Rebecca Bailin, executive director of New Yorkers United for Child Care, talks about Governor Hochul and Mayor Mamdani's announcement on their proposed universal 2-Care program which would provide free child care for New York City's 2-year-olds, and her work advocating for child care in New York.

The lack of empathy in today's society, especially in America, is out of control. NO one seems to care when Harm comes to other people. People Literally don't care and I'm fed up with it. It's traumatizing to wake up everyday with something else going on.

The North Face's iconic Summit Series collection has not only been a part of some of the greatest athletic feats of the past 25 years, it's also had a major influence on the technical apparel we all use today.In this 2-for-1 conversation, Luke Koppa dives into its backstory, major milestones, and standout pieces with The North Face's Global Head of Innovation, Cory Olson. He also talks with the one and only Sage Cattabriga-Alosa to get his perspective as an athlete who's been involved with this series for its entire run — including how he went from hitting backcountry booters in the baggiest clothes he could find, to summiting high-altitude peaks in the most technical gear on the market.RELATED LINKS:Episode Sponsor: SnowbirdEpisode Sponsor: OpenSnowEnter Our Weekly Gear GiveawaysOur Blister Recommended ShopsJoin Us At Blister Summit 2026For BLISTER+ Members: Discounted Blister Summit RegistrationGet Yourself Covered with BLISTER+CHECK OUT OUR YOUTUBE CHANNELS:Blister Studios (our new channel)Blister Review (our original channel)TOPICS & TIMES:OpenSnow (2:09)Snowbird (4:25)Weekly Gear Giveaway (6:03)Sage's History w/ The North Face (7:10)Sage's Ah-Ha Moments w/ Apparel (23:00)Layering Evolution (36:30)Sage's Standout Products (40:56)Cory Olson's Role at The North Face (49:52)Historic and Throwback Pieces (54:14)Standouts Materials (56:36)Athlete Feedback & Design Impact (1:01:11)PFAS-Free Apparel: Present & Future (1:05:19)Care & Washing (1:10:20)Himalayan Suit (1:18:58)Summit Series x Streetwear (1:23:30)Future Projects (1:32:01)CHECK OUT OUR OTHER PODCASTS:Blister CinematicCRAFTEDBikes & Big IdeasBlister Podcast Hosted on Acast.

Synopsis:  In a powerful tribute to a fearless leader, friends and collaborators share stories of Alice Wong's unwavering commitment to centering disabled voices and challenging systemic inequality in all its forms.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription: Alice Wong lived longer than she expected, but not long enough. The celebrated disability activist lived by the principle that disability justice is integral to all liberation movements, and centered disabled stories with the Disability Visibility Project. When Alice Wong died on November 14 at the age of 51, people across social movements shared their grief and awe for her work, such as her bestselling 2022 memoir, “Year of the Tiger: An Activist's Life”. She has been called an oracle, visionary, unapologetic and fearless, and our guests, Wong's dear friends and collaborators, are committed to lifting up her legacy. Sandy Ho is the Executive Director of the Disability & Philanthropy Forum and partner with Alice Wong and Mia Mingus in the Access is Love campaign. She was asked by Alice Wong to post her letter after she passed, where Wong writes “. . . our wisdom is incisive and unflinching.” Steven Thrasher is an acclaimed journalist, professor and author of “The Viral Underclass: The Human Toll When Inequality & Disease Collide”. He was suspended from teaching classes after speaking out — as Wong also did — on Palestine. Join us as we celebrate Alice Wong and ask what is the work to be done when it comes to healthcare and civil rights for disabled people. Plus a commentary from Laura on imagining the next 100 years.“A lot of Alice's advocacy was focused around the systems that force disabled people to be at the margins . . . Whether it is the Black Lives Matter movement or the pandemic, we see the ways in which our society and political systems respond, and not in ways that prioritize those who are least privileged and have the least amount of power.” - Sandy Ho“I remember talking to [Alice Wong] about the ways she had been conditioned as a disabled Asian American woman to try to accept crumbs, to not complain, to be very docile. I thought that she was really brilliant in bridging together not just Asian American communities, but queer communities, LGBTQ communities, all the communities where your body is made to feel like it doesn't belong.” - Steven ThrasherGuests:• Sandy Ho: Executive Director, Disability & Philanthropy Forum• Steven Thrasher: Daniel Renberg Chair of Social Justice in Reporting, Northwestern University; Author, The Viral Underclass & The Overseer Class *Recommended books:“Year of the Tiger: An Activist's Life” by Alice Wong, *Get the book“The Viral Underclass: The Human Toll When Inequality and Disease Collide” by Steven Thrasher, *Get the book(*Bookshop is an online bookstore with a mission to financially support local, independent bookstores.

