Advice for considering the impact your behaviours have now on your future, and managing the discomfort this can provoke. The normalisation of disordered eating behaviours in society and how to navigate moving away from them. The rise of "Crunchy Moms" and the normalisation of orthorexic tendencies. What on earth is meant by terms such as "healthy", "balanced", "moderation", "enough" and how to learn to "trust" yourself around food. Set point theory, how this determines your weight range and why aiming for a desired weight is not always possible. Sabrina guides me through how she would coach a client when they have internal beliefs about how others perceive them and how to adapt these.

Arav, with his hot cotton candy-like hair, silver eyes, and a crumpled map in the pocket of his jeans, felt like a stranger amidst everyone else.Hi: "मेरे मित्र, यह कैसे होता है...यह..." आरव अपनी टूटी-फूटी हिंदी में पूछते हुए, अचरज की नजर से बहुभाषिक माल देख रहा था।En: "My friend, how does this happen...this..." Arav in his broken Hindi, looked at the multilingual guy in amazement.Hi: उनकी अंग्रेजी मुंहावरे और हिंदी शब्दों की मिश्रित भाषा ने अस्थाई भ्रम और हंसी का वातावरण बना दिया। कुछ लोग उनकी नकल उत्तरी, जबकि दूसरों ने अधिकाँशता उनकी अजनबी भाषा का अनुवाद कैसे करें इसके बारे में विचार कर रहे थे।En: His English idioms mixed with Hindi words created a temporary atmosphere of confusion and laughter. Some tried to mimic him, while others were pondering how to translate most of his unfamiliar language.Hi: फिर भी, आरव ने हिम्मत नहीं हारी। उन्होंने मुंबई की भूलभुलैया की चुनौती को स्वीकार किया। खिलौने वालों से लेकर मिठाई की दुकानों तक, वह जहाँ भी जाता, अपने कामयाबी और विफलताएं अपने मित्रों से साझा करता।En: Nevertheless, Arav did not lose courage. He accepted the challenge of navigating through the maze of Mumbai. From toy sellers to sweet shops, wherever he went, he shared his successes and failures with his friends.Hi: "जब कोई भी नहीं होता तो मैं किसी से भी पूछता," आरव ने एक हंसते हुए सब्जीवाले से बताया। "मुझे पता है कि लोग मेरी हंसी उड़ा रहे हैं, लेकिन मैं सीख रहा हूं।"En: "When no one is around, I ask anyone," Arav told a laughing vegetable vendor. "I know people are laughing at me, but I am learning."Hi: धीरे-धीरे, आरव ने मुंबई के चकाचौंध में अपने आप को ढ़ूंढ लिया। उसके प्रयास और विश्राम की कहानी ने शहर की जीवनशैली के अगणित रंग पैदा करने में मदद की। आरव की जीत उसके ईमानदारी और दृढ़ निर्णय थी, जो उसे अपनी भटकाव से बाहर निकलने में मदद करते थे।En: Slowly but surely, Arav found himself in the chaos of Mumbai. His efforts and resilience helped to create countless hues of the city's lifestyle. Arav's victory lay in his honesty and strong decisions, which helped him overcome his wandering ways.

In this week's soul-stirring episode of Chasing Happiness, Ryan DeMent takes us on a personal journey through the highs and lows of his week, sharing insights that resonate with anyone looking to grow beyond their comfort zones. With a guest cancellation turning into an opportunity for reflection, Ryan delves into the essence of happiness, the power of faith, and the importance of embracing discomfort for personal and professional growth. As Ryan navigates the rollercoaster of stress and success, from advancing the Bayard Park project to exploring new ventures in affordable housing and flipping houses, he underscores the significance of focusing on what truly matters—actions that generate revenue and relationships that foster growth. This episode isn't just about Ryan's project updates; it's a candid look into the mindset shifts required to thrive in uncertain times. Ryan's reflections on the loneliness of the entrepreneurial journey and the quest for a tribe that understands and supports one another are both vulnerable and inspiring. He emphasizes the transformative power of putting oneself in rooms where growth is inevitable and being the smallest fish in the pond, an opportunity to learn from those who've weathered the storms of adversity and become stronger. This episode is a call to action for anyone feeling stuck or isolated. Ryan's message is clear: growth happens when we dare to step into unfamiliar rooms, seek out connections that challenge and change us, and remain open to the lessons that life's ups and downs teach us. Join Ryan as he shares his strategies for managing the financial uncertainties of today's world, from smart spending to the importance of building a safety net. His take on happiness as a choice, something we can cultivate more of by stepping out of our comfort zones, is both motivational and practical. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a dreamer, or someone searching for a spark to reignite your passion for growth, “Embracing Discomfort for Growth: Stepping into Unfamiliar Rooms” offers the wisdom and encouragement you need to take that next step. Tune in to discover how embracing discomfort can lead to unparalleled growth and a life filled with purpose and happiness. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chasinghappiness/message

This week Randy and Rich discuss how we're more excited with the team at hand compared to years passed when the offseason was the season of hope and the new group of players was the most intriguing part of the year. At the same time the Combine is already here and we feel behind in our usual draft prep. It does feel like free agency is upon us sooner so that is a good thing.

