This moment... this New Year... disturbs many. I want to share a disturbing moment from my autistic youth—and how I survived it. It weirdly relates to right now.At 70-something, this is the happiest time of my autistic life. Not chasing distant goals—just breathing in this fabulous moment here.This piece inverts Yeats' “Second Coming” to tell a personal story about my grandfather, sailing out to Montauk Point, and discovering that the anxiety of losing sight of shore gives way to something unexpected.Content Note: This piece addresses troubling family history and inherited complexity.My grandfather was a complex man who kept Mein Kampf in his nightstand. And who also took me sailing. Out on the water to Montauk Point, I'd experience overwhelming anxiety as we lost sight of shore. Just sky, waves, constant rolling. Disoriented, like a whiteout in a blizzard.But after an hour or so, I'd make my way to the prow. Wind on my face. Sun on my body. Salt breeze filling my chest. Quieting my heart.Who cares about sailing toward Montauk and its fabulous trees anymore? I'm busy breathing in this fabulous moment here.Thanks for reading #AutisticAF Out Loud Newsletter!

In working with people over the years—and witnessing transformations in health, happiness, relationships, prosperity, and success—certain patterns stand out again and again. There are powerful, foundational insights that consistently help people create real change—yet they're often overlooked. Not because they're complicated… but because they're subtle, and sometimes even counterintuitive. In many cases, people don't realize these patterns are a problem at all—yet they can quietly undermine happiness, sabotage success, and strain relationships. When shifted and programmed in a positive way, however, they can uplift every area of life. In today's episode, Brandy Gillmore shares two of these hidden but powerful insights—distinctions that can help you step into emotional strength, clear what's been quietly holding you back, and begin taking your life to the next level. You'll explore: Why stepping into your strength isn't about force—but emotional empowerment How subtle emotional patterns can quietly influence health, happiness, relationships, and success Why these often-overlooked shifts can become the missing key to creating lasting change If you've been doing "all the right things" but feel like something invisible is still limiting your growth, this episode may help you see what's been missing—and how to shift it. Sometimes it's not about doing more… It's about recognizing the powerful insights that change everything. Do you want to see proof of the power of the mind in a medical journal? Here's a demonstration of Brandy Gillmore working with volunteers under medical equipment, as featured in a medical journal.

Whitney Stropp is a podcast host, comedian, writer, and speaker, and the co-creator of Every Widow Thing, a show that has become a lifeline for people navigating grief, loss, and identity after the death of a spouse. She's also my co-host on our new podcast Anything But Mid, where we're rethinking midlife without the pressure to fix, optimize, or pretend everything is fine.In this conversation, Whitney and I talk honestly about grief, midlife, menopause, reinvention, and the unexpected role humor plays in surviving hard seasons. Whitney shares how losing her husband reshaped her worldview, why grief is not linear, and how laughter became both a coping mechanism and a bridge back to life.We also get real about the overwhelm of midlife wellness trends, the pressure to “optimize everything,” the fear of aging, and why this season can actually be the most expansive chapter yet. This episode is funny, raw, comforting, and deeply human — like a conversation you'd have with a close friend after the holidays when real life sets back in.What we talk about:Navigating grief without a “right” way to do itWhy humor can coexist with deep painReinventing yourself in midlifeThe freedom that comes with empty nesting and identity shiftsMenopause, brain fog, and body changes — without shameLetting go of the pressure to optimize everythingWhy “Anything But Mid” is about permission, not perfectionGratitude, perspective, and choosing the next chapter consciouslyPlease remember to rate, review, and follow the show – and share with a friend!Check out our new Comedy Wellness Podcast: Anything But Mid, cohosted with Whitney Stropp:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/anything-but-mid/id1849386215https://www.youtube.com/@AnythingButMidFind Amy's affiliates and discount codes: https://amyedwards.info/affiliatepageSky Rock Sedona: https://www.skyrocksedona.com/20% Discount Link:https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1759866624184&key=CORP&app=resvlinkAll links: amyedwards.infoInstagram: @realamyedwardsFight For Her: fightforher.netTikTok: @themagicbabeYouTube: YouTube ChannelPodcast: The Amy Edwards Show PodcastFree Course: The Ageless MindsetFull Course: The Youthfulness HackWork with Amy: Book a Call Let's get you to your HAPPIEST and most RADIANT!

