This lecture text explores contract interpretation, discussing how courts determine the meaning of agreements using the plain meaning rule and extrinsic evidence, such as course of performance, course of dealing, and usage of trade, while also considering the parol evidence rule. It then differentiates performance obligations under common law and the U.C.C., contrasting substantial performance with the perfect tender rule, and introducing the concept of conditions. The material further explains breach, including material versus minor breaches and anticipatory repudiation, before outlining the rights of third parties through assignment, delegation, and third-party beneficiary contracts, finally addressing ways performance may be excused due to impossibility, impracticability, or frustration of purpose.This conversation delves into the complexities of contract law, focusing on the stages beyond formation, including interpretation, performance, conditions, breach, and third-party rights. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the intent behind contracts, the standards for performance under common law and the UCC, and the implications of breaches. It also covers the roles of conditions, anticipatory repudiation, and the rights of third parties in contractual agreements, concluding with the circumstances under which performance may be excused.Understanding contract law goes beyond just formation.Contract interpretation focuses on the parties' intent.Extrinsic evidence plays a crucial role in ambiguous contracts.Substantial performance is key in common law contracts.The UCC applies a stricter perfect tender rule for goods.Conditions can be express or implied and affect performance duties.Material breaches excuse the non-breaching party from performance.Anticipatory repudiation allows immediate action against a breaching party.Third parties can gain rights through assignment, delegation, or as beneficiaries.Excuses for non-performance include impossibility and frustration of purpose.According to the plain meaning rule, courts interpret unambiguous contract language according to its ordinary meaning, without considering outside evidence.If contract language is ambiguous, courts may consider extrinsic evidence such as prior negotiations, drafts, industry standards, or other contemporaneous writings to determine the parties' intent.Course of performance refers to the parties' behavior under the current contract, while course of dealing refers to their conduct in previous contracts. Both provide insight into the parties' understanding of terms.The parol evidence rule's purpose is generally to prevent parties from using prior or contemporaneous oral or written statements to contradict or change the terms of a complete and final written contract.Common law substantial performance allows enforcement if the essential purpose is met with minor deviations, while the U.C.C.'s perfect tender rule requires goods to conform exactly to contract terms for the buyer to be obligated to accept them.Under the perfect tender rule, a seller might satisfy their obligation despite nonconforming goods by exercising their right to "cure" the defective tender within the contract performance period.A condition precedent is an event that must occur before a party is obligated to perform. An example from the source is a loan disbursement being conditioned on providing proof of income.A material breach is a serious violation going to the essence of the contract that excuses the non-breaching party's performance, while a minor breach is less significant and only entitles the injured party to damages.Upon anticipatory repudiation, the non-breaching party can treat it as a breach and sue immediately, suspend performance and wait, or urge performance and await retraction.An assignment is a transfer of rights under a contract, while a delegation is a transfer of duties. In a delegation, the original party typically remains liable

In episode 192, we're excited to welcome Sandra Uwantege Hart, Humanitarian Lab Lead at Mercy Corps Ventures, to explore how blockchain, AI, and innovative funding models are helping to get aid to the right people—before disaster strikes.In this episode, you'll learnWhy the humanitarian aid sector is due for a fundamental shift, and how Anticipatory Action is flipping the script on disaster response.How blockchain and Web3 technology are transforming the speed, transparency, and efficiency of aid delivery.The role of Mercy Corps Ventures' Anticipatory Action Accelerator in funding groundbreaking solutions to build climate resilient communities.--Key Takeaways--Traditional humanitarian aid is reactive and inefficient – Most aid is deployed after disasters strike, leading to delays, high costs, and logistical challenges. A system designed around rapid response often fails to prevent suffering before it happens.Anticipatory Action + Web3 = Gamechanger – By using predictive analytics, data oracles, smart contracts, and decentralized funding, anticipatory action enables aid to be pre-positioned and deployed before disasters occur. Blockchain enhances efficiency, transparency, and trust in these life-saving interventions.The biggest barrier is mindset, not technology – Despite the clear benefits, anticipatory action struggles with adoption due to its complexity and the global tendency to prioritize reaction over prevention. Web3 can shift this dynamic by creating automated, transparent funding models that incentivize proactive aid.--Full shownotes with links available at--https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/blog/crypto-altruists-episode-192-mercy-corps-ventures-how-web3-and-ai-are-transforming-humanitarian-aid-with-anticipatory-actionThank you to PIPE gDAO for sponsoring the Crypto Altruism podcast!PIPE gDAO is leveraging blockchain for their University Real World Asset IP Launchpad that helps bring groundbreaking ideas from lab to market.

