Does your calendar reflect what you say is important to you?As the year enters its final quarter, Monica Allen challenges entrepreneurs to resist two common reactions: giving up on unfinished goals or frantically trying to accomplish everything before December. Instead, she encourages business owners to celebrate their progress, reconsider what still matters, and intentionally make room for those priorities.In this episode of Become Your Own Boss, Monica explains why goals need more than good intentions—they need a place on the calendar. She shares how she reviews goals across business, family, education, and health and turns broad ambitions into specific actions. The final months of the year can still create meaningful progress, but it starts with deciding what deserves attention now.Episode Quote: What gets scheduled gets done.Questions answeredDoes your calendar reflect what you say is important to you?Which unfinished goals should you carry into the final quarter?When is it okay to let go of a goal?How can you turn a big goal into something you can actually schedule?Why does strategic work keep getting pushed aside?How can you protect appointments with the future of your business?How can you plan an intentional final quarter around real-life commitments?Could someone identify your priorities simply by looking at your calendar?There is still time to finish something meaningful, build momentum, and enter the new year stronger.

On this episode, we have a long and intense conversation with Keith Morgan, author of the adult biography Ruta's Closet, which tells the powerful true story of one Jewish family's survival during the Holocaust in Nazi-occupied Lithuania. Keith shares how the book—originally written for adults—has become a vital resource for teaching teens about this dark chapter of history, and how he's now working on age-appropriate versions and guides so parents and educators can share the story with younger readers. Keith recalls meeting Ruth, the survivor whose story he tells, and how her late-in-life decision to speak out turned into his own lifelong mission. He talks about the courageous rescuers who risked everything to save Jewish children, including Ruth's rescuer, and how these stories of bravery and neighborly kindness can offer hope even in the midst of horror. We also dig into the rise in antisemitism, the dangers of misinformation and conspiracy theories on social media, and why media literacy is now a crucial part of how we teach history to kids and teens. In the final segment, we shift gears and welcome Kelly Garrett, author of Poodessa and Duke Make Table Manners Great Again. Kelly shares how her upbeat, no-nonsense grandmother inspired both her main character and her mission to help kids rediscover reading, kindness, and good manners around the table. Together, these conversations offer parents and educators practical ways to raise thoughtful, empathetic, and well-informed kids—through the power of story.

From the beginning, something about the townhouse felt wrong. One night, the sliding closet doors in their daughter's room shook violently for nearly a minute, even though there had been no earthquake. Not long after that, a visiting family member came down the stairs convinced that two hands had shoved her from behind hard enough to send her crashing into the wall.Even her skeptical husband began acting strangely whenever he entered one particular closet, eventually moving everything out of it while refusing to explain what had frightened him.Still, they stayed.Then one night, she woke to the unmistakable feeling of someone repeatedly poking her in the chest, as if trying to get her attention. She assumed it was her husband and finally opened her eyes.That was the moment they decided they were done.#RealGhostStoriesOnline #HauntedTownhouse #ParanormalEncounter #PhysicalHaunting #HauntedCloset #GhostlyTouch #UnexplainedActivity #HauntedHouse #ParanormalExperience #TrueGhostStoriesLove real ghost stories?

Have you ever looked at your life and realized that while everything is functional on paper, you aren't actually present for it? Welcome to Reports from the Creative Closet! In this dispatch, I'm sharing one of the biggest reasons we feel so drained: we've built a system that treats human beings like machines, and then we do it to ourselves all over again when we get home. If you are tired of living on autopilot, running on a hamster wheel, and scrolling your evening away because you have nothing left in the tank, this episode is your invitation to step off the track and choose aliveness instead. In this episode, I discuss: The Hamster Wheel Trap: How selling our time for a paycheck can turn us into appliances on a hamster wheel and make us afraid to express agency. How "Shoulds" Contaminate Your Life: What a wild animal can teach us about breaking free from guilt and reclaiming how you actually live. The Efficiency Trap: Why fitting 20 pounds of tasks into a 1-pound bag is a great skill in moderation, but a disaster for your energy. Metal, Glass, and Real Life: Why screens are a simulacrum of connection and how to get back to real human presence. My Restorative Creativity Framework™: Why making messy, pointless things for the sheer joy of it is the fastest path back to feeling human.

