In this throwback episode of the Uploft Interior Design, I'm tackling the surprisingly tricky question of how to dress French doors, including why I'd skip traditional drapes on a contemporary front entry and consider sleek custom cellular blinds instead. I also take you inside my design diary and share what I've been working on with a longtime client, from spotting serious space and storage challenges in a potential $3 million Manhattan apartment to helping him pivot to a rental with a much better footprint—and walking into one of the messiest apartments I've encountered in years along the way.

I was stuck in the lab.M: You missed a really good game.Our school team played very well. (Text 2)W: Did you hear the weather forecast for tomorrow? Is it going to be windy?M: No, there will be clouds in the morning, and heavy showers in the afternoon and the evening. (Text 3)M: Hey, let's go for a picnic somewhere this weekend.W: Good idea. Can Jack go with us? He's tired of taking exams these past two weeks.M: I don't think so. He's going on a trip this weekend with his school. (Text 4)M: Hello, is this Emma? This is Robert Gellen from Johnson's Electronics.W: Hello, Robert, what can I do for you?M: It's this visit by Mr.Johnson. I'm afraid he's had an emergency and won't be able to make it this time. (Text 5)M: Did you wait long?W: No, just two minutes. How was the flight?M: It was fine, thanks. I slept through the whole flight actually and I feel much better. (Text 6)M: I'm starving. What are we having for dinner tonight, Jane?W: I'm not sure. Something will come to mind once I start.M: I feel like eating French Fries or maybe a ham sandwich. How about you?W: Actually, I was thinking of making something healthy, say ... fish and vegetables.M: Well, in that case, I'll have whatever you make.(Text 7)W: Hello, George, I heard that you're going to Milan for a business trip next week.M: Yes, Susan, I'm also planning a trip to Rome for sightseeing after that.W: Oh, I'm just back from Rome.The city has made some new rules.M: Really? What rules?W: For example, people who dress up as Roman soldiers in charge of photos won't be allowed near tourist spots,and street performers can't sing or play their music on public transport.Another rule bans tourists from eating in public places.M: That's good. Eating in public is inappropriate and could lead to littering.W: Rome isn't the only city to do that. Last year, Florence made a rule saying that tourists would face fines of up to 500 euros if caught eating in the street.M: Wow, that's big money, but it's understandable. (Text 8)W: Hi, Frank. I heard you plan to withdraw from the speech class. Can you tell me why?M: Well, Ms. McDaniel, I don't think I can make it. Public speaking scares me. I just can't get in front of a group and talk. W: What is it that you fear about speaking in front of a group?M: I am afraid I would look silly if I forget a word or say something stupid or if I shake or turn red.W: What would happen if you did run into one of these things?M: People would laugh at me.W: Well, Frank, your fear is really not based on facts. I once asked my students what they would do if someone in class forgot a word or made a mistake. They said they would feel bad for the speaker for they knew they would be in the speaker's shoes some day.Does that make you feel better?M: Yeah, I guess.W: I hope you'll stay in the class, and try a bit more.M: Okay. Thanks, Ms. McDaniel.(Text 9)M: How many applications did we get, Mary?W: Well, overall we got over 200.M: Wow, that many!W: Yes, but most of which we can reject right away, people who don't have the right experience, qualifications,that kind of thing.M: Of course. W: And so, I drew up a short list of 12 candidates.M: Are we going to interview all of them?W: I think we should. But certainly, I'll let you have a look first.M: Great, so, who will we get then?W: Well, I think we have got some pretty strong candidates. Two in particular.M: They have the right kind of qualification? W: I certainly say so. A strong educational background, experience in sales, language skills ...M: Good. Look forward to meeting all of them.W: So, I'd say we do a set interview for that.M: Sure.W: A few general questions, then onto specifics. We could also ask them to give a short presentation.M: Great. I'm really looking forward to this.(Text 10)W: Welcome back, everyone. This is CB8 News Radio. Here comes something interesting. Yesterday, a teenage girl named Terra Gallo, Cumberland, got some unexpected news when she received a handwritten letter from a fisherman saying that her message in a bottle had been found in Spain. Gallo and her sister put messages into bottles and threw them into the ocean while visiting their aunt on Monhegan Island three years ago. The girls had forgotten about the bottles until they were surprised by the fisherman's letter. Gallo, now 14, studied the maps and discovered her message traveled about 3,000 miles. Gallo's message asked that whoever got her bottle should put their own message inside with hers and send it back out to sea. The fisherman said in his letter that he had carried out her wishes.

