If you’ve ever started a new medication and immediately felt worse—you’re not broken, and you’re definitely not alone.  In this episode, I’m diving into one of the most common and most frustrating experiences in the vestibular world: medication sensitivity. And more importantly, what to actually do about it. I’m breaking down why so many people with vestibular disorders struggle to tolerate new medications, how to wean on and off gradually to give yourself the best shot at success, and why going slow is actually the fastest way to feel better. We’re also talking about the nocebo effect—because what you expect from a medication can literally shape what you experience. Plus, I’m making a case for the most underutilized resource in your healthcare team: your pharmacist. Seriously, use them. They know things your doctor might miss. In this episode, we'll dig into: Why medication sensitivity is SO common in the vestibular community The case for weaning onto medications gradually What compounding pharmacies are & how they can be a game changer for hypersensitive people Why you need to understand the nocebo effect before starting a new medication How to tell the difference between “dizziness as a side effect” vs your chronic dizziness How to set yourself up for success when starting a new medication A tool you can use to take the guesswork out of medications Starting a new medication doesn’t feel like as much of a gamble when you know how to prepare, advocate for yourself, and you go slow. Following these tips, you give yourself the very best shot at finally feeling better.

Omar Al Shafie, Co-Founder of Teregen Ag digs into regenerative agriculture (pun intended)— specifically how mineralized worm castings and biodynamic farming practices are helping growers rebuild soil health and make their crops more resilient to increasingly volatile weather. We cover what's actually happening at the soil-biology level, how micronutrients play into natural pest resistance, and the practical (and economic) realities farmers face when moving away from conventional methods.I love how this product is not just for farmers, but for backyard growers and house plants. And that farmers who are nervous about not using conventional fertilizers and pesticides can ease into Teregen Ag, and use both - though it's not necessary... I also love that they have a foliar spray, and the vision Omar gives of the veins in the leaves absorbing the nutrients and directing them to the roots and stem to strengthen the plant. He said he can see the plant is more vibrant in just 1 day! You can tell that Omar is excited about this product - and he's been researching for a long time, even before Teregen Ag, so this feels like a perfect pairing.. You can shop and learn more about Teregen Ag here: https://teregenag.com/They're on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/teregenag/They're on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/people/Teregen-Ag/61576042121212/Send me a message!Support the showLike this episode?

The people closest to us often get the least unconditional acceptance from us. We hold our highest expectations for the ones we love most, and pull back when they fall short. But that's not how God treats me. Psalm 145 reminds me He's gracious and compassionate, meeting us where we are. Accepting someone doesn't mean approving of everything they do. You can speak hard truth while still making it clear they belong in your life. So ask yourself today: when the people closest to you make a real mistake, do they come to you, or do they hide it?Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside's conviction that God's grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God's presence and activity in your life.

