"The Storm That Erased a City: Galveston, 1900"A Kol Simcha Productions Podcast: On the morning of September 8, 1900, the 38,000 residents of Galveston, Texas woke up to enormous, thrilling waves — and went to the beach to watch them. By nightfall, at least 8,000 of them were dead. The 1900 Galveston Hurricane remains the deadliest natural disaster in the history of the United States — more than five times deadlier than Hurricane Katrina. This is the full story: the arrogance that left a city defenseless, the physics of storm surge that swallowed an island whole, the eyewitness accounts of survival and loss, and the breathtaking engineering comeback that followed. In this episode, we cover:Why Galveston in 1900 was one of the most important cities in America — the "New York of the South" and the "Wall Street of the Southwest"How the island's maximum elevation of just 8.7 feet above sea level made it catastrophically vulnerableIsaac Cline, the Weather Bureau chief who called the idea of a damaging Galveston hurricane "a crazy idea" — nine years before one arrivedHow Cuban forecasters saw the storm coming and warned U.S. meteorologists — and how those warnings were suppressed by the bureau's director, Willis MooreA minute-by-minute account of September 8, 1900, including the 4-foot surge in 4 seconds at 7:30 p.m., documented by Isaac Cline in his own firsthand reportHow floating debris became battering rams, destroying city blocks in a chain reactionThe engineering marvel that followed: a 17-foot seawall and raising an entire city on hand-turned jackscrewsWhy Galveston lost its crown to Houston — and never got it backWhat this storm teaches us about storm surge, dismissed warnings, and hurricane preparedness todayTimestamps0:00 — Cold Open: September 8, 19001:30 — Welcome to Weather With Enthusiasm3:00 — Galveston: The New York of the South6:00 — The Storm Builds: Science & Arrogance9:30 — September 8 — Hour by Hour14:00 — The Aftermath17:00 — What Science Learned19:30 — Outro & What's NextKey Facts From This EpisodeThe 1900 Galveston Hurricane made landfall on September 8, 1900 as a Category 4 stormStorm surge: approximately 15.7 feet — on an island with a maximum elevation of 8.7 feetEstimated wind speeds: 120–140 mph (the anemometer blew off at 6:15 p.m. after recording 100 mph)Death toll: a minimum of 6,000; most estimates cite 8,000–10,000; some reach 12,000Isaac Cline's 1891 Galveston Daily News article called a damaging hurricane "a crazy idea"The 4-foot-in-4-seconds surge at 7:30 p.m. is documented in Cline's own Monthly Weather Review reportThe Galveston Seawall: 17 feet high, 3.3 miles long at completion on July 29, 1904More than 2,000 structures were raised on hand-turned jackscrews; the island grade was elevated up to 17 feetThe seawall proved itself in the 1909 and 1915 hurricanes — the 1915 storm killed 8 people, versus thousands in 1900Sources & Further ReadingIsaac M.

You did the research and optimized your listings and your shop is still slow as heck. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.A lot of sellers come to me frustrated with Etsy SEO because they feel like they've already tried it and it didn't work. But when I dig into their shops, the issue is almost never the concept of SEO itself. It's one of a few specific things that are quietly undermining the whole strategy. In this episode I'm naming all of them so you can figure out which one is showing up in your shop, and what to do about it.I'm also sharing the story of one of my students, who had been selling on Etsy for two years before joining my program. She thought she understood SEO. She had done her research. She had optimized her listings. And she was still not seeing the growth she wanted. Her first month inside EVA she doubled her monthly income, and by six months in she was making almost four times what she had been making before.What You'll Learn:The three most common reasons Etsy SEO stops workingWhy broad keywords one of the biggest things holding your traffic backWhat happens when you target keywords with no real search demand behind themWhy not knowing how to read your Etsy stats is costing you more than you realizeWhere to start if you want to finally get a complete strategy working for your specific shopCalls to Action:Join EVA here and get daily sales on Etsy: https://sarahjwaggoner.com/evapodDM me on Instagram to talk through what might be missing in your shop: https://www.instagram.com/sarahjwaggoner/
Send us Fan Mail*This episode includes honest discussion of pregnancy loss, chronic pain, and the emotional weight of a long infertility journey. Please take care of yourself as you listen.*This one is personal.Four weeks ago, I became a mom. And I've been sitting with this episode in my heart ever since, trying to find the words because this isn't just a birth announcement. This is nine years of faith, grief, pain, and perseverance finally having a face. Her name is Evalina, and she is my miracle.In this episode, I'm sharing the most vulnerable parts of my journey, the parts I didn't always talk about when I was in the thick of it. I'm talking about what it really felt like to live with endometriosis, the miscarriage in 2020 that broke something in me that took a long time to heal, and the slow, unglamorous work of keeping the faith when hope felt impossible.I'm also sharing something that surprised me, a realization I had during my unmedicated birth that stopped me in my tracks. Because somewhere in the hardest moments of labor, I understood something about my endo pain, my body, and my worth that I wish I had known years ago.This episode is for you if you're still waiting. If you're grieving. If you've been told your pain isn't that bad, or if you've quietly wondered whether something is wrong with you. I want you to hear this from someone four weeks out from her miracle: you are not broken. Your story is not over.In this episode, I cover:The core belief that anchored me through nine years of infertilityWhat living with endometriosis actually felt like and what it stole from meThe 2020 miscarriage that broke me, and the long road backWhat "keeping the faith" really looks like when the faith is exhaustedMy unmedicated birth vs. endo pain and the empowering realization it gave meThe emotional complexity of early motherhood after infertilityIf this episode resonated with you, I'd love to connect:Come find me on Instagram.

This podcast episode is not a replacement for individual medical advice and is general education only.You go to the mother's group, you don't put the brake on the pram, and it rolls across the carpark.Baby is fine. You are not.You're already the mum who decided — quietly, without asking anyone — that you wouldn't take your ADHD meds while breastfeeding. Because that's what good mothers do.This is the episode about what happens when 'just push through' stops being a plan.What we coverWhy your prescriber freezes the second you say the word 'pregnant' and what to actually say backWhat the research actually says about traditional stimulants in pregnancy, and the gap between that and the kickback you've been gettingWhy pregnancy and breastfeeding aren't the same conversation, even though everyone keeps lumping them togetherThe Infant Risk Center, the resource your psychiatrist probably hasn't looked at that pharmacists rely onTrying to conceive, IVF, egg collection, and where ADHD meds actually sit in that timelineThe quiet self-sacrifice that tells you a thinking, regulated mother is somehow worse for the baby than an unmedicated, exhausted onePMS, perimenopause, antidepressants in the mix, and why ADHD is rarely just one medication, one decision, one answerMedication breaks, weekend breaks, and why being told to take them on the busiest days of your week isn't advice, it's a generic scriptIron, thyroid, glucose, constipation, and the unsexy stuff your wellness actually hinges on while you're carrying everyone else'sWhy this episode mattersThere is a whole layer of women who stopped their meds the day they saw two lines on a test, never asked the question out loud, and have been white-knuckling it ever since. Not because the evidence said to. Because nobody safe was available to talk to. Rodney has spent thirty years being that person on the other end of the phone, and most mums have never been told he exists.This episode is for you ifYou stopped your meds the second you found out you were pregnant and never asked anyone if you had toYou've been told 'we don't know enough' so many times you've started saying it to yourselfYou're breastfeeding and Googling at 2am because no one in the room will give you a straight answerYou feel guilty for wanting to be medicated, focused, and present, like that's the selfish versionYou're trying to conceive and quietly terrified that staying on your meds makes you a bad mother before you've even startedYou're the one who'd rather suffer than risk it, and you've been suffering for a while nowRelated productADHD Medication Guide — https://adhdmums.com.au/product/a-guide-to-adhd-medication/External links mentionedInfant Risk Center — www.infantrisk.comJean Hailes — https://www.jeanhailes.org.au/Better Health Channel — https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au

Is the belief that we're all separate from each other actually the root cause of everything going wrong in the world right now? Not metaphorically. Literally. That's the question Steve Farrell has spent 23 years...and one very dramatic exit from Silicon Valley...trying to answer.Steve co-founded Humanity's Team in 2003 alongside Conversations with God author Neale Donald Walsch. Today the organization spans 70 countries, 700,000 members, and a streaming platform housing over 300 masterclasses from some of the most respected voices in consciousness, science, and spiritual development.His latest initiative carries a deadline: make conscious living the planetary norm by 2040. He's not kidding.What we get into:Why Einstein called the sense of separation "a kind of prison", over a hundred years ago, and why the science has only gotten more uncomfortable sinceThe specific moment Steve told his wife he might never earn another paycheck, and what she said backWhat walking away from rooms that included Gavin Newsom and Apple's marketing genius actually costs you socially, and how those conversations wentHow Steve got out of the market a full year before the 2008 crash, and what that story reveals about the practical dimension of spiritual guidanceThe 2040 tipping point: what "pervasive worldwide" actually means as a measurable condition, and why 800 million people is the number that mattersThe three-minute practice anyone can start today...no background required, no belief requiredSpiritual bypassing vs. sacred activism: how Humanity's Team draws a hard line between feeling good and doing the workWhat it actually feels like to join a global oneness movement when your whole life has been a solo spiritual practiceSteve Farrell isn't here to sell you on a belief system. He's here to make the case that the crisis of separation isn't just a spiritual problem; it's a structural one. And that the solution has been sitting in the overlap between mystical tradition and quantum physics for longer than most of us have been paying attention.Whether you're all in, just starting, or firmly in the "this sounds interesting but show me the evidence" camp, this episode meets you where you are.Listen, then go outside for three minutes.

You're not stuck because you're not working hard enough.You're stuck because you're solving the wrong problem.In this episode, I'm breaking down the two core problems every salon faces when growth stalls: visibility and conversion.Most salon owners are doing everything right — showing up, working hard, posting consistently — but still not seeing the growth they expected. And it's not because you're missing some secret strategy.It's because you're trying to fix two completely different problems with the same solution.Inside this episode, you'll hear:The difference between a visibility problem and a conversion problemWhy posting more content isn't the answer (and never was)How to identify which gap is actually holding your salon backWhat happens when visibility and conversion systems finally work togetherWhy most salons are only solving half the problem (or neither)If your salon feels stuck, even though you're doing everything, this episode will help you finally see what's really going on and where to focus next.Salon VisibilityIf new clients aren't finding you consistently, this is where you start.Learn how to get your salon showing up on Google, in your community, and in front of the right people, without relying on social media.https://www.salonmindsmastermind.com/salon-visibility Join The Monday Club:Where leadership, systems, salon visibility, and the compounding cash system come together, without the burnout.https://www.lexilomax.com/monday-club

Taking time off from training happens. Injury, burnout, work, stress, travel, or just life getting busy. Getting back into the gym usually feels harder mentally than it does physically. In this episode, Heather and Katie talk through how to return to training after a long break in a way that actually sticks.We break down what to focus on, what to avoid, and how to rebuild strength and consistency without burning yourself out or trying to train like you never stopped.What We Cover:Why checking your ego matters more than your old PRsWhy starting with less than you think is the fastest way forwardWhy consistency beats intensity when you are coming backWhat to expect with soreness and fatigue after time offWhy RPE and reps in reserve matter more than percentagesWhy volume should come before intensityWhy recovery is non negotiable when returning to trainingWant More?Join our Newsletter Online Nutrition Coaching Join our Facebook Group
Most service businesses don't stall because of a lack of talent or ambition. They stall because the business quietly outgrows the systems it was built on.In this episode of The Handbook, Harv Nagra sits down with Jason Swenk – agency founder turned advisor who's spent two decades helping agencies and consultancies scale with more confidence and less chaos. After building and selling his own eight-figure agency, Jason codified the patterns he kept seeing into an eight-system framework for predictable growth.We unpack why so many leadership teams feel stuck, what actually breaks as businesses scale, and how operators can help reset the foundations before things start to crack.Here's what we get into:Why clarity, positioning, and offering are the foundations everything else depends onHow to move from reactive growth to a more deliberate, scalable operating modelThe difference between prospecting and sales – and why skipping steps causes pain laterHow delivery, ops, and leadership systems protect margins and give leaders time backWhat it really means to transition from founder mode to CEO modeWhether you're an Ops Director, COO, or part of a leadership team trying to break through a growth ceiling, this conversation is a strong reminder that maturity isn't about working harder – it's about building the right systems at the right time.Additional Resources:

Send us a textAre you overwhelmed or just missing the words to say what you feel?In this episode, Nina Garcia explores emotional literacy, the third profile in the Emotional Security Spectrum. Using the character of Cyclops from X-Men, Nina powerfully explains what happens when we feel big emotions but don't have the language to express them. You'll learn how emotions live in the body, why control is not the same as courage, and what it actually looks like to show up for yourself with honesty and clarity. If you've ever pushed through pain, repeated the same relationship patterns, or felt out of control emotionally, this episode offers tools to help you understand and speak your truth, without shame.What you're going to walk away with:

Through their journey, Nina shows how emotional awareness can protect you from staying stuck in cycles that hurt. If you've ever questioned someone's behavior or felt emotionally stretched by someone who wouldn't fully show up, this episode will help you understand why—and what to do about it.What you're going to walk away with:

In this episode, Randy was a guest on 'Success Through Connections', and wanted to share this show with his listeners and followers.---Welcome back to Success Through Connections—I'm Zelda, and today I'm checking a big one off my “someday” list. Two decades ago I watched Randy Gage light up a room at the Florida Speakers Association. He was a phenomenon then; he's a phenomenon now. Not the glossy, “just manifest it” kind—the real, sometimes uncomfortable truth-telling kind.In this episode, Randy and I dismantle prosperity myths and rebuild them with brick, mortar, and doing the work. You'll hear how a kid who didn't know professional speaking existed became a global voice on success and prosperity—by training teams on a whiteboard, writing (and rewriting) ideas until they held water, and betting on himself with bold, prudent risks.We talk about:Why positive thinking alone won't create wealth and what actually willThe daily habits Randy swears by to keep his energy, focus, and success on trackThe biggest money lie people tell themselves that keeps them strugglingHow to tell the difference between a risk worth taking and one that will hold you backWhat prosperity really means beyond just making more moneyThis isn't about quick fixes or sugar-coated advice. It's about looking honestly at how you think about money, success, and the life you're building. If you've ever felt stuck between surviving and thriving, Randy shares a perspective that might be the shift you've been looking for.

In this episode, Caitlin and Lurinda sit down with Lucy, a mum of three who's been in the personal development space for a decade. Lucy gets honest about why all that mindset work and manifestation coaching helped her intellectually but never actually healed anything, and how Shadow Alchemy became the first approach that actually worked. From judging women in the gym to realising she was projecting her own desire for confidence, Lucy shares the messy truth about spiritual bypassing and what it really takes to move from understanding your patterns to actually healing them. Plus, some excellent tangents about going clubbing in your 30s and why we stop having fun as adults.This episode is for you if:You've done years of mindset work but keep running the same bloody patternsYou judge other women's confidence and secretly wish you had it tooYou can connect all the dots about your childhood trauma but still feel triggered by the same stuffYou've lost parts of yourself to motherhood or "adulting" and want them backWhat we'll cover:Why Lucy used to judge women in the gym and what that really meantThe difference between intellectually understanding your patterns and actually healing themHow spiritual bypassing keeps you stuck in analysis without feelingWhat happened when Lucy finally let her alterego come out at the nightclubResources Mentioned:Shadow Alchemy Certification: shadowalchemycoaching.comShadow Alchemy Coaching Academy: @shadowalchemycoachingacademyConnect with Us:This conversation will probably make you think about all the parts of yourself you've shut down in the name of being "appropriate." Share your thoughts with us @shadowalchemycoachingacademy - especially if you're ready to stop intellectualising your way through healing.If you've been doing mindset work for years but still find yourself stuck in the same patterns, maybe it's time to stop thinking your way through your trauma and start feeling it. Lucy's story is proof that understanding yourself isn't the same as healing yourself - sometimes you need to get out of your head and into your body. And maybe, just maybe, you need to go dancing.

Is continuing education actually worth it... or just another thing beauty pros feel pressured to invest in? In this episode, I share my own real-world journey through lash trainings, trial-and-error, and that moment I realized, years in, that there were skills I desperately needed but never got in school. (Spoiler: It wasn't more lash maps.)I also open up about what I wish I'd done differently, how to know when it's time to invest in a course (and when it's not), and what kind of education really helps you stand out - not just in your skills, but in your income, freedom, and confidence as a solo beauty business owner. Plus, I give you a peek into the Lash Biz Babes Conference and why it's become such a full-circle moment for me.What you'll learn in this episode:What's missing from most beauty school curriculums?How to figure out what kind of education you need nextCan the right course actually fast-track your income?What should you ask before signing up for any class or coaching?How bad habits (in biz or technique) holding you backWhat's one mindset shift that could change everything?If you've been debating whether that next training or business course is worth the money (or just feeling overwhelmed by all the options), this one's for you.

If you're stuck in the weeds, overwhelmed by your to-do list, or wondering why growth still feels unstable, this episode is for you. I'm sharing the two mindset shifts that have changed everything for me and the nonprofit leaders I coach—moving us from burnout and stagnation to thriving teams, sustainable funding, and scaled impact. These aren't feel-good platitudes. They're strategic approaches that rewire how you lead, grow, and build.Let's talk about what it really looks like to lead differently—so your organization can grow and sustain impact at the same time.
Send us a textThis week on Outside Insights, I sit down with Dr. Wes Bowman — a man whose path was anything but linear. Labeled in grade school. Flunked out of college — three times. Built a successful practice by learning to turn shame and failure into the fuel for a meaningful life.Wes is a career psychologist, the Director of the Delaware Family Center, and someone who's spent decades helping people reframe their reality — and find their way forward.In this conversation, we get into:Why thoughts literally create your own realityHow stress hijacks your brain — and how to get it backWhat happens when we stop running from anxiety and start learning from itThe power of saying “no” without guiltWhy embracing change may be the only path to peaceWe talk about the “United States of Amygdala” — Wes' term for the overactive, overstimulated mental state most of us live in without even realizing it. And we explore how to manage that reality with science, presence, and practical tools.There are no quick fixes here. But if you're willing to sit with it, this episode will give you something more valuable: perspective.Listen to the full conversation HERE.Until next time, friends,ChrisP.S. One quote that Wes shared—and that I keep coming back to—is from Gary Emery's book Rapid Relief from Emotional Distress:“In your mind, via your thoughts, you create your own separate reality.”It's simple. It's unsettling. And it's also a roadmap.If this conversation resonates, forward it to a friend or colleague. Insight is meant to be shared.
