Podcasts about Unplanned

Khudi ko kar buland itna…” — We've all heard this saying, but have you ever wondered how life would be if it unfolded exactly as you desired?Would you still value the little joys, the struggles that shaped you, or the lessons that made you stronger? Life's unpredictability is what makes it meaningful. If everything had gone as planned, would you have truly grown?I look at my son and realize—if he weren't autistic, would I cherish every small progress the way I do now? The patience, the wait behind each milestone, the extraordinary joy in seemingly simple moments—these are treasures I wouldn't trade for anything.Life isn't about what we wish for; it's about embracing what is—because that's exactly what we were meant for. So, instead of wondering what if, let's find happiness in what is. ✨ #KhudiKoKarBuland #LifeAsItIs #gratitude #blessings #lifequotes #daddy #sondad #parenting #parentlife #parenthood #fatherlove #fathers #fatherhood #mother #motherhood #child #childhood #learning #learninganddevelopment #time #loveyourself #lovers #special #day #today #moments

In this riveting opening segment of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards marks the one-year anniversary of the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, reflecting on how that pivotal moment shifted the political landscape and propelled Trump back to the White House. Clay delves into swirling rumors that Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino and FBI Director Kash Patel are considering resigning amid intense internal clashes over the handling of Jeffrey Epstein's files. He discusses the reported tensions between Bongino, Patel, and Attorney General Pam Bondi, with the FBI pushing for more transparency while the Justice Department has withheld certain records, fueling a MAGA backlash and calls for Bondi's firing. Clay hopes it's just posturing, warning that division plays into the deep state's hands, and stresses the importance of leaders surrounding themselves with truth-tellers who provide honest criticism rather than flattery—even drawing from his own experiences in media.   Sharing a tweet from @JoeDanMedia on X, Clay highlights Trump's post-inauguration blitz of 193 decisions, including 170 executive orders and 23 bills, crediting him with closing the border, initiating mass deportations, booming the economy, blue-collar wage growth, massive tax breaks, and ending wars—boasting a 99.5% "winning percentage" that earns the benefit of the doubt amid the Epstein uproar. A caller chimes in on embracing "small victories" in politics and life, likening it to martial arts wisdom and daily self-improvement, urging patience over instant overhauls.   Clay doesn't shy away from critiquing Trump but reaffirms his support, calling for a pivot on the Epstein issue without letting it erode trust. Tune in for unfiltered analysis, listener calls, and Clay's raw take on leadership in turbulent times. Follow @SaveJXN on social media for more!

Patrick McKenzie (patio11) is joined again by Ricki Heicklen to discuss the evolution of her trading education business, Arbor, one year after their first conversation. They dive deep into the pedagogy of trading, exploring how simulated markets teach concepts like adverse selection, team dynamics, and risk management through hands-on experience. Ricki shares war stories from the bootcamp trenches—infinite loop bugs that mirror Knight Capital's disaster, WiFi outages that create unexpected trading opportunities, and that the most successful trading teams often focus on internal team communication even more than trade execution or technical acumen.See the full transcript: https://www.complexsystemspodcast.com/think-like-a-trader-ricki-heicklen/–[Patrick notes: Complex Systems now produces occasional video episodes.You can access them directly on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@patio11podcast.

In this episode of the MamasteFit Podcast Birth Stories, Feige shares her 2 birth stories, detailing her transition from an unplanned C-section in her first birth to preparing for a VBAC in her second pregnancy. Despite meticulous preparation involving choosing a different provider, exercising, and maintaining a healthy diet, she faced an emergency C-section the day before her due date due to decreased fetal movement. Prompted by her husband and recalling advice from the podcast, she went to the hospital, a decision that ultimately saved her baby's life. This episode emphasizes the importance of monitoring fetal movements, trusting maternal intuition, and the impact of supportive care teams.00:00 Introduction to Feige's Birth Stories01:08 The Importance of Monitoring Baby's Movements02:24 Introduction to the Podcast Hosts03:48 Feige's First Birth Experience08:59 Preparing Differently for the Second Pregnancy18:13 Changes and Challenges in the Third Trimester22:28 A Mother's Intuition22:46 Middle of the Night Worries23:47 Emergency Decision24:28 Rushing to the Hospital25:14 Monitoring and Concerns26:04 Facing the Reality26:48 The C-Section Decision30:16 A Scary but Beautiful Moment32:50 NICU and Recovery37:27 Reflecting on the Experience39:56 Empowerment and Gratitude45:06 Final Thoughts and Advice——————————Get Your Copy of Training for Two on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3VOTdwH

