Podcasts about slowing down

Isn't it fascinating that we can work so hard and do all of the things, yet still feel a lack of fulfillment? And when we do have those moments of fulfillment, we often credit it to hustling and overachieving, when that's not actually where it's coming from. Your next level of success is not going to come from pushing harder or spreading yourself more thin; it is going to come as you can slow down and hold still long enough for your brilliance to begin to shine.Today, we are talking about a topic very close to my heart: wholeness over hustle–and how finding balance in life allows you to heal from burnout. This theme has been woven throughout this podcast over the years, but I wanted to explore it exclusively today for one very special reason. The book I have co-authored with 12 of my Master Coaches, She Rises: Insights and Wisdom from the Women of the Masterful Coach Collective, is coming out this month, and my chapter is all about why prioritizing wholeness over hustle needs to be the new standard for high-achieving women who want to actually create the life they desire.For too long, hustle culture has conditioned us to believe that we must constantly do more. Not only are we supposed to work harder when it comes to business and finances, but in our personal lives as well. There is pressure—especially for women—to be the glue holding everything together. This is not sustainable, and it's ultimately causing unbelievably high levels of stress in more of us every day. If you are a high achiever and you're ready to feel at peace, deeply alive, and actually fulfilled, instead of like you're always running on empty, this episode is truly for you.When you intentionally make space in your life for more downtime and fewer things on your to-do list, not only will you be able to achieve more, but you will connect more in relationships and live the fullest, richest life possible. Truly mastering yourself, your life, and your emotions comes when you know your worth beyond the confines of hustle culture and can cultivate the stillness necessary for real success. I've witnessed the power of this magical secret to personal fulfillment firsthand, and I'm passionate about teaching each of you to achieve it too. Let's do it!What you'll learn:How my chapter of She Rises provides specific evidence of how slowing down is a strategy for successWhy you can break the pattern of overachieving when you value yourself moreWhat over-responsibility means and a surprising statistic about how it impacts womenHow to begin to know your worth outside of hustle cultureWhy inspiration and creativity can't flourish when you are overwhelmed by trying to prove yourselfYou can read the full show notes here.Connect with Molly ClaireThe new book, She Rises: Insights and Wisdom from the Women of the Masterful Coach Collective, is coming soon!

We were created for so much more than rushing through life. It's easy for everything in our lives to seem fine on the surface. But deep down inside, there's often another story at play―one of overwhelm, stress and heartache, of finding ourselves stuck in old patterns. Rather than feeling the weight of it all, it's easier to spend our days on autopilot, ignoring the noise inside. But what if the peace and relief we most long for comes from tuning in with what's happening inside, instead of tuning it out? This is what author and therapist A.C. Seiple and I explore today as we talk about her new book The Sacred Art of Slowing Down. With such gentleness, wisdom, and experience, A.C. invites us to connect with our bodies and get curious about the spaces within that feel most stuck―and find where we need safety, attunement and care. I hope you'll listen in.

The Cru returns for Season 5 of Radio FreeWrite! In this episode, we set fresh writing goals, reflect on unions and collective action, and laugh about Monty Python as we take on the Scots phrase ca' canny: a call to ease up, work slow, and resist.Stories this week begin at the 16:30 mark and explore resistance in many forms: a poetic plea for freedom from work and a greening earth, a Joycean sketch of paralysis on the farm, a futuristic Uber ride tinged with climate anxiety, a fantasy where unchecked power threatens destruction, and a Labor Day reflection on the risks and strength of workers.Prompt: Ca' canny — Scots expression meaning go easy, don't exert yourself, go slow; also in trade union parlance: work to rule or restrict output so as to exert pressure on employers.Like this weeks episode and wish you could read as well as listen?

