If you feel emotionally numb, overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or constantly "on," this practice is designed to help your nervous system step out of survival and into safety. Rather than forcing calm or positive thinking, this exercise focuses on breath, orientation, and gentle body awareness to help the nervous system recognize the present moment and begin restoring emotional access.

Zach Wahls for U.S. Senate It didn't take long after his historic 2011 appearance before the Iowa state legislature to testify about his two-mom family for 19-year-old Zach Wahls to take his place as a senator in that body. Now he's running to represent Iowa in the U.S. Senate (produced by Greg Gordon, archival interview by Steve Pride).

Hi fellow co-creators!  In this episode of Feminine Power Time, we pause together to set ourselves up for the cycle ahead — not just the linear calendar year, but the deeper transition we're moving through as we rise into the next seasonal and lunar turn. This is an orientation conversation. A grounding conversation. One meant to help us stay centered, calm, and clear as the pace of the world continues to speed up. Every year at the start of a new yearly cycle - I tune in for wisdom, insight and focus for the path ahead, and then I wait until the guidance is clear. it's never on Jan 1 (for obvious reasons) ... but it's always before the lunar new year, and is so much richer because I didn't rush to follow the timeline the mainstream matrix is on. That's how we roll when guided by grace and wisdom :)  As we explore what's ahead in this next cycle, I'll invite you to slow your system, tune your awareness, and work with a few practical (and powerful) ways to stay oriented — personally, relationally, and as conscious co-creators in the larger field. A few wisdom bites to listen for (and maybe write down) When the world speeds up, the wise ones slow down. Presence comes before productivity. Orientation is a practice — not a one-time insight. You don't need to do everything — you need to know your part. When you get "gooped," don't isolate — conversate. In this conversation, we explore Working with natural cycles (lunar + seasonal) to stabilize the nervous system this year  Staying oriented when things feel fast, intense, or overwhelming Doom scrolling vs sanity scanning The Triangle of Sacred Transformation: release the past, stabilize in the now, create the way for the new A simple practice to clarify what you need, desire, and require for the cycle ahead

In this episode of Make Your Message a Movement, Tiffany explores a common paradox: the more experienced, impactful, and "evolved" a leader becomes, the harder it often is for them to explain what they do. Tiffany explains that this struggle isn't a sign of confusion, but rather a byproduct of depth. When your work shifts from transactional to transformational, it becomes multidimensional and harder to fit into a single sentence. This episode is a call to action for true experts to stop hiding behind "it depends" and start organizing their brilliance so they can rise above the noise of "performative" marketers.Key Takeaways- The "Depth Without Distillation" Bottleneck: True thought leaders don't struggle because they lack insight; they struggle because they haven't distilled years of experience into a clear structure. Without this, brilliance can come across as vague or exhausting to understand.- Focus, Don't Flatten: You don't need to "simplify" your work by cutting out its heart. Real clarity doesn't remove depth—it organizes it.- The Shift from Explaining to Orienting: - Experts explain: "Let me tell you everything I do." - Guides orient: "Here is where you are, here is what is happening beneath the surface, and here is how we get to where you're headed." - Orientation builds trust faster than explanation ever could.- The "Label Inside the Bottle" Problem: You are often too close to your own genius to see it clearly. This is why extraordinary leaders need an outside perspective to identify their "golden thread" and translate their depth into language that lands.- Clarity as the Antidote to Shiny Object Syndrome: When your brand is coherent at its core, you stop chasing the next "magic" AI prompt, sales script, or LinkedIn masterclass. Clarity gives you the range to choose the strategies that actually fit you.- Authenticity in the Age of AI: In a world of AI-generated avatars and "perfect" edits, showing up as your unedited, authentic self is a competitive advantage that allows you to scale more sustainably.Reflection QuestionsTiffany encourages listeners to sit with these three questions as they move into 2026:1. Do people understand my work before I even explain it? (Is it clear on your website and socials?)2. Does my brand reflect the leader I am becoming, not just who I have been?3. Am I still chasing tactics, or am I ready for an unshakable foundation?Mentioned Resources- The Brand Clarity Workshop Series: A deep-dive workshop designed to help you distill your depth into a message that lands.

