Timmerie shares a powerful story about traveling with her newborn son and being asked a surprising question: “Miss, is he expensive?” That moment opened the door to a bigger reflection – what does it really cost to raise children, and what actually matters most in parenting? Cultural headlines claim it takes nearly $29,000 a year to raise a young child, but Timmerie challenges that myth. She explains that raising kids doesn’t require luxury strollers, designer nurseries, or endless activities. Instead, the true “cost” of children is not money – it’s the gift of time, presence, and love. Parenthood is about embracing the sacrifice and joy of raising children with faith, generosity, and simplicity. She also brings up how raising kids is a visible witness to others. Whether your children are peacefully sleeping in a carrier or throwing a tantrum in the grocery store, the way we live parenthood can make it look approachable – or impossible – to a world that is increasingly unfamiliar with family life. For Catholics, this is also a chance for quiet evangelization, showing that family life is not only doable but beautiful, even in its hardest moments. Timmerie reminds you that what really matters in raising children is not the dollars in the bank but the quality of our presence, the discipline we lovingly provide, and the sacramental life we share with them. Marriage and parenthood, she says, is the boldest risk of our age – and the most rewarding.

We're back, and today we're diving into a subject that sits at the core of Grit Meets Growth—comfort. It's been nearly a year since we dedicated an entire conversation to it, but if you've listened for a while, you know this theme surfaces often. We believe growth begins at the edge of your comfort zone, and while the world tells us to chase comfort, the truth is it comes with a hidden cost. Comfort feels safe, but it can quietly rob us of progress, purpose, and fulfillment. In this episode, we're unpacking what comfort really means, why it's so sneaky, and how stepping into discomfort—with discipline—opens the door to becoming who you're built to be. Here are 5 key insights pulled from this episode on comfort and discipline:Comfort Comes with a Hidden Cost While the world sells us on the idea that comfort equals happiness, it often robs us of purpose, fulfillment, and growth. Staying “comfortable” in a job, relationship, or routine might feel safe, but it quietly drains time, energy, and potential.Discipline Beats Motivation Motivation comes and goes, but discipline is what drives progress. True discipline is doing what you said you would do, even when you don't feel like it. It's showing up consistently, leaning into structure, and replacing excuses with action.Growth Requires Discomfort Growth happens on the edge of your comfort zone. Whether it's in your career, marriage, parenting, or personal habits, stepping into the uncomfortable is the catalyst for becoming your best self. Avoiding discomfort keeps you stuck in “good enough."Simplification Fuels Momentum Life doesn't always require more—it often requires less. Stripping away excess, simplifying your routines, and focusing on the basics (like a morning workout, a hard conversation, or cooking your own meal) builds grit and momentum for long-term growth.Community Creates Accountability Breaking out of comfort is easier when you're surrounded by people pursuing the same thing. Being in community with others who are willing to get uncomfortable, hold you accountable, and push alongside you makes growth sustainable and powerful.One Truth:Comfort feels safe, but it's actually stealing your potential—real growth only happens when you choose discomfort and discipline.

Send us a textEver wonder if you're overpaying for sparkling wine? That's exactly what crossed my mind while sipping the surprisingly sophisticated Peaks and Tides Sonoma Brut from Aldi. At just $13.99, this California sparkler challenges everything you think you know about budget bubbles.I stumbled upon this gem during a routine Aldi visit, excited to discover several new wines after months of unchanged inventory. Made by Rack and Riddle—the custom sparkling specialists behind many premium California bubblies—this Sonoma Brut immediately stands out with its pedigree. While Aldi's Peaks and Tides label has offered Chardonnay and Pinot Noir before, this sparkling version raises the bar significantly.From the first sip, I was struck by its balanced character: subtle fruit flavors that don't overwhelm, refreshing acidity that invites another taste, and enough complexity to actually contemplate what's in your glass. That's rare in a sparkling wine at this price point. It maintains the proper dry character expected in a brut, without any cloying sweetness. As I continued tasting, one thought kept surfacing: "Why would anyone pay three times more for Champagne when this delivers such satisfaction?" Modern winemaking has become the great equalizer, allowing for exceptional quality at accessible prices.With the holiday season eventually approaching, consider grabbing a few bottles now while supplies last. Unless you're a dedicated Champagne aficionado, this $13.99 Sonoma sparkler will likely provide equal enjoyment while stretching your celebration budget significantly further.

