Women don't eat poorly because they lack discipline. They eat poorly because they're exhausted, overwhelmed, hormonally ambushed, and carrying everyone else's load. When you're wired and tired, hitting the 3pm crash, or fried at the end of the day, biology takes over, not willpower.This episode is your no-BS map to those vulnerability windows and how to stop getting hijacked by cravings, stress, and decision fatigue. If you're done feeling like food is running the show, this is your wake-up call.Reasons Why Women Eat Poorly @ 0:01Women often eat poorly not due to lack of discipline, but because they are tired, overwhelmed, hormonally imbalanced, and prioritising the needs of others over their own. These biological and emotional vulnerabilities lead to cravings for quick, unhealthy foods that provide a temporary sense of relief.Key Vulnerability Windows @ 2:27The main times when women are most vulnerable to making poor food choices are:When they are wired and tired, with amplified cravings and disrupted hunger hormones.The 3pm crash, when cortisol dips and the body craves sugary or carb-heavy foods.End-of-day decision fatigue, when the brain is fatigued and defaults to the easiest, often unhealthy, options.Strategies for Prevention @ 4:37To proactively address these vulnerability windows, Jennifer recommends:Establishing a consistent bedtime routine.Eating protein-rich meals and snacks to stabilise blood sugar.Planning ahead and having healthy options readily available.Developing non-food coping mechanisms for emotional triggers like stress and boredom.Hormonal Impacts @ 8:30Hormonal changes during perimenopause, menopause, and beyond can significantly impact appetite, cravings, and the body's ability to regulate blood sugar. Consistent protein intake, adaptogen herbs, and honouring one's hormonal cycle are key to navigating these shifts.Recap and Key Takeaways @ 11:56In summary, poor eating habits often stem from biological and emotional vulnerabilities, not lack of discipline. By understanding these windows of vulnerability and proactively addressing them through prevention strategies, women can make sustainable improvements to their nutrition and overall wellbeing.LINKS: Feel like crap lately?

Thomas Collins explains house hacking, multifamily investing, and how to make your assets pay for your lifestyle—starting with your first property.Full DescriptionIn this episode of RealDealChat, Jack Hoss sits down with Thomas Collins, founder of Shift Rich Academy, to break down one of the most powerful entry points into real estate investing: house hacking.Thomas shares how a single conversation at his day job sparked a mindset shift that led him from renting at $1,400/month to owning a duplex where his tenants paid nearly the entire mortgage. He explains why multifamily properties (especially duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes) are the smartest first move for new investors—and how FHA loans make it possible with just 3.5% down.The conversation goes deep into:House hacking vs flips (and why HGTV gets it wrong)Establishing your buy box when you plan to live in the propertyUsing short-term rentals to dramatically increase cash flowCostly mistakes with tenants, licenses, and partnershipsWhy systems, virtual assistants, and AI prevent real estate from becoming another jobHow confidence explodes after the first dealWhy waiting for “perfect” kills momentumThis episode is packed with real-world lessons, beginner clarity, and systems thinking for anyone sitting on the sidelines.

We're joined by Jamaal Ghauri, a trader and fund manager who began his journey unusually early — first exposed to crypto markets as a teenager during Bitcoin's early adoption phase, before moving into stocks and eventually options. Jamal walks through the full arc of his development as a trader: early overconfidence, aggressive options bets, a rapid run-up followed by a major drawdown, and the hard lessons that ultimately forced him to rethink risk, position sizing, and process. From there, he explains how he rebuilt by focusing on more structured setups, volatility awareness, and consistency over time. We discuss the evolution of his core strategies — including swing trades, breakout-style setups, and short-term options structures — and how those approaches are now applied within a multi-strategy fund he launched in 2025. Jamal also shares how he thinks about trade distribution, win rates versus loss severity, and why discipline and risk management ultimately mattered more than finding the “perfect” setup. As always, this conversation is about understanding how a trader thinks, how strategies evolve over time, and how real-world risk shows up differently than it does on paper.

