This simple and effective upgrade to your health, hormones and performance only takes two minutes a day!In this episode, Louise Valentine, one of the world's leading integrative health practitioners and exercise physiologists, explores a hidden challenge many active women face during perimenopause: chronic stress, elevated cortisol and blood sugar. For driven women who love running, training hard, and pushing themselves, the constant “go, go, go” mindset can quietly disrupt hormones, insulin sensitivity, recovery, and long-term health. Louise explains how intense training, under-fueling, caffeine, and daily life stress can compound, leaving many women feeling exhausted, stuck with stubborn fat loss, or even facing rising blood sugar levels.The good news is that the solution does not have to be complicated. Louise introduces a simple but powerful tool called a pause practice. By intentionally slowing down for just a few minutes during stressful transition points in the day, women can calm the nervous system, regulate cortisol, and improve recovery.Listeners will learn how small moments of awareness, breathing, and presence can shift not only their health and training results, but also their energy, mood, and family environment. Sometimes the most powerful performance strategy is learning when to pause.Apply what you learned with a simple yet highly effective daily pause practice in podcast episode 124B that immediately follows today's episode!LINKS + RESOURCESLearn & level up with my free nutrition guide & award-winning Badass Breakthrough Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/ Check out my FullScript here where you can see curated best supplement picks & save 20 % off.

What if the most powerful thing you could do for your health today is simply pause and slow down to notice how strong, capable, and resilient you are?In this short guided daily practice, listeners are invited to step out of the constant momentum of daily life and reconnect with their bodies through a simple pause practice. Many of us move through stressful days on autopilot, pushing forward without noticing how tension and mental noise build up. This episode offers a practical way to interrupt that cycle.Through mindful breathing, slowing down movement, and tuning into physical sensations, the pause practice helps calm the nervous system and restore inner balance. Host Louise Valentine encourages listeners to lengthen their exhales, notice areas of tension in the body, and gently relax the shoulders, jaw, and face. These small shifts can help quiet racing thoughts and bring attention back to the present moment.By practicing this daily reset, listeners can support healthier stress responses, improve emotional balance, hormone balance, blood sugar responses, and cultivate a deeper sense of calm. Over time, these brief pauses can help shift life from constant pressure and “powering through” toward a more peaceful and energized way of living.Learn how to maximize use of this simple yet highly effective daily pause practice in podcast episode 124A. Louise discusses why it can help hack your cortisol response, balance blood sugar and your hormones with greater calm and ease.LINKS + RESOURCESLearn & level up with my free nutrition guide & award-winning Badass Breakthrough Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/ Check out my FullScript here where you can see curated best supplement picks & save 20% off.

In last week's episode, I talked about something I call the hope wound: that quiet erosion of belief that happens after you've tried for something again and again without seeing the result you wanted. And when that wound happens, effort starts to feel pointless. Trying starts to feel exhausting. In this episode, I'm going deeper into that conversation and exploring the relationship between hope and effort. Because the truth is, we don't quit their dreams because we're lazy! We tend to quit because we start to believe our effort won't matter... because we've tried so much for so long. I share a powerful story and a new way to think about trying that completely shifted my perspective: the idea that breakthroughs rarely follow a logical timeline, and that sometimes the moment everything changes comes right after the moment you're most ready to give up. If you've been feeling discouraged, tired of trying, or quietly wondering whether the thing you want will ever work out, this episode is an invitation to reclaim hope......and maybe cast the net one more time.

When you've experienced abandonment, betrayal, rejection, or long seasons of disappointment, your nervous system quietly learns: "Don't get too excited." "Don't expect too much." "Protect yourself from believing or opening your heart again."   That's the Hope Wound. It's the place where your heart still wants something deeply… but your body braces for loss. In this 90-minute deep-dive, we'll gently uncover how abandonment experiences (loss of a dream, abandonment by another, a core rejection) have reshaped your relationship to hope. We'll dissolve the pattern of dimming your desire to avoid pain and rewire the subconscious belief that expecting good things makes you naive or unsafe. This session is about becoming brave enough to believe again. Because hope deferred makes a heart sick - and it's safe to get our hopes up and believe the best of the future again.