It's June, your tomatoes are climbing, your corn is waist-high, and the internet is full of fertilizing advice—most of it missing the most important variable: timing. In this episode, we dig into what your vegetables need right now at mid-season, why nitrogen timing is the thing most gardeners get wrong, how fruiting crops and leafy crops have completely different needs, and when fertilizing can actually hurt instead of help. We'll cover how to read your plants for deficiency signs, how to side-dress correctly, and why the most common mid-season mistake isn't under-fertilizing—it's fertilizing at the wrong time with the wrong form. Grounded in university extension research and my own experience farming through Missouri summers, this one will give you a clear, crop-by-crop picture of what to do right now. Let's dig in. Crop-by-Crop Quick Reference: Mid-Season Nitrogen Timing LEAFY CROPS (lettuce, kale, chard, spinach, collards, arugula, basil) When to side-dress: 3–4 weeks after transplanting or when 2–3 inches tall; repeat every 4–6 weeks for heavy-harvesting crops Goal: steady nitrogen supply throughout season Note: don't exceed recommended rates—excess nitrogen increases pest/disease vulnerability COLE CROPS (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower) When to side-dress: approximately 30 days after transplanting, during active vegetative growth Hold off once head formation begins TOMATOES When to side-dress: when first fruits are approximately one-third grown (golf ball size) DO NOT apply nitrogen at transplant or during early fruit set—drives vegetative growth at expense of fruit Second application: 2 weeks after first ripe fruit; third: 4 weeks later Rate: 0.5 lb actual nitrogen per 100 feet of row per application PEPPERS When to side-dress: early vegetative growth before fruit set Pull back after fruit is setting SWEET CORN When to side-dress: when plants are approximately one-third grown (knee-high) Apply alongside rows, not into the whorl of leaves May benefit from a second application before tasseling CUCUMBERS / SQUASH / MELONS When to side-dress: after vines are well-established and fruit is setting regularly Not during early flowering window For squash with blossom drop only: do not add nitrogen—address pollination instead BEANS / PEAS (inoculated) Mid-season nitrogen side-dressing generally not needed if seeds were inoculated Extra nitrogen causes excessive leaf growth and reduced pod set If not inoculated: apply light nitrogen early in vegetative growth only Side-Dressing How-To Move mulch aside before applying; replace afterward Keep granular fertilizer 4–6 inches from plant stems to prevent burn Work granular into top 1–2 inches of soil Water in after application—nitrogen moves into the root zone with moisture Organic options: blood meal or alfalfa pellets (work in lightly; slower to show results); fish emulsion (liquid, faster uptake, more frequent application needed) Signs of Nutrient Deficiency Nitrogen: yellowing starting on oldest, lowest leaves; stunted or stalled growth Phosphorus: stunted growth; reddish-purple tint in leaf tissue (often triggered by cold soil, not low soil P) Potassium: browning at leaf edges, starting with older leaves Note: many of these symptoms overlap with stress from crowding, insufficient sun, compaction, waterlogged roots, or nematode damage—rule those out first Common Myths Addressed Myth: More fertilizer = more production. The research is clear: overapplied nitrogen causes excess vegetative growth at the expense of fruit, increases pest and disease vulnerability, and leaches into groundwater without benefiting plants. Myth: If plants look off, they need fertilizer. Nutrient deficiency symptoms look almost identical to symptoms of watering problems, compaction, pH issues, root damage, and pest pressure. Identify the actual cause before applying anything. Myth: Tomatoes need nitrogen all season long. Timing matters. Nitrogen during the early fruit-set window drives vegetative growth and reduces yields. Wait until fruit is sizing up before side-dressing. Myth: Beans and peas are heavy feeders like corn. Inoculated legumes fix their own nitrogen from the air. Additional nitrogen pushes leaf growth at the expense of pods.

This week on Growing we're discussing a fairly groundbreaking revelation: motherhood is amazing and also, very hard. Possibly the biggest slice of humble pie either of us have ever consumed. One universal truth remains - men could absolutely never.The constant questioning of am I doing enough? Am I doing this right? and the vulnerability that creeps in when comparison enters the chat. Beth reflects on life with the twins and how, with a little hindsight, some parts of this season have felt heavy. It's a lot… but gosh golly, it's worth it.Meanwhile Lil would like to formally acknowledge that she misses the era of spontaneous vinos with girlfriends. And can we all agree we are somehow simultaneously under and overstimulated at once? How is that possible. Science, explain.Beth has a bliss ball recipe to tackle the breastfeeding munchies and is currently loving the surprisingly elite shhhhhh setting on ErgoPouch Drift Away White Noise Machine⁠ — highly recommend giving it a whirl. Lil is recommending house slippers, ignoring the state of your floors, and stocking the freezer with these Shredded Mexican Beef Burritos⁠ because future you deserves support.A little love this week for Sound Slam a brilliant Aussie-created, play-based learning tool. Grounded in the science of reading, it helps little ones develop phonological awareness through connection, play and learning that genuinely feels fun (which frankly is the dream). Perfect for families wanting to build confidence before those school years arrive.As always, thank you Glimmer Girlies. Motherhood can feel enormous, beautiful, relentless and deeply humbling all at once — we see you, and we're so glad you're here

In this episode, Breht is joined by organizer, educator, and Marxist feminist scholar Comrade Gabi for a discussion on patriarchy, misogyny, and power within contemporary socialist and organizing spaces. Together they explore the relationship between capitalism and patriarchy, the contributions of Marxist feminism, the persistence of sexist attitudes and behaviors among those committed to liberation, the politics of the sex trade, and the challenges of building healthy cultures of accountability. Grounded in both theory and lived organizing experience, this conversation examines what it would take to cultivate a genuinely anti-patriarchal socialist movement capable of embodying the liberatory values it seeks to bring into the world.

