Jim McTague takes a road trip through Owensboro, Kentucky, revealing a "K-shaped" economy where retail business is "dead" for blue-collar residents relying on federal aid. Conversely, Jeffersonville, Ohio, is experiencing a "gold rush" as Amazon and Honda build massive data and battery centers. However, some local residents feel overwhelmed by progress, lacking the imagination or education to capitalize on these high-tech industrial shifts and training opportunities.

People are calling the new ChatGPT Voice their “AGI moment.”

This final episode of our Confidence series ties everything together: the inner work of accepting discomfort and self-doubt, defusing from self-critical thoughts, and clarifying values now becomes the foundation for outer action. You can build confidence through the daily practice of taking small committed actions, again and again, in alignment with your values, even when you don't feel ready.  We'll dig into strategies like psychological flexibility: the ability to be present with thoughts, feelings, and sensations without letting them stop you from doing what matters. With that flexibility, we can shift from self-focused attention (consumed by what others are thinking, picking apart your own performance in real time) to task-focused attention. Self-focused attention takes the prefrontal cortex partially offline and redirects computing power to threat-detection and self-monitoring. Shifting attention to the task brings it back online. You think more clearly. You respond more flexibly. You perform closer to the level you're actually capable of. The practice is simple to describe and genuinely hard to do: when you notice self-focused attention taking over, pause, ask "What does this moment call for?" and do the next best thing, imperfectly. You'll get pulled back into self-monitoring. That's okay. That's actually the practice. That's where the real strength is built.    About: The Joy Lab Podcast is an Ambie-nominated podcast that blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, anxiety, and depression.

More about Victor Frankl's work from VFIA.   Full transcript here   Common Questions: Q: How do I actually start building confidence when I don't feel confident at all? A: Start with small committed actions (not big goals) that are aligned with your values and take those small actions even when you feel doubtful or uncomfortable. These small actions are the most important starting point, they collect evidence your nervous system can learn from (I can do it!), and the feeling of confidence can follow those small actions.   Q: Why does my anxiety get worse when I'm in the middle of doing something I care about? A: That's self-focused attention. Your energy and focus gets redirected from the task to self-monitoring and threat-detection; this episode explains the neuroscience, introduces the shift to task-focused attention, and gives you a simple one-question reset to bring your prefrontal cortex back online.   Key moments: [00:00] Welcome to the final episode of the Confidence series — committed action, the last step [00:30] Recap of the series: Ep. 274 (being with discomfort), Ep. 275 (unhooking from thoughts), Ep. 276 (clarifying values) — now it's time to act [01:00] Quoting Dr. Russ Harris: "The actions of confidence come first; the feelings of confidence come later." [01:30] Henry: up until now, we've done the inner work — now it's time for the outer work [02:00] Committed action: moving toward what matters even when uncomfortable, doubtful, or uncertain [02:30] ACT's psychological flexibility: being present with thoughts, feelings, and sensations without letting them stop you [03:30] The amygdala learns through action: "Oh, I just handled that. This isn't as dangerous as I thought." Over time the alarm quiets — not because you forced it, but because you gave it evidence that you can do hard things [04:30] Aimee: psychological flexibility is at the heart of courage and confidence — it's not the absence of self-doubt, it's the ability to be with it [06:00] Experiencing anxiety during a task is not a reliable predictor of performance — that is liberating [07:00] The real performance problem: not the anxiety, but the anxiety about the anxiety — self-focused attention [07:30] Self-focused attention: running assessments about being judged, picking apart your performance in real time, obsessing over the shaky voice or red patches [08:00] Russ Harris's hands-over-eyes metaphor: your thoughts are your hands — self-focused attention is covering your eyes with them [09:30] Cognitive defusion creates the space — unhook from the thoughts, shift attention to the task [10:00] The task-focused question: "What does this moment call for? What can I do right now?" [11:00] Self-focused attention takes the prefrontal cortex partially offline; shifting to task-focused attention brings the prefrontal cortex back online — clearer thinking, more flexibility, better performance [12:30] You don't have to wait until self-critical thoughts stop — you can have them AND shift your attention to the task [14:00] You'll get pulled back into self-focus — that's okay; that's another repetition, another chance to reset [15:30] This is why Joy Lab's experiments lean on mindfulness — the practice of returning attention is the whole skill [16:00] Rather than big hairy audacious goals — work on what we've already built: defusing thoughts, clarifying values, task-focused attention [17:30] As confidence builds in one area, it spreads to others — "I can do hard things" becomes a foundation [19:00] Confidence is not a destination — it's an ongoing practice; some days self-doubt is louder, and the practice is showing up anyway [20:00] Dr. Anne Wilson Schaef: "Perfectionism is not a quest for the best. It is a pursuit of the worst in ourselves." [20:30] Small imperfect actions are part of the best of who we are — that resilient nature to take small steps that build [20:45] Joy Lab final Experiment for the Element of Confidence is available [21:00] Closing wisdom from Vincent van Gogh: "Great things are done by a series of small things brought together."    Like and follow Joy Lab on Socials:  Instagram Linkedin Facebook YouTube   Please remember that this content is for informational and educational purposes only.

