What would change if we gave athletes a real framework for understanding RED-S — before something went wrong? That's the question driving Hannah Ballowe's entire career right now. Hannah is a professional middle-distance runner, PhD student at NC State, and women's health researcher whose dissertation is focused on creating and validating a REDs-specific screening tool. She's also a former Virginia Tech runner who, despite training with a coach who presented on nutrition, didn't learn what RED-S actually was until she was out of college — and noticed she wasn't alone in that. Heather and Hannah talk through what the culture around fueling, periods, and body image actually looked like on her college team, the comparison trap that nearly consumed her freshman year, the summer she tried eating less and almost passed out at the finish line, and what she's building now to make sure the next generation of athletes has better tools. They also talk about her path to training professionally with coach Lori Hennis in Raleigh, what it's like to balance a PhD and elite training, and her very specific plan to one day run 100 miles.

Since the passage of Proposition E in 2024, San Francisco has expanded its use of technology in public safety, including drones, automated license plate readers, and the city's new Real Time Investigations Center. As these tools become part of everyday policing, they've prompted conversations about how the city can pursue safer streets while protecting privacy and civil liberties. How should new technologies be evaluated and overseen? What transparency and accountability measures make sense? And what can San Francisco's experience teach other cities considering similar approaches? Join us for a thoughtful conversation about technology, public safety and civil liberties—and what responsible innovation looks like in practice.

Rick Allen and TJ Osterman are back on the Paper Stack Podcast to talk about balancing yield and risk in note investing.In this episode, they dig into why chasing an 18% target yield can sound attractive, but often comes with added risk, more defaults, thinner equity, smaller-balance assets, or heavier servicing and workout demands. They also explain why experienced investors may prefer steady “base hit” performing notes in the 8-10% range when the borrower profile, equity position, collateral file, and exit options are strong.Rick and TJ cover loan-to-value, borrower credit, down payments, collateral review, performing versus non-performing loans, portfolio balance, and why liquidity matters when you may need to retrade a note later.The takeaway: don't step over a solid deal just because it does not hit a flashy target yield. A balanced portfolio can create steadier cash flow, reduce stress, and still leave room for higher-yield opportunities.This episode is for educational purposes only and is not financial, legal, or investment advice.Follow Us On These Platforms:

As our hormones and female physiology change, running a bit less and more strategic is essential to feel stronger, healthier, and even faster.Louise Valentine, a leading expert for perimenopausal active women and runners, sits down with Jen to look back on their four-month training cycle and share what happened when they reduced running mileage, focused more on the Breaking Through Wellness female-specific strength training and fitness methods, and stopped forcing their bodies to keep up with demanding race goals.One of their biggest lessons was once again learning to recognize a bioindividual “stress tipping point”, a science-backed theory that Louise teaches us to thrive through perimenopause. For example, more training is not always better, especially when sleep, recovery, hormones, hunger, mood, and body composition start to suffer. Louise shares how stepping away from half-marathon training helped improve her sleep, libido, strength, physique, recovery, and hormone markers while still allowing her to run faster. Jen also discovered that shorter runs brought her faster physique changes, more joy, improved energy, and made training easier to fit into her busy family life.They also discuss excessive cardio, hunger hormones, female-specific strength training, ditching social media pressure, and the empowering freedom that comes from changing goals without feeling like you failed.The takeaway is simple: your healthiest and most effective training plan looks a lot different in midlife as your hormones and female physiology change.RESOURCES + LINKSLearn & level up with my free nutrition guide & award-winning 1:1 Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.comBlog post mentioned in this episode, “Trying to find your sweet spot with running & fitness in perimenopause?

