What happens when life takes everything from you—and you're forced to decide who you become next?In this deeply moving conversation, Mark Divine sits down with Cody Lakefield, co-founder of Long Ship Men and Look Health, to explore the intersection of trauma, healing, proactive health, brotherhood, and purpose.Cody shares his journey through profound personal loss, responsibility, and suffering—and how those experiences led him to build systems that help men reclaim ownership of their health, their inner lives, and their relationships with other men.From personalized biomarker testing and preventative health… to grief, PTSD, faith, and the power of men rowing together… this episode is about moving from survival to meaning.If you're a leader, father, entrepreneur, or man navigating pressure in silence, this conversation offers a different path forward—one rooted in awareness, courage, and community.In this episode, you'll discover:Why proactive health matters more than “sick care”How understanding biomarkers gives you agency over your bodyWhy trauma doesn't resolve itself through willpower aloneThe danger of carrying everything in isolationHow brotherhood accelerates healing and resilienceWhy purpose is often forged through suffering, not comfortHow to move from surviving life to living it intentionallyJoin The Unbeatable Leader Challenge - January 13thThe Unbeatable Leader Challenge is back starting January 13th, this time we're making it FREE to join on this training.

The holidays can be joyful… and also a lot—especially if you're introverted, neurodivergent, parenting a neurodivergent kid, or trying to manage family expectations without burning out.In this episode, we share the holiday traditions that actually work for their family—and the boundaries that make those traditions possible. We talk about front-loading expectations, time boundaries, demand avoidance, and why it's okay to let other people have their feelings when you don't meet their expectations. You'll also hear practical strategies for navigating social events (without forcing yourself or your child to “perform”), plus a few favorite holiday rituals—from cookie baking to Christmas Eve dinner to a Christmas Day zoo trip.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by holiday gatherings, unsure how to set boundaries with family, or stuck between “being flexible” and “protecting your nervous system,” this conversation will help.In this episode: • Holiday boundaries for introverts and neurodivergent families • Why time limits reduce anxiety (and increase participation) • Setting expectations with relatives ahead of gatherings • Demand avoidance, sensory overwhelm, and holiday rituals • How to navigate parties with roles, structure, and exit plans • Letting people be disappointed (without taking it on) Hosted on Acast.

In this Healthy Waves episode, Avik Chakraborty sits down with Anjuly Rudolph to cut through the noise around yoga. They unpack why yoga is not just poses or flexibility goals, and how the original purpose is mind training, nervous system regulation, and emotional balance. Anjuly breaks down what gets lost in modern “fitness-only” yoga culture, shares beginner-friendly entry points for busy people, and explains why breathwork, grounding, and proper relaxation are non negotiable if you want results that actually stick. Expect practical, at-home micro habits you can run for 7 to 14 days to feel a real shift in stress, sleep, and energy. About the Guest: Anjuly Rudolph is a transformational catalyst blending yoga, hypnosis, energy healing, and coaching. Raised with deep yogic roots in an Indian family, she has carried this work across Uganda, Burundi, Syria, Tunisia, and Germany. She also trains yoga teachers in Germany and focuses on making yoga practical, grounded, and culturally respectful. Key Takeaways: Yoga is a full system for mind and energy, not just stretching or fitness. Asanas are only one small part of yoga. The bigger goal is calming mental fluctuations. A beginner does not need flexibility. Lack of flexibility is often the reason to start gently. Simple joint movements can be a low-barrier daily practice for mobility and stress release. Breath awareness is a fast lever for shifting your nervous system state. Grounding at the start of practice helps you actually “arrive” in your body. Final relaxation matters. Skipping it breaks the system and reduces benefits. Yoga Nidra is not the same as lying down quietly. It is a structured practice. Yoga supports emotional processing even when you cannot clearly name the emotion. A practical 14-day test: 2 minutes of conscious breathing morning and night, plus joint movement before sleep.

Self discipline is the only way to form new habits and achieve new goals. Keeping your word with yourself is the first step towards being able to keep your word with others. Many times we can get swept away by the daily struggle and days, weeks, months can go by in between steps towards progress. Meditation can help form new patterns of behavior, to break free of unproductive thoughts and habits. One breath at a time.

