The SEG & AAPG Women's Network brought together six leaders for a conversation on technical leadership and decision-making in complex energy environments. The panel focused on what happens as technical experts take on greater responsibility, where decisions cannot wait for perfect information and leadership increasingly depends on understanding people as well as the work. A few ideas that stood out from the panel: * Patricia de Lugão: Good managers are people who know the subject. * Rachael Moreland: Even a degree in neuroscience has helped shape her path in geoscience. * Lorena Moscardelli: Procrastinate. Sometimes what first looks like noise becomes signal. * Marianne Rauch: You cannot get to 100 percent certainty. At some point, you have to say, “Enough.” * Allison Kennedy Thurmond: Be intentional. Be ready with Plan B and Plan C. * Tai Prince: Not everyone thinks like you. Remember that when dealing with a difficult challenge or colleague. After the panel, I continued the conversation with Patricia de Lugão and Allison Kennedy Thurmond. This is a true Inside IMAGE episode, as Patricia, Allison, and I built on what was shared on the panel in real time. Even with that impromptu feel, there are meaningful tips and well-earned wisdom throughout.

 Join host Myrna Young and guest Jhiree Davis-Jones, a licensed professional counselor and founder of Cherry Blossom Healing, as they explore the concept of trauma and resilience and its significance in overcoming life's challenges. Coping skills from trauma increase resilience because they help people learn how to properly handle uncomfortable emotions and reactions that result from trauma. Jhiree shares personal insights from her own journey, including honoring her grandmother's legacy and overcoming childhood trauma. They discuss cultural perceptions of therapy, especially within the Black community, and the importance of a therapeutic process beyond mere talk therapy. Gain valuable perspectives on planning, resilience, and personal growth from this insightful conversation. They delve into the importance of building resilience in the face of life's inevitable challenges, offering practical advice to listeners on managing stress and supporting children emotionally. Jhiree shares insights from her counseling practice, Cherry Blossom Healing, and talks about the legacy of her grandmother influencing her journey in mental health.Throughout the conversation, Jhiree emphasizes the importance of having a plan (or, as she calls it, a "Plan C for a Plan C") to navigate life's uncertainties. She explains how this mindset can help people be prepared for unexpected challenges. The dialogue also tackles the continuing stigma surrounding therapy, especially in the Black community, and Jhiree highlights the need for cultural competence in mental health services. Additionally, the episode explores how resilience can coexist with unresolved trauma, offering hope and strategies for those who wish to thrive despite past adversities.Key Takeaways:Emotional resilience involves the ability to remain buoyant in the face of adversity and continue viewing life's glass as half-full.The stigma surrounding therapy, especially in the Black community, is slowly being dismantled with increased awareness and cultural competence in mental health services.Trauma need not dictate your future; understanding and processing past trauma can lead to personal growth and purpose.Jhiree's notion of having a "Plan C for a Plan C" encourages preparedness and resilience, emphasizing that adaptability is key to dealing with life's uncertainties.Therapy is a collaborative effort requiring both patience and participation from the client to foster true healing.Resources:Cherry Blossom Healing: Visit Cherry Blossom Healing to learn more about their services and connect with Jhiree Davis Jones.Social Media Handles: Follow Cherry Blossom Healing on Instagram and Facebook: @CherryBlossomHealing.Book: "My Current Past: From Pain to Purpose" by Jhiree Davis Jones, available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.Link to Transcript https://www.buzzsprout.com/1761155/19633540-trauma-and-resilience-how-to-thrive-amidst-adversity/transcriptSponsor of this podcast QuinceQuince is not just apparel.

In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring podcast, I discuss what to do in a  time when more graduate programs are pausing or cancelling admissions and why having a Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C matters more than ever. If you're applying to graduate school, especially master's or PhD programs, this episode will help you navigate an increasingly unpredictable admissions landscape with greater awareness. Drawing from my work supporting applicants for sixteen years, I explain why admissions outcomes are being shaped by broader institutional and funding challenges, not just your individual qualifications. I unpack the systemic factors contributing to paused admissions, including budget constraints and funding disruptions, and share practical strategies for adapting your application plans. You'll learn how to approach this admissions cycle strategically, how to strengthen your options if your original plans change, and how to make decisions that align with your long-term goals rather than reacting from fear or uncertainty. My hope is that you'll walk away with a stronger sense of agency and a reminder that you always have options, even when higher education feels unpredictable. In this episode, you will learn: Why some graduate programs are pausing or canceling admissions and what those changes mean for applicants. How to develop a strategic Plan A for applying during a competitive admissions cycle. How to use a gap year intentionally to strengthen your future graduate school applications. When gaining professional experience before graduate school may be the strongest long-term strategy. How to identify your graduate school non-negotiables and make values-aligned application decisions. Work with me If you're preparing graduate school applications and want personalized guidance throughout the process, I offer one-on-one graduate admissions consulting to help you build a strategic school list, strengthen your application materials, prepare for interviews, and evaluate funding offers Learn more about my graduate school consulting services here: https://gradschoolfemtoring.com/consulting Free resource Download your Grad School Femtoring Resource Kit: https://gradschoolfemtoring.com/kit/ Explore more Listen to more episodes on Applying to Grad School: https://gradschoolfemtoring.com/podcast_catergory/applying-to-grad-school/ Support the podcast with a one-time or monthly donation: https://donate.stripe.com/bJedR8dGRcs6ewGdwq38401 Access transcripts and additional resources: https://gradschoolfemtoring.com/podcast/ Audio and transcript edited by Yessi Sanchez: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yessisanchez/ This podcast is a proud member of the Genuina Media network.

