Podcasts about taking action

In this episode of the Everyday Environment Podcast, hosts Amy Lefringhouse and Karla Griesbaum talk with Allen Lawrance, Curator of Entomology at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, to discuss the power of community science and how volunteers contribute valuable data to wildlife monitoring programs across Illinois. Allen highlights initiatives like the Illinois Butterfly Monitoring Network, the Illinois Odonate Survey, and the Calling Frog Survey. These programs help track species abundance and distribution and are crucial for understanding environmental change, including the impacts of habitat loss and climate change. Allen emphasizes that anyone can participate with basic training—no science background is needed.ResourcesFederal Community Science OpportunitiesIllinois Odonate SurveyCalling Frog SurveyPeggy Notebaert Illinois Butterfly Monitoring NetworkEast Central Illinois FrogWatchNorth American Butterfly Association Butterfly CountsShare your own Everyday ObservationWas there something about this topic we didn't cover?

Feeling wired, tired, and secretly dreading Mondays? In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell welcomes Jasmin Dennis, health and wellness leadership coach. Jasmin breaks down her Burnout Pie Framework so you can recognize early signals, prevent a crash, and lead with resilience. Whether you're considering leaving corporate or staying and thriving, this episode gives you the tools to assess where you are and what to do next. What You Will Learn: The critical distinction between burnout as an occupational phenomenon rather than a medical disease. The dangerous cultural pattern of wearing burnout as a badge of honor or turning it into water cooler talk. Why burnout can easily mask clinical depression and go undiagnosed, leading to devastating outcomes when the chronic stress is treated as just exhaustion. How money becomes the primary driving force keeping people trapped in burnout cycles. Practical holistic prescriptions for common burnout symptoms. The power of holding space for someone in emotional crisis by simply allowing them to cry for 15 to 20 minutes without saying a word. How asking someone in crisis to return in two days rather than making decisions in the moment gives them time to release toxicity and get clear about what they actually need. The principle that pulling one thread of wellness unravels the entire tapestry of unwellness. Why the goal is not to eliminate all stress but to successfully manage chronic stress before it accumulates into the eight slices of burnout that require intensive intervention. How burnout affects not just corporate environments but also self employed entrepreneurs, healthcare workers, and stay at home caregivers, making community wellness talks essential for reaching people outside traditional workplace settings. How to use body awareness and emotional intelligence to recognize when someone else's mood or energy is triggering your irritability. Why the scientific community and World Health Organization are still working to identify the root cause of burnout. Connect with Jasmin Dennis LinkedIn Connect with Anjel B.

Engineer and Midlife Business Strategist Sairan Aqrawi shares her inspiring journey from Iraq to a new life in the United States—and the extraordinary story of her mother, Sidika, who was married at 14, became a mother at 15, and went on to raise seven children. From Sidika, we learn the power of patience and trust in divine timing; the wisdom of letting go of small grievances; the importance of choosing grace over noise, and of not seeking validation from others. She reminds us that not everything will unfold as we wish—and that sometimes, peace means letting go. Sairan also reflects on the lessons she's learned as an immigrant, a mother, and a business coach: to own your voice, to take action ("because action is confidence"), to see midlife as a triumph and a new fruitful phase, and to remember that sometimes you need to pause—and recalibrate.

Sometimes you're stuck for a season. Sometimes it's a few months. For me, it was an entire year. All during 2024, I felt like I had a little rain cloud following me around. It affected my work, my life, and my creativity. And after reading some of the survey answers I got back, I realized that a lot of you were going through the exact same thing. I was able to get myself out of that weird funk I was in, so I wanted to help you guys do the same. That weird funk is survival mode, and it can happen at any time. Whether you're fighting with a loved one, having a hard time at work, or even just seeing what's going on in this country. It's upsetting, and it stops your creative energy from flowing. So how do we reconnect with ourselves and get back into that creative energy? In this week's episode, we're talking about the real reason you're not taking action and how to finally start. Life is gonna get you down; what matters is that you get back up. Listen to this week's episode to learn mindful strategies on how to reconnect with yourself, how to tap into your creative energy, and how to manifest from a place of abundance rather than in survival mode.

When was the last time you asked clearly for what you are worth. In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell welcomes Amy Cosper, storyteller and brand builder to talk about risk, money, and the power women unlock when they find their voice. Hear why acting like Silicon Valley dulls your authenticity, how stories shape culture, why we cannot outsource them to AI, and the simple courage move that flips fear into forward motion. Smart, practical, and heart forward.   What You Will Learn: Why many women are trained to avoid risk and how regular practice with small asks makes courage feel normal. A quick test to notice when you are using a fake voice versus your true voice in rooms, pitches, and content. How authenticity grows as an asset over time and becomes a moat that cannot be bought or borrowed. Why community makes courage easier and how to borrow bravery from other women until yours grows. How classic story arcs help you frame your work so people remember it. Why AI can remix words but cannot create your lived experience and how to keep your stories original. How to use emotional honesty without oversharing and without losing authority. Why asking is non negotiable for funding and fees and how to state your value without apology. What shifted in recent decades for women and business credit and why that context matters for courage now. How to stop giving away ideas and execution and install healthy boundaries around your work. A clean way to reframe failure so sunk costs turn into useful data. How to build a personal story engine so your brand shapes culture instead of chasing it. Why moving one person today is a worthy metric when scale feels far away. A two part mantra for hard conversations. How to turn everyday moments into sticky brand metaphors people repeat.   Connect with Amy Cosper Website   Connect with Anjel B.

