Ranger Suarez delivered another outstanding performance, pitching for 7 innings and recording 8 strikeouts, allowing 4 hits and 1 earned run. After a spell on the bench, Nick Castellanos went 2-5 at the plate, while the struggling Bryson Stott launched a 3-run homer to kick off the Phillies' scoring at the Fish Bowl.

Many of us are so busy keeping up with life, that we forget to check in with ourselves. We follow the rules, meet expectations and strive for success – yet still feel disconnected, stuck or unfulfilled. True purpose can feel elusive, like something we're always searching for but never quite finding. This week, I'm joined by Kirsty Gallagher to explore how reconnecting with who you truly are can lead to a life of greater meaning, alignment, and joy. Kirsty is a renowned meditation and yoga teacher, a spiritual coach, and Sunday Times bestselling author of several books - including her latest, Your Cosmic Purpose. In our conversation, we discuss: Why your true purpose is to be yourself, not to chase status, success or approval How to start listening to your own truth, even if you've spent a lifetime tuning in to everyone else's Why spending time in stillness is so important The role of discomfort and “internal conflict” as signs you're out of alignment Why trusting the timing of your life is essential and how your most painful experiences may be guiding you to greater clarity and purpose The importance of celebrating your progress How to reclaim your power by learning to make conscious, intentional choices - even when you are unable to change your external circumstances Throughout this conversation, Kirsty shares stories from her own journey, from corporate burnout to spiritual awakening, and offers practical tools to help you reconnect with the part of you that already knows the way. This conversation may feel a little different from others I have had on this podcast. It leans more into the emotional and spiritual aspects of health and healing, but if you listen with an open heart and mind, I truly believe there is something in it for everyone. At its core, it's a powerful reminder that you are the expert of your own life. Your truth matters. Your voice matters. And your purpose, however small or quiet it may seem right now, is already within you. Support the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.

In this episode of Energy Medicine, Dr. Mary welcomes Tigrilla Gardenia, a plant neurobiologist and ecosystem mentor, for a conversation that opens the heart and softens the spirit. With over twenty-five years of experience and a deep connection to the spiritual community of Damanhur, Tigrilla shares how plants became not just part of her environment—but her collaborators, mentors, and healing partners.Together, they explore the intelligence of the plant world, how music became a gateway to communication, and the subtle yet powerful ways plants mirror back our own inner truths. Whether you live in a city surrounded by concrete or in the heart of a forest, this episode invites you to return to presence, trust your natural rhythms, and reconnect with the plant beings already in your life.This conversation is an invitation to slow down, to breathe with the plants, and to remember that nature is not outside of us—it's within us, waiting patiently to be heard.Key Takeaways:✨ Plants are conscious collaborators—here to support, teach, and grow alongside us when we enter into presence.✨ Communication with plants begins with awareness and intention, not expertise. Simply sitting with a plant can shift everything.✨ Even houseplants have wisdom to share—they've evolved alongside humans and can be powerful guides for emotional healing and personal growth.✨ Our environments reflect what we need. Often, the plants already living with us are the exact teachers we've been seeking.✨ Reconnecting with your own natural cycles—especially rest—is a form of healing modeled beautifully by the plant world.✨ Creating intentional relationships with plants opens the door to more grounded clarity, intuitive guidance, and inner alignment.✨ At its core, this work is about remembering who we are as beings of nature—and learning to live in deeper cooperation with all life.Contact Tigrilla Gardenia:Website: https://tigrillagardenia.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tigrillagardenia ReConnect with Plant Wisdom Podcast Contact Dr. Mary:Website: www.drmarysanders.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.maryesanders/The Ultimate Meditation Guide to Unleash Your Authentic Self
1. Acceptance Doesn't Mean ApprovalAccepting reality means facing things as they are—not as you wish they were. You don't have to like the situation to accept it. Acceptance simply says:“This is happening. This is real.”Only from that place can you make wise decisions.How to practice it: • Stop fighting what you can't change (past events, other people's choices). • Say to yourself: “This is the way it is right now, and I can still decide how I respond.”⸻2. Feel What You FeelAvoiding pain only intensifies it. Feelings like sadness, anger, disappointment, and grief are valid and temporary—if you let yourself feel them.How to practice it: • Journal honestly without judgment. • Talk to a trusted friend or therapist. • Allow yourself to grieve what you've lost, even if it's just an old version of your life.⸻3. Shift Your Focus to What You Can ControlYou can't control everything. But you can control your mindset, your choices, your boundaries, your routines.Ask yourself: • What can I influence right now? • What small actions help me feel more grounded today?Even small wins—eating well, getting rest, setting a boundary—help you rebuild trust with yourself.⸻4. Stay Flexible, Not RigidLife rarely follows a straight line. The people who adjust best are those who stay open to new possibilities, not attached to specific outcomes.How to practice it: • Replace “Why is this happening to me?” with “What is this trying to teach me?” • Think in terms of seasons. This moment isn't permanent—it's part of a larger story.⸻5. Rebuild with IntentionOnce you accept what's happened, you can ask: Now what?What kind of life do you want to build now, even if it's different than before?Ways to rebuild: • Reconnect with what matters: your values, relationships, goals. • Try new things—even small ones—to rediscover what gives you energy or peace. • Set short-term goals that move you forward.⸻6. Give Yourself GraceYou're not behind. You're not broken. You're human.Remember: • Healing isn't linear. • You're allowed to struggle and still grow. • Every step, even if it's small, counts.
In episode 160, I'm sharing two personal experiences from working with life coaches. One aligned and one not aligned. The first experience empowered me to feel safe, supported and connected to my souls energy - the second experience I found myself dimming my light to help the coach feel comfortable & stopped trusting my intuition. We'll also chat about my current private coaching spot open now and how these two experiences have impacted the way I coach.

