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.

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.

Leading author, journalist, and thinker David Frum and The Hub's editor-at-large Sean Speer discuss the U.S. Supreme Court's review of Trump's use of emergency powers to impose tariffs and its implications for the president's policy agenda, the executive branch's relationship to congress, and the U.S. Constitution itself. In the second half, they cover Canadian property rights in light of the Cowichan Tribes decision in British Columbia and the bigger questions that it raises about the relationship between Indigenous rights and Canada's broader system of laws and governance.

Prime Minister Mark Carney says his first budget will unlock "one trillion dollars in total investments" and kick-start a new era of growth. But does the math add up? Alberta Edge host Ryan Hastman sits down with economists Trevor Tombe from the University of Calgary and Mark Parsons from ATB Financial to break down Budget 2025. They talk about the productivity diagnosis, the limits of the proposed solutions, and why Alberta will be central to whatever happens next. This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald.

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 the Carney government's first budget and the dramatic floor-crossing that overshadowed its release. They debate whether the budget's focus on macroeconomic growth and productivity over immediate household relief was the right approach. They then examined the political bombshell of former Conservative MP Chris d'Entremont's crossing the floor to the Liberals, potentially putting them within reach of a majority government. They explore what this new development means for both Carney's governing prospects and Pierre Poilievre's leadership of the Conservative Party.

Welcome to an improvised episode of the Safe Bet Show, where host Martin Lycka welcomes SBC Leaders Magazine Editor, Steve Hoare.The discussion centres on the SBC Player Protection Hub, which Steve is also Editor of. The Hub is positioned as a, "one-stop shop" for responsible gaming resources, offering news feeds from across the SBC universe and a research hub dedicated to collecting RG studies. Crucially, the site is members-only, aiming to be a necessary "safe space" where people can talk about player protection issues and share personal stories without fear of exposure.Martin and Steve discuss the immense power of "lived experience" stories. They highlight how these human and humane narratives, such as a story about a girl who used gambling to "turn off the noise", or the painful recollection of a Seahawks fan who lost his family's money betting on the Super Bowl, provide critical perspective for the industry.The conversation then shifts to Martin's career, tracing his time at BetFair starting in 2009. This period coincided with the genesis of regulated markets in Europe (Italy, France, Spain). They analyse the failure of the dream of European harmonisation and contrast it with the rise of the US state-by-state regulation, which some prominent lobbyists initially dismissed as "madness". Martin also shares his experience living through major industry mergers, including the BetFair/Paddy Power union (Flutter) and GVC/Ladbrooks Coral (Entain).
This week, the Supreme Court began hearing a historic case which will decide whether President Trump acted lawfully when he imposed "emergency" tariffs against the world. Harrison Lowman speaks to Geoffrey Sigalet, director of the UBC Research Group for Constitutional Law about how he thinks the court might rule, and whether the Trump administration will have to pay back $100 billion in tariffs.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Carney's post-budget release and why it received a lukewarm reception from business and industry groups. They argue that the budget contains too many scattered priorities rather than bold, signature initiatives, and explore whether the budget's technocratic, state-centric approach to economic development can deliver on its promises. They also discuss the budget's immediate political implications—including efforts to entice Conservative MPs to cross the floor. The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.

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.

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!

Visit RIMS.org/Advocacy for more information and updates and to register. [13:28] We've got more plugs later. Let's return to our interview with Kellee Ann Richards-St. Clair! [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!

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Prime Minister Carney's first federal budget featuring a $78.3 billion deficit. While the budget is a departure from the Trudeau era in terms of its diagnosis of what ails Canada's economy, they express concern that it does not meet the moment. They explore whether the government's heavy spending approach and "Laurentian capitalism" model can deliver promised productivity gains, or whether Canada needs a more market-driven strategy focused on tax cuts, deregulation, and unleashing private sector innovation.

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.

