Karl-Anthony Towns has spent his life chasing championships, but his greatest lessons came far from the basketball court. In this heartfelt conversation with Jay Shetty, he reflects on grief, faith, family, and the moments that shaped the man behind the jersey.

What happens when retirement becomes an opportunity to build something meaningful rather than simply step away from work?In this episode of Beyond Retirement, Jacquie Doucette sits down with Sandy Laneville to explore how retirement can become a time of contribution, connection, and personal growth.Sandy's journey began with a career in municipal recreation before she chose to stay home to raise her children. Over the years, she continued to find ways to contribute — volunteering in the community, serving as deputy reeve in her municipality, launching a pickleball club, leading women's retreats, and teaching senior fitness classes.Through her story, Sandy illustrates that retirement is not about slowing down completely — it's about choosing how you want to spend your time and energy. From helping seniors stay active to building community programs and supporting neighbors, Sandy shows how purpose can evolve through every stage of life.Her central message is simple but powerful: follow what brings you joy, listen to that inner voice encouraging you to try something new, and remember that you don't have to be an expert to make a meaningful difference.Key Topics Covered Purpose Beyond CareerWhy many people still need a sense of contribution after leaving paid workFinding fulfillment through volunteering and community involvementIdentity TransitionsAdjusting from career roles to family and community rolesDiscovering leadership and personal strengths later in lifeStaying Active in RetirementHow movement and balance training support independenceSmall daily habits that can improve physical healthCommunity ConnectionThe importance of avoiding isolation after retirementBuilding friendships and support networks among seniorsCreating OpportunitiesStarting local initiatives like fitness groups or pickleball clubsWhy you don't have to be an expert to introduce new activitiesFollowing the Voice of JoyRecognizing what brings you energy and fulfillmentLetting joy guide decisions in retirementQuestions to Reflect OnWhat activities genuinely bring you joy right now?Is there something you've always wanted to try but never had time for?How could you contribute to your community in a small way?Are there relationships you could strengthen by reaching out more often?What would retirement look like if you designed it intentionally?ResourcesMatthew Kelly's book, Slowing Down to the Speed of Joy, https://amazon.com/dp/1635825644READY TO RAMP UP YOUR RETIREMENT JOURNEY?Start here: https://beyondretirement.ca/start-here/Book a FREE call with Jacquie: https://calendly.com/jacquiedoucette/discoveryCheck out the Beyond Retirement Library: https://placeforbooks.com**************Don't forget to check out Reinvention Rebels and grab your free gift: https://reinventionrebels.com/100Reinvention Rebels, hosted by Wendy Battles, is for women in midlife and beyond who are ready to consciously design the next chapter of their lives.

A few weeks ago, I walked out of my office the day before the Fourth of July weekend and told my team to shut it down at four o'clock. And I felt guilty about it. Guilty. For leaving early on a holiday weekend after one of the most stressful stretches I've had in years. That guilt is exactly what this episode is about. So many high-achieving women — women who are building businesses, raising families, managing teams, holding everything together — have been conditioned to believe that rest is something you earn. That you get to stop after you've done enough. But that's not how recovery works. And it's not how sustainable success works either. In this episode, I'm getting honest about my own complicated relationship with rest, why I think the permission problem is at the root of burnout for most high-achieving women, and the practical steps I've been taking to actually recover — not just pause between sprints. Rest is not a reward. It is a strategy. And it might be the most important and most underused tool you have. In this episode: • Why high-achieving women are so bad at giving themselves permission to rest — and the identity piece underneath it • What real, restorative rest actually looks like (it's not just sleep) • Why a weekend is not sufficient recovery for months of sustained high effort • The permission problem: why we're physically present in rest but mentally still in the grind • Three practical tools to start recovering intentionally — without a week off or a spa retreatCheck out the supplements and workouts that keep me on track through every season here: https://linktr.ee/lauracatina

