In that space is our power to choose our response.-Viktor FranklChapters0:26 Welcome to Anxiety Coaches Podcast7:02 Unearthing Your Inner Sanctuary15:00 Cultivating Lasting Tranquility16:27 Befriending Uncomfortable Emotions18:28 Living Beyond ReactivitySummaryIn this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into the concept of moving beyond mere survival mode and reclaiming our natural state of calm. Many of us find ourselves caught in a whirlwind of stress and anxiety, feeling perpetually overloaded and braced for the next challenge. I share my personal insights on the notion of survival mode—an all-too-frequent mindset in our fast-paced lives—as well as my experiences of navigating significant changes and the overwhelming effects of modern life on our mental well-being.I explore the various forces that contribute to our stress accumulation, drawing comparisons between the frantic rhythm of today's world and the more leisurely pace of the past. While chronic stress can manifest through numerous pathways, it is crucial to identify how the constant barrage of information and responsibilities heightens our anxiety. The ceaseless demand for our attention, whether from relentless news updates or notifications from our devices, keeps our nervous system in a heightened state of alertness. This leads to an ongoing cycle where small irritants trigger disproportionate responses, indicating that we might be dwelling in survival mode.Throughout the episode, I offer practical strategies to shift our experience from one of relentless reactivity to a more measured and intentional response to life's demands. I emphasize the importance of mindful pauses, suggesting a simple yet effective two-second pause to recalibrate our minds before reacting to various stimuli. This brief moment of reflection can significantly retrain our nervous system and mitigate stress.#AnxietyCoachesPodcast#AnxietyRelief#StressManagement#MindfulLiving#InnerPeace#ReclaimYourCalm#MentalWellness#SelfCare#BeyondSurvivalMode#GinaRyan#AnxietyCoach#FindYourCalm#StressLess#CopingSkills#EmotionalRegulation#MindBodyConnection#BreathingTechniques#DigitalDetox#LiveInTheMoment#MindfulnessPractice#WellnessJourney#PersonalDevelopment#ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Susan Robertson, Possibility Architect at Sharpen Innovation and Harvard instructor. Susan shares why so many of us lose our sense of imagination as we grow up and how we can get it back by embracing curiosity and being open to mistakes. We also discuss how even the wildest brainstorming ideas can lead to real breakthroughs and role-play through a few examples to demonstrate that creativity isn't just for artists; it's something we can all tap into to spark fresh ideas. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How Susan Robertson transitioned from a career in consumer packaged goods marketing to becoming a leading expert in creative thinking and innovation Why many adults lose their sense of creativity as they mature, and what neuroscience and research reveal about unlearning imagination and originality What common mental roadblocks, like negativity bias and “yes, but” thinking, prevent teams and individuals from generating new ideas and how to overcome them How Susan's GPS (Great Problem Solving) methodology can be applied to brainstorming sessions to unlock more creative and practical solutions Why embracing divergent (expanding) and convergent (narrowing) thinking is essential for effective ideation and problem solving during group sessions What practical techniques you can use to encourage wild ideas in brainstorming, and how to turn seemingly “crazy” thoughts into innovative, actionable outcomes How replacing judgmental language with open-ended “how might we” questions improves collaboration, sparks better ideas, and leads to breakthrough results How Negativity Bias Sabotages Innovation Internal psychology, not lack of talent, is often the biggest barrier to fresh thinking. Susan points to our shared cognitive biases, especially “negativity bias,” as a prime culprit. This is the tendency for negative experiences or feedback to have a greater impact on our thoughts and behaviors than positive ones. In a group or brainstorming session, this bias often emerges as “yes, but” thinking. Someone suggests an idea, and the immediate response is to agree superficially while pointing out flaws, the “yes, but” that immediately follows. The thing is, though, if you're never willing to be wrong, you're never going to try anything different or imagine anything that doesn't exist, shooting down the impractical points right away can stifle the kind of out-of-the-box thinking needed for innovation. Transform Brainstorms into Breakthroughs Susan shares a solution in the form of her GPS methodology, which stands for Great Problem Solving. Here's how it works: List What's Great – When an idea is proposed, first focus on what's interesting, valuable, or potentially exciting about it, even if the idea seems wild or impractical, make a detailed list of these positives. Frame Problems as Opportunities – Instead of jumping to objections, articulate any concerns as “How might we…?” or “How can we…?” questions. For instance, if an idea seems too expensive, avoid the instinctive “That will cost too much!” Instead, ask, “How might we make this more affordable?” Iterate and Combine – Use this list of positive elements and problem-solving questions to evolve the idea. Change as much as needed to address concerns, while preserving what's new and valuable. Sparking Wild Ideas or the “Get Fired” Technique To truly innovate, sometimes you have to go wild on purpose. Susan's favorite technique is to ask everyone to suggest a solution so extreme they'd be fired if it were ever implemented. These over-the-top ideas get creative juices flowing and give psychological permission to break free from conventional limits. Once those “get fired” ideas are out there, use Susan's GPS (Great Problem Solving) method to extract their most intriguing or practical elements and rework them into real-world solutions. Susan recommends making a clear distinction between two modes in group innovation: divergence (generating many wild and varied ideas) and convergence (narrowing down and selecting the best options). By keeping these phases separate—and signaling to the group which mode you're in—you encourage participation and avoid shutting down ideas prematurely.

