Junior year homecoming with my twins gave me 1 win and 1 heartbreak as a mom living with Parkinson's — and a DBS win for now.I made my daughter Kate's bouquet with her, but I couldn't pin my son Ben's boutonniere because of slowness in my fingers. If you know that feeling, this one's for you.
This week on the Raw Politics podcast: Are dirty politics happening before our eyes? Bouquets and brickbats for Parliament; and the Hager book assessed How big a deal for voters is the latest string of misleading, dirty and sometimes AI-generated attacks from across the political spectrum? And might they backfire? Today, the Raw Politics panel discusses false claims, out-of-context footage, AI slop and campaign disinformation which is happening even before we get into the official election campaign period Join senior political reporter Marc Daalder and associate editor Sam Sachdeva at Parliament and Newsroom co-editor Tim Murphy in Auckland as the panel asks if two examples of ads that National has been pulled up on, and ongoing allegations between parties, matter at the ballot box. The panel also offers bouquets and brickbats for the just-concluded Parliament and a debating chamber riven by indiscipline, falling standards and a Speaker exhibiting inconsistent rulings. Our third topic is Dirty Work, the latest book by Nicky Hager released this week. It is the third of a trilogy which actually feels a bit like two-and-a-half books. While it makes a range of allegations, it is lighter on evidential documentation and detail, and slimmer in volume, than his earlier investigative works. Finally, we offer recommendations for you to read, watch or listen to over your weekend: Sam: Newsroom's Dave Williams' comprehensive two-part inquiry into the Taxpayers' Union from back in 2023.Tim: The latest Ipsos Issues Monitor, out Friday, continues the trend of Labour outpointing National on all of the top six issues of concern to the public, including the economy. National wins favour for the seventh most important issue, law and order.Marc: Kate Newton of RNZ's scoop on the Govt denying a law change to allow a start-up to dump particles in NZ oceans Raw Politics will be available wherever you get your podcasts at the end of each week, and to watch on YouTube.
Recorded 21st November 2024Description: In this profound discussion on the final verse (Verse 104) of Śrīla Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī's Vilāpa-kusumāñjali, we explore the deep theological essence of raga-bhakti and the ultimate mood of devotional service (mañjarī-bhāva).
Recorded 22nd November 2024We explore the final verse (Verse 104) of Śrīla Raghunātha Dāsa Gosvāmī's Vilāpa-kusumāñjali („A Bouquet of Lamentations”).Unlike traditional prayers that conclude with a request for a benediction, this ultimate verse reveals that the prayer itself is its own benediction. Here, the material duality between beauty and intense agony dissolves, transforming deep longing in separation into eternal divine bliss (ānanda).Key Topics Covered in This Video: The Summit of Śādhana (Verse 104): Why the highest stage of devotion is realized through intense longing, profound humility, and love in separation (vipralambha). God vs. The Absolute Truth: A critical distinction from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam—why viewing God merely as a "controller" differs from pursuing the "Absolute Truth" as the ultimate source of all energies and loving relationships. Realizing Eternal Identity (Svarūpa): How deep meditation on eternal identity strips away bodily consciousness. The Grace of the Guru: Why true progress depends on the mercy of the Guru to remove internal blockages and ego. Honesty in Devotion: Overcoming external devotion ("two-faced" practice) to cultivate genuine, heartfelt servicevisit: http://beautyofreallove.com/visit: https://sadhumaharaja.net/audio: https://tinyurl.com/BeautyOfRealLove#bhakti #bhaktiyoga #raganugabhakti #radha #krishna #gaudiya #sadhumaharajaVilapa Kusumanjali Lectures: https://tinyurl.com/VilapaKusumanjaliVilapa Kusumanjali morning lectures: https://tinyurl.com/VrindavanMorningKIRTAN live: https://tinyurl.com/MungerKirtanLiveQandA with Sadhu Maharaja: https://tinyurl.com/QandAwithSadhuMaharajaRadha Rasa Sudhanidhi Lectures: https://tinyurl.com/RadhaRasaSudhanidhiLectures