"Innovation is what makes me excited to show up to work." — Emma Grace MoonThis episode is your invitation to rethink what success looks like and how creativity can become your greatest competitive advantage. I'm joined by founder of Praize, Emma Grace Moon, for a conversation about AI, entrepreneurship, creativity, burnout, and why moving from New York City to Paris transformed the way she leads her business and her life.Emma shares how building a data-driven strategy consultancy has taught her that creativity isn't limited to artists. Whether she's helping brands understand AI search, measuring the impact of PR, or building innovative strategies for clients, creativity shows up through curiosity, experimentation, and staying ahead of what's next.We also explore the relationship between creativity and place. After years of building her business in New York City, Emma realized she was burnt out and disconnected from herself. A series of travels led her to Paris. She shares how shorter workdays, stronger boundaries, and creating space outside of work have actually made her a better leader while helping her business grow.Toward the end of our conversation, Emma shares her approach to public speaking, creative confidence, and moving through self-doubt. Rather than over-preparing, she trusts the knowledge she's built through years of experience. In addition to the support of affirmations, breathwork, and nervous system regulation.Whether you're navigating burnout, building a business, exploring AI, dreaming of living abroad, or looking for new ways to nourish your creativity, this conversation is a reminder that your environment, curiosity, and willingness to evolve (and shut the laptop) all shape the work you're here to create.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, or on your favorite podcast platform while you cook, clean, or create.

Hey, Family Brand community! We are so glad to be back in the studio. It probably doesn't feel like we've been gone since we recorded a few episodes ahead of time, but after spending the last few weeks traveling through Croatia and Turkey, we're excited to sit down and share some of the biggest lessons we brought home with us. Every trip has a way of changing us, and this one was no exception. Our first stop was Croatia, where we hosted another Family Brand cruise with our good friend Antony and the Solomori team. If Croatia has been sitting on your travel bucket list, consider this your sign to move it to the top. It's absolutely beautiful, but what impacted us most wasn't just the scenery—it was the culture. Everywhere we went, we saw families making time for one another, preserving traditions, sharing stories, and simply slowing down. Meals weren't rushed. Conversations stretched for hours. We even learned a Croatian word that quickly became the theme of our trip: pomalo—which simply means take it easy, slow down, don't rush. It became a reminder that maybe we're not meant to race through life quite as fast as we often do. Then we landed in Turkey, and talk about a complete shift. Everything felt unfamiliar—in the best possible way. From hearing the call to prayer echo across Istanbul to visiting beautiful mosques, trying a traditional Turkish bath, navigating a language barrier, and experiencing a culture completely different from our own, we found ourselves having conversations as a family that we never would have had otherwise. It challenged some assumptions, expanded our understanding of another faith and culture, and reminded us how valuable it is to step outside what's comfortable. We left with an even greater appreciation for the kindness we experienced everywhere we went and for how much there is to learn simply by being curious. By the time we made it home, each of us had something different we were bringing back. For some of us, it was a renewed commitment to slow down and prioritize family. For others, it was a deeper appreciation for home, or even a desire to start reading physical books again instead of always listening to audiobooks. More than anything, this trip reminded us that growth doesn't just happen through travel—it happens anytime we're willing to be open to new people, different perspectives, and meaningful conversations. Whether your next adventure is across the world or simply across town, we hope it stretches you in all the best ways. Hit play to hear the full conversation! We dive much deeper into the stories, the laughs, the culture, and the lessons that simply can't all fit into a blog post. P.S. We're here to help you build your own Family Brand, one episode at a time. So go ahead, hit play, and let's grow together!