When a hospital stay or other occurrence reveals unexpected brain change, families are often forced to make fast care decisions without a clear roadmap. In this episode, Teepa Snow is joined by senior advisor Tim Walsh to unpack why knowing what you're shopping for matters—and how hands-on skill-building can change the way families, advisors, and communities support people living with dementia. When families are suddenly thrust into making care decisions, knowing how to help often matters more than knowing what to do. It's All in Your Approach® focuses on the practical, hands-on skills that change everyday interactions — reducing distress, building trust, and truly supporting the person living with brain change. This DVD reinforces the episode's message that informed choices and skill-building can transform care outcomes, even when families feel unprepared.

Episode Description: “What old person thing do you do?” That's how Sandy kicks off this wildly relatable episode of The Sandy Show, setting the stage for a morning packed with laughter, surprises, and a few jaw-dropping confessions.

Driving with a cold might seem harmless — but research suggests even mild illness can seriously impair reaction time, focus, and judgment. Could driving while sick actually be more dangerous than driving drunk? This episode begins with some surprising evidence about what happens when you get behind the wheel with a cold or flu. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2283323/Dont-sniffle-drive-Driving-cold-dangerous-drunk-driving.html Why do some people love foods that others can't stand? And why do foods you hated as a child sometimes become favorites later in life? Taste feels subjective, but it's driven by biology, psychology, memory, and expectation. Beth Kimmerle joins me to explain how taste and flavor really work — and how our preferences can change over time. Beth is a sensory science expert who literally tastes food for a living (yes, her tongue is insured). She's founder of Attribute Analytics and author of several books on sweets and flavor, including Chocolate: The Sweet History. (https://amzn.to/4s92MEB). Being a sports fan can feel deeply personal — victories feel like our wins, losses feel painful, and loyalty can last a lifetime. But why does sports fandom inspire such intense emotion? What psychological needs does it fulfill? And why do fans speak in terms of “we” instead of “they”? Aaron C.T. Smith explains what drives sports fandom and why being a fan can be so powerful. He is professor of management at Newcastle Business School, University of Newcastle, and author of The Psychology of Sports Fans.(https://amzn.to/49a5yRc) And finally — who wakes up grumpier in the morning, men or women? There actually is research on this, and it reveals some surprising insights into mood, sleep, and biology. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2292195/Its-official-Women-ARE-grumpier-men-mornings.html Learn more about your ad choices.

Premedical student Samah Khan discusses her article "The crisis of physician shortages globally." Samah draws a powerful parallel between the medical exodus in Pakistan and the doctor deserts of California's Central Valley, revealing how structural neglect drives providers away from the communities that need them most. She explores the root causes of this brain drain, from low wages to limited residency spots, and argues that health care systems must reshape their values to retain talent. The conversation highlights promising solutions like local recruitment tracks while emphasizing that without systemic change, patients will continue to suffer the cost of delayed care.

I love this conversation because it names something so many women feel but rarely say out loud. That moment when you wake up and realize you can't keep doing things the same way anymore. In Part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Mindy Pelz, we dive into the identity shift women experience in midlife and why suddenly not being able to do it all, for everyone, is not a failure, it's biology. Dr. Mindy breaks down what's actually happening in the brain as estrogen declines, why people-pleasing patterns fall away, and how this phase of life is designed to reconnect you to your authentic voice. We talk about marriages, careers, solitude, resentment, and why menopause is actually an initiation into leadership, wisdom, and truth. Tune in to understand why this phase isn't a breakdown, it's a becoming.

Sandra Teplinsky is an American-Israeli Messianic Jew, former attorney, and author based in Jerusalem. Raised on the South Side of Chicago, Sandra experienced antisemitism early in life—an upbringing that shaped both her faith journey and her long-term focus on helping the church understand Israel through a biblical lens. Through decades of study and ministry, she has written and updated Why Still Care About Israel to address common theological misconceptions, church-history blind spots, and the interpretive frameworks that still shape how many Christians think about Israel today. In this episode of The Wow Factor, Brad sits down with Sandra to explore why so many people are asking the wrong questions about Israel, and why the better starting point is, "Who is our God, and what is He doing?" Sandra shares a defining calling moment from her time in Los Angeles during the late Jesus Movement era, where she describes sensing Jesus' grief and love for the Jewish people.  From there, the conversation moves into antisemitism, what it is, how it spreads, and how certain theological ideas can unintentionally fuel it. Sandra explains supersessionism (often called replacement theology), points listeners to Romans 9–11 as foundational, and describes why humility, repentance, and Scripture-led thinking matter as global hostility rises and Israel remains central in the news. "Israel is the apple of God's eye, whoever would harm Israel is like sticking a finger in the eye of God." – Sandra Teplinsky "The ultimate question isn't, 'Are you for this side or that side?' The ultimate question is: Who is our God?" – Sandra Teplinsky "Paul cautions Gentile believers: don't be arrogant… Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the fullness comes in." – Sandra Teplinsky This Week on The Wow Factor: How Brad met Sandra through a chaotic Israel trip—and why her book stood out immediately Sandra's childhood experience with antisemitism and how it shaped her pursuit of truth A working definition of antisemitism and why it's not only external behavior Sandra's Los Angeles calling moment and a lifelong focus on praying for Israel's salvation "Apple of His eye" and what spiritual blindness can look like in the church Why Israel is rarely taught clearly in many Western churches and seminaries The impact of church-history interpretation shifts on modern theology Supersessionism / replacement theology: what it is and why it matters Romans 9–11 as a framework for God's ongoing purposes for Israel End-times curiosity, modern Aliyah, and rising pressure on Jewish communities worldwide The story of "S" and how Scripture confronted hatred at the heart level Practical steps: humility, repentance, and asking the Holy Spirit to reveal wrong thinking Why blessing Israel can't just be transactional—and needs to be rooted in loving God Sandra Teplinsky's Word of Wisdom: Start with humility. Ask the Holy Spirit to search your heart, and let Scripture interpret Scripture. Caring about Israel isn't meant to be a trend or an argument—it's about aligning with the heart and character of God and learning to love who He loves.

@1QLeadership Question: How can leaders in college sports build innovative, business-savvy organizations that still protect and prioritize the long-term wellbeing and development of student-athletes?   Gary Stokan, retiring President and CEO of the Peach Bowl, reflects on his 47-year career in sports and how coaching principles shaped his leadership in college football. He shares his core frameworks—TEAM (teamwork, empowerment, accountability, management), CARE (customer, attitude, relationships, excellence), and ROCKS (relationships, opportunities, competitiveness, knowledge, strategy)—as simple guides for building people-first, business-smart organizations.   Stokan and 1Q guest host, Steph Garcia Cichosz also unpack his role in growing the Peach Bowl, bringing the College Football Hall of Fame to Atlanta, and navigating today's changing landscape of NIL, the transfer portal, and playoff expansion. Throughout the episode, he stresses keeping student-athletes' long-term wellbeing at the center while maintaining an "attitude of gratitude" and enjoying the journey. - One Question Leadership Podcast - Tai M.

Think you care too much about other people's feelings? Think again. In this bold kickoff to 2026, Dr. Aziz pulls back the curtain on the real reason “nice people” overextend themselves, struggle to say no, and feel constantly responsible for everyone's emotions. Spoiler alert: it's not because they care too much—it's because they're trying to stay safe. Deep down, many people-pleasing behaviors are driven by fear, guilt, and the unconscious belief that your worth hinges on making others happy. In this eye-opening episode, you'll learn: Why over-functioning and “caring” often mask codependency The hidden emotional cost of being overly responsible How niceness traps you in an outdated identity that's not really you The essential difference between real care and fear-based appeasement Why it's time to update your inner operating system—not just tweak your habits If you've ever said yes when you wanted to say no, answered texts out of anxiety, or felt guilty for simply protecting your time and energy, this episode will speak to your soul. And it will challenge you to finally liberate yourself from the nice person identity and step into the bold, authentic leader you were meant to be. Dr. Aziz also shares a powerful invitation to make 2026 the year you fully upgrade your life—starting with your confidence. Tune in, commit, and get ready to reclaim your freedom. -------------------------------------------- Why “caring” can be fear in disguise—and how to break free from the Nice Cage Most people start the new year thinking about goals: relationships, health, career, money, confidence. But underneath all of that, there's a deeper goal. Liberation. Liberation from the old identity. Liberation from the old operating system. Liberation from social anxiety, people-pleasing, self-doubt… and the nice cage that keeps you small. And today I want to challenge one of the biggest beliefs that keeps “nice” people trapped: Nice people don't actually care too much. That might sound surprising—because nice people often feel like they care more than everyone else. They feel guilty if someone's upset. They say yes when they want to say no. They carry other people's emotions like they're responsible for them. And they tell themselves: “I care about them, so I can't disappoint them.” “If I say no, it means I don't care.” “If they're struggling, who am I to refuse?” “A good person should help.” But here's what I want you to see: When it feels like you care too much… it often isn't caring at all. It's something else masquerading as care. The Nice Cage: When “being good” becomes self-erasure Niceness can feel like virtue. It can feel like love. It can feel like generosity. It can feel like being a “good person.” But a lot of the time, niceness is actually a strategy—an unconscious survival strategy—to stay safe. Because underneath niceness is a fear that sounds like: “If I upset people, I'll be rejected.” “If I disappoint them, I'll be abandoned.” “If they're angry with me, I'm not safe.” “If I don't keep them happy… I'm bad.” So niceness becomes a cage: you keep trying to be acceptable, agreeable, harmless. And the cost? You don't live your life. You live a managed version of yourself. The big misunderstanding: “Caring” vs. fear Nice people don't actually care too much. They often have something else running the show: 1) Codependence Codependence is basically: “I'm okay if you're okay. And if you're not okay… I'm not okay.” So if someone is happy, you relax. If someone is disappointed, irritated, stressed, or hurt—you go into emergency mode. Your hair is on fire. “What do you need?” “How do I fix this?” “How do I make it right?” And it feels like caring. But really, it's fear. 2) Over-responsibility This is the core belief behind niceness: “I am responsible for your emotional state.” Not that you're responsible to feed someone like a baby— but you feel responsible for whether they're upset. So you avoid saying no. You avoid being direct. You avoid expressing your truth. You override your own needs. Because if they're upset… you feel like you've done something wrong. The “or else” feeling: the clearest sign it's fear Here's one of the easiest ways to tell whether something is care or fear: If it has an “or else” feeling—it's fear. “I have to respond right now… or else.” “I have to say yes… or else.” “I have to make them happy… or else.” “I can't disappoint them… or else.” That “or else” is not love. That “or else” is survival mode. And it's usually not about the current situation—it's an old pattern repeating itself. Why niceness drains your vitality Here's the truth that many nice people don't want to look at: You will not be fully alive in the nice operating system. At best, you can build a life that looks okay on the outside… but it doesn't feel like your life—because you're not being you. And eventually, the nice pattern catches up. burnout resentment being taken for granted relationships that feel one-sided physical symptoms, stress, tension, pain a shrinking life No matter how much you give, the answer becomes: “Give more.” More helping. More fixing. More proving. More caretaking. And that's not a path to freedom. The shift that changes everything The way out is not “try harder.” You can't over-function your way out of this. The way out is a deeper realization: What you've been calling “care” is often fear. And when you see that, something opens up: Saying no becomes healthy—not cruel Boundaries become respectful—not selfish Truth becomes connection—not danger You stop trying to manage people's emotions You start living your life again Because this is the mature truth: Other people are responsible for their emotions. And you are responsible for yours. Real emergencies vs. emotional discomfort Sometimes people say, “But isn't it important to show up for others?” Yes. There are real crises in life. There are emergencies. There are moments when love calls you to step up. But here's the problem: Nice people treat everyday discomfort like an emergency. Someone is frustrated. Someone is impatient. Someone wanted something faster. Someone admits disappointment. And your nervous system reacts like: “Danger. Fix it now.” That's the pattern. And breaking the pattern means you stop treating emotional discomfort as an alarm bell you must obey. Your action step: upgrade your operating system If you want to get free, you'll need more than a small tweak. This isn't “be a little more assertive.” This is: Commit to a deeper level of change. A full operating system upgrade. A decision that says: “This year, I'm no longer living inside the nice cage.” “I'm no longer responsible for managing other people's emotions.” “I will be honest, direct, kind, and real.” “I will live as me.” Because liberation doesn't happen from a wish. It happens from commitment. Why environment matters (and how transformation accelerates) Personal responsibility matters. But you don't have to do it alone. One of the fastest ways to change is: Commitment + the right environment. That's why I've spent decades investing in mentors, coaching, groups, and training environments. Because the right environment speeds up what would otherwise take years. And if you want to do deep work on people-pleasing, niceness, social anxiety, and living with real confidence… If you've been listening to this show for a while and you feel drawn to do this work deeply, you might be a fit for my Unstoppable Confidence Mastermind. It's a 12-month program designed to help you: break free from social anxiety and people-pleasing build bold, authentic confidence speak up, set boundaries, and stop over-functioning create real change that sticks It's immersive support over a full year: live calls with me, step-by-step guidance, progress tracking, quarterly check-ins, and a curated community. If you want to explore it, you can apply using the link above. You don't need to become harsh. You don't need to become selfish. You don't need to stop caring. You just need to stop confusing fear with care. And when you do, you get something back that you might not have felt in a long time: Freedom. The freedom to be fully you. Until we speak again—have the courage to be who you are, and to know on a deep level that you're awesome. Quick Recap Nice people don't care too much. They often fear too much. Watch for these signals: “or else” urgency automatic yes guilt when someone's disappointed over-responsibility for emotions The shift: Other people manage their emotions. You manage yours. The commitment: Upgrade the operating system. Live outside the nice cage.