One of the aspects of food recovery I wished that I had greater guidance around (and had to learn for myself) was discovering how to listen to my body.  Even within different food recovery approaches, there are still all of these rules about what to eat to "prove" recovery or what to do to ensure recovery. I've seen more confusion over the years about what will or will not lead toward a decrease in food coping mechanisms because there is still this idea that there is a right way and a wrong way to recover. When embodiment increases, food behaviors can decrease. When you can hear, understand, and interpret your body's feedback, food impulses don't have to feel so scary to experience anymore because you get what your body is trying to relay. It was the practice of yoga that taught me how to get into my body. In this week's episode, I chat with Jeanie Manchester, founder of Anjaneya Yoga Shala, Master Yoga and Meditation Instructor, about: The impact of doubt on self perceptionBeing guided by your inner voiceHow we are shaped by our life experiencesListening to body wisdomThe connection between lineage and personal identityEmbracing ourselvesAnd so much more! You can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/the-power-of-finding-and-trusting-your-inner-voiceWishing you a restful, easy holiday week and see you all next week! With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Jeanie: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jeanie.manchester/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yoginijeanie/Website: https://www.jeaniemanchester.com/Support the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.benso...

The 5D Academy with Zarathustra explores universal wisdom to foster total freedom from suffering in all areas of your life; health, wealth, love, and self.Each Academy podcast contains valuable insights and takeaways to become the best version of yourself and create an authentic, fulfilling life. Zarathustra transmits 5th Dimensional Quantum frequencies in each episode with transformational tools while discussing different topics to help you maintain this new frequency in your daily life.Zarathustra has created a practical system of transmitting the truth to his audience allowing transformation and freedom from suffering. Spiritual development requires an open heart. It is virtually impossible for a seeker to advance to higher consciousness if they don't love themselves. The belief system which has been ingrained in our cellular memory from childhood that we are not good enough results in a conditioned mind. The conditioned mind holds the false belief that there is something missing in our lives, that we are incomplete, that we need to gain something in order to become happy and whole, which is not true. After a life time of searching, Zarathustra has blended a practical system of Eastern and Western methods and techniques to help the Academy members to free themselves from anxiety, negative thoughts, lack of self-love and self-acceptance and destructive emotional patterns through a systematic way to raise your vibration to 5D Vibrational Frequency, which enables you to live a vibrant life of freedom and happiness.The Key Elements To Freedom:Zarathustra recognizes continuity and consistency are the key elements to freedom. In order to help you achieve your spiritual goals, it's best to have a highly effective spiritual practice, free of dogmas, false beliefs and superstition that helps you raise your vibration to 5D Vibrational Frequency as well as the ability to maintain this newly found higher level of consciousness. This translates to a life filled with inner peace, self-love and happiness which is the goal of every spiritual seeker.New knowledge and benefits are gained with each replay.

When we are overcome with emotion it is very easy to lose sight of the fact that the pain is temporary but if we can learn that our pain and emotions come and go in waves, perhaps we can gain some mindfulness and perspective as we experience those things in the moment. This meditation aims to help the meditator remember to ride the wave of the present moment.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about the idea that “Everything old is new again” and why that feels especially true for me as we head into 2026.I share where this phrase originally comes from and how it still shows up all around us, from old-fashioned baby names and vinyl records - to the way trends, styles, and even problems seem to circle back to current times but with a fresh twist.I explore how revisiting the past with new eyes, context, and appreciation can be such a powerful source of inspiration, creativity, and healing.I also let you in on something new-old in my own life that I'm wicked excited about… I'm returning to having my own space again in Concord, New Hampshire! YAY!After years of focusing more on Spiritual Mentoring and Integrative Coaching, I'm boomeranging back in an even bigger way to my longtime roots in Yoga and Thai Yoga bodywork / Assisted Stretching.I talk about how good it feels to create a warm, welcoming space again and to reconnect with the practices that have sustained me for decades - only now with deeper awareness, devotion, and purpose. From there, I dive into rituals, lineage, and devotion, (and share a story about my Nana) and how those old ways are a part of what I'm longing for more of now: slowness, intention, safety, and human connection - in a world that's so busy-pants fast, digital, and often disconnected.I name what I'm craving (and what I suspect a lot of us are craving) heading into the new year: small, cozy rooms, micro-communities, calm, authentic leadership, embodiment over performance, and spaces where people know your name. (NORM!

