Podcasts about releasing

January 2026 doesn't arrive quietly — it arrives with intention. In this episode, we explore the energetic tone of the month, the major planetary movements shaping your decisions, and why this is a powerful time to release outdated timelines and reclaim authority over your life. This is not about forcing resolutions or hustling your way into the new year. January asks you to slow down, listen deeper, and align with what is actually sustainable for you — emotionally, spiritually, and energetically. You'll hear how the month's astrology supports long-term vision, disciplined intuition, and embodied leadership, plus what themes may be surfacing collectively and personally as we step into 2026. If you've felt called to reset, realign, and move forward with clarity rather than pressure — this episode is for you.   SUPPORT THIS PODCAST AND MY CONTENT WITH A DONATION: buymeacoffee.com/erussopmrp0 ⏱ Approximate Timestamps 00:00 – 02:30 Welcome + setting the energetic tone for January 2026 02:30 – 06:45 Why January feels different this year & the collective reset energy 06:45 – 13:30 Major planetary themes influencing January 2026 13:30 – 20:15 Emotional and intuitive lessons surfacing this month 20:15 – 26:30 How to work with the energy instead of forcing outcomes 26:30 – 32:00 Themes around boundaries, authority, and long-term vision 32:00 – 36:30 Practical ways to ground this energy in daily life 36:30 – 40:00 Final reflections + intuitive guidance for moving into February ✨ Key Themes Covered Collective reset energy for the start of 2026 Releasing pressure, timelines, and false urgency Building sustainability instead of burnout Embodied leadership and intuitive discipline Aligning goals with your nervous system, not just your mind

A new year always brings fresh energy, possibility, and—if we're honest—a little fear. Especially in real estate, where every January 1st our numbers reset to zero and we feel like we're starting all over again.   In this episode, Karen shares her 2026 Word of the Year … and why her original word choice just wasn't enough.   Listen in as she talks about: • How choosing a Word of the Year has guided her life and business for over a decade • Why open felt safe—but not fully transformative • What surrender really means (and what it doesn't) • Releasing the illusion of control, timelines, and other people's expectations • Letting go of old ways of working, people-pleasing, and carrying everything for everyone • Journaling prompts to help you choose your own word for the year ahead   If you've been feeling a nudge toward something deeper, different, or more aligned in this next season, this episode will give you language, courage, and a gentle push forward.   Listen now to episode 386 of Empowering Women in Real Estate® – The Podcast on your favorite podcast app or by clicking the link below.     Click subscribe to be notified every Wednesday when our latest episode is released, and be sure to check out our group on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweringwomeninrealestate We are 40,000 members strong and we want you to join us!

The missing 82-page federal charging document represents the single most consequential suppressed record in the Jeffrey Epstein case. Prepared by federal prosecutors in 2007, it reportedly laid out a sweeping case involving interstate sex trafficking, recruitment networks, and co-conspirator conduct that could have ended Epstein's abuse years earlier. Instead, the Department of Justice abandoned the federal prosecution without a transparent explanation and replaced it with a narrowly constructed state plea deal that insulated Epstein and foreclosed broader accountability. Survivors and their attorneys have long argued that this was not a matter of weak evidence or prosecutorial caution, but a deliberate decision to contain exposure and protect institutional interests rather than pursue justice.The DOJ's continued refusal to release the charging document has become a central symbol of institutional self-protection overriding accountability. Despite Epstein's death and repeated demands from victims invoking their rights under federal law, the department has declined to even formally acknowledge the document, signaling deep concern about what its contents would reveal. Critics argue that full disclosure is now essential to restoring credibility, as the suppression of the document not only obscured how close Epstein came to federal prosecution but also set a dangerous precedent that reputation management can supersede the rule of law. Without releasing the full record behind the Non-Prosecution Agreement—including the abandoned charging document—claims of transparency and reform remain hollow.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

