. Thanks for joining me on The Art of Living Big.

Supporting Others Without Losing Yourself — Part 1 Why is everyone getting on your nerves lately—even the people you love? If you've found yourself unusually irritated, resentful, exhausted, or quietly thinking, "Please, nobody ask me for one more thing," it doesn't automatically mean you've become angry, selfish, ungrateful, or impossible to please. But, something important could be trying to get your attention. In this first episode of Supporting Others Without Losing Yourself, I'm exploring what happens when caring for the people, work, and responsibilities that matter to us quietly becomes carrying too much of them. And we're not starting with boundaries. We're not fixing anything yet. We're starting with something that can be deceptively simple, but it the most important place to start: Noticing. Because the irritation, angry tears, exhaustion, resentment, or desire to run away from everyone for five uninterrupted minutes may not be the actual problem. They may be the way the problem is finally making itself visible. In this episode I share a deeply personal story from the early postpartum years of my marriage. Neither one of us was the villain. We were two exhausted people trying to run an old operating system inside a completely new life—and naming what was happening helped us finally see the problem together. Because sometimes something needs your attention without needing to be anyone's fault. In This Episode, We Explore Why irritability and resentment can be information rather than character flaws What can happen when caring quietly becomes carrying Why we often focus on changing everyone around us before asking what's happening inside us The difference between having a big feeling and needing to make a big decision Why recognition—not fixing—is the first step toward meaningful change Three Things to Carry With You 1. Your Feelings Aren't a Verdict. They're Information. Feeling resentful doesn't automatically mean there's something wrong with your relationship. Feeling exhausted by people you love doesn't mean you don't love them. Feeling irritated with your children doesn't make you a terrible parent. Your feelings may be telling you that something needs attention—but they don't automatically tell you what the solution needs to be. 2. It Doesn't Have to Be Anyone's Fault We can become so focused on figuring out who is responsible that we miss the more useful question: What is happening here? Sometimes nobody needs to become the villain before something is allowed to change. Your experience can simply be true. And that truth can be enough to start a conversation. 3. Your Experience Doesn't Have to Become an Emergency Before It Deserves Attention You don't have to wait until you're completely depleted. Until the relationship is falling apart. Until you hate your job. Until you're crying in the car. Until the metaphorical house is on fire. You're allowed to notice the smoke. The Heart of This Conversation Your experience doesn't have to become an emergency before it deserves your attention. Sometimes the irritation is the signal. The resentment is the signal. The exhaustion is the signal. The "I swear if one more person asks me for something…" is the signal. You don't have to judge it. And you don't have to immediately act on it. You can get curious about it.   Your feelings aren't a verdict. They're information.   A Gentle Practice This week, when you notice yourself feeling irritated, resentful, exhausted, or just plain done, resist the urge to immediately solve it. Instead, ask yourself two questions: What am I feeling? What might I need? Then see what happens if you listen without immediately talking yourself out of the answer. If This Episode Resonates Share it with the person who loves their people deeply—and is also quietly tired of everybody needing something from them. This is Part One of Supporting Others Without Losing Yourself. We're starting with recognition because we can't meaningfully change something we haven't learned how to see yet. My hope is that every conversation leaves you feeling a little more understood, a little less alone, and a little more curious about yourself. Come when you're ready. Stay as long as you need. Take what serves you. Leave the rest.

On this episode of Unsupervised Learning we have a double-feature with Richard Hanania and Steve Sailer. Hanania holds a law degree from the University of Chicago and a PhD in political science from UCLA, and was previously a research fellow at Columbia University's Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies. He founded the Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology (CSPI) and writes the popular Substack newsletter Richard Hanania's Newsletter, where he covers politics, foreign policy, and social science from a heterodox, broadly libertarian-leaning perspective; his book The Origins of Woke argued that civil rights law, rather than culture alone, drives modern identity politics. His latest book is Kakistocracy: Why Populism Ends in Disaster. Steve Sailer is an American journalist and blogger, born in 1958 in Los Angeles, who worked in market research before turning to full-time writing in the 1990s, contributing to National Review, The American Conservative, Taki's Magazine, and the webzine VDARE, as well as his long-running personal blog. He is best known for coining the term "human biodiversity" (HBD) and for pioneering a data-heavy style of commentary on race, immigration, IQ, crime, and demographics. This approach made him persona non grata in mainstream outlets. Long relegated to the fringes and often labeled a race-science promoter by critics, he published an anthology, Noticing, in 2024. In the first hour, Razib and Hanania discuss his career, his use of social media, and his new book. They delve into the rise of populism, defining it as a movement that divides society into righteous masses and corrupt elites. Hanania argues that populism often leads to poor economic performance and authoritarianism. They also touch on the impact of AI on the legal profession, the role of social media in amplifying fringe views, and the challenges of immigration and institutional trust. Hanania expresses a preference for a merit-based immigration system and criticizes the identitarian deference on both the left and right. In the second hour, Razib and Sailer discuss the demographic and economic changes in Southern California, highlighting the impact of Latino immigration and the rise of new immigrant groups from the former Soviet Union. They recount the environmental movement's role in halting development in Beverly Hills and the potential of robot taxis to transform urban commuting. Sailer reflects on the decline of Chicago's Fortune 500 companies and the challenges faced by cities built on water transport. They also discuss the evolution of race and IQ debates and the importance of affirmative action in diverse fields. Likely to the surprise of many Sailer defends affirmative action for black Americans. He also expresses optimism for the future, despite the current political climate.  

