Burned out. Ready to quit. One bad season away from selling everything. That's exactly where Jeremy Laurence found himself. In this powerful Level Up + Live conversation, the owner of Air Woodlands reveals the truth behind the success nobody saw. Exhausted, overwhelmed, and watching stress spill into his marriage, family, and business, Jeremy admits he was ready to walk away from the company he spent years building. But what happened next changed everything. After stepping into a community of leaders and choosing growth over comfort, Jeremy experienced a transformation that reached far beyond business. From losing more than 35 pounds and rebuilding his health to developing leaders inside his company and rediscovering joy, Jeremy shares the breakthroughs that helped him go from surviving to leading with purpose. He opens up about the emotional toll of entrepreneurship, the warning signs of burnout, the power of honest conversations, and why so many business owners wait until they're completely worn out before asking for help. He also shares the lessons that changed his marriage, strengthened his faith, improved his leadership, and helped his children see a better version of their father. If you're a business owner, entrepreneur, or leader who feels tired, stressed, frustrated, or secretly wondering if it's time to give up, this episode may be exactly what you need to hear. From addiction recovery and near burnout to renewed purpose and stronger relationships, Jeremy's story proves that success isn't about working harder. It's about becoming the person you're capable of becoming. The comeback nobody saw coming started with one decision. And what Jeremy discovered might change the way you think about leadership forever.

H.W. Brands describes how, during the summer of 1940, as London burned under the Luftwaffe's terror weapons, Roosevelt made the historic decision to seek a third term. He used "Rooseveltian misdirection" to freeze out potential Democratic successors like James Farley and John Nance Garner, eventually engineering a "draft" of himself based on the international emergency. Lindbergh and other skeptics saw this as a move toward a presidency for life, with Lindbergh accurately predicting Roosevelt would run for a fourth term and die in office. To formalize the opposition, the America First Committee was formed under General Robert Wood of Sears Roebuck, with Lindbergh serving as its star speaker. Lindbergh enjoyed massive media support and funding, delivering rallies that drew thousands while Roosevelt campaigned on promises that "your son will not die in a foreign war." The debate became increasingly personal, with Senator Burton Wheeler suggesting that every fourth American son would be "plowed into the ground" if the country intervened. Roosevelt, a master of press conferences, used his "slippery" instincts to treat reporters as adjuncts to his administration, planting ideas to see how they would be received by the public. Despite Lindbergh's constant radio messages that the U.S. was secure behind two oceans and possessed a superior military, Roosevelt began planning the Lend-Lease program as 1941 approached. (4)

Leaving the law when you're already burned out can feel impossible, because the job you need energy to escape is the same job draining all of your energy. You may understand that you need to figure out what comes next, but when you are scraping by energetically, even one more task can feel like too much.That is where a lot of burned out lawyers get stuck. They assume that if they do not have hours and hours each week, whole weekends, or a huge amount of bandwidth to put toward leaving the law, then they cannot make any real progress. But Sarah talks about why consistency matters more than massive amounts of time, especially when everything already feels hard.In this episode of The Former Lawyer Podcast, Sarah Cottrell talks about leaving the law when you are already burned out, why the process may require less weekly time than you think, how bridge jobs can create relief, and when mental health leave may be worth considering.0:27 - Leaving the law when you are already burned out1:09 - The question burned out lawyers ask when they know they need to figure out what comes next3:14 - Why career change does not require five or ten hours a week4:54 - How bridge jobs can help burned out lawyers get relief6:51 - Why mental health leave exists and when lawyers should consider it8:43 - What to remember if you are leaving the law while already burned outMentioned In Leaving the Law When You're Already Burned OutTake Mental Health Leave Of Absence From Your Law FirmBurnout In Lawyers With Ilona SalmonsSigns Of Lawyer Burnout - What Lawyers Need To KnowFirst Steps to Leaving the LawThe Former Lawyer Collaborative

In this episode of the Industry Spotlight, joining host Sam D'Arc are Frederick Grimm, Co-Founder and COO of AppraisalPro, and Danny Galat, General Sales Manager at Lithia Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Bend, to discuss how dealers are using real-time diagnostic scanning to stop taking hidden mechanical losses on trade-ins and turn a wholesale department that was bleeding money into one that's actually profitable. Danny walks through the $8,000 Ford Raptor miss that kept him up at night and drove him to find a better way to appraise used vehicles. The numbers that follow are hard to ignore: 20% of trade-in appraisals show a check engine light cleared within the last 50 miles, the average dealer is sitting on $15,000 to $20,000 in hidden reconditioning costs every month, and Danny's wholesale department swung from a loss to a profit by more than 300% in a single year. Frederick also breaks down how the tool detects odometer rollback and VIN fraud before a bad deal makes it onto your lot. This episode of the Car Dealership Guy Podcast is brought to you by AppraisalPro.

