What's it really like to open and operate a Haunted Attraction business? Can your dream really come true? Can you do it by yourself? We answer all of your questions in this Master Class with Conner Beets from Imminent Doom Haunted House. Conner, a lifetime Haunt enthusiast, started and operated his first commercial haunted attraction this year (2025). At the age of 20 years old! Conner's 5 Top Tips for starting a brand-new haunt are… 1. Build outside city limits if possible! If you happen to be in the city limits… be in CONSTANT communication with your local Fire Marshall and don't try to fight them on codes. Believe me… You will not win that battle lol! 2. Invest Wisely! As cool as some of those massive props are at TransWorld… the quality often isn't what it is at the show when you receive your copy. When at a show, be sure to thoroughly inspect a prop to make sure it is built to last and will be a worthwhile investment for your show! 3. Train your actors!!! As cool as your sets and props may be, your guests only want one thing… to be terrified!!! You can have the most beautiful and high-tech animatronics known to man. Still, if you don't hold your actors to a standard and train them how to scare, develop characters, and pace themselves properly… your show will definitely suffer! 4. Work with and collaborate with your other local haunted attractions! We did a huge project this year called The Frightful Four of East Texas, featuring four local haunts, and it absolutely blew up into a huge deal! You can learn a lot from working with fellow industry experts from your area, and since you are all near each other… There is room for everyone to succeed by working together to drive more guests to your area around October! 5. Stay Humble! I cannot stress this one enough! Don't be a giant Douche for lack of a better word! Your show is not the best thing in the world, despite what you may think, and you will always have to work to improve your show year after year! Also, don't be afraid to ask for help. I haven't seen many haunts that absolutely one person builds, so I'm definitely willing to work with others!
Seven Ways to Know You're in the Will of God • Sunday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Seven Ways to Know You're in the Will of God (And How You Know When You're Not) Let me tell you something up front: The will of God is not a mystery! Religion paints this picture like God is hiding His will from you, and you've got to stumble around in the dark hoping you trip into it. No! God's will is clear, God's will is knowable, and God's will brings you into blessing and kingdom advancement. If you're not in the will of God, you're wasting time, spinning your wheels, and giving the devil a foothold in your life. But when you're in His will, you don't just survive—you multiply, you advance, and you shake the nations for Christ. 1. Peace in Your Spirit Scripture: “And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.” — Colossians 3:15 (NKJV) 2. Confirmation by the Word of God Scripture: “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” — Psalm 119:105 (NKJV) 3. Fruitfulness and Multiplication Scripture: “You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?” — Matthew 7:16 (NKJV) 4. Open Doors by God's Hand Scripture: “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.” — Revelation 3:8 (NKJV) 5. The Witness of the Holy Spirit Scripture: “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.” — Romans 8:16 (NKJV) 6. Provision in the Assignment Scripture: “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 4:19 (NKJV) 7. Advancing the Kingdom of God Scripture: “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” — Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) How You Know You're NOT in the Will of God Let me hit this quickly and clearly. The Bible shows us markers of being outside His will: 1. Confusion and unrest. “For God is not the author of confusion but of peace.” — 1 Corinthians 14:33 (NKJV) 2. Compromise against Scripture. “But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you… let him be accursed.” — Galatians 1:8 (NKJV) 3. Lack of fruit. “If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered.” — John 15:6 (NKJV) 4. Constant striving with no breakthrough. “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.” — Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NKJV) 5. Ignoring conviction. “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.” — Ephesians 4:30 (NKJV) 6. Living in lack. “You have sown much, and bring in little… he who earns wages, earns wages to put into a bag with holes.” — Haggai 1:6 (NKJV) 7. Self-glory instead of God's glory. “I am the Lord, that is My name; and My glory I will not give to another.” — Isaiah 42:8 (NKJV) Conclusion Friend, the will of God is not something you have to stumble into—it's something you step into by faith and obedience. When you're in His will, peace rules your heart, doors open, fruit multiplies, provision flows, and the Kingdom advances. When you're out of it, confusion reigns, doors slam shut, provision dries up, and your life feels like pushing a boulder uphill. Make up your mind tonight: I will live in the center of God's will. I will not be distracted. I will not compromise. I will not settle. Because when you're in His will—you're unstoppable.
Rob and Michele Reiner spent nearly two decades trying to save their son. Seventeen rehab stays. Constant supervision. A guest house on their property so they could keep him close and try to manage the chaos. Every possible resource love, money, access, and opportunity could provide. And still, on December 15, 2025, they were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home. Their son, Nick Reiner, now faces charges in their killings. This is not a story about parents who missed the warning signs. It's about parents who lived with those signs for eighteen years and had no legal way to act on them. In this in-depth conversation, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines what was likely unfolding inside the Reiner family long before that final night. She breaks down why Nick Reiner's own words — that drugs were never about getting high but about “killing the noise” — point to deeper psychological distress that traditional rehab often fails to address. We explore what happens to parents psychologically when they've exhausted every option yet remain trapped in proximity to a volatile adult child, and why wealth and access offered no real protection. The discussion then widens to a second chilling case: the Mickey Stines tragedy in Kentucky, where a sheriff fatally shot a judge inside his own courthouse after weeks of visible psychological unraveling. Witnesses described paranoia, severe sleep deprivation, rapid weight loss, delusional beliefs, and an alarming phone call to a deceased relative on the day of the incident. Coworkers saw it. Friends saw it. Authorities saw it. And still, no intervention stopped what followed. Together, these cases expose a painful reality: in the United States, families and communities often recognize danger long before the law allows action. Competent adults cannot be forced into treatment. Intervention requires “imminent danger,” a threshold that frequently isn't crossed until lives are already lost. This conversation isn't about excusing violence or assigning blame. It's about confronting the limits of love, the failures baked into mental-health and commitment laws, and the impossible position families are placed in when respecting autonomy means risking their own safety. If you've ever wondered how people can do everything right and still end up here, this episode offers uncomfortable — but necessary — answers. #ReinerMurders #NickReiner #MickeyStines #JudgeKevinMullins #TrueCrime #MentalHealthCrisis #SystemicFailure #CrimePsychology #FamilyViolence #ShavaunScott #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this powerhouse episode of the Business of Strength Podcast, Coach Joe Strong sits down with Matt Wiedemer—champion powerlifter, longtime private-sector coach, trainer to UFC legend Jon Jones, and the owner of BEAT Personal Training, one of the most profitable hybrid gym models in the industry.What starts as a conversation between two lifelong strength nerds quickly turns into a masterclass in business, coaching, culture, and leadership. Matt shares the real story behind his rise—from sleeping in trucks to train at Westside Barbell, to building 6- and 7-figure training businesses, to running a thriving 16,000+ sq/ft hybrid PT + membership gym that prints cash and changes lives.This episode is equal parts raw, hilarious, practical, and deeply insightful.WHY GYM OWNERS & COACHES MUST LISTEN:Because Matt says what EVERYONE is thinking—but won't say out loud.From broken work ethics in young trainers, to the lies gym owners tell themselves, to why being “busy” is the blessing you once prayed for—Matt speaks the truth every strength entrepreneur needs to hear.Because he reveals the hybrid business model that prints money.Matt breaks down exactly how BEAT produces $110,000+ per month in PT and 1,500+ members at $60/mo, why both sides feed each other, and why most gym owners miss the opportunity sitting right in front of them.Because this is what mastery REALLY looks like.Obsession. Curiosity. Competing. Note-taking. Testing. Constant self-evaluation. Matt shows you the path to becoming the kind of coach clients never leave.Because community—not equipment—is the differentiator.People remember how coaching changed their life, not what brand of squat rack you bought. Matt shares how his team builds deep relationships that keep people training for decades.Because this episode will make you a better leader immediately.Whether you're managing employees, growing locations, fixing culture problems, or trying to get out from under your own weaknesses—Matt gives you the playbook.Don't forget our next LIVE event is Trainer School 2.0 at VH-HQ January 23rd.

