Podcasts about reconnection

WelcomeIn this third episode in the grief series I share about the healthy cycle of healing and overcoming grief. I bring a teaching that came as an energetic download from my shamanic lineage almost twenty years ago and translate it into a simple, human map you can use when you are walking through loss, separation and deep sadness.Episode SummaryI speak about grief as an extensive sadness that arises from loss or the fear of losing something we love, and I honour the depth of those who are living through it. I share how, a little over thirty days after my mother's passing, I feel a profound respect for anyone who is navigating this level of reorganisation in their life and heart.I introduce the healthy cycle of grief as four main stages. The first stage is the experience itself, the recognition of loss and the shock that lands in the heart. I explain how mastering sadness and grief awakens the lover within you, because grief opens the heart, softens the body and creates a deep need for intimacy and tenderness.The second stage is confusion, shock and sometimes anger. This can show up as questions about identity, rage at God, life or others, guilt and shame. People can get stuck here for years, so this stage needs empowerment, clarity and sovereignty.The third stage is isolation and going inward. I talk about withdrawing into your inner cave, licking your wounds and discovering that this is actually a portal of creation and deep healing, where vision can be activated.The fourth stage is reconnection. This is the moment you return to life changed, with an upgraded identity and a new relationship with yourself, your mission and even with the one you lost, now in a different dimension. The cycle is not truly linear. You can move back and forth between stages, and over time reconnection becomes more stable and embodied.Key TakeawaysGrief is a sacred, powerful form of sadness that arises from loss.There is a healthy cycle of grief with four stages: experience, confusion, isolation and reconnection.Mastering grief awakens the lover within you by opening your heart and softening your body.Confusion, anger, guilt and shame need empowerment and clarity, not more drama.Isolation can be a portal of deep healing and vision, not just withdrawal.Reconnection is an upgraded identity and a new relationship with yourself, life and the one you lost.If you are somewhere inside this cycle right now, I am bowing to the depth of what you are carrying. You are not broken and you are not behind. You are moving through a sacred process that your mind might not fully understand yet.Let this episode be a gentle map and a reminder that there is a path through grief, and that on the other side there is more of you, not less.I'd love to hear your thoughts, text the show.

Welcome to a special two-year anniversary compilation episode of "Frustrated and Exhausted." This week, the focus is on resilience—but not in the “just carry on” sense. The conversation centers on women, career, and leadership, celebrating how real resilience is about self-knowledge, owning your experience, and resisting the urge to shrink.Featured Guests and Themes:Hilary Ross: Opens the episode with an honest look at what it means to be resilient in the workplace. Hilary shares how her trigger point is not being heard, and the ways she's reframed invisibility and setbacks through her career. She reflects on managing high-performing teams, overcoming perfectionism, and adapting to constant change.Monica Nangia: Offers perspective on resilience as self-advocacy, specifically for women whose identities are often overlooked or misunderstood. Monica discusses the “prove it again” bias, the exhaustion of being hyper-visible yet overlooked for promotions, and the cultural taxation faced by women of color. She stresses the need for allies in achieving meaningful change within organizations.Elizabeth Brower: Shares her personal journey through burnout and what it taught her about sustainable leadership. Elizabeth talks about the danger of glorifying overwork, encourages listeners to pause and reconnect with themselves, and champions the importance of rest, boundaries, and redefining success.Key Takeaways:Resilience is not about being unbreakable; it's about understanding yourself deeply, focusing on progress, and rejecting unrealistic performance standards.Recognizing and addressing systemic barriers (like visibility biases and unpaid labor in EDI work) is vital for creating genuinely inclusive workplaces.Rest isn't a luxury—it's foundational for well-being and effective leadership. It's time to stop glorifying constant availability and start supporting active downtime for everyoneHilary Ross on Visibility and Resilience: [00:01:09 - 00:01:53] — On not being heard, invisibility, and changing perspective.: [00:02:21 - 00:03:10] — On setbacks, management, and resilience.: [00:03:11 - 00:03:57] — High achievers, perfectionism, and incremental progress.: [00:04:33 - 00:05:15] — Post-Covid workplace control and the importance for women.Dr. Monica Nangia on Resilience as Self-Advocacy: [00:06:10 - 00:06:59] — ‘Prove it again' bias and the burden of always having to demonstrate competence.: [00:07:02 - 00:07:43] — Hypervisibility vs. invisibility and challenges for women of color.: [00:08:08 - 00:09:31] — Cultural taxation, EDI work, and lack of representation in senior roles.: [00:09:31 - 00:09:58] — Broken rung theory and the impact of visible role models.: [00:11:07 - 00:11:29] — The need for allies and support.Elizabeth Brauer's Journey from Burnout to Reconnection: [00:12:25 - 00:13:10] — Burnout, vulnerability, and redefining success.: [00:14:26 - 00:14:49] — Advice for those feeling stuck in a workaholic persona.: [00:14:49 - 00:15:52] — Reconnecting with oneself and celebrating achievements.: [00:16:27 - 00:17:21] — Taking personal time and day-to-day autopilot.: [00:17:41 - 00:18:35] — The one piece of career advice she'd ban: “always being on.”Thanks for listening to this episode of "Frustrated and Exhausted."

