Podcasts about Sweet spot

Are you ready to experience BE YOU live and in person? Join Jill for the five-year anniversary of Be YOU - a special in person event celebrating 300 episodes of the podcast - on Saturday, October 25th from 1–5 p.m. in Fort Wayne, Indiana. You'll get to connect and network with 200 amazing women! The community you didn't know you had and didn't realize you needed. Wait till you meet these women. You'll get to sit back and let Jill pour into you and you'll leave with more clarity, confidence and a remembrance of how gifted and glorious you are. Tickets are selling fast at jillherman.com/beyou Tune in this week as Jill gets real about the first time in nearly five years that she didn't show up for an episode and why it actually felt completely okay and guilt-free! From the unexpected loss of her family dog Lola, to house issues, and her dad's terminal cancer leading to hospice, life truly demanded her attention and bandwidth, and she shares how allowing herself to pause gave her some clarity, space, and perspective. She also opens up about the chaos behind the scenes of launching her upcoming Be YOU live event, including website struggles with a contractor who locked her out and how she stayed grounded even while everything seemed to go sideways! Beyond the challenges, Jill reflects on the power of feeling your emotions fully while staying detached from the outcome, allowing frustration and anger to move through you instead of being suppressed. She shares how surrendering to what is allowed her to maintain confidence, trust the process, and step into her role as the host of a powerful, transformative event for women. Listeners will also get a behind-the-scenes look at the Be YOU live event on October 25th, which will of course mark the 300th episode of the show, truly a rare milestone in podcasting. Jill breaks down the tiered ticket pricing, VIP sellouts, discounted hotel rooms, and the opportunity to connect with other women from across the U.S. and Canada before the event, and she also highlights what attendees can expect, including a space for reclamation, reconnection, celebration, and authentic self-expression without religious overtones or forced activities. This episode of the podcast is all about showing up for yourself even when life is messy, holding space for others while trusting your own power, and embracing the art of the “both/and conversation” - feeling deeply while surrendering to what is. Tune in to hear the story behind the ups and downs of launching this upcoming event and the lessons that it's teaching Jill!

Rates & Fed Policy: Markets are overly optimistic on rate cuts; inflation remains sticky, keeping the Fed cautious (DeepMacro).Equity Positioning: Systematic funds are heavily tilted toward equities, with allocations at or near record highs (MenthorQ).China Equities: Narrowing gap between H-shares and A-shares signals opportunity; liquidity and household cash provide strong support (HSBC).Market Breadth: Short-term indicators are overbought, but long-term breadth remains healthy (Dantes Outlook).Fixed Income: Attractive yields unlikely to return to pre-pandemic lows; belly of the curve (5–6 year maturities) offers a balance of income and rate risk (Vanguard).Municipals & Credit: Municipal bonds and investment-grade credit stand out as high-quality, inexpensive options.Equities: Active managers struggle against the Magnificent Seven; indexing provides a strong foundation, while Industrials, Financials, and Healthcare offer selective momentum opportunities (Morningstar, Dantes Outlook).Takeaway: Stay disciplined, revisit bond allocations, and avoid overstretching for yield or risk.

In this week's episode of the podcast, we dive deep into the tricky tightrope walk of balancing structure and flexibility at home—because let's be honest, parenting (and homeschooling) neurodivergent kids isn't for the faint of heart! This episode is your breathe-and-hit-reset permission slip. Here's a peek at what we covered:   Structure is Comforting… Until It Isn't Structure helps our kids (and us!) feel safe. Predictable routines can seriously reduce anxiety, especially for those with executive functioning challenges, ADHD, autism, or sensory processing issues. But too much rigidity? It can spark rebellion, burnout, and meltdowns—especially with creative, passionate, gifted kids.   What Does Flexibility Really Mean? Flexibility doesn't mean winging it! It means responsive teaching—letting your child's needs, interests, and even energy levels guide your day. I share my own family's rhythm, from color-coded calendars to built-in time for unexpected appointments and sibling support.   Practical Strategies to Try Now Here are some actionable takeaways to help you find your family's sweet spot: Start with Your “Must Do's”: Define your “minimum viable day”—the simplest version of what needs to happen (e.g., a little reading, writing, and math). Ease into your routine and build up slowly. Anchors, Not Timetables: Instead of strict schedules, anchor your day around meals, read-alouds, or physical routines. Visual Tools & Ownership: Use checklists, whiteboards, or color-coded calendars so your kids know what's on deck. Support Executive Function: Scaffold routines gently and model breaking big tasks into small steps. Embrace Interest-Led Learning: Let your child's passions drive parts of the curriculum for greater engagement. Built-in Downtime: Everyone—including you!—needs breaks to recharge.   You're Not Alone (Even When It Feels Like It) If your Instagram doesn't look like those homeschool highlight reels, that's normal. Messy days aren't failures—they're feedback.   Looking for More Support? If you want ongoing resources, coaching, or community, check out the Learner's Lab or subscribe to our email list for info on upcoming small group cohorts for middle/high schoolers and executive function workshops. You're the perfect parent for your child—just as you are. Give yourself grace, celebrate the small wins, and remember: structure and flexibility are both just tools.   Links and Resources from Today's Episode Thank you to our sponsors: CTC Math – Flexible, affordable math for the whole family!

