A relic from the early universe is racing through Libra. It’s moving across the constellation at 800,000 miles per hour. That’s far faster than most of the stars around us. So it’ll move out of Libra in the blink of a cosmic eye. The star is HD 140283. But it also has a nickname – the Methuselah Star. That’s because it’s probably about 13 billion to 14 billion years old. Since the universe itself is only 13.8 billion years old, that makes the star one of the oldest anywhere. Astronomers have pieced together several bits of evidence to arrive at that age. The key bit is the star’s composition. It has very low levels of elements that are heavier than hydrogen and helium, the simplest elements. Heavier elements were created in the hearts of stars, then spewed into space when the stars died. Some of these elements then were incorporated into later generations of stars. HD 140283 has less than half a percent as much iron as the Sun, with slightly higher levels of oxygen and a few other elements. Those abundances tell astronomers the star must have been born when the universe was brand new. As night falls, the star is to the lower left of Zubeneschamali, Libra’s leading light. It’s too faint to see with the eye alone, but it is visible through binoculars. Script by Damond Benningfield

When you look at someone's position, you see the glory. But do you see the weight? Pastor Keion Henderson unpacks what actually happened during the transfer of leadership at The Potter's House almost a year ago. Drawing from the biblical transfer between Elijah and Elisha (1 Kings 19:19-21, 2 Kings 2:9-15), he reveals how Elisha didn't ask for the position. He asked for the spirit that drove the man. Because every great move of God costs somebody something. When God calls you, He first asks you to change your plans to change someone else's world. And when you're tired? God says to get up because sometimes His answer to our discouragement is divine assignment. Pastor Henderson says the mantle only falls on motion. Elisha was working his 12 oxen when the call came. He wasn't waiting for perfection; he was faithful with what he had. And the mantle isn't just on the Roberts — it's on you. The church. A transfer is coming. What are you going to do with it? Message: “It's Heavier Than It Looks” Scripture: 1 Kings 19:19-21, 2 Kings 2:9-15, John 14:12 (NET) Speaker: Pastor Keion Henderson Date: June 7, 2026 ✨ Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don't have to walk this journey alone.

ETP 218 is all about progression models. The whole conversation starts from one non-negotiable idea: eventually there has to be real, tangible progression. Most of the "models" people get excited about are really just different ways to make the process less mundane than running linear or double progression forever. And to be clear, LP and DP are still the GOAT. They're proven, time-tested, and they work. We break down what they actually are and why they've earned that status.The catch with all of these models is that they live and die by consistent form. Heavier weights or more reps with execution falling apart isn't progress. A big reason we like employing these models in the first place is that they tend to produce more consistent output and execution than LP/DP, where the only thing you're chasing is weight and reps. That consistency is a lot of why they're effective.From there we walk through the models we actually use and where each one fits.Covered in this episode:Why LP and DP are the proven foundation, and why everything else is built on top of themWave loading, including the 4/3/2 strength model and the 4-3-2-1-0 weekly RIR approach Bryan often runs, where the goal is to beat the same week in sequence so progression plays out over a five to six week windowBryan's current favorite: 2-week microcycles, alternating an intensity week (2 x 5-8 to 0-1 RIR) with a volume week (4-5 x 5-6 at 85-90% of the prior week's load)Rep goal progression, basically a more fun spin on double progression, hitting a total rep target across your sets before adding loadReverse pyramid and top set plus back-off work, where progression is driven mostly by the top set and the back-offs chase stimulusVolume progression, the original RP model, where workload climbs week to week before load goes up across the mesoDensity progression, doing the same work in less time, plus Aaron playing devil's advocate on whether efficiency gains actually confirm strength or hypertrophy progress or just imply itLoad cycling across longer time frames, meso to mesoMyo-rep and rest-pause progression, beating your total rep count session to sessionTimestamps:00:00:00 Episode Introduction and Personal Updates00:13:41 Refining Hypertrophy In-Person Seminar00:14:41 Goodlabs Discounted Private Bloodwork00:15:10 Diving into Progression Models00:22:39 Waveloading and Its Applications00:29:22 Set Structures and Rep Ranges00:31:44 Microcycle Training: Balancing Intensity and Volume00:34:28 Understanding Reps and Volume in Training00:36:45 The Benefits of Volume Weeks00:38:14 Rep Goal Progression: A Fun Approach00:39:19 Top Set Back Off Set: A Popular Training Method00:43:32 Exploring Pyramid Training: A Classic Approach00:47:54 Volume Progression: Pros and Cons00:52:31 Density Progression: Efficiency vs. Effectiveness00:58:08 Load Cycling: A Structured Approach to Progression01:02:38 Myo Reps: Time-Efficient Training Techniques Work 1:1 with Aaron ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/nutrition-coaching-apply-now/Done For You Client Check-In System for Coaches ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/macronutrient-reporting-check-in-template/Paragon Training Methods Programming ⬇️https://paragontrainingmethods.comFollow Bryan's Evolved Training Systems Programming ⬇️https://evolvedtrainingsystems.comFind Us on Social Media  ⬇️IG | @Eat.Train.ProsperIG | @bryanboorsteinIG | @aaron_strakerYT | EAT TRAIN PROSPER PODCAST

