How do you know if your navel orangeworm management program is actually working, and where do new technologies fit?In this episode of the MyAgLife Podcast, Dr. Emily Symmes previews her upcoming Crop Consultant Conference presentation and discusses how growers and PCAs can take a closer look at NOW program performance, from identifying when damage occurred and evaluating ROI to determining whether emerging technologies add meaningful value. She also explains why asking the right questions, testing new tools and sharing successes and failures will be increasingly important as NOW management continues to evolve.Hear more from Emily at the 2026 Crop Consultant Conference, Sept. 23–24 at the Visalia Convention Center.

You know something is wrong.Your teenage son is quieter than usual, irritated, withdrawn, or clearly upset.So you ask:“What happened?”“Are you okay?”“Did something happen at school?”And all you get back is:“I'm fine.”Or worse:“Mom, leave me alone.”When you're worried about your child, it can feel almost impossible not to keep asking.But sometimes, the harder we pursue connection, the farther away our teenager moves.In this short Thursday Quick Reset, I'm sharing a simple shift that can completely change these moments:Open the door. Don't drag him through it.You'll learn why repeated questions can feel like pressure to an overwhelmed teenager and what to say instead.I'm also giving you three specific scripts you can use when:You know something is wrong but your teen says he's fineYour son seems overwhelmed and needs spaceHe snaps, “Leave me alone”We'll also talk about why some of the best conversations with teenagers happen sideways—in the car, walking the dog, making food, or sitting together without the pressure of a formal conversation.The goal isn't to get your teenager to tell you everything.And connection does not mean your son never pulls away.Adolescence is supposed to include independence and separation.The goal is to build a relationship where your teenager knows:“I can come back here when I'm ready.”Because your job isn't to make him talk.Your job is to make the relationship safe enough that when he wants to talk, he knows where to come.As I say often:The relationship is the intervention.Listen to Episode 298 and practice just one change this week:Instead of asking another question, try:“You don't have to talk about it right now. I'm around if you want me.”Then give it some space.If conflict and communication with your tween or teen have become exhausting, download my Tween and Teen Conflict Reset Kit for practical scripts and a plan for handling those first critical minutes of conflict.⭐️ If your family is stuck in repeating school-morning conflict, book a Parent Reset Strategy Session.⭐️Join the Family and get your weekly Mindful Kids and Family Journal here: https://www.mindfulkidsandfamilies.com/join-the-family (Get ready for lessons, podcast leads, offers for parents, and ways to win free parent coaching or masterclasses)

Henriette's story is one of obsessive discipline, deliberate practice and a willingness to reject the conventional path. Competitive, fiercely self-reliant and prepared to put in the work when nobody is watching. But there is much more to her story than results. From obstacle course racing and an early connection with Tromsø that involved her honeymoon, through races such as the Ring of Steel, skyrunning and the World Championships, Henriette steadily built her way into the elite of the sport. A period of serious health issues interrupted that progression, but her return produced a remarkable run of performances - including 6th at OCC and CCC, 6th at Lavaredo 80K, victory at Templiers 47K, a winter Bob Graham Round record of 17:55 across 106 km and 42 peaks, 3rd at Trofeo Kima, victory at UTS 50K, and back-to-back Transgrancanaria wins in 2025 and 2026. But the results are only part of the conversation. We talk about leaving a corporate career as an auditor to become a full-time runner, the role Norway has played in shaping her - from the Romsdal mountains and local races to brutal weather and hugely varied terrain. We also get into some of the less comfortable subjects in elite sport: women's health and RED-S, body shape and what 'healthy' actually means, sponsorship and the freedom to make your own choices, shoe selection, common sense and decision-making, and the pressures surrounding UTMB and the modern ultra-running landscape. Henriette is refreshingly honest, no BS and unafraid to speak about subjects that many athletes avoid. Through the Ascend Trail, Arc'teryx, her new partnership with Raid Research and the Sufferfest film, she is also building something beyond simply being a professional runner. An outlier, certainly. But perhaps more importantly, someone prepared to question the rules, take responsibility for her own decisions and find her own way through the sport.

Zeev Buium's 8-year contract extension with the Vancouver Canucks will go down as the final 8-year contract in club history as the CBA that kicks in today will limit contracts to a 7-year maximum.

