Learn how to intentionally step into the next chapter of your life and business with clarity, courage, and self-trust. It's my birthday week—woohoo! And birthdays always make me reflect, so I'm getting a little deep in this episode. If you've been feeling like you're stuck or ready for change, this one's for you. Your next chapter is waiting, but you have to pick up the pen and write it. Let's talk about how to do that with clarity and purpose. Action Plan: - Reflect honestly on the past year: Look at what felt great, what didn't, and what lessons you're taking forward. - Get clear on what you want next: Define the next chapter based on your values, not outside expectations. - Release limiting stories: Identify and rewrite beliefs that are keeping you small or stuck. - Make small, consistent shifts: Don't wait for a big moment—daily intentional actions will build your new story. - Own your role as the author of your life: Trust yourself to write this next chapter—even if you feel uncertain.

Author and podcast host Ronit Plank, author of “Home is a Made-Up Place” and “When She Comes Back”, talks about her mom who left six year old Ronit and her four year old sister to move to India and follow guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, the center of Netflix documentary “Wild Wild Country”. In this incredible story of personal development, Ronit shares how she forgave her mother and created a strong relationship with her. We learn that while most people don't change, some do; that the way people treat you shows who they are - not who you are; the importance of expressing feelings in a vulnerable and constructive way; and to always use more herbs than the recipe calls for.

390 Good Service Goes Both Ways Anyone who has ever worked in customer service has at some point or another dealt with that one customer. You know the type, the huffy, irritable, “My issues are more important than your wellbeing and rules” that insist and demand everything, while demeaning you in the process. Unfortunately, these people will always exist, however what we can change is how we allow these types of interactions to affect us.  In today's episode Sarah Elkins tells the story of one of her own unruly customer moments, as well as how she chose to learn and grow from the experience in order to teach others.    Highlights Respect others. Especially those who are in a position of community service. Carrying your work home with you is not healthy for you. When you are rude and nasty to people, no one will be in your corner.    Quotes “But then it hit me, I should write a book about customer service. The point would be that good service goes both ways. If you want good customer service try being a good customer first.” “Because it's easier to provide good customer service when you are looking at it from the perspective of the customer.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, Can you think of a time when you weren't the best customer? When whatever was going on in your life erupted into a situation and you treated someone badly? Did you apologize? Can you think of a time when you had exceptional service? Did you tell the person or their manager? Did you write a rave review? What made the experience memorable?  We need kindness around us. You know the old saying that people are fighting battles we know nothing about. And when you're frustrated with a situation it's rarely the fault of the employee in front of you. And most of the time they can't fix it without engaging their supervisor. So start with kindness and develop an advocate for yourself. Let's do our best to bring our best to others.   And, as always, thank you for listening.  About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

