Podcasts about workshops

Barbara Muschietti is the phenomenal producer behind IT Chapter One & Two (combined $1.17B worldwide), The Flash, and the new Max series IT: Welcome to Derry. We actually met 5 years ago during my early podcast grind when I cold-emailed Barbara inviting her on the show. She said yes! She invited me to the Warner Brothers lot, to her office, and generously gave me almost 3 hours of her time. It was a real turning point for me and the show. The world, and certainly Hollywood, has changed tremendously since then. Full disclosure: we recorded this mere days before the audacious news that Netflix won the bid to purchase Warner Bros. Discovery. Five years later, we're back. Barbara opens up about "pushing a very, very heavy boulder" aka the reality of making movies even as an established producer with billions in box office success. She talks about The Flash making $300 million worldwide and still being considered a disappointment. She gets raw about what she learned producing nine hours of IT: Welcome to Derry with child actors during the strikes. We also dig into the LA production crisis, why she still takes a photo of the Warner lot water tower every single morning, and she's terrified we might lose it. Enjoy xx cg   AOP SUBSTACK

After more than 25 years of practice and 20 years of teaching, Harmony has found herself in a very different relationship with yoga than the one she started with. In this conversation, she sits down with her friend and co-facilitator, Lindsay Johnson, to talk honestly about what happens when a highly structured, discipline heavy practice stops feeling like home to your body. They trace the arc from Ashtanga and power vinyasa into somatic yoga, nervous system literacy, trauma sensitivity, and embodied energetics, and how those worlds are coming together in their new 100 hour Somatic Yoga and Embodied Energy Teacher Training at Yoga Passage in Calgary.  Harmony shares how the dogma and dualism she experienced in traditional Ashtanga left her feeling traumatized and disconnected from her own body's wisdom, even as she continued to teach. Lindsay talks about growing up with medical trauma, discovering yoga as her first physical practice, and how chasing discipline, shapes, and handstands eventually gave way to a longing for freedom, expression, and true safety in her body. Together, they explore somatics as “coming home”: feeling instead of performing, building safety before “doing the work,” honouring the nervous system, and allowing movement, sound, and emotion to express in ways that look far less linear and far more like nature. They also speak directly to yoga teachers and long-time practitioners whose bodies are now saying no to old patterns, and how this training is designed as an initiation and a supplement to existing trainings rather than “just another certification.” If your yoga practice has started to feel like a grind, if your nervous system is already at capacity, or if you are curious about weaving subtle energy work, trauma literacy, and somatic language into the way you teach, this episode is an invitation to reimagine what yoga can be. In This Episode, You'll Hear About When a beloved practice stops working Harmony's honest reflection on feeling traumatized by the dogma and indoctrination around Ashtanga. What it is like when your body keeps saying “no” every time you get on your mat. Why so many midlife practitioners walk away from yoga entirely when the old way stops feeling safe. Lindsay's path through discipline into somatics First teacher training at Yoga Passage back in 2005 and years of teaching linear, disciplined styles like power vinyasa and Ashtanga. How a Saturday power class turned into a somatic class the moment she invited everyone to shake, and never went back. The realization that she had been hypervigilant and disconnected from her body for most of her life, and how somatics helped her come home. Discipline, structure and their limits Why highly structured systems can initially feel like safety for nervous systems shaped by trauma, chaos, or disorganized families. How discipline taught them to cue, hold space, and show up, yet eventually began to feel like a cage rather than support. The shift from “I need to fix myself and prove my worthiness” to “I am already whole, and the practice is about remembering that.” Somatic yoga as nervous system literacy What it means to teach from a felt sense instead of from performance or achievement. Using pendulation, “islands of safety,” and choice to guide students in and out of sensation. Why learning to relax and feel ease is a prerequisite for true regulation and resilience. Trauma sensitivity and language in class How somatic language differs from traditional cueing, especially around choice and autonomy. Giving students sovereignty instead of pushing them into “no pain, no gain” territory. Letting