Podcasts about Thrive

What's the opposite of cancer? If you answered “cure,” “antidote,” or “antivenom” — you've obviously been reading the antonym section at www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/cancer.But today's guest Athena Aktipis says that the opposite of cancer is us: it's having a functional multicellular body that's cooperating effectively in order to make that multicellular body function.If, like us, you found her answer far more satisfying than the dictionary, maybe you could consider closing your dozens of merriam-webster.com tabs, and start listening to this podcast instead.Rebroadcast: this episode was originally released in January 2023.Links to learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.link/AA As Athena explains in her book The Cheating Cell, what we see with cancer is a breakdown in each of the foundations of cooperation that allowed multicellularity to arise: Cells will proliferate when they shouldn't. Cells won't die when they should. Cells won't engage in the kind of division of labour that they should. Cells won't do the jobs that they're supposed to do. Cells will monopolise resources. And cells will trash the environment.When we think about animals in the wild, or even bacteria living inside our cells, we understand that they're facing evolutionary pressures to figure out how they can replicate more; how they can get more resources; and how they can avoid predators — like lions, or antibiotics.We don't normally think of individual cells as acting as if they have their own interests like this. But cancer cells are actually facing similar kinds of evolutionary pressures within our bodies, with one major difference: they replicate much, much faster.Incredibly, the opportunity for evolution by natural selection to operate just over the course of cancer progression is easily faster than all of the evolutionary time that we have had as humans since Homo sapiens came about.Here's a quote from Athena:“So you have to shift your thinking to be like: the body is a world with all these different ecosystems in it, and the cells are existing on a time scale where, if we're going to map it onto anything like what we experience, a day is at least 10 years for them, right? So it's a very, very different way of thinking.”You can find compelling examples of cooperation and conflict all over the universe, so Rob and Athena don't stop with cancer. They also discuss:Cheating within cells themselvesCooperation in human societies as they exist today — and perhaps in the future, between civilisations spread across different planets or starsWhether it's too out-there to think of humans as engaging in cancerous behaviourWhy elephants get deadly cancers less often than humans, despite having way more cellsWhen a cell should commit suicideThe strategy of deliberately not treating cancer aggressivelySuperhuman cooperationAnd at the end of the episode, they cover Athena's new book Everything is Fine!

Sometimes the adventure does not arrive as a bold leap. Sometimes it begins in a quiet moment when we realize we can choose again. In this short preview conversation, I sit down with Tara Wear, an experienced coach and leader who has spent more than 30 years supporting individuals and teams in becoming their best selves.We first connected through the TEDx Spokane community, where Tara supported me as I prepared my upcoming talk, and this conversation opened up so much wisdom. We talk about burnout, leadership, intention, and self-awareness, especially during seasons like the holidays or the transition into a new year. Tara reminds us that intention is not something we set once and forget. Every moment offers a choice, and every choice creates a new way forward.This episode is a short teaser and preview of our full conversation, which will be released in the coming days. In the full episode, we go deeper into Tara's coaching work with women, her shift toward burnout recovery and thriving, and even a word she uses that surprised me and may surprise you, too.Tara also shares about her upcoming Women's Winter Book Club focused on self-compassion and burnout recovery, where women will read, reflect, and practice together in a small group setting.A reflection to tryNotice one moment today where you feel rushed, overwhelmed, or self-critical. Pause, take one slow breath, and ask yourself, What would it look like to choose again right here? Let the answer be simple.If you are feeling tired, overwhelmed, or quietly longing for something more grounded, let this be a gentle pause. The adventure is already here.Links and resources mentionedWebsite https://readytothriveco.comEmail: thrivewithtaraw@gmail.comWomen's Winter Book Club details under Packages: https://app.paperbell.com/checkout/packages/185601Book Mindful Self-Compassion for Burnout by Dr. Kristin Neff and Dr. Christopher Germer: https://a.co/d/h10F5YnSend us a text Support the show✨ Join My TEDx Spokane Journey!

