Shiva SoulLit is an artist whose music is rooted in confidence, resilience, and the power of trusting your own journey. Influenced by her Southern roots, she has developed a style that blends authentic storytelling with a fearless mindset, encouraging listeners to focus on their purpose rather than outside opinions. Her latest single, "Still," reflects that philosophy, serving as a reminder that success doesn't require constant validation or public recognition. Instead, Shiva SoulLit embraces moving in silence, allowing her work and consistency to speak louder than words. Having learned valuable lessons from being "too available" earlier in her career, she now approaches both life and the music business with greater intention, protecting her energy while staying focused on long-term growth. In this interview, Shiva SoulLit discusses the inspiration behind "Still," the importance of self-belief, how her approach to the industry has evolved, the lessons she's learned through personal growth, and what fans can expect from the next chapter of her musical journey.

Orion Miller joins the podcast to talk about his path from growing up in New York City to joining the San Francisco Symphony bass section. Orion studied at the Shepherd School of Music at Rice University with Tim Pitts and spent formative summers at places like Tanglewood, Music Academy of the West, and Aspen Music Festival. We dig into Orion's audition journey, including getting cut from the San Francisco Symphony preliminaries, rethinking how he prepared, and eventually winning the job after a trial week. Orion shares the practice system that changed everything for him, from 25% tempo work and Galamian-style rhythms to mock auditions, detailed listening, score study, and learning to trust the process. We also talk about focus, phone distraction, sustainable preparation, life in the SFS bass section, and his advice to young bassists.  Listen, watch, and read this conversation in ​full audio and HD video on Double Bass HQ​.

The sermon explores the spiritual principle of trusting God's process by drawing parallels between agricultural farming and the Christian life. It contrasts misguided zeal with devotion grounded in knowledge, emphasizing that believers must actively sow the seed of the Word while relying on God to bring growth and harvest. The preacher uses Psalm 126 and the parable of the sower to illustrate how Christ wept as He bore the precious seed of His people, ultimately reaping joy through redemption. This imagery encourages Christians to engage in earnest ministry and prayer, assured that their labor in tears will result in eternal fruitfulness. The message concludes with a call to faithfulness in spreading the Gospel, confident in God's promise to bring about the final harvest.

After nearly four years of sharing weekly episodes of Your Heart Magic, Dr. BethAnne is taking a sabbatical from the podcast.In this heartfelt episode, she reflects on the courage it takes to listen when the soul asks us to pause, create more space, and release what has lovingly carried us through one season so something new can begin to emerge. She shares passages from Small Pearls Big Wisdom, thoughts on creativity and change, and the importance of resisting the urge to define what comes next before we are ready.This is not an episode filled with final answers, but an invitation to trust the invisible pull of the heart, honor the bittersweet nature of transition, and remember that every ending holds the soil of a new beginning.Thank you for listening, for sharing this journey, and for being part of Your Heart Magic. Until we meet again: be well, be love, be you, and be magic.--Dr. BethAnne Kapansky Wright is a Licensed Psychologist, Spiritual Educator, and Akashic Records Reader.

Half the year is already behind us. The bigger question is: how are you really doing?In this episode of The Heavyweight Collective, the crew pauses for an honest mid-year check-in about life, growth, mental health, and the expectations we put on ourselves.

The crew reflects on learning to protect their energy, stop overcommitting, and recognize how often they carry problems that nobody else is expecting them to solve.The conversation also dives into discernment, trusting the process, accepting change, and giving yourself permission to be a beginner again. From parenting pressure to impossible personal standards, this episode is a reminder that growth often starts with one simple question: What do you actually need?If you're looking for perspective heading into the second half of the year, this conversation is for you.Tap in With US! Thanks for tapping in with The Heavyweight Collective! Make sure you follow, subscribe, and share with someone who needs this convo.

