In Part Two of our series on Charlotte of Belgium (Empress Carlota of Mexico)… we wish we had better news. When we last left our neglected princess, she and her husband, Archduke Maximilian of Austria, had been approached by Napoleon III and offered the crown of Mexico. Charlotte—starved for purpose and convinced this is her destiny—is all in. Max is less sure, but with the blessing of Pope Pius IX, the new Emperor and Empress set sail for Mexico. Where the dream immediately implodes. What follows is one of the most tragic and debated breakdowns in royal history—and the fall of the Second Mexican Empire. We also draw parallels to one of our classic Queens Podcast episodes on Juana of Castile, another queen labeled “mad” and locked away. If this story leaves you thinking about power, politics, and madness, you can revisit Juana's story here.

Big goals fail for simple reasons: they're fuzzy, they are not supported by consistent practice, and we forget to repeat what already works. We unpack a 3-question toolkit that turns foggy aspirations into clear, repeatable wins without demanding more willpower or a personality transplant.Along the way, we connect practice and fast feedback as the core loop of transformation, share concrete examples across health, writing, and workplace culture, and outline a simple rhythm to test, observe, and adjust each week.You'll learn how to define outcomes you can see, fix the constraint that truly slows you down, and standardize the conditions that already help you win. No hacks, no heroics—just systems that make the right action the easy action.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who's chasing a big goal, and leave a quick review so more curious minds can find us.Got a bright spot to share or a constraint you're fixing this week?

Who got next?Braswell High School might have the answer.In this episode of SportsLifeTalk – You Got Next (Savage Season), we sit down with Delilah “DJ” Jeffrey, a 6'0 multi-positional wing from Braswell High School in Little Elm, Texas, who is quietly building a reputation as one of the most versatile and high-motor players in the DFW area.DJ isn't just another scorer. She's the kind of player who takes pride in defense, embraces physicality, dives on the floor for loose balls, and brings an energy that impacts the game on both ends. Whether she's finishing through contact, knocking down perimeter shots, or blocking shots in transition, Delilah's game is rooted in discipline and work ethic.And that mindset shows.During this episode, Delilah opens up about:• Falling in love with basketball in elementary school• Growing into her 6'0 frame and embracing her identity as an all-around player• Why defense and hustle mean just as much as scoring• The sisterhood and culture inside the Braswell Lady Bengals program• How Pro Skills and Coach Dre helped elevate her competitive level• What it felt like to earn her first college offer (Alaska Anchorage)• Her long-term dream of playing college basketball — at any level — to earn her educationShe also shares one of her most recent “Mamba Moments,” including a 19-point performance against Duncanville and her growth as a shooter (including a 4-for-4 night from three).But this episode isn't just about basketball.Off the court, DJ is focused, driven, and already thinking about life beyond the game. She plans to pursue a career in pediatric cardiothoracic nursing — proving that her ambition extends far beyond the hardwood. Her discipline in basketball directly connects to her academic and career goals, and that maturity stands out.During the SLT Initiation, she also reveals:• Her Top 5 music artists (a mix of R&B and gospel vibes)• Why Spider-Man is her favorite superhero• The life lesson basketball has taught her about discipline and consistency• Her go-to restaurant order at Chili's• The deeper meaning behind her jersey numberWhat makes Delilah Jeffrey different is her balance. She's confident but grounded. Competitive but team-oriented. Driven but realistic about the work required to reach the next level.She understands that talent opens doors — but discipline keeps them open.As Braswell continues its push through district play, DJ is focused on growth, leadership, and helping her team compete at a high level. And as her recruitment continues to develop, she's clear on one thing:She's willing to work for everything.This is what Savage Season is about.If you're a fan of girls' high school basketball, DFW hoops, rising Class of 2027 prospects, or stories about athletes building their future the right way — this episode is for you.Tap in. Share with a coach. Send to a recruiter. And follow Delilah's journey as she continues to rise.Because at SportsLifeTalk…We don't just talk about the next generation.We introduce you to them.You Got Next.

Brandon Hogstad — a scientist, musician, big thinker, and co-host of a dream interpretation podcast — talks about how ADHD showed up in his adult academic life. As challenges emerged, finishing projects became a persistent struggle. A high school valedictorian, Brandon entered college with confidence and a strong academic track record. College didn't derail him. But it brought him down to earth. For the first time, he realized he'd never really learned how to study — and that raw intelligence only goes so far. The experience reshaped his ego and deepened his understanding of his ADHD brain. Brandon reflects on working with, not against, his ADHD. And the conversation turns when, right on the spot, he interprets a dream that host Laura Key shares.