Your teenage son may be taller than you, stronger than you, pushing for more independence—and acting like he needs you less.But that doesn't necessarily mean he needs less connection.In this episode of The Single Parenting Reset Show, I'm joined by relational and men's coach Mike Elliott for an honest conversation about what teenage boys may be communicating underneath the shutdown, defensiveness, anger, and “Leave me alone.”Because sometimes what looks like disrespect or withdrawal is actually a young person who doesn't yet know what to do with everything happening inside of him.Mike and I talk about what it means for a teen boy to be under-resourced emotionally and relationally—and why connection, emotional safety, support, and healthy mentorship matter so much as boys move toward adulthood.We also talk specifically about the experience of single moms raising sons.How do you remain the safe place without trying to fix everything?How do you recognize the tenderness that may still be there underneath your son's growing strength and independence?And how do you help him find healthy men to learn from when Dad may not be available—or may not be able to provide the mentorship your son needs?Inside this conversation, you'll learn:Why your teenage son's difficult behavior may be protecting something more vulnerableWhy fixing, lecturing, or problem-solving too quickly can make a teen stop opening upHow emotional safety changes the way your son experiences youWhy boys can still need reassurance and connection even while pushing for independenceHow to separate your own history and triggers from what is happening with your sonWhat healthy male mentorship can offer a growing boyHow to look beyond Dad and intentionally build a wider circle of healthy menMike's simple VAR framework: Vulnerability, Acknowledgment, ReassuranceWhat to say when your teen is overwhelmed and snapping at youWhy seeing your son for who he actually is may matter more than trying to mold him into who you think he should becomeOne of my favorite ideas from this conversation is simple:When your teen brings you vulnerability, you don't always have to fix it. Sometimes your job is simply to hold it.That is connection before correction in action.Listen to the full episode and consider this question:Where might my son need more connection, support, or mentorship right now—not more correction?Mike Elliott is an executive relational coach and men's coach based in British Columbia, Canada.His interest in relationships and emotional development grew partly from his own history. Mike was adopted twice during his first year of life and describes struggling with relationships, identity, substance use, anger, and disconnection during adolescence and early adulthood.After his own marriage ended, he devoted himself more deeply to understanding relationships, attachment, emotional development, and men's work. Today, he works with men around relationships, personal responsibility, emotional growth, mentorship, and becoming more grounded leaders in their families and lives.And if conflict with your tween or teen keeps turning into arguments, shutdowns, or power struggles, download my Tween & Teen Conflict Reset Kit for practical scripts to help you respond differently in those difficult moments.And be sure to follow or subscribe to The Single Parenting Reset Show so you don't miss the next Quick Reset.⭐️ If your family is stuck in repeating school-morning conflict, book a Parent Reset Strategy Session.⭐️Join the Family and get your weekly Mindful Kids and Family Journal here: https://www.mindfulkidsandfamilies.com/join-the-family (Get ready for lessons, podcast leads, offers for parents, and ways to win free parent coaching or masterclasses)

How can growers get more value from the nitrogen already available to their crops?In this episode of the MyAgLife Podcast, TJ Bingham with Koch Agronomic Services previews his upcoming Crop Consultant Conference Take the Stage presentation on improving nitrogen utilization in high-value cropping systems. Bingham discusses why nitrogen availability doesn't always translate to efficient plant use, the role micronutrients can play, how heat and other stresses affect nutrient efficiency, and why new approaches need to fit practically into growers' existing fertility programs.Hear more from TJ at the 2026 Crop Consultant Conference, Sept. 23–24 at the Visalia Convention Center.View the CCC agenda and register

You tell your teen it's time to put the phone away.They say:“One more minute.”You wait.Then you ask again.And suddenly a simple phone limit turns into a full-blown power struggle.If this happens in your house, the answer usually isn't repeating yourself louder, threatening a bigger consequence, or grabbing the phone out of your teen's hand.In this Quick Reset, I'm giving you a simple three-part response you can use when your tween or teen won't get off their phone:Connection.Limit.Choice.You'll also learn what to say when they agree to “two more minutes” and still don't stop — and what to do when they flat-out refuse.You'll walk away with exact language to help you:Set a phone limit without immediately creating a power struggleGive your teen autonomy without giving up the boundaryStop repeating yourself five timesRespond when your teen says noUse consequences that are connected to the actual problemCome back later for a calmer repair conversationProtect the relationship while still parenting firmlyBecause your teen does not have to like the boundary for you to hold it.And you do not have to damage the relationship in order to enforce it.The relationship is the intervention.If phones and screens are becoming one of the biggest sources of conflict in your home, download my free Tech Reset Agreement.It will help you create clearer expectations around phones, screens, and technology before the next argument starts.⭐Download the free Tech Reset Agreement to create clearer family expectations around phones, gaming, sleep, school responsibilities, and family connection:

SHOW NOTES: John 12:24-25, Romans 6:3–4, Romans 14:7-9, Galatians 2:20, Colossians 3:3–5, CCC 2015 www.mattzemanek.com https://gofund.me/7a975076b

