Texans roster , Strom and Acknowledge me
We talk a lot about what it takes to become a better leader. We talk about discipline. Accountability. Resilience. Taking on the hard assignments.Being the person others can count on.We don't talk nearly enough about what happens when the leader carrying all of that never puts anything down.On this episode of the Be All You Can Be MSC Podcast, I'm stepping away from our normal interview format for a conversation I believe we need to have more often in the military, Boundaries.Not boundaries that lower the standard or become an excuse not to accomplish the mission. The boundaries that allow us to keep leading well. After almost 20 years of service, I'm still learning them myself.In this episode, I break down three:1. Protect your body before it forces you to stop.2. Protect your mental capacity and stop believing you have to figure everything out alone.3. Acknowledge your emotions before they begin leading for you.I share some of the lessons I learned the hard way from ignoring an injury until I needed surgery, to realizing that every professional opportunity doesn't have to become my opportunity.Because every yes has a cost.And perhaps most importantly, our teams shouldn't have to absorb the emotions we refuse to process. And our families shouldn't receive only what's left of us after the Army has taken everything else.Leadership isn't proving you can carry everything. It's knowing what must be carried, what can be shared, and when it's time to put something down.If you're a leader who takes pride in being the person everyone can depend on, this episode is especially for you.
324. Unlocking Creativity by Honing Your Inner Voice with Natalie Hanemann In this episode of Creative Chats, we welcome Natalie Hanemann, a writer and ghostwriter who thinks deeply about how ideas are formed before they become finished work. This episode is especially useful if you've ever felt stuck between making work for other people and making something that feels genuinely yours. Natalie shares how she came to see herself as creative, why solitude and journaling changed her process, and how to move from survival mode into a more intentional interior life. Mike and Natalie also talk through the tension between client work and personal projects, and what it takes to protect your own voice. 3 Key Takeaways:
There are real barriers that come with living with cerebral palsy and with having a visible disability.I have experienced frustration, anger, bitterness, limitations, and situations where cerebral palsy absolutely affected what I was able to do. I also understand why conversations about ableism, accommodations, access, and fairness can carry so much emotion.At the same time, I do not want my life to become an ongoing us versus them conversation.In this episode, I unpack why I believe both things can be true. We can acknowledge the realities of disability while also asking ourselves what we are going to do with the life and circumstances we have.My experience with cerebral palsy is my own. Someone else with the same diagnosis may have completely different challenges, abilities, support needs, and opportunities. That nuance matters.But I still believe there is value in asking ourselves a simple question.What am I going to do next?There are times when we need accommodations. There are times when we need help. And if we are trying to accomplish meaningful things in any area of life, disability or not, we are probably going to need other people along the way.That is different from allowing frustration, resentment, or comparison to become the place where we stay.I also talk about why I am not trying to convince people who have already decided they completely disagree with how I see things. The people I care most about reaching are the ones somewhere in the middle. The people who know they want something different but have not completely decided what direction they are going to take.You can acknowledge what has happened to you. You can be angry about it. You can recognize the barriers in front of you.And you can still decide what you want to do from here.
Hour 2 - Texans, Acknowledge me and CFB
The episode centers on the inaugural Miami Koi Show, a high-end event designed to foster koi culture and education in South Florida. The organizers detail unique attractions, such as a banquet hosted on a yacht and a venue specifically engineered for aquatic displays, to highlight the "Miami flavor" of the competition. They address the logistical hurdles of launching a new show while expressing a desire to build a supportive hobbyist community that values quality Japanese fish. The conversation also explores the technical nuances of judging, the diverse categories of awards available, and the broader appeal of Miami's nightlife and biodiversity for visiting families. Key Takeaways: Look for simplicity in your solutions, as the most impactful ideas and designs are often the most straightforward ones hidden right in front of you. Focus on building a genuine community, because connecting with peers over shared passions creates much stronger, more lasting bonds than transactional relationships. Acknowledge and value the support systems around you, remembering that major achievements are rarely accomplished alone and rely heavily on the patience, creativity, and partnership of others. Expect the unexpected and remain adaptable, because even the most thoroughly prepared plans can face sudden, uncontrollable changes when it is time to execute. Do not let intimidation prevent you from participating, as there are opportunities for growth, recognition, and success at every level of your journey.
Have you ever wondered if you're leading well—or if you're accidentally taking over? In Episode 270: How to Lead Without Taking Over, I answer a thoughtful question from a sister missionary who worried she might be controlling as a senior companion. Her vulnerability opened the door to a conversation I think every leader needs to hear. Whether you're a trainer, district leader, mission leader, parent, teacher, or simply someone with stewardship over another person, learning to lead with humility while preserving agency is one of the most important skills you can develop. In this episode, we explore the difference between stewardship and superiority, why good leaders reflect instead of assuming they have all the answers, and how to create as much agency and influence as possible while still carrying the responsibility you've been given. I also introduce my LEAD Framework—Listen, Explain, Acknowledge, and Decide—to help you navigate disagreements with kindness, clarity, and confidence without sacrificing either leadership or relationships. Along the way, I share practical examples from missionary companionships that apply just as well to families, church callings, workplaces, and everyday life. If you've ever questioned your leadership, worried about making the right decision, or wondered how to balance responsibility with respect for another person's agency, I hope Episode 270: How to Lead Without Taking Over gives you greater confidence and peace. My hope is that you'll discover that true leadership isn't about having more power—it's about carrying greater responsibility with humility, compassion, and Christlike love.

In this episode of the Guns Podcast US, your hosts Brent Wheat and Roy Huntington dive into a critical, often ignored reality of the shooting world: the difference between buying gear and developing actual skill. We explore why new shooters—and even experienced ones—frequently fall into the trap of thinking they can buy their way to proficiency. From the common mistake of buying a gun before defining your mission, to the obsession with excessive accessories over fundamental techniques, we break down how to stop overcomplicating your training. Whether you're a beginner or a veteran, this conversation will help you refocus on what truly makes you a better shooter and how to cut through the industry noise to focus on what matters most. Key Takeaways · Don't confuse buying expensive equipment with developing core shooting skills. · Define your mission before purchasing a firearm to ensure it fits your actual needs. · Professional instruction drastically accelerates your learning curve compared to self-teaching. · Prioritize fundamental techniques over collecting excessive accessories or 'cool guy' gear. · Constant gear changes can be dangerous and detrimental to building muscle memory. · Avoid the trap of 'mag dumping' for fun; intentional practice leads to real improvement. · Acknowledge the difference between what you need and what you simply want. -- The GunsPodcastUS is presented by Holosun.

