Ask Me How I Know: Multifamily Investor Stories of Struggle to Success
High performance often leads to pressure, bracing, and identity drift. This episode reveals how high achievers move from survival-driven excellence into grounded, high-capacity presence. Learn why reducing identity load—not adding discipline—creates real freedom.Why does high performance eventually feel like pressure instead of possibility?In this episode, Julie unpacks the identity and nervous system map behind the shift from high performer to High Capacity Human, showing why bracing becomes your default and how alignment—not more discipline—creates the internal expansion you've been craving.You'll learn how three types of load quietly accumulate beneath your success:• Cognitive Load — the tasks you track, manage, and anticipate• Emotional Load — the responsibilities you hold for others• Identity Load — the version of you that performs instead of expressesTogether, these loads create the pressure, sympathetic activation, and identity margin that make even good seasons feel heavier than they should.Julie breaks down the difference between negative drive (pressure, vigilance, survival) and positive drive (presence, grounded clarity, internal safety), offering a transformational reframe:Capacity isn't what you produce —It's who you become when your life and identity finally match.This episode helps high-capacity humans name:• why they brace even when nothing is wrong• why performance feels safer than presence• why approval, excellence, and responsibility became identity• why calm feels unfamiliar• the emotional and physiological signs of identity margin• how reducing identity load increases internal capacity• why capacity begins where bracing endsThis conversation also clarifies why mindset work and productivity tools are insufficient for true change.Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) goes deeper — past habits, past hacks, past performance patterns — into the root of who you are.It's not another strategy.It's the foundational identity shift that makes every other tool effective again.Micro Recalibration (Individuals + Teams)Ask yourself:“Which version of me is carrying the most load — and which part of that load is no longer mine?”Notice:• What shifts in your posture or breath when you step into that version?• What would 2% less bracing feel like in that moment?Team Extension:“What unspoken expectations shape how we perform — and what would change if we valued presence over pressurIf this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Scaling isn't just about strategy, it's about capacity. Yet, I find our industry is often missing so much nuance when it comes to the conversation around capacity. In this solo episode, I dive deep into what it actually means to grow your capacity without burning out or over-functioning. We'll talk about the two types of capacity that are required to expand and grow and what order you need to address them in. This is hard-won information from my own growth journey and working with so many clients that have scaled to seven figure years and beyond. In this episode, you'll hear: • Why expanding your capacity is such a misunderstood topic IMO • The two types of support required to actually scale (in a way that won't leave you crispy) • The most important question to ask yourself to figure out where things need to shift for you • The most common blocks that limit your ability to expand • Why there actually is a *right* order to move in if you want to shift your capacity quickly • What it looks like to build capacity for both challenges and joy Episode Links Join my Facebook group Connect with Molly on Instagram Learn more about Molly on her website If you're enjoying the coaching you're hearing, check out my Ultimate Mini Course to Maximizing Results in 1:1 Coaching to learn the proven strategies & foundational tools for creating an in-demand container that gets your clients real results

In this episode of the FreightWaves Morning Minute, we break down the conflicting economic signals heading into 2026 as plummeting operational costs collide with tightening capacity. Benchmark diesel falls again as oil market selloff picks up steam, with crude futures dipping below $60 per barrel even as retail pump prices struggle to catch up to the drop. Capacity pressures are intensifying from factories to fulfillment centers, as more layoffs hit U.S. supply chain, including over 4,200 recent job cuts at major companies like Ford and Great Dane. These structural reductions highlight a market realignment that goes beyond typical seasonal dips, creating significant capacity constraints across the sector. New government data reveals that truck transportation jobs last month were the lowest in years, dropping to levels not seen since June 2021. Despite this decline in employment, the capacity squeeze has pushed the average hourly wage for non-supervisory trucking employees to a record high of $31.40. Learn more about your ad choices.

