When was the last time something changed in your life and you just... moved on? Didn't name it, didn't sit with it, just kept going? That's worth a second look. Kathy Mela spent 45 years in the NICU before becoming The Grief Navigator. Her take on grief will probably surprise you. Because she's not just talking about loss through death. She's talking about the grief of an empty nest, a career that ends, an identity you outgrow, a version of yourself you quietly left behind. In this conversation, Kathy breaks down why so many of us are walking around with unnamed grief and what it actually looks like to move through it.  We get into the difference between sorrow and grief, why anger and disconnection are often grief in disguise, and a framework for navigating any life transition with more self-compassion and less self-judgment.

When kids leave home it's one of the biggest transitional moments of parenting. Feelings range from grief to excitement to loneliness to adventure, for many a mashup of all of these, and that's just in the first week! This episode covers how we can prepare ourselves (and our kids) for this new era, by setting boundaries, expressing expectations, finding our people, and tons of communication with everyone involved. Sprinkled throughout are some major lessons learned by Cara and Vanessa–oof!–and advice for those soon to embark on this phase. Show Notes: Watch the full episode on Youtube!

What happens when a woman who spent decades holding everyone else together finally has no choice but to let go? In episode 265 of Joy Found Here, Florence Acosta — former Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, healthcare executive, and the person everyone leaned on — shares how a stroke at 50 became the moment that shattered her old identity and cracked her wide open. Her story is a powerful reminder that sometimes the body says stop long before we ever will.In This Episode, You Will Learn:(3:46) How Florence went from holding everything together to having a stroke at 50(6:05) Why chronic givers struggle to receive — and the mindset keeping them stuck(7:43) The sisterhood circle that cracked open her awareness around control and letting go(11:51) The childhood moment at age three that silently took her voice for decades(13:17) How writing on Substack became an unexpected act of reclaiming her voice(20:54) How the Miracle Morning helps Florence create space and stay grounded in recovery(23:04) The "Question of the Day" ritual she runs for her Substack subscribers(24:15) Florence's new business venture with her sister — and why she broke her own rule(26:41) Her "C-cubed" self-care approach: cooking, crocheting, and creative writing(31:03) Why people want to help — and how telling them how changes everythingFlorence Acosta spent nearly 30 years in healthcare — first as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, then as executive director of a surgical center — carrying the weight of patients, teams, and everyone around her without ever pausing to fill her own cup. At 50, a stroke caused by an undetected arteriovenous malformation forced her to stop, and through the slow road of recovery, a women's sisterhood circle, and the discovery of writing, she found the voice she had quietly lost decades before. Today she writes about intentional living, mindset, and personal development through her Substack publication Becoming You with Florence Acosta.In this episode, Florence shares how decades of over-giving as both a healthcare professional and the person everyone leaned on ultimately led to her stroke — and how that rupture became the catalyst for rebuilding on her own terms. She traces her lifelong silence back to a childhood moment at age three, and how Substack became the unexpected place where she finally reclaimed her voice. Florence also opens up about her Miracle Morning practice, a new business venture with her sister, and her "C-cubed" self-care approach — cooking, crocheting, and creative writing — while delivering a powerful message to fellow chronic givers: open your hands and let people in before life forces you to.Connect with Florence Acosta:SubstackInstagramLet's Connect:WebsiteInstagram Hosted on Acast.

This week, Carla and Dex are back with one of those conversations that somehow starts with body changes in your 40s, detours through parenting philosophies, and lands in some of the biggest questions women ask themselves in midlife: What happens when you stop trying? The episode opens with a candid catch-up on life lately empty nesting, dating, career pivots, raising neurodivergent children, fitness goals, and figuring out who you are when the roles you've always identified with start to shift. As both women navigate very different seasons of motherhood, they reflect on what it means to build a life that feels full beyond work, relationships, and parenting. They also dive into the growing backlash against "gentle parenting" and explore the difference between parenting with empathy and parenting without boundaries. Carla and Dex unpack how their own childhood experiences shaped the way they parent today, what they've had to unlearn, and why self-awareness may be one of the most important parenting tools we have. The conversation takes a heavier turn as they discuss the tragic Carmelo Anthony case and the devastating consequences that can come from a single moment of conflict. Through the lens of motherhood, they explore accountability, self-defense, emotional regulation, and the difficult realities of raising children in today's world. Later, things lighten up with a hilarious womanhood segment featuring dating hot takes, relationship boundaries, attraction red flags, and a few questions that reveal just how different and how similar their views on love, intimacy, and relationships really are. But the heart of this episode centers around a listener letter from a woman who admits she's emotionally checked out of her marriage and feels relieved about it. Together, Carla and Dex explore the difference between burnout, resentment, emotional numbness, and knowing when a relationship may have reached a crossroads. They discuss therapy, communication, perimenopause, and the importance of being honest with yourself before making life-changing decisions. Because sometimes the question isn't: "Should I leave?" Sometimes the question is: "When did I stop showing up?" In This Episode: The unexpected realities of your 40s Empty nesting and rediscovering yourself Gentle parenting vs. permissive parenting Breaking generational parenting patterns The Carmelo Anthony case and accountability Dating standards that change with age Relationship red flags we once thought were attractive Why emotional numbness can be a warning sign Marriage burnout vs. relationship disconnection Perimenopause and its impact on relationships Learning to communicate before resentment becomes permanent   CONNECT WITH US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: CARLA WILMARIS | DEX

For 20 years, Collin Corbett helped get Republicans elected in Illinois. This spring he walked away from his party, took a leave from his firm, shut down his own political podcast, filed 37,000 signatures — and now he's running for Governor as an Independent while Darren Bailey's campaign tries to knock him off the ballot. Pete and Rick Lesser put your questions to him — the ones from the Lake Forest Lake Bluff News group: the pension crisis (yes, Squeezy the Python makes an appearance), property taxes, mental health, abortion, the Bears, and why Illinois keeps losing people, jobs, and businesses to neighboring states. He answered almost everything — and when the spoiler question came, he answered it directly. We document. You decide.

Stefan Gleason, President and CEO of Money Metals Exchange, joins Brian Nichols to reveal what's really inside Fort Knox - and why central banks just bought 244 tons of gold in 90 days while your dollar quietly dies in your pocket. Here's the part nobody wants audited... the US gold reserves haven't had a legitimate audit in DECADES, 83% of it isn't even pure gold, and the experts say it would take 20 years just to refine it to modern standards. So what happens if we finally open the vault... and it's empty? Inside, you'll hear the uncensored breakdown of the biggest unanswered question in American finance. We walk you right up to the vault door. Stefan - a guy who runs one of the largest precious metals depositories in North America - explains why the way Washington manages your gold "wouldn't pass muster in any private depository," why the new Fed chairman quietly admitted the government plays in the gold market, and whether the most secure building in America is actually holding what they say it is. The dollar in your pocket is a political tool. They can print it, freeze it, weaponize it, and devalue it overnight by design. Gold and silver? They can't touch. So why do most Americans still own ZERO ounces of either... while central banks around the world quietly stack it by the ton? You'll hear the truth about whether it's too late to buy gold in 2026, the #1 rookie mistake that leaves beginners 50% underwater the second they buy, how to spot a rare-coin scam from a fair deal, and the surprising state-level wins happening right now while DC sleeps - 45 states now exempt gold and silver from sales tax, with Maryland and Alaska being the latest to move.

What happens when nine experienced hikers flee their tent in the middle of a Siberian winter, leaving behind their boots, gear, and any chance of a normal explanation?In 1959, the Dyatlov Pass Incident became one of the most famous unsolved mysteries in outdoor history. A group of young hikers set out into the Ural Mountains and never returned. When rescuers finally reached the scene, they found a tent cut open from the inside, strange injuries, missing gear, and more questions than answers.Joining me is Kevin Goldberg from the Distance to Empty podcast as we break down what actually happened, the evidence, the most popular theories, and a few theories that are probably not supported by science.We discuss avalanches, military testing, Soviet secrecy, hypothermia, survival decisions, and of course whether a Yeti may have been involved.This episode is a little different from the usual Free Outside conversations, but if you love the outdoors, adventure stories, and unsolved mysteries, you're going to enjoy this one.Let us know what you think happened at Dyatlov Pass.#DyatlovPass #OutdoorMystery #FreeOutsidePodcast #DistanceToEmpty #Hiking #Backpacking #TrueCrime #AdventureStoriesSupport our Sponsors: Sawyer: https://sawyerdirect.net/Janji (code: Freeoutside): https://snp.link/a0bfb726CS Coffee: CSinstant.coffeeGarage Grown Gear: https://snp.link/db1ba8abSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside#Trailrunning #Runningnews #Outdoors #Outdooradventure

This is Ben's second appearance on the podcast and he's always welcome - fun fact - Kate named her son (Ben) after Ben Shephard - so as you can imagine - there's a lot of love between the two - and it makes for an exceptional conversation.