Send us a textWe all have internal "equalizer controls" for our masculine and feminine energies, and finding the sweet spot between extremes creates flow and harmony in our lives and relationships. In this episode, we explore with the Guides how to find this point of divine power within each of us. • The space between sleeping and waking mirrors our spiritual journey between unconsciousness and consciousness• Like an audio equalizer, we each have two controllers inside – one for yin energy (feminine, receptive) and one for yang energy (masculine, active)• When either energy moves to extremes, we experience suffering – shadow feminine becomes neediness and depression; shadow masculine becomes burnout and control• The "sweet spot" near the middle represents divine/healed expressions of both energies• We can only control our own equalizer settings, not anyone else's• Our energy settings create our experiences – like a musician playing notes that manifest physically• In relationships, harmony comes when each person adjusts their own energy balance consciously• Small, intentional adjustments to our internal energies can completely transform our experience• Spirit is creating something new through us when we operate from this balanced sweet spotTrust your inner knowing and balance your energies. New doors are opening that align with your destiny, and spirit is providing all the support you need – you don't have to do everything yourself.Learn more about, book a session with or contact India Leigh at indialeigh.com

In this episode of The Intelligent Vocalist, John digs into the idea of criticality, the brain's “sweet spot” for learning, creativity, and performance. He explains how singers can get stuck in either too much control or too much chaos, and why the real magic happens right in between. Find that balance so your singing feels easier, freer, and more fun.   Episode highlights: Great singing happens in the balance between control and freedom. Stress, lack of sleep, and overthinking can pull you out of your brain's sweet spot. Short, focused practice sessions and even mental rehearsal help the brain stay in flow.   To learn more about John Henny, his best-selling books, on-line courses, Voiceschool.com featuring his Teaching Team of Experts, Speaker Training and the Contemporary Voice Teacher Academy, visit: JohnHenny.com

When it comes to long-term success, nothing moves the needle quite like exposure to the equity markets. For most professionals, the sweet spot for taking on that market risk happens in their 30s and 40s — when income is steady, savings are growing, and there's still plenty of time to ride out volatility. But for ER doctors, that window looks different. The later start, higher salaries, and often shorter career arc mean the equity sweet spot is compressed, but arguably even more important. It's in those high-earning years where leaning into equities — despite the inherent market risk — is critical to building a cushion strong enough to weather income risks, early retirement goals, and the unpredictability that comes with emergency medicine.

What if I told you that the secret to unlocking your team's creative potential isn't working harder—it's asking better questions? Here's the problem: Most business leaders are getting mediocre results from AI because they're playing it safe. They're asking vanilla questions and getting vanilla answers, then wondering why their competitors seem to be pulling ahead. You've invested time learning AI tools, maybe even paying for premium subscriptions, but your outputs still feel… mid. Generic. Safe. The kind of ideas that blend into the background noise of your industry. But what if the solution isn't better AI—it's better prompting? What if the key to breakthrough results lies in embracing what most people avoid: bad ideas? Today, I'm thrilled to welcome Jason Keath, founder of Social Fresh, who's been helping brands and agencies grow through social media since 2009. Jason's built one of the most respected voices in marketing, organizing conferences that bring together marketing leaders worldwide.

They share insights from Ballnamic testing, personal fittings, and quality control issues in direct-to-consumer models, highlighting when spending more is worth it and when it's just marketing hype. In the second half, they tackle some of golf's most entrenched myths, from rate of closure and “squaring the face” to the old “drive for show, putt for dough."
