Episode #167: Picture this: Michal Rouse and I, in the midst of major life changes, laughing through the chaos of building our businesses from the ground up. McCall's journey from a cozy home-based Pilates studio to a vibrant new space in Calabasas was nothing short of an adventure, filled with unexpected house sales, rapid relocations, and all the joys and hurdles of setting up a new studio. We share how the camaraderie between us, manifested in choosing paint colors and battling contractors, turned challenges into cherished memories, showcasing the power of friendship and persistence in bringing dreams to life. What happens when you're banned from a Pilates studio for being too good? I turned that unexpected twist into fuel to expand my own home studio into a bustling business with over 200 clients. Together, Michal and I emphasize the importance of community over competition in the Pilates world, revealing how rigorous training and mutual encouragement empower us and other women to transition from stay-at-home moms to successful entrepreneurs. It's a journey of resilience, determination, and the unyielding spirit that drives us to support one another. Relationships, whether personal or professional, thrive on authenticity and reciprocity. In this lively discussion, we reflect on the power of genuine connections that align with our core values, touching on the joys of friendship and the challenges of raising twice-exceptional children. Between anecdotes and heartfelt insights, we share the simple pleasures of life, like enjoying a $35 smoothie at Erewhon Calabasas, while juggling the everyday hustle. It's all about finding balance, celebrating successes, and cherishing the bonds that lift us higher, inviting you to join us on this journey of laughter, growth, and community.

Every buying decision is influenced by more than facts or price. Two psychological principles (Reciprocity and Consistency) play a massive role in how comfortable customers feel saying “yes.” In this episode of Windshield Time, Chris Elmore and James Walker break down these two science-backed influence skills and show you how they apply to every in-home service call: 1) Reciprocity: Why small, genuine gestures make people feel good about returning the favor 2) Consistency: How asking the right questions early makes customers want to stay aligned with what they've already said You'll also learn: -How to create a trust-first atmosphere where customers feel safe making a decision -Real-world service call examples showing reciprocity and consistency in action -Why understanding human behavior makes every conversation smoother, easier, and more natural -This isn't about manipulation—it's about communicating in a way that feels honest, helpful, and human.

In this trial run for the “GrowthBusters Book Club,” we discuss The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World - by Robin Wall Kimmerer. Cannibal economies, gift economies, reciprocity, and doughnut economics all come up. Sally Gillespie in her Substack column, Psyche's Nest wrote this about Kimmerer's book: “As disruptions and destructions reach our communities in all manner of ways, acts of kindness and generosity are already challenging modernity's stories of ‘never enough' and ‘you're on your own'. Often led by those on the margins, we are remembering how to pool resources and gather for action and care as we tend to losses, connections, breakthroughs, emergencies and emergence. It seems to me that no one word is sufficient to describe this devolving and evolving process we are now in. What we need more than a word or a phrase are stories bearing ancient roots and seeds of possibility for the future.” We also talk briefly about President Trump's “big, beautiful bill” beautifully illustrating how policymakers – cheered on by Jeff Bezos – frequently rely on the crutch of economic growth rather than a sharp pencil in balancing the budget. The increased tax revenue never ends up covering costs – because costs skyrocket, too, in a growing economy. The hard budget-balancing work is looking at the detail, doing the math, ferreting out REAL waste, and setting and following priorities. Interestingly, Robin Wall Kimmerer wrote about this phenomenon: “An economy based on the impossibility of ever-expanding growth leads us into nightmare scenarios. I cringe when I hear economic reports celebrating the accelerating pace of economic growth, as if that were a good thing. It might be good for the Darrens, for the short term, but it is a dead end for others – it is an engine of extinction.” Also, a note about how “record Memorial Day travel” also means record carbon emissions.