What if the rejection that broke your heart was actually protecting you and redirecting you toward something greater? On this episode of The Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., Linda Mitchell sits down with powerhouse vocalist Pia Toscano for a conversation about faith, rejection, surrender, resilience and learning to trust the path you never planned. Pia first captured national attention as a frontrunner on Season 10 of American Idol. Her unexpected ninth-place elimination stunned viewers and judges alike and became one of the most talked-about eliminations in the show's history. But Pia's story didn't end when that door closed. She went on to tour with Jennifer Lopez, collaborate and perform with legendary producer David Foster, and become a frequent touring performer with world-renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli. Today, Pia has built a community of more than one million followers and is preparing to head back on tour with Bocelli. Now she's telling the story behind those unexpected turns through her deeply personal new single, "Redirected." Co-written with Stacey Kelleher, the song grew from a phrase Pia had repeated to herself for years: "Rejection is God's protection." Pia shares how she came to understand that closed doors, heartbreak and unanswered prayers weren't necessarily setbacks. Sometimes they were leading her somewhere she couldn't yet see. Linda and Pia also talk about surrendering control, looking back at the defining moments of her career, finding purpose in disappointment, and Pia's newest and perhaps most meaningful chapter yet: preparing to welcome her first baby in December. This conversation is for anyone who has ever wondered why something she desperately wanted didn't happen. Maybe you weren't rejected. Maybe you were redirected. IN THIS EPISODE Pia and Linda talk about the powerful story behind "Redirected," why Pia believes rejection can be God's protection, her shocking American Idol elimination, what came after Idol, touring with Jennifer Lopez, working with David Foster, performing around the world with Andrea Bocelli, surrendering the life you planned, trusting closed doors and unanswered prayers, preparing for motherhood, and finding the courage to believe there may be something greater ahead. Summary In this episode, Pia Toscano shares her inspiring journey from American Idol rejection to international success, emphasizing the importance of trust, surrender, and redirection in life and career. Discover how embracing setbacks can lead to unexpected opportunities and personal growth.   Key Topics Pia Toscano's journey from American Idol to international performer The role of rejection and redirection in personal growth The importance of trusting life's timing and surrendering control Balancing career ambitions with motherhood and personal joy Lessons learned from working with Jennifer Lopez and Andrea Bocelli Takeaways Rejection is often redirection and a sign of God's protection. Trusting the timing of your life can lead to unexpected opportunities. Surrendering control is key to discovering your true path. Maintaining faith and positivity helps overcome heartbreak and setbacks. Embracing change and new seasons brings joy and fulfillment. Sound Bites "I don't take no for an answer and I try not to let it defeat me." "Sometimes the life is your meant for begins when your original plan falls apart." "God's way is going to be better than my own."

