The Rizz Show has officially abandoned March Music Mayhem… because apparently Breaking Benjamin winning every single year got a little predictable. So this year we're doing something way more dangerous: March Movie Mayhem.That's right — 32 legendary 90s movies enter the bracket, and only ONE survives. Action movies, teen comedies, horror classics, and iconic dramas are all battling it out in a full-blown cinematic showdown. We're talking Shawshank Redemption vs Fight Club, Pulp Fiction vs The Matrix, Tommy Boy vs Austin Powers, and yes… some of these matchups feel like emotional crimes.The gang debates which movies deserve to survive round one, which films might sneak in as dark horses, and why trying to pick the greatest movie of the 90s might be the most impossible task since explaining the plot of The Big Lebowski to someone who's never seen it.Listeners can fill out their own bracket for a chance to win Pointfest tickets and a giant basket of 90s nostalgia (because Learn loves bundling baskets more than most people love their own family).But the movie madness is just the beginning.We also dive into the latest Oscars chaos, including Conan O'Brien roasting Hollywood, Timothée Chalamet accidentally starting a war with the opera and ballet community, and the ongoing tradition of people pretending they watched all the nominated movies when they absolutely did not.Elsewhere in today's show:• The Oscars recap nobody asked for but you're getting anyway• Michael B. Jordan's big win and the speech everyone actually liked• A tribute to legendary filmmaker Rob Reiner• Why Glenn Danzig buying kitty litter somehow broke the internet• Motorhead news that surprised the entire rock world• Bert Kreischer's tour bus literally catching fire• And the wild rumor about an actor secretly dating an AI chatbotPlus we wrap things up with birthdays, ridiculous celebrity gossip, and the kind of conversations that make this comedy podcast feel like hanging out with friends who absolutely should not have microphones.If you love movies, pop culture chaos, and sarcastic morning show nonsense, this episode of The Rizz Show delivers all of it.And remember: when the brackets start, friendships may end.Because picking between The Matrix and Pulp Fiction should probably require therapy.This episode of The Rizzuto Show is your daily dose of ridiculousness — a comedy podcast fueled by nostalgia, weird news, and the kind of debates that can only happen when a group of radio hosts start arguing about 90s movies before the coffee kicks in.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.

This Troutbitten Skills Series and these platforms are an effort to pass along the idea that fly selection doesn't have to be regimented or complicated. Instead, see flies for what they have in common. Find their similarities rather than their differences. Choose the elements that matter most to you. Find the components of a fly that create enough of a distinction to be the keys to a platform, and build around that idea.I do think some things are undeniable, and almost every angler is going to classify a parachute the same way. That might be true for upright hackles and down wings too.But I'm sure you've noticed that the further we got into this season, the less specific each platform became. And again, that's just because there are only so many things you can put on a dry fly and still have it be successful.Most of the more recent flies designed take their cues from what came before them. Honestly, I assume that will hold true going into the future too.My friends Bill Dell, Austin Dando and Matt Grobe join me for the conclusion of Season 18.ResourcesPODCAST: Troutbitten | Fly Tying - Essential Tools and More (S17 Ep9)READ: Troutbitten | Pattern vs PresentationPODCAST: Troutbitten | Fishing Dry Flies - Dry Fly Skills Series  (S12)VisitTroutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten FacebookThanks to TroutRoutes:Use the code TROUTBITTEN for 20% off your membership athttps://maps.troutroutes.com Thanks to SkwalaUse the code, TROUTBITTEN10 for 10% off your order athttps://skwalafishing.com/