go of rigid bilateral rules and allowing asymmetry, ease, and curiosity to lead. Feminine energy, Kundalini and non-linear movement Reframing vinyasa and “flow” as something guided by breath and sensation, not just choreography. How Kundalini and Shakti express through spirals, oscillations, and organic movement rather than straight lines. The role of self-touch, oxytocin, and nurturing practices in regulating women's nervous systems. Embodied energetics and the subtle body Seeing the body as the densest part of the energetic field, not just a physical object. Working with the chakras, nadis, fascia, and spinal energetics as an integrated map. How teachers can sense the field, notice shifts, and differentiate between “my energy” and “the room.” The 100 Hour Somatic Yoga & Embodied Energy Teacher Training Who it is for: yoga teachers, healers, and coaches with a foundational training who want to go deeper. What it includes: somatic practices, nervous system education, subtle body mapping, trauma sensitive space-holding, and embodied leadership. How the in-person format at Yoga Passage in Calgary supports community, co-regulation, and live practice. About Our Guest: Lindsay Johnson Lindsay Johnson is a yoga teacher, somatic healing practitioner, and trauma-informed facilitator based in Calgary, Alberta. She has been practicing yoga for nearly 20 years and began teaching after her first training at Yoga Passage in 2005. Over the years, she has studied with teachers such as Shiva Rea and Baron Baptiste, taught power vinyasa and Ashtanga, owned her own studio, and eventually returned to Yoga Passage after major life changes in 2020.  Lindsay now focuses on somatic yoga, movement-based therapy, and nervous system literacy, helping students and clients reconnect with their bodies after trauma, burnout, and years of living in their heads. At Yoga Passage, she is listed as a practitioner offering somatic healing in their wellness program and teaches classes, workshops, full moon events, and her signature Soma Movement sessions.  Her work centres on sovereignty, choice, and collective healing. Through shaking practices, floor-based somatic sequences, and careful, choice-based language, Lindsay creates spaces where people can safely feel, express, and integrate their full emotional spectrum.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1213: Today we're talking Scout's aggressive service-first launch strategy, Carvana's stunning rise past Detroit's giants as it joins the S&P 500, and Waymo's shift from polite AV to confidently assertive city driver.Show Notes with links:Scout Motors is doubling down on a factory-run service network as it preps for a 2027 U.S. launch, betting that premium, reliable service will become a differentiator in the direct-to-consumer EV space.Scout will open 25 brand-owned rooftops at launch, both “Studios,” where customers shop and interact with a sales adviser, and “Workshops,” where service is performed. 57 rooftops are planned in Year 2.The brand plans 15% more annual service labor capacity than projected need to stay ahead of demand and reduce wait times.Scout aims to staff 1,400 service bays with roughly 900 technicians within five years, backed by VW Group resources but operating independently.“The way we describe our retail operations is a digital-first experience built on a service-first infrastructure.” — Cody Thacker, VP Commercial Operations, ScoutCarvana's comeback is officially Wall Street-certified as the online used-car disruptor joins the S&P 500, marking a stunning rebound from near-bankruptcy to an $87B valuation that now eclipses Ford and GM.Shares have surged more than 8,000% since 2022 and nearly doubled in 2025 as demand rebounded and cost discipline kicked in.Carvana now trades at 57× forward earnings, massively outpacing Detroit's single-digit multiples.The company sold a record 155,941 units in Q3, driving 55% revenue growth and fueling analyst confidence in potential volume leadership over CarMax by 2026.Index inclusion on Dec. 22 is expected to trigger significant buying from funds tracking the S&P.Waymo's once overly-courteous robotaxis are getting a software personality shift in San Francisco—assertive, human-like driving that's raising eyebrows, improving flow, and occasionally bending rules.Riders report more aggressive lane changes, quicker merges, and tighter gaps—closer to how real-world urban drivers operate.The shift follows complaints that overly passive AVs caused congestion, got stuck behind obstacles, and struggled downtown.Recent incidents include an illegal U-turn, a lane-change with no signal, and even a tragic neighborhood cat strike—fueling debate over “too human” behavior.Waymo says more assertiveness is required to scale in busy cities, with updates teaching AVs to make “common-sense decisions” when laws conflict.Thank you to today's sponsor, Mia.