There's been a lot of talk in the Self-Improvement world about the subconscious, or unconscious mind. You read about it in classic books like Think and Grow Rich, all the way up to the latest books, like Atomic Habits. So, what exactly is the subconscious mind and how can we not only understand it, but use it to our advantage? On today's episode, Tony Wechsler and Claudia Lorant are going to discuss “Aligning with Your Subconscious Mind.”Claudia can be reached at her website: https://claudialorant.com/ where you can download her booksAnd on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/claudialorant https://www.facebook.com/claudia.s.lorant substack.com/@claudialorantAs always, you are invited to join the Strive to Thrive Facebook group for a supportive community.... ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/strivetothrivepage⁠⁠   BTW...If you love this episode, please take a screenshot, share it on your Facebook story and tag me @TonyWechsler And remember to download the eBook, Strive to Thrive at ⁠⁠https://tonywcoaching.com/⁠⁠

A scarcity mindset focuses on keeping what you have. In some cases, it's holding tightly to the little you have, while feeling terrified that it will slip away. Abundance flips the script: it dares you to dream bigger, create more, and generously share the overflow. We all have a choice so why not choose abundance over scarcity. And that's exactly what Tony Wechsler and Kim Carter are going to discuss on today's episode.

What if perimenopause could actually become one of the strongest, healthiest seasons of your life? In this episode, Louise, one of the world's leading women's integrative health practitioners, performance scientists, and exercise physiologists, sits down with Jen to share a transformation story that challenges everything many women believe about aging, hormones, body recomposition, running, and performance!Jen highlights how simple, consistent strategies like whole-food nutrition, strategic strength training, and fueling that works with our unique changing hormones and female physiology can lead to meaningful changes in body composition, energy, confidence, and biomarkers without relying heavily on medications or extreme protocols. The conversation explores how small, sustainable, and highly strategic habits compound over time, why a community of strong women's support matters most during midlife, and mindset shifts that can help women move from feeling stuck to feeling empowered.Listeners will walk away with reassurance that progress does not require perfection, endless supplements, diets, or expensive tools. Instead, it comes from learning how to work with our female body, not against it. Whether you are navigating hormonal changes, struggling with a fitness plateau, or want to feel your best in your body, this episode offers hope, clarity, and practical perspective.RESOURCES + LINKSFind the Injury Prevention for Women Runners 30+ and a Female Runners Guide to Support Optimal Ferritin courses mentioned here.Grab our free monthly goal planning calendar & learn how to use it here.Get $25 off Function Health labs here or use code LVALENTINE11Find FullScript here and see curated supplement picks.

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: Hi, thank you for the podcast, I am long time listener, first time asker. Something weird is going on at my company. A colleague of my always wanted to get promoted to management, he got the opportunity, but after multiple preparatory meeting for this new promotion, HE QUIT! He did not tell what happened there, only that “it was time for something new”. Now several months later my skip level declared that he wants to be a developer again. Another manager was offered his position, which is a significant promotion (basically head of engineering), which he accepted, but after being included into high level meetings he declared that he is also QUITTING! We now have an interim Head of engineering, who declared that he is only doing this until a replacement is found. Why does no one wants to be in the management? What is happening at these meetings that people leave? Btw. the financial state of the company is not great, but not horrible, the CEO even declared that there won't be layoffs this year. So what's going on? I really like working at this company, but I can't shake the feeling after these events that I am up for a big surprise soon. Hi, I'm a senior dev at a megacorp. I'm struggling with AI. We've got a lot of initiatives around it and are expected to be using it with our work. The problem is every time I try to use it I get really frustrated. It feels like working with a junior dev who doesn't know the codebase well but knows lots of language/framework trivia. I also feel displeasure in my work turning into just reviewing some generated code and fixing it up. Especially, when you have to be very thorough because we all know that a single line of code can cause an outage. I just find no joy in this kind of work and am starting to have an aversion to it even when I just try to learn more about it. I'm also having a hard time teasing apart the hype from the reality. I'm either hearing that “the models are so great, this is the future, coding isn't a career anymore” or “this is hype, the bubble will burst soon and ruin everything.” Both of these outcomes seem kinda catastrophic but I have no idea which one to believe in (or maybe there's a 3rd option?). So, how do I overcome this aversion? How do I make sense of the hype vs. reality? How do I learn to stop worrying and love the slop? Thanks, Dr. Strangecode