Would you trust a real estate agent more if they were willing to lose a commission to stop you from making the wrong financial decision? In this episode of the Real Estate Excellence Podcast, Tracy Hayes sits down with Marilyn Gilman. Marilyn Gilman is a Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices real estate professional whose background includes decades of exposure to real estate development through her husband's family business before she earned her own license in 2019. After spending 19 years raising her family, Marilyn entered real estate at age 50, earned Rookie of the Year recognition, sold more than $5 million during her first year, and eventually built a team with her daughter Aubrey. Her experience shaped an approach centered on relationships, listening, judgment, negotiation and putting the client's interests before the transaction. Marilyn and Tracy Hayes explore what separates successful agents from people who simply hold a license. Marilyn explains why trust must be earned, why agents need to slow clients down before they make emotional decisions, and why she will sometimes talk someone out of buying real estate. The conversation also covers pricing, appraisals, affordability, insurance, property taxes, investment properties, changing Jacksonville neighborhoods, fiduciary responsibility, working diplomatically with other agents and the importance of following up when a deal appears lost. For Marilyn, the reward comes from helping people make sound decisions while still embracing the negotiation and business side of real estate that keeps her addicted to the hustle.  If this conversation helped you think differently about real estate, relationships and serving clients as a true fiduciary, subscribe to the Real Estate Excellence Podcast, share this episode with an agent who needs to hear it and follow the show for more conversations with top real estate professionals.   HighlightsTop of FormBottom of Form 00:00-18:30 Building a Career Through Life Experience Starting real estate at 50 Working with daughter Aubrey Balancing technology and relationships Returning to work after raising a family Turning life experience into real estate skills 18:30-38:11 Building Trust With Clients Why relationships drive the business Listening before giving advice Talking buyers out of the wrong house What new agents need to understand Professional image and personal safety 38:11-01:00:33 Buyers Negotiations and Pricing Understanding what buyers really want Balancing emotion and financial reality Finding common ground in negotiations Pricing homes for the current market Why every transaction requires a different strategy 01:00:33-01:13:49 The Real Cost of Homeownership Property taxes and portability Insurance costs in Florida Roof age and insurability Looking beyond the mortgage payment Helping buyers understand affordability 01:13:49-01:25:26 Knowing When Not to Buy When renting can be the better choice Avoiding financial overextension Evaluating investment properties carefully Choosing communities around lifestyle needs Comparing older and newer Jacksonville neighborhoods 01:25:26-01:38:01 Fiduciary Advice and the Real Estate Hustle Handling a low appraisal Helping buyers and sellers find common ground Keeping personalities out of negotiations Following up when a deal falls apart Why Marilyn loves the hustle and business of real estate   Quotes: "We're more alike than different in general." – Marilyn Gilman "You need to figure out what you don't want to figure out what you do want." – Marilyn Gilman "I don't want on my watch someone to buy a house they really can't afford." – Marilyn Gilman "I like the helping people, like everybody probably says, but I'm really addicted to the hustle." – Marilyn Gilman   To contact Marilyn Gilman, learn more about her business, and make her a part of your network, make sure to follow her Website, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.   Connect with Marilyn Gilman!

Drew Perkins is joined by Neal McCluskey to discuss his new book, Fighting for the Freedom to Learn. We move beyond the common narrative that school choice is a modern, free-market invention of the 1950s, instead tracing the historical roots of educational pluralism back to the colonial era. Links & Resources Mentioned In This Episode Have some feedback you'd like to share? You can email me at drew@thoughtstretchers.org. If you enjoyed this episode, please share it and please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you're listening. *intro/outro voice credit: David O'Hara, Professor of Philosophy, Classics & Environmental Studies; Director of Environmental Studies & Sustainability at Augustana University  Key Takeaways: School Choice Has Deep Roots: The desire for educational pluralism predates 20th-century market-based theories; it is a fundamental human response to the imposition of centralized values that dates back to the colonial period. The "Common School" Conflict: The centralized, government-controlled education system introduced by reformers like Horace Mann historically marginalized minority and religious groups, leading to immediate pushback that still echoes in today's disputes over curriculum and religious content. Pluralism as a Solution: Educational choice is not just an economic policy; it is a social one. It allows diverse communities to embrace their own values—whether religious, philosophical, or pedagogical—without needing to impose those values on everyone else. Accountability vs. Content: A robust pluralistic system can prioritize parental choice while still maintaining accountability, ensuring students learn essential skills (reading, writing, math) without forcing a uniform, state-mandated worldview. Why Culture Wars Persist: Universal school choice programs are currently expanding across the U.S. not just as a reaction to COVID-19, but as a legislative strategy to resolve long-standing disputes over which values and histories are taught in public classrooms. Episode Highlights & Timecodes: [00:08:49] – Intro: Neal McCluskey on Fighting for the Freedom to Learn. [00:13:20] – Challenging the "1950s" narrative: The true historical roots of school choice. [00:18:15] – The Horace Mann legacy: How common schooling fueled early cultural conflict. [00:23:50] – Civil rights and minority perspectives on controlling education. [00:34:56] – What does a "baseline" education look like? Balancing civic skills with parental rights. [00:41:35] – Why public schools struggle to teach controversial content (e.g., evolution vs. creationism). [00:46:11] – Redefining the "Public Good": Is pluralism the ultimate goal of educational policy? [00:56:02] – The modern surge: Why states are embracing universal school choice today.

