In this episode of Authentically ADHD, Carmen peels back the curtain on Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome (CDS)—sometimes called Sluggish Cognitive Tempo—to reveal why so many of us with ADHD feel stuck in a fog of daydreams, slow processing, and low energy. After a quick, relatable anecdote about spacing out in a meeting (and the panic that follows), we dive into what CDS actually is: a cluster of symptoms that overlaps with ADHD but isn't the same thing. You'll learn how CDS shows up differently than classic inattentive ADHD—think mental “brakes,” mind-wandering marathons, and that overwhelming sense that your brain is running underwater.Next, we explore how CDS can silently sabotage work, relationships, and self-esteem. Carmen shares listener stories—like the person who's constantly five steps behind in conversations or the professional whose “slow load time” makes presentations feel like climbing Everest. We unpack the neuroscience in digestible terms: what brain networks are under-activated, how dopamine dysregulation plays a role, and why meds that help “hyperactive” ADHD often fall short for CDS symptoms.Finally, we shift to practical strategies. You'll walk away with at least three tangible tools to test—everything from micro-bursts of movement to reframing your to-do list in ultra-small steps and scheduling “CDS-friendly breaks” before burnout sets in. By the end, you'll understand that those moments of mental fog aren't personal failings but part of a hidden ADHD subprofile—and you'll have a roadmap for bringing more focus, energy, and self-compassion into your lifeShow Notes: IntroductionHello and welcome! Today, we're diving into a fascinating and often underrecognized topic: Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome, or CDS. If that name doesn't ring a bell, maybe its older label will — Sluggish Cognitive Tempo. (Yeah, I know, it sounds like an insult you'd hurl at a slow computer.) In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on what CDS really is, why it's not just “laziness” or ordinary daydreaming, and why experts say it deserves far more attention than it gets.Hook: Ever feel like your brain is running on dial-up internet in a high-speed world? You're trying to focus, but it's like there's a fog inside your head, and everything is moving in slow motion. Your thoughts wander off like they've got a mind of their own, and snapping back to reality is a bit like wading through molasses. If you're nodding along (or if someone you know comes to mind), you might be familiar with what we're talking about. And if you have ADHD or work with folks who do, you might have seen hints of this “slow-mo” attention state that often hides in plain sight.In this 25-30 minute episode, we'll cover: what exactly Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome is and its key symptoms (in plain, relatable language), how it overlaps with but isn't the same as ADHD, why it often gets misdiagnosed as something else (like depression or anxiety), and some practical, real-world tips for managing it. All of that with a professional tone and a little bit of sass — because learning should be engaging, right? So grab a coffee (you might need it for this topic!), and let's get started.What Is Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome (CDS)?All right, first things first: what on Earth is Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome? In a nutshell, CDS is a term that describes a unique set of attention symptoms — think of it as a “cousin” to ADHD, but with its own personality. It used to be known as “Sluggish Cognitive Tempo,” which frankly sounds like your brain is a slow turtle. No surprise, experts decided to rebrand it to something less snarky and more accurateen.wikipedia.orgmedvidi.com. Now we call it Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome, highlighting how the mind can seem to disengage from the task at hand.So what does CDS look like? Picture a person (child or adult) who is constantly drifting off into their own world. We're talking excessive daydreaming, blank staring, zoning out as if the lights are on but nobody's homeadditudemag.com. Their mind wanders like it's on an aimless road trip. They might appear mentally foggy, sluggish in their movements or thinking, and often slow to respond to what's happening around themedgefoundation.org. Folks with CDS often seem underactive – the opposite of hyperactive – and may be described as lethargic or low energy. You might notice them blinking awake as if they were literally about to nod off, even during activities that aren't boring for everyone else. In short, their alertness is inconsistent: one moment they're tuned in, but the next they've drifted away on a cloud of thoughtsedgefoundation.org.Another hallmark is being easily confused or mentally “fogged.” It's not that they can't understand things, but their processing speed is slow. Imagine trying to stream a video with a weak Wi-Fi signal – the content eventually comes through, but it lags. Similarly, a person with CDS might take longer to process information or retrieve memories, leading them to lose their train of thought oftenen.wikipedia.org. They might say, “Wait, what was I doing?” more times a day than they'd like.And here's a term researchers use that really nails it: being “internally distracted.” With classic ADHD, people are often pulled by external distractions (every noise, sight, or squirrel outside the window steals their attention). But with CDS, the distraction is coming from inside their own mind – an internal daydream or just a blank fog that is surprisingly hard to shakechadd.org. It's like their mind's “attention switch” is set to the off position when it should