MDJ Script/ Top Stories for January 14th Publish Date:  January 14th Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, January 14th and Happy Birthday to Dave Grohl I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal East Cobb protest calls to end ICE after deadly shooting Interstate lane closure advisory for the I-285/I-20 West Interchange project ‘Ready to work for it’: Miss Cobb County 2026 looks toward Miss Georgia competition All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: INGLES 5 STORY 1: East Cobb protest calls to end ICE after deadly shooting The intersection of Johnson Ferry and Roswell roads buzzed with energy Sunday afternoon as over 150 protesters gathered for the “ICE Out for Good” rally, part of a nationwide movement calling for the abolition of ICE. Chants of “No ICE, no fear, immigrants are welcome here” echoed across the streets, accompanied by honking horns and waves from passing cars. Protesters held handmade signs with messages like “Melt ICE,” “Justice for Renee,” and “Keep Orwell fiction.” The rally followed the recent fatal shooting of Renee Good, a Minneapolis woman, by an ICE agent during an immigration operation. Protesters, led by Indivisible Cobb, called out what they described as ICE’s unchecked violence. “This is about justice,” said Susan Lopez of Smyrna. “ICE is overstepping, and it’s time to hold them accountable.” Not everyone agreed. Terry Frost, a lone counter-protester, stood silently with a Trump campaign flag, voicing his support for ICE. “I can’t stand with people defending criminals,” he said. The protest remained peaceful, with no arrests reported. STORY 2: Interstate lane closure advisory for the I-285/I-20 West Interchange project  Heads up, drivers: weather permitting, GDOT contractors will be closing lanes around the I-285/I-20 West Interchange for a major reconstruction project. Expect delays, lane shifts, and some frustration—so plan ahead. The project? Widening ramps, adding collector-distributor lanes, and improving traffic flow. But first, the closures: I-285 Northbound: Cascade to Bolton, nightly Jan. 12-16. Single-lane closures start at 9 p.m., double-lane closures at 11 p.m. I-285 Southbound: Hollowell to MLK Jr. Drive, same deal. I-20 Westbound: Anderson to Riverside, 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. I-20 Eastbound: Riverside to I-285, alternating lane closures. Flagging operations and pacing will also hit nearby roads. Check 511ga.org for updates, and drive safe! STORY 3: ‘Ready to work for it’: Miss Cobb County 2026 looks toward Miss Georgia competition   For Dominique Verville, crowned Miss Cobb County 2026 last August, life’s best moments often sit just past fear. “Fear shows up when something matters,” the 23-year-old from Kennesaw told the Kiwanis Club of Marietta on Thursday. “It doesn’t mean you’re unprepared—it means you’re standing at the edge of growth.” A graduate of Auburn University with degrees in aviation management and finance, Verville is a classically trained dancer, a licensed pilot, and now an aviation insurance underwriter. But her heart? It’s in service. Through her nonprofit, Hearts for Heroes, she supports veterans transitioning to civilian life, delivering supplies and reading her children’s book, Dear Soldier, to students. “The crown isn’t about me,” she said. “It’s about serving others.” We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: INGLES 5 STORY 4: Mableton swears in new councilmembers, elects mayor pro tem The Mableton City Council kicked off the year with a packed agenda—and a little drama. New council members Cassandra Brown and Michael McNeely were sworn in, while Debora Herndon, reelected unopposed, will take her oath later this month. Then came the vote for mayor pro tem. After a 3-3 tie between Ron Davis and Keisha Jeffcoat, McNeely flipped his vote in a second round, giving Davis the role with a 4-2 majority. “Big shoes to fill,” Davis said, “but I’m ready to make this city the best it can be.” The council also approved Mableton’s participation in HUD’s Community Development Block Grant program, partnering with Cobb County to fund affordable housing, infrastructure upgrades, and economic development. STORY 5: Wood you believe it? New art exhibits open in Marietta   Two fresh exhibitions are taking over the Marietta-Cobb Museum of Art and they couldn’t be more different. Downstairs, “Georgia Wood Artists” showcases 50 stunning woodworks from 39 Georgia artists—everything from bowls to mandolins to abstract sculptures. Upstairs? Lawrenceville painter Maya Perez-Lugones makes her solo debut with a series of bold, surreal bathroom scenes. “It’s like night and day,” said museum director Sally Macaulay. “Every piece evokes something different. I love hearing what people feel.” Perez-Lugones’ work, inspired by light bouncing off bathroom surfaces, explores ego and compulsion. Meanwhile, the wood exhibit highlights craftsmanship, from whittling to woodturning. Tickets are $10; kids under 6 get in free. Break: STORY 6: Braves re-sign reliever Tyler Kinley    The Braves are keeping their bullpen busy this offseason, signing right-hander Tyler Kinley to a $3 million deal for 2026, with a $5.5 million club option for 2027 (or a $1.25 million buyout). Kinley, 34, was lights-out last season—5-0 with a ridiculous 0.72 ERA in just 25 innings after being traded from Colorado in July. Not bad, right? This move follows Atlanta’s other bullpen splashes: a $45 million deal for Robert Suarez and a $16 million re-signing of closer Raisel Iglesias. STORY 7: Health inspection follow-up brings big change for Hoboken Cafe  The Hoboken Café on Whitlock Avenue, a local favorite for Italian eats, bounced back this week after a rough health inspection in December. The follow-up? A shiny 97 out of 100—an “A” for food safety excellence. Back in December, though, things weren’t so great. The café scored a 69, just one point above a failing grade. Violations included raw meat stored above ready-to-eat foods, cooling and reheating issues, and sanitizer buckets with way too much solution. The last inspection found just one issue—improper cooling for stuffed peppers, which was fixed on the spot. Management says everything’s been addressed. We’ll have closing comments after this.