Making difficult decisions after cancer isn't something we talk about enough.The kind where there isn't a clear “right” answer.Where every option comes with trade-offs.Where you're weighing up your long-term health, your quality of life… and sometimes, parts of your identity.In this episode, I'm joined by the incredible Jen Delvaux — cancer survivor, podcast host, and founder of a thriving community in the US.

When you walk through the door after work, are you actually present or are you still running the day's to-do list in your head?Is there ever a “good” time to have a baby in the middle of specialist training and how do you fund it?How do the best dentist-parents you know protect time with their kids without their careers stalling?And can technology actually give you hours back — or is that just another thing to feel guilty about?This is one for the dads. In this Interference Cast episode, Jaz sits down with Dr Sunny Marwaha — a dentist completing part-time specialist training in prosthodontics at Guy's, who became a father right in the middle of it. It's not a clinical episode. It's an honest conversation about doing the hardest career stretch (training, buying practices, building a name) at the exact same time you're raising young children — the sleep, the money, the guilt, and the strategies that actually help. Two dentist dads, comparing notes.What You'll Take From This EpisodePriority management, not time management — Decide what this season of life is for, and protect it; priorities shift as the kids grow.Leave the day at the door — both directions — The driveway is dad mode, the clinic is showtime; you can't take work home or home to work.Run the family like a small business — Regular family meetings and a “mind like water” system can help carry the load without living in your head.Use AI to buy back time — Make use of dictated notes, auto-drafted letters, and turning papers into audio for the commute. This is leverage, not cheating.Specialise or self-direct? — An honest filter for whether a structured training pathway or private courses and mentorship suits you better.Highlights of This Episode00:00     Teaser00:42     Daddy Dentist: Balancing Fatherhood and Dentistry03:42     Should You Specialise or Learn Through Private Courses?10:12      How to Time Having Kids Around Specialist Training13:32     Paternity Leave for Dentists: What's Realistic?16:42     Funding Specialist Training With a Young Family20:02     Why Family Support Is a Privilege, Not a Given22:57     Time Management vs Priority Management23:42     The Two Moments With Your Kids That Matter Most29:12      Protecting Sleep, Fitness and Your Mental Health30:13     Midroll39:03    Top Tips for Dentist Dads41:53      Using AI to Buy Back Time for Your Family45:53     Run Your Family Like a Small Business53:33     How to Cut Kids' Screen Time (and Make It Stick)59:23     Life After Specialist Training: A Shorter Week59:57     OutroFrom the GuestDr Sunny Marwaha is a dentist completing part-time specialist training in prosthodontics at Guy's (King's College London).

