Send a textThe Active Mom Podcast just crossed 100,000 downloads and 200+ episodes, which honestly feels a little surreal. So for this one, I did something a little different… In this solo episode, I reflect on how the podcast started back when it was the Active Mom Postpartum Podcast, how it evolved into conversations about pregnancy, postpartum, pelvic floor health, return to running, perimenopause, and menopause, and some of the guests and moments that shaped the show along the way.I talk about the interviews that challenged my thinking the most, the hardest episodes to record, and how talking with researchers, clinicians, athletes, and everyday moms has changed the way I practice as a pelvic floor physical therapist.This podcast has always been about one thing: making women's health research, pelvic floor information, women's stories and real conversations about movement and performance more accessible.In this episode I talk about:• Why I started the Active Mom Podcast • What it means to reach 100,000 downloads in a very niche space • How the show evolved from postpartum conversations to women's health across the lifespan • Some of the guests and research conversations that shaped my thinking • The episodes that were the hardest to record • Misunderstandings that still exist around pelvic floor function and exercise • What I hope the next chapter of the podcast createsIf you've been listening for a while, I'd love to hear your favorite episode or guest — send me a message and let me know.If this podcast has helped you feel more informed, less alone, or more confident navigating symptoms like leakage, prolapse, pain, or return to running, I'd love for you to share it with a friend or leave a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐review.Thanks for being here and for helping make 200 episodes possible.Topics discussed: pelvic floor health, postpartum recovery, return to running, women's health, pregnancy exercise, perimenopause, menopause, prolapse, leakage, research in women's healthTime Stamps1:00 Introduction2:57 quick fire questions7:20 why I started the podcast11:31 how the show has evolved15:39 shifts in clinical practice19:44 new things we've learned22:17 difficult episodes to record27:14 looking back at the start30:55 most overused phrases in women's health36:27 changing your mind over timeCONNECT WITH CARRIEIf you're looking for deeper support — whether you're postpartum, navigating perimenopause, or trying to run and lift without symptoms — reach out. IG: https://www.instagram.com/carriepagliano/Website: https://carriepagliano.comThe Active Mom Podcast is A Real Moms' Guide to pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause & beyond for active moms & the professionals who help them in their journey.

Marco Rubio warns the toughest phase against Iran is still ahead. The panel breaks down why the U.S. struck now, Iran's growing missile stockpile, and the broader strategy involving China, NATO, and global power dynamics.

This challenge has been mentally and emotionally harder than expected. The doubt. The fear. The feeling of not being worthy. In this episode, Kim opens up about the emotional side of prepping for shows, building a business, nearly losing it, and rebuilding again. She shares: • The powerful lesson behind the phrase “this too shall pass” • What she learned sitting at the peak of success in Marbella • Nearly losing her company during COVID • Losing her Instagram account and unexpectedly feeling relief • Why emotional highs and lows are part of the same cycle • How to find opportunity inside crisis • Why your track record for surviving hard times is already 100 percent Life moves in cycles. The higher you go, the harder you can fall. But the fall is never the end. If you are in a tough season right now, this episode is your reminder that nothing is permanent. Not the pain. Not the fear. Not even the success. This too shall pass. Follow Kim for more real talk and weekly education:

Managing people is still the hardest problem in business. We've built rockets, nuclear reactors, and AI systems… but getting humans to coordinate? Still unsolved.In this episode, Casey Handmer talks about what leadership actually looks like when real stakes are involved when families depend on payroll, when bad decisions compound, and when “being liked” can quietly kill performance. He shares what he's learned building Terraform Industries, why most management books aren't that useful, and why firsthand accounts from people like General Groves hit differently.This conversation gets into hard feedback, demanding standards, and first principles thinking and why leaders need the social permission to push people without becoming jerks.