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode includes mentions of abortion and some strong language. If you're starting this year feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like life has been happening to you rather than with you, this episode will feel like a reset button. Francesca Amber, host of the UK's biggest self-development book club and author of Manifest Like a Mother, joins Zoe to share the real, lived experience behind manifesting as a mum. Not the polished Instagram version, but the version built in lockdown, with twins, a four-year-old, no childcare, no income, and sheer survival mode. This is manifesting in real life, messy life, where the tools have to work in chaos, not in perfect conditions. In this conversation, you'll learn: Why manifesting looks different for mothers—and why traditional advice often fails us How to set meaningful goals by working with the season of life you're in How to overcome limiting beliefs using Francesca's “courtroom method” Practical ways to weave self-worth, energy, and manifestation into the realities of motherhood You don't need perfect routines to create change—just small, consistent actions that fit real family life. Your challenges can become your fuel, your self-worth can grow through everyday habits, and you're always allowed to choose a new, aligned chapter. Let this conversation be your starting point.

So many women grow up hearing that we should be able to have it all, yet very few of us are ever shown what that actually looks like in real life.In this episode, Emily welcomes Corinne Lowe, an associate professor of Business Economics and Public Policy. Corinne shares insights from her book, Having It All: What Data Tells Us About Women's Lives and Getting the Most Out of Yours, which examines gender wage gaps, structural discrimination, and the pressures women face when balancing career, family, and personal life.This conversation focuses on redefining success in a way that truly fits your values, being more intentional with your time, and finding fulfillment on your own terms. You'll also come away with practical strategies for workplace negotiations, rethinking productivity, and creating a more sustainable balance between work and life.Listen and Learn: How structural barriers limit women's career and wage growth, and encourage redefining success by focusing on personal fulfillment and leveling up within those realitiesHow women face systemic workplace barriers that collectively limit their opportunities and earnings, and why addressing these issues benefits everyoneDebunking myths about women's performance, showing that traits like negotiation skill and competitiveness are not inferior, and that focusing on evidence-based skill-building is what truly drives successUnderstanding and prioritizing your own “utility function” to help women focus on what matters to them, rather than constantly comparing themselves to othersHow to rethink your career as a tool for turning time into meaningful fulfillment, balance life's chapters intentionally, and confidently understand your market value to make work serve youReclaiming your time, setting boundaries, and making intentional choices to focus on what truly brings joy and meaning to your family and life, instead of being trapped by guilt, obligation, or unrealistic expectationsReframing parenting and self-care as “human capital” investment, showing how the time and care you give to your children and to yourself is meaningful, economically valuable, and essential for long-term wellbeingResources: Having It All: What Data Tells Us About Women's Lives and Getting the Most Out of Yours: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781250369512Corrine's Website: https://www.corinnelow.com Connect with Corrine on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/corinnelowphd/https://www.linkedin.com/in/corinne-lowhttps://www.facebook.com/people/Corinne-Low Read More About Corrine's Work on Substack: https://corinnelow.substack.com/ About Corinne LowCorinne Low is an Associate Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania where she teaches an award-winning class (and was named one of Poets and Quants 40 MBA Professors under 40 in 2024).

You're listening to Healthy Wealthy Wise Artist, the podcast that helps artists, performers, makers, storytellers, and creative souls of any kind reconnect with their creative identity in a world that moves too fast.In this episode, Lara explores three deeply ingrained beliefs that quietly hold artists back — especially in a saturated, comparison-driven creative culture. These aren't productivity problems or mindset “blocks,” but identity-level lies that distort how artists interpret effort, rest, and other people's success. You'll learn how to recognise these patterns, release unnecessary self-doubt, and reconnect with a steadier sense of creative worth.Show notes and blog:

What does it mean for a church to thrive when membership is declining, resources feel scarce, and the future is uncertain? In this episode, Loren is joined by Kory Wilcoxson and Erin Cash to talk about their book, Thriving Church: What We Can Learn from Faithful Congregations, and the real-world practices of congregations navigating change with courage and clarity. Drawing from years of congregational research and ministry experience, the conversation explores how churches can remain faithful to their calling without being governed by fear, metrics, or nostalgia. Kory and Erin reflect on the importance of grounding ministry in Scripture, revisiting mission and vision regularly, and honoring the past without being constrained by it. Rather than equating thriving with growth, the episode makes a case for faithfulness, imagination, and adaptability—especially in mainline Protestant contexts where decline is often assumed to be the whole story. Topics include: Why thriving is not the same as numerical growth How fear distorts mission—and how clarity restores it What it looks like for a church to be both “dying” and thriving Honoring history without letting it become a barrier to change Why Scripture still matters deeply for faithful congregations This episode is a grounded, hopeful conversation for pastors and church leaders discerning how to lead well in seasons of transition.   Rev. Dr. Kory Wilcoxson has served as the Senior Pastor of Crestwood Christian Church in Lexington, Ky., since 2009. Prior to moving to Lexington, he served for twelve years as a pastor in the Chicago and Indianapolis areas. Wilcoxson holds degrees from Indiana University ((BA in Speech Communication), Ohio University (MA in Interpersonal Communication), Christian Theological Seminary (Master of Divinity), and Lexington Theological Seminary (Doctor of Divinity). Wilcoxson has served in a number of leadership positions within the Kentucky Region and Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) denomination, including moderator of the Kentucky Regional Board, chair of the Board of Directors for the Council on Christian Unity (now the Christian Unity and Interfaith Ministry), and member of the Board of Directors for Disciples Home Missions. Wilcoxson is also the executive director of Compassionate Lexington, an organization which seeks to promote the core value of compassion through concrete action. Wilcoxson has two adult daughters: Sydney and Molly. He enjoys reading, running, and rooting on his beloved Cincinnati Reds.   Erin Cash is the Project Director for the Thriving Congregations Project at Lexington Theological Seminary.  Prior to this role, Erin served as Director of Admissions at LTS for over 8 years.  She is a graduate of Greenville University in Greenville, IL, Candler School of Theology at Emory University in Atlanta, GA, and Lexington Theological Seminary in Lexington, KY. Ordained in 2006, Erin enjoys the opportunities she has to serve in pulpit supply, guest lectures, and as a lay leader in her own congregation. Erin has served as Moderator for the Christian Church In Kentucky, as co-chair of the Local Arrangements team for Regional Assembly, and as co-chair for the Local Arrangements Team of the General Assembly. She also serves as Kentucky's representative to the General Board, chairing the General Assembly Planning Committee there.  Erin is deeply passionate about the work of the local and the Regional church. She is co-author of the book Thriving Church: What You Can Learn from Faithful Congregations now available from Chalice Press. Erin is part of a clergy couple.  Her husband, Chris, is the Senior Pastor at FCC Georgetown, having formerly served North Middletown Christian Church and Oxford Christian Church.  She is mom to Ella, who is a Junior at Murray State University. In her free time, Erin enjoys baking, hiking, exploring the National Parks, baseball games, and any experience that involves a lake, pool, or the ocean.   Mentioned Resources:

This discussion features: Judah Thomas, Lenny Salgado, Ben Cossette, Mike McHugh, James Gowell, and Tim Nicholson.Edited by: Tim NicholsonIn Week 4 of Hebrews 1–3, we ask a simple question with huge implications: Prophet, Guru, or This Jesus?Mike opens with how Hebrews warns God's people about false idols—and why that warning still matters today.James then dives into Hebrews 3 across translations, NASB1995 “consider Jesus", LEB "consider Jesus", NLT “this Jesus”, what the Greek carries for the word "consider", and why we're called to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and pursue the truth.Judah walks through major world religions and how many acknowledge Jesus as a real historical person—yet redefine Him as a prophet, teacher, guru, or divine messenger. But Hebrews confronts us with this Jesus—and with Jesus' own claim: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)From there, we go “trust but verify” with the Dead Sea Scrolls and some seriously fun history rabbit trails—while continuing to marinate on the same three chapters for the fourth week in a row.This is an epic episode: strong conversation, great detours, and lots to think about. Come along for the ride.Read along with us: Hebrews 1–3Help us spread the word about Thriving in the Word—and thanks for being part of the family.

