Podcasts about seeking clarity

Have you ever noticed how the people who achieve remarkable things all share one invisible quality? They possess absolute clarity about what they truly desire. While others drift through life accepting whatever comes their way, these reality creators move with purpose, magnetizing their desires with laser precision. What if I told you that clarity isn't something you find – it's something you activate? Right now, as you go about your day, listening to my voice, the part of your mind that already knows exactly what you want is beginning to awaken. You've always had this knowledge within you, but perhaps it's been clouded by the noise of everyday life, by other people's expectations, or by your own limiting beliefs. In the next few minutes, we're going to activate the clarity that already exists inside you. Not through forced visualization or by closing your eyes and trying to see something that isn't there – but through a natural awakening of what you already know at the deepest level of your being. This activation is different. You'll feel energy shifting as we speak. You'll notice thoughts crystallizing with surprising ease. And you'll walk away with a level of certainty that makes reality creation almost effortless.

Can an employer simply dismiss an employee once they have reached the normal or agreed age or retirement? What needs to happen should an employer decide to keep their employee on for a little bit longer? There were recently two related cases which came before the Constitutional Court, but there was no absolute consensus on the matter given that there were three separate judgements. Lester Kiewit speaks to Advocate Tertius Wessels, Managing Director at Strata G Labour Solutions, to discuss how legal pitfalls in the workplace can be avoided when it comes to dealing with retirement age matters.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's time to get the show on the road after a long break, and boy a lot has happened since our last show in December. Our 2025 kick off will just be the three of us – Andrea, Joe and Tim – with the goal of trying to make sense of what's going on, which is not easy, because there's not a lot of clarity out there, even from the best voices globally. We're going to cover as much as we can, from the actions of Donald Trump to Elon Musk and DOGE, the Democrats apparent vapid response, the power behind the power, the ripping up of the normal world order and what it means, AI, Gaza, global aid and of course, climate change. There's a lot to discuss and this will definitely be a more freewheeling discussion than normal. One of the key issues that keeps coming to the fore as we try to grasp the enormity and complexity of the situation we are in – whether we are American or not – is a lack of imagination about what it all means and how big this really is. Where is it taking us? What should we expect? And how do we get our minds prepared, when the world is changing so dramatically? Lots to discuss and we'd love to have you with us. The Livestream kicks off at 3pm Singapore time, Friday 7th January 2025. Ask questions, challenge assumptions, give us your view. In fact, if you want, come and join us as a guest. The Know Show is a Livestream held every fortnight on Friday, where Andrea T Edwards, Tim Wade and Joe Augustin, and at least one special guest, review the news that's getting everyone's attention, as well as perhaps what requires our attention. We'll talk about what it means to us, the world and we hope to inspire great conversations on the news that matters in the world today. The Know Show is based on Andrea T Edwards Weekend Reads, which are published every Saturday on andreatedwards.com, and covers the planetary crisis, topical moments in the world, global politics and war, business and technology, social issues, and passion/humour/history.

Seeking Clarity and Simplicity in Life Petrina discussed the importance of seeking clarity and simplicity in various aspects of life, particularly in the context of setting New Year's resolutions and establishing new habits. She emphasized that unnecessary complexity can hinder understanding and hinder progress, while striving for simplicity and clarity can enable better comprehension and facilitate growth. She encouraged her audience to aim for clear and simple explanations, as this would enable others to build upon the information and share it with others.