Sophie B. Hawkins performs “Not Beating Around the Bush” (recording of her original song made exclusively for “This Way Out”) and reads an excerpt from “Mrs. Dalloway” by Virginia Woolf. SOPHIE B. HAWKINS is a U.S.-born singer-songwriter whose commercial success has been matched by her passionate advocacy for animal rights, and the equality of women and the queer community. In 1925, VIRGINIA WOOLF introduced the world to “MRS. DALLOWAY”, a groundbreaking novel that explores a single day in the life of an upper-class woman in post-World War I England. With its innovative stream-of-consciousness narrative, “Mrs. Dalloway” remains a landmark in modernist literature. In “NewsWrap” 106 people are roughly arrested in a late December raid on a gay nightspot in Baku, the capital city of Azerbaijan; ten people in France are convicted of online bullying for “maliciously” claiming that First Lady Brigitte Macron is transgender; a U.S. federal judge rules that teachers or other school officials can out trans students to their parents without their consent; while a different federal judge decides that “devoutly Christian” parents can prevent their children from learning about the mere existence of LGBTQ people in school; under pressure from the Trump administration and a lawsuit filed by “devoutly Christian” foster parent applicants, Massachusetts replaces policies specifically requiring foster parents to support LGBTQ children in their care with the more innocuous “based on their individual identity and needs”; and her wife Becca remembers Renee Nicole Good (written this week by GREG GORDON, edited by TANYA KANE-PARRY, produced by BRIAN DeSHAZOR, and reported by RET and MARCOS NAJERA). (written this week by GREG GORDON and TANYA KANE-PARRY, reported by RET and MARCOS NAJERA, and produced by BRIAN DeSHAZOR).

In this episode of Built for the Edge, Kehla G names a quiet tension many entrepreneurs are feeling but struggling to articulate. They're visible. They have leads. They've built funnels, offers, systems, and pathways that look “right” on paper — yet conversion feels heavier than it should. Momentum stalls. Decisions slow. And passive strategies that once worked now require constant effort to sustain. Rather than diagnosing this as a messaging or positioning issue, Kehla points to something far less discussed: orientation. This episode explores what happens when businesses are built to move people toward outcomes without accounting for how people are actually arriving — emotionally, energetically, and neurologically. It challenges common assumptions about “meeting people where they're at,” questions the confusion between attention and readiness, and examines why pressure-based funnels no longer land in a more discerning market. Through a vivid highway-under-construction metaphor, Kehla invites listeners to consider how the quality of movement through their business — not just the destination — may be shaping client behavior, hesitation, and decision-making. This is not an episode about fixing funnels or optimizing copy. It's an invitation to notice what becomes visible when those explanations stop working. The conversation closes at the threshold, opening into a deeper inquiry around timing, inner authority, and what it takes to build a business that can actually hold the level of discernment present now.

Orientation du lit - vraie halakha ou simple coutume by Rav David Touitou

We continue our review of some of the news and feature stories on This Way Out during the past 12 months, including trans lawmakers defending drag and their own dignity, celebrating a venerated Aussie activist, challenging anti-queer laws in the Caribbean, marching for gender rights in the U.K., greeting a drag virtuoso violist, analyzing a major setback at the U.S. Supreme Court, and reviewing the upcoming season at what used to be the The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Those stories and more this week, when you discover “This Way Out.” [NOTE: “NewsWrap” and the “Rainbow Rewind” segments return on our week of 12 January 2026 Hosted this week by Brian DeShazor and produced by Lucia Chappelle and Greg Gordon.

What does it actually take to show up for 500 episodes — and what does consistency really look like behind the scenes? In this milestone episode, Kehla reflects on nearly seven years of podcasting and entrepreneurship, closing the loop on her 2025 words of the year — Impact, Responsibility, and Expansion — and the Gene Keys (52, 53, 54, 22 & 55) that shaped one of the most transformative seasons of her business. This conversation goes beyond motivation and discipline and into the truth of long-term growth: responsibility as the doorway to freedom, expansion as capacity (not hype), and why most entrepreneurs burn out trying to build momentum without orientation. Kehla also shares how her 2025 word Ascend revealed itself as subtraction rather than hierarchy, and introduces her 2026 word Precision, alongside the Gene Keys of Precision (62) and Orientation (2), exploring how feminine intelligence, structure, and systems restore clarity, sustainability, and trust in decision-making. You'll also be guided through a simple reflective process to choose your own word and Gene Key for the year ahead — not as a goal to chase, but as a mirror to deepen self-leadership. Finally, Kehla introduces the Gene Keys Calendar, a daily orientation tool designed to help entrepreneurs locate themselves inside collective and personal cycles — grounding insight, timing, and cleaner decisions throughout the year. If you're done chasing motivation and ready to build something that actually holds you, this episode is a powerful place to begin.

