Becoming Your Best Self with Beth Young: Small Steps to Big ChangeIn this inspiring episode of Linda's Corner: Inspiration for a Better Life, I sit down with Beth Young — keynote speaker, health and wellness coach, founder of The Great Calm, and recipient of the Houston Women in Excellence Award — to talk about how to become your best self through small, consistent changes.Beth's life is a testament to the power of intentional living. Raised in a home surrounded by smoking and drinking, she made a bold decision early on: “That's not how I want to live.” That choice, rooted in self-awareness, would go on to serve her through some of life's toughest challenges — including surviving a brain tumor and a traumatic brain injury from a devastating car accident. Her neurologist was amazed by her recovery, saying, “You're six months ahead of others with the same injury because you live your 5 pillars.”Beth shares her powerful 5 Pillars of Health:NutritionMovementRelationshipsQuality SleepMindfulnessThese pillars are simple, accessible, and profoundly effective — especially when practiced consistently. “It's not rocket science,” Beth explains. “We just do the basics, and we do them consistently.”We also dive into:A unique breathing technique that can prevent anxiety attacksThe importance of “starting small” when making life changesWhy movement-based meditations, like tai chi, are perfect for those who struggle with traditional meditationHow “walkie talkies” — walking with a friend — can enhance both physical and emotional wellnessOne of my favorite takeaways from our conversation: “Did you know you cannot have an anxiety attack if you're getting enough oxygen to your brain? So I'm going to show you this really cool, unique way to breathe...”This episode is a beautiful reminder that becoming your best self doesn't require perfection — just consistent, mindful effort.Connect with Beth Young: 

In previous episodes, we've discussed how stereotypical gay culture has idolized youth, beauty, and sex. This fixation has led some gay men to equate midlife with “aging out” of the community, often resulting in internalized shame and a complicated relationship with aging.In this episode, Hunter Flournoy, a licensed therapist, coach, breathworker, healer, and spiritual guide, joins us to talk about how gay men can confront ageism and create more fulfilling, authentic lives in midlife and beyond.Related Episodes:Listen to Episode 60.

In this episode, Dr. Stuart Slavin speaks with Dr. Elliott Higgins, director of Health and Well-Being for UCLA's Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine. Together they explore the development of the Well-Being Influencers Survey for Health Care (WISH)—a validated, non-proprietary tool that measures the organizational conditions shaping clinician well-being. Dr. Higgins discusses how WISH shifts the focus from individual burnout to systemic factors such as transparency, fairness, and psychological safety, offering leaders actionable insights to drive meaningful change. The conversation highlights how data-driven, collaborative research can reframe accountability, empower departments to tailor interventions, and move the national dialogue from burnout awareness toward system-level solutions that enhance both workforce and patient care.

How is the great animal care already happening on your farm helping New Zealand dairy stay ahead of global market expectations?In this episode of Talking Dairy, we explore why animal care matters for New Zealand's dairy competitiveness and how farmers have helped shape DairyNZ's research right from the start.You'll hear from Penny Timmer-Arends and Dr Stacey Hendriks as they explain what markets and consumers are asking for, how NZ compares internationally, and what influences cow comfort and welfare in our pasture-based farm systems.Penny and Stacey also discuss the challenges to good cow welfare that farmers are managing, like heat stress, comfortable lying surfaces and seasonal staffing pressure. They explain how current DairyNZ research – including work using wearable tech – is building better insights into how cows experience their environment, so farmers can make informed decisions, and our sector can stay future-ready.This episode gives you a practical overview of where animal care expectations are heading and the science that supports farmers to stay ahead. Links to more information mentioned in this episode:Animal Welfare - DairyNZ | DairyNZResearch - Science Projects - Heat Stress | DairyNZResearch - Science Projects - United States Mega Dairies | DairyNZThe development of a tool to assess cow quality of life based on system-level attributes across pastoral dairy farms - ScienceDirectHave feedback or ideas for future episodes?