Perimenopause does not have to be the beginning of decline, but can instead be the start of your strongest chapter! In this inspiring success story, Louise, a leading expert for perimenopausal active women and runners, sits down with Jen, an everyday runner and mom who transformed her health, hormones, and body composition after years of frustration. Jen shares how anxiety, overtraining, fasting, and misinformation left her injured and stuck, despite doing everything she thought was “right.” The turning point came when she learned to fuel her body to build beautiful hormones and mitigate symptoms, apply specific targeted strength training, adjust her running, and work with her hormones instead of against them.Listeners will take away a powerful reminder that thriving in perimenopause does not require extreme diets or complicated protocols. Simple yet strategic consistent habits are often the most effective. This episode also highlights how community support, understanding your body's signals, and using whole foods strategically can improve energy, reduce inflammation, and restore confidence.If you feel discouraged by changing hormones, stubborn belly fat, being told there is nothing you can do about your genetic predispositions, or frustrating injuries that make you question your future as an active woman, Jen's story shows what is possible with the right approach, support, and mindset.RESOURCESLearn with my free nutrition guide and award-winning Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/ Take Injury Prevention for Women Runners 30+ or my Female Runners Guide to Support Optimal Ferritin Masterclasses mentioned here.Grab a free monthly goal planning calendar & learn how to use it here.Get $25 off Function's comprehensive labs here or use code LVALENTINE11 Check out FullScript here where you can see curated supplement picks & save 20% off.

Last night’s State of the Union Address was, though indirectly, in many ways largely indicative of the ‘State of our Union’; irascible, beleaguered, gaslighted, schizophrenic. Despite getting sidetracked for a bit on today’s episode, below you’ll find my extensive coverage of last night’s SOTU, including a timestamped breakdown of my live observations while watching.

Claim Rebuttal Source Rebuttal ‘$18 trillion’ in investments CNN’s Daniel Dale “…the White House’s own website said the figure for “major investment announcements” during this Trump term was “$9.7 trillion,” and even that is a major exaggeration; a detailed CNN review in [Oct 2025] found [WH counting trillions in] vague investment pledges, pledges that were about “bilateral trade” or “economic exchange” rather than investment in the US and vague statements that didn’t even rise to the level of pledges.” Low gas prices (2.30, 1.99, 1.85) CNN’s Daniel Dale According to AAA: only 2 states w/ avg < $2.50/gal; GasBuddy: 4:150k (.003%) gas stations w/ gas < $2/gal Inherited record inflation CNN’s Daniel Dale Dec, 2024 Y-O-Y inflation (CPI): 2.9% Inherited stagnant economy CNN’s Daniel Dale False (see details) Passed largest tax cuts (GBBB) in American history CNN’s Tami Luhby “It ranks seventh in terms of share of GDP since 1918, according to Chris Towner, policy director for the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan watchdog group.” Biden allowed ‘11,888 murderers’ to enter US as migrants CNN’s Daniel Dale ““11,888” number is about non-citizens who entered the US not just under Biden but over the course of multiple decades, including during Trump’s own first administration.” Foreign countries are paying T47 tariffs CNN’s Daniel Dale “In an analysis released in February, officials at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York wrote, “We find that nearly 90 percent of the tariffs’ economic burden fell on U.S. firms and consumers.”…[CBO] wrote in a February report that “the net effect of tariffs is to raise U.S. consumer prices by the full portion of the cost of the tariffs borne domestically (95 percent)”…” Fraud in Minnesota CNN’s Daniel Dale “…Walz admin official said in December that they had “evidence of tens of millions of dollars in fraud to this point,” not $9[/18/19] billion…” US elections claims CNN’s Daniel Dale Disputed (see details) More Americans are working today than ever CNN’s Daniel Dale “The labor force participation rate, which measures the percentage of the population that is employed or actively looking for work, has been almost unchanged…” Ended eight wars CNN’s Daniel Dale Largely disputed (see details) Achieved no tax on Social Security CNN’s Tami Luhby Disputed, misleading (see details) Balancing the federal budget by ending fraud CNN’s Tami Luhby 2024 GAO estimate “found that [$233–521B] is lost to fraud annually. But the federal budget deficit came in at just under $1.8 trillion for the most recent fiscal year, which ended in September, according to the Treasury Department – more than triple the highest estimated fraud total.” #Contemporaneous Notes Duration: 01:47:43 (longest SOTU in history – breaking the modern record he set last year.)