Stephanie sits down with author Hannah Brencher to discuss the practical power of unplugging from technology to deepen our connection with God, others, and oneself. Drawing from her book, The Unplugged Hours, and her personal journey, Hannah shares practical insights and spiritual wisdom that offer a clear pathway for anyone feeling overwhelmed, distracted, or disconnected. Unplugging is less about abandoning technology and more about reclaiming the present, deepening contentment, and embracing our true identity in Christ. Through practical disciplines, humble self-awareness, and a commitment to delighting in God right where we are, we find the spacious, unhurried lives that our souls crave. 1. Recognizing the Need to Unplug Hannah recounts her realization that constant connection to her phone was leaving her exhausted, burnt out, and spiritually depleted. She felt a persistent need to always be “on,” a sensation many people can relate to in today's always-online world. Symptoms that signal it might be time to unplug include: Feeling tired and perpetually “on” Burnout and lack of creativity Scattered attention and apathy towards loved ones False sense of control by consuming endless information Numbing and anxiety, worsened by exposure to social media algorithms designed to keep us engaged through fear or desire Unplugging, for Hannah, didn't mean abandoning her phone entirely, but initiating a conscious journey toward better habits and rhythms. 2. The Power of Contentment and Presence Hannah acknowledges and embraces the struggle—and ultimately, the spiritual discipline—of contentment. Social media and the internet constantly convince us that fulfillment is elsewhere, which removes us from both the present moment (time) and from our current environment (space). Hannah draws from the Apostle Paul's words about learning contentment, framing it as a dance that takes practice and humility. For example, Hannah's practice of “grounding” by jotting down details of the present moment (in a notebook, not a phone) helps her drop into her actual life, savoring little joys, and affirming that “this is enough.” Unlike capturing moments for others to see on social media, this form of slow documentation, she says, nurtures personal satisfaction and removes the compulsion for outside validation. 3. Rethinking Productivity and Success Stephanie and Hannah highlight the toxicity of equating productivity with worth. Hannah shares how unplugging redefined her sense of value from accomplishment and approval to simply being present with God. True productivity, she discovered, isn't about checking boxes, but about what God is cultivating within us through periods of stillness—patience, peace, faithfulness. Success, then, transforms from external achievement to delighting in God and being aware of His presence. Hannah echoes Stephanie's insight that “a successful life is a succession of days and moments where I'm delighting in God.” 4. Practicing Stillness and Receiving God's Presence Jesus' example comes alive as the epitome of unhurried purpose—accomplishing all the Father's will without rushing. Unplugging isn't just for personal peace, but to become truly available to God, hearing His voice and responding with readiness and openness (“Here I am, Lord”). Through intentionally slowing down and savoring “vegetable moments”—Hannah's metaphor for embracing the slow, nourishing parts of life—we open ourselves to the real rewards: deeper relationship with God and others. MORE ABOUT HANNAH BRENCHER Hannah Brencher says,  “I love teaching individuals how to build intentional lives they love through the power of habit and meaningful routines. I am the founder of The World Needs More Love Letters, author of 4 books, a TED Speaker, and an online educator teaching others how to establish important disciplines within their lives. Words are my everything and nothing fires me up more than getting to teach people about the power of discipline. Establishing better discipline was an essential piece in dealing with depression and I love seeing the freedom it unlocks in others as they establish better habits and rhythms in their own life. I'm a proud New Englander living in city of Atlanta with my husband Lane and our little girl Novalee. You can find us trying out new restaurants across the city, getting dangerously cutthroat over playing Battleship, playing at the park, and cozying up to watch a thriller (or Moana if Novi gets to pick) with our rescue pup Tuesday.” More at https://hannahbrenchercreative.com/  MORE ABOUT “THE UNPLUGGED HOURS” Join the Challenge: One Thousand Unplugged Hours in One Year Former social media addict, Hannah Brencher discovered first-hand that turning off her phone had a substantial impact on her mental health, relationships, time management, and outlook on the world. Like so many of us, Hannah had been turning to her phone to cope with life in a time of isolation and uncertainty. But those coping mechanisms had become habits she didn't know how to break until she truly committed herself to one simple yet profound act: log 1,000 phone-free hours in a year. Now, in The Unplugged Hours, she demonstrates how the act of powering down and reducing the habit of a constantly plugged-in lifestyle can change your entire life. No matter what you do for a living, how much time your apps save you, or how much entertainment your phone brings, it is possible to unplug—and rediscover the richness of life on the other side. A powerful weaving of memoir, cultural commentary, and spiritual insights, this life-changing book will help you: Reclaim your ability to be present and engaged with the world around you. Swap the hurried, constant pace of technology for a steadier, more rooted way of living. Establish your own unplugged rituals and rhythms in daily life. The Unplugged Hours gives you the practical ideas and spiritual inspiration you need to stop scrolling and start living. So join the challenge: put your phone down and live your life.