Why does making friends feel so much harder as an adult? In a world where we're more connected online than ever before, why are so many people feeling deeply lonely? In this episode, Dr. Lauryn sits down with author, speaker, and friendship expert Shari Leid to explore the hidden crisis of adult friendship and why so many successful, driven people still feel disconnected in their daily lives. From friendship breakups to the pressure of building new relationships later in life, this conversation uncovers the emotional realities many people silently struggle with.Together, Lauryn and Shari dive into the loneliness epidemic, why friendship breakups can hurt as much as romantic ones, and how modern life has quietly eroded our sense of community. Shari shares lessons from her journey traveling the United States and meeting with women from every walk of life to better understand belonging, connection, and what truly builds lasting friendships. If you've ever felt like it's harder than it should be to make or maintain meaningful relationships as an adult, this episode offers practical insight and hope for creating deeper connections in your life.Key Takeaways:• Adult friendship requires intentionality. Unlike childhood or college friendships formed through proximity, meaningful adult friendships often require deliberate effort, shared environments, and consistent interaction to grow.• Friendship breakups are more common—and more painful—than most people realize. Normalizing the idea that friendships evolve or end can help people process those changes without shame or unnecessary self-blame.• Loneliness is a growing health crisis. Building community, practicing curiosity in conversation, and focusing on genuine connection can dramatically improve emotional wellbeing and long-term life satisfaction.About the Guest:Shari Leid is a nationally recognized keynote speaker, author, and connection expert dedicated to helping people build deeper relationships in an increasingly disconnected world. She is the creator of the Flip the Box Method, a human-centered leadership approach designed to foster belonging and meaningful connection. Shari is the bestselling author of multiple books including Table for 51, inspired by her journey traveling across the United States to share meals with women in every state. Her work has been featured on NBC's Today Show, ABC, CBS, FOX, and in publications including Time, HuffPost, and Shondaland.Find all things Shari Leid by visiting her website, An Imperfectly Perfect LifeFollow Shari on InstagramResourcesFollow Dr. Lauryn: Instagram | X | LinkedIn | FacebookFollow She Slays on YouTubeSign up for the Weekly Slay newsletter!Mentioned in this episode:Learn more about Sunlighten Saunas and get your She Slays discount by clicking the link below!She Slays Associates Job BoardTo learn more about CLA and the INSiGHT scanner go to the link below and enter code SHESLAYS when prompted.CLADo you need help in your practice with the busy work that you or your staff don't like doing?

Friendship is not optional in the Christian life—it’s essential. Lauren Fletcher highlights how God designs relationships to encourage, support, and help us grow in Christ. By sharing our struggles, confessing sin, and offering genuine care, we reflect God’s love to one another. True friendships sharpen us, lift us up in times of need, and create a community where His love is experienced and expressed. Highlights Encouragement: Friends help us persevere and remind us of God’s truth (1 Thessalonians 5:11). Spiritual Growth: “As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend” (Proverbs 27:17). Support in Hardship: Care packages, prayer, and practical help show Christ’s love in action. Confession & Healing: Sharing struggles removes shame and brings healing (James 5:16; Galatians 6:1-2). Together We Thrive: Ecclesiastes reminds us that life is better lived with others; multiple relationships strengthen resilience (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12). Love in Action: By loving friends authentically, God’s love is manifested in us. Intersecting Faith & Life God did not intend for us to walk through life alone. Whether it’s encouragement in a hard season, spiritual accountability, or practical support, friends reflect His heart and make the Christian journey sustainable and joyful. Cultivating and investing in these relationships honors God and enriches our daily walk. This episode is sponsored by Trinity Debt Management. If you are struggling with debt call Trinity today.