Every Christian woman navigating infertility eventually faces the deeper question beneath “Why me?”: Can I still trust God if my path to motherhood looks nothing like I imagined? This episode explores how infertility exposes our fears about God's character and why lasting peace comes not from certainty about the outcome, but from confidence in the One who holds it.

#157: On today's episode, Han sits down with Isaac Hindin-Miller, a fashion journalist turned DJ, interviewer, content creator, and founder of I LIKE YOU!, for an honest conversation about external validation, low self-worth, negative self-talk, and the lifelong work of learning how to feel whole within yourself.Isaac and Han unpack the realization that no amount of attention, achievement, access, popularity, or external approval can fill an internal void. They discuss what it actually takes to rebuild your self-esteem, interrupt destructive thought patterns, stop outsourcing your worth, and choose peace and acceptance instead of constantly chasing happiness. They get into:Why external approval can never create lasting self-worthWhy happiness cannot be contingent on external validationChoosing acceptance and peace instead of chasing constant happinessNavigating imposter syndrome and self doubtHow to interrupt cruel and destructive negative self-talkThe problem with finding validation elsewhereDepression, sobriety, and breaking cycles of self-destructive behaviorThe connection between low self-esteem and unhealthy coping mechanisms Social media, comparison, and attaching your value to your workIntellectualizing trauma instead of allowing yourself to feel itWhy understanding your emotions is different from actually feeling themHow choosing a different behavior can lead to a healthier mindsetFinding identity, hobbies, and joy outside of your careerHow relationships act as mirrors for the parts of ourselves that still need healing& MORE!This episode is for anyone who has ever looked outside of themselves for proof that they are worthy, lovable, important, or enough.

Is our experience with God, and relating to God more like relating to a theoretical idea? Or is our experience with God actually, touching the eternal?

How do books shape children's sense of identity, belonging and understanding of others? In this podcast episode and article, we explore the importance of representation in children's literature and why inclusive storytelling matters in early childhood education.

Experiencing the Healthy and Holy Effect of HumorBarry Howard

Join host Sue Rose Minahan as she welcomes Evolutionary Astrologer Marie O'Neill to explore the new Aquarius-Leo Nodal Shift, which begins its 18-month cycle this Sunday.The lunar nodal cycle repeats on average every 18.6 years (roughly 18 years and 7 to 11 months). The North Node last occupied Aquarius from December 19, 2007, to August 21, 2009—a period centered around a "breakdown to rebuild" theme. However, today's planetary alignments and signs completely reframe the evolutionary homework of this upcoming nodal cycle.Experiencing the destiny path of the Aquarius North Node means learning to channel our inherent creative spark for the greater good. This requires releasing the need for personal validation, ego approval, or acting from a place of entitlement.The Power of Astrological StorytellingSince prehistoric times, humanity has used myths, stories, and analogies to find common ground and bridge complex concepts. With Jupiter transiting Leo for the next year, its theatrical energy will naturally amplify our desire to display and express beliefs through the art of storytelling.Drawing from Marie's recently completed Masterclasses on Astrological Storytelling at Kepler College, Sue and Marie will discuss how sharing stories and metaphors can bridge deeper astrological meaning to strengthen interpretation.Connect with inspiration!

