New research challenges the fitness industry assumption that consistency is the only path to results. Episode 19 of The Research Debrief examines a paper in the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science and Sports asking a question nearly every club member eventually asks: what happens to my progress if I stop training? The findings carry real implications for how operators and fitness professionals communicate with lapsed members. This Episode Covers: - What the study tested: Continuous training for 30 weeks vs. 10 weeks on, 10 off, 10 on — measuring changes in strength and muscle size. - What happens during a break: Strength and muscle decline, but participants retained more than their pre-training baseline. - The muscle memory effect: The returning group regained strength and muscle faster than the continuous group, driven by the persistence of myonuclei. - The 30-week result: Both groups finished at the same levels of strength and muscle size. - The message for operators: Re-engaging lapsed members works better with encouragement than guilt and the science supports it.

we're hitting pause! I'm not just the host of this podcast; I'm the founder of the company that produces it. After 5 years deep in human design and a lot of zooming out, I'm finally doing for myself what Voice & Visibility does for every show we build: aligning the strategy with the host, the brand, and the mission — not just the content calendar :) The industry is obsessed with more right now. More episodes, more posts, more content for the sake of content. That's not what I'm building. The shows that stay with you a year later aren't the ones that posted every Tuesday... they're the ones that made you feel something. So we're stepping back, rebuilding, and when we come back, there will be a party. In the meantime, scroll the archive like Netflix and let whatever episode calls you find you.

Today, an open and honest conversation between Jess and Caroline.(James Blunt's song, “Goodbye My Lover,” is featured in The Office, Season 3, Episode 10, "A Benihana Christmas.")

In this episode, Colleen pulls on a thread most women don't question: that moment where you're a drink or two in and thinking, "I'm not even feeling this." And instead of solving for it… she slows it down. Colleen walks through how easy it is to miss the actual experience of drinking when you're in your head, distracted, or slightly disconnected from your body—and how quickly that turns into pouring another one without ever really checking in. Not as a mistake. Just as a pattern. And once you start to notice it, it's hard to unsee.

It feels like you are killing the momentum you have built up, and all of the hard work to develop strong discipline and good habits can be lost with a vacation.

This one's a little different, so we're just going to say it straight: We're taking a break from the podcast. Not because anything is wrong, and not because we've run out of things to say, but because after six years of showing up every week, we're listening to our own advice and making space for what's next. There are other things we love that need our energy right now, like growing the studio, speaking, writing, traveling, and honestly just taking a breath – and this podcast, which started during COVID as a way to connect, has been one of the most meaningful parts of our journey. So this isn't a goodbye, it's a pause. We're still here, still building, still together… just stepping away from the mic for now.   3 reminders when it's time to pause and reset: Knowing when to pause is part of being powerful. Growth isn't always about doing more, it's about recognizing when it's time to step back, take inventory, and make space for what's next. You can evolve without ending everything. This isn't a goodbye, it's a shift. You're allowed to change direction while still honoring what you've built. Community doesn't disappear just because things change. Connection can take different forms. The relationships, impact, and conversations don't end here… they just continue in new ways!  

She's been on the Paper Talk Podcast not once, not twice, but three times now, and for good reason. Margie Keates of The Lovely Ave is one of the paper flower community's most beloved artists, known for her stunning crepe paper blooms, her gorgeous still life collections, and her warm, genuine presence online. But this episode is different from the ones that came before. In this deeply vulnerable and emotional conversation, Margie shares what happened when the creative fire she had carried for over a decade started to fade and what she decided to do about it. “I kept creating what I thought would sell the fastest, not what I wanted to create because I loved it and was excited about it. And I just got to the end of the year and I'm like, I don't want to go to work anymore.” - Margie After a year of chasing sales instead of creating from joy, watching her confidence erode with every collection that didn't land the way it used to, and feeling the slow, painful disconnect from the art she once loved so deeply, Margie made the courageous decision to step away. She closed her shop, took a part-time marketing job at a local clothing company she had modeled for, and gave herself something she had never allowed before: permission to pause. “Who am I when it doesn't revolve around what I can create? I don't know yet. But I do know I'm really, really grateful that I get to sit and internally reflect and figure out who I am.” - Margie In This Episode, We Talk About: The slow erosion of creative confidence and how burnout doesn't always look like what you expect Why Margie only posted six to eight times on Instagram in all of 2025 The rise and fall of her subscription business model, from 70 subscribers at its peak to closing it down How her identity became wrapped up in The Lovely Ave brand and the terrifying question of who she is without it Getting a part-time job after 11 years of full-time artistry and what that transition felt like The overwhelming response from her community when she announced her break (over 100 emails in one day) Considering a rebrand from The Lovely Ave to just Margie Keates Sara's experience pivoting from bridal accessories to paper flowers after burnout Quynh's health scare and how it forced her to slow down and reconnect with why she loves paper flowers Jessie's beautiful reminder that your creative identity follows you into whatever comes next Why using AI as a business tool is something paper flower artists should embrace, not fear Kozo paper: what it is, where to find it, and Quynh's quest to source it in Japan Finding joy in real flowers, gardening, Pilates, and the simple act of showing strangers your work at a store About Our Guest Margie Keates is the artist and founder behind The Lovely Ave, a Salt Lake City-based paper flower studio known for breathtaking crepe paper blooms and still life wall art. Over 11 years, Margie built a devoted following, a thriving custom order and subscription business, and a reputation as one of the paper flower community's most inspiring voices. She first appeared on Paper Talk in Season 1, Episode 5, and returned in Season 3, Episode 80, to talk about imposter syndrome. In early 2026, Margie announced she was stepping away from full-time artistry to rediscover herself outside of her creative brand. She currently works part-time in marketing while keeping her studio lease active because she knows this isn't goodbye.

