Today's poem is Return Path by Lesley Wheeler.The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “The multiple repetitions and the circular nature of the villanelle make it a good form for poems that grapple with an insistent memory, an unresolved emotion, or a feeling of being trapped. But the form can be a container for any kind of subject matter in which repetition feels essential. So much of life is repetition, after all, isn't it? We perform the same actions again and again, day after day. This might sound mundane, but when repetition is reverent, it also forms rituals — repetitions which give our lives meaning. Today's poem is a villanelle, and its use of the word ‘circuit' makes the repetition especially apropos.”This show is supported by gifts from listeners. Support The Slowdown with a donation today.

Today's poem is Listening to Vespertine for Twenty Hours Straight by Derrick Austin.The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “If you're lucky, you have friends who might sense the shift in your emotional weather: the clouds rolling in, the sky darkening. If you're very lucky, those friends might know what to do without being asked or prompted. They might come over with takeout and offer a listening ear. They might pick you up and take you to the movies or to a concert, to get you out of your bubble. Or maybe they come over and just simply exist with you. Maybe sitting next to you, maybe watching TV, maybe not talking at all, all without expecting you to be cheerful or even sociable. Their presence is calming in itself. Their unconditional love and acceptance, even when you're not sparkling.”This show is supported by gifts from listeners. Support The Slowdown with a donation today. Slowdownshow.org/donate

In this episode of Embracing Enough, Dina sits down with nervous system and embodiment expert Dara Steinberg, founder of Slow Down to Become, for a conversation about one of the most overlooked leadership skills: feeling safe enough to trust yourself.Together, they explore why so many high-achieving women mistake chronic stress, overperformance, and people-pleasing for ambition - and how those patterns often stem from messages they received long before they entered the workplace. Rather than framing confidence as something women need to build, they challenge listeners to consider whether confidence naturally emerges when the nervous system finally feels safe.The conversation dives into the connection between nervous system regulation, leadership, and decision-making, unpacking why women often struggle to trust their instincts, say no without guilt, or have difficult conversations without second-guessing themselves. Dara shares how chronic tension, burnout, hypervigilance, and even physical symptoms can be signs that the body has been operating in survival mode for years.Dina connects this work to her research on the confidence cliff girls experience around age nine, arguing that many leadership struggles don't begin in adulthood - they're the continuation of stories women have been carrying since childhood. Together, they discuss how sensitivity is often misunderstood, how generational trauma shapes our relationship with safety and self-trust, and why learning to reconnect with our bodies may be one of the most powerful forms of leadership development.The episode closes with practical strategies for regulating the nervous system, cultivating joy, honoring boundaries, and rebuilding trust with ourselves - reminding listeners that leadership isn't about pushing harder, but about leading without abandoning who they are.

In this Mindfulness in Action episode, we're practicing patience in real time.If you listened to last week's solo episode, I talked about impatience, rushing, and how so many of us move through life like our self-worth depends on our productivity. This practice is about noticing that urgency in the body and gently turning the dial down.You don't have to cancel everything or suddenly become a completely calm person. This is about slowing down just 2%, enough for your nervous system to notice that you are no longer rushing. You are just moving.I guide you through a simple walking meditation to notice your default pace, where urgency shows up in your body, and what changes when you soften, breathe, and move a little more slowly.This is a practice for anyone who feels like they're living in fast-forward mode and wants to come back to the present moment.--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co. 

I am a strong believer of staying focused and not deviating from your calling, because focused pursuits over time bring success. Whereas, deviations from your path slow down your calling to a standstill. However, we also have Holy Spirit inside us who knows how to navigate the ups and downs of a calling. This means that there may be seasons when Holy Spirit will direct you to take an anointed deviation that may appear to break your focus. The difference between an anointed deviation verses a self-appointed deviation is that an anointed deviation does not slow down the success of your calling. It will compliment it.     __________ 1 Kings 17:1–5 KJV, Acts 20:34 KJV, Ecclesiastes 10:19 KJV, 1 Corinthians 14:33 KJV, Proverbs 10:22 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________    

If you're working on transforming your mindset, happiness, and inner peace, this video can help you gain powerful insights for creating greater clarity and empowerment. Also, if you'd like to go deeper, there is a free Free Mind-body Healing training deep dive training you can access here. https://brandygillmore.com/mind-body-training If you've ever felt like you can't truly relax, even when you're doing all the "right" things, this episode explores why that can happen and what may really be keeping your nervous system on high alert. Brandy shares powerful insights from her recent work with a live volunteer, Sophie, who had spent years practicing yoga, meditation, energy work, and positive thinking, yet still couldn't get her nervous system to settle. In this episode, Brandy explains why constantly feeling wired or unable to slow down is often not simply about needing more rest or another relaxation technique. Instead, the subconscious mind may be holding hidden beliefs that make slowing down feel unsafe, lazy, or as though you're not doing enough or aren't good enough. In some cases, these deeper patterns can even influence the body in unexpected ways. You'll discover why so many relaxation techniques fall short, how subconscious programming can quietly keep you in constant motion, and why identifying the real reason underneath is the key to helping your mind and body finally feel safe enough to relax. If you've been wondering why you can't seem to switch off no matter how hard you try, this episode offers empowering insights to help you better understand what's really happening beneath the surface—and why that understanding can be the first step toward lasting change.

