In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, Dr. Kathy delves into the impact of smartphone use on children's mental health, particularly those under the age of 13. Citing a significant study published in the Journal for Human Development and Capabilities, she discusses how early smartphone exposure is linked to suicidal thoughts, emotional regulation issues, and lower self-worth, especially in girls. The study, which analyzed data from nearly 2 million individuals across 163 countries, highlights the detrimental effects of social media, sleep disruptions, cyberbullying, and strained family relationships associated with early smartphone use. Dr. Kathy emphasizes the importance of observing children's behaviors and interests to guide their development, advocating for mindful engagement and opportunities for discovery away from screens.

These are all of the many topics that are surfacing to the top right now in all of the mastermind groups that I'm a part of. So if you're listening to this, which of these platforms should you actually be investing the majority of your time into? Which of these platforms actually deserve your attention? In today's episode, I'm going to be sharing my perspective, the platforms that I am actively focused on and why, and what my predictions are for e-commerce over the next decade. Welcome to the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast. I'm Josh Hadley. I've scaled my own ecommerce brand from 0 to 8 figures, and I'm actively building towards nine figures in sales. This podcast is where I document that journey and share the systems, the strategies, and the lessons learned in real time so that you can learn what actually matters and scale your own business. My name is Josh Hadley. First and foremost, I'm a man of faith. I'm a husband to a beautiful wife, and I'm also the father of four children.Josh Hadley 00:00:55  I've been selling in the e-commerce space for over a decade, doing over $20 million annually and doing multi millions in revenue on TikTok. Shop, Shopify and Amazon. And I am also the host of the number one business strategy podcast for ecommerce entrepreneurs, Ecomm Breakthrough. There is so much noise going on right now in the world of e-commerce, and frankly speaking, I feel like it's noisier over the last couple of years than it ever has been in the past. To be honest with you, from about 2015 to maybe about 2023, the only thing you would hear from people is Amazon and Amazon. Amazon. And then we would always wish that Walmart would actually be a serious player in the e-commerce space. But frankly speaking, Walmart never really got their act together. There are some people that are doing well on Walmart. But you know, from my perspective, in any test that we've continued to run, is that like the market just simply is not worth the time investment over there. So with that being said, right now, we are living in just like an extremely noisy period of time for e-commerce.Josh Hadley 00:01:54  And what we heard was many people succeeding on Amazon from about 2015 to about 2023. But then like there has been a massive shift and I believe that it started around the year 2023. This is where the Amazon algorithm really started to break down. For a lot of the brands that were early adopters to Amazon, and it's not that Amazon magically changed their algorithm or things like that, but Amazon has been heavily recruiting overseas sellers ...

Finding and keeping great employees has become one of the biggest challenges facing business owners today. Recruiting is more competitive, turnover is more costly, and leading a multigenerational workforce requires a different approach than it did just a decade ago.

Drawing on more than 25 years of executive Human Resources leadership, Danielle explains why effective people strategies are not simply HR initiatives—they're competitive advantages that strengthen leadership, improve organizational performance, and increase business value. Whether you're struggling to attract younger talent, reduce turnover, or build a leadership team that allows your business to thrive without you, this episode offers practical insights every business owner can apply.Guest: Danielle Verderosa | Founder & President, HR Allies Danielle Verderosa is the Founder and President of HR Allies, where she serves as a trusted Executive HR Advisor to owners of growing privately held businesses across the United States.

Episode Summary:The culture may feel like it's unraveling, but what if God's call isn't to panic, retreat, or attack, but to cultivate? In this thought-provoking conversation, theologian Owen Strachan joins us to discuss his new book, Call to Cultivate, and why Jeremiah 29 provides a compelling biblical blueprint for faithful Christian cultural engagement.Together, we explore how followers of Christ can engage today's culture without giving in to fear, political idolatry, or end-times obsession. Owen challenges believers to plant gardens, build strong families, disciple their communities, and pursue the long-term work of cultivating culture rather than simply reacting to it. Along the way, we also have several honest, iron-sharpening-iron moments of disagreement that push the conversation deeper and challenge us all to think more carefully.If you've felt anxious about the direction of our culture or wondered how Christians should respond to today's challenges, this conversation offers a biblical vision rooted in hope, faithfulness, and the lordship of Christ.If this episode encouraged you, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs hope and a biblical vision for engaging today's world.Who is Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA)? Since 1997, DNA's mission has been to equip followers of Jesus around the globe with a biblical worldview, empowering them to build flourishing families, communities, and nations.