They discuss biblical perspectives on rebuke and honor, the context of current controversies, and the implications of age and authority in faith discussions. The conversation emphasizes the importance of respect, wisdom, and understanding in addressing conflicts within the community. In this conversation, the hosts discuss the complexities of online criticism, particularly in relation to elders in the faith. They explore the importance of respect and the appropriate ways to engage with older figures, emphasizing the need for a measured approach when disagreements arise. The conversation also delves into biblical principles surrounding authority and respect, highlighting the significance of honoring those who are older and the dynamics of communication in various relationships. Takeaways The Bible encourages honoring older men in the faith. Memeing respected figures can be seen as a form of rebuke. Context matters when discussing controversies in faith. Age and authority should influence how we communicate. Mockery may not be the best response to perceived wrongs. Faithful service over the years should be acknowledged. Understanding the generational divide is crucial in discussions. Seeking clarity in conflicts can lead to better outcomes. Wisdom often resides with those who have more experience. Dialogue is essential for resolving misunderstandings. Online criticism should be approached with caution and respect. Humor can be a tool for critique, but it should not demean others. Respect for elders is a biblical principle that should guide interactions. Disagreements with elders require a careful and respectful approach. Understanding the perspective of older individuals can lead to better communication. It's important to consider the wisdom that comes with age. Younger individuals should be open to correction from their elders. The Bible provides guidelines for how to interact with authority figures. Maintaining a humble posture in discussions is crucial. The principle of honoring parents extends to all authority relationships.

In a serendipitous moment, Andrew Dunkley's passion for astronomy was sparked by a chance encounter with a telescope at a friend's house. Little did he know that a simple gaze through the lens would ignite a lifelong curiosity for the mysteries of the universe. As he delved into books, documentaries, and conversations with fellow enthusiasts, his thirst for cosmic knowledge only grew stronger. What cosmic wonders await those who seek to understand the stars and galaxies?In this episode, you will be able to:· Explore the fascinating world of galaxies' rotation curves and their intriguing variations. · Discover the hidden secrets of spiral arms visibility through the lens of infrared observations. · Understand how gravity bends space and its profound implications on the universe.· Uncover the crucial distinctions between dark matter and dark energy, unraveling cosmic mysteries."You can do anything in science fiction.' - Andrew DunkleyBending of Space due to GravityGravitational influence on the bending of space is a central concept in Einstein's theory of relativity. It proposes that the force of gravity resulting from an object's mass distorts space around it. This remarkable insight about the interplay between gravity and spacetime allows us to understand extraordinary phenomena, such as the distortion of star positions during an eclipse. This theory immensely enriches our understanding of the universe and shapes our perception of space and time.The resources mentioned in this episode are: · Visit spacenutspodcast.com to send in your own audio or text questions for the show.· Check out the AMA link on the website to submit your questions for the next episode. ·Click on the tab on the right-hand side of the homepage to send in your audio questions. · Listen to the Space Nuts podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, or your favorite podcast player. ·Stream on demand at bitesz.com to catch up on previous episodes. · The key moments in this episode are:00:00:00 - Thank you and break announcement 00:02:22 - Q&A Episode Introduction 00:08:01 - Understanding Gravity 00:11:14 - Theoretical Walk on a Neutron Star 00:16:46 - Clarification on Biochemical Processes 00:17:25 - RNA as the precursor to DNA and proteins 00:18:57 - Dark energy and dark matter web 00:22:17 - Universe's expansion and the role of dark energy 00:25:03 - White holes and dark matter 00:29:13 - Period of inflation and the speed of light 00:34:21 - The World Wide Web nickname 00:36:14 - Speed of light and space travel 00:37:22 - Counting stars in the Milky Way 00:43:16 - Planetary diversity and moon composition 00:47:22 - Tipler cylinder and time travel 00:51:37 - The spacecraft design and terraforming challenges 00:52:29 - Science fiction and John Birmingham's latest series 00:53:38 - The Super Dunk series and a request to the author 00:54:27 - Audience engagement and question submissions 00:55:23 - Conclusion and farewell Variation of Rotation CurvesThe variation of rotation curves is an intriguing aspect of galaxies that fascinates astronomers. It refers to the speed at which stars and other celestial objects move around the center of a galaxy, and how this speed impacts the overall shape and structure of the galaxy. This element of astrophysics provides critical insights into how galaxies evolve over time, contributing significantly to our understanding of the universe's dynamics.Infrared Observations and Spiral ArmsInfrared observations are pivotal to astronomy, allowing us to perceive celestial bodies and phenomena that remain concealed in other wavelengths. One interesting feature that can be detected in this way is the dust in spiral arms of galaxies. Observing these spirals in the infrared offers us enriching perspectives on the galaxy formation and evolution, as well as the intriguing role of shockwaves and dust in these processes.Bending of Space due to GravityGravitational influence on the bending of space is a central concept in Einstein's theory of relativity. It proposes that the force of gravity resulting from an object's mass distorts space around it.