If you want to build a floral business that generates $200,000, $250,000, or more—especially in a seasonal wedding market—you may eventually need to figure out how to execute multiple events in the same weekend.But taking on more weddings does not automatically mean making more money.If your team, production schedule, ordering, transportation, communication, and logistics are not ready for the volume, a big revenue weekend can quickly become an expensive, exhausting shitshow.In this episode, Jeni pulls back the curtain on a recent weekend where her studio produced approximately $43,000–$45,000 in wedding work and explains exactly what made that possible.The first piece is team.You physically cannot process, design, load, deliver, install, and tear down tens of thousands of dollars in flowers by yourself. Jeni shares how she builds a freelance team, evaluates people based on their strengths, and assigns work based on what each person can execute efficiently.Because being talented is not enough.A freelancer can make beautiful flowers and still destroy your margin if every arrangement takes twice as long as you budgeted.Jeni also explains why clear expectations matter—from what each person is responsible for to how long projects should take, when freelancers will be paid, what paperwork is required, and how to make sure the owner does not become the bottleneck for every question.Then comes preparation.Inventory needs to be counted.Mechanics need to be built.Supplies need to be purchased.Foam, chicken wire, wristlets, tape, cages, vessels, candles, and rentals need to be ready before the wedding week begins.Your ordering strategy matters too. Large-volume weekends require strong wholesaler relationships, realistic ordering deadlines, backup plans, and enough product margin to account for damage and unexpected flower issues without wildly overbuying.From there, Jeni walks through how she creates a production schedule so everyone understands what needs to happen and when. Bouquets, bud vases, foam designs, personals, installations, and other pieces all have a place in the production flow.And efficiency goes far beyond floral design.Keeping the studio clean, removing empty buckets, managing boxes, consolidating leftover flowers, boxing finished designs as you go, and creating smart loading systems can save enormous amounts of time when several events are happening at once.Jeni also shares how she plans wedding-day timelines, uses delivery windows, creates detailed logistics forms, documents rentals, clearly communicates teardown expectations, and makes sure everyone knows exactly what happens to the flowers and rental items at the end of the night.Finally, she talks about something florists often forget:The aftermath.Large events create a large cleanup.And if you are building a business that operates at a higher revenue level, you need to budget resources for what happens after the flowers leave the studio too.Scaling is not simply doing more.It is building better systems so you can do more while protecting your sanity, your client experience, and your profit.In this episode, Jeni talks about:Why seasonal florists may need multiple-event weekends to reach larger revenue goalsWhat it took to execute approximately $43K–$45K in wedding work in one weekendWhy you cannot scale without a teamHow to recruit additional freelance designersWhy you should identify every freelancer's superpowerThe difference between talent and efficiencyHow slow labor can destroy profitabilityWhy attitude and studio energy matter tooCreating clear daily task lists so you are not the bottleneckAssigning one person to a design category for consistencySetting clear freelancer payment and paperwork expectationsPrepping rental inventory before wedding weekBuilding mechanics ahead of timeOrdering enough product to account for breakage without excessively overbuyingWhy strong wholesaler relationships matter at high volumeCreating backup plans for flower problemsBuilding a production scheduleKnowing when your studio is falling behindWhy cleaning as you go improves efficiencyCreating systems for garbage, compost, boxes, and empty bucketsConsolidating extra flowers into a wedding-day emergency bucketBoxing finished designs as you goOptimizing vehicle space for transportationCreating an installation tool kitUsing delivery windows when managing multiple eventsBuilding a wedding-day logistics sheetDocumenting rental inventoryCreating a clear teardown planBudgeting for cleanup after the eventWhy higher revenue requires evolving processes and staffingTeam lessonDo not simply ask:“Can this person design flowers?”Ask:What are they GREAT at—and how efficiently can they do it?Someone might be incredible at installations and inexperienced with personal flowers.Someone else might make bridesmaid bouquets incredibly fast.Someone might be a processing machine.Build your team around those strengths.Because the goal is not simply to finish the wedding.The goal is to finish the wedding profitably.The big-event mindset shiftHigher revenue requires more than bigger proposals.It requires:Better team.Better prep.Better systems.Better communication.Better logistics.You physically cannot do everything yourself.And you should not have to.Key takeawayIf you want to scale your floral business, stop asking:“How can I personally do more?”Start asking:“What systems, people, and processes need to exist so the business can handle more?”That is how bigger weddings become sustainable instead of overwhelming.