The notion that the Global South is affected ‘first and worst' by global shocks they didn't cause, namely climate change, is one of the cornerstones of leftist thought. But what if it's not entirely true? What if, contrary to this tenet, it's wealthy Western nations who have over-developed and lost their resilience in the process? […]

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com      I have spoken to groups of 20k, I have spoken to a 1000 dentists, I have spoke to professional sports teams, I have spoken to kindergartners and I have even spoken to men in prison… like Jeffery Dahmer… but nothing could have prepared me for that day…     INTRO: I stood in front of a group of boys who were all under 18 and were in prison. They were hardened criminals… in for stabbing, shooting, killing, raping… You are not in here because you made a bad choice, you are not in here because you got caught, you are not in here because you chose the dangerous path… You are not in here because you chose the hard way You are in here because you chose the easy way!      The ultimate choice!  LUke 9: 23 And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me. NASB       Chew on this: Your health right now is because you chose hard or you chose easy… your feelings. Your finances - you chose your feelings or you chose the cross. Your marriage to your spouse - you chose your feelings or you chose the cross.  Your spiritual depth - feelings or cross. EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE… INCLUDING YOUR ATTITUDE IS FEELINGS OR CROSS.   *TO be the BOSS you gotta choose the CROSS!      CROSS - what does it mean?    Context: In 1st-century Roman culture, this phrase meant carrying the instrument of one's own execution, signifying absolute surrender and a, willingness to die to one's own desires. The Cost: It means putting aside personal ambition, comfort, and, if necessary, one's own life to follow Jesus. The Reward: Jesus contrasts this by saying, "For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of me will find it”.   Daily Application: It is not just about extreme sacrifice, but daily choosing obedience, patience over anger, and selflessness over comfort.        In the first-century Jewish context under Roman occupation, the cross symbolized the most degrading, torturous death imaginable—not a mere "burden" like a difficult circumstance (a common modern misinterpretation). Jesus' audience would have immediately understood "take up your cross" as a vivid metaphor for being willing to face execution, shame, and total loss of life for His sake. It was shocking and countercultural: no one "took up a cross" expecting to survive or gain worldly power.   Cross = shame, guilt, suffering, rejection,

When Life Throws a Curveball: How to Stay Faithful When the Bottom Drops Out Few challenges stretch a parent’s faith and emotional reserves more than life’s unexpected curveball seasons—the plot twists that leave you wondering, “God, what are you doing?” How do you remain anchored in truth when the bottom drops out? This week on Christian Parent/Crazy World, Catherine welcomes back her very first guest and trusted friend, Dr. Erin Barry, to help parents not only survive, but find hope and stability in life’s most turbulent moments. Dr. Barry is a clinical Christian counselor, author, homeschool expert, and co-founder of inseparableLives.com. Her biblically grounded wisdom comes from over 30 years of walking families through the storms of life. In this transparent and practical episode, Catherine gets real about her own season of loss, uncertainty, and a series of shocking life upheavals—from parenting a prodigal, to family moves, to sudden job loss. Using these stories as a backdrop, Dr. Barry unpacks essential biblical strategies for clinging to faith and finding stability when life feels out of control. Key Insights & Takeaways Find Your Safe Circle Not everyone is equipped to carry the weight of your story. Dr. Barry urges listeners to seek out wise, mature friends or a counselor who can “sit in the ashes” with you—without minimizing, judging, or rushing your healing process. “For seven days Job’s friends sat in silence—sometimes, that’s all we need.” Grieve Without Comparison Your pain is valid, even if others have it worse. This episode addresses the tendency to minimize your own suffering and offers permission to mourn at your own pace. “Healing is not a competition—it’s a process.” Honor Different Grieving Styles Don’t expect everyone in your family to process pain the same way. Grace and patience protect relationships from being torn apart during crisis. Anchor in Truth, Not Fear When fear and catastrophic thinking take over, Dr. Barry encourages listeners to pause and return to “what is true today.” Worrying about every “what if” tomorrow is not God’s design. “God promises what we need for today—not for every ‘what if’ tomorrow brings.” Worship as a Weapon True perspective and peace are found in worship, not just on Sundays, but in everyday moments. Worship redirects your focus to God’s character and faithfulness. Embrace God’s Bigger Story Even when God doesn’t “remove the rocks”—the hardships—He can “raise the water” and carry you over them, bringing profound good out of suffering. Notable Moments Catherine shares how her perspective on parenting was upended by a prodigal child season and life transitions. Dr. Barry recounts her son’s diabetes diagnosis and how walking through pain has deepened her empathy and faith. Inspiring testimony of hope: The legacy of Ashley Averell and how God brings good from heartbreak, equipping and sending young people on mission. “The greatest human tragedy—the Cross—became the foundation of our hope. God is still good, even when the rocks don’t move.” About the Guest Erin A. Barry is an author, speaker, counselor, and educational consultant. She holds a bachelor’s degree in education, an NCCA Masters of Arts, and Doctor of Clinical Christian Counseling. Erin’s passion is to see people walking in wholeness, body, soul, and spirit as God designed. She is the author of Yes, You Can Homeschool! The Terrified Parent’s Companion To Homeschool Success and, alongside her husband Brett, is co-founder of inseparableLives.com, a ministry devoted to nurturing Christ-centered hearts dedicated to oneness with God, spouse, and community.