12pm hour of The K&C Masterpiece! The franchise (and even some in the media) have praised Schotty's culture - but what does it mean to the fan base? The biggest team and individual player disappointments of the NFL season. The Tuesday Tailgate: Has a changing of the college football guard officially arrived?

Quitting isn't the real danger. The real danger is chasing a goal you don't actually want. Show Notes In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor shares a candid realization from his Ironman training that sparked a deeper conversation about goals, passion, and honesty with yourself. While training for an upcoming Ironman race in March, Baylor found himself asking a simple but uncomfortable question. Why am I doing this race? The answer surprised him. There was no emotional connection. No deeper meaning. It was simply the first Ironman offered in Dallas, and he signed up caught up in the excitement. That moment led to a powerful insight. The worst thing is not giving up on a goal. The worst thing is continuing to pursue a goal you are not passionate about. Baylor breaks down why many people quit their goals early in the year. Not because they are lazy or undisciplined, but because the goal itself never belonged to them. It was chosen for hype, social validation, or momentum, not purpose. He walks listeners through the key questions everyone must ask when evaluating a goal. Why did I choose this? Who am I doing it for? What connects me to it? And will this goal actually transform me? Using his own experience, Baylor explains why it is okay to pivot when you have better information. Goals should align with the direction you are heading, not the person you were months ago. Growth changes priorities, and adjusting goals is not failure. It is clarity. The episode closes with a meaningful shift. Instead of forcing himself to pursue a March race he felt disconnected from, Baylor rediscovered the race that originally inspired his endurance journey years ago. By moving the goal to September and reconnecting it to purpose, the goal came back to life. This episode is a reminder that passion fuels perseverance. Discipline can only carry you so far. Meaning carries you the rest of the way. What You'll Learn in This Episode • Why pursuing the wrong goal is worse than quitting • How to identify goals driven by hype instead of purpose • The importance of emotional connection in long-term goals • When and how to pivot without giving up • Why growth often requires reassessing old goals • How meaning fuels consistency when motivation fades Featured Quote "It's not okay to quit on your goals, but it is okay to pivot when the goal no longer fits who you are becoming." If a goal feels heavy, empty, or disconnected, pause and ask why. Reattach meaning, shift the timeline, or realign the goal. Passion is not optional. It is the fuel.

Host: April Bordeau Guest: Mac Zambrano  Parenting young children can feel overwhelming, especially when big emotions, power struggles, and exhaustion collide. In this episode, we explore what it truly means to parent littles with both love and limits, without relying on shame, fear, or survival-based parenting approaches.Rather than focusing on “fixing behavior,” this conversation reframes early childhood challenges through a developmental and relational lens. You'll learn why boundaries are not the opposite of love, but one of the clearest ways children experience safety, connection, and trust.We talk about:Why limits are essential for emotional and nervous system developmentHow to respond to big behaviors without escalating power strugglesThe difference between discipline and punishmentWhy parents don't need to do this alone—and were never meant toHow early support can change the trajectory for both children and parentsIf you're parenting a little one and find yourself questioning, second-guessing, or feeling worn down, this episode is an invitation to pause, breathe, and reach for support.

Scott and Jenny review the newly released 2026 ADA Standards of Care, praising key updates like hospital safety protocols while critiquing the "slow drift" of official guidance compared to real-world management. Topics Discussed: The "Slow Drift" of Guidance: Scott analyzes how standards often lag behind effective real-world management, comparing current advice to guidelines from 2018 and 2022. GLP-1s for Type 1: The new guidance explicitly lists GLP-1 receptor agonists as a treatment option for obesity in people with Type 1 diabetes. Technology Access: The requirement for C-Peptide levels or antibody presence has been removed for initiating insulin pumps or AID systems. Hospital Safety: A crucial new standard mandates that basal insulin should never be held for patients with Type 1 diabetes in the hospital. Workplace Advocacy: New language supports reasonable accommodations for adults using diabetes technology (pumps/CGMs) in the workplace. Cannabis Warning: The standards include a new specific warning against cannabis use for those at risk of DKA due to concerns about "cannabis hyperemesis syndrome".

Welcome to the first Disney Dish of the new year, where Jim Hill and Len Testa kick things off with news, listener questions, and a deep dive into Disney history and tech. This week, a newly published Disney patent sparks speculation about how the upcoming Encanto attraction may work, while Jim launches into a fascinating (and surprisingly hands-on) story about how Disney maintains, repairs, and periodically reinvents its iconic theme park castles. Along the way, there are transportation woes, glittering greenhouses, and more than a few once-in-a-lifetime Disney moments. NEWS • Disney reveals Buddy, a new helper character coming to Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin when it reopens in 2026 • A newly filed Disney patent hints at holographic characters, with strong evidence pointing toward use in the upcoming Encanto ride • Imagineering files a new construction permit for the Haunted Mansion, likely focused on interior work • Updates on Glittering Greenhouses at EPCOT and extended holiday decorations at Disneyland • Changes to Disneyland perks, including the end of Early Entry and the rollout of a new California resident ticket deal FEATURE • Why Disney castles require constant repainting, roof repairs, and drainage fixes • The overlooked engineering challenges of maintaining structures built for 1950s deadlines, not 21st-century weather • How Imagineer Kim Irvine spent decades refining Sleeping Beauty Castle's look, color palette, and functionality • The surprising amount of artistry that goes into making castle “bricks” look authentically imperfect For this episode's full show notes, click here.

A woman was unusually nervous as she sat in the dentist’s chair. Family burdens troubled her greatly, and it was noticeable. Her dentist sensed her anxiety and asked her about it. Her story led him to ask, “Can I pray for you?” When the dental hygienist came into the room, she also prayed for the woman. Two prayers and one completed dentist’s visit later, the woman left the office knowing that she’d truly been cared for. Praying for others is one of the best ways for us to show that we care because it calls on the greatest resource we know—our heavenly Father—to be actively involved in the lives of others. In 1 Samuel 12, Samuel was faced with the concerns of a very nervous group of people (v. 19). The Israelites had erroneously asked for a king, and they were afraid of how it was going to go for themselves. The prophet told them to “not be afraid” (v. 20) and assured them of God’s goodness as seen in these words, “Far be it from me from me that I should sin against the Lord by failing to pray for you” (v. 23). We also have the privilege and calling to pray for others. Silently sometimes and out loud at other times, we honor God when we petition Him for assistance on behalf of others in need.
