Podcasts about Three Steps

Whereas some Kaddishim end with "Da'amiran Be'alma Ve'imru Amen," others consist of additional prayers and conclude with "Oseh Shalom Bi'mromav…" Is the one reciting Kaddish required to take three steps back for "Oseh Shalom" at the end of Kaddish, as we do for "Oseh Shalom" at the end of the Amida? The Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909), in his Od Yosef Hai, distinguished in this regard between the "Kaddish Titkabal" that the Hazzan recites following the repetition of the Amida, and other Kaddishim. For the Hazzan reciting "Kaddish Titkabal," the Ben Ish Hai writes, taking three steps back is required, because he needs to step back after repeating the Amida. When reciting the other Kaddishim, however, this is not necessary. The Ben Ish Hai cites this ruling in the name of earlier Poskim (Shalmeh Sibur, Mateh Yehuda). This is the view also of the Kaf Ha'haim (Rav Yaakob Haim Sofer, Baghdad-Jerusalem, 1870-1939), who observed that this was the common practice, adding that this is consistent with the teachings of Kabbalah. Hacham Ovadia Yosef, however, disagreed, and ruled that it is proper to step back for "Oseh Shalom" at the end of every Kaddish. He refuted the Kaf Ha'haim's claim that Kabbalistic teaching does not require stepping back, noting that Rav Eliyahu Hamwe of Aleppo (1839-1915), a great Kabbalist, writes in his Peh Eliyahu that one must step back at the end of every Kaddish. Moreover, the Radbaz (Rav David Ben Zimra, Egypt, 1479-1573) maintained that one should take three steps back at the end of every Kaddish, and this is also the position of Maran, in Bet Yosef and Shulhan Aruch. Therefore, whenever one recites a Kaddish that ends with "Oseh Shalom," he should take three steps back. The proper procedure is to move the left foot back, then move the right foot behind the left foot, and then move the left foot next to the right foot. One then recites the words "Oseh Shalom Bi'mromav" while bowing to the left, "Hu Ya'aseh Shalom Alenu" while bowing to the right, and "Ve'al Kol Yisrael" while bowing frontward. He then stands upright for "Ve'imru Amen."

Welcome to 5 Minutes of Peace — a time for you to reflect, recharge, and renew. Five minutes to awaken something within yourself. Created by ThePeaceRoom.love.In today's episode, we explore a simple yet powerful practice: learning how to accept people for who they are — whether they're coworkers, family members, or acquaintances who sometimes get under your skin.This gentle reflection offers three grounding steps to help ease stress, soften judgment, and bring more peace into everyday relationships:✨ Recognize that everyone is unique.Each person has their own path, values, and timing. When we release expectations that others should live the way we do, it becomes easier to honor their individuality.✨ Allow disagreement without disconnection.It's okay to see things differently. When someone you care about makes choices you wouldn't make yourself, this is an invitation to practice trust, curiosity, and compassion — especially when no harm is being done.✨ Bring the focus back to yourself.The only person you can truly change is you. By shifting attention away from how others live their lives and toward choices that bring you more joy, acceptance naturally follows.This episode reminds us that peace often begins within — and that when we stop trying to manage others, we create space for greater ease, understanding, and happiness in our own lives.Thank you for listening, and thank yourself for taking five minutes of peace.We are all connected on a path of love, service, and peace for ourselves and others.To learn more about The Peace Room, our Reiki treatments, crystal healings, trainings, and workshops, visit www.thepeaceroom.love.Join us again whenever you need… 5 Minutes of Peace.