You don't need another breakthrough. You don't need another awakening. You don't need another insight. And you definitely don't need another method that works for three weeks and then collapses.What you may need is an integrated operating system.In this episode of Fire and Soul, I sit down with my dear friend and Transformational Leader Pavel Aeon for a grounded, uncompromising conversation about what happens after awakening, when growth outpaces the body, the nervous system, and the life structures meant to hold it.For the first time publicly, Pavel shares System Upgrade, and it is a genuine honor for me to be the place where this conversation is happening. System Upgrade is a monthly live summit with practical protocols and a global community for real transformation, created for high vibe freedom seekers who are ready to stabilize growth and live what they know.This is a yearlong global journey designed to support physical, emotional, mental, relational, and spiritual integration throughout 2026. Not as a promise of transformation, but as a way to stabilize change so growth no longer comes at the cost of burnout, isolation, or collapse.We talk honestly about the four phases of real transformation. Wake up. Clean up. Power up. Rest up. We explore why so many people cycle between expansion and exhaustion, how breath functions as a direct regulatory tool rather than a performance practice, and the quiet grief that often comes with outgrowing relationships, identities, and old ways of living.This conversation is not about becoming more spiritual. It's about becoming more capable of living what's already true.If you've felt the next chapter approaching and you're done paying for growth with your nervous system, this episode is for you.YOU'LL LEARN• Why repeated burnout is often a capacity issue rather than a personal failure• The four phases that determine whether transformation stabilizes or destabilizes• How breath supports regulation instead of performance• What happens when awakening outpaces the nervous system• Why relationships often change during periods of expansion• What Earth 2.0 actually means in everyday life• Who System Upgrade is designed for and why nowIf this conversation resonates, do not rush past that signal.System Upgrade is a yearlong global journey designed to support integration rather than peak experiences. You receive free access to monthly full day livestream summits, guided practices, weekly integration and coherence sessions, and a growing international community focused on sustainable evolution throughout 2026.This is not about becoming someone new.

Most people think they have a motivation problem, but what they really have is a capacity problem. They're not stuck because they can't do more… they're stuck because they don't have the space, clarity, or bandwidth to express the potential they already have. In this episode of Endurance Minded, Taylor Thomas breaks down the modern Capacity Crisis: why we chronically underestimate our mental, emotional, and energetic bandwidth, and how that leads to overwhelm, stagnation, and misalignment. You'll learn how to reclaim capacity, rebuild internal space, and finally operate at the level you know you're capable of. If you've ever thought, “I know I can do more, but I can't seem to actually DO it,” this episode will hit hard and give you the tools to change that starting today.

The Conscious Edge Podcast: Redefining Wealth as a Whole Human Experience
Strategy for nonprofits is not a plan to perfect but a human practice—built through care, curiosity, and intentional choices in the face of uncertainty. As the year draws to a close, episode 138 of Nonprofit Mission: Impact brings together reflections from a wide range of nonprofit leaders and thinkers, all responding to one central question: What should nonprofit leaders ask themselves to be more strategic? Across topics as varied as crisis management, equity, careers, evaluation, organizational design, culture, and innovation, a clear throughline emerges—strategy is deeply human work. Rather than offering abstract frameworks, the episode highlights: practical, grounding questions and practices that help leaders navigate uncertainty with clarity, intention, and care. An invitation to slow down, resist urgency, tend to themselves and their teams, Why it's important to surface assumptions, seek multiple perspectives, and make decisions rooted in both alignment and capacity. Together, these reflections offer a steadying guide for leaders facing complexity in the year ahead.

What if the real reason you struggle to focus, remember what you read, or follow through on your goals has nothing to do with willpower or intelligence and everything to do with your values?In this episode, I sit down with world renowned human behavior expert Dr. John Demartini to explore how your values quietly control what you pay attention to, how fast you learn, and whether you actually apply what you know.Dr. Demartini went from being a high school dropout with dyslexia and a speech impediment to reading over 30,000 books, teaching in more than 100 countries, and becoming one of the most respected thinkers in human behavior and values. In our conversation, he breaks down the exact process he used to rewire his brain, accelerate his learning, and turn struggle into mastery.You will learn how to discover your true highest values, why they decide what your brain lets in or filters out, and how to link any subject even the ones you “hate” to what matters most to you so you stop procrastinating and start progressing. John also shares a powerful framework for moving from debate to dialogue so you can dissolve polarization, think more objectively, and actually change your mind when it serves you.This conversation will show you how to align your learning with your deepest values so you can focus longer, remember more, and finally unlock your fullest potential./ / / Ready to upgrade your brain? / / /Choose your own adventure.

Jay and Andrew discuss real-world shop challenges like air quality, ventilation, coolant selection, and bandsaw blade performance. The conversation expands into capacity planning, why running at 100% utilization is a hidden liability, and how maintaining margin and flexibility allows shops to respond quickly when customers need help.Along the way, they touch on safety systems that fail when alerts are too distant from the problem, lessons from catastrophic industrial accidents, and why local, thoughtful gestures like good donuts or quality coffee build stronger vendor and customer relationships than generic (or just plain bad) corporate gifts.
Alexis and I drop into a conversation that lives in the body first.We talk about leaving the hard grind of the hypermasculine and slipping into a slower, fuller, more feminine way of feeling. She opens up about the night ayahuasca called her in, the decision to remove her IUD after twelve years, and how her libido and emotional depth surged back the moment she started listening to her body again.We get into the 10 second rule that pulls men into deeper honesty, the breath that pulls you out of survival mode, and the kind of softening that makes connection feel hotter, safer, and more true.This is a rich, grounded, sensual dive into desire, self-mastery, nervous system truth, and what happens when you finally let your body lead.Chapters:00:00 - Introduction01:22 - Self-Mastery & Shifting into the Feminine07:18 - Medicine vs. Escape09:42 - Communication Shifts After Softening11:09 - Heard, Helped, or Held?13:45 - Curiosity Over Defensiveness15:30 - Nervous System Regulation Tools20:02 - Polarity & Inspiring Masculine Presence24:30 - Enthusiasm: The Feminine Superpower27:25 - Setting Men Up to Win32:10 - Speaking Desires Clearly34:00 - Rebuilding Trust After Rupture40:10 - Truth-Telling & Emotional Clarity45:20 - Clarity in Dating & Relationships53:02 - Expanding the Capacity to Feel58:16 - Being Human & Remembering Why We're Here01:01:00 - ClosingConnect with Alexis: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexisquiterioWebsite: https://stan.store/alexisquiterioConnect with Kristin:WebsiteInstagramYouTube Kristin's Best-Selling Book:Sex, Drugs, & Soul on AmazonSpotify Audiobook LinkSubscribe to the Podcast:YouTubeSpotifyAppleFor 10% off pleasure goodies at WAANDS, use code SEXDRUGSSOUL.

This episode shifts the safety conversation from continuous improvement to continuous capacity, introducing a practical dashboard of 10 operational indicators—five system capacities (exposure to unforgiving energy, robustness of safeguards, error tolerance/recoverability, detectability of variance, and recovery capacity) and five human capacities (sensitivity to variation, frontline insight, quality of learning, psychological safety, and supervisor load). Host Todd Conklin explains how these measurable and observable indicators link engineering controls with human and organizational factors, and why monitoring them regularly helps leaders improve resilience and manage high‑risk operations more effectively.
Does your marketing disappear every time you take a break? You're not alone, and it's not a consistency problem.

And when you stop performing, your business stops breathing.In this episode, you'll discover:Why your marketing feels fragile (and it's not because you're inconsistent)The hidden cost of marketing that depends on you having good days all the timeHow long-form content creates business stability even when your life doesn't feel stableWhat happens when you anchor your business in a sustainable system instead of daily postsThree ways to build a marketing system that works when your capacity shiftsIf you're tired of feeling like you're rebuilding your marketing every three months, or you're scared to rest because your visibility will disappear, this episode will show you a different way. A way where your voice does the heavy lifting even when your body cannot.This episode is for you if:You disappear when you don't feel well and feel like you're starting over every time you come back.You want steady clients but can't keep up with posting or launching the way everyone says you should.You're scared to market because you don't know if you can handle leads on a flare week.You know you need to be consistent, but your energy just isn't predictable.You feel like you're working all the time but not seeing sustainable results.✨ Thank you for listening.

In this episode, I break down endurance as the strength to stay grounded while life applies pressure. Endurance is not intensity. Endurance is long-term stability. It is the ability to stay the course without slipping back into old patterns. I teach how endurance, resilience, and capacity work together. Resilience is the ability to get back up. Endurance is the ability to stay in it. Capacity is the internal space that determines how much you can hold without breaking. When these three grow together, you move out of survival and into real internal strength. I also expose how emotional junk food weakens all three. The quick hits that comfort you short term but shrink your ability to hold real pressure long term. This episode gives you a grounded, practical framework for building endurance, expanding capacity, and developing the long-term strength required to hold the life you are asking for. Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

For decades, Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs has rigorously explored the tension between perpetual conflict and the value of human life.

The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) is launching a new call under the EIT Higher Education Initiative to boost STEM education and shape Europe's future workforce. For the first time, the call will also strengthen cooperation between its Knowledge and Innovation Communities and the European Universities alliances. The 2025 EIT Higher Education Initiative's call for proposals will strengthen the innovation and entrepreneurship capacity of Europe's STEM talent pipeline, contributing to the EU Union of Skills, in particular to the STEM Education Strategic Plan. It will train 200 000 Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) students, academics, and non-academic staff in innovation, entrepreneurship, and intellectual property management by 2028. With a total budget of up to €70 million and up to €2 million per selected project over 24 months (2026-2028), it is the largest call under this initiative so far. It will strengthen innovation and entrepreneurship in STEM fields, while also inviting the European Universities Alliances to deepen their collaboration with Europe's largest innovation ecosystem. The EIT Higher Education Initiative strengthens Europe's innovation capacity by helping universities work with industry, develop talent, and support startups - already empowering over 500 HEIs, 118,000 learners, and 2,000 ventures. €70 million to strengthen capacity of Europe's STEM talent pipeline Roxana Mînzatu, Executive Vice-President for Social Rights and Skills, Quality Jobs and Preparedness, said 'Europe's future depends on people - on the skills, creativity, and resilience of our students, academic staff, and researchers. With this new call, we are investing directly in them, empowering universities to equip the next generation of innovators and entrepreneurs with the future-ready skills Europe needs. By advancing our Union of Skills and the EU's STEM Education Strategic Plan, we are turning Europe's talent into our greatest strategic advantage.' Ekaterina Zaharieva, Commissioner for Startups, Research and Innovation, said 'Europe's universities have the potential to be powerful engines of innovation, helping students and researchers turn ideas into ventures that shape our future. Focused on the early stages of the innovation journey, this programme supports them in translating knowledge into real impact. With its strong emphasis on STEM, it contributes to the Startup and Scaleup Strategy and strengthens Europe's ability to scale breakthrough ideas.' Martin Kern, EIT Director, said 'Europe's future competitiveness depends on our ability to turn knowledge into impact. We want to strengthen the bridge between universities, business, and research empowering STEM talent and institutions to translate ideas into new solutions, which lead to new companies and jobs. By investing in skills and partnerships, the EIT is ensuring that Europe remains at the forefront of innovation and entrepreneurship.' Consortia of higher education institutions, businesses, research institutes, public bodies and other non-academic organisations are encouraged to prepare their applications by consulting the full call text and connecting with potential partners through a matchmaking platform. A new interactive guide will help applicants check their eligibility and readiness to apply. Info sessions in December 2025 and January 2026 will provide practical guidance on the process, project focus areas, and collaboration opportunities (information will be available here). Consortia can submit their applications until 4 March 2026, 17:00 CET, with the selected projects to be announced later in 2026.

December 10, 2025: Today's episode breaks down the forces reshaping work right now: more than 1.1 million layoffs across the U.S. economy, bank CEOs signaling that AI will replace foundational tasks, engineering leaders using AI to reveal performance gaps, new Harvard research showing AI agents taking over cognitive work, a widening leadership-capacity gap, and the rise of AI-native people management platforms like Shapes. We explore what each story means for talent, leadership, and the future of work.