[2:08] On with the Show! Our guest today is Dawnmarie Black. She is the Senior Vice President and Client Relationship Manager at Amwins, and she is the President of the Association of Professional Insurance Women (APIW). [2:26] We'll talk a bit about her career journey, what she believes it takes to attract and retain talent in insurance and risk management, and the interconnected risks that are on her radar. Let's get to it! [2:39] Interview! Dawnmarie Black, Welcome to RIMScast! [2:48] Justin says, you know Dawnmarie Black from Amwins, and she is also the President of the Association of Professional Insurance Women (APIW). Justin is wearing their pin. [3:21] Dawnmarie is a Client Relationship Manager at Amwins. She builds relationships with retail trading partners. It's a strategic national, corporate relationship across the U.S. [3:35] Dawnmarie works and collaborates with their market placement teams or carrier strategy teams and Amwins internal brokers. [3:44] There's a lot of collaboration to ensure that Amwins brokers are finding the opportunities and so the client and Amwins understand how Amwins fits into their strategic priorities, and to grow both businesses. [4:04] Dawnmarie says she and her team are there to support the retail brokers and also support Amwins's internal brokers in their growth initiatives. [4:13] Dawnmarie joined Amwins in September of 2025. [4:32] Dawnmarie's father owned an insurance agency in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She worked at his agency from age 16. She went to Allegheny College in Meadville and worked at a local agency. She did a lot of mailroom, file room, cold calling, and CSR work. [4:59] Dawnmarie thought she would ultimately move up in her father's agency and someday be the succession plan. He sold it, and Dawnmarie went to work for Chubb in their training program. It was a phenomenal start into this industry. They had a great training program. [5:16] Dawnmarie says a lot of her group are still colleagues and friends today, which set the stage for her career. [5:21] Dawnmarie says she moved through underwriting and brokerage, she built and launched an IT system at Aon, and went back to underwriting for a while. Most recently, Dawnmarie was the head of market development for the Americas at Lloyd's of London. [5:54] Dawnmarie says it was an incredible role to understand what's happening in the global marketplace, at a 30,000-foot view, working with coders in the U.S. very closely. This is how she got to Amwins. She was promoting the Lloyd's market to the Amwins leadership team. [6:37] Justin finds it fascinating that Dawnmarie was not the successor to her father but made her own way in the insurance industry. She learned it from the ground up. She has touched every part of the industry except for claims. She has come full circle, working with retailers again. [7:04] Dawnmarie says it has been a very interesting and fulfilling journey. She feels like it has placed her well to be in a position like this, to be working with Amwins's retailers. [7:36] Dawnmarie says she establishes trust with people through communication and transparency. She tells it like it is. She also will go the extra mile, out of her way to make sure things get done. At Amwins, there is a service leadership culture. [8:01] Dawnmarie says she is there to help; to help direct, to help move things, or to help resolve things, at a very strategic, macro level. That fills her cup. She owns up to what she is promising. [8:19] Dawnmarie says, if she tells you she is going to get something done, she will get it done, to the best of her ability, or there will be a very good reason why it hasn't been done. It's important to communicate that. [8:39] Dawnmarie says she thinks that the next generation of leaders exhibits these qualities. They are thoughtful and demanding and have high expectations. When Dawnmarie entered the industry, the culture required her to prove herself. There was a way to approach the business. [9:14] Dawnmarie says the Chubb training program was 12 weeks in their training center in Warren, New Jersey. You learned the policy forms, how to work with insureds, and understand needs. You understood risk. You learned underwriting and pricing. [9:36] The emphasis was understanding the business. Unfortunately for our young risk professionals, there are not as many programs like that available today. [9:49] Dawnmarie says you find companies that are putting training programs together. Amwins has an underwriter development program that is outstanding. A lot of the business produced in Amwins comes from those who have come through the UDP or a broker development program. [10:05] Dawnmarie says our industry has gotten away from the super-formalized training programs, probably to the detriment of our younger professionals, but we're all stepping in and finding ways to fill those gaps. [10:30] Justin concludes that Dawnmarie had an analog, hands-on, pen-and-paper training program. [11:06] Dawnmarie joined the APIW early in her career. She would go to two or three monthly luncheons a year. Then she left APIW for a few years. [11:26] About 10 years ago, while she was at Lloyd's, Dawnmarie was asked to join the board of APIW and get more involved. There, Dawnmarie held the roles of Co-head of Programming, then Treasurer, and ultimately, she was asked to step into the President position. [11:46] Dawnmarie says she has seen the incredible evolution of APIW, going from 500 members to 3,500 members in 11 chapters across the U.S. with 60 corporate sponsorships. APIW has grown since the first time Dawnmarie was involved. [12:20] Dawnmarie says that in her early 40s, she went to her first Women's Leadership Conference by the Insurance Industry Charitable Foundation (IICF). There weren't a lot of events like that then. Dawnmarie was struggling to figure out what she wanted in her career. [12:50] At this Women's Leadership Conference, a woman spoke on the importance of getting involved, joining boards, and growing your network. Dawnmarie had always done that organically, but she hadn't done it thoughtfully. It was client-driven. [13:08] Dawnmarie went back to management and said that IICF board positions go to sponsor companies. She asked if Lloyd's would sponsor IICF and could she be chosen as the board member? That's where she got her first board experience. [13:24] Dawnmarie moved up and ended up Co-chair of the Boston Chapter. She learned a lot, and it prepared her for APIW. [13:41] A Quick Break!

[16:40] Dawnmarie says that the importance of building relationships with communication and transparency applies to risk managers as well. [16:49] Dawnmarie says that risk managers getting to know their brokers and underwriters, building relationships, telling their story, building trust, and understanding the insurance and why a specific carrier is being suggested goes a long way if there's a claim or wording issue. [17:47] Dawnmarie says with the relationships established, with the ability to pick up the phone and say, "We need to have a conversation," you've already set the stage. [18:11] Dawnmarie says emerging risks the insurance industry needs to pay attention to in the next three to five years include addressing AI. Will AI drive margins down? We need to leverage it to do our jobs better. We can't just decide that we're simply going to depend on it. [18:37] AI exists. It's there as a tool. We need to prepare our people to be able to assess it, analyze it, understand it, and program the prompts. The best prompt writers are getting the best results. [18:56] It doesn't mean it's a perfect result, so you need the ability to communicate, analyze, and explain why the output makes sense and how it applies. [19:20] Another emerging need is for more and more data and the ability to depend on that data, using AI to help understand it and being able to explain the data to the board why they can take a larger retention, or why we need more cover in this area. [19:54] Dawnmarie talks about weather-related events. Catastrophic events aren't going away; they're getting worse. Illinois has had more convective storms this year than any other state. It's unexpected and unprepared for. [20:16] The unexpected storm volume creates a shift for the underwriters, clients, and brokers, making sure they have the data to understand what's been exposed and what's been impacted. [20:30] The models need to address these shifts. We need, as an industry, to be pushing for that: the stronger the models, the more differentiated the models we can have. [20:42] Maybe that's where AI plays a great role, helping us in the changing and adaptation. These are trends Dawnmarie watches. She is so impressed with the data that Amwins has to work with. [21:06] When you have that good data, the world opens up to capital and new strategies. It makes a big difference in where an organization will go strategically. That impacts everybody. [21:23] Sponsorships! You can sponsor a RIMScast episode for this, our weekly show, or a dedicated episode. RIMScast is proud of its longstanding relationships with AXA XL, Global Risk Consultants, Alliant, Zurich, and more. [21:44] Links to many of these episodes are in the show notes.