“It's been so gratifying, not just the accolades but how I've been able to show up. Learning how to love myself, learning what my voice is, and being able to trust that, stand tall and stand true in that it's enough.” Taylor Townsend on evolving Taylor Townsend Joins The Pivot Podcast for an exclusive, deeply personal and powerful conversation after her 2025 US Open breakthrough. Days after captivating fans with her deep run and emotional performances at the 2025 US Open, American tennis star Taylor sat down with Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder for one of the most heartfelt and unfiltered interviews in the show's recent history. The episode opens with the hosts giving Townsend her flowers, celebrating not just her performance on the court—where she reached the fourth round in electrifying fashion—but also her unapologetic authenticity, her resilience, and her long road back to center stage. From the jump, Townsend came through with that signature mix of grace and grit. “I've started setting goals and not being afraid of failure...I finally get to be myself and not hide from who I am,” Townsend said, reflecting on her resurgence. Over the course of the hour-long conversation, Townsend opened up about her heated post-match altercation with Jelena Ostapenko, breaking her silence and addressing the viral moment head-on, being proud that she used her words to control her emotions and how she stood firm on not tolerating disrespect, as her father raised them not to be punks but also to always stand up for themselves which led Taylor to telling Jelena- “Don't ever put your finger in my face again." Taylor continues to open up with her childhood dreams, looking up to Serena and Venus and how despite being competitors, Serena took her under wing when she was pregnant and helped prepare her for this gratifying yet extremely difficult journey. Her battles with body image and bias in the sport, especially how early narratives in her career tried to box her in and tell her she could never excel in a sport that wouldn't accept her certain stature and build. Sharing how she lost 95 pounds in 10 months coming back after pregnancy but that motherhood and identity have impacted her life in meaningful ways. Revealing intimate details about balancing elite competition with raising her son, Adyn, which she credits to teaching her what true love and sacrifice is as she opens up on the mental side of her journey, including moments of doubt, therapy, and the role of her support system. One of the most powerful moments came near the end, when Townsend addressed she's been on the pro tour for 13 years and been hiding for twelve of them and is now finally able to show up as herself.Taylor points to her recent loss as her most pivotal moment, in a place where her career is going to skyrocket, with her confidence, faith and motivation higher than ever. The conversation flowed like family catching up, as Taylor made the joke she felt like she was sitting with her uncles with Channing bringing the laughs, Ryan dropping wisdom, and Fred reflecting on what it means to carry a legacy in a sport that hasn't always been built for athletes like Townsend. The episode has a lot to unpack, filled with many viral moments, drawing praise from across the sports world for Townsend's honesty, charisma, and unshakable sense of self.

