Podcasts about Preparation

Week 18 Door Opened, Lions Stumbled The NFL weekend handed the Detroit Lions every break. Green Bay got drilled. Chicago lost to San Francisco. A win-and-in shot with the Chicago Bears in Week 18 sat on the table. Detroit did not hold up its end. The Christmas loss to the Minnesota Vikings turned opportunity into regret. The Vikings were a known entity. They crowd the middle. They blitz. They play downhill. Detroit still walked into the trap. The result felt like a coaching loss from prep to whistle. That sting was familiar. The opener against Green Bay carried the same scent. The Detroit Lions Podcast audience heard the frustration. A good team played small in a gotta-have-it moment. NFC Results That Framed It Everything else aligned. The Packers got blown away. Jordan Love was out. Baltimore rolled, and Derrick Henry ran wild. Malik Willis played well before leaving hurt again. Chicago then dropped a high-scoring thriller to the 49ers on Sunday night. The Bears sit high in the NFC mix, pending what the Rams do. Seattle sits at number one. All of it kept a Week 18 showdown in play. Detroit only needed to cash its Christmas ticket. It did not. The 12 Personnel Trap on Offense The offensive plan made it harder. Detroit leaned into 12 personnel and pounded inside. That shrank the field. Linebackers crept up. Safeties walked down. Put Shane Zylstra or Giovanni Ricci in the slot and defenses do not fear the seam. They crowd the box and choke the space where Detroit wanted to live. Spacing matters. You chase linebackers and safeties off with speed and threat. Kalif Raymond changes leverage. Isaac Teslaw does too. Use them to widen the second level and clear seams. Detroit instead condensed everything and invited contact. Inside runs met free hitters. Protection saw extra bodies and late blitzers. The Vikings love that fight. Detroit gave it to them snap after snap. Irrespective of line play, the structure was off. The Lions drew defenders into the very area they targeted. That is backwards. Against an aggressive front, widen, stress, and punish. Detroit did not. Coaching Heat: Campbell and Morton This one lands on the headsets. Dan Campbell as play caller. John Morton as offensive coordinator. Minnesota started Max Brosmer and had backups across the offensive line. Short week for both teams. The Vikings still looked more prepared for what Detroit would do than Detroit was for what Minnesota always does. That is the rub. The worry now is persistence. Keeping Morton in any capacity invites more of the same. Scheme must create its own luck. Preparation must steal downs. The Lions can manufacture it with smarter spacing, better personnel groupings, and quicker answers to pressure. Week 18 still offers meaning. The path narrowed because Detroit gave it away. The fix is not mystical. It is alignment, speed on the field, and a plan that refuses to play to an opponent's strength. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnAcmdsNjlw #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #minnesotavikings #chicagobears #greenbaypackers #sanfrancisco49ers #jordanlove #derrickhenry #malikwillis #12personnel #lateblitzers #spacing Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin speaks with Giovanni Bartolomeo, founder of Elemental Rhythm Breathwork, about how breathwork can support meaningful personal change and deepen integration after psychedelic experiences. Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-336/?ref=278  Gio shares his journey from high-pressure entrepreneurship into a more grounded, heart-led approach to life and business. He reflects on how Elemental Rhythm emerged through years of breathwork practice, somatic exploration, and deep work with plant medicine, eventually evolving into a system that blends breath, music, movement, meditation, and guided inquiry. Together, Paul and Gio explore why accessible practices like breathwork can cultivate real agency rather than dependency, how preparation and integration shape long-term change, and what it means to take responsibility for one's own growth in both spiritual and entrepreneurial contexts. Giovanni Bartolomeo is the founder of Elemental Rhythm Breathwork, where he shares breathwork resources and trains others to facilitate breathwork-based transformational coaching. A lifelong entrepreneur, Gio's own journey through self-discovery led him to create a grounded, embodied approach to personal and professional transformation. Today, he teaches workshops, trainings, and retreats internationally. Highlights: From serial entrepreneur to inner-led leadership Growing beyond inherited belief systems How Elemental Rhythm emerged through plant medicine work Breathwork as a tool for agency and clarity Preparation and integration in psychedelic work Empowerment versus dependency in facilitation Responsibility as a cornerstone of transformation Ethical questions in entrepreneurship and healing spaces Insights from the Microdosing Practitioner Certification beta Daily breathwork and nervous system resilience Episode Links: Elemental Rhythm Breathwork Psychedelic Coaching Institute – Microdosing Practitioner Certification Episode Sponsors: The Microdosing Practitioner Certification at Psychedelic Coaching Institute.