We're talking about the science of reconnection and how love quite literally repairs the nervous system. When we experience disconnection—whether in our relationships, friendships, or work—it activates our stress response, but when we choose to repair, the body shifts back toward safety, trust, and balance. We explore how oxytocin, heart rhythm, breath, and empathy work together to restore harmony, and how small, intentional acts of presence can transform both our biology and our relationships.

In this conversation, we go straight into the territory most professionals tiptoe around: intuition, subtle energy, the “inner signals” you've been trained to ignore since childhood.I talk about why Western culture is so committed to denial, how that denial fuels burnout, and why your quiet inner nudges are often the most honest, helpful guidance you'll ever get.We cover everything from witches and shamans, to Victorian emotional repression, to the modern addiction cycle… and yes, the moments in my own life when intuition slammed into me like a freight train.This isn't about superstition—it's about reconnection. Tuning back in to yourself, to others, and to the deeper stream of intelligence running through all of us.If you've been feeling disconnected, numb, over-stimulated, secretly exhausted, or like you're living 10cm to the left of your actual life… this one's for you.In This EpisodeWhy so many smart, capable adults are terrified of their own intuitionThe cultural training that teaches us to ignore our inner signalsHow denial and addiction quietly build modern burnoutWhy meditation and yoga don't “fix” burnout unless you stop overriding your inner voiceHow loneliness dismantles your nervous systemStories from my own life of intuitive “hits”—the kind that make you question everythingHow subtle energy shows up in healing workWhy reconnecting with yourself is the foundation of real leadershipHow burnout recovery gives you back your early dreams—the ones you quietly shelvedWhat it takes to step into the “bigger you” you've been resistingKey TakeawaysIntuition isn't fringe. It's human.Suppressing your inner experience creates anxiety, addiction, and burnout.Reconnection—not productivity hacks—is what heals you.Your inner voice is rarely wrong. You're just out of the habit of trusting it.Burnout is a transformation process. It pushes you back into contact with the parts of yourself you've been avoiding.The dreams you abandoned still matter. They're signals, not fantasies.When you stop running from yourself, your life stops running from you.If You're Ready to Get Your Mojo BackIf you want support reconnecting with yourself, healing burnout, and stepping into the version of you that actually feels like you—book a time with me at:https://mini.dexrandall.comLet's map out what your next chapter could look like.Send us a text----------------------------------- Burnout Resources:Start 1-on-1 burnout recovery at https:/mini.dexrandall.comChat with Dex AI Coach https://app.coachvox.ai/share/dexrandallConfidential.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Cynthia Lee, founder of Tree, to unpack what it really means to build a business from alignment instead of pressure. In a world obsessed with hustle culture, constant output and algorithm chasing, Cynthia gets real about how much of that “productivity” is actually anxiety in motion. She breaks down the difference between acting from fear versus acting from inspiration, why burnout does not build anything sustainable, and how listening to your nervous system can become a genuine business strategy, not just self care talk. You will hear how Cynthia is building Tree as a first of its kind platform for everyday creators to turn their gifts into revenue in a way that feels human, values-led and mentally healthy. This conversation is built for creators, founders and professionals who are tired of pushing and want a model of success that fits their actual life, not just their LinkedIn headline. About the Guest  : Cynthia Lee is the founder of Tree, a platform designed to help everyday creators turn their natural talents, multi-passionate interests and lived experience into sustainable, heart-centered businesses. She blends practical strategy with deep inner work, guiding people to move from grind and external validation to alignment, clarity and inspired action. Tree is her way of reimagining entrepreneurship so that authenticity, mental health and accessibility sit at the center of how we build, scale and lead. Key Takeaways  : Pressure vs inspiration is an internal metric. If your drive is rooted in proving yourself, fear of falling behind or social comparison, that is pressure. If it feels like genuine curiosity, excitement and clarity, that is inspired action. Alignment comes with a pause, then a leap. Cynthia shares how her biggest moves did not come from constant grinding but from pausing, checking in with her inner compass, then taking one clear, bold step instead of scattered micro actions. Hustle culture quietly disconnects us from what lights us up. Many entrepreneurs optimize only for income and stability, then forget to ask what actually energizes them. Reconnection starts by writing down what you love, what you want to monetize and how you want to offer it. Multi-passionate is not a weakness, it is an asset. Cynthia had seven very different offers inside one business. She reframed them as valid, monetizable gifts rather than “too much”, and now champions a model where all parts of you are allowed in your business. Success in the new era is self-defined, not handed down. The old “recipe” for business is just one person's playbook. Cynthia invites creators to design their own blueprint for success based on authenticity, nervous-system safety and the kind of life they actually want to live. Building a business is also a mental and spiritual upgrade. Entrepreneurship forces you to confront unworthiness, doubt and the urge to play small. Cynthia names this as an opportunity to expand into a fuller, more confident version of yourself, not just a bigger revenue number. How To Connect With Cynthia:   Cynthia is building Tree from the ground up and openly invites early, values-aligned creators into the journey.

