host: Alyson Stanfield In 2020, Dawn Trimble was laid off from her interior design job during the pandemic while navigating a divorce—and she felt relief. That moment became a turning point. Within months of painting full-time, she launched her first collection, which sold out in days and matched her corporate paycheck. Dawn talks about the practical steps she took to build momentum, what she brought from her design background into her art business, how she thinks about creativity as service rather than self-expression, and why she believes the most important thing any artist can do is simply start. HIGHLIGHTS 01:40 Dawn describes her serene watercolor paintings 03:00 The relief of being laid off during the pandemic 05:40 Creating her first collection and selling out in days 08:00 The three-legged stool business approach 26:00 Wall covering licensing partnerships that surprised her with the size of the first checks 29:00 How she structures her week 32:00 Marketing through storytelling and connection 39:00 The "Memories" collection and her father's dementia 44:00 Her faith, viewing herself as conduit, not source 47:20 Her advice to other artists: just do it DAWN'S ACTION FOR YOU Dawn reminds us that everyone has insecurities and everyone is afraid. But you have to start anyway. As she mentioned, inspiration has to find us working. You can't sit around wishing—it has to be an action. So this week, get into your studio and make something. Let inspiration find you working.

Welcome to Bleav in Rams presented by FanDuel - Erin Coscarelli with Tyler Dragon joined by special guest Ryan Anderson, Executive Editor and Senior Writer on the Rams beat for LAFB Network, to break down a wild and frustrating week in Rams football. Los Angeles took a tough 31–28 Week 13 loss on the road in Carolina - a game they entered as double-digit favorites. Now that we've had time to process it, what actually stands out MOST? What are the glaring issues, and what does this team take away from a loss like that? We're getting into everything: Is Sean McVay scaling back 13-personnel without Tyler Higbee? Davante Adams and Matthew Stafford's red-zone chemistry, Blake Corum's emergence, and whether this team can reclaim the NFC's 1-seed? Plus, we look ahead to a surprisingly precarious 3-9 Cardinals team. Arizona's thrown the most passes in the NFL, Jacoby Brissett has them airing it out, and Trey McBride is leading the league in receptions. The 1st of 2 matchups — and it's a crucial one. How does LA make sure not to overlook their division rival? Plus the latest on injury news heading into week 14. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ever gotten feedback at work that just... stung? Like, you worked your ass off on a project, pulled off what felt like a miracle given the circumstances, only to be told you "weren't enthusiastic enough" or "should have felt more excited"? Yeah, that's the kind of feedback that can send you spiraling. In this episode, I'm breaking down why feedback hits us so damn hard in the first place, and more importantly, what to do about it. I'll share my pistachio nut framework for figuring out what feedback is actually worth keeping versus what's just... someone else's baggage you don't need to carry. If you've ever felt like you're constantly taking things too personally or spiraling after every piece of criticism, this one's for you. Together we'll explore.. The neuroscience behind why feedback feels like a threat The "pistachio nut" framework for filtering feedback Three essential filters: truth, actionability, and source Why self-compassion beats self-criticism every time When feedback is information about fit, not failure Ready to actually stop taking things so personally? You can listen to every podcast episode and know all the strategies, but if you're still spiraling after every piece of criticism, nothing changes. That's where coaching comes in. I help women get clear on which feedback is actually worth listening to, how to separate behavior from worth without falling apart, and most importantly—how to stop making other people's opinions mean more than your own.

In this episode, I'm sharing one of my recent realisations….the magic we crave isn't something we wait for, it's something we create. And when we make that decision, the universe responds.I talk about my birthday and how I made it my mission to notice and celebrate every little moment…. the tiny things that made the day feel magical. Then I realised… why don't we do this every day? It's our perception that alters our energy, and that energy dictates what we manifest.I also reflect on my 32nd year and read something I came across on social media and found SO powerful:“What a privilege to be tired from the work you once begged the universe for. What a privilege to feel overwhelmed by the growth you used to dream about, what a privilege to be challenged by a life you created on purpose, and what a privilege to outgrow things you used to settle for.'This episode is full of stories, lessons, and synchronicities, from manifesting my incredible tour manager Ainslee (who was manifesting me too!), to the moment I switched from fear to trust and watched the ideas, help, and inspiration start flowing through others around me. IT'S AN EXCITING ONE!I also share a story which reminds us that often the help we've been asking for has already arrived, just not in the way we expected.This episode is a reminder that… ✨ You don't have to wait for miracles, you can create them. ✨ It gets to be easy, it gets to come through others, and it gets to feel good. ✨ The Universe responds when you choose to create the magic instead of waiting for it. ✨ Abundance of opportunities, great people, experiences, travel, money ~ it's all there, you just have to be open to receiving it. How? I tell you in the ep!Whether you're manifesting a big dream or just trying to bring more joy into your daily life, this episode will inspire you to shift your perspective, open up to help, and start building your own magic today.

