Are you fun? Do you have a spark in your eye or are you just a sad sack? You put on your dating face. Your interview face. You're all excited and lighthearted at first. Then what the fuck happens? You turn serious. You start complaining. You focus on what's not happening instead of asking yourself - does this actually work for me? If your happiness depends on external circumstances, you are screwed. In this episode, Tracy explores: * Why we go from fun to fucking serious when expectations aren't met * How much you complain about the person or job (that's your clue) * What happens when you lose your sense of humor * Why everything doesn't have to be your way * How to stop sacrificing your wellbeing for stories in your head "You have a choice. You do. Stop giving up your happiness in favor of trying to change someone else or feeling stuck in a prison you made." ~ Tracy Crossley

Hey there, fearless entrepreneurs! In this episode, I had an amazing chat with the brilliant Kelly Cookson, a marketing strategist and email marketing expert. We dove deep into how she built a six-figure business working just 20 hours a week, and let me tell you, it's totally possible to break free from that traditional 9-to-5 grind! We talked about retraining your brain to work smarter, not harder, and how to structure your life so you're not sacrificing your whole existence to a job. Kelly shared some super real stories about her journey from corporate life to entrepreneurship, including some hilarious "failed" side hustles (we've all been there!). We also get into the importance of identifying your "zone of genius" and focusing on what comes easily and joyfully to you, because, as we discovered, that's where the magic (and the money!) truly happens. Plus, we explore why having a strong growth mindset and investing in yourself through coaching is absolutely vital for entrepreneurial success. We also tackle the nitty-gritty of revenue-generating tasks and why consistent marketing, even the "boring" kind, is key to avoiding the feast-or-famine cycle. Kelly spills the tea on how she prioritizes her own business growth and sets up automated systems so her business can thrive even when she's not at her desk. If you're ready to create a blended life that feels free, fulfilling, and fully aligned, this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow Kelly: Instagram: @cheerupmarketing Website: https://www.cheerupmarketing.com/ And don't forget to check out Kelly's THE SPARK email marketing template membership: https://pages.cheerupmarketing.com/spark Follow Katerina: Instagram: @Katerina.Kormas Website: www.katerinakormas.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ready to Design Your Perfect-for-You Lifestyle and Business?

In this high-energy episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ashe in America unpack a torrent of explosive headlines. They start with the Houthis' missile and drone strike on a Greek cargo ship in the Red Sea, analyzing whether the timing was meant to provoke a wider conflict just as Netanyahu met with Trump. The discussion moves to Trump's comments on sending more defensive weapons to Ukraine and Putin's unusual public deference when taking Trump's call mid-event. The hosts then dismantle the DOJ's claim there was no Epstein client list and no credible blackmail evidence, pointing out contradictions and gaps in the official narrative. They examine the bizarre missing minute of prison footage and debate whether Ghislaine Maxwell is quietly cooperating behind the scenes. On the domestic front, they cover ICE sweeps in Los Angeles that set off citywide meltdowns, including dramatic demands for federal agents to leave. Rounding out the show are chilling details about coordinated attacks on ICE and Border Patrol, signs that violence could escalate as Democrats float ideas about civil disobedience and even martyrdom. With sharp humor and relentless skepticism, this episode challenges the official stories from every angle.

Send us a text"In this episode of Besties and the Books, Liz and Ashley dive deep into Glow of the Everflame, book two in Penn Cole's Kindred's Curse Saga. They start off with their spoiler-free reviews, giving the book high praise for character growth, richer world-building, and a masterful slow-burn romance. They give a brief 5 sentence book summary. They also share some fun personal updates, from movie nights to dog mishaps. Once in spoiler territory, they provide a detailed five-sentence plot summary and discuss their favorite tropes like found family, royal intrigue, and strong side characters, all while keeping the tone warm, relatable, and full of fangirl energy."We interviewed Penn Cole, we took a deep dive into Spark of the Everflame, and today we're continuing on with our Kindred's Curse Saga series with our deep dive into book 2: Glow of the Everflame. We discuss why this series, and the FMC Diem Bellator in particular, stray away from expected fantasy conventions by defining strength in a myriad of ways and by emphasizing the importance of embracing the power all of us have within ourselves. Emotion is not inherently weak or feminine and logic is not strong or inherently masculine. Diem consistently acknowledges that working in an either/or framework is impossible and harmful, and uniquely recognizes that the only way to truly be the leader she is destined to be is through both/and thinking, feeling, and problem solving. We talk about the MMC Luther, and whether or not he's a feminist, we break down our favorite and least favorite parts, tropes, and characters, share reviews, and discuss whether or not we're looking forward to reading the sequels.