In times of chaos, it's easy to drift away from ourselves — to become unmoored from the body as life's noise grows louder. When uncertainty rises, our spirit often retreats for protection, leaving us feeling numb, detached, or scattered. Yet the body is not our limitation — it is our anchor, our sacred vessel through which divine wisdom takes form. To return to the body is to remember that we are not meant to escape life's storms but to embody peace within them. The body becomes our bridge between Heaven and Earth, where intuition flows clearly, emotions find balance, and healing takes root.Reconnection begins with awareness — noticing breath, sensation, and emotion without judgment. When we listen to the subtle language of the body, we learn its rhythm: tension asking for rest, tears asking for release, the heartbeat calling us home. Grounding practices such as deep breathing, mindful movement, sensory awareness, and time in nature help reweave the bond between spirit and flesh. Through these acts, the nervous system calms, energy realigns, and our light body harmonizes again. Chaos, rather than an enemy, becomes a catalyst — shaking us free of illusion so we can live in greater authenticity and truth.To live embodied is to live awake. It is the art of finding stillness in motion and grace amid uncertainty. From this presence, peace is not something to seek but something that naturally arises. Each breath, each heartbeat, becomes a prayer of return — a reminder that you are safe, you are loved, and you belong to this moment. When you inhabit your body fully, you become a steady light for others — a living example that even in a world trembling with change, peace and joy are still possible here, in this breath, in this now.Send us a textSupport the showThanks for listening - For questions or comments email Laurie at Laurie@yourlifecore.comInstagram @yourlifecore or Twitter @yourlifecore Facebook https://www.facebook.com/YourLifecoreWebsite www.yourlifecore.com

In this episode, Dr. Amy Vertrees—general surgeon, coach, and founder of the Boss Surgeons coaching community—dives into one of the most overlooked competencies in surgical training: emotional capacity. Surgeons are taught how to operate under pressure, handle emergencies, and constantly pursue excellence. But very few are ever taught how to feel the intense emotions that come with the job, let alone process and recover from them. As a result, emotional capacity—rather than building over time like technical skill—often shrinks, quietly eroding confidence, performance, and well-being. This episode breaks down what emotional capacity truly is, why it matters, and how surgeons can intentionally rebuild and expand it. What You'll Learn in This Episode • Emotional capacity defined—and why surgeons need it Emotional capacity is the ability to feel, process, and recover from emotions. It is essential for longevity in surgery, yet rarely discussed in training programs that focus almost exclusively on skill and knowledge. • The emotional challenges surgeons face daily Regret, worry, fear, insecurity, and self-doubt aren't signs of weakness. They're part of the job. When they go unprocessed, they create burnout, impulsivity, and emotional blunting. • Why emotional capacity can shrink over time Unlike surgical skill, emotional capacity declines if neglected. Unprocessed emotions accumulate and begin to drive behavior, often without awareness. • How to recognize and name emotions with clarity "You cannot process what you cannot name." Dr. Vertrees shares how using the example of regret during a case transfer can transform shame or resentment into motivation and learning. • Managing intensity without being overtaken by it Surgeons constantly shift between high-intensity events and routine interactions. This requires compartmentalization—but too much compartmentalization leads to emotional numbness. • Breaking the prolonged stress cycle Chronic stress signals the body that it is unsafe. Dr. Vertrees explains how simple techniques like box breathing help return the nervous system to safety and restore capacity. • Releasing unrealistic responsibility Surgeons are trained to "own everything," which often leads to carrying burdens far beyond what is reasonable or controllable. • Reconnecting with yourself Disconnection from one's own needs is one of the earliest and most dangerous signs of burnout. Reconnection is essential for restoring emotional bandwidth. • How to rebuild emotional capacity You'll hear practical strategies including: Identifying and allowing emotions without judgment Creating micro-pauses Noticing the thoughts generating feelings Allowing joy, gratitude, and celebration to expand capacity Understanding that confidence comes from acting with difficult emotions, not from eliminating them • Coaching as a tool for building emotional strength Dr. Vertrees shares how coaching can help surgeons process emotions effectively, reconnect with themselves, and reclaim confidence.

