A high-energy, unfiltered morning talk show host returned to the air after a brief illness, sounding about 85% but fired up and ready to go. He kicked things off by announcing he's permanently dropping all personal drama and online stalker nonsense from the show (“that stuff gets the least engagement anyway; y'all clearly don't care”), and instead wants to focus on the topics the audience actually enjoys. He ran a quick poll: In order of preference, what do you want the show to cover most? Hyper-local city and county issues Statewide stories National/Trump/world events Sports (toss it in wherever it fits) Most early feedback said “keep the mix but lean heavy on local rot and national politics.”Main topics of the morning: Street preachers and the First Amendment fight headed to the Supreme Court A group of aggressive street preachers who scream insults, call women whores and Jezebels, and wave graphic aborted-fetus signs at concertgoers, restaurant patios, and public events have been restricted to a designated protest zone outside a local amphitheater. After repeated fights (including one preacher getting punched), the city passed an ordinance moving them away from the entrance. The preachers sued, claiming religious/free-speech violations, and the case is now SCOTUS-bound. Host's take: “This isn't real evangelism; this is theater kids trying to get punched so they can play victim and sue. It's a grift that makes Christians look insane and drives people away from faith. You have the right to speak, but you don't have the right to scream fighting words in people's faces while they're just trying to eat dinner or go to a concert. Moving them across the street is common-sense time/place/manner restriction, not censorship.” The city of Jackson passing an ordinance that officially prohibits city employees from associating with or doing business with known drug dealers Introduced by a longtime councilman who says “dope boys have too much control in certain neighborhoods.” Host (who grew up in and ran nightlife in the city for decades) called it one of the wildest headlines he's ever seen, proof of how deep the corruption and cultural rot had gotten: Cops, code-enforcement officers, and even some DA staff grew up with the same drug dealers they're now supposed to police or prosecute. Street pressure (“you don't snitch on Pookie”) plus low pay makes corruption easy and common. Many nightclubs, car washes, detail shops, and bars in the city are allegedly money-laundering fronts for dealers; some owners are the dealers themselves. Past stories of JPD officers escorting drug shipments or letting connected dealers walk after traffic stops were cited as symptoms of the same disease. He praised the new mayoral administration and current council for at least acknowledging the problem out loud and trying to do something about it, noting he hasn't heard the usual racial-grievance or “black jobs” talking points since they took over. Other quick hits: A Mississippi man who impersonated a drug-task-force agent and actually showed up at the sheriff's office when they called his bluff = instant “F Around and Find Out” champion of the day. Breaking news that the January 6 pipe-bomber has finally been arrested (suspect reportedly tied to anarchist/Antifa ideology). Quick celebration that certain blue states refusing to turn over welfare-fraud data may lose federal SNAP funding soon. Overall tone: zero sugar-coating, heavy on local culture-rot commentary, strong defense of reasonable free-speech limits when they prevent real-world harassment, and cautious optimism that the city might finally be turning a corner under new leadership.The host closed by saying it was one of his favorite shows in months and promised a “FAFO Friday” tomorrow.

I wanted to talk about this dirty dirty word of 'dependence' and share some of my random thoughts about it today. It set me free a little, I hope it does you too. 

