Idolatry is powerfully attractive, but at the same time it is deeply offensive to God. How should we treat the idols of our hearts?

In this special episode, you will be learning from two leading powerhouses in Occupational Therapy leadership, Samia Rafeedie, Samia H. Rafeedie, OTD, OTR/L, BCPR, CBIS, FAOTA (OTAC) on a state level and Arameh Anvarizadeh, OTD, OTR/L, FAOTA (AOTA) on the national level. We will learn about their experiences at the AOTA Hill Day event in Washington D.C., where occupational therapy practitioners meet with legislators to advocate for the profession. Both leaders shared their motivations for participating, with Samia highlighting her roles as an OTAC president and professor at USC, while Arameh emphasized her experience as AOTA president and the importance of collective advocacy in areas like mental health, school-based services, telehealth, and Medicare. We are so fortunate to witness our state and national associations in collaboration for OT Representation on Capitol Hill. You will know exactly what I mean when you listen to this energizing episode. Samia H. Rafeedie, OTD, OTR/L, BCPR, CBIS, FAOTADr. Samia Rafeedie is the Director of the Professional Program in Occupational Therapy at the University of Southern California (USC), and professor of clinical occupational therapy. She has been on the faculty since 2008 and has primarily taught adult physical rehabilitation, kinesiology, and topics on professional development and association engagement. Samia has been an occupational therapist for 24 years, with additional practice interests in productive aging and geriatrics, pedagogy and higher education, mentorship, and volunteerism. She is the President of the Occupational Therapy Association of California, and is invested in strengthening the association by recruiting and maintaining members. Some of her favorite occupations include spending time with my family, taking trips together and going out to eat for Japanese food (our favorite!). She also LOVES volunteering for our state association. It fills her cup!Arameh Anvarizadeh, OTD, OTR/L, FAOTADr. Arameh Anvarizadeh is a Professor of Clinical Occupational Therapy and former Director of Admissions at the USC Mrs. T.H. Chan Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy. As the architect of USC Chan's holistic admissions process, She led transformative efforts that resulted in the most diverse cohorts in the Division's history—all while preserving rigorous and effective admissions standards. Her leadership has also been pivotal in strengthening recruitment and retention strategies, creating pathway programs, and promoting inclusive pedagogy. A Founding Member and former Chair of the Coalition of Occupational Therapy Advocates for Diversity (COTAD), Dr. Anvarizadeh has been a driving force in advancing justice, equity, diversity, inclusion, anti-racism, and anti-oppression within the occupational therapy profession. She is the visionary behind many of COTAD's cornerstone initiatives, including COTAD Chapters, the COTAD Toolkit, the Ignite Series, and the Fieldwork Task Force. Dr. Anvarizadeh made history as the youngest and the first Black and Iranian woman to serve as Vice President of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) and to be inducted into the prestigious Roster of Fellows (FAOTA). She made history again with her landslide election as AOTA President, a role she officially assumed in July 2025. In addition to her current role as AOTA President, Dr. Anvarizadeh has held numerous national leadership positions, including Chair of the Credential Review and Accountability Committee (CRAC), member of the Representative Assembly Leadership Committee (RALC), member of the Governance Task Force, and liaison between the Governance and DEI Task Forces. She also served on the AOTA Special Task Force on Entry-Level Education and was a key contributor to the national dialogue on entry-level degree requirements.