Why does your team come to you for every decision? It's not a people problem—it's a clarity problem. Here's how to solve it.
There's a mystical moment in every adventurer's life when you stare deeply into your character sheet, question every subclass you've ever loved, and think: "Is this really better… or did they just rename it again?" Welcome to the UA 2025 Subclass Update—where barbarians downgrade, fighters glow-up, monks chug things, and paladins summon skeletons with the enthusiasm of a dad discovering Bluetooth for the first time. Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the team dives into the Unearthed Arcana 2025 Subclasses Update, a grab bag of returning classics and rebalanced favorites from the 2014 rules. Some subclasses got fresh polish; others… got "updates." Randall, Ash, and Tyler walk through each major subclass, offering analysis, jokes, and a metric ton of sandwich discourse. Covered Subclasses: Path of the Spiritual Guardian Barbarian – Once the iconic barb tank, now notably nerfed. The new "choose-your-effect" system softens its once-reliable battlefield control. Result: "Meh, but fixable." Path of the Storm Herald Barbarian – A clear upgrade with better scaling, damage options, and flexible aura selection. A quiet winner in this UA. Cavalier Fighter – Surprisingly buffed. Constant marking, battlefield lockdown, and double reactions at high level. The table unanimously loves the glow-up. Warrior of Intoxication Monk – Formerly Drunken Master. New Mystic Brews add fun, flavor, and chaos—but the name flops harder than spilled ale. The team unanimously prefers "Warrior of Libations." Oathbreaker Paladin – Now with better necromancy tools and improvements to Aura of Hate. Gains Conjure Undead to avoid relying on friendly necromancers. Not perfect, but more self-sufficient.