Brian reflects on the whirlwind week of moving his son into Grove City College, wrestling with the mix of pride, sadness, and trust required to release a child into independence and let their faith become their own. He shares the surprising comeback of Christian music legend Sandy Patty, releasing new music a decade after her farewell tour at age 70. Brian reacts to a CBS/YouGov poll showing a striking number of Democrats holding a more favorable view of socialism than capitalism, and shares JD Greer's "Adore, Acknowledge, Appeal" framework for prayer drawn from Nehemiah. He digs into the "friendship depth gap" — the modern problem of having many shallow connections but few deep ones — and a Christianity Today piece cautioning against Texas lawmakers seeking to redefine Islam to strip it of religious liberty protections, warning that restricting freedom for one faith opens the door to restricting it for all. He closes with a thoughtful piece on how to forgive someone who never says sorry.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Abundance Journey: Accelerating Revenue With An Abundance Mindset
The guidance you've been searching for may have been with you all along. The real challenge is learning how to recognize Divine wisdom beneath fear, overthinking, and the pressure to get everything right.In this joyful conversation, Elaine Starling welcomes author, spiritual instructor, angel communicator, and modern mystic Ann Albers to explore the powerful connection between self-love and Divine guidance. Ann shares the extraordinary path that took her from engineering to more than 30 years of communicating with angels, along with the simple principle she uses to evaluate guidance: does it genuinely resonate?You'll discover why self-love is not about being positive all the time, how self-acceptance helps you naturally rise into greater alignment, and why relaxing your mental grip makes it easier to receive the next inspired impulse. Ann also shares a practical way to tune into the vibration of love before asking for guidance, plus remarkable stories about manifestation, trust, grief, joy, and letting The Divine handle the HOW.Topics Covered (add timestamps if available)• 0:00 How do you know whether you're receiving Divine guidance or listening to fear?• 2:40 Connecting with The Divine through breath, Intention, and shared energy• 8:02 From engineer to angel communicator: Ann's unexpected spiritual path• 11:34 The simplest test for guidance: Does it resonate?• 13:28 Why Ann defines abundance as happiness• 16:52 Why “you cannot listen when you're talking” applies to your busy mind• 18:46 Intention, Grateful Curiosity, and Celebrating in Advance• 19:57 Ann's remarkable $44,152 manifestation story• 22:11 Why we make Divine co-creation harder than it needs to be• 24:41 Self-acceptance as the foundation of self-love• 26:39 What self-love really means when you're sad, angry, grieving, or struggling• 30:33 Trusting that life can ultimately work on your behalf• 31:27 Why Divine guidance arrives “now, now, now” instead of as a five-year plan• 34:35 Two practical steps to receive clearer guidance• 37:16 Ann's free weekly Messages from Ann & the Angels• 39:53 Ann's simplest invitation: Find something you love and do it• 42:25 Playfully trusting The Divine in ordinary life• 46:45 The incomprehensible amount of love available to youYouTube tip: These timestamps can double as Chapters.Key Takeaways (Skimmable Wins)• You are the ultimate authority in your own life. Even spiritual guidance should resonate, feel inspiring, or feel naturally right to you.• Self-love begins with self-acceptance. You do not have to deny sadness, anger, grief, or frustration in order to be spiritual or receive guidance.• When you have done what you know to do, stop mentally spinning and “delegate up.” A relaxed mind has more room to receive a new thought, signal, or impulse.• Love, joy, appreciation, and kindness help tune you to the frequency on which Divine guidance is easier to perceive.• Guidance is often immediate and organic. The next right step may seem completely unrelated to the solution your mind is trying to manufacture.• Grateful Curiosity turns your relationship with The Divine into a playful partnership instead of a problem-solving struggle.• There is more love and support available to you than you can comprehend — and the more you receive, the more there is to receive.Step-by-Step Process SharedAnn's “Get in the Vibration of Love” Guidance Practice1. Accept yourself exactly where you are. → Acknowledge what you are feeling without judgment. Self-acceptance is already an act of love.2. Temporarily set the problem aside. → Stop trying to force the answer so your mind has room to listen.3. Think of someone or something you genuinely love or appreciate. → Choose anything that naturally opens your heart.4. Feel the love in your body. → Relive why you love that person, animal, memory, experience, or even a favorite treat.5. Let go of the object and stay with the feeling. → Rest in the vibration of love itself.6. Ask your question and notice what comes first. → Trust the first feeling, thought, image, or inner impulse that arises.Listen to the episode for Ann's lived examples of using these principles with manifestation, grief, decisions, money, unexpected problems, and everyday spiritual guidance.Questions Answered in This Episode• How can I tell the difference between fear, mental noise, and genuine Divine guidance?• What caused Ann Albers to leave engineering and begin communicating with angels professionally?• What does abundance mean when you begin with spiritual alignment instead of external circumstances?• Why is self-acceptance so important when I want my outer life to change?• How can I hear guidance more clearly when I'm worried, grieving, angry, or overwhelmed?• Why does trying harder sometimes make spiritual guidance harder to receive?• What can I do right now to tune into the vibration of love before asking for direction?• How can I make my relationship with The Divine more playful, trusting, and practical?Pull Quotes“You're the authority in your own life.” — Ann Albers“Self-love is truly accepting that you're a Divine being, no matter what's going on at the surface.” — Ann Albers“Get in the vibration of love first.” — Ann AlbersFree GiftFree weekly newsletter from Ann & the Angels — Messages from Ann & the Angels offers inspiration, channeled angelic wisdom, personal stories, and practical tips to help you deepen your connection with spirit and apply spiritual principles in everyday life.• https://www.visionsofheaven.comShare what you Loved and what you Learned from this episode to Download the Spiritual Alignment & Conscious Actions Guide — your roadmap to reconnect with The Divine, raise your vibration, and live as the woman your soul designed you to be.https://www.TheAbundanceJourney.com/Contact — click on the Share My Thoughts button.

What do you desire that you haven't been willing to ask for? What if you could pull it into your life magically, would you? In this episode of Choice, Change and Action, Simone Milasas talks with Julia Sotas Mattis about creating magic in your life through energy pulls, complete with two guided energy pulls. When you do an energy pull, you are working with the consciousness of the universe. You are letting the universe know your request and you are moving energy to facilitate receiving your request. The energy pull is the perfect starting point to use chaos and discover the type of wizard you are with energy. What magic are you capable of that you have not yet acknowledged you are capable of? What if everything in life is way easier than you think it is? Questions And Tools: "What chaos am I?" "What magic am I?" "I created that. Wow, how great am I? What else is possible?" "What is magical for me? What lights my fire?" "Universe, what do I desire beyond what I can possibly imagine?" "Dear universe, what else is possible?" Tools: Reading is so powerful What would you like to do that you are not choosing? Do energy pulls. Be willing to receive what you are asking for. What action are you taking? What are the greatest possibilities available for your business? We misidentify so much that working hard is going to create greater, but it's not. What if relaxation was required to create and generate anything and everything? Where are you being so autonomous and refusing to ask for help? What if asking for help and asking to receive more is actually the bravest thing that you could choose? Receive all energies. True receiving is opening up to the entirety of the universe; not controlling what you will and won't receive. Choice is our super power! Magic is choosing what works. Acknowledge you are the source of creation of everything. Start being that brilliance and ask for what you desire and require. If you want to create more magic, acknowledge the magic you already are creating. It will strengthen your relationship with your own magic and expand that magic. When you create magic say, "I created that. Wow, how great am I? What else is possible?" Joy can ignite more magic. Know what brings you joy. Your life is your business. What are the energies of magic for you? What lights your fire? What makes your life worth living? Ask for all of the things you desire that you can't even imagine right now; you don't need to. What energy, space, consciousness, choice, magic, miracles, mysteries, possibilities, power, potency and profitability can you be to create a reality beyond this reality with total ease? Everything that is, times a godzillion, will you destroy and uncreate it? Right and wrong, good and bad, POD and POC, all 100, shorts, boys, creations, bases and beyonds. How many of you are trying to get it right whilst thinking you are wrong, when in truth, what if you asked for freedom? Everything that is, times a godzillion, will you destroy and uncreate it? Right and wrong, good and bad, POD and POC, all 100, shorts, boys, creations, bases and beyonds. Destroy and uncreate any blocks you have to receiving that much magic. Right and wrong, good and bad, POD and POC, all 100, shorts, boys, creations, bases and beyonds. what energy, space, consciousness, choice, magic, miracles, mysteries, possibilities, power, potency and profitability can you be to create a reality of magic totally beyond this reality for all eternity with total ease?