Chronic stress can lead to a range of health issues, from anxiety and depression to heart disease and weakened immunity. By mastering stress, we can enhance our quality of life, improve our physical and mental health, and foster a more positive outlook. Here are some effective strategies and tips to help you manage stress and lead a healthier life.   1. Identify Your Stressors The first step in managing stress is to identify what triggers it. Keep a stress journal to track situations, events, or people that cause you stress. Note your reactions and any patterns that emerge. Understanding your stressors helps you develop strategies to avoid or mitigate them.   2. Practice Mindfulness and Meditation Mindfulness and meditation are powerful tools for reducing stress. These practices help you stay present, focus on your breath, and cultivate a sense of calm. Even just a few minutes of daily meditation can significantly lower stress levels and improve emotional regulation.   3. Exercise Regularly Physical activity is one of the most effective ways to combat stress. Exercise releases endorphins, which are natural mood lifters. Whether it's a brisk walk, a yoga session, or a workout at the gym, regular exercise can help reduce stress, improve sleep, and boost overall health.   4. Maintain a Healthy Diet What you eat can affect your stress levels. A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains provides the nutrients your body needs to function optimally. Avoid excessive caffeine and sugar, which can exacerbate stress and anxiety.   5. Get Enough Sleep Adequate sleep is crucial for stress management. Lack of sleep can increase stress levels and make it harder to cope with everyday challenges. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night. Establish a bedtime routine, create a comfortable sleep environment, and avoid screens before bed to improve sleep quality.   6. Learn to Say No Overcommitting yourself can lead to increased stress. Recognize your limits and learn to say no when necessary. Prioritize your tasks and delegate when possible. Setting boundaries helps you manage your time and energy more effectively.   7. Connect with Others Social support is vital for stress management. Spend time with family and friends, join a support group, or engage in community activities. Talking about your stressors with someone you trust can provide relief and new perspectives.   8. Practice Relaxation Techniques Incorporate relaxation techniques into your daily routine to manage stress. Deep breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, and visualization can help you relax and reduce stress. Find what works best for you and make it a regular practice.   9. Manage Your Time Effectively Time management is key to reducing stress. Plan your day, set realistic goals, and prioritize tasks. Break larger tasks into smaller, manageable steps and avoid procrastination. Effective time management helps you feel more in control and reduces stress.   10. Seek Professional Help If stress becomes overwhelming, don't hesitate to seek professional help. A therapist or counselor can provide support and teach coping strategies. Sometimes, just talking to a professional can provide relief and help you develop a plan to manage stress.   Mastering stress is essential for leading a healthier, happier life. By identifying your stressors, practicing mindfulness, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, learning to say no, connecting with others, practicing relaxation techniques, managing your time effectively, and seeking professional help when needed, you can reduce stress and improve your overall well-being. Remember, managing stress is a continuous process, and finding what works best for you is key to achieving lasting peace and balance.

It is International Self-Care month and this guest post by Peter Lantry, Managing Director for Equinix in Ireland is rather apt. An interesting conversation started at work recently as we looked at the number of photos we have stored on our phones. Some of us had tens of thousands - this was deemed reasonable. Others had folders containing hundreds of thousands. One person had a mere 400, which was generally viewed as mind-blowing. Regardless of how many photos we each had, one thing was common among us - even the person with 400 - they were unmanageable. There is a growing understanding that having excess, unmanaged digital files in any form can cause stress and anxiety. And, as a society which is increasingly focused on wellness, it is important - particularly during International Self-Care Month - that we consider our digital wellbeing as part of this. We are constantly streaming, texting, searching, gaming and everything in between, with more and more of our lives existing online. This data boom is evidenced by the numbers: the amount of data generated worldwide increased exponentially from 2 zettabytes (ZB) in 2010 to 64.2 ZB in 2020, and is forecast to almost treble to 181 ZB by 2025 (according to the World Economic Forum). In 2024, on average, globally, we sent 16 million texts every minute and 361 billion emails every day. Many have called data the most valuable resource in the world. But how many of us can say that about every single digital file we own and store? If our home is in a state of chaos, most of us take steps to make it more presentable and manageable. And we know the impact of that on our mental health. Is there anything quite like sitting down with a cup of tea looking at a tidy home? Yet, we seem more comfortable with letting the virtual mess pile up. I myself have personal and work email accounts totalling more than 30,000 emails extending back many years, while my personal cloud storage application is almost full, and my mobile phone is teeming with photos, videos, and apps - most of which I do not actively use or have any interest in. And I know I'm not the only one. This dormant data serves no other purpose than to take up space on our devices. Meanwhile, it is also having an impact on our own headspace. As the boundaries between our digital and physical lives continue to blur and we learn more about the impact of this delineation, experts say that storing too many items on our devices can cause anxiety and create a sense of being overwhelmed. As Sarah Reynolds, Ireland's premier organiser and founder of Organised Chaos, advises: make a list of target areas, sort everything into folders, delete or unsubscribe from what you don't need, and then carry out regular audits to ensure your devices are a stress-free zone. These tips will help us to begin our digital wellbeing journeys, which will be of increasing importance as technology continues to advance. Where those technologies take us remains to be seen, but one thing is for certain: we are going to keep producing bytes and bytes of information. We all know the value of data. For individuals, it can mean holding onto precious memories or creating libraries of files that support our lifestyles. At Equinix, data enables us to support healthcare diagnoses and innovations, assist in drug discovery, and drive innovation in quantum computing and sustainability. At its physical home in data centres, we are seeing how data is driving a healthier, more sustainable future; how it is connecting us to the people, things and solutions that matter to us. Today, we all want - and need - data. Dormant data, however, serves no one. By being proactive and regularly maintaining order in our digital lives, we can stay on top of our data and free up our minds to concentrate on other areas of our lives that need attention and nurturing. As we prepare for an even more digital future, let's ensure we embrace it with wellbeing See more stories here. More about Irish Tech ...