She has authored multiple peer-reviewed articles and book chapters and is a contributing editor to the recently published book Occupational Identity. Most recently, Dr. Anvarizadeh is embracing her most meaningful role yet: motherhood. She is intentional about honoring this life shift, leaning into her community, and nurturing balance. Deeply passionate about building sustainable, healthy, and inclusive communities, she continues to champion equity, empowerment, and advocacy. Through her work and heart-centered leadership, she inspires others to discover, cultivate, and amplify their fullest potential.Resources:AOTA's website on Advocacy Issues: https://www.aota.org/advocacy/issuesThe Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA)https://www.cms.gov/marketplace/private-health-insurance/mental-health-parity-addiction-equity Here is a link from AOTA about this: https://www.aota.org/advocacy/advocacy-news/2025/occupational-therapy-mental-health-parity-act-reintroduced-in-houseLegislators and Senators:Timothy Kennedy https://kennedy.house.gov/Lucy McBath https://mcbath.house.gov/Adam Schiff https://www.schiff.senate.gov/Lateefah Simon https://simon.house.gov/Sydney Kamlager-Dove https://kamlager-dove.house.gov/ AOTA PAC https://www.aota.org/advocacy/political-action-committeeOTAC PAC https://www.otaconline.org/advocacy/political-action-committeeAB 1009 https://www.otaconline.org/advocacy/school-based-practice-credential-initiativeAs always, I welcome any feedback & ideas from all of you or if you are interested in being a guest on future episodes, please do not hesitate to contact Patricia Motus at transitionsot@gmail.com or DM via Instagram @transitionsotTHANK YOU for LISTENING, FOLLOWING, DOWNLOADING, RATING, REVIEWING & SHARING “The Uncommon OT Series” Podcast with all your OTP friends and colleagues!Full Episodes and Q & A only available at:https://www.wholistic-transitions.com/the-uncommon-ot-seriesSign Up NOW for the Transitions OT Email List to Receive the FREEUpdated List of Uncommon OT Practice Settingshttps://www.wholistic-transitions.com/transitionsotTo Add Your Profile to The Uncommon OT Directory:https://www.wholistic-transitions.com/requestFor Non-Traditional OT Practice Mentorship w/ Patricia:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeC3vI5OnK3mLrCXACEex-5ReO8uUVPo1EUXIi8FKO-FCfoEg/viewformHappy Listening Friends!

The families of three New Zealanders detained as part of the Gaza protest flotilla say they deeply admire them - but are also deeply worried. Youssef Sammour, Rana Hamida and Samuel Leason were detained by Israeli troops last week after their boat tried to cross an Israeli blockade of Gaza as part of an international flotilla. Their families have been speaking at a media conference today, calling on the government to help them and their cause. Rowan Quinn reports.

Conversation is at the heart of our gatherings in The Loft; it's how we worship. On this final Sunday of our Loft 101 series, we focus on a well-known story from John's gospel, where Jesus engages in a conversation with a Samaritan woman at Jacob's well. Deeply embedded in scripture, this story shows us a model for how conversation can be central to our community. Join us this Sunday as Rev. Dr. Carter is joined by Everest and Westley in the center as they discuss the importance and challenges of building a big-tent progressive Christian community. www.TheLoftLA.org

Today, I review Watch Us Crack, by Gabriella Lepore!Email: hookofabookpodcast@gmail.comGoodreads/Fable: Ellie ManoInstagram/TikTok: @hookofabook

After a federal judge imposed a new district map on the State of North Dakota, former Sen. Judy Estenson lost her seat in the state legislature. That's unfair, she argued in a recent letter to the editor of the Minot Daily News, and on this episode of Plain Talk. "I am deeply frustrated that a judge's decision could undo the will of the voters who elected me in 2022," Estenson said. "I am angry that a midcycle court order forced me from from office, deprived district 15 of its chosen senator, and reship district 9 in a way that made it nearly impossible for me or any Republican to win." Co-host Chad Oban rebutted that last claim from Estenson, pointing out that a Republican who ran with Estenson almost did win in the last election, even after redistricting, but the former Senator is correct that legal wrangling over North Dakota's district map has created headaches. The legal fight is still ongoing, too, making the map for the upcoming 2026 election something less than certain. Estenson, an outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump wand whose family is involved in ranching, also commented on the impact tariffs are having on production agriculture. As many as "20 to 30% of small farmers could go out of business and not be able to continue," Estenson, a former candidate for Agriculture Commissioner, told us. While she says she supports Trump's efforts to address "unfair trade practices," she's not certain what the future holds. "I don't think anyone really knows what the end result will be of all these tariffs. I certainly don't." Also on this episode, Oban and I discuss the absurd call on newly-appointed Rep. Dustin McNally to resign from his seat in District 42, the potential impact of data centers on power rates, and outlook for the Yankees and the Dodgers in the post season.

