Light is something we encounter every day, so familiar that it rarely inspires a second thought. Yet beneath its apparent simplicity lies a remarkable complexity. Light can carry information in its brightness and color, but also in its polarization and phase, subtle properties that describe how its waves oscillate and interact. For decades, these hidden dimensions of light have remained largely untapped in medicine. Now, a growing body of research is beginning to reveal their extraordinary potential.

Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner – Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics for living a healthy life Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Title: Digestive Enzymes, Gut Health, and Omega-3's with Guest Brenda Watson [0:00:00] Show Intro,  National Club Foot Day & Prior Episode Reference Ed mentions National Club Foot Day (previous Wednesday). References a prior Vital Health Radio episode where he strongly criticized a local Chattanooga physician for poor club foot care that nearly harmed his grandson. Ed urges: Anyone with a child/grandchild with club foot seeing providers in Chattanooga  listen to our Feb 15th (2026) episode Contact: NutritionWorld@comcast.net to get details of that show and the physician referenced. Emphasis on truth, empowerment, and avoiding harm from medical “inefficiency and ignorance.” [0:03:58] Delta-8 Gummies, Anxiety/Sleep & Lifespan Extension Concepts Recap of a recent show with Hemp House. Ed explains: Only about three weeks left to legally purchase Delta-8 gummies at Hemp House or Nutrition World. Why someone might use Delta-8: Anxiety Trouble sleeping Need to stay functional but calmer Must find the right dose individually (no standard dosing). Safer than many anti-anxiety drugs when used properly. He is saving several containers in his freezer for future “bumps in the road” (periods of poor sleep or high stress). Notes dogs may benefit for anxiety, thunder phobia, pain, etc., when used correctly and from a trusted company. Ed recommends Dr. David Sinclair's “Lifespan” podcast: Focus on practical drugs, supplements, and lifestyle strategies to extend lifespan. Central concept: cellular repair – if we repaired cells at 50 as well as at 20, lifespan could drastically increase. Key tools Dr. Sinclair highlights (as relayed by Ed): Rapamycin – Ed takes this drug himself; impacts mTOR; can extend lifespan even when started later in life. AMPK activators – sold at Nutrition World; support clearing out old/dysfunctional cells. Resveratrol – mimics some effects of fasting. Hyperbaric oxygen – discussed as a potential lifespan extender. Ed shares Sinclair's animal-longevity illustrations: A mole rat living ~20x longer than regular rats → proves there are mechanisms of extended lifespan. A long-lived whale (Clint jokes and riffs on the name) said to reach ~200 years, suggesting humans might mimic similar mechanisms. [0:08:46] Call for Listener Stories & Introduction of Guest Brenda Watson Ed invites listeners to share personal health recovery stories, especially involving “the Green Pharmacy” (natural, nutritional, and lifestyle approaches, including Nutrition World support). Announced collaboration with Clint Powell on a new podcast: Short, credible motivational/educational stories (5–20 minutes). Focus: “I was in bad shape, now I'm much better” recovery narratives. Participants receive a $50 Nutrition World gift card. Recordings at a studio ~5 minutes from Nutrition World. Introduction of guest Brenda Watson, founder of Vital Planet. Described as a guru of gut health and the microbiome: Leaky gut, SIBO, broad digestive health expertise. Ed recalls her long-running NPR fund-raiser specials on gut health that reached tens of thousands. [0:13:25] Digestive Enzymes, Gut Health & Problems with Acid Blockers Topic: What is an enzyme? Why does it matter? Brenda's explanation: Enzymes “break things apart”: Protease → breaks proteins into amino acids. Amylase → breaks starches into glucose. Lipase → breaks fats into fatty acids. Ideally, stomach, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder work together to digest food into absorbable units. Early digestive symptoms: Heartburn, gas, bloating, etc. Many people self-treat with OTC antacids or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and this often worsens underlying issues. Her main point: For early digestive symptoms, start with a full-spectrum digestive enzyme (protease, amylase, lipase) with meals, not acid-blocking drugs. As we age, natural digestion weakens, compounded by poor food quality. If food is not properly digested: It rots in the gut → gas, overgrowth of “bad bugs”. Contributes to SIBO, leaky gut, and broader dysbiosis. Leads to poor absorption of nutrients and worsening health. Enzymes as Step One: Should be a first-line intervention alongside or even before probiotics. Emphasizes that digestive enzymes for digestion must be taken with meals. Brenda notes she ran a stool test program with 12 people; often saw imbalanced gut bacteria driven by undigested food. Modern enzyme formulations can be more targeted: Gluten-support enzymes. General high-potency formulas. Formulas for dairy and fat, especially for people on keto who need extra fat-digesting support. She reiterates: Poor digestion = bad bacteria, leaky gut, SIBO, multiple gut issues. Digestive enzymes are a “no-brainer” first step when digestive symptoms appear. [0:23:47] Enzymes as a Foundational