Everyone knows med school is hard. For some, it's even harder. Dave Etler hosts a raw conversation with med students M1 Emily Baniewicz, M3 Jeff Goddard, PA 1 Chloe Kepros, and M3 Madeline Ungs about the reality of navigating disability during medical training. With insights from Jenna Ladd, PhD, CCOM's recently hired accessibility specialist, they dig into accommodations that range from extra time to simply having a chair. The group shares stories of advocating for themselves while trying to keep up in a system not designed with their bodies or brains in mind. They discuss how their chronic illnesses, anxiety, and invisible disabilities show up in pre-clinical courses and clinical clerkships, why getting help can feel like a confession, and why pushing for equity isn't about advantage over others — it's about access. Also, yes, someone did pass out during shadowing. And while some may say a disability means they don't belong here, the fact is, medicine needs them.

In this heartfelt and eye-opening coaching session, Christine Hassler supports Darletha as she bravely opens up about her struggles with intimacy, abandonment, and the fear of emotional vulnerability. Despite years of personal growth, therapy, and conscious dating efforts, Darletha finds herself in a recurring pattern of attracting men who aren't aligned with her values—and pushing them away when things get too close. Christine guides Darletha to explore the deeper emotional roots of her relationship dynamics, including childhood wounds, generational trauma, and the nervous system's response to perceived threats in intimacy. Together, they highlight the difference between discernment and sabotage, and how inner child healing can shift these long-held patterns. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who feels frustrated with their dating experiences, struggles with emotional closeness, or feels misunderstood by their own protective patterns.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Do you find yourself attracting partners who aren't quite right, then pushing them away? Are you hyper-aware of red flags to the point that it blocks connection? Can you tell the difference between discernment and emotional avoidance? Are you willing to explore how your nervous system and inner child might be influencing your relationship patterns?   Key Insights and A-HAs: Pushing people away can be a protective response, not a personal flaw. Childhood experiences of abandonment can lead to subconscious avoidance of intimacy. Discernment is not the same as fear—knowing the difference is key. Emotional safety begins within the self, not through control over others. True healing comes through compassion, vulnerability, and nervous system regulation.   How to Get Over It & On With It: Practice tuning into your body instead of staying in your head during dates or emotionally triggering moments. Acknowledge and soothe the inner child when feelings of rejection or abandonment arise. Let go of hyper-vigilance and perfectionism; focus instead on how you feel around a person, not just how they perform. Redefine vulnerability as strength, not weakness—it's the gateway to authentic connection. Surround yourself with safe containers and communities (like Be the Queen) to reinforce new relational patterns.   Social Media + Resources:  Christine Hassler — Take a Coaching Assessment Christine Hassler Podcasts Including Coaches Corner Christine on Facebook Expectation Hangover by Christine Hassler @ChristineHassler on Twitter @ChristineHassler on Instagram @SacredUnionCouples on Instagram Email: jill@christinehassler.com — For information on any of my services!

In this empowering episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty chats with Ruth Mac, founder of Ruth Mac Fit and a champion of midlife transformation for women. From teacher to personal trainer to wellness coach, Ruth shares how a health crisis in her 30s became the catalyst for deep change—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. Together, they explore how midlife isn't a decline—it's a new beginning. Ruth opens up about the real struggles women face in their 40s and beyond: perimenopause, burnout, identity loss, and the exhausting all-or-nothing mindset. She offers practical ways to shift from intensity to sustainability, to listen to your body instead of fighting it, and how even 5 minutes of movement or 3 consistent meals can spark powerful change. This episode is your permission slip to do less—but better. About the GuestRuth Mac is a UK-based health and lifestyle coach helping women 40+ reclaim their energy, health, and confidence. Through her brand Ruth Mac Fit, she supports clients in ditching yo-yo dieting and embracing a more compassionate, realistic approach to wellness that fits their real lives. Key Takeaways Aging doesn't mean decline; it's often burnout disguised as biology. Sustainability > intensity: consistency in small habits beats perfection. The “all-or-nothing” mindset keeps women stuck; learn to plan for chaos, not calm. Menopause, motherhood, and neurodiversity all shape wellness—but adaptability is power. The best time to start is now, not “when things calm down.” Connect with Ruth Mac Website: https://www.ruthmacfit.com Instagram: @ruthmacfit Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?DM on PodMatch DM Me Here: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik Subscribe To Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/ Join Community: https://nas.io/healthymind Stay Tuned And Follow Us!

