What if the most powerful thing you could do right now is slow down? In a culture that glorifies hustle, constant connection, and doing more, slowing down can feel like a radical act. Yet it's often exactly what we need to gain clarity, reconnect with ourselves, and make choices that truly align – not just about work, but in how we take care of our whole selves. Cory Allen is an author, meditation teacher, and podcast host who reaches millions every day with his fresh perspective on what it means to feel clear and calm. He believes it's not about pushing harder, but about creating more space. We explore why hustle culture is so deeply ingrained, what true clarity feels like, and how slowing down allows us to tune into what matters most. In this episode, you'll learn: Why our culture makes us feel incomplete and always “behind” How slowing down actually makes you more effective and helps you thrive What it really means to cultivate inner stillness while staying engaged with life How tuning into what matters leads to deeper connection and happiness Why clarity doesn't happen all at once and how to create space for it If you're ready to step off the hamster wheel and find a clearer, calmer way forward, this conversation will give you permission – and practical inspiration – to live intentionally and with purpose.   Learn More about Cory Allen:The Clarity ProtocolWebsite: cory-allen.comInstagram: @heycoryallen Now Is the Way Brave New You   Learn More about Elise Museles:  Food Story: Rewrite the Way You, Eat, Think, and Live Website: elisemuseles.com Instagram: @elisemuseles Facebook: @elisemuseles

Today's poem is [since feeling is first] by E.E. Cummings.The Slowdown is currently taking a break. We'll be back on Monday, August 18 with episodes from our new host, Maggie Smith. This week, we're going back into the archive to revisit Ada Limón's time as host. In this episode, Ada writes… “I have a friend who will stare at something and say, “Now that's a poem.” A glove in the snow, a bird feather stuck in the fence post, a good meal. It feels like she is blurring the lines between what we think is a poem and what is poetic, between what is real life and the language we use to capture it. Today's poem, by the beloved poet E.E. Cummings, does that work of showing us the resounding “yes” to the poem—and also “yes” to the real, tangible, touchable, life.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

As we move through August, I want to talk about what I am calling "The In Between." The in between of pain/trauma/struggles and healing and truly moving through it all to get to the place of living the life you want. It is tricky because you are so used to our pain/trauma/struggles that you may not really know who you are without it.  Who are you without high levels of anxiety? Who are you without thinking about how you have been wronged? Who are you without the rumination and worry of your pain? The worry and rumination keep you tethered to your pain. Learning to move through it all takes time and practice. If you find yourself clinging to your pain, don't worry, it is actually a good sign if you can see that you do that.  As you reflect on your own journey, tune into this meditation and let your body relax and connect with your higher self. You have to slow down the noise of life to see if you are stuck in your old ways. They are familiar to you, so it makes sense that you cling. Even uncomfortable feels comfortable sometimes. It can feel very scary to set down this piece of you, the old you, the one that was so in her pain that she could see no way out, to the you that can see a way out, but your identity and stories and way of being, keep you locked into the only way of being you know. This in between is such a scary place to be. However, if you lean into trusting yourself, a whole new world will open up for you. Are you wiling to build your "trusting yourself" muscle? This is the place where all the magic happens.

Welcome, gorgeous souls, to Episode 392 of Aligned Abundance! ✨August is my sacred pause - the month I step away from the hustle to slow down, reflect, and realign with my deepest desires. It's in this spacious stillness that I find the clarity, focus, and magnetic energy that carries me powerfully through the rest of the year.In this episode, I'm sharing:Why slowing down is the secret to speeding up your manifestationsHow to use August's energy as a launchpad for quantum leapsMy personal August rituals for realignment, intention setting, and abundanceIf you're craving more focus, alignment, and flow or if you've been feeling the nudge to pause - this episode will inspire you to harness the magic of August as a catalyst for everything you're ready to call in.Because here's the truth - sometimes the fastest way forward is to stop, breathe, and let the universe meet you halfway.Resources mentioned in this episode:Join the Manifestation Membership-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Explore More Ways to Manifest Your Dream Life...

