What if 2026 doesn't begin with rushing, striving, or another long list of resolutions—but with rest? ✨ In this New Year's Day episode of Mom2Mom Mentoring, Misty offers a refreshing and hope-filled invitation for Christian moms who are tired of starting the year already exhausted. Instead of pushing harder, this episode explores how beginning with rest—God's way—can set the foundation for your most aligned and life-giving year yet.

In this episode, Dr. Karen Esser Professor and Chair of the Department of Physiology and Aging at the University of Florida joins the crew to break down one of the most overlooked performance variables in human physiology: circadian timing. After a career spent studying muscle adaptation, Dr. Esser shifted her research toward the molecular clocks inside our tissues, uncovering how every cell in the body keeps its own time. She explains how these clocks govern fuel storage, protein repair, metabolic readiness, and ultimately the way muscle responds to training. The team digs into what these clocks do, how they synchronize, and why misalignment affects everything from daily performance to long-term health. The conversation dives deep into time-of-day effects on strength, endurance, and adaptation. Dr. Esser highlights that humans are consistently stronger and more explosive in the afternoon, a pattern reflected in Olympic records and decades of performance data. But her lab's animal research reveals something game changing: consistent morning training can shift the internal clock system, allowing morning athletes to achieve equal or even better adaptations after several weeks, despite using lower absolute training loads. She also explains how travel, jet lag, and mistimed eating disrupt organ specific clocks, reducing performance and creating metabolic consequences similar to pre-diabetes. The crew tests these ideas against real world training habits, coaching experience, and what happens when athletes switch from evening to early morning training. Finally, Dr. Esser unpacks the broader health implications of circadian disruption from increased risk of metabolic disease and cardiovascular dysfunction to higher rates of depression and cancer in chronically misaligned shift workers. She outlines simple, actionable strategies: anchor your sleep and training times, keep eating within a roughly 10 hour window, avoid late night calories, and arrive early when competing across time zones. The conversation closes with practical takeaways for athletes, coaches, and everyday lifters who want to maximize adaptation, improve metabolic health, and align their biology with the rhythms built into every cell.

Welcome to Day 2765 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2765 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 104:10-23 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2765 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2765 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Domesticated Chaos – Water, Wine, and the Rhythms of Life. Today, we continue our exploration of the magnificent Psalm One Hundred Four, trekking through the middle section, verses ten through twenty-three, in the New Living Translation. In our previous trek through the opening verses of this psalm, we witnessed Yahweh as the Cosmic Architect. We saw Him robed in light, stretching out the heavens like a tent, and riding the storm clouds as His personal chariot. We saw Him rebuke the primeval chaos waters—the Tehom—driving them back with a shout of thunder to establish the dry land. That was a picture of Power and Conquest, establishing order over chaos. But today, the tone shifts from the dramatic to the domestic. Once the house is built, it must be furnished and supplied. In this section, the psalmist shows us that the very waters God rebuked in verse seven have now been tamed. They are no longer a threatening flood covering the mountains; they are now a life-giving gift flowing between the mountains. We will see God not just as the Builder, but as the Provider and the Timekeeper. He is the Host of a vibrant, teeming world where wild donkeys, nesting birds, roaring lions, and laboring humans all find their place and their portion from His hand. This is a celebration of the ecosystem of grace. So, let us walk by the quiet waters and through the green pastures of God's creation. The first segment is: The Taming of the Waters: Drink for the Wild. Psalm One Hundred Four: verses ten through twelve. You make springs pour into the ravines, so streams gush down from the mountains.  They provide water for all the animals, and the wild donkeys quench their thirst.  The birds nest beside the streams and sing among the branches of the trees. The psalmist begins by revisiting the element of water. In verses six through nine, water was a chaotic force that needed to be bounded. But now, in verse ten, God has domesticated it: "You make springs pour into the ravines, so streams gush down from the mountains." This is a profound theological statement. In the Divine Council worldview, the sea often represented hostility and death. But here, Yahweh transforms the chaotic element into a servant of life. He channels the water into "springs" (ma'yan) and "ravines" (nachal). He creates an irrigation system for the earth. And notice who the first beneficiaries are. It isn't humans. "They provide water for all the animals, and the wild donkeys quench their thirst." God cares for the "wild donkeys"...

