Welcome to "Thriving in Midlife Redefining Aging with Wellness" the podcast where we discuss how to live an extraordinary life in every aspect. I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In today's episode, I'm diving into one of the most misunderstood parts of midlife health: the obsession with quick fixes. Everywhere we look, someone is telling us to try a new peptide, a new hormone, or a new supplement. But before we reach for the “next best thing,” it's time to reconnect with the foundations our bodies have always relied on. If you're ready to feel empowered, clear, and confident in your health again, this episode is for you.Key Highlights:The real foundations of wellness: sleep, hydration, movement, and nurturing yourself.How supplement overload can actually hold you back, and how to simplify your routine.Gene activation and GLP-1 explained: how to naturally turn your body's switches back on.Why exhaustion isn't just about sleep, decision fatigue, and constant notifications are draining your brain.The difference between treating symptoms and supporting your body at its root.Practical ways to nurture yourself daily, even in small five- to ten-minute routines.Key Takeaways:“10 years from now 70% of us will be on some GLP one. It's not for weight loss. It's because the GLP one hormone that we all have inside of us... helps regulate our metabolic health.”-Kellie Lupsha“We have to get back to basics... our bodies as human beings were designed to operate beautifully if we give it the sleep and the rest for restore.” -Kellie Lupsha*TAKE THE FREE ~ DISCOVER YOUR MIDLIFE HEALTH BLUEPRINT*****>>> Click Here

In this episode, I talk honestly about the struggles we all face as child-centered play therapists — not as problems to be avoided, but as essential parts of our own therapeutic journey. After two meaningful conversations this week, and in the context of my own recent grief, I've been reflecting on how CCPT doesn't just grow our clients; it grows us. I share how every CCPT clinician eventually hits a wall of resistance, self-doubt, and frustration, and why that moment is actually the turning point toward mastery if we stay the course. I draw parallels between the phases children move through in the playroom and the phases we go through as clinicians — initiation, resistance, work, and ultimately a long, steady season of competence and grounded confidence. This episode is a reminder that resistance is not a sign you're doing something wrong. It's a sign that you're becoming who you're meant to be as a CCPT therapist. When we trust the process for ourselves the same way we trust it for our kids, we emerge stronger, clearer, and more connected to the work than ever.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the Carney government's new list of major projects and what it reveals about Ottawa's economic strategy. They argue that projects require financing rather than regulatory acceleration, suggesting the government is overriding market signals through subsidies. In the back half of the show, they discuss rising economic discontent among younger Canadians, the potential for a "bourgeoisie revolt," and what it means for Canadian politics. They also explore whether Pierre Poilievre's controversial style meets this moment of economic anxiety, and why Mark Carney's technocratic approach could be deemed as out of touch.  The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.   Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get our best content when you are on the go: https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)  https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)   Want more Hub?

Ep. 101: Bryan Caplan: Pro Market & Pro Business, the Real Ethics of EntrepreneurshipBryan Caplan is a professor of economics at George Mason University and the author of several books, including Open Borders - The Science and Ethics of Immigration, The Case Against Education and the Myth of the Rational Voter.Niklas sits down with Bryan to talk about his new books and why markets often work better than we give them credit for. They dig into how governments block progress in the name of safety, why antitrust usually backfires, and how “free” public services wipe out space for affordable alternatives. Bryan makes a compelling new case for free markets - even free market advocates have often been overly critical of business, and he comes up with a novel concept: there are things that sound good and bad, and things that are good and bad. Politics is promoting things that sound good but are bad - markets are promoting things that sound bad but are good.They also cover:* the Microsoft antitrust case and its real cost* why poor countries suffer from too little big business* entrepreneurship as real-world experimentationA conversation for anyone building around regulation or trying to understand how progress really happens.More about GUEST'S work:* Bryan's Wiki* Bryan's XExplore Infinita City:* Explore the Archive: The Infinita City Times* Visit Infinita City* Join the Builders' Hub on Telegram* Follow Infinita City on X This is a public episode.