Recorded on the floor of the EMS|MC EMSpire Conference in Charleston, South Carolina, this episode of EMS One-Stop finds host Rob Lawrence in conversation with long-time collaborator and EMS advocate Matt Zavadsky. Fresh off the longest federal government shutdown in history, Rob and Matt unpack what the hyper-turbulence in Washington really means for EMS: suspended Medicare extenders, disrupted grant programs, agencies taking out loans just to meet payroll and training programs put on hold. They break down NAEMT's flash poll on the shutdown's impact, the promise of the Treatment in Place (TIP) legislation, and why associations “hunting as a pack” on Capitol Hill matters more than ever. Along the way, they spotlight EMSIntel.org as a national barometer of EMS funding, staffing and response time crises, and issue a clear call to action for providers, billers and leaders to use association tools to contact their members of Congress. | MORE: Government reopens: What EMS providers need to know right now In the second half, Rob is joined by Dr. Shannon Gollnick, paramedic, EMS leader and organizational psychologist, to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping EMS — right now. Shannon makes the case that AI is “not the future; it is the present,” and that agency leaders must urgently build literacy, policies and guardrails around its use. They dig into the difference between HIPAA-compliant, embedded AI in ePCR systems, and risky open tools like ChatGPT, touching on hallucinations, embedded code and emerging Medicare fraud-detection programs. | MORE: Artificial to augmented intelligence. How Dr. Shannon Gollnick wants EMS to work smarter, not harder Rob and Shannon talk about AI as a powerful but potentially dangerous tool — “like having a tiger” — and outline practical steps for chiefs: Ask: “Do we have an AI policy?” Define what AI can and cannot be used for Insist that every AI-generated work product is double-checked by a human before it hits the record Memorable quotes “We weren't here to actually scare you off it. We're here to let you know that it's here, but it's like having a tiger, right? We all love to have a tiger, but it has to be contained in some sort of guard, otherwise it's going to run rife and cause havoc, and we don't want that.” — Rob Lawrence “This is part of the hyper-turbulence that's occurring in EMS right now.” — Matt Zavadsky “So I think the message for the profession right now is, now is not the time to put your foot on the brake. It's time to put your foot on the gas.” — Matt Zavadsky “We put the fun into function.” — Dr. Shannon Gollnick “I think it's important to understand that AI is not the future. It is the present. We are currently here right now. And it's nothing to be afraid of.” — Dr. Shannon Gollnick “If you're not doing it, I promise you that your staff is doing it and they're playing around with AI.” — Dr. Shannon Gollnick “Guardrails don't exist from a congressional standpoint. They don't exist from a regulatory standpoint. The technology is moving far too fast. So we as agency leaders have to take the lead in putting up some of those guardrails.” — Dr. Shannon Gollnick “There are ePCR software out there that are using proprietary AI that will use AI-generated narratives. And that absolutely is 100% good to go. What we don't want to see is our crews putting in their ChatGPT to have ChatGPT write their narrative.” — Dr. Shannon Gollnick “ChatGPT has embedded code inside of it that you can't see, but that code is there ... so what we're kind of afraid to do is to say, hey, what happens 6 months from now, 8 months from now when Medicare does an audit, they run your ePCRs and find all of this embedded code from ChatGPT ... you open yourself up for a lot of compliance issues.” — Dr. Shannon Gollnick Additional resources: EMS Intel EMS News Tracker American Ambulance Association Advocacy NAEMT Advocacy EMS shutdown survival: What leaders need to know now Charting the future: How AI is rewriting the EMS narrative Episode timeline: 00:21 – Rob introduces guest Matt Zavadsky 02:02 – Rob recaps the 40-plus-day federal government shutdown, questions about reopening, and his upcoming return to Capitol Hill for renewed advocacy 02:02 – Matt frames the shutdown as part of the “hyper turbulence” in EMS; explains the regulatory suspensions, pauses in Medicare extenders and grants, and how cash-flow uncertainty forced some agencies to take out loans just to make payroll 03:04 – Matt details NAEMT's flash poll (408 agency responses) showing suspended training and grant-funded programs, and warns of a possible repeat shutdown around January 30 03:54 – Rob and Matt discuss the reopening of government, ongoing bipartisan work, and the risk that everything “comes to a grinding halt” again if Congress can't agree 04:51 – Matt explains why NAEMT released the shutdown-impact poll even as government reopened and stresses the need to keep pushing for permanent relief from Medicare extenders and advancement of key bills like Treatment in Place (TIP) 06:03 – Matt outlines the House and Senate TIP companion bills and why Medicare paying for treatment in place is better for patients, EMS, the health system and the Medicare trust fund 06:54 – Rob notes broad association/provider support and professional lobbyists on the Hill; Matt stresses that field providers, administrators and billers must still use association legislative portals to send letters to Congress 08:08 – Matt describes a surge in communities reevaluating their EMS delivery models because of staffing, finance and subsidy challenges — “a great time to be an EMS consultant” 09:09 – Rob introduces EMSIntel.org as a curated clearinghouse of EMS news, used to show communities they aren't alone; describes failed tax measures and funding referenda 10:15 – Matt cites EMS Intel data: ~85% of stories each month involve funding, staffing or response times; Rob and Matt stress the ubiquity of these themes from big cities to small towns 11:09 – Rob highlights mutual aid tensions and taxpayers questioning why they “pay to send our resources somewhere else;” both emphasize that hyper-turbulence and funding gaps are national issues 13:23 – Rob resets the scene from the EMSpire conference and recaps Matt's Hill update before introducing Dr. Shannon Gollnick 14:41 – Shannon gives his backstory: in EMS since 1996, paramedic since 2002, progression into EMS leadership, doctorate in organizational psychology and focus on how organizations function 15:14 – “We put the fun into function.” 15:24 – Rob invites Shannon to talk AI, calling it “the specter we are embracing everywhere,” and references HIPAA concerns; Shannon opens with the core message: AI is not the future, it's the present, and nothing to be afraid of 16:03 – Shannon urges leaders to build AI literacy, noting that if agencies aren't using it, their staff and the younger generation already are 16:28 – Shannon emphasizes policy and procedure: AI guardrails aren't coming from Congress or regulators, so agency leaders must define how AI will be used and where its limits are 16:55 – Rob reminds listeners that AI in EMS isn't new, citing early monitor rhythm interpretation in the UK; Shannon underscores that crews already use AI tools and that unmanaged cut-and-paste practices can create billing and compliance risks 17:24 – Shannon explains the dangers of using open tools like ChatGPT for ePCR narratives: potential PHI exposure in a “black box” system and AI hallucinations generating plausible but false patient information 18:21 – Shannon describes how AI “wants to answer your question and make you happy,” leading to made-up details, and shares examples from testing minimal-input scenarios that returned overly detailed, inaccurate narratives. 19:03 – Shannon calls ChatGPT “kind of a snitch,” explaining embedded code markers that fraud detection tools — and increasingly Medicare's AI-based “Wiser” program — can use to identify AI-written content in documentation 19:59 – Shannon warns about retrospective audits and compliance exposure if ChatGPT-coded narratives are found in ePCRs, noting that AI rules are still emerging and tech is outrunning regulation 20:51 – Rob summarizes the mixed message: AI is here and being built into devices and software, but there are real dangers.