Die EFF sê enige belastingverhoging kan onbestendigheid vererger wanneer die minister van Finansies, Enoch Gondongwana, vanmiddag sy begroting lewer. Woordvoerder Thembi Msane het die regering gevra om nie BTW te verhoog nie, en 'n inflasie-gekoppelde welvaartbelasting in te stel in plaas van om armes verder te belas. Msane sê dit volg op debatvoering rondom rykdom-belasting om ongelykheid te verminder, terwyl voorstelle fokus op die herstrukturering van bestaande belasting:

Happy Belated Valentine's Day. I hope you all enjoyed it, especially those who were able to share it with someone else. If you're in a relationship, no matter how good it is, there is one thing that must not be ignored. We should never forget the importance of Self-Love.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:    S: What's the deal with smoothies? Why are they recommended so much? Not just by Equilife but from a lot of other wellness practitioners. In general I find they don't satiate me for long and could end up causing me to overeat in the long run. But more than that, I developed a different issue. I found Equilife, as it seems many have, when experiencing gut issues (probably post infectious IBS) and looking for answers. My issues kept coming and going. Then I started to realize it was aggravated during detoxes. (This all evolved over a year and a half.) I finally discussed with AI. In a nutshell, AI suggested I eat warm foods only, cooked veggies. Eat foods in a particular order. This wasn't high risk so I tried this advice. It helped so much. So now I wonder, is it really best to recommend smoothies for everyone? Especially when the detox with shakes or smoothies are recommended as a starting point before other protocols? Seems like if smoothies were to be recommended, it might be better post gut healing? (I now remember a Chinese medicine practitioner telling me years ago that warm food is better for a sensitive gut. I had forgotten that temporarily.) Btw - it's all cold or raw food that can be too much for me right now. Not just shakes or smoothies but I also tested these things alone, outside of the detox. I just see smoothies recommended as nutrition for all kinds of reasons and to people with all kinds of gut issues and don't really hear anyone discuss when it is not good for some of us. Now I just need to figure out how long to heal before I can add back cold food and raw veggies at times. I miss my carrot sticks but glad my gut is happier. So why are smoothies such a thing in the wellness community?      Katie: Thank you for everything you have done and taught me. I had a Prenuvo scan done (thank you for the code) and found that I have a small pineal gland cyst, multiple kidney cysts, a syrinx in my spinal cord and a cyst on my cervix. I lived a very unhealthy first 33 years, but have been living clean the last 3. Big 5 showed bacterial overgrowth, mold, candida, heavy metals, mitochondrial dysfunction, high manganese, high bedtime cortisol, and low T3. Hormones and omegas were optimal. What is the root cause of cyst formation? Besides going through protocols and proteolytic enzymes is there anything else I should do? Of course, not looking for diagnosis or treatment plan.                                                            Liz: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a 36 year old female with no history of health problems before the last 2 years. On June 26, 2024 I underwent an XILF lumbar fusion surgery to fuse my L4/L5 because of chronic back pain. I soon found that this was the biggest mistake of my life. I haven't been the same since. I have been experiencing unrelenting, chronic nausea and abdominal discomfort on a daily basis. I also experience brain fog and chronic fatigue. As such, my performance at work has significantly decreased, my mood has been at an all time low, some days I can't even get out of bed. I wish I never had the surgery, had I known my quality of life would have plummeted so drastically. I've gone to countless specialists (a gastroenterologist, endocrinologist, rheumatologist, an ENT, neurologist, OBGYN, Accupuncture, even tried Reiki, and every test result shows unremarkable/normal results. I recently went to pain management and they gave me an epidural after seeing significant scar tissue around the surgical site. I am not experiencing any relief. In fact, I think I feel worse. I am getting married in May and want to start a family but have not been able to get myself right since my surgery. I'm scared I'll never be able to find relief. I don't know where else to turn or what else to do. I just want to get back to normal again and enjoy my life. If there's anything you can think of that I can try, I'll do it. I'm at my wits end. Please help me.                                                                  Rebecka: Hi Dr. Cabral. I have recently been diagnosed with Anemia. I have not been told the specific type of Anemia. I feel terrible 24/7. My symptoms include fatigue, weakness, dizziness, chest pain and shortness of breath. I feel this is an off and on chronic problem as I have realized I've been having these symptoms for years. My RBC are low, my retic is low and low lymphocytes. Mcv and mch values were high on my CBC. Vitamin b12 and folate normal and my TSH was what I considered low normal. I also experienced a hot flash after lunch every day. I am very petite at 5ft 1 and 95-100lbs and I am 43 years old. What tests should I be doing to figure out the root cause of my anemia? I know hormones and stress can play a role as well. I live a very stressful lifestyle working full time with 2 young daughters. On top of all this, I had an ultrasound of my abdomen in December. It showed biliary sludge and a 2cm hemangioma on my liver. Are there and herbs to dissolve the sludge before it causes any more pain or complications? I would just like to feel "good" again and live a somewhat normal life. Please help me.        Renee: Hi Dr Cabral, Firstly thank you for your dedication to helping people globally find answers to their health challenges. I am an IHP lv 2 and would greatly appreciate any advice on a client with CIDP (MADSAM syndrome) — Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy. A 62 yr old male, fit, dealing with symptoms for 2 yrs, legs are weak and seem to be getting weaker, continues to experience widespread fasciculations (nerve twitching), which are now also affects his hands. His neurologist has recommenced treatment with IVIG (Intravenous immunoglobulin) to address what body is doing to the nerves. I will be having him on the DESTRESS protocol and highly recommending the Big 5 to get to the root cause. Your thoughts on using IVIG along with removing toxicities and replacing deficiencies would be extremely appreciated as I am very keen to help him reverse this and get his life back. Thanking you in advance.