À l'occasion de la Journée internationale des migrants, nous parlons de leur accès aux soins. Selon l'OMS, on comptait plus d'un milliard de personnes en déplacement dans le monde en 2022, soit environ une personne sur huit. Particulièrement exposées aux maladies transmissibles ou aux affections d'origine alimentaire ou hydrique pendant leur parcours migratoire, ces populations peuvent également avoir besoin d'un suivi pour des maladies chroniques. Or, de nombreux obstacles peuvent entraver leur accès aux soins. Comment améliorer l'accès aux soins des personnes migrantes ? La journée internationale des migrants donne l'occasion d'évoquer différents aspects de la santé des personnes qui ont quitté leur pays d'origine et disposent ou non d'un titre de séjour. Cette situation d'éloignement des populations implique de nombreuses spécificités en termes de troubles et d'affections, mais aussi en lien avec la problématique-clé de l'accès aux soins pour les personnes exilées ou réfugiées, au cours du parcours migratoire, comme à l'arrivée. L'accueil sanitaire des migrants - qui constituent un groupe hétérogène aux besoins de santé diversifiés - doit en théorie être une étape importante en matière de dépistage, en particulier des maladies asymptomatiques ou bénignes, qui peuvent présenter des complications sévères. Populations vulnérables Des dispositifs spécifiques existent en France pour permettre d'être pris en charge, y compris lorsque l'on n'est pas en possession d'un titre de séjour en règle (l'Aide Médicale d'État concerne les personnes étrangères arrivées, depuis plus de trois mois), mais l'information n'est pas toujours accessible et adaptée, et de nombreuses personnes migrantes, par méconnaissance ou par crainte, restent éloignées du système de soins. Méconnaissance des dispositifs Des O.N.G. travaillent spécifiquement auprès des populations les plus vulnérables, souvent éprouvées sur le plan psychologique et physique par leur parcours migratoire. Les difficultés de logement, les antécédents médicaux, les différences culturelles et linguistiques, les traumatismes associés aux violences basées sur le genre sont autant de facteurs qui rendent complexe cette prise en charge des patients migrants. Avec : Camille Moreau, responsable des activités médicales au Centre d'accueil de jour à Pantin de Médecins sans frontières Dr Sandra Petiot, médecin anesthésiste réanimateur à Paris et médecin bénévole à la Clinique Mobile à Porte de la Villette, au nord de Paris, pour MSF Amoss Makohe, doctorant en Psychopathologie clinique à l'Université de Yaoundé 1 au Cameroun, et ancien staff MSF Espagne comme responsable des Activités Santé Mentale et Soutien Psychosocial aux côtés des migrants à Agadez au Niger. Un reportage de Raphaëlle Constant. ► En fin d'émission, nous parlons de l'inauguration d'une unité de crise, au sein de la maison des adolescents de l'Hôpital Cochin, l'unité Weiji.

There's a mystical moment in every adventurer's life when you stare deeply into your character sheet, question every subclass you've ever loved, and think: "Is this really better… or did they just rename it again?" Welcome to the UA 2025 Subclass Update—where barbarians downgrade, fighters glow-up, monks chug things, and paladins summon skeletons with the enthusiasm of a dad discovering Bluetooth for the first time. Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the team dives into the Unearthed Arcana 2025 Subclasses Update, a grab bag of returning classics and rebalanced favorites from the 2014 rules. Some subclasses got fresh polish; others… got "updates." Randall, Ash, and Tyler walk through each major subclass, offering analysis, jokes, and a metric ton of sandwich discourse. Covered Subclasses: Path of the Spiritual Guardian Barbarian – Once the iconic barb tank, now notably nerfed. The new "choose-your-effect" system softens its once-reliable battlefield control. Result: "Meh, but fixable." Path of the Storm Herald Barbarian – A clear upgrade with better scaling, damage options, and flexible aura selection. A quiet winner in this UA. Cavalier Fighter – Surprisingly buffed. Constant marking, battlefield lockdown, and double reactions at high level. The table unanimously loves the glow-up. Warrior of Intoxication Monk – Formerly Drunken Master. New Mystic Brews add fun, flavor, and chaos—but the name flops harder than spilled ale. The team unanimously prefers "Warrior of Libations." Oathbreaker Paladin – Now with better necromancy tools and improvements to Aura of Hate. Gains Conjure Undead to avoid relying on friendly necromancers. Not perfect, but more self-sufficient. Key Takeaways Spiritual Guardian took a noticeable hit, losing its fully reliable taunt-and-protect combo in favor of weaker pick-one options. Storm Herald received meaningful boosts, including scalable aura damage and flexible environment selection. Cavalier emerges as one of the strongest defenders in the UA thanks to unlimited marking and battlefield control. Warrior of Intoxication has fun ideas but clunky execution, suffering from naming issues and overly slow brew mechanics. Oathbreaker finally feels like a playable subclass on its own, thanks to Conjure Undead and improved aura integration.