What if "nothing happened" in your childhood, yet you still feel numb, flooded, or stuck in people pleasing or hyper-independence? This episode explores childhood emotional neglect, an often overlooked Adverse Childhood Experience that can wire the nervous system away from felt safety, expression, and connection. We look at how a lack of attunement can shape brain function, stress responses, and adult relationships, and why naming the pattern opens a path to repair. In this conversation, co-hosts Elisabeth Kristof and Jennifer Wallace map out how emotional neglect shows up across attachment patterns, boundaries, and health outputs. They share trauma-informed context, lived reflections, and practical neurosomatic tools to rebuild capacity for feeling, processing, and connection without blame.  You will learn how repression becomes protection, why hyper-independence can feel "safer" than asking for help, and where to begin with gentle, minimum-effective-dose practices to increase interoceptive awareness and co-regulation in daily life. This episode is for anyone who grew up in a "pretty good" home yet struggles with shutdown or overwhelm, for cycle-breaking parents, and for practitioners supporting clients with complex stress patterns. You will leave with language for your experience and first steps to begin rewiring. Timestamps: 00:00 Why emotional neglect is an overlooked ACE 05:00 Defining emotional neglect and attunement needs in development 11:00 Repression as protection and links to adult health outputs 18:00 Attachment patterns, people pleasing, and hyper-independence 25:00 Practicing self-compassion while breaking cycles 32:00 Parenting notes: modeling emotions and co-regulation 39:00 Neurosomatic tools and first steps for repair   Key Takeaways: Emotional neglect can be subtle yet impactful, shaping nervous system patterns, attachment, and long-term health without assigning blame. Repression often begins when big emotions are not met with co-regulation; later, it can appear as numbness, pain, inflammation, or compulsive coping. Hyper-independence can be a protective strategy that avoids the vulnerability of asking for support. Gentle, consistent practices that build interoceptive awareness and capacity help contribute to feeling safe again. Modeling emotional expression and staying present are powerful ways caregivers support nervous system development.

