Kristine, welcome to Teatime with Miss Liz. Closing: Today's Teatime reminded us that community, friendship, and storytelling leave lasting legacies. Kristine Jensen shared how ordinary moments often carry extraordinary meaning, and how women's voices, memories, and resilience continue shaping generations long after the stories begin. Her work reminds us that connection does not always arrive loudly — sometimes it grows slowly through trust, kindness, and simply showing up for one another. As we leave today's conversation, may we reflect on this: What stories from our own families and communities still deserve to be remembered?

In this episode, I'm joined by author, and mindfulness and compassion teacher Margaret Cullen for a thoughtful conversation on equanimity - the steady, grounded quality that helps us meet life's uncertainty without being swept away by it. Together, we explore her new book Quiet Strength, and what equanimity really means, how it differs from detachment, and why it matters in a world that often pulls us toward reactivity, outrage and overwhelm. Margaret also discusses the Four Immeasurables - loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy and equanimity - and reflects on how each can help us cultivate a more open, balanced and caring way of being. From navigating emotional ups and downs, to caring deeply about injustice without burning out, this conversation offers practical insight into how mindfulness and equanimity can support our wellbeing and strengthen our capacity for compassion. The episode closes with a simple guided practice to help you pause, breathe and reconnect with a sense of calm presence. Margaret's new book Quiet Strength is available through her website and booksellers: https://margaretcullen.com/

Amy Lokken has spent three decades working at the intersection of design, psychology, and spatial intelligence, not as separate disciplines, but as one integrated lens for understanding how people present themselves, occupy space, and either hold or lose ground under pressure. She's an award-winning television host, founder of The Amy Factor, and creator of The Sophisticated Caregiver. What drives the work is what she's lived, not just what she's studied. In this episode, Amy introduces a concept most high-performers have never heard named: self-erosion. Not burnout. Not breakdown. The quiet, consistent bending of the internal standards that once held you steady. What you'll take away: Why values and standards aren't the same thing, and which one actually determines how others experience you What self-erosion looks like in high-performing professionals, and why it's easy to miss Why managing perception has a ceiling, and what replaces it The subtle signals that quietly weaken presence, especially under pressure One standard you can hold this week to feel steadier and more like yourself Connect with Amy: theamyfactor.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amylokken/ Private Counsel: https://theamyfactor.com/amy-factor/ The Sophisticated Caregiver™: https://theamyfactor.com/the-sophisticated-caregiver/ Quiet Strength is Amy's private audio experience for high-performing professionals in heavy or demanding seasons who do not need more noise, advice, or pressure.

What does it mean to have a soft heart - and why do so many of us resist it?In this episode of Quiet Strength: The Power of Heart Postures, we begin exploring the often-misunderstood strength of a soft heart. Many people associate softness with weakness, passivity, or being overly emotional. But true softness is something entirely different.A soft heart is the ability to remain compassionate without losing boundaries, teachable without losing wisdom, and open without losing yourself.Through personal reflection and Enneagram insight, we explore how life's disappointments, criticism, unmet expectations, and hurts can slowly harden our hearts, and how self-awareness can help us stay connected to ourselves and others.In this episode, you'll learn:Why a soft heart is a sign of strength, not weaknessHow disappointment and hurt can create protective patternsThe connection between the Enneagram and self-protectionHow different personality types guard themselves when feeling vulnerableWhy openness and healthy boundaries can coexistHow quiet leaders can lead with warmth, compassion, and authenticityIf you've ever found yourself becoming more guarded, cautious, or disconnected after difficult experiences, this episode offers a gentle invitation to explore what it might look like to soften, not by abandoning wisdom, but by staying open enough to remain connected.Get in and sign up to join our next Quiet Strength Gathering.—

What does it really mean to have a steady heart; and, is it even possible when life feels overwhelming?In this first episode of Quiet Strength: The Power of Heart Postures, we explore a different definition of strength - one that isn't about staying calm all the time, but about learning how to return to steadiness again and again.If you tend to overthink, react quickly, or feel emotionally overwhelmed, this episode will help you understand why... and how to begin finding your way back to a more grounded, present state.Using insights from the Enneagram and the three centers of intelligence (gut, heart, and head), you'll learn how different patterns pull us away from steadiness and how small, simple practices can help you come back.In this episode, you'll discover:Why steadiness isn't the absence of emotion or stressHow reactivity, overwhelm, and overthinking disrupt your sense of calmThe connection between the Enneagram and your natural response patternsA simple, practical way to return to a grounded, steady stateHow quiet leaders can build trust through presence, not pressureThis episode is for thoughtful leaders, reflective individuals, and anyone looking to feel more calm, clear, and grounded in everyday life.Plus, learn about the new Quiet Strength Gathering—a free monthly space to reflect, connect, and grow alongside others on this journey.—

