Are you tired of second-guessing whether an intuitive download is authentic spiritual guidance or just fear and overthinking? In this guided Reiki journey led by Danni Smith, you will bring a specific decision, hunch, or concern into sacred space to test its energetic tone and physical somatic response. Learn how to recognize the felt difference between steady inner knowing and urgent mental pressure while anchoring deep self-trust without needing immediate certainty. Key Insights Somatic Tone vs. Mental Urgency: Authentic spiritual guidance registers as steady, spacious, and clear, even when asking you to do something challenging. In contrast, fear, old stories, and overthinking typically present as physical heaviness, tightness in the throat or chest, and a frantic demand to act immediately. The Expansion Test: Real guidance offers curiosity, options, and room to take a manageable next step. Fear contracts your energetic field, making you feel small, anxious, and locked into only one rigid, acceptable outcome. Trusting Without Total Certainty: Discernment is a living practice rather than an instantaneous final verdict. By pausing, muscle testing, and placing Reiki around the sensations, you learn to trust your inner knowing and stay in motion without needing 100% certainty. The River of Flow and Synchronicities: Once you release the pressure to fix or evaluate guidance right away, clarity naturally unfolds through divine timing. Guides often confirm aligned steps through everyday messages, license plates, songs, and the smooth flow of the River of Peace.   People Also Ask (FAQ) How does genuine spiritual guidance feel in the body? Authentic spiritual guidance feels steady, grounded, and open in the body, even when delivering a difficult truth. It provides space and curiosity rather than physical tightness, heaviness, or frantic urgency. How can I tell if a thought is coming from fear or intuition? Fear demands immediate, pressured action and creates a sensation of closing down options or repeating old patterns. Intuition unfolds with calm clarity, offering possibilities and inviting you to take one aligned next step at a time. Do I need total certainty to trust my intuition? No, spiritual discernment rarely requires 100% certainty before taking action. Practicing self-trust involves pausing, listening to somatic cues or muscle testing, and allowing momentum to build like a flowing river.

Christian leadership isn't about being the hero or having all the answers. It begins with following Jesus faithfully and helping others follow Him alongside you. In this episode, Albo Esilaba talks with Vince Miller, founder and president of Resolute Ministries and a featured speaker at the 2027 No Regrets Men's Conference. Vince shares how his struggle to become the perfect husband and father transformed his understanding of leadership. He and Albo explore overcoming shame and repetitive sin, replacing false humility with authentic vulnerability, and using prayer and Scripture to deepen intimacy with God. They also discuss why experienced Christian leaders can lose their wonder for God's Word, how ministry ambition can become discontentment, and why men must silence the voice of self-disqualification that keeps them on the sidelines. In this episode: • Following Jesus instead of trying to be the hero • Overcoming shame, fear, and defeatist thinking • Practicing authentic vulnerability • Building intimacy with God through Scripture and prayer • Recovering joy in God's Word • Pursuing contentment and finishing well • Stepping into Christian leadership with courage Join Vince Miller at the No Regrets Men's Conference on February 6, 2027: https://www.noregretsconference.org/ Vince Miller and Resolute Ministries: https://beresolute.org/ No Regrets Men's Ministry: https://noregretsmen.org/

Think your cheer team has plenty of time before competition? What if you stopped counting the months and realized you only have a handful of actual practices left? It's easy for athletes, parents, and coaches to look at the calendar and think there's plenty of time to get a routine competition-ready. But three months doesn't mean three months of training, it might mean only 20 practices. And what athletes do between those practices can either reinforce their progress or undo the work they've already put in. In this episode, Jason and Gina break down why creating a sense of urgency doesn't mean panicking, it means recognizing how valuable every practice, private lesson, and opportunity to improve really is. They also get into tryout preparation, building consistent skills, staying disciplined outside the gym, and why even the most stacked team still has to earn the win on competition day. In this episode, you'll learn: Why counting practices instead of days can completely change the way athletes and coaches approach competition prep. How the habits athletes develop outside of practice can either accelerate their progress or undo the technique they've worked hard to build. Why talent, dream-team rosters, and big goals aren't enough and how discipline, repetition, and consistent effort turn those goals into results. Hit play to learn how to make every practice count, build better habits between practices, and approach your cheer goals with the urgency needed to actually achieve them.