No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us.” - 1 John 4:11-12 I have been blessed with many close friends. It wasn’t always that way, though. There was a time when I didn’t share much about myself with others. I hid the “not pretty” part of my life in a figurative coat closet, with the bad memories boxed up on the top shelf. There were things I had learned that you do not talk about. All of this changed when I started a new season of small groups at church. Within safe spaces, I learned I could share my life with others and be fully accepted. This surprised me. I realized the closet had to be opened, and the memories, one by one, taken off the shelf, boxes opened, and shared with others. What I learned was that friendship is a blessing and absolutely essential to the Christian life. In friendship, we encourage each other and help each other grow. I have a friend with a gift for encouragement. I call her sometimes for a “pep talk.” She has a great way of encouraging me in the Lord and reminding me of the truth. I can come with my difficult circumstances and prayer requests and leave with a sense of hope. I am so grateful to her. In 1 Thessalonians, it says, “So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing” (1 Thessalonians 5:11). It is so important to encourage each other because life can get difficult. We need each other’s help to keep going. As friends, we also help each other grow. In Proverbs, it says, “As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend” (Proverbs 27:17). We make each other better in Christ. We help each other in times of need. As I joined a women’s group at my church, I saw this firsthand. Meeting around the fire, I’d hear women share their stories and what they were going through. Each person was met with support and love. Sometimes, we’d support each other through care packages, times of prayer, or even meal trains. This showed me how to love others in their hard seasons, how to be there for them. 1 John 4:11-12 says, “Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us.” As we put our love into action, we show each other the love of Christ. We confess our sins to each other. I remember in college, I was struggling with sin. At some point, I confessed this sin to a friend of mine, who listened, supported me, and compassionately shared helpful scripture with me. What happened was I no longer felt alone in things or hidden in shame. In Galatians 6, Paul says, “Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself. Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:1-2). What I found in sharing these hard things with friends is that we begin to fight this battle together—I am no longer by myself in it. It also removes the shame that I feel, which causes me to hide sin. Coming into the light, my friends have been waiting and ready to help. In James, it says, “Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results” (James 5:16). When we stop hiding our sin from each other and from God, He can heal us. Intersecting Faith & Life: As I’ve continued to learn about friendship, I've found that friends help pick each other up. In Ecclesiastes, it says, “Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10). The writer continues, “A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken” (Ecclesiastes 4:12). I pray that you find these things to be true in your friendships as well. God did not create us to be alone or to walk out this life by ourselves. I pray that God will bring you the right people at the right time and strengthen the relationships you already have. Lord, thank You for friendship. Thank You that you intended for us to walk through life with others. Thank You for the good plans You have for our lives (Jeremiah 29:11). I pray that You would bless my life with abundant relationships that reflect Your heart. Show me how to be a good friend. In Jesus’s name, Amen.

Friendship is not accidental in Jesuit life; it's foundational. Fr. Eric and Fr. Damian reflect on trust, vulnerability and the risk of being known, and how real friendship shapes ministry and discipleship. Grounded in Jesus' own invitation to friendship, this conversation explores how human relationships can quietly mirror divine love. About the show: Two Jesuits Talking is a Catholic podcast hosted by Fr. Eric Immel, SJ, and Fr. Damian Torres-Botello, SJ. Through candid, unscripted conversations, they explore Ignatian spirituality, Catholic life, ministry, culture, prayer and the everyday questions that shape modern faith. This isn't a lecture. It's not a debate show. It's two Jesuit priests talking honestly about what it means to follow Jesus today, with humor, depth and real friendship. Whether you're a practicing Catholic, spiritually curious, returning to the Church, or just interested in authentic conversations about faith, you're welcome here. During Lent, Two Jesuits Talking episodes will appear here on the AMDG feed every Saturday. After Easter, we'll move the show onto its own dedicated feed.

