Start Living Sustainable | Wellness Coach, How to Live Toxic Free for Health-Conscious Women
Tired of trying to DIY your way to a toxin-free home? In this episode, Coach Cynthia shares why fun projects can lead to burnout—and how one private coaching session can bring balance, trust, and lasting wellness. Dear Mom, I see the effort you pour into keeping your home safe—the late-night label reading, the homemade cleaners, the endless tabs open. You don't have to do it all yourself to do it well. In this episode, we talk about how good intentions can turn into exhaustion and why wisdom—not workload—creates real change. I'll help you picture what it's like to work with me inside a one-hour coaching session and how quickly you can see, feel, and breathe the difference. If you've been waiting for a sign that it's time to stop guessing and start living lighter—this is it. XOXO, Cynthia
10/26/2025 Pride | Daniel 4Pride is recognized by an air of arrogant haughtiness, thinking that what we do, say or think matters the most.1. Allure of pride: pride makes us think that we are in control.2. Sneakiness of pride: our personal motive for doing good circumvents the good we do (jealousy and being easily offended, for example).3. Confusion of pride: we have a wrong perspective on things that makes us unteachable and unable to grow (Proverbs 26:2).4. Destruction of pride: pride interferes with our relationship with God. Pride is idolatry, it leads to selfishness, ingratitude, coveting, and envy. Pride robs us of joy and makes us unable to have compassion for others. (Micah 6:8; Phil 2:8).We deserve God's wrath and judgment, but what we get is God's love, His grace, His mercy, and His forgiveness.

Please join us for a cocktail reception and conversation in NYC this fall. We are pleased to have New York Post columnist and author Rikki Schlott in conversation with Cato vice president for general economics and Stiefel Trade Policy Center Scott Lincicome as our featured speakers.Rikki and Scott will examine New York City's mayoral race as a microcosm of a troubling trend: Gen Z's embrace of socialist policies that purportedly fix real economic problems many Americans are facing today. Using candidate Zohran Mamdani's surprising victory as an example, they'll explore how economic pressures and uncertainty are driving many voters toward progressive solutions like industrial policy and rent control, even though free market approaches, including zoning reform and deregulation, offer better, proven pathways to genuine, broad-based prosperity. Why are government-centered policies gaining traction when market-based solutions have historically delivered economic growth, lower prices, and higher living standards?As we approach Cato's 50th anniversary in 2027, our mission is clear: to keep liberty at the forefront of national debates and ensure a freer future for generations to come. To meet this challenge, in May, Cato publicly launched the Vision for Liberty Campaign—a bold initiative to expand our impact and accelerate the spread of the ideas that drive human flourishing. Cato president and CEO Peter Goettler will discuss Cato's policy priorities, as well as how we are developing new audiences and scaling our educational programs. Hosted on Acast.

Arianespace Launch Delay: Arianespace has quietly postponed the inaugural flight of its powerful Orion 64 rocket to 2026, a significant shift from its initial late 2025 schedule. This delay impacts Amazon's Project Cooper satellite constellation, which aims to compete with SpaceX's Starlink, highlighting the challenges of securing reliable launch providers in the competitive space market.Mysterious Interstellar Object: The interstellar object 3I ATLAS is perplexing scientists by emitting nickel tetracarbonyl, a compound never before observed in nature. Unlike typical comets, this object is ejecting material towards the Sun, defying known cometary physics and raising questions about its origins, including the possibility of artificiality.Gamma Ray Glow Debate: Astronomers are revisiting the source of a puzzling gamma ray glow from the Milky Way's center. Recent simulations suggest that a clumpy distribution of dark matter could be responsible, reinforcing the theory that dark matter particles may annihilate and produce detectable gamma rays, adding complexity to the ongoing debate.Double Comet Viewing Opportunity: Stargazers can look forward to a rare sight as Comet LEMMON and Comet Swan approach Earth on October 20. Both comets will be visible with binoculars or small telescopes, and live streams of the event will be available for those unable to observe directly. https://www.virtualtelescope.eu/webtv/ https://www.youtube.com/@GianMasiVirtualTelescope/streamsBest Space Photography Resources: For breathtaking space photography, listeners are encouraged to explore official agency websites like NASA and the European Space Agency, as well as community platforms such as Reddit's r/Astrophotography and AstroDailyPod Bin, where amateur astrophotographers share their stunning work and contribute to citizen science projects.For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