✨Hey! This week looks a little different around here — on purpose. Instead of our usual rhythm, I'm airing five episodes in five days. Think of it as a mini-series designed especially for you — curated, fun, and binge-worthy. Fewer cliffhangers, more “ohhh… that makes sense.” Every episode this week features a conversation from a show I've been invited onto as a guest — hosted by smart, generous people you'll genuinely enjoy listening to. Each episode stands on its own. Together, they create momentum. So if you've been listening here and there, this is a great week to lean in. Start wherever you want — or (best option) listen in order and let the through-line reveal itself. Either way, I'd love to hear what you think. Happiest and Healthiest Holidays to you and your loved ones. ✨ Episode Title: The Gut–Hormone Conversation No One Is Actually Having (Yet) Most people think hormone issues start in the ovaries, thyroid, or adrenal glands. They don't. They start in the gut. In this episode, I'm stepping into the guest seat on Vitality Radio with Jared St. Clair for a deep, practical, wait-why-did-no-one-explain-it-like-this conversation about the gut–hormone axis — and the overlooked role of something called the estrobolome. If you've ever dealt with estrogen dominance, stubborn hormone symptoms, thyroid issues that don't match your labs, or the feeling that your body just isn't responding to all the “right” things you're doing… this episode connects the dots. We unpack how gut imbalances quietly recycle hormones that should be leaving your body, why estrogen issues are often gut issues in disguise, and how digestion, detoxification, inflammation, and stress all collide in midlife — especially for women. It's nerdy in the best way, grounded in physiology (not fear), and refreshingly honest about what actually moves the needle. In This Episode, We Get Into: • What the estrobolome is — and why it matters way more than you've been told • How estrogen is supposed to leave your body… and what happens when it doesn't • Why gut dysbiosis can quietly drive estrogen dominance, PMS, PCOS, and heavy cycles • The surprising connection between gut health and thyroid conversion (T4 → T3) • How leaky gut can increase inflammation and lower testosterone (yes, in women and men) • Why hormone replacement often underperforms when the gut isn't addressed first • Simple food-based strategies that support hormone clearance — without perfection or extremes Timestamps 00:03 — Why this conversation always comes back to the gut 09:00 — What the estrobolome is (and why it explains so much) 13:00 — Estrogen recycling, beta-glucuronidase, and the “garbage truck” analogy you won't forget 21:00 — Fiber, inflammation, and why small changes matter more than perfect ones 28:00 — Gut health and thyroid conversion (when labs look fine but you feel awful) 34:00 — Leaky gut, testosterone, and why hormones don't operate in isolation 41:00 — Where to actually start if this feels overwhelming The Big Takeaway Hormones don't malfunction in isolation. They respond to the environment inside your body — especially in the gut. Great news, it's fixable. When digestion, detoxification, and inflammation are off, hormones get louder… not because they're broken, but because they're stuck in the wrong feedback loop. This episode is about stepping out of symptom-chasing mode and into physiology-first thinking — where the goal isn't control, restriction, or another protocol… but restoring systems that already know what to do.

Did God not CHOOSE you, or are you just not LISTENING for Him? In today's episode of Hot & Unbothered, your host Brianna Gomez talks about how to start (or restart) your faith journey and build a genuine relationship with God in 2026. This episode is for anyone who feels curious about faith, disconnected, inconsistent, unworthy or unsure where to begin. We're breaking down what it actually looks like to grow spiritually in a way that feels personal, intentional, and real — not forced or overwhelming. We're covering:✨ What a relationship with God actually means✨ How to start when you don't feel “ready” or “qualified”✨ Simple daily practices to build faith consistently✨ Letting go of perfection and religious pressure✨ How faith strengthens your mindset, discipline, and purpose Your faith journey doesn't have to be perfect — it just has to be honest.2026 is about growth, alignment, and walking with God one intentional step at a time.

