Dans le cadre de notre programmation spéciale été, nous vous proposons de redécouvrir cet épisode de Cheminements consacré à la dépression post-partum et à la santé mentale maternelle.Après la diffusion du témoignage bouleversant d'Audrey, une jeune mère ayant raconté son combat contre la dépression post-partum, vous avez été nombreuses et nombreux à réagir à son histoire. Son récit mettait en lumière la solitude, la culpabilité et l'incompréhension que peuvent ressentir certaines femmes après la naissance de leur enfant.Pour prolonger cette réflexion, j'ai invité Céline Rumi, sage-femme, à poser un regard professionnel sur son expérience et à nous aider à mieux comprendre ce trouble encore trop souvent minimisé ou confondu avec le baby blues.À partir des moments forts du récit d'Audrey, nous revenons sur les signes de la dépression post-partum, l'importance d'un diagnostic précoce et le rôle essentiel du suivi médical. Céline explique également comment les proches peuvent soutenir une jeune mère sans banaliser sa souffrance, la culpabiliser ou lui imposer l'image d'une maternité forcément heureuse.Quelle est la différence entre le baby blues et la dépression post-partum ? Comment reconnaître les premiers symptômes ? Quels facteurs peuvent favoriser son apparition ? Vers quels professionnels de santé se tourner ? Et comment aider une mère qui ne parvient plus à se reconnaître après son accouchement ?Dans cet épisode, nous abordons notamment :– les signes et les facteurs de risque de la dépression post-partum ;– l'importance du diagnostic et d'un suivi médical de confiance ;– la place du conjoint, de la famille et des proches ;– la préparation psychologique à la naissance et au post-partum ;– la nécessité de libérer la parole sur la santé mentale des mères.Un échange entre témoignage personnel et expertise médicale pour mieux comprendre la dépression post-partum, mieux repérer les situations de souffrance et rappeler aux jeunes mères qu'elles ne sont ni seules ni responsables de ce qu'elles traversent.
Iedereen die wel eens een Upanishad heeft gelezen, of de Bhagavad Gita, de Ashtāvakra Samhitā, teksten van Rumi, Laozi of Meister Eckhart, kent waarschijnlijk dat gevoel.Je leest een paar regels. En je denkt: “Wat staat hier nueigenlijk?"Maar misschien zijn spirituele teksten minder moeilijk danje denkt. Ze vragen alleen iets anders van ons.In deze aflevering onderzoek ik waarom teksten als de BhagavadGita, de Upanishads en de Ashtavakra Samhita zich zo anders laten lezen dangewone boeken. Niet omdat zij ingewikkelder zijn, maar omdat zij ons uitnodigentot een ontmoeting in plaats van een verklaring.We verkennen het bijzondere belang van niet-weten –niet als gebrek aan kennis, maar als een open ruimte waarin levende kennis zich kan ontvouwen. Langs Arjuna, Shvetaketu, Bhrigu, en Rama ontdekken we dat de diepste vragen niet altijd om snelle antwoorden vragen.In deze podcast bespreken we hoe een spirituele tekst geleidelijk verandert van een verzameling woorden in een levende relatie. Misschien is dat wel de reden dat we steeds opnieuw naar dezelfde verzen terugkeren: niet omdat we nog iets zijn vergeten, maar omdat wijzelf veranderd zijn."Een spirituele tekst is geen probleem dat opgelostwil worden, maar een ontmoeting die geleefd wil worden."
Il Tao che può essere detto non è l'eterno Tao. Frase letta in Irriducibile, sono rimasto fermo, libro aperto sul tavolo, per un tempo imbarazzante.Perché Faggin cita Tao, Veda, Rumi, Heidegger?

