Higher food prices, economic instability, and other factors have made providing for a family even harder. 1 in 8 households in the U.S. is food insecure. That means these families don't have enough money or resources to buy enough food for everyone in their household. As recently as 2022, 7.3 million children lived in food insecure households. Also, 16.9% of children live in poverty.   SNAP Benefits More than 22 million U.S. households use SNAP benefits to help with food costs, as of April 2023. Sometimes known as “food stamps,” SNAP is the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. People who receive SNAP benefits can use it to buy groceries, seeds, and plants for food. SNAP cannot be used to purchase hot food or household items like cleaning supplies, vitamins, or diapers.   CONNECT WITH Cedric Francis Website: https://www.lead2greatness.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cedricbfrancis X: https://twitter.com/cedricbfrancis Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cedricbfrancis/ • • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cedric-b-francis-a0544037/

In this powerful episode of Dr. Marianne-Land, I sit down with Dr. Amanda Marie, a psychologist, educator, and mental health advocate who shares her story of battling bulimia throughout her teen years, college, and into her PhD program. Amanda opens up about how her eating disorder began at 15, fueled by a drive for perfect grades, external validation, and the pressure to perform. She talks about how restriction, bingeing, and purging shaped her daily life and how she balanced secrecy, martial arts training, and academic achievement while silently struggling. We explore: How perfectionism and self-worth tied to grades, sports, and appearance can feed into disordered eating The hidden toll bulimia took on Amanda's body, mind, and relationships How academia and high-achieving environments can intensify eating disorders The turning point that inspired Amanda to pursue recovery after years of secrecy and shame The importance of support systems, therapy, and using determination as a strength in healing What Amanda would say to her 15-year-old self and to anyone listening who feels stuck in their eating disorder Amanda's story is one of survival and transformation. She explains how she reclaimed her grit and perseverance, once tied to her eating disorder, and redirected them toward recovery, authenticity, and compassion.

In this episode of the Musicians Creating Prosperity podcast, Dr. Fabiana Claure reveals a surprising truth: the fastest path to business growth as a musician entrepreneur isn't just forward momentum—it's knowing when to pause.

They explore the importance of learning from indigenous tribes' functional health practices, the impact of sensory awareness on movement quality, and the revolutionary regenerative techniques transforming orthopedics.

After the non-profit dissolved in 2012, Dr. Higgins returned to private practice, later reuniting with Lt. Col. Patrick Marques to develop the NeuroAthlete program and clinic. This led to the opening of a new facility in Monument, CO, designed to provide tailored care for clients in person and online. Dr. Higgins enjoys hiking, backpacking, and community involvement with his wife and three children, two of whom are pursuing military careers.   Connect With Dr. Grove Higgins:   Website Instagram Facebook LinkedIn   Connect with Steven: Website Xero Shoes Join the MOVEMENT Movement X Instagram Facebook

RED SHADOWS AT SAUGATUCK Darrell Henshaw hoped he was past it all. After all, no ghosts had visited him for years. Instead, he learns his five-year-old-son, Leo has inherited his “gift.” Now, they both can see ghosts. Upon his parents' insistence, Darrell agrees to drive his young family 800 miles to celebrate his Aunt Gertrude's 80th birthday. But, once in the resort town of Saugatuck, Michigan, their participation gets derailed by the spirit of a Native teen who went missing weeks earlier. When he and Leo inquire about the girl, the locals dismiss their concerns—"Those girls run away all the time.” Still, as questions pile up and threats grow, Darrell senses they may have stumbled onto something far worse and even more evil than one missing teen. Can Darrell continue to pursue justice for the girl if it places his wife and five-year-old son in danger?

Family, Parenting, and Leo's Gift – The story highlights family relationships and parenting dilemmas as Leo, a precocious five-year-old who also sees ghosts, propels his father into solving the mystery of a missing teen. Setting and History in Saugatuck – The novel blends a richly detailed sense of place with the legend of the ghost town of Singapore, capturing the charm, beauty, and history of the Michigan lakeshore. Social Issues and Authenticity – Randy discusses weaving in the real crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW), informed by conversations with tribal elders to ensure cultural respect and accuracy. Book Launch and What's Ahead – He reflects on the warm reception at the Saugatuck launch, shares how each book in the series stands alone, and talks about possible future entries alongside other projects.   ABOUT THE AUTHOR Dr. Randy Overbeck is an award-winning educator, author, speaker and podcaster.

