Send a textHave you ever told yourself,“Okay. This time I'm going to stick with it.”And then a few weeks later… life happens. The routine shifts. The habit disappears. And suddenly you're questioning your consistency, your discipline — maybe even your identity. If that sounds familiar, this episode is your reset.We're revisiting one of our most powerful conversations with Ronnie Loaiza — behavioral science expert, certified habit coach, master certified life coach, and personal trainer — because the truth about habits is more relevant than ever.Especially for high-achieving women leaders.Because here's what we see all the time: You don't struggle with ambition or commitment. You struggle with trying to build habits on top of pressure, burnout, and unrealistic expectations.And your brain? It's simply doing what it was wired to do.In This Episode, We Explore:✨ Why willpower is overrated✨ The difference between a routine and a habit✨ What to do when a habit you built suddenly disappears✨ Why 21 days is a myth (real studies show 85–185 days!)✨ How to identify the hidden “reward” behind habits that aren't serving you✨ The neuroscience behind dopamine, celebration, and momentum✨ Ronnie's simple If–Then strategy for creating flexibility without losing progress✨ Why momentum beats motivation every timeWe also go deeper into the pre-work most habit books skip:Before you build the habit, you have to uncover: What void is this habit filling? What reward am I unconsciously protecting? Does this habit actually align with who I'm becoming?Because sometimes the habit isn't the problem.Sometimes it's the identity shift happening underneath it.For the Leader Who…Feels pressure to perform at the highest level — alwaysWorries about burnout but keeps pushing anywayBelieves she “should be able to handle it all”Wants systems that support her success instead of draining herIs ready to work smarter — not harderThis conversation will meet you exactly where you are.Not with hustle, shame, or more discipline. But with neuroscience, compassion, and strategy.Reflect As You Listen:Where am I relying on motivation instead of systems?What tiny action could rebuild trust with myself today?What changed in my life that may have disrupted my routine?Am I judging myself… when I actually just need a new plan?High performance doesn't require punishment. Sustainable leadership doesn't require self-neglect.And habits that last? They're built on awareness, alignment, and celebration.

From the start, the Epstein investigation was engineered to produce narrow results. Narrow charges do not emerge naturally when evidence points to a sprawling criminal enterprise fueled by money, access, and institutional protection. The focus on Epstein alone was a deliberate choice designed to avoid following the financial infrastructure that made his crimes possible. The released emails and documents show awareness, coordination, and active containment, not ignorance. Sexual abuse was treated as the whole story because it could be isolated, while financial crimes would have exposed banks, intermediaries, and elite beneficiaries. Every dollar Epstein moved should have been treated as evidence of enterprise-level criminality, yet that scrutiny was avoided. RICO was never used because it would have forced prosecutors to acknowledge pattern, facilitation, and mutual benefit. That would have dragged the financial sector into the light, and that outcome was unacceptable to those in power. This was not incompetence or oversight. It was a controlled, scoped-down operation from the beginning.When Epstein became a liability who might talk, the narrow investigation became untenable, but his removal did not erase the evidence. Financial records, emails, and transaction histories still exist and still point to beneficiaries who profited while keeping their hands “clean.” The unanswered questions are all financial: who received money, who structured the vehicles, who vouched for him, and who chose profit over accountability. The contrast with cases like Martha Stewart exposes the hypocrisy of enforcement priorities, where market disruption is punished but elite stability is protected. Figures like Leon Black and Les Wexner exemplify how proximity to power insulates culpability through delay and fragmentation. The investigation was tilted long before Epstein's death, designed to deliver a villain without a reckoning. Survivors were denied full accountability, and the public was given closure without truth. Until the financial architecture that enabled Epstein is confronted, justice has not begun—it has been deliberately postponed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

On today's episode of The Jeff Dornik Show, Jeff Dornik is joined by Troy Anderson to discuss his book Designated Disrupter: Trump and Other Unlikely Agents of Revival and why America is facing a Nineveh moment that demands repentance. Troy Anderson explains how God is using controversial and secular figures such as Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson, Jordan Peterson, and Russell Brand to ignite a spiritual awakening, drawing on biblical history, prophecy, and modern movements like The Return and the Asbury Revival. Together they explore prayer, fasting, cultural transformation, and the role everyday believers must play in partnering with God for national revival.SPONSORDitch the toxic underwear that weakens your body and betrays your dignity…strap on NADS' organic, non-toxic cotton sanctuary for your most precious assets and honor the temple God gave you with uncompromising comfort and health.

We examine a realistic scenario for a client with a $750,000 TSP/401(K) and a $40,000 pension, focusing on adjustments in fund allocation, and a financial scenario for "Bill" vs. "Jack", one begins withdrawing $3,000 monthly from his TSP and takes Social Security at 62. Understanding crucial aspects like TSP distributions, retirement income, and tax planning is key, and we explore how a bucket strategy retirement approach can help manage these changes effectively.