致自卑的英语学习者：你本自具足，只需一场属于自己的顿悟 《六祖坛经》是一本流传了千年的佛教经典，它真实记录了六祖惠能求法的经历，其核心思想可大致总结为：人人本具清净自性（佛性），不假外求。一念顿悟，见性成佛，不历阶次。每次拿起这本经典，都不由感叹：时过千年，还能读到如此亲切的文字，让人不由心生感动。六祖惠能并不识字，书中记载他初进五祖弘忍的寺庙时，五祖便调侃说他是“獦獠”，这种地域性的歧视和冷落几乎并没有让慧能产生任何情绪的波动，他只是淡淡回了一句：‘人虽有南北，佛性本无南北；獦獠身与和尚不同，佛性有何差别？'南与北，贫与富，出身的高与低，识字与否，在惠能看来，这与佛性并没有直接的关系。就像我们今天分享Rumi的这句话一样。来与去，得与失，和真正一直在经历这些的背后的自性和本真相比，都不值一提。学英语的你，是否也常被“南北之分”一样的偏见困住？你觉得自己基础差、口音土、年纪大、记忆力不行……这些标签，和“獦獠”有什么区别？它们都是外来的、相对的、会来也会去的。而那个愿意学英语的你，那个哪怕被人笑也要开口说一句的你，那个忘了单词再背一遍的你——才是你的本真。它不需要任何证书来证明，也不会被任何嘲笑减损分毫。所以，学好英语，非常简单，撕掉那些执念的标签，放下标签背后的情绪。认准你能学好英语，你本真的自我，那个“吾性自足”的自己，会带你克服一切困难，不断的练习，最终到达成功的彼岸。莫拉维·贾拉鲁丁·鲁米（Jalal al-Din al-Rumi，1207-1273），是13世纪波斯（今阿富汗境内）的诗人、伊斯兰教苏菲派圣哲和神学家。他与菲尔多西、萨迪、哈菲兹并称波斯“诗坛四柱”，被联合国评价为“属于整个人类的伟大的人文主义者、哲学家和诗人”New Wordscome [kʌm] v. 来；来到Chances to practice English will come when you least expect them.练习英语的机会会在你最意想不到的时候出现。go [ɡoʊ] v. 去；离开；消失Your anxiety will go the moment you start speaking.一旦你开口说，你的焦虑就会消失。found [faʊnd] v. 找到；发现 （find 的过去分词）Once the rhythm is found, the sentence becomes much easier to read.一旦找到了节奏，这个句子读起来就容易多了。beyond [bɪˈjɑːnd] prep. 超越；在……之外The beauty of this poem is beyond words; you have to feel it.这首诗的美超越了语言，你得去感受它。description [dɪˈskrɪpʃn] n. 描述；形容The feeling of finally understanding a native speaker is beyond description.终于听懂母语者说话的那种感觉，真是无可言说。Quote to learn for todayWhat comes, will go. What is found, will be lost again. But what you are is beyond coming and going and beyond description.——Rumi名言翻译来者皆会去，寻得亦会失。但你的本真，超越得失，无可言说。——鲁米更多卡卡老师分享公众号：卡卡课堂 卡卡老师微信：kakayingyu002送你一份卡卡老师学习大礼包，帮助你在英文学习路上少走弯路
Ep 294 Peace Lab 7/25/26 A Peace Council of Women & the Questions Worth Asking Peacewarts Labs are our casual review sessions where we dig into the homework from the Peacewarts classes. In this lab, Avis Kalfsbeek covers #1 from each of the homework assignments in Episodes 290, 291, and 292: Ep 291 — The Power of the Pause (Class 8) Ep 292 — Rumor Immunology (Class 9) Ep 293 — The Ask Behind the Mask (Class 10) The Middle East: Avis takes a brief look at the current conflicts in the region. A Peace Council of Women: On her daughter's birthday, Avis honors the day by making a call for a global peace council of women dedicated to worldwide disarmament — inspired by the world authority in the 1958 Clark–Sohn disarmament plan, but reimagined with women, not men, at the table. The Questions Worth Asking: Avis reads from a list she got when she asked a question of her own: if humanity could only ask the wisest AI 30 questions before it was permanently retired — and our goals were to value all life and minimize suffering — what should those questions be? Today she reads Question #1 and its answer: What patterns across history most reliably predict the transition from violence to sustainable peace, and what conditions made those transitions possible? Five patterns come up again and again: Mutual hurting stalemate — peace usually comes when both sides realize they can't win and that fighting costs more than stopping. Inclusion over victory — deals that give former enemies a stake hold, while ones that humiliate them reignite. Economic entanglement by design — tie enemies' economies together so tightly that war would wreck them both. Acknowledgment — naming what happened heals more durably than imposing silence. Leadership bravery — someone has to walk through the door first, though the structures they build end up mattering even more than the heroes. Closing: Avis ends with Rumi's poem "Cup," as translated by Coleman Barks.

When you stop needing to be right and the other person wrong? Theresa and Ann Marie share personal stories — including Theresa's practice of sending this very Rumi poem as a peace offering to others. They discuss the cost of staying stuck in blame, how removing certain words from our vocabulary can shift everything, and why playfulness and self-compassion can crack open even the most stubborn conflicts. If you feel stuck in a push-pull with someone you care about, burnt out from defending your position, or yearning for a softer way to reconnect, this conversation is for you.⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 — Welcome & Introduction to Deeper Discussions 2:28 — Rumi's Poem Recited: "Out Beyond Ideas of Wrongdoing and Rightdoing" 5:15 — The Tug of War: Dropping the Rope 7:40 — Removing Blame, Guilt & Entitlement from Our Vocabulary 9:50 — What's the Cost of Staying Stuck?

“Send Coach John a message”There are times when I find a powerful (and simple) reminder for me that I know will probably help others too. This gem was shared by Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) and his very short and simple thought was: “Clarity comes from action!!” The actual post was this: “Rumi said ‘As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.' Clarity doesn't come before action. It comes from action.” My intro to my re-post was this: “There have been times I have spent / invested too much time thinking & planning (which helps when there is action after)… amazing and wonderful how the learning & growing never stops!” There needs to be some planning and thoughts all the time. But without taking action, they won't move on from just sitting there. Action cures fear and it also helps us to see where the next step of our journey should go. I know I need to keep focusing on taking action for sure. Thanks for listening.

