Brooke has been relentless in her efforts to win back Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) from Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig). Despite Ridge's continual rejections, Brooke is left shattered and finds solace in the arms of her ex, Nick.  Bold and Beautiful fans of the CBS soap opera will recall the love triangle between Nick, Brooke, and Ridge which saw Brooke oscillating between the two men. However, this time around, the situation is different as Ridge seems committed to Taylor. Viewers can expect a nostalgic journey with numerous flashback scenes from Jack Wagner's original stint on the show. However, Wagner's return as Nick is not permanent due to filming commitments for 'When Calls the Heart'. This leaves room for speculation about Brooke's future love interests, which could potentially include Bill Spencer or an entirely new character.

On this solo episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I dive into a powerful and often overlooked connection in reproductive health, the link between endometriosis and vagal tone. While many approaches to managing endometriosis focus on supplements, surgery, or hormonal therapies, few consider the role of the vagus nerve in regulating inflammation, digestion, and nervous system balance. In this episode, I break down how vagal tone directly influences endo symptoms, and why it could be the missing piece in your healing journey. I also share practical and accessible tools to stimulate vagal tone, from breathwork and cold exposure to acupuncture and mindfulness techniques. Whether you have endometriosis or are simply looking to support your fertility naturally, this episode offers actionable insights to help you regulate your body's stress response and boost overall well-being. Key Takeaways:  Endometriosis is not just a hormonal issue—it's also tied to inflammation, gut health, and nervous system function. Research shows women with endometriosis often have lower vagal tone, which can worsen symptoms. Improving vagal tone can reduce inflammation and support digestion, egg quality, and hormonal balance. Simple practices like belly breathing, humming, and ear massage can stimulate the vagus nerve. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a useful tool for tracking nervous system health and vagal tone.   For more information about Michelle, visit www.michelleoravitz.com To learn more about ancient wisdom and fertility, you can get Michelle's book at: https://www.michelleoravitz.com/thewayoffertility The Wholesome Fertility facebook group is where you can find free resources and support: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2149554308396504/ Instagram: @thewholesomelotusfertility Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewholesomelotus/ Disclaimer: The information shared on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

Welcome back to the Wholesome Fertility Podcast. I'm your host, Michelle Orbitz, and today we're diving into a powerful and often overlooked connection when it comes to reproductive health and specifically with endometriosis. And this is the link between endometriosis and vagal tone. So that is definitely something that I haven't heard of originally when I first got into this work, and it's definitely something that you don't really see much out there. So endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition where tissues similar to the lining of the uterus called the endometrium grow outside of the uterus. The tissue can be found on ovaries, fallopian tubes, and outer surfaces of the uterus, and even at times. On the bladder or the intestines, if it's really, really severe each month, just like normal, you shed the [00:01:00] uterine lining and misplaced tissue responds to those hormonal changes. So this can cause a lot of pain and it can also lead to inflammation scarring and the formation of adhesions, which are bands of scar tissues that can cause organs to stick together. So some of the common symptoms include chronic pelvic pain, painful periods, so you can really feel severe pain where it's to the point where you can't really function when you're getting your period. It can also happen to increase pain during sex, and many times it is linked to a lot of digestive imbalances and microbiome imbalances as well. This can often cause issues. Also trying to conceive, in many cases people might need surgery. There are many different things that people can do. Of course there are supplements that people can take. And today I'm gonna talk more about the connection between the [00:02:00] vagal tone and endometriosis. So it's really fascinating. It's not something that you'll find often, but I'm very excited to share this. And if you wanna find out more, stay tuned. Welcome to the Wholesome Fertility Podcast. I'm Michelle, a fertility acupuncturist here to provide you with resources on how to create a wholesome approach to your fertility journey. / Michelle Oravitz: Episode number 337 of the Wholesome Fertility Podcast. Welcome back to the Wholesome Fertility Podcast. I'm your host, Michelle Orbitz, and today we're diving into a powerful and often overlooked connection when it comes to reproductive health and specifically with endometriosis. And this is the link between endometriosis and vagal tone. So that is definitely something that I haven't heard of originally when I first got into this work, and it's definitely something that you don't really see much out there. So endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition where tissues similar to the lining of the uterus. Called the endometrium grow outside of the uterus. The tissue can be found on ovaries, fallopian tubes, and outer surfaces of the uterus, and even at times on the bladder or the intestines if it's really, really severe. Each month, just like normal, you shed the [00:01:00] uterine lining and misplaced tissue responds to those hormonal changes. So this can cause a lot of pain and it can also lead to inflammation scarring and the formation of adhesions, which are bands of scar tissues that can cause organs to stick together. So some of the common symptoms include chronic pelvic pain, painful periods, so you can really feel severe pain where it's to the point where you can't really function when you're getting your period. It can also happen to increase pain during sex, and many times it is linked to a lot of digestive imbalances and microbiome imbalances as well. This can often cause issues. Also trying to conceive, in many cases people might need surgery. There are many different things that people can do. Of course there are supplements that people can take. And today I'm gonna talk more about the connection between the [00:02:00] vagal tone and endometriosis. So. It's really fascinating. It's not something that you'll find often, but I'm very excited to share this and if you wanna find out more, stay tuned.  