In this episode, I'm talking about something I call the Saturday text. It's never Tuesday at 10 AM when your coffee is warm and you're mentally ready. It's always when you've finally exhaled, and I want to explain why that timing is never an accident.I go deep into the way dysregulation gets used as a delivery mechanism of coercive control, including what the person sending the text is actually getting out of it, which is not just pressure relief but confirmation that they still have access to your nervous system. I also talk about co-regulation, what it's supposed to be, and how it gets weaponized in coercively controlling relationships.I share my own experience with this pattern, including the specific moment when someone I was with sent a breakup ultimatum by text while I was alone in another country, and what that taught me about the intentionality behind timing.If you're in a high-conflict co-parenting situation, still entangled with someone controlling, or just trying to understand why you're always exhausted and can never quite explain it, this episode is for you. I also talk about practical ways to start creating distance between the text arriving and your response, because your nervous system belongs to you, and so does your Saturday.Support the show*Please Note: there is a long intro that explains my services.

Norense just returned from Dallas, where he held a memorial marking one year since his sister passed. This episode is the raw, unfiltered download of what that weekend taught him — about grief, about faith, and about what it actually takes to do the hardest thing you've ever done.He built the memorial video himself. Two hours of sleep. A pounding headache. Weeks of avoiding the footage because every time he opened it, he broke down. But he finished it — and standing on that stage, running on empty, he learned something that changed how he sees his own capacity: when you can engage the hardest thing in your life, you realize you can attack anything.This one moves between grief, Scripture, and real talk on identity, calling, and why so many people dim their own light trying to serve everyone else.In this episode:Why grief changes your entire construct of life — and how faith reframes mourning without erasing the painThe story of Luke 5 and the miraculous catch — and what it teaches about shifting your strategy when you've "toiled all night" with nothing to showWhy engaging hard, emotional things builds a confidence that comfort never canHow caring too much about serving others can cause you to dim your own light and abandon who God made you to beWhy your gift needs monetary value attached to it — and the danger of letting your talents be used without honorThe difference between cultural Christianity and a rooted relationship with Christ — and why only one holds up under real lossWhy every person breathing should create and express — and how your obedience might be the thing that saves someone's lifeKey Truth: "Your feelings matter — but the call of God on your life is more important than how you feel in the moment. Feelings fade. Purpose remains."Key Verse: Luke 5:5 — Master, we have toiled all night and taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.

What are you celebrating today?Is there a story that will help listeners understand why you are doing what you do?Questions/Topics/PromptsMotivation is one of those concepts that is both prevalent and ill-defined. Different disciplines have different definitions and people use the term to mean many different things, so let's begin by defining what we mean when we talk about motivation.One of the reasons I'm excited to have you on is because you pull back the curtain on motivation by citing some of the science behind it. Let's dig into it…Not sure where we will go from here – maybe motivation and students then motivation and teachers?Sponsor Spot 2:I want to thank IXL for sponsoring this podcast…Everyone talks about the power of data-driven instruction.

Wondering how to speak confidently and clearly? You may only be 4 steps away! We're talking about the 4-step roadmap to transform any sentence into speech that is compelling, dynamic, and expressive. This will review the sounds native speakers use when they speak in English (without even realizing so) so you can start sounding like them.Welcome to For Word, the platform dedicated to guiding you towards better spoken performance. We're constantly looking at techniques to add more vocal variety to how we talk by incorporating more softness and firmness to our, furrowing eyebrows, smiling, raising and lowering pitches, adding pauses in order to convey frustration, sadness, joy and nervousness, and considering how to add more breath to everything we say. Let's see how these elements of contrast and body language can lead to richer expression.Get a free podcast/mp3/audio version: https://open.spotify.com/show/7f77KK0bWJ8ohC3QWDDwVYIn this video, we're especially paying attention to our head position to see how the location we look towards immediately changes the quality of the voice we use-and how sometimes looking down might be the best option for what we need to say, and other times looking up could be the perfect fit.#performance #poetry #speaking

