Ryan Connolly, Head of Marketing at Hidden Iceland, shares how his company transformed from serving all market segments to focusing exclusively on premium and luxury private tours. The pivotal decision to cut small group tours (which represented 50% of departures but only 10% of revenue) allowed Hidden Iceland to grow by 5% while improving quality and profitability. Ryan discusses how relationship marketing drives 70% of their bookings directly (without OTAs), why they lead with education when working with travel advisors, and how PR outperforms paid advertising for luxury sales. He also reveals his background working in finance before a three year journey across 40 countries led him to become a glacier guide in Iceland, where he met his wife on a tour and co-founded the company with two partners.Top 10 Takeaways for Tour Operators1. Cut unprofitable segments ruthlesslySmall group tours accounted for 50% of Hidden Iceland's departures but only 10% of revenue. After eliminating that segment, they grew 5% by focusing resources on premium and luxury private tours where margins are higher.2. Partner with competitors instead of viewing them as threatsWhen customers can't afford Hidden Iceland's luxury pricing, Ryan personally introduces them to partner companies that serve the budget segment. This maintains relationships and positions them as helpful experts rather than pushy salespeople.3. PR drives better ROI than paid ads for high ticket salesOver 450 articles in publications like Condé Nast, Forbes, and CNN have driven 70% direct bookings. For luxury trips ($20,000+), earned media builds trust better than Facebook or Google ads.4. Lead with personal story in first customer contactRyan's initial email starts: "Hello, my name is Ryan. I'm originally Scottish. I've lived in Iceland since 2016. I originally trained as a glacier guide..." This builds immediate trust and differentiates from transactional competitors.5. Educate travel advisors. Don't just sell to themHidden Iceland runs webinars teaching agents about Iceland's seasons, distances, and what each time of year offers. Not sales pitches. The education first approach builds meaningful advisor relationships that generate 30% of bookings.6. Vet activity partners on safety and environmental standardsBefore partnering with snowmobile companies, helicopter tours, or other providers, Hidden Iceland shares their own safety and environmental policies first, then asks partners to reciprocate. This creates collaboration, not just transactions.7. Train guides to be themselves, not follow scriptsInstead of teaching guides what to say at each stop, Hidden Iceland tells them: "Be yourself in the most authentic way possible and create genuine connections." This leads to reviews that praise the guide more than the destination.8. Choose conferences strategically. Avoid the herdRyan skips luxury travel conferences if more than 2 or 3 other Iceland companies will attend. Less competition means easier differentiation and more meaningful conversations with travel advisors.9. Keep the sales process low tech and high touchDespite having a CRM (LEMACS), Hidden Iceland puts key itinerary details in the body of emails and offers phone calls early. For luxury clients, human connection trumps slick automation.10. Build the business with partners you trust implicitlyRyan emphasizes: "Don't set up a company with anyone you don't trust inherently and that you believe will communicate effectively during the hardest times." Through pandemics and volcanic eruptions, Hidden Iceland's three owners have never shouted at each other because they chose partnership carefully.

The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommends moving more, sitting less and getting children as young as three to be active. The guidelines also stress that any amount and any type of activity improves health. As cold weather begins to settle it and days get shorter, it's often more difficult to be physically active. According to K-State Research and Extension northeast area family and consumer sciences specialist and state coordinator of Walk Kansas, Sharolyn Jackson, that's when we need to make a conscious decision to be physically active.

When a mother and daughter set out to meet family after a string of heartbreaking losses, nothing felt unusual—until the daughter calmly announced she knew exactly where they were… because a lonely cemetery was “waiting.” The same cemetery she'd visited years earlier. The same graves she insisted still needed “company.” The campsite was remote. Quiet. Forgettable. But something else was there. Only after everything unfolded did the truth settle in: this was the same spot where a beloved family member's ashes had been scattered. The same spirit whose necklace vanished… then reappeared at home as if gently returned. This wasn't a haunting meant to terrify. It was a message. A reminder. A visitation wrapped in cold air and restless fabric. Some spirits stay close. Some just want to say they're still here. #ghoststories #campingghost #paranormalencounter #familyspirit #hauntedcampsite #realghoststory #supernaturalactivity #ghostencounter #sleepingbagpulled #creepyexperience #spiritcommunication #truehaunting Love real ghost stories?

