Podcasts about noticing

Send Steve a Text MessageEver feel like your practice sessions are busy but not better? We dig into a simple, reliable way to turn scattered effort into musical progress by pairing long-term plays with short-term wins—and then slicing through both to make actual songs and solos. No fluff, just a clear path to move from shapes and theory to sound and feel.We start by reframing what practice is for: long plays like clean picking, fretboard navigation, and music theory build deep capability, but they only pay off when you connect them to short wins such as a tight strum, a memorized riff, or a two-position solo that lands on chord tones. From there, we explore how expression lives beyond scales—timing, dynamics, vibrato, bends, and space—so your lines tell a story instead of tracing a diagram. You'll hear practical ways to choose what to study now, how to avoid the “forever student” trap, and when to leave topics like the circle of fifths on the bench while you strengthen core skills.We also share a layered practice structure you can run in under an hour: technical control with a metronome, visual mapping of chords and scales, bite-size theory or ear training on breaks, and focused musical play over a song or backing track. Short on time? Use constraints—two notes, one motif, or triads on top strings—to force phrasing and creativity. Whether your target is strumming songs, jamming with friends, or improvising blues and rock, this approach keeps you advancing today while building the foundation for tomorrow.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who's stuck in a rut, and leave a quick review telling us your one long play and two short wins for the week.

What if the secret to real resilience isn't just powering through, but learning to pause—even when it's the absolute hardest thing to do? I've been there myself, caught in the frantic pace, feeling like the world's too loud and demanding. Maybe you too, as a leader, find it easy to keep going… until suddenly, you realize you don't even know how you feel anymore. You're supposed to be strong, to keep it together. But honestly, is pushing through actually helping you, or just holding you together by a thread? So many leaders believe resilience means being tough and unbreakable. But the truth, as Dr. Ute Liersch and I explore in this episode, is that resilience is about yielding and noticing the real experience, even when it's frustrating. When we slow down enough to notice what's going on inside, we can actually respond flexibly, adapt, and find our footing again. Today, we're reframing resilience and looking to the deeper work of psychological flexibility and awareness. This is about building a daily ritual of noticing, connecting, moving, expressing, and realigning with what matters most. This isn't about achieving perfection or following someone else's script for success. This is about real, practical ways to build your noticing muscle using the resources you already have and giving yourself grace when it's hard.

During this advent season we discuss another great read, Noticing by Kobi Yamada. This story again showcases a friendship between an older woman who is a painter and a young girl. The young girl is impacted by the painters view of the world. The painter encourages the young girl to slow down, to wonder, and notice things-even those we can't see. These practices felt fitting for advent as Pope Benedict XVI reminds us in Advent Calls Us to Silence that this season is about slowing down and taking notice to the ways the Lord is pursuing us. We hope this conversation aids in creating more slowness in your season of life and a deeper desire for growth in the art of noticing. Advent Call Us to Silence: https://tandirection.com/pursuit-of-perfection/advent-calls-us-to-silence/Reading of Noticing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xwn5g5i9M74Send us your comments!

In today’s special year-end holiday episode, host Heather Creekmore welcomes author and speaker Cynthia Ruchti to the show for an uplifting conversation perfectly suited to the busy woman navigating the Christmas season. As the holidays approach, the to-do lists are long, and the “reason for the season” can easily get lost amid shopping, family obligations, and endless tasks. Heather Creekmore and Cynthia Ruchti encourage listeners to pause, ponder, and rediscover the wonder of Christmas, focusing on spiritual renewal rather than exhausting productivity. Together, they discuss Cynthia’s Christmas devotional, her insights on noticing God’s presence, embracing lingering and pondering, and shifting our attitudes to receive what God has truly prepared for us—even in the midst of chaos, disappointment, and the “distribution of labor” that often falls to women during the holidays. The episode is packed with relatable holiday circumstances, biblical reflections, real-life stories, and practical encouragement to rest in the joy, awe, and wonder that Christmas offers. Key Topics Discussed: Why slowing down and observing brings more spiritual refreshment than staying busy The power of “lingering”—with God, with loved ones, and in the moment God’s upside-down kingdom and the abundance found in trusting Him with our time and resources Noticing God in both the seen and the unseen aspects of the Christmas story The message of redemption woven throughout Scripture, from Isaiah to the nativity What holiday mishaps (yes, even broken goblets!) can teach us about perspective and joy Reframing holiday serving as a gift for ourselves, not just for others How to keep awe and wonder alive in our hearts, even when Christmas feels like another item on the checklist Practical encouragement for busy moms and grandmas feeling the holiday load Using Cynthia’s 26-day devotional for a richer, more intentional holiday season Resources & Links: Get Cynthia’s Christmas devotional book, Spirit of Christmas: Discovering His Presence (available on Amazon and hemmedinhope.com) *Amazon affiiate link, a tiny portion of your purchase will support this ministry.