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has finalized the 2026 Outpatient Perspective Payment System (OPPS) rule, with most policies taking effect on January 1, 2026. Jenna Stern, Vice President of Regulatory Affairs and Public Policy at Vizient, joins host Carolyn Liptak, Pharmacy Executive Director in Vizient's Center for Pharmacy Practice Excellence, to discuss key updates to payment policies, payment rates, and quality provisions affecting Medicare beneficiaries receiving care in hospital outpatient departments and ambulatory surgical centers.   Guest speaker:    Jenna Stern Vice President of Regulatory Affairs and Public Policy Vizient Host:   Carolyn Liptak, MBA, RPh  Pharmacy Executive Director Vizient  Verified Rx Host   Show Notes: 00:05 — Introduction Announcer welcomes listeners to VerifiedRx. Host Carolyn Liptak, Pharmacy Executive Director at Vizient, introduces the episode focus: the 2026 CMS Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) Final Rule. Guest: Jenna Stern, VP of Regulatory Affairs and Public Policy at Vizient.   01:12 — Overview of the OPPS Final Rule OPPS sets Medicare payment for most hospital outpatient services. Published annually (typically November), effective January 1. Covers payment rates, policies, quality programs, and compliance requirements. Note: CMS delayed enforcement of hospital price transparency requirements until April 1, 2026.   01:34 — Key Takeaways From the 2026 Final Rule Jenna's high-level insights: Hospitals will continue facing financial pressure in 2026. Modest payment rate increase combined with reimbursement-reducing policies. Expansion of site-neutral payment policies will be particularly impactful. Rule reflects emerging administration priorities shaping future policy.   02:21 — OPPS Payment Rate Update for 2026 CMS finalized a 2.6% OPPS schedule increase factor for hospitals meeting quality reporting requirements.   02:40 — What the 2.6% Increase means Based on: 3% market basket update –0.7% productivity adjustment Results in a modest net increase. Slightly better than the proposed 2.4% increase, though still viewed as inadequate. CMS estimates $8 billion increase in total OPPS payments compared to 2025.   03:37 — 340B Remedy Offset: Background From 2018–2022, CMS paid for 340B drugs at ASP –22.5%. Prior Supreme Court decision from 2022 found that CMS lacked authority to vary rates as finalized in prior rulemaking (e.g., without using drug acquisition cost surveys to inform policy).   04:13 — 340B Remedy Offset in the 2026 Final Rule CMS considered increasing the remedy offset from 0.5% to 2%. Stakeholders strongly opposed the increase due to hospital financial strain.   05:10 — Final Outcome CMS retained the 0.5% offset for 2026. CMS signaled that larger offsets may be proposed for 2027. This marks the first year the remedy offset takes effect,   06:00 — Site-Neutral Payment Policy: What It Is Concept: same service = same payment, regardless of site of care. Hospital concern: policy reduces hospital reimbursement without accounting for site of care differences, patient acuity, overhead, or service complexity.   06:15 — Site-Neutral Expansion in the 2026 Rule CMS expanded site-neutral payment to include drug administration services at excepted off-campus provider-based departments.   07:08 — Financial Impact Reimbursement aligns with Physician Fee Schedule rates. CMS estimates $290 million reduction in outpatient spending for 2026. $220 million of savings accrue directly to Medicare. Not implemented in a budget-neutral manner.   08:14 — Non-Opioid Pain Management Payments Temporary additional payments began January 1, 2025. Authorized under the NO PAIN Act (Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023).   08:28 — What's New for 2026 CMS finalized the renewal of: 5 drugs 13 medical devices eligible for separate payment in HOPD and ASC settings. Per statue, payments available through December 31, 2027.   09:32 — Process Improvements CMS will allow more frequent consideration of new qualifying products (not limited to annual updates). Quality criteria unchanged; timing flexibility added. CMS released guidance on how stakeholders can engage for inclusion.   10:58 — OPPS Drug Acquisition Cost Survey CMS finalized plans to survey hospitals on acquisition costs for separately payable OPPS drugs.   11:21 — Why CMS Is Advancing the Survey Addresses Supreme Court requirements from prior 340B litigation. Aligns with White House Executive Order on lowering drug prices. Positions CMS to use survey data for 2027 rulemaking.   12:47 — OPPS Packaging Thresholds for 2026 Drugs and biologics: Threshold remains at $140. Diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals: Increased to $655 (from $630). Products below thresholds retain Status Indicator “N” (packaged payment).   13:26 — Why Billing Packaged Drugs Still Matters Even though not separately payable, hospitals must bill for packaged drugs. Billing data feeds cost reports used to calculate future bundled payments. Failure to bill can result in inaccurately low reimbursement.   14:14 — Elimination of the Inpatient-Only (IPO) List CMS finalized a three-year transition to eliminate the IPO list by January 1, 2029.   14:32 — Why This Change Is Significant IPO list historically ensured certain services were provided inpatient only. CMS emphasizes provider judgment in determining site of care. Raises concerns about: Patient safety Payer coverage changes Pressure to move services outpatient   16:28 — ASC Covered Procedure List Expansion CMS expanded the ASC Covered Procedure List. Enables more Medicare covered services to be performed in the ASC settings.   16:48 — Price Transparency: Still a Priority No major overhaul, but continued refinement. CMS exploring new uses of price transparency data beyond patient comparison.   17:46 — Most Critical Policies to Watch Jenna highlights: Modest OPPS payment increase Site-neutral payment expansion 340B remedy offset Drug acquisition cost survey Broader regulatory activity beyond OPPS   18:43 — Available Vizient Resources OPPS Final Rule Summary Government Relations & Public Policy Summaries  Advocacy   19:20 — Closing Carolyn thanks Jenna for her insights.