India is on the cusp of a major demographic shift. By 2047–2050, nearly one in five Indians will be over the age of 60, making retirement planning a national priority rather than a personal choice. In this exclusive conversation, C. Sivasubramaniam Raman, Chairman, PFRDA, discusses why Indians need to "grow rich before they grow old" and how the National Pension System (NPS) is evolving to meet the needs of a changing workforce. From the power of long-term compounding and retirement discipline to innovations like NPS Swasthya, digital onboarding, support for gig workers, and the future of pension reforms, the discussion explores how India's pension ecosystem is being reimagined for the decades ahead.

Culture Reporter Michaela Estruth discusses her interview with Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri. The conversation centers on Hawley's letter to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche seeking justice for nearly full-term infants whose remains were discovered in a dumpster in Washington, D.C. several years ago. Hawley questions whether outfits such as Planned Parenthood may be violating partial-birth abortion bans and chemical-abortion laws, and he presses for an investigation so that those responsible can be held accountable.They also examine an undercover probe of Plan C, an abortion-pill provider that has shipped pills beyond FDA guidelines into states where they are banned, raising serious safety risks for women—including cases of coercion. A South Dakota lawsuit challenging a state ban on abortion advertising is reviewed as a free-speech issue, with parallels drawn to restrictions on abortion-pill-reversal advertising in blue states. Hawley's letter to Meta over the alleged silencing of a whistleblower who raised concerns about child-exploitation material on the company's platforms is covered, along with his bill that would withhold Postal Service executive bonuses until on-time delivery rates improve in Missouri.Additional stories include Republican efforts to contest Missouri's redrawn 5th Congressional District, a Department of Justice demand that a Kansas City, Kansas school district end secret transgender policies, and journalist Nick Shirley's ongoing exposure of large-scale government fraud.00:00:00 – Introduction00:00:20 – Dumpster Babies Letter00:06:16 – Plan C Pill Investigation00:10:15 – South Dakota Ad Ban00:14:10 – Meta Whistleblower Silence00:14:23 – Hawley on Meta Content00:15:34 – Holding Meta Accountable00:17:44 – Postal Service Bonus Bill00:18:05 – Missouri Mail Failures00:22:00 – Missouri District 5 Election00:23:50 – Midterm Flip Potential00:25:14 – Kansas School Trans Policies00:25:41 – Nick Shirley Finds More FraudFollow The Lion on Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube.  You can also sign-up for our newsletter and follow our coverage at ReadLion.com.To learn more about the Herzog Foundation, visit HerzogFoundation.com.

Why The Podcast Is Moving To Wednesdays, And 7 Tips for Sustainable Creativity Here's my big news! After more than a decade of releasing this show on Mondays, I'm moving it to Wednesdays, and this is the first episode of the new time slot. On the one hand, this might sound like nothing at all, but it's also a big deal, for you and for me! I know many of you have a routine of listening to the show during a certain thing on a Monday, so I'm sorry to have to disrupt that, and I hope I don't lose you along the way — although I guess you could just save the episode for Monday! For me, it's a much bigger deal, because a Monday show has meant I have often recorded the intro and edited and scheduled the episode over the weekend. The main reason is that I need to record in the mornings when I have energy and when the house is less noisy, since Jonathan is often on the phone since he works from home as well. So I would prepare the episode on Fridays, and I type out this intro before reading it, and source the news and my thoughts and all that — and then I'd record it Saturday morning, or Sunday morning if Saturday was busy — and so recently, I have felt like something has to change.  Moving the show to a Wednesday means that I can prep on Monday and Tuesday, which is perfect. Its so funny because I agonised over this, in the same way I agonised over changing the theme tune a few years back. Some of you may remember that — and it also turned out to not be a big deal at all. We build things up in our minds and then sometimes the problem can be solved in a different way. So instead of going to ad hoc episodes, or once every two weeks, I hope that moving to Wednesday makes the show more sustainable again, because let's face it, there's a lot going on, and if I did a show every 2 weeks, I might have to make them longer to get through everything! So, same show, just on Wednesdays from now on. And this change underscores what today's episode is about: sustainable creativity over the long term. How do you keep writing, and publishing, and podcasting — and creating for years — and I am now at two decades — without burning out, and without becoming a slave to the algorithm, or the market, or even your own audience's expectations? The goal is not to just survive this year's release schedule, or to keep feeding the machine until you crumble under the speed of it all. The goal is to still be creating, and still be enjoying it, next month, next year, in five years, in 10 years, in 20, in 30. Who knows how many years we all have left — but for sure, we are NOT machines, we are not AI — and we cannot churn it out – and what is the point of that anyway?  So in today's show, I'll share some thoughts and tips from me and also other authors from the show on this topic, and you can find the full episodes in the backlist, and links as ever in the show notes on TheCreativePenn.com/podcast  (1) Take time out to question what you're doing In early 2024, The Tim Ferriss Show, one of the biggest podcasts in the world, hit its ten-year anniversary with over a billion downloads and over 750 episodes, and Tim decided to take a sabbatical. He paused the show for four months and seriously questioned whether to continue. Not because it was failing, it was hugely profitable and he enjoyed talking to people, but because the landscape had changed.  