In today's episode, we tackle the critical influence managers have on employee performance and business growth. While 70% of employees would quit over a bad manager, research shows managers can be the second most influential people in employees' lives—creating enormous potential for positive impact. Many small business owners fall into the "just hire managers" trap without building the systems to support their success. This leads to stressed managers, disengaged employees, and stalled growth. Effective management requires intentional infrastructure. To set your managers up for success: Redefine management success beyond hitting targets to creating environments where people thrive Build trust through consistent alignment between words and actions Cultivate empathy as a business practice through structured check-ins and support systems Create stability through honest, consistent communication—especially in uncertain times Implement operational systems like standardized meetings, performance frameworks, and leadership playbooks The key takeaway: Effective management is a system, not just a role. When you invest in leadership infrastructure, engagement increases, turnover drops, and you create sustainable paths to scaling your business. Your company will only grow as far as your leadership systems allow. To learn more go to https://bizscalingblueprint.com/

What if your business could feel as nurturing to your soul as it is profitable to your bank account? In this powerful season finale, I reveal how my three-month sabbatical transformed not just my inner landscape, but completely revolutionized how I approach my business. This isn't just another "work-life balance" conversation—it's a radical reimagining of what a soul-aligned business can truly be. I'm pulling back the curtains on exactly how I identified the energy leaks draining my creative life force and the specific steps I'm taking to build a regenerative business ecosystem that amplifies my impact without depleting my spirit. For those who resonated with Ep 62's personal transformations, this ep delivers the practical business blueprint that emerged from those spiritual insights. To sum up, you'll discover how to design a business that honors both soul and strategy—where inspired action replaces forced productivity, and where structure serves creativity rather than suffocating it. Note: If you haven't yet listened to Ep 62 "What 3 Months of Complete Rest Taught Me About Success, Story, and Soul Alignment," I recommend starting there to understand the personal journey that led to this business revolution. THE THREE PILLARS OF A REGENERATIVE BUSINESS: ✨ Identify & Plug Energy Leaks The paper cuts hiding in plain sight that were silently draining my business vitality—from unnecessary team tasks to the performative content treadmill that was turning me into an "on-demand product" rather than a human being. Moreover, learn how to conduct your own energy audit and reclaim your creative sovereignty. ✨ Apply Permaculture Principles to Business Design How I'm transforming my business into a living ecosystem using insights from natural systems. Discover the revolutionary "Living Library" concept that's replacing my constant content creation with a regenerative wisdom-sharing approach that feels deeply nourishing to both me and my audience. ✨ Create Structures That Serve, Not Suffocate The complete infrastructure redesign that honors creative energy while maintaining powerful structure. Learn how I'm redefining success metrics beyond follower counts, reimagining my entire customer journey, and automating repetitive tasks to preserve my most valuable resource—my creative energy. HIGHLIGHT QUOTES: For me, the joy of building a business isn't about how fast I can scale it. It's how aligned I can grow it. Celinne Da Costa I started to feel like a product instead of a human. My sabbatical and the restructuring of my business is a big break away from that because I don't want to be an on-demand product. Celinne Da Costa I'm building a business ecosystem that regenerates rather than depletes—where structure serves creativity rather than suffocates it, and where every element plays a role in creating sustainable abundance. Celinne Da Costa TRANSFORM YOUR BUSINESS: If this episode resonated with you, I invite you to explore how these insights might transform your own business model:

Connectivity is critical to every cloud workload, video call, and customer transaction, so Massive Networks is offering a new vision for MSPs to deliver next-generation network services. In a podcast recorded for Technology Reseller News, Ken Totura, Chief Channel Officer, and James Coberly, CTO, unveiled the company's “Carrier Evolved” initiative and its flagship solution, One Pipe Multi-Connect. “Carrier Evolved isn't just a tagline—it's a rethink of what a modern network provider should be,” said Totura. “It's about reliability, security, simplicity—and a true partnership with MSPs.” One Pipe Multi-Connect: More Than a Pipe—A Platform The centerpiece of the initiative is One Pipe Multi-Connect, a high-performance fiber transport system that lets MSPs deliver multiple isolated services over a single physical connection. These can include: Premium blended internet Private Layer 2 networking VoIP-dedicated bandwidth IoT segmentation Direct cloud on-ramps (to Azure, AWS, GCP and more) Services can be scaled, modified, or added within 24–48 hours, providing the flexibility required by seasonal businesses, multi-site operations, and evolving hybrid workforces. “Think of it as a Swiss Army knife for enterprise connectivity,” said Coberly. “We're delivering data center-grade internet and private cloud access directly to the customer premises.” Built for MSPs, Not to Compete with Them Unlike some providers that sell over or around their partners, Massive Networks is 100% channel-first. The company provides engineering consultation, 24/7 live support, and a referral and revenue model that helps MSPs grow monthly recurring revenue (MRR) and increase their valuation. “MSPs can offer a higher-grade, fully customized network solution without building a NOC,” said Totura. “We handle last-mile aggregation, private transport, and cloud connectivity—globally.” Consultative, Customized Connectivity The “Carrier Evolved” approach also changes the customer conversation. By helping MSPs deliver robust, consultative, and customized network services, Massive Networks empowers end-customers to: Increase productivity by segmenting traffic and prioritizing apps Enhance brand reputation with faster, more reliable services Reduce TCO with consolidated billing and multi-service flexibility “CIOs want a simplified, secure network stack with fewer vendors and better control,” said Coberly. “We let MSPs be the single point of truth and trust.” Massive Networks supports access to 65+ million lit buildings, 500+ cloud on-ramps, and true Layer 2 isolation—with hardware encryption options for regulated industries. The Bottom Line Carrier Evolved means reliability, security, and simplicity—and it's giving MSPs a new reason to lead the connectivity conversation. Learn more at www.massivenetworks.com

Episode Summary: In this episode of Your Hope-Filled Perspective, I’m joined by my friend, Pastor Jessica Van Roekel, as we talk about something so many of us are facing today—the growing challenges of stress and a work-life balance that feels anything but balanced. Together, we share from our personal stories, our professional backgrounds, and, most importantly, from a place of faith. We offer practical strategies to help you reclaim peace, set healthy boundaries, and redefine what true success looks like. My hope is that through our honest conversation, you’ll be reminded that grace and flexibility are available, and that lasting peace is found when we anchor our lives in faith. Quotables from the episode: Stress is something we all face to a greater or lesser extent. We live in a culture that promotes “If it’s going to be, it’s up to me” but if we aren’t careful to attend to appropriate stress management, prolonged stress can have a detrimental impact on our physical, emotional, mental well-being. If we go too long, for too strong, ultimately our bodies will demand we stop. So how do we work toward better work-life balance? Stress comes from a variety of places, but if we don’t learn to manage stress, it will manage us. We as women struggle with the work/life balance in a unique way because culture tells us success is gained or lost in the workplace, yet we are often the primary caregivers for our family (including everything from laundry to holiday costume sewing to permission slip signing to kissing boo-boos). In 1970, about 43 percent of women ages 16 and older were in the labor force. By 2000, 61 percent of adult women were in the labor force and that has continued through today. Arguably, today women have more on their plates than a generation ago, with less down time to rest and restore. Stress is a physiological and psychological response that occurs when we perceive a threat or challenge that EXCEEDS OUR COPING RESOURCES. This perception triggers the body's CENTRAL STRESS MGMT SYSTEM, particularly the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the sympathetic nervous system (increased Heart Rate, Blood is directed to our muscles, increased alertness so you can face danger or run away) leading