As we wrap up the year, we're inviting you into a different kind of year-end ritual—one that's less about resolutions and more about reflection. In this episode, we're doing a midlife audit: looking honestly at what we're ready to shed and what we want to intentionally carry forward into 2026. From other people's opinions to outdated expectations, we're talking about the emotional baggage that quietly drains our energy—and how freeing it can be to finally let it go.We also dig into what we're keeping: connection, meaning, nervous system regulation, health, authenticity, and the freedom to live outside the status quo. This is a grounded, honest conversation about midlife as a season of shedding skins, reclaiming agency, and choosing a life that actually feels good to live. If you're craving clarity, permission, and a more intentional way to step into the new year, this one's for you. Episode Highlights:[0:46] – Kicking off a year-end audit instead of traditional resolutions [1:18] – The inspiration behind “not caring anymore” at midlife [3:03] – Letting go as a lifelong practice and why shedding gets easier with age [4:40] – Releasing other people's opinions about our bodies, habits, and choices [7:44] – Being done with explaining ourselves—bedtimes included [9:28] – Downsizing, simplifying, and redefining what “home” needs to be now [13:09] – Midlife as a season of shedding and making space for what's next [14:45] – Letting go of one-sided or draining friendships [16:43] – Prioritizing nervous system regulation and protecting our peace [17:42] – Giving up pretending we're fine when we're not [20:00] – Choosing depth, authenticity, and real conversations over small talk [22:06] – What we're keeping: health, strength, movement, and time outdoors [24:56] – Filtering life through meaning, purpose, and connection [25:51] – Saying yes to connection and whole-body yeses [28:00] – Comfort over performance: clothes, shoes, and realistic expectations [30:08] – Speaking our truth, changing our minds, and honoring ourselves [31:02] – Letting go of the status quo and choosing a life that fits [34:44] – Remembering that life is happening now, not later If today's discussion resonated with you or sparked curiosity, please rate, follow, and share "Insights from the Couch" with others.

Happy Yuletide Dear Listeners. I'm back with a final Solo episode of the year to offer some guidance and support in SHEDDING & RELEASING what you are ready to leave behind and begin to CREATE YOUR VISION for the future you desire to live in. I offered these insights in a workshop I held for Women Waken listeners (another is coming for vision boarding in the New Year if you're interested). I break it down into a 3 step process to establish the shedding (What/Why/ & How) and then some specific exercises you can do to facilitate the process of releasing old thought systems, energy, and tension from the body. Finally I introduce the art of vision boarding and how to begin that manifesting & inspiration process.I know this has been a tough year for many of us. My hope is that this episode offers some helpful insights and options on how to affirm that a higher experience is possible, especially for you! You deserve the greatest joy, love, peace, safety, and protection. Don't hold back, dream up the greatest expression of life you can imagine....it can be yours!!Donations To Women Waken To Support The Show Are Greatly Appreciated

Reset your nervous system. This 20-minute guided meditation is created for minds that won't switch off and bodies that have been carrying too much for too long. Burnout, chronic stress, and overthinking are not personal failures — they are signs of a nervous system that has been stuck in survival mode. When the brain is constantly problem-solving, anticipating, and self-monitoring, stress hormones remain elevated, the body stays tense, and the mind loops endlessly, searching for relief through more thinking. This meditation interrupts that cycle at the nervous system level. Through slow, grounding guidance, gentle breath awareness, and progressive body relaxation, you'll be guided out of mental overdrive and back into a state of safety and regulation. As the body softens, the mind naturally quietens — not because you force it to stop, but because it no longer needs to stay on high alert.   Benefits of this meditation include: Releasing stress and accumulated burnout tension Calming overthinking and mental rumination Resetting an overworked nervous system Supporting emotional balance and mental clarity Restoring energy without stimulation or effort This is not about trying to “fix” yourself or optimise your mindset. It's about allowing the system that's been carrying the load to finally rest. From that place of rest, clarity, creativity, and steadiness naturally return. Listen whenever you feel mentally overloaded, emotionally drained, or stuck in overthinking loops — and let your mind and body remember what calm actually feels like. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I help driven professionals overcome anxiety, stress, and self-doubt — then coach them beyond the ego to unlock superconscious performance and next-level success.

To close out 2025, Jill is replaying episode 258 from last year. Before diving into the replay, though, she spends some time reflecting on how she's come to reject the traditional idea of January 1st as a strict "new year" and instead embraces a more mindful approach. For Jill, the end of December is a time to pause, reflect, and honor your rhythms rather than chase resolutions or expectations. She shares that over the past five years, she's aligned more with the lunar calendar's timing and has found value in winter as a season for rest, inward reflection, and acceptance. Looking ahead to 2026, Jill highlights refinement over resolutions, describing it as a year of powerful energy and momentum. She recounts the personal and professional shedding, shifts, and deep trust that 2025 gave her, including stepping back from work, grieving her father, and embracing meaningful relationships with her soul tribe. Jill also touches upon the importance of honoring boundaries, self-care, and reflection during the holidays and beyond, stressing that pausing, releasing, and celebrating lessons learned are so important to entering the new year with gratitude, clarity, and purpose. Jill then replays last year's episode, in which she invites listeners into a reflective space to close out 2024. She, as she does this year, highlights the importance of self-care, setting boundaries, and honoring the lessons learned over the year. The replay episode offers a calming ritual to help listeners pause, breathe, and consider their personal experiences from the past year, with Jill guiding listeners in creating a clean slate for the following year by exploring practical ways to process the year such as reviewing old photos to sorting experiences into lessons, things to let go of, and cherished memories to hold onto. Listen in for a blend of guidance and gentle encouragement to close the year with heart and intention, and don't forget that time is running out to snag your Be YOU apparel! Also keep in mind that Jill will be hosting an upcoming retreat - the More of Me retreat - offering a deep dive into self-discovery. Head to jillherman.com for more details!