Morphine, anyone? The clash continues - It will take a true badass to turn the tides.... wait what is Craigory doing?
Hey daar lieve luisteraar, Langzaam maar zeker begin ik meer en meer terug in alignment te komen. in deze uitzending van de Miracle Town Radio Show neem ik je mee in de 5 mm movement en hoe die me weer helpt om het ineens helemaal anders te zien. Wat als we eens stoppen met ons te focussen op de 'empire statebuilding' en we de eerste 5 mm weer voldoende laten zijn? Wat als onze enige job echt JOY is en we de 'heavy lifting' aan het universum overlaten, wat gebeurt er dan? Theme song voor deze aflevering is Bruce Springsteens 'Dancing in the Dark: You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark, this gun is for hire, even if we're just dancing in the dark.' Omdat wij het (resultaat) nog niet kunnen zien wil niet zeggen dat je spark geen effect heeft! Verder staat de Wonderlijke Wet van Oorzaak en Gevolg centraal. Oftewel de Wonderlijke Wet van Zaaien en Oogsten. Als we te gefocust raken op het resultaat (het Oogsten/ Gevolg) dan gaan we streven in plaats van de Wonderlijke Wetten te léven. En wat je zaait zul je oogsten. Positief óf negatief. Dát is de wet...! En dat had ik dus weer eens aan den lijve kunnen ondervinden. Deze uitzending van de The Miracle Town Radio Show is gesponsord door: Charlie en de Wonderlijke Wetten van Juf Universe. Nu in een fijne Special Summer Sale!

#1 New York Times bestselling author, Jodi Picoult, spoke with me about writing for Wonder Woman, adapting books for musical theater, and the question of Shakespeare's true authorship in her upcoming novel BY ANY OTHER NAME. Jodi Picoult is the bestselling author of 30 novels, including landmark titles such as Mad Honey – her most recent 1 million-copy bestseller – Wish You Were Here, A Spark of Light, and Small Great Things. 40 million copies of her books are in print worldwide and have been translated into 34 languages. Her forthcoming novel is BY ANY OTHER NAME (on sale 8/20; Ballantine), described as a novel about two women, centuries apart – one of whom is the real author of Shakespeare's plays – who are both forced to hide behind another name. #1 New York Times bestselling author Kristin Hannah said of the book, “You'll fall in love with Emilia Bassano, the unforgettable heroine based on a real woman that Picoult brings vividly to life in her brilliantly researched new novel.” Elle called it, “[An] inspiring work of feminist literature inspired by real historical accounts.” Jodi was also co-librettist for the stage musical adaptation of her young adult novel Between the Lines (which premiered Off-Broadway in Summer 2022), the co-librettist of the musical BREATHE, the co-librettist of the musical adaptation of The Book Thief, and she is currently at work on an adaptation of Austenland.

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeD&C [DD&C 76]“Great Shall Be Their Reward and Eternal Shall Be Their Glory”July 7 – July 13, 2025WEEK 28 SUMMARY=================Doctrine and Covenants 76 is a profound revelation given to Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon in 1832, often referred to as "The Vision." It unveils the plan of salvation and the afterlife, describing the three degrees of glory: the Celestial, Terrestrial, and Telestial kingdoms. The vision begins with a testimony of Jesus Christ and His role as the Savior. It then details the fate of those who will inherit each kingdom, emphasizing the importance of faith, repentance, and obedience to the gospel. The Celestial Kingdom is reserved for those who receive the testimony of Jesus, are baptized, and keep the commandments, becoming joint-heirs with Christ. The Terrestrial Kingdom is for honorable people who were not valiant in their testimony of Jesus. The Telestial Kingdom is for those who did not receive the gospel or the testimony of Jesus in the flesh. The revelation also touches on the fate of the sons of perdition, who deny the Holy Spirit after having received it. This section of the Doctrine and Covenants provides a comprehensive view of the afterlife, highlighting God's mercy and justice.SPARK 1: REDEFINING VICTORY================OBJECT LESSON: “I Will Reveal All Mysteries”: Unfolding Revelation CardSPARK 2: VESSELS OF WRATH===================================OBJECT LESSON: “Valiant in the Testimony of Jesus”: Temporary CastsSPARK 3: SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN=============================OBJECT LESSON: “As The Moon Differs from The Sun”: $100 Bill AnalogyCHAPTERS=========00:00:14 INTRO00:04:26 QUICK GLANCE00:07:44 SPARK 1 INSIGHTS00:16:09 SPARK 1 OBJECT LESSON00:20:20 SPARK 1 QUESTIONS00:22:20 SPARK 2 INSIGHTS00:31:06 SPARK 2 OBJECT LESSON00:35:39 SPARK 2 QUESTIONS00:38:26 SPARK 3 INSIGHTS00:47:32 SPARK 3 OBJECT LESSON00:52:28 SPARK 3 QUESTIONS00:55:31 WRAP UPLINKS=====WEB: https://www.gather.meckmom.comETSY: https://www.etsy.com/shop/meckmomINSTAGRAM: Instagram @meckmomlifePODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST DISCLAIMER=================================This podcast represents my own thoughts and opinions.