In Today's Episode, I talk about the difference between letting something go and letting something be as and how letting something simply BE can feel better than the feeling of having to let something go. I also go over what are Anticipatory Emotions and how you may be experiencing them and what to do about them.
Ever find yourself running through worst-case scenarios like, “What if my child has a meltdown in public?” or “What if I'm missing something critical?” This is anticipatory anxiety. It's that relentless “what if” loop that keeps you stuck in fear, bracing for problems that haven't even happened yet.In this week's episode of The Autism Mom Coach, I'm breaking down what anticipatory anxiety really is, how it shows up in your life, and why it's stealing your energy. Plus, I'll teach you a powerful strategy called positive projection to stop the cycle and start parenting with more confidence.Don't forget—my free webinar, “Stop Walking on Eggshells and Start Parenting with Confidence,” is happening tomorrow. I'll go even deeper into how to break free from bracing for your child's emotions. Register through the link here or my Instagram bio.

Do you ever feel like you're doing so much for everyone in your life—managing relationships, fixing problems, carrying the emotional load—only to end up completely burned out? Today, I sit down with the incredible Terri Cole, psychotherapist and author of Boundary Boss, to uncover why so many of us fall into this cycle and, most importantly, how to break free. Terri dives deep into what high-functioning codependency really looks like, and trust me, it's not the old-school definition you might have in mind. This conversation hit home for me in a big way, and I got super vulnerable about my own recovery journey. Together, we unpack everything from unsolicited advice-giving (yep, we've all done it!) to setting boundaries that stick and respecting others' autonomy even when it's hard. If you're constantly over-functioning, people-pleasing, or just plain exhausted from “managing” everyone in your life, this episode is your permission to stop. You'll walk away with actionable steps to start shifting your habits, nurture healthier relationships, and finally put yourself back on your priority list. Tune in for this and much more!

Because we need everything that you have to give to the world, and you're only going to be able to do it if you're not micromanaging a million other people." ~ Terri Cole In this episode: - Defining high-functioning codependency - Recognizing codependent traits and behaviors - How to escape the advice-giving trap - Overcoming the fear of setting boundaries - Dealing with the illusion of control and its impact - Managing emotional triggers during recovery - Self-sacrificing and auto-accommodating behaviors - Anticipatory planning and over-functioning in relationships - Action steps to break codependent habits - The path to recovery and peace - Recognizing and dealing with personal growth in recovery - Embracing joy and peace: the evidence of codependency recovery - How to access the High-Functioning Codependency Toolkit Resources Mentioned in the Episode: Boundary Boss: The Essential Guide to Talk True, Be Seen, and (Finally) Live Free: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1683647688 Too Much: A Guide to Breaking the Cycle of High-Functioning Codependency: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1649631863 High-Functioning Codependency Toolkit (HFC Toolkit): https://www.terricole.com/hfc/ Nutrafol is offering our listeners $10 off our first month's subscription and free shipping when you go to www.Nutrafol.com and enter the promo code JENG.

Contract Law - Performance, Breach, and Discharge Core Concepts: Contract Interpretation: The process of determining the meaning of contract terms (both express and implied) using established rules and contextual evidence. Conditions and Performance: Understanding how conditions influence contractual duties, differentiating conditions from promises, and applying the substantial performance doctrine. Breach and Remedies: Categorizing breaches as material or minor, exploring available remedies (e.g., damages, specific performance, rescission), and understanding the implications of anticipatory repudiation. I. Contract Terms and Interpretation: Express Terms: Explicitly stated in the contract (written or verbal). Example: "Contractor will complete renovation by June 30th." Implied Terms: Not explicitly stated but assumed by law. Implied in Fact: Based on parties' conduct or circumstances. Example: Plumber using reasonable care and materials. Implied in Law: Inserted by courts to ensure fairness or fill gaps. Example: Employer providing a safe working environment. Rules of Contract Interpretation: Plain Meaning Rule: Clear wording is interpreted based on its ordinary meaning. Contra Proferentem: Ambiguity is interpreted against the drafting party. Specific Terms vs. General Terms: Specific terms prevail over general terms in case of conflict. Usage of Trade, Course of Dealing, and Course of Performance: Contextual evidence used to clarify unclear terms. II. Conditions and Performance Obligations: Conditions: Events that must occur for a party's performance to become due. Conditions Precedent: Events that must happen before an obligation arises. Example: Buyer securing financing before the seller transfers ownership. Conditions Subsequent: Events that terminate an existing obligation. Example: Contract termination if new legislation renders its purpose illegal. Concurrent Conditions: Both parties perform simultaneously. Example: Seller delivers goods while buyer makes payment. Conditions vs. Promises: Conditions: Non-fulfillment relieves the obligated party from performing. Promises: Covenants that must be performed regardless of conditions. Failure may lead to damages. Substantial Performance Doctrine: Allows a party who has largely completed their obligations to enforce the contract, even with minor incompletions. III. Breach of Contract and Anticipatory Repudiation: Types of Breach: Material Breach: Significant failure that undermines the contract's essence. Non-breaching party can terminate and seek