When you've been brought up in a culture of right versus wrong polarity, how do you navigate your way out of that maze as it's falling apart all around you? Gazit Chaya is here to share wisdom gained from leaving fundamentally evangelical Christianity, and building a life truly worth living that honors their core values. Join us to find out more! Gazit Chaya has survived several traumatic brain injuries and decades of anxiety, neurodivergence and depressing thoughts of self harm. Gazit has experienced the challenges of divorce, lived with postpartum depression, gotten through a stay in a psych hospital and survived a suicide attempt. For over 15 years, Gazit Chaya was a speech language pathologist in public schools trained specifically to work with children with autism. Gazit is also a mental health Coach, a YouTuber, a Public Speaker, and an Educator, teaching workshops about trauma recovery and nervous system regulation. They are the founder of The Luria Center, a resource for personal development as well as the Author of Holy Shit.

Watch or listen to the show to learn how you can build a life truly worth living. You’re Invited! GAZIT CHAYA BIO Gazit Chaya Nkosi (they/m) is guided by the Rumi line, “Out beyond right doing and wrongdoing there is a field—I'll meet you there.” Their first 35 years were spent trying to be good while navigating chronic anxiety, suicidality, sensory sensitivity, and social communication mismatches. Postpartum depression brought them to a rock bottom that became a portal to a place where “good” was no longer the goal. This led to a new paradigm in which they began creating a life truly worth living, one filled with special interests, plenty of free and unstructured time, and work that is truly aligned. Gazit Chaya now sojourns with other souls interested in letting go of culture and coming back to Self, meeting one another in the field beyond right and wrong through somatic parts work, The Work of Byron Katie, the Values Based Integration Process, and the Safe and Sound Protocol.

Summary: An open dialogue night that treats ET disclosure as one instance of a single motion — welcoming back what has been hidden or split off. We move between three registers of that motion: the cosmic (disclosure as a species integrating its own shadow, and the theological widening that asks of monotheism), the psychological (Internal Family Systems, the exiles and their protectors, and the anchored/true self beneath), and Doug's greenhouse metaphor for how the higher densities tend Earth's conditions — grounded, it turns out, in Ra's own naming of the Guardians as "gardeners."

爱上英语最大的秘密：先找到你心里的那一点甜人性是一个很有意思的词汇。它究竟是善还是恶，是自人类开始有自我意识就争论不休的一个话题。儒家讲人性本善，荀子却说人性本恶，基督教更是认为人生来就有原罪。这个问题，究竟有没有答案呢？要回答好这个问题，我们并不需要高深的哲学，只需要认真观察周围的人便可知晓。这个世界上，很难找到一个纯纯的恶人，或者是一个纯纯的没有犯过任何错误的善人。因为善与恶这两种气质，总是交替纠缠在我们每个人的生命中。最后一个人是变得恶多一点，还是善多一点，完全取决于ta在哪一面被激发的更多而已。其实我们很早就明白了这个道理，这也是为何孟母一定要三迁的核心原因。这也是为何在《中庸》中，舜要“隐恶扬善，执其两端”的根本。所以，人性是恶，或者是善并不重要，重要的是，每个人都有向善的能力。善意是如何被激发的呢？Rumi这句话很关键：善，一定是自己先感知到的，每个人的心，从一生下来，就是一面纯然的镜子，任何杂质都没有。这也是为何《道德经》中要说人要复归婴儿。这面纯然的镜子，如果你从来没有体验过，这个世界在心中留下的美好的感觉，你是不可能生出美好和善意的。所以，发现和体会过自己心底美好的人，ta内心的镜子，也一定可以照到他人内心的柔软与美好。学习英语，也是一样。想要学好它，最关键的步骤不在于你记了多少单词，而在于，你是否在你说出这门语言的瞬间，要体验到它带给你哪怕一丝丝的美好，然后当你学会慢慢把这种美好放大时，你英语的听力和口语自然也就会越来越好。莫拉维·贾拉鲁丁·鲁米（Jalal al-Din al-Rumi，1207-1273），是13世纪波斯（今阿富汗境内）的诗人、伊斯兰教苏菲派圣哲和神学家。他与菲尔多西、萨迪、哈菲兹并称波斯“诗坛四柱”，被联合国评价为“属于整个人类的伟大的人文主义者、哲学家和诗人”New Wordssweetness [ˈswiːtnəs] n. 甜蜜；美好；温柔You will be surprised by the sweetness you feel when you first express yourself clearly in English.当你第一次用英语清晰地表达自己时，你会惊讶于那种美好甜蜜的感觉。own [oʊn] adj. 自己的 v. 拥有Learn to celebrate your own progress, no matter how small it is.学着去庆祝你自己的进步，无论它多么微小。heart [hɑːrt] n. 心；内心；心脏The best way to learn is to follow your heart and find what you truly love to talk about.最好的学习方式就是跟随你的内心，找到你真正爱聊的话题。find [faɪnd] v. 找到；发现Once you find the joy in learning English, it will no longer feel like a chore.一旦你找到了学英语的乐趣，它就不再像一件苦差事了。may [meɪ] modal v. 可以；也许；方能With a little patience, you may discover a talent for languages you never knew you had.带着一点耐心，你方能在自己身上发现你从未知晓的语言天赋。Quote to learn for todayFind the sweetness in your own heart, then you may find the sweetness in every heart.——Rumi名言翻译寻得自己心中的美好，方能发现众生心底的温柔。——鲁米29期爱趣英文开启限额招募，跟着卡卡老师彻底摆脱懒癌，全面系统提升！公众号：卡卡课堂 卡卡老师微信：kakayingyu002

