Grandma Bernie is giving us all the keys on how to live a long healthy life! Plus DCS tell us how Baby Bash hooked up all his renters for Christmas and talks about the "golden ratio" which tell us what is considered beautiful and who is the most beautiful woman in Hollywood by the "golden ratio' standard.
It's beginning to sound a lot like Christmas. And when, exactly, is it okay to start listening to Tiny Tim's playlist of Tinsel Tunes? Robbie and Jay tackle the tough issue of timing: can you listen to Jingle Bells prior to Thanksgiving? Or will Grandma get run over by a reindeer if you get ahead of the game? Then, once it is allowable to listen, what style is preferred? Jay promotes his subscription music service and Robbie runs through the seemingly endless list of Christmas music channels on SiriusXM. Art was out enjoying a potluck (did he get the better end of the deal?), but the remaining Guys had Geeks of the Week, of course. Jay is grateful he got his personalized Funko Pop figure before the company goes out of business, and will probably have to rely on eBay to complete his collections. R obbie takes listeners through the trials and troubles of the Walking Dead lawsuits (can zombies sue?), and shares news of yet another potential streaming service takeover that could shake up the whole game. Listen and sing along: this one is Holly Jolly.

Some moments don't wait for permission — they announce themselves the second you open the car door. Our first story begins on an ordinary day in 2004… until a reflection in a minivan window shows someone standing in the front yard who shouldn't be there. A stranger. A woman. Walking calmly across the grass as if she belongs there. That would've been strange enough. But what makes this story unforgettable is not what was seen… but when it was seen. Because sometimes a reflection isn't just a trick of the light. Sometimes it's a message you weren't meant to miss. A family gathering, a celebration, a day that should have been simple — and in the middle of it, an unexpected glimpse into a moment that didn't belong to the living. A moment the storyteller couldn't explain, and still can't stop thinking about years later. #GhostReflection #RealGhostStoriesOnline #ParanormalEncounter #SpiritSightings #UnexplainedReflections #HauntedMoments #LeapYearCurse #GhostlyAppearances #TrueGhostStory #SeenBeforeSheWasGone Love real ghost stories?

Send me a Text Message!Lee Stroebel shares a Christmas story that ends with this summary. And at that moment, something inside of me wanted desperately to know this Jesus because, in a sense, I saw him in Perfecta and her granddaughters. They had peace despite poverty, while I had anxiety despite plenty; they knew the joy of generosity, while I only knew the loneliness of ambition; they looked heavenward for hope, while I only looked out for myself; they experienced the wonder of the spiritual, while I was shackled to the shallowness of the material and something made me long for what they had. Or, more accurately, for the One they knew.In this episode, I'll tell their story, so that we can add to our Christmas prayer, "Come Lord Jesus and give me a heart like Grandma Perfecta!"

***Today's story is a special Christmas episode written for YOU, Dad and Mom, Grandma and Grandpa. There's nothing inappropriate for little ears, but the story is written from an adult perspective and may be over the heads of littles.***In this intimate episode, Mary, the mother of Jesus, reflects on the humble manger, the shepherds' declaration, and the profound truth she discovered: in her weakness God's plan was being accomplished. From the stable to the cross, she traces how surrender and trust revealed the miraculous, and how a mother's weakness became the place where God's strength shone brightest.Learn more about Ms. Adventure's Treehouse by joining our Facebook or Instagram communities or connect with Charity at msadventurestreehouse@gmail.com.

But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now.” We all know the importance of being fully present. But what does deep presence actually look like? Meet my Auntie MaryAnn… A mother of 5, a grandmother of 10, a lover of all animals, MaryAnn is a special blend of love I've rarely experienced. “Katie!” She exclaimed when I saw her last week on a trip my family and I took to hang with her daughter (and one of my closest friends) Jackie. “I'm so kitzeled to spend time with you tomorrow!” Referring to our scheduled walk the three of us would take the next day. She went on to explain, “kitzeled in Jewish means everything inside of me is bursting with excitement to see you!” I melted a bit in that moment as I blinked away a few happy tears. To be seen as that important to someone felt like a warm bear hug. When was the last time you felt that? When was the last time you made someone else feel that? The next day, Auntie MaryAnn arrived at the house and as Jackie's daughter rounded the corner of the hall and saw her grandma, her eyes lit up and her smile spread wide across her face. “Grandma!” She said as the two embraced. Everything inside of her was bursting with excitement to see her granddaughter too. And her granddaughter felt it. She felt seen and loved. Our walk began and my aunt told us stories and asked us about our lives. She listened intensely, open and curious, slow to respond so as to make sure we had the space to share anything we needed to. She was the embodiment of presence. When she did respond, she spoke words of encouragement and wisdom. I felt seen and loved. By the end of our time together, I turned to her and said, “Auntie MaryAnn, you have a gift for making a person feel like they're the only person who exists in the world.” She smiled in the knowing way loving, wise women do and hugged me. “I love you, and I'm so proud of you.” She whispered in my ear. The tears rose in my eyes immediately and my throat locked up. Something deep within me healed in that moment. And she was the angel who healed it. Just because she saw me. Just because she was present with me. The Impact of Deep Presence I'll be the first to admit that I can get caught up in the rush of life. There's work to do, animals to feed, dishes to put away, clothes to wash and a constant movement to the days. But then my daughter taps on my side and looks at me with her beautiful chocolate eyes and asks, “Mom, can we dance?” She pulls me back into the present moment and reminds me that life is lived right now. I lose myself in the motion of our dance and when our eyes lock, I can see the same warmth spread through her the same way it did through me when Auntie MaryAnn was present with me. I see her. And she feels it. How do you feel when you are seen? When someone's full attention is in the present moment with you? What heals inside of you? What possibilities arise? How much deeper do your roots grow? How much more sun is in your sky? The impact of presence is that the love that connects us flows freely and abundantly. Without ego. Without urgency. For us to give. For us to receive. And in this flow, we become a little more brave to be fully ourselves. And isn't that the whole point? Today, I propose you take a lesson from my Auntie MaryAnn and show up to a conversation, a moment, or an interaction with your full attention. With openness and curiosity and a whole lotta kitzel.

