Podcasts about Reconnect

We all lose our temper sometimes. That's part of being human—and part of being a mom. But what happens next matters most. Because repair, not perfection, is what builds real trust with our kids. In this week's episode, I'm joined by Devon Kuntzman from Transforming Toddlerhood to talk about one of the most healing and hopeful skills a parent can learn: how to reconnect after those hard moments. Devon shares a simple, four-step framework for circling back after we've yelled or overreacted—so instead of getting stuck in guilt, we can model accountability, empathy, and growth. Even though Devon primarily teaches parents of toddlers, this conversation applies beautifully to kids of all ages (trust me—my teen and tween are proof!). In this episode, you'll learn:

É possível ser feliz no trabalho? Essa pergunta, que parece tirada de um cartaz de RH com fonte Comic Sans e fundo azul piscina de bolinhas, foi o ponto de partida da minha conversa com a Renata Rivetti, especialista na ciência da felicidade e fundadora da Reconnect. Mas calma, aqui felicidade não é clichê motivacional. Não tem dancinha nem Sonho de Valsa como recompensa por bater a meta.A gente falou sobre o que significa, de fato, ter uma relação mais saudável com o trabalho. E já começamos mandando a real: a empresa não tem que te fazer feliz. Mas ela também não pode ser mais um fator de desgaste da sua saúde mental.A Renata explica como a ideia de felicidade foi sequestrada por discursos que vendem alegria constante como sinônimo de sucesso. E isso, longe de ajudar, tem deixado todo mundo mais ansioso, mais cansado e mais frustrado. Felicidade, de verdade, tem mais a ver com três coisas: alegria (sim, mas não o tempo todo), satisfação (ter metas, sentir que está realizando algo) e significado (entender que o que você faz importa, mesmo que não seja salvar as baleias).Falamos também sobre o papel do Chief Happiness Officer — não como animador de festa corporativa, mas como um cargo estratégico que olha pra sobrecarga, pra segurança psicológica, pra cultura de bem-estar que vai muito além de sexta-feira da bermuda. Ah, e se você acha que isso é coisa de empresa “Nutella”, Renata traz dados, estudos e exemplos práticos que mostram como ambientes saudáveis dão resultado, sim.Ainda rolou papo sobre semana de quatro dias, ghost working, dopamina rápida, cultura da produtividade tóxica e aquele velho conhecido: o culto ao workaholic. Um episódio para repensar não só o trabalho, mas a vida que a gente está construindo em volta dele.O Boa Noite Internet é uma publicação apoiada por pessoas como você, nosso público.

The Pleasure Zone with Milica Jelenic - Diamond Host Reconnecting to your body can feel both exciting and terrifying. Yet when we ignore the body, we block pleasure. Your body holds memories, emotions, and the wisdom of sensual aliveness and learning what not to do when returning to it makes the process safe and sustainable. We'll explore five common mistakes people make when trying to reconnect to their body, including forcing sensations, over-efforting, and comparing themselves to others. You'll learn how to approach pleasure gently, with curiosity instead of expectation. We look at both what works and what doesn't work when reconnecting to your body for pleasure.

What if our bodies like to be pleasing and to gift pleasure to others and to receive pleasure? In this show we will explore the world of pleasure. If your body was sensing pleasure more often would your life have more ease? We start out with magical little bodies that turn on everybody. Babies are always having people come up to them and compliment them on their beauty and get really excited to be in their presence.

Can I be honest? I sat down to record this episode with absolutely nothing. Zero inspiration. My first thought? "Great, Tami. You teach people about alignment and you can't even show up for your own work." But here's what I realized: that feeling wasn't writer's block. It was my soul tapping me on the shoulder saying, "We need to talk." And if you're listening to this feeling the exact same way about your leadership right now—like you're going through the motions but can't remember the last time you felt truly connected to why it matters—this episode is for you.

In this episode of Wild Connection, Dr. Jennifer Verdolin speaks with author and essayist Tamara Dean, whose book Shelter and Storm: At Home in the Driftless explores what it means to live in relationship with a place. From the beauty and hardship of rural Wisconsin to the floods, fires, and tornadoes that test both landscape and spirit, Dean shares how community, storytelling, and attentive living can transform adversity into belonging. In this episode we reflect on the practice of slowing down, listening to the land, and learning from the species who share it with us. Our conversation also reveals how small acts like writing a neighbor's story after a flood or watching fireflies are opportunities for connection and renewal.

