The GOAT is here!!! If you've ever referenced client experience, onboarding, or retention in your business, you've probably already felt his influence. This conversation goes deep into why the first 100 days matter more than most advisors realize, and why so many businesses are leaking clients before they ever have a chance to become long-term relationships. If you've ever thought “our onboarding is fine,” this episode might challenge that in the best possible way.Why the first 100 days determine whether a client stays for five years or quietly walks awayThe eight phases of the client journey—and where most advisory firms completely drop the ballSimple, practical ways to create a remarkable client experience (even in a virtual world)How small, intentional touches can accelerate referrals before you've even “proven” your valueThis is one of those conversations that hits both strategically and tactically. It reinforces that client experience isn't about big, flashy overhauls—it's about intentional, repeatable moments that make people feel seen, known, and confident in their decision to work with you. If you're serious about building a referral-driven practice and increasing client lifetime value, this is the kind of episode you don't just listen to—you implement.Check out The First 100 Days Course: The Advisor's Blueprint for a Remarkable Client Experience HERE!Learn more about T2MWorks HERE!

If you've done the therapy, set the boundaries, and still find your body holding onto stress, symptoms, or chronic issues, this episode will shift how you understand healing entirely.In this conversation, Dr. Kelly Kessler sits down with Marcus Fernandez, a global leader in homeopathic education and Principal of the Centre for Homeopathic Education, to explore what it really means to heal at the root—not just manage symptoms.Marcus shares how a personal health experience led him from a completely conventional path into natural medicine, and why true healing isn't about fixing the body—it's about activating the intelligence already within it. Together, they unpack:Why so many high-achieving women still feel unwell even after “doing the work”The difference between symptom suppression and true root-cause healingHow homeopathy works (and why it's more individualized than conventional approaches)The hidden ways we've been conditioned to give our health power awayThe 4 foundational pillars (MEDS framework) that create real, sustainable wellnessWhy your body already knows how to heal and what blocks that processThis episode is not about rejecting modern medicine. It's about becoming informed, empowered, and deeply connected to your own body again.If you've been overriding your body for years…This conversation will show you a different way back.Marcus Fernandez has been at the forefront of homeopathic education for over three decades. As Principal of The Centre for Homeopathic Education (CHE), he's trained thousands of practitioners through a curriculum that balances classical knowledge with modern application. His work is rooted in a belief that natural medicine should be practical, empowering, and accessible - not mystified or gatekept.His latest book 'Homeopathy at Home' reflects that ethos. Designed to be used, not shelved, it offers simple, step-by-step guidance for everyday ailments using natural remedies. Its success, reaching #1 in Amazon's holistic medicine category, reflects a rising demand for family-focused, self-directed wellness. Marcus also created an AI-powered virtual assistant that lets people ask home prescribing questions 24/7 - a project born from his desire to make quality natural health advice as available as online misinformation.While his formal background is in homeopathy, Marcus speaks just as comfortably about men's health, slow living, and holistic longevity. He co-hosts Beyond the Shed, a raw and reflective podcast spotlighting unfiltered conversations about men's emotional health — part of a wider mission to create space for honesty, healing, and ownership in the way we care for ourselves and each other.Whether he's teaching herbal remedies in a London classroom or exploring health span strategies on a podcast, Marcus brings curiosity, compassion, and depth to every conversation. His message is clear: the body already knows how to heal — we just have to give it the right tools. Marcus' warmth and wisdom makes natural health both useful and deeply human.Connect with Marcus:https://www.youtube.com/@Homeopathy-at-Homehttps://marcus-fernandez.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcus-fernandez-98252523/https://www.instagram.com/marcusfndez/https://www.facebook.com/people/Marcus-Fernandez/100009253627766/?skhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Homeopathy-Home-Everyday-Treatments-Complaints/dp/1837823189

Why does your child's behavior feel so hard… even when you're trying to do everything right?In adoption, behavior isn't just behavior.It's layered with loss, attachment, and experiences that often go unseen.And in the moments that feel the most overwhelming—when your child is melting down, shutting down, or pushing you away—it's easy to wonder:Am I handling this wrong?In this episode, we're breaking down what's really happening beneath those moments—and how to respond in a way that actually builds trust and connection over time.I'm joined by Jeanette Yoffe, adoptee, therapist, and founder of the Celia Center, who brings both lived experience and over 20 years of clinical work supporting adoptive families.This conversation goes beyond surface-level parenting advice.We talk about why behavior can feel so intense in adoptive families, how early experiences shape the way children relate to their parents, and what it really looks like to stay grounded when emotions run high.If you've ever felt triggered, unsure, or like you're not getting it “right,” this episode will meet you there—and give you a different way to move forward.In this episode, we talk about:Why behavior in adopted children can feel more intense and personalWhat's actually happening beneath meltdowns, shutdowns, and pushing awayThe difference between reacting vs. responding in high-stress momentsWhat “co-regulation” really looks like in real lifeHow trauma and early separation impact attachment and trustWhy children often internalize blame—and how that shows up in behaviorRecognizing when your child is emotionally younger than their ageThe 5 A's framework and how to use it in everyday momentsHow to manage your own triggers so you can show up more consistentlyWhat helps build safety, connection, and long-term trustAbout Jeanette:Jeanette Yoffe is a licensed psychotherapist, adoptee, and founder of the Celia Center, a nonprofit supporting individuals and families impacted by adoption and foster care.

Is Islam really a “religion of peace” – or a political movement hell‑bent on conquering the West? On Episode 393 of The Angela Box Show, Angela breaks down:Why Islam is not compatible with Western values like free speech, women's rights, and separation of church and stateChurch burnings in Christian nations while media shrugs and looks awayThe demographic strategy: “have 6–10 kids and take over city by city, state by state”A professor's warning that the West has never opened its borders to such a hostile ideologyNew Texas stories: an Islamic college in Dallas and a “Muslim day” at a taxpayer‑funded water park in Grand PrairieThen Angela calls out Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson for their whiplash‑inducing flip:Old Megyn: “Islam is not consistent with the values of the West. There's no such thing as Islamophobia – you SHOULD fear it.”New Megyn: worried she was manipulated by “Israel‑first” voices and suddenly cozying up to Muslim viewersTucker: “regrets” telling people to vote for Trump, calls him incompetent, praises devout Muslims as fellow “reverent people,” and suggests Trump won't be around much longer#AngelaBoxShow #Islam #MegynKelly #TuckerCarlson #Israel #ShariaLaw #WesternCivilization #MAGA #ConservativePodcast

Weather with Enthusiasm | Documentary Episode: "The Heat That Broke Antarctica"A documentary-style episode exploring one of the most extreme atmospheric events ever recorded.In March 2022, temperatures across East Antarctica spiked 38–40°C above normal — the most anomalous polar heat event in recorded history. This episode breaks down the full chain of events: what caused it, what it destroyed, and what it signals about the future of our climate system.What this episode covers:How a chain of tropical cyclones near Madagascar, Indonesia, and northwest Australia triggered a cascade of atmospheric events thousands of miles awayThe role of a misbehaving jet stream and a blocking high-pressure system that funneled tropical heat straight onto the Antarctic plateauWhy clouds in this event acted as a blanket rather than a shade — and how that amplified the warmingThe collapse of the Conger Ice Shelf (≈1,200 km²) and what ice shelf loss means for glaciers and long-term sea level riseThe 2022 record-low Antarctic sea ice and the feedback loops that carried the damage into 2023 and 2024What 54 scientists from 14 countries concluded about climate change's role — and the hard limits of our current climate modelsWhy Antarctica gaining ice mass in 2022 was not the good news some headlines made it out to beKey facts:Concordia Research Station hit −9.4°C on March 18, 2022 — obliterating the previous March record by 18°CThe affected area covered roughly 3.3 million km², comparable in size to IndiaClimate change made the event approximately 2°C warmer than it otherwise would have beenUnder high-emission scenarios, events like this could become dramatically more frequent and 5–6°C warmer still by end of centuryFurther reading:The Extraordinary March 2022 East Antarctica "Heat" Wave — Part I: Meteorological drivers and temperature records.

Send us Fan MailWholehearted Enneagram: A Year Through the Types | Type Eight  | Episode 3 of 4Every Eight starts out protecting something. A wound, a person they love, or a standard of justice no one else seems to care about enough.But protection has a shadow side (and when it tips into control), the armor that was meant to keep people safe starts to push them away instead.In this episode, Amy sits down with Melanie, a Type Eight Canadian farmer, grandmother of almost 12, and certified Wholehearted Enneagram Coach, to walk through the Victim, Villain, Hero, and Guide framework through the lens of the Eight. Melanie is direct, funny, and disarmingly honest about her own journey through each of these roles, including the parts that weren't pretty.This conversation is for every Eight who has ever thrown something, gone silent when they meant to speak, or wondered why vulnerability feels like open heart surgery without anesthesia. And it's for everyone who loves an Eight and wants to understand what's actually happening underneath.In this episode:Where Eights get stuck in the victim role and why it shows up as withdrawal as often as angerWhen protection becomes control: the Eight's villain storyWhat it actually took for Melanie to step into vulnerability, and why she went face-to-face right awayThe hero moment: naming feelings, finding safety, and letting someone inHow Eights move into the guide role and how they learn to hold space without overpoweringThe lie Melanie carried for decades: "If it's gonna be, it's up to me."Why Melanie calls herself a champion, not a challengerConnect with Melanie: https://www.abidebydesign.ca/Support the showRESOURCES FOR YOU:Join the Waitlist for 1:1 Coaching with Amy Wickshttps://www.simplywholehearted.com/callamywicksNot sure about your Enneagram Type?

Last week I bombed a standup comedy gig. Not catastrophically -- more in the way where you know before you walk onstage that you're not ready, and then it shows.I want to talk about it, not for the catharsis, but because the cascade that led to that bad night is exactly the same cascade that leads to underprepared keynotes, flat training sessions, and presentations that don't land the way you knew they could.What actually went wrongI had months of notice. No excuse on preparation. But life did what life does, other work took priority, and I found myself on the day of the gig trying to write new material from scratch. When that didn't work, I retreated to older material I hadn't rehearsed. I took a set list onstage -- something I've never done -- and in that moment I knew it wasn't a practical tool. It was me confirming to myself what I already knew: I wasn't prepared.My opening line died in complete silence. My body started sweating. My face went red. If you've ever watched a performer visibly unravel in real time, you know it's uncomfortable for everyone in the room.The real lesson for professional speakersThe host blamed the crowd. I didn't take that excuse. The crowd was what it was, and I've handled tougher rooms. This was on me.What stings most is that I already knew this about myself. When I'm learning music, nobody hears it until it sounds good. Not a rough version, nothing. I don't share works in progress. I should have applied that same standard here.Performing under pressure doesn't reveal your talent. It reveals your preparation.Two things I'm taking awayThe first is obvious but worth saying: never go onstage unprepared. Sometimes you need a bad night to remember why the obvious rules exist.The second is more interesting. I need to build my improv skills -- not to replace preparation, but to have a recovery mechanism when preparation wasn't enough. A flat opener shouldn't be able to take down an entire set. The ability to read a room, pivot, and bring an audience back with you is a separate skill from preparation, and one worth developing deliberately.Preparation protects you. Improv saves you when preparation wasn't enough.If you speak professionally, this episode is worth your time whether you're a keynote speaker, trainer, or coach. The principles of preparation, self-knowledge, and recovery apply equally whether you're on a comedy stage or a conference platform.Related episodes: Better Speaking Won't Get You Booked, But This Will -- Clinton YoungCHAPTERS00:00 Bombing the Gig00:29 Last Minute Prep Spiral01:35 Set List and Silence03:22 The Real Lesson04:44 Why It Matters to Speakers05:56 Two Takeaways06:19 Improv and Recovery08:56 Winging It Is Earned09:37 Do the Work and Go AgainVisit https://strategic-speaker.scoreapp.com to take the 2-minute Strategic Speaking Business Audit and find out what's blocking you from getting more bookings, re-bookings, referrals and bigger fees.

If you've ever said‘can we just talk about something?'and it escalatesbefore you've even said the thing —this episode is for you.Because it's not the conversationthat's blowing up.It's what happensin the seconds before it even starts. In this episode, we unpack that exact moment — the one where you're trying to keep it calm, keep it small, keep it ‘not a big deal'…and somehow it still turns into tension, shutdown, or a full spiral.The urgency you feel to resolve it.The resistance you feel coming back.And how quickly that turns into‘why do I make things like this?'

Chris sits down with serial entrepreneur Roger Wade, the man behind one of the UK's original streetwear brands and the creator of the world's first pop-up mall.From getting fired three times before the age of 22 to building Box Fresh, launching Box Park, and now reshaping hospitality real estate with Box Kitchen, Roger shares the lessons, mistakes, and mindset that have shaped his journey.This is a conversation about brand, resilience, physical retail, and why most businesses are solving the wrong problems.Why getting fired early might be the best thing that ever happens to youThe real reason Box Fresh worked — and why Roger sold too cheapHow a simple idea turned into Box Park, the world's first pop-up mallWhy food became the hero and retail fell awayThe three reasons people go into business — and which one actually mattersWhy physical retail still beats online (and it's not even close)How Box Kitchen is changing the economics of hospitality developmentThe truth about raising money and why it's often overratedHow AI is levelling the playing field for creative entrepreneursEarly Life & MindsetFired from three jobs before 22Realisation: “If I don't employ myself, no one else will”A near-death experience at 16 that shaped his outlookBuilding Box FreshStarted in Greenwich and Camden marketsOne of the UK's original streetwear brandsLearned the hard way: brand is everythingCreating Box ParkBuilt from shipping containers with no blueprintFood operators became the unexpected winnersCommunity-first approach in Shoreditch and CroydonScaled to millions of loyal customers via the Black CardThe Business Frameworks3 reasons to be in business: Ego, Money, Legacy3 pillars of a brand: Product, Traffic, DeliveryRetail Reality CheckOnline conversion: 1–2%Physical retail: closer to 10%Why the high street still matters more than people thinkBox Kitchen & What's NextModular kitchens, bars, and hospitality infrastructureBuilt for developers and operatorsFar stronger returns than traditional real estateLessons from FailureThe eBay keynote disasterWhy raising money isn't success“Profit is sanity, turnover is vanity”“You make money by seeing something that's growing and growing with it.”“Raising loads of money means nothing.

In this episode, I sit down with Ariel Lorre to talk about something that I think a lot of people quietly wrestle with — how you rebuild your life when you realize the path you're on isn't working.Ariel shares her story of addiction, recovery, and what it actually takes to change—not just externally, but internally.From the outside, she had what most people would consider a stable, even ideal upbringing. But internally, she felt disconnected, uncomfortable in her own skin, and constantly searching for something to quiet that noise.What started as a way to feel more at ease eventually turned into a decade-long struggle with addiction.We talk about:Why addiction doesn't always look the way people expectThe role sensitivity plays in both struggle and healingHow alcohol and drugs can become a form of self-regulationWhat it actually takes to get sober—and why timing mattersThe “gift of desperation” and hitting a true turning pointRebuilding trust with yourself and othersThe concept of living amends and earning your way forward through actionHow to begin discovering who you are when everything familiar is stripped awayThe difference between self-improvement and controlNavigating beauty, aging, and identity in a world that constantly tells you to fix yourselfAriel also shares how meditation, curiosity, and learning to sit with herself became foundational in her recovery—and how that process continues to evolve.This conversation is really about identity, honesty, and permission.Permission to change.Permission to not have it all figured out.And permission to become someone new.Produced by Dear Media.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Bible doctrine of the Pretribulation Rapture of the body of Christ is an oft-ignored and much maligned subject here at the end of the falling awayThe blessed hope of every born again Bible believer living in the Church Age dispensation is the Pretribulation Rapture, or catching away, of the body of Christ. Paul says that we are to speak about it, teach it, preach it and to comfort one another with the words in the Bible showing us the rapture. But in our day, because we live in the time Paul calls the 'falling away', the doctrine of the Pretribulation Rapture is not only not taught and not preached from the pulpit, it is maligned by lukewarm Laodiceans who cannot or will not 'rightly divide' the scripture. Today my message is 'Sunday Morning Rapture', everything you should know but don't because no one taught it to you about the soon-coming catching away of the body of Christ into the clouds. "Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words." 1 Thessalonians 4:17,18 (KJB)

A metaphor of life as a tapestry. This poem visualises life as a tapestry, woven from threads of varying lengths, colours, and textures. Each individual's life is depicted as a unique piece of art. While each tapestry is unique, common life experiences bind us together across different cultures and communities, reinforcing the interconnectedness of humanity. Ultimately, the beauty of life's tapestry lies in its variety and hues. Beverley JoyLife is a TapestryA tapestry sewn through the warp and weft of lifeThreads of different lengths, colours, and textures Short, dark threads and long, light shadesThe silky smooth and the rough to touch.Our tapestry of life can look dark and stormyAt other times, calm and brightAll threads sew various colours into our livesSome are finished quickly, others take a long time.Life is sewn with different texturesEach thread has a beginning and an endingSome cover large areas, others just a few stitchesAdding quality and character to our stories. Coarse threads stitch a tree trunk, strong and roughReflect on rough times in life and the strength requiredTones of green leaves give protection from storms and heatThreads soft and pastel form delicate flower petalsReflect the fragrant pleasures and moments we treasure.The sewer carefully follows the instructionsSewing threads short and long, colours vary until completionIndividual tapestries, yet the colours are universalNo matter what country or culture, we share some ventures.Many loved ones live long lives, while some are cut short in timeHealth and sickness come and stay or fall awayThe goodbye of death, the welcome of a newbornThe joy of marriage, the sorrow of divorce.When the last thread is tied off, the picture is completeThe beauty of life's tapestry lies in its hues and variety.Beverley Joy © 2026 Simply Story Poetry.

Willa Ford joins The Gist to reflect on her journey from early 2000s pop breakout to creative reinvention.

In this conversation, she looks back at that chapter — and shares what was happening behind the scenes.We discuss the evolution of her public identity (Mandah, Amanda, Willa Ford), navigating fame at a young age, and how trauma, resilience, and growth shaped her return to music. Her new album, Amanda, named after her birth name, marks a deeply personal reset — one rooted in healing, authorship, and perspective.This episode explores:Willa Ford's early 2000s pop career and TRL era fameThe story behind “I Wanna Be Bad”Reinvention and returning to music after years awayThe making of her new album AmandaCreativity, trauma, and redefining legacyIf you're a fan of early 2000s pop culture, TRL nostalgia, music reinvention stories, or artist interviews that go beyond the headlines, this conversation offers context and clarity.

In this episode of Leaning Into Leadership, I'm joined by George Couros, one of the most influential voices in education around innovation, culture, and human-centered leadership.George and I dig into his leadership journey — not from a place of “having it all figured out,” but from a place of learning out loud. We talk about how blogging helped him find his voice, not just share it, and why writing, reflection, and vulnerability matter more than ever for leaders.We also explore the ideas behind George's newest book, Forward Together: Moving Schools from Conflict to Community in Contentious Times, including:Why trying to “win” arguments often pushes people further awayThe reality that somebody hates you — and why that shouldn't drive your leadershipThe balance between comfort and challenge in professional learning (the “warm bath / cold shower”)How leaders can move communities forward during polarized, emotionally charged timesWe close with a powerful reflection on leadership and self-care, as George shares how prioritizing his health has changed not only how he leads — but how he models leadership for his own kids.This is an honest, thoughtful, and deeply human conversation about what leadership really looks like right now.You can learn more about George at his websiteGrab his new book on AmazonHere is the link to the blogpost I referenced in the showThank you to our Amazing SponsorsThis episode is brought to you by HeyTutor, delivering high-impact, research-based tutoring that supports students while reducing leadership overwhelm.

Feeling stuck… but you can't explain why? These 7 invisible energetic agreements may be running your life (even if you never consciously chose them).In this episode, we're breaking down what “energetic agreements” really are, how they form (often in survival mode), and how to start breaking them without shame, force, or self-blame. This is about reclaiming choice.In this episode, you'll learn:• What energetic agreements are (and how they quietly shape your choices)• Why these patterns are often protective, not “wrong”• The 7 most common agreements that keep people stuck:The agreement to stay smallThe agreement to trust logic over intuitionAllegiance to the underdog withinThe agreement to do it all aloneThe agreement to be the martyrThe agreement to give your power awayThe agreement to be spiritually responsible for everyone else• How to spot these agreements in real time (behavior + inner self-talk clues)• Simple ways to start shifting them through awareness, compassion, and new choices

Send us a textIf you've ever said to yourself… “I know what to do… I'm just not f*cking doing it.”This episode is for you.And no, this isn't about funnels, algorithms, job titles or another damn thing to fix. This is about the identity gap that keeps brilliant, amazing women playing way smaller than they were ever meant to.Because the thing is… You don't have a strategy problem.You have an internal authority problem.In this episode, I'm pulling apart the idea of “imposter syndrome” (spoiler: I hate that term) and telling you what's actually happening when capable, experienced, intelligent women suddenly feel unsure, stuck, or like they've somehow blagged their way into their own life.This is about the shift from being very good at what you do… to leading like a CEO — not as a job title, but as an internal position of authority.Because without that shift? No amount of strategy will stick.In this episode, we go deep into:Why imposter syndrome isn't a flaw, diagnosis or “thing you have”.... it's a sign your external role has outgrown your internal identityThe outdated identity rules women are still operating from (earning your place, waiting to be “ready”, over-qualifying yourself into paralysis)Why calling it a “syndrome” actually gives your power awayThe real reason stepping into bigger work (leadership, impact, recurring income, visibility) suddenly feels wobbly (even when you're wildly competent)How internal authority changes everything… your decisions, your energy, your sustainability, your confidenceThere's also a deeply personal story in here that completely reframes how I see labels, identity, and the danger of pathologising human experience… and why that matters more than ever if you're building a life or business that actually fits who you're becoming.This is an episode for the woman who:Is done surviving but hasn't fully stepped into her next era yetKnows she's capable of more but keeps hesitating at the edgeIs tired of collecting strategies that don't landIs ready to stop asking for permission and start trusting herselfNo hype.No hustle.No “just be more confident” bullshit.Just grounded, identity-led truth.This episode is about identity.. the internal authority that has to come before any strategy actually sticks. But the strategy part is where Lisa Johnson's work comes in that I talk about as well.I don't recommend many strategy resources, because without identity work they just become another thing women know but don't fully implement. But when the internal shift is happening? Strategy becomes supportive instead of suffocating.Lisa's work is clean, practical, and grown-up. It's the how that works once you've stopped second-guessing yourself.You can check out the free challenge HEREThis isn't something I promote lightly…. it genuinely complements the identity work we're talking about in t

Guiding us toward balance, connection, and freedom from suffering, Krishna Das explores letting go of our numerous self-created stories.This week on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das responds to questions on:Devotional literature and poetryWhat to do when feelings of boredom arise during practiceUsing pain as an object of awarenessHow mantra practice helps us remain balanced in daily lifeDetaching from our thoughts and feelings rather than identifying with themFreeing ourselves from the stories we tell ourselves, about ourselvesThe difference between letting go and pushing awayThe illusion of separation and how recognizing our connection to all beings releases us from suffering Check out this Tibetan devotional poem mentioned by Krishna Das, Life Beyond Time“When there is a lot of physical pain, it is really hard to be present, which is why they always say practice when you can. It is inevitable that people get sick and suffer and die. People we know will get sick, suffer, and die, and we're going to have to deal with those situations. We must find a way to live everyday in the best way we can.” –Krishna DasSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When someone has lived in a home for many years, their property taxes are often artificially low because of long-standing exemptions and assessment caps (like Florida's Save Our Homes).If you close in January of the following year, here's what happens:What you get at closingProperty taxes are paid in arrearsAt a January closing, the tax proration is based on the prior year's tax billThat bill still reflects:The long-term owner's capped assessmentTheir homestead exemptionAs the buyer, you effectively benefit from those lower taxes for that entire yearWhy the increase doesn't hit right awayThe county does not immediately reassess at closingThe new assessed value is set as of January 1 of the year after the saleThe higher tax bill is issued the following yearTimeline exampleJanuary 2026 – You close on the homeAll of 2026 – Taxes are based on the prior owner's low, capped valueNovember 2026 – You receive the first tax bill, still using the old assessmentJanuary 2027 – Reassessment takes effect at the higher valueNovember 2027 – You receive the higher tax billKey takeawayYou enjoy the lower taxes for the full year after closingThe adjustment does not occur until the second yearThis is why January closings after a long-term owner can look very attractive up front—but the increase is delayed, not eliminatedWhy this mattersMany buyers think the taxes shown at closing are permanent. In reality, they're just on a one-year lag due to how property tax assessments work.tune in and learn https://www.ddamortgage.com/blogdidier malagies nmls#212566dda mortgage nmls#324329 Support the show

Send us a textEmmanuel spent years chasing a dream that so many young athletes grow up holding: making it in the NFL. But behind the highlight reels and ambition was a quieter story. One of internal pressure, identity struggle, and eventually, the courage to say, this isn't who I am anymore.In this episode, Ryan talks with Emmanuel about what it really takes to walk away from the game, and what happens when you do. From his early years creating "The Brotherhood" in high school to reaching the highest levels of competition, Emmanuel was seen as a leader. But inside, the weight of expectation and a growing disconnection from himself took a toll.He opens up about reaching a breaking point, experiencing suicidal thoughts, and how faith, mentorship, and deep reflection helped him rebuild a new sense of identity beyond sport. One key idea that shaped his journey was the concept of “Edging God Out,” a mindset he now works hard to avoid, both personally and in his work with other athletes.What You'll Learn:How chasing the NFL dream became part of Emmanuel's identityWhy creating “The Brotherhood” gave him a sense of purpose early onWhat it's like to carry leadership on the outside while struggling on the insideThe quiet crisis many athletes face when their sport no longer fitsHis experience with suicidal thoughts and how he got helpHow the idea of “Edging God Out” changed the way he saw his pathWhat helped him redefine success after stepping awayThe mindset shift that now guides how he supports players in transition

Send us a textIn this episode of The Heart & Science of Leadership Podcast, Dr. Paulie Gavoni sits down with veteran educator Dr. Michael L. Cubbin for a spirited debate on classroom leadership. The conversation was sparked by Cubbin's critique of Paulie's article on establishing expectations during the first week of school, and by his own provocative piece, “Don't Grade Student Work On-Time? Shame on You!”What followed was an honest, challenging dialogue about:Whether classroom systems support or drive teachers awayThe role of values, culture, and reinforcement in shaping student behaviorThe balance between accountability and compassion in teacher expectationsWhy grading and timely feedback remain a flashpoint in educationAt times direct and contentious, this discussion highlights both differences in philosophy and shared concern for improving outcomes for students and teachers. Listeners will hear two strong perspectives that push each other—and the audience—to think more critically about what true classroom leadership looks like.

#304: Is being too “realistic” keeping you stuck?This week, I'm getting into something I've been thinking about a lot lately: how being “realistic” can actually be a form of shrinking our goals to fit our fears.In this solo episode, I'm unpacking why being realistic isn't always the wise or grounded choice it's made out to be, and how it might actually be self-sabotage disguised as protection.I also share some mindset shifts that have helped me stop shrinking my goals to fit what feels “safe” and start thinking bigger again—without spiraling into overwhelm. If you've ever talked yourself out of something because it felt too bold or too unlikely, this one's for you.In this episode, I talk about:Why “being realistic” can be a trapHow I've noticed it showing up in my own lifeWhat to do when your big goals start to feel too far awayThe difference between grounded strategy and self-sabotageEncouragement to stop playing small and dream a little biggerResources:Follow me on IG @lesalfredFollow She's So Lucky on IG @shessoluckypodFollow me on TikTok @balancedlesFollow She's So Lucky on TikTok @shessoluckypodDownload my free Best Case Scenario Journal TemplateSponsors:Nutrafol: Get stronger, healthier hair with Nutrafol.

In this episode, we challenge the all-or-nothing mindset around decluttering and organizing. Not everyone is a minimalist, and not every item needs to go in a donation bag to count as progress. We explore the emotional and personal work of deciding what to keep—not just what to toss—and why organizing is ultimately about awareness and alignment with the life you're building today.This is a gentle reminder that organizing with intention doesn't have to mean constant letting go. Sometimes, it starts with simply asking the right question: What still deserves a place in my life right now?In this episode we talk about:Why organizing doesn't always mean throwing things awayThe importance of clarity, not speed, in the decluttering processA mindset shift from “What should I toss?” to “What do I want to keep?”Mentioned in this Episode:A seasonal mindset check-in: embracing where you are right nowThe emotional work behind identity and organizingWeekly organizing nudges from the Organize & Cherish newsletterReview full show notes and resources at https://theorganizedflamingo.com/podcast Hosted on Acast.