CONTINUED  Hyper-Individualism Since 1968 Has Fractured Civic Communion, Demands Rebuilding of Formative Institutions— Richard Reinsch 1865 FARMVILLE VA

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Francis Hunt to the show. Francis Hunt is the Renegade Trader, Analyst, & Founder of The Market Sniper. In this wide-ranging discussion, Hunt presents a comprehensive view of the current economic landscape, focusing on precious metals, debt, and potential financial system transformations. Hunt argues that the world is experiencing a significant economic paradigm shift characterized by debt debasement and financial repression. He believes we are in the early stages of a precious metals bull market, with gold, silver, and particularly platinum presenting substantial investment opportunities. He emphasizes the scarcity of these metals, especially platinum, which he sees as dramatically undervalued compared to its rarity. The discussion explores the potential risks in the current financial system, particularly around AI investments and government interventions. Hunt is critical of government policies, viewing them as mechanisms designed to reduce individual economic freedom. He suggests that governments are likely to implement increasingly aggressive tax policies and financial controls, which he terms “tax scavenge mode.” Francis predicts a complex economic future characterized by “hyperstagflation” – a period of economic stagnation combined with inflationary pressures. He recommends investors protect themselves by holding physical precious metals, with gold as the foundation, followed by silver and platinum. He also suggests that mining stocks could provide opportunities, though they carry more volatility. Geopolitically, Hunt sees interesting developments with the BRICS nations potentially introducing a gold-backed currency, which could force Western economies to reconsider their monetary strategies. He’s particularly skeptical of government statistics and mainstream narratives, encouraging investors to look beyond official reports. Ultimately, Hunt’s message is one of cautious opportunity. While he sees significant economic challenges ahead, he believes informed investors can protect and potentially grow their wealth by understanding these trends and positioning themselves strategically in precious metals and select investments.

Unlike most educators in the trading space, Francis walks the walk and talks the talk, with 30 years of experience trading his personal capital on various markets and instruments. Through this passion for trading and his relentless study of markets and economic theory, he uses the Hunt Volatility Funnel trading methodology, a systemized approach, to answer the critical question: What is the next most profitable trade? He believes the actual price of an asset is the most accurate reflection of all the factors that influence it. Practical technical analysis, the study of price action over time, is needed to formulate profitable trade ideas. Indeed, with all the market manipulation and high-frequency trading operations currently in play, technical analysis is all that can be relied upon when it comes to formulating future price trends. A trained eye can often spot such manipulative practices, as is the case with HVF traders. Therefore, the HVF methodology is based purely on technical analysis. Francis is passionate about sharing his knowledge and understanding of markets by utilizing his HVF trading methodology. With entertaining anecdotes and the careful guidance of his students, he has already trained a large community of hundreds of traders and helped them transform from complete newbies to seasoned trading professionals. He genuinely loves sharing his knowledge and strategies with others who are committed to finding freedom through trading. Plus, teaching strengthens his trading abilities while helping to build a vibrant community of successful traders.

Welkom bij de Lichter Leven Podcast. Mijn naam is Emma Hafkamp en ik begeleid ondernemers die willen groeien, niet alleen in hun bedrijf, maar ook als persoon. Vandaag wil ik het met je hebben over een misverstand dat ik vaak tegenkom: het idee dat je pas in therapie hoeft te gaan als je een ‘probleem' hebt. Maar wat als ik je vertel dat therapie juist iets is waar je mee kunt starten om te groeien, zonder dat je vastzit in een crisis? Dat therapie juist iets is voor hyper ambitieuze ondernemers?

