What can you learn from a preacher who wore a camel's hair cloak while eating locusts and wild honey? Plenty. In this week's Gospel, John the Baptist gives us the perfect playbook for entering into Advent...and for taking our spiritual lives to the next level. His ascetic appearance and way of life might seem crazy to us, but his intensity had the goal of stripping away life's distractions to clarify his message and make room for love. Distracted has become our default mode. Advent is the perfect time to slow down and take in the message of John the Baptist. And his message? “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” We've heard that line a thousand times. But in this reflection, I explain what the word "repent" really means in this context. The actual translation of the Greek word—metanoia—is much deeper than you think. It implies a changing of the mind and your way of thinking. That's not just penitence as a form of behavior modification. It's not just looking backward and being sorry for the past. It means opening your eyes to the grace you have received and realizing that change is only possible with God—an entirely new perspective. You can't pick yourself up by your own bootstraps to raise yourself to heaven. We need God for that. I pray you are able to enter into a joyful penance this Advent that relies on his grace to make a lasting change in your life. Allow that grace to challenge your approach to everything you do by taking on the mind of Christ. Make space for Christ and let him "meta" your "noia." I'll pray for you...please pray for me! DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. What's one distraction you could strip away this Advent to make room for Christ? 2. Before hearing this reflection, how did you understand the word repent? How does the meaning of metanoia change that? 3. Can you think of a time when a shift in perspective — not just behavior — changed your life? How might God be inviting you to a new way of thinking right now? 4. What's one area where you've been trying to “pull yourself up by your bootstraps”? How can you invite grace into that instead? 5. Which parts of your life feel “too busy” for God? What practical step could you take this week to open space for Him? ----- Sign up for Chris Stefanick's daily Advent reflections: https://reallifecatholic.com/daily-anchor-advent/ ----- Join the mission to spread the joy of the Gospel!

Today's NPC Prompts were:Historical Setting, Rat-like, Doctor, Outlaw, Chaotic Good, Intelligence, Distracted, AgelessThe balance of scientific curiosity and morality is a delicate one. Most physicians will take choose science for the "greater good", but Doc Wyrmstitch asked, good for whom. Donning his rat-like masks in the plague ridden alleys, the destitute know that "The Rat Doctor" is there to help, not to scrounge around for test subjects. Though his thoughts process faster than his namesake can scurry, he greets each patient with gentle kindness, respect, and compassion. His outspoken advocacy for the human rights of the poor and the sanctity of the deceased have sent him out of society in disgrace. As a result, he takes whatever supplies he can find, and damn the wanted posters that call for his arrest or death.

A Parenting Resource for Children’s Behavior and Mental Health
If you've ever wished you could peek inside your child's brain during a meltdown or when they completely shut down, today's episode is for you. We're diving into QEEG brain maps—one of the most powerful, yet most underused tools for understanding what's really driving big emotions, focus issues, and chronic dysregulation.For three decades, I've watched families bounce from diagnosis to diagnosis… ADHD, anxiety, “behavioral issues.” And while those labels can be helpful, they're often surface-level.A QEEG lets us look under the hood so we can finally stop guessing. Because when we calm the brain first, everything else follows.Why So Many Kids Get the Wrong DiagnosisParents are often told their child has ADHD simply because they're unfocused or overwhelmed. But ADHD criteria are broad—so broad that almost any dysregulated kid can fit the checklist. That's why so many families show up after trying meds, OT, tutoring, and therapy with little or no progress.A QEEG changes that.This quantitative brain map shows where the brain is overactive, underactive, or disconnected, and those patterns tell us far more than a checklist ever could. I've done over 10,000 brain maps, and they consistently reveal what teachers, therapists, and even doctors miss.A Real Story: When ADHD Wasn't ADHDOne mom, Sarah, came to me after years of trying to help her son Jack. He had an ADHD diagnosis, but nothing worked—not medication, not OT, not therapy.His brain map showed focus issues, yes… but more importantly, it pointed to learning and executive functioning patterns that suggested dyslexia. After a deeper history and a follow-up evaluation at school, dyslexia was confirmed.Suddenly everything made sense. Jack didn't need a stronger stimulant—he needed a reading intervention. Once we supported his brain through neurofeedback and the right academic supports, the whole picture changed.This kind of story is far too common.Want to stay calm when your child pushes every button?Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP and get the FREE Regulation Rescue Kit—your step-by-step guide to stop oppositional behaviors without yelling or giving in.Go to www.drroseann.com/newsletter and grab your kit today.QEEG vs EEG: What's the Difference?An EEG is a medical tool used to detect seizures. A QEEG—or quantitative EEG—measures the brain's electrical activity and compares it to normative data.It's:PainlessNoninvasiveDone with a soft cap and sensorsDesigned to map overactivity, underactivity, and connectivityThink of it like getting a satellite image of your child's brain weather patterns—where storms are brewing, where things have gone quiet, and where communication lines are overloaded.What Dysregulation Looks Like on a Brain MapA dysregulated brain can't shift smoothly between states—calm, alert, focused. On a QEEG, that shows up as:Underactivity → brain fog, low motivation, slow processingOveractivity → big emotions, anxiety, OCD-like reactionsChaotic connectivity → trouble transitioning, rigid thinking,...

