About Sound Insight

Welcome to Sound Insight, the podcast that explores our complex relationship with work and life. I'm your host, Cathy Jacob. For 20 years, I've coached executives, professionals, entrepreneurs, and creators to do the work they love without sacrificing the rest of their lives in the process. For inspiration in an earbud, each episode will challenge your thinking, expand your perspective and offer practical strategies to take you from tired to inspired. For a written adaptation of each episode, visit my blog at cathyjacob.com/blog. You'll find a transcript of the episode plus more articles, recommendations, and practices on the topics I cover here.

episode Threshold: A New Series to Celebrate National Poetry Month artwork

Threshold: A New Series to Celebrate National Poetry Month

In honour of National Poetry Month (and a recently fractured collar bone) I'm practicing "less is more" this month. And nothing illustrates that more perfectly than poetry. In April, Sound Insight will feature a series of three reflections, each accompanied by one of my poems. This week's poem is Threshold. We tend to think of thresholds as lines to cross, doorways to enter, or edges from which we leap. If we are held there longer than we want to be, we become impatient, agitated, or even despondent. We rarely consider the value in the threshold itself. This poem was written during one of those difficult threshold seasons, April 2020, our first COVID-19 lockdown. You can find a full transcript of this episode that includes an inquiry to support your practice by subscribing to my newsletter, The Slow Sip on Substack. [https://cathyjacob.substack.com/] The Slow Sip will introduce you to a world where less is more, slow is fast, failure is funny, and relief is just one slow sip away.

[Best of] Small Decisions for a Big Life

A Simple Way to Make Everyday Choices that Matter. Over the sweep of a life, it is the tiny, seemingly insignificant decisions we make every day that can make the biggest difference. On their own, they don't seem to matter much, but as they accumulate over time, they can make the difference between a rich and fulfilling life or one filled with regret. In this episode, I share a simple approach for recognizing and making the tiny decisions that matter. Small Decisions for a Big Life first aired in Season 2. In season 5, I'll be bringing back some of Sound Insight's most popular and favorite episodes. If you'd like a transcript of this episode plus much, much more, check out my newsletter, The Slow Sip on Substack.

Can You Find The Stillness Beneath the Storm

Welcome to Season 5 of Sound Insight. In episode 1, I share a simple reflection and a personal story to inspire and offer encouragement in a turbulent time. Return is a personal ritual of recovery and re-alignment of our body, mind, heart, and spirit. It is a return to the fundamentals that anchor us. When our lives become stormy and chaotic, return is how we remain grounded and whole. It is a gesture of coming home to yourself. Returning again and again to that inner sanctuary that is always waiting for you. In season 5, I will dive into the theme of return and its practices more deeply, but to begin, I invite you to take a long slow breath, listen, and enjoy. Here's where you can find more. If you'd like a transcript of this episode plus a more detailed overview of what is coming in Season 5, you can find it here.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