In this episode we discuss:What does a proud Jew professionally associated with the Democratic Party make of the state of contemporary politics? Where should one begin in trying to be an educated and involved Jew with a strong Jewish home?How can the mussar literature be a great starting point to people looking to deepen their practice? Tune in to hear a conversation about claiming for ourselves the tradition that so many try to take from us. Interview begins at 11:14.Sarah Hurwitz served as a White House speechwriter from 2009 to 2017, first as a senior speechwriter for President Barack Obama and then as head speechwriter for First Lady Michelle Obama.

In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik explores the power of reclaiming our inner compass and taking radical responsibility for emotional, mental, and physical health. Guests Dr. Marissa Heisel, a holistic healing expert, and Zoey Kyriacou, a licensed therapist and anxiety specialist, share grounded insights on self-healing, boundary setting, and redefining self-care. Together, they reveal how tuning into our body's wisdom, questioning external authority, and practicing practical mental health tools can create clarity, peace, and empowerment. This conversation bridges science and soul, helping you step into alignment and reconnect with your true self. About the Guests Dr. Marissa Heisel is a holistic healing pioneer with 25+ years of experience blending chiropractic care, midwifery, and energy medicine. She helps women reclaim authority over their health and live in alignment with their inner compass. Zoey Kyriacou is a licensed professional counselor, certified anxiety specialist, and founder of Mastermind Counseling. She supports high-functioning adults navigating anxiety, burnout, ADHD, and boundaries with a mix of heart and practical tools. Key Takeaways Radical responsibility begins with reclaiming inner authority instead of outsourcing all decisions to external systems. Modern health culture often conditions people into compliance; healing starts with curiosity, embodiment, and listening to the body. High-functioning adults frequently hide anxiety behind success; learning to challenge internal stories and self-talk is essential. Boundaries are difficult for people-pleasers but vital for sustainable mental health; practicing small “no's” helps overcome guilt. Self-care isn't always bubble baths—it can be the unglamorous choices like eating better, resting, or walking outside. True well-being comes from alignment with purpose, presence, and practices that reconnect us to nature and stillness.

What happens when your newly updated sales funnel “should” be working, the leads are rolling in, and everyone says they're ready… but almost no one buys? How do you handle the biggest sales slump you've had all year? In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on how I turned the slowest start to a month this year into our highest cash month to date—from $6K in the first 12 days to nearly $60K by the 31st. Spoiler: It didn't happen by chasing trends, burning everything down, or throwing more money at ads. I walk you through the six strategic shifts (plus one bonus move) that created the breakthrough, starting with a personal realignment in my spiritual life and leading into CEO-level decisions that refined my funnel, optimized our follow-up, elevated our offer suite, and re-centered how I show up as a leader. If you're sick of chasing trends and craving sustainable growth that honors both your mission and your margin, no matter what's happening week to week in your business, this episode is for you. Timeline Highlights [00:00] From 20 qualified leads and 1 sale to a record-breaking $60K month—how I transformed August in 18 days. [02:31] Step 1: Reclaiming my spiritual foundation and how reconnecting with God re-centered my identity and decision-making. [17:23] Step 2: Rebuilt my funnel (again) by ditching “proven” advice and trusting my instinct to speak to real buyers, not browsers. [27:23] Step 3: Slashed ad spend by 50% because scaling a broken funnel doesn't fix anything. [29:40] Step 4: Recommitted to sales calls and showing up for potential clients and leading decisively. [33:13] Step 5: Installed a 7-day deadline with automated follow-up so I'm no longer nurturing indecision. [39:21] Step 6: Created a high-ticket, done-for-you offer for clients who don't want DIY, serving those ready for full-service support. [43:21] Bonus step 7: Made it easier for action-takers to apply quickly, removing friction for my most aligned leads. Top 5 Quotes from This Episode "Your identity should not be in your business, because if it is, it doesn't matter how good your business is, you're always going to be disappointed." "I really had to get my identity back into my relationship with God and not into the sales numbers, the revenue goals, or even the reputation I have online." "Sometimes leadership as a CEO means stepping back into parts of your business you were hoping to get out of because that's what's required to make sales." "It wasn't luck. It wasn't just from manifesting. I had to do a lot of work, and I had to make CEO-level decisions." "Being able to respond, not react, is what allows you to grow month after month, year after year without rebuilding from scratch every 90 days." Closing Remarks I hope this conversation gave you not only tactical insight but a deeper sense of permission to lead from alignment, not urgency. Remember: Cold streaks don't define you as a CEO. Your ability to recalibrate and lead with discernment does. If this episode spoke to where you are right now, I'd love for you to share it with a fellow coach or practitioner who's building their online business with the same integrity and vision. And if you haven't yet, take a moment to rate, follow, and review the show—it helps more mission-driven leaders like you find this space.