Architecture is usually discussed as a service. A client has a need, a firm delivers a building, everyone moves on to the next project. Dr. Marwa Al-Sabouni makes a harder argument. She says the built environment is one of the strongest forces shaping whether people in a place trust each other, and that the consequences of getting it wrong can take generations to show up. She would know. Marwa is an architect based in Homs, Syria, who stayed through the war and wrote about what she was watching in real time. In this episode she and Bryce talk about how decades of zoning and redevelopment separated communities that had lived together, what she believes reconstruction actually requires, why identity and beauty are structural concerns rather than decorative ones, and what it means to keep practicing architecture in a place where the profession's stakes are impossible to ignore. This one is for architects, engineers, and firm leaders who want a bigger frame on what their work does after the ribbon is cut. It's also for anyone in AEC who has started to wonder whether the profession they trained for still means what they thought it meant. About Dr. Marwa Al-Sabouni Dr. Marwa Al-Sabouni is an architect, urban thinker, author, and international speaker based in Syria. She holds a PhD in architectural design and Islamic architecture, and her work brings together sociology, contextual and psychological analysis, and aesthetics to make the case for architecture as a society-making tool. She is the author of The Battle for Home (2016), Building for Hope (2020), and Mosque (2026), published internationally by Thames & Hudson, and a chapter-author in the Getty publication Cultural Heritage and Mass Atrocities (2022). Her writing has appeared in RIBA Journal, Architectural Review, Standpoint Magazine, the Victoria & Albert Museum, the ICRC Journal, Renovatio, Middle East Eye, and others. She received the Prince Claus Award in 2018, was named to the BBC 100 Women list in 2019, and won the World Monuments Fund Watch Award in 2023. The Battle for Home was named one of the Guardian's best architecture books of 2016, Prospect Magazine named her one of the top 50 thinkers in the world, and Architectural Digest listed her among the top contenders for the 2018 Pritzker Prize. Her TED talk has been viewed over a million times.

Zoning, density, and material choices change how likely people are to know and trust the people around them. Beauty and identity are not budget line items to cut first. They are part of what makes people willing to stay somewhere and take care of it. Reconstruction that ignores what a place meant to the people who lived there rebuilds the buildings and loses the community. Architects have more influence over social outcomes than the typical scope of work suggests, and that influence operates whether or not anyone claims it. A career in this industry gets more durable, not less, when you can name what your work is actually for.