We return to a place we haven't seen since Episode 1, back when I had no idea what I was doing, in order to do Northumberland and Sunbury the right way.  Northumberland and Sunbury are getting the full treatment they deserve, over three years after I first stumbled through them. History, geography, and of course, a look at some of the more interesting and fun spots in both towns, including Pineknotter Brewing, a pinball bar, and the Squeeze-In, a narrow hot dog joint that's been serving up dogs five seats at a time since 1945 [correction to the podcast, BTW: the Squeeze-In is not 12 feet wide, it's only eight feet wide!].  I interviewed Curt and Thad Benner, 4th generation Sunbury natives and brothers, who opened Eclipse Craft Brewing 7 years ago. Curt makes great beer, Thad makes great pizza, and they also have teaberry vodka. Can't beat it!  What I'm Drinking Today is a 16 year old Tomintoul single malt, and it was wonderfully relaxing. The Smack Dab In The Centre segment is a reminder to grab yourself a new Central PA Tasting Trail passport, and start getting your ticket punched for tasty drinks and great discounts.  Your Uncle Lew also has a little 'love connection' advice about Valentine's Day. No, really, I do!  Next episode should be a chat with Elk Creek chef Jon Forshey about making stews, and there's a lot more to it than I realized.   See you in two weeks! Until then?

How great was it to get an email from a fascinating artist with a podcast to promote? Sure beats those emails that I get from people who tell me that they love my book! (Spoiler alert:I've never written a book. Unless they've stolen my coloring books from the Sherpa Chalet.) So, Steve had literally walked the equivalent of 13 miles, while there was a snowstorm brewing on Mount Podcastia (It's winter here; it's a mountain. You can do the math.), which created an interesting atmosphere for an interview.HIs podcast is unique, and very well done. And please check out the COOL artwork on his website (listed below). Both provide a lot of interesting reaction. Nothing spooky, I promise. BTW, I found out that Podcastia doesn't have the birds that Steve was referring to.But you know, my birthday IS coming up, you know. Maybe they can be trained to deliver pizza to me?

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.theflyingfrisby.comPhew. I need to write about something else apart from silver and gold. But I have to look at the price action we have seen this week, and I will say this. It was violent. Extraordinary, even. But it wasn't necessarily bearish.Sharp sell-offs like those we saw on Friday and Monday are characteristic of bull markets. In bear markets, corrections are grinding and protracted. Selling pressure is persistent. Value erodes slowly amid deteriorating fundamentals.Bull markets behave differently. They flush. Explosively.Late entrants and overleveraged speculators get shaken out. Stops are tight. Everyone is climbing the wall of worry. When a correction comes, a cascade of stop losses gets triggered all at once. Hence the violence.BTW the latest Atlas Pulse came out on Friday, as level-headed as always. It's the best gold and silver newsletter out there, in my view. Get your copy here - it's free.This is not just a precious-metals phenomenon. It's a broader market truism. I've seen it in equities, other commodities, you get it all the time in tech - especially bitcoin. Indeed the action we are seeing in bitcoin at the moment is typical of a bear market. The selling is grinding and relentless, rather than sharp and explosive.What's more the gold and silver miners behaved well, and in a way that is consistent with a bull market flush. Yes, they saw significant selling. But gold corrected 21% and silver 41%. GDX (the large mining companies) only corrected 19% and SIL (the large silvers) 24%. Most importantly, they recovered faster. You would not have got a bounce like that in a bear market.The relative strength is telling. If this were a reversal, the miners would have sold off by more. They didn't.If you live in a third world country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver. The pound will be further devalued, as will the euro and dollar. The bullion dealer I recommend is The Pure Gold Company. More here.What's more, theh miners only need $4,000 gold and $50 silver to be highly profitable. But if higher prices are the new normal, then a lot of previously uneconomic mines - particularly the low-grade, bulk-tonnage in Canada - are going to become economic. Heck, even STLLR Gold (TSX.STLR) might work. I should probably delete that last sentence.How the landscape has changed from a couple of years ago.Such huge potential, but …In other news, I sat through the Comstock Inc (AMEX:LODE) conference call yesterday. An hour of my life I won't get back.The asymmetric potential of this company remains enormous. But that call was a red flag bonanza.With the silver story what it is, and a clear path for this company to become North America's largest silver producer, this stock should be trading above $15.