Rubrique:nouvelles Auteur: berthe-vadier Lecture: Daniel LuttringerDurée: 51min Fichier: 36 Mo Résumé du livre audio: "Restée veuve très jeune et sans enfants, elle ne voulut pas entendre parler d'un autre hymen. Comme on savait que la volonté seule de sa famille l'avait unie au marquis de Chambleuse et que l'amour n'avait point été convié à ces noces, on s'étonna fort de cette obstination au veuvage. Dans un temps où l'inconstance était à la mode, où les plus longues amours duraient moins que les roses, comment eût-on pu deviner que la belle marquise restait fidèle à une inclination de sa jeunesse ?"

A listener wrote in asking about a version of jealousy a lot of us are ashamed to admit: "I don't feel excited when good things happen to my friends anymore. Engagements, promotions, pregnancies, whatever. I fake it every time and feel like a monster." Em and Cass dive in head first with their own confessions, including the jealousy they've felt toward each other, which they've never actually shared until now. They read the community polls (89% of you compare yourselves to your friends), read anonymous submissions on comparing looks, cars, and friend groups, and lasty run a rapid-fire agree/disagree round on when jealousy crosses the line.

Brooke Bralove has spent 22 years as a sex therapist helping women figure out what's actually going on when desire disappears. Her take: your desire isn't broken or gone, it's just stuck. She joins Em and Cass to talk about why the sex we had at the beginning of a relationship isn't coming back (and why we need to grieve that), why "just try to be in the mood" is terrible advice, and how a new kind of therapy called ART is helping women unstick everything from low libido to body image spirals in as little as one session.

Have you heard about "Broccoli Gate"? A bride swapped her bridal bouquet for an actual bunch of broccoli — and Adriana has thoughts. In this solo episode of The Pre Nup, host Adriana Brauckmann breaks down the bridal bouquet alternatives that miss the mark (hello, book bouquets and baby's breath boas) versus the ones actually worth trying, like the single stem and the parasol. Then she gets into the influencer-ification of bridal parties — why those $5,000 bridesmaid proposal boxes you're seeing online are PR gifting, not a standard to chase — plus real bachelorette party safety tips, honeymoon and venue security (including what to do with your cash gifts), and a full breakdown of why a micro wedding might be the move for your guest list and your budget. She closes with an afterparty rapid-fire round covering the most overrated wedding tradition, the one splurge that's worth it, and how to handle a destination wedding gift. In this episode: "Broccoli Gate" — the viral bridal bouquet swap breaking the internet Bridal bouquet alternatives ranked: rings, baby's breath boas, and books (skip) vs. single stems and parasols (yes) Why bridesmaid proposal boxes and bachelorette party influencer culture are costing brides way more than they realize Bachelorette party travel safety: the buddy system, drink safety, and staying alert in bachelorette-heavy cities Honeymoon and venue security — safe alternatives to hotel safes and how to handle wedding cash gifts Micro weddings: why smaller guest counts open up bigger budgets, better food, and more intimate design choices A script for telling guests they're not invited to a micro wedding or elopement, without the awkwardness Afterparty rapid fire: most overrated wedding tradition, the splurge that's worth it, destination wedding gift etiquette, and the biggest wedding money-wasters Got a question for a future episode?

