My wife doesn't want to sleep train him because she fears the bond between her and him will be negatively impacted but she hasn't had a full nights rest in 6+ months.

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. **Christopher S. Penn – 00:00** In this week’s In Ear Insights. Even though AI is everywhere and is threatening to eat everything and stuff like that, the reality is that people still largely buy from people. And there are certainly things that AI does that can make that process faster and easier. But today I thought it might be good to review some of the basic selling frameworks, particularly for companies like ours, but in general, to help with complex sales. One of the things that—and Katie, I’d like your take on this—one of the things that people do most wrong in sales at the very outset is they segment out B2B versus B2C when they really should be segmenting out: simple sale versus complex sales. Simple sales, a pack of gum, there are techniques for increasing number of sales, but it’s a transaction. **Christopher S. Penn – 00:48** You walk into the store, you put down your money, you walk out with your pack of gum as opposed to a complex sale. Things like B2B SaaS software, some versions of it, or consulting services, or buying a house or a college education where there’s a lot of stakeholders, a lot of negotiation, and things like that. So when you think about selling, particularly as the CEO of Trust Insights who wants to sell more stuff, what do you think about advising people on how to sell better? **Katie Robbert – 01:19** Well, I should probably start with the disclaimer that I am not a trained salesperson. I happen to be very good with people and reading the situation and helping understand the pain points and needs pretty quickly. So that’s what I’ve always personally relied on in terms of how to sell things. And that’s not something that I can easily teach. So to your point, there needs to be some kind of a framework. I disagree with your opening statement that the biggest problem people have with selling or the biggest mistake that people make is the segmentation. I agree with simple versus complex, but I do think that there is something to be said about B2B versus B2C. You really have to start somewhere. **Katie Robbert – 02:08** And I think perhaps maybe if I back up even more, the advice that I would give is: Do you really know who you’re selling to? We’re all eager to close more business and make sure that the revenue numbers are going up and not down and that the pipeline is full. The way to do that—and again, I’m not a trained salesperson, so this is my approach—is I first want to make sure I’m super clear on our ideal customer profile, what their pain points are, and that we’re super clear on our own messaging so that we know that the services that we offer are matching the pain points of the customers that we want to have in our pipeline. When we started Trust Insights, we didn’t have that. **Katie Robbert – 02:59** We had a good sense of what we could do, what we were capable of, but at the same time were winging it. I think that over the past eight or so years we’ve learned a lot around how to focus and refine. It’s a crowded marketplace for anyone these days. Anyone who says they don’t really have competitors isn’t really looking that hard enough. But the competitors aren’t traditional competitors anymore. Competitors are time, competitors are resources, competitors are budget. Those are the reasons why you’re going to lose business. So if you have a sales team that’s trying to bring in more business, you need to make sure that you’re super hyper focused. So the long-winded way of saying the first place I would start is: Are you very specifically clear on who your ideal customer is? **Katie Robbert – 03:53** And are there different versions of that? Do they buy different things based on the different services that you offer? So as a non-salesperson who is forced to do sales, that’s where I. **Christopher S. Penn – 04:04** would start. That’s a good place to start. One of the things, and there’s a whole industry for this of selling, is all these different selling frameworks. You will hear some of them: SPIN selling, Solution Selling, Insight Selling, Challenger, Sandler, Hopkins, etc. It’s probably not a bad age to at least review them in aggregate because they’re all very similar. What differentiates them are specific tactics or specific types of emphasis. But they all follow the same Kennedy sales principles from the 1960s, which is: identify the problem, agitate the customer in some way so that they realize that the problem is a bigger problem than they thought, provide a solution of some point, a way, and then tell them, “Here’s how we solve this problem. Buy our stuff.” That’s the basic outline. **Christopher S. Penn – 05:05** Each of the systems has its own thin slice on how we do that better. So let’s do a very quick tour, and I’m going to be showing some stuff. If you’re listening to this, you can of course catch us on the Trust Insights YouTube channel. Go to Trust Insights.AI/YouTube. The first one is Solution Selling. This is from the 1990s. This is a very popular system. Again, look for people who actually have a problem you can fix. Two is get to know the audience. Three is the discovery process where you spend a lot of time consulting and asking the person what their challenges are. **Christopher S. Penn – 05:48** Figure out how you can add value to that, find an internal champion that can help get you inside the organization, and then build the closing win. So that’s Solution Selling. This one has been in use for almost 40 years in places, and for complex sales, it is highly effective. **Katie Robbert – 06:10** Okay. What’s interesting, though, is to your point, all the frameworks are roughly the same: give people what they need, bottom line. If you want to break it down into 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 different steps because that’s easier for people to wrap their brains around, that’s totally fine. But really, it comes down to: What problems do they have? Can you solve the problem? Help them solve the problem, period. I feel, and I know we’re going to go through the other frameworks, so I’ll save my rant for afterwards. **Christopher S. Penn – 06:47** SPIN Selling, again, is very similar to the Kennedy system: Understand the situation, reveal the pain points, create urgency for change, and then lead the buyers to conclude on their own. This one spends less time on identifying the customers themselves. It assumes that your prospecting and your lead flow engine is separate and working. It is much more focused on the sales process itself. If you think about selling, you have business development representatives or sales development representatives (SDRs) up front who are smiling and dialing, calling for appointments and things like that, trying to fill a pipeline up front. Then you have account executives and actual sales folks who would be taking those warmed-up leads and working them. SPIN Selling very much focuses on the latter half of that particular process. The next one is Insight Selling. Insight Selling is a. **Christopher S. Penn – 07:44** It is differentiated by the fact that it tries to make the sales process much more granular: coaching the customer, communicating value, collaborating, accelerating commitment, implementing by cultivating the relationship, and changing the insight. The big thing about Insight Selling is that instead of very long-winded conversations and lots of meetings and calls, the Insight Selling process tries to focus on how you can take the sales process and turn it into bite-sized chunks for today’s short attention span audience. So you set up sales automation systems like Salesforce or marketing automation, but very much targeted towards the sales process to target each of these areas to say, what unusual insight can I offer a customer in this email or this text message, whatever essentially keeps them engaged. **Christopher S. Penn – 08:40** So it’s very much a sales engagement system, which I think. **Katie Robbert – 08:45** Makes sense because on a previous episode we were talking about client services, and if your account managers or whoever’s responsible for that relationship is saying only “just following up” and not giving any more context, I would ignore that. Following up on what? You have to remind me because now you’ve given me more work to do. I like this version of Insight Selling where it’s, “Hey, I know we haven’t chatted in a while, here’s something new, here’s something interesting that’s pertaining to you specifically.” It’s more work on the sales side, which quite honestly, it should be. Exactly. **Christopher S. Penn – 09:25** Insight Selling benefits most from a shop that is data-driven because you have to generate new insights, you have to provide things that are surprising, different takes on things, and non-obvious knowledge. To do that, you need to be plugged into what’s going on in your industry. If you don’t do that, then obviously your insights will land with a thud because your prospects will be, “Yeah, I already knew that. Tell me something I don’t know.” The Sandler Selling System is again very straightforward: Bonding, rapport, upfront contracts, which is the unique thing. They are saying be very structured in your sales process to try to avoid wasting people’s time. So every meeting should have a clear agenda that you’re going to cover in advance. Every meeting should have a purpose: uncovering pain points, finding budget. **Christopher S. Penn – 10:19** Budget is a distinctly separate step to say, “Can you even pay for our services?” If you can’t pay for our services, there’s no point in us going on to have this conversation. Then decision making, fulfillment, and post-sale. The last one, which probably is the most well known today, is the Challenger Sales Methodology. Challenger is what everybody promotes when you go to a sales event. It has been around for about 10 years now, and it is optimized for the complex sale. The six steps of Challenger are: warming, which is again rapport building; reframing the customer’s problem in a way that they didn’t know. **Christopher S. Penn – 11:05** So they borrowed from Insight Selling to say, “How can we use data and research to alter the way that somebody thinks about their problems into something that is more urgent?” Then you take them into rational drowning: Here’s what happens if you don’t do the thing, which addresses the number one competitor that most of us have, which is no decision, emotional impact. What happens if you don’t do the thing? Here’s a new way of doing the thing, and then of course, our way, and you try to close the sale. Challenger is probably again the one that you see the most these days. It incorporates chunks of the other systems, but all the different systems are appropriate based on your team. **Christopher S. Penn – 11:51** And that’s the part that a lot of people I think miss about sales methodologies: there isn’t a guaranteed working system. There are different systems that you choose from based on your team’s capabilities, who your customers are, and what works best for that combination of people. **Katie Robbert – 12:14** I’m going to say something completely out of character. I think frameworks are too rigid. That’s not something that you would normally catch me saying because generally I say I have a framework for that. But when it comes to sales, the thing that strikes me with all of these frameworks is it’s too focused on the salesperson and not focused enough on the customer that they’re selling to. You could argue that maybe the Insight Selling framework is focused a little bit more on the customer. But really, the end goal is to make money off of someone who may or may not need to be buying your stuff. Sales has always given me the ick. I get that it’s a necessary evil, but then—I don’t know—the. **Katie Robbert – 13:11** The thought of going in with a framework, and this is exactly how you’re going to do it. I can understand the value in doing that because you want people doing things in a fairly consistent way. But you’re selling to humans. I feel like that’s where it gets a little bit tricky. I feel like in order