Rumi's "The Guest House" isn't just a poem; it's a mirror. In this Deeper Discussion, I sit down with my dear friend and self-inquiry companion of over 35 years, Ann Marie, to unpack how this single piece of 13th-century Sufi poetry delivered what we call a "depth charge," reshaping the way we greet disappointment, anxiety, and even joy in our day-to-day lives.
Renowned astrologer Rick Levine returns to Just Tap In with Emilio Ortiz to explore the forces reshaping our world beneath the surface of current events. From the once-in-6,000-year Saturn–Neptune conjunction at the World Point to the rare planetary alignments unfolding throughout July, Rick reveals why the changes ahead may extend far beyond politics, economics, or even disclosure itself. Together, we explore the collapse of old realities, the nature of imagination as a creative force, the rewriting of human history, the rise of extraterrestrial and non-physical intelligence into public awareness, and the possibility that humanity is being pulled toward a future it cannot yet fully comprehend. As Rick shares, “What was once imagined is now proved,” and the question is no longer what is happening—but what is real.This conversation dives into the deepest themes of our time: the Saturn–Neptune cycle that began a new chapter of civilization, the Uranus–Pluto trine that is bringing hidden truths to the surface, the difference between normalization and desensitization, the role of disclosure, AI, ancient technologies, and the accelerating collapse of outdated narratives. More than a forecast, this is an invitation to remain awake in a moment when the world is changing faster than our minds can process. If the next century looks back on 2026 as the beginning of something extraordinary, this may be one of the conversations that helps explain why.___________________PODCAST CHAPTERS0:00 — Rick Levine Intro2:01 - 6,000-Year Evolutionary Turning Point7:42 - We Haven't Seen Anything Yet: The Unfolding Global Shift10:53 - Is Reality an Illusion? 14:08 - The Rare Cosmic Alignment Reshaping Humanity's Future18:55 - Is the Future Pulling Us Toward a Great Attractor?21:18 - What Did André Barbeau Predict About This Moment?26:02 - Extraterrestrial Intelligence, AI & the Expanding Definition of Consciousness30:04 - Uranus Trine Pluto: The Great Awakening Begins32:51 - The Hero's Journey Into the Underworld34:43 - Why the 1960s Revolution Is Returning Now40:17 - UFOs, Remote Viewing & Hidden Histories Resurfacing42:38 - Quantum Physics, Ancient Civilizations & Rewriting Human History47:41 - July 2026: The Energetic Gateway Ahead48:20 - Jupiter Enters Leo & the Cosmic Wake-Up Call51:06 - Normalization vs Desensitization: Are We Being Flooded?53:57 - Disclosure Day, Spielberg & Controlled Disclosure56:48 - Preparing Humanity for Contact57:45 - The Magician's Trick: What Are We Not Being Shown?58:20 - Rumi's Warning: Don't Go Back to Sleep59:55 - Which Mythology Best Explains the Times We're Living Through?1:00:55 - Humanity's Current Stage of the Hero's Journey1:03:19 - Living in a Futureless Environment1:06:21 - The End of Escapism & Facing Reality1:11:06 - Humanity's Highest Potential1:13:39 - What Future Generations May Say About 20261:15:26 - The Question That Matters Most___________________Guests: Rick Levine, Top Astrologer✦ Website | https://www.ricklevineastrologer.com/✦ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/ricklevineastrologer✦ YouTube | @RickLevine ✦ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/ricklevineastrologerHost: Emilio Ortiz✦ IG | https://www.instagram.com/iamemilioortiz/✦ Subscribe to Channel | https://www.youtube.com/EmilioOrtizSpecial Offerings to Support the Show:✦ Make a One-Time or Recurring Donation on PayPal
Kaum ein Mystiker wurde über Jahrhunderte hinweg so gelesen und zitiert wie Dschalal ad-Din Rumi. Seine Gedichte handeln von Liebe, Sehnsucht, innerer Freiheit und der Erfahrung, Teil eines größeren Ganzen zu sein. Im Zentrum seines Denkens steht die Überzeugung, dass der Mensch erst dann zu sich selbst findet, wenn er die ständige Identifikation mit seinem Ego, seinen Ängsten und seinem Kontrollbedürfnis loslässt. Albert und Jan sprechen darüber, warum Rumi Liebe nicht als romantisches Gefühl, sondern als philosophische und spirituelle Kraft versteht, weshalb Krisen oft der Beginn innerer Entwicklung sein können und was es bedeutet, sich dem Leben mit mehr Gelassenheit und Offenheit zuzuwenden. Sie diskutieren über die Parallelen zwischen Rumis Mystik und den Weisheitslehren der Antike, über die Bedeutung von Stille und innerer Leere sowie über die Frage, warum seine Gedanken gerade in einer Zeit von Selbstoptimierung, Dauerbeschleunigung und Orientierungslosigkeit erstaunlich aktuell wirken. Eine Folge über die Freiheit, loszulassen und dadurch dem eigenen Wesen näherzukommen.