If your content has stopped landing, leads feel slower, or business just feels heavier than it used to, you're not alone. In this episode, Anna unpacks the major solopreneur trends of 2025 - and what they mean for how you work, sell, and show up as you prepare for 2026. Key Takeaways Visibility is changing: Even strong, thoughtful content underperformed on LinkedIn this year—and it's not about your quality, but the context. AI raised the bar: With content creation easier than ever, your differentiation now comes from clarity of message and point of view. Sales cycles slowed: Corporate budgets shrank, hesitations increased, and "maybe next quarter" became the norm. Trust takes more time: Warm leads, referrals, and real relationships outperform cold funnels and algorithm-chasing. Solopreneurs want sustainability: Many don't need bigger businesses—just clearer, simpler, more spacious ones. Call to Action Join the waitlist for the Solopreneur Operating System at intentionalexpert.com to build a clearer, calmer way of working in 2026.

"The mind is like water. When it's turbulent, it's hard to see. When it's calm, everything becomes clear." — Kobe Bryant  Kobe Bryant was definitely onto something when he spoke those words. If you're not in control of your commitments and have no idea what needs to be done next, you're going to be stressed. And stress, like turbulent water, makes it hard to see where you should be spending your time.  Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin Join the Time And Life Mastery Programme here.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  What's the point of learning how to be more productive and to be better at managing our time? Are we not just shuffling work around—work that will need to be done at some point anyway? Well, yes and no.  Historically, people went to work, often in factories, where they performed repetitive manual labour. When their workday finished, they “downed tools”, clocked out and went home. As there were no TVs or smartphones, people often played cards or board games with their families, read books or went to the pub.  It was easy to leave work at work. It was easy to manage our time. There was personal time and work time, and the two did not mix.  Today, it's very different. Most of you listening to this podcast will likely be working in what is commonly called “knowledge work' jobs. You're not hired for your muscles. You're hired for your brain.  And this causes us a problem. Manual labour meant you did a hard day's work, and when you went home, you could forget about work. In knowledge work, it's not so easy to stop your brain from thinking about a work problem.  I remember when I worked in a law firm, I caught the bus home and often spent most of the journey thinking about an issue with a client and trying to figure out the simplest way to solve the problem. In the past, people would have looked forward to getting home to their families. When you're mentally distracted in that way, it's hard for you to switch off and enjoy that time with your family and friends.  Today, it also means there's no barrier—except our own willpower—to sending an email or a Teams message at any time of the day or night.  In the past, the factory gates were locked, or someone else was doing your job on the night shift. It wasn't possible to work beyond your regular working hours. Time management was much easier. Not so today. And that nicely leads us to this week's question. And that means it's time to hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice. This week's question comes from Michael. Michael asks, Hi Carl, I've spent years struggling with time management, and it's got to the point where I think there's no point. As hard as I try, there's always something that needs to be done, and I never get a chance to finish anything and end up with everything being urgent. Is there any point to all this time management and productivity stuff?   Hi Michael, thank you for your question.  In many respects, you might be right that managing time, or at least trying to, is a waste of time. (I think there might be a pun there)  As I alluded to, with knowledge work and the explosion of communication tools over the last few years, things that could have waited a day or two now seem to have to be dealt with immediately.  It's not that the task is suddenly urgent; it's a combination of people's expectations and the delivery system.  The problem here is that no matter how fast the delivery system becomes—or other people's expectations— we are human. We can still only do one thing at a time. That is not going to change in our lifetime.  And that's where to start—understanding that you, as an individual, can only work on one thing at a time.  In other words, if you have ten equally urgent messages to reply to, you're going to have to choose which one to respond to first.  Now, you could come up with a complex, convoluted system for deciding which message to respond to first, or you could adopt a more straightforward first-in-first-out approach. Start with the oldest and work your way through your list of messages.  What are we talking about here—perhaps a ten-minute delay for you to get to a particular message? Does ten minutes really matter? You're not trying to save someone's life in an emergency room, are you?  Messages are often more time-sensitive than emails, and I find that responding to them between work sessions works best.  For instance, if you were to protect 9:30 to 11:30 am for focused work. That's two hours where you are technically not available. Once you finish that session, check your messages and respond to any that require a response.  When I set these barriers of doing undisturbed, focused work for two hours a day, I used to panic every time my phone dinged. I felt I had to respond immediately. Of course, that was not true. It never was, and it's still not true for any of us today.  It took a few weeks to wean myself off panicking every time a message came in, but the results were fantastic. My productivity went through the roof, leading to fewer urgent tasks.  Our brains are not good at handling interruptions to the flow of work. I've seen studies showing that even a minor interruption can take you up to 18 minutes to refocus and get back to where you were before.  