This was a very hard episode for us folks, but we feel that it's important to be honest with you. In this episode we lay out the hardest time we've experienced in our marriage.

Cinco De Luncho delivers a painfully relatable draft after Giancarlo Stanton's injury update revealed he can't even open a bag of chips. That sparks the ultimate debate: what are the absolute hardest everyday things to open? From vacuum-sealed jars to impossible packaging and diner condiments that refuse to cooperate, the crew counts down the Top 5 most infuriating items that test your strength, patience, and dignity. Expect personal horror stories, kitchen fails, and the kind of chaos that only a Friday lunch hour can produce.

The leaked NFLPA report cards spark a New York football reckoning. The Giants get crushed, including Joe Schoen landing the lowest GM grade in the league, while the Jets somehow come out glowing and Aaron Glenn grades out as one of the best-liked head coaches. And of course, MetLife's field gets dragged again, with World Cup grass plans creating even more questions. Then it's Cinco De Luncho time: in honor of the Giancarlo Stanton “can't open a bag of chips” saga, we draft the Top 5 hardest things to open. Plus, Mets fans argue Opening Day pitching drama, Jets fans debate drafting offense vs. defense, and the show detonates into Rangers chaos as Adam Fox's reaction fuels a full-blown Chris Drury and Mike Sullivan freakout.

Ellen Coyne and Cormac McQuinn join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:· In the Dáil on Wednesday, Taoiseach Micheál Martin issued an apology on behalf of the State to survivors of abuse in industrial and reformatory schools. Nobody doubts the sincerity of such apologies, but given the number of them over the years, perhaps their rhetoric should be matched with the practicalities and supports survivors need.· With the Residential Tenancies Bill comes into effect from March 1st, Sinn Féin finance spokesman Pearse Doherty was accused of “scaremongering and misinformation” by Tánaiste Simon Harris in the Dáil on Thursday. Doherty pointed to research carried out by I-Res Reit, the State's largest corporate landlord, which suggested a potential increase in rent returns of up to 25 per cent resulting from the new rent rules. The new rules are designed to attract new investors into the rental property sector, and what could be more attractive than charging higher rents?· The glacial speed at which vital infrastructure projects such as the Greater Dublin Drainage Project are delivered here could be accelerated by the establishment of a new Infrastructure Regulatory Simplification Unit in Minister for Public Expenditure and Infrastructure Jack Chambers's department.· And the upcoming byelections in Dublin Central and Galway West, with seats vacated by Paschal Donohoe and Catherine Connolly respectively, are looking increasingly hard to call.Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

