When we think about quitting drinking one of the first things we think about is the loss of fun, socializing, and drinking on vacation. Drinking to enhance is all about using alcohol to feel more or to make the good vibes last longer. In this episode, I'll explain why we use alcohol as an enhancer, how the brain adapts, and why this makes regular life feel dull when we try to stay sober. You'll learn some mindset shifts and things to consider about if alcohol was really as rewarding as you think.

Have you ever been told to test your thyroid levels a few hours after taking your medication? What if I told you that one small timing mistake could completely throw off your results—and lead to the wrong treatment plan? In this episode, I'm breaking down one of the most common (and costly) thyroid testing mistakes: drawing your labs at the wrong time. I explain why testing “at the peak” doesn't make sense scientifically, how it can create false high readings, and what actually happens in your body when you take T3 or NDT medication. You'll hear real examples from my own experiments and patients so you can finally understand what those lab numbers really mean—and when you should be testing for an accurate picture of your thyroid health. If you've been told your labs look “fine” but you still feel tired, foggy, or stuck with symptoms, this episode will make it all click. I'll teach you the timing strategy that can completely change how your medication is adjusted and how you feel every day. Don't miss it!

When two faith-based credit unions unite, it's not just about growing bigger—it's about multiplying Kingdom impact. We're talking about something that's a lot more than just a merger— it's about expanding services and supporting ministries worldwide. Aaron Caid joins us today to talk about the exciting merger of Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU) and AdelFi Credit Union.Aaron Caid is the Chief Marketing Officer at Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU), an underwriter of Faith & Finance. A New Season for Christian Community Credit UnionWhen it comes to money, the conversation always goes deeper than numbers. For Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU), finances are a matter of faith, stewardship, and Kingdom impact. That's why the announcement of a merger between CCCU and AdelFi marks such a significant and exciting new chapter.This merger wasn't a quick decision. It was the culmination of nearly two years of prayer, discernment, and thoughtful consideration by both boards. Both organizations share a Christ-centered mission, with AdelFi carrying a 60-year history of faith-aligned banking and a strong commitment to supporting Christian ministries. The merger is designed to create a stronger credit union, expand reach, and multiply Kingdom impact.What Members Can ExpectFor CCCU and AdelFi members, the transition will be seamless. Accounts and services will remain uninterrupted. At the same time, members can look forward to enhanced digital tools, stronger security, expanded member support, and greater lending capacity. That means more opportunities to serve individuals, churches, ministries, and faith-based businesses with tailored financial solutions.The heart of this merger is ministry. By combining resources, CCCU will be able to give more generously to global partners such as Samaritan's Purse, the Tim Tebow Foundation, and Mission Aviation Fellowship. Together, the new institution will support churches, mission-sending agencies, and faith-based organizations with greater financial strength. At the end of the day, it's not just banking, it's stewarding resources for eternal impact.With the merger complete, CCCU will become the largest Christian banking institution in the United States—holding more than $1.5 billion in assets. Beyond size, the partnership brings specialized expertise. AdelFi's strength in serving Christian-owned businesses complements CCCU's established ministry partnerships, while AdelFi's connection to over 4,000 missionaries deepens the reach to those serving around the world.The Path AheadThe merger is officially effective December 1, and members don't need to take any action. Services will continue seamlessly, with every account insured up to $250,000. CCCU is committed to keeping members updated through email and the merger hubs on their websites.This partnership represents more than financial growth—it's about multiplying impact for the Kingdom. Together, CCCU and AdelFi are equipping God's people and ministries with financial tools that advance the Gospel and care for others in Jesus' name.To learn more about this new chapter in Christian banking, visit FaithFi.com/Banking.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have approximately $630,000 in savings and would like guidance on how to invest it, pay off around $20,000 in debt, and purchase a home within the next year.