A Whisper for the Quiet Hopeful Some nights, hope is the smallest, quietest thing you carry — a single flame held steady through long silence. This is a five-minute whisper for the quiet hopeful: the one still believing, even when the news is quiet and the answer is slow. Ava Chen speaks gently into the space between waiting and arrival, offering a steady hand on the chest, a permission to rest, and a quiet reminder that the thing you are hoping for is also hoping for you. This brief meditation is a soft place to land when faith feels thin and the waiting has been long. It is a five-minute invitation to breathe, to notice the small steady flame you have been tending, and to trust the unfolding of your own story. Whether you are waiting for a sign, a change, a person, or simply a kinder morning, this whisper is a reminder that thin belief is still belief — and quiet faith is the kind that lasts. ⏱ 0:00 — A welcome for the hopeful heart ⏱ 0:29 — Holding hope through the long quiet ⏱ 1:30 — Noticing the steady flame ⏱ 2:15 — When faith feels thin ⏱ 2:57 — A gentle hand on the chest ⏱ 3:51 — Trusting the unfolding ⏱ 4:37 — Setting the worry down ⏱ 5:03 — Rest now, dear heart Best listened to with eyes closed, headphones optional, in a quiet room where you can give yourself a few minutes of being held by your own tenderness.

A gentle five minutes for the small ceremony of coming home to yourself.If you have been out in the world all day, holding a shape that is not quite yours, this whisper is for you. The moment the door closes. The shoes by the wall. The first real breath. The quiet that has been waiting for you, the way a cat waits by the door, the way a candle waits for a match.Ava offers the practice of returning. Noticing the shoulders drop. Noticing the body finally allowed to be the body again. Noticing that you are already home, you just have not told yourself yet. The quiet was always yours, and it has been here, humming, keeping the small things safe, ready to wrap around you the moment you walked in.You are not late. You are not lazy. You are a quiet returner, and the answer is always yes. Of course, come in. I have been keeping the light on for you.Settle in. Breathe. Let the day ask less of you. And then, very gently, let the quiet hold you. It has been practicing too.Chapters0:00 — The Small Ceremony of Coming Home1:30 — The Practice of Returning3:00 — The Quiet Has Been WaitingThis short reflection is part of Whisper Minutes, a daily five-minute series for Your Quiet Moment.

Healing rarely happens all at once. More often, it comes through small steps we almost miss. In this episode, I share the story of a little gosling that reminded me of God's gentle presence in our own seasons of healing and growth. Together, we'll reflect on where we can see evidence of God's quiet work in our lives—even when we're not yet where we hope to be.   >> Journal Gently: An 8-week guided journaling experience for women who feel the weight of unspoken grief, lingering hurt, or emotional exhaustion http://karibartkus.com/journalgently   RELATED EPISODES: ·       Episode 205: Participating in Our Healing: A Conversation with Heather O'Brien ·       Episode 189: When Healing Takes Longer Than You Hoped ·       Episode 178: Exploring Our Stories One Piece at a Time ______   >> Book Kari as a speaker for your next event: http://karibartkus.com/speaking   >> Free Journaling Workshop: 3 ways to encounter God on the pages of your journal http://karibartkus.com/journalingworkshop   >> Imagine Devotional (Website | Amazon)

Why do we so often wait until our relationship is in crisis before we do something about it?In this episode of Geordie Lass & Doc Sass, we explore the slow, often almost invisible slide from feeling connected to simply going through the motions.Sometimes there's a big event that knocks a relationship sideways. But often it's much quieter. We stop making time for each other. Appreciation disappears. Conversations become functional. We tell ourselves it's just a busy month, work is stressful or things will get better when life calms down. Until one day we wonder: how did we get here?❤️ THE DESK OF LOVEWe start with research into what happens when women earn more than their male partners, and why the real issue may be less about who brings home the bigger salary and more about who is still carrying the mental load.When one person is managing the appointments, childcare, holidays, meals, laundry and household admin, resentment can quietly build.And yes, we somehow end up discussing that age-old relationship battleground: the dishwasher.

As we continue to see specialty coffee shops grow and expand into the furthest reaches of the globe, one thing remains an enduring value to customers. That feeling of belonging. A sense that the hospitality and the good will of those providing it are genuine makes every cup taste sweet and the memory of the experience even sweeter.  Perhaps no professional in recent years better embodies these values than today's guest, Monique (Mo) Maravilla! Mo is a Filipino entrepreneur, coffee roaster, educator, traveler, and champion of joyful hospitality. Her journey began on the guest side of the bar, appreciating the way a single cup could hold identity, story, and connection all at once. Her passion for community and representation led her to open Kindness and Mischief Coffee Roasters in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles in 2016. Noticing a severe lack of women — and particularly women of color — behind the bar, at the roaster, and at the helm of their own shops, she started learning to roast in 2017 and became the first Filipino woman roaster in Los Angeles. Coffee became her chosen medium to create meaningful connections, experiences, and safe, inclusive spaces for others, especially those in marginalized groups. After 12 years running K+M, Mo created Studio Tigre to continue to challenge what the coffee world looks and feels like, and who gets to lead it. Inspired by her Filipino heritage and the symbolism of the tiger, she built a brand that is boldly designed, radically anti-gatekeeping, and rooted in community. Her mission: help people feel confident, capable, and celebrated in the spaces where craft and culture meet — because when you're not offered a seat at the table, you build your own.  We discuss: Going from audiovisual engineering to coffee entrepreneurship The importance of community and authentic relationships in business Designing coffee spaces for joy, warmth, and connection Lessons learned from running Kindness and Mischief after 12 years The role of boundaries and self-awareness in in being an owner Studio Tigre as a creative extension and omakase coffee experience The journey of learning roasting and sharing knowledge Balancing passion, business growth, and personal well-being   REGISTER NOW FOR THE SUMMER WEBINAR SERIES!  Build a Stronger Coffee Shop: One Step at a Time Great coffee shops don't happen by accident. They are built by hiring the right people, training them well, and leading them with clarity and consistency.