This week, we discuss the latest Employment Report, the Treasury's $6 billion repurchase operation, the rise in Treasury yields, intervention in the Japanese yen, the war in Iran, and widening CCC credit spreads. While equity markets have remained remarkably stable, bond markets have borne much of the strain from recent macroeconomic and geopolitical developments. Many observers hailed the latest nonfarm payrolls report as evidence of a resilient labor market, but the underlying figures were considerably less reassuring. Wage growth slowed, labor force participation remained depressed, and the number of long term unemployed continued to rise. Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Bessent's $6 billion repurchase operation, three times the size of the most recent operations, did little to calm the bond market. The 30 year Treasury yield climbed to 5.3%, while the 10 year yield reached 4.84%. Mortgage rates followed, with the 30 year rate rising to 6.97%, adding further pressure to an already fragile housing market and, by extension, consumer spending. Geopolitical tensions provided another source of unease as Iran and the United States escalated their conflict, pushing oil above $100 a barrel and gasoline to $4.27 a gallon, its highest level in several months. Taken together, the week offered an increasingly stark contrast between the relative calm in equities and the mounting strains evident across bond and credit markets.

Episode 257 dives deep into the remarkable journey of Yngvild Kaspersen, fresh off her commanding 2026 CCC victory — a pacing masterclass that made her the first woman ever to win the race twice. We rewind to 2015, exploring her beginnings in skyrunning, the technical foundations that shaped her style, and the early promise that hinted at greatness. Yngvild opens up about balancing medical studies with elite racing, and the long‑standing question of identity: doctor who runs, or runner who is a doctor. We revisit her post‑Covid struggles, the breakthrough CCC win in 2023, and her emotional chapter at Western States. Then we break down her flawless 2026 performance — patience, precision, and a late‑race surge that defined the week. Finally, we look ahead: Western States 2027, UTMB 2028, and the next evolution of one of mountain running's most intelligent competitors. A decade of growth. A champion at her peak. A conversation not to miss.

“What do Protestants misunderstand about the Bible?” This question opens a discussion on key theological differences, while also addressing how to engage with friends who hold sedevacantist views, the significance of papal condemnations, and the role of the Rosary in Catholic practice. The conversation spans various topics, providing insights into Catholic beliefs and practices. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 01:00 – What do Protestants misunderstand about the bible? 12:47 – My friend is a Sedevacantist. How can I talk to him and tell him that sedevacantism is not Catholic? 21:20 – Reviewing what clips from movies and series I can use for my Bible classes, there’s a huge gap from Daniel (538 BC) to the birth of Christ. Does anyone know of a movie set in Judea in the Persian/Greek/early Roman period 538 BC-4 BC? 28:57 – Outside of the CCC what suggested readings do you have for learning about what it means to be Catholic? 35:01 – what should I do because I'm really trying to leave 1st Calvary Baptist Church and he tells me the Rosary is not in the Bible!! What should I do? 38:27 – How authoritative are papal condemnations (calling X doctrine “heresy”) by early popes (and/or doctors of the church) in their letters/theological treatises? (For example the Agnoete controversy) 44:03 – Can you explain the different eastern rites specifically the Syro-malabar rite? How can you explain to our Protestants and Orthodox friends that they are also Catholic? 50:31 – How is it that the Orthodox Church is valid if they don’t follow the Pope?

You tell your teen it's time to put the phone away.They say, “I'm almost done.”Ten minutes later, you're asking again.And suddenly you're no longer talking about a phone.You're arguing about fairness, trust, independence, and whether you're “too controlling.”If screen-time limits keep turning into nightly power struggles, the answer may not be a bigger consequence.It may be a clearer plan.In this episode of the Single Parenting Reset Show, Tess Connolly, LCSW, explains how to set screen-time boundaries that are clear, predictable, and easier to enforce without getting pulled into endless arguments.You'll learn why trying to create the boundary during the conflict usually makes things worse — and what to do instead.Tess walks you through a simple three-step reset you can use with tweens and teens:1. Set the limit outside the conflict.2. Make the expectation concrete.3. When your teen pushes back, use fewer words.You'll also learn Tess's simple:Acknowledge. Limit. Choice.framework for responding when your teen argues about a phone or screen boundary.Instead of explaining, defending, lecturing, or negotiating your way through another screen-time fight, you'll have clear language to use.Try:“I hear that you're frustrated.”“The phone still parks at 10.”“You can plug it in now, or take two minutes to finish what you're doing and plug it in yourself.”Your teenager may still dislike the boundary.That's okay.The goal isn't to make your teen happy about every limit.The goal is to create boundaries they can understand, predict, and eventually learn to manage themselves.Because connection before correction does not mean parenting without limits.You can protect the relationship and still be the parent.⭐️ Download the Tween and Teen Conflict Reset Kit for scripts and a step-by-step plan to help you stay regulated, reduce power struggles, and respond more effectively during difficult conversations:Tween & Teen Conflict Reset Kit for seven practical scripts and a First-Ten-Minutes Plan.⭐Download the free Tech Reset Agreement to create clearer family expectations around phones, gaming, sleep, school responsibilities, and family connection:

New York Times' bestselling author Larry McDonald, founder of The Bear Traps Report, returns to The Julia La Roche Show to break down what he's hearing from the veteran investors in his network — and the shift he's watching in real time. Portfolio managers who spent two years as raging bulls have turned bearish on the financials and are quietly spending a slice of their gains on downside protection while volatility is cheap. McDonald walks through the mechanics of the data center financing boom: hundreds of billions in off-balance-sheet debt from the hyperscalers, the banks now holding that exposure, and the credit default swaps those same banks are buying on the Mag 7. He explains why he sees a late-2006 rhyme in private credit and the CCC market, why diesel prices could re-spark inflation over the next few CPI prints, and why the most crowded trade on Wall Street right now may be the bearish one on bonds. Plus: the "supernova" dynamic that turns a hot economy into a fast recession, why he's still long hard assets, and the one risk he thinks almost nobody is talking about.Thank you to our partners Augusta Precious Metals — To learn more, visit https://juliabuysgold.com/ or text “Julia" to 35052Monetary Metals - learn more at https://www.monetary-metals.com/julia/Links: How To Listen When Markets Speak: https://www.amazon.com/Listen-When-Markets-Speak-Opportunities-ebook/dp/B0C4DFVFNR Colossal Failure of Common Sense: https://www.amazon.com/Colossal-Failure-Common-Sense-Collapse/dp/B002IFLWMKTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/Convertbond Bear Traps Report: https://www.thebeartrapsreport.com/0:00 — Intro1:18 — A million books sold, and what the ideas dinners reveal3:07 — Where the smart money is shifting right now4:39 — How investors are buying protection: CDS, puts, VIX ETFs5:35 — Late cycle: data center financing and the Mag 7's cash burn7:00 — Meta's $30B off-balance-sheet financing and what banks did next8:22 — Why banks are buying CDS on the companies they lend to9:42 — Lehman Systemic Risk Indicators: CCCs, LQD, private credit11:00 — "You're manufacturing Bernie Madoffs": no business cycle, no cleansing12:21 — Midterms, the Treasury, and the DSA risk to the long end17:00 — Why inflation isn't as tame as it looks — diesel is the tell18:56 — Scott Bessent vs. the "faculty lounge" Treasury21:44 — The Google bond at 88, the Apple bond at 4923:39 — Are there hidden SVBs out there?25:55 — The contrarian trade: buying duration when everyone's bearish27:42 — What the bond market is signaling29:40 — Why the bad news is 80-90% priced in31:49 — The supernova effect and how recessions actually start33:06 — Hedging equities: puts on the financials at record price-to-book34:30 — Biggest under-the-radar risk36:00 — What he's still long: energy, coal, copper, gold miners37:22 — Where to find the Bear Traps Report

This weekend, Pastor Jimmy explores Matthew 11:28–30 and what it means to find rest by allowing Jesus to become the organizing principle of our lives. When we stop looking to achievement, productivity, relationships, or other “scoreboards” to define our worth, we can rest in the truth that Jesus has already done everything necessary for us to be loved and accepted by God. Because our worth isn't something we have to earn, we can come to Jesus just as we are and find lasting rest for our souls.

Your teenager looks you in the eye and says:“You can't make me.”Those four words can make a parent feel as though their authority is being tested—and that they need to win the moment immediately.But responding with “Oh, yes I can” usually turns the original issue into a power struggle. Now the conflict is no longer about the phone, chore, curfew, or family expectation. It's about who will back down first.In this Quick Reset, Tess gives you a calmer and more effective response:“I'm not going to physically force you. The expectation is still ______. If you choose not to do it, ______ will happen. I'll give you a minute.”You'll learn how to communicate the boundary, offer your teen appropriate responsibility for their choice, and step away without giving up your parental authority.In this episode, you'll learn:Why “You can't make me” pulls parents into a power struggleThe exact script to use instead of saying “Oh, yes I can”Why fewer words and a lower voice are more effectiveHow to choose a related, reasonable, and enforceable outcomeWhat to say if your teen keeps arguingWhy your teen's immediate reaction is not the best measure of whether your response workedWhen a situation requires protective action rather than a communication scriptThe goal is not to overpower your teenager or force them to agree with you.The goal is to stay grounded, hold the boundary, and protect the relationship while you follow through.Because the relationship is the intervention—and connection and authority can exist at the same time.⭐️ Download the Tween and Teen Conflict Reset Kit for scripts and a step-by-step plan to help you stay regulated, reduce power struggles, and respond more effectively during difficult conversations:Tween & Teen Conflict Reset Kit for seven practical scripts and a First-Ten-Minutes Plan.⭐Download the free Tech Reset Agreement to create clearer family expectations around phones, gaming, sleep, school responsibilities, and family connection:

Your teenager rolls their eyes, insults you, says “whatever,” or slams the door—and your entire body reacts.You immediately think:They cannot speak to me this way.So you take the phone, cancel the weekend, or announce a punishment. But now the original problem has disappeared, and you are trapped in an even bigger power struggle about the consequence.Teen disrespect should not be ignored, but it does not always require an immediate punishment.In this episode of The Single Parenting Reset Show, Tess Connolly, LCSW, explains what to do during the critical moments before deciding on a consequence.You'll learn how to distinguish between a dysregulated teenager, a teenager using disrespect to avoid a responsibility, and harmful behavior that requires repair or a consequence.Tess walks you through the three-part Before-Consequence Check:Pause your reaction.Sort the behavior.Choose the response.You'll also learn:Why pausing does not weaken your parental authorityHow to address disrespect without losing the original boundaryWhen to ask your teenager for a communication redoHow to require repair without demanding a forced apologyWhen a consequence is genuinely necessaryHow to make consequences connected, proportionate, and enforceableWhat to say when your teenager refuses to continue the conversationYou'll leave with practical scripts you can use during real conflicts—not simply ideas that sound good when everyone is calm.Download the Tween and Teen Conflict Reset Kit for scripts and a step-by-step plan to help you stay regulated, reduce power struggles, and respond more effectively during difficult conversations:Tween & Teen Conflict Reset Kit for seven practical scripts and a First-Ten-Minutes Plan.⭐Download the free Tech Reset Agreement to create clearer family expectations around phones, gaming, sleep, school responsibilities, and family connection:

The Life of David

Ground beef hit a record $6.90 a pound in spring 2026 and has stayed there — $6.89 in July. And in August, the Trump administration responded three times in eight days: a 300,000 metric-ton import quota, a signed proclamation, and a social media post promising ranchers could process and sell their own cattle. Objections came from inside the president's own party, with more than a dozen Republican senators and 21 House Republicans raising concerns.So TCS went to the paperwork. Steve Ellis and Director of Research and Policy Josh Sewell pulled every presidential and agency action touching agriculture and food prices since January of last year: 16 presidential actions, four more from agencies, and not one requiring a new vote in Congress.Josh sorts out what actually carries the force of law — executive orders, agency rules, proclamations, and Truth Social posts — and why the beef proclamations under Section 404 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act don't touch the real problem. The smallest July cattle herd since 1973. A near-closed Mexican border since May 2025 because of screwworm. Diesel at $5.65 a gallon. The farm share of the retail beef dollar down to 51 percent. And $39.1 billion in farm subsidies since January of last year — including $12 billion in Farmer Bridge payments drawn from the Commodity Credit Corporation's $30 billion line of credit, with roughly none of it headed to cattle producers.With the CCC checkbook sitting open, no farm bill out of committee, and lawmakers floating a cap increase to $90 billion, this isn't a story about beef. It's a story about who decides.

In this episode, we discuss how Most U.S. investment grade and high yield borrowers appear positioned to withstand refinancing costs, but CCC rated issuers face greater pressure as elevated yields meet weaker balance sheets.​‌ The discussion and content provided within this podcast is intended for informational purposes only and may not be appropriate for all investors.