This theory immensely enriches our understanding of the universe and shapes our perception of space and time.#AskanAstronomerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/show/space-nuts/support.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/2631155/advertisement

Can we navigate through life's changes with blind faith and courage? As we transit through the potent energy of the moon constellation, Vishaka, we learn how faith and fearlessness can help us forge ahead even when the path is blurry. We dive into the secrets of how the second emanation of Durga, the devotee of God, influences our mindset, healing, and understanding of suffering. Also, we take a look at the transformative effects of Vishaka and how they impact our mental fortitude during pivotal moments in life. This week we also celebrate Navaratri, the nine nights dedicated to the goddess, and discuss the significance of the second form of Goddess Durga, in our spiritual journey.

Hello from the East Bay! It's just Jay this week, chatting with friend of the pod Darrell Owens, a Berkeley-based housing expert. We discuss a new study from the Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative at UCSF on the causes and consequences of homelessness in California. In this episode, we ask:  Can the revelations in this study—or any new evidence, for that matter—finally move the needle on reducing homelessness? How do “Housing First” advocates address the desire for immediate solutions to a crisis that has been decades in the making? Why are people who are older, disabled, and from certain racial and ethnic groups so vastly overrepresented among the homeless population? For more, see: * The full UCSF study, Toward a New Understanding: The California Statewide Study of People Experiencing Homelessness * Our previous episode with Darrell, from July 2021: The Fight to End Single Family Zoning and the YIMBY/NIMBY/PHIMBY War* The book Homelessness Is a Housing Problem, by Gregg Colburn and Clayton Page Aldern * California YIMBY's December 2022 report on Housing First policies Thanks for listening!

Today I want to talk with you about Habits of High Performance...but first, let me give you the Quote of the Day....   QUOTE OF THE DAY...Brendon Burchards Book, "Clarity is the child of careful thought and mindful experimentation".   Clarity is something I think many of us want, but few of us put the time into finding...   Do you ever have days where you wish you had better direction... ...where you wonder if you are on the right path... ...when you ask yourself if you are chasing the right dreams... Maybe you just sometime feel confused as to why circumstances, events or people in your life continue to cause anxiety and stress.   Ultimately, when we are faced with decisions, difficult circumstances and even critical choices in our lives.... ...this is when the need for CLARITY becomes so important.   In his book High Performance Habits, Brendon talks about one of the 1st and fundamental priorities and CHARACTERISTICS of high performers is CLARITY.   If you are struggling with direction, uncertainty, difficulty making decision...etc...then its highly possible you lack CLARITY in your life. So lets talk about clarity today and strategies for helping you gain more.   FIRST: Clarity isn't something you HAVE...Its something you GENERATE. You generate it by asking great questions...just like your thoughts... ...who are you, what do you want, how will you get there....get the point?   SECOND, Clarity will have a direct impact on your self esteem...positive and negative.   The goal is to create unambiguous and challenging goals in order to increase self esteem and performance. You know who you are...You know what you want... know how you will get it?   Brendon's book talks about 3 things: 1-Envision the Future 4 2-Determine the Feelings you are after 3-Determine what's Meaningful   The Future Four- High Performers get clear on what they want for themselves, their social world, their skills and their service to others.   I will let you read for yourself, but the key here is to determine (clearly and precisely) what you want each of these areas to manifest in your life. For example, I have set descriptors like... Self: motivation, inspiration, confidence Social: caring, present, inspiring Skills...Service...etc. You get the point. You must get clear.   You also need to determine what feelings you want. My mentor Robert Stuberg always used to have me and other go through a Values Exercise. (peace, happiness, love, recognition, success) Sooner later we all recognize that it is NOT "things" that we want. It is the "feelings" that things will give us in our lives.   Finally, Brendon talks about developing CLARITY by determining what's meaningful in your life. More importantly, he asked over 1300 individual high performers how they determined what was "meaningful". Here is what they said: Enthusiasm- the projects they have passion around Connection- to others outside themselves Satisfaction- passion+growth+contribution Coherence- does the story of your life make sense?   Add these 4 things together to create a sense of strong MEANING...which leads to CLARITY.   So, lets review....Clarity (for high performance high achievers) is created by... -envisioning future self, social, skills -finding the feelings you truly want -determining what has meaning in your life   I hope that this topic helps you to create CLARITY in your life and business. I highly encourage you to check out the book, and lets work on be INTENTIONAL with your life this week. After all, a life worth living is a life worth planning and being intentional with.   Thanks for listening. Have an amazing day.   George Wright III

