Many teachers are frustrated when AI gives great results one day and confusing or unreliable responses the next. This episode explores why that happens and how it affects both teachers and students in real classrooms. I sit down with Rob the AI Guy to unpack a key concept that explains much of this inconsistency and helps educators use AI more wisely. If you want clearer results and better classroom conversations about AI, this episode will help. In this episode, you'll learn how to: Understand why AI responses can drift or become unreliable over time Use simple strategies, like starting fresh conversations, to get better results Explain the idea of a context window to students in clear, age-appropriate ways Help students avoid overtrusting or misusing AI tools Emphasize critical thinking when working with AI in the classroom Show notes and resources: https://www.coolcatteacher.com/e922

Have you ever been asked what you do as a coach… and suddenly found yourself fumbling, overexplaining, or defaulting to vague phrases that don't actually land? Or maybe you know what you do in your head, but saying it out loud feels clunky or overly formal.   In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm talking about why "coach speak" actually gets in the way of connection—and how learning to explain what you do in simple, real-life language can completely change how potential clients respond to you.   If you've been struggling to clearly explain what you do, worried about sounding salesy, or hiding behind vague language because you don't feel confident yet, then this episode is for you.   Resources Mentioned: The Confident Coach Certification Waitlist is the ONLY certification specifically for divorced moms who want overcome imposter syndrome and finally feel legit: https://products.ambershaw.com/certification   What I Discuss: 01:36 Why clear communication matters more than sounding "professional" 03:06 Why coaching jargon muddies your message instead of helping it 08:37 The Fourth Grader Test—and why it's such a powerful filter 10:58 How to simplify what you say without dumbing it down 13:46 The real fears that keep coaches vague (and how to move past them) 16:12 How clarity builds trust faster than anything else   Find more from Amber Shaw: Instagram: @msambershaw Website: ambershaw.com

Do miracles still happen or have we explained them away with modern medicine? Today, I am with Dr. Marc Siegel, Fox News senior medical analyst, NYU clinical professor, and practicing physician, to explore why many doctors believe miracles are not relics of the past, but realities they still encounter today. He argues that as medical skill advances, the value of human life and the reality of the soul become harder to ignore. Miracles are often not single supernatural moments, but an accumulation of unlikely outcomes, faith, perseverance, and healing.

Looking for an educational overview of today's most commonly searched retirement planning topics? In this episode of the Retire Sooner Podcast, Wes Moss and Christa DiBiase provide context around retirement income planning, tax considerations, and widely referenced financial frameworks, helping listeners better understand how these concepts are typically discussed. • Review how Roth IRA conversions are generally evaluated and why converting an entire retirement account balance in a single tax year can materially affect taxable income calculations. • Explain how marginal tax brackets apply to large conversions and why simplified terms like “tax bomb” may not fully reflect how tax liability is determined. • Highlight considerations associated with forgotten or inactive 401(k) accounts and why consolidation is often discussed from an organizational or administrative perspective. • Examine how withdrawal flexibility prior to Social Security eligibility is commonly framed when discussing early-retirement income planning. • Outline factors frequently reviewed when evaluating whether life insurance coverage remains appropriate as family and financial circumstances change. • Clarify how Secure 2.0 legislation outlines limited 529 plan–to–Roth IRA rollovers, including applicable statutory rules, eligibility criteria, and contribution constraints. • Compare the traditionally cited 4% withdrawal framework with alternative retirement income scenarios that include pensions or guaranteed fixed-rate income sources. • Discuss how “dry powder” reserves are often described using bond ETFs or money market ladders within retirement planning conversations. • Evaluate the role small- and mid-capitalization stocks may play alongside large-cap equities within diversified, long-term portfolio discussions. • Reframe home value benchmarks in an inflationary environment while noting why mortgage status is often considered when assessing retirement readiness.

That speech wasn't just good — it was strategic. Tara breaks down why Donald Trump's tightly focused, 18-minute address may be one of the most important speeches heading into the midterms. From crushing prescription drug prices to exposing massive health care fraud tied to Obamacare, insurance companies, and illegal immigration, Trump finally said out loud what most Americans never hear — because if you don't listen to talk radio, you have no idea what was done to this country. This episode explains the corruption, the incentives, and why repeating this message every single day could change everything.