Storytelling through Life's Lowest PointsThe moment your voice catches and your chest tightens can feel like the end of your story. For Lauren, it became the beginning. After a postnatal mental health break that made everyday conversations feel impossible, she chose help—counseling, integrative care, and small, steady choices that made life breathable again. That path led her to study aromatherapy seriously, blend with intention, and build Essence One around a simple idea: one honest breath can change a day.We walk through the real climb. Early farmers markets and $30 days. A State Fair booth that forced a leap from “after hours” to full-time. National retail that looks shiny from the outside, and why the spa world—Waldorf Astoria, Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons—was the right fit because it could hold both story and experience. We get specific about missteps too, like the 150,000 bottles ordered on a verbal yes, and the contract lesson that followed. Throughout, Lauren keeps the claims grounded: aromatherapy doesn't cure anxiety or depression; it's a tool alongside therapy, medication, sleep, and movement that invites a deeper inhale when you need it most.This is also a family story. Hiring her husband. Opening a retail shop inside the Disneyland spa. Teaching teens to shrink-wrap, sell, and take pride in work. Noticing when “lazy” is really misalignment—too much caffeine, too little sleep—and drawing new boundaries. We talk about storytelling as strategy and service, supporting teen mental health clubs through Bring Change to Mind, and the quiet role of faith when anxiety spikes before cameras or sales calls: prayer, music, breath, repeat.If you're a mother building a business, or a founder craving less noise and more presence, this conversation offers practical strategies, honest tradeoffs, and a reminder to define your own success.

Each of them shared a personal habit or practice that genuinely helps them cope or keep on top of their wellbeing, and I add a couple of my own strategies too. Whether you're navigating hoarding, supporting someone who is, or just looking for affordable ways to protect your own mental health, stick around for a mix of practical, honest tips to try for yourself. Special Episode Format: Compilation of Guest Advice Throughout the year, every guest was asked about habits or practices supporting their mental health. Guest Contributions: Mental Health Habits and Practices Harriet Impey (Episode 172) Mindfulness and meditation, especially mindful self-compassion (inspired by Kristin Neff). Practical examples: Being present, guided meditation, practicing non-attachment, and self-reflection on letting go of unhelpful arguments. Dr Jan Eppingstall (Episodes 174 & 204) Practicing gratitude to counterbalance negativity bias. Unsubscribing from unwanted emails to reduce anxiety and overwhelm. Interacting with pets for grounding and emotional well-being - petting animals as a stress reliever. Visiting places where animals are accessible (e.g., city farms, pet shops, animal cafes). Jasmine Sleigh (Episode 175) Importance of good sleep for mental health. Value of pleasurable activities like reading, and the paradox of sometimes resisting enjoyable activities (self-sabotage). Reflection on how engaging in enjoyable pastimes is essential even when it's difficult to get started. Sam (Episode 178) Writing things down: Keeping lists of achievements and things to be grateful for, even small joys. Acknowledging how gratitude doesn't have to be grand - simple moments count. Exercise, particularly running, or any activity that gets you outside of your current headspace (could be walking, volunteering, etc.). The role of support from others to prompt new perspectives or activities. Dr. Victoria Ruby-Granger (Episode 179) Self-awareness and accepting what works for you, rather than trying to fit yourself to methods that don't suit. Emphasis on letting go of approaches that don't align with your own needs, and being open to alternative strategies. Carrie Lagerstedt (Episode 183) Moral neutrality: Separating self-worth from issues like executive dysfunction, lateness, and messiness. Reframing these traits as value-neutral rather than personal failings, helping to build self-esteem. That Hoarder Creative self-expression: Resentful journaling, collage, and visual arts—done primarily for personal expression, not for others' approval. Permission for creative works to be imperfect and focused on process over outcome. Nature connection: Getting outside, paying attention to natural details (flowers, leaves, colours, wildlife), and practicing mindful observation to foster grounding and perspective. Importance of self-compassion, giving oneself credit for small achievements (especially with meditation or walks). Allowing yourself pleasurable, nurturing, or healing activities without guilt. Noticing the bigger world and natural cycles as a counter to internal struggles. Encouragement for listeners to reflect on which practices resonate and to share their own tips.