This week on the podcast, Jackie and Peter share their insights on Canada's 2025 federal budget, released last week and expected to pass on November 17. They also briefly introduce the topic of COP30, which started the day they recorded, and Bill Gates' recent memo on climate.  They discuss several aspects of the budget, including the size of the deficit and debt, government plans to reduce day-to-day operating expenses, and several tax measures—notably, new Productivity Super Deduction and the updated accelerated capital cost depreciation rules for LNG, which are supportive, but still less generous than the Productivity Super Reduction. They also examine the introduction of new investment tax credits (ITCs) for clean energy. These incentives were largely anticipated, having been announced in the previous budget but never enacted. A major focus is the proposed Canada Climate Competitiveness Strategy, which aims to strengthen industrial carbon pricing while preventing carbon leakage. Jackie and Peter explore related policy commitments, including maintaining methane-reduction regulations and the Clean Electricity Regulation, along with signals of possible flexibility around the removal of the oil and gas emissions cap. However, they note that such flexibility may depend on the deployment at scale of carbon capture and storage, which remains uncertain.Content referenced in this podcast includes: Canada Budget 2025 Bill Gates Memo “Three tough truths about climate”  (October 2025) The Hub.ca article by Trevor Tombe “There's a big gap between rhetoric and reality” (November 2025) Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

In this episode of Hub Politics, host Sean Speer is joined by Amanda Galbraith, co-founder and president of Oyster Group, and David Coletto, founder and CEO of Abacus Data, to discuss recent Abacus Data polling on Pierre Poilievre's leadership paradox whereby he has strong support among Conservative base voters but has low popularity numbers with non-Conservative voters. They explore whether the Conservative Party has reached its electoral ceiling, the trade-offs between mobilizing the base versus appealing to swing voters, and whether any alternative leader could perform better.   The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.   Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get our best content when you are on the go: https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)  https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)   Want more Hub?

In this episode, I respond to Erin's question about working with a selectively mute child. I explain that selective mutism isn't a separate diagnosis—it's rooted in paralyzing anxiety. Once we understand that, we can approach it with CCPT through safety, trust, and pacing. I share how progress often begins with small steps like laughter, gestures, or simple sounds, and why those moments signal meaningful movement toward emotional freedom. I also discuss two common missteps: allowing parents in the playroom and directing play. Both undermine the child's autonomy and reinforce anxiety rather than helping the child overcome it. Instead, I outline how to set boundaries gently, sit in the discomfort of waiting, and use reflective language to communicate trust and acceptance. By trusting the process, we give anxious children exactly what they need—time, safety, and the opportunity to heal at their own pace.

Jack Mintz, President's Fellow of the School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary, discusses the economic impact of the tax changes last week announced in the Carney government's first budget.

What if the greatest gift we could give this holiday season isn’t wrapped in paper but offered through presence, compassion, and awareness? While the world rushes toward celebration, many quietly carry heartache, loss, or financial strain. In this episode, John invites us to slow down, open our eyes, and become the hands and feet of encouragement for those who are hurting. Together, we’ll learn how faithful awareness and small acts of kindness can bring hope, restore joy, and reflect God’s love in a season that isn’t always easy for everyone. In this episode, John discusses: Why the holidays can be a time of both celebration and hidden hurt The importance of spiritual endurance amid trials (James 1:2–4) How awareness becomes a spiritual muscle that grows through intentional action Four practical ways to bring comfort and hope to others during the holidays Key Takeaways: True joy isn’t the absence of hardship—it’s the presence of God’s peace and purpose in the middle of it. Awareness is more than observation; it’s a spiritual discipline that helps us see people the way Jesus does. Small, faithful acts—buying a meal, offering a kind word, or simply listening—can lift heavy burdens and remind others they’re not forgotten. Stewardship is not only about managing money well; it’s about using all we have—our time, influence, and attention—to reflect God’s heart. “Joy never runs out when you give it away. The more you steward it, the more it grows in you and through you into the world.” CLICK ON THE LINKS BELOW FOR MORE MONEY MADE FAITHFUL!

