Podcasts about Familiarity

I'm addressing why we're seeing such an unprecedented uptick in people being exposed in the church. I fully believe many Christians in America have become overly familiar with God, which has bred contempt for God.CHECK OUT MIGHTY OAKS HERE:https://www.mightyoaksprograms.org/Get RESTORE and The Bearded TruthMerch in my Teespring Store: https://bit.ly/restore-merch TRIVITA:Use my TRIVITA link to get started on your wellness journey: https://bit.ly/restored-healthOR CALL: 800-991-7116 and use giftcard number: RSCBSQRJ  PIN: 5398Covenant Eyes:If you want to protect yourself and your loved ones from the dangers of porn, getCovenant Eyes: https://bit.ly/Restore-CovenantUSE CODE RESTORE30 at checkout to get your first 30 days FREE when you use the link

Episode 367: Pharmacology 101: PARP Inhibitors “We know that in cells that are proliferating very quickly, including cancer cells, single-strand DNA breaks are very common. When that happens, these breaks are often repaired by the PARP enzyme, and the cells can continue their replication process. If we block PARP, that repair cannot happen. So in blocking that, these single-strand breaks then lead to double-strand breaks, which ultimately is leading to cell apoptosis,” Danielle Roman, PharmD, BCOP, manager of clinical pharmacy services at the Allegheny Health Network Cancer Institute in Pittsburgh, PA, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about the PARP inhibitor drug class.

It is one of those targeted therapies that does affect blood cell counts. So I'd say the blood cell count that is most commonly affected here is the hemoglobin. So, anemia very frequent complication that we see, probably a little bit more with olaparib compared with other drugs, but we see it as a class side effect. And we can also see neutropenia and thrombocytopenia with these agents, probably a little bit more with niraparib versus the others, but again, you can see it across all of these drugs.” TS 8:16 “We mentioned that rare risk of MDS and AML. This isn't a particularly scary thing if you talk to patients about it. Because of the rarity that we see this, it isn't something that we need to overemphasize, but I think careful monitoring of blood counts in is stressing the importance of that and early intervention here is very important.” TS 16:55 “This is a collaborative effort. And because of the home administration here, these patients do need to be followed very closely. So we are not laying eyes on them usually with the frequency that we do when we have patients actually coming into our infusion centers for treatments—so making sure that there is a plan for regular follow-up with these patients to ensure that they're getting that lab work done, that that's being looked at closely, that we're adjusting the dose if we need to based on that lab work, that we are managing the patient's fatigue. Again, that potentially dose reductions may be needed if patients are having that extreme fatigue.” TS 19:34 “I think one of those [misconceptions] could be that they're only effective in patients that have that BRCA1/2 mutation. And again, remember here that there is some data in particular disease states that we can use them and that they work in the absence of those mutations.” TS 25:12

