Let's Think About "The Thriving, Exhilarating Experience of Life" With Special Guest Zac Russell What if truly living isn't about simply getting through life—but about becoming fully alive to the experience of it? On this episode of Mitzi, Let's Think About It, I'm joined by special guest Zac Russell for an inspiring, heartfelt, and thought-provoking conversation about “The Thriving, Exhilarating Experience of Life.” What does it actually mean to thrive? Is it success? Happiness? Adventure? Purpose? Connection? Or is it something deeper—an ability to embrace the highs, navigate the lows, remain curious, and fully participate in the life we're given? Together, Zac and I explore what it means to experience life with greater energy, intention, curiosity, courage, gratitude, and authenticity. We reflect on the difference between simply existing and truly living, and what can happen when we stop waiting for the “perfect” circumstances before allowing ourselves to experience joy and possibility. Life isn't always easy. There are unexpected challenges, disappointments, losses, changes, and moments that test us. Yet within those experiences can also be opportunities for growth, connection, discovery, and transformation. This conversation invites you to pause and consider your own life: Are you simply going through the motions—or are you truly experiencing your life? Whether you're searching for greater purpose, feeling stuck in a routine, navigating a transition, or simply wanting to reconnect with the excitement of being alive, this episode offers encouragement and plenty of meaningful ideas to reflect upon. At Mitzi, Let's Think About It, we believe that if you can think about it, then we can talk about it. My hope is that every conversation reaches both your mind and your heart, inspires reflection, and encourages you to see your life—and your possibilities—in a new way.

Have you ever tried meditation and thought: “Why can't I just stop thinking?”The goal of meditation isn't always to think about nothing. Sometimes meditation is about learning how your mind works.Many people struggle with meditation because they believe they're supposed to completely quiet their thoughts, empty their mind, and become perfectly still.But what if meditation can work differently?In this episode of The Constance Messmer Podcast, I'm exploring how to meditate with an ADHD mind, a busy mind, or a mind that naturally jumps between ideas and awareness.Rather than forcing your brain into stillness, I invite you to discover meditation practices that engage your awareness — including body relaxation, Vipassana meditation, walking meditation, visualization, and focused observation, even if only on the breath.

Hi beautiful soul, it's Jody. So often, the mind pulls us into the past or rushes us into the future. But peace lives here… in this breath, in this moment, in the now. Let's slow down together and come back to what's real. Love,Jody Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dr. Laura offers a reassuring perspective in this solo episode, exploring how to stay grounded when the world and work feel uncertain and overwhelming. Drawing on her experience as a psychologist, she explains how fear can push us into fight, flight, or freeze responses, which ultimately drain energy and disrupt relationships. Dr. Laura brings the focus back to the present moment, encouraging us to reconnect with what's in our control today instead of getting swept up in global uncertainty and negative news cycles.  Dr. Laura shares practical ways to restore calm and clarity through simple yet powerful practices, including the three W's of walk, window, and water, which she learned from her friends at CALM. She urges us to reconnect with activities that recharge our personal energy. The importance of setting boundaries with media and social platforms, while cultivating gratitude and self-awareness in daily life, is part of achieving this recharge. With warmth and insight, Dr. Laura reminds us that even in difficult times, small intentional actions help build resilience, restore perspective, and create a sense of peace. “Staying grounded means what can you control today and this week?” - Dr. Laura About Dr. Laura: Dr. Laura Hambley Lovett is a work and career psychologist and thought leader on the evolution of work.

Reality is not fixed, and your consciousness is beginning to show you why. In this episode, I share a message from higher consciousness on the illusion of limitation and how the rules of this reality may not be what they seem. I also explain what starts to shift as your awareness expands beyond the boundaries you once believed were real.This deeper perspective will help you understand why reality can feel different, unfamiliar, or less solid as your consciousness evolves, and what that actually means for you.

How can you stay present when your brain is screaming with OCD?

Walking from past to future expanding time in the now, with awareness of prior pain and the parts that seek to protect us but can keep us from our truest selves...

Send us a textIn this heart-centered and expansive conversation, I open up about my path of awakening and the work I'm devoted to—supporting deep remembrance, embodiment, and soul-level healing.We explore what it truly means to come home to yourself beyond conditioning, trauma, and inherited identities. I share how healing becomes sustainable when we shift out of the mind and back into the body, into present-moment awareness, where real transformation happens. At the core of this dialogue is remembrance—remembering who you are beneath the layers, and why this is a foundational part of the human experience.This episode is for anyone navigating a spiritual path, moving through personal healing, or feeling the inner call to reconnect with their true essence.If you'd like to be a guest on the Shaman Stories Podcast, reach out here:

In Fishing Without Bait Episode 496 – *Clearing the Etch-A-Sketch: Letting Go of What Isn't Ours, we continue Part 3 of our conversation with returning guest and Clairvoyant *Santina Grace. This episode focuses on healing trauma without rewriting or reliving the past. Through grounding visualizations, breathwork, and recovery-based insights, Santina and the Fishing Without Bait team discuss how emotional experiences can be deconstructed so they no longer control our present moment. Using metaphors like clearing an Etch-A-Sketch or rooting into the earth through mindful breathing, the conversation highlights how releasing emotional energy that doesn't belong to us creates space for clarity, neutrality, and joy. We also explore recovery as a universal human process — because everyone is in recovery from something — and how honoring yourself begins with learning to listen.

Welcome back to the House of Her Podcast. Today, I am getting into the profound journey of understanding emotional regulation and building intimacy with oneself. I bring insights into the often automatic response of our minds to jump into problem-solving mode during moments of dysregulation. In this episode I challenge the notion that true safety comes from future plans and strategies, instead highlighting the importance of being present in the moment and connecting with our nervous system. Through my personal experiences and interactions with clients, I have explored how cultivating present-moment awareness and self-intimacy can transform how we handle challenging emotions. Join us as we discover the power of being here, now, and learn how genuine regulation grows from attention and care in the present moment.Key Takeaways:Importance of collecting data and observing personal responsesImportance of acknowledging the nervous system's present needsMisconception about needing a perfect toolkit for regulationTime Stamps:03:00 - Mind vs Body and Present Awareness06:35 - Embracing Presence and Emotional Regulation09:17 - Presence Over Future WorriesEpisode Quotes"But what's crazy is that while your mind is doing this really cool time traveling future problem solving thing, your nervous system is right here, right now, asking for attention." - Andrea JohnsonEpisode ResourcesThe House of Her Membership: https://andi-ruth-llc.mykajabi.com/offers/A4cMLXjR/checkoutConnect With Me:Instagram: @theandreajohnson

Whenever we feel on edge, frustrated, or exhausted, taking time out for a moment of mindfulness helps us hit the pause button and relax. Incorporating mindfulness and relaxation techniques in our programs can help our learners do the same. Here, we approach mindfulness from a behavioral analytic perspective and walk through how to bring more present-moment awareness into our work with clients.Our thoughts really do have a strong impact on our behaviors, and mindfulness helps create a space between the two. We discuss how to practice acknowledging feelings, how to decide whether or not to act on them, and how to teach this to our students. We also discuss how to use mindfulness when addressing challenging behavior, breathing exercises, body-based practices, and more. What's Inside:How to incorporate mindfulness into our programsHow to create space between thoughts and behaviorMindfulness exercises and practicesMentioned In This Episode:HowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on Instagram ACT Committed Actions Planner