Nothing seems to work. You model gratitude. You talk about growth mindset. You ask what went well each day. Yet your child still expects the worst, finds the problem first, and drains every exciting moment. So should you keep trying to make them more positive? In this episode, Justin and Kylie answer a question from a mum of 11-year-old twins who worries one daughter always sees the glass half empty. They unpack why some children naturally think this way, why forcing optimism often backfires, and the simple shift that helps children become more resilient without feeling like they're being fixed. If you've ever wondered how to support a child who always seems negative, this conversation might completely change how you see them. KEY POINTS Why temperament isn't something parents can change The surprising downside of pushing gratitude and positivity What defensive pessimism is and why it can actually be protective How to acknowledge feelings without making them bigger Why autonomy matters more than getting the "right" answer The hidden pressure that can exist between siblings and twins Small ways to build optimism without forcing it QUOTE OF THE EPISODE "The fastest way to have a more positive child is making peace with the negative one." RESOURCES MENTIONED Leave a question for the Happy Families Podcast Growth mindset Gratitude practices Defensive pessimism Autonomy and intrinsic motivation ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Stop trying to fix your child's personality. Get curious about what their negativity is telling you. Acknowledge feelings without dwelling on them. Give your child genuine choice instead of demanding positive responses. Model optimism consistently and let your child come to it in their own time. Spend one-on-one time with each child, especially if sibling comparisons are common.

Hour 2 - Seth's notes + Acknowledge me , NFL Rankings
Connect With ChazIn December 2006, John Vasquez attempted suicide. That is how he describes it. The person he was that day, a man drowning in opiate addiction and low self-worth, died. He considers it the beginning, not the end.Fourteen years later, the COVID pandemic shut down the gym he had built using Alex Hormozi's Gym Launch program, and he found himself sleeping on his parents' couch with two kids, back in the house he grew up in, watching his parents' same patterns around money and fear play out in real time. That was the moment he drew a line in the sand.Today Coach JV runs three seven-figure business ecosystems, has a Rockefeller Trust set up for his family for generations, and has built a massive social media following teaching financial literacy, micro and macroeconomics, and cryptocurrency education to people who were never taught any of it. In this conversation with Chaz Wolfe, Coach JV breaks down his 5-part financial framework, why Ray Dalio is the lens through which he reads the global economy, why paying yourself first is not just a strategy but a frequency shift, and how he is raising his kids to be the first generation to break the pattern for good.Key Takeaways:Drawing the line in the sand is not a motivational phrase. It is a moment when you become more committed to the pain of change than to the pain of staying the same. That specific shift is what changes the trajectory.You have to give up something to become something. And most people are addicted to their old self. The subconscious programming laid down in childhood drives adult behavior more than most people ever acknowledge.Coach JV's 5-part financial framework: Foundation, meaning rewire your belief system around money and trace where it came from. Financial Literacy, meaning understand what money actually is, how banks work, and what the Federal Reserve has done to the dollar since 1913. Discipline, meaning budgeting and asking do I need this or do I want this. Income Creation. And finally, Protection, Compounding, and Growth.The US dollar has collapsed 99 percent in purchasing power since the Federal Reserve was created in 1913. School, job, 401(k) is a strategy of hope. You are hoping the market aligns when you retire. That is not a plan.Pay yourself first every single time. Before bills. Before spending. Money goes into your freedom account first. What is left is what you live on. This changes your frame of mind and eliminates frivolous spending automatically.America is at 120 percent debt-to-income ratio. The average middle-class American needs to earn $160,000 per year to truly be middle class now. The regional banks are in a tough position. Bond yields inverted in 2023. These are not opinions. These are Ray Dalio's documented patterns.Cryptocurrency is going to move significantly on the back end of this cycle. But what goes up must come down hard. Buy the rumors, sell the news. When the mainstream is telling you to get in, you should have been out days ago.Define your principles before anything else. For Coach JV: business principles are integrity, honesty, and uncompromising belief in God. Personal principles are peace, freedom, and family structure. If anything disrupts those three, the answer is a hard no. A $10 million contract offer that disrupts family structure is still a no.Ask your son when he falls: are you hurt or are you scared?

Are you reacting to the current economic downturn like everyone else? Tightening the purse strings and functioning from lack is going to create more lack. The world is in lack but you don't have to be. Are you willing to not be normal, average and real, and choose possibilities? In this episode of Choice, Change and Action, Simone Milasas talks with Viv Adcock about the energetics of money and what you can do and be to generate and create possibilities with money, regardless of the economic climate. Firstly, tightening the purse strings is a judgment - that there's not enough money, that it's finite, that things are too expensive, etc. - and judgment never creates, it always destroys. Secondly, what you focus on grows. Are you putting your attention on what is not, rather than looking at what else is possible and what you are actually receiving? If you are truly desiring something different, you've got to be out of control and in question, and you've got to be willing to receive, allowing every molecule of consciousness to contribute to you. Questions And Tools: "What can I create, what can I choose, what action can I take to change my financial reality?" "Who does this belong to?" "Universe, show me what else is possible." "What can I receive that I haven't been willing to receive before?" "What else is possible beyond this?" "What have I decided I need money for?" "What am I avoiding with money?" "What am I proving with money?" "What am I proving with no money?" "What can show up today that I wasn't willing to receive?" "What can I be today that I have not yet chosen?" "All of life comes to us with ease, joy and glory." Tools: Don't go to reaction, go to action. What year did you create the most money so far? Times it by 10. What action do you need to take to create and generate that? Do you need to make more money? Would you like to? Tightening the purse strings and functioning from lack is going to create more lack. Acknowledge what you are already receiving. What if you didn't stop receiving? Look for what else is possible. Start being in question and find out what is possible beyond control. Price is not relevant because you can always create and generate more. The world is in lack but you don't have to be in lack. What if it isn't a problem, what if it's a situation? POC & POD to clear the canvas then ask, "What action can I take that will create change here?" Don't try and work out the future by controlling it. Allow the future to show up by being in question. Be willing to ask for help. Are you willing to go bigger and greater than you perceive is possible? What contribution can you be with money? What if money was to change people's realities? Do you want a predictable, duplicatable reality or a generative life that is always about being in question and always receiving and knowing that greater can show up? You've got to be out of control. You've got to be willing to receive. Have you decided you can't outcreate your family? How many of you are functioning from this caste system that doesn't need to be? Are you truly desiring something different? Stop being limited and start being you What would happen if you were out of control, out of definition, out of form, structure and significance, out of linearities, out of concentricities and out of limitations with receiving? Everything that is, times a godzillion, will you destroy and uncreate it? Right and wrong, good and bad, POD and POC, all 100, shorts, boys, creations, bases and beyonds. What action can you take today that would allow something so different to show up that just blows you away - financially, business, relationships, sex, everything? Everything that doesn't allow that to show up, times a godzillion, will you destroy and uncreate it? Right and wrong, good and bad, POD and POC, all 100, shorts, boys, creations, bases and beyonds. Will you now let every molecule of consciousness contribute to you, your body, your business, everything and more? Everything that doesn't allow that to show up, times a godzillion, will you destroy and uncreate it? Right and wrong, good and bad, POD and POC, all 100, shorts, boys, creations, bases and beyonds.

CardioNerds (Dr. Apoorva Gangavelli, Dr. Rebecca Garber, and Dr. Tina Reddy), discuss pre-pregnancy risk stratification and counseling with Dr. Katy Young across a range of risks. This episode was produced as part of the CardioNerds Academy curriculum by House Einthoven under the guidance of House Chief, Dr. Apoorva Gangavelli and Academy Program Director, Dr. Gurleen Kaur. A matching review article will be published in US Cardiology Review, the official journal of CardioNerds. This discussion was planned in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic Cardiovascular Board Review Course. Audio editing by CardioNerds intern, Dr. Patrick Pekyi-Boateng.