What If Color Had Come First? Let's imagine something wild for a second: what if color photography had been invented first? Would we have ever created black and white photography at all? Or would we have dismissed it as incomplete, a technological limitation, an odd artistic experiment? The fact that we even ask this question says something about black and white photography—it's not just a holdover from history. It's not a fallback or a filter. It's a language. A philosophy. And despite the endless tools and possibilities available to us today, photographers still return to black and white with reverence, as if it holds a kind of truth that color sometimes hides. So let's explore why. Why do we keep stripping away the color? Why does this ancient, “outdated” format still have such a tight grip on our imaginations?

What kind of partner do you want to be someday? Do you think privacy is important in a relationship? What do you think pornography leaves out about real relationships? These are just a few of the unusual yet important questions boys are rarely asked. In this episode, Dr. Delaney Ruston continues her conversation with educator Christopher Pepper and journalist Joanna Schroeder, co-authors of the new book Talk To Your Boys. Together, they discuss how to help boys navigate gaming, romantic relationships, and pornography. They explore online sports betting (“the house always wins”), share ways to bring up sensitive topics like pornography, and highlight the particular role dads can play in guiding these conversations.

One is temporary, the other is long lasting, but which is best? As a breeder, you have many tools that you can use to create and improve your strain. None are more important, or have the force to move your strain forward than that of Prepotency. The problem is, for many breeders, Hybrid Vigor gets all the credit. The truth of the matter, Prepotency and Hybrid Vigor are both incredible forces of nature, but are on opposite sides of the same coin. One is long lasting, and is passed down to future generations, while the other is short lived and can't be reproduced or repeated. Listen in as we discuss the Powers of Prepotency, or the Allure of Hybrid Vigor, and how you can use these forces to improve the quality and performance of your strains. This is a show you do not want to miss! We specialize in breeding, and breeding related topics. This includes proper selection practices and the use of proven breeding programs. It is our mission to provide our followers and members a greater understanding of poultry breeding, poultry genetics, poultry health care and disease prevention, and how to improve the production and performance ability of your fowl. If you are interested in creating a strain, or improving your established strain, you are in the right place. We also want to encourage you to join us at the Breeders Academy, where we will not only help you increase your knowledge of breeding and advance your skills as a breeder, but improve the quality and performance of your fowl.