Who were you before the world told you who to be? Somewhere inside you, she still lives—the little girl who moved freely, dreamed without limits, and hadn't yet learned to apologize for her existence. She was 7, maybe 8 or 9, untouched by expectation. Before the performance began. When our schedule threw a curve ball and we found ourselves with a free hour, Aram, my incredible videographer, decided to ask me some questions (with the help of ChatGPT) lol. In this episode, I share: The one ritual I return to when I feel lost Why I've never once considered giving up this work The quiet, modern behaviors still keeping women small What it truly means to live the work—not just talk about it And why the real revolution starts with walking out what we already know We talk about legacy, intimacy, and the difference between consuming healing and actually living it. We talk about raising daughters in a safer world. We talk about silver hair, sacred aging, self-trust—and the power of women who refuse to stay silent. And if you're feeling late to your own life, this is your invitation to begin again. Right here. Right now. You're not too late. You're right on time. Come home to yourself. If this episode resonated with you, please share it with a woman who also needs to hear this conversation.

Send us a textEver notice yourself stretching without thinking first thing in the morning, before bed, or during a midday slump? That spontaneous reach-and-sigh might be more than a reaction to stiffness.In this “Did You Know?” episode of the Wellness Inspired Podcast, Sheri Davidson, wellness coach and acupuncturist, unpacks the fascinating biology and energetic significance of natural stretching, also known as pandiculation. From nervous system resets to liver Qi flow, discover how these involuntary movements are your body's way of restoring rhythm and resilience.In this episode, you'll discover:What pandiculation is and how it resets your nervous systemHow stretching stimulates the vagus nerve and improves circulationThe Traditional Chinese Medicine view of spontaneous movement and Qi flowWhy these natural stretches may be releasing more than just tension“That stretch you didn't plan? It might be your body's way of saying, ‘I'm here, I'm recalibrating.' It's not just a reflex—it's a subtle reset, a conversation between your brain, your body, and your energy.”— Sheri Davidson, Wellness Inspired Podcast

Unscripted travel moments don't only offer the best travel memories, but unscripted travel also creates great outfit styles as a result.Leave Room in Your Bag — and Your Plans — for AdventureThere's something undeniably magical about boarding a train with no fixed destination. Or veering off the mapped-out route because a crooked sign pointed toward something called "The Devil's Bathtub" or "Whispering Rocks." These are the moments that stay with us — the ones that weren't booked through an app, recommended by a thousand blogs as “unique” (clearly not), or squeezed into an itinerary.Let the Road Write the Story. You Just Show Up in Style.At 1923 Main Street®, we believe in the beauty of unscripted travel. Because while a little planning is smart (we're not suggesting you forget your passport), leaving space for the unexpected opens the door to the best kind of stories — the kind that can't be Googled.Wouldn't you love to be among the first to share a unique story?The Best Stories Aren't on the ItineraryAsk any traveler to tell you their favorite travel memory, and chances are, it won't be the hotel buffet or the all-inclusive pre-package fun. It will be that time they got caught in a street parade in a city they didn't even mean to visit. Or when a local pointed them to a hidden walkway that led to a picture-perfect uncrowded beach, a tiny taverna, or a rooftop bar that no guidebook mentioned.When you leave space in your schedule, you make room for discovery. And discovery is the heart of real travel — not vacation. It's raw, sometimes messy, but always unforgettable.Travel Style That Roams as Freely as You DoSpontaneous travel demands clothing that works just as hard as your spirit of adventure. You don't need to dress like a walking checklist of tourist clichés. (Please don't.) You need gear that moves with you, tells your story and doesn't scream: “I'm new here!”That's why our designs at 1923 Main Street® — especially our Unscripted line — speak to the soul of the traveler, not the schedule. They're carefully created for those who'd rather follow a back road than a travel app. With subtle, inward-facing designs inspired by the magic of discovery, you'll look like you belong wherever you end up. Or at least, you won't look like you definitely don't belong. And that is by design at 1923 Main Street®, because all of our original creations are based on experiences and this philosophy.Our pieces aren't just bold in statement — they're bold in versatility. Toss one of our graphic hoodies into your bag, and you're ready for chilly train rides, windy cliff tops, or impromptu dinners under string lights in a tucked-away courtyard.Planning a wardrobe for unplanned travel is different (and more fun) than planning your outfits for a tightly controlled itinerary. It's going to force you to be more creative, more flexible with your choices and – likely – better styled overall.A Little Planning Goes a Long Way When You Travel — the Rest is Pure MagicWhat exactly do we mean by unplanned travel? Unplanned travel doesn't mean no planning at all. It's obviously important to most people to have a starting point and a loose agenda. Let's be real. You'll want to book your resort hotel and perhaps a few spots to visit and places to eat. But leave the rest open. It's in those undefined spaces — the cafés you stumble into, the trails you didn't mean to hike — where the real magic happens.And when you look back, years later, it'll be the photo where your shoes are muddy, your sweatshirt a little wrinkled and your smile completely real that brings it all flooding back. That's the magic of wearing the adventure.So pack light. Roam Freely. Wear Boldly. And leave some room for the road to surprise you.Because the best journeys — and the best versions of ourselves — are never fully planned.Shop at 1923 Main StreetThank you for listening to the Travel Style Podcast at 1923MainStreet.com.Shop unique and original travel inspired and subtle Disney travel clothing, including t-shirts, sweatshirt, hoodies and more at 1923 Main Street.Follow along on X, Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook.Thank you for listening and always remember to roam freely and wear boldly.Mike Belobradic and Amelia Belobradic--Media provided by Jamendo

