Once again we find ourselves with a blend of serious and unserious coaches, with some coaches happy to park their Ethan S. ferraris and troll fantasy coaches with a third Ethan in the halves, while others trot out what is obviously a round 1 team list (or close to it). We unveil what we are looking for in these trial matches, and a surprise elite gun dual centre/wing fullback option we are looking at for round 1 if the chips fall his way.    Link to the NRL Fantasy Amateurs Discord: https://discord.gg/XraJe9vFzp If you like the show, don't forget to check out our new ”Good Friends of the Show” exclusive member package, featuring members only discord channel, individual player analysis, tactical game theory content, and personalised team review and trade assistance.

What would change if your inner critic had a microphone and your best friend could hear every word? We put that scenario to work and build a practical way to answer harsh self-talk with grounded compassion. Instead of arguing with the critic or pretending it isn't there, we slow down, test its claims, and invite the voice of a true friend to sit at the table with us.We start by imagining our most judgmental thoughts broadcast aloud, then ask a simple question: how would a caring friend respond? That shift unlocks clarity. Suddenly, “I'm incompetent” becomes “I made a mistake and I'm learning.” “I'm unworthy” turns into “I matter even when I miss the mark.” Along the way, we separate facts from exaggerations, replace sweeping labels with specific observations, and learn language that pairs honesty with warmth. This is not empty positivity; it is accurate compassion that acknowledges error without attacking identity.Then we flip the lens. Picture a friend speaking about themselves with the same cruelty. What would you say to them? Most of us instinctively challenge the lies, point to real strengths, and offer steps forward. We bring that same approach inward: write the critic's claim in one line, answer it like a friend in one paragraph, and list three pieces of evidence that support your competence, worth, or likability. The effect is cumulative—less shame, more energy for growth, and a steadier mind when challenges arise.By the end, you'll have a repeatable exercise to calm negative self-talk, build resilience, and strengthen self-trust. If this practice helps you breathe a little easier and stand a little taller, share it with someone who needs a kinder inner voice today. Subscribe, leave a review, and tell us: what would your best friend say to you right now?Support the showCertify To Teach Mindfulness: Certify.MindfulnessExercises.com Email: Sean@MindfulnessExercises.com Mindfulness Exercises with Sean Fargo is a practical, grounded mindfulness podcast for people who want meditation to actually help in real life.

CIA Director Bill Burns' past meetings with Jeffrey Epstein have raised serious concerns about the extent of Epstein's influence over powerful government figures. At the time of their encounters in 2014, Burns was serving as Deputy Secretary of State, while Epstein had already been a registered sex offender for six years following his 2008 conviction. Despite Epstein's criminal record and widely known reputation, Burns reportedly met with him multiple times, including at Epstein's townhouse in Manhattan. The alleged purpose of these meetings was to seek career advice on transitioning to the private sector—an explanation that only deepens the discomfort surrounding such a relationship. For a high-ranking diplomat to consult a convicted sex offender for professional guidance signals either shockingly poor judgment or a normalization of Epstein's continued access to the elite.What makes the situation even more troubling is the lack of transparency from government institutions. The CIA has issued vague assurances that the meetings were harmless and limited, but they have not explained why a senior U.S. official would be turning to Epstein for any form of counsel in the first place. Meanwhile, the White House has refused to comment. These evasions come at a time when public trust in the Epstein investigation is already eroded, and they only reinforce the perception that Epstein's true reach into the halls of power is being deliberately downplayed. Rather than distancing themselves, powerful figures like Burns engaged with Epstein long after it was publicly indefensible to do so—a pattern that continues to cast a shadow over the entire investigation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein's Private Calendar Reveals Prominent Names, Including CIA Chief, Goldman's Top Lawyer (msn.com)

Let It Blow Through  by Maggie Wheeler   Let it blow through, let it blow through. Open up the windows of your soul, and let it blow through. Hard times come, and hard times go, let it blow through. Open up the windows of your soul, and let it blow through. Hard times come and hard times go, let it blow. Open up the windows of your soul, and let it blow through.   63. Awaken Me by Abigail Spinner McBride   1. Open my eyes to the miracles around me, wake me up, wake me up. (2x) 3. Shake me from my sleep and stir me from my dreaming. Chorus: Awaken me. (4x)   113. Borrow Trouble by Patricia Norton Let me not borrow this trouble ahead of time. Let me not carry this sorrow before it's mine. It will come when it comes, and go when it goes. I will know; I will know. It will come when it comes and go when it goes, I will know. My trust and love are banks on the river where grief and praise can find a flow. My tender heart, it floats on the ocean. The waves come. The waves go.   161. Good Friend  by Jan Harmon Oh the wind, it is a song that harbours through the winter, Oh the sail, it is a door that bids the song to enter, And let us sail the sea, good friend, And let us sing together, The singer lasts a season long, While the song, it lasts forever.   204. May the Way Open Before You by Ana Hernández May the way open before you. May you see beyond darkness and light to the love you are; to the love you bring into the world.   6.