HOW TO PREPARE FINANCIALLY FOR THE UNEXPECTED (WITHOUT OBSESSING) FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS Lawrence M. Post | CPA, MST, CFP®, CIMA® Senior Tax & Planning Advisor, BWFA and Tyler Kluge | CFP®, ChFEB℠, CPWA®, CDFA®, CEPS,  Financial Planner, BWFA About This Episode Life is unpredictable, but financial planning does not have to be stressful. Learn how to prepare for the unexpected without constant worry. Full Description Unexpected events are a part of life. Job changes, health issues, family needs, and economic shifts can all impact financial stability. While it is impossible to plan for every outcome, being financially prepared can help reduce stress and improve confidence when challenges arise. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, the discussion focuses on how to prepare financially for the unexpected without becoming overwhelmed or overly cautious. The conversation emphasizes balance, showing how thoughtful planning can create flexibility without requiring constant monitoring or fear-driven decisions. Listeners will learn why preparation is about structure rather than prediction. Establishing emergency savings, maintaining appropriate insurance coverage, and understanding cash flow are foundational steps that help absorb life's surprises. This episode also explores how over-preparing can be just as harmful as under-preparing, particularly when excessive conservatism limits long-term growth or opportunity. The discussion highlights the importance of clarity. Knowing what resources are available and how they fit into an overall financial plan allows individuals to respond thoughtfully rather than react emotionally. Preparation does not mean obsessing over worst-case scenarios. It means building a plan that can adapt as circumstances change. Rather than offering quick fixes or rigid rules, this episode encourages a calm, intentional approach to financial readiness. When preparation is aligned with goals and values, it becomes a source of confidence rather than anxiety. At BWFA, we help clients design financial plans that are resilient, flexible, and realistic. Preparing for the unexpected is not about fear. It is about creating a plan that supports you through whatever life brings.

THE BENEFITS OF STARTING FINANCIAL PLANNING EARLY FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS Lawrence M. Post | CPA, MST, CFP®, CIMA® Senior Tax & Planning Advisor, BWFA and Tyler Kluge | CFP®, ChFEB℠, CPWA®, CDFA®, CEPS,  Senior Financial Planner, BWFA About This Episode Starting financial planning early can make a meaningful difference over time. Learn why early action creates flexibility, confidence, and long-term opportunity. Full Description Financial planning is often viewed as something to address later in life, once income increases or major milestones approach. In reality, starting early can provide significant advantages that compound over time. The earlier planning begins, the more flexibility individuals have to adapt, adjust, and stay aligned with their goals. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, Larry and Tyler discuss why early financial planning lays a strong foundation for long-term success. They explain how starting early allows individuals to take advantage of compounding, build healthy financial habits, and make thoughtful decisions without unnecessary pressure. The conversation highlights how early planning is not about perfection, but direction. Establishing clear priorities, understanding cash flow, and setting realistic goals can help individuals navigate life changes with greater confidence. Early planning also creates room to course-correct as circumstances evolve, rather than reacting under time constraints later on. Larry and Tyler also emphasize the value of education and consistency. Small steps taken early can have an outsized impact over time. Whether planning for retirement, managing debt, or preparing for future expenses, starting early allows planning decisions to work together more effectively. Rather than waiting for a “right time,” this episode encourages listeners to view financial planning as an ongoing process that grows alongside them. Early planning supports better decision-making and helps reduce stress as goals become more defined. At BWFA, we help individuals and families build financial plans that evolve with each stage of life. This episode reinforces the importance of starting early and staying engaged over time.

On this episode we explore the themes of work and rest, addressing the contemporary challenges faced by leaders in maintaining a balance between their professional obligations and personal rejuvenation. Join us as we engage in a thoughtful dialogue with Nathan LaGrange, illuminating the significance of intentional rest and the transformative power it holds for leaders in their demanding roles.Back Channel with Foth explores the intricate dynamics between leadership and followership, particularly emphasizing the critical role followers play in supporting and caring for their leaders. Our esteemed guest, Dick Foth, offers profound insights into the necessity of establishing meaningful connections, underscoring that effective leading and following hinge upon active listening and genuine concern for one another's well-being. He articulates that the essence of following lies in understanding what truly matters to leaders, thereby fostering an environment of mutual respect and support.Takeaways: The role of followers in supporting leaders encompasses understanding their concerns and priorities. Effective leadership requires good listening skills, both from leaders and their followers alike. Caring for leaders involves creating a space for open communication and emotional support. The distinction between vacation and rest highlights the importance of intentional downtime to recharge. Generational differences in work and rest reflect unique motivations and cultural influences shaping attitudes. Establishing a regular rhythm of rest and self-care is crucial for sustaining long-term productivity.