Episode 251Susan McMurray spent 30 years in a classroom pouring into other people. This past summer she made something of her own: Kindred & Bloom, a magazine-style devotional for women with contributor articles in the front and a five-week devotional in the back, built to be an excuse to gather.We talk about the magazine she loved that stopped publishing, how the first issue's theme, Abide, came out of a class at her church, the women she asked to write for it, and Create and Connect, the fifth week where you put the reading down and make something with your hands.Susan names the thing under all of it: she read that over half of Americans feel unseen. Then she asks about the empty closet. If there is an empty closet in the house, we fill it with crud, and our schedules work the same way. The fix is margin, on purpose. And she is honest about starting: it was scary to take on something that was just hers, she got up at one in the morning to work on it, and her best advice is one line. Do not despise small beginnings.Meet Susan in person: she and Michelle Bruns of Pinspiration join Nancy for a live podcast in Tulsa on November 10, 6:30 to 8:30 pm, craft and magazine included.

Send us Fan MailOn this episode of the Less Stressed Life, we're switching things up and having a little fun with personal style. I'm talking with style coach Gillian Jakob Kieser about why figuring out what actually feels like you goes way beyond knowing your colors, following trends, or buying the pieces someone says everyone needs in their closet.Gillian walks me through the six style archetypes and we get into my own mix of natural, dramatic, and gamine. We also talk about why your style can change through different seasons of life, what your closet can teach you about yourself, and how understanding what you actually like can make getting dressed and shopping a whole lot easier (and more fun).FREEBIE: Gillian's Style Archetype Quiz - https://www.gillianjakobkieser.com/quizKEY TAKEAWAYS:

Heather Aardema woke up with terrible pain in her wrist and blamed her ski poles. It was rheumatoid arthritis. Her rheumatologist handed her brochure after brochure for drugs with side effects like liver damage, and when Heather asked about food, she was told there's no research and don't go looking. She went looking anyway, changed her diet, and around day 31 she woke up with no pain at all. She has never taken RA medication. We also talk about clutter, and not the kind you're picturing. Heather's definition includes the stuff on your counters, the people on your calendar, the thoughts in your head, and even the air in your house. And we get into the part that stops most of us: she cites a study where people were told they'd die if they didn't change, and only one in seven did. If you already know what you're supposed to be doing and still aren't doing it, this one is for you. Heather closes with one small step that takes a few minutes, and I tried it myself.

Jill is sad to see Charlotte leave, but knows it's time for her to get back to work and start this next chapter.The moms also tackle something many of us can relate to: how do we accumulate so much stuff?! They talk about cleaning out their closets, deciding what to keep and what to let go, and why one person's trash really can be another person's treasure.Then, things get futuristic as the moms debate whether AI is a helpful tool or the potential downfall of humanity. And while the future may be filled with robots, Melissa knows one thing for sure—she does NOT want one living in her house!Plus, the moms show some hometown pride as they talk about the best things to see and do in Pittsburgh, from the Andy Warhol Museum and the Steelers and Pirates to riding the Incline, eating great food and taking in everything the city has to offer.Have a question for the moms?

In this enlightening episode, Dr. Cristina Castagnini sits down with celebrity stylist and image consultant Jenni Lee to deconstruct the stressful relationship many women have with their wardrobes. For those struggling with body image or eating disorders, clothing can often feel like a daily battleground of triggers and self-judgment. Jenni Lee shares her "more styling, less shopping" philosophy, explaining how the fashion industry's inconsistent sizing and the poor quality of "fast fashion" are designed to make the consumer feel at fault, rather than the garment. By reframing the body as a "soft sculpture" and a work of art in progress, Jenni provides listeners with practical tools to reclaim their confidence and treat getting dressed as a form of self-care and identity-expression rather than a measure of worth.SHOW NOTES: Click hereFollow me on Instagram @behind_the_bite_podcastVisit the website: www.behindthebitepodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Dawn opens the hour with the new restrictions and price hikes hitting Eagles fans tailgating at the Sports Complex, reacting to the city's changes that have tailgaters dragging grills across parking lots. We dive into First Lady Melania Trump ringing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange to launch her brand-new Imperia Network. Dawn breaks down Melania's powerful message on women as the backbone of the economy, her global Fostering the Future initiative, and why the administration's focus on private enterprise is making real waves.

We react to Kamala Harris's viral comments on media access, debate the political fallout of rising gas prices tied to the Iran situation, and share a laugh over Judge Judy's fiery defense of American capitalism and traditional values.