In this episode of Cut to the Chase: with Gregg Goldfarb, Gregg sits down with filmmaker Steve Dabal, director of Italian Wannabe — a feature documentary that sold out five screenings at the 2026 Palm Springs International Film Festival and is now doing pop-up screenings across the country. Italian Wannabe follows chef Bill Disselhorst — co-founder of Fiore Market Cafe, one of America's Top 100 restaurants — as he walks away from his Los Angeles life and returns to Casperia, a small medieval village an hour north of Rome, where he and his late wife Anne first fell in love with Italian food, slow living, and the kind of community that doesn't exist on a screen. What started as one man's grief became a meditation on reinvention, passion, and what it really means to belong somewhere.

Girl, you're not lazy and you're not broken, you're overworked and underplayed.In this episode, I satt down with Piera Gelardi, co-founder of Refinery29, creator of 29Rooms, and author of the brand-new book The Playful Way, for a conversation that cracked something wide open in me. Piera built one of the most iconic women's media brands of all time and sold it for over $400 million… then found herself sobbing on her apartment floor at what looked like the peak of her career. Why? She'd zipped herself into a "serious suit" and packed away the playful, curious, creative parts of herself to be taken seriously. Sound familiar, y'all?

Are you constantly busy but spiritually dry?In this episode of the Sound Words Podcast, Steve Snyder joins Pastors Jesse Randolph and Aaron Nicholson to discuss how modern culture's obsession with productivity can quietly become an idol. While efficiency can be useful, believers must guard against measuring their worth by accomplishment, performance, or public recognition.The conversation explores the dangers of burnout, misplaced priorities, ministry-driven busyness, and the subtle ways the worries of life can choke spiritual growth. Most importantly, the hosts point listeners back to the believer's primary calling: worshiping Christ and seeking His kingdom first.Sound Words is a ministry of Indian Hills Community Church, a Bible teaching church in Lincoln, NE.