If you ask people what they most want from the people closest to them, it usually comes down to one thing: to be understood. Not fixed, not corrected, not molded into someone else's image, just truly seen for who they are. This week we're drawing from Psalm 145, one of the richest portraits of God in all of Scripture, to explore what it means to love someone well. God knows exactly how each of us is formed, and He relates to us accordingly. When we take the time to understand the people we love, watching them, asking questions, listening without rushing to fix, we free them to grow in the direction they were actually designed to go. So here's the question worth sitting with today: who in your life needs to feel understood, and what would it take for you to really see them?Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside's conviction that God's grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God's presence and activity in your life.

In this episode of Parent Hope Podcast: Real Questions, Grounded Reflections, Jenny Brown and David Brown revisit some of the key themes raised in Jenny's conversation with Justin Coulson about raising boys. Rather than focusing on parenting techniques, they explore deeper questions: How do we raise boys without making them a project? How do parents avoid defining themselves through their children's successes and struggles? What has changed in childhood over the last fifty years, and what might boys be losing when freedom, responsibility and independence decline? Drawing on Bowen family systems theory, recent research on boys and childhood, and reflections on their own experiences, Jenny and David discuss how parents can stay connected without taking over, support growth without overprotecting, and help boys develop confidence, responsibility and purpose. A thoughtful conversation about boys, parenting, anxiety, and the challenge of raising capable young people in a changing world. Coulson, J.

Download Keynotes Slides Summary of the Message: The message “The Foundation of Fathers” emphasizes that fathers are part of God's design for helping children become who God created them to be. The main Scripture is Psalm 103:13–14, which says that as a father shows compassion to his children, the Lord shows compassion to those who fear Him, because He “knows our frame.” Pastor Hudson explains that “frame” means a person's God-given structure, design, gifts, and purpose. Fathers should therefore know their children's frame, nurture it, and not crush or impose another vision on them.  The main points: God is the model Father God knows our frame, understands our weakness, and responds with compassion. Earthly fathers should reflect that same compassion and understanding. Fathers must recognize and nurture a child's God-given design Children should not be forced into a parent's unrealized dreams. Fathers should help identify gifts, leadership traits, personality, and purpose, then guide those qualities with discipline and wisdom. A father's foundation has three dimensions: destiny, design, and duty A father's destiny is to show compassion and bring correction. His design is to tend, keep, cultivate, and protect what God has entrusted to him. His duty is to stand in the gates, lead the way, overcome obstacles, build for the future, and set standards. Correction is instruction, not simply punishment Pastor Hudson distinguishes correction from spanking, teaching that true correction involves explanation, modeling, training, and helping children learn to correct themselves. Fathers are gatekeepers and protectors Fathers should be involved in the places that shape their children—schools, communities, systems, and relationships—so they can discern whether those environments support or distort the child's God-given frame. Family legacy matters Proverbs 22:28 is used to show that fathers and forefathers set “landmarks”—standards, values, and examples—that help future generations know the right direction. The final responsibility is to listen, learn, lean, and love Children should listen to, learn from, lean on, and love their fathers—and all believers should do the same with the Heavenly Father. The message teaches that fathers are called to reflect God's compassion, understand their children's purpose, provide instruction and protection, and build a foundation that helps future generations walk in God's design.