You can have the most mind-blowing healing experience of your life and still find yourself right back in familiar patterns. Why? Because the nervous system defaults to what it knows. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we explore why insight alone does not create lasting change and why the most intense healing experiences do not start in the mind, they start in the body. Co-hosts Elisabeth Kristof, founder of BrainBased.com and the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching Certification, and Jennifer Wallace, Neurosomatic Psychedelic Preparation and Integration Guide, unpack peak somatic experiences through a trauma-informed lens. Together, they examine how experiences like breathwork, somatic practices, and psychedelics interact with neuroplasticity, interoception, and complex trauma. They also name an often-missing piece of the conversation: these experiences are not inherently healing without preparation, capacity, and integration. This episode offers a grounded, nuanced discussion of why peak somatic experiences can be both transformative and destabilizing, especially for nervous systems shaped by chronic stress, dissociation, or developmental trauma. Rather than promoting quick fixes or heroic doses, Elisabeth and Jennifer emphasize nervous system safety, minimum effective dose, and relational support as essential ingredients for real, embodied change.   Timestamps: 00:00 – Why insight alone does not create change 05:40 – What peak somatic experiences are and are not 14:20 – Neuroplasticity, psychedelics, and the default mode network 28:10 – Somatic memory, dissociation, and complex trauma 44:30 – Why preparation and integration matter more than the experience itself 58:45 – Risks, discernment, and trauma-informed support 1:12:30 – Capacity building and minimum effective dose 1:24:00 – Integration, regulation, and long-term nervous system change Key Takeaways: Peak somatic experiences amplify existing nervous system patterns rather than replacing them. Neuroplasticity is neutral and requires direction, support, and integration. Somatic memory often surfaces without narrative recall, especially in complex trauma. Preparation and capacity determine whether an experience is healing or destabilizing. Lasting change happens through consistent, embodied integration, not one-time breakthroughs.

Welcome to Season 5 of The GoodKind Podcast!

They explore the cultural narratives surrounding these months, emphasizing the importance of preparation rather than resolution. The conversation delves into biblical reflections on seasons, the significance of waiting and growth, and practical steps for intentional living that align with the natural rhythms of life. Ultimately, they advocate for a mindset shift towards viewing January and February as a time for reflection and preparation for the renewal that comes with spring.TakeawaysNew Year's resolutions often lead to disappointment and should be reconsidered.January and February are challenging months, often referred to as the 'gray days.'Cultural narratives around the New Year can create unrealistic expectations.Biblical teachings emphasize the importance of waiting and preparation during these months.Growth is often subtle and requires patience, much like the roots of a plant in winter.Intentional living should focus on small, manageable changes rather than grand resolutions.Preparation in January and February can set the stage for a fruitful spring.The concept of 'January starts in February' encourages a more realistic approach to the New Year.Chapters00:00 The Case Against New Year's Resolutions02:41 Understanding the Gray Days of January and February05:28 Cultural Narratives and Seasonal Contextualization08:26 Biblical Reflections on Seasons and Growth11:19 Preparation Over Resolution: A New Approach14:07 Practical Steps for Intentional Living16:56 Looking Forward: Anticipating Spring and RenewalNew Year's resolutions, January, February, gray days, cultural narratives, biblical reflections, preparation, intentional living, spiritual growth, seasonal change