We often think of “doing good” as the business of nonprofits. You start a foundation, apply for grants, hold gumbo cook-offs, and hope the IRS sees things your way. But what if you didn’t need tax-exempt status to make the world better? What if turning a profit and doing good weren’t opposites — but the same business plan? Turns out, a lot of small business owners in Acadiana are already doing it. No mission statements, no donor walls — just good work disguised as work. Christiaan's guests on this edition of Out to Lunch Acadiana both run for-profit businesses that exist for something bigger than the bottom line. One makes magic — literally. The other runs a thrift store that funds community support. And both have built businesses around something very simple: joy and generosity. If you’ve been to a library show, a school assembly, a corporate retreat, a kid’s birthday, or a surprise party gone slightly off the rails — there’s a decent chance you’ve seen this man making balloon animals. Mitch Richard is the owner of MLR Magic. He grew up in Kaplan, where he was a consummate class clown. Mitch's real stage debut came in 7th grade, when a teacher gave him the first five minutes of every class to “energize” the students — on one condition: Mitch had to keep a B average. By 16, he learned balloon art from Darcy Guidry — the legendary balloon guy at Hub City Diner — and started performing professionally a few years later. He’s now been “Mitch the Magician” for 25 years, doing more than 150 shows a year across Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, and Florida. Mitch's company company books not just himself, but other performers, too. And while he performs everywhere from corporate parties to kids’ camps, his favorite shows are at assisted living facilities, where he says “people need to laugh the most.” If Mitch works his magic through wonder, Lori Guillory works hers through generosity. Lori is the owner of Calvary Thrift, a faith-based thrift shop in Lafayette. Lori also runs Camp Calvary, a Christian summer camp, and Calvary Creek, an 8-acre event venue. Lori is a UL Lafayette grad, a lifelong thrifter, and — by her own admission — someone who didn’t set out to run more than one business, but kept doing it because she saw needs that weren’t being met. Calvary Thrift employs eight people, sources locally donated goods, and donates profits into groups like The Hub, The Outreach Center, church ministries, and rent-assistance programs. Out to Lunch Acadiana was recorded live over lunch at Tsunami Sushi in downtown Lafayette.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss a tumultuous week in Canadian politics with the Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre facing scrutiny after a Conservative MP crossed the floor to the Liberals and another one abruptly resigned. They also cover what it could mean for Prime Minister Mark Carney's government as well as the potential risks to national unity. In the second half, they shift the discussion to Zohran Mamdani's landslide victory in New York City's mayoral race, and how his radical progressive platform represents a potent new political force that conservatives must reckon with. They also examine what lessons Canadian politicians should draw from his success in appealing to educated professionals struggling with cost-of-living pressures.

In this episode, I respond to Heather's question about a client who returned to therapy after a higher level of care. This child's play is dominated by themes of money, power, and control — and I explain how these themes often reflect underlying anxiety and a need to avoid vulnerability. I discuss how aggression frequently serves as a mask for powerlessness and how self-aggrandizing behaviors, like declaring oneself the "favorite," reveal deeper struggles with insecurity. I also share guidance on handling personal items children bring into the playroom and why these items often carry emotional or thematic significance. Rather than setting limits, I explain how to view these objects as meaningful tools for expression and connection. Finally, I emphasize the importance of helping parents establish clear, consistent limits at home through CPRT principles, since true safety, security, and regulation for children can only develop within the structure of boundaries.

In this episode, I walk through the final phase of Child-Centered Play Therapy—the countdown and last session. Once a child is ready to terminate, our focus shifts to helping them process and celebrate the end of therapy in a healthy, meaningful way. I explain how to introduce the countdown, invite reflection, and give the child space to share memories of your time together without any pressure or expectation. This process allows the child to internalize their growth while preserving the connection and relationship that CCPT values. I also describe how to structure the final session, including practical ways to celebrate the child's work through small mementos and choices that reinforce empowerment and lasting connection. From personalized certificates to thoughtful take-home items, every element is designed to honor the child's progress while communicating that your relationship remains intact. Ending well is not just about closure; it's about celebrating the journey and ensuring the child leaves feeling capable and confident.

Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.   In this episode, Justin interviews Kellee Ann Richards-St. Clair, the Vice President, Commercial, Phoenix Park Energy Marketing Limited. Justin and Kellee Ann discuss her target risk career starting in her undergraduate days studying chemistry, to her role as VP of Commercial for a gas supply organization. She describes the range of responsibilities she carries. Kellee Ann also speaks of her presence at the upcoming RIMS ERM Conference 2025 on November 17th and 18th in Seattle, Washington.   Listen for understanding about the complexity and interconnectivity of risks in ERM.   Key Takeaways: [:01] About RIMS and RIMScast. [:17] About this episode of RIMScast. Our guest is Kellee Ann Richards-St. Clair. She is the Vice President of Commercial at Phoenix Park Energy Marketing Limited, and a member of the RIMS Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council. There is much to discuss with her! But first… [:47] The next RIMS-CRMP-FED Virtual Workshop will be held on November 11th and 12th and led by Joseph Mayo. Links to these courses can be found through the Certifications page of RIMS.org and through this episode's show notes. [1:07] RIMS Virtual Workshops!