There's something magical about stepping into the unknown, suitcase in hand and curiosity leading the way. But ask yourself this the next time you pack your bags: Are you a traveler… or a vacationer?Traveling and vacationing aren't the same, so which one is you?It's not about right or wrong. It's about why you go and how you go.The Vacationer: Comfort, Convenience and Checked BoxesVacationers crave rest—and who can blame them? They've earned that all-inclusive escape. Their plans are polished: the resort booked, excursions mapped out, every detail wrapped in a tidy bow. They're here to relax, recharge, and maybe grab a few Instagram-worthy shots while following the path most traveled. Or maybe the vacation is a mission to do as much as possible according to plan.Either way, there's a certain ease in that kind of trip. Predictability. Familiarity. But there's also something… missing. That spark of discovery. That thrill of being surprised by a place. That connection to culture and community that doesn't always fit inside a brochure.The Traveler: Curious, Open and Eager to DiscoverTravelers take the road less photographed. They don't just want to see a place—they want to feel it. They linger in local cafés, talk to strangers, or take a wrong turn down an alleyway in an old European town just to see what's there. They don't mind the imperfect hotel room or the language barrier. In fact, they welcome it. Traveler's are often lost by design, because it means they're doing it right.To the traveler, every destination is a chance to grow. Every moment is part of a bigger story. And sometimes, the best adventures begin when the plan goes out the window.So… Which Are You?Take the quiz and find out.Do you stick to the itinerary—or stray from the script?Do you leave with a suntan—or a story?Do you chase rest—or revelation?The following 10 questions will tell your travel story.The 1923 Main Street Traveler or Vacationer QuizAnswer YES or NO to the following 10 questions. Keep track of your yes answers.Do you prefer planning the bare minimum so you can explore freely?Have you ever skipped a famous tourist site in favor of a local recommendation?Do you enjoy getting a little lost in a new city or wandering without a set agenda?Would you rather eat at a hidden neighborhood café than a popular chain?Do you love learning local customs or picking up a few words of the language?Have you ever changed your plans mid-trip just because something interesting came up?Do you travel to connect with people and culture—not just to unwind?Would you trade a five-star resort for a locally run guesthouse with character?Are you okay with a bit of discomfort if it means having a more authentic experience?Do you feel most alive when you're somewhere unfamiliar?Your Results:0–3 YES Answers: You're more of a Vacationer—and there's nothing wrong with that! You travel to relax, recharge, and take in the sights with comfort and ease. Just don't forget to occasionally stray from the itinerary… magic often lives outside the guidebook.4–7 YES Answers: You're a Hybrid Explorer. You like a balance: a comfy bed and a structured plan, but with room for curiosity. You're open to adventure, especially when it fits into the day's schedule. A little more freedom and spontaneity could turn your trip into a deeper story.8–10 YES Answers: You're a True Traveler. You live for the moments that can't be booked in advance. You seek connection over convenience and discovery over direction. Every journey is a chance to learn, grow, and get beautifully lost. You're one of us.So, What Does It All Mean?If you find yourself craving the soul of a destination, not just its surface… if you believe the real journey begins once you've left the crowds behind… then you're not just on vacation.You're a traveler, and you're part of the 1923 Main Street story. Or maybe you're the hybrid, someone who likes a little of both depending on your destination.Of course, our travel t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies look great and feel great whether you're traveling or on vacation, because the soul of travel is always be infused into every thread of 1923 Main Street travel apparel.At 1923 Main Street, We Design for the WanderersEvery graphic tee, sweatshirt and hoodie that we create is a tribute to those who roam with purpose.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Marvin Steele from Garland, TX. Thank you for partnering with us through Project23. Your support helps people have faith in Jesus. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 6:1-6: He went away from there and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him. And on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things? What is the wisdom given to him? How are such mighty works done by his hands? Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him. And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household.” And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them. And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went about among the villages teaching. — Mark 6:1-6 Jesus returns to his hometown, Nazareth. This is where Jesus grew up, where he learned the trade of a carpenter, and where people watched him grow from a baby to a boy into a man. And now he's back. But not as a carpenter. But as a Lord. He's teaching with wisdom. He's performing mighty works. He's stepping fully into His divine calling. And what's the response? Listen to the skepticism: “Isn't this Mary's son? The carpenter? The kid we used to know?” They're amazed—but not expectantly and excitedly. They simply can't reconcile who Jesus is with who they remember he was. Familiarity breeds unbelief. They couldn't see the Messiah standing before them—because how they remembered him and formerly knew him for so many years. And because of that, Mark proclaims something staggering: “He could do no mighty work there… and he marveled because of their unbelief.” Let that sink in: Unbelief shut the door on what Jesus wanted to do. Not because he lacked power—but because the people lacked faith. Jesus doesn't force his way upon us, and he doesn't perform signs to show off to his skeptics. He responds to faith, not familiarity. And the warning of this scripture is simple. You can grow up around Jesus. You can hear his teaching every Sunday. You can know the stories, quote the verses, sing the songs—and still not have faith in him. Familiarity is not faith. Proximity is not surrender. Faith is seeing Jesus for who he truly is—and responding with awe, trust, and obedience. So today, the question isn't: “Are you familiar with Jesus?” The question is: “Do you have faith in Jesus?” #FaithOverFamiliarity, #PowerOfUnbelief, #JesusInNazareth ASK THIS: Are you truly seeing Jesus for who he is, or just as someone you've always known? How can familiarity with Jesus sometimes hinder your faith in Him? In what areas of your life do you need to move from knowledge of Jesus to faith in Him? What does it mean for you to respond with awe, trust, and obedience to Jesus? DO THIS: Take a moment to reflect on the areas of your life where familiarity with Jesus has replaced faith and trust. Ask God to reveal new aspects of His character to you today. PRAY THIS: Jesus, I don't want to merely know about You, I want to truly know You and trust You. Help me see You clearly and respond with faith, awe, and obedience today. Amen. PLAY THIS: King of Kings.