for me—and again, I’m an N of 1, I recognize this all the time, this is my own personal feelings on things—in order to feel comfortable with selling, I feel like there really needs to be trust. There needs to be a relationship that’s established. But it also comes down to what are you selling? Is it transactional? If I’m selling you a pack of gum, I don’t need to build trust and relationship. You have a clear need. **Katie Robbert – 13:55** You have stinky breath, you want to get some gum, you want to chew on it, that’s fine, go buy it. You and I don’t need to have a long interaction. But when you’re talking about the type of work that we do—customer service, consulting, marketing—there needs to be that level of trust and there needs to be that relationship. A lot of times it starts even before you get into these goofy sales frameworks, where someone saw one of us speaking on stage and they saw that we have authority. They see that we can speak articulately, maybe not right that second in an articulate way. They see that we are competent, and they’re like, “Huh, okay, that’s somebody that I could see myself working with, partnering with.” **Katie Robbert – 14:43** That kind of information isn’t covered in any of those frameworks: the trust building, the relationship building. It might be a little nugget at the beginning of your sales framework, but then the other 90% of the framework is about you, the salesperson, what you’re going to get out of your potential customer. I feel like that is especially true now where there’s so much spammy stuff and AI stuff. We’re getting inundated with email after email of, “Did you see my last email? I know you’re not even signed up for my thing, but I’m still trying to sell you something.” We’re so overwhelmed as consumers. Where is that human touch? It’s gone. It’s missing. **Christopher S. Penn – 15:29** So you’re 100% correct. The sales frameworks are targeted towards getting a salesperson to do things in a standardized manner and to cover all the bases. One of the things that has been a perpetual problem in sales management is, “What is this person not doing that should be moving the deal forward?” So for example, with Challenger, if a salesperson’s really good at emotional impact—they have good levels of empathy—they can say, “Yeah, this challenge is really important to your business,” but they’re bad at the reframe. They won’t get the prospect to that stage where their skills are best used. So I think you’re right that it’s too rigid and too self-centered in some respects. **Christopher S. Penn – 16:17** But in other respects, if you’re trying to get a person to do the thing, having the framework to say, “Yeah, you need to work on your reframing skills. Your reframing skills are lackluster. You’re not getting the prospects past this point because you’re not telling them anything they don’t already know.” When you don’t have a differentiator, then they fall back on, “Who’s the lowest price?” That doesn’t end well, particularly for complex sales. What is missing, which you identified exactly correctly, is there is no buyer-side sales framework. What is happening with the buyer? You see this in things like our ideal customer profiles. We have needs, pain points, goals, motivations in the buying process as part of that, to say what is happening. **Christopher S. Penn – 17:03** So if you were to take Challenger—and we’ve actually done this and I need to publish it at some point—what would the buyer’s perspective of Challenger be? If the salesperson said, “Build rapport,” the buyer side is, “Why should I trust this person?” If the seller side is “reframe,” the buyer side is, “Do I understand the problems I have? And does the salesperson understand the problems that I have? I don’t care about new insights. Solve my problem.” If the seller side is rational drowning, the buyer side is, “What is working? What isn’t working?” Emotional impact is where they do align, because if you have a whole bunch of stuff that’s not working, it has emotional impact. “New way” from the seller side becomes, for the buyer side, “Why is this better?” **Christopher S. Penn – 17:59** Why is this better than what we’re already doing? And then our solution versus the existing solution, which is typically, again, our number one sales competitor is no decision. One of the things that does not exist or should exist is using—and this is where AI could be really helpful—an ideal customer profile combined with a buyer-side buying framework to say, “Hey salesperson, you may be using this framework for your selling, but you’re not meeting the buyer where they are.” **Katie Robbert – 18:35** I also wonder, too. We often talk about how the customer journey is broken in a way because there’s an assumption that it’s linear, that it goes from step one to step two to step three to step four. I look at something like the Challenger framework and my first thought is, “Well, that’s assuming that things go in a linear and then this and then this fashion.” What we know from a customer journey, which to your point we need to marry to the selling journey, is it’s not always linear. It doesn’t always go step one to step two to step three. I may be ready for a solution, and my salesperson who’s trying to sell me something is, “Wait a second, we need to go through the first four steps first because that’s how the framework works.” **Katie Robbert – 19:24** And then we’ll get to your solution. I’m already going to get frustrated because I’m thinking, “No, I already know what the thing is. I don’t want to go through this emotional journey with you. I don’t even know you. Just sell me something.” I feel like that’s also where, in this context, frameworks are too rigid. Again, I’m all for a framework in terms of getting people to do things in a consistent way so you build that muscle memory. They know the points they’re supposed to hit. Then you need to give them the leeway to do things out of order because humans don’t do things in a linear way every single time as well. **Katie Robbert – 20:03** I think that’s what I was trying to get at: it’s not that I don’t think a framework is good for sales. I think frameworks are great, I love them. But every framework has to have just enough flexibility to work with the situation. Because very rarely, if ever, is a situation set up perfectly so that you can execute a framework exactly the way that it’s meant to be run. That’s one of the challenges I see with the sales framework: there’s an assumption that the buyer is going through all of these steps exactly as it’s outlined. And when you train someone on a framework to only follow those steps exactly in that order, that’s when, to your point, they start to fall down on certain pieces because they’re not adaptable. They can’t. **Katie Robbert – 20:52** Well, no, we’ve already done the self-awareness part of it. I can’t go backwards and do that again. We did that already. I’m ready to sell you something. I feel like that’s where the frustration starts 100%. **Christopher S. Penn – 21:04** So in that particular scenario, what we almost need to teach people is it’s the martial arts. There’s this expression: learn the basic, vary the basic, leave the basic behind. You learn how to do the thing so that you can actually do the thing, learn all the different variations, and eventually you transcend it. You don’t need that example anymore because you’ve learned it so thoroughly. You can pull out the pieces that you need at any given time, but to get to that black belt level of mastery, you need to go through all the other belts first. I think that’s where some of the frameworks can be useful. Whereas, to your point, if you rigidly lock people into that, then yeah, they’re going to use the wrong tool at the wrong time. **Christopher S. Penn – 21:49** The other thing—and this is something which is very challenging, but important—is if your sales team is properly trained and enabled, the incentive structure for a salesperson is to sell you something. There may be situations—we’ve run into plenty of them as principals of the company—where we’ve got nothing to sell you. There’s nothing that will fix your problem. Your problem is something that’s outside the scope of what we offer. And yes, it doesn’t put money in our pockets, but it does, to your point earlier, build that trust. But it’s also, how do you tell a salesperson, “Yeah, you might not be able to sell them something and don’t try because it’s just going to piss everybody off”? **Katie Robbert – 22:41** I think that’s where, and I totally understand that a lot of companies operate in such a way that once the sale is closed, that person gets the commission. Again, N of 1, this is the way that I would do it. If you find that your sales team is so focused on just making their quotas and meeting their commissions, but you have a lot of unsatisfied customers and unhappy customers, that needs to be part of the measurement for those salespeople: Did they sell to the right people? Is the person satisfied with the sale? Did they get something that they actually needed? Therefore, are you getting a five-star review, or are you getting one-star reviews all around because you’re getting feedback that the salespeople are so aggressive that I felt I couldn’t say no? **Katie Robbert – 23:33** That’s not a great reputation to have, especially these days or ever, really. So I would say if you’re finding that your team is selling the wrong things to the wrong people, but they’re so focused on that bottom line, you need to reevaluate those priorities and say, “Do you have what you need to sell to the right people? Do you know who the right people are?” And also, “Are we as a company confident enough to say no when we know it’s not the right fit?” Because that is a differentiator. You’re right, we have turned people down and said, “We are not the right fit for you.” It doesn’t benefit us financially, but it benefits us reputationally, which is something that you can’t put a price on. **Christopher S. Penn – 24:20** This again is an area where generative AI can be useful because an AI evaluator—say for a go/no-go—isn’t getting a bonus, it gets no commissions, its pay is the same no matter what. If you build something like a second opinion system into your lead scoring, into your prospecting, and perhaps even into things like proposal and evaluation, and you empower your team to say, “Our custom GPT that does go/no-go says this is a no-go. Let’s not pursue this because we’re not going to win it.” If you do that, you take away some of that difficult-to-reconcile incentive process because the human’s, “I gotta make my quota or I want to win that trip to Aruba or whatever.” **Christopher S. Penn – 25:14** If the machine is saying no, “Don’t bid on this, don’t have an RFP response for this,” that can help reduce some of those conflicts. **Katie Robbert – 25:26** Like anything, you have to have all of that background information about your customers, about your sales process, about your frameworks, about your companies, about your services, all that stuff to feed to generative AI in order to build those go/no-go things. So if you want help with building those knowledge blocks, we can absolutely do that. Go to Trust Insights.AI/contact. We’ve talked extensively on past episodes of the live stream about the types of knowledge blocks you should have, so you can catch past episodes there at Trust Insights.AI/YouTube. Go to the “So What” playlist. It all starts with knowledge blocks. It all starts with—I mean, forget knowledge blocks, forget AI—it all starts with good documentation about who you are, what you do, and who you sell to. **Katie Robbert – 26:21** The best framework in the world is not going to fix that problem if you don’t have the good foundational materials. Throwing AI on top of it is not going to fix it if you don’t know who your customer is. You’re just going to get a bunch of unhappy people who don’t understand why you continue to contact them. Yep. **Christopher S. Penn – 26:38** As with everything, AI amplifies what’s already there. So if you’re already doing a bad job, it’s going to help you do a worse job. It’ll do a worse job. **Katie Robbert – 26:45** Much new tech doesn’t solve old problems, man. **Christopher S. Penn – 26:49** Exactly.