If your business feels heavier than it used to, if you're looking at your calendar with zero excitement, or even feeling a little resentful toward work you used to love, this episode is going to hit home. In this episode of The Real Truth About Business podcast, I'm breaking down why what you think is burnout might actually be boredom and what that means for your business strategy and revenue growth. This is for service-based entrepreneurs in that 3–5 year range who are sitting in a revenue plateau, doing work that “works” but no longer feels aligned. After 9 years of experience, I can tell you this is a normal phase of business growth. Inside this episode, I walk you through how to identify what's actually going on, how it impacts your pricing strategy, pipeline, and sales process, and what to do next so your business evolves with you.What You'll Learn:The difference between burnout, boredom, and misalignment in your businessWhy outgrowing your business model is a natural part of revenue growthHow staying in outdated strategies impacts your pipeline and sales processWhat signs to look for when your offers are no longer alignedHow to audit your business for energy and profitabilityWhy evolving your business strategy improves long-term growthEpisode Highlights:[00:00] Introduction: Why this isn't burnout, it's boredom[03:00] The moment things feel “fine” but not exciting anymore[06:00] How outgrowing your business model shows up[10:00] The guilt of wanting something different[14:00] Real example: evolving offers and letting go of what worked[18:00] Common thoughts keeping you stuck in boredom[22:00] Why old strategies won't support new levels of growth[25:00] Simple ways to evolve without burning everything downKey Takeaways:Boredom Is a Sign You've Outgrown Your BusinessHere's what I see constantly. Business owners assuming they're burned out when really, they're just bored.After 9 years of working with service-based entrepreneurs, I can tell you this is one of the most common phases of business growth.You've outgrown the version of your business that you're still trying to run.And that creates friction.Because now you're operating at a higher level, but your business strategy hasn't caught up yet. That disconnect is what makes everything feel heavier than it should.Staying in What “Works” Is What Keeps You StuckThis is where most people get trapped.The offer is selling. The clients are coming in. The revenue is there.But you're not lit up anymore.So you stay because it feels responsible. Because it's predictable. Because it's working.But inside the Focused Visionary Framework, this is where misalignment starts impacting all three pillars. Your Pricing feels off, your Pipeline slows down, and your Sales process loses energy.Because you're no longer fully behind what you're selling.You Don't Need to Burn It DownThis is the biggest misconception.When you realize something isn't aligned, it feels like you have to blow everything up and start over.You don't.Most of the time, small shifts create massive change:Changing how you deliver an offerAdjusting your client typeShifting your marketing strategyMoving from calls to asynchronous supportThese are strategic adjustments, not complete overhauls.And they're what allow your business to evolve without losing momentum.Not All Revenue Is Worth KeepingJust because something is bringing in revenue doesn't mean it should stay.If an offer is:Draining your energyKeeping you stuckPreventing growthIt's costing you more than it's making you.This ties directly back to profit. Revenue without alignment leads to stagnation, not business growth.And eventually, that stagnation turns into actual burnout.Growth Requires Letting GoThis is the hard truth.As you evolve, not everything gets to come with you.Some clients won't continue.Some offers won't fit anymore.Some strategies will stop working.And that's not failure. That's growth.Your business strategy has to evolve at the same pace that you do, or it will always feel like you're operating in the past.Awareness Is What Moves You ForwardYou don't need to guess what's wrong.Start here:What feels draining?What feels energizing?What's profitable vs. just familiar?When you look at your business through that lens, the answers become clear.From there, you make intentional changes that support both your energy and your revenue growth.Because the goal isn't just to have a business that works.It's to have one that actually fits who you are now.Resources MentionedSubscribe to Back Pocket Insights for FREEBook a CEO Strategy Call Learn more about The Missing Piece IntensiveLearn more about The Focused Visionary AcceleratorDownload the FREE Lead and Conversion TrackerSubscribe to the Sunday Morning Brew NewsletterAbout the Host:Michelle DeNio is a business strategist based in Sarasota, Florida, specializing in helping service-based entrepreneurs break through revenue plateaus using her Focused Visionary Framework.

Is owning your own warehouse worth the headache? Or is it a siren song that will slow your growth? Matt Bertulli (CEO, Pela Case and Lomi), Mike Beckham (CEO, Simple Modern), and Curtis Matsko (CEO, Portland Leather Goods) dig into two of the most expensive decisions in ecommerce. Should you own your warehouse or outsource fulfillment to a 3PL? Can a founder ever truly step back from the company they built? They break down the owned warehouse versus 3PL debate, covering when flexibility beats cost savings, and why high-growth brands get burned by leases. From there, the conversation shifts to founder identity and succession, what Tim Cook's Apple exit and Doug McMillon's Walmart departure reveal about leadership transitions, and why the skills that built your company can quietly become the thing holding it back.

What if burnout isn't a sign you're doing too much — but a sign you've forgotten who you are? In episode 264 of Joy Found Here, Dr. Rebecca Hubbard, licensed clinical psychologist and TEDx speaker, brings her own hard-won burnout story to the table — from a thyroid diagnosis to burning out again despite doing all the "right" things — and reveals why the real fix isn't another self-care routine. It's an identity shift.In This Episode, You Will Learn:(03:15) How a basketball scholarship brought Rebecca from Berlin to the U.S. — and planted the seeds of burnout (05:30) The thyroid diagnosis that forced her first real recalibration (07:03) Why self-care alone wasn't enough — and burning out again during the pandemic (08:46) The identity shift at the heart of burnout recovery (10:48) How social, cultural, and professional identities intersect to fuel over-functioning (13:15) Why slowing down is medicine — and what comedic yoga taught her about it (22:32) Micro self-care in action: three practical strategies for overwhelmed moms (26:00) The real definition of burnout — and why interrupting chronic stress is the key (38:01) Why reading for pleasure (not self-improvement) is a radical act against hustle culture (42:38) The shift from proving to choosing — and what that looks like in real lifeDr. Rebecca Hubbard is a licensed clinical psychologist, burnout prevention specialist, and TEDx speaker based in Chicago, Illinois. With over a decade of clinical practice, she works with high-responsibility professionals navigating chronic stress, identity pressure, and performance expectations, drawing on research in race and resilience and a mindfulness-integrated approach. She is also an award-winning comedic yoga instructor who offers individual therapy, virtual workshops, and small-group sessions to help people break burnout cycles for good.In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hubbard reframes burnout not as a self-care or time management problem, but as an identity issue rooted in the stories we've absorbed about our worth — from family, culture, and profession. Drawing on her own burnout journey (including a thyroid diagnosis and burning out again during the pandemic despite having all the "right" boundaries in place), she introduces the concept of micro self-care: mindful everyday tasks, maximizing actual breaks, and reducing stress in daily transitions. She and Stephanie also explore motherhood, perfectionism, and the systemic barriers that make rest harder to access — closing with a powerful reminder to move from proving to choosing who you want to become.Connect with Dr Rebecca Hubbard:WebsiteInstagramLinkedInMediumLet's Connect:WebsiteInstagram Hosted on Acast.