Ep. 229 (Part 2 of 2) | In part 2 of our What is Real Greatness Series podcast with Margaret Cullen, author of Quiet Strength, Margaret continues to enlighten us about equanimity: its power, its wisdom, and its practice. She relates some of the history of equanimity—first considered a supreme virtue in Stoicism, then passed on to Sufism and Judaism—and explains that throughout time, equanimity (and humility) have always been an integral part of people who have made a true difference in the world. Margaret talks about how humor can break the spell of our trance (“when we lose equanimity, we get caught in a trance, believing in something that has us prisoner—humor breaks the spell”), and, in the spirit of “The Serenity Prayer” (“Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference”), she encourages us to make peace with what we can realistically do and let the rest go.While Part 1 of this dialogue focuses on the power of equanimity in relation to the big picture and what is going on now politically, in Part 2 Margaret looks at practicing equanimity in personal relationships and in our individual lives. She marvels at Thoreau's equanimous approach to his own death, and shares that she has found forgiveness to be the most important equanimity tool in relationships. “We reclaim our wisdom when we say ‘I'm sorry,'” Margaret explains. Margaret's deep and nuanced understanding of the power and practice of equanimity is inspiring and illuminating, and bringing this virtue to our attention as a pragmatic tool we can use is also incredibly timely, leaving us with a sense of hope and empowerment.

Most of us were raised with only two options for dealing with difficult emotions: act them out or stuff them down. In this conversation with Margaret Cullen, author of Quiet Strength, we explore a powerful third door — equanimity — and learn how to fully feel our emotions without being hijacked by them.Discover why equanimity isn't about dulling your feelings — it's about deepening them while staying free. We dig into practical cognitive hacks for breaking the cycle of reactivity, the 90-second rule that can transform how you respond to life's hardest moments, and how creating the right conditions can let calm arise naturally rather than being forced. Learn to widen your window of tolerance and connect with reality as it actually is.

Send us Fan MailIn this deeply personal Mother's Day episode, I sat with someone who has shaped my life in every possible way my mother, Ban Altoumah. A clinical biochemist, a mother, and a woman who has lived through the many layers of what it means to give, nurture, and grow, she brings both wisdom and honesty into this conversation.Together, we explore the realities of motherhood beyond the surface. What it means to sacrifice while still trying to hold onto yourself. The pressure of “having it all” and how that definition is different for every woman. The invisible skills and strength that motherhood builds, and the constant effort it takes to stay grounded in a world full of distractions.We speak about balance, identity, faith, and the quiet responsibility mothers carry as they raise the next generation with intention and care. At its core, this episode is a reminder that there is no single formula, only the one each woman creates for herself, shaped by her values, her circumstances, and her heart.This conversation is raw, reflective, and filled with the kind of wisdom that only a mother can give.Tune in to They Say It Takes a Village on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.

Welcome to the Find Your Fierce Podcast, where you will discover your fierce, unlock an unstoppable mindset, build unbreakable courage, and completely transform how you show up every single day. I'm your host, Jill Allen, and I'm so glad you're joining me today. This episode is for you — the leader, the mom, the woman who feels pulled in every direction yet still wants to show up fully. The one who hustles, checks all the boxes, and still wonders if she's missing the moments that matter most. The one who's craving alignment, clarity, and the freedom to lead without feeling frazzled.  In this conversation, I'm talking about leading from rest — not the kind of rest that comes from giving up, but the kind that fuels strength, presence, and purpose. We talk about how quiet strength looks different from the loud hustle culture we're used to — choosing boundaries over busyness, saying no without guilt, and making decisions from clarity rather than urgency. I share personal stories about valuing family over obligation, about how choosing the moments that truly matter has made me a better leader, a calmer parent, and a more present woman. We also dive into practical ways to live this out: creating anchors for your day, moving your body intentionally, showing up fully in relationships, and using a decision filter to align every yes with your values and capacity.  This episode isn't about doing more. It's about stopping what was never meant to be yours, stepping into steadiness over frenzy, and leading with strength, calm, and purpose. If you've ever felt stretched thin or caught between what's expected and what truly matters, this episode is your invitation to lead differently, live aligned, and show up without burning out. Key Takeaway: "If you don't decide your pace, pressure will. And if you don't decide your priorities, everyone else will." - Jill Allen "Hustle keeps you stuck in survival mode. It trains your nervous system to think, okay, calm equals danger or stillness equals laziness or boundaries or selfish." - Jill Allen MORE… But Different: A 7-Day Reset to Lead From Rest, Not Hustle This workbook is your invitation to clear the chaos, quiet the noise, and finally get back to what matters most. To align your days with what God is actually calling you to, not what the world expects from you. To learn how to show up for your life—not from pressure, but from rest. (Yes, that can be done!)

