No SciCast dessa semana convidamos a Profa. Monique Sochaczewski para conversar sobre a história de um país construído sobre a negação do próprio passado (e do que acontece quando esse passado volta). Do colapso do Império Otomano e da tutela europeia do século XIX às reformas radicais de Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, que trocou o alfabeto, a lei, a capital e até a chamada à oração; dos golpes militares e da Guerra Fria à ascensão de Recep Tayyip Erdoğan e ao chamado neo-otomanismo, com suas pontes, suas séries e novelas de TV, sua diplomacia e a reconversão da Ayasofya. Entenda por que a Turquia é ao mesmo tempo membro da OTAN e candidata eterna à União Europeia, por que Brasília e Ancara mediaram juntas a crise nuclear iraniana, e por que o Império Otomano nunca deixou de ser um assunto de política externa. Kemalismo, laicidade, Diyanet, questão curda, Primavera Árabe, golpe de 2016, Ayasofya, neo-otomanismo e pan-turquismo. Patronato do SciCast: 1. Patreon SciCast 2. Apoia.se/Scicast 3.

Chris Rich has passed on talented recruits because of what he saw from their parents on the sideline. The UNC Greensboro head coach explains what else he's watching.In this episode of Chat By The Pitch, Chris opens up the college soccer recruiting process from the coach's side of the table. He took over UNCG men's soccer ten days before the 2019 season, used the COVID pause to rebuild the culture, and turned a program ranked in the 100s into a 2022 Elite Eight team that beat Stanford in PKs on the road.Ian and Chris get into the questions soccer parents actually ask: Is my kid good enough to play in college? How do players get seen when they aren't on the biggest showcase teams? How much does playing time really spread across a 28-man roster? Chris walks through how his staff evaluates recruits on the field, over FaceTime, and on visits, why his team's GPA climbed from a 2.7 to a 3.4, and why the word he leans on most is obsessive — obsessed with the process of development, not just the trophy.He's also honest about the hard parts: a 2023 season that came crashing down after losing eight pros, a transfer portal that's squeezing young players, and 9.9 scholarships stretched across a full roster.For soccer players, parents, and youth coaches mapping out the pathway from club soccer to college — and anyone who wants to know what a college coach is really looking for.Key Talking Points• From Tampa youth soccer and Barry University to assistant roles at FIU, Virginia Tech, UNC, and Duke — and learning as much from peers as from bosses• Hired ten days before the 2019 season: leading with culture, standards, and non-negotiables before a game model• How the COVID pause became a silver lining for recruiting, training, and building the program block by block• Transparency, accountability, and "I will always have your back" — the promise Chris makes to every recruit• Why "obsessive" is the most important word in the program, and how an elite mindset lifted the team GPA from 2.7 to 3.4• Staff-selected captains, a leadership committee from every class, and players policing the locker room• College soccer playing time explained: six substitution moments, 15 to 16 players per game, and the role of the closer off the bench• College soccer recruiting: why UNCG targets North Carolina, Texas, and Florida, plus the transfer portal and international players• What coaches watch beyond talent — reactions to mistakes and referees, the parents on the sideline, and the FaceTime call• Taking ownership of your pathway: ID camps, gap years, JUCO, and staying patient in the transfer portal eraQuotes from Chris Rich• "I was just a sponge. I was learning from everybody that I worked with."• "You can't just throw your game model on players that don't fit that."• "We're always gonna adapt, and we're always gonna try to thrive in the new situation. I'm never gonna be a complainer."• "The one thing I will always guarantee and always promise our players in the recruiting process, I will always have their back."• "Probably the most important word that I use all the time is obsessive."• "Everybody wants to lift the trophy. Everybody wants to win, but what is the process that gets us to that point?"• "I'm not gonna say, 'I'm gonna be a terrible father today, but I'm gonna be a good coach.' You're either gonna strive for greatness or you're not."• "There's been many good players I've identified that we didn't take because of mom and dad."• "Take ownership of your process. Instead of waiting on somebody to do something for you, go to the environment where coaches are."• "Sometimes you gotta take a gap year. Sometimes you gotta go to a JUCO for a year. And that's okay."Connect with Chris Rich

My husband Jim and I are very different.  He has done a lot of formal mentoring, and I tend to do more informal mentoring.  Over the years, I have taken the time to live life alongside so many different women.  Some older than me, some younger than me.  Since Jim and I are involved in marriage mentoring with Christian Entrepreneurial couples, I often spend time with the wives working life out with them.  You see, mentoring for me looks like phone calls, drop-in visits, shopping trips, and texting.  The women I pour my Jesus life into rarely have time to meet for coffee, but we can share coffee over the phone or Facetime just the same.  My mentoring often looks scattered and informal, but I am available when needed and recognize that just stepping out for a call is part of my discipleship ministry.  Who do you pour your Jesus Life into?