So now that I mentioned what endometriosis is and really the condition and how it can impact your fertility health, I'm gonna also talk about vagal tone and really what the connection is between the vagal tone and endometriosis. If you heard some of my earlier episodes, you'll know that I talk a lot about the vagus nerve and about how the nervous system is so impactful when it comes to reproductive health. It's gotten to the point where that has become my [00:03:00] obsession as a fertility practitioner. It is so important and it really explains the yin and the yang process and really how the body's able to get into a homeostasis and regulate itself. And it's so pivotal when it comes to fertility health. So the vagus nerve is a cranial nerve, and it's the largest cranial nerve in the body, but it plays an incredibly important role. And I've mentioned this before, but I'm gonna mention it again in case you haven't seen it before. What it does is it actually communicates with the enteric nervous system which is your digestive nervous system, and it's , hundreds of millions of neurons that go throughout your whole digestive process. And it can be one of the causes for people having issues with digestion when there's a low vagal tone. Because it is so impactful when it comes to digestion, and one of the things that Vagus nerve does is that it impacts the parasympathetic or rest and digest [00:04:00] aspect of the body. So when your body is in parasympathetic, that is the optimal time to digest food, and it can also cause a more. Calm state of mind where your body is not in fight or flight, but it's more regenerative. So when it is in fight or flight, it's a little bit more of a sympathetic response. Now, there's nothing wrong with being in the sympathetic response. It's not like the bad state to be in. It's actually part of our nervous system and part of the autonomic nervous system, which composes of both the sympathetic and the parasympathetic. But when it becomes too chronic, then it can cause a lot of different problems, and the body gets into a more survival state. So vagal tone basically refers to the vagus nerve's ability to function. So the stronger it is, the stronger it functions, the stronger the vagal tone. One of the ways that you can actually measure vagal tone is through something called heart rate variability, HRV, [00:05:00] and you can see many different apps, many different devices that actually measure that. And HeartMath Institute also discusses a lot about that, and they talk about the heart brain coherence, and they look at. Heart rate variability and vagal tone. And there was actually certain types of exercises, , that you can do to actually increase vagal tone and increase heart rate variability and also increase. Just by doing so, heart, brain coherence. So the higher the heart brain coherence and the higher the heart rate variability, the more calm we feel, the better state that we have. And apparently in conditions of endometriosis, the vagal tone. Is actually lower. So one of the things that I would definitely suggest if you do have endometriosis is to improve that vagal tone. And I'm gonna be discussing many, many different ways to do that. So as we know with endometriosis, one of the things that it's linked to is [00:06:00] digestive issues. And the higher the vagal tone and the better the biggest nerve is functioning, the better it can talk to and basically communicate with the enteric nervous system, which is really your. Digestive nervous system. And so we know that when we stimulate the vagus nerve, it can actually improve your digestive system. And when that happens, you're not only improving your ability to take in nutrients, but you're also decreasing the inflammation in the body, which is really pivotal when it comes to not just endometriosis, but egg quality and overall. Fertility health. So this is something that anybody who's going through the fertility journey, male or female, can benefit from regardless if you have endometriosis or not. So just to kind of go back on the endometriosis topic, one of the ways really the only true way that you can know if you have endometriosis is by getting [00:07:00] a laparoscopy. It is a surgery, so I'm not saying to go and do that. However, if you suspect that you might have endometriosis based on inflammation, gut imbalance, really strong menstrual pain, pain with periods and kind of lower back pain around that time, then you could still do this because you're gonna benefit from it anyway. So I would go and talk to your doctor if you do suspect that you have endometriosis to get your options. So besides looking at heart rate variability, you may kind of realize if your heart rate variability is high or your vagal tone is high based on how well you get back from really stressful situations. So if you are the type of person that. Gets anxious pretty easily. Startles really easily has like an off nervous system, gets really nervous around people. That's okay to a certain extent, if it's not [00:08:00]chronic, if it's not something that's really impacting your life. But if it is impacting your life and it's something that happens and when you get out of those environments that trigger that. You continue feeling like that, that may mean that you have a lower vagal tone, which means that you're not able to adapt from one state of stress to a more calm state of your nervous system. So while that doesn't confirm heart rate variability, and ultimately the best thing to do is really to measure it, and you can measure it with many devices like even, or ring, you know, there's many devices that actually track your body and your heart rate variability. And that would be the ultimate way to confirm it, but there are definitely symptoms that you can feel as well. So studies do confirm that women have a lower vagal tone if they have endometriosis, and that a lower vagal tone is also linked with higher inflammatory conditions. , some of the things in life that can impact [00:09:00] vagal tone really do have to do with high stress. So if you're constantly exposed to high stress in your life, that can impact your vagal tone. And also, I've mentioned this before, it's really important to know that if you