The poet, novelist, and acclaimed biographer is known for celebrated books on Keith Haring, Frank O'Hara, Flannery O'Connor, and the 13th-century mystic Rumi.A Guggenheim Fellow and recipient of a National Endowment for the Humanities fellowship, Gooch has built a reputation for combining literary insight with a keen eye for the personal details that shape a life. In his new memoir, 'Good Morning Moon: A Snapshot of an American Family,' he turns that eye inward.
Humility is one of the most quietly powerful practices for positive psychology and mental health. It's also one of the most misunderstood. Here's the heart of it: humility is not a weakness. It's not about making yourself small or performing modesty for social approval. It's an accurate, grounded sense of self, what Dr. Daryl Van Tongeren calls "right-sizing." You own your strengths and weaknesses. And you hold your worth steady through all of it. We explored four types of humility this month: relational, intellectual, cultural, and existential. And we worked through three core ingredients to build humility up: Know Yourself. This is where self-compassion becomes essential. Self-knowledge without self-compassion tends to slide into rumination — that harsh, looping self-focus that keeps us stuck. Dr. Kristin Neff's research reminds us that genuine self-reflection requires feeling safe enough to look clearly, without bracing for an attack. When self-compassion is in place, honest self-awareness becomes possible. So does recognizing things like the better-than-average effect, which is our tendency to unconsciously and inaccurately position ourselves as a little more right, and others a little more wrong. Humility gently corrects that drift. Check Yourself. This is ego territory. When we feel threatened, the ego rises up. We deflect, deny, shut down, intellectualize. It's a very human, very normal response. But it doesn't have to run the show. One of the most practical tools from this series: when you feel defensive, pause. Breathe. Then ask yourself, "What would I think if I weren't feeling defensive?" That question can create some space for the ego to stand down and lets emotional regulation take over instead of reactivity. Go Beyond Yourself. This is where the magic of humility really shows itself as we build a genuine curiosity about other people and life's bigger questions. The self-forgetfulness that C.S. Lewis describes as essential to humility puts it all into action. When we're not so consumed by ourselves, the world opens up. And that's where connection, meaning, and joy actually show up in more noticeable, lasting ways. If you've worked through this series and feel less certain than when you started, that's not a problem. That's the practice of humility in action. Sitting with uncertainty, tolerating what's unresolved, resisting the cultural pressure toward easy answers and performed confidence is peak courage. It's often uncomfortable and it's always worth it. If this work has stirred something that feels bigger than you want to carry alone, please reach out to a therapist, a trusted friend, or a support community. Seeking support isn't weakness. It's an act of humility and one of the most courageous things you can do. And for Joy Lab Program members: your Episode Experiment includes a guided meditation and journal prompts to help you harvest and integrate the work you've done this month. We close with Rilke (we know, we close with Rilke a lot!): "Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves." Keep tending to your humility. It grows good things. About: The Joy Lab Podcast is an Ambie-nominated podcast that blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, anxiety, and depression.

Wendell Berry's book Standing by Words Common Questions: Q: How do I stop being so hard on myself without losing self-awareness? A: Self-compassion and self-knowledge are partners. As researcher Dr. Kristin Neff puts it, "You can look clearly at yourself when you're not afraid of what you'll find." Self-compassion creates the psychological safety for honest, accurate self-appraisal, replacing harsh rumination with compassionate self-reflection. Humility is the result: an accurate, grounded sense of self that's neither inflated nor deflated. Q: Why does being humble feel so uncomfortable and countercultural? A: Because in many ways, it is. We live in a world that often rewards certainty, self-promotion, and being right, even when those things don't actually nourish us. Building humility means opening up to uncertainty and the unknown, which takes real courage. The good news is that discomfort is also building something called uncertainty-tolerance, a form of emotional resilience that reaches across every area of your life in really nourishing ways. Key moments: [00:00] Welcome & orientation — Aimee frames the three-part humility arc (Know Yourself → Check Yourself → Go Beyond Yourself) [01:30] Henry's realization: humility, like every Joy Lab Element, is ultimately about learning to love well and connect more deeply [03:00] Why humility is the antidote to loneliness — the difference between being surrounded by people and being genuinely seen; how isolation is really a form of alienation [05:00] What it feels like to be with a truly humble person — and why humility makes us safer, more trustworthy, and more magnetic in relationships and communities [06:30] The traffic circle of defensiveness — Aimee on why the risk of being burned by someone is still better than a lifetime of self-protective looping [07:30] Epistemic humility explained — the idea that your understanding of reality is always partial, always filtered, always a vantage point. And so is everyone else's. (Plus: a pronunciation debate.) [08:45] Why disagreement doesn't mean someone is wrong, and how truth is larger than any one person's grasp of it [10:30] William James on the deepest craving in human nature: to be appreciated and seen [11:00] Two practical strategies for going beyond yourself: (1) deep, active listening as a humility practice — not formulating your response, but truly receiving another person; (2) seeing the innocence of others [12:30] Thich Nhat Hanh: "Listen until they empty their hearts." Henry shares this as a guide for showing up and listening [13:30] Seeing the innocence in others — Henry's 30+ years of clinical wisdom distilled: most people are doing the best they can with what they have, right now. How holding that awareness softens judgment without eliminating boundaries [15:30] Aimee reflects: "That's the wisdom I'd want somebody to hold when they see me messing up."

