Podcasts about what will people think

New novels by Sara Hamdan and Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas follow women in the entertainment industry who must balance ambition with the pressures of family, friendship and love. First, in What Will People Think?, a Palestinian-American woman named Mia works as a fact checker by day and performs standup comedy by night. She hides her comedy career in order to protect her family until she discovers her grandmother has a secret too. In today's episode, Hamdan joins NPR's Ailsa Chang for a conversation about the politicization of the Palestinian identity and using comedy to explore cultural stereotypes. Then, in Climbing in Heels, three women working as secretaries at a Hollywood agency face sexism as they aspire to careers beyond their office jobs. In today's episode, Goldsmith-Thomas talks with NPR's Leila Fadel about moving from secretary to agent in her own career.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

It's typical for young adults, ages 18-25, to leave the nest and start to fly on their own. Many young adults continue to discover who they are and what believe as they move away from their family of origin. This is not the case in the Mormon church where Young Adults are sequestered into singles wards, sent on missions, and expected to start families at a young age, all with the intention of maintaining their position as a cog in the Mormon machine. This week we wrap up our exploration of the development of Mormon identity throughout the first 25 years of a person's life.

Alistair reflects on Zephaniah 3:14-20 and Philippians 4:4-7 as part of KNEC Church online. www.knec4jesus.org.uk "Shame is a focus on self, guilt is a focus on behaviour. Shame is “I am bad.” Guilt is “I did something bad.” Guilt says I'm sorry. I made a mistake. Shame says, I'm sorry. I am a mistake." (Brené Brown, I thought it was just me: Making the Journey from “What Will People Think?” to “I Am Enough”, 2007)

Danielle Reed and I spoke about one of my favorite topics - values. Last year, as we entered the pandemic, I *finally* made time to do a “values exercise”. It was an extension of a smaller values list I had done before. This one, I took the time to think, considering fully the definitions and etymology of each word… I made a lot of word discoveries and discoveries about myself.    I would love to invite you to listen in and consider if maybe it's time for you to make time to discover your core values - and experience the clarity, peace and impact of that on your life! **   “When something is off, pause and go through your values. You'll find the one that is off and all you gotta do in that moment is say, how can I step more towards this right now, right in this moment. We get our power back when we realize that we are in control of this, that I can step back on my path, in any moment. It's not always easy, but it's possible.” - Danielle Reed Connect with Danielle Reed:   https://coachonthego.net/   https://www.fitfierce.ca/   https://coachonthego.net/one-day-workshops/   https://coachonthego.net/the-daring-way-4/   https://coachonthego.net/a-year-of-joy/   https://coachonthego.net/rising-strong/     https://coachonthego.net/shop/   https://www.facebook.com/coachonthego.net   https://www.instagram.com/coach_onthego/ Mentioned in interview:   **As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases**   Danielle Reed: It's Time to Stop Making Bagels: A Journey Towards Embracing Imperfection Paperback https://amzn.to/3yVRneV   Danielle Reed: 30 Days to What Matters (Full Colour): A Values Journal Paperback   https://amzn.to/36ytQnS   Danielle Reed: What Matters?: Find Your Values, Live Your Values, Give Others Permission to do the Same Paperback   https://amzn.to/3r3BzUq   Don Miguel Ruiz: The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom https://amzn.to/3wALEJN   Don Miguel Ruiz: The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom (A Toltec Wisdom Book) Kindle Edition   https://amzn.to/3yTj7Au   Caroline Myss: Sacred Contracts: Awakening Your Divine Potential   https://amzn.to/3r3zU1j   Caroline Myss: Sacred Contracts: Awakening Your Divine Potential Kindle Edition https://amzn.to/3AV8hvH   Patterson, Grenny, McMillan, Switzler: Crucial Conversations Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High https://amzn.to/3AXDcaM   Patterson, Grenny, McMillan, Switzler: Crucial Conversations Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High, Second Edition Kindle Edition   https://amzn.to/3xABQ3G   Brene Brown - Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Love, Parent & Lead   https://amzn.to/3kp33Tt   Brene Brown - Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead Kindle Edition https://amzn.to/3wDzakB Brene Brown - Gifts of Imperfection, The: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are  https://amzn.to/3AXJ4B2 Brene Brown - The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are Kindle Edition https://amzn.to/3yTlnHY Tarana Burke and Brene Brown - You Are Your Best Thing: Vulnerability, Shame Resilience, and the Black Experience Kindle Edition https://amzn.to/3xE8KjX   Tarana Burke and Brene Brown - You Are Your Best Thing: Vulnerability, Shame Resilience, and the Black Experience https://amzn.to/2UIiHy8   Brene Brown: Dare to Lead https://amzn.to/3yQu1Hr   Brene Brown: Dare to Lead: Brave Work.