Episode 197 - Testimony Series: Boundaries and Divine Intervention - with Donna Gafford This episode is part of our December Testimony Series. Donna Gafford shares a gripping story from her experience on the set of a film in Atlanta. Hired to play an herbalist, she was surprised and troubled to find the set filled with witchcraft and Wiccan props, which conflicted with her personal commitment to God regarding the projects she was willing to accept. As she struggled with the situation and asked God to help her know how to move forward, a structural collapse unexpectedly destroyed the set and the witchcraft paraphernalia. Donna saw this as divine intervention affirming her commitment, and the replacement set was transformed into a beautiful, serene environment, illustrating God's protective power.The Faith & Family Filmmakers podcast helps filmmakers who share a Christian worldview stay in touch, informed, and inspired.

What if the most powerful way to step into a new year isn't by setting goals—but by honoring how far you've already come? In this end-of-year reflection, Jessica and Kelly look back on 2025 with honesty, humor, and heart. They celebrate growth, name what felt hard, and introduce the Bright List—a simple but meaningful exercise to help you reflect on what you're proud of, what you're ready to release, and what you want more of as you step into 2026. Inside This Conversation: Reflecting on the past year helps in personal growth. The Bright List exercise encourages positive reflection. Releasing negativity can lead to a more fulfilling life. Expanding joy and presence is essential for well-being. Surprises in life can lead to unexpected growth. Healing often comes from acknowledging struggles. Life is messy, and that's part of the journey. Intentions for the new year should focus on self-improvement. Embracing change is crucial as children grow and leave home. Living life to the fullest is a key takeaway for 2026.

Merry Frankensteinian Christmas from Jay of the Dead's New Horror Movies, The Christmas Morning of Horror Movie Podcasts! Releasing on December 25, 2025, the festive Horror Avengers bring you a magnificent monster mash stitched together from October and November recordings and joyfully re-gifted as a full-blown holiday special. This memorable episode earns its place in show history by featuring one Horror Avenger's Specialty Segment twice(!) in the same episode! While holiday lights glow and carols echo, your favorite hosts chime in interstitially with seasons greetings. Nearly everyone shows up to celebrate (with a couple of absences blamed on a suspicious trip to the dog track). The entire affair is capped by Jay's own original dark Christmas carol, "The Tiny King," a grim yet hopeful closer that might be the closest thing to a Horror Christmas carol. The episode itself is packed tighter than Santa's sack, har har, with new Horror movie reviews recorded "in the field," classic black-and-white chills, and a centerpiece deep dive into Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein — complete with a clear spoiler warning for listeners. Jay of the Dead, Dr. Walking Dead, Dr. Shock, Gillman Joel, and Mackula gather around the slab to debate monsters, their meaning, and modern myth-making, while Mackula's enthusiasm climbs sky-high in true festive fashion across the episode's classic and contemporary picks. From an in-person recording of Jay and Dr. Bishop as they review "Shelby Oaks" and "Dream Eater" inside Jay's car together — to vintage chills and a surprisingly merry detour into "Predator: Badlands" — Episode 174 feels like a snowy marathon of bolts, bells, snowballs, and body parts — equal parts reverent, ridiculous, and heartfelt. By the time the bubble lights stop bubbling and the final notes of "The Tiny King" fade out, listeners are left with a warm glow, a few scorch marks, and the firm belief that this really is The Gold Standard of Holiday Horror Movie Podcasts. Join us!

Episode 196 - Testimony Series: From Rejection to Redemption - with Alex Mounir This episode is part of our December Testimony Series. Alex Mounir shares his heartfelt journey of balancing his newfound faith with his acting career. After giving his life to Jesus in April of last year, Alex has been actively praying for his talents to be used for God's kingdom rather than just for secular entertainment. With a disheartening rejection from a faith-based show where he auditioned eight times without success, Alex almost gave up on acting. He narrates how his prayers were answered in unexpected ways and he received a last-minute opportunity to star in a film, as the exact same character he had wanted to play so badly in the other show . Alex emphasizes the importance of using one's talents for Jesus and prioritizing faith over career.Bio: Alex Mounir is a rising screen actor boldly making his mark in faith-based film.