We are thrilled to share Mary Yuzovskaya's set recorded live from Monument Festival 2025 as part of our MNMT 500 celebrations. Mary Yuzovskaya runs her set like an old but reliable steam engine locomotive. Except this train is going to Hogwarts. Mary is a responsible conductor, making sure everyone is on board, getting their bodies going at a steady pace, warming up the system for what's to come. Later. Her sound lives in a hypnotic but assertive space. The hypnotic part comes from steady patterns that loop and settle into the body. Rhythms that repeat long enough to quiet the thinking mind. You are not distracted by constant changes. The groove stays in place and draws you in through consistency. The whole Monument family is dancing in sync. Looking as good as ever. High in energy and anticipation. And then. The sky opens. But, we have our best lasers ON, saved for this occasion, saturday night, they weren't used on friday at all, and when the pouring rain hits the upgraded lasers, we have a million diamonds falling towards us. The crowd roars. Celebrates what nature throws at us. Surrenders to its will. No one left the dancefloor to seek refuge in their tents. No one. Mary Yuzovskaya responds... If you were there, you know that this was the start to what can only be described as the Champions League of festival night shifts. With Yuzovskaya, Pacho and Doltz seemingly playing one after another. Mary's job was to get the crowd going, but at the same time leave room for more. She delivered.

Life is shaped by rhythms that form who we become. Rhythms of Grace is an ongoing series that explores spiritual practices to help us grow in faith and experience God's presence. These disciplines—such as prayer, Sabbath, fasting, and more —aren't about earning God's love, but about living more fully in it. Each message will unpack a practice and provide practical tools to help you put it into action. In a world of hurry and distraction, these rhythms help us slow down and re-center on what matters most. As we follow Jesus, these practices shape us, both individually and collectively as the church, into His image.

If you have ADHD and sleep feels like a constant struggle, you're not imagining it—and you're definitely not alone. Research shows that 70–80% of adults with ADHD have chronic sleep problems, most commonly falling asleep too late and being unable to shift earlier, no matter how hard they try. For many of us, this pattern starts in childhood and is deeply tied to our biology.In this solo episode, I explain why ADHD brains are wired for later sleep, how “social jetlag” (early school and work schedules) creates ongoing sleep debt, and why so many ADHD adults are surviving on 5–6 hours of sleep when our brains actually need more. The tricky part? The symptoms of sleep deprivation—poor focus, low motivation, memory issues, irritability, and emotional dysregulation—look almost identical to ADHD itself.We dive into chronotherapy, a science-based approach that works with your circadian rhythm instead of fighting it. I break down how light exposure, strategic timing, and gentle sleep-wake adjustments can help regulate your internal clock without perfectionism or rigid routines.And yes—we talk about sunlight. Morning light is one of the most powerful (and overlooked) tools for ADHD regulation. I share how light therapy glasses, sun lamps, melatonin, and intentional light exposure can support better sleep, better focus, and a calmer nervous system overall.If you've been blaming yourself for sleep issues your brain never signed up for, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a much more realistic path forward.Watch this episode on YouTubeWant help with your ADHD?

In this episode, we're talking about inconsistency and why certain routines never stick, why "discipline" isn't the issue, and how your Human Design shows the natural rhythms your body prefers. If you've ever tried to force yourself into someone else's routine, wondered why it only worked for a week, then berated yourself for "not sticking with it", this episode will help you understand why — and what to build instead.

As the world slows down in the quiet space between years, Chanie invites school leaders into a powerful reflection:What did this year build in you?Not what you accomplished…Not what you finished…Not what you checked off the list…But what was formed within you as a leader navigating exhaustion, momentum, setbacks, breakthroughs, culture challenges, enrollment pressures, financial strain, team transition, and the very real humanity of leadership.In this deeply personal episode, Chanie shares her own journey through 2025 — a year that stretched her capacity, reshaped her identity as a leader, and forced her to develop new rhythms of discernment, emotional regulation, faith, marriage, health, and operational leadership.And while the details are her own, the themes are universal for school leaders:The invisible weight you carryThe pressure to remember everythingThe instinct to manage every outcomeThe exhaustion of holding everyone's emotionsThe desire for relief without guiltThe dance of relationshipsThe need for rhythms, not more systemsThis episode is a mirror, reflecting back the capacity you've built this year, often without even noticing.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeThe Leadership Lessons Inside a Full Year of StretchWhy capacity is built in friction, stretch, and tension — not in easeHow slowing down becomes a leadership strategy, not a setbackThe hidden emotional labor behind writing This Can't Be NormalWhat the Five Gears framework revealed about school operations and leadershipWhy memory can't be your leadership system — and how rhythms carry what your brain shouldn'tHow marriage, teams, and leadership all share the same “choreography” of conflictWhat it means to return — and why trust is built in the returnHow faith, steadiness, and presence become leadership anchorsThe power of “living the question” instead of rushing toward clarityWhy you're not behind — you're in a season that's building youKey Insights for School Leaders1.

