We're excited to announce an encore airing of our conversation with Irene Morgan, the remarkable 84-year-old founder of the Restorative CommUnity Coalition, originally broadcast on June 2nd! Since 2006, Irene has been a true pioneer and a beacon of wisdom in our community.A great-grandmother and savvy businesswoman, Irene's story is as rich as the history she's lived. In this rerun, she'll share how her family moved from California during World War II to establish a farm on the Northwest Border of the U.S. From running a slaughter-on-the-farm business, she transitioned to counseling, then delved into the non-profit world, passionately studying criminal justice, poverty, and free enterprise. Ultimately, she launched a coaching business dedicated to rebuilding our jail, prison, and public health and safety systems.Irene's foundation was built on farm business, family values, and community peacemaking. Alongside her elder siblings, she learned to champion hard work, fairness, peace, justice, honor, and freedom – all while navigating the complexities of farming, forestry, fishing, indigenous rights, and the profound issues of slavery and immigration during a tumultuous era.A vibrant and active advocate for peace and justice, Irene firmly believes that spending money on bigger prisons, punishment, and privatizing corporations is a "vast sinkhole" for community dollars. Instead, she argues, our funds are far better invested in recovery and community resilience work. Her vision is clear: to re-educate people on how to contribute to a thriving society. Her approach includes rehabilitation, reconstruction, restoring lives, reclaiming freedom, and investing in our families and local communities.They offer alternative pathways like mediation, restorative circles, and community service, helping individuals address root causes and take responsibility for their actions.The Coalition provides vital support to individuals re-entering society after incarceration, assisting with housing, employment, and access to essential services.Irene and the RCC tirelessly advocate for policy reforms that prioritize restorative justice principles and address the systemic inequities that fuel mass incarceration.Don't miss this encore episode with Irene Morgan and learn more about the incredible work of the Restorative CommUnity Coalition!The Restorative CommUnity Coalition works tirelessly to:Divert Individuals from the Traditional Justice SystemSupport Re-entry and RehabilitationAdvocate for Systemic Change

Well if that was the last Grand Prix at Imola for the forseeable future, it didn't leave us with a sour taste in the mouth and while it wasn't a classic race it was still better than some of the parades we've had round the circuit for the last 5 years since F1 made a return there in the patched together 2020 season.This week we take a look back at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, the first of 2 Italian races this season and the start of the European races to boot. Could McLaren and in particular Oscar Piastri keep up their dominant form from the first quarter of the season, now we're not flying away as much, or with the appearance of a few upgrades (as is traditional at this time of year), would we see more than the papaya cars in the mix?The answer was both sort of yes and sort of no as Max Verstappen spoiled the papaya party this week by completely turning around a RedBull that he wasn't overly keen on up to Saturday afternoon to pull out his most Max-like performances of the season so far. After "that move" on turn 2, there was seemingly no stopping him from running away with it. Especially when McLaren decided to let their drivers race rather than try to strategise a win!Obviously we're as tangent heavy as always (for some reason that you'll hear) and we've ended up with Franz Ferdinand as our featured band of the week (when did this become a music pod?) And as a bonus, while he's not here this week, Dan has promised to be on more shows this year!If you want to join in with the chat during the races (along with practice and qualifying) head over to our Discord where there's always a great crowd of people to watch along with. And on the socials weve got our Facebook, Instagram, BlueSky & Twitter (or is it X) and Paul's attempts at Sim Racing on our Twitch channel. And if you want to support us you can donate to our Patreon as well from as little as £/$/€ 1 per monthEnjoy

What is Right Action? How do we align our behavior with spiritual truth and personal integrity? In this powerful video, Rev. Lee Wolak breaks down the concept of Right Action, the fourth step of the Noble Eightfold Path, and explains how it applies to real-life choices, relationships, and your personal evolution. Right Action isn't about morality or rules—it's about conscious living. It's the practice of aligning your actions with your highest truth, cultivating integrity, compassion, and mindful responsibility in everything you do. From a Zen-inspired perspective and the lens of Religious Science, this talk explores how Right Action impacts your karma, your energy, and your spiritual awakening. Learn how every choice you make either expands your consciousness or reinforces illusion—and how to choose powerfully.