What really happens behind the highlight reels when a D1 libero enters the transfer portal and has three weeks to save her career?Episode SummaryCollege volleyball looks a lot different when you strip away the graphics, gear, and commitment posts. Hannah Langton walks through exactly what it took to go from grinding at VC United to earning MAC all-freshman honors at Central Michigan, then getting knocked sideways by a coaching change and jumping into the transfer portal with no guarantees.Adam and Hannah get into the real side of the process: the three-week pressure cooker of the portal, coaches who talk one way on the phone and act another way on game day, what it's like to not play after starting, and how she ended up at Colgate on a gut call. It's straight talk on recruiting, strength training, and doing hard things, the way Oak Performance Radio actually sounds in the roomYou'll Learn:Why loving the idea of college volleyball isn't enough and what it actually demands day-to-day.How a coaching change can completely flip your role, culture, and experience overnight.What the transfer portal really looks like for a libero, including the risk that nobody picks you up.The specific “hard questions” recruits should be asking coaches before committing.Why watching coaches during games matters more than what they say on recruiting calls.How to balance coaches vs. teammates when choosing a school and why both can make or break your experience.The difference between productive strength training and just lifting like a bodybuilder.How to use summers to actually get more athletic instead of just playing more tournaments.The right role for parents in recruiting: support, logistics, and honest feedback without running the process.Why ownership, no-excuses mentality, and doing hard things on purpose separate successful college athletes from everyone else.Episode Chapters00:00 Intro & Hannah's path from VC United to D103:42 Central Michigan, MAC honors, and culture that worked08:15 Coaching change, conflict, and losing her role12:40 Deciding to enter the transfer portal as a libero18:05 Three-week scramble, no calls, and portal reality check22:48 Finding Colgate, gut feel, and choosing the right staff28:10 Teammate fit, FaceTime calls, and building new relationships33:20 Parents' role, spreadsheets, and athlete ownership38:05 Strength training, summer work, and doing hard things44:30 Advice to recruits, parents, and club coaches; closing thoughtsMemorable Quotes“If you don't absolutely love what you're doing, don't play college, because it's going to test you.”“When you enter the portal, there's a chance you won't play college volleyball again—and you have to be okay looking that in the eye.”“Don't blame the coaches.

Thomas Hudson alleged in custody filings that his ex-wife Shauntel took their children on the Carnival Horizon without his consent. He alleged she was responsible for their supervision and that the living arrangements were inappropriate. Shauntel testified under oath that the three teenagers chose to share a cabin — she called them “like the Three Amigos.” She also confirmed Timothy was on ADHD and insomnia medication and hadn't taken the insomnia meds for two nights on the cruise, including the night before Anna Kepner's body was found.That same woman just filed a child support petition against Thomas. She says he owes her back payments and that the court should order him to pay more going forward. Timothy has been locked up since mid-June, facing first-degree murder charges as an adult in his stepsister's death. The trial date is November 2. A plea agreement must happen by October 23 or it goes to a jury.The original support order covered three kids at $2,129 a month. One aged out. Timothy went to federal detention. The number is now $1,092 for a single child. Timothy hasn't lived under Shauntel's roof in nearly a year. Thomas had already gone to court before the cruise, accusing Shauntel of keeping the kids from him. His lawyer asked for 140 days of make-up custody exchanges — that's how many Shauntel had allegedly blocked.Anna's ex-boyfriend stated publicly that the stepbrother had climbed on top of Anna during a FaceTime call. Timothy's own step-grandmother called the cabin arrangement “a recipe for disaster.” The person demanding more child support is the same person whose decisions allegedly put those kids in that cabin.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

We're more connected than ever. So why are we so alone?Thousands of followers. Hundreds of notifications. Smartphones, social media, FaceTime, dating apps, group chats—and instant access to people around the world.But connectivity isn't necessarily connection.In “An Isolated Society,” Eric J. Broadus examines what may be happening to human relationships in the digital age.From social media and smartphones to algorithms and artificial intelligence, this episode asks whether technology is strengthening human relationships—or quietly replacing pieces of them.And the conversation goes one step further:What happens when AI can remember years of conversations, understand your personality, know when you're struggling, and remain available 24 hours a day?Could an AI eventually become someone's genuine companion?Could human connection itself become more valuable because it becomes less common?This isn't about rejecting technology. It's about deciding what role we want technology to play in our lives before that decision is made for us.Listen and consider the question:Has technology made your life more connected—or more isolated?