What does Blackness look like? In Forms of Blackness: Race and Visibility in the French-Speaking World (Duke University Press, 2026), Cécile Bishop argues that this seemingly simple question has no straightforward answer. Instead of treating race as something immediately visible, she explores how Blackness emerges through the interplay of perception, language, and history. A central theme of the book is that visibility is never neutral. Through examples ranging from photographs of the Liberation of Paris to works of art such as Portrait of a Black Woman, Bishop shows that Blackness cannot be reduced to what is seen. Instead, she introduces the idea of Blackness as form, emphasizing the importance of representation, opacity, and aesthetic experience. Engaging with thinkers such as Édouard Glissant and Frantz Fanon, Bishop invites readers to rethink the assumption that seeing is the same as knowing. Forms of Blackness offers a thoughtful and original account of how race is shaped not simply by appearance, but by the ways we learn to see. Amisah Bakuri (PhD) is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Her work explores the intersections of religion, sexuality, gender, and migration, especially within African diasporic communities in the Netherlands. Learn more about your ad choices.

We are kicking off week two of our summer series, Let's Be Honest, a thoughtful, humble exploration of what it truly means to navigate faith, culture, and big intellectual questions in today's world. Host Matt Summers sits down with Menlo Church Lead Pastor Phil EuBank to take an honest, respectful look at Islam. Together, they discuss the critical importance of engaging with other worldviews on their own terms—seeking to understand the strongest, most intelligent form of what another faith actually teaches rather than knocking down weak, uncharitable caricatures. Phil pulls back the curtain on his own inbox to share the raw, tension-filled feedback he receives from both sides of the conversation, using it to highlight how difficult yet vital it is to thread the needle of truth and love in our local communities. The conversation dives deep into the heart of the weekend message, contrasting two fundamentally different documents: the "report card" of performance versus the "birth certificate" of identity. While the five pillars of Islam demand an admirable, rigorous level of human effort, discipline, and devotion, they ultimately leave even their greatest prophets facing a ledger of profound spiritual uncertainty. Matt and Phil explore how the radical promise of Jesus completely upends the scales of behavior modification. Instead of offering a manual or an oppressive checklist to measure up, the Gospel offers an invitation to abide daily in a living relationship with a Savior who already overcame the grave to secure who we are.

In this captivating episode of the Transform Your Mind podcast, host Myrna Young is joined by the extraordinary Sarah Marks, who shares her harrowing journey from childhood trauma to spiritual and personal awakening. The conversation delves deep into Sarah's experiences with childhood abuse, human trafficking, and her struggle with PTSD, which eventually led her to profound insights into human consciousness and the power of DNA as a biological internet. This episode explores the intersection of science and spirituality and encourages listeners to connect with their higher selves to foster healing and transformation.The discussion highlights how Sarah's near-death experience and tumultuous life events catalyzed a unique spiritual awakening, prompting her to explore holistic healing practices such as somatic therapy and kinesiology. With Myrna's guidance, the episode investigates how individuals can begin to trust their intuition again after trauma by gently working through somatic practices and reconnecting with their bodies. By drawing connections between spirituality, science, and personal development, this episode offers listeners transformative insights and practical steps towards healing.Key Takeaways:Harnessing DNA's Healing Power: Sarah posits that DNA operates like a biological internet, responding to positive intentions and frequencies, facilitating healing.Existing Beyond Trauma: Trauma does not define us; by reconnecting with our innate intuition and higher selves, profound healing can occur.Engaging with Somatic Practices: Somatic work is key to healing trauma. It involves gently reengaging the nervous system to process blocked experiences safely and effectively.Trusting Intuition Post-Trauma: Differentiating between fear originating from trauma and reality is critical to regaining self-trust and intuitive clarity.The Journey to Awakening: Sarah's own near-death experience served as a catalyst for her spiritual awakening, demonstrating the power of critical life moments in personal transformation.Notable Quotes:"DNA responds to intention. The intent of love can lead DNA to actually start healing itself." – Sarah Marks"Trust the basic gut instincts; trauma distorts reality, but the intuition remains intact beneath." – Sarah Marks"Trauma may distort your perception of reality, making it look like a cracked mirror of fragmented pieces." – Sarah Marks"The sharpness of presence is needed to reach God and become aware of our full spectrum of abilities." – Sarah Marks"You're carrying so much that's not yours, but coming back home to yourself is to reweave that brokenness into oneness." – Sarah MarksSee Transcript of the episode https://www.buzzsprout.com/1761155/19430588-beyond-survival-reclaiming-your-life-after-childhood-trauma/transcriptSee this video on The Transform Your Mind YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@MyhelpsUs/videosTo see a transcripts of this audio as well as links to all the advertisers on the show page https://myhelps.us/Follow Transform Your Mind on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/myrnamyoung/Follow Transform Your mind on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063738390977Please leave a rating and review on iTunes https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/transform-your-mind/id1144973094Feedspot Top 100 Mental Health Podcast For sponsored Brand interviews and sponsorship inquires please visit Partner With The Transform Your Mind Podcast | Myrna Young Life Coach