do have high stress. It's not the end of the world if you have some stress, but high stress chronically can really impact your overall health and it can also throw off your nervous system balance. So even if you have IBS or any kind of gut conditions or inflammation or bloating, I'll be covering things that will also benefit you as well. So what's pretty amazing is that there have been studies, actually animal studies that have shown that increasing that vagus nerve stimulation, which will improve the vagus nerve function has been shown to decrease lesions in animals of endometriosis. This is thought to be because vagus [00:10:00] nerve stimulation can regulate and decrease inflammatory markers in the body. So I'm gonna cover a few ways that you can stimulate your vagus nerve overall. I. So breath work is amazing and it works with the diaphragm, especially belly breath. So as a child, you probably knew how to breathe. You'll see babies breathe from their bellies because that belly breath is actually the way we're supposed to breathe. But as we get older, we actually learn habits that are not really great for breathing. So belly breath is really good. So you could put your hand right underneath your. Ribs, which is where your diaphragm is, and start to use that, really the diaphragm as a muscle and breathe in and out and do this a couple of times a day to retrain yourself. To breathe from the belly. I remember not doing that. And then years ago, learning and retraining myself to the point where it became unconscious and I was just a [00:11:00] belly breather. And it really impacted how I felt in general because I used to have generalized social anxiety. And I remember going in for body work. A massage and the woman said, oh, you're a belly breather. So it, it is something that I was like, oh, I'm so happy. I'm so proud of myself that I actually trained myself. I wasn't even focusing on trying, and she noticed it. So it is something that you can train yourself. It's a habit that we have. It becomes unconscious. So just like a good habit can become unconscious, a bad habit can become unconscious, but you can also change that bad habit to a good unconscious habit. So I've talked about slow, deep breathing, but you can also do something called box breathing, which is inhale to four, hold to four, exhale to four, and then hold out to four. And then you can slowly increase that with time. I remember when I used to teach Kundalini yoga, we had something called, it was like the meditation [00:12:00] aspect of the yoga training, and it was something called the 16 seconds.  breath. We would breathe in so it's not quite the box. It would breathe in to 20, hold for 20, breathe out to 20 and that's 60 seconds. And doing so really calms the mind. And of course you'd have to work yourself up to doing that and not do that right off the bat. 'cause it is very hard and it is a practice you have to build up to. So another thing that can help stimulate the biggest nerve is cold exposure. Now with Chinese medicine, you may have heard me say that it's not really great to have chronic cold exposure. So I often tell people, keep your feet warm or put socks on and don't put your feet on cold tile. Now this is. A chronic thing, this is doing something day in and day out. And also we do have our first kidney point on the bottom of our feet. The kidneys are in charge of our reproductive health, so you don't want that coldness from the tile to come up from the feet [00:13:00] into the channels. So this is why I say that for a day in and day out. But once in a while, you can give yourself a little cold exposure. Doing so, like maybe doing a quick cold shower once in a while is okay. Now, if you are, of course this isn't for everybody. If you are somebody who tends to be cold all the time, this may not be for you. But what they do find is that that quick stress effect of the cold exposure, like even a cold plunge. Can actually stimulate the vagus nerve. So it's a quick stress response. And then the body goes from stress, which is the sympathetic to parasympathetic. It starts to stimulate that nervous system regulation. Another thing that can really be beneficial is gargling or humming. And I personally love to ohm. If I feel really stressed, even if I'm driving, I just om or hum what humming does. Is, it actually slows down your breath. And you may have heard me say this before in [00:14:00] previous episodes, is that when you breathe slow and deep, you actually calm your nervous system. So, and especially your exhale. So the longer your exhale, the calmer your nervous system, and the more it's gonna go into parasympathetic mode. So when you're inhaling and you're exhaling with a hum, it slows it down. It actually stops it from being cleared fast. Of course, meditation and mindfulness. Now, what meditation does is it really gets us to a state of receptivity and a state of listening. When we're in meditation, we're paying attention to ourselves, even ourselves, when we're anxious or we're feeling uncomfortable. When you're feeling that sensation, it's almost like a somatic acknowledgement of your body sensation, so you're aware, you become more aware. Of what happens when you are feeling uncomfortable, and then having those times during the day is really beneficial for that mindfulness to increase. Because the more [00:15:00] you give yourself opportunities to pay attention to yourself, your mind, your body, how it feels, the more mindful you become, the more you can get really tuned in with your nervous system. And that awareness has been shown to really improve your overall physiology, which in turn. Can help your nervous system regulation and your vagal tone. And of course, one of my favorites is acupuncture. Acupuncture can help tremendously, and we actually have a bunch of points that I use often to stimulate the vagus nerve, and part of it is an ears. So another thing that I would suggest if you can't get to acupuncture is just massage your ears or even massage your feet. Anything that really stimulates that calming effect. The ears are one of the ways that we can access the vagus nerve. So I hope you enjoyed this episode, and feel free to share this with anybody that you think can benefit from this information. [00:16:00] It is information that you may not often hear. I haven't heard about it before until I stumbled upon it and I was like, Hmm, that's very interesting. And then the more I learn about the nervous system, the more impacts I see that it has over reproductive health. So I hope this was beneficial for you and.