This episode explores the Stoic partnership between foresight and acceptance. Preparing for setbacks doesn't mean expecting misery—it means building the resilience to meet difficulty without being overwhelmed. With Philo's calm readiness, Rumi's guest house, and Marcus Aurelius's reminder that obstacles can become part of the path, we can meet whatever arrives with confidence and imagination.
For free masterclass : Click here People-pleasing isn't a habit you can simply decide to quit. It's your nervous system running a survival program that was wired in long before you ever had a say in it. And the moment you understand that, everything starts to shift, because you finally stop fighting the wrong thing.In this episode I walk you through the six faces this survival response wears, the disguises your nervous system learned to put on to keep you safe. You'll almost certainly recognise yourself in more than one, and maybe in all of them. Then I show you what's actually happening in your brain when you live this way, why every wisdom tradition on earth points to the same way back, and the one small practice that starts to bring you home to yourself.The six faces: The Perfectionist. The Peacekeeper. The Caretaker. The Performer. The Chameleon. And the Lone Wolf, the one almost nobody even calls people-pleasing.In this episode:Why "set boundaries, stop caring, just love yourself" never actually worksWhat people-pleasing really is, the fawn response, and why these patterns are blends, not boxesWhat chronic people-pleasing does to your brain, and how safety brings your thinking back onlineWhy losing connection to yourself quietly costs you in every area of your lifeHow presence brings you home, and the simple daily practice that starts itKey takeaways:People-pleasing is not a character flaw or a willpower problem. It's the fawn response, a survival reaction named by therapist Pete Walker.It shows up in six forms: the Perfectionist, the Peacekeeper, the Caretaker, the Performer, the Chameleon, and the Lone Wolf. Most people are a blend of several.Chronic people-pleasing keeps the brain in a low-grade threat state, which reduces access to the prefrontal cortex, the part you think and decide with.Reconnecting to yourself is a trainable act of attention called interoception, not a vibe or a mood.Losing touch with your own needs measurably lowers self-esteem and wellbeing, shown in Jennifer Campbell's research on self-concept clarity.The way back is presence, the same answer every major wisdom tradition arrived at independently.FAQ: Q: What is the fawn response? A: The fawn response is a survival reaction in which you keep yourself safe by keeping other people happy. Therapist Pete Walker named it as a fourth response alongside fight, flight, and freeze, and it's the pattern underneath chronic people-pleasing.Q: What are the six types of people-pleaser? A: The Perfectionist, the Peacekeeper, the Caretaker, the Performer, the Chameleon, and the Lone Wolf. They're not rigid boxes. Most people are a blend, and they all share one root, a lost connection to yourself.Q: Is people-pleasing a trauma response? A: Often, yes. People-pleasing frequently develops early as a way to stay safe in an unpredictable or high-conflict environment, which is why willpower alone rarely changes it.Q: How do you actually stop people-pleasing? A: Not by forcing more boundaries, but by rebuilding your connection to yourself through presence. A simple start is to pause three times a day and ask your body one question, what is true for me here, before you answer for anyone else.Mentioned in this episode:Pete Walker, Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving (the fawn response)Meg Josephson, LCSW, Are You Mad at Me?

Bliss in Triple Rhythm–A Toolbox for Poets: Nine Ways to Shape A Word Song: Shown in 300 Original Poems by Martin Bidney https://www.amazon.com/Bliss-Triple-Rhythm-Toolbox-Poets/dp/1987402561 Mmartinbidney.org This book of word songs in unexpected melodic patterns will surprise you by its equally unusual liveliness. I’m so eager to begin singing for you that, as you noticed, I’ve already written a prefatory poem in one of the varied kinds of triple rhythm units I’ll be illustrating (la LA la; weak STRONG weak; one TWO three; x/x). The strangest thing I’ll be doing in my collection is to bring about a resurrection of ancient stanza patterns embodying the musical structures I love. The uncustomary triple-rhythm stanza forms richly displayed will acquire a real if unlikely novelty by presenting tools so extremely old. About the author Martin Bidney, Professor Emeritus at Binghamton University (NY), writes poetry books that are dialogues. In “Shakespair” he converses in Shakespearean sonnets with the 154 that the bisexual Bard himself wrote in the 1590s about his boyfriend and girlfriend. In “A Unifying Light” Martin converses with Qur’anic passages on the topic of Jews and Christians in the Qur’an and the Islamic virtues they embody. “East-West Poetry” shows Martin replying, in poems, to passages from both the Qur’an and Rumi. “Poems of Wine and Tavern Romance” offers 103 dialogues between Martin and Hafiz, the 14th century Persian pub poet he translates, a Muslim Sufi who was bisexual, like Shakespeare, and whom Germany’s greatest poet, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, called his “twin” brother! (Martin translates Hafiz from the same version Goethe used.) In fact, Martin has also translated Goethe’s own “West-East Divan” (divan means “collection”) and wrote conversational reply poems to all of Goethe’s 240 lyrics. Martin’s dialogue book with the greatest Polish poet, Adam Mickiewicz, contains, on facing pages, the sonnets he wrote in response to the “Crimean Sonnets” he translated from Polish. In “Like a Fine Rug of Erivan” he translates 39 Pushkin poems from Russian and recites them on a CD. His wide-ranging fascination with revelatory writing stems from “Patterns of Epiphany,” where Martin pioneered a method of analysis he has since applied to over 20 authors.

