Seth Gruber is one of the strongest voices in our time in the fight to preserve life of the unborn. In a nation where abortions are now as high as 3 million per year, the church has fallen silent. Seth has stepped in the gap to challenge the silence and fight to awaken the nation to the consequences of living outside of the will of God. Our nation has become a death cult, and its people living in passive compliance. Seth is hard hitting, uncompromising and a truth breath of fresh air in a time when passionate voices that walk the path of Jesus are hard to find.  #BardsFM #SethGruber #BlessedAreTheLittleOnes Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com EnviroKlenz Air Purification, promo code BARDS to save 10%: www.enviroklenz.com EMPShield protect your vehicles and home.

What if burnout isn't just about working too hard—but about thinking the wrong way? That's the argument Dr. André Walton makes through two decades of research and work with organizations like NASA, Virgin Group, and The Smithsonian. A social psychologist and creator of the Banish Burnout™ framework, Dr. André reveals that the modern world trains us to think deductively and analytically, starving the creative neural pathways that fuel emotional intelligence and resilience. In this conversation, he explains the early signs that creative thinking is being compromised, what divergent and convergent thinking actually mean, and how restoring balance can rewire stress into sustainable flow. Join host Khudania Ajay (KAJ) to discover why creativity isn't a luxury—it's a core human drive essential to your well-being.

Review of the woman at the well from John 4.We begin today with a prayer for our brothers and sisters in Russia and Ukraine. Most of all, a worldwide revival might even start there, in the midst of turmoil.The conversation in John 4 is as astonishing as our prayers. To the woman, a Jew talking to a Samaritan woman was unthinkable. The holy God of the universe initiating communion with us is just as inconceivable. Yet He does:Moses sees the burning bush; the Hebrews tell us He has spoken in various and sundry ways. At one point, all I knew of the Bible was Romans 6:23, from a billboard.Hebrews also tells us that He is now speaking to us through His Son. "in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world. 3 And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 having become as much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they." Hebrews 1:2-4And as Jesus is turning the woman from water to eternal life, He tells us in this passage: "…made purification of sins…" Eternity is His message.Our So What?We ask this question: Knowing that the spiritual is so much more critical than the physical. How might that change the content of our prayers? "What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

If there are American leaders making military or legislative decisions based in faith rather than facts, that is a clear, and flagrant, violation of the separation of church and state. Commanders who send troops into combat have an obligation to the law, the mission, and the men and women under their command. If they think they are fulfilling some long prophesied Armageddon we need to hold them accountable. As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Latrisha McIntosh and LaTasha Taylor. Founders of BSM Media Group and the award‑winning BSM Magazine. The conversation covers beauty standards, entrepreneurship, their journey from a one-page blog during the recession to becoming media entrepreneurs, the highs and lows of their career, their spiritual grounding, their historic interview with Oprah Winfrey, and their mission to create dignified, uplifting media. Purpose of the Interview The interview serves to: ⭐ Highlight the twins’ entrepreneurial journey How they built BSM Magazine and BSM Media Group from scratch during the 2008 recession. ⭐ Discuss their philosophy on beauty, representation, and purpose They emphasize inner beauty, authenticity, and rejecting societal pressure—values that shape their platform and interviews. ⭐ Inspire entrepreneurs Through transparency about lows (being undervalued) and highs (interviewing Oprah), they demonstrate resilience, faith, and consistency. ⭐ Showcase their impact Including discovering rising talent early (e.g., Tabitha Brown), providing media opportunities, and evolving into producers, writers, and content creators. Key Takeaways 1. The Origin of BSM Magazine Started as a one‑page business blog during the 2008 recession to serve rising entrepreneurs. They credit the magazine’s creation as “something that God gave us.” Their natural creativity as twins carried over from childhood. 2. Inner Beauty and Authenticity They define beauty as inner strength, confidence, and embracing the way God created you. Social media culture magnifies appearance, but they insist “outer beauty must align with inner beauty.” 3. Sustaining Success Their differentiation comes from focusing on: Quality content Spotlighting overlooked talent Doing things mainstream outlets often ignore They interviewed Tabitha Brown before she became widely known and gave actress Essence Atkins her first magazine cover. 4. Challenges and Low Points Being undervalued and overlooked in the media industry. Being judged by numbers or pushed to the back of the line. Yet, they emphasize:“That ‘no’ comes back around … bigger and better.” 5. High Points Their divine‑timed interview with Oprah in April 2018: They put Oprah on a vision board in January. LaTasha tweeted her daily for six months. Oprah unexpectedly turned around on the red carpet and approached them for an interview.This became a milestone moment in their career. 6. Operating a Media Company as Twins They learned to respect each other’s strengths: LaTasha: writing, articles, layouts Latrisha: creative direction and balance Their partnership is spiritually rooted and purpose-driven. 7. Expanding Beyond a Magazine The magazine now lives under BSM Media Group, which produces: Celebrity content Corporate and government media The Twins a Media Show They evolved into scriptwriters, producers, and consultants. 8. Longevity Comes From Quality They prioritize: Clean, dignified media Positive storytelling Production standards They tell entrepreneurs not to focus on numbers—focus on quality, and longevity will follow. Notable Quotes On Beauty “Inner beauty has such a powerful way of allowing us to be our true selves.” “Embrace your eyes, your nose, your hips—all the way God made you.” “Imagine if everybody operated in their own lane. That signifies beauty at its highest level.” On Entrepreneurship “We realized we were in the business of seeing people—because we were the underdogs.” “Don’t worry about your numbers. Quality will always stand.” “Sometimes your visions are crazy, and they don’t make sense to people—but believe anyway.” On Overcoming Doubt “A low point is being undervalued—but God has a sense of humor. That ‘no’ comes back around.” “We’ve heard it all. You need layers of skin to accept when someone thinks you're not good enough.” On Their Oprah Moment “She turned around, walked past everyone, and came straight to us.” “Nobody but God—and a little effort from Tasha!” On Partnership “God made us twins for a reason. I couldn’t do this journey without her.” “Working in business taught me more about my sister than growing up together ever did.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

