Almost half of children with active moms grow up to be physically active themselves, shaping their lifelong health in ways we can't always see. As moms juggling a thousand things, it's easy to put your health on the back burner. Healthy habits you establish now will strengthen your body, nurture your mind, reduce stress, and enhance your emotional resilience.If you're feeling stretched thin, you're not alone, and carving out even a few minutes for movement is one of the most powerful gifts you can give your family. Carving out time to exercise should begin at preconception, so that your future children have a healthy foundation.When you prioritize your well-being post-pregnancy, you're showing your children what self-care looks like and teaching them that health is worth protecting at every stage of life. Your exercise routine is more than just “me time.” It's a ripple effect of healthy habits for future generations to come.That's why we're so glad to chat on IG Live with Ayelet Gottesman, a Pre + Postnatal Educator.During this Live, we're going to discuss the lasting effects active moms have on children, ways to use exercise to help keep the brain sharp, getting back into working out postpartum, and so much more!Learn more about Ayelet's services: https://www.instagram.com/movewithbetterform/Get tested for BPA, phthalates, parabens, and other hormone-disrupting chemicals with Million Marker's Test Kit: https://www.millionmarker.com/

We cannot avoid war, the only thing we can do is avoid fighting for the wrong side and the wrong cause. This world is legalistic. So long as we are in this world, we and it, will remain legalistic. Carving out a private area of faith is naïve. In the world of the flesh, we remain under the wrong master. The Father of Lies is the Father of the law. Living in the flesh means we serve Christ with lips, not with our life. To break away we need to seek peace, because the legalistic system is at war with itself and God. This is the meaning of Eph 6:12. But to be a pacifist is not to be apathetic. We need to be at war with the legalist system. We need to fight and destroy legalism and the legalistic system.

This week's episode of America on the Road brings two all-new models to the forefront, both playing in dramatically different corners of the automotive spectrum — the 2025 Mazda CX-5 and the 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9. Mildly refreshed for 2025, the CX-5 is a compact SUV that continues to punch above its weight with upscale styling, responsive driving dynamics, and an even more premium interior this year. Mazda hasn't radically altered the CX-5's formula, but the updates include a sleeker front fascia, more tech inside, and a Carbon Edition trim that hits the sweet spot between luxury and value. During his weeklong road test of the SUV, Host Jack Nerad spent a weekend putting the fun-to-drive CX-5 through its paces over the twisty roads of eastern San Diego County, where it proved once again why it's a perennial favorite among compact SUV shoppers and car journalists alike. On the other end of the spectrum is the 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9, an all-electric three-row SUV that aims directly at the heart of the American family vehicle market. Built on Hyundai's E-GMP platform, the Ioniq 9 is large, loaded, and luxurious, with a spacious interior and cutting-edge technology. Guest co-host Matt DeLorenzo breaks down how this EV stacks up on the road, particularly in terms of range, ride comfort, and usability for larger families. Is this the long-awaited Tesla Model X alternative? Tune in to find out. This week's special guest is Frank Hanley, Senior Director at J.D. Power. He joins the show to talk about the latest findings from the J.D. Power Initial Quality Study, with a particular focus on how quality benchmarks are shifting in 2025. Hanley shares insights on which automakers are hitting the mark and which are falling behind as new tech becomes standard and customer expectations continue to rise.

The new 5.7-liter HEMI in the GT delivers a big jump in power and towing, while the R/T now features the 475-horsepower 392 HEMI under $50K. At the top, the Hellcat returns with a Jailbreak customization package and retains its crown as the most powerful gas SUV ever built. Listener Question of the Week This week's listener question comes from Jinnie in Park City, Utah, who asks: ““I think my car needs some attention and I'm not sure what to do about it. Should I go to the dealership for service or find a local mechanic?” Jack and Matt share some practical advice, including the best times to go to a dealer and the best ways to find a good independent mechanic you can trust.

In this episode, professional bodyboarder, Dave Winchester opens up about what truly anchors him — staying grounded through family  and the importance of carving out time for himself. He shares his thoughts on the  most underrated skill in bodyboarding, reflects on his unforgettable first Parkway Drive show and how Winston amps him up for surf sessions. We also touch on how the ocean has helped us in many ways and is a true form of medicine. We also explore respect in the water — everything from the language surfers use to the space they give each other .