be on. They may appear withdrawn or apathetic, not because they don't care, but because their brain isn't fully engaging with what's in front of iten.wikipedia.org. This has led others to mislabel them as “lazy” or “not trying hard enough,” which is pretty unfair. In reality, CDS is a genuine attentional problem – one that's different from typical ADHD and definitely not a character flawpubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.Let me give you a relatable example: Think about those mornings when you just can't wake up, and you stumble around in a coffee-deprived haze. You pour orange juice into your coffee mug and put your car keys in the fridge – your brain just isn't firing on all cylinders. That's a bit what CDS feels like all day long for some people. They're awake, but there's a persistent grogginess or dreaminess that makes every mental task feel like lifting weights in Jell-O.Now, you might be wondering how common this is. Research suggests that CDS symptoms are not rare at all. In fact, it's estimated that a significant chunk of people with ADHD – up to 40% of kids, by some estimates – also experience these CDS-type symptomsadditudemag.com. And it's not just in kids. Adults can have CDS as well (even if they never knew it had a name). It's been observed in roughly one-third of adults diagnosed with inattentive ADHD, for exampleedgefoundation.org. There are even cases of people who only have CDS without the more classic ADHD traits – they might have gone through life just labeled as the “spacey” or quiet ones.One important note: CDS is not officially listed as a diagnosis in the DSM-5, the big manual of mental disordersadditudemag.com. That means your doctor won't find “Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome” as a formal label to bill your insurance. But don't let that fool you into thinking it's not real. The concept has been studied by psychologists for decades, and there's a consensus in recent research that these symptoms cluster together in a meaningful wayadditudemag.compubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. In other words, something is going on here beyond just normal variation in attention. So even if it's not an official diagnosis yet, many clinicians recognize CDS (or SCT) as a very useful description for patients who have this particular profile.To summarize this segment: CDS, formerly known as sluggish cognitive tempo, refers to a pattern of chronic daydreaming, mental fog, slow processing, and low initiative that can seriously affect daily life. It's like the brain's engine is always idling in neutral – not because the person is willfully tuning out, but because their brain's ability to engage is, for lack of a better word, sluggish. Now that we know what it is, let's talk about how this compares to a condition you've definitely heard of: ADHD.How Does CDS Overlap with and Differ from ADHD?If you listened to that description of CDS and thought, “Hmm, some of that sounds like ADHD,” you're absolutely right. CDS has a lot of overlap with ADHD, especially the inattentive type. Both involve problems with attention, forgetfulness, and maybe looking off into space when you're supposed to be working. In fact, for years CDS (back when it was called SCT) was thought of as possibly just a subtype of ADHD. Many people with ADHD do have some CDS symptoms and vice versaedgefoundation.org. But here's the kicker: modern research indicates that CDS and ADHD aren't identical – they're more like siblings than twinsen.wikipedia.org. They share some DNA, but each has its own quirks.Let's start with the obvious difference: hyperactivity (or rather, the lack of it). ADHD famously often comes with hyperactivity and impulsivity (at least in the combined or hyperactive-impulsive presentations). Those are the folks who are fidgeting, tapping, jumping out of their seats, acting on impulse – their internal motor runs fast. In contrast, people with pure CDS are the polar opposite of hyperactive. Remember, another term for this was “sluggish” cognitive tempo. Instead of bouncing off the walls, someone with CDS might be melting into the wall, so to speak – quiet, slow-moving, and passiveen.wikipedia.org. They're not blurting out answers in class; they're the ones who may not answer even when you call on them, because their mind was elsewhere. One researcher humorously noted it's like comparing a race car (ADHD) to a slow cruiser (CDS) – one's got too much go, the other not enough.Attention differences: Both ADHD and CDS involve attention problems, but the type of attention problem differs. Here's a way to think about it: people with ADHD can engage their attention quickly but struggle to sustain it, especially if something isn't interesting – their attention is like a spotlight that flickers on exciting things but then fizzles outen.wikipedia.org. On the other hand, people with CDS have trouble even getting that spotlight to turn on and lock onto the target in the first placeen.wikipedia.org. It's as if the brain's ignition switch is delayed. Once they do focus, they might actually be able to stick with it a bit (especially if it's something captivating), but the hard part is that initial spark of attention. An ADHD student might start their homework and then get distracted by 10 different thoughts and leave it unfinished, whereas a CDS student might sit down to do the homework and spend 30 minutes in a haze, kind of staring at the page not even knowing where to begin. Both end up with not much done, but the mental experience is different.Another difference is processing speed and accuracy. ADHD folks can often think quickly (sometimes too quickly, leading to impulsive mistakes). But someone with CDS processes information more slowly and may be prone to more mistakes because their attention to detail is decoupled or laggingen.wikipedia.orgen.wikipedia.org. Think of it this way: if an ADHD brain is like a flashy smartphone that sometimes loses signal, a CDS brain might be like an older phone that has a constant delay – slower to open apps and occasionally freezes on a screen. Both might drop your call (metaphorically speaking) but for different technical reasons.Memory and retrieval can also feel different. ADHD's inattention often looks like forgetfulness due to distraction (you didn't remember the meeting because you were busy thinking about five other things). In CDS, forgetfulness might come from that fog – the information just never fully registered or gets stuck behind a mental cloud. People with CDS often say they feel like they have a “brain fog” or that they're in a constant daydream, which isn't typically how someone with classic ADHD would describe their attention (they might say theirs is like a ping-pong ball bouncing around).Now let's talk mood and motivation overlaps. ADHD is frequently linked with externalizing behaviors – meaning, some with ADHD might have impulsive anger outbursts, act without thinking, maybe develop conduct issues, or lean toward thrill-seeking. CDS, conversely, is more often linked with internalizing tendencies: anxiety, shyness, even depressive feelingsen.wikipedia.orgen.wikipedia.org. Why? Possibly because being in a fog and struggling quietly can dent your self-esteem or make social life harder, leading to withdrawal. A kid with ADHD might be the class clown or the one getting in trouble; a kid with CDS is more likely to be the wallflower in class who barely says a word. Studies consistently find that CDS-prone individuals are often socially withdrawn and shy, sometimes getting overlooked or ignored by peersen.wikipedia.org. People might think they're aloof or uninterested, but in reality the person is just slow to respond and not catching the fast-paced flow of conversationen.wikipedia.org. Meanwhile, ADHD kids are hard to ignore – they demand attention, sometimes in not-so-great ways, and can get actively rejected due to disruptive behavioren.wikipedia.org. So, socially, one tends to be invisible (CDS) and the other too visible (ADHD).There's also an interesting personality distinction noted in research: ADHD is often associated with being reward-seeking and novelty-loving, whereas CDS might come with a higher sensitivity to punishment or a tendency to avoid risksen.wikipedia.org. It's like ADHD is always pressing the gas pedal looking for something fun, and CDS is hovering over the brake, worried about making a wrong move. This could be one reason we see less rule-breaking behavior in CDS – those individuals aren't the ones typically running toward trouble; if anything, they're stuck trying to remember what the next step was.Neuroscience angle (in lay terms): We won't get too technical here, but it's worth noting that scientists suspect the brain mechanisms differ between these two conditions. ADHD is often tied to issues with executive functions and inhibitory control (trouble stopping impulses, difficulty with the brain's “braking system”). CDS seems to be more about a deficit in starting and sustaining cognitive engagement – maybe a lower general arousal or alertness level in the brain. One theory is that different attention networks are involved: ADHD involves circuits that sustain attention and inhibit distractions, whereas CDS might involve circuits that initiate and regulate alertness. From a neurotransmitter perspective, ADHD famously involves dopamine irregularities; with CDS, some researchers wonder if there's a component of the brain's arousal system (possibly a norepinephrine angle, since alertness is at issue) – but the jury's still out. Alright, science hat off now! The key takeaway is that the inattentiveness in CDS qualitatively feels different from the garden-variety ADHD distractibilityen.wikipedia.org.Before we leave this section, it's important to mention: a person can have both ADHD and CDS symptoms together (this is actually pretty common, as we noted earlier). If ADHD is the cake, think of CDS as a flavor of icing that can coat it for some people. Those are the folks who might be especially struggling – for example, they have the hyperactivity or impulsivity of ADHD and the foggy drifting of CDS. On the flip side, there are some who just have one or the other. The overlap has made it a bit tricky in the past for doctors to decide, “Is this a new condition or just part of ADHD?” But recent consensus leans toward CDS being its own construct, not just “ADHD-lite.” In fact, a large meta-analysis of around 19,000 people found that ADHD symptoms and CDS symptoms, while often co-occurring, do factor out as distinct inattention patternsmedvidi.com. So, think of them like two circles in a Venn diagram: they overlap in the middle (many people have both), but each also has an area that doesn't overlap – unique features that the other doesn't share.In summary, ADHD and Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome are like two different flavors of attention deficit. ADHD is the high-speed, impulsive, “lots of oomph but hard to control” flavor, and CDS is the slow, dreamy, “low oomph, hard to get going” flavor. Both can make school, work, and life challenging, but in distinct ways. Understanding these differences isn't just academic – it matters because it affects how someone feels inside, and it can guide different approaches to help them. And speaking of that, why is it that so many people with CDS have been flying under the radar or getting mislabeled? That brings us to our next segment.Why Is CDS Often Misdiagnosed (or Missed Entirely)?Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome has been called an “underrecognized” condition – and for good reason. It's like the introvert at the party of mental health conditions: quiet, not drawing attention to itself, and often misunderstood. Let's unpack why so many people with CDS get misdiagnosed or overlooked, often as having something else like ADHD, depression, or anxiety.One big reason is history and awareness. Until recently, most clinicians and educators didn't have CDS on their radar at all. If a child was struggling to pay attention, the go-to thought would be “this might be ADHD” (or if the child was very quiet and slow, maybe “this kid is depressed or has an anxiety issue”). Sluggish Cognitive Tempo, as a term, has been around for decades in research, but it never made it into the official diagnostic manualsstatnews.com. So unlike ADHD, which every teacher, parent, or doctor has heard of, SCT/CDS has kind of been the forgotten step-sibling of ADHD. A lot of professionals simply weren't taught about it. This means a kid showing these symptoms might get an ADHD-inattentive type diagnosis by default, or if they don't tick enough ADHD boxes, they might just be shrugged off as a “daydreamer” or mischaracterized as having low motivation.Symptom overlap is another culprit. As we discussed, there's a ton of overlap between inattentive ADHD and CDS. That overlapping 30-50% of cases can be confusingen.wikipedia.org. Many clinicians historically would have just said “well, it's basically ADHD” and not bother with a separate label. The downside? If it is CDS, the subtleties (like the constant drowsiness or internal thought-wandering) might not be addressed by standard ADHD strategies or medications. But if no one's distinguishing it, the person might just be lumped under ADHD and left wondering why some typical ADHD advice doesn't quite fit them.Now, consider how CDS presents behaviorally: these individuals usually aren't causing trouble. They're not hyper or defiant; if anything, they're too well-behaved but mentally absent. Teachers love that they're not disruptive, so they might not refer them for evaluation as quickly as the kid who won't stay in his seat. A student with CDS might sit quietly in the back, half-listening, half in La-La Land. They could be struggling massively internally, but because they're not jumping on desks or failing every test, it slides under the radar. They often get comments like “needs to pay more attention” or “so bright, but doesn't apply themselves” on report cards – sound familiar to anyone? Those kinds of comments are classic for undiagnosed attention issues that don't fit the loud ADHD stereotype.Another reason for misdiagnosis is the similarity to depression or anxiety symptoms. Think about it: if someone is consistently sluggish, low-energy, apathetic, and staring off, a clinician might immediately consider depression. In fact, lethargy and concentration problems are key symptoms of depression as well. Anxiety, especially in kids, can sometimes look like zoning out or being “in their head” worrying. So, it's easy to see how a person with CDS might get diagnosed with an anxiety disorder or depression when the core issue is actually this attention disengagement problem (though to complicate matters, the person could also be anxious or depressed – those can co-occur). There's evidence of a strong link between CDS symptoms and internalizing disorders like anxiety/depressioncogepderg.com, which means clinicians really have to tease apart: is the daydreaming because of depression? Or is the depression developing because the person is always struggling and feeling out of sync? It can be a chicken-and-egg situation.Misinterpretation by others adds to the mess. Earlier I mentioned people with CDS might be seen as aloof or unmotivated. Let's double down on that: friends, family, and even doctors can wrongly attribute the behavior to character traits. A child who doesn't respond quickly or seems “out of it” might get labeled as lazy, shy, or even oppositional (when they don't follow instructions, not out of defiance but because their mind wandered off). One heartbreaking example comes from a real story: a teenage girl was so quiet and zoned out in class that teachers literally marked her as absent when she was right there in her seatstatnews.com. Can you imagine? She was physically present but so mentally checked-out due to CDS that she might as well have been invisible. For years she and her parents thought her issues were just from anxiety and depression. It wasn't until she stumbled on the term “sluggish cognitive tempo” in an old psych report that things clickedstatnews.comstatnews.com. Suddenly, the excessive daydreaming, the brain fog – it all made sense as a distinct thing. But it took that long for anyone to connect the dots, because the default assumptions were other diagnoses.There's also a bit of controversy in the professional community that has affected recognition. Some experts have criticized the push to make CDS an official diagnosis, arguing that it might pathologize normal traits or that it's just a fragment of ADHD or other disordersedgefoundation.orgstatnews.com. They worry about overdiagnosis – like, are we going to start labeling every dreamy kid with a disorder? Are pharma companies just looking for the next condition to medicate? These are valid concerns, and it's good that scientists are cautious. However, the flip side is that by not recognizing CDS, people who truly suffer from it might not get the specific help they need. It's a fine line. The consensus that has emerged is that while we're debating the labels, the symptoms are very real and can be seriously impairingedgefoundation.org. So misdiagnosis happens both ways: some get diagnosed with something else incorrectly, and some don't get diagnosed with anything at all – they're just “undiagnosed and unhappy.”Finally, the nature of CDS itself can fool clinicians. Since these folks often have some degree of attention capacity (for example, they might do okay in one-on-one situations or when very interested in a topic), their issue might not scream “attention disorder” in a short doctor's visit. They might not report the hyperactive symptoms (because they have none), so if the practitioner isn't well-versed in SCT, they might not recognize that a pattern of lifelong “dreaminess” is a sign of an attention-related condition. In adults, this is even trickier: an adult who complains of brain fog might get checked for thyroid problems, anemia, sleep apnea, etc., and if all those are negative, the fatigue and fog might be attributed to stress or depression. Rarely does a doctor say, “Hey, could this be that thing called cognitive disengagement syndrome?” – at least not yet, since awareness is still growing.The result of misdiagnosis or missing the diagnosis? People can go years thinking they're just bad at life or “lazy.” They internalize a lot of negative self-talk. A kid might grow up being scolded for daydreaming, a teen might get told “you just need to try harder,” and an adult might wonder why they can't seem to hold onto their thoughts in meetings when everyone else manages fine. It can be frustrating and demoralizing. Some individuals end up on treatments that don't fully help – for instance, they might be given stimulant medication for ADHD and find that, while it might boost focus a bit, it doesn't magically clear the fog like it does for a classic ADHD caseadditudemag.com. Or they might be on antidepressants that help mood but not their spacing-out episodes.The bottom line here is that CDS often flies under the radar. Its sufferers might get diagnosed with something more obvious or nothing at all. The condition is underrecognized in both the medical field and public awareness. That's why one of my goals today (and the reason you're still listening) is to shine a light on it. Because once you do recognize it, you can start doing something about it – which is exactly what we'll talk about next.Up to now, we've painted a pretty challenging picture – brain fog, misdiagnoses, feeling overlooked. But don't worry: this isn't all doom and gloom. In the next segment, we're switching gears to something more empowering: practical tips and strategies. If you or someone you care about is dealing with CDS (or heck, even if you just relate to some of this foggy focus stuff), what can be done? How can you manage these symptoms and make life a bit easier? Let's explore that.Practical Tips for Managing CDSAlright, let's roll up our sleeves and get practical. Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome can make everyday tasks feel like you're swimming upstream, but there are ways to manage it and improve your day-to-day functioning. Whether you're an adult with CDS, a parent or teacher of someone who has it, or just someone listening along for knowledge, these tips will be helpful. We're going to cover a mix of lifestyle habits, strategies, and supports – essentially, how to give that “sluggish” brain a bit of a tune-up or workaround. Think of it as creating an environment where your brain's engine has some extra help turning over. Let's break down some strategies:* Prioritize Sleep and Healthy Habits: This one's not glamorous, but it's huge. Since people with CDS often feel drowsy or low-energy, getting consistent, quality sleep is vital. Poor sleep will only pour molasses on an already sluggish cognitive tempo. Aim for a regular sleep schedule and good sleep hygiene (yes, that means putting down the phone at night and maybe actually going to bed on time, a tough ask, I know!). Also, pay attention to diet and exerciseedgefoundation.org. Physical activity can temporarily boost alertness – even a brisk walk or a few jumping jacks when you're feeling foggy can restart the engine. Eating balanced meals and staying hydrated helps too (blood sugar crashes or dehydration can worsen that spaced-out feeling). Some folks find that a bit of caffeine in moderation helps shake off the cobwebs, but be careful not to overdo it, especially if you also have anxiety. Think of healthy habits as the foundation; they won't eliminate CDS, but they raise your baseline energy and brain health, giving you a fighting chance on those heavy-brain-fog days.* Use External Structures to Stay On Track: If the issue is that your brain disengages internally, one solution is to bring in external engagement. This means using tools and routines to keep you anchored to tasks. For example, timers and alarms can be your best friend. Set a timer for, say, 10 minutes and tell yourself, “I'll work on this task until the timer rings, then I can pause.” Often, just that little auditory cue and the knowledge of a break coming can help you initiate a task. Visual reminders are great too – post-it notes in key places, a big wall calendar, or phone reminders that pop up with messages like “Hey, are you on task?

In this episode, I share my thoughts on the evolving meaning of “rewilding” my illustration process. Originally, rewilding meant bringing analog elements back into my work—inking on paper, scanning textures, doing things the “hard” way. But lately, I've been asking myself: is it really about going analog? Or is it about something deeper? In this episode, I unpack how rewilding is less about tools and more about mindset. I look at how digital tools can either suffocate or support our creativity, depending on how we use them.

