“Why do I have to do all this work just to be given a chance?” In this deeply moving live coaching session, Lily talks with Caleigh—a brilliant late bloomer feeling burned out and heartbroken after years on dating apps.

In this episode, you'll hear: ✨ Why dating can feel like Groundhog Day, especially for late bloomers ✨ How grief and shame linger around never having had a serious relationship ✨ The truth about anger—and why feeling it might change everything in your love life ✨ How perfectionism sneaks into dating and keeps you stuck ✨ Concrete tools to raise your standards without giving up hope If you've ever wondered why dating feels like so much work, or worried that your big feelings make you “the problem,” this episode will make you feel seen—and give you practical ways to keep going without losing yourself.

In this pulverizing episode of The Metal Maniacs Podcast, your hosts Jay Ingersoll and Modd dive deep into the diseased heart of Michigan's underground with Decedent, one of the most exciting new names in the Sepsisgrind scene—a self-described style of cataclysmic death metal somewhere between Sanguisugabogg, Gatecreeper, and 200 Stab Wounds, all filtered through a thick Cannibal Corpse groove and old-school Chuck Schuldiner worship.

 Hello ShopTalkers, it's Dr. Dawn, Today's episode is going to be a little personal. I want to talk about a sneaky little emotion that can derail our success faster than we realize - I'm talking about guilt. Specifically, the kind of guilt that creeps in when things are actually going well. This may sound a little cray cray, but I know this one well—because I've been living it. Many of you know that I lost my mom not too long ago. My mom struggled with her weight for most of her life. And here's where my guilt started to creep in. Before Mom passed, I had been open about my own health journey. When I turned 40, my weight started fluctuating like crazy. After checking my hormones and finding nothing to blame, I turned to intermittent fasting—and it worked. I lost 31 pounds. Now, I'm only 5'1” on a good day, so that kind of loss was huge. I went from a size 12 Petite to a size 4 Petite, sometimes even a size 2. I felt like myself again—confident, strong, and proud. But when Mom passed, I couldn't help but feel this pang of guilt. Here I was, achieving something relatively easily that my mother struggled with for decades. I knew—in my head—that as my mom, she would want me to be healthy, to thrive, to avoid the battles she faced. But my heart didn't want to hear it. I coped by self-sabotaging and gaining back some of the weight.  But because of my training, I knew that I could celebrate a big win here because I didn't gain all the weight back and then some - I instead gained about half, which I again am going to celebrate because it shows me that I have successfully broken that pattern.Now, your guilt may not be the same as mine - maybe you feel guilty for making more money than your friends or loved ones. Maybe you feel guilty for getting a promotion when your friend got laid off, or guilty for taking a vacation when your team is swamped. Whatever form it takes, the good news is you can break free from it. Today, I'm sharing 3 concrete steps to stop letting guilt block your succes plus 1 bonus goal to really seal the deal!Step 1: Set Bodacious and Fabulous Goals Step 2: Create a Concrete, Bite-Sized PlanStep 3: Find an Accountability PartnerTune in to get all the details on these 3 steps PLUS your Bonus Goal!And here's your Call to Action: I would love for you to be part of my accountability team of support. So here's my challenge to you: If guilt has been holding you back, post below what you're going to work on so we can take this journey together. I'll be cheering for you, and I hope you'll cheer for me, too. NEW HERE?

