“I still care about my partner… but I don't know if I'm in love anymore.” It's a question many couples quietly carry. Not because the relationship is over… but because something feels different. Heavier. More distant. Less connected. So the question becomes: Can we actually get back to where we were?

Where to Start have an honest conversation about where you both stand take responsibility for your part in the dynamic learn how to repair instead of avoid create space for connection without pressure stay open, curious, and willing to grow Small shifts… done consistently… change everything. ✨ Save your spot for our September Group Couples Retreat: A sacred, guided experience for five couples ready to reconnect, heal, and reignite.

Five years ago I ruptured my Achilles. When I finally started walking again, the muscle was just gone. That's atrophy — weakening from lack of use. I think our brains are going through the same thing because of screen time. I call it digital atrophy.If you're 16 and live to 80, that's 64 years. An hour a day of scrolling costs you 2.6 years of your life. Four hours a day — which is closer to reality for most of us — costs you 10.6 years.And it's not just the time. Three things are quietly atrophying:Focus. It takes 23 minutes to get into real deep work, but most of us check our phones every five.Creativity. Heavier phone use is linked to weaker performance on creative tasks — and AI is only accelerating that outsourcing of our thinking.Social skills. Eye contact, real conversation, asking for something in person — all harder when a screen does the talking for us.None of this is an accident. The addictive design isn't a bug, it's the feature.The fix is reps: real conversations, screen-free creative time, sitting with hard problems a little longer. Rebuild the muscle the same way you'd rebuild any other one.Go find your One Second of Strength — and be happy.3 S's!Subscribe, Share, 5 Stars!
Continuing our I Love the 90s series, we move on to 1991, when kids lined up for Sonic the Hedgehog on Sega Genesis while nightly newscasts tracked the crumbling Soviet Union. Don and Dude drop the needle on one polished R&B and soul album and one heavy, alternative release that helped define the decade's sound, connecting both records to a world of Terminator 2 topping the box office, dial up bulletin boards and flannel becoming a fashion statement.The AlbumsMichael Jackson – Dangerous (1991)Michael Jackson's eighth studio album marked his first major release not built around the Quincy Jones partnership, moving deeper into Teddy Riley's New Jack Swing while still keeping rock, gospel and widescreen pop in the mix. Opening with the hard, compressed groove of "Jam" featuring Heavy D, the record moves through the confessional soul of "Remember the Time," the Slash powered rock detour "Give Into Me," and message songs like "Black or White" and "Heal the World" before closing on the theatrical title track. At nearly 80 minutes across fourteen songs, Dangerous plays as a restless, ambitious time capsule of early 1990s R&B, pop and social commentary.Soundgarden – Badmotorfinger (1991)Seattle sound architects Soundgarden built their third album around unusual time signatures, drop tunings and Chris Cornell's four octave vocal range, with new bassist Ben Shepherd pushing the classic lineup into more collaborative songwriting. Produced by Terry Date and released in October 1991 alongside Nevermind, Ten and Blood Sugar Sex Magik, the record opens with the shape shifting "Rusty Cage" and moves through the radio breakthrough "Outshined," the controversial "Jesus Christ Pose" and the horn laced "Room a Thousand Years Wide" before ending on the slow, unsettling "New Damage." Heavier and stranger than its Seattle peers, Badmotorfinger became the blueprint for everything Soundgarden built afterward.Diggin AlbumsDead Pioneers – Wagon Burner (2026):The Denver punk band fronted by Gregg Deal pushes past its hardcore roots into heavier riffs and wider atmosphere while keeping its Indigenous rooted, confrontational social commentary intact.Andy Shauf – The Neon Skyline (2020):The Canadian singer songwriter's largely self performed concept album follows a single bar room night confronting an old flame through warm chamber pop arrangements built on memory, regret and missed opportunities.Charli xcx – Music, Fashion, Film (2026):Coming off brat and her Wuthering Heights scoring work, the British pop artist reteams with A. G. Cook and composer Finn Keane on a seventh album that crosses her music, style and cinema worlds behind cover art pairing John Cale, Marc Jacobs and Martin Scorsese.Robyn Hitchcock – Stranded in the Future (2026):The British singer songwriter's second memoir, written and illustrated by Hitchcock himself, traces his teenage and early adult years from 1968 to 1978 as he discovers music and forms the Soft Boys.Follow & Support Follow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads and Bluesky @albumnerds, and support the podcast by subscribing, rating, reviewing and sharing it with another music obsessive who still loves hearing whole albums front to back."Hasta la vista, baby." - The Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger), Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991).
In this School of Doza episode, we break down the loop between stubborn belly fat and low testosterone: fat tissue raises aromatase activity, converts testosterone into estradiol, and releases inflammatory signals that can suppress the brain-to-testes axis. He then walks through five everyday factors pushing testosterone the wrong direction—alcohol, fast food, sugar, sitting, and poor sleep—and what to change first when energy, motivation, and workouts have all quietly flattened out. FEATURED PARTNER Zen by MSW Nutrition is the adrenal and adaptogen formula Nurse Doza reaches for when stress is the thing driving the loop. Every one of the five factors in this episode—alcohol, processed food, blood sugar swings, sedentary days, broken sleep—lands on the same stress-response system that sits upstream of hormone signaling. Zen pairs bovine adrenal concentrate with Asian ginseng, eleuthero, schisandra, and rhodiola, plus 150 mg of pantothenic acid, P-5-P (activated B6), and vitamin C, to support the body's adaptogenic response and normal adrenal function—without caffeine.
Some things land on your plate because life asks them of you.Others show up so quietly that you don't even notice you've picked them up.A workout because everyone else is doing it. Saying yes because it feels like the right thing to do. Trying harder to be a better parent, a better boss, a better version of yourself. Before long, your plate feels heavier, but not because life changed. Because somewhere along the way, someone else's expectations became your responsibility.This week we're looking at two patterns that quietly add weight to your mental load. Comparison and "shoulds." Not to get rid of them overnight, but to notice them for what they are.Sometimes the biggest shift isn't taking something off your plate. It's realizing it never belonged there in the first place.Work with me: Lighter: Your life doesn't need to be lighter...your brain does.