always been the most supportive, not only believing in Levente's work but secretly trusting in herself too.Hu: Rá akarta ébreszteni Leventét, mennyire fontos neki.En: She wanted to make Levente realize how important he was to her.Hu: Ágota pedig, aki mindent meg akart osztani blogján, érdeklődve tekintett körbe, hogy mesés történeteket találjon.En: Meanwhile, Ágota, who wanted to share everything on her blog, looked around curiously to find enchanting stories.Hu: A nap előrehaladtával a csapat Oia keskeny utcácskáin sétált.En: As the day progressed, the team strolled through the narrow streets of Oia.Hu: Minden sarkon újabb csoda és kihívás várta őket.En: At every corner, a new wonder and challenge awaited them.Hu: Levente és Ágota között tapintható volt a rivalizálás feszültsége.En: The tension of rivalry between Levente and Ágota was palpable.Hu: Mindketten ugyanazt az utánozhatatlan pillanatot keresték.En: Both sought the same inimitable moment.Hu: De Levente számára most többet jelentett ez a kép – egy lehetőséget, hogy ismét érezze a szenvedélyt hivatása iránt.En: But for Levente, the image meant more than ever—a chance to once again feel passionate about his profession.Hu: Miközben a hegyi ösvény mentén haladtak, észleltek egy masszív viharfelhőt, ami lassan Santorini fölé kúszott.En: While they walked along the mountain path, they noticed a massive storm cloud slowly creeping over Santorini.Hu: Levente, elragadtatva a pillanattól, elmerészkedett egy elhagyatott sziklára, ahonnan fantasztikus kilátás nyílt a kalderára.En: Enthralled by the moment, Levente ventured onto an abandoned rock from which there was a fantastic view of the caldera.Hu: Réka aggódva figyelte, és kérte, hogy térjen vissza biztonságba.En: Réka watched anxiously and urged him to return to safety.Hu: Az érkező vihar gyors döntést követelt tőle.En: The impending storm demanded a quick decision from him.Hu: "Levente, vigyázz magadra," szólt Réka, hangjából aggodalom csengett.En: "Levente, be careful," Réka called out, her voice tinged with concern.Hu: A fotós azonban érezte, hogy most vagy soha.En: However, the photographer felt it was now or never.Hu: Amint a szél megkavarta a levegőt és az esőcseppek megérkeztek, Levente elővette kameráját.En: As the wind stirred the air and raindrops arrived, Levente took out his camera.Hu: Majd, csodák csodájára, az égbolt tisztulni kezdett.En: Then, miraculously, the sky began to clear.Hu: A nap újból előbukkant, és egy feltűnő szivárvány ívesen jelent meg a kaldera fölött.En: The sun reappeared, and a striking rainbow boldly arched over the caldera.Hu: Levente elkapta a pillanatot.En: Levente captured the moment.Hu: A kamera kattant, és a kép tökéletes lett.En: The camera clicked, and the picture was perfect.Hu: Szinte kézzel fogható volt számára az újraélesztett szenvedélye.En: He could almost touch the reignited passion within him.Hu: Réka és Ágota visszatértek mellé, és együtt csodálták a lenyűgöző tájat.En: Réka and Ágota returned to his side, and together they admired the stunning landscape.Hu: A nap végére Levente nemcsak szakmai önbizalmat nyert vissza, hanem felismerte Réka támogatásának valódi értékét.En: By the end of the day, Levente not only regained his professional confidence but also recognized the true value of Réka's support.Hu: Megértette, hogy nemcsak a fókuszára kell figyelnie, hanem a barátok fontosságát is értékelnie kell.En: He understood that he needed not only to focus on his work but also to appreciate the importance of friendship.Hu: Santorini naplementéjében, Réka felé fordulva, a kihívások és a gyönyörűség amidőn mosolyogva nézett rá, Levente tudta, hogy megtalálta amit keresett – nem csupán egy képet, hanem valami sokkal mélyebbet is.En: In the sunset of Santorini, turning to Réka, as he looked at her amidst the challenges and beauty with a smile, Levente knew he found what he was looking for—not just a photo, but something much deeper.

In his book Letters to a Young PoetCelebrated author and poet  Rainer Maria Rilke wrote:“Be patient towards all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.”In 2025, with the publication of her beautiful book:How to Fall in Love with Questions: A New Way to Thrive in Times of UncertaintyJournalist and applied behavioral scientist, Elizabeth Weingarten carries Rilke's work forward. Through contemporary research, powerful storytelling, and her beautifully written prose,Elizabeth charts a new path for personal growth—a way to embrace the questions of our lives instead of seeking fast, easy answers.She writes:“What do you do when faced with a big, important question that keeps you up at night? Many people, understandably, seize answers dispensed by "experts," influencers, gurus, and more. But these fast, easy, one-size-fits-all solutions often fail to satisfy, and can even cause more pain.What if our questions—the ones we ask about relationships, work, meaning, identity, and purpose—are not our tormentors, but our teachers?”In today's conversation we'll explore the fascinating possibility of living the questions.  Elizabeth will share stories from her journey of discovering a fresh, evidence-based approach for navigating uncertainty. One inspired by Rilke's 150-year-old advice, and the moving stories of many others, whose lives have transformed through a different, and better, relationship with uncertainty.Elizabeth's work offers a powerful reminder:When we find the courage to love the questions of our livesIt opens the door the kind of self-discovery that's only possible when we feel most alive -That is, in the moments where don't know what will happen next.For more on Elizabeth, her book, and other offerings please visit elizabethweingarten.comEnjoying the show?