Details and registration here: https://www.gospelspice.com/prayer  There are a few things in our Christian life that we know we should do more, or at least better – and prayer just might top the list. Prayer is a mystery. Why would a conversation with a human have any influence on God's eternal, sovereign plan? It defies logic, and beckons love. How can God, the Almighty Lord of Hosts, be this close, this personal? It defies understanding, and beckons involvement. But, lack of time, inspiration, and discipline, combined with the ruthless tyranny of our busy lives, push prayer to the periphery, to the “one day I'll get to it” pile. And yet, we can excel at what we endeavor to undertake. So, why isn't prayer more of a spiritual priority? Could we develop a mindset around prayer that made it attractive, inspiring, even maybe delightful? What if we attuned our spiritual ears to listen to God, and our spiritual eyes to see His provision? As an unassuming student, I'm going to humbly offer to share the little I have learned from others about the joy of prayer. I will give us theology, practical tips, and useful resources, sharing what works for me as we, together, learn to pray. If you find prayer intimidating, or if your lack of prayer makes you feel guilty or “less than,” then this is the place for you! If you have been a student of prayer for many years, this is the place for you too! If you have breath in your lungs, then prayer can become one of the deepest joys of your day. Don't miss out! A PERSPECTIVE ABOUT PRAYER To pray is to believe that God not only hears, but that He responds. It is to stand in the gap for a broken world, wielding the authority of Christ, empowered by the Spirit, and trusting in the goodness of the Father. The question is not whether prayer works, but whether we are willing to pray the kinds of prayers that invite God's Kingdom into the darkest places of the earth—and of our own hearts. We may never fully understand the mechanics of prayer, or how it intersects with God's sovereignty, but we are not called to understand everything. We are called to be faithful. And faithfulness means showing up—in prayer, in persistence, in expectation. So today, let us pray not only for the comfort of our hearts, but for the transformation of the world. Let us take our place as image-bearers, co-laborers, and co-heirs. Let us believe that God is still listening—and still acting. Because He is. There's only one way to find out what might happen when we truly pray like this. Let's begin. THE MINDSET BEHIND THIS COURSE Before we begin, let me tell you the obvious: I don't really know how to pray. I'm a humble student and absolute beginner at the holy endeavor that is prayer. So, this course isn't really about what I've learned, or any wisdom I might have gathered. But, I've sat at the feet of many prayer warriors over the decades, through books and teachings. So, I'll share what I learned from them. Humility is going to be our primary heart posture! With each lesson, I will offer a few thoughts, practices, and ideas – with much humility, and not taking myself too seriously. I will also share her favorite books and resources about prayer. FInally, I will introduce you to some of the most influential prayer warriors of our history as the Body of Christ. Most importantly, I will invite YOU to pray! Learning to pray comes from praying. Our humble ambition is to inspire you to pray, and to give you a few tips on how to do that. Then, it's up to you! Prayer is a lifelong endeavor. Let's make it delightful together!

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO—just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Let's talk about systems. A true system is when an activity—or group of activities—can run without your direct involvement. That's when you know you've built something sustainable. Remember back in the discovery process, we said every job and every industry has its own personality? Over time, each role in your business starts to take on its own rhythm and identity. That's a good thing—it's the sign of a maturing company. By nature, systems are structured, scheduled, predictable, and reliable. And when those systems are in place, the pace of your business may begin to slow—but don't mistake that for a problem. It's actually a sign of stability. Just like you needed patience with yourself during earlier growth stages, now it's time to be patient with your team. Stay the course. The payoff is coming. Like and follow this podcast to learn more. I'm Carl Gould, and this has been your #70secondCEO.  

Does slowing down feel impossible when your calendar is overflowing with school drop-offs, sports practices, work deadlines, and family commitments? You're not alone. For many working Christian moms, the beginning of the school year brings a new level of chaos — and slowing down feels like the last thing you can afford to do. But here's the truth: slowing down isn't about doing less or dropping the ball. It's about learning to walk in God's rhythm instead of the world's hustle. In this episode of the Faith Led Working Moms Podcast, we're unpacking the biblical principle that makes slowing down not only possible but practical — even in the busiest seasons of motherhood. You'll hear: The common lie moms believe about slowing down and what Scripture really says. Why God's pace is different from the world's hustle — and how His presence brings true rest. 2 simple, practical ways to start slowing down in the middle of carpools, practices, and school-year chaos. Slowing down doesn't mean falling behind — it means showing up with more peace, presence, and strength because you're walking in step with Jesus. ✨ Free Resources for You: Want more encouragement and practical tools?

