Podcasts about pausing

3 big ideas discussed in this episode: BIG IDEA #1: You don't need a passport to pause: You don't have to travel the world to reclaim your breath and sometimes the most powerful pauses happen right where you are. BIG IDEA #2: You don't need permission to pause: In a world that rewards hustle, it's easy to feel like rest has to be earned. But the truth is, you don't need anyone's approval to step back and reset your well-being is reason enough. BIG IDEA #3: You don't need to be productive to pause: Pausing isn't a strategy to get more done, it's a reminder that your worth isn't measured by your output. Rest for the sake of rest is not only valid, it's vital. Get the show notes for this episode here: https://AskJeremyJones.com/podcast

Send us a textIn this conversation, Kaitlyn shares her experiences from a family road trip, emphasizing the importance of being intentional with time and enjoying life rather than just working through it. She discusses the challenges of unplugging from work and the hustle mindset that often leads to burnout.

In today's episode, we're exploring something that's often overlooked in the world of manifestation, goal-setting, and soul growth — the pause. If you've been focused on your dreams, doing the work, expanding your self-awareness, and still feeling like something's calling you to slow down… this message is for you. Pausing isn't weakness — it's wisdom. It's not a break from your growth — it is the growth. In this conversation, I'm sharing a spiritual and practical perspective on why intentional rest and recalibration are vital parts of your success path. And how to build that pause right into your plan — so your manifestation process becomes more grounded, present, and powerful. This isn't about burnout. It's about balance. It's about honouring your body, your energy, and your soul's pace. Inside this episode: Why even aligned, inspired goals can still lead to fatigue if we don't pause How to build rest, ease, and flow into your manifestation and business plan The spiritual role of the pause in intuitive alignment Journal prompts to reflect and integrate your next level with more grace Prompts: Where in my life or business could a sacred pause create more space for clarity, ease, and joy? How can I honour both the desire to grow and the need to be present with what already is?  

1. Cancellation of Moderna's Bird Flu Vaccine Contract The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., canceled a $766 million contract with Moderna. The contract was intended to fund the development of an mRNA-based vaccine for pandemic influenza, including H5N1 (bird flu). Despite positive early trial results from Moderna, the administration cited scientific, ethical, and safety concerns as reasons for the cancellation. The move reflects RFK Jr.'s skepticism toward mRNA vaccines and aligns with his broader rollback of COVID-19 vaccine recommendations. 2. FBI Reopening High-Profile Investigations FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced the reopening or renewed focus on several public corruption cases, including: The January 6 pipe bomb incident. The White House cocaine discovery (July 2023). The leak of the 2022 Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade. Bongino emphasized a push for transparency and public engagement, encouraging tips from the public. 3. Federal Crackdown on Harvard University The Trump administration is canceling or redirecting $100 million in federal contracts with Harvard, following a freeze of $2.6 billion in research grants. The administration cites concerns over campus climate, anti-American sentiment, and violence against Jewish and American students. Additional measures include: Pausing student visa interviews. Implementing new social media screening for foreign students. The administration frames this as a move to redirect funds to trade schools, promote accountability, and encourage institutional self-reliance. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