Motherhood changes everything—and not just in the ways we expect. While welcoming a child can bring immense joy, it also stirs up unseen emotions, hidden wounds, and internal struggles with guilt, shame, and the daunting pressure to "get it all right." Far from the sugar-coated images often seen on social media, the journey into parenthood can leave many feeling isolated, overwhelmed, and silently wondering, "Is it just me?" In this episode, listeners are invited to explore the nuanced realities of becoming a parent and the powerful, often unspoken, shifts it triggers within. You'll discover how experiences from your own past may resurface, why feelings of disconnection or being "not good enough" are so universal, and how concepts like matrescence and internal family systems can offer understanding—and real tools—for healing, growth, and creating deeper, more authentic connections with yourself and the people you love. Dr. Angele Close is a clinical psychologist, mindfulness meditation teacher, and author who specializes in maternal mental health. She uses the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model to support mothers navigating matrescence, helping them release perfectionism, shame, and self-criticism. Her work empowers women to cultivate self-compassion, confidence, and emotional resilience through trauma-informed, compassionate, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches. She is the author of Unburdening Motherhood: A Guide to Breaking Cycles, Healing Trauma, and Becoming a Self-Led Mom.   Episode Highlights 05:21 Parenting challenges with neurodiverse children. 08:08 Parental mental health challenges. 11:43 Struggles with motherhood expectations. 15:27 Pressures and expectations on parents. 16:19 Addressing motherhood burnout. 21:06 Exploring personal growth through motherhood. 24:49 Understanding Internal Family Systems (IFS). 29:24 Understanding self-protective behaviors. 33:42 Understanding the Inner Critic. 39:17 Navigating early parenthood myths. 42:36 Practicing mindfulness and self-compassion. 43:40 Helping moms with healing and guilt.   Your Checklist of Actions to Take Pause and Check In: Regularly pause during your day to notice your body sensations, emotions, and thoughts to increase self-awareness and identify when you're getting activated. Acknowledge Your Parts: Recognize when protective parts of you (e.g., inner critic, perfectionist, controller) are taking over and name them to yourself to help de-escalate internal tension. Practice Self-Compassion: Offer yourself kindness, especially when you notice challenging emotions like guilt, shame, or overwhelm arising in your parenting or relationships. Communicate Openly with Your Partner: Initiate honest conversations with your partner about your current struggles, needs, and aspirations as parents and as a couple to foster connection and teamwork. Explore and Discuss Family Values: Identify and discuss with your partner the values and beliefs you hold about what makes a "good" parent or partner, noting where your perspectives align or differ 40:05. Allow Grief and Vulnerability: When old wounds or unmet needs arise (such as grief while parenting), let yourself feel them and seek supportive spaces, rather than pushing them aside. Set Boundaries for Self-Care: Notice patterns of depletion and intentionally set boundaries to prioritize your rest, nutrition, and personal time, even if it means asking for more help or saying no. Seek Support and Normalize the Experience: Join parent groups, seek therapy or coaching, or read supportive resources like Unburdening Motherhood to help normalize the challenges and connect with others who share your experiences.   Mentioned Unburdening Motherhood (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) ERP 261: How To Strengthen Your Relationship From A Polyvagal Perspective – An Interview with Dr. Stephen Porges ERP 276: Understanding The Need For Both Self-Regulation And Co-Regulation In Relationship – An Interview With Deb Dana ERP 423: How To Transcend Trauma (And The Effects Experience In Relationship) — An Interview With Dr. Frank Anderson Shifting Criticism For Connected Communication (free relationship guide)   Connect with Dr. Angele Close Website: drangeleclose.com Facebook: facebook.com/angele.close.2025/ Instagram: instagram.com/drangeleclose LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dr-angele-close TikTok: tiktok.com/@cyclebreakingmomma  

Brian and Judson prepare for this week's premiere of “The Traitors: New Blood” on NBC and Peacock featuring Dads and Daddies friend and former guest (Season 2, Episode 31), the brilliant immigration attorney and anti-ICE activist Michael Foote as a contestant. Judson returns from a destination wedding in Portugal with gay beach and bathhouse recommendations. Brian succeeds in making his first “hotwifing” experience happen, where he brought together his husband and a previous hookup and watched them hookup together. The Hookup of the Week finds a trans woman taking a leap of faith that results in a magical night. Brian and Judson are then joined by actor Barrett Foa, known for his 12 seasons on “NCIS: Los Angeles” and for his current stint on Broadway playing Mary's Teacher opposite Bowen Yang in Oh, Mary! Barrett talks about how he has found himself on Broadway after an almost 20-year absence, what it was like to work opposite Meg Stalter and what a happy return it has been after a dozen years working on a crime procedural TV show teeming with alpha male energy. He shares the dilemma he faced as a gay actor on a hit show at the time that celebrities began to come out of the closet in force, and how he found the freedom to live fully out and proud through his discovery of Burning Man. He shares his NCIS co-star Chris O'Donnell's reaction to learning how important he was to some gay men's sexual awakenings; he recounts how Burning Man brought him together with his partner of three years who is deaf; and he delves deep into his Daddy Issue with a father who is incapable of giving compliments.Barrett also tells Brian and Judson about his friendship with Kylie Minogue, the incredible work of Every Day Action, the nonprofit of which he's a founding member and board VP, and he helps respond to a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener whose fiance has just passed away and its looking for guidance on grieving.