Whether you're a veteran, a family member, an educator, or simply someone interested in history and service, this episode offers a profound look at the enduring legacy of America's veterans—and the power of storytelling to unite and inspire us all.Welcome to Looking Forward Our Way! In this special episode, hosts Brett Johnson and Carol Ventresca take us inside the National Veterans Memorial and Museum (NVMM) in Columbus, Ohio, for an inspiring conversation with Colonel Bill Butler, U.S. Army (Retired), and president of the museum. As November marks a time to honor and reflect on the sacrifices of our nation's service members, Colonel Butler shares his remarkable 27-year military journey, the pivotal moments that shaped his career, and the unique challenges veterans face as they transition to civilian life.Together, they talk about the creation and vision of the NVMM—America's first museum dedicated to telling the stories of veterans from all branches and eras, through both war and peace. Colonel Butler sheds light on the museum's four guiding pillars: Honor, Connect, Inspire, and Educate, and highlights how individual stories take center stage. The discussion explores the building's symbolic design, its role in revitalizing Columbus's west side, and the diverse permanent and temporary exhibits that bring the lived experiences of veterans to life.Here are 3 key takeaways from our conversation:Veteran Stories Matter: NVMM uniquely focuses on individual veterans—their backgrounds, motivations, and legacies—not simply on military campaigns.

He also examines how the Carter administration's Cold War mindset contributed to catastrophic miscalculations.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Carney's budget debut tomorrow and what Canada needs most in response to Trump administration tariffs. The conversation centres on Canada's deepening productivity crisis, and whether Ottawa's approach of picking winners through large-scale industrial projects addresses the fundamental issues of declining per capita GDP and living standards. They argue that the government should instead focus on tax reforms and reducing barriers that would unleash entrepreneurship across thousands of small and medium-sized businesses.

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.
In this episode, I respond to two questions from Megan in D.C.—one about navigating self-esteem work and another about handling separation anxiety in school settings. I explain how to respond when a child asks for praise or directs you to say something specific, such as "Say yes." Rather than refusing or complying without context, I share how to reflect the request first ("You want me to say that I like your drawing") before complying. This approach maintains the focus on the child while allowing the work on self-worth and validation to unfold naturally over time. Then I address a complex separation anxiety scenario in a school-based setting. I outline how to advocate for the child by becoming the single point person to eliminate confusion and inconsistency among staff. I also explain how to respond to the child's distress using reflection, patience, and containment—without rescuing or distracting—so the child can develop coping and self-regulation. Finally, I offer practical language parents and teachers can use, including choice-giving and neutral limit-setting, to support the child's adjustment while maintaining boundaries.

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 this episode, Dr. Heidi and I dive into a topic so many of us are quietly wrestling with, but rarely talk about out loud. If you've ever looked in the mirror and thought, “Where did this come from? You're not alone. We get real about what's actually happening in our bodies during midlife, why old strategies stop working, and what truly moves the needle when it comes to feeling like yourself again.Key Highlights:The real reason your body starts to “rearrange itself” in perimenopause.Why traditional weight loss tactics suddenly stop working, and what to do instead.The surprising link between stress hormones, cortisol, and belly fat.How to tell if your gut health might be signaling your body to hold onto weight.The “birds in flight” analogy perfectly explains hormonal balance.Simple ways to reset your stress response without adding another to-do.The truth about prebiotics, probiotics, and why food diversity matters more than perfection.The power of lifting weights, embracing strength, and redefining what “fit” means in midlife.Key Takeaways:“If you win the morning, you're going to win your day. If you can start a morning routine of joy and calm and ease… your stress levels are starting at zero versus already at 50.” – Kellie“When we start to fight the process too hard in one direction, we can create more inflammatory processes…” — Dr. HeidiCome to the Virtual Women's LIFE Summit Nov 5th & 6th, 2025!