A popular outdoor brand somehow thought it was a good idea to set off an elaborate, polluting firework display and we are not impressed. We learn why doofuses are strapping iPads to tortoise backs. Sarah explains what "distance self-talk" is and why it can be helpful or hurtful depending on how you use it. We talk about a "very haunted" hotel that has very strict rules about pranks, and since Susie hates pranks, she's on board. We debate the "correct" way to cut food and we learn why Susie is stressed about doing it wrong. Susie explains her rubric for what makes a one-hit-wonder, and hear why a lot of people are very sensitive when they learn an artist they happen to like only had one hit (we're looking at you Oasis fans). Plus, there's a college football program that is known for taking ridiculous player photos, and their new coach put a stop to it. Susie and Sarah disagree about whether the coach did the right thing...Brain Candy Podcast Presents: Susie & Sarah's SpOoOoOoOoktacular Spectacle, October 30, Oriental Theater, Denver, Colorado: Get your tickets!

In this powerful episode of the HVAC School podcast, Bryan sits down with Nate Agentis, third-generation plumber and author of Get Shit Done: How to Build a Strong Team, A Profitable Business, and a Lasting Legacy. Their conversation explores the intersection of personal health, business success, and meaningful leadership in the trades industry. Nate's journey from technician to business owner wasn't easy. After his grandfather built the family plumbing business from nothing, only to lose it to the IRS, and his father rebuilt it from scratch, Nate found himself thrust into leadership at age 33 when his mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The tragedy of losing his mother while simultaneously taking over the business created a perfect storm that eventually led to burnout and a period of deep reflection during COVID-19. This experience became the foundation for his leadership philosophy and his book. The conversation delves into the generational divide in the trades, where older workers view younger employees as lazy while younger workers see their elders as slaves to their jobs. Nate argues that healthy leadership requires bridging this gap through understanding and practical solutions. His approach centers on five pillars: healthy owner, sticky culture, skilled technicians, efficient operations, and clear metrics. However, he emphasizes that without the foundation of personal health and self-awareness, the other pillars crumble. Perhaps most compelling is Nate's emphasis on humility and accountability as twin keys to success. He challenges the "self-made man" mentality prevalent in trades culture, arguing that true leadership requires vulnerability, community, and the willingness to seek help. This philosophy extends beyond business into his nonprofit work with Hope for the Trades, which provides educational resources, retreat opportunities, and humanitarian mission trips for tradespeople seeking both professional development and personal renewal. Key Topics Covered Generational Business Transitions - Navigating the challenges of taking over a family business during crisis and the unique pressures of third-generation ownership The Burnout Epidemic in Trades - Understanding why skilled tradespeople burn out and how to create sustainable career paths that don't sacrifice family and personal health Bridging Generational Divides - Addressing the tension between older workers who prioritize work ethic and younger workers who emphasize work-life balance The Five Pillars Framework - Healthy owner, sticky culture, skilled technicians, efficient operations, and clear metrics as the foundation for sustainable business growth Humility and Accountability in Leadership - Why admitting weakness and seeking help are actually signs of strength and keys to long-term success The Balance Wheel Concept - A practical tool for evaluating different areas of life (marriage, parenting, health, spirituality, etc.) and identifying areas needing attention Community and Isolation in Trades - Addressing the epidemic of loneliness among tradespeople and the importance of genuine relationships for personal and professional growth Metrics Without Depression - How to implement business measurement systems as tools for clarity rather than sources of shame or discouragement Hope for the Trades Nonprofit - Educational resources, retreat programs, and humanitarian missions designed to support the whole person, not just the business owner Legacy vs. Profit Mentality - Shifting focus from purely financial success to creating lasting positive impact on employees, families, and communities Practical Life Planning - Applying strategic planning principles to personal life, marriage, and parenting with the same intentionality used in business planning   Sign up for Hope for the Trades at https://hopeforthetrades.com/ and get a free copy of Nate's book.

In this episode of The Dept. Omar sits down with Lynn Washington for one of the most personal and heartfelt conversations on the show yet. Together they open up about grief, faith, and how to keep showing up in seasons of deep loss. Omar shares the story of losing his father unexpectedly on Easter Sunday and how that experience reshaped his view of peace, purpose, and presence. They talk about what grief has taught them both, how to support others through pain, and how God can use even the hardest moments to bring healing and hope. If you've ever walked through loss or loved someone who has, this episode will remind you that you're not alone and that God can meet you right where you are.