➡️ Get the full episode breakdown at Biology of Trauma® Podcast – Episode 164: Could Your Trauma Be Disrupting Your Metabolism? The Weight Health Conversation What if the reason your body is holding onto weight has nothing to do with what you're eating — and everything to do with hormones you may not have heard about?  In this episode, Dr. Aimie talks with registered dietitian and author Ashley Koff to unpack the hidden world of weight health hormones: GLP-1, leptin, ghrelin, and more — and why optimizing them matters for everybody, not just people trying to lose weight. What you'll hear will change how you see your body — not as something failing you, but as a sophisticated ecosystem sending you signals worth decoding. Ashley reveals why 93% of Americans are metabolically dysregulated, how trauma and chronic stress directly suppress the hormones that regulate metabolism and body composition, and why "weight loss" as a goal is actually working against your biology. Whether you're curious about GLP-1 medications, perimenopause weight changes, or just why the scale never seems to match your effort — this conversation will shift everything. In This Episode You'll Learn:  (00:00): Introducing the connection - weight, metabolism and GLP-1 (03:06): The weight-trauma connection: Why the body holds on despite every effort (04:04):  What “weight health” means biologically — and why weight loss as a goal misses the point (07:17) The incretin discovery: How GLP-1, leptin, ghrelin, and seven other weight health hormones regulate your biology (10:53).Why 93% of Americans show signs of suboptimal metabolic health — and what that actually means for you (11:36) Ashley's pizza framework: The right sequence for assessing your metabolic ecosystem (16:00) How to assess your weight health hormones — and why a blood test alone won't tell you what you need to know (24:03) Perimenopause and menopause: Why digestion fails first — and how that drives belly fat and brain fog (31:25) Learned behaviors vs. hormone imbalance: How to tell what is biology and what is a survival strategy from childhood (38:33) Where to start: Ashley's first step for anyone wanting to optimize weight health (41:52) The deliciousness signal: Why a “seven or above” is a physiologic mechanism, not a preference (45:08) Ashley's final message — where to find (her book) Your Best Shot and her clinical resources Resources/Guides: Your Best Shot by Ashley Koff, RD: The Personalized System for Optimal   Weight Health — GLP-1 Shot or Not Ashley Koff's website — For more on digestive, metabolic, and hormone health optimization The Biology of Trauma®  Book by Dr. Aimie Apigian — Where you can find the framework for finding your block in Chapter 12 Free Guide: Steps to Identify and Heal Trauma by Dr. Aimie Apigian Related Podcast Episodes: Episode 56 — Hormones: A Portal Into Our Stored Trauma with Dr. Aimie Apigian Episode 75 — Fear Stored in the Gut: Attachment, Relational Trauma & Solutions for the Hyper-Sensitive Gut Episode 82 — Using Biological Rhythms to Recover From Trauma with Dr. Leslie Korn Episode 138 — Why Your Body Holds On When Your Mind Has Healed Episode 151 — Why Healed Trauma Returns in Perimenopause: Chinese Medicine Lens with Dr. Lorne Brown

What if the place you most want to avoid is the very place where Jesus wants to meet you? In this week’s episode of The Love Offering Podcast, I had the meaningful opportunity to talk with author and speaker Willow Weston about her powerful new book, Collide. Life rarely unfolds the way we imagine it will. Heartbreak, loss, trauma, disappointment, and shame can leave us feeling scattered and unsure of how to move forward. Many of us try to outrun the pain or bury it beneath busy lives and brave faces. But as Willow gently reminds us, unresolved hurt has a way of resurfacing—often through anxiety, broken relationships, or a deep sense of restlessness. But what if our pain isn’t the end of the story? In Collide, Willow invites us to consider a different possibility: that Jesus meets us right in the middle of our mess. Not to shame us or condemn us, but to walk with us, heal what is broken, and begin restoring our hearts. Through her own honest and vulnerable story, Willow offers compassionate guidance for those who long for healing but aren’t sure where to begin. Together we talk about: Why our past wounds often shape our present struggles How avoiding pain can keep us stuck in unhealthy patterns What Scripture reveals about weakness, suffering, and God’s nearness How inviting Jesus into our hurt opens the door for real healing And how our healing can ripple outward to bless others One of the most encouraging reminders from our conversation is this: we don’t have to arrive healed before coming to Jesus. We can come exactly as we are—limping, weary, unsure—and trust that He meets us there. Friend, if you’re carrying something heavy today, I hope this conversation reminds you that God sees you, He cares deeply about what you’ve walked through, and He is near to the brokenhearted. You don’t have to run from your pain.You can bring it to Him. My prayer is that this episode encourages you to take one small step toward healing and to trust that even the places that feel most broken can become places where God’s grace meets you most powerfully. With love, Rachael Host, The Love Offering PodcastAuthor of Everyday Prayers for Love P.S. If this episode encourages you, consider sharing it with a friend who may need the reminder that healing is possible—and that Jesus meets us right in the middle of our story.