Colter Wall announced on his Instagram recently he's taking a mental health break from music for the time being. There are few details surrounding this decision. But it's clear he needs a break. I wanted to take a minute and reflect on this decision, and what it means for the broader music industry. 

This week, Emily sits down with Olympic Gold Medalist and World Champion surfer Caroline Marks. Fresh off the premiere of her new film Now Days, Caroline discusses the incredible evolution of female surfing and what it’s like to travel the world competing against her closest friends and biggest rivals. She dives deep into the "savage mode" mindset required to win, the courage it took to step away from the tour at age 19 to prioritize her mental health, and how she learned to embrace the discomfort of being out of her comfort zone to eventually stand on top of the podium in Paris. Whether you're a surfer or just looking for a spark of motivation, Caroline’s journey of self-belief and tenacity is sure to inspire you to find your own flow state. In this episode: The making of the film Now Days and bringing female surfing to a mainstream audience. The unique camaraderie and rivalry among the world's top female surfers. Growing up as the only girl among four brothers and how it shaped her competitive edge. The transition from Florida to California and the pressure of early professional success. Navigating the "savage mode" mindset: turning competition on and off. Coming up short in Tokyo 2021 and the four-year mental game leading to Paris 2024. The decision to take a break from the tour at 19 for mental health and the healing process. Caroline’s personal "I Am" statements and her morning routine for success. Learning to appreciate life beyond the board: sunsets, family, and simple joys. What it feels like to finally be an Olympic Gold Medalist and a member of the Hall of Fame. QUOTABLE MOMENTS "The beauty of life is you just keep evolving and growing, and you’ve just got to ride the roller coaster." "When I’m in the water, I just turn into a different person ... you just go into savage mode. I’m trying to win." "Good things happen outside your comfort zone. The best moments of my life have been from when I’ve been uncomfortable." "I’m brave, I’m confident, I put the work in, I’m powerful, and I am doing what I love." "Knowing that you’re the only one that’s you—that’s like a superpower."

The taking a break convo continues! This listener actually has a success story after taking a break. 

In today's episode, the last episode before my Ramadan break, (will you miss me?!)   I'm chatting about the difference between a break where you think. you're 'relaxing', you and one that truly renews you. If you've ever taken time off and returned still stressed, foggy, or behind, this episode is your reset. You'll learn a simple, practical framework for taking a week off (or longer) that supports burnout recovery, restores focus, and helps you come back with more clarity, energy, and creativity. In this episode, you'll learn: Why some breaks don't "work" (and what to do instead) The difference between relaxation vs renewal How to structure time off so you return with more capacity A 5-part framework you can use for a week, a month, or even a weekend How to do a gentle re-entry so the benefits actually stick   You see, a renewing break isn't escape. It's repair. The goal isn't to return "rested for X days," but to return with more capacity, steadier mood, clearer priorities, and stronger focus. If this episode helped, share it with someone who's overdue for a reset. And while I'm on my Ramadan break, try one renewing practice: a daily walk, a clean boundary with work messages, or one "meaning block" you do purely because it feeds you.   Peace and love always, Amber xoxo

If you're struggling to take a break, you're not alone. In this episode, I explain why it's okay (and necessary!) to take breaks or make a shift, even from work you love, and how pushing nonstop leads to exhaustion, burnout, and harm to your business and clients.  Many service-based business owners fear that slowing down means business will slow down, but there's a better way to manage that. Let's replace guilt with grace - let the business serve you, too.  00:00 It's Okay to Pause (Even From What You Love) 01:24 The Hustle Myth: Why 'Pushing Through' Leads to Burnout 02:23 Give Yourself Grace: Boundaries, Expectations, and Needing Breaks 03:11 Real-Life Wake-Up Call: Getting Sick and Being Forced to Stop 04:05 Protect Your Peace: Health, Reputation, and Listening to the Signs 04:31 Client-Proofing Your Breaks: Flex Schedule Language in Your Contract 04:55 Modeling Self-Care: Why Stepping Back Helps You and Your Clients 06:02 What's Next: Shifting Schedule, Revisit Past Episodes, Stay Connected   RESOURCES