In this solo episode, I explore a powerful shift that's been reshaping my life and leadership: moving from owning my blessings to truly stewarding them. I share how a simple but confronting truth—“It's not good stewardship to complain about what God has already given you”—led me to reevaluate the way I was approaching my marriage, business, faith, and daily peace. Through honest reflections on success, comparison, and control, I walk you through the difference between routine and practice, ownership and stewardship, and why happiness isn't something we chase—it's something we notice. I also share the daily gratitude rituals and spiritual practices that have grounded me in presence, softened my ambition, and brought peace back into my home, my work, and my identity. If you're ready to release pressure, reconnect to what's already here, and lead from a deeper place of trust, this episode will feel like coming home. Liked this episode?

At one point in my life, every single one of those things was something I prayed for, and now they're part of my everyday reality. But somewhere along the way, I stopped treating them like miracles, and I started treating them like they were something that needed maintenance. And that's where the gratitude gap begins.” - Julie Solomon  “  There are three things that will steal your gratitude faster than anything else. Money, property, and prestige. When you put yourself in the driver's seat of those three. When you start idolizing your money, your property, or your prestige, things start to get shaky. Because that's when you start thinking you are the source of it all instead of the steward.” - Julie Solomon RESOURCES: ✨ Unscripted: My First In-Person Retreat in 2+ Years — Now Accepting Applications If you've felt your voice no longer matches the woman you've become, this intimate 2-day retreat in Nashville (Feb 5–6, 2026) is for you.

In this episode, I explore what it really means to build resilient happiness in a world that constantly overstimulates our nervous system and pulls on our attention. I talk about the quirky mix of human animal and eternal soul, and how our instincts, brain chemistry, and modern capitalism can team up to keep us stuck in emotional numbing, low level discontent, and addictive chemistry hits. I share how our emotional set point can narrow over time, so we end up stewing in familiar feelings like frustration, helplessness, or mild depression instead of allowing deeper emotions, like grief, to move through. I look at how a chronically activated fight or flight response, combined with endless opportunities for distraction and quick dopamine, makes it hard to register the quieter, sustainable forms of happiness. I also talk about miswanting and hedonistic adaptation, and why chasing big spikes of chemistry through intense relationships, major purchases, or peak experiences is not a reliable path to feeling well in everyday life. From a shamanic and practical perspective, I offer ideas for: Calming your nervous system and lowering your fight or flight baseline Noticing where you are numbing out instead of feeling what is actually present Letting emotions move through so your emotional matrix is not gummed up Recognizing when you are chasing extreme chemistry instead of true fulfillment Diversifying your sources of happiness so your well being is not tied to one thing Stacking small, attainable joys into a stable foundation of contentment My intention is to help you understand your design with more compassion, so you can partner with both your human animal and your soul. When you address emotional numbing and nervous system overload first, it becomes much easier to feel and trust the subtle, authentic happiness that is already available in your life.

Have you ever felt like your reactions are out of your control? Today, Rosie and Tamara explore the roots of self-judgment and shame with Coaches Cole and Hayley, Alcohol Freedom Guides for The Path. Rosie is working to reframe her reactive responses to stress and anxiety, which she realizes are tied to a childhood feeling of being "shut down." Tamara uncovers her core belief that she isn't "good enough," a pattern reinforced by past relationships and growing up with a parent who struggled with alcohol use. These conversations show how identifying deeply rooted beliefs can be the first step in breaking the cycle of self-criticism and building a new way forward.