Bienvenue sur Sensées, le format audio de ma newsletter hebdomadaire. Chaque semaine, je vous partage avec authenticité des conseils de leadership féminin, des expériences vécues et toute l'énergie dont vous avez besoin pour réussir avec confiance et sérénité.Cette semaine : Deux outils essentiels pour traverser une période difficile et retrouver votre stabilité émotionnelle.Dans cet épisode de Sensées, Jenny Chammas, mastercoach certifiée et fondatrice de Coachappy, explore deux outils puissants pour traverser une période difficile avec plus de conscience, de stabilité et de douceur. Au travail comme dans la vie privée, chacune de nous vit des moments de vulnérabilité : inquiétudes pour les enfants, maladie d'un parent, séparations, transitions, déménagements, deuils… Autant de situations personnelles qui pèsent sur l'état émotionnel et rendent le quotidien professionnel plus exigeant. Cet épisode propose une manière simple, accessible et profonde d'accueillir ce que vous vivez pour mieux traverser une période difficile sans vous épuiser.Nous avons tendance à refouler, minimiser ou ignorer les émotions qui émergent dans ces moments. Pourtant, lorsqu'elles ne sont pas reconnues, elles s'impriment dans le corps, amplifient la fatigue mentale et altèrent la qualité de nos actions et de nos décisions. Les femmes leaders que nous accompagnons en témoignent chaque semaine : la surcharge émotionnelle est souvent un poids invisible qui impacte directement leur charge mentale, leur concentration et leur bien-être au travail.Dans cet épisode, Jenny partage deux outils essentiels à intégrer dans votre quotidien :Saisir sa chance infime pour accueillir ses émotions.Même les journées les plus chargées recèlent cinq minutes pour respirer, fermer les yeux et observer ce qui se passe en vous. Localiser l'émotion dans le corps, décrire sa texture, visualiser sa couleur : autant de micro-rituels qui permettent de remettre de la distance, de l'apaisement et de la présence. Ce geste simple est l'un des moyens les plus efficaces pour traverser une période difficile sans se couper de soi.L'écriture du flot de pensées.Écrire ce que votre esprit produit sans filtre ni logique est un outil de clarté remarquable. Le flot de pensées vous aide à décoder vos pensées automatiques, à dissocier faits et interprétations, et à identifier ce qui vous sabote. Cet exercice offre une véritable décantation émotionnelle : il ramène du recul, de la lucidité et la possibilité de choisir vos pensées intentionnelles.Ce que vous saurez faire après écoute :– Accueillir vos émotions sans les fuir ni les minimiser.– Identifier les pensées qui intensifient votre charge mentale.– Comprendre comment une situation personnelle influence votre vie professionnelle.– Utiliser l'écriture comme outil de régulation émotionnelle.– Mettre en place des micro-actions pour soutenir votre bien-être au travail.Ces outils sont au cœur de notre méthode dans le programme Sensées.

Don and Tom take a sharp look at Vanguard's surprising new direction, especially the decision to fold annuities into 401(k) target-date funds through lightly regulated collective trusts. They contrast Vanguard's historical simplicity with today's trend toward complexity, comparing costs, structure, and risk across major providers. Listeners call in with questions about Roth conversions, Schwab target-date funds, entering the market after a forced delay, and whether TIPS or buffered ETFs are worth owning. Throughout, Don and Tom hammer home the fundamentals: low costs matter, complexity harms investors, active management rarely pays, and your stock/bond mix—not gimmicks—drives long-term success. 0:04 Opening and setup: Vanguard's recent drift toward complex products 1:03 Vanguard's dominance in target-date funds and why simplicity used to be the point 1:58 Vanguard adding annuities into 401(k) target-date funds — is this helping anyone? 3:11 What does an annuity inside a target-date fund even mean? 4:03 The 25% annuity allocation example and the misleading “8% payout” illusion 5:03 TIAA's role and why annuity costs remain unclear 6:28 Are annuities inside retirement plans a solution in search of a problem? 7:38 The fine print: Vanguard's new collective trusts and weak disclosure requirements 8:20 Why collective investment trusts are lightly regulated and potentially concerning 9:07 Caller: Roth conversions when you're withdrawing to live on — should you stop? 11:32 When Roth conversions lose their benefit and why you need cash for taxes 12:21 Caller: Are Schwab target-date funds worth it in a Roth?