Notes: Why is pregnancy considered a “physiologic stress test,” and why does risk extend beyond delivery? Blood volume, heart rate, and cardiac output rise while systemic vascular resistance falls, peaking in the late second/early third trimester; underlying (even undiagnosed) heart disease can be unmasked or worsened. Postpartum (“fourth trimester”) is a high-risk period, not a safe zone – fluid shifts, rising SVR, and bleeding risk can precipitate decompensation in patients with heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, valvular disease, or aortopathy. Adverse pregnancy outcomes (hypertensive disorders, gestational diabetes, preterm birth, fetal growth restriction, peripartum cardiomyopathy) are markers of future cardiovascular risk and warrant long-term preventive follow-up. What is the practical framework for approaching pre-pregnancy cardiovascular risk? Four broad categories: (1) patients who may need cardiac screening before pregnancy, (2) patients needing risk-factor/medication optimization, (3) known cardiovascular disease where pregnancy is reasonable with structured risk stratification, and (4) high-risk disease where pregnancy may need to be delayed, modified by intervention, or discouraged. Testing should be targeted, not blanket – reserved for symptoms, abnormal exam, concerning family history, or reduced functional capacity. How is risk stratified in patients with known cardiovascular disease? Use a combination of tools per 2025 ESC guidelines: mWHO 2.0 (broad maternal risk category), CARPREG II (additional predictors of maternal cardiac events), and ZAHARA (useful in congenital heart disease). Key lesion-specific factors: aortic size/growth, valve severity, ventricular function, symptoms, blood pressure, and family history of dissection. Translate risk into practical terms for patients rather than leading with a numerical score. Which cardiovascular medications require review before conception? ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and ARNIs should be transitioned off before pregnancy; statins, MRAs, and SGLT2 inhibitors also need review. DOACs are contraindicated in pregnancy and lactation; mechanical valve anticoagulation requires individualized shared decision-making, as no strategy is risk-free for mother and fetus. Medication changes are best made proactively, before conception, rather than reactively. This is not an exhaustive list! The medication list needs to be reviewed carefully. Which conditions carry high or prohibitive risk in pregnancy? Pulmonary arterial hypertension, Eisenmenger syndrome, severe ventricular dysfunction, prior peripartum cardiomyopathy with residual LV dysfunction, severe left-sided obstructive valve disease (e.g., severe mitral stenosis), mechanical valves, significant aortopathy, cyanotic congenital heart disease, and Fontan physiology. Common theme: limited cardiovascular reserve and high risk of decompensation, thrombosis, arrhythmia, heart failure, aortic dissection, or death. These patients need expert multidisciplinary evaluation before pregnancy. Severe mitral stenosis is poorly tolerated because tachycardia shortens diastolic filling time and raises left atrial pressure, risking pulmonary edema and decompensation. When should genetic testing or counseling be offered? Consider when a diagnosis may be inherited or affect the patient, pregnancy, or family members: inherited cardiomyopathies, aortopathies, channelopathies, select congenital heart disease, and some pulmonary hypertension syndromes. Recurrence risk of congenital heart disease in offspring is roughly 6-10% when the mother has CHD; fetal echocardiography should be offered. How should contraception be approached in high-risk cardiac patients? Frame contraception as part of the cardiac care and reproductive safety plan to prevent unplanned high-risk pregnancy. Long-acting reversible contraception is often preferred; progestin-only methods are generally safer than estrogen-containing options with thrombosis risk, pulmonary hypertension, or mechanical valves. What are key delivery-planning considerations for cardiac patients? Vaginal delivery is preferred unless there is an obstetric indication for cesarean or a specific cardiac reason (e.g., unstable maternal status, therapeutic INR) to avoid labor. Planning should address delivery location, anesthesia involvement, telemetry needs, fluid management, and postpartum monitoring, clearly communicated across the multidisciplinary team in advance. How should clinicians counsel patients when pregnancy is discouraged but strongly desired? Acknowledge the patient’s goals and the emotional weight of the conversation; separate the goal (family building) from the timeline (safety now vs. after optimization). If pregnancy remains prohibitively risky, discuss alternatives for family building and ensure adequate patient support. What are the key gaps and future directions in cardio-obstetric risk stratification? Current risk tools (mWHO, CARPREG II, ZAHARA) provide common language but do not fully capture functional status, prior pregnancy history, or how risk evolves over time. Future direction: individualized, dynamic risk prediction incorporating imaging, biomarkers, exercise capacity, and social drivers of health, with better long-term links between pregnancy complications and cardiovascular prevention.

Your teen looks at you and says:“I'm not going to school.”Before you argue, lecture, threaten consequences, or immediately agree to let them stay home, pause.What you say next can either increase the power struggle—or help your teenager move toward the next manageable step.In this Quick Reset episode of The Single Parenting Reset Show, Tess Connolly gives you five calm, practical scripts for the most common school-morning situations.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN WHAT TO SAY WHEN YOUR TEEN:• Flatly refuses to go to school• Complains of a stomachache or headache• Becomes panicked or overwhelmed• Asks for “just one mental health day”• Says they are being bullied or feel unsafeTHE QUICK RESETWhen your teen says:“I'm not going to school,”try:“I hear that you do not want to go, and I believe this feels hard. School is still the plan. Would you like me to drive you, or are you taking the bus?”This response acknowledges your teen's distress without reopening the entire school-attendance decision.The goal is not to dismiss anxiety or force a teenager into a medically unsafe or dangerous situation.The goal is to:• Acknowledge the distress• Communicate confidence• Move toward the next manageable stepSometimes that next step is getting dressed.Sometimes it is getting into the car.Sometimes it is meeting a counselor at the school entrance or following a coordinated return-to-school plan.And sometimes it is stopping to investigate a medical, mental-health, bullying, or safety concern.One important reminder from this episode is:“Let's make today smaller instead of making it disappear.”Your teenager does not always need to feel completely calm before taking the next step. They need to know that you see how difficult this feels—and that you believe they can move through it with appropriate support.Go back and listen to Episode 285 for the deeper conversation about normal reluctance, anxiety, school avoidance, appropriate accommodations, and when to seek professional support.⭐️ Download the free Tween & Teen Conflict Reset Kit for seven practical scripts and a First-Ten-Minutes Plan.⭐️ If your family is stuck in repeating school-morning conflict, book a Parent Reset Strategy Session.⭐️Join the Family and get your weekly Mindful Kids and Family Journal here: https://www.mindfulkidsandfamilies.com/join-the-family (Get ready for lessons, podcast leads, offers for parents, and ways to win free parent coaching or masterclasses)

Money is one of the biggest sources of conflict in marriage—but it doesn't have to be. In this episode, Dr. Kim sits down with financial coaches Dan and Kay Ockey to talk about why money is so much more than numbers. They unpack how family backgrounds, emotions, communication, and faith all shape the way couples handle finances. You'll also hear practical steps for getting on the same page, creating healthy financial habits, and replacing fear with faithful stewardship. Whether you're trying to pay off debt, build a budget, or simply have better conversations about money, this episode will encourage you to work as a team and steward what God has entrusted to you with confidence and purpose. Episode Highlights: Money is emotional. Learn how your past influences the way you spend, save, and give today. Communication changes everything.