Glyn Aeppel has spent decades at the highest levels of hospitality investment, but it's her time working alongside André Balazs that tells you the most about her eye. In this episode, Glyn, founder of Glencove Capital and one of the few women-owned boutique hospitality investment firms in the US, joins Ariela to unpack what she looks for in founders and brands, why "scale" means something completely different in boutique hospitality than in big-box brands, and the biggest misconception she still sees derail beautifully designed hotels. They also dig into her decade-long investment in Mob Hotel, lessons from working alongside hospitality icon André Balazs, and the trends she believes will define the next decade of boutique travel.Episode Time Stamps:0:00 – Introduction to Glyn Aeppel and Glencove Capital2:37 – Why she left the corporate world to found Glencove Capital6:06 – What she looks for in founders and brands before investing8:55 – Redefining "scale" for boutique hospitality — the choir and symphony analogy12:17 – Balancing creative vision with financial discipline17:12 – The biggest misconception in hospitality investment18:52 – Lessons from working alongside André Balazs (Chiltern Firehouse, The Standard)23:58 – Inside Mob Hotel: her decade-long investment and its social mission31:19 – Evaluating international investments and the importance of local partners34:28 – The two trends defining boutique travel's next decade: wellness and sustainability42:21 – Closing advice: be authentic and true to yourselfEpisode Highlights:Leaving a corporate role as "the second-largest shareholder but not the decision-maker" to found Glencove Capital out of frustration, not inspirationCalling herself a "corpreneur" — someone who becomes an entrepreneur later in life after a corporate careerWhat she looks for in founders: passion, deep knowledge, and knowing what they don't knowWhy cookie-cutter consistency is the enemy of boutique hospitality — and her choir/symphony analogy for how a brand umbrella should workThe constant push-and-pull between creative vision and financial discipline in scaling a boutique brandThe biggest misconception in hospitality investment: a beautifully designed building doesn't guarantee guests will comeWorking alongside André Balazs on Chiltern Firehouse and The Standard, and how he built teams around each project's unique visionInside Mob Hotel — her 10+ year investment in Cyril Azoulay's social-mission-driven European hotel brand, and its US expansion plansWhy international investing requires a trusted local partner — including a small but telling example (no TVs in Mob Hotel rooms) of cultural differences in hospitality designTwo trends she believes will define the next decade of boutique travel: deep health and wellness programming, and authentic sustainabilityGlyn and Ariela close by returning to a theme that runs through the whole conversation — that authenticity, not scale or spectacle, is what separates lasting boutique hospitality brands from the rest. From her own leap from corporate life to founding Glencove Capital, to her work with André Balazs and her long-term belief in Mob Hotel, Glyn's throughline is the same: know what you don't know, surround yourself with the right people, and stay true to your vision even when it isn't the easy path. It's a fitting reminder that in an industry chasing wellness and sustainability trends, the most durable investment is still in genuine, well-curated human experience.Stay tuned for the next episode of The Unfamiliar Shift with Ariela for more insightful discussions on the boutique lifestyle lodging industry.Keep connected with BLLA for the latest updates and explore BLLA.org for more resources.

Preserving culture requires more than celebrating it. The traditions also need customers, economic opportunity, and a path to the next generation. Suleiny Altamirano, founder and CEO of Tizana Mexicana, shares how moving from Guerrero, Mexico, to Seattle inspired her to build a bridge between Mexican artisans and new markets. She explains why trust matters more than technology, how immigrant founders can build a new support system, and why social impact companies still need a sustainable business model. We also discuss: • Why immigrant founders need to create a new family of mentors, supporters, and collaborators  • How Tizana Mexicana works with approximately 175 artisans • Why artisan products cannot compete on price alone • How cultural traditions disappear when creators cannot earn a living • Building trust across language, banking, technology, and communication barriers • Why founders should talk about their ideas before they feel ready • Balancing social impact with profitability • Expanding beyond Washington and bringing more artisans to Seattle  • The role of community in entrepreneurship and leadership Suleiny' links" LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/suly-altamirano  Website: https://www.tizanamexicana.com Instagram: @tizanamexicana Jason's CTA:  Subscribe to The Jason Cavness Experience on YouTube for more conversations with founders, operators, and builders turning personal experience into meaningful companies.