There's work to do, animals to feed, dishes to put away, clothes to wash and a constant movement to the days. But then my daughter taps on my side and looks at me with her beautiful chocolate eyes and asks, “Mom, can we dance?” She pulls me back into the present moment and reminds me that life is lived right now. I lose myself in the motion of our dance and when our eyes lock, I can see the same warmth spread through her the same way it did through me when Auntie MaryAnn was present with me. I see her. And she feels it. How do you feel when you are seen? When someone's full attention is in the present moment with you? What heals inside of you? What possibilities arise? How much deeper do your roots grow? How much more sun is in your sky? The impact of presence is that the love that connects us flows freely and abundantly. Without ego. Without urgency. For us to give. For us to receive. And in this flow, we become a little more brave to be fully ourselves. And isn't that the whole point? Today, I propose you take a lesson from my Auntie MaryAnn and show up to a conversation, a moment, or an interaction with your full attention. With openness and curiosity and a whole lotta kitzel.

But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now.” We all know the importance of being fully present. But what does deep presence actually look like? Meet my Auntie MaryAnn… A mother of 5, a grandmother of 10, a lover of all animals, MaryAnn is a special blend of love I've rarely experienced. “Katie!” She exclaimed when I saw her last week on a trip my family and I took to hang with her daughter (and one of my closest friends) Jackie. “I'm so kitzeled to spend time with you tomorrow!” Referring to our scheduled walk the three of us would take the next day. She went on to explain, “kitzeled in Jewish means everything inside of me is bursting with excitement to see you!” I melted a bit in that moment as I blinked away a few happy tears. To be seen as that important to someone felt like a warm bear hug. When was the last time you felt that? When was the last time you made someone else feel that? The next day, Auntie MaryAnn arrived at the house and as Jackie's daughter rounded the corner of the hall and saw her grandma, her eyes lit up and her smile spread wide across her face. “Grandma!” She said as the two embraced. Everything inside of her was bursting with excitement to see her granddaughter too. And her granddaughter felt it. She felt seen and loved. Our walk began and my aunt told us stories and asked us about our lives. She listened intensely, open and curious, slow to respond so as to make sure we had the space to share anything we needed to. She was the embodiment of presence. When she did respond, she spoke words of encouragement and wisdom. I felt seen and loved. By the end of our time together, I turned to her and said, “Auntie MaryAnn, you have a gift for making a person feel like they're the only person who exists in the world.” She smiled in the knowing way loving, wise women do and hugged me. “I love you, and I'm so proud of you.” She whispered in my ear. The tears rose in my eyes immediately and my throat locked up. Something deep within me healed in that moment. And she was the angel who healed it. Just because she saw me.

The next day, Auntie MaryAnn arrived at the house and as Jackie's daughter rounded the corner of the hall and saw her grandma, her eyes lit up and her smile spread wide across her face. “Grandma!” She said as the two embraced. Everything inside of her was bursting with excitement to see her granddaughter too. And her granddaughter felt it. She felt seen and loved. Our walk began and my aunt told us stories and asked us about our lives. She listened intensely, open and curious, slow to respond so as to make sure we had the space to share anything we needed to. She was the embodiment of presence. When she did respond, she spoke words of encouragement and wisdom. I felt seen and loved. By the end of our time together, I turned to her and said, “Auntie MaryAnn, you have a gift for making a person feel like they're the only person who exists in the world.” She smiled in the knowing way loving, wise women do and hugged me. “I love you, and I'm so proud of you.” She whispered in my ear. The tears rose in my eyes immediately and my throat locked up. Something deep within me healed in that moment. And she was the angel who healed it. Just because she saw me. Just because she was present with me. The Impact of Deep Presence I'll be the first to admit that I can get caught up in the rush of life. There's work to do, animals to feed, dishes to put away, clothes to wash and a constant movement to the days. But then my daughter taps on my side and looks at me with her beautiful chocolate eyes and asks, “Mom, can we dance?” She pulls me back into the present moment and reminds me that life is lived right now. I lose myself in the motion of our dance and when our eyes lock, I can see the same warmth spread through her the same way it did through me when Auntie MaryAnn was present with me. I see her. And she feels it. How do you feel when you are seen? When someone's full attention is in the present moment with you? What heals inside of you? What possibilities arise? How much deeper do your roots grow? How much more sun is in your sky? The impact of presence is that the love that connects us flows freely and abundantly. Without ego. Without urgency. For us to give. For us to receive. And in this flow, we become a little more brave to be fully ourselves. And isn't that the whole point? Today, I propose you take a lesson from my Auntie MaryAnn and show up to a conversation, a moment, or an interaction with your full attention. With openness and curiosity and a whole lotta kitzel.