God's presence can feel complicated — sometimes clear, sometimes distant. In this episode, we reflect on 1 Kings 6–9 and John 2 to see how God's presence was never meant to be tied to a building, but ultimately revealed in Jesus. He is the true temple, the better sacrifice, and the rightful King. Even when we don't feel Him, God's presence is established, personal, and here with us.

Pastor Brian Wilmarth shares how God's true established, kingly presence comes in Jesus.

"You're constantly asking lean, open, neutral questions that start broad and then narrow, and you're asking more lean, open, neutral questions based on their answers. When you do that, it tells the subjects that you're actually listening to them very intensely, and you're asking questions based on the things that they say.

It was 30 minutes and after the edit it was closer to 25. He was gassed. I think he did this as a favor since I'd been on his ass since July about this book.

Why is maintaining law firm culture important during growth? Preserving the culture of a law firm during growth is crucial to retaining key employees and maintaining the firm’s unique identity. As a law firm expands, the risk of losing valued team members increases if the culture shifts away from its original values. Ensuring that the culture remains intact helps foster loyalty and happiness among employees, creating a cohesive and supportive work environment. What strategies can law firm owners use to maintain their firm’s culture as it grows? Law firm owners can employ various strategies to uphold their firm’s culture during growth. By prioritizing authenticity and intentionality, owners can ensure that the core values and identity of the firm remain consistent. Establishing clear communication channels, fostering collaboration, and recognizing individual contributions are key ways to sustain the culture through periods of expansion. How can intentional culture-building differ from accidental culture evolution in a law firm setting? Intentional culture-building involves deliberately setting and upholding a specific culture that aligns with the firm’s values and goals. On the other hand, accidental culture evolution occurs when the firm’s culture develops organically without intentional guidance. Recognizing the difference between the two approaches allows law firm owners to proactively shape their culture and maintain its authenticity as the firm grows. How can law firm culture impact client relationships and employee retention? A strong law firm culture can positively impact client relationships and employee retention by creating a cohesive and supportive work environment. Clients are attracted to firms with a distinct culture that reflects the firm’s values and commitment to excellence. Similarly, employees are more likely to stay with a firm that prioritizes their well-being and fosters a sense of belonging through a positive and inclusive culture. What challenges do law firm owners face in preserving culture during periods of growth? Law firm owners encounter challenges such as time constraints and financial pressures when trying to preserve their firm’s culture during growth. The demands of managing a larger team and navigating increased financial responsibilities can strain the firm’s culture if not addressed proactively. Balancing these challenges requires strategic planning, open communication, and a commitment to upholding the core values that define the firm’s culture. How can law firm owners safeguard their firm’s culture as it expands? To safeguard their firm’s culture during expansion, law firm owners should prioritize authenticity, communication, and employee well-being. By clearly defining and consistently reinforcing the firm’s values, owners can guide the growth process in a way that preserves the unique culture and identity of the firm. Encouraging transparency, fostering a sense of community, and adapting policies to support a positive work environment are essential steps in safeguarding the firm’s culture. What steps can law firm owners take to maintain a client-focused and team-oriented culture as the firm grows? Maintaining a client-focused and team-oriented culture requires law firm owners to prioritize collaboration, client satisfaction, and employee well-being. By emphasizing teamwork, supporting professional development, and celebrating client successes, owners can reinforce the values that define the firm’s culture. Implementing regular feedback mechanisms, recognizing individual contributions, and fostering a supportive work environment are key steps in sustaining a client-centered and cohesive culture throughout the firm’s growth.