In this final week of our Sabbath series, Cameo looked into the words and work of Jesus in the Gospels to discover how He unlocks the true heart of Sabbath rest.Sabbath as Creation Blessing: Rather than viewing Sabbath as an obsolete Old Testament rule that we no longer need to practice it, we see that Sabbath was established in Genesis as a creation blessing. God engaged in Sabbath not out of need, but out of His fullness of life, inviting humanity to dwell in celebratory communion with Him.The Easy Yoke: In Matthew 11, Jesus addresses the exhausted by offering a yoke—a wooden beam pairing a stronger ox with a weaker one. When we attach ourselves to Christ and work in tandem with Him, He sets the pace and carries the heavy load, turning our labor into true soul rest..Living in the Already / Not Yet: While work in Eden was joy-filled delight, the Fall turned labor into painful toil and sweat. Because Christ inaugurated the Kingdom, we live in perpetual spiritual Sabbath, yet we still inhabit a physical world where phones ping and bodies ache. Practicing a dedicated day of Sabbath serves as our intentional "dress rehearsal" for the New Creation—an act of hope-filled resistance where we stop, rest, delight, and worship.A Restorative Force: As seen in Mark 3 when Jesus heals the shriveled hand, Sabbath is not a static rulebook of prohibitions ("do nothing"), but a force of restoration. True Sabbath sets things right, opposing systems of bondage and extending Kingdom wholeness (shalom) and Jubilee to a broken world.Support the show

Jeff Pratt - “Revealing Righteousness” | This message was from our 10:00 Service on September 13, 2026. To dive deeper into today's sermon, check out our "Beyond the Sermon" episode released every Wednesday.

What makes a sermon truly powerful? Todd reflects on Tim Challies' preaching, explains where he differs with John Mark Comer on spiritual disciplines, and shares an important lesson from Challies about trusting God when suffering doesn't make sense. Segment 1 • What gives a sermon real “oomph”—powerful delivery, great writing, or something more? • Tim Challies shows how a soft-spoken preacher can still deliver a sermon with serious impact. • The goal of preaching isn't impressive oratory—it's to help you see Christ more clearly and love Him more. Segment 2 • Todd compares Go Serve Your King with John Mark Comer's Practicing the Way. Where do their approaches differ? • Should spiritual disciplines produce an integrated Christian life—or should knowing and loving Christ drive those disciplines? • What's the difference between systematic, biblical, and historical theology, and how should theology actually change you? Segment 3 • When someone is suffering, even good theology can be delivered at the wrong time. • Tim Challies shares lessons learned through the devastating loss of his son about grief, comfort, and simply being present. • You may never see the good God brings from your suffering in this life—do you still have reason to trust Him? Segment 4 • Do you constantly wonder, “Am I really saved?” or “Have I repented enough?” • Your feelings aren't a reliable measure of your salvation—so what biblical signs should you look for? • How trusting Christ and leaning on your local church can help break the cycle of constantly questioning your salvation.

In this Growth Spurt, Anthony Alibro explores the idea that we're always in training. Every repeated thought and behavior (worry, avoidance, complaining, or procrastination) can become automatic. The question is: what are you reinforcing every day? Anthony challenges us to audit our routines, identify the habits that cost us most, and intentionally replace them with more productive responses. Because what you repeatedly practice is what you ultimately develop.

Why does Paul end Romans with so many names—and why does he tell believers to greet one another with a holy kiss? In “A Holy Kiss?” Ken continues the Practicing Membership series through Romans 16:1-16. Paul's greetings reveal a church family where people are known by name, differences are not allowed to divide, and love is expressed in tangible ways. The message challenges us to become greater greeters: to notice every person, honor the unity we share in Christ, welcome those who feel like strangers, and communicate genuine worth before worship, during worship, and throughout the week. Join us as we learn why greeting one another is itself an act of worship.