For the past decade, I have taught love as a business philosophy, but I recently had to face a painful contradiction: I was building a LOVE LED™ company while leading myself entirely from fear. Today is the first installment of a special mini-series I'm bringing to you here on the podcast, where I'm breaking down why success so often feels heavier than it should. I'm sharing the raw truth of how a fear-led operating system broke me down and how that same pattern causes brilliant leaders to watch their growth collapse the moment they trade their original calling for rank obsession. This episode will help you identify exactly which operating system is running your business. I'd love to have you join me for the rest of this mini-series, where I'll unpack the four masks of fear, why the standard industry systems are failing you, and the three phases of LOVE LED™ development to help you restore the proper order and reclaim your peace. Listen to Learn:  0:30 - The "Fishes and Loaves" season and how Missy grew her sales from $110k to over $200k in three months without following a standard corporate script or system 2:21 - The exact moment a major promotion shifts a business from effortless peace to heavy expectations and the feeling that you can never turn it off 3:45 - Why shifting into pushing and over-managing causes your best leaders to pull back and your business growth to collapse 6:56 - My personal realization of how I spent 10 years teaching love as a philosophy while secretly leading myself from fear 8:04 - A look at the core differences between Fear-Led Growth that breaks people down, and LOVE LED™ Growth that builds people up 9:26 - Unmasking "The Order" and the ways that a subtle shift in your underlying operating system changes everything 11:59 - The danger of tying your sense of self to a volatile monthly number that you ultimately cannot control 15:23 -: How anchoring your identity and keeping love in the source position allows you to grow a business that feeds your soul, instead of draining it 18:48 - A preview of what's next in this mini-series, include a dive into the four masks of fear, the failure of industry systems, and the three phases of love-led development Click here to subscribe to our LOVE-LED™ Weekly emails!  Follow me on Threads & Instagram at @bob_heilig Join our free Network Marketing Community Subscribe to our YouTube Channel

FREE Self-Scaling Business Workshop: https://getepicsuccess.com/registration-yt WORK With Me: https://getepicsuccess.com/ceo-org   Most business owners think scaling means more.   More people. More meetings. More offers. More systems. More things to manage.   And for a while, that works.   Revenue goes up. The team gets bigger. There's more momentum.   But then you look at your calendar and think:   "I thought I was building freedom… so why does this feel heavier than it used to?"   That's the Bigger Job Trap.   In this episode of the Epic Success Podcast / Scaled CEO Show, I'm breaking down why your business can get bigger without becoming more scalable — and how to start getting out of the middle of every decision, fire, and exception.   Because if your business grows, but still depends on your brain for every important thing…   you didn't scale.   You built a more expensive, more exhausting version of your old job.   Inside This Episode:   ● Why scaling can secretly make your job bigger   How more revenue, more team, and more systems can still leave you trapped in the middle of everything   ● The brain pattern keeping you stuck   Why your nervous system learned that "me in the middle" equals safety, survival, and growth   ● Why being needed can feel like proof you're doing it right   How answering every question, rescuing every project, and closing every deal trains your brain to stay indispensable   ● The truth about bigger vs. scalable   Why real scaling means the business needs less of you as it grows — not more   ● The "Scaling or Bigger Job?" test   The simple question that reveals where your business is still dependent on you   ● How to stop grabbing the wheel   A practical way to move one decision category off your plate without panicking or losing control   ● The 90-day operating system that helps you escape   How your CEO System, Team System, and Profit System work together to make the business less dependent on you every week   If You're a Business Owner Who:   ● Has more revenue than before, but less freedom than you expected ● Feels like every important decision still comes back to you ● Has a team, but still acts as the backup brain for everything ● Keeps saying, "I'll step back after this next push" ● Knows the business looks successful from the outside, but feels heavier behind the scenes ● Wants to scale without accidentally scaling your old job   This episode will show you exactly what's happening.   The Real Shift:   Bigger is not the same as scalable.   A bigger business still needs you in every fire.   A scalable business gets stronger as it depends on you less.   And the way out isn't to push harder, hire faster, or build more complexity.   It's to install the operating system that moves ownership, decisions, and outcomes out of your head — and into the business.   Ready to Fix This for Real?   Join me live for the Self-Scaling Business Workshop, where we:   ● Score your CEO, Team, and Profit systems ● Identify where the business is still over-relying on you ● Pinpoint your biggest constraint for the next 90 days ● Map what to change first so your business can scale without making your job bigger  