The opposition is demanding more information from the Speaker to explain why the former Minister Meka Whaitiri has not been expelled from Parliament over her shock defection to the Maori Party. Adrian Rurawhe has ruled she can remain as an independent MP despite expectations her resignation from Labour would trigger the party-hopping legislation and her exit from the House. The Speaker doesn't think her actions meet the threshold but opposition MPs want to see for themselves saying he has to release all his communication with her. Political reporter Giles Dexter has the story.

As communicators we are always aware of making sure we are navigating our own inherent biases. The same is true as we counsel our clients. But in today's society there is whole new layer where biases are being systematized and institutionalized. What does this mean for us as communicators? How to we navigate these tricky waters while also honoring the nuance necessary for clear communication? We discuss this weighty topic in today's episode.   Read the Washington Post Op-ed referenced in today's episode.   Transcript Michelle Kane (00:02): Thank you for joining us for this episode of That Solo Life, the podcast for PR pros and marketers who work for themselves, people like me, Michelle Kane, with VoiceMatters, and my ever steady co-host Karen Swim of Solo PR Pro. Hi Karen, how are you today? Karen Swim (00:17): I'm great, Michelle. How are you doing? Michelle Kane (00:19): Hi. I'm doing well, doing well. Spring has sprung and brought all the pollen with it, so apologies for any congestion you may hear, but that's okay, . Karen Swim (00:31): Yeah, Michelle Kane (00:31): It's worth it for the beauty . So yeah, I'm doing well and I'm excited about today's topic. It's pretty juicy, so we're going to try and keep it to our usual compact nugget as our audience can listen as they go about their day, we jokingly refer to ourselves as your walking partners, so yes. As you're on your daily walk, here we go. We're going to talk about institutional bias. Karen Swim (00:59): Yeah. Michelle Kane (01:00): I said it was juicy . Karen Swim (01:03): That's a weighty topic. I mean, we could, this is one of those topics that I love for us to be in a room together and just have like rich discussions about it. We really want to just talk about some of the things that we're seeing and reading, and at least put it on your mind to be thinking through, and having those discussions with other solos and industry leaders and clients, and really think about what this means for the future. Michelle Kane (01:33): Because, at the center of it, it speaks to what is the general truth, right? What are those things we can all agree on as a society and as our society continues to be polarized, how that can be really damaging in the short and long run. And the beauty of it is, as communicators, we can have a seat at this table, and yet again, help guide our clients, people in our sphere through these conversations. I know, Karen, you had brought up, there was an article on the Washington Post about, was it a Stanford law student? I think? Karen Swim (02:19): Yeah, so there were two things recently that in reading through them, really drove this home to me of the impact and the potential emerging trends. So one was this Washington Post article. It was an opinion piece from a Stanford law student that talked about how the very charged, polarized political environment has infiltrated the campus. And if you go to the Washington Post, there are actually several articles about this in law schools from another columnist as well. But this particular piece was again, an opinion. And this woman talked about how people are being forced into us versus them very much like the rest of the world. But where it got really interesting for me was how she described that when if you were of a certain political party, people expected you to be an attorney. And if you said that you wanted to be a prosecutor, you were bullied for it, ostracized, as this particular group saw this as evil. And conversely, on the other side of the political party, on the other side of the aisle, if you wanted to be an attorney, it labeled you in a particular ilk. So the fact that bias could be impacting choice of profession is a very scary thing, particularly when we're talking about our justice system, because I believe that this is just a mirror of other institutions in our society. So, at the educational level, if we're creating bias and that bias is leading people to lean in a particular direction for how they would use their skillset in their careers, that's problematic because we need diversity of thought in every area. And the second thing that really brought this home was Twitter's code being released. And we knew that that was coming. They announced that they were going to open up the code and reading takes from people that read through the code. I have not read through the code myself. So let me say that I can read code. I'm not an expert in it, but I do know how to read code. I haven't read it myself, but it really brought out and articulated the bias that's written into the code. Now, Twitter is not alone in this. We know, and we've talked about this for years, we've talked about bias and AI, we've talked about bias and algorithms. And so all of this led us to really start to think very deeply about, as communicators, we know that we already have to work to ensure that we are navigating our own inherent biases, and that we are ensuring that clients aren't operating with biases. But now we have this whole new layer where biases being systematized and institutionalized. And so what does that mean for us as communicators? How do we navigate these tricky new waters to be able to still communicate effectively to be able to articulate points, but to be nuanced so that we are not further amplifying the, the, Michelle Kane (05:59): the noise Karen Swim (06:01): the noise, the polarization. Yes. That's really taken hold. Michelle Kane (06:05): Yeah. And I think the first step is to be cognizant that it is taking hold in such a way, because especially as you said in the justice system, that's highly disturbing. I think, I hope it's not a completely lost art that we can assume a certain point of view in our work that is separate from whatever personal thoughts we may have. And I'm not talking about things that are just inherently right versus wrong. I mean, there are some things that are no, that should never be right, Karen Swim (06:43): , yes. Michelle Kane (06:44): But just in personal preferences or, do you call it purity tests of, well, if I disagree with this, you know, institution or group about this point, then I must act in this major way in every aspect of my life. I see that at the local level of, well, this organization is taking money to do this private thing, and I am now not going to go there