“It's how you were parented that lays the foundation – it sets the blueprint for your own parenting.” This is a short moment from a much bigger conversation on Motherkind. But it tends to stop people in their tracks. In this clip, Harriet and Zoe talk about something so many of us don't fully look at until we become parents ourselves – the relationship we had with our own parents, and how that quietly shapes the way we show up with our children. Harriet shares what it can be like to grow up in an enmeshed relationship, where you're very close, but boundaries are blurred, where you might have been the best friend, the emotional support, the one who grew up a little too quickly. And how becoming a mum can suddenly shine a light on things you once told yourself were “fine”. She shares a question she now asks her clients – and it's a powerful one: Would you want your child to have the childhood you had? This clip gently explores some of the early signs that something might feel off – struggling to say no, feeling guilty for wanting things differently, having your boundaries minimised or dismissed. And how confusing that can be, especially when you rely on your parent for support or childcare. If this resonates, please know you're not alone. And you're not ungrateful. And you're not making it up. This is just one small part of a much bigger, compassionate conversation about awareness, autonomy, and breaking cycles – without blame, and with a lot of kindness.

uest Author: Paul GregoryHeadline: Isolation and Rage: The Oswalds' Summer of StruggleSummary: The Oswalds lived in poverty, with Marina isolated and lacking essentials like a baby carriage. Tensions erupted during a dinner with the "Dallas Russians" when Lee aggressively defended the Soviet Union, alienating the community that was trying to assist his secluded wife.Article: During the summer of 1962, Paul Gregory observed the Oswalds' meager living conditions, noting their only coffee table book was a Time magazine featuring President Kennedy, a man both seemingly admired at the time.

Guest Author: Paul GregoryHeadline: The Day the World Changed: Perspectives from Fort Worth and OklahomaSummary: On November 22, 1963, Pete Gregory watched President Kennedy in Fort Worth while his son Paul, a student in Oklahoma, witnessed the news of the assassination. Seeing the suspect on television, Paul instantly recognized Lee Harvey Oswald, realizing the gravity of his connection to the unfolding tragedy.Article: On the morning of November 22, Pete Gregory stood outside the Continental Life Insurance building to watch President Kennedy address a friendly crowd, dispelling fears of right-wing hostility in Texas, before returning to his office where he later learned the President had been shot. Meanwhile, at the University of Oklahoma, Paul Gregory watched Walter Cronkite tearfully announce the President's death before seeing a bruised Lee Harvey Oswald on television, prompting him to tell his classmates, "I know that guy," and immediately concluding that Oswald was likely guilty and had acted alone.
Guest Author: Paul GregoryHeadline: The Desire for Greatness: Understanding the MotiveSummary: Decades later, Paul Gregory attributes Lee's motive to a desperate need to prove his significance to the world and his scornful wife. Often underestimated, Lee was a manipulative planner who viewed the assassination as a path to historic grandeur and political relevance.Article: Lee Harvey Oswald was driven by a lifelong belief instilled by his mother that he was special, combined with a desperate need to prove his worth to his wife, Marina, who often ridiculed him as not being a "real man". Far from being a simpleton, Lee was a manipulative planner who viewed the assassination not just as a crime, but as a gateway to a show trial where he could broadcast his political theories and finally achieve the historical importance he craved.
Guest Author: Paul GregoryHeadline: The Warren Commission: Testimony and ConspiracySummary: Paul Gregory visited Dealey Plaza to verify the feasibility of the shot before testifying to the Warren Commission. The hearings were marked by Margarite Oswald's disruptive demands for subpoena rights and her insistence on conspiracies, while Paul maintained that Lee acted alone despite Soviet suspicions.Article: Before testifying, Paul Gregory inspected Dealey Plaza and concluded that the shot from the depository was relatively easy, reinforcing his belief that Lee acted alone without a complex conspiracy, despite the Soviet Union's own fears of being implicated. The Warren Commission hearings were notably disrupted by Margarite Oswald, who demanded subpoena rights and insisted on her son's innocence, providing the Commission with a clear view of the chaotic psychological environment that shaped Lee.
Guest Author: Paul GregoryHeadline: A Tale of Two Funerals: Burial and DelusionSummary: While the world watched JFK's funeral, a small group buried Lee Harvey Oswald, with reporters serving as pallbearers. The Gregory family's Thanksgiving was overshadowed by the trauma and Margarite Oswald's erratic behavior, as she clashed with agents and insisted on her son's innocence.Article: As the nation mourned President Kennedy, Marina and Margarite struggled to bury Lee in a grim ceremony where reporters had to carry the coffin, with Marina devastated by the contrast between her husband's end and the televised images of the Kennedy family. The Gregory family spent a foggy Thanksgiving recovering from the ordeal, discussing Margarite's delusional assertions that she was being persecuted by the very Secret Service agents trying to protect her, behavior that highlighted the dysfunction she passed down to her son.
Guest Author: Paul GregoryHeadline: Protective Custody: The Secret Service and the GregorysSummary: After the assassination, the Secret Service moved Marina and her mother-in-law, Margarite, to the Six Flags Inn for protection. Pete Gregory served as a translator during interrogations, helping Marina, who feared the FBI was the "American KGB," and eventually breaking the news to her that Lee had died.Article: Following the assassination, Pete Gregory assisted the Secret Service in securing Marina and Margarite Oswald at the Six Flags Inn, where Margarite immediately began claiming her son was an intelligence agent and hero rather than a killer. During the subsequent interrogation, Pete acted as a trusted translator for Marina, who was terrified of the FBI, and he eventually performed the difficult duty of informing her that Lee had died, leading to an emotional viewing of the body at Parkland Hospital.
Guest Author: Paul GregoryHeadline: Escalation: From General Walker to New OrleansSummary: In April 1963, a shaken Lee confessed to Marina that he had attempted to shoot General Edwin Walker. Following this, Lee moved to New Orleans to manufacture credentials as a pro-Castro radical, hoping to manipulate his way into obtaining visas for Cuba and the Soviet Union.Article: On the night of April 10, 1963, Lee returned home visibly agitated and confessed to Marina that he had fired a shot at General Edwin Walker, a planned assassination attempt that Marina kept secret to her later regret.