Many Christians have had the disheartening experience of feeling like they have lost their connection with God. There you were, going along through life's experiences, and something happens. Whether it is one big change or many little things over time, you wake up one day and realize God seems far away. Now what? Is it over? How do you find your way back to that precious connection that you lost? A good way to understand what to do to reconnect is to observe some of the experiences of the Apostle Peter. We all know how he denied Jesus on the day of his crucifixion. What we don't often think about is how he got to that point and what it took to draw him back into God's favor. The third and final time Jesus called Peter to follow him Peter openly and fearfully admitted that he was a sinful man. Jesus called him anyway. Peter's journey following Jesus would show him just how little he knew about his own faults and how little he knew about what discipleship required. The night before Jesus' crucifixion... Peter confidently claimed he would never forsake Jesus. In spite of that bold proclamation of loyalty, Peter would deny Jesus three times early the very next morning. His denials escalated from simple avoidance to emphatic rejection. If we have ever alienated ourselves from God ...we have likely gone down a similar road to Peter's. The good news is we can now learn how to bring ourselves back to God by following the pattern that Peter himself followed. So, what happened? How was Peter's alienation slowly dissolved and he was able to reconnect? Peter's experience shows us there are three key steps to reconnecting with God: Prepare Your Mind for Action: Peter running to the empty tomb on the morning of Jesus' resurrection was taking the first step. Even though he still didn't understand what was happening, he showed that he wanted to. This was crucial. Be Serious and Reverent: Peter likely wrestled with self-doubt, but God's grace persisted. Jesus would reaffirm Peter's efforts through two miraculous personal appearances to him and others on that resurrection day. Embrace Forgiveness & Change: Weeks later, Jesus restored Peter by asking if he loved him. This restoration would come with the profound responsibility of being a shepherd to Jesus' flock after his ascension up to heaven. For each of us, to spiritually reconnect requires small, intentional steps which include prayer, scripture study and humility. The beautiful message here is that God's faithfulness ensures that even in failure, restoration is possible!