In this comprehensive deep dive, Dr. Tony Ebel explores PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections) and PANS from a neurologically-focused perspective. Drawing from his extensive clinical experience treating hundreds of PANDAS cases, Dr. Ebel reveals why traditional biomedical and functional medicine approaches, while important, often fall short when not properly sequenced with nervous system care.This episode challenges the conventional understanding that PANDAS begins in the gut, instead presenting compelling evidence that nervous system dysfunction is the root cause that then triggers the cascade of gut dysbiosis, immune dysfunction, and neuroinflammation. Dr. Ebel provides a detailed clinical protocol for healing, emphasizing the critical importance of addressing nervous system regulation first before implementing intensive biomedical interventions.Key Topics & TimestampsIntroduction & PANDAS Overview [00:00:00 - 00:06:00]Definition and why PANDAS cases spike during seasonal transitionsThe "perfect storm" nature of PANDAS requiring deep understandingDr. Ebel's Background & The PANDAS Rollercoaster [00:06:00 - 00:16:00]Clinical experience with hundreds of PANDAS casesPersonal story with his daughter's toxic exposureSetting realistic expectations: peaks, valleys, and signs of true healingWhy Current Approaches Fall Short [00:16:00 - 00:25:00]Traditional medicine limitationsFunctional medicine gets "one or two layers deep" but misses root causeWhy families feel stuck despite "doing everything right"The Root Cause: Nervous System First [00:25:00 - 00:36:00]Why gut-focused approaches miss the deeper issueNervous system → gut → immune → inflammation cycleThe reality of supplement overload and extreme restrictionsFinding the Right Practitioners & Protocol [00:36:00 - 00:50:00]Importance of expert-level care from neurologically-focused providersWhy "full send" biomedical approaches too early make kids worseThe 90-180 day nervous system stabilization periodClinical Implementation: The Reset Approach [00:50:00 - 01:01:00]Pausing 80% of supplements while keeping basicsUsing INSiGHT scans to achieve neurological stabilityRealistic timeline: 1-3 year healing journey with proper sequencing-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort;" 2 Corinthians 1:3This is a special passage for me because on a day early in my walk with the Lord, I needed comfort, and this verse was in my scheduled reading. Today's episode has taken a turn. As I prayed this morning, I prayed, "The LORD your God is in your midst, a victorious warrior. He will exult over you with joy, He will be quiet in His love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy." Zephaniah 3:17 for all of you. Pausing momentarily, I said, No, not you, Fred. He is not shouting over you with shouts of joy. Repentance came immediately; what I said was not of faith.What I had planned for this episode, I changed. The following thoughts I meditated on. Theologically:I remembered the people Jesus sought out to be in His kingdom. When God said, I am choosing a man after my own heart, He chose David, even knowing his sin with Bathsheba was coming. God is in charge of our sanctification. I don't know why He acts so differently in us, but the Bible is clear. He is the God who Sanctifies; Exodus 31:13Who did Jesus seek for His Kingdom?A wanton and despised woman by a well, John 4. A crippled man by the wayside, John 5. An adulterous woman in John 8, a blind, useless man in John 9, and the failure of Peter, John 21. Finally, a man on a cross who knew He was a sinner is today in paradise with the Savior he called out to. Luke 23:43"How Does Jesus think of Us?" Now, a sermon by Sinclair Ferguson (listen to it, please)"Father, I desire that they also, whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am, in order that they may behold My glory, which Thou hast given Me; for Thou didst love Me before the foundation of the world." John 17:24These are you and I, beloved of God; we have believed because of the word written by the Apostles. - Gifts from the Father to the Son. Our value is not intrinsic to our virtue, but because we are gifts from the Father to the Son. Our So What? Every time you are tempted to say to yourself, "no, not for you" (your name here), concerning the promises of God, remember Jesus thinks of you right now as a precious gift from the Father, and perish the thought "no. not for me."Brethren, let's pray for one another. "What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

Riding upright when super hot might overall be faster than low and aero due to the cooling. Rock Bros arm coolers are interesting - solid on one side and mesh on the other. For sun block / cooling. Fueling trick - clear bottles so you can see how much you've used to help stay on track. Meshy stuff WAY better in hot conditions. Dramatic cooling effect compared to classic cycling kit. Garmin 970 added rucking, sapphire glass, flashlight, speaker and microphone, but no voice notes... Fenix is overkill for most people, and that adds weight and makes it a poor running watch. Front-facing collision warning radar would be cool device since you can hit a car with your head down. Story how I was friends with the inventor of Morf-tech bars and he died from a crash like that. Interesting nuance of singlespeeding - sometimes faster on long rides by capping effort on flats and downhills? "Unhurried" vs. "Slow Living". Difference is intention and middle pathing. Getting water from country gas station. Cool soundscape. Surrounded by Roadies. Drifting in gravel turns is FUN. Uhurried more like Taoism "Flow" than Slow Living is.

The ACC Minister denies his comments last week played into the agency now pausing its sexual violence prevention programme. Scott Simpson suggested he was looking at narrowing the scope of ACC responsibilities to sexual abuse victims. ACC has confirmed it's paused the nationwide rollout of Hikitia - as it aligns itself with Government plans. Simpson now says there's no connection, and he has no intention to shed ACC's responsibilities. "All they've done is just pause this programme while they have a look at it, evaluate it and make sure that they're getting the best results for the victims of sexual violence."