This episode explains how recent legislative changes have brought pensions into the inheritance tax (IHT) spotlight and why estate planning must be treated as active financial decisions made during life rather than a morbid conversation about death. Les Cameron and Kimberley Dondo cover immediate red flags for advisers, core IHT planning options (spend, insure, reliefs, gifting and trusts), practical steps for pension-driven liabilities, and the risks of delaying planning—emphasising early action, control, and tailored solutions.
Feeling like you're working harder than ever… and getting less and less back? You're experienced. You're talented. You've invested in yourself. You've built something real. So why does your business suddenly feel heavier than it used to? In this episode, I name something I've been living for years without the language for it — a hidden pattern I call the Quiet Drain Of Compromise. It's the reason success can slowly turn exhausting when your business stops reflecting who you actually are, and how years of small, quiet compromises leak away your confidence, your creativity, your cashflow and your sense of purpose. Inside this episode: ✨ The four hidden leaks draining the bounty you were born to carry — starting with the Edited Voice, where you've absorbed your favourite mentors' language, and it's blocking your people from hearing you. ✨ The Niched-Down Self — how you ended up running your business on 5% of who you are, while the other 95% stays unshared. ✨ The Borrowed Playbook — why the popular platforms, post formats and content cadence may not be yours to run. ✨ The Peacekeeper's Compromise — every yes to a client you should have said no to, and what it's quietly cost you. If you've been questioning yourself, wondering why business feels harder than it should, or sensing you've outgrown the version of the business you built… this episode will show you why and how Human Design is the answer to finding what needs to come towards the light, for you to start transmitting your TRUTH. Because you don't need to compromise your true nature to succeed, you need to return to yourself.
Stars follow a life-long weight-loss program. They blow hot gas off their surfaces. Over time, the amount of material in these “winds” can add up. Heavier stars, in fact, can expel enough gas to make several stars as massive as the Sun. An example is Antares, the leading light of Scorpius. It’s in good view tonight, to the left of the Moon as night falls. Antares is a supergiant – one of the biggest and brightest stars in the galaxy. It’s more than a dozen times the Sun’s mass. And it’s so big that if you placed it at the center of the solar system, it would extend past the orbit of Mars. But when Antares was born, about 11 million years ago, it was even heavier. Studies in recent years have placed its initial mass at about 15 to 17 times the Sun’s mass. Most of the difference has been blown into space on the star’s winds. Antares has lost so much of its original weight because it was heavy to begin with. A massive star “burns” through its nuclear fuel quickly, making its core extremely hot. Radiation from the core causes the star’s outer layers to puff outward. That far from the core, the surface gravity is fairly low, so it’s easy for radiation to push gas out into space. Antares is fated to expel even more of its mass. At the end of its life, its core will collapse, causing its outer layers to explode as a supernova – blasting most of its remaining gas out into the galaxy. Script by Damond Benningfield