Molly Puryear is the Executive Director of Malashock Dance and a lifelong believer in the healing, connective power of movement. With infectious joy and deep conviction, she champions dance not just as an art form but as a way to be more fully human. Under her leadership, Malashock is expanding the definition of what dance can do for the community. This is demonstrated through SD NeuroDance, a pioneering program blending movement, neuroscience, and care to support individuals living with ALS, Parkinson's, cerebral palsy, and more. This Episode: How can the joy and vulnerability of dance bring us closer to ourselves and each other? In this heartfelt conversation, Molly shares how Malashock Dance is helping SD NeuroDance participants and caregivers alike reconnect with joy, dignity, and embodiment through dance. The program shifts the focus from limitations to possibilities. Rooted in science and lived experience, SD NeuroDance creates a space where people can move, bond, and feel at home in their bodies. It's also a story of listening: to staff, to community, and to the wisdom that healing can look like rhythm, music, and mirroring movement with a loved one. Molly and Grant explore the deeper truth behind all of this—how dance, so often underfunded and undervalued, is core to who we are. From weddings to cultural traditions to spontaneous joy in the living room, dance is everywhere. And as Molly reminds us, in a world that teaches us to unlearn joy, movement can help us remember. Key Moments: [8:25] How dance can help people with different conditions connect with their body [14:17] Bridging science and art: finding balance between therapy and dance [18:45] How Malashock Dance evolved its mission through community feedback [29:14] Why dance is essential to the human experience [34:05] Federal arts funding cuts and their impact on dance's underrepresented artists and communitiesResources Mentioned in This Episode: Malashock Dance – San Diego-based dance organization emphasizing community, education, and inclusive performance Dance for PD – A program using dance to support those living with Parkinson's disease Prebys' Healing Through Arts and Nature Initiative – Grants improving well-being through arts, culture, and nature Take Action: Move Your Body – Try a dance class, stretch to music, or just let yourself move freely.

Host: Robyn Engelson Guest: Kassi Kincaid Episode Summary: In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Kassi Kincaid, speaker, trainer, author, and founder of Book Days, an international children's literacy movement, to explore how creativity isn't just for artists, it's a powerful tool for leadership, innovation, and personal growth. Kassi shares her journey of turning a small passion project into a global mission, and reveals how reconnecting with your creative spark can lead to breakthroughs in both your career and your confidence. We dive deep into: What a creative mindset really is (hint: it's about perspective, not talent) Why most adults lose their creativity—and how to get it back The 5-step framework that helps you turn ideas into action How childhood joy holds clues to your purpose today The confidence-creation connection—and how small steps fuel big change Whether you're feeling stuck, burnt out, or disconnected from your spark, this episode is your reminder: creativity isn't lost, it's waiting to be reawakened. You'll learn: What a Creative Mindset Really Is Discover why creativity isn't just artistic talent—it's a way of seeing possibilities, solving problems, and leading with vision in any role. How to Reignite Your Inner Spark Uncover why most adults lose their creative genius—and how reconnecting with your childhood passions can unlock purpose and joy. Kassi's 5-Step Creativity Framework Learn how to move from idea to action with Kassi's simple, powerful cycle: Imagine → Pursue → Overcome → Rest → Reflect.

