Day 3 of Heart Renewal: Letting Love In Again follows the arc of Ground—returning to your body when love feels uncertain and the mind wants to spiral into "what if." In this episode, you'll practice the Let Go Breath (inhale 4, exhale 8—or 4/6— for 8 rounds), a longer-exhale technique designed to calm stress arousal and anchor you in the present moment. This grounding practice helps release emotional urgency, reduce overthinking, and bring you back to steady self-trust—so you can stay connected to yourself while you navigate love with clarity and calm. Featured technique: Let Go Breath (4 in / 8 out, or 4/6) x 8 rounds Best for: anxious waiting, rumination, uncertainty in dating/relationships, emotional bracing Takeaway: When you ground, you stop chasing certainty—and start choosing from self-respect. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to Heart Renewal: Letting Love In Again—a 7-day meditation series designed to help you gently reopen your heart with both tenderness and wisdom. Whether you're seeking a relationship or you're in one and love feels distant, this week will guide you to release what you've been carrying, calm your nervous system, rebuild emotional safety, and create the inner conditions where love can return—without forcing it. Each day follows a simple arc—Release, Safety, Desire, Boundaries, Receiving, Repair, and Choose Again—with breathwork, visualization, and reflective prompts to help you soften protective patterns, trust yourself again, and feel more open to giving and receiving love in real life. This is day 3 of a 7-day meditation series, "Heart Renewal Meditations: Letting Love In Again," episodes 3358-3364. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - LOVE IN PRACTICE QUEST: Each day, do one small "letting love in" action— release something heavy, soften your body, express an honest desire, set a gentle boundary, receive without deflecting, make a repair, or choose again. Track it with 7 checkmarks and notice how quickly your heart starts to feel safer, steadier, and more open.

Leave this practice feeling calmer, lighter, and more emotionally spacious—ready to let love in again without forcing it. Featured technique: Affirmation + resting attention Best for: emotional heaviness, rumination, guardedness, uncertainty in love Takeaway: You don't have to solve the whole story to feel relief—you can release what's heavy one breath at a time.

In this episode of the Uncommon Wealth Podcast, Phillip Ramsey dives into the integral part of business success that many overlook—tracking and analyzing business numbers. Phillip opens the episode with insights into how too many entrepreneurs shy away from the seemingly mundane yet essential task of understanding their business metrics. With a background rooted in disciplined financial practices from his pharmaceutical days under mentor Mark Johnson, Phillip illustrates the power of routine number tracking.The episode sheds light on the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), a transformational framework for business management praised by Phillip. He shares his personal journey of utilizing this system to keep tabs on key financial metrics such as revenue and expenses. SEO keywords peppered through the discussion include "business metrics," "financial tracking," and "Entrepreneurial Operating System," underscoring their importance in pursuing a unique business path. Phillip emphasizes the value of consistent number tracking, noting its critical role in informed business decisions, especially during pivotal moments such as buying out a business partner and navigating financial rebuilding.Key Takeaways: Importance of Routine: Establishing a consistent routine for tracking financial metrics can simplify year-end processes and strategic planning. Key Metrics: Identifying and tracking essential business metrics, like revenue and expenses, help in making informed business decisions. EOS Framework: The Entrepreneurial Operating System helps businesses streamline operations by focusing on core metrics and long-term vision. Joy in the Journey: The process and daily operations of tracking and understanding numbers bring satisfaction and sustainability, beyond the end results. Flexibility and Reflection: Regularly reviewing tracked data provides insights into past challenges and triumphs, allowing for strategic realignment and growth.Notable Quotes: "At the end of the day, this has been a learned behavior for me as I look back at my whole career path." - Phillip Ramsey "The greatest part about this that Mark knew is if we continued to do it monthly and did it well, it would develop a routine." - Phillip Ramsey "The best time to plant a tree was yesterday. The second best is today." - Phillip Ramsey "Numbers tell a story if you can read them." - Phillip Ramsey

Screamin' Jay Hawkins released “I Put a Spell on You” in 1956 on Okeh Records. Elvis Presley released “Heartbreak Hotel” and “Hound Dog,” transforming popular music—and youth culture—almost overnight. The song that would define him was never meant to be a novelty. Hawkins later claimed he recorded it while blackout drunk, so intoxicated that he remembered nothing of the session. The record failed on its initial release, but when it caught on years later, it transformed Hawkins from a struggling musician into a cult figure. “I Put a Spell on You” has been covered countless times and featured in films released decades after its debut. The artists and movies mentioned in this story are real. The song's cultural afterlife is long, strange, and very well documented. But were Hawkins's voodoo trappings merely theatrics, or was there something more sinister behind them? Of course it was all for show—almost certainly. Still, the idea that it might not have been was enough to send several fictional possibilities leaping out of the coffin that is this author's brain. I hope you enjoy “I Put a Spell on You.” Written and performed by Scott Sigler Production Assistance by Allie Press Copyright 2026 by Empty Set Entertainment Theme music is the song “Dark Wave” by Roman Rumyantsev With Valentine's Day just around the corner, why not surprise your sweetheart with a new 3-year domain registration?

Welcome to Day 1 of Heart Renewal: Letting Love In Again, where the arc is Release—softly letting go of what past love left behind so you can feel lighter now. In today's episode, you'll explore the question: "What am I ready to release from past love so I can feel lighter now?" and learn why the nervous system can keep old heartbreak, disappointment, or uncertainty "stored" as tension, overthinking, or emotional guarding. You'll be guided through a calming breath practice and a gentle visualization to set down emotional weight without denying what you've been through. Leave this meditation feeling more open, more grounded, and more available for love—starting with the love you offer yourself.

Do you want to own your time, work less, and live more? What if the point isn't maxing out every account forever, but designing a week you don't want to escape from? This is the Coast FI life built by our guest today, Andy Hill. He shares the steps you can take to put your family first and escape the 9-5 grind: for good! He takes us through the full arc: starting married life at –$50K net worth, killing the debt in a year with budget parties, saving 40–50% to hit around $500K in investments by forty, then realizing that number was enough for Coast FI. With all that, he realized that what he really wanted was time. Andy is an award-winning blogger, podcaster, and family finance coach behind Marriage, Kids, and Money. He's also author of the new book 'Own Your Time: 10 Financial Steps to Put Your Family First and Escape the Corporate Grind', which walks readers through simple, yet highly effective steps families can take to achieve family financial independence. It also features real-life examples of couples who've conquered these family financial independence milestones and found better lives for themselves because of it. ==================== DEALS & DISCOUNTS FROM OUR TRUSTED PARTNERS: MONARCH MONEY The modern way to manage money!

The career moves that paid off. The money habits that stuck. And what earning big this young really feels like when the stakes are high. We also unpack the full story behind the two properties she owns, including the one she bought with a friend. Spoiler. It did not end well. This episode goes into what happens when the plan makes sense on paper, but the relationship falls apart, and how she handled the fallout without everything blowing up.

Do you ever feel like you always fall into the same patterns? You're consistent for a little while… You make progress… Then suddenly—something derails you. Again. And you're stuck in the same loop. What if the real issue isn't your motivation or your willpower— What if it's the story you keep telling yourself? In this episode, we're digging into one of the most powerful, yet overlooked, forces shaping your results: the beliefs and narratives running in the background of your mind. The ones you don't even realize are optional. The ones that feel like facts. We'll explore how: Your patterns mirror your perspective Your beliefs become the track your life runs on Most people are living according to unexamined stories that sabotage their consistency And most importantly, how to recognize these stories— …and upgrade them so your habits and results can finally change. You don't want to miss this one.
In Day 7 of Mood Mastery the Samurai Way, inspired by the steady-minded wisdom of Miyamoto Musashi, you'll complete the week with a gentle review and integration practice. This episode guides you to reflect on what shifted for you—what steadied your mood, what helped you return to calm, and what you want to carry forward—so the progress you made becomes something your body remembers. You'll briefly revisit the week's tools—your equanimity affirmation, Samurai breathing, Prithvi Mudra for clarity, and Second Chakra flow—then choose a simple "carry-forward" ritual you can repeat in just a few minutes. Leave feeling grounded in your growth, clear about what works for you, and quietly confident stepping into the next week with more balance and inner command. Focus: Weekly review + integration Best for: strengthening consistency, emotional balance, self-trust, and sustainable calm Takeaway: Mood mastery isn't perfection—it's practice, reflection, and a steady return. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to Mastering Your Moods—a meditation series designed to help you stop feeling at the mercy of your emotions and start feeling steady, clear, and in charge of how you respond. Moods can shift fast—one message, one memory, one stressful moment—and suddenly you're anxious, irritated, heavy, or overwhelmed. In this series, you'll learn how to work with your nervous system instead of against it, using simple daily practices that help you regulate in real time—so you can come back to yourself without spiraling, snapping, or shutting down. This isn't about pretending you're fine; it's about building emotional skill: noticing what you feel, understanding what's underneath it, and shifting your state with calm, practical tools you can actually use in your real life. This is day 7 of a 7-day meditation series, "Mood Mastery: From Reactive to Regulated," episodes 3043-3049.

This is your "whole system" meditation: steady the breath, anchor the body, clear the mind, and soften emotional resistance—so you can respond with quiet strength and graceful balance. Leave feeling calmer, clearer, and more emotionally regulated—ready to meet life with steadiness rather than reactivity. Featured practice: Layering affirmation + Samurai breath + Prithvi Mudra + Sacral Chakra flow Best for: overstimulation, mood swings, scattered focus, emotional overload, decision fatigue Takeaway: Steadiness isn't something you find—it's something you practice and return to.

Interview with Alexis Sikorsky, Strategic Advisor Most founders hit a wall at $5 million in revenue. Alexis Sikorsky, who led a nine-figure private equity exit, shares the proven framework for breaking through. Start by auditing your time. List every task you handle, then delegate everything that doesn't absolutely require the founder's touch. Stop attending meetings where you add minimal value. Next, build financial clarity. Track 10-20 metrics monthly—not quarterly. Focus on cash flow, margins, customer lifetime value, and capital efficiency. Upgrade leadership strategically. Fractional executives deliver senior expertise without the full-time price tag, but hire cohesive teams rather than disconnected contractors. For exit planning, understand that PE firms evaluate three-year potential, not just current performance. Clean your EBITDA and learn their language early.

The weeklong “Operation Reclaim and Rebuild” campaign was part of a yearly effort by the Los Angeles Regional Human Trafficking Task Force and 80 local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna laid out the exact numbers at a news conference, later posted on X. A total of 611 criminal arrests were made and 156 adults rescued as part of the operations, Luna told reporters. In addition, 14 children were rescued from sex trafficking. Officials said 71 suspected traffickers were arrested, and an additional 328 sex buyers were arrested. “This is a multibillion-dollar industry,” Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said. “It is nothing less than modern slavery.” According to the Los Angeles Times' reporting of the announcement: Source: breitbart.com Geopolitical Spain Amnesty: Gov't to Take Illegals' Word That They Don't Have Criminal Record The socialist Spanish government's amnesty scheme will allow illegal migrants to simply declare that they have no criminal record, rather than providing documentation from their native countries, sparking concern over criminals gaming the system. Last month, the left-wing coalition government of Socialist PM Pedro Sánchez agreed to allow upwards of half a million illegals seek amnesty and obtain residence permits to remain in Spain. While the scheme stipulates that amnesty will not apply to migrants with criminal records — other than the crime of entering Spain illegally — the regularisation decree published by the government this week revealed that Madrid will essentially be willing to take the word of illegal migrants about their past.

Laws are ironclad rules when they are convenient. 7. Opponents are dehumanized such that any atrocity that is inflicted on them is justified. 8. A major goal is to sway public opinion on the international stage and create the story that the aggressors are actually the victims. 9. Neither Hamas nor the Democrats can meme effectively. 10.

DHS Secretary Noem Identifies Another Leaker and Refers to DOJ for Prosecution The good news is the process to identify the subversive agents inside the various offices of the administration continues to yield results. there's a lot of them to identify and remove. Dept of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem shares another leaker has been identified and removed. Additionally, she is referring their conduct to the Dept of Justice for criminal prosecution. [SOURCE] The reason for that removal now seems to come to light with the release of letter former Agent Paul Brown sent to Elections Director Nadine Williams giving her a head's-up on the material the FBI was going to seize. FBI Agent Brown asks Ms Williams to voluntarily hand over the material, which has the result of giving Fulton County a heads-up about the specifics of the material the FBI were going to gather and review in their search warrant.

In April 2025, Gabbard told a Cabinet meeting that her office had obtained evidence showing U.S. electronic voting systems have long been vulnerable to hacking. “We have evidence of how these electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers and vulnerable to exploitation to manipulate the results of the votes being cast,” she said, adding that this supports the push for nationwide paper ballots so voters can trust the integrity of U.S. elections. https://twitter.com/canncon/status/2019054407954956637?s=20 Bureau of Investigation Vic Reynolds told Senator Perdue, “I’m a team player.

And Reynolds wasn’t the only person who ignored election fraud evidence or maladministration and got appointed to a Superior Court judgeship. He wasn’t even the second one. Reynolds was presented with video evidence, cell phone data, bank records, and testimony of a ballot harvester. Reynolds claimed that the GBI made “repeated requests” to True The Vote for their witness. True The Vote denies this saying that THEY actually reached out to GBI after their one and only meeting and were ignored. From TTV’s Catherine Engelbrecht: “After that meeting, we made repeated attempts to re-engage with the GBI and never received a response.” Why did Brian Kemp order GBI not to investigate an alleged crime, with evidence, that would ultimately lead to a UNPRECEDENTED RICO case against a former President and HIS party’s front-running candidate??

In Day 5 of Mood Mastery the Samurai Way, inspired by the steady inner discipline of Miyamoto Musashi, we focus on the Second Chakra (Sacral Chakra)—the center of emotional flow, creativity, and resilience. When moods feel stuck, heavy, or unpredictable, it often helps to soften control and allow feelings to move through you with calm attention. This meditation guides you to reconnect with the body's natural fluidity, easing emotional tension and restoring a steadier, more graceful relationship with what you feel. Leave this practice feeling lighter, more open, and more emotionally balanced—able to meet the day with quiet flexibility rather than resistance. Featured focus: Second Chakra (Sacral Chakra) for emotional balance and flow Best for: moodiness, emotional tightness, creative blocks, irritability, feeling "stuck" or drained Takeaway: Balance isn't forcing calm—it's allowing emotions to move with steadiness. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to Mastering Your Moods—a meditation series designed to help you stop feeling at the mercy of your emotions and start feeling steady, clear, and in charge of how you respond. Moods can shift fast—one message, one memory, one stressful moment—and suddenly you're anxious, irritated, heavy, or overwhelmed. In this series, you'll learn how to work with your nervous system instead of against it, using simple daily practices that help you regulate in real time—so you can come back to yourself without spiraling, snapping, or shutting down. This isn't about pretending you're fine; it's about building emotional skill: noticing what you feel, understanding what's underneath it, and shifting your state with calm, practical tools you can actually use in your real life. This is day 5 of a 7-day meditation series, "Mood Mastery: From Reactive to Regulated," episodes 3043-3049. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "Mushin (No Mind) Quest Musashi was known to advocate for the concept of mushin, or "no-mind," in combat. It involves acting without conscious thought, free from hesitation, fear, or distraction. By training himself to enter into a state of mushin during duels and battles, Musashi could maintain emotional equilibrium and react instinctively to his opponents' movements.

“You know, at the core of Working Genius, what it does is it allows us to avoid guilt and judgment—guilt about ourselves and judgment of others.” That's Patrick Lencioni, bestselling author and organizational health expert, talking about his breakthrough Working Genius productivity framework on the Sales Gravy podcast. If you're leading a sales team, this explains why high performers thrive in some roles and burn out in others. Right now, you probably have high performers who are miserable, rockstars who've lost their spark, and top reps who suddenly can't hit quota. And you're wondering—did you hire wrong, did someone lose their edge, or do you need to have “the conversation”? What if the problem isn't the person at all? The Real Reason Your Best People Are Struggling Not all work is created equal, and your sales reps aren't wired to do all of it. Lencioni stumbled on this insight while reflecting on himself. He'd show up to work loving his job and the people he worked with, yet swing from energized to frustrated without understanding why. His colleague asked, “Why are you like that?” Over a few hours, Lencioni and his team pinpointed six distinct types of work. Depending on which type you're doing, you're either energized or drained. Five years later, over 1.5 million people have taken the Working Genius assessment. Why? Most organizations force talented people into work that drains them, then blame them when they struggle. Most sales leaders hire a closer for their ability to seal deals, then wonder why they can't prospect. They promote a quota-crusher into management, then watch them implode under administrative responsibilities. Or move an account manager into new business development and act shocked when performance tanks. The talent was there all along, but their positioning was wrong. Six Types of Work—and Why Most People Only Excel at Two Patrick Lencioni identified six distinct types of work that exist in every organization: Wonder (W): Spotting opportunities, asking big-picture questions Invention (I): Creating new solutions, processes, or systems Discernment (D): Evaluating ideas, figuring out what will work Galvanizing (G): Rallying the team, getting people moving Enablement (E): Supporting others, clearing obstacles, making things happen Tenacity (T): Following through, finishing tasks, closing deals Here’s what matters: most people are strong in two, competent in two, and are drained by the remaining two. And there are no good or bad geniuses. Your closer with natural Tenacity isn’t more valuable than your strategic thinker with Wonder and Discernment. Your rep who rallies the team (Galvanizing) isn’t better than the one who quietly enables everyone behind the scenes. Different geniuses are valuable in different ways. The goal is to build a team where all six are represented, and people work in their areas of strength. Force someone into work that drains them, and sales team performance tanks. Leave them in their genius zones, and energy and results skyrocket. Stop Judging Your People (And Yourself) You’ve probably got a rep right now who frustrates you. Maybe they’re brilliant in client meetings but terrible at following up. Maybe they generate incredible account strategies, but can’t stand the daily grind of outbound prospecting. Maybe they close deals but never update the CRM. Your first instinct is to judge them. “They’re not coachable.” “They don’t care about the details.” “They’re lazy.” Working Genius removes that judgment. It shows you that their struggle isn’t about character—it’s about wiring. A rep isn't bad at follow-up because they don’t care. They’re bad at it because Tenacity isn’t their genius. A rep isn't a bad team player because they don't remove obstacles for others. Enablement isn't their strength. And here’s the part most sales leaders miss: you need to stop judging yourself, too. You feel guilty that you hate certain parts of your job. You think you should be better at forecasting, or administrative work, or whatever drains you. But guilt about your own limitations makes you harder on your team. When you accept that you’re not built to excel at everything, you can extend that same grace to others. You stop punishing people for being human and start positioning them for success. Start With Self-Reflection Which activities give you energy? Which leave you drained? I’ll be honest about my own wake-up call. I travel over 300 nights a year, giving keynotes and working with clients. Last summer, I got to the point where I thought I was going to have a mental breakdown. Days stacked with short calls, client check-ins, alignment meetings, and podcasts. I was furious when I got to the office, and furious when I left because those days completely destroy my brain. I’m a wonderer and a thinker. I need space to ideate. Without that time, I can’t function. So I implemented a new rule: no more than two meetings per day. I understood my working genius and restructured my time. Once you see your own patterns, look at your team. Track what lights people up and what slows them down. Patterns emerge quickly. How to Apply Working Genius to Your Sales Team We had a team member at Sales Gravy who was noticeably unhappy. Not complaining out loud, just clearly not thriving. When we looked at what the job required versus their working genius profile, the answer was obvious. We had them doing work completely opposite of their natural abilities. Once we restructured their role to align with their strengths, everything changed. Here's how you can apply it: Pair complementary geniuses. Big-picture thinkers need execution-focused partners. Strategic planners need implementers. Someone strong in Wonder and Invention but weak in Tenacity needs to work with someone who loves finishing and closing. Restructure roles around natural strengths. Don't force people into weaknesses. Reassign or support tasks that drain them. Be intentional with promotions. Top performers don’t automatically make good managers. Your best individual contributor may hate administrative work. Your best manager may dislike strategic planning. Know what fits before making moves. Have your team take the assessment. Get everyone’s working genius profile. Put it at their workstation. Use it in real-time during team meetings when you’re trying to figure out why something isn’t working. We do this at Sales Gravy, and it’s transformed how we work together. The Bottom Line Your sales team isn't broken, but your understanding of how they work might be. When you force talented people into roles that clash with their natural strengths, you get frustration, underperformance, and attrition. Then you blame the person and start hiring again. Everyone has areas of frustration. Everyone faces work they aren't naturally good at. Working Genius doesn't let people avoid the draining tasks—but it helps you understand why some work feels impossible, build teams that complement each other, and stop punishing your people for being human. Stop judging that rep who struggles with CRM updates. Stop feeling guilty that you hate certain parts of your job. Start positioning people where their natural abilities can shine. Over 1.5 million people have discovered their working genius. Most of them wish they’d found it sooner. Visit workinggenius.com and take the assessment. Use coupon code GRAVY for 20% off.

In Day 4 of Mood Mastery the Samurai Way, inspired by the steady presence of Miyamoto Musashi, you'll practice Prithvi Mudra (Earth Mudra) to cultivate clarity when your mind feels noisy or your emotions feel heavy. This simple hand gesture—ring finger and thumb gently touching—becomes a quiet anchor that helps you return to your center, steady your attention, and soften mental clutter. Rather than forcing answers, you'll create the inner conditions where clarity can naturally arise: grounded, calm, and unhurried. Leave this practice feeling more settled in your body, clearer in your mind, and more confident in your next step. Featured technique: Prithvi Mudra for clarity and steadiness Best for: mental fog, scattered focus, indecision, emotional overwhelm, feeling pulled in many directions Takeaway: Clarity doesn't come from pushing—it comes from returning to center.

As protests against federal immigration agents' use of deadly force in Minneapolis spread nationwide, privacy experts are raising alarms. Immigration agencies are using facial-recognition and other tools to identify immigrants – and to track American citizens who observe or protest ICE operations. The surveillance technology allows agents to scan people's faces and link them to government databases. It's a practice that those targeted say amounts to intimidation and retaliation. We talk about how the technologies work and what they mean for enforcement and civil liberties.

Strap in, because Jackie joins Brad Barrett for a crossover episode on the ChooseFI podcast, home of the world's largest FI community! Together, they rewind all the way back to 2017, when Jackie first stumbled onto ChooseFI… and everything changed. She recounts her journey to reaching early retirement by December 2019, and using that freedom to go back to school, get her CFP, and write 'F.I.R.E. for Dummies'. Then the two of them dive deep into the fundamentals and break down what financial independence really means. They explain why even ten dollars a month can spark a lifelong investing habit, and how Jackie's first investment club taught her the power of community and compounding. They decode 401(k)s, demystify fund selection, and spotlight the quiet villain of investing: expense ratios. The episode widens from there: debt payoff strategies, designing a modest but deeply rich life on $40–45K a year in Ohio, negotiating everything from internet bills to insurance premiums, and the emotional transformation from paycheck-to-paycheck lifestyle to feeling 'directionally correct.' They conclude with the realization that FI isn't just about money, it's about options. Whether you're a late starter, brand new or ten years into the journey; returning to the basics is how you stay grounded, stay motivated, and stay on course. ==================== DEALS & DISCOUNTS FROM OUR TRUSTED PARTNERS: MONARCH MONEY The modern way to manage money!