Sermon By: Kirk Packer

John 4:43-44 After the two days, He went forth from there into Galilee. For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country. These verses are meant to show us the contrast between how Jesus was received in Samaria and how He was received in Galilee. He was received in Sychar, a city of Gentiles, as a prophet. Remember what the woman said after Jesus revealed that He knew she had five husbands and was living with a guy? “Sir, I perceive that You are a Prophet.” Jesus performed no miracles in Sychar that we know of, and the people wanted Him to stay. He was honored, and in an honor/shame culture, that's a big deal. They believed Him to be the Savior of the world because of His words. Jesus experienced for a brief time, only two days, the joys of sowing and reaping with His Father. What a blessed and rewarding two days! In contrast, Jesus not only was not honored in Galilee, His own country, but was shamed and cast out. He had lived a perfect life in Galilee for more than 20 years of His life. The manner in which He lived His life, His attitudes, His conduct, His words must have stood out to those who knew Him, but they couldn't see His glory. When He healed a man with a withered hand, preached the good news in the synagogue, and prophesied, they cast Him out of the city and attempted to kill Him by throwing Him off a cliff. In the next verse we will see how He was received, but for today, let's learn a couple of important lessons in walking with Jesus. First, there are good times and difficult times in ministry. We must not determine to whom and where we minister on the basis of hoped for results. We are to be faithful wherever He leads us and receive what He gives us with contentment and gratitude. If God gives us a season of sowing and reaping, we are to receive it with great joy, but be ready to move on in obedience to the leading of the Spirit of God. Second, we must not pre-judge people or assume we know how we are going to be received. We learn from this account, that the ones we think might be most receptive to our love will not be, and the ones we think might be the most resistant may not be. Familiarity may breed contempt, or at least blind people from recognizing that they have one sent from God in their midst. It is not always the case, but it still may happen. One may find a much warmer reception in a foreign field than he finds at home in his own family or church. That's how it was with Jesus, so we should not be surprised. We are to trust the reception of our love and ministry to God and His will. Our responsibility is to be faithful and to trust God for the results. So let this verse encourage us to live to love with Jesus in both good and bad times, content with whatever results or fruit the Lord wills. Let's simply be faithful, enjoy the blessings of loving with Him, and be thankful for the privilege and honor it is to work in God's field with Him. I invite you to become a partner in our ministry. Would you pray about becoming a regular supporter of Elijah Ministries and the Live to Love with Jesus ministry? I hope you will receive the joy and benefit of “giving it forward,” so others may receive encouragement to turn their hearts to God and to live to love with Jesus.

“The greatest spiritual danger is not just that we might fall into sin, but that we might simply stop caring. That we might live our lives in quiet despair and call it maturity.” - @andrejosiah Ps. Andre anchored his message in 2 Peter 1:3-11, reminding us not to settle for spiritual laziness or mediocre faith. Familiarity can easily lead to complacency—our passion fades, Scripture feels dry, and church becomes routine. But this weariness isn't the absence of God; it's a deeper longing to pursue Him more intentionality and move into deeper connection. He also warned that all sin leads to death, especially sloth—a spiritual sin that narrows our vision, dulls our hunger for God and breeds indifference. May we examine our lives and reflect where we have settled into cruise control, to pray for empowerment by the Spirit to refuse spiritual passivity and be encouraged that it's never too late to start again in our pursuit of God.