John Ball came out years ago. That was not the hard part. The hard part was the second closet he built after, the professional one, where he learned to shrink, soften, and stay palatable so nobody in the room got uncomfortable. Ball breaks down how stand-up comedy taught him that boundaries do not make people leave, they make the right people stay, and how a room-sharing standoff with his family in Spain became the moment he stopped editing himself. This kicks off Gay in the Gayborhood, a new interview series pulling back the curtain on the men behind the mic. This one is for the man still performing comfortable. Key Takeaways Coming out does not end the shrinking, it just moves it into new roomsBoundaries do not make people leave, they make the right people stayStand-up comedy taught John Ball more about authenticity than any stage training ever didMaking other people comfortable at your own expense is a pattern, not a personality traitThis episode launches Gay in the Gayborhood, a new interview series featuring the men behind the micThe moment John stopped hiding was not on a stage, it was a conversation with his family in Spain About John John is a Keynote & Presentation coach who turns competent speakers into captivating ones. He works with professional speakers, coaches, and leadership teams who are done blending in. He hosts the Professional Speaking podcast for speakers who want to be known, booked, and paid what they're worth, and co-hosts The Coaching Clinic with his good friend Angie. His LinkedIn newsletter, Serious About Speaking, is exactly as punchy as it sounds. John spent over 15 years as lead online coach and trainer for T. Harv Eker, and years on the coaching team at The Speaker Lab helping professional speakers get booked and paid.

Today on Face2Face, David Peck is joined by Ian Goggins, Executive Vice President and Partner at Blue Fox Entertainment, to talk about Cinema Cellar, Criterion and the resurgence of physical media. We explore why a new generation is discovering the pleasure of owning films, the extraordinary response to Criterion's Toronto presence and the community that forms around our collections. Ian and David also talk about the care Criterion brings to cinema and the idea that the movies we choose to keep on our shelves reveal something about who we are. Because sometimes a film collection isn't just a collection it's a little piece of autobiography.Ian Goggins is Executive Vice President and Partner at Blue Fox Entertainment, where he works across film distribution, acquisitions and the company's growing physical media business. A lifelong film and music enthusiast, Goggins has spent his career helping connect audiences with distinctive films while building relationships with filmmakers, distributors and industry partners.Most recently, he has been closely involved in the launch of Cinema Cellar, Blue Fox Entertainment's new Toronto retail and online destination for physical media. The project grew in part from the remarkable response to the Criterion Collection's mobile Closet at the Toronto International Film Festival, where thousands of film lovers, many of them under 30, demonstrated a renewed enthusiasm for collecting and owning movies.For Goggins, physical media represents something beyond simply owning a film.

Your body changed, your life changed, and your closet didn't get the memo—here's how to fix that this fall. This week, we're talking to personal stylist Tiffany Wendel, who at 52 watched menopause change her body seemingly overnight—and responded by selling two-thirds of her own closet. Now she helps women edit, resell, and rebuild a wardrobe that fits who they are—not who they were 10 years ago. You'll learn her Three Vibe Rule (the no-fail formula for outfits that feel like you again), the one color move that makes an outfit go from "fine" to "wait, where'd you get that?", where to resell your old clothes for real cash, and the fall pieces worth investing in this season. New season, new vibe, new mojo, beauties. ✨ SPECIAL OFFER: This episode is brought to you by Alloy Health — get $20 OFF your first order of M4 Skincare at MyAlloy.com with code KATIE.

Developer IllFonic has officially patched out a controversial "Two-Person Power-Up" closet mini-game from its new asymmetrical 4v1 horror multiplayer title, Halloween: The Game. While intended as a tongue-in-cheek nod to slasher movie tropes, players quickly raised serious concerns when late-game reinforcement characters—specifically Dr. Samuel Loomis, bearing the likeness of the late actor Donald Pleasence—were able to trigger the suggestive audio encounters with teenage survivors. We examine the studio's response, calling the mechanic an unintended oversight, and look at the future of mini-games in the asymmetrical slasher adaptation.