In this GoodKind Podcast episode, Clayton, Amy, and Chris settle into the space between Christmas and New Year's and talk about what this in-between season really feels like for families. From Advent rhythms and family traditions to debating the best day of the week for Christmas to land, the conversation unfolds into a thoughtful look at rest, celebration, and the slower pace that often arrives after the big day.The team reflects on Advent practices in their own homes, including using the Family Guide, graduating kids into new rhythms, and how traditions evolve as children grow. From there, they zoom out to the calendar itself — unpacking how the day Christmas falls on shapes travel, work expectations, school breaks, and the overall emotional tone of the holiday season.They introduce the idea of “Christmas Tide” (or what they jokingly call “overtime”) — the days between Christmas and New Year — as a gift of unstructured time. This conversation explores why that stretch can be especially meaningful for reflection, rest, and resetting as a family, without rushing straight into resolutions or productivity.The episode also touches on how January functions differently than we often expect. Rather than a month for immediate habit changes, the team talks about January as a season of reflection, with February becoming a more natural place to begin new rhythms. Along the way, they share honest stories about family schedules, staying home instead of traveling, post-Christmas transitions, and the quiet beauty of not always knowing what day of the week it is.If you've ever felt torn between holding onto Christmas and feeling ready to move forward — or wondered how to create space for reflection without pressure — this episode offers a gentle, grounded way to think about the season between celebration and the year ahead.TakeawaysThe days between Christmas and New Year can be a meaningful season of rest, reflection, and transition for families.Advent and Christmas traditions naturally evolve as kids grow, and flexibility helps those rhythms stay life-giving.The day of the week Christmas falls on shapes work, school, and family expectations more than we often realize.“Christmas Tide” or "Overtime", as the hosts call it, offers space to slow down without rushing into goals or resolutions.January works best as a reflective month, with new habits forming more naturally later on.Letting Christmas end — without dragging it out or cutting it short — can help families transition well.Unstructured time and slower rhythms play an important role in shaping healthy family habits.Chapters00:00 Season Five teaser and what's ahead02:15 Advent rhythms and family traditions04:45 Graduating kids into new holiday practices07:30 What's the best day of the week for Christmas?10:40 Work, school breaks, and holiday expectations13:20 Introducing “Christmas Tide” and overtime16:10 Staying home, reflecting, and post-Christmas rhythms18:55 January as reflection, not resolution22:30 Letting the season end well24:45 Closing thoughts and encouragementKeywordsChristmas traditions, Advent practices, Christian family rhythms, Christmas Tide, parenting during holidays, family reflection, January reflection, Christian parenting podcast, holiday habits, seasonal rhythms

Does Christmas have pagan roots? Do other holidays? Should Christians incorporate modern cultural norms as our own, or be set apart? Did Christianity steal Christmas from Saturnalia? The Winter Solstice? Are Christmas trees actually Druid? And should Christians appropriate cultural ideals/norms/rhythms into our own practices or should be be set apart from the world? Whether it's how we celebrate the holidays, to what media we take in, how we spend our money, how we talk, or our views on sexuality, where is the line between being in the world, and of the world?