Summary: Muahaha! Cower in fear, dear listeners, as Holly and Devin discuss villains… who need a paycheck too. Whether you've worked in Corporate America or just like to imagine hell as an office building, these books will be a home run.  Topics Discussed: The Dagger (3:26): Holly discussed Sign Here by Claudia Lux, a satirical exploration of morality and corporate offices following Peyote Trip, a caseworker in the Deals Department of the fifth floor of Hell. Responsible for securing soups by making deals with humans desperate enough to sign away their afterlives, Peyote is on the cusp of a promotion. If he can sign up one more member of the Harrison family he'll get a “Complete Set” - five souls from the same lineage. Holly's key takeaways were: Hell's depiction as a monotonous office environment serves as a critique of bureaucratic inefficiencies and the dehumanizing aspects of corporate life.​ Peyote's journey reflects a deeper quest for self-understanding and the possibility of redemption, even within the confines of Hell. The novel explores the gray areas of morality, questioning the binary notions of good and evil through its characters' choices and motivations.​ The Harrison family's dynamics highlight the impact of generational secrets and the lengths individuals go to protect or escape their lineage.​  For Holly, the premise of the story was stronger than the execution. While it was entertaining throughout, the two storylines of Peyote in Helly and the Harrison Family on Earth don't come together as strongly and clearly as they could have.  The Heart (13:20): Devin discussed Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer, a BookTok-sourced Romantasy following Evie Sage, a young woman lying in the magical kingdom of Rennedawn who is in desperate need of a job. After an unfortunate firing and a spell of bad luck, she stumbles into a chance encounter with The Villain and ends up hired as his personal assistant. While yes, there are body parts swinging from the ceiling, his castle runs much like any business and Evie can handle the paperwork. Devin's key takeaways were: This novel highlights a recent publishing trend of storylines and authors becoming popular on social media sites like TikTok before they are published, then being signed by publishing companies to ride the wave of their popularity. Pros include increased diversity and a resurgence of popularity of reading in the zeitgeist, but Holly and Devin review cons like rushed editing and expected tropes as well.  Maehrer explores the idea that even villains deserve loyalty, empathy, and maybe even a decent lunch break. It's a workplace comedy... if the workplace had torture chambers. The absurdity of running an evil empire like an office is what makes the “villainous job” theme shine. Capitalism meets chaos magic. While not spicy at all, there are romantic elements to the story. The push-pull between danger and attraction for Evie and The Villain is delicious, especially when the boss could literally smite someone - but instead just broods silently when Evie talks to another guy. Hot On the Shelf (35:54): Holly: My Friends by Fredrik Backman Devin: That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Human by Kimberly Lemming What's Making Our Hearts Race (41:47): Holly: The Last of Us Season 2 on HBO Max Devin: Volunteering in her local community   Instagram: @heartsanddaggerspod Website: www.heartsanddaggerspod.com   If you like what you hear, please tell your friends and rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so that we can find our perfect audience.