Episode Summary: In this insightful episode, Jean sits on the other side of the mic for a change, exploring what it truly means to feel lost, stuck, or pressured to "figure things out." Through a thoughtful interview, Jean explains the critical difference between acceptance and orientation, and why this distinction matters more than ever for those navigating change, confusion, or uncertainty. Key Topics Discussed: Misunderstanding "Lostness": Jean reframes feeling lost as a natural reorganization process rather than a personal failure, describing it as an "interruption, not a breakdown." The Difference Between Acceptance and Orientation: Acceptance is often psychological—resignation or lowered expectations—while orientation is about honestly locating yourself in the present, enabling real movement and change. Orientation Isn't Stopping: Orientation restores capacity and balance. What may look passive from the outside is actually your nervous system finally catching up with reality, ending forced or pressured movements. The Dance Analogy: Drawing on movement and dance, Jean explains why completing your current "step" is necessary before a new direction can be found—otherwise, you lose balance and clarity. Microcoherence in Practice: Instead of demanding grand clarity or a five-year plan, microcoherence asks, "What feels slightly more supportive right now?" Small, honest preferences create a pattern—that's your new direction. Why Forcing a Long-Term Plan Backfires: Pushing for clarity during times of disorientation just creates more pressure and instability. Orientation happens in "completion time"—the internal process can't be rushed. When Direction Returns: Real direction doesn't hit like lightning. It feels like relief, a gentle gravity as certain paths quietly fall away. You won't need to justify it—it's self-contained. The Map Appears Under Your Feet: Direction doesn't live in the future. Orientation invites you to fully arrive where you are, revealing new paths naturally. Practical Advice for Listeners: If you feel lost, stop forcing clarity. Instead, notice what you can no longer pretend about, let the current step finish, and trust that this gentle process is your integrity returning—not regression. Resource Mentioned: Story Signal (Free App): Jean introduces Story Signal, an app designed to help users recognize their current state and facilitate authentic orientation, without the pressure to force movement. https://storysignal.app Takeaways: Being lost isn't a personal crisis—it's your system seeking realignment. Orientation is honest self-location, not resignation or passivity. True direction emerges naturally, one small step at a time, when you honor the completion of each moment.

You've made the hire and the contract is signed. Yay. Now we can begin the real work. In this final installment of our mini-series on hiring your first assistant, I'm pulling back the curtain on the first crucial 90 days and the art of proper onboarding. I'll be sharing the systems and intentional frameworks, honed from years of building teams in my photography business and overseeing a 120-person team in a co-owned company, that help a new hire fully absorb your vision, not just your tasks. I'll walk you through the 30-60-90 framework for ensuring your new team member is set up for success. Learn why the first 30 days are purely for learning, when to flip the script on task ownership, and what to watch for by day 60 to prevent costly misalignments. This episode will provide you with the blueprint for creating an operating document, using tools for clear process transfer, and course-correcting early to ensure your future self (and your entire creative business) is amplified, not diluted.

This week, I sat down with Dan Barnes, Managing Director of Flourish Hospitality, a learning and development consultancy built on one simple idea: that every moment in hospitality is a chance to help someone grow.Dan's story is one of those brilliant hospitality journeys that started with polishing cutlery and pretending to be a grown-up in a suit and somehow led to building learning cultures across hotels, restaurants and private members' clubs.From Marriott to Edwardian Hotels, Caprice Holdings and now Flourish, Dan's career has been a masterclass in curiosity, creativity, and learning the hard (but hilarious) way.In this episode, Dan and I dive into…How he went from dreaming of being a history teacher to becoming hospitality's go-to L&D guruThe lessons learned from Marriott's graduate scheme (and a haggis-related feedback story you won't forget)His time at Edwardian Hotels, where he built a Food & Beverage Academy and developed “The Service World to Stage” programWhy L&D in hospitality is the only truly positive role in HRThe realities of pre-opening a major hotel and the mantra that kept him saneThe joy (and chaos) of opening Annabel's and running training for 1,500 people at Caprice HoldingsWhy feedback hurts, but silence in a training room hurts moreAnd the beautiful truth that great hospitality isn't an act, it's genuine human connectionDan Barnes Quotes“Learning and development is the one truly positive role where every interaction is positive.”“It doesn't have to be perfect for it to be wonderful.”“If you're good at L&D, you build rapport — which is essentially hospitality skills.”“You can't inspire people on day one with food safety. Orientation should be about joining the journey.”“As long as you're passionate about hospitality, you can find a career anywhere.”Why this episode is worth your timeDan embodies everything great about hospitality learning, heart, humour, and humility.This episode is packed with wisdom for anyone who's ever tried to train, lead, or inspire a team while the fire alarm's going off.It's honest, it's funny, and it's full of lessons about resilience, storytelling, and why you should always leave space for people to find their own answers.Show PartnersA big shout out to Today's show partner, RotaCloud, the people management platform for shift-based teams.RotaCloud lets managers create and share rotas, record attendance, and manage annual leave in minutes — all from a single, web-based app.It makes work simple for your team, too, allowing them to check their rotas, request holiday, and even pick up extra shifts straight from their phones.Try RotaCloud's time-saving tools today by heading to https://rotacloud.com/philThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