Why do high-achievers feel perpetually behind, even while consuming more content than ever? In this conversation, Pat Flynn explains the trap of “overlearning” and how it quietly keeps us stuck in motion without progress. You'll learn how to shift from “just-in-case” learning to “just-in-time” learning, create real momentum with a simple four-step framework, and protect what matters most with practical boundaries. Along the way, Pat shares how these principles helped him build multiple successful businesses (including a Pokémon channel with millions of followers) without sacrificing his family, health, or joy.Memorable Quotes“We all, in a way, are not just our overlearning, but we're getting over-inspired. We're so connected with so many amazing people out there who teach us this and push us over here, and then we're pulled over this way. We're spread so thin it's we're we're not seeing any results in our own life.”“Now we all have access to all the same kind of information, but we're still treating it as if it's scarce…However, we now live in a buffet line of information… and we're not quite evolved to absorb all of this because we're stuffing our plates full. Not only are we getting bloated and and and slowed down, but we're also getting force-fed on these platforms.”“This is the difference between ‘just-in-case learning,' which is what we've all been doing, and ‘just-in-time learning,' which is learning what you need to know to just take that next step. Because truly the action of taking that next step, the results of that one way or another—whether there are good results or bad results—can teach you so much more than just absorbing this information and never taking any action at all.” “[Silence] allows me to be with myself and to digest the things that I've already learned, to think about my priorities and the things I've already committed to. It allows me to make creative connections between things that I have already picked up instead of just getting more puzzle pieces to try to figure out where they go.”“I mean I was always taught that again, ‘The more you know the more successful you'll be,' and there's always seemingly opportunities to inject more of that learning. And it has this sort of fake productivity that goes along with it, because it is only truly productive, in my opinion, when you actually put into action those things that you do read or listen to or watch.”“At our authors retreat, a theme across most of the people there was not optimizing for revenue, not optimizing for scale, but optimizing for peace. And that was huge to think about.”“If I give myself five months to learn, I'm gonna take five months to learn it. If I give myself five hours to learn, I'm gonna take five hours to learn it. So I almost use time as a tool to help me get to the point of action and then understanding sooner.”“I've developed this rule called the 20% Itch Rule, and that is, out of all the things you do, 80% of your time is dedicated to the things you've already committed to, the things that, the responsibilities you have, the things that you've already said, yes to. The last 20% of time, allocate for curiosity, for play, for experimentation.”Key TakeawaysOverlearning Is a Hidden Productivity Trap. Constant consumption creates a sense of progress without producing results—and often adds more “to-dos” than your life can hold.Shift from “Just-in-Case” to “Just-in-Time.” Learn only what you need for the next step, then take action. Real learning accelerates through doing.Use the 4-Step Lean Learning Cycle. Identify the next step → choose one resource → implement → review. Repeat.Silence Helps You Digest What You Already Know. Pat's “silent car” habit creates space for integration, creativity, and clarity.Watch for “Junk Sparks.” Many ideas are just distractions dressed up as opportunity—especially when algorithms reduce the friction to buy, click, or binge.Try the “20% Itch Rule.” Dedicate 80% of your time to current commitments and responsibilities, and reserve 20% for curiosity, experimentation, and play—without blowing up your life.Optimize for Peace, Not Scale. More revenue isn't always worth the hidden cost. A Double Win means there's still room for what makes you feel most alive.ResourcesSmart Passive Income (Pat's Business)Superfans (Book)Lean Learning (Book)Watch on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/aLp6hHTrYQsThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound
"Everything will seem like a world-ending crisis if we don't know what has/hasn't happened before. If it has happened before, it's can be hugely comforting to know how it was resolved and/or what might happen next." - Cindy OtisToo much negativity leads to complacency, the inability to act, adopting a crisis perspective, depression, and PTSD. So we need to avoid overindulgence, accept your limits, set boundaries, take action where you can, be reasonable with yourself, pick ONE thing at a time, take some sort of action, and stop putting so much pressure on yourself to solve everything at once.

New details about the dogsitter Dr. Naomi hired have emerged, and she and Jordana dissect all the information to try and paint a picture of the woman who stayed in Dr. Naomi's house for a few days. A corporate Betch is feeling burned by a work friend after learning about her departure from a company-wide email, and she wonders if it's worth maintaining the friendship. Seeking some validation, a listener who is quickly falling hard for her new partner wonders if his insistence on only saying “I love you” means he isn't “in love” with her. After multiple layoffs and constant anxiety about their ever restructuring new company, a woman seeks an intention for calming the fearful thoughts that arise every time there is an organizational change. This week's triggers involve a woman who is hurt that her friend keeps dodging her attempts to see her baby, while another listener, who is trying to get pregnant, is offended after her father drunkenly asks if he can spot a baby bump.

Les footballeurs parlent aux footballeurs ! « Rothen s'enflamme », le rendez-vous des passionnés du ballon rond revient pour une deuxième saison !
If you've been dealing with constant dizziness and brain fog and you can't figure out why you feel off, spacey, or not fully in your body, this episode is for you. Dizziness and brain fog are not just random symptoms or signs of aging – they're often your brain's way of screaming that your balance system is overloaded and undertrained. Constant dizziness and brain fog can also quietly wreck your focus, drain your energy, spike your anxiety, and sabotage how you show up at work, in the gym, and in your relationships. In this episode, you'll learn why what feels like a “mind problem” is often actually a balance problem – and how to start changing it from the ground up.Human Performance Specialist Caydrick Bloomquist breaks down the hidden role of your brain's balance network in mood, focus, stress, and sleep, and why most guys never get taught how to train it on purpose. Caydrick's work in Neuro-Functional Training and Mental Fitness shows that when you start working directly with your balance and awareness systems, you can shift how you feel faster and more powerfully than just trying to “think positive” or meditate harder. Instead of floating through your day half-present and half-dissociated, you learn how to get back in your body, stabilize your system, and actually feel like yourself again.You'll hear how balance drills and vestibular-focused work – including spinning, head movements, and targeted visual-vestibular exercises – can literally help rewire your brain. These inputs tell your nervous system, “You're safe and in control,” which can calm anxiety, clear brain fog, and reduce that ongoing dizzy, floaty feeling in a way that sitting still often can't touch. If meditation has felt too slow or frustrating for you, this conversation gives you a more active, body-based way to train awareness, presence, and emotional regulation.We also explore why your balance system is really your awareness system – constantly feeding your brain information about where you are in space. When that system is off, your brain feels unsafe and ramps up symptoms like dizziness, weird vision, brain fog, irritability, and emotional overreactions. When you tune this system up, you don't just stand steadier; you think clearer, react calmer, and sleep deeper because your brain finally trusts your body again.If you're a man who's tired of living with constant dizziness and brain fog, feeling like your brain is always half a second behind, this episode gives you a new map for what's actually going on – and a path forward. You'll walk away with a new understanding of why you feel the way you feel, plus practical ideas and a fresh respect for the “hidden hardware” driving your mood, focus, and performance.Hosted on Ausha.