Fear not; ask Chris Hansen! RIMS members always enjoy deep discounts on the virtual workshops! [1:40] The full schedule of virtual workshops can be found on the RIMS.org/education and RIMS.org/education/online-learning pages. A link is also in this episode's notes. [1:51] RIMS Webinars! On November 6th, HUB will present "Geopolitical Whiplash — Building Resilient Global Risk Programs in an Unstable World". That session will be moderated by Christina Howard, our guest from last week. Register at RIMS.org/Webinars. [2:08] The RIMS ERM Conference 2025 will be on November 17th and 18th in Seattle, Washington. The agenda is live, and the link is available in this episode's show notes. [2:20] That brings us to today's guest, Kellee Ann Richards-St. Clair. She is the Vice President of Commercial at Phoenix Park Energy Marketing Limited, a U.S. subsidiary of Phoenix Park Gas Processors, LLC. [2:35] We're going to learn all about oil, gas, and the energy sector and how it intertwines with ERM. In addition, Kellee Ann will be making her RIMS ERM Conference debut! [2:48] Kellee Ann will be highly visible, especially on November 18th, when she leads the ERM Networking Breakfast, the Conference Finale Panel, and the recently added session at 1:30 p.m. on the 18th, "Exploiting Uncertainty: Making the Business Case for Strategic Risk Treatments." [3:09] That session was added after we recorded this interview, which is why we do not discuss it. Kellee Ann has a fascinating career and background. Between that and her presence at the ERM Conference, she's a wonderful guest, and I'm so glad we had this interview! [3:23] On with the show! Let's get to it! [3:25] Interview! Kellee Ann Richards-St. Clair, welcome to RIMScast! [3:34] Kellee Ann Richards-St. Clair, it's a pleasure to finally have you on our show!  [3:43] Kellee Ann is a relatively new member of the RIMS Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council. She will be at the RIMS ERM Conference on November 17th and 18th. She will lead the ERM Networking Breakfast Tabletop Discussions. [4:12] Kellee Ann has a fascinating career, and she works in a unique sector. She's an energy sector professional and works in the oil and gas industry. The key to her embarking on the risk journey was when she did her Master's in Project Management. [4:36] One of the areas was Project Risk Management, to which Kellee Ann had a great affinity. She liked the analytical thinking that goes behind assessing what could likely impact your project. [4:53] Also, the accountability and ownership that goes into the planning phase, making sure that you're thinking of everything that could go wrong, as a means of making sure that you're achieving your objectives. [5:05]  In 2004, Kellee Ann wrote her thesis on implementing enterprise risk management practices into private sector organizations. [5:15] It honed the tools she would use in project risk management with the greater goal of having a large impact on the organization, by impacting strategy and strategy delivery. [5:33] From there, Kellee Ann participated in risk committees in her organization and other organizations, helping them push the risk agenda and making sure they have the right mindset that allows them to make sure that they are achieving their business mandates. [5:59] Kellee Ann always intended to work in the energy sector in oil and gas. Her undergraduate degree is in chemistry. She always liked understanding how things are made and how they function. In the energy space, many of the operations are rooted in chemistry. [6:22] Kellee Ann speaks of the business component of getting the molecules out to market. ERM meshes with her affinity for chemistry, risk management, business, analytical thinking, and understanding how your business model functions and what could likely impact it.  [7:13] Kellee Ann has managed project risk registers for her department, on the commercial side. She is always risk-focused, identifying any threats to the business and incorporating that into contract negotiations, and how she liaises with her stakeholders and customers. [7:41] For Kellee Ann, it was a perfect match, meshing her passion and her job responsibility. In the risk management profession, you get to have a direct impact on the success or failure of your business. [8:03] Kellee Ann is based in Houston with Phoenix Park Energy Marketing Limited, the U.S. subsidiary of Phoenix Park Gas Processors LLC, which is located in Trinidad and Tobago. It's a natural gas processing facility. [8:23] Kellee Ann leads the commercial function of Phoenix Park Energy Marketing Limited. The energy sector is dynamic, impacted by geopolitics, the volatility of market prices, and even other industries, and the investments they make. [8:37] For example, AI requires lots of power to run. For AI development to be successful means heavily investing in power. That's likely to have an impact on commodity prices. Everything is interconnected. [8:52] Interconnected risk is a current process in terms of managing the complexity of the current business environment. The energy sector becomes a good proxy for how you manage complex operations and still run a profitable business, fulfilling its purpose and mission. [9:16] Kellee Ann's mental model of risk management is prudent decision-making. You have to be able to justify to the shareholders that you are leading the organization in the right direction and prove the thinking behind what you are recommending. [9:42] You have to demonstrate the value proposition: This is what will prevent me from implementing my mission, and this is what I'm going to put in place. [9:51] Even though this is preventing a threat, these are the opportunities I'm seeing out of it. This is how I can move the needle a little further, because I'm looking at it from a holistic perspective. I'm no longer looking at it as a separate function. It becomes good business. [10:16] Kellee Ann is not functionally in charge of commercial. She is in charge of the strategic aspects of it. The Risk Management Department focuses on the operational aspects of the business and also feeds in strategic elements. [10:29] Kellee Ann has incorporated ERM into her lifestyle because of her subject matter expertise. She has gotten the opportunity to lecture on enterprise risk management and offer consultancy for private sector organizations that are early adopters in terms of risk maturity. [10:49] Kellee Ann considers that she has a broad experience in risk management, leveraging the tools in each of her job responsibilities. [11:05] Kellee Ann is over enterprise risk management from a strategic perspective. She has a high-level view of all risks likely to impact operations. She ensures that all risk mitigations are in place and makes sure she is exploiting all opportunities the organization would like to embrace. [11:31] There is enterprise risk management expertise within the organization, focused on the functional perspective, while Kellee Ann focuses on the strategic perspective, looking at emerging risks and how they impact the business and the marketability of the product. [11:49] Kellee Ann also looks at what areas of opportunity it opens up for her in terms of making an impact on the customers. [11:58] Kellee Ann is Vice President of Commercial. There is a separate Risk Management Department. They work together regularly. Kellee Ann tells how risks are managed functionally and strategically, and that employees have toolkits to distill information for prudent decisions. [12:36] Quick Break!