Evan Barnett is the President of Pyek Group. Starting in the industry at 16 cleaning restrooms at Water World USA, he was quickly thrust into leadership, moved from park services to water safety, and grew under strong mentors who sharpened his view of people-first operations. Today, Evan leads Pyek Group across four parks in three markets under two brands, focusing on culture, clarity of mission, and what he calls the “un-water park” mindset: hyper-clean facilities, great food, and genuine hospitality. In this interview, Evan talks about cold, hard leadership, being unoffendable, and doing the basics really well. Cold, hard leadership “It's tough. It's cold, hard leadership is really what it is. And it's listening and understanding and just realizing, hey, give the other guy the benefit of the doubt.” Evan frames leadership as equal parts standards and empathy. Early in his career, he learned that perception is reality: a supervisor saw “slowness” while Evan was meticulously scrubbing grout with a toothbrush. That moment shaped how he equips teams by giving clear direction, the right tools, and assuming positive intent before judging outcomes. At Pyek Group, he translates this into over-communicating vision across varied brands and communities, aligning departments around a single mission so daily frictions become sparks that sharpen rather than burn. He also guards leaders' attention from getting hijacked by edge cases. Rather than orbit the “loud 20%,” he pours recognition and coaching into the 80% who show up wanting to do great work, using high-fives, momentum building, and consistent standards. For Evan, culture is “caught, not taught,” spread through a thousand conversations and modeled behavior that make accountability feel fair and human. Being unoffendable “The one core value I really want to hone in on that we have is called unoffendable… be unoffendable, man.” Unoffendable is a Pyek Group core value, not an aspiration. Evan wants feedback to flow fast and candidly without venom and without weaponizing “brutal honesty.” In practice, that means seeking to understand before being understood, extending grace because everyone, including leaders, will need it back tomorrow. He links unoffendable behavior to hospitality itself: when a guest complains about cold food or long lines, defensive walls only distract from fixing the day. Empathy and grace let teams remediate quickly and leave people feeling cared for. Internally, the same posture fuels agility. Teams “fire themselves” metaphorically, stepping out to reset their mindset and reenter discussions ready to solve problems together. Evan emphasizes that core values must be binary and lived. You are kind, or you are not. You are unoffendable, or you are not. Keeping feedback direct but non-weaponized preserves trust, speeds pivots, and keeps focus on the guest experience over ego. Doing the basics really well “Just do the basics really well.” Borrowing a line he admires from Troy Aikman, Evan centers Pyek Group on mastery of fundamentals: smiling welcomes, clean spaces, good food, frictionless transactions, and consistent delivery day after day. He calls it “power in the mundane,” resetting every morning so the thousandth “Where are the lockers?” gets the same warm response as the first. That dependable baseline becomes a brand personality guests can feel, and it cannot be copied by simply duplicating slides or lazy rivers. Basics evolve, though. Orientation remains essential, but how teams learn must fit how they consume information today, using short, bite-sized training and tools they can use immediately on Day One. Evan is unafraid to reverse course when basics are misread. The lesson, letting fans tell you what matters and then amplifying it, keeps “basic” tightly aligned with real expectations.

