Podcasts about Stepping

If you are a high-achieving founder or leader, you know the feeling of hitting a level of success only to realize: The person I've become no longer fits the life I built. Maybe you're restless, feeling a deep pull toward what comes next, but you are stuck between the fear of getting it wrong and the clarity of your true intuition.Today we welcome Sara Anderson, an executive coach and communication strategist who works with women leaders on presence, resonance, and personal power. Sara's journey - from corporate tech to acting to coaching - gives her a unique perspective on the necessary, often uncomfortable work of stepping into a new identity.In this episode, you'll learn about:The core limiting belief you need to unlearn: How to distinguish between authentic desire and what you think will make you look impressive.The power of reframing fear: Why feeling scared isn't "wrong," but a sign you are meeting your edge.The Jenga Game of Identity: How to approach major life transitions by making small shifts instead of forcing a full, disruptive overhaul.The importance of internal growth metrics over external praise (sales, likes, applause).Tactical ways to regulate your nervous system daily, even if you struggle with consistency or have ADHD.Why protecting your "baby ideas" from fear-based projections is critical for women leaders and recovering people-pleasers.The power of magnetism: How repelling the wrong opportunities and people is just as important as attracting the right ones.Why awareness without judgment is the key to escaping the perfectionist, all-or-nothing trap.Episode Timestamps:00:03:00 – The initial belief you need to unlearn to step into your next version.00:05:00 – The struggle to discern between fear and intuition.00:08:00 – How to get out of your own way: Why the mindset that got you here won't get you there.00:09:00 – Defining and using internal metrics of success.00:11:00 – Simple, tactical ways to regulate your nervous system when you feel overwhelmed.00:15:00 – How to approach major life transitions like a Jenga game (small shifts vs. overhaul).00:18:00 – Navigating the friction when your network is accustomed to an old version of you.00:22:00 – The shift from being polished and "good" to being authentic and magnetic.00:25:00 – Final advice: Why the journey is forever, and why you should lead with compassion.About Sara Anderson: Website: https://saraanderson.co/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/saraanderson/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sara.anderson___/Let's Work Together:Book a 90-Minute Clarity CallToday's episode is brought to you by The Planner's Vault—your go-to resource for wedding pros who want to grow, connect, and thrive.

What keeps you going when the work is demanding and the days feel relentless? In this solo episode of Everyday Oral Surgery, Dr. Grant Stucki reflects on why giving often leads to deeper, more lasting fulfillment than receiving. He shares lessons from residency, mentorship, and years in practice, exploring how a mindset of contribution shapes both personal growth and the future of the profession. Dr. Stucki also offers a candid look at the time, cost, and intention behind producing the podcast, and the quiet rewards that come from helping others learn and advance. He also connects these experiences to a broader truth echoed by leaders, philosophers, and spiritual traditions, namely, that joy fades quickly when it is tied to what we receive, but it deepens when it comes from service. As the year comes to a close, this episode invites reflection on a simple but powerful question: who can you help next, and how might that generosity renew your own sense of purpose?Key Points From This Episode:Reflections on persistence, imperfection, and producing this podcast despite the challenges.Lessons from residency on being a proactive learner, not a passive participant.Choosing residents who give back to the profession, not just take from it.The lasting impact of attendings who sacrificed income to teach.Stepping back to ask what oral surgery has given you and how you can help others.Why giving leads to deeper, more lasting peace and fulfillment than receiving.What producing the podcast has cost, and why it has been worth it.Why altruistic giving is more powerful when nothing is expected in return.How giving back can help counter burnout and restore joy.An invitation to help one person, or a group of people, and notice how it brings joy.Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Giftology — https://www.amazon.com/Giftology-Increase-Referrals-Strengthen-Retention/dp/1619614332Everyday Oral Surgery Website — https://www.everydayoralsurgery.com/ Everyday Oral Surgery on Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/everydayoralsurgery/ Everyday Oral Surgery on Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/EverydayOralSurgery/Dr. Grant Stucki Email — grantstucki@gmail.comDr. Grant Stucki Phone — 720-441-6059