[22:18] Let's Conclude Our Dialog with APIW President Dawnmarie Black! [22:54] To help make insurance careers more appealing to young professionals and career changers, Dawnmarie asks you to stop saying, "I just fell into insurance." We have a story to tell. [23:13] There is a reason someone came into this industry. It probably wasn't planned, but how they got started and why they stayed; we need to talk more about why people stay in insurance. Because they love it! It is a wonderful ecosystem for growth and travel. It's stable. [23:37] APIW just held Intern Days, one in New York, one in Chicago. This was their first year in Chicago, and about 20 people came. It was their second year in New York. About 50 came. [23:51] Dawnmarie says we do this out of our budget. There's no charge for it. We bring the interns together for four hours. They do a leadership panel, networking, and answering questions. [24:04] Dawnmarie says a lot of other associations do this. She mentions RISE Professionals. They had a terrific Leadership Conference and Gala in Florida. [24:20] That's an opportunity for young professionals to come together with very good programming around leadership. Networking with their peers and colleagues. Dressing up and going to a gala and celebrating. Dawnmarie has heard only positive feedback about that. [24:38] APIW supports RISE. RISE supports the APIW Mentorship Program. You'll see a lot of interconnectivity among the insurance associations. They partner to share great programs rather than duplicating efforts. It helps both associations. [25:01] The market in Charlotte rallies around Community Matters. There was a week-long session two weeks ago bringing in young children from under-represented communities to learn and understand about insurance. [25:20] Dawnmarie says those kinds of programs where we're reaching out to talent, not only through traditional risk management schools, but looking at non-traditional avenues and non-traditional diversity avenues, and the HBCUs. The Black Sisterhood does incredible work. [26:05] Justin gives a shoutout to the Spencer Educational Foundation. Dawnmarie says they have done such an incredible job in rallying the industry. [26:22] At the Spencer dinner, when the young professionals get up to speak, they are inspirational in their careers and their appreciation for the opportunities to come into this industry. Justin doesn't know how they found time to sleep, doing all they did while in college. [26:57] Justin and Dawnmarie discuss some of the speakers. He says, you hear these young people and wonder if they partied at all in college or were they just working on their risk management career? Justin notes there is the monetary incentive of scholarships and grants. [27:41] Dawnmarie speaks of the incredible amount of work ethic she sees in the students who have come through the Spencer Educational Foundation program. Justin says they inspire him to work a little harder. [28:08] Justin asks how we can keep the newer professionals engaged and committed to a long career. Dawnmarie says what seems to be important to them is that sense of community. [28:24] We all come to work to work, but there's also the culture that you create, the culture of trust, and the idea that there are mentorship opportunities, and more senior people in the organization looking out for you, helping propel your career and answering your questions. [28:48] Dawnmarie says that is key when you've got the younger generation, and you've got an experienced generation. In our industry, we have four or five different generations rolling through, all who come at things slightly differently. [29:03] Dawnmarie says it's about understanding where people are coming from. She speaks of investing in talent development programs and professional programs, allowing talent the opportunity to become involved in outside associations, and encouraging networking. [29:40] Dawnmarie closes this thought with the Amwins program, RTTP. They have people on the retirement track, senior brokers with books of business, and they have young people who are coming through the Broker Development Program. [30:14] Two get matched up. There's a relationship formed. The client is taken care of because there's succession planning and consistency. The two are learning from each other. The books are passed off. [30:28] There's respect for the experience that the senior broker brings to the table, and there's respect for what that young person is learning. Dawnmarie hasn't seen a lot of that across the industry. One of the things that enticed her about Amwins is that approach to the generations. [30:54] Justin says kudos to Amwins. He has met some Amwins folks at Riskworld, and they're lovely. A Justin and Dawnmarie have in common is Liz King Kramer, a former APIW President. Liz gave Justin an APIW pin. [31:18] Dawnmarie says Liz is the best! She has been mentoring Dawnmarie for over four years. Liz was Treasurer before Dawnmarie, and President before Dawnmarie. Liz helped Dawnmarie learn in both roles. She's become a terrific friend and partner. [31:42] Munich Re just hosted a Golf Day for women. Dawnmarie was on a Panel with Liz King Kramer and Sabrina Hart, and then they did a golf clinic. Liz is an incredible leader for APIW. [31:59] Dawnmarie says an APIW President's term is two years. Dawnmarie is at two years; however, she is going to extend for one more year. Then