Cesena, 1° settembre 1992 – Cristina Golinucci è una ragazza di 21 anni, con alle spalle una famiglia che le vuole bene e una profonda fede religiosa. Quel pomeriggio esce di casa per recarsi al convento dei Cappuccini, un luogo che frequenta abitualmente. Da quel momento, però, di lei si perdono completamente le tracce. La sua Fiat 500 viene ritrovata nel parcheggio del convento, ma Cristina sembra essersi dissolta nel nulla. Nelle prime settimane si parla di allontanamento volontario, ma la famiglia non crede a questa ipotesi neppure per un istante. Con il passare degli anni emergeranno testimonianze, sospetti e nuove piste investigative che riportano più volte l'attenzione proprio sull'ambiente religioso frequentato dalla giovane. Tra archiviazioni, riaperture dell'inchiesta e interrogativi rimasti senza risposta, il caso diventa uno dei più longevi e controversi misteri italiani. Ma che cosa accadde davvero a Cristina quel pomeriggio di settembre? E perché, dopo oltre trent'anni di indagini, nessuno è ancora riuscito a spiegare cosa sia successo a quella ragazza entrata in un convento e mai più tornata a casa? Proviamo a scoprirlo insieme a Marty e Fred: esperte di cronaca nera ed autrici del podcast “Bouquet of Madness”.

In this episode, Jen breaks down what it really takes to deliver a seamless wedding day experience — because delivering flowers is not just dropping off product, it is delivering a brand experience.After reflecting on her recent Business, Bouquets and Branding Workshop and a bouquet-only wedding that reminded her how important clear expectations are, Jen dives into the real reason some wedding days feel smooth and polished… while others feel chaotic and stressful. The difference is not just how hard you hustle that morning. It starts long before the wedding day itself.A flawless wedding delivery is built through clear communication, thoughtful planning, strong mechanics, accurate recipes, understanding venue logistics, calm leadership, and a team that knows exactly what they are doing.In this episode:Why delivering a wedding is really delivering an experienceHow flawless delivery starts before wedding dayThe importance of clear proposals, recipes, and countsWhy venue logistics matter more than most florists realizeWhat questions to ask before wedding dayHow to build a production schedule that reduces chaosWhy labeling matters more than you thinkHow to organize personal flowers so nothing gets missedWhy mechanics need to be designed for transport, not just beautyHow your energy on-site affects the planner, couple, and whole experienceWhat to double-check before leaving a weddingThe mistakes that make weddings feel chaoticWhy wedding-day execution directly impacts your reputation and referralsKey takeawayA flawless wedding is not created because you hustled harder that morning. It is created because you planned, communicated, organized, and led the experience from the very beginning.Mentioned in this episodeThe Floral CEO Mastermindhttp://floralceo.com/mastermind
What a wild week but I'm catching you up on all the things. What I've been up to, hot times with Mr. Right and how I'm going back to dropping episodes on Fridays! And, let's please talk red and green flags in relationships! Red: no gray areas, must have self-awareness and gotta be consistent!

How to Make Your Big Goals Actually HappenIn this episode, Jen shares what came up for her after hosting the first Business, Bouquets and Branding Workshop on the family farm — a dream she had been thinking about for a long time. Reflecting on that milestone led her to something bigger: how goals actually happen.This is not just an episode about vision boards or dreaming big. It is about the real work behind bringing something to life: intention, planning, chunking big dreams into smaller steps, and building a roadmap you can actually follow.Jen talks about how much progress she has already made on her vision board this year, why using her vision board as a phone screensaver has been such a powerful visual reminder, and how the quarterly review process inside the Floral CEO Mastermind helps keep goals moving forward instead of getting forgotten.She also shares practical examples of how this works in real life — from planning a workshop experience on the farm to researching and bringing home Valais sheep — to show how seemingly huge dreams become possible when you break them into clear, manageable pieces.In this episode:Why dreaming big is not enough on its ownThe difference between vague goals and real executionHow to build a roadmap for a goal you care aboutWhy visual reminders help keep your goals front and centerHow Sunday prep can keep you aligned with what mattersWhy bite-sized action is often the missing pieceHow to stop half-assing your goals and start creating momentumWhy support and accountability matter so much when you want real changeKey takeawayManifesting is not just about wanting something. It is about intention, action, clarity, and putting structure behind the dream. Big goals happen when you stop winging it and start breaking them down into steps you can actually take.Mentioned in this episodeThe Floral CEO Mastermindhttp://floralceo.com/mastermind