Send us a textIn this episode, Mike and Doug weave between Mark Twain's obsession with wealth, the Beatles' messy breakup, and their own journeys as songwriters. Along the way they ask whether art is meant to sustain us financially, or if it belongs alongside chopping wood and carrying water. Doug shares a Nashville story that contrasts cover-band grind with the raw heart of songwriting, while Mike experiments with AI tools that reflect his music back to him — sparking questions about what machines can't capture: the soul. Together they explore insecurity, paradox, and the strange beauty of making art in the mess of real life

Conclusion of a two-part series. SEE THE VIDEO!

Sundays are for… All of us. As each year passes, I appreciate more and more the mental haven that has developed. A space to relax, a platform to create. Focusing on moods and sounds that we listen to recover and unwind. Deeply personal, and a sonic window into the soul, the variety of guest mixes, and emotions covers the spectrum. I am so humbled to be able to release each and every entry. This September marks 6 years of Sundays. The musical journey continues, and evolves, so too does the visual. Simple, and abstract. Bridging the digital and analog realms, the art continues to change and match energy. A sine wave in all its glory, nothing less, nothing more. A comfort in its identity, a comfort in its simplicity. Enjoy the mix, this is my yearly ‘moment' if you will, to let the hair down, and indulge. Much love and admiration, mixed and compiled with love by hue | @huedj september 2025 follow us on social media: @itsdelayed linktr.ee/delayed www.delayed.nyc www.facebook.com/itsdelayed www.instagram.com/_____delayed www.youtube.com/@_____delayed Contact us: info@delayed.nyc

Send us a textFairfax criminal lawyer Jonathan Katz last month joined several hundred attendees at the Boone, NC, Ram Dass mountain legacy retreat. The experience was wonderful, with people connecting at the heart and soul level, in the beautiful mountains and clean air. Our last podcast episode features Raghu Markus, the executive director of the Ram Dass Love Serve Remember Foundation. Among those on stage at this Boone mountain retreat was Nina Rao, who with a beyond beautiful voice chants mantra, sings, and shares her essence. Nina is the yin to the yang of dharma teacher and kirtan star Krishna Das (whom Jon Katz also met at this retreat), with whom she has been closely connected for years. Jon loves the voices and music of both Nina Rao and Krishna Das. In this podcast episode, Nina shares her essence, experiences, ideas and voice. Hear her chant at minute 44:00, and get her great CD's "Anubhav" and "Antarayaami: Knower of All Hearts". Krishna Das's great music includes "Trust in the Heart" and much more. What does Nina Rao have to do with beating the prosecution? Winning in court in important part involves finding and expressing one's voice. In fact, at the Trial Lawyers College, each attendee was expected to sing solo before the group at one point or another. Jon believes strongly in finding calm in the eye of the storm, and he has attended lawyers' mindfulness retreats and previously joined with numerous gatherings of a once active local contemplative lawyers group. Hear Nina talk about living a meaningful life no matter the turmoil, about universal love, wisdom, the gifts of her teacher Sri Siddhi Ma, clarity, and giving voice to our souls. This episode is also available on YouTube. Deeply thanking and bowing to Nina Rao. This podcast with Fairfax, Virginia criminal / DUI lawyer Jon Katz is playable on all devices at podcast.BeatTheProsecution.com.

Lulu shot to fame at 15, and she's been playing that part, masking who she really is – Marie McDonald McLaughlin Lawrie – for the six decades since.In this chat with Fearne, Lulu explains how she felt that everything from her real name and accent, to her personality and childhood weren't good enough, so she created a character for the public to love. However, this kind of emotional suppression can have painful consequences, and she's since learned to stop running from her messy parts.Lulu talks through the moment she realised she was an alcoholic, and how recovery has helped her truly like herself. They chat about how to trust your intuition, and reinvent yourself in every decade should you want to... but prepare for others to find your growth uncomfortable.Plus, there are revelations about her relationship with David Bowie that Lulu's never publicised before, and details about how she put her father in jail as a child.Lulu's new book, If Only You Knew, is out now.If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like:Jon Bon JoviZandra RhodesJada Pinkett Smith Hosted on Acast.