What if your holiday stress wasn't about what's happening now—but about what your nervous system remembers? In this episode, co-hosts Elisabeth Kristof and Jennifer Wallace unpack the neuroscience of the holidays, exploring how sensory cues like songs, smells, or family dynamics can reactivate old emotional patterns stored in the body. Together, they explain how neurotags—the networks of neurons linking memory, emotion, and physical response—shape our experience of the season and why this time of year can trigger emotional flashbacks or overwhelm. You'll learn how to recognize when the past is replaying through your nervous system, how cycles like circadian and seasonal rhythms affect capacity, and why rest is a biological need—not a luxury. The conversation moves from emotional regulation and boundaries to post-traumatic growth, exploring how slowing down and honoring natural rhythms can transform holiday survival into healing and integration. This episode offers neuroscience-backed practices to help you reclaim presence, build new associations with safety, and rewrite your nervous system's holiday story. Timestamps: 0:00 – Seasonal mismatch & why holidays strain the nervous system 2:43 – What are neurotags and how they shape holiday reactions 6:39 – Emotional flashbacks: the body's real-time state shifts 10:20 – Orientation and regulation tools for holiday triggers 12:26 – Boundaries as nervous system protection 18:19 – Honoring natural cycles: seasonal, menstrual, and circadian rhythms 27:30 – Post-traumatic growth through rest, reflection, and integration Key Takeaways: Neurotags explain why certain holiday cues can trigger powerful emotional and physical responses. Emotional flashbacks are not regressions—they're real-time nervous system shifts that can be regulated through awareness and sensory grounding. Setting boundaries is a form of nervous system protection, not disconnection. Seasonal, menstrual, and circadian rhythms all affect capacity—rest is a biological requirement for resilience. Post-traumatic growth happens in the pauses—through rest, orientation, and compassionate self-boundaries.

Orientation and mobility (O&M) gives blind and low vision students the skills to travel safely, confidently, and independently—at home, at school, and beyond graduation. In this conversation hosted by State Services for the Blind (SSB), O&M specialists Jennifer Pelletier and Abdi Mumin, along with Transition Coordinator Shane DeSantis, talk with parents, teachers, and students about what O&M really is: not just cane skills, but problem solving, confidence, and building a mental map of the world. They stress that independence is personal, but expectations should stay high—students can do more than many people assume when given chances to practice. Parents learn practical ways to support independence at home, from chores and finding dropped objects to letting kids lead routes on errands. The episode also highlights tools like tactile maps, campus visits, and Cane Quest, and explains how school-based O&M and SSB can work together to prepare students for college, work, and adult life. To find out more about the services provided at State Services for the Blind, and what they can do for you, contact Shane DeSantis at shane.desantis@state.mn.us or call Shane at 651-385-5205.

Starting a new job should feel energizing, not overwhelming. Yet research shows that nearly 30% of new hires leave within their first 90 days, a costly miss that often traces back to ineffective onboarding and orientation. Even more telling, only 12% of employees believe their company provides a great onboarding experience, which means most people feel the system fails them at exactly the moment they need it most. And considering that organizations with a strong onboarding process improve new hire retention by 82% and productivity by over 70%, the stakes for getting it right are high. In this episode of Bring Out the Talent, we're joined by Dr. Mechelle Roberthon, a nationally recognized HR and organizational development leader, keynote speaker, and consultant. With over 15 years of experience helping organizations strengthen culture and elevate employee experience, Dr. Rob is known for her practical, people-first approach that turns talent strategies into measurable business impact. This conversation is about shifting onboarding and orientation from administrative necessity into strategic advantage. From blending compliance with culture to designing orientation that truly resonates, Dr. Rob shares strategies leaders can use to set employees up for long-term success. Get ready for a future-focused discussion that will reshape how you think about onboarding, orientation, and those critical first chapters of the employee journey.

 Many people focus on the problem in front of them instead of the solution available to them. (Every problem carries with it a solution, even if you can't see it right away.) This trait is due to the negativity bias of the human brain, a trait that served us well tens of thousands of years ago when each day provided deadly threats of starvation, or attack by animals or warring tribes. Great leaders have patiently programmed themselves, through consistent daily practice, to constantly look for the opportunity within each difficulty and the solution inside every challenge. Please remember that a problem only becomes a problem when viewed as a problem.My latest book “The Wealth Money Can't Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I'm absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your positivity, productivity, wellness, and happiness.

The spiritual journey is not about chasing external goals but about realizing that these pursuits only mask a deeper truth—we are not okay inside and driven by deep-seated fears and needs. Spirituality begins when we recognize that this comes from storing unresolved experiences inside that block our natural energy flow. Liberation is not about controlling life to achieve more but about learning to let go of these blockages during everyday life. Over time, this leads to a state of unconditional well-being culminating in unity with divine consciousness. © Sounds True Inc. Episodes: © 2025 Michael A. Singer. All Rights Reserved.