Discover how to consciously invite a soul into form, align partner energy, raise vibration, and reclaim the true history of human creation. In this raw, profound interview Michelle Vickers guides Marc & Lara through a sacred ceremony of conception and reveals universal communication tools that unlock your highest purpose during conception. In Episode 153 of The Authentic Human Podcast, host Michelle Vickers invites truth-seekers into a powerful exploration of conscious conception, unveiling the hidden truth of creation, universal communication, and human origins. Michelle connects Marc and Lara with their souls and universal Beings who explain the original process of conscious conception. Exploring how to prepare your mind, body and soul to participate in this Sacred ritual. We explore how to open the space for a soul to incarnate into human form, creating quantum field of vibration that invites the soul of your child to join you in sacred partnership and connection. But first both parents must prepare mentally, emotionally and vibrationally. Our conversation explains how to prepare and what to expect when you participate in conscious conception. You'll learn: • What it means to invite a soul and how to communicate with that soul before conception. • Why abstaining from physical intimacy can build an explosive energetic union at the right time. • How to practice intimacy in ways that bypass the culture of fast sex and rediscover deeper connection. • The ceremony of receiving love and blessings from family, ancestors and future lines of generations. • How conception, gestation and birthing are deeply driven by the soul you are inviting—and what shifts when you surrender to that truth. • The role of partner energy (especially father/protector roles) and how the baby absorbs every bit of your combined vibration in utero. • The elevated sensitivity you will experience when you raise your vibration, move into conscious awareness and stay aligned with what feels right and what doesn't. If you've been asking “What am I missing?” — this episode is your invitation to step out of the old system that has manipulated human potential for tens of thousands of years, and reclaim your true origins, your higher calling, and your right to participate fully in existence. Michelle Vickers' research brings the most advanced scientific and spiritual discoveries into accessible language so you can trust in what you're receiving: truth direct from the source. If you're seeking ultimate knowledge of human origin, universal creation, and your soul's reason for being here—this is the conversation for you. Don't forget to like, comment and share if this speaks to your heart-awakening journey—so we can reach every single person who is searching for truth, remembering who they are and stepping into their greatest possible life. 00:00 Intro: Meeting Marc & Lara and their journey to higher creation 03:21 The soul chooses: How Michelle connects to the incoming soul 04:46 Setting the date: Why Oct 4th-5th was chosen for conception 06:27 Conscious conception invites next-level souls 07:39 Bonding deeply: Preparing as partners at a new level of awareness 09:53 The energy build-up: Abstaining physical acts before date 11:31 Energy language replaces words in true conception 13:00 Practices for deep intimacy beyond physical touch 14:32 Feeling seen & heard: Foundation for conscious relationships 15:28 Why do you want this child – and what will you bring to them? 16:41 Self-discovery through your partner & incoming soul 17:02 Culture's fast-sex trap vs sacred joining 20:00 Intention list: Baby gifts, family lines & ancestors 24:00 Involving family & friends: Blessings for your soul's arrival 30:45 It's happening: From two to three — new energetic reality

