Why do we rush to fill silence even when there's nothing more to say?Are you using filler words to hide your nerves or to prove you're still interesting?What are you trying to cover up with “like,” “um,” or oversharing?When was the last time you sat in silence with someone you love, or with yourself? In this solo episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi takes you deep into an unexpected topic: silence. What starts as a reflection on eliminating filler words like “um” and “like” quickly becomes an introspective and revealing look at the discomfort we feel when we’re quiet—and what we’re really trying to hide. She shares how learning to pause and breathe while speaking transformed her confidence, and how too often, we speak just to prove we belong. But what if true connection doesn't come from filling every gap—but from being fully present, even in stillness? Radhi also opens up about self-monitoring, the pressure to perform in conversations, and how she's learning to feel safe even when she has nothing to say. Plus: a sweet life update on her grandma’s health, nostalgia in London, and a birthday plan that’s pure joy. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why filler words can be subtle signs of insecurity and anxiety. How silence can feel threatening—but also freeing. Tools to eliminate filler words without losing your flow. Why slowing down your speech makes people actually listen. How to feel more seen and less performative in conversations. The emotional impact of always adjusting to fit in. What it means to be present with yourself—and others. This episode is a gentle invitation to stop performing and start feeling. Whether you’re a fast talker, a chronic over-sharer, or someone afraid of awkward silences—this one will meet you where you are.

Hey CEO- As a believer, you're not just marketing, you're doing ministry so WORDS are your WITNESS. That's why you want your copy to be in full alignment with your vocation, voice and values…And besides words, whether on your website, in your email or on social, are what make that first impression…but most business owners use the same phrases like- like next-level, high-quality, elevated experience. They're everywhere. They're vague. They're lifeless. They scream, “I'm the exact same as everyone else.”But you're not, so stop sounding like it.

Let us explore the often-overlooked power of silence, particularly in the context of introverted communication. Just how often so many around us assume that being verbose equates to value and influence; however, I share my perspective on how intentional quiet can actually be a profound demonstration of confidence. Introverts frequently face pressure to adopt extraverted behaviours just to blend in. It only leads to frustration and burnout. How about we celebrate our natural rhythm, often 'think, say, think' for we introverts, which I believe is the key.  I unpack strategies that help reclaim confidence through measured silence.    ** Key Points ** Embrace Natural Rhythm Power Through Silence Intentional Communication   #PowerOfSilence #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts   *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

Writing dialog can feel deceptively simple. After all, it's just people talking, right? But in far too many stories, characters are recapping the plot or revealing too much of what they're thinking or feeling. The dialogue is pure exposition, doing too much of the story's heavy lifting.  Great dialogue works on multiple levels, often saying more in what's unsaid than what is said. So in this episode, we're going to look at common pitfalls. And I'll show you how to write conversations that carry emotional weight, deepen your characters and spark new turns in your story.  So you can write believable, compelling dialogue. Episode Web PageWant to join a community of like-minded writers?

How to captivate an audience and make your message stick.Pitches and presentations don't fall flat because speakers aren't prepared. For Guy Kawasaki, it's because speakers miss the point. “If all you're trying to do is inform, you're not going to pull it off. You have to entertain your audience.”A renowned author, speaker, and entrepreneur, Kawasaki knows that the point of great storytelling isn't about information, it's about emotion. “Too many speakers think, ‘I need to inform my audience. I need to get my story across,'” he says. But throughout his career, formerly as Chief Evangelist at Apple and now co-founder of Canva, he's shown how successful communication is about captivating audiences, not conveying facts. “If you entertain people, you have a chance of informing them.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Kawasaki joins Matt Abrahams to explore practical strategies for building decks, structuring presentations, and tips for keeping audiences engaged.

In this episode, we're diving into two powerful shifts that will change everything:

Why it matters: Communication is broken. Messages are too long, unclear, and ignored. Smart Brevity is the fix. And Axios HQ's Emily Inverso is here to talk about it. The big picture: Smart Brevity isn't just a writing style—it's a movement reshaping how professionals, executives, and businesses communicate. With over 250,000 copies of the book in circulation and thousands of companies adopting the methodology, it's proving that less is more.What's next:How Smart Brevity started—and why it worksThe biggest mistakes communicators make (and how to fix them)Why AI won't replace Smart Brevity, but can enhance itWhat the future holds for concise, impactful communication

Some of you can't help yourselves. Most of us can't. We start talking in meetings and it's this endless wave of points and data and stories and reasons and explanations and side stories and jokes and then everyone is left wondering what in the world we even said. We need to change.