February has arrived and with it another MONTH OF PETE, the best month of the year since Pete gets to pick all the movies. As tradition, Pete has employed some backups to stave off the ire of Charlie and we welcome some of our bestest buddies in the whole crazy podcasting world, Steven and Leo of Spoils of Horror. Pete's action pick this year is Five Deadly Venoms (1978), the seminal pop culture phenomenon produced by the Shaw Brothers. Now, classic kung-fu isn't really Charlie's bag so it will be exciting to hear if it landed with him since most of February Pete picks tend to fall short or more accurately, plop off a rooftop in a stinky wet pile of goo. Uncultured swine. BTW, if you want to understand Pete's "bycocket" joke you'll need to listen to some of the early Spoils of Horror episodes. Which you should be doing anyways, we're just giving you extra incentive.

Episode 268In this podcast, New York Times best-selling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all.The astrology of the week of February 2nd, 2026, asks us to get the message. In the wake of shake-ups from last week's Full Moon in Leo, Uranus — the planet of disruption — stations direct in Taurus, issuing a warning about injustice and encouraging us to get creative with our rage. Then Mercury and Venus both make a square to Uranus, further emphasizing our need for collective liberation. Now is the time to clarify the connections and causes that matter most — before eclipse season starts.This episode covers:The Full Moon in Leo on Sunday, February 1stThe end of Uranus' retrograde on Tuesday, February 3rdMercury's square to Uranus on Thursday, February 5thMercury's entrance into Pisces on Friday, February 6thVenus' square to Uranus on Sunday, February 8thThis episode was recorded on 01/12/2026.For more, check out your free daily horoscope on the homepage of the CHANI app — now on iOS and Android.Want to know what Chani's reading beyond the astro?

Worldbuilding doesn't have to start with an encyclopedia—and in fact, sometimes it shouldn't.I break down how I approached worldbuilding for my animated feature by working backwards on purpose. BTW, if you want to follow the project as it's actually being built, I'm sharing the full behind-the-scenes journey on Patreon (development updates, concept art, proof-of-concepts, and real creative decision-making along the way): http://patreon.com/philsvitek.I walk through how we broke down the script to identify what actually needs to exist onscreen, how that led to deeper systems around technology, government, housing, food, and culture, and why this level of logic is crucial for concept artists designing within a cohesive world.Rather than trying to solve everything at once, we're focusing on major elements we already feel strong about—using small victories to build momentum and inform the harder design challenges ahead.If you're a filmmaker, writer, animator, or storyteller overwhelmed by worldbuilding, this episode is about giving you permission to build the world as you need it—not all at once.

Episode 267In this podcast, New York Times best-selling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all.The astrology of the week of January 26th, 2026, is about taking up space and making sh*t happen. Neptune fully moves into Aries for the first and only time in our lifetimes, where it will inspire us to fight for our ideals over the next decade. Mars also teams up with Pluto, underscoring our collective power. And the Full Moon in Leo stirs up creative potential, urging us to dream bigger and bolder. It's time to get loud, command attention, and act on our visions for a better world.This episode covers:Neptune's entrance into Aries on Monday, January 26thMars' conjunction with Pluto on Tuesday, January 27thMercury's conjunction with Venus on Thursday, January 29thThe Full Moon in Leo on Sunday, February 1stThe end of Uranus' retrograde on Tuesday, February 3rdThis episode was recorded on 01/13/2026.For more, check out your free daily horoscope on the homepage of the CHANI app — now on iOS and Android.Want to know what Chani's reading beyond the astro?