Send us a textThe floor in Phoenix was packed, and so were the ideas. We sat down with innovators across the stack—equipment makers, metrology experts, logistics strategists, and software leaders—to map the real state of advanced packaging and what it takes to build, measure, move, and power tomorrow's chips.EV Group kicked things off with a candid look at die-to-wafer realities: activation on film frame, then 100% overlay metrology that measures tens of thousands of points per hour so every die and corner is verified. They also unveiled LithoScale XT, a fully digital, maskless lithography system printing 300 mm at 60 wph—perfect for massive AI dies and fast design turns. Lab14 widened the frame with a portfolio approach: direct-write lithography, single-wafer processing, data prep, and analysis tools working as a coordinated line, with data sharing and AI feedback baked in.Resilience and regionalization came to life through Kuehne+Nagel's on-the-ground view: supplier clustering near fabs, cross-border trucking, time-critical services, and 4PL integration that gives real-time visibility and smarter capacity planning. ERS showed where throughput meets cost: photothermal debonding with lower stress and reusable glass carriers, demo centers in Taiwan (and planned in North America), plus surge demand for warpage repair as volumes rise.Process control is moving into packaging with front-end rigor. Nova detailed metrology for hybrid bonding, chemistry monitoring of plating baths, X-ray and XPS/SIMS material insights, and the handling know-how to measure framed wafers and panels reliably. Nordson Test & Inspection highlighted AI-driven inspection, ultra-fast acoustic scanning, automated X-ray metrology, and sensor wafers that cut tool downtime and sharpen process windows. Comet showcased its CT and CA20 upgrades for 3D IC and TSV analysis.Power dominated the later conversations. Siemens argued we need to design for energy from the chip through the blade, rack, and data center, simulating real workloads and cooling to slash gigawatts—then extend that thinking into the fab, where optimizing chillers and facilities already saves serious money. Onto Innovation brought it home with execution: the PACE Center now hosts partners' tools, accelerating experiments for glass, TGV, and panel processes without waiting on public funds.If you care about hybrid bonding, maskless lithography, CT for 3D ICs, panel-scale packaging, or cutting AI's energy bill, this one is dense with takeaways and hard truths. Subscribe, share with a colleague who lives in the fab or data center, and leave a review telling us which insight you'll act on first.Support the show