Do you feel like the same family conflicts keep resurfacing—no matter how many times you “deal with them”?What if the problem isn't the conflict… but the drama patterns you're unknowingly participating in?In this episode of the Extraordinary Family Life Podcast, Greg and Rachel break down the drama triangle—a destructive cycle made up of three familiar roles: victim, rescuer, and persecutor. These roles keep families stuck in emotional reactivity, resentment, and zero real resolution.Here's the truth most parents never hear: you can face conflict head-on without making it dramatic.Stepping out of drama doesn't mean avoiding problems, disengaging, or “letting things slide.” It means learning how to handle disagreement with clarity, courage, and love—so issues actually get resolved instead of endlessly repeated.In this conversation, you'll learn:Why drama is not the same thing as conflict—and how to tell the differenceThe three roles that silently keep family arguments loopingHow one conscious person can interrupt the entire patternThe exact three steps to exit the drama triangle—starting immediatelyHow to shift from victim → creator, rescuer → coach, and persecutor → challengerWhy inner work and emotional awareness are essential to peaceful parentingHow these tools don't just change today's arguments—but transform family legaciesIf you're exhausted from emotional blowups, silent treatments, or constantly playing referee, this episode offers a practical, empowering path forward—one that leads to real resolution, stronger relationships, and a calmer family culture.Key Takeaways✅ Drama is optional—even when conflict is unavoidable.✅ The drama triangle keeps families stuck without resolution.✅ You only need one person to change the pattern.✅ Stopping your automatic reaction is the first powerful step.✅ Awareness creates choice—and choice creates change.✅ Creator, coach, and challenger roles lead to lasting solutions.✅ Inner work is the gateway to calmer, more effective parenting.Memorable Quotes

The Mindset Debrief: Improving emotional control, clarity, and leadership effectiveness in high-pressure situations.There's a split second before things go sideways. A message lands wrong, a meeting gets tense, a plan starts slipping, and you feel that pull to fix it now. To respond fast, clarify, correct, defend, or prove you're in control. But speed isn't the same thing as skill, and under stress, it's easy to treat the first thought as the best thought. That's where this episode lives: in the moment before the consequences show up.The concept of the discipline of stepping back, not as avoidance, silence, or “letting it go,” but as a deliberate pause is addressed, which creates space for clarity. Why so many capable people don't struggle with effort, they struggle with restraint, and how “control” quietly gets mistaken for “fast.” When emotions rise, your nervous system gets loud, assumptions start feeling like facts, and conversations turn into contests. Stepping back interrupts that chain before it turns a manageable problem into collateral damage.This episode reframes composure as something you build, not something you're born with. It's a skill that shows up through repetition: taking the breath on purpose, delaying the conversation you can't handle cleanly, and choosing timing that protects your judgment. You'll also learn why this matters beyond you. Stepping back changes how safe you are to be around when tension hits. It changes whether your presence steadies a room or heats it up. That's leadership, even without a title.This episode presents practices you can use at work, at home, and in any relationship where tone and timing matter. Write the draft without sending it. Put the message in your notes and let it sit. Delay decisions when you're emotionally compromised, not forever, just long enough to regain judgment. Use stepping back as a verification tool, so you don't assign meaning while you're charged up. And when you're about to speak or act, run one simple check: is this about helping the situation, or helping your feelings? Stepping back won't make you passive. It'll make you accurate, safer, and more effective.Share this episode with someone who could benefit from the information.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:IG: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:Frontline Optics Get 10% off your purchase Link: https://frontlineoptics.com Promocode: Transition10

Transitioning from competitive swimming to the stage requires a specific kind of discipline, but Sadie Dickerson has mastered the pivot. She opens up about the intense audition process for Just in Time, which spanned months and a cross country move to Los Angeles, only to receive the life changing offer while house sitting with some very old dogs. She also shares stories about her time working at a Comic Con t-shirt stand and coaching swim lessons before finally getting her big break. Stepping onto a Broadway stage for the first time is daunting enough, but doing it after sitting backstage for an entire act adds a unique layer of anticipation. Sadie discusses the nerves of that first performance, the supportive environment backstage, and how she balances the technical precision of camera acting with the energy required for live theater. We also get into her love for Newsies and the drive that keeps her pushing for perfection. Sadie Dickerson is an Austin, Texas native and a graduate of Missouri State University where she earned a BFA in Musical Theatre. She was previously seen Off-Broadway in Vladimir at Manhattan Theatre Club and is currently making her Broadway debut as Sandra in Just in Time.

In this episode, I'm sitting down with Jolee Hughes, NP-BC for a raw and honest conversation about what it actually takes to build a business that grows without consuming your entire life. If you've ever found yourself doing everything, carrying the weight of every decision, or secretly wondering how much longer you can keep pushing at this pace… this conversation will feel like a deep exhale. Jolee shares her journey from being the bottleneck in her business, burned out, overwhelmed, and afraid to let go, to becoming a confident, supported leader with a team she trusts. We talk about the uncomfortable but necessary identity shift from provider to CEO, learning to delegate with clarity, and how structure became the thing that finally gave her freedom. You'll hear the mindset that allowed her to stop white-knuckling her way through growth, the systems that helped her team step up, and the breakthroughs that rebuilt her energy and her confidence. Whether you're in a season of expansion, exhaustion, or somewhere in between, Jolee's story will remind you that scaling doesn't require more hustle, it requires more leadership. And you don't have to do it alone.