Our teenage years were the bridge between innocence and identity, the time we began to discover who we are, what we believe, and how we express ourselves. For many of us, our teenage self still carries pain, shame, rebellion, or unmet needs that quietly shape how we show up in love, confidence, and emotional regulation today. In this episode of AbundanceHack, we dive deep into healing our inner teenager, the version of us who wanted to be seen, accepted, and free to express our truth. I share eight powerful reasons why healing our inner teenager is one of the most transformational things we can do for our emotional and relational wellbeing. Together, we explore how this healing work helps us: Stop abandoning ourselves when we feel misunderstood Reclaim our authentic voice Soften rebellion into grounded self-trust Release shame Improve relationships and emotional regulation Reconnect with passion, creativity, and joy Break generational patterns of silencing Make peace with both our sensitivity and our strength This is an episode to feel, not just listen to.

Today I'm delighted to welcome back Elizabeth Glenn-Copeland who previously joined me to share her amazing wisdom and some of her soulful poetry from her incredible book Daring To Hope at the Cliff's Edge in Episode 35. Elizabeth is currently on a UK and Europe tour with her composer husband Beverly Glenn-Copeland, if you have the opportunity to see them live then I highly recommend it.

From gratitude and honouring the pain we witness in ourselves and the world around us, to finding a new story and vision to hold as we move forward and write the future for the earth and humanity that we want to bring into being. Remember Hope is a verb, it is meant to be active not passive, it is a practice that we must tend daily to cultivate the change we want to see in our world.Learn more about  ElizabethElizabeth Glenn-Copeland is a writer, theatre maker and arts educator whose career over the last forty years has evolved at the intersection of arts and activism.

Whether you send a text, make a quick call, or reach out to someone who's been on your heart, this small act can make a big difference.

Most men today are overworked, overstimulated, and spiritually malnourished. We chase productivity but neglect silence. We build muscle but forget the soul. In this powerful continuation of our conversation from part 1, we cut through the noise and get back to the basics of what it means to live as a Catholic warrior. Fr. Dom shares hard truths about what men must reclaim if we're going to lead our families and defend the Faith. From the forgotten power of fasting and retreats to the reality of priestly warfare and spiritual combat, this episode calls every man to rise and take his place in the ranks of Christ's army.We talk about everything from cold plunges and physical discipline to the beauty and meaning of the Latin Mass vestments, the sacredness of the priesthood, and why knowledge of the liturgy can reignite your love for the Eucharist. Fr. Dom also opens up about his athletic past, his experiences in triathlons and endurance racing, and how physical discipline shapes spiritual virtue.And perhaps most powerfully, he breaks down the priest's calling with raw honesty: what it costs, what it demands, and why true priesthood is a battlefield. Every man, husband, father, or priest, is called to be a warrior for souls.You'll hear:Why men must take at least one silent retreat every year.How fasting, prayer, and physical struggle forge spiritual discipline.The danger of spiritual laziness among priests and laity alike.What it really means to discern the priesthood as a man of God.Why we must pray and fast for our priests more than ever.The Church doesn't need passive men. She needs holy warriors.CHALLENGE: Find time this month to enter into silence with God. Unplug completely. No phone. No distractions. Just Scripture, a journal, and prayer. Let Him speak. And then—fast and pray for your parish priest this week.PRODUCTS / REFERENCES MENTIONED:Exodus 90 (ascetic men's program)FSSP (Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter)Calvary (2014 film, starring Brendan Gleeson)3 POWERFUL QUOTES:“If you want to fight in a supernatural battle, to be a warrior for Christ, you need to know that you will die. Few are called, fewer are chosen.”“You can be a vicious warrior and still be gentle and kind and have peace and joy. That's what it means to be a Christian soldier.”“Take a retreat. Reconnect with your Captain. Reestablish your lines with the General. You can't fight if you've lost contact with your Commander.”KEY TAKEAWAY: A Catholic man must embrace silence, fasting, and prayer as weapons of spiritual warfare. Without discipline of body and soul, he is unarmed in battle.Send us a text Support the showPlease prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our Buy Me A Coffee page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