Today's episode is about good communicators, what makes them good and how we can use that information to improve our own performance. However, I'm not looking at politicians or performers, the people you usually expect to be great communicators; no, I'm looking at an economist, a professor of particle physicist and a clinical social worker.

Today's show is about a topic that has been a struggle for much of my life and career. I've fallen victim to comparing myself to others and feeling like I'm not measuring up. It's taken a lot of personal work for me to learn to compare in healthy ways that don't cripple and stifle my creativity and purpose. Are you in the same boat? Join us to learn more! Our Featured Guest - Supriya Blair, PsyD Dr. Supriya Blair is a psychologist in Albany, NY. We have connected through the STC community, and I wanted to get her input on the topic of comparing ourselves to others. We'll start by discussing how comparison comes too easily for many of us and how Supriya noticed this comparison impacting her life until she was able to reframe her perspective. We will consider an all-too-familiar scenario in which a colleague's success triggers insecurity in our lives, along with helpful tips and resources to navigate the tricky field of comparison to others. http://www.drsupriya.com/ (Dr. Supriya) You'll Learn ●     Why comparison is so prevalent in the helping professions ●     Three ways we compare ourselves to our colleagues: ○     Seeing someone else's path and journey as THE template for success ○     Not recognizing my authenticity as a source of empowerment ○     Not allowing for different business models in finding my unique path ●    How to handle the pushback when we launch into our own path ● Navigating the difficult moments when someone else experiences success or achieves the milestone that we want ●     Why the ability to serve is the most important thing ●     Practical help in the area of comparison to others: ○     Brene՛ Brown's book, https://geni.us/buOy0u (I Thought It Was Just Me (but it isn't): Making the Journey from "What Will People Think?" to "I Am Enough") ○     Don Miguel Ruiz's book, https://geni.us/1ZHXGNt (The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom (A Toltec Wisdom Book)) ○     Meditation practice Today's Podcast Sponsor: Headway Headway: Headway is building a new mental healthcare system by using cutting-edge software to connect clients with therapists who accept insurance, helping providers to expand their practices, and individuals to finally find a therapist they can afford.

"Moira" was a stay at home mom of 3 boys, who bought into the hype of MLM in 2016. While chasing the dream of being at the top of the pyramid, "Moira" found herself involved with 3 different MLMs, including an elusive invitation to a "Ground Floor Opportunity". From her vantage point, she got a deep look into the toxic positivity of MLM, and experienced more psychological manipulation than she bargained for.

Why is it so hard to communicate like ourself? Things are changing around us which means we, too, are changing. Sometimes out of choice, sometimes out of necessity; sometimes it's conscious and often it's happening without our realizing. But we are changing and when that realization hits, how to do we communicate authentically? Especially when you don't exactly know who you are being authentic to?Recommended Reading:I Thought It Was Just Me (but it isn't): Making the Journey from "What Will People Think?" to "I Am Enough" by Brene Brown (https://amzn.to/3nZgzwL)Gifts of Imperfection, The: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are by Brene Brown (https://amzn.to/3uKDrCs)Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking by Malcolm Gladwell (really, anything by Malcolm Gladwell - in this book he looks at how some people do amazing things by following their intuition, what their gut tells them to do before they can blink.