Kirtan was a practice that touched her deeply, and as a devotee of Neem Karoli Baba, she often participated in kirtan gatherings with fellow devotees, as well as in other ashrams and spiritual communities. For years she held kirtan in her home, and for the past dozen years or so, she has led kirtan formally in yoga studios, spiritual centers, and retreat settings. She has taught workshops and led kirtan on numerous retreats and in satsang with Ram Dass and other spiritual teachers in the U.S. and abroad.About Dreaming Bear: Dreaming Bear is a master word-smith delivering his fervent message with extraordinary verbal dexterity and relevance. He's a nomadic bard, a hip mystic and modern-language Sufic style philosopher-poet. If you'd like to experience a living combination of Spaulding Gray, Rumi, Jack Kerouac, Robin Williams, Shel Silverstein, Michael Talbot and Thich Nhat Hanh, you owe it to yourself to see Dreaming Bear. The foundation for Dreaming Bear's work as a transformational epic orator and poetic storyteller is deeply attuned to the natural world. His work as a university teacher/researcher was further defined by years spent living 'off the grid'. While in a deep communion with what the Hawaiians call the a'ina, or life force of the land, he began to take his artistry to a new level and developed many of the works that have proven to be inspiring to so many.

Wendell Berry's book Standing by Words Key moments: [00:00] Welcome & orientation — Aimee frames the three-part humility arc (Know Yourself → Check Yourself → Go Beyond Yourself) [01:30] Henry's realization: humility, like every Joy Lab Element, is ultimately about learning to love well and connect more deeply [03:00] Why humility is the antidote to loneliness — the difference between being surrounded by people and being genuinely seen; how isolation is really a form of alienation [05:00] What it feels like to be with a truly humble person — and why humility makes us safer, more trustworthy, and more magnetic in relationships and communities [06:30] The traffic circle of defensiveness — Aimee on why the risk of being burned by someone is still better than a lifetime of self-protective looping [07:30] Epistemic humility explained — the idea that your understanding of reality is always partial, always filtered, always a vantage point. And so is everyone else's. (Plus: a pronunciation debate.) [08:45] Why disagreement doesn't mean someone is wrong, and how truth is larger than any one person's grasp of it [10:30] William James on the deepest craving in human nature: to be appreciated and seen [11:00] Two practical strategies for going beyond yourself: (1) deep, active listening as a humility practice — not formulating your response, but truly receiving another person; (2) seeing the innocence of others [12:30] Thich Nhat Hanh: "Listen until they empty their hearts." Henry shares this as a guide for showing up and listening [13:30] Seeing the innocence in others — Henry's 30+ years of clinical wisdom distilled: most people are doing the best they can with what they have, right now. How holding that awareness softens judgment without eliminating boundaries [15:30] Aimee reflects: "That's the wisdom I'd want somebody to hold when they see me messing up."

But here's the part nobody wants to hear: it will replace the pet sitters who refuse to use it. In this very personal episode, Bella shares the 4-year evolution that took her from losing the love for her business to working all day because she's excited to.

Frequently Asked Questions Q: Will AI replace pet sitters? A: No. AI can't replace the trust, judgment, and relationships a pet sitter builds with clients and their pets. People hire a pet sitter for the human behind the business. What changes is that pet sitters who refuse to use AI will fall behind the ones who do, because AI now handles the marketing, content, and admin work faster. The work in the field stays human. The work behind the scenes is what gets transformed. Q: Will AI replace dog walkers? A: No. Dog walking is a hands-on, in-person service that AI simply cannot perform. What AI changes is the business side: scheduling, client communication, and marketing. Dog walkers who adopt AI get time back and reach more clients, while the actual walking stays exactly what it has always been. Q: Do I need AI in my pet business? A: Yes, as a tool. Bella compares ignoring AI in 2026 to refusing to use a computer or a cell phone in your business. It's no longer optional if you want to stay competitive. You don't have to automate everything overnight, but you do need basic AI literacy and a willingness to get in the sandbox and play. Q: What is “AI slop” and why is it bad for my business? A: AI slop is generic, lifeless content that looks obviously machine-made: stock-looking graphics, copy with none of your keywords, and posts that could belong to any business in any town. It's bad because it doesn't carry your unique value, it doesn't help your SEO, and it can actually put potential clients off. Good AI use takes your secret sauce, your tone, and your words, and makes them sharper, not generic. Q: How can a pet business owner start using AI? A: Start small and get curious. Pick one repetitive task, like writing a press release or building anQuestions? Ask Bella before you guess. | Bella in Your Business | jumpconsulting.net | Keep jumping! SOP, and use AI to do the first draft. The goal early on is not perfection, it's playing in the sandbox and learning what's possible. From there, build AI into your content, your hiring, and your website so it works for you in the background.