Episode 3 of On The Record once again proves that no matter how long you've worked in media, technology will always sense weakness.  Once operational, the episode quickly becomes a rallying cry for the quietly furious demographic known as Grumpy Older Men Who Have Had It With Banks. Michael officially embraces his new identity after discovering his bank changed everything without warning, while Brian counters with tales of frozen debit cards, vanished tellers, and the most devastating bank exit in history... From there, the conversation widens—considerably. There's a surprisingly heartfelt discussion about the best technology of 2025, which turns out not to be AI, crypto or anything with a subscription fee, but a lightweight laptop, a digital library card, and apps that simply work. Radical. Travel takes centre stage next, with Michael recounting a punishing but transcendent hike through Albania's Accursed Mountains, involving donkeys, snow-capped peaks, dodgy knees and a journey that somehow includes minibuses, boats and a black Mercedes. Brian counters with a pitch for Tulsa, Oklahoma—a city with no tourists, no traffic, a Bob Dylan Centre, a Woody Guthrie Centre, and an offer to pay you $10,000 to move there (family approval not guaranteed). Music eventually breaks through—this is a Rhythms podcast after all—with Christmas gift recommendations ranging from Mavis Staples and Paul Kelly to Dylan box sets, Patti Smith anniversaries, Springsteen gloom, and vinyl for hipsters aged anywhere between 30 and 60. There are also book tips, documentary detours, and a shared belief that Brad Pitt shirtless does not automatically equal a good movie. By the end, Episode 3 has covered banks, libraries, hiking, Dylan, Tulsa, laptops, Formula One, Christmas shopping and the philosophy of buying technology like a V8 Mustang—all without ever fully sticking to a plan. Which, frankly, is exactly the plan.

Send me a Text Message!In this episode, Mike reflects on the final stretch of 2025 — a year marked by intensity, and now, exhaustion. After running hot from August through early November, the season shifted, and life asked him to slow down, recover, and honor the deeper rhythms at play. This episode is an invitation to listen to your body, feel the energetic cycles, and stop trying to turn winter into summer.Key TakeawaysYou Are Always in a Season — Whether You Realize It or Not When you learn to live in tune with the energy around you, resistance disappears.Most of Us Try to Force Summer in the Middle of Winter The grind mindset disconnects you from your body, your truth, and your spiritual rhythm.Each Season Has a Role: Spring Plants, Summer Grows, Fall Harvests, Winter Rests Your business, body, and soul follow the same cycles — when you let them.Burnout Happens When You Ignore the Season You're In Pain and sickness are often messages from the body that you're out of sync.Goal Setting Isn't One-Size-Fits-All If goals light you up, great. If they drain you, there's another way to move forward.Notable Quotes“The only decision that I had to make was do I honor the natural cycles and seasons of life and allow kind of winter to set in? Or do I try to fight it and turn winter back into summer?”“Nature has cycles and nature has seasons.”“Most people try to fight life. They try to force life. They try to wrestle life to the ground. They try to dominate life.”“Whatever feels aligned for you, do it. Whatever feels unaligned for you, let it go and release it.”“Once you find that, you can let go of all the grind and the hustle and align with your soul's natural instincts and intuition.”Call to Action

In the second part of the Christmas Clean series, we dive into how to successfully navigate the Christmas season and catapult yourself into the New Year as a free man. The Christmas season, while the most wonderful time of the year, can also be the most "triggering". This episode focuses on routines, rhythms, and rituals.

Dr. McKnight teaches how Godly rhythms bring peace, clarity, and sustainability to emotional, spiritual, physical, and leadership wellness.
You'll learn why structure is not legalism, why rhythm is not restriction, and how alignment allows Kingdom women to lead from overflow instead of depletion.

On this episode of Legacy Makers, Kevin and Eric dive into the power of rhythms, rites, and milestones in fatherhood. Drawing inspiration from David Salyers' Champion Tribes and cultural traditions like Bar Mitzvahs, they explore how to intentionally mark life's big (and small) moments—from firsts like losing a tooth or riding a bike, to transitions, coming-of-age experiences, achievements, and even hardships. The conversation unpacks the Peak-End Rule from the Heath Brothers, shares personal stories of one-on-one trips, monthly dates, bedtime rituals, and holiday traditions, and challenges dads to reject "good enough" parenting for a higher standard of legacy-building. Whether it's celebrating a kindergartner's success with ice cream or guiding teens through tough decisions, discover practical, low-cost ways to create lasting memories and teach resilience. Perfect for fathers seeking to amplify everyday moments and build a family legacy that endures—because what gets celebrated gets repeated. Tune in and get inspired to start your own traditions today!