Think about that for a moment. Even if you were taking ten minutes to refocus and getting an average of six interruptions per day, you've lost an hour. Or to put it into a better perspective, that's 12 ½ per cent of your work day gone. Wasted. By responding to messages between work sessions, you avoid losing focus and get more work done in less time.  And it's there that you will find fewer urgent tasks to do. Because you are getting more done in less time, you will be able to stay on top of projects and other work without getting too close to the deadline.  Another area that can make us feel that managing our time is a waste of time is focusing on the number of tasks rather than the time we have available. Again, this is linked to the fragility of being human. We are affected by how much sleep we get, our mood, and our diet.  Have a bad night's sleep, then a fight with your kids over the breakfast table and a sugary doughnut as a midmorning snack, and you're not going to get a lot of work done.  You have a sleep debt, you're worked up by the argument, and that doughnut is going to give you a massive energy crash.  This is why estimating how long a task will take is challenging.  I've been writing a 1,000-word blog post every week for around ten years now. You'd think I would be able to estimate reasonably accurately how long writing 1,000 words would take after writing over 500 blog posts. Ha! No chance. Some days I can write the first draft in forty-five minutes, other days it can take me two hours.  The biggest effect on how long it will take me is sleep. If I get my seven hours, I know it'll take me less than an hour. Less than six hours, and I'm struggling to do it in two hours.  A better approach is to allocate time for doing groups of linked tasks. For example, group all your actionable emails and set aside 40 to 60 minutes at the end of the day to deal with them.  This way, it doesn't matter how many emails you have to act on; you do as many as you can in the time you have.  If you're doing this every day, you'll soon find you have no email backlogs. What amazes me is the people who try this for a few days and give up because their huge backlog of actionable emails is not getting significantly smaller. Well, of course not. If you're starting with six hundred actionable emails, it's going to take you a long time to get that under control.  What you could do is set aside a one-off period to get that backlog under control first. Then set a time each day to keep it under control.  Or make sure you have a “net-gain” with your responses. For instance, if you get 20 actionable emails in a day, respond to at least 21. That's a net gain. If you do that consistently over a few weeks, your backlog of actionable emails will reduce significantly.  You're not going to lose the holiday weight you gained in a few days. It might have only taken you a few days to gain that weight, but it's going to take you a few weeks, if not months, to lose it. (Life's tough, isn't it?)  Most of the reasons why so many people quit making necessary changes, whether in their work or personal life, are linked to the initial difficulty of change.  All change is difficult at first. You're changing. But soon that change becomes your norm, and then it becomes easy. It becomes “just what you do”.  There's a time and place for the things you want to or must do. This is where your calendar comes into play.  Scheduling time for play, rest and exercise is just as important as scheduling meetings with your clients or boss. Trouble is, we don't do that. We prioritise work over other essential things in our lives.  As Jim Rohn said, “When you work, work. When you play, play. Don't mix the two” Ask yourself, where's your boundary? If you don't have one, you're not managing time; you're allowing time to manage you.  There are many ways you can take control of your calendar.  You could, for example, limit the number of hours you spend in meetings each week. If you work a typical 40-hour week, you could set the maximum time you spend in meetings at 15 hours. That will leave you with 25 hours dedicated to doing your work tasks.  Most people I talk with have no idea how much time they are spending in meetings each week. They say “yes” to every meeting request. WOW! If you don't have control of that, you're “up the creek without a paddle”.  Managing time is about managing your calendar and doing the hard things, like saying no to additional meetings that won't help you do your work.  This is one reason why the old-fashioned paper planners were so good. Because you had to handwrite your appointments into your diary, there was no way you could double-book yourself. Sadly, that one simple feature does not exist in digital calendars.  I've seen people with four appointments all scheduled at the same time. Come on, you cannot be in two meetings at once, let alone four! You can also protect blocks of time for doing your most important work each day. It's not difficult, and with shared calendars, doing so indicates to other people that you are not available at that time.  And most important of all, you can do a short daily planning session where you look at your calendar to see where your commitments are, then curate your to-do list so that the number of tasks you have for today is realistic, given how much non-meeting time you have.  Yet none of these are tool issues. These are human decisions we need to make, and we need to be strong enough to follow through with them. Blaming our boss, colleagues, customers, or tools won't improve the situation.  Only by being strong enough to say “no, not then, how about this time”, can you ever regain control of your time and see a corresponding increase in your productivity.  So there you go, Michael. Time management and productivity systems can and do work, but they only work if you are willing to make the difficult choices that come with them.  Be consistent in trusting your calendar. Allow it to structure your day between your work and home life.  Don't allow someone else's “urgent” to become your urgent. Respond to messages appropriately, but within your time frames.  I hope that has helped, and thank you for your question. And thank you to you, too, for listening.  It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.