to the release of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. Once stress passes, the HPA axis should return to normal but often doesn’t because we live life in a heightened state of stress. Our brain doesn’t know the difference between good stress and bad stress. While this natural stress response is useful for short-term danger, chronic stress keeps these hormones elevated for extended periods, which can harm both mental and physical health. Perfect balance is a myth; instead, balance is fluid and flexible. Sometimes career demands take precedence, while other times, family needs do. Extending grace to yourself and adjusting priorities based on seasons of life can prevent both guilt and burnout. The myth of “multi-tasking”—it’s physiologically impossible for your brain to multitask. Physically, chronic stress can cause headaches, muscle tension, fatigue, and a weakened immune system. It also raises the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, digestive issues, and sleep disturbances, impacting overall physical wellness. Stress has significant effects on brain function and structure. ACUTE stress can sharpen focus and improve short-term performance by enhancing activity in brain regions like the amygdala and prefrontal cortex. However, chronic stress can have adverse effects and lead to structural changes in the brain, such as a reduction in the size of the hippocampus (affecting memory) and prefrontal cortex (affecting decision-making and executive function), while potentially increasing the size and activity of the amygdala (heightening emotional responses). Chronic stress often leads to constant worry, difficulty concentrating, and memory issues. The brain, under prolonged stress, struggles to function optimally, making it harder to focus and think clearly. Emotionally, prolonged stress can lead to feelings of irritability, anxiety, and even hopelessness and despair. It can cause mood swings and may contribute to depression, as persistent stress wears down emotional resilience. Constant connectivity has been shown to increase stress, as people may feel pressured by comparisons, notifications, and the need to stay updated. Increased academic and career pressures, societal instability, and economic uncertainty can all contribute to heightened stress. Having too much on our plate in one arena of our life leading to insufficient time and energy to devote to other areas of our life can spur stress. Consider adopting both a weekly and daily planning ritual across both your work and personal life whereby you establish the top 10 priorities for the week, then the top 3 priorities for each day, while circling the non-negotiable tasks. This narrows our focus and reduces the overwhelm of a long to-do list. When we consider that stress arises when situations exceed our coping resources and anxiety results from a fear of losing control, if we lower our expectations of others it leads to decreased stress & anxiety when things don’t measure up. Also, we often expect more from ourselves than do others. If you were to list everything you expect of yourself in a day or week, would you reasonably expect the same from others? Set Boundaries: we teach people how to treat us, and part of that is by setting and respecting boundaries. This includes learning to say “no” or “not now” gracefully and asking for help without guilt. Furthermore, appropriate boundary setting includes prioritizing non-negotiable family time, reserving specific hours for work, and protecting time for self-care. Consider Self-Care as Non-Negotiable: Redefine self-care as essential for your mental and physical health, including basics like adequate nutrition, exercise, scheduled rest breaks throughout the day, and consistent sleep-hygiene. Self-care also includes self-compassion especially on challenging days. There are no perfect days, but how we talk to ourselves on both good and challenging days matters! Pay attention to your thoughts and assess if you would talk to a friend the way you talk to yourself? Adopt a growth mindset: understanding that true success includes inner peace and joy, not just career milestones. Redefine “Success” in the Context of Balance: Never has anyone said at the end of their life that they wish they’d worked more. Consider envisioning a successful life that includes time for loved ones, mental wellness, and personal fulfillment. Return to Faith as Your Foundation: Surrender control to God and stay anchored in faith. Scripture References: Ecclesiastes 3 Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Isaiah 30:15 “This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: “Only in returning to me and resting in me will you be saved.