Exposition of Ephesians | part 49

Nearly 30% of people who experienced homelessness in Clark County last year were children. That’s according to a recent report by the Council for Homelessness, which also found that the percentage of family households stabilized through rent assistance dropped by 5% last year.    For families experiencing homelessness in Vancouver, they may have to wait months until a spot becomes available at the few shelters that allow families. The nonprofit Share operates two shelters in Vancouver for families, each with 14 rooms, on-site laundry, a communal kitchen and dining area, and indoor and outdoor play areas for children. As The Columbian recently reported, Share’s shelters have remained at or near capacity for years. Adrianna Kofoed, director of family shelters at Share, says she and her staff have seen increased demand in just the past year, with at least five or six calls a day from parents seeking help for their families.    Kofoed joins us to share more details about Share’s family shelters. Also joining us is Gracie White, a mother who has been staying at Share’s Homestead shelter for roughly a month with four of her children.    

Sis, today we're talking about escaping excessive exercise — because rest is required in recovery. If you never miss a Monday… if you work out every single day… if you alter your vacations around getting a workout in… if you carry insane guilt and punish yourself later when you miss one… if you skip social plans to exercise, or your routine is affecting your marriage and your family… if you restrict your food on the days you move less — this episode is yours. I've been exactly where you are, and I'm proof you can lay this down. My clients are proof. And sis, you can be proof too. Why this happens (and why it's not your fault) This is so common for women struggling with disordered eating. Why? Because you've learned to cut corners. Cut calories. Take away. Survive on less in every way possible. You've manipulated your food to do it — and you've manipulated your body and your movement to do it, too. I didn't start out working out twice a day. I didn't start out doing compulsive movements on my bedroom floor just to burn a little more. None of it happened overnight. The disorder built it over time while I ran on fumes. I was a cardio queen who genuinely believed she loved that life. Letting it go was one of the hardest parts of my recovery — and what saved me was discovering movement that had nothing to do with burning anything. Mindful meditation. Yoga. Experiencing my body for the first time without a calorie counter attached. And I've watched a client go from 7 days a week at nearly two hours a day… to 3 days a week at 30 minutes. If that feels impossible to you right now, stay with me. 5 steps to release excessive exercise 1. Get real with your current routine. Write it out. How much, how often, how long? Then write out the feelings — what comes up when you don't get a workout in? What's the anxiety like around when you'll fit it in? What rises up in you at the mere suggestion of cutting back? Awareness has to come before change. 2. Understand the power of permission. You must grant yourself permission — with exercise and with food. So much of the panic around cutting back is really about permission you've never given yourself. What you give your mind power over is what will have power over you. Voice the permission out loud: "I've run my body ragged for years, and I can choose to live differently." 3. Picture your future recovered self. How much does she exercise? Does she really want to be on a treadmill every single day — or is she at brunch with her family? For me, the honest answer was: I want to meditate. I want yoga. I want to relax. Some days I want to do nothing at all. Ask yourself honestly: is my current routine enjoyable, or is it an obligation driven by fear? (And be ready — there's an identity shift in this one. "I'm just someone who loves the gym" was a badge of honor for me until I got honest about it.) 4. Pick one tangible, small goal. Get off the treadmill five minutes early. Replace Monday's workout with journal time. Then actually put your rest days on the calendar — society tells you to pen in your gym time, so do the reverse and pen in your rest. Planning in advance sets positive intent, which builds momentum, which gets you the result. 5. Progress, not perfection. If you decide in advance to rest and then catch yourself scheming a workout anyway — that's not failure, sis. That's awareness. That's growth. You're going against diet culture and beliefs you've held as truth for years. Give yourself grace. It's okay to not work out today It's okay to rest if… Your body is telling you to slow down You're trying something new with your time Life is overrun with work, family, and obligations You're sick You're not nourishing your body enough You're hurting or injured You're struggling with body image today You're making time to fill your own cup or chase a dream True happiness is making peace with what's no longer serving you — and creating a healthier version of it. A few lines from the episode "Rest is required in recovery. It's a non-negotiable." "What you give your mind power over is what will have power over you." "None of it happened overnight — the disorder built it over time while I ran on fumes." "This workout isn't going to matter in five years. It isn't going to matter in two weeks." "That's not failure — that's growth, awareness, evolving, learning." "If you're listening to me right now on the treadmill… get off of it. This is your permission." Your permission slip this week Choose the days you're not going to work out — and put them on the calendar like an appointment. Then pick something purposeful to fill that time: a coffee date with someone you love, a phone call, a journal session, or absolutely nothing at all. There's no right or wrong way to do this. Gradual works. Cold turkey works. What matters is honoring yourself and your body. Connect with Lindsey:

ReStart Inc., a nonprofit homelessness services provider, converted a vacant midtown Kansas City hotel into short-term furnished apartments for families experiencing homelessness. The Family Lodge is a 45-unit complex with on-site social services to support families in their transition to permanent housing.

A scientific study—which sought to explore how much of people’s musical sensitivity is cultural and how much of it is instinctual—played drum rhythms for newborn babies while monitoring their brain wave activity. Occasionally, the researchers would omit a beat from the rhythm. Amazingly, they found the infants’ brain waves spiked right when the note was left out—showing their young minds were already anticipating that beat and reacting to its absence. The study brings to mind the amazing way that God has created us. He’s even wired us to embrace the wonderful gift of music and respond to it with joy. And, as the psalmist David writes in Psalm 30, to respond to God’s grace with music of our own—songs of “praise to his holy name” (v. 4). Yet pain, exhaustion, regret, or grief can sometimes weigh our hearts down and threaten to silence our songs of praise. Experiencing despair, even fearing death, David pleaded with God to deliver, asking “What is gained if I am silenced? . . . Will the dust praise you?” (v. 9). David did experience God’s faithfulness as joy was restored once more, as God turned his “wailing into dancing” and “clothed [him] with joy” (v. 11). As God heals our hearts and fills them with the rhythms of joy we were born to dance to, we too can testify: “Lord my God, I will praise you forever” (v. 12).

The only way to really comprehend the severity of the loss of the Beis HaMikdash is to first appreciate what we had.

In this episode of Don't Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman study Ezra and Nehemiah, following Israel's return from exile as they begin the long work of rebuilding Jerusalem, the temple, and their covenant relationship with God. These chapters remind us that every story of faith includes moments of starting again, and that the Lord is always ready to welcome His people home. As the people lay the temple's foundation, face opposition, and press forward despite discouragement, they discover that rebuilding rarely happens all at once. Faith grows one step at a time through small, consistent acts of devotion, even when progress feels slow. Again and again, scripture reminds us that the good hand of God is upon His people, strengthening them as they continue the work He has called them to do. This episode also highlights the role of prophets in times of rebuilding. Through the words of Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai, and Zechariah, we see that God's servants encourage, strengthen, and remind His people of who they truly are. Rather than being defined by past mistakes, the Lord invites us to accept His new decree over our lives and move forward with faith, courage, and joy. Above all, Ezra and Nehemiah testify that rebuilding is not a story of shame but of hope. The joy of the Lord becomes our strength as we remember His goodness, recognize His hand in our lives, and choose once again to walk with Him. No matter where we begin, His gracious hand is always reaching out, inviting us to build something beautiful with Him.

In this episode of the Integral Yoga Podcast (Ep. 152), we sit down with master percussionist and sound healer Arjun Bruggeman. Known extensively for his decades of touring and playing the tabla alongside kirtan wallah Krishna Das, Arjun shares his profound evolutionary journey from a young punk-rock-loving drummer to a devotional musician and sound journey guide.Arjun opens up about his early life, the hilarious story of how he got his first drum kit, and his first chaotic introduction to the world of kirtan. He dives deep into what happens internally while anchoring a room full of chanters, sharing incredible transcendent experiences of devotion and the feeling of complete stillness on stage.We also explore his shift during the pandemic toward his solo "Sound Journey" work—inspired by the etheric nature of the Northern Lights—and how he uses meditation and ambient percussion to help others drop out of the mind and into the "sensation arts" of the body.