How can older adults reclaim movement as a joyful, empowering part of life despite pervasive cultural narratives about aging? Letting go of perfectionism opens the door to playfulness and self-compassion. "If I can be more compassionate toward myself, I can let go of this addiction to competence and just let myself try, and suck. So yeah, I have come to embrace the idea that if a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly and playfully." ~ David Wilson (48:45) This conversation with David Wilson explores how movement intersects with aging, self-perception, and cultural narratives. David begins by addressing how deeply internalized ageist beliefs affect people's willingness to move, take up space, and try new things. The discussion challenges the idea that aging necessitates physical decline, emphasizing instead that variety in movement and awareness of personal stories can lead to growth and transformation at any age. David also critiques societal pressures that promote fear-based motivation, and he encourages a shift toward framing movement as a present-moment gift. The conversation moves through practical barriers and misconceptions that keep people inactive, such as rigid goals, perfectionism, and the belief that certain types of exercise are required. It emphasizes meeting oneself where one is, using personal values rather than fixed goals as guides. The importance of self-compassion, playfulness, and the willingness to "do things badly" is highlighted as a more sustainable path toward movement. There's also a critique of mainstream fitness messaging, which often excludes older populations by failing to address their actual lived experiences. Takeaways Internalized ageism — Movement hesitancy is often rooted in lifelong exposure to ageist narratives absorbed from a very young age. Misconceptions about aging — Many decline-related assumptions are not due to age itself but to reduced movement and lifestyle limitations. Curiosity over goals — Letting go of rigid, timeline-based goals makes space for exploration and deeper engagement with movement. Compassionate self-awareness — Bringing compassion into one's personal practice enables growth without harsh self-judgment. Playfulness as practice — Play offers a route to joy and learning, especially valuable when countering addiction to competence. Movement generalism — A broad, varied movement practice supports better adaptability and long-term capability. Fear-based fitness culture — Much mainstream messaging about aging and exercise motivates through fear instead of empowerment. Efficiency of the body — The body conserves resources by shedding unused capabilities, so maintaining movement variety is crucial. Accessible movement — Movement does not require equipment, special clothing, or gym memberships—it can be integrated into daily life. Time as a barrier — A perceived lack of time is the most common excuse for not moving, yet even minutes of activity show measurable benefits. Specificity of training — Effective physical preparation must match the demands of real environments rather than generic or repetitive exercise. Gratitude for the body — Pausing to appreciate the body's enduring support helps reframe limitations and fosters a more engaged relationship with movement. Imagination of aging — How one envisions growing older strongly influences present decisions about health and movement. Practice as identity — How we treat ourselves in movement mirrors how we show up in the world and in relationships. Resources OldsCoolMoves on Instagram OldsCoolMoves website — David Wilson's web site offering online courses and information. Five Minute Movement — A series of short guided sequences emphasizing movement variety. Ageism Unmasked — Tracy Gendron's book exploring the deep roots and effects of ageism.

Send us a textQuitting silences the dream. Pausing and pivoting refine it. In this raw and powerful conversation, clarity coach and entrepreneur Dominiece Clifton joins NatNat on the Lift OneSelf Podcast to unpack the emotional toll of burnout, the courage to pause without guilt, and the sacred difference between avoidance and true rest.After three successful years of podcasting, Dominiece made the bold decision to pause her show—not out of failure, but to honor her nervous system, her role as a single mother, and her deeper alignment.

In this episode of the 10Adventures Podcast, we sit down with Charles Achampong, speaker, author, and father, who made the life-changing decision to step away from a high-powered career to travel the world with his wife and two daughters. Over the course of a year, Charles and his family visited eight countries across four continents, carrying only backpacks and a commitment to reconnect with each other and the world. Their sabbatical wasn't an escape — it was a deeply intentional pause designed to build memories, spark curiosity, and slow down in a fast-paced life. Charles shares what it was like to say goodbye to stability, how they traveled on a budget, and how worldschooling transformed his kids' education.