Hyper-Individualism Since 1968 Has Fractured Civic Communion, Demands Rebuilding of Formative Institutions— Richard Reinsch — Reinsch argues that American politics is fundamentally undermined by a culture of hyper-individualism—a concept emerging around 1968—that divorces citizens from duty, sacrifice, and relational belonging. This cultural fragmentation has destroyed "civic communion" and social cohesion. To reclaim the republic, Reinschcontends citizens must actively resist the breakdown of formative institutions and work to restore loyalty and commitment through religion, education, family, and military service. 1898 PUERTO RICO

Recent OECD data show that around one in ten people across member countries have no one they can rely on in times of need, underscoring the growing urgency of loneliness and social isolation. In today's episode, we explore how one Parisian neighbourhood has decided to push back through the creation of a vibrant community movement that's reshaping daily life. Recorded with Patrick Bernard founder of La République des hypers voisins, and Marion Lagadic, an OECD colleague who is also a member of the collective, this conversation dives into how a small gathering in a local restaurant blossomed into a powerful neighbourhood network grounded in trust, conviviality, and mutual support. From organising a 1 500-person street banquet to creating WhatsApp groups that connect thousands of residents, Patrick and Marion share how intentional social ties can strengthen safety, wellbeing, and even help older neighbours remain in their homes. Hosted by Amal Chevreau, Head of the Social Economy and Social Innovation Unit at the OECD, this episode also highlights the growing evidence on why community relationships matter, revealing how local initiatives can influence quality of life, reinforce social cohesion, and inspire new approaches to public policy. **** To learn more, visit the OECD's Social economy and social innovation webpage. https://www.oecd.org/en/topics/sub-issues/social-economy-and-social-innovation.html Follow the great work of La République des Hyper Voisins on Facebook and Instagram. https://www.facebook.com/hypervoisins/?locale=fr_FR https://www.instagram.com/hypervoisins/?hl=en To learn more about the OECD, our global reach, and how to join us, go to www.oecd.org/about/ To keep up with latest at the OECD, visit www.oecd.org/ Get the latest OECD content delivered directly to your inbox!

Should You Take The Bible Literally? Q: I have a friend who has recently grown in their Christian faith, and part of that growth has been a new belief and interest in the Bible. However, this has led them to taking the scripture so literally that they now strongly believe that the earth is flat.  They cite Isaiah 11:12– the four corners of the earth. Psalm 104:5– being set on immovable “foundations” (it will not totter). And Genesis 1:6–8– having a solid firmament. The core of their argument: “If Scripture is God's Word and perfect, why reinterpret it to fit modern science? Shouldn't we interpret science through the Bible—not the Bible through science?” Summary What happens when someone reads the Bible too literally? In this episode, Dr. E responds to a listener's question about a friend who believes the earth is flat—because “the Bible says so.” Dr. E unpacks why context matters in interpretation, using hermeneutics—the grammatical, historical, literal, and theological principles that guide faithful reading. While Scripture is perfect and true, hyper-literalism can distort its meaning when genre, audience, or idiom are ignored.  Dr. E explains that phrases like “the four corners of the earth” or “the eyes of the Lord” are poetic or symbolic, not scientific. God's Word reveals the truth about Himself and His creation—but it's not meant to be a physics textbook. This episode helps believers discern when to take Scripture literally and when to understand it figuratively, so that we honor both the authority and intent of God's Word. Takeaways Good hermeneutics keeps interpretation faithful, not fanciful. The Bible uses poetic and symbolic language to reveal truth. “Four corners of the earth” reflects language, not geography. Hyper-literalism can miss the heart of what God intends to teach. Scripture is sufficient for faith—not a science textbook. Context, audience, and theology must guide every interpretation.

Why it stands out:It blurs the line between advertising and entertainment, leaning into narrative, character and emotion rather than straightforward product-first messaging.It leverages star power (Knightley) plus comedic contrast (Wilkinson) to create “pop” and shareability.It uses the insight that food & shared meals = emotional currency in rom-coms (and by extension, in festive retail ads) — the brief treats the supermarket not just as backdrop but as the catalyst...