About this Episode In this episode, Cate Stillman sits down with Elizabeth Stauder, a somatic transformation coach, trauma-integration guide, and founder of the Body and Soul Sanctuary. Known for her ability to translate deep nervous-system wisdom into practical healing pathways, Elizabeth blends somatic science, ancestral wisdom, and lived experience. After a near-death vaccine injury catalyzed her journey into trauma healing, she dedicated her work to helping others reconnect with the parts of themselves that were severed during overwhelm or cultural conditioning. Her community-based model empowers people to heal through connection, co-regulation, and embodied belonging. Together, Cate and Elizabeth explore how trauma disconnects us from our inner resources, how community accelerates nervous-system repair, and why somatic reconnection—not willpower—is the foundation of true transformation. Key Takeaways: Trauma as Lost Resource: Trauma isn't a flaw or a wound to analyze—it's a disconnection from an inner resource that once kept you whole. Healing begins when we learn to reconnect with that missing piece instead of reliving what went wrong. Nervous System Repair Through Somatic Work: Elizabeth shows how somatic practices help the body remember safety, belonging, and coherence. When the nervous system realigns, old patterns naturally dissolve without force or struggle. Community as a Biological Need: Healing accelerates when we're surrounded by people who listen, attune, and move with us—just like birds or fish syncing in nature. Without this co-regulation, the journey becomes isolating and heavy. Reframing Cultural Narratives of "Brokenness": Modern culture tells us to handle everything alone, but rugged individualism only deepens disconnection. True transformation requires shared signals, support, and belonging—not self-reliance in isolation. The Power of Co-Regulation and Embodied Presence: In a safe group, nervous systems communicate nonverbally, creating an environment where insights arise organically. When we heal together, the unhealthy layers fall away because they're no longer needed.

Send us a textSo often, couples tell me, “If we could just fix our sex life, everything else would feel better.”And while that makes sense—because when physical intimacy fades, everything feels off—the truth is that sexual disconnection usually begins long before the bedroom.When we lose emotional safety, trust, or connection, our bodies follow.In this week's episode of the AwakenYou in Your Marriage Podcast, we're exploring how emotional and sexual healing are beautifully intertwined. I'll share parts of my own story—how Jeff and I had no idea how to fix our growing disconnection and how, over time, we learned that what needed healing first was our hearts.Inside this episode, you'll discover:Why your sexual disconnection isn't a surprise when emotional closeness has faded.How emotional safety and trust create the foundation for lasting desire.What emotional betrayal really is—and how to rebuild safety after it.Why early-stage attraction feels effortless but often lacks depth.How to rebuild the “emotional house” of your marriage so intimacy feels real, not transactional.Practical ways to reconnect that don't start in the bedroom.This isn't about blaming or fixing—it's about understanding. Because when your heart begins to heal, your body follows. When trust is rebuilt, passion can grow again.If this conversation resonates with you, I encourage you to go back and listen to my Sex in Marriage series—it's a compassionate guide to understanding desire, shame, and emotional safety in intimate connection.And if you're ready to take a next step, now is the perfect time to book a Courageous Love Conversation.

I've always emphasized the beauty and sustainability of small daily habits for self-improvement. But occasionally, our self-care journey demands a more significant leap to reboot our personal development. On this episode I shared how my recent solo trip to London was a radical act of self-care for me. It's essential to recognize that personal growth and development sometimes require us to stretch beyond our comfort zones, reminding ourselves of our own self-worth and the importance of self-care. These experiences, whether starting daily habits or planning an adventure abroad, define how to stop being a perfectionist and enrich our journeys toward how to feel happy. So, my call to you is straightforward: consider your own big step in self-care—it's time to reclaim, reconnect, and embrace your true self.

Réka gyorsan nekilátott a számítógépnek, hogy megoldást találjon.En: "Don't worry, I'll try to help." Réka quickly set to work on the computer to find a solution.Hu: Ahogy a perc múlott, László feszülten figyelte a kijelzőket.En: As the minutes passed, László watched the screens tensely.Hu: A gépe harminc perc múlva indult.En: His plane was departing in thirty minutes.Hu: Rékára tekintett reménykedve, aki egyszer csak fellélegzett.En: He looked hopefully at Réka, who suddenly relaxed.Hu: "Sikerült megoldani a problémát! Azonnal menjen az A kapuhoz, még odaér időben."En: "The issue is resolved! Head to gate A immediately; you'll still make it in time."Hu: László hálásan megköszönte Rékának a segítségét, és elindult a beszállókapu felé, bőröndje gurulását gyorsítva.En: László gratefully thanked Réka for her assistance and headed toward the boarding gate, quickening the pace of his suitcase's wheels.Hu: Alig érkezett meg, és már sorban is állt.En: He barely arrived and was already standing in line.Hu: Mindenre elszánt volt, amikor végre bejutott a géptérbe, örömmel konstatálva, hogy sikeresen elindult a családi újrakezdés útján.En: He was determined when he finally entered the cabin, happily realizing he had successfully started his journey of family reconnection.Hu: Míg a gép felszállt, László kinézett az ablakon.En: As the plane took off, László looked out the window.Hu: A vidékre távoli fények pislogtak, és a hideg őszkék égbolt alatt ráébredt: a kapcsolatok és az emberi kötelékek sokkal fontosabbak, mint eddig észrevette volna.En: The distant lights of the countryside blinked, and under the cold autumn sky, he realized that relationships and human connections were far more important than he had previously noticed.Hu: Eldöntötte, hogy a jövőben mindig előrébb helyezi a családját.En: He decided that in the future, he would always prioritize his family.Hu: A gép egyenletes zúgása alatt már bizakodva gondolt a rövidesen elébe néző találkozásra, alig várva, hogy újra átölelje szeretteit.En: Amidst the steady hum of the plane, he confidently thought about the upcoming reunion, eagerly anticipating embracing his loved ones again.Hu: Észrevétlenül belső meleg érzés töltötte el. Talán mostantól minden más lesz.En: A warm feeling filled him unnoticed. Perhaps everything would be different from now on.