SHOW NOTES: Welcome back, Money Pit listeners! This hour, we cover everything from porches and patios to landscaping, hardscaping, fences, and fire pits. And of course, we're taking your calls and tackling your home improvement dilemmas. Here's a look at some of the questions we'll be answering and the solutions we'll provide: - Getting Your Home Fall Ready: As fall approaches, it's the perfect time to give your home a thorough energy checkup. We'll share quick tips to seal drafts around windows and doors, properly service your HVAC system, and optimize your ceiling fans to help you save on energy bills year-round. - Protecting Your Concrete Surfaces: Before winter unleashes its worst, we'll guide you on how to safeguard your concrete driveways, sidewalks, and patios. Learn how Quikrete Cure and Seal Satin Finish can protect both new and existing concrete from cracks, salt damage, stains, and freeze-thaw deterioration. - Creating Productive Home Office & Study Spaces: With back-to-school season in full swing, we'll offer simple ways to design functional and comfortable home offices or study areas. Discover how to choose the right spot, ensure proper lighting, and implement effective organization strategies to boost productivity and maintain sanity.   Q & A: - Janette from Colorado wants to know if she can DIY her radiant floor heating. We'll discuss why electric radiant heat is generally expensive to run and why hiring a professional is recommended. - Steve from North Carolina is dealing with a leaking flat roof on his bathroom addition. Flat roofs aren't our favorite for residences, and we advise him to file an insurance claim for storm damage while exploring better roofing materials. - Mary from North Dakota has crumbling basement concrete after water problems and wants to know about sealants before painting. She should address external drainage issues first before using Quikrete's concrete patching compound to stabilize the surface. - Dan from Arizona has a home with cracked tile flooring and can't find replacement tiles. This is likely due to a missing uncoupling membrane during installation, and we suggest creative temporary fixes until a proper re-installation can be done. - Charlie is looking to switch from an oil-based to a solid latex stain on his cedar siding, which has darkened over time. We'll emphasize the importance of proper surface preparation and why it's often best to stain the entire house for a uniform look. - Michael from Florida is curious about the pros and cons of stick-built versus modular homes. We'll share insights into the cost savings and timely construction advantages of modular homes while advising him to consult with local specialists to compare options.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

Joe Borowski didn't plan to become a concrete contractor—but the market had other ideas. In this episode, Ryan Deemer sits down with the owner of Hawthorne Excavating to talk about how pouring a single hot tub pad turned into 90% of his workload. Joe shares what it's like managing growth, staying hands-on, and slowly building a real business—not just a job.He also gets real about what it takes to keep standards high without burning out, how he's setting up two crews for future expansion, and why communication matters more than fancy equipment.Takeaways:✅ Joe got his start as a union operator at 18—but bought his first excavator instead of a new truck.✅ Concrete wasn't the plan, but customer demand made it impossible to ignore. Now it drives most of his revenue.✅ He's learned more from redoing jobs the right way than from the ones that go perfectly.✅ Joe is shifting from operator to leader, learning how to train, trust, and let others figure it out.✅ He's realizing time—not money—is the most valuable asset in business, and he's starting to build processes to reclaim it.Why It Matters:If you're in excavation or hardscaping, learning to offer concrete—or partner with someone who does—can unlock bigger, better-paying jobs and more referrals.Links:

Suveraniștii au descins în localitatea suceveană Broșteni, afectată de inundații devastatoare, cu selfiuri și postări pe rețelele sociale. Dar cine îi ajută cu adevărat pe locuitorii afectați de fenomenele meteo extreme? Ei bine, tocmai instituțiile mult hulite de suveraniști: guvernul României și Uniunea Europeană. Ministrul Investițiilor și Proiectelor Europene, Dragoș Pîslaru, a anunțat sâmbătă, într-o postare pe Facebook, că va activa mecanismul european RESTORE, în urma inundațiilor din județele Suceava și Neamț Aceasta va permite alocarea rapidă a milioane de euro din fonduri europene către zonele afectate. Anunțul vine după ce Guvernul de la București a alocat imediat sume de până la 30.000 de lei per familie și a dislocat efective substanțiale pentru intervenție și sprijin. În zonă au ajuns imediat  medici și pompieri, ambulanțe și elicoptere. Dar ce este mecanismul RESTORE? RESTORE permite statelor membre afectate de dezastre climatice să beneficieze de o rată de cofinanțare de 95% pentru măsurile de reconstrucție. Pot fi finanțate obiective cum ar fi repararea infrastructurii și echipamentelor deteriorate, furnizarea de alimente și asistență materială de bază și sprijin social și medical, precum sprijinirea temporară a finanțării schemelor de șomaj tehnic pentru persoanele care și-au pierdut locurile de muncă din cauza dezastrelor. Măsura a fost convenită de Uniunea Europeană după dezastrele naturale din Europa Centrală, de Est și de Sud din 2024. Fenomenele extreme, cauzate de schimbările climatice, au generat pagube importante în 2024, în Polonia, România, Austria, Cehia, Ungaria, Portugalia și Slovacia.  Astfel că instituțiile europene au vrut să se asigure că vor putea sprijini în mod flexibil toate statele membre afectate de dezastrele climatice. Așadar, în conformitate cu regulile mecanismului RESTORE, pentru reconstrucția localității Broșteni, la fiecare 5 euro investiți de la București, Bruxelles-ul vine cu 95 de euro. Și nu trebuie să obosim să spunem aceste lucruri, în condițiile în care propaganda rusească a descins în localitatea grav afectată pentru a face ce știe mai bine: sumbinarea încrederii în autorități și în democrație, denigrarea democrației liberale și a Uniunii Europene. În acest noian de minciuni, un adevăr rămâne, după ce apa trece și oamenii încep să-și revină din șoc și să-și reface viețile și avutul. Și anume, că în timp ce suveraniștii vin cu selfiuri și cu propagandă, Europa vine cu bani reali și soluții concrete.   Ascultați rubrica ”Eurocronica”, cu Ovidiu Nahoi, în fiecare zi, de luni până vineri, de la 8.45 și în reluare duminica, de la 15.00, numai la RFI România