In this episode, Maggie Shea sits down with Christopher Musialowski, career and life coach and founder of Own Your Path Coaching, to talk about career changes, burnout, work-life balance, and why so many professionals reach a point where they start asking, "Is this really what I want?" Chris knows that feeling firsthand. His own career took him through banking, government, nonprofit leadership, fundraising, and executive roles before he recognized a common thread. The part of his work he enjoyed most was helping other people develop, think through their careers, and figure out what they wanted to do next. Eventually, Chris decided to take a risk and turn that passion into his own coaching practice. Maggie and Chris discuss: The Pain Points of leaving a steady career to start your own business Why a career path does not have to be linear Recognizing burnout before making a major career decision Why so many millennials are questioning traditional definitions of success Finding the areas of your life that are leaving you unfulfilled Balancing work, family, relationships, finances, and time for yourself Why getting a promotion does not always mean moving in the right direction Separating your definition of success from what others expect of you Making small, sustainable changes instead of impulsive decisions How career coaching can help turn a big goal into realistic next steps Why your priorities can change throughout different stages of life Finding fulfillment outside of your career through hobbies, volunteering, and relationships Chris also talks about something many professionals can probably relate to. You can have the career, family, paycheck, and life you thought you were supposed to want and still feel like something is missing. Instead of immediately quitting your job or making a drastic change, Chris encourages people to figure out where that feeling is actually coming from. Sometimes the answer is a new career. Sometimes it is a different role within the same company. Other times, work might not be the problem at all. You may simply need to make more room for the parts of life that make you feel like yourself again. For many people, the version of success they grew up expecting no longer matches the reality of their lives. Chris believes that is exactly why it is worth asking a simple question: What does success actually look like for you? Whether you are feeling burned out, considering a career change, chasing a promotion, or simply wondering what comes next, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on slowing down, asking better questions, and finding a path that fits the life you actually want.

Five years ago Dr. Sofi first joined Pac Talk. A lot has changed since — for her business, her body, and for Piet too. This episode is a full catch-up covering three big things: how to actually prevent ACL injuries in young athletes, why she's dedicating part of her career to training the next generation of physical therapists, and what it really looks like to balance being a business owner, physical therapist, gym owner, athlete, and wife all at once.Dr. Sofi runs Raw Performance in San Dimas, where roughly 60% of her caseload is kids. She breaks down what she's actually seeing in her clinic — the majority of ACL tears she treats come from soccer and flag football, roughly 75% in female athletes, driven by a combination of overtraining without recovery, inadequate strength training, and in some cases nutrition trends swinging back toward "skinny is better." She also gets into the research connecting hormonal fluctuations during ovulation to increased ligament laxity and ACL risk — an important, underdiscussed piece of the picture for parents of young female athletes.They tackle the biggest myth head-on: that lifting weights stunts a child's growth. It doesn't. Dr. Sofi trains kids as young as four, and the evidence is clear that properly supervised strength training builds resilient tendons, ligaments, and joints — the exact opposite of what old-school thinking assumed.Beyond the clinical side, this episode gets personal. Dr. Sofi opens up about teaching at Azusa Pacific to help train the next generation of PTs, training for the Chicago Marathon while running her own practice, learning to set boundaries with clients, and why choosing to do something that scares you — whether that's a marathon or standing in front of a room of grad students — is exactly what keeps you growing.This one's for parents of young athletes, for anyone juggling multiple roles and wondering how to do it without burning out, and for anyone who believes community and education are just as important as reps in the gym.

When cold weather arrives, many poultry keepers instinctively close their coops tightly to keep their chickens warm. Unfortunately, that can trap moisture, ammonia, and stale air—creating conditions far more dangerous than the cold itself.In this episode of PK360 LIVE, Rip Stalvey, Jeff Mattocks, Carey Blackmon, and Sue Dobson take a practical look at winter air quality and what poultry keepers can learn by observing their birds and the conditions inside their coops.The team discusses:• The difference between healthy ventilation and a harmful draft• Why dry birds generally tolerate cold temperatures remarkably well• How moisture and condensation accumulate inside winter housing• Why ammonia can harm chickens before people can smell it• How to calculate coop volume and choose an exhaust fan• Timed and forced-air ventilation• The connection between bedding, carbon, moisture, and ammonia• What respiratory behavior and feather condition may reveal• How stocking density and coop construction affect air quality• Common winter ventilation mistakes• The risks associated with supplemental heatGood winter management is not about creating human comfort inside a chicken coop. It is about protecting birds from direct weather while maintaining clean, dry, healthy air.Poultry Keepers 360 brings breeding, management, and nutrition together to help small-flock keepers understand their birds and make better-informed decisions.If you enjoy thoughtful, experience-based poultry information like this, that's what this channel is all about.Our sincere thanks to The Fertrell Company for sponsoring PK360 LIVE and supporting practical poultry education.TIMESTAMPS AND CHAPTERS0:00 Why winter air quality matters1:57 Cold temperatures versus moisture and wind3:07 Ventilation versus drafts4:35 Where an exhaust fan should be placed7:17 Calculating coop volume and fan runtime9:38 A mentor's cold-weather ventilation system14:30 Where winter moisture comes from16:08 Ammonia can cause harm before you smell it19:09 Bedding, carbon, and ammonia control21:02 Biochar, activated charcoal, and peat moss25:14 Should ventilation change with temperature?26:05 What birds reveal about poor air quality27:49 Feather condition, humidity, and dietary fat34:39 What a properly managed coop should smell like35:51 How chickens behave when they are truly cold37:32 Ventilating open-sided coops and barns40:35 A word from The Fertrell Company42:10 Stocking density and air quality43:19 Wooden coops versus metal construction47:26 Common winter ventilation mistakes48:52 Helping birds adjust to environmental changes50:26 Balancing weather protection and ventilation52:45 One change that can improve coop air quality54:25 Choosing breeds suited to the climate55:57 The risks of supplemental heat58:49 Final winter air-quality lessonsJoin our Facebook Groups:Poultry Keepers 360 - -  https://www.facebook.com/groups/354973752688125Poultry Breeders Nutrition - https://www.facebook.com/groups/4908798409211973

After eight months off, the trio checks in about the real struggles of life — work, kids' sports, distance and how it's affected their non-monogamous dynamic. They talk candidly about communication lapses, sexual fulfillment, and the pressure that falls on one partner to keep everyone's emotional and physical cups full. They also share a steamy reconnection at a club (yes, picnic-table play during a thunderstorm), reconnecting in a hotel, and plans to be more intentional moving forward — from hotel takeovers to playing with trusted friends and finding a better balance between relationship and lifestyle.

Micah Davis has more experience with forgiveness than he probably ever wanted to have. The hurtful words spoken over him as a child that stuck with him throughout adolescence, the betrayals by both his father and his godfather, the family secrets that only came to light years later—all of them forced Micah to confront emotional pain at a relatively early age and weigh the cost of reconciliation.Now a pastor and writer based in Indianapolis, Micah has determined that forgiveness, for all its complexity and messiness, is worth it—and he's expounded on that topic in several books, as well as this week's episode of The Redeemed Man. Micah and Nate Dewberry unpack the calculus of forgiveness and how admitting our pain is a necessary step in the process; they also discuss the lessons Scripture offers in healing from hurtful words, the challenges of leadership, and how fatherhood can upend the things we think we know about ourselves. Nearly every man, regardless of their age or background, will find something they can relate to in Micah's life experience—and find wisdom in his insights.Segments/chapters0:00 Intro/The negative words that stuck with Micah for many years4:27 Hearing the Holy Spirit after a season of depression and disillusionment9:41 How we can heal the wounds that hurtful words inflict17:20 Micah looks back on the past 10 years since returning to the church23:16 How Micah's perspective has changed since becoming a dad28:26 Thoughts on forgiveness, and why Micah wrote a book about it36:10 We can't forgive until we're willing to honestly express our pain43:11 Balancing leadership responsibilities with the need for human connectionFind community, deepen your faith, join the brotherhood for free today at theredeemed.com/join.Visit The Redeemed's website for downloadable discussion question sets,  show notes, inspirational articles, more resources, or to share your testimony.Join our Exclusive Newsletter: Signup today and be the first to get notified on upcoming podcasts and new resources!The Redeemed is an organization giving men from all backgrounds a supportive, judgment-free environment, grounded in Christian love without demanding participation in any faith tradition, where they can open up about their challenges, worries, and failures—and celebrate their triumphs over those struggles.Starting Point: https://theredeemed.com/spJoin the Community: https://theredeemed.com/jointrHave a redemption story?