“My times were dropping and it was so exciting. Every week, they were dropping, dropping, dropping. It was pretty early in the season, too. At that point, I hadn't even made NCAAs. At the time when I ran 2:00, I had the number one time in the country. There was a lot that happened super fast… I think that was my favorite race of my life. I never even thought in my mind that I could run 2:00 even earlier on in the season. It broadened the horizons of what I think I'm capable of in the future and to never limit myself.”My guest for today's episode is Victoria Bossong. This week on the podcast, CITIUS MAG is bringing you interviews with some of Team New Balance's latest signees as we celebrate five years of partnering with them on all things from the high school to the professional front. Yesterday, we brought you an interview with Roisin Willis and now we've got another strong rising 800m runner.Victoria was a star high school sprinter in Maine who almost on a whim tried the 800m late into her prep career and found success. Fast forward a few years and she's fully committed to the event. In 2025 while at Harvard, she was the NCAA Indoor Championships runner-up and ran an outdoor personal best of 1:59.48. She just opened up her indoor season as a pro with an indoor 1000m PB of 2:36. Off the track, she's just as impressive. She has her degree in neuroscience and has worked in a Harvard Medical School lab. In our chat, she discusses how she managed to balance all of that as a student-athlete, how she comes at the 800m from more of a sprinter background, and her goals for her first professional season.____________Host: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez on InstagramGuest: Victoria Bossong | @victoriabossong on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr on Instagram____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSUSATF: The USATF Indoor Track and Field Championships presented by Prevagen are back in New York City from February 28th to March 1st at the Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex in Staten Island.

Day 3 of Mood Mastery the Samurai Way is a practice for calm under pressure. Today you'll learn a Samurai Breathing Technique—a steady, disciplined breath pattern designed to help you interrupt emotional reactivity, settle your nervous system, and return to clear focus when your mood starts to surge. This is the kind of practice you can use in real life: before a difficult conversation, when you feel rushed, or the moment you notice yourself spiraling. You'll leave this episode feeling more centered, composed, and in command of your response—quiet strength, not forced positivity. Featured technique: Samurai Breathing Technique (a structured breath pattern for steadiness) Best for: stress spikes, irritability, anxious overthinking, emotional overwhelm, scattered focus Takeaway: You don't need perfect conditions to feel steady—you need a practiced return. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to Mastering Your Moods—a meditation series designed to help you stop feeling at the mercy of your emotions and start feeling steady, clear, and in charge of how you respond. Moods can shift fast—one message, one memory, one stressful moment—and suddenly you're anxious, irritated, heavy, or overwhelmed. In this series, you'll learn how to work with your nervous system instead of against it, using simple daily practices that help you regulate in real time—so you can come back to yourself without spiraling, snapping, or shutting down. This isn't about pretending you're fine; it's about building emotional skill: noticing what you feel, understanding what's underneath it, and shifting your state with calm, practical tools you can actually use in your real life. This is day 3 of a 7-day meditation series, "Mood Mastery: From Reactive to Regulated," episodes 3043-3049. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "Mushin (No Mind) Quest Musashi was known to advocate for the concept of mushin, or "no-mind," in combat. It involves acting without conscious thought, free from hesitation, fear, or distraction. By training himself to enter into a state of mushin during duels and battles, Musashi could maintain emotional equilibrium and react instinctively to his opponents' movements. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY Day 1: Focus Visualization Day 2: Affirmation: "I embrace both light and shadow with equanimity." Day 3: Hara Breath: Inhale deeply through the nose, allowing the belly to expand. Exhale fully through the mouth, drawing the navel towards the spine. This technique promotes relaxation, stability, and groundedness Day 4: Diamond mudra for focus Day 5: Second Chakra to flow with change Day 6: Focus Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7: Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!
