In this episode of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, Shannon sits down with Kim DeMoss - Retreat Ranch's Executive Assistant, Yoga Teacher Training host, and long-time retreat collaborator - to talk about what it's really like to experience retreats from both sides: hosting and supporting. From her early days hosting retreats with Shannon to now managing the logistics behind the scenes, Kim shares candid insights on burnout, boundaries, work-life balance, and how she found her groove in the retreat industry. They also dive into the digital evolution of the industry - how AI and online visibility are reshaping the way leaders must market their retreats - and why self-awareness is key to finding your place in this ever-changing landscape.

In Round 100 of the Tactical Transition Tips on the Transition Drill Podcast, transition can feel overwhelming for military veterans and first responders because the world outside the uniform often presents more choices than clarity. This episode explores how choice overload affects service members, police officers, firefighters, EMS professionals, soldiers, Marines, sailors, and airmen as they prepare for life after service. The story that unfolds is one many experience but rarely discuss, the fear of choosing wrong, the pressure to explore everything, and the uncertainty that grows when direction is missing.You'll hear how transition becomes easier when you narrow your focus, build identity intentionally, and match your preparation to the stage of your career. Instead of chasing every possible path, this episode shows why clarity and structure create the confidence needed to move forward with purpose.Transition Group Breakdown• Close Range Group (transitioning immediately to one year): Choose one or two career lanes to explore deeply; this helps reduce overwhelm and supports decisive movement during a critical window.• Medium Range Group (transitioning in roughly five years): Build depth in your professional identity and create early positioning; these actions give you stronger options and more confidence when transition becomes real.• Long Range Group (transitioning in ten or more years): Develop curiosity and foundational habits that strengthen long term readiness; this ensures your identity and skills evolve in ways that support future transition rather than threaten it.This episode guides you through the reality many military veterans and first responders face, a future filled with options that can either paralyze progress or strengthen direction. The goal is simple, help you build clarity so your next chapter isn't defined by uncertainty, but by deliberate movement toward a meaningful life after service.The best podcast for military veterans, police officers, firefighters, and first responders preparing for veteran transition and life after service.

Welcome to the DMF! I'm Justin Younts, and today I'm diving into my journey into voice acting with the incredible Kris Keppeler. It all started when I was searching for more acting opportunities in Seattle, and someone suggested I try voiceover. I never considered it before, but once I found a coach, I discovered how much I loved combining my singing and acting skills. Voice acting has become a joyful partnership for me, giving me the chance to express emotions and bring characters to life in a unique and powerful way.Transitioning into voice acting came naturally thanks to my background in singing and acting. I learned that voiceover requires conveying emotion without relying on body language—everything comes through the voice. I often visualize a character's posture or state of mind to help me connect with the role.I also share my experiences voicing a wide range of characters, from a beefy crime boss to a heroic ex-thief. Each role demands its own emotional depth, tone, and vocal texture, and I love the challenge of finding what fits. My opera training has been invaluable, teaching me vocal control and how to project emotion effectively.Voice acting is about feeling your way through a script and connecting personally with the character. It's not just reading—it's performing. I encourage aspiring voice actors to embrace their uniqueness and let their experiences shape their work.If you're interested in voice acting, remember: practice is everything. I'm always exploring new characters and finding joy in narrating unusual stories. Whether you're a beginner or looking to grow, keep going and enjoy the ride. Please like, share, and subscribe for more insights into the world of voice acting.

As active women, muscle is the engine that powers us through our lives, no matter what sport we love. When we hit midlife and menopause, it can feel like that 8-cylinder engine drops to six—less punch when we hit the gas, even though we're still training. We may notice less muscle and more body fat when we look in the mirror. Muscle and strength loss during the menopause transition is multifactorial. It's hormonal changes and estrogen decline. It's inflammation. It's symptoms like poor sleep, joint pain, and fatigue. It's body fat gain. It's how we recover and fuel. And, of course, it's aging itself, as both women and men lose muscle with age. Our approach to making and maintaining it has to be multifactorial as well. This week we talk all about muscle and menopause–from basic science to menopause symptoms to hormone therapy–to understand what's going on under the hood and help keep that engine strong.Carla DiGirolamo, MD, PhD, is a Double Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist and Obstetrician/Gynecologist specializing in infertility and menopausal medicine.

Paul Rieckhoff catches up with scholar-warrior Dr. Jason Dempsey, a veteran whose career spans deployments in Afghanistan, work inside the White House, and now powerful advocacy and research on the state of America's military. The two dive into headline events—recent attacks, controversial military decisions, and the dangerous rise of performative “tough guy” politics. Dempsey unpacks why the rules of war must stand, why leadership is more than just rhetoric, and how America can maintain its ethical compass. They discuss the realities veterans face post-service, the risk of radicalization, and the critical need for mental health resources. Dempsey also highlights the stories of unsung leaders and the ways regular Americans can cut through noise, find resilience, and change the national conversation for the better. Jason Dempsey (@Jason_K_Dempsey) is a bad-ass warrior-scholar. A former Army infantryman with a PhD in politics who loves beer and bikes. A professor, author, researcher, combat veteran and one of the country's foremost experts on civil-military relations, Jason is West Point graduate, a PhD, and Adjunct Senior Fellow of the Military, Veterans, and Society Program at the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) and a powerful voice that must be heard. He led units on the ground in Afghanistan, served inside the White House, and literally wrote the book on the modern United states military: Our Army: Soldiers, Politics, and American Civil-Military Relations. He's also a dad, a lover of good beer and no-BS guy who pulls no punches. Jason previously appeared in Episodes 95  (January 14, 2021) and Episode 76 (Sept. 10, 2020).  In his day job he works to help veterans make the transition from military service to higher education, but he also writes and speaks regularly on issues at the intersection of domestic politics, war, and the American military. He is co-editor of a new book on the state of the American military and the challenges facing our All-Volunteer Force. ‘Bend But Do Not Break: Shaping the Future of the All Volunteer Force' is available for pre-order now, and Jason will be discussing this and more in a course he is teaching on civil-military relations at Columbia University this spring. These are times where there are more questions than answers, but we're going to bring you the voices and the thought leaders that can provide the information and clarity you need to help you navigate these turbulent times.

David Haugh welcomed on Leila Rahimi and Mark Grote for the daily transition segment.

In this Soul Elevation livestream, I talk about something deeply personal and universally human. I am moving through grief after the unexpected passing of my young cousin last week. His transition shook our entire family.  Losing someone so young can create layers of heartache, yet it also opens a powerful doorway to the spiritual nature of life. In this livestream, I explore: • how grief can awaken us to deeper spiritual connection • why souls may transition during times of global evolution • the role of angels, ascended masters, and human loved ones on the other side • how our departed loved ones can act as intermediaries between the human and spiritual realms • why their presence can feel more personal than angelic assistance • how my own grief has become an inner bridge to my soul • the ways loved ones try to communicate through signs, synchronicities, and subtle perception • how imagining their continued existence opens us to the spiritual truth of life   If you are grieving someone, please know that my heart is with you. We do not walk through loss alone. There are helpers, there is guidance, and our connection with the other side is closer than we believe.   I also share how the upcoming Miracles Summit on Saturday at 3 PM Eastern will help you connect with the spiritual realms and invite divine energy into your daily life. You can join for free, with free replay access for 24 hours. VIP gives lifetime access. Register for the Miracles Summit here: https://www.karagoodwin.com/miracles-summit-25  Thank you for being here. Bless you on your journey.  

John Helveston of George Washington University discusses why a U.S. pullback from China on EVs is risky, and why engagement could strengthen America’s auto industry. --- China has rapidly become the center of global EV innovation, producing cars that are cheaper, faster to develop, and increasingly competitive in international markets. The United States, by contrast, is pulling back, eliminating incentives and pursuing policies that distance the country from China just as the global EV transition accelerates. George Washington University’s John Helveston, whose work focuses on global EV markets and China’s manufacturing system, argues that this course risks sidelining the U.S. from the technologies and supply chains shaping the automotive future. On the podcast, he explains why a more pragmatic approach that protects national security and workers while engaging with China’s central role in the EV ecosystem may be essential for America’s long-term position in the global auto industry.