In this deeply moving episode, Dr. Debi Silber is joined by author and transformational guide Megan Walrod, whose debut novel It's Always Been Me is not just a story—it's a healing journey. What began as a personal process to move through her own betrayal turned into a breathtaking fictional narrative that reflects the five stages from betrayal to breakthrough. Megan shares how writing the character of Sabina, a woman who loses herself while supporting her partner's dream, became a powerful tool for reclaiming her voice and healing old wounds. Through this conversation, you'll hear how creative expression, emotional release, and reconnection with intuition can become catalysts for transformation after heartbreak. This episode is a powerful reminder: even when your life doesn't look like the story you thought you'd live, you can write a new one—and become the main character of your own life.

Her intelligence, curiosity, and intuition make her an exquisite holder of the most tender places, guiding clients into sacred sexuality, the reclamation of true pleasure, and the remembrance of sovereignty.In this episode of This Cosmic Life, what unfolds is more than a conversation. It is a deep coded transmission of sacred expression, a current of devotion that awakens unexpected blossoming.My Guest Nickie Jean is a modern day priestess and creator of Askanda Natha Mystery School located in the Los Angeles area. She specializes in holding space for healing through ceremonies ranging from reiki, to tantra, and sacred medicines such as kambo. She also offers priestess apprenticeships to allow others to come and learn the temple arts, and to assist them in feeling comfortable and confident to share their gifts with the community. Through temple initiations and Mystery School teachings she provides an outlet to help re awaken ancient traditions integrated into modern society. One of her passion is helping to shed shame around sacred sexuality and help people understand the power that lies within our sexual essence, and helping other women to feel safe to be embodied in the divine feminine power of sensuality done in an honorable manner. Through kundalini energetics and quantum bodywork she teaches others unique ways to awaken the endocrine alchemy that the ancients used to revere. Among her many Mystery School offerings she also provides womb healing, yoni mapping, and kundalini awakening done through your own spiritual experience, not relying on another to access and rise this sacred life force.

What if midlife wasn't the decline everyone warns you about, but a second spring?In this episode of Nope! We're Not Monogamous, I sit down with Carla Wainwright, Holistic Wellness Coach, Sexual Awakening Facilitator, and self-proclaimed Midlife Alchemist. We talk about what really happens to women's desire, relationships, and identity in midlife, and how it all ties into exploring non-monogamy, polyamory, and rewriting the love scripts we didn't ask for.Carla shares why:
Keywords purpose, fulfillment, meaning, personal growth, emotional triggers, curiosity, self-reflection, life transitions, passion projects, intentional living Summary In this episode, Jessica and Kelly discuss the concept of purpose as a practice rather than a destination. They explore how to reconnect with one's purpose through reflection on joyful moments, identifying emotional triggers, and following curiosity. The conversation emphasizes that true purpose is rooted in meaning and fulfillment, rather than productivity, and encourages listeners to live with intention and explore their passions. Takeaways Purpose is built, not found. True purpose is about meaning, not productivity. Reflect on joyful moments to reconnect with purpose. Identify what breaks your heart to find your passion. Follow curiosity to discover new interests. Passion doesn't have to be tied to your job. Reclaiming purpose involves many small decisions. Living with intention is key to fulfillment. Explore side projects that ignite your passion. Consider what you loved to do as a child. Sound bites "Follow curiosity, not pressure." "Passion doesn't need to be productive." "What did 10-year-old you love to do?"