Send us Fan Mail Joy gets talked about like it's either a constant mood or a reward for people with “good” lives. We don't buy that. In this conversation with writer and observer Peg Guilfoyle, author of An Eye for Joy: Noticing the Good World Everywhere, we explore a more grounded idea: everyday joy is a capacity you can build by training your attention toward what is beautiful, funny, interesting, or quietly human. Peg shares the simple dinner table question she asked her kids and how it grew into a lifelong noticing practice. We dig into the biggest misconception about joy, why many thoughtful people feel guilty when they try to focus on good things, and how you can widen your lens so that what is hard and what is good can both be true at the same time. Along the way, we talk about the mental health value of tiny moments: a stranger singing in a park, a flash of eye contact, a small story that makes you feel less alone. You'll also hear practical, doable ways to build joy into a busy life: spending time with enthusiastic people, following curiosity and backstory, revisiting old passions like blowing on glowing embers, and learning from the way young children see everything as new. If joy has faded slowly “the way color fades,” Peg offers a compassionate path back that starts small and builds momentum. If you want more tools for resilience, mindfulness, and emotional wellbeing that actually fit real life, listen now.

This is the very last residential retreat of 2026 — and it begins tomorrow. If part of you has been circling it, this is the moment.  After tomorrow, there won't be another chance to gather like this — overnight, in one house, at the wild edge of the continent. Fear to Freedom Retreat · Olympic Peninsula · begins tomorrow, Saturday 7pm. One bed remains, in a shared room. $1,760 covers everything, meals and all. Take the last bed → workwithgrace.com (The next retreat after this is women-only, October 29–November 1 in Seattle — a four-day Day of the Dead/Samhain gathering on loss, grief, and anger, where you'll stay nearby or commute daily. So this one tomorrow is the last residential one of the year.) Here's what came up this morning. It was First Friday — our open inquiry session, you can watch it below — and we looked at a concept that lives at the center of the human condition:  I need life to go a certain way. And I need it not to go a painful way. One inquirer had found two job listings. Both look great. She sees herself as an ideal candidate for each. Interviews are coming. Will she get one? What will it be like? Wouldn't that be amazing, says the mind. And everyone found their own version: A 43rd anniversary that needs to be romantic. A kid being delivered to college — packing, finances, logistics, all of it in order first. An event to attend, with no clear way to get there. A spouse who leaves things out instead of putting them away. Agreement, please, on the internet. It's incredible how fast the mind offers up the ideal version and the terrible version.  Avoid the terrible. Pray for the fabulous. Why question this at all? Because it's stressful to grip what we hope will happen, and stressful to meet what we don't want.  And underneath it all sits what I want — is that really where I want to live?  Referenced entirely from Me, Myself, and I and this personal life navigating through the world? Who am I without the story of needing it to go "my" favorable way? Willing. Open. Curious.  Genuinely interested in finding out however it goes. We've all watched something "terrible" turn out to open a door, right?  A new direction, a change we'd never have chosen that turned out to be deeply good.  So how can we ever be sure the threatening thing is bad? We don't even know that about death itself! Who are we without our stories? That's the whole invitation of this retreat. Come find out — in a small circle, with a lake and an ocean and a week of unhurried time to actually look. It starts tomorrow. There's one bed left. Join us by taking the very last bed at the retreat →workwithgrace.com And even if you never attend retreat....isn't it profound to consider your mind is not the conductor of the universe, that it may not have all the answers, that it doesn't NEED to know?  Wow. How fun. How amazing. 

What if the thing that takes a man down isn't his sin — it's his pride in hiding it?In this episode, I sit down with Pastor Timothy Allen — 43 years walking with Christ, 20+ years of pastoral ministry, and a longtime prison chaplain — for a conversation that hit close to home for both of us. Timothy shares how God called a man who'd never been arrested to a ministry behind bars, and tells an unforgettable story of an inmate who turned down the plea deal he'd prayed for because God said "tell them no" — and what happened next.We dig into his book Before the Fall and why pride, not sin, is what ultimately brings a man down. Timothy breaks down the "slow drift" — how a heading that's off by just one degree looks fine at first but leaves you miles off course — and why every man needs brothers who will carry his mat, tell him the truth even when he gets mad, and never leave him halfway there.I also open up about my own fall, the 15 years I ran from God, and the man who sat with me at a Wendy's and changed my life by refusing to judge me.If you've ever felt yourself coasting, isolating, or hiding a struggle because of what people might say — this one's for you.