In this episode, I answer a question from a new CCPT therapist who wonders whether a child who quietly builds with Legos session after session is really doing therapeutic work. When play seems repetitive, surface-level, or disconnected from the child's personal life, it's easy to question whether meaningful progress is being made. I explain why narration, predictable play, and even seemingly simple activities can be important parts of the therapeutic process, especially early in treatment. Rather than looking for deeper themes before the child is ready, I encourage therapists to trust that every aspect of a child's play has purpose and value. I also discuss the difference between symbolic play and thematic play, why not all play is thematic, and how our own desire to understand or "figure out" the play can interfere with true child-centered practice. This episode is a reminder that we don't have to rush children toward deeper work or ask questions to move therapy forward. Our role is to remain fully accepting, trust the process, and believe that children will naturally work on what they need in their own way and in their own time.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I'm joined by Riley Horoshko, Temple University's starting goalie, recent graduate, and American Conference Goalie of the Year. Riley shares her lacrosse goalie journey, from stepping into the cage in fourth grade because it meant “less running,” to becoming a standout college goalie after spending much of her college career as a backup.We talk about the lessons Riley learned from playing multiple sports, why she did not start club lacrosse until late in high school, and how she navigated the recruiting process by focusing on schools she would love even without lacrosse. Riley also opens up about the mental side of being a goalie, including comparison, pressure, staying relaxed, and how not playing for several seasons helped her rediscover her love for the game.This conversation is packed with practical advice for goalies, especially taller goalies, backups waiting for their chance, and athletes who are trying to enjoy the game while still competing at a high level.In this episode, we talk about:How Riley first became a goalie in fourth gradeWhy volleyball helped her develop as a lacrosse goalieStarting club lacrosse late and still having a successful recruiting processChoosing a school you would love even without lacrosseWhat made Temple's team culture so specialThe coaching concept of “repetition without repetition”Why taller goalies should use their size instead of shrinking in the cageHow Riley improved on low shotsGoalie drills she used at Temple and now uses while coachingWhat she learned from being a backup for most of her college careerHow not playing helped her rediscover the joy of lacrosseDealing with comparison as a goalieMental game strategies, including staying loose, box breathing, and keeping things funRiley's approach to 8-meter shotsWhy her final advice to goalies is simple: find a way to make it funKey TakeawaysBeing a backup can still be a huge part of your growth. Riley spent much of her college career waiting for her chance, but she credits that time with helping her mature, support her teammates, and fall back in love with lacrosse.Goalies play better when they are relaxed. Riley emphasized that she played her best when she was having fun, talking to defenders, dancing a little, staying present, and not letting every shot feel heavy.Stop comparing and start redirecting your focus. For young goalies stuck comparing themselves to teammates or opponents, Riley's advice is to look away, reset, talk to teammates, study the shooters, and put your attention somewhere useful.Use the tools you have. As a taller goalie, Riley learned to use her height, wingspan, and legs to her advantage, especially when teams tried to target her low.Keep the game simple when things feel hard. On tough days, Riley would focus on basic cues like tracking the top of the shooter's stick and making the saves she knew she could make.Memorable Quote“Just find a way to make the sport fun and find a way to make yourself relaxed in the goal.”About Riley HoroshkoRiley Horoshko is a goalie from Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, and a recent graduate of Temple University. After stepping into goal in fourth grade, Riley went on to become Temple's starting goalie and earn American Conference Goalie of the Year honors. She now coaches young goalies in the Lehigh Valley area.Final ThoughtsRiley's story is a great reminder that every goalie's path looks different. You do not need to be the earliest recruit, the biggest gear person, or the starter from day one to have a great career. Stay ready, support your teammates, keep learning, and most importantly, find ways to enjoy the game.Support the show

This week Alyssa and Nadia are joined by Lucy Shepherd, a close friend of Nadia's from their Dialogue of Civilizations program in Spain, to talk about growing up in different countries, finding a career path, and figuring out what comes next after graduation.Lucy shares how she spent her childhood moving fromMaryland to Ecuador, then Peru and eventually seven years in Johannesburg, before landing in Boston for college. Along the way, that constant relocation shaped how she thinks about identity, belonging, and what it even means to call somewhere home.At Northeastern, Lucy started out undeclared, trying on economics, environmental science, and communications before finding her way to English and discovering she loved editing. She talks about what drew her to the field, how living abroad shaped her interest in stories that don't usually get told, and why she sees an editor's job as protecting a writer's voice rather than smoothing it away.The conversation feels timely for Nadia, who is heading into her own post grad questions soon. They talk about the job search, staying open instead of locking into one plan, and the side gigs and small steps that can carry someone through an uncertain stretch.They also get into what it's like not really having one fixed home base anymore, since her parents are in Istanbul now and her sister is out in California. And they talk about the places that have actually stuck with her, Peru especially. It's a grounded conversation about identity, ambition, and learning to trust that things will come together even when the path isn't clear yet.Takeaways Growing up abroad complicated Lucy's sense of what it means to be American, and honestly, it's still not fully resolvedBeing undeclared wasn't a setback, it gave her the room to actually find the right pathA good editor protects a writer's voice instead of replacing itLiving in so many different countries shaped her interest in stories that usually don't get toldPost-grad uncertainty gets a lot easier to sit with when you stay open instead of forcing a decisionOnce her family scattered across different countries, home stopped being one fixed placePeru is so much more than Machu PicchuCareers tend to start with curiosity, not certaintyChapters 0:11 – 1:43 Meet Lucy and how she and Nadia met on their Dialogue of Civilizations trip in Spain 1:43 – 5:51 Lucy's childhood in Maryland, Ecuador, Peru and seven years in Johannesburg 5:51 – 8:54 Why Northeastern, choosing Boston over Santa Cruz and a co-op program she didn't even understand yet 8:54 – 11:46 Does Lucy feel American?

Ever lie awake at three in the morning asking when it's all going to work out? When will life finally go your way? We all land there sometimes, even the most upbeat among us. Today I'm sharing raw notes from a deep call with my inner circle. No script, no polish — just the real stuff that came up when a room full of people trusted each other enough to get honest. We'll talk about slowing down, subtracting what drains you, and the one thing you can't rush, no matter how hard you try. Come on in. Featured Story When my first wife, Cheryl, passed away, I took my watch off the same day. I'd worn it constantly while she was sick, timing her medications down to the minute. The day she died, I dropped it in a drawer and didn't think about it. For the next year, I went through grieving, met my wife Joy, dated, and had a good time too. The whole year, no watch. Time didn't matter. It was going to be there no matter what I did. A year later, on the anniversary of Cheryl's death, I walked out wearing it again. Joy looked at me and said, I didn't know you wore a watch. Important Points You'll change when you wear yourself out. Feeling miserable about the future means you're living in that misery now. Work in a world of subtraction. When life feels too heavy, the fix is usually to take something away, not add more. Add only the people who fill you up. Anyone who drains your energy while you carry them has to end. Memorable Quotes Be kind until it's time not to be kind. You're always still kind, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do. Do what's important to you; nobody else cares. Step back, relax, and start doing the things that actually matter. You want to be running toward what you want, not from it. Don't stay in a holding pattern because you have to. Scott's Three-Step Approach Start by getting honest about where you actually are right now and what you're really feeling underneath the excuses. Next, build your peaceful base by subtracting what drains you and by surrounding yourself with people who give back energy. Then give it time and trust the process, because what you can't rush sorts itself out when you keep paying attention.

You do not control everything. But you do control your execution. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down the illusion of control and why trying to micromanage every variable in your business will destroy your peace of mind. Let's be real… You cannot control the economy. You cannot control the algorithm. You cannot control every client. You cannot control every market shift. But you can control your inputs. In this episode, you'll learn: Why trying to control every outcome leads to burnout How external factors can impact results even when you do everything right Why daily execution matters more than obsessing over analytics How focusing on inputs creates clarity, discipline, and confidence The truth is simple: You cannot control the weather. But you can control how prepared you are when the storm hits. You can make the calls. You can follow the process. You can execute the standard. You can show up with discipline every single day. Most founders lose their minds trying to force the outcome. High-level operators focus on the work. They master the inputs. They detach from the noise. They execute the plan regardless of conditions. Because real power does not come from controlling everything. It comes from controlling yourself. Master your habits. Trust the process. Let the chips fall. And keep leveling up.