Are energy drinks hijacking your brain? And your kids?They promise a high, but at what price?IT'S NOT JUST A DRINK; IT'S A DAILY HIT TO THE NERVOUS SYSTEM.A dopamine hit now that could lead to anxiety, crashes and sleep issues later.One can = up to 300mg of caffeine. That's 2-4 coffees in a single hit. Then add sugar and taurine. This is the buzz that might be blocking sleep, spiking dopamine, raising cortisol, increasing mood swings and leading to burnout.What starts as a boost can become a brain imbalance.And one can is rarely the only one. So, what if your boost or your kid's ‘buzz' is silently burning out yours and their brains?"Protect your brain. Protect your health.Tag someone who needs to hear this.

In this episode of the Musicians Creating Prosperity Podcast, Dr. Fabiana Claure shares the real reason why so many musicians feel overwhelmed, stuck, and on the brink of burnout—despite working around the clock. Rather than wearing “busy” as a badge of honor, Fabiana reveals how focusing on the wrong tasks (even if they seem productive) can sabotage your business growth and drain your energy. This episode is a call to reclaim your time, refocus your efforts, and step into the CEO role your music business needs you to be. Through empowering coaching insights and practical strategies, you'll discover how to shift from reactive busyness to intentional, high-impact productivity that actually moves the needle. Key Highlights: Busy vs. Productive: Understand why being constantly busy isn't the same as building a successful business—and how to tell the difference. The Time Audit Breakthrough: Learn how your calendar reflects your true priorities—and how a simple audit can help you uncover hidden energy drainers. The Hidden Cost of DIY Hustle: Why editing videos, designing graphics, and doing everything yourself could be costing you thousands in missed income. Creation & Connection: Discover the high-value activities that actually grow your business—and how to make space for them in your weekly routine. Energy Awareness: Not all tasks are equal. Fabiana breaks down how to spot the ones that drain your energy—even if they only take 30 minutes. Letting Go with Grace: Explore why your next level of growth may require unlearning old habits and outsourcing tasks that no longer serve your bigger vision. This episode is a powerful invitation to shift out of survival mode and into strategic leadership.

In this episode of the Musicians Creating Prosperity Podcast, Dr. Fabiana Claure shares a critical message for musicians looking to grow their businesses: don't rush into paid advertising without a validated offer. Before pouring money into Facebook, Instagram, or Google ads, there's essential groundwork you must lay to ensure your investment yields real results. Drawing from years of experience mentoring musicians to build six-figure businesses, Fabiana breaks down why starting with organic marketing—leveraging your existing network, refining your message, and proving your offer—sets the foundation for scalable success. This episode is a must-listen for any musician considering a shift in business model or preparing to launch something new. Key Highlights: Why Ads Are Not Step One: Discover why paid advertising too early can waste money—and how to know when you're actually ready to scale with ads. The Power of Organic Validation: Learn how to test your offer, messaging, and client results using your current network before turning to strangers online. Repositioning Your Expertise: Fabiana explains how to rebrand your existing knowledge into a premium mentorship model and confidently bring it to market. Proof First, Promotion Later: Understand why testimonials, clarity, and alignment are more powerful than high ad spend when building trust and credibility. Mindset & Confidence in Sales: Hear how internal conviction becomes your greatest asset in creating content, showing up online, and enrolling clients. Avoiding the Common Pitfall: Fabiana outlines how skipping organic strategy in favor of “quick-fix” ads leads many musicians to confusion, frustration, and lost dollars. This episode is a grounded and empowering reminder that visibility must be built on a strong foundation. Musicians don't need to gamble with their budget—they need to build confidence through clarity, connection, and proof. Fabiana invites you to tune into the slower, more strategic path that leads to long-term prosperity and impact.   The Musician's Profit Masterclass: Is your music business income able to grow without taking more of your time?

What happens when the emotional, hormonal, and cultural shifts of perimenopause intersect with the daily realities of motherhood? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr Cristina Cavezza - clinical psychologist, certified Motherhood Studies practitioner, and mother of twins - for a powerful conversation on the complexities of midlife mothering. Cristina shares her clinical and lived experience of working with mothers during the menopausal transition, exploring how body image, eating habits, and emotional wellbeing are shaped by both personal history and broader systems of power. We talk about the role of objectification theory, the impact of internalised shame and societal shoulds, and the importance of approaching our inner worlds with compassion and curiosity. Cristina brings a trauma-informed, feminist lens to her work - blending schema therapy, EMDR, and therapeutic re-parenting to support women in understanding their emotional needs and reclaiming a more connected relationship with food, their bodies, and themselves. She also offers a beautiful reminder about the importance of play - not just for our children, but for us too. CONNECT WITH DR. CRISTINA CAVEZZA