How many times do you hit a wall before you ask for help? While this can be a strength, there are a few universal situations where the downside of not asking for help has a big impact.    While generally a strength, there are situations where not asking for help can have significant negative effects.   Knowing how you have designed your business directly impacts why and how you may exit. Understanding what has been built is necessary to understand the reality of selling and what preparation may help find a buyer for your legacy. Business ownership is fraught with challenges and surprises; none of your experiences have to be regrets.   In this program, you will hear how experience is found in all luck that comes your way, how knowing yourself makes spotting when you are comparing yourself and your business to others easier, and a strategy for staying focused by saying “no” more.    Jess Dewell talks with Saul Cohen, Accountant & Acquisitions Advisor at The Expert Eye, about the difference between scaling and stalling business growth and why it is BOLD to accept and embrace the company you built and look at it through a lens of abundance.   --------------------   If you want to identify business bottlenecks, the necessary skills, the initial actions to take, the expected milestones, and the priorities for achieving growth, try the "Growth Framework Reset" approach. This will help you to keep learning and growing while working strategically on your business. --------------------   You can get in touch with Jess Dewell on Twitter,  LinkedIn or Red Direction website.

When you stop and start over and over again, it's not just your progress that takes a hit. Your mindset does too. You begin to doubt yourself more. You forget what used to feel natural. You second-guess every move. And over time, even getting started starts to feel heavy.

If you're powering through your day like a caffeine-fueled robot with no off switch—stop. Your brain and body are not machines. We are more like rechargeable batteries, but we need to recharge.  On this episode of Crina and Kirsten Get to Work, our hosts discuss giving IT (all of IT) a rest.   SHOW NOTES A break is not a luxury—it's a necessity. A German study found that we respond to physical overload with back, neck and shoulder pain.  Our bodies are talking to us, but are we listening?  And our brains do something similar - short-circuiting into anger, passivity, or full shutdown mode (hi, doom scrolling in the bathroom).  Breaks help avoid those responses - and in fact are alarms from our bodies, brains and souls that we need to give it a minute (and maybe lots more)  While there is nothing wrong with guilty social media scrolls or fake “I'm just checking email” moments, we need actual pauses—time for your body and mind to reset. We may think that breaks are the enemy of productivity—but research says breaks are golden ticket to performance and productivity. Breaks replenish glucose, reduce stress hormones, and activate the brain's “default mode network,” a magical zone responsible for creativity, introspection, and those “aha” moments (yes, even Pixar movies have emerged from a well-timed lunch break). And it's not just your brain that benefits. Animal shelter workers who took breaks lasted longer in their careers, and team breaks build trust and improve collaboration. Even short “microbreaks” matter—especially when they come after tough meetings or demanding tasks. The barriers? Hustle culture, guilt, tech, and the glorification of burnout. But changing the narrative around unproductive time is crucial. Walk.  Get out in nature - heck, check out those orca videos.  Stretch. Nap. Stare at trees. Laugh at a meme. Walk your dog. Daydream. Call your mom. Whatever recharges you. Because the ultimate flex isn't grinding 24/7—it's knowing when to step away.  Good Reads: A Guide to Taking Better Breaks at Work – Harvard Business Review, Feb 2025 How to Take Better Breaks at Work, According to Research – Harvard Business Review, May 2023 Impact of Recovery Breaks on Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders – Applied Ergonomics, 2023 The Distracted Mind: Ancient Brains in a High-Tech World, Rosen & Gazzaley

The Smartest Entrepreneurs Know When to Pivot—Here's How to Spot and Fix a Strategy That's Holding You Back What if the reason your business growth has stalled isn't due to a lack of strategy—but rather the wrong strategy? You might be unknowingly following an anti-strategy, a sneaky business misalignment that costs time, money, and momentum. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my own anti-strategies—the costly decisions I thought were game-changers but turned out to be massive missteps. From a coaching program that almost derailed my core business to a CRM migration nightmare that drained time and resources, I'm sharing the hard-earned lessons that will help you avoid making the same mistakes. If you've ever felt stuck despite implementing all the "right" strategies, this episode is for you. I'll walk you through exactly how to identify and course-correct an anti-strategy before it costs you big time. HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ An Anti-Strategy Is a Strategy That Works Against You – Sometimes, a plan seems smart on paper but lacks alignment with your core business goals. If a new project pulls you away from your primary revenue drivers, it could be an anti-strategy in disguise. 2️⃣ Misalignment Costs More Than You Think – Whether it's wasted time, lost revenue, or team frustration, making decisions in a silo (without the right input) leads to costly detours. The key is bringing the right people into the conversation early. 3️⃣ The Fix? Strategic Check-Ins & Gut Instincts – Regularly review your business goals and ask, “Is this truly moving us forward?” If your gut tells you something is off, trust it. Pausing and pivoting sooner rather than later can save you from a painful misstep.