In this episode of The Shift Lab, we dive deeper into the topic of transformation, focusing on one key element: action. But not just any action—Right Action. We explore why it's crucial to have guiding principles and values to ensure our actions lead us to the outcomes we desire. Tune in and continue the journey with us as we uncover the powerful ways to make the SHIFT of a lifetime!

Ethan delves further into right action during a time of protest and chaos, using the recent examples of Tesla cars and cybertrucks being set on fire as a launching point. In The Power of Choice episode, he looked into the five precepts as guidelines for empowered and skillful action. In this episode, he looks into actions of mind as our guide: whether our actions are furthering our fixation on the three poisons of greed, hatred and delusion, or whether they are helping us liberate from those confused mentalities. Can we set samsara on fire instead? Ethan also makes a bad dad joke about using Tesla technology to make fart noises happen on a meditation retreat when our mind wanders or we need to wake up.

Acceptance isn't giving up. It's not pretending everything is fine when it's not. It's the opposite of resistance—it's allowing reality to be what it is so we can respond with a clear head to make change, instead of reacting from a place of stress or denial. Simply, sure. Easy? Not always. Polly talks about how acceptance empowers us and how we can engage it in our own lives.

A brief overview of the Eightfold Path. Often described as the "middle way," it offers a way of life that avoids the extremes of self-indulgence and self-denial. The path is a guide to ethical living, mental discipline, and wisdom, and it's divided into three categories: wisdom (Right View and Right Intention), ethical conduct (Right Speech, Right Action, and Right Livelihood), and mental discipline (Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, and Right Concentration). Each of these steps is interconnected, supporting the others like spokes in a wheel. Right View, the first step, is foundational. Bhikkhu Bodhi describes it as "the forerunner of the path," because how we perceive and understand the world shapes every decision we make. Right View invites us to see life as it truly is, rather than how we wish it to be. It's about aligning our perspective with reality—a reality that includes impermanence, interconnectedness, and the causes and conditions of suffering. Jack Kornfield puts it beautifully: "The wise heart sees the universal truths of change, suffering, and interdependence. When we see these truths clearly, we respond to life with balance and compassion." Gil Fronsdal once said, "Right View is not just about having correct beliefs; it's about seeing clearly in a way that transforms the heart." This transformation happens when we align our understanding with the Four Noble Truths: that suffering exists, it has a cause, it can end, and there's a path to its cessation. By integrating these truths into our lives, we begin to see challenges not as insurmountable problems but as opportunities for growth and awakening. Tara Brach: "Awakening self-compassion is often the greatest challenge people face on the spiritual path. It's also the most transformative. When we practice seeing clearly with kindness, we open the door to healing and freedom."

At 84, Irene Morgan, the founder of the Restorative Community Coalition since 2006, is the epitome of a trail-savvy, wise 21st-century elder and businesswoman! Now a great-grandmother, Irene speaks about how her family moved from California in the middle of World War II to pioneer a family farm at the Northwest Border of the U.S. She explains how she moved from a slaughter-on-the-farm business, through being a counselor, then into the world of non-profits and studying the issues of criminal justice, poverty, and free enterprise. Ultimately, she began a coaching business and started working to rebuild our jail, prison, and public health and safety systems. As a foundation, Irene earned her stripes in farm business, with family values and community peacemaking at the center. And, with elder siblings, she cut her teeth learning how to stand up for hard work, fairness, peace, justice, honor, and freedom right in the middle of farming, forestry, fishing, indigenous rights, the issues facing slavery and immigration, during a time of great tumult! A totally vibrant and working activist for peace and justice, Irene is clear that money spent on bigger prisons, punishment, and privatizing corporations is not a solution—it is a vast sinkhole for community dollars. Our money is far better spent doing recovery and community resilience work. Her vision is clear: To spend our money on reeducating people how to be contributory to a living, vital society. Her steps include: rehabilitation, reconstruction, restoring lives, reclaiming freedom, and investing in our families and local communities. The Restorative Community Coalition works to: *Divert individuals from the traditional justice system: By offering alternative pathways to justice, such as mediation, restorative circles, and community service, the RCC helps individuals address the root causes of their actions and take responsibility for their choices. *Support re-entry and rehabilitation: The RCC provides crucial support to individuals re-entering society after incarceration, helping them find housing, employment, and access to essential services. *Advocate for systemic change: Irene and the RCC tirelessly advocate for policy reforms that prioritize restorative justice principles and address the systemic inequities that contribute to mass incarceration.