Long ago, after a day that started at 7:00 in the morning and didn't end until 1:30 a.m. the next day, my daughter, Jodie, said, "Mom, it's probably a real blessing that you have the grandkids so much. It gives you lots of material for your writing." LOL We were preparing to teach a room full of sixth graders how to make gingerbread houses out of graham crackers. It took over ten hours of preparation. It was a gift to the kids for a fundraiser they'd put together to help with my granddaughter Maggie's therapy. However, a big project doesn't pause the rest of life. So how do you manage a day filled with children that doesn't end until the next morning and remain calm? Join me as I share what I did. It is doable for anyone!

Sheik Meeajaun: Product Owners Need the Justified No to Protect Customer Value In this episode, we refer to Vasco's Product Owner episodes, where Product Owners share their own lessons from the role. The Great Product Owner: Owning the Product and Practicing the Justified No Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "No, you cannot have this, but this is why." - Sheik Meeajaun   Sheik's model for a great Product Owner came from a mentor he worked with early in his career. That PO owned his slice of the product, delivered consistently, and taught Sheik the power of the "justified no." A strong PO does not simply reject stakeholder requests. They explain the trade-off, ask what should be removed from the sprint, and make business value visible. If a stakeholder wants urgent work, the PO can ask them to get agreement from the person whose work would be displaced. That shifts the conversation from pressure to prioritization. For Sheik, great Product Owners understand that their job is to bring value to the business and delight customers. They care deeply enough about the product to protect it from random requests, HiPPO decisions, and backlog noise. They know success is not only delivery. It is the visible appreciation that comes when people recognize a product decision created real value.   Self-reflection Question: Does your Product Owner have a practical way to say no that protects value without turning every request into conflict? The Bad Product Owner: The Executor Who Cannot Say No Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "A Product Owner's primary job is to bring value." - Sheik Meeajaun   The anti-pattern Sheik warns about is the Product Owner as executor. This PO does not own the product, does not know the customers deeply enough, and does not push back when leadership changes direction. They become a project manager with a backlog, accepting whatever the highest-paid person in the room asks for next. The team then loses coherence, the product loses a clear direction, and the Scrum Master is left helping the team manage the consequences of weak ownership. Sheik is careful not to blame only the individual. Many POs are placed in the role without mentoring, without a clear understanding of product ownership, and without the organizational support to say no. The result is predictable: a mountain of requests, no clear value conversation, and a team delivering work without a strong product story behind it.   Self-reflection Question: Where is your Product Owner being treated as an order taker instead of the person accountable for product value?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Send us Fan MailHi Everyone,Please come join us as we explore "practicing self-kindness. Learn simple ways you can be kinder to yourself and have a positive effect on your mood, outlook, and much more. Enchilada Style!!!

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) The Buddha taught four guidelines for Wise Speech (as a core aspect of ethical practice): truthfulness, helpfulness, care and kindness, and appropriateness (especially good timing). We explore the first guideline, partly in connection with the other three guidelines, in four dimensions of practice. First and most basically, we explore how we practice with truthfulness in our individual practice with others. Secondly, we look at how truthfulness is also a central ethical guideline in our communities, organizations, and societies, making possible trust and safety; yet often this guideline is not followed. Thirdly, we look at our contemporary society in terms of truthfulness and the lack of truthfulness. Fourthly, we ask how we might respond, as part of our ethical practice, to develop more truthfulness in the society: What can help? The talk is followed by discussion.

We’re all being formed by something. The question is: Are the things shaping us making us more like Jesus? In this conversation with Monica Ritchie, author of Fashioned by Faith, we talk about how simple spiritual practices like prayer, fasting, Scripture, rest, and community can deepen our relationship with God. Monica shares practical ways to make these disciplines part of real life, not as another spiritual checklist, but as space for God to transform us. We also talk about social media’s influence, letting go of control, wrestling honestly with God, and learning to trust Him even when we don’t have all the answers.