"Trust the process" is one of those phrases that gets thrown around so much it's almost stopped meaning anything. In this episode I'm taking it apart — what it actually is, what it isn't, and why it's a real trainable skill and not just a motivational poster. We'll talk about detachment (the real kind — not caring less, but loving the journey more), why single runs feel so disproportionately heavy, and how to hold your goals and your long-game thinking at the same time without having to choose between them. If you've ever let one bad weekend rewrite the whole story, this one's for you.

This week on The Funny Thing About Yoga, we're joined by Charlotte Muller of Breathe Strength — yoga educator, studio owner, social media creator, and, like Giana, a fellow Long Islander.This conversation felt easy, heartfelt, and deeply relatable, beginning with nostalgic hometown connections and bonding over the experience of young parental loss.We talk about Charlotte's path to yoga through grief, opening a studio during COVID, navigating major life transitions, and finding herself in the midst of unexpected, exciting new beginnings as she moves through pregnancy.Charlotte's passion for yoga and fitness shines through, and hearing how she uses social media and her platform to share her love of theming, sequencing, and teaching is genuinely inspiring.From trusting you're exactly where you're meant to be, to noticing little signs, staying motivated when life hands you a whole lot of shit, making future plans, and embracing the messy beauty of building a life you actually want — this episode goes deep in the most grounding, human way.A warm, honest conversation about resilience, reinvention, and connecting with someone walking a surprisingly similar path.Find Charlotte Muller Online:instagram @breathe_strength tiktok @breathe_strengthwebsite www.breathestrengthwellness.com Want to support our podcast?

The Practice of Trusting the Process of Life

Christina comes to us two months out of a month-long holistic retreat where she cracked open in the most profound way. After more than twenty years in corporate, she walked away. She found her purpose in death doula work, holding space for families and those who are transitioning. And now she is standing in the messy middle, sourcing the tendrils of a new life as it is being woven. Her question is one so many of us carry: How do I trust this process when the outside world wants me to keep going and going and producing and proving my worth? What we discover together is that Christina's body doesn't want a to-do list. It doesn't want a plan or a schedule. It wants to be free form for a while and show her where it wants to go. For twenty years, she was speaking someone else's words, building something that belonged to somebody else, ratcheted down in survival mode, locked into the lower chakras of doing and producing. And then she took a hammer to that old structure, and now these tendrils of color and life are blooming out of what she cracked open. Her heart has come online. Her throat and third eye are lighting up. And her system just needs a moment to catch up. This episode is a beautiful invitation to honor all of it: the things we label good and the things we label bad, the things we like about this process but also so potently the things we don't. You can never not be on your path. The detours you take will reveal themselves as exactly what you needed for the moment you are now in. And the very nature of exploration means you are going to go the wrong way, get lost, and find brambles at the end of the trail. That is exploration. As you listen today, I invite you to find that settled place inside you (the one that lives beneath all the noise) and memorize it. Does it have a texture? A sensation? A color? This is your place of knowing. This is where you come back to when you forget what is true.

This was not always a conscious endeavor for me, yet she pulled at my heart and led me on adventures far and wide and wild. She has taught me to live by spirals and wheels and cycles. To live each day as a ritual, knowing that I am the source of my life. Everything comes FROM me and that my obstacles are actually the path to living an even greater and wilder existence. She has shown me that true LEADERS rally for and with life, not against it. So, now I live in devotion to a higher standard of ALIVENESS for us all.   You can find more resources at the links below…   Website: http://www.SarahNoble.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/awakened.embodied.empowered/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/awakened.embodied.empowered Substack: https://snoble.substack.com/ Email: Hello@SarahNoble.com

When it comes to the latest trends swirling around Asian identity, TikTok beefs, and internet fame, there's a lot more beneath the surface than what you see in the headlines. In this episode, we crack open the hidden layers of online culture, celebrity discourse, and generational conflicts that shape today's social landscape.Starting with the recent buzz around “Wasians” and the heated debates within Asian American communities, discover how identity, privilege, and representation collide in the most unexpected ways.