What Security Congress Reveals About the State of CybersecurityThis discussion focuses on what ISC2 Security Congress represents for practitioners, leaders, and organizations navigating constant technological change. Jon France, Chief Information Security Officer at ISC2, shares how the event brings together thousands of cybersecurity practitioners, certification holders, chapter leaders, and future professionals to exchange ideas on the issues shaping the field today.  Themes That Stand OutAI remains a central point of attention. France notes that organizations are grappling not only with adoption but with the shift in speed it introduces. Sessions highlight how analysts are beginning to work alongside automated systems that sift through massive data sets and surface early indicators of compromise. Rather than replacing entry-level roles, AI changes how they operate and accelerates the decision-making path. Quantum computing receives a growing share of focus as well. Attendees hear about timelines, standards emerging from NIST, and what preparedness looks like as cryptographic models shift.  Identity-based attacks and authorization failures also surface throughout the program. With machine-driven compromises becoming easier to scale, the community explores new defenses, stronger controls, and the practical realities of machine-to-machine trust. Operational technology, zero trust, and machine-speed threats create additional urgency around modernizing security operations centers and rethinking human-to-machine workflows.  A Place for Every Stage of the CareerFrance describes Security Congress as a cross-section of the profession: entry-level newcomers, certification candidates, hands-on practitioners, and CISOs who attend for leadership development. Workshops explore communication, business alignment, and critical thinking skills that help professionals grow beyond technical execution and into more strategic responsibilities.  Looking Ahead to the Next CongressThe next ISC2 Security Congress will be held in October in the Denver/Aurora area. France expects AI and quantum to remain key themes, along with contributions shaped by the call-for-papers process. What keeps the event relevant each year is the mix of education, networking, community stories, and real-world problem-solving that attendees bring with them.The ISC2 Security Congress 2025 is a hybrid event taking place from October 28 to 30, 2025 Coverage provided by ITSPmagazineGUEST:Jon France, Chief Information Security Officer at ISC2 | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonfrance/HOST:Sean Martin, Co-Founder, ITSPmagazine and Studio C60 | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comFollow our ISC2 Security Congress coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/cybersecurity-technology-society-events/isc2-security-congress-2025Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageISC2 Security Congress: https://www.isc2.orgNIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards: https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/post-quantum-cryptographyISC2 Chapters: https://www.isc2.org/chaptersWant to share an Event Briefing as part of our event coverage?

We praise the idea of having “no expectations” in relationships—calling it freedom, maturity, or spiritual detachment. But is it? Or is it often just emotional avoidance dressed up as wisdom?In this episode, we unpack the myth of “no expectations,” exploring how people still rely on unspoken emotional agreements—loyalty, support, presence, effort—while refusing to name them. We examine why some people reject expectations, not because they are evolved, but because they want love without responsibility, connection without reciprocity, and care without accountability.Join the Newsletter to stay up to date on: Tips, Workshops, podcasts, coaching, speaking events, merch release! https://birdbrainwellness.activehosted.com/f/1limited 1:1 coaching spots available before the year ends: https://bit.ly/birdbrainwellness

En este episodio me siento a charlar con mi amigo y pedazo de retratista César Viera, un tío que ha pasado de pintar paredes con brocha gorda a exponer su trabajo en Adobe Max en Los Ángeles, dando charlas para Adobe y viajando por media Europa con sus workshops de retrato en clave baja. Todo eso, con una cámara veterana, un objetivo de segunda mano y un estilo tan personal que reconoces sus fotos al primer golpe de vista.Hablamos de cómo en solo unos años ha pegado un subidón brutal: workshops llenos por toda España, mentorías online de 6 semanas, viajes a Francia y Alemania como fotógrafo invitado y cabeza de cartel, y la locura máxima: que Russell Brown, el histórico evangelista de Adobe, lo encuentre por Instagram, venga a hacer un one-to-one con él a Valencia y termine invitándolo a Adobe Max con todos los gastos pagados y su obra expuesta allí.Pero no todo es glamour: también contamos la parte menos “instagrameable”:Años compaginando curro “normal” con la fotografía.Workshops que al principio se organizaba él solito: hoteles, logística, todo.Meses de presión por no llegar a fin de mes.Trabajos que no salen en redes (lámparas, encargos varios) pero que pagan las facturas. Si te mola el retrato dramático, la clave baja y quieres saber si se puede vivir del retrato hoy en día, en este podcast tocamos todo eso: equipo (y por qué César sigue enamorado de su vieja cámara), cómo usar Instagram como porfolio real, qué hace que un retrato tenga carácter y personalidad, y los consejos que le daríamos a quien quiera empezar ahora en fotografía de retrato sin pegarse la gran hostia.Te llevas:La historia real de cómo un fotógrafo de aquí termina en Los Ángeles con Adobe.Una buena dosis de motivación para disfrutar del proceso y no obsesionarte con el equipo.Claves para construir un estilo propio, crecer poco a poco y no dejar tu trabajo fijo antes de tiempo. Si quieres aprender cómo trabaja César por dentro, en el podcast te cuento dónde puedes ver su curso completo de retrato en clave baja, sus workshops presenciales y sus mentorías online de 6 semanas. Y, como siempre, si este contenido te ayuda, suscríbete al canal, deja un like y compártelo con ese amigo fotógrafo que sueña con vivir de sus retratos.

