Podcasts about respectful

Have you ever had one of those conversations that starts so casual and ends up changing how you see everything? Stacy and Daynah talk about creating from a place of joy instead of productivity, learning to reframe overwhelm, and finding meaning in the messy overlap between science and soul. They explore intuition, belief, and the art of holding space for both logic and magic. And then Daynah shares a story so powerful it defies explanation - a real moment of intuition that changed everything she believed about coincidence, timing, and what connects us. By the end, they land on what might be the truest form of alchemy: choosing joy, staying curious, and finding wonder in the things we can't explain. 0:00 | Perimenopause brain and finding lost phones 3:00 | Overwhelm, reframing, and finding creative joy 6:00 | Joy as a form of wealth 8:00 | Indigenous roots of community and commerce 10:00 | Disney, feminism, and representation 17:30 | Respectful disagreement and conscious consumerism 19:00 | How to talk across political divides with empathy 25:00 | Astrology, intuition, and the science of energy 32:00 | Daynah's intuition story that defies explanation 40:00 | Processing trauma and the limits of what we can know 45:00 | Kindness, joy, and human connection as universal truths 47:00 | Introducing Mission Alchemists 55:00 | Candles, Enneagrams, and the art of creating something beautiful 57:00 | Wrap-up (and a tease for the bonus Taylor Swift episode) Find Stacy: ⁠⁠⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/realstacytoth⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠missionmakersart.com missionalchemists.com Learn more about your ad choices.

"Respect for people means creating an environment where they feel safe, supported, and able to contribute. That's when real improvement happens." Chris Butterworth "Sustainable improvement starts with caring -- for people, for culture, and for the impact of our actions. Without that, Lean can't take root." "Psychological safety isn't soft; it's essential. It's what allows people to speak up, share problems, and drive meaningful change."

Democracy is often loud, messy and argumentative. After all, it's a system designed to support the right to differing values and political ideas. A healthy democracy allows for dissent and disagreement, peaceful protests, marches and campaigns that work to persuade voters to support or reject certain ideas. But currently in America, dissent too often turns to violence where people threaten harm rather than simply debating viewpoints. Why has it become dangerous to express free speech and how can we get back to more civil discourse in our nation? Two elected officials with opposing political views have found ways to work together and they share what they've learned, on this Talk of Alaska.

 Most of the people love much more revenge or punishment for a crime than to forgive…Our No is much stronger than our Yes.Our Hate is much stronger than our Love.This is even telling the Srimad Bhagavatam beside that this is 100% science proofed… Even you don't believe that, why are seeing people much more crime and horror movies than love stories? Because people enjoy seeing crime/brutality over love!There is a study about of Equitable Retribution from the Ohio UniversityThe people love to punish more for what they have got on punishment…This means: Forgiveness is worse, Equally, punishment is too less…Stories with over punishment are the most liked stories…And Stories with forgiveness are not liked at all…How can people live together with such concepts…?I am as usual the worst…For instance, a previous girlfriend has recently cheated on me. She should make the registration for my car and got good money for that… I waited over 3 months and wanted my registration done or the Car-book without registration… Without a Car-book, I can't insure my car again. Even worse, she needed, again and again, my help and wanted more and more money for the registration. I remained calm and forgiving because I am mad or worse…?Finally, I went to the police to sort the problem out and it worked out…I had luck, that I got the translation of my description of this case in Thai for free, even from an unknown Thai-girl. And I got a great communication expert from the police (the highest-ranking police officer, about my age) who could genius solve this problem to this time… What I learned, is that don't put the delinquent under pressure.This is exactly the teaching of the very best FBI interviewer and best body language expert, Joe Navarro. You should be as an interviewer or as parents:1. Polite.2. Friendly. 3. Respectful.4. Relaxed. 5. And forgiving!!!!And this is the opposite that most people are thinking and doing!!! Instead to be resentful like stupid Trump, be forgiving and polite to gain control even in the worst situations. The younger police officer, a woman tried always to prove that my previous girlfriend was wrong and this didn't work out… So the Chief overtook the phone call and made an appointment with her… And I got my old Car-book back. My Video: Forgive and Revenge… https://youtu.be/SATlMDZjNrgMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast1/Forgive-and-Revenge….mp3