In this episode of Unexpected Turns, host Laura Wilcox has a conversation with Madison, who recalls her worst day ever as a high school student years ago. On the same day, Madison experiences a breakup with her boyfriend, the discovery of a terrible rumor circulating in school about her, and a grade that falls well below the perfectionistic standards she places upon herself. At the end of this terrible day, Madison comes home, refuses to eat dinner, and buries herself deep under her covers to pour out her complaints to God.As Madison cries out to God about the disconnect that she feels between God's promises and her current reality, an increasingly loud thunderstorm rages outside her bedside window. Expressing her anger and sorrow over her day, she finally tells God she has no intention of ever going back to school or even leaving her bed. At that moment, the cacophony of the wild thunderstorm suddenly and completely stops. She realizes just as suddenly that God is present and has never left her alone. As her perspective shifts, Madison begins to pray in a different way, and the rain begins falling softly again. God reminds her that evening and in the following days back at school that he is close and constant. As she faces the situations that devastated her on that horrible day, she slowly learns to find her security, identity, and worth in God's love, instead of in uncertain and unsteady circumstances.When Madison's story, High School Hope, was released on the Sacred Story website, Madison shared it with her current friends. Conversations about the challenges of high school followed, and Madison found those friendships growing closer. Bonding between women often occurs when they share how difficult experiences have led to deeper faith. Schedule a Sacred Story Retreat for your women's group to experience the power of sharing stories.