Send us Fan MailLast week, we talked about some of the biggest differences between struggling medical groups and high-performing organizations. We discussed long-term thinking, strategic staffing, operational intelligence, investment philosophy, and diversified revenue streams.And today, we're continuing that conversation — because once organizations begin growing successfully, entirely new challenges emerge. Growth sounds exciting. But growth without infrastructure creates chaos very quickly. And high-performing organizations understand that scaling successfully requires discipline.Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

A birthday celebration. A vulnerable young man. And a night of cruelty that would leave a community demanding answers.When Steven Simpson turned eighteen, he had every reason to celebrate. Openly gay, living independently despite autism, epilepsy, and other challenges, Steven had worked hard to build a life on his own terms. But what began as a gathering of friends in his South Yorkshire flat quickly spiraled into something far darker. As the night unfolded, humiliation, bullying, and violence blurred the line between a cruel joke and a devastating tragedy. In this LGBTQ+ true crime podcast episode, we examine a case that shocked the United Kingdom, sparked outrage among disability and LGBTQ+ advocates, and raised difficult questions about hate crimes, justice, and the way vulnerable people are treated by society. More than a gay murder case, Steven's story remains a haunting reminder of how prejudice and indifference can have fatal consequences.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light, all with a cold one in hand.Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we uncover the darkest corners of LGBTQ+ history.

FORGED IN THE FIRE: YOU WILL NOT BE BURNED • Friday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give 1. The Fire Is Not Proof God Left You. It's Proof He Chose You 1 Peter 4:12-13 (NKJV) “Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.” 2. The Fire Reveals What Is Real 1 Corinthians 3:13 (NKJV) “Each one's work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is.” 3. The Enemy Meant to Destroy You, But God Is Refining You Zechariah 13:9 (NKJV) “I will bring the one-third through the fire, will refine them as silver is refined, and test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘This is My people'; and each one will say, ‘The Lord is my God.'” 4. There Is Another Man in the Fire Daniel 3:24-25 (NKJV) “Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; and he rose in haste and spoke, saying to his counselors, ‘Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?' They answered and said to the king, ‘True, O king.' ‘Look!' he answered, ‘I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.'” 5. The Fire Cannot Burn What God Has Blessed Isaiah 43:2 (NKJV) “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you.” 6. The Fire Burns Off What Doesn't Belong Malachi 3:2-3 (NKJV) “But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire and like launderers' soap. He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer to the Lord an offering in righteousness.” 7. The Fire Produces Unshakable Faith James 1:2-4 (NKJV) “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” 8. The Fire Is Producing Glory Romans 8:18 (NKJV) “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” 9. The Fire Creates Warriors Psalm 144:1 (NKJV) “Blessed be the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle— my lovingkindness and my fortress, my high tower and my deliverer, my shield and the One in whom I take refuge, who subdues my people under me.” 10. Those Who Endure the Fire Will Carry Revival Romans 5:3-5 (NKJV) “And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”

A forest lookout sits alone in a glass tower at 2AM and spots flames crowning two distant pines — a fire only he can see. By dawn there's no smoke, no ash, no scorched earth... and no fire at all. From phantom flames that burn and vanish to the burned Bigfoot pulled from a Nevada blaze and the UFOs caught streaking through wildfire smoke, tonight we wander into the strange and unsettling things that appear when the forests burn.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and full transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/ghostflamesREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yjwtx7awFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: The author of Frankenstein always saw love and death as connected.

(Ghostly Happenings In My Old Apartment) *** The July 1886 murder at the Shawmut Avenue laundry was so shrouded in mystery that even the victim's name was uncertain. (The Wash-House Murder) *** Ghosts, high strangeness, and even Bigfoot – it appears they may all have something in common, and that would be forest fires.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: March, 2021Weird Darkness opens a fire-themed descent that runs from a vanished forest blaze in 1976 Idaho through ghosts, Bigfoot, and UFOs born of wildfires, into Mary Shelley's graveyard education, a gentle apartment haunting, and an unsolved 1886 Boston murder.It opens with a U.S. Forest Service lookout stationed atop Pilot Peak in the Payette National Forest near Warren, high above the South Fork of the Salmon River, who woke sleepless at two a.m. in July 1976 and saw a bright orange triangle near a distant crest, then confirmed through binoculars two huge trees crowning out with flame. He calculated an azimuth with his fire-finder, radioed a two- to four-acre fire to the station fifteen air miles away, and watched it recede and vanish completely within forty minutes, leaving no smoke, no flame, and no charred ground at dawn six air miles out. Supervisors dubbed it the Pilot Peak phantom fire and sent smokejumper aircraft and hotshot crews to circle the ridge for nearly a week without finding a trace, until two months later a thousand-acre blaze on Zena Creek burned in roughly the same location he had reported.From there the episode widens into wildfires laced with the paranormal, beginning with the Curve Fire that struck South Mount Hawkins in the San Gabriel Mountains of California's Angeles National Forest on September 1, 2002, traced to a brittle 1935 wooden lookout tower and rumored to follow a cult ritual, after which hikers reported eyeless animals with hardened flesh and tall shadow figures akin to the Dark Watchers. It moves to the Battle Mountain Complex Fire near Battle Mountain, Nevada on August 6, 1999, where a letter forwarded to the Bigfoot Field Research Organization and a later call to investigator Thom Powell described firefighters capturing a burned, roughly seven-and-a-half-foot creature with a strong equine odor and near-human features. It closes with a July 2014 wildfire at West Kelowna near Vancouver, Canada, where a Castanet news video appeared to show an object shooting from a cloud, and a 2017 sighting by Arthur Frenette in New Hampshire's White Mountains, who watched a ball of fire plunge into Kinsman Ridge ahead of an out-of-control blaze.Next the episode turns to Mary Shelley, who in her 1831 introduction to Frankenstein traced her writing to her literary parents, though her mother, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman author Mary Wollstonecraft, died of puerperal fever days after her birth when Dr. Poignand removed the placenta with unwashed hands. Raised partly at her mother's grave in the St. Pancras churchyard, where she read her mother's work and escaped a strained home after father William Godwin remarried, the teenage Mary met Percy Shelley through the household and, at sixteen, declared love and reportedly first had sex among the tombstones. That fusion of reading, death, and forbidden knowledge surfaces in Victor Frankenstein's graveyard study of decay and in Godwin's 1809 Essay on Sepulchres, which framed visiting the illustrious dead as a form of communion the daughter carried into her novel of a creature assembled from corpses.From there the tone softens with a benign haunting recounted by a woman named Cassie, who moved into a larger, better-kept apartment over Christmas 2018 and lived there three months before moving in with her boyfriend. The internet blinked off repeatedly, cell reception failed in parts of the unit, electrical sockets quit working, bulbs burned out fast, and the shower switched itself on while she was away at classes. One night around one a.m. she and her boyfriend both heard the pitter-patter of bare feet in the kitchen, yet she never felt threatened, and when she left she said goodbye to whatever shared the space with her.The episode closes with the Wash-House Murder, the July 1886 killing of a Chinese laundryman found stabbed fourteen times in his Shawmut Avenue laundry in Boston's South End, his braided queue cut off and the five hundred dollars he had saved for a return to China gone. The victim's name was never certain, printed variously as Bin Chong, Ding Chong, and Wong Kong, and the case drew the Boston Police into a Chinatown governed by rival companies named Moy, Ching, Lee, and Sing. Detectives questioned the violent Moy company leader Ah Moy Chong and brought in New York interpreter Warry S. Charles, but the murder was never solved, and Charles himself was convicted of first-degree murder in 1908 after importing hatchet-armed assassins as a tong leader, leaving four dead in Chinatown.