What if the dream you worked so hard to build… is now also the thing slowly draining you? DREAM THINK DO favorite Jess Ekstrom returns to the podcast for her THIRD appearance - and this might be our deepest conversation yet. You probably know Jess as the founder of Headbands of Hope, the company she launched out of her dorm room that went on to impact millions of lives around the world. Since then, she's launched other successful businesses, become a bestselling author, and sought-after speaker. But this conversation goes beyond business growth, productivity hacks, or hustle culture. Because Jess's new book, Making It Without Losing It, tackles a tension so many high achievers quietly wrestle with: What happens when you finally achieve success… but still feel anxious, exhausted, restless, or strangely unfulfilled? If you've ever: Felt successful on paper… but empty in real life... Wondered if your ambition is costing you too much... Struggled to slow down because success feels tied to safety... Or felt pressure to keep achieving… even when you're tired... This episode is going to hit home. Read the full shownotes at https://mitchmatthews.com/456

Kevin and Peter sit down with Jameson Collins, Destination Trail's HQ manager and course marking director, who just spent a week hanging dragons and ribbons across the entire course. Fresh off the trail, Jameson walks us through the loop aid station by aid station, with current-as-of-race-week intel on snow, water, blowdown, and everything in between.This year's race is a tale of two courses: a wild, remote, technical first ~100 miles through the Caldor Fire scar and forgotten corners of the El Dorado National Forest, then a return to the smooth, groomed "fairytale" Tahoe Rim Trail experience from Barker Pass home. Jameson breaks down where you'll be post-holing through soft snow (and why microspikes won't save you), which sections feel like bushwhacking dragon-to-dragon, where the jeeps will be crawling up Cadillac Hill, and why Wrights-to-Loon is the single hardest leg out there.Plus: gear and spike strategy, dressing for the brush and burn scars, the three sleep stations (Wrights Lake, Barker Pass, Brockway Summit), where the course dries out and water gets scarce, the brutal final climb under the Heavenly ski lifts, and Jameson's best advice for anyone tempted to quit with hours of cushion still in the bank.Race starts Friday, June 12 at 9 AM. 105-hour cutoff. Heavenly Stagecoach Lodge start/finish. Pacers allowed from Loon Lake (mile 87.6).Guest: Jameson Collins — Destination Trail HQ manager, course marking director, and founder of Huda Trail.

Hey Doc—If you're looking for an au pair right now and wondering whether all the good candidates have disappeared into thin air, you're not imagining it.I've had several physician moms ask me how I find au pairs when the agency websites seem completely picked over. And since I'm currently searching for a new au pair myself, the timing felt perfect to pull back the curtain on exactly how I do it.This is not a conversation about choosing an agency or comparing program fees. This is about creating a process that keeps you organized, efficient, and significantly less likely to lose your mind during the search.Because if you're anything like me, you already have a career, a family, and approximately 47 other responsibilities. Spending hours scrolling through profiles only to forget who you've already contacted is not the best use of your time.In this episode, I'm sharing the system I built during our last search, the one that helped us find an amazing au pair who stayed with our family for years. You'll hear why I start outside the agency apps, how I organize candidates, where I actually find people, and the simple preparation that makes the entire process smoother.In this episode, I discuss:Why the au pair apps may not be the best place to start your searchThe simple organizational system that keeps candidates from slipping through the cracksHow I use Facebook groups strategically without getting trapped scrolling for hoursWhat information I track for every candidateThe message template that saves me time and helps start conversations quicklyWhy preparation matters more than most people realizeFinding childcare support shouldn't feel like a second full-time job.A little organization on the front end can save you hours of frustration later.