In this episode of Our Classroom, host Roberto Germán explores how emotion and identity serve as the gateway to authentic literacy engagement. Drawing from his presentation Reading with Purpose, Writing with Passion, Roberto invites educators to rethink what truly keeps students — especially reluctant and multilingual writers — from fully engaging with reading and writing. Through student testimony, classroom strategies, and reflections from Blue Ink Tears, this episode centers literacy as a human experience before it becomes an academic one. When students are seen, heard, and affirmed, reading and writing transform from tasks into tools for expression, healing, and connection.

Hey Friends~   What if mouth breathing isn't just a habit… but a symptom? In today's episode, I'm joined by a guest who revealed something I hadn't fully understood in all my years in this field: crooked teeth, small jaws, restless behavior, trouble with focus, even lingering speech sound errors can ALL be connected to how well a child is BREATHING. You'll hear how an under-developed airway affects far more than speech and behavior. When a child is mouth breathing, they don't get  the deep, restorative sleep their growing brain desperately needs. And deep sleep and proper oxygenation, everything from attention to learning can suffer. And make sure you listen through to the end, as we have something special for you!! Podcast listeners get access to a free online airway evaluation - a simple way to find out whether breathing might be part of your child's (or your own) challenges.  Also, if you are from MN, WI, or IA, you have an exclusive discount for in-person clinic visits. So, if mouth breathing, snoring, focus struggles, or stubborn speech sound issues feel familiar… this might be the insight you've been missing. If you or your child snores, mouth breathes, struggles with focus, wrestles with behavior, or has speech sound challenges, this might be the missing piece you've been searching for.  There is help for adults, so the listener discounts and freebies work for YOU, too!  This episode might change everything for you and your child!!  Always cheering you on!  Dinalynn CONTACT the Host, Dinalynn:  hello@thelanguageofplay.com   ABOUT THE GUEST:   Dr. Ben Miraglia graduated from SUNY at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine in 1993.

In this juicy and transformational episode, Rina sits down with Darshana Avila, Erotic Wholeness Guide, to explore the one skill most people never learn but desperately need: how to receive.Together, they dive into why so many women (and men) struggle to take in the very things they say they want—pleasure, connection, intimacy, desire, emotional safety—and how cultural conditioning, nervous system patterns, and unspoken fears silently block us from receiving the love and pleasure we crave.You'll hear real examples, practical tools, and vulnerable stories about:– How people-pleasing kills desire– What resentment really reveals– Nervous system capacity & the body's role in pleasure– How to ask for what you want without shame– How to communicate desires, boundaries, and kinks with clarity and love– Why telling the truth is the gateway to deeper intimacyThis episode is an intimate map for anyone ready to open wider—to pleasure, to truth, to being seen, and to receiving fully.Perfect for listeners longing for more authentic relationships, deeper erotic fulfillment, or simply a more honest connection with themselves.Darshana Avila is a trauma-informed somatic educator, practitioner and international speaker who helps people reconnect with the most essential aspects of themselves — their truth, their desires, and their capacity for profound pleasure and power.