Welcome to "What I Know Now," a podcast by The Delta Project, where we dive deep into life inside the juvenile justice system and what it takes to turn things around truly. In this powerful episode, guest host Nick Williams and co-host Cole Williams sit down with guest Jimmy Horsley for an honest, heartfelt conversation about redemption, fatherhood, and the transformative power of mentorship.Jimmy shares his journey from childhood in Mississippi to navigating the streets, facing repeated incarceration, and ultimately rediscovering himself as a father and mentor. Through his candid insights, you'll hear how the pain of separation from his daughters and the lessons learned in fatherhood programs shaped the man he is today. Meanwhile, Nick opens up about his own time in juvenile detention, the challenges of breaking free from a destructive mindset, and the importance of finding something to believe in.Together, Jimmy and Nick reveal the impact of connection behind the walls—how vulnerability, self-reflection, and genuine support can plant seeds of hope, even in places where it feels like nothing grows. Whether you're a parent, a mentor, or someone seeking to understand the real stories behind the headlines, this episode reminds us that everyone is worthy of change, and that time—even measured behind bars—can be used to transform your life.Listen in for raw stories, personal breakthroughs, and the lessons these men wish they'd known sooner—in the hope that what they know now will spark change for the future.

Story Transcript:Ca: La tardor a Barcelona té una llum especial.En: Autumn in Barcelona has a special light.Ca: La Sagrada Família s'alçava majestuosa al cel, les seves ombres al terra semblaven ballar amb el vent suau del vespre.En: La Sagrada Família rose majestically into the sky, its shadows on the ground seemed to dance with the gentle evening breeze.Ca: Laia va arribar primer.En: Laia arrived first.Ca: Esperava amb il·lusió retrobar-se amb el seu germà, Pere.En: She eagerly awaited reuniting with her brother, Pere.Ca: Feia anys que no es veien.En: It had been years since they last saw each other.Ca: L'últim cop, les seves vides eren molt diferents.En: The last time, their lives were very different.Ca: Mentre es mirava les façanes de l'església, pensava en com explicar-li a Pere que comprenia els seus temors.En: As she gazed at the church's façades, she thought about how to explain to Pere that she understood his fears.Ca: Com a arquitecta, per a ella, les pedres parlaven de somnis i projectes, de fortalesa i bellesa.En: As an architect, to her, the stones spoke of dreams and projects, of strength and beauty.Ca: Quan Pere va arribar, a Laia li va costar reconèixer-lo.En: When Pere arrived, Laia had difficulty recognizing him.Ca: Havia crescut i portava una motxilla plena de llibres.En: He had grown and carried a backpack full of books.Ca: S'acostà amb una mica de timidesa.En: He approached with a bit of shyness.Ca: Ell va somriure tímidament, però els seus ulls reflectien una barreja de nervis i emoció.En: He smiled timidly, but his eyes reflected a mix of nerves and excitement.Ca: —T'he trobat a faltar, germanet —va dir Laia sincerament, envoltant-lo amb una abraçada càlida.En: "I've missed you, little brother," said Laia sincerely, wrapping him in a warm hug.Ca: —Jo també, Laia —va contestar Pere, afluixant una mica la seva defensiva.En: "I've missed you too, Laia," Pere replied, relaxing his defensiveness a bit.Ca: Laia va decidir portar-lo d'excursió per dins de La Sagrada Família.En: Laia decided to take him on a tour inside La Sagrada Família.Ca: A mesura que s'endinsaven en aquell monstre de pedra i llum, els jocs de colors i formes semblaven despertar alguna cosa dins d'ells.En: As they delved into that stone and light monster, the play of colors and shapes seemed to awaken something inside them.Ca: Era com si cada arc, cada columna expliquessin una història antiga i profunda.En: It was as if every arch, every column told an ancient, profound tale.Ca: La Mercè s'apropava, i la ciutat estava plena de vida i alegria.En: La Mercè was approaching, and the city was full of life and joy.Ca: Però Pere semblava una mica distant, com si lluités amb pensaments que no sabia com verbalitzar.En: But Pere seemed a bit distant, as if he were struggling with thoughts he didn't know how to verbalize.Ca: —Saps, Laia, sovint em pregunto si faig el que vull a la vida o si només intento complaure als altres —va confessar finalment Pere sota una de les naus laterals, on la llum del sol feia ballar infinitat de colors.En: "You know, Laia, I often wonder if I'm doing what I want in life or if I'm just trying to please others," Pere finally confessed under one of the side naves, where the sunlight made countless colors dance.Ca: Laia va sentir una onada d'empatia.En: Laia felt a wave of empathy.Ca: Va posar la mà a l'espatlla del seu germà i li va dir amb fermesa:—Pere, tots tenim aquests dubtes.En: She placed her hand on her brother's shoulder and said firmly: "Pere, we all have these doubts.Ca: I està bé.En: And it's okay.Ca: No cal que siguis com jo, ni com ningú.En: You don't need to be like me, or like anyone else.Ca: Només sigues tu mateix.En: Just be yourself.Ca: Això és el que realment importa.En: That's what really matters."Ca: Pere la va mirar, sorprès de la comprensió que trobava en les seves paraules.En: Pere looked at her, surprised by the understanding he found in her words.Ca: Per primera vegada en molt de temps, es sentia menys sol amb les seves preocupacions.En: For the first time in a long while, he felt less alone with his concerns.Ca: —Gràcies, Laia.En: "Thank you, Laia.Ca: Realment necessitava escoltar això.En: I really needed to hear that."Ca: Van sortir de la basílica amb els cors alleugerits.En: They left the basilica with lighter hearts.Ca: Les llums de la ciutat començaven a encendre's, i un nou camí es presentava davant d'ells.En: The city lights were beginning to turn on, and a new path lay before them.Ca: Van decidir fer plans per veure's més sovint, per no deixar que anys de silenci els separessin de nou.En: They decided to make plans to see each other more often, to not let years of silence separate them again.Ca: Laia havia apres d'ell la importància d'escoltar, mentre que Pere començava a confiar més en el seu propi camí.En: Laia had learned from him the importance of listening, while Pere began to have more trust in his own path.Ca: Sota els estels de la nit barcelonina, els germans van saber que, malgrat les distàncies, sempre trobarien el camí de tornada l'un a l'altre.En: Under the stars of the Barcelona night, the siblings knew that, despite the distances, they would always find the way back to each other.