Strategy & Aging, Pancreas/Bile Physiology Emphasizes: Rotting food analogy: leftover food in a trash can on a 97°F day = what undigested food can be like inside the gut. Even without symptoms, after age ~40–45, enzymes may be wise especially for people who: Overeat Eat a lot of dairy or gluten Notes loose stools and general poor health can be caused by lack of pancreatic enzymes. Shares a case where a client's stool test showed zero pancreatic enzyme production, correlating with constant sickness. You can “get away with” some other health issues, but you cannot have a dysfunctional digestive tract and still expect even average health. Brenda further explains physiology and pH: Stomach should be very acidic (pH ~2) during digestion. When partly digested food moves into the small intestine: Bicarbonate is released to neutralize acid. Pancreas releases enzymes (protease, amylase, lipase). Liver/gallbladder release bile for fat digestion near the same region. If stomach acid is suppressed, the chain reaction is disrupted: Poor enzyme activation. Poor bile function. pH shifts can foster candida and other imbalances (e.g., colon getting too alkaline). She underscores: From mouth to colon, each region needs appropriate pH. Chronic use of acid blockers has long-term downstream consequences. Ed mentions a simple at-home baking soda test to roughly gauge stomach acid (baking soda in water between meals, watching for burping). Important caution: If you're on acid-blocking medications, you must wean off slowly; do not stop abruptly. Nutrition World's pharmacist, Dr. Curt Dearing, helps people step down from PPIs and H2 blockers safely (in partnership with their physicians). [0:30:58] Omega-3s , Purity, and Heart/Brain Health Ed highlights Vital Omega (Vital Planet): #1 selling product at Nutrition World. Exceptional purity and transparency (heavy emphasis on contaminant-free sourcing). Very high potency (2350 mg of EPA/DHA per serving). No “fish burp” complaints and virtually no returns. Contains lipase enzyme to support fat digestion and further reduce digestive discomfort. Omega blood tests on customers show high omega-3 levels when using this brand. Brenda agrees: Omega-3s are critical at any age, especially in today's toxic environment. You might skip a multivitamin, but you should not skip omega-3s. Ed's additional points: Olive oil and flax oil are not the same as concentrated EPA/DHA. EPA/DHA are essential for cell membranes, cardiovascular health, and cognitive function. Warns of contaminated fish oil from polluted waters (mercury, heavy metals, etc.). Website plug for Vital Planet: VitalPlanet.com for education, and product details. Ed reiterates his respect for Brenda's decades of ethical, passionate work and says they'll have her back on again.   [0:38:54] Lifestyle, Local Food, Pillows, and Environmental Toxins Ed and Clint return; Ed summarizes the show's philosophy: Better aging is about strength, clarity, mobility, energy, not just added years. Introduces term “peak span”, maximizing the years we're at peak function, not just lifespan. Critiques normalization of poor health (hunched posture, chronic pain, poor sleep, anxiety) as “just getting old.” Local food talk: Discussion of Tallow House in Cleveland (burger restaurant, cousin of Tony from Portofino). Two-hour waits, excellent reviews, smash burgers, buns from Neidlovs bakery. Dust mites and pillows: Ed cites data that about 1/3 of a pillow can be dead skin + dust mites over time. Many pillows also contain fire retardant chemicals leading to chronic exposure while sleeping. Ed searched for non-toxic pillows via Mamavation: A site that tests products for chemical residues and rates them. His previous pillow (from Avocado) came out top-rated, so he bought a new Avocado pillow. Recommends buying via Mammovation's affiliate link for a small discount. [0:44:00] Essential Oils, Green Pharmacy & Polypharmacy Ed on essential oils quality: A test of 20 lavender oils from Amazon found: Only 3 were pure. 17 were diluted/contaminated with other oils. Smell alone isn't a reliable indicator of quality. Nutrition World only carries brands with Certificates of Analysis; dropped an entire line a few years back over quality concerns. Ed shares a Taiwanese blood pressure study: 58 adults with high blood pressure, many on meds. wore a face mask with a cotton pad containing small amounts of real lavender oil for 15 minutes/day over 7 days. Result: systolic blood pressure reduced by ~10 points. A placebo (fake) oil did not reduce blood pressure. One-day use showed no benefit – consistent use was required. He frames this as an example of the “Green Pharmacy”: Mentions Dr. Curt Dearing (pharmacist at Nutrition World): Helps people review and rationalize medication lists, with the goal of reducing polypharmacy in collaboration with prescribing doctors. References a recent Vital Health Radio episode on polypharmacy (average American takes ~17 prescriptions per year). [0:56:48] Meditation, Mindset, Ancient Wisdom & Fulfillment Story from the Daily Stoic: Kurt Vonnegut and Joseph Heller at a billionaire's party: Vonnegut points out the host made more money yesterday than Heller's Catch-22 ever did. Heller replies he has something the billionaire never will: “the knowledge that I've got enough.” Ed uses this to emphasize: The power of knowing you have enough. Shifting from chasing money to working for fulfillment once basics are covered. Clint adds: You must learn to