We all have the same 24 hours in a day. Why is it that one person can accomplish so much more than another in those 24 hours? Buddhism teaches that everything comes down to the state of our inner lives. If our life state is joyful and determined, even a mountain is scalable in a day.  Today's guest, Ayu Nakazaki, of Los Angeles, struggled with time management and tying her value to her achievements. Today, she tells the story of how she learned to understand time and self-worth from the perspective of Buddhism. Watch this episode on our YouTube Channel.Resources:The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, part 1, revised edition, pp 35–36.

Episode #127. This week, I'm joined by the multi-talented Amy Wilson—writer, actor, and co-host of the hit podcast What Fresh Hell. We talk about the invisible weight of being the “helpful one,” the push-pull of people-pleasing, and why creativity can't live in the leftovers of our time. Amy shares the real story behind her new book Happy to Help—a funny, thoughtful collection of essays for anyone who's ever stayed too long, tried too hard, or ignored their own needs. We dive into what happens when we try to fix everything—until we can't. We talk boundaries, burnout, and the power of giving yourself permission to write messy, live messy, and be okay with not having it all figured out. If you've been waiting for permission to make space for your creativity, your joy, and your voice—this is it. Take a walk, grab a puzzle, and let this conversation remind you: your time matters too.

Wellness expert and Ayurvedic practitioner Heather Grzych explores the idea that Ayurveda—far from being just a traditional health system—is actually a powerful tool for ushering in the next evolution of human consciousness.

The size zero trend... the circle of shame... the fad diets... Millennial women who grew up during the 2000s now have the lowest body confidence of any generation, and Rita Ora understands the pressure for women to look a certain way all too well.In this chat, brought to you by Dove, Fearne and Rita explore the factors that might have influenced their relationships with their bodies over time – from magazines, to catwalks, to so-called health hacks.As part of Dove's Self Esteem Project, Fearne and Rita chat about how to focus more on how your body feels, than how it looks. Millennial women are 1.3x more likely to define self-care as working on their appearance, so, how can we create self-care routines that really listen to what our individual bodies need to be strong and energised instead? Rita also opens up about how she manages the anxiety that comes from her internal chatter. If you want more support, Dove has created a journal full of body confidence exercises to help in building better awareness about our internalized beauty belief systems that might be more harmful to you than helpful.

Discover how to find peace and purpose by accepting the natural ebbs and flows of your creative and entrepreneurial journey. Do you ever feel like you're not doing enough or that you've somehow lost momentum?Especially mid-year, it's easy to question everything. But what if you're not doing anything wrong? What if you're just in a different season—and that season is asking for slowness, rest, or reflection instead of hustle? Let's talk about surrendering to the moment and finding peace in where we are. Action Plan: - Acknowledge that you're not a machine: Your value isn't tied to constant productivity—rest and reflection are essential parts of growth. - Stop resisting the season you're in: Fighting against slow periods adds unnecessary suffering—lean into them instead. - Name your current season: Give it a title like “Rest” or “Rebuilding” to honor and legitimize it. - Adjust your pace intentionally: Repurpose content, schedule breaks, and give yourself permission to pause without guilt. - Trust that unseen growth is happening: Just like roots grow underground, your quiet season is setting the stage for future blooms.