The week of May 25, 2026 delivered one for the record books — and not just one record. Valentine Livestock in Valentine, NE set the highest daily weighted average for 7-weight steers in U.S. history: $407.28/cwt on 2,582 head. Five of the top 10 all-time 7-wt steer sales nationally now belong to Valentine — all set on the same day. Meanwhile, packers bid $253 live all week while yards held at $260. Only 1,559 head traded through Thursday morning. The $7 standoff held. Chains ramp back to 530–540K next week — that's the pressure point. Slaughter for the Memorial Day week came in at 448,000 head — the smallest Memorial Day week cattle kill in modern history. YTD kill is running 9.2% below last year's pace. Heavier cattle (avg live weight 1,469 lbs, up 45 lbs year-over-year) are backstopping beef output, but YTD beef production is still 6.6% below the prior year. Boxed beef ribs ran +$18.50/cwt in a single week. Choice cutout closed at $391.47 — net up $1.20 on the week despite two down days Friday. Screwworm is 60 miles from the U.S. border. All southern ports of entry remain closed to livestock imports. No timeline on reopening. Mexican cattle are not coming. That feeder supply hole stays open heading into summer. Strait of Hormuz: U.S. and Iran agreed to a 60-day ceasefire extension. Shipping stays unrestricted — for now. WTI crude sold off on the news, erasing an earlier 3% gain. First crack in 14 straight weeks of fertilizer price increases showed up this week — potash and UAN32 eased. High Plains drought is expanding. Kansas Poor-to-Very Poor winter wheat: 55%. National Good/Excellent: 26%. Nevada and Great Basin fire outlook: above normal through summer.

The weight of being perceived is heavier than you think means understanding the surprisingly large mental cost of being watched or evaluated. This guide explores how much energy goes into managing how others see you, and what happens when you finally let that weight go.

If you've ever looked at your dumbbell collection and thought, “Am I supposed to just keep buying heavier weights forever?” then this episode is for you.Britany breaks down one of the most misunderstood concepts in fitness: progressive overload. She explains how muscle growth doesn't only come from lifting heavier and how women working out at home can continue building strength, muscle, and better health even when they feel stuck with the equipment they already have.She also shares the honest reality of home workouts, why your body adapts faster than you think, and the uncomfortable truth about why many women stop seeing results in their workouts.In this episode, we discuss: What progressive overload actually means  Why muscle growth is about more than just lifting heavier  Mechanical tension explained simply  How to gain muscle with limited dumbbells  How to use reps, tempo, and sets to continue progressing  Why your workouts may no longer feel effective Resources mentioned in this episode:Get 20% off The Essential Dumbbell Exercise Tutorial Guide hereGet a free 7-day trial of the Sweat App and join Britany's Mid Year Challenge SIGN UP FOR BRITANY'S NEWSLETTERhttps://britany.myflodesk.com/filterfreeASK BRITANY A QUESTION OR REQUEST A TOPIChttps://forms.gle/j9NC3yM5vrdBs8mJ8

Gabe assigned some special homework for us. Pick a "heavy metal" album from the 1970s and 1980s that we had not heard before prior. Ben chose Sick of it All - Blood, Sweat, and No Tears. David picked Dio - Holy Diver. Tracey selected Diamond Head - Borrowed Time. Gabe chose Pentagram - Relentless. Disappointment and insanity ensued.

April Was A Record Setting Month For Feeder Cattle Sales April wrapped up the month with tremendous action for many weight classes.  7 weight steers in particular surged in the month of April posting the second highest weighted average in US history at $399.87 - just shy of the $404.68 mark set earlier in the month.  The all time top ten 7 weight steer weighted averages continue to be dominated by recent trade.  April alone accounted for 7 of those top averages, with February holding the other three.  That kind of concentration shows how quickly this market has accelerated through the spring, with multiple sessions pushing into record territory in only a matter of weeks.  Atkinson Livestock Market (Atkinson, NE) hosted a Special Feeder Calf Auction on Tuesday, April 28th that delivered exceptional results, setting 17 steer records and establishing new all-time highs across multiple weight classes. A group of 40 head averaging 335 lbs brought $702.50, marking a new barn record for 3 weights and the first 10-head-plus sale ever over $700. In the 4-weight category, 28 head at 408 lbs sold for $611.00, a new record and only the second sale over $600 in barn history. Six-weight steers also set new highs, with 600–602 lb cattle bringing $497.00 and $482.50. The momentum continued with 40 head of 716 lb steers at $453.00, a new barn record and the third highest 7-weight price in U.S. history. Heavier cattle followed suit, as 54 head of 904 lb steers sold for $364.50, the first 9-weight sale over $360 and a new barn record, while 1,015 lb steers reached $326.00, the third highest 10-weight price in barn history and the highest since October. It was a standout day in Atkinson, Nebraska.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Reasoning Through the Bible, Job chapter 6 is examined verse by verse as Job responds to Eliphaz from the depths of grief, pain, and emotional despair. This study highlights Job's raw honesty, his mistaken belief that God is directly attacking him, and his continued refusal to abandon the Lord even while suffering intensely. The passage also shows how deeply hurtful it can be when friends respond to tragedy with vague accusations, weak comfort, or gossip instead of compassion.This Bible study is especially helpful for listeners searching for teaching on Job 6, Christian suffering, how to comfort the hurting, grief and despair in the Bible, false accusations, gossip in the church, and God's sovereignty in suffering. Job 6 provides practical wisdom for enduring pain, caring for suffering people, and trusting God when life makes no sense.Support the showThank you for listening!!  Please give us a five-star rating to help your podcast provider's algorithm spread RTTB among their listeners. You can find free study and leader resources at the following link - Resource Page - Reasoning Through the BiblePlease prayerfully consider supporting RTTB to help us to continue providing content and free resources.