Send us a textWhy in the world does it seem like all my friends and I, all active outdoor women, are injuring our knees and how can we PREVENT knee injuries from happening in our 40s and 50s?? In this episode, Janel sits down with physical therapist Kerry to unpack why midlife women are more injury-prone even when nothing has changed, and what's really happening beneath the surface as hormones shift, muscle changes, fatigue accumulates, and training becomes less intentional. This is a practical, empowering conversation about getting smarter—not backing off—so you can stay strong, resilient, and active for decades to come.I wish I had heard this last year before I tore my meniscus but I am thrilled to now know what to do to reduce my risk of injuring my knee again.

This episode of The Dish on Health IT features Denny Brennan, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Health Data Consortium (MHDC), in conversation with host Tony Schueth, CEO of Point-of-Care Partners (POCP), and co-host Ross Martin, MD, Senior Consultant with POCP. Together, they examine how MHDC is translating national interoperability policy into practical, statewide action, specifically around the CMS-0057 rule.After brief introductions, the conversation quickly turns to MHDC's long history and why it matters. Founded in 1978, before the internet, MHDC guided Massachusetts through nearly every major health IT transition: HIPAA, Meaningful Use, ICD-10, and now interoperability and automation. Denny explains that this continuity has created something rare in healthcare: sustained trust across payers, providers, vendors, regulators, and associations. That trust, he notes, is what allows competitors to work through shared infrastructure problems that no single organization could solve on its own.From there, the discussion turns to why the MHDC community chose to coordinate and support members in their CMS-0057 compliance journey, versus just letting each member organization go it alone. Denny emphasizes that while healthcare is regulated federally, it functions locally. Each state has its own mix of insurers, hospital systems, rules, and market pressures. In Massachusetts, where long-standing relationships already exist, MHDC saw an opportunity to move faster, test real workflows, and generate lessons that could inform efforts far beyond the state.The discussion then moved to how work to improve prior authorization became such a high-priority focus. Denny describes how the process has grown into one of the most disruptive administrative burdens for clinicians. Rules vary by plan, criteria change frequently, and the information providers need is often hard to access in real time. The result is defensive behavior. Offices routinely submit prior authorizations “just in case,” often by fax or phone, simply to avoid denials and treatment delays. That inefficiency, he explains, ripples outward by slowing patient care, driving up providers' overhead, and requiring health plans to spend more time and resources processing and reviewing the required PA alongside the unneeded submissions.The financial impact quickly becomes apparent. Denny points to evidence showing that administrative costs consume a massive share of U.S. healthcare spending, with prior authorization playing a meaningful role. If automation is implemented through a neutral, nonprofit infrastructure, MHDC believes there is a much greater chance that savings will flow back into premiums and public program costs rather than being swallowed by inefficiency.Ross adds an important dose of realism. Prior authorization friction, he notes, is not always accidental. In some cases, operational complexity functions as a utilization control mechanism. That creates a built-in tension between access, cost containment, and patient experience, and helps explain why national reform has moved slowly despite widespread frustration.At that point, the conversation shifts from why this is broken to how MHDC is trying to fix it. Denny walks through MHDC's operating model: convene the full ecosystem early and often. In a recent deep-dive session, roughly 60 representatives from health plans, providers, and the state participated in a working session focused on what an automated prior authorization workflow could realistically look like. MHDC brought a draft framework to the table. The community pressure tested it and surfaced workflow conflicts, operational blind spots, and policy misalignments that no single organization could see on its own.That collaborative process, Denny explains, is the real engine behind adoption. When stakeholders help build the solution themselves, implementation becomes a shared commitment rather than a compliance exercise. It also reduces resistance later because decisions are not delivered top-down. They are constructed collectively.The discussion then turns to FHIR adoption and why, while real, progress has taken time. Denny traces the turning point back to the 21st Century Cures Act, which reframed patient access to health data as a legal right and categorized data blocking as a regulatory violation. That policy shift, combined with the growing maturity of API-based interoperability, created the conditions for real-time data exchange to finally move from theory to practice.Ross provides a historical perspective from the standards side. Earlier generations of health data standards were conceptually elegant but extremely difficult to implement consistently. FHIR changed that equation by aligning healthcare data exchange with the same API-driven architecture that supports the modern web. He points to accelerating real-world adoption, particularly from large EHR platforms, as evidence that FHIR has entered a phase of broad, practical deployment.Although pharmacy prior authorization falls outside the formal scope of CMS 0057, Denny makes clear that MHDC could not ignore it. For many physicians, especially in oncology, dermatology, and primary care, PA for prescriptions is far more frequent and far more disruptive than PAs for medical services. If MHDC solved only one side of the problem, much of the daily burden for clinicians would remain unchanged.Pharmacy prior authorization, however, introduces a new level of complexity. PBMs, pharmacists, prescribing systems, payers, and patients are all involved, often across fragmented workflows. Denny explains that the challenge looks less like a pure technology gap and more like an orchestration problem. It is about getting the right information to the right party at the right moment across multiple handoffs.Ross shares insights from the pharmacy PA research work conducted with MHDC and POCP. One of the most striking findings was the massive year-end renewal surge that hits providers every benefit cycle as authorizations tied to prior coverage suddenly expire. He also reflects on a recent national electronic prior authorization roundtable, where deep stakeholder discussion ultimately led most participants to conclude that today's technology alone still is not sufficient to fully solve pharmacy PA. The tools are improving, but the problem remains deeply multi-layered.As the episode winds down, the tone shifts toward practical calls to action.Denny challenges the industry to separate where competition belongs from where collaboration is essential. Contract negotiations may be adversarial by nature, he notes, but interoperability initiatives cannot succeed under the same mindset. Real progress depends on bringing collaboratively minded people into the room. These are people willing to solve shared infrastructure problems even when their organizations compete elsewhere.Ross builds on that message with a longer-term challenge: sustained participation in standards development. Organizations cannot sit back and hope others shape the future on their behalf. Active involvement in national standards organizations is critical. This is not for immediate quarterly returns, but to influence the systems everyone will be required to use in the years ahead.The episode closes with a clear takeaway. MHDC did not wait for perfect conditions. It moved when the pieces were good enough, tested real workflows with real stakeholders, adjusted in the open, and began sharing lessons nationally. In an industry often slowed by fragmentation and risk aversion, this conversation offers a grounded look at what forward motion actually looks like when collaboration, policy, and technology finally align.You can find this and other episodes of The Dish on Health IT wherever you get your podcasts, including Spotify and Healthcare Now Radio.