Zach and Kevin welcome Dr. Allie Frounfelter to discuss her innovative approach to cosmetic dentistry using Trial Smiles. Dr. Frounfelter shares her journey from a high-volume "bread and butter" dental practice to a more balanced and fulfilling one, emphasizing the importance of slowing down to speed up. The episode details the step-by-step process of creating and using a 3D-printed resin shell, or Trial Smile, to help patients visualize their potential new smile. Dr. Frounfelter also highlights the importance of incorporating the entire dental team in the process and discusses how this patient-centered approach, along with the right technology and systems, has transformed her practice. Key Takeaways Invest in Digital Technology: Dr. Frounfelter and her husband significantly transformed their practice by investing in digital tools, including a CBCT, intraoral scanner, and 3D printer. They initially sought a CBCT but came back from a conference with a full suite of digital tools. The Trial Smile Process: A Trial Smile is a thin, 3D-printed resin shell that fits over a patient's natural teeth, allowing them to try on a new smile. This is a crucial step in cosmetic dentistry consultations as it offers a tangible "try before you buy" experience. Difference from Traditional Wax-ups: Unlike a traditional bis-acryl wax-up, a Trial Smile is easily placed and removed, making it repeatable and mess-free. This allows patients to get a clear and instant before-and-after comparison. Team Involvement is Crucial: Allie stresses the importance of training and involving the entire team in the new workflow. Her clinical director, Brandon, handles the initial patient conversation, photos, and records, while a dental assistant, Emma, designs the smiles using specialized software like Exocad. Slowing Down to Speed Up: By implementing new systems and focusing on comprehensive cases, Allie and Adam were able to move away from a high-volume model that led to burnout. They now see fewer patients but generate more revenue from cosmetic and full-mouth cases. Outsourcing Options: If a practice lacks the necessary design software or a 3D printer, they can partner with a dental lab like Roe Dental Lab, which offers a cosmetic design service to create and even print the Trial Smile for them.

The colorful feathers and loud songs of male songbirds often catch a birder's attention first. Observing females often means birding more slowly, noticing subtle differences in plumage and behavior, says Joanna Wu, who's part of a group called the Galbatrosses that's encouraging birders to spend more time identifying female birds. Fellow Galbatross Purbita Saha says that watching for females can help us understand birds on a deeper level by observing them as individuals rather than just species.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

You don't need more information; you need interruption. This episode cuts through the noise of conventional self-improvement and exposes the core contradiction sabotaging high-functioning women every day: the gap between what you know and how you actually live. You've read the books, checked every box, recited the affirmations. But inside, you're circling, chasing clarity but defaulting to old performances. Insight feels good. Integration costs something. Emotional mastery isn't therapy. It's a full-scale rewiring, a spiritual, cognitive, and strategic recalibration that stops the outsourcing of your knowing and returns you to self-trust and embodied clarity. Inside this episode, you'll learn: Why understanding is not integration, and why most self-help keeps you in elegant stasisHow to recognize the subtle difference between action and alignment (and why hustle is often just avoidance in heels)The true sign of emotional maturity: how fast you recover your center, not how well you perform for applause Here's your call to action: Pause the chase. Ask yourself what God has made unshakably clear, and refuse to move until you've anchored back to that core. If you're ready to unlearn the patterns that keep you circling, reach out and RESET. This episode is not for anyone content with sounding wise but living in contradiction.  00:00:47 – The Gap Between Knowing & Living 00:01:25 – Action vs. Alignment 00:02:34 – Why Women Get Stuck 00:03:18 – Mischelle's Story: The Music Dream 00:05:49 – Learning to Listen for Alignment 00:06:41 – Integration Begins Internally 00:07:27 – Slowing Down to Break the Cycle 00:09:07 – Insight vs. Integration 00:09:28 – Cognitive Restructuring & Spiritual Renewal 00:10:27 – Becoming vs. Fixing 00:11:12 – The High-Functioning Trap 00:11:53 – Signs of Integration 00:12:34 – Consistency & Anchoring 00:13:29 – Living with Alignment 00:14:30 – The Pain of Misalignment 00:15:41 – The Cost of Not Integrating 00:16:49 – Reflective Questions for Integration 00:17:38 – Integration as a Daily Practice 00:18:22 – Real Change is a Process 00:18:46 – You're Not Starting from Scratch

Here's the truth: “Getting paid to be you” has been sold to us like it's the holy grail of freedom. But here's the part no one tells you—it can just as easily become another performance trap. Another hustle. Another way of proving instead of actually living.In this episode, I'm walking you through the alchemy of dethroning this shiny mantra and what it really takes to feel free in your work and your life. Spoiler: it's not more courses, more clients, more followers, or another spiritual playbook for success.We're getting into:Why chasing more never gets you where you think it will.How my business went from defining me… to simply being what I do.The subtle but powerful difference between branding yourself and becoming yourself.The dance between survival mode, choice points, and actual maturity.And yes—a story about Benji, pasta, parmesan, and salt (because you know I can't leave out the messy, human parts).If you've been trying to “make it work” by being more visible, more polished, more everything… this one's for you. Because the alchemical approach to getting paid to be you isn't about performing harder. It's about slowing down, purifying what's in the way, and finally becoming the version of you who can walk through the right doors.Listen with your body, not just your mind. Something new wants to move through you.Send us a message and let us know what you love about this episodeImportant Links: www.Megthompson.com Attuned - CLICK HERE Let's Connect on Instagram - CLICK HERE