Send us a textWhen Chelsea Brown's partner was diagnosed with schizophrenia and later took his own life, her world collapsed overnight. Within weeks, she went from a stay-at-home hockey mom to sleeping in trap houses, using meth, and running for her life.What followed was years of violence, addiction, and survival — including being shot in the head by an abusive partner, miscarriages from repeated assaults, and fighting for her children while battling homelessness and systemic neglect.But Chelsea survived. Through courage, community support, and sheer determination, she escaped and built something extraordinary — Warriors Way Forward, an advocacy organization pushing for trauma-informed policing and systemic reform for domestic violence survivors.Her story is one of unimaginable pain turned into purpose — a reminder that even in the darkest places, warriors rise.✅ Check SEIU West✅ Wellness News✅ Bunny Hugs and Mental Health✅ Parenting in the StormChelsea's linksFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/17oZzziCTa/?mibextid=wwXIfrNew's publicationshttps://edmontonjournal.com/news/local-news/edmonton-woman-says-police-didnt-take-domestic-violence-case-seriouslyhttps://edmontonjournal.com/news/local-news/domestic-abuse-femicide-edmonton-alberta=============Find Donna on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/donna.gilchrist.794Support the showCheck out the speakeasy podcast Follow Daniel Unmanageable on Facebook Follow Project Sparky We've got fresh merch and it's amazing!

Is your communication style a red flag?

Speaker: Pastor Matthew Walker Scripture: Luke 1:26-38

In a brutal loss for those who want a MAGA civil war, MAGA voters approve of President Trump according to a new YouGov poll. On the flip side, a new poll from politico, a significant portion of 2024 Trump voters — more than a third — do not consider themselves to be MAGA Republicans. And not only are they less loyal to Trump than self-identified MAGA Republicans, the poll suggests some of them have already begun to turn on him: Non-MAGA Trump voters are much more likely to blame Trump for the state of the economy, say he has too much power and be pessimistic about the future. So which one is it? An Afghan national shot two National Guardsmen on Wednesday, one succumbed to injuries on Thanksgiving. Trump is now freezing all visas from third-world countries.Guest: Stephen Gardner - Host, The Stephen Gardner ShowSponsor:My PillowWww.MyPillow.com/johnSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A broker from a national pizza chain asked me to extend their lease and lower their rent by $5/SF. But instead of panicking, I asked a better question: “Would they be open to leaving instead?” In this episode, I break down the full story—and why more landlords need to stop reacting from fear and start thinking strategically.From understanding tenant exclusives in the market to knowing when to call a bluff, I walk you through exactly how I handled this pitch, the math behind restaurant margins, and why you should never drop rent without seeing sales. If you're being hit with rent reduction requests—especially from nationals—this is a must-listen playbook for keeping your NOI strong.

