Ever feel like every scroll brings a new rule for your body? We sit down with Dr. Emily Fender, a health communication scientist whose research tracks how women's health messages spread across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube—and why the loudest claims aren't always the most useful. Together, we break down a simple lens you can use anywhere online: threat versus efficacy. Are you being scared into attention, or actually given steps and resources to act? That distinction shows up in everything from contraception myths to perinatal mental health, where severity gets clicks but supportive guidance often goes missing.We dig into cycle syncing and the difference between evidence, overreach, and personalized training. You'll hear why rigid phase-based rules can backfire, creating shame and cost barriers, and how athletes worry these narratives label women as fragile for half the month. We zoom out to the bigger system: incentives that reward certainty, influencer marketing that sells protocols, and even expertise drift when clinicians post outside their lane. Then we get practical about risk communication—turning relative risk into absolute numbers, spotting absolute statements, and demanding receipts when someone says “studies show.”We also scout the horizon with AI. Some tools can surface studies and highlight exact evidence, but they can't replace synthesis or context. Deepfakes and confident summaries raise the bar for skepticism, so we share a quick checklist to stress test posts before you share or act: scope, sources, statistics, and a simple “does this make sense” pass. Use social media for community, discovery, and momentum—then ground your choices in evidence, your values, and your lived experience. If you've been craving fewer rules and more clarity, this conversation offers a calmer, smarter way to navigate women's health online. Subscribe, share with a friend who lifts, and leave a review to tell us the one claim you want decoded next.___________________________________________________________________________Don't miss out on any of the TEA coming out of the Barbell Mamas by subscribing to our newsletter You can also follow us on Instagram and YouTube for all the up-to-date information you need about pelvic health and female athletes.

Why is it so hard to make decisions today that benefit you years from now? In this episode, we're diving into one of the most powerful — and underused — tools for long-term financial change: Future Financial You. You'll learn why most people struggle to delay gratification, why saving and long-term planning feel unnatural to the brain, and how the lack of connection to your future self keeps you stuck in short-term patterns — even when you know better. We'll explore the neuroscience behind future-self connection, why vague visions don't pull you forward, and how to stop trying to buy transformation through aspirational spending. Instead, you'll learn how to build your future from the inside out — through identity, emotional capacity, habits, time, and relationships. This episode walks you through a powerful framework and reflective exercise that helps you turn your future self into a real source of accountability — not through discipline or restriction, but through self-respect and care.

Physical therapists Ziya Altug and Shirish Sachdeva discuss their article "Why your clinic waiting room may affect patient outcomes."

The conversation highlights specific needs for pediatric patients and how transparency through technology can build trust between patients and health care providers. Understanding these environmental factors allows clinics to foster a sense of safety and improve the overall care experience through intentional design interventions.

Lots of local talk today. The Jets' coaching search turns into a "disaster," with Aaron Glenn taking over defensive play-calling while the team desperately courts Frank Reich to salvage the offense. We talk a Knicks trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo that could cost them big players, plus, the Rangers' decision to bench Artemi Panarin. Sean Payton's odd comments on Bo Nix's injury and the Yankees welcoming back Cody Bellinger round things up, and we even have time for a few laughs here and there.

Create a life that actually energizes you with The Sweet Spot Playbook. https://schoolofselfimage.com/sweetspot If you crave more elegant days, you're in the right place.  Because – let's be honest, the world doesn't feel very elegant right now. People are at each other's throats. Anxiety seems to be the dominant global emotion. There's tension in the air, and so many women I talk to feel unmotivated, overwhelmed, or stuck. Or all three.  Here's what I believe: People are craving elegance. They just don't realize it. What I've discovered is that most elegant days aren't about what I accomplish. They're about five specific choices I make – five tensions I navigate. When I get these right, everything clicks.  Here's what we cover: • What elegance really means – and why it has nothing to do with appearance • The difference between restraint and reactivity (and how composure preserves your power) • How constraint – not overwhelm – creates spacious, satisfying days • Why savoring the present moment is the antidote to rushing and anxiety • The shift from chasing "more" to living from a sense of enough • How creating more than you consume restores aliveness, confidence, and elegance Did you enjoy this episode?

Rather than predicting the future, this work focuses on helping you recognize what's running your life right now, and how to participate more consciously in your own spiritual growth. We unpack how intuition actually works, why skepticism can be healthy (and necessary), and how consciousness may behave more like a relational system than a static database.

India's Gen Z is a mystery for any economist. They make less money in real inflation-adjusted terms than the previous generation, the millennials, but they spend much more on consumption and experiences than any other generation did. While their parents saved to build assets, Gen Z has very little savings. In fact, they often have huge amounts of debt—credit card payments that they have rolled over, or personal loans they have taken—without a concrete plan on how to pay them back. The reason for this can be encapsulated in one term: Financial Nihilism. In a brand-new episode of 'Caught in the Middle', senior business journalist Aunindyo Chakravarty explains why Gen Zs don't believe in conventional financial wisdom, instead choosing to learn everything about investments from Instagram influencers.