Today's poem is Parts of a Body House by Erika Meitner. This episode was originally released on September 23, 2025. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “It struck me recently how much technology has changed our relationships with our bodies. There are devices that tell us how well (or poorly) we slept the night before, how many steps we took in a given day, what our heart rate is when we work out. We have access to more data about our physical selves than ever, and we don't even need to go to the doctor to get that data. We also have access to our own image more than ever before. I know that technology has made me more aware of my body and my face, because I see myself so often: on Zoom, on Facetime, in selfies.” This show is supported by gifts from listeners.

We're back from Europe, and somehow we came home with more than great food, unforgettable stories, and a ridiculous amount of sweat. In this episode, we recap our eight-day Naughty Gym/Aya Society trip outside Barcelona with 29 friends, including connection circles, skinny dipping at a 500-year-old villa, late nights in the Gothic Quarter, an unforgettable drag show in Sitges, April watching her grandson being born over FaceTime while standing outside Sagrada Família, and a few lessons about what happens when Scott attempts to navigate European public transportation. Then we head to Rome, where a bucket-list trip became far more emotional than either of us expected. But somewhere between the Vatican, ancient ruins, wine, and long dinners, we also uncovered something much bigger: a misunderstanding that had quietly been affecting our relationship for nearly two years. It started with something Scott once said publicly: “When I'm sitting in front of someone, I'm trying to fall deeply in love with them.” Scott thought he was describing presence, curiosity, and allowing himself to connect deeply with another human being. April heard something very different, and instead of telling him how frightening that idea felt, she spent two years trying to make herself become okay with it. That realization turned into a conversation about one of the central pillars of *Wild Love Theory*: transparency. What happens when one person isn't precise about what they mean and the other person isn't honest about what they feel? When does “doing the work” become forcing yourself to tolerate something your body keeps rejecting? And how can our partners truly know us if we're showing them the person we think we're supposed to be instead of the person we actually are? Apparently even the people who wrote the book can mess this stuff up. Plus, we talk about what we learned from Barcelona, why future Aya Society trips may look a little different, our upcoming events, and the release of Wild Love Theory.Want more of our deeper conversations?

Summer was supposed to be about freedom and youth and no school and possibilities and adventure and exploration. Summer was a book of hope. That's why I loved and hated summers.

In Luke 9:51, Jesus steadfastly set His face toward Jerusalem, fully aware of what awaited Him. His resolve was not rooted in ignoring the difficulty but in fixing His eyes on the destination. When the Samaritans rejected Him, His disciples wanted to call down fire in retaliation, but Jesus rebuked them and simply moved on to the next village. Rejection does not end the mission. It redirects it. We are called to respond to opposition with grace and perseverance, not frustration or force. The more time we spend with Jesus in prayer, the more our character begins to reflect His. Like Jesus, we are invited to set our faces toward something greater than this world and keep moving forward in love.

The girls are back, and this week's episode is a perfect little haunted-theater, true-crime anxiety spiral. Cute? No. Creepy? Extremely. First, Monique tells the story of British comedian Jason Manford, who got cast in the West End revival of Sweeney Todd at London's historic Adelphi Theatre. Every night after getting his throat slashed onstage, Jason would clean off the fake blood and FaceTime his wife and twin daughters before bed. How sweet. Until his three-year-old daughter asked, “Daddy, who's that man behind you?” A tall man with dark hair, a mustache, and a soldier's uniform: a description that matched William Terriss, the beloved Victorian actor who was stabbed to death at the Adelphi stage door in 1897 while wearing a Union Army captain's costume. The theatre ghosts really said: yes, and? Then Amy brings us into the 1977 death of Charles “Chuck” Morgan, a Tucson escrow company president whose case is so suspicious it feels personally insulting that anyone tried to rule it as a suicide. Chuck disappeared, came home three days later missing a shoe, bound in plastic handcuffs, unable to speak and writing that he had been kidnapped and tortured. He hinted at a secret government identity, got paranoid (naturally), wore a bulletproof vest, carried a gun and told his family he had written a letter naming who was responsible if anything happened to him. Then he disappeared again. Nine days later, a mystery woman called “Green Eyes” phoned his wife with an ominous Bible passage and soon after, Chuck was found in the desert wearing his bulletproof vest, shot in the back of the head, with a $2 bill pinned to his underwear and absolutely no reasonable explanation. Police ruled it suicide. Monique and Amy, correctly, said: no, girl, no. If you take anything away from this episode, let it be this: when a three-year-old sees a crying soldier behind you, maybe believe the fucking child.