anymore. And I'm thinking, at the cost of what you're going to damage the total economic development of a region, because of taking such a wide view, we really need to maintain nuance. And nuance has been slowly chipped away at for quite some time. I mean, I'm thinking even back to late nineties, early two thousands. And maybe even before that when I wasn't paying as much attention as I should have. And we really need to keep it front of mind and, and really be the bearers of how we need to think things through. Karen Swim (07:51): Yes. And you know, I love language, I write, and part of my personal writing is I like to play with language, but what's been really apparent, and you're right, the shift is not overnight. I know that we love to tie this to a certain timeframe in our political history, but this has not been an overnight switch. We have always had this ability to weaponize language. And for as far back as man has existed, I mean, what is bullying? You know, it's really, sometimes the bullying is not physical. It's really verbal bullying. And so we have this ability to do this as human beings. And if you are working in an arena that is political, obviously you're going to adopt the language of your followers to speak to them. But I find we tend to be very aggressive these days. And so there are now these code words that will signal whether you are progressive or liberal, conservative, whether you're a Democrat or a Republican. And I think that's awful because I truly, in my heart of heart believes, and it's funny, the Stanford law school op-ed said the same thing, that, most people are not us or them on campus. They're somewhere in that middle. And I believe that that's most of the country, but many people feel bullied into staying silent or trying to navigate these tricky waters so that they're not labeled either way. For many of us if you work with a technology company, you're B2B, you're B2C, you don't really care what political party people are. And you're not trying to speak to politics, you're trying to speak to your target audience, which comprises both sides of the aisle. One of the easiest things that you can do, obviously, is to not use those trigger words. I find it very troubling that now we have to restrict our language because some groups have adopted this as their mantras, their code words to signal that we're one of you. And I don't know how this mob mentality has just really taken over in such a negative and toxic way. But as communicators, we can't fall prey to it. Even if we belong to one of these parties, even if we are all in on that party, we cannot let that impact the work that we do. Michelle Kane (10:50): A hundred percent. And, as communicators, I know for me, I am always -- from the beginning of when I started out in this profession -- always conscious of not just how words communicate, but everything you present. Everything communicates. And, it's heightened now, and to your point as well, most businesses I know, they want to serve everybody. Is your money green? Okay. Yeah. Karen Swim (11:27): And, not to be confused with being values based because… Michelle Kane (11:32): Correct. Karen Swim (11:34): …I advocate for companies having a very clear North Star, for having a mission and a vision that shows up in every single part of the organization and is reinforced. So this is not being values-based. We're talking about being divisive and polarizing on purpose, unless that is your mission. And there are companies that do very much have that mission, different story. But even in those instances, when you are mission driven and it's in the political arena, and you are a social justice organization, I'm always a fan of communicating with clarity and not communicating to divide. Because, and this is just my personal viewpoint and, and I'm going to just say that this is opinion, it's not fact. But I truly believe that when we communicate with clarity, and we're not communicating to divide people, that it actually is stronger for whatever we're trying to achieve. Because where change really happens is when human beings can truly communicate and discuss with one another. So when you set the table for not argument, but for thought and discussion, that's where you can really move the needle. And I think I've shared this story on this podcast before, and my apologies, I cannot remember what journalist wrote this, but he wrote about this whole phenomena, and he talked about when he was arguing with a cab driver in Israel and how they argued for like 30 minutes. And it was great because this was one-on-one discussion. They had different viewpoints, but at the end of the ride, they were able to shake hands and they both had learned something from the other and really come to an understanding of the other person's perspective. And each of them had, you know, changed their perspective slightly based on this discussion. But it was discussion. And so I think that if we can move away from inciting argument or simply communicating for agreement, communicating for validation, which is something very different for me. And that's a skillset, and that's something that as a communicator, you may be called to do again, depending on the purpose of the communication and who your client is. But it's not where I believe that we should live. We should want to not necessarily validate, because you need to be clear and have your point of view and be able, again, to articulate that. But is there room for people to go, “Huh, never thought about that,” or, “Wow, that's really interesting.” Discussion creates memorable moments, right? Telling those stories in a way that people can relate to makes them remember the brand that you're actually talking about, or remember the person, the spokesperson. Those are all things that are important to our profession. And I am so afraid, and the reason that we really wanted to address this today is I think that we really need to have our eyes wide open and to begin to fight back on this thing that is taking hold in our society. And it's getting deeper and deeper. And it just, it, it's frightening to me. It's frightening to me that one day we might see communicators who are only of one political party. Could that happen? Absolutely. It could. Because if we're educating people in a system that is being set up to create biases and to create us versus them, what does that mean for the future of every single profession on this earth? Does this mean that you now have to, will we see a future where if you have a certain set of belief systems politically, that you're going to have to seek out doctors who share that opinion because they're going to treat you differently? Michelle Kane (15:43): That's already happening, isn't it? Karen Swim (15:45): I was going to say, yep. We already have bias in our healthcare system that Yes, we do. I mean, it just, this goes on and on and on. And