igen.En: They would keep in touch and rebuild their friendship.Sv: Stormen hade rensat luften i dubbel bemärkelse och de kände sig både nöjda och hoppfulla.En: The storm had cleared the air in more

Neste episódio do Pra Não Passar em Branco, a gente abre espaço para falar sobre a felicidade de forma ampla: não só como um estado emocional, mas como direito, como escolha possível, como prática cotidiana mesmo nos dias difíceis.Recebemos Renata Rivetti, pesquisadora do tema, especialista em felicidade corporativa e fundadora da Reconnect. Uma mulher que estuda profundamente o bem-estar humano, especialmente no trabalho, e que nos lembra que ser feliz não é privilégio, é um caminho que se constrói com presença, propósito e coragem.Falamos sobre modelos de trabalho, saúde emocional, pequenos rituais que sustentam a alegria e a importância de não romantizar, mas também não desistir.Porque talvez a felicidade seja isso mesmo: um jeito mais gentil de seguir em frente.
Episode 349: "Be Still and Create—How Faith, Focus, and Less Consumption Lead to True Artistic Alignment" Hey friend, have you ever felt like your creative fire is dimming—no matter how hard you hustle? Like you're practicing, posting, teaching, scrolling… and yet something inside still feels off? In this week's episode, we're pressing pause on the noise to talk about how slowing down and tuning into God's voice can reignite your artistry from the inside out. I get it—you're juggling your flute students, auditions, business goals, and maybe even burnout. But what if the next level of your music career doesn't come from doing more—but from being still? In this conversation, I share how I learned to stop consuming endless content (hello, doom scrolling) and start creating from a place of peace, focus, and faith. Together, we'll talk about how to: Reconnect to your artistry through stillness and prayer Recognize when you're overconsuming instead of creating Find clarity and focus by "plugging into" God's direction Let go of frantic productivity and embrace purpose-driven creativity So pour a cup of tea, find a quiet corner, and come sit with me. You'll leave this episode feeling lighter, more centered, and ready to create from a place of alignment—not anxiety.

In this episode of the Schofield Chiropractic Training MoChihChu Podcast, Dr. Fred and Dr. FJ unpack one of the most overlooked truths of modern chiropractic, and life: we've become too comfortable. Through stories of fearless kids, African safaris, and the ancient wisdom of the Bushmen, the Schofields explore what happens when comfort dulls our hunger and weakens our meaning. From crocodile-filled rivers to thorn-bush fences, Dr. Fred paints vivid lessons about courage, mentorship, and the necessity of discomfort to create depth and purpose in practice. The conversation flows from the toughness of the Himba tribes to the mental discipline required to run a thriving chiropractic office. Dr. Fred reminds us that every strong practice, like every thorn bush, must have boundaries that protect its energy, and every chiropractor must rediscover their own why. Dr. FJ breaks it down practically: health, energy, and consistent action are the foundation of resilience. Without vitality, you can't sustain the intensity needed to build something great. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone coasting through life or practice. Comfort might feel good, but it never grows you. "When we have no adversity, we invent it. So train your mind and body with hard things, then real challenges feel small." – Dr. FJ Schofield Weekly Action Steps: Do One Hard Thing: Choose a daily challenge—cold shower, morning run, tough conversation—and face it head-on. Find Your Thorn Bush: Identify what boundaries protect your purpose. Where are you letting distractions or predators in? Reconnect with Meaning: Write down why you started. Post it where you can see it every day. Build Energy to Build Impact: Move your body, nourish yourself, and show up to your practice with vitality. Because hunger starts the journey—but meaning keeps you charging. Listen, share, and rise above comfort. Keep Charging Rhinos! MoChihChu! Moving Forward without Hesitation!

Is your partner your teammate… or just your roommate? Kate Mason dives deep into why so many loving couples start to feel emotionally disconnected—not because of conflict, but because of neglect.

From emotional numbness to genuine connection, this powerful episode with David Chambers dives into one of the quiet epidemics among modern men — disconnection from their feelings. When men can't access or express emotion, it ripples through everything: relationships, purpose, friendships, and even self-worth. In this deeply practical and grounded conversation, David reveals the real cost of emotional disconnection — and how learning to feel again is the key to living with meaning, aliveness, and authentic masculine strength. He breaks down simple, tangible practices to help men reconnect to their emotions, regulate their nervous systems, and build genuine presence in their lives. Too often, men try to "think" their way through life — but as David shows, real growth starts when we drop out of our heads and back into our bodies.