Surviving crisis - from a Beirut hostage ordeal to losing every client overnight. Protect your family with life insurance from Ethos. Get up to $3 million in coverage in as little as 10 minutes at https://ethos.com/founded. Application times may vary. Rates may vary.  Dave Mason has survived two crises most people never face: being held hostage for 45 minutes in Beirut and every client cancelling in a single afternoon. Now he helps companies survive theirs.  ⚠️ Note: this episode contains a first-hand account of violence and trauma (a hostage situation and PTSD).  Listener discretion advised. In 2006, Dave Mason was reporting on displaced families in Beirut when his car was surrounded by a mob. For 45 minutes, he and his colleague held on in the back of that car, fighting for their lives, punched, robbed, and threatened- before, of all groups, Hezbollah ended up getting them to safety, and he was taken to meet the Prime Minister of Lebanon.  This is not the only crisis Dave has survived. From a media-obsessed teenager -  fired up by a single teacher's offhand comment - Dave built a 30-year career spanning local radio (he founded the much-loved Orchard FM), GMTV breakfast TV and NATO media training. Then he backed himself, financing a management buyout against his own pension to buy the agency he worked for. Three months later, COVID hit and every single client cancelled in one afternoon. This is how he rebuilt in 48 hours, turned crisis into a four-day-week business, and spun out Splutter -  a real-time social media crisis simulator now used in one of the world's largest financial-sector crisis exercises (1,000+ participants, Hong Kong).  Along the way: honest financial advice for freelancers, why local media still matters, what AI really means for PR, and why your health is worth more than the money. If you're a founder weighing up a risky bet, a management buyout, or how to survive when the market disappears overnight, this one's for you.  KEY TAKEAWAYS  1. Resilience is adaptability. Dave didn't survive COVID by waiting it out,  he rebuilt in 48 hours and pivoted his media training into a digital-first product. When the market vanishes, the move is to reshape what you offer, fast.  2. Use AI to amplify people, not replace them 3. Your health is the real wealth. Dave's line "if you've got your health, you are a millionaire" lands hard. Money is the trade-off freelancers make; protecting your wellbeing is what makes the success sustainable.  WHAT WE COVER - Beirut, 2006: 45 minutes that became a near-death experience - and the PTSD treatment that followed - The teacher's comment that lit the fire, and breaking into media with cold letters as a 15-year-old (75 rejection letters kept to this day) - Founding Orchard FM - why local radio mattered, and what we lost when the corporates took over - The freelance reality: "no show, no dough", saving for sickness, and the holiday that costs double - Financing a management buyout against your pension - and what the regulators put him through - The COVID afternoon every client vanished - and the 48-hour pivot that saved the business - Building Splutter: simulating thousands of hostile avatars to stress-test real organisations - What AI really means for PR, focus vs adaptability, and why careers only make sense looking backwards

Ephesians 3:14-21

Join us for our current series, "Grounded"

This powerful message challenges us to examine the foundation upon which we're building our lives by exploring one of Scripture's most confrontational moments: Jesus cleansing the temple. We're confronted with an uncomfortable question that the religious leaders asked Jesus: 'By what authority are you doing these things?' This isn't just ancient history. It's the question we must answer today as we navigate our daily decisions about money, time, relationships, and words. The sermon draws us into the parable of the tenants in Mark 12, where a landlord sends servant after servant to collect what's rightfully his, only to have them beaten and killed. The absurdity of the story mirrors our own resistance to divine authority. Yet at the heart of this message is a beautiful promise: when we recognize Jesus as the cornerstone, measuring every aspect of our lives against His truth rather than our own wisdom, the result is always 'marvelous in our eyes.' We're reminded that Jesus doesn't just want to be acknowledged; He wants authority to enter the temple of our lives and overturn the tables of sin that we've allowed to remain. The choice is ours: will we be like sovereign citizens rejecting authority and ending up bound and led away, or will we build on the cornerstone and experience the marvelous life God intends?

Tomorrow you're going to write a new chapter in your story, and the only real question is what kind of pen you'll be holding. All week in Exodus 14, we watched two million people stuck between the Red Sea and an army, caught in the cycle of fear, sarcasm, and worst-case thinking. But I've decided to throw in with Moses and plant my flag with the fear-not, stand-firm, expect-God's-help crowd. When I look back at everything God has already pulled off, parting waters and raising the dead throughout history, I can't find a single reason to believe He won't show up for me now. So what's the Red Sea in front of you, and which pen are you going to pick up?Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside's conviction that God's grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God's presence and activity in your life.

Many people don't lose their love for reading and deep thinking; they just get buried under responsibilities, distractions, and endless screens until their imagination quietly slips into the background. Today's guest, Barry J. “BJ” Spaulding, a former federal law enforcement officer and military veteran turned science fiction author, shows how stories can pull us back into wonder, responsibility, and faith. After 32 years of service, a divorce, retirement, and the pandemic, Barry finally returned to his teenage dream of writing, and the result is a growing catalog of books, including Dark Star, The Fight for Survival, and Who's to Blame. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Barry shares how his background in the Army, law enforcement, and Dungeons & Dragons helped him build believable universes, flawed heroes, and grounded military sci‑fi. He explains why Dark Star took 15 years to fully come together, how he weaves real-world tactics, emotional trauma, and survival decisions into epic space battles, and why he refuses to write “perfect” heroes. His stories blend science fact, combat experience, and speculative fiction in a way that still feels human and uncomfortably honest about what people do when the stakes are life and death. Barry also dives into the deeply personal inspiration behind Who's to Blame, a story about a man named George who spends his life blaming God for every tragedy, until God finally brings him to heaven for a direct, no-excuses conversation. Through that lens, Barry explores blame, loss, faith, and personal responsibility, asking hard questions like: What part did I play in what happened? and Do we create our own heaven and hell? If you've ever wondered how modern faith, free will, and suffering could be explored through a compelling story instead of a dry debate, this episode lays out a powerful blueprint. https://youtu.be/bYx9q-h23Yc?si=WRRRmtnLCYW5z5Ck Along the way, Barry and Robert talk about why reading and writing are more important than ever in a tech-saturated world, how books slow your mind down, force you to visualize, and create a private dialogue between the words and your soul in a way movies and social media can't match. Barry shares practical insights into his writing process, why he often writes without an outline, how reader feedback sharpened his character development, and what's coming next (including a twist-filled vampire novel, a heartfelt story for his daughter, and a Dark Star prequel and sequel). If you love science fiction, military thrillers, faith-driven stories, or need a nudge to pick up a book, and maybe a pen. Again, this conversation will rekindle your imagination and remind you why stories matter. Quotes: "I wanted to create a believable universe. I didn't want it to be just things appear, things are there, and there's no real explanation behind it." "I will tell people over and over again: don't stop reading. Technology is wonderful, but it can't replace a good book on a quiet evening." "When you're reading, it's between the words on the page and your soul. You envision what's on the pages. You can't do that in a movie theater." Contact Details: Visit Barry J.

When my back is against the wall and I'm out of options, what I really believe about God gets exposed. The Israelites found that out fast, pinned between the Red Sea and an army with nowhere to run. But notice what God told them in Exodus 14:15: quit crying out, quit circling the problem, and move. He didn't take them around the thing they feared. He took them through it. And that's usually where the miracle is, on the other side of the one step we keep refusing to take. So what's the thing you've been too afraid to step toward, and what would it look like to expect God's help and move today?Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside's conviction that God's grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God's presence and activity in your life.

Send us Fan MailHow to Overcoming BurnoutWe normally think about burnout as an after thought. Once we have overextended ourselves, our health has deteriorated, and we lose motivation to do everyday life.  The unfortunate reality is that we have grown accustomed to this way of life. So much so, that we often wear it as a badge of honor, and encourage others to do the same. "If you truly want to be successful", this is what you must sacrifice. This false bill of goods has crippled our ability to maxmize our full potential and enjoy life in totality. In this episode of Untherapeutic, Dr. Nic Hardy is joined by Dr. Sana Chaudhry.  Dr. Sana provides evidence-based, practical solutions to combat burnout and how to rewire our nervous system. As a physician, wife and mother, she knows first-hand what it means to balance a successful career, and be fully present at home.  Listen to this episode, and get answers to questions that could save your life.  How do you know when to push through (build resilience) or when something is leading to burnout? What signs of burnout should you pay attention to? What do you do when you "can't" things off of your plate of don't have a good support system? How does someone support a spouse who is experiencing burnout without coming off as unsupportive? Don't forget to follow Dr. Nic Hardy and Dr. Sana online and subscribe to the Untherapeutic podcast on your favorite streaming platform.  About Dr. Sana Dr. Sana Chaudhry, M.D. is a Board Certified Internal Medicine physician, entrepreneur, and personal development coach who helps high-achieving womenespecially those in healthcare—release burnout and consciously create fulfilling, abundant lives. After years in hospital medicine, she experienced firsthand the exhaustion and quiet dissatisfaction many successful women face, which led her to explore mindset, identity work, manifestation, and whole-person alignment.Through her coaching programs, Dr. Sana supports women in reconnecting with themselves and stepping into lives that feel purposeful, balanced, and free. Grounded in psychology, science and faith, her work helps women honor both ambition and well-being.

“Black educators help students see what's possible.” In this episode, Philadelphia second-grade teacher Jael Ferguson shares her nontraditional journey into education, leaving a toxic office job to pursue her calling through a teacher residency program. Inspired by mentors and the Black educators who poured into her along the way, Jael reflects on the importance of representation, leadership, and creating classrooms where students feel seen, supported, and empowered to dream beyond their circumstances.“We have to rebuild the village.” Jael discusses the challenges of teaching during and after COVID-19, the importance of strong family partnerships, and why community-centered education is essential for student success. From helping struggling readers and English language learners find confidence to celebrating every win with joy and intention, she believes that praise, exposure, and high expectations can transform lives. Grounded in mentorship, service, and a commitment to meeting students where they are, Jael's story is a powerful reminder that lasting impact happens when educators, families, and communities work together.