Stewardship starts with trust. See how viewing your finances through God's perspective can bring greater peace and purpose. Quotes from this Episode: Dr. Kim Kimberling "Money can quietly create stress and distance in a marriage if we're not intentional." "Take a chance. Throw caution to the wind and say, 'God, I'm all in.' You'll see Him show up." "A budget doesn't restrict your freedom—it gives you freedom because you know where your money is going." "Your kids are watching your marriage. The way you steward your relationship becomes their textbook for the future." Dan Ockey "Most couples agree on where they want to go—they just disagree on how to get there." "Everything we have belongs to God. Isn't it worth taking 20 minutes each week to talk about how we're stewarding it?" "Data over drama. Acknowledge the emotions, then let the numbers show you reality." "When we approach money with fear, we make fear-based decisions. When we approach it with faith, we become better stewards." "The long-term consequences of hiding financial struggles are far worse than the short-term pain of an honest conversation." Kay Ockey "Money isn't just dollars and cents. There's so much emotion underneath every financial decision." "The timing of your communication is huge. Don't spring financial conversations on your spouse." "A simple weekly financial check-in can completely change the way you communicate about money." "Just because you're an adult doesn't mean you automatically know how to handle money. It's a skill that can be learned." "When you're overwhelmed, don't lose sight of having a goal that gives you hope and something to work toward together." Time to Talk About it: What messages about money did you learn growing up, and how do they still influence the way you handle finances today?

Mainstream science ignores the signals, but independent researchers and mystics are intercepting data streams directly from the cosmos. In this provocative episode, TruthSeekah and Toni Ghazi examine the phenomenon of high level Cosmic Downloads and Starseeds bypassing conventional human channels entirely. What happens when a human mind becomes a living antenna for the Antares Star System ETs?We analyze the mechanics of channeling, exploring how the Mantis Aliens Message is encoded into frequency, light language, and geometric symbols that redefine human capability. Critics label it mental illness or delusion, yet the technological and spiritual insights delivered through these channels often predate modern scientific discoveries by decades. Why are academic institutions so terrified of non human intelligence? How does the establishment suppress the distribution of free energy concepts and higher dimensional awareness channeled by figures connected to the Praying Mantis Collective?This conversation highlights the censorship faced by modern truth seekers and offers an empowering roadmap for anyone experiencing spontaneous psychic openings. By combining rigorous inquiry with esoteric wisdom, this episode bridges the gap between hard science and mystical revelation. Listen closely as Toni Ghazi breaks down the exact protocols required to safely anchor these intense galactic frequencies into physical reality without losing your balance in the process.✨ Download Our FREE Throne Room Meditation✨ ➡️ https://www.truthseekah.com ➡️Join our online community at https://www.truthseekah.com ➡️ Support on Patreon! https://patreon.com/join/truthseekah✅ Get access to 40+ video lessons + Weekly LIVE calls!✅ Worldwide Online Community!✅ Courses, Monthly Webinars, Prayer, Meditation, Discussion✅ TruthSeekah's Meditation Library