Message given by Pastor Randyn Funderburg at Holy Life Tabernacle Church on 06/01/2025.

What's the architecture of a DMT experience, who are the entities that regularly interact and what's their message? How can DMT therapy facilitate positive mental health outcomes?In this episode we're going to learn about the bizarre types of experience that users of DMT have; DMT being the most powerful hallucinogenic molecule on the planet. So we'll be getting into the background of psychedelics for mental health; and the particularities of DMT, the active ingredient in Ahyuasca and the psychedelic that most often presents entities that interact meaningfully with the experiencer; we're going to discuss the different types of entities: from mythological creatures, to Gods and Demons, to machine elves and aliens, and the significance of these same characters appearing significantly often without an obvious primer; we'll also discuss the importance of mystical experience and teacher /guide experiences to positive mental health outcomes.Fortunately our guest was the head researcher on a 2022 paper that looked at exactly this topic, the medical doctor and sports scientist professor at the University of Toronto, Dr. David Wyndham Lawrence. He's published over 35 scientific papers across sports science and psychedelics for medical use.What we discussed:00:00 Intro05:20 Concussion, sports mental health & psychedelic therapy.08:10 Bringing in Robin Carhartt-Harris on the gaps in sports mental health treatment.12:06 Why psychedelics for those already in psychological difficulty?14:04 Serotonin receptor - neuro-protective mitochondria function.15:00 DMT is endogenous to the brain. 18:20 Medical institution meets shamanism.23:50 David's DMT phenomenology paper.30:10 The architecture of the DMT world.32:60 Mostly positive, interactive entity encounters.37:05 Occasionally negative encounters.38:40 Negative psychedelic experiences study - Jules Evans.40:05 How much “Primers” from pop culture influence experiences.44:00 Alien encounters in %16 of participants.45:30 Medical procedures by entities in 9% of participants.47:05 Mystical experiences in %70 of participants.49:00 Familiarity/ sense of home in the experiences.52:20 Default Mode Network is less active during altered states.48:35 Ego dissolution Vs mystical experience.01:00:00 5meoDMT Vs DMT.01:03:20 Wise teacher experience in 32% of participants.01:05:20 Death bed palliative doses to alleviate fear of death.01:09:50 ‘You're not ready for this experience' message.01:11:05 Theories of DMT experiences evaluated.01:12:20 ”All models are false but some are useful”, anonymous statistician.References: David Lawrence, “Phenomenology and content of inhaled DMT” David Wyndham Lawrence and Robin Carhart-Harris, “Sports Medicine, Mental Health & Well-Being, and Psychedelics” Benny Shanon,  “Antipodies of the Mind”Matthew W.