The problem of Australian knowing and engaging Indonesia, as our closest neighbour, has vexed successive Australia governments ever since Keating called for Asian literacy in the 1980s. Toward that end, we have seen intermittent policy interventions recognizing the strategic importance of what has come to known as Australia's “Asian capabilities”. This includes a National Asian Language and Studies program in the 1990s, a 2012 white paper under the Gillard government and in 2015, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade unveiled the New Colombo Plan which provides grants and high prestige scholarships to Australian undergraduates studying in the region. And yet Australia's quest for “Asian Capabilities” has been nonetheless been marked by declining numbers in Asian language learning, closures of Asian studies departments and programs at senior high school and in universities and with repeated warnings from educators, language teachers, high schools and universities about the catastrophic decline in student numbers. An important element of Australia's relationship to Asia has been forged through study abroad programs which send hundreds of Australian students to Asia each year. The Australian Consortium for In Country Studies Indonesia Studies, known as ACICIS, is the longest running facilitator of these kinds of programs to Indonesia, having facilitated some 5000 of Australian students to Indonesian universities since it was established nearly 30 years ago. This month also marks the launch of a new book on the generational impact of these programs called Experiencing Indonesia: 30 years of ACICIS published by ANU Press and edited by Kirrilee Hughes, Kate Naidu and David Reeve. Today I'm speaking to Liam Prince, Director of the ACICIS program based at the University of Western Australia about the future of Australia's Asia and Indonesia capabilities.

Continuing the Summer Reset series on resetting your body, this conversation picks up where the last episode left off – not with behavior modification, but with the deeper question underneath it all: How do we actually see ourselves, and where did that story come from? Alisa Keeton has spent 35 years at the intersection of faith and wellness, and what she brings to this conversation isn't a program, it's a framework. Alisa unpacks the way chronic stress rewires the brain, the way childhood shame messages shape our relationship with food, and the way the body was designed not to be worshiped or punished. Lisa brings her own story to the conversation as well, including what God showed her about neglecting the body while serving Him with everything else. If you're looking for a spiritually grounded, scientifically informed path toward genuine freedom in the body, this episode is for you!

Owen Alicience didn't begin playing football until he was 16 years old. Before becoming a Penn State offensive lineman, he was a hockey player who thought his high school coach was joking when he predicted that football could take him to the Division I level.His introduction to the sport was anything but easy. Alicience entered his first fall camp with no previous football experience, then faced two four-star edge rushers in the first game of his career. He survived the early adversity, fell in love with the process of improving and committed himself completely to the game.That commitment included transforming his body from approximately 220 pounds when he started playing to more than 300 pounds as a college offensive lineman.In this Penn State player profile, Alicience discusses the influence of his parents, the coach who recognized his potential, his rapid introduction to football, the challenge of gaining weight, his first experience inside Beaver Stadium and why Penn State's culture felt like the right fit.He also explains how being overlooked continues to motivate him as he works to take advantage of an opportunity he once never imagined was possible.Subscribe for more Penn State Football player profiles, behind-the-scenes stories and exclusive Nittany Lions content.Presented by PAM Health - https://pamhealth.com/Chapters:00:00 Meet Owen Alicience00:22 Starting Football at 1600:48 Brutal First Fall Camp01:03 Facing Two Four-Star Edge Rushers01:44 The Coach Who Changed His Journey02:12 Going From 220 to 310 Pounds02:39 First Penn State Visit03:01 Experiencing the Beaver Stadium White Out03:31 The Penn State Family Is Everywhere03:49 Fishing, Hunting and Golf04:06 Underdog MentalityFOLLOW STATE MEDIA HERE:► TWITTER | ⁠https://twitter.com/StateMediaPSU⁠► TIKTOK | ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@statemediapsu⁠► INSTAGRAM | ⁠https://www.instagram.com/statemediapsu/⁠► YOUTUBE | ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@StateMediaPSU?sub_confirmation=1⁠► FACEBOOK | https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558183472272#PennStateFootball #WeAre #CollegeFootball

Something I learned from diet culture was that the taste of sweet was "bad." If I craved sweetness then something must be out of balance. There was probably a period of time where craving sweetness sent me into a panic where I had to become a detective to understand why I wanted something sweet. Learning about the five tastes changed my perspective. We have 5 basic tastes that include sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and savory. Experiencing all five tastes can make a meal feel more satisfying and even regulating to your nervous system. Wanting to taste sweetness doesn't mean there is something wrong with you, but that your body is always looking for a balanced, well rounded eating experience. Additionally, the demonization of sweet foods has led to a complete disconnect from the body. One of the first tastes we experience as a baby is sweet. Sweet can be connected to care, warmth, attention, attunement, and connection.