Slower. Heavier. More emotional. And that's not something we talk about enough.Inside this episode, I share what this shift can feel like, how it's shown up for me, and how I've been supporting myself through it, physically and mentally as I prepare for birth.If you're in your third trimester and not quite feeling like yourself, give this a listen!

Hello to you listening in the Town of Flower Mound, Texas!  Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more for a story) for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.   Long ago, Father Sky gave Anansi the spider a large clay pot. This pot contained all the wisdom in the world - every secret, every solution, every insight that had ever been or ever would be. Anansi was thrilled. He clutched the pot close to his chest and began climbing up the tallest tree in the forest, thinking he would hide the pot at the very top where only he could reach it. All that wisdom would be his alone. But as he climbed the pot grew heavier and heavier. Wisdom kept spilling over the sides and falling like rain on the forest floor below. The harder Anansi tried to hold onto the pot and the tree the more wisdom fell to earth. From far below his young son called up: "Father, wouldn't it have been easier to tie the pot to your back?” Anansi stopped climbing. His own child had wisdom he didn't possess. He looked down at the forest floor where the spilled wisdom was taking root: flowers of understanding blooming, streams of compassion flowing, creatures gathering to drink from pools of imagination that sparkled in the sunlight. In that moment, Anansi knew he was wrong. He hurled the pot down from the tree where it shattered on the forest floor. All the wisdom scattered to the winds, settling into every corner of the world. That is why the old ones say no one person holds all the wisdom. It lives in each of us, waiting to be shared, waiting to be joined with others, waiting to become something greater than any one person could create alone. Story Prompt: What is the singular wisdom that you hold in your story that is ready to be shared? Write that story and tell it out loud!   You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

