===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for December 5th Publish Date:  December 5th    Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Friday, December 5th and Happy Birthday to Walt Disney I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Daniel Gaddis elected to Marietta City Council Proposed Atlanta Road apartments delayed amid safety, school capacity concerns Honorees announced for 41st annual Tribute to Women of Achievement Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on carrots All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: INGLES 4 STORY 1: Daniel Gaddis elected to Marietta City Council City planner Daniel Gaddis clinched the Ward 3 Marietta City Council seat Tuesday night, defeating life coach Nora Gaudet in the runoff election. With all precincts reporting, Gaddis secured 698 votes (64.15%) to Gaudet’s 390 (35.85%). The results will be certified Dec. 8. “It’s been a long road, but we worked hard and had incredible support,” Gaddis said, reflecting on a campaign that reached over 3,500 voters. Still, he admitted the race wasn’t without challenges, particularly the push to label him politically. “Parks, sidewalks, public safety—these aren’t partisan issues,” he said. Gaudet, who moved to Georgia five years ago, acknowledged the uphill battle of being a “wild card” candidate. “I didn’t have deep connections here,” she said, adding that campaigning through the holidays was exhausting. “People are tired by a runoff—they just want it over.” Both candidates highlighted inequities in Marietta, from neglected neighborhoods to housing affordability. Gaddis spoke of the need to preserve Marietta’s charm while addressing real issues like homelessness and unsafe streets. Gaudet, meanwhile, emphasized the voices of overlooked residents. “We’ve done great work,” Gaudet said. “And I hope those quiet voices finally get heard.” STORY 2: Proposed Atlanta Road apartments delayed amid safety, school capacity concerns  After hearing concerns about traffic and overcrowding, the Cobb County Planning Commission hit pause Tuesday on a proposed 249-unit apartment complex at Atlanta Road and I-285. The decision? Delayed until February. Flournoy Development Group wants to rezone 3.79 acres to build the rental apartments—mostly one-bedrooms—but the project’s sparked pushback. Locals worry about traffic, U-turn safety, and overcrowding at Nickajack Elementary, which is already 269 students over capacity. Attorney Kevin Moore, representing Flournoy, said the plan has been revised: fewer units (down from 274), shorter building height along Atlanta Road, and a parking deck tucked into the five-story section near the interstate. But traffic remains a sticking point. Residents like Nat Milburn, from Olde Ivy at Vinings, raised alarms about U-turns, claiming the project could add 500 daily U-turns and spike accidents by 800%. Moore dismissed the data as “opinion,” but Planning Chair Nadia Faucette wasn’t sold. “I’m for the project, but safety’s a big concern,” she said. The commission will revisit the case Feb. 3, giving Flournoy time to address traffic, signage, and other community concerns. STORY 3: Honorees announced for 41st annual Tribute to Women of Achievement  LiveSafe Resources, a Marietta-based shelter for domestic violence survivors, has revealed the honorees for its 41st annual Tribute to Women of Achievement. Every year, the organization celebrates 15 women who’ve made waves—personally, professionally, and through volunteer work. One will be crowned 2026 Woman of the Year at the awards gala on March 20 at the Atlanta Marriott Northwest. This year’s honorees include leaders like Cobb Solicitor General Makia Metzger, Braves exec DeRetta Rhodes, and Judge Jaret Usher. The gala will feature dinner, auctions, and awards like the Pat Head Dignity Award for public safety and the Kim Gresh Survivor’s Award, honoring a survivor whose story inspires.

Break: INGLES 4 STORY 4: Carlyle Kent reelected to Marietta City Council  Councilman Carlyle Kent is staying put in Ward 5, clinching reelection with a commanding 80.49% of the vote over challenger and former Councilman Reggie Copeland, who pulled in just 19.51%. Unofficial results show Kent received 495 votes to Copeland’s 120, with all precincts reporting. The results will be certified Dec. 8. This race felt like déjà vu—Kent unseated Copeland back in 2021. “My neighbors pushed me to run four years ago because they felt the ward wasn’t being represented well,” Kent said Tuesday, surrounded by family, friends, and supporters who cheered as the final numbers came in. Kent credited his team’s hard work—canvassing, phone banking, and connecting with newly redistricted voters—for the win. “I’m always optimistic, but it’s humbling to see that support,” he said, adding, “I give thanks to the Lord for putting the right people in my life.” Looking ahead, Kent said his focus remains on improving Ward 5. “I want to leave it better than I found it.” STORY 5: Wheeler to host big-name programs in Tournament of Champions SPORTS UPDATE Wheeler’s boys basketball team will host the Tournament of Champions Holiday Classic on Saturday, featuring 16 top teams from Georgia and beyond. Games start at 10 a.m. and run every 90 minutes, with $22 tickets covering all eight matchups. Highlights include Kell, led by BJ Love and Kamari Kilgore, facing Meadowcreek at 11:30 a.m., and Wheeler, ranked No. 1 in Georgia and No. 4 nationally, taking on Nevada’s Coronado at 8:30 p.m. Wheeler boasts five Division I recruits, including Colben Landrew (UConn) and Amare James (Clemson). Coronado’s Munir Greig, Nevada’s top player, will also take the court. SOCCER: The U.S. Men’s National Team will face top-tier competition in its final pre-World Cup tune-ups, with Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium hosting two marquee matchups. On March 28, the U.S. takes on No. 8 Belgium at 3:30 p.m., followed by a clash with No. 6 Portugal on March 31 at 7 p.m. Both games will air on TNT, HBO Max, and more. As the new home of U.S. Soccer, Atlanta gets the spotlight, offering fans a front-row seat to world-class soccer as the team preps for the 2026 World Cup on home soil.