For the first time in weeks, Trump sounded like Trump — focused, disciplined, and deadly clear. In this episode, Tara breaks down the speech that finally connected the dots for everyday Americans: inflation + housing costs + illegal immigration + corruption — all tied together in one message. From affordability and interest rates to housing shortages, welfare incentives, crushed wages, and massive fraud, this was the explanation millions of Americans have been waiting to hear — especially those who don't live on talk radio.

Ghosting has become a two-way street in today's hiring world. Job seekers feel like recruiters disappear after they send in their application or even after a face-to-face interview. Recruiters, on the other hand, feel that applicants vanish just as often, not showing up for interviews, not returning calls, or even skipping their first day after completing the entire onboarding process. And at the same time, recruiters are overwhelmed with applicants who apply for jobs they're not qualified for or who have no experience in the industry at all.  In our light industrial, warehousing, and logistics sectors, I feel this problem is amplified. These environments move fast. Productivity, shipping schedules, and labor shortages collide with the reality of high turnover, long shifts, and job seekers searching for stability. Somewhere in the middle of all that, communication breaks down, and both sides are feeling frustrated.  I'm Marty with Warehouse and Operations as a Career and today I want to take a look at these frustrations and talk about what’s going on and what both sides could do a little differently.  I hear from applicants that Recruiters don't care about me. When an applicant submits a resume or fills out an online application, they often attach hope to it. They picture the job, the schedule, the pay, and what it would mean for their family. When they don't hear back quickly, or at all, it can feel personal. One person shared with me that there are too many automated systems, and not enough real interaction.  I'd have to agree that most companies now rely on automated applicant tracking systems. These systems filter applications, sort resumes, and may even generate a generic we've received your application email. The problem is that applicants crave human feedback. When all they get is an automated message and no follow-up, they assume they've been ignored. And when they do talk to someone, only to never hear back again, it feels like being dismissed all over again.  It's important to remember the fast pace of the industry though. Warehousing and manufacturing don't slow down. Recruiters are juggling open orders, client requests, resignations, no-shows, and internal deadlines, all at the same time. When 100 people apply for a forklift job, and only 12 actually meet the minimum requirements, it's simply not feasible to call each of the remaining 88 applicants personally to explain why they are not qualified.  Applicants interpret this as ghosting, but, or I feel, in most cases it's not intentional. It's more of a bandwidth issue.  I recently had a hiring agent tell me that applicants don't always realize they don't meet the requirements. And I think this is an uncomfortable truth, but an important one.  Many applicants may believe, If I apply, maybe they'll call and train me. Or I've been in a warehouse before, so I can drive a forklift or pick it up really quick, I'm a fast learner. Or maybe they could be thinking, I'm sure they'll make an exception.  I'm certain recruiters wish they could take more chances, but safety regulations, productivity metrics, and client expectations don't allow it. Some jobs simply require knowledge, certifications, or experience that the applicant doesn’t have yet.  When an applicant assumes they're qualified and the recruiter sees clearly that they are not, the communication gap widens, and silence can feel like disrespect.  Looking for work is stressful. You may have seen our webinar Looking for work is hard work. When a candidate feels rejected, especially without explanation, it hits hard. They may assume they weren't good enough. Their experience isn't valuable. And that recruiters don't care. And with that mindset, even small delays can feel like we're being ghosted.  And the recruiter's perspective is that applicants disappear just as much, sometimes more! Recruiters feel the ghosting too, and in many cases, the impact is heavier on them because it affects production, client expectations, and the entire shift lineup. Even their pay, or commission.   Let’s see, I had a list of what a recruiter friend called her pain points. Here it is. Ok, number 1, The No-Call, No-Show Interview. This is one of the biggest frustrations recruiters faces. They schedule interviews, send reminders, follow up with calls and texts and then the applicant simply doesn't show up. No message, no explanation. Sometimes the recruiter learns the applicant accepted a competing offer. Sometimes they don't find out anything at all.  Number 2. is dropping out after the job offer. Even after a successful interview and onboarding, applicants stop answering calls. They disappear after receiving the offer. They accept the job but then take a different offer with a higher pay rate. Recruiters understand, people need to do what's best for themselves and their families. But when deadlines are tight and clients are waiting, this ghosting creates real operational challenges. A phone call could go a long way. I always think about not burning bridges. Of course I'm going to take the better job, but who knows. I may need to reach back out to this recruiter someday!  Alright, number 3. The most painful ghosting, not showing up on the first day. Remember or recent episode titled NCNS? Anyway, this one is devastating for clients and recruiters. After investing time, energy, paperwork, background checks, and orientation, the applicant simply does not show. And many never call to explain why.  In the light industrial field, where schedules are built tightly around shift needs, one missing person can throw off picking rates, loading times, assembly line speeds, shipping windows, and overall productivity.  Recruiters and hiring agents understand that emergencies happen. Cars break down. Kids get sick. People change their minds. But the absence of communication leaves recruiters scrambling, often long after the applicant has already moved on.  In my opinion, or the way I look at it, by the way, that and a dollar will get you a donut, but I feel Ghosting isn't really about disrespect. It's more about fear, stress, assumptions, and misaligned expectations.  Here are my thoughts towards the root causes of driving the cycle. Theres too much automation, not enough human contact. Technology sped up the hiring process but it also removed the personal element both sides need. And job seekers apply to dozens of positions at once. One-click applications mean applicants may not even remember all the jobs they applied for. Recruiters then spend hours calling candidates who barely recall applying. And a big one, many applicants apply for jobs they aren't qualified for. Not out of laziness, but out of hope. Here's one I experienced this week. Recruiters are managing heavy workloads. When you're trying to fill 20 positions by tomorrow, one on one follow-up becomes impossible.  It's easy for all of us to assume the worst. Applicants think, They didn't call, so I must not matter. Recruiters think, If they're not answering now, they won't show up on the job. These assumptions kill communication before it even begins. And quite frankly I think their cop outs and ridiculous!   So, now that we know all that, how can, us as applicants, reduce the chance of being ghosted. While nothing eliminates ghosting entirely, here are ways we can dramatically increase our chances of hearing back and staying in the running. First, lets apply only to jobs we meet the minimum qualifications for. This shows the recruiter you're serious and saves you both time. Next, answer our phone and check voicemail. I know, we're all getting 10 spam calls a day so we screen them. But remember, a recruiter may be making 50 calls for our position. Recruiters move fast. Missing a call by two hours can mean the position is already filled. Here is one few of us do. We shouldn’t have to but it helps. Follow up professionally. A simple message, voice mail or email, goes a long way, Hi, just checking on the status of my application. I'm still very interested. And lets be honest about our schedule and abilities. Recruiters will respect transparency. And lastly, if you change your mind, tell someone. Closing the loop builds a good reputation, especially with agencies you may want to work with later.  OK, so how can recruiters do more to reduce ghosting from us applicants? I know that recruiters can't fix every no-show, but they can improve engagement. They can communicate early and clearly. Us applicants respond better when we know timelines and expectations upfront. Maybe send short, personal texts. A text feels more human than an automated email. Or an email with our name in it! And her is a big one. Explain the job requirements before the interview. List details in your ad. This prevents surprises and encourages honesty from us. As recruiters, you are busy, very busy, but try and treat applicants with respect, even when declining them. Don't make us feel bad and leave us with no hope!  Candidates remember how they were treated. Remember we still have to search for a position.  Oh yeah, and please avoid overselling the job. Honesty builds that long-term trust.  Everybody wants the same thing right? Applicants want stability, fair pay, communication, and a chance. Recruiters want reliable workers, honest communication, safety, and productivity. Neither side wakes up intending to ghost anyone most of the time, the silence isn't personal, it's situational.  When both sides understand the pressures the other is under, communication gets better, expectations align, and opportunities become clearer. Ghosting might not disappear entirely, but it loses a bit of its sting. And more importantly, it opens the door to better hiring relationships where respect runs in both directions.  Now that one of the larger opportunities in our industry is solved, we'll call it a wrap. Seriously though, we're all people, our needs and agendas are different, but we can and should help each other when it comes to our professional lives. Have a great week and be safe in all you do. We want to see you back here next week.

If you made smarter use of your email list, would you sell more trips? Sheila Scarborough believes you would. A travel journalist turned tourism marketing consultant, she has helped dozens of organizations hone their marketing strategies. And in the age of social media, she’s still a big believer in old-fashioned email. Sheila joins this episode of the podcast to share how travel entrepreneurs can use email to build a reliable marketing strategy when social stops working. She gives some practical advice on what your email campaigns should look like and gives an inside look at her list-building program. Plus, we have news about a proposed rule that would require international visitors to submit their social media history to U.S. customs officials… and a Hot Minute about why this is a terrible idea. Insights from Sheila Scarborough Sheila had lots of real-world tips about how travel sellers can create email campaigns that nurture profitable relationships with their audience. Here's what she had to say about how to build a solid email list, even if you’re starting small: “You need to make it stupid easy and worth their while to subscribe to your newsletter. So for starters, the sign-up box needs to be on every page of your website. There needs to be a call to action at the bottom of every single blog post. “You’ll also have a landing page set up that is specifically on your website for email subscriptions. And that’s going to be the URL you are going to share out regularly on social. “Explain why it’s valuable. Explain the periodicity. Make it stupid easy to sign up because it’s everywhere they go on your website, at the bottom of every blog post.” Plus, she had great perspectives on: Why the “sales funnel” doesn’t work What kind of email content your audience really wants Which email metrics you should be tracking Resources Mentioned in This Episode Learn more about Tourism Currents at tourismcurrents.com.

Funerals began Wednesday in Australia for some of the 15 Jewish victims of the Dec. 14 Bondi Beach massacre, including Rabbi Eli Schlanger. The Chabad rabbi was shot at the popular Hanukkah candle-lighting festival near his synagogue during the terrorist attack by an ISIS-affiliated suspect. Among those who will be mourning is a former Ottawan, Michael Gencher, who now runs the Australian arm of the Jewish advocacy organization StandWithUs. Gencher was a close friend of the murdered rabbi and knew others who were killed. Gencher blames what happened squarely on the Australian government. He believes much more could have been done by the federal government over the last two years to crack down on escalating antisemitic hate, which included street protests and firebombings. Meanwhile, Jason Adessky, a former Montrealer, was near Bondi Beach with his children and their Canadian grandmother on Sunday to pick up Hanukkah treats. They nearly brought the family to the beachfront festivities, but decided against it because of the heat. Now Adessky is “trying not to think about the ‘what ifs'”. On today's episode of The CJN's North Star podcast, host Ellin Bessner is joined by Jason Adessky and Michael Gencher to hear how the massacre has affected them personally, along with Australia's 117,000 other Jewish residents.

Every week brings a new AI benchmark. Higher scores. Bigger claims. Louder voices insisting this changes everything. And yet, when you put AI in front of a real business problem, none of that noise seems to help. In this episode, Rob and Justin dig into why AI benchmarks often feel strangely meaningless in practice and why that disconnect is the point. Benchmarks aren't useless. They're just answering a different question than the one most businesses are asking. This isn't just random conjecture either. Rob walks through what he's learned building actual AI workflows and why a twenty percent improvement on a leaderboard rarely translates into anything you can feel on the job. They talk about why model choice usually isn't the bottleneck, why swapping models should be easy if you've built things the right way, and why the most successful AI work rarely shows up as a flashy demo. Most of the value is happening quietly, off-screen, inside systems that look a lot more like normal software than artificial intelligence. Rob and Justin also talk about why explaining AI is often harder than building it. The first demo people see tends to stick, even when it's the wrong one. Consumer AI feels magical. Business AI face plants unless it's built with intent, structure, and real context. This episode gives leaders better language for that gap, without hype or panic. If you're done chasing benchmarks and just want a way to think about AI that survives contact with reality, this episode's for you.

Shanda didn't believe her boyfriend's little mid-century Austin house held anything darker than outdated wiring or a few creaky floors. Built in the 1950s, remodeled to death, colorful, quirky—nothing about it screamed haunted. And yet the moment she stepped inside, she felt something beneath the bright paint and modern upgrades. Not evil. Not angry. But aware. Then she saw her. A tall, thin woman in a pale pink gown, standing perfectly still in the living room, watching from the shadows as if she belonged there. By the time her boyfriend turned around, the apparition was gone—but the house wasn't finished with her. Objects moved on their own. Items vanished only to reappear across the room in impossible places. Footsteps whispered through the walls at night. A man's voice. A boy's voice. Arguing. Always arguing. Years later, she still wonders what truly lived in that house—because some hauntings warn you. Others protect you. And some blur the line between both. #ghoststory #paranormal #hauntedhouse #truespiritstory #realghoststories #ghostencounter #shadowfigure #haunting #supernatural #ghosts #theunexplained Love real ghost stories?

Big Idea: God completely cleanses and restores his sin-stained children. I. God cleanses a filthy man of his sin.Zechariah 3:1-5Then he showed me the high priest Joshua standing before the angel of the Lord, with Satan standing at his right side to accuse him. The Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan! May the Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn't this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?” Now Joshua was dressed with filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. So the angel of the Lord spoke to those standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes!” Then he said to him, “See, I have removed your iniquity from you, and I will clothe you with festive robes.” Then I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So a clean turban was placed on his head, and they clothed him in garments while the angel of the Lord was standing nearby.II. God restores an untrustworthy man to his service.Zechariah 3:6-7Then the angel of the Lord charged Joshua, “This is what the Lord of Armies says: If you walk in my ways and keep my mandates, you will both rule my house and take care of my courts; I will also grant you access among these who are standing here.III. God promises a broken world his salvation.Zechariah 3:8-10“Listen, High Priest Joshua, you and your colleagues sitting before you; indeed, these men are a sign that I am about to bring my servant, the Branch. Notice the stone I have set before Joshua; on that one stone are seven eyes. I will engrave an inscription on it”—this is the declaration of the Lord of Armies—“and I will take away the iniquity of this land in a single day. On that day, each of you will invite his neighbor to sit under his vine and fig tree.” This is the declaration of the Lord of Armies.Next Steps: Believe: Today, I surrender my soul to King Jesus.Become: I will stop listening to the accuser and start listening to the Father this week. Be Sent: I will share how Jesus forgave me with someone this week. Discussion Questions: What challenges have you faced in this broken world this year?How do you react when someone points out your faults?Do you consider your sin less filthy than someone else's?Will God trust great responsibilities to someone who isn't faithful to keep his Word? Explain your answer.Do you hold on to guilt or shame even after God has forgiven you?Give the first name of someone who needs to experience Jesus's forgiveness this week.Thank God for his gift of forgiveness today. 

What really happens after a collision—and how much control do you actually have over the repair of your vehicle? This episode of https://Drive-Radio.com: The Extra Mile, hosted by John Rush with guests Dan and Robert of https://www.brightonautobody.com, a family-run collision center with nearly 60 years of experience doing things very differently than most shops. This hour dives headfirst into the myths surrounding insurance claims, preferred repair shops, and so-called “rules” drivers are often told they must follow. Do insurance companies really get to decide where your car is fixed? Will you lose your warranty if you choose your own shop? And why are vehicles being totaled faster than ever—even when the damage doesn't look that severe? Dan and Robert pull back the curtain on insurance steering, total-loss algorithms, OEM vs aftermarket parts, and why modern vehicles packed with ADAS sensors, radar systems, and electronics demand far more precision than ever before. They also explain diminished value, Carfax reporting, and what drivers are legally owed when an accident isn't their fault. The conversation covers practical scenarios: What if you're paying out of pocket? What if your vehicle has sentimental value? And why do many collision centers turn down older or "customer-pay" vehicles? From remote estimates and paint-matching myths to classic cars and high deductibles, this episode empowers drivers with actionable knowledge insurance companies don't volunteer. If you've ever felt intimidated, rushed, or unsure after an accident, this episode equips you with clear takeaways: understanding your rights, what insurance companies must provide, and untangling the real impact of claims on your vehicle's value. Get empowered before your claim.

The holidays can feel overwhelming—shopping, decorating, cooking, and trying to create picture-perfect moments. Yet Scripture reminds us that amid the chaos, the true gift of Christmas is Christ Himself. Just as Mary gave birth in a humble stable without the comforts she expected, we too are called to make room for Jesus in the midst of our busy, stressful seasons (Luke 2:7). By simplifying, prioritizing, and focusing on His presence, we discover that the peace and joy of Christmas don’t come from perfection—they come from Him. Highlights Holiday stress often overshadows the true purpose of Christmas: celebrating Jesus’ birth. Mary’s humble circumstances remind us that God’s plans don’t rely on comfort or convenience. Simplifying holiday tasks—limiting gifts, delegating meals, reducing activities—can create space for Christ. Focusing on Jesus transforms ordinary moments into meaningful celebrations. Gratitude for God’s provision, even amid financial or personal challenges, brings peace. Small adjustments in expectations allow families to experience joy without unnecessary stress. Making intentional space for Christ is the ultimate gift we can give ourselves and others. Gift Inspiration: Crosswalk's Holiday Gift Guide Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate the season? Check out our Holiday Gift Guide—from beautifully illustrated Bibles and devotionals to novels, greeting cards, and picture books, there’s something for everyone on your list. Wrap up stories for loved ones, tuck a book into your own nightstand, and join us in celebrating the wonder of giving this Christmas! Full Transcript Below: Preparing Him Room: Making Space for Christ This ChristmasBy: Michelle Lazurek Bible Reading:“…and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.” - Luke 2:7 It was all too much to bear. When my kids were little, they talked about what they wanted for Christmas for months. They made their list for Santa, wrote him letters, and even dropped it in the mailbox. As a mother, I would do anything to give them the perfect Christmas. I made sure they got everything they asked for, even if it meant starting early and taking money out of our paycheck each week to save for Christmas presents. But one year, my husband was planting a church, and finances were just too tight. I did my best to get the kids the presents that they wanted. But with all the wrapping, shopping, and a full-time job, while my husband was church planting, it added more stress to my life than I cared to admit. Although it was a magical moment to watch my kids open gifts on Christmas morning, the stress and irritation of all the preparation beforehand made it feel as if it simply wasn't worth it. I was putting all this stress on myself to write Christmas cards, decorate the house, and care for my children, in addition to working at a daycare where I cared for two- and three-year-olds all day long, only to come home to my own set of two- and three-year-olds. This would be enough to make anyone feel the extra weight of stress. Compelled by the idea of giving my kids the perfect Christmas, I stressed myself out, worrying about finances and spending all my extra time wrapping presents and writing cards. When Christmas Day came, I had created a holiday that would have made even Norman Rockwell jealous. But it was missing one thing: Jesus. Although my family and I attended Christmas Eve services, my kids lit candles, sang songs, and watched Christmas specials, it felt as if Jesus was missing from the holiday. Because it was so focused on the moment of opening gifts and getting my family what they wanted for Christmas, it felt as if I had wasted all my time and energy creating a magical moment that would only last a moment. Because of all the stress, I had laid aside my quiet time with the Lord, neglected to pray, and hadn't picked up my Bible in months. For a holiday that should be focused on the actual reason for this season, I had forgotten to make space for Christ. Maybe you can relate to the story above. All the Christmas wrapping, giving, and writing Christmas cards may seem too much to bear during the holiday season for you as well. Maybe buying gifts, long lines at the store, mounting traffic, and increasingly mean people seem like too much stress for you to bear, too. But it doesn't have to be this way. Mary experienced a similar situation. As she made the long travel, heavy in the throes of labor, I imagine she expected a comfortable room with which to give birth. But when she found out that there was no room at the inn, her expectations quickly shattered. But Mary didn't give in to the stress or leave God out of her situation. Instead, she made the best of what she had. She traveled to a nearby stable and, in less-than-ideal conditions, gave birth to our Savior, who, in turn, has given generations eternal life. Although Mary's situation was less than ideal, she still completed her ultimate purpose. The Christmas story can give us hope that, despite what we might be going through —financial struggles, health crises, loss of loved ones, etc.—we can find hope. While our situation for the holidays seems less than spectacular, we can make do with what God has given us. There's no better time than the Christmas season to give thanks for all that God has done. Minimize Christmas shopping this year. Opt to give gift cards rather than wrapping a bunch of presents. Limit the number of gifts you give to each person. Explain to them that finances are too tight this year, and the stress is just too much. Your stressful situation can quickly become less so with a bit of understanding and compassion from your family members. Ask family members to pitch in this year by giving food for the holiday meal, or skip hosting the traditional holiday meal and go out for dinner instead. Whatever you need to do to make the best of your holiday situation, take Mary's example and don't forget the ultimate purpose of why we celebrate Christmas. Father, let us be people who make space for you during the holiday season. Let us not crowd you out with copious amounts of gifts, wrapping, and decorating. Instead, let us remember the ultimate gift you have given us and live our lives knowing that we have already received the best gift of all. Amen.

Kim Ressler searched for answers to her chronic issues for years. Finally, a friend turned her on to the world of nutrigenomics. What if there was a way to genetically determine what kind of supplements would address your methylation pathways, your mental health and your ability to focus? During this year's Changing Life and Destiny conference in Dallas, Dr. Motley had a chance to sit down with Kim and learn how this works. Key Takeaways: Nutrigenomics bridges the gap between genetics and nutrition, allowing for personalized health strategies. Actionable genes can significantly influence our health and well-being, making genetic testing a vital tool. Customized supplements based on genetic insights can simplify health management and improve outcomes. Understanding our genetic makeup empowers us to make informed decisions about our health. There's even genetic information to find out how well you deal with hangovers as you get older.  Want more of the Ancient Health Podcast?