very fond of cycling.No: Han kom til parken med en tanke: å finne det perfekte stedet for en midtsommerpiknik.En: He came to the park with one thought: to find the perfect place for a midsummer picnic.No: Parkens sykkelparkering var full av sykler.En: The park's bicycle parking was full of bikes.No: Sindre hadde sin egen, en enkel modell, men akkurat i dag hadde han litt for mye annet i hodet.En: Sindre had his own, a simple model, but today he had a bit too much else on his mind.No: Han tenkte på mat, piknikpledd, og de beste stedene å sitte i parken.En: He was thinking about food, picnic blankets, and the best spots to sit in the park.No: Idet han grep i en sykkel som virket kjent, la han ikke merke til at det ikke var hans.En: As he grabbed a bike that seemed familiar, he didn't notice that it wasn't his.No: Elin, en kunstner med sans for detaljer, hadde nettopp kommet til parken for inspirasjon.En: Elin, an artist with an eye for detail, had just arrived at the park for inspiration.No: Hun likte å trivdes blant kunstverkene, og sykkelen hennes var hennes stolthet.En: She liked to find joy among the artworks, and her bike was her pride.No: Hun ble sjokkert da hun så noen sykle vekk med den – det var Sindre.En: She was shocked when she saw someone riding away with it—it was Sindre.No: Sindre syklet ivrig mot piknikstedet sitt, uvitende om feilgrepet han nettopp hadde gjort.En: Sindre was eagerly riding towards his picnic spot, unaware of the mistake he had just made.No: Men Elin, med rask tenkning og en god dose humor, begynte å følge etter.En: But Elin, thinking quickly and with a good dose of humor, started to follow him.No: Hun fant det hele ganske komisk.En: She found the whole thing quite amusing.No: “Hoi!En: "Hey!"No: ” ropte Elin, og vinket mot Sindre da hun nådde han.En: shouted Elin, waving at Sindre as she caught up to him.No: “Er ikke det min sykkel, kanskje?En: "Isn't that my bike, perhaps?"No: ”Sindre stoppet brått og så forvirret ut.En: Sindre stopped abruptly and looked confused.No: Han så fra sykkelen til Elin og tilbake igjen.En: He looked from the bike to Elin and back again.No: “Å nei, er den det?En: "Oh no, is it?No: Jeg beklager virkelig!En: I really apologize!"No: ” sa Sindre, med et skjevt smil.En: said Sindre, with a crooked smile.No: “Det var ikke meningen.En: "It was not my intention."No: ”Elin lo, mer underholdt enn irritert.En: Elin laughed, more entertained than annoyed.No: “Slapp av, det er lett å gjøre feil med så mange like sykler.En: "Relax, it's easy to make mistakes with so many similar bikes."No: ”Sindre rødmet, men lettelsen bredte seg da Elin tilbød et vennlig smil.En: Sindre blushed, but relief spread as Elin offered a friendly smile.No: Hun fortsatte: “Kanskje vi skal slå oss sammen?En: She continued: "Maybe we should team up?No: Jeg har litt snacks i sekken, og det ser ut som du skal på piknik?En: I've got some snacks in my bag, and it looks like you were heading for a picnic?"No: ”Sindre var overrasket, men glad for forslaget.En: Sindre was surprised but glad for the suggestion.No: Han sa ja, og de begge satte kursen mot et perfekt pikniksted i parken.En: He said yes, and they both headed to a perfect picnic spot in the park.No: De snakket om kunst, sykler og livet, og lo av hendelsen.En: They talked about art, bikes, and life, and laughed about the incident.No: Sindre lærte da at av og til er de beste eventyrene de vi ikke planlegger.En: Sindre learned then that sometimes the best adventures are the ones we don't plan.No: Han ble mer oppmerksom, men også åpen for spontane opplevelser.En: He became more attentive but also open to spontaneous experiences.No: Dagen endte med at de satt der sammen, spiste, lo og nøt sommerens sjarm.En: The day ended with them sitting together, eating, laughing, and enjoying the charm of summer.No: Pikniken ble bedre enn Sindre kunne forestilt seg, og han tenkte at dette var en midtsommer han aldri ville glemme.En: The picnic became better than Sindre could have imagined, and he thought that this was a midsummer he would never forget.No: Elin hadde fått inspirasjonen hun søkte, og en uventet venn.En: Elin had found the inspiration she was seeking, along with an unexpected friend.No: De begge var enige om at det var en perfekt dag i parken.En: They both agreed that it was a perfect day in the park.