Then, shifting gears to the world of R&B and music critique, we unravel the viral debate about singing in the “right key,” Tank's challenge to singers, and what it reveals about authenticity in artistry. You'll hear about Tevin Campbell's voice and why that conversation went viral—challenging assumptions about talent, training, and the evolving standards of “real” singers.And for the internet comedians and content creators, we explore the fascinating stories of V-tubers and the surprising reasons behind parents' reactions to their passions. How does digital persona-building and the sexuality of avatars challenge traditional norms—and why does it often lead to conflict at home? What does this say about generations struggling to understand new forms of expression?Finally, we dive into the chaos of reality TV and streaming success stories, uncovering how hustle, consistency, and a little bit of luck can elevate unknowns into internet celebrities—and why the system may be rigged against the everyday creator.

In this week's episode, I'm sharing a few things that have brought me back to myself lately — a color analysis rabbit hole, a solo yoga class on Mother's Day, and wandering through an art fair alone. All of them felt like gentle reminders to step outside the usual flow and routine of life and make space for what truly fills me up. More importantly, I dive into one core topic: the duality of being human. How it's possible to feel deeply grateful for your life while also feeling unsettled, uncertain, or hungry for more at the exact same time. I share about the grief I still feel after our move to Georgia, the strange in-between season I'm navigating professionally, and why I think so many of us are quietly holding conflicting emotions beneath the surface. So if you've been feeling the tension of two seemingly opposing emotions at once, this episode is for you.

We all say we trust the process…until it starts taking longer than we expected.

In this episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, Candace shares a simple but meaningful story about her friend Magda and a surprising discovery she made while transporting bricks in her tiny car. What started as a practical task quickly turned into a moment of joyful realization—Magda discovered that her little car had far more space and capability than she ever imagined. By simply folding the seats down and trying something new, she unlocked possibilities she hadn't even considered before. Candace reflects on how this small moment mirrors a much bigger truth in life: we don't always need to know everything in advance. Sometimes the magic is in the discovery itself. When we stay curious, open, and willing to try, life reveals little delights along the way.  

“It's not about you knowing where you're headed, what it will look like, or how it will unfold. It's about letting go of the need to know… and trusting that it won't miss you.” in today's episode we're letting go and we're trusting the process!!! There were so many moments where we had to move without knowing how it would turn out and today we're sharing those and how you can do the same!••••••••••••••••••••••••••••1:1 COACHING WITH KNOW YOUR POWER

#389! Lexi Rodriguez knows a thing or two about the importance of trusting your gut. After famously committing to the University of Nebraska as an eighth-grader, she went on to become an integral part of their legendary volleyball program. Now a professional player for LOVB Nebraska, she’s navigating a new era of the sport while staying true to the qualities that make her a standout leader. In today’s episode, Lexi opens up about making life-altering decisions at just 14 years old and the validation she felt from her support system during that whirlwind process. We discuss the "superpower" of quiet leadership and how she learned to lead through authentic connection rather than just being the most vocal person in the room. She also gets real about the mental transition from college to the pros, including the initial moments of doubt and the learning curve of playing against world-class veterans. Lexi also shares her experience navigating the NIL era—managing what often feels like a second job—and why she prioritizes authenticity over constant content production. Plus, we dive into her empowerment app, SheSports, and her wellness non-negotiables, from a slow morning routine to the power of a long exhale to reset her nervous system mid-match. IN THIS EPISODE The Big Decision: What it was like committing to a major university at 14 and the intuition that guided her. Quiet Leadership: How to be an effective leader through connection and authenticity rather than volume. The Pro Transition: Navigating the jump from college to professional volleyball and overcoming moments of self-doubt. NIL Realities: Balancing a professional athletic career with the demands of personal branding and social media. SheSports: The inspiration behind her app and the importance of fostering connections between generations of female athletes. Wellness & Performance: Her morning routine, journaling practice, and mid-match breathing techniques for mental clarity. Life Lessons: The best advice she’s received and how she defines her "why" today. QUOTABLE MOMENTS "At the end of the day, belief is just so strong. And when you believe in yourself, I feel like you can accomplish more than you ever thought you could.” “I’m not the most vocal person, but I feel like I have a really big strength of connecting with people. It took me a while to realize that and use that as my leadership superpower." "You’re going to have to get comfortable with something that isn’t really real to you... but staying true to yourself as much as you can is going to have a big impact." "I’ve earned the right to be here, and I’ve earned the right to be confident. When you put it in perspective of all the work you’ve put in—how many reps you’ve actually done—it puts your mind at ease." "I want to produce something that’s authentic and that really showcases my personality, me, and my story. It’s hard to just produce content every day when it doesn’t feel natural."