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Start with this training: Stop Trying to “Fix” Your ADHD. You're Not Broken: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/sign-up_____About one in nine adults is on a GLP-1 right now. And women with ADHD kept telling me the exact same thing after starting GLP-1 medications: they expected to lose weight, but they did not expect their brains to feel different.The brain fog lifted. The food noise got quieter. Energy felt steadier. Emotional reactions became easier to interrupt. For some, inflammation, pain, bloating, cravings, and compulsive behaviors changed too.So I brought back Dr. Kalin Johnson to tell us whether there is real science behind that or whether we are getting ahead of the evidence. Kalin is a licensed clinical pharmacist, functional medicine wellness coach, and patient advocate who runs a concierge whole-person care practice for high-achieving, high-masking neurodivergent adults. She is also queer, ADHD, autistic, and living with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and this is her fourth time on the show.In this episode, Kalin and I get into how GLP-1 receptors communicate across the gut, brain, pancreas, immune system, and vagus nerve, and why that matters for ADHD women. They also talk about food noise, brain fog, inflammation, metabolic health, emotional regulation, microdosing, side effects, muscle loss, access, and what the research still cannot tell us.ResourcesWebsite: https://www.kalinjohnson.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kalinpharmdLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kalin-johnsonpharmdAnia Jastreboff, MD - Director of the Yale Obesity Research Center, principal investigator on many of the landmark trials for tirzepatide and retatrutide.

I think I'm a little over the mental health conversation. I know how that sounds, so stay with me. I believe in therapy. It has helped me more than I can say, and I'll keep doing the work. This isn't about anxiety, or burnout, or real trauma. Those are their own conversations, and they matter. This is about something else, something that started out helpful and quietly turned into something I'm not sure is helping us anymore. Here's what I keep noticing. Every uncomfortable feeling has become a red flag. Every hard week has to mean something. We've built this whole vocabulary, attachment style, nervous system, activated, aligned, not aligned, and we've started reaching for it to describe a bad Wednesday. Somewhere in there we forgot the difference between something being hard and something being wrong. They feel almost the same in the body. They are not the same thing. So I get into how you actually tell them apart, because that's the muscle I think we've lost. Hard gets quieter when you sit with it. Wrong gets louder. Hard makes you bigger. Wrong makes you smaller. Hard moves through and ends. Wrong feels the same today as it did three months ago. And then I get honest about my own life, the modeling shoot at fourteen where I froze, the year I moved to Canada and was depressed the whole time and stayed anyway, marrying Gary at twenty-one through all the judgment, filming my first videos alone and cringing the entire time. If I'd read any of that as a sign to stop, I wouldn't have the life I have now. I'm not saying this from the other side of it. I'm in it this week, still catching myself calling something "not aligned" when the truth is I was just scared. But I'd rather be the woman who tried the thing and complained the whole way than the one who protected her peace so carefully she never learned anything about herself. There's a difference between protecting your peace and protecting your potential. This one's a developing conversation, and I want to keep having it with you.

Over the past few months, I've realized the things I can't stop thinking about aren't individual events. I can't stop thinking about some shifts happening across the world of major events. In this episode, I'm sharing some of the ideas, observations and questions that have been shaping my thinking lately, from the collision of sport, luxury and entertainment to the evolution of partnerships, guest experience and event strategy. This isn't a trend report or a list of predictions but more a conversation about what I'm noticing, what I'm curious about, and why I think it's such an exciting time to be building a career in major events.P.S.

Students, strugglers and anyone who has ever been told to just calm down need to hear this one.More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/tsvettyIn this episode of Even Tacos Fall Apart I sat down with Tsvetty, a mental health blogger and YouTuber who has lived with panic disorder, agoraphobia and depression since childhood. She is also a social work and psychology student, which means she brings both the lived experience and the textbook knowledge to the table, and that combination makes this one of the most useful conversations we have had on the show.Tsvetty walks through what it was like growing up with anxiety long before she had a name for it. Stomach aches, headaches, constant nerves, all of it chalked up to being a shy kid until her depression hit hard in middle school and her first panic attack in high school kept her out of class for almost a year. She talks openly about the ER visit, the intake worker who treated her like a burden instead of a patient, and the year of intensive outpatient therapy that finally gave her the tools to function again.We get into what actually helped. Exposure therapy for the agoraphobia. Cognitive behavioral therapy for the depression. A panic bag stocked with medication, fidget tools and breathing aids that she carried everywhere. Her dog, who forced her to leave the house on a schedule whether she felt ready or not. And distraction techniques, because the textbook answer of sitting with a panic attack and just observing it was never realistic for her, and she is honest about that.Tsvetty also breaks down her personal triggers, including one that surprised me: her own breathing. Noticing a physical sensation in her body can set off a spiral fast, which is a good reminder that panic disorder does not always need an outside trigger to show up.A big chunk of this episode is about how people talk to those of us who are struggling. Tsvetty shares the moment a loved one told her to just stop having panic attacks because they were stressful for everyone else, and we both dig into why comparing suffering, telling someone to just cheer up or suggesting a walk will fix depression does more harm than good. She makes the case, and I agree with her completely, that the brain is a physical organ and mental illness deserves to be treated that way instead of something abstract you can just decide to snap out of.We also talk about why labels and diagnoses help some people and feel limiting to others, how grounding techniques and simple yes or no questions can support someone mid panic attack, and why reframing your coping strategies when your anxiety and depression trade places is normal rather than a sign you are doing something wrong.This one is honest, a little messy in the best way and full of real strategies you can actually use, whether you live with panic disorder and agoraphobia yourself or you love someone who does.