Health anxiety, often referred to as hypochondria, involves an excessive preoccupation with one's health and medical conditions, which can severely disrupt daily life. I explore the nature of this anxiety, focusing on how mistaken beliefs about our physical symptoms can spiral into panic and overwhelm. The fear that something is seriously wrong often leads to a vicious cycle of worry and avoidance, distracting us from enjoying our lives.We discuss the crucial role that information plays in health anxiety. With the internet at our fingertips, many individuals fall into the trap of Googling symptoms, which can exacerbate feelings of fear and uncertainty. The availability of vast amounts of information can trigger mistaken beliefs, making us more susceptible to anxiety. As I recommend, taking a break from online research can be a beneficial step toward fostering peace of mind. Establishing boundaries around information consumption is key to reducing anxiety levels.I emphasize the importance of awareness when it comes to managing health anxiety. Recognizing that the thoughts we experience are merely thoughts—not reality—is the first step in finding peace. By acknowledging these runaway thoughts without judgment, we can begin to set them aside and cultivate a clearer perspective. Techniques to ground oneself and access a more logical, wise mindset can ultimately help in containing anxious thoughts and reducing their impact.#anxietyrelief#anxietyhelp#mentalhealthmatters#selfcare#mindfulness#stressrelief#nervoussystemregulation#panicattackhelp#innerpeace#calm#healthanxiety#calminghealthanxiety#hypochondria#medicalanxiety#stopgoogling#anxietycoach#healthscare#worrywart#physicalanxiety#wisemind#thoughtawareness#anxietytools#overcomeanxiety#healingjourney#anxietyrecovery#mindovermatter#anxietycoachespodcast#podcastlife#ginaryan#ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Establishing the Capital and the Rise of Political Division — Nathaniel Philbrick — Washington selected the Potomac River as the location for the new national capital, believing it would economically connect Western and Eastern commercial interests, despite claims of obvious self-interest regarding Mount Vernon's proximity. As Washington worked deliberately to unite the fractured nation through personal tours and diplomatic engagement, political divisions paradoxically hardened and crystallized; Thomas Jefferson and James Madison organized systematic opposition during a "northern tour," strategically recruiting Philip Freneau to attack the Washingtonadministration. Philbrick notes the historical irony that James Monroe, formerly a critic of Washington, later adopted Washington's touring methodology to heal national divisions during his own presidency. Philbrickconcludes that despite Washington's profound contradictions as a slaveholder and politician, his aspirational effort to create a functioning American Union remains his enduring historical legacy. 1700

BONUS: Impact Engineering—Finding Agile's Lost North Star With Tom Gilb and Simon Holzapfel The Clarity Problem: Why Organizations Start with "Fuzzy B*S*!" "Everybody seems to start from a position of fuzzy b*s*. Nice-sounding words. Management does it, professors do it, politicians do it. And they don't even feel very guilty about it."   Tom Gilb doesn't mince words when describing how most organizations define their objectives. The fundamental problem isn't a lack of ambition—it's a lack of clarity. When leaders are asked about their critical values like "extremely high security" or "employee happiness," they typically respond with circular definitions that provide no actionable direction. Tom's approach starts by exposing this gap and then demonstrating that any value—no matter how "soft" or intangible it seems—can be quantified. Using AI tools, he's shown clients over 1,400 different ways to measure human happiness alone. Why Agile Lost Its North Star "Agile's lost its North Star because the economic problems it was trying to solve within the organization are now mismatched with the digital world."   Simon Holzapfel offers a structural analysis: Agile developed primarily to allay the concerns of pre-digital capital—investors who needed reassurance that their money wouldn't disappear into failed projects. But today's digital economy operates differently. Capital now moves like a service (SaaS model), and innovation is fundamentally stochastic—you can't predict when breakthroughs will happen. Organizations using flow-focused tools when the real problem is value creation are applying yesterday's solutions to today's challenges. The First Step: Quantify Your Critical Values "If you ask AI to quantify employee happiness a hundred different ways, it will do it in one minute for free. So you can no longer be in denial."   The path forward starts with brutal honesty about what your organization actually cares about. Tom's approach involves:   Identifying the top 10 critical stakeholder values Defining clear scales of measure for each Establishing where you are now (status) Setting where you need to be to survive (tolerable level) Defining what success looks like (target/goal level)   This isn't about adding bureaucracy—it's about creating shared clarity that enables everyone to row in the same direction.   About Tom Gilb and Simon Holzapfel   Tom Gilb, born in the US, lived in London, and then moved to Norway in 1958. An independent teacher, consultant, and writer, he has worked in software engineering, corporate top management, and large-scale systems engineering. As the saying goes, Tom was writing about Agile before Agile was named. In 1976, Tom introduced the term "evolutionary" in his book Software Metrics, advocating for development in small, measurable steps.