Brian From reflects on the emotional rollercoaster of sports fandom, Time Magazine’s Person of the Year, and why dark chocolate might help you live longer—even if he refuses to eat it. He explores the deeper spiritual challenge of Christmas: not consumerism or secularism, but our own boredom with the most astonishing story ever told. The episode closes with a sobering look at the Michigan football scandal as a reminder that sin always destroys—and the gospel always restores.

Mark Clifton and Mark Hallock talk honestly about why many pastors' kids (PKs) struggle spiritually or walk away from the faith, using Chuck Lawless's article, “10 Reasons Preacher's Kids Strayed,” as a starting point. If you're a pastor, ministry leader, or parent in church leadership, this episode will help you better understand the unique pressures pastors' kids face and how to care for their hearts with wisdom and grace. In this episode, they unpack 10 reasons pastors' kids stray from the church or from faith: 1. They weren't (and aren't) perfect. PKs often feel pressure to be the “ideal Christian kid.” Constant expectations and scrutiny can lead to burnout, resentment, or hidden struggles. 2. The church told them how to live, but didn't personally walk with them. They heard the rules and standards but lacked discipleship, mentoring, and real-life guidance. 3. They didn't know what to do when their pastor-parent seemed too busy. Ministry can crowd out family time, leaving kids feeling overlooked or unimportant. 4. They kept their struggles to themselves. Fear of judgment or hurting their parents' reputation can keep PKs silent about doubts and sin. 5. They felt overwhelmed by temptation and didn't know how to respond. Without safe, honest conversations about sin, grace, and repentance, temptation can isolate them. 6. They weren't actually saved yet. Growing up in a ministry home doesn't guarantee genuine conversion or a personal relationship with Christ. 7. They wanted to experiment. Curiosity, peer pressure, or a desire for independence can lead them to test boundaries and pursue the world. 8. They were rebelling against the church. Hurts, hypocrisy, or church conflict can cause PKs to push back against the church and its expectations. 9. They saw too much of the “underbelly” of church life. Witnessing criticism, conflict, betrayal, or gossip about their parents can deeply wound pastors' kids. 10. They followed the lead of their church friends. The influence of peers—whether spiritually apathetic or openly rebellious—can pull PKs away from the Lord. This episode offers pastoral wisdom and practical ideas for: Protecting and shepherding your own kids as a pastor Creating a church culture that cares well for pastors' families Helping pastors' kids process church hurt, doubt, and disappointment Resources Mentioned in This Episode: “10 Reasons Preacher's Kids Strayed” by Chuck Lawless “How does a pastor respond to: ‘When is my child ready for baptism?'” by Mark Hallock Listen in for a thoughtful conversation on pastors' kids, church hurt, and helping PKs follow Jesus with authentic, lasting faith.
Soraya grew up dancing, then lost herself in motherhood. Four kids, a demanding job, and years of putting herself last. When she finally tried to come back to fitness, she started jogging because it felt simple. But her joints hurt, her blood pressure was high, her clothes fit tighter every year, and she kept hiding in oversized layers. She was jogging and even did races, but nothing about her body was changing.When she started structured strength training with me in March, everything shifted. She went from a size 16 to slipping out of her 14s. Her waist started showing again, her posture improved, her glutes lifted and her blood pressure normalized! And she's wearing fitted clothes, even crop tops because the changes are visible.In this conversation, we talk about:the moment she realized cardio wasn't shaping her bodyhow lifting lowered her blood pressure when running didn'tthe confidence shift that showed up in her closet and her homethe boundaries she created as a mom to train consistentlyletting go of the “bulky” fear and inspiring her own mom to start liftingIf you're already working out and not seeing the results you expect, Soraya's story will make it clear: effort isn't the problem- strategy is.Book your Training AuditIf you train consistently but your body isn't changing the way you want, book a Training Program Audit.

From 10 years lost to heroin and OxyContin to 15 years clean and helping millions navigate their own mental health journeys, Mike's story is one of brutal honesty and hard-won wisdom. He opens up about recognizing anxiety as a teenager, the probation officer who saved his life, and why the path to healing isn't always a straight line. Whether you're battling anxiety, supporting someone through addiction, or just trying to show up for yourself every day, Mike's no-BS approach will remind you that you have something, and you're still here for a reason.How do you rebuild your life after losing everything to addiction, and learn that taking care of yourself isn't selfish—it's survival?Going back to basics proves that healing doesn't require perfection.