There is an internal strength of mind and heart that is characterized by non-reactivity and clear seeing. It is a strength that holds the power to help us navigate the biggest challenges in our lives —not by ignoring them,not by reacting to them in destructive ways, But rather by being present with, and open to, all the very real struggles of being human without being hijacked by them. In her new book, Quiet Strength: Find Peace, Feel Alive, and Love Boundlessly Through the Power of Equanimity, Revered meditation teacher and licensed psychotherapist Margaret Cullen, Speaks to how how we can grow our capacity for equanimity. For 3 years Margaret took a deep dive into Equanimity. Meeting with leading neuroscientists, psychologists, faith leaders, meditation teachers, and even a politician,All to explore equanimity's promise. Which she writes:"Is expansiveness. An ability to love life in all it's poignancy; To fearlessly let go of self-limiting definitions; and to see in sadness, fear and anger some of the same signs of being ferociously alive we feel in delight connection and awe. Equanimity is our capacity to be tender-hearted without sentimentality, vulnerable without weakness, wise without detachment, humble without diffidence, and to surrender without passivity."Today we'll explore this promise.The very real possibility of meeting life's challenges from a place of grounded wisdom, And growing the quiet strength needed to create a better world. For more on Margaret, her books, teaching, live events, and other offerings please visit margaretcullen.comAnd to preorder your copy of Quiet Strength (coming in March 2026) please visit: https://margaretcullen.com/publications/book/quiet-strengthEnjoying the show?

Two years ago, Beth and I anxiously dropped off our oldest son, Jack, for his first year of college. The school Jack chose- Indiana University- is renowned for its strong business schools, a gorgeous campus, and a long heritage of winning basketball. What it was not known for, however, was its football program. So, it's fair to say our astonishment is real that the most losing program in college football history is chasing its first-ever national championship just 18 months later. And as unlikely as that story is, the story of their quarterback makes it even more remarkable. Let me explain.

This powerful spiritual talk explores the art of never complaining or explaining as a pathway to inner strength, emotional discipline, and conscious living. Learn how silence, calm presence, and intentional action build true confidence, self-mastery, and personal power without the need for validation or defense. Rooted in practical spirituality, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence, this message reveals why restraint, clarity, and grounded awareness outperform emotional reactions and over-explaining.

This special bonus episode features an in-depth conversation with Margaret Cullen, a licensed psychotherapist, longtime meditation teacher, and author of the new book Quiet Strength: Finding Calm, Clarity, and Resilience in a Turbulent World. Margaret has spent more than four decades studying and teaching mindfulness, compassion, and emotional resilience. She was one of the early certified teachers in Jon Kabat-Zinn's Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program and helped develop Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) at Stanford School of Medicine alongside Thupten Jinpa. She is also a fellow of the Mind & Life Institute and an advisor to the Global Compassion Coalition. In this thoughtful conversation, we explore the often-misunderstood quality of equanimity — the capacity to meet life's joys and challenges without becoming overwhelmed, reactive, or emotionally shut down. We discuss: • What equanimity really is (and what it is not) • How equanimity works alongside mindfulness • Why suppressing emotions increases suffering • How emotions move through the body when we don't interfere with them • The role of “feeling tones” in emotional reactivity • Staying emotionally engaged without burnout • Practicing compassion while maintaining boundaries • Finding inner steadiness in an increasingly turbulent world The episode concludes with a gentle guided equanimity meditation, offering listeners a direct, experiential way to cultivate calm, clarity, and emotional balance.

After exposing The Pretty Side of Deception in the last episode, we explore a powerful message from Colossians 3–4 — a passage that shows what happens after the deception is revealed.In this conversation, I share her personal story of leaving karmic astrology and discovering what it really means to die to the old self and be raised in Christ. We uncover how New Age and New Thought movements have hijacked the word “resurrection” to glorify self-power — and why true resurrection isn't a rebrand or “next-level season,” but a holy surrender that leads to quiet, lasting transformation.If you've been in that in-between space — between who you were and who God is forming you to be — this episode will help you find peace in the pause, strength in hiddenness, and beauty that the world can't manufacture.In this episode, you'll discover:The difference between reinvention and resurrectionHow New Age mentors distort the idea of “rising” and “rebirth”Why true transformation requires death to self before new life in ChristHow to let God fill the empty spaces instead of rushing to “manifest” something newWhat it means to be clothed in Christ — compassion, humility, gentleness, and peaceHow to live for Heaven's applause instead of the world's approvalWhen you stop striving to reinvent yourself and allow God to resurrect you, everything changes. The pace slows. The noise quiets. What once felt like loss becomes holy preparation. The Illuminated Woman doesn't chase visibility or validation anymore—she learns to rest in the hidden work of God, trusting that what He resurrects in secret will one day reflect His glory in full light. This episode reveals it all.The Illuminated Connection Call is a free conversation where we talk heart to heart—no pressure, no agenda. I'd love to hear what's on your heart, where you are in your life and spiritual journey, and what you're sensing God may be stirring in you. Whether you're just beginning to question the New Age path, exploring Biblical truth, are already living a God-led life, or simply feeling lost and unsure—this space is for you.