Hi there!Thank you for listening to another EP of Empower with Nancy.Have you ever put your heart and soul into something, only to watch it fall apart? You planned, you led, you gave it everything you had… and yet, the failure still showed up. It's frustrating, discouraging, and sometimes downright painful. So what do you do when things don't go as planned?Today, we're talking about something no one really likes to discuss—how to lead through failure. Not around it. Not past it. But right through it, with wisdom, grace, and grit.If you're feeling the weight of a setback—whether it's a business launch that didn't go as expected, a tough conversation that didn't land right, or a personal risk that didn't turn out the way you hoped—this episode is for you.⇨ A new way to look at failure—one that helps you grow instead of holding you back.⇨ Real-life lessons from my own experiences with failure (and how I came out stronger).⇨ Three powerful steps to move forward with confidence and clarity.✔ Own it. Acknowledge the failure instead of avoiding it.✔ Lead with transparency. Don't let shame take over—share what you've learned.✔ Redefine success. Failure isn't the end; it's part of the journey forward.By the end of this episode, you'll walk away feeling empowered, knowing that failure isn't a stop sign—it's a signal that you're in the arena, doing the work.With Gratitude, Nancy

Spinoco Launches Microbusiness-Focused CX Platform at Cloud Connections In an industry increasingly focused on the enterprise, a new player is flipping the script. In a special Technology Reseller News and Cloud Communications Alliance podcast, telecom veterans Michael Tessler and Pavel Chlupáček announced the North American launch of Spinoco, a digital front-office platform built specifically for micro and small businesses. The launch is set to coincide with Cloud Connections 2025, April 14–16 in St. Petersburg, Florida. “Spinoco is for businesses with one to 20 lines, the ones often left behind in the rush to serve enterprise,” said Tessler. “We're bringing customer interaction management, task tracking, and AI-powered insights into one intuitive app.” Spinoco integrates UC, CCaaS, CRM, and ticketing functions into a single mobile-first experience. Every customer touchpoint—email, call, SMS, or social—is automatically captured, categorized, and converted into actionable tasks. The system includes native AI capabilities like transcription, intent tagging, and summarization. “Our focus is usability,” said Chlupáček. “This is not enterprise tech crammed into a small package. It's built from the ground up for small businesses that need simplicity and mobility.” The platform's design eliminates the need for separate CRMs, third-party integrations, or on-site IT. Spinoco also provides owners with immediate visibility into business performance—offering insights like “top reasons customers contacted us this week” without the need for manual data entry. The go-to-market strategy will focus on service providers, offered as a white-label SaaS solution. Tessler emphasized the importance of speed and simplicity: “Service providers need a low-touch, high-value offering. Spinoco is ready for fast rollout, without the support overhead.” At Cloud Connections, the Spinoco team will be exhibiting, offering live demos, and participating in the Innovation Showcase, where attendees can vote on standout new technologies. Tessler is also slated to deliver a keynote on AI trends shaping the industry.

Discipline wasn't saving me. It was silently destroying me. Have you ever been praised for how hard you push—while breaking inside? I used to be the woman who “had it all together.” Disciplined. Reliable. High-performing. But under the surface? I was a storm in a perfectly tailored outfit. I never missed a workout—even when I was sick. I tracked every calorie like my life depended on it. I said yes when I meant no. I showed up for others when I was falling apart. I confused exhaustion with impact. I called obsession “excellence.” But what I didn't know was this: My “discipline” was a trauma response. My “drive” was dysregulation. My “success” was self-abandonment in disguise. I didn't believe I was allowed to rest. Because deep down, I didn't believe I was worthy unless I earned it. Society clapped for my grind. But I was building a life on the edge of a breakdown. Let's stop glorifying the grind that's killing us. Redefine discipline. Not as destruction—but as devotion.   Phenyx Fit Kate Hastings Podcast  @coachkate1  Mental Health Coach