Preparation to the Lesson

God's armor may not always feel comfortable, but it is necessary. It's not a buffet. It's irreducibly complex. Miss one piece and you're vulnerable—like an old VW bus with 12,000 parts and no brake fluid. One small omission can become a big disaster. We tend to trust our strengths too much. Blind spots are real. David, Peter, Abraham, Moses—giants with gaps. The armor is “of God.” That means the source and the standard are God, not me. I traced the cultural shift in authority: ancient (Scripture), modern (science), postmodern (self). We live in the age of “I feel,” where feelings often sit in the driver's seat. But Ephesians assumes an ancient posture: God speaks; Scripture is authority; I submit my emotions, not the other way around. With God's armor, we CAN withstand. Not easily, but truly (1 Corinthians 10:13; Romans 6). We celebrate forgiveness—and we should—but we should also celebrate that we are no longer slaves to sin. New covenant hearts want God. We get deceived when we trade deep joy for cheap thrills. Cheap is available. Deep takes patience and wisdom. Porn promises intensity and leaves people empty, ashamed, and alone. Shallow “community” at the bar gives the feeling of companionship without the truth that transforms us. Buying kids off with stuff substitutes for the hard and beautiful work of forming souls. When tempted, pause and ask, “What do I most want in ten years?” Pray. Phone a friend. Choose the long game. Then there's “the evil day.” Not Revelation horses. The personal season when the waves don't stop. Some in Scripture fell on their evil day; others stood—Joseph, Daniel, Shadrach/Meshach/Abednego, Paul, and Jesus. We come to the Table to be strengthened, so when that day comes, we can stand.

Preparation isn't just about knowing what's coming—it's about positioning yourself ahead of time and cutting away what's unnecessary. In this prophetic and practical episode, C.T. Johnson breaks down the true meaning of being pre-pared: combining foresight with refinement. Learn what it means to anticipate, pare down distractions, and align with your God-ordained assignment before the demands of 2026 arrive.This episode is your wake-up call to stop reacting and start preparing—strategically, spiritually, and intentionally.CONNECT WITH CT JOHNSON

TOPIC: PROVOKING FEARFUL FAVOUR FOR A GLORIOUS FUTURE PREACHER: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Genesis 1:1 Judges 6:12, 17 Genesis 13:1–2 Malachi 1:9 Philemon 1:6 Proverbs 3:4 Proverbs 13:15 KEY POINTS 1. Preparation Is the Mother of Success Nothing happens by accident in the Kingdom of God. Preparation positions a person for favor. 2. Understanding Favor Favor beautifies life and gives it meaning. Favor is the spice of life — it adds value and attractiveness. The strength of men cannot bring lasting victory; favor does. When a man is favored, his life becomes constructed, not scattered.

If you've been hearing more about psychedelic therapy and wondering whether it's a genuine breakthrough for healing—or just the latest mental health trend—you're not alone. Many people feel curious, hopeful, and skeptical all at once. This conversation is meant to help you slow down, understand what the research actually shows, and think clearly about whether this path is right for you. In this episode of Love, Happiness and Success, I'm joined by psychiatrist and MDMA-assisted psychotherapist Dr. Scott Shannon, founder of Wholeness Center, the largest integrative mental health center in the U.S. Together, we talk about how psychedelic therapy works differently from conventional psychiatric treatment, why it can help disrupt rigid trauma patterns in the brain, and what researchers are learning about long-term healing—not just short-term symptom relief. We also spend time on the parts of this conversation that matter just as much: the risks, the ethical boundaries, and the importance of preparation, professional support, and integration. Psychedelic therapy isn't appropriate for everyone, and it isn't something to pursue casually or without careful guidance. This episode offers a grounded, responsible look at how people can think critically about safety, readiness, and what to look for in a qualified provider. As you listen, I invite you to reflect on a few questions: What kind of healing are you actually looking for? What does feeling “better” really mean to you? And how do you decide which growth paths deserve your trust, time, and care? Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Psychedelic therapy explained: promise, research, and real risks 02:31 Why psychedelic therapy differs from traditional psychiatric medication 04:55 Trauma, brain patterns, and how psychedelic therapy disrupts stuck loops 07:00 MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD and why healing can continue long after treatment 12:21 A paradigm shift in mental health: supporting the brain's capacity to heal 19:30 What MDMA actually does in therapy: safety, self-compassion, and trauma processing 25:47 Mystical experience, meaning, and the spiritual dimension of psychedelic therapy 30:09 Ethical concerns, safety risks, and how to evaluate psychedelic therapy providers 38:00 Preparation and integration: why psychedelic therapy is more than the experience itself If this conversation leaves you thinking about your own healing or growth, I want to be clear that Growing Self does not offer psychedelic therapy. What we do offer is thoughtful, evidence-based therapy and coaching for people who want to grow with intention and care. If you'd like, I'd love to help you think through what kind of support would actually be most helpful for you. I've created a simple, private way to do that. By answering just a few quick questions, we can help match you with the right therapist or coach for a complimentary consultation—someone who understands what you're navigating and where you'd like to go next. Schedule a free consultation today. Consider it a small gift from me, and a gentle next step if you're ready for one. xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie BobbyGrowing Self