With markets back in rotation mode, OptionsPlay's Tony Zhang says he's watching how that rotation plays into a climb of tensions between the U.S. and Iran, along with CPI and PPI pointing to an inflation downtrend. He says hyperscalers need to show earnings growth to restore long-term investor confidence in tech. Tony highlights one of those hyperscalers: Amazon (AMZN), which he likes due to its recent outperformance. He sees a similar trend in Alibaba (BABA) but warns his bullishness here is more speculative. Tony offers example options trades for Amazon and Alibaba. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

What if the reason you can't slow down has nothing to do with your workload... And everything to do with what happens when life gets quiet? In this episode, I unpack one of the most overlooked struggles among ambitious entrepreneurs, executives, founders, and high performers: the inability to simply be. Using my recent vacation as the backdrop, I explore why so many successful people feel restless, anxious, or even emotionally exhausted when they finally stop working.  We discuss the subconscious beliefs that make productivity feel safe, why vacations often fail to recharge you, how constant busyness becomes emotional avoidance, and why your greatest clarity, creativity, and breakthroughs emerge only when you create space for them. In this episode, you'll learn: Why high performers struggle to slow down The subconscious beliefs that make productivity feel safe How busyness becomes a form of emotional avoidance Why vacations often leave successful people feeling exhausted instead of restored How stillness unlocks creativity, clarity, and better decision-making Why your subconscious does its best work when your conscious mind steps aside Practical ways to become more comfortable with silence and stillness How to recharge without feeling guilty If slowing down feels uncomfortable, vacations leave you feeling more drained than refreshed, or you constantly feel the need to stay productive, this episode will challenge the way you think about rest, presence, and high performance.

Today's poem is Kindness by Naomi Shihab Nye. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “Wherever you live, you don't have to be nice. But please be kind. We need more genuine, altruistic kindness in this world. So, how can you be more kind? By helping others without being performative about it, and without needing recognition.

Today's poem is Nobody's Job by Ronna Bloom.The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “We call an ending “resonant” because it does what a bell does: After it's rung, the vibration lingers. It reverberates. It sticks with you long after you've read the piece, humming in your head. Today's poem is beautiful start to finish, but the ending astonished me. It moved me to tears, which caught me by surprise! If you don't know this poem, I'm envious that you get to experience it for the first time.”This show is supported by gifts from listeners. Power your daily dose of poetry at Slowdownshow.org/donate

Today's poem is When you have to remind me to do the dishes by Isaac Pickell.The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “When I think back to my own upbringing and what I learned from my mother and father, almost none of it has to do with growing up as a girl. I got my work ethic, sense of humor, and sense of fairness from both of them. I remind myself of all of that whenever I wonder if my son is getting what he needs from me. And I remind myself that he has a village around him.” This show is supported by gifts from listeners. Power your daily dose of poetry at Slowdownshow.org/donate

Codie from Daniell Heat & Air in Arkansas shares how 17 years in the trade taught him that slowing down is the key to serving customers better and achieving top performance. From asking better questions to digging deeper into the “why” behind every issue, Codie explains how consistent training, communication, and self-reflection helped him become a million-dollar technician.Key Takeaways:The best technicians never stop training. Codie makes time for learning every week, even during peak demand season, through podcasts, online training, and ongoing practice.Always find the “why.” Great technicians don't stop at identifying what failed; they investigate why it failed to prevent future problems and better serve customers.Slow down to speed up. Moving slower, talking slower, and giving customers time to process information leads to better communication, higher trust, and stronger results.The confused mind always says no. If customers don't understand the problem or solution, it's the technician's responsibility to communicate more clearly using analogies, visuals, and simple language.Debrief every call. Codie journals after service calls to identify what went well, what could improve, and how to avoid repeating mistakes. Small daily improvements compound over time.Communication is the ultimate technical skill. Technical expertise matters, but the ability to explain complex problems in a way homeowners understand is what separates good technicians from great ones.Follow us on social: Facebook | Instagram | YouTubeLearn more about SBE at sbeodyssey.com

Today's poem is Mother Church No. 3 by Robin Coste Lewis.The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “It's incredible to me that less than two hours from my home in the Midwestern suburbs is an enormous ancient earthwork. But that's the thing about history — it layers on top of itself in unexpected ways. No matter where you live in the United States, you live on land that has long been home to Indigenous people.”This show is supported by gifts from listeners. Support us today.

Today's poem is The Interpretation of Dreams by Kate Farrell. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “The grand adventures or scary disasters that happen in our sleep are most interesting to the dreamers themselves, because a dream is a window into the subconscious. It's a little peek into what your mind is actually chewing on, maybe without you even realizing it. You thought you were over that thing a friend said to you, or that awkward situation at work, but when it popped up in your dream, you realized no, it's still on your mind.” This show is made possible by gifts from listeners.

Today's poem is Thirst Trap by Caleb Curtiss. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “People post seductive selfies for all kinds of reasons. They might want validation in the forms of likes and comments. They might be single and hoping to meet someone online. They might be trying to build a following, or promote a product. Someone's face or body is going to grab a lot more eyes on social media than text on a plain background. Which means we're often attaching our bodies to our labor or art. Regardless of how you feel about this, it is, in a way, deeply intimate.” This show is made possible by gifts from listeners. Support The Slowdown today. Slowdownshow.org/donate