Hello to you, Mary D., listening in Coupeville, Washington!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.A longtime podcast listener and Substack subscriber suggested I read The Serviceberry - Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World by Robin Wall Kimmerer. The author invites us to consider the gift of reciprocity between Nature and ourselves, ourselves and the rest of Creation. Neither the size of the gift nor the nature of the gift is what matters but the spirit of giving. I have a splendid pie cherry tree in my yard which could be picked to make splendid cherry pies; but this tree I leave for the birds, squirrels and deer.Recently, my friend and neighbor celebrated her 85th birthday. I know I could have bought her some delicious, made-fresh-daily scones from Jupiter Coffee; but I know she favors a loaf of bread studded with raisins and caraway seed, bound together with full fat buttermilk and other ingredients that we call Spotted Dick Dog Bread. To her gift I added a small jar of cherry preserves I received in trade from another elderly neighbor who was canning the fruitful gift of the Rainier Cherry tree in his front yard.We did things like this during the COIVD epidemic. Remember? In many ways we're right back in an epidemic; but the dangers are not germs so much as they are anxiety, confusion, bewilderment, loneliness, and exhaustion. We wonder who to trust, who or what will be taken away, what will happen during the night, and, when will all this end?I don't have the answers, except to say I doubt a one of us saw COVID as a dress rehearsal although the perspective of hindsight tells me it was.TIP: Let's get back to the giving we practiced then because, as you well know, giving is always in style. It keeps us bound together - like “braiding with sweetgrass.”Thank you for listening!You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

In this episode of CODEPINK Radio, Jodie Evans of CODEPINK's Local Peace Economy project discusses with Sabrina Meherally of Pause + Effect how common ideas about gifting, reciprocation, and our responsibility to each other has been warped by the war economy.

The commons was a place the flow of giving and receiving was daily practice, Commons expert David Bollier joins Jodie to share the values and connectivity tissue the war economy has eroded and how to renew our commitment to shared spaces, ideas, and relationships that make up "the Commons

While preparing for an upcoming Zoom Meeting, I was reviewing the Eight Buying Triggers. The first one caught my attention and I decided to share it with you. Becoming an authority figure will position you as the go-to travel professional. When you speak, people will listen. When you recommend, people will consider. When you highly suggest, people will adhere to your suggestions. Becoming n authority figure will serve you well when establishing trusting relationships. This is the first of the eight buying triggers. Next week, we will discuss #2: The Law of Reciprocity.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of ClearedCast, ClearanceJobs legal correspondent Sean Bigley and VP Lindy Kyzer discuss one of the federal government's most persistent personnel security challenges: security clearance reciprocity.Despite years of reform and policy promises, clearance holders continue to face delays and disruptions when moving between agencies—even when they already hold an active clearance. Sean and Lindy break down the latest GAO report, which sheds light on why reciprocity still lags and where implementation gaps persist.In this episode:What the GAO uncovered about reciprocity in practice versus policyWhy cleared professionals often get stuck in re-vetting purgatoryHow cultural, technical, and bureaucratic obstacles continue to derail seamless transfersWhat can be done—from Congress to hiring managers—to fix the systemIf you're a security-cleared professional, HR lead, or anyone navigating the federal hiring ecosystem, this conversation offers a critical reality check on one of Trusted Workforce 2.0's core promises—and why it's yet to be delivered.

During this solo episode, Mona Kay talks about how important emotional reciprocity can be in a neurodiverse relationship. Learning how to give and receive emotional reciprocity can begin to change your connection to your partner and your relationship. However, it's also important to remember that each partner may have different emotional needs. As you each learn new ways of emotionally connecting, be patient and give each other grace and time to learn a new way to show you care.The topics addressed include:The importance of listening to hear and understand (not just respond).Be curious...not judgmental.Ask you partner for what you need...listening, input, problem solving, or a hug.Attunement and connection.Remember you're on the same team.Your partner usually doesn't intend to hurt you. Sometimes their intent may be misunderstood and may have a negative impact. You may both cause each other unintentional hurt.Apologize and repair.If you would like to learn more about the resources Mona has available you can check out her website at: neurodiverselove.com

Prospects get to choose how they engage with you. The whole world is rooting for your success. There are so many needs in the world, and you are only limited by your imagination.   "If you can have a big enough why, and you and your spouse or your significant other can buy into that, then the late night hours of doing a seminar or going in on a Saturday to pick up a check or whatever, it starts to have purpose and meaning toward an end that you're trying to achieve." —  Erin Botsford Episode References: Zoe Empowers: https://zoeempowers.org/Connect with Erin Botsford:Website: https://erinbotsford.com/ Book - The Seven Figure Firm: https://erinbotsford.com/free-book/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erinbotsford/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theadvisorauthority/   Connect with Jeffrey Concepcion: Website: https://www.stratoswealthpartners.comContact: https://www.stratoswealthpartners.com/contactTwitter: https://twitter.com/Stratos_WealthFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/stratoswealthpartnersLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffconcepcion1/