Scripture Reading from Luke 10: 1-16 (0:00)Sermon by Charles Anderson (2:05)

Arguments that spiral out of control often leave behind words no one meant and wounds that take time to heal. Escalation may feel like “getting it all out,” but according to our guest today, it is actually poison to a marriage. Dr. Kevin Downing, founder of Turning Point Counseling in Southern California, has spent decades helping couples, pastors, and families find healthier ways to connect. His insights on escalation, self-control, and parenting bring both biblical grounding and practical tools. Why Escalation Is “Pure Poison” That Often Leads to Divorce Research from Dr. John Gottman revealed that the type of conflict in marriage can predict divorce. The number one predictor? Escalation. When escalation takes over, brain scans show that the logical, rational side of the brain shuts down. That's why conversations in anger lead to slammed doors, reckless words, or ultimatums. With half the brain offline, no real problem-solving can happen. We often think that the “truth” does comes out during these heated moments of escalation, and sometimes spouses even push each other to the brink in an attempt to "get the truth out." But the reality is, this isn't so. The words spoken at the peak of anger are not reliable and usually bring regret. As Dr. Downing explained, escalation is pure poison for marriage. The Fruit of the Spirit in Your Marriage Scripture gives a different path. Galatians 5 teaches that self-control is a fruit of the Spirit. Self-control means more than biting one's tongue; it is the Spirit's power to respond with gentleness when provoked. It is choosing a soft answer when the flesh screams for retaliation. This is what keeps hearts tender and marriages safe. Practical Tools for De-Escalation Dr. Downing offered practical tools couples can use immediately: Use “I” language. Instead of “You're losing it,” say, “I need a few minutes to calm down. I promise to return.” Pause at night. Words like, “I love you. I'm not going anywhere. I'm sure we can work this out” create security before sleep. Reassure often. A 10-second “wedding-vow refresh” can melt deep insecurity: “You're my one and only—for better or worse, for life.” Don't debate history. Replace “I remember it better than you” with “We have different recollections.” Then drop it. Offer a new experience. Arguments rarely change minds, but kindness does. Just as a restaurant replaces a meal instead of defending reviews, a spouse can create change by responding with love instead of debate. How to Be on the Same Page about Parenting Conflict in parenting can be just as destructive if spouses are not aligned. But, Dr. Downing emphasized that parenting plans should not be created in the heat of a crisis. An argument is not the time to create a parenting plan, just like the middle of a storm is not the time to create a rain plan. You want to do these things outside of the state of chaos. Instead, couples should sit down calmly after the crisis is done and start with the big picture. What goals do you have for your children? You may ask yourselves: Do we want our children to be God-loving? Self-supporting? Respectful? Loving toward siblings and connected to church? Agreeing on these goals allows a united front in daily decisions. One of the greatest gifts for children is seeing parents present a unified approach. Correcting a spouse in front of the kids undermines authority and invites manipulation. Behind closed doors, differences can be discussed and resolved without giving children the leverage to divide. The Two-Minute Timeout Dr. Downing also shared a simple, powerful discipline tool for parenting: the two-minute timeout. When a child disobeys, responds disrespectfully, or hits a sibling, the consequence is two minutes with two questions: Why were you in timeout? Will this behavior happen again today or tonight? To establish safety and connection, younger children are also given a hug afterward. This short, consistent approach helps children take ownership while keeping parents calm. It prevents long punishments that discourage, as well as shouting matches that model escalation. In fact, the timeout often benefits the parent just as much—allowing emotions to cool so rational thinking returns. By the time children reach their teens, the drill is so familiar that a simple question—“Do you need a timeout?”—is usually enough to prompt self-correction. Final Thoughts Every couple disagrees sometimes, and every parent has those chaotic moments—but they don't have to end in distance or regret. Escalation will always push hearts apart, but Spirit-led self-control and kindness can draw them close again. The beautiful truth is that transformation doesn't always come through big, complicated steps. Often it's the small, intentional choices—pausing before speaking, offering reassurance instead of accusation, giving a child two minutes to reset—that shift the entire atmosphere of a home. Each moment of choosing gentleness over escalation is an invitation for God's presence to flood your marriage and your family. You can do this.

