Sarah Schalow has a lot to share with you in today's special episode! So grab your favorite coffee or tea and settle in for a heartfelt look back at this year's journey with The Stories Collective, including a personal update from Sarah and a glimpse into the future of the podcast.The episode opens with a reflection on the 17 powerful stories shared over the past five months, each one a beautiful testimony of God's faithfulness. One especially moving moment came when a recent guest revealed how listening to the podcast led to real, life-changing transformation. It's been an incredible season.Earlier this year, The Stories Collective took its first break in three years. In this episode, Sarah opens up about the reasons behind that pause and how it connects to what's ahead. In the final 10 minutes, she reflects on how the podcast has grown over the past three years and the impact it's had, noting that roughly 10% of the church has now shared their story. That's a staggering picture of God's work among us, and there's still so much more to be told.While there are no plans to end The Stories Collective, the podcast will be going on an indefinite hiatus following this episode. It's not goodbye—just a pause—as Sarah steps into a new season of life, which she shares more about in the episode

And remember, live from the inside out.

In today's episode, we are joined by my naturopathic oncologist, Dr. Laura James. As you listen to our discussion, it's essential to acknowledge the whirlwind that accompanies a cancer diagnosis. For many, including myself, the speed at which treatment unfolds can be both a blessing and a challenge. The urgency of medical intervention, coupled with the support of excellent health insurance and the unique circumstances of the COVID-19 era, can lead to a swift entry into what is commonly referred to as the breast cancer industrial complex. But what exactly does this term mean? It's a new concept that encompasses medical advancements, institutional processes, and societal expectations surrounding cancer treatment. While grateful for the prompt attention and care received, there's an underlying need to address the implications of this fast-paced medical industry. For me, and perhaps for many others, navigating the breast cancer industrial complex has raised questions about agency, reflection, and informed decision-making. The speed at which decisions are made can sometimes overshadow the opportunity for thorough consideration, prayer, and seeking second opinions—elements crucial to holistic well-being. Together with Dr. James, we'll explore the importance of empowerment in the face of medical urgency, the role of advocacy in navigating treatment pathways, and the significance of holistic approaches to cancer care. ______ Air Dr. I've been using the Air Doctor air purifier for almost a year and absolutely love it! I first heard about it from Dr. Mark Hyman, and even though it was a bit of a splurge compared to what I usually spend, I'm so glad I invested. Every time I change the filter and see all the gunk it collects, I smile, knowing it's doing a great job keeping my air clean! And I'm so happy that all that gunk isn't going into my body ; Click here to purchase: https://airdoctorpro.com/?oid=17&affid=6165 ______ Just Add Buoy Companies contact me every week, asking me to try their products. Honestly, I get food and supplement samples almost weekly! Last week, a San Diego company called Just Add Buoy emailed me to ask if I wanted to try their electrolyte formula. I said yes because I've been looking for an electrolyte formula (without tons of sugar, both fake and real and no dyes) for years.   They sent me some samples, and I must tell you how much I love them. I'm trying the Hydration Drops, and they have 87 trace minerals, Ionic ocean electrolytes, and antioxidants. And, also important to me, NO SUGAR (FAKE OR REAL), NO ADDITIVES OR DYES. And it's non-GMO. I like that it's flavorless, and I can add it to a smoothie or even my morning coffee without noticing any flavor change.

Ned is hitting pause on the podcast—not because he's stepping away, but because he's stepping in. In this special episode, he shares why he's taking a short break to recalibrate, refocus, and make sure his best creative energy is first poured into his wife and kids.

In this episode of the Lens on Fitness podcast, I'm sharing a big decision I've made—after 248 episodes, I'm hitting pause on the podcast for a little while. I talk about the strength that comes from stepping back and focusing on what really matters. We all juggle a lot, and sometimes, the best thing we can do is make space for what needs our attention the most. I'll explain why I'm making this decision and why it's time to put my focus into growing my Train Like an Athlete Fitness apparel brand. It's not goodbye—just a “see you later.” I hope this encourages you to take a step back when you need it, too.