[AS Designs] ARHK (Nick) The ARHK is a fully self-contained drop-in cassette trigger unit built on ARC-Fire technology, designed specifically for HK roller-delayed platforms such as MP5, MP5K, AP53, G3, and HK21 clones. It installs directly into factory OEM polymer housings without modifications, features a pre-installed ejector, and offers a three-position selector: Safe, Semi (standard trigger pull), and Active Reset via ARC-Fire clutch. It maintains compatibility with all bolt carrier types, including full-auto. [Impact Kote] Custom Scope Wraps (Nick) Impact Kote offers custom scope wraps designed for precision rifle shooters. Specific technical details such as mechanical features, pricing, and availability are not detailed on the page. The content primarily consists of a general announcement without explicit product specifications. [Shomer-Tec] Escape Button™ The Escape Button™ is a covert escape and evasion tool disguised as a standard mil-spec 3/4 inch diameter plastic BDU button, featuring a pivoting 7/16 inch serrated 1095 steel blade that deploys via fingernail along the perimeter for cutting restraints like zip-ties, cord, rope, and tape. It attaches to clothing with low breaking-strength thread in accessible areas for use even with bound wrists. Manufactured in the USA with all USA components, it weighs 0.05 oz and is available in black, tan, and olive drab. BULLET POINTS Bus Built Systems PBP Gen 3 (Nick) The PBP Gen 3 from Bus Built Systems is a laser-cut 1/8-inch thick 304 stainless steel plate designed for mounting bags to an Arca rail, featuring an Arca clamp on one side and Arca rail on the other. It supports multiple bags from various manufacturers via perimeter slots and includes scallops for stability on props like cattle gates, plus fore and aft holes for optics or accessories. Powder coated in Bus Built Yellow, it weighs roughly a pound and a half without a bag. AR-15 Buffer Weights for Suppressed Tuning (H2 Buffer) The H2 buffer for AR-15 rifles weighs approximately 4.6 ounces and contains two tungsten weights, designed to slow down the bolt carrier group and reduce recoil in suppressed setups without needing an adjustable gas block. It is a popular choice for short-barreled rifles and suppressed AR-15s to manage increased backpressure from silencers. Heavier buffers like the H2 help fine-tune over-gassed systems by increasing mass. 1X Prism Optic A 1X prism optic uses a glass prism to focus both the target image and an etched reticle, which can be optionally illuminated without requiring batteries for basic use. It provides clarity and durability advantages over red dots, particularly for users with astigmatism, and supports complex reticles like ACSS with bullet drop compensation. Though not truly 1X, any magnification is negligible in practice. GUN FIGHTS No one stepped into the arena this week. THE AGENCY BRIEF WLS IS LIFESTYLE 9mm Speed-Loader for Glock, SIG, CZ, Springfield The 9mm Speed-Loader is a 3D printable tray that holds 10 rounds for quick reloading of compatible magazines from Glock, SIG, CZ, and Springfield. It features holes for bracing against a surface to ease loading without thumb strain from compressed springs. Print profiles include options with or without text, using 0.2mm layers, 3 walls, and 15% infill. GOING BALLISTIC Alberta and Saskatchewan Reject Federal Gun Confiscation Program from Ottawa (Savage) Alberta and Saskatchewan have publicly opposed Ottawa's federal firearm confiscation program, which banned about 2,500 firearms with a voluntary declaration deadline of March 31. Alberta's Minister of Justice Mickey Amery affirmed non-participation, directing provincial entities including law enforcement to decline implementation under provincial sovereignty legislation. Saskatchewan passed legislation to hinder the program, prompting criticism from Federal Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree. John Lott on U.S. Military Bases Gun-Free Zones Policy (1992-1993) (Savage) John Lott argues that U.S. military bases should never have implemented gun-free zones, as these policies disarm trained personnel, leaving them vulnerable to attackers, evidenced by multiple mass shootings totaling 24 murdered and 38 wounded. The restrictions originated in 1992 under President George H.W. Bush and were enacted in 1993 by President Clinton to create a more ‘professional, business-like' environment. In contrast, troops carried weapons at all times in Iraq and Afghanistan without internal violence. Antonyuk v. James: New York Permanent Injunction on Social Media Gun Permit Requirement (Savage) In Antonyuk v. James, the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York issued a permanent injunction against New York's requirement for concealed carry applicants to disclose social media accounts from the past three years, as part of the Concealed Carry Improvement Act. The state consented to this injunction, removing the provision from the PPB-3 license application form. Litigation continues on other aspects of the Act, including restrictions on sensitive locations. Trump's FY2027 Budget Proposal (Civil Rights Division and ATF Funding for 2A Protection) (Savage) President Trump's FY2027 budget proposal includes targeted federal funding to defend Second Amendment rights, such as $1.4 million for a new office in the DOJ Civil Rights Division to protect against unlawful infringements and pursue enshrining those rights. It allocates $4.8 million to the Office of the Pardon Attorney's Firearm Rights Restoration Initiative for law-abiding citizens to regain rights post-justice obligations. The budget supports ATF in reversing prior regulations on background checks, pistol braces, homemade firearms, and FFL revocations, redirecting focus to illegal traffickers. Beckwith v. Frey: First Circuit Rules Gun Purchases Not Protected by Second Amendment (Savage) In Beckwith et al. v. Frey, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit reversed a district court's preliminary injunction against Maine's 2024 72-hour waiting period for gun purchases (Me. Stat. tit. 25, § 2016). The panel held that the Second Amendment's plain text protects keeping and bearing arms but not the act of purchasing or acquiring firearms. This creates a circuit split with other circuits recognizing a right to acquire arms. ATF Frames and Receivers Rule (Updating 2021R-05F) – Bondi v. VanDerStok (Savage) The ATF is preparing a new draft rule updating the 2021R-05F ‘Definition of ‘Frame or Receiver' and Identification of Firearms,' which expands the definition of ‘firearm' to include partially completed frames, receivers, and certain parts kits that are ‘readily' completable. This follows the 2022 rule upheld by the Supreme Court in Bondi v. VanDerStok (2025). The update eases restrictions on some metal unfinished kits while maintaining strict regulation on polymer frames. REVIEWS Review: Operative Agent J Freedom from Illinois Comiforina wants full gun control, and the latest suit against gatalog proves it's not about public safety. Ironic, that their top gun control tard was running guns, Yang I think his name was. And they literally had politicians hiring Chinese spys, and one threatening to nuke us. Operative Agent J Freedom Review: Griz from Texas Absolutely phenomenal podcast. It takes real talent to talk for this long and somehow say so little, but the hosts pull it off with impressive consistency. Every episode feels like a masterclass in wandering off-topic, repeating the same points, and stretching what could be five minutes of content into a full episode. The chemistry between the hosts is undeniable—mostly because they seem just as confused about where the conversation is going as the listeners are. The audio quality is great though, which really helps you clearly hear every awkward pause and questionable take. If you're looking for a podcast that will make you appreciate literally every other podcast out there, this one is a must-listen. Five squares for the unforgettable experience. Secret Notes Griz Review: JackB from Texas 5 squares.

Let me ask you something. When you look in the mirror in the morning, does your face feel like yours? Because so many women I talk to describe the same thing. Puffier. Heavier. Softer in places that used to feel defined. And they have tried everything to fix it. Different products. Better serums. More steps. Nothing works. And here is why. They are trying to fix a systems problem with a skincare solution. In this episode, I am getting into what is actually happening underneath your skin during menopause. The lymphatic slowdown, the cortisol connection, the sleep piece nobody talks about. And why understanding this changes everything about how you approach your face. This is not about adding more. It is about finally understanding what your body is trying to tell you.