I learnt, felt brilliant for a little while, and then Monday arrived. The finish line had moved again.We do this with money, health, work, relationships, meditation and even inner peace. We tell ourselves, "I'll be happy when..." Yet when the thing arrives, it slowly becomes normal and another carrot appears ahead of us.In this episode, I explore why wanting more is not the enemy, why happiness comes and goes, and why contentment may be a kinder aim. I share the image of the carrot that moves with the cart, the importance of pausing halfway up the mountain, and a simple practice for catching the moment we try to skip the life we are already living.This is not about giving up our goals or pretending money, health and security do not matter. It is about taking the next step without making it responsible for finally allowing us to be here.Stillness in the Storms is independent and advert free.

You just do not have to skip your life to get there.Notable quotes from the recording "What if the one thing you keep chasing is the reason you cannot be happy? Is the reason you cannot rest?"

Puedo escuchar a otra parvada de loros corona lila en la distancia. Estudio el horizonte sureño y los encuentro, una línea irregular de manchitas con alas amplias, cuellos estirados hacia adelante, aleteando fuerte. Son 17 en este grupo.Debajo de ellos, el paisaje se extiende hasta el horizonte: desde el Océano Pacífico detrás de ellos y la planicie costera de verde exuberante por abajo, hasta las estribaciones azules de la Sierra por adelante. No sé a dónde van o qué están viendo, cómo van a sobrevivir los huracanes y sequía de este año de El Niño. Pero puedo imaginarlo, y preguntarme. Puedo ser inspirado por Richard Louv a buscar la naturaleza donde yo esté, a cultivar mi curiosidad, a prestar atención profunda e imaginar otros mundos.*******El podcast de este mes se trata del poder de prestar atención a la naturaleza. Exploramos la ecología urbana de los zanates mayores (Quiscalus mexicanus) en mi barrio en Oaxaca, México; escuchamos unas citas narradas por el autor internacionalmente reconocido Richard Louv de su libro más reciente, Noticing: Intimate Encounters with the Natural World (Prestando Atención: Encuentros Íntimos con la Naturaleza); y pasamos una mañana lejos del ruido de la ciudad por la planicie costera de Oaxaca, donde las parvadas del loro corona lila, una especie en peligro de extinción, nos dejan vislumbrar un poco de sus vidas.Disfruté mucho hacer esta colaboración con Richard Louv, quien muy amablemente narró varias citas de su libro Noticing para mí. En mi versión en español del podcast, traduje las citas de su libro y luego me tocó poner mi narración en español encima de la narración de Richard en inglés—la primera vez que he hecho algo así! Dime qué piensas del resultado!Como siempre, dependo del apoyo de ustedes, mis oyentes, para seguir con este proyecto.

I can hear another flock of lilac-crowned amazons approaching. I scan the southern sky and spot them, an irregular line of broad-winged specks, necks thrust forward, wings beating hard. There are 17 in this group.Below them, the landscape spreads out to the horizon: from the Pacific Ocean behind them, across the lush green coastal plain, to the blue foothills of the Sierra ahead. I don't know where they're going or what they see, how they'll survive this year's El Niño of drought and hurricanes. But I can imagine, and wonder. I can be inspired by Richard Louv to seek nature wherever I am, to cultivate my curiosity, to notice deeply and imagine otherworlds. *******This month's podcast is about the power of noticing nature. We delve into the urban ecology of great-tailed grackles in my barrio in Oaxaca, Mexico; hear some excerpts narrated by internationally acclaimed nature author Richard Louv from his most recent book, Noticing: Intimate Encounters with the Natural World; and spend a morning away from the noise of town on the Oaxacan coastal plain, where a flight of endangered lilac-crowned amazons gives us a glimpse into their lives. I had a lot of fun crafting this collaboration with Richard Louv, who was kind enough to narrate several excerpts from Noticing for me. In my Spanish version of the podcast, I got to play around with voice-over as well, as I arranged my Spanish narration of his excerpts on top of his reading in English.

Have you ever caught yourself on your birthday paying a little too much attention to your phone?Noticing who texted, who posted, who sent a voice memo? What about who just “liked” your Instagram story but didn't actually say anything? Who remembered, who didn't, and what all of that might mean about how much they care about you.For most of us, birthdays are one of the only times we explicitly tell our friends how much they mean to us. It's the one day when all the evidence gets collected: did they remember, did they make an effort, did they show up in the way I hoped they would?And if there aren't many other moments throughout the year where we are saying these things out loud, then of course the birthday starts to feel loaded.So in today's episode, I'm talking about how we can build a culture inside our friendships where affirmation, appreciation, and “you matter to me” moments are not saved for one day a year. Your birthday can still be special, but it probably shouldn't have to carry the full weight of proving where you stand in someone's life.In this episode you'll hear about:Why birthdays can start to feel like a friendship test, even when nobody wants them to be oneWhy a birthday text, card, party, or forgotten message can feel so loaded when there is not enough “you matter to me” evidence What story roots have to do with birthday expectations, and why our brains write loud stories about itHow voice memos, shared notes, and friendship check-ins can help build a culture of affirmation beyond birthdaysResources & LinksEpisode 12: Digging Into the 3 Types of Friendship RootsEpisode 37: You Don't Need to Understand People to Accept ThemEpisode 70: Separating Our Own Friendship Beliefs from Our Children's with Pam HowardEpisode 179: What Is Friendship Culture?