When fear takes over, it has a way of making me forget what's actually true. The Israelites felt it the moment they were trapped between the Red Sea and an army closing in, and I've felt it myself, lying awake at night wondering if I'd misread God on the biggest decision of my life. But in Exodus 14:13, Moses laid out a better plan: fear not, and stand firm. I can let go of my fear because I have a God who will never let go of me. So, where have you been circling in fear, and what would it look like to stand firm today?Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside's conviction that God's grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God's presence and activity in your life.

Through Hellbent, you are invited to explore how fear-based faith can distort the heart of the Gospel. Grounded in Jesus' call to “love your enemies,” this teaching series invites us to rediscover a God shaped not by vengeance, but by compassion, restoration, and radical love. Together, we'll wrestle with judgment, grace, and what it means to participate in God's healing work in the world.

This week I'm joined by Dr Chloe Paidoussis-Mitchell, psychologist and grief specialist, and one of the most compassionate voices helping people understand loss in all its forms.What we share isn't about moving on. It's about patients and people who've carried grief in silence for years and finally found a way through.What we explore together:Why the goal of grief isn't to "get over it" and what it actually means to healWhy grief doesn't follow the five stages and why that model was never designed for bereavementThe losses no one talks about: divorce, estrangement, childlessness, leaving your home country, lonelinessHow the brain maps the people we love and why grief feels so physically disorientingHow to actually help someone who is grieving and why a text message isn't enoughWhat a friendship breakup really does to us, and how to make sense of itThe signs you're dysregulated and what your body is trying to tell youA simple technique to create a safe space in your mind for moments of overwhelmIf you or someone you love is carrying grief of any kind, whether or not there has been a death this one is for you.Love, Sarah Ann

Today, we’re talking shoes. Specifically, the best shoes for you if you have chronic dizziness or balance problems. (If you caught my viral Hoka video back in April, you already know I have thoughts.) But I need you to know this… it was never really about Hoka. It’s about understanding what’s actually going on with your shoes when you have a vestibular disorder and why that matters more than any brand name ever will. I'm breaking down the anatomy of a shoe (from toe box to heel drop) so you can stop Googling “best shoe for dizziness” and just know what to look for. Because the best shoe is the one that works for your feet, your symptoms, and your life. Full stop. In this episode, we'll dig into: The big takeaway from my viral Hokas video Why there’s no single “best shoe” for vestibular disorders The key parts of shoe anatomy every vestibular warrior should know How conditions like peripheral neuropathy, plantar fasciitis, or a toe fusion change what YOU need in a shoe The best places to shop for shoes when you have a vestibular disorder Why heel-to-toe walking matters for fall prevention Your shoes are touching the ground so YOU don’t have to think about it, so let’s make sure they’re actually working how they need to for you.