Episode: 2810 The Concrete Revolution in Ancient Rome.  Today, some concrete achievements.

About this Episode Many couples find themselves caught in unproductive loops of reactivity, defensiveness, and miscommunication, often rooted in old patterns and unhealed wounds. If you've ever felt stuck repeating the same arguments, or struggled to respond with empathy instead of reacting on autopilot, you're not alone. Conflict doesn't have to drive you and your partner apart. In fact, the way you handle disagreements might be the very thing that brings you closer together or pushes you further away. In this episode, you'll discover practical strategies for staying close through conflict by learning to respond rather than react. You'll hear about how early family dynamics shape our adult responses, why curiosity can be a game-changer, and why true empathy starts with self-compassion. Through insightful metaphors like comparing relationships to yoga practice or learning to slow down a speeding car—you'll find tools to recognize when you're becoming triggered, regulate your emotions, and open space for meaningful, connected conversations.

Grandpa Bill: Welcome back, memory masters and curious minds, to The BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour! I'm your host, Grandpa Bill, and you're listening to the second installment of our Major System Bootcamp Review. Yesterday, we took a whirlwind tour through my memory palace, exploring stations 11-20 and some of the wild, wonderful, and wonderfully weird PAO images that are helping me master the art of recall, all thanks to the inspiration of Dr. Anthony Metivier's Magnetic Memory Method.Now, if you tuned in yesterday, you might have heard me stumbling over a few concepts, or maybe felt like I was explaining things a little too abstractly. Well, consider this "Part Two" my official on-air correction and clarification session! Today, we're not just talking about memory techniques; we're going to demonstrate them.Because sometimes, talking about a "PAO system" or a "Major System" can feel a bit like discussing theoretical physics. But when you hold up an actual example, it clicks! And that's exactly what I'm doing right here, right now. For those of you listening, imagine I'm holding up a simple 3x5 index card. On this card, I've got my Major PAO system laid out for the numbers 0 through 9.Let's start with the basics, and this is where I want to correct any confusion from yesterday. The Major System works by assigning a consonant sound to each digit. It's a phonetic alphabet for numbers!0: S or Z sound (think "zero" or "sun")1: T or D sound (think "tie" or "dog")2: N sound (think "Noah" or "gnome")3: M sound (think "Ma" or "Moe")4: R sound (think "roar" or "row")5: L sound (think "lip" or "lawn")6: J, Ch, Sh, G (soft) sound (think "jaw" or "church" or "shoe")7: K, C (hard), G (hard) sound (think "key" or "cow" or "gum")8: F or V sound (think "fife" or "van")9: P or B sound (think "pie" or "bee")Grandpa Bill: So, looking at my index card, for each number, I've assigned a Person, an Action, and an Object – that's the PAO! This isn't just about memorizing a sound; it's about creating a living, breathing character that embodies that sound. And this is crucial for the Magnetic Memory Method because it allows us to combine these elements to form incredibly vivid, unique, and therefore unforgettable scenes.Let's walk through a few from my personal system, right off this index card:For the number 0 (S/Z sound): My Person is Sonic (the hedgehog, of course!), my Action is Sprinting, and my Object is a Soccer ball. So, Sonic sprinting with a soccer ball. Simple, right? But incredibly effective.For the number 1 (T/D sound): My Person is Thor, my Action is Throwing, and his Object is his Hammer (Mjolnir). Imagine Thor throwing his hammer – boom! Instant memory trigger.For the number 2 (N sound): My Person is Neo (from The Matrix), his Action is Nudging, and his Object is a Net. Neo nudging a net. A bit quirky, a bit unexpected, and that's exactly what makes it stick!For the number 3 (M sound): My Person is Marge Simpson, her Action is Miming, and her Object is a Microphone. Marge Simpson miming with a microphone. Grandpa Bill Asks :If you could create a completely absurd, unforgettable memory scene for a number in your life, what would it look like? Now that you've seen my PAO examples, how would you construct it using a person, an action, and an object?What's one thing you wish you could remember more easily, and how would mastering a memory palace, with a system like the Major PAO, change your life? Think about how these vivid scenes could help you with names, dates, facts, or even your shopping list!What's the strangest image you could imagine that would help you remember something forever?