Foundations of Amateur Radio Still excited from my minor victory in discovering a missing puzzle piece associated with the project I'm working on, I spent the past week introducing my head, if not literally, at least figuratively, to the surface of my desk in a traditional head-desk troubleshooting move that you might be familiar with. I suppose it's an improvement on the "Bear with a Toothache" approach. In short, the Yak is losing hair .. rapidly. You might be wondering why I'm telling you about it, since in the land of milk and honey nothing ever goes wrong and all the answers are presented on a silver platter, except when they're not. Within the amateur radio community, it appears to me that the inclination to fiddle is ingrained and widespread. Given that the hobby is all about experimentation and learning, that's not a bad thing, but there are times when this behaviour can be counterproductive. Specifically when you're troubleshooting. Faced with a problem, there are times when a systematic approach is warranted. For some, the first time they come across this phenomenon is during the practical test component of their amateur radio license. Presented with a station, they're asked to determine why it's not working. The problem might be a power supply that isn't plugged in, or a disconnected antenna, the mode button set to FM, the squelch closed, the RF gain set to zero, generally something simple. Those inexperienced in the art of troubleshooting are more likely than not inclined to try everything, sometimes all at once, in the hope that one of the changes will magically fix the issue, but in reality, often making the problem worse. There is a better way. I'm mentioning this because this skill applies to many aspects of life and in the decades that I've been here, it's not something I was ever taught. It's funny to think that a quote from nearly a century ago applies to this skill: "When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." The salient point being "eliminating all which is impossible". In other words, you're not finding the problem, you're eliminating all the things that are not the problem. Another way is to think of it as finding all the things that don't need fixing. While that might sound weird, in deeply interdependent systems like an amateur radio station, or a computer, that approach can help you find the root cause of an issue and with it the path to a potential fix. Of course, this process invites you to examine where the issue might exist. Experience will teach you that you need to start small and grow the net, rather than cast wide and narrow it down. That's not to say that you need to stop paying attention to the bigger picture. In the example of an inoperative station, you might discover that the lights in the room are out and that this coincides with the radio being off. In other words, trying to discover if the antenna is disconnected makes little sense, since there is no power to the radio. In my case, I'm balancing my efforts between maintaining an existing system whilst attempting to deploy a new one to replace it. I'm working on several related issues on multiple fronts. Their common theme is audio, though the specifics differ depending on which computer I'm looking at. Then there's the installation and ongoing care and maintenance associated with keeping GNU Radio running. It's a balancing act because while this is happening, I still need to look for work, respond to email, deal with the regulatory requirements for accounting and tax returns, not to mention the myriad projects I have going on at any given time. At this point I could go into deep and disturbing detail about the technology issues I'm juggling and I could even justify it by pointing out that a problem shared is a problem halved, but truth be told, I'm not sure you're up for a treatise on the comings and goings of forced system security updates and arising bugs, and just so we're clear, this is not the company who brought us a talking paperclip, it's the one who gave rise to companies called "Orange" and "Lemon". On the GNU Radio front, there's a snake based installer that happily installs two incompatible libraries for the same application, causing it to fail, and a beer related one that fails to install dependencies. At least I can use 'apt-get' on a real system. That said, juggling problems and all, I did manage to actually hear an FM station being decoded across the network. It did help that I actually connected the antenna to the radio, and I'm ignoring the audio buffer under-runs, or over-runs, depending on the weather, or some other unknowable variable, but I suspect that's all part of the learning I'm in the middle of. Hopefully, the hair will grow back soon. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

What does a divorce coach actually do - and how do you know if the support you're choosing after separation is right for your situation?In this episode of The Post-Separation Abuse Podcast, principal coach Danielle Black unpacks the rapidly growing world of divorce coaching, high-conflict separation support, and post-separation parenting guidance.As more professionals begin using the label “coach,” many separating parents are left wondering who to trust and what kind of support they actually need - particularly when navigating coercive control, high-conflict co-parenting, or the Australian family court system.Danielle explores the difference between coaching, therapy, and legal advice, and explains why titles alone don't tell you much about the quality or depth of the support being offered.She also addresses the growing online obsession with diagnosing former partners as “narcissists” - and why that framing, while validating for many parents, can distract from the strategies, and inner work, that actually improve outcomes for protective parents and their children.In this episode you'll learn:• What divorce coaching actually is - and what it isn't• How chronic stress during separation impacts the brain and decision-making• Why not all support models work in high-conflict or coercive control situations• The hidden risks of getting stuck in the “narcissist” rabbit hole• How protective parents can shift from conflict-avoidant to strategic, child-focused advocacy• Danielle's Three Steps to Protective Parenting: Knowledge → Capacity → AdvocacyDrawing on both professional training and lived experience navigating the family court system, Danielle shares practical insight for parents who want to protect their children and choose support that matches the reality of their separation.If you are navigating high-conflict divorce, post-separation abuse, coercive control, or complex co-parenting dynamics, this episode will help you better understand what kind of support truly builds long-term protection for your children.As always, this episode is not legal advice and not therapy.Explore the supports offered by Danielle Black CoachingThe Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint™

Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Deacon Garlick and Mr. Luke Heintschel, headmaster of Coeur du Christ Academy, discuss the rest of ante-purgatory and then the first terrace--the purging of pride.Check out our GUIDE: 51 QUESTIONS ON THE PURGATORIO.Visit thegreatbookspodcast.com for more information.The conversation explores the transition from Ante-Purgatory into the proper mountain of Purgatory and the first terrace dedicated to purging the sin of pride. Garlick describes this section as one of his favorites in the entire Purgatorio, praising Dante's ability to provide a rich “liturgy” and spiritual library of resources for reshaping the soul into the beautiful image of Christ. The episode emphasizes Purgatorio as a positive map for sanctification and theosis, contrasting sharply with the Inferno's exposure of sin's ugliness.Guest Introduction and Classical Education InsightsLuke Heintschel shares his personal journey from evangelization and biblical theology into classical education, explaining how he came to see the liberal arts tradition—long cultivated by the Church—as the most effective means of making Catholicism relevant to contemporary young people. He describes his school's mission of forming saints, scholars, and servants through the historic Catholic educational model. Deacon and Heintschel discuss the harmony of faith and reason, noting how reading great books alongside Scripture and theology reveals that the God who grants intellect is the same God who died on the cross. They highlight the value of using Dante's Purgatorio in moral theology classes, where it serves not as a list of rules but as a vivid portrayal of transforming the heart's disordered loves toward their divine end.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Ascend and Dante's Purgatorio09:02 Understanding Purgatorio: A Map for Spiritual Growth15:17 Dante's Intercessory Prayer and Its Significance24:13 The Role of Beatrice and the Nature of Beauty34:53 Dante's Political Critique and the State of Italy43:05 The Call to Higher Patriotism53:44 Understanding Virtue: Natural vs. Theological59:35 The Valley of the Kings: Political Failures and Redemption01:15:02 Dante's Heroism and Divine Grace01:19:41 The Three Steps to Purification01:28:10 The Role of Humility in Purgatory01:51:27 The Purpose of Purification01:59:24 Contrappasso: The Nature of Punishment in Purgatory02:04:44 Examples of Pride: Lessons from the Past02:16:26 The Beatitudes and the Path to Humility02:23:47 Eagerness to Ascend: The Transformation of the SoulMoral Theology and the Purpose of PurgatorioThe hosts stress that moral theology is not merely about avoiding sin but about becoming beautiful like Christ through active configuration to His image. Purgatorio offers a lifelong guide for this ascent, presenting prayers, hymns, scriptural examples, and artistic visions tailored to remedy each vice. They critique modern reductions of ethics to a “negative list” of prohibitions, arguing that Dante invites readers to pursue positive virtue and interior change.In Canto 6, the souls in Ante-Purgatory eagerly seek Dante's prayers, illustrating the Catholic doctrine of intercession for the dead as a participation in Christ's merits. Virgil explains that purgation is possible through the resurrection, and the episode includes a brief catechesis on the communion of saints across the Church Militant, Penitent, and Triumphant. Beatrice is presented as an icon of divine beauty and grace, with the...

In this episode of The Good Leadership Podcast, Charles Good explores the challenges leaders face under pressure, emphasizing the reversion effect, where individuals revert to their most practiced habits instead of utilizing their skills. He discusses the science behind working memory and automatic habits, providing a three-step framework to help leaders prepare for high-stakes situations. The importance of debriefing after such moments is also highlighted as a means for continuous improvement and learning.TAKEAWAYSYou lose big deals due to retrieval problems, not training gaps.Under pressure, leaders revert to their oldest habits.Working memory is limited and can be hijacked by stress.Skills need to be practiced in varied conditions to transfer effectively.Preloading decisions can reduce cognitive overload during pressure.Specific cues can trigger desired behaviors in high-stakes moments.Debriefing is crucial for learning from leadership experiences.Surprise in meetings indicates a failure in mental models.Identifying personal reversion behaviors can improve performance.Effective leaders build systems to manage pressure, not just rely on motivation.Chapters00:00 Understanding the Reversion Effect03:13 Cognitive Science and Leadership04:06 The Role of Working Memory05:52 Retrieval Architecture for Leaders06:55 Three Steps to Prepare for Pressure08:57 Managing High-Pressure Moments10:24 The Importance of Debriefing12:22 Building Learning Architecture15:16 Key Insights and Takeaways

After infidelity, one of the most common questions I hear is, "Will it always hurt?" In this encore episode, I answer that question honestly and offer a clear path forward. The pain does not last forever — but healing requires understanding what actually causes the pain and learning how to work with your mind instead of against it. I walk through three foundational steps that help the hurt subside over time. First, I explain why infidelity hurts so deeply and how the meaning we attach to it often reactivates old wounds. Then I separate remembering from hurting — showing why forgetting isn't necessary in order to heal. Finally, I teach how to set boundaries around your thoughts so you stop reopening the wound again and again. Healing does not mean erasing the past. It means learning how to remember without suffering and how to treat yourself with compassion when pain resurfaces. This work puts the power back in your hands — regardless of whether you stay in the relationship or not. In this episode, I cover: Infidelity hurts because of the meaning we attach to it, not the event itself Remembering and hurting are two different processes Thought boundaries help prevent emotional re-injury If you're ready to heal without waiting for someone else to change, I invite you to reach out and learn how to begin this work.

To live light, we must abide in Jesus, keep in step with Jesus, and live for Jesus.

In this episode, Josh and Sam explore what happens when a church becomes discouraged and how God restores hope in a congregation that feels stuck, tired, or overwhelmed. Discouragement drains energy, distorts reality, and slowly turns a church inward. Encouragement is both spiritual and strategic. It starts with leaders who refuse to catastrophize and instead cast vision. Pessimists predict failure. Realists describe what is. But optimistic, faith-filled leaders show what could be. The post The Best Ways to Encourage a Discouraged Church (Your Next Three Steps) appeared first on Church Answers.

“Buyers want a machine, a sales machine, not a mystery. If the sales machine only works because of the founder, it’s not that valuable. It’s actually quite risky.” Chris Spratling, founder of Chalkhill Blue Limited and author of The Exit Roadmap, shared this on a recent episode of the Sales Gravy podcast. He works with business owners preparing to sell their companies, helping them get operations, finances, and sales engines ready for new ownership. That insight cuts straight to the reason so many founder-led businesses hit a ceiling they can't break through.  If you are a founder who still carries most of the revenue, or you have a founder-led sales team that depends on you to close critical deals, this is bigger than exit planning. It determines whether your business can grow beyond your personal capacity. The Golden Handcuffs Problem You built the business. You know the product better than anyone. You can sell it without thinking. That is exactly where the risk starts. When major clients only trust you, when your sales process lives in your head, when new reps struggle to replicate what comes naturally to you, you aren't running a sales operation. You are running a one-person engine with a support team around it. Spratling calls this the “golden handcuffs.” It looks like success from the outside, but underneath, it creates dependency. Every time you step in to save a deal, you reinforce the idea that the business only works when you are involved. Most founders focus on how this affects valuation at exit. Fewer recognize the more immediate cost. That dependency limits how fast the company can grow right now. Where Founder-Led Sales Breaks Down The transition from founder-led sales to a functioning team is where momentum often stalls. You hire your first salesperson. They do well. Then a second. Then a third. Suddenly, deals slow down, messaging gets inconsistent, and you find yourself pulled back into conversations you thought you had delegated. They don't sell the way you do. They miss cues you catch instinctively. They hesitate where you would push forward. So you jump in, coach through objections, and close deals yourself. What feels like instinct is actually a method you developed through hundreds of conversations. The problem isn't that your team lacks talent, but that your approach has never been translated into something they can use without you standing next to them. As long as that stays true, scale will remain out of reach. Turning Intuition Into a Usable Process The hardest shift for founder-led teams is codifying what the founder does without thinking. You know which deals are worth pursuing. You know when to apply pressure and when to step back. You know how to redirect a conversation when resistance shows up. That knowledge is pattern recognition built over time, and it can be used to create a process. Start by defining how deals actually move through your pipeline. Not a generic framework pulled from a template, but the real stages your customers pass through, with clear criteria for each transition. What has to be true before a lead is qualified? What information must be present before a proposal goes out? Then look at discovery. What questions do you ask every time? What do you listen for before positioning your solution? Which objections show up consistently, and how do you respond when they do? The goal is to document the structure beneath the conversations so that someone else can navigate the same terrain with confidence. Why Your CRM Is Not Pulling Its Weight Most founder-led teams have a CRM, but they only use it to track contacts and deal size. However, a functioning, high-performing sales system treats the CRM as a learning tool. That means capturing more than surface-level data. It means recording what buyers actually say, why deals move forward, where they stall, and who influences the decision. When that information is tracked consistently, patterns become visible. You see which prospects convert fastest, which objections actually kill deals, and where momentum typically breaks down. That insight does more than improve forecasting. It gives you a concrete way to train new reps based on real deals you have closed, not abstract theory. Three Steps to Build a Sales Engine That Does Not Depend on You The objective isn't to remove yourself from sales completely. It's to make your involvement a choice rather than a requirement. Step 1: Define Clear Qualification Criteria Your team needs to know which leads are worth pursuing and which ones are a waste of time. If you’re constantly redirecting their focus, you haven’t defined “good fit” clearly enough. Get specific—industry, company size, buying triggers, decision-making structure.  Step 2: Create Documented Playbooks How do you handle discovery? What’s your approach to proposals? How do you navigate the closing process? Your team needs a framework they can adapt. Think decision trees, not scripts. “If they say X, then ask Y. If they push back on Z, here’s how to reframe it.” Step 3: Transfer Client Relationships If every major client relationship is tied to you personally, your business is fragile. Start introducing your team into those relationships now. Bring them to calls. Have them lead the follow-up. Shift trust from you as an individual to your company as a whole. What This Looks Like in Practice Record your next three sales conversations, with the customer's permission. Review them carefully. Note the questions you asked, when you asked them, and how you responded to resistance. Identify what made you confident that the opportunity was real. Turn those insights into a simple framework your team can follow. Have them use it. Watch where it works and where it breaks. Refine based on what you see. Done consistently, this process creates a system new hires can step into within months. It won't make them identical to you, but it will make them effective without constant rescue. The Real Test You will know your found-led sales team has scaled when you can step away for two weeks without monitoring email, chat messages, or “quick calls” with prospects. And when you come back, the pipeline has moved forward. If that thought terrifies you, you don't have a sales team. You have an expensive support staff for your one-person operation. Building a sales operation that runs without you isn’t about making yourself irrelevant. It’s about making your business transferable and scalable, whether you’re planning an exit in three years or just trying to grow past your own capacity right now. Because at some point, your ability to personally close deals stops being your greatest asset and starts being your biggest bottleneck. The question is whether you’ll recognize that point before it costs you the next stage of growth.

It walks through the frameworks that help teams scale without depending on a single closer.

“Buyers want a machine, a sales machine, not a mystery. If the sales machine only works because of the founder, it's not that valuable. It's actually quite risky.” Chris Spratling, founder of Chalkhill Blue Limited and author of The Exit Roadmap, shared this on a recent episode of the Sales Gravy podcast. He works with business owners preparing to sell their companies, helping them get operations, finances, and sales engines ready for new ownership. That insight cuts straight to the reason so many founder-led businesses hit a ceiling they can't break through.  If you are a founder who still carries most of the revenue, or you have a founder-led sales team that depends on you to close critical deals, this is bigger than exit planning. It determines whether your business can grow beyond your personal capacity. The Golden Handcuffs Problem You built the business. You know the product better than anyone. You can sell it without thinking. That is exactly where the risk starts. When major clients only trust you, when your sales process lives in your head, when new reps struggle to replicate what comes naturally to you, you aren't running a sales operation. You are running a one-person engine with a support team around it. Spratling calls this the “golden handcuffs.” It looks like success from the outside, but underneath, it creates dependency. Every time you step in to save a deal, you reinforce the idea that the business only works when you are involved. Most founders focus on how this affects valuation at exit. Fewer recognize the more immediate cost. That dependency limits how fast the company can grow right now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEBLyaOy9XQ Where Founder-Led Sales Breaks Down The transition from founder-led sales to a functioning team is where momentum often stalls. You hire your first salesperson. They do well. Then a second. Then a third. Suddenly, deals slow down, messaging gets inconsistent, and you find yourself pulled back into conversations you thought you had delegated. They don't sell the way you do. They miss cues you catch instinctively. They hesitate where you would push forward. So you jump in, coach through objections, and close deals yourself. What feels like instinct is actually a method you developed through hundreds of conversations. The problem isn't that your team lacks talent, but that your approach has never been translated into something they can use without you standing next to them. As long as that stays true, scale will remain out of reach. Turning Intuition Into a Usable Process The hardest shift for founder-led teams is codifying what the founder does without thinking.

In this episode, Kevin Cheney, a law firm owner and co-founder, shares how intentional culture-building can be for a firm's growth. He explains why culture—more than marketing or processes—drives retention, recruitment, client experience, and resilience. He offers a practical three-step framework for leaders to assess, envision, and build their ideal culture.Kevin shares some steps to building culture for a firm. The first is what your culture is today. Be brutally honest with yourself and admit what you are doing right and wrong. Another thing is to think about the future of this culture. Map out a five year plan - what needs to change and how can you change it. From there, decide what is important for your firm to have in order to be successful. At the end of the day, a positive team culture drives retention and improves employee experience. It is important to ensure your employees bond so they can work better together. Create opportunities for your staff to connect. For Kevin, he organizes happy hours and potlucks as ways for employees to have some fun and disconnect. Another option is to organize team bonding activities that build confidence and trust. Ensure to make these optional so staff are not forced but encouraged to participate.Listen in to learn more!1:07 Intentionality in Marketing, Processes, and Culture2:27 Defining Culture in a Law Firm6:51 Three Steps to Building Culture10:40 Facilitating Employee Bonding13:29 Employee Ownership MentalityTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here. Connect with Kevin:Website  Facebook  Linkedin

Check out the podcast on Macslist here: (https://www.macslist.org/?post_type=podcasts&p=16435&preview=true)  Many job seekers treat interviews as a series of questions to answer correctly, but doing so can make you blend in instead of stand out. On this episode of Find Your Dream Job, career coach Kacie Bail explains how to turn an interview into a genuine conversation that builds trust and connection with your interviewer. She shares three practical steps: listen intently, identify conversation threads, and engage naturally with what your interviewer says.

You'll learn how to adapt these techniques for both casual and highly structured interviews — and why the goal isn't perfection, but authenticity. As Kacie reminds us, interviewers may forget your exact answers, but they'll always remember how you made them feel.

On this episode of Find Your Dream Job, career coach Kacie Bail explains how to turn an interview into a genuine conversation that builds trust and connection with your interviewer. She shares three practical steps: listen intently, identify conversation threads, and engage naturally with what your interviewer says. By focusing on curiosity and connection, you can show that you're not only qualified but also someone they'll enjoy working with. Kacie also offers simple ways to signal understanding, ask meaningful follow-up questions, and use nonverbal cues like nodding and smiling to build rapport. You'll learn how to adapt these techniques for both casual and highly structured interviews — and why the goal isn't perfection, but authenticity. As Kacie reminds us, interviewers may forget your exact answers, but they'll always remember how you made them feel. About Our Guest: Kacie Bail is a career coach who helps introverts and non-native English speakers get more fulfilling jobs.   Resources in This Episode: Connect with Kacie on LinkedIn.  Visit her website, where you can Get a Free PDF on How to Ace your Interview in 7 Steps.