CONTENT HEADS UP: Be enriched by a thoughtfully crafted conversation where sensitive topics related to trauma, torture, and self-loathing are gently woven into a narrative that is ultimately about love. There are no graphic descriptions of torture, just some causes and effects, but we nonetheless recommend that sensitive listeners prioritize their well-being and engage at their own discretion/pace. Also, for those intrigued by the idea of swimming with whales, a friendly reminder to follow safety guidelines and never venture alone into such deep waters.SYNOPSIS:Join us in this episode as we connect with Amber Gray, a masterful Human Rights Psychotherapist and Somatic and Dance/Movement Therapist with over 25 years of experience. Through her profound insights gained from working with survivors of trauma, particularly torture, war, and human rights abuses, Amber shares invaluable lessons and practices.Ali and Amber explore the profound lessons Amber has gleaned from her work with both whales and torture victims, professors and shamans, including the complexities of dissociation, what traditional trauma recovery misses, and the impactful ability to shift one's state of being.Amber's integrative approach, which merges refugee mental health and torture treatment with creative arts, mindfulness, and body-based therapies, offers a unique perspective on healing. The discussion also delves into the innovative Restorative Movement Psychotherapy, a resiliency-based framework co-created by Amber and her clients, designed specifically for trauma survivors in diverse cultural contexts.MORE ALI MEZEY:Website:  https://www.alimezey.comPersonal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course informationTransgenerational Healing FilmsMORE AMBER GRAY:Website: https://ambergray.comTo be with Amber and the whalesBIO: Amber is a Human Rights Psychotherapist and a Somatic and Dance/Movement Therapist who has worked with survivors of interpersonal, collective  and intergenerational trauma, particularly torture, war, and human rights abuses, for 25 years.

Why It's Hard for Therapists to Be Friends Curt and Katie chat about why therapists often struggle with friendships—especially with non-therapists. They explore the impact of emotional labor, overidentifying as caretakers, and the challenges of setting boundaries and expressing needs in personal relationships. Key Takeaways: Therapists often default to caretaking in friendships, especially if they have a history of being “the helper.” Emotional exhaustion from client work can make socializing difficult. Confidentiality and identity boundaries limit what therapists can share about their day. Friendships become healthier when therapists drop the therapist role and prioritize reciprocity. Intentional communication and boundary-setting help create sustainable relationships.

It starts with recognizing the game. If someone is doing you a favor out of the kindness of their heart, it won't be so difficult to offer them a favor in return.

How can we reciprocate since the world keeps us alive on the one hand, and on the other hand, all these things, birds and you name it, right? Fish and moose and beaver, these are things we love. So, if this is the world we love, we're going to have feelings about how we might want to do positive things to keep this world we love as nurtured as possible. And we also hopefully want to ask, how do we keep our own ability to be alive and thrive here as humans?Sarah Peebles is a Toronto-based installation artist, composer and music improvisor. Much of her work explores digitally manipulated found sound and unconventional methods of amplification. She has also collaborated with artists, technicians and bee biologists on a series of projects addressing pollination ecology and biodiversity, entitled ‘Resonating Bodies' since 2008. I loved her ideas on reciprocity, which, indirectly, is what this podcast tries to do by sharing the work of ecological artists like Sarah and their vision of a world where we can peacefully cohabitate with the more-than-human world. Show notes generated by Whisper Transcribe AIAction pointsObserve the natural world closely to understand its intricate feedback loops.Support native bee populations by considering land management practices and avoiding harmful pesticides.Explore art as a medium for understanding and engaging with ecological issues.Question conventional agricultural practices and advocate for sustainable alternatives.Recognize the impact of individual choices on the broader ecosystem and strive for reciprocity.Story PreviewImagine stepping into a world where the secret lives of native, wild bees are amplified, revealing a symphony of tiny movements and vital connections. Sarah Peebles' art invites us to observe and listen closely to nature's diverse, essential players and reconsider our role in its delicate dance. Chapter Summary00:00 The Concept of Reciprocity01:00 Meet Sarah Peebles02:24 Engaging with Biodiversity05:24 Art as a Medium for Science10:14 The Role of Art in HealingFeatured QuotesHow can we reciprocate since the world keeps us alive?They (bees) don't care about me at all. They're doing what they do. I'm helping to provide places in which they can forage and nest which we can visually and sonically access.It's a little bit easier to just allow people to have a sense of wonder and go from there.Behind the StorySarah Peebles' journey exploring art and biodiversity began with a concern: despite years of recording natural sounds, she saw no real change in environmental awareness. This led her to collaborate with wild bee biologist Professor Lawrence Packer, sparking a passion for native bees and a desire to make biodiversity tangible through art. Her ‘Deluxe Log' and other "Resonating Bodies" installations are a testament to this dedication, offering a unique window into the hidden world of these essential pollinators and the habitat that supports them. *END NOTES FOR ALL EPISODESHey conscient listeners, I've been producing the conscient podcast as a learning and unlearning journey since May 2020 on un-ceded Anishinaabe Algonquin territory (Ottawa).

