    5 Key Takeaways

    1. Cultivate awareness through movement. Somatic practices can help uncover subconscious patterns and increase intuition. Try incorporating mindful movement or body-based practices into your routine.

    2. Seek balance between catharsis and integration. While intense experiences can be transformative, sustainable growth requires ongoing integration. Look for ways to process and apply insights from peak experiences in daily life.

    3. Explore elderhood as a journey, not just an age. Regardless of your years, consider how you can cultivate wisdom and take on mentorship roles. Reflect on what you have to offer younger generations.

    4. Practice attunement to natural rhythms. Notice how aligning with cycles like sunrise and sunset affects your energy and awareness. Experiment with adjusting your schedule to sync with nature's patterns.

    5. Embrace the "Third Way" in relationships and decision-making. When faced with polarities, look for emergent solutions that honor multiple perspectives. Cultivate both personal sovereignty and collective responsibility.

    Tweetable Quotes"The body keeps the story. Even the brain - there's no hard drive in the head. They keep looking for the memories there. They're not going to find them. Because they're in the soft tissues. And they're actually in the space around us.""The Third Way speaks to what's emergent. We always want to honor tradition, but tradition has also failed. We have to be real about that. These new traditions that will be born will be a third way between the human being suspended between the cosmos and land.""I've changed my mind about aging. I used to fear it, pulling out gray hairs and worrying about wrinkles. Now I'm savoring the age I'm at and have a beautiful curiosity about where it's going. I don't want to get old - I want to get elder."Connect with Hunter

    5 Key Takeaways

    1. Embrace creativity as a forgiving process. Even if you make mistakes or face setbacks, you can always return to your creative pursuits and learn from the experience.

    2. Explore different avenues to monetize your creative skills. Consider options like teaching, creating online courses, or licensing your work to diversify your income streams.

    3. When promoting podcast episodes, create short video clips highlighting key moments. Share these teasers across platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, and Pinterest to attract listeners.

    4. Use Pinterest as a long-lasting promotional tool for your podcast. Unlike other social platforms, Pinterest posts can drive traffic to your show for months after publishing.

    5. Experiment with different titles and descriptions for your podcast content across platforms. What works for audio may need tweaking for YouTube to improve discoverability and engagement.

    Tweetable Quotes"The thing about creativity is that it's very forgiving. It allows you to go back, and you're always learning something from whatever it's happened to you. So it's an encouraging thing to know that you can go back and it's still there for you.""My creativity isn't just something I do for a living. It's something I do to stay alive. It helps me keep my head on straight. It helps me solve problems.""We have such an epidemic of mental crisis in our world, and so much of that is because we don't pay attention to ourselves as much as we could or should. Creativity is free. It doesn't involve any medication, it doesn't involve trips to the doctor."Connect with Beth

    5 Key Takeaways

    1. Rebrand your podcast to better reflect its focus. Consider changing "Just Talk with Justine" to something like "Survivors and Thrivers: Living Your Best Life" to clearly communicate the show's purpose and attract your target audience.

    2. Create a simple website using a tool like PodPage. Connect it to your RSS feed so new episodes automatically generate blog posts, giving you an easy-to-maintain online presence.

    3. Develop a "dream 100" list of potential guests whose stories of surviving and thriving you'd love to feature. Use this as motivation and a guide for growing your show.

    4. Improve your guest follow-up process. After publishing an episode, send your guest a package with links to the episode, social media copy, and graphics they can use to promote their appearance.

    5. Focus on creating a safe space for guests to share vulnerable stories. Practice active listening, allow for pauses and silence, and remember there are three people in each conversation - you, your guest, and the listener.

    Tweetable Quotes"I view life as live life like you're dying. If I want to jump out of that airplane, I better do it. You're going to go one day, so it all depends on how you go. I want to just live like I'm dying.""My goal is to make them feel at ease. I don't want anybody to feel nervous talking about personal stuff like their breasts are gone and they've got tattoos on their nipples. That's a hard thing to talk about sometimes.""I'm a four time cancer survivor, so I know when I was going through all that, I didn't have somebody to chat with. Now with the camaraderie of my team, that has really helped me step out of my comfort zone and speak to others about their journeys."Connect with Justine