PPPPS - Here is a quote from a recent graduate: "When we did talk it would often end with blaming each other and an argument.  I believed that if my wife could just be more affectionate and loving our marriage would be much better.  I quickly realized in the first few weeks of MR, that when I take the lead to make her feel safe, cherished, and heard, she responds by being kinder and more loving towards me."

As someone with a large following, I occasionally post things online that not everyone agrees with. Recently, a few people have attacked me and made rude remarks in the comment sections of some of my posts. These individuals aren't just disagreeing, they're going as far as insulting me and attacking my character. When that happens, I sometimes share a few of those comments on my stories to give my followers a glimpse of what I deal with. But every time I do, I make sure to blur or block out the name of the person who wrote the comment. You might be wondering: Why? Well, I answer that in today's episode.

What can we do when we come across passages of scripture that seem contradictory to other passages of scripture? Or they just don't line up with what we have experienced in our Christian walk? Our passage this week in 1 Corinthians 11 seems confusing at first, but Brian teaches us how context, as well as historical context, can help us better interpret the message of scripture.

Key takeaways from this episode: https://tinyurl.com/rpzccu99 In episode 343, Phil and Burt reflect on the anniversary of 9/11 and how recent tragedies, from school shootings to political violence, affect today's workplace. We also take a dive into AI and leadership. A Future So Dull, You Gotta Wear Google Goggles? Artificial intelligence is transforming society and the workplace at breakneck speed.

Learn Japanese for Travel! Here's a basic intro to the language and culture in Japan! Head to Japan with Gear from EAGLE CREEK!!! Shop using our affiliate link to support our podcast! Thank you! Ready for your Japanese adventure? Before you pack your bags, let's talk about something crucial that most travelers overlook—understanding Japanese culture as the foundation for learning the language.Our special guest Rahel, who is half-Swiss and half-Japanese, shares invaluable insights from her bicultural perspective. She explains that at the heart of Japanese society lies a deep commitment to community awareness: "Everything is about understanding that my actions, my words will have an effect on the people." This mindset shapes every social interaction, including how language is used.One fascinating revelation is how Japanese people rarely say a direct "no." Instead, they might respond with "at this point, it might not be a good time for this"—a polite buffer that communicates refusal without confrontation. For travelers accustomed to direct communication, recognizing these cultural nuances prevents misunderstandings and demonstrates respect.Rahel guides us through essential phrases like "konnichiwa" (hello), "arigatou gozaimasu" (thank you), "sumimasen" (excuse me/sorry), and "onegaishimasu" (please). Beyond just memorizing words, she emphasizes pronunciation and context, explaining which phrases are appropriate in different situations. Need to find a bathroom or train station? Learn to ask "doko desu ka?" (where is?) after naming what you're looking for.The most powerful takeaway? Japanese people watch visitors closely, looking for intention rather than perfection. They understand when tourists make mistakes but deeply appreciate those who show genuine respect for their culture. By learning even a few phrases and approaching Japan with cultural awareness, you'll transform from just another tourist to a welcomed visitor.Have you started learning phrases for your next international adventure?

When we hear the word 'swinger' or 'lifestyle' the first time we may think of key parties, sleezy sex clubs, orgies with strangers and lots of perverted people who will have sex with anyone. With how non-monogamy is portrayed in some movies and television shows it's not surprising that many of us have this perception! During our most recent trip to Desire Riviera Maya we asked the couples to tell us how they would describe the world of non-monogamy to others and how that description has changed from their pre-lifestyle perceptions.