Tracey Vasile, who is an Industry Liaison and First Vice President, is going to step in. They will transition together. [32:27] The APIW is having its 50th Anniversary Gala on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026, at the Edison Ballroom in Manhattan on 47th Street. Everyone's gearing up. They are working on a wonderful video. Dawnmarie says it's going to be a night to remember; everybody dress up and celebrate! [32:56] Dawnmarie says the women who are involved, chapter heads from the various cities, the 2026 Woman of the Year, 14 past Women of the Year, and Cecilia Norad, the Founder of APIW, are all coming for an incredible lineup of programming, a beautiful dinner, and a beautiful event [33:47] Dawnmarie says it's for making connections and strengthening those connections. [33:51] Dawnmarie has had the opportunity to sit as a founder on Women In Specialty and Excess (WISE), an amazing emerging organization, and it was simply too much for her between being President of APIW and being part of WISE, so she stepped back. [34:07] Dawnmarie said what it made her realize is that the professionals in this industry, it could be any of the associations, step up, look outside of their sphere, and create these opportunities for other people to connect in these associations. [34:26] Dawnmarie says when she thinks about 50 years, she thinks about all the work that has gone into standing up WISE or what Amy Cooper did with RISE, and where she's taking it. Fifty years of doing it really says a lot. [34:40] Dawnmarie says it's a time to pause and think: where are we going for our next 50? Because we're going to be here and we're going to be delivering the program, the networking, the development, and the leadership. [34:52] Dawnmarie says that is what we're excited about. We're looking at the past, the current, the future, and bringing in the young professionals; the people who helped build it and the young professionals, bridging that divide. [35:36] Dawnmarie says she has a level of comfort on stage. During COVID, she learned that she struggles with virtual presentations. [35:47] Dawnmarie used to get nervous in front of people; now she gets excited because she feels the energy in the room, she's creating the conversation, and engaging people. It is such a different experience. In a way, she's grateful for the virtual experience. It's taken away the fear. [36:12] Justin says, Dawnmarie, it has been a pleasure to connect with you here on RIMScast. A quick reminder for everyone: The APIW's 50th Anniversary Gala will be on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at the Edison Ballroom at 47th Street in Manhattan. [36:28] Justin says, Dawnmarie will be there. If you attend, please let her know that you heard this RIMScast interview, and that's what piqued your interest to get there. I look forward to seeing you at RIMS events and Spencer events, too. [36:41] Dawnmarie thanks Justin and RIMS and says, 350 of us at the Gala, maybe more. We look forward to seeing you there. [36:54] Special thanks again to Dawnmarie Black of Amwins and APIW for joining us here on RIMScast. APIW's 50th Anniversary Gala will be on November 3, 2026, at the Edison Ballroom in New York City.

(#351) Fashion isn't superficial. It's spell work.This week, Zoey sits down with celebrity stylist Lo VonRumpf. Lo walks us through his own journey with style and self expression: a love letter to the five-year-old with the Hello Kitty bag. That kid is now the man dressing some of the most recognizable people on the planet.Style, it turns out, was never just fabric for Lo. It was protection. It was survival. He walks us through fashion as manifestation – a way of becoming who you're meant to be one outfit at a time. Zoey pulls Lo's numerology into the mix too, (a birthday number 3 with a double 8 life path and destiny number), tying those numbers straight into who he is and how he moves through the world. They go behind the curtain of the entertainment industry, into the real fear that comes with fame, and into how he's managed to stay grounded through all of it.In this episode we're talking about:00:00 Welcome back to The Higher Self Hotline!04:18 Little Lo and Style Origins11:49 Bullying Resilience and Empathy22:29 Breaking Into Celebrity Styling32:58 Style Numbers and Justice35:16 Fear of Fame43:27 Power and Authenticity53:03 Fashion as ManifestationStay in touch with Lo:InstagramTikTok
Method dressing is once again dominating the red carpet. At the Los Angeles premiere of “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” on July 27, Zendaya arrived in an Ashi Studio fall 2026 gown with a plunging neckline framed by sculptural elements resembling a spider's appendages. Three days later, she and longtime stylist Law Roach continued the narrative at the film's London premiere with a cream Tamara Ralph couture gown traced with metallic, web-like lines. The London look was finished with a diamond-encrusted gold spider brooch by couture jewelry designer Keren Wolf, placed at the base of Zendaya's back. The piece was originally created to form part of a spiderweb headpiece designed by Shani Dvorkin with Wolf, before being reworked as an embellishment for the gown. Tom Holland joined in with an articulated spider brooch by British jeweler Pragnell, worn on the knot of his tie. The appearances were the latest demonstration of the red-carpet strategy Zendaya