Rob Damiani of Don Broco and Brandon Saller of Atreyu join Loaded Radio to break down the mindset behind their latest albums, Nightmare Tripping and The End Is Not The End. Both bands had momentum—and chose not to repeat it. Damiani dives into the themes behind Don Broco's most unpredictable release yet, including the politically charged "True Believers," while Saller explains why Atreyu leaned into their heaviest sound to date and how writing sessions in Tokyo and total isolation shaped the record. This conversation goes beyond surface-level promo. It gets into risk, identity, and why both bands decided to push forward instead of playing it safe. If you've followed either band for years, this is the kind of insight you don't usually get.

Strength training doesn't have to be complicated. But it can feel confusing when you're trying to figure it out on your own.   Questions like how heavy you should be lifting, how to structure your workouts, or how to work toward a pull-up come up all the time. And in this episode, I answer some of the most common strength training questions I hear from my clients and coaching community so you can train with more clarity and confidence.   Listen in this week to learn how to progress when the next dumbbell feels too heavy, how to know if the weight you're lifting is challenging enough, and how to protect your joints while still getting stronger. I'll also explain why soreness isn't required for progress, how long your workouts actually need to be, and how to structure your strength training across the week so it fits into real life.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://carriehollandmd.com/195   Follow me on Facebook and Instagram: https://www.facebook.com/carriehollandmd https://www.instagram.com/carriehollandmd/

Half of women report leaking when they lift heavy, and we have somehow decided that's normal. I'm not interested in telling you to accept it or to stop lifting. I want to help you understand what's happening when you brace, why it shows up most on squats, deadlifts, and cleans, and how small coaching cues can protect your pelvic floor without sacrificing strength.We get into the difference between a powerful brace and “bearing down,” using the core canister model to explain why pressure distribution matters. I talk through the common patterns I see in lifters: the pelvic floor that can't quite keep up with heavy load yet, and the lifter who tries so hard not to leak that she over-tightens with constant kegels and ends up with pain or other symptoms. You'll learn the bracing cue I use most, how to spot your symptom threshold, and how to build back up with smart sub-threshold training.Then we tackle the weightlifting belt. I'm pro-belt when it's used as a performance aid, but the belt can backfire if it changes your bracing strategy or becomes artificial support too early, especially postpartum. We cover how to choose a belt that fits your sport rules, why even width matters, how tight is tight enough, and when most athletes realistically return to hard bracing and belt use after having a baby.If you lift, coach, or are returning to training postpartum, this conversation is packed with practical pelvic floor advice, bracing technique, and performance-focused takeaways. Subscribe for more evidence-based training guidance, share this with a lifting partner who needs it, and leave a review to help more moms keep barbells in their lives.___________________________________________________________________________Don't miss out on any of the TEA coming out of the Barbell Mamas by subscribing to our newsletter You can also follow us on Instagram and YouTube for all the up-to-date information you need about pelvic health and female athletes.

The WTA draw in Miami is out, and there's plenty to unpack. In this episode, we break down the key storylines from the Miami Open draw—from tricky first-round matchups to the big question marks surrounding the top seeds. We start with an intriguing R1 clash between Tjen and Putintseva, a matchup that could bring plenty of contrast in styles and attitude right from the opening round. Then we look at Alexandra Eala's path, with the rising Filipina set to face the winner of Siegemund vs. Marcinko—a fascinating generational matchup that could determine whether Eala gets a crafty veteran or a powerful young opponent in her opener. Of course, the biggest headline surrounds Aryna Sabalenka. After her success in Indian Wells, can she complete the elusive Sunshine Double? We analyze her section of the draw, the potential early threats, and what it would take for her to go back-to-back in the desert and Miami. Finally, we zoom out to examine the overall balance of the draw. Is the top half significantly heavier than the bottom half, and which players might benefit from the distribution? We highlight the dangerous floaters, potential dark horses, and the matches that could shape the tournament before the second week even begins. If you're looking for a quick but detailed preview of the WTA Miami draw, including key matchups, upset alerts, and title contenders, this episode has you covered.

Napoleon Livestock Feeder Cattle Break Records Napoleon Livestock turned in a historic performance last week, rewriting the record books with 18 new barn records and an especially powerful showing in the 5-weight division. The highlight of the sale came in the 500-pound range. A draft of 54 head weighing 505 pounds sold for $567.50, followed by 29 head at 506 pounds for $560.00 and 18 head at 509 pounds for $557.50. Those sales now stand as the top three 5-weight prices in barn history. In total, five of the top ten all-time 5-weight prices were set in a single day. Momentum carried into the 4-weights, where 14 head at 472 pounds brought $580.00, helping place four new entries among the top ten 4-weight prices on record. The strength didn't stop there. In the 6-weights, 111 head at 619 pounds sold for $471.00 and 36 head at 621 pounds brought $470.00 — ranking among the top ten all-time, including the third- and fourth-highest 6-weight prices in barn history. Seven-weights also made headlines, as 25 head at 703 pounds sold for $420.00, marking the third-highest 7-weight price ever recorded at the barn. Heavier cattle followed suit. Steers weighing 807 to 820 pounds brought $375.00 to $376.00, earning the fifth-, sixth-, and seventh-highest 8-weight prices on record. In the 9-weights, 59 head at 928 pounds sold for $347.50, securing the sixth-highest price in barn history for that class. The sale will go down as one of the strongest in the history of the barn, with standout demand across nearly every weight category.