In 2024, Sydney resident Nikhil Kulkarni describes it as a landmark year, defined by his strong involvement in cricket and community work. He strengthened his bond with his daughter through the nine-week Daughters and Dads Cricket Program, while also advancing Australia–India collaboration as part of the Australia India Youth Dialogue.

Tell us about your Adventure!This past summer, 25 out of 29 of my cousins on my Mother's side  gathered in the beautiful family resort of Bertelson Corner out side of Bemidji, Minnesota, for a reunion that will be etched in our memories forever. The sun shone brightly, and laughter filled the air, creating the perfect backdrop for 5 days of fun, games, and family bonding. The excitement was palpable as cousins arrived from nearby states and even farther locations, each bringing unique stories and experiences. It was heartwarming to reconnect, reminisce about childhood adventures, and share updates about our lives. This gathering served as a powerful reminder of the strong family ties that bind us together.

It's time for... grief! TNG's The Bonding has come up, which does mean we are talking A Lot about a dead mom. Sorry! We also talk about weird aliens and badly taking care of an orphan, so there's that.

In this episode of The Pulling Curls Podcast, hosts Hilary Erickson and Dr. Janene Fuerch, a neonatologist at Stanford, dive into what every pregnant family should know about the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). They discuss why it's important to understand NICU basics—even if you're planning a smooth delivery—and share practical tips on how to cope if your baby needs extra care, including ways to stay connected, manage stress, and support bonding. The episode also highlights exciting innovations aimed at making NICU stays safer and more comfortable for babies and families, plus insights on hospital levels and advocacy for neonatal advancements.   Big thanks to our sponsor Laborie -- LifeBubble® Umbilical Catheter Securement System LifeBubble is made of a Soft Medical Grade Silicone to minimize skin irritation, Reduces the Risk of Catheter Migration and Early Discontinuation, and Protects the Insertion Site of our most vulnerable patients.

The NICU can range from having just a couple of extra staff in the delivery room to having 15 people if a baby needs help, making the birth experience much more intense and involved. Planning ahead with your partner about who will go with the baby in case of separation can help make a stressful situation a little easier. About 10% of babies need some help breathing at birth, but most recover quickly; only a small percentage require NICU care beyond the basic interventions. NICUs are graded by levels (I-IV), and knowing what level your hospital offers can help families prepare—higher-level NICUs can treat more complex issues but aren't always necessary for uncomplicated births. If your hospital isn't a level III or IV, babies needing higher-level care may need to be transferred, which could mean temporary separation from parents; hospitals always work to reunite families as quickly as possible. NICU nurses are passionate, skilled, and deeply care about the babies and their families, creating a loving and safe environment even during stressful times. Parents can support their recovery and milk production by getting rest and using NICU technologies (like webcams) to stay connected—it's okay to take breaks and trust the NICU staff. Emerging technologies like Labry's Life Bubble are making NICU stays safer and more comfortable, allowing parents to hold their babies even when special catheters are in place. Skin-to-skin contact in the NICU is highly beneficial for both babies and parents, helping with bonding, milk production, and even neurodevelopment; parents are encouraged to ask staff about timing and any concerns about wires or tubes.