Friendship can be one of the most meaningful parts of our lives. It can also be one of the most vulnerable. This week on the podcast, I've been thinking about a phrase from the Old Testament that has stayed with me: "Consider your ways." As I sat in a lesson at church, I started thinking about my own relationships, my ministering, and the ways I show up for the people around me. Life gets busy. We focus on our families, our responsibilities, and the many demands of daily life. Sometimes without realizing it, we stop looking up long enough to see the people around us who might need connection, encouragement, or simply to be noticed. As someone who has spent years coaching teenagers through the challenges of making and maintaining friendships, I've realized that the struggles they face are often the same ones we experience as adults. We all want meaningful connection, but friendship can feel uncomfortable, risky, and sometimes even a little scary. In this episode, I talk about the "circles of friendship", why we naturally keep some people close for safety and trust, and how we can still reach outward to build connections with those around us. Who might be just outside your circle right now? This episode will give you suggestions on how to let them in.  Maybe friendship, like the temple in Haggai's time, is something we build one small piece at a time.

Story Transcript:Hu: A tavasz közeledett, de a zord tél utolsó lehelete még nem adta meg magát.En: Spring was approaching, but the bitter last breath of winter had not yet given up.Hu: Az edzőtábor a fák közötti tisztáson állt, magas fenyőfák védelmező karjai között.En: The training camp stood in a clearing among the trees, nestled in the protective embrace of tall pine trees.Hu: Ez a hely olyan volt, mintha egy másik világban lett volna, messze a városi nyüzsgéstől.En: This place was like being in a different world, far from the hustle and bustle of the city.Hu: Ez a nyugalom most azonban a vihar fokozódó fenyegetésével szemben állt.En: However, this tranquility now stood against the increasing threat of the storm.Hu: Gábor, Erika és László egy új napra készültek, de a meglepetés hamarosan rájuk talált.En: Gábor, Erika, and László were preparing for a new day, but the surprise found them soon.Hu: Hirtelen vastag hó kezdett hullni.En: Suddenly, thick snow began to fall.Hu: Az ég szinte eltűnt a sűrű hópelyhek fátyla mögött.En: The sky almost vanished behind the veil of dense snowflakes.Hu: Gábor, a csapat vezetője, tudta, hogy nehéz idők elé néznek.En: Gábor, the team leader, knew they were facing hard times.Hu: Mindig is arra törekedett, hogy biztosítsa mindenki biztonságát, de titokban rettegett a kudarctól.En: He always strived to ensure everyone's safety, but secretly he dreaded failure.Hu: "A tartalékokat gyorsan ellenőrizzük!En: "Let's quickly check the supplies!"Hu: " – javasolta Gábor, miközben beléptek a kunyhóba.En: suggested Gábor as they entered the hut.Hu: Erika és László segítettek neki.En: Erika and László helped him.Hu: Bár a tábor kis tartalékaihoz hozzányúltak, összefogásuk gyorsabbá, könnyebbé tette a dolgokat.En: Although they had to dip into the camp's small reserves, their teamwork made things faster and easier.Hu: "Meg kell osztanunk a feladatokat," mondta Gábor.En: "We need to divide the tasks," said Gábor.Hu: Erika a konyha körüli teendőket vállalta, míg László a tüzet tartotta életben.En: Erika took on the kitchen duties, while László kept the fire alive.Hu: A hideg már az ajtón kopogtatott.En: The cold was already knocking at the door.Hu: Az órák múltával a hóvihar egyre keményebb lett.En: As the hours passed, the snowstorm became fiercer.Hu: A szél süvített, a fákat hajlongásra kényszerítve.En: The wind howled, forcing the trees to sway.Hu: A szállás biztonsága érezhetően megingott.En: The safety of the shelter felt noticeably compromised.Hu: "Ki kell ásnunk a kunyhót, különben be fogunk szorulni," mondta Gábor, miközben feltette a sapkáját és vette az ásót.En: "We need to dig out the hut, otherwise we'll get trapped," said Gábor, putting on his hat and grabbing the shovel.Hu: Erika és László csatlakoztak hozzá.En: Erika and László joined him.Hu: Együtt ásták a havat, a munka összekovácsolta őket.En: Together, they shoveled the snow, their work forging a bond between them.Hu: Gábor érezte, hogy a félelmei lassan szertefoszlanak.En: Gábor felt his fears slowly fade away.Hu: A csapatmunkájuk erőt adott neki, és felismerte, hogy bízhat a többiekben.En: Their teamwork gave him strength, and he realized he could trust the others.Hu: A vihar egyre csak tombolt, de a három barát kitartott.En: The storm continued to rage, but the three friends persevered.Hu: A következő nap reggelén derengő napfény tört be a faágak közé.En: The next morning, dawning sunlight broke through the tree branches.Hu: Az átélt nehézségek után a tábor csendje most üdítő békét árasztott.En: After the hardships they faced, the silence of the camp now exuded refreshing peace.Hu: A hóvihar elcsendesedett, és a tábor újra biztonságos volt.En: The snowstorm had quieted, and the camp was safe once more.Hu: Gábor megállt egy pillanatra, és a tiszta levegőbe lélegezett.En: Gábor paused for a moment and took a deep breath of the crisp air.Hu: Véghezvitték, amit elterveztek.En: They had accomplished what they set out to do.Hu: Gábor most másképp érezte magát.En: Gábor felt different now.Hu: Már nem félt a kudarctól.En: He no longer feared failure.Hu: A vihar próbára tette őket, de ő és a társai kitartottak egymás mellett.En: The storm had tested them, but he and his companions stood by each other.Hu: Nagyszerű vezető volt, épp azért, mert hitt a csoport erejében.En: He was a great leader precisely because he believed in the power of the group.Hu: Ahogy a fák rügyei lassan kinyíltak, Gábor is újjászületett.En: As the buds on the trees slowly opened, Gábor was reborn as well.Hu: Azóta bármikor, amikor a nehézségek újra útjukba álltak, tudta, hogy Erika és László mellett semmi sem lehetetlen.En: Since then, whenever challenges stood in their path again, he knew that with Erika and László by his side, nothing was impossible.Hu: És így, együtt élhettek tovább, tudva, hogy bár az időjárás még egyszer próbára teheti őket, közös erejük mindig győzedelmes marad.En: And so, they could continue living together, knowing that although the weather might test them once more, their collective strength would always prevail.