This is the episode I've been both nervous and deeply called to record. For over a year, I've known that I needed to share my story about being involved in a cult-like spiritual group… and how I found the courage to leave, heal, and rebuild my trust in myself and my spiritual path. In this powerful and vulnerable episode, I take you behind the scenes of: ✨ The moment I realized I was caught in a manipulative spiritual community ✨ The psychological and energetic tactics used in high-control groups ✨ How my Saturn return forced me to confront unhealthy authority and reclaim my sovereignty ✨ The fear, guilt, and grief I faced when leaving: and the relief and freedom that came on the other side ✨ How this experience shaped the way I now run my business, teach the Akashic Records, and hold space with radical integrity ___ This is not a story of blame or sensationalism, but of healing, truth, and reclaiming power. If you've ever felt manipulated in a spiritual or coaching space, or you're healing from a community or relationship that broke your trust, I hope this conversation brings validation and light to your journey. ___

Tracy-Ann Oberman is a British actress. She gained prominence for her role as Chrissie Watts in the long-running British soap opera "EastEnders." Oberman has appeared in numerous television shows, including "Doctor Who," "Friday Night Dinner," and "Toast of London." Tracy-Ann is passionate about Jewish rights and uses her platform to speak about these issues and has been doing so for decades. In 2025, she was awarded an MBE for services to Holocaust Education and Combatting Antisemitism. In a tweet announcing the award, she wrote that her “recent production of The Merchant of Venice 1936—is driven by a commitment to Holocaust education and challenging antisemitism through storytelling. As well as bringing communities together through shared understanding. This recognition is deeply meaningful and I'm grateful to all who have supported this journey.” We discuss Tracy-Ann's fearless commitment to publicly defending jews wherever she can, and the way she has combined her activism with her art in The Merchant of Venice 1936. Today's episode was produced by Tani Levitt and Mijon Zulu. To check out more episodes or to learn more about the show, you can visit our website Allaboutchangepodcast.com.

What does it mean to reconnect with your river, your culture, and your courage — all through the power of kayaking? In this episode of The Discomfort Zone, I sit down with Ruby Williams, a Quartz Valley tribal member and Kuduk person raised along the banks of the Klamath River in Happy Camp, California. Ruby's paddling journey began in 2022 with Paddle Tribal Waters, and has since taken her from the first full descent of the 310-mile Klamath, to training in Chile, Canada, and Africa. Ruby shares how kayaking has transformed her relationship with fear, taught her the power of choosing her own challenges, and deepened her connection to community, leadership, and her ancestral river.

Episode #287 Christopher Gronski, Reclaiming Your State Citizenship For Ultimate Freedom Hello Health Heroes! This week, I spoke with Christopher Gronski who thirty years ago learned how to reclaim his Citizenship in New Hampshire, the State he lives in. For the last 20+ years he has been helping other people (me included) do the same. What you're going to learn is that you were born a “State Citizen” and for almost all of us that ended as soon as we turned eighteen and “Voluntarily” signed tax documents to go to work for someone that took us out of the “State Jurisdiction” and placed us in the “Federal Jurisdiction” of Washington D.C. Bad move… that jurisdiction will tax you because they (Congress) has the constitutional and legal authority to do so via the 14th Amendment. Did you know you can learn how to complete your paperwork correctly and avoid all that legally? What could you do with the money you're sending to taxes for your health, your family and community? I know some of you are already thinking… but those taxes fix our roads and stuff. Nope! All that tax money is going to pay interest on the national debt. Remember the first $900 Billion Government Covid Package that was supposed to help Americans that couldn’t work and help business owners stay afloat? A large percentage of those funds went overseas? I remember reading that $10 Million went to Pakistan for “Gender Awareness Programs”. It's simple, the government sucks but we have unknowingly empowered them when we “Voluntarily” and in reality “Unknowingly” started filling out tax forms. There is another way… Enjoy the show!