His primary research focus is the study of moral psychology. In this episode, we talk about trolley-type moral dilemmas. We start by discussing what they are, and their different types. We talk about an experiment where people had to decide whether to allow two confederates to receive a painful electroshock or shock a third confederate. We discuss the action principle, the contact principle, and the intention principle in sacrificial dilemmas. We talk about iterative sacrificial dilemmas. We discuss the dual-process model for moral cognition, whether cognitive ability is correlated with a preference for utilitarianism, and whether trolley problems are realistic. We also talk about how people infer the moral character of others based on how they resolve sacrificial moral dilemmas, and whether people choose to exit social dilemmas in real life.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Send us a textSharing some of my favorite throwback episodes from Kids These Days...What if the first second of your response could change how your teen handles anxiety? We unpack a practical, compassionate approach to big feelings that begins with a steady face and ends with stronger connection. No jargon, no lectures—just a clear framework you can use tonight.We start with the counterintuitive move that lowers the temperature fast: fix your face. Learn why a neutral, grounded expression and tone signal safety to a nervous system on high alert—and how to repair quickly if your surprise or frustration slips out. Then we pivot to co-regulation, using short prompts and shared breathing to slow runaway thoughts. Instead of shutting worries down, we draw them out with simple questions that shrink vague fears into specific, manageable pieces.With calm restored, we shift to consent. You'll hear scripts that honor autonomy: “Do you want my take?” and “What should we do together?” When teens say yes, we offer concise, doable steps instead of lectures. When they say no, we respect the boundary—and keep the door open. We also map out the follow-up rhythm that builds trust over time: a light touch the next day, a check-in later in the week, and a watchful eye for changes in mood, sleep, school, and friendships. Finally, we cover how and when to seek professional support, frame it as teamwork, and navigate waitlists while keeping momentum at home.If you've ever wondered how to help without hovering, how to listen without minimizing, or how to advise without taking over, this guide to teen anxiety gives you the tools. Expect practical language you can borrow, evidence-informed reasoning for each step, and a steady reminder that presence beats perfection. If this helped, share it with a friend who's supporting a worried teen, subscribe for more science-backed parenting strategies, and leave a review to tell us which step made the biggest difference.This podcast is meant to be a resource for the general public, as well as fellow therapists/psychologists.

You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today we're bringing you a special rebroadcast of one of our most popular episodes. The village keeps coming back to this one, and for good reason. In this episode, Rachel and I dive into those moments when kids say things that feel rude, hurtful, or even shocking. We unpack why these behaviors often come from a place of dysregulation, what might be going on beneath the surface, and how to respond in a way that builds connection instead of shame. We also talk about what it looks like to model emotional regulation and healthy repair, even when we're triggered ourselves, and why it's okay to be a work in progress. These are themes we go even deeper into in our book Big Kids, Bigger Feelings, which is out now and full of tools to help you navigate these moments with more confidence and compassion.

Want help uncovering the real reasons behind your urges and building a plan to overcome your pornography use? Click here to book a free call with Sam to get help to overcome pornography – https://stopporn.info/    Have questions you want me to address on future podcast episodes? Email me here:  sam@healingcouples.org   Episode show notes: In this episode, we break down one of the most emotionally loaded moments couples face during porn addiction recovery: the hard questions. Not every question is the same — and today we unpack the two specific types that show up again and again during healing: Urge Questions: “Are you still struggling with urges or temptation?” These questions repeat because recovery is dynamic and she needs current information to feel safe. Why Questions: “Why did you do this?” “Why didn't you tell me earlier?” “Why wasn't I enough?” These questions aren't about information — they're about emotional reassurance and the deeper fears created by betrayal trauma. In this episode, you'll learn exactly how to navigate both. We explore: Why her questions often come from fear, not accusation Why his shutdown, defensiveness, or quick reassurance usually comes from shame How shame and fear collide in ways that trigger both partners The 95% Rule: why talking about why urges show up matters more than simply reporting whether they did How to turn check-ins from surface-level updates into meaningful emotional connection Why wives repeat the same “why” questions even after conversations seem “finished” The deeper meaning behind repeated questions and how to bring reassurance instead of re-explaining How husbands can shift from shame → compassion in real time A practical, step-by-step framework for answering hard questions with grounding, honesty, and emotional safety This conversation is essential for couples rebuilding trust after pornography use. Whether you're navigating early recovery, dealing with betrayal trauma, or trying to stop communication spirals before they start, this episode will give you clarity, tools, and hope. If you've ever found yourselves stuck in loops like: “Are you sure?” “Why again?” “I don't know what to say…” “I feel like I can't win…” “I'm afraid of making things worse…” —this episode will help you break those patterns and replace them with connection, emotional attunement, and honest, grounded communication.

Have you ever asked your loved one with dementia a simple question… and then waited far longer than you expected for an answer? Those long pauses can feel confusing or even worrying, but they're actually telling us something important about what's happening inside the brain. In this video, I break down why people with dementia often take so long to respond, what's happening with processing speed and neural pathways, and how you can support them in a way that reduces frustration for both of you. This is one of the most common questions I hear from caregivers, and understanding this piece can make communication feel calmer, easier, and more connected.