Send us a textFrom the Vault; This week I am joined by the wondeful Danika Sanchez as we talk about all things to do with looking after your baby in the best way possible.Danika is the owner of "Baby Step Concierge Nursing", in itself a fascinating idea already. She holds a BSN in nursing, an RNC for NICU, and is certified in neonatal touch and massage. We are talking about some of the big things that parents should really know about taking care of a baby but probably don't.Did you know that it's really important to feed your baby through out the night and that a baby shouldn't sleep all the way through the night?Why babies don't like fast movements and loud noises.The right way to swaddle might not be to wrap the baby like a burrito.You can NOT spoil your baby by holding them too much!Why bath time can be difficult for babies and how to make it easier.A different way to change the baby's diaper that's kinder on your little one.How crazy it is that we have so many ante-natal classes and very few post-partum services when it would make soo much sense for baby's and parent's health and wellbeing.And soo much more, it's simply crazy how much evidence based information she shares in the hour she spent talking to me.I also have to say I think her idea of a post-partum concierge service is really clever and provides a services that I think a lof of parents could benefit from. I hope it catches on and, as always, I hope this sort of thing becomes available through your insurance or national health system.Check out the Babystepsnursing.com website for more resources and, if you're lucky enough to live in California, to get in touch.Just a  reminder that HPNB still only has 5 billing cycles!So this means that you not only get 3 months FREE access, no obligation!

I believe that leading a spirit-respecting workplace is easier than managing a traditional organisation - it tends to take on a life of its own.However, at the same time, leading this kind of workplace is also harder, particularily for those of us that are compelled to control the uncontrollable. (smile).Most of us have clear ideas about what should happen and not happen in organisations and our reponsibilites as leaders within them. These become the rules by which we do our work and simplify the workplace. It simplifies the way we do businesss by keeping everything on a superficial level.When we choose to build a spirit-respecting and spirit-nurturing organisation, we give up the illusion of simplicity. We build an environment for  courageous leadership that encompasses everyone. WE make it safe to explore, to try newthings, to stretch our creativity. Time now to explore the principles.Additional InsightsSpirituality: The Next Frontier of Workplace Wellbeing | Susannah Healy.https://youtu.be/MosvBKul270Dream Dare Dazzle

Tell us about your Adventure!Caregiving for our spouse, aging parents, or even our own children is a HUGE part of retirement that many people don't think about when planning for retirement, but very often can define our retirement. Caring for others is often a deeply fulfilling journey, yet it can come with significant challenges. Many caregivers frequently find themselves feeling overwhelmed and neglecting their own needs while they focus on those they care for. This is where self-care becomes essential. Mike Collins, a noted advocate for caregiver wellness, has developed a helpful framework called the Five H's: Heart, Head, Health, Home, and Hands. In this post, we will explore each of these components and how they can empower caregivers to maintain their balance and well-being.

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we sit down with Eric Mosley, Founder, CEO, and Board Member at Workhuman to discuss how AI and recognition are reshaping the workplace. Eric reveals how companies can unlock hidden talent and reduce bias by combining AI with the human data hidden inside recognition moments.He explains why 80–90% of AI projects fail, not because of the technology, but because companies lack meaningful data to train their systems. Recognition, he says, provides a treasure trove of insight into real performance, collaboration, and potential.From the emotional power of gratitude to the measurable ROI of recognition, Eric paints a vision of the future where AI doesn't replace humanity, it amplifies it.

What if we could bridge the divide between healthcare leaders who understand that team member safety and wellbeing is essential and those who view it as nice-to-have with a small shift in focus? That's what happens when Carlton Abner, DNP, RN, NBC-HWC, reframes wellbeing goals as protecting capacity – whether capacity to learn or teach, perform or recover, or empathize and connect. In this episode of Caring Greatly, Dr. Abner shares what it means to protect capacity for students at Kansas City University (KCU), including medical students. He shares how important capacity protection is for a generation of students who want to engage differently in their work, with a strong focus on passion and connection.Dr. Abner's 30+ years of healthcare and leadership experience began as an ER/trauma nurse with the Army where he led interprofessional teams within various healthcare settings around the world. Today he serves as the Vice Provost for Student Engagement and Wellbeing at KCU. In this role, he works to elevate and strengthen the overall culture of student engagement and comprehensive wellbeing strategies. Before joining KCU, Dr. Abner was the Dean and Lead Faculty for the Veterans Affairs Innovative Technology Advancement Lab at Cerner in Kansas City, Missouri. He recently retired as a Lieutenant Colonel from the Kansas Air National Guard, where he was one of only 89 Chief Nursing Executives nationwide, culminating a distinguished 25-year military career.Dr. Carlton Abner is a leader who cares greatly. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Stryker.