Chapter 4, v. 16-20 Delve into the exploration of what constitutes right action and how it is deeply rooted in intention and motive.

Learn how right action can lead to spiritual growth and a life aligned with divine principles.

When we start losing our hard-earned money in the market, we want to put a stop to it. We want to take action. But statistically, we know that investors who stay the course do better over time than those who try to time the markets.  Jinny Uppal, author of “IN/ACTION: Rethinking the Path to Results," dishes on why we should stop listening to the voice in our head that tempts us to a default action path. "The belief that ‘I am the one who can control the outcome with my action,' makes us take more action than is necessary," she says. In Mailbag, we advise a divorced listener on setting up a trust for her son.  Takeaways: Why strategic inaction might be your best move during times of instability in the market. Personal signals that indicate when to take action or pause. Why we associate action with results and how that could lead us astray.  It's important to take informed actions based on thoughtful consideration.

Send us a Text Message.In this episode, we delve into the profound yet practical philosophy of “Take the Next Right Action.” This simple mantra holds a world of meaning, especially for those on the journey of recovery. It's about the courage to confront the challenging tasks we'd rather avoid, the selfless acts of kindness that elevate others at the expense of our own comfort, and the quiet heroism in extending a hand to those who are wrestling with their own battles.For many, recovery is not just a path to personal healing, but a road paved with opportunities to make a difference in the lives of others. “Doing the next right thing” isn't about grand gestures; it's found in the everyday choices that, while they may seem small, create ripples of positive change. Whether it's choosing honesty over convenience, service over self-indulgence, or hope over despair, these decisions shape the journey of recovery and reflect the heart of this podcast.Join us as we explore stories of resilience and generosity, and discuss how embracing this mindset can transform not only individual lives but also weave a tapestry of communal support and understanding. Together, we'll learn that sometimes, the hardest choices are the most rewarding, and helping someone struggling might just be the next right thing for you.Do you find value in what the Sober Friends Podcast does?

They have to do that for themselves.We need to focus on the concept of one more rep and how it relates to meditation and our daily improvement.We need to start educating people on how to be self aware at a younger age.The cognitive triangle is what we need to realize affects how others see us. People can't see our thoughts and feelings. But only are actions which define who we are.We should look to implement a 10-15 minute slot of time each day when students are able to practice self awareness as it pertains to the cognitive triangle.EI180 is a series of 15 minute lessons designed to help students increase their self awareness.The only way or make our communities better is to start with self-awareness.Stay in Touch:WebsiteEmail: mjames5526@gmail.comPhone: 781-367-9298Don't Forget to Review the Show!I appreciate you checking out the episodes.

In this episode, Eckhart explains to a live audience that a deeper movement has brought them together and the goal is to help them awaken. He says many ancient spiritual teachings point to this timeless idea of metamorphosis including the parables of Jesus and others. He explains the root of the word Buddha means to be awake in Sanskrit. Eckhart explains when we shift to higher consciousness, we have access to wisdom which is far deeper than intelligence. Ironically, he says more knowledge will not save us. In fact, intelligence often works in service of madness, technology, war and weapons of mass destruction. He believes only wisdom together with right action will help our ailing world and these can only spring from awakened consciousness.Want more podcasts from OWN?

2 Timothy 3:16 King James Version 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Alexandria Rema Saleem is a first generation Palestinian-American creatrix. (She's also a dear friend, Womb Room member, and mother of twins!) Her creative work activates from a place of multidimensional healing, to serve as a conduit of ancestral knowledge, collective consciousness, and communal desire. She works between the land, as a regenerative flower farmer, with sacred activism as the foundation of her artistic practice the interweaves through all of the seeds she plants. In this conversation, we explore: How we access the internal spaciousness to discern right action when there is threat in our nervous systems The language of “war,” “genocide,” and how we navigate our activations around language to find connection and relationship Alexandria's experience of being able to feel family members in Palestine she has never met, through her bodily experience of grief Our quantum capacity to feel (grief, suffering, pain, joy, liberation), beyond the confines of time space How grief connects us to our lineages What it means to hold paradox in the body, and the ways that we use self-punishment, blame, or hopelessness as ways to get out of feeling Letting our yin (emotional expression) resource our yang (discernment, direction, action) Connection to land, food, family and the intergenerational alchemy as the lighthouses of liberation Alexandria is a multimedia performance artist, art director, and set designer whose practice is hybrid, incorporating dance, performance art, film, installation, happenings, and environment design. Her practice holds space for the intimate to become a window into the universal & cosmic; Inviting the collective experience to eclipse individual subjectivity and allow for an evolved empathetic process. She works with individuals, communities, and other creatives to reclaim our human right to have sacred spaces, through world building, dance, ritual, risk, and tenderness. She is co-director of the Center for study and preservation of Palestine, Founding member of the Black Oregon Land Trust, and Co-founder of SWANA Rose Culture and community center.  Some of her selected resources to share include: PFC Palestinian femminist Collective US Campagin for Palestinian Rights Palestinian Youth Movement Alexandria's IG ___________ Join The Womb Room, where we are cultivating coherence, embodied sovereignty, and practicing interdependence