In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor Barbee shares an unexpected lesson from walking the golf course for the first time instead of riding in a cart. What started as a way to add endurance training to a round of golf turned into a deeper reflection on our obsession with speed—and why faster doesn't always mean better. Through parallels to NASCAR strategy, marathon training, and the power of presence, Baylor explains how simplifying your approach, immersing yourself in the moment, and resisting the urge to rush can help you perform better, enjoy life more, and actually get better results. Key Takeaways: Faster Isn't Always Better: Speed without strategy often leads to burnout or inefficiency. Simplify Your Approach: The shortest path to results is often the most straightforward. Be Present Where You Are: Stop thinking about the next task and fully engage with the one in front of you. Immersion Improves Performance: When you're fully in the moment, you notice details and make better decisions. Efficiency Beats Constant Grind: Focus on being effective with your time, not just filling it with activity. Notable Quotes: “Sometimes what seems faster is just that—it only seems that way.” “The shortest distance between two points is a straight line—simplify your life.” “If you live in a constant state of tomorrow, you'll never actually be in your life today.” “Have your feet where you are. Be where you are.”

In a culture that glorifies busyness and distraction, slowing down is countercultural—but it might just be essential for your soul. In this episode, reflect on Psalm 46:10: “Be still and know that I am God,” and let it echo through the lens of Philippians 4:4–9. St. Paul calls us to “rejoice in the Lord always,” to “let [our] reasonableness be known to everyone,” and to “not be anxious about anything.” How? By turning everything—our stress, our schedules, our restlessness—into prayer. “Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just… think about these things.” • Why hurry is a spiritual threat • How the peace of God “which surpasses all understanding” can guard your heart and mind • Simple, daily practices for reclaiming silence, prayer, and presence This isn't about escaping the world—it's about waking up to the presence of God in the middle of it.

Scientists tracked 829 people for 20 years and discovered that one “embarrassingly named” nutrient, Spermidine, reduced death rates by nearly 40%. This polyamine doesn't just slow aging, it literally stabilises your DNA and activates cellular repair pathways that tell your cells when to grow, heal, and clean house. You can get therapeutic levels from shitake mushrooms, wheat germ, or fermented foods like kimchi, basically turning your dinner plate into an anti-aging protocol.  Join the Ultimate Human VIP community for Gary Brecka's proven wellness protocols! https://bit.ly/4ai0Xwg Thank you to our partners H2TABS: “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4hMNdgg BODYHEALTH: “ULTIMATE20” FOR 20% OFF: http://bit.ly/4e5IjsV BAJA GOLD: "ULTIMATE10" FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/3WSBqUa EIGHT SLEEP: SAVE $350 ON THE POD 4 ULTRA WITH CODE “GARY”: https://bit.ly/3WkLd6E COLD LIFE: THE ULTIMATE HUMAN PLUNGE: https://bit.ly/4eULUKp WHOOP: JOIN AND GET 1 FREE MONTH!: https://bit.ly/3VQ0nzW MASA CHIPS: 20% OFF FIRST ORDER: https://bit.ly/40LVY4y VANDY: “ULTIMATE20” FOR 20% OFF: https://bit.ly/49Qr7WE A-GAME: “ULTIMATE15” FOR 15% OFF: http://bit.ly/4kek1ij CARAWAY: “ULTIMATE” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/3Q1VmkC HEALF: 10% OFF YOUR ORDER: https://bit.ly/41HJg6S BIOPTIMIZERS: “ULTIMATE” FOR 15% OFF: https://bit.ly/4inFfd7 RHO NUTRITION: “ULTIMATE15” FOR 15% OFF: https://bit.ly/44fFza0 GOPUFF: GET YOUR FAVORITE SNACK!: https://bit.ly/4obIFDC GENETIC TEST: ⁠https://bit.ly/3Yg1Uk9 Watch  the “Ultimate Human Podcast” every Tuesday & Thursday at 9AM EST: YouTube: https://bit.ly/3RPQYX8 Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3RQftU0 Connect with Gary Brecka Instagram: https://bit.ly/3RPpnFs TikTok: https://bit.ly/4coJ8fo X: https://bit.ly/3Opc8tf Facebook: https://bit.ly/464VA1H LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4hH7Ri2 Website: https://bit.ly/4eLDbdU Merch: https://bit.ly/4aBpOM1 Newsletter: https://bit.ly/47ejrws Ask Gary: https://bit.ly/3PEAJuG Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:54 Scientific Studies on the Impact of Spermidine on Human Lifespans 02:14 What is Spermidine? 04:15 American Diets are Low in Spermidine-Rich Foods 05:50 Intake of Foods High in Spermidine 07:10 Spermidine as One of the Most Promising Anti-Aging Nutrients The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