In this episode of The Light Inside, we delve into the intricate dynamics of limerence and its connection to attachment trauma. Joined by licensed psychotherapist Leah Marrone, author of Serial Fixer: Breaking Free of the Habit of Solving Other People's Problems, we explore how unresolved attachment imprints shape our behaviors and relationships.Limerence, often mistaken for intense longing, is revealed as a response to old wounds, manifesting as hypervigilance, overfunctioning, and a compulsive need to fix or rescue others. These patterns, while appearing as care, often mask deeper fears of abandonment and a struggle for self-worth.Leah shares insights on how early attachment experiences condition us to regulate anxiety by overcommitting to others' needs, often at the expense of our own well-being. We discuss the importance of self-awareness, setting boundaries, and the power of validation in creating healthy, balanced relationships.Throughout the conversation, we emphasize the need for practitioners and caregivers to recognize their own patterns of overfunctioning and to cultivate self-trust and resilience. By doing so, we can better support others without falling into the trap of serial fixing.Tune in to learn how to navigate these complex dynamics and foster genuine connections that allow for mutual growth and healing."Serial Fixer: Breaking Free of The Habit of Solving Other People's Problems"Timestamps:00:00:00 - Introduction to Limerence and Attachment Trauma00:01:15 - Mint Mobile Advertisement00:02:19 - Limerence and Attachment Patterns00:03:04 - Introduction of Guest: Leah Marrone00:03:42 - Childhood Conditioning and Over-committing00:06:02 - Hyper-responsibility and Nervous System Safety00:08:10 - Emotional Suppression and Connection00:10:39 - Threat and Safety in Emotional Responses00:12:48 - Recognizing Somatic Cues00:15:02 - Differentiating Roles in Relationships00:18:09 - Supporting vs. Solving in Therapy00:21:03 - Invisible Labor and Emotional Interactions00:24:01 - Urgency and Shame in Fixing Behavior00:27:04 - Effective Listening and Present Moment Awareness00:30:19 - Building Resilience and Self-trust00:33:04 - Vulnerability in Guiding Conversations00:36:09 - Holding Space and Managing Tension00:38:46 - Monitoring Unconscious Over-resourcing00:41:15 - Social Stigma and Mental Health00:43:57 - Self-martyrdom in Caregiving Roles00:45:36 - Personal Reflection on Fixing Behavior—CreditsFeatured Guest: Leah MaroneHost: Jeffrey BeseckerExecutive Program Director: Anna GetzProduction Team: Aloft Media GroupMusic: Courtesy of Aloft Media GroupConnect with host Jeffrey Besecker on LinkedIn.Music by Aloft Meade and Jeffrey Besecker“Anxiety Effect” by Aloft Media“Falling Down”  written by Aloft Media“Wanting and Waiting” by Aloft Media

Personalization, especially when powered by AI, helps match customers with products, recommendations, or solutions that really fit them.   AI can deliver hyper-personalized experiences that keep people engaged and coming back. But, businesses need to remember that personalization that feels authentic and respectful is what really wins customers over.  Customers prefer when companies are transparent, especially about processes that impact their experiences. Modern customers can easily spot fake or insincere messages. Being authentic means communicating honestly and being open about how technology, like AI, is being used to serve them.   Your AI is only as good as your data. If the information going into the system is wrong or messy, the results might mislead both the company and the customer! Good data leads to smart decisions and better customer outcomes.  Whenever there's a major technological change, there's always concern about job losses. While AI can take over some tasks that used to require humans, it also creates new work opportunities. New jobs and skills will be in demand, especially in areas that support or expand what AI can do.   The future of work is about adapting, learning, and growing alongside technology, not competing against it.  Plus, Shep and Tifenn discuss use cases and opportunities for AI to improve the customer experience. Tune in!  Quotes:   "The goal of AI is to remove fiction and deliver delightful, seamless, and outcome-driven experiences for their customers."  "Hyper-personalization is personalization at scale. The more in touch we are with our customers, the more likely we are to drive conversions."  "AI is only as good as your data. If you have the wrong data, then you will have the wrong output. It is going to mislead you. More importantly, it will mislead your customers."  "Embrace what's next. We are going to see significant evolution in the world of AI. Don't be afraid to experiment and test."    About:    Tifenn Dano Kwan is the Chief Marketing Officer at Amplitude.