Many Americans struggle with the rising cost of healthcare. Analysts Terence Flynn and Erin Wright explain how AI might bend the cost curve, from Morgan Stanley's 23rd annual Global Healthcare Conference in New York.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Terence Flynn: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Terence Flynn, Morgan Stanley's U.S. Biopharma Analyst.Erin Wright: And I'm Erin Wright, U.S. Healthcare Services Analyst.Terence Flynn: Thanks for joining us. We're actually in the midst of the second day of Morgan Stanley's annual Global Healthcare Conference, where we hosted over 400 companies. And there are a number of important themes that we discussed, including healthcare policy and capital allocation.Now, today on the show, we're going to discuss one of these themes, healthcare spending, which is one of the most pressing challenges facing the U.S. economy today.It is Tuesday, September 9th at 8am in New York.Imagine getting a bill for a routine doctor's visit and seeing a number that makes you do a double take. Maybe it's $300 for a quick checkup or thousands of dollars for a simple procedure.For many Americans, those moments of sticker shock aren't rare. They are the reality.Now with healthcare costs in the U.S. higher than many other peer countries on a percentage of GDP basis, it's no wonder that everyone – not just investors – is asking; not just, ‘Why is this happening?' But ‘How can we fix it?' And that's why we're talking about AI today. Could it be the breakthrough needed to help rein in those costs and reshape how care is delivered?Now I'm going to go over to you, Erin. Why is U.S. healthcare spending growing so rapidly compared to peer countries?Erin Wright: Clearly, the aging population in the U.S. and rising chronic disease burden here are clearly driving up demand for healthcare. We're seeing escalating demand across the senior population, for instance. It's coinciding with greater utilization of more sophisticated therapeutics and services. Overall, it's straining the healthcare system.We are seeing burnout in labor constraints at hospitals and broader health systems overall. Net-net, the U.S. spent 18 percent of GDP on healthcare in 2023, and that's compared to only 11 percent for peer countries. And it's projected to reach 25 to 30 percent of GDP by 2050. So, the costs are clearly escalating here.Terence Flynn: Thanks, Erin. That's a great way to frame the problem. Now, as we think about AI, where does that come in to help potentially bend the cost curve?Erin Wright: We think AI can drive meaningful efficiencies across healthcare delivery, with estimated savings of about [$]300 to [$]900 billion by 2050.So, the focus areas include here: staffing, supply chain, scheduling, adherence. These are where AI tools can really address some of these inefficiencies in care and ultimately drive health outcomes. There are implementation costs and risks for hospitals, but we do think the savings here can be substantial.Terence Flynn: Great. Well, let's unpack that a little bit more now. So, if you think about the biggest cost buckets in hospitals, where can AI help out?Erin Wright: The biggest cost bucket for a hospital today clearly is labor. It represents about half of spend for a hospital. AI can optimize staffing, reduce burnout with a new scribe and some of these scribe technologies that are out there, and more efficient healthcare record keeping. I mean, this can really help to drive meaningful cost savings.Just to add another discouraging data point for you, there's estimated to be a shortage of about 10,000 critical healthcare workers in 2028. So, AI can help to address that. AI tools can be used across administrative functions as well. That accounts for about 15 to 20 percent of spend for a hospital. So, we see substantial savings as well across drugs, supplies, lab testing, where AI can reduce waste and improve adherence overall.Terence Flynn: Great. Maybe we'll pivot over to the managed care and value-based care side now. How is AI being used in these verticals, Erin?Erin Wright: For a healthcare insurer – and they're facing many challenges right now as well – AI can help personalize care plans. And they can support better predictive analytics and ultimately help to optimize utilization trends. And it can also help to facilitate value-based care arrangements, which can ultimately drive better health outcomes and bend the cost curve. And ultimately that's the key theme that we're trying to focus on here.So, I'll turn it over to you, Terence, now. While hospitals and payers could see notable benefits from AI, the biopharma side of the equation is just as critical here. Especially when it comes to long-term cost containment. You've been closely tracking how AI is transforming drug development. What exactly are you seeing?Terence Flynn: Yeah, a number of key constituents are leaning in here on AI in a number of different ways. I'd say the most meaningful way that could help bend the cost curve is on R&D productivity. As many people probably know, it can take a very long time for a drug to reach the market anywhere from eight to 10 years. And if AI can be used to improve that cycle time or boost the probability of success, the probability of a drug reaching the market – that could have a meaningful benefit on costs. And so, we think AI has the potential to increase drug approvals by 10 to 40 percent. And if that happens, you can ultimately drive cost savings of anywhere from [$]100 billion to [$]600 billion by 2050.Erin Wright: Yeah, that sounds meaningful. How do you think additional drug approvals lead to meaningful cost savings in the healthcare system?Terence Flynn: Look, I mean, high level medicines at their best cure disease or prevent people from being admitted to a hospital or seeking care to doctor's office. Equally important medicines can get people out of the hospital quicker and back to contributing or participating in society. And there's data out there in the literature showing that new drugs can reduce hospital stays by anywhere from 11 to 16 percent.And so, if you think about keeping people out of hospitals or physician offices or reducing hospital stays, that really can result in meaningful savings. And that would be the result of more or better drugs reaching the market over the next decades.Erin Wright: And how is the FDA now supporting or even helping to endorse AI driven drug development?Terence Flynn: If companies are applying for more drug approvals here as a result of AI discovery capabilities without modernization, the FDA could actually become the bottleneck and limit the number of drugs approved each year.And so, in June, the agency rolled out an AI tool called Elsa that's looking to improve the drug review timelines. Now, Elsa has the potential to accelerate these timelines for new therapies. It can take anywhere from six to 10 months for the FDA to actually approve a drug. And so, these AI tools could potentially help decrease those timelines.Erin Wright: And are you actually seeing some of these biopharma companies actually investing in AI talent?Terence Flynn: Yes, definitely. I mean, AI related job postings in our sector have doubled since 2021. Companies are increasingly hiring across the board for a number of different, parts of their workflow, including discovery, which we just talked about. But also, clinical trials, marketing, regulatory – a whole host of different job descriptions.Erin Wright: So, whether it's optimizing hospital operations or accelerating drug discovery, AI is emerging as a powerful lever here – to bend the healthcare cost curve.Terence Flynn: Exactly. The challenge is adoption, but the potential is transformative. Erin, thanks so much for taking the time to talk with us.Erin Wright: Great speaking with you, Terence.Terence Flynn: And thanks everyone for listening.