Session 5 of 8 The Sanctuary Conference 2026@Cloverley Hall

Adrien Rabago has spent 25 years dressing people in Los Angeles, from actresses on red carpets to brides finding "the dress" to two very famous soccer players who needed twelve jerseys instead of two, two days before the shoot. She founded Adrien's Closet in 2009 to make elevated dressing accessible beyond celebrity circles, and in this conversation she pulls back the curtain on what styling actually looks like behind the glamour: the steaming, the pinning, the returns, the paperwork, and the constant last-minute fires that come with production work. Carolina and Adrien actually go way back, one of those funny things that happens once you've been in LA for 20 years and your paths keep crossing. Carolina was thrilled to head into Adrien's Closet for her Tribeca looks, and Adrien even surprised her with an outfit for this very recording! Experience the flowy fabulousness on YouTube! Clothing can shape identity, confidence, and how we are perceived. It can absolutely change how you walk into a room. There's real research behind this, including the concept of "enclothed cognition," coined by Northwestern researchers in 2012, which explains how what we wear doesn't just signal something to the world, it actually changes how we think, perform, and feel about ourselves. We also dig into the real difference between a stylist, a designer, and a costume designer, how wardrobe communicates trust or authority or struggle before an actor says a word, and why quiet luxury might really be a response to overwhelm. Adrien also opens up about dressing women through body changes, including postpartum, and what it means to help someone feel confident in a body they're still getting to know.  AOP SUBSTACK

The WNBA has a reputation for embracing LGBTQ+ players and fans… but that wasn't always the case. Today, the history behind the WNBA's “glass closet era.” But first, we hear a theory on why the Golden State Valkyries have had such a successful second season.

From time to time, we'll re-air a previous episode of the show that our newer audience may have missed. In this episode, founder Phoebe Tan shares how her background at Amazon and Singapore Airlines led her to build Taelor, a “Netflix for outfits” circular fashion platform focused on busy professional men. She explains Taelor's two-sided model, where subscribers rent curated outfits and partner brands monetize inventory and gain rich feedback to improve product design. The discussion dives into how circular systems transform traditional supply chains, the AI and data challenges of working with 100+ brands and non-standard sizing, and how reverse logistics and operations are built for scale from day one. Phoebe also highlights the power of unbiased customer feedback, why access-over-ownership and personalization will accelerate circular fashion over the next 5–10 years, and how sharing models can extend far beyond apparel into other categories of underutilized goods. Highlights from their conversation include: The Origin Story Behind Taelor and Phoebe's Background (0:29) How Taelor Works as “Netflix For Outfits” for Busy Men (3:21) Rethinking Inventory as Recurring Revenue in Circular Fashion (5:43) Using AI and Data to Solve Sizing and Styling Complexity (8:39) Building Scalable Reverse Logistics and Operations From Day One (11:15) Lessons From Amazon and Singapore Airlines Applied to Taelor (13:32) What Rental and Resale Data Reveal About Consumer Behavior (15:54) Why Access Over Ownership and Personalization Will Dominate (18:07) The Future of Circular Fashion and Taelor's Role in The Ecosystem (20:32) Resource Sharing Beyond Apparel and Rapid-Fire Founder Questions (23:29) Final Thoughts and Takeaways (25:02) Dynamo Ventures is a venture firm backing founders upgrading the physical economy.

Have you ever shared a creative project that you felt really good about, only to have someone else's casual criticism completely crush your joy and send you into a downward spiral?   In this week's Report from the Creative Closet, I'm sharing a heartbreaking online post that has been on my mind all week. It's from a grown man who tried music production, had fun, and loved his first creation—until a friend's feedback convinced him he was terrible, leading him to believe that artists are "cowards and liars" who rely on genetic destiny rather than hard work. We unpack this painful situation to look at how adult expectations act as a form of creative amputation, slicing us away from our own souls. I share why your creative practice requires you to protect your quiet "Jiminy Cricket" voice from the loudspeakers of external critics, why the Restorative Creativity Framework(TM) is designed to bring those dormant parts of you back to life, and why the Fifth Doctor's "Brave heart" rule is the ultimate key to giving yourself permission to create badly.   I'm Nancy Norbeck, and I'm your Messy Muse Mentor. I help people feel alive again through curiosity and play.   In this episode, we discuss: The Zombie Effect: Why society's rejection of adult play cuts us off from the external animal form of our souls. Jiminy Cricket vs. The Loudspeaker: How to keep external critiques from overriding your personal data and enjoyment. The Myth of Genetics: Why assuming creativity is a magical, effortless gift leads directly to despair, and how to embrace the slow process of learning. The Toddler's Rage to Master: Why toddlers fall flat on their faces, laugh, and try again, and why adults lose the patience to do the same. Mark Cuban's AI Mistake: Why iterating instantly with technology destroys the entire psychological benefit of the creative journey. Ready to send your inner critic to summer camp for an hour? We get together once a month for a relaxed, co-working-style session where you can work on whatever you want—without any pressure to do it "right." Join the Creativity Circle.   Episode breakdown:   0:00 Welcome to the Creative Closet 0:07 The heartbreak of suppressed creativity 2:30 Creative Amputation (Are we zombies?) 5:21 When critics kill your joy 10:58 The "genetic" creative myth 12:50 How to fall and laugh like a toddler 19:34 Why Mark Cuban is wrong about AI 21:42 Reconnecting with your aliveness   Please note: The original Reddit post isn't linked because I don't want to direct traffic toward the person who wrote it or encourage anyone to contact or harass them.