You've built a life that looks "perfect on paper".And yet… why does it still feel like something's missing?Many women who have succeeded in life, getting the job, promotion, and status may appear confident in certain parts in life, though behind the scenes they feel broken, shattered, and unsure of themselves. They struggle to hold boundaries, relationships feel difficult, they constantly feel attacked or criticised and they're frightened of not doing or being enough. The fear of rejection is real. There is a fear of failure, and the constant fear of not being “enough.” These fears don't just affect business success; they shape the way you show up in your relationships, too.In this episode, I discuss the surprising link and difference between self-confidence and self-worth when it comes to ambition, trauma, love, and and survival anxiety show up in personal and professional life. https://calendly.com/relationshipsuccesslab-info/discovery-callhttps://healtraumabonding.comSupport the showWelcome to Trauma Bonding to Secure Relationships with Dr Sarah — the podcast that helps ambitious individuals and couples heal trauma bonding and toxic relationship cycles to build secure attachments and loving healthy relationships.

Feeling the pressure to perform, please, or prove? Leadership doesn't collapse because of external pressure — it unravels from internal misalignment. This episode shows you how to reclaim influence from the inside out.When pressure builds — do you perform, please, or posture?In today's episode, we're diving deep into a leadership truth few acknowledge: real influence doesn't come from managing perception. It comes from anchoring in identity — especially when the stakes are high.Whether you're a founder, creative, or leader carrying silent pressure, this episode reveals how internal misalignment slowly erodes your presence, integrity, and impact. Drawing on the story of Jesus in Gethsemane, we show how leadership under pressure isn't about getting louder — it's about getting truer.If you've ever felt the cost of being misunderstood, the temptation to over-explain, or the exhausting urge to control outcomes — this conversation will recalibrate your core.You'll learn:Why identity-level congruence is your leadership stabilizerHow performance-based leadership creates hidden fracturesWhat it really means to lead from integrity, not imageThe quiet power of presence when words fall shortToday's Micro Recalibration:“Where am I leaking energy trying to be understood, instead of being anchored in who I am?”Return to alignment. Let presence speak louder than performance.Team Recalibration Prompt:Bring this to your team: “Here's what I've been reflecting on about my own leadership under pressure. I'm committed to leading from clarity, not reaction.

God is always at work in our lives and in the world. And God is always inviting us to join Him in what He is doing. So, what keeps us from responding to His invitation? What gets in our way? And how can we become free to say, “Yes?” Let's consider those questions and the answer this Sunday as we gather for worship.
This final sermon in this series RECLAIMING comes from Vince Lozada. Vince shares on the call to reclaim worship- from the commercialization of the American worship system, to the fullness of what worship was meant to be. www.thevineaustin.org 2 Samuel 6:12-22, Psalm 13
Physician advocates Alae Kawam, Kim Downey, and Nicole Solomos discuss their article "True stories of doctors reclaiming their humanity in a system that challenges it," sharing firsthand accounts of the cultural rift in modern medicine and the toll of corporate models on patient care and physician well-being. Alae, Kim, and Nicole outline how millennial and Gen Z physicians are redefining professional boundaries, resisting overwork, and demanding autonomy over cookie-cutter wellness programs. They highlight the divisions and biases among physicians, the erosion of collegiality, and the harm caused when outdated or false medical studies persist. The conversation offers actionable insights for health care leaders on valuing physicians as strategic assets, fostering collaboration, and restoring trust and compassion as the foundation of patient care.