Hello, hello! In this week's "Best Lessons of the Year" recap, we're diving into two surprisingly connected themes: How easy it is to lose ourselves in conflict How possible it is to find ourselves in nature We start with a clip from my solo cast, Winning Isn't Everything, where I break down what really happens when our nervous system floods and suddenly our partner becomes… the enemy. (Yes, even if 10 minutes ago they were our favorite person.) Then we shift into wide-open wonder with adventurer and wildlife guide Eli Martinez, who reminds us that reconnecting with the natural world isn't just "nice" — it's an actual portal back to intuition, presence, and our truest selves. Some quote that stand out "Stepping out of win-lose dynamics isn't weakness. It's wisdom." "When we stop fighting for control, we start listening — and that's when we find our way back to ourselves." "Wonder cracks us open in ways certainty never can." Key Takeaways Winning in conflict often means both people lose. We aren't built for battles in our closest relationships. Curiosity is a superpower — in conversation, in conflict, in connection. Nature resets the nervous system. Watching a sunset can be more therapeutic than a dozen self-help books. Adventure and intimacy feel the same in the body. Fear + excitement + vulnerability = transformation. The real lesson? Learning to trust yourself is a practice, not a one-time achievement.

Episode Summary As the year comes to a close, many believers feel more drained than victorious. Instead of rushing into resolutions fueled by pressure and comparison, this episode invites you to pause. Through a grace-centered, Scripture-grounded approach, you are guided through three spiritual activities that help you close the year in peace and step into the next season aligned with God's purpose. This teaching walks you through reflecting on God's faithfulness, releasing burdens you were never meant to carry, resetting your heart through repentance without shame, and realigning your future by receiving a word from God for the year ahead.

In this episode of Heal Here, I reflect on trusting intuitive pulls, reframing challenging situations, and stepping into service in quiet ways. Channelled guidance from the Akashic Records offers perspective for Lightworkers who feel stretched, stagnant, exhausted, or unsettled, and need reassurance that their presence matters more than they realize.

In today's episode of The Summit Podcast, I'm joined by Alex Redman of North Star Bailey / College Town Siding (Hanover, MA). Alex has been in the trenches for over 20 years, rising through the ranks under the mentorship of Bob LaPierre—a man who shaped Alex's work ethic, standards, and leadership. This year, Alex faced a defining season: the loss of his father in January, and the loss of Bob in June. And when that weight hit… Alex answered the call. We talk about: Stepping up as a leader when things get heavy What mentorship really looks like over 20+ years Moving from motivation to drive Imposter syndrome—and the moment Alex realized: “I deserve a seat at the table.” Why legacy is about what you leave in people Alex's “Edge”: being the person others can count on every day Alex also shares a major personal milestone—officially stepping into a partner-owner role—and the responsibility that comes with taking care of the people who helped build the business. If you're a contractor, tradesman, leader, or entrepreneur trying to level up through real-life pressure… this one will hit home.

“Information without embodiment keeps you stuck in the same emotional loops that cancel out the physical work you are doing.” Topics Discussed • IVF trauma and fertility burnout • Emotional healing and subconscious patterns • Radical responsibility during the TTC journey • Embodiment vs information overload • Epigenetics and long term cellular health • Victim mindset, inner dialogue, and emotional loops • Stepping into trust, self worth, and nervous system coherence “Your physical body needs time to catch up with your mental reality.” Hello Beautiful, Monica here supporting you to become the conscious mama you were born to be… Today's episode goes straight to the heart of the fertility journey. If you have been gathering knowledge, listening to every expert, and collecting every supplement like tiny emotional trophies, yet still feel stuck, this one will hit home. I share the honest truth that most women avoid. You might know everything, yet still not be living any of it. You might be doing the physical work while your emotional patterns cancel it out. And I say that with so much love because that was me for years. We explore the real reason embodiment matters, why victim stories feel comforting but keep you looping, and how your body is always trying to catch up with the version of you who knows she is meant to be a mother. You will hear the clip I wish I had on repeat at twenty seven, thirty one, even thirty four. It will probably trigger something. That is exactly where the gold is hiding. If you are ready to shift timelines, collapse old patterns, and stop living in emotional slumps that drain your fertility, this episode will land with a mix of truth, humor, and full body resonance. Press play and let this be your turning point. “Sort the emotion that is keeping you stuck because we do not live in that story anymore.” Timestamps 00:00 Introduction and emotional insight about the fertility journey 01:05 Why most women avoid the real work and stay in research mode 03:27 Epigenetics and why your emotional patterns matter 04:25 The difference between information and embodiment 06:47 The bold clip on radical responsibility 07:44 How victim loops block your fertility progress 10:05 Who is truly ready for a fertility breakthrough session “Thoughts, emotions, and actions create your reality, and that is what will shift your fertility timeline.” Full Transcript Over on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/breaking-the-loop-of-infertility-ivf-trauma-and-stepping-into-radical-responsibility-fertility-success Let's Do This Together