damages. Example: Supplier fails to deliver a critical component for production. Minor Breach: Less serious breach that does not substantially affect the contract's value. Non-breaching party must still perform but may seek damages. Example: Contractor installs a different but equally good countertop. Remedies for Breach: Damages: Compensatory: Cover direct losses. Consequential: Cover foreseeable losses caused by the breach. Nominal: Small damages awarded when no significant loss is proven. Liquidated: Pre-agreed amounts for specific breaches. Specific Performance: Court orders breaching party to perform obligations (usually for unique goods or real estate). Rescission and Restitution: Contract cancellation and return to pre-contract positions (often in cases of voidable contracts). Anticipatory Repudiation: One party indicates in advance they will not perform their obligations. Non-breaching party can treat this as an immediate breach or wait for performance. Key Takeaways: Accurate interpretation of contract provisions is essential, applying established rules and using contextual evidence. Understanding the distinction between conditions and promises is crucial, as it directly affects available remedies. A material breach significantly undermines the contract, allowing the non-breaching party to terminate and seek damages. Anticipatory repudiation occurs when a party indicates in advance their intention not to perform. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

Walston:Anticipatory intelligence is a phrase that I heard at a seminar talking about racial trauma. The speaker whose name I can't remember, was talking about this idea of a kind of intelligence that is often developed by marginalized people. And because this was a seminar on racial trauma in the United States, her examples were all primarily around racialized experiences as the United States understand that sense of racialized society. And so the idea of anticipatory intelligence is the amount of effort or energy that we put in emotionally, mentally, psychologically, to anticipating how our bodies and the stories that they represent will be received in a space that we are in before we get there.Speaker 1 (00:18):Welcome to the Arise podcast, conversations on faith, race, justice, gender, and spirituality. In this episode, I get to interview my dear friend, Rebecca Wheeler Walston, and we are talking about anticipatory intelligence. I think all of us, or at least most of the people I speak with lately when I'm like, how are you doing? They're like, and they're like, well, that's a complicated answer. And it definitely is. There's an underlying sense of unease, of discontent, of just a lack of surety, about what is going to come next in the new year that I think I haven't felt for a long time. The collective sense that I have right now as you listen to this episode and take a sneak peek into some of the conversations Rebecca and I have had for a while, I encourage you to be kind to your body Again. I've put in previous episodes, resources, get out, get mental health care, spend time with friends, play, go play pickleball, get out in the snow, read a good book, text a friend, call a friend.(01:37):Do the things that connect you back to life giving activities. Find your spiritual practices, light candles, take a bath. All these things that therapists often say are helpful. I mean, maybe it's you go hug a tree or put your feet, your literal bare feet in the dirt. I don't know what it is for you, but leaning on the people and the resources in your area and also leaning on things that connect you back to groundedness, to feeling in your body. And so those are the things that I do. I enjoy lately eating Honey Nut Cheerios. Sounds weird. I love Dry Honey Nut Cheerios. I don't know why, but I let myself indulge in that. So again, I'm not prescribing anything to anyone. This is not a prescription, a diagnosis, a treatment plan. It is saying, how can you find ways to ground yourself in really good healthy ways that you can actually care for your good body?(02:50):I don't enjoy talking about anxiety. I don't love it. In fact, talking about it sometimes I feel really anxious in the moment my heart starts pounding, I get sweaty hands, et cetera. And yet there is something grounding for me about stepping into shared realities with my friends or neighbor, colleague or family. And so this is a reality that Rebecca and I have been talking about. What is anticipatory intelligence? And I'm going to let her jump in and start it off here. Hey, Rebecca, I know you and I chat a lot, and part of our talks are like, Hey, how you doing? Hey, how am I doing? And a while back when I reached out to you and said, Hey, let's do this thing way before the election on anxiety and race. And you're like, wait a minute. I want to talk about this thing called anticipatory intelligence. And so I want to hear about that from you. What is that?Speaker 2 (03:51):Hey, Danielle, as always, Hey, hey,(03:56):Post 2024 election, I'm going to just take a huge breath and say that I've had this low grade sort of nausea in my gut for at least a week, if not longer. So yeah, let's talk. So anticipatory intelligence is a phrase that I heard at a seminar talking about racial trauma. The speaker whose name I can't remember, was talking about this idea of a kind of intelligence that is often developed by marginalized people. And because this was a seminar on racial trauma in the United States, her examples were all primarily around racialized experiences as the United States understand that sense of racialized society. And so the idea of anticipatory intelligence is the amount of effort or energy that we put in emotionally, mentally, psychologically, to anticipating how our bodies and the stories that they represent will be received in a space that we are in before we get there.(05:23):So it's that notion of I'm a black woman, I'm getting ready to go to a function that I anticipate will likely be predominantly white. And the kind of internal conversation I have with myself about what that's going to feel like look like to enter the question in my mind of how safe or how dangerous might the environment be to me racially? So the first piece of anticipatory intelligence is that sort of internal conversation that we may be having with ourselves as we step into a circumstance. The second piece of that is when we arrive in the space and we start to read the room,(06:12):Read the faces of the people in the room, and this work of how close was my hypothesis or my theory about my reception in the room to what I'm actually seeing and feeling and hearing in the room as I enter the space is that sort of second piece of anticipatory intelligence. And then the third piece of it is really this question of how do I navigate that answers to those first two questions? And so what is my body, my brain, my emotions, my spirit, my gut, all of it doing with what I'm reading of the faces in the room and the reaction to me being there could be a positive space. I could get there and realize that the people in the room are all receptive to my presence and what I'm reading and feeling is a sense of welcome and warmth and an invitation for all of me to be in the room. And then what does that feel like in terms of the letdown of anxiety and the ability to absorb that sense of welcome and to participate in that sense of welcome? Or it could be a hostile environment. And what I'm reading is something that isn't welcome,(07:44):Something that feels like fill in the blank, resentment, who knows?(07:53):And then what does my body do with that? What does my gut do with that? What does my emotions, what does my spirit do? And how do I react and respond to what I'm actually reading in the room? So you can hear that sense of three steps, and sometimes that can happen over a matter of days, weeks as we build up to something. Sometimes that can happen in a matter of seconds as we enter a room, but the amount of effort and energy that is expended and the idea that you can actually develop a very well thought through grid for this as a kind of intelligence that can be yours individually might belong to your group. Collectively idea of how we anticipate and then how we engage a space based on and in this race, it could be extended to gender,Speaker 3 (08:58):ReligionSpeaker 2 (09:00):In this day and age, probably politics and any other places where we find intersectionality of the pieces of our identity.Speaker 1 (09:11):I had to take a deep breath because it is this giant reframing and pathologizing of what a lot of us walk around with, which is an internal disruption as we move from space to space.Speaker 2 (09:29):Yeah, I think that's true. And I mean, I think about it as a black woman, as a black mother raising two kids, I have taught my kids this notion of, I didn't call it that there's too many syllables and SAT words, but I have taught my kids a sense of pay attention to people and places and sounds and vibes and nonverbal communication and verbal communication and learn to interpret and decipher and then do what is necessary to keep yourself safe and do what is necessary to enjoy and participate in places where you're actually welcome.Speaker 1 (10:17):When that intersects with the concepts of Western psychology, let's say, where we're as a part of that system, there's this constant move to how do we heal anxiety, how do we work towards calm? How do we work towards finding a quote safe space? And I think it's becoming more and more evident in our current society. It's evident to many before, but I think some people are jostled into the reality that there might not be that safe space or you might have to understand anxiety differently than the western psychological framework. Have you thought about that?Speaker 2 (11:04):Yeah. I mean, couple of things, right? Is that in western sort of psychological space, the phrase that's usually engaged is something called hypervigilant. This idea that the time you spend reading a room and your sense of threat and the need to be vigilant about your own safety, the concept of hypervigilance is to say that you're overreactingSpeaker 3 (11:36):ToSpeaker 2 (11:37):The space and you have a kind of vigilance that is unnecessary. You have a kind of vigilance that is a trigger to some threat that doesn't actually exist. And therefore you as the person who is doing this anticipatory work, needs to rea acclimate to the room and engage the room as if you are safe and to reimagine or recalibrate your sense of threat to an idea that it doesn't exist and it's not there. And one of the things that I would pose is that's a false reality for marginalized people in the United States. The sense of a lack of safety is present and it's real. And therefore, could we be talking about a necessary kind of vigilance as opposed to an over reactive hypervigilance?(12:45):So that's kind of one way that I think is a necessary exploration, and it requires the country to wrestle with the truth and the why and how of the lack of safety for marginalized people, whether that is on racial lines or gender lines or whatever power structure we are engaging. There's always the question of those in power and those who are not. And if in that moment you are in the category of the disempowered and the disenfranchised, then a sense of your own vigilance might actually be the wisest, kindest thing you can do. And the error of modern psychology to pathologize that is the problem. The other thing that I think about because you use the word safety, and I did too often, and of the growing belief that the idea that I can be safe in an absolute sense is probably a misnomer at best, an illusion at worst. And so there can there be this sense of safer environments or safe ish environments or even the suggestion that I've heard in recent years of a sense of bravery instead of safety, the ability for the space, the room to hold, the idea that if there's a power differential, there's going to be a safety differential.(14:31):And so the question is not am I safe? The question is the level of courage or bravery that I may need to access in order to step into a room and note that there is a certain amount of of safety.Speaker 1 (14:50):And I think that can be played out on all levels. I mean, I attended a training on immigrant rights and one of the things they mentioned is that ICE has the ability, the immigration service has the ability to use a digital format on online form to write their own warrant. Now, we know that regular police cannot write their own warrant.