It was originally published on Dharmaseed and recorded at the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies, a non-profit organization founded by renowned meditation teachers Joseph Goldstein and Sharon Salzberg to integrate Buddhist study and practice. To start at the beginning, check out Ep. 261 – Gradual Cultivation in Buddhist Practice. “If you put your hand in fire, do you know that it burns? Do you have any doubt about it? In the genuine experience of things being uprooted, there is that quality of certainty. It is very different than what you were saying about ‘Yeah, it looks to me that the defilements are uprooted.' The experience that results in the uprooting, which is the experience of the unborn. It has that same immediacy and certainty as putting your hand in fire and knowing it burns.” –Joseph Goldstein See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Can Christians watch horror movies? Is horror merely entertainment, or can it reveal profound theological truths? In this episode of The Biblical Mind Podcast, Dru Johnson sits down with theologian and film scholar Dr. Kutter Callaway to explore why horror has become one of today's most influential storytelling genres—and why Christians should take it seriously.Drawing from his new book, Be Afraid: What Horror Reveals About Facing the Darkness, Callaway argues that great horror doesn't simply frighten audiences; it exposes deep truths about evil, suffering, trauma, sin, and the human condition. Together, Dru and Kutter examine the horrifying stories already found in Scripture—from the Levite's concubine in Judges to the crucifixion—and ask what these passages have in common with modern horror films.The conversation also explores why supernatural horror resonates with younger generations, how films like Get Out, The Babadook, Hereditary, and Midsommar wrestle with inherited trauma and cultural fears, and why interpreting films in community resembles reading the Bible in community. Whether you're skeptical of horror or an avid fan, this episode offers a thoughtful biblical framework for understanding fear, art, and the stories that shape our imaginations.Learn more about Kutter Callaway at his website!

Episode Summary Business changes fast and people change slow. That gap, Steve Reiner argues, is where most change efforts quietly fail, and closing it is one of the few real competitive advantages a company has left. In this episode, host Justin Lake sits down with Steve, VP of Sales at Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits and author of Leaders Created and Business Changes Fast, People Change Slow, to unpack why adoption stalls on the frontline and what leaders can actually do about it. Steve walks through his Change Stamina Framework, a four-step approach that puts the work back on leaders rather than the frontline. Leaders learn the change first, well before launch. They bring in managers, then frontline champions, staying in the room the entire time. They host the training themselves instead of kicking off a meeting and slipping out the back. And they reinforce the change for far longer than anyone expects, because sustainment, not go-live, is where adoption is won or lost. Along the way, Steve explains why the small daily changes sting frontline teams more than the big platform launches, why people resist change for reasons rooted in how our brains conserve energy, and why nine and a half times out of ten people do not need pressure, they need more time and attention. He also ties it all back to the P&L: if a change is worth making, it is worth supporting all the way through, because every day a team spends stuck in the change curve is a day the business pays for it.

In this episode, the conversation focused on the intersection of data intelligence, artificial intelligence, and philanthropy. A key theme that emerged was the growing importance of data-driven decision making in the nonprofit sector, which, despite representing 5% of the GDP and employing 10% of the American workforce, has lagged behind other industries in the adoption of technology and data practices.The discussion explored how organizations like Impala are aiming to transform the philanthropic landscape by providing robust data platforms and AI-driven tools to empower both large foundations and small nonprofits. Several points were raised, including the unique challenges philanthropy faces in measuring impact versus the traditional business focus on ROI, the rise of a new generation of data-savvy philanthropists, and how collaborative giving and customized data solutions are shaping a more transparent, effective, and innovative sector.Tune in as we examine how technology is not just changing the way give, but also who gives, why, and with what outcome—pushing philanthropy into a new age powered by actionable insights and human connection.LinksImpala -https://impala.digital/Time Stamps00:00 Importance of Data and Relationships03:59 Joining Impala through philanthropy09:00 Measuring organizational impact12:15 Engaging younger donors with data14:38 Impala's role in education analysis20:24 Empowering small nonprofits with AI22:50 Impala's AI platform strategy25:07 Improving investment decisions with AI28:25 Integrating AI with Data Platforms32:01 Using AI in philanthropic decisions34:58 Discussing collaborative giving trends39:28 Supporting small businesses with tech42:35 Appreciation and social impact goals