A. THE FILIBUSTER AND CONTINUING RESOLUTIONS Guest: Professor Richard Epstein Professor Epstein discusses the filibuster's purpose: slowing down legislation to improve deliberation and mitigate hyper-partisanship. However, he argues its use against continuing resolutions is illegitimate, leading to "horrendous dislocation." He proposes changing the Senate rule to forbid filibusters on continuing resolutions, ensuring essential government functions are not held hostage for collateral political gain and maintaining fiscal continuity.

The Superhero Show #607Cadillacs and Dinosaurs: SiegeThe Superhero Show: Cadillacs and Dinosaurs — “Siege” (Episode 1.04)This week on The Superhero Show, the hosts rev their engines and dive into episode 1.04, “Siege,” of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. In this fierce chapter, Jack Tenrec and his team face a full-scale assault on Jack's Garage. As the poachers tighten their grip and alliances fracture, the danger hits close to home.A Calm ShatteredJack patrols the jungle, tracking poacher brothers Hammer, Vice and Wrench as they hunt rare tri-colour jumbucks for the black market. The hosts relish the tension when Jack upends their skirmish with a rifle blast, sets off their bikes and forces them on foot back to their camp. This moment of calm destroys the poachers' bravado and signals a shift in power.Meanwhile, Hannah Dundee arrives at Jack's Garage with a stowaway in tow—Mikla, a former poacher claiming to escape a gang life. It's here the episode pivots. Mikla's sudden appearance coincides with an ominous attack, and the seamless transition from suspicion to chaos keeps the hosts on edge. They probe her motives and the uneasy trust between Jack and his reluctant ally.The Siege UnfoldsAs the Garage comes under siege, Jack, Hannah, Kirgo and Mikla reel from multiple threats: poachers scaling walls, lava launchers malfunctioning, and Hermes the allosauric guardian messing up valves in the worst possible moment. The hosts focus sharply on this sequence, where Jack suits up in an armored lava-clearance rig and descends under volcanic pressure to save the day. They highlight how the setting itself becomes a weapon.With the Garage moat bypassed, the poachers launch grenades and take hostages. Jack and Hannah are forced to surrender—only to fight back in a blaze of molten lava, mammoth-sized creature chaos and cunning teamwork. The hosts emphasize how the action delivers both spectacle and stakes, proving this isn't just another kid's cartoon.Loyalties TestedAs the dust settles, Mikla reveals essential intel: the first strike was only a test and a bigger assault looms from “higher ground.” Hannah nurses doubts, but Jack blames no one. In this quieter moment, the hosts explore the show's deeper message: in a world rebuilt, the line between predator and protector is foggy. Earth's survivors must choose not just who to fight—but how.Final Thoughts: Siege Raises the Stakes“Siege” stands out as a standout episode of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, blending pulpy action with emotional undertones and wild set-pieces. The hosts conclude that this episode doesn't just show Jack defending his home—it shows him defining it. Hyper-action, moral challenge and high-voltage thrills collide in a garage under fire and a hero against impossible odds.Whether you're here for dinosaurs, Cadillacs, or the human fight for balance, The Superhero Show invites you along for the ride.

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan Rittenhouse and Cameron McAllister explore whether culture has truly reached “peak trans” — or if the real issue runs much deeper. Through a thoughtful and theological lens, they examine the rise and supposed decline of gender identity politics, uncovering how the modern obsession with self-definition and hyper-individualism reflects a broader spiritual crisis in Western culture. Nathan and Cameron discuss how this cultural moment exposes our longing for meaning, community, and truth, and why followers of Jesus must think beyond headlines to engage with deep cultural currents shaping our world.

Why your success, control, and mental load are killing polarity (and what to do about it) || In this episode, Monica unpacks the root causes of burnout in hyper-successful women—not just the exhaustion, but the nervous system patterns that drive it. She unpacks how chronic over-achieving, mental load, and a refusal to ask for help become blocks that impact your health, your business, and your relationship.  From nervous system dysregulation to running the entire household while still expecting him to lead, this conversation exposes what's actually keeping you stuck in your masculine, and why your current version of “success” might be the very thing disconnecting you from your feminine, your man, and your peace. More inside the episode:

Hyper-Personalization is taking over the online experience. How does this impact children now and further into the future? It's a question we must consider right now.