Slowing down isn't just taking a vacation or finding time to rest. Slowing down in order to speed up is an intentional strategy to improve our impact in our life and work. For Full Show Notes Visit https://www.jasonvbarger.com/podcast/slowing-down-to-speed-up/ Jason challenges the traditional corporate hustle, exploring why the most effective leaders and teams must intentionally slow down in order to truly speed up. Please rate and review the podcast to help amplify these messages to others! Summary: In a fast-paced business world, velocity is often mistaken for validation. But does running faster actually mean we are getting further? In this episode of The Thermostat, Jason V Barger deconstructs the "busyness myth" and explores the direct correlation between intentional rest and high performance. Drawing on revealing research from the Harvard Business Review, Jason highlights how constant context-switching—where professionals shift focus 300 to 500 times a day—destroys baseline productivity and degrades team execution. Instead of grinding at all hours, the most successful executives build deliberate margins to recharge their mental bandwidth and regain clarity on their highest priorities. Essential listening for C-Suite executives, operations directors, and team leaders committed to shaping compelling corporate cultures, this episode offers a practical four-part framework—seeking joy, breaking tendencies, growing like bamboo, and thorough preparation—to help you calibrate your organizational thermostat and lead with unshakeable confidence. Episode Notes & Timestamps: Intro: Jason introduces the counterintuitive concept of slowing down to speed up, challenging the idea that constant motion equals progress. A Milestone Celebration: Thanking loyal listeners as The Thermostat is officially recognized as the #13 top authentic leadership podcast in the world by Million Podcasts. The Strategic Pause: Why stepping away and taking time off is a calculated performance strategy rather than just an administrative luxury. The Busyness Myth: Insights from Jason's second book, Remember, addressing the reality of the modern distracted worker. The 30% Productivity Cliff: Unpacking a Harvard Business Review study proving that constant task-switching yields a massive drop in actual effectiveness. Strategy 1 - Seek Joy: Stepping away from the unyielding to-do list to actively pursue experiences that restore your baseline mental presence. Strategy 2 - Break Tendencies: Disrupting rigid operational routines and personal habits to stimulate fresh thinking and expand creative bandwidth. Strategy 3 - Grow Like Bamboo: Allowing your strategic ideas to mature and wander beneath the surface before scaling vertically. Strategy 4 - Prepare for Confidence: How intentional reflection and dreaming during recovery windows builds unshakeable execution confidence for the road ahead. Questions to Ponder: Jason challenges leaders to identify specific ways they will recharge to bring their absolute best when it is required. Key Takeaways for Leaders: Busyness vs. Effectiveness: Stop equating constant task-switching with actual progress; prioritize intentional focus over chaotic multitasking. Strategic Rest: Treat downtime, vacations, and daily margins not as weaknesses, but as non-negotiable performance enhancers for yourself and your team. Break Routines to Innovate: Deliberately alter your personal and professional cadences to prevent complacency and spark new strategic alignment.

Have you ever caught yourself rushing through the very life you've been praying for? In this episode of The Soul Aligned Podcast, Andrea shares a personal story that began on a simple morning drive to the lake and became an unexpected lesson in presence, nervous system regulation, and self-trust.  As she found herself mentally racing from one task to the next — even while heading out to do something she genuinely loves — she realized the urgency wasn't about tim. It was an old pattern. A familiar way of operating from scarcity instead of abundance.  This conversation explores why so many of us life in a constant state of "hurry," how that disconnects us from our intuition, and what becomes possible when we choose to slow down enough to fully inhabit the present moment.  If you've been feeling like you're always chasing the next milestone, this episode is a gentle invitation to return to yourself.  We dive into: Why hurry is a nervous system pattern. How urgency pulls us out of alignment.  What it means to embody the life you're calling in.  Soul Reflection: Where in your life have you been hurrying toward the next thing instead of fully experiencing what's already here for you now?  What would change if you believed there was enough time, enough support, and enough of you? This week notice the moments when urgency begins to take over. Pause. Take one conscious breath. Ask yourself: "What would it feel like to trust that I don't have to rush to receive what's already on it's way?" About Andrea: Andrea is a certified coach with over 30 years experience, an author, speaker, and guide who helps both men and women reconnect with their inner knowing so they can live, lead and create from a place of deep alignment. Through nervous system regulation, somatic awareness, mindset, energetic healing, and transformational coaching, she supports her clients to release old patterns, trust themselves more deeply, and embody the next version of who they are becoming.  Connect With Andrea: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andreacrispcoach YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheSoulAlignedPodcast Website: https://www.andreacrisp.ca Join the Soul Aligned Collective: https://www.andreacrisp.ca/collective Free Insight Timer Meditation: Cashflow Nervous System Reset for Entrepreneurs If this episode resonated with you, I'd love for you to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs the reminder that they don't have to rush through the life they're creating.

We are already halfway through the summer season. Time moves at the speed of light! Or - is it just us moving too fast? This week on Self-Care Daily, Rachel is going to share mindfulness practices that will help you slow down time. It's a week dedicated to getting present for the moments of life that matter the most. Can you stay grounded in the now? Can you immerse yourself in the magic and beauty of this time of year? If you can, time will move a lot slower. Tune in to begin.

