Emily Kircher-Morris welcomes Dr. Ari Tuckman for a conversation about time blindness, the complexities of ADHD, and the stigma surrounding the disorder. They discuss why ADHD is more about the struggle to convert attention into action than a lack of knowledge. They talk about how and why ADHD affects time perception and performance under pressure. If you're prone to procrastination, anxiety, and time management issues, this is an episode you need to hear. TAKEAWAYS ADHD is often misunderstood as a lack of attention rather than a difficulty in converting attention into action. Time perception in ADHD can be distorted, leading to challenges in planning and prioritizing tasks. Individuals with ADHD may perform better under pressure, but this can lead to anxiety and self-doubt. The internalized stigma can cause ADHD individuals to feel like frauds despite their successes. Social dynamics play a significant role in how ADHD behaviors are perceived by others. The pressure to conform to neurotypical standards can hinder the ability to find effective personal strategies. ADHD can contribute to anxiety, not just in the individual but also in those around them. Procrastination can also cause anxiety for others around you. Time management involves multiple components, including attention management. Physical clocks can help with time perception. Alarms are reminders, not motivators. Gamifying tasks can reduce procrastination. The window will open soon to join the Educator Hub!

I've been cleaning homes since 2006 and have noticed a dramatic increase in home security as technology improves. Alarms have gone from wired to wireless. Cameras surveil various angles and locations of the home. Garages have keypads. Families are more secure than ever and they can do so at an expense less than it used to cost. This happens so predictively that economists give it a name.The early adopters pay the most like cell phones in the '90s or tvs in the '50s. Once the technology reaches critical mass (around 10% market penetration), the technology floods the market until it cheapens with market saturation around 90%. This is called 'S-Curve' economics. As a side note, this is a fascinating phenomenon to study. Home security has undergone the same S-curve. Check out this statement from a recent article on the state of home security."Around 20% of homes in America have security systems, but this percentage is expected to increase over the next five years. In fact, experts predict that the number of homes with security systems will increase by 64% in that time period."The early adopters of home security were in the '70's, '80's, and '90's. It took 40 years for home security systems to reach 10% market penetration or critical mass. It has taken roughly 10 more years to go from 10% to 20% of all homes secure in the US. This article predicts a jump to over 80% in the next 5 years! That's an 'S-curve' for sure! But I ask you. Is this normalizing effect causing homeowners to feel over-confident?Unfortunately, I've noticed another trend. Homeowners are forgetting to lock their windows at an increasing rate. I'm a detailed house cleaner and clean complete kitchens and bathrooms, baseboards, wood trim, light switches, window ledges & sills over the course of time. I treat every client as if I was cleaning for my own family. Therefore, I'm a noticer! One of my clients was away for 5 days vacation and scheduled cleaning on the day of their arrival home. While I was there, I noticed that all 4 windows on the first floor were unlocked! These 4 windows happened to be the ones to the left and right of the front door on the porch. This discovery made me uneasy, so I locked them and notified the family. They were so thankful.I notice unlocked windows more often in upstairs bedrooms. However, you'd be surprised how many windows I've locked in my 15 years cleaning houses on the first floor! I'm not a psychologist, but I will hypothesize. We are placing too much trust in our technology. Many homeowners in suburbia believe that their neighborhoods are safe. Therefore, they can leave their car doors, front doors, and windows open. If there was an intruder, the alarm system would pick it up. I learned recently from a bank professional that criminals are getting smarter too. They are not the Water Bandits from "Home Alone" that can be thwarted by a 7-year-old boy with lots of toys, tacks, and tar. These criminals are timing their crimes to steal from moms while they drop off kids at daycare. They target shopping parking lots. And they target the most "trusting" homeowners. I'm sure this is not new to anyone reading this.Read the rest of this article at the Smart Cleaning School website

PAKISTAN: NUKE ALARMS. HUSAIN HAQQANI, HUDSON.INSTITUTE. 1947 PAKISTAN GLIGHT

What does it really take to hit a Golden Door in alarms—not once, but three times? In this episode, we sit down with Sebastian Bower, an elite D2D veteran who's sold over 1,600 accounts since 2018 without ever jumping industries. He's proof that staying the course, sharpening your edge, and refusing to fold under pressure is the true path to elite performance.Sebastian's not selling solar, insurance, or grass. He's still in alarms—and still dominating. In fact, his biggest leap came when he stripped things down, went solo, and made it personal. He stopped working hard enough and started working to prove what he was capable of.

House Minority Leader Tony McCombie is raising alarms over Illinois's sanctuary state policies after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem visited Springfield today. McCombie claims these policies embolden criminals, put families at risk, and squander taxpayer funds. She criticized Governor Pritzker for focusing on future election ambitions instead of public safety, accusing him of reckless disregard for federal government directives. McCombie argues this approach leaves Illinois families to deal with the consequences. Her comments were delivered both on the House floor and before Wednesday's legislative session, as the debate over sanctuary policies continues to intensify at the Capitol.

(AURN News) — President Donald Trump's latest executive order directing federal agencies to enhance support for law enforcement has sparked renewed fears over the militarization of local police and its potential impact on civil liberties. The order, signed Monday, instructs the attorney general and other agency heads to “maximize the use of Federal resources” in support of state and local law enforcement. Among its directives: developing new best practices to “aggressively police communities,” increasing officer pay and benefits, seeking enhanced penalties for crimes against police, and investing in prison infrastructure. Section 4, mandates that within 90 days, the attorney general and the secretary of defense “shall increase the provision of excess military and national security assets in local jurisdictions to assist State and local law enforcement.” The order also calls for determining how military training, non-lethal capabilities, and personnel “can most effectively be utilized to prevent crime.” With provisions that call for expanded use of military assets in local jurisdictions, the order is likely to renew public debate over the federal government's role in shaping local law enforcement — and how far is too far when it comes to crime prevention.

PRESS REVIEW – Thursday, May 1: The Spanish papers continue to wonder what – or who – was responsible for the Great Blackout that plunged Spain and Portugal into darkness this week. Is renewable energy to blame? Also: US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr alarms medical experts over his plans to impose placebo testing of vaccines. Plus: Steven Spielberg reveals what he thinks is the greatest film of all time. There is lots of scrutiny around renewable energies after the shock nationwide power outage that hit Spain and Portugal earlier this week. Spanish daily La Vanguardia asks that very question on the front page of its website: Who is to Blame for the Great Blackout? Was it a photovoltaic plant that shut down, a French disconnection, a poorly designed IT system or overconfidence in the system's infallibility? We still don't know what caused the blackout, but many have been quick to blame renewable energy for the system's failure. But in the same edition, La Vanguardia interviews the head of an energy research group, Jose Luis Dominguez, who says that Spain needs to continue investing in renewable energy. He concedes, though, that the blackout highlights the need for adjustments in regulation and oversight of companies. And that the low inertia of solar and wind energy requires more investment and innovation in reacting to unforeseen circumstances. That's the message echoed in an article from Reuters entitled "Don't blame renewables for Spain's power outage". Instead, the news agency says, Monday's blackout should be a warning to governments that investment in power storage and grid upgrades are just as important as expanding renewable energy projects.The US department of health is planning to change the way vaccines are tested and critics say the move could undermine public trust in immunisation. The Washington Post reports that Robert F. Kennedy Jnr wants to impose placebo testing in all new vaccines, in which people receive either the vaccine or an inert substance like a saline shot. Placebo testing is commonplace for new pathogens but not for well-researched diseases like measles and polio. Medical experts say this could be unethical because the placebo group would not receive a known effective intervention to a potentially deadly disease. The Post says the health department wants to increase transparency. Since Kennedy Jnr's appointment as head of health, the US top vaccine regulator Peter Marks has resigned under pressure, while Kennedy Jnr has continued to express his scepticism around vaccines amid an ongoing deadly measles outbreak in the US.The investigative journalism nonprofit collective Forbidden Stories has released a new report detailing the shocking treatment of Ukrainians in a Russian prison. Forbidden Stories is a collective which aims to continue the investigative reporting of journalists who have been silenced. Their Victoriia Project is named for Ukrainian journalist Victoriia Roshchyna's efforts to document the war in Ukraine. On her fourth trip in 2023, however, she never came back. Earlier this year, what has been identified as her body was delivered to Ukraine. Forbidden Stories details the treatment of Ukrainian prisoners of wars and in some cases, civilians at the notorious Taganrog prison. This is where Victoriia ended up. The articles describes the prison as "synonymous with the most violent types of treatment imaginable, reminiscent of the worst Soviet gulags". According to former inmates, beatings, unimaginable torture and food deprivation were routine occurrences at the prison. They also faced punishment for speaking Ukrainian and some inmates ended up committing suicide as a result of the torture.  In cinema news, Steven Spielberg has revealed what he thinks is the greatest film of all time. Screen Rant reports that the legendary director sys Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 film "The Godfather" was the greatest movie of all time. In fact, it was so good that it shook his confidence as a director and almost made him not want to become one, according to Spielberg. A few years later though, "Jaws" came out and Spielberg's career took off. He, like Coppola, is part of the New Hollywood group of directors who brought filmmaking into the modern era.Finally, a pair of tennis fans have got engaged in the stands before Alex de Minaur and Lorenzo Musetti's Round of 16 match in the Madrid Open. It brings a whole new meaning to "love game"!You can catch our press review every morning on France 24 at 7:20am and 9:20am (Paris time), from Monday to Friday.