In this heartfelt episode, Kim sits down with Karen Carlson, author of the Amazon bestselling book "Peacefully Parenting Adult Children." Karen shares her powerful PEACE framework that helps mothers navigate the shifting dynamics with their grown kids. Together, they explore why perfection doesn't exist in family relationships and how asking simple questions can transform connections. Karen opens up about her own experience caring for her granddaughter during deployment and the wisdom she gained from that two-and-a-half-year-old's words: "Grandma, calm down." This conversation offers hope for moms who feel like they're walking on eggshells, providing practical strategies to move from conflict to connection. Whether you're dealing with one-word texts from your sons or navigating relationships with in-laws, this episode reminds you that peaceful parenting isn't about getting it perfect, it's about staying flexible, asking for what you need, and remembering you don't have to have all the answers.Grab your Connected Parent Playbook: www.BeWellFreeGift.comFollow Karen here: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bewellandrenewInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bewellandrenew/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/BeWellKaren/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bewellandrenew/Grab Your Free Course and Motivational Book: The Parent's Repair Kit and How to Use the L.O.V.E.

Is the vibe doom, boom, or mellow in-between? Nancy walks us through the restaurant openings shaping 2025, the spots she loves, the ones that let her down, and the trends taking over New York—while we compare them to LA's little-gem-salad, Bub-and-Grandma's-bread era.We also get into the NY food-media moment: the new critics at The New York Times, the rise of Feed Me and J. Lee's podcast, and what it means for how diners discover restaurants. Then it's Michelin time—what shocked Nancy in the 2025 Guide, how New Yorkers actually use it, and how it stacks up to LA's still-evolving Michelin culture.From impossible New York reservations to Blackbird's traction on both coasts, we break down how people are actually eating, booking and talking about restaurants right now. And yes, Nancy finally answers the question every Angeleno secretly wants to know: In 2025, does New York respect LA dining?Then we close with a special Chef's Kiss / Big Miss lightning round featuring:• turkey prices soaring 70%• Meadow Lane, NYC's new luxury-grocery fever dream• the rise of $945 caviar advent calendars• Bukayo Saka's deranged childhood breakfastIf you love restaurant culture, food media, LA vs NY banter, or just need a Thanksgiving distraction, this one is for you.

The nationwide redistricting war is in full effect as President Trump is determined to keep a Republican majority in 2026. If Democrats get back into power they will begin their impeachment campaign and do everything they can to stop President Trump and the mandate he was elected to fulfill. Today on the Sean Spicer Show we are going to walk through every state that is in the mix. If it wasn't for Texas going on offense, Democrats plan was to sue and litigate their way to a majority. Texas' new congressional map picks up 5 seats for Republicans, but California's Prop 50 potentially picks up 5 seats for Democrats. Adam walks us through every state that Republicans are moving forward with redistricting efforts, then every state where Democrats are redistricting. This could end with a few different outcomes and Adam lays out the probable scenarios and ultimately if Republicans will maintain the majority in 2026.

Have you ever sat at Thanksgiving wishing it felt more like home and less like a performance? In this episode, I share my own Thanksgiving journey — from childhood chaos in Grandma's bustling kitchen, to quiet, lonely single‑mom holidays, to rebuilding traditions rooted in love and laughter. We lean into Psalm 107 to explore how God meets us when we feel lost, when we cry out, and when we're finally being filled again. Whether this Thanksgiving feels heavy or hopeful, we'll reflect together with gentle questions to help you name where you are and what your heart truly longs for. If you're craving a deeper rhythm of rest, presence, and purpose, I'd love to walk with you into Rhythms of Renewal in January — register before December 1 to save $50 at mom2mommentoring.com/renewal.

Some houses carry their past openly. Others keep it buried until someone takes a piece of it with them. She grew up in a place most people in town whispered about—a former “sick house” from the early 1900s, the kind of building where hope was a gamble and survival wasn't guaranteed. Her grandmother filled the home with antiques, forgotten belongings, and items with histories no one really questioned. It was cluttered, chaotic, and strangely alive in a way she didn't fully understand until years later. When her grandmother passed, she gathered a handful of things—simple, ordinary objects—and moved into a new home with her fiancé and roommates. But almost immediately, the atmosphere shifted. Rooms felt different. Sounds seemed intentional. And a late-night candle test meant to debunk it all only raised more questions about what had really come with her… and what hadn't stayed behind. The strange part? Once she left, her old house went silent.