be content with what you have while still pursuing goals. More stuff doesn't automatically create a content person. Ed reads a longer reflection on “ancient wisdom” vs. modern medicine: Fundamental philosophy: alignment with nature. Humans thrived for millennia without pharmaceuticals (acknowledges infectious disease issues before hygiene and antibiotics). Nearly every drug has unintended consequences and rarely treats root causes. Cites estimate: medical errors as the 3rd leading cause of death in the US (~250,000 deaths/year). Notes ~90% of American calories now come from processed foods and seed oils Argues seed oils are among the most destructive components of the modern diet. Many cardiologists still recommend them as heart-healthy, highlighting the conflict between mainstream and holistic views. Plug for Ed's book: “Are You Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired” available at TheHolisticNavigator.com, built around ancient wisdom.  The post Radio Show / Podcast – June 7, 2026 first appeared on Vital Health Radio.

Regional airline Air Chathams has made the decision to cancel their Auckland to Kapiti route with CEO Duane Emeny contributing the axing to major fuel costs. Emeny sad it is costing the company an additional $1500 per return flight from Auckland to Paraparaumu just for fuel, on average an extra seven paying passengers. "That's definitely caused the tipping point," he told Andrew Dickens. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pictured at the launch of the report, "Digital Infrastructure for the Future We Want", were Darren Maher, Managing Partner, Matheson LLP, Jim Power, Amárach Research, Minister of State Timmy Dooley, Michelle Wallace, Interim CEO, Digital Infrastructure Ireland and Maurice Mortell, Chairperson, Digital Infrastructure Ireland. An economic study on the data centre industry has revealed the critical role the centres play in Irish corporate tax windfalls and in the €107.5 billion in taxes paid here by the ICT industry. The study by economist Jim Power and statistician Gerard O Neill from Amárach Research has also sounded a warning bell that the ongoing limitations on the development of datacentres are now posing a considerable risk to Ireland's attractiveness as a location for foreign direct investment. Speaking at the launch of the report, Minister of State at the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment, Timmy Dooley, said: "Ireland's data centre ecosystem is and will continue to be a critical driver of national economic performance, underpinning high?value sectors, foreign direct investment, digital competitiveness, operational resilience, and export growth, while supporting tens of thousands of jobs." Maurice Mortell, Chairperson of Digital Infrastructure Ireland added: "Ireland has a long history of attracting investment and has positioned itself as one of Europe's leading locations for digital infrastructure. Sustaining Ireland's taxes and its role as a leading investment hub requires a National Digital Strategy that integrates digital infrastructure, energy, planning and industrial policy to support long term competitiveness. The Government's announcements must now translate into tangible actions. With a renewed approach, Ireland can lead the next generation in developing sustainable, high performance digital infrastructure – but delivery is essential. The reality is that considerable taxation is paid where IP assets are located and this has been instrumental to the strong growth in corporation tax revenues since 2015. The risk is that if data centres are going to be built in other locations, because they cannot be built in Ireland, the IP assets could follow the data centres, with very negative implications for Irish corporation tax revenues. Ireland is losing business and global companies are moving their investment pipelines elsewhere." The study, "Digital Infrastructure for the Future We Want", says there has been €18 billion in investment from Ireland's data centre ecosystem, spanning across 105 facilities and 35 operators. It finds that the economic significance of data centres is greater than the direct employment they create and the vital element of critical infrastructure that they provide. "Data centres are essential for the Government's AI and digital strategy, the modernisation of the public sector and the indigenous business economy," the report notes. "Ireland has a high dependence on foreign-owned companies in terms of employment, corporation and income tax receipts, and general economic activity. Given this high level of 'concentration risk' there is considerable pressure on Ireland to preserve its status as a good country in which to do business. That is now under considerable pressure," the authors say. The report highlights that a lot of global intellectual property is stored in Ireland and is a major contributor to tax revenues. "Many of the largest corporations in Ireland are in high-tech industries like pharmaceuticals or information technology that rely heavily on IP. Unlike a building or a machine, it is very easy to move Intellectual Property into or out of a country. There is a lot of Intellectual Property held in Ireland. Some of it has been produced here, while much is imported between different arms of the same multinational corporation." "The location of IP in Ireland makes a significant contribution to exports of goods and services from Ireland. In 2024, exports of computer services...

