Podcasts about slowing down

Send us a textEntrepreneurship teaches us to move fast: fail fast, scale fast, bounce back faster. But here's the truth—when you're always in overdrive, you're not leading, you're redlining. And eventually, that pace will cost you your clarity, your creativity, and your joy.In this episode of Female Founder Unplugged, I'm unpacking why slowing down might just be the most powerful leadership strategy you've been overlooking. Because real growth doesn't come from constant hustle—it comes from creating space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters.Episode Highlights:⏱️ Why our cultural obsession with speed leaves leaders stuck in fear and urgency

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

This episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more Watch the full video on YouTube - Click hereIf you're still leading like it's 1995, or worse, 1985, you're holding this industry back. We've spent decades obsessing over products and systems, yet barely stopped to ask ourselves: What kind of leaders are we? That's the question Jan wants you to sit with. Because if we don't change how we lead, the rest doesn't matter. The truth is, the Command-and-control style is still prevalent today, especially in moments of uncertainty. Too many leaders retreat into control when what's really needed is trust and empowerment. That reaction is driving away the very talent the industry needs to stay competitive. The solution? Building a culture where people can make decisions, collaborate across silos, and adapt quickly. But it's not just about shifting behavior—it's also about how leaders communicate change.. When rolling out new tech, leaders need to involve people. Otherwise, the change will fail, not because of the tool but because the people weren't part of the journey.That's when Jan introduces the idea of the leadership statement. This is about sitting down, reflecting on your values, thinking about the leaders who shaped you, and being honest about the kind of leader you want to be. We're so used to asking our teams for commitment. What if, instead, you asked yourself what you are committing to them? What are you promising as their leader?Jan shares an example from Goodyear CEO Mark Stewart. His leadership commitment? “I'm in 1000%.” He didn't just say it; he moved to Ohio to back it up. That's what authentic leadership looks like.The clock's ticking. Chinese OEMs are gaining ground, and the window to evolve is closing fast. If we don't change our leadership and culture now, no amount of AI, tech, or process improvement will save us.It starts with you. The way you lead, the culture you create, and the commitments you're willing to make.Themes discussed in this episode:Why the automotive industry can't compete globally with 1990s leadership modelsHow to evaluate and improve your leadership style to match today's industry needsWhy trust and empowerment are key to keeping young talent in automotiveWhy building a strong leadership culture is critical to EV and supply chain transformationHow automotive leaders fall into micromanagement during crisis—and how to break the habitThe importance of writing a real, personal leadership commitmentWhy Chinese automakers are taking the lead in the global market and what legacy OEMs must do to catch upYour HostJan Griffiths is the architect of cultural change in the automotive industry.

In today's fast-paced world, Christian leaders are often caught on the “ministry hamster wheel”—spinning endlessly with meetings, sermons, crises, and expectations. But what if the most radical, missional act we could take isn't to do more, but to slow down? In this episode, Pete Scazzero calls us to break free from the cycle of overload and distraction by embracing a countercultural rhythm of life rooted in Jesus. Drawing from personal experience and church history, Pete shows how slowing down is not self-care—it's spiritual resistance. It's leadership. It's mission. This is the first episode in a new series on the 8 Marks of an Emotionally Healthy Culture, beginning with the most foundational mark: Slowing down to be with God before doing for Him. If you're longing for a church culture marked by peace instead of anxiety, depth instead of shallowness, and prayerful leadership instead of constant reaction—this episode is for you.

In today's episode, Rachel is talking to you from Greece as she visits on a family vacation. Greece holds a special place in Rachel's heart, as this was a country she visited with her mom when she was little, but also on her first solo trips without parents, and even on her honeymoon. Reminiscing on all the trips in the past leads Rachel to today - now on a trip with her little family. She talks about the magic of summer, of playing in the water with her children, of visiting ancient temples and legendary trees, and of really good food and really good wine.  But even surrounded by all this beauty, it can be hard to slow down if life back home is still busy. Do you have trouble slowing down in the summer? Are you savoring these moments as much as you could be? And how can you support yourself and your nervous system so you can take it all in and enjoy exactly where you are? Today's episode is full of storytelling, pondering, and a beautiful reminder to appreciate this moment - it's all you've got.