In this powerful transmission, Julia opens the golden gates of Crete — an island woven with honey light, temple song, and the hum of the Bee Priestess lineage.Receive the crystalline codes of the Melissae, the ancient feminine oracles of regeneration and creation, and journey into the sound-field where bees once carried the frequencies of the Daughters of Jupiter.This episode is not a story, but a living current — an initiation into the womb temples of Gaia and the remembrance of your own divine architecture as a creatrix being of cosmic nectar and light.

This week on News for the Heart, join host Laurie and co-host Tracy McBurney as we discuss Journey to Wholeness through Powerful Healing. We share a critical and timely exploration into our personal and family financial history. Specifically, Laurie shares her deep concerns about generational financial burden and limitations, and her need to understand her past. Consequently, Tracy offers support, acknowledging the desire to explore these childhood experiences.Moreover, Tracy dives into the concept of operating life in safe mode or on autopilot. Initially, Art Martin's work revealed how trauma and stress cause the inner conscious mind to disengage, letting artificial consciousness take over. Therefore, if you feel stuck in a financial rut, then this programming may be running your life. Crucially, Tracy now emphasizes the necessity of fully restoring inner conscious presence. So we look at all aspects of life—not just for survival, but also for true personal growth and healing.In addition, the conversation shifts to the profound impact of life events, such as motherhood, on overall well-being and relationships. Fundamentally, Tracy and Laurie discuss the need to recognize underlying life recipes and patterns that contribute to financial stress. Ultimately, the key to transformation lies in engaging the divine heart—the all-knowing, wise, healing intelligence. Thus, this divine connection allows you to detoxify stress, install new programming, and overcome disengagement. Furthermore, by reconnecting with your whole self—your soul and spirit—you can uninstall autopilot and confidently step into a more abundant life.

Welcome to Wellthy Living ConversationsEP 73: DISCERNMENT AS A PRACTICE: MAKE CLEAR DECISIONS FOR LIFE AND WORK with guest Nathalie MartinekNathalie Martinek, PhD traded biological research for decoding toxic relationships and workplaces. Think of her as a guide through the minefields of personal relationships and modern professional life, equipping people with the knowledge and skills to interrupt dysfunctional patterns, relate better, and restore stability.Intro: We're living in an age where information and opinions come at us from every direction, yet clarity feels harder to find than ever. Discernment helps us cut through that noise, in our relationships, decisions, and the way we interpret the world around us. It's not about judgment or perfection; it's about developing the inner radar that helps us know what's true, what's safe, and what's aligned.Together, Nathalie and I unpack what discernment really looks like in practice: how we recognise it, why we override it, and what it costs and gives us when we finally trust it, so you can make decisions with clarity and confidence.We discuss:What discernment actually isWhy we struggle to trust our own discernmentHow culture, social media, and information overload cloud our clarityNathalie's Liberation Cycle: disrupt, extract, and release, a process that turns awareness into real changeHow discernment helps us protect our energy, set boundaries, and still stay open-heartedThe cost of choosing truth over belonging and how discernment can deepen connection rather than destroy itSimple, real-world ways to start practising discernment in daily lifeLinks & resources Find out more about guest Narhalie Martine: https://www.drnathaliemartinek.com/Read Nathalie's Substack article 'How to Develop Discernment' Nathalie's 'Hacking Narcissism' substack: https://www.hackingnarcissism.com/Discernment Series Reflective Reset Guides designed to help you pause, reflect, and practice discernment in real-life moments.