Cues are the small signals that we give and pick up that have a big impact. The head tilt, the smile, the open-palmed gesture – they all carry meaning that people intuitively understand. And if you've ever felt misunderstood, overlooked, or underestimated, you can change that by using the right cues. Everything from the way you walk into a room to how you stand, your choice of words to your intonation, can affect how people perceive you. Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I'll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests. Today's clip is from episode 254 of the podcast with an expert in body language and nonverbal communication, the wonderful Vanessa Van Edwards. Her book Cues: Master the Secret Language of Charismatic Communication is packed with practical tools and exercises to help you understand more about others – and communicate your own ideas with warmth and competence. Vanessa likes to introduce herself as a ‘recovering awkward person'. She certainly doesn't come across as awkward anymore; in fact, she exudes confidence and charisma. In this clip, she shares how to discover your unique “flavour” of confidence and how small changes in your body language could create big shifts in how you're perceived.

While the dream of working more physically is alive and well, the reality is a lot more complicated.

Aurorah is an artist, writer, and producer who has been a dedicated student of Western astrology since 2008, bringing her knowledge to life through her podcast, Blood Moon Milk, launched in 2018. Unlike many astrologers, Aurorah is known for her refusal to write conventional horoscopes. Instead, she offers a fresh perspective through her daily email newsletter, The Daily Dose. In it, she distills years of astrological wisdom into digestible insights, helping readers stay attuned to cosmic energies before they unfold, designed to be read in the morning over coffee. Western astrologers have been observing both the skies and human behavior for thousands of years and have left archival data of their observations. This data is based on observed events during cyclical planetary movements that have been cataloged since the Phonecian times. Today astrologers can use historical data to give predictions based on historical events paired with planetary positions to help divine the future before it unfolds. But Aurorah understands that astrology is more than just predictions; it's a powerful tool for personal growth.She champions the subtle benefits of using lunar cycles as a guide for mindfulness, meditation, and manifestation. By aligning with the moon's phases, her approach encourages individuals to sset goals, remain flexible and resilient in the face of challenges, and urges her audience to seize opportunities with a heightened awareness of their consciousness when they arise. She adapts ancient astrological knowledge from the esoteric into a practical, down-to-earth advantage for everyday life. She believes this pause for reflection is meaningful globally, as a more mindful world is a more peaceful world with more opportunities for abundance for all. www.bloodmoonmilk.com@bloodmoonmilk ( Instagram)aurorah@bloodmoonmilk.comMaster of Your Crafts is a captivating podcast featuring conversations with individuals who have dedicated themselves to mastering their craft.

Keith Buchanan points to "very critical levels" on the 10 & 30-year yields putting pressure on risk-on assets. He adds that his approach is to pull back some risk in equities, with valuation concerns in large-cap growth names. Keith says he's "taking our cues from the fixed income market." He adds the apparent pressure point on the 4.5% & 5% levels for the 10 & 30-year yields respectively, and cites the Trump Administration's focus on those points as significant roles in their tariff negotiations.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
The length of time we spend working a project often depends on the strength of our projecting game – particularly what we do on those important working attempts. Many of us either keep working things when we should have sent weeks ago, or we cut off the working goes and start redpoint attempts way too early. The best climbers put themselves into send position with fewer working attempts, and know when they are ready to get it done. So the question is: How can we make better use of our working goes and send hard things faster? _________________________

Message From Susan Hey everyone, it's Susan, and you're about to hear one of my training tips and tidbits. These are quick, actionable strategies to help you and your dog in everyday life or for dog sport. Often our short videos with tips are created from your most popular segments of podcast episodes. So, let's dive in! The 5P Test: How To Tell If Your Dog REALLY Understands Their Cues! Wondering how to tell if your dog really understands their cues?

It's time to visit a favorite topic from the archives! Sonia C. has noticed a lot of her clients struggle with their body's natural energy. As empaths and naturally sensitive people, we have to really be connected to our physical body or else our own spirit shuts down and we won't be able to hear the important messages coming through. This week's theme is: Keep grounded by listening to your body. Highlights: Sonia T. knows if she doesn't move her body, her spirit gets squeezed out. [1:20] How does Sabrina stay grounded with her body? [3:00] Sonia C. knows when she takes care of herself, she can better filter other people's opinions out. [4:15] Sonia C. has learned that she can't work every day, she has to go outside, and she needs to be connected to the earth. [10:00] What self-care activities help the ladies keep grounded? [16:45] How do you stay grounded when you have such a fast-paced and busy day? [23:00] If you're more reactive to stressful energy, try a walk-and-talk meeting. [27:45] When you're grounded, you start minding your own business! [37:40] Tool of the Week: Reorient your day around the practices that connect with your body. [39:10] Question of the week: How does one determine if they are a farbissina? And if I am one, how do I change? [42:20] Sonia T. knows that if she doesn't move or have a physical connection with her body, not only does her spirit suffer but it has a direct effect on her ability to connect with her higher powers. As sensitive people, we get saturated with other people's energy and if you do not take time to ground yourself, then that's the start of the cookie crumbling. Taking care of yourself physically is the most important thing you can do to live an intuitive life. Empaths need grounding! Sabrina has seen the negative impacts of an ungrounded intuitive. In fact, they actually end up overdoing things that come out through bad habits, like shopping, overconsumption of food, and more. However, if you take care of your inner needs, a lot of these external self-soothing strategies will subside. Tool of the Week: Reorient your day around the practices that connect with your body. Question of the Week: How does one determine if they are a farbissina? And if I am one, how do I change?