1. Guest Author: Victor Davis Hanson. Headline: The Hollowing Out of the American Middle Class. Summary: Hanson argues that the American middle class, historically the backbone of the republic like in ancient Greece, is eroding into a binary of the wealthy and the dependent. He contends that modern policies create a "peasant" class dependent on the state, illustrated by marketing figures like "Pajama Boy," while California's high taxes drive the productive middle class away.1863 BEECHER IN BRITAIN.
uest Author: Paul GregoryHeadline: A Helping Hand: The Gregorys Meet the OswaldsSummary: In June 1962, the Texas Employment Office asked Pete Gregory to evaluate Lee Harvey Oswald's Russian fluency. Impressed by Lee's fluency despite his poor grammar, Pete wrote a recommendation and introduced Lee to his son Paul, who began taking Russian lessons from Marina to help the impoverished couple.Article: In June 1962, Lee Harvey Oswald arrived at Pete Gregory's office in a heavy wool suit during the Texas heat, seeking certification of his Russian language skills to avoid manual labor. Pete confirmed Oswald's fluency, though he noted the grammar was poor and uncharacteristic of a trained spy, and subsequently introduced Lee to his son Paul, who began visiting the Oswalds' duplex for Russian conversation lessons with Marina to provide them with modest financial support.

@investopedia's Caleb Silver makes the case that markets are still very bullish. The issue comes down to headline risk ramping volatility higher, with the latest example seen in the resurgence of tariff talks and Greenland concerns. That said, Caleb points to high retail trading in Nvidia (NVDA) and memory chips like Western Digital (WDC) and SanDisk (SNDK) as signs that bulls aren't slowing down. He later explains how Tesla (TSLA) plays into the high-beta trade. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

If the word “selfish” makes you uncomfortable… this episode is for you. In this conversation, Zoe is joined by Suzy Reading for a deeply reassuring exploration of what mothers truly need – and why self-care alone is often insufficient. Together, they talk about how so many women have been conditioned to put themselves last, why resting, saying no or asking for help can feel so hard, and how unmet needs often show up as guilt, resentment or snapping at the people we love most. Suzy shares the thinking behind her new book How to Be Selfish, gently reframing “selfishness” as self-advocacy – and offers simple, practical ways to reconnect with yourself, calm your nervous system and let yourself matter too. In this episode, you'll learn about: Why self-care alone isn't enough – and how learning to receive care changes everything How motherhood and conditioning pull us away from our own needs (and why that matters) Why guilt, resentment and “shouty mum” moments are signals, not failures Simple, compassionate ways to reconnect with yourself and remember that you matter too

HEADLINE: The Cannonball Rule vs. Anti-Access Denial GUEST AUTHOR: Jerry HendrixSUMMARY: Hendrix explains how the historical "cannonball rule," which limited territorial waters to the range of shore batteries, is being challenged by modern long-range missiles. Nations like China and Russia use "anti-access/area denial" strategies to extend their sovereignty far beyond international norms, effectively claiming vast areas like the South China Sea. This strategy aims to push the U.S. Navy away to prevent intervention in regional conflicts. Hendrix emphasizes the necessity of "Freedom of Navigation" operations, where U.S. warships physically sail through disputed waters to legally and militarily reject these excessive territorial claims.1904