Unlike today's known forms of Energy Healing, this work can be practiced without complex techniques or elaborate rituals. Through Dr. Pearl's journey of research and discovery, it… Dr. Eric Pearl wearing a casual gray t-shirt sits near an open doorway, smiling warmly.

What if our dreams were not just fragments of the night, but guiding voices for our lives and communities? Toko-pa Turner, Canadian author and internationally celebrated dreamworker, is the award-winning author of Belonging: Remembering Ourselves Home and The Dreaming Way: Courting the Wisdom of Dreams.  In this TIMELESS, she reminds us that dreaming is a language of the soul, one that reconnects us to belonging, to the earth and to each other. In How to Work With Dreams as a Daily Language, we explore how exile and belonging are intertwined, how grief holds essential medicine, and how dreams reveal the hidden threads of our shared psychic ecosystem.  We hope that hearing just this small part will give you space to contemplate, integrate and embody what is shared here and we highly recommend you to revisit the whole conversation.

Mary Valdovinos grew up in Connecticut with a supportive family and was accepted to Yale, but a spiral that began junior year of high school led to addiction after graduation. She fell into the orbit of drug dealers, became a drug runner, and was arrested by the DEA for conspiracy to distribute. After violating probation—and a second chance—she landed in federal prison. In this candid interview, Mary shares what life inside was really like, the turning point that led her to recovery, and how she now mentors and empowers justice-impacted women. It's a raw, honest story of addiction, accountability, and second chances. #AddictionRecovery #TrueCrime #RedemptionStory #PrisonStories #WomenInPrison #JusticeReform #SecondChances #drugaddiction Connect with Mary Valdovinos: https://www.instagram.com/mary_epiphany?igsh=MW9kMTlkeG11ZXYzbA== Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Use code LOCKEDIN for 20% OFF Wooooo Energy Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:26 Mary's Upbringing and Family Values 04:39 Childhood Success and Early Pressures 08:38 Middle School, Bullying, and Finding Friends 12:39 High School Achievements and First Signs of Trouble 15:39 Partying, Drug Use, and Parental Denial 19:59 Addiction Deepens and Family Struggles 25:30 Running Drugs and Crime Escalates 32:06 Probation, Manipulation, and Second Chances 39:44 Relapse, Reconnection, and Fentanyl 44:47 DEA Raid and Arrest 53:10 Cooperation, Lies, and Facing Federal Charges 01:01:12 Court, Sentencing, and Probation Challenges 01:09:41 Final Probation Violation and Prison Sentence 01:17:18 Federal Prison and Detox 01:26:04 Prison Life, Survival, and Mental Health 01:33:09 Rehabilitation and Rebuilding After Prison 01:39:01 Making Amends, Lessons, and Advice Learn more about your ad choices.

