Live from STUDIO G- in the heart of America- I'm STEVE GRUBER- saying the things you wish you could -every day-  fighting for you from the Foxhole of Freedom and defending this great nation-- this is THE STEVE GRUBER SHOW!   Here are 3 big things you need to know right now—   Number One— A freak of nature—is a gift for an Alabama woman—who was born with two uteruses—and is now expecting twins—one in each uterus—yes its one in 50 million—   Number Two— Another gag order imposed on Donald Trump may be getting booted—as it seems it might fall under the purview of that antiquated dusty old document called the Constitution and Freedom of Speech—   Number Three— We are going to take a look at some other things that are in the shadows that are going to create big problems for all of us—if they are not addressed and taken care of—   Lets start with the people that put food on our tables—the ones being attacked for their livestock and their fertilizer—the American farmers—   And the failures of Bidenomics are clear to all Americans—anyone who goes to any store today—and went to any store 3 years ago knows exactly what the truth is—   And the truth is—consumers are getting fleeced from terrible government policies on spending, energy and an influx of illegals gobbling up local resources—   And still they all reject the polling numbers that are dropping like a stone—I guess they only like the polls that show them doing well—the problem is right now—there is no such thing—   And all of this opens the door for even more candidates in the race for President—there are 5 already that look like they will be there on November 5th 2024—but more are on the way—

John Kosar, chief market strategist at Asbury Research says the current range-bound market is 'building up energy' and if the market can break through 4,200 on the Standard and Poor's 500, it is feasible that the market can reach new, record highs by the end of the year. But there is no clarity on the direction of the market, and if there is continued small-cap weakness and other trouble spots and the SP500 drops below 3,800 it could fall as low as 3,400 before any rally can start. Kosar notes that until the market shows more signs of clarity, he'd avoid betting on the direction of the market. Also on the show, Find Me the Money with forensic accountant Tracy Coenen focuses on how 'fair and honest' disclosure can't be taken for granted in many divorce cases, Chuck discusses the NASDAQ Composite officially exiting bear-market territory, and author Rob Cross, discusses 'The Microstress Effect: How Little Things Pile Up and Create Big Problems--and What to Do About It.'

Welcome to Season 5 of the Big Self Show, episode 122!We kick off this season with an exploration from a brand new release, The Microstress Effect, by Rob Cross and Karen Dillon. Conventional wisdom for coping with stress has often focused on finding ways to "steel" yourself to endure, through such practices as mindfulness and meditation. And recent research has highlighted the importance of relationships to our physical and mental well-being. We have probably heard that loneliness has been linked to cardiovascular disease, depression, anxiety and numerous other ailments. This is all important data, but hugely important in the scope of the work is to figure out what to do about and how to make life better here and now.Finding ways to identify and remove negative interactions can make a significant difference in your life.

When we hear the word "erosion" we tend to think of nature: water erosion, soil erosion, wind erosion. But much like the natural elements, daily stressors can wear us humans down too.   In this episode of Get Reworked, Karen Dillon and Rob Cross, co-authors of the book, "The Microstress Effect: How Little Things Pile Up and Create Big Problems — and What to Do about It," discuss how the incremental stresses we absorb every day are impacting our performance at work, our relationships and our lives.   "It just means that none of us are able to be our best selves. And we accept that we don't even think there's an alternative. That's what Rob's talking about with those interviews. The high-performers were successful from the outside perspective, but a lot of them were hanging on by a thread internally, and that cannot be the best performance," said Karen. Highlights of the conversation include: How we're all having our frog in the boiling water moment The three categories of microstresses How our workplace habits are adding to microstress What managers can do to minimize microstress for themselves and their teams What we can all do to reduce the impact of microstresses in our lives. Plus, host Siobhan Fagan talks with Rob and Karen about how our networks are part of the solution and how sometimes you just have to rise above. Listen in for more.

Small things add up. And, for the most part, that's a good thing. Like taking the stairs to get more exercise or swapping out something sugary for a piece of fruit. Over time, small actions like these can add up to a healthier lifestyle. Yet there are times when the small things that add up work against our well-being. Every time your boss shifts your priorities. Each time you have to cancel connecting with a friend. Rob Cross and Karen Dillon take a closer look at these moments in their book, Microstress: How Little Things Pile Up and Create Big Problems – and What to Do about It.

At the end of the day, have you ever felt exhausted and stressed, even though you can't think of a good reason why? Turns out, there's a cause after all—microstresses, small moments and interactions that fly under the radar of our fight-or-flight response, but which affect our body just as regular stress does.  Rob Cross and Karen Dillon conducted myriad interviews for their new book, The Microstress Effect, and found that “the stress we create inevitably boomerangs back on us in a different form, and so the less you create, the less you have coming back,” according to Cross. Now, Cross, Dillon and Brilliant Thoughts host Tristan Ahumada discuss how relationships affect your well-being, moments in which Cross and Dillon have taken action to push back against microstresses in their own lives and how we can build resilience and emotional reserves to deal with microstresses in our day-to-day life. ---- Mentioned: “The Secret to Building Resilience” “Harvard Study of Adult Development” Rob Cross and Karen Dillon are authors of THE MICROSTRESS EFFECT: How Little Things Pile Up and Create Big Problems—and What to Do about It.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