Where do you run when crisis hits? When grief, fear, or loss shake your world, is there a safe place to land? In this deeply personal episode of A Widow's Heart, host Pam Lundell welcomes author, speaker, and Samaritan's Purse leader Lynne Rienstraw to talk about her powerful new book, Sacred Refuge: Finding Unexpected Shelter in Your Crisis. Their conversation moves from childhood wounds to widowhood, from cancer to car crashes—but through it all, a deeper truth emerges there is a refuge, and His name is Jesus. Pam and Lynn reflect on stories of modern-day women and sacred sisters from Scripture—like Hagar, Eve, and the widow from 2 Kings—who found hope and provision in the middle of heartbreak.

There is a safe place. And maybe this conversation is the reminder your heart's been waiting for.

In this episode, the relentless May soccer schedule as the boys break down two more NSC games versus the Red Bulls and DC United.  The boys share what they learned about the team this past week, including the thin bench up front and the propensity to cause Evan to have a stroke.  There's a couple of great firsts to highlight, including some beautiful soccer in the team's first-ever win against the Red Bulls, and Patrick Yazbek's first goal with the team.  And the boys also acknowledge the new curse that has befallen the team - that of the blue "Heart of Nashville" jerseys.  Then, the boys discuss the magic of independent radio and Buddy Holly's incredible short-lived run before sharing some really spicy thoughts on the potential for Chris Applewhite.  They wrap things up with some heartfelt letters to Coach Callaghan and some predictions from their crystal balls, which may or may not be on the fritz.  And they drink beer.

Steve Jones is the president of Stingray Radio. If you have been following him on Linked In, (and you should) you have been presented with many wild examples of what qualifies as Canadian content on the radio. We all have our favourites. Mine are the collection of songs circa 1991 like Rod Stewart's Rhythm of my Heart and Bonnie Riatt's Something to Talk About qualifying as Cancon, while the entire album of Bryan Adams' Waking Up The Neighbours is not. Over the years the list has grown, and now that our planet is more connected than ever with technology, there is a need for Canada to update how Cancon is determined.Steve recognizes the lack of Canadian content recognition on streaming platforms and calls for a collaborative approach to modernize Canadian content rules.I suggest during this conversation that the regulations for radio should also include spoken word content; the regs are already in place for television.

RUNDOWN   Episode 335 opens with a classic Mitch-and-Hotshot cold open built around a unique problem: there's no area code 335. But that doesn't stop Mitch from spinning it into a musical deep dive centered on the new Eddie Vedder Cup, the tongue-in-cheek prize for the Mariners–Padres rivalry. The two riff on San Diego's surprisingly rich musical heritage — from Blink-182 and Stone Temple Pilots to Iron Butterfly and Heart — as Mitch tries to reel in Hotshot with rock trivia and storytelling. Then it's a packed slate of sports. Mitch breaks down the Mariners' stunning three-game sweep of the Padres, with big contributions from unlikely heroes like Dylan Moore and Rowdy Tellez, and serious praise for the bullpen and manager Dan Wilson. Brady Farkas and Joe Doyle join to analyze Seattle's weirdly dominant road performances, the emergence of Brian Woo as a potential All-Star and ace, and what to expect with George Kirby's return. On the football side, Mitch unpacks the Seahawks' 2025 schedule, including an unprecedented ESPN+ Monday Night game with a 10 PM ET kickoff. He also dives into the quarterback gauntlet Seattle won't face — just two of the top 12 QBs from 2024's passer efficiency ratings. Chance Miller, AD at Coastal Carolina, discusses a groundbreaking promotion giving free concessions to football attendees — and how it actually boosts revenue. Mariners' No-Table give their scouting analysis on the Mariners' rotation depth and the likelihood of a Cole Young call-up. Nick Sheridan, Alabama's co-OC, gives us an inside look at Jalen Milroe — his arm, his speed, and what Seattle fans should expect from their rookie quarterback. The episode wraps with “The Other Stuff” — from John Madden: The Movie to Scottie Scheffler's third major win to Brock Purdy's $265 million payday.   GUESTS   Chance Miller | Athletic Director, Coastal Carolina University Joe Doyle | MLB Draft/Prospect Analyst, OverSlot Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast Nick Sheridan | Co-Offensive Coordinator, Alabama Crimson Tide   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Mitch can't find a musical angle for “335,” so he invents one, leading to the Eddie Vedder Cup and a tour of San Diego's musical icons. 20:13 | Mariners Buzz – Cole Young's hot streak, Rowdy Tellez's timely swings, Dylan Moore's clutch factor, and why the team plays so much better on the road. 35:41 | Guest: Chance Miller – Coastal Carolina's AD breaks down how “Feast for Free” unlimited hot dogs, popcorn, drinks | works financially — and why it's not a gimmick. 55:01 | Guest: Mariners' No-Table, Brady Farkas & Joe Doyle – evaluate Brian Woo's All-Star candidacy, George Kirby's return, and who stays/goes in the Mariners' crowded rotation.

