Staying Grounded Colossians 2:6-15

This episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

Kirstie Sneyd is an organizational psychologist, executive coach and the author of “Returning Well”, a practical, evidence-based guide for working parents and their managers. We were both at INSEAD together, and I have followed her career ever since – and am delighted now to bring some of her learnings to our audience.Our conversation starts with Kirstie's roots in consulting, and what drew her to organizational behaviour at INSEAD. The first glimmers of what made a job worthwhile though stemmed from much earlier, and a beachside holiday in Devon. A career in consulting evolved into one that focused on coaching executives to find their voice, retain visibility and, in some cases, return to the workplace after a period of absence.We speak about her book and the reception that it received, and the themes that Kirstie is now working on with her coaching clients. Many of these relate to coping with an increasingly heavy and complex cognitive load, as well as the pressure that social media creates in terms of comparisons to others. You can find Kirstie's book here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Returning-well-working-parents-managers/dp/3111618277  and more information about her coaching practice on her LinkedIn profile here: LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/kirstiesneydThis podcast is supported by Franklin Templeton and Alvine Capital. Franklin Templeton is a global investment management firm that provides a broad range of investment solutions, including mutual funds, ETFs, alternative investments, wealth management, and technology-enabled financial services.

This week we are getting nerdy as we explore one of the most fascinating and often overlooked aspects of Human Design: Perspective. As the world feels increasingly overwhelming and attention is pulled in countless directions, understanding your unique Perspective can help reduce mental anxiety, create healthier filters around information, and bring you back into alignment. We dive into the six Human Design Perspectives—Survival, Possibility, Power, Wanting, Probability, and Personal—and explain how each one offers a unique lens for observing the world. You'll learn why you're designed to focus on a specific aspect of life and how embracing your natural Perspective can help you feel more grounded, empowered, and mentally clear.   Key Takeaways: Why mental overwhelm often comes from trying to see and process everything instead of honoring your natural Perspective. How your Perspective reveals the unique way your mind is designed to observe the world and offer valuable insights. How each of the six Perspectives has a specific area of genius—from seeing possibilities and probabilities to understanding power dynamics, survival needs, personal impact, and human fulfillment. Why understanding your Perspective can help you create healthier boundaries around media consumption and information overload. Why trusting the observations you're naturally designed to make can help reduce anxiety and allow you to contribute your unique wisdom to the collective.   Free Mini-Courses!: FREE Transits & The Harmonic Gate Mini-Course FREE Human Design Readings 101 Masterclass Join us in Your Human Design Besties!

When everything is shifting — a restructure, a board crisis, a project on the edge of collapse, or just the relentless uncertainty of leading a team through sustained change — the expectation is that you hold it together. You stay steady. You have the answers. But nobody tells you how. In this episode of Leading Women in Tech, Toni Collis builds out the adaptive leadership toolkit every senior leader needs for navigating a genuine crisis — not the kind of crisis leadership that sounds good in a conference keynote, but the practical, honest, unglamorous work of staying grounded when everything around you is shifting. This is not about eliminating the pressure. It is about developing the specific capabilities that let you remain clear, present, and effective within it. What's covered: Why crisis leadership is a trainable capability, not a personality trait — and why the unruffled leader you're comparing yourself to is a fiction The team-speed problem: why your team is not where you are emotionally, and what it actually means to meet people where they are Crisis communication as a leadership skill — not just a PR function. The specific language that calms, orients, and aligns your team when they're in crisis mode. And why you need to say it far more times than you think The internal dimension: staying grounded in yourself before you can hold space for anyone else Protecting decision quality when the stakes are highest — the difference between genuine urgency and anxiety-driven urgency The blame game, why a crisis is never the time to play it, and the story from early in Toni's career that has stayed with her ever since The isolation of senior leadership in a crisis — and the structural responses that make it manageable  Related episodes:  Episode 170 - Does it have to be lonely at the top?

There's always a lot going on in the world of AEC marketing.