This week Michelle guides us through a reflection on the past month of diving into scripture and specifically into the book of 1st Corinthians. 

Our alphabet is history's junk drawer. Why Q Needs U author Danny Bate traces letters back through 4,000 years of pictures, invasions, and happy accidents.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1362What We Discuss with Danny Bate:How the alphabet became civilization's 4,000-year-old junk drawer of borrowed symbols, stitched together from Egyptian pictures, Greek tweaks, and Roman branding: not a language at all, but a wildly successful technology shared across English, Spanish, and dozens of unrelated tongues.Why a capital A is secretly an upside-down ox, and Q is a monkey that kept its tail to this day, O began as a lashed human eye, and R traces back to an ancient word for "head" that still lives inside the Hebrew rosh.How dropping the vowels turned writing into an MP3 file. Semitic workers in Egypt around 1900 BC repurposed hieroglyphs into one symbol per consonant, trading the beauty of pictograms for something fast, portable, and simple enough to spread across the ancient world.Why English spelling looks broken at first glance. Letters sit frozen while sounds quietly drift, so Caxton's 15th-century printing press locked in words whose silent K's and GH's were once fully pronounced, leaving competing rules that only look like anarchy.What a gloriously messy alphabet can teach us about each other. Because our spelling fits no single accent perfectly, it clunkily serves everyone at once. Noticing that gap between speech and spelling is a standing invitation to be more curious and generous about how other people talk.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Richard Louv is an American journalist and Audubon Medal winning author best known for his 2005 bestselling book Last Child in the Woods. His work focuses heavily on the psychological, physical, and cognitive benefits of human-nature interaction across all ages. He coined the term "nature-deficit disorder" to describe the behavioral and health consequences of children becoming increasingly detached from unstructured, outdoor play and the natural world. On this episode, Louv returns to Nature Revisted to talk about discovering who we are by noticing things about the natural world through exploration. Louv shows how, by tapping into the thirty or more human senses we have, we can develop skills––sensory, scientific, artistic, and spiritual––to see, experience, and become enchanted by the otherworlds of nature. https://richardlouv.com https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/richard-louv/noticing/9781643753034/ Listen to Nature Revisited on your favorite podcast apps, on YouTube, or at https://noordenproductions.com Subscribe on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/bdz4s9d7 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/5n7yx28t Subscribe on Youtube Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/bddd55v9 Podlink: https://pod.link/1456657951 Support Nature Revisited https://noordenproductions.com/support Nature Revisited is produced by Stefan van Norden and Charles Geoghegan.