This week felt heavy, not catastrophic, not dramatic, just layered. I'm sharing about our recent surrogate embryo transfer and finding out it didn't take. Even when you know the statistics, hope quietly builds a future in the back of your mind, and each time that future dissolves, the grief is real. I talk about what it feels like to move through disappointment when your life is objectively full and beautiful, and how gratitude and grief can sit side by side without canceling each other out. I also get into the complicated tension of ambition and motherhood. Missing a camping trip with Sonny and Timmy. Launching new projects. Turning 41. Wondering how I want to be remembered - as ambitious, present, steady, joyful? Can you be all of them at once?This episode is really about capacity and how much we can hold. Absence and abundance. Career momentum and family tenderness. Disappointment and deep gratitude. Maybe adulthood isn't about resolving the contradictions. Maybe it's about becoming spacious enough to carry them.

If decisions feel heavier than they should — not hard, just heavier — this episode is for you. You're not burned out. You're not broken. And you're not lacking skill. In this conversation, Tami names a pattern she sees in senior leaders: decision drag. The internal friction that shows up when you've outgrown the version of leadership that got you here. What You'll Hear The difference between burnout and decision drag Why high performers often mislabel friction as exhaustion How outdated leadership identity creates internal debate What shifts when decisions are allowed to fully land Leadership Pattern to Notice When decisions cost more energy than they used to, it's not always workload. Sometimes it's misalignment inside your leadership operating system. You're still capable. You're still performing. But the internal debate is louder than it should be. Leadership Noticing This week, notice: Where you revisit decisions that were already made Where you rehearse conversations after the fact Where you gather one more opinion even though you already know No fixing. Just noticing. Concepts Introduced Burnout versus decision drag, leadership identity evolution, internal misalignment, leadership operating systems, and the energetic cost of unsettled decisions are explored throughout this episode. What's Coming Next This month, we're going deeper into decision drag — what causes it, how to diagnose it, and what actually recalibrates it at the system level. Something I Don't Want You to Miss The heaviness you're feeling isn't weakness. It's evolution. The version of you that got you here may not be the version required for what's next. And that's not a crisis — it's a calling. When leadership feels lighter, it's not because the stakes are lower. It's because the internal debate is quieter. If you're ready to look at this at the system level, that's the work we do inside a Leadership Strategy Call.

January stretched me in ways I didn't expect. Sickness in our home. Hospital visits. Spiritual warfare. And a question I couldn't ignore: Why does it sometimes feel harder when you get closer to God? In this episode of Eat Don't Compete, I share how one of the greatest lessons from this season wasn't strength — it was spiritual stamina. Spiritual stamina is the endurance to stay faithful when storms don't stop. It's the sobriety, consecration, and discernment required to withstand weight you once prayed for. We talk about: The cost of anointing Accepting what the Lord allows Why spiritual preparation matters How knowing God builds discernment Why comfort can weaken spiritual endurance What it means to stand firm because you know whose you are If you've been feeling stretched, opposed, or spiritually fatigued… this conversation is for you. You're not being broken. You're being built.

A celestial grandfather strolls low across the south on winter evenings. He’s represented by two stars. In the western world, they’re part of the constellation Columba, the dove. But in ancient China they were known as the Grandfather. The stars are Alpha and Epsilon Columbae. Coincidentally, they’re about the same distance from Earth – about 280 light-years. And both are much bigger and brighter than the Sun. But there’s a big difference in their ages, so the stars aren’t related. Alpha – the First Star of Grandfather – is the brighter of the two – the brightest member of Columba. It’s less than a hundred million years old – about two percent the age of the Sun. But it won’t be around much longer. It’s about four and a half times the mass of the Sun. Heavier stars age more quickly. In the next 150 million years or so, Alpha will move out of the “prime” phase of life and into the next phase, as a giant. Epsilon has already reached that phase. It’s not as massive as Alpha, but it’s about one and a half billion years older – a third the age of the Sun. It’s puffed up to many times the size of the Sun, so it shines much brighter. Before long, though, it will cast off its outer layers, leaving only its hot, dead core – and Grandfather will be down to a single star. Columba is low in the south-southeast at nightfall. Alpha and Epsilon are close together, near the center of the constellation. Script by Damond Benningfield

On this edition of the Sams Report, Windows will make things better (in theory), Xbox has some heavy news (upcoming) and a new app that is linked below.