Mason may not be very well known yet but he is dang sure doing his best by climbing through the ranks and trying to soak up as much as he can from those who are willing to offer their knowledge to him. Mason Mileski is a Utah farrier who has been shoeing for a short period of time but has made a big impact on his career by seeking help from top farriers in the industry. He didn't attend a farrier school but with his own motivation and persistence, he convinced his father in-law to teach him how to shoe horses. Though like most great farriers we've talked to on the podcast, he signed up for the Novice division at his states (the Utah Farriers Association) annual contest and learned so much by just diving in to get his feet wet and also meet so many like minded farriers who were willing to give up their time to help another out. From there he sought out the American Farriers Association certification system and convention competition. All the while he didn't know that he was going to be introduced to Bodie Trnka and become teammates in the Two-Man Draft Class. They eventually went on to win the Draft Class at the AFA Convention! Now Mason is competing at the WCB contests and placing well enough to have a shot at making the 2025 WCB Team. And something we haven't had many guests do to us on the podcast was have a couple questions lined up to ask us, so stick around to the end where Mason surprises us with a couple insightful questions for the us hosts!

What does it take to not just survive, but thrive as an artist in the most copycat industry on earth? In this episode, Brad & Jen sit down with acclaimed wedding photographer and all-around creative human, Tomasz Wagner, to talk about staying true to your creative voice in a world obsessed with trends, lists, and what's “working” right now. From the importance of building trust with your couples (and yourself), to using psychology as much as a camera, to the very practical magic of mint tea, Tomasz shares the behind-the-scenes process that's made his work instantly recognizable and deeply personal. In this conversation, we dig into: Why your best work happens when you show up as a blank canvas (not a checklist) How Tomasz uses “the 50/50 rule” to invite his couples into the creative process How to experiment, play, and fail forward on the wedding day (and why you must) The crucial role of building trust, curiosity, and belonging—before the first photo is ever taken How film and travel reset your creative soul Why every artist needs a sounding board (shoutout to Amy!) Whether you're a seasoned pro tired of the tunnel, or just starting to carve your own lane, this episode is a masterclass in staying present, playful, and true to what lights you up.

Undulating waves of crystalline fragrance burst from Floret Loret's sonic greenhouse. The multi-sensory experience of Fernando Loret de Mola's catalog is a tribute to his careful cultivation of a sound that bathes in natural beauty but also pulls from a dark, industrial cityscape. Carving his niche amongst a rising generation of experimental bass producers, Loret de Mola sets himself apart by introducing lush, hypnotic melodies into a scene so often dominated by singed and smoking sound design. Floret Loret dares to let his delicate compositions bloom amongst the jarring forays into brooding low end, and the result is an unpredictable and often heterodox bouquet of swirling colors and textures. Cross-pollinating sound design die-hards and melodic bass acolytes seeded a rabid fan base that brought his music to the attention of Deadbeats, which released his 2019 EP, Secluded Garden. Label heads Zeds Dead then tapped Floret Loret for the collab “Reason” from their We Are Deadbeats Vol. 4 compilation, an elegant arrangement of glistening themes that dance and twirl between shimmering rays of light and ponderous darkness. It's been a prolific run for Loret de Mola, who has released singles on Quality Goods Records and Electric Hawk, EPs on mau5trap and Bassrush, collaborated with progressive contemporaries Siska, Silva, Low Poly, and CAPSHUN (the latter of which was handpicked by CloZee for her Gravitas comp), and landed coveted festival slots at Okeechobee and EDC. Sprouting from a bleak live show landscape, Loret de Mola landed high-profile dates with Minnesota, Chee, and a featured role at Infrasound Music Festival and Shambhala. Tastemakers forging the next frontier in the left-field electronic space are flocking to Floret Loret's field to bask in his creations.To learn more visit: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1SOahWJen3CxHs0e9eCmFe?si=a__4bwsHRDC2srR2PWOspw

In this episode of The GoodKind Podcast, Clayton Greene, Chris Pappalardo, and Arthur Tew unpack the surprisingly spiritual side of... homework. Through stories from public school, homeschooling, and their own childhoods, they wrestle with what homework actually teaches kids—not just academically, but spiritually.They reflect on the difference between meaningful work and busywork, how homework intersects with identity and overwork, and whether school is subtly shaping our kids to see productivity as a primary value. By the end, it's clear: how we talk about homework shapes how our kids think about work, worth, and even Sabbath.TakeawaysHomework is more than just worksheets. It can train kids in independence and perseverance—or frustrate them with pointless busywork.Meaningful work matters. Kids are more motivated when they understand the purpose of what they're doing—whether it's a Shakespearean writing prompt or feeding chickens.All homework is not created equal. Parents can help kids distinguish between tasks that just need to get done, and tasks that are vital to learning. Homework shouldn't sabotage Sabbath. Carving out weekend space free from school demands models a rhythm of grace.Homeschool or public school, the big question is: what are we teaching them about work? Through homework, chores, and school routines, we're forming our kids' beliefs about productivity, rest, and their value.

Diane Kappa is a lifelong artist and the daughter of an artist. After founding her art licensing business nearly 20 years ago, she spent many years designing to creative briefs—a challenge she still enjoys for its problem-solving aspects. But in recent years, her focus has shifted toward more personal exploration, a journey that has deepened her creative practice and enriched her commercial design work.Linoleum block printing has become her most personal and expressive medium. Drawn to its tactile process, bold shapes, and the meditative rhythm of carving by hand, Diane often combines her hand-carved prints with stitching and layered details. Her work explores the interplay of texture, pattern, and process—three themes that guided her recent artist residency. Texture is revealed through physical and visual layers; Pattern draws inspiration from sources like tattered wallpaper and vintage textiles; and Process honors the thoughtful, hands-on journey behind each piece.Travel continues to inspire her work. Having lived in Budapest for four years, she regularly attends creative retreats in India, France, Mexico, and across the U.S.—experiences that provide time to reset, refocus, and reconnect with what matters most in her art.A passionate teacher, Diane offers block printing classes from her studio, nurturing creative community and helping others reconnect with their artistic voice.Website: https://www.dianekappa.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dianekappa/Retreat: https://www.artistsrising.net/diane-kappa-2026Thank You to Our Sponsors: Jet Creative and UrbanStems!· Jet Creative: A women-owned marketing firm committed to community and empowerment.

We are not slowing down as my Pride Month Feature rolls along with returning show guest Eisner, GLAAD, and Ringo nominated comics writer Steve Orlando hanging out with me to talk about two of his projects dropping with the big two. Last time he was on we were talking about the ongoing Scarlet Witch series which is being continued in a new five issue mini-series The Vision and The Scarlet Witch, recognizing their 50th wedding anniversary which will see the return of White Vision. It's hard to believe their wedding was 50 years ago in Giant Sized Avengers #4. Steve is promising a Lovecraftian slat to the series which I'm personally rather excited about. Recently it was announced that he will also be working on the Magical Mysteries of Shazam on DC Go!, Venom: Original Sin jumps from Marvel Unlimited Online to print, the exciting conclusion of Ripperland who he's co-writing with John Harris Dunning just wrapped up and will be dropping as a trade soon with Dark Horse Comics, and the trade of Avengers Assemble: The Serpent Scenario just hit too. So, Steve is quite the busy guy at the moment. If you want to catch up with him, you can find him on BlueSky or on Instagram. Shark rescue Byron talked about on the show The Vision and The Scarlet Witch From the publisher The next chapter in one of comics' greatest love stories arrives this May! Celebrating the 50th anniversary of their iconic wedding in GIANT-SIZE AVENGERS (1974) #4, Scarlet Witch and Vision are back together in THE VISION & THE SCARLET WITCH, a five-issue limited series by current SCARLET WITCH scribe Steve Orlandoand returning series artists Lorenzo Tammetta and Jacopo Camagni. THE VISION & THE SCARLET WITCH serves as the latest evolution of Orlando's ongoing SCARLET WITCH run, which has successfully redefined the adventures of Wanda Maximoff. Carving out her own path in the Marvel Universe as a solo hero, Scarlet Witch's magic has never been more powerful. But when it comes to helping Vision, she'll need more than strength alone! Befitting their decades-spanning romance, Scarlet Witch and Vision team up for a dramatic saga that will test their souls and break their hearts! The Magical Mysteries of Shazam! From the publisher In The Magical Mysteries of Shazam!  by writer Steve Orlando (Supergirl, Martian Manhunter) and artist Giopota, Billy Batson has had to grow up fast. Life with Tawny, a talking tiger and also Billy's adoptive uncle, is humble. It's not always easy! Billy lives with Tawny's other foster children, Darla, Pedro, and Freddy. Despite all he's been through, Billy is willfully hopeful. In addition to all the struggles a blended foster family faces, Fawcett City isn't exactly the safest place to live. It might be a fantastic, whimsical city full of both humans and talking animals, but it's also got a monster problem—in fact, a Monster Society! Soon Billy is granted the ability to say a magic word and transform into a mighty hero! Fawcett City cheers its new champion—and little do they know, he's one of their own. Or do they? Because Billy's siblings are pretty sure they saw him turn into a full-grown superhero. PATREON We have a new Patreon, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CryptidCreatorCornerpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

So you've scaled the mountain, built the nest egg, and maybe even shouted “I'm done!” across a pristine beach... now what? In today's Stacking Benjamins episode, Joe Saul-Sehy convenes a roundtable of heavy-hitters to tackle the most misunderstood phase of money management: decumulation—a.k.a. the art of spending what you've worked so hard to save. Whether you're staring down retirement or already deep into your golden years, you'll hear candid, practical insights from three financial thought leaders who specialize in making your money last. Joining Joe are Dana Anspach, retirement planning expert and founder of Sensible Money, Karsten Jeske (aka “Big ERN” from Early Retirement Now), and Frank Vasquez, aka Uncle Frank, host of Risk Parity Radio. Together, they bring decades of academic research, professional experience, and plain old common sense to questions like: What's the real safe withdrawal rate—and why does it depend on more than just spreadsheets? Should you chase simplicity or embrace complexity in managing retirement funds? What role do annuities and guaranteed income play in reducing late-life anxiety? How do you plan for cognitive decline without spiraling into existential dread? What's the difference between spending confidently... and spending carelessly? You'll also hear why lumpy expenses, long-term care surprises, and behavioral quirks can trip up even the best-laid plans—and how to bulletproof your strategy now. And yes, we get nerdy. Risk parity, sequence of return risk, and portfolio glidepaths all make guest appearances—but always with your favorite Stacking Benjamins charm and plain-English style. Because retirement doesn't need to be scary... but it does need to be intentional. Why your investment approach needs to evolve once paychecks stop The strengths and blind spots of the “4% rule” How emotions (not just inflation) affect safe withdrawal strategies When it makes sense to annuitize, and when it absolutely doesn't How to adjust for cognitive decline in your financial plan (and still maintain autonomy) The “spend conservatively early” myth—debunked Tips for managing healthcare and other unpredictable late-life costs Whether you're a retiree, a pre-retiree, or a spreadsheet-loving financial independence buff, this deep-dive episode will give you the confidence to manage the second half of your financial life like a pro. This isn't just about stretching your dollars—it's about building a life worth spending them on. So grab your planner, pour a cup of whatever says “retirement-ready” to you, and let's get smarter (and maybe just a bit weirder) about your golden years.

In this inspiring episode, Tara chats with writer and writing coach Leigh Shulman about what it really means to carve out creative space as a mother.

From overcoming creative blocks to the magic that happens in the editing process, this episode is a gentle nudge to let go of the pressure and just begin—no matter where you are in your writing journey. Whether you're journaling for yourself or dreaming of publishing something big, this conversation is packed with encouraging wisdom for moms who have something to say but aren't quite sure where to start.

In this episode of the Meet the Mentor Series®, Dr. Bill Dorfman sits down with actor, writer, and producer Ryan Powers, whose journey from small-town Massachusetts to the film sets of Los Angeles is filled with grit, creativity, and resourcefulness. Ryan shares how a love for theater led him from the University of Miami to singing and dancing aboard cruise ships—and ultimately to the film industry. Along the way, he met his husband, Jason, and saved enough to take a chance on moving to LA. Ryan opens up about the challenges of breaking into Hollywood and why waiting for opportunities wasn't an option. Instead, he chose to create his own—writing and producing short films like Broken Heart, which gained traction at festivals. His work on titles like Sidney vs. Shawn and Disney's She-Hulk reflect a career shaped by collaboration and self-driven momentum. He also shares a glimpse into his next project, a psychological horror film rooted in his hometown. Dr. Bill also gives an exciting update on the LEAP program at Pepperdine University in 2025 from July 13th to 19th. Ryan, a passionate mentor, talks about the importance of programs like LEAP and his continued involvement beyond the summer through their “Meet the Mentor” series.

Gnome shares her incredible journey from growing up in foster care to carving out a thriving career in advertising.

Welcome back!  I don't know what came over me, but I've just been in the mood to try new things lately, and soap carving is one of them!  I would personally really like to get good at this just to make custom carved soap for friends.  I've never been into handling sharp objects, so it's kind of funny and also great.  There were only a few moments of almost oops, so I'm grateful for that, ha.  I hope you enjoy this different kind of soap carving.  Many blessings and the sweetest of dreams!

Leannes journey into teaching yoga began with a simple trip to California—but it turned out to be a turning point in her life."During the COVID lockdown, she completed a 200-hour online yoga teacher training, which opened the door to a whole new path."One thing I've learned along the way is how often we become disconnected from our own bodies. In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to get stuck in our heads and forget to check in with ourselves".Yoga and mindfulness offer tools to bring us back into the present moment. And one of the most powerful tools we have is always with us—our breath. By learning how to breathe with awareness, we can calm the mind, soothe the nervous system, and reconnect with ourselves on a deeper level."https://www.facebook.com/YogawithLeanneinValenciaallaboutyoupodcast@yahoo.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@allaboutyoupodcast2505