Do real friendships sometimes feel confusing, overwhelming, or even impossible? In this final episode of the friendship series, we continue exploring the mindsets and practices that help create life-giving relationships—the kind of friendships many of us deeply want but aren't always sure how to build. One of the biggest shifts we can make is learning to move beyond surface-level relationships into friendships where honesty, feedback, and growth are welcomed. Healthy friendships aren't built on constant agreement or people-pleasing. They grow when we are willing to listen, speak truth in love, and sharpen each other in grace. In this episode, we talk about what it looks like to be open to feedback, how to lovingly challenge friends when needed, and why avoiding hard conversations can keep relationships stuck. We also discuss the role of emotional regulation in relationships and how unresolved pain or hopelessness can quietly sabotage connection. If you've ever longed for deeper friendships but aren't sure how to get there, this episode will help you take the next step. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?

Instructors can gain insights from training with other schools. Competition training fosters team bonding and personal growth. Friendships formed in martial arts can transcend competition. Respect and sportsmanship are vital in martial arts culture. Encouraging students to compete can help them grow. Stepping outside comfort zones expands personal boundaries. Instructors should communicate growth messages to parents as well. Community-based training events can benefit all participants. Growth comes from embracing discomfort. Accountability is essential for personal development. Instructors should model vulnerability and humility. Structured discomfort cultivates resilience and tenacity. Students may grow to love what they initially dislike. Mentorship enhances the learning experience for all. Competition can foster a healthy team environment. Community collaboration is vital in martial arts.

Struggling with social skills practice that actually feels natural? This week on the podcast, we're diving deep into practical, respectful ways to support our neurodivergent kiddos as they navigate friendships and social situations—without the cringe! From conversation entry points (aka scripts that don't turn our kids into social robots!) to playful, low-stakes role-playing at home, Colleen shares hands-on strategies to boost confidence and make socializing just a little easier for everyone involved. If "Just be yourself!" doesn't cut it in your house, you're not alone. Listen to this episode and help your kids build real-world connections, one conversation at a time. Key Takeaways: Scripts as Scaffolding, Not Life Sentences: Social scripts aren't rigid lines for kids to memorize forever. Instead, they serve as supportive "training wheels" to help neurodivergent kids enter, maintain, and exit conversations more naturally—reducing anxiety and offering footholds toward authentic communication. Practice Through Playful, Low-Stakes Moments: Avoid pressuring your child with public corrections or high-stakes rehearsal before social events. Instead, incorporate side-by-side role play, movie-pause coaching, and micro-practicing to gently build and reinforce social skills without making kids feel evaluated. Measure Progress by Initiative, Not Perfection: Success isn't about perfect eye contact or flawless conversation. Celebrate when your child initiates conversations, adapts their scripts into their own words, or asks to socialize again. These signs mean scripts are becoming real-world skills! Parenting and homeschooling neurodivergent kids is tough—but you're already doing amazing work just by showing up, learning, and supporting your child's unique journey.