Paris, 1871. The city is under siege. The government has fallen. And in the heart of the chaos, one woman stands defiant with a rifle in hand. Welcome to Louise Michel: The Fearless Revolutionary of the Paris Commune, an episode of Join Us in France that brings history to life like never before. Listen to this episode ad-free Host Annie Sargent and historian Elyse Rivin dive deep into the dramatic story of the Paris Commune—a radical uprising that shook France to its core. For 72 days in 1871, Paris was ruled not by kings or emperors, but by workers, artists, and revolutionaries. At the center of it all? Louise Michel, a schoolteacher turned anarchist whose courage and conviction made her a legend. This isn't just a history lesson. It's a story of defiance, feminism, and revolution that still echoes today. Louise Michel didn't just witness history—she shaped it. Born in 1830, she grew up with privilege but chose a life of activism. She fought on the barricades, organized ambulance stations during the Bloody Week, and even faced down the French army. When the Commune fell, she was arrested, tried, and exiled to New Caledonia. But exile didn't stop her. She learned the local Kanak language, taught indigenous girls, and even joined a revolt against French colonial rule. Later, she returned to France, where she became a feminist icon, traveling across Europe to spread her radical ideas. Annie and Elyse explore the myths and realities of the Commune, from the so-called Pétroleuses (women accused of burning Paris) to the destruction of landmarks like the Tuileries Palace. They discuss Louise's unlikely survival after being shot in the head, her correspondence with Victor Hugo, and her role in creating the black flag of anarchism. This episode also uncovers the Commune's lasting impact on Paris—from the Mur des Fédérés in Père Lachaise Cemetery to the renamed Square Louise Michel near Sacré-Cœur. But the conversation doesn't stop in the 19th century. After the interview, Annie shares updates on the legacy of the Paris 2024 Olympics and how the Olympic Village in Saint-Denis is transforming into a vibrant new neighborhood. It's a reminder that history isn't just about the past—it's about how we live today. If you love stories of bold women, forgotten revolutions, and the hidden layers of Paris, this episode is for you. Whether you're a history buff, a Francophile, or just curious about the untold stories of France, Louise Michel: The Fearless Revolutionary of the Paris Commune will leave you inspired.

Some toy trends make sense, like the fascination with Lego or even Barbie-mania, which naturally enjoyed the boost from the 2023 film. The fad for trolls, however, doesn't immediately make sense. These strange plastic figures with staring eyes and wild hair don't really do much…but that has never stopped people wanting them. This month is going to be all about children's folklore, and that led me onto thinking about toys. While the folklore of toys might have seemed more obvious, troll dolls give us the chance to explore toys related to folklore. So let's explore where troll dolls came from, and how trolls themselves appear in Scandinavian myth and folklore in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore.

1. SAVE America Act (Election Law & Voter ID) Core Argument The SAVE America Act would: Require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote Require photo ID to vote Democrats are portrayed as unanimously opposed, preventing passage due to the Senate’s 60‑vote threshold. Strategic Claim Cruz argues Republicans should: Force a “real” filibuster (continuous floor speeches) Make Democratic opposition politically and physically costly He frames Democratic resistance as intentional rather than procedural. Public Opinion Framing Polling is cited (CNN, Pew) to claim: Broad bipartisan and multiracial support for voter ID Democratic leadership (especially Chuck Schumer) is accused of ignoring their own voters. 2. Voter Fraud & Ballot Harvesting Claims Presented Ballot harvesting is described as: A system that enables fraud, especially among elderly or vulnerable populations Democrats are accused of: Supporting policies that increase fraud opportunities Reversing recommendations from the Carter–Baker Commission There is justification for: Photo ID laws Restrictions on mail-in voting Limits on third-party ballot collection 3. Somali Welfare Fraud in Minnesota Central Allegation Massive welfare fraud in Minnesota tied to programs serving the Somali immigrant community. Figures cited include: Up to half of $18 billion in welfare spending allegedly lost to fraud Disproportionately high welfare participation rates among Somali households Democratic state officials are accused of: Knowing about the fraud Allowing it to continue for political gain Silencing whistleblowers Stolen welfare funds indirectly finance al‑Shabab, a terrorist organization 4. Medical Policy Shift on Gender Surgeries for Minors Key Development The American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Medical Association are described as: Reversing prior support for “gender‑affirming surgeries” for minors Now recommending deferral until adulthood Causal Explanation The reversal is attributed to: A high‑profile malpractice lawsuit by a detransitioner Legal and financial risk to medical institution Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Send us a textWhat if leadership isn't something you learn one day, it's something you embody in every single decision?In this episode, Alex sits down with Sherell Slaise—entrepreneur, leadership mentor, and self-described “yes-to-experience” leader—to unpack what leadership really looks like when it's lived, not theorized.From walking away from corporate life, to building multiple businesses, to leading her family, teams, and even a sixth-grade volleyball squad, Sherell shares how confidence is built through experience, decisiveness creates safety, and true leadership is rooted in identity—not titles.This is a grounded, real conversation about leadership as a lifestyle: how the way you think shapes the way you lead, why certainty only comes after action, and how grit, commitment, and embodiment change results in business, relationships, and life.You'll hear Sherell break down the core leadership attributes she lives by—and how high-achieving women can stop overthinking, trust themselves faster, and step fully into the CEO identity they know they're meant for.✨ Curious where you're at in your own leadership evolution?Sherell also shares her CEO Readiness Quiz, designed to help high-achieving women assess how ready they are to lead at the next level in business.