I sat down with her for her very first podcast where she shared how she got involved in the fitness world and grew quickly.

Indy Sen, ecosystem marketing lead at Canva, shares his journey through tech giants like Salesforce, Box, MuleSoft, Google, and now Canva, where he's applying his unique "messaging as an API" philosophy to build an ecosystem that serves as a powerful multiplier for the entire company.• Canva's mission of empowering the world to design has evolved from consumer beginnings to enterprise solutions• The ecosystem functions as a multiplier, helping source innovations from third-party developers and technology partners• Growth from zero to approximately 700 apps in just two years demonstrates the platform's appeal as a distribution mechanism• Design principles encourage developers to create experiences that can be completed in no more than five steps• The human connection will remain the ultimate competitive advantage even as AI transforms technology• Technical enablement must be paired with commercial enablement for ecosystem success• Creating psychological safety enables teams to work at their highest point of contribution• Zen leadership balances strategic thinking with empowering teams to navigate ambiguity• Building trust requires making decisions rather than prolonging indecision• Small acts of kindness cost nothing but are remembered far longer than professional achievementsWhat makes a technology ecosystem thrive in today's rapidly evolving landscape? For Indy Sen, the answer lies at the intersection of technical excellence and human connection.At the heart of his philosophy is what he calls "messaging as an API"—treating company messaging like clean, well-structured code that can be consistently deployed across an organization. This approach has proven incredibly effective in creating clarity around ecosystem value, both internally and externally. As Indy explains, "Ecosystem is a multiplier. It helps engender brand new innovations, source them from third-party innovators like developers and technology partners, and it's also a multiplier for the business."The conversation goes through practical go-to-market strategies, from Canva's developer experience principles to Indy's legendary "Cha-Ching" program at Salesforce that transformed how sales teams engaged with partners. We explore how modern platforms balance technical enablement (making APIs accessible) with commercial enablement (helping partners achieve business success), all while nurturing genuine human connections.Perhaps most compelling is Indy's perspective on leadership in the age of AI. His "Zen leadership" approach emphasizes psychological safety, decision-making amid ambiguity, and helping team members work at their "highest point of contribution." As he puts it, "Ambiguity is okay, indecision is not."Whether you're building a platform, leading a team, or simply interested in how technology ecosystems evolve, this conversation offers valuable insights into creating lasting value through human-centered innovation. Plus, don't miss Indy's surprisingly impressive performance in our Batman trivia challenge!Indy Sen: https://www.linkedin.com/in/indysen/Indy's Sen started on the ground floor of the Salesforce AppExchange. From there, he helped Box take on SharePoint, led developer relations at MuleSoft, did a tour of duty at Google Workspace, and even helped WeWork completely overhaul their product marketing before helping Matterport go public.Website: https://www.position2.com/podcast/Rajiv Parikh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rajivparikh/Sandeep Parikh: https://www.instagram.com/sandeepparikh/Email us with any feedback for the show: spark@postion2.com
What if passion isn't something you stumble upon—but something you bring with you? In this episode, we're flipping the script on what it means to “find your passion.” I share how I've come to understand that passion isn't found in the work, the title, or the circumstance—it's born from within. We often believe that others have more fun, more fulfillment, or more clarity because of what they do. But here's the truth: perception isn't the full story.I dive into the idea that passion produces passion—and that we can create joy and energy in our lives by choosing to show up differently. From the quote, “My job is not fun—I'm a fun person,” we explore what it looks like to lead with our own spark and bring vibrancy to even the most mundane moments.

In this bonus episode, The Spark, our founding editor Katy Cowan reunites with Kenny Gravillis for a more playful, off-the-cuff chat that lifts the lid on the personality behind the creative powerhouse. With the serious stuff out of the way, it's time to talk rules, rituals and ridiculous snacks. Kenny shares the one design rule he tries not to break (but sometimes does) and how his relationship with creativity has evolved from being a perfectionist to embracing a more open, collaborative approach with his team. There's also a loving tribute to St. Lucia, where he escapes to reset and recharge; a flashback to his pool hustling days in the Bronx; and an unexpected comfort found in a dog named Hero, who really needs to stop biting people's feet. We also hear about his favourite funeral song, the word he never wants to hear again (bandwidth), and the oversized bag of Fruit Pastilles that didn't survive the first half of Mission Impossible. And yes, there's a Tom Cruise story... because, of course, there is. This season is proudly sponsored by the School of Communication Arts.