We're back with one of the most loved formats on Passionate & Prosperous: a real coaching session you get to listen in on and apply to your own business.In this episode, I'm coaching Caryn Bothman, a midlife coach and founder of Midlife Mama Co., who supports women navigating the transitions of midlife, empty nests, aging parents, and the “where did I go?” feeling that so many women have at this stage. Caryn is passionate about women's empowerment, personal development, and creating community through workshops, retreats, and in-person connection, but like many newer entrepreneurs, she's feeling the tension between all the things she could do and what will actually build a sustainable coaching business.We dig into where to focus first, how to think strategically about one-on-one coaching vs. group programs and workshops, and what it really takes to attract clients when you don't have a big audience yet. We talk about audience growth, list-building, lead magnets, email marketing, social media, and personal outreach, and why repetition in your messaging is not only allowed, it's required.If you've ever wondered, “Should I be doing more on social? A group program? A workshop? Where do clients even come from?” this conversation is going to feel like sitting in on a private business and marketing strategy session for your own coaching practice.In this coaching session, we dive into:How to reverse engineer your business by starting with what you actually want (income, lifestyle, and how you like to work) and building your offer strategy from thereWhy it's usually smarter to focus on one-on-one coaching first before launching group programs, memberships, and paid workshopsThe real role of workshops, talks, and live events in a profitable coaching business (and why they often work best as visibility + client attraction tools more than primary revenue streams)How to think about audience growth, lead magnets, and email list growth so you have people to invite into your offersWhy only a small percentage of your social media followers ever see your posts—and what that means about being “redundant” with your content, invitations, and calls to actionThe power of personal outreach, DM voice notes, and actual conversations in signing clients (instead of hoping a post, funnel, or sales page does all the work)How to structure discovery calls, follow-ups, and intentional communication so you're not accidentally coaching for free and then leaving people to talk themselves out of getting supportIf you're a coach or service-based entrepreneur in the earlier stages of your business—especially if you love the idea of in-person workshops, retreats, and community experiences—this episode will help you see the order of operations that actually creates a steady, prosperous coaching business.You'll also hear us talk about what it looks like to build your “yellow brick road” of offers and touchpoints over time, so that everything you do—social media, email, workshops, personal outreach, and discovery calls—works together to attract, nurture, and convert the right clients in a grounded, human way.Get Full Show Notes, Event Sign Ups and More Information Here:http://www.staceybrassrussell.com/podcast

We love a villain story. But not the real kind. The kind where someone is pushed, dismissed, shamed, or bullied… and then punished for finally reacting.Inspired by Wicked, today's episode digs into how society—and sometimes our own families—create villains out of honest, hurting people. We talk about scapegoating, emotional abuse, groupthink, and why the person who speaks up or refuses to play along gets labeled “difficult” or “dangerous.”If you're returning home for the holidays and already bracing yourself for judgment, gaslighting, or silent side-eye, this one's for you. Because sometimes the real “wickedness” isn't who we become… it's what we're forced to survive.Let's talk about the truth behind the villain narrative.Join the Newsletter to stay up to date on: Tips, Workshops, podcasts, coaching, speaking events, merch release! https://birdbrainwellness.activehosted.com/f/1limited 1:1 coaching spots available before the year ends: https://bit.ly/birdbrainwellness

Wake Up & Dance with Swara Nanda On this episode of the Make Mental Health Matter Show host Kelli Melissa Reinhardt has special guest Swara Nanda. Little bit about Swara's story from her:  After losing the father of my only child to suicide on Valentine's Day 2018, and the 44 months of estrangement that followed with my daughter, I'm here to share a story of finding inner freedom. While my daughter and I are slowly finding our way back to connection with the help of professional therapy, what's been most healing for me is Wake-Up! & Dance. This simple practice of somatic movement and stillness meditation has helped me survive, heal, and reconnect to my truest self —and it's something anyone can do, no matter their body or limitations. Short bio: After leaving a promising career in the music industry, in the early 90's Swara began her journey as a practicing yogi, studying theology and sociology with a variety of different meditation teachers and spiritual gurus. Over the course of 30 years, Swara has accumulated well over 10,000 hours of meditation practice and has dedicated her musical talents to writing music for sound healing, spiritual transformation and guided group meditations. Over time, Swara has developed ways to pass on unique spiritual practices based on years of study, group facilitation, devotional service and meditation. Swara is an ordained Minister and offers Wake-Up! & Dance online, and in-person Meditation Retreats and Workshops.