This week on The GovNavigators Show, Robert and Adam welcome Alex Snider, a former GSA and State Department official and author of the new book Sometimes You Should Be Late, to talk about what mindfulness has to do with government management. Alex walks through his career path in the Executive branch, and explains how recovering from a bike accident and the concussion that followed sent him toward meditation, therapy, and a new relationship with time. The conversation digs into the way breath is important to helping us live in the present, how bringing mindfulness into stakeholder meetings and performance reviews changes how public servants relate to one another, and why "sometimes you should be late" isn't an excuse for flakiness but a case for slowing down enough to notice the things that matter. Plus, Alex lets us in on the realities of a first-time author's book launch, and how it further reinforced his idea that we should let go of the things we can't control.  Show Notes: WSJ: Housing Bill Becomes Law Despite Trump Refusing to Sign It Federal News Network: Federal CIO Barbaccia leaving in August Federal News Network: DoT CIO Pidugu leaving Federal News Network: Interior Department CIO is out after holding job for over a year Government Executive: HUD's tech chief appears headed for Interior The Hill: DOGE officially shuts down Politico: Washington's quantum reality check (White House quantum summit) IBM Newsroom: Oak Ridge National Lab, Cleveland Clinic, and IBM Achieve First-Known Computations of Fusion Materials on a Quantum Computer Alex Snider: Sometimes You Should Be Late (Book) Alex Snider: Slow Mindfulness (Substack) Alex Snider: slowmindfulness.com What's on the GovNavigators' Radar? July 14th: Federal Student Loan Management Roundtable, Center for USA Lending, Washington, DC Grants Management SIN Webinar, GSA July 15th: Emerging Fraud Threats and the Evolving Fraud Landscape Hearing, Subcommittee on Government Operations, U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Exposing Fraud in America Hearing, Senate Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee July 16th: GovExec Government Efficiency Summit, JW Marriott, Washington, DC 

Ripple isn't slowing down. While most people are still watching the XRP price, Ripple keeps expanding the infrastructure behind the scenes. From RLUSD and tokenization to institutional custody, global payments, and enterprise adoption, the pace hasn't slowed—it has accelerated. The question isn't whether Ripple is building. The question is whether the market realizes what it's building. In today's episode of On The Chain, Jeff and Chip connect the dots across the latest Ripple and XRP developments to explain why the next phase may be much bigger than most people expect. If you've been following the headlines one story at a time, this episode will help you see the bigger picture.

Your body remembers long before you ever learned the words to explain what you were feeling. In this conversation, licensed professional counselor and author AC Seiple shares why so many of us mistake constant stress for normal life.

We discuss what happens inside us after frightening experiences and why time outdoors is one of the best places to begin finding our footing again. This episode will help you understand yourself with more compassion and offer a hopeful path toward living with a little more ease, presence, and wholeness.

Federal retirement processing times are slowing down. During June, it took OPM an average of 108 days to process a retirement claim, according to the agency's latest data release. Processing times for digital-only applications averaged 96 days. That's a full 30 days longer than the previous month's average.

OPM received close to 9,000 new claims last month and processed nearly 13,000.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Slowing down sounds simple. For driven people, it can feel like dying.In this episode of Shed & Shine, Rob and Gino get into why high performers are often terrified to slow down, and what's really underneath that fear. When you stop moving, stuff comes up. Everything your soul has been trying to show you. And for a lot of driven people, that's the scariest part of all.Gino shares a conversation he had with a client who just sold his second company and can't figure out how to shift gears after 40 years of going hard. The advice? Create space. Say no. Sit with the discomfort. Because the next thing worth doing rarely shows up while you're still running at full speed.Your drive isn't the problem. It's about finding the speed where everything opens up.