Learn More About Money Mastery for Actors About Rose Marie: Official "Auntie Bear," Rose Marie is Peter's right-hand woman at Acting Business Boot Camp. She learned the budget system and used it to completely renew her relationship with money. Moving from the kind of person who checked her bank account with her eyes closed every few months to knowing exactly how she wants to spend her resources to serve her goals. She learned this system from Mama Bear herself, which completely changed her relationship with money, empowering her to help others do the same. Rose Marie's history with money and how she came to the Money Mastery Budgeting program. I just felt hopeless. I didn't know what to do. Money was coming in very irregularly because I was working many different jobs. And I really didn't know how to manage my money at all. This system has completely transformed the way I look at money. I have like a 795 credit score; I'm able to save. I have zero debt. I paid it all off. I have savings. I have a retirement in stocks. The budget system has completely overhauled my entire life in terms of finances. I started coaching for the budget coaching in 2017. So can you explain what Jason Harris's budget system looks like? It's figuring out your predictable monthly spending and how much it takes to run us at a baseline. I'm not talking about any of the extras. I'm talking about rent, cell phone insurance. I include my gym membership in my nut because going to the gym is really important to me. And I cannot survive as a human being if I don't work out. And then also figuring out how much money you have left over for your unpredictable monthly spending. And putting it all together using the income you made the month before. So instead of trying to live with, "the money I made now gets spent now." Hand-to-mouth does not work. It really creates so much stress in your life in a way that is just unbearable. The amount of anxiety, stress, and yucky feelings about myself and who I am. I thought I could never make money. I thought I wasn't good at making money; I thought I was just not good. I had such a fixed mindset regarding income, spending, and finances. On the second night, Peter deals with all the yucky feelings that come up when it yucky feelings. We tie money up in so much of our own self-worth. You can think your way into Right Action, and you can act your way into Right Thinking. And I think your part of the course is acting your way into right thinking, and my part is thinking your way into right acting. So it supports the goal of financial freedom. More money not a problem. Less money problem. Gamifying your spending. "I am gonna have extra money left over in all my categories at the end of the month." But the other thing that you made me do, which is really revolutionary for me, and I know all of the world is such an internet, digital. We all live on our phones, and there are so many apps that let you do this: you made me carry a little notebook in my purse or my backpack everywhere through New York City, and I would write down every single thing I spent money on, and at the end of the day, I would subtract how much I spent money on, from how much I had left. And the act of writing it down just made me so much more aware of where my money was going. AND I didn't give up the first time I forgot to do it. And so the thing that I really tried to separate myself from was having to do it perfectly for it to work. The other thing I love about the budget system, you don't have to do it perfectly for it to work. The goal is to get 1% better at it and not give up the first time you hit some resistance. Because it's just numbers. I'll never forget the first month when I was in the green. I was like, "Oh my God, I can do this. This is not outside of my purview. I am capable of creating a financial abundance." Even if it was a hundred dollars, it doesn't matter. It was still a hundred dollars. The other thing that I love about this system, in terms of building confidence, is all you have to do is follow the steps. If it takes three months to get from the red to the green, that's fine. You're just working the system, waking up every day, doing it as we teach it, and eventually, you're like, "Oh, I'm a master at this." It becomes automatic after a while. When I started doing it, first of all, when Jason taught it to me, I started crying. I just burst into tears. It was humiliating that I didn't know how to handle my money. I felt like I was stupid. I felt like I was totally incapable, that I wasn't smart. These were all the things that came up for me around budgeting. And I just felt defective, and I had a tremendous amount of shame around it. And I told myself, "Swallow your pride, suppress your ego, and remain teachable and see if he's got something here that works." If I told you how much I have in savings now and how much, you know, abundance I have in my life because of his system, it's incredible. I'll never forget the first person who used the system to move from New York to la. And like all she did was run the budget system for a few months. Making rules for yourself. You have to plan ahead. Otherwise, you end up spending