How to identify and rewrite the limiting beliefs holding you back.Achieving what you want in life doesn't just hinge on what you believe about your future. According to Muriel Wilkins, it has just as much to do with what you believe about your past and present.Wilkins is an executive coach, author, and host of the HBR podcast Coaching Real Leaders. In her new book, Leadership Unblocked: Breakthrough the Beliefs that Limit Your Potential, she explains how our personal and professional blocks often stem from our own limiting beliefs about ourselves. “A belief is a story that you tell yourself,” she says, “It is the operating principle that is driving your behavior and the decisions you make.” Before we can take actions that will lead us to where we want to go, we have to uncover these hidden beliefs. Otherwise, Wilkins says, “We'll come back right to where we started. It's not just about what we do, it's about what we think about what we do that makes all the difference."In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Wilkins and host Matt Abrahams explore the three-step process of uncover, unpack, and unblock — Wilkins' method for identifying limiting beliefs, understanding how they might be shaping our behavior, and updating narratives to align with who we actually want to be.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Muriel WilkinsMuriel's Book: Leadership UnblockedEp.102 Create a Presence: How to Communicate in a Way Others Can FeelEp.98 Give It to Me Straight: How to Give Honest, Constructive Feedback  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:17) - The Seven Limiting Beliefs (04:43) - Three Steps to Becoming Unblocked (07:57) - Rethinking Values and Success (09:12) - Healthy vs. Toxic Productivity (11:56) - The Power of Mindset and Reframing (14:32) - Reverse Engineering Your Goals (17:41) - Managing Emotional Investment (21:21) - The Final Three Question (27:42) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

Episode Description: Kids today can't sit still without a screen. Their days are packed from morning to night, every game has rules, every moment has a goal, and the second boredom hits, the phone swoops in. Here's what that's creating: anxious teens who become adults afraid to fail, constantly waiting to be told what to do. In this episode, Dr. G sits down with Cas Holman, the world-famous toy designer whose play systems are transforming classrooms worldwide. Cas doesn't make toys that entertain kids, she builds tools that awaken creativity and imagination. Together, they explore how modern parenting, performance culture, and screen addiction have stripped us (and our children) of something vital: unstructured play. In This Episode: • Why kids have lost the ability to entertain themselves • How constant stimulation leads to anxiety, perfectionism, and fear of failure • Why boredom is essential for creativity and nervous system regulation • How to design your home and habits to invite more play — without turning your kitchen into a jungle gym • The difference between toys that entertain and toys that teach imagination • How rigid upbringings or lack of play can block self-expression as adults • Why play strengthens relationships, community, and emotional connection • One simple way to bring more play into your day — starting right now Key Takeaways: ✅ When play disappears, so does curiosity, creativity, and confidence ✅ Adults who suppress play often feel disconnected, anxious, or creatively blocked ✅ Play isn't childish — it's medicine for your nervous system ✅ You can rewire your stress response through small, daily moments of joy and play ✅ The most powerful form of healing sometimes looks like laughter, movement, and imagination Find Cas Holman here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/casholman/?hl=en Website: https://casholman.com/ Timestamps: 0:00 – Introduction 2:53 – What Kids Did That Adults Need to Rediscover 6:30 – Free Play vs Structured Play 12:10 – Why Unstructured Play is Critical for Child Development 17:13 – How Adults Suppress Play & the "Play Voice" vs "Adult Voice" 23:18 – Three Steps to Reconnect with Play as an Adult 34:01 – Simple Shifts: How to Make Daily Life More Playful 45:20 – How Play Strengthens Relationships & Partnerships 51:17 – One Playful Practice to Try This Week 54:29 – About the Book: "Playful" – Science, Stories & Solutions