And in the concluding episode of the (ongoing) story of Princess Michael of Kent, we watch aghast as the Anglican and Catholic churches battle over the pending nuptials of Prince Michael and his sweet Marie-Christine, and then Alicia tries (and seems to largely fail) to explain to Stacie why British law and custom required Prince Michael of Kent to marry Princess Michael of Kent, and not Baroness Marie-Christine. Seems like Prince Michael's cousin Queen Elizabeth II could have done him - and his fiance - a solid here with some alternative title, but I guess not. Then, we again watch aghast as Princess Michael of Kent unloads on the deceased Princess Diana (and the then-Prince of Wales, by proxy) and lobs some racist displays in the general direction of Meghan Markle. Why? It's just a matter of tradition, apparently. Yikes, this one is trashy. Listen ad-free at patreon.com/trashyroyalspodcast.

In today's podcast, we'll be talking with Long Island-based pediatrician and self-taught photographer Dr. Greg Gulbransen, whose newly released book Say Less documents the three years Gulbransen spent embedded with Malik, the paralyzed leader of a Crips' set in the Bronx. Gulbransen details his journey from wildlife and fashion photography to documenting the lives of at-risk members of the Bikes Up Guns Down club to his most recent (and most daunting) project: photographing members of a violent street gang. Gulbransen also touches on his years-long campaign to require auto makers to install rear-view cameras in all American-made cars, a personal crusade born of the tragic car accident involving his infant son. Guest: Dr. Greg Gulbransen Top shot © Dr. Greg Gulbransen Episode Timeline: 3:45: Dr. Greg's early medical training in the Bronx, and his experiences photographing at-risk kids from the Bikes Up Guns Down bike club.  13:26: The start of Dr. Greg's 3-year project photographing Malik, a gunshot victim and paralyzed leader of a Bronx Crips' set. 14:55: The complex relationship between Dr. Greg, Malik and his mother, which allowed him to operate in such a potentially dangerous environment.   19:23: Christmas with Malik and his family. 30:57: Dr. Greg talks best practices for administering Narcan, using informants to keep himself safe, and helping Malik stay out of prison. 44:48: Episode Break 45:46: Working with former LIFE magazine editor in chief Bill Shapiro to edit and plan his photo book. 49:22: Obtaining two sets of releases from Malik and other set members for all photos and text to appear in the book. 51:40: Dr. Greg discusses his copious notes while embedded, and details about capturing candid photos of set members and other neighborhood subjects. 54:50: Dr. Greg's traumatic yet successful campaign requiring the auto industry to install of rear-view cameras in all American cars. Guest Bio: Dr. Greg Gulbransen is a Long Island-based pediatric doctor, who has been making photographs since 2014. Following a tragic car accident involving his son in 2002, Gulbransen successfully campaigned to get the auto industry to install rear-view cameras in American cars. As a result, all new cars in the US must have rear-view cameras, leading to an immeasurable impact on the lives of Americans.  After starting out with wildlife pictures and editorial fashion work, Gulbransen transitioned to documenting the lives of unique individuals with interesting stories in an aim to preserve their legacies through photography. This work is often informed by a drive to highlight issues impacting American society, with a focus on young people.  Over the course of three years, Gulbransen photographed Malik, a set leader of the violent street gang, the Crips. In 2018, Malik was shot and paralyzed by a bullet from a rival gang. As a result, his world now centers around the small Bronx apartment where he's cared for by family and fellow gang members. This project was recently released by Gost Books as the monograph Say Less, Gulbransen's first book.  Stay Connected: Dr. Greg Gulbransen's Website: https://www.gulbransenphoto.com/ Dr. Greg Gulbransen's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greggulbransenpeds Word on the Street YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@superwariobro Dr. Greg Gulbransen's book Say Less: https://gostbooks.com/en-us/products/say-less