PTF kicks off the show with Nick Tammaro as they take a look back at an amazing day of racing in Baltimore with thoughts on Journalism, Gosger, Heart of Honor, Goal Oriented and all the rest. They also look ahead to the Belmont Stakes wondering who will be the favorite if both Journalism and Sovereignty turn up.Then in an easy-breezy second segment of the show torn from the In the Money Media Youtube channel, PTF and JK go over their top takeaways from the Preakness.Last but not least, at 52:20 Tom Reynolds tells us about his new book Get Off Your Phone and Start Living.*Takeaways: Monmouth Park has distinguished itself by sending the highest number of players to the NHC over the past five years, showcasing its prominence in the horse racing landscape. The upcoming $2,000 Pick Your Prize Handicapping Challenge at Monmouth Park on May 31 offers not only NHC seats but also Breeders' Cup Betting Challenge seats and cash prizes, emphasizing its significance. In the podcast, we discussed the importance of saving the date for major contests like the Pick Your Prize Challenge, which is a prime opportunity for contest players. The episode highlights the chance for players to qualify for the contest via horse tourneys, reinforcing the accessibility and engagement of the racing community. A critical analysis was offered regarding the jockey Umberto Rispoli's ride, where it was suggested that he unnecessarily limited the horse's potential by not taking a more advantageous route during the race. The conversation emphasized the importance of understanding race dynamics, including how the pace and the decisions of jockeys can significantly impact race outcomes.

Join Lisa and Laura for our series Names of God. In biblical times, names were of great importance—they conveyed a person's essence, history, nature, or character. As we explore the various names of God in the Old Testament, we gain insight into His character. With each name, we will learn a new attribute, deepening our understanding of and growing closer to God. In today's episode, we explore our second name, El Shaddai, which comes from two Hebrew words, “El,” the singular word for God, and Shaddai, meaning “Almighty” or “All-Sufficient.”  Do you believe that God is your Sustainer and has the power to show up in impossible situations and work miracles? Or do you take matters into your own hands when it looks like God isn't coming through on His promises? Today's conversation is one of our favorites, and you are encouraged to grab a cold drink, your Bible, settle in, and receive the truth you desperately need to hear: God can do the impossible. Open your Heart to our key Scripture. Genesis 17:1: When Abram was ninety-nine years old the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless." Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. Genesis 12:1–2: Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.” Genesis 15:2–3: “O Lord God, what will you give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?” And Abram said, “Behold, you have given me no offspring; and a slave born in my house will be my heir.” Genesis 15:4: “This man shall not be your heir; your own son shall be your heir.” Genesis 16 Genesis 17 Genesis 18:12–14: So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, “After I have grown old, and my husband is old, shall I have pleasure?” The Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, and say, 'Shall I indeed bear a child, now that I am old?' Is anything too hard for the Lord?” Genesis 18:15: But Sarah denied saying, “I did not laugh”; for she was afraid. And He said, “No, but you did laugh.” Genesis 22 Romans 4:18–21: In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations; as he had been told, “So shall your descendants be.” He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old, or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah's womb. No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. Psalm 91:1–2: He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, who abides in the shadow of the Almighty, will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.” Invite Him in with this episode's questions for reflection. How is God calling you to trust Him as El Shaddai? Look at that area of life where He is asking you to trust Him and ask yourself whether there's a root of bitterness in your heart because you feel He is taking too long.  Show mentions.