Send us Fan MailA kid shows up to school in a skirt and the adult world loses its mind. We start with the real question behind the headline: are we protecting children's freedom to express themselves, or are we enforcing comfort and tradition and calling it “appropriate”? We debate parenting, uniforms, bullying, and the way school rules often become a stand-in for bigger fears about gender roles and social pressure. Then the conversation takes a wild but revealing turn into “games” that aren't really games, like knocking someone's food out of their hands and calling it a joke. It's funny until it isn't, and that's exactly the point. Respect, consequences, and community norms all collide, and it sets us up for the main theme: boundaries. Not the trendy “protect your peace” soundbite, but real boundaries you can name, communicate, and enforce without turning into the villain. We break boundaries down in plain language: physical boundaries (don't touch me, don't show up unannounced), emotional boundaries (stop dumping your chaos on me like I'm your free therapist), and time boundaries (no, I'm not available just because I'm home, and no, I'm not sitting on FaceTime staring at your ceiling). We also clear up a big misconception: a boundary isn't a rule to control someone else, it's a decision about what we will do when a line gets crossed. If you've ever felt guilty for saying no, this one's for you. Subscribe for more conversations like this, share the episode with a friend who needs stronger boundaries, and leave a review with the one boundary you're finally done negotiating.Support the showFollow us on social media www.instagram.com/noadvisorypodcast

