Podcasts about reflecting

This week on Sheena Interrupted, we are looking back at 2016, when we had two little kids, a camera roll full of smiling selfies, and no idea how depleted we actually were. We talk candidly about that season and what ten years of perspective has shown us. We weren't behind. We were just in it.We (TRID) also spiraled about leftover confetti from our 100th episode, took an unexpected but very serious glaucoma detour, and listened to TRID pitch a plan involving a random Chad or possibly a goat to boost our views.If you're navigating parenting, career pressure, or a season that feels heavier than you expected, this episode is for you. This week's sponsor:MintMobile.com/Sheena 

God’s favor is often revealed through obedience, not comfort. This Christian devotional explores what it truly means to be highly favored by God, using Mary’s willing response to God’s calling as a model of surrendered faith. Rooted in Luke 1:38, it challenges believers to say yes to God—even when obedience comes at a high personal cost. Highlights God’s favor is often revealed through obedience and surrender Mary’s willingness shows faith that trusts God despite uncertainty God qualifies those He calls when they respond in humility Obedience may require sacrificing comfort, security, and reputation Saying yes to God can lead to lasting spiritual impact God honors hearts that are willing to serve at any cost Faith grows when we trust God beyond what we can understand Do you want to listen ad-free?

He came to me one day and talked to me about the change, as we were already pastoring a church at a great distance from where we had originally grown up. My husband shared that he had a vision of a different kind of church and felt God was calling him to plant one. Honestly, I didn't sense the same calling. But I trusted him, and in submission, followed him in his endeavors. After five years, the church closed due to financial constraints and declining attendance. Reflecting on that time in our lives, it would be easy for me to blame my husband and say he didn't hear God correctly. I could even say that, because I didn't sense his calling, I should have stopped it. There is a saying, “God doesn't call the qualified, he qualifies the called.” The Lord honors our obedience to do whatever we feel God may be calling us to do. Although it's not always easy to hear what the Lord is saying and to discern whether a calling is our thoughts or God's, God honors our hearts when we choose to give up many things to fulfill His purpose. Mary's response to the angel’s visitation is one we should all emulate. It's interesting to note that Mary was at first troubled by the angel's words because God highly favored her. However, once the Angel explained to her exactly what that might mean, her response above demonstrates that, even amidst difficulty, peril, and public humiliation, she was willing to fulfill God's call. Unlike many people in the Bible, Mary never flinched at the obedience God was calling her to. She, like Jesus, considered herself a servant of God. She was willing to do whatever He wanted, whenever He wanted. Think about your life. What is your response when God calls you to do something? Do you immediately ignore it, believing it is only your thoughts rather than God's thoughts? Analyze the difference in your response between something easy that God calls you to do, versus something more difficult that God calls you to do. Do you find you respond more readily to something that doesn't cost you significant comfort, time, money, or resources? Mary said yes to God regardless of the high cost. Being a young girl, she knew she would be subjected to public ridicule, humiliation, rumors, and false accusations regarding the father of that baby. She also risked losing Joseph, her betrothed. In her human nature, part of her must have worried about Joseph's response when he learned of her news. Would he believe her? Would he think, like so many others, that she had had relations with a man other than him? Although the Angel of the Lord protected her from the misery that would come from a divorce, she chose to forsake personal comfort for the sake of serving the Lord. She considered herself a lowly servant, ready to serve God at a moment's notice. If God asked you to do something great for Him, what would you do? Would you sell your home, move to a new location, or give up all your luxuries and comforts just to serve God? Analyze your heart as you read these words. What emotions do the above words evoke for you? Do you feel excited to serve the Lord, or do you feel a sense of dread, anxiety, or anger? Mary was ready to serve God on a moment’s notice. She chose to accept a calling that cost her dearly in this life, but in the end, would make her known as the mother of Jesus for generations to come. Mary, once a lowly servant girl, was elevated to the position of the mother of God's son all by saying yes to God. She wouldn't have it any other way. Would you? Father, let us be people who accept God's calling even if it comes at a high cost. Let us consider ourselves servants who, upon hearing God highly favors us, are willing to serve Him at any cost. Let us forsake our own comforts, luxuries, money, time, and resources to further the gospel. Let us accept God's calling even if we don't fully understand what costs will come to us as we do. Amen. Intersecting Faith & Life: Has God ever called you to do something great for Him? What was your response?

Bonita Norris became the youngest woman to reach both the summit of Mt Everest at just 22 and the North Pole at 23, and her story is nothing short of extraordinary. In this episode, she shares the journey that took her from school trips in North Wales to climbing some of the world's highest peaks, navigating extreme environments, and pushing the limits of what's possible. Bonita reflects on the early steps that built her career in mountaineering—starting with beginner climbing courses, funding her expeditions, and preparing for the Himalayan peaks. She opens up about the mental and physical challenges of summiting Everest, managing fear in remote and hostile environments, and how these experiences shaped her life and perspective. Now a mother of two, Bonita also discusses how she balances adventure with family life, inspiring her children to embrace courage and curiosity. From attempting K2 to climbing the Matterhorn after an eight-year hiatus, she emphasises the importance of showing up, trusting the process, and meeting opportunity with determination.

Londinium Winter 92AD. Reflecting on military history, the speakers contrast the strategic genius of Hannibal and the eccentric audacity of WWII commando Lord Lovat with the current state of American forces. Germanicus asserts that the "marauder" spirit of figures like Andrew Jackson or the Normans has vanished from the U.S. military, which he describes as a "submissive subculture" focused on maintaining privilege rather than victory. He concludes that the American system is too ossified for reform, arguing that the nation is in a period of rupture that requires a "new empire" to survive.1910 CARTHAGE THEATER EXCAVATED

Kevin Lane is the executive chef and co-owner of The Cookery and The Lone Chicharron Taqueria in Seward, and he was recently named as a James Beard Award semifinalist. Reflecting on that recognition, he says it wouldn't have been possible without his team at The Cookery, or the kitchens and crews from his past that shaped the way he cooks today. Those roots stretch back to California's Sacramento area, where he was raised on crockpot meals, black-eyed peas, and lentil stew, before he found his way into kitchens in San Diego. Around nineteen, he was eating street tacos, shucking oysters, and learning the pace of restaurant life — first on the cold oyster bar, then on the hotline, where teamwork and discipline took root. Those early experiences still show up in his food today — the steady presence of Mexican influence, the belief that cooking is ultimately about making people happy, and he's still shucking oysters.  He was still early in his career when he moved to Juneau to work as a Sous Chef. There, and later in Sitka, he recognized the realities of Alaska's food system, how kitchens relied heavily on frozen and canned goods because they were dependable. Orders had to be placed seven to ten days out, and even then, fresh vegetables and herbs might arrive frozen and mushy. It was a lot different from working in California, where you could order produce in the morning and expect it that afternoon. The learning curve was steep, but learning to adapt is what good cooks do. So, given Alaska's abundance of fresh seafood, he adjusted his cooking and learned to let fish become the focus. And now that there's more access to farm-fresh produce than ever before, the constraints that once defined cooking in Alaska have eased, expanding what's possible on a menu.

Understanding whether you're facing one or both of these challenges can significantly impact your approach to healing and your overall well-being. I want listeners to recognize that not all feelings of anxiety stem from anxiety itself; sometimes, they are the result of chronic stress that has built up over time. This episode aims to offer clarity on this often-overlooked difference, and I hope it resonates with those who feel overwhelmed by their symptoms.I begin by addressing common questions that many people encounter, such as feelings of constant anxiety without an identifiable cause. It's essential to know that this could be a sign of chronic stress rather than anxiety. I highlight how the symptoms of these two experiences, while similar, stem from different roots and require different approaches to healing. Chronic stress can manifest due to long-term demands on our nervous system, such as caregiving responsibilities, emotional labor, unresolved trauma, or the everyday pressures of life. Recognizing this is key, as treating chronic stress like anxiety often leads to frustration and a feeling of failure.I then explore the characteristics of anxiety, which is primarily fear-based and anticipatory in nature. Anxiety manifests through relentless worry about potential threats, whether they are real or imagined. The connection to physical sensations is also accentuated, as anxiety commonly presents itself through symptoms like racing heartbeats and shallow breathing. Contrasting this, I elaborate on chronic stress, which revolves more around the load one carries rather than perceived threats. Chronic stress can leave individuals feeling exhausted yet wired, emotionally numb, or lacking joy and motivation.#AnxietyRecovery #ChronicStress #MentalHealthAwareness #NervousSystemHealth #GinaRyan #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #StressRelief #SelfCare #BurnoutRecovery #HealingJourney #Mindfulness #TiredButWired #MentalWellness #SelfCompassion #PolyvagalTheory #StressManagement #AnxietySupport #EmotionalWellness #InnerPeace #Overwhelmed #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

https://www.djfrankdelour.com/BioWith his new single “AYA,” DJ Frank Delour delivers a compelling Afro House release built for dance floors worldwide. Layered conga rhythms, warm keyboard chords, textured sound design, and soulful African vocals come together in an uplifting, peak-hour–ready track that stays true to Delour's signature sound. “AYA” follows a series of 2025 releases and reflects Delour's intention to close out the year on a high note. “I wanted a powerful record that was uplifting and still adhered to my style,” he says. “Something that could easily be the choice to rock the crowd during peak hours.” Living a distinctly cosmopolitan lifestyle, Delour performs exclusive dates across the globe—from Rome to St. Tropez while splitting his time between Miami Beach and New York City for luxury-market residencies and studio work. He is currently in the midst of a three-week residency at Papaya Playa Project in Tulum, Mexico, performing alongside artists such as Lee Burridge and Marten Lou. Since 2021, Delour has maintained an impressively prolific output, releasing more than 40 singles. At the core of Delour's music is an unmistakably positive energy, which he attributes to his conversion to Buddhism several years ago. “I had to step away from derogatory and misogynistic themes in certain genres if I was going to be true to what I was practicing,” he explains. Afro House became the perfect outlet—allowing him to create spiritually uplifting music aligned with his values. His goal is simple yet profound: to inspire. Delour hopes his tracks carry hope, healing, and positive energy qualities shaped by his own journey through struggle, resilience, and reinvention. Delour's career began in the 1990s, including a production deal with Island Records, followed by years as a sought-after collaborator producing and programming drums for major acts such as NSYNC. While major-label success brought financial rewards, it also came with creative compromises. Reflecting on his journey, Delour recently wrote on Instagram:“I have risen, fallen, risen again… reset, restarted, reinvented. Gotten opportunities, lost opportunities. Offered $1 million, lost the contract. Rejoiced, suffered, failed and tried again. My journey feels like an eternity of hills and valleys, but one thing stayed consistent: I kept going.” Now, with clarity earned through experience, Frank Delour is fully focused on his own artistic path. “Even though the monetary success of being part of a major label was great,” he says, “the most important thing for me right now is being able to hone in on my own vision answer to no one and do it my way, at my own pace.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

Episode #473: “The military was pursuing an illiberal strategy to peace, and Norway became complicit, not necessarily by design, but by its effect, it became a de facto sponsor of a strategy for illiberal peace building by the military.” Kristian Stokke draws on decades of research across Sri Lanka, South Africa, and Indonesia, where Norway's peace efforts often reinforced state dominance rather than confronting inequality. He argues that Myanmar followed the same trajectory. “Norway became the envoy of the West that went in to test the waters,” he recalls, acting as a diplomatic go-between for Western powers eager to engage Myanmar's generals. “When we came to Myanmar, it was very clear that Norway's engagement was interest-based. It was no longer pretending to be just altruistic.” Norway's involvement, he continues, was driven as much by self-interest as by moral aspiration: “as a diplomat, as an aid donor and as an investor.” He goes on to describe that as a result, the so-called democratic opening of the 2010s was not a genuine transition: “This was not the negotiated transition of South Africa or Latin American countries in the 1980s,” Stokke explains. “It was an authoritarian-led transition to less closed dictatorship or electoral autocracy.” He believes Norway's peacebuilding “actually undermined the forces for power sharing and democracy,” focusing too much on the state and too little on democratic and ethnic movements. Reflecting on the years since the coup, Stokke laments Norway's caution: “At times, I find it surprising or unfortunate that they don't come out in support of those actors who are really at the forefront of the struggle for better democracy in Myanmar.”

In this week's episode of Social Work Radio, out hosts Vince and Cara turn their attention to the Maria Coto bill and what it could mean for social worker safety. Reflecting on the murder of child protective services worker Maria Coto in New York in 2024, the conversation explores why lawmakers are pushing for new criminal offences for assaults and threats against social workers, whether tougher laws genuinely make practitioners safer, or whether they mainly offer reassurance after tragedy. Drawing on UK and international perspectives, Cara and Vince unpack the uncomfortable tension between legal protections, practical safety measures, and the realities of frontline work, from lone-working systems to staffing pressures and organisational culture. Alongside the serious discussion, listeners should stay tuned for a lighter moment too - Cara has some wonderful news to share with Vince... Created by  social workers, for social workers. Join the conversation every Friday morning.

As I reflect on 2025, I am reminded of the moments that have irreversibly changed my heart. I've had to say goodbye to my beloved cat Sid and his sister, Nancy, both of whom have accompanied me so loyally through life's ups and downs. Looking back, it feels as though 2025 was a year of significant shedding, akin to the symbolic Year of the Snake, where things holding me back were stripped away to reveal new beginnings. Now, as I navigate through the waves of sorrow, I find solace in the tender memories shared and the immense love Sid imparted. Reflecting on all those who have touched my life this year, I feel a deep sense of gratitude for their presence and the unique imprints they left upon my soul.Now That You Ask is a podcast that looks at topics that range from death to desire, and from wondrous to downright whacky.

2026 is an important year for the Greater Hartford Gives Foundation. After celebrating its centennial anniversary in 2025, the former Hartford Foundation for Public Giving kicked off the year with a major rebranding and plans for a new headquarters in Hartford's North End. Foundation president and CEO Jay Williams joined the CBIA BizCast to highlight the nonprofit's mission and new chapter. “We wanted a name that was actionable and modern,” he said. “‘Greater Hartford Gives Foundation' speaks to the breadth of our reach and the fact that giving is bidirectional—the community and donors give to us, and we give back to the community.” The foundation partners with donors and nonprofits to support residents in 29 communities that make up Greater Hartford. Williams said their focus is to “dismantle structural racism and help build equitable opportunities” in areas including basic human needs, employment and education, thriving neighborhoods, civic and resident engagement, and the arts. “The mission is about putting philanthropy into action to create lasting solutions, to help add vibrancy to all the 29 towns that we serve.” Williams said their centennial year showcased those priorities in practice. The foundation recapitalized local funds in each of its 29 towns with $100,000 for volunteer-led grantmaking, launched the Greater Future Scholarship in partnership with Hartford Promise—providing up to $100,000 in financial assistance plus a decade of wraparound supports—and announced $6 million in investments for artists and arts organizations across the region. The nonprofit also partnered with the Connecticut Forum for an event with President Barack Obama in Hartford. “The entire year was about just trying to convey to the community how deeply appreciative we were, and continue to be of their generosity, and to also demonstrate that we are here for good—we are here for the next 100 years,” Williams said. The foundation closed the year by unveiling the new name and a plan to break ground on a community-centered headquarters in the city's North End. The building will serve as a community hub, convening donors and nonprofits. It will also offer a no-cost space for neighborhood groups and community organizations. “We want to assist the small businesses in that Albany Avenue, Main Street corridor. We want the citizens and the neighborhood groups to have access,” he said. Williams' path to the foundation began in Youngstown, Ohio, a city he said has a similar blue-collar grit and perseverance to Hartford. After starting his career in banking, he moved into public service as the city's director of community development. He was elected mayor in 2005, becoming the youngest and first Black mayor in the city's history. His focus on economic revival eventually led him to Washington, D.C., where he joined the Obama administration in 2005 with roles focused on community and economic development. Williams said he never sought out the position in the administration but felt humbled by the opportunity. "When your secretary calls and says, 'The White House is on the phone,' you've got to take that call," he said. Williams joined the foundation in 2017. “The board was looking for someone with some community economic development background,” he said. “To me, I was like, this is the perfect combination. If someone said, ‘write your next perfect job,' this would have been it.” Reflecting on his career, Williams said each chapter has reinforced the same lesson: “It's more important to be impactful than it is to be successful,” he said. “If you focus on relevance and impact, success will follow.” Related Links: Greater Hartford Gives Website: https://greaterhartfordgives.org/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/greaterhartfordgives/ Jay Williams LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jay-williams47/ CBIA Website: https://www.cbia.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/cbia/

SummaryIn this episode, Dr. Natalie explores the concept of 'The Great Unlearning,' a transformative journey that challenges the societal belief that doing everything right leads to a fulfilling life. She reflects on her personal experiences, particularly during midlife, where she realized that striving for perfection and external validation often leads to burnout and disillusionment. Dr. Natalie emphasizes the importance of self-worth and the need to reclaim it from within, rather than through external achievements or approval. Through poignant anecdotes, she illustrates how the pressure to conform to societal expectations can lead to a double life and emotional turmoil, ultimately advocating for a shift towards self-love and acceptance.Dr. Natalie introduces the metaphor of the tugboat versus the lighthouse to illustrate the difference between exhausting oneself in the pursuit of perfection and standing firm in one's self-worth. She encourages listeners to reflect on their own lives, identifying where they may be sacrificing their well-being in the name of doing everything right. The episode serves as a powerful reminder that true fulfillment comes from within, and that midlife can be an opportunity for profound personal growth and self-discovery.Keywords:midlife, self-worth, personal growth, self-love, great unlearning, emotional well-being, tugboat lighthouse metaphor, reclaiming self-worth, Dr. NatalieTakeaways:The version of you that you're most proud of may be blocking your actual life.Midlife can be an invitation to examine the mess of our lives and love it as it is.Reclaiming self-worth from the inside out is essential for true fulfillment.Sound bites:"What if I told you that the version of you that you're most proud of... is in the way of your actual life?""Today we're gonna talk about the great unlearning.""You do not need to fix yourself.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with my friend and colleague Dr. Jenn Weaver, a developmental psychologist and associate professor at Boise State University, about the profound impact fathers have on their daughters and, in turn, on the mothers they become. Our conversation was inspired by Jennifer's moving Substack piece, An Ode to Fathers on Mother's Day, which resonated deeply with me as both a father of 2 daughters and a son. We explored how positive father involvement shapes a child's sense of independence, confidence, and emotional well-being. Dr. Weaver shared personal stories about her own father—how his presence, encouragement, and unique parenting style influenced her approach to motherhood and her understanding of intergenerational connections. We also discussed the research, which often focuses on the negative effects of father absence, and highlighted the need for more attention on the positive roles fathers play. Reflecting on my own experiences as a dad, I found myself relating to the idea that fatherhood not only benefits children and families but also transforms fathers themselves. I hope this episode encourages listeners to consider the many ways fathers shape our lives and inspires deeper appreciation for their lasting influence.

Every month inside The Lab, I do what I call a monthly retro. It's short for retrospective. The idea is that, on a regular basis, you look back at what you have just done to learn from it, course-correct, and move forward. So in my monthly retros, I look at the good things that happened, how I performed against my goals, the concerns I currently have, the changes I'm going to make moving forward, and my goals for next month. → Join The Lab → Subscribe to the newsletter → Read my 2025 Year In Review ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Full transcript and show notes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ *** TIMESTAMPS (00:00) Reflecting on Growth and Challenges (05:27) Strong Year-End Revenue Insights (07:37) Signature Product Lab Launch (13:35) Life-Changing Chair Experience (16:23) Christmas Joy and New Nanny (19:32) Video Podcasts Drive Higher Engagement (20:53) Podcast Reflections and Hosting Challenges (26:13) Social Detox and Podcast Focus (29:04) Refining Strategy and Delegation (30:51) Prioritizing Quality Over Schedule (34:02) Exciting Updates and Reflections *** ASK CREATOR SCIENCE → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Submit your question here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ *** WHEN YOU'RE READY

Marley guides me through a powerful Clear the Fear Method session, where a deeply rooted fear of failure surfaces and reveals how the subconscious mind can quietly keep us from manifesting what we desire most. We explore how limiting beliefs are often passed down through generations and how clearing them can create profound emotional, energetic, and physical shifts.This episode is especially meaningful if you are navigating fear around relationships, parenting, self worth, people pleasing, or using your voice. I share my real time experience as Marley explains how the subconscious prioritizes safety over desire and how visualization and somatic awareness can help release long held beliefs and regulate the nervous system.

Ralston College Dr President Stephen Blackwood speaks with newly appointed Chancellor Dr Iain McGilchrist about the fate of the universities and their role in the future of civilization. Reflecting on education, tradition, and the conditions necessary for genuine understanding, Dr McGilchrist shares his hope that we can restore places of truth, beauty, and wisdom despite the pressures of  reductionism, instrumentality, and mechanistic thought. The conversation also traces prevailing academic narratives such as reduction and computation, which risk a flattening of human life into utility, data, and procedure.