Welcome to R&R: Revisit & Reflect, a new episode format here on the podcast. We're living in a time of information abundance (sometimes information overload) and lots of that information is about mental health and relational health! But there's a difference between consuming content and integrating it. When we consume, the information might just pass through us, whereas when we integrate, the information weaves its way into our unique story or situation, creating insight and the potential for a shift in mindset, in emotion, in belief, and in behavior. With these R&R episodes, you'll reflect and journal with Dr. Alexandra to integrate core lessons from the podcast, starting with today's conversation from the archive with the inimitable relationship expert Esther Perel. They explore relational ambivalence and how to reignite the spark inside your relationship, and within yourself, inspired by a listener's question. So, get out your favorite pen and journal and join in this summer reflection. You'll come away from this episode with:A deeper understanding of the importance of rituals in maintaining connection amidst life's challengesA new perspective on the impact of external circumstances on anxiety in your relationships.The ability to recognize and respond to your partner's bids for connection.A framework for self-reflection with actionable journaling prompts to enhance intimacy.Journaling Prompts:How do the macro issues of the world shape your love life today? To what degree are you able to give yourself permission for play and pleasure, even as the world feels so hard? What allows you to do that?In the clip, Esther reminds us that if you don't know how to turn yourself on, there's nothing your partner can do to turn you on. How are you finding ways to connect to your own aliveness? What are some things you can do this week, just for you, that could reinvigorate your internal spark? This could include engaging with nature, art, food, movement, or play.In this clip, Esther and Dr. Alexandra talk about how for a couple to create an experience together, one partner is the initiator and one is the responder. These roles aren't fixed, but which role do you do you tend to find yourself in more? What do you like about being in each position, and what's hard about each of them?“Your Midyear Refresh” on MasterClass: masterclass.com/yourmidyearrefreshCouple Therapy Certification Course from PESI: pesi.com/dralexandraOrder Dr. Alexandra's book, Love Every DaySubscribe to Dr. Alexandra's NewsletterSubmit a Listener Question

Gresham Harkless expresses his emotional and mental fatigue as he navigates the long ramp-up period, now around day 185, without yet closing his first candidate. He discusses the importance of timing and financing in matching candidates with business opportunities, noting that even when there's interest, external factors can delay progress. Gresham emphasizes his belief in "moving before you're ready," acknowledging that this mindset has propelled him forward, even without tangible results yet. Despite challenges, including a rainy day disrupting his routine and emotional exhaustion from the process, Gresham remains hopeful and committed, recognizing that persistence and preparation will pay off once the first deal is finalized.

Post-Dispatch podcasts page: https://go.stltoday.com/0hfn43 Please consider subscribing: https://go.stltoday.com/9aigz5 After his barehanded play on a slow-rolling grounder ended Tuesday night's game against the Cubs with a stirring, 8-7 Cardinals victory, third baseman Nolan Arenado talked about how much it meant to play meaningful, tense, important games against an archrival. He said he woke up excited, and hadn't been this eager to get to the ballpark in almost two years. A day early, Cubs manager Craig Counsell said he wouldn't be the "hype man" for the series. The oldest rivalry in Major League Baseball between two teams that have not left their cities, Cubs-Cardinals was long defined by one team's brand as champion and the other as lovable losers, but that's so Y2K, man. Now the rivalry happens in cycles, and for the first time in several years the Cardinals and Cubs were snug in the standings when they played this past week at Busch Stadium. Does that give the rivalry renewed verve, or does the change in schedule make it just another division series? Chicago Tribune baseball writer and Cubs beat writer Meghan Montemurro joins the Best Podcast in Baseball for a conversation at Busch Stadium (listen to that determined A/C) about the current state of the rivalry and if it has the same heat in Chicago that it experienced from the St. Louis side this past week. The pressure is on the Cardinals to chase down the Cubs, and the pressure on the Cubs, with only one guaranteed year of standout player Kyle Tucker, appears to be on winning and advancing in October now. How should that shape their trade deadline decisions? How can they shape the Cardinals' trade deadline decisions? Cubs president Jed Hoyer is in the final year of his contract, and Cardinals president John Mozeliak is in the final year of his tenure leading the Cardinals' baseball operations. Change is coming, potentially to both teams, adding another twist to the rivalry. Plus, BPIB host Derrick Goold, asks Montemurro about his theory that maybe instead of the National League Central rivals spurring the Cubs to spend like a bigger market it will be their neighborhoods on the South Side as the White Sox welcome in a new investor. A split four-game series at Busch Stadium between the Cardinals and Cubs left nothing settled between the two teams, and the final game of the series (a 3-0 victory and second consecutive shutout by the Cubs) ended with both teams emptying their dugouts to almost confront each on the field. Tempers cooled quickly, but the stage is set for their next week within two weeks for Fourth of July at Wrigley Field. Will there be fireworks? The Best Podcast in Baseball, in its 13th year as one of the leading baseball podcasts, is sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis. It is a production of StlToday.com, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and Derrick Goold.