There is a written recipe for Henry VIII's perfume. It's in a 1608 book called A Closet for Ladies and Gentlewomen, and it's rosewater, sugar, musk, ambergris, and civet, boiled down softly for an entire day. I had no idea that existed until I sat down with Jen Siems of Immortal Perfumes, who has spent 14 years building fragrances out of archival research. Jen is a self-taught perfumer and a former English teacher, which means she talks about rare book rooms the way most people talk about their favorite TV show. She also has Elizabeth's recipe, which includes marjoram for headaches and a truly unreasonable amount of sugar. If you know anything about Elizabeth's teeth, that tracks. We get into: Where ambergris actually comes from, and why a kid walking on an English beach can stumble onto $50,000 worth of it Whether the Tudors really stank, and how much of that reputation we've made up Miasma theory, and why smelling magnificent was a health strategy and a PR strategy at the same time Catherine de' Medici, perfumed gloves, and how French perfume as we know it started with a Florentine bride Mary Queen of Scots' golden pomanders, and the violets-and-sparkling-wine legend that got misattributed to Anne Boleyn for years What Jude Law wore on the set of Firebrand to play a dying Henry, and why Alicia Vikander couldn't stand to be near him Fair warning, Jen explains how civet gets harvested and it involves a comparison to taking your dog to the vet. I was not ready. GIVEAWAY: Jen is giving away a vintage Avon Queen Elizabeth bottle (her torso lifts off, it's wonderful) filled with the Immortal Perfumes scent of the winner's choice.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Friday!! It's a GIRLS episode.. Harrison is in Chicago, so it's Alex & Jules answering YOUR questions. The theme: married with kids vs. single and child-free, and every question in between. But first, life: Tate learned to cockadoodle doo AND somersault this week (grandma brought a tumbling matt.. Harrison is going to come home to a full show). Then we get into the birthday crying phenomenon (high expectations + "don't plan anything!!" = a recipe lol.. moral of the story: say what you actually want, and a card is the MINIMUM), the Mommy & Me dance class dynamic where the mom vibes matter just as much as the toddler vibes (the water bottle incident.. iykyk), you know you're an adult when.. (Alex has a wrapping paper CLOSET), and your new favorite word: detritus. You will now see it in every book you read forever, you're welcome. Then the Q&A. You guys sent the most thoughtful questions about opposite seasons of life and we tried to answer from both sides: how to actually show up for friends in a different phase, whether Alex ever misses her pre-kid life, how Jules finds contentment single at 30, and whether it's EVER okay to ask someone if they want kids (short version: let them bring it up!) Plus the etiquette rapid-fire: exclusively breastfed babies at no-kids weddings, declining a good friend's party when you don't want to leave your baby, whether single friends actually want kids' birthday party invites (yes.. if that's where her people are, that's where she wants to be

We're off for our August hiatus, but we couldn't go quiet without re-sharing one of our favorite conversations from the past year. As we head into a new season — both literally and personally — this conversation about finding your style through life's shifts felt like the right one to revisit.What happens when your body, your life, or your routine changes, and suddenly nothing in your closet feels like you anymore? In this week's episode, Liv sits down with stylist and author Allison Bornstein to talk about finding your style again through life's shifts: pregnancy, postpartum, new jobs, breakups, or just new eras.They chat about making peace with your closet, letting go of the clothes that "ask too much" of you, and learning how to dress for the person you are right now vs the person your clothes could hold you to be. Allison shares her signature Three-Word Method, tips for rebuilding confidence when your body changes, and why the goal isn't a perfect wardrobe, but a kinder relationship with the one you already have.Special thanks to today's sponsor Aerie!
