Key Takeaways:Welcome criticism as much as praise; both of these are other people's opinions of us. They get to have their opinions, and not everything that people think about you is your business. People will only respond to what you did and say if they care enough to do so.Don't put peace on a pedestal. Instead, balance peace and conflict. When you sacrifice the conflict for peace at all costs, we will only end up multiplying and creating more explosive conflicts. Creating space for conflict is the only way to have actual peace.Release the outcome. You don't get to decide who likes you and who doesn't, nor do you get to decide who will support your organization and who won't. Don't be attached to the outcome. Stay sovereign, hold your vision, and keep moving.Adopt neutrality. Look at the world from a 10,000-foot view. Everything is information; none of it is either good or bad. Be open to allowing things to happen. Things are happening for you, not to you. Everything that happens to you is a gift. “When we need praise to feel good about ourselves or need praise to feel like our organization is on track, or we're terrified of criticism because we think it'll derail us, then it has ownership of us.” “By sacrificing the conflict, for peace at all costs, we're actually creating more conflict. When you allow for a little conflict, you are actually creating peace. ” “All I do is I stay sovereign, I stay in action, and I hold my vision, and I keep moving. That is releasing the outcome.”- Maryanne Dersch  Ask for and receive all you want, need, and deserve without feeling rejected, ineffective, or pushy.

 This week's Star 99.9 Connecticut Humane Society Pet of the Week is as sweet and snuggly as her name... meet Peach! She's a petite 2-year-old domestic shorthair mix with striking black and reddish fur (hence her name). Peach is all about the quiet life: soft blankets, gentle pets, and being the solo star of the household. While she hasn't had much experience with kids, she's open to meeting respectful ones aged 8 and up. If you're looking for a low-key, high-cuddle cat to bring peace and purrs into your home, Peach is your girl. Head to CThumane.org/Adopt to make it official. 

Don't have a garden? Adopt a roundabout and plant things for the bees! We meet a TikToker who's done just that. And then we travel from coast to coast to hear about a push to let sections of city parks grow a little wild. We head to one of these meadows to hear how they attract pollinators, and hear why creating “pollinator pockets” for busy bees and “hairy” moths can be a climate solution across the country – and a patriotic one at that.

In this episode of The Adoption Roadmap Podcast, Rebecca Gruenspan sits down with Dr. Joyce Maguire Pavao—a pioneer in the world of adoption, an adoptee herself, and the author of The Family of Adoption. With over five decades of clinical experience, Dr. Pavao challenges the idea that adoption is something to be “fixed,” and instead invites us to see it as a lifelong experience that demands truth, openness, and deep emotional care.In this powerful conversation, Dr. Pavao unpacks the psychology of adoption, the concept of ambiguous loss, and the invisible grief so often overlooked. She shares practical guidance for adoptive parents—how to talk about adoption, how to recognize adoption-related trauma, and how to support their children through it without over-pathologizing them. From early separation and normative crises to adoption-competent therapy and systemic change, this episode is filled with wisdom every member of the adoption constellation needs to hear.Important LinksDr. Joyce Maguire PavaoEmail: kinnect@gmail.comThe Family of AdoptionSweet Peach Tree – Clean, natural hair + skin products for melanin-rich families.Use code ROADMAP10 for 10% off your first orderRG Adoption ConsultingTake our FREE quiz: “Am I Ready to Adopt?”Chapters00:00 Celebrating Milestones and Community Engagement03:14 Understanding Adoption: A Lifelong Journey05:48 The Child-Centric Approach in Adoption09:13 Normative Crises in Adoption12:05 The Impact of Early Adoption Experiences14:55 Creating Adoption Competent Therapists18:05 Ambiguous Loss in Adoption20:50 Supporting Children Through Invisible Loss24:01 Indirect Communication Strategies for Parents26:54 Recognizing Trauma in Adopted Children30:06 Understanding Behavioral Responses in Adoptees33:02 The Complexity of Adoption Experiences36:13 Encouraging Open Conversations in Adoption38:57 The Role of Parents in Navigating Adoption Challenges41:58 Empowering Adoptees to Share Their Stories46:31 Navigating Family Dynamics in Adoption49:41 The Vulnerability of Pre-Adoptive Parents55:29 The Need for Honest Conversations in Adoption57:40 Challenges in the Adoption System01:02:33 The Importance of Community in Healing01:10:31 Therapeutic Approaches for Adoptive Families01:12:32 Understanding Healing vs. Fixing01:16:29 Building Connections and Community01:23:59 Embracing the Truth of AdoptionTune in to The Adoption Roadmap Podcast every Wednesday and Friday mornings.