In this episode of Becoming Unshakeable, I sit down with Jim Matuga, Founder of InnerAction Media, to explore a side of leadership that often goes unspoken: followership.  Jim brings a refreshing perspective that challenges the assumption that leadership is the only role worth aspiring to. Instead, he makes a compelling case for the power of humility, steadfastness, and the influence that comes from being an excellent follower. For him, excellence and mediocrity cannot coexist, and creating a culture that values both leaders and followers is essential for building organizations that thrive. Jim shares stories from his own career, including the moment he realized that having a title doesn't mean you are equipped to lead. Being thrust into leadership without preparation forced him to confront his own shortcomings and inspired him to dedicate decades to studying, practicing, and teaching leadership grounded in service. He discusses the weekly culture conversations he holds with his team, drawing on lessons from John Maxwell and his own experiences, to ensure that values don't just hang on the wall but are lived out in everyday practice.  One of the most potent parts of our conversation is Jim's story of intentionally removing the lid on his business. He set a goal to build a company that would not rely on him by 2030, which meant facing uncomfortable truths, opening the books, and developing successors. That level of transparency and trust not only changed the company's culture but also allowed his team to thrive in new ways. Jim also shares his "10 percent rule," the idea that under challenging conversations, the most essential truth often goes unspoken. Learning to voice that final 10 percent, he believes, is where leaders find real breakthroughs. As we close, Jim reflects on how he stays grounded in times of chaos. For him, faith, discipline, and a holistic focus on health, relationships, and purpose keep him steady when circumstances are uncertain. His message to anyone who feels like they are barely holding it together is to act with intentionality.  Reconnect with your purpose, take one step forward, and trust that progress will come from movement. This conversation is a powerful reminder that becoming unshakeable is not about perfection or position; it's about embracing resilience. It is about humility, resilience, and the daily practice of choosing excellence and equipping others to rise alongside you.

In this heart-opening and honest conversation, Brie and Ali explore the depths of the feminine awakening — both as individuals and as women living in a world that has long repressed the sacred feminine. The episode begins with grounding breathwork to drop into presence before diving into what it truly means to live in one's feminine essence.Ali shares her desire to be fully led by the masculine — to surrender into trust and safety with a partner who can hold and guide her. Brie expresses her longing to live in creativity, ceremony, connection with nature, and community with other women. Together, they explore how honoring the rhythms of the menstrual cycle reconnects us to our bodies, our intuition, and our inner power — and how men can show up in loving support through those cycles.The discussion moves through history and healing, unpacking how patriarchal systems twisted women's ancient roles as healers and midwives into something feared, punished, or erased. The two discuss how modern medicine still neglects the female body, leaving women to rediscover and reclaim their wisdom through self-awareness and sisterhood.Brie and Ali also touch on the energetic dynamics between the masculine and feminine in relationships — how they are meant to dance in balance and devotion, yet often find themselves in conflict due to misunderstanding or repression. This conversation is a reclamation — of softness, of power, of intuition, and of the sacred rhythms that make being in a feminine body so extraordinary.Because we just want to be held while we heal the world. Is that so much to ask? Topics Covered:Grounding breathwork and presenceWhat “being in our feminine” means to each of usTrust, surrender, and the safety of the masculineLiving in creative flow, ceremony, and communityHonoring menstrual cycles and hormone wisdomHow men can support women through cyclical shiftsThe historical repression of women and the witch woundMedicine's disregard for the female bodyThe global call for feminine awakeningRelationship dynamics between feminine and masculine energiesListen if you're ready to:Reconnect with your body's natural rhythmDeepen your understanding of feminine and masculine balanceHeal the ancestral wound of feminine suppressionCall your power and softness home✨ The Feminine is rising — and she's asking us to remember who we've always been.Connect with Your Cosmic Guides: Briana Christine: TikTok | Instagram Ali: TikTok | Instagram Join the Cosmic Community: Follow Cosmic Injectables for more episodes filled with spiritual insights, laughter, and a touch of magic.

Parenting doesn't end when your kids grow up — it just changes. And for many, that shift can be confusing, frustrating, and even painful. How do you move from being the authority to being a supportive "peer"? And what do you do when your hopes for your adult children don't align with who they've become?

Drawing on decades of research, therapy, and her own lived experience, Dr. Toder shares practical wisdom on how to navigate this often-overlooked stage of family life. You'll learn how to let go, listen with empathy, and focus on your own growth while building stronger, healthier relationships with your adult kids — and perhaps, rediscovering yourself in the process.