Type 2 diabetes remission is possible. In this episode of the Health Pioneers Podcast, Dr. Salvatore Gorla explains why the standard medical approach keeps patients stuck managing their blood sugar instead of actually fixing the problem.Dr. Gorla ran one of the largest functional medicine practices in America for over 25 years. He has spoken at Harvard on reversing type 2 diabetes and has helped thousands of patients lower their A1C naturally using his evidence-based three-pronged approach.His journey started after watching his grandfather follow every doctor's order and still die from diabetes complications at age 67. That experience led him to develop a method that targets the three root causes most doctors never address: chronic inflammation, fatty infiltration of the liver and pancreas, and hormone imbalance.What we cover in this episode:00:00 Can type 2 diabetes actually be reversed  05:08 The three pronged approach to diabetes remission 06:56 Why disease management is not the same as health care 08:00 Why insulin resistance is a symptom not the cause 13:22 How inflammation causes type 2 diabetes 17:07 What high A1C does to your brain and mood 21:07 Best diet for type 2 diabetes explained simply 25:34 How big pharma profits from long term patients 28:54 Why hope matters for reversing type 2 diabetes 32:26 The danger of diabetes drug side effects and polypharmacy 35:04 Is type 2 diabetes genetic or lifestyle 36:35 How type 2 diabetes causes erectile dysfunction in men 38:25 Can severe type 2 diabetes still be reversed 41:03 Why internet health information confuses diabetic patientsAnswered In This Episode: Can type 2 diabetes be reversed naturally?Yes. Dr. Gorla explains that type 2 diabetes is one of the easiest chronic conditions to put into remission when the root causes are addressed. His approach focuses on reducing inflammation, removing fatty buildup in the liver and pancreas, and restoring hormone balance.Is managing type 2 diabetes with medication enough?Standard diabetes management treats symptoms but often does not address the deeper causes like gut inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, and adrenal hormone imbalances. Many patients on multiple medications still see their A1C go up and down while dealing with serious side effects.What is a dangerous A1C level?An A1C between 5.7 and 6.3 is considered prediabetic and already increases the risk of stroke and heart attack. Dr. Gorla explains why even prediabetes should be taken seriously and treated early.Find Dr. Salvatore Gorla:Website: https://drgorla.com/ Health Pioneers PodcastIf you've ever left a medical appointment feeling rushed, dismissed, or more confused than when you walked in, you're not alone.Health Pioneers is a podcast featuring clinicians and health practitioners who looked at the conventional system and decided to do things differently.Each episode highlights a practitioner who stepped off the beaten path to build a better way of helping patients…one focused on root causes, deeper thinking, and care that actually makes sense.These are thoughtful conversations about how great practitioners think, what they see that others miss, and why they chose a different path.Health Pioneers is a Healthpreneur production hosted by Jim Rohr, our head of marketing at Healthpreneur. Healthpreneur is on a mission to help the best health experts serve the most people, and Jim has spent the past 20 years as a practitioner, author, and advocate for root-cause medicine.#type2diabetes #diabetesremission #functionalm edicine #A1C #insulinresistance #bloodsugar #healthpioneerspodcast

In Episode 69, Amy Smith sits down with longtime foster and adoptive mom Crystal Dukes for a heartfelt conversation about the real purpose of foster care: reunification.