He slammed subsidies for unreliable sources like offshore wind, saying some projects cost $11B for 1GW of intermittent power, versus $1–2B for 24/7 reliable supply. Burgum laid into what he called “climate extremists,” accusing them of prioritizing flashy green experiments over building energy systems that actually work. The result is sky-high bills for electricity that cuts out when the weather does, while lawmakers pat themselves on the back for feel-good “net zero” policies that don't add up. Burgum: “A lot of the higher prices that you’re seeing are not related to the AI data centers.

Zelensky met with Macron, Merz, and Starmer to align Europe's position on Ukraine peace talks. The message? If the U.S. steps back, Europe is ready to step up. Macron spoke of “convergence” between Europe, Ukraine, and the U.S., code for: we're not waiting for Trump. Starmer promised “a just and lasting settlement.” Merz framed Ukraine's future as “the destiny of Europe.” This isn't just about Ukraine anymore, it's about Europe's ability to act without Washington.aa the subtext is clear: Europe knows Trump may walk away, and they're preparing for it. Ukraine is only part of the equation, the real test is whether Europe can act without Washington. For the first time since 2022, the center of gravity on Ukraine is shifting eastward, to Paris, Berlin, and London. If Trump wins, the burden of leadership falls on Europe.

A group of former FBI agents has filed a lawsuit against Director Kash Patel and the federal government after being fired for supporting the Black Lives Matter movement. The dozen agents complained that almost immediately upon becoming director of the bureau, Patel began working to terminate all agents who had kneeled in support of the movement. The lawsuit also claims the agents would not have been fired had they had the same perceived political affiliations as those involved in the January 6th protests. Source: thegatewaypundit.com The FBI, as a U.S. federal law enforcement agency under the Department of Justice (DOJ), is required to maintain political neutrality and impartiality in its operations and public actions. It does not take official political stands or engage in activism, as its mission focuses on enforcing federal laws without partisan bias. Individual FBI employees (including agents) are subject to strict restrictions under the Hatch Act, which prohibits most forms of partisan political activity to ensure a neutral federal workforce. FBI personnel are classified as “further restricted” employees, meaning they face additional limitations compared to most other federal workers. Key Prohibitions for FBI EmployeesThese apply at all times (on or off duty) unless otherwise noted, with the goal of preventing any appearance of political influence or coercion: Taking a partisan political stand: They may not endorse or oppose candidates for partisan office or political parties in advertisements, broadcasts, campaign literature, speeches at partisan events, or similar materials if done in coordination with a candidate, party, or partisan group. Pushing partisan activism: Active participation in partisan political management or campaigns is banned, including organizing rallies/caucuses, promoting/selling tickets to fundraising events, addressing partisan gatherings in support of/opposition to candidates, or driving voters to polls in coordination with partisan entities. They cannot use their official authority to interfere with elections or solicit/discourage political activity from individuals with business before the DOJ/FBI. Permitted Activities for FBI EmployeesWhile heavily restricted, some non-active or non-partisan actions are allowed, primarily off-duty: . https://twitter.com/amuse/status/1998131089542713808?s=20 million in fees from Fani Willis's office after she was disqualified for an improper relationship with a special prosecutor. The Georgia Supreme Court removed her permanently in September, opening the door for all 19 defendants to file similar reimbursement claims. The total cost could dwarf Trump's alone and stands as a humiliating rebuke of Willis's partisan prosecution. The blowback is now financial as well as legal. https://twitter.com/MarioNawfal/status/1998354564790284308?s=20 notice. 