Happiest and Healthiest Holidays to you and your loved ones. ✨ Episode Title: Your Gut Is Running the Whole Shebang (Whether You Realize It or Not) Why leaky gut, low stomach acid, and chronic stress quietly shape your energy, mood, and ability to slow aging There's a reason gut health keeps coming back into the conversation - the body has a way of forcing the conversation when it's been ignored long enough. In this episode of Wellness Your Way Podcast, Megan Lyons and I skip the wellness buzzwords and get into the uncomfortable truth: a lot of people aren't “mysteriously” inflamed, exhausted, anxious, or reactive — their gut has been under chronic stress for years, and it's finally showing up in symptoms they can't muscle through anymore. We talk about what leaky gut actually means (and why it's not a fringe diagnosis), how food sensitivities are often created by stress and inflammation, not something you're doomed with forever, and why digestion is one of the first systems to shut down when the body feels under pressure. This isn't a perfect-diet episode. It's a physiology-first conversation about digestion, immunity, hormones, and why the body stops whispering and starts shouting when no one's listening. In This Episode, We Cover: 00:02 – Why the gut is more than digestion (hello serotonin, immunity, and your “second brain”) 06:00 – Leaky gut explained without the fear-mongering (and why most people misunderstand it) 11:00 – Food sensitivities: why everything you love suddenly feels reactive 15:30 – The 3 R's of gut healing: remove, replace, restore 19:45 – Autoimmunity, Hashimoto's, and the gut connection no one warned you about 24:00 – Low stomach acid: when reflux isn't what you think it is 28:30 – Candida, sugar cravings, and the symptoms people never connect to the gut 33:30 – What to add in for a healthier microbiome (without chasing perfection) 36:30 – Fecal transplants, postbiotics, and where gut research is actually headed 39:30 – My real-life self-care routine (the non-glamorous version) The Bigger Takeaway Gut health isn't about obsessing over every bite or eliminating everything you enjoy. It's about creating an internal environment where digestion works, inflammation calms down, and the nervous system isn't constantly bracing for impact. When the gut is compromised, the body doesn't whisper — it compensates… until it can't. This episode is an invitation to stop treating symptoms in isolation and start looking at the system underneath them. Where To Find Me

Happiest and Healthiest Holidays to you and your loved ones. ✨ Episode Title: Another Protocol? Why Wellness May Be Making You Sicker It's a subtle shift, but at some point, health stops being a goal — and becomes something you start chasing. There's a moment when wellness stops being something you pursue with curiosity and becomes something you're striving for — constantly, urgently, and never quite catching. More tracking. More fixing. More rules. More pressure to get-it-right... all under the promise that this will finally be the thing that makes you feel better. Except instead of feeling better, you feel more tired, more inflamed, and more frustrated with your body than ever. In this episode, I join Tiffany Sauder on the Life of And Podcast for a provocative conversation — one that questions the very foundation of modern wellness culture. We talk about how constant protocols, tracking, optimizing, and “fixing” can quietly dysregulate the nervous system, why women are especially vulnerable to this cycle, and how healing often requires less input, not more. We don't need to consume more information from experts or influencers. This episode is not about stacking habits. It's about interrupting the stress loop that keeps people cycling through plans, practitioners, and promises — without ever feeling truly well. And it gives you the conditions your body's waiting for in order to truly heal. What We Cover (with Timestamps) [00:02] — The moment that changed everything How a childhood conversation about cancer prevention sparked my path into functional medicine — and why prevention is always the quieter power move. [00:08] — Where to start when functional medicine feels overwhelming Why you don't need every test, every protocol, or every supplement — and how decision fatigue keeps people stuck. [00:12] — The 2–3 labs that actually give you clarity Gut testing, metabolic markers, and why running all the tests at once is often a waste of money (and energy). [00:16] — Why people fall off “healthy habits” (and it's not laziness) The identity traps, self-talk patterns, and nervous system overload that quietly sabotage consistency. [00:19] — Food freedom without the spiral Why perfection is a myth, how to stop self-shaming after one off-plan meal, and the mindset shift that creates long-term health. [00:22] — Real-life swaps that actually work From almond-flour cookies to club soda in a wine glass — how small shifts keep you socially connected and feeling good in your body. [00:30] — How to fuel a tired body on a demanding day Protein-anchored mornings, blood sugar stability, simple movement breaks, and a nervous-system reset you can do in under two minutes. The Real Conversation We're Having This episode is not asking you to believe in a new system. It's asking you to question the one you've been swimming in. If your health journey feels like a constant state of monitoring, correcting, restricting, or upgrading — your body may not be confused. It may be overstimulated. Healing doesn't happen when the body feels watched, rushed, or perpetually unfinished. It happens when the nervous system finally gets the message that it's safe to stand down. This conversation is an invitation to stop chasing the next protocol and start creating the conditions where healing can actually occur. No pressure. No perfection. Just physiology, honesty, and a much calmer way forward. Where to Find Me