Meditation #2: Body Image Grounding Meditation (For Body Hate Days) When to use this: When you're having a hard body image day When "feeling fat" is overwhelming When critical thoughts about your body won't stop When you need to reconnect with gratitude for your body Important reminder: "Feeling fat" isn't actually a feeling - it's often your body's way of telling you something else is going on emotionally. What Lindsey guides you through: Comfortable position (seated or lying down) Noticing where your body contacts the ground (grounding) Body scan from feet to head with gentle awareness: Feet: Connecting to the ground, wiggling toes Legs: Getting stronger, supporting you Core/Stomach: Your true strength, your center (not to be micromanaged) Chest: Rising and falling with each breath Arms/Hands: Tools to express love, create amazing things Head: Houses thoughts AND dreams, desires, wishes Acknowledging judgmental thoughts without judgment Thanking your body for what it allows you to do Self-hug + gratitude: "Thank you for allowing me to walk, breathe, be grounded" Key practice: When critical thoughts arise, simply say "I notice I'm having a judgmental thought," then return to observing with curiosity. Duration: ~7 minutes Key truth: Your body is not your enemy. It's not up for negotiation. It's your HOME - where you live. Meditation #3: Self-Compassion Meditation (For Suffering + Hard Moments) When to use this: When you're feeling overwhelmed When you don't honor or love yourself When you don't know where to turn next When you need to be as kind to yourself as you'd be to a friend What Lindsey guides you through: Thinking of a recent challenge in recovery Noticing emotions and physical sensations Hand over heart, feeling steady heartbeat Affirmations: "This is a moment of suffering" "Suffering will pass - it's part of life and recovery" "I can be kind to myself in this process" Imagining a friend facing the same challenges Asking: "What would I say to them? How would I support them?" Offering yourself that same grace: "I'm doing the best I can" "Recovery takes time" "I'm worthy of patience and understanding" Key practice: You deserve the same kindness you'd offer your friend, mom, or sister. Duration: ~5 minutes Key truth: Your ED voice may be loud this season, but it doesn't have to control you or your actions. Key Reminders Throughout: Thoughts Are Like Clouds: They can come in (like your breath) and flow out (like your exhale) without you grabbing onto them. Your Truth: These thoughts can pass like clouds in the sky You are MORE than these thoughts This voice is NOT your truth You can choose recovery in this exact moment Your worth will NEVER be determined by food or weight You are SAFE here For Beginners: This isn't about doing it perfectly.

“Journaling is one of the quickest, most readily available tools to tap into your soul.” –Kim MarieToo much hustle and feel like there should be more in this season? December is a potent time to figure out what's next. I'm talking with Kim Marie, creator of the Sacred Nights of Winter journal, about the sacred pause of this season.Winter lends itself to slowing down and going inward, which makes it a powerful time for journaling. What should you write down? For the Sacred Nights: record your dreams, reflect on the year past, envision the year to come, spend time reviewing your day, and consider the cosmic virtues. Each day maps to part of the year.I've done this practice many times and love the insights I get when I revisit my journal throughout the year.We talk about: Committing to journaling for the Sacred Nights of Winter Revisiting the journal — the cards, the insights, the dreams — in the appropriate month Noticing your own seasonal rhythmsSetting intentions for the year instead of resolutions and aligning with the seasons and moonWhy you might want to dialogue journal and how to do itHow journaling gets us out of our heads and helps us act from our soulABOUT KIM MARIEKim Marie is a Holistic Women's Empowerment and Spiritual Coach supporting women in the second half of life to awaken their inner wisdom, heal their Soul-sickness, and live a Soul-fulfilled life.Through her powerful mentoring, publications, programs, courses, and retreats, as well as her group coaching program, Solace, Kim brings a unique, and magical, blend of ancient wisdom, archetypes, Soul-led leadership, and practical spirituality to support visionary women longing to step into the fullness of their authentic expression.Kim is the author of the Sacred Nights of Winter Journal, the Sacred Seasons Journals, and the Soul Planner.