18 of them are still actively covered. September 2025. Monthly payout: over $10,000. GAO’s just…monitoring them. Because apparently nobody at HHS has. No SSN? Fine. No proof of citizenship? Whatever. No income documentation? Come on in. GAO literally wrote in their report: “[We] did not provide documentation yet received coverage.” They’re not even hiding it – they got benefits with nothing. The system just said yes. Now check the real-world damage. In 2023, 29,000 Social Security numbers somehow got used for multiple full-year coverage plans. By 2024? That jumped to 68,000. Someone’s running the same number through the machine twice, three times, however many times it takes, and the alarms aren’t going off. Then there’s the $94 million that went to dead people in 2023. Not “accounts tied to people who died recently and the paperwork hasn’t caught up” – straight up deceased recipients. Death certificates filed, funerals held, checks still clearing. But here’s the really wild part: GAO tried to track $21 billion in subsidies from 2023 back to actual Social Security numbers. Couldn’t do it. 21 billion dollars just floating out there with no clear connection to who’s supposed to be getting it. The system allows multiple enrollments per SSN “to help ensure actual SSN-holder can enroll in cases of identity theft or data entry errors.” In other words: we built in workarounds so generous that fraud looks identical to legitimate use. Now Congress is fighting over whether to extend these enhanced COVID subsidies past December 31. Cost to keep them? $30 billion annually. 24 million people enrolled, over 90% getting subsidies. Without extension, premiums spike overnight and 22 million people might lose coverage. Republicans looking at GAO’s findings saying: this is exactly why we shouldn’t pour another $30B into a system that can’t tell fake accounts from real ones. Democrats saying: you’re going to kick 22 million people off insurance because less than 1% is fraud? Both sides kinda have a point. Yeah, the fraud’s under 1% of total enrollees. But when you’re burning $30B yearly and literally cannot verify where $21B went, “less than 1%” stops sounding so minor. Senate vote coming this week. Expected to fail. Which means scramble for short-term extension, fight continues into 2026 budget battles, and absolutely nothing changes about fraud controls. Because here’s what nobody wants to say out loud: the system isn’t designed to catch fraud. It’s designed to maximize enrollment. When your mandate is “get people covered,” asking too many questions becomes the enemy. Verification slows things down. Documentation creates barriers. Better to let a few fake accounts slip through than risk denying real people who need coverage. So GAO’s 18 fictional enrollees will keep collecting their $10K monthly until someone at HHS manually shuts them down. Which requires someone at HHS to actually read GAO reports. Which requires someone at HHS to care more about fraud than enrollment numbers. Don’t hold your breath. By next year, GAO will run the same test. Find the same results. Write the same warnings. And Congress will have the same fight about whether feeding money into a system that can’t track where it goes is compassionate policy or expensive theater. Meanwhile, somewhere in America, a completely imaginary person just got their subsidized premium renewed for 2026. https://twitter.com/chad_mizelle/status/1998194850324222006?s=20 clown show. Ignore him. In the meantime, Congress needs to start acting like a co-equal branch and initiate its own inquiry into Boasberg. President Trump's Plan Alina Habba Resigns as U.S. Attorney for New Jersey After Courts Rule Against Her Appointment Alina Habba, President Donald Trump's pick to serve as U.S. attorney for New Jersey, has resigned from her role following a federal court's ruling to uphold a lower court's decision that she was not “lawfully” appointed to the office.