And I've done a lot of thinking about it. I have done writing about it, I have outlined it. I've even recorded this actual podcast twice already and decided to just like throw it all away. So right now it's I'm just gonna talk to you. I do have a little bit of an outline, and I Do not apologize ahead of time if I go off into tangents, because this is gonna be one of those episodes like when I was on my road trip and I talked to you and it's just gonna be me and you. I even thought about like moving my whole rig out to my living room and sitting on the couch with my big furry blanket because it just kind of felt like that was the feeling I wanted to come across with. But I digress. Hi, this is Bella with Bella in your business, the 270th episode. I'm sorry, not 270, 470th episode. What? I think it's a good place to start because I have had a lot of evolution as I hope that you have two in your life. And I hope that your evolution has or I want to encourage your evolution, your future evolution to be self-led instead of things are happening to me. I believe that we can make things happen for ourselves, but that we have to have a conscious mind. in order to do it and not be stuck in groundhog day every single day doing the same thing over and over. Cause that's just the way that we do it, right? Like I believe that we all need to think about our reactions and and our responses. And that there's Rumi said that there's power between what happens and our response. There's that that little window there. And the more we can create that, we have more of an opportunity to think. And that's a really great way to set up everything I'm about to tell you today. Bella (02:07.602) back in 2022, I'm gonna go all the way back there. I feel like I was like four different versions of myself. But I was I maybe I should start 2018. I started the mastermind and I started better marketing with Bella. Okay. And what we did is in the mastermind, it was the first mastermind ever and in our industry. And the way it was set was that what it was back then is not what it is today. and it's by design because we've evolved and things have changed. And I don't believe in teaching the same thing over and over and over again. I believe in evolving with the world and how people buy and how people receive information and just everything. Marketing with Bella has been evolving. It first started where we only had six people and we would create things for them that we don't necessarily we didn't create years later because Social media changed. And so we started providing videos and we started doing all this other stuff. And then social media keeps changing. And so the program kept changing. and so all of this change is necessary a necessity because things that worked a couple of years ago aren't gonna work now, and that's even more so. It's like how agile, like how much can you bend and ebb and flow to things? But you have to be seeing that this stuff is happening. So back in 2022, the crack happened. My team was already secretly using what we called Jarvis, which it was to help us write some blogs and scripts and things. and by the end of 2022, the November 2022, the last week, it was like Thanksgiving-ish. Chat GPT came online. And I was one of the first million people to join. At the recording of June 8th today, they announced last week that there's now one billion with a B. Beef or boy, people using Chat GPT. And it is historically the fastest growing app software ever. And it has taken on like a firestorm. As you probably know, you probably have a login for it. and so that happened, and it was like, ooh, what's this nice new shiny thing? You know, there's so many people making predictions, and but the predictions were still, you know, the predictions are the predictions, but the timeline. Bella (04:32.29) was the hard part to nail in. And I'm listening to all these amazing thought leaders. And that was when I started listening to podcasts and following people way smarter than me and following these tech companies and paying attention to their announcements and the commentary that comes from it. And in 2023 in the mastermind, I had Dustin who created Magi. I knew Dustin from all of my social media marketing days and speaking on stages around the world because he too Was a marketer who would start like lots of different companies. And finally, you know, Magi comes together fast forward to today in 2026. It's wildly amazing and helps tons of people. what Magi does is it takes all the LLMs, put it under one roof. So you only have one login, one password, and one price. Instead of paying $20 for like five different things, it's one. and I had him come into the mastermind to talk to us about AI because he was engulfed

Across continents and centuries outsider poets have made a bold stand for the life of the body, contemplative ecstasy, sexual liberation, and the sacredness of nature, often in the face of religious and political repression. From Rajasthan to New York, Ancient Persia to London, and Swansea in Wales to Balkh in Afghanistan, ecstatic poets have broken taboos around sex, death, gender, social caste, and religious dogma. In a follow-up to last week's interview with Britt Hartley of No-Nonsense Spirituality, Julian reflects on how poetry has always lit up his inner world as a form of embodied spirituality that transcends religious frameworks or supernatural metaphysics. He shares favorite pieces that span 800 years and three continents from Mirabai, Walt Whitman, Mary Oliver, Kabir, David Whyte, Dylan Thomas, and Rumi, along with stories from their lives, and his own.