The Easy Way to Get Healthy: Discovering Holistic Wellness Through God's Design Thriving in today's world—mentally, physically, and spiritually—requires more than just effort. In a culture that values quick fixes and constant productivity, we've forgotten something simple: the easy way to get healthy is to return to the way God designed us to live. The book of Genesis isn't just the story of creation—it's a blueprint for wellness. It reveals how we are meant to eat, move, rest, and relate. Reclaiming Wellness: What Did God Intend for Your Body and Mind? In today's noisy, overstimulated world, it's easy to feel off-balance. We are distracted by what we see, rushing from one task to the next and often ignoring the signals our bodies send us. As a result, we overcomplicate health when, in reality, the easy way to get healthy is already in front of us—laid out from the very beginning. Genesis 1:29 reads: "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food." This verse reminds us of the essentials. Real food. Natural light. Movement. Rest. Community. Breath. These aren't trends or fads. They are timeless tools—gifts God built into creation to help us thrive. The Genesis Prescription: 7 Essentials for Whole-Person Health When you return to God's original design, the path to wellness becomes clear. You don't need to overhaul your life overnight. Instead, by taking small, intentional steps, you begin to experience fundamental transformation. So, here's the easy way to get healthy—one choice at a time: 1. Eat Real Food the Way God Made It 2. Let the Sun Set Your Rhythm 3. Ground Yourself in God's Creation 4. Breathe Like You Were Designed To 5. Honor Rest and Embrace Darkness 6. Move the Way God Designed You To 7. Seek Community and Connection   About Chelsea Blackbird Chelsea Blackbird helps Christian women improve their health through real food and biblical principles. After overcoming digestive issues, a genetic skin condition, and infertility through nutrition, she was called to share what she learned. Now, she helps women reach their optimal weight, boost energy, sleep better, and find food peace—all while deepening their faith. Through her signature Feast 2 Fast® program, she empowers others to build sustainable, spirit-led wellness routines that work in real life (yes, even with chips and wine).

We all get to choose how we decide to walk through life; we can choose to be optimistic and grateful. In this episode, Summer reveals how anyone can change their mindset to transform their perspective. Many people think they need to start changing their lives, but Summer shares how you need to change your perspective first and why this will completely change your outlook on life, particularly when trying to develop and grow as a person.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The meaning we attach to things in our lives is what shapes how we manage things in our lives, including with gratitude and energy. When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. The most powerful people are those who deal with any situation and make their lives good no matter what happens. This optimism guides their life. Adopt the mindset that is what is happening around you is feedback. Change the questions you ask, don't ask why is this happening, ask what it telling you.  By asking higher level questions, your brain will find higher level answers.    BEST MOMENTS  “Most people don't need to start with changing their life, they need to change how they see it first” “Life unfolds exactly how it's supposed to” “Life is hard because of how you're seeing your circumstances” "It's imperative to train the mind to tune to the question that is higher because your brain finds what it is looking for" HOST BIO I am Summer. A spiritual being having human experiences. From the age of 11 I have been obsessed with all things self- development; looking at it from every angle, in pursuit of finding answers for my life. Like all other humans I am figuring out. Along the way I have discovered knowledge and concepts that have changed my existence and helped navigate my youth. The process of learning and undoing, growing and evolving has lead me right here. The host of Inner wealth, where I bring together the most profound teachings I've learnt during my time here on earth; in hopes of making it a little easier for others to get to the same wisdom. Sharing the line of truth to living a prosperous life. The core of my purpose is to be of service to humanity.    CONTACT ME Follow Summer on Instagram for more insights and to stay up to date with the pod @innerwealth.podcast This Podcast has been brought to you by Disruptive Media. https://disruptivemedia.co.uk/

Whether you're staring at empty patches in your garden or waiting for your ferments to finish bubbling, this lifestyle is full of waiting. And in a culture that celebrates overnight success and 30-second videos, that can feel extra hard. But what if the waiting is actually part of the growth? In this episode, I'm sharing: Why waiting is one of the hardest parts of homesteading How impatience has shown up for me lately (spoiler: I've replanted seeds way too early) Real-life encouragement for those of us in the messy middle of any project Simple things you can do while you wait that actually move you forward Why slow success is more satisfying—and sustainable—than quick wins “Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson Whether you're waiting on seeds, sourdough, or just a quieter season in life—this one's for you.