Mia is late to the party. Despite “Let Them” being (one of) her Words Of The Year last year, she is finally listening to the Mel Robbins audio book — and she has thoughts. In this episode, Mia and Amelia unpack the complicated art of female friendships. From the 'scatterings' of marriage and kids to the isolation of running a business, is the secret to staying connected actually just... loosening your grip? But, while Mia is feeling a “massive unclenching”, Amelia is asking whether 'let them' is just a fancy way of being a passive friend? Plus, the '3-Word Rule' that might actually save your friendship.

This poem offers a humble love of the world and a leave-taking of it. It was found in the papers of Jane Mead (1958-2019), which were left to her great friend Kathleen Finneran (1957-2026), and it was published in the New Yorker in 2021 through Kathleen's efforts. The poem was read at the memorial for Mead in 2021 and then again at the funeral for Finneran in 2026. Here is the poem: I Wonder If I Will Miss the Moss —Jane Mead (1958-2019) I wonder if I will miss the moss after I fly off as much as I miss it now just thinking about leaving. There were stones of many colors. There were sticks holding both lichen and moss. There were red gates with old hand-forged hardware. There were fields of dry grass smelling of first rain then of new mud. There was mud, and there was the walking, all the beautiful walking, and it alone filled me— the smells, the scratchy grass heads. All the sleeping under bushes, once waking to vultures above, peering down with their bent heads the way they do, caricatures of interest and curiosity. Once too a lizard. Once too a kangaroo rat. Once too a rat. They did not say I belonged to them, but I did. Whenever the experiment on and of my life begins to draw to a close I'll go back to the place that held me and be held. It's O.K. I think I did what I could. I think I sang some, I think I held my hand out. For The New Yorker, see here. For a reflection on the poem by the poet Devin Kelly, see Kelly's Substack Ordinary Plots. For more on Jane Mead, see The Poetry Foundation. For the memorial service and the tribute by Kathleen Finneran, see Mead's personal webpage.

St. Louis musicians Eimear Arkins and Eileen Gannon have performed and toured together for years. The Irish fiddle and harp duo's new album, “The Belles of St. Louis” is a celebration of their musical friendship — and a nod to St. Louis' rich, and growing, traditional Irish music scene. Ahead of their annual St. Patrick's Day concert, they perform songs and tunes from the album, share tidbits on Irish music and culture, and discuss last summer's blockbuster hit, “Sinners,” which has spurred interest in Irish folk music among new audiences.

Send a textHave you ever paused in the middle of a full, beautiful life and asked yourself a deeper question, Am I living intentionally?In this episode of Small Beginnings with Sara, I reflect on what it means to live with purpose instead of simply reacting to life. Our calendars can fill quickly, but when we pause to ask God what truly matters in this season, everything begins to shift.Scripture reminds us in Ephesians 5:15–16 to live wisely and make the most of every opportunity. One way we do that is by identifying the purposes God has placed in front of us right now.In this conversation, I share the six purposes guiding my current season of life: • Communion with God • Loving my husband well • Investing in my children and grandchildren • Friendship and hospitality • Living with margin so I can serve others • Taking care of the body God gave meEach season carries different priorities, and when we recognize them, our days begin to align with what matters most.If you've been longing for more clarity, peace, and intentional living, this episode will encourage you to slow down, seek God's voice, and allow Him to shape how you spend your time, energy, and love.

You've all been asking for Jaci and Chelsey's thoughts on the latest season of The Traitors, and the moment has finally arrived. After kicking things off with reactions to Rob Rausch and Maura Higgins' wild season finale, the girls shift into a very different kind of traitor — the kind who signs a lifelong contract to love someone forever and then completely throws it out the window. Listeners submitted their most shocking divorce stories, and they have the What We Said girls absolutely shaken. From husbands cheating with their sisters-in-law to secret second homes and people packing up and disappearing without a shred of regret.