My book (yep, it's a USA Today Best Seller!) breaks down exactly how to get there: https://hayhs.com/u_pp_hc_az From Welfare to 8 Figures | Hay House Author | Marketing Strategist | Mom of 3 ❤️ —------------------------------ Hi, I'm Rachel Pedersen.  Some people call me the Queen of Social Media... but I didn't start there. My story isn't a straight line. It's a rollercoaster filled with mistakes, lessons, wins, and growth.  Here's a little bit of the backstory:  2010: Became a mom at 21. Unplanned, unprepared, but determined. 2011: Became an alcoholic single mom on welfare. Rock bottom? Pretty much. 2012: Enrolled in hair school to turn my life around. Graduated with 5 job offers from the top salons in my city. 2013: Landed a job at a top salon. It felt like the start of something new. 2014: Met my husband. Married him 13 days later (yep, 13 days). 2015: We had another baby and both changed careers. Life kept evolving. 2016: Got my first real social media management client, got sober, and went viral—all in the same year. 2017: Replaced my 9-5 income, resigned, and retired my husband too. Freedom tasted good. 2018: Crossed $1,000,000 in my business and welcomed baby #3. Growth in business and family. 2019: Built a second business to $1,000,000. Turns out lightning can strike twice. 2020: Hired my dream team and scaled both businesses to 7 figures. Leadership became my new obsession. 2021: Landed a dream book deal with Hay House and gave a TEDx Talk. A surreal “pinch me” year. 2022: Hit a wall. Complete mental breakdown. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Faced my trauma, did the hard healing work, and came out stronger. 2023: Began writing fiction books with my husband - and testing out more creative marketing campaigns. Went mega-viral multiple times, too! 2024: Started our consulting company, Pelanora, and scaled some pretty cool businesses.  2025: About to be the most exciting year yet! Today, I run multiple 7-figure businesses, help entrepreneurs scale without losing their sanity, and teach marketing strategies that actually work. No gimmicks, no sleazy tactics, just authentic growth. Success isn't about having a perfect story - it's about writing your own, one messy, beautiful chapter at a time.