LA VERNIA — Preliminary investigation has led the La Vernia Police Department to cite wet road conditions as the reason for a rollover accident last Wednesday morning involving an armored vehicle. The accident occurred as thunderstorms rolled through the area in the wake of overnight storms. According to La Vernia police Sgt.

Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner of Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics all related to living a healthy life Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Title: Impact of Tennessee Hemp Bill, Discussion of Polypharmacy & Deprescribing  with Dr. Curt Dearing [0:00:00] Ed's Media & Product Updates Preview of main topics: Upcoming Tennessee hemp bill and its negative impact on people using hemp for anxiety, pain, and insomnia. Dr. Curt Deering will discuss polypharmacy and deprescribing. Ed's recent appearances on multiple TV outlets (Fox Phoenix & LA, Be Well NY, CBS Detroit). Discussion of testing the AquaTru water filtration system at home as a potential recommendation (microplastics, partial fluoride removal). Mention that peptides are a growing topic; reference to Noel Lawson as go‑to for prescribed peptides [0:10:42]  Tennessee Hemp Bill & Hemp Industry Impact Introduces guest: Dwayne Madden, owner of Hemp House, as a respected local expert. As of July 1 in Tennessee: All Delta‑8 products will no longer be available for in‑state sale. Many THCA products and all vape products will be gone from shops. CBD and Delta‑9 edibles will have caps: Max 15 mg per serving. Max 300 mg per package. Dwayne notes: Heavy users (e.g., serious pain/conditions) will need to consume many servings to reach effective doses. Law doesn't limit how many packages a person can buy, so total milligrams aren't truly stopped—just made inconvenient. Dwayne explains regulatory control moved: From Tennessee Department of Agriculture (2017–2023) To the ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Commission) Board. Key impacts: All products must now go through distributors, similar to alcohol. Distributors collect taxes and sit between producers and retailers. Small operators like Dwayne cannot qualify for distributor licenses , so he must pay a distributor to move product from his own lab to his own stores. Ed frames this as “follow the money trail” and a way to crush competition. In Tennessee after July 1: No in‑state online hemp sales. Banned products (Delta‑8, etc.) not criminalized for possession or use, only for sale. Potential Workaround: Consumers can order from out‑of‑state websites (e.g., North Carolina), receive products in Tennessee Money leaves the local economy, hurting Tennessee businesses. Ed and Dwayne suggest alcohol industry is likely threatened because many people are reducing alcohol use by using hemp products instead  Dwayne notes: Alcohol sales have declined while hemp sales rose. Regulators appear to be protecting alcohol interests via hemp restrictions. [0:17:41] Federal Regulations & State Opt‑Outs Upcoming federal regulations in November: Expected to be similarly “ugly and nasty” for hemp nationwide. States will have an option to opt out of these federal hemp rules. Tennessee's stance: Governor has stated Tennessee will NOT opt out, so federal restrictions will apply here. Other states (e.g., North Carolina) might opt out, keeping their markets more open. Industry response: Advocacy groups Tennessee Growers Coalition and Hemp Law Group monitor legislation and organize pushback. Some supportive legislators exist, but political drive to reverse current law is limited. Dwayne and Ed distinguish: Reasonable regulation (ID checks, lab tests, dosage clarity, education) vs. A “wipeout/control/takeover” by shifting to ABC and forcing distributor reliance. Dwayne: Says credible local shops (Hemp House, Chattanooga peers like BeeGrity, Snapdragon, etc.) already follow high standards. States this law is not about safety but about control and revenue capture, and will hurt small farmers and businesses. [0:25:55] What Consumers Should Do Before Deadline Practical advice: Stock up now on products that will disappear: Delta‑8 gummies (popular for sleep, anxiety, pain). Other higher‑milligram THC/CBD edibles. Flower and vapes. Hemp House is running clearance sales to move remaining inventory. Dosing notes: Many people do well with ½ Delta‑8 gummy for sleep/anxiety/pain. Some need more or less; staff helps tailor doses for goals. Hemp House will close its North Shore/Tremont Street flagship store by July 1 due to expected sales hit. Remaining Hemp House locations: Ringgold Road (East Ridge) near Spring Creek. Ooltewah by Food City on Lee Highway. Hixson Pike near Workout Anytime and Publix. Broader impact: Other Chattanooga hemp businesses have large staffs (some near 100 employees) and will be heavily affected. The industry is described as grassroots, farmer‑driven, and passionately