Performance debt builds while you are still succeeding. Learn how hidden costs erode your clarity, recovery, relationships, and future capacity. Performance Debt: Why Success Can Hide the Warning Signs The most dangerous stage of burnout is not when you can no longer perform. It is when you are still performing well enough to believe nothing is wrong. You are still working. Still training. Still handling problems. People continue to depend on you because you have given them every reason to believe you can carry the weight. But something has changed. Decisions require more effort. Your patience is thinner. Training feels mechanical rather than energizing. You are physically present with the people who matter, but part of you is somewhere else—recovering from the day or preparing for the next demand. Nothing has collapsed, so you tell yourself you are fine. That is how performance debt remains hidden. What Is Performance Debt? Performance debt is the accumulated cost of repeatedly sacrificing recovery, alignment, emotional regulation, and sustainable habits to maintain short-term performance. Put more simply, it is what builds when you keep borrowing from your future capacity to perform today. One difficult week does not necessarily create the problem. There will always be seasons that require longer hours, harder training, greater responsibility, and a willingness to push beyond what feels comfortable. Human performance depends partly on our capacity to rise when the moment demands it. The debt begins when the exception becomes the operating model. You stop recovering fully because there is always another deadline. You ignore physical warning signs because the workout still gets completed. You suppress frustration because other people need you to remain composed. You continue carrying responsibilities that should have been shared, changed, or released. Each decision appears reasonable by itself. Collectively, they begin consuming the capacity required to sustain the life you have built. Why Success Conceals the Cost Visible output is a lagging indicator. It tells you what you produced, but it does not reveal what producing it required. You can meet the deadline while losing strategic clarity. You can complete the workout while recovering more slowly. You can take care of everyone around you while becoming increasingly disconnected from yourself. This is especially dangerous for capable men because competence creates room for compensation. Your intelligence helps you solve problems even when your focus is deteriorating. Discipline allows you to override fatigue. Responsibility gives you an honorable reason to continue. Emotional control helps you conceal the pressure from everyone around you. The very qualities that helped you succeed can become the qualities that hide your performance debt. Other people may even reinforce the pattern. They praise your dependability, admire your work ethic, and continue bringing you problems because you always find a way to handle them. They benefit from your output without seeing its private cost. Eventually, “I am the man who handles it” becomes more than a statement of capability. It becomes a role you are afraid to question. The Interest Payments Begin Before Burnout Performance debt rarely announces itself through one dramatic event. It collects interest through small changes you can easily rationalize. Mentally, decisions take longer and your strategic range begins to narrow. You remain capable of solving immediate problems, but it becomes harder to step back, consider alternatives, or see beyond the next demand. Emotionally, irritability increases while your emotional range flattens. You may believe you are remaining controlled, but the people closest to you experience that control as distance, impatience, or withdrawal. Physically, sleep provides less restoration. Soreness lingers. Your nervous system stays activated even when the external demand has ended. You continue training, but the session becomes another obligation rather than a practice that builds strength and restores connection. Relationally, conversations start feeling like additional demands. The people you care about receive your presence in fragments and whatever energy remains after work, responsibility, and internal pressure have taken their share. None of these signals proves that you are failing. They reveal that maintaining your current level of performance is becoming more expensive. (function(d,s,id) { var js; var fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "https://forms.aweber.com/form/30/1374258830.js"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, "script", "aweber-wjs-1506684634")); Performance Debt Is Not the Same as Burnout Performance debt and burnout are related, but they are not interchangeable. Performance debt is the accumulating liability. Burnout is one possible consequence when that liability can no longer be hidden, carried, or serviced. The debt begins much earlier—often while a man is still succeeding and receiving praise for how well he is handling everything. This distinction matters because it creates an opportunity for earlier recognition. You do not need to diagnose every difficult month as burnout. You also do not need to wait until you are exhausted, disengaged, or unable to function before admitting that your way of operating has become unsustainable. Performance debt accumulates before performance visibly declines. Recognizing it early allows you to protect capacity instead of waiting until you must rebuild after a breakdown. What Physical Training Reveals About Sustainable Performance Physical training makes this principle difficult to deny. A demanding CrossFit session, a heavy strength cycle, or a steep mountain climb creates stress. When that stress is followed by adequate recovery, the body adapts. Muscle is rebuilt, movement becomes more efficient, and your capacity increases. But repeated overload without sufficient recovery produces a different result. Movement begins to compensate. Technique deteriorates. Soreness remains longer. The body finds ways to complete the work, but those compensations quietly increase the risk of injury. You may still finish the workout. That does not mean the training is producing the intended adaptation. The same thing happens mentally and emotionally. You compensate for reduced clarity by working longer. You compensate for exhaustion with caffeine, urgency, and adrenaline. You compensate for emotional disconnection by becoming more controlled and task-oriented. For a while, the compensation works. Eventually, it becomes another source of strain. The body does not interpret relentless pressure as character. It responds according to stress, capacity, recovery, and adaptation. Your mind, emotional system, and relationships are not exempt from that equation. Strength creates growth when paired with recovery. Without recovery, strength begins consuming itself. When Your Best Qualities Become Expensive Discipline is not the enemy. Responsibility is not the enemy. Resilience and emotional control are not the enemy. The problem is what happens when these strengths operate without discernment. Discipline without recovery becomes self-neglect. Responsibility without boundaries becomes overfunctioning. Emotional control without connection becomes withdrawal. Resilience without discernment becomes the ability to tolerate conditions that should have been confronted or changed. A strength is valuable because it serves a meaningful purpose. When it is used automatically—regardless of context, cost, or consequence—it stops being a conscious strength and becomes an identity-driven pattern. You may recognize this during training. There are days when pushing through discomfort builds confidence and capacity. There are other days when pushing through is simply an unwillingness to admit that your body needs a different response. The movement may look identical from the outside. The internal truth is completely different. The same discernment must be applied to the rest of your life. Carrying more is not always evidence that you are becoming stronger. Sometimes it is evidence that you have not permitted yourself to put anything down. Recovery Alone Will Not Eliminate the Debt A weekend away may reduce immediate strain. A lighter training week may help your body recover. A vacation may create enough distance for you to breathe again. Those things matter, but temporary recovery does not automatically change the pattern that created the debt. If your identity still depends on being needed, you will return and begin carrying everything again. If you believe rest must be earned, recovery will remain the first thing sacrificed when pressure rises. If your worth is tied to output, any reduction in activity will feel like weakness rather than intelligent performance management. You do not eliminate financial debt by making one payment while continuing the same spending pattern. Performance debt works the same way. Recovery must be accompanied by a change in how performance is produced. That may require clearer boundaries, different priorities, more honest communication, better physical recovery, or the willingness to question goals that no longer align with the man you are becoming. The objective is not temporary relief. It is a more sustainable operating model. Audit the Cost Beneath Your Results Begin with the question most high performers already ask: What results am I producing? Answer it honestly and factually. Look at your work, training, responsibilities, relationships, and commitments. Acknowledge what is functioning without minimizing your accomplishments. Then ask the question that is usually ignored: What is it costing me to produce these results? Look beyond time and effort. Consider the mental, emotional, physical, and relational costs. Where are the interest payments appearing first? What feels heavier, slower, flatter, or more reactive than it did six months ago? Finally, ask: Is my current way of operating sustainable? Do not base your answer on whether you can survive another week. You probably can. Ask whether the same model can support your health, performance, relationships, and sense of purpose for the next year. There is also a fourth question, and it may be the most revealing: What have I already noticed but continued to override? Performance debt loses much of its power when the cost becomes visible and specific. You can no longer call the pattern strength once you clearly see how it is consuming the very capacity that strength is supposed to protect. Sustainable Performance Requires Integrated Strength The answer is not to become less ambitious, less disciplined, or less capable. It is to stop using your capability in a way that steadily destroys your capacity. Sustainable human performance requires pressure and recovery, discipline and discernment, responsibility and boundaries, control and connection. These qualities are not opposites. They are complementary forces that keep strength from becoming fragmented. Imagine carrying the same important responsibilities without the constant internal friction. Imagine training hard while knowing when intensity builds capacity and when it merely feeds an outdated identity. Imagine being present with the people who matter without feeling that their needs are another demand you must manage. That is not reduced performance. It is performance built on a stronger foundation. Your ability to keep going is not proof that your current way of operating is sustainable. The deeper measure is whether your physical strength, mental clarity, emotional resilience, relationships, and sense of purpose remain available while you pursue what matters. Your future capacity is not an unlimited line of credit. The work is not simply to keep performing. It is to become the man who can sustain what matters without consuming himself to do it. Rebuild the Capacity Beneath Your Performance If you recognize the hidden cost beneath your results, the Resilient Man Framework will help you examine the structure supporting your performance. It is built around four interconnected areas—physical strength, mental clarity, emotional resilience, and meaningful purpose—so you can identify where performance debt is accumulating and begin creating strength that remains available when pressure rises. Frequently Asked Questions What is performance debt in simple terms? Performance debt is the hidden cost that accumulates when you repeatedly sacrifice recovery, clarity, emotional regulation, relationships, or alignment to maintain immediate results. It is similar to borrowing money: you receive something useful today but create an obligation that must eventually be repaid. The difference is that the repayment may appear as mental fatigue, slower physical recovery, irritability, reduced focus, or burnout. One intense period does not automatically create debt. The problem develops when borrowing from future capacity becomes your normal way of performing. How is performance debt different from burnout? Performance debt begins while you are still functioning and may still be performing successfully. Burnout is one possible later consequence when the accumulated cost becomes too large to hide or manage. A person carrying debt may continue meeting deadlines, training, leading, and fulfilling responsibilities, although doing so requires increasing effort. Someone experiencing burnout may show more visible exhaustion, detachment, cynicism, or reduced effectiveness. The distinction matters because recognizing the accumulating cost early creates an opportunity to adjust before a significant decline or breakdown occurs. What are the early warning signs of performance debt? Early signs include needing more effort to produce the same result, slower decisions, fragmented focus, lingering physical soreness, reduced patience, emotional withdrawal, and difficulty being present in relationships. You may also notice that training feels mechanical, sleep restores less energy, or time away provides only temporary relief. None of these signs alone confirms a serious problem. The meaningful pattern is a rising internal cost combined with continued external performance. When several areas begin deteriorating while output remains intact, your operating model deserves an honest examination. Can discipline contribute to performance debt? Discipline can contribute when it is used to override every physical, emotional, or relational signal instead of helping you respond intelligently. Healthy discipline supports consistent action, recovery, and meaningful priorities. Misaligned discipline treats rest as weakness, ignores declining capacity, and demands continued output regardless of the cost. The issue is not discipline itself but discipline without discernment. A demanding workout can develop resilience when the body is prepared for it. The same workout can deepen exhaustion when it is performed only to prove that you never back down. Can rest eliminate accumulated performance debt? Rest can reduce immediate strain, but it may not correct the pattern responsible for the debt. A vacation, deload week, or quiet weekend can restore some energy. However, if you return to unclear boundaries, excessive responsibility, emotional suppression, or an identity built entirely around achievement, the same debt will begin accumulating again. Sustainable recovery requires both restoration and recalibration. You must restore neglected capacity while changing how you produce results. Otherwise, rest becomes a temporary payment made against a liability that continues growing. How can I begin reducing performance debt? Start by identifying what your current results are costing you mentally, physically, emotionally, and relationally. Notice where the interest appears first and which warning signs you have been overriding because you can still function. Next, distinguish temporary demands from recurring patterns. Reducing the debt may involve better recovery, clearer boundaries, fewer unnecessary commitments, honest conversations, or changing goals that no longer fit. The purpose is not to withdraw from challenge. It is to create an integrated way of performing that builds capacity instead of continually borrowing from it.
"The approval rating marks a new low for Trump's presidency in the center's polling. A CNN survey conducted within the same period reported an approval rating of 34 percent for the president. Seventy-six percent of GOP respondents in the July survey approved of Trump's job performance, while 12 percent disapproved. The results are a notable difference from the university's June 24 poll, in which 85 percent of Republicans expressed confidence in the president." David Katz will join us to discuss the top stories of the week.