Podcasting had gone from a wide-open space in 2014 to a saturated market, and his question wasn't “can I keep competing?” It was “is this still the game I want to play?” Just a little note here, I started The Creative Penn Podcast in 2009 when there were even fewer shows so I know a lot about a changing podcast market! After four months, Tim came back from what he called a sabbatical with a blog post on My New Rules for Podcasting — To Keep Things Interesting. He starts with the sheer number of podcasts, saying, “Having a good show is no longer good enough. Having a great show is no longer good enough. If you want to survive in the mindshare of listeners, you need differentiation.” I think this is true for us as authors as well as podcasters, or YouTubers, or social media, or anything. But the good news is that your differentiation can be you. Regular listeners will know that I have questioned ending the show over the years, worried that I was no longer useful, or that my voice no longer mattered when there are so many podcasts on similar topics. But after your wonderful feedback, and the fact that the show still gets a lot of downloads every week, and the growth in my Patreon Community, I don't worry about that anymore. It's unlikely that any of us will have a podcast as big as Tim Ferriss's or sell as many books as The Four Hour Work Week, but that's OK, because we are not Tim. I am Jo Penn and you're here because you find my take on the publishing industry is still useful in some way. When it's not anymore, you will go elsewhere, and I find myself at peace with that. Back to Tim's article — he asks some questions of himself, including:If I get to do this for another decade, or had to do this for another decade, what new rules might I create to keep it interesting? Of course, we all have different ideas of what this means for us. And I have already implemented one of these rules, which is that I interview people on topics I find interesting. I frequently get pitched by more famous authors and bigger names, but most of the time I turn them down, and choose to talk to people who are not famous but are more interested in serving you, my audience, because that is the point of this show. I also have people on that I enjoy talking to, because checking in with my friends while you listen in, can be useful too, since my friends are often authors who've been in the industry a while now. I have to make the interviews time that I find interesting or useful or fulfilling as well. But the point is to stop and take time to consider what might need to change, even if you are really successful. You cannot be a slave to the algorithm, to the media, to your audience, for the long term. You have to put some circuit breakers in sometimes. It's the old adage about the small business. You have to work ON in the business, not just IN the business, which means you need to step away. This does sometimes mean that you have to get away physically. I had this realisation while we were in Bruges in Belgium talking to Jonathan about what changes I could make because I just felt a lack of freedom — and freedom is my highest value, so I really need to honour that. So, the first question for you is: If you feel like you need a change, if your routines are becoming too much, or your workload is too much, or you are eating into time you need for rest and recovery or family or whatever you need, can you schedule time out to have a think about what you need and how things can change? You don't need to burn it all down. You might find the answer is just moving the show from a Monday to a Wednesday! (2) Learn to pivot if you want to keep going long term I love talking to authors who have been doing this career for a long time, and in December 2025 in episode 839, I talked to Jennifer Probst, the New York Times bestselling romance author of more than sixty books, about why some authors build decades-long careers while others vanish after one breakout. Jennifer has been through the indie gold rush, the fallout, traditional deals, Kickstarter, all of it, and I asked her how she thinks about how everything keeps changing, and we start with marketing but it goes much further than that. Writing Free: Romance Author Jennifer Probst On A Long-Term Author Career *** Jo: In terms of how we do marketing, TikTok is still a thing, and we can see maybe generative AI search coming on the horizon and agentic buying. A decade ago it might have been different, more Facebook ads or whatever. Then before that it might have been something else. So there's always things changing along the way. Jennifer: Yes, there definitely is. It is a very oversaturated market. They talk about, I don't know, 2010 to 2016 maybe, as the gold rush, because that was where you could make a lot of money as an indie. Then we saw the total fallout of so many different things. I feel like I've gone through so many ups and downs in the industry. I do love it because the longer you're around, the more you learn how to pivot. If you want this career, you learn how to write differently or do whatever you need to do to keep going, in different aspects, with the changes. To me, that makes the industry exciting. Again, perspective is a big thing. But I have had to take a year to kind of rebuild when I was out of contract with a lot of things. I've had to say, “Okay, what do you see on the horizon now? Where is the new foundation? Where do you wanna restart?” Sometimes it takes a year or two of, “Maybe I won't be making big income and I cut back,” but then you're back in it, because it takes a while to write a few new books, or write under a pen name, or however you want to pivot your way back into the industry. Or, like you were saying, diversifying. I did a lot of non-fiction stuff because that's a big calling for me, so I put that into the primary for a while. I think it's important for authors to maybe not just have one thing. When that one thing goes away, you're scrambling. It's good to have a couple of different things like, “Well, okay, this genre is dead or this thing is dead or this isn't making money. Let me go to this for a little while until I see new things on the horizon.” *** I love that from Jennifer, because there are always new things on the horizon, and we try new things and we pivot, and we bring in other streams of income as some drop off, and we go again and we keep creating. Authors with longevity are authors who pivot over their careers. They may lament the end of one era, but they don't stop, they find a new way forward. (3) Set a sustainable pace, and don't build reader expectations you can't deliver on Kevin J. Anderson is one of the most productive writers alive, with hundreds of books, most of which he writes with dictation while out hiking, and he has been on this show many times. In January 2025, in episode 791, we talked about building a long-term author business, and how authors need to be careful about setting reader expectations around pace of releases. Building A Long Term Author Business, Dictation, Kickstarter, and Short Story Collections With Kevin J Anderson Kevin: Now, again, we get back to the longevity of a career. It is exhausting to write lots of books a year, and most people can't keep doing that for 20 years or 30 years. That's one of the reasons, especially indie authors, where readers expect you to write several books a year. Some indie authors I know are writing a book a month. I couldn't do that for any long period. Well, I couldn't do that probably for a single year. You start building expectations, and when you fail to meet those expectations, they will leave you very quickly. That's why you should have Plan Bs. If you really, really