What if the peace we long for this season isn’t something to be bought, but something to be protected? In a world filled with tempting offers to “buy now, pay later,” this episode invites us to slow down and make room for calm before the holiday rush begins. Together, we’ll uncover how wise preparation, mindful spending, and trust in God’s provision can quiet the financial noise around us and within us. Let’s rediscover the kind of peace that no purchase can provide—peace that flows from gratitude, wisdom, and faithful stewardship. In this episode, John discusses: How financial “noise” increases during the holiday season and how to quiet it The spiritual and emotional dangers of credit cards and “buy now, pay later” offers Why debt can drown out peace and gratitude in our daily lives Three faithful ways to prepare your heart and finances before the holiday rush Key Takeaways: Real peace can’t be purchased or financed—it’s received, protected, and practiced through faithful, daily decisions that align with God’s wisdom. Financial noise often comes from the world around AND from within us, especially when we rush to satisfy wants instead of resting in God’s provision. Every easy payment or credit decision today is a future commitment that can multiply stress, distraction, and debt. When we choose to pay in full, pause before purchases, and set God-honoring boundaries, we trade financial pressure for lasting peace and freedom. “Victory over debt isn’t just about paying off balances. It's about transforming the heart that created them to begin with.” CLICK ON THE LINKS BELOW FOR MORE MONEY MADE FAITHFUL!

In this episode, I discuss how to determine when a child is truly ready to terminate therapy. While we often focus on the beginning and middle of the CCPT process, understanding when and how to end is equally important. I walk through the four key questions that guide termination readiness — two clinical and two environmental — to help you evaluate both the child's internal progress and external regulation across all environments. I also emphasize that termination should never be abrupt. It's an intentional process that allows the child to emotionally and psychologically prepare for the end of therapy. I share how to use your five-week parent consultations to assess readiness collaboratively, ensuring that both the clinical and environmental criteria are met before beginning the termination phase. Finally, I explain how clear articulation from the very first parent meeting sets the stage for a successful and natural ending to therapy, without premature withdrawal or high attrition.

This week on the podcast, Jackie and Peter begin with a roundup of the latest developments in Canadian energy. They start by discussing Prime Minister Carney's remarks at the ASEAN Summit in Malaysia, where he suggested that Canada could export up to 50 million tonnes of LNG per year (about 6.5 Bcf/d) by 2030, with the potential to double that by 2040. They then turn to the upcoming federal budget, which is expected to include details about Canada's Climate Competitiveness Plan. Another key topic is President Trump's decision to suspend trade talks with Canada following controversy over Ontario's free-trade advertisement. Next, the hosts reflect on Peter's recent commentary in The Hub, titled “Even if Alberta gets a new pipeline, what's next for the oilsands?” Finally, Jackie talks about her recent appearance on a CBC podcast that explored whether Canada can build pipelines while fighting climate change. She explains why she felt the show's coverage was not balanced and shares her broader concerns about how climate and energy topics are often framed in mainstream Canadian media.Content referenced in this podcast: The Globe and Mail, “Carney's climate vision is to deprioritize emissions targets, focus on economic advantages” (October 14, 2025) The Hub “Peter Tertzakian: Even if Alberta gets a new pipeline, what's next for the oilsands?” (October 4, 2025) CAPP Data Centre, “The Economic Impact of Canadian Oil and Gas,” see slide 23 titled “Canada's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by Industry | 2024” Government of Canada Publications, “Public Opinion Research on the National Adaptation Strategy,” (March 2025), see page 6: “A vast majority of people living in Canada (84%) consider climate change an important issue” Angus Reid Institute, “Pipeline Push: Majority of Canadians, including BC Residents support the idea of a pipeline to the north coast” (October 9, 2025) CBC Ideas Podcast “Can we have new pipelines and curb climate change too?” October 7, 2025Please 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
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 this episode, I'm talking about something that's been simmering in my soul for a long time: the quiet pressure to conform, and how easy it is to slip into a life that looks “fine” … but doesn't feel like yours. I'm sharing why I've always chosen to march to my own beat, even when it didn't make sense to anyone else, and how that mindset became the key to living with energy, purpose, and joy well into my 40s, 50s, and beyond. If you've ever felt like you're playing small or waiting for the “right time” to step into your greatness… this one's for you.Key Highlights:“Fine” might feel safe, but it's not where your best life lives.Your kids don't need you to be perfect; they need you to be bold.The people around you shape your energy more than you realize.You don't need January 1st to begin your transformation.True health includes vitality, purpose, and joy, not just diet and exercise.Most people live at a “5”, but you were made for a 10.Being in a “league of your own” isn't weird; it's wisdom.Key Takeaways:“There is no magic and pixie dust that falls upon us on January 1st… You have the decision right now, today.”-Kellie Lupsha“Don't let fear hold you back. Don't let being common hold you back. Don't let feeling fine hold you back.” -Kellie LupshaCome to the Virtual Women's LIFE Summit Nov 5th & 6th, 2025!