As we step into Advent and the first days of a new liturgical year, I've been reflecting on how this season invites us to slow down, simplify, and refocus on the Lord. Stepping into this season also brings up something I see constantly in coaching and in my own home: distraction. Our kids wander off, lose focus, read a book instead of doing chores, or get sucked into the chat box during an online class instead of paying attention to the teacher. And nothing sends a homeschool mom through the roof faster than when your kid isn't doing what they should be! But what I've come to understand, through a lot of prayer, trial, and humility, is that when I'm going ballistic, I'm the one who's actually distracted. I'm distracted by an ideal. Distracted from the here and now. Distracted from my real work. Grab your earbuds to join me for a powerful episode where I'm going to share some strategies to help you and your kids to focus more, but of course deep down, we are going to be talking about how to calm down. How to refocus. How to listen. How to create compassion and connection.

Hello to you listening in Brittany, France!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.As a storyteller for some 30 years now I can say this: when life is upside down and backward we call on the old stories. The old stories of who we are and where we came from ground us in the truth of the origins we might forget when distracted by shiny things, especially at this time of year.Shopping [by Faith Shearin]"My husband and I stood together in the new mallwhich was clean and white and full of possibility.We were poor so we liked to walk through the storessince this was like walking through our dreams.In one we admired coffee makers, blue potterybowls, toaster ovens as big as televisions. In another, we eased into a leather couch and imaginedcocktails in a room overlooking the sea. When wesniffed scented candles we saw our future faces,softly lit, over a dinner of pasta and wine. Whenwe touched thick bathrobes we saw midnight swims and bathtubs so vast they might bemistaken for lakes. My husband's glasses hurthis face and his shoes were full of holes.There was a space in our living room wherea couch should have been. We longed for fancy shower curtains, flannel sheets,shiny silverware, expensive winter coats.Sometimes, at night, we sat up and made lists.We pressed our heads together and wroteour wants all over torn notebook pages.Nearly everyone we loved was alive and we were in love but we liked wanting. Nothingwas ever as nice when we brought it home.The objects in stores looked best in stores.The stores were possible futures and, youngand poor, we went shopping. It was nicethen: we didn't know we already had everything.""Shopping" by Faith Shearin, from The Owl Question. © Utah State University Press, 2002.My mother always told us that we were rich we just didn't have a lot of money. When money was even tighter we weren't poor; we were just broke. Mom was right. The shiny things have come and gone but the richness of the stories - who I am, where I came from - those remain close to heart.“We Ain't Buying It!” is a nationwide movement to pause shopping from Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday with major corporations that are enabling the administration's lawlessness: Target, Home Depot & Amazon.