Magic was never scary to me. That’s why finding out I was afraid of it caught me completely off guard and left me spinning. For years I’d been working with magic without calling it that.  I wrote little songs for myself, repeated like chants, to help me manifest a newspaper column, my husband, and plenty of smaller things along the way. I didn’t think of it as magic but as a way to focus my energy. However, once my magic coach pointed out what I was actually doing, an old fear surfaced right alongside the curiosity. I had no idea where it came from. That question sent me looking for an answer, and what I found was a protective wall around my own heart. Two walls, actually, discovered years apart, protecting two very different parts of my life. Here’s both stories, plus what I’m doing about it at a live event on July 29th. The Cage Around My Heart Back in 2020, stuck inside during Covid like everyone else, I started working with a magic coach named Mikala. She helped me see the magic I’d already been using for years without naming it. That was exciting and also the moment the fear showed up. It wasn’t rational. I wasn’t casting spells or doing anything harmful, just directing my energy toward what I wanted. But the dread was real once I discovered this was magic. So, I went looking for its source the way I usually do with past-life work. This is a healing modality I’ve relied on for close to 30 years. The Akashic Records had already revealed plenty to me about past lives and how they influence me today. Like why calligraphy came so naturally. I had been a monk illuminating Bibles in the Middle Ages, as it turned out. This time, what I found was darker. I discovered a life in Venice that ended with my head removed for practicing magic with a group. There was also a pattern of betrayal tied to magic showing up more than once. So by 2022, I decided to finally work through it using a meditation based on Dr. Bradley Nelson’s Emotion Code He created this idea that we sometimes create a protective wall around the heart that can block us instead of helping us. Asking to See the Wall I set my intention to heal my fear of magic. Then I asked to see the wall in this gentle meditation. What appeared was a stone dungeon. I was standing inside a metal cage, spikes pointing inward at heart level which seems like something straight out of a horror film. I didn’t know how to dismantle it myself, so I asked my guides to handle it. The metal melted into a puddle at my feet. Then it reformed into a metal plate with two interlocking hearts, one pointed down and one pointed up, woven together like the Star of David. I stopped the meditation right there, went to my computer, and looked up the symbol. It represents unity. One heart and the end of duality. Whoa – that felt important. Going back into the meditation, I asked what that meant for me and my magic. The answer was to stand on the plate whenever I do magic now. It will keep me safe. I still don’t cast spells or light ritual candles, though there’s nothing wrong with that path for someone else. However, these days I talk about magic openly with clients, with friends, or anyone curious enough to ask. A few years ago I never would have said that out loud. Is Your Subconscious Keeping You Too Safe? Fast forward to this year, I decided to share this powerful, yet completely safe process. So, I created the live Heart Wall Meditation event for July 29th. To go a bit deeper, I thought the best thing was to run the process on myself again, but this time with a different intention which was friendship. Midlife has a way of thinning out your circle of friends. People move, pass away, and drift apart. Each time it happened, I told myself I’d go make new friends, and then did nothing. That bothered me, because I’m a social person who works alone at home and genuinely craves connection. So, why the stall? I sat down and asked my subconscious to show me what was in the way. A wall appeared but this time it was brick, not a metal cage. Big, solid, and completely unexpected. I was totally shocked! I asked the wall if it had a message for me and it explained why it was there. Then I asked if I could take it down and got an immediate yes. I decided to have some fun with it and imagined a ray gun. One blast and the wall came apart, leaving a pile of rubble. I told the rubble to sink into the earth and be recycled. Gone. Except I wasn’t quite finished. Something told me to look again, and a white stockade fence appeared. It was six or seven feet tall, points on top, and solid. I imagined a saw and cut a doorway in the middle, then walked through to the other side. Nothing there but open grass. When I turned back, I gave the fence a gentle push and it fell flat, then dissolved. Remove Old Walls of Protection Two walls, two completely different methods to demolish them. One I blew apart, the other I removed gently. Both ways worked just as well! That’s the part that surprises people most. Your subconscious isn’t working against you. There’s no battle required. It’s simply doing its job to protect you, but with outdated information. That means you don’t actually need it and get to choose how you clear it. Fierce or gentle, the wall still comes down either way. What struck me afterward is that I’d cleared heart walls before around magic, around business. But it never occurred to me to check friendship. Now I’m more open to new people than I’ve been in years. What This Means For You Both stories point to the same truth. Your subconscious builds walls to protect you, using old information that may no longer apply. The protection can end up costing you more than it saves, whether that’s your magic, your business, your relationships, or your sense of safety in the world. The good news is that you don’t need decades of past-life work, shadow work or inner child digging to find your own wall. You just need a willingness to see it, ask what it’s doing, and be rid of it. If any of this stirred something in you, I’m hosting a live Heart Wall Meditation on July 29th where we’ll go through the process together. You can register here. Does Your Heart Have A Wall Protecting You From Something You Want? A heart wall is a protective barrier around the heart. It might look like a wall of some kind in front of you or some other protective mechanism in meditation. It could be metal, brick, glass, or a fence that shields you from old pain. The problem is it can also block what you want now. Fear of something you love or desire, like intuition, love, or a thriving business, can exist side by side with genuine enthusiasm for it. The two aren’t contradictory. Heart walls can show up around any part of life including spiritual growth, creativity, career, family, and you may have more than one without realizing it. You can clear a heart wall by any creative method that you imagine. It might be with force like throwing a grenade to demolish it or gently by simply opening a door or pushing it over. Both are equally effective. Your subconscious mind isn’t an obstacle you have to fight. Thankfully, it’s job is to protect you, often using outdated information. That’s why the walls come down more easily than you’d expect once you become aware of them and ask. Noticing a pattern of avoidance in your life, like a friendship you keep meaning to build or a goal you keep circling, is often a sign that a protective heart wall is involved. FAQs What is a heart wall? A heart wall is a protective barrier the subconscious builds around the heart, often in response to past pain or trauma. It’s meant to keep you safe, but it can also block love, opportunity, or connection you’re consciously trying to invite in. Can you have more than one heart wall? Yes. Heart walls tend to be specific to different areas of life. It’s entirely possible to clear one around business or intuition, and still have another, separate wall around friendship, love, or health that hasn’t been addressed yet. How do you clear a heart wall? Through a guided visualization, you ask to see the wall, then ask permission to remove it. The method varies from person to person. Some walls dissolve gently, others need to be broken apart. But both approaches are equally effective at clearing the block. Is a heart wall the same as a limiting belief? They’re related but not identical. A limiting belief is a thought pattern; a heart wall is more of a protective structure the subconscious builds around it. Clearing the wall often makes the underlying belief far easier to shift. What can a heart wall block besides love? A heart wall can block any form of connection or flow including creativity, magic, friendship, business success, romance, or receiving support from others.