I was SHOCKED to hear that when I buy frozen fish, it's frozen TWICE. It's usually frozen right after being caught, defrosted, processed, and then frozen again. I buy a lot of frozen fish; sometimes, the taste and texture can be inconsistent. Now that I have a better understanding of the processing of the fish before it hits my plate, it makes me wonder about quality. I called a friend who works at ButcherBox and asked her about the process with their salmon. She assured me that BB only freezes the fish ONCE! Which helps preserve the nutrients and taste. The big one for me is texture. When I eat fish, I want a firm texture, not rubbery! After getting over my shock (yes, fooled again by the food corporations) I asked my BB friend if I could pretty-please offer free salmon to my community. She said yes, so if you use the code 'enos', you can get free salmon (2 pounds) free for a year and $20 off of your first box. https://www.butcherbox.com/enos   This podcast is for informational purposes only and none of the information should be construed as medical advice.

What's Good Dimah Fam! So, picture this: you're juggling work, maybe squeezing in a bit of exercise, and then diving straight into your hobbies. It's like you're on this never-ending treadmill, right? But here's a thought – ever considered the magic of just pressing pause? Not the kind of pause where you plop down and binge-watch shows all day (though, no judgment here, we've all been there). I'm talking about something... different. Something that genuinely lights you up inside and gives you that breath of fresh air, away from the usual hustle. Think about it. When was the last time you did something just for the sheer joy of it? Not because you had to, but because it made your soul do a little happy dance? It's easy to forget that our brains aren't designed to be on 24/7. They need that downtime, that moment to reboot, to wander through the fields of imagination and curiosity without a care in the world. It's in these moments, these delightful little pauses, that we find a part of ourselves we've been too busy to notice. And here's the kicker – when you allow yourself this space, this freedom to just be, you're not just taking a break. You're feeding your soul, nurturing your inner child, and guess what? You come back to your daily grind with this newfound energy, this lightness that makes all those tasks, even the hobbies that were starting to feel a bit like obligations, feel fresh and exciting again. So, I say, let's make a pact. Let's promise to give ourselves the gift of time – time to explore, to rest, to simply exist without a to-do list. Who knows what wonders lie in those quiet moments of soul-feeding joy? Trust me, your mind, your body, and your spirit will thank you for it. Let's not wait for a sign or the perfect moment. The time is now, to rediscover the joy in the little things, to reconnect with ourselves and the world around us in the most genuine, fulfilling way possible. Thanks for listening!

Jenny Tough is a woman who hardly needs an introduction. A quick Google search will pull up a laundry list of accomplishments in the outdoors — from winning the Silk Road Mountain Race (twice!), to running across a mountain range on six continents, to publishing two books. While each of these accomplishments is exceptional in its own right, Jenny remains humble, honest and dedicated to making space for other women in the outdoors.Our conversation is wide reaching; from her first bike trip to the Yukon where she carried handwritten notes to help her fix mechanicals, to becoming one of the most prolific women in bikepack racing, to putting her career on pause for two years to heal her eating disorder. While we do spend some time on serious topics, we had so much fun in this conversation and are grateful for Jenny's humour and sharing so candidly. Warning: We discuss disordered eating and exercise dependency from approximately 1:00:00 to 1:18:00, so please skip this section if you need.You can stay up to date on Jenny's adventure on Instagram and read more of her writing on her Substack.

And I want to take a moment to let you know that I am putting the podcast on hold, as I've had some health issues surfacing that I need to tend to.In other seasons of my life, I would have overrun my body's need for rest and kept working on this project to the detriment of the podcast and my health. But at this time, I'm coming to terms with the fact that the best thing I can do is pause until I have the energy to bring it back.Creating this podcast and sharing it with you over these last eight months has been a dream come true. Thank you for taking the time to tune in, for sharing your favorite episodes with your friends, and for allowing these conversations to open your hearts and expand your notion of what might be possible for all of us.If you would like to stay in touch while the podcast is on pause, please join me over on The Deeper Call's Substack. With gratitude, Ashley. ..✨ The Deeper Call Podcast is currently on pause. Join me on Substack to continue our conversations. ✨