(15:16):We know that ice can also obtain a warrant through the courts, but when you have an empowered police body to write their own warrant, even if you're not in an immigrant, what is a sense that you're going to actually be safe or you're going to walk into a room where there are those power differentials no matter what your race or ethnicity is. If you are not of the dominant class, what's the sense that you're going to feel safe in that power differential? I think as I hear you say, I don't want to go to the extreme that it's an illusion, but I do agree that each step out is a step of bravery. And some days we may have the bravery and the data points that say, despite this anticipation of potential harm, I'm going to be able to work through that today and I'm going to be with people who can work through that with me, even through the power differential. And I think in the coming days, and there's going to be times when we say I can't step into that space because of what I anticipate, not because I'm a coward, but because it may lead to more harm than I can metabolize.Speaker 2 (16:27):Yeah, I mean the word safe has its problem. So does the word brave, right? Because again, the weight of that word is on the marginalized person in many ways to push path, the power differential and show up anyway. And there's something about that weight and the imbalance of it that feels wildly unfair, but historically true.(17:00):And so what I love about your sense of there might be some days I do not have it in me, and then can we come to that moment with the reverence and the kindness and the sanctity that deserves for me and my individual capacity to say I don't have it today? And I say that knowing that most of us come from, I come from a cultural backdrop, a collective story around blackness and the black bravery and black courage and black power and black rights. That doesn't always give me space to say I don't have it in me. I don't have that bravery today. I don't have access to it. I come from a cultural narrative that screams we shall overcome in a thousand different ways. And so you can hear in that both a hope and then a demand that you find the capacity in every moment to overcome. And we don't have a lot of stories where you get to say, I don't have it. And I have some curiosity for you as a Latino woman, do you have those stories, those cultural narratives that give you permission to say, I don't have access to the kind of bravery that I need for today?Speaker 1 (18:40):That's a really good question. As you were speaking, I was thinking of the complexity of the constructed racial identity for Latinos, which is often a combination as you know, we've talked about it, a lot of indigenous African and then European ancestry. And so I often think of us coming into those spaces as negotiators. How do we make this okay for dominant culture folks? Can we get close enough to power to make it okay? Which is a costly selling out of one part of ourselves. And I think the narrative is like when you hear nationally, why do Latinos vote this way even though the electoral percentage is so low compared to dominant culture folks? So I think the question we have to wrestle with is what part of our identity are we going to push aside to fit in those spaces? Or sometimes the role of negotiator and access to privilege can lead to healing and good things.(19:53):And also there are spaces where we step into where that's not even on the table. It's going to be an option. And so can we step back and not have to be that designated person and say, actually, I can't do any negotiations. I don't have the power to do that. It's kind of a false invitation. It's this false sense of you can kind of belong if you do this, but you can't really belong. I want you to vote for me, but then in 30 days, 60 days, I'm going to deport you at risk to be arrested. So you have to vote against your own best interest in order to be accepted, but after being accepted, you're also rejected. So I think there's a sense for me as I ramble through it, I don't know where that permission comes from to step back, but I think we do need to take a long hard look and step backSpeaker 2 (20:57):Just listening to you. I have a sense that the invitation to your community is a little different than the invitation that has been extended to my community. And of course the extension of that invitation coming from the power structures of the western world of America, of whiteness. I hear you saying that if I'm mishearing you, let's chat. But what I hear is the sense of this notion that you can negotiate for acceptance, which I think is an invitation that has been extended to a lot of ethnic groups in the United States that do not include black people. Our history in the United States is the notion of one drop of black blood lands you in this category for which there will never be access. And I say that also knowing that part of the excitement of a candidacy of someone like Kamala Harris is the notion that somehow we have negotiated something or the possibility that we actually have negotiated a kind of acceptance that is beyond imagination. And in the days following the election, some of the conversation of literally she did everything that she has, all the degrees, she has the resume, she has this, she has that, and it wasn't enough to negotiate the deal(22:53):And the kind of betrayal. And so I started this by saying, oh no, y'all over there in Latinx spaces get to negotiate something we as black people. But I think that there's a true narrative in post civil rights post brown versus board of education that the negotiation that we are in as black people is if we get the degrees and we build the pedigree, we can earn the negotiated seat. And I think other ethnic spaces, and you tell me if this feels true to you, the negotiation has been about bloodline.Speaker 1 (23:50):Yeah, absolutely. And adjacent to that negotiated space is the idea that you wouldn't have to anticipate so much that you could walk in and feel safe or that no matter where you think about any of the presidential spaces, that Kamala Harris could walk in and she could be acceptedSpeaker 2 (24:15):And that she would bring all the rest of us with her. Yeah.Speaker 1 (24:29):I wanted to believe that this election was based on issues. And I wanted to believe that no matter where you stood on certain things that you could see through that Trump was going to be a deadly disaster for bodies of color. And yet that's not what happened.Speaker 2 (24:55):Yeah, I think, right. And my first pushback is like, he's a problem. He's a disaster not just for bodies of color. And I think there was some segment of the country making the argument that he is a detriment to a kind of ideal that affects us all regardless of race or creed or color or gender. And I am still trying to make meaning of what it means that that's not the choice we made as a country. I'm still trying to, in my head, logically balance how you could vote against your own interests. And I was watching a documentary this weekend, the US and the Holocaust, and one of the things that is true in that documentary is the fact that there has always been a strain of American life that voted against its own interest. That notion is not new. And if I try to think about that in psychological terms, I mean, how often have you seen that as a therapist, a client who makes decisions that are clearly against their own interest? And the therapeutic work is to get to a place where that is less and less true,Speaker 1 (26:38):Which I mean, I know we'll record a part two, I think of the collective meaning we are making out of this, that the sense that in the voting against our own self-interest, I can speak from my cultural background, you may say goodbye to your grandma or your brother. You may say goodbye to the friend down the street that runs a restaurant. And what does that do to your psyche? It's nothing new. We've been asked to do that for centuries. This is not new. This was introduced when colonial powers first arrived and we're asking for loyalty in exchange for some kind of a false hope of true safety. And yet when we experience this anxiety or this anticipatory intelligence, I think our bodies aren't just speaking from what's happening today, but the centuries of this was never, okay.Speaker 2 (27:48):See, again, I'm hit with that sentence reads different to me when I hear you as a Latino woman say, that's not a new negotiation for us. We've been asked to vote against our own interest from colonial days. And what does that cost you? I want to cry for that story of an immigration that sounded like it was voluntary and never actually was. And I say that feeling in my own experience, the trajectory of enslaved Africans were asked to negotiate something very different than that. What is the cost? It'll be a different kind of cost. There is a section of the black community that voted against our own interest in this election, and what does that mean and what's the story that we're telling ourselves around it in order to justify a choice? The consequences of which I think have yet to be made clear for any of us. I know that there's this anticipated, we can say the word mass deportation and think that we can anticipate the cost of that. And just from the few conversations you and I have had over the last week, I don't think any of our anticipatory work will be anywhere close to the actual cop.Speaker 1 (30:11):I think you're right. I think we will do our best based on what we've lived and tried to do for one another and for our own families to anticipate what we need, but we won't escape.Speaker 2 (30:38):I think the other thing that I think about is the cost is not just to Latinx people. There is a cost to all of us that are in proximity to you that is different and arguably far less. But I think we're missing that too. I think we're underestimating and miscalculating. There's a science fiction book that was written, I read it in college by the author's name is a guy named Derek Bell. He's a lawyer, and he wrote a book called Faces at the Bottom of the Well. And there's a chapter in the book's, a collection of short stories. There's a short story about the day all the Negroes disappeared. And the story is about this alien population from another planet who is disenchanted with the treatment of enslaved Africans. So they come to earth and they take everybody black. And the story is about what is no longer true of the planet because Africans are no longer enslaved. Africans in the US are no longer in it, on it. And all the things that are no longer true of American life, the things that will never become true of American life because of the absence of a people group. And I think that, again, we can say the phrase mass deportation and think we have some sense of what the cost of that might be. And I think we are grossly underestimating and miscalculating all the things that will not be true of American life.Speaker 1 (32:33):Yeah, I think I don't have words. I don't have a lot of explanations or what our kids will, what they're learning about life. I know we have to pause. Okay. Okay.Speaker 2 (33:09):Part two, to comeSpeaker 1 (33:10):Our cucumber. I'll catch you later. As you can see, we ended this podcast on a difficult note, and it's not a space that Rebecca and I are going to be able to resolve, and we are going to continue talking about it. So tune in to our next episode in part two. And I really think there's a lot of encouragement to be found in setting a frame and setting space for reality and what we are facing in our bodies and understanding ourselves and understanding as collectives, how this might be impacting us differently. Rebecca and I aren't speaking for everybody in our communities. They're not monoliths. We are speaking from our particular locations. Again, thank you for tuning in and I encourage you to download, share, subscribe, and share with others that that might be researching or thinking about this topic. Talk to you later. Bye. Well, first I guess I would have to believe that there was or is an actual political dialogue taking place that I could potentially be a part of. And honestly, I'm not sure that I believe that.
With just a few days before the election, David Faris considers the possibility of American democracy turning into a dystopian horror show. Already you can see the billionaires making the same calculations. Like Jeff Bezos, trying to win over Trump by ordering the Post not to endorse Kamala. And then making up some gobbledygook justification. Call it anticipatory obedience. David also considers the other option, so not all is bleak.

This podcast episode of 'Coping' discusses election anxiety and anticipatory coping strategies. Hosts Kevin and Kathy explore four types of anticipatory coping: problem analysis, plan rehearsal, stagnant deliberation, and outcome fantasy. They discuss their personal experiences with political engagement and share insights on managing election-related stress. The episode is timed to coincide with an upcoming general election. The hosts reference a research study on combating election stress and its impact on daily physical health. They emphasize the importance of engagement, planning, and avoiding negative coping mechanisms. The episode concludes with a blessing for Election Day by Kate Bowler. Highlights Introduction to Election Anxiety Kevin and Kathy introduce the episode, explaining its early release due to an upcoming general election on Tuesday. Kathy notes the high tension surrounding the election, regardless of political affiliation. Kevin mentions that election anxiety is a real phenomenon. Anticipatory Coping Strategies The hosts introduce the concept of four types of anticipatory coping strategies for managing election-related stress. Kathy asks Kevin about his family's approach to discussing world events, to which Kevin responds that his family didn't engage much in political discussions. In contrast, Kathy shares that her family, with her father being a political science professor, was highly engaged in political discussions nightly. Research Study on Election Stress Kevin introduces a research article titled 'Combating Election Stress, Anticipatory Coping, and Daily Self-Reported Physical Health' by Brittany Johnson and Siobhan Newpert. Kathy explains that the study, conducted during the 2018 midterm elections with 140 respondents, aimed to measure the effect of anticipatory coping strategies on anxiety levels. Problem Analysis as a Coping Strategy Kevin explains the first anticipatory coping strategy: problem analysis. This involves actively contemplating the antecedents and meaning of future stressful situations without trying to solve the problem. Kathy shares her experience using this strategy, including spending over two hours researching propositions for the California election. Plan Rehearsal as a Coping Strategy Kevin introduces plan rehearsal as the second coping strategy, which involves envisioning steps to achieve a desired outcome. He gives examples related to voting plans. Kathy emphasizes the importance of having a plan to reduce anxiety and shares her experience helping her sons in another state plan their voting process over four weeks. Negative Coping Strategies: Stagnant Deliberation and Outcome Fantasy The hosts discuss two negative coping strategies. Kathy explains stagnant deliberation as dwelling repetitively on a problem without progress. Kevin likens it to rumination. For outcome fantasy, Kevin describes it as daydreaming about desired outcomes while ignoring problem-solving details. Kathy notes that she's observed this more commonly among female students and emphasizes the importance of recognizing and addressing this tendency. Conclusion and Election Day Blessing Kevin summarizes the four coping strategies and encourages listeners to engage in problem analysis and plan rehearsal while avoiding negative strategies. Kathy emphasizes the importance of being involved and voting. The episode concludes with a blessing for Election Day by Kate Bowler, focusing on seeking God's guidance and mercy during the election process.

In episode 177, we welcome Kennedy Ng'an'ga of Shamba Network, Benson Njuguna of Fortune Credit, and Wladimir Weinbender of DIVA Donate. We explore their collbarative pilot, in partnership with Mercy Corps Ventures, that deployed blockchain-based anticipatory cash transfers to pastoralists in Kenya, using smart contracts triggered by environmental data brought onchain by an Oracle. We discuss the potential for Web3 to address climate-related challenges in vulnerable communities, and how cryptocurrency can be a vital tool to deliver aid to last mile communities.--Three Key Takeaways--50 million people across sub-Saharan Africa are Pastoralists that depend on livestock for income and subsistence. In Northern Kenya, Pastoralism provides income to more than 95% of rural families. This region is also vulnerable to extreme weather events, including floods and droughts, that can significantly impact the livelihoods of Pastoralists. As such, it's important to build solutions that help Pastoralists adapt to climate shocks.Anticipatory cash transfers are a powerful tool for communities that are vulnerable to climate change. By proactively issuing cash transfers in advance of climate shocks, as opposed to reactively, it enables recipients to use the funds to prepare for the climate shock, including purchasing food or protecting their livestock. Anticipatory cash transfers are a vital tool for building climate resilient communities by ensuring a more stable income for pastoralists in spite of an increasing number of climate shocks.This Pilot demonstrates how blockchain and crypto rails can reduce the cost of delivering funds to recipients by cutting out intermediaries and automating processes with smart contracts, while also reducing the time to transfer the funds from days to hours. Furthermore, by bringing all the data on-chain, it ensures easy auditability --Full shownotes with links available at--https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/blog/crypto-altruism-podcast-episode-177-blockchain-powered-anticipatory-cash-transfers-for-climate-shocks

Understanding how to build a sellable business is a game changer. Carrie Kerpen is the founder of The Whisper Group, an exit-readiness advisory firm dedicated exclusively to women-owned businesses.Carrie has built and sold one of the world's first social media agencies and has continued helping female founders build and sell their businesses and live their lives fully. She is on a mission to get as much money in the hands of women as possible. Carrie has been a great friend and supporter of Adrienne and the She Leads LIVE conferences from the early days and has contributed her wisdom consistently.Carrie says that women often start businesses driven by passion but rarely think about how they will exit. It's imperative to consider an exit strategy from day one. Creating sellable businesses rather than focusing on immediate monetization is a key point Carrie is very passionate about.She says that so much about exiting is not just about the business but about us personally and being honest and relatable rather than projecting an overly polished image.Many business owners face regret post-exit due to lack of financial planning. Women must realize that small businesses can exit with six times more value and we need to embrace the idea of extracting wealth from our businesses in order to provide the security and power for ourselves and our families that we so rightly deserve.Notes:
You've probably heard of anticipatory grief. Unbidden, hidden, and immediate, it comes with the diagnosis that your loved one has Alzheimer's. Depending on when the diagnosis was delivered, it can be several years or more before your loved one dies. Something in addition to anticipatory grief can also happen along the way, especially in those devastating late years of the disease. I call it Anticipatory Healing. It's connected to grief. My husband had Alzheimer's. I'm publishing this episode on the second anniversary of his death. In these last two years, I've come to see my grief in three stages: React: This is the six-month, zombie-like period right after my husband died. I didn't have the mental energy to handle anything more than what was absolutely necessary -- the funeral, Social Security, insurance, probate, and more. I saw the fool's errand in all that wishful thinking I had indulged in when my husband was first diagnosed. I felt a new kind of empty. Realize: Over the next year, the truth of my new reality settled on my shoulders. I had already absorbed all of the routine tasks my husband used to handle. That happened several years earlier. Now there was a finality to those tasks. I learned to carry grief without it closing my throat or stinging my eyes. I needed to think about my future...because now I realized I had a future. Reflect: I'm here now. Looking back, I can see how countless little visions of the future shaped the belief that I would survive. Those visions were not obvious! Some were born from frustration. Others from determination. Others from imagination. Hidden in those visions and experiences, I discovered inner strength. I learned to set wise priorities. I found joy, deep joy, in loving memories. I accepted my new life. In doing so, I anticipated that my heart would heal.

If you've been listening each week, you know that this month, I've been doing a special series where I've reflected on things I've done and learned as a parent and how they can transfer to the classroom. I've been surprised by how much is transferable and have loved hearing your responses to these ideas as well. Today's topic is something I've talked about with another friend relating to parenting but practiced while in the classroom. That is anticipatory conversations. So, in this episode, I'm sharing what anticipatory conversations are, what they can look like, and how to use them in the classroom. I've always been a fan of finding ways to be proactive rather than reactive, and that's exactly what anticipatory conversations do. They help lay the guidelines, expectations, and potential consequences before an event or activity takes place. This helps diffuse any potential chaos that could arise since students or kids already know what's expected of them. I share examples of how I've used this with my own kids and ways I used it in the classroom before labs, tests, or any other activity where chaos could happen. In using anticipatory conversations in my life, I've found that repetition is key, along with other key tips that help make this strategy more effective. Providing expectation reminders helps you be proactive in certain situations rather than reactive during the heat of the moment. Likewise, students and kids know what's expected of them ahead of time. So be sure to use anticipatory conversations to alleviate potential chaos in your personal and work life!