Emily Kircher-Morris talks with writer Amy Mackin, author of Henry's Classroom: A Special Education in American Motherhood, about her experiences navigating the special education system for her son, Henry. They discuss the challenges of accessing appropriate resources, the impact of social isolation, and how community support can make a huge difference. They talk about Amy's transition from public school to homeschooling, and the benefits of a more holistic approach to education that broadens the support group to include family and even medical professionals. TAKEAWAYS Early intervention is extremely important in special education. Community support is instrumental in educational advocacy. Social isolation is impactful for families with special needs children. A holistic approach to education can be transformative. Communication between medical and educational systems can be extremely beneficial. There can be a big financial toll on families navigating special education. Homeschooling can be an alternative educational path for some. Student voices should be included in the IEP process. Educational resources vary greatly based on the socioeconomic status of each school district.

What if everything you've been told about anxiety only scratches the surface? We're taught to quiet our thoughts, reframe our worries, and “think positive.” But what if the real root of anxiety isn't in your head at all, it's in your body? In this transformative episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Russell Kennedy - physician, neuroscientist, and best-selling author of Anxiety Rx, who has made it his life's mission to uncover what truly heals anxiety. Drawing from his own decades-long struggle with crippling worry, psychedelic journeys, and breakthroughs in somatic healing, Dr. Kennedy reveals how anxiety is actually an alarm state stored in the body, often rooted in unresolved childhood trauma. Together, we explore why coping strategies and pharmaceuticals often fall short, and how practices like “sensation without explanation,” breathwork, and inner child connection open the door to real healing. Dr. Kennedy also shares why suppressed anger can turn children into adults locked in victimhood, how worry tricks the brain into false certainty, and why reclaiming a spiritual connection with yourself may be the missing piece in resolving anxiety. This episode is practical, eye-opening, and deeply human. If you've ever wrestled with anxiety or love someone who has, Dr. Kennedy's wisdom will help you understand it in a whole new way, and guide you back to a place of calm, safety, and inner trust.

Ever find yourself shrinking back in groups, even ones where you should feel at home? Maybe you're posting less in online communities or keeping your wins quiet because you don't want to be "too much"? That's the witch wound at work, and it's time to talk about it.In this episode of Stay Magic, Sara explores how the witch wound wasn't created in isolation and it sure as hell can't be healed there either. This is about the difference between fitting in (exhausting) and truly belonging (transformative), and why so many spiritual women are accidentally deepening their witch wound by choosing invisibility over community.You'll discover:Why the witch wound was literally created in community and what that means for your healing journey todayThe Stanford study that revealed how professional women practice "intentional invisibility" to avoid conflict (and how this keeps you small)The crucial difference between belonging and fitting in, and why trying to fit in actually widens your witch woundHow being witnessed and celebrated (not validated) is essential medicine for reclaiming your power as a witchy womanThree signs you're self-excluding from community and what to do about it insteadThis is your permission slip to stop hiding the parts of you that feel too witchy, too powerful, or too much. Because here's the truth: your magic isn't meant to be whispered in the shadows. It's meant to be shared, witnessed, and celebrated in community.Ready to heal your witch wound with other women who get it?

Matthew 12:1-21, Mark 3, Luke 6

For the first time in our history, there will be more older adults than children. This huge societal change will affect how families provide eldercare, how older Americans access transportation, and whether people can age in their own homes among neighbors they know — and avoid nursing facilities, where about 30% of Covid-19 deaths occurred.

In this powerful and eye-opening episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Aanya sits down with Austin Davis, a visionary leader in teenage behavioral health and addiction recovery. With over 15 years of experience guiding teens and families through crisis and healing, Austin shares how true transformation begins not with control—but with unlearning, patience, and compassion. Together, they explore the hidden emotional labor of parents, the dangerous myths around teen binge drinking, and how shifting from “fixing” to “supporting” can change a child's future. Austin's insights reveal why healing is a process of redefining success—from numbers and milestones to human connection and emotional awareness. This is an honest, heart-centered dialogue on breaking cycles, building emotional resilience, and helping teens rediscover who they are beyond their pain.   About the Guest — Austin Davis  : Austin Davis is a behavioral health leader and addiction treatment specialist with over 15 years of experience transforming the lives of teens and families. As the founder and visionary behind a renowned adolescent recovery program, Austin focuses on creating new legacies—empowering young people to rebuild their self-worth, emotional awareness, and relationships. His work bridges science, psychology, and compassion to reimagine what successful recovery truly looks like.   Key Takeaways:   Healing is not about control—it's about patience, presence, and partnership. Parents must unlearn the instinct to “fix” their children and instead create safe, supportive spaces for healing. Success in recovery isn't just about numbers—it's about paradigm shifts in how teens see themselves and the world. Teen binge drinking is not just a phase; it's often a symptom of deeper anxiety, trauma, or identity struggles. Open, Socratic-style conversations help parents build trust and prevent crises before they escalate. Community identity matters—sports, music, and service groups provide healthy belonging that social media cannot replace. Every small act of listening and empathy can redirect a teen's life trajectory by even “one degree.”   Connect with Austin Davis   To learn more about Austin's work in teen behavioral health and addiction recovery, connect with him through his organization's website or LinkedIn profile.   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clearforkacademy/   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?   DM on PM – Send me a message on PodMatchDM Me Here:https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik   Disclaimer   This video is for educational and informational purposes only.

A few weeks ago, I did an exercise that completely changed how I see control—and honestly, it pissed me off before it set me free. I drew a circle and listed what I actually control inside it and what I don't outside it, and the truth was brutal: I've been spending most of my energy trying to manage things that were never mine to hold. Today I'm walking you through this exercise and the new soundtracks that are helping me release my grip on other people, outcomes, the past, and the future—so I can finally be present in the one moment I actually have. https://www.instagram.com/nicole_bachle/

FBI Director Kash Patel recently claimed on X that his agency has delivered on promises of "transparency," but the post was flagged with a Community Note adding context and pushback. The note reminded viewers that many documents tied to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein remain sealed or redacted, and questioned Patel's assertion that court orders were the main barrier to releasing full files. Critics say the claim glosses over this opacity.Patel's broader handling of the Epstein matter has drawn scrutiny from lawmakers, who pressed him on whether all relevant records have been reviewed or disclosed. In recent hearings, he declined to answer some questions — including how often former President Trump appears in the files — and defended the FBI's disclosures by saying they had released all "legally allowed" material.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

It's been a little over two weeks since President Donald Trump promoted a highly disputed link between Tylenol use during pregnancy and autism. And reaction remains strong. As St. Louis Public Radio's Jason Rosenbaum reports, the area's autistic community contends the GOP president is rolling back progress that helped people with the neurological disorder better integrate into society.

In this episode of the Man on Fire podcast, David Mehler challenges high-achieving men to confront the pain they've been avoiding. He argues that what we're really running from isn't failure or success—it's suffering itself.The conversation reveals how pain management strategies like porn, food, alcohol and overwork keep us stuck and how turning toward discomfort can unlock freedom, purpose and even joy.David draws on a lesson from India, childhood wisdom and decades of working with men to illustrate why avoiding emotions prolongs them and why our deepest wounds often hide our greatest gifts.

Who was John Dee—the Tudor polymath who advised Elizabeth I, mapped the heavens, spoke (he believed) with angels, and penned a landmark preface to Euclid? Historian and writer Rachel Morris joins to unpack Dee's strange, brilliant world at the fault line between Renaissance “natural magic” and the birth of modern science. We explore why astrology was respectable, what “as above, so below” meant to learned magi, how printing turned libraries into engines of ideas, the hazards of practicing magic in an age of heresy trials, and why Dee still feels uncannily modern. We also touch on his years in Prague, his uneasy return to England, and the beautiful—if perilous—idea that the cosmos is alive with meaning.Rachel's new book The Years of the Wizard: The Strange History and Home Life of Renaissance Magicians (Duckworth) is out now.

We trace Grace Darling's 1838 sea rescue and the birth of tabloid celebrity; Josephine Butler's fearless campaign against the Contagious Diseases Acts and for raising the age of consent; and George Biddell Airy's half-century as Astronomer Royal, standardising Greenwich Mean Time for a world on the move.

I had such a powerful conversation on this week of Raising Serotonin with Sim in this episode, and I think you'll love it—even if you've never tried yoga before. Sim shares her journey of becoming a yoga teacher and opens up about how the practice has supported both her mental and physical well-being.We talk about why yoga isn't just about poses, but about connection—how breath and movement can reset your nervous system, calm stress, and help you feel more at home in your body. Sim also explains how our environments play a role in our health and why yoga is truly accessible to anyone, at any stage of life.This conversation really reminded me that yoga isn't about being flexible—it's about creating space for yourself, finding balance, and discovering a practice that can transform your quality of life.Check out Monarch Yoga here! FOLLOW RAISING SEROTONIN ON INSTAGRAM HERE Support the show

GDP Script/ Top Stories for October 9th Publish Date: October 9th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, October 9th and Happy birthday to John Lennon I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Lilburn Daze festival celebrates 53 years of community and creativity Gwinnett spending nearly $1 million for three new ambulances O’Dwyer Homes Breaks Ground on 'Build for CURE' home in Lawrenceville Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on budgeting All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Ingles Markets 10 STORY 1: Lilburn Daze festival celebrates 53 years of community and creativity Lilburn Daze—man, it’s come a long way. Picture this: back in the '70s, it was just a scrappy little thing in a shopping center parking lot. Now? It’s the fall festival in Gwinnett County. This Saturday, from 9 to 5, City Park on Main Street will be buzzing. Arts and crafts, food trucks, kids bouncing around (literally), live music, and even a health tent. Oh, and the Doggy Dazzle Paw-rade at 11 a.m.? Adorable chaos. Susan Allred, festival chair, says they’re expecting 5,000–10,000 folks. “It’s our biggest fundraiser,” she adds. Proceeds? They fuel community programs. So, grab a shuttle, bring your dog, and soak it all in. STORY 2: Gwinnett spending nearly $1 million for three new ambulances Gwinnett’s getting three shiny new ambulances—finally. On Tuesday, county commissioners approved a $932,383 deal with Life Line Emergency Vehicles, and if all goes to plan, they’ll arrive in December. One ambulance will roll in on a RAM 5500 chassis, while the other two will use Chevy 5500 chassis the county bought during the pandemic. (Remember those supply chain nightmares?) Turns out, they’ve just been sitting there, unused. Funded by the 2017 SPLOST, these ambulances are all-new, top to bottom. STORY 3: O’Dwyer Homes Breaks Ground on 'Build for CURE' home in Lawrenceville O’Dwyer Homes just broke ground on something truly special—a “Build for CURE” home, where every penny from the sale will go to CURE Childhood Cancer. The ceremony happened Sept. 17 at 1108 Duluth Highway in Lawrenceville, and honestly, it’s more than just a house. It’s hope. “This is personal,” says Kathy O’Dwyer. Years ago, she watched Sean Dever, her son’s best friend’s little brother, fight osteosarcoma. And Brandon, the builder? His son John battled leukemia at nine. Both families leaned on CURE during their darkest days. Now, John’s thriving, Sean’s thriving—and this home? It’s for the next family who needs a lifeline. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 4: Making waves: North Georgia students dive into water industry at leadership summit On a crisp September morning, over 160 high schoolers from across North Georgia showed up at The Water Tower in Buford, probably not expecting to leave thinking, Huh, maybe water’s my thing. But that’s exactly what happened. The Student Water Innovation and Leadership Summit (Sept. 26) wasn’t your typical career day. Students from schools like Mill Creek, Shiloh, and Discovery got hands-on—peering into microscopes, testing filtration systems, even diving into virtual reality. They learned water isn’t just faucets and pipes; it’s labs, engineering, crisis management, and, yes, running treatment plants. With a looming workforce gap (a third retiring soon!), programs like this are game-changers. STORY 5: Gwinnett installing sidewalks near Dyer Elementary Kids walking to Dyer Elementary in Dacula? It’s about to get a whole lot safer—and easier. Gwinnett County just approved a $1.3 million contract with Ohmshiv Construction to build new sidewalks near the school. The plan? Sidewalks will stretch along Hurricane Shoals Road (north side) from the school to Retreat Drive, and on Rabbit Hill Circle (west side) from Hurricane Shoals to Hood Road. The project, funded by the 2023 SPLOST, kicks off soon and should wrap up in 100 working days. Finally, some peace of mind for parents. We’ll be right back.