By exploring the 'what-if mind,' we unpack how these relentless thoughts can spiral into overwhelming anxiety. The discussion centers on recognizing where our concerns originate, often rooted in our instinct to protect ourselves. While our minds are hardwired to anticipate dangers and potential problems, this survival mechanism can easily turn into an exhausting cycle of worry.The show emphasizes that these what-ifs can feel convincing and powerful, often painting scenarios that never materialize while neglecting positive outcomes. This pattern leads to a narrowed perspective, amplifying fear beyond reality. I stress the importance of not fighting or suppressing these thoughts but rather acknowledging their presence and gently guiding the mind back to the present—where our true power lies.Throughout the episode, I share strategies to help listeners identify and manage their what-if thoughts. The key is early recognition—skills that can be cultivated over time. I discuss the significance of labeling anxious thoughts as they arise, reframing them to acknowledge that they are simply future predictions and not current facts. This technique enables listeners to replace anxiety with grounding affirmations and return to their breath, thereby reclaiming their calm.#AnxietyRelief, #FutureAnxiety, #Overthinking, #WorryLess, #CalmYourMind, #WhatIfs, #AnxietySupport, #StressRelief, #AnxietyAwareness, #AnxietyTips, #EmotionalWellness, #QuietMind, #Mindfulness, #PresentMoment, #ReturnToNow, #BeHereNow, #BePresent, #MindfulLiving, #InTheMoment, #MindfulnessPractice, #CalmMind, #PeaceOfMind, #GuidedMeditation, #MeditationPractice, #BreathingExercises, #Breathwork, #Grounding, #Mantra, #Affirmations, #DailyMeditation, #MeditationJourney, #MindfulBreathing, #MentalHealth, #MentalHealthMatters, #SelfCare, #SelfLove, #PersonalGrowth, #InnerPeace, #Wellness, #Wellbeing, #Healing, #EndTheStigma, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #GinaRyan, #AnxietyCoach, #LifeCoach, #WellnessPodcast, #Coaching, #PodcastLife. #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send us a textThe nonprofit sector is facing a “polycrisis”. In this candid conversation, we unpack how simultaneous shocks (policy shifts, funder chill, shrinking donor pools) are reshaping civil society and what small nonprofits can do to adapt. We talk about building durable strategies instead of episodic crisis responses, and how to make decisions that protect mission over ego. Just as importantly, we get real about leadership wellbeing: navigating fear, staying in productive tension, and knowing when to step back. You'll hear concrete ways to hold both urgency and care without burning yourself out or your team. On this week's episode of The Small Nonprofit Podcast, host Maria Rio sits down with consultant and movement leader Rachel D'Souza, founder and principal of Gladiator Consulting and a member of the Community-Centric Fundraising Global Council. Together, they explore how nonprofit leaders can stay grounded, collaborative, and courageous in uncertain times, and what this moment asks of all of us. The Highlights: Polycrisis = this is a structural reset, not a blip. Multiple shocks are hitting at once, from government pullbacks to donor-consolidation trends; this reset requires long-term strategy, not perpetual crisis appeals. Leadership in ambiguity: Discomfort isn't the same as harm; staying in relationship through tension is a core leadership skill right now. Mission over ego: When resources shift, leaders may need to right-size, share services, merge, or even sunset, to preserve gains made. Wellbeing as capacity: The sector isn't well; leaders need practices that keep them resourced enough to make hard, long-horizon decisions. Values alignment matters: If we claim justice externally, our internal policies and culture must reflect it. Actionable Tips for Nonprofits: Create a “durability plan,” not just a crisis plan: Define 12–24 month funding scenarios, decision triggers (e.g., reserves level), and pre-agreed pivots (program pause, shared HR/finance). Normalize productive tension: Add a “discomfort check” to meetings: name what feels hard, distinguish discomfort from harm, and agree on the next experiment. Protect leadership capacity: Set non-negotiables (quiet hours, coverage plans, reflective time). Model boundaries so the team believes you mean it. Align inside practices: Audit internal policies (pay equity, leave, flexibility) to match your external equity commitments. Then share that story with donors. Resources and Links: Guest: Rachel D'Souza— Founder & Principal, Gladiator Consulting Website: gladiatorrds.com  Instagram: @ConsultingGladiator LinkedIn: Gladiator Consulting / Rachel D'Souza Book a Discovery Call HereSupport the show Connect with the show: Watch the episode on YouTube; follow Maria Rio on LinkedIn for more conversations and resources.

It's time to go behind the curtain of the director role and have honest discussions with leaders in the campus recreation industry. In this episode, host Grady Sheffield, the director of Campus Recreation at Towson University and senior advisor to Campus Rec Magazine, sits down with Dr. Iisha Voltz, the executive director of Recreation and Well-Being at Texas Southern University. Voltz shares her incredible journey from student fitness attendant to executive director at one of the nation's largest HBCUs — all within the same campus. With over 20 years of service and 15 as a director, her story highlights the power of consistency, student impact, and leading with clarity and heart. She also opens up about her role in Project COURAGE, her passion for student leadership and what it means to lead at an HBCU.