Send us a textYour postpartum clients aren't just "busy"—they're breaking down. Here's the truth your assessments are missing: The invisible mental load is a chronic state of cognitive overload that's hijacking her body. This isn't a failure of willpower; it's a physiological response to chronic stress that causes everything from unexplained anxiety and low milk supply to pelvic pain and insomnia. Maranda reveals how this unacknowledged cognitive burden triggers the HPA axis, shuts down nervous system regulation, and creates a cascade of physical symptoms. Every postpartum provider—from lactation consultants to functional health experts—must recognize this root cause. Stop treating the symptoms (the fatigue, the rage, the anxiety) and start addressing the overload. Learn the red flags and the Postpartum Restoration Method framework to deliver the lasting solutions your clients desperately need.Check out the episode on the blog HERE: https://postpartumu.com/podcast/the-invisible-mental-load-why-mothers-are-breaking-down-ep-238/Key time stamps: 1:03 -  Defining The Invisible Mental Load & The Shocking Case of Low Milk Supply3:33 - The Physiology of Cognitive Overload: HPA Axis and Systemic Effects6:53 - Clinical Patterns Providers Miss: The Hyper-Vigilant Manager, Overwhelmed Perfectionist, and Depleted Default Parent9:37 - Pelvic Floor Tension & The Bonding "Disconnection"22:15 - The Red Flags and "Better Questions" for Assessment NEXT STEPS:

Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.Question: My husband and I are in the process of adopting a waiting child internationally. This is our first adoption and we will soon be waiting to be matched with a child. I teach in higher education and my schedule is coordinated about nine months out. I am working with my supervisors to try and make sure my schedule for the next year is flexible to account for uncertain adoption timing. It has been so difficult to try and navigate this with my job, especially because my institution has very limited options for paid parental leave. I'm wondering if you have any insight into how to discuss a few of my questions with my employer:How to manage unpredictable adoption timelines that may require mid-semester leave on minimal notice,Explaining the necessity of time off work to bond with our new child, without the physical recovery needs that traditional birth includes, and That while teaching online is an option, balancing teaching online with international travel and a critical bonding period is very daunting. If you have any insight into how to discuss these topics with my employer, or any additional details I should be considering, I would love to hear your thoughts. I should say that my supervisors are very supportive and excited for my family, and they are open to creative solutions. These are just uncharted waters at my institution. I love listening to your podcast every week and my husband and I have learned so much from you all while we've been on our adoption journey!Resources:How Can I Get Paid Leave for My Adoption?The Movement Project: Relationship & Parental Recognition: State Family Leave Laws Center for Parental Leave LeadershipSupport the showPlease leave us a rating or review.

Strong friendships increase survival rates by about 50%, making them as important for your health as diet, exercise, or quitting smoking Oxytocin, often called the bonding hormone, determines who you trust and how quickly you form lasting connections When oxytocin signaling is disrupted, friendships take longer to form, feel weaker, and lose their emotional reward Research in animals shows that friendship is an evolved survival strategy found across many species, not just humans You can strengthen your own friendships by focusing on fewer, deeper connections, sharing rewarding experiences, and maintaining consistent contact

many markers had disappeared, and the water had risen high.Sv: "Vi får improvisera", föreslog Johan med ett leende när Sofie tittade förskräckt på kaoset.En: "We'll have to improvise," suggested Johan with a smile when Sofie looked horrified at the chaos.Sv: "Kanske kan vi göra det till en teamwork-övning att bygga banan från grunden tillsammans?"En: "Maybe we can turn it into a teamwork exercise to build the course from scratch together?"Sv: Sofie tvekade.En: Sofie hesitated.Sv: Listan i hennes hand kändes plötsligt meningslös.En: The list in her hand suddenly felt meaningless.Sv: Men det fanns ingen tid att tveka, och innan hon visste ordet av det, höll hon på att planera nya stationer med kollegorna – även ledda av Johan.En: But there was no time to hesitate, and before she knew it, she was planning new stations with her colleagues—even led by Johan.Sv: De började samla stenar, grenar och allt som kunde användas för att markera rutten.En: They began gathering stones, branches, and anything that could be used to mark the route.Sv: Det dröjde inte länge innan de alla skrattade och samarbetade, mer än någonsin.En: It didn't take long before they were all laughing and collaborating, more than ever.Sv: Det var under en särskilt knepig passage nära strandkanten som Johan tog initiativet och instruerade gruppen hur de skulle övervinna en glänta av hala stenar.En: It was during a particularly tricky passage near the water's edge that Johan took the initiative and instructed the group on how to overcome a clearing of slippery stones.Sv: "Små steg, och lita på varandra", hann han ropa innan alla klarade sig igenom utan en skråma.En: "Small steps, and trust each other," he managed to shout before everyone made it through without a scratch.Sv: När dagen gick mot sitt slut och solen började dala vid horisonten, satt Sofie och Johan på verandan och såg hur laget de arbetat så hårt för att stärka, belönades av en fantastisk gemenskap.En: As the day drew to a close and the sun began to set on the horizon, Sofie and Johan sat on the porch and watched as the team they had worked so hard to strengthen was rewarded with an amazing sense of community.Sv: "Jag uppskattar hur du hjälpte till idag", erkände Sofie och såg på Johan.En: "I appreciate how you helped today," Sofie acknowledged, looking at Johan.Sv: "Jag lärde mig verkligen något om flexibilitet."En: "I really learned something about flexibility."Sv: "Vi har alla något att bidra med", svarade Johan.En: "We all have something to contribute," Johan replied.Sv: "Jag inser nu fördelarna med att ha en plan att utgå från."En: "I now realize the benefits of having a plan to start from."Sv: De log mot varandra, och vinden förde med sig löftena om framtida samarbeten som skulle bli ännu starkare tack vare den balans de nu förstått vikten av.En: They smiled at each other, and the wind carried with it promises of future collaborations that would be even stronger thanks to the balance they now understood the importance of.