This month's Bread Winner Podcast episode is one of my favorite types of episodes—the month in review. These monthly check-ins give me space to reflect on what went well, what didn't, and where I want to go next in both my sourdough microbakery and life. July was intentionally lighter on the baking and heavier on family time, and honestly, it was just what I needed. I'm sharing how scaling back to two markets this month gave me the margin to be present with family, travel, and celebrate our anniversary—without guilt or burnout.But this episode isn't just a personal update. I'm also bringing you behind the scenes on market performance, product tweaks (including a new way I tested English muffins), and the exciting, official announcement of my new bakery space. If you're dreaming of growing your own bakery or just need a dose of encouragement, this one's for you.Resources: Join my email newsletter here: https://carolinebower.myflodesk.com/newsletter Join the Inner Circle Waitlist here: https://carolinebower.myflodesk.com/innercirclewaitlistJoin the Bread Winner Network: www.carolinebower.com/bwnetworkFollow me on Instagram for more microbakery tips: @carolinebower_sourdoughFind links to all of my sourdough microbakery favorites including packaging, pans, and more! www.carolinebower.com/linksDownload the FREE Guide and Checklist, Your First Steps to a Successful In-Home Bakery at https://www.carolinebower.com/checklist to begin building YOUR thriving microbakery!

Today's poem is Thanks by W.S. Merwin.The Slowdown is currently taking a break. We'll be back soon with new episodes from a new host. This week, we're going back into the archive to revisit Tracy K. Smith's time as host. Today's episode was originally released on December 18, 2019. In this episode, Tracy writes… “It takes a wise and gifted poet to create a panoramic portrait of life that allows guilt and anger and shame to occupy the very same space as gratitude. I believe the late W.S. Merwin was such a poet. Reading his poem, “Thanks,” takes courage, because it insists upon a fierce form of moral reckoning.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

Today, we're thrilled to share that the new host of The Slowdown is Maggie Smith. We'll be back in your feeds with new episodes on August 18th. Poetry is one of the greatest tools we have to wield our own attention. To consider our own lives and the lives of others. To help us live creatively and compassionately. To use that attention to lean into wonder, and joy, and truth, and to find hope. To keep hoping. The Slowdown was launched nearly seven years ago to find a haven of calm in the middle of this constant storm. Based on the simple idea that reflecting on a poem, every weekday, can connect us to our inner world and the world around us. And hundreds of episodes later, we stay committed to this idea.

Send us a textWelcome to Season 10 of Conversations with Bizzy! Can you believe it?! I'm so excited to be back, and I'm kicking things off with something I struggle with every single day: patience.In this episode, I'm sharing what it's like to sit in the waiting — when you don't have the answers, when you're stuck in the unknown, and when you just want to move forward already. I open up about my own journey with slowing down, trusting the process, and how tools like prayer, journaling, and meditation keep me grounded (most days!).Whether you're walking through recovery, starting something new, or just feeling overwhelmed with life — I hope this episode reminds you that you're not alone. We're in this together.