Transcript:Da: Det var en kølig efterårsdag, da Mikkel satte sig i toget mod sin hjemby.En: It was a cool autumn day when Mikkel sat on the train toward his hometown.Da: Bladene havde fået sine gyldne farver, og som toget gled gennem landskabet, blev han mindet om de mange efterår, han havde tilbragt i byen.En: The leaves had turned their golden colors, and as the train slid through the landscape, he was reminded of the many autumns he had spent in the town.Da: Det var længe siden, han sidst havde sat sine ben i de velkendte gader.En: It had been a long time since he last set foot in the familiar streets.Da: Men denne gang var det anderledes.En: But this time was different.Da: Denne gang kom han for at stemme i en vigtig valg og vise, at han stadig var en del af fællesskabet.En: This time he came to vote in an important election and show that he was still part of the community.Da: Mikkel havde efterladt byen for nogle år siden.En: Mikkel had left the town a few years ago.Da: Han havde valgt karrierens vej i storbyen.En: He had chosen the path of a career in the big city.Da: Men der hjemme tænkte han ofte på Freja.En: But at home, he often thought of Freja.Da: Hun var blevet i byen.En: She had stayed in the town.Da: Hun var en som alle kendte, en der organiserede lokale begivenheder, et ansigt med en altid venligt smil.En: She was someone everyone knew, someone who organized local events, a face with an always friendly smile.Da: Da Mikkel gik mod valgstedet, mærkede han en nervøsitet i maven.En: As Mikkel walked toward the polling station, he felt a nervousness in his stomach.Da: Skolen, hvor valgstedet lå, var pyntet med græskar og farverige guirlander.En: The school, where the polling station was located, was decorated with pumpkins and colorful garlands.Da: Han kunne høre hvisken fra folk, der talte lavmælt med naboer og venner.En: He could hear whispers from people speaking quietly with neighbors and friends.Da: Følelsen af fællesskab hang tungt i luften.En: The feeling of community hung heavily in the air.Da: Indenfor i gymnastiksalen genkendte han straks det velkendte syn af barndommens skole.En: Inside the gymnasium, he immediately recognized the familiar sight of his childhood school.Da: Borde og stole var stillet op, og valgplakater prydede væggene.En: Tables and chairs were set up, and campaign posters adorned the walls.Da: Årene var gået, men stedet var uforandret.En: Years had passed, but the place was unchanged.Da: Forude i køen så han Freja.En: Ahead in the queue, he saw Freja.Da: Hun hilste varmt og gik ham i møde.En: She greeted him warmly and came to meet him.Da: "Mikkel!"En: "Mikkel!"Da: sagde hun med et stort smil.En: she said with a big smile.Da: "Det er godt at se dig."En: "It's good to see you."Da: "I lige måde, Freja," svarede han og krammede hende.En: "Same here, Freja," he replied and hugged her.Da: "Jeg er ked af, at jeg er blevet væk."En: "I'm sorry I've been away."Da: Frejas øjne lyste af forståelse.En: Freja's eyes shone with understanding.Da: "Vi har alle vores veje," sagde hun blidt.En: "We all have our paths," she said gently.Da: "Men det er vigtigt, at du er her nu.En: "But it's important that you're here now.Da: Det betyder meget for byen, at du kommer for at stemme."En: It means a lot to the town that you've come to vote."Da: Deres samtale gik fra munter til alvorlig, da de talte om de udfordringer, byen stod overfor.En: Their conversation turned from cheerful to serious as they talked about the challenges the town faced.Da: Boligerne, jobmulighederne, og de unge, der forlod byen for aldrig at vende tilbage.En: The housing, job opportunities, and the young people who left the town never to return.Da: Mikkel lyttede, og han følte en fornyet forpligtelse til at forsøge at gøre en forskel.En: Mikkel listened, and he felt a renewed obligation to try to make a difference.Da: Efter samtalen bevægede han sig mod stemmeboksen.En: After the conversation, he moved toward the voting booth.Da: Papiret var glat under fingrene, og med et kryds følte han en dybere forbindelse til byen.En: The paper was smooth under his fingers, and with a checkmark, he felt a deeper connection to the town.Da: Han havde troet, at han var blevet ligegyldig, men han indså, at selv en enkelt stemme kunne have betydning.En: He had thought he had become indifferent, but he realized that even a single vote could matter.Da: Da han trådte ud af skolen igen, omfavnet efterårsluften ham, og han følte en lethed i sit skridt.En: As he stepped out of the school again, the autumn air embraced him, and he felt a lightness in his step.Da: Freja fulgte ham udenfor.En: Freja followed him outside.Da: "Det var godt at se dig, Mikkel," sagde hun og tog hans hånd.En: "It was good to see you, Mikkel," she said, taking his hand.Da: "Vi burde holde kontakten."En: "We should keep in touch."Da: "Det vil jeg gerne, Freja.En: "I'd like that, Freja.Da: Jeg tror, jeg har brug for det," svarede han med et nyt håb.En: I think I need it," he replied with a newfound hope.Da: Som han gik ned ad den gamle, snoede vej, vidste Mikkel, at han kunne gøre en forskel.En: As he walked down the old, winding road, Mikkel knew that he could make a difference.Da: Ikke alene for sig selv, men for byen, for Freja, og for dem, der kom efter ham.En: Not just for himself, but for the town, for Freja, and for those who came after him.Da: Han følte sig hjemme igen.En: He felt at home again.Da: En følelse af tilhørsforhold skyllede ind over ham, stærkere end nogensinde før.En: A feeling of belonging washed over him, stronger than ever before.