Pressing Pause Pro 19:2 #RTTBROS  #Nightlight  H.A.L.T.: Pressing Pause Before Pushing Forward  (Proverbs 19:2) "He that hasteth with his feet sinneth: but he that deliberates is wise." Life's decisions, big and small, demand our attention and discernment. Yet, amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, we often rush into choices without considering the impact of our emotional state. The wise words of Proverbs 19:2 serve as a timely reminder: "He that hasteth with his feet sinneth: but he that deliberates is wise." So, before hitting "confirm," let's consider the "HALT" principle: H is for Hungry: Remember Esau, who bartered his birthright for a mere bowl of stew? Hunger clouds judgment, tempting us to prioritize immediate satisfaction over long-term consequences. When faced with crucial choices, ensure your physical needs are met. A clear head makes for wiser decisions. A is for Angry: Moses, the revered leader, struck the rock in anger, denying him entry into the promised land. Anger distorts our perspective, fueling impulsive reactions and rash choices. Before making important decisions, take a deep breath, count to ten, or seek a calming activity. A clear heart leads to clearer choices. L is for Lonely: Loneliness can be a deafening echo chamber, leading to desperate choices just to fill the void. Remember people you know who married  hastily due to loneliness, only to suffer the consequences later. Prioritize genuine connections and healthy relationships before seeking solace in rushed decisions. If you become unequally yoked with an unbeliever it will cost you in the long run. A clear soul seeks connection, not escape. T is for Tired: Elijah, the prophet, exhausted and despondent, fled from Jezebel. Fatigue clouds judgment and hinders our ability to think clearly. When faced with important decisions, ensure you are well-rested. A clear mind makes for sound choices. Taking a moment to "HALT" before pressing forward can make all the difference. By recognizing our emotional state and addressing underlying needs, we approach decisions with clarity, wisdom, and a greater chance of making choices that align with our true values and long-term goals. Remember, a well-timed pause can lead to a well-chosen path.

As Winter rolls around, life usually slows down too: more time indoors, less time at work, and more time to ourselves. For our final episode of 2023, Mory and Melissa talk about how the season is a chance to spend more time looking inward. The intensity of our internal emotions makes it easy - necessary even - to distract ourselves with the external world. It can be nearly impossible to reflect inward when we feel like we're always on the clock, as though every moment has to be productive in order to be good. Whether we like it or not, this repression is unsustainable. Mother Nature offers an opportunity to reflect, realign, and listen to our inner wisdoms as the business of life finally slows down in the winter months. Tune in to hear more about how you can take a pause without making it productive, why community is left out of the conversation, and what we've got planned for 2024!

We all have a period in life where we need to press pause.

Noah, Jim, and Charlie discuss Media Matters' spat with X, the pause in fighting in Gaza, and the latest bad polling for Joe Biden

Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon is everything an Oscar contender might be - long, epic, morally complicated and expensive. Yet, while many movie-goers left theaters moved, others called the film a problematic disaster. Today on the show, we hear what the movie got wrong and how it fits into a broader history of Native Americans on screen. To unpack this, Brittany Luse is joined by Robert Warrior, a literature and professor and an Osage Nation citizen, Liza Black, a Native American and Indigenous Studies professor and Cherokee Nation citizen, and Nancy Marie Mithlo, a gender studies professor and Fort Sill Chiricahua Warm Springs Apache citizen.

In today's fast-paced world, “pause, rest, be” are three simple words that many of us (especially parents!) often overlook. Society doesn't give us any accolades for taking time out to rest, but as people's schedules get busier, our presence and connectedness as humans gets weaker.   Joining me today to normalize and demystify the practice of rest, is Octavia Raheem, an award-winning author, rest coach, and restorative yoga teacher. Octavia invites us into practices that enhance presence, groundedness, and a better sense of wellbeing– all of the things that we need and desire, yet are not reflected in our day-to-day living and calendar. We also explore how we can instill this practice into our children, without feeling like we're limiting their opportunities.    References:   Connect with Octavia:   Visit her website Follow her on Instagram Connect with Octavia on LinkedIn   Learn more about Devoted to Rest™, a transformational rest focused experience for visionary women leaders making a high impact in their fields   Octavia's books:   “Gather” “Pause, Rest, Be”   You can follow Brandi and her work @deardouapodcast on IG, @brandi_jordan_official IG, and send questions, comments and platitudes to brandi@deardoulapodcast.com.

