This is your trusted space to cut through the noise, ditch the overwhelm, and finally feel extraordinary in your body, mind, and life. Are you who are ready to stop pushing through life and start living it with intention, energy, and ease? Then let's get started. I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In this episode, Heidi and I are so incredibly excited to kick off 2026 with you. We know that right now, many of you might be feeling like you're on a hamster wheel, overcommitted, running on empty, and wondering where all your power went. This challenge isn't about adding more to your plate or forcing you to do ten new things every day. Instead, we're diving into where your energy is currently leaking so you can stop the drain and start thriving. Key Highlights:➡️ Dr. Heidi shares her transition from pro bicycle racing to functional medicine ➡️ Kellie shares why she shifted from clinical practice to focusing on women's longevity.➡️ How true energy isn't something you hunt for in a pill or drink; it's a powerhouse unit you generate from within.➡️ How being too capable can actually become a negative feedback loop that leads to overcommitment.➡️ Why handing over your power to your phone first thing in the day creates immediate decision fatigue.➡️ Dr. Heidi explains how your body confuses emotional stress with physical stress, costing you the same energy currency.➡️ Why your body doesn't know the difference between a workout and a difficult conversation, and how that costs you currency. ➡️ How the relationships and groups we join can unknowingly drain us faster than anything else.➡️ Why recovery is just as important as performance and how to start sleeping like a boss.Key Takeaways:"Energy is something that we create inside of us... But we actually can call up more energy. We can decide that." -Kellie Lupsha"Energy isn't something to go grab, go hunt for, go look for... No, it's in here and we generate it. We are a powerhouse unit." -Dr. Heidi*TAKE THE FREE ~ DISCOVER YOUR MIDLIFE HEALTH BLUEPRINT*****>>> Click Here

In this episode, I challenge the widespread use of the phrase "imposter syndrome" in the therapy field and invite you to reconsider what you're saying—and believing—about yourself as a clinician. I explain how this language often gets introduced early in training and can quietly shape how therapists view their competence, especially when they're new. But in child-centered play therapy, if you are showing up, prioritizing relationship, and staying faithful to the model, there is nothing "imposter" about your work. Being inexperienced or still developing your skills does not mean you are pretending—it means you are in process. I also explore how negative self-labeling becomes a self-fulfilling pattern, much like the labels we work so hard to undo in the children we serve. If we consistently tell ourselves that we are inadequate or don't know what we're doing, we move in that direction. Instead, I encourage you to shift your internal dialogue toward growth, effort, and commitment to mastery. You don't have to be perfect to be effective. You just have to be present, engaged, and willing to keep learning. This is a call to stop reinforcing discouraging narratives and start speaking into the kind of therapist you are becoming.

Over the past decade, the Canadian economy has been driven largely by consumption and government spending, while business investment has remained relatively flat. To accelerate Canada's economic growth, an objective emphasized by Prime Minister Mark Carney, Canada will need stronger business investment, particularly investments with the “one-two punch” of growing the economy through increased capital spending in the early years and greater exports in the longer term. To explore the historical drivers of GDP and what expanded export capacity could mean for Canada's economy, Mark Parsons, Vice President and Chief Economist at ATB Financial, joins Jackie and Peter on the podcast. The discussion ends with answering the question: What would an additional 1.5 million barrels per day of oil pipeline export capacity, including a West Coast pipeline to Asia and other expansion projects, mean for Canada's gross domestic product (GDP) growth and jobs outlook over the next decade? Studio.Energy and ATB have collaborated on a series of reports examining Canada's GDP and the potential economic impact of increased oil export capacity. The series also includes background articles explaining how GDP is calculated and historical trends. These articles are available on both the Studio.Energy and ATB websites (see links below). Content referenced in this podcast:Peter Tertzakian's op-ed in The Hub.ca: The next act in the oil crisis: Time to get ready for rationing and hoarding?