HEADLINE: Moneyball for the Navy: Balancing the Fleet GUEST AUTHOR: Jerry HendrixSUMMARY: Applying a "Moneyball" baseball analogy, Hendrix argues the current U.S. Navy is "top-heavy," relying on expensive "home run" carriers while lacking "base hitters"—smaller ships for daily presence. He notes the fleet has under 300 ships but needs constant forward deployment to maintain peace. To fix this, he advocates for a high-low mix: acquiring the new Constellation-class frigate to serve as a versatile "pickup truck" and refurbishing older Arleigh Burke destroyers. This approach aims to rapidly expand capacity to counter the immediate Chinese threat without waiting decades for new technology.1900 DEPLOYED TO THE BOXER REBELLION
HEADLINE: Strategic Vulnerabilities and the Path to a 456-Ship Fleet GUEST AUTHOR: Jerry HendrixSUMMARY: Hendrix identifies critical economic vulnerabilities in China and Russia, noting that both regimes rely heavily on sea lanes for energy and food, making them susceptible to naval interdiction. To maintain deterrence, he proposes a future fleet of 456 ships. This expansion relies on a pivot to unmanned surface vessels to control costs and the addition of 60 frigates for global presence. Hendrix also warns that the Navy must urgently replace retiring guided-missile submarines and expand the logistics force, as combatant ships cannot operate effectively without a robust train of supply vessels.1888 NAVAL GUN
HEADLINE: Emerging from the Terror: The Birth of Revolutionary Style GUEST AUTHOR: Anne HigonnetSUMMARY: Professor Anne Higonnet discusses how the end of the Reign of Terror in 1794 precipitated a radical shift in French fashion. Teresia Tallien, emerging from prison in a simple garment, transformed her "prison garb" into a symbol of survival and chic, abandoning the corsets and silks of the aristocracy for flowing lines. Joined by Rose de Beauharnais (the future Josephine) and Juliette Récamier, these women—known as "The Graces"—utilized style as a tool for social and political advancement. Higonnet argues that while men controlled the violence, these women revolutionized the culture, turning their trauma into a liberating aesthetic.1796 JOSEPHINE
HEADLINE: The Empire Style: Colonial Influence and the End of Sumptuary Laws GUEST AUTHOR: Anne HigonnetSUMMARY: During the Directory, Teresia and Rose dominated Parisian society, where Rose eventually captivated a young Napoleon Bonaparte. Higonnet explains that their signature "chemise" dress was a fusion of Teresia's prison shift and the simple white muslins Rose knew from the Caribbean, inspired by the dress of women of color in Martinique. This style, while mimicking Neoclassicism, relied on colonial Indian cottons. The revolution's abolition of guilds and sumptuary laws allowed these women to dismantle centuries of class-based dress codes, shocking observers with an aesthetic of "expensive undress" that defied traditional European modesty.1805 JOSEPHINE
HEADLINE: Cotton, Contraband, and the Invention of the Handbag GUEST AUTHOR: Anne HigonnetSUMMARY: Higonnet details the material revolution where aristocratic silk was replaced by Indian cotton, a "revolutionary fabric" that allowed painters like Jacques-Louis David to visualize the natural female body. This silhouette necessitated the invention of the modern handbag, as the new slim dresses lacked the space for pockets hidden in traditional voluminous skirts. Josephine further defined the era by popularizing the cashmere shawl and inventing the tiara using Italian cameos. Meanwhile, Juliette Récamier adopted a rigorous all-white aesthetic to symbolize revolutionary purity, sparking a British frenzy to both mock and copy French fashions.11807 JOSEPHINE