Welcome back to Living Your Truth with Tavares.This is Season 11, Episode 3.Today we're talking about Humility.And I think humility is one of the most misunderstood qualities in today's world.Because people often confuse humility with weakness.But humility is not weakness.Humility is awareness.Humility is emotional intelligence.Humility is strength under control.A humble person doesn't think less of themselves.They simply don't need to think they're above everybody else.And in a culture where people constantly chase validation, attention, status, and image…Humility has become rare.But I truly believe humility is one of the foundations of growth.Because the moment you believe you know everything…you stop learning.The moment you believe you're above accountability…you stop evolving.And the moment ego controls your life…peace usually disappears.So today we're going to talk about humility.What it really means.Why it matters.How it impacts relationships, leadership, healing, and personal growth.And why some of the strongest people in the world are also the humblest.Tavares A Garrett Link⁠https://linktr.ee/tavaresagarrett⁠Amazon Books by Tavares Allen Garrett⁠https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B08778562H⁠The Body Synthesis⁠www.thebodysynthesis.com⁠

When people find out that Cade Thompson signed a Nashville record contract at the age of just 18, they sometimes assume he's led a charmed life. But as many blessings as Cade has received over the course of his still-young music career, there have been setbacks and frustrations too. Fortunately, through prayer and the guidance of caring mentors, he's been able to learn valuable lessons from those challenges about faith, love, and staying grounded. Cade shares some of those lessons with Nate Dewberry in this week's episode, along with reflections on his upbringing in South Dakota, the inspiration behind a couple of his biggest hits, and what green room snacks he's powerless to resist.Segments/chapters0:00 Intro/Cade's early love of music1:26 Cade's rapid rise in the music industry—and a big setback5:26 The life rhythms and mentors that have kept Cade grounded11:19 A newly married man looks back at singlehood16:16 Cade talks about his latest single, “That's What the Cross Is For”21:06 Cade witnesses God working in the life of one of his young fans23:42 Looking ahead and looking back28:39 Cade's work with a youth group at a local church31:10 Closing thoughts (and favorite snacks)Find community, deepen your faith, join the brotherhood for free today at theredeemed.com/join.Visit The Redeemed's website for downloadable discussion question sets,  show notes, inspirational articles, more resources, or to share your testimony.Join our Exclusive Newsletter: Signup today and be the first to get notified on upcoming podcasts and new resources!The Redeemed is an organization giving men from all backgrounds a supportive, judgment-free environment, grounded in Christian love without demanding participation in any faith tradition, where they can open up about their challenges, worries, and failures—and celebrate their triumphs over those struggles.Have a redemption story?

The world doesn't feel stable right now — and your nervous system knows it. Economic uncertainty, political chaos, global conflict: even if none of it is landing directly on your doorstep, it's landing in your body. You're more reactive than usual. Your sleep is off. You're scrolling more and resting less. You're doing fine — except that quietly, underneath it all, you're not.This episode is about how to stay grounded when the external world keeps shifting. Not through toxic positivity or pretending things are fine. Not through a five-step productivity system. Through something more honest: learning to anchor yourself in what's actually stable when almost nothing outside of you is.Today we're walking you through what groundedness actually means — and more importantly, what it feels like in a body that's been running on high alert. You'll leave this episode with a clearer understanding of why you feel so rattled right now, and a set of practices you can return to again and again when the news cycle, the economy, or life itself starts to spin.This is courage for the long haul. Let's practice it together.

In this sermon on John 11, Karl Ihfe explores the story of Lazarus to remind us that God's timing, though often confusing, never fails us. Through Martha's honest cry — "Lord, if you had been here" — and Jesus' deliberate delay, Karl shows us that delays are not signs of God's disinterest, but invitations to deeper trust. What feels like a setback may actually be the stage God is setting for his greatest glory. https://bwaychurch.org