New Podcast with Aave founder Stani Kulechov just dropped: Aave is at a turning point - will the Aave Will Win proposal lead to innovation or chaos? Aave is navigating a pivotal moment with the recent "Aave will win" proposal. This initiative aims to redirect 100% of protocol revenue back to the Aave DAO, a move that many in the community have embraced. But with any major change comes scrutiny.Critics are questioning the governance structure, suggesting that Aave Labs may have too much influence. Stani Kulechov addresses these concerns, clarifying that no votes from Aave Labs swayed the outcome. Stani also discussed the 'Hub and Spoke' architecture of Aave V4, explaining how it will solve liquidity bootstrapping for developers and pave the way for Real World Assets (RWAs) like solar farms and GPUs. It's clear that Aave is focused on growth and innovation.

Nathan Rust, Senior VP of Corporate Development, Salas O'Brien Salas O'Brien has completed 30+ mergers with a 100% success rate and 93% cumulative leadership retention.  That doesn't happen by accident. Nathan Rust, Senior VP of Corp Dev, explains the system behind those numbers. He shares how they screen bad fits on the first call, why their CEO meets every employee from acquired firms, and how a founder-driven sourcing flywheel attracts inbound deals. In this episode: You'll learn how they screen 200+ opportunities a year down to the ones worth closing, why their initial diligence list is 10 questions, how reverse due diligence works as a real screening tool, and what CEO-led integration meetings mean for retention. The core argument: Cultural fit isn't a soft metric. Believe it or not, it's the primary filter for deals. EBITDA tells you what you're buying, but people tell you whether it survives.  If you run corp dev at a people-intensive business and wonder why your post-close retention doesn't match your pre-close promises, this episode is for you. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why retention is one of the most overlooked risks in M&A How cultural compatibility is assessed during early conversations Why many buyers damage their reputation by retrading deals How equity rollovers align incentives between buyers and sellers Why simplicity in diligence often produces better results How direct outreach and referrals drive proprietary deal flow The role of reverse diligence in evaluating buyer credibility This episode is sponsored by M&A Science If you're struggling to retain founder-led leadership teams post-close, the Hub has frameworks for cultural integration and leadership retention to help you actually deliver on what you promised at signing.

In this episode, I answer a listener question about working with an inquisitive 11-year-old who frequently asks questions during sessions. Many child-centered play therapists struggle with how to respond when children ask for information, especially because the model encourages us to feign ignorance, avoid teaching, and return responsibility to the child. I explain why our adherence to the CCPT model should never be dictated by how a child reacts, even when frustration emerges. When a child becomes upset about not getting answers, that reaction is often revealing something important about their need for control, certainty, or responsibility—exactly the material that needs to surface in the playroom. I also discuss how therapists can use clinical judgment when deciding whether to answer a child's question. If the question is relational and aimed at getting to know the therapist, brief and appropriate answers can support connection. But when questions are driven by power, control, or a demand for certainty, we return responsibility rather than becoming the source of information. I clarify the appropriate use of "I wonder" statements as well, explaining that they should be reserved for moments when we genuinely need information from the child to participate in the play. Ultimately, the goal is to balance fidelity to the model with genuine, relational engagement so the playroom remains both child-centered and authentic.

I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In this episode, Heidi and I dive into one of the hottest and most misunderstood topics in health right now: GLP-1s.

China's Two Sessions spotlight the policies and priorities shaping the country's future. How will China build a greener society while supporting a rapidly aging population? And how can the country ensure food security for 1.4 billion people in the years ahead? In this edition of The Hub, our Gen-Z reporters Wang Naiqian and Liu Mengling were at the scene, exploring several major issues discussed during the 2026 Two Sessions. As China pushes for greener development and examines how legislative efforts are strengthening the country's environmental commitments, it also looks at the rise of the silver economy and discusses how longer life expectancy is transforming lifestyles, opportunities, and services for older adults. Regarding agriculture and food security, they also see how China continues to feed its large population while expanding the diversity and quality of food choices.