SHOW NOTES: It's been a hot one out there, and some of us have been battling our own home issues, like Leslie's air conditioning woes. But we're here to lend a hand, no matter what you're tackling this summer! We've got a fantastic show lined up for you today, packed with expert advice and practical solutions for your biggest home challenges. Here's a sneak peek at what's coming up on The Money Pit: - Landscape Heatwave Survival: We'll dive into smart ways to help your lawn and garden survive scorching temperatures with essential watering tips, clever mowing tricks, and how to protect your sensitive potted plants from baking in the sun. - Roof Maxx Roof Rejuvenation: We're joined by Mike Feazel, CEO and co-founder of Roof Maxx, who will share how this innovative treatment can protect your roof from blistering heat, pounding storms, sun damage, thermal shock, and hail, extending roof life and helping you avoid costly replacements. - Concrete Resurfacing Solutions: Discover how to give your cracked, pitted, or weatherworn concrete surfaces a second life with products like Quickrete's Recap Trowel Grade Resurfacer. We'll explain how these solutions can dramatically improve your curb appeal at a fraction of the cost of tearing out and replacing old concrete, plus provide a durable, long-lasting finish.   Q & A: - Karen from Texas is seeking a solution for her cracked driveway that won't involve tearing out all the concrete from her 1970s home. Quikrete's Re-Cap Resurfacer product is an excellent option for this repair and can be used over the existing concrete. - Jeff in Pennsylvania is curious about economically moving chilly basement air upstairs to cool the rest of his home. This isn't a great idea, and he should instead rely on his central HVAC system, possibly with a return duct in the finished basement. - Dave from Iowa calls about a persistent rotten egg smell in his farmhouse, noting he has well water and a water softener. We think the hot water heater's anode may be causing the smell. - Susan from Alaska wants advice on removing tile from her fireplace hearth and successfully painting the brick underneath. This repair has some challenges, and she should be prepared to remove adhesive. Also, once brick is painted, it's nearly impossible to change. - Lauren, who sent an email, has acquired a neglected property with overgrown ivy, gaps, and cracks in the siding. The best way to assess the house's current condition is to get a full home inspection, with a report that will identify the best places to start.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

Send us a textAmerica's mental health crisis extends beyond individuals to our national discourse, creating escalating divisions that threaten our collective well-being and future. Psychotherapist Phyllis Leavitt explains how applying family systems therapy principles to our societal problems could create pathways for healing our fractured nation.• Mentally healthy people don't want to hurt each other - they seek relationship repair, listening, and taking responsibility rather than blame• Our political system currently models behaviors we wouldn't tolerate in schools, workplaces, or families• The win-lose dynamic dominating our politics has reached a dangerous point where our ability to destroy each other threatens our survival• Immigration issues require examining root causes - people flee homelands due to conditions often influenced by developed nations' interference• Inside every perpetrator is an unhealed victim - understanding this helps address the true origins of destructive behavior• Social media algorithms amplify our worst tendencies by feeding us increasingly divisive content based on our engagement patterns• Small positive actions matter - millions of Americans doing good work represent our potential for healing• We must choose between being right and having relationships that sustain us• Concrete suggestion: trained facilitators in Congress could transform political discourse by enforcing basic rules of civil communicationHealing begins with each of us in our own spheres of influence - we can all be better listeners, more compassionate, and committed to repairing relationships rather than winning arguments.Your host and Phyllis E.

One of the toughest things about trying to understand climate change – arguably the most important story of our time — is wrapping our minds around it. To even imagine something so enormous, so life-changing, we need a story. Some characters, a metaphor, and even some lessons learned. For that, we turn to the novelists and journalists telling the story of climate change – as we – and our children – live it.Original Air Date: August 14, 2021Interviews In This Hour: The Climate Change Stories We Need To Hear — The Climate Crisis Gets Biblical — Lidia Yuknavitch's Dream World: How Dreams Shaped Her Dazzling Speculative Novel — A Climate Dystopia Of Cold, Concrete, Wind and a WallGuests: Alice Bell, Lydia Millet, Lidia Yuknavitch, John LanchesterNever want to miss an episode?