can't stand writing your steampunk vampire romance series after book number 29, well, make sure that you have some other series you're starting and building up. Well, Hugh Howey's got several series that are going. Michael Anderle has all kinds of series, and Craig Martelle has all kinds of series. You don't just put all your eggs in one basket. You need to have Plan B and Plan C, to circle around to what I started with. *** Whatever cadence you choose, for your books, your email newsletters, or or your podcast, or your social media, choose a pace you can still be keeping up in a decade, because this is a long term career, and longevity in the market is one of the most important things. It's better to pace yourself than burn out. (4) Don't try to do it all, and try to identify the fear that might be driving your choices I couldn't do an episode on sustainability without Becca Syme! Becca is an author coach who has worked with thousands of writers, she is the creator of the Better-Faster Academy and the Quit books, and the QuitCast podcast — and In January 2023, in episode 668, at the end of our conversation about intuitive writing and marketing, I asked her what authors who sustain long careers have in common. Intuitive Writing And Book Marketing With Becca Syme *** Joanna: So in terms of sustainability, let's talk about that. You coach writers every day, you see writers on every spectrum of every personality type, and people who write differently and release differently and publish differently. So what do you see as your recommendations or, I guess, commonalities for authors who want this sustainable career as a writer for the long term in order not to burn out? What are you seeing in terms of the best way to be sustainable in a creative career? Becca: Conquering the fear that we have that we're not going to get what we want out of the career, like 100%. Because the fear is the thing that's driving us to burn ourselves out. The fear that if I don't do it this way, I'm not going to make money. If I don't do it this way, I'm not going to have a long career. I'm going to miss out on something if I don't do absolutely everything. And then I think the most important knowledge that we can have is that everyone in this industry who's a nonfiction person, including me, is giving you a perspective on how author life can be done. Every single one of us, not the perspective on how it should be done in order to have success. And if we could just change our expectations of how we look at the people who are helping us who are being good, helpful people who are very sure that their way is the correct way and who should be, again, because like all experts, they've had success doing what they are doing. But the downside is from someone whose job is to sit with authors for 45 minutes at a time, all day, every day, I see the outcome of the people who have tried to “do it all,” in quotes, with capital letters, and who are burned out because they were doing everything out of a fear place. And I think one of the best things that can happen in our — and what burnout often does is it forces us to reckon with the fact that we were doing all of this because we were afraid. My book isn't going to sell, I'm not going to be able to do this, I have this dream that I'm holding on to and what happens if it doesn't manifest itself. Then we make a lot of our decisions about how much to take on based on fear, and we don't know it. Because we don't realize that our brains are wired for survival, and so anytime fear kicks in, your brain is like, well, we have to do that because if you're afraid of it, then that must mean that we need it in order to survive. And we don't. We will survive if our books don't sell. We have to calm that fear and answer the question. Like, what will happen if in five years, I have not sold more than $1,000 on every book that I am writing? Like if each of the individual books that I write have not made more than $1,000. And I have to reckon with what might happen if that happens, because if I don't, that fear is going to drive me to burnout over and over and over and over again. That is why we're making so many of our decisions, including: do I pay for this class or conference? Do I pay for this book? Do I spend money on this advertising? Do I hire this expert consultant? So many of us are making those choices out of fear and we don't realize it. And that's why when we do our public live coaching, and whenever I'm at a conference, I'm always listening for, “but what are you afraid is not going to happen? Or what are you afraid is going to happen?” Because if we don't deconstruct that part of yourself and calm your survival mechanism down, you're going to continue over and over again to make those decisions out of fear. Then you're going to not listen to your intuition because you think it's risky to listen to it. And so I really think, and some of this might include therapy for some of us, I'm just going to acknowledge some of us have trauma around not getting what we want or around not actualizing our desires, and we can't just talk ourselves into letting the fear go. But some of us do just need to consistently confront the fear and make a plan for what happens and then act in spite of that fear because we are not making good decisions when we are in survival mode. *** Becca is very wise, and also pretty hardcore! So if you feel like you are trying to do it all, and you are on the edge of burning out, can you identify the fear beneath it? (5) Question what still serves you, especially as things continue to change Sometimes we keep doing things the same way, even when things have changed. What is lost if we give things up? What is gained? And what kind of game do you want to play? In episode 845, Claire Taylor, humour and mystery author, owner of FFS Media, certified Enneagram coach, talks about how social media has changed and why she gave it up. Leaving Social Media, Writing Iconic Characters, and Building Trust With Claire Taylor *** Joanna: One thing I know will have perked up people's ears is: “I left social media.” Tell us a bit more about that. Claire: This was a move that I could feel coming for a while. I didn't like what social media did to my attention. Even when I wasn't on it, there was almost a hangover from having been on it. My attention didn't feel as sharp and focused as it used to be, back before social media became what it is now. So I started asking myself some questions: What is lost if I leave? What is gained if I leave? And what is social media actually doing for me today? Because sometimes we hold on to what it used to do for us, and we keep trying to squeeze more and more of that out of it. But it has changed so much. There are almost no places with sufficient organic reach anymore. It's all pay-to-play, and the cost of pay-to-play keeps going up. I looked at the numbers for my business. My Kickstarter was a great place to analyse that because they track so many traffic sources so clearly. I could see exactly how much I was getting from social media when I advertised and promoted my projects there. Then I asked: can I let that go in order to get my attention back and make my life feel more settled? And I decided: yes, I can. That's worth more to me. Joanna: There are some things money can't buy. Sometimes it really isn't about the money. I like your question: what is lost and what is gained? You also said it's all pay-to-play and there's no organic reach. I do think there is some organic reach for some people who don't pay, but those people are very good at playing the game of whatever the platform wants. So, TikTok for example—you might not have to pay money yet, but you do have to play their game. You have to pay with your time instead of money. I agree with you. I don't think there's anywhere you can literally just post something and know it will reliably reach the people who follow you. Claire: Right. Exactly. TikTok currently, if you really play the game, will sometimes “pick” you, right? But that “pick me” energy is not really my jam. And we can see the trend—this “organic” thing doesn't last. It's organic for now. You can play the game for now, but TikTok would be crazy not to change things so they make more money. So eventually everything becomes pay-to-play. TikTok is fun, but for me it's addictive. I took it off my phone years ago because I would do the infinite scroll. There's so much candy there. Then I'd wake up the next morning and notice my mood just wasn't where I wanted it to be. My energy was low. I really saw a correlation between how much I scrolled and how flat I felt afterwards. So I realised: I'm not the person to pay-to-play or to play the game here. I'm not even convinced that the pay-to-play on certain social media networks is being tracked in a reliable, accountable way anymore. Who is holding them accountable for those numbers? You can sort of see correlation in your sales, but still, I just became more and more sceptical. In the end, it just wasn't for me. My life is so much better on a daily basis without it. That's definitely a decision I have not regretted for a second. **** To be clear, we're not saying you should give up social media, but it's about questioning how things make you feel, and what you can sustain and how you want to spend your time. I did question once again whether to give up this show entirely, but it is an important part of my creative body of work, and quite frankly, I reach more people with the podcast than I do with my books, and I still love talking to people, and I learn, and it underpins my business. I don't do much social media though. I learn about AI things on X and I do post photos and things on Instagram but I don't do much else. You have to decide what is right for you, but also, what is right for you might change over time. If we have a long term career, or a long term anything, things will change, and we will need to move on sometimes, or at least question whether it is still working in the way it used to. (6) Consider different approaches to creativity. It doesn't have to be every day, or every week.  In April 2026, in episode 858, I talked to Sara Rosett, USA Today bestselling mystery author and co-host of the Wish I'd Known Then podcast, about low-key marketing, and a more seasonal approach, or phased approach to podcasting as well as writing. Special Editions, Seasonal Podcasts, and the Art of Low-Key Book Marketing with Sara Rosett *** Jo: Although I must say I had forgotten about your Mystery Books podcast and going to seasonal. I also had my second podcast, Books and Travel, which is now on a kind of hiatus, but going to a seasonal approach is actually really interesting. Do you find that listeners come back to that podcast? Sara: Yes, and it surprises me because I've always thought you have to be weekly with a podcast to gain any traction at all, which I think is the best way to do it. You can build an audience quickly then, but I just knew I couldn't sustain that. So when I set out, I started with maybe seven to ten episodes and I did them each year — each year has had a season — and I do five to ten episodes. Readers find it, and I have highlighted specific books. I think maybe they're searching for a podcast about the Thursday Murder Club or something like that. They find it that way, and I get downloads, just steady downloads throughout the year, and I don't do much. I do some Pinterest pins for that, and that's about all I do. This is one of those things — it's the kind of low-key marketing that's low threshold, but it does work. I think if your readers are looking for stuff to listen to about the topic you write about, it could be a good way to do some low-cost, long-tail marketing. I love it. I keep doing it because I love it. Jo: That just seems more sustainable to me. I didn't like doing everything every day or every single week. Sara: Me either. I like switching it up, and I do enjoy the different phases of writing. I like the research and then I like doing the — well, I don't like the drafting that much, but once I get a draft done, I like the editing. And then when it comes time to promote it or do a special edition or whatever, I enjoy that part. Finding whatever I'm going to use for the interior photos and stuff — just things like that. I enjoy each phase and I like switching it out. Jo: I think that's really good. Some people think this writer's life is you write new words every single day and you manage your ads every single day. That seems to be what some people do, but that's certainly not us, is it? Sara: No. And that's great if you want to do that. I just don't want to. And I think we've come to the point now where each person can do this as they want. Hopefully people don't feel the pressure to meet these self-imposed deadlines or parameters that don't exist. There's no rules for writing or publishing. You can do whatever you want. *** I am definitely a seasonal creator, I don't write every day. I never have. I binge write when a book emerges, or binge create. As I record this I am working on the treatment and trailer for what is now called Cathedral Zero, a positive futurist sci-fi feature film that I am entering in the FutureVision X Prize in the next week or so, and then I will move to the next project. I also love Kickstarter launches for this reason. They feel much more sustainable because it's such a focused marketing push. My Books and Travel Podcast is still on hiatus, but I may still resurrect that at some point. I still feel the pull of it. And of course, this show remains weekly, but the Wednesday shift will hopefully help keep it this way. I can't see me going seasonal with this, but never say never! The main thing is to consider seasonality, or consider phased approaches to your work, rather than trying to do exactly the same thing week in week out. (7) Creative humans evolve. Build a body of work for the long term. Roz Morris first came on this podcast in 2011, and in March 2026, in episode 853 we talked about her memoir, discovery writing, and slow, sustainable book marketing. Roz is an award-nominated literary author and former bestselling ghostwriter, an editor and I always appreciate her perspective as she has been doing this far longer than I have. **** JOANNA: Do you still actively choose indie for a particular reason? ROZ: I do. I really like building my own body of work, and I'm now experienced enough to know what I do well, what I need advice with, and help with. I mean, we don't do all this completely by ourselves, do we? We bring in experts who will give us the right feedback if we're doing a new genre or a genre that's new to us. I choose indie because I like the control. Because I began in traditional publishing—I was making books for other people—I just learned all the trades and how to do everything to a professional standard. I love being able to apply that to my own work. I also love the way I can decide what I'm going to write next. If I was traditionally published, I would have to do something that fitted with whatever the publisher would want of me, and that isn't necessarily where my muse is taking me or what I've become interested in. I think creative humans evolve throughout their lives. They become interested in different things, different themes, different ways of expressing themselves. I began by thinking I would just write novels, and now I've found myself writing memoirs as well. That shift would have been difficult if someone else was having to make me fit into their marketing plans or what their imprint was known for. But because I've built my own audience, I can just bring them with me and say, “You might like this. It's still me. I'm just doing something different.” **** Inspiring words from Roz there — “It's still me, I'm just doing something different.” And indeed, I am a very different Jo from the new author who started this podcast back in March 2009. I have evolved and this show has evolved and this is not the end, it is a new phase. It's funny because it's just a shift of two days, but it also breaks a habit, for you listening and for me creating. It changes a time slot, and that itself can be a way to change energy, to change direction, to shift what matters and how we do things.  So that's what I want to leave you with today. A question around how shifting something, even something small, might make a big difference to your creative body of work, the quality of time you have for yourself or your family, and I'd love to know what you think about today's episode and what we covered, as well as your thoughts on the Wednesday shift.  Please leave a comment on the show notes, or the YouTube channel, or email me. I will see you next Wednesday, so happy writing and I'll see you next time!The post Why The Podcast Is Moving To Wednesdays, And 7 Tips for Sustainable Creativity first appeared on The Creative Penn.

El que olvida su pasado, está destinado a repetirlo y Estados Unidos convocó a una cumbre que revive temores sobre el Plan Cóndor.

Fredo es tan solo un adolescente cuando estalla el golpe militar de Pinochet en Chile en 1973. En una mañana, las bombas acaban con un futuro que se anunciaba brillante y con las promesas de Salvador Allende. Con la represión y la persecución, el adolescente abandona Santiago, cruza la Cordillera y comienza un largo camino hacia el exilio. Esta historia es la de Alfredo Pena-Vega, sin serlo totalmente. Se trata de una novela, publicada por la editorial Atlande: Mis noches de exilio. Alfredo Pena-Vega construyó su vida en Francia y participó en la vida intelectual del país de la mano del filósofo Edgar Morin. Pero, el sociólogo en la Escuela de Altos Estudios en Ciencias Sociales (EHESS) y Director científico del Programa internacional Pacto de jóvenes por el clima no había contado esta historia. Si lo hace ahora y recurriendo a la ficción es porque “estamos en un momento preocupante, no solamente en Europa, sino también en Latinoamérica y en otros continentes”, explica.   “Preocupante porque las democracias están vacilando y la palabra vacilar queda corta”, y es por ello que el autor estima fundamental volver a la memoria. El segundo motivo es poner el foco en los adolescentes víctimas del pinochetismo, suyas historias han quedado en la sombra; “la adolescencia es un punto ciego de lo que se ha contado sobre la dictadura de Pinochet”.  Alfredo Pena-Vega recuerda que cuando empezó a investigar sobre estas adolescencias en dictadura se percató de que no había “ningún escrito sobre los jóvenes adolescentes”. “Para mí era importante contar esta historia porque se sabe muy poco de la represión de los jóvenes adolescentes en Chile. Hoy en día hay todavía más de 100 y pocos jóvenes desaparecidos. Y en el relato que yo cuento son jóvenes entre 14 y 16 años, que no tuvieron un relato”, agrega.  La historia de Fredo, retrato de una adolescencia marcada por la dictadura Fredo es un adolescente cursando la secundaria cuando estalla el golpe de estado. Aunque él y sus compañeros son muy jóvenes ya están muy politizados, muchos adhieren al proyecto “utópico” de Allende pero otros se alinean con los ideales de la dictadura. Al encontrarse en el campo de los perseguidos a partir del 11 de septiembre de 1973, Fredo tiene que crecer rápido. La experiencia carcelaria a la par de adultos le deja una profunda melancolía, así como la obligación de abandonar su trayectoria escolar. Una vida de errancia y exilio La primera etapa del exilio lo lleva a Argentina, pero pronto debe huir nuevamente cuando la represión alcanza también ese país. Al mismo tiempo, otro régimen militar comienza a gestarse. Los refugiados chilenos quedan especialmente expuestos y vulnerables. Con apenas recursos, marcado por el miedo y el hambre, llega a Brasil, un país que parece ofrecer refugio pero que pronto revela sus propios peligros. Recibido por un sacerdote cercano al régimen, debe marcharse antes de ser descubierto y empieza a sobrevivir bajo una identidad falsa. A partir de 1975, el Plan Cóndor toma forma y la persecución llega a cualquier rincón del cono Sur, las dictaduras militares sudamericanas entran en relación para reprimir sistemáticamente a todos los militantes de izquierdas, a los comunistas. Las sombras del pasado que atraviesan el Chile actual Cincuenta años después del golpe, la más reciente campaña presidencial que llevó a Kast al poder estuvo plagada de referencias a la época de Pinochet.“Creo que muchos pensaron que el retorno de la democracia era ya definitivo. Muchos se olvidan del capital de simpatía que tuvo Pinochet durante mucho tiempo y en una parte de la derecha chilena quedó todavía esa, digamos, nostalgia al dictador”, recuerda.  “Creo que es importante que las personas recuerden y no solamente recuerden, sino que tengan presente de que la democracia no es una garantía.”  Mis noches de exilio, Alfredo Pena-Vega. Editorial Atlande.  Un programa coordinado por Yesica Brumec y Julia Courtois.

Aujourd'hui, Joëlle Dago-Serry, coach de vie, Charles Consigny, avocat, et Didier Giraud, éleveur de bovins, débattent de l'actualité autour d'Alain Marschall et Olivier Truchot.

Clayton as DNI, DOJ/Trump's $1.8B slush fund lives, Trump vs Platner, and Iran and inflation. It has been a wild, weird, harrowing week — Iran, ICE in Minneapolis, a UFC fight at the White House, the Knicks in the playoffs, and a president who keeps telling you out loud what he plans to do next. In this special Friday pop-media episode, Paul Rieckhoff brings you his weekly conversation from MS Now and breaks down what he's calling Trump's Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C: weaponize the National Guard, weaponize ICE, and weaponize the ballot box. It's not speculation. Trump has said it. Steve Bannon has said it. The reporting backs it up. And Congress — by Paul's read — has stopped exactly nothing. This is a no-BS briefing for the angry middle. Paul connects the dots between the resurrected payout scheme for January 6th defendants, the ICE escalation in blue cities, the Iran war driving gas prices through the roof, and the coming primary fights from Maine to Nebraska to Montana where independent veterans are stepping up where Democrats can't. He's blunt about the Democratic brand problem, blunt about the Republican capitulation, and clear about where the circuit breaker actually lives: election integrity, the courts, Congress, and an angry middle that refuses to check out for the summer. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Join Noble Mobile today and get a $100 bonus when you stay a member for 2 months! -Join IVA and stand up to Trump's Forever Wars. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Remember Independent is an Attitude. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

It's Memorial Day weekend. Americans are visiting Arlington, honoring generations who stepped forward with integrity, sacrifice, and honor. And days before that solemn marker, the President of the United States floated cash payouts to the domestic terrorists who violently attacked the Capitol on January 6th. Not a pardon. A payout. Paul Rieckhoff and the panel break down why this isn't a tantrum or a distraction — it's strategy. Call it Plan C: when the military won't move and ICE is uncertain, you incentivize the insurrectionists themselves. You signal to every desperate, despised foot soldier that violence against the government will be rewarded. From there the conversation pivots to the other sucking chest wound of the week: House Republican leaders scrapping the Iran war powers vote because they didn't have the votes. Congressman Pat Ryan, a West Point grad and combat veteran, says out loud what veterans across the country are feeling — a generation of chicken hawks is sending other people's kids to die again, with Cuba teed up next and an aircraft carrier already in position. The panel maps the fracture lines: Massie carving out an anti-war, anti-tariff, pro-transparency lane; the manosphere abandoning the regime-change crowd; and the 45% of Americans who are independent and unaffiliated, looking for someone — anyone — who will speak for the angry middle. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Join IVA and stand up to Trump's Forever Wars. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Remember Independent is an Attitude. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

Trump Plummets in Polls with Independents, $5 Gas, and War With Iran He Can't Spin. We're Not The Spoilers! The Surging Knicks. $1.8B for Insurrectionists and Violent Proud Boy Extremists? Is Cuba Next? Memorial Day Pain is a Reminder. The Real Spoilers are the Parties. Thank you, Stephen Colbert.  Trump is in the 20s with independents, gas is over five bucks a gallon in some states, Memorial Day is about to remind Americans of the human cost of his Iran war, and Cuba is looming over the horizon. Meanwhile the administration is funneling what looks like $1.8 billion in taxpayer money to January 6 insurrectionists and violent Proud Boy extremists — including a reported $2-to-5 million ask from Enrique Tarrio. Paul Rieckhoff calls it Plan C: if the military won't invoke the Insurrection Act and ICE can't carry the water, you green-light the angry mob and promise pardons in advance. This is what corruption looks like, and it's the most immediate threat to free and fair elections this fall. In this special quick-fire episode, Paul takes you out of the studio and into the streets of Midtown Manhattan with highlights from two back-to-back media hits — one left of center on MSNOW, one right of center on NewsNation — same independent read on both. He breaks down why ten thousand Americans are walking out of the Republican and Democratic parties every single week, why Thomas Massie just got elevated by Trump's attacks, why the Democrats are the actual spoilers in Senate races in Nebraska, Montana, and South Dakota, and why the rigged two-party system is finally cracking. Plus a Memorial Day shout-out to Stephen Colbert on his last show, and yes — a Knicks pick. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Join IVA and stand up to Trump's Forever Wars. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Remember Independent is an Attitude. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