In this heartfelt in‑person conversation from Florida, Tina Paulus‑Krause and her daughter Courtney explore what happens after a transformational retreat or "reset." They share the real integration work required once you return to everyday life—how to walk the walk, not just talk the talk. Through their own mother–daughter healing journey, Tina and Courtney unpack key themes like accountability, nervous system regulation, spiritual growth, and the courage it takes to stop trying to "fix" everyone else and start doing your own inner work. They define what it truly means to hold space, why receiving is so hard (especially for leaders, moms, and high achievers), and how retreats, membership support, and spiritual development can create lasting change in relationships and life. If you've ever left a retreat, program, or conference wondering "Now what?", this episode will give you language, perspective, and hope for the next phase of your journey. Timestamps / Chapters [00:00] Welcome & setup In-person podcast in Florida, preparing for end-of-year retreats; today's focus: what happens after the reset. [01:36] The aftermath & integration Courtney on going back home, relationships, and work with new tools—and why integration is ongoing, not instant.

[26:29] Nervous system regulation & why Tina does this work Hurt people vs. transformed people, tools Tina wishes she had when her kids were young, and learning to manage the nervous system. [28:13] Why Courtney does this work Worthiness, consciousness, and supporting people to step through the "gates" into higher awareness and responsibility. [32:03] Lone wolves & being truly held Coaching, being fully honest, not having to do it alone, and creating a structure that can hold even deep trauma.

Hey, Heal Squad! Today we're diving into something that shapes everything… your energy. In this powerful throwback, Maria sits down with energy practitioner and founder of the Energy Flow Formula, John Amaral, to break down what energy really is, how disconnection shows up in the body, and why stress, trauma, and burnout all live in your nervous system. Together, Maria and John talk about intuition, trust, and why your body is always sending you signals… even when you're too busy to notice. John shares how to reconnect to your body, trust your intuition, and release stored tension so you can feel more present, grounded, and alive again. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, or “off,” this is exactly what you need to step into the new year fully aligned.  -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/maria  Thrive Causemetics: https://thrivecausemetics.com/healsquad Get 20% OFF with this link!  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjohnamaral/  Website: ​​https://johnamaral.com/  ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

Rita Malvone did — but only after it nearly burned her out as a leader, a human, and as someone trying to make sense of a career that never quite felt like hers.In this episode, Rita and I unpack the quiet misery of high-performing corporate people: the ones who smile on Zoom, hit the metrics, answer Slacks at 11 p.m.… and privately wonder why they feel so damn empty.Rita's story starts in China, leading a young team while simultaneously building an entire Asia-Pacific presence from scratch. On paper? Impressive.In reality? A slow emotional suffocation disguised as “success.”She talks openly about being a bad leader — not out of incompetence, but because she was deeply unhappy. The FaceTime culture, the politicking, the performative grind, the “be grateful you even have this job” mindset… all of it slowly turned her into someone she didn't like.When the company finally told her she was 47th in line for a promotion, she snapped the trap in half.Leaving wasn't graceful. It wasn't strategic.It was survival.And looking back, Rita realized something hard but beautiful:You can't become the leader you want to be inside a system that requires you to betray yourself.We dig into the aftermath of walking away, the shock of rediscovering joy, the messy years of rebuilding, and how real leadership is less “motivational poster” and more “doing the hard, human, unglamorous work.”We talk about why suffering gives leaders their edge, why authenticity can't be faked, and why corporate life fails people who don't fit the mold — no matter how capable they are.This isn't a rage story.It's a liberation story.No villains. No corporate-hate screeds. Just an honest look at the moment you realize your career is using you more than you're using it — and what happens when you finally walk out.TL;DR* The trap: A prestigious career that looks like success and feels like misery.* The break point: Being told she was “#47 in line for a promotion.”* The turn: Leaving corporate, owning how unhappy she truly was, and rebuilding a life that isn't powered by performance, FaceTime, or pretending.* The lesson: You can't lead well while losing yourself.Memorable Lines* “I wasn't a bad leader. I was an unhappy human pretending to be a leader.”* “We were building the seats as we were sitting in them.”* “You can't sugarcoat how miserable you are and still expect to lead well.”* “Once I stepped out, I finally saw the cage I had been sitting in.”GuestRita Malvone — Leadership coach, former corporate executive in China, and someone who rebuilt her life after discovering her ‘career' was a beautifully decorated cage.