some of this is already happening, and we can't dismiss this as a DEI and B agenda because it's not, it's not political inclusivity. It's human beings getting back to humanity and understanding how to talk to people. Not at them. Michelle Kane (16:14): Right. And I think of the two pillars, purpose and intent, and I think we have to be laser focused as we craft our communications, as we discern what someone is communicating. What is their true purpose? What is their intent? Is it to be clear? Is it to be helpful? Is it to hopefully engage with a target audience? Or is it to create noise and argument, arguments and chaos. I have to bring the pop culture element into it. There was that scene with Michael Caine in Batman talking about the Joker. Some people just want to watch it all burn. And we have too much of that going on in our society. Too much of that rhetoric that is a lot of noise and it's a lot of grandstanding for personal gain. I think back to when Crossfire was still a thing and Jon Stewart was on and they wanted him to be the comedy guy, and, and he laid into both sides and said, we just want the truth. That's all we want. And yes. Are we going to have different viewpoints about what truth is? Sure. We all have different experiences, but I think if we're all cognizant that this does exist, that your experience may not be the same as someone else's, that doesn't mean that they are wrong. Karen Swim (17:46): Yes. Michelle Kane (17:47): Or that they're making it up. Karen Swim (17:48): Yes. Trust them. Yes. And this, to me, that bias can lead to judgment that's really unfair. And then you're writing off an entire swath of your audience that really could be valuable. And I hate to call it communicating to the middle, but really that's what it is. It's communicating to the middle. There's such beauty in that because being able to create environments and create communications that people can actually share and discuss regardless of where they fall on that spectrum is at the heart of human community. And we don't want to stay stuck in that silo, and we don't want to create silos. We want to invite people who think differently to show up, to participate, to engage, because we all are better when we're exposed to things that are a little bit different than maybe the way that we think, or even the way that we believe. And so, I don't ever fear, I mean, it's, sometimes I'll see that, and I've been exposed to this where people are like, “How could you talk to these people?” Uh, because they're people. And because I learn something and because I see every human being as a human being, period. That's it. Do I see color? Of course I do, because I see the person. And so I see the things that this person represents, whether it's their ability or their race, their height, I see it all, but they're a human being, right? And so I operate from that perspective, and I think that we need to really take a step back and get back to the basics. But here's the great thing, once again, my public relations heroes. I am just continually proud to be in this job that is super challenging. Let's face it, we have a very challenging job. We might not be rocket scientists and we might not have literal life and death at our fingertips most of the time. But our jobs are stressful, they're complex, they're needed, and we are just, we sit in a seat that brings with it so much honor, because day after day, I always think, my God, we truly have the opportunity to bring back humanity. We have this powerful gift of communication that cuts across every human experience. And I'm so proud of us who remain in this job, who do what we do, unsung most of the time. Sometimes we don't even get a thank you for the work that we do, but Michelle and I want you to know that we see you.  We are so honored to be a part of you and to be a part of this community. And we think that you're rock stars. And I think, you know, it might sound super aspirational, but… Michelle Kane (21:07): Go for it. Karen Swim (21:08): …we have the opportunity to change the world. I'm sorry, but Michelle Kane (21:11): Oh no, a hundred percent. And along with what you're saying, it is our privilege to help communicate the value of each and every human being. Now, I know there are some dark corners of our industry that don't, that's okay. They can do their thing. But we're lucky we get to tell people's stories. We get to tell the stories of companies and organizations and individuals that are all trying to make this a better place. Karen Swim (21:41): Yes. Michelle Kane (21:42): Which I know - bring out the flowers and the angels singing. Karen Swim (21:47): We help clients to connect to their customers and helping them to make money is not just a financial transaction, it's necessary. When we take that further, we are directly responsible for building things that feed families. The work that we do keeps people employed, it keeps commerce going. All of these things are necessary. But we also get the privilege of sitting back and thinking, wow, look at how I was so essential in communicating this client's story. And sometimes those stories are so powerful. When we do customer case studies or we're sharing things on behalf of nonprofits, you know that it's work that really speaks to the heart. But even if you're a B2B-er, like me, there's still so much to celebrate about how we help companies to see the world too. We are their eyes and their ears because we are not stuck in a corporate office looking at it through just the brand perspective. We bring in that broader perspective and help them see from a larger worldview. Michelle Kane (23:05): A way and a view that they might not even think of because they're focused on what they do. And I say that time and time again to clients that are trying to do this kind of work that we do on their own. It's like, no, you're too close to it. This is not your lane. I don't do your job . Speaking to many of us in the middle, I think it's that we see life rolling along. Everything's fine. We don't need to speak up. Sometimes, you do. Just to say, hey, you know, can we not have this layer of crazy going on? That would be super nice. The clouds, the clouds of chaos. Could they please disperse? Karen Swim (23:53): Here, here! You know, I have learned to coexist with them. Like, oh, hey, Michelle Kane (23:58): . Oh, there you are. Have fun with that. Yes. Karen Swim (24:03): Well, Michelle Kane (24:04): We hope this has been a valuable bit of time to listen to us go on about this topic. It's an important topic and it is something we need to always be vigilant in keeping our eyes open. And we hope you too are always seeking ways to expand your world. And if you do, please do share this around. We value that if you share this and also subscribe and tell everybody about this episode. And until next time, thanks for joining us on That Solo Life.