Burnout isn't just a personal problem — it's a systemic one, and right now it's affecting nearly everyone, everywhere, all at once. In this host episode of Uncover the Human, Cristina Amigoni and Alex Cullimore dig into why burnout has gone from an occupational hazard in high-pressure industries to a near-universal experience. They trace the roots of this moment — stagnating wages, constant organizational churn, a loss of community — and make the case that AI adoption, handled recklessly, is pouring accelerant on an already burning fire. The fear of replacement, the pressure to adopt tools without clear direction, and the quiet grief of watching companies replace people rather than grow them are all adding emotional weight that workers are being asked to carry alone.But the conversation doesn't stop at the diagnosis. Cristina and Alex share two frameworks they regularly use with leaders and teams to address burnout at its source: values alignment (checking whether personal ethics are being quietly compromised at work) and Working Genius (helping teams distribute work in ways that energize rather than drain). They also introduce Siamo on the DL, a monthly space for leaders to connect and talk honestly about the struggles that are hard to name inside an organization. If you've been feeling like you're running on empty and aren't sure why — or you're a leader trying to figure out how to actually help your people — this episode is worth your time.

You have friends… so why do you still feel lonely? Friendships are more important than ever in adulthood, but they become increasingly hard to make and maintain. But we're in a real loneliness epidemic where most adults feel unseen, alone, and disconnected *even though* they have lots of connections in their lives. The real reason no one's talking about? The “depth gap” that keeps us from being truly vulnerable and connected. Because the problem isn't always that we need more friends… it's that we don't feel known by the people in our lives. In this episode, we're diving into the psychology of modern friendship with psychologist Dr. Elisabeth Crain. From attachment styles and friendship patterns to reciprocity, resentment, and friendship breakups, this interview is a roadmap for healthier, more fulfilling friendships. Tune in to hear: • Why adult friendships are harder to build and maintain  • The "Depth Gap" and why loneliness is often a quality issue, not a quantity issue • How fear of vulnerability and rejection impact intimacy • Attachment styles in friendships • Understanding your friendship blueprint and relationship patterns • Fast-burn versus slow-burn friendships… why pacing matters • Managing reciprocity, imbalance and resentment • The importance of healthy criticism • Tuning into your body's reaction to people  • The art of discernment in picking the right friendships • Why friendships fracture in adulthood Follow Dr. Elisabeth Crain: https://www.drelisabethcrain.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.elisabeth.crain  Subscribe to my Substack:teachmehowtoadult.substack.comFollow us on the ‘gram:@teachmehowtoadultmedia@gillian.bernerFollow on TikTok: @teachmehowtoadultSubscribe on YouTube

There is a village in the apple country of western New York called Sodus, up in Wayne County near the south shore of Lake Ontario, about thirty miles east of Rochester. This is fruit-belt land, orchard and muck field running back from the lake, roadside stands selling cider in the fall, the big cold lake holding the frost off the trees in spring. In October the orchards go heavy and the light comes in low and gold across the drumlins, the long humped hills the glaciers left behind. A few thousand people, one central school the whole area feeds into, the worst trouble in a given year usually a bad wreck out on Route 14. The kind of place where a double murder in a driveway on a sunny Monday afternoon does not just grieve people, it cracks the basic understanding they have about where they live.On the twenty-second of October, 2018, a Monday, that understanding broke. It broke on a short residential street called Carlton Street, a block of modest houses near the Sodus Central School, the kind of street where people leave the doors unlocked and the kids ride bikes in the road. At a little after three in the afternoon, in full daylight, with neighbors home and children about, a young couple was shot to death in the driveway of their own home. By the time the first deputy arrived, the shooter was gone and the street had become a crime scene that the people who saw it would carry for the rest of their lives.Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp and use my code betterhelp.com for a great deal: https://www.betterhelp.com* Check out BetterHelp and use my code betterhelp.com for a great deal: https://www.betterhelp.com* Check out Chime and use my code chime.com/OBSCURA for a great deal: https://www.chime.com* Check out Mood and use my code OBSCURA for a great deal: https://mood.com* Check out Progressive: https://www.progressive.com* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/obscura for a great deal: https://www.quince.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/obscura-a-true-crime-podcast/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Death doula Darnell Lamont Walker, author of "Never Can Say Goodbye: The Life of a Death Doula and the Art of a Peaceful End," came to this work young. At just 12 years old, he sat with his dying cousin during the AIDS crisis. At 13, he helped classmates grieve the death of a friend. Darnell shares with Sarah how his grandma's fearless, open-hearted approach to death shaped those early experiences and everything that followed. He explains why grief doesn't have just one face: it can look like starting a garden, running a marathon, laughing hysterically, or crying at a red light. Darnell and Sarah also discuss their shared belief that adventure and creativity can be the ultimate antidotes to despair.