A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM STEPHANIE:I want to share a special invitation with you. You may have heard that I will be releasing my first book with IVP on July 28, 2026. It's a big deal and I am so overwhelmed with God' goodness in allowing me to share such an essential message about delighting in Him as the true essential foundation for all our spiritual growth and maturing. Truly, when we delight in the Lord, He promises to give us the desires of our hearts – namely, more of Himself!So, here's the invitation. If you feel this message is indeed important, and you know people – including yourself perhaps – who need to be encouraged to awaken and cultivate their delight in God, would you consider joining my book launch team? It's a great and super easy way to share the good news of God's love for us in Christ, Jesus, our Lord.**If you're interested, please go to gospelspice.com/awakendelight and find the section about joining the launch team, or email me at contact@gospelspice.com **Together, let's encourage everyone we know with the wonderful news that, in Christ, God delights in us and invites us to delight in Him!Stephanie Rousselle welcomes returning guests Andi Ashworth and Charlie Peacock for a reflective and practical exploration of what it means to delight in God—especially in the ordinary and difficult seasons of life.Delighting in God is a daily discipline rooted in noticing, gratitude, humility, and relational engagement. Andi Ashworth and Charlie Peacock illustrate that wonder and joy can be found at “the molecular level” of life, as we learn to see reality with the eyes of heaven.Cultivating delight in God starts with intentional attention—slowing down to observe and appreciate even the small gifts in daily life. Andi Ashworth describes how, after a busy season promoting their book, she cultivated a new practice: sitting quietly in her small perennial garden, reading Scripture, praying, and simply noticing the details of creation—birdsong, blooming flowers, the work of bees. Over time, this intentional noticing awakened deeper gratitude and joy in the presence of God, even as life's hardships persisted.Delight is a daily practice, a choice to “step into reality” and seek God's presence even in suffering. This deliberate practice transforms pain into moments of worship and gratitude. Charlie Peacock shares that delight in God is not dependent on favorable circumstances or feelings of happiness. Suffering—including his chronic headache of nearly ten years—taught him to seek and experience God's presence regardless of pain. He emphasizes that true delight must be able to exist within difficulty, or it is not truly delight.Intimacy and delight with God are relational and participatory. God invites us to pursue Him, and as we do, He meets us. Sometimes we wait passively for God to manifest delight, and other times we strive to create it in our own strength. In reality, pursuing delight is a “dance”—God initiates and leads, but we must actively respond and show up, especially when delight seems elusive.Hardships, while unwelcome, often become ministers of grace, rooting us in humility and expanding our capacity for love and presence. Through chronic pain and other challenges, both Andi Ashworth and Charlie Peacock have experienced God's grace and a deepening humility. Charlie Peacock notes how his “thorn” limits self-reliance and ambition, drawing him toward greater dependence on Christ and shaping him into Christ's likeness. Andi Ashworth observes that their limitations have expanded their hearts and increased their compassion for others.Never outgrow asking your good Father for small joys. Delight in God blossoms in those who cultivate grateful, attentive hearts. Both guests encourage maintaining childlike wonder and gratitude—even for small blessings like a hot shower, a well-timed parking space, or serendipitous tickets to an event. These moments, prayed for and received as gifts, reinforce God's goodness and nearness.Practices to Foster DelightStart each day with gratitude for basic abilities and provisions.Notice small joys—in nature, family, daily routines—and thank God specifically.Pray about “matters of mutual concern”: what matters to God, matters to us.Accept and embrace limitations as invitations to deeper dependence and presence.Reflection question: What small gift might God be inviting you to notice—and delight in—today? MORE ABOUT "AWAKEN DELIGHT" BY STEPHANIE ROUSSELLE"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart."

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with authors Nicholaos Papadopoulos and Jacob Fishbein to pull back the curtain on a decade-long journey of writing their debut novel, The Men's Group: A Novel of Messy Friendships. What happens when a cynical, skeptical man walks into a room full of strangers—convinced he's surrounded by losers in a cult—only to find his deepest masks ripped away? Instead of delivering another rigid self-help manual, Nicholaos and Jacob reveal why raw storytelling is the ultimate vehicle for dismantling male isolation, confronting hidden addiction, and facing the silent internal stories that quietly drive men toward self-sabotage. From facing terminal diagnoses to exploring why true strength lies in internal self-reflection, this conversation uncovers what actually happens when men dare to drop their guard and show up when it matters most.

Author Richard Louv's groundbreaking book "Last Child in the Woods" had a generation of parents rethinking screen time. His latest book features the science (and imagination) of bioenchantment.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I'm sharing a handful of random observations that have been on my mind lately. From why I think we've normalized way too much caffeine and energy drink consumption, to the surprising connection between mobility, longevity, and how we feel every day. I'm also talking about the rise of dumbbell-only workouts, why the internet needs less mom-on-mom criticism, how the word "luxury" has completely lost its meaning, and what happens when you step away from your phone and simply exist in the silence for a minute. It's a casual conversation full of thoughts, trends, and little things I've been noticing that I can't stop thinking about.This episode is sponsored by Natural Cycles!

I quit my family without ever leaving the house. I was still there — dinner table, same roof, same bed — and I was already gone.This is the story of how it happened without me noticing, what it cost me, and what finally turned it around.This is some of the hardest work a man will ever do, and almost no man does it alone.Reclaim The Man Within FREE Series: https://linktw.in/wIkEXAJoin The Agoge Communityhttps://linktw.in/klytYf

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me. Sometimes anxiety grows stronger when we resist what we're feeling. This mindful meditation helps you observe resistance with curiosity and compassion, creating more space for acceptance, calm, and emotional healing. Meet this moment exactly as it is and discover the peace available within it. Love,

Dr. Alan Castel, PhD, is a professor of psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and one of the world's foremost experts on human memory and cognitive aging. We discuss what science actually tells us about how to improve our learning ability and memory at any age. We also discuss how memory works, why all planning and imagination about the future is based on the past, false memories, and how to leverage curiosity, emotion, and self-testing retrieval practice to stamp in memories for the long term. We discuss what "superagers"—people who actually improve their cognitive capacity with age—do differently than everyone else. This episode is for anyone interested in the science of memory and tools to maintain and improve your memory across the lifespan.