I used to think so, but Taylor completely changed my perspective. He breaks down how he went from a sales guy to overseeing over $120 million in STR investments by treating it not as a real estate game, but as an operations business.We dive into his first investment—a cabin in the North Georgia mountains that he bought having never owned real estate before—and how it generated $22,000 in cash flow its first year.Taylor reveals the critical mistakes he made, the lessons he learned about market supply and demand, and how a single amenity like a pickleball court can add $40,000 to your annual revenue.We also get into the incredible tax benefits and how STRs can offer active losses to offset your regular income, something I wish I'd known sooner.Questions This Episode Answers:• How can a single pickleball court add over $40,000 in annual revenue to an Airbnb?• Why is a short-term rental business more about operations than real estate?• How can you use short-term rentals to legally reduce your taxable income?• What is the biggest mistake new STR investors make when choosing a property?• Why are large-group rentals and small, romantic getaways the hottest trends right now?Enjoy the conversation!__________________________Love it or hate it, I'd love your feedback.Please fill out this brief survey with your opinion or email me at nik@cofounders.com with your thoughts.__________________________MY NEWSLETTER: https://nikolas-newsletter-241a64.beehiiv.com/subscribeSpotify: https://tinyurl.com/5avyu98yApple: https://tinyurl.com/bdxbr284YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/nikonomicsYT__________________________This week we covered:00:00 The Allure of Short-Term Rentals02:55 Understanding the Operations Behind STRs05:42 The Journey into Real Estate Investment09:00 Lessons from Early Investments12:09 Scaling Up: From One to Multiple Properties14:56 Market Dynamics and Supply-Demand Imbalances18:11 Navigating the Real Estate Landscape20:55 Investment Strategies for Success26:00 Understanding Market Dynamics and Profitability30:13 Revenue Estimation and Occupancy Rates33:25 Tax Implications and Depreciation Strategies40:27 Investment Strategies for Short-Term Rentals47:31 Advice for New Investors in Short-Term Rentals
What if the secret to confidence, peak performance, and even happiness wasn't about being perfect all the time—but learning how to access a powerful brainwave state on demand? In this conversation, I sit down with Dr. Izzy Justice—neuroscientist, performance coach, and author of Your Brain Swings Every Club—to explore the science of brainwaves, trauma, and what he calls “Chasing 10 Hertz.” You'll hear how endurance events, emotional relativity, and even micro-traumas shape confidence, how to intentionally “spike down” into presence, and why your brain's electricity is the language of the human experience. Dr. Justice breaks down how confidence and pessimism are simply access issues, why sensory input is the key to flow, and how to simplify your pursuit of peak performance in golf, business, and life. In this episode, you'll learn: Why doing hard things expands your benchmark for confidence and resilience How trauma—both big and micro—acts as the ultimate backdrop for your decisions The neuroscience behind brainwave states and their impact on performance What makes the 10 Hertz state so powerful and how to access it How to “spike down” when stress or distraction takes over Why happiness is really about amplifying sensory input A practical way to simplify performance by only being “perfect” twice a day Get your pencils ready and start listening.

Instagram: @thegolfhypnotherapist Twitter: @parsoverbogeys Key Takeaways: Confidence is access, not a trait—you either access empowering memories or traumatic ones. Trauma is the ultimate benchmark—it shapes risk perception more than success does. Electricity is the brain's language—high spikes drown sensory input and sabotage performance. 10 Hertz is the sweet spot—it amplifies sensory input and unlocks stored knowledge. Presence = sensory amplification—seeing, feeling, hearing more deeply in the moment. Flow isn't magic—it's measurable through brainwaves, heart rate, and oxygen levels. Be “perfect” twice a day—reserve your energy for the two most important moments instead of chasing constant perfection. Key Quotes: “Confidence and pessimism aren't traits—they're both access issues.” “We don't have to be perfect all the time—just perfect in the moments that matter.” “Electricity is the language of the brain—and therefore the human experience.” “Your trauma is your hostage, but you can use it as fuel instead of shackles.” “At 10 Hertz, sensory input is amplified and your best self shows up.” “Happiness isn't about possessions—it's about amplifying what you feel, see, and hear.” “The best experiences of our lives always happen in the same state—why keep it a secret?” Time Stamps: 00:00: The Allure of Ultra-Endurance Events 02:34: Emotional Relativity and Personal Growth 05:45: The Role of Trauma in Personal Development 08:32: Happiness and the Pursuit of Meaning 11:25: Amplifying Sensory Input for Fulfillment 14:15: Understanding Brainwave States and Performance 27:12: Understanding Trauma and Its Impact on Performance 28:49: The Power of 10 Hertz in Enhancing Sensory Input 31:39: Cognitive Functionality and Accessing Memory 37:41: Flow State: The Intersection of Performance and Presence 40:38: Perception of Time: How We Experience Moments 47:26: The Role of Substances in Achieving 10 Hertz 51:47: Actionable Takeaways for Achieving Peak Performance

You'll learn to choose your background (not accept it), frame with natural elements, and zoom in on intriguing details for a story-driven series. Court also demos creative exposure tools—spot metering for dramatic light, in-camera white balance shifts for mood—and several motion techniques, from slow-shutter pans to zoom/rotate effects.