I want to explore what it means to stay grounded amidst the chaos, without resorting to shutting down or completely disengaging from the world around us. In our previous discussion, we highlighted how internal negativity contributes to anxiety, but today, I'm widening the lens to examine the external factors contributing to this weight we often feel in our lives.We live in an age of constant connectivity, where the influx of information can feel overwhelming. Historically, people experienced heavy times, but the difference now is the relentless flow of news—conflict, uncertainty, and fear flood our feeds at all hours, straining our nervous systems. My aim is to reassure you that if you're feeling overwhelmed or anxious, it's a logical response to the environment. You're not alone, and it's vital to acknowledge the reality of our world while finding a healthy balance.Throughout the episode, I discuss two common extremes people fall into when faced with the weight of global issues: overexposure and avoidance. Overexposure—constantly checking news updates and social media—can lead to exhaustion and helplessness. Conversely, avoidance—ignoring world events and attempting to shut them out entirely—often results in disconnection and guilt. Many find themselves oscillating between these extremes, which complicates their emotional landscape. Here, I propose a middle path that allows for awareness and compassion toward the world while nurturing our own mental health.#anxiety, #nervoussystem, #mentalhealth, #wellness, #mindfulness, #stayinggrounded, #selfcare, #innerpeace, #stressrelief, #boundaries, #emotionalwellbeing, #anxietyrecovery, #meditation, #groundingexercises, #mentalclarity, #overwhelmed, #compassion, #resilience, #healthyliving, #personalgrowth, #anxietycoachespodcast, #ginaryan, #mentalhealthsupport, #grounded, #innerharmony, #emotionalhealth, #selfhealing, #stressmanagement, #mindsetmatters, #holistichealth, #digitalwellbeing, #mindfulmoment, #calmness, #wellbeingjourney, #mentalwellbeing, #overcominganxiety, #peacefulmind, #restoration, #selfpreservation, #stayingcentered #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of “Mindful Mystics,” Karen Frazier, Chuckie G, and Cheryl Knight-Wilson explore what “Spiritual Activism” really looks like when life feels heavy, chaotic and deeply divided. We talk about how to stay connected to what matters without getting swallowed by anger or fear, as well as how boundaries, compassion, self-awareness, and inner guidance can help transform reaction into something more grounded, conscious, and healing. Brought to you by Paranormal Underground Radio Episode Date: 3.23.2026 Hosts: Karen Frazier, Chuckie G, and Cheryl Knight-Wilson Check out our hosts online at: Paranormal Underground magazine: https://paranormalunderground.net/ Author and psychic medium Karen Frazier: https://www.authorkarenfrazier.com/#/ Paranormal Investigator and psychic medium Chuckie G: https://itsmechuckieg.com/ For more information about The George Collective, visit: https://www.authorkarenfrazier.com/blog/category/the-george-collective#/ Show Highlights: [00:21] Introducing the Topic of Spiritual Activism Karen opens the episode by framing spiritual activism as a way to stand up for what feels right without falling into hatred, frustration, or lower-vibrational reactions. [02:43] Karen Shares a Channeled Message on Spiritual Activism Karen reads a powerful message from The George Collective, originally received in 2020, about transforming fear and discomfort into compassion, love, and conscious action. [08:59] A Practical Tool for Working With Discomfort The George Collective's message offers a simple practice: Pause, sit with discomfort, notice where it lives in the body, and surround it with love instead of suppressing it. [11:06] Cheryl on Media Overload and Spiritual Detox Cheryl reflects on how constant news consumption pulled her into rage and emotional exhaustion, and she explains how stepping back from obsessive media habits helped her regain a healthier mindset. [14:19] Doomscrolling and the Energy of Negativity Karen and Cheryl discuss how endless scrolling can keep people locked into fear-based energy and why being mindful of media intake is part of spiritual self-care. [15:16] Chuckie G on Honoring Feelings Instead of Burying Them Chuckie G shares his view that emotions are meant to be acknowledged and moved through, not pushed aside, and that real healing comes from understanding feelings and shifting them into a healthier space. [18:08] Spiritual Activism Through Motivational Work Chuckie G explains how his return to motivational speaking is one of his own forms of activism, helping people reconnect with their worth, purpose, and inner light. [20:06] Staying Engaged Without Becoming Reactive Cheryl asks how people can remain involved in causes they care about without slipping into “I'm right, you're wrong” thinking, opening a discussion about ego, judgment, and conscious response. [23:21] Karen on Love, Energy, and Taking Action Without Judgment Karen explains her belief that everyone is made of the same source energy and says activism can still include protesting, helping others, and drawing lines — but without defining everything through hatred. [26:20] Life Lessons, Soul Contracts, and Difficult Experiences Karen shares her perspective that some painful life experiences may be part of a deeper soul-level agreement designed to help people experience growth, forgiveness, or healing. [29:25] No One Is Above the Struggle Karen and Chuckie G make it clear that spiritual awareness does not make anyone perfect. They talk honestly about being messy, reactive, and human, and about shortening the time it takes to return to peace. [30:28] Defining Spiritual Activism Cheryl reads a concise definition of spiritual activism as engaging with the world from inner alignment rather than reaction, and the group agrees that real change begins with consciousness. [31:20] Boundaries, Respect, and the Golden Rule Karen says spiritual activism means acting from integrity and remembering the humanity of others, even when there is deep disagreement. [34:19] Loving People Without Engaging Every Viewpoint Karen talks about maintaining love for friends and family members whose beliefs are very different from her own while also choosing boundaries and limiting harmful conversations. [39:05] Setting Limits in Difficult Relationships Cheryl shares how establishing clear boundaries around certain topics helped protect a relationship from becoming entirely negative and argumentative. [40:45] Learning From People Without Endorsing Everything They Do Karen discusses how she can still value insights she once gained from public figures while deciding not to support them anymore when their actions no longer align with her values. [44:53] A New George Collective Message on Today's Upheaval Karen reads a more recent message describing current chaos as part of a larger energetic shift, with old systems surfacing and breaking down so new ones can emerge. [49:53] Real-World Examples of Spiritual Activism Cheryl shares practical examples, including pausing before reacting, choosing dialogue over dehumanization, setting boundaries, refusing gossip and misinformation, creating meaningful content, and doing shadow work. [52:08] Can Anyone Channel Divine Guidance? Karen says yes and explains that inner guidance can come through words, art, movement, insight, or other forms, depending on the person. [55:00] Remembering That We Are All One The episode closes with a reflection on shared humanity, the importance of love with boundaries, and the idea that refusing hatred is itself a form of spiritual activism.