How does a bodybuilder go from steroids and stage lights to running sneakers and self-discovery? In episode 764 of the Savage Perspective Podcast, host Robert Sikes sits down with Dan Caron for an unfiltered conversation about ditching the pursuit of extreme aesthetics and chasing a more authentic, balanced version of fitness. This story isn't just about muscles; it's about resilience, mental grit, and redefining what it means to truly be “fit.”Dan Caron shares his raw transition from being a competitive bodybuilder to stepping into the world of running and natural fitness. He opens up about the physical toll of steroids, rapid weight gain, and the struggle of shifting from a ripped physique to focusing on endurance and overall health. If you've ever felt conflicted about your goals or wondered what lies beyond looks, this conversation hits close to home.Starting out as a powerlifter, Dan mastered strength under the guidance of elite trainers before pivoting to bodybuilding. But when the spotlight faded, he was left with a deeper question: what does true fitness look like? Together, Dan and Robert peel back the layers of societal expectations, revealing the emotional challenges of letting go of a “perfect” body and embracing running while staying connected to weightlifting and the gym community he loves.As Dan ventured into running, he faced unexpected hurdles—mentally, physically, and even logistically. Finding the right running shoes for his unique mechanics turned into a symbol of this new chapter. He talks about embracing short casual runs, discovering hidden trails, and even preparing for bigger challenges like a half marathon. These humbling experiences taught him that fitness isn't just about how you look in the mirror but how you feel when you push your limits.But this conversation doesn't stop at running. Dan's story also delves into the entrepreneurial mindset. Drawing from his experience in fitness marketing and product development, Dan identifies gaps in the industry—like tailored supplements for runners—and shares the passion behind creating solutions that reflect his personal journey. Through it all, he balances growing as an athlete, an entrepreneur, and someone who's seeking true health, for both body and mind.This episode of the Savage Perspective Podcast is packed with raw emotion, practical tips, and a deeply inspirational narrative that challenges what we think we know about fitness, success, and perseverance. Dan Caron's story will resonate with anyone striving for balance between ambition and authenticity, whether you're a CEO pushing forward at work, a coach helping others reach their goals, or simply someone trying to navigate the ups and downs of personal growth.Take a front-row seat to this vulnerable, inspiring conversation between Robert Sikes and Dan Caron. Redefine how you see fitness. Redefine how you see yourself. Episode 764 is for those ready to dig deep and truly embrace growth in all its challenging, honest forms.Register For My FREE Masterclass: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registrationGet Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Chapters:0:00 Intro: From Bodybuilding to Running0:03 Big Challenges After Fitness Shift1:56 From Powerlifting to Bodybuilding6:21 Fitness Is More Than Looks8:33 Steroids to Running: New Goals12:49 Mental Struggles with Body Changes14:44 Training for a Half Marathon18:29 Finding the Perfect Running Shoes20:22 Ultra-Running's Mental Challenge23:50 Financial Struggles to Fitness Career25:31 Creating Top Fitness Products29:10 Filling a Gap for Runners30:58 Building a Runner Community34:45 Amazon: Key to Brand Growth36:44 Scaling Through Amazon Success40:45 Ensuring Product Quality42:40 Real Partnerships in Marketing46:33 Ads That Focus on Benefits48:21 Solving Protein Problems52:16 Starting a Supplement Brand54:14 Dreaming Big: Selling to Nike58:05 Event Success Through Strategy1:00:01 Balancing Business and Passion

Today on the show Colin, Producer Dave, and Outdoor Industry Insider Eoin Comerford have some innovative suggestions for the outdoor industry.Innovation in the outdoors is a misunderstood word. It's often only applied to the performance of the apparel, gear, and footwear that the industry produces. And while there will surely be advances that will improve the stuff we make the opportunity for the industry to innovate lies more within our approach to making and marketing that stuff.On this episode we take a look at what can be learned from (gasp!) fast fashion as well as the opportunities that lie within experiential marketing.