What to listen for:"To truly understand your dog, embrace the power of observation, question the environment, and engage with the nuances of their behavior."Our hosts, Robin Greubel, Crystal Wing, and Stacy Barnett, take a deep dive into the role of critical thinking for handlers.We've all been there—reading a viral dog training post and feeling an emotional gut-punch, or second-guessing ourselves after watching a training video. We need to learn to slow down, analyze, and ask better questions. Robin emphasizes watching videos without sound to assess the clarity of intent. Crystal introduces her favorite training reflection game: pause and predict. And Stacy reflects on how questioning cues—like saying “drop”—led to big lightbulb moments in her own training.Our hosts share how truly understanding what (and why) you're training builds better habits and stronger bonds between handler and dog. Whether it's breaking down complex skills like a retrieve into more manageable pieces or recognizing how forward motion might unintentionally reinforce barking, it's all about peeling back the layers.The Dames of Detection look into how fear-based language can cloud judgment, and how to filter training advice by considering the source, the context, and your own dog's needs. Crystal encourages following trainers with different views to stretch your thinking. Robin adds that respectful, private conversations often lead to deeper clarity than public debates.Most importantly, critical thinking is a skill, not a fixed trait. Like any skill, it improves with practice. So whether you're evaluating a post, adjusting a cue, or watching your dog's body language, stay curious. Be open. Ask questions.In the end, sharper thinking leads to stronger training, and your dog feels the difference.Key Topics:“What Exactly Are You Training in This Video?” (00:00)Focus on the Message You're Trying to Teach (08:55)What Stops Trainers from Thinking Critically? (14:46)The Problem with Fear-Based Training (19:14)What Happens to Your Dog Training Without Critical Thinking?

Most SaaS companies hit growth plateaus, and too many founders assume the problem is either unsolvable or too complex to fix. In reality, that's rarely true. In this episode of In Demand, Asia and Kim unpack how to shift your mindset from "This can't be solved" to "Who's already solved this, and how can I learn from them?" They also introduce CUES, a prioritization framework that helps you focus on the right growth ideas instead of spinning your wheels. Got a question you'd like Asia to unpack on the podcast? Record a voicemail here. Chapters (00:00:55) - Why founders often treat growth problems like they're unsolvable.(00:05:22) - There are a lot of founders creating pain for themselves by trying to reinvent the wheel.(00:08:02) - Almost every single growth problem has been solved before, you just need to find the people who did it.(00:09:00) - Books, articles, and experts: where to actually look for answers.(00:14:10) - Learning enough to get started and putting your knowledge into practice.(00:19:15) - One of the things founders need to be able to do at a high level is understand trade offs.(00:24:00) - What does the process look like for troubleshooting growth?(00:25:00) - What net revenue retention tells you and how to find and use it in ProfitWell.(00:34:00) - Spotting the levers: activation, positioning, and pricing.(00:39:00) - Prioritization traps: why common frameworks like ICE often fail.(00:42:55) - Try CUES instead: Confidence, Understanding, Ease, and Speed.(00:55:05) - Recapping what was covered on this episode.

In this episode, I outline the transformative journey that yoga teachers go through, from their basic training to mastering advanced therapeutic practices. I introduce what I call the "second arc" of development, where I break down five stages that help enhance skills in biomechanics, nervous system awareness, and therapeutic problem-solving. I emphasize the importance of moving beyond a rigid, rules-based approach to teaching and instead adopting a more intuitive, collaborative style. I encourage teachers to hone their observational skills, adapt their practices, and embrace the complexities of teaching to create a supportive and empowering environment for both teachers and students.