Instead of allowing our culture or our social media feed to do that work without our awareness, we can intentionally create rhythms that form us into greater Christlikeness. Some of the practices Monica highlights include: Prayer Fasting Scripture Rest Community Lament Mystery, wonder, and wrestling well with God The goal isn’t to do every discipline perfectly or even to do them all at once. The goal is to practice them from a place of knowing we are already loved by God and allow Him to transform us over time. The reminder I love: Spiritual formation is less about a quick fix and more about endurance faithfully turning toward God again and again.

Gulutzan is the Head Coach of the Dallas Stars, and in his second tour of duty with the organization. He's previously been the Head Coach of the Calgary Flames and also spent time as an assistant coach in Vancouver and Edmonton. Overall, he's enjoyed a remarkable career, especially considering that he got his start in coaching as a player assistant with the Fresno Falcons of the now defunct West Coast Hockey League. The focus of the talk was on practice design, but he also offers some amazing stories and lessons he's collected over his career. We brought a white board onto the stage so he could share some drills and tactics in real time with the audience, so we highly recommend heading on over to The Coaches Site so you watch the episode and add the drills to your coaching library. Listen as he shares the importance of starting practice with pace, drills to develop a power play framework, and why the number one goal for youth coaches should be development.

A man in Hebei Province, China learned Falun Dafa in 1998, and his wife also began to practice as well. Here he shares how he immediately experienced a shift in his thinking – from wanting to run from his hardships to understanding the karmic relationship of all that we experience in life, and the peace of mind he came to enjoy as a result of this new approach to life based on the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance.

In this episode of Top Self, Shanenn sits down with physician and author Dr. Frank Spinelli to talk about shame, why it can become so deeply tied to jealousy and insecurity, and how one triggering moment can quickly turn into a spiral.You get triggered. You check the phone, withdraw, accuse, react, or do something you later regret. Then comes the second layer: “Why did I do that?” “What's wrong with me?” “Why am I like this?”That's where shame can take over.Dr. Spinelli explains the difference between guilt and shame, why old wounds can shape the way we interpret what is happening in the present, and how the voice in our head can become the most damaging part of the cycle.He also shares the framework behind his book, The Shame Compass: A Radical Framework for Trauma Healing and Self-Acceptance, and explains why shame may not be something we simply “get over.” Instead, it can become information that helps us understand what is being activated, where it may be coming from, and how we can respond differently.Key Moments• The difference between guilt and shame• Why shame can become a belief about who you are, not just something you did• How past trauma and painful experiences can get replayed in present relationships• Why the voice in your head can become an unreliable narrator• The difference between having a thought and treating that thought as a fact• Why practicing the pause outside of triggering moments can help you respond differently when emotions are high• How shame can turn jealousy into a loop of checking, reacting, judging yourself, and repeating the behavior• Why the most damaging part of the spiral may be what you tell yourself after the trigger• The COMPASS framework and how Dr. Spinelli uses it to help people understand shame• Why acceptance does not mean excusing, minimizing, or pretending something didn't happen• How core values can help you understand when shame is pointing to something that feels out of alignment• The areas where women often experience shame, including body image, motherhood, fertility, sexuality, aging, career ambition, and relationship statusGolden Episode Nuggets

In this episode, Jon and Adam explore why golfers can spend years chasing technical swing changes without actually becoming more skilled or consistent. They discuss why “fewer moving parts” doesn't necessarily lead to better golf, and how constant internal thinking can pull attention away from the decisions and feel required to actually play the game. Adam explains how differential practice—intentionally changing strike location, face direction, trajectory, and other outcomes—can help golfers build the ability to self-correct rather than depend on a single swing feel. They also cover why meaningful improvement often requires exaggeration, experimentation, and learning the right “dose” of a correction instead of endlessly searching for perfect mechanics. The larger message is that technique still matters, but developing adaptable skills gives golfers a better chance to improve, troubleshoot their games, and carry those gains onto the course.