Well, sisters, grab your Bible and carve out space to study God's Word with us and you'll find out.Yes, God is eager to meet you right where you are and bring about a radical transformation in your heart and mind that will result in a different way of thinking and living . . . an ultimately aligning with His best for your life.Growth LinksLet Go and Live Bible Study in the Sisterhood {Save Here}Hebrews 11I Thought It Was Just Me (but it isn't): Making the Journey from "What Will People Think?" to "I Am Enough" by Brene BrownLife Coach Training CourseLearn More about Life CoachingFind more links and resources, especially about attachment, within the Let Go & Live Bible StudyFind a Christian CounselorShould you see a counselor or a coach?

“The earth laughs in flowers.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson Guest Introduction:   This is Exploring the Seasons of Life podcast episode 44. I’m Cindy MacMillan and today’s guest is Virginia Joy.  Welcome to Exploring the Seasons of Life, a podcast for women with a big heart on a spiritual journey. Each week, join Cindy MacMillan as she interviews coaches, spiritual explorers and celebrants from all walks of life about beginnings, endings and the messy bits in-between. Self-love, well-being, and mindset are at the heart of our conversations because once you change the inside, the outside will begin to change as well.   Virginia Joy is originally from New York. Born in Brooklyn and she knew as a kid she always wanted to help people. Virginia Joy’s interest in Aromatherapy began over 20 years ago…as many who seek alternative therapies. She began using essential oils for common ailments: headaches, colds and flu, and then found herself reaching for essential oils for many other issues in particular - addressing the emotions. This was back in 1983, and there really weren’t many resources to buy essential oils at all.   In 2010 Stillpoint Aromatics was formally birthed.  At Stillpoint Aromatics, she sources and imports over 400 essential oils and extracts! All of Stillpoint's oils are either certified organic, wild-harvested, unsprayed, biodynamically farmed with the rhythms of the earth and or vintage.  Here’s a glimpse of our conversation:  4:35 You know, it really was. It was really an organic journey and looking back, I think those journeys, the unplanned ones are the most rewarding and the most expansive. 6:15 It's a great question and there's a lot of confusion because essential oils are not flower essences and vice versa. 11:17 So even if somebody has, let's say, a back issue, there will always be a pain blend, so to speak for the back. But there's always another reason why that back is flaring. And that's where aromatherapy can add such a different dimension working on the psyche and on those patterns that cause the physical issue.  15:24 But for just grief in general, Melissa (Melissa officinalis) it's also lemon balm is one of the premier oils for shock and trauma. I have a psychiatrist friend that uses Melissa - keeps a couple of drops on a cotton ball in a plastic bag in his office - for when his patients either disassociate or are having a lot of trouble - to breathe that.  16:43 But people say what's your favorite oil? I have to tell you, that the aromas that help shift me are Coppertone or Chinese food. And that's because it reminds me of my mother.  23:00 So in the Metaphysics of Essential Oils class, we do a lot of work on applying the essential oils to the chakras, and to the energetic body, and also how the chakras and energetic body ties into the different physical ailments that we could have. And we also go deeply into the folklore and the history of how the ancients use those plants and trees.  27:52 My website is www.stillpointaromatics.com. I have a couple of Facebook pages: Stillpoint Aromatics, and I also admin, the Ethical Aromatherapy, and my metaphysical one is called the Stillpoint Mystery School, and that's on Facebook. I think it's Stillpoint Aroma on Twitter and then you could also just if you want to just text me, you could just text me directly. It's 928-301-8699. And so that way you could bypass the store.   Thanks for joining us this week on Exploring the Seasons of Life podcast.  Make sure to visit our website, CynthiaMacMillan.com, where you can subscribe to the show on iTunes, Stitcher, or Spotify so you’ll never miss a show.