I feel Looking for Work Is Hard Work. One of the biggest misunderstandings about unemployment or career change is the idea that looking for work is something you do casually, or in between other things. A few clicks here, a few applications there, maybe scrolling on some job boards late at night from the couch. And then the frustration sets in when the phone doesn't start ringing.  The truth is simple, and sometimes uncomfortable to hear but looking for work is hard work. And I think if we don't treat it like a job, it rarely is going to produce job level results.  We need to remember that finding work requires structure, discipline, preparation, and accountability, just like any role on the warehouse floor, in operations, or in leadership. The people who land jobs consistently aren't lucky. They're intentional. They are working a plan.  I'm Marty and today on Warehouse and Operations as a Career I wanted to expand on how hard looking for a job is. We spoke on a few of the topics back in week 37, what was that title, oh, week 37 & Jobs, and I mentioned the phrase on last weeks show. I received a couple of questions on it so I thought we'd spend a few minutes on it today.    I always say treat the job search like our present job. If you were scheduled to work a shift, you wouldn't roll out of bed whenever you felt like it. You wouldn't decide halfway through the day whether you felt motivated enough to show up. You'd get up, get ready, and get started. Our job search deserves the same respect! We still need set our alarm. Start our day with purpose and block out time or schedule what hours we're going to spend specifically for job searching.  That means planning for things like reviewing the online job boards, checking local classified ads, monitoring all your local Facebook job groups, following company career pages, and planning time to make phone calls, sending out follow-ups, and networking.  This isn't something you squeeze in when you have time. This is our work. I mentioned job boards, I see too many people rely on a single job board and assume that's enough, and its not! We need to check those things multiple times a day or throughout our scheduled hours for the day. Oh, and it's proven that our friends are an excellent resource. They have jobs and they can share the good and the bad about them. Maybe we can even get a referral from them. We'll want to be careful there though, in our industry, sometimes hiring relatives or friends are frowned on. But I've always found them to be a great resource.   Ok, where was I, I think I skipped a few bullet points there, oh, and I wanted to say you'd be surprised how many job openings never make it to the job boards and are hired through word of mouth.  I think we have to network like our career depends on it.  Just let people know what kind of work you're looking for and what experience we bring to the table.  We need to mention what shift or role we're open to and when we're available. I've found a short, honest conversation can open doors faster than 100 online applications.  Next is our resume, your resume must match the job you want. And please remember a resume isn't a life story. It's more of sales document. Its sole job is to clearly show what you can do, where you've done it, and how that experience matches the job you're applying for. If you're applying for a forklift position, your resume should highlight equipment types, years of experience, and the different environments you've worked in, things like narrow aisle, the outside yards, ramps, coolers or freezers, those types of things. And keywords like safety training and any certifications we've had and productivity expectations we've worked with. If you're applying for leadership role, it should mention your team oversight and training responsibilities, any metrics you managed and the accountability you were held to. One generic resume for every job rarely works. Tailor it to the position you're applying for.   And please only apply for jobs you can actually succeed at. This is one of the most important, and most ignored points. One-click apply buttons have created bad habits. Clicking apply on dozens of jobs you aren't qualified for doesn't increase your chances. It actually hurts them. It wastes your time, and the recruiter or the hiring manager's time.  Remember recruiters are reviewing hundreds of resumes. When they see applicants who clearly don't meet basic requirements, it creates frustration, and it lowers the quality of the process for everyone. Our resume may end up in a discard pile just because we have no experiences for that position. Even if we'd be a great fit for something else they have open.   