Episode 3773: Tynan challenges the cliché of living each day like it's your last and instead suggests living each day like it's your first. By viewing life as a garden, he shows how habits, relationships, and learning are seeds we plant and nurture over time, creating lasting growth and fulfillment rather than rushing for quick rewards. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://tynan.com/yourfirst/ Quotes to ponder: "One type of seed is a habit. You begin a new habit, knowing that it won't yield fruit for days, weeks, months, or even years." "Sometimes it seems like the world is focused on the harvest, and not on the sowing." "If you live like it's your first day, you'll take a completely different approach." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Rupture without Repair, and the Discomfort of Being Misunderstood   In this deeply personal episode, Patricia (she/her) unpacks the fallout from a neighborhood rupture and the painful loss of community connection. Through the lens of being autistic and AuDHD, she explores rejection sensitivity, communication breakdowns, friendship trauma, and why repair isn't always possible. She also shares how co-regulation, body doubling, Costco runs, and fierce family love provide grounding. This conversation is raw, tender, and validating for anyone who has struggled with being misunderstood as a neurodivergent person. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE ·       The neighborhood rupture and how a joke led to exclusion from a community group ·       What happens when rupture and repair aren't possible in friendships ·       The autistic need for clarity, communication, and closure ·       Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) and how silence feels like rejection ·       The PDA (persistent drive for autonomy) response to being left out ·       The pain of friendship trauma and feeling misunderstood ·       How autistic people process and loop on unresolved conflict ·       The role of community in belonging and nervous system regulation ·       Why body doubling and co-regulation help autistic/ADHD brains stay grounded ·       Finding comfort in Costco runs, small joys, and simple routines ·       Permission to need rest, wear earplugs, or retreat from sensory overwhelm ·       Generational differences in friendship and communication between neurodivergent people ·       Practicing adaptability through change (like moving workspaces at home) ·       The bittersweet truth: not all friendships are meant to last ·       Gratitude reframed through an autistic lens—how to find appreciation without bypassing pain SOUND BITES “For us, it felt like there was no space for human mistakes, no place for rupture and repair.” “This activated friendship trauma in me, and I've noticed my protective armor is up.” “Intellectually, I know this is fine. Emotionally, feeling misunderstood and powerless is really hard.” "You have a right to speak up." "Not all friendships last forever." "Life is messy. Friendships are messy." “Body doubling is such a beautiful way to borrow someone else's nervous system to regulate.” “Sensitivity is nothing to apologize for. It's how you're wired. You have the right to take up space.” SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are.   TOPICS COVERED (please adjust for addition of introduction) 00:00 Navigating Community Dynamics 08:42 The Impact of Silence and Rejection 17:06 Rupture, Repair, and the Complexity of Relationships 23:52 Finding Joy in Everyday Moments 29:13 Gratitude and Perspective on Life PODCAST HOST Patricia Young (she/her) was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller.  Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion.  She created the podcasts Unapologetically Sensitive and Unapologetically AuDHD to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges.  Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent. Topics covered include: self-care, self-compassion, boundaries, perfectionism, mindfulness, communication, and creating a lifestyle that honors you Patricia's website, podcast episodes and more: www.unapologeticallysensitive.com LINKS    To write a review in itunes: click on this link https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/unapologetically-sensitive/id1440433481?mt=2 select “listen on Apple Podcasts” chose “open in itunes” choose “ratings and reviews” click to rate the number of starts click “write a review” Website--www.unapologeticallysensitive.com Facebook-- https://www.facebook.com/Unapologetically-Sensitive-2296688923985657/ Closed/Private Facebook group Unapologetically Sensitive-- https://www.facebook.com/groups/2099705880047619/ Instagram-- https://www.instagram.com/unapologeticallysensitive/ Youtube-- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOE6fodj7RBdO3Iw0NrAllg/videos?view_as=subscriber Tik Tok--https://www.tiktok.com/@unapologeticallysensitiv Unapologetically AuDHD Podcast-- https://unapologeticallysensitive.com/unapologeticallyaudhd/ e-mail-- unapologeticallysensitive@gmail.com Show hashtag--#unapologeticallysensitive Music-- Gravel Dance by Andy Robinson www.andyrobinson.com  