[13:48] When communicating risks and opportunities to executive leadership, instead of charts, Kellee Ann utilizes storytelling to create a more compelling description of what is happening in the market or external environment and how it's going to impact the organization. [14:08] Kellee Ann says there has to be a balance between the quantitative and the qualitative. [14:12] You have to communicate in a way that demonstrates the business case for taking a particular action, whether or not you want to enter a new market, market new commodities, or introduce new technology. [14:24] All of that is likely to introduce risks, either from a threat perspective or an opportunity perspective. You want to be able to have the conversation in a way that everybody understands, everyone is on the same wavelength, and understands why this direction has to be taken. [14:40] This is important in terms of culture building. You want to have a culture of risk management. You want to have a culture where everyone is aware that you're not making decisions by intuition, feeling, or personal bias, but that decisions are driven by data. [15:00] Context matters. Storytelling is what is going to make that context clearer. [15:05] Kellee Ann asks, if you decide by going with your gut, you might be lucky, but how do you defend it if your luck runs out? It's very important to be emotionless in decisions. The data has to tell the story. You want to marry the data with the context. [15:51] Global current events can be brought into the discussion if they are materially in context. In risk management, it's very important to determine the impact they are likely to have on the organization. It brings to the forefront the question of relevance. [16:09] News is important for information, from the point of view of awareness. You want to distill the news in the context of relevance to your organization. There will be some events where your competitors are taking a particular action successfully. [16:26] They may be successful because their business model is designed in a way that allows them to capture that opportunity faster. If you take a copy-and-paste approach, you may find that you're not going to be successful because your supply chain or context is different. [16:43] A snippet of it may be relevant, but you have to redesign it, looking at your internal resources or the eternal context. [16:53] You have to map it to internal resources to determine whether or not this is going to have a high impact on your organization, whether or not it's good to know, or whether or not it's to be monitored to determine when is the right time for you to implement it. [17:07] Kellee Ann says the complexity comes in distilling what it is, if it is relevant, and the timing of that relevance. [17:18] Kellee Ann is more inclined to work just in time rather than be tied to arbitrary deadlines that do not add value. This comes from her project management background. What are your business drivers? What are the regulatory deadlines? What is the customer expecting? [18:50] The art and science of risk management. [21:26] One Final Break! Some of you may have heard he recent RIMScast episode sponsored by Diligent, "Mastering ERM: Leveraging Internal and External Risk Factors," with Jason Venner, who's also a RIMS-CRMP-FED holder. [21:41] Jason is joining us here on RIMScast to discuss his upcoming appearance at the RIMS ERM Conference 2025, which will be held on November 17th and 18th. We will be seeing him present on Tuesday, November 18th. [21:58] His session is titled, "Benchmarking Beyond Boundaries: Elevating ERM Programs with External Risk Insights." Jason, welcome back to RIMScast! Tell us all about it! [22:08] Jason says, We're going to be joined by one of our partners, my colleague and friend, Maurice Crescenzi, an industry practice leader at Moody's, in Risk Analytics. [22:22] The audience is going to learn about the value of being able to benchmark your risk information and data against your peers, competitors, and suppliers to be able to provide your leadership and board with a single, clear view of holistic risk, internally and externally. [22:40] This