Amy: Welcome to Fostering Conversations. I’m your host, Amy Smith. Today we have Crystal Dukes, who is a foster and adoptive mom, and we are so glad to chat with her today. Thanks for being here, Crystal. Crystal: Thank you so much for having me. Amy: So we wanna just start off by letting our audience know who you are. So tell us a little bit about yourself. my name’s Crystal Jewkes like Amy said, and,My husband and I have been married for 27 years, and we have four kids of our own. We’ve had about 30 kids in and out of our homes, many of which we’re still, in contact with in one way or another. and it’s been a while. we were foster parents for seven years. our older kids actually are adopted and that’s what put got us, interested in foster care is to it, to go that route. Okay. Yeah. So you guys had adopted domestically or internationally? Privately, essentially. And then did foster care Crystal: an agency here. Yep. Amy: Okay. Okay, cool. So you’ve experienced both situations of adoption. That’s awesome. That’s really neat. So today’s podcast, we wanna focus on reunification. So we’ll start with that. The goal of foster care is to reunify these kids, right? We want them to go home, but what has your experience been while working towards reunification with the kids that have come through your home? Crystal: I actually absolutely love this topic because, we have to go into it that way, or it’s, makes it so much harder. And for everyone. And that is the number one most important thing, whether you’re open to adopting or just fostering, that is absolutely so important to understand. especially anyone who’s listening who is just interested in foster care, that’s the biggest thing. but to be honest, we got into it to adopt Amy: Yeah, which a lot of families do. Crystal: To be honest,we were newbies. We didn’t really know what we were. Doing, and we wanted more kids and wanted to adopt more kids. And we thought that, foster care would be a good way to do that. And so we were quickly told, that’s not what this is for. and Amy: Right. I said, okay. I said, okay, we’ll see. Yeah. Crystal: and we got a call fairly quickly about a week after, and, And asked if we would take two little boys, and they were ages three and four and barely three. He had just barely turned three. And so really it was, they were quite young. And they came and dropped him off at our house with a can of seven up in their hands with nothing else. And, but they were fine. They were. Came in and we went to a baseball game of my son’s that night, and I just getting to know ’em and feeding them and, it seemed like a play date for them, I think at Amy: Yeah. Crystal: and then we started really figuring things out and, That was a really, it was a tough time because they were adorable little boys, but they were really hard little boys. However, that first week, When we were gonna have a quick meeting with the, their mom and she was gonna have a visit. I took them to the store and I said, okay, pick your mom’s favorite drink and then pick your mom’s favorite candy bar. And so they picked something pink andI’m like, they told me it was your favorite. And Amy: Yeah, exactly. Crystal: But the moment, I was a little nervous. I didn’t know what I was gonna see on the other side of the door, and we walked in and she immediately got up and gave me a hug and said, thank you so much for taking care of my babies. and we, so we had brought her little gifts and I had brought her all the pictures I had taken and I had, had ’em, made them a little book for her so that she had some pictures of what we did that week, whether it was going to get an ice cream cone at McDonald’s or playing in the backyard or whatever. And just so she could see that they were being taken care of. Amy: And she, to this day, 13, 14 years later, she still tells that story and she te still tells me how grateful she was. and it really did break the ice for us. Crystal: made me instantly love her Amy: Yeah. Crystal: and it made me instantly Amy: And humanize her that these really are her kids. Crystal: they’re her, kids. Yes. And humanize her and be a cheerleader for her. So from then on we were. We actually grew quite close the whole time. with good boundaries, we were all safe. She did have a pretty good support system, with her family. But it had gotten to the point where we can’t save you anymore. You’ve gotta, hurt a little bit so your kids are going to foster care. Amy: Yeah. Crystal: and so we had them for nine months. And during that nine month or six, in six months into the nine months, we got another call. And this one was for, a Safe Haven baby that it was the first in 25 years Amy: Yeah. That’s very Crystal: in the county. And so everyone was standing around going, we don’t know what to do. Amy: Right? Crystal: And so they knew I was after that and our caseworker called and said, there’s a baby that’s been dropped off. And Amy: Wow. Crystal: so we, it was the day after Christmas actually, Amy: Oh wow. Crystal: and we went and we picked him up and he was totally healthy and. Great. and we adopted him. So he stayed with us and we don’t really know anything about his parentage or anything, but, we’ve done the DNA stuff and nothing yet, but we’ll Amy: yeah. Wow, that’s interesting. Crystal: So these cute little boys that we had, they, they still view him as their little brother because he Amy: I love that. Yes, Crystal: they were there. So it was cute. Amy: adorable. Crystal: It was really cute when they were there, but, I was so grateful for that experience because we were in it to foster, to adopt and be done. And after the fact, it was a wonderful reunion. the day they were, in fact, actually. I think this week is their anniversary of going home and after nine months they were, they went home in March and that court day was really special and she was so grateful. Amy: By the end she was having Sunday dinner with us I love that. Crystal: and and to this day we still have girls’ nights and her sisters and her and me, we go out and have dinner. Amy: That’s so awesome. Crystal: We see the boys every once in a while, but they’re, they, one of them just graduated. The other one is getting ready to graduate from high school. And so it’s, it was a really hard and great experience and I learned so much from her and what, my part really was in being a foster parent. And so after it was all over and we were like. we’re not ready to be done because we still love you and you still love us, so we’re gonna, Amy: Keep going. Crystal: have some, at least some communication and contact. But after my husband and I were talking and we were like, are we done? And after and after we adopted the baby, my youngest, we thought maybe we’d be done. And we’re like, it was such an amazing. Miraculous experience to be a part of putting another family, supporting and helping put another family back together that we decided to stay. we kept going and we did a lot of crisis and respite from then on. But,it’s so weird how this timing has happened because. Just the other night. we had a set of twins that were, a few months older than my youngest and they came to us when they were two. So I had like triplets, Amy: Yeah. That sounds intense. Crystal: killed me. I’m not gonna lie. Amy: Yeah. Crystal: But to be honest, and here’s a plug for those that, are looking into this, is they’re like, this birth mother really needed you. Or, this, I don’t even, it seems wrong to even call them a birth mother. Their mom really needed you, to believe in her. She needed someone to believe in because they were in a placement where. It wasn’t necessarily a great match. And so they came to us for a summer before their parents got them back, and now they’re 14 years old and she has a third child and divorced. So she’s bi, she’s single with three kids, but she had moved away,someplace in the Midwest. And so I lost track of her, but when she was still here. they, I knew where they lived and would go to the grocery store and just buy a bag of popsicles and drop ’em off on my way home just to still support just a little bit. ’cause it, it was a struggle there. There’s a reason why kids are taken, because it was a struggle. She still needed some support. But, just recently, I found her just before Christmas. I found her. She’s in Amy: Oh, wow. Crystal: Arkansas. And so I had sent them all a outfit, and her an outfit. She texted me a couple nights ago and thanked me. So all this, it’s weird that all this is happening at the same time and doing this five. Amy: it’s fun though to remember the stories of the things that have happened. I just, I think, so I don’t, you probably don’t know this, but I also am a foster adoptive mom and have reunified kids, and I was the opposite. I was like, I’ll do foster care as long as they all go home. I didn’t all go home, so love them, but they didn’t all go home. but I just love the aspect and the thought process like that You are their support system. I am constantly telling people the reason why we have foster care and why kids get dropped off at all hours of the day at strangers’ homes is because they, their parent doesn’t have anybody. There is nobody safe or secure that those kids can go to. So CPS brings them to a stranger, a foster home. That is just mind boggling to Crystal: it it really is. Amy: Yeah. and I can’t get over it even though I’ve had so many kids come through my home and I’ve met many parents and reunified and adopted and all the things, but it’s just like these people don’t have anybody. And so that foster family can become somebody that supports Crystal: Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. our, current situation is we are not, with work and other kids and growing up we just. We weren’t able to, continue to foster, but there was one that we kept renewing for. Amy: Yeah. Crystal: ’cause she came to our house when she was 18 months her first time, and then they went back to parents and then came back three months later and then went to a kinship home, and she just was failing to thrive. And she came back and,we were on track to act, to adopt her. So she’s a few months younger than our youngest. Amy: Okay. Crystal: And we went through, COVID the whole bit, and it just got to a point where parents weren’t, they’d be successful for a minute and then not. And Amy: which is very common. Crystal: yeah. And yet her parents love her. Her parents love her and she loves them, but she’s old enough now to just realize and , it got really difficult and, and, my kids saw the stress that was on me and the attention that was taken from them it was rough. And, the back and forth that foster kids go through when they’re visiting a parent for a weekend, then coming back. they can leave an angel and come back the devil, Amy: Yeah. Crystal: just, Amy: It’s a good way of putting it. Crystal: it’s because they’re just confused and it’s hard. and I just, it was one of those things that. We called on the higher power and was just like, we don’t really know what to do. And it was really quite miraculous how it turned out because in my mind I thought someone has to lose. Not everyone can win in this situation. either dad’s going to lose her forever, never see her again. Grandma, she’ll never see her grandma. She’ll lose her dad, or I’ll never see her again. And at this point, and in those formative years, she is quite bonded to me and our family. And she, to this day, it’s, she does Your home is home and there’s some other,another foster family involved as well. and she lives with grandma. But, But it was really miraculous how it turned out, and it did take some begging on my part to say, please let her live with her grandma. Amy: Wow, that’s unusual. Crystal: I promise you, I will. I promise you I will stay around. I just, I can’t sacrifice my own children at the moment. And that’s, that was the reality of it, as hard as that is for me to say. and so we all work together. it’s the team and her grandma and I are great friends and her dad and I are friends and with our family and Amy: it’s working, Crystal: it’s working pretty well and. There may be a time where she’s with us more, but right now it works. It works well. But at the time I was really, and even our caseworkers to this day are like, I cannot believe Amy: Yeah. That’s unusual. Crystal: when we were going, when we were going through it, they were like, this is the craziest case we’ve ever had. and even, and then I run into ’em now and they’re like, amazing. Amy: yeah. I love. Crystal: so grateful. Amy: Yes, absolutely. And I love that you said, like somebody had to lose, but ultimately they didn’t. Like everybody is getting to be a part of her life and you are getting to be with your family. The grandma’s getting to raise her, hopefully the dad is still being able to see her. that’s a win for everybody, which is incredible. I love that. Crystal: it really is. and sometimes that’s hard to accept because she’s gonna be. Most provided for, and in, in certain, in a certain situation. but that’s not all of it. There’s so much more to, there’s still some pretty hard days and, even though she’s older, there’s still hard days when she comes back Amy: Right. Crystal: from her dad’s and sometimes, we ha we have hard conversations and. Amy: Yeah. Crystal: she starts to understand stuff and it’s helpful, but, I’m forever grateful that we’re all friends now. It wasn’t always like that. I, I, used to be the devil to them, Amy: Crystal: but we all, they’re, they are, very thankful. That, that we’re still around, and so it’s working well. Amy: yeah. I think it’s really important to realize, if prospective foster parents are listening that like you say, sure, maybe I can provide a nicer house and maybe I can feed them whatever the heck they Crystal: Paper, Amy: of. Yes. Pay Crystal: all stuff. Amy: Yes. Yes, exactly. But that’s not everything. Part of a lot of it is that they deserve and they want to be with their mom and dad or with their grandma, whoever they can be with. But I’ve seen that with my adopted kids. We have a really good relationship with one of our bio moms and. My daughter’s five and she will sometimes say, why can’t I live with mama so-and-so?and I’m just like, yeah, I’m so sorry. And she’s doing great now, if the circumstances were different, they’d be different, but they weren’t back then. And kids want to be with those biological ties, want to be with those people that they grew up with and look like and love. And I think that’s really, can be really hard to understand as a foster family because we think, I have this, and this to offer them. Crystal: We can never offer them that biology or that instinctual innate bonding love. Amy: Yes, we can love the heck out of ’em, but it’s different. Crystal: Yeah, and I’m really grateful that I had. Adopted kids with very healthy, relationships with biological mothers and fathers and families, we’re actually quite close. And so it helped me understand that a little bit sooner, I think. As long as they’re healthy and the child is safe, they’re, I promise you, it’s worth it. It’s worth hanging onto that relationship. It’s never worth. Cutting it off because it will come back sometime. It might even be in adulthood, but it will come back and it will be a big issue. And this way she knows we’re all transparent. She knows, I’ll ask her about her dad and how her visit was, she could tell me, things like that. So yeah, it’s. Amy: better place for kids to have, in their families to be able to say, I miss Mama some, whoever, and I miss this person. And for us parents to say. It’s okay. Like I’m sorry, you do deserve to get to be with them, but because of life you don’t like, I would rather our kids be able to say those things than to, go into adulthood and find them selves in a not healthy situation, So I think we can provide that safety to our adoptive children. And I have an adopted child who we don’t have a relationship. The mom completely fell off and. I don’t know. Like I reach out every few months in hopes that I’ll get a response, but I don’t, And so that happens too. And it’s unfortunate, but that’s how it is. Crystal: And I think it’s also important to say that doesn’t mean the birth parent doesn’t love their kid. they’ve probably come to a reality that they’re not Amy: In a good place. Crystal: a good place and they don’t wanna mess things up or bother anything. and that’s how one of the, our birth mothers are, is they just don’t wanna, mess things up. And so they don’t, and it’s fine, but we still buy Christmas presents for. From her and, we still do her shopping and we, little things like that. and it’s also interesting because now that, now that, she’s older, our foster child is older, and, for all intents and purposes at this point, we’re just great family friends on the, on paper. But she views me as mom and I. That’s great and she also talks about her other mom, so Amy: Which is great. some kids do have multiple moms, multiple dads, and that’s okay. Crystal: And there was a point where, we really did need some help. And so we’ve, we had another foster family and that other foster family and us were best of friends. And it, this has really turned into a village and she knows, the other foster mom and I, we both go to parent teacher conference and we both, I don’t know how many of you have experienced this who are foster parents, but food always seems to be an issue. And they are hoarding food and always wanting food and always checking to make sure there is food. And so I first thing out of her mouth when I pick her up is, what are we having for dinner? What’s for dinner? First thing, and then first thing is she walks in the house, is opens the fridge or opens the pantry. And so it was actually starting to drive me crazy and that’s my problem. But so did, Amy: I feel that, Crystal: I did want her to understand something and I said, there were some times, that your dad didn’t have food. Or your mom didn’t have food and you suffered for it. And so psychologically you suffer from that a little bit. So I’m telling you this, not because I’m telling you not to open the fridge, but I’m telling you that they have some psychological stuff there. that happens. And so we do have those hard conversations and I always make sure I tell her, your parents, love you. They’ve always loved you, but at times they didn’t have food to feed themselves and couldn’t feed you. And so it’s affected you that way. And, making sure that they always know that their, parents love them is really important. Amy: Yeah, I agree with that. That’s awesome. these podcasts always go by really fast, but if there was anything that you could. Advise or recommend to anybody that’s considering foster care? What would be something that you would say that you’ve learned that you would’ve loved to know at the beginning or something like that? Crystal: With my experience, our experience, I wouldn’t trade any of it. we’ve learned so much. But number one is, as a foster parent, our job is to be the biggest cheerleader we can be for the parents to get their kids back if it’s possible. and if it’s not possible, you can still love them. You can still support him Amy: Yeah. And hopefully have a relationship if that Crystal: and have a relationship. Absolutely. the other thing, if you’re new into foster care or if you are, seeking something, it’s okay. We were to, and we were blessed with the miracle and,the crazy thing the week that. We were called about our son, being a safe haven baby. Those of you who aren’t quite sure, that means that he was dropped off at the hospital, no questions asked, walked in, left at the emergency, and walked out. There were two babies in Texas that were found in the trash can that same week, but thankfully they were, being, the dogs were being walked and found them before they died. Amy: Oh wow. Crystal: So they did live, Amy: Yeah. Crystal: but just thinking about that and thinking that could have been my son, just, I can’t even, I can’t even think about that. The other thing is about that particular situation. I remember I had taken him to the doctor just as a baby checkup and and. I loved our doctor. Great. Raised all my kids. And, he said, I remember him saying, how do they, how do people do that? How do I can’t believe birth mother or, mothers would do that? And I immediately said, thank goodness they did. Amy: Yes, I Crystal: Thank goodness they did. Amy: And I, he immediately realized what he had said. And, Yeah. Yeah. Crystal: so that kinda stuff goes through foster care as well. and to the, families out there who maybe have had kids go to foster care, this, it is a safe place. Hopefully, hopefully, you can trust it and,and not everybody’s perfect by any means, but, the goal should be getting him back. No matter how much you love them, and if you really love them, do that and keep a connection with them. The more people that love a kid, the better, and I learned that through adoption. There’s no reason to cut off birth. Mothers who place their babies for adoption is the more people that love somebody, the better that person is, Amy: Yeah. I totally agree. Yeah. thank you so much for sharing your experiences and your passion for reunification. I also have a passion for reunification. and I agree. It’s such an experience to get to. Stay connected with those kids that have been with you and to also see those parents succeed. I think that’s pretty incredible to get to see a parent in their lowest of lows and then do everything they can to get their kid back and get their kid back. Like what an awesome thing to get to be a part of as a foster family. so yes. So thank you so much for sharing your time and experience with us, and we Crystal: My pleasure. Amy: it. Crystal: My pleasure. Thank you so much for having me. Amy: Yes. Thanks for joining us for fostering Conversations. To learn more about foster care, go to www.utahfostercare.org.