Interview by Kris PetersWhen American metal titans Motionless In White announce a new record, the heavy music community stands up and takes notice. Celebrating two decades of sonic devastation, Chris Motionless and his gothic-metalcore troupe are poised to unleash their highly anticipated seventh studio album, Decades, on July 17. It is a monstrous, career-defining release that effortlessly honours their dark history while forcefully kicking down the doors to the future. From the industrial venom of the lead singles to the monumental collaborations featuring massive names like Slipknot's Corey Taylor plus Skylar Grey, Decades is a masterclass in survival, raw passion, and artistic evolution.HEAVY sat down with frontman Chris Motionless to find out more."It's an exciting time," he enthused when asked how he is feeling about the new album. "We have been working for what feels like literally forever on the record, (laughs) so it's still very weird for me to think that we even have singles out… It's just a very different shift in life, but it's really cool because finally the music gets to see the light of day."We ask Chris to tell us more about Decades musically."This one was definitely - as every band's gonna tell you (smiles) - trying to go above everything we've ever done," he replied. "Catchier. Heavier, blah blah blah, but it's true. We definitely wanted to make sure that everything that we do, that I think the fans love the most, was considered heavily on this one. We really wanted to try and make sure that their feedback was listened to and that we were integrating what fans love the most and then what we love most about the band, and I think that's maybe the reason why things feel pretty positive so far."We bring up the heavier aspect alluded to on Decades, asking what he means specifically by heavier."I would say it's a mixture of everything," he measured. "I think the music may not be so much heavier all around, but there's definitely much more energy. There's so much more fast-paced, or more… just much more energy in every way. There's only one sad, emotional song, per se. Usually, we have three or four, but this one's only got the main one, and the rest is constant rolling energy that I think really helps the album feel different from any other Motionless record. The lyrical content, yeah. Some of it's heavy, some of it's fun. It's a good mixture of everything. I wouldn't say that there's too much, like, you're gonna hear and go (exhales deeply) I need a break from that. It's more meant to be an exciting and uplifting experience."In the full interview, Chris dives deeper into the musicality of Decades, including the well-documented writer's block he had early in the process, what snapped that and how it impacted the rest of the album. He talked us through the opening track, Decades, and why it was chosen to introduce the album, as well as the momentum shift between songs on the album and how Motionless In White allow for a smooth transition.We talked about the different genres expressed in Motionless In White's music, and how they find the balance in the creative process, the first time he heard one of their songs on the radio and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

An NFL quarterback's coach gives him one rule on game day. No phone. Not less phone. None. Because of what it does to him before he's even taken a snap: how he sees, how fast he sorts what matters from what doesn't, how much noise he carries onto the field. Most of us start every day the exact way that quarterback is told not to. Already loud. Already full. Already carrying. This one is about the cost you're paying and never counted. The pile you've stopped seeing. The project you left half-open eight months ago. The storage unit you pay for and step around. A Yale study found your brain is working on all of it, everything in your field of vision, whether you choose to look at it or not. And here's the part that changes things: the weight of carrying those open loops is heavier than the work of closing them. So we're closing tabs. Not organizing them. Closing them. Inside, I get into the two ways to close any open loop (only one of them is finishing it), why pouring in more energy never fixes a leak, and the two tabs I handed my husband this month. Find one open thing this week. Close it. Notice what comes back. In this episode: Why clutter you're not even looking at still taxes your brain, and what the Yale research actually says The difference between carrying the work and carrying the open Offense versus defense: protecting your energy before the day spends it for you The Close the Tabs challenge, and how to pick a cadence you'll actually keep If you're ready to stop carrying it, this is the work we do inside DEFENSE.

International visitors are flocking to the U.S. for one of the biggest sporting events in the world—but many are heading home with a lot more than souvenirs. From iconic fast-food chains to giant warehouse stores and uniquely American food obsessions, travelers are discovering parts of U.S. culture they never expected. But that's not the only surprise catching visitors off guard. One state's health officials were forced to issue an unusual warning after reports of tourists having experiences they definitely weren't prepared for.

It's National Lightning Awareness Week and Wisconsin farmers, golfers, gardeners, joggers should all heed the warnings. In Wisconsin, more people have died by lightning strikes since 2006, than by tornadoes since 1986. Chris Vagasky, Research Program Manager, Wisconet and Lightning Data Specialist, National Lightning Safety Counci, explains how people can protect themselves, and farmers can protect their livestock and assets. Rain starts moving back in by late Tuesday night. Stu Muck says it won't really amount to much but sets up a change in pattern that will bring very hot weather to the state by the weekend. A record breaking price on a tractor has gotten a lot of attention for the Steffes Auction Group. Ashley Huhn tells Pam Jahnke that live auctions are still drawing a crowd with money to spend. He explains the record sale. Paid for by Steffes Group. While Wisconsin communities continue to struggle with the data center question, Texas is now regretting some of their decisions. Sid Miller, Texas Ag Commissioner, says he hears about it every day. To date, Texas is home to about 575 data centers that consume about 430 million gallons of water daily. Miller contends they're overbuilt and using water resources most of Texas just doesn't have. Wisconsin crops are matching up about equal with other Midwest states as far as development. John Heinberg joins Pam Jahnke to discuss. Heinberg, with Total Farm Marketing in West Bend, says that there's really no weather threat to get the market to move. At the same time, South America's harvest is moving along smoothly bringing more product to the marketplace. While the crop may be moving, Heinberg also explains the financial strain that South American farmers are facing as bankruptcies there increase.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
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?

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!

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 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

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!!

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!

It features multiple adapters for precise bore alignment and a red or green laser for quick sighting. The kit includes batteries, a storage case, and an arbor for enhanced stability in larger calibers. Note Laser boresight – responses and did both. [FarrowTech] 22R Stock/Brace PDW Kit for Ruger MK3 and MK4 (Nick) This is a PDW style conversion kit for the Ruger MK3/4, available as a Stock or Brace configuration. All setups include 2 optional side Picatinny rails and a charging handle. Installation requires no permanent modifications to the host firearm. [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.

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.

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.

The Barbell Mamas Podcast | Pregnancy, Postpartum, Pelvic Health
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.

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.