Recording restful, affirming, and restorative messages for you and your children can help to wind down.   13:59 - People are very overscheduled but embracing blank space can yield a lot of creativity.   16:36 - For people who didn't have access to lots of activities growing up, it can lead to overcompensating and putting our kids in things to make up for what we didn't get.    22:12 - Octavia and Brandi share their personal stories of times they have been overly productive to feel worthy and how they were able to catch this and build in rest and space.   27:46 - Brandi asks Octavia how she handles people who feel like they understand they need to rest but think that they don't have time. 34:07 - Octavia invites us into a one minute pause to help us embody the practice of pausing so that we can start to find that drop of peace for ourselves in our everyday lives.

Beyond the Algorithm: Navigating the Mental Health Aspect of Social Media Marketing Meg Casebolt, author of 'Social Slowdown' joins me to discuss the pressures faced by creators and consumers alike. FOMO The constant need to stay ahead of trends and conform to the algorithm, combined with the distractions and interruptions of social media notifications, can take a toll on focus and productivity. We also explore the addictive nature of social media, the craving for dopamine and novelty experiences, and the surface-level conversations it often promotes. Real Conversations In contrast, our love for podcasts stems from their ability to foster deeper conversations, exploration of various topics, and more nuanced perspectives. We feature real stories from content creators and business owners who have reevaluated their social media strategies, discuss the pitfalls of focusing solely on vanity metrics, and the importance of aligning your business model with your desired content and audience behavior. It is OK to press pause? Join us as we navigate the ever-changing landscape of social media, question its effectiveness in achieving specific goals, and explore alternative strategies for reaching your target audience.

“Pausing and intention are key to self-fulfillment.” - Kim Newton  Did you know 36% of women aren't following their dreams? Kim Newton was one of them several years ago, and it took some monumental people (and moments) to help her realize there was so much more to life. In today's episode, Dr. Michelle Robin invites Kim to unfold what was going on inside her heart when she began to sense a change was needed. Her story is both inspiring and action-oriented, meaning it wasn't the inspiration that took her forward but the people around her that made her take steps toward a life full of happiness, abundance, and fulfillment. The decision to “disrupt her life” and take time to pause was exactly what she needed to quiet her head talk, and tune into her heart. Kim will help you think about what your truest “joy” is inside your own heart. She will ask some emotionally-charged questions for you to reflect on, but also share how her passion was something that had actually been part of her for a majority of life already – but it took some rekindling to find it. This episode is sure to linger in your heart long after it's over.  About Today's Guest:  Kim Newton is passionate about leadership and innovation. She's an exceptional developer of people and has advised hundreds of leaders personally and professionally. She has a unique right-brain/left-brain approach to helping people and companies meet their fullest potential. Kim is a seasoned global marketing executive, board director, advisor, artist, and entrepreneur. During her two decades at Hallmark, she directly influenced global corporate strategy and led transformation across a $4B diversified portfolio of top brands. She has been recognized multiple times as a top African America in corporate America. Kim has always left a space for creation of her own heart, a modern approach to quilting. Kim's quilts have been called “unique and inspiring contemporary fiber art that tells a story and ignites the spirit.” In 2019, after leaving corporate America, Kim sold her first piece that now hangs on the wall of Oprah Winfrey. Since that time, she has embraced and loves nurturing her artist self. As the founder of Alexis Enterprises, LLC, Kim brings to life all of her passions, including an art studio focused on her one-of-a-kind quilts. She also created and designed the Intentional Pause Project, which helps others embrace the journey she went on herself. The workbook helps people discover the powerful reason pausing can help them move forward to achieve their dreams.   Mentioned in the Episode:  Kim Alexis Newton's quilt website Kim's Intentional Pause workbook by Kim Kim's Intentional Pause Project