If you’re not navigating your life through your values, what are you using?

  https://stan.store/autumnacresminipetpigs/p/preparing-for-a-new-piglet                  In this episode of The Pet Pig Podcast, Autumn takes listeners on a thoughtful exploration of one of the most common yet most misunderstood piglet behaviors: rooting. We all know piglets root for food, for warmth, or just because it's instinct — but what if there's more happening beneath the surface? What if rooting is not just a survival behavior, but also a powerful tool for bonding, comfort, and brain development?          Autumn draws fascinating connections between piglets and human infants, showing how both species use rooting, nursing, and touch to regulate emotions, build trust, and shape healthy brain chemistry. From dopamine and oxytocin — the “feel-good” chemicals of bonding — to the way gentle handling, warmth, and predictability can impact a piglet's lifelong behavior, this episode sheds light on the deeper meaning behind those tiny snouts pushing into blankets, littermates, or even your lap.          Listeners will also hear why piglets who are pulled from their mothers too early sometimes grow up a little “off” — more anxious, more demanding, or more unsettled — and how this may be linked to missing out on the natural cycle of comfort and reward that rooting provides. Autumn discusses the importance of understanding rooting not as a “bad habit,” but as a window into a piglet's emotional world, much like a human baby's cry for closeness or the comfort they find in a pacifier.         This episode is a blend of science, observation, and heart — part educational deep dive, part reflection on the universal needs we all share for safety, love, and connection. Whether you're raising a piglet, preparing to bring one home, or simply curious about the hidden science of behavior, this conversation will give you a fresh appreciation for how much is happening in those early days of a pig's life.   Autumn's Links:  Website: https://www.autumnacresminipetpigs.com/ Email: https://stan.store/autumnacresminipetpigs Educational Membership Group: https://stan.store/autumnacresminipetpigs/p/autumn-acres-educational-membership-group Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/autumnacresminipetpigs/ Facebook:  HTTP://Facebook.com/autumnacresminipetpigs Free Community: https://stan.store/autumnacresminipetpigs/p/autumn-acres-free-community YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCGue5Kp5AwOXkReCGPUyImA Stan Store: https://stan.store/autumnacresminipetpigs Newsletter: https://stan.store/autumnacresminipetpigsb

In this episode, we talk about how God is at work in our lives even when sorrow feels overwhelming. This Jubilee year of hope is still a light for us, especially when we feel stuck, overwhelmed, or tempted to despair. We talk about the “fatigue of living”, what happens when we isolate ourselves, and why the micromovements of our hearts are so important. God has not guaranteed us an easy life, but He abundantly offers us Himself. With Him, we can encounter Jesus deeply, allow the Spirit to help us overcome our fears, and journey through this life with more hope than we thought possible.   Heather's One Thing - Join me on a pilgrimage to Denmark & Norway | August 3 - 12, 2026   Sister Miriam's One Thing - Into Your Hands, Father: Abandoning Ourselves to the God Who Loves Us by Father Wilfrid Stinissen Michelle's One Thing - I Will Come to You: A Story of Adoption and the Relentless Love of God by Jamie McAleer   Other Resources Mentioned:  Pope Leo XIV's Homily for Pentecost   Journal Questions: When did I last pour my heart out to the Lord? How have I been tempted to isolate myself? What distractions do I turn to in suffering? What heartbreaks have I been holding back from the Lord in prayer? Where am I feeling afraid?   Discussion Questions: Where in your life are you struggling to see the Lord? How has the Lord given you daily bread today? What lessons have you learned throughout the Jubilee Year of Hope? Where in your life are you waiting for a personal Pentecost? What resonated with you in Sister Miriam's prayer?   Quote to Ponder: “The Holy Spirit bestows understanding. The Spirit overcomes the ‘breach' that began in Babel, the confusion of mind and heart that sets us one against the other. The Spirit opens borders... The Church must always become anew what she already is. She must open the borders between peoples and break down the barriers between class and race. In her, there cannot be those who are neglected or disdained. In the Church there are only free men and women, brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ.” (Homily for Pentecost, 15 May 2005, Pope Benedict XVI)   Scripture for Lectio: “Daughter, your faith has saved you.