Some of the people we've lost are still alive. There was no argument, betrayal or final goodbye. No one decided that the relationship no longer mattered. Life simply carried people in different directions until someone who had once been part of every ordinary day became someone remembered mostly through memories.The relationship did not necessarily end. It just stopped being current because the person is no longer in close enough range to share the details of daily life.The first cut is the deepestWe've all had the painful experience of a friend moving away. It's most painful when it happens as a kid. You lived in the same neighborhood, attended the same school and participated in the same sports, clubs and activities. You saw one another in classrooms, hallways, cafeterias, driveways and backyards. Some kids spent nearly every day together from elementary through high school.Your lives become intertwined through countless ordinary moments. You know who has a crush on whom, whose parents are arguing, who was embarrassed in class and who is worried about an upcoming test. You exchanged looks that required no explanation. You shared jokes no one else understood. And then suddenly all of that is over. You graduate, and almost immediately, people who had been inseparable disperse. One goes away to college. Another begins working. Someone joins the military. Another gets married. Some move away. New lives form around new circumstances and new people and the next thing you know, you're hoping you'll recognize them at the school reunion.No one broke up with anyone. No one stopped caring. The people you shared nearly every day with became part of each other's history instead of the present.You promised to stay in touch, and for a while you did. You sent letters, notes and cards. You call, text and exchange photographs occasionally. FaceTime and Zoom give us a fighting chance of remaining connected across the chasm of separation, but technology cannot fully replace proximity.The moments most likely to disappear are not the major ones. We usually tell old friends about the engagement, the new job, the birth of a baby, or the diagnosis. What gets lost are the little details that rarely seem important enough to warrant a phone call—the insensitive comment someone made, the person who cut in front of us at the grocery store, the funny thing the dog did or the little ache we plan to ask the doctor about next week.Those details are usually shared with whoever happens to be within range. They are exchanged between neighbors grabbing the mail, students passing in the hallway, co-workers in the lunch room, carpoolers while driving home, or while waiting for their kids to get out of school.Scheduled conversations are the highlight reel. Proximity provides the raw footage.Over time, the people nearby begin to know the current version of us. They recognize the subtle change in our voice when something is wrong. They know about the situation at work that troubles us, and they can easily drop in to toast minor victories. Meanwhile, the people who once knew us best may know only the larger developments and the person we used to be.It is not that they no longer like us. They are simply sharing life with other people. When we finally see one another again, we pick up right where we left off. The affection is still there. The laughter comes easily, and the old stories are funny. But it is not quite the same. Much of our time is spent reminiscing because the past is still the place we share. We may know very little about the ordinary rhythms of one another's current lives.Sometimes people become emotionally out of range while still physically presentThis is the spouse who accepts a job requiring constant travel or who is working 18-hour days. That person is gone for weeks on end or is home but leaves before dawn, returns home exhausted and collapses into bed only to do it again the next day. The couple may still love one another, but they are no longer sharing enough of life to remain emotionally close.Meanwhile, the working spouse spends nearly every waking hour with co-workers. They solve problems together, share meals, endure disappointments, celebrate successes and exchange all the little details that create familiarity. Gradually, the co-workers can begin to feel more like family than the family members left at home.This does not excuse infidelity. Betrayal remains a choice, and people are responsible for the boundaries they keep or violate. But if we want to protect relationships, we have to understand how being in range creates vulnerability.Emotional intimacy rarely disappears all at once. It migrates one small disclosure at a time. Someone else becomes the first person we tell, the person whose opinion we seek and the person who understands the context without needing an explanation. By the time the couple realize what's happened, the relationship may already be running on autopilot.The warning signsThe warning signs of friends or family drifting are usually subtle. Plans are talked about, but never acted on. Conversations become limited to the superficial, logistics related to plans and obligations, and major announcements. It's not that we don't want the other person to know what's going on in our lives. It's that we stop sharing the small things because explaining all the background is not worth the time and energy it takes. Eventually, we realize that someone we once were close to has become someone we connect with only on birthdays or holidays.But that doesn't mean that we cannot make long distance relationships work by intentionally staying in range emotionally.Making long distance relationships workMy dear high school friend Janet moved 3,000 miles away. My heart hurt. It felt as though she had taken a chunk of it with her.I had drifted away from other high school friends because we had gone different directions and were living vastly different lives, but I couldn't stand the thought of that happening with Janet. If I wanted Janet to remain part of my life, we would have to be intentional about emotionally connecting.So I visited as often as I could. She came home every Christmas. Despite her big family wanting to spend time with her, she always carved out time for us to catch up. We scheduled trips together—not nearly as frequently as I would have liked, but I treasured every one of them. We made room for one another despite the miles, responsibilities and new friends we both had.Our time together became even more precious when Janet was diagnosed with cancer. We made a concerted effort to talk every day. Eventually, I lost her, but I will always have the memories we deliberately created because we chose to stay emotionally in range from the age of 14 to 54, when she left this life.As we grow, our relationships changeWe cannot keep every relationship exactly as it once was. If we're growing and self-actualizing, we can't keep any relationship exactly as it was, nor should we want to. Some people drift apart because they've grown in different areas. Or one person grows while the other does not. Or they have separated themself into groups that exclude others, as in politics, beliefs, values, socio-economic status, or any of the other ways that humans choose to become part of an “us versus them” mentality. Still, it doesn't mean that anyone is to blame. A person can have been an important part of our story without being present in every chapter. In those cases, we can be grateful for what the relationship gave us.Extraordinary relationships are too precious to passively surrender.If you are determined to stay emotionally in range regardless of other differences, share the ordinary details, not only the major news. Schedule the visit and make it happen. Create rituals—a weekly phone call, an annual weekend or regular voice messages exchanged during the week. Ask questions about the person's present instead of talking only about your shared past.Accept that the person you love will have new friends who are within range. Those relationships are not replacements. They are part of that person's current life. I learned this at Janet's funeral. I saw her co-workers, her neighbors, the couples in her Gourmet Club. These are people she had told me about. They weren't a threat to me, just as I was not a threat to them. There is no need to compete. Loving others requires us to make room for change while protecting and cherishing the relationship.To have the healthiest connections, we must make time for the people closest to us. Let's not be too distracted, busy or exhausted to remain within emotional range. Being too busy or tired is the way we allow ourselves to fall out of emotional range regardless of our physical proximity. Let's be the one who hears the small details of our loved one's lives. Let's be the first one they want to call when they want to share something funny, painful or exciting. Proximity matters. It creates myriad opportunities for connection that distance can never completely reproduce. But heart connections built around the things that matter most can endure.Some people are meant to walk with us for only part of the journey. Others are worth rearranging our lives to keep.The important thing is to recognize the difference before someone we cannot imagine living without becomes a painful regret.Purposeful PracticeMake a list of the people you've lost touch with, and make an effort to reconnect. Make a phone call, send a text, pick up your phone and record a quick video saying, “Hi, I'd love to catch up with you sometime.” Make a list of the people in your life who you've been too busy or tired to connect with recently. Make a date, give a card, write a note, pick up flowers, or plan a vacation to let that person know that they are a priority in your life. This is a public episode.

This is the 100th episode of The Liberated Life. A hundred conversations about freeing yourself from what quietly drains you — and this one is about the thing underneath all of them: closing what needs an ending. One morning I went live, said what I came to say — and then couldn't find the button to end it. The control was hidden behind something else on the screen. So I did what capable, overwhelmed people do with the things they can't figure out how to close: I shut the laptop and hoped it had ended itself in the background. It didn't. It kept running. Still live, still draining — even after I looked away. That hidden button has a name. It's an open loop: a conversation, a promise, a decision, or a commitment that needed an ending and didn't get one. In this episode, I walk through what Open Loops are, why they cost you far more than their size, and how to close one. In this episode: • Why the things we walk away from keep running in the background • What an Open Loop actually is — and why a five-minute task can take up five days of your head • The four types: task, decision, relational (the "Unspoken Broken"), and self • How Open Loops get created (a late-night FaceTime from Australia taught me mine) • CLOSE — a simple way to close a loop on purpose: Capture, Locate, Observe, Speak, End/Evolve/Honor • PEACE — how to have the conversation when the loop is between you and someone else You don't have to overhaul your life. Pick your loudest Open Loop. Close it. That's where your energy comes back. Free tools at closetheloopsnow.com — a short quiz on how you communicate under pressure, the Close One Loop walkthrough, and the Difficult Conversation Simulator (try.pplskillz.com) to practice the conversation before you have it. From Robin Quinn Keehn, author of Stop Stealing From Yourself. If this resonated, there's probably an open loop of your own worth closing. My free Close the Loop tool walks you through it in about 15 minutes — a gentle place to start.