This week on Be YOU, join Jill as she revisits an exercise from two episodes ago in which listeners were asked to do a "brain dump" of their fears and worries and then rewrite/reframe them in positive ways. She encourages listeners to continue doing this exercise, even affirming that many people around the world are participating! The key part of the exercise now? As Jill explains, be aware of when you are speaking your fears and worries out loud, and immediately "flip the script" by saying the positive version out loud instead. Jill gives some examples, like if you find yourself complaining about someone being irresponsible, you could instead say out loud that they are learning and growing. She highlights that it's really important to say the positive version out loud and not just think it. Jill makes the argument that the words that we use have a lot of power and energy and that we often speak our fears and worries into existence without even realizing. By consciously flipping the script out loud, she reiterates, we can change the way we see the world and the people in it. Jill also takes a moment to plug a book written by a previous guest of the podcast, Lisa Morton – a book titled Aligned at Home: How Feng Shui and Holistic Design Can Restore Your Energy and Well-Being. Grab a copy here! Also, don't forget - Jill will be hosting an upcoming retreat - the More of Me retreat - offering a deep dive into self-discovery. Head to jillherman.com for more details!

Welcome to another episode of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this episode, Dr. Sarah Smith sits down with Dr. Cheryl Chase, a clinical psychologist and expert in attention and learning disorders, to explore the unique challenges clinicians face in making their workday more sustainable. Dr. Chase shares her journey from working with children to advising physicians and other adults, highlighting practical strategies for maintaining executive function, managing overwhelming administrative tasks like charting, and coping with burnout and decision fatigue. The conversation dives deep into how both neurodiverse and neurotypical clinicians can adopt simple, habit-based solutions to tackle the ever-growing workload, find ways to set boundaries, and build systems that truly support wellbeing—inside and outside the clinic. Whether it's accepting that perfection is unattainable, learning to disappoint others when necessary, or using visual tools and external reminders to stay organized, Dr. Chase brings relatable wisdom and actionable advice to help listeners preserve their energy and get home with their work done. If you've ever wondered how to start tackling that painful chart backlog, keep your executive function sharp throughout the day, or simply give yourself more grace at work, you're in the right place. Get ready for a thoughtful, empowering discussion packed with ideas you can put into practice today. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Habits Beat Willpower: Whether it's charting, managing emails, or tackling that overwhelming to-do pile, consistent habits and small rewards can make all the difference. Set up simple, repeatable systems to take the edge off tasks you hate—pair a reward with every chart completed, or celebrate reaching micro-goals. Radical Acceptance & Boundaries: It's okay (and necessary) to get comfortable disappointing others. You can't (and shouldn't) say yes to everything—prioritize your energy for the things and people that matter most. Set clear boundaries for email, patient messages, and team interruptions. Support Your Executive Function: Fatigue and burnout are real. Proactively support your brainpower with quality sleep, mindful breaks, minimal task switching, and templates to reduce decision fatigue. Even short, timed bursts of focused work can move you forward! Meet Dr. Cheryl Chase: Dr. Cheryl Chase is a licensed clinical psychologist based in Independence, Ohio (a suburb of Cleveland), specializing in ADHD, learning disorders, and emotional challenges across the lifespan. Through PSYPACT, she is able to serve clients in over 42 states in the US. She's also an international speaker and consultant, known for making complex topics like executive function and dyslexia both relatable and actionable. Whether she's working with families, schools, or businesses, Dr. Chase blends science with real-world strategies—and a dose of humor. -------------- Would you like to view a transcript of this episode?

Susan shares how the angels can assist us in every facet of life -- cultivating prosperity, nurturing emotional balance, strengthening relationships, and achieving a more harmonious work-life flow. Drawing from her years as a teacher with the Diana Cooper School of White Light and her own channeled experiences, she explains how the simple act of asking our angels for help can ignite profound changes in our vibration and reality.Through guided insights, practical tools, and powerful visualization techniques, Susan reveals how to recognize the subtle language of the angels and how they communicate through synchronicities, intuition, and energetic resonance. We talk about clearing old patterns, working with shadow aspects, and balancing the chakras to become receptive to the flow of celestial energy. She also discusses how angels and ascended masters can assist in protecting our energetic field, improving sleep, and helping us manifest aligned partnerships and sacred abundance.As Susan reminds us, the angels are not distant beings but loving companions - cosmic coaches guiding us to awaken our divine potential. Their purpose is to help humanity rise, to support us as we align with our higher selves, and to remind us that the universe is always conspiring in our favor.