Why do leaders jump so quickly to giving advice? And why does it so often backfire? In this episode, Michael Bungay Stanier explains why the “advice monster” is one of our biggest leadership liabilities—and how seven simple questions can help you listen better, coach smarter, and build stronger connections. Filled with humor, story, empathy, and practical scripts, this episode is a masterclass in everyday leadership.Memorable Quotes“When you ask a question and they actually have to think about it, you're literally creating new neural pathways in their brain—or at least they're creating their own neural pathways—so they're literally becoming smarter right in front of you.”“More deeply than an ‘answer,' much of the time people want to feel deeply heard, deeply seen, and deeply encouraged. And your ‘answer' often means they feel less seen, less heard, and less encouraged.”“One of the great moments of claiming adulthood is being clear on what you want to say ‘yes' to—and knowing that inevitably you have to say ‘no' to things to get that.”“Every time you jump in with your ideas and your opinions and your advice—particularly if it's your default reaction—you're basically reinforcing, ‘I'm better than you are. I'm smarter and wiser and older and faster and just generally better than you. You are not as good as I am.' There's a degree to which you're diminishing that other person rather than helping them.”“There's a time and a place where [giving advice] is the right thing to be doing. The way I define coaching is: Can you stay curious a little bit longer? Can you rush to action and advice-giving a little bit more slowly?”“One of the phrases I've started saying to people who are going through a tough time is simply, ‘I'm Team Michael. I'm Team Megan.…I'm Team whoever that person might be.' It's my way of saying, ‘I love you and I want the best for you, and I don't even know what to do—or I can't think of anything to do—so I'm just trying to be with you in this moment.'”“One of the questions that I've found most helpful—particularly if I'm the more senior person in the relationship—is: ‘What needs to be said that hasn't yet been said?'”Key TakeawaysThe “Advice Monster” Is Real. Our instinct to help by offering answers often diminishes others. Curiosity, not certainty, is what truly empowers people.Questions Create Ownership. When people generate their own ideas, they're more confident, more committed, and more capable.Seven Questions Change Everything. Michael's practical framework gives you a simple playbook for better conversations. His personal favorite? “And what else?”Curiosity Deepens Every Relationship. Parents, partners, bosses—everyone benefits when you resist the urge to fix and choose to listen instead.Better Conversations Start With Permission. Rather than assume what someone needs, lead with humility and ask: How can I be most useful here?Coaching Is for Everyday Life. You don't have to be a professional coach for this to matter. These tools transform team meetings, parenting moments, and even difficult conversations at home.ResourcesThe Coaching Habit by Michael Bungay StanierThe Advice Trap by Michael Bungay StanierHow to Work With (Almost) Anyone by Michael Bungay StanierBox of Crayons (Curiosity-driven leadership program)Watch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/WOjq8aMbr5kThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

You might be ending the year thinking “this did not go how I hoped.” In this solo episode, I talk about the pressure that comes with the holiday countdown, the noise of everyone's highlight reels, and the moment you realize your goals didn't quite match the reality you lived.We break down why not hitting your goals doesn't mean you failed. More often, it points to the season you were in, what you had the capacity for, and whether the structure around you actually supported the things you were trying to do.I walk you through ten shifts that help you look at your year with more honesty and less self-criticism. We talk about what truly happened this season, how to make your goals fit your actual life, and how to recognize progress that doesn't show up in photos or personal records.You'll also hear why perfection can't be the expectation, why you're not starting over, and what it looks like to train like the version of yourself you're becoming instead of waiting for the perfect stretch of time to feel motivated.Are you feeling behind or discouraged as the year wraps up? This episode is a real conversation to help you step into next season with more steadiness, compassion, and self-trust. Tune in.What's Discussed:(00:55) Why end-of-year pressure and goal season hit so hard(01:25) When your goals don't match your reality and what that actually says about you(02:58) The 10 shifts that help you make progress and move forward(11:11) How support, structure, and honest guidance stop the endless “start over” cycle(12:09) The perspective you might need right nowThank You to Our Sponsors:Timeline: Get you free 3-day trial of Mitopure gummies.