Are you like me always asking yourself if we can just make things a little easier and a little less overwhelming? Life is hard enough! In this episode, I'm sharing how I actually plan my months and days as a business owner—without losing my sanity. I can't believe how much unnecessary pressure and hustle I used to put on myself.

If you're a new or aspiring female entrepreneur and feeling overwhelmed, this one's definitely for you! I'll show you how to get super clear on your priorities, set routines that actually feel good, and celebrate your wins—big or small.

Send us a textWeekly planning doesn't have to be complicated or rigid to be purposeful. At its core, it's simply a protected block of time where you slow down, look ahead, and decide how you want to steward the week you've been given.In this mini episode of the Habits Series, I'm talking about the habit of weekly planning and why it matters, especially if you already have a full life along with a God-shaped dream that hasn't had much room to breathe. I share how weekly planning has helped me move out of reactive mode, notice patterns in my days, and make small adjustments that create more clarity and margin over time.You'll hear what weekly planning looks like in my life, how to choose a rhythm that actually works for your season, and why consistency matters more than doing it perfectly. If you're tired of feeling scattered and reactive, this episode will help you see how one protected block of time for weekly planning can bring clarity, calm, and momentum. Get the Habit Tracker here: merrittonsa.com/habitsGet my $19 training where I walk you through how I do my weekly planning, including the planning worksheet that helped me finally make this a priority in my life!

Todd Chrisley opens up to Ian Bick about his upbringing, building a successful business, and raising his children while living in the public eye.

Todd shares how he survived behind bars, the lessons prison forced him to learn, and stories from inside that changed his perspective on life and family.

What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! Hi, it's me. Solo episode. No guest. No filter. I'm taking a season break from the podcast, and before you panic, this is not a breakup, it's a strategy. Life is lifing, my family has big changes happening, and Beautiful Beast Within Studios is growing into something bigger than I can keep duct-taping together with late nights and chaos. So I'm pausing weekly episodes for three months to build what actually supports you long-term, including the Resource Vault (aka the “stop scrolling at 11 p.m. trying to find that one guide” solution), keep our Friday YouTube anchor strong, and roll out bigger projects like Study with Kait, Cooking with Kait, and The History of Diets. I also share the full Big Dream for Beautiful Beast Within Studios: a future physical sanctuary with coaching, a joyful gym, a kitchen studio, sound and music studios, and a play space because healing is allowed to be fun. I'm still here, still coaching, still taking clients, with a mini check-in on February 18th and full episodes returning April 1st.As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.Music by Prymary: Sean Entrikin (my hot husband) on guitar, Chris Quirarte on drums, Smiley Sean on keyboards, Rob Young on bass, and Jaxon Duane on vocals.Mentions: Contribution Page: https://beautifulbeastwithinstudios.com/bbws-contribution-pageHow to Join the Newsletter: https://beautifulbeastwithinstudios.com/join-newsletterBook a FREE Exploration Chat: https://beautifulbeastwithinstudios.com/exploration-chat-schedulingWhere else can you find me?Linktree: https://linktr.ee/beautifulbeastwithinstudiosYour Input Can Change Lives!If you have ever felt stuck in diet cycles, body image spirals, or trying to “fix” your body and never feeling like it is enough, I would love to hear from you.I am collecting confidential stories and experiences about food, movement, and body image to create resources that actually support real humans, not diet culture.

This episode is a real-time, off-the-dome reflection on what it means to dream big when you actually have something to lose.I talk about being stuck between delusion and realism, manifesting when you're no longer in your 20s with nothing on the line, and how quitting my job cracked open a deeper conversation about safety, certainty, and trusting myself again. This isn't “new year, new me” energy — it's about building a life that supports your dreams and pays your bills.We get into vision boards, intentional manifesting, calculated risks, balancing ambition with stability, and why sometimes the growing season feels like being tried nonstop. If you're stepping into a new year feeling both hopeful and terrified, this episode is for you._FOLLOW LATINALY:⁠LATINALY ON INSTAGRAM⁠⁠LATINALY ON TIKTOK⁠⁠LATINALY ON FACEBOOK⁠Be on the next Signed, Kiah:⁠NGL LINK ⁠OR⁠KIAHBURGOS.COM/ASK⁠⁠LATINALY MERCH⁠ FOLLOW KIAH:⁠TIKTOK⁠⁠INSTAGRAM⁠