quality‑focused. [0:33:20] Polypharmacy & Deprescribing with Dr. Curt Dearing Ed introduces Dr. Curt Dearing, clinical pharmacist at Nutrition World (30+ years experience). Curt's background: Formerly fully conventional pharmacist; later “veil lifted” as he discovered green pharmacy (nutritional & botanical alternatives). Current mission: Community outreach to medical schools and residency programs Teach about nutritional and natural alternatives not covered in standard curriculums. Traditional training provides almost zero meaningful nutrition or green pharmacy education. Polypharmacy: use of 5 or more prescription medications. Curt notes: Majority of Americans 65+ meet this definition. Average American receives ~17 prescriptions per year (not all concurrent). Consequences: Increased ER visits due to drug side effects. Estimated ~250,000 deaths/year from drug‑induced causes. Curt's role: Specializes in deprescribing: safely reducing or eliminating unnecessary pharmaceuticals and replacing them with effective natural options when possible.  How Curt Works with Patients & Their Doctors Curt provides coaching, not independent prescribing. Creates detailed packets (10–18+ pages) explaining: Why certain drugs may no longer be needed. Evidence for natural alternatives (e.g., supplements, lifestyle changes). Encourages clients to take the packet to their doctor and have an informed discussion. Patients often fear how their doctors will react to attempts to deprescribe. Green Pharmacy Approach (as described by Dr. Curt Dearing) Using nutritional, botanical, and lifestyle-based therapies either instead of or alongside pharmaceuticals. Focusing on root causes and supporting the body's own healing mechanisms, not just pushing lab numbers in a certain direction. Why polypharmacy is a problem: Increases side effects, drug–drug interactions, and emergency room visits. Contributes to cognitive decline, gut problems, and overall worse health. Often leads to the “prescribing cascade”: Drug A causes side effects → a new drug is added for those side effects → more side effects → more drugs, and so on. How Dr. Curt Dearing uses green pharmacy to reduce polypharmacy: Curt creates a comprehensive list of all medications and supplements. Asks: “Why was this started?” and “Is it still needed?” Looks for: Drugs with no clear current indication. Drugs where a natural option can give similar or better benefit with fewer risks. Drugs that can be safely tapered or sometimes stopped outright (always in coordination with the prescriber). Identifies which meds are likely causing the most harm or least benefit. Some drugs require slow, structured tapering (e.g., sleep meds, acid blockers). Others may be candidates for direct discontinuation after medical agreement. Replacing or supporting with natural alternatives ( please note this is not medical advice, this is a discussion of personal examples in collaboration with medical oversight) Cholesterol: Instead of (or in place of some) statin use, Curt uses berberine and bergamot (Berbercol). In Ed's brother's case, his cholesterol numbers improved on green-pharmacy options, matching or exceeding statin outcomes without the same side‑effect burden. Pain & inflammation: Uses curcumin (for most people), and Boswellia when curcumin isn't enough. Gut/acid issues: Long-term proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use (e.g., omeprazole, lansoprazole) is flagged as harmful to gut microbiome and nutrient absorption. Curt builds step-down plans (tapering PPIs) while supporting the gut with natural measures instead of leaving people on a PPI for 30 years. Focus on side benefits, not side effects. Green pharmacy interventions are chosen because they: Address root causes (e.g., metabolic health, inflammation, gut integrity). Often have multiple positive effects (e.g., berberine helping blood sugar and lipids; curcumin helping joints and systemic inflammation). The aim is fewer total drugs, fewer side effects, better overall function. Clients are encouraged to work with their doctor, so deprescribing is: Planned, Monitored, and Integrated with their existing care. Curt and Ed both acknowledge there are situations where “rescue medicine” is necessary: Severe pain where an opioid is appropriate. Acute crises where drugs are needed as a bandage. The green pharmacy view: Use those drugs as short‑term tools, Then remove or reduce them once the immediate crisis passes, While implementing natural strategies to decrease the need for long‑term prescriptions. [0:56:26] Final Segment  At‑home HPV testing for cervical cancer Ed explains HPV is a major driver of cervical cancer Historically, women had to schedule an in‑office visit for cervical screening, which creates barriers (cost, fear, time, discomfort, lack of insurance). He notes there is now an option for at‑home HPV testing for cervical screening. Intended to increase access for women who aren't getting