In this episode, I talk through the differences between independent play and collaborative play in child-centered play therapy sessions, and why understanding the distinction is so important. Early in the therapy process, children often play independently as they are still orienting to the playroom, building trust, and determining whether the relationship feels safe. Independent play is not a problem to solve and does not mean the child is "stuck." In fact, a child may play independently throughout the entire course of therapy and still be doing exactly what they need to do for their own healing process. I also explain the different degrees of collaborative play that can emerge when a child begins to include the therapist. These invitations can range from very small moments—such as asking the therapist to retrieve an object or count something—to deeper levels of shared play where the therapist takes on a character or participates directly in the action. The first time a child invites us into their play at any level is incredibly meaningful because it reflects trust, alliance, and the child's recognition that we are part of their therapeutic journey. I also discuss how noticing and documenting these shifts can help therapists track progress and communicate meaningful changes to parents during consultations.

In den kommenden Wochen will der Konzern festlegen, ob das nächste große Infrastrukturprojekt am Flughafen Frankfurt oder am Flughafen München umgesetzt wird.Zur Auswahl stehen zwei gewaltige Projekte:• Ein mögliches Joint Venture mit Fraport für die Zusammenlegung von Terminal 1 und Terminal 2 in Frankfurt.• Oder der Ausbau des Satellitenterminals in München mit dem sogenannten T-Stiel, der die Kapazität um weitere 10 Millionen Passagiere erhöhen könnte.Eines ist klar: Beides wird Lufthansa nicht gleichzeitig bauen.Die Entscheidung wird daher bestimmen, welches Drehkreuz in den nächsten Jahrzehnten das stärkere Wachstum bekommt.Was bedeutet das für Passagiere, Umsteiger und den Wettbewerb der deutschen Flughäfen?

Veteran war correspondent Scott Anderson discusses his book "Lawrence in Arabia: War, Deceit, Imperial Folly and the Making of the Modern Middle East" live at the Royal Canadian Military Institute. Anderson explores the eccentric T.E. Lawrence's transformation from British intelligence officer to a rebel fighting mercilessly for Arab independence, his pioneering guerrilla warfare tactics in the desolate desert, and his ultimate betrayal through the secret Sykes-Picot Agreement. The interview examines Lawrence's conflicted loyalties, his rejection of British imperialism, and how the post-WWI partition of the Middle East planted seeds of war that continue to be felt today. This episode was taped live on February 11, 2026, as part of the RCMI's military history night series.   The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.   Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get all our best content: https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple) https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify) Follow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=en   CREDITS: Amal Attar-Guzman - Producer and Editor Harrison Lowman - Host

Larry Ostola speaks with J.D.M Stewart about his book The Prime Ministers: Canada's Leaders and the Nation They Shaped. After a surprising conversation with young Canadians who didn't recognize the name Lester B. Pearson – Nobel Peace Prize winner and Canada's fourteenth prime minister — author J.D.M. Stewart set out to bring the country's history to a new generation. The result is The Prime Ministers, a lively, accessible chronicle of Canada's leaders, from Sir John A. Macdonald in 1867 to Mark Carney in 2025. With engaging prose and fresh insights, Stewart captures the defining moments of each prime minister's time in office, revealing how they managed relationships with Indigenous peoples, the environment, American presidents, and international powers. He also explores how their reputations have evolved – who has been forgotten, who remains controversial, and who has become a lasting part of Canada's cultural fabric. The Prime Ministers is a necessary and important book, intended both for newcomers to Canadian history and those who have loved it for a long time. J.D.M. Stewart is a writer, historian, and one of the country's foremost experts on Canadian prime ministers. His commentary regularly appears in the Globe & Mail, The Hub, and the Literary Review of Canada. His previous book, Being Prime Minister, was a Hill Times Top 100 pick. He has also inspired a generation of students during his thirty-year career teaching history to high school students in Toronto, Montreal, and Panama City. He lives in Toronto.

In this episode, I answer two listener questions that highlight common challenges child-centered play therapists face in session and in communication with parents. First, I respond to a question about a child who unexpectedly leaves the playroom and begins knocking on another counselor's door. I explain how to think clearly about the actual limit in the situation, why identifying the correct limit is essential for offering effective choices, and how therapists can position themselves proactively once they know a child may try to leave the room. I also walk through examples of choices that map directly to the limit so the child can return to compliance while still maintaining the integrity of the play therapy process. In the second question, I discuss how to handle parents who send frequent, lengthy emails analyzing their child's behavior. I explain why this often stems from parents' anxiety and their previous experiences with other systems like schools or medical providers. I emphasize the importance of clearly articulating communication expectations from the very first parent consultation and outline a simple script therapists can use to acknowledge emails without reinforcing constant communication. I also explain how to reset expectations with parents when boundaries were not clearly established at the beginning of the relationship.

This is your trusted space to cut through the noise, ditch the overwhelm, and finally feel extraordinary in your body, mind, and life. Are you ready to stop pushing through life and start living it with intention, energy, and ease? Then let's get started. 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 you've probably heard about lately: glutathione. But we're not just talking about what it is, we're uncovering whether those pricey injections and IVs are really the most effective way to get it. We explore how your body is already designed to produce this master antioxidant and how you can support that natural process in smarter, more sustainable ways. Join us as we explore the science of recycling, gene activation, and how to get the most impact for your health without breaking the bank.Key Highlights:➡️ Why we often take our internal processes for granted until we feel sick or slowed down.➡️ What glutathione is and why it's crucial for immunity and detoxification.➡️ The important distinction between your body making glutathione versus you simply adding it externally.➡️ How we visualize glutathione taking hits from free radicals and getting back online.➡️ Why the body's ability to recycle antioxidants is just as important as producing them.➡️ The specific foods and nutrients, like selenium and arugula, that signal production.➡️ The pros and cons of IVs, injections, pills, and liposomal forms.➡️ Practical, cost-effective strategies to support long-term health and vitality.Key Takeaways:"Glutathione is the master antioxidant that our body makes. Yes, we make it."- Kellie Lupsha"I love liposomal glutathione. Liposomal means it is already broken down. It's already in a usable form. So, the minute you put it in your mouth, your body can absorb it." - Dr. Heidi*TAKE THE FREE ~ DISCOVER YOUR MIDLIFE HEALTH BLUEPRINT*****>>> Click Here

The Last Supper: Love and Betrayal | Cowboy Bible Study We are just 12 hours away from the crucifixion. The scene is the Passover Feast, but the atmosphere is about to change forever. In this installment of Save the Cowboy, Kevin Weatherby takes us into the room where the mightiest cowboy to ever ride prepares to become the ultimate Passover Lamb. The "Hoof Washing": A God Who Kneels Jesus didn't just teach humility; He lived it. When He took off His outer cloak to wash the disciples' feet, He was mirroring His entire mission. He left the throne of heaven, put on the "clothes" of a human servant, and knelt in the dirt so we could be clean. Cleaning Your Boots: Being saved means you're bathed in love, but walking through this world gets your gear dirty. We discuss why confession and repentance are about cleaning your boots, not losing your salvation. A Mirror of Heaven: Discover the deep symbolism behind Jesus taking off His cloak and putting it back on—the perfect picture of the Incarnation and His return to the throne. The Snake in the Grass: Lord or Teacher? We look at the seating chart of the triclinium and the tragedy of Judas. There is a massive difference between being a fan of Jesus and making Him your Lord. While the other disciples asked, "Am I the one, Lord?" Judas could only call Him "Teacher." The Exit into Night: The moment Judas stepped away from the Light of the World and into the darkness of his own free will. The Judas in Us: Most of our problems come from getting mad when God isn't who we want Him to be, rather than submitting to who He is. The Toughest Commandment Jesus leaves us with a "refreshed" command: Love one another as He loved us. This isn't a suggestion; it's the proof of your Cowboy Ministry. How you treat the people you most dislike is the true test of whether you are a follower of Christ or just a faker. Join the Long X Ranch Cowboys Our new central hub is live!

What if the shifts we feel in our finances each season are less about circumstances and more about the beliefs guiding our choices?  Today we explore how spring naturally invites a financial refresh and why money behaviors tend to drift when underlying beliefs quietly change.  Drawing from behavioral insights and real life patterns, John unpacks five common money behaviors—mental accounting, framing, following the herd, decision paralysis, and overconfidence—and how they influence our choices without us realizing it. With thoughtful reflection and practical encouragement, this episode invites you to examine what you believe about money so your actions can reset and refresh with your values, goals, and faithful financial stewardship. In this episode, John discusses:  How spring offers a natural invitation to refresh and reset your money habits and heart posture Why money behaviors don’t drift randomly, but shift when underlying beliefs quietly change The “silent partners” influencing your financial choices How to trace unhelpful financial behaviors back to beliefs like fear, fatigue, comparison, entitlement, or doubt What it means to rreset and refresh your money with faithful stewardship, Kingdom impact, and God’s greater story Key Takeaways: Money behaviors rarely change in isolation; they almost always follow a quiet shift in what we believe or influences. Treating some income as “extra” (like bonuses, refunds, or found money) can lead to poor spending, but viewing every dollar as God’s provision invites greater intentionality and faithfulness. The way we frame our financial questions can completely change the decisions we make. Comparison, social media highlight reels, and cultural momentum can gently pull us into “following the herd,” unless we choose to move from conviction instead of crowd pressure. A gentle spring reset is about awareness, revisiting core beliefs, and allowing God to realign our money behaviors with His purposes, so that our finances serve not just our comfort but our calling. “When your beliefs settle back into place, when you anchor back into those wise and faithful beliefs, your behaviors shift, not just improving your bank account financially, but in your thinking and in your heart.” SPECIAL LISTENER GIFT and details:  This month, March 3-31, 2026, John is giving away 28 signed hardcover copies of his book He Spends, She Spends— and he’ll even cover the postage for shipping in the continental United States - one (1) book per person, per email, per address - to receive your book, email john@moneymadefaithful.com with your first and last name and mailing address.

In this episode, I address something I see far too often in child-centered play therapy: therapists struggling to let children struggle. If it is painful for you to watch a child wrestle with frustration, anger, failure, or confusion in the playroom, we need to examine that. Returning responsibility is not a technical skill we check off a list — it is a philosophical commitment. When we subtly rescue, hint, guide, or ease a child's struggle, we undermine the very growth CCPT is designed to produce. I revisit the butterfly-and-cocoon metaphor from the CPRT curriculum to illustrate why struggle is not harmful — it is strengthening. The resistance, frustration, and emotional intensity children experience in the playroom are the very processes that build regulation, grit, competence, and self-trust. Our role is not to fix, save, or soothe away difficulty. Our role is to stay grounded, neutral, and expectant — trusting that what the child is working through is exactly what they need. If we are internally distressed by their struggle, that is our work to do. Fidelity to the model requires that we celebrate the struggle, not relieve it.

We have talked a lot about energy, performance, and wellness but today I open up about a different layer of transformation. I explore how meditation is not just about relaxing or calming down, but about intentionally becoming someone new. I take you behind the scenes of what I am practicing in my own life and how this work is reshaping the way I think about healing, identity, and possibility.Key Highlights:➡️ Why meditation isn't just about calming down, but rather a deliberate act of installing a new personality to change your personal reality.➡️ How moving from high beta survival states into alpha and theta waves opens the door for rewiring and creation.➡️ The powerful concept that current circumstances cannot change without a shift in personality.➡️ Why visualization alone is insufficient and why one must feel the emotions of gratitude before evidence appears.➡️ How the body memorizes past states and the necessity of breaking addiction to old emotional patterns to find safety.➡️ The importance of consistency is highlighted, specifically rehearsing a new identity morning and night to compound changes.➡️ The specific framework involving induction, dissolving the old self, and installing the new self for measurable change.Key Takeaways:"Meditation is the deliberate act of installing a new personality. And personality equals personal reality." -Kellie Lupsha“Meditation is where knowledge becomes biology... You're not thinking your way into change. You're installing it." -Kellie Lupsha*TAKE THE FREE ~ DISCOVER YOUR MIDLIFE HEALTH BLUEPRINT*****>>> Click Here

