Buddhist meditation teacher, Anushka Fernandopulle, guides us through a practice of Mudita, or appreciative joy, to help us share in the happiness of others.How To Do This Practice: Get comfortable and ground yourself: Sit comfortably, close your eyes if you'd like, and take a few deep breaths. Relax your body: As you exhale, release tension in your face, jaw, shoulders, and anywhere else you feel it. Think of someone whose happiness is easy to celebrate: Bring to mind a friend, child, pet, or anyone who is experiencing joy. Connect with their happiness: Imagine their joy and allow yourself to feel uplifted by their happiness. Offer them joyful wishes: Silently repeat: “May you always be happy. May your happiness increase. May your happiness continue. I'm happy for your happiness.” Expand your joy outward: Think of a group of people experiencing happiness, and practice sharing in their joy. Carry this mindset with you, noticing others' happiness throughout your day instead of comparing or feeling jealous.

In this episode: Why contrast can show up right after expansion How timing creates resistance around what you want What it means to increase your state of allowing Why your next step may have nothing to do with the goal itself How to stop using your current circumstances as proof that something is or isn't working Expanding Money Live starts next week.

I first offer my respectful obeisances to His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, who said, "So kindly help me," and he readily engaged anyone who came forward with some enthusiasm to help expand the flood of the ocean of love of God—which is flowing all over the world, but it needs to be expanded at this very moment, much wider and broader, to inundate the world. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu appeared over 500 years ago, and as is mentioned in the Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, the members of the Pañca-tattva danced and chanted the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra and enjoyed the fruits of love of God, and then they distributed them to people everywhere without considering who was a fit or unfit candidate. The more that they distributed it, the more the contents increased. This is spiritual mathematics: the way in which, by distributing Kṛṣṇa consciousness to others, it increases in our own hearts. As mentioned by Prabodhānanda Sarasvatī Ṭhākura, the more we dance in ecstasy to the beat of the kīrtana and the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra, the more we go door to door and street to street to offer people an opportunity to come in contact with the Pañca-tattva and also dance in ecstasy, the more the mellows of Vṛndāvana and Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī's mercy flood our hearts. This is our process for coming in contact with Vṛndāvana; otherwise, no one can enter that place.

Do lemon cars have you feeling sour? You're certainly not alone! Utah has a Lemon Law to help with these kinds of cars -- cars that generally have persistent safety, value, or utility issues. The law here only applies to new cars, not used cars. But maybe that could change? Holly and Greg talk about calls from the head of Utah's consumer protection division to expand the Lemon Law to used vehicles.

What if occupational therapy wasn't confined to pullout sessions and IEP goals? Nicole Pfirman, M.Ed., OTR/L, shares how she brought an OT lens to every role—designing multi sensory environments for behavioral regulation, creating prevention and wellness teams that operated outside of special education, and reframing the "mental health crisis" as an intensity crisis that demands systems-level change. You'll learn why sensory regulation and mental health can't be separated, how to advocate for OT involvement at tier one and tier two, and what it takes to shift from waiting for an IEP to meeting student needs proactively. This conversation will challenge you to reclaim participation as the core of your practice and see new pathways for OT leadership in schools.Listen now to learn the following objectives:— Learners will recognize the distinction between a "mental health crisis" and an "intensity crisis," and explain how this reframing reflects the current reality school-based OT practitioners are seeing in students' behavioral presentations.— Learners will identify that sensory system regulation and mental health outcomes are directly connected, and that trauma responses impact the sensory system — meaning trauma-informed care cannot be effectively delivered without also addressing sensory dysregulation.— Learners will identify how OTP's core focus on participation and meaningful occupation applies across all MTSS tiers — from tier one environmental and policy conversations to tier two consultation — not only at the point of IEP eligibility.Click here to register & get the best deal on the 2026 Back to School Conference!  Thanks for tuning in!

Get ready to learn from the best of in this business on today's podcast. So with that introduction, welcome to the show, Eric.Eric 00:00:42  Thank you for having me. I appreciate your time.Josh 00:00:44  Every single listener is going to want to hear, like, what are those growth strategies that you implement? Right? What are those the tactical things that you do that help diversify, provide comfort. But I think it's not even just the aspect of diversification. I think it is building a comprehensive brand that private equity truly would be hungry to acquire, right? Because they don't just see you as a fly by night Amazon seller.Josh 00:01:14  You had success on that, but you can't repeat that success anywhere else. so Eric, let's let's dive into those strategies. Somebody comes to you, you know, how do you work them or how do you start to develop that 6 to 24 month, you know, growth strategy? I guess ramp up for them.Eric 00:01:34  Sounds good. Yeah. So the first off, before we do it, we basically have we want to ask the basic questions and we kind of we normally have a little questionnaire that we have that we'll provide in the show notes. But the big question that you always want to kind of do a kind of little self audit. And we need to be able to understand, you know, who you are, who is the target audience? You know, what specifically is their problem or what are they looking for? Like what's their big, you know, when they're looking for your products? Kind of. What is that? What are we think of that is kind of what's the keywords, what's the what's the the symptom or the problem that they're having.Eric 00:02:05  And then with that, also, when it comes to the types of gifts or ways that this product could be used in, if it were to be a, a type of a gift or a, you know, holiday type thing. We put together all the different audiences and we do what we call the keyword research around that. And that's basically using cool tools like, keyword keg. there's also, SEMrush. There's also Google, Keyword Planner, but these are tools that we put it in there. And that basically tells us over the last 12 months what is the search volume and not just what we think we want to offer, but what are all the other things that we never thought of. And from there, we're then able to kind of have a lay of the land of what's the demand? Then we put together what we call the demand growth strategy, which basically is a how do we build our business around where the opportunity is. We don't want to just go buy a whole bunch of products and hope it works.Eric 00:02:56  We actually have to plan for it. And so the way that we do that is, is we understand what's the demand and what how many people are searching for what. And then and that's not just only at what times of the year as well, because you want to know what our seasonal business is.

What happens when a church leadership team begins to slowly drift? The warning signs may be subtle—but over time, they can damage trust, create division, and undermine the health of the entire church. In this interview, Phil Cooke https://philcooke.com sits down with Chris Sonksen, founding pastor of SouthHills Church and founder of ChurchBOOM, to uncover six subtle behaviors that can tear leadership teams apart—and what senior pastors can do before small issues become major problems. Chris shares practical wisdom on how to recognize leadership drift, including pride in your leadership team, artificial harmony in lieu of true loyalty, the danger signs of isolation, when a critical spirit replaces a constructive one, and the gradual shutdown of a leader on your team. Leaders will gain wisdom in managing tensions while mindfully building towards a healthy church that can thrive.

In this episode of Justice Matters, Glenn dives deep into two critical legal developments involving Donald Trump: the ongoing battle over birthright citizenship and the controversial expansion of executive privilege. Glenn discusses Trump's recent attempts to undermine the 14th Amendment, emphasizing that the Constitution cannot be altered by executive order. He highlights the recent court rulings affirming that anyone born on U.S. soil is a citizen, regardless of their parents' immigration status.Shifting gears, Glenn addresses Trump's efforts to redefine executive privilege, attempting to extend it beyond government officials to include private citizens and foreign actors. He explains the implications of this move and how it seeks to shield Trump from accountability as investigations loom. With a mix of legal insight and pointed commentary, Glenn underscores the importance of defending constitutional rights and the role of nonprofits in fighting for justice.