That child who waits for you to start every sentence? In this replay I sit down with SLP Alexandria Zachos — founder of Meaningful Speech — to talk about how years of prompting quietly create prompt dependence, and how silence, connection, and a child-led approach help gestalt language processors find their own spontaneous voice. Prompting doesn't lead to spontaneous language. Connection, silence, and meeting a child where they are do. Gestalt language processing (GLP) is a normal, natural way of developing language — just a different path than the analytic, word-by-word route most of us were taught. Alex walks us through what it actually is, how the stages unfold from delayed echolalia to flexible, novel grammar, and why so many kids we've labeled "echolalic" or "scripting" are simply gestalt language processors who need a different kind of support. We also dig into the hard truth about prompting — why fill-in-the-blank, cloze phrases, and always initiating for a child can lead to prompt dependence — and what to do instead: natural language modeling, honoring all communication, and trusting silence to make room for language to emerge. We'll talk about: ● what gestalt language processing is — and why it isn't a disorder ● the six stages of gestalt language development, from delayed echolalia to complex grammar ● how prompting and compliance-based strategies create prompt dependence over time ● why our ultimate goal is spontaneous, flexible, multimodal communication ● how silence, connection, and being a trusted communication partner change everything ● why it's never too late for an older child who has become prompt dependent In This Episode, You'll Learn • What gestalt language processing is, and how it differs from analytic language development • How the stages unfold — delayed echolalia, mitigated echolalia, the "magic" word-freeing stage, and grammar • Why delayed echolalia is always communicating something, even when it isn't literal • How to do "detective work" to figure out what a child's gestalt actually means • Why years of prompting and cloze phrases lead to prompt dependence, not spontaneous language • What targeted natural language modeling looks like across communicative functions • Why "the change starts with us," not with fixing the child • How silence and the OWL approach (Observe, Wait, Listen) create space for language to emerge • Why acknowledging all communication — a smile, a nod, a repeat — builds the trust language grows from Key Takeaways • Gestalt language processing is a natural way of developing language, not a disorder • Delayed echolalia is meaningful — it's communicating something worth investigating • Prompting does not build spontaneous communicators; child-led support does • Our goal is spontaneous, flexible, novel communication — including through AAC • Change starts with what we model and how we respond, not with the child • Silence is a strategy: spontaneous language emerges when the pressure is off • Acknowledge all communication to build the relationship and trust • Use a child's own gestalts — and put them into AAC — for instant buy-in • It's never too late for an older, prompt-dependent child Try This • Notice how often you prompt, question, or fill in the blank — then try saying less • Use the OWL approach: observe, wait, and listen before you speak • Let silence sit; follow the child's lead and join what they love • Acknowledge every attempt to communicate with a repeat, a smile, or a nod • Model language naturally instead of asking the child to perform it • When you hear a gestalt, do some detective work to learn what it means • Add a child's gestalts into their AAC device for automatic buy-in • With an older prompt-dependent child, plan low-pressure sessions to rebuild trust first Related Resources & Links
How do you feel when someone "calls you out" for something you've done… or maybe something you haven't done? For me, there have been times when, instead of simply hearing what they're saying, I begin searching through my mental files for evidence that they've made mistakes too."You think I did that? Well, let me remind you of what you did."Most of us would never admit that we keep score in our relationships, but we do. Every relationship has a scorecard. The question isn't whether we're keeping score. The question is: What are we counting?Are we counting every disappointment, forgotten promise, insensitive comment, and moment when the other person fell short? Or are we counting the times they showed up, made an effort, apologized, grew, encouraged us, and got it right?The truth is, we're the ones who decide what we count.Giving credit doesn't mean ignoring hurtful behavior or avoiding honest conversations. Healthy relationships require accountability. But accountability is very different from keeping a running total of everything another person has ever done wrong.Giving credit means recognizing effort. It means noticing progress instead of demanding perfection. It means becoming aware of our natural tendency to focus more on what's wrong than what's right.Check out our latest episode on the Relationshifts podcast, where we talk about what it means to stop keeping score and start giving credit.Before adding another mark to someone's scorecard, pause and ask yourself:What am I choosing to count?Look for the effort. Acknowledge the improvement. Give credit for the progress, even when there's still room to grow. The scorecard in every relationship will never be completely balanced. We will all disappoint one another. We will all need grace.When we choose to shift from keeping score to giving credit, we will make a difference.Larry

A Parenting Resource for Children’s Behavior and Mental Health
Parents often correct behavior before calming the brain—and that's why it backfires. Discover the parenting order that works and learn how small changes in timing can reduce power struggles and build cooperation. Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, creator of Regulation First Parenting™, helps families understand emotional dysregulation so lasting change can begin.If every request seems to turn into an argument, you're not alone. The parenting order that works can transform how you respond to your child's biggest meltdowns by helping you stop power struggles before they spiral.Why does my child get more upset when I correct them during a meltdown?When your child is dysregulated, their nervous system is in survival mode. They're not refusing to listen because they're stubborn—they simply can't access the thinking part of their brain yet.Behavior is communication. That's why correcting, lecturing, or adding consequences in the middle of an emotional storm usually makes things worse instead of better.Key takeaways:A dysregulated brain can't learn new lessons.Correction during a meltdown increases resistance.Calming the brain must come first.Real-life example: Imagine asking your child to start homework. They yell, slam the door, and you respond with a stricter tone. Suddenly you're both escalating instead of solving the problem.Why do simple requests turn into huge power struggles?Many parents believe the problem is defiance. In reality, it's often timing.When both you and your child become emotionally activated, you're caught in a cycle of co-dysregulation. Neither nervous system is ready for learning, problem-solving, or cooperation.Instead of reacting:Pause before responding.Lower your voice instead of raising it.Say less, not more.Give both nervous systems time to settle.You're not failing as a parent. You've simply never been taught the right order.
In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about the invisible weight carried by the people behind the badge — the spouses, the children, and the families who hold everything together while the first responder is on shift, recovering from shift, or mentally still on shift even when they are physically home. This episode is not about blame. It is about visibility. Because the mental load that first responder families carry is real, it is significant, and in most households it goes completely unacknowledged — not because the first responder does not care, but because the nature of the job makes it genuinely difficult to see what is happening on the other side of the front door.
What if your relationship struggles aren’t just personal—but shaped by the systems you live in? Akilah Riley Richardson returns to explore how systemic trauma quietly shapes our relationships, nervous systems, and sense of self. Drawing from her work with marginalized couples, she introduces the concept of relational privilege and explains why healing cannot be separated from the social systems we live in. Together, Akilah and Sue challenge traditional Western therapy models, discuss the importance of “responsible externalizing,” and explore how therapists can create space for grief, imagination, and genuine connection instead of trying to fix what cannot simply be solved. “The experiences of marginalized people are often devalued even by helping professionals, and this text is my dedication to carving a space where we, as practitioners, can ensure that we are of service in a way that is rooted in the realities of our people. It is also a reflection of my obligation to marginalized couples and individuals. My sincere wish for them all is that they are never harmed in therapy but instead uplifted. ” – Akilah Riley-Richardson Time Stamps for The Hidden Weight of Systemic Trauma: How Oppression Shapes Our Relationships with Akilah Riley-Richardson (306) 02:05 The systemic trauma faced by marginalized couples 04:12 Barriers for global south therapists and voices 08:00 Fear, threat, and navigating space as a marginalized person 09:57 Relational privilege and systemic influence 12:03 The role of colonial Christianity in systemic trauma 17:50 The danger of model dogmatism in therapy 20:06 Neurobiological threat and systemic trauma 22:02 Practicing responsible externalizing in therapy 26:07 The grief of systemic trauma and loss 28:04 The limitations of evidence-based models 29:58 The need for imagination and community in healing 31:47 The concept of lostness and liminality in trauma 34:06 The danger of attachment to models and frameworks 35:59 Differentiating systemic from relational reality 38:10 Yoruba and indigenous healing traditions 41:59 The influence of colonialism and imperialism on therapy 43:53 Acknowledge systemic trauma in therapist self-awareness 49:57 Habits of survival and internalized oppression 51:52 The impact of systemic trauma on body and mind About our Guest – Akilah Riley-Richardson, MSW, CCTP Akilah Riley-Richardson, MSW, CCTP is a dedicated therapist, educator, and researcher with several years of experience.