Jerry Colonna is an executive coach, author, and former venture capitalist who has been called "the CEO Whisperer." As the founder of Reboot.io, he works with leaders to foster both professional success and personal wholeness through the practice of radical self-inquiry. In this conversation, we explore Jerry's latest book "Reunion: Leadership and the Longing to Belong," which examines how reconnecting with our ancestral past can help us build a more compassionate future. Expect to learn: — How disconnection from our ancestral lineage contributes to our ability to "other" people in society today — Why understanding your own heritage creates an empathetic bridge to those different from you — Why letting go of the myth of meritocracy can be liberating for leaders — The relationship between feeling worthy of love, safety, and belonging and our ability to extend those gifts to others And more. You can learn more about Jerry's work, books, and coaching practice at https://www.reboot.io --- Jerry Colonna is a coach, writer, and speaker who focuses on leadership, business, and the practice of radical self-inquiry. He is the Co-founder and CEO of Reboot.io, a company born from the rallying cry that work does not have to destroy us. Work can be the way in which we achieve our fullest self. A graduate of Queens College, Jerry helps people lead with humanity and equanimity. His unique blend of Buddhism, Jungian therapy, and entrepreneurial know-how has made him a sought-after coach and leader, working with some of the largest firms in the country. In his work as a coach, he draws on his experience in Venture Capital (VC) as Co-founder of Flatiron Partners, one of the most successful, early-stage investment programs. Later, he was a partner with J.P. Morgan Partners (JPMP), the private equity arm of J.P. Morgan Chase. Along with a strong commitment to the nonprofit sector, Jerry is the author of two books: REBOOT: Leadership and the Art of Growing Up (2019) and REUNION: Leadership and the Longing to Belong. Reboot was met with critical acclaim, stirring up a big question in the hearts and minds of people: “How have I been complicit in creating the conditions I say I don't want?” Jerry's second book builds on this question, asking us what benefit we get from the conditions we say we don't want. Jerry is astounded by the fact that he lives on a farm outside of Boulder, CO near the foothills of the Rockies, and far from the streets of Brooklyn where he was born and raised. He is the father of three amazing humans, each of whom cares deeply about the love, safety, and belonging of others. --- Interview Links: — Jerry's website: https://www.reboot.io — Jerry's books: https://amzn.to/3Hw4gpV

If you like eco-therapy and/or Australian accents, you'll get both in this episode, as Carrie interviews John Seed, Deep Ecology father, founder/activist of the Rainforest Information Centre and co-author of the open-access book "Thinking Like a Mountain: Toward a Council of All Beings," and Dr. Tema Milstein (American turned Australian), Fulbright Scholar, and environmental communication Professor at Univ of New South Wales in Sydney. Both are co-facilitators of Deep Ecology workshops, that help reconnect us with each other and nature and heal our separation, like the compelling workshop I attended with them in Hobart Tasmania this June (you'll hear brief audio clips from that workshop of a kookaburra bird, Tema ringing bells, and my reflections after an emotional exercise). In this 56 minute interview, we describe some of my favorite workshop exercises like the council of all beings, breathing with trees, a solar system planetary walk, and the truth mandala (honouring our pain for the world). John also recites two poems by Robinson Jeffers.

What if becoming a mother wasn't just a life event, but a profound transformation that reshapes your entire identity? In this episode of The Women's Vibrancy Code, Maraya Brown sits down with midwife and transformational coach Corina Fitch to explore the transformative journey of matrescence—the process of becoming a mother. Corina shares her personal experience transitioning from attending births to guiding women through the profound shifts of motherhood, especially after 35. The conversation highlights the emotional and physical changes women face, from stress and sleep deprivation to navigating career changes and societal pressures. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the deep identity shifts that come with motherhood, the importance of self-care and support, and how women can embrace this transformative period with grace and empowerment.   Also in this episode: Stress, societal pressures, and environmental factors heavily influence a woman's ability to conceive, particularly in her mid-30s and beyond. Women experience significant shifts in identity during motherhood, demanding new levels of self-compassion and a reevaluation of personal values and professional ambitions. The absence of traditional village models for raising children has highlighted the necessity of building modern support networks to combat loneliness and shame in motherhood. When supported properly, the journey of becoming a mother — and navigating matrescence — can lead to profound personal and professional transformations.     About the guest:  Corina Fitch is a midwife, matrescence facilitator, transformational coach, and founder of MotherFly. With over 30 years of experience walking alongside women in their journey to and through motherhood, Corina blends her clinical background as a midwife and NICU nurse with training in Feminine Power, embodiment, motherhood studies, and identity transformation. Having personally navigated the tender thresholds of motherhood, entrepreneurship, and purpose after the births of her three daughters, she now guides overwhelmed and purpose-driven mothers to rediscover themselves through the sacred portal of motherhood. Her work helps women move from surviving to thriving, integrating both their motherhood and their mission, so they can bring the fullest version of themselves to their children and the world.   Facebook: MotherFly IG: motherflytribe Website: https://www.motherflymom.com/ Subscribe to the masterclass: From Burnout to Reconnection https://subscribepage.io/burnouttoreconnectionmb     The Women's Vibrancy Accelerator Trifecta: Your 90-Day Health Reset Ready to take your health to the next level?

Sometimes, life writes love stories so unexpected, you couldn't make them up if you tried. Today's guests, Jennie and Bryan Drollinger, know precisely what it means to become lost and then, against all odds, be found.  Years ago, Bryan and Jennie were young, in love, and full of possibility. But like so many couples, life had other plans. At a time where dating was limited to in person communication and catching someone at the right time on a land line, a few simple misses turned into misunderstandings. Bryan followed his path as a devout Mormon, got married, raised a family of seven, and built a successful career. Jenny married and settled into a marriage that blessed her with two beautiful children, yet there was an absence of that loving feeling she once dreamed of. Life brought challenges for both of them, including failed expectations, and the deep struggle of holding it all together, especially when marriage is intertwined with faith, community, and awareness that their lives were being spent more on the worst side, for better or worse.. Then came the unthinkable. Bryan's marriage ended, leaving him in one of the most challenging spaces of his life, financially, emotionally, and spiritually. Simultaneously, as fate would have it, Jenny's marriage was ending as well, facing her own heartbreaks and growing pains. And then, the universe intervened. A random reconnection occurred when Bryan, needing an attorney, found himself seeking a consultation with the firm's paralegal. Her name? Jenny.. Sparks fared, and a realization that both of their winding, messy, painful roads had prepared them for this: a second chance at the love they once shared. Now, through their new podcast A Second Chance on Love, and upcoming book made for a movie, Bryan and Jennie are opening up about their journey, their lessons, and their hope for anyone who's wondering if it's too late to rewrite their love story.

In this week's show Lian is joined by Stephanie MacKay. Stephanie is a mythologist, wilderness guide, and cultural craftswoman devoted to the long, slow work of remembering how to belong—to land, to lineage, to story, and to each other. As founder and director of Fianna Wilderness School, she has spent the past 15+ years guiding rites of passage, seasonal myth circles, and nature-based mentorship rooted in the wilds. Stephanie's work braids together her Celtic ancestry, years of deep study with Martín Prechtel and the Animas Valley Institute, and a fierce love of story as medicine. She is dedicated to uncovering the vestiges of intact cultural origins within the body of ancient European stories. Drawing from the wellspring of these old mythologies, she seeks to uncover the hidden pathways that lead us to our cultural origins—reviving traditions long forgotten and reawakening the deep cultural wisdom carried in our bones. Whether she's guiding wilderness quests, tending seasonal myth circles, or walking the long road of cultural regeneration, Stephanie's devotion is to the deep remembering of who we are and how we belong—through mythic threads that call us back into sacred relationship with the world. In this episode, Lian and Stephanie explore the deep, woven threads that bind our personal myths to the land beneath our feet. Together, they journey through the ways in which stories live within us… ancient seeds waiting for the right conditions to sprout. Stephanie reflects on how her own path led her from disconnection back into a living relationship with land and story, and how myth can offer us both memory and medicine. They explore the longing many of us feel to recover our cultural roots, and how stories act as carriers of ancestral wisdom across time and place. From childhood connections to the land, to the rediscovery of myth as a portal into belonging, they speak of how both land and story hold the potential to restore us to ourselves. Along the way, Lian and Stephanie reflect on myths such as Cinderella and Iron John… tales often dismissed yet still holding profound keys for our times. At the heart of this conversation is a reverence for the slow, relational work of remembering: tending to the land beneath us, listening for the stories that call us home, and understanding that these are not separate acts… but parts of the same ancient dance between earth and soul. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: How reconnecting with the origins of our surroundings… even something as simple as a table or a weaving… can begin to restore our relationship with land and story. Why stories carry ancestral memory and wisdom, offering us a way back to belonging even when our cultural roots feel severed. How working with myth both psychologically and spiritually invites us into deeper relationship… with ourselves, with the land, and with the unseen.

Anglo-French relations have not been so good since before the Brexit vote. Beneath the state-visit pageantry, though, there is much co-operation for President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Keir Starmer to discuss.

Feel yourself moving backward through time... not just years or decades, but eons, epochs, entire cosmic cycles. Your soul has been on an incredible journey of evolution, experiencing countless forms of existence, gathering wisdom, accumulating love, learning the deepest truths of the universe. And through it all, certain souls have been with you, traveling parallel paths, sharing adventures across the vast expanse of eternity. There was a moment... a cosmic moment of pure choice... when consciousness first began to individuate from the Source. Picture this if you can: vast fields of pure light, infinite awareness beginning to fragment into individual sparks of divine essence. And in that primordial moment of becoming, certain souls looked at each other with recognition that transcended all understanding. They chose each other. You chose each other. It wasn't random. It wasn't coincidence. It was cosmic love at first sight, soul recognizing soul, essence calling to essence. Your soul family formed in that moment of pure intention, pure love, pure commitment to journey together through whatever experiences awaited. You made vows to each other that span infinity - to find each other, to support each other, to remember each other no matter how far apart your paths might lead. Through this activation we begin the process of reconnection and coming back to your soul family. After listening to this activation you will find yourself connecting to your soul family in amazing ways.