Thriving Business Finances with Value-Based Pricing Strategies and the Profit First Model Running a successful business today requires more than just hard work—it takes strategy, clarity, and a sustainable approach to finances. Adopt value-based pricing strategies and implement the Profit First model to avoid burnout. Together, these two approaches enable business owners to set prices based on the value they provide, ensuring that profit is prioritized from the outset. Rethinking Your Worth with Value-Based Pricing Strategies: What Are You Providing? One of the most common pitfalls in business is undervaluing your work, particularly when pricing is based solely on the time spent. Instead of asking, "How long did this take me?" with value-based pricing strategies, we ask, "What difference is this making for the person I serve?" When you price based on value, you recognize the real impact of your work: peace of mind, business growth, clarity, and confidence. These things go far beyond time spent and deserve to be reflected in how you charge. Clients aren't just paying for your time—they're investing in meaningful change. And that change has measurable value. You deliver an ROI when you help a client increase their revenue, streamline operations, or reduce stress that leads to better decision-making. This return on investment (ROI) often exceeds the cost of your services. By clearly communicating that ROI—whether it's financial growth, time saved, or long-term stability—you make it easier for clients to see your services as an investment, not an expense. When you price according to the outcomes you create, you simplify your pricing, establish clear expectations, and reinforce the true worth of your services.

Stress Isn't the Problem—Staying Stuck Is We all experience stress, but remaining stuck in stress is where issues arise. Welcome back to Reflect Forward; I'm Kerry Siggins. Today we explore why stress is contagious and how leaders can effectively manage it. As leaders, our emotions significantly influence our teams. When stressed, our teams feel it too. When calm, we foster productivity and creativity. Why Stress is Contagious Mirror neurons, brain cells activated by observing actions or emotions, make stress contagious. A 2014 study in Psychological Science found simply seeing someone stressed can raise cortisol levels, increasing our stress response. Our body language often communicates more powerfully than words. A recent personal experience reminded me how critical managing facial expressions and posture is to maintaining a calm team environment. Why Managing Your Stress Matters Unchecked leader stress leads to: • Fearful, defensive cultures • Burnout and increased turnover • Lost credibility and trust Effective leadership starts with managing your emotional presence. Key Takeaways: Six Tips for Managing Stress 1. Practice Self-Awareness: Regularly identify and address stressors. 2. Breathe Before You Speak: Breathing deeply shifts your mindset from reactive to thoughtful. 3. Normalize, Don't Amplify Stress: Acknowledge stress calmly and communicate solutions. 4. Create Stress Recovery Rituals: Use exercise, journaling, meditation, or quiet walks to recharge. 5. Embrace the Ownership Mindset: Focus on controlling your response, not external circumstances. 6. Keep Perspective: Today's challenges are temporary. Maintain a measured approach. Weekly Action Items • Conduct an energy audit to pinpoint stressors. • Adopt one new stress-management practice immediately. • Lead with resilience, pausing and reflecting before reacting. Calm and chaos are contagious—choose wisely. Self-leadership is foundational to leading others effectively. If you found this helpful, please share, subscribe, and leave a review.

Are screen time limits really protecting your teen—or just giving you a false sense of security? And why do so many moms say, “My kid finally came back to themselves” after time away from their phone? In this powerful conversation with Claire Morell, author of The Tech Exit, we explore the real impact of smartphones and social media on our kids and why conventional parenting tools like screen time limits and parental controls often fall short. Claire shares her journey from policymaker to parent advocate and breaks down why the tech industry's promises to families aren't adding up. Instead of surrendering to tech as inevitable, Claire offers a radically hopeful and doable alternative: the “tech exit”—a smartphone-free and social media-free childhood. Backed by research and stories from families who've successfully made this shift, she reframes tech resistance not as deprivation, but as a profound gift of presence, imagination, and resilience. Takeaways Many parents try to moderate tech with time limits and parental controls, but these tools are often ineffective and misleading. Claire explains that screens act on the brain like addictive drugs, meaning moderation isn't enough. She introduces her FEAST framework—Find families, Educate, Adopt alternatives, Set rules, Trade screens for real life—as a roadmap for reclaiming childhood from digital overwhelm. The most hopeful message? It's never too late. Even if your teen is already hooked, a 30-day digital detox can reset your child's brain, mood, and creativity. With courage, community, and practical strategies, your family can exit the tech trap—and flourish.