Steve Kerr, head coach of the Golden State Warriors, has a long list of accolades. He has nine NBA championship rings–five as a player and four as a coach. At the 2024 Paris Olympics, he coached the U-S team to a gold medal and, as a player, he holds the title of the NBA's all-time three-point percentage leader. Rather than basking in glory, Kerr is known for deflecting praise and elevating those around him. He speaks with podcast host and author Kelly Corrigan about influential figures in his life, like his parents and past coaches, and how they shaped his ability to remain grounded. He also talks about his advocacy for gun safety laws and balancing political involvement with his day job.

What if your confidence didn't need to wait for proof—what if it's something you practice in the middle of uncertainty? In this episode, we unpack what it really takes to stay steady, self-assured, and mentally resilient while building a purpose-driven business. Hosted by Avik Chakraborty on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, this conversation is for women founders (and anyone on a non-linear path) who feel self-doubt, external pressure, or the quiet need to “prove” their worth. Neli Kools shares how her journey—from architecture and urban planning to entrepreneurship—shaped her leadership, and why care, comfort, and dignity are deeply tied to women's confidence. About the Guest: Neli Kools is a global entrepreneur and co-founder of Intimate Queen, a purpose-driven lingerie and wellness brand focused on plant-based, comfort-first pieces designed for women's confidence and care. Key Takeaways: Treat confidence as a daily practice, not a reward you earn after success. Stop outsourcing your worth: focus on integrity, deliverables, and authenticity. When pressure rises, slow down—journal, meditate, and listen inward before deciding. Normalize non-linear growth: detours can widen vision and strengthen decision-making. Comfort impacts mindset: when the body feels supported, the mind feels lighter. Replace “prove yourself” with “trust yourself”—one step, one choice at a time.

Country artist Chris Lane joins Brooke Taylor on The Upload for a candid, faith-filled conversation about the unexpected injuries, detours, and divine redirection that shaped his life long before music stardom. Chris opens up about tearing his ACL in high school—and again in college—an experience that sidelined his dreams of playing sports but sparked a life-changing relationship with the Lord. What felt like devastation at the time became the quiet space God used to draw him close, heal his heart, and prepare him for a future he couldn’t yet see. Now a husband, dad, and touring musician, Chris shares honestly about this new season where his time feels “wrecked”—changing diapers at home, performing on the road, and fighting to keep Jesus at the center of it all. He talks about the conviction he feels to carve out time with God, how fatherhood has deepened his understanding of Christ’s love, and how marriage wasn’t even on his radar until he met his wife, Lauren. Their shared faith became the foundation of their relationship—especially significant given Lauren’s upbringing in Portland, one of the least churched major cities in America. Chris also gets real about navigating fame in an industry that can inflate the ego. He talks about praying for humility, wanting success but not at the cost of his walk with Christ, and the ways God is teaching him patience in every area of life.
