In this week's episode, I'm joined by education expert Lizzie Assa to talk about independent play—why it matters, what it actually builds in kids, and how to make it work in real life. We break down the difference between independent play and ignoring your child, how to respond when kids say “I'm bored,” and simple ways to set up your home so play can happen more naturally. Lizzie shares practical strategies like play prompts, play pockets, and quiet time, along with reassurance for parents who feel guilty stepping back. This conversation is all about helping kids build confidence, resilience, and creativity—while giving parents a little more breathing room too.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

Sometimes a spreadsheet isn’t going to cut it. Sometimes the only thing standing between you and an impulse purchase is a genuinely unhinged obstacle, like freezing your credit card in a bowl of water and letting time do the work. And because our first Unhinged Hacks episode became one of the most replayed of the year, Bec took that as a sign, went rogue, booked the studio, brought Jess along, and recorded round two with absolutely no supervision. TThis episode sounds ridiculous on purpose. But underneath the laughs is something genuinely smart. These are the money behaviours people actually use when discipline is gone, motivation is fried, and “just try harder” is not on the menu. It’s diabolical. It’s chaotic. And somehow… it works.

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/48ZUDcG The Importance of Embracing Boredom In this episode of the Thoughts and Money Podcast, host Trevor Cummings and guest Blaine Carver discuss the insights from Blaine's recent blog article titled 'You Need to Be Bored.' They explore how constant stimulation from technology can detract from addressing meaningful, big-picture financial questions, and how creating moments of boredom can lead to better financial decisions. The conversation also covers the pitfalls of making impulsive investment decisions and highlights the importance of having a structured financial plan. Additionally, they touch on the need for prioritizing high-importance and high-urgency financial tasks over less impactful activities. The hosts share their personal experiences with managing boredom and financial stress, emphasizing the value of focusing on long-term planning. They also reflect on how market distractions can lead to suboptimal investment behaviors and the cultural difficulty of being bored in today's fast-paced, tech-driven world. 00:00 Welcome to the Thoughts and Money Podcast 00:16 The Importance of Boredom 00:57 Arthur Brooks' Influence 02:39 Cultural Challenges with Boredom 03:34 Investment Behavior and Boredom 04:35 The Impact of Technology on Investing 05:23 The Role of Boredom in Creativity 06:51 The Psychology of Investing 10:54 The Value of Long-Term Investment Strategies 18:27 Micro vs. Macro Financial Planning 19:28 Prioritizing Financial Decisions 21:06 The Importance of Addressing Major Financial Issues 24:00 Balancing Urgency and Importance 25:52 Creating a Comprehensive Financial Plan 29:11 The Role of Boredom in Financial Planning 33:08 Avoiding Financial Distractions 39:03 Final Thoughts and Holiday Wishes Links mentioned in this episode: http://thoughtsonmoney.com http://thebahnsengroup.com

Unpopular truth: the reason most women struggle with health, fitness, confidence, and follow-through isn't because they don't know what to eat or how to work out - it's because they're still making decisions from an old identity. In the first episode of my Main Character Energy series, I'm breaking down why identity shifting is the real missing piece behind lasting change (and why motivation alone never works). I'm sharing my personal evolution, why autopilot habits keep you stuck, and yes… why we're starting this series with makeup (stick with me). We'll talk surprising facts about appearance, how small rituals change how you show up, my own main character makeup routine (even if you're not a makeup girly), and how this deeper identity work actually makes results stick - not just in January, but for good.

You love Jesus, and you want to love the Bible, but most days, life crowds it out. And when you do open the text, it can feel confusing, disjointed, even offensive; so you reach for personalities who make it feel easier. The problem is that celebrity clarity often replaces biblical clarity. This week on Win Today, Zach Windahl—creator of The Bible Study and founder of The Brand Sunday—joins me to recover the unified story of Scripture and to challenge a popular church slogan: "belong before you believe." Belonging matters, but the New Testament's pattern is belief that forms a people, not a people that replaces belief. We'll name the most common study mistakes, walk a simple observation–interpretation–application path, and give you a way to read when you're bored, confused, or offended—so you meet the Lord in the words he actually inspired. Guest Bio Zach Windahl is the author of The Bible Study. His work has introduced hundreds of thousands to practical, repeatable study rhythms that move from information to transformation. Today isn't about his résumé; it's about putting tools in your hands so you can read what's there and be formed by it. Show Partner SafeSleeve designs a phone case that blocks up to 99% of harmful EMF radiation—so I'm not carrying that kind of exposure next to my body all day. It's sleek, durable, and most importantly, lab-tested by third parties. The results aren't hidden—they're published right on their site. And that matters, because a lot of so-called EMF blockers on the market either don't work or can't prove they do. We protect our hearts and minds—why wouldn't we protect our bodies too?