What if the most important decision you ever made was trusting someone who saw your potential before you fully saw it yourself? In this episode, Morgan Nichols, CEO of Life Branch Wealth Partners and financial advisor, shares her journey from a 25-year-old in corporate finance loading up a U-Haul and driving cross-country to lead a financial advisory practice in Texas. As the first born of two financial advisors, Morgan was "destined" for this work, but it was her father-in-law Gary's belief in her potential that gave her the springboard to build a multi-state practice with offices in three states and serve four generations of the same family. From working in a male-dominated sales environment where she was the youngest person on the desk to becoming CEO and co-authoring "Intentional Legacy" with partner Kelly Base, Morgan's story reveals the power of relationships that see who you can become. Through fertility challenges overcome with the help of two incredible doctors, she now wakes up every morning with her three-year-old daughter as her "why," a constant reminder that we get one shot at this life, so we might as well make it as intentional and impactful as possible. Morgan shares why achievement without purpose left her asking "why do we work so hard?", how opposite strengths with the right partner create relationship gold, and why showing up with gratitude and goodness puts us on the right foot to make million-dollar impacts we might never even see coming.   [00:05:20] What Morgan Does: Financial Advisor with a Different Approach Financial advisor and CEO of Life Branch Wealth Partners Careful to define "financial advisor" - not just transactional relationships Works with clients covering all areas of financial lives Serves individuals, families with larger portfolios, and small business owners Helps clients navigate financial peace of mind [00:06:32] Leading a Multi-State Practice: Growth-Minded Excellence CEO of practice with offices in three states: Grapevine, Texas (Dallas-Fort Worth area) Harrisonburg, Virginia Chicagoland area, Illinois Loves learning about industry changes and simplifying for clients Leads a team, trains younger advisors Works with well-seasoned advisors, sharing perspectives Building a team focused on making a difference in the lives of others [00:07:45] Destined for This Work: The Apple Didn't Fall Far First born of two financial advisors After college, took a job in Boston in wholesaling, corporate finance Enjoyed opportunities and learning ground Recognized that for some people, personal finance makes their eyes glaze over; they just want to delegate it [00:09:18] Most Impactful Result: Four Generations of One Family Works with four generations of one family Started with one generation in the middle: husband and wife in their 30s trying to raise children and manage life Over time, ended up working with the parents and grandparents Heartwarming to know the whole family line is seeing the benefit of planning [00:12:00] The Relationship That Changed Everything: Gary's Leap of Faith Father-in-law Gary is the advisor who gave her the career opportunity At 25, working in corporate finance in Boston, thought she was doing pretty good Had opportunity to leave Boston, load up U-Haul, drive across country Without that opportunity, she wouldn't have ability to springboard the way she is today Achievement is one of her core values, and this relationship helped her grow her career [00:16:34] Finding Relationship Gold: Kelly Base and Opposite Strengths Kelly Base is an advisor on her team Co-authored book "Intentional Legacy" together over the past year Met in 2023 through a women's entrepreneurial group Having more fun in their career than they ever could have imagined "We have to find people that compliment our strengths and can also speak truth in our lives so we can become the sharpest versions of ourselves and sharpen one another" [00:19:20] The Million-Dollar Question: Why Do We Work So Hard? Very driven, wired a certain way Can work all day, come home, be fulfilled in career When she really dove into her values, realized family really matters Area families don't always talk about: challenges with fertility, having a family Felt sharing her story was important so others can feel comfortable sharing theirs [00:20:00] The Gift of Life: Two Doctors and a Miracle Had two doctors in her life who navigated the challenge with her Journey from "we don't think you're gonna be able to have children" to having a beautiful daughter In the spirit of intention, being achievement-minded and a mom "I've got my work baby and my baby baby, and I'm always juggling their priorities" Doctors gave her the shot to pour into the next generation [00:22:20] Faith and Gratitude: The Foundation of Everything Faith is very important to her and aligns with her values Has achievement as a value Leans into her faith as she does her work and lives her personal life Hopes to continue making an impact in lives of others, personally and professionally [00:24:00] Giving Back: Grace and Growing Generosity Giving back in community is really important Supports Grace, a local charitable organization helping the underserved who need help As a business, able to support their endeavors and help those who need it most Giving back is ingrained in core values Wouldn't have a business if it weren't for relationship with Gary, or it wouldn't look the way it does today [00:30:17] Mentorship Matters: Female Advisors Pouring In Started career in sales environment that was probably 10% female Was the youngest person on the sales desk in downtown Boston Now advocates for young women starting in finance: "Go find mentors. You're not too young, don't hesitate. This is a great career and you can get so much out of those relationships" "You never even know where all of them are gonna lead, but they make such an impact" [00:32:05] Where to Find Morgan & The Intentional Legacy Website for book: intentionallegacybook.com Feedback: "This is something I wish I would've read 20, 30 years ago. I really want my children to read it" Personal website: lifebranchwealth.com Always glad to have a conversation with anyone   KEY QUOTES "We get one shot at this life, so we might as well make it as intentional, as and impactful as possible." - Morgan Nichols "I can't put a price tag on that...