Framers & Concrete Crews - We Need to Talk!  In this straight-shooting episode of the Elevate Construction Podcast, Jason Schroeder dives into a conversation the industry needs to have: framers and concrete crews asking for the entire jobsite and how it's slowing down your projects. From hospital basements the size of football fields to cramped urban builds in Salt Lake and even oil rigs in the ocean, Jason challenges the “we need the whole site” mentality head-on. With deep respect for trade partners and decades of hands-on experience in concrete, he breaks down how smaller batch sizes, smarter sequencing, and tighter flow can cut project phases by a third or even half. Whether you're laying foundations or raising walls, this episode is a must-listen call to rethink how we build together. Get inspired. Get challenged. Get moving.

They also touch on the importance of following instructions for optimal results, likening the experience to a fun DIY adventure instead of a chore.In the second half of the show, Eric shifts gears to address the pitfalls of trying to save money on window replacements. He shares a cautionary tale about the challenges of replacing glass in older aluminum windows, revealing how labor costs can often outweigh the benefits of simply swapping out panes. With his usual wit, he highlights that sometimes, going for a full window replacement can actually be the more cost-effective and practical solution, especially when considering long-term value and curb appeal. The episode wraps up with Eric offering sage advice on the best practices for window replacements, ensuring listeners come away with valuable takeaways for their own home improvement projects.Takeaways: Eric and Todd break down how easy it is to restore your concrete driveway or patio without breaking the bank or hiring a pro—seriously, it's like DIY magic!

In the second half, Eric shares the harsh reality of window replacements, emphasizing how trying to save money could backfire and cost you more in the long run—yikes! If your windows are blown out, replacing the entire unit might be more cost-effective than just swapping out the glass, especially in older homes like Eric's built in '79. Todd explains that LikeNuConcrete is incredibly forgiving, which is a huge relief for those of us who aren't concrete pros—mistakes can be easily fixed with a quick spritz! Cleaning the concrete properly before application is crucial; it's like giving your surface a good bath before the makeover, ensuring the product adheres beautifully.

They cover everything from choosing the right Marley floor to preventing injuries, cleaning and maintenance tips, and the latest innovations from Gerriets. Bill's technical theater background and passion for helping studios shine make this a must-listen for any studio owner.   Episode Timestamps [00:28] – Meet Bill Brown from Gerriets Dance Floors [01:36] – Bill's background in technical theater and his journey with Gerriets [03:52] – History of Gerriets: From curtains to Marley dance floors [06:00] – Why flooring matters: Cushioning, subfloors, and injury prevention [08:09] – Challenges of multi-use floors: Tap vs. ballet needs [09:36] – The Vario Beat floor: Balancing slickness and grip [09:58] – Overview of other popular Gerriets products like Vario Pro [12:19] – Common mistakes studio owners make when installing floors [15:45] – Cleaning tips and Gerriets new Vario Care product line [18:16] – Gerriets new dedicated dance floor website [19:22] – Rapid-fire Q&A: Mistakes, installation tips, and favorite projects [24:13] – Bill's favorite part about working in dance flooring [24:55] – Coolest venues Gerriet's has worked with [26:25] – Final thoughts and how to connect with Gerriets   Key Takeaways Subflooring is critical – Concrete floors can cause long-term joint issues without proper cushioning. Marley floors vary by dance style – Ballet, tap, and multi-use studios require different traction levels. The Vario Beat floor balances slickness for tap with grip for ballet thanks to its innovative embossing. Proper cleaning is essential – Use pH-neutral, non-abrasive cleaners to maintain Marley's surface. Gerriets Vario Care line includes daily and deep-clean products plus a protective finish to extend floor life. Ask questions before installing – Delivery logistics, subfloor prep, and correct flooring choice are key. Gerriets new website specifically for dance floors https://gerrietsdancefloors.com/ makes it easier for studio owners to find flooring solutions and request quotes. Bill's philosophy: The right floor supports dancers' health and enhances performance while lasting for years.   Links Mentioned in This Episode Gerriets Dance Floors: https://gerrietsdancefloors.com/ Energize Conference and Expo: https://www.energizeconference.com/ Dance Studio Owner: https://www.dancestudioowner.com/public/joinnow.cfm Rate, Review & Subscribe!