When Cody Cook-Parrott showed up for this conversation, I assumed they were about to talk about leaving social media. I had just finished their book The Practice Of Attention, Cultivating Presence In A Distracted World. I had been through my own leaving social media journey, and found their voice around this supportive and affirming. But I'm always open to what area of healing my guest is wanting to talk about, and Cody showed up ready to talk vulnerably about what is up for them right now: money. You're going to hear a lot of wisdom around money healing, because Cody's been working in depth around money for a long time, and you're also going to hear their vulnerability and struggle, because as of the recording, according to their own definitions, they were 2 days solvent after financial relapse. Cody Cook-Parrott is a writer, artist, and movement practitioner who builds simple structures that help artists make work. Their focus is attention, creative ecosystems, and research—so your practice becomes a scaffolding to grow steadily—online and off. Shout out to my good friend Podge Thomas (https://www.podgethomas.com/) for introducing me to Cody's work. Here's some of what we talked about: After being in and out of financial solvency, Cody is 2 days solvent today as of the recording Engaging in a 12-steps program around finances The difference between solvency and being debt free Finding their "enough number" Guardrails and money healing Spiritual solutions to money Show notes at https://anniezam.com/podcast/260  

A gorgeous barred owl perched on a tree branch at the end of her driveway — camera in hand, several stunning shots captured. And then, an hour later, sitting with a friend in the depths of a broken relationship. Two encounters, stark in their contrast, and yet Tammy Darling found herself recognizing something profound in the space between them: beauty and pain do not cancel each other out. They coexist. And it takes love — the particular, Christ-shaped kind of love — to see the beauty that lives inside pain and call it out. In this searching and compassionate episode, Tammy refuses to look away. From the homeless man on the park bench to the woman in the grocery store line carrying fear about her future, she asks the question most of us quietly avoid: how can we stand in awe of the natural beauty of this world and not simultaneously seek out the hidden beauty in the people around us who are suffering? Romans 8:18 reminds us that present sufferings are not worth comparing to the glory that is coming — but Tammy takes it further, arguing that even now, in the midst of pain, beauty can be found and spoken over those who cannot yet see it in themselves. When love comes alongside pain, beauty is born. And entering someone else's pain is not a burden — it is a privilege. Today's Bible Verse "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us."— Romans 8:18, NIV Ponder Today Beauty and pain can coexist — even in the same moment. We don't have to choose between marveling at the world's beauty and grieving its brokenness. Holding both at once is a mark of a heart shaped by Christ's compassion. In the eyes of the hurting, there are pools of beauty waiting to be discovered. The pain may go deep, but the beauty goes deeper. Choosing to look — truly look — at people in pain is where that beauty begins to be revealed. Sight brings responsibility. What is seen cannot be unseen. When we recognize the pain and hidden beauty in another person, we are called to speak it, to act on it, and to enter it. Seeing and doing nothing is its own kind of turning away. Love coming alongside pain is how beauty is born. Compassion, empathy, grace, and mercy are not just kind responses to suffering — they are facets of the love that Christ Himself is, and they transform pain into something redemptive. We were commanded, not suggested, to love one another as Christ loved us. John 13:34 uses the word must. We cannot pass by the wounded stranger on the road. Engaging with the pain of others is not optional for those who follow Jesus. A Prayer for You Today Dearest Jesus, though we live in a broken and fallen world, there is much beauty to behold. We thank You for the privilege of entering into the pain of others so that Your beauty may shine through, even in the darkest of places. May our days be full of compassion and love for one another. When we are hurt, may we forgive. When we are rejected, may we remember that You were too. When we see the hurting around us, may we choose to engage and ease their pain. May beauty in pain be revealed in all we do and say. In Your precious name, Amen.