Today for episode 279 we have the pleasure of releasing the audio portion of our late September interview with Canton, Ohio artist and podcaster Jéan P The MC! After following his work for a little over a year we were thrilled to chat with him in person from Canton's incredible Hub Art Factory. Our primary points of discussion included his love for the city, giving back to the community and how he has evolved as an artist in his 17 year plus journey. He also talked about his latest album “So I Was Thinking…” and what this particular body of work means to him at this stage of his life. While he continues to record new episodes of his amazing podcast show “Say What You Mean”, Jéan also has been on a stellar run of live shows throughout Ohio and has continued his content creation on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. We thank Jéan for taking the time and for inviting me to The Hub once again to have this discussion. From one fellow northeast Ohio native to another, we tip our hat to all of the amazing things he's doing for the local community and within his career as an artist as well.

Launch Your Box Podcast with Sarah Williams | Start, Launch, and Grow Your Subscription Box
I've been part of The Boutique Hub for more than five years, and I was so excited to welcome its founder, Ashley Alderson, to the Launch Your Box Podcast. Ashley started The Boutique Hub in 2013 to give small business owners a place to connect, learn, and grow together. Today, the Hub supports more than 100,000 small businesses. What Loyalty Really Looks Like When I asked Ashley what customer loyalty actually looks like, she didn't hesitate. It's all about building community. People want to buy from people. The more your customers feel connected to you and your brand, the more loyal they become. Ashley shared her team's approach to content creation, something she calls the VAVA Method. Viral: Is it relatable enough that someone would click, like, share, or comment? Authentic: Does it sound like a real person said it? Value: Does it help your audience by saving them time, solving a problem, or making their day better? Aspirational: Does it make them feel like they're becoming a better version of themselves? When you're running a product-based business, you can't just sell all the time. Ashley says that at any given moment, about 90% of your audience isn't ready to buy, so you need to nurture them with community-building content. Ashley suggests ratio of two-thirds soft-sell, one-third direct-sell. Sales Is a Noble Process Ashley reminded us that selling is about serving. When you connect with your audience, help them solve problems, and make their lives a little better, that's a noble thing. As subscription box owners, we have to be attached to that outcome for our subscribers. We start by building community, then we serve that community, and then we sell to that community. That's servant leadership in action. How to Build Loyalty That Lasts Ashley shared that true loyalty comes from creating an emotional reaction. Everything, from your community and marketing to post-purchase experiences, should make your customers feel something. Your subscribers should always believe the value of your box is greater than its price. As Ashley likes to say, “Cheap ain't loyal.” Be the face of your brand. Let people see you. Because at the end of the day, people want to buy from people. The Six Layers of a Sustainable Business Ashley broke down the six layers every business needs to build a strong foundation: Operations and Brand Profits and Profitability Team Sales Strategy Content Strategy Social Media Each layer works together to create a business that's stable, scalable, and ready for long-term success. The Future of Small Business Ashley sees a shift happening, away from isolation and scrolling, and back toward real human connection. People are craving community, conversation, and relationships again. And that's great news for subscription box owners, because community is what we do best. Take Action Spend time this week building connection with your audience. Share something that's relatable, real, and valuable - something that reminds your followers there's a person behind your brand. Join me for this episode with Ashley Alderson of The Boutique Hub to learn how to build loyalty through community and content that connects.