FULL INTERVIEW: Ngāti Kahungunu chair Bayden Barber is calling for reconciliation after Te Pāti Māori's national council expelled MPs Mariameno Kapa-Kingi and Tākuta Ferris. . Barber, who is trying to broker a peace deal between the factions of the party for the Iwi Chairs Forum, says the unrest has been "pretty damaging" for Māori as a whole. As iwi grapple with the consequences of Government policy, he says Te Pāti Māori needs to focus on the bigger picture rather than fight among themselves. . Barber says the party "haven't taken heed" of the Iwi Chairs Forum's calls for reconciliation. Q+A asks him what that reveals about how Te Pāti Māori views iwi leaders, and whether John Tamihere can remain president of a united Māori party. . Join Jack Tame and the Q+A team and find the answers to the questions that matter. Made with the support of NZ on Air.
In this episode, CEO coach Gene Hammett explores what it truly means to Be Intentional as a Leader, encouraging listeners to examine their leadership style and uncover the barriers limiting their growth. Drawing from his recent keynote at the Association of Animal Welfare Advancement, he introduces a clear two-part framework for elevating leadership, recognizing current hindrances, and defining the aspirational traits that drive stronger performance. Gene emphasizes the power of proactive, self-aware leadership in building engaged, high-performing teams and shares practical tools and resources to support deeper self-discovery and more effective, intentional leadership. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 2:04 The Importance of Self-Reflection 5:44 Defining Your Leadership Identity 6:59 Evolving as a Leader 8:17 The Power of Intentionality 9:40 Strategies for Effective Leadership Identify who you're being that limits your leadership. Most leaders fall into the same cycle: open the laptop, answer emails, run spreadsheets, jump into meetings, put out fires… and repeat. I've been there, and maybe you're stuck in that same loop, working hard, but not necessarily leading intentionally. So pause for a moment and ask yourself: What would it take for me to be a better leader? And even more importantly, why do I want to be a better leader? Is your team performing below its potential? Do decisions keep landing back on your plate? Are you feeling overwhelmed or burned out? If so, this episode is for you. Recently, I spoke at the Association of Animal Welfare Advancement here in Atlanta. Their leaders were deeply committed to growing, and during that keynote, I shared one core idea: the power of intention in leadership. Here's a portion of that talk: "When you want to be a great leader, it doesn't happen by accident; it requires intention. You need the ability to shift with what's in front of you. Defining the leader you want to become may seem trivial or unnecessary, but it is foundational. Who are you being that gets in the way of being a better leader? And who do you want to become in the next level of yourself? You must be honest with yourself and claim the leader you're becoming." Are you scattered? Distracted? Overwhelmed? Too nice? Too empathetic? Too direct? These traits may not seem harmful, but when they're dialed too high, they create friction. Write them down on a 3×5 or 4×6 card, make it honest, uncomfortable, and real. This clarity helps you move away from what no longer serves your leadership. Define who you want to become. One of my clients captured this beautifully: Be decisive. Be focused. Be confident. Each week during our coaching sessions, we review how these traits showed up. This repetition creates accountability and reinforces their development. This is the work of intentional leadership, continuously evolving and expanding your capacity. Whether you're a CEO, founder, or senior leader, complacency kills performance. Growth requires reinvention. If you're new here, I'm Gene Hammett, CEO, coach, founder, and leadership development expert. We help executives and leadership teams create environments where people perform at their best, take ownership, and feel aligned with the mission. If you want to explore these ideas further without committing to a call, join my free training at training.corelevation.com. In about 90 minutes, we cover core principles, common mistakes, and the five steps to becoming a stronger, more intentional leader. To close today's episode, remember this: Being intentional is a superpower. Reactive leadership limits performance. A simple example comes from sales: smile before you dial. People can sense your energy even without seeing you. That's the intention at work. Imagine showing up 90–95% of the time as the leader you want to be decisive, focused, confident… or whatever traits matter most to you. One of my favorite examples from a client is the phrase: unshakably confident. Picture that being you. It's possible if you choose to lead with intention. If I can support you in any way, keep following our content, keep stepping up, and remember: when you think of growth and leadership, think of Growth Think Tank. Key Takeaways Great leadership never happens by accident it requires intention. Break the reactive work cycle by pausing to reflect on why you want to grow. Part 1: Define who you're being today that limits your leadership. Part 2: Define the leader you want to become (e.g., decisive, focused, confident). Writing your leadership identity on a simple card creates clarity and accountability. Intentionality is a leadership superpower that elevates performance and reduces overwhelm. "Smile before you dial" is a simple example of how intention shapes outcomes. Ideal For: Founders, CEOs, executives, managers, and anyone committed to elevating their leadership capacity.