Alpha Lyncis is only about a third of the age of the Sun. Yet the star has already zoomed through the prime phase of life. Now, it’s nearing the end of its life. And it’s letting us know about it – it’s the brightest star of the constellation Lynx. That’s not necessarily saying much. Lynx is a large constellation, but it’s faint – only a few of its stars are bright enough to see from light-polluted cities or suburbs. In fact, the astronomer who created it, in the 1600s, called it “Lynx” because you needed the eyes of one to see it. Alpha Lyncis is classified as a red giant. It’s about half-again the mass of the Sun. Heavier stars age more quickly. Such a star “burns” through the original hydrogen in its core in a hurry. As the core adjusts to the change, the star’s outer layers puff up. Today, Alpha Lyncis is more than 50 times the diameter of the Sun. As it got bigger, the star got cooler and redder – making it a red giant. Puffing up also made the star hundreds of times brighter than the Sun. So Alpha Lyncis is visible – faintly – even though it’s a little more than 200 light-years away. That makes it one of the few stars in this faint constellation that you don’t need the eyes of a lynx to see. Lynx is well up in the east-northeast at nightfall. It’s about half way between the Big Dipper and the twins of Gemini. But you need nice, dark skies to see much. More about the constellation tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

Parenting pressure can linger even when life feels stable. This episode explores why subtle tension isn't failure, but information — and how awareness creates safety when identity-level misalignment has quietly replaced presence.Parenting pressure doesn't always arrive during crisis.Often, it shows up after things have settled — when the hard season has passed, routines are working, and life looks “fine” from the outside. And yet, something feels tighter than it needs to be.In this Monday episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly introduces the Recognition stage of identity-level recalibration through the lens of parenting — not as a strategy to improve, but as a relational environment where pressure and presence quietly shape everything.This conversation is for high-capacity humans who are still showing up, still caring deeply, and still holding responsibility — but noticing that it costs more than it used to.In this episode, you'll explore:Why parenting tension often appears after survival mode endsHow subtle tightness is a form of awareness, not failureWhat the Recognition stage actually is — and why it always comes firstHow pressure quietly replaces presence without us realizing itWhy noticing does not obligate action or decision-makingHow nervous system safety is created through permission, not urgencyThe difference between being less capable and being less overextendedDrawing from nervous system wisdom, psychology, and lived experience, Julie reframes “feeling stuck” not as a lack of insight, but as a learned reflex to act too quickly on awareness — a pattern that keeps the system braced and prevents integration.This is not mindset work.It's not productivity coaching.And it's not another parenting approach.Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) works at the root — creating the conditions where awareness is safe, pressure releases, and presence returns naturally.This episode is about orientation, not resolution.Recognition before release.Companionship instead of correction.Today's Micro Recalibration:Complete this sentence, without analysis or fixing:“One place parenting feels tighter than it needs to be is…”Awareness is enough for today.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

High performers often sense something shifting in their relationships before they have words for it. When a relationship works but feels heavier than it should, this episode explores identity shifts, role confusion, and how awareness returns without urgency.Some of the most disorienting moments in relationships don't come from conflict — they come from quiet awareness.In this episode of The Recalibration, we explore a subtle experience many high performers, leaders, and deeply responsible people recognize: a relationship that works, yet feels heavier than it should.Nothing is “wrong.”And yet, something is different.This episode focuses on the Recognition stage of the Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) pathway — the stage where awareness returns without urgency, and identity begins to shift beneath familiar roles.Often, this heaviness isn't dissatisfaction.It's vigilance.When you've lived for a long time as the stabilizer, the emotional anchor, or the one who carries the relational load, your nervous system adapts. Responsibility becomes reflexive. Presence turns into monitoring. And what once felt natural begins to feel effortful.This is not a communication problem.It's not a mindset issue.And it's not a failure of gratitude.It's a sign of identity realignment.In this episode, we explore:Why relationships can feel heavier during identity shiftsRole confusion and over-functioning in close partnershipsHow high achievers often carry emotional responsibility without noticingThe difference between functional relationships and alive onesWhy awareness itself is movement — not a demand for actionThis work is not about fixing your relationship.Identity-Level Recalibration is not another mindset tactic — it's the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective again. It begins with who you are, not what you do.Today's Micro RecalibrationYou don't need to do anything with this — just notice.Where, in your relationship, do you feel a sense of responsibility that no one has explicitly asked you to carry?Not to change it.Not to justify it.Just to notice it.Recognition always begins here.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

Feeling stuck, isolated, or overly comfortable at home? In this powerful spiritual talk, Rev. Lee Wolak explores why the longer we retreat from life, the harder it feels to re-engage and how that quiet withdrawal slowly limits our growth. This talk dives into fear, comfort zones, avoidance patterns, and the soul's natural desire for expansion, connection, and participation.

NADAR'S BALLOON AND THE BIRTH OF PHOTOGRAPHY Colleague Anika Burgess, Flashes of Brilliance. In 1863, the photographer Nadar undertook a perilous ascent in a giant balloon to fund experiments for heavier-than-air flight, illustrating the adventurous spirit required of early photographers. This era began with Daguerre's 1839 introduction of the daguerreotype, a process involving highly dangerous chemicals like mercury and iodine to create unique, mirror-like images on copper plates. Pioneers risked their lives using explosive materials to capture reality with unprecedented clarity and permanence. NUMBER 1 1870 siege of the Paris Commune.