session provides the external viewpoint. [22:51] Jason encourages audience participation and will be available for questions afterward, for as long as anyone needs. He is super excited to get to this conference! Several of his colleagues from Diligent are going to be there, along with Maurice and some of his colleagues. [23:05] If you don't catch Jason after the session, please stop by the Diligent booth. He'll talk for as long as you want. We'll see you there! [23:15] Thank you, Jason. I look forward to seeing you there. As we said, remember to look for the link in this episode's show notes to Jason's recent RIMScast appearance on mastering ERM. [23:28] Let's Conclude Our Interview with Kellee Ann Richards-St. Clair! [23:51] Kellee Ann describes business risks. You want to get away from siloed thinking. Risk management tends to create siloes of functional, financial, and operational risks. You have to look at it all as business risks.  [24:38] There's liability. You have to pay out claims, or there's an impairment to your reputation, either losing the customer trust to operate, or shareholders withdrawing their cash. It starts with reframing. Kellee Ann speaks of environmental risk and supply chain resilience. [25:39] If you are a coffee supplier, what is the risk if you lose access to coffee plantations? The cost of supply increases. The quantity of produce is no longer there due to climate change. [26:09] There are aspects of human rights. Are you procuring employees in a fair and just manner? Are the work conditions safe? It's a business risk if people leave because they are not safe. The conversation has to be reframed in terms of how you are identifying risk. [27:06] Environmental risks can be greater and more material than operational risks. [27:42] About ESG Governance. Planetary boundaries are not anecdotal or a special-interest topic. They have to be part of the risk conversation about your risk capacity. Kellee shares an example about shipping through port facilities. Map your risks, global to internal. [30:13] Kellee Ann explains further about climate risks, resources, and geopolitical sensitivities. [31:59] Looking at the agenda of the ERM Conference 2025, Kellee Ann is starting and closing our day on Tuesday, November 18th. She'll be supervising the ERM Networking Breakfast Tabletop Discussion. There will be discussions at each table, and you are encouraged to join in. [32:32] Kellee Ann will be leading off the topic on Emerging Risks. She'll be interested to find out from her peers who will be on the table for their views on Emerging Risks and the tools they use to identify and manage emerging risks in their organizations. [33:02] At the end of the day, at 3:30 p.m., Kellee Ann will be part of the ERM Conference Finale, SERMC Panel Discussion, along with other members of the RIMS SERMC Council, to recap some of the Conference highlights, observations, and new information. [33:24] Kellee Ann is excited to be onstage with the others, gain new insights, and share her perspective on what she learned at the Conference. Kellee is comfortable onstage. [33:44] Justin says it will be a new way for us to close out the Conference. I'm very much looking forward to it and to meeting you in person, as well. [34:05] The RIMS ERM Conference has been on Kellee Ann's wish list for a while, and she's made it happen this year. [34:22] I look forward to seeing you on November 17th and 18th at the RIMS ERM Conference 2025, in Seattle, Washington. [34:37] Special thanks again to Kellee Ann Richards-St. Clare for joining us here on RIMScast. She will be omnipresent at the RIMS ERM Conference 2025, November 17th and 18th, and especially on the 18th. She'll be helping to kick off that Breakfast Networking Session. [34:54] And then at 1:30, she was recently added to the new session, "Exploiting Uncertainty: Making the Business Case for Strategic Risk Treatments." That was added after this interview was recorded. [35:05] Of course, Kellee Ann will be on the panel closing out the Conference, during the Finale, so be sure to stop by, say hello, and tell her that you heard her fabulous interview on RIMScast!