Welcome to the Find Your Fierce Podcast, where you will discover your fierce, unlock an unstoppable mindset, build unbreakable courage, and completely transform how you show up every single day. I'm your host, Jill Allen, and I'm so glad you're joining me today. In this powerful episode of Find Your Fierce, we're talking about the one thing that quietly shapes everything in your life—your beliefs. Not the ones you say out loud, but the ones running in the background… the ones that decide how you show up, what you go after, and what you talk yourself out of. Because here's the truth: most high-achieving women don't struggle because they're lazy or unmotivated. They struggle because something deep inside them is saying, "You can't," "You shouldn't," or "Who do you think you are?" And no amount of to-do lists or good intentions can overpower a belief that's working against you. From the dream job you never apply for… to the health habits you start on Monday and forget by Friday… to the goals you secretly wonder if you're even worthy of… —we talk about the real reason you feel stuck, and how to finally break free. This episode is your permission slip to trade fear for faith, comfort for courage, and self-doubt for the identity God already gave you. If you've ever said, "I know what to do, I just can't seem to do it," this is going to hit home. Here's a peek at what we cover: 1:33 — Why your subconscious beliefs—not your intentions—decide your habits, choices, and results. 3:28 — How fear and old stories keep you in jobs or situations you've outgrown. 4:22 — Why the way you see yourself directly affects your ability to stay consistent with your health. 5:01 — How one tiny action can build momentum and deepen your belief in what's possible. 5:46 — The sneaky ways comfort and fear work together to keep you playing small. 6:29 — Why your health is tied to what you believe about your worth—and how to take ownership of it. 8:28 — How seeing your body as a gift shifts the way you show up for it. 9:17 — The four big belief barriers: fear, self-doubt, comfort, and overwhelm—and how they keep you from trusting God fully. 14:27 — What actually happens when belief meets action, even when you're scared. 16:17 — Stepping into your God-given potential by replacing fear with His truth. 19:04 — Why taking one small step of faith can unlock your purpose and start the growth you've been waiting for.   Key Takeaway: "Health is a choice. And that choice is deeply connected to how much you value yourself… When you start seeing your body as a gift, not just something to be fixed or to be managed, you start making healthier choices."-Jill Allen "God does not call us to comfort. He calls us to courage… Every major move of God in Scripture required someone to leave their comfort zone."-Jill Allen Check out my favorite health must-haves HERE!

This final episode of 2025 feels big. We are closing out one of the most transformative years of our lives and sharing the lessons that shaped us, stretched us, humbled us, and prepared us for what is coming next.

Both of us are stepping into our own in-between season of becoming mothers, and we're taking a break from the show while we're on maternity leave. We'll be soaking in this chapter, learning as we go, and meeting you on the other side with stories, perspective, and probably a lot of tears and laughter.Thank you for being here, for listening, and for growing with us.

"Send us a message! (questions, feedback, etc.)"It can be scary to examine spiritual messages we've heard all our lives, but it sometimes can also be the path to experiencing God more truly, deeply, and biblically. Steve Cuss is an author, speaker, and pastor who has a passion for understanding what drives Christians to feel anxiety, fear, and exhaustion about their faith & relationship with God. He has written books that examine the role anxiety plays in leadership (Managing Leadership Anxiety), and the troubling gaps we notice in our spirituality (The Expectation Gap).In an illuminating conversation, Steve talks about the importance of...Leaders and caregivers being spiritually and emotionally healthy.Realization that not every dramatic spiritual story is meant to be an exact template for exactly how all Christians should react.Understanding that self-condemnation about lack of spiritual progress actually keeps us stuck and frozen.Discovering gentle steps we can take to increase resilience and move in the directions we desire.#stevecuss #expectationgap #managingleadershipanxiety #humansized #spirituality #growth #change #curiosity #kindness #selftalk #spiritualpractices #therapy #healing #trauma #vulnerability #recovery #grace #gospel #transformationSteveCussWords (Steve's website)Steve's books (Amazon)Five Steps to Christmas Sanity PDF (signup download) Support the showAwaken websiteRoots Retreat Men's IntensiveRoots Retreat Women's WorkshopAwaken Men & Women's support meeting info (including virtual)

My guest on the final episode of this season is Anne, Lady Glenconner.  Now 93, Lady Glenconner has lived to put it bluntly, one hell of a life. She was born in 1932, the eldest daughter of the 5th earl of Leicester and brought up in the early 20th century's rigid social hierarchy on the ancestral estate of Holkham Hall in Norfolk. Which, incidentally, she didn't inherit because primogeniture, of which more later.  The royal family were a part of her life from birth. She played with princess Margaret - a fellow naughty girl - in the gardens as a three year old. At just 17 she was a travelling salesperson for her mother's pottery business before she was called back to be a maid of honour at the Queen's Coronation. At 39 she became Princess Margaret's lady in waiting. A role she kept for more than 30 years, until the princess's death. And then, aged 87, she decided to write a book. That book, Lady In Waiting, was a bestseller on both sides of the atlantic, spending 35 weeks in the bestseller lists in the UK and three months in the states and going on to sell over a million copies. She has since written two murder mysteries and three more memoirs, the latest of which is the memoir come handbook, Manners and Mischief, an A-Z of a well-lived life. How much more life does this woman have up her sleeve? Plenty, I suspect. Lady Anne joined me to talk about her temptestuous life, the importance of lifelong friendship, knowing you're a disappointment from birth and the joy of suddenly being in the spotlight after spending her entire life in a supporting role. * You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Shift bookshop on Bookshop.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, including Manners & Mischief by Lady Glenconner as well as the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me. * If you enjoyed this episode and you fancy buying me a coffee, pop over to my page on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠buymeacoffee.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. • And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including exclusive transcripts of the podcast, why not join The Shift community, come and have a look around at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.theshiftwithsambaker.substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode is part of a series where I take already published memoir and break down what works and why (and what doesn't work and why). I've found that when I'm teaching my Memoir Method concepts to my writers, they benefit from seeing how these principles play out in memoir that you can find at the bookstore.