Tune into this Year's December Downshift & Uplift Episode. A yearly practice we always do, but that varies year by year based on the energy and focus we need. Join us for the full Reflection Ritual www.ReflectionRitual.com  The December Downshift signals to our internal systems (and the people and projects around us) that it's time to start the slow down vs. get swirled into the year-end or holiday madness, followed by new year start pressure. It's the cyclical co-creation rhythm and structure we practice to mimic the natural world, who has managed to prosper for billlions of year (and gives us a template for how to evolve, grow and thrive).   Think of the practice of downshifting at year end like driving a manual transmission car - you don't want to keep moving through Dec in 5th gear, at a high pace/ intensity/output still running on mental or emotional stressors from the weeks/months prior, and then hard downshift into neutral the last days of the year ... you'll blow out your system. And then likely need to recover. So you start depleted vs. ready to receive.  It's a wiser to move through the gears one by one, over the course of weeks, so you can: savor your connections, deeply replenish, and receive from all you have created this past cycle. Making choices that support you to be healthy, clear and ready to receive inspiration, insight and clarity for focusing and co-creating next year. This year ... I tuned into for what was needed this December Downshift and realized we would also benefit with a Consciousness Uplift too. So we can really replenish our light + shake off the stress + see the progress and difference our effort and care has made + work with the inner "heart alchemy" already happening within us, including releasing inner patterns and past experiences that it's time to heal, let go and rise stronger and more compassionate from. Our exploration today is framed around the 4 themes below. I'll guide you through some reflective meditations + give you wisdom inquiries that support you to make choices in Dec + Jan that give you energy, support your system and your alignment.  (Wisdom Inquiries here on my website) Ritual and Rhythm   Reflect, Recognize.  Release, Reset. Restore.  Resonance. Receive. We will be shining a light on things like: the invisible impact your energy and effort has made where there's momentum created from incremental progress rituals and rhythms you can put in place now in Dec and Jan making choices from wisdom of what restores, replenishes vs. obligation, guilt, and FOMO For 16 years I've created this structure through December and January for the co-creators, leaders + people + teams willing to do things differently, wiser.  Join us for the live happenings (see below) With great heart, Christine P.S.

OR: White Fuge Balmore It would be a shame to waste a pretty fantastic title, so I put it there, even though the Thankful Episode doesn't get a specific title like that. Y'know, if you add a comma, it could be like... a rare spawn in Final Fantasy XI. "White Fuge, Balmore " should i play more FFXI? on the one hand, it was kinda impenetrable. but it was also kinda sick. but i don't have much free time. but the time i DO have i mostly waste, and i could probably squeeze in some Vanadiel. hmm Join the Bottle Crow Discord to check out our live posted show notes as well as chat with us and other listeners!

Vanyfox is a DJ/producer taking the Portugal-born dance music genre batida to the world. Raised on the outskirts of Lisbon near the Quinta do Mocho neighborhood (home to many batida pioneers including Marfox and DJ Nervoso) and based in France, Vanyfox discusses his early memories and the emotions, experiences and production techniques that influence his sound, which borrows from trap, deep house and the rhythms of kuduro, kizomba and zouk. We talk about the deep life questions behind his Melodias e Choros EP, working with Montreal's Moonshine crew, his Angolan-Zairean heritage, the lineage of the coxes and foxes, his approach to DJing and his unique experiences traveling to Ivory Coast, Zanzibar, Saudi Arabia, and Ethiopia. Hosted by Vivian Host (aka DJ Star Eyes). For more info and extras, visit Ravetothegrave.org or Instagram @ravetothe.grave.

If your days feel like they're moving faster than your heart can keep up, this episode will breathe fresh peace into your hurried, overwhelmed world. You don't need a slower season to feel centered — you need simple, sustainable rhythms that anchor you in God's presence right in the middle of real life. In today's episode, I'm sharing three daily rhythms every working Christian mom can use, even in chaotic seasons, to help you slow your spirit, reconnect with God, and move through your day with more peace and less pressure. These rhythms are simple, grace-filled, and practical — no long routines or perfect quiet times required. Whether you're listening in the car line, between meetings, or folding laundry, you'll find tools you can use immediately. ✨ What You'll Learn in This Episode 1. The Slow Morning Reset Why 10–20 seconds with God before the world gets loud can change your entire day — even if your morning is chaotic. 2. Micro-Margins of Peace (30–90 second pauses) How small, intentional moments throughout your day help regulate your emotions, calm your nervous system, and reconnect you to God's presence. 3. The “Pause Before You React” Rhythm How to build a tiny gap between what happens to you and how you respond — and how this two-second pause invites the Holy Spirit to settle your heart before stress does.