KEY POINTS• Organizational vs. personal purpose — They don't have to be identical, but they should coexist well.• Purpose requires focus — You can't say yes to everything; not every opportunity is yours.• Boundaries shape clarity — Emotional, professional, and ethical lines protect your ability to serve.• Delegation is essential — Tasks don't define identity; leaders must let go to grow.• Purpose evolves — Organizations and individuals change; your purpose may shift with seasons.• Fun ≠ meaningful — Great opportunities still have to align with who you're becoming.• Gratitude clarifies calling — Noticing what you're grateful for can reveal purpose.• Quitting can be healthy — Letting go of roles, tasks, or beliefs creates space for what matters most.• Reflection is ongoing — Purpose isn't found once; it's revisited repeatedly.

Gratitude shifts when attention moves from missing things to present gifts from God. Kelly Balarie frames this reset through Psalm 87:7, highlighting a real-life moment of releasing comparison and anchoring joy in Christ. Strong search phrases like biblical gratitude, contentment over comparison, and Psalm 87 fountains help more hearts find the message quickly—because noticing God’s provision isn’t denial, it’s deliberate focus. Highlights Comparison is loud; gratitude is louder when practiced. Obedience often includes releasing what once mattered. Letting go creates capacity for deeper joy. Christ is the source, not the supplement. Serving others redirects the heart from scarcity to abundance. Worship begins at the fountain—God Himself. Thankfulness starts small, but builds momentum fast. Gift Inspiration: Crosswalk's Holiday Gift Guide Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate the season?

Full Transcript Below: Noticing What God has Given, Instead of What He Hasn’tBy Kelly Balarie Bible Reading:"As they make music they will sing, 'All my fountains are in you.'" – Psalm 87:7 NIV I didn't want to covet. Ick. I knew coveting was against both God's will and His Word. But, how do you stop feelings when they come like a tidal wave? How can one woman hold back a giant rush of emotions? In this case, I was packing up the back of a man's truck. I was packing his truck up with the exact sentimental sort of items I previously gave up. Because we had lived in so many places around the nation, I had to let go of holiday decorations over the years to make room for our moves. Yet now? I was helping a man load up a truck filled with the very things I had to let go of. I wanted to serve this man by helping him; however, I also had to fight the inclination to want what he had. I knew we obeyed God by moving so much. I knew we followed Him where He wanted us to go. Often, in obedience, there is sacrifice. Often, in moving with God, there is a laying down of goods or things we once thought we really needed. Have you ever experienced this? In my situation, I was happy to let go for the greater gain of following God. For instance, I knew that if Jesus came down from heaven and addressed me, saying, "Kelly, do you want holiday decorations or do you want to serve me?" I would undoubtedly say, "Jesus, I choose you." No item, no position, no money, no role, no appearance can match the precious calling of walking with God and living for Him. I knew this. I told God this. "Father?" I said. "I would give it all up again. Jesus is worthy. It is my joy to lay down things for the precious gain of serving you and your people." I realized God has given me far more than the world or its goods ever could. In this moment, I suddenly felt God's love and His closeness sweep over me. I think He was pleased. Jesus is worth it. His love is priceless. His eyes see all of it. I don't have to please myself with goods, because the greatest joy of my life is serving Him. I don't have to please man, because it is His delight I look for. I don't have to appear a certain way, because even with little, I have so much of Him. In Him are all my fountains. "As they make music they will sing, 'All my fountains are in you.'" (Ps. 87:7 NIV) Intersecting Faith & Life: Where are you looking at what you don’t have instead of all you have in Christ Jesus? How might God be calling you to adjust your vantage point? What do you have in Christ Jesus? How does this change things?