When you're afraid, what is it that you say to yourself? When you don't know the next step, what phrases are you rattling off (out of unconscious habit) in your head?

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for February 23, 2024 is: opprobrium uh-PROH-bree-um noun Opprobrium refers to very strong disapproval or criticism of a person or thing especially by a large number of people. // They're going ahead with the plan despite public opprobrium. See the entry > Examples: "Caught up in a whirlwind of public opprobrium, ... the brand's executives seemed unsure how to react, before finally offering up statements of public apologies and self-recrimination." — Vanessa Friedman, The New York Times, 1 June 2023 Did you know? Unfamiliar with opprobrium? Tsk, tsk, tsk. Just kidding—unfamiliarity with a word is hardly grounds for, well, opprobrium. We're here to learn! Besides, opprobrium is quite formal and has few close relations in English. It comes from the Latin verb opprobrāre, which means "to reproach." That verb, in turn, comes from the noun probrum, meaning "a disgraceful act" or "reproach." The adjective form of opprobrium is opprobrious, which in English means "deserving of scorn" or "expressing contempt." One might commit an "opprobrious crime" or be berated with "opprobrious language," for example.

Chris Holman welcomes back Carrie Carrie Rosingana, CEO, CAMW! Capital Area Michigan Works! Lansing, MI, but serving Ingham, Eaton, and Clinton Counties. THEME: Inspired by Veterans Day, Carrie discusses the benefits of hiring veterans and resources employers utilize to connect with veterans. Question: Historically, veterans have struggled to find employment due to a variety of factors, what are some of those barriers? Answer: Upon returning from their service to our country, veterans face the challenge of navigating a new chapter in life, encompassing reintegration into civilian society and establishing meaningful employment. According to Nevada Governor's Office of Workforce Innovation, some barriers include: ● Lack of support. ○ Personal challenges to employment may involve disabilities, mental illness, substance use disorders, lack of interest in returning to work and medical or other appointments. ● Unfamiliar work culture. ○ An unfamiliar work culture may lead to feelings of uncertainty, making some veteran's hesitant about engaging in the employment process. ● Role of employers. ○ Veterans often face a stigma when transitioning to, and remaining in, the civilian workforce. Business owners must be informed on the challenges that veterans face during this transition. Question: I understand that CAMW! offers employment opportunities for veterans, can you please explain some of the services provided? Answer: Located within our Michigan Works! American Job Centers, we have Veterans Career Advisors (VCA) that provide intensive and individualized employment services to eligible veterans and their spouses with significant barriers to employment. ● The VCA provides intensive one-on-one services including: ○ Resume development. ○ Interviewing skills. ○ Housing assistance. ○ Transportation assistance. ○ Additional education. ○ Training opportunities. ○ Networking. ○ Direct referral to other service providers. ● More information on Veteran Employment Services can be found at https://www.camw.org/career-seekers/veteran-employment-services. ● Carrie, please add any additional information. Question: As an employer, what are some of the benefits of hiring veterans? Answer: There are lots of benefits. According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, “Military personnel are often cross-trained in multiple skills and have experience in varied tasks and responsibilities. Many Veterans have learned what it means to put in a hard day's work.” ● Veterans bring several unique skills and strengths to the workplace. This includes: ○ Working well in a team. Teamwork is considered an essential part of daily life and is the foundation on which safe military operations are built. ○ Having a sense of duty. Responsibility for job performance and accountability for completing missions are something to take pride in. ○ Experiencing self-confidence. Holding a realistic estimation of self and ability based on experiences is expected of each Service Member. ● Carrie, please add any additional information. Question: Where can Veterans go to learn about employment opportunities in Michigan and more specifically the Lansing area? Answer: We recommend INVESTVets, a community-based organization that connects employers with veteran and military talent by offering activities that reduce the high expectations and stress that are common with traditional job fairs. ● We encourage Veterans to visit their website for more information: http://investvets.org/ » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCqNX… » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/