“Chasing greatness is grieving the person you once were.” Tyriq Withers Ryan, Channing and Fred chop it up with Tyriq Withers, a rising actor making his mark in Hollywood, for an honest conversation about perseverance, processing grief, risk taking and how his journey is proof that purpose doesn't always follow a straight line and what's meant to be will always be. The conversation starts off with a fun story of Tyriq, a Jacksonville native, sharing how his childhood idol was a FAMILIAR guest speaker he had as a kid in elementary school... one guess? And you already know Chan and RC had a field day with the age jokes of Freddy T being that guy 20+ years ago! A die-hard Jaguars fan excited for the playoffs, he also opens up on the special meaning behind wearing a custom made "144" Shedeur Sanders jersey and how the bible verse he had imprinted on the sleeve changed his thought process. Yes, his love of sports starts long ago and before stepping in front of the camera, Tyriq's first love was football as he walked on to Florida State where he was part of the Seminole team (along with Dalvin Cook and Derwin James) that won an Orange Bowl in 2016. Ball was his life and taught him discipline, resilience, and what it takes to perform under pressure. That foundation helped fuel his transition into acting, where he's now making waves starring in the upcoming film Him, along with roles in other notable projects. Tyriq breaks down his journey into acting, the sacrifices it took to chase his passion, and the mental resilience required to survive an industry built on rejection and uncertainty. From navigating auditions and staying grounded to defining success on his own terms, he shares what it really means to pivot when the path isn't guaranteed. He talks about what it was like working with Donald Glover, shares who is on-screen inspiration is and the full circle experience of learning from Marlon Wayans, who he admired growing up and then became a big brother to him during the filming of Him. But Marlon wasn't just an on-screen mentor, he also helped Tyriq navigate life during one of the darkest and difficult times after he lost his older brother unexpectedly and was met with a new wave of grief and responsibility he didn't know existed. Emotional and honest, Tyriq shares how he dealt with it while still being able to pursue his dreams and balance the success with managing deep pain. Pivoting from sports to Hollywood to betting on himself in an industry built on rejection, this episode takes a deep dive on staying grounded while navigating new levels of visibility and expectation. From embracing discomfort to redefining success beyond the scoreboard, this conversation goes deeper than credits and highlights. It's a powerful discussion about identity, faith, work ethic, and trusting the process — on and off the field.

In this episode, THE NAKED GUN writers Doug Mand and Dan Gregor take us inside the making of one of the boldest studio comedies in years. They break down how they approached structure in a spoof film, why emotional arcs matter just as much as jokes, and how committing fully to the stupidest ideas can sometimes be the smartest choice. Doug and Dan talk candidly about fearlessness, rejection, impostor syndrome, and why every movie is a miracle. It's ultimately a funny, honest, and deeply encouraging conversation about sustaining a creative life in comedy. --- Looking for more support on your writing journey?