Episode #177: Join me, Kimberly Lovi, on an insightful journey as we explore the path to financial empowerment and personal growth in this episode of "In Studio." We'll begin by discussing the critical steps needed to expand your business and income. You'll discover the power of setting clear, specific financial goals rather than settling for vague desires. Together, we'll work backwards to assess where you currently stand and map out the steps needed to reach your desired financial future. By breaking down expenses and creating a concrete plan, we'll guide you towards achieving financial security. Next, we'll tackle the transformative shift from a scarcity mindset to one of abundance. It's essential to recognize money as a form of energy that fuels your ambitions and impacts the world around you. We'll talk about the importance of investing in your business and involving others in your vision to drive success. Letting go of limiting beliefs about money is key, and you'll learn how collaboration and financial investment in capable hands can elevate your endeavors. Finally, we'll highlight the significance of investing in personal growth and development. Drawing from my experiences with courses like Amy Porterfield's Digital Course Academy and a Harvard course on data science principles, I'll share how acquiring new skills can propel both your business and personal goals. We'll also emphasize the importance of setting ambitious goals, surrounding yourself with proactive individuals, and avoiding negativity. Plus, for those struggling with mindset barriers, I'll introduce my mindset course to help you gain clarity and overcome obstacles. As we wrap up, we'll reflect on the importance of accountability and invite you to connect and share your progress.

Between SEO, social media, websites, and ads, it's easy to fall into analysis paralysis; spending so much time comparing options that no real progress happens.In this episode of Maximum Octane, Kim Hickey and Jason Patel sit down with Doug Robison, Director of Sales and Partnerships at Optimize Digital Marketing, to cut through the noise and get practical about marketing. Doug explains that while planning and strategy matter, none of it means anything without action. Waiting for the perfect moment or perfect plan only delays results.He shares how shop owners can confidently choose a marketing partner, what to look for in a digital strategy that actually fits your business, and why consistency matters more than perfection. You'll also hear how algorithms, websites, and social platforms work together to drive traffic, and why real marketing success comes from collaboration, not delegation.Tune in to episode 128 of Maximum Octane if you've been overthinking your next move or waiting for everything to line up just right.

It just has to be done with clarity, consistency, and the right support behind it.Episode Takeaways:3:20 Why analysis paralysis keeps shop owners from moving forward4:00 Why no one should try to handle SEO and social media alone5:40 What algorithms really do and why your content must play by their rules9:20 Why you should start marketing on day one of opening your shop10:50 How hiring experts is often cheaper and smarter than doing it in-house14:40 The pet peeve that reveals which marketing companies to avoid15:20 Why marketing has to be a partnership, not a “do it for me” service18:40 Why you still need a website and how it ties all your marketing together22:50 Why marketing needs constant tuning, just like an oil change schedule27:50 What shop owners actually own (and don't) when it comes to their websites29:20 Why a stale website loses ranking faster than you thinkConnect with Doug Robison:LinkedInOptimize Digital MarketingLet's connect:WebsiteLinkedInFacebookEmail: info@maximumoctane.com Hosted on Acast.

Hartwell welcomes Lolita Milena, a paraplegic actress, author, and digital creator whose journey from Siberia to the stages of America is nothing short of extraordinary. In this deeply honest conversation, Lolita opens up about transmuting trauma into purpose through dark humor, sisterhood, and relentless creativity.

The real problems in the U.S. foster care system that most people never hear about, from understaffing to inadequate background checks. A smart awareness strategy for child abuse prevention that starts with people who don't know what they don't know and equips them to share. The difference between performative activism and tangible action, and why survivors need both to create real change. How to build a multi-interest audience that sticks with you by leading with story first, niche second. The meaning behind 2,4,5,9 as Lolita's sci-fi novel title and how she honors family through art and memory.

This episode of the Rich Mind Podcast tackles one of the most powerful human emotions: regret. Inspired by a poignant quote from Pam Beesly of the TV show "The Office," Randy and Greg discuss the pain of looking back and wishing you had acted sooner on the most important things in life. This conversation is a call to action to stop "playing small" and start pursuing the life you truly want today. They explore how paradigms and fear keep us in a state of indecisiveness and procrastination, and how to use past successes as fuel for future courage. The episode provides powerful, actionable tools, such as Bob Proctor's "I am so happy and grateful now that..." mantra and the daily practice of gratitude, to shift your focus from past regrets to a future of proactive, joyful creation.   Key Takeaways:   The fear of regret ("woulda, coulda, shoulda") can be a more powerful motivator for positive change than the fear of failure. As Pam from "The Office" realized, "life just isn't that long." We must act with urgency on the things that truly matter to us. Indecisiveness and procrastination are the primary drivers of future regret. Reflecting on past decisions you are thankful for can provide the courage and confidence needed to make bold new choices. Your deep-seated paradigm often keeps you playing small to protect you from uncertainty, which can lead to a life of inaction. The mantra "I am so happy and grateful now that..." is a powerful tool to program your mind for future success while staying grounded in present gratitude. A consistent gratitude practice is the simplest and most effective way to shift your mindset from lack and regret to abundance and appreciation.   Questions Answered in This Episode:   How can you use the fear of regret as a positive force in your life? What can a quote from "The Office" teach us about living a fulfilling life? Why do we often wait so long to do the things that are most important to us? How can you overcome indecisiveness and procrastination to avoid future regret? What is a "gratefulness exercise" and how can you start one today? What is the powerful Bob Proctor mantra that can help you manifest your goals? How did a major health scare become the catalyst for a positive identity shift? How can you learn from other people's mistakes to live a better life?   Key People, Concepts, & Terms:   People: Randy Wilson, Greg Junge, Pam Beesly (The Office), Bob Proctor. Concepts: Regret, "Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda," Playing Small, Courage, Taking Action, Indecisiveness, Procrastination, Paradigms, Gratitude, Identity Shift.