In Episode 21 of Concepts and Conversations, Coach Bryan Thomas sits down with leadership and life coach Connie Cotter for a powerful conversation about the difference between happiness and joy—and why that distinction can transform the way we approach life, relationships, and purpose.While happiness is often tied to external circumstances, achievements, or momentary experiences, Connie explains that joy is something deeper—an internal compass that remains steady even when life becomes chaotic.Throughout this conversation, Coach Bryan and Connie explore:The difference between external happiness and internal joyWhy comparison can steal our ability to experience fulfillmentHow personal alignment and self-awareness shape healthy relationshipsThe role faith, values, and authenticity play in living a meaningful lifeWhy true fulfillment begins within the individual, not through another personConnie shares her journey from a long career in IT to becoming a coach who helps people reconnect with their internal alignment and rediscover their purpose. The conversation also touches on marriage, personal growth, and the importance of learning to live authentically rather than performing happiness for the world.In one of the most powerful moments of the episode, Connie opens up about personal loss and how choosing love, connection, and presence can leave a lasting impact on the people around us.This episode challenges listeners to reflect on an important question:Have you truly embraced joy—or have you only been chasing happiness?If you're seeking deeper fulfillment, clarity in relationships, and a stronger connection with your purpose, this conversation will leave you with powerful insights and inspiration.