Why do you keep attracting the same type of person who drains your energy or leaves you feeling unseen? Ever wondered why confidence seems so effortless for some and impossible for others? What if the secret to deep connection and magnetic attraction had nothing to do with looks or pickup lines—and everything to do with how you feel in your body?In this powerful session, Dr. David Snyder dives into the real reasons most people fail at dating, flirting, and even long-term relationships. Spoiler: it's not about the words you say. It's about mastering your inner state, aligning your physiology, and radiating emotions that others can't help but respond to.You'll learn:· Why familiarity, not chemistry, drives attraction· How to reprogram your subconscious "romantic templates"· How posture and breath control your confidence (and your results)· Why your checklist is sabotaging your connections· The ethical psychology behind making others feel amazing in your presenceIf you've been burned, rejected, or just frustrated by modern dating—this will flip your script. Whether you're single, dating, or in a relationship, Dr. Snyder reveals how to flirt for fun and profit by being playfully powerful.Quotes:• "Your physiology controls your psychology. If you want to change your emotional state, start with the body, because the body is the most bulletproof way to get and maintain a state."• "The more playful you can be, the more powerful you become because when you're playful, when you're relaxed and easy going, when you're just looking for the fun, it neutralizes and slips under people's defense mechanisms.""Each of you is moving through the world with a little checklist, and you're projecting that out into the world, and you're making the assumption that everyone you meet has the exact same checklist."Key Takeaways:· Your Physiology Controls Your Psychology– How you stand, breathe, and move determines how you feel. If you want to feel confident, start by changing your posture and breathing.– Emotions are contagious—if you feel good, others will mirror that.· Attraction is Built on Familiarity, Not Logic– We are drawn to what's familiar, not necessarily what's healthy or attractive. These patterns often come from childhood experiences.– If you keep attracting the “wrong” people, it's time to reprogram your internal templates.· Playfulness = Power– Approaching others in a relaxed, curious, and playful state increases your likeability, influence, and success rate—by as much as 31%, according to FBI negotiator Chris Voss.– Most people are too serious or nervous, which kills attraction.· Women and Men Have Different Social Programming– Many women are taught to hide their attraction, leading to mixed signals.– Men often miss subtle cues, leading to awkward or unwanted interactions. Both need to relearn better communication.· Echo Technique Creates Instant Rapport– Mirroring someone's exact words (verbatim) makes them feel heard and validated. It creates deep subconscious trust and connection quickly.Episode Timeline:0:00:02- Introduction and opening announcer segment 0:00:24- Speaker begins discussing self-discovery, attraction, and personal growth 0:01:04- Exploration of relationship patterns, familiarity principle, and attraction psychology 0:11:44- Discussion of the reticular activating system and how emotional states influence perception 0:24:06- Interactive exercise demonstrating how physiology controls psychology 0:29:14- Q&A segment begins with Zoom participants 0:38:52- Discussion of dating psychology, approach anxiety, and social dynamics 0:49:15- Exploration of frame control and treating interactions like a game 0:58:06- Closing segment and announcer's outro To learn more about Dr. David Snyder and everything about NLP, visit:Website: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.nlppower.com/⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@DavidSnyderNLP⁠⁠⁠Instagram:⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/davidsnydernlp

Corporate worship happens regularly. When Jesus rose from the dead, Christians began to gather on the first day of the week and so, two thousand years later, we continue to do this, every seventh day. Familiarity all too often breeds contempt and we can begin to allow worship to become mundane, or to morph into something that is more about us and our needs than it is about God and his glory. Hebrews 12:28–29 reminds us of some truths about the God that we are gathering to worship, and helps to refocus our hearts and minds, grateful for the opportunity we have each week to worship together. We ask three questions of this text: 1. What is worship (v. 28)? 2. Who do we worship (v. 29a)? 3. How should we worship (v. 29b)?

We discuss why it's valuable to identify your "exceptional advantages" in both work and personal life—those unique blessings or abilities you might take for granted but actually set you apart. We also share a hack that can save you time and frustration when going somewhere, and a simple, revealing question that can help you know yourself (and other people) better. Plus, we consider a different interpretation of Secret of Adulthood: "Working is one of the most dangerous forms of procrastination.” Resources & links related to this episode: Order your copy of Secrets of Adulthood Elizabeth is reading: The Book of Cold Cases by Simone St. James (Amazon, Bookshop) Gretchen is reading: Look Back with Love by Dodie Smith (Amazon) Get in touch: podcast@gretchenrubin.com Visit Gretchen's website to learn more about Gretchen's best-selling books, products from The Happiness Project Collection, and the Happier app. Find the transcript for this episode on the episode details page in the Apple Podcasts app. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Familiarity

"We all have our own thing, and we all have to make that decision every day about what's in it for us, is it worth it, and is it worth my time." Notable Moments 00:36 When to Say Yes or No 03:22 Invitations Increase with Familiarity 08:02 Facing Life's Tough Challenges 12:14 Managing Life's Responsibilities 14:17 Get Organized for Success Sometimes, the most powerful tool you have is a simple “no.” During my years at Disney, I learned that it's okay to not say yes to every opportunity. The more important thing is knowing which doors to walk through and which ones to keep closed. Success isn't about overloading your calendar. It's about making conscious choices so your time and energy add up to something worthwhile. I've seen leaders rise by grabbing big opportunities. Djuan Rivers seemed to say yes to challenging new roles again and again. He didn't accept every little invitation though. He chose the moves that advanced his career and expanded his world. On the flip side, I said no to a lot of late-night banquets and endless committees so I could be ready for what really mattered the next day. It comes down to this: “Is it worth it?” That's the question I challenge myself with all the time. The best use of your time is investing in things that help you grow, personally and professionally. Say yes to the adventure, the project, or the role that stretches you, but don't be afraid to save your time for when it counts. And here's another secret: A big part of making your life easier is tackling the hard things head-on. Write down the tough conversations you're avoiding, make a plan, and just get it done. Don't let the easy distractions pile up and rob you of bigger opportunities. Master the art of yes and no—your energy, focus, and future will thank you.

Have you ever wondered why anxiety in children can look and feel so physical—and what we as pediatricians, parents, or caregivers can do about it? We're visiting a fan favorite from Episode #26 of Pediatric Meltdown, Dr. Lia Gaggino sits down with Dr. Colleen Cullinan, a leading pediatric psychologist, to dissect the powerful 3 B's approach: Brain, Body, and Behavior. Together, they reveal eye-opening truths about integrated behavioral health, the ways anxiety manifests in kids, and practical, actionable strategies for managing emotional meltdowns in real-time. This is not just about recognizing anxiety—it's about transforming how we support kids inside and outside the exam room. If you want to empower families, level up your clinical skills, and make a tangible difference, don't miss this conversation. This episode could change the way you think about pediatric care—forever.[00:00 - 11:35] Integrated Care Foundations: Building Partnerships in Pediatric PracticeIntegrated behavioral health bridges the gap between physical and mental health, creating seamless care experiences for families.Primary care is often the first—and sometimes only—entry point for children facing emotional or behavioral challenges.Partnerships between pediatricians and behavioral health providers increase accessibility, reduce stigma, and foster earlier intervention.The synergy and trust between pediatricians and psychology professionals leads to holistic, effective patient care.[11:36 - 15:49] The Role of Primary Care in Managing Anxiety and Emotional HealthPrimary care providers serve as trusted anchors, introducing mental health as an essential component of overall health.Familiarity with a child's history allows pediatricians to recognize subtle behavior changes and collaborate meaningfully with behavioral specialists.Normalizing physical symptoms of anxiety (like stomachaches and headaches) helps bridge conversations from medical to emotional concerns.Educating families on the inseparability of physical and emotional health empowers them to seek support without shame.[15:50 - 28:55] Anxiety Explained: The 3 B's and Practical Strategies for KidsThe "3 B's": Brain, Body, and Behavior, are interlinked—anxiety in the brain triggers body sensations, which guide behavior, often leading to avoidance.Psychoeducation is key: Emphasizing to families and youth that everyone experiences anxiety validates their feelings and reduces shame.Simple, actionable distress tolerance tools—breathing exercises, grounding techniques (like the “five senses” method), and focusing attention—can be taught in minutes during a regular visit.Providers can help children recognize “worry thoughts” and redirect their response before anxiety spirals into withdrawal or meltdown.[28:56 - 49:20] When to Escalate: Distress Tolerance, Prevention, and Team-Based SolutionsDistress tolerance techniques can bridge the gap until a child can access specialized behavioral care—or be sufficient for milder cases.Functional impairment is the marker for when anxiety moves from “manageable” to requiring traditional CBT or higher-level intervention.Exposure therapy explained: At its core, CBT for anxiety involves identifying fears and encouraging gradual, manageable exposure to them, with improvement through repetition.Advocacy for integrated behavioral health, resource sharing, and ongoing partnerships with community therapists are essential for sustainable, high-impact child mental health care.[49:21- 53:34] Dr. Lia's...