Dans cet épisode de Sensées, Jenny Chammas, mastercoach certifiée et fondatrice de Coachappy, explore un sujet aussi fréquent que tabou dans la vie des femmes leaders : la crise de couple et son impact direct sur la vie professionnelle. Même si la culture du travail valorise le contrôle émotionnel et la séparation des sphères, il est illusoire de croire qu'une crise de couple reste cantonnée au foyer. Ce que nous vivons intimement se déplace avec nous, influence notre énergie, notre confiance, notre concentration, et notre capacité à assumer notre rôle de leader.À partir de situations réelles observées dans ses accompagnements, Jenny détaille les quatre grands effets d'une crise de couple sur la vie professionnelle :l'impact émotionnel, souvent intense et difficile à contenir ;la fragilisation de la confiance en soi, qui se mêle aux exigences de performance ;les tensions au sein de la vie familiale, qui consomment une grande part de l'énergie mentale ;l'impact financier, souvent sous-estimé, qui génère stress et sentiment d'insécurité.Ce que vous saurez faire après écoute :– Comprendre pourquoi une crise personnelle affecte naturellement le leadership, la posture et la performance.– Repérer comment vos émotions non régulées se glissent dans les réunions, les décisions et vos interactions quotidiennes.– Identifier le lien entre surcharge mentale, fatigue émotionnelle et crise de couple.– Trouver une posture intérieure plus douce et plus réaliste pour traverser la période sans vous effondrer.– Distinguer ce qui relève de votre responsabilité professionnelle… et ce qui relève du soin de vous.Jenny rappelle qu'une crise de couple n'est pas un échec, mais un moment de réorganisation profonde. Même si elle ébranle, elle apporte également clarté, vérité et croissance personnelle. Beaucoup de femmes se jugent durement pendant ces périodes, alors qu'elles continuent de porter une charge professionnelle importante. Cet épisode vous invite à alléger cette pression inutile, à reconnaître votre humanité et à accueillir vos besoins réels pour retrouver de l'élan.Car la véritable question n'est pas “Comment continuer comme si de rien n'était ?” mais : “Comment traverser une crise de couple tout en préservant son énergie, son leadership et son bien-être professionnel ?”Pour être accompagnée dans cette période de turbulence, découvrez le programme Sensées, pensé pour soutenir les femmes leaders dans toutes les dimensions de leur vie : Cliquez ici pour en savoir plus.****Rejoignez la newsletter Sensées : elle vous donne accès à un concentré de coaching, d'inspiration et à un workshop offert chaque mois.