This is a Fan Fav episode. The Body Shop launched a global report this year that revealed 60% of women wish they had more respect for themselves. This study is shining light on a self-love crisis. Sexuality, economic status, age, and time on social media were all factors that seem to impact how people felt about themselves and their ability to love themselves. In this episode, we have 7 powerful women who understand the pain of being in a mental space that doesn't make you feel confident or much like a badass. The throughline here seems to be that self love requires you to take the time to get to know yourself. So, in the next 35 minutes, take notes and think through areas you can start to remove the barriers in place preventing you from loving yourself. Where are you being most unkind to yourself? Where does self-doubt seem to always show up? It's time to create an unbreakable relationship with yourself, and this is how… Original air date: 12-22-21 SHOW NOTES: Tip #1 | Spend Time with Yourself, Radhi finds herself through meditation [0:30] Tip #2 | Challenge Yourself, Roxy has loving dialogue and a journal for challenges [4:41] Tip #3 | Accept Yourself As Your Are, Cynthia says start with knowing who you are [11:30] Tip #4 | Know Who You Are, Patrice anchored to her true self not outward situations [17:42] Tip #5 | Treat Yourself How Like Your Best Friend, Najwa on making yourself feel heard [23:43] Tip #6 | Humbly Brag About Yourself, Daniele says start bragging on your achievements [25:49] Tip #7 | Slow Down, Mel takes pause to be with herself face to face in the mirror [30:07] CHECK OUT OUR SPONSORS Vital Proteins: Get 20% off by going to https://www.vitalproteins.com and entering promo code WOI at check out.  SleepMe: Visit https://sleep.me/woi to get your Chilipad and save 20% with code WOI.

Welcome to my Summer Throwback Playlist—a handpicked collection of the most downloaded episodes of the podcast. These are listener favorites, packed with insights, laughs, and empowered eating encouragement to keep you fueled all summer long. A quick heads up: since these are throwbacks, you might hear old references to programs or events that are no longer active—but the heart of each episode still hits. You can find all the new resources and ways to connect with me in the show notes. I hope you are having the best summer! Enjoy! Let's dive in and revisit the best of the best! I spend more time refereeing at family dinners than I do tasting my food. My attention is on my email (instead of my lunch) when I take my lunch "break." The reality is, mindful eating in a fast-paced, often chaotic environment can be challenging. For me, I had forgotten how powerful it could be and lost the practice. After a trip on my own (without kids and away from emails), I was pleasantly reminded of the wonderful benefits of mindful eating. There are both mental and physiological benefits to eating mindfully, and I want to help you (and me) return to this practice... even WHEN our life is chaotic. Today's episode includes 3 quick, easy tips that you can practice today to build your mindful eating skills. You can do them in the car, during your lunch "break" as you answer emails, or as you wrangle the kiddos at dinner time. Practice one or all three and I know you will feel the benefits and enjoy your food even more!

    Three things to consider when planning to leave somewhere on your boat. Hint: Arrival time is often the key. Summary  Planning a trip by boat is far more complex than a trip by car. You can't simply decide when you'll leave and start out. There are actually three factors you need to think about when planning when to leave on the next leg of your journey. First, ask yourself when you need to arrive. Do you have to align your arrival with the tides? Or perhaps daylight? Then your calculations are a bit more complex and require some thought. Secondly, what is the weather? Do you need to arrive somewhere ahead of a weather front? Perhaps you need to leave an anchorage that is not optimal for the weather coming in.  Finally, how will your boat's speed affect your timing? In addition, if you travel either faster or slower than expected, how will you adjust?  For more details and real-life examples, listen to the full podcast or check out Timing Passes in the Tuamotus(https://www.fit2sail.com/countdown-to-cruising/2025/7/1/timing-passes-in-the-tuamotus).  Subscribe to the Boat Galley Newsletter! - https://theboatgalley.com/newsletter-signup-2 Links (Amazon links are affiliate links, meaning that The Boat Galley Podcast earns from qualifying purchases; some other links may be affiliate links): Departure planning -  https://fastseas.com NEW Boat Galley weather book - https://products.theboatgalley.com/products/weather  Nica email - nica@fit2sail.com Carolyn email - carolyn@theboatgalley.com Today's episode of The Boat Galley Podcast is sponsored by MantusMarine.com, maker of the Mantus anchor, now available in models with and without a roll bar.