In this episode, Michael McIntyre unpacks the sneaky way we've become hooked on crisis—constantly checking headlines, market moves, and social feeds like our peace depends on it. He breaks down how the 24/7 bad-news cycle rewires your brain for fear, hijacks your money decisions, and quietly drains the life out of your closest relationships. You'll learn how to spot “crisis addiction” in your own habits, why it's nearly impossible to build wealth or intimacy from a place of panic, and simple, powerful steps to reset your nervous system, reclaim peace in your home, and start making decisions from clarity instead of chaos.
Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. The previous episode, "The Constant," is a hard act to follow, and this one isn't really up to the job. It's best to look at it as an info dump to get us an inch or two closer to what we need to know. Sorry, Juliet, we know it's hard to be an Other! Mentioned: The Hoberman Sphere (the toy Terri likened to the ever-expanding romantic tanglements among the castaways and island-dwellers).Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 4, episode 7, "Ji Yeon." Tomorrow, we'll continue our discussion of a newer show, The Lowdown.This episode was recorded in front of a live audience ... of dogs.
Moins connue que la ménopause, l'andropause est une période au cours de laquelle la sécrétion de testostérone diminue chez l'homme. Baisse de la libido, fatigue, augmentation du risque cardiovasculaire, irritabilité, augmentation du tour de taille… Les symptômes de l'andropause sont nombreux. Contrairement à la ménopause qui touche toutes les femmes, l'andropause n'affecte qu'une faible proportion d'hommes âgés. Comment se fait le diagnostic ? Quelle prise en charge existe ? Si, du côté des femmes, les effets et ressentis associés à la ménopause sont abordés plus ouvertement qu'il y a quelques années, chez les hommes, l'andropause reste encore largement méconnue et rarement évoquée publiquement. Pourtant, les changements hormonaux liés au vieillissement impliquent un certain nombre de conséquences pour la santé et le bien-être des hommes. La baisse du taux de testostérone peut entraîner de multiples symptômes. Andropause : ménopause au masculin ? Certains spécialistes (urologue, endocrinologue, andrologue...) peuvent orienter le patient vers des analyses pour évaluer le taux de testostérone sanguin. La chute des androgènes peut provoquer une série de symptômes tels que des troubles de la fonction érectile, une baisse de la libido, une prise de poids, des troubles de l'humeur et du sommeil… Alors si certains symptômes se retrouvent chez l'homme et la femme, passé un certain âge, ménopause et andropause se distinguent par un simple fait : son caractère systématique chez la femme, autour de la cinquantaine (avec l'arrêt des règles, qui annonce la fin de la fonction reproductrice), quand, chez l'homme, ce déficit d'hormones sexuelles mâles lié à l'âge n'est pas systématique. En finir avec le non-dit La prise en charge de l'andropause repose sur des mesures hygiéno-diététiques : activité physique, alimentation équilibrée, baisse de la consommation d'alcool... Pour certains hommes, une supplémentation en testostérone pourra être prescrite, associée à un suivi médical. D'où l'importance de dépasser le tabou : oser en parler, pour trouver, si besoin, des solutions auprès d'un spécialiste.

The Love, Happiness and Success Podcast With Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby
If overwhelm has become your constant companion - the thing you wake up with, carry through your day, and fall asleep thinking about - your well-being is trying to tell you something. In this episode, we're unpacking why happiness can feel so far away when stress keeps running the show, and how you can manage what's on your plate without sacrificing yourself in the process. If you're longing to feel happier, love yourself more deeply, and finally declutter the parts of your life that feel too heavy, you are absolutely in the right place! My guest, author and Afro-minimalist Christine Platt (Less Is Liberation: Finding Freedom From a Life of Overwhelm), shares how her “normal” busy life quietly turned into a health crisis, and how she began seeing overwhelm as her body's way of saying, Hey, one of your wells is empty. We talk about the five foundations of wellness (your “personal wells”), the emotional labor and mental load so many women carry, and how learning to declutter your stuff, your schedule, and your beliefs can help you manage stress more wisely and reconnect with a sense of happiness in your daily life. We also get into the messy real-world pieces: overwhelm by circumstance (divorce, money, kids, career), people-pleasing, the guilt around saying no, and why so many of us overbuy and hang onto clutter “just in case.” As you listen, notice: Which of your wells has been running low? What are you still trying to prove by doing so much? And what would “less” need to look like for your life to feel more like your life again?

Schedule a consultation today! You deserve a life that feels lighter and more intentional, where you can manage stress wisely, feel happier in your day-to-day reality, and genuinely love yourself in how you care for your time, your space, and your emotional well-being.