"Mother Ramona" Torres was born in the 1960s in a Kalon campsite in Realengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Raised in a traditional Kalon Evoriana family, Ramona embodies the role of a Shuvanni—a spiritual guide, storyteller, and keeper of Romani magic and culture. Passionate about literature and mysticism from an early age, she began preserving her heritage through writing and teaching. Deeply devoted to Ramasordé—the spiritual path of her people—Ramona offers rituals, readings, and ceremonies rooted in Kalon wisdom. She began teaching at a time when sharing Romani magic publicly was rare, and became a respected figure in holistic and esoteric spaces across Brazil. With eloquence and vision, she invites others to honor Romani culture through love, celebration, and connection to the sacred. Ramona lives for the Ramasordé, which she sees as both her calling and her joy, and runs the spiritual center, Confraria Universalista ViAurum.Follow @luzdeevora on Instagram and Confraria Universalista ViAurum on Facebook.

Send us a textIn some cultures, old people are venerated. Cherished. Honored. Deeply respected. But in 2025 America we (remember, David turned 60 recently) are routinely ridiculed. The 10-item list of identifying foibles that comes with being in the AARP crowd might be funny to youngsters who prefer mockery to empathy, but it was far too familiar for those of us whose sphincter's beg for routine reinforcements. Feel free to laugh; we're moping.

Deeply informed by her trans identity, and Jewish spirituality, White's work is both intimate and expansive. White's 2024 album “Home Constellation Study” was praised by Pitchfork for its “imagination, complexity, and feeling.” Her sixteenth LP “8 Tips for Full Catastrophe Living“ was released in 2025 by the Indianapolis label Joyful Noise Recordings. White will perform at State Street Pub on October 1. 

Fr. Daniel Klimek joins Patrick to discuss the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary (5:20) Why is the Rosary important in our life? Why are the mysteries so pivotal in the rosary? (11:54) what is the agony of the garden and what are the fruits of it? (17:49) Ana - When I was 6, I was touched deeply by the sorrowful mysteries. I cried going through pictures with my mom. I pray them, but it's the most rushed Rosary I offer. (24:24) Break 1 (26:00) – Steve - Regarding scourging at the pillar: I was experiencing a difficult relationship. Took it to prayer and the Rosary. Given an insight I believe by the Lord. Deeply profound moment. Purity as a fruit of the mystery of the Scourging at the pillar?

The Rizzuto Show takes on one of life's hardest questions: Are you riding with "Big Tip"… or not? Yep, we're talking circumcision, people. It's awkward, it's hilarious, and it's exactly the kind of barely informed hot takes you've come to expect from Rizz, Moon, Lern, Rafe, and, King Scott. Yep, somehow we managed to turn a perfectly innocent conversation into a full-blown investigation into whether you're repping "Big Tip" or proudly rocking team "Big Cut." Along the way, we dish out way too many visuals, way too much laughter, and just enough awkwardness to make you question why you ever listen to this show in public. Of course, it's not just all about tips—there's the usual mix of nonsense, hot takes, and wildly inappropriate banter that only The Rizzuto Show can deliver.

You're about to learn a whole lot more about Kevin Bacon. The prolific actor has been on our screens for more than 40 years. It was his breakthrough part as Ren in Footloose that got him attention, but he was just getting started. Acclaimed roles in Apollo 13, A Few Good Men, The River Wild, and Mystic River would follow. In fact his filmography and range is so broad he literally had a game made up about him – Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon – where you could connect any Hollywood actor to him in six or less steps, he's worked with that many stars.But bubbling away in the background, Kevin has always loved music. He played and wrote songs as a kid, joined his brother's band and formed The Bacon Brothers in '95, and shares his love of songs on the regular, across his social media.It was this thread I wanted to pull at, when I asked him to Take 5. But what emerged was a greater sense of the man himself. Deeply empathetic, very grounded, and with his heart in all the right places.Kevin Bacon's song choices:Earth, Wind & Fire – 'Happy Feelin'Spin Doctors – 'Little Miss Can't Be Wrong'John Prine & Iris DeMent – 'In Spite of Ourselves'Frank Ocean – 'Thinkin Bout You'Brandi Carlile – 'The Joke'00:00 Introduction to Kevin Bacon's Musical Journey01:00 Kevin Bacon's Love for Music02:19 Kevin Bacon's Acting and Music Synergy04:11 SONG 1: Earth, Wind & Fire – 'Happy Feelin'05:59 The Influence of Philadelphia's Music Scene09:59 Kevin Bacon's Acting Aspirations and Early Career14:38 SONG 2: Spin Doctors – 'Little Miss Can't Be Wrong'18:02 The Bacon Brothers and Overcoming Stage Fright22:53 SONG 3: John Prine & Iris DeMent – 'In Spite of Ourselves'23:28 Marriage to Kyra Sedgwick and singing together30:32 SONG 4: Frank Ocean – 'Thinkin Bout You'35:21 Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon and Philanthropy39:51 SONG 5: Brandi Carlile – 'The Joke'44:28 Kevin Bacon's Musical Journey45:57 Upcoming Episodes and Podcast Details46:29 Double J Radio HighlightsWatch Take 5 on ABC iview:https://iview.abc.net.au/show/take-5-with-zan-rowe

Today I'm delighted to be joined in conversation by Elspeth Hay author of Feed Us With Trees: Nuts and the Future of Food.Did you know you can eat Acorns? This was the revelation that inspired Elspeth's book and also got me hooked on her incredible work. I absolutely love trees and talk about their ecological importance, but Elspeth takes our relationship to trees, to a different level, a place where we don't just preserve them because it's the right thing to do for biodiversity and other species but where we can once again benefit directly from our relationship with them and they can literally facilitate our own survival. Our Food Systems are making us and our planet sick, both physically and emotionally, our farmers are at the forefront of this rupture and sadly experience a higher rate of suicide than the general population. In this nuanced conversation we explore how reconsidering our relationship with these keystone trees isn't just about addressing a single problem, it leads us to question and reconsider everything we have been taught about our current food systems, from yields to inputs and food waste, to the wisdom from Indigenous people and the food systems they employed. We also look back at the journey and trauma that ruptured our relationship with the lands and the economic rather than ecological reasons that laid the path we have been taught to follow. Importantly Elspeth also offers us a tangible solution to multiple crisis within our world. Feed us with Trees offers us a viable alternative way to farm, that isn't just a theory but is already being successfully implemented today. Learn more about  ElspethElspeth Hay is a writer and the creator and host of the Local Food Report, a weekly feature that has aired on Cape Cod's NPR station since 2008. Deeply immersed in her own local-food system, she writes and reports for print, radio, and online media with a focus on food and the environment to reconnect us with the people, places, and ideas that feed us.Feed Us With Trees: is a hopeful manifesto about a brighter, more abundant future and a critical look at the long-held stories we'll need to rewrite to build it. The day Elspeth Hay learned that we can eat acorns, stories she'd believed her whole life began to unravel. Until then she'd always believed we must grow our staple foods in farmed fields, the same fields wreaking havoc on our land, air, and water. But all over the Northern Hemisphere, Hay learned, humans once grew our staple foods in forest gardens centered on perennial nut trees: oaks, chestnuts, and hazelnuts. In Feed Us with Trees, Hay brings us along as she gets to know dozens of nut growers, scientists, Indigenous knowledge-keepers, researchers, and food professionals and discovers that in tending these staple trees, we once played a vital environmental role as one of Earth's keystone species. Website: https://elspethhay.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/elspethhay/Support the showThank you for being part of this journey with me, please Subscribe so you don't miss our future episodes, leave a review & share with friends to help these messages ripple out across the world.

In both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere day and night length are approximately equal,” said Sue Minahan host of the weekly show.” Deeply spiritual, the equinox symbolizes nature's cycles. A balance between the solstice where the light begins to further retreat for the Northern Hemisphere. Light fading begins celebration with deep gratitude for the summer's bounty in the harvest. Yet below the equator for the Southern Hemisphere begins to return towards the next solstice offering seeds growing and new life.”The September equinox chart serves as a powerful seed chart, unveiling profound themes that resonate all autumn. Dive into the cosmic dance of the fall equinox with Master Vibrational Astrology (VA) author, researcher, and instructor Linda Berry, alongside Robert Pacitti. Through the lens of VA, they unravel the intricate core patterns that shape our collective consciousness during this season of gratitude.The fall equinox chart acts as a seed, planting themes that will develop throughout the autumn months.

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, Dr. Kathy discusses the findings of a recent global survey by Edelman, revealing that 45% of young people, particularly from Gen Z (aged 18-34), tend to ignore medical advice from professionals in favor of insights shared by friends and social media influencers. The survey highlights a significant trend where 38% of respondents reject doctors' recommendations, influenced by a growing movement of "crunchy teens" who prioritize wellness and often share questionable health theories online. Dr. Kathy emphasizes the importance of teaching children to seek deeper understanding and critical thinking rather than settling for surface-level answers. The conversation serves as a reminder to navigate the complexities of health information in today's digital age.

This week, we're diving deep into something that's been weighing heavily on my mind: the rise of the “attention economy” and the erosion of real expertise.In a world where virality often trumps value, and followers are confused for wisdom, we're asking some big questions:When did being seen become more important than being qualified?How did our societal obsession with clicks, likes, and soundbites replace depth, knowledge, and lived experience?What happens when leadership, media, and influence are driven more by popularity than credibility?But this isn't just a rant — this is also a reminder.We had the privilege of reconnecting with Ileana Gonzalez, Director of Emerging Technology & Innovation at retail giant H-E-B, in a conversation that reminded us what true innovation really looks like — rooted in family, trust, people, and culture. This episode is a masterclass in what it means to lead from the inside out, and how meaningful innovation isn't about flashy headlines or viral clips — it's about serving humanity.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the noise, exhausted by the race for attention, or disheartened by how we measure success today — this conversation is for you.

Matthew Facciani Ph.D is here to Discuss the Link Between Victim Mentalities and Belief in Conspiracy TheoriesOn this episode of The Rational Egoist, Michael sits down with Matthew Facciani, Ph.D.—an interdisciplinary social scientist whose work bridges neuroscience, psychology, and sociology. With a doctorate in sociology, Dr. Facciani's research dives deep into how misinformation spreads, how social networks shape beliefs, and why political polarization and identity play such powerful roles in our culture.In this conversation, Michael and Dr. Facciani explore the connection between victim mentalities and susceptibility to conspiracy theories—why some people are drawn to narratives of persecution, and how this mindset feeds into distorted views of reality. They also discuss the importance of media literacy, the psychology of belief, and the cultural consequences of misinformation in the age of artificial intelligence.About Michael Liebowitz – Host of The Rational EgoistMichael Liebowitz is the host of The Rational Egoist podcast, a philosopher, author, and political activist committed to the principles of reason, individualism, and rational self-interest.

Bryan and Shannon Miles are visionary entrepreneurs, servant leaders, and the dynamic husband-wife team behind Belay, a groundbreaking virtual assistant and bookkeeping company. After climbing out of $80,000 in debt and leveraging their faith and work ethic, they built Belay into a nine-figure success, redefining how remote work and leadership can thrive in a digital age. Following their transformative exit, Bryan and Shannon launched Owner, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting and equipping business owners with resources, community, and guidance for both personal and professional growth. Deeply rooted in servant leadership and faith, their journey is one of resilience, growth, and a passion for empowering other entrepreneurs to build not just successful businesses, but meaningful legacies. Takeaways: Servant Leadership as a Foundation: Bryan and Shannon stress that true leadership is about serving others and building a legacy that extends beyond personal gain—99% of a leader's actions should benefit those around them. Culture Is Key for Remote Success: Company culture is built on shared vision and trust, not physical offices or perks. Belay's all-remote team succeeded by fostering deep trust, clear expectations, and magnetic vision. The Messy Middle Matters Most: While many focus on the start-up or exit phases, Shannon and Bryan highlight the importance of the “messy middle”—the growth period that shapes leaders personally and professionally, often requiring daily adaptation and self-discovery. Sound Bytes: “Culture isn't about a fancy office or a Friday pizza party. It's about a shared vision that everyone moves toward together.” “We didn't just want to build a successful business; we wanted to create the type of company we'd always dreamed of working for.” “The breakthroughs don't just come at the beginning or the end—they happen in the messy middle where you have to grow as a leader.” Connect & Discover Bryan and Shannon: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bryanandshannon/?hl=en Website: https://belaysolutions.com/blog/one-next-step-018-bryan-shannon-miles/ Website: https://www.o-nr.org/ Website: https://miles.ag/about/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bryan-miles-milesag/ Book: Virtual Culture: The Way We Work Doesn't Work Anymore

“It's been so gratifying, not just the accolades but how I've been able to show up. Learning how to love myself, learning what my voice is, and being able to trust that, stand tall and stand true in that it's enough.” Taylor Townsend on evolving  Taylor Townsend Joins The Pivot Podcast for an exclusive, deeply personal and powerful conversation after her 2025 US Open breakthrough. Days after captivating fans with her deep run and emotional performances at the 2025 US Open, American tennis star Taylor sat down with Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder for one of the most heartfelt and unfiltered interviews in the show's recent history. The episode opens with the hosts giving Townsend her flowers, celebrating not just her performance on the court—where she reached the fourth round in electrifying fashion—but also her unapologetic authenticity, her resilience, and her long road back to center stage. From the jump, Townsend came through with that signature mix of grace and grit. “I've started setting goals and not being afraid of failure...I finally get to be myself and not hide from who I am,” Townsend said, reflecting on her resurgence. Over the course of the hour-long conversation, Townsend opened up about her heated post-match altercation with Jelena Ostapenko, breaking her silence and addressing the viral moment head-on, being proud that she used her words to control her emotions and how she stood firm on not tolerating disrespect, as her father raised them not to be punks but also to always stand up for themselves which led Taylor to telling Jelena- “Don't ever put your finger in my face again."  Taylor continues to open up with her childhood dreams, looking up to Serena and Venus and how despite being competitors, Serena took her under wing when she was pregnant and helped prepare her for this gratifying yet extremely difficult journey. Her battles with body image and bias in the sport, especially how early narratives in her career tried to box her in and tell her she could never excel in a sport that wouldn't accept her certain stature and build. Sharing how she lost 95 pounds in 10 months coming back after pregnancy but that motherhood and identity have impacted her life in meaningful ways. Revealing intimate details about balancing elite competition with raising her son, Adyn, which she credits to teaching her what true love and sacrifice is as she opens up on the mental side of her journey, including moments of doubt, therapy, and the role of her support system.  One of the most powerful moments came near the end, when Townsend addressed she's been on the pro tour for 13 years and been hiding for twelve of them and is now finally able to show up as herself.Taylor points to her recent loss as her most pivotal moment, in a place where her career is going to skyrocket, with her confidence, faith and motivation higher than ever. The conversation flowed like family catching up, as Taylor made the joke she felt like she was sitting with her uncles with Channing bringing the laughs, Ryan dropping wisdom, and Fred reflecting on what it means to carry a legacy in a sport that hasn't always been built for athletes like Townsend. The episode has a lot to unpack, filled with many viral moments, drawing praise from across the sports world for Townsend's honesty, charisma, and unshakable sense of self.  We talked about Toyota's partnership with football and game day giveaways, Learn more at https://toyota.com/nfl Thank you to our friends at Monarch Money for sponsoring this episode, Check them out here and use code PIVOT to get 50% off your first year. https://www.monarchmoney.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