As we close out the year, how do we, as yoga teachers, gauge our progress? How can we assess our success? Today, host Rachel and returning guest Elena Cheung share their answers to these questions. We discuss why one-dimensional metrics like ratings, reviews, student numbers, online likes, and follows are so appealing, as well as the complexities of teaching that they fail to capture. Listen to this episode to learn how to balance your interests and values with the needs of your students, and how to meaningfully reflect on your work as a yoga teacher. — Show Notes: Complexities that ratings & reviews don't express [3:32] From "teacher knows best" to "the customer is always right"?

In this episode of the Kriya Yoga Podcast, Ryan Kurczak explores the essence of yoga as the practice of Samadhi—a theme that will guide all classes, retreats, and offerings throughout 2026 as we celebrate a “Year of Samadhi.” Ryan shares upcoming opportunities for study and practice, including a monthly Patreon series on the preparatory processes in the Yoga Sutras, a six-week Samadhi Yoga Book Study Group, and a June Solstice retreat at the Himalayan Institute. Drawing from Vyāsa's powerful statement that “Yoga is Samadhi,” Ryan walks listeners through the foundational principles that make Samadhi both the heart of yoga and an attainable experience for sincere practitioners. He highlights the importance of daily meditation, present-moment awareness, sattvic living, and Patanjali's contemplations in Sutras 1.33–1.39 as essential tools for cultivating a serene, one-pointed mind. This episode offers inspiration, structure, and clarity for anyone committed to developing a direct, meaningful experience of Samadhi. -

Yoga isn't about flexibility, it's about function.In this episode, I sit down with Gail Beacham, yoga teacher and CBT therapist, to talk about simple movement practices that actually help real people.From chair yoga to fascia, grounding to balance, we unpack:Why most people give up on exerciseHow small daily movements create big changesWhy stiffness isn't a life sentenceAnd how reconnecting with your body can change how you feel day to dayThis one's for farmers, builders, desk workers, busy parents, anyone who wants to move better and feel better, without the pressure.

What stage are you in right now? What stage is this in the story of you,in the story of your unfoldment?Can you kiss it, the way God is kissing you?Can you look at it, the way God sees it? You have to keep discriminating between the real and the unreal.This, that you find yourself in was not sent to hurt you.It was sent to heal you.It was sent to help 'you' find 'You'.Relax more. Soften, even more.That's how you kiss the stage.That's how you allow the stage to make room for the next.In this relaxation,in this step back, this step away from the one you thought you were,"right action arises by itself."*Miracles, find you. Hafiz says, "I don't want to step so quickly over this sacred place on God's body. That is right beneath your own foot."Slow down. Bow down. I Love YouI Am Younik Support the show:▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings__________________________________________Today's Quotes: *Lao Tzu "The deeper meaning of "name" is a reference to Cosmic Vibration (the Word, Aum, Amen. God as Spirit has no circumscribing name.Whether one refers to the Absolute as God or Iehovah or Brahman or Allah, that does not express Him. God the Creator and Father of all vibrates through nature as the eternal life, and that life has the sound of the great Amen or Aum. That name most accurately defines God."Those who believe on his name" means those who commune with that Aum sound, the voice of God in the Holy Ghost vibration. When one hears that name of God, that Cosmic Vibration, he is on his way to becoming a son of God, for in that sound his consciousness touches the immanent Christ Consciousness, which will introduce him to God, Cosmic Consciousness." - Yogananda, The Yoga of Jesus"A man sees a thing in one way through reasoning and in an altogether different way when God Himself shows it to him."-Bhagawan Sri Ramakrishna"Discouragement is not from God." - St. Ignatius of Loyola"You don't criticize the moon for not shining the same each nightyou don'tlook up at it and sayyou're not trying hard enoughbecause the moon doesn't have to be full and brightevery night to be lovedand neither do you." -Ida Banks"Let the mess inside your head settle. breathe. it's going to be okay." -Shweta"A mind that is fast is sick. A mind that is slow is sound. A mind that is still is Divine." -Sri Meher Baba"I do notWant to step so quicklyOver this sacred place on God's bodyThat is right beneath yourOwn footAs IDance withPrecious lifeToday." - Hafiz (translated by Ladinski)"READ THE GOSPEL ATTENTIVELY AND YOU WILL SEE THAT JESUS SACRIFICED EVEN CHARITY FOR PRAYER. AND DO YOU KNOW WHY? TO TEACH US THAT, WITHOUT GOD, WE ARE TOO POOR TO HELP THE POOR.ST. TERESA OF CALCUTTA"There really was such a thing as sickness, then there would have to be a lot of fighting to become healed. But since sickness doesn't really exist, by giving this up, by surrendering this feeling, this thought that there is sickness or lack or limitation or anything else, the One Power, the One Perfection, the One God, the One Reality, the One Pure Awareness shines through, and takes over, and you are made Whole." - Robert Adams