It can be difficult to prioritise prayer when we have lots happening in life. In this chat Emma and Rosemary discuss how we can begin to put aside distraction and give our best to God.
Do you ever get distracted in prayer? We can so easily be distracted by our busy lives that prayer doesn’t always get our best. In this Heartbeat Rosemary encourages us to do our best to be still before God.

Ticked Off Tuesday from Delray Beach: Jared opens the vent line and tag-teams listener gripes with his own, from meddling “helpful” meals to tipping tech that's stuck in the Stone Age. One listener's story about a mom who got jealous of a client's kind gesture spirals into Jared's takedown of unwanted casseroles, reheated fish, and “help” that's really control in disguise. He riffs on turkey bacon treachery, sidewalk slo-mos, light-switch mazes, Amex “offers,” and the weird pressure to prove friendship with likes. Plus, tour updates and plenty of laugh-out-loud commiseration without turning your brain into homework.Support the show and get $10 off your 1 st month of Nutrafol.

In this throwback episode, I'm chatting with my friend Anne Briggs from Anne of All Trades about real life homesteading, what it takes, what works, and how to keep moving forward even when life gets busy. Anne left the tech world and dove into homesteading, and over the past decade she has learned everything from blacksmithing and woodworking to raising goats and building her own furniture. As of 2025, Anne is now a new mom and learning how to reevaluate her daily life and rhythms to fit into motherhood. In this episode, you'll hear: A fresh word from Anne on how things have changed since becoming a mom. How Anne learned new trade skills by teaching herself and seeking out mentors. Why the phrase "don't compare your beginning to someone else's middle" helps her stay grounded. Why starting with goats might not be the smartest first move (and yes, she shares some hilarious stories). Simple time management tools for the homestead, including how she uses the Pomodoro technique and limits phone distractions. How small, consistent steps add up to big results over time. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by everything that needs to be done or wondered how to balance work and homesteading, this conversation will encourage you to start where you are and keep going. Join me for an honest, practical talk with Anne about what it really looks like to build a hands-on, meaningful homestead life.

While the eyes of America were fixated on the Charlie Kirk funeral pep rally, many nefarious things were happening under the cover of a defacto media blackout. The Crown got into the artificial intelligence game in a huge way through the data center construction angle and opportunity zones with their Tech Prosperity Deal that was formalized during Trump's recent UK visit. Left-wing violence has a particular flavor and smell, so it is becoming increasingly more difficult for the mainstream press to sell domestic terrorism as a bipartisan tactic. The list of leftists involved in mass shootings is not being talked about by the media, and they refuse to connect even the most obvious dots with regard to funding from George Soros's Open Society Foundation. However, beware of the ramifications of supporting and legalizing the crackdown by the state. - Watch the video version of this episode on the Macroaggressions Rumble Channel: https://rumble.com/c/Macroaggressions - MACRO & Charlie Robinson Links Hypocrazy Audiobook: https://amzn.to/4aogwms The Octopus of Global Control Audiobook: https://amzn.to/3xu0rMm Website: www.Macroaggressions.io Merch Store: https://macroaggressions.dashery.com/ Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/macroaggressionspodcast Activist Post Family Activist Post: www.ActivistPost.com Natural Blaze: www.NaturalBlaze.com Support Our Sponsors C60 Power: https://go.shopc60.com/PBGRT/KMKS9/ | Promo Code: MACRO Chemical Free Body: https://chemicalfreebody.com/macro/ | Promo Code: MACRO Wise Wolf Gold & Silver: https://macroaggressions.gold/ | (800) 426-1836 LegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.com EMP Shield: www.EMPShield.com | Promo Code: MACRO Christian Yordanov's Health Program: www.LiveLongerFormula.com/macro Above Phone: https://abovephone.com/macro/ Van Man: https://vanman.shop/?ref=MACRO | Promo Code: MACRO The Dollar Vigilante: https://dollarvigilante.spiffy.co/a/O3wCWenlXN/4471 Nesa's Hemp: www.NesasHemp.com | Promo Code: MACRO Augason Farms: https://augasonfarms.com/MACRO