In this episode, you'll hear: • Why her launch results during a chaotic time are a BIG deal (and what drove them) • The reality of holding more people as you scale, and the questions to ask yourself immediately • The ways hypervigilance shows up when your audience and client base grows fast • How to build in safety nets for feedback and engagement • The reminder that changed Molly's whole perspective on when to get sh*t done and when to take time for herself • The tension between wanting it all and prioritizing what actually matters Episode Links Join my Facebook group Connect with Molly on Instagram Learn more about Molly on her website If you're enjoying the coaching you're hearing, check out my Ultimate Mini Course to Maximizing Results in 1:1 Coaching to learn the proven strategies & foundational tools for creating an in-demand container that gets your clients real results
Real love is often not what we think it is and it takes some time to understand it fully. We build all kind of neuroses in our best efforts to experience love and don't reach the point where we experience boundless unconditional love in its true form. Equanimity, love, compassion and appreciative joy are the four states of divine abidings that spontaneously arise in us as a reflection of the degree to which we remove the hindrances that bring us to suffering. We can actively mature our capacity for love. This is the path of love.
Has your nervous system been saying, “Ma'am, we are at capacity” ?On today's episode, Sam talks candidly about hitting her upper limits in real time: leading a rapidly growing podcast company, holding big vision with God, navigating marriage and support with Kurt, and realizing her biggest challenge isn't more… it's learning how to hold more. From full-body meltdowns to bath-time cries to realizing she still struggles to ask for help, Samantha walks you through how she's navigating this season instead of pretending she has the polished three-step solution.Using fitness, ultra-running, and lifting as metaphors, she breaks down how growth actually works: your “muscles” tear first, then you rebuild stronger. You'll hear how she's zooming out to make smarter decisions, building team and systems, and learning to trust herself, God, and her capacity — while reminding you that your limit is probably a lot higher than you think.If you're in a season of rapid expansion, big opportunities, and “good problems” that still feel like a lot, this one will feel like a deep exhale and a firm hand on your back saying: You're not crazy, you're just growing.Key Topics DiscussedWhat it really feels like to hit your max capacity as a founder and leaderThe difference between wanting more and being resourced to hold moreNervous system tools, regulation, and why your body “freaks out” when things explodePreparing your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual body for a bigger missionA birthday honey roast, a long speaker day, and the bathtub breakdown that cracked things openLearning to fully receive support from a partner (without guilt or flinching)The deeper challenge of asking for help when you don't even know what you needBeing the “go-to” friend… and realizing you also get to lean on your peopleIn the business vs. on the business: zooming out to strategize, hire, and systematizeThe isolating side of “everything is working” and the pressure of holding fast growthOperating from your “next level” identity and bringing her into your current realityWhy your perceived capacity is usually way lower than your actual capacityFitness and ultra-running as a mirror for business resilience and self-trustOvercommitting, rescheduling, and releasing the shame of moving things on your calendarLearning to batch, build systems, and create white space to thinkDifferentiating between energy faucets (what fills you) and drains (what leaks you)The slingshot effect: pulling back to reset so you can break through the next ceilingShare this episode with your overachiever friends.

Text them this episode so they know they're not the only one maxing out and moving through it.Reflect on your real capacity. Grab a journal and ask: What's actually draining me? What's truly filling me? Where am I underestimating my ability to hold more? Use this as a starting point to adjust your commitments, support, and systems.Audit your support systems.

Isaiah 40:28–31. When exhaustion twists our view of God, the storm feels final, our limits feel fatal, and hope feels out of reach. But Scripture shows a different story: God doesn't answer weariness with sentiment, He answers it with revelation, exchange, and Spirit-given endurance. This Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey walks us through soaring, running, and walking as Isaiah reveals them not as metaphors for self-effort, but as pictures of what happens when we braid our lives into God's strength. In the storm, grace lifts us. In the race, purpose steadies us. In the ordinary, Jesus Himself becomes our strength.

After four months away, I'm back — and I'm telling the truth about why I ghosted the pod. 2025 has been a snake-year of shedding: I dropped the identity of “the woman who holds it all together,” named my over-functioning for what it is, and watched my marriage hit an honest, necessary reckoning. I walk you through the spell of over/under-functioning — how it's wired by nervous systems, patriarchy, and the overculture — and why moralizing it never changes anything. You'll hear the experiment that changed everything for us, what “authentic functioning” looks like, and why I'm inviting you into BRILLIANT to do this work in your own life and relationships.Workshop mentioned:Brilliant: The Somatic Intelligence of Over- & Under-Functioning — live on Tuesday, Dec 9 at 5:00 pm US/Central on Zoom. Ticket: $99. Replay included if purchased before the workshop. Includes a special discount for the upcoming Crucible relational membership/mastermind. (See link in show notes or lindseylockett.com/brilliant.) What we cover in this episode:Why 2025 became a deep identity shed—and why “over-functioner” was a survival adaptation, not the goal.The link between evangelical conditioning, overculture (capitalism/patriarchy), and women's chronic over-functioning.Mental load vs. over-functioning: why the hashtag data misses the full pattern.Burnout and “survival creativity”: when output becomes self-exploitation.The July rupture, naming under-functioning, and beginning “purposeful under-functioning.”Nervous-system framing: fight/flight-dominant over-functioners, freeze-dominant under-functioners, and why dopamine hits keep the cycle going.Capacity audits at home and in emotions: tailor shared spaces to the partner with lower capacity in that context; slow emotional pacing to the partner with lower capacity there.The reframe that works: from “What's wrong with you?” to “Why did your body choose this strategy?”—and how that breaks shame.Instagram posts mentioned:1. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRm85RTkcaf/2. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRpJbERjbCN/

It's December—the month where you're simultaneously reflecting on what didn't happen this year, feeling the pressure of holiday obligations, and scrolling through everyone else's highlight reels wondering where you went wrong. But here's what nobody's talking about: you're not actually behind. You're just finally slowing down enough to notice that you've been operating on autopilot, crushing deadlines for everyone else while quietly disconnecting from yourself. In this episode we dive into:• Why December is the perfect time to reconnect with yourself instead of waiting for January's magic reset• The subtle patterns that have you functioning at full capacity but feeling completely disconnected• How to build momentum through micro-decisions rather than massive goal-setting• Why upgrading your capacity matters infinitely more than upgrading your goalsThe Pattern You're Not Seeing• You're high-functioning, self-sufficient, and checking every box—except the ones that actually matter to you• The water bottle got smaller, the emails ran later, the meal prep stopped happening, and suddenly you're chugging water at 10pm wondering how you got here• These aren't dramatic failures—they're tiny compromises that snowballed while you were too busy functioning to notice• December hits and you finally slow down enough to realize you haven't been living the way you planned to liveThe Real Work of Reconnection• This isn't about January's fresh start—it's about asking yourself right now what you let slide that genuinely helps you• The domino effect starts with one decision: finishing emails 30 minutes earlier to cook a real meal, blocking calendar time for walks before daylight savings steals your motivation, actually looking at your week instead of white-knuckling through it• Your routines didn't fail you—life transitions happened (new jobs, relationships ending, goals being met) and the non-negotiables that felt automatic suddenly required more intention• The people who feel best in January made solid decisions in December, not because they're superhuman but because they stopped postponing their own livesWhy Capacity Beats Goals Every Time• If you're running on fumes, what exactly do you have to give to those lofty goals you're about to set?• Capacity is eating enough, drinking enough water, sleeping enough, not scrolling between meetings, giving yourself five minutes to walk even if you can't do thirty• When your capacity rises, everything becomes easier—not because you're forcing habits but because you can actually handle what you're asking of yourself• Pick one thing this week that supports your capacity, and watch how it makes everything else you're juggling feel lighterThis conversation reminds us that there is no such thing as being too late to come back to yourself. Whether you're beating yourself up for another year of unmet expectations or already dreading January's pressure to fix everything at once, this episode offers the practical insights and emotional permission to start reconnecting right now—not when the calendar flips, but today.Follow Krysta:@thekrystahuber@thefitnessfyx
In this replay episode, I'm sitting down with certified coach and first-gen eldest daughter Nikkei Lamodi, to talk about what it really looks like to be an eldest daughter or late bloomer living with chronic illness and running a business.We get into the invisible pressure of being the “strong one,” why eldest daughters are so prone to people-pleasing, perfectionism, and over-responsibility, and how all of that bleeds into your business, your boundaries, and your body.Nikkei shares her story of caregiving, grief, chronic illness diagnosis, and the moment she realized she was sacrificing her time, money, and desires for everyone else. From there, she walks us through her four “eldest daughter skills” that help you protect your capacity instead of burning it out:Direct communication with graceBoundary care (boundaries that are for you, not rules for other people)Talking to yourself like a best friendAsking “What else is true? What else is possible?”If you're an eldest daughter or late bloomer navigating chronic illness, family expectations, and the pressure to hold everyone together while growing a business… this conversation will make you feel so seen.
===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for December 5th Publish Date: December 5th Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Friday, December 5th and Happy Birthday to Walt Disney I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Daniel Gaddis elected to Marietta City Council Proposed Atlanta Road apartments delayed amid safety, school capacity concerns Honorees announced for 41st annual Tribute to Women of Achievement Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on carrots All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: INGLES 4 STORY 1: Daniel Gaddis elected to Marietta City Council City planner Daniel Gaddis clinched the Ward 3 Marietta City Council seat Tuesday night, defeating life coach Nora Gaudet in the runoff election. With all precincts reporting, Gaddis secured 698 votes (64.15%) to Gaudet’s 390 (35.85%). The results will be certified Dec. 8. “It’s been a long road, but we worked hard and had incredible support,” Gaddis said, reflecting on a campaign that reached over 3,500 voters. Still, he admitted the race wasn’t without challenges, particularly the push to label him politically. “Parks, sidewalks, public safety—these aren’t partisan issues,” he said. Gaudet, who moved to Georgia five years ago, acknowledged the uphill battle of being a “wild card” candidate. “I didn’t have deep connections here,” she said, adding that campaigning through the holidays was exhausting. “People are tired by a runoff—they just want it over.” Both candidates highlighted inequities in Marietta, from neglected neighborhoods to housing affordability. Gaddis spoke of the need to preserve Marietta’s charm while addressing real issues like homelessness and unsafe streets. Gaudet, meanwhile, emphasized the voices of overlooked residents. “We’ve done great work,” Gaudet said. “And I hope those quiet voices finally get heard.” STORY 2: Proposed Atlanta Road apartments delayed amid safety, school capacity concerns After hearing concerns about traffic and overcrowding, the Cobb County Planning Commission hit pause Tuesday on a proposed 249-unit apartment complex at Atlanta Road and I-285. The decision? Delayed until February. Flournoy Development Group wants to rezone 3.79 acres to build the rental apartments—mostly one-bedrooms—but the project’s sparked pushback. Locals worry about traffic, U-turn safety, and overcrowding at Nickajack Elementary, which is already 269 students over capacity. Attorney Kevin Moore, representing Flournoy, said the plan has been revised: fewer units (down from 274), shorter building height along Atlanta Road, and a parking deck tucked into the five-story section near the interstate. But traffic remains a sticking point. Residents like Nat Milburn, from Olde Ivy at Vinings, raised alarms about U-turns, claiming the project could add 500 daily U-turns and spike accidents by 800%. Moore dismissed the data as “opinion,” but Planning Chair Nadia Faucette wasn’t sold. “I’m for the project, but safety’s a big concern,” she said. The commission will revisit the case Feb. 3, giving Flournoy time to address traffic, signage, and other community concerns. STORY 3: Honorees announced for 41st annual Tribute to Women of Achievement LiveSafe Resources, a Marietta-based shelter for domestic violence survivors, has revealed the honorees for its 41st annual Tribute to Women of Achievement. Every year, the organization celebrates 15 women who’ve made waves—personally, professionally, and through volunteer work. One will be crowned 2026 Woman of the Year at the awards gala on March 20 at the Atlanta Marriott Northwest. This year’s honorees include leaders like Cobb Solicitor General Makia Metzger, Braves exec DeRetta Rhodes, and Judge Jaret Usher. The gala will feature dinner, auctions, and awards like the Pat Head Dignity Award for public safety and the Kim Gresh Survivor’s Award, honoring a survivor whose story inspires.

Break: INGLES 4 STORY 4: Carlyle Kent reelected to Marietta City Council Councilman Carlyle Kent is staying put in Ward 5, clinching reelection with a commanding 80.49% of the vote over challenger and former Councilman Reggie Copeland, who pulled in just 19.51%. Unofficial results show Kent received 495 votes to Copeland’s 120, with all precincts reporting. The results will be certified Dec. 8. This race felt like déjà vu—Kent unseated Copeland back in 2021. “My neighbors pushed me to run four years ago because they felt the ward wasn’t being represented well,” Kent said Tuesday, surrounded by family, friends, and supporters who cheered as the final numbers came in. Kent credited his team’s hard work—canvassing, phone banking, and connecting with newly redistricted voters—for the win. “I’m always optimistic, but it’s humbling to see that support,” he said, adding, “I give thanks to the Lord for putting the right people in my life.” Looking ahead, Kent said his focus remains on improving Ward 5. “I want to leave it better than I found it.” STORY 5: Wheeler to host big-name programs in Tournament of Champions SPORTS UPDATE Wheeler’s boys basketball team will host the Tournament of Champions Holiday Classic on Saturday, featuring 16 top teams from Georgia and beyond.