A recent investigation from Open the Books, has added fuel to claims that Dr. Anthony Fauci leveraged the COVID-19 pandemic for personal financial gain. According to newly released financial disclosures, Fauci’s net worth skyrocketed from $7.6 million to over $15 million from 2019-2023. The bulk of this increase came from his hefty government salary, lucrative investment returns, and substantial royalties—much of which was amassed while he was shaping the nation’s pandemic policies. None of this is a coincidence. Fauci is nothing more than a Deep State insider who benefited handsomely while Americans faced lockdowns, job losses, and economic uncertainty. Fauci’s close ties to pharmaceutical companies, along with his unyielding media presence and shifting public health directives, helped create a climate where fear was monetized and dissent was silenced. In This episode of "Stinchfield" we make the case that Dr. Fauci’s soaring wealth during the pandemic isn’t just unethical; it’s confirmation of the wide spread corruption inside our federal agencies, especially Health and Human Services.

Alarms bells continue to sound on Wall Street today as the market opened down 1,100 points at the start of trading. Financial experts are using expressions like “nuclear winter” and “economic Armageddon” to describe the effects that the newly-imposed tariffs by President Trump are having. This is going to end in one of two ways. Either the naysayers are going to be right and the world will be plunged into recession or worse, or President Trump will succeed with the greatest political move in American history. But know this. Regardless of how the cookie crumbles, the Mark of the Beast, the thing that controls all buying and selling, will be the big winner in all this. That's the memo.“Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.” Daniel 11:20 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, we bring you a fair and balanced look at what the whole world is talking about today, global tariffs imposed on foreign nations by the United States. We will give you arguments for both potential outcomes, and put it in your lap to decide what you're seeing. But just to keep everyone honest, we will run the whole thing through the filter of the King James Bible to see what has already been declared and decided in the scripture of truth.

What should we take away from the blasting of the trumpets? Revelation 8:7–13 looks forward to the hearing of God's Word, publicly read, in the holy assembly on the coming Lord's Day. In these seven verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that the trumpets sound the alarm for the coming judgment of God, and against reliance upon prosperity and power that must surely be destroyed.

Nicole Weaver of Black Bi Reality looks back at Love Is Blind Season 8 and how so many lgbtq women were involved.

Welcome back to Authentically ADHD, where we explore the realities of living with ADHD—the science, struggles, and strengths. Host Carmen Irace delves into the debate of Consistency vs. Persistence, examining why one is more suited to ADHD brains than the other. This episode challenges conventional productivity wisdom and offers practical insights for sustainable success.The Expectation of Consistency: Consistency is often touted as key to success, yet for ADHD individuals, it can feel unattainable. Scientific insights reveal how ADHD brains navigate motivation and effort differently, highlighting the disconnect between traditional expectations and neurological reality.Redefining Success Through Persistence: Shifting focus to persistence, Irace explains why this approach aligns better with ADHD traits. Persistence allows for flexibility, embracing the natural ebb and flow of motivation without the guilt of perceived failures. Scientific studies underscore the effectiveness of this mindset in achieving long-term goals.Real-Life Examples of Persistence Over Consistency: Irace provides practical examples—from exercise routines to work productivity and relationships—illustrating how embracing persistence leads to sustained progress. Each scenario emphasizes adapting habits to individual rhythms rather than adhering to rigid schedules.How to Build Persistence (Without Pressure): The episode concludes with six science-backed strategies to cultivate persistence in daily life. These include leveraging micro-wins, using external structures like alarms and accountability partners, and fostering self-compassion to navigate setbacks effectively.Closing Thoughts: Consistency may be overrated, but persistence is ADHD-friendly and sustainable. Irace encourages listeners to embrace this mindset, emphasizing that success lies in resilience rather than unattainable perfection.This episode resonates with anyone who has struggled with maintaining routines or habits, offering a refreshing perspective that celebrates the unique strengths of ADHD. Join Carmen Irace next time as she continues to explore topics essential to thriving with ADHD.Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/carmen_iraceJoin Focused: https://ihaveadhdllc.ontralink.com/t?orid=29951&opid=1Show Notes:INTRODUCTIONHOST (Carmen Irace): Hey everyone! Welcome back to Authentically ADHD, the podcast where we dive deep into the realities of living with ADHD—the science, the struggles, and the strengths. I'm your host, Carmen Irace, and today, we're tackling a topic that I know so many of us wrestle with: Consistency vs. Persistence—and why one of these works way better for ADHD brains than the other.I want you to take a second and think about these two words. Consistency. Persistence. Which one makes you feel empowered? And which one makes you feel exhausted just thinking about it?For most of us with ADHD, "consistency" feels like this impossible standard that we just can't live up to. We're told that success comes from doing the same thing, the same way, over and over—but our brains just don't work that way. And that's okay.Today, we're breaking it all down. We'll explore:* The perception of these words and why consistency feels unattainable for ADHDers* The science behind why our brains struggle with consistency but thrive with persistence* Why persistence is actually the ADHD-friendly approach to long-term success* And some practical strategies to help you build persistence without pressureSo, if you've ever felt frustrated that you "can't stay consistent" with habits, work, or goals—this episode is for you. Let's jump in.THE EXPECTATION OF CONSISTENCYLet's start with consistency.This word is thrown around all the time in productivity culture:* “The key to success is consistency.”* “If you're not consistent, you're not disciplined.”* “Success comes from showing up every single day.”And if you have ADHD, hearing that feels like being asked to run a marathon with no training, no shoes, and no idea where the finish line is. Because consistency is built on predictability—and ADHD is the opposite of predictable.

Also, Jen and I explore the themes of survival mode, self-care, and emotional wellness. We also discuss the challenges of navigating personal and professional changes, the importance of self-compassion, and strategies for managing stress and burnout.

Welcome to Superlatively Yes's seventh season. We are back in this first episode of 2025 and we are so excited to connect with you all and bring some fun, fresh new content. Today I am here with my good friend and yours, Jennifer McCrodden. You know Jen, she's been around since season one. She's an OG. Jasa, our hilarious world traveling friend will be in and out this season. Before you get concerned, everyone and everything is fine. We're fine. We're just like in a super busy season. And this makes a lot of sense to us right now. We're so excited. We're committed to all of you in the SY community, committed to this platform. And we love this opportunity. Okay. Since we last had Jen on the Superlatively Yes podcast, she has become a drum roll please certified life coach. And do you know who has benefited the most from this so far? Me. I love to unwrap topics and conversations with Jen because she has such a wise and unique perspective. I learned something new from her guys every time we have a coaching session or a long lunch at Tacos for Life. Welcome back to the Superlatively, I'm sorry, the Superlatively Yes podcast, Jen. Jen (01:25.08) Thank you, Tanya. And that is so kind of you to say. I have greatly benefited from life coaching as well, and always from having tacos with you and hanging out. So it's a mutual benefit for sure. Tanya N Smith (01:35.535) Tanya N Smith (01:39.867) It really is. Yeah. Okay. So, let's just get right into it. Listen, everybody listen. Jen wrote me this letter and one of our back and forth moments of talking through topics and it absolutely made my day. It made me laugh out loud and that is kind of hard to do. So I want you to hear it. I want you to hear in her sweet voice and then we're going to talk about it right after. Jen (01:44.311) Yes. Jen (02:05.356) All right, a letter to my dear friend Tanya. Dear Tanya, all right, before we begin, a disclaimer. Do you remember when your grandparents used this phrase? If I had a quarter, I think my grandparents said if I had a dime, for every time you, fill in the blank, I'd retire and move away and be rich. Well, sadly, my friend, due to inflation, we are retiring coin money. Tanya N Smith (02:25.235) Mm-hmm. for sure. Jen (02:34.626) And we are only allowed to deal in tens and twenties because I mean, it's spendy out there folks. It's spending. So Tanya, if we had a $10 for every time either one of us has used one of these phrases, we would be podcasting from an island somewhere. And here are the phrases most often used by us. And this is why I can't be in charge. All the time. Here's another one that we use all the time. Tanya N Smith (02:47.667) Mm. Tanya N Smith (02:59.292) every day. Jen (03:03.608) From now on, you are the one making all my decisions. I'm done. I'm done. Why didn't you step in and intervene? Tanya N Smith (03:07.813) every other day. Jen (03:17.476) of For the Love of Nancy Reagan. You let me. Tanya N Smith (03:19.933) For the love. Yes, why did you let me do that? my word. Jen (03:25.42) Yes, and I don't know why Nancy Reagan, that's just who we use. And then here's one of my all-time favorites that we have said multiple times. What would Dolly do? I mean, what would Dolly do? Tanya N Smith (03:36.051) preach that one what would Dolly do? Listen, we know she would put on her heels and put on her makeup and she would look fantastic doing it. Jen (03:43.894) and she would do it, and she would do it well. So listen. Tanya N Smith (03:46.545) I love these. love these. I'm sorry. You have more. Go on, go on. Jen (03:49.484) No, no, listen, I'm not too proud to say it and I know you're not too proud to say it either. We need help, all of the help, in all of the ways, at all of the times. And both of us helping each other and supporting each other, it's been a pillar of our friendship for the past 25 years. The fact that we have either been on the front row of each other's lives or possibly co-piloted one another into some kind of shenanigans. Tanya N Smith (04:06.087) Yeah. Yeah. Jen (04:18.068) situation and the goings-on and the doings, it means that we have historical records. These are receipts, if you will, of all of the things. And so this letter is simply to remind you that there are no takesy-backsies. We've come too far. We're just going to keep moving on. And as such, I was going to make you a promise that I was going to be more chill in 2025. But even as I'm writing this, you and I both know Tanya N Smith (04:23.911) Mm-hmm. Tanya N Smith (04:47.059) You Jen (04:47.296) And I can, I know you're laughing because that's just simply not going to happen. But here's what I'm going to attempt. And by attempt, that means of course you're signed up to support in all the ways I'm going to attempt self acceptance. No wait before you I roll self acceptance does not include the following. We will not be accepting fine lines and wrinkles. Tanya N Smith (05:15.027) Mm-mm. Jen (05:16.856) gray hair, or ugly shoes. Tanya N Smith (05:17.811) No, no, no, ugly shoes and no, absolutely not. Jen (05:22.67) There may be more that we add to this list later, but those are the top three that we will not be accepting in 2025. Tanya N Smith (05:28.453) No fine lines and wrinkles, no gray hair for us. For us, other people it's okay, but for us, we can't do it. Yeah. Right. Jen (05:34.21) You know, some people look amazing in gray hair and I celebrate it, but I'm probably not one of those people. So perhaps you were suspecting that I was going to reach out to you in early 2025 and say, this is the all new improved gin, new year, new me. But alas, no, but also yes, because I think that even though self-acceptance might seem small, It's going to be something that's big. And so part of self-acceptance might be me being OK with being an ambivert, which I can hardly even say. Tanya N Smith (06:05.777) Yeah. Tanya N Smith (06:12.787) Did you say ambivert? Did you say the word ambivert in the first five minutes of our podcast? Jen (06:19.63) Yes, yes I did. Mic drop. I need to be okay with not writing a novel, but enjoy writing all the same. Okay, we're gonna accept that my pie crust will always be classified as rustic. Okay, it's just going to be, that's how it's going to go. I will always be reading at least two books. I... Tanya N Smith (06:30.675) Hmm. Tanya N Smith (06:38.163) Hmm. Jen (06:47.118) Probably have spices in my spice cabinet that are expired. I mean who really needs coriander honestly Tanya N Smith (06:53.331) What is it? No, don't even need to It's okay. I've gone this long. Jen (06:56.162) We can't go down that rabbit hole. Jen (07:00.376) There are pictures of you and me from the 1900s before straightening irons and hair therapy, honestly. And they're going to stay out there. And here's what we need to do. We need to say, she was me. I am her and accept that. So here are marching orders together, dear friend for 2025. God loves us and we love one another. And let's just keep moving on. Tanya N Smith (07:05.871) bless our hearts. Tanya N Smith (07:18.589) Yeah, yeah, Tanya N Smith (07:29.991) I love it. Yay! Do you know how it thrilled me to read this letter? Like it was, okay, first of all, a letter, come on. Who has sent me a letter? I felt like the Blue's Clues guys. Like, yeah, I got a letter. And then I just love everything about it. And here's why it meant so much to me. You and I have been on this roller coaster when it comes to all the things we are supposed to accept or try to forget or. Jen (07:31.107) Love, Jen. Jen (07:36.654) Aww. I know, I was throwing it back old school. Tanya N Smith (07:58.575) work through on our healing journey. I mean, and I'm not downplaying any of that stuff, but isn't it fascinating that we have seen a revolt or maybe a revolution against New Year's resolutions, the New Year, new you mindset. And I wonder, know, friend, like, what does it say about us as a society that we are done? We are done with it always being on a 12 month improvement plan that starts every 12 months. Jen (08:12.792) Right. Jen (08:27.086) Right. Well, first of all, at first I thought it's just me. I'm, I'm revolting. But then I realized, no, I think the whole world is saying, I can't, I can't do it. And I think what it is is, you know, there are probably 915 million books, self-help books out there. There's so many plans. There's so many gurus. There's so many helping us. And again, like you, I'm all in. I want to do my best. want to learn. I want to grow. want to heal. I want to do all the things. But to be able to keep up with all the ounces of water and all of the vitamins and all of the... I can't. And so I need to pick what works for me. I need to accept myself where I am and move forward. But love where I'm at. If I'm always waiting... Tanya N Smith (09:09.094) Right? Jen (09:23.118) For the best me there is, I don't get to enjoy the me that I am now. Tanya N Smith (09:27.195) my gosh, that is so good. And I wish I knew that before I was, I mean, now that I'm 30, I'm beginning to learn a few things. Jen (09:35.67) Right. Same. Same, sister, same. Yeah. Well, a little. Tanya N Smith (09:39.079) Right? LOL. I'm a little older than that. But yeah, yeah. No, I mean, I say all the time I wouldn't go back to being 20 or 30. And that's not because I didn't love that part of my life or I don't appreciate other people being in that part of their life. It's because that's an exhausting thought to like go back and do it over again. It just really has to do with going back and doing it all over again. Jen (09:51.822) Mm. Jen (10:07.598) Maybe we're more tired. But I also think I wouldn't want to go back to those thought patterns. Right? If I went back, I've got to take my older 30 brain back to my 30 year old self, if that makes sense. Right? I need the wisdom that I have now in my 30 plus. Tanya N Smith (10:09.556) yeah. Tanya N Smith (10:17.171) There you go. Tanya N Smith (10:24.531) Right. Tanya N Smith (10:31.699) Because we've learned a thing or two along the way, coping strategies, mechanisms, survival skills in this world. And we just frankly didn't know them earlier. Jen (10:42.732) Yeah, and I kind of like myself now. Tanya N Smith (10:46.737) I like you too. Okay, I am not going to waste anybody's time. I'm to get right to four questions because you are so good at these four, at these suggestions, I should say. You have four suggestions and I call them ways to like navigate forward in life. There's probably a much better title for them. But Jen, what are your four suggestions for someone wanting to navigate forward in their life? Jen (10:47.989) Aw, thanks, Fred. Jen (11:11.169) Yeah, yeah. Jen (11:15.48) Well, just as we were talking about, these are not resolutions. These are not things we're going to go out and do. But I think, first of all, they have to be our mindset. And if there's anything I want to change, it's less doing and more how I'm approaching or my perspective towards the way that my life is right now. So the first one on the list is the best way to change anything is to understand what it is and why. And so. Tanya N Smith (11:43.223) That's good. Jen (11:44.396) you've heard about the five whys. Yes, everyone knows that you ask why five times to kind of get down to the basis level of what you're thinking or what you're feeling or what you're needing. And I think we don't employ that exercise often enough to really ask ourselves what is happening? Why am I feeling this way? what does this all mean for me right now? We just kind of push that aside. We push our feelings aside and we say, well, I read this article. I watched this great TikTok. I've got to move on with what this person is saying because they're an expert, right? And so stopping to examine why it's important to me or why it's not important to me or why I feel this way, I think it's the first real step in evaluating where you are and what you Tanya N Smith (12:25.116) Yes. Jen (12:38.39) are about and what you want to change or not change. Why are you wanting to make those changes? Tanya N Smith (12:41.553) Okay, so good. This is so, so good. I have a story about this that I have, we've talked about that I want to share it with the listeners about understanding why so that you can figure out what. But before we go, I mean, I want to tell the story because I think it will help somebody else because it did me. But I just want to put a pin in that and I want to say it again, that because you said it. Jen (12:55.47) So good. Tanya N Smith (13:08.505) These are your words. The best way to change anything is to understand what it is and why it is. And like you said, there are so many voices in our head that I think we forget to stop and say, what am I feeling? Why am I feeling it? And like, am I dead inside? Like me, like, you know, because sometimes when I am feeling that way, it's because I have absolutely forgotten to check in with myself, but we're going to come to that later. Please tell us number two, the second suggestion. Jen (13:37.038) I love that check in with yourself number two. These are some of the wisest words that I've ever read that were written by you my friend and You wrote them in a book titled reframed in the year 2020 of our of our Lord and Savior when life was super hard and You said embrace the season that you were in and boy did we have to embrace that season hard or that Season, embrace that's hard. But embrace the season that you're in. You know, I was reminded the other day, there's this song by Trace Adkins and it says, you're gonna miss this, right? And he's talking about raising the kids and things are hard and things are difficult and your job and your family and this and that or something else. And you know, you're gonna miss it. There are joys and there are beauty. Tanya N Smith (14:08.947) Right? Yeah. Yeah. Jen (14:35.286) all around us, all the time, even in the difficult times. And we have to stop and check in with ourselves and embrace the season that we're in and learn from it. Really dig in and learn from it to enjoy it before we move. Yeah. Tanya N Smith (14:48.307) Thank you. Tanya N Smith (14:53.031) Wise words. Jen (14:55.672) Kudos to you, friend! Tanya N Smith (14:57.427) Well, what I need to do is go back and read that chapter again called embrace in in our book because In that time period I believe I was doing that. I don't believe I've done it well Every single season since I wrote it or have I even thought about it, but it is my goal and I think it was on my mind and in my heart when I wrote it definitely but Yeah, I mean this too shall pass Jen (15:25.496) Sometimes we just need the reminder. Tanya N Smith (15:27.155) is a good and a bad thing, right? Okay. Well, thanks for quoting me. I didn't see that coming. Okay. Jen (15:29.708) Yeah. Yeah. Jen (15:34.414) Well, number three is that mistakes will be made. So plan for your discomfort. know, several years ago, my coach told me you need to pre plan. You need to prepare for prepare for difficult conversations ahead of time. Prepare for what resources are you going to need to get you through this season or this next difficult thing? And, you know, a lot of times we hop up and we put our boots on and we go out there and we try to do life and we, don't even think about really what we need to prepare ourselves for. And it was her wise words. Things are going to come up, prepare yourself ahead of time. Know that when you go to have this conversation, that's going to be difficult and walk into the discomfort knowing it's going to be uncomfortable, but I'm going to do it anyway. and so Tanya N Smith (16:10.193) No, we don't. Jen (16:31.434) in this self-acceptance moment, I'm gonna make mistakes. I'm gonna make mistakes every single day. And I need to plan for that to be painful and to hurt and to be patient with myself and to try again tomorrow. Tanya N Smith (16:48.631) that's so good. I have two things to add barely. Number one is, Jesus make this easy. The number of times a day that I say that to Jesus, Jesus make this easy. I'm about to encounter something that it's either uncomfortable. I'm not prepared for, I didn't expect whatever. And then the second thing is you said mistakes will be made and those aren't always mistakes made by us. Sometimes it's someone else's mistake. Jen (17:13.998) That's right. Tanya N Smith (17:17.127) that lands in our lap and you talk about learning how to be patient, planning for discomfort. Jen (17:25.282) That is so true. Absolutely. A fender bender, a word that someone says to you that just lands wrong or hurts your feeling. Choices are made, you know, loss. All of that comes at you not planned for, not prepared, not picked by you. But your discomfort is going to be off the charts. And we have to be prepared for that. Tanya N Smith (17:25.361) when it's like out of your control. Tanya N Smith (17:43.005) Right. Tanya N Smith (17:46.983) That's so true. Yes. Well, in the way that we prepare is by, I mean, what you said planning ahead, it's so brilliant because we have put this into action. You and I in different ways have talked about this throughout the year. Sean and I have talked about this. When something blindsides us, I mean, whether you want to talk about like someone driving badly on the interstate or a family member, whatever is having something or a friend, know, just whatever a coworker, like whatever you're dealing with, you decide ahead of time how you're going to react. Jen (18:20.142) Mm. Tanya N Smith (18:20.379) And you think, you can't do that. You can't decide in every situation how you're going to react, but you can decide to pause. And you can decide to pull back for a second and take a deep breath and not react until you have thought about it. And I just always like to think, what do I look like in the moments that I'm reacting? It can be very humbling. Let me tell you, can be very scary. Jen (18:39.95) Right. Yeah. Jen (18:46.796) I'm glad there's not a camera recording every moment of my life. Yeah. Tanya N Smith (18:49.403) Right, it's not the actual Truman Show. Okay, so good. Let's go on to your fourth suggestion. Jen (18:55.054) So this last one is maybe not a suggestion as much as a reminder that self-acceptance is not a resignation. I'm not giving up. Right. I'm not quitting all the things. What I'm doing is putting acceptance of myself and where I'm at and the season that I'm in ahead of anything that I want to remove. change, negate, leave, whatever the case may be. I'm putting at the top of my list to do is accepting right where I'm at right now. Tanya N Smith (19:36.751) I love that you clarified that because yes, I have sometimes thought self-acceptance means stop trying. And it can, but it doesn't have to if you reframe it in a different way. If you say, accept that I don't know everything I want to know about this topic so I can start from where I am and learn more. It's a more positive approach, right? Jen (20:05.59) Right. And you're giving yourself the grace. science is proven when we give our self-validation and acceptance, we're much more likely to change than if we're setting rules out for ourselves. And I know I've shared this story before, but the times that I said I'm going to get up at 5 a.m. and I'm going to exercise. Tanya N Smith (20:20.827) I don't Jen (20:32.972) And you're going to do it, Jennifer. And there's no excuses, right? And I do that four days in a row. And the fifth day, I'm like, yeah, I'm not getting up early to exercise. Right? And if I accept that, OK, this is not the way that works for Jennifer. Here's what works for Jennifer. Right? Tanya N Smith (20:41.8) Yeah. Tanya N Smith (20:50.349) there you go. Yes, I like that. I love the way you switch that because I can be real easy on myself. You know? Jen (20:58.094) Right, but we can also be very harsh on ourselves too and very critical. Yeah. Tanya N Smith (21:00.915) same time. That's so good. So instead of being like you no good dirty dog, you didn't get up when it was 5am and it was 40 degrees outside and go walking by yourself in the misery of the dawn, you would be like, maybe I should walk this afternoon. Jen (21:15.726) Maybe I should go ride the exercise bike. Maybe I should take the stairs at work several more times. There are options that I can give myself. Tanya N Smith (21:23.485) There you go. Jen (21:28.802) that don't have anything to do with me being critical about something that probably shouldn't have been in my life in the first place, right? A rule that I imposed on myself or a resolution that I imposed on myself that doesn't even really fit and doesn't get me to where I want to be anyway. I think that's key. It just doesn't get me to where I want to be. So why even put it up there? Tanya N Smith (21:42.895) Yeah, a made up rule. Yes. Okay, flashback. That's so good. I just had a flashback, you know, back in another life, I was a teacher and I remember very little about my time as a college student training to be a teacher. But I do remember that I took a summer class to learn how to teach physical education. I had to get up at the crack of dawn, drive 30 minutes and sit in a classroom to learn how to teach physical education. And I thought, this is ridiculous. What have I done with my life? But here's what I remember. One of the many things, mistakes, and they were mine. Okay, I remember two things, lying. I remember two things. The instructor had a different color of nail polish on every single day. It was a summer class. We met five days a week. Every single day, her nail polish matched her outfit. Hello. This was 1995. Jen (22:22.39) Mistakes have been made. Jen (22:43.093) Love. Love. Tanya N Smith (22:45.713) Okay, now something that actually matters. She told us this story that when she was first teaching physical education at her school, that she had a list of rules and she so happily wrote one through 10, do not touch the balls, know, whatever, do not do this. Absolutely no running here. And she had all of these 10 rules and she said they were very clear and easy to understand. And she was so proud of herself. And her principal came in and he looked at the rules for a little bit and he said, so these are the rules for your gym. And she said, yes, they are. And he said, OK, those are good rules. But I'm going to have you take them down. And I want you to rewrite them all without using no and do not. Jen (23:36.302) I had literally just got chills. Tanya N Smith (23:41.459) And this was back before, you know, we assumed people cared about kids. Jen (23:43.296) Right, conscious discipline and all the things. Yes, yes, when we knew nothing. Tanya N Smith (23:48.061) So, yeah, we knew nothing but this principal did. And he or she said, that's not the way to affect change and to gain the respect and to have a nurturing environment. Take them all down. I'm sorry, my septic alarm is going off. you give me just a second to text my husband. Okay, hang on. Jen (24:07.776) Okay, absolutely. Plan for discomfort. Tanya N Smith (24:14.267) Okay, this is a fun game we're playing. Jen (24:21.922) Let's just accept right where you're at and brace this season, Tanya. Tanya N Smith (24:25.137) Thank you, thank you, because it's hot. Can you hear it buzzing? That is alarming because I'm assuming the neighbors can. It is so loud because it's attached to this wall of which I am sitting in the room of. So. Jen (24:28.684) I cannot at all. Jen (24:34.648) Wow, okay. Well, I wanna... Jen (24:40.556) Wow, I want to give a shout out to the mics that are only picking up your voice and not that your home is melting down currently. Tanya N Smith (24:49.139) I just heard Sean open the door to go outside. Okay, so here's what happened today at 6 a.m. I pulled the big dogs inside at 6 45 a.m. A crew showed up to take my roof off and put it back on from the May damage from the May damage. What? How can that be Tanya? It's February 2025. That's what I'm saying. It takes a long time when everyone in Benton County needs a new roof. And then in the process of that, we had to call a plumber who said, Oh, you need a new septic pump. And I was just like, what am I, an ATM? So Sean, we're just, it's hemorrhaging over here is what I'm saying to you. It's hemorrhaging. I can hear Sean out there like pressing buttons right now trying to get everything to be quiet. Jen (25:22.36) No. Jen (25:31.574) horrible I'm so sorry Tanya N Smith (25:39.331) I predict there'll be a plumber here in a few minutes. What do you think? Jen (25:42.476) I think you're going to get a plumber in the middle of the night. Yes. Tanya N Smith (25:46.149) my word. Okay, well we're just gonna keep going. We're gonna push on because it is very important to me to tell the story with you. I feel safe telling these stories with you because you point out to the listeners all of the gaps and you explain me really well. Like a translator, if you will. True story, I woke up at the end of January and I realized something huge about myself. Jen (25:50.914) I love it. Tanya N Smith (26:14.653) that I had been living in survival mode since, for me, I can measure it since the end of May. We had a lot of things happen around here all at once, and I truly thought I was handling them one at a time, doing a great job. Like, knock that one down, give me another. Knock that one down, give me another. And I noticed one day that the systems Jen (26:17.006) Mm-hmm. Tanya N Smith (26:42.877) that I had previously relied on to help order my thoughts and organize my days. Those had not even been thought of since the end of May. Tanya N Smith (26:55.567) And I do not use the term survival mode lightly. I'm not using that lightly in this situation. Let me read to you the definition that I found on the Google machine. And this is from jcmh.org. It stands for some name. Survival mode is essentially booting, as a computer term, in safe mode. Things like trauma, prolonged grief, and even just burnout can cause our brains to opt into booting this way. It basically, our brain is entering survival mode. Do you remember back when we had the big computers where we would turn them on in safe mode? So if there was a virus, the virus would not attack the computer and bring it down? Jen (27:34.978) you Tanya N Smith (27:44.039) That's what it's talking about. And survival mode clicks us into suppressing something within us in our brain. So anyway, what I've learned is any short or long term, very stressful experience can be traumatizing. And we can't measure it against someone else's trauma. So you know the trauma responses. Fight, flight. Jen (27:44.184) Right. Jen (28:10.094) don't know. Tanya N Smith (28:11.549) freeze and then the one that we all now understand that is, yeah, fun. So what I've learned again from this website that these result in your body saying, I will only do essential functions. That is all I'm capable. Jen (28:15.118) Yeah. Jen (28:28.014) Right. It's like COVID when essential workers were the only ones allowed to go and do the work, right? Everyone else had to stay home. Tanya N Smith (28:36.723) 100 % yes. Jen (28:38.198) Yeah, and your body is like, we're only, we're now I'm doing the bare minimum. We're keeping the lights on. That's about it. All extra activities will be paused. Tanya N Smith (28:48.241) Right. Right. Food in mouth, lights on, lights off. Do it over again the next day. Did we survive it? Yes, we did. Okay, we did something right. Keep going. Jen (28:59.918) Yeah. Tanya N Smith (29:02.739) Okay, back to this website. We often have a lack of focus. I'm raising my hand. A feeling of, wait, what just happened? Like the feeling of reading something five times over and you still don't know what you just read, what it's about, or even listening to it. You feel like you're operating on a short fuse or you're just simply exhausted and procrastinating things that you wouldn't usually procrastinate. because your higher functioning brain has shut down in favor of base survival. Jen (29:34.68) Wow, as you're reading that, I'm curious, like, what's your response to that knowing that has been you for months? Tanya N Smith (29:45.869) I was very surprised that I had not checked in with myself sooner. I thought I knew myself better than that. And I thought I was above it. Jen (29:52.686) Mm-hmm. Tanya N Smith (29:57.415) Yeah, I really did. And then people saying, you're doing a great job. You're doing such a great, you know, you're doing such a great job. look at you, you're doing a great job. And I thought, I must be doing a great job. Tanya N Smith (30:10.597) On the outside, I do believe I was. On the inside, I believe I was struggling a Jen (30:15.906) Yeah, yeah. I think we're. Tanya N Smith (30:17.329) You know, and isn't that what we kind of have learned to do in our lives? Keep it inside. You gotta move forward. You got, know. Jen (30:26.84) You're going to get up every day and you're going to keep going. Yeah. Tanya N Smith (30:29.095) Yeah. I'm hearing Joshua like yelling back and forth with Sean in the backyard. And I just don't think it sounds good. I just think something's going. Jen (30:37.07) I love that this whole scenario at your home is basically mirroring what we're saying. We're just accepting it. I don't know, we're just accepting it. It's fine. Tanya N Smith (30:44.147) It is so... Like, we're up to here in sewage. Jen (30:52.75) totally fine. Tanya N Smith (30:52.849) Moving on, doing a podcast like it's not even happening. Jen (30:56.174) That is clearly someone else's gig. I don't even know. Tanya N Smith (31:01.039) okay. So reading this article, this helped me. Okay, first of all, sitting down and Googling survival mode opened my mind to girl, that's you. And I think it's other people. Jen (31:05.954) We have. Jen (31:11.31) Sure. Jen (31:15.286) Okay, well let me go back to what we just said. The best way to make a change in anything is to understand what it is and why it is. Tanya N Smith (31:22.951) That's it. That's it. Because I didn't know how to help myself because I didn't know what I was helping. I just didn't know. Here's what I learned. And you have told me these things. Here it is written out in one sentence. Well, two. There are three ways of responding to manage and prevent survival mode. Self-compassion. who just said that? Self-regulation. who said that? Embrace. Jen (31:24.887) Yeah Tanya N Smith (31:51.545) and self-care. who said that? That was you. Self-compassion, self-regulation. I know what I'm gonna do when it happens to me. I'm gonna pre-plan. Self-care. I'm gonna accept where I am and not be ashamed of it. Gonna move on. Okay, I have to text them because the alarm just went off again. Jen (31:59.854) Mm-hmm. Jen (32:14.252) I love it. We're just going to accept right where we're at. Tanya's self-regulating her emotions right now and caring for the family. Jen (32:28.654) You know, we really wanted to bring a real life scenario to the podcast today. Tanya N Smith (32:34.574) my word. Jen (32:36.876) Yeah. Tanya N Smith (32:38.043) Okay, yeah, I'm trying to, yes, I'm trying to self-regulate right now because I'm like, why? Why? Here's what I think. We must have something really good to say to people because it's very difficult to complete this podcast. Jen (32:43.447) Yeah. Jen (32:48.992) It's very difficult tonight. It's very difficult tonight, for sure. Tanya N Smith (32:53.819) Well, again, that if you want, if you feel like you've been in survival mode, it would not surprise me friends is what I'm saying because it snuck up on me and one day turned into the next, turned into the next. And here's what I ended up saying to Sean. Now let me, I'm not far removed from this, nor have I completely popped out of this mode because it was just days ago I said to Sean, my goodness, I only do two things a day. Jen (33:04.462) Mm-hmm. Tanya N Smith (33:23.215) I am not okay. And he said, Jen (33:25.87) You're just becoming aware of what is happening to you. Yeah. Tanya N Smith (33:32.273) Yeah, just now. So I'm going to work on self-compassion, self-regulation, especially when my septic alarm is screaming in my ear while I'm podcasting. And I think I do a pretty good job of self-care. So I'm going to be like, you know what? Good job. Keep it up. Keep it up. But yeah. Jen (33:51.682) Keep it up. You're doing well. Well, one of my favorite questions to ask you all the time is how are you resourcing yourself? How are you taking care of yourself? And so let's just have a mini coaching session right now. How are you resourcing yourself now that we know where you are and how you are? Tanya N Smith (34:00.025) Okay, I love it when you ask me that question. I love it when you ask me that. Jen (34:15.842) What are the ways that you're going to support yourself? Tanya N Smith (34:20.037) Okay, I am going back to time blocking my days. And this is not because I'm trying to regulate and what am I trying to militarize my life? It's because like I heard someone say recently, if you have a dog, what do you want to do? You want to build the dog offense? Why do you build the dog offense? Cause you want it to run around and enjoy its life. So when I time block my days, it means, Jen (34:34.274) Mm-hmm. Tanya N Smith (34:48.623) On Tuesdays, that day is all about this instead of everyone else's. Or Thursdays, that is self-care day from morning to evening. You get to do that whole day. Jen (34:52.472) Yeah. Jen (34:58.99) Wow, so you're building yourself in some self care by blocking your time. You know that you cannot completely rearrange the schedule, obviously, and there are things that you're not gonna be able to manage time-wise because they're gonna get pushed to you. But you are setting up time to care for yourself and blocking time for the things that matter. Tanya N Smith (35:03.731) Mm-hmm. Tanya N Smith (35:09.523) Mm-mm. Tanya N Smith (35:22.887) That's the only way I know how to do it. I don't know another way. Jen (35:24.928) As your coach, I'm giving you two enthusiastic thumbs up on that. I do, yes. You're putting yourself back on the schedule and you haven't been on the schedule for a minute. Tanya N Smith (35:29.073) All you do? Let me tell you, that makes me so happy. Tanya N Smith (35:36.571) I am. you know, another thing that I appreciate about the awareness of survival mode is spiritual wellness. Jen (35:46.126) Hmm. Tanya N Smith (35:48.027) I heard that in a way that I had not heard it before, I think, you know, that's one of the, one of the reasons why I've enjoyed growing older is because I do hear things the same way, but different, you know what I mean? That's it. But it does suggest like we're burned out and we can't see the bigger picture anymore. And that is one of the reasons why our brain clicks to survival mode because we haven't stopped and like, Jen (36:00.066) Yes, I hear the same things, but they land differently. Yeah. Tanya N Smith (36:17.075) Maybe for me, for me it's journaling and having like, I can see my one year, three year, five year goals or what I want to do this week or today. But I have to see, I have to visually see it. I forget, I forget so fast. But when I stopped seeing that bigger picture burnout, because I'm like, I don't remember why I was doing that small thing in that way. Yeah. So like, Jen (36:40.362) Right. I've forgotten. Right. Tanya N Smith (36:46.771) I work so hard on myself and I work so hard on the job that I'm doing, but the fruits of my labor, they come out as skittles instead of watermelons. And I'm like, now, what am I doing this for? You know? Jen (36:58.39) love that. Say that again. Tanya N Smith (37:05.263) As like, for instance, right now, my house is literally falling down around me, but no, I'm kidding. It's not, it's all okay. It's figure outable. But no, the fruits of my labor sometimes come, they are picked as Skittles and I was expecting watermelons. The watermelon is coming. Like, but I forgot the bigger picture and that's hard for me to deal with. Jen (37:08.054) Okay. Jen (37:13.304) Yeah, it is. Jen (37:22.03) you Yeah. Tanya N Smith (37:28.859) And that makes me feel burned out and that makes me feel hopeless and that makes me forget all of my systems and then just boom, I'm back in survival mode again. Jen (37:37.302) Yeah, you get kind of tied down to where you're at and you can only narrow the focus on one tiny little thing. It's like Mark, my husband Mark all the time says it's the broken nail syndrome where it's like there's 50 death by a million paper cuts. There's 50 million things and then you break a fingernail and then that's just you can't cope, right? That's just the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak. Tanya N Smith (37:38.236) So yeah. Tanya N Smith (38:00.945) That is so true. That is so true. I'm sorry, I'm gonna text real quick. Are we addressing the alarm? So, do you like that? Jen (38:08.302) I love how you said that. Are we addressing the alarm? See, I would have texted 911? Tanya N Smith (38:21.331) What is happening in my life right now? Jen (38:21.39) So we are addressing the alarm is what I'm hearing you say. Tanya N Smith (38:25.681) No, they just said we don't hear an alarm. And I'm like, what? can you not hear an alarm? What's happening? happening. Okay so anyway this is funny I'm so glad this is happening why it's happening but anyway you've got to I have to remember how to feel excited about something again because the original excitement like it wanes and I forget what I'm doing anything for so Jen (38:37.368) my goodness. Jen (38:50.734) Yeah. Jen (38:56.046) for sure. Tanya N Smith (38:59.827) Anyway, that's where, that's okay. That was where, that's where I am. Like everything's okay. Nothing terrible has happened in my life. I just got off track and burdened down by a lot of things at once, like everyone does. And I let myself absolutely fall under the weight of that. And so there we go. I'm just saying it could happen to you too. And if it does self-compassion, self-regulation and self-care, just like you told us in those four ways of moving forward. Jen (39:00.067) guess. Tanya N Smith (39:29.997) I'm going to go back up to those because they're so good. You said the best way to change anything is to understand what it is and why it is. And then we talked about go ahead and embrace that season that you are in. Mistakes will be made. We need to plan for the discomfort and be patient. And then fourth and finally, we're not resigning. We're not giving up. We are moving forward while understanding where we're starting from. Jen (39:59.522) Right. And I think that's so key in the story that you just told about yourself. Now that you're understanding where you're starting from or where you're currently at, why it's happening and what it is, you can come in and triage yourself and take care of yourself and resource yourself to the next place. Right. And so you're not, you're not quitting. You're not resigning. You're supporting yourself in a way to make meaningful change without prescribing to yourself a regiment and list of dos and don'ts. Just like in your story with the the gym teacher and the principal. doesn't have to be don't do this. It could simply say be, I see where I'm at. I didn't realize I was here. This isn't exactly where I want to be. This is the perspective I want to have. This is the joy that I want to put back in my life. Tanya N Smith (40:40.509) So true. Jen (40:58.328) Here's what I'm really attempting with these resolutions or these rules or these goals. Here's what I'm really attempting to obtain is that are a better way to obtain that than getting up at 5 a.m. and exercising in the cold and dark. Absolutely there's better ways to do it. There's better ways to take care of yourself than setting up rules. Tanya N Smith (41:21.959) I'm so glad you're here today. Thank you for talking us through this. I cannot imagine a better conversation, a more timely conversation, a more helpful way of learning how to move forward and process through things that we're processing through. We're going to do this again, right? Jen (41:38.35) I would love to do this again. I love the thought of having conversations to support ourselves, to grow, to learn, and to learn to take care of ourselves. Tanya N Smith (41:50.987) me too. Okay, friends, hey, that's all for today. But you can find the video version where you see me have an actual meltdown on Patreon.com/SuperYes. And we're on all the podcast platforms at the superlatively yes podcast. We're going to list all of our Instagram stuff in the show notes. So hey, don't forget to always check the show notes. That's like our diary. You've got to go there and check the show notes. We're putting all the fun stuff there. Jen, my friend, it's always so great to spend time with you and I can't wait to do it again. Jen (42:19.97) You too. Yeah, go check on your alarms. Tanya N Smith (42:23.279) I am. Thank you everyone for listening to the Super Yes Podcast. Have a great rest of your day. Jen (42:29.966)  

Fred, from Alaska, shares two eerie and unsettling encounters with the unknown in the Alaskan wilderness. The first story revolves around 'Patrick and Tina' from the Copper River Valley, who experienced strange whispering and movements during a walk near their home. Their experience escalated to feelings of imminent danger and a sighting of a large, dark figure that stalked them through the woods. The second tale features 'Benson and Terry,' who ventured on a fly-fishing trip along the Kuskokwim River and encountered a towering, mysterious figure that trailed and terrorized them. Both stories highlight unusual wilderness experiences that challenge the skepticism of the witnesses and evoke fear and uncertainty.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMVisit HIMS.COM00:00 Introduction and Setting the Scene 00:29 A Mysterious Encounter Begins 01:02 The Whispering in the Woods 02:44 Escalation and Fear 06:51 A Dark Figure Appears 15:46 The Final Dash to Safety 19:51 Another Encounter: Benson and Terry's Story 23:42 Terry's Encounter with the Unknown 24:25 Setting Up Camp and Feeling Watched 25:36 A Night of Alarms and Ominous Feelings 27:59 The Mysterious Creature Revealed 29:10 Benson's Skepticism and the Second Encounter 32:05 The Hypnotic Whistle and Creepy Feelings 37:07 The Final Confrontation 42:05 Escape and ReflectionBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Political correspondent Sam Sokol and reporter Diana Bletter join host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Sokol discusses the range of comments and reactions from Knesset members to the remarks made by US President Donald Trump regarding the possible relocation of Gazans from the Strip during the expectedly long reconstruction period. He looks at the expectedly pleased statements from the far-right end of the government, including National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich to the more guarded comments from opposition leader Yair Lapid and National Unity party leader Benny Gantz. Bletter reports on her trips to several northern villages, where residents are waiting to see if the ceasefire with Hezbollah will hold. Her visit to Alawite village Ghajar, the Israeli town of Mattat and the Druze village of Hurfeish left her with an impression of residents eager to return to regular life but unsure as to what the future may hold.

Donald Trump was once a cryptocurrency skeptic, saying as recently as 2021 that bitcoin “seems like a scam.” Today, some critics are saying the same thing about the president's now fervent embrace of crypto, both in his business investments and policy decisions. During the campaign, Trump promised to make the United States the “crypto capital of the planet,” while taking tens of millions in donations from the industry. After the election, he and Melania Trump both touted the release of a crypto meme coin featuring their images. And last week, after making appointments and issuing executive orders aimed at boosting the industry, the president's social media startup Truth Social announced plans to expand into crypto. Now some legal experts, and even industry leaders, are voicing serious ethics concerns. We'll look at what Trump's pro-crypto stance might mean for the future of digital assets, the economy, and national security. Guests: Andrew R. Chow, correspondent, Time; author, "Cryptomania: Hype, Hope, and the Fall of FTX's Billion-Dollar Fintech Empire" Zeke Faux, investigative reporter, Bloomberg; author "Number Go Up: Inside Crypto's Wild Rise and Staggering Fall"

It's Monday, February 3rd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus European Union delegation warns Pakistan about human rights abuses On Friday, a European Union delegation said that Pakistan's preferential trade status could be jeopardized if it does not address human rights concerns, including controversial Islamic blasphemy laws, forced marriages and conversions of Christian girls, and freedom of religion, reports Morning Star News. According to Open Doors, Pakistan is the 8th worst country worldwide for the persecution of Christians. In John 15:18, Jesus said, “If the world hates you, know that it has hated Me before it hated you.” Reagan Airport's control tower was understaffed Since an Army Blackhawk helicopter crashed into an American Airlines jet last Wednesday night, killing all 67 people aboard both, authorities are taking a closer look at what went wrong. Staffing at the air traffic control tower at Ronald Reagan National Airport was “not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic,” reports The New York Times. The controller, who was handling helicopters in the airport's vicinity Wednesday night, was also handling planes that were landing and departing from its runways. Those jobs typically are assigned to two controllers, not one. The Reagan airport tower was nearly one-third below targeted staff levels, with 19 fully certified controllers as of September 2023 instead of the recommended 30 controllers, according to the most recent Air Traffic Controller Workforce Plan. Alarms were raised about ‘congested' airspace before fatal D.C. crash In related news, Daniel Driscoll, Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of the Army, questioned why military helicopters needed to conduct training exercises near such a busy commercial airport, reports The Guardian. Driscoll told lawmakers that the incident seemed “preventable” and vowed to review Army practices. Martin Chalk, a former British Airways captain who retired in 2020, said, “The military tend to have a bit of a law-unto-themselves approach,” explaining that military pilots do not have to follow all civil aviation protocols. Senator Kennedy urges Kash Patel to reform the FBI, not burn it down Kash Patel, President Donald Trump's nomination for director of the FBI, was at the center of a tense and highly charged Senate hearing Thursday in which he defended his calls for significant reform at the beleaguered agency. Patel, age 44, worked as a counterterrorism prosecutor for the U.S. Justice Department under the Obama administration. Then, he served in the first Trump administration as chief of staff for the U.S. Department of Defense, deputy director of National Intelligence, and senior director for counterterrorism at the National Security Council.  Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana had a fascinating exchange with Patel. KENNEDY: “You're not saying that everybody at the FBI is bad, are you?” PATEL: “Never said that. I've overwhelmingly said, multiple times, that 98% of the FBI is courageous, apolitical, warriors of justice. They just need better leadership.” KENNEDY: “Who put away the Unabomber?” PATEL: “The FBI.” KENNEDY:  “Who put away Timothy McVeigh and his [Joseph] Stalin's stomach for blood?” PATEL “Agents at the FBI.” KENNEDY:  “Who helped investigate Jesse Smollett, who, in an effort of self-aggrandizement, set back the fight for minority rights for years?  The FBI had opened an investigation, wasn't it.” PATEL: “Eventually, yes, Senator.” KENNEDY: “There have been or were some bad people at the FBI and the Justice Department. Mr. Hunter Biden cheated on his income taxes. Didn't pay $1.4 million in income taxes over four years. And he filed fraudulent returns. He tried to deduct his hookers as a business expense, and they hit him with two misdemeanors before there was a public outcry. Don't you think the American people are entitled to know the details of that?” PATEL: “The American people are entitled to a singular form of justice and the details to every public corruption investigation.” KENNEDY: “You, you remember Peter Strzok?” PATEL: “I sure do.” KENNEDY: “One of the lead investigators for Mr. [Robert] Mueller's Russian collusion hoax.” PATE: “Yes, Senator.” KENNEDY: “You remember when the Inspector General, not his colleagues, turned him in? Inspector General found that Mr. Peter Strzok sent an email to his girlfriend. ‘Just went to a Southern Virginia Walmart. I could smell the Trump support.' Remember that?” PATEL: “He did that while employed at the FBI, while working on that investigation.” KENNEDY: “Do you remember when the IG revealed another email by Mr. Strzok to his girlfriend? Mr. Strzok said, ‘I am riled up. Trump is an idiot. Is unable to provide a coherent answer.'” PATEL: “Peter Strzok said that.” KENNEDY: “You remember when his girlfriend texted Mr. Strzok? [She said,] ‘Trump's not ever going to become president, right?' And Mr. Strzok replied, ‘No. No, he won't. We'll stop it!'” PATEL: “I do remember their insurance policy.” KENNEDY: “And then Mr. Strzok testified, in front of God and country, that never had his political beliefs impacted his work. You believe in the tooth fairy?” PATEL: (laughs) “When I was a kid.” (crowd laughs) KENNEDY: “You believe Jimmy Hoffa died of natural causes?” (laughter)  Then Mr. Strzok got fired, and next thing we know, the FBI and the Department of Justice, after he sued, gave him $1.2 million. Don't you think the American people are entitled to know the details of that?” PATEL: “Absolutely!” Senator Kennedy gave Kash Patel this advice once he's confirmed to be the new FBI Director. KENNEDY: “Now, I want you to think hard before you answer my next question. Do you believe in the adage that ‘two wrongs don't make a right, but they do make it even'”? PATEL: “Senator, I think if anyone commits a wrong in government service, the American public deserve to know the absolute detail of that corrupt activity.” KENNEDY: “When reforming the FBI and the Justice Department, ‘two wrongs don't make a right, but they do make it even' is the wrong approach, isn't it?” PATEL: “That's correct.” KENNEDY: “And we're going to hold you accountable for that.” PATEL: “I hope you do.” KENNEDY: “There's some good people at the FBI.” PATEL: “Lots.” KENNEDY: “And there have been, and may still be, some bad people there. And you've got to find out who the bad people are and get rid of ‘em in accordance with due process and the rule of law. And then you got to lift up the good people. Don't go over there and burn that place down. Go over there and make it better! Do you commit to us today that you would do that?” PATEL: “I commit to you, if confirmed, Senator, every single day, 24/7, 365, the FBI will be the premier law enforcement agency in the world!” Christian teen hockey player suffered spinal cord injury And finally, on Friday night, January 24th, while playing hockey, 17-year-old Jackson Drum of Parkers Prairie, Minnesota, sustained a traumatic neck injury during a hockey game in Vancouver, Canada.  When he hit the boards head first, the 6'4”-tall young man with Fellowship of Christian Athletes Hockey endured a devastating spinal cord injury and had a cardiac arrest. Fox 9 in Minneapolis talked with his aunt, Emily Nouyen. NOUYEN:  “There's really no words to describe how our family is feeling.” He was stabilized and rushed to the Vancouver General Hospital. On Saturday, he underwent surgery to fuse C1 and C2 together to stabilize his neck.   NOUYEN: “My sister has said a few times, ‘I feel like I'm in a nightmare!' And that's exactly how I would describe it: just devastation.” Jackson remains on a ventilator, unable to move. NOUYEN: “The doctors in Vancouver have prepared my sister and Jason for the possibility that Jack may not walk again, may not be able to use his arms, and may not breathe on his own.” Jackson has a long road ahead in recovery with considerable medical bills accruing.  It's the family's hope to move Jackson to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota as soon as he's stabilized.   Please pray that God would miraculously heal Jackson Drum.  Pray that the inflammation comes down, that he breathes on his own, and gets feeling back in his arms and legs.   So far, $66,280 has been contributed to pay for his medical care including a medical transport from Canada to Minnesota.