In this episode of Beyond Retirement, Jacquie speaks with Anne Van Leynseele, creator of Preferment, about why the traditional idea of retirement may no longer serve today's retirees. Anne believes that after decades of building careers, raising families, and meeting obligations, the post-career years should be viewed as a promotion rather than a withdrawal from life.We explore the identity challenges many people face when work ends, why so many retirees feel lost despite having financial plans in place, and how curiosity, purpose, and intentional exploration can help create a fulfilling next chapter. Anne shares practical examples of people who rediscovered forgotten passions, found new communities, and built meaningful lives around activities they genuinely enjoy.Key Topics CoveredWhy retirement was designed for a different eraThe concept of “Preferment” and what it meansIdentity loss after leaving a successful careerWhy hobbies alone often aren't enoughExpanding interests into meaningful life themesThe importance of physical, intellectual, and social engagementAdapting passions as circumstances changeRelationships and marriage after retirementLearning to say no and let go of obligationsBuilding a life based on joy rather than achievementGuest LinksWebsite: rarifiedlife.comRelated Episodes#296 - Michael Kay – Chapter X and Finding Purpose#302 - Sandy Laneville – Building Community After Retirement#312 - Marianne Oehser – Your Happiness Portfolio for Retirement (coming soon)*********************Don't forget to check out Aging With Purpose and Passion, a podcast for women over 50 navigating major life transitions.Hosted by Beverley Glazer, MA, CCC, Work and Life Transition Coach, each episode brings you real stories, practical strategies, and expert insights from women who have faced adversity and created meaningful new chapters in life, work, health, and relationships.If you're feeling uncertain, invisible, restless, or ready for change, this podcast helps you gain confidence, clarity and momentum.Because your best years were never defined by your age.

As we wrap up our More Than Religion series, Pastor Joe walks through Psalm 103 and reminds us that one of the greatest challenges we face in our relationship with God is simply forgetting. David speaks to his own soul, calling himself to remember God's gifts, character, and power. As we remember his forgiveness, steadfast love, mercy, justice, and everlasting power, we are reminded that there is nothing better than being close to God.

Your teen walks through the door, barely looks at you, and heads straight to their room.You ask what happened.They say, “Nothing.”You try again.They answer, “I'm fine. Just leave me alone.”For many parents, especially single parents carrying the emotional weight of the family, this moment can feel deeply personal. You may worry that your teen no longer trusts you or that the distance between you is becoming permanent.The more worried you become, the more questions you may ask. But when your teen is overwhelmed, embarrassed, ashamed, angry, or simply unable to put an experience into words, repeated questions can feel like pressure.Giving your teen space does not mean ignoring them. Staying connected does not require forcing them to talk.The goal is to show your teen:I notice you.I care about what is happening.I can respect your need for space.I will not emotionally disappear.I am available when you are ready.In this Quick Reset episode, you'll learn five scripts to use when your teen shuts you out:What to say when your teen refuses to talk.How to name what you notice without assuming you know what happened.How to ask whether they want listening, help, or space.How to check for safety without demanding every detail.How to give space while creating a clear time to reconnect.Tess also shares concrete parent-and-teen examples, what to do when you have already pushed too hard, and why a conversation that doesn't happen immediately can still represent parenting progress.If this episode helped you, follow the show and share it with another parent who may need these words today.The relationship is the intervention.If this episode helped, follow The Single Parenting Reset Show on Apple Podcasts so the next practical reset is waiting for you.Download the Tween and Teen Conflict Reset Kit for scripts and a step-by-step plan to help you stay regulated, reduce power struggles, and respond more effectively during difficult conversations:Tween & Teen Conflict Reset Kit for seven practical scripts and a First-Ten-Minutes Plan.⭐Download the free Tech Reset Agreement to create clearer family expectations around phones, gaming, sleep, school responsibilities, and family connection:

Send us Fan MailUTMB week brings out the most honest kind of sports conversation: we have a stacked start list, a million storylines, and almost no certainty once the race hits the high climbs and the long night. Nick Tusa joins me for a focused UTMB and CCC preview where we argue through the men's and women's fields, call our shots, and explain what we think actually decides Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc when everyone is fit.On the men's side, we dig into the big questions around Jim Walmsley and Kilian Jornet lining up after Western States DNFs and why UTMB is a totally different test with more hiking, longer climbs, and way less room for error. We talk about Caleb Olsen's upside as a mountain athlete, John Alban's winning profile, and why names like Josh Wade, Hannes Namberger, Zach Miller, and Theodore Diente sit right on that edge between a career day and a hard blow-up. Then we make a clear call on who we think wins, including the case for Ben Diemon and the mental side of “closing” when the podium is in reach.On the women's side, it turns into one of the best matchups in trail running: Ruth Croft returning as defending UTMB champion against Courtney Dauwalter, who is always capable of rewriting what we think is possible. We also hit the depth behind them with Marianne Hogan, Abby Hall, Rachel Drake, and more, plus the wild card factor of limited UTMB experience across parts of the field.We wrap with a CCC preview full of redemption and breakthrough potential, including why certain runners look ready to finally get over the hump.

Send us Fan MailLove him or hate him, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, mostly known as FDR, was a person known for many things -- being the longest serving President; being born into the wealthy elite class, yet remembering the little people; defying expectations by running the country from a wheelchair; marrying extremely well by bagging Eleanor, a much-loved lady; and the alphabet soup of social programs that put people back to work during the dustbowl, Depression and dark gloom of World Wars.  The New Deal, The TVA, SEC, AAA, WPA, CCC and FLSA, among others, are on his list.  And if you don't think any of those letters might apply to you in the current age?  If you collect Social Security, are entitled to minimum wage, or have more banking confidence from the FDIC, you might want to read up on this guy.  Or you can listen in today, as we visit with Park Ranger Kevin Oldenburg.And the funny part?  The title that FDR said was most satisfying…is "Tree Farmer." Links:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_D._Roosevelthttps://www.fdrlibrary.org/https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/1600/presidents/franklindrooseveltSupport the show

Your teen comes home, closes their bedroom door, and gives you one-word answers.You ask how their day was.“Fine.”You ask whether anything happened.“No.”You ask if they are upset with you.“I don't know. Can you please leave me alone?”You are asking because you care—but the more you try to get your teen talking, the further away they seem to move.Teen silence can trigger enormous fear in a parent. You may worry that something is wrong, that your teen no longer trusts you, or that your relationship is slipping away.This can feel especially intense when you are parenting alone or carrying most of the emotional responsibility for your family. There may not be another adult beside you to help hold the worry, so you understandably try harder to get information.But your teen may experience those repeated questions as pressure, monitoring, or an expectation to talk before they are ready.Their silence does not automatically mean they do not love you or need you. Sometimes it means they are overwhelmed, embarrassed, tired, afraid of a reaction, or still trying to understand their own feelings.In this episode, you will learn:Why teenagers often shut down with the people they love mostHow your own fear can unintentionally create more pressureWhy asking fewer questions can sometimes lead to more communicationHow to create low-pressure opportunities for connectionWhat to do when your teen shares one small piece of informationHow advice, fixing, and lectures can close the door againHow to repair the pattern if conversations have become tenseWhen teen withdrawal may require more direct attention and supportThe goal is not to find the perfect question that makes your teen tell you everything.The goal is to become the parent with whom your teen feels safe bringing the difficult things.If this episode helped you, follow The Single Parenting Reset Show on Apple Podcasts so the next practical reset is waiting for you.You can also download my free Tween and Teen Conflict Reset Kit, which gives you practical scripts and a plan for staying grounded during difficult moments with your tween or teen.

Send us Fan MailUTMB week has a way of making trail running feel bigger than sport. The streets of Chamonix fill up, legends stroll past like it's normal, and suddenly a 60K like OCC feels like the center of the universe. We're back with Nick Tusa to break down why this year's OCC field looks so deep, how the course changes keep reshaping the short trail world, and why tactics matter as much as fitness when everyone's fast.We dig into the men's side with a real focus on decision-making: who can stay patient, who risks detonating early, and why “letting guys go” might be the difference between a podium and a long walk home. We talk veterans with course reps, skyrunning talent jumping in, and the Americans we're most curious about when the pace goes nuclear. Then we pivot to the women's race, where one question hangs over everything: how do you beat someone who doesn't crack? We lay out what it would take to pressure Tove Alexandersson, who has the downhill and durability to try it, and why Lauren Gregory vs the field could turn into a defining moment.After OCC, we zoom out to UTMB and CCC for the biggest storylines of the week: Jim and Kilian after Western States DNFs, Ben Dhiman's closing problem, and the women's title fight with Ruth Croft and Courtney Dauwalter.

Show NotesIn this solo episode of Beyond Retirement, Jacquie explores a surprisingly common retirement challenge: knowing you have freedom but having no idea what to do with it.Inspired by a recent conversation with Norman Calvo, she shares a practical exercise called the “10 and 10 List”, a simple way to generate possibilities without needing to discover your life's purpose first. If retirement feels open-ended, uncertain, or lacking direction, this episode offers a gentle framework for creating momentum through curiosity and experimentation.Key IdeasWhy retirement often feels harder than expectedThe hidden challenge of losing structureWhy your mind goes blank when asked what comes nextBuilding your “possibility muscle”Creating a 10 and 10 ListUsing small experiments instead of big commitmentsHow to evaluate new activitiesTurning curiosity into actionReflection QuestionsWhat activities have you always been curious about?What interests did you set aside during your working years?Which possibilities feel energizing rather than obligatory?What is one small step you could take this week?How might experimentation create clarity?Related EpisodesNorman Calvo: Retirement as ReinventionLiving Intentionally After RetirementRebuilding Purpose Through CuriosityREADY TO RAMP UP YOUR RETIREMENT JOURNEY?Start here: https://beyondretirement.ca/start-here/Book a FREE call with Jacquie: https://calendly.com/jacquiedoucette/discoveryCheck out the Beyond Retirement Library: https://placeforbooks.com***************************Don't forget to check out Aging With Purpose and Passion, a podcast for women over 50 navigating major life transitions.Hosted by Beverley Glazer, MA, CCC, Work and Life Transition Coach, each episode brings you real stories, practical strategies, and expert insights from women who have faced adversity and created meaningful new chapters in life, work, health, and relationships.If you're feeling uncertain, invisible, restless, or ready for change, this podcast helps you gain confidence, clarity and momentum.Because your best years were never defined by your age.

As we continue our More Than Religion series, Pastor Zach explores what it means to have a genuine relationship with God and how we can know the Holy Spirit is present in our lives. Through Romans 8:16–18 and other passages, we see that our relationship with God isn't something we manufacture through religious effort–it's a supernatural relationship made possible by the presence of the Holy Spirit. Pastor Zach walks through four ways the Spirit works in us: on us, in us, for us, and through us, reminding us that even our desire to grow in our relationship with God is evidence of his work in our lives.

Read OnlineClothed in GraceBut when the king came in to meet the guests he saw a man there not dressed in a wedding garment. He said to him, ‘My friend, how is it that you came in here without a wedding garment?' But he was reduced to silence. Then the king said to his attendants, ‘Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.' Many are invited, but few are chosen.” Matthew 22:11–14Among the many layers in today's Gospel parable, perhaps the most sobering is the image of the guest without a wedding garment. He symbolizes a soul who has received the invitation to salvation but failed to prepare interiorly. Though present at the feast, he is not clothed with the “wedding garment,” which the Church Fathers commonly interpreted as sanctifying grace adorned with charity. Outwardly he may appear to belong, but inwardly he lacks the necessary disposition of soul.The wedding feast represents the Kingdom of Heaven—a life of grace in the present and, ultimately, eternal union with God in glory. The invitation went first to Israel and now extends to all nations through the Church. In His mercy, God desires to fill His banquet hall. He wills that all be saved, but His justice, which works in perfect harmony with His mercy, requires proper spiritual readiness.When the king encounters him, the guest without the garment is speechless. He cannot excuse himself; the invitation was free, the conditions clear—you must be clothed with grace and adorned with charity. As a result of his lack of preparedness, he is cast into the outer darkness. This moment reveals the fate of those who presume they are saved without genuine repentance, prayer, and a life grounded in grace.This parable stands as a powerful warning against the sin of presumption—the false assurance that one may enter Heaven without ongoing conversion or a sincere effort to live the Gospel. It is not enough to be counted among the invited: attending Mass, bearing the name Catholic, or fulfilling outward duties. One must be inwardly transformed, clothed with grace and charity, so that the life of Christ shines from within.Of all the sins referenced in the Gospel, none are more spiritually perilous than the sins against the Holy Spirit—presumption being counted among them (cf. CCC 1864; Mark 3:29). Presumption is grave because it twists trust in God's mercy into a license to sin, rejecting the urgency of conversion. Presumption assumes salvation without repentance or postpones it indefinitely, hardening the heart and dulling the conscience until it is too late.Saint Thomas Aquinas, who identifies six sins against the Holy Spirit, teaches that presumption is opposed to the theological virtue of hope (ST II-II, q. 14, a. 2). True hope rests on God's promises and grace; presumption mimics hope but lacks substance and action. It arises when one expects eternal life without having lived charitably toward others or believes forgiveness is assured without repentance, presuming that God will grant salvation even to those who have not obeyed His will. In doing so, one rejects the very means by which the Holy Spirit brings about salvation.Reflect today on the man cast out from the feast. Though he was invited, he failed to be properly clothed in grace. Jesus offers this parable not to condemn, but to awaken us to the need for ongoing purification of heart. In many ways, the wedding feast is an image of our parish churches, where the banquet of the Lamb is continually offered in the Holy Eucharist. All are invited—but only those properly disposed through humility, repentance, and faith can enter fully into the joy of the Eternal Feast, which begins here and now through the worthy reception of the Eucharist. Consider your own participation in the Holy Mass and strive to adorn your soul with the beauty of charity, for without this garment of grace, we will be cast out of the eternal Banquet of Heaven.Most merciful and just Lord, though You invite all to share in the Feast of Grace—both the Eucharist in this life and the Heavenly Banquet in the next—Your Divine Justice requires hearts properly disposed to receive Your grace. Grant me, I pray, the grace of continual repentance, that I may always remain open to the gift of sanctifying grace. May that grace transform me interiorly and bear fruit in the charity to which You call me. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: The Parable of the Wedding Feast, by Francisco de GoyaSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc.