Bienvenue sur Sensées, le format audio de ma newsletter hebdomadaire. Chaque semaine, je vous partage avec authenticité des conseils de leadership féminin, des expériences vécues et toute l'énergie dont vous avez besoin pour réussir avec confiance et sérénité.Cette semaine : Pourquoi la vie personnelle et professionnelle s'influencent : 7 situations où les femmes leaders ne peuvent pas cloisonner.Dans cet épisode de Sensées, Jenny Chammas, mastercoach certifiée et fondatrice de Coachappy, explore un sujet auquel toutes les femmes leaders sont confrontées : la manière dont la vie personnelle et professionnelle s'entremêlent, parfois malgré nous. Car au-delà des injonctions à cloisonner, la réalité est simple : nous sommes un seul et même être, et ce que nous vivons dans notre intimité impacte notre façon de travailler. Apprendre à accueillir cette porosité plutôt qu'à la combattre est une étape cruciale pour préserver son énergie, son équilibre et son leadership.À travers sept situations réelles tirées de son expérience de coach, Jenny met en lumière comment la vie personnelle et professionnelle s'influencent profondément : la parentalité, la charge domestique, le couple, la santé, les transitions familiales, l'expatriation, la maladie, mais aussi les moments heureux comme un début de relation amoureuse. Ces exemples illustrent que vouloir cloisonner coûte bien plus d'énergie que d'accepter ce qui est. Car ce qui épuise les femmes leaders n'est pas seulement ce qu'elles vivent dans leur vie privée : c'est aussi la pression ajoutée de devoir “faire comme si de rien n'était” au travail.Ce que vous saurez faire après écoute :– Comprendre pourquoi il est illusoire de séparer strictement vie personnelle et professionnelle.– Identifier les zones de tension émotionnelle qui influencent votre performance au travail.– Reconnaître la surcharge mentale liée à la résistance, au contrôle et à la culpabilité.– Trouver une posture plus douce et plus durable pour avancer même en période de turbulence.– Apprendre à traverser les tempêtes sans perdre totalement votre énergie professionnelle.Cet épisode est une invitation à regarder avec honnêteté comment votre réalité intérieure influence vos journées et vos décisions. Plutôt que de chercher à cloisonner coûte que coûte, Jenny vous propose de développer une approche plus humaine, plus lucide et plus résiliente : accueillir ce qui se passe, ajuster votre niveau d'exigence, exprimer vos besoins lorsque c'est possible et accepter que l'équilibre n'est jamais figé.Après vingt ans de carrière en entreprise, d'expatriation, de direction, de reconversion et de parentalité, et après avoir accompagné des centaines de femmes, Jenny partage des clefs pragmatiques et profondes pour avancer avec clarté, sans s'effondrer ni se juger. Car la véritable question n'est pas “Comment cloisonner ?” mais : “Comment traverser la vie personnelle et professionnelle lorsque tout bouge en même temps ?”.Pour aller plus loin, découvrez le programme Sensées, conçu pour aider les femmes leaders à sortir du surmenage et à construire un leadership durable.

Today's episode is with someone who is regarded as one of the best ski coaches on the planet, yet this is not a conversation about skiing. The things my guest has experienced over the years through teaching, coaching, and working in the mountains in unpredictable conditions hold valuable lessons for us all. Warren Smith is one of Britain's leading professional free skiers, an Internationally Qualified Performance Coach, creator of the Warren Smith Ski Academy and someone who has spent several decades helping people understand their bodies better to help them move and ski with more freedom. Warren has been a sponsored Volkl athlete for over 10 years and is one of the most innovative instructors working in the Alps and is held in high regard for the research and development he carries out combining Ski Technique, Ski Biomechanics and Ski Physiology. As well as coaching tens of thousands of recreational skiers, he is also well known for being the ski instructor that many high profile individuals seek out when wanting to improve their skills, including Prince Harry, Heston Blumenthal, Laurence Dallaglio and Bradley Wiggins. I myself have known Warren for around two decades having sought him out in my mid 20s when I first started getting into skiing because I was deeply fascinated by his philosophy, which made a lot of intuitive sense to me. In our conversation, we discuss: Why so many of us feel limited by our bodies and how simple, five-minute functional exercises can help Why differences in strength or mobility between the two sides of the body are incredibly common, and how they affect everything from skiing to running to daily movement. What Warren's injuries have taught him about resilience, patience and rehabilitation. Why fear on the mountain mirrors fear in life, and how breaking challenges into smaller steps can help us stay calm and move forward. The mental and emotional benefits of elevation and nature, and why gaining perspective from a higher vantage point can help us reset and unwind. The life lessons Warren learned from surviving an avalanche and losing friends in the mountains Warren's incredible life story from growing up in a council state to living in one of the most prestigious ski resorts in the world. This is not just a conversation about skiing, but one that reminds us that when we prepare well, stay curious and look after ourselves , we can keep doing the things we love for longer.