One of the things that mark a healthy society is the consistency between generations. In other words, adults who care about the future of their children will invest the time to make sure tomorrow is bright.God the Father is the ultimate parent, and we would do well to model His love for us.Luke 18:1 says, “One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up.”Passing the torch, or training up the next generation involves taking the time to do it properly. If you love your kids, you will make time for them. You won't take the easy way out and settle for schools or the culture at large to raise them.Teach them that we all experience tough times in this life, but sticking to God's plan for their lives is the key to winning. Living the abundant life Jesus taught about, and sharing His Good News is the ultimate win.But we don't get there by quitting when the going gets tough.Let's pray.Lord, you never leave us, and you never abandon the human community to evil. You are a great God, and we thank you for your commitment to us. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue - it's a leadership issue, a risk management issue, and increasingly, a business value issue. In this episode of Behind The Numbers With Dave Bookbinder, cybersecurity expert, author, and security analyst Robert Siciliano explains why the greatest threat to most organizations isn't technology -it's human behavior. Drawing on decades of experience investigating cybercrime and helping organizations protect themselves, Robert shares how criminals exploit what he calls the "human blind spot" through fear, urgency, trust, and manipulation. From the early days of AOL scams to today's AI-powered voice cloning, deepfakes, and sophisticated phishing attacks, he reveals how cybercriminals continue to evolve their tactics while targeting the same human vulnerabilities. Dave and Robert discuss why cybersecurity awareness training often fails, how organizations can build a Strategic Human Firewall, and why security must become personal before it becomes organizational. They also explore practical strategies business owners and leaders can implement immediately, including stronger authentication practices, better employee education, and creating a culture of situational awareness. Whether you're a business owner, executive, advisor, or anyone concerned about protecting digital assets and organizational trust, this conversation offers valuable insights into managing risk in an increasingly complex cyber landscape. Key Topics Discussed: Why human behavior remains the biggest cybersecurity vulnerability The psychology behind phishing, scams, and social engineering How AI, deepfakes, and voice cloning are changing cybercrime The Strategic Human Firewall approach to security awareness Building a culture of cybersecurity and situational awareness Practical steps to reduce organizational risk today Why cybersecurity is now a boardroom and leadership responsibility About Our Guest: Recognized as the media's go-to cybersecurity expert and creator of The Strategic Human Firewall™, Robert Siciliano is a private investigator, Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), and the CEO of Protect Now, LLC. As one of the nation's most trusted voices on cybercrime and identity theft, he has built an unparalleled media track record, appearing on over 500 television shows, contributing to over 1,000 radio programs, and being featured as an expert source in over 3,000 articles. A fierce advocate for personal and professional security, Robert is the architect of the CSI Protection certification and a bestselling author who strips away technical jargon to deliver "straight talk" solutions. His expertise is regularly sought by every major network—including CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and The Today Show—where he empowers millions of viewers to protect their data, privacy, and wealth from modern threats. The Strategic Human Firewall™ moves beyond technical cybersecurity training to behavioral governance, acknowledging that software alone cannot stop AI-driven "perfect lies". It addresses the "Human Blindspot," a vulnerability where humans are hardwired to trust digital senses (eyes and ears) that AI now easily exploits. Grounded in the reality that "All Security is Personal," this approach defines security not as abstract compliance, but as fundamental safety—akin to physical security measures designed to prevent violence. Because nothing is more personal than an identity, when individuals learn to defend their personal lives against "Digital Frankensteins" or deepfake family emergencies, engaging in security in a professional environment becomes instinctive rather than forced. By translating these personal instincts into corporate habits, protecting company data is more achievable. Connect with Robert here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertsiciliano/ About the Host: Dave Bookbinder is known as a trusted provider for independent business valuations, corporate asset appraisals, and exit planning advisory and he is the person that business owners and their advisors reach out to when they need to know what their most important assets are worth.

This is open to anyone who wants to feel special, because these ladies . Lara met Holly in a networking group and very quickly knew they were supposed to work together. I've known Holly for about a year and 1/2 - we met through The Passionistas Project, and have been talking about a farm since about that time. I aso attended a workshop Holly hosted through The Passionistas about NOR (Natural Organic Reduction - green burial - I didn't know what it was, either...). This pairing of flowers and photography seem just meant to be, don't they?Website for The Bloom Edit is here: https://www.laragrauerphotography.com/the-bloom-edit.

Be honest: do you make better or worse decisions when you're afraid? Yesterday, we named three things that show up when our backs are against the wall: fear, sarcasm, and worst-case thinking. Today, we slow down and look at how they feed each other into a cycle that never takes us anywhere. Jesus put it plainly in Matthew 6:27, asking who of us can add a single hour to our life by worrying. So what would it look like to name the pattern the moment it starts?Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside's conviction that God's grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God's presence and activity in your life.

Stepping into a bigger role can be exciting - but it can also create blind spots that slow your momentum.In this episode of Grounded and Aligned, Karen shares four leadership patterns she repeatedly sees among senior leaders who have recently taken on more responsibility through promotion, growth, acquisition, reorganization, or expanded scope.Drawing from real client experiences, Karen explores why high-performing leaders often struggle to let go of operational work, underestimate the importance of relationships, over-explain their decisions, and overlook the human impact of change.If you're navigating a new leadership role—or preparing for one—this episode will help you avoid common mistakes and accelerate your impact.Key TakeawaysStop doing and start enabling. Bigger roles require more strategic thinking, delegation, and long-term planning—not more execution.Relationships become a leadership priority. As your scope grows, your ability to influence through others becomes more important than your individual contribution.Explaining is different from justifying. Provide context and visibility, but avoid slipping into defensive explanations that undermine your authority.Don't underestimate the human side of leadership. Change affects people emotionally, even when it makes sense on paper.Leadership transitions require intentional adaptation. The habits that made you successful in your previous role may not be the habits that will make you successful in your next one.Register for the Momentum Sprint starting June 18: https://karen-gombault-coaching-ffzda0.subscribepage.ioStakeholder Strategy: Reduce the Learning Curve of Your New Role.

