Podcasts about slowing down

Welcome back to Let's Try This Again—I'm your host, B Simone, and this episode is both real and refreshingly honest as I pull back the curtain on my own journey with hustle culture, rest, and self-discovery. I get vulnerable about how hard it's been to slow down after years of being in constant “go mode”—from juggling an at-home podcast setup (y'all, production is NOT for the weak!) to taking real breaks from social media and learning how to be still without feeling guilty. I share what I learned during my week with a friend in Kansas, how witnessing the daily grit of single moms inspired me, and why taking time to reset is actually a game changer—not a setback. PLUS, I open up about a surprise date that made me reflect on femininity, friendship, and my desire to be truly seen for who I am. Whether you're struggling to rest, navigating your own self-worth, or just need permission to date from a place of wholeness, this episode is packed with relatable stories, insight, and motivational takeaways you can use right now.//SPONSORS//Arya: Go to Arya.Fyi/trythisagain and get 15% off your first order.Liquid IV: Squeeze the most out of your Summer with Liquid I.V.

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. As the President & Founder of Gravitas Detroit, Jan brings a wealth of expertise and a passion for transforming company cultures. Additionally, she is the host of the Automotive Leaders Podcast, where she shares insightful conversations with industry visionaries. Jan is also the author of AutoCulture 2.0, a groundbreaking book that challenges the traditional leadership model prevalent in the automotive world. With her extensive...

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.

If you've ever found yourself feeling stuck, burned out, or constantly “too busy,” this conversation is your invitation to slow down and check in with yourself. Kate shares why high-achievers often resist reflection, what it really means to pause with intention, and simple ways to reconnect with what matters most. You'll learn: What purposeful reflection is—and isn't Why so many successful people avoid it Three practical approaches you can try right now The Summer Solstice Check-In Micro-Reflection Rituals Treating vacations as integration time How to use reflection to design a fall season that feels more intentional and aligned This is your reminder: you don't have to earn the right to slow down.

Episode 172: Rest Shaming – Why We Feel Guilty for Slowing DownHave you ever felt guilty for taking a nap? Or judged yourself for not doing more?In this episode, we're unpacking rest shaming—that internal (and external) voice that says rest is lazy, indulgent, or selfish.We'll explore:

Send us a textWhen Josh Wheeler founded Be Broadcast PR 3 years ago, he was determined to create something different—a PR agency focused not just on securing media coverage, but on telling meaningful stories that unite rather than divide. His journey from a tiny village in the West Midlands to becoming a broadcast PR specialist offers fascinating insights into what truly matters in communication.(Josh joined Chris Grimes in the Show to 'experience the format from within' to explore the possibility of lending his PR expertise to Chris's special new series-strand to the Show, 'Legacy Life Reflections': To record their or your Life Story, for posterity. "Lest we forget...Before its too late")During this intimate conversation, Josh reveals how some of his most formative experiences came not from formal education or corporate training, but from early jobs like making tea in a care home at age 11 and working the tills at Tesco. These roles taught him that despite our apparent differences, people from all walks of life share fundamental similarities—a philosophy that now informs Be Broadcast's approach to storytelling.Josh speaks candidly about his struggles with burnout, discovering that "being busy doesn't necessarily mean being fulfilled," and the challenge of finding balance in a high-pressure industry. His advice to slow down and "be more swan-like"—appearing calm while paddling furiously beneath the surface—offers valuable wisdom for anyone navigating today's frenetic workplace culture.What makes this episode particularly compelling is Josh's perspective on human connection in an age increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence. While acknowledging AI's transformative potential, he reminds us that technology should complement rather than replace authentic human interaction: "We need to remember our place in all of that."Whether you're a PR professional or simply someone interested in how we communicate and connect in an increasingly fragmented world, Josh's insights about building businesses with integrity, finding inspiration in "scrappy, imperfect people," and creating work environments that prioritize people over profit will resonate deeply. His call to action—to speak to neighbors, smile at strangers, and engage with people outside our usual circles—offers a simple but powerful antidote to our increasingly isolated digital lives.Tune in next week for more stories of 'Distinction & Genius' from The Good Listening To Show 'Clearing'.

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.

A school bus driver worried speeding cars might one day seriously hurt or even kill his pasengers, says his DIY slow down signs are working. His route is mostly rural Dunedin and when he stops to pick up the kids, cars speed by at 100 kilometres an hour. For a year he asked Dunedin City Council and New Zealand Transport Agency to put signs up warning motorists of this, but he's now taken matters into his own hands. Ken Schumacher spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

High achievers often rush into execution mode before clearly defining desired outcomes, leading to misaligned results and wasted resources. Slowing down to clarify what success actually looks like becomes a force multiplier for your time and effort.In today's episode you will learn about:• Our natural instinct as high achievers is to jump straight into building mode when improving processes or programs• Planning feels slow while execution gives us the satisfaction of immediate progress• A critical question before any initiative: "What result do I actually want this to create?"• Case study of an executive revamping a leadership program by first defining desired outcomes• Defining impact before building prevents misaligned decisions and team confusion• Clarity upfront becomes a "force multiplier" for your time and resources• Apply this principle when rebuilding processes, restructuring teams, or launching new services• When leading others, ask "what outcomes do we want to achieve together?"If today's insight resonated and you're ready for more clarity, structure and progress in your business, let's connect.

The episode concludes with actionable takeaways for listeners to implement in their lives.   Takeaways Success looks like being able to do what keeps me home.

John Paterson had every reason to chase growth. The hype was real. The demand was there. But instead of opening more restaurants, he doubled down on one—and built a brand that runs deep instead of wide. Raised inside family-run restaurants in Alabama, John's path to ownership wasn't fast—but it was intentional. And at Frankie's in Nashville, that intention is baked into every decision: from the way they hire and train, to how they lead, serve, and scale.In this episode, we talk about the risks he refused to take, the systems he uses to keep team culture strong, and the belief that building something worth coming back to is more powerful than just being new.

Is bigger always better? Not so fast. In this episode, I sit down with Jonathan Bennett—former hospital exec turned consultant and coach—to talk about what happens when growth leads to burnout, how boards can shift from control to connection, and why slowing down might be the smartest move your nonprofit ever makes. We explore strategy, leadership transitions, and the power of authentic relationships—in and out of the boardroom. Episode Highlights 02:16 Career Journey and Insights 07:04 Importance of Organizational Alignment 14:48 Governance and Relational Leadership 20:19 Indigenous Approaches to Meetings My guest for this episode is Jonathan Bennett. He left an executive role at a large hospital to strike out on his own, founding a management consulting firm. And, for 10 years, things were great. The company grew–became a B Corp and served hundreds of organizations. The problem was, he was unfulfilled. After a successful exit in which he went through a management buyout of his company, Jonathan founded his coaching practice so that he could fulfill his purpose to create an intimate space for leaders who need to be listened to deeply. Jonathan Bennett is an advisor and executive coach for founders, CEOs and C- Suite leaders who have a purpose in the world but need help solving their organization's toughest obstacles. Jonathan takes his experience as a CEO, board member, and founder to his coaching. As a feminist and social justice advocate, Jonathan brings a progressive approach to his work so that clients always find a way out of even the most complex challenges. He resides in Ontario, Canada with his family and two dogs. A published author, he's written seven literary books.