Today's episode is such a beautiful reminder that God truly is in the details. My guest, Michelle Wolf, is a mom of two who lives in Mexico. She chose homebirth for both of her babies, and while her first didn't go the way she had hoped — including a difficult recovery after tearing — God used her second birth story to show His faithfulness in such a powerful way. For baby number two, Michelle and her family traveled five hours to their midwife's home, and once again, God showed up — not just in the timing of everything, but in His presence as He met Michelle in her fear of tearing again. This episode is a testament that God knows the desires of your heart because He's the one who places them there. He designed birth with purpose and order, and when we follow His blueprint, blessings abound. But before we dive into Michelle's story, I have an exciting announcement to share. I've really been seeking the Lord lately about what He wants for this podcast and my role in the birth world — how I can best bring glory and honor to Him. And to be honest, I've been in such a season of transition. It's been stretching and uncomfortable… kind of like that moment in labor when you think you can't go any further, and that's exactly when transformation happens. Well, that transformation is here. I've gotten clear confirmation from the Lord to close down the coaching side of my business — something I've loved and invested so much into. And while it doesn't make sense on paper, I feel an incredible peace about it. Now don't worry — you can still work with me! It's just going to look a little different. ✨ This month, I'm hosting a brand-new masterclass called Renew Your Mind for Birth — a practical, faith-filled workshop designed to help you prepare for your God-designed homebirth. You'll learn what surrendering your birth to Jesus really looks like, uncover subconscious fears that might be sabotaging your pregnancy and homebirth dreams, and connect with other women who are preparing for a Jesus-centered birth experience. It's happening October 24th at 12:30pm CST on Zoom, and if you can't make it live, don't worry — I'll send you the replay so you won't miss a thing.

Coach Rhonda Revelle returns to the Max Out Mindset Podcast to reflect on growth, healing, and joy in coaching after adversity. Now in her 34th year leading Nebraska Softball, Revelle opens up about the defining challenges of her career and the deep personal work that helped her rediscover peace, purpose, and trust. She speaks candidly about emotional recovery, learning to care less about outside opinions, and finding strength in the people who walked beside her when life felt uncertain. Through stories of connection, faith, and the “team within the team,” Coach Revelle reveals the evolution of her leadership—from chasing outcomes to cherishing the daily process. She explains her 80/20 rule: 80% of her energy now goes toward building human connection, 20% toward softball. Listeners will hear why “you win in the locker room first,” how joy and competitiveness can coexist, and why she believes true success is measured by hugs, trust, and the feeling that no one wants the season to end. Her reflections on trust, team-first culture, and her bond with athlete Jordy Bahl bring the episode full circle—showing how relationships, vulnerability, and peace can fuel both performance and purpose. It's a masterclass in how to lead with heart, adapt with grace, and define success on your own terms. Max Out Mindset for Softball Book Max out Mindset services here.

So many women preparing for homebirth tell me, ‘I'm trying to have faith, but I still feel scared.' They think faith means they have to feel sure that everything will go perfectly. But biblical faith isn't about having psychological certainty — it's about trusting a faithful God even when the outcome is still unseen.   Join this episode to discover if your faith has a firm foundation or will crumble at the next uncertain circumstance. 1.

We sit down with Dr. Jerry Woodbridge — a Christian author, grief advocate, and lifelong educator whose mission is to bring comfort, understanding, and faith-based healing to grieving children and their caregivers. With over 40 years of experience in education and a deeply personal connection to grief after losing her husband in 2004, Dr. Woodbridge has turned her sorrow into purpose. Through her writing and teaching, she empowers families to navigate loss with compassion and faith. Her acclaimed books — Joy Overcame Sorrow (a children's guide to grief), Joy's Journal (a companion for healing through writing), and Trading My Sorrows for the Joy of the Lord (a reflective look at widowhood and faith) — serve as invaluable tools for both children and adults learning to process emotions and find peace. Now an assistant professor at Liberty University, Dr. Woodbridge continues to inspire others with her message that, while grief is universal, joy can still be reclaimed through faith, storytelling, and love. In this episode, Dr. Woodbridge shares:

As Sukkot begins, Mijal and Noam revisit a favorite episode about what it really means to live with fragility and joy.

Amy Tarpein's world changed forever when doctors told her that her eight-month-old son Elijah, diagnosed with an extremely rare brain malformation called Lissencephaly, wouldn't live to see his second birthday. Instead of shrinking from this devastating news, this remarkable single mother of ten made a life-altering decision: if her son's time was limited, she would fill it with as many experiences as possible.What began as a mother's determination to create beautiful memories transformed into "Elijah's Baby Bucket List," now a thriving platform reaching 2.6 million people monthly. Seven years later—far beyond the doctors' predictions—Elijah continues to explore the world, breaking barriers and changing perceptions about what's possible for children with disabilities.During our conversation at the Abilities Expo in Chicago, Amy reveals how her journey connected her with other families navigating accessible travel, particularly Corey Lee and his mother Sandy. This serendipitous friendship blossomed into collaboration, with Amy and Sandy now co-hosting retreats specifically for mothers of children with disabilities. "When these ladies came together," Amy shares, "it was like they had known each other their whole lives." Her philosophy, captured in her book "Braver Together," emphasizes the strength found in community and the transformative power of shared experiences.Perhaps most striking is Amy's perspective on limitation and possibility. "Never judge somebody based on what you can see," she advises, "because you absolutely have no idea what lays underneath. You might be judging somebody who is absolutely limitless." Fueled by what she laughingly calls "copious amounts of coffee," along with patience, faith, and community, Amy demonstrates how challenging circumstances can become catalysts for movements that touch countless lives. Follow their remarkable journey at elijahsbabybucketlist.com and across social platforms—and remember that sometimes the most powerful response to limitation is choosing joy.