Psalm 33:18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear him,on those who hope in his steadfast love,In this episode, we will look at the lovely, little word, “hope” — specifically, what it means to hope in His steadfast love. I wasn't feeling well when I spent time on these thoughts and verses. Though I didn't feel very hopeful, I still knew I wasn't without hope. Maybe you can relate?I will share some of the ways my hope was fanned into flame, maybe a flicker. It had to do with prayer, FaceTime, Scripture and a new, little song that I will play for you at the end of the episode. The song is called, "Every Morning," and the words are:Lamentations 3:22-23 (ESV)The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;his mercies never come to an end;they are new every morning;great is your faithfulness.If you would like to support this podcast with a monthly or one-time gift, thank you!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.sherriyoungward.com/support⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To find out about upcoming gatherings and new projects, please join my email list at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.sherriyoungward.com

Long-distance love can be exciting, romantic and even a little addictive…but eventually, somebody has to ask: Where is this actually going?Amy Watts is back for Part 2 of our very honest conversation about long-distance relationships—and this time, we're getting into what happens after the excitement wears off and real life starts creeping in.Are you both making the same effort? Should you ever put your life on hold for someone? Are red flags easier to hide when you live hundreds—or thousands—of miles apart? And how do you know you're actually compatible when most of your time together feels like a mini vacation?We also get into one of the unexpected perks of long distance: the anticipation.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Monday from Vancouver!! (Let us know if we should pick this studio up and drop it in Austin, because we are officially feeling like we need a remodel..) Ok guys, it's back to school time, so we're taking a sec to ask YOU: how are you feeling?? We can feel the energy shift. We don't know what this season is like as parents yet, but we can absolutely remember shopping for a new pair of True Religions and heading to the bookstore for school supplies. WOW, nostalgia. So the episode… travel is on the mind (we know, SORRY, we talk about flights more than your average pod.. but hopefully something in there is helpful!) The 24-hour cancellation window is NOT always 24 hours, and we make the official case for the back row of the plane with kids (still not as elite as the bulkhead).  Then a lot of random fun stuff: sponsored sorority recruitment (get your bag, girls!!), the "big light" debate (are you a big light house or a lamp house?!), signing up for fall activities, and Bluey is apparently PERFECT for dogs.. Jules tried it on her Ginny during a Dallas trip and has a full report. Plus Tate is officially getting into fashion

This week, we're getting into two dilemmas that had us questioning EVERYTHING.First up, a listener finds herself third-wheeling HARD when her married best friend brings her along… only to spend the whole time completely wrapped up in her man. Are there rules to bringing your single friends around your partner, or does she just need to accept the third-wheel life?

Festive Friday is back with an action-packed holiday thriller! ABOUT DASHING THROUGH THE SNOW A US Marshal gets stuck on Christmas Eve protecting a pregnant fugitive from a bounty hunter and a hitman Santa with his henchmen of elves. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR DASHING THROUGH THE SNOW November 13, 2025 | Streaming CAST & CREW OF DASHING THROUGH THE SNOW Director: Prince Bagdasarian Writer: Stephen Chrabaszcz Cast: Gillian White as Mary Newton Scottie Thompson as Joanna Johnston David Koechner as Frankie The Slay Bell Isaiah Washington as Deputy Director Winters BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS The movie kicks off with a Santa and his elves (in costumes, of course) getting ready to snipe a woman from a long ways away. 12 hours earlier, we're gonna find out how we got in this pickle! We meet Mary. She's pregnant and single and spending Christmas in the woods. We then meet Jo, who is a US Marshal. Well, she was a US Marshal. She ends up getting fired. But also maybe she's not fired? She is going to find the wife of this fugitive that they just captured. Well, they didn't capture him. A bounty hunter did. But that's neither here nor there. So Jo gets to Mary's place and Mary is PUMPED to see her because she thinks she's her midwife. Mary realizes that she's not a midwife and Jo tells her who she is. She tries to make a run for it but when she gets outside, the bounty hunters are there. To make matters worse, Mary's husband hired hitmen to kill her. So Mary & Jo have to work together. They're able to fend off the bounty hunters and the hitmen for a while. The bounty hunter offered Jo $100k to help them but she can't be bought! Unfortunately for her, her partner can. Turns out, he's been working with the bounty hunters for a while - giving them tips and what not. It all comes out when Jo is on a FaceTime call with her doctor brother who is helping her walk through how to check how far along in labor Mary is. Now her partner is holding her family hostage as the bounty hunter comes in and shoots Jo and takes Mary. She tracks them down at the nearby airport and calls her boss for backup. Unfortunately, Mary goes into labor and Jo helps deliver the baby. The ex-husband's new boo thang is actually the one who put the hit out, so she ends up taking the baby but it's a fake baby and the plane ends up crashing. Everyone else is safe, YAY! The movie ends with the original Santa hitman opening his eye. HE'S ALIVE! Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