As the year winds down, we're reflecting on the real gifts yoga has given us—beyond poses and flexibility. In this conversation, we talk about pranayama and nervous-system regulation (including HRV), learning acceptance as our bodies age, how yoga builds discernment around recovery, and what we're grateful for (including health, community, and the unexpected growth that comes from changing course as parents and professionals).If you're navigating stress, pain, aging, burnout, or a shifting relationship with practice, this episode is an honest look at what yoga can offer for the long haul—and what we're ready to let go of as we head into a new year.

What does it mean to choose wisely? Which kinds of values support this? To what extent are they related to ethics? How similar are Indian traditions to modern ideas about what to prioritise? Might teachings need reframing to speak to us clearly?Simon Haas presents ancient wisdom for everyday life. He is the author of The Book of Dharma – subtitled “Making Enlightened Choices” – and Yoga and the Dark Night of the Soul, which draws on ideas from the Bhagavad Gītā. He's also spoken on these topics at the United Nations, and offers a wide range of workshops and seminars.Together, we discuss what he calls the Dharma Code, a framework of principles informing wise conduct. These overlap with ethical precepts, and help people fulfil their potential. We nonetheless reflect on drawbacks to expecting any system to have all the answers, since it's helpful to find one's own way.Although Simon is adept at making subjects accessible, he is also a scholar with an Oxford PhD – you can find out more about his research here.

Many homebuyers stretch and twist themselves into painful positions trying to save 20% down — and listing agents often (incorrectly) view down payment size as a measure of a buyer's qualification. In this episode, Louis Chinappi of Arch MI explains why low-down payment loans with private mortgage insurance (PMI) can be a smart homebuying strategy.  Louis breaks down what mortgage insurance really is, how PMI pricing works, and how homebuyers can balance cash on hand vs. monthly payment to improve affordability and opportunity cost.  We discuss how MI can be a tool to help balance the scale of monthly payment vs. available cash — keeping reserves to strengthen offers, cover appraisal gaps, or handle renovations and repairs. If you think PMI is a deal-breaker, this episode may change your mind.

Is it possible to escape the cycle of desire that keeps us bound? In this episode, Thom explores the subtle mechanics of kaṛma and the paradox of fulfillment, blending ancient wisdom with contemporary dilemmas. Move beyond the myth of desire-free enlightenment and discover the true role desires play in moving us, often mysteriously, right where we need to be. Prepare to step into a new understanding of fulfillment, agency, and the playful nature of wants.Episode Highlights[00:45] Kaṛma: Action that Binds[03:30] The Danger Zone[06:44] Kṛiya: Action that Doesn't Bind[09:33] The Power of a Pink Shirt[13:13] A Literal Bucket List[15:48] The Desirability of a Desire-free State[18:42] Q - Does attachment to the desire for enlightenment keep you bound?[18:50] A - The Hypnosis of Social Conditioning[21:37] Enlightenment's an Acquisition[24:38] Desires Just Move Me AroundUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/