Acting on a principle that God's house will be respected, Nehemiah threw out the enemy who was living in God's house. We show respect for God's house today by 1) recognizing that what we do for God and the way we do it matters more than just getting a job done, and 2) leaving behind our baggage of how things “ought” to be done in God's house. These ideas will not be tolerated; they will be thrown out. VF-2017 Nehemiah 13:1-9 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at PastorMelissaScott.com Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

The work of branding and strategy agency PORTO ROCHA needs little introduction. Founded by Leo Porto and Felipe Rocha after meeting and collaborating together in New York City, the studio has quickly grown and set a high standard for quality work. Drew and I have long wanted to have them on the podcast, but for many reasons we were hesitant to reach out. Even after being linked in the agency's fantastic “annual report” Design Threads, we were still too shy to approach Leo and Felipe. But finally, this past spring, we sent an email and were honored to have them on as guests.The two designers have managed to balance many parts of their lives and selves through their partnership. They were candid about the struggles, but spoke with a frank optimism about striving forward and respecting resources. We really appreciated their honesty, care and general openness about their experience. A lot of wisdom was shared, along with some tough questions about competition and perceptions that come with growing a business and studio culture. It was especially touching to hear about a recent project they completed for the Kunsthalle Basel in Switzerland. For Leo, Felipe and the PORTO ROCHA team it was a beautiful full-circle project.

Hair discrimination disproportionately targets Black women, and lawmakers have sought to ban the practice with the CROWN Act. CROWN stands for “Create a Respectful and Open Workplace for Natural Hair,” and the first act of its kind was passed in California in 2019. Since then, other states and municipalities have adopted their own measures, including the City of St. Louis in 2021. A statewide measure took effect in Illinois in 2023. In July, Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe signed a law banning race-based hair discrimination in the state. In this encore presentation from 2023, Vice President of the St. Louis chapter of NABJ Gabrielle Hays and Frizzy by Nature CEO Leslie Hughes talk about local and statewide efforts to pass the CROWN Act and ways Black women are relearning how to embrace their curls.

A Respectful Look at the Views of Others A Five-Minute Quickie from the Personal Development Unplugged Podcast Ever wondered how someone can hold a belief so different from yours — even the total opposite — and still be right? Well, in this five-minute (ish!) ramble, we explore one of NLP's most important presuppositions: respect for another person's model of the world. We all build our own "maps" of reality based on our experiences. But what happens when we genuinely listen to someone else's? Can we learn from it? Can it balance, challenge, or even evolve our own beliefs? In this episode: Why no one's map is 100% the territory How curiosity leads to harmony (and less conflict) And why active listening could be your secret growth tool Take a moment, a breath, a coffee — and muse with me.

In this episode of Vertical Playpen, Phil and Alan Krieger discuss the significance of understanding different communication styles. Alan shares insights from his extensive experience in team development, emphasizing that effective communication is not just about conveying a message but also about recognizing and adapting to the communication preferences of others. They explore the TEAM communication model, which categorizes individuals based on their task orientation and decision-making styles, highlighting the importance of tailoring communication to foster better collaboration and understanding in teams.   Communication is a skill that needs to be practiced. People have different communication preferences that affect interactions. Our intentions as communicators can be misinterpreted by others. Respectful behavior varies between individuals and contexts. Understanding communication styles can improve team dynamics. Quick decision-making can be more efficient in many situations. The TEAM model categorizes communication styles into four types. Task-oriented individuals prefer direct and efficient communication. Some people prioritize relationship-building over task completion. Tailoring communication to the audience is crucial for effectiveness.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- Dr. Victoria Coates—Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show and reacts to the United States's strategic strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Plus, BREAKING NEWS: Israel and Iran have agreed to a ceasefire. Dr. Coates is the author of the book: “The Battle for the Jewish State: How Israel—and America—Can Win.” 6:30pm- In a post to Truth Social, Preside Donald Trump wrote: “CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED! Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World. During each CEASEFIRE, the other side will remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL. On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, ‘THE 12 DAY WAR.' This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn't, and never will! God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and GOD BLESS THE WORLD!”