Episode Summary: Christmas is often called the most wonderful time of the year, yet for many, it’s also one of the most exhausting. Between the holiday to-do lists, family obligations, and the weight of expectations - both our own and others’- this season can leave us physically weary, emotionally drained, and even spiritually depleted. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you are not alone. Today, we’re talking about how to release those expectations, embrace true rest in Christ, and find renewal in Him. If your soul feels weary, this conversation is especially for you. Today we’ll be talking about Hope for the Weary Soul. Quotables from the episode: It’s no surprise that Christmas can leave us feeling depleted. We put pressure on ourselves to create the perfect holiday - perfect gifts, perfect décor, perfect meals and table settings, and perfect gatherings. Social media only adds to this burden, making it seem like everyone else has it all together. But the truth is, exhaustion isn’t just about being physically tired. It’s about the weight we carry in our hearts - disappointment, grief, unmet expectations, and the struggle to meet everyone’s needs, often while neglecting our own. Jesus knew we would experience this. That’s why in Matthew 11:28, He says, Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. He invites us to exchange our striving for His peace. But that requires us to let go of what we were never meant to carry in the first place. If you’re feeling weary, I encourage you to take a moment and ask yourself: What am I holding onto that God never asked me to carry? Maybe it’s the expectation of making everyone happy. Maybe it’s guilt over what you can’t do. Maybe it’s the grief of a loved one who isn’t here this Christmas. Whatever it is, the first step toward rest is recognizing what is making us weary and laying it at Jesus’ feet. Christmas is a busy time with many annual traditions and expectations. Others have expectations of us, we have expectations of others, and we have expectations of ourselves. As a result, sadly, it’s a recipe for failure. Part of the problem with expectations is that it’s impossible to meet unvoiced expectations. Everyone’s picture of the holiday varies. Some celebrate with family on Christmas Eve, others celebrate on Christmas. Some families draw names for gifts and possibly set a monetary limit, while other families give gifts to everyone. Some families get up early while others sleep in late. There is as much variability to the who, what, when, and where of the celebration as there are people celebrating. So how do we actually release those expectations? It starts with shifting our perspective. The world tells us Christmas is about performance, about how much we do, how beautiful we make it, how much we give. But God’s Word tells us something different. Christmas is about receiving. Receiving the greatest gift of all, Jesus Christ. Martha was distracted by all the preparations, while Mary sat at Jesus’ feet, simply being with Him. And what did Jesus say? Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Does that ever sound like you? I’ve certainly been guilty. This season, instead of being like Martha - running from one thing to the next, trying to make everything perfect, and meet a list of unspoken expectations - what if we chose to be like Mary? What if we sat at His feet, even in the middle of the chaos, and let His presence be enough? One practical way to do this is by setting boundaries. Say no to the things that drain you. Say yes to the things that nourish your soul. You don’t have to attend every event, bake every cookie, or create a Pinterest-worthy Christmas. Choose rest. Choose Jesus. Releasing expectations is only part of the equation. True renewal comes when we replace striving with abiding. John 15:4 says, Abide in me, and I in you. When we stay connected to Jesus, He renews our strength. One way to abide in Him this Christmas is by spending time in His Word. Even if it’s just a few minutes a day, let Scripture be your source of renewal. Isaiah 40:31 reminds us, Those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint. When we take time to be with God, He refreshes our weary souls. Christmas isn’t about what we do. It’s about what’s already been done for us through Christ. No matter how much is on your plate, you don’t have to carry it alone. Jesus came to bring us peace, not pressure. So this Christmas, let’s step out of striving and into His rest. Prayer for the Weary Soul Heavenly Father, we come before You weary, but we know that You are our source of strength. Help us release the burdens we were never meant to carry and rest in Your perfect peace. Teach us to abide in You, to embrace Your presence above all else, and to find renewal in Your love. Thank You for the gift of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. In His name, we pray. Amen. Scripture References: Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Luke 10:38-42 tells the story of Mary and Martha. “Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word. But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me.” But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” John 15:4 says, Abide in me, and I in you. Isaiah 40:31 reminds us, Those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.