Delight Your Marriage | Relationship Advice, Christianity, & Sexual Intimacy
What Turns Her Off — and What Godly Husbands Do Instead Have you ever wished you could just…get inside your wife's heart for a moment? Not to manipulate, but to genuinely understand her. To love her in a way that makes her feel safe and wanted—not pressured or confused. My husband Darrow and I sat down to talk through something men rarely get honest insight about: Her biggest turn-offs. And not because we want to shame or scold—but because clarity brings freedom. When you finally understand what shuts her down, you also discover what opens her heart. So take a deep breath.You're not in trouble.You're learning—and that already makes you a good man. Let's walk through these turn-offs together, with God's kindness leading us all the way. 1. When Affection Feels Like a Transaction One of the most common complaints I hear from wives is this: "Every time he does something sweet, it feels like he's trying to get sex." A back rub, a coffee, a hand on her waist, a date night—beautiful gestures—become tainted when she senses they come with an expectation. When affection is only a bridge to the bedroom, she feels: Used Not loved for who she is Like her worth is tied to her sexual availability God never intended marital intimacy to be a negotiation.Love her without a scoreboard. Bless her without an agenda. 2. Grabbing, Pinching, or Smacking Her Body When She's Not Comfortable Yes…wives talk about this. And I know many husbands mean it playfully.But if she doesn't feel safe—emotionally, spiritually, or physically—this kind of touch feels like entitlement, not affection. Her body is not something to be "snatched."She needs room to open, not pressure to surrender. When she feels cherished—not grabbed—she wants to share her body freely. 3. Taking "Not Now" Personally If she says she's tired, overwhelmed, stressed, or simply "not right now," it's almost never about you. But when a husband interprets it as: Rejection Lack of desire "She doesn't love me" …it puts enormous emotional weight on her shoulders. Instead, respond with: "No worries, sweetheart. Another time would be wonderful." That confidence and peace will draw her toward you—not away. 4. Moping After She Says No Emotional sulking is not harmless. Moping communicates: "You disappointed me." "Now I have to punish you with sadness." "You're responsible for my emotions." This shuts her heart down.Fast. Your steadiness and joy—even when she's not available—makes her feel safe. And safety is the soil where desire grows. 5. Punishing Her for Not Wanting Sex This is one of the deepest wounds wives carry. Punishments include: Silent treatment Withholding affection Moving to another room Being cold or distant Only being "nice" when you want intimacy These behaviors feel manipulative and honestly frightening. Your wife is not the enemy. She is the assignment God entrusted to you. Lead with love, not consequences. 6. Lack of Playfulness Playfulness is essential to intimacy. If everything feels heavy, serious, structured, pressured…then her nervous system never relaxes enough to enjoy being sensual. Silliness is holy ground for a woman's heart. Laughter lowers her guard.Playfulness creates connection. If you want her to be playful in the bedroom, she needs to experience playfulness outside the bedroom. 7. Not Feeling Emotionally Safe Women cannot separate emotional connection from physical intimacy. I'll say that one more time. Women cannot separate emotional connection from physical intimacy. When she feels emotionally unsafe, her body shuts down. Emotional Safety looks like: Listening Compassion Being slow to speak and quick to understand Responding gently Supporting her heart, not "fixing" immediately When she feels heard, she opens. 8. Being a "Negative Nellie" (or Negative Ned!) Constant complaining is exhausting and not attractive. It pulls the atmosphere of the home downward and makes her feel like she has to carry your emotional weight. There is space to process hard things—but constant negativity drains the joy God wants in your marriage. Rejoice. Notice blessings. Bring hope into the home. 9. Bitterness and Resentment Long-term resentment is a marriage-killer. Bitterness communicates: "I haven't forgiven you." "You owe me." "I'm still keeping score." This is the opposite of Christlike love. Your wife cannot relax into intimacy with a man who holds her mistakes over her head. Forgiveness clears the ground for closeness to grow again. And if you need a little extra inspiration, let us turn you to Matthew 6:15 (NIV): "But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." 10. Being Too Serious All the Time Intensity has a place—but not every moment. When a man is always stern, rigid, perfectionistic, spiritual-but-heavy…it makes her feel like she can never fully exhale. If she can't be herself around you, she won't be vulnerable with you. Joy is a fruit of the Spirit—not an optional extra. 11. Using Slang or Sexual Words She Doesn't Like Words matter. Some husbands use slang affectionately or playfully.Some wives love it.Others absolutely don't. If slang or sexual language makes her uncomfortable, embarrassed, or unsafe, it becomes a turn-off—not a turn-on. Honor her preferences. You're not losing freedom—you're gaining connection. Final Thoughts: So What Do You Do with All This? If reading this stirs conviction…good. Conviction is not condemnation.The enemy heaps shame.God invites repentance—and repentance leads to freedom. Your wife is God's daughter. And He entrusted her to you. Every shift you make toward loving her well brings you closer to His heart and closer to hers. We're rooting for you!

I also told her about our [IPT] program that same day. Up until then, I had said I was attending a men's bible study. All praise be to God."
Message us here!Ever feel a conversation snap from “let's talk” to “we're yelling” in seconds? When you find yourself butting heads with someone over a "sensitive" topic, it can seem impossible to get on the same page. In this episode, I unpack a research-backed way to dissolve stalemates and actually influence change without steamrolling the person you love. The trick isn't the perfect comeback: it's validation, or "tactical empathy."I talk about the clinical science behind validation that reveals why it's so powerful biologically. Then I talk through practical steps for using validation to go from talking AT each other to talking TO each other. These strategies lowers defensiveness, overwhelm, and hostility. Then, I walk through everyday examples (from talking about drinking and mental health to bedtime battles with a stubborn toddler)and show how to pivot from adversaries to teammates facing the same problem.I also cover what to do when someone shuts down entirely, how to validate the wall itself, and why this approach is especially powerful with sadness and shame. If you've been stuck in circular fights, these tools can open a path to collaboration, progress, and a little peace at home.Support the showIf you're navigating someone's mental health or emotional issues, join KulaMind, our community and support platform.