“Journaling is one of the quickest, most readily available tools to tap into your soul.” –Kim MarieToo much hustle and feel like there should be more in this season? December is a potent time to figure out what's next. I'm talking with Kim Marie, creator of the Sacred Nights of Winter journal, about the sacred pause of this season.Winter lends itself to slowing down and going inward, which makes it a powerful time for journaling. What should you write down? For the Sacred Nights: record your dreams, reflect on the year past, envision the year to come, spend time reviewing your day, and consider the cosmic virtues. Each day maps to part of the year.I've done this practice many times and love the insights I get when I revisit my journal throughout the year.We talk about: Committing to journaling for the Sacred Nights of Winter Revisiting the journal — the cards, the insights, the dreams — in the appropriate month Noticing your own seasonal rhythmsSetting intentions for the year instead of resolutions and aligning with the seasons and moonWhy you might want to dialogue journal and how to do itHow journaling gets us out of our heads and helps us act from our soulABOUT KIM MARIEKim Marie is a Holistic Women's Empowerment and Spiritual Coach supporting women in the second half of life to awaken their inner wisdom, heal their Soul-sickness, and live a Soul-fulfilled life.Through her powerful mentoring, publications, programs, courses, and retreats, as well as her group coaching program, Solace, Kim brings a unique, and magical, blend of ancient wisdom, archetypes, Soul-led leadership, and practical spirituality to support visionary women longing to step into the fullness of their authentic expression.Kim is the author of the Sacred Nights of Winter Journal, the Sacred Seasons Journals, and the Soul Planner.

Stepping into Generosity through Giving

Welcome to this latest episode. I am so thrilled to welcome back Jamie Marich to the podcast. In this episode we returned to Wicked and dove into a discussion about how Wicked: For Good can connect to therapy, trauma, parts, and of course politics. Jamie is a leader in trauma treatment, EMDR, dissociation, queer-affirming healing, and expressive arts therapy. They are also the author of many important books and a powerful voice in the trauma community. So, Jamie was a perfect guest to speak about how deeply Wicked has touched both of our systems, and how we can connect this powerful story to our work in the field. We explored some of the symbolic language of the movie, and how the narrative could be integrated into trauma work. Wicked offers a story about oppression, identity, longing, courage, and hope. We can also see our political climate of fear and manipulation reflected in this story. The resistance to this, we learn, is friendship.  A powerful message of this movie was how we can see things from multiple perspectives. It was great riffing on this with Jamie in this episode. We explored how Glinda was able to step outside of her "bubble" and observe some of the ways she was adding to the evil of the universe. For my system it was also so interesting to see the multi-dimensional aspects of Glinda, and how she had a lot of sadness that was being exiled in her system. It was so much fun to speak with Jamie about the magic in this movie, and about the magic of being a part of multiple worlds (such as Elphaba). Stepping out of our perspective, and being able to hold the multiplicity really does seem to enable magic!  We even got a chance to speak about Jamie's new book, Queering EMDR, which is such a gift to the therapy community! I hope you enjoy this special episode!   You can learn more about Jamie's work at: jamiemarich.com Jamie's newest published book: jamiemarich.substack.com David's Substack: empoweredthroughcompassion.substack.com.  

The records credit Jim Bouton with the win, but everyone who followed the Yankees' 1963 season knows that the driving force in the middle of the year was Elston Howard.Stepping up into a leadership role after Mickey Mantle broke his foot and moved to the Injured List for ten weeks, the Yankees catcher would shepherd the rotation through the summer months with performance like this one, taking the young Bouton through 8 scoreless innings.Howard earned his American League MVP award by putting the Yankees on his broad shoulders.Neither should we ignore opposing pitcher Claude Osteen. The left-hander packed heat alongside an arsenal of breaking pitches. Already established as the Senators' ace, the offence would rarely back him up, and 1963 would end with a 9-14 record. The Dodgers would offer him a lifeline, and in 1965, he would join Don Drysdale, Sandy Koufax, and Johnny Podres in a devastating rotation in Los Angeles.Today? Today, you can see the difference Howard makes when supporting a young pitcher.Ewan Spence and the Classic Baseball Radio team bring you this recreated radio broadcast from 1963. Just as radio stations recreated baseball games from ticker-tape messages, we can research this classic game and present it to you as if you were listening to the radio in 1963. This should not be considered a complete or fully accurate historical record. Nevertheless, this is our story of the game.You can find the boxscore here:https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYA/NYA196306190.shtmlThis game was played on June 19, 1963We thank Retrosheet, Sports Reference, Sports Logos Net, Tom R Audio, and  Crafting The Call.