Thom's Nutshell: Ignoring our own dark potential only makes it stronger. Avoid washing dishes and there are not only more of them, they are also harder to clean. The difference between a reasonable and unreasonable expectation. From Allen: You can want from the best in you, or from the worst in you. You can want from what is healthy and solid, or what is empty and covetous. Wanting from neediness is common. Wanting from your solid, flexible self takes personal development. It takes growing up. From Thom: if any of you are afraid you've taken on your parents' characteristics, relax. You have. The 5 Points of Balance: Staying clear about our values and worth in the face of criticism (not letting others edit your sense of self). Calming our anxiety and comforting our emotional bruises or trauma. Grounded responding and not overreacting or under reacting when there is tension or anxiety. Confronting ourselves for our own integrity and able to meaningfully endure discomfort for our growth and development. Unhooking self, others and reality from unreasonable expectations.

In this solo episode, Hattie continues her self-mastery series with a powerful conversation on identity and the gap between who you're showing up as right now and the woman you keep imagining you could be. She walks you through a practice for getting brutally honest about where you are, what you're negotiating with, and what it actually takes to step into the next version of you. She also unpacks the uncomfortable truth that self-development sometimes means outgrowing people, the difference between flexibility as a tool and flexibility as an excuse, and why so many high achievers have become "slaves to worthiness" without realising it. Grounded, practical, and the kind of episode that earns a second listen.

Stuck on the “wrong mountain” in your legal career but unsure what to do next? In this episode, career coach and former lawyer Sherry Mason breaks down how ambitious attorneys can separate prestige from true fulfillment, avoid burnout, and plan a smart, strategic exit instead of a panic-fueled leap. In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Sherry Mason discuss: Ambition vs. prestige in legal careers Skills, situation, and identity as sources of dissatisfaction Burnout, autonomy, and control for lawyers How spending 20% of your time on aligned work drastically reduces burnout A five-step framework for planning a career transition   Key Takeaways: Many high-achieving lawyers climb career “mountains” chosen for them by others, only to realize later that prestige alone doesn't guarantee a fulfilling life. Career dissatisfaction typically stems from one of three areas (skills, situation, or identity) and it's critical to understand which one is actually driving your unhappiness before you make a big move. Burnout often reflects a loss of autonomy and misalignment between daily work and personal values, not just long hours or compensation.  Research suggests that if just 20% of your time is spent on the work that most lights you up, your risk of burnout can drop dramatically, even if the other 80% is less enjoyable. A thoughtful, stepwise approach of clarifying your criteria, forming hypotheses, testing them through conversations, reaching the right decision-makers, and weighing trade-offs can turn a vague urge to quit into a strategic, lower-risk transition.   "You can do anything, but you can't do everything, and a lot of times we work on climbing to the top of a mountain, and sometimes it is a mountain that someone else has told us would be the right mountain for us to climb.

In a world that wants us to move faster, produce more, and live entirely in our heads, Kaitlin Curtice offers a different path: remembering who we are. Drawing on Indigenous wisdom, Kaitlin shares practical ways to reconnect with our bodies, our younger selves, each other, and the Earth. We discuss how trauma disconnects us from ourselves, why presence is a radical act of resistance, and how healing begins when we remember that we are not machines—we are human beings. - How trauma and disconnection pull us out of our bodies—and how to find our way back- Why asking "What does ‘Little You' need right now?" can be a powerful healing practice- Simple ways to reconnect with nature, presence, and yourself—including talking to your houseplants- The lasting impact of purity culture, colonization, and assimilation on our sense of self- Everyday acts of resistance that help us reclaim what we've lost About Kaitlin: Kaitlin Curtice is an award-winning author, poet-storyteller, and public speaker. As an enrolled citizen of the Potawatomi nation, Kaitlin writes on the intersections of spirituality and identity.