Comedian Meg Jager joins me for one of the funniest and most insightful episodes yet. We dive into autism, anxiety, anger, identity, dating, chaotic life choices, unhinged DMs and why only boring people get bored.Meg opens up about discovering she's autistic in adulthood, how that reframed her entire life (including realising she was bullied without knowing), and why her autism actually protected her. We also explore OCD, everyday rage, Melbourne tram etiquette, mental health as physical health, antidepressants, grief, burnout and the strangely calming world of pimple-popping videos.And of course… we expose some of Meg's wildest DMs — from unsolicited “confessions of love” to sour reactions when she doesn't reply. The parasocial relationships are real.If you love episodes about autism, mental health, dating, feminism, comedy, boundaries and modern adulthood, this one is for you.Autism in adulthood & the moment everything “clicked”Why Meg thought her bullies were confusing her with another MegOCD, anxiety & the physical symptoms no one talks aboutEveryday rage & Melbourne's complete lack of spatial awarenessWhy some people get bored — and why Meg never doesThe mental load on women vs men's learned helplessnessParasocial DMs & men treating comedy like HingeBoundaries, love languages & being misunderstoodWeight, antidepressants & navigating burnoutGrief, family, community & the butterfly effect

There's a difference between loving the Bible and learning how to read it. For many, study has felt complicated, clinical, or—worst of all—boring. Some of us were discipled by personalities instead of passages; others learned to chase quick application while skipping context. This week on Win Today, Faith Womack, author of No More Boring Bible Study, joins me to rediscover a way of reading Scripture that is honest, thoughtful, and engaging. We wrestle with tension instead of flattening it; we name the mistakes that teachers and pastors often make, and we rebuild a faithful hermeneutic that carries you from observation to interpretation to application without distorting the text. If you've wanted easy methods, renewed energy for the grand story, and a path to encounter the Lord in the Word—not just opinions about the Word—this conversation is your on-ramp. Guest Bio Faith Womack is the author of No More Boring Bible Study: Why Taking Scripture Seriously Is Easier—and More Exciting—Than You Think and the creator behind Bible Nerd Ministries. Her work translates serious hermeneutics into clear, repeatable practices for everyday disciples. Today isn't about academic showmanship; it's about putting tools in your hands so you can read what's there and be formed by it. Show Partner SafeSleeve designs a phone case that blocks up to 99% of harmful EMF radiation—so I'm not carrying that kind of exposure next to my body all day. It's sleek, durable, and most importantly, lab-tested by third parties. The results aren't hidden—they're published right on their site. And that matters, because a lot of so-called EMF blockers on the market either don't work or can't prove they do. We protect our hearts and minds—why wouldn't we protect our bodies too?

Parents are often told that boredom fuels creativity, but for neurodiverse kids, “just be bored” can feel more like distress than inspiration. In this insightful episode, Tania sits down with cognitive specialist and author Bea Moise to explore why boredom impacts autistic and ADHD brains differently, and what children actually need in those moments.Together they unpack how novelty, structure, and movement support regulation and focus, and why sensory and executive-function differences make unstructured downtime hard for many neurodiverse kids. Bea offers compassionate, realistic tools to help parents balance stimulation with rest, foster creativity without chaos, and build environments where all kinds of brains can thrive.This conversation reframes boredom not as a skill to be forced, but as a signal to be understood.To find out more about Bea's work, click hereBea's Youtube Channel is also on fire, to subscribe click hereTo purchase : "Our Neurodivergent Journey", click hereTo purchase :"The Neurodivergent Home", click hereWanting more from ICP?

And we live twice as long. Go figure." - Esther PerelFor most of human history, sex was procreation and duty. Women's pleasure didn't matter. Marriage had nothing to do with desire. Then everything changed in just 60 years. Contraception freed women from the terror of pregnancy and death. The women's movement challenged ancient power structures. Suddenly we started marrying for butterflies and attraction, expecting those feelings to sustain us for decades. But here's what nobody prepared us for: research shows women get bored with monogamy much faster than men. Not because women want less sex, but because they want less of the boring sex that shows up in long-term relationships. The romance dies. The seduction disappears. Men think foreplay is five minutes before intercourse, but Esther explains that for women, foreplay actually starts at the end of the previous orgasm. It's the tease, the pacing, the way animals circle each other without overwhelming.This conversation strips away everything you thought you understood about desire in relationships. Esther walks through why sustaining passion with one person for 60 years is literally unprecedented in human history, and what actually kills desire in marriage. The plot disappears. The character gets stale. Couples stop seducing each other and wonder why the spark died. She reveals the essential ingredients that make eroticism possible, why women's desire needs romance and mystery to survive, and how most relationships accidentally destroy the very conditions that create turn-on. This isn't about trying harder or scheduling more date nights. It's about understanding that we're living through a grand experiment of humankind, asking for something no generation before us has successfully achieved, and most of us are doing it completely wrong.RetrySign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