Join Rob Mintz, chief curator at the Asian Art Museum, and Laura Allen, the museum's Senior Curator of Japanese Art for an engaging conversation about Murakami's blockbuster exhibition Unfamiliar People: The Swelling of Monsterized Human Ego. The show, four years in the making, takes anime and manga to new heights. This is Takashi Murakami's first solo exhibition in San Francisco. The exhibit is not only a commentary on our society, it's a nuanced examination of human behavior within an extraordinary artistic framework. Laura Allen has known Murakami since the Fall of 2019, when she visited the artist in his Tokyo studio. Together with Rob Mintz, she'll provide insight into Murakami's personality, both as an artist as well as a social scientist. She'll also talk about her collaboration with Murakami; discuss the many pitfalls she encountered along the way as well as what finally convinced him to create this extraordinary exhibit and display it at the Asian Art Museum. About the Speaker Dr. Laura W. Allen is senior curator of Japanese art at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco. After receiving a doctorate in Japanese art history at UC Berkeley, Dr. Allen spent more than two decades teaching, consulting, and publishing on Japanese art before joining the Asian Art Museum staff in 2012. Since then, she has overseen an ambitious program of exhibitions, including two very different shows opening in the fall of 2023, Takashi Murakami: Unfamiliar People – Swelling of Monsterized Human Ego and The Heart of Zen. Dr. Robert Mintz is the chief curator at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco. He oversees the curatorial research program and guides the growth and preservation of the museum's art collections. Mintz is a specialist in Japanese art history with a keen interest in painting. With degrees from the University of Michigan and the University of Washington, he has spent his career working in public art museums trying to make the arts of Asia accessible and inspirational to the widest possible range of audiences.

Brian shares the emotionally candid essay that he submitted as part of his application for his trip to Seoul, South Korea. THE ESSAY Korea – An Unfamiliar Place, Deep Within My Heart My story, like many Korean adoptees of the 1980s, started with an orphanage, Korean foster care, and a plane ride before arriving stateside in the USA. I grew up as a Korean adoptee in a small town in central Minnesota, as the only child in the family to older parents. Both my parents were the youngest of their siblings, and the timing of my adoption meant I was years younger than all my first cousins, and years older than my second cousins. I was alone in my age group within my extended family. My adoptive parents were loving and provided me a stable home and safe place to grow up. And, the wisdom given to parents raising a child of a different race in those days was largely color blindness – to de-emphasize the uniqueness of the diversity of humankind by reinforcing the message that where you came from was not important, and that it should not be regarded as important now. While there are indeed shared human experiences across all ethnic groups, and key themes that should unite us as humans: Being Korean, which I am, was left in a neglected place. And while my adoptive parents reinforced my personal value and worth, they did not know to educate themselves and learn more about where their son came from so they could share stories with him of his homeland. I did not attend any adoptee camps growing up, nor did I learn anything of Korean culture, food, or language. My first exposure to something largely Korean was watching the 1988 Olympics on television. I learned what kimchi was in middle school, watching re-runs of M*A*S*H. I do not believe the actions of my parents were malicious in anyway, but the silence in the deep place is felt, even as a child. Now in my 40s, I recently mentioned adding kimchi to my fried rice recipe. My adopted mother, now nearing her 80s, asked in all earnestness, “What's kimchi?” For years, well into adulthood, I shut the door to the unfamiliar place to preserve myself, and become somehow, not Korean. But the door could never be fully closed, and only by reopening it in my adult years after college and into married life have I realized the vastness of the place this has taken up in my heart. As a dad to two wonderful children, now both in their teenage years, it has been eye-opening to me to listen and watch them identify openly and proudly as Korean, something that was silent for me well into adulthood. Their vibrance for life and their curiosity into their ethnic heritage made me realize that the undiscovered places within me needed to be explored and appreciated in a new way. I want them to see their dad grow and explore what it means to know yourself in a healthy way. I have always been curious and love learning new things. I know that one of the best ways to learn is to immerse yourself in the subject matter. Any standing internal ambivalence about the leap evaporates when you take a dive. With the economic consequences of COVID lockdowns to my personal finances, I thought any trip would be years out, even though the desire burned bright. A trip to Korea represents the opportunity to dive into the deep, unfamiliar place within my heart and experience the richness of my heritage. I have never been back to Korea. I don't know who my birth family is. I don't know any Korean language. I know little about Korean culture. For me, my family, and my legacy: Let's go explore Korea. Let's meet the Korean people. The land of my birth, the roots of my family, the place where past and present kiss and propel me into the future. Unfamiliar places should not stay unfamiliar. Korea, the Motherland. Deep in my heart, forever on my mind.
“Too many babies spoil the deal… best give Death a femur.” In this episode of Fictional Hangover, Amanda and Claire talk about not trusting magically-appearing grilled cheese sandwiches, accessorizing crows, very haunted spooky skull-shaped houses and their new phrase, nah fox, in their discussion of Unfamiliar Volume 2 by Haley Newsome.