In this deeply emotional and powerful episode of Radio Medium with Laura Lee, Laura connects with Rachel to deliver urgent and healing spirit messages from a loved one whose passing was sudden, traumatic, and unresolved. Rachel's reading reveals her sister's strong spirit presence who comes forward with love, remorse, and clarity surrounding a tragic loss involving violence and unfinished family conflict. Spirit brings validation through specific details, including unresolved goodbyes, sibling dynamics, justice concerns, and messages for children left behind. This episode explores themes of forgiveness without forgetting, breaking cycles of anger, and finding peace after loss. Spirit also offers guidance on reconnecting with surviving family members, honoring loved ones through meaningful remembrance, and trusting intuitive nudges around signs. If you or someone you love is navigating grief, unresolved trauma, or searching for closure after sudden loss, this episode offers compassion, truth, and hope — reminding us that love continues beyond the physical world and healing is always possible.

We've been taught that pain requires a target. Someone hurt you, so you hurt them back. Someone triggers you, so you defend yourself. The cycle repeats until you're chronically inflamed and physiologically worn down.But what if the problem is that you're treating your nervous system like it has to fight every battle you're invited to?Pain is information. Inflammation is a signal. That tightness in your chest when you get a certain kind of text message is your body reporting that something needs attention. Not retaliation. Attention.The culture trains you to look outward for resolution. Closure from the person who hurt you. Validation from the person who triggered you. Apologies, explanations, admissions of guilt. But none of that actually heals the physiological response you're having in real time. None of it stops the cortisol. None of it regulates your nervous system.Self regulation means recognizing that lashing out when you're in pain just adds another layer of damage. Knowing this, healing yourself first becomes structurally necessary.This episode covers why modern serial dating creates repeated chemical bereavement, how to redirect attack energy into healing energy, and why the “little you” inside deserves protection even when no one else is listening.Full episode: So You're Living in a Simulation podcast.

In our new series, Elevation, Alan opens with a call to recognize what God is doing in hidden places — and how divine delays are often the very thing preparing us for divine elevation. Drawing from the story of Hannah in 1 Samuel, this message reframes seasons of limitation, frustration, and unanswered prayer not as rejection, but as divine closure — moments when God lovingly shuts something in so that He can release something greater in due time. What looks like delay is often God building capacity, protecting calling, and storing up force for the moment He says, "Now." Alan reveals how the opposition Hannah faced was not random, but a sign that her destiny was being contested. Through her consecration rather than collapse, God released a shift that not only changed her story — but altered the course of a nation. Her song became the prophetic soundtrack of promotion: "He lifts the needy from the ashes and seats them with princes."   This message invites anyone who has felt confined, misunderstood, or delayed to see their season through heaven's eyes. When God "remembers," it marks the end of confinement and the beginning of assignment — a divine decree of acceleration, favor, and repositioning. Whether you are coming out of a season of pressure, waiting, or warfare, this is a reminder that the hand that protected you in adversity is the same hand that promotes you with authority. Your seat is changing. Your season is shifting. And God is doing it in due time.

Ray Library was pure chaos—the good kind. Ten little ones, from wobbly toddlers to wide-eyed infants, gathered on a colorful mat in the children’s section, ready for story time. Their parents? Mostly trying to keep up. Jess Fulcher, the library’s assistant senior librarian of youth services, led the charge. There were songs (“Wheels on the Bus,” of course), dancing, and two books about big feelings: Mad, Mad Bear and Leo Wakes Up Grumpy. The kids shook maracas, froze mid-dance, and popped bubbles from a machine that sent hundreds floating through the air. “It’s amazing,” Fulcher said, smiling. “I’ve been seeing some of these kids for over a year now. Watching them grow, connect, and learn—it’s the best part of my job.” The library, located at 4500 Oakdale Road, hosts family story time every other Saturday. For details, visit cobbcounty.gov/location/lewis-ray-library. STORY 3: Kennesaw Catholic school sees financial awards, growth in third year of operation  The 2025-26 school year has been a big one for Kennesaw’s Chesterton Academy of Atlanta. Just three years in, this small Catholic high school is growing steadily—and racking up some impressive wins along the way. Founded in 2023, the school is part of the global Chesterton Schools Network, which aims to provide affordable, classical Catholic education. Tuition? $9,185 per year. This year, the network snagged the prestigious $1 million Yass Prize for education innovation, while the Kennesaw campus received a $3,000 grant from the Catholic Foundation of North Georgia to upgrade its art room and cafeteria. From just 10 students in its first year to over 30 now, Chesterton Academy is carving out a special place in Georgia’s Catholic education landscape. For more, visit chestertonatl.org.

Break: INGLES 3 STORY 4: Cobb lawmakers react to U.S. strike on Venezuela Cobb County lawmakers are weighing in on the U.S. military’s strike in Venezuela, which ended with the capture of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. The operation, ordered by President Trump, has sparked a firestorm of reactions—both praise and sharp criticism. U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Cassville, called the move “decisive and courageous,” hailing it as the end of a “tyrannical regime” and a chance for a brighter future for Venezuela. But not everyone’s cheering. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Rome, slammed the strike, questioning its consistency with Trump’s stance on Ukraine and accusing the administration of prioritizing foreign conflicts over domestic issues. “Why is it okay when we do it?” she asked on X. Rep. Lucy McBath, D-Marietta, echoed concerns, demanding clarity on the strike’s legality and its potential to destabilize Venezuela further. Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Georgia, went even further, calling it a “broken promise” from a president more focused on foreign oil than Americans’ struggles. Locally, the Cobb Democratic Party condemned the strike as “unlawful,” while Cobb GOP President Mary Clarice Hathaway defended Trump’s decision, saying, “Sometimes hard decisions are necessary.” STORY 5: Cobb Police arrest suspect in New Year’s Day homicide   A New Year’s Day stabbing at the Millwood Apartment Complex in Marietta left one man dead and another behind bars. Cobb County Police say they responded to a call around 8:30 a.m. on Jan. 1 at 300 Pat Mell Road, near Austell Road. When officers arrived, they found 47-year-old Jerry Sampson Jr. with a stab wound. He was rushed to the hospital but didn’t make it. The suspect, 50-year-old Zuberi A. Douglas, was arrested the next day at the same apartment complex where the incident happened. He’s now facing charges, including felony murder. The investigation is ongoing. Got info? Call 770-499-3945. Break: STORY 6: Mac’s Chophouse scores 64 on health inspection, owners say violations are being corrected     Mac’s Chophouse, a Marietta Square favorite, hit a rough patch, scoring a 64 on its health inspection—an unsatisfactory “U” grade. Ouch. Co-owners Randy McCray and Chef Mike Fuller didn’t shy away from the news. “This score doesn’t reflect who we are,” they said, calling most violations “administrative” rather than food safety issues. The inspection cited nine problems, from improper handwashing to black buildup in ice machines. A half-eaten burger on a prep table? Not a great look. McCray admitted, “We fell behind during a busy season.” They’ve since cleaned house—literally—and are prepping for a re-inspection by Jan. 9. STORY 7: Wheeler falls in title game of Hoophall West  Darius Wabbington was unstoppable. He dropped 23 points, grabbed nine boards, and led Sunnyslope to a nail-biting 61-59 win over Wheeler in the Hoophall West Nike Tournament of Champions final on Saturday. Wheeler (11-3), ranked No. 5 by MaxPreps, had a solid run—beating Salesian (CA) and No. 6 Millennium (AZ)—but three games in three days and 1,800 miles of travel caught up with them. Still, they fought. Down 47-45 heading into the fourth, they clawed back to lead 53-51. But Sunnyslope? Ice cold at the line. They hit all 15 free throws, including six clutch ones from Colorado signee Rider Portela, who finished with 14 points. The game was chaos—nine ties, 16 lead changes, and no lead bigger than five. Wheeler’s Amare James (16 points) and Colben Landrew (20 points, six assists) kept it close, but Wabbington’s second-half threes and Sunnyslope’s composure sealed it. Tough loss, but what a game. We’ll have closing comments after this. Break: INGLES 3 Signoff-   Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.

Against the Grain wound down its operations at Louisville Slugger Field in late December.This week on the Access Louisville podcast, we chat with Sam Cruz, one of the founders of the brewery, about the closure and what's next for the Louisville beer brand.The company had been at Louisville Slugger Field for 14 years. It announced the closure in a Facebook post recently, saying its lease at the ballpark is expiring and it has opted not to renew. The restaurant's last day was Tuesday, Dec. 23.Losing the space is like letting go of a "living memory," Cruz tells us on the show. But he's not sad about it."Its hard to be sad about evolution," he said. "Life changes. Our company and us as people we've grown and evolved and the restaurant has kinda run its course. It's time to look beyond that. I felt really comfortable ... being able to land the plane as oppose to holding on and potentially crashing at some point." In recent years, Cruz and business partner Jerry Gnagy bought out two previous partners in Against the Grain, and those two partners had been handling the restaurant side of the business, Cruz said. The brewery has had a production facility in Portland for about a decade now. With the previous partners out and the alcohol industry as a whole in decline, Against the Grain has been working on a pivot toward production. In particular, they've been working on diversifying their abilities as a production company for different beverages. "We could do soda or we could do a packaged water. We're going to get into coffees and products like that. So the future for us is over the next year at the very least is building on that portfolio of contract clients that we have," he tells us.You can hear the full interview during the episode.  Against the Grain closed its Highlands Public House in August 2024, citing a challenging lease renewal and shifting neighborhood economics. In 2022, it shuttered the Sandwich Emporium Downtown and parted with The Whirling Tiger music venue in Butchertown, later sold to new operators. Earlier this year we reported the company launched a new line of THC beverages called ZAZA. The brand is available in Kentucky and Southern Indiana, and regionally in the Chicago-area.Against the Grain is the second-largest brewer of beer in Metro Louisville with 5,000 barrels produced locally last year. Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First.

Is anger, regret or sadness still tying you to your past? In this episode, you'll learn how finding forgiveness helps you heal unhealthy emotions, create closure, and move on. You'll learn about the two types of forgiveness and how to shift your mindset so you can finally feel happier, freer, and more like yourself again. If happiness and well-being feel out of reach right now, I hope you dive into this one. Forgiveness often sounds simple, but it can feel deeply challenging when anger, regret, or unresolved pain linger. I'm revisiting this episode because these unhealthy feelings tend to hold on quietly, shaping how we feel long after the moment has passed. In this conversation, I talk about what forgiveness really is and what it is not, and how finding forgiveness can support healing and closure without excusing harm or abandoning your boundaries. We explore the difference between forgiving yourself and forgiving someone else, especially when there has been no apology, no repair, or no justice. You'll hear how to work with difficult emotions like sadness and resentment, how to move on when the other person may never change, and how forgiveness can support your growth, well-being, and peace of mind. If part of you feels like you should be over it by now, but something still feels unfinished, this episode offers a more compassionate way forward. Forgiveness is not about forgetting or minimizing what happened. It's about releasing what no longer serves you so you can heal and feel happier in your life today. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Finding Forgiveness and Emotional Healing 03:25 The Two Types of Forgiveness: Yourself and Others 05:52 How Anger, Regret, and Guilt Impact Happiness 07:56 Self-Forgiveness Through Compassion and Growth 15:00 Making Amends and Repairing Harm 21:59 How to Forgive Someone Who Isn't Sorry 24:19 Letting Go Without Excusing Harm 28:56 Forgiveness, Boundaries, and Emotional Safety 31:19 Choosing Forgiveness to Move On and Feel at Peace If this conversation about finding forgiveness stirred something tender for you, I want you to know you don't have to work through it alone. I'd love for you to schedule a free consultation with me or someone on my team at Growing Self. It's a private, secure space to share what you've been carrying and get matched with the right counselor or coach for where you are right now. You'll answer three quick questions, and we'll help you take a thoughtful next step toward healing and clarity. xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie BobbyGrowing Self

As this year comes to a close, there's pressure to reflect, resolve, and reset.  But not everything we live through gets neatly wrapped up.  In this episode, I talk about what it means to move forward without closure, why waiting for it can keep us stuck, and how grief, loss, and complicated family dynamics shape what we carry and what we lay down. This isn't an episode about resolutions. It's about honesty.  About integration.  About letting a year end without forcing meaning too soon.

In 1983, Susan Tice, a 45-year-old mother of four was found raped and stabbed to death in her Toronto home. Four months later, across town, 22-year-old Erin Gilmour returns home from work and is attacked the same way. The women didn't know each other, and both cases remained unsolved for decades. In 2000, DNA profiles from each crime proved their attacker was the same man – but didn't reveal his identity. It would take another 20 years, but thanks to genetic genealogy research, the killer was arrested, charged and convicted, bringing a measure of closure for the victims' families.

The 2017 slaughterhouse escape of six steers turned "The St. Louis Six" into animal rescue celebrities and inspired an expansion of the California-based nonprofit Gentle Barn to Missouri. But the sanctuary's abrupt closure in October 2024 left its former volunteers and staff feeling abandoned. In this encore edition of a St. Louis on the Air episode that first aired March 6, producer Danny Wicentowski goes inside the final days of the sanctuary's existence and the aftermath of its closure. The investigation confirms the deaths of five former residents of Missouri's Gentle Barn. We also hear from Gentle Barn co-founder Ellie Laks, who defends the decision to close and addresses the animal deaths at the nonprofit's Tennessee sanctuary.

➰With the end of the year upon us, this meditation is a perfect practice to offer ourselves closure, acceptance, and conscious release, and simultaneously, renewal. It allows us to honor what has been, make peace with what remains unresolved, and create space for what is ready to come next. This is an active meditation, inviting you to gently reflect and meet whatever arises with honesty and acceptance.  This meditation is a timeless practice that can be used at the close of any chapter - a season, a relationship, a phase of life, etc.  At the end of the meditation, you'll be offered an additional five minutes of uninterrupted space to rest, reflect, or continue integrating, if you choose. With love, Jo

As the year winds down, Cinthia Varkevisser and Michelle Walters dive into a conversation most people avoid: closure.In this episode of Mind Power Meets Mystic, we explore why how you end something directly affects what you step into next—whether that's a job, a relationship, a year, or an identity. Closure isn't about making things “nice.” It's about being clean and clear on your side, even if the other person isn't happy about it.Michelle shares deeply personal stories about grief, loss, and unfinished endings—from the death of her husband, to navigating loss during the pandemic, to learning how incomplete closure can prolong pain. Cinthia brings her signature strategic intuition, breaking down why messiness follows you when you don't consciously close the door—and how clarity creates momentum.The conversation weaves through relationships, dating, family dynamics, estrangement, grief, forgiveness, and the courage it takes to end things honestly. You'll hear real-life examples of what clean closure looks like in action—and why you don't have to wait for December 31st to reset your life.If you're feeling the nudge to wrap something up, release an old chapter, or make space for what's next, this episode is your permission slip.Because clean endings create powerful beginnings.