Ep. 225 If you've been doubting your growth this year, this episode will open your eyes to just how far you've come and why you deserve to end 2025 proud, grounded, and unapologetically in your power. In this deeply reflective episode of HealingHer Within, host Maryann Rivera-Dannert walks you through 25 things she's truly grateful for in 2025 — and invites you to pause, reflect, and honor how you've evolved this year. From healing her past to holding firm boundaries, expanding her business, stepping into visibility, embracing divine timing, and nurturing herself with intention, Maryann breaks down the inner work, the breakthroughs, and the bold decisions that shaped her year. This episode is not just a gratitude list — it's a blueprint for how to close your year strong, aligned, and fully awake to who you are becoming. Whether you're celebrating wins or navigating hard truths, you'll walk away feeling inspired, grounded, and ready to greet 2026 with clarity and confidence. Key Takeaways Reflection is a power move: You can't grow what you don't track. Maryann emphasizes checking in with your yearly goals before December 31st. Healing is ongoing, not a finish line: Your past is part of your story — not the whole story. Your message is magnetic when it's aligned: The “liberated woman movement” is attracting the right women because Maryann is speaking boldly to her true audience. Boundaries are self-care in action: They're not about others — they're about honoring your peace. Visibility creates opportunity: Stepping into your voice leads to increased impact, income, and influence. Self-nourishment is non-negotiable: You can't pour into others when you're running on empty. Divine timing > forced timing: Peace comes from releasing control. Resilience is a superpower: You are not defined by what happened to you — only by how you rise.

How do you explain why you want a less senior role without sounding like you're burnt out, unmotivated, or trying to “quit” responsibility?Whether you're shifting from director to individual contributor, prioritising family life, or simply craving work that's meaningful without the extra leadership load, there is a way to tell this story so employers get it, without making the wrong assumptions about you.In this weeks episode, Sarah and Emma explain how to strike the right tone of vulnerability and intention, and how to balance your examples so you don't accidentally signal that you're still operating at a senior level. You'll also hear how to frame what you loved about being an individual contributor, so this move sounds thoughtful, not like you're stepping backwards.

Craig and Arkansas friend Misty Hubbard trace their journey from “vote harder” conservatism to No King but Christ. They talk about propaganda, “paid patriotism,” online Christian rage, compassion that crosses borders, and why the solution isn't a better party but a deeper allegiance to Jesus and His Kingdom. How Mike Gaddy shattered Misty's sense of civic religion, with the haunting question “When have you ever voted yourself more free?”, and what happens when your faith starts sounding more like a campaign ad than the Sermon on the Mount.  In the end, this isn't a call to find a better party; it's an invitation to step out of the culture war and into small, local communities where people quietly learn to look, and love, more like Jesus. What's Inside this Episode: How “vote harder” patriotism discipled them more than Jesus The path Misty took that broke her founding myths and civic religion Propaganda, “paid patriotism,” and how getting back to Jesus expands compassion Online Christian rage vs. everyday kindness at work (and what Jesus has to say about it) Why the solution isn't apathy, but deeper allegiance to Christ's Kingdom Power and importance of small, local groups (like Misty's in Russellville) as quiet deprogramming from empire

There comes a point in every woman's journey when she feels that pull to use her voice in a more meaningful, more expansive way. It's the moment when sharing information becomes sharing transformation — when your story becomes the very thing that opens doors for others. In this episode, I'm exploring what it truly means to step into that calling, honor the message in your heart, and navigate the resistance that often rises as you move toward bigger stages. It's a powerful reminder of what happens when you say yes to your own voice. Today, I'm joined by the incredible Jessica Hammock, a speaker and mental health leader who recently stepped into her biggest speaking opportunity yet. Jessica and I worked together inside my Speak Easy program to shape her keynote, and in this conversation, she shares the behind-the-scenes journey — the challenges, the spiritual nudges, and the breakthroughs — that brought her to that stage. I can't wait for you to hear her transformation. Join me today as Jessica and I discuss: Why shifting from teaching to storytelling can dramatically deepen your impact How Jessica recognized the message she was truly meant to share — and the “divine download” that guided her The resistance and unexpected challenges she faced leading up to her keynote, and the grounding practices that carried her through The powerful meaning behind her message of Hope Steelers, Hope Dealers, and Hope Healers The surprising opportunities that opened up after her talk, including paid speaking invitations and new visibility How showing up early and staying late at events can exponentially increase connections and bookings Jessica's expanded vision for speaking on larger, faith-based, and transformational stages Jessica's story is such a beautiful reminder of what can unfold when you trust your voice and share your story with intention. If this conversation stirs something in you — a desire to speak more, to lead with your story, or to get on bigger stages — I want you to know that it's possible for you too.