To grow your personal training business in 2020 and in 2021 you'll have to do things differently than you've ever done them. If you're starting a health coaching or personal training business you may honestly be at an advantage. You're not trying to fit into a mold that has only marginally been working in the past and that's forever broken since COVID19 began. You can most clearly evaluate the problems happening now and solve them. Why would you ever stop yourself from getting what you always say you want? Why would you stop yourself from making the kind of money you want? Why would you ever do that? But we do. If you don't try, you can't fail. If you don't start, you can't risk the embarrassment or discomfort that comes with not knowing exactly what comes next. If you wait til you're 100% ready, you'll never do anything. I didn't say it first. To grow your personal training business in 2020 you already know what's staring you in the face. You weren't ready for changed that happened. You do have to deal with them, anyway. You start where you are. If you find yourself thinking you need one more certification, or maybe you need a degree or another one… If you think you just need to review this information again… If those things are always preventing you from doing the things that really get you clients … Like making phone calls and following up on them… Like learning how to create better emails and going live on video so you get better by getting comfortable… Like getting in front of people to speak… in podcasts, on their summits, and again on your own live social media accounts… If you put things off until an imaginary time when you think you'll actually have more time…. Your life will be a series of “I'll be happy when…” “I'll make time for that when…” What Will People Think? No one wants to be judged or criticized. Your mistake though is in thinking that people aren't judging because you're not doing something.  They're always judging. The point is, their thoughts in the end don't matter. What matters is the regret or reward that you had doing the thing you wanted to do. If you are worried about being liked, or popular, or worried about what they'll think… you're making it all about you. It's about them. But we do this. We do it when we're scared, insecure, not feeling safe. Stop Procrastinating to Grow Your Personal Training Business in 2020 There's a flip side to this procrastination. And that is… why you get in your way when it's going well. When things are going really well and you find you get hurt, or sick, or you refuse to make more progress. Not outwardly, you never say, I'm not going to make progress, but you hit a wall. What's that about? Well, it's not really a wall at all it's a ceiling. When you're doing really well and you're gaining momentum, say you're getting clients, making more money, and suddenly you can't grow any more, in fact you may have a set back. What's that all about? It's Got a Name It's called Upper Limiting. It's a definite thing. You have a happiness ceiling. You're only comfortable being so happy. And after that you keep looking for the other shoe to drop. You ask all the time what's the worst thing that will happen? In fact you're looking for the worst thing to happen. So you think of reasons why you can't do something. You're too busy. You're overwhelmed. You have to figure it out for yourself first (as if you must be perfect before you can share it with others). You have a long list of “I can't because…” going on inside your head. There's a reason why you can't start creating your own brand on social media or begin offering classes or create a course. There's a reason you can't call someone you know you could help and ask them to be a client. There's a reason you won't get a coach and learn how to create an offer that is irresistible for the customers who love you already. There's safety in claiming you're overwhelmed or in getting ready to get ready. At least you subconsciously think there is. What you want to do is see it coming. Every time you are about to grow, do something new that has potential to increase your revenue or your happiness quota, you'll resist. We all do it. You've got to expect it. When you find yourself eating poorly, staying up late, skipping workouts or working out too much… because that's so comfortable to think if you just look more perfect… that's self-sabotage… or upper limiting, trying to keep you safe from doing the things you really want to do to grow your business.   Trying to start or grow your personal training business in 2020? I'd love a comment from you. If you're a trainer or health coach or want to be… I encourage you to look at the Flipping 50 Fitness Specialist… or learn more about the directory of F50F Specialists and where they are if you want to work with someone locally. Write support@flippingfifty.com and mention you're interested in learning more about how to become (or expand as) a menopause health coach or personal trainer.

It gave me a safe space to get clean and it taught me a lot, but then AA has kept me that way. AA is really what has saved my life." -Maylee Willson [35:03] Connect: Connect with Lajoie Society: Lajoie Society is Prickly & Blooming; please rate, review, and subscribe.