Shop my all-natural skincare products at Arvoti.com.Starting the homestead lifestyle is easier than most people think.Somewhere along the way, we got sold the idea that homesteading requires acres of land, a farmhouse, and cows at sunrise. It doesn't. The version most people never hear about starts in a kitchen, with a mason jar and a bag of scraps you were going to throw away.So many of us feel a pull toward a slower way of living right now, and there are real reasons behind it. Grocery prices keep climbing. Empty shelves still sit fresh in our memory. Ingredient labels read like a chemistry experiment. The systems we depend on feel more fragile than we were told they were.The skills I started with are small and practical. Homemade broth easily comes together from kitchen scraps.

Gene shares a second round of shots.

The parallels to the Ghost Cities of China are eerily similar to the AI Data Center Boom in America. Ludvig von Mises' key insight into this area is that REAL RESOURCES are redirected in a CENTRAL PLANNING manner, which steers resources away from consumer lines of consumption into long-term investment plans that are too big to finish given the demand that comes from consumers. This distortion in the structure of production leads to a MAJOR HEART ATTACK in the economy that results in liquidation and re-allocation of resources back toward consumer preferences.More Perfect Union Production - Data Centershttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLX_w0TtBpY

You keep telling everyone the business is fine, and your pipeline, your LinkedIn profile, and your bank balance at the end of the month keep telling the truth. In this episode I go back to the years I spent saying "great" to anyone who asked, while my body was in kidney failure and everyone around me could see what I refused to. I see SaaS partners doing the exact same thing, using AI to make their delivery sharper than ever while the footpath outside stays empty. Nobody could help me until I let someone close enough to see what was actually going on, and the same holds for a business you keep describing as fine. If you have been saying everything's okay for a lot longer than you know is true, this one is worth sitting with.Resources and LinksNeed help with your WHO and WHAT decisions?

"You can't pour from an empty cup." It's a phrase that floods social media feeds and self-care conversations — and on the surface, it sounds reasonable. But in this episode, Emily Rose Massey gently but boldly challenges the ideology beneath it. Because if we wait until our cup is perfectly full before we give to others, we may wait forever — and miss the profound, counter-cultural beauty of a life lived in total dependence on God's grace. The Christian life, as modeled by Jesus Himself, is not one of self-preservation first. It is one of sacrifice, selflessness, and humility. Philippians 2:3-4 calls us to regard others as more important than ourselves — not from a place of overflow, but from a place of surrender. Jesus didn't wait until conditions were ideal. He stepped down from a heavenly throne, emptied Himself, took the form of a servant, and gave everything. Emily invites us to ask a searching question: what do we reach for when we feel like we're running on empty? The world offers endless distractions and temporary fixes — but God may be inviting us to something better. When we come to the end of our own strength, His strength can finally shine through. And an empty cup, offered to God in humility, may be exactly what He uses to fill others and conform us into the image of Christ. Today's Bible Verse "Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others." — Philippians 2:3-4, NASB Ponder Today The Christian life is one of sacrifice, not self-preservation. Jesus is our model — and He did not wait until He was "full" before giving. He emptied Himself completely, and in doing so, showed us the way of true humility. Weakness is not a barrier to serving others — it is an invitation to depend on God. When we reach the end of our own strength, His strength has room to shine. Our limitations are not obstacles to His work; they are the very conditions He works through (2 Corinthians 12:9). What you reach for when you're running on empty reveals what you truly trust. Worldly distractions and temporary fixes will never truly fill you. God wants to be your first stop, not your last resort. Vulnerability with others is an act of love, not weakness. Isolating ourselves when we're struggling robs the Body of Christ of the opportunity to serve us — and us of the opportunity to experience God's grace through community. God gives grace to the humble. When we stop striving to fill our own cup and bow before Him in our emptiness, He meets us there — with the grace, strength, and renewal we could never manufacture on our own (James 4:6). A Prayer for You Today Heavenly Father, there are so many days when I feel drained and weak — but I'm learning that is exactly where You want me, so I can fully rely on Your strength and not my own. You don't call me to grit my teeth and bear it. You call me to live by the power of Your Spirit, who empowers me to walk in obedience and humility. Thank You for showing me what great sacrifice looks like. Christ laid down His life for me — may I live to lay down my life for Him by serving others and preferring others above myself. In Jesus' name, Amen. Don't Miss an Episode If today's prayer shifted your perspective from self-reliance to surrender, we'd love to stay connected.