Erika Elvander served her country as a federal career health diplomat for 27 years, including as the U.S. Health Attache in Beijing from the spring 2021 until the end of 2024. Her Asia passion ignited while a student in Hong Kong and traveler to Beijing in the late 1980s. And carried forward for the following decades. As Health Attache in Beijing during COVID, she witnessed China “digging in,” pursuing its 18 months of the fierce controls imposed under “static management.” "Achievements with China are incremental.” She was able to maintain dialogues with Chinese health officials, despite the fraught US-China relationship. Today, the COVID origins quagmire does persist and impede the U.S.-China relationship, six years after the advent of Covid. But “there has to be a path forward,” built on many opportunities in health.

…with Dr. Marc Skelton. In this episode we bridge the gap between classroom practice and psychological theory to share actionable strategies for fostering student success. Drawing on years of teaching experience to research at the University of Warwick, Marc breaks down what truly drives student engagement. Marc introduces us to Paulo Freire's "banking model" of education, and advocates for a shift to active, meaningful learning where students are co-creators of knowledge. The core of the conversation centres on Self-Regulated Learning (SRL), exploring Barry Zimmerman's three phases: Forethought (planning), Performance (the "missing middle" of self-monitoring), and Self-Reflection (learning from experience). We then dive into the Transformative Power of Goal Setting, emphasizing that success requires both Agency ("I can do this") and Pathways (concrete plans). Learn about the impact of Goal Diaries and the critical role of Meaningful Talk and Social Support in sustaining motivation. Finally, we discuss how educators can redefine success by celebrating Achievement (personal growth) over mere Attainment (grades), creating classrooms where every student thrives. Bullet points:  Dual role of the speaker as a teacher and researcher in educational psychology. Journey into teaching mathematics and interest in educational psychology. Exploration of student motivation and engagement in learning. Influence of Paulo Freire's pedagogy and Albert Bandura's agency theory on educational practices. Development of a tutor time program focused on metacognition and self-regulated learning. Insights from research on definitions and perceptions of learning among students and teachers. Distinction between attainment (external measures) and achievement (personal significance) in education. Importance of self-regulated learning, goal setting, and meaningful communication in enhancing student motivation. Findings on the impact of social interaction and support on students' goal achievement and well-being. Advocacy for integrating psychological principles into educational practices to foster meaningful learning experiences.

In this episode, I dig into one of my favorite topics—what really makes us happy—and why the holidays are the perfect time to rethink how we create joy for ourselves and our kids. If you've ever wondered why the things you anticipate don't always end up being the things that actually fill your heart, you're not alone. I explore the science behind pleasure versus happiness, why we confuse the two, and how small intentional choices can make the holiday season feel richer, calmer, and more meaningful.Rather than chasing quick hits of dopamine, I walk through the PERMA model and share science-backed ways to help kids—and ourselves—feel more grounded, connected, and genuinely content. If you're craving a holiday experience that lingers well beyond the wrapping paper and pumpkin pie, this episode will help you set the stage.Links & Resources:[0:00] – Opening welcome + exciting announcement about our new workbook [1:20] – Why the holidays bring both joy and disappointment [2:18] – Pleasure vs. happiness: how dopamine tricks us [4:10] – The rush of rewards, hedonic adaptation, and why pleasure fades [5:30] – Serotonin and the science of contentment [6:20] – Reflecting on past holidays and why those memories stick [7:05] – Introducing PERMA: the science of lasting happiness [7:40] – P: Positive emotions—exercise, rest, gratitude, and Thanksgiving traditions [8:55] – E: Engagement—how “I get to” changes everything [9:35] – R: Relationships—the strongest predictor of long-term happiness [10:51] – M: Meaning—why contributing and giving matter more than getting [12:40] – Achievement—keeping accomplishment in healthy perspective [14:10] – Better conversation starters for kids and teens [15:20] – How intentional activities shape half of our happiness [16:15] – Final reflections on gifts, gratitude, and meaningful experiences [17:20] – Closing thoughts + message for parents who may want extra supportLinks & ResourcesPrepMatters – https://prepmatters.comPhone: 301-951-0350 (for families wanting to connect with our team)If this episode has helped you, remember to rate, follow, and share the Self-Driven Child Podcast.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I break down why Google Cloud's new Gemini Enterprise may be Thomas Kurian's most ambitious and most defining move yet.Highlights00:14 — One of the fastest-growing companies in the Cloud Wars Top 10 — and one that has been the most innovative, successful, and is definitely making a run at the number one spot — is Google Cloud. And I think that this week, as Thomas Kurian begins his eighth year as CEO of Google Cloud, he has recently pulled together what I'm calling his crowning achievement.01:15 — It's what it's done here with Gemini Enterprise. I think it is the perfect fit to simplify and accelerate the journey into the cloud — or, I'm sorry, into AI, the AI economy — for their business customers. Gemini Enterprise says, “We can do the whole thing end-to-end ... But you're free to pick and choose any of the different pieces of it — bring in other vendors, other technologies."02:13 — I think what they're doing here is saying, “We've taken care of the heavy lifting of the underlying technology, everything from the models to the platform to the developer tools to governance and security and privacy. You, the customer, can now focus on unleashing your people and their creativity to build on this platform to help drive those great business outcomes you want.”03:03 — So, different companies at different points in their evolutions and transformations can pick what they want. The big thing: faster time to value, because it's ready to go out of the box. There's not a lot of patchwork to be done now.04:00 — Kurian has taken the best of the cloud with the best of AI, and offered them up to customers in a seamless package that delivers not just the underlying technology but this sense I talked about that they can move into this very exciting but also very different AI economy with a lot of confidence about where they're headed and what's going on.

In this episode, we sit down with Peta Kelly for a raw, deeply human exploration of what it truly means to live in alignment with God's design. Peta opens up about her upbringing as an eldest daughter in a tough environment, her meteoric rise in the holistic health world, and the long road of shedding the “boss babe” identity to reclaim her femininity, her faith, and her integrity. We explore motherhood without perfectionism, raising resilient children in a fragile culture, letting go of wellness neurosis, and trusting the innate intelligence of the body. With her trademark honesty, humor, and self-awareness, Peta speaks to the beauty, the messiness, and the liberation found in radical self-honesty. This is a conversation about faith, resilience, womanhood, and rediscovering the simplicity and brilliance of God's design.Time Stamps(00:00 Episode Teaser)(00:36 Opening Conversation)(02:33 Peta Kelly's Background and Achievements)(03:41 Growing Up in Perth)(07:43 Eldest Daughter Responsibilities)(10:19 Peta's Journey to Success)(16:48 Balancing Motherhood and Career)(18:16 Inner Work and Self-Discovery)(24:53 More About Being The Eldest Daughter)(34:48 Parenting in the Modern World)(38:52 Navigating Emotional Challenges with Children)(41:46 Balancing Social Media and Parenting)(46:03 Health and Wellness Perspectives)(59:55 What Is Body Luxury?)(01:14:20 Truth vs. Honesty)(01:21:35 Gender Differences)(01:39:46 The Impact of Social Media)(01:45:29 Final Thoughts and Reflections)Guest Linkshttps://petakelly.com/ https://www.likehoneycomb.com/ (Substack)https://www.instagram.com/petajean_/ Peta's podcast - Good WomenConnect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links

The P word. Purpose. After putting out more than 170 episodes in the past two years, I finally needed a break. The fall has been a rocky road, one of my favorite ice cream flavors, but also a tough stretch mentally. So I stepped back, went into the mountains, left the watch at home, and spent real time reconnecting with why I love moving through the outdoors.I talk about losing the sense of purpose that was so clear every single day on the Appalachian Trail FKT, and what it feels like when that structure vanishes overnight. I get into distraction, mental health, being overwhelmed by the noise of the world, and how easy it is to tear people down online. I also share why purpose matters, how I tried to find mine again, and how getting outside remains the one environment where I can think clearly, communicate honestly, and feel grounded.Then we jump into Trail TMZ. A wild update on the Grand Teton FKT switchback case, including the surprise presidential pardon that shook trail running. A Badwater 135 movie in the works with a Hollywood star attached. Montana State football chaos. And three major women's records falling at Tunnel Hill.I close with some thoughts on brands, expectations, therapy, bandwidth, identity, and why the outdoors continues to be the most reliable entryway to clarity in my life.Brought to you by long-time supporters Janji, CS Coffee, and Garage Grown Gear.

Your emotional state can either propel you toward success or sabotage your progress. In this episode, Kris Krohn reveals how emotions influence decision-making, motivation, and achievement in every area of life. You'll learn powerful techniques to shift your state, increase emotional intelligence, and stay aligned with your goals. If you want to unlock higher performance and greater happiness, this episode delivers the tools you need.

What if the drive you call ambition is actually your body trying to save you. People glorify ambition, but trauma driven ambition is not ambition. It is a nervous system strategy. It is the body trying to outrun a wound. Outrun rejection. Outrun abandonment. When love was unpredictable, your brain learned to earn it. Achievement became safety. Productivity became protection. Success became survival. You were conditioned to believe that if you excel, you are worthy, and if you slow down, you are replaceable. This creates an identity tied to performance instead of worth. You become the strong one. The responsible one. The overachiever who cannot rest because rest feels dangerous. Silence feels like abandonment. Slowing down feels like failure. Trauma driven ambition looks successful from the outside, but internally it costs you peace, presence, and connection. You are not chasing success. You are outrunning fear. Healing is not about losing your ambition. It is about shifting the fuel. When your nervous system is regulated, ambition becomes grounded, purposeful, and aligned. You stop running from something. You start building toward something. That is the difference between being fueled by pain and being anchored in purpose. Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

This week, I talk with Dr. Emily Anhalt—a clinical psychologist, founder, and writer who's spent the past 15 years exploring what it really means to be emotionally healthy. You might know her from her TED Talk or her work at Coa, but in this conversation, we go deeper. We talk about growing up in Silicon Valley, the pressure of being a high-achieving kid, and why so many successful people still carry unresolved grief. Emily shares how ADHD shaped her early life, what led her to leave pre-med for psychology, and how emotional patterns from childhood often resurface in our work and relationships. We also dive into what actually makes therapy effective and why hitting your goals doesn't always bring peace. If you've ever built something meaningful but still felt unsettled, or questioned what's really driving your ambition, I think this episode will speak to you. Let's get to it. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (02:52) - How a beanbag chair and snacks helped Emily unlock her best work (08:01) - Growing up inside the Silicon Valley success machine (09:45) - Why high performers need a different kind of therapy  (11:53) - The story of Emily's parents and how they ended up in the Valley (13:54) - Reframing ADHD as a strength, not a stigma (16:33) - The early experiences that shaped Emily's emotional lens (23:40) - How Emily chose psychology—and what kept her going (28:40) - The moment therapy stopped being about symptoms (33:06) - Why grief is a necessary companion to growth (38:21) - The origin story of a company built around emotional fitness (42:30) - What changes when you go from therapist to founder (45:27) - The qualities of high-integrity therapy (51:26) - How Emily knew it was time to write a book (58:20) - What really keeps entrepreneurs stuck—and how to get unstuck (01:02:09) - What it feels like when success leaves you empty (01:05:32) - How to rebuild when your goals stop making sense (01:07:44) - Why achieving meaning isn't the same as feeling it (01:11:06) - Why therapy often gets harder before it gets better (01:12:47) - Abandoning hard feelings before healing happens (01:13:40) - The isolation of success—and how to find support (01:21:17) - How overachievers get trapped in burnout (01:29:26) - Healthy ways to process anger (01:33:46) - What makes Emily world-class?

Is it possible to transform 20 years of addiction into a life of purpose, clarity, and helping others?David Price can tell you. After 20 years of IV heroin addiction, he made the choice that changed everything. Walking into his first 12-step meeting, he broke down crying—not understanding why. Now he knows it was divine intervention. David shares his journey from sleeping on his grandmother's pull-out couch with no car and massive debt to building an ultra-successful insurance business.

It's a byproduct of expectations and outcome fixation; reframe it as a challenge and return to controllables. Process > performance > outcome. Track performance stats, but win the day by executing process goals (breath, target, routine, commitment). Curiosity beats judgment. Asking "What's really happening?" dissolves shame, perfectionism, and fear—opening access to better decisions and motor memory. Calibrated intensity. Grind isn't mindless hours; it's intentional focus paired with recovery, so skills encode and become automatic. Detach identity from results. You are not your score or sales number; evaluate inputs and execution quality, not just outcomes. Reframe your language. "I have to" → "I get to," "I'm busy" → "I'm in demand"—word choice shifts physiology and performance. Coach with empathy first. Before offering fixes, make athletes feel seen; then co-create reframes and experiments they can own. Key Quotes: "Pressure doesn't exist—outside of physics. We create it with expectations." "Achievement can feel like a drug—use it to fuel you, not break you." "You're not what you produce. You are enough—regardless of the number." "Win with process goals; they ladder up to performance—and then outcomes." "Curiosity is the antidote to so many psychological 'diseases.'" "If you keep grinding the stone, it turns to nothing. Rest builds growth." "Tell yourself: You have everything you need to succeed. Then access it."

The Trump administration has delivered significant achievements on border security, energy production, crime reduction, and foreign policy in its first 10 months, but several overlooked issues could become serious vulnerabilities if not addressed before the midterms.   Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the major political challenges that could quietly undermine the Trump administration's momentum heading into 2026 and why the administration must shift its public messaging toward the economy on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”   “ Donald Trump has naturally talked about achieving peace with Ethiopia and Egypt, or Pakistan or India, or what we accomplish by taking out the nuclear facilities in Iran, etc. But the elections are not won on foreign policy, unfortunately, or maybe fortunate. They're won on economics. And the Left, in that vacuum, and that lack of praise for the accomplishments of the Trump administration on energy, on GDP, on the stock market, on deregulation, on tax reform, and what will happen in 2026 when, I think, foreign investment and these new technologies will help, in addition, spur the economy and relieve our worries about inflation and affordability—we have to talk about that. Specifically, he has to talk about the comparison of the Biden administration with both his first term, but more importantly, with what he's done the first 10 to 11 months, and what will ensue in 2026 for the things he's doing now.”   00:00 Introduction 00:58 Achievements and Comparisons 04:20 HB-1 Visas Controversy 05:50 Final Thoughts    

I share why you can't make someone feel your love...and why that's liberating. When you offer presence and kindness, their body has to feel safe enough to receive it; your job is to love without controlling their response. This is where boundaries get stronger, not softer: limits set without resentment are clearer, kinder, and more effective. We talk about body image, marriage, parenting, and the everyday moments when conditional love sneaks in....and what it takes to shift toward abundance rather than exhaustion.For high‑functioning Muslim women, this conversation lands close to home. Achievement often masquerades as self‑love. We practice returning to the baseline, “I love myself because I exist,” and reflect on faith: moving from loving Allah only for blessings to loving because we were created capable of love. The mind will try to rationalize even this; we learn to notice, soften, and return to experience over analysis. By the end, you'll have language, examples, and a repeatable practice to make unconditional love your default, rooted, spacious, and deeply alive.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review telling us one condition you're ready to drop today.To leave a review on Apple Podcasts, open the app and go to the show's page by searching for it or finding it in your library.

In this episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I sit down with Candice Horbacz, a former adult film star turned mindfulness advocate, podcaster, and homeschooling mother. Candice brings a rare blend of candor, introspection, and wisdom to this deeply personal conversation. We explore how she navigated radical life transitions, healed from childhood trauma, and created a home rooted in authenticity, curiosity, and emotional safety.   Candice opens up about her own upbringing, the dysfunction that shaped her early worldview, and how she found her way to a new version of identity after walking away from the adult industry. This episode is about reclaiming power—through parenting, partnership, and personal evolution.     EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS   [0:00] – Introduction [1:36] – How Candice's childhood shaped her early sense of self [4:18] – Growing up in a home where emotions weren't safe [7:03] – Her path into the adult film industry and what it masked [9:55] – Why the lack of secure relationships drew her toward unhealthy dynamics [12:30] – How she began to explore healing, trauma work, and self-awareness [14:49] – The role of her partner in helping her see her worth [17:01] – What led her to leave the adult industry behind [18:57] – Shifting identity and rebuilding trust within herself [21:04] – Navigating marriage with vulnerability and truth [23:15] – Creating emotional safety for her son as a homeschooling mom [26:40] – Why curiosity is her #1 parenting tool [29:21] – Helping kids navigate their own triggers without shame [32:09] – Final reflections on how to lead with authenticity at home     5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Early Dysfunction Often Masks Itself in Achievement or Escape: Candice shares how a childhood without emotional safety pushed her to find validation in unhealthy spaces, including adult entertainment. Self-Awareness Begins with Naming the Pain: Her healing journey started by recognizing how trauma shaped her reactions, her self-worth, and her definition of love. You Can Reinvent Your Identity Without Shame: Leaving the adult film industry was a reclamation of agency, and her story proves it's never too late to rewrite your narrative. Parenting with Curiosity Builds Emotional Safety: Rather than reacting with control, Candice leans into curiosity when her son struggles—inviting connection instead of conflict. Partnerships Flourish in Vulnerability, Not Performance: With her husband, Candice found safety to explore who she truly was—laying the foundation for a conscious, present, and authentic marriage.   LINKS & RESOURCES Learn more about Candice and her work: https://www.chattingwithcandice.com Candice's Website: candicehorbacz.com  Discover our free Questions for the Car download: https://thedadedge.com/25questions The Dad Edge & Bark: http://thedadedge.com/bark Show Notes for this episode: thedadedge.com/1402     If this episode gave you a new perspective on parenting, healing, or connection, share it with someone who needs to hear it—and don't forget to rate and review the podcast.   Live legendary.

In a world that often dismisses the extraordinary as mere fantasy, the Webby Award winning podcast, The Telepathy Tapes, dares to listen instead.What began as a documentary investigation into the remarkable telepathic abilities of non-speaking individuals with autism has expanded into a global exploration of consciousness itself – the science behind it, the mysteries within it, and the lived experiences that refuse to be ignored.In Season One, non-speaking autistic individuals revealed striking abilities that challenge everything we thought we knew about the mind. In Season Two, the lens widens to extraordinary phenomena that invite us to rethink reality itself. From near death experiences to telepathic communication with animals, energy healing to plant intelligence, and the origins of creativity to sudden savant abilities -- each episode offers a rare glimpse into the vast terrain of consciousness beyond the brain.Most people do not live at the extremes of blind belief or hard-nosed skepticism and nobody wants to be fooled in either direction. Award-winning filmmaker Ky Dickens is your host in this paradigm-shifting series that navigates the space between proof and possibility, where transparency, curiosity, and open-minded skepticism meet to help listeners uncover answers to the mysteries that science hasn't fully explained.

Aging quietly shapes everything - our economies, our politics, our families, and the horizon of what nations can become. Jacob and longevity expert Dylan Livingston, founder of the Alliance for Longevity Initiatives (A4LI), take a dive into the emerging science that treats aging not as fate, but as a solvable biological problem with staggering geopolitical consequences. The two explore how extending healthy human life could transform productivity, rebalance global power, upend healthcare economics, and challenge long-held assumptions about decline. At its core is a question: what happens when longevity becomes a public policy frontier, not a personal fantasy?--Timestamps:(00:00) - Introduction(00:21) - The Importance of Longevity(02:48) - Personal Journey into Longevity(04:48) - Historical Quest for Immortality(10:02) - Modern Longevity Science(13:13) - Challenges and Societal Implications(19:53) - A4LI's Mission and Achievements(27:38) - Policy and Future Goals(32:51) - FDA Guidance and Incentives for Therapeutics(34:01) - Supply Chain Concerns and American Manufacturing(35:32) - Political Perspectives on Longevity(37:13) - Bipartisan Efforts and Advocacy(41:55) - Challenges and Opportunities in Longevity Research(52:28) - Economic and Demographic Implications of Longevity(01:01:45) - Closing Remarks and Future Conversations--Referenced in the Show:A4LI - https://a4li.org/ --Jacob Shapiro Site: jacobshapiro.comJacob Shapiro LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jacob-l-s-a9337416Jacob Twitter: x.com/JacobShapJacob Shapiro Substack: jashap.substack.com/subscribe --The Jacob Shapiro Show is produced and edited by Audiographies LLC.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton unpack one of the most deceptive beliefs in first responder culture (Amazon Affiliate) — that the next promotion will make things better. Many responders chase advancement believing that more authority, a new title, or a higher paycheck will finally bring peace. But often, the opposite happens. The pressure grows, the politics intensify, and the burnout that once hid beneath the surface follows you straight into your new office. This episode explores the hidden psychological trap behind "The Promotion Illusion" and what it really takes to find fulfillment that rank alone can't provide.

Paul Gregory argues that Lee Harvey Oswald's primary motive was a profound belief that he was special and destined for greatness, fostered by his mother. Gregory insists Oswald is often underestimated, highlighting his achievements as a master manipulator who deceived the Soviets and planned the General Walker assassination attempt. A secondary but major factor was Marina, who constantly scorned his intelligence and manhood, making him feel worthless. Oswald's trial was meant to be his glorious moment to demonstrate his brilliance to the world and Marina. Killing the president offered a way to prove himself to his wife and establish himself as a historical figure. Guest: Paul Gregory. 1961

Start Your Transformation Now In this episode of the Transform Your Life podcast, I talk about the importance of living your own purpose in life rather than conforming to the expectations and ideals of others. I talk about how we can get stuck in careers, relationships, and situations that don't align with our true desires because we seek the approval of our parents, partners, and society. I ask you to explore whether you are truly living a purposeful, fulfilling life on your own terms or living your life for others. As I ask the last question, I think back to the 1991 movie, The Dead Poet's Society, and I think about the movie character named Neil. He wanted to pursue acting and loved it, but his stern father wanted him to go to Harvard Medical School. Neil hated the idea of medical school and found it soul-crushing, but he agreed. You'll have to watch the movie for the story's conclusion, but it's not uncommon for people to deny their own hopes, wishes, wants, and dreams and instead live their lives to please their parents. Often times cultural and familial pressures guide people down a path that doesn't fulfill them, and they live decades misaligned from their own purpose while trying to please others. So, it's important to ask whether you are living your own purpose or someone else's. Another purpose-robbing action that people often get into is seeking validation from others. This is a surefire way to live an unfulfilled life. For example, a friend of mine was constantly motivated by a desire for his father's approval, and that led him down an obsessive path of constantly trying to prove himself. This behavior disconnects you from your higher self and obscures your true purpose. You can't create an authentic life while dependent on external validation. I have found that the key to living your purpose is surrendering to your destiny and innate talents. This involves getting quiet, listening to your intuition, and taking aligned action. We must focus on the importance of being grateful and on contribution rather than achievement. Here are four key points you may want to keep in mind: Surrender to your innate talents and destiny.Listen to your intuition and take aligned action.Express gratitude and focus on contributing.Achievements will naturally follow purposeful contributions. You must examine whether you are living someone else's purpose or your own. If you are not thrilled by how you spend your days, you are likely conforming to others' expectations. I challenge you to get creative, listen within, and take steps each day to live your own purpose. Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway When you are living your purpose, you are contributing your talents to activities that light you up, and you will experience true joy and fulfillment.