What if I'm honest and everyone finds out I'm a fraud?This quiet fear shaped the beginning of my career in academia—and still lingers. It's a feeling that cuts across disciplines and professions: if we speak honestly, we'll be exposed as not good enough. But in academia, where truth is supposed to be the job, that fear is especially paradoxical. I've spent years training to be a scientist, only to realize that honesty—particularly about ourselves—is often discouraged.This fear shaped why I created the Reciprocity Project. I didn't start with a theory or a product. I started with a feeling: loneliness. After years of isolated research, I wanted to build something that brought play, connection, and conversation back into the work. But as I started documenting that process, I realized something strange—many people were afraid of me doing so.They'd talk to me privately about it, but not in public. Others saw the work as irrelevant to the profession. And yet I was a professor of innovation, studying how new things are created. Shouldn't building something new in academia be part of that story?Apparently not.It turns out, we're comfortable studying “others,” but not ourselves. We train ourselves to explore the world, but not the system we live in. Physicians know this too—self-reflection is uncomfortable. But it's also necessary. Otherwise, we perpetuate a strange norm: we praise curiosity in theory, but punish it when it questions our own structures.This contradiction is personal. I'm not just talking about norms—I've lived them. The work I do is often considered taboo, even when it's mundane. Sharing the truth that academic work is frequently lonely, difficult, and emotionally unglamorous is seen as a betrayal. I've been told not to say these things. That I'm harming my career. That no one wants to hear it.But when I do say them, something remarkable happens: people connect. They open up. They say, “Yes. That's exactly how I feel.” And they say it in whispers.This whisper-network of truth makes me wonder: What are we so afraid of?What if being open didn't destroy our careers, but transformed them? What if struggling didn't mean we were flawed, but human? What if loneliness was not a pathology, but a signal that something in the system needs care?I built Reciprocity because I needed a place to feel less alone. I wanted to gamify the work, bring some joy back in, even if I had to talk to a robot instead of a person. But what I discovered is that the real innovation wasn't the platform. It was the honesty. The audacity to say: “I'm a researcher. I'm often alone. I'm scared. But I'm trying.”That's the truth I stand by. Not as rebellion, but as care. We lose too many good people to silence and quiet exits. If naming the loneliness, the fear, and the struggle makes me an outsider, so be it. But maybe—just maybe—naming it can change things.You're not broken. You're just doing something hard. And I'll be here to remind you: you're not alone.

In this episode of Hands in the Soil, we sit down with flower farmer and community visionary Cathryn Henning of Bee Worthy Farms for a deeply honest and hopeful conversation about what it really takes to make small-scale farming viable in today's world. Now in her third year in business, and with nearly a decade of experience in non-profit farming, Cathryn is all about adapting her work in a shifting culture and climate, while growing community alongside crops.We unpack the layers of burnout, joy, beauty, and strategy that go into running a land-based business that is both regenerative and financially sustainable. Cathryn shares her journey from milking goats to running a flower farm in San Diego, and how she's redefined success through practices of reciprocity, seasonal alignment, and community care.We explore how ease can be cultivated not by chasing external markers of success, but by building internal and relational systems that support longevity, on the land and within ourselves. You'll also hear the origin story of Bloom Club, Cathryn's newest community-supported model that invites people into direct, reciprocal relationship with her farm.Whether you're a land steward, aspiring grower, or someone dreaming of a more connected way of living, this episode is a beautiful exploration of farming as lifestyle, livelihood, and love letter to the Earth.Tune in to learn more about:Why Cathryn pivoted from vegetables to flowers, and the hidden hustle of eachHow reciprocity shows up in land stewardship and business decisionsThe myth of the “struggling farmer” and how to reframe itBuilding community into your business without losing yourselfAligning your farm operations with the seasons (and your nervous system)The vision behind Bloom Club and reimagining agritourismPractical ways farmers can invite support, set boundaries, and avoid burnoutResources & Links:Bee Worthy Farms WebsiteFollow Cathryn: @beeworthyfarmsBloom Club: Member-only access pass to the farm to reconnect—with nature, creativity, learning, and the quiet magic of seasonal rhythmsConnect with Hannah: @hannahkeitel