Yelena Shulyatyeva weighs in on the latest jobs report, saying the U.S. economy is indeed slowing down, with companies scaling back investment and hiring amid tariff uncertainty. She expects consumers to feel the pinch in back-to-school shopping and during the holidays as labor force participation rates decline. Despite some clarity on tariffs, Shulyatyeva warns that higher prices will hit consumer spending, leading to a significant slowdown in economic activity in the second half of the year, and potentially into 2026.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Ryan & Becca dig into a listener's question about what to do when your big, higher-priced pieces stop selling—and you don't want to pivot into teaching. We talk honestly about adapting to shifts in the buying market while staying true to your creative voice, making smaller or different work without feeling like you're selling out, and share real strategies for makers who want to keep making and selling what they love, even when the market changes.Maker of the MomentAshley Gaylord - @ashley.g.potteryBrad & Jess - @elmstonestudioListeners QuestionsOn this episode:I've made a flan dish with grogged cone 6 clay plus glazed it at cone 6 and have done tests cooking vegetable quiche and have had no cracks. I would love to know more about cookware as I have just made a small frying pan, but I don't think I can glaze that with the expansion rates of the clay and glaze? I'm in the UK and my pottery supplier really can't help. Have you both had any experience with making your own cookware? As I'm finding it very exciting to have dishes and pans that I can use in my own home. Many thanks Melanie @handthrownpotteryResource: https://ceramicmaterialsworkshop.com/podcastepisode/episode-86-how-do-you-make-ceramic-bakeware/The past year I've seen a sharp, and I mean SHARP drop off in sales of my big pieces (I used to sell at least 3-5 big, sculptural vases per market and now it's zero) I've had to pivot to making more small, cheaper things. Might be a good topic for the podcast, how we adapt to changes in the buying market. The first thing people always suggest is alternate income streams (ie teaching etc), but I'd love to hear more of what people like me are doing, who have no interest in teaching, to be able to keep making and selling their work. @revisioniststudioSponsorsL&L Kilns - The durable kiln that potters trust to fire evenly & consistently.

Today's poem is Nocturne by Oliver Baez Bendorf. The Slowdown is currently taking a break. We'll be back soon with new episodes from a new host. This week, we're revisiting some favorites from Major Jackson's time as host. Today's episode was originally released on September 8, 2023. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… “In young adulthood, long before children, jobs, home ownership, my evenings felt like a blank canvas of cultural and spiritual possibility. I felt a joyous connection to all around me, artists and writers and musicians, thinkers and believers, both living and departed, alive in their pursuit of beauty and knowledge. I was starving and knew it. On South Street, one bookstore stayed open till midnight. Many nights I closed it down, sitting in a corner reading a paperback, a beer in my pocket or a cup of coffee in my hand. At some point, I knew I needed to make art, to move to celebrating the world's loveliness. I was perpetually hungry to do so.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

Today's poem is Accessory to War by Kim Stafford. The Slowdown is currently taking a break. We'll be back soon with new episodes from a new host. This week, we're revisiting some favorites from Major Jackson's time as host. Today's episode was originally released on April 30, 2024. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… “Today's sobering poem lands a powerful reminder: that even when we adhere to a belief against war, even when we wish not to collude in acts of aggression, in a powerful nation as ours, mere citizenship implicates us.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.