pressing pauseAn extended break from the production of conscient podcast, balado conscient, a calm presence and related social mediaWhy do this? One reason is that I noticed that I sleep better when I don't produce podcasts or essays about the end of the world as we know it.Imagine that.But it's also because my learning and unlearning journey, which I began back in 2020, some 5 years ago, has come full circle. It feels like the end of a chapter.I sometimes think of it as a five-year mission to explore strange new art, to seek out solutions to the ecological crisis and to boldly talk about things that have never been talked about before. Maybe they have, but it's worth repeating.You know, it was a trek, with many mistakes and a few discoveries. And, of course, there are many, many more stories yet to be told that can inspire us to action, or at the very least comfort us in troubled times.There are many more examples of transformative artworks that I hope we will know about and eventually experience.There are many more questions, good questions, to be asked by artists.Also, artists can play a role in providing us with a few moments of respite and escape from the doom and gloom around us. I see the value in this kind of media and storytelling work and support whoever is doing it, as best I can. But for me, it's time to press pause. There's a quote that I want to read to you that's my northern star. It's by the great Vietnamese zen master Thich Nhat Hanh:What we most need to do is to hear within us the sound of the Earth crying. I'm going to think about this and have it at the heart of my daily life and think about what it means to listen deeply to the sounds of the earth crying, which is essentially ourselves. How can this insight lead to healing?  We'll see where my spirit takes me.  I really have no idea where it's going to go.  Before ending this last Substack posting I wanted to remind you that I've recently published four new podcast episodes of conscient podcast, 2 in English et 2 en Français. On conscient podcast: An ENCORE presentation of e41 – emergency preparedness from 2021 with Jen Rae, a Melbourne, Australia based artist, researcher, facilitator and educator of Canadian Red River Métis and Scottish descent who talks about the intersection between art, emergency preparedness, disaster risk-reduction and resilience, which seems very timely in 2026 as these issues are amplified. There is some very good ideas and positive energy coming out of Jen's work. e244 roundtable - death as transformation, recorded on December 2, 2025 and originally broadcast on December 13, 2025 as an episode of the Making Waves radio program, where I moderated a panel of sound artists and previous guests of conscient podcast, Azul Carolina Duque, Kenneth Newby, andWendelin Bartley about our understanding of ‘death as a natural transformation of energy and consciousness, not an end' and how our practices as sound artists relate to this transition.Sur le balado conscient :un episode ENCORE l'épisode 27 - l'énergie créatrice libreavec l'artiste sonore, musicienne, réalisatrice radio, sculpteure et une bonne amie de longue date, Hélène Prévost qui nous parle de sa tristesse pour l'état du monde et comment l'art, s'il est libre, peut devenir un puissant levier de changement et de ralliement social. Un bon rappel pour 2026. é171 - villeray acoustique avec deux artistes sonores, Magali Babin et Chantal Dumas, le collectif dB, un entretien enregistré pour un article dans la Revue Circuit, qui parle du projet de recherche-création Villeray acoustiqueune exploration de l'écoute de ce quartier de Montréal comme expérience sensorielle.

It's my way to give back.This Indigenous Land Acknowledgement statement was developed by members of the Algonquin community for my former employer the Canada Council for the Arts. I have adapted slightly to make it my own.I acknowledge that my studio, located in Ottawa, is on the unceded, unsurrendered Territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation whose presence here reaches back to time immemorial.I recognize the Algonquins as the customary keepers and defenders of the Ottawa River Watershed and its tributaries. I honour their long history of welcoming many Nations to this beautiful territory and uphold and uplift the voice and values of our Host Nation.Further, I offer my respect and affirm the inherent and Treaty Rights of all Indigenous Peoples across this land and honour commitments to self-determination and sovereignty that have been made to Indigenous Nations and Peoples.I acknowledge the historical oppression of lands, cultures and the original Peoples in what we now know as Canada and fervently believe the Arts contribute to the healing and decolonizing journey we all share togetherIn parallel with the production of the conscient podcast and its francophone counterpart, balado conscient, I I publish a free ‘a calm presence' monthly Substack see https://acalmpresence.substack.com.Your feedback is always welcome at claude@conscient.ca and/or on social media: Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, Threads, BlueSky, Mastodon, Tik Tok, YouTube and Substack.Share what you like, etcI am grateful and accountable to the earth and the human labour that provided me with the privilege of producing this podcast, including the toxic materials and extractive processes behind the computers, recorders, transportation systems and infrastructure that made this production possible.

After years of weekly conversations unpacking consumer psychology, growth strategy, and how brands actually make decisions, they step back to talk candidly about priorities, growth, and what it looks like when your work evolves faster than the containers around it. They unpack why Brain Driven Brands started, what it became, and why it's time to pause and rethink what comes next. Along the way, they reflect on personal growth, career shifts, and the behind-the-scenes realities of running fast-growing businesses without pretending it's all tidy or linear. You'll also hear: Why "packaging" matters just as much as skill when it comes to brands and personal brands What Tether Insights actually does, and why most research misses the real reasons people buy Nate's work scaling supplement brands, building from zero to one, and treating messaging as a growth lever, not "just copy" Why pauses can be strategic, not stagnant This isn't a goodbye it's just a pause for now. A reminder that growth sometimes means stepping back to build the next version properly.