Before you get started with today's episode, I just wanted to address the fact that we are going to be talking about religion today. Religion is usually something we stay clear of because this topic is quite triggering for us and other survivors of spiritual and religious abuse who are part of our community. This is why we ask our members to stay away from religious expression, unless… it is part of your story or experience. This request has led to quite a few questions, so… Today, we are talking about religious abuse and religious trauma syndrome. That means we are obviously talking about religion as part of our stories. >> Special Guest: Brady Hardin

As I reconnected with myself, I was able to find my voice and step into a more embodied life. Other women noticed and, together, I have worked with hundreds of women supporting them in transforming their lives and finding their voice. I believe that when women are connected to their feelings, bodies, and spirits in a positive way, our world will change for the better. For over 22 years, I have worked with women as they navigate their vulnerabilities as children, mothers, daughters, employees and leaders. My career has been grounded in understanding human development, leadership, and team dynamics.

  Frustrated with how your body looks in the mirror or how, no matter how hard you try, your body isn’t getting smaller? Do you hate your body or feel upset on how many crappy things you say to yourself about how you look? You may not need to be smaller, and changing how you relate to your body is within your reach. Steph Ondrusek is on the show today to talk about how working with our body, focusing on your values, what your body is capable of, and the words we use about ourselves can change the way we look at our bodies, regardless of how we move. About Steph OndrusekSteph is a personal trainer, body image coach, and writer who believes that your power is bubbling inside you, waiting to be uncovered. From the Philadelphia area, she's back in the city again after living in Arkansas, getting her degree in Health and Exercise Science at Wake Forest University in North Carolina, and studying in Spain, picking up lessons in exercise, expansion, and enthusiasm for life along the way. She believes that women get to define ourselves, on our own terms, and that taking up space in the world how you choose to, in body and mind, is your right. Small Steps in the Show: Write down how often you use negative words to describe your body and let that be okay. Practice letting someone take a picture of you without seeing if they should delete it and don’t hide in the photo. Name the shame around a body part you’re feeling bad about.Focus on what your body CAN do. Remember you’re more than your body. Align your movement/fitness/weight loss goals with your values Mentioned in the Show:I Thought It Was Just Me (but it isn't): Making the Journey from "What Will People Think?" to "I Am Enough" by Brene BrownBold Body Initiative Strong By Steph WebsiteFollow Steph on Instagram | FacebookSign up for Steph’s Newsletter Get the full show notes here!Follow Aimee on Instagram | Facebook | PinterestSign up for the Wellness Wednesdays Newsletter Please leave a this show a rating and review on iTunes!