“The ability to handle yourself in interviews and other high-pressure situations can make the difference in getting the job and achieving your goals.”A successful interview is more than answering questions well. It's an opportunity to communicate what sets you apart and demonstrate the value you can bring. Preparation, structure, and storytelling can help you do that with confidence. In this Quick Thinks episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Matt Abrahams and communication teacher Laura Joyce Davis share strategies for preparing for job interviews. From identifying what differentiates you to structuring answers and telling memorable stories, they explain how to present your experience with clarity while staying authentic and human.Takeaways:Preparation makes confidence easier. Identifying what sets you apart and stockpiling stories, examples, and evidence helps you answer questions clearly while staying present in the moment.Structure turns experience into a stronger answer. Frameworks like “What? So what? Now what?” help you connect your skills and experiences directly to what matters to the interviewer.Activity:Build your interview bank. Create a simple bank of three strengths you want an interviewer to remember. Under each, add one story, piece of evidence, or testimonial that proves it. Use the bank to quickly assemble relevant answers rather than memorizing responses to individual questions.Episode Reference Links:Laura Joyce DavisThink Fast Talk Smart Learning CommunityConnect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedIn Chapters:(00:00) - Introduction (00:56) - Preparing for Your Interview (03:37) - Structuring Your Answers (05:02) - The ADD Framework (07:51) - Practicing for the Interview (09:16) - Storytelling That Stands Out (10:39) - Conflict, Beats, and Transformation (14:28) - The One-Minute Story Exercise (15:32) - The Importance of Pre-Work (16:45) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.With Hiring Pro, you can hire with confidence, knowing you're getting the best talent for your needs.

All week we've been talking about playing the long game.Casting votes.Practicing.Progressing.Understanding that the things we do repeatedly eventually become the results we see.Well, today's throwback is that exact philosophy applied to your physical abilities.Push-ups. Pull-ups. Squats. Lunges. Dips. Sit-ups. Planks.Because here's the secret to getting better at bodyweight movements:You practice them.You find the version you can successfully perform today.You master it.You get stronger.You progress it.And then you do it again…and again…and again.There's no magical hack that takes you from zero pull-ups to ten overnight.But there is a path from zero to one.Then one to two.Then two to three.And if you keep collecting those repetitions long enough, one day you look back and realize that something that once felt impossible has become something you can simply… do.And one of my favorite lines from this original episode fits our entire week almost perfectly:“Small behaviors compounded over time will elicit results.”I recorded this episode years ago…and apparently Past me was already setting up Future me for this week's podcast.So today we're throwing it back to Episode 16:How to Get Better at Bodyweight Movements — Push-ups, Pull-ups, Planks, and More.Let's get into it.Resources: Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

Some organizations run at the speed of the crisis in front of them. Others play a long game measured in decades. The Student Press Law Center does both at once, and Gary Green has spent the last year making sure his small but mighty team knows exactly how.Gary is the executive director of the Student Press Law Center, which since 1974 has managed the hotline that a student journalist calls when someone with authority wants a story to go away — and censorship has been the leading reason for those calls ever since. Last year alone, students and their advisers reached out nearly a thousand times, from across 46 states, with calls up more than 42% in two years. Gary will tell you he could hire ten more people and still be redlining, given the increased demand in student press legal services.So he did something that sounds backward in a moment like this one. Last year, he slowed the organization down. Over the better part of a year, SPLC asked students, advisers, board members, and funders what they actually needed, and turned those answers into a three-year strategic plan called To Our Future, built to stay nimble in a landscape no one can predict five years out.The phrase that anchors this conversation isn't in the strategic plan, though. It's one Carrie brings to it: patient urgency. It's what it takes to answer today's hotline crisis while quietly working, state by state, toward student press freedom laws in all fifty — a New Voices movement that, as Gary says, may take another fifty years to finish.Underneath all of it is a promise Gary makes plainly: SPLC turns no one away. Every student journalist, every call. That matters more than ever now that students working through news-academic partnerships filed more than 44,000 local stories last year — in many communities, the only account of the county commission or the school board that exists anywhere. Plenty of those newsrooms have had SPLC's number for decades.This conversation is about everyone else: the newsrooms that have never heard of it, and have no idea there's been someone standing beside them all along.