Happiest and Healthiest Holidays to you and your loved ones. ✨ Episode Title: Stop Trying So Hard: “Doing Everything Right” Is Keeping You Stuck Your body can't heal in survival mode — no matter how clean your diet is. What if the reason you don't feel amazing is NOT because you're inconsistent, unmotivated, or doing it wrong? If you've tried “all the right things” and your health still feels off—tired, achy, foggy, or like you're aging too fast—this episode is for you. What if it's because wellness culture keeps handing you high-effort solutions to your health complaints — and your nervous system is quietly waving a white flag? In this conversation on Charis Chats, I join Charis Santillie for a refreshingly sane take on health: why feeling better doesn't require a total life overhaul, why tiny habits outperform dramatic protocols, and how stress, blood sugar, gut health, hormones, and mindset are far more intertwined than most advice admits. This episode is for you if you want to feel clearer, more grounded, and more energized — without turning your life into a full-time self-improvement project. If you've done the dietary shifts, supplements, yoga classes and still feel off… this one will stop you mid-scroll. Long exhale. What We Cover (with Timestamps) [00:02] — Why most people fail at wellness before they even start Not because they lack discipline — but because they're trying to change everything at once. We talk about why your nervous system hates that plan. [00:08] — My unconventional path into functional medicine The childhood moment that shaped my obsession with prevention — and why waiting for a diagnosis is a terrible health strategy. [00:12] — The easiest health upgrades almost everyone can tolerate Why adding beats restricting, how morning habits set your physiology for the day, and where people overcomplicate this fast. [00:15] — MCT oil, brain fuel, and using it without wrecking your gut What it actually does, who benefits most, and why more is not better (your digestive system agrees). [00:22] — Beets, blood flow, and why circulation matters more than you think Nitric oxide, brain health, aging, and the simple daily support most people overlook. [00:26] — Habit stacking: the science-backed shortcut to consistency Why motivation is unreliable, how your brain actually forms habits, and how tiny wins build momentum without burnout. [00:31] — Your body is always listening (this part isn't woo) How thoughts, identity, and repetition shape physiology — and why your subconscious is far more literal than you think. [00:40] — Gluten, inflammation, and the ‘small' symptoms people ignore Skin issues, fatigue, bloating, brain fog — why these aren't random, and what your body may be asking for. [00:55] — The mindset shift that creates lasting health Why consistency quietly beats intensity every time — and how small daily choices compound into real change. The Big Takeaway You don't need a stricter routine. You don't need more supplements. And you definitely don't need to be harder on yourself. You need simpler inputs, smarter habits, and a nervous system that feels safe enough to heal. This episode is your reminder that sustainable health is built quietly — through small, repeatable choices that actually fit your life. Press play. Your future self will thank you. Where to Find Me
Week 2 of CHRISTMAS AT BETHLEHEM with Lead Pastor Jason Britt. Pastor Jason reminds us that the question isn't: “Why does God allow suffering?” It is: “Where is God when it hurts?” And the answer is right beside you.
This week on High Expectations, we take on Happiest Season, a holiday rom-com that set out to be a new seasonal staple.