Longing After Betrayal: Grieving the Future You Thought You'd Have There's a very specific ache that shows up after betrayal—especially during the holidays. It's not just missing a person. It's grieving the future you thought you were building…and the version of you who once believed in it. In this episode, we talk about longing—not as a problem to fix, but as a signal of healing, a doorway back to self-trust, and a gentle bridge into what's next. Longing after betrayal can feel confusing and even scary—because wanting, hoping, and believing once led to pain. But longing isn't weakness, and it doesn't mean you're stuck or that you “made a mistake.” In this episode, Lora Cheadle explores why the holidays amplify longing (hello, Hallmark movies), why longing is often grief and love intertwined, and how longing can become a powerful compass back to self-trust. You'll learn how to honor the future you lost without rushing into a new one, and you'll be guided through a presencing practice and intentional silence to help regulate your nervous system and listen inward. Plus, Lora invites you into her $26 Vision Board Workshop on January 10—a gentle, guided container to help you reconnect with what still matters and shape what comes next without pressure. Top 3 Takeaways Longing doesn't mean you want your old life back—it means something meaningful mattered. You're not “doing it wrong” if you ache; you're human, and you're grieving a future you imagined. After betrayal, many women don't stop trusting others—they stop trusting themselves to want again. Avoiding longing isn't failure; it's protection that hasn't been updated yet. Longing can become a compass when you stop trying to resolve it. Instead of asking “What do I want next?” try asking, “What does my longing still care about?”—and let that guide you gently forward.

After more than 20 years of homesteading, we are looking back and sharing what we wish we had known when we first started.In this episode of Everyday Homesteading, we talk honestly about the mistakes we made, the pressure to do everything at once, and the lessons that helped us find a more peaceful, sustainable rhythm. From gardening and kitchen skills to land size, infrastructure, and people-first priorities, this conversation is full of perspective for anyone feeling overwhelmed on their homesteading journey.Whether you're just getting started or you've been at this for years, we hope this episode helps you slow down, focus on what matters most, and remember that homesteading is a lifelong journey, not a destination.

When betrayal shatters your reality, your brain wants answers: Why did this happen? Why me? What am I supposed to do now? This episode offers a grounded, empowering lens—astrology as an energetic language—to help you understand patterns, rebuild self-trust, and move forward without giving your power away. Lora sits down with professional astrologer Vanya Banks (AstroBloom) for a refreshingly real conversation about what astrology actually is (and what it's not). Together they explore how birth charts can illuminate subconscious patterns, attachment dynamics, nervous system needs, and “soul lessons”—especially in the wake of infidelity or betrayal. You'll hear practical ways to use astrology for self-awareness, healing, ritual, and relationship insight, plus a grounded take on Mercury retrograde that replaces fear with clarity.   Top 3 Takeaways Astrology isn't fate—it's insight. It reveals influences, patterns, and possibilities so you can make conscious choices (not excuses). Your Moon sign is a powerful healing tool. It can show how you seek safety, what soothes your nervous system, and where boundaries and self-nurturing matter most—especially after betrayal. Retrogrades are review seasons, not doom seasons. Mercury retrograde is an invitation to reassess communication and alignment—without handing your power over to “pop astrology.”   Favorite Quote “Astrology brings the unconscious to the surface—so you can choose consciously instead of calling it fate.” About Vanja Banks Vanja Banks is an Astrologer, Soul Alchemist, and Embodiment Guide who supports women in awakening their soul remembrance, body wisdom, and cosmic magic through the portals of astrology, Tantra, and alchemy. After walking through profound personal losses - including the ending of a 14-year marriage and the dissolution of a life she'd built - Vanja was initiated by grief. What began as heartbreak became a sacred descent into self-remembering. Through astrology's archetypal language and the somatic rituals of Tantra - the sacred art of presence & embodiment - she found a roadmap back to wholeness, learning that grief is not something to “get over,” but a living current that reshapes us into more awake, tender, and embodied versions of ourselves. Today, she guides others through this same alchemy - transforming grief into growth, loss into liberation, and emotion into embodied wisdom.