Send us a textWhat if your life is simply reflecting the frequency you're broadcasting?In this powerful episode, I sit down with Steve Linton—former U.S. Marine, professional pilot, and world-class skydiver with over 17,000 jumps—whose journey took him from sleeping in his car to earning a six-figure month in under six months.Steve's core message is both simple and confronting: frequency drives results. Change your internal signal, and your patterns, relationships, and income must follow.We explore frequency not just as a spiritual concept, but as physics plus pattern—vibration reinforced through repetition. Steve shares how a persistent “why me?” mindset kept him trapped in cycles of struggle, even after earning two degrees. The turning point came when a mentor delivered a blunt truth: your attitude is the engine. From there, everything changed.In this conversation, Steve breaks down the exact tools he used to rebuild his life:Rewriting identity before changing behaviourPresent-tense “contracts” with himself to reprogram the subconsciousVisualisation that makes success feel normal, not distantGratitude practiced with emotional charge—not surface-level positivityAnd the unglamorous but essential truth: mindset without action changes nothingWe also dive into self-image psychology, subconscious conditioning, and why protecting your environment—and your circle—matters, especially when doubt comes from those closest to you. Steve shares grounded, repeatable practices you can apply immediately: morning and evening affirmations, sensory-rich visualisation, upgrading your environment, serving others to shift state, and executing quietly while your goals are still forming.This episode is about discipline over drama, clarity over chaos, and the unwavering decision not to quit.If you're ready for a reset around money, purpose, health, or direction, this conversation offers a practical roadmap to turn belief into behaviour—and behaviour into real-world results.Get his new book here (click link)If this resonated, subscribe, share the episode with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help others find the show.I'd love to hear from you: what one daily habit will you commit to this week?Support the showThank you for listening

What should parents do when public figures stir strong reactions, confusion, anger, fear, or frustration? In this episode of Facing the Dark, Wayne Stender and Dr. Kathy Koch explore a real world case from England where a teacher faced disciplinary action after showing political footage to older teens. Rather than taking a political stance, the conversation turns to a deeper parenting question: should teenagers be introduced to people and ideas that feel troubling or controversial? Dr. Kathy explains why shielding kids from difficult figures doesn't build maturity, but guided exposure does. Together, they unpack how discernment is formed through conversation, curiosity, humility, and relationship, not avoidance. Parents are encouraged to acknowledge what their kids already see, name emotional reactions honestly, and walk with them through anxiety or confusion when it arises. The episode also highlights the importance of parents modeling learning, sharing the books and thinkers that shape their own views, and explaining how they evaluate what's worth listening to. Grounded in Daniel 1, this conversation reminds families that God often forms wisdom not by isolation, but by engagement paired with conviction. When teens are given scaffolding instead of silence, they grow confident in their ability to think critically and live faithfully in a complex world.

Ramit Sethi of I Will Teach You To Be Rich talks to Grace and James, a couple from Ireland, aged 38 and 37, who have been navigating immense challenges. James was diagnosed with cancer and underwent a year of treatment, while Grace managed a difficult pregnancy and maternity leave with their second child, an infant. Amidst the fear and grief, their household income took a significant hit, causing financial strain.

Halloween night, 2001. A blue moon hangs over Virginia, a celestial event so rare it only occurs a handful of times per century. Seth, a young man wrestling with his faith and freshly removed from Liberty University, decides on a whim to drive out to the Blue Ridge Parkway alone. No plan, no destination, just a quiet stretch of road under a perfect, cloudless sky. He pulls into an empty turnout, not a single car in sight, and figures, why not take a night hike? The trail is short, the visibility through the trees is crystal clear, and he settles onto a bench to take in the stillness. That's when the silence becomes unnatural. No insects. No wind. Nothing, until the snapping of twigs begins circling him from the darkness. Back at his car, things escalate. Pinging sounds strike the steel frame of his 1970 Chevy Bel Air like pine cones being hurled from the void. The tree line ahead begins shifting, figures standing where there were none before. And on the grass median to his left, flat shapes appear like blankets tossed on the ground, cloaked and hooded but with no depth, no hands, no faces. Each time Seth looks away and back, they've moved closer. Then comes the flickering, a light sparking where a face should be, like a Bic lighter that can't hold a flame. Seth has never been able to find another account like this, and we try to unpack it through the lens of his testimony, childhood trauma, spiritual access, and the strange convergence of a once-in-a-generation night.