In this episode, we break down SECONDHAND LIONS (2003) — the underrated coming-of-age film starring Robert Duvall, Michael Caine, and Haley Joel Osment. We dive into the powerful themes of masculinity, boyhood, courage, and what it really means to become a man.We analyze Robert Duvall's performance as Hub, Michael Caine's emotional storytelling, and how Haley Joel Osment's character arc is literally reflected through his voice changing as he grows up. We unpack the symbolism behind the lion, the deeper meaning of the Africa stories, and why the “secondhand” metaphor represents aging warriors searching for purpose.From the unforgettable fight scene to the gut-punch moment when Hub reveals what happened to Jasmine, we discuss how this feel-good movie quietly delivers emotional depth. We also break down the psychology behind why so many kid movies use absent or flawed parents to create empathy — and why this storytelling technique works so well here.SECONDHAND LIONS may look like a simple family movie, but underneath it's about legacy, honor, storytelling, and raising a boy into a man.Chapters:00:00 RIP Robert Duvall00:09:06 The most insane place to travel back in the day00:12:28 Haley Joel Osment back at it again00:15:34 A trope of all children movies00:20:33 Great character dynamics00:25:25 Our favorite scene from the movie00:28:28 Evil pigs on set00:31:32 The director has a great childhood movie slate00:32:36 The story of them destroying a families home to film00:33:58 Walter never learned his lesson00:35:28 Visual storytelling of Walters problem00:37:37 The original ending00:39:30 Love seeing Walter get some action00:43:01 The nightmare of animal wrangling for movies00:50:57 The secret to get actors to cry00:55:10 Our official rating & final thoughts01:00:05 Cue the music

What do you do with a bucket truck after Christmas light season is over? If you're Trevor, you start installing signs; and eventually build two separate companies from that single piece of equipment. In this episode, Aaron sits down with Trevor Lavy, a former utility lineman who stumbled into the sign industry through a power washing trailer, some vinyl graphics, and a whole lot of entrepreneurial hustle. From buying a struggling vinyl shop to surviving a skid steer falling off a trailer on the interstate, Trevor shares the raw, unfiltered journey of building Vantage Signs and Sign Service Pro. The conversation dives deep into the decision to split a sign company into two separate entities—one for manufacturing, one for installation—and the unexpected pros and cons that came with it.

Parenting often feels like a high-stakes balancing act, especially when raising neurodivergent children. The pressure to get it right, advocate effectively, and manage dysregulation can leave parents frustrated and exhausted. But what if the key to being a calmer, more effective parent wasn't about doing more, but about treating yourself with more kindness? Today, Emily sits down with Dr. Jen Ferris, a former child development professor and author of Parenting with Self-Compassion. They move beyond the fluffy idea of "self-care" to discuss self-compassion as a concrete tool for nervous system regulation. They also talk about how perfectionism and comparison fuel chronic stress, and why letting our kids see us make mistakes (and fix them) might actually be the best lesson in resilience we can teach them. TAKEAWAYS Self-compassion consists of three parts: self-kindness, mindfulness, and common humanity. Perfectionism is often a response to uncertainty and a need for reassurance that they are on the right path. Parents who admit mistakes and apologize model resilience, and show it's safe to be imperfect. It's difficult to rationalize with a dysregulated child. Focus on safety and connection instead. Replacing negative self-talk with self-compassion can change the emotional climate of the home. The Educator Hub is now open, this week only! Come join us. The Hub is for educators and school administrators who want to improve the classroom learning environment for not only neurodivergent students, but for all students. Dr. Jen Ferris is a former child development professor with years of experience teaching parenting and child development, as well as working directly with children of all ages. As a parent of two, including one neurodivergent child, she brings both professional expertise and lived experience to her work supporting families. Her debut book, Parenting with Self-Compassion: 12 Ways to Improve Your Parenting While Being Kind to Yourself, offers practical strategies for communication, discipline, and connection, especially for parents of neurodivergent children. Dr. Jen emphasizes self-compassion as a powerful tool for staying calm, building stronger relationships, and feeling more confident in the parenting journey.