Spring has a way of making us want to throw open the windows, clear out the junk drawer, and scrub every surface until it gleams. There's something about the longer days and lighter evenings that stirs up the urge for a fresh start. But while we're wiping down shelves and hauling out bags of donations, how often do we think about the clutter we can't see?I'm talking about the emotional and mental mess, the overwhelm, the overcommitting, the perfectionism that quietly weighs us down. The things we carry around in our heads and hearts long after they've outlived their purpose. So today, let's talk about a different kind of spring cleaning the kind that makes space in your soul.Let's slow down and journey together through the seasons with simplicity and intention. Subscribe to receive simple musings directly in your inbox.Letting Go of Mental ClutterWe all know what it feels like to walk into a room that's messy and chaotic. Your eyes don't know where to land, your mind feels scattered, and it's hard to focus. Now, imagine that same disarray but inside your head.Mental clutter shows up in so many ways:* Overwhelm from trying to juggle too many responsibilities.* Overcommitting because you're afraid of letting people down.* Perfectionism keeping you stuck, convincing you that if it's not flawless, it's not worth doing.Sound familiar? Me too.For a long time, I was the queen of overcommitting. I'd agree to things before checking my calendar, thinking I could somehow squeeze in one more thing. I'd say yes when my whole being was begging for a no. And perfectionism? She was my unwanted sidekick. I'd rewrite emails three times before sending them. I'd overthink captions to the point of deleting them. It was exhausting.But here's what I've learned: you can't create a slow and simple life if your mind is constantly racing. You can't feel at ease if your thoughts are tangled up in ‘shoulds' and ‘not enoughs'.How to Clear the Mental Clutter:* Simplify your inputs: Cut back on the noise. Mute accounts that leave you feeling inadequate. Reduce notifications. Give yourself permission to answer messages when you have capacity, not instantly.* Set gentle boundaries: Protect your peace by saying no, even when it's uncomfortable. It's okay to turn down a request or step back from a commitment if it's stretching you too thin.* Ditch perfectionism: Done is better than perfect. Let good enough be enough. You're allowed to send the email, share the post, or finish the project without polishing it to oblivion.I set up a Buy Me a Coffee as a simple and meaningful way for those who enjoy my work to support the abundance of free content I create. From my podcast, newsletters, and Instagram posts to the thoughtful resources I share, so much of what I do is fueled by a love for slow, simple, and seasonal living.If my content has ever inspired, encouraged, or supported you on your journey, and you'd like to give back in a small way, buying me a coffee is a beautiful way to do so and starts at £1. Every contribution helps me continue sharing free content while also supporting the time, energy, and love that goes into creating it.Your support, whether through a coffee or simply by engaging with my content, means the world to me. Thank you for being part of this slow and intentional space!Refreshing Routines & Creating Space for RestSpring is nature's gentle nudge to refresh, to shed what feels heavy and make room for lightness. And that doesn't just mean deep-cleaning your kitchen cupboards. It also means taking a good look at your daily rhythms.I used to have this habit of clinging to routines that no longer worked for me. Even when they felt clunky and draining, I'd stick with them out of habit. But spring is a beautiful reminder that it's okay to let your routines evolve with the season.Ask yourself:* Are your current rhythms fuelling or draining you?* Do you need more slowness in your mornings or more stillness in your evenings?* Could you loosen the grip on routines that feel too rigid?For me, refreshing my routine in spring looks like:* Swapping the coffee on the sofa mornings for coffee in the garden mornings.* Slowing down my evenings by reading with soft lighting instead of scrolling my phone.* Leaving white space in my calendar just for the sake of it—no tasks, no plans, just room to breathe.How to Create Space for Rest:* Prioritise white space: You don't have to fill every hour. Leaving space in your schedule allows room for spontaneity, creativity, and genuine rest.* Build transition moments: Add tiny moments of pause between activities. A short walk after work, a tea break before tackling the next task…it all counts.* Redefine productivity: Rest doesn't need to be earned. It's not a reward for getting everything done, it's the fuel that makes everything else sustainable.Your Soulful Spring Cleaning Prompt:If you're feeling ready to do some internal spring cleaning, here's a gentle journaling prompt to sit with:“What am I holding onto that feels heavy, and what would it feel like to set it down?”Let yourself write freely. Don't overthink it. Let the words flow onto the page without judgement.And if you find that you're carrying more than you realised, be gentle with yourself. Spring cleaning for the soul is not about fixing, it's about lightening. It's about making just a little more space for the things that breathe life into you.Let's slow down and journey together through the seasons with simplicity and intention. Subscribe to receive simple musings directly in your inbox.Give Yourself Permission to Let GoSo, as you dust off your shelves and scrub your floors this spring, I hope you'll also make time to dust off your soul. To clear out the self-imposed pressure, the perfectionism, and the emotional clutter that no longer fits.Because you deserve to feel lighter. You deserve to breathe easier. You deserve a spring that feels spacious, not just in your home, but in your heart.Let me know: what are you letting go of this spring? Share your reflections with me over on Instagram or in the comments. I'd love to hear what you're releasing and making space for. To hear more, visit theslowlivingcollective.substack.com