DESCRIPTION: The Onion's plan to take over Infowars looks to have succeeded at last. A judge in Rhode Island became the fifth to reject the DOJ's voter roll grab. But Harmeet Dhillon, head of the DOJ's Civil Rights Division, is undeterred. Now she's trying to snatch ballots from Wayne County, Michigan. Trump's Justice Department is negotiating with Trump's lawyers to decide how much taxpayer money to pay Trump for the illegal disclosure of his tax returns in 2020. The statutory max is $1,000 per return. He wants $10 billion. The DOJ has hired Joe diGenova, a Reagan-era US Attorney, to spice up the grand conspiracy investigation into all Trump's enemies taking place in Florida under the watchful eye of Judge Aileen Cannon. And Pennsylvania's intermediate appellate court rules that the state's ban on abortion coverage under Medicaid violates both the Pennsylvania Equal Rights Amendment and the state constitution's equal protection provisions. MAIN SHOW: FBI Director (for now) Kash Patel is big mad over an article in The Atlantic reporting that his drinking is freaking out everyone around him. He's rounded up wonderweasel lawyer Jesse Binnall and filed a defamation trollsuit in DC. This will be amazing content, and we are grateful in advance! And we'll break down the blockbuster article from the New York Times on Chief Justice Roberts' invention of the modern shadow docket ten years ago to stop the "emergency" of states being asked to come up with a way to reduce carbon emissions. The Times got the receipts, and they are ugly. So much for Mister Balls and Strikes! SUBSCRIBERS: Alan Dershowitz is indulging his humiliation kink at the Supreme Court. He's asking the justices to overturn the actual malice standard from New York Times v. Sulllivan so he can sue CNN for reporting what he said during Trump's first impeachment. Are his arguments good? NO. Are they hilarious? HELL YES. The Onion Has a New Plan to Take Over Infowars https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/20/business/infowars-alex-jones-the-onion.html US v.

Upon inspection, he left a letter on his desk recounting the childhood experience (and delusions) that earned him his place in the hospital.

For Officer Tucker, years of patrolling the lonely highways and forgotten backroads of rural Kansas have taught him that most late-night calls end with paperwork, not nightmares. But when a report of trespassers draws him to the charred remains of an abandoned grain elevator, he stumbles into something far older—and far more disturbing—than simple criminal activity.

You look successful. You hit the meetings, hype the team, and put on the show. But behind closed doors, the fire is dim. Darren Hardy gets blunt about that quiet drift, naming what's actually happening when high performers feel numb at the top of their game and what it costs if it's ignored. One match can burn a whole forest. This one decision, outlined in this episode, decides whether you keep drifting through your routine or relight the version of you that started all this.

Stacy chats with Courtney Townley, host of the Grace & Grit podcast, author of The Consistency Code, and a certified life, nutrition, and strength coach, to delve into the realities of midlife stress, hormonal changes, burnout, and the pressure to “do it all.” They explore why consistency matters more than perfection, how wellness culture often overcomplicates health, and the small, sustainable habits that can help women feel better without adding more to their already full plates. Sometimes the next right step isn't a complete life overhaul. It's one small change you can actually sustain.

For twenty-five years, Janet Wishart let all of Aberdeen believe she was a witch — until the day the authorities finally decided to find out what she was capable of admitting under questioning.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and full transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/AberdeenWitchFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Janet Wishart loved practicing her evil Satanic magic – and equally loved boasting about it; something you really shouldn't do if you happen to live in the days of the Great Scottish Witch Hunt. (Janet Wisharts's Witchy Ways) *** Have you ever seen the movie “Going In Style” about some retired elderly men deciding to do one last robbery just to see if they had the stuff? Whether you watched the 1979 original or the 2017 remake, the premise is hilarious and fun. But apparently several men in 2015 decided to do it for real – and almost walked away with $200-million in cash and jewels! (The Grandpa Gang Jewel Robbery) *** The encounter of Gerry Anderson is one of the most intriguing claims of alien abduction in the United Kingdom. Not least as he wouldn't fully recall the incident that occurred in the early 1950s when he was a 12-year-old boy until decades later under hypnotic regression. (The Alien Abduction of Gerry Anderson) *** In November, 1980 the MGM Grand in Las Vegas caught fire, claiming numerous lives. Decades later we learn what went wrong, how it can be avoided in the future, and we hear the haunting details of what happened during the fire – as well as the hauntings that are taking place even now so many years later.