We reflect on how time pressure has changed over the years, with constant notifications, information overload, and the expectation of being always available making many of us feel perpetually behind.We explore how anxiety changes our relationship to time. We describe how the mind turns ordinary time into a threat, making us feel that we are running out of time, late in life, or behind in healing. We also note how language such as “I don't have time” or “I'm killing time” reflects a strained view of time.We consider the impact of chronic urgency on the body. We say that long-term time stress can affect sleep, digestion, concentration, irritability, inflammation, and overall nervous system activation. We also point out that people often mistake hurry for productivity and live in constant preparation rather than participation.We offer a different approach based on rhythm and presence. We distinguish healthy planning from rehearsing disaster or replaying regret, and we identify four ways we leave the present: regret, guilt, fear, and urgency. We close with a simple practice of pausing, taking one slow breath, and focusing on what needs attention right now, with the reminder that healing begins when we stop racing toward a future version of ourselves.#TimeUrgency, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #GinaRyan, #NervousSystem, #SlowingDown, #PresentMoment, #AnxietyRelief, #MentalHealth, #Overwhelm, #AlwaysAvailable, #DigitalDetox, #SocialMediaStress, #ComparisonCulture, #HealingJourney, #TimePressure, #Mindfulness, #InnerPeace, #StressManagement, #ChronicStress, #ProductivityTrap, #NatureRhythms, #ThichNhatHanh, #Presence, #MentalWellbeing, #SelfCompassion, #NervousSystemRegulation, #PresentMomentAwareness, #MentalHealthEducation, #DigitalOverwhelm, #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today I'm joined by my client Robbie Francis, an entrepreneur who describes what life looked like before: crowbarring himself out of bed, dragging through mornings, grinding through work, and slowly losing the edge he used to have in his 40s.He wasn't just uncomfortable in his body, he was getting stressed by small things, and it was affecting how he showed up at home and in business.Robbie shares the turning point that made everything finally stick after years of failed “get fit fast” attempts: changing the time horizon.Instead of trying to overhaul his life in six to eight weeks, he commits to building a fit and healthy lifestyle over years - and that's when it "just happened and it feels like cheating"We unpack how habits compound into autopilot, why it starts to feel effortless, and how he lost 15 kilos (32 pounds) while gaining energy, confidence, and the ability to handle more pressure again with the stamina of his 20-year old self.More focus, less wasted work, and a stronger engine to carry the mission.Subscribe for more real transformation stories, share this with a friend who's been stuck, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway: what's one small habit you're ready to compound for the next 10 years?Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina  Certified Health, Sleep, Performance & Executive Coach 360 with 18 years of experience helping people change to feel, be and do their best.

Today is our season three finale . It has been an absolute privilege watching Rachel and Mike untangle their negative cycles, and they open today's session with the ultimate proof that the work is paying off . When a major trigger hit just two nights ago, the script flipped entirely . Instead of his typical silent shutdown and her sharp tongue, Mike paused and shared the vulnerable feelings he was processing, allowing Rachel to meet him with compassion instead of anger . By slowing down, they turned what would have historically been a catastrophic fight into an opportunity to bond . In this finale, we walk through the TEMPO framework (Trigger, Emotion, Meaning, Protection, Organization) that helped them get here . Mike also opens up about the paralyzing "doom and gloom" fear he carries when they go into a state of disconnection . Follow Julie Menanno on social media @thesecurerelationship.

Recently, I was reading through a list of projected youth culture trends for 2026 published by the fashion media platform, Qui Talks. One trend that caught my eye is actually quite hopeful, and it's one that we should not only take note of, but work to facilitate. The Qui Talks site calls the trend “The Cozy Comeback”, explaining that it's all about a generation that increasingly finds itself burnt out and desiring a slower pace of life. The site tells us that young people are romanticizing rest – not as laziness, but as survival. In a youth culture world marked by anxiety, constant pressure, and ongoing stimulation, this is not at all surprising, after all, God made us for a rhythm of work and rest. What a great opportunity we have to introduce our kids to the restorative and God-ordained practice of sabbath. The translation of the Hebrew word for Sabbath is translated as “cease” or “desist”, which clearly reminds us of our need to rest. Start with one day, Sunday, to practice Sabbath.