Hey ass kickers! Well, after nearly 10 years of blogging, 5 years and 228 podcast episodes, I’m FINALLY doing a favorite things episode! I tried to record both as a regular podcast episode AND video, but alas, I had an technology FAIL on the video side, so these images will have to do! So, without further ado, here are some of my favorite things… Misc. Golden Girls coasters. I don’t even think I need to sell you on this one. Hair and beauty: Nume Curling Wand- When I do actually do my hair, I use this curling wand. I’ve had a few different ones, and this one by far is my favorite. I often get comments on my hair and on one occasion was chased down in Target by a breathless woman asking me how I got my curls. Lush’s Sea Salt Spray-- I’ve tried several Sea Salt sprays, even a big brand name that will go unnamed, but they’ve all been a huge waste of money, until I tried Lush’s brand. The smell is amazing, it’s not sticky, and works great. MAC Cosmetics Studio Fix-- I use the powder (BTW, that link will take you to my shade, NC30, but you probably want to go somewhere where they sell it so someone can match your skin tone). Super easy to put on (I use a brush) and I use to even out my skin tone. Add a little blush, eyebrow pencil, and mascara and I’m done. The bralette- Two of my favorites are here and here. Great for the small to medium breasted women who don’t need a whole lot of support. Gold bond hand cream- I feel like such a grandma with this, but… I have really dry skin and can’t stand it when my hands feel dry. I’ve tried approximately 17,000 different hand creams and this one BY FAR is my favorite. It’s not greasy (unless you use way too much), and it works, even through a hand washing. I keep the small tubes in different drawers all over my house, in my purse, and in the car. I don’t consider myself a super techie person, but these are the apps I can’t live without AND they’re all easy to use. Apps I use: Audible-  Great for audiobooks! Need I say more? Goodreads- Organize all the books you’ve read, are currently reading, and want to read. I use it especially for logging books I want to read, and reading reviews from people I know-- as it syncs with Facebook. Voxer- I’m obsessed with this app and have been for years. It’s changed my relationship with my friends for the better! It’s a walkie talkie app that allows you to also text, send images and videos, and gifs. I also use it with my private clients. Podcast app- Duh. Venmo- Pay people and get paid easily with NO FEES. Super easy to set up and use. (I don’t know if I would recommend this for business, but check with your CPA.) Insight Timer- GREAT for meditation, especially for beginners. YogaGlo- Get access to loads of different teachers for yoga and meditation, all from the comfort of home! (Get your first two weeks of YogaGlo FREE when you sign up on YogaGlo.com/KICKASS.) Yoga Studio- Super easy to use Yoga app. The reason I love this is the simplicity. Not a lot of choices, but just enough to get the job done. gTasks Pro- Essential, especially if you use Google Calendar. It syncs to the “tasks” portion of your Google Cal, and is SO easy to use.

So very eye-opening! 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts. An oldie but a goodie. Easy read and good to find out how you receive love.

Martin You Are a Badass at Making Money: Master the mindset of wealth by Jen Sincero Documentaries: There are SO MANY great documentaries out there, and to be honest, I haven’t watched that many lately, but here are three that have stuck out to me immensely: Miss Representation. Watch this with the men in your life and with your daughters (appropriate age is around 13 years old.) Then, talk about it. The Mask You Live In. Again, watch this with the men in your life and with your sons (again, appropriate age is probably 12 or 13). Then, talk about it. 13th. This is such an important film. According to common sense media, 16 is an appropriate age for this one. http://yourkickasslife.com/230    

Brian Mayer discusses several area that contribute to the stigma of divorce.  There can be much shame and guilt when it comes to divorce and how we view ourselves.  We will talk about how being vulnerable is actually a good thing and can help reduce our shame.  We hope you enjoy today's message.  For more information and additional resources please visit our website at http://www.theremarriedlife.com Today's Goodies Brian discusses the direction of the show.  He plans to have all sorts of great topics and guests, including from a spiritual and a more scientific research based approach as well.   Shame is very prevalent issue when it comes to divorce.  It is a painful feeling of humiliation or distress caused by the consciousness of wrong or foolish behavior.     Vulnerability is the greatest sign of courage according to Brene Brown.  It means putting yourself out there in spite of what happened in the past.  She also says it is the thing that fuels innovation, change, and creativity. Shame and Guilt are hard to eliminate completely.  The goal is should be to obtain power over but to not necessarily to try to make it vanish   Feelings of Failure - The ultimate feeling of failure was had by Princess Diana and Prince Charles who divorced after a true fairy tale wedding and marriage.  While they are royalty, they are after all humans who had an immense pressure on them to live that out.     Feeling Less Than You Are - The average time it takes to feel like ourselves again after a divorce is about 4 years.   Feeling Different is another reason that dealing with the stigma of divorce is hard.  It can be tough to live physically and mentally in a world that seems to cater more toward initial marriages and intact families.     Resources Mentioned Brene Brown TED Talk called “Listening to Shame”:   I Thought It Was Just Me (but it isn't): Making the Journey from "What Will People Think?" to "I Am Enough" by Brene Brown Article:  How divorce still carries a stigma in the 21st century Thanks For Listening!