What is art? What is art anyway? It's a new term, really. I think we need to go a little bit beyond that. I think of myself as a sound practitioner, so what can I offer? If someone has a visual acuity, if someone has acuity with body and movement and voice, you know, what is it that we can do in our communities to help people to listen, to be in their bodies, to breathe?My conversation withcomposer, sound artist, media artist and facilitator Tina Pearson, whose work explores nuanced sonic investigations of perception, presence and place. suggests we slow down and listen, which I often hear artists suggest on this podcast but how does one do that? Well, soundwalking is one way to do, which what Tina and I did during our 90-minute conversation, recorded in September 2024 at PKOLS park, translates to ‘White Head' or ‘White Rock' in the SENĆOŦEN language of the W̱SÁNEĆ peoples, also known as Mt.

It challenges the conventional approaches to art and climate action, advocating for a deeper, more reciprocal relationship with the environment. Pearson's personal background as a first-generation North American informs her perspective on decolonization and untethering from harmful systems. *END NOTES FOR ALL EPISODES Hey conscient listeners, I've been producing the conscient podcast as a learning and unlearning journey since May 2020 on un-ceded Anishinaabe Algonquin territory (Ottawa).

Mary welcomes back pastor and Bible scholar Andy Woods to look at what we saw, and what we may have missed, in the last week. Israel and Iran went at it and it won't be over till it's over. Which is as it should be, but will Trump insist on taking it to the talk table before Israel has really made the world safe from the largest exporter of terrorism? So much to look at there. We also look at politics, American style, when it comes to the waste of time that was No Kings Saturday. Sometimes we wonder if the Left has thought this through, trying to rid the country of Trump. What exactly do they think would happen if he is gone, are they hoping to simply install their favorite progressive the next day? The lack of civics knowledge will come home to haunt them. We also look at Gog and Magog; the Mark of the Beast tech, and the media mentality, which is generally one of lies and half-truths again. Still. A great hour with a gifted teacher and prophecy watcher.

Authentic relationships between Black and white women in higher education are often difficult to cultivate—made more so by the persistent realities of misogynoir and the role white women can play in perpetuating harm. In this powerful episode, co-hosted by Heather Shea and Raechele Pope, we're joined by Drs.

Podcast Notes Episode 466 Exploring the Principles of Influence with Wes Bryant Host: Brian Miller, Executive Director of CAM Guests: Wes Bryant Brian and Wes meet again, this time exploring Dr. Robert Cialdini's seven principles of ethical influence—Liking, Reciprocity, Social Proof, Unity, Authority, Consistency, and Scarcity. Drawing from years of research and practical coaching experience, they unpack how these principles show up naturally in everyday life and how they can be used truthfully, wisely, and generously. With personal stories, biblical connections, and actionable insights, the series emphasizes that influence isn't about manipulation—it's about building trust, offering value, and creating alignment between your message and your audience's motivations. Key Highlights:          Liking & Unity: People say yes to those they like or feel connected to. Shared identity builds faster, deeper rapport than shared interests alone.          Reciprocity & Generosity: Give first—genuinely, without strings. True service often leads to unexpected opportunities and relationships.          Social Proof: Others' voices carry weight. Testimonials, champions, and visible approval signal credibility and trustworthiness.          Authority & Consistency: People follow perceived experts and prefer to stay consistent with prior commitments. Use micro-agreements and visible endorsements wisely.          Scarcity Drives Action: Real limits (time, spots, access) motivate decisions. But urgency must be truthful—false pressure breaks trust. Takeaways:          Serve First, Then Ask – Generosity leads to reciprocity; people help those who help them.          Show You Belong – Build unity by naming your niche and connecting through shared identity.          Use Testimonials Thoughtfully – Let satisfied clients or respected voices advocate for you.          Ask Clearly, Set Real Limits – Micro-commitments boost follow-through; true scarcity drives decision-making.