In this reflective and deeply personal episode of Concepts and Conversations, Coach Bryan takes listeners on a journey back to where it all began. While traveling through a busy season filled with miles, memories, and meaningful moments, he pauses to revisit a defining chapter from his teenage years—one that helped shape the voice, vulnerability, and heartfelt expression that listeners know today.Coach Bryan shares the story of a letter written on August 18, 1997—a letter filled with sincerity, courage, young love, and unspoken hope. What seemed like a simple act of affection at 14 years old would become much more than a teenage memory. It became the beginning of his confidence, his ability to communicate from the heart, and the birth of the poetic rhythm and emotional honesty that would later define his voice as a coach, speaker, and storyteller.In this episode, he reflects on:The courage it takes to express what you truly feelHow meaningful words can leave a lasting impactThe beauty of youthful sincerity and emotional honestyWhy some moments in life become the foundation of who we later becomeHow one decision to speak from the heart can echo for yearsCoach Bryan also shares a powerful later-life revelation: the very letters he once wrote as a teenager became a source of healing and worth for someone during one of the hardest seasons of her life. It is a reminder that words spoken from a genuine place can travel farther than we ever imagine.This episode is a heartfelt meditation on courage, timing, memory, and the moments that quietly shape our destiny.Sometimes the beginning of your purpose does not look like a platform—it looks like a letter, a risk, and the willingness to be honest.If you have ever wondered where your voice was born, or how one meaningful moment can change the course of your life, this episode will stay with you.