"Il y a des moments où je prends ma fille dans les bras et je lui dis "tu as besoin de pleurer ?". Elle se met à pleurer. Pour un comédien, c'est ahurissant. Elle pleure, c'est tellement vrai. Alors qu'il y a deux secondes, elle pleurait pas. Je voyais juste que son visage commençait à rougir. Et ça s'arrête au bout de 3-4 minutes, elle passe à autre chose. Et là je me dis : heureusement que je ne l'ai pas forcée à retenir cette émotion."Dans ce nouvel épisode de la série "De l'enfant au parent", Guillaume Labbé explore en profondeur la question du cheminement parental et de la gestion émotionnelle : comment accompagner ses enfants alors qu'on se sent parfois perdu, dans une époque où les repères éducatifs vacillent ? Guillaume se livre sur la manière dont son histoire personnelle, ses doutes, ses tentatives et ses erreurs façonnent aujourd'hui sa vision de l'éducation et sa parentalité.Connu sur les écrans pour ses rôles dans « Plan Cœur », « Le Diplôme », ou encore « Anaon », Guillaume se dévoile ici en tant que père en quête de sens et d'équilibre. Ancien sportif, passionné d'écriture, il évoque sans détour les écueils, les doutes et les évolutions qui jalonnent son parcours parental. Il partage l'importance de ses lectures (comme “Pour une enfance heureuse” de Catherine Gueguen), ses essais-erreurs, et sa réflexion sur la nécessité d'un cadre, justement dans une société où tout change et où il devient difficile d'avoir des repères stables.Au fil de l'interview, Guillaume revient sur :➜ Son enfance dans une fratrie soudée et sportive➜ Le choc du passage de l'éducation “à l'instinct” aux repères plus construits de la parentalité➜ Sa vision sur les méthodes éducatives positives et les moments de bascule (abandon du time-out, gestion des crises la nuit,...)➜ La solitude des parents aujourd'hui face à la profusion de conseils contradictoires➜ La gestion des émotions, à la fois pour soi et ses enfants, alors qu'on ne nous a jamais appris comment faireUn témoignage inspirant sur la nécéssité que nous avons tous, en tant que parent, de déconstruire certains automatismes éducatifs, et de grandir en même temps que nos enfants.---------------DE L'ENFANT AU PARENT (~1 épisode par mois)Je vous propose ici une série plus intime et personnelle, où je pars à la rencontre d'artistes et personnalités publiques, pour explorer avec eux leur enfance et l'impact qu'elle a eu sur l'adulte et le parent qu'ils sont devenus.

You are not failing because you lack discipline. You're struggling because you're trying to live like a machine.  In this episode, I'm breaking down why most systems fall apart the moment life gets hard and how to rebuild yours so it actually works for a human nervous system.  We're taught to design routines assuming endless energy, focus, and motivation, but real life doesn't operate that way. You have limited time, attention, and willpower, and your systems need to reflect that reality.  I explain why the most effective systems are the ones that require the least amount of thinking and decision-making. When stress hits, you don't rise to the occasion. You default to your systems. If your routine only works on your best days, it's not a system, it's a wish. I walk you through how to design structures that hold you steady when you're tired, overwhelmed, or distracted. We'll talk about simplifying your priorities so consistency becomes automatic instead of exhausting.  I introduce the Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C framework to help you escape the all-or-nothing cycle. Plan A is for high-energy days, Plan B supports you when things feel harder, and Plan C keeps you moving forward on your worst days.  Success doesn't need to look the same every day, especially in different seasons of life. This episode will help you build systems that meet you where you are, so you can stay consistent without burning yourself out.   Time Stamps:   (2:32) Moving Updates   (6:22) The Fresh Start Effect   (8:54) Different Levels To Our Goals   (14:29) Beware Of The Comparison Trap   (16:28) Vanessa's Plan A --------------------- Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching --------------------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  --------------------- Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program --------------------- Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life! --------------------- Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share! --------------------- Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

In this episode, Jim Garrity - the leading expert in the country on deposition strategies and tactics - rolls out another spectacular deposition strategy you won't find anywhere else. It's the application of the PACE Method to your deposition scheduling. It will change how you draft your deposition notices forever.PACE - an acronym for Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency - was devised by the U.S. Military to ensure that if the primary plan goes haywire, there is a Plan B: an immediate go-to backup. And a Plan C, and a Plan D. It sharply increases the odds of mission success because there are no debates or delays when one plan fails. Everyone switches to the next layer of redundancy.Here, Garrity tells you how to apply PACE to deposition scheduling, so that when your primary plan for deposing a witness - say, an in-person deposition - cannot proceed, you (and all other participants) immediately switch to your alternate plans.As always, thanks for listening to the number #1 podcast in the world devoted exclusively to deposition strategies and tactics for litigators handling civil, administrative, arbitrative, and criminal proceedings.