***Content Warning: Mentions of Sexual Abuse***...How can you change the moment in the moment? We know what we don't want to be…. but what do we want to be?What else can you listen for?...John shares his practice for unfreezing yourself when someone kills your imagination; the things he has learned from those he works with, including the resoluteness of the human spirit and experiencing real awe; and how he learned to be less certain and seek clarity instead. Abbie and John discuss making therapy available to everyone, making the kind of therapy the client wants, and making up words (because all words are made up anyway) to better reflect our experiences. Finally, John explains finding a willingness to understand and being deliberate in every interaction and what it means to “Listen to Speak” and “Speak to Listen.”...Stories Lived.

Seeking clarity for life? In the episode, Chris continues his conversation about “being in the hallway” or being in that in-between place of indecision caused by a loss of job, change of relationship, health challenge, or other life experience.Chris explores Ellen Debenport's book, “Hell in the Hallway, Light at the Door,” and notes her definition that “prayer is focused thought that moves energy.” When we know that spirit is always speaking to us, we can set a clear intention and pray with the intent to “reveal what needs to be revealed and heal what needs to be healed.”Chris reviews some of Ellen's guidance tips on being in the hallway, including not skipping the grieving, expecting delays, accepting where you are, taking responsibility, being willing to forgive and seeing the situation or person differently, and asking others to hold the space for you.Ask yourself, what is in this situation for me?