In this episode, Professor AG talks about the power of slowing down, giving yourself more grace, and creating routines that actually support the season of life you're in. She shares how she shifted away from the “all-or-nothing” mindset and learned that real transformation comes from small, consistent changes instead of constantly pushing herself harder. From nervous system regulation and the importance of repetition to the idea of getting 1% better every day, she shares how tiny shifts can create big changes over time. She reminds you that you don't have to do everything at once. You can choose what matters most in this season and build a life that feels more aligned, grounded, and supportive.Links from this episode-Atomic Habits by James Clear-Facial brush-Sea Moss Gel -Bone broth-Cocoa-The Brick for iPhone-Clinique black honey mascara -If you're interested in hiring a virtual assistant, click the link HERE to book a call with the recruiting company.

Introduction to Mental StrengthDiscussing the importance of mental strength, Shara and Ginger explore Amy Moran's book, "13 Things That Mentally Strong People Don't Do." They emphasize that mental strength is not binary but exists on a spectrum, where anyone can improve their capacity to regulate emotions and behave positively despite circumstances. The first habit of mentally strong people they introduce is that they do not engage in self-pity.Self-Pity TrapMentally strong individuals avoid self-pity, recognizing that indulging in it only prolongs suffering and hinders growth. They acknowledge pain without allowing it to define them, learning to reframe their perspectives and focus on resilience. By fostering hope and understanding their control over their mindset, they can navigate life's challenges more effectively.Circle of ControlThe Circle of Control emphasizes focusing energy on aspects of life that can be managed, such as personal choices and efforts, rather than wasting time on uncontrollable elements like others' opinions or external events. By drawing a Venn diagram to distinguish between what can and cannot be controlled, individuals can better allocate their mental strength and energy. It is vital to recognize when one is worrying about external factors and to consciously redirect focus towards controllable elements.Changing PerspectivesShifting from self-pity to a mindset of learning is crucial; instead of asking, 'Why is this happening to me?' one should consider, 'What can I learn from this?' Incorporating spirituality into this reflection can deepen understanding, as recognizing personal shortcomings may lead to growth and self-control. Practicing gratitude is also emphasized as a vital tool in fostering a positive perspective.Practice GratitudePracticing gratitude is powerful, especially when navigating pain and challenges. Paul emphasizes that in every situation, we should find joy and recognize God's presence, acknowledging that our struggles highlight our need for Him. While we may experience hurt in relationships, focusing on gratitude helps us remain anchored in the present and appreciate the love and blessings around us.Power of WordsThe impact of our word choices significantly shapes our mindset and ultimately our lives. Expressing negative superlatives or consistently engaging in self-pity can alienate others, while adopting a hopeful outlook fosters stronger connections. Using affirming statements, like 'I am hopeful' instead of 'I can't,' empowers us to embrace faith and healing.Conclusion and Next StepsVictor Frankl's wisdom emphasizes that while we cannot always change our circumstances, we have the power to change ourselves and grow from our experiences. The importance of limiting self-pity and focusing on what we can control is highlighted, along with the need to recognize and address our emotions without letting them define us. Ultimately, we must cultivate mental strength by acknowledging our struggles, practicing gratitude, and shifting our mindset to one of hope and purpose.Follow us on IG at MoralSupportPodcast or our personal social media accounts.https://www.facebook.com/ginger.labathttps://www.facebook.com/sharamckee/

You have the mind of your last 1,000 conversations.Now, just like the 1,000 meals idea…I don't mean that literally.There is no neurological accountant sitting inside your skull counting conversations.But the underlying idea?I think it's incredibly important.Your mind has a history.The things you've practiced thinking about.The skills you've practiced.The problems you've practiced solving.The stories you've practiced telling.The language you've used.The conversations you've participated in.The reactions you've repeated.The attention you've repeatedly directed.All of those experiences become part of the person sitting here today.Because just like your muscles adapt to repeated physical demands…your brain adapts to experience.Resources:Brain.fm App (First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/