Got a question? Let us know!This week on Made For Mondays, we continue our Get Ready series with a powerful message from 1 Thessalonians 4 called Hope in the Resurrection.Heather, Jamey, Joe, and Tyler unpack Paul's encouragement to believers who were grieving loved ones that had died before Jesus' return. The conversation dives deep into why our hope in Christ changes how we face death and loss—and how knowing how it ends changes how we live.From what happens when we die, to what it means that “the dead in Christ will rise first,” to why the resurrection matters for our future and our faith today—this episode helps bring clarity and comfort to some of life's biggest questions. You'll also hear honest reflections on grief, hope, and how we can walk with others through loss.

Over the years I have had questions about my practice: how much practice I do, what I do in my practice, and so on. There has also been the occasional request to sit in and listen to my practice. I have always thought that my own practice routines and what I do on any given day in my practice wouldn't be useful to share with most harpists, the reason being that the demands on my time and on my playing are vastly different from what the majority of harpists experience. And I have never believed that anyone could benefit from watching me practice or listening to my practice. But gradually I have been led to rethink that opinion. My thinking started to change with the introduction of Practice Labs in our Harp Mastery® Hub.   In case you don't know what our Practice Labs are, I will fill you in. They are online meetups that any of our Hub members can join, and all that happens is we practice in the same virtual space for an hour and a half. Our cameras are either on or off, and our microphones are off, so that although we can see everyone else on the call, we can't hear them. We are all just practicing together. It's a little like a practice study hall, where we are all doing our own work together. We hold them twice a week, on Tuesday mornings and Thursday afternoons. The point of the Practice Lab is that it creates a scheduled practice time with a little nudge of accountability. No one takes attendance; you show up when you want to, if you want to and stay for as much of the time as you like. Sometimes we have a good number of people; other days just a few. I don't make all of the Practice Labs myself, although I show up most days.  And it was on the Practice Labs when I began to notice that some people wanted to show up just to watch me practice. It didn't make sense to me at first. But now I have a different perspective, and that's why today I want to share this behind-the-scenes look at my practice. If this sounds like a "why would I care about this" topic, I get it. But if you have any curiosity about what I practice, when I practice, how I practice and most importantly why I practice, then you will want to keep listening.

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Derek DeVos, Technical Sergeant (Retired), USAF as guest to the show. About Derek DeVos, Technical Sergeant (Retired), USAF: Derek raised his right hand in January 2009 and served over 15 years in the United States Air Force. From Utah to Alaska, the Republic of Korea to North Carolina and New Mexico, and through two deployments that tested every part of him, he carried both the pride and the weight of being an Airman. Derek's career ended early when PTSD and physical conditions caught up with him, and he was medically retired on September 15, 2024. Derek is now a 100% disabled veteran, continuing the mission through The PTSD, Inc., a nonprofit he founded in Statesville, NC to ensure veterans and families don't have to fight alone. About The PTSD: The PTSD, Inc. is a disabled veteran-founded nonprofit based in Statesville, NC, built from lived experience. Our mission is to reduce barriers for veterans and their families by providing peer-led support, community-driven resources, and practical tools that restore stability and hope. We believe every veteran deserves a clear path forward, and no family should have to fight PTSD alone. We keep it simple: • The PATH – veterans walking together through peer-led support groups. • The HUB – a one-stop resource navigation center, that ends dead ends and red tape in the system. • BRAVE TAILS – veterans and shelter dogs healing side by side . • The AIMS – adaptive memory and accountability support, helping track spirals and wins. • The 2nd Front – our fastest-growing lane, designed for caregivers, spouses, and families. Behind every veteran is a second front line: caregivers carrying the invisible weight. This program gives them a peer-led community of their own, with respite, tools, and recognition. All Home Care Matters was one of the first to recognize and amplify this vision , proving the urgency and resonance of supporting caregivers. It's not theory. It's lived experience turned into action, a closed-loop ecosystem designed to scale across communities, reduce crisis events, and strengthen families.