money that you didn't want to spend. An easy exercise everyone listening to this podcast can do right now: Print off all of your statements from the last month, Highlight any time you made an impulsive purchase, or you had negative emotions with a purchase Also, highlight all the subscriptions and things you didn't know you were paying for. What it allows you to do is it gives you some awareness so that the next time you have the impulse to spend $40 on a new shirt when you're out and about, Or get that $7 latte, especially when you're trying to fix your finances and, in the end, you don't care that much about the latte. I'm not saying don't indulge sometimes, it's important to indulge, but I think to indulge with an awareness. But also, to get all those purchases you didn't feel great about afterward, they didn't turn out how you wanted them to. You spent money, and then you're like, "Ugh, why did I do that again? I'm self-sabotaging because I have these goals, but I just spent $200 on this thing that won't serve me." And just by doing that exercise, you begin to elevate your awareness and your thoughts so that the next time that thing comes up, you'll maybe choose a different thing. Understand that your budget system is not trying to make your life hard. You're trying to find something livable and create your income around that. Because if you say, "Oh, I'm gonna live on $500 a month." Well, yeah, you're living on oodles of noodles and ramen. It's not practical, and that's not the point. Not spending money is not the point of the budget system. There's so much morality tied up in spending money equals bad. The reality is that we live in a world where we need to spend money, and also, spending money is fun when you save up. Fun funds: you're an actor saving up for headshots, saving up for vacations create monthly patterns so you can end up where you want to be. I went to Italy for three weeks last year with my fiancé. And I saved up for a year for that. But when I got to spend that money, did it feel good? And I did not even care about spending it. This is the realization of my yearlong dream. "The walls of your comfort zone are lovingly decorated with your lifelong collection of favorite excuses." Jen Sincero Mine was, "I'm bad at math, so that's why I couldn't budget. That's why I'm not smart around money." Separating your self-worth from your bank account. Acting your way into right thinking and thinking your way into right acting. Day one is the practicality of it. That's the acting your way into the right thinking. And then, day two is my teaching the thinking your way into right acting. And it's also that both your actions must support your goal, and your thoughts must support your goal. Both of those things have to be happening at the same time to achieve it. That's the recipe for success. Figuring out where did this shit come from? Without both together, you end up stuck because you can come up with a million excuses for why you can't do the budgeting. I didn't think it would work as well as it did, and I mean, countless other people have said the same. And then my thinking shifted with other things in my life because if this is true, what else is true? I can manage my money; what else can I manage? That I didn't think that I could. Think about where your money's going now and where you want it to go in the future. For example, when I started saving and investing, I put in $10 a week. That is like nothing. But I knew that if I just budgeted for that, it would get easier to add to it. And add on to that. And until you save a hundred dollars a week to invest in things. The other thing about investing is just sitting there making money off my money. And the other thing that I help think it helps with in terms of anxiety is it gives you, if you know how much it takes to run you, you're NUT. If you know how much you need in your NUT and roughly how much you spend on groceries and everything else, that's your unpredictable expenses. Then you find your magic number, which we call the number that it truly takes every month that you need to make in income. And so it also allows you to be empowered to choose how many shifts you need in a week in a month. That's on how much extra in gig work you need to make. For freelancers, the money comes in different months differently, but it also allows you to be like, "Okay, I made an extra two grand working on this acting project. Now I have two grand. Well, what do I do with that money?" This budget system teaches you what to do with that extra money when it comes in. So then, in the months that you have less money coming in, you don't freak out. Especially right now because I know times are hard with the strikes. But this allows you to feel like you have a sense of control, even if your work is unpredictable. Your money situation can be really fucked up like ours was, and there is hope. We do record this, and you can, like, you can watch the course as many times as you need to. Anyone that takes the course can work privately with Rose Marie for $35 an hour. Because people get stuck, and I want them to feel like they can get unstuck fast. Private Coaching with Rose Marie