J Darrin Gross If you're willing, I'd like to ask you, George Otel, what is the BIGGEST RISK?   George Otel The biggest risk when it comes to funding, is not looking for funding early enough, because the biggest risk is when people call me that they need funding yesterday. So it's I tell people you always have to look for funding, even if you don't need it, because when you need it, you may not find it where you may be. Tweaks. Expensive because of your situation. Let's say you got to look for funding when you're doing good, when you're doing great, because the lenders see less risk in you, because when, when you desperate, you you have a need your fire, fire you're burning, then that's a risk. So for the risk, they want to get more premium. So that's, that's how it works. The biggest risk is like, if, if you always got to look for funding, because it's you got to have funding options lined up, because you always growing. You're looking for equipment, you're looking for working capital, even lines of credit. We have lines of credit. So I tell people you rather have those lines of credit and not use it, then you need it and you don't have it, because that's that's another thing. So for example, there's a lot of loans do right right now for the there's a lot of balloons, though, and banks will like to when you approach them, like five, six months in advance to your balloon. You don't want to wait two months because it's too late. It's going to take two, three months to go to the process. So once the balloon is done, it's you're going to be in default. So it's because you got to refinance before that. So the biggest risk is not looking for funding early enough. And again, in good times, the banks, local banks, are really good. I love my local banks, but we are in uncertain times, a lot of volatility, and they don't like risk, so they avoid risk. Also private money lenders, they more risk. They have more appetite for the risk. And there is a small premium, and obviously it's worth it, because you'd rather pay a small premium and get your funding lined up, then have no funding option and be in a unpleasant situation. So also working with a funding finance broker like our company, because we have multiple options lined up. So basically, when the clients come to us in 1015, minutes conversation, initial conversation, we present them multiple funding option. We ask them about how they position their assets, the cash flow, how everything works. Then we present the Multiple option, because when you go to the bank, to to the local bank, they give you one option, and he said yes or no, but we have different options lined up. So if this one doesn't work, we're moving to the next and so on, until you get the funding and you getting the to the results you you need. https://bizfunding.net/lander https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgeotel/

Send us a textFeeling emotionally drained, cynical about your work, or lacking professional fulfillment? You're not alone. Burnout affects healthcare providers at staggering rates, with midwives facing unique vulnerabilities due to the intensity of our profession.Drawing from personal experience and evidence-based strategies, in this episode, Cara and Missi unpack the differences between burnout, compassion fatigue, and moral distress while offering practical tools to rebuild resilience.  We explore the four pillars of resilience that sustain midwives through challenging times: connection with supportive community, establishment of healthy boundaries, development of self-compassion practices, and reconnection with purpose and joy. These foundations help counteract the emotional exhaustion and depersonalization that characterize burnout.While individual coping strategies matter, we emphasize that burnout isn't just a personal failing—it's often systemic. Midwives deserve workplaces that protect their wellbeing through adequate staffing, reasonable expectations, and supportive policies. Those in leadership positions have a responsibility to advocate for these changes.Our top ten resilience strategies provide actionable steps you can implement immediately: giving yourself permission to rest, advocating for your needs, continuing to learn, debriefing after difficult experiences, keeping visual reminders of your "why," moving your body, protecting your sleep, creating post-shift rituals, setting boundaries, and finding your people. Remember that a thriving midwife provides better care—your wellbeing matters not just for yourself, but for all the families you serve.What resilience practice will you commit to this week?

Ted Oakley, Managing Partner and Founder of Oxbow Advisors, joins Julia La Roche on episode 285 to discuss the economy and markets.Sponsored by Monetary Metals. https://monetary-metals.com/julia In this episode, Ted warns that markets are extremely expensive at 23x future earnings while the economy is flatlining. He expects coming Fed rate cuts to be an Arthur Burns-style policy mistake, creating a window to sell long bonds before higher structural inflation takes hold over the next 5-10 years. Oakley advocates significant cash positions (his firm holds 50% short-term treasuries) and exposure to commodities, energy, and gold as hedges against dollar decline and inflation. He sees concerning parallels to late 1990s day-trading mania among retail investors and emphasizes risk management over aggressive growth, particularly for older investors who need to preserve wealth rather than chase returns.With more than forty years of experience in advising high-net-worth clients in the investment industry, Oakley implements the firm's proprietary investment strategies and the “Oxbow Principles” to provide a unique investment perspective. He is a frequent guest on FOX Business News, Bloomberg Radio, KITCO News, Cheddar TV, Yahoo Finance, and many more.