Real progress in medicine comes from asking better questions and prostate cancer care deserves that kind of thinking.In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti examines the growing interest in ivermectin, fenbendazole, and the human-approved counterpart mebendazole. He explains how these drugs gained attention and why laboratory findings in cells or animals do not automatically translate into reliable human outcomes. Dr. Stephen also addresses the dangers of self-treatment fueled by internet claims. High-dose ivermectin protocols promoted online carry real risks, including neurological complications and liver injury. Within his Repurposed Drug Therapy protocol, these medications may play a limited, carefully monitored role alongside metabolic optimization, lifestyle changes, and clinical oversight.For men who want both innovation and safety, this episode brings clarity to a topic filled with noise.

We welcome back to our show, political satirist and digital comedian, Walter Masterson. Walt is a progressive video content creator who has turned trolling the likes of Marjorie Taylor Green, Matt Gaetz and the whole MAGA shit-show into an art form. His recent work trolling anti-choice protestors, anti-vaxxers and MAGA Republicans brilliantly captures the idiocy of the movement. Video footage that Walt shot while working on the frontlines during the January 6th insurrection has been instrumental in helping the FBI apprehend rioters who were stupid enough to brag about their crimes on tape! Walt's hilarious and insightful work has garnered him thousands of followers on multiple platforms and pro-democracy sites, like Patriot Takes and Meidas Touch. Walt's even brave enough to interact with users who both love and hate him on Twitch and Snapchat. Currently, he's crowdsourcing for his latest venture, “Trolling Conservatives Across America”. 

There are three core lies we all believe: “I'm worthless, I'm unlovable, and I'm helpless.” These beliefs can grow into strongholds that influence our thoughts and actions over time. Jennie Allen joins the Perrys to talk about how the enemy often makes lies like these feel rational and normal, and then we agree with the lies without realizing it. We need God's Word and the truth of the Gospel to help us fight them. Jennie's encouragement is that you are not especially broken because you believe lies. She says, “The reason the enemy comes for you is because you're loved. Because you love God and He loves you, that makes you a target. Don't let shame enter your story more than it already has.” Check out Jennie's new book, “The Lie You Don't Know You Need” https://www.amazon.com/Lie-You-Dont-Know-Believe/dp/1400249821 Follow @JennieAllen: https://www.instagram.com/jennieallen/ Scripture references: 1 John 1:5-7 Matthew 4:4-6 John 14:30 John 16:33 Ephesians 6:10-13 This Episode is Sponsored By: https://fieldofgreens.com — Get 20% off with promo code PERRY https://timtebow.com/tree-perry/ — Get your copy of If the Tree Could Speak by Tim Tebow on Amazon today! - Learn more about your ad choices.

Trying to have a conversation with your teenager? You ask how their day was and get "fine." You ask who was at the party and get "no one." You ask what they're doing and get "nothing." Sound familiar? In this episode, I'm sharing three powerful soundtracks from our Parents and Teens card deck that will help you start real conversations with your teenager. These aren't hypothetical parenting tips. I raised two teenagers, and these are straight from my own dinner table. You'll discover why "if you wouldn't say it to a friend, don't say it to yourself" teaches self awareness, how "this is my first time too" opens up vulnerability and deeper connection, and why teenagers need to think of their parents as "investors in YOU Inc." These conversation starters are natural, simple, and designed to help you move from quantity time to quality time. Because here's the reality: you don't get one deep conversation. You practice these cards over and over until card number seven or fourteen changes everything.In This Episode:Grab your very own Soundtracks Conversations Card Deck for Parents & Teens Make sure to follow me on Instagram and share with your friends!Keep up with my book list on GoodReads!Sign up for my newsletter, Try This!Book me to speak at your event or to your team!You can grab a copy of my book All It Takes Is a Goal from your favorite bookstore or at my website!Sign up for the Remarkable You Community today!