regular screening. Ed strongly approves of this as a valuable preventive tool and encourages women who haven't been tested to consider it. Ed cites new data showing: Microplastics are found in 100% of human stool samples tested in one study. Higher levels of microplastics are now being linked to gallstones. Broader concerns: Everyday plastic exposure (especially with food and drink) means these particles can: Interact with cells, Drive inflammation, Contribute to premature cellular aging and reduced energy. Practical countermeasures he recommends: Avoid heating food in plastic or placing hot food into plastic containers/wrap (e.g., Saran wrap, plastic take‑out containers). Filter drinking water to remove microplastics (he's trialing the AquaTru system at home, which he says removes 100% of microplastics and much of the fluoride). Improve indoor air quality to reduce airborne microplastic exposure. Ed highlights a serious, long‑term job opening at Nutrition World: Not a summer or short‑term job. Best for someone philosophically aligned with healthy eating and the “green pharmacy” approach. Interested candidates should: Go into the store and speak with Scott, Elisha, or Matt and complete an application.  The post Radio Show / Podcast – May 31, 2026 first appeared on Vital Health Radio.

Do you find yourself constantly trying to be perfect, avoiding conflict, and putting everyone else's needs before your own? If you grew up hearing "you're such a good girl," this episode will blow your mind. Today we're diving into Good Girl Syndrome—a pattern that affects so many women but often goes unrecognized. The connection between people-pleasing, perfectionism, and disordered eating is surprisingly direct, and understanding this link could be the key to your freedom. In this episode, you'll discover: What Good Girl Syndrome is and how it develops from childhood The direct connection between people-pleasing and eating disorders How food becomes another moral issue when you're stuck in "good girl" patterns 7 practical ways to break free from this cycle Why your self-worth shouldn't be tied to external validation How to redefine success on your own terms If you've ever felt like you can't say no, constantly apologize, or use food as a reward system for being "good," this episode is for you. WHAT IS GOOD GIRL SYNDROME? Good Girl Syndrome describes a pattern where you consistently put everyone else's expectations ahead of your own. You avoid conflict, strive for perfectionism, and prioritize others' needs above yourself. From a young age, girls are praised for: Being helpful and quiet Being accommodating Putting others first This praise creates a pattern where self-worth becomes tied to external validation and meeting others' expectations. Common behaviors include: ✅ Difficulty saying no ✅ Excessively apologizing ✅ Fear of disappointing others ✅ Striving for perfection in work, appearance, and behavior ✅ Constantly suppressing your own needs and feelings ✅ Seeking external validation ✅ Avoiding conflict at all costs ✅ Taking on excessive responsibilities While these traits seem admirable, they create unsustainable standards that lead to chronic stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. HOW GOOD GIRL SYNDROME FUELS EATING DISORDERS When your self-worth is tied to validation and meeting impossible standards, your body becomes another arena for control and perfection. The pursuit of the "perfect body" feels like another checkbox on an endless list of ways to be "good enough." Here's how it manifests:

There is a theory that both the next podcast edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement as well as the next written version might be delayed out of some sort of concern about whether the internal numbering system is equipped to deal with the impending approach of the 1,000th edition. At least, that is one possible explanation of why it has taken so long to produce these older stories from the last week. There was a slight disruption in the routine which sometimes results in delays. I'm Sean Tubbs, and I look forward to sorting it all out.Audio versions of stories previously sent out in the newsletter: * Charlottesville City Council agrees to reallocate funding intended to run low-barrier shelter (read the story)* Charlottesville's finance director presents more details on city's $8.5 million surplus (read the story)* The 700 block of Charlottesville's West Main Street is now known as “Mel's Walk” (read the story)* Albemarle's Economic Development Authority agrees to spend $500K on Boulders Road Extension (read the story)* Supervisor Mike Pruitt shares information on CARTA with fellow elected officials (read the story)* The Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission will try again for federal funding for design of Rivanna pedestrian bridge (read the story)Charlottesville Community Engagement is a reader-supported publication.