In this episode recorded live at LSI Dana Point, Etienne Nichols sits down with Ed Muzio, author of Iterate, to explore how iterative management helps MedTech companies move faster as they scale. Muzio breaks down the pitfalls of traditional management—including siloed execution and backward-looking metrics—and offers a proven alternative grounded in over 70 years of research. With real-world analogies, like orchestras and dashboards, Muzio explains how leaders can create alignment, drive faster decisions, and unlock collaborative problem-solving by focusing on the future instead of the past. Whether you're part of a startup or an established MedTech firm, this episode delivers actionable strategies to help your team iterate with purpose.Key Timestamps[00:01] Introduction and sponsor message from Greenlight Guru[01:13] Meet Ed Muzio and the premise of Iterate[03:15] Why most management meetings don't drive real action[06:40] The “Alice” video case study and how it exemplifies iterative management[11:50] Common objections and barriers to implementing iterative processes[17:00] Using forward-looking data instead of status updates[22:08] MedTech example: anticipating 510(k) review delays[29:15] Making decisions early to gain planning time[34:20] How to get started if you're a small or early-stage company[37:40] Cultural barriers in iterative team models[41:20] Handling matrixed environments and CEO-level priorities[47:10] Why clarity of decision-makers matters in early teams[51:45] The biggest mistake mature companies make in team meetings[55:05] Final advice: focus on behavior, not buzzwordsStandout Quotes“If you walk into a meeting and it's 26 minutes in and you haven't made a decision yet—and that's normal—you're probably not solving anything.”—Ed Muzio on the inefficiency of status-only meetings in traditional management culture.“We don't need to forecast history. We need to plan around the future.”—Ed Muzio explaining why forward-looking metrics are the only actionable data in iterative teams.These quotes challenge conventional meeting norms and emphasize a proactive mindset crucial to success in fast-moving MedTech environments.Top TakeawaysBackward-looking metrics kill momentum. Most leadership teams spend meetings reviewing past progress. Instead, focus on forecasting future outcomes and addressing variances before they become problems.Accountability must be systemic, not personal. A team can only normalize issue-raising if the entire culture shifts to expect it—making it safe and standard to surface concerns early.“Succeed or fail together” breaks silos. When departments align to shared goals, cross-functional collaboration becomes natural. Incentives that isolate progress undermine execution speed.Don't vote—decide. In small teams, designate a clear decision-maker and avoid democratic processes that lead to politicking instead of clarity.Adopt flexible systems over rigid charts. Org charts don't reflect reality. Iterative management embraces the messiness of matrixed teams and adapts meetings and collaboration structures fluidly.References

Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 28 mai 2025.Avec cette semaine :Jean-Louis Bourlanges, essayiste.Béatrice Giblin, directrice de la revue Hérodote et fondatrice de l'Institut Français de Géopolitique.Marc-Olivier Padis, directeur des études de la fondation Terra Nova.Lucile Schmid, vice-présidente de La Fabrique écologique et membre du comité de rédaction de la revue Esprit.LE RECUL DES ACCORDS DE PARISAprès avoir clamé « Make our planet great again (« Rendez sa grandeur à la planète »), et promis que son second quinquennat « sera écologique ou ne sera pas », Emmanuel Macron s'est montré de moins en moins ambitieux au fil de ses deux mandats. Son gouvernement n'a pas tenu sa promesse de sortie du glyphosate en trois ans, a édulcoré la loi zéro artificialisation nette et délivre encore des permis d'hydrocarbures. En 2019, sur recours du collectif d'associations « L'affaire du siècle », la responsabilité de l'État a été engagée par le juge administratif pour n'avoir pas respecté sa propre trajectoire de réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre.Déjà marginalisée depuis l'irruption de la guerre en Ukraine ou à Gaza, la cause climatique se retrouve foulée aux pieds dans le nouveau chaos géopolitique créé par l'administration Trump. En France, depuis le début de l'année, les reculs se multiplient, dans une ambiance d'attaques répétées de la droite et de l'extrême droite contre les opérateurs de l'État comme l'Office français de la biodiversité ou l'Agence de la transition écologique. Adopté au Sénat en janvier, un texte vise la réautorisation par dérogation de certains insecticides néonicotinoïdes et restreint l'indépendance de l'Agence nationale de sécurité sanitaire de l'alimentation, de l'environnement et du travail (Anses), des reculs jugés considérables par les défenseurs de l'environnement.Or, il y a dix ans, dans le cadre des accords de Paris de 2015, la France s'est engagée à atteindre la neutralité carbone en 2050 et, pour y parvenir, s'est dotée d'une feuille de route de réduction des émissions par secteur, la Stratégie nationale bas carbone, dont la troisième version doit être officiellement publiée dans les prochains mois. L'objectif : réduire nos émissions brutes de 50 % entre 1990 et 2030, en accord avec l'objectif européen. Alors que la France doit réduire ses émissions de 4,7 % par an en moyenne entre 2022 et 2030, ces dernières n'ont diminué que de 1,8 % en 2024 par rapport à 2023 selon lebaromètre Citepa chargé de l'inventaire des émissions de la France. Le compte n'y est donc pas.Selon une enquête de 2022 de l'Organisation pour la coopération et le développement économiques (OCDE), environ 43 % des Français ont une opinion sur le climat qui s'écarte significativement du consensus scientifique. Une proportion qui excède – parfois de plus de 20 points – ce qui est observé dans la douzaine des autres pays à hauts revenus inclus dans l'étude de l'OCDE.LA POLITIQUE DE NETANYAHOU ET L'ISOLEMENT D'ISRAËLDurant la tournée de Donald Trump dans le Golfe mi-mai, le premier ministre israélien a paru isolé et pris de court par les décisions du président américain de lancer des pourparlers avec l'Iran sur le nucléaire, de négocier directement avec le Hamas la libération d'otages israélo-américains, de conclure un cessez-le-feu avec les Houthis yéménites et de lever les sanctions américaines sur la Syrie.Le 19 mai, Benyamin Nétanyahou a annoncé qu'Israël allait prendre « le contrôle de tout le territoire » de la bande de Gaza en lançant l'opération Chariots de Gédéon. L'armée israélienne a depuis intensifié ses opérations dans l'enclave palestinienne, faisant des centaines de morts, dont une majorité de civils. Le plan du gouvernement israélien qui suppose de raser ce qui reste de Gaza, de parquer une population affamée dans une petite portion de l'enclave et de la soumettre à un système militarisé de distribution d'aide humanitaire a suscité une indignation générale de la communauté internationale y compris de la part de capitales occidentales proches d'Israël. Quelque 39 pays ont déposé un recours devant la Cour Internationale de Justice de La Haye. Le président français, et les Premiers ministres britannique et canadien ont prévenu qu'ils ne resteraient « pas les bras croisés » devant les « actions scandaleuses » du gouvernement israélien. 22 pays ont aussi exigé d'Israël une « reprise complète de l'aide à la bande de Gaza, immédiatement », demandant qu'elle soit organisée par les Nations unies et les ONG. Sous la pression, après deux mois et demi de blocus humanitaire, Benyamin Netanyahou a autorisé quelques camions transportant des médicaments et de la nourriture pour enfants à pénétrer dans la bande de Gaza. Un geste minimum, loin de répondre aux besoins. Le 20 mai, la Commission européenne a déclaré qu'elle allait entamer un processus de révision de l'accord d'association de l'Union européenne avec Israël, dont l'article 2 évoque le respect des droits humains qui pourrait aboutir à la suspension des relations commerciales favorables à Tel-Aviv. La cheffe de la diplomatie européenne, Kaja Kallas a constaté qu'« il existe une forte majorité en faveur du réexamen de l'article 2 de notre accord d'association avec Israël. Nous allons donc nous lancer dans cet exercice ». La mort de deux employés de l'ambassade d'Israël aux États-Unis, tués devant le musée juif de Washington, a renforcé un sentiment d'isolement en Israël et la crainte de devenir un Etat paria. Le 23 mai, le Conseil de l'Europe a estimé que les actes dans la bande de Gaza « vont dans le sens d'un nettoyage ethnique et d'un génocide ». Lundi, le chancelier allemand Friedrich Merz a menacé le gouvernement Netanyahou de ne plus continuer à le soutenir en raison de l'intensification de l'offensive de l'armée israélienne à Gaza. « On ne peut plus le justifier par une lutte contre le terrorisme du Hamas », a déclaré le dirigeant allemand, fustigeant avec une rare fermeté les actions d'Israël, dont Berlin est l'un des plus fidèles alliés avec les États-Unis.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.