Episode #204 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan Ramos answers some of your fasting questions: 1. On eating days I almost always feel very full. I try to make my meal portions smaller but I still feel full. I don't seem to feel hunger cues on eating days nor fasting days. Have 20 years of dieting broken my body? My usual fasting protocol is three 36s, lately, two 42s. (Ewelina) [01:34] 2. I've read on some of the PCOS blogs that you shouldn't skip breakfast because it balances your blood sugar, but I find it harder to meet my fasting goals when I eat breakfast. Is this a reference to early, time-restricted eating? Is it better to meet the fasting goal of longer fasts or to consume the meals earlier in the day? [04:45] 3. How do I not lose much more weight with extended fasts for autophagy? I am 71 and have lost 44 pounds over an 8-month period (1 pound on most weeks, never more). I have loose skin on my arms, belly, and legs, and I am looking older than I ever have! I will be doing 24-hour fasts to maintain my weight loss. (Anne) [09:47] 4. I started doing the 42-hour extended fasts (sometimes three a week, sometimes two) to switch it up. I'm not losing weight or inches. What am I doing wrong?

In this episode, I share my conversation with Roberts Rurans, a Latvia-based illustrator who creates all his work using traditional materials — literally painting his images with acrylics. When Roberts talks about his brushes, he means the actual ones lying on his table, not virtual tools in a menu! His process is physical, full of quirks, accidents, and unexpected moments — and yet, his work feels fresh and totally at home in today's digital illustration landscape.Roberts has worked with clients like Hermès, Nike, Apple, and Coca-Cola, but his artistic integrity shines through no matter the project. In our conversation, we talk about evolving your style, the tension between old and new work, the difference between art and design, and what it's really like to work 100% analog in a mostly digital world.Toward the end, Roberts answers questions submitted by my Patreon supporters — including whether he secretly uses any digital tools (you'll have to listen to find out). I wrap things up with some community notes and another “Embarrassing Story of the Episode,” featuring me, a trail run, some hikers caught unawares, and a well-placed band-aid.IN THIS EPISODEHow Roberts Rurans keeps his fully analog style feeling freshThoughts on evolving your style without disowning the pastThe line between art and design in illustrationAnalog tools vs. digital tools — which gives you the edge?PLUS - Embarrassing Moment of the Episode: Shirtless in the ForestSHOW LINKSRoberts Rurans on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/robertsruransRoberts's website – https://www.robertsrurans.comHOW TO SUPPORTShare this episode with your friends!Like/Subscribe/Follow/Comment/ReviewBecome a $3 Supporter or $8 Drawing Buddy on Patreon.

In this episode of Grumpy Old Geeks, we're serving up a buffet of dystopia with a side of snark. First, Kuwait has finally realized crypto bros are an energy drain, not a feature. Celsius Network's founder gets 12 years for running a “safe investment” Ponzi scheme. And in Lopez v. Apple, we find yet another reason to question Cupertino's moral compass.Then it's time for a trip through the tech trash fire. DoorDash gobbles up Deliveroo, proving there's no such thing as too many overpriced salads. Google wants your kids to befriend Gemini—because what could go wrong giving tweens supervised AI access? Tesla's “Robotaxi” trademark gets the boot for being as generic as Elon's pickup lines. Meanwhile, Grok strips in public, deepfake porn sites get the axe, and dating app “Raw” rawdogs user data like it's the early 2000s internet. We also hit peak Black Mirror with brain-typed tweets, AI-resurrected relatives, and crypto kidnappers playing real-life GTA.On Media Candy, the streaming overlords dump trailers like Halloween candy. Squid Game is back to traumatize you, Star Trek: Lower Decks keeps boldly going where no animated series should, and The Old Guard 2 teases a Theron-vs-Thurman sword fight. Plus, Apple's UX team found the “enhance” button, Netflix wants to be helpful (lol), and Google dreams of becoming a Hollywood darling. Over in Apps & Doodads, Apple wants to stagger iPhone drops, Disney sells you a $3,000 droid with zero sass, and Smart Flowerpots are now a thing because apparently, you can't be trusted to water your plant.And finally, it's time for The Dark Side with Dave, where Bittner brings us malware, click tracks, fake vocals, and the shocking truth about KISS's lipsync disaster in Antwerp. We also dip into ILM's jaw-dropping legacy, Star Wars' shady back alleys, and a new Disneyland in Abu Dhabi, because nothing says “happiest place on Earth” like 120°F desert heat.

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes breaks down the psychology behind patient communication, case acceptance, and building trust through ethical persuasion. He emphasizes the importance of empathy—especially when patients share negative past experiences—and explains why you should never throw a colleague under the bus. Instead, focus on making the patient feel heard and understood. Dr. Costes introduces the "Oregon vs. Oregon Trail" concept, illustrating how to sell patients on the outcome, not the painful process. He also explores the impact of personal financial biases on treatment presentations and why true conviction is essential in getting patients to say "yes" to necessary care. Plus, he dives into the art of conversation, identifying common pitfalls like the interrupter, the one-upper, and the conversational narcissist—and how to avoid becoming one yourself.