Change an overhead lightbulb, plant a flower, walk a dog for someone who is sick, visit someone who is lonely? If so, Cville Village needs you!Cville Village is a local 501c3 nonprofit organization loosely affiliated with a national network of Villages whose goals are to help seniors stay in their own homes as long as possible, and to build connections among them that diminish social isolation. Volunteers do small chores for, and have gatherings of, professors and schoolteachers, nurses and lawyers, aides and housekeepers. Time and chance come to all – a fall, an order not to drive, failing eyesight, a sudden stroke. They assist folks continue living at home, with a little help from their friends.Cville Village volunteers consult software that shows them who has requested a service and where they are located. Volunteers accept only the requests that fit their schedule and their skills.Volunteering for Cville Village can expand your circle of friends and shower you with thanks.To learn more, visit cvillevillage.org or attend one of their monthly Village “meet-ups” and see for yourself.

As I was producing stories last week, I did produce the audio but I did not post them to the Information Charlottesville website. Somehow I forgot that finished audio segments had been made and it felt like a slog to have to do the audio again.This is because the radio version did not air last week and so I didn't feel the same pressure to follow all of the steps. This week there will be a radio show and I have enough material that I am considering slowing down a little this week to focus on business and administration things.Also, it is going to be in the fifties later and I want to go for a walk and watch the ice and snow melt. So I am going to aim to have the next newsletter out tomorrow. That will be #999 and after that will be #1000. No comma. I think that's how I'll get through adding a fourth digit.Another reason things were difficult this week is that my copy of Adobe Audition reset and a lot of my bookmarks disappeared. Because I could not see the recent links to session files, I assumed I had not produced them.I'm writing this as I produce the podcast and also missing are my links to various sound files I use as punctuation in between stories. Youngers versions of me used to love playing around with audio production. I still do, but these days the need to produce takes the capacity away from being creative.Which is why this may be a week I listen to my brain and take a slight reset. All I know is that I'm very glad to have this edition done and to have a few hours off away from writing. There are many stories to tell, but there are also days I need to do a little more.Oh! Another reason this week is weird. For some reason, the gain on the headphones for my recording set-up is really low so I can't really hear myself while narrating. This is an annoyance but also causes issues. Perhaps I'll spend the rest of the day setting up a new place to work! This is a public episode.

What if the reason your vision feels empty isn't because you're aiming too small, but because it's too focused on you? In this episode, Josselyne challenges the way most high performers think about vision and reveals why checking boxes, hitting milestones, and achieving impressive goals can still leave you feeling disconnected, unfulfilled, and oddly unsatisfied.After nearly four decades of coaching entrepreneurs and founders, Josselyne has seen this pattern over and over again. The business works. The success looks good on paper. But something feels hollow. That's because most visions are just sophisticated goal lists.In this episode, Josselyne introduces a powerful reframe she calls spatial vision. Instead of asking “What do I want to accomplish?”, she invites you to ask, “What is the space I am creating for others?” A spatial vision is not about admiration. It's about the invitation. It creates an environment people want to step into, contribute to, and grow within. When your vision becomes a space rather than a trophy case, everything shifts. Teams engage differently. Clients stop being transactional and start becoming co-creators. And ironically, you end up achieving more with less effort.What you'll learn in this episode:Why self-focused visions quietly cap your impact and fulfillmentWhat spatial vision is and how it creates connection and momentumThe three qualities every vision needs to inspire others naturallyA simple exercise to redesign your vision so people want to contributeConnect With JosselyneWebsite: beunmessablewith.comInstagram: @beunmessablewithFacebook: UnmessablewithnessLinkedIn: josselyneherman-saccioYouTube: @beunmessablewith

PREVIEW. AI, Corporate Staffing Reduction, and Consumer Liquidity Issues Threatening a Recession. Chris Riegel discusses how while AI contributes to corporate staff reduction (e.g., IBM), financial results from quick service restaurants like Chipotle indicate consumer challenges. Specifically, younger consumers are financially strained, leading to negative results and consumers trading down. This problem with consumer liquidity represents early signs of what could become a nasty recession, though its progression is unknown. Retry