20th century movies and TV shows were dominated by the traditional “hero.” With high morals and an ethical code of honour. The 21st century has a different take.Today, we cheer the anti-hero. Like the Sopranos, Dexter and Breaking Bad. Anti-heroes are liberated from that line in the sand that holds the rest of us back. They do things we are afraid to do. And do it unapologetically.And if advertising is the great mirror to pop culture, it just may explain the emergence of anti-hero brands – who dare you to like them. Hosted on Acast.

Many technology companies infamously measure their success based on how long someone spends in their app. That amount of screen time may or may not be good for a person's wellbeing, but executives don't see that as their problem. Not all CEOs have fallen into that trap, though. Bill Ready, the head of Pinterest, and Justin McLeod, who runs the dating app Hinge, have different priorities. When the writing on the wall was becoming more apparent and more disturbing, they led resets at their companies and looked for ways to put their users' health first. Success for them means getting people out into the real world for healthy activities and in-person social engagement. And it turns out, that's actually good for business, too. The editor-in-chief of Allure and Self magazines, Jessica Cruel, interviews the two CEOs about how they pulled off these positive pivots.

“Don't look around—just run your own race. That's what I'd tell my younger self about writing.”-Melanie Anagnos Melanie Anagnos has worn many hats—waitress, attorney, stay-at-home mom—but her true calling emerged when she pursued her MFA at Sarah Lawrence College. Now, she's making waves in the crime fiction world with her novel Night Swimming, a police procedural set in her hometown of Paterson, New Jersey. In this conversation, Melanie shares what draws her to 1970s crime fiction, the social upheaval that inspires her stories, and how she finally found her voice as a writer. Key Takeaways: Roots in Patterson, NJ: Melanie's novels draw inspiration from her hometown, which also serves as the backdrop for Night Swimming. Journey to Writing: After a career in law, Melanie embraced creative writing later in life, proving it's never too late to start. The 1970s as Creative Muse: Social upheaval, shifting gender roles, and cultural tensions of the decade fuel her storytelling. The Allure of Police Procedurals: She loves the pacing, character focus, and slower-burn suspense of classic crime fiction. Finding Her Voice: Melanie stresses the importance of writing authentically, not trying to “sound like a writer.” On MFA Programs: While her Sarah Lawrence MFA was valuable, she believes what you put in matters more than the credential itself. Recognition and Validation: A New York Times review affirmed her efforts to go deeper with her storytelling Buy Nightswimming Amazon: https://amzn.to/3JLav9P Bookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/a/54587/9781962931151 Connect with Melanie Website: https://melanieanagnos.com/ Substack: melanieanagnos.substack.com Connect with Mike Website: https://uncorkingastory.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSvS4fuG3L1JMZeOyHvfk_g Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uncorkingastory/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@uncorkingastory Twitter: https://twitter.com/uncorkingastory Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/uncorkingastory LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/uncorking-a-story/ If you liked this episode, please share it with a friend.

Every piercing starts out with a little risk. The risks of our every day piercings can be reduced through education and experience, but what about when we're trying something new or trendy? Lola and Ryan discuss the risks that may come with rare piercings, piercing trends, or just experimentation and creativity. Celebrity finger piercings, Austin bar piercings (I didn't know what that was either its ok), and kitten fangs. Where is the line between risk and harm, and how close do we get as professional piercers? We also discuss our recent trip to Poland for a conference, and our future teaching plans. Time is running out to watch Lola Slider's "Size Matters: jewellery sizing theory" webinar at www.patreon.com/ryanpba. Watch it before the end of September 2025 or you'll miss out. You can also check out Ryan's new video about Austin Bar piercings, and much more on demand.