It's very difficult to believe that there is not just one correct choice. As long as an actor is clear what the text is about, there are countless roads in to the experience of the world of the play.

Show NotesKeywords: discernment, decision-making, trust, wisdom, clarity, pressure, faith, guidance, spiritual growth, prayerSummary - In this episode, Ms. G emphasizes the significance of discernment in decision-making. She discusses how discernment goes beyond making good choices, highlighting its role in recognizing what is truly right versus what merely feels right. Ms. G addresses the pressures that can cloud our judgment and the importance of slowing down to seek clarity through prayer and reflection. She encourages listeners to trust in God during their decision-making processes, emphasizing that discernment requires honesty and patience.TakeawaysDiscernment is essential for making life-shaping decisions.Not everything that feels right is aligned with God's will.Pressure can hinder our ability to discern wisely.Slowing down allows for spiritual clarity and reflection.Prayer is a vital tool for seeking wisdom in decisions.Honesty with ourselves is crucial in the discernment process.Trusting God means choosing faith over fear.Timing is key in decision-making; waiting can be preparation.Staying connected to God sharpens our discernment.Choosing clarity, wisdom, and faith leads to peace in decision-making.The Power of Discernment in Decision-MakingNavigating Life's Choices with Clarity"Slowing down is spiritual.""Waiting isn't wasting time.""Move with wisdom and trust God."

Nick could be forced into a locked psychiatric facility against his will. The Reiners obtained the most powerful legal tool California offers families dealing with severe mental illness. It lasted one year. Four years later, both parents are dead.Here's what the law actually does: if a family provides food, clothing, and shelter for a mentally ill loved one, that person may no longer qualify as "gravely disabled." The conservatorship can expire not because the patient improved—but because loving parents kept caring. The system forces families to choose between supporting their children and maintaining legal authority to force treatment. The Reiners appear to have been trapped by that impossible choice.We break down the full timeline: 2019 police calls to the Brentwood home. Nick's reported schizophrenia diagnosis around 2020. The conservatorship that ended after one year. The medication change approximately one month before the killings that sources say triggered a "complete break from reality." And we examine why former conservator Steven Baer will almost certainly testify—and what that means for both prosecution and defense strategies.But the Reiner case is a symptom of a sixty-year policy failure. Before California's 1967 Lanterman-Petris-Short Act, families could petition courts to hospitalize violent, psychotic relatives. That system is gone. Today, someone can be paranoid, delusional, and dangerous but still walk out the door if they can say where they're going to sleep. California went from 37,000 patients in state hospitals to fewer than 1,500 on involuntary conservatorships.The conservatorship didn't fail because the Reiners failed. It may have failed because the law worked exactly as designed. Two bodies later, the system finally has authority it wouldn't grant the people who loved him.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #LPSConservatorship #StevenBaer #Deinstitutionalization #MentalHealthLaw #HiddenKillers #CaliforniaLaw #SystemFailureJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode, coach JK shares his POV on the difference between making a choice and deciding what your options are. The episode centers on the idea that commitment happens once, up front. After that, the work isn't about renegotiating the decision, but about giving yourself multiple ways to follow through when life, energy, or schedules don't cooperate.----Instagram: @coachJKmcleodEmail: JK@jkmcleod.com

There's a tale as old as time itself: an athlete, a star, a musician—someone of sheer brilliance and raw talent—bursts onto the scene, destined for greatness. In this message, Pastor Eric Robertson shares through Sampson's story how grace doesn't always stop the fall. Sometimes it lets you feel the ground.They show all the signs. They excel. They taste success early. And then everything comes crashing down. Addiction. Entitlement. Laziness. Self-destruction. It's rarely one bad decision—it's years of unchecked compromise finally collecting its debt.This isn't new. It's been happening since ancient times. Samson is a biblical picture of wasted potential.After Joshua and the elders die, Israel breaks covenant with God and worships the idols of the surrounding nations. A pattern emerges: idolatry, oppression, crying out, and deliverance through a Judge.But something changes in Judges 13. Israel is no longer crying out. They've grown comfortable in oppression and compromise. A compromise is a tradeoff between the Kingdom of God and the corruption of the world—having every good thing from God, yet wanting the one thing you cannot have.Enter Samson.Samson is a Judge of Israel, a Nazirite by birth, set apart for a higher level of consecration. The more corrupted a culture becomes, the more set apart God's people must be.Samson's life begins with extraordinary grace. God chooses him before he does anything right or wrong. Yet almost immediately, Samson lives against his calling. He desires what he was told to resist, touches what he was commanded to avoid, and goes where he was called not to go.Instead of delivering Israel, Samson reacts. A riddle becomes a feud. A marriage becomes a battlefield. A conflict becomes a massacre. He wins battles, but Israel is never delivered. Each time he crosses a line, the Spirit of the Lord still rushes upon him.God empowers him again and again—but God being with you is not proof of approval, only mercy.At the climax, Samson doesn't realize the Lord has left him. The bill for compromise always comes due. A compromised life hardens the heart until we forget what God's presence even feels like.Samson isn't the hero—God is. His grace is meant to lead us to repentance. The grace meant to break Samson ultimately crushed him.God is the real hero. He never gives up on us. His grace blocks our paths of destruction. Samson played with fire, and it burned him—but God's promise remains: if we turn and cry out, He will restore us.