Hey, everybody—it's Monday, September 29, and this is your Monday Motivation Podcast by FWACATA.What's up, heathens? You sweaty, creative masses of chaos? Yeah, that thing that happened—wild, right? I mean, I don't know what happened, because I pre-recorded this. But thanks to the internet's nonstop firehose of madness, I'm sure something insane just went down. So now it sounds like I know what's happening. See how that works? “Dude, did you SEE that shit?” Boom. Timeless.Anyway. Welcome back to the other Monday Motivation—the one where we drag your creative bird out of bed, slap it around a little, pour some coffee on it, and shove it back into the ring.Today's episode? Creative Reboots.Restarting stalled projects with fresh energy.Here's a confession: I have drawers—literal drawers—of half-finished comics, folders of “someday novels,” Google Docs of script fragments, and sketchbooks that look like serial killer ransom notes. Every time I open them, these projects look up at me like, “Bro, remember us? You abandoned us like a Tamagotchi in '98.”We all have them. Projects that start hot—burning like first love—and then three weeks later you're wondering: Why the hell did I think a 400-page Gundam-meets-Full-Metal-Jacket-meets-Mad-Max comic was a good idea? (Spoiler: it wasn't. But I still tried.)Creative projects are like relationships. They start steamy. You doodle hearts around their name. Then reality shows up like a chaperone at prom, and you're sitting in the corner with your unfinished script, not even getting to second base.So what do you do? How do you reboot?Look at your project like it's someone else's. Pretend you found it in a thrift store. What's cool about it? What sucks? Sometimes distance gives you fresh eyes. Go get a coffee. Go stare at a wall. Hell, go smoke a cigarette if that's still your thing. Come back. You'll see it differently.Maybe the project stalled not because it sucks—but because you made it too damn big. Instead of a 400-page epic, make it a 12-page comic. Instead of a novel, a short story. Instead of a film, a TikTok. Give yourself permission to shrink it. Small wins build momentum.If you're stuck, switch the medium. Writing on a laptop? Try pen and paper. Painting with acrylics? Try markers, charcoal, Photoshop—hell, carve it into a potato if you have to. Creativity thrives on novelty. Sometimes the project isn't stuck—you are.Ask yourself: Why did I start this? Was it the story? The character? The mood? Go back to the original spark. I make soundtracks for my projects—yeah, actual playlists. When I hear certain songs, I remember what I wanted the story to feel like, and suddenly, boom—the fire's back.A reboot doesn't mean you finish it tomorrow. It means breathing life back into it. One sketch. One page. One note. That's CPR for your project.Look—unfinished doesn't mean failed. It just means paused. You can hit “play” again anytime. And if it really is dead? That's okay too. Bury it, honor it, and move on. Not every sketch becomes a masterpiece. But every sketch leads somewhere.So this week: dust off one stalled project. Give it a reboot. Look at it with new eyes. Shrink it down. Switch your tools. Reconnect with your why. Do something. Anything. And maybe, just maybe, that creative corpse gets back up and dances.That's it for today's Monday Motivation.

Scale It Down.3. Change the Tools.4. Reconnect with the “Why.”5. Celebrate Progress, Not Perfection.

What happens when the very life you worked so hard to build starts suffocating your spirit? In this powerful episode of The Abundance Journey, Elaine Starling, The Abundance Ambassador, sits down with former attorney turned soul-aligned entrepreneur Tammara Nicole Garner. After checking all the boxes of traditional success, Tammara realized that what looked perfect on paper was costing her something far more precious—her alignment with her soul. Her courageous reinvention led her to create the 12 Guiding Stars System, a transformational framework that blends strategy and intuition to help women—especially in midlife—rediscover who they truly are beneath the roles they've been conditioned to play. If you've ever felt like your success was secretly breaking your spirit, this episode is your invitation to release the hustle, reconnect with your soul's desires, and step into a life of clarity, courage, and deep personal meaning. About the Guest:(bio, personal links, resource links)Tammara-Nicole Gardner is a former attorney turned personal development author, speaker,and soul-aligned entrepreneur. After years of living a life that looked “successful” on the outside but left her spiritually depleted, she embarked on a journey of deep reinvention. Her signature 12 Guiding Stars System was born from that transformation—blending her analytical mind with her intuitive heart. Today, she teaches her system to others, with a special focus on empowering women in midlife to re-design their lives to reflect who they truly are, not who they've been conditioned to be.