This live episode was recorded at the Eudemonia event and features a respectful, on-stage conversation about America's chronic disease crisis and why health has become so politicized. The panel explores root causes from both an individual and population-health lens, including ultra processed foods, stress, and social determinants of health. They discuss how dietary guidelines and school food policies get shaped, why nuance matters, and what changes actually move the needle. The conversation also tackles SNAP, food insecurity, and the debate around restrictions versus incentives. Finally, they address how trust in science can be damaged when complex systems are reduced to soundbites.

In this episode, we explore the long-debated mysteries surrounding Cleveland's most infamous mansion — Franklin Castle. Often called the most haunted house in Ohio, the towering stone castle on Franklin Boulevard has been surrounded by chilling legends for decades: secret passageways, mysterious deaths, and stories of restless spirits. But how much of the legend is actually true? Joining us is historian and author William G. Krejci, whose extensive research into the castle and the family who built it has helped separate fact from folklore. Krejci has spent years digging through historical records to uncover the real story behind the home built by German immigrant Hannes Tiedemann in the late 1800s. Together we discuss the origins of the castle's haunted reputation, the tragedies that struck the Tiedemann family, how rumors and media sensationalism shaped the modern legend, and what the historical record actually reveals about life inside the mansion. Is Franklin Castle truly one of America's most haunted houses—or is its dark reputation the product of a century of mythmaking? Join us as we uncover the history, mystery, and truth behind one of Cleveland's most fascinating landmarks.

Lisa Petty began her dance career in 1980s New York, intoxicated by the grime and flamboyant life of the city. She witnessed countless friends lose their lives to AIDS,  and the lessons she learned in closeness have stayed with her.As a young woman, Lisa Petty was visiting her aunt in a retirement home when she started to speak to the older people there about the role of wartime dance halls in their lives.These were stories of luminous intimacy. The old men and women's faces would light up as they remembered being close enough to attractive strangers to smell them, to move together with music, and to have a few hours reprieve from the stress of war.These stories inspired Lisa's masters studies and she moved to New York to pursue a career in dance.There, she found a friend soulmate in a man called Raymond, and they lived together for several years, before and after he became sick with AIDS.After Lisa returned to Melbourne, she left her dance career behind and began working as an intimacy and movement director, helping performers to channel their character's energy and translate that into the language of touch.Further informationThis episode was produced by Alice Moldovan. Conversations' Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison. It covers topics including intimacy, touch, single mum, AIDS, New York, Kaposi sarcoma, dance, intimacy co-ordinator, movement coach, theatre.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Third-party risk is no longer a background concern for healthcare organizations -- it is a frontline challenge. Jason Kor, Principal at HITRUST, works on the company's third-party risk management team, helping enterprises understand the security risk embedded in their supply chains. The numbers tell a stark story: according to Security Scorecard, 99% of the world's 2,000 largest companies are actively connected to a vendor that has experienced a breach in the past 18 months. And Verizon's Data Breach Investigations Report shows that the share of breaches tied to a third party has doubled year over year. HITRUST exists precisely to help organizations move from awareness to action. HITRUST will be at HIMSS 2026 in Las Vegas, March 9-12, at Booth 11307. Stop playing whack-a-mole with vendor risk -- step into the VR challenge and win prizes. For organizations already holding a HITRUST certification, the team has something else waiting: a trophy recognizing the commitment to independent, external audits and rigorous security standards. For those exploring certification for the first time, the booth is a chance to understand how HITRUST compares to alternatives like SOC 2 questionnaires -- and why scalability and risk reduction make it the stronger choice for supply chain assurance. Kor puts it plainly: the audits are time-consuming and expensive because they are effective. And at the end of the process, someone reads that report and makes real business decisions based on what it contains. Two major themes converge at this year's event: supply chain risk and AI. HITRUST has already launched an AI security assessment offering, and new CSF releases are on the horizon, including a report center feature enabling online review of assessments for anti-fraud and continuous monitoring purposes. On Tuesday, March 10, 2026, from 11:10 AM to 11:30 AM, Kor will deliver a 20-minute session titled "Understanding AI Security Risk -- The New Blind Spot in TPRM and Supply Chain Resilience." The session addresses a rapidly evolving challenge: as organizations build their own generative AI tooling -- or work with third parties that have integrated AI into their products -- questions around data sovereignty, input handling, and model provenance become critical, especially in healthcare where electronic health information is at stake. Also on the HIMSS 2026 agenda from HITRUST: Ryan Patrick, Executive Vice President of TPRM Customer Solutions, joins John P. Houston of UPMC and Chuck Christian of Franciscan Health for a Brunch Briefing titled "Building Secure, Compliant, and Resilient Healthcare Systems Together" on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, from 10:30 AM to 11:45 AM at Level 1, Casanova 505. The session offers practical strategies, frameworks, and real-world lessons for organizations looking to reduce risk, enhance protection, and advance trust in an evolving threat and regulatory landscape. This is a Brand Spotlight. A Brand Spotlight is a ~15 minute conversation designed to explore the guest, their company, and what makes their approach unique.