An argument about flock cameras spirals into a full federal budget rebuild — 30% off the military, a corporate tax hike, and a surprisingly confident case for striking first with nukes.

How can leaders use data to make better decisions and drive real change? In this episode, Kevin talks with Sebastian Wernicke about why so many organizations invest heavily in data and AI yet still struggle to achieve breakthrough results. Sebastian explains the difference between being data-driven, data-frustrated, and data-inspired. He believes that data should not only confirm and optimize what organizations already do but also challenge assumptions, reveal unexpected possibilities, and inspire new directions. They explore common myths about data, including the belief that it is always objective, that deeper analysis will automatically reveal the right answer, and that complex decisions can be reduced to a simple yes or no. Sebastian also shares why leaders must balance depth with decisiveness and become more comfortable with uncertainty and probability. They also discuss the opportunities and risks of AI, particularly its tendency to fill in gaps and generate appealing answers based on hidden assumptions. About Sebastian Wernicke Sebastian Wernicke, Ph.D., is the author of Data Inspired: Building an Organizational Culture of Inquiry for Lasting Transformation. He is a partner at Oxera Consulting, one of Europe's oldest economics and finance consultancies, where he leads the data science and AI practice. Sebastian is a leading expert in data and AI strategy and a former Chief Data Scientist. For two decades, he has guided organizations around the world to achieve breakthrough transformation through the power of data. His ability to make complex topics around data accessible, engaging, and actionable has made Sebastian a sought-after speaker and workshop facilitator. His three acclaimed TED Talks have reached over 5 million viewers. For more information, follow Sebastian Wernicke on LinkedIn or visit www.datainspired.org.

Family life is full of competing needs, responsibilities, and relationships. And sometimes there isn't one obvious "right" answer. Summary In this listener questions episode, Mike, Alicia, and Katie tackle some of the complicated situations real families are facing: What should a mom do when her teenage son starts turning to Dad instead of her? How do you discern where your family should live? Should you move if your spouse is unhappy but your children are thriving? How do you honor your parents while putting your spouse first? They also discuss life with a large family in a small house, sibling bickering, extracurriculars, protecting family dinners, and caring for aging parents from far away. Through all of these questions runs one important truth: you can't eliminate every tension or make everyone happy. The goal is to discern what God is asking of you, protect the unity of your marriage, and confidently lead the family He has entrusted to you. **In this episode:** Connecting with teenage sons as their relationship with Dad changes * Discerning where God is calling your family to live * Balancing the needs of your spouse and children * "Leaving and cleaving" while still honoring your parents * Making small spaces work for large families * Handling sibling bickering and extracurricular overload * Protecting family time in the middle of sports and activities * Loving and caring for aging parents from a distance For more information on this and other topics visit: https://www.messyfamilyproject.org/

Hashimoto's, thyroid dysfunction, and hormone imbalance — Sophie Shepherd, founder of She Talks Health and host of the She Talks Health Podcast, joins Freddie Kimmel to break down why "balancing your hormones" is usually the wrong starting point. A Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner who works primarily with women navigating Hashimoto's, thyroid issues, and mystery symptoms like fatigue, bloating, anxiety, and brain fog, Sophie shares her own decade-long health story — from unexplained teenage digestive pain to a hypothyroid diagnosis dismissed as "normal labs" — and the path that led her out of theater and into functional medicine. The conversation covers hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) testing, why mineral balancing (especially copper, zinc, and manganese) can restore fertility and regulate cycles without directly touching hormones, the limits of hormone panels like the Dutch test for irregular cycles, and why chronic stress — emotional, physical, and environmental — is the upstream driver hiding behind most "hormone problems." Sophie and Freddie also get into red light therapy for thyroid inflammation, an honest take on cold plunging for women with Hashimoto's, subconscious rewiring tools like the quantum time technique, and a candid conversation about trust, bio-individuality, and the sponsorship-driven infighting in the health influencer space.