What began as a discussion on whether our work must really be so important ultimately came to our need to know ourselves and what really fulfills us individually. And while yes, having meaningful work is profound to the joy of our lives, it's also not meant to be the end all to our purpose and calling, but a tool. For this conversation I brought on Dan Miller, celebrated career leader and author of the classic tome on work, 48 Days To The Work & Life You Love. And also, my father. He passed away suddenly in January of 2024 and his work continues to inspire so many lives. We had a conversation at a high, and deep level, regarding how we all perceive the value and importance of our work. I wanted to speak specifically to those who may be feeling stress and anxiety about finding the ultimate work opportunity. The “holy grail” and culmination of their life's purpose and calling. That can be so daunting and in this episode I feel we did justice in taking some of the pressure off the work and putting the impetus on us having a bigger view of our overall life focus.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for May 14th Publish Date:  May 14th    Commercial: NASHVILLE GREEK FESTIVAL From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, May 14th and Happy Birthday to George Lucas. ***05.14.25 - BIRTHDAY – GEORGE LUCAS*** I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Cobb Contributes $100k for MUST Ministries’ Cooling Center 18-year-old Charged with Bringing Knife to Marietta High Atlanta Braves to Honor USHER with Bobblehead All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: TIDWELL TREES_FINAL STORY 1: Cobb Contributes $100k for MUST Ministries’ Cooling Center Cobb County commissioners voted 3-2 to allocate $108,000 to MUST Ministries for its summer cooling center, providing refuge for the homeless on days over 90°F. The funding covers food, supplies, security, and bus vouchers, with hotel stays for overflow. While Democrats supported the initiative as a proactive measure to prevent heat-related deaths, Republicans opposed it, citing concerns about government funding for nonprofits and favoritism. Chairwoman Lisa Cupid defended the decision, emphasizing the county’s responsibility to address homelessness compassionately. The funds come from Cobb’s Emergency Management budget, which also supports other emergencies like fire displacement. STORY 2: 18-year-old Charged with Bringing Knife to Marietta High Mikaya Kameron Thompson, 18, was arrested on May 2 for bringing a 6-inch Kunai knife to Marietta High School. Charged with carrying weapons in a school safety zone, she was taken into custody at 8 a.m. and remains in the Cobb County Adult Detention Center without bond. STORY 3: Atlanta Braves to Honor USHER with Bobblehead The Atlanta Braves will honor GRAMMY-winning artist Usher on June 18 at Truist Park. The first 15,000 fans will receive an exclusive Usher bobblehead featuring the iconic “Peace Up, A-Town” gesture. Pre-game celebrations in The Battery Atlanta include live music with a DJ playing Usher’s hits and a themed food truck offering dishes inspired by his songs. Usher also collaborated on a co-branded merchandise collection, available at the Braves Clubhouse Store starting that day. Fans are encouraged to arrive early for the festivities.

The safe was rendered inoperable, according to the manager. Diallo faces a second-degree criminal damage charge but does not appear in jail records. STORY 5: 1885 Grill Named Cobb County's Small Business of the Year 1885 Grill in Acworth was named Cobb County's 2025 Small Business of the Year by the Cobb Chamber of Commerce. Owner Michael Schroeder was recognized for overcoming challenges in the hospitality industry, opening during the pandemic and expanding to a second location in Kennesaw. Other awards included FruiTea Bubbles Café as Minority-Owned Business of the Year, The Music Studio Atlanta as Woman-Owned Business of the Year, and Essayon Construction Group as Veteran-Owned Business of the Year. The chamber also celebrated its Top 25 Small Businesses, highlighting their innovation, growth, and community contributions. Break: TIDWELL TREES_FINAL STORY 6: Mableton Man Charged with Attempted Kidnapping at School Bus Stop Seron Kennedy, 39, of Mableton, was arrested for attempting to kidnap a 12-year-old girl at a bus stop in Austell on May 5. The girl reported the incident to a school counselor, leading to a forensic interview where she provided a detailed description of Kennedy and his vehicle. Police located and arrested Kennedy, charging him with attempted kidnapping. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities urge anyone with information to contact Cobb Police's Crimes Against Children Unit. Parents are encouraged to discuss safety with their children, teach safety procedures, stay vigilant, and report suspicious activity.