He explains why switching to plain coffee is likely the safer, more beneficial choice for daily caffeine. Quotes to ponder: "Most health experts agree that the issue with energy drinks isn't necessarily their caffeine, but the amount of added sugar they contain as well as some of the other added ingredients." "Extra L-carnitine can increase a person's risk of developing cardiovascular disease."

The world feels loud, chaotic, and overwhelming—and a lot of people are waiting for something big to change before they feel better. In this episode of The Fitness League, we break down why that approach keeps us stuck, and why real change almost always starts with the smallest possible decisions. We unpack how tiny, repeatable choices shape behavior, identity, and eventually the culture inside your home and community. From decision fatigue and environment design to self-talk and leadership by example, this episode reframes change as something practical, controllable, and deeply impactful—even when the bigger picture feels out of reach. Rather than chasing motivation or grand gestures, we explore how designing your environment, simplifying decisions, and aligning daily actions with who you want to be can create a ripple effect far beyond just your own health. This conversation is about reclaiming agency, protecting your energy, and understanding how bettering yourself is one of the most meaningful ways to better the world around you. If you've felt helpless watching the state of the world—or frustrated that nothing seems to be working—this episode will give you a grounded, empowering place to start.

In this episode of the Acceptable Accuracy Podcast, hosts Tyler and Philip are joined by a large and rowdy cast for a classic hypothetical that every gear-minded shooter has argued about at least once: the zombie apocalypse. Each guest breaks down their picks for a primary weapon, secondary weapon, and melee option, along with the logic (and personal biases) behind those choices. From practical loadouts to completely unhinged selections, the conversation quickly turns into equal parts survival theory, friendly trash talk, and questionable decision-making. Whether you're planning for the end of the world or just here for the chaos, this episode is packed with laughs, hot takes, and plenty of “you'd definitely die first” moments.

Making Better Strategic Choices with Roger Martin   I'm thrilled to announce a new show with my dear friend, Roger Martin, author of the amazing book, Playing to Win. In this 12-part series, we'll explore the true meaning of strategy and how it's often misunderstood or misapplied in business today.   THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…leaders and strategists who are tired of strategy being confused with planning and want a clearer, more practical way to think about how real strategic choices drive results.   TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…strategy isn't a list of priorities or a collection of initiatives—it's an integrated set of choices that work together to drive customer behavior. In this conversation, Roger Martin explains why so many organizations misunderstand strategy, how that misunderstanding shows up in day-to-day decision-making, and what it really takes to close the gap between what leaders hope will happen and what actually does. Drawing on decades of experience, Roger challenges conventional strategy thinking and lays the groundwork for a more disciplined, choice-driven approach to winning.   KEY TAKEAWAYS… Strategy only works when choices reinforce one another, not when they exist as disconnected initiatives. The hardest—and most important—part of strategy is influencing customer behavior, not internal activity. Many companies mistake planning exercises for strategy, which leads to disappointing results.   WHAT I LOVE MOST…I love how clearly Roger reframes strategy as a set of deliberate, reinforcing choices. It's a powerful reminder that winning isn't about doing more things, it's about making better, more integrated choices.   Running Time: 21:22   Subscribe on iTunes     Find Tiffani Online: LinkedIn Facebook X    Find Roger Online: LinkedIn Website   Show Summary on Substack

We're continuing our Choices series with a powerful message titled "How To Choose Happiness." As we move through 2026, this message will help you see how the decisions you make every day can lead to a life filled with joy, peace, and purpose. Happiness isn't found by chance—it's discovered through wise, faith-filled choices, and God's Word gives us the guidance we need.

We're breaking down the chances of a Rex Ryan or Wink Martindale return, and the drama surrounding a winter ice storm that could shut down the city. Plus, the Mets land Luis Robert Jr., Harbaugh on Lamar Jackson, and a fake Broadway Joe message for Peter Schwartz.

A caller checks in to talk who Harbaugh might pick, so we run through some ideas.

Why do we force ourselves to accomplish, produce and take ground in the dead of winter?! When all of nature is slowing & hibernating - why are we bent on going & dominating?  This episode introduces the idea of “WINTERING” and how we might be missing the natural flow of navigating the seasons of life.  _ _ _ _ _Official WebsiteInstagramTwitterFacebookYouTube