Katy & Jeannette dive into the question: can movement really change your DNA? Using clear analogies—like libraries, recipes, and sticky notes—they unpack what DNA is, how gene expression works, and what we really mean by epigenetics (the “on top of” changes that influence which genes get used). They explore how exercise can turn the “volume up or down” on metabolic genes, pro-inflammatory markers, and stress protein genes, and how many of these changes involve altering the arrangement and access to DNA within your cells.Using another accessible analogy of spider webs, they explore how forces on cells (through mechanotransduction) act as a powerful, non-chemical “nutrient” that can literally move your DNA and alter epigenetics and gene expression. This is why exercise and everyday movement not only have systemic benefits but also site-specific effects—and why the distribution of movement throughout your body matters just as much as how much you move.Enhanced Show Notes and Full Transcript00:00:23 “You can't change DNA”: Katy's green-room story with a physician who insists DNA is fixed.00:03:33 What is DNA?

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!In this first episode of our three part anger series, we talk about what anger really is when you are still with someone in active addiction or someone sober, but unhealed. Anger is not a flaw to fix or a sign that you are the problem. It is a mobilizing, revolutionary emotion that is trying to tell you that you are not safe, that your values are being violated, and that you cannot keep living like this.We break down the difference between anger and aggression, why stuffing anger down only prolongs the chaos, and how waiting for your partner to finally take accountability keeps you stuck. You will hear how we each processed anger differently, how to use anger as fuel instead of a weapon, and how to start shifting from destructive reactions to constructive action using our VEER framework. Even if your partner is in recovery or you are already out of the relationship, this episode lays the groundwork for parts 2 and 3, so do not skip it.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!Online Program: www.independentlystrong.comSoberlink Device:www.soberlink.com/wheelsCheck out our blog:https://twfo.com/blogFollow us on TikTok:https://tiktok.com/@twfo_coupleFollow us on Instagram:https://instagram.com/twfo_couple/Follow us on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TWFOCoupleFollow us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@twfo_coupleFind Taylor Counseling Group:https://taylorcounselinggroup.com/Donate to Counseling for the Future Foundation:Donate Here
Iran's Aggressive Posture, Sanctions Evasion, and 'Fake Reform' — John Batchelor, Bill Roggio, Jonathan Sayeh— Sayeh characterizes Iran as an active predator state, systematically seizing commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz and progressively advancing its nuclear weapons program toward weapons-grade fissile material production. Batchelor documents that despite US sanctions regimes, Iran currently exports more petroleum than during the previous administration, suggesting inadequate enforcement rigor and possible sanctions evasion through intermediary nations. Sayeh characterizes Iranian regime tactics as employing "fake reform," superficially tolerating hijab violations while simultaneously intensifying internal security crackdowns, executions, and suppression of political dissent, creating a facade of liberalization masking deepening authoritarianism. 1870 TEHRAN

Voices arrive through bone conduction, thoughts are inserted, dreams are scripted, and his body jerks against his will. Tonight Dr. John Hall returns to Strange Planet for an urgent follow-up: a clinical breakdown of Ben's real-time evidence of brain entrainment, synthetic telepathy, and neurological hijacking. Can the neural lock be broken? Who selects targets for this silent experimentation? And why does the torment escalate when victims cry for help? This is not hacking. This is trespass inside the human mind. GUEST: Dr. John R. Hall is a Texas physician and author of the landmark books A New Breed: Satellite Terrorism in America and Guinea Pigs: Technologies of Control. For nearly two decades he has been the leading medical voice documenting non-consensual implantation, directed-energy attacks, and remote neural manipulation—phenomena the government now reluctantly calls “Havana Syndrome.” LISTEN TO BEN CONINE EPISODE BOOKS: Guinea Pigs: Technologies of Control A New Breed: Satellite Terrorism in America SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

Woke Capitalism: Origins, ESG, DEI, and the Power of BlackRock — Charles Gasparino — Gasparino traces the origins of "woke capitalism," detailing how corporate America became an active institutional agent for progressive social change. This ideological shift, accelerated through boardroom political calculations, led to widespread adoption of corporate acronyms including ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) and DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion), redirecting corporate focus from shareholder returns toward stakeholder capitalism models. Larry Fink's BlackRockstrategically recognized that managing progressive-oriented investment funds could attract trillions in assets, positioning the firm as a powerful enforcer of these policies across corporate America. 1927