Dr. K talks about what it really means to “have no personality” and why so many people feel like NPCs in their own life. He explains that a lot of people who say this aren't clinically depressed or totally isolated, but feel like life is just a series of side quests with no main quest, no clear sense of who they are, and no strong preferences of their own. He breaks down three big patterns he sees in these people: living by “what's right” instead of what they actually want, being extremely risk averse, and constantly chasing identity through groups and labels. From goths to gamers to political identities, he shows how over-identifying with a group can become a mask that blocks you from discovering your real self. He also defines personality in a concrete way: how you interpret situations, how you feel inside, and how you behave in response. Using examples from his practice and his own life, Dr. K talks about cultural conditioning (especially in immigrant and Asian families), the pressure to maximize your advantages, and how suppressing desire leads to a flat, “empty” existence. He then lays out what actually helps: noticing how comfort, efficiency, and fear shape your choices, allowing yourself to do things that aren't perfectly “optimal,” taking meaningful risks, and stretching your capacities instead of always staying where you're safe and competent. Over time, those choices are how you actually build a personality. Topics include:Feeling like an NPC, side quests without a main questThe trap of always doing the “right” or efficient thingComfort and risk aversion as personality killersIdentity vs identification (goth, gamer, trad wife, politics, etc.)How family expectations and culture suppress desireWhat personality really is: perception, internal reaction, behaviorWhy you fantasize about disaster forcing you to “prove yourself”Noticing your mental rulebook and changing itStretching your competence instead of “smurfing” through life HG Coaching : https://bit.ly/46bIkdo Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health: https://bit.ly/44z3Szt HG Memberships : https://bit.ly/3TNoMVf Products & Services : https://bit.ly/44kz7x0 HealthyGamer.GG: https://bit.ly/3ZOopgQ Learn more about your ad choices.

Noticing when we tip from overwhelmed and overcoming to overwhelmed and under water - and declaring for ourselves- I no longer accept these conditions - watching what changes when we reclaim authority over our lives.

The Transformative Power of Gratitude: How Noticing the “Why” Deepens Connection In this Thanksgiving-week episode of the Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis explore the healing power of gratitude—both in everyday life and in relationships. What begins as a simple conversation about what they're grateful for quickly deepens into an exploration of why certain people, moments, and memories hold meaning. Drawing on the work of Dr. Martin Seligman, Dr. Skinner emphasizes that identifying the “why” behind our gratitude—not just naming the object of it—creates a more emotionally rich and neurologically uplifting experience. MaryAnn highlights the reality that family can be both a source of deep gratitude and profound pain. For those who lack supportive family relationships, they offer practical ways to find gratitude in mentors, ancestors, teachers, or meaningful communities—the “tribes” we discover along the way. Together, they reflect on how gratitude acts as a natural antidepressant, shifting our emotional state, reducing stress, increasing joy, and strengthening attachment bonds. Listeners are invited to slow down, reflect on the people who have shaped them, and express gratitude in intentional, meaningful ways—especially during the holiday season.

This week on the Squiggly Careers podcast, Helen and Sarah borrow brilliance from Dr. Zach Mercurio's book The Power of Mattering. They talk about how mattering goes beyond belonging, why it boosts motivation and wellbeing, and what happens when we feel invisible or replaceable at work. From personal reflections on high and low mattering moments to practical ways to help others feel noticed, affirmed, and needed, Helen and Sarah bring this idea to life with real-world examples. You'll learn how small actions — from giving meaningful feedback to showing appreciation — can make a big difference to how people feel, perform, and connect at work.Episode 514

Curiosity about who your earliest campaign leaders could be often sparks surprising discoveries and opens paths to support you may not have recognized.In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, hosts Amy Eisenstein and Andrea Kihlstedt explore how organizations can identify and engage the select group of donors who provide the earliest and most significant gifts in a campaign. Their conversation offers clear, practical guidance for anyone preparing to launch a major fundraising effort or reassessing their current prospect pool.Amy and Andrea begin by breaking down a truth that catches many organizations off guard: more than half of your campaign goal will come from twenty or fewer donors. They explain why this pattern is consistent across campaigns of all sizes and why even small or midsize organizations should expect the same dynamic. What often surprises leaders is realizing they may already know several people who could step into those roles once the right project is presented to them.From there, the discussion turns to understanding donor potential. Many donors give modest amounts simply because they've never been invited to support a bold vision. That makes your largest annual donors (whether they give $5,000, $10,000, or $25,000) the most likely candidates to consider a six- or seven-figure gift when a compelling campaign arises. Amy and Andrea outline how to recognize early signals of capacity by observing patterns in a donor's giving history across your organization and the wider community.The episode then walks through a practical approach to assembling a strong list of leadership-level prospects. This includes reviewing your current donor data, speaking with board members, and using wealth insights to form an initial group of ten or more people who could consider gifts of $1 million or higher. Amy and Andrea also emphasize the importance of looking beyond your files to the broader philanthropic landscape around you. In many communities, a small group of generous individuals consistently support major projects across several institutions. Seeing those patterns helps you understand who might step forward for your campaign.To support that effort, the hosts offer a simple field exercise: visit donor walls at nearby hospitals, theaters, libraries, and museums to observe which names appear repeatedly. Noticing these patterns sharpens your understanding of who cares deeply about your community and may be open to learning about your plans. The conversation also addresses the preparation needed before a feasibility study. Amy explains how assembling a list of twenty to forty individuals capable of contributing gifts of $100,000 or more strengthens the study and improves the accuracy of your early projections. She offers guidance on how long list-building can take and why these early steps are key to an effective quiet phase later on.A recurring theme throughout the episode is the value of curiosity. Andrea highlights the power of asking, “Who else should I be talking to?” This single question encourages donors, board members, and community leaders to open doors, make introductions, and broaden your audience. It also provides an easy way to circle back to earlier conversations and express genuine appreciation.The episode closes with a welcome reminder: campaign fundraising is energizing when it is rooted in mission and authentic relationships. Following curiosity, learning about people, and building meaningful connections brings a sense of purpose to the work. That spirit is what leads to transformational support and lasting community impact.To ensure your campaign ends in a celebration, download our free Capital Campaign Step-by-Step Guide & Checklist.

There's a point where control just stops working. Not because you failed, not because you're slipping, but because you've been managing everything outside of you for so long that you haven't stopped to check what's going on inside of you. That's when the day starts to feel “off.” Not dramatic. Not heavy. Just… off.  You're doing all the things you always do, but you don't feel connected to any of it. Something in you knows the rhythm is wrong, even if you can't quite put your finger on it.  In this episode of Unlearning Stress, I'm talking about what that really means. I'm walking you through why your control slips, what disconnection actually looks like in everyday life, and the real reason that persistent ache won't leave you alone. It's not stress. It's misalignment.  And then we go deeper.  We look at what alignment really is, not perfection, not forcing calm, not holding it all together. Alignment is that quiet moment when you hear yourself again, when your choices make sense again, when you feel yourself returning into your own life. I'm going to guide you through a simple, real-world alignment practice, something you can do today, right where you are, to help you listen to what's true instead of reacting from pressure. It's one honest choice, one grounded step, but it changes everything.  If you've been moving through your days feeling off, disconnected, or “not like yourself,” this conversation will help you understand why, and show you how to come back home to your own steadiness, one clear moment at a time

High performance without alignment leads to burnout and emotional exhaustion. This episode shows you how identity shifts happen in the body, not the mind — and how to live from truth instead of performance. A gentle, embodied recalibration.If you've ever wondered why you continue showing up as the strong one — even when you're tired, even when you know better, even when your spirit is asking for something gentler — this episode is for you.This week, we've been uncovering the identity story beneath high performance: the role you learned to play in order to be safe, chosen, or loved. Today, we move from awareness to embodiment.Because identity does not shift through insight alone. Insight is the invitation. Embodiment is the acceptance.Your nervous system has been loyal to the identity that once protected you. It isn't resisting growth — it's guarding belonging. This is why performance patterns feel so automatic, even when they no longer fit.In this episode, we explore:• Why your body keeps choosing the familiar (even when it's draining) • How safety — not self-discipline — is what allows identity to shift • The real marker of transformation: staying with yourself in the moment you would have abandoned yourself • How to live from your truest identity now, without collapsing your life or losing your excellenceThis is not mindset work or behavior management. This is Identity-Level Recalibration — the root-level shift that makes every other tool effective again.Today's Micro RecalibrationWhen you feel yourself slipping into performance mode, pause for one breath. Hand to ribs or abdomen. Ask gently: “Am I choosing from fear or from truth?” Don't fix. Don't correct. Just notice. Noticing is becoming.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

By noticing these moments, leaders can spark energy, connection, and joy across their teams, even during the busiest weeks.