Late last night, the news finally came in: the Liberal Party of Canada pulled off the upset and held onto parliamentary power. It wasn't pretty. It wasn't dominant. But they survived — and a few months ago, that seemed almost impossible. They had everything working against them: more than a decade in power, a deeply unpopular former prime minister they had to jettison, and an electorate that looked ready for change. Yet when the votes were counted, the Liberals were still standing.And you can't tell this story without talking about Donald Trump. Trump has been a thorn in Canada's side since his first term — publicly antagonizing Justin Trudeau, calling Canada the "51st state," and slapping brutal tariffs on Canadian goods. That lingering resentment became part of the political terrain in Canada. The Liberal candidate, Mark Carney, didn't just have to run against Peter Poilievre and the Conservative Party — he got to run against the memory of Trump, and against the uncertainty that conservatives couldn't fully distance themselves from.Poilievre never figured out how to adapt. He spent too much time running a traditional opposition campaign and not enough time answering the deeper question a lot of Canadian voters were asking: would a Conservative government just invite more chaos with Trump? Carney seized on that. He didn't have to make it the centerpiece of his campaign, but it was always there in the background. Steady hand versus risk. Familiarity versus volatility.And while some Conservatives are already spinning this as a "moral victory" because of how tight the race was, that's not how elections work. A win is a win. In a parliamentary system, survival is everything. The Liberals get to control the agenda, pick the cabinet, and frame the narrative going into the next few years. That's not moral victory — that's real, tangible power. And for a party that looked like it was about to lose everything, it's a remarkable political save.Now, the Liberals may still need a coalition with the NDP to govern effectively. It's razor-thin. But that's a separate conversation. The scoreboard is the scoreboard. And right now, the score says the Liberals survived. Trump's shadow loomed large over this race — and in the end, it helped save the very people he's spent years antagonizing.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:01:28 - WHCA Substack Party00:11:27 - Interview with Kevin Ryan00:28:46 - Update00:29:08 - Canadian Election Results00:31:38 - Big Beautiful Bill's July 4th Deadline00:35:46 - Interview with Kevin Ryan, con't00:57:28 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Energy & Focus In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery… I had to make a decision—and not just any decision, but one that required me to draw a hard line on what I tolerate and where I choose to invest my energy. This wasn't about business plans or growth strategies. It was about something as simple—and as massive—as a hotel room. Now, that might sound petty at first glance, but stay with me. See, over the last few weeks, I've been everywhere—Vegas, Kansas City, Atlanta—chasing goals, supporting my daughter at nationals (she placed second in the nation, by the way), and showing up for the people I lead. But through all this travel, I kept getting hit with the same lesson: energy and focus are your most valuable assets, and you better be damn protective of them. So here I am, walking into a W Hotel in Atlanta, expecting the same elevated experience I had in other cities. Instead, I'm hit with dirty elevators, stained carpets, dingy lighting, mold in the shower—everything that screamed low standards. And while the room was draining me, what hit harder was realizing how many of us allow these energy leaks to continue in our lives every single day. That beat-up car, that slow computer, that "just okay" team member, that friendship you've outgrown—they're all robbing you. Quietly. Consistently. Stealing your ability to create and expand. Just like that hotel room did to me. And for what? Comfort? Familiarity? Let me be real with you. I could've stayed. I could've told myself, “You made the bed, now lie in it.” But like Jim Rohn said, “You're not a tree. Change it.” So I did. Took the hit, booked another hotel, and within hours, I felt different. More powerful. More clear. More me. And this wasn't just about a hotel. It was a metaphor. A wake-up call. Because the same thing goes for people. There are folks in your life—maybe even good people—that you've outgrown. And by holding on, you're blocking the great people who are ready to enter your life. It's not about being cold or ungrateful. It's about being intentional with your energy. Energy that belongs to your business. Your health. Your family. Your purpose. I'm not here to convince anyone. I don't chase. I don't beg. But I will tell you this—when you start choosing yourself and what serves your purpose, your entire world shifts. Let the distractions go. Let the resentment go. Let the people go who aren't moving with you. Because if you really want to do the work, it starts there—with energy and focus. 5 Reflective Questions What are you tolerating right now that's quietly draining your energy and focus? Is there a relationship in your life that you've outgrown but are holding onto out of comfort or guilt? What physical items (your car, workspace, home) are stealing from your peace and confidence? How do you respond when people bring problems without taking responsibility for their part in the solution? What bold move can you make today to realign yourself with your vision? Notable Quotes “If you don't like how things are, change it. You're not a tree.” “This is the power you have when you're around the right people, in the right environments, focusing on the right things.” “Energy and focus are your most valuable assets—you better protect them like your life depends on it, because it does.” “Good people had to leave so I could finally see the great people that were already in my life.” “Just because you made a decision doesn't mean you have to lie in it forever.”   Follow A.Z.