EP:173 In this episode of Thrive Like a Parent, I'm getting real about what it actually feels like when you start coming out of fight or flight—and why it often feels worse before it feels better. I walk you through my own journey of living in survival mode for years: high-risk pregnancies, preemies, solo parenting, Jonathan's mental health struggles, his passing, and the long, messy process of grief. I share how year one after losing Jonathan was pure fight or flight, and how year two was a completely different kind of hard: deep exhaustion, brain fog, heaviness, and feeling “lazy” even though it was really my nervous system finally trying to land the plane. We'll talk about: The real signs you're coming out of fight or flight (and why it can mimic depression) Why you feel so tired, unproductive, and snappy with loved ones How your brain has been patterned to believe go-go-go = safety Why slowing down feels terrifying, “wrong,” or like you're failing What your body actually needs: sleep, water, nourishment, gentle movement, and true rest How society and immediacy culture keep us stuck in overfunctioning and burnout. I'll give you permission (and language) to tell your brain, “I am safe,” even when you're resting on the couch and that inner critic is screaming “lazy.” This episode is your reminder that feeling heavy, tired, and low when you step out of survival mode does not mean you're broken—it means your brain and body are recalibrating. If you're ready to slowly step out of fight or flight, three to five percent at a time, this conversation will help you feel seen, understood, and not alone. If this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend who's been living in survival mode.

Happy New Year, Thrivesters!  Today we're diving into one of my favorite rituals: choosing the one word (or phrase) that becomes your True North for the year ahead. Not a resolution. Not a list. Not pressure in disguise. Just a single grounding idea that guides how you show up, move, and make decisions.I've been using a “word of the year” for over a decade, and when I tell you it works…it works. One of my past words, Thrive, ended up inspiring my vision board, my daily screensaver, a feature in Thrive Global, and eventually – yes - the Thrive Hive Podcast. That's how powerful aligned intention is.I've had missteps too. Some words fall flat. Some years fall apart. And that's all part of the process.This year my word is FRESH.And the story behind it is equal parts hilarious and incredibly insightful. (Spoiler: it started with my husband insisting on “showing up fresh” and me being a bit bratty about it.)Then I thought about this idea of “fresh”.   What if fresh wasn't a luxury… but a choice? A mindset? A way of living where you stop powering through and start choosing presence, boundaries, rest, clarity, and a fresh approach to the things that matter?Imagine giving yourself:✨ fresh perspective✨ fresh habits✨ fresh grace✨ fresh energy✨ fresh beginnings—even in places that feel oldThink of fresh as the antidote to “just push through.” It's not perfection. It's renewal.We're stepping into 2026 with fresh energy - shedding the old like the Year of the Snake, and galloping into the new like the Year of the Horse (because yes, we're talking Chinese astrology too).This year is going to move.And I want all of us ready Thrivesters - not exhausted, not depleted, not dragging yourself to the starting line.Fresh. As. A. Daisy. Welcome to 2026, Thrivesters.

The first day of a new year can feel… a lot. Full of pressure, expectation, and that whisper of “I should be doing better.” This New Year episode is your antidote to all of that. A gentle reset. A grounding moment. A reminder that you get to set the tone for 2026 — not the world around you. In this six-minute message, I share three simple, powerful ideas to help you step into 2026 feeling supported, hopeful and more connected to yourself, even if life feels messy or overwhelming right now. This isn't about resolutions, reinventions or “new year, new you”.It's about choosing ease, reconnecting with who you're becoming, and making one tiny promise to yourself that actually sticks. In this episode, you'll hear: Why doing less (not more) might be the key to 2026 How to ease the pressure and make the year feel lighter A simple reframe: “Who am I becoming?” One tiny daily promise to rebuild trust and confidence It's a soft, steady way to start the year, rooted, intentional, and full of compassion for the real life you're living. Wherever you are listening from today, tired, hopeful, overwhelmed, excited, or somewhere in between -  you're not behind, you're not failing, and you're doing far better than you think.