This style, while mimicking Neoclassicism, relied on colonial Indian cottons. The revolution's abolition of guilds and sumptuary laws allowed these women to dismantle centuries of class-based dress codes, shocking observers with an aesthetic of "expensive undress" that defied traditional European modesty.1812 HOTENSE DE BEAUHARNAIS
HEADLINE: The Western Pacific as the New Inner German Border GUEST AUTHOR: Jerry HendrixSUMMARY: Captain Jerry Hendrix argues that the Western Pacific has replaced the Cold War's "Inner German Border" as the primary geography of global ideological and military competition. He traces the concept of the "Free Sea" back to Hugo Grotius's 1609 legal arguments, which established that the ocean cannot be owned like land—a principle that became foundational to the Enlightenment and modern global trade. Hendrix asserts that American naval primacy since 1945 has been essential in upholding this system, ensuring unencumbered commerce and significantly reducing global poverty, a status quo now under threat.1911 USS MAINE, HAVANA HARBOR

I never thought I'd be glued to my screen tracking court battles like they're the Super Bowl, but here we are in mid-January 2026, and President Donald Trump's legal showdowns are dominating the dockets from Hawaii to the Supreme Court steps in Washington, D.C. Just this past week, as the Supreme Court wrapped up arguments in cases like Chevron USA Inc. v. Plaquemines Parish in Louisiana and Little v. Hecox, all eyes shifted to Trump's escalating clashes with federal agencies and old foes. On Friday, January 16, SCOTUSblog reported the justices huddled in private conference, voting on petitions that could add more Trump-related fireworks to their calendar.Take Trump v. Cook, heating up big time. President Trump tried firing Lisa Cook, a Democratic holdover on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, back in August 2025, calling her policies a mismatch for his America First agenda. U.S. District Judge Cobb in Washington blocked it, and the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld her ruling 2-1. Now, the Trump administration, led by Solicitor General D. John Sauer, is begging the Supreme Court to intervene. Oral arguments hit Wednesday, January 21, at 10 a.m. in the Supreme Court building, with Paul Clement—former Solicitor General under George W. Bush—defending Cook. Sauer blasted the lower courts as meddling in presidential removal power, echoing fights in Trump v. Slaughter, where the Court already chewed over firing FTC Chair Lina Khan's allies like Alvaro Bedoya last December. Dykema's Last Month at the Supreme Court newsletter calls it a direct shot at the 1935 Humphrey's Executor precedent, questioning if Congress can shield multi-member agency heads from the president's axe.It's not just agency drama. E. Jean Carroll, the former Elle writer who won $5 million defaming her after a jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s, just urged the Supreme Court to swat down his latest petition. ABC News covered her filing this week, where she argues U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in New York got evidence rules spot-on—no reversal needed.And that's barely scratching the surface. The Court's January calendar, straight from supremecourt.gov, lists Trump v. Cook smack in the middle, following Wolford v. Lopez on Tuesday, January 20—a Second Amendment tussle over Hawaii's law banning guns on private property open to the public without the owner's okay. Axios predicts 2026 bombshells like Trump v. Barbara on his executive order gutting birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment, potentially stripping citizenship from kids of undocumented immigrants born on U.S. soil. Then there's Learning Resources v. Trump, challenging his national emergency tariffs on foreign goods—Axios says a loss could force $100 billion in refunds and crimp his trade wars.Over in lower courts, Just Security's litigation tracker logs fresh salvos: challenges to Executive Order 14164 jamming January 6 convicts into ADX Florence supermax in Colorado, and suits against orders targeting law firms like Perkins Coie, Jenner & Block, and WilmerHale for alleged anti-Trump bias. Lawfare's tracker flags national security spins on these executive actions. Even California Republicans appealed a Los Angeles panel's smackdown of their gerrymander claims against Governor Gavin Newsom's maps to the Supreme Court this week, per SCOTUStoday.These cases aren't just legal jargon—they're power plays reshaping the presidency, from Fed independence to gun rights and citizenship. As Trump posts fire on Truth Social about "evil, American-hating forces," the justices gear up for a term that could torch decades of precedent.Thanks for tuning in, listeners—come back next week for more.

Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican superstar whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is dominating headlines with his upcoming Super Bowl LX halftime show on February 8 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

Welcome back to the Investor Professor Podcast— In Episode 180, we kick off 2026 with a market that's already moving fast and giving investors zero time to catch their breath. The major indexes are positive to start the year, but the “Magnificent Seven” have stumbled out of the gate, hinting at a possible broadening in market leadership. From Venezuela and oil headlines, to sudden shifts in defense stocks, to a proposed credit card interest cap shaking financial names like Capital One and American Express, the theme of this episode is clear: don't let breaking news whip you into impulsive portfolio decisions. Headlines can move stocks quickly—but those moves can fade just as fast if the underlying fundamentals haven't truly changed. We also dig into the current state of the AI trade and earnings season, highlighted by a strong Taiwan Semiconductor report that helped reignite confidence across the chip and AI ecosystem. With banks reporting solid results and tech earnings ramping up, the focus turns to forward guidance and what companies are seeing for 2026—especially as political risk continues to rise and markets remain sensitive to sudden policy shifts. Even with all the noise, the bigger message remains steady: build a portfolio you believe in, own companies you understand, and stay committed through volatility—because markets can climb a wall of worry, but only disciplined investors benefit from it. *This podcast contains general information that may not be suitable for everyone.

If your body feels tired, foggy or unfamiliar, this conversation might change how you see yourself. January can feel like a strange in-between. The world is telling us to reset, optimise, and transform. But our bodies are often saying something much quieter: I'm tired. I need care. I need kindness. In this episode, Zoe sits down with Dr Mindy Pelz for a conversation that feels less like “health advice” and more like a deep exhale. Together, they explore what's really going on for mothers beneath the brain fog, the overwhelm, the resentment, the stubborn changes in our bodies – and why so many of us feel like we're failing, when actually our bodies are doing exactly what they were designed to do. Dr Mindy gently reframes stress, hormones and fatigue, helping us understand why women's bodies respond so differently to pressure, why putting ourselves last comes at a cost, and why self-care isn't something to squeeze in once everything else is done. They also talk about fasting – not as a rule or restriction, but as a way of working with the female body rather than against it – and how it can support clarity, calm and energy when done with care and context. And perhaps most powerfully, this conversation reclaims perimenopause and menopause as something rarely spoken about in this way: not an ending, but a powerful rewiring. A time when the brain begins to let go of people-pleasing, external validation and over-functioning – and moves us towards leadership, confidence and deep self-trust. This episode is an invitation to step into the year differently.To stop fixing yourself.To start listening to yourself. In this episode, you'll hear about: Why stress underpins so much of how mothers feel in their bodies and minds How women's bodies and brains are uniquely wired through motherhood and midlife What self-care, fasting and strength really look like when done with compassion Why midlife can be a powerful return to clarity, confidence and self-trust