Here's a tightened, smoother version:Once Every Two Weeks heads back to Tampa for part two of its deep dive into Mighty Joe Plum and their cult‑classic album, The Happiest Dogs—this time without guests, but with even more stories, memories, and unapologetic track‑by‑track nerding out.Mark and Thom start with life updates and live‑show war stories: canceled Bush plans, road trips to Oklahoma, and nights out with Sponge, Local H, Everclear, Counting Crows, and Gaslight Anthem—with plenty of opinions on which aging bands have aged well, and which absolutely have not. That conversation about getting older on stage becomes the framework for the whole episode.From there, they return to Mighty Joe Plum: Florida kids who turned youth‑group friendships into a major‑label deal and a regional hit, only to end up as one of the '90s great “almost lost” bands. They trace the band's path through Orlando station WJRR, producer Justin Niebank, a sound that was “just rock” with a subtle twang, and a history that somehow barely exists online—making this podcast an accidental archive for The Happiest Dogs.Most of the episode is a deep musical dive. Mark and Thom walk through the record song by song, highlighting Brett Williams' vivid but economical lyrics, his shifting vocal delivery, and the way the band quietly bends standard verse–chorus structures into something more interesting. From the opener “Irish” through “Borderline,” “I Fell In,” “Miss Hollywood,” “Stupid,” “Go Now,” “Sweet Orange Marmalade,” “Lumberjack,” and “Please Hear Me,” they talk textures, hooks, and the emotional weight behind deceptively simple lines.They give special focus to the single “Live Through This (Fifteen Stories),” which reached number six on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart and turned an unlikely image—an ant's resilience—into a surprisingly hopeful rock anthem. Along the way they dig up old reviews, stray blog posts, and even a relic of a band website, laughing at odd U2 comparisons while insisting the song has genuinely held up.In the final stretch, they look at what came after: members moving into new projects, Mark Mercado's later work in A&R, Brett's unfinished Peddling Home material, and how one guest vocal with Jeff (as Horace Holloway) now feels like an “unofficial final” Mighty Joe Plum track. They each name their top three songs from The Happiest Dogs (with “Live Through This (Fifteen Stories)” at number one for both) and invite listeners to queue up the whole album, share their own memories, and argue with their picks—because on Once Every Two Weeks, the nostalgia is real, the music matters, and the conversation is the best part.

Happiest of Thanksgivings, Vintage Sand fans, and welcome to Episode 63, our tribute to the incomparable and quietly brilliant Robert Redford. Consider this. If all the Sundance Kid had given us was a series of memorable and subtly complex performances as an actor in a career spanning half a century, that would have been enough to make him a critically important figure in Hollywood, particularly in that mini-Golden Age of the American New Wave of the 1970's. Had the only thing he given us was two masterpieces ("Ordinary People" and "Quiz Show") and his other often beautiful work as a director, that alone would make him a legend. Had the only thing he done was pave the way for the arrival of nearly every single great American film director of the last four decades through his work as the founder and inspiration behind the Sundance Film Festival, that would make him one of the towering figures in the history of American film. And had he focused his seemingly boundless energies exclusively on the best of social causes, such as climate issues and indigenous rights, in the quiet and unassuming way he did, that would be a cause for a celebration of his greatness. The fact that Robert Redford managed to do all of this and more during his lifetime, and with such an unerring sense of grace, cements his place as a foundational figure of modern American cinema. Team Vintage Sand takes the last line from one of his greatest performances, in 1972's "The Candidate", and uses it as the title of our tribute to him as we ponder the what American film will look like without him: What do we do now?

Trusting that our loving Heavenly Father made us for a divine purpose helps us realize that our God-given gifts aren't competitive, they're complimentary! When we come together as women, we have the chance to praise each other, reminding one another of our worth and divine potential. When we embrace our unique talents and gifts, it helps us become our best selves and enables us to lift others along our way. Today's guest, Natalie Hill Jensen, is a former Broadway performer who has learned through many life experiences that her talents and personality are God-given and when she is exactly herself, she's better able to lift others and share God's love. She delights in complimenting other women so they see their strengths and feel amazing. Links and notes: Parley P. Pratt quote Natalie shared: "[The Holy Ghost] quickens all the intellectual faculties, increases, enlarges, expands and purifies all the natural passions and affections; and adapts them, by the gift of wisdom, to their lawful use. It inspires, develops, cultivates and matures all the fine-toned sympathies, joys, tastes, kindred feelings and affections of our nature. It inspires virtue, kindness, goodness, tenderness, gentleness and charity. It develops beauty of person, form and features. It tends to health, vigor, animation and social feeling. It invigorates all the faculties of the physical and intellectual man. It strengthens, and gives tone to the nerves. In short, it is, as it were, marrow to the bone, joy to the heart, light to the eyes, music to the ears, and life to the whole being." Parley P. Pratt, Key to the Science of Theology Patrica Holland quote that inspired this episode: "Somewhere somehow the Lord blipped the message onto my screen that my personality was created to fit precisely the mission and talents he gave me. For example, the quieter, calmer talent of playing the piano reveals much about the real Pat Holland. I would never have learned to play the piano if I hadn't enjoyed the long hours of solitude required for its development. This same principle applies to my love of writing, reading, meditation, and especially teaching and talking with my children. Miraculously, I have found that I have untold abundant sources of energy to be myself, but the moment that I indulge in imitation of my neighbor, I feel fractured and fatigued and find myself forever swimming upstream. When we frustrate God's plan for us, we deprive this world and God's kingdom of our unique contributions, and a serious schism settles in our soul. God never gave us any task beyond our ability to accomplish it. We just have to be willing to do it in our own way. We will always have enough resources for being who we are and what we can become."