Industry associations are promising bright days ahead, while member breweries are not so sure.Tired promotions and liquid social posts aren't going to save craft.

Hey Friends~  Recently, I got a written message from a listener who wrote, ‘My husband is Serbian and speaks Serbian to our son. I speak English, but I don't speak Serbian well. Our little one is just 17 months and very vocal — but in my expat group, parents worry their bilingual kids might be confused. How young is too young for two languages? And how old is too old for 2 languages?”  It's such a good question — and one that so many families wonder about. In this episode, we'll look at how babies process two languages, the benefits, milestones, red flags, and what you can do - all geared for the multilingual home.    If you would like to send your question, you can email me at hello@thelanguageofplay.com or Leave a voice message here:  https://castfeedback.com/play .   I may just highlight your question on the show!  And remember, when you have the question, it means hundreds of other listeners have the same question, too!  You will help many by asking.  Always cheering you on!  Dinalynn CONTACT the Host, Dinalynn:  hello@thelanguageofplay.com   A BIG THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSOR!   Cindy Howard  Lightening Admin VA   cindy@lightningadminva.com Let Cindy help you with your inbox management, so you can focus on other things!   YOUR NEXT STEPS: Book a call to discuss your concerns:  https://calendly.com/hello-play/strategy-session FREEBIES:    5 Ways To Get Your Kids To Listen Better: https://dinalynnr.systeme.io/7ca5ce43-d436ea91 Sign up for the Newsletter:  https://dinalynnr.systeme.io/newsletter-optin 21 Days of Encouragement:  https://dinalynnr.systeme.io/1-21signup   For Workshops, Speaking Events, or Partnerships:  https://calendly.com/hello-play/discovery-session ** For Speaking Engagements, Workshops, or Parent Coaching (virtual or live), contact me at hello@thelanguageofplay.com   IF YOU LIKED THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL WANT TO LISTEN TO THESE EPISODES: 07 How Language is Learned in a Dual Language Home 08 Bilingual Kids and Speaking Delays in Multi-Language Households 38 Cheyanne Cleyman: Dual-Language Living Across Cultures in a Step Family, part 1 39 Cheyanne Cleyman: Dual-Language Living Across Cultures in a Step Family, part 2 220 What Does “A Language Rich Environment” Really Mean? 224 Did Your Child Babble?

Hannah Lux is a powerhouse music video and commercial director who's created iconic visuals for Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, Katy Perry, Doja Cat, Nicki Minaj, and Lil Wayne. But her path to the director's chair wasn't traditional. Hannah shares her 20-plus-year journey in LA—from working as a makeup artist on set to directing Lil Wayne, Drake, and Future on "Love Me," which now has over 620 million views. We dive deep into the making of Ariana Grande's "Thank U, Next," the video that broke YouTube records with 50 million views in 24 hours, and how she navigated legal clearances, celebrity cameos, and a three-day shoot while pregnant. We also talk about why communication and people management are often harder than the creative work, how to balance an artist's brand with your own vision, and what it takes to be a consistently working director.   xx CG AOP SUBSTACK

Hey Friends~  Today is the next in the SERIES: Speech & Language Delays, and  we're diving into therapy and intervention options for parents - and looking closely at two main groups of kids. 1) The first group includes children who have been tested and qualify for speech therapy, but the help available just doesn't feel like enough. and 2) The second group is often the largest - and sometimes the most frustrated. Maybe your child was tested but didn't score low enough to qualify, or maybe you've never pursued testing, yet you know they're struggling. You might be homeschooling, caring for a very young child, or waiting because others have said, “Let's just give it time,” yet, deep down, you feel something more is needed.  If that resonates with you, you're not alone, this episode is here to guide and encourage you. For parents in both groups, we'll explore 6 practical, parent-led approaches to help your child make real progress, whether you're working alongside a therapist or leading the learning yourself. I'm so glad you're here!