Award-winning filmmaker Quinnolyn Benson-Yates made her first feature documentary before film school—and its seven-year journey from short film concept to PBS distribution holds lessons every indie filmmaker needs to hear.Epic Bill follows an endurance athlete who lost everything when his video rental empire collapsed (thanks, Netflix). Bill's mantra—“show up and suffer”—became Quinn's filmmaking philosophy as she navigated polar vortexes, battery failures in -50° weather, and the brutal realities of distribution. In this episode, she shares how she cut a 93-minute film down to 56 minutes for PBS, why credibility matters more than connections, and the uncomfortable truth about what distribution actually solves.DocuView Déjà Vu:Free Solo, 2018, 100 mins, Watch on on Disney + Package / Hulu, IMDB Link: Free Solo (2018) ⭐ 8.1 | Documentary, Adventure, SportMeru, 2015, 90 mins, Watch on Prime Video, IMDB Link: Meru (2015) ⭐ 7.7 | Documentary, SportCrip Camp: A Disability Revolution, 2020, 106 mins, Watch on Netflix, IMDB Link: Crip Camp (2020) ⭐ 7.7 | Documentary, HistoryWhat You'll Learn:Why “fail early, fail often” should include “fail sustainably”How archival footage transformed a short film into a featureThe PBS application process (NETA) and what it requiresWhat intermediaries like Bitmax do for Apple TV/Amazon distributionWhy distribution doesn't make your career—you doAbout Quinnolyn Benson-YatesQuinnolyn Benson-Yates is an award-winning filmmaker with an MFA from USC School of Cinematic Arts.

He shares the full story behind Acuity's 20-year journey, the decision to run a proactive merger process, and why he ultimately chose not to continue into the next chapter with Sorren—despite being Acuity's founder and leading the proactive merger process. The conversation explores the emotional reality of leadership transitions: identity loss, grief, relief, clarity, and the discipline required to not hold on too long. Kenji reflects on the surprisingly anticlimactic nature of closing day, the importance of timing your exit well, and how staying deeply connected to the profession helped him navigate life after stepping away. Today, Kenji is an investor, founder, and advisor focused on reimagining the future of the accounting profession. He is the founder of 404 Invests, an early-stage investment firm backing Accounting Technology, SaaS, FinTech, and Crypto companies. Earlier in his career, Kenji served as CFO of an Inc. 5000 tech company and began in the assurance practice at Arthur Andersen. If you're a firm owner considering succession, a merger, retirement, or your own next chapter as a leader, this episode offers rare honesty and perspective you won't often hear.

Voice used to be AI's forgotten modality — awkward, slow, and fragile. Now it's everywhere. In this reference episode on all things Voice AI, Matt Turck sits down with Neil Zeghidour, a top AI researcher and CEO of Gradium AI (ex-DeepMind/Google, Meta, Kyutai), to cover voice agents, speech-to-speech models, full-duplex conversation, on-device voice, and voice cloning.We unpack what actually changed under the hood — why voice is finally starting to feel natural, and why it may become the default interface for a new generation of AI assistants and devices.Neil breaks down today's dominant “cascaded” voice stack — speech recognition into a text model, then text-to-speech back out — and why it's popular: it's modular and easy to customize. But he argues it has two key downsides: chaining models adds latency, and forcing everything through text strips out paralinguistic signals like tone, stress, and emotion. The next wave, he suggests, is combining cascade-like flexibility with the more natural feel of speech-to-speech and full-duplex conversation.We go deep on full-duplex interaction (ending awkward turn-taking), the hardest unsolved problems (noisy real-world environments and multi-speaker chaos), and the realities of deploying voice at scale — including why models must be compact and when on-device voice is the right approach.Finally, we tackle voice cloning: where it's genuinely useful, what it means for deepfakes and privacy, and why watermarking isn't a silver bullet.If you care about voice agents, real-time AI, and the next generation of human-computer interaction, this is the episode to bookmark.Neil ZeghidourLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/neil-zeghidour-a838aaa7/X/Twitter - https://x.com/neilzeghGradiumWebsite - https://gradium.aiX/Twitter - https://x.com/GradiumAIMatt Turck (Managing Director)Blog - https://mattturck.comLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/turck/X/Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattturckFirstMarkWebsite - https://firstmark.comX/Twitter - https://twitter.com/FirstMarkCap(00:00) Intro(01:21) Voice AI's big moment — and why we're still early(03:34) Why voice lagged behind text/image/video(06:06) The convergence era: transformers for every modality(07:40) Beyond Her: always-on assistants, wake words, voice-first devices(11:01) Voice vs text: where voice fits (even for coding)(12:56) Neil's origin story: from finance to machine learning(18:35) Neural codecs (SoundStream): compression as the unlock(22:30) Kyutai: open research, small elite teams, moving fast(31:32) Why big labs haven't “won” voice AI4(34:01) On-device voice: where it works, why compact models matter(46:37) The last mile: real-world robustness, pronunciation, uptime(41:35) Benchmarking voice: why metrics fail, how they actually test(47:03) Cascades vs speech-to-speech: trade-offs + what's next(54:05) Hardest frontier: noisy rooms, factories, multi-speaker chaos(1:00:50) New languages + dialects: what transfers, what doesn't(1:02:54 Hardware & compute: why voice isn't a 10,000-GPU game(1:07:27) What data do you need to train voice models?(1:09:02) Deepfakes + privacy: why watermarking isn't a solution(1:12:30) Voice + vision: multimodality, screen awareness, video+audio(1:14:43) Voice cloning vs voice design: where the market goes(1:16:32) Paris/Europe AI: talent density, underdog energy, what's next