In this episode of Thrive Beyond Size, I'm diving into something that's been showing up in my own intuitive eating journey lately—something sneaky that might be tripping you up too: the difference between pleasure and familiarity.Sometimes we reach for certain foods, habits, or even thought patterns not because they truly bring us joy or nourishment—but because they're familiar. They're predictable. And in a world that feels overwhelming or exhausting, predictability can feel like relief. But here's the thing: comfort isn't always the same as pleasure. And when we mistake one for the other, we can stay stuck in patterns that don't actually support us.This week, I'm exploring:Why our brains cling to the familiar (even when it's not helpful)How to tell the difference between real pleasure and short-term comfortWhy discomfort is part of the change process—and not a sign you're doing it wrongHow mindfulness can help you break free from old autopilot behaviors and make more nourishing, conscious choicesWhether it's food, body image habits, or the way you talk to yourself—this episode will help you tune in more clearly to what actually feels good (not just what feels known). No shame, no judgment—just curiosity, compassion, and a gentle invitation to try something new.Resources + Links:Email me: michelle@wayzahealth.com – I'd love to hear your thoughts on this one!Learn more about how to work with me at wayzahealth.comEnjoyed this episode?Share it with a friend or leave a review—it helps more folks find the support they need to heal their relationship with food, body, and self.

Postoperative cognitive disorders (POCD) are often misunderstood, underdiagnosed, and underestimated, but they can dramatically affect a patient's recovery and long-term quality of life. We've invited Dr. Christine Detwiler to join us so we can better understand the science behind POCD, the risk factors, and the strategies anesthesia providers are using to protect brain health. Along with guest co-host Dana Pederson, CRNA, we dive into this topic with Christine while it's still very fresh on her mind. She shares the insights she uncovered during her doctoral research, including risk factors, early signs to watch for, and why anesthesia providers play a bigger role in brain health than they might think. Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:

Beliefs can be inserted when someone is vulnerable (financial hardship, emotional vulnerability) Manipulation tactics: fear-mongering, guilt, and virtue signaling Discussion of objective vs. subjective truth and their differences [15:45] Common Manipulation Types + Defense Strategies Three common manipulation types: fear-mongering, social proof pressure, false dichotomies Fear mongering: creating urgency through fear (COVID example given) Social proof pressure: fear of social rejection or judgment False dichotomies: presenting only two options when more exist Breathwork as a tool to exit manipulation cycles The key question to ask: 'Who benefits from me believing this?' The contradiction test: look for contradictions in someone's 'absolute truth' If you can't argue the opposite side, you've been conditioned, not educated [23:45] Rebuilding Intuition + Exiting Manipulation Every time you ignore your gut feeling, you make it weaker The cost of ignoring intuition: toxic relationships, bad jobs, meaningless pursuits Four ways to sharpen intuition: conscious breathwork, meditation, microdosing, conscious reflection The counterintuitive solution: 'The only way to win the game is to stop playing it' The observer mindset: watch the world like a movie rather than reacting to it Eight takeaways summarized at the end, including remembering that feelings are not facts Final encouragement to find peace and fulfillment by exiting manipulative systems Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Links From Today's Show  698 Cory Clark | Pro-Blame Bias: How to Find The Courage to Speak Your Truth + Escape Victim Mentality Wild Wild Country (2018) 345 Zach Bush MD: Humanity, Consciousness & COVID19 breathwork.io EONS: DAILED (Amanita Muscaria) - Get 20% off with code JOSH20 Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT Paleovalley - 15% off with the link only EQUIP Foods - 20% off with the code WELLNESS20 DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ Just Thrive - 20% off with the code JOSH Legacy Cacao - Save 10% with JOSH when you order by the pound!