Unbridled Efficiency: Deconstructing Herd Dynamics and Distributed Corporate Governance with Julia FeltonIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Julia Felton, the founder of Business HorsePower, to dismantle the archaic, centralized power structures that trigger widespread employee attrition and operational bottlenecks. Julia, an international corporate performance consultant and experiential leadership pioneer, leverages the profound somatic dynamics of equine herds to help modern executive teams build high-yield workplace collaboration. This conversation serves as an essential strategic manual for mid-market founders and enterprise leaders looking to eliminate corporate text-and-meeting fatigue, implement distributed teamship models, and cultivate an un-fakeable presence that commands premium authority across their entire industry vertical.The Somatic Architecture: Shifting from Hierarchy to Autonomous Teamship via Equine IntelligenceTraditional boardroom workshops and clinical, slide-deck management training routinely fail to produce long-term behavioral changes because they rely on passive intellectual absorption rather than deep experiential learning. Julia Felton details how horses—highly sensitive prey animals attuned to body language and subtle energetic shifts—function as mirror metrics for an executive's true, unvarnished presence. Unlike an internal corporate hierarchy where subordinates might mask frustration or silently comply with poor management decisions, a horse completely ignores title or status, responding exclusively to authentic communication and physical intentionality. By transitioning management development out of the lecture hall and into real-time somatic arenas, leaders gain immediate feedback loops that break through perfection paralysis and sharpen executive emotional intelligence far faster than conventional training methods.To survive threats and safely optimize resources in volatile environments, a horse herd operates on an organic system of distributed leadership rather than a fixed, top-down command-and-control framework. In this highly collaborative environment, authority shifts fluidly based on situational context—allowing the individual with the most relevant operational knowledge to navigate the group through an immediate obstacle. Many scaling enterprises carry massive operational debt because founders establish rigid communication silos, forcing every micro-decision up to the C-suite and conditioning frontline workers to upwardly defer simple responsibilities. Real-world business agility is unlocked when an organization mimics this distributed model, delegating true decision-making rights to specialized functional teams and co-creating robust guardrails that allow average personnel to operate with high-level accountability.Furthermore, building long-term enterprise valuation demands that leadership intentionally practice slowing down daily administrative velocity to accelerate long-term strategic execution. When a company rewards endless multitasking and performative busyness, it narrows the cognitive vision of its executive tier, leading to erratic management choices and systemic burnout across the labor infrastructure. True market differentiation is achieved when founders design deliberate "white space" into corporate workflows, utilizing tech-free periods and structured reflection loops to evaluate underlying process metrics rather than chasing short-term micro-gains. When clear behavioral consistency, transparent corporate governance, and psychological safety are synthesized under an optimized system architecture, the company limits transaction errors and strengthens client trust. This intentional alignment transforms a fragile, founder-dependent company into a highly stable, self-sustaining corporate asset designed to scale predictably under any market conditions.About Julia FeltonJulia Felton is the Founder of Business HorsePower, a prominent international keynote speaker, leadership coach, and author specializing in experiential corporate development and team-building frameworks. Drawing from a diverse global career in high-stakes corporate consulting alongside deep research into natural herd behavior and equine welfare, Julia helps modern executives bridge the gap between technical operations and somatic human connection. She is the best-selling author of Unbridled Success and Unbridled Business, providing enterprise teams with clear strategies to eliminate operational friction and scale productivity.About Business HorsePowerBusiness HorsePower is an elite leadership consultancy and corporate performance agency that provides immersive experiential training, alignment retreats, and behavioral diagnostics for mid-market organizations. The firm specializes in replacing outdated top-down hierarchies with agile, self-managing distributed governance frameworks that optimize talent retention and cross-functional performance. Through data-driven assessment tools like the Business HorsePower Quiz, the consultancy enables scaling businesses to eliminate administrative leadership bottlenecks and secure sustainable profit margins.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeBusiness HorsePower Official Website: businesshorsepower.comJulia Felton on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/juliafeltonKey Episode HighlightsThe Equine Feedback Mirror: Leveraging the acute, non-verbal feedback loops of horses to unmask executive blind spots and refine authentic communication.The Distributed Herd Framework: Transitioning from centralized top-down management to fluid, context-based situational leadership across frontline teams.Eradicating the Decision Bottleneck: Moving past micro-management to delegate true operational authority and build high-accountability team workflows.Slowing Down to Speed Up: Implementing structured white space and calendar boundaries to optimize executive cognitive capacity and eliminate burnout.The Co-Created Trust Mandate: Constructing permanent internal organizational alignment through consistent, small-scale process transparency and relationship design.ConclusionThe conversation with Julia Felton underscores that elite organizational leadership is fundamentally a discipline of presence, trust, and shared operational responsibility rather than top-down control. By standardizing internal corporate governance, shifting decision-making rights closer to the frontline, and ruthlessly protecting human-centric connection points, business leaders can transform a rigid, volatile setup into a highly structured, self-sustaining corporate asset.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

Raised: When Jesus Calls the Dead to Life – John 11:27–57 In Episode 141 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore one of the most powerful miracles in all of Scripture—the raising of Lazarus in John 11:27–57. As grief, doubt, hope, and faith collide, Jesus declares Himself to be “the resurrection and the life” before calling Lazarus from the tomb. Together, they unpack what this miracle reveals about the heart of God, the power of belief, and how Jesus often works in ways that stretch our faith beyond what we can see. This chapter is not only about a man being raised from the dead—it's about a Savior who brings life into every place that feels hopeless, buried, or beyond redemption. If you've ever wondered whether God can still move in what feels impossible, this conversation is a reminder that Jesus specializes in resurrection. What area of my life feels beyond hope—and am I willing to believe that Jesus still brings dead things back to life?____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