and Roach have helped turn into an entertainment-marketing event of its own, from “Dune” to “The Odyssey”. Instead of treating each premiere as an isolated fashion moment, they build a visual world across photocalls, press events and carpets, giving fans another reference to identify and circulate with every appearance. During the current “Spider-Man” tour, that has included a vintage Giorgio Armani dress covered in silver cobwebs at the film's Rome premiere on June 23 and a $34.99 vintage Spider-Man T-shirt sourced on eBay for a Paris photocall two days later. The pair have simultaneously been promoting Christopher Nolan's “The Odyssey,” shifting between literal spider references and contemporary interpretations of Greek dress. But as increasingly recognizable references become a fixture of movie promotion, celebrity stylist Micaela Erlanger believes the most successful looks should not resemble costumes. Erlanger, whose clients include Lupita Nyong'o and Meryl Streep, prefers the term “meta dressing”: using colors, silhouettes and more discreet cultural references to connect an actor's wardrobe to a project without overwhelming the person wearing it. “For me, it hasn't always felt like it has to be that literal,” Erlanger said on the Glossy Podcast this week. “I like the idea of referencing a character, or referencing a film, a moment, a dialogue or a period in time, without it having to feel gimmicky or obvious.” Erlanger used that approach while styling Nyong'o, who plays Helen of Troy, for “The Odyssey” press tour. At the film's London premiere on July 6, Nyong'o wore a silver Christian Cowan gown with a relatively restrained silhouette from the front, but deep sculptural cutouts beneath the arms that revealed her figure from the side. Rather than reaching for an overtly Grecian chiffon dress, Erlanger wanted the look to communicate Helen's legendary beauty more indirectly. “She's playing Helen of Troy, the most beautiful woman in the world,” Erlanger said. “You don't need a lot of clothing or a whole lot of look when it's about who the woman wearing the dress is and how she stands on her own.” Erlanger had limited information when she began working on the wardrobe. Nolan is known for keeping his films private, while Nyong'o initially disclosed little beyond the identity of her character. Erlanger instead drew from Homer's poem, Greek mythology and her own interpretation of Helen. For an earlier New York appearance, Nyong'o wore a custom Sally LaPointe look with ostrich feathers. The idea was developed by Erlanger and Nyong'o as a reference to the story that Helen was born after Zeus took the form of a swan. “If you know, you know,” Erlanger said. “Lovers of the book and Greek mythology might be able to pick up on that.” The outfit still worked independently for audiences unfamiliar with the reference, which is central to Erlanger's distinction between meta dressing and simply recreating a film's costume. She applied the same thinking while styling Streep during the press tour for “The Devil Wears Prada 2.” At an April 12 event in Shanghai, Streep wore a cobalt-blue Saint Laurent military-inspired coat dress with oversized sunglasses, subtly recalling both Miranda Priestly and the original film's famous cerulean monologue. In the speech, Priestly describes cerulean military jackets supposedly shown by Yves Saint Laurent before the color filtered down through the fashion system. The collection described in the screenplay never actually existed, making Streep's coat what Erlanger called “a reference within a reference.” “If you were paying attention, you would pick up on these kinds of things,” she said. Social media has made such details increasingly valuable. An obscure reference decoded by fans can become a viral post, generating attention for the actor, stylist, designer and film simultaneously. It has also brought stylists themselves out from behind the scenes. Erlanger said their work now extends far beyond choosing attractive clothes, encompassing public-image management, brand exposure and the strategic positioning of clients. “We are responsible for shaping the public image of some of the biggest names in entertainment,” she said. “There's a whole business to all of it.”

Send us Fan Mail Trends can make you feel like you are constantly behind, but your wardrobe is not a monthly subscription to someone else's approval. Nazish sits down with entrepreneur and visual designer Sarunas Rodriguez, founder of Ask My Wardrobe, to talk about the surprisingly deep relationship between clothing, self-image, and confidence and why “style” is often a mental habit before it is a fashion choice. We dig into how social media trends push people to buy outfits they do not even like, then wonder why they feel uncomfortable wearing them. Sarunas shares how personal style is shaped by lifestyle and identity, why first impressions matter more than we want to admit, and how the right outfit for the right occasion can change the way you carry yourself and how people treat you. We also talk about confidence building for introverts, including a simple 30-day practice of returning to the same public place to realise most people are busy living their own lives. Then we get practical: planning repeatable daily outfits, preparing looks a few days ahead to cut stress, and spotting the “closet trap” of owning lots of clothes but using only a small percentage.

How did Dr. No transform Sean Connery from a self-described rough diamond into the most sophisticated action hero in cinema?In the first episode of Dressing James Bond, London bespoke tailor Roberto Revilla examines the costumes, tailoring and carefully chosen details that established James Bond's style in 1962 and created a blueprint the series is still following more than sixty years later.Beginning with Connery's iconic entrance at the casino in his midnight-blue dinner suit, Roberto explores the influence of director Terence Young, the tailoring associated with Anthony Sinclair's Conduit Cut and the complicated history behind the shirts, suits and suppliers credited with creating Bond's wardrobe.Along the way, we examine the grey flannel suit that was completely wrong for the Jamaican climate, the lightweight Glen check and mohair suits that worked far better, Bond's navy doeskin blazer, Turnbull & Asser cocktail cuffs, grenadine ties, black Derby shoes and the powder-blue polo shirt and matching trousers worn on Crab Key.We also look beyond Bond himself to explore Dr. No's Nehru-style clothing, the way costume is used to take control away from Bond inside the villain's lair and the collaborative story behind Ursula Andress's famous Honey Ryder bikini.Most importantly, Roberto brings everything back into the real world and asks what men can still learn from Dr. No without dressing as though they're heading to a James Bond fancy-dress convention.Is Connery's midnight-blue dinner suit still the greatest first appearance in film-style history? And if you could take one piece from Bond's Dr. No wardrobe, which would you choose?Follow Tailoring Talk Magazine so you don't miss episode two, when Dressing James Bond continues with From Russia with Love.Read the accompanying article at robertorevillalondon.com.

On the pod today, we're discussing a question from a sweet listener who wrote in and asked: "I know in order to find peace with food and fully embrace recovery, I must increase my food intake and my portion sizes. However, I'm truly anxious and scared every time I think about this. How do I stick with it and make it a habit that builds momentum?" Sis, I adore this question — because I have been right there. If you're terrified to even think about increasing your portions, or you feel like you're already at capacity, I want you to know: you are right where you need to be listening to today's episode. It's okay to be afraid — you're about to do something brave We've been programmed by a culture where less is more. Dressing on the side. Don't drink your calories. You don't need those carbs. Everything is elimination, elimination, elimination. So of course it feels scary to go the other direction. When my dietitian first handed me my meal plan, I looked at it and thought, there is no way in H-E-double-hockey-sticks. Every fear flooded in. But here's the truth: it's okay to be afraid, because you're about to do something that is going to bring you future joy. This takes courage. And your future self is looking back at the you sitting here right now saying, "Yes, girl. You're going to rock this recovery thing." Step 1: Understand your resistance When you think about adding more to your day, what actually comes up? Fear of weight gain? Anxiety that you'll lose control and never stop? A flood of old rules — when would I fit that in, what would I choose, I can't have this if I have that? That's just your brain spinning. See yourself in that place without judgment — because the resistance shows up precisely when you're about to embark on something amazing. It's okay to be scared and still do the dang thing. Fear is what keeps the cycle going: heaviness → restriction → overwhelm → shame → right back where you started. The way out is building new dominant pathways in your mind — and that starts with what you practice on repeat. Step 2: Know the truth about nourishment Don't just tolerate the idea that eating more is "better" — coach yourself on why. Adequate nutrition supports healing for your organs, your muscles, your skin, your hair. It fuels the basics — breathing, circulation, digestion. It regulates hormones that directly impact your mood and health. It armors up your immune system and protects your bones for the long haul. This isn't about shame for lost time, sis. It's about the reframe: "This is what I'm doing for my future self, because my body deserves this level of healing." And swap the mindset: instead of more food = weight gain, try "I'm finally supporting my body's natural regulation. My body is learning to trust me, and I'm learning to trust it." Food is medicine. It's a non-negotiable — stop making it optional. Step 3: Practical ways to gently increase Work with a dietitian. I'll say it plainly: I'm a certified health coach, not a dietitian — and the single best move for portions and meal planning is a professional who specializes in this. They can help with visual aids, adequate-meal guidance, and the "plate distortion" that makes it hard to even know what a normal portion looks like. If you don't have one yet, finding one is worth it. Go gradual and small. Don't overhaul every meal at once. Pick one small, consistent addition and honor it — then build week after week. Small steps compound. Make it a game. Can I add a little more of this? A little something extra there? Each tiny win proves to your mind that you're capable — and that empowered feeling builds real momentum. Add variety. If your meals or meal times are rigid, gently challenge it. Try a different lunch. Add something new in a gap in your day. What's one thing you could commit to this week? Create a mindful eating environment. Eat where you feel safe, supported, and connected — not rushed, watched, or on the go. Set healthy boundaries where you need them. Get accountability. Tell a loved one your plan for tonight and ask them to hold you to it. Or let someone you trust support you at mealtimes. This is also exactly what a coach is for. A few lines from the episode "It's okay to be afraid, because you're about to do something that is going to bring you future joy." "Fear will keep you stuck in the cycle. Courage — small, gradual courage — breaks it." "My body is learning to trust me, and I'm learning to trust it." "Food is medicine. Stop making it optional." "It's okay to not be feeling it — and it's still okay to do it." Your one thing this week Decide on your increase. Ask yourself: "What is the one thing I'm going to choose that will prove to myself that I'm capable?" Then go do it — gradually, small, and committed. Ask "how can I care for my body today?" and follow through. Connect with Lindsey:

Grab your iced coffee because I'm finally sharing my full Disneyland game plan. I'm walking through how our family plans park days, what I pack, where we eat, how I use Lightning Lane and mobile ordering, which rides we hit first, where we stay, and why I still bring a stroller even with bigger tiny humans.I also want to talk about the part no itinerary can control: overstimulation, tired kids, changing moods, and the pressure parents can feel after spending so much money on a magical day. This is not the one perfect way to do Disney. It is simply what has helped our family make more room for the rides, snacks, memories, and magic.00:00 Welcome to After Hours With Amanda00:21 I'm Finally Sharing My Disneyland Guide02:28 Why Disneyland Feels Different to Me04:03 When to Go and Whether Lightning Lane Is Worth It05:00 What I Pack for Every Disneyland Trip07:28 The Stroller, Locker and Wet-Shoe Debate09:02 Dressing for a Full Park Day and Packing Snacks10:59 Preparing for Tiny-Human Meltdowns12:50 Dining Reservations and Taking a Break13:57 My Disneyland Rope Drop Game Plan18:42 Using the App and Planning Lightning Lanes21:28 Adventureland, Frontierland and Galaxy's Edge24:00 Disneyland Food and Mobile-Order Favorites26:30 My Disney California Adventure Strategy31:41 Hotels, Nighttime Shows and Final Tips

A talk by Thanissaro Bhikkhu entitled "Dressing Wounds"
Prince Andrew's bond with Queen Elizabeth II was always treated as one of the great protected relationships inside the House of Windsor. He was widely described as her favorite child, and even as the Epstein scandal shredded his public standing, the Queen repeatedly appeared reluctant to fully cast him out. Reporting has described her standing by him after his disastrous 2019 BBC Newsnight interview, allowing him to step back from duties rather than immediately stripping him of everything, and later permitting him to remain Duke of York and a prince while the scandal continued to metastasize. Even in 2022, after Andrew had settled Virginia Giuffre's civil case without admitting liability, the Queen chose him to escort her into Prince Philip's memorial service — a public gesture that was widely read as motherly protection at the exact moment the institution should have been running from him.That “special relationship” is what made the Balmoral episode so revealing. In September 2020, Queen Elizabeth reportedly summoned Andrew to Balmoral for crisis talks over Jeffrey Epstein, with Andrew leaving Windsor for the Scottish Highlands to brief his mother after another summer of damaging revelations. The reports said the Queen wanted to be kept informed, that “so much” had come out, and that Andrew's Epstein ties — including Virginia Giuffre's allegations, his catastrophic BBC explanations, and his alleged lack of cooperation with U.S. investigators — were still poisoning the monarchy. The image is damning: not a disgraced royal facing full institutional accountability, but a protected son being called in for a private family reckoning with “mummy” at Balmoral. And that has always been the central problem with Andrew — the scandal was never just about his relationship with Epstein; it was about how long royal privilege softened the consequences.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Amelie Polk, of Ask Amelie, through her own harrowing journey from burnout, chronic illness, and rigid self-optimization to vibrant alignment, has cracked the code on one of astrology's most misunderstood truths — that the stars don't dictate your fate; they give you permission to finally be yourself.In this episode, Amelie shares the practical, body-based framework that's transforming how we approach daily life: using your Mars sign to find workouts you'll actually love, your Venus sign to dress for self-worth and attraction, and your Chiron placement to turn your deepest wounds into your greatest medicine. Not abstract spirituality. Not vague predictions. An actual manual for unlearning society's shoulds and reclaiming your energetic signature.We go deep into the massive planetary shifts ahead — Chiron's transit into Taurus (a collective reckoning with money, body image, and safety), Jupiter's move into Leo (visibility, performance, and the fall of inauthentic fame), and Pluto's relentless push to tear down corrupt structures for a more empowered collective.This may just be the most grounded cosmic conversation you'll hear. Are you living your chart — or are you still performing someone else's?

How do we live a good life? What components do we need to create a purposeful existence? Far too often, we get trapped into thinking that our lives must look a certain way by a certain age.