Everyone else is "winding down." You're deciding whether next year is accidental… or intentional. In this timely end-of-year episode of PivotMe, April breaks down three powerful holiday pivots that separate small-business owners who strategically recharge from those who collapse into January already behind. This isn't about hustling through the holidays. It's about protecting margin, deepening connection, and quietly positioning your next big year while everyone else naps. If you want to close the year like a leader and step into the next one with clarity instead of chaos, this episode is your playbook. Part 1: The Gift of Margin Theme: Protect your time, energy, and profit before you gift them all away. December isn't the time for more strategy — it's the time for boundaries. April challenges listeners to audit their calendars, guard their best hours, and stop leaking energy through guilt-driven yeses. Key insight: A boundary isn't selfish — it's self-respect. And your brain needs protection if it's going to lead next year. Part 2: The Pivot of Gratitude and Connection Theme: Reflect on who helped you — and strengthen the relationships that carried you. Before charging into resolutions, April invites listeners to look back at the people who showed up this year — teammates, vendors, friends, and quiet supporters. Gratitude isn't soft. It's one of the strongest retention and leadership strategies you have. Part 3: The Holiday Business Pivot Theme: Prep your next year like the pros do while everyone else checks out. While most entrepreneurs mentally clock out in December, leaders quietly position their relaunch. April walks through: Reviewing the top 3 wins of the year Releasing dead offers, draining clients, and pointless expenses Resetting the story of how you want your business talked about next year Because the best Januarys are built in December. Pivot Point Takeaway Rest doesn't mean disengage. It means prepare with intention. Protect your margin. Practice gratitude. Position your relaunch. Want the checklist to walk this episode into real action?   ----------------

Some memories don't fade, they echo. A word, a glance, a moment that keeps the body on alert long after it's passed. Your brain remembers the pain, and your chemistry follows.In this episode of Migraine Heroes Podcast, host Diane Ducarme explores how holding on to anger, guilt, or resentment, keeps your nervous system locked in defense mode. Neuroscience shows that unforgiveness isn't just emotional; it's chemical. And Eastern philosophy has been teaching this for thousands of years: peace is not a mood, it's a biological state.You'll discover:

On today's episode, I am so excited for you to hear this conversation with my sweet friend Lisa Vee! Lisa is a former corporate sales leader turned women's confidence coach, and she shares the details on how she completely shook up her life to become the person she is today.   We talk about: -eating disorder recovery, -divorce, -motherhood and how it reshaped her, -and the work she does to help other mompreneurs and birth workers completely shift their lives.   Lisa's experience required letting go of control and stepping into confidence, even when the world was telling her the opposite. We talk practically about how this looks in her day-to-day and the constant mindset work that comes with it. The pain and growth through Lisa's transformation is what has allowed her to build a business and live a life that reflects complete authenticity today.   If you need a dose of encouragement or relatability, I highly recommend tuning into this inspiring episode!

Outrage is already brewing over the Department of Justice's failure to fully release the Jeffrey Epstein files by the legally required deadline Friday, despite legislation pushed by Rep. Thomas Massie, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, and signed by Donald Trump. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch and Pam Bondi are acccused of hiding names of powerful men allegedly tied to Epstein, while establishment figures like Chuck Schumer publicly claim they want transparency.  As Jimmy points out, Massie says attorneys for victims know of at least 20 men accused of sex crimes whose names should appear, warning that if they don't, the DOJ clearly withheld evidence. He frames this as bipartisan theater and a deep-state style cover-up protecting elites, corporations, intelligence networks, and political power centers rather than victims. Plus segments on Australia's crackdown on free speech after the Bondi Beach attack, Tucker Carlson's expert clapback at Ben Shapiro and Erika Kirk's latest lie.  Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Kash Patel!

Let's talk about Trump's DOJ still not releasing the Epstein files....

December has a way of pulling us back into old roles, familiar dynamics, and unspoken expectations - especially around family, work, and social obligations. For many neurodivergent people, this can quietly activate stress, self-doubt, and the urge to explain or perform.In this episode of Mindful Mondays, Ashley Bentley explores Radical Permission - the practice of doing December your way. We look at why certain relationships bypass logic and go straight to the body, how childhood conditioning and masking resurface during the holidays, and why releasing the need to justify yourself can be deeply regulating.This episode also gently touches on relational tension, emotional fatigue, and the cost of people-pleasing at this time of year, offering a compassionate reframe for staying true to yourself without abandoning connection.The episode closes with a deeply empowering guided meditation, blending poetry and presence, designed to help you inhabit your inner truth, reconnect with self-trust, and move through the season with greater ease and integrity.A grounding invitation to release expectations - and reclaim your peace.❤️ Support the ShowIf this episode resonated with you:✅ Follow or Subscribe to The Neurodivergent Experience⭐ Leave a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify
