Welcome to How Humans Heal. In this episode, I'm going to talk about blood sugar levels and how optimizing them can help you clear high-risk HPV virus to negative and get a normal Pap smear result. As you optimize your blood sugar, you're going to optimize your whole health because when we have optimal blood sugar, we have optimal immune function, optimal hormone levels, lower inflammation, and a healthier microbiome—both gut and vaginal. This means we can prevent cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and dementia while improving energy levels, sleep, focus, memory, and body weight. There are many benefits to optimizing blood sugar, which is why this one of the first things I teach patients. Why Monitor Your Blood Sugar Regularly Even if your blood sugar has been normal for much of your life, a change can happen—whether it's stress or perimenopause or post menopause. Learning what affects your blood sugar may be different for you than for others. Two different people can eat the same thing and have completely different blood sugar responses. This is an opportunity to know your body and track what's going on inside your system. I'm here to help you!

In Day 5 of Mood Mastery the Samurai Way, inspired by the steady inner discipline of Miyamoto Musashi, we focus on the Second Chakra (Sacral Chakra)—the center of emotional flow, creativity, and resilience. When moods feel stuck, heavy, or unpredictable, it often helps to soften control and allow feelings to move through you with calm attention. This meditation guides you to reconnect with the body's natural fluidity, easing emotional tension and restoring a steadier, more graceful relationship with what you feel. Leave this practice feeling lighter, more open, and more emotionally balanced—able to meet the day with quiet flexibility rather than resistance. Featured focus: Second Chakra (Sacral Chakra) for emotional balance and flow Best for: moodiness, emotional tightness, creative blocks, irritability, feeling "stuck" or drained Takeaway: Balance isn't forcing calm—it's allowing emotions to move with steadiness. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to Mastering Your Moods—a meditation series designed to help you stop feeling at the mercy of your emotions and start feeling steady, clear, and in charge of how you respond. Moods can shift fast—one message, one memory, one stressful moment—and suddenly you're anxious, irritated, heavy, or overwhelmed. In this series, you'll learn how to work with your nervous system instead of against it, using simple daily practices that help you regulate in real time—so you can come back to yourself without spiraling, snapping, or shutting down. This isn't about pretending you're fine; it's about building emotional skill: noticing what you feel, understanding what's underneath it, and shifting your state with calm, practical tools you can actually use in your real life. This is day 5 of a 7-day meditation series, "Mood Mastery: From Reactive to Regulated,"  episodes 3043-3049. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "Mushin (No Mind) Quest Musashi was known to advocate for the concept of mushin, or "no-mind," in combat. It involves acting without conscious thought, free from hesitation, fear, or distraction. By training himself to enter into a state of mushin during duels and battles, Musashi could maintain emotional equilibrium and react instinctively to his opponents' movements.

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Margarita Camarena. Margarita's relationship with money was shaped by two extremes. As a child, she fled Mexico City after the 1985 earthquake, lost her father that same year, and arrived in the U.S. with her family starting from zero. Years later, after earning two degrees from UC Davis, a lifestyle pivot collided with the 2008 financial crisis and led Margarita to bankruptcy. That decision forced her to face the shame and fear that can come with financial collapse, along with the freedom that can follow. With a mother who taught saving and structure and a father who believed life is meant to be enjoyed while you are healthy, Margarita's story is a powerful lesson in balance and in seeing money as an energy that needs to move. Xochitl Xiuh Ollin, also known as Margarita Camarena, is a Mayan Ajq'ij. She is also a craniosacral therapist, Reiki Master Teacher and manual therapist. She is Tenochca-Tlatelolca, born in Mexico City between the ancient twin cities of Tlatelolco and Tenochtitlan. As a child, she learned from her grandparents how to carry life in a holistic way through remedies and healing practices. Their approach to finances was conservative and rooted in respect, as money was understood to be a primary resource for security and for providing a “comfortable elderhood.” These practices were not labeled curanderismo; they were simply a way of life. As an Ajq'ij, Margarita's role is that of a spiritual guide, carrier of time and fire priestess. She conducts many types of fire ceremonies and works with the 20 sacred Mayan energies and the 13 frequencies of life to guide people. She embraces a multidisciplinary practice that includes craniosacral therapy, Indigenous healing arts, Reiki and multidimensional bodywork. She carries the medicines of sacred lineages from the Zapotec, Maya, Toltec and Mexica traditions. She serves communities in San Francisco and throughout the Bay Area. She is also an educator and offers workshops nationwide and in Mexico, sharing teachings in Indigenous healing, bodywork, medicinal astrology, energy work and Reiki. It is her passion to connect people to nature and ancestral lineages through ceremonies in natural settings and through the cultivation of ritual. Her background is in Art and Design. She comes from a lineage of female curanderas and parteras (midwives), as well as male artists and muralists—traditions she has inherited and continues to practice. When Balance Shapes Longevity Margarita's story is a powerful reminder that money is never just about accumulation. It is about balance, resilience and the meaning we assign to our experiences. From rebuilding her life after loss and displacement to making the difficult decision to file for bankruptcy, she shows how moments often framed by fear or shame can become turning points for growth and renewal. By reframing money as an exchange of energy, Margarita invites us to consider how our financial choices intersect with health, purpose and the lives we hope to live over the long term. Her reflections on community, fear and legacy offer a more expansive view of longevity, not just in years lived, but in impact felt. If you're thinking about how to plan while navigating financial setbacks or major life transitions, an Aspiriant advisor can help you evaluate options, restore confidence and build a plan that aligns your resources with your values. Follow Money Tales on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or YouTube Music for more real stories that explore the human side of money and how thoughtful decisions today can shape resilience, renewal and the legacy we leave behind.

Nearly twenty years ago, Kim Clement released a prophecy that is suddenly colliding with today's headlines in ways few expected. I revisit his 2005 words about global institutions, America's leadership, and a prophet in the White House, then connect them to the current midterm stakes and the battle over election integrity. When you see how these prophetic warnings line up with what is unfolding right now, you will understand why this moment carries far more weight than a single election cycle.   Podcast Episode 2019: Kim Clement Said WHAT?

In this solo episode, Travis dives deep into one of the most powerful success principles he's observed in hundreds of high-achieving entrepreneurs — delayed gratification. Drawing on lessons from personal experience, top performers like Grant Cardone and Kevin Hart, and timeless studies like the Marshmallow Experiment, Travis breaks down why learning to wait for bigger rewards later can completely change your financial, physical, and personal life. On this episode we talk about: How delayed gratification sets the foundation for lasting success The Marshmallow Test and what it teaches about life outcomes Avoiding the “Jones Effect” and unnecessary spending Why choosing short-term comfort leads to long-term struggle Finding balance between enjoying the present and building for the future Top 3 Takeaways Success often comes down to your ability to delay gratification — trading short-term pleasure for long-term gain. Living below your means today gives you the freedom to live on your terms tomorrow. Balance is key: allow yourself small rewards now while you continue building for future success. Notable Quotes “You can have everything you want — just not now.” “Choosing struggle now gives you control over how your life turns out later.” “If you're constantly optimizing for pleasure today, you're sacrificing your peace of mind tomorrow.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/travischappell Twitter/X: twitter.com/travischappell Instagram: instagram.com/travischappell Website: travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis.

For decades, leadership was judged by outputs such as profit, speed, and results. But the real competitive advantage now lies beneath the surface of your P&L: Your culture, trust, and psychology driving every decision, including cybersecurity. Hacia Atherton, the author of The Billion Dollar Blind$pot, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss the invisible human costs — fear, burnout, disengagement — quietly draining performance.

In this episode of Hurdle, Emily sits down with Erika Gabrielli, the Vice President of Global Marketing at HOKA. Erika shares the story of HOKA’s meteoric rise from a niche ultra-running brand to a $2 billion global powerhouse. She delves into the importance of brand authenticity, the power of listening to the community, and why "maximalism" in footwear is about more than just aesthetics—it's about performance and comfort. Erika also opens up about her professional journey, offering tactical advice for those looking to break into the sports industry, the importance of trusting your intuition, and how she balances the demands of a high-profile executive role with being a mother. IN THIS EPISODE The Evolution of "Maximalism": Erika traces HOKA's journey from being "counter-culture" in a minimalist era to leading the industry with its focus on solving the problem of running downhills faster. Scaling with Soul: How the brand reached its $2 billion revenue milestone while maintaining core values like curiosity and inclusivity. Marketing via Experience: Why Erika believes experiential marketing is the most powerful tool for building emotional connections and lasting memories with consumers. Co-Creation over Control: Shifting the marketing narrative from "talking at people" to "world-building" alongside the running community. Career "Harmony": Erika's perspective on rejecting the myth of work-life balance in favor of finding a daily "harmony" that allows for both professional leadership and motherhood. QUOTABLE MOMENTS On Marketing & Community "It’s not about controlling the narrative ... it’s much more about embracing that idea of co-creation. It’s a shift from talking at people to being in a space where we’re doing more world-building." "In terms of greatest brand building, it comes from an experience because it evokes a memory ... that memory evokes emotion, and that’s what always is going to bring people back to a brand." "The work is never done. We can talk about ourselves all day long, but if it's not directly drawn to that consumer insight and how we're solving problems for them, it's not going to pass the bar." On Leadership & Intuition "The paranoid survive. You're always looking around corners to where there's opportunity but also where there's risk. Part of that to me is also tied to trusting your intuition." "It's not always the loudest voice in the room, it's not always the most senior voice in the room that is sharing the right paths or the right ideas." "The only person that's truly going to bet on you is you. Have the inner confidence to know that. You won't know until you try, and sometimes you won't know until you fail and you try again." On Life "Harmony" "I stopped looking for balance a few years ago. I think it's unrealistic. I switched my language into finding harmony. Harmony is about the acknowledgment that I’m not going to be perfect at all the roles I have to play, and that’s okay."

What does it really mean to be "successful" as a high performer… and still feel well? In this episode, I'm joined by Cherylanne Skolnicki — founder and CEO of Brilliant Balance, speaker, and former Procter & Gamble executive — for a rich, honest conversation about ambition, energy, and the seasons of life we all move through. We talk about how the pursuit of more can leave high performers feeling maxed out, even when things look good on paper and how redefining success through the lens of energy, relationships, and life alignment is key to building something sustainable. Cherylanne shares the pivotal moments that took her from corporate leadership to entrepreneurship, how she teaches women to curate their calendars (instead of letting them run the show), and how perfectionism and outdated expectations are silently draining us. You'll hear us explore: What it looks like to honor your current life season Why many women feel disconnected, overextended, or stuck How to manage your energy with clarity and intuition The role of ambition, rest, and recovery in high performance Permission to rewrite what success looks like for you in this season If you've been feeling out of sync or wondering why success doesn't feel the way you hoped, this episode will help you reconnect to what matters most and move forward with more purpose, peace, and clarity.

Technology was meant to make life easier, yet many professionals feel mentally exhausted, distracted, and permanently on-call. Productivity hacks and screen-time limits often fail because they do not address the deeper issue of how technology reshapes identity, attention, and human connection.In this episode of Give A Heck, Dwight Heck sits down with digital wellbeing expert Colin Corby to explore what a real digital detox looks like. Not extreme unplugging, but intentional, sustainable practices that restore focus, protect mental health, and strengthen relationships in a technology-driven world.This conversation examines digital overload, burnout, AI, communication decline, presence, and intentional living, offering practical insight for professionals who want technology to support life rather than quietly control it.

Jamie Vinck is a seasoned behavioral health executive, therapist, and author of The Rehab Playbook. With a background in corporate HR and a powerful personal journey through family, leadership, and loss, Jamie brings a unique blend of clinical insight and real-world business acumen. As the CEO of The Meadows and a board leader in national addiction treatment efforts, she is passionate about helping people find healthier coping mechanisms and create lasting change. Her work bridges professional success and personal healing — a true catalyst for transformation. Three Key Quotes "Addiction is a chronic brain disease" "We all have coping strategies — they're healthy until they're not." "We heal in community. We're all hardwired for connection." Jamie Vinck shares her journey from corporate HR to behavioral health leadership, highlighting the realities of addiction, coping mechanisms, and life transitions. She unpacks how trauma, stress, and even success can mask addiction — and how finding a healthy outlet can be the catalyst for real healing and lasting transformation. 5 Key Takeaways 1. Redefining Addiction Addiction is not about willpower; it's a chronic disease with biological and psychological components. Misconceptions about addiction can delay treatment and increase stigma. Understanding addiction's complexity helps us become better allies and support systems. 2. Cross-Addiction is Real Switching from one addiction (e.g., opioids) to another (e.g., gambling or shopping) is common. The brain seeks dopamine, not the specific substance. Healthy coping mechanisms must be intentional and structured. 3. The Danger in Life Transitions Moments like empty nesting, divorce, or job loss can trigger relapse or new addictions. Many people don't see these changes as high risk, but they are. Awareness and preparation during transitions can prevent maladaptive behaviors. 4. Healthy Coping Isn't Always Healthy "Healthy" outlets like work or exercise can become addictions if they harm relationships or self-care. Self-reflection questions (e.g., "Am I hurting anyone?") help determine if habits are problematic. Balance is the key — passion shouldn't overshadow wellbeing. 5. Exposure Creates Possibility In treatment, people are introduced to new passions — journaling, sports, horses, music, and more. Discovery is key to replacing negative patterns with fulfilling practices. The light in someone's eyes when they find joy is a powerful catalyst for growth.

Episode Title: The Confidence Gap: Closing the Divide Between Your Value and Your Paycheck Guest: Jo Stone – Founder & CEO, The Balance Institute What happens when a high-achieving woman finally stops striving, pushing, and over-delivering… and chooses balance instead? In this powerful episode of the Find Your Leadership Confidence Podcast, host Vicki Noethling welcomes award-winning executive coach Jo Stone, Founder and CEO of The Balance Institute, for an eye-opening conversation about confidence, leadership, and the systemic and internal barriers women face on their way to the top. After her own burnout wake-up call, Jo built The Balance Institute to help ambitious women reclaim their strength, clarity, and fulfilment—without sacrificing their wellbeing. By blending neuroscience, ancient wisdom, holistic practices, and community support, Jo now guides women to step into their brilliance while honoring who they truly are. In this episode, Jo shares why high achievers are so prone to imposter syndrome and self-sabotage, the hidden obstacles that keep women from breaking through the glass ceiling, and the untapped leadership potential that so many women overlook. She also explores why leading with feminine energy is not only empowering—but transformative. You'll walk away with strategies for closing the confidence gap, redefining success on your own terms, and creating a career aligned with your value and vision. Some of the questions asked and answered include: What part of your personal journey led you to create The Balance Institute? Why are high-achievers particularly vulnerable to imposter syndrome, and how can they overcome it? What are the biggest obstacles holding women back from breaking through the glass ceiling—and how can they conquer them? How do women unknowingly self-sabotage their success and limit their potential? What untapped leadership potential do women often overlook? What does it mean to lead with feminine energy—and why is it a game-changer? How can women redefine success on their own terms, rather than society's expectations? What changes need to happen in workplaces to truly support high-achieving women? This episode is a must-listen for women ready to rise, lead with confidence, and create a life they no longer have to compromise for.

As AI spits out confident-sounding information, students' ability to evaluate information and exercise sound judgment matters more than ever. In this episode of The Balance, I explore why evaluation and judgment are foundational skills for responsible AI use and student-led learning. I unpack what it really means for students to stay in control of their thinking before and after they use AI. I'll share how teachers can cultivate these skills across grade bands, from early meaning-making to disciplined judgment in high school, along with practical ways teachers can help students confirm accuracy, identify bias, and make intentional decisions. This conversation is part of my Skills Before Tools series and connects evaluation and judgment to agency, accountability, and helping students use AI as a support for learning rather than a replacement for thinking.

Vanessa highlights how patriarchal and capitalist systems influence women's roles and emphasizes the importance of reclaiming one's identity. The episode offers insights into shifting from survival mode to a path of personal and spiritual growth in motherhood. Join the conversation to redefine what it means to be a mother today.Vanessa delves into the psychological aspects of motherhood and how the generational pendulum swings have influenced current parenting styles, particularly focusing on the intense pressure many women face to be perfect mothers. The episode also touches on the lesser-known trinity wound—the witch, the sister, and the mother wound—and how healing these wounds is crucial for rebuilding community among women. Vanessa emphasizes that motherhood can be a pathway to personal growth rather than a sentence of self-sacrifice. In this episode Myrna and Vanessa will discuss: 0:02 Reclaiming Identity and Challenging the role of Good Mothers6:25 Generational Shifts in Parenting Styles and Emotional Involvement9:55 The Impact of Societal Systems on Motherhood and Self-Worth16:42 Healing the Trinity Wound for Women's Empowerment23:07 The Emotional Challenges and Connections of Motherhood24:25 Redefining Motherhood by Balancing Self-Care and Parenting29:48 Rediscovering Identity and Balance in Motherhood35:45 The Impact of Collectivistic Cultures on Childhood Trauma39:49 Redefining Motherhood and Embracing Radical Responsibility43:28 Exploring Motherhood Myths and Support SystemsResources Mentioned:Vanessa Bennett's Website: vanessabennett.comInstagram: @vanessas.bennettBook: The Motherhood Myth Partner with the Podcast Your brand is featured through:• A CEO or expert interview that positions you as a thought leader• Host-read pre-roll and mid-roll ads woven naturally into other episodes• And long-term visibility across our full media ecosystemTo explore a brand partnership, visit myhelps.us/partner.See this video on The Transform Your Mind YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@MyhelpsUs/videosTo see a transcripts of this audio as well as links to all the advertisers on the show page https://myhelps.us/Follow Transform Your Mind on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/myrnamyoung/Follow Transform Your mind on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063738390977Please leave a rating and review on iTunes https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/transform-your-mind/id1144973094 https://podcast.feedspot.com/personal_development_podcasts/

In this episode of the Grow A Small Business Podcast, host Troy Trewin interviews Sam Carpenter, founder and CEO of Centratel, shares how he built a $7M emergency call center business by focusing on systems instead of hustle. Sam opens up about working 80–100 hour weeks, hitting burnout, and the mindset shift that changed everything. He explains his "Work the System" philosophy and how documenting processes created freedom, profit, and scale. The conversation dives into pricing courage, delegation, and building a business that runs without you. A powerful lesson on achieving real success in business through clarity, structure, and smart leadership. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Sam Carpenter, the hardest thing in growing a small business is enduring the long hours and mental pressure while trying to balance relationships and personal life. Early on, business consumes your mind 24/7, which can strain health, family, and focus. He explains that most owners feel overwhelmed because they see the business as chaos instead of separate systems. The real challenge is learning to step back, stop reacting emotionally, and work on the business mechanically. Once you shift that mindset, growth becomes manageable and sustainable. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Sam Carpenter's favorite business book — the one he says helped him the most — is "The E-Myth Revisited" by Michael E. Gerber. He often credits it with shifting his mindset from working in the business to working on the business by building systems. It deeply influenced his "Work the System" philosophy and helped him see how to structure processes so the business can run without burning out the founder. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? According to Sam Carpenter, he doesn't really rely on podcasts or fancy online learning platforms for growing a small business; instead, he believes the most powerful resource is reading books deeply and consistently. He prefers learning through focused reading and real-world application rather than consuming endless content. Sam emphasizes using simple, reliable tools like email and basic software, avoiding distractions, and developing long attention spans through reading, clear thinking, and systems-based learning rather than chasing trends or tools. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? One tool Sam Carpenter would recommend for growing a small business is a process documentation system — it doesn't have to be fancy, just something that gets you thinking in systems rather than chaos. Many business owners use tools like Notion, Evernote, or Google Docs to write down and organize standard operating procedures, workflows, and checklists. Sam's whole philosophy is about capturing how your business actually works so you can improve it, delegate it, and scale it. The power isn't in the software itself — it's in consistently writing, refining, and using your documented processes to free up time and create predictable results. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Sam Carpenter says that if he could advise himself on day one, he'd say: stop running the business emotionally and start running it mechanically. Instead of seeing the business as chaos, he'd focus on breaking it into separate systems, fixing the biggest problem first, and documenting everything early. He believes years of stress could have been avoided by working on the business instead of being trapped in it. The core lesson: face reality, build systems, and don't try to be the hero.

In this timely and necessary conversation, we speak with Soad Tabrizi, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of clinical experience and the founder of Conservative Counselors—a growing directory connecting clients with reality-based therapists who reject ideological capture in mental health. Together, we explore what the term “Conservative Counselors” actually means, why it has emerged, and why it matters in today's therapeutic landscape. Soad explains how increasing ideological pressure within the counseling profession has left many clinicians and clients feeling unseen, unheard, or silenced—and why intellectual diversity and moral courage are essential for ethical, effective therapy. In this episode, we discuss: What defines a Conservative Counselor (and what it does not) How ideology has shaped modern therapy culture Why clients are actively seeking therapists grounded in realism, truth, and personal responsibility The risks of ideological conformity for both clinicians and mental health outcomes How restoring balance, integrity, and open inquiry can strengthen the profession Soad writes on Substack and for Human Events, where she unapologetically argues that conservative clinicians not only belong in mental health—but play a vital role in its future. Her work centers on truth, courage, and protecting the therapeutic space as one of genuine inquiry rather than indoctrination. This episode is for clinicians, clients, students, and anyone concerned with the future of mental health care and the importance of preserving therapeutic neutrality, honesty, and human dignity.   Mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety, are real, common and treatable.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

This episode started the way some of our best conversations do — on a walk. Chris and Melissa talk about why the idea of "balance" often leaves families frustrated, exhausted, and feeling like they're failing. Instead, they introduce a different lens that has brought them far more peace over the years: seasons of life. Every season affords certain opportunities. Every season also has real limitations. And neither are permanent. Chris shares a conversation he had with someone wrestling with a big opportunity — one that looked great on paper, but didn't quite align with the season of life he and his family were in. That's when the idea of seasonality clicked. Not as an excuse, but as a filter. They walk through real-life examples — newly married seasons, seasons with little kids, seasons when kids are more independent, seasons packed with sports schedules, and even micro-seasons like coaching a basketball team or building a business. Each season requires different energy, different priorities, and different definitions of success. Melissa reflects on how much pressure we put on ourselves to "do it all" at once — careers, health, friendships, travel, parenting — without acknowledging that something always has to give. The freedom comes when you choose what gives on purpose, rather than resenting it later. They also talk about how comparison makes this even harder. Seeing other families travel, rest, hustle, or expand can make you question your own choices — unless you remember that you're not in the same season. Chris shares one of the most grounding decisions he's made for himself: If I choose it, I surrender my right to complain about it. Whether it's coaching basketball, committing to a business season, or choosing rest — owning your choice removes resentment and allows you to fully show up where you are. This episode is an invitation to pause and ask better questions: What season am I in right now? What does this season afford me? What am I choosing to prioritize here? And can I trust that the seasons will change? Because no season lasts forever. And no matter where you are right now, the belief that the best is yet to come is always available.

Notable quote from the episode: Make it as simple as possible, but not simpler. In this episode, Eric Kaiser sits down with mechanical engineer Tony Amadio, the founder of True Loads, to talk about what actually makes residential load calculations succeed or fail in the real world. Tony shares how his work is split between builders, architects, project managers, and HVAC contractors, and why the biggest early battle was simply getting people to trust results that pointed to smaller equipment. He explains how he quickly learned from feedback loops in production housing, including what happens when people "over-vent" tiny spaces like closets and bathrooms, accidentally stealing airflow from bedrooms where it matters. Tony walks through his approach to receiving plans, emphasizing the importance of nailing down the building envelope inputs (windows, insulation, attic conditions) and getting key assumptions in writing. On renovations, he emphasizes that uncertainty is normal, so you lean on photos, field verification, and practical guidance to keep the model honest. They dig into infiltration and leakage, where Tony argues the models are still imperfect even with blower door data, and the real win is setting expectations: the HVAC design works under specific building conditions, and if the building does not match those conditions, performance issues are not automatically "bad calcs." The conversation closes with a discussion of equipment selection, humidity, and where the industry is headed. Tony makes a clear point: most standard residential systems do not directly control humidity, and the code focuses on temperature performance, not a promised indoor RH target. They also touch on ACCA Manual S updates, oversizing rules for staged equipment, and Tony's upcoming True Loads software, which uses the ASHRAE Heat Balance method to represent modern construction and time-lag effects better, while aiming to require fewer inputs than traditional Manual J workflows.

Sarah is all hot and bothered for the "gay hockey show," Heated Rivalry, and she explains why lesbians would enjoy male on male heat. Susie is all wound up about something totally different: umbrellas. To each their own. We learn about a practice that was created in the 1980s where people dying of AIDS would sell their life insurance policies to investors, and we debate the ethics of betting on someone's death. We discuss the difference in written communication between women and men, and the reason women have to track their punctuation and balance perceived warmth and competence. We find out which celebrities are mentioned the most in pop songs, and the three factors that can increase your chances of being name dropped. Plus, Susie shares big news in the true crime world, where two of the biggest unsolved cases in history have been solved--and the same person (allegedly) did both.Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Go to https://thrivecausemetics.com/braincandy for an exclusive offer of 20% off your first order.Get $10 off your first month's subscription and free shipping when you go to https://nutrafol.com and enter the promo code BRAINCANDYHead to https://cozyearth.com and use my code BRAINCANDYBOGO to get these pj's for you and someone you love!