https://teachhoops.com/ TeachHoops Podcast Show NotesEpisode Title Soccer Fans Waited 106 Minutes for One Goal. You Can't Handle a 45 Second Possession? Spain just won the World Cup 1-0 with the only goal coming in the 106th minute, and over a billion people called it a masterpiece. Meanwhile, if a high school team holds the ball for 45 seconds, the gym loses its mind and the shot clock debate explodes all over again. In this episode, Coach Collins uses the biggest sporting event on the planet to take a hard, honest look at the shot clock argument: what the critics get wrong, what they get right, why tempo control is a strategy and not a crime, and how to actually coach late clock situations whether your state has a clock or not. If you coach at a school that doesn't reload with talent every year, this one is for you. The World Cup final was two hours of patience, tension, and one moment of quality. Nobody demanded soccer speed up. Basketball gets no such grace. Coach breaks down why the stall is strategy, why the shot clock rewards rosters more than coaching, why the clock is coming anyway, and the specific skills coaches need to teach to win with one. 00:00 | Cold Open: The Most Watched 1-0 Game in History Spain 1, Argentina 0. Scoreless through 90 minutes. Ferran Torres finally scores in the 106th minute of extra time. Argentina finishes the World Cup final with zero shots on goal. And the world called it beautiful. Set the hook: why does soccer get celebrated for patience while basketball gets crucified for it? 05:30 | The Double Standard Scarcity creates drama. Tension creates drama. Soccer fans understand that every scoring chance matters BECAUSE scoring is rare. Basketball somewhere decided more shots equals better basketball. Push back on that. More shots just equals more shots. 11:00 | What the Stall Actually Is (A Coach's Defense of Tempo) Personal stories from 30 years at Memorial. Times I held the ball. Times it was held on me. Why slowing the game down is the great equalizer for the shorter team, the undermanned team, the school without the AAU pipeline. Strategy, not cowardice. 19:00 | The Uncomfortable Truth About Who the Shot Clock Helps The clock does not reward good coaching. It rewards good rosters. Walk through it honestly: force a shot every 35 seconds and the more talented team wins more often, period. If you coach at a have-not program, the clock takes a weapon out of your hands. 26:00 | The Other Side of the Argument (Being Fair About It) Steelman the pro clock case. Players want to play the way they watch. Every level above high school uses one. Recruiting and player development arguments. End of game farming and intentional fouling ugliness that the clock genuinely cleans up. Acknowledge what's real here. 33:00 | The Clock Is Coming. Now What? The debate is basically over in most states, so stop fighting yesterday's war. The coaches who win with a shot clock are the ones who start TEACHING it. Late clock offense sets. Time and score situations as a daily drill, not a February surprise. Defending the last 8 seconds of the clock. Turning the clock into YOUR weapon. 41:00 | Practice Ideas This Week Three specific things to install: a 10 seconds left "get a good one" action, a scripted possession value drill where turnovers cost double, and a defensive late clock scramble drill. Keep it concrete so coaches leave with homework. 47:00 | The Real Lesson From Sunday The final wasn't great because of shot volume. It was great because two teams executed under pressure for two hours and one moment of quality decided it. That's the standard with or without a clock: value the ball, treat every possession like currency, patience is a weapon and panic is a choice. 50:00 | Wrap Up and CTA "Spain didn't score for 105 minutes and won the whole thing. Your team can survive a 58 second possession." "The shot clock doesn't reward good coaching. It rewards good rosters." "Scarcity creates drama. When scoring is hard, every possession means something." "The coaches who win with a shot clock are the ones who stop complaining about it and start teaching it." Tempo control is strategy, and it's the underdog's best weapon. The shot clock helps talented rosters more than it helps good coaches. The pro clock arguments are real too: player development, cleaner endings, alignment with every higher level. The debate is ending, so shift your energy from arguing to installing late clock offense and defense. Every possession is currency. Teach it that way in practice, every day.

It's hard to believe we're already halfway through 2026. One thing I've learned over the years is that time is going to keep moving whether we're paying attention or not. That's why I've made it a habit to set annual goals, revisit them regularly, and share my progress publicly. At the end of 2025, I shared my personal and business goals for 2026. Now that we've reached the halfway point of the year, it's time for a check-in. In this episode, I'm giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what's working, what's not, what goals are on track, and where I need to refocus for the second half of the year. We'll talk about everything from health goals and reducing stress to business growth, podcast downloads, content creation, and the realities of running a business in today's economy. My hope is that this episode encourages you to pause and do your own mid-year review. Because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is stop, reflect, and make intentional adjustments before the year gets away from you. In this episode, we discuss: Progress toward my personal health and wellness goals What I've learned about slowing down, reducing stress, and prioritizing recovery My progress toward maxing out my Roth IRA in 2026 Why my honeymoon and wedding plans have shifted Efforts to reduce screen time and be more intentional with technology What the first half of 2026 has taught me about managing a full life The current state of City Girl Savings and our business goals Revenue, profitability, and navigating economic uncertainty Podcast growth, content creation, and audience building Why consistency matters even when results take longer than expected The mindset I'm carrying into the second half of the year This episode is especially helpful if you: Set goals at the beginning of the year and haven't revisited them Feel behind on your personal or financial goals Want motivation to reset and refocus for the second half of the year Are working toward health, money, or business goals Need a reminder that progress isn't always linear Want a realistic look at what goal pursuit actually looks like Why this matters: Too many people treat goals like a January activity. They set ambitious intentions, get excited for a few weeks, and then never revisit them until December. But real progress happens when you're willing to check in honestly along the way. A mid-year review isn't about judging yourself for what hasn't happened yet. It's about recognizing what's working, acknowledging what needs adjustment, and deciding how you want to move forward. Some goals will be ahead of schedule. Some will be behind. Some may need to change entirely. That's not failure. That's life. The goal isn't perfection. The goal is staying engaged with the life you're trying to build. Often, the willingness to reassess and adjust is what ultimately creates the results you're looking for. Timestamps: [02:21] Raya breaks down her progress on her first personal goal of 2026 – improving her health for long-term functioning. This goal was harder to measure, but indicators of growth exist. [06:03] Raya's honeymoon and courthouse wedding timeframe has been pushed out. This goal likely will not be achieved in 2026. [10:57] After 5 months of no breaks in daily workouts, Raya learned she needs to prioritize recovery (which means more frequent traveling)!

You don't need to wait until January to reset. You don't need a perfect first half of the year to have a strong second half. The truth is, most meaningful progress doesn't happen in a straight line. Some goals move faster than expected. Others take longer. Some priorities shift completely because life shifts. One of the biggest lessons I've learned over the years is that goals aren't just about achieving an outcome. They're about who you become in the process. They're about building consistency, learning from setbacks, making adjustments, and continuing to move forward even when things don't go exactly according to plan. So if you've fallen behind in an area of your life, give yourself permission to be honest about where you are without judging yourself for it. Then decide what the next best step looks like from here. Maybe that means recommitting to a goal. Maybe it means adjusting the goal. Maybe it means celebrating progress you've overlooked because you're too focused on what hasn't happened yet. Whatever your situation, don't let the first half of the year determine the second half. Take time to reflect. Acknowledge how far you've come. Make the adjustments you need to make. Then keep building. Remember: You are not behind…you are building. Consistency compounds. The steady work you're doing now is shaping your next level.