Have you ever felt your ministry energy start to fade a few months into the season? That sense of slowing down, coasting, or even drifting can happen to the best of us — but it doesn't have to keep you stuck. In this episode, Eric shares some thought around why drift happens — the human, spiritual, and cultural forces that quietly pull us off course — and how we can return to the fire of mission. Show Notes / Key Points: Naming the Drift Feeling flat or coasting in ministry is normal. Drift happens when we stop intentionally moving toward mission. Key insight: to drift, we simply need to do… nothing. Scripture: Philippians 3:13-14 NRSV Why Drift Happens Human side: fatigue, busyness, and familiarity. Rest and relational honesty help restore energy. (Matthew 11:28-30) Spiritual side: losing connection to Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Abiding in Him is the source of fruitfulness. (John 15:4-5, Romans 8:26) Cultural side: pressure for constant growth and visible success. Trust God's rhythms of pruning and seasons. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-2, 2 Corinthians 4:16-18) Returning to the Fire of Mission Return to relationship: spend time with Jesus, remember your identity as a beloved child of God. (1 John 4:19, Ephesians 2:10) Reconnect with the Holy Spirit: pray for guidance, boldness, and renewed vision. (Acts 1:8, Galatians 5:16) Remember your why and who: focus on the people God has placed in your life and ministry. (Matthew 28:19-20, 1 Peter 3:15) Reflect on your witness: love is the first way people encounter the Gospel. Re-engage in community: ministry flourishes in shared life, prayer, and encouragement. (Hebrews 10:24-25, 1 Thessalonians 5:11) Closing Encouragement The Spirit who called you is still with you. You can fan the flame of your God-given gift for mission. (2 Timothy 1:6-7) Proclaim Team Resources: In-person trainings, workshops, and leadership summits to help leaders refocus on mission. Examples: Accompaniment Masterclass, Rescue Project support, Alpha parish sessions. Proclaim is a movement of the Archdiocese of Vancouver inspiring disciples to proclaim Jesus in their homes and communities. The Proclaim podcast is a space where you listen to inspiring disciples talk all things around sharing Jesus with others, and learn how to step into your own missionary identity.

In today's ep, I'm sharing Michael Steger's Meaning Framework, and its three key elements of Coherence, Purpose, and Significance.

I'll share practical insights on how to diagnose feelings of disconnection and suggestions for realigning with what truly matters to you as a way to regain a sense of meaning again.

Episode Description: Kids today can't sit still without a screen. Their days are packed from morning to night, every game has rules, every moment has a goal, and the second boredom hits, the phone swoops in. Here's what that's creating: anxious teens who become adults afraid to fail, constantly waiting to be told what to do. In this episode, Dr. G sits down with Cas Holman, the world-famous toy designer whose play systems are transforming classrooms worldwide. Cas doesn't make toys that entertain kids, she builds tools that awaken creativity and imagination. Together, they explore how modern parenting, performance culture, and screen addiction have stripped us (and our children) of something vital: unstructured play. In This Episode: • Why kids have lost the ability to entertain themselves • How constant stimulation leads to anxiety, perfectionism, and fear of failure • Why boredom is essential for creativity and nervous system regulation • How to design your home and habits to invite more play — without turning your kitchen into a jungle gym • The difference between toys that entertain and toys that teach imagination • How rigid upbringings or lack of play can block self-expression as adults • Why play strengthens relationships, community, and emotional connection • One simple way to bring more play into your day — starting right now Key Takeaways: ✅ When play disappears, so does curiosity, creativity, and confidence ✅ Adults who suppress play often feel disconnected, anxious, or creatively blocked ✅ Play isn't childish — it's medicine for your nervous system ✅ You can rewire your stress response through small, daily moments of joy and play ✅ The most powerful form of healing sometimes looks like laughter, movement, and imagination Find Cas Holman here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/casholman/?hl=en Website: https://casholman.com/ Timestamps: 0:00 – Introduction 2:53 – What Kids Did That Adults Need to Rediscover 6:30 – Free Play vs Structured Play 12:10 – Why Unstructured Play is Critical for Child Development 17:13 – How Adults Suppress Play & the "Play Voice" vs "Adult Voice" 23:18 – Three Steps to Reconnect with Play as an Adult 34:01 – Simple Shifts: How to Make Daily Life More Playful 45:20 – How Play Strengthens Relationships & Partnerships 51:17 – One Playful Practice to Try This Week 54:29 – About the Book: "Playful" – Science, Stories & Solutions
We all get busy. Work piles up, routines take over, and before you know it, years have gone by since you last checked in with people who actually mattered to you. This episode is a reminder — and a bit of a kick in the ass — that it doesn't take much to change that. You don't need a reason, a holiday, or the “right time.” Just reach out. Call someone you haven't talked to in five or ten years. Shoot a text. Reconnect. The longer you wait, the harder it gets, and the truth is, life's too unpredictable to assume you'll always get another chance. This one's short, direct, and human. No fluff.