I regularly get questions from Christian women who quietly wonder if we have a skeleton in our closet. Does Christianity want to keep us down? Is the Bible good for women? Does God value women? On this episode of All Things we're taking a deep dive into all these questions with theologian and author Wendy Alsup. We tackle such questions as what it means to be created a helper (ezer in the original Hebrew, in Genesis 2:20-21), the meaning of Genesis 3:16 (Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.), practical theology for women, forgiveness, and more. It's such a helpful conversation. You will learn a ton from Wendy!

“When you are praying to Jesus you are praying to someone who understands you because he is human and has experienced all things."What difference does it make to know that Jesus understands your suffering?//Matthew 21:1-11When they had come near Jerusalem and had reached Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, just say this, ‘The Lord needs them.' And he will send them immediately.” This took place to fulfill what had been spoken through the prophet, saying,“Tell the daughter of Zion,Look, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them; they brought the donkey and the colt, and put their cloaks on them, and he sat on them. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and that followed were shouting,“Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!Hosanna in the highest heaven!”When he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was in turmoil, asking, “Who is this?” The crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.”//This episode was written and recorded by Rev.

Rob believes that you should seek clarity on exactly what it is you want to achieve before setting out to achieve it. That clarity will reveal the detailed goals necessary to get there. Breaking those down into smaller, achievable goals builds the belief that you can actually get to the finish line. Over time, the goals become more ambitious, you achieve those, and the belief and confidence grow. Take the time to put energy into defining what it is you want out of life, be it a business, relationship, health, or something else. Only then will every decision you make have a clear purpose and move you forward. On this episode, Patrick MacCausland wants to change the way recycling works by starting a company he's calling HalfBack. When you buy bottles and cans, you're paying a few cents extra that you never get back by putting them on the curb. Patrick wants to pick them up for you, turn them in for refunds, and give you back 50% of the take. But in this early stage, there are a lot to figure out in the financial model, which Rob walks him through in detail. Tulsa Talley is the founder of Good Note, a tie dye apparel brand with a positive message.  He began making the clothes for himself, and then began selling them. While it's his full time gig now, he wants to know what 5 steps he should take next to take it up a notch, and Rob has those answers. Not only does Tulsa get great advice, but Rob hits him with a big surprise at the end! IG: @goodnoteco Learn more about this episode.