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.   As we approach the end of the year, I'm pausing to look back and celebrate all of the wonderful guests that I had the honor of speaking to on the show. And based on your feedback, many of these guests resonated with you as well so we're giving you another chance to revisit the stories, insights, and lessons you loved most in 2025!   This week, I'm excited to highlight an episode with Tasha Eurich.   Tasha is an organizational psychologist, leadership researcher and bestselling author known for her ability to blend science and real-world insight. Her TED Talks have garnered over 10 million views. She has been named one of the world's top three most influential coaches, the Changemaker of the Decade, and one of the top 30 Emerging Management Thinkers by Thinkers50. Her latest book, Shatterproof, combines cutting-edge research with a powerful personal narrative to offer a transformative roadmap for navigating uncertainty and building true mental toughness.    THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…leaders, professionals, and high achievers who are pushing themselves to keep going in a chaotic world and wondering why it's not working anymore.    TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…we've been taught to push harder when things get tough, but what if that's not the solution? In this conversation, Tasha returns to the podcast to discuss why traditional resilience practices may no longer be sufficient. Drawing on new research from her book Shatterproof, she introduces a powerful roadmap for navigating constant chaos without burning out. If you've ever hit your "resilience ceiling" or felt stuck in hustle culture with nothing to show for it, this conversation will help you reframe how to thrive without self-gaslighting or grinding yourself into the ground.    KEY TAKEAWAYS…  Why "grit gaslighting" is holding many high performers back  What the "resilience ceiling" is and how to know when you've hit it  The difference between pushing through and truly becoming shatterproof  Three core human needs that must be met in order to thrive    WHAT I LOVE MOST…Tasha's insight that "resilient people push through while ignoring their needs, but shatterproof people harness their challenges to meet them." That reframing is a game-changer.    Running Time: 29:16      Subscribe on iTunes       Find Tiffani Online:  LinkedIn  Facebook  X      Find Tasha Online:  LinkedIn  Instagram  YouTube    Tasha's Book:  Shatterproof: How to Thrive in a World of Constant Chaos (And Why Resilience Alone Isn't Enough)    Resilience Quiz:  https://resilience-quiz.com/  

GET YOUR TICKETS NOW! THRIVE in 2026 - Women's Event: https://www.youaremore.com Hey guys — welcome to 2026.I don't know about you, but something about this year feels different to me. Not just another fresh start… but a moment. A line in the sand. A decision point.So today, I want to ask you a simple but powerful question:What does December 2026 need to look like for you to honestly say, “Wow… that was the most epic year of my life”?Because here's the truth — I've asked myself that question for the last few years. And if I'm being completely honest? While there was growth… while there was movement… I didn't accomplish what I knew I was capable of.And I had to get real with myself.This episode is about what it's actually going to take to possess — not wish for — your dreams in 2026.I talk about why hoping isn't enough anymore. Why vision without action leads to frustration. And why this year is going to require radical commitment, not comfort.We talk about:Why you must see the vision, not casually think about itWhy clarity creates movement — and confusion keeps you stuckWhy continuing the same thoughts and habits guarantees the same lifeHow comfort, certainty, and growth are constantly in tensionWhy your kids don't just need your words — they need your exampleHow stacking small wins creates momentum that changes everythingI also share personal stories — from watching my dad work third shift while building a business, to realizing how fast time moves when my kids just turned 11.This is not about hustling harder.This is about deciding — once and for all — that you are done pushing your dreams down the road.2026 doesn't need to be louder.It needs to be intentional.If you've felt emotionally thin… worn out… or like the last season took more than it gave — you are not alone. But this year can be different.And it starts with a decision.

Parts Work allows you an all-access pass to wholeness by understanding, befriending, and leading the multiple voices within yourself. * In this episode, CIIS somatic psychology professor Christine Gindi talks with psychotherapist and author Britt Frank about using Parts Work to meet our inner critics, inner children, and inner shadows to help tame anxiety, heal trauma, and overcome self-doubt. * This episode was recorded during a live online event on August 14th, 2025.