There's a reflex that shows up in case after case, and the Anna Kepner story may be its clearest example yet. A warning about a teenager arrives, and the adults reach for the innocent explanation. Obsession gets called a crush. A knife gets called a hobby. The innocent explanation requires doing nothing, and nothing gets done.Consider what witnesses say was already known before Anna, an eighteen-year-old Florida senior, boarded the Carnival Horizon with her blended family in November 2025. A named adult says he described her fear to national media. Her ex-boyfriend says an incident he personally witnessed over FaceTime reached her parents directly. Anna herself reportedly resisted the trip. Days later she was dead in the cabin she'd been assigned to share with her stepbrother, Timothy Hudson, who has pleaded not guilty to federal charges and remains presumed innocent.On this episode of Hidden Killers, the starting point is a court filing: prosecutors delivering Anna's full Snapchat extraction, FBI reports, and grand jury materials into the hands of Hudson's defense, under seal. Her final message, timestamped 8:14 p.m., became the anchor of the government's timeline and a piece of discovery in the case against the boy accused of taking her life.From there, this becomes an argument about accountability that true crime coverage usually avoids. A federal judge found language for what the household wouldn't act on. The family found clarity about danger only after Anna died. And "we didn't see it coming" keeps working as a shield. The case for retiring that shield starts with what happened to this one girl who told people she was afraid.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Have you ever felt like the system is writing the ending of your grandchild's story before they've even found their voice? Are your grandchildren weighed down by labels—traumatized, behind, abnormal—while you're expected to manage their pain and follow rigid rules? If you've ever felt powerless to change the narrative or wished you could help your grandchild reclaim their identity from the case files, this episode is for you.I'm Laura Brazan, and after my own family was reshaped by adversity, I discovered that healing doesn't come from fixing every problem—it comes from helping children find their voice. When today's guest, Kate Markland, was granted just one hour a week on FaceTime with her son by the courts, she chose not to fill it with grief, but with a question: “Do you want to be the hero of your own story?” What followed was more than a bestselling book; it was a masterclass in how grandparents and kinship caregivers can become the scribes of their grandchildren's triumphs.On ‘Grandparents Raising Grandchildren: Nurturing Through Adversity,' we delve deep into the realities of kinship care—navigating the legal, financial, and emotional challenges, but also recognizing the hidden power you have as a caregiver. This episode unpacks therapeutic storytelling, a simple but profound way to move children from trauma to creativity. Through asking questions like “tell me more,” you can help your grandchild move from fear to self-expression, turning moments of heartbreak at the kitchen table into stories of courage and hope.Join us as we explore how to listen, clarify, and capture your grandchild's words—without correction, without judgment—and help them take back the pen. Together, we'll nurture resilience and rewrite futures, one story at a time.Send us Fan MailWhen we look at the child welfare system today, it's clear that the framework we've inherited is completely outdated. We keep trying to "fix" programs, but what if the problem isn't just funding or execution? What if the problem is how we frame the issues in the first place?Ali Caliendo, founder of the Kinship Policy Lab, reminded us that the questions we ask determine the policies we write, the data we collect, and the outcomes we pursue. Jill Bryant has spent years researching the deep complexities of counseling and the lived reality of kinship care as a professor and a grandparent raising a grandchild. Her work, focusing on the complete subjective well-being of kinship caregivers. Taking this 10-minute survey gives our advocates the timely, real-world data they need to fight for the funding and structural support your family deserves right now.  In this special pre-roll segment, I'm sharing a moving letter from a member of our community, Laurel. Her story of loss, resilience, and raising her grandson after the unthinkable is a raw reminder that none of us are walking this path alone.We want to hear from you.