Apply for jobs where you meet the basic core qualifications, where you have experience in the position and you can realistically perform the work. In our light industrial world quality beats quantity every time.  Another biggie, be honest with recruiters. Recruiters aren't the enemy. Think of them as the gatekeepers. We should be honest about our experience, our availability, our  transportation, our work history, and very important, what you want, and what you don't want. Overselling yourself may get you a phone call, but it rarely gets you called in for the face to face or hired long-term. Worse, it can damage our reputation with a company or an agency.  And if you schedule an appointment, show up. Nothing ends a job opportunity faster than a no-show interview. If something comes up, communicate. Life happens. But our silence looks like irresponsibility.  I won't harp too much on this one, I get several emails every time I bring it up, but clean up your social media, they can and will look. This part surprises people, but it shouldn't. Social media is public, and right or wrong, opinions can be formed from it. Recruiters and hiring managers often check social media. Not to judge your personal life, but to look for red flags. At least ask yourself. Is my profile public? And by the way locked profile may be considered a red flag. What would an employer see in 10 seconds? Do my posts reflect maturity and professionalism? Offensive language, threats, constant negativity, or posts bragging about skipping work don't help your case. You don't need to erase who you are, just be smart about what you display publicly. Ok, enough on that!  Moving on, lets be ready for the phone interview. And this is important. The phone interview is not casual. It's often the most important 5 minutes of the entire process. You may have only 30 seconds to make an impression. By the time the recruiter calls they've reviewed dozens, maybe hundreds of resumes. They're deciding quickly who moves forward.  Now this is going to be a cold call. If we are busy, watching the children, or outside, or maybe driving, we can share that, and ask if we could give them a call back at so and so time. They do not mind that. They want us focused, and ready to speak with them. We need to be ready when they call or we call them back. That means have your resume in front of you, be in a quiet place, be focused, answer clearly and confidently. Be ready know how to explain our experience, why we're a good fit, and what we're looking for or why we answered this ad. Preparation matters. This is our one shot at getting that face to face interview.  When you walk into that interview, you're already being evaluated, before you say a word. Remember to dress for the role. If the position requires steel-toe footwear wear them, dress in warehouse attire, look ready, and talk about PPE awareness, show and state what you know. You don't need to overdress, but you do need to show you understand the environment and are prepared to work in it. It sends a clear message, I'm ready to go to work today.  Now if we like the job and are offered it, when we say yes or accept it, show up. There is nothing wrong with saying this position isn't going to be for me. We shouldn't shake our head yes if inside we know we're saying no. Of course, things may come up, and all we have to do is communicate that. Don't burn bridges. If another place has called us and we're accepting that job, just call and let the hiring agent know.   Like I mentioned earlier, discipline wins the job search. Looking for work can be exhausting. It's easy to get discouraged, especially after rejections or silence. But the people who succeed are the ones who stay the course, and stay disciplined.  They treat the search like a job, stay organized, follow up, show up, prepare, and are confident.  All that makes it sound easy, it's not, but it will happen. I've always felt that a job search isn't about luck, It's about effort and consistency.  If you're serious about finding work, treat the process with the same seriousness you would expect from an employer. Show up for it, prepare for it, and respect it. Because looking for work is hard work, and when you do it right, it leads to something even harder, and much more rewarding.  A career.  Well, there's a bit on the subject. If you know of anyone seeking employment, please recommend the episode to them, and as always please feel free to send us a message with any thoughts or comments. We love getting questions and topics from the group. On top of all that, please be safe out there, our loved ones need us happy and well this time of year and always.
