What if I told you everything you think about yourself and the world is a lie? That might be a lie lol, but a decent amount of us walk around seeing life through a lens thats false, or through a lens of a tired story we tell ourselves.

And I'm sharing tactics with you that help you be more mindful every day and have a more clear perspective that allows you to be your best self. IG: @drconniewang, @justaquickpinch
When estranged adult children don't share their reasons for going no-contact, parents can be forgiven for making assumptions. Some assumptions can be helpful, and even somewhat soothing. But far more often during unwanted estrangement from adult children, assumptions made by parents make them feel powerless. Here are a few examples: My adult child's partner doesn't like me. My adult child is holding a grudge about something in the past. My adult child has a mental illness. My adult child didn't accept my written apology, and that's why they're still silent. Any of those could be true. But then again, they could also be false. Or irrelevant to the estrangement. In this thought-provoking episode, host Tina Gilbertson presents three separate statements from estranged parents, highlighting the assumptions they contain, and explaining why they're problematic. Next, she provides four simple questions we can ask when assumptions make us feel worse about ourselves or our situation. And lastly, she encourages listeners to focus on what they know, which is their own experience. For evidence-based information and tools to repair your relationship with your estranged adult child(ren), read Tina's book, Reconnecting With Your Estranged Adult Child.

In this episode of the MMOA Podcast, Dustin Jones sits down with Dr. Mariana Wingood to cut through the noise and talk about what really drives physical activity in outpatient care. They unpack the barriers we often create as clinicians, the simple strategies that actually get older adults moving, and how tech can be a tool instead of a distraction.

Many workplace challenges stem from unspoken assumptions. Through our coaching conversations, we often see questions like: What really makes someone a high performer? What's the right way to operate as a team? Categories of assumptions include those around the way we work, our communication style, people and their roles. On today's Leadership Foundry Podcast, Brandon and Randy are back on the mics to address some of these assumptions head-on.

What happens when our assumptions—about the future, about ourselves, about others, and even about God—keep us from stepping into the adventure He's inviting us to? Too often, the “what ifs” and the fear of change convince us to play it safe, assume the worst, or stay stuck where we are. But when you know the Lord is calling you forward and you choose to trust Him with the outcome, the unknown becomes an adventure filled with His presence and His promise: “I will be with you.”In this episode, Ben Johnson and his son Kress talk honestly about the lies and limits we wrestle with—too young, too old, not ready, not spiritual enough—and how God has a way of proving those assumptions wrong. Through their stories, you'll see how pushing past fear, embracing risk, and letting go of assumptions can lead to deeper growth, meaningful relationships, unexpected joy, and a true adventure with God. If you've ever felt paralyzed by the “what ifs,” this conversation will encourage you to trust God, take the step He's asking of you, and discover that with Him—you can!

Ever blamed God for a bad day—or thanked God for snagging the perfect parking spot?But what if sometimes that's not God at all—just us, projecting our own fears and desires onto heaven?

This week on Headline Highlights: Chad Daybell makes waves from death row with his new writings, Letters From Chad. Investigators believe they have uncovered the remains of fugitive Travis Decker. In Milwaukee, six children all under 9 years old were found locked inside a storage unit. In Pennsylvania, a shocking discovery came when the bodies of four infants were found inside a single home.

Overview: We sit down with Jean Jacques, physician, community organizer to explore how the long and complex history of the Democratic Republic of Congo—including colonialism, resource-driven conflict, and trauma—shapes the healthcare experience of Congolese immigrants and refugees in the U.S. We talk through the diversity of Congolese identities, languages, and traditions, and examine how food, faith, and community form the backbone of cultural resilience, even as new challenges like diabetes, hypertension, and mental health stigma emerge after resettlement. Our conversation highlights practical advice for clinicians—from building trust and acknowledging trauma to asking about family and respecting cultural foodways—while also discussing the vital role of Congolese churches and grassroots organizations in healing and navigating the American healthcare system. Three Takeaways: Deep Historical Context Shapes Present-Day HealthcareJean Jacques gives a nuanced overview of how the Democratic Republic of Congo's colonial and post-colonial history—including conflict over natural resources, genocide spillover, and foreign interference—directly affects how Congolese refugees experience healthcare today. Understanding these origins is crucial for providers because patients may carry deep-seated mistrust toward healthcare systems, especially given past experiences of forced medical campaigns and trauma from displacement. Language Diversity is a Barrier and a BridgeThe episode details that Congo is staggeringly diverse with “450 ethnic groups, over 5,000 dialects, and four national languages” aside from French. Many community members arrive in the US speaking little or no English—English might be their fourth language, as Jean Jacques shares from personal experience. Assumptions about shared language or uniformity can result in missed care opportunities; tailored language access and culturally sensitive interpretation are essential. Traditional Foods and Diet Transitions Present Unique Health RisksMoving to the US shifts dietary habits—fresh, traditional foods are often replaced by processed convenience meals, contributing to increased rates of diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease in the Congolese community. Efforts to offer healthy-eating guidance (like suggesting less palm oil or leaner meats) often run up against powerful forces: taste, cost, cultural significance, and lack of culturally competent nutrition counseling.

Work is supposed to be human, but too often it feels like the opposite. For decades, we've built organizations on outdated assumptions: managers as “slave drivers,” employees as “cogs,” and work itself as “drudgery.” No wonder so many people feel disconnected. In today's Leadership Spark, I break down what employee experience really means and why it's the foundation of the future of work. We start by unpacking the basic concept of “experience” itself, how it shapes our memories, and why those memories define the relationships employees want, or don't want, to have with their organizations. From there, we explore the flawed assumptions we've built work on, and what it takes to shift from a model of utility, where people need to work, to one of experience, where people want to show up. The future of work isn't about cake, ping-pong tables, or corporate slogans. It's about designing organizations where humanity comes first. ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

Podcast E-E-A-T Method: Make Your Show Discoverable in the AI EraEpisode IntroductionMost podcasters feel the squeeze: discovery is noisy, recommendations are algorithmic, and attention is a flighty housecat. This episode gives you a practical, no-fluff system for making your podcast easier to find and easier to trust by applying Google's E-E-A-T framework—Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness—to your episode planning, titles, show notes, and link structure. The goal: earn more “yes” clicks from humans and from AI assistants that surface answers.Previous Episode How To Make People Binge Your Podcast | S4E17 Apply the E-E-A-T Method to Your PodcastExperience: Show lived experience in every episode. Open with a one-sentence “why I care” statement, then add a quick proof—what you tried, measured, shipped, or learned. In your notes, mark experience with phrases like “What we tested,” “Where this worked,” and “What surprised us.” Pull a concrete detail from your transcript (a metric, tool, or constraint) so the claim feels verifiable.Expertise: Teach one crisp, non-obvious thing per episode. If the topic is common, narrow the scope: instead of “grow your audience,” do “double first-week downloads with title rewrites.” In show notes, summarize the method in 3–5 steps and list any frameworks or formulas named in the audio. Link to definitions or sources you cite so curious listeners—and search engines—can follow the thread.Authoritativeness: Earn authority by borrowing and interlinking it. Quote credible sources, reference relevant case studies, and link to prior episodes that establish a track record. Use a small “Further Reading & Listening” block to point to your own best episodes on the topic and to high-quality external material. Cross-linking your catalog increases session time and teaches algorithms what your show is about.Trustworthiness: Be specific, cite numbers, and avoid hype. Add a short “Assumptions & Limits” line in your notes (what this advice does and doesn't cover). Include your name, role, and a contact or site link in every description. If you recommend products or services, disclose relationships. Consistency across episode titles, descriptions, and transcript formatting reduces friction and builds trust over time.Practical Checklist You Can ReuseTitle (≤55 chars): Promise one clear outcome using the listener's language.Hook (first 2 lines): Problem → result → one-sentence method.Method steps: 3–5 skimmable bullets that mirror the audio structure.Proof: 1 metric, 1 constraint, 1 example from your own experience.Interlinking: Add “Previous Episode” and a short “Related Episodes” block.Trust block: About the host + contact/site; disclosure if applicable.Episode Key TakeawaysE-E-A-T isn't a buzzword; it's an editorial habit. Put a real-world detail in every claim.Titles are tiny ads—front-load the promise and avoid vagueness.Show notes do double duty: human skimmability and machine parsability.Cross-linking your catalog increases completions and long-tail discovery.Trust compounds: consistent structure + specific facts = more recommendations.Related Podcast EpisodesUse ChatGPT to Create Your Podcast Show Notes FAST in MINUTES | S4 E15One Secret To More Podcast Downloads | S4E14The RIGHT Social Network For Your Podcast | S3 E17Does your podcast have TOO Many Guests With Shari Post? | S3 E16How Podcasters Can Succeed By Following Hulu's Strategy | S3 E15About Bruce ChamoffBruce Chamoff is a podcaster, musician, entrepreneur, and public speaker.

In this episode of the Young Dad Podcast, host Jey Young speaks with Dr. David Marcus, a clinical psychologist with over 40 years of experience. They discuss the importance of emotional connections in parenting, the concept of a 'soothing presence,' and how parents can better communicate with their children. Dr. Marcus emphasizes the need for parents to understand their own emotional responses and the impact of stress on family dynamics.

This podcast is brought to you by Outcomes Rocket, your exclusive healthcare marketing agency. Learn how to accelerate your growth by going to outcomesrocket.com Far too many women veterans are overlooked, leading to gaps in care, resources, and recognition. In this episode brought to you by Luminary Labs, Wanda Wright, Director of the Office for Veteran and Military Academic Engagement at Arizona State University, shares her mission to advocate for women veterans and improve access to resources. She explains that many women do not recognize themselves as veterans, which, combined with cultural bias and lack of awareness, leads to higher rates of suicide and homelessness compared to men. Director Wright highlights the importance of asking “Have you served?” in healthcare settings and stresses that collaboration among the VA, state agencies, nonprofits, and local groups is essential to provide effective support, especially in rural areas. While progress has been made with more women joining the military and rising to leadership, she emphasizes that continued advocacy and community involvement are crucial to breaking down barriers and saving lives. Tune in as Wanda Wright shares her powerful journey and insights on breaking barriers, advocating for women veterans, and building stronger systems of support!

Companion Guide Alert!Enhance your listening experience with our brand-new Assumptions That Destroy Communication Workbook, designed to accompany this episode! This guide will help you transform your communication skills. Grab it now for just $4 at: https://stan.store/masteryourmarriage/p/assumptions-that-destroy-communication-workbookEpisode Overview In this episode, Part 3 of our communication series, Robert and Sharla dive into the hidden power of judgments in our everyday language and how they sabotage the intimacy we crave in relationships. Building on Part 1 (the cost of not speaking up) and Part 2 (three communication goals: mutual understanding, connection, and empathy), we explore why we're conditioned to judge—especially in Western culture—and how this “conflict-escalating” language disconnects us from our partners' needs. Featuring a powerful story from NVC founder Marshall Rosenberg and practical tips from Nonviolent Communication (NVC), this episode offers a roadmap to shift from judgments to observations. Plus, we introduce our new workbook to guide you step-by-step!Key Takeaways - A judgment is any thought or statement that labels or diagnoses someone (e.g., “You're lazy”), implying fault and escalating conflict by cutting off empathy and understanding. - We're indoctrinated into judgmental language from childhood through family (“You're naughty”), media (heroes vs. villains), school (grades), and Western culture's emphasis on blame over needs. - The Rosenberg story from Malaysia highlights how language shapes thought—without a “to be” verb for judging, a culture avoids pathologizing others. - Shift to observations (e.g., “I noticed the dishes were left undone”) to open doors to connection instead of closing them with judgments. - Practice daily with our workbook's exercises to rewire your communication habits!