How to Lead Creatively at Any Level Discover why creativity is the secret weapon of impactful leadership—and how to apply it whether you're a CEO or just starting out. Why Rest is a Creative Practice Burnout blocks brilliance. Learn why stepping back is not quitting—but a vital part of the creative process. From Passion to Global Impact Be inspired by Kassi's journey from a small classroom initiative to a global literacy movement, and what it teaches us about dreaming big. Memorable Quotes: "Creativity isn't missing, it's waiting. And confidence is how you unlock it." "You don't have to be an artist to be creative. You just have to be curious." "Joy is productive. If it lights you up, it leads you somewhere important." "Most big ideas start small. The magic is in taking the first step." "Your inner child doesn't want you to be perfect, just present." "Rest isn't a break from creativity. It's a vital part of it." "Creative confidence is built, not born. One brave idea at a time." Resources & Mentions: Nonprofit Initiative: Book Days – A global children's literacy movement founded by Kassi, dedicated to inspiring creativity and reading joy in kids around the world. Creativity Framework: The 5-Step Creativity Cycle – Kassi's practical model to spark and sustain creativity: Imagine → Pursue → Overcome → Rest → Reflect Key Concept: Creative Confidence – The belief that your ideas matter, and that small steps can lead to bold innovation—no matter your profession. Professional Titles: Speaker | Trainer | Author | Founder of Book Days Actionable Steps for Listeners: 1. Reconnect with Your Inner Child Think back to what made you feel most alive as a child—drawing, building, storytelling, dancing? Write down 2–3 activities that brought you joy, and explore how they can show up in your adult life today. 2. Identify Where You're Playing Small Ask yourself: “Where am I holding back creative ideas because I'm afraid they're not good enough?” Choose one area and take a small, low-stakes action (e.g., pitch that idea, start that project, share your perspective). 3. Use the 5-Step Creativity Cycle Apply Kassi's framework in your work or personal life this week: Imagine → Pursue → Overcome → Rest → Reflect Start with just one idea. Don't aim for perfect—aim for progress. 4. Practice Creative Confidence Daily Each day, do one thing that affirms your creativity: Say a creative affirmation (“My ideas are valid”) Set a 10-minute timer and journal freely Try something new, even if you're not “good” at it 5. Rest Without Guilt Schedule intentional breaks where you disconnect from productivity. Creativity flourishes when you allow space. Let rest be part of your process, not a reward after burnout. 6. Start Small, Dream Big Kassi began Book Days with 50 kids—it now impacts 20,000+. Write down one small, meaningful action you can take this week toward a bigger dream or passion project. Final Thought: You were born creative and that spark never left you. It's not about being artistic; it's about seeing the world with curiosity, courage, and heart. Creativity begins when you give yourself permission to imagine more and trust your ideas. Whether you're leading a team, launching a project, or just trying to feel like yourself again, your creativity is your power. Start small. Honor your joy. And remember: confidence doesn't come first, it's built through every step you take. The world doesn't need a perfect version of you—it needs your true one. So go create something only you can. What listeners have to say: Kassi Kincaid's episode is sparking creative breakthroughs for professionals, educators, and leaders who thought they had “lost” their spark. Alyssa R., an elementary school teacher, said reconnecting with her childhood love of storytelling reminded her why she started teaching in the first place, and inspired her to launch a classroom reading project. David L., a product manager, shared that Kassi's 5-step creativity framework gave him the courage to finally pitch an idea he'd been sitting on for months—and it led to a new innovation initiative at work. Renee M., a nonprofit director, reflected on how Kassi's insight about “rest being part of the creative process” helped her step back from burnout and return to work with clarity and purpose. These stories remind us: creativity isn't a talent—it's a tool. And it's available to all of us, at any time. Now it's your turn: What moment, quote, or idea from Kassi's story helped you see yourself, or your work differently? We'd love to hear from you.

Launch Your Box Podcast with Sarah Williams | Start, Launch, and Grow Your Subscription Box
If you've ever found yourself dreading the “J months” of January, June, and July, you're not alone. A lot of subscription box owners and product-based business owners see these as slow, even sluggish seasons. But what if that mindset is the very thing holding you back? In this episode of the Launch Your Box podcast, I'm sharing a mindset reset, practical list-building strategies, and five real sales ideas to help you beat the summer slump and build serious momentum heading into fall. Because here's the truth: you don't have to coast through summer. Because your success this fall starts with what you're doing right now. The Real Reason the “J Months” Feel Slow I recently heard a speaker say, “The J months are just bad for business.”And my first thought? That's the problem right there. These months are not the problem. But how you show up for them might be. As subscription box owners, we often scale back our marketing, stop sending emails, and lower our energy during these months. And guess what? That creates the slowdown we feared. The J months aren't cursed. They're just different. The key isn't to disappear. It's to show up differently. Build Now to Launch Your Subscription Box Strong Later When other business owners are quiet, you have a chance to stand out. This is the time to grow your following and build your list so your next subscription box launch is stronger than ever. Here's how to stay visible and connected all summer long: Share sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes content Reconnect with your “why” and invite your audience in Offer a summer opt-in like a checklist, quiz, or guide Run a giveaway to build your list Start or grow your waitlist Send 1–2 nurture emails per week What you do now will directly impact your future sales and your next launch. 5 Sales Strategies to Beat the Summer Slump If you want to drive revenue during the J months, try one (or more!) of these proven strategies: This is your prep season, your brand-building season, your relationship-deepening season.

June is one of those months that brings transition, whether we're ready or not. Graduations. Summer silence. Shifting routines. Maybe your mornings are quieter. Maybe you're packing up a college dorm room or realizing this is the first summer you won't be coordinating swim meets and snack schedules. And in the quiet, something stirs, an ache, a question, maybe even a little fear. Who am I now? What's next? Will it always feel this empty? Three Simple Ways to Reconnect with Yourself Let me give you three gentle ways to begin: 1. Reflect on What Still Brings You Joy Think back, what did you love before your days revolved around schedules and snacks? Was it reading? Painting? Volunteering? Start small. Reconnect with something that felt like you. 2. Create One New Summer Rhythm Not a to-do list—a rhythm. A morning walk, a journal practice, coffee with a friend. Something that nourishes you. 3. Talk to God About Who You're Becoming This isn't just a new season. It's a new invitation. Ask: Lord, who am I now? Who are You calling me to be?

Are You Speaking to Their Greatness or Their Deficiencies? This conversation challenged me in the best way—and I think it will challenge you too. I sat down with relationship coaches Jocelyn and Aaron Freeman, and we didn't hold back. We got into the real, unfiltered truth about what makes a relationship thrive and what quietly breaks it down over time. And I'll be honest—I learned a lot about myself in this one. We talked about why most couples argue the same way every time, how we start talking to our partner's flaws instead of their potential, and how easy it is to stop being curious about the person we love the most. That hit me hard. Because curiosity? It's not just a phase when you're dating—it's a choice. When you stay curious, people become more interesting. And when you stop being interested, they stop showing you who they really are. One of the most important takeaways: the “5 Rs” the Freemans teach—Reflect, Responsibility, Reconnect, Remind, Reconcile. It's a practical framework that helps couples come back from conflict stronger. But what stood out even more was this mindset they kept coming back to: we're on the same team. That phrase alone has the power to stop an argument in its tracks and realign a relationship that feels like it's drifting apart. This episode is packed with real tools, honest moments, and a whole lot of heart. If you're in a relationship—new or decades deep—there's something here for you. You're either training your partner that this is a safe space to share… or you're teaching them to keep it all inside. That's the choice. And I want you to choose connection. Key Takeaways: The most damaging part of conflict isn't the argument—it's the lack of repair after. Learn the 5 Rs to recover and reconnect after a disagreement. “Speaking to your partner's greatness” builds them up and strengthens your bond. Curiosity is the secret to keeping relationships alive and engaging. One person can spark change, but both have to sustain it. You don't have to end the relationship to end the version of it that isn't working. Let this episode be the spark. Listen with your partner. Talk about it. And remember—you're on the same team.
Modern life has made friendship feel more confusing, fragile, and isolating than ever. In this episode, journalist and author Anna Goldfarb joins us to unpack the paradox of modern friendship — why we're lonelier despite being more connected, and what we can do to build stronger, more fulfilling relationships. Anna shares her “Triple D” framework (Desire, Diligence, Delight) and breaks down the hidden architecture of great friendships: clear aboutness, healthy compartmentalization, emotional maturity, and the courage to reconnect. Whether you're tired of being everyone's unpaid therapist or simply wondering how to revive a drifting connection, this episode gives you the practical tools and emotional insight to reset your social life — no cringe required. What to Listen For [00:00] Why affection alone isn't enough for deep friendship [00:01:09] What's changed about adult friendships — and why we're feeling more disconnected [00:04:16] The hidden cost of unlimited choice and hyper-individualism [00:08:07] Active vs. nostalgic friendships: how to tell the difference [00:11:19] Every great friendship has an “About” — and here's how to find yours [00:14:39] 6 hard truths about friendship (and how to stop blaming yourself) [00:23:01] Why emotional maturity is the new social skillset [00:33:56] The Triple D framework for building strong friendships [00:44:10] How to avoid being an unpaid therapist (and stop pushing people away) [00:52:34] The Friendship Cleanse: reset your network with clarity and care Episode Takeaways: Connection isn't about quantity — it's about clear shared meaning. Find your friendship “About.” It's okay to compartmentalize your relationships. Not every friend needs to be your everything. Friendships require maintenance. If it matters, don't let the silence stretch too long. Maturity means asking: am I showing up the way I want to be treated? Most people want to reconnect. They're just waiting on someone to go first. Make time for delight. Reignite friendships by creating new shared memories — not just rehashing old ones.

What happens when a "perfect" relationship hits its first major conflict? In this powerful examination of Song of Solomon chapter 5, we explore the moment when everything goes wrong between two people who deeply love each other. The passage takes us right to the heart of relationship breakdown – he arrives home late, she's prepared for an intimate evening but chooses resentment over reconciliation, and what could have been resolved with a few steps to the door becomes a painful journey through the city streets seeking restoration. It's a story that feels uncomfortably familiar to anyone who has ever chosen pride over forgiveness.Through this ancient text, we uncover six relationship problems that still plague us today: prioritizing work over presence, questioning if someone deserves our kindness, the painful irony of longing for space until we get it, pursuing reconnection when someone is unavailable, experiencing unexpected trauma, and watching private struggles become public pain. But more importantly, we discover God's four-step blueprint for healing broken relationships: Repent, Reconcile, Reconnect, and Renew.What makes this message so powerful isn't just its practical wisdom for marriage and friendships, but how it reveals God's heart for reconciliation. When we understand that our own relationship with God follows this same pattern – where He pursues us despite our closed doors and cold hearts – we gain a new perspective on forgiveness. We're reminded that Christ didn't just tell us to fix our relationships; He showed us how by becoming "a friend of sinners" who reconciles us to Himself.Whether you're navigating marriage difficulties, friendship tensions, or family conflicts, this message offers both practical tools for fighting fair and the spiritual foundation for lasting reconciliation. Because ultimately, the goal isn't winning arguments but experiencing the righteousness of God in our relationships.

If you've been waiting for the perfect moment to reach out, this episode is your sign to stop waiting and start reconnecting. What to Listen For [00:00:00] Why reconnection matters—and why it feels harder than it actually is [00:03:00] Why people appreciate surprise check-ins more than you think [00:04:30] Strategy #1: The Expert Tap—ask for advice to reignite respect [00:06:30] Strategy #2: The Thoughtful Share—send content that reflects shared interests [00:08:30] Strategy #3: The Nostalgia Spark—use memories to bring back connection [00:09:30] Strategy #4: The Results Loop—follow up on past advice to show impact [00:10:30] Why mentors love hearing the outcome of their guidance [00:12:00] This week's challenge: Reconnect with 3 people using any strategy Episode Takeaways Most people love being contacted out of the blue, even if it's been years Rebuilding old relationships is often faster and more impactful than making new ones Use the Expert Tap to ask for advice—it shows respect and reignites connection Send a Thoughtful Share (article, podcast, project) to rekindle shared interests Trigger warm emotions through Nostalgia Sparks—photos or throwback memories Close the Results Loop by showing how someone's past advice helped you Reaching out adds real value to others' lives and strengthens your network long-term This week: reconnect with one friend, one mentor, and one former coworker Learn more about your ad choices.

Does sex feel like a chore to you? According to 86% of our audience? Yes. Maybe sex doesn't feel great. Maybe it it's more about your partner getting their needs met than you. Maybe it's just started to feel like another thing to check off your list. But maybe the issue isn't sex at all. Maybe it's that you're carrying too much — between the keeping the household running (and kind of clean), parenting logistics, and the weight of every single thing it takes to adult… It's not that sex is a chore: it's that chores are sabotaging your sex life! In this episode, we're breaking down how mental load affects desire, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction (spoiler alert: a lot more than you think).