In this solo episode, I share recent life updates and reflect on what I've been noticing come up for me lately. After a few weeks of travel and starting my own practice, I've recognized the ways anxiety has shown up amidst an inconsistent schedule.I talk about the importance of checking in with one's capacity, recognizing urgency and guilt, and practicing slowing down instead of immediately reacting, even if it doesn't come naturally. I explore how anxiety can convince us that everything needs to be immediate and why guilt doesn't always need our attention.I hope this episode is a reminder that feeling the need to "do more" does not always need to be acted on and it's okay to check in with ourselves, and honor our limits.STAY CONNECTED:INSTA: @trustandthriveTIKOK: @trustandthriveEMAIL: trustandthrive@gmail.com

If your week feels full but not fitting, you can learn more at mikevardy.com/yourclockwiseweek.We spend a lot of time talking about how to do more. What we talk about far less — and what might matter far more — is the question of how to pace yourself while you do it. Not as a wellness concept or a vague self-care suggestion, but as a genuine strategy for sustaining quality, avoiding collapse, and staying aligned with what actually matters to you over time.Elizabeth Svoboda is the author of The Art of Pacing: A Guide to Balancing Shorter-Term Demands with Long-Term Thriving, and this conversation covers a lot of ground in the best possible way. Elizabeth is a science journalist whose work has appeared in the New York Times, Psychology Today, and many other publications. Her book grew out of a thirty-year reckoning with her own pacing failures — a culture of maximum output with no equivalent emphasis on what you leave to the side. What she built from that is something both research-grounded and deeply practical.Six Discussion PointsPacing without purpose is just slowing down — knowing where you're headed is what makes a deliberate pace possible at all, and this is where most productivity advice quietly falls apartThe difference between racing and pacing is a single letter, but the difference in outcomes compounds over years — top athletes understand this through tapering, and the rest of us are still catching upBurnout is not an event, it's a trajectory — heart rate variability (HRV) tracking and tools like the Maslach Burnout Inventory can help you see the train coming before it hits, shifting you from reactive to proactiveRigid, hyper-granular scheduling is brittle by design — adaptability and flexibility aren't the enemies of structure, they're the only way a structure survives contact with real life"Restorying" — the hero's journey applied inward — is a surprisingly useful alignment tool: when what you say you want doesn't match how you're spending your time, the story reveals itBrief candles, those short moments of focused, selfless attention toward others, can change the entire arc of someone's life and cost almost nothing in terms of time or energyThree Connection PointsElizabeth Svoboda's website: elizabethsvoboda.com — find her book The Art of Pacing and her broader journalism workTimeCrafting: The connection between pacing and intentional time use is at the heart of my own framework — if this episode resonated, you might find this useful: Stop Managing Your Time.

In a world that keeps telling you to learn faster, what if slowing down was actually the smarter move? In this Squiggly Shortcut, Sarah makes the case for slow learning, and shares three questions and three actions to help you get started.

The Delay, The Death, and The Resurrection Life - John 11:1-26 In Episode 141 - When Jesus hears that His close friend Lazarus is sick, He doesn't rush to his side—He waits. In this episode, we unpack the tension of John 11:1-26. Why does God sometimes seem slow to answer our pain? We'll look at the heartbreak of Mary and Martha, the raw humanity of Jesus, and the staggering moment He redefines reality by declaring, "I am the resurrection and the life." If you're sitting in a season of waiting or wondering if God has forgotten you, this episode is a powerful reminder that His delays are never denials. Where in your life right now does it feel like Jesus is arriving 'too late'—and how does knowing He delayed on purpose with Lazarus change how you view that waiting room? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

For most of my life, I thought I was healing because I understood what happened. What I've realized is that understanding and grieving are not the same thing. In this episode, I share the life I didn't have, the survival adaptations that shaped me, and the hidden cost of carrying pain for decades without fully processing it. I talk about hyper-independence, people-pleasing, achievement, grief, identity, and the ways I mistook survival strategies for who I was. I share how slowing down created space to acknowledge what was lost, reconnect with myself, and ask a deeper question: Who am I underneath everything I had to become to survive? This is a conversation about grief, healing, faith, and finally putting down the weight I was never meant to carry.