"The dumbest thing you can be is a know-it-all."Curiosity isn't about having all the answers—it's about asking better questions. Journalist and podcast host Nayeema Raza believes the strongest communicators balance confidence with openness, using curiosity to better understand people, ideas, and the world around them. In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Raza joins Matt Abrahams to explore how to make complex ideas accessible, ask questions that spark meaningful conversations, and communicate with both confidence and humility. From writing punchier questions to embracing uncertainty, she shares practical strategies for becoming a more thoughtful and engaging communicator.Key Takeaways:Confidence grows through curiosity. The strongest communicators stay open to new ideas, ask thoughtful questions, and leave room to learn rather than assuming they have all the answers.Simple questions create meaningful conversations. Clear, concise questions—and a focus on what matters most—help make complex ideas more accessible and engaging.Activity:Write better questions. Take an upcoming meeting, interview, or one-on-one and rewrite three of your questions so each is nine words or fewer. Focus on making them clear, direct, and curiosity-driven.Episode Reference Links:Nayeema RazaNayeema's Ted TalkSmart Girl, Dumb QuestionsConnect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedIn Chapters:(00:00) - Introduction (00:57) - Simplifying Complexity (02:11) - Better Questions (06:03) - Confidence vs. Certainty (07:24) - Interview Nerves (10:14) - Prepare to Improvise (11:02) - Going Independent (13:59) - Curiosity in the Digital Age (16:59) - Staying Relevant (21:01) - The Final Three Questions (25:57) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Unleash your Superhuman potential with AI that meets you where you work.

What does being an empath actually feel like in real life - before you regulate, process it, and turn it into a lesson? Welcome to the first podcast edition of Unfiltered Empath, a new series within Your Yes Filled Life where Brenda takes you behind the scenes of what it actually feels like to BE an empath. This first episode wasn't planned. After Brenda's Uncle Curt died, she noticed something happening in her body every time she connected with her cousins. She was grieving, too - but these tears felt different. In this deeply personal episode, Brenda shares the experience in real time: the FaceTime call that allowed her to say goodbye to her uncle, the physical differences she notices between her own grief and what she experiences empathically in connection with others, and why knowing herself well enough to recognize the difference allowed her to stay connected instead of isolating. Brenda explores: What grief can feel like in an empathic body Why feeling with someone is different from becoming responsible for their feelings The difference Brenda notices between her own tears and empathic tears Why empaths may isolate when they're afraid of making other people carry their emotions What Brenda means by being emotionally “clean” The importance of examining the motive underneath connection Why being “the strong one” or emotional regulator of the room isn't always helpful Tears, laughter, movement, dance, and other physical outlets Brenda uses Why emotional hygiene creates more freedom—not less—to feel deeply What you can expect from the new Unfiltered Empath series This isn't a how-to episode. There's no five-step process. And there's no tidy ending. It's an invitation to notice: What does being an empath actually feel like in YOUR body?

This week we're joined by Tim Tebow and Kirk Cousins, two of the most recognizable quarterbacks in the game who have both spent years on the same fight. We talk about World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, which is this week — Tebow on what opened his eyes to the scale of it, Cousins on how his faith turned into two decades of advocacy.In RELEVANT Buzz, new research from the Billy Graham Center Research Institute found that 48% of Gen Z adults say Christians' support of Trump has made them less likely to go to church. In RELEVANT Recommends we spotlight Grace Runkle, who is about as inspired by Elevation Worship as she is by Japanese House.In Slices, the White House asked Dr. Phil to review the UFO files and gauge how the public would take the news, and he came away infuriated. And a woman in New York is suing McDonald's over fries that were too hot, which is either a legitimate grievance or the end of hot food as we know it.Then it's your worst Christian breakup lines. Brother in Christ. Personal Eve. Unequal yokes. Then a quick round of "One Has to Go" gets into golden retrievers, communion bread and Sunday naps. Then it's this week's Question of the Week: what's your go-to struggle meal? Drop your answer in the comments or @ us, we're reading them on next week's episode.Highlights:00:00 — Intro / episode rundown02:40 — Black people love hibachi and Jesse's ban from the Mongolian barbecue buffet08:46 — RELEVANT Buzz: World Day Against Trafficking in Persons with Tim Tebow11:50 — Kirk Cousins on faith and advocacy14:05 — Cameras off, FaceTime etiquette and the unk defense17:48 — Cookout has the worst menu in fast food21:21 — RELEVANT Buzz: 48% of Gen Z avoids church because of Christian support for Trump24:50 — RELEVANT Recommends: Grace Runkle26:57 — Slices: Dr. Phil, the UFO files and soft disclosure38:33 — The McDonald's hot fries lawsuit41:45 — Your Feedback: Worst Christian breakup lines45:50 — "One Has to Go"49:34 — Question of the Week: What's your go-to struggle meal?52:55 — OutroAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