The Silent Signs of Survival Mode: Why You're Drained Feeling exhausted, unfocused, or emotionally overwhelmed, even though you're still performing? You may be in survival mode at work without realizing it. That's where so many leaders are right now. On the outside, you're delivering. You're holding everything together. But inside? There's this quiet whisper: "I can't keep doing this." For so many high-achieving leaders, the challenge isn't a lack of capability. It's that your nervous system is stuck in protective mode. Constant change, uncertainty, restructures, and the weight of responsibility have all pushed your system into a place it was never designed to live. In this episode, Blake breaks down the signs you're stuck in survival mode. She explains why responsible leaders are most at risk and what it really takes to reclaim your clarity and energy. If you've ever wondered why rest doesn't fix the problem or why everything feels heavier than it should, this conversation is for you. Episode Highlights What Survival Mode Really Looks Like [01:45] - Why it doesn't look dramatic [02:20] - The functional version most leaders miss [02:50] - Signs you're stuck in survival mode Why Strong, Capable Leaders Get Trapped Here [05:45] - How strengths become coping strategies [06:15] - The nervous system's learned patterns [06:50] - The pressure-performance cycle that keeps you on edge The Deeper Root: Lifelong Patterns of Survival [07:30] - Early wiring and identity [08:10] - How your body keeps trying to protect you [08:45] - The real reason rest doesn't fix the problem The Hope: What's Possible When You Shift Out of Survival Mode [09:25] - More clarity, energy, and creativity [09:55] - Returning to presence and confidence [10:20] - Why transformation can be faster than you think Powerful Quotes "You're not broken, and nothing about you has ever been the problem." -Blake Schofield "Survival mode isn't dramatic. It looks functional—until you realize you don't feel like you anymore." -Blake Schofield "If you've been operating in some version of survival mode for most of your life, you have no idea how much more capability, clarity, energy, creativity, and confidence are actually available to you." -Blake Schofield Resources Mentioned Take the Burnout Type™ Quiz Discover your unique burnout pattern so you can finally solve the real issue.

There are financial opportunities in Latin America, silver and more and today we are going to share them with you! We also talk holiday shopping trends and the struggles of retailers in our current economy. We also dive into "confuse-opoly" industries like furniture, mattresses, and healthcare where pricing is intentionally opaque, share personal experiences with overpriced goods, and discuss how margins, supply, and consumer behavior shape retail dynamics. Today we discuss... Buying a new house and becoming newly attentive to pricing, noting how Black Friday sales have expanded so much that they no longer feel special. How holiday traditions and retail behavior have shifted, with Christmas decorations and sales appearing earlier each year. How perpetual discounts dilute the meaning of sales and reflect retailers' struggles in a weakening, K-shaped economy. Constant "sale" pricing makes it impossible for consumers to know real value, especially in industries like furniture. We share anecdotes about mattress shopping and how identical products are given different names across stores to prevent direct price comparisons. Market charts prompt discussion on growth vs. value investing, highlighting value's long-term underperformance and its historical cyclicality. We compare current market dynamics to the late 1990s tech bubble, noting similarities in speculation and skepticism toward value investing. Latin America's unusually low valuations and strong relative performance this year are examined as a potential opportunity. Emerging markets often struggle with consistency due to currency issues, political instability, and uneven economic development. We emphasize the importance of evaluating assets in relative terms—stocks vs. dollars, gold vs. currencies, and region vs. region. How relative performance charts reveal where capital is flowing, using gold, silver, and mining stocks as examples of cycle progression. Copper miners' potential breakout is highlighted as a key signal for commodity sector strength. Markets ultimately reflect where limited investor capital is being allocated at any given moment.

McKay examines the modern epidemic that is silently reshaping our brains - "Switching and Scrolling" - drawing a powerful parallel between the rise of physical obesity and the growing crisis of fractured attention. He argues that our addiction to the shallows of digital consumption is not just a productivity loss, but a thief of our peace, creativity, and deep connection.Navigating the science of attention, McKay cites Johann Hari's Stolen Focus and a Hewlett-Packard study revealing that digital distraction drops IQ twice as much as cannabis use. He shares the "phantom vibrations" felt by campers at a device-free retreat and the success of San Mateo High School's magnetic phone pouches to illustrate how environment dictates focus. The episode concludes with practical strategies - from "unplugged nights" to the Boston Consulting Group's "predictable time off" - encouraging listeners to reclaim their minds from the attention economy.Main Themes:"Switch and Scroll" is a cumulative epidemic, mirroring the long-term costs of obesity.Multitasking forces the brain into superficial processing, blocking deep learning.The three costs of switching: slower speed, increased errors, and drained creativity.Constant micro-interruptions trigger physiological stress and background anxiety."Attention Theft" uses behavioral psychology to hijack focus without consent.Focus is an environmental condition that must be intentionally designed and protected.Top 10 Quotes:"When we multitask, we operate in the shallow end of the pool, thinking and processing at a very superficial level.""Where do new thoughts and innovation come from? They come from your brain shaping new connections out of what you've seen and heard and learned.""I didn't realize how flat my attention had become until it expanded again.""Attention now has economic value... The more attention they get, the more money they make.""Switching destabilizes identity, it fragments memory, it disrupts coherence, and over time, it can reshape who we think we are.""Focus is not just an individual skill; it's an environmental condition that can be designed and protected.""Most people learn focus by doing something that's either very important or very interesting to them.""You may not be able to change the trends of obesity in our society, but you can change them in your own life and home."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen
