We discuss parenting failures, repentance, repair, and the freedom that comes when we stop trying to be perfect parents and start trusting God's grace.Abbey and I talk honestly about how community shapes us as moms, why repair matters so much in relationships with our kids, and how God can use both our faithfulness and our failures in the lives of our children.Abbey Wedgeworth is an author, Bible teacher, and speaker who encourages moms with gospel-centered truth and practical hope for everyday motherhood.

Family caregivers know what it feels like to fall short. In this episode, Peter Rosenberger explores the difference between failure and faithfulness, why perfection is a burden no caregiver can carry, and why your attendance record matters more than your performance record. Peter also reflects on stewardship, productivity, and the responsibility of using what God has entrusted to us—right where we are. In a special Father's Day message, he shares the moving story behind the words, "Daddy's here," from Gracie's awakening after a devastating accident to comforting his own son through a painful childhood injury. Through these experiences, Peter points listeners to the greater assurance of God's presence when explanations fail and life doesn't make sense. Topics Covered: Perfectionism and caregiving Failure versus faithfulness The caregiver's attendance record Stewardship and productivity Father's Day reflections Finding comfort in God's presence Why presence often matters more than answers More resources for family caregivers at Caregiver.Substack.com

C.J. Stroud's last two seasons have created a tricky conversation for Texans fans. Are people making excuses for him, or are there legitimate explanations for why he hasn't consistently looked like the quarterback we saw during his rookie year? On this episode of Bleav in Texans, Seth Payne breaks down the biggest factors in the C.J. Stroud debate: the offensive line, receiver injuries, the transition from Bobby Slowik to Nick Caley, the lack of a consistent run game, Joe Mixon's absence, and how much the concussion may have affected Stroud late in the season. Some of those factors deserve real weight. Others may be getting used as cover for things Stroud needs to own and improve. Seth separates what's fair from what's too convenient — and why the 2026 season should tell us a lot about where Stroud really stands. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We show how explaining the why behind rules turns daily parenting into mentorship that builds emotional regulation, responsibility, and connection. • the period response that ends curiosity • the comma response that opens dialogue • embracing your child's “why” as a learning signal • how explanations build trust and emotional safety • shifting from correcting behavior to teaching values • simple scripts for chores, homework, emotions, and safety rules • why follow-up matters when you promise answers • preventing misinformation by staying the primary guide Visit me on Single Moms United Podcast.com or leave me some comments on YouTube as it relates to a question that your child brought to you and it kind of stomped you.https://singlemomsunitedpodcast.com/As Mom's we are more than nurturers we are Mentors to our children.

Send us a message.We open with a letter — Rilke's first letter to a young poet, written in 1903 — and the question at the center of it: must I write? Not do I want to, not is it going well, but must I. We talk about what it means to look outward for reassurance while making something, how that search for validation reshapes work before it's even finished, and what happens when you're writing toward an external voice instead of your own.That leads us into a broader conversation about photography as a practice of finding things rather than making them — and what that distinction reveals about why certain work holds and other work doesn't. We walk through what it means to stand in front of a print by Eggleston or Crewdson or Deana Lawson, what a body of work asks of the people presenting it, and what gets lost when criticism becomes a form of signaling rather than a genuine attempt to see. We end somewhere near solitude: the argument that if you've found the thing you need to do, everything else is secondary — and that's been true since at least 1903. -AiSupport the show If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

What happens when you discover that a book that fundamentally changed how you think is built on a shaky foundation? In today's episode, I share my own struggle with the replication crisis surrounding Daniel Kahneman's *Thinking Fast and Slow*, and I use it as a springboard to talk about a much bigger skill: knowing how to update your beliefs when reality shifts underneath you. This isn't about throwing out science or losing trust in your heroes. It's about developing the muscle to replace old explanations with better ones — a skill that has never been more important for software engineers. The Replication Crisis, Briefly Explained: Understand the difference between reproducing a study (re-running the analysis on the original data) and replicating one (recreating the study from the ground up), and why a surprisingly large portion of well-respected psychology research, including studies cited in Thinking Fast and Slow, doesn't hold up under scrutiny. Base Rates Matter: Kahneman didn't pick uniquely bad studies. If you randomly sampled from the broader academic literature, you'd hit the same failure rate. The lesson isn't about one author — it's about how we evaluate any body of knowledge. The Beginning of Infinity Framework: Drawing from David Deutsch's book, explore the idea that all progress is rooted in the assumption that we are fundamentally incorrect, and that improvement comes from continually building better explanations on top of incomplete ones. Beliefs as Calibration, Not Truth: Your beliefs about what makes a good engineer, what makes good code, or what makes a good career move are not eternal truths. They are calibrations to your current reality, and that reality is changing fast. The Ego Trap of Old Beliefs: Notice the very human, very subtle pull to defend things you previously argued for — not because they're still right, but because admitting otherwise creates a discontinuity with your former self. This is one of the biggest blockers to learning. Two Competing Explanations of AI Adoption: Walk through a worked example of holding two predictions about AI in tension and asking honestly which one better explains the reality you're seeing — at both a macro industry level and the micro level of debugging a system. Moving Goalposts Aren't a Conspiracy: A lot of what feels like shifting goalposts in our industry is just goalposts moving on their own. A big part of our job as engineers is figuring out where they are now and predicting where they're heading next. Episode Homework: Pick one belief you hold strongly about your work — about what makes a good engineer, about a tool, about a process. Try to deconstruct it into its parts and ask whether a better explanation exists for what you're actually seeing.

Howdy guys! This episode was originally supposed to be about “betrayal trauma” but I got derailed by some very cool research and just had to discuss my THEORY on what mirror neurons and theory of mind (ToM) are for when it comes to sleep and wellness. I will absolutely be covering betrayal trauma next week so stay tuned, also I just finished the book on the neural mechanisms of reading and dyslexia so the episode two weeks from now will be jam packed with information on how to accommodate dyslexic readers and hopefully that'll be helpful on y'alls reading and learning journey! Thank you so much for joining me on this journey - I do apologize if it wasn't easy to follow, I truly didn't plan this one out so I will use more accessible language in the following episodes. I really did enjoy making this episode though, sharing information gives me such joy and I'm wishing everyone a happy National Autism Acceptance Month!