Today's episode is an interview I did with Erika Kullberg on her podcast Erika Taught Me. I cover everything from kind candor and leadership to the fastest way to make $100K and what's trending on social media right now. I share thoughts on hiring, investing, avoiding micro mistakes, and how to scale your business while still maximizing for joy. We also talk about money, happiness, and entitlement — and what real success looks like beyond just profit.
In these clips from Spring 2021, Mr Blobby had his toys taken from him, there was a happiness deficit, things were getting back to normal after The Thing and we were engaged in patriot games.
Dr. Catharine Arnston, PhD, MBA, is the Founder and CEO of ENERGYbits®, a trailblazer in the algae nutrition movement.

She reveals the difference between spirulina (Energy Bits) and chlorella (Recovery Bits), how to use both for gut health, hormonal balance, and cellular regeneration, and why algae may be the ultimate anti-aging and brain-boosting tool on the planet.She also shares her personal transformation — no medications, no supplements, incredible energy, and glowing skin at nearly 70 years old — and why she believes aging is natural, but decline is optional.What You'll LearnWhy algae is a food, not a supplementSpirulina vs. chlorella and how to use eachThe surprising link between mitochondria and brain fogDetoxing heavy metals and toxins naturallyHow algae supports hormones and thyroid functionThe science behind energy, focus, and longevityWhy women need mitochondrial protection after 40Mentioned in this episode:ENERGYbits®: https://energybits.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/energybitsThe Algae Love Story book: https://energybits.com/pages/algae-bookDr. Catharine Arnston's site: https://energybits.com/pages/cfb-teamUse code AmyEdwards for 20% off EnergyBitsPlease remember to rate, review, and follow the show – and share with a friend!Check out our new Comedy Wellness Podcast: Anything But Mid, cohosted with Whitney Stropp:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/anything-but-mid/id1849386215https://www.youtube.com/@AnythingButMidFind Amy's affiliates and discount codes: https://amyedwards.info/affiliatepageSky Rock Sedona: https://www.skyrocksedona.com/20% Discount Link:https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1759866624184&key=CORP&app=resvlinkAll links: amyedwards.infoInstagram: @realamyedwardsFight For Her: fightforher.netTikTok: @themagicbabeYouTube: YouTube ChannelPodcast: The Amy Edwards Show PodcastFree Course: The Ageless MindsetFull Course: The Youthfulness HackWork with Amy: Book a Call Let's get you to your HAPPIEST and most RADIANT!

Happy Halloween! On this week's special spooky episode, Jeff welcomes Julia back to the show to discuss a few frightningly fun topics, starting with Jeff's review of Disneyland's new Happiest Haunts Tour ("The Villains' Trail"), and we look at the new features for this year and compare it with tours in years past. Then, we discuss Ray Bradbury and his relationship with both Walt Disney and the Disney Company, including a closer look at The Halloween Tree, his book that inspired the Halloween Tree in Frontierland. We also dive into "Something Wicked This Way Comes," Bradbury's cult-ish film produced by Walt Disney Productions in 1983 and we look at its inspiration, the story of its production, its genre (horror? Dark fantasy?), and its place in horror story culture. Finally, we give a quick review of Tron: Ares, while wishing it was doing better at the box office.
In this episode, I talk about how to create psychological safety in a relationship. I talk about what honesty looks like (and doesn't look like) with the right person.My new book "The Opposite of Settling" is out now!Instagram: @case.kenny Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