Ever panic-walked into a flower shop and immediately regretted your existence? Same. Today on The Rizzuto Show, we break down the secret meanings behind Valentine's flowers (yes, apparently hydrangeas mean “I'm sorry” and now we're stressed) and discover that 32% of people straight-up abandon the flower store because feelings are complicated.Then we play a game called Majority Rules… which quickly turns into Nobody Wins and Everyone Is Confused. From pizza toppings and superheroes to soda brands and smoothie fruits, we somehow made matching answers harder than filing taxes. It all comes down to Facebook vs. Instagram for a 46-year-old caller and honestly? That was the most strategic moment of the entire show.If you like your comedy show chaotic, mildly competitive, and aggressively opinionated about bananas in smoothies, this episode delivers peak funny podcast energy.

Sadie calls Luke (for KING & COUNTRY) and Courtney Smallbone “the realest deal,” and she's absolutely right. From how they first met to falling in love, Luke and Courtney share their backwards Cinderella dating story — and what it actually looked like to live out their vows in the early years of marriage. In sickness and in health… and then some. Through disease, terrifying moments with their baby, unexpected surgeries, addiction, and rehab, they get real about how hardship and suffering didn't break them—it built their faith, strengthened their love, and shaped a marriage that reflects God's love in a way only He can. Plus, Luke shares the backstory behind for KING & COUNTRY's “Burn the Ships,” and Sadie recalls how the song specifically impacted her, too.

In high school, a career and technical education program let her earn healthcare certifications that sparked real clinical interest. As an undergrad at Texas A&M, she sought academic rigor and built-in research while learning to ask for help sooner—through office hours, professional advising, and a premed society that brought advisors and medical schools to campus.She shares the toughest moments too: a rocky transition to college, being humbled by General Chemistry (but loving visual organic chemistry), and navigating a competitive premed culture by staying in her own lane. Inside medical school, she talks imposter syndrome, the fire‑hydrant pace of learning, and how Pomodoro, Anki, and visual tools on her iPad kept her grounded. She opens up about the stress of MMIs and virtual glitches, the relief of a Texas pre‑match call after three interviews, and the power of friends and family when things get heavy.If you're weighing how hard to push versus how smart to study, or how to keep your “why” front and center, Kaylah's candid reflections will help you recalibrate.What You'll Learn:- How to plug into advising and support even at large schools- Ways to manage competition by staying in your lane- Smarter study methods: Pomodoro, Anki, and visual learning- Handling MMIs when there's no feedback or affirmation- Keeping your why alive through setbacks and intensity