In January 1999, Miriam Illes was gunned down in her kitchen while on the phone with a friend. There were no witnesses. No fingerprints. And the few pieces of physical evidence—an oversized shoe print, a cigarette butt, and a homemade silencer—seemed to point nowhere.Her estranged husband, Dr. Richard Illes, was a respected heart surgeon with a thriving career, a new girlfriend, and a bitter custody battle underway. He also had an airtight alibi—until investigators started pulling at the seams.It was a murder that some called “almost perfect,” but ultimately it unraveled under the weight of its own misdirection. Anonymous letters, planted evidence, and a chilling unfinished manuscript brought one man's elaborate plan crashing down.Was it a brilliant cover-up? Or a case of ego gone wrong?Support us on PatreonToday's snack: Albanese Candy assortment (thanks Lana!)Sources:https://www.lycolaw.org/uploads/opinions/2005-Illes070805br.pdf The Perfect Murder, S1 E1, The Heart Shot.Kinney, David. “Reward offered in woman's slaying.” The News Journal (Wilmington, Delaware), 04 Sep. 1999.Shellem, Pete. “Doctor objects to grand jury writ.” The Patriot-News (Harrisburg, Pennsylvania), 19 Jan. 2000.Beauge, John. “‘We're looking for justice'.” The Patriot-News (Harrisburg, Pennsylvania), 09 Dec. 2001.Lewerenz, Dan. “Police: Silencer ties husband to wife's killing.” Centre Daily Times, 19 Dec. 2002.Lewerenz, Dan. “Surgeon sniper shot wife: Police.” National Post, 20 Dec. 2002.Dale, Maryclaire. “Physician arrested in Spokane for 1999 Pennsylvania slaying.” The News Tribune (Tacoma, Washington), 23 Dec. 2002.Beauge, John. “Doctor wished wife dead, nurse testifies.” The Patriot-News (Harrisburg, Pennsylvania), 20 Feb. 2003.Lewerenz, Dan. “Nurse says doc wanted wife dead.” Press Enterprise (Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania), 21 Feb. 2003.Beauge, John. “Heart surgeon's trial opens.” The Patriot-News (Harrisburg, Pennsylvania), 21 Jan. 2004.Beauge, John. “Suicide try lengthens mental hospital stay.” The Patriot-News (Harrisburg, Pennsylvania), 04 Mar. 2004.“Surgeon denies killing wife.” The Patriot-News (Harrisburg, Pennsylvania), 30 Mar. 2004.

What happens when the very thing that once lit you up feels out of reach—yet still lives deep in your soul, waiting to be reclaimed? In this episode, we sit down with Carla Sciaky, a lifelong musician, who opens up about her incredible journey from early musical brilliance to facing a dark night of the soul that transformed everything. Carla shares how her relationship with music shifted from pressure and perfectionism to something sacred—purpose-driven, healing, and deeply connected to Spirit. We explore how silence became her ally, how creativity cycles through light and shadow, and how music—far beyond just entertainment—has the power to change lives, starting with her own.From the science behind music's effect on the brain and body to its emotional influence on infants and elders alike, Carla offers a unique blend of personal story and universal truth. How does music shape our development? And what role can it play in reconnecting with who we truly are? Whether you're an artist, healer, or simply someone navigating your own transformation, Carla's wisdom will stir something in your soul. Tune in to remember the power of music—not just as a sound, but as a force for connection, healing, and coming home to yourself.Ways to Connect with Carla & her Music:https://www.carlasciaky.com/http://www.doorwaytoyourlife.com/Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n89CPWG4uELyric video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtQKKSbrEkgOrder an album on Carla's website: https://carlasciaky.com/index.html#storeP.S. A note from Carla: "It occurred to me to say that I really want other coaches, therapists, healers, etc., to feel free to use any of my songs in their work with clients, For example, my 12-step sponsor used to use my song “Awakening” (title song of my 1995 release) to do workshops and journaling exercises with recovering addicts. Putting on my musician/songwriter hat, I want to honor all musicians with the reminder that it is most respectful for anyone who puts our songs to use in this way to actually purchase either the individual cut or the album as a whole, and also to credit the songwriter, whoever it is. And at the same time, I would rather someone use it from YouTube or Spotify than not use it at all! I just want to mention that out of respect to all my fellow songwriters."About Carla Sciaky:Carla Sciaky has enjoyed over five decades in her career as a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, including a 2019 induction in the Colorado Music Hall of Fame with the group the Mother Folkers. Renowned for her clear articulate voice, strong fingerpicking style, and a warm intimacy with her audiences, she has toured the US and Europe, amassed a discography on Green Linnet and her own Propinquity labels, and was awarded awards and recognition for her songwriting in such arenas as the Kerrville New Song Competition, the Louisville (KY) songwriting competition, the Colorado Arts and Humanities Fellowship for Composition, and the Billboard Songwriting Competition. Her most recent solo album Heart of the Swan soared to the top of the folk radio charts upon its release in October 2024, and her music video “Standing by a River” has won multiple awards at film festivals worldwide in the categories of music video and songwriting. Carla has also performed on baroque violin as a core member of the Baroque Chamber Orchestra of Colorado and Sémplice Baroque, with Wyoming Baroque, Colorado Chamber Players and more. She lives with her husband Dan in Lakewood, Colorado, working as a published author and public speaker and with clients as a life coach through her practice Doorway to Your Life.Chapters00:00 Carla Sciaky's Musical Journey05:24 The Call Back to Music12:24 The Dark Night of the Soul17:32 Transforming the Creative Process25:54 The Impact of Music on People39:12 Music's Universal Language and Emotional Influence44:57 The Role of Silence in Creativity49:38 The Evolution of Music and Technology

“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'” - Matthew 25:40Some exciting things are happening that will give you more ways to help “the least of these” in God's Kingdom. Brian Holtz joins us today with details about how we can all have the greatest impact in helping those in need.Brian Holtz is the CEO of Compass Financial Ministry and the author of Financial Discipleship for Families: Intentionally Raising Faithful Children.A Call to Reach the MarginsWhen it comes to helping families in financial crisis, good intentions aren't always enough. Real transformation requires more than quick fixes—it takes relationships, discipleship, and time. That's the heart behind Making Ends Meet, a small group video study from Compass Financial Ministry designed to equip churches and communities to walk with struggling families toward lasting financial health.Most financial ministries have historically focused on middle—and upper-income families, but Compass felt God pushing them to address those with no financial margin at all—those who aren't just managing poorly but truly don't have enough income to meet basic needs.In response, Compass partnered with ministries that specialize in serving low-income families to learn the unique challenges these households face, many of which go far beyond budgeting.Why Money Alone Isn't EnoughSimply giving money doesn't create lasting change. It may provide short-term relief, but study after study shows that injecting money into poverty doesn't solve the deeper problem.That's not a reason to stop giving—it's a reason to start giving differently.Jesus didn't just heal people and walk away. He invited them to follow Him. That's the model we need to follow—combining financial help with relational investment.When someone is experiencing financial hardship, it's often not just a matter of dollars and cents—it's about identity, family history, and deeply ingrained beliefs. That's why true transformation requires more than a checkbook; it requires presence.When we invest relationally, we gain credibility. That allows us to speak into someone's life in a way that supports their heart and habits.Understanding the Emotional BarriersOne of the surprising lessons Compass learned during the development of Making Ends Meet is how emotional the journey out of poverty can be.Many poor communities are deeply interdependent. They share what they have and support each other in powerful ways, like the early church in Acts.But when someone begins to move toward financial stability, it can create fear: Will I lose my community if I start to thrive? Will I be accepted if I have more than those around me?This anxiety can be paralyzing, which is why patience and prayer are so critical. These are generational challenges. They won't be overcome overnight, but change is possible with consistent love and support.Learn More and Get InvolvedThe beauty of Making Ends Meet is its simplicity. You don't need to be a financial expert to use it. If you care about people and are willing to walk with them, the study provides a step-by-step framework to break cycles of poverty and help families build a new mindset.This is for anyone already serving in their community through their church, a shelter, or a mentoring ministry. Compass provides the tools to make that investment more effective.To explore how you or your church can use Making Ends Meet, visit CompassFinancialMinistry.org. Whether you're looking to lead a group or come alongside a struggling neighbor, this resource is designed to equip you to serve with compassion and wisdom.Helping others financially isn't just about generosity—it's about discipleship. When we combine truth, love, and time, God can do amazing things.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:How do I get banks to produce my bank statements further back than the seven-year period usually required to keep records?

Hi everyone! Welcome back to another episode of The Chai on Life Podcast. I'm Alex Segal and today I have Gila Levitt on the show. Gila is a Torah Marriage and Intimacy Specialist with over 20 years of experience empowering Jewish women to create emotionally connected, deeply fulfilling marriages. As the creator of Heart of Marriage: Soul Satisfying Oneness, she blends timeless Torah values with the latest research in emotional intelligence, brain science, and relational well-being.Gila's work is grounded, warm, and deeply respectful on each woman's inner world. She offers not just guidance—but clarity, chizuk, and a path forward for the woman who wants to become her best, most authentic self in her marriage. Through mindset shifts, emotional insight, and practical tools, she helps women align with who they truly want to be—in marriage and in life.  This episode was one I wasn't sure I wanted to do to be totally honest. It covers a really vulnerable topic and one that isn't often spoken about publicly. That being said, it's an important one, one that affects every marriage and every woman in some way so when Gila reached out, I really thought it through and it felt like a good opportunity to delve into things a little more.Because intimacy is such a private thing, it can be one women don't really feel comfortable getting help on or seeking support if they need it and I'm hoping this episode will help break a little bit of that stigma.In the episode we cover a lot — from what intimacy actually looks like in a Torah marriage — the mindset around it and the body-soul relationship to practical ways to achieve more connection to it if it's something that's hard for you. We speak about the differences between men and women in general and in this space that could be coming up and realistic expectations to have around its impact on your marriage.For more from Gila, visit heartofmarriage.org or reach out to Gila at info@heartofmarriage.org.For more classes from Gila on Kol Halashon, click here.--If there is someone you want to see on The Chai on Life Podcast, email me at alex@chaionlifemag.com or send me a DM @chaionlifemag.