On today's episode, we have Ally Iseman (she/her) join us for conversation about following your curiosity all the way home to your pleasure. Together we talk about the politics of a full-belly laugh, sexual habituation in long-term relationships, and making up for the years of woman's lost orgasms.

We are living in the Matrix immersed in the narratives of the Matrix. Those narratives distract us with promises of new tech and digital toys, work to convince us that the future is determined and that we have no control, and direct our attention away from the things that shape the root of our entire world. We live in a web of lies. Who we are and our purpose here are rooted in our relationship with GOD, not what degree we have or what thing we buy. The revolution is in the heart, as we pivot away from the chaos and step into the peace of God's grace.  #BardsFM_Morning #SeeingTheMatrix #ObedienceInChrist Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com EnviroKlenz Air Purification, promo code BARDS to save 10%:www.enviroklenz.com EMPShield protect your vehicles and home.

In today's episode of The Autism Little Learners Podcast, I'm diving into one of the most meaningful parts of working with autistic preschoolers: connection. When we lead with compassion, honor sensory needs, and truly celebrate each child's unique way of being, we create the emotional safety that helps them learn, communicate, and thrive. I'm sharing why stepping out of "teacher mode," validating autistic play, and tapping into deep interests are essential for forming authentic relationships. If you're ready for simple, practical strategies that build trust, reduce overwhelm, and create joyful, neuroaffirming classrooms and homes, this episode is for you. Building authentic connection creates a sense of emotional safety for autistic children. Sensory and regulation needs must be supported before meaningful connection can occur. A calm, steady adult presence helps children co-regulate and learn what regulation feels like. Stepping out of "teacher mode" makes connection more natural and less overwhelming. Autistic play is meaningful, valid, and should be honored rather than redirected. Deep interests are powerful bridges for building trust, engagement, and communication. Leading with compassion instead of compliance helps children feel seen, respected, and safe. Joyful, neuroaffirming environments increase engagement and support learning. Presuming competence communicates respect for all forms of communication and autonomy. Prioritizing connection has long-term positive effects on confidence, engagement, and overall development.

Have you ever felt a sharp little nudge of doubt just before sending a Reel out into the world? Or rewritten half of your newsletter just to “tone it down” a bit?Many soul-guided entrepreneurs shy away from showing up authentically online because we worry about how others will perceive us. We fear being seen as weird, subversive, or too “out there.” We stress about not showing up “the right way” or being “too much.” We're afraid the messages we share will be misunderstood - or even ridiculed.Fear of being too visible kept my soul client Katja Junnila from establishing an online presence for her business. In this powerful Soul Session, I coach her through her discomfort about being judged by people who don't understand her mission. As a heart-led leader in the making who supports people with impairments in reclaiming their lives, Katja's work is absolutely vital and deserves to be seen and celebrated!You'll discover:Why sharing your message online is actually a serviceHow to lean into your shadow and uncover the hidden fears keeping you smallThe surprising hugs the Divine can send us when we're open to receivingTimestamps:00:17 Introducing Katja Junnila00:20 The Fear of Visibility01:01 Katja's Mission and Courage01:32 Navigating Social Media Overwhelm03:35 Authenticity vs. AI Trends05:29 Embracing Passion and Reels07:06 Katja's Journey to Healing12:44 Connecting with Intuition24:07 Katja's Writing Calling32:24 InvitationSTAY CONNECTED: Soul Guide Circle: JOIN the Soul Guide Circle closed Facebook Group Facebook: FOLLOW on Facebook Instagram: FOLLOW on Instagram YouTube: Follow in YouTube Ready to grow a prosperous soul-guided business?

In this very special episode, our usual host, Jami Kaeb, is taking a turn in the guest seat. Stepping in to act as the host is our dear friend (and repeat guest) Jamie Finn! The Forgotten Podcast is celebrating 10 years of creating content that serves, equips, and encourages those in the foster care community, as well as exalts the name of Jesus. To help commemorate this milestone, Jami will be the one answering questions and filling us in on some of the most impactful moments from the last 10 years as we look ahead to what's coming next. In this episode, Jami shares key lessons she's learned through hosting the podcast, a little bit about how The Forgotten Initiative began, why it matters to hold both the darkness and the light in our stories, and much more.