When everything becomes “super spiritual,” we can lose sight of common sense, authentic faith, and the real-world application of God's Word. This honest discussion challenges us to ground our spirituality in truth, not in showmanship or exaggeration.

Every October 31st, kids go wild - costumes, sugar, excitement - but what if that same energy is quietly shaping ADHD diagnoses? In this Doctor’s Desk episode, Justin and Kylie unpack a fascinating new study showing a 14% spike in ADHD diagnoses on Halloween day. They explore what this says about subjectivity in diagnosis, the risks of overlabelling kids, and how our environments - not just our children - might need rethinking. KEY POINTS: A new Harvard study found ADHD diagnoses rise 14% on Halloween compared to surrounding days. ADHD remains a subjective diagnosis — there’s no blood test or scan to confirm it. Why environment and maturity often explain behaviours mistaken for “disorder.” The real risks of misdiagnosis — medication, labelling, and self-perception. Why it’s time to look at what’s happening around kids, not just within them. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: “There isn’t anything wrong with her — she just doesn’t fit the mould of what we consider normal.” RESOURCES MENTIONED: Study: Halloween, ADHD, and Subjectivity in Medical Diagnosis (National Bureau of Economic Research) Searching for Normal by Sami Timimi The Parenting Revolution by Justin Coulson ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Before seeking a diagnosis, consider context — sleep, stress, diet, and school environment. Avoid rushing to label; focus on understanding and supporting your child’s unique needs. Ask questions — about treatment pathways, environment, and alternative perspectives. Create calmer spaces where kids can regulate, play, and thrive. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Push-Pull of ADHD and Autism: Stretching Without Breaking In this candid conversation, Patricia Young (she/her) and B Lourenco (she/her) dive deep into the realities of living with ADHD, autism, and other forms of neurodivergence. They explore the push-pull between self-accommodation and stretching ourselves, how shame and internalized ableism impact daily life, and what it means to create realistic support systems at home, in relationships, and in the workplace. Expect raw honesty, relatable stories, and practical insights for navigating neurodivergent life. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE · The ongoing "driver's seat battle" between ADHD and autism. · The push-pull between making accommodations and stretching ourselves beyond comfort. · Parenting a neurodivergent young adult while balancing when to push and when to allow rest. · Task initiation struggles — from making banana bread to cooking meals. · Body doubling as a powerful tool to reduce shame and spark motivation. · The "crisper/rotter" effect — guilt over wasted food and executive dysfunction. · Financial and practical impacts of task initiation challenges. · How privilege plays into having options like prepared or frozen meals when cooking feels impossible. · The cost of pushing through fatigue and flares with conditions like POTS and MCAS. · "Future me" thinking — and the difficulties neurodivergent folks have with impermanence. · Shame as the "ice cream scoop" on top of disability struggles. · Why diagnosis matters: language helps reduce shame and prevent repeating harmful patterns. · How powerlessness, and an attempt to gain autonomy can show up in small, reactive choices (like leaving a Facebook group). · Sensory sensitivities in family systems — how lack of accommodations can lead to dysfunction. · Practical accommodations for noise-sensitive parents and their kids. · Workplace challenges: 40-hour weeks, return-to-office pressures, and capitalism's rigidity. · Creative problem-solving in disabled and neurodivergent communities. · The deep fear of being uncared for and alone if we can't keep up. · Hyper-independence and isolation in the ADHD/autistic community. · Internalized ableism and the "shoulds" that drive shame and burnout. · Neurodivergence as a dynamic disability — what's possible one day isn't always possible the next. · Radical acceptance as a path toward reducing judgment and finding relief. SOUND BITES · "It begs the question of, okay, is that okay? Can we just say that's how it is?" – B Lourenco · "Instead of putting our energy into addressing the gap, folks will take the great divide and then put a scoop of shame on top of it." – B Lourenco · "All the terrible things that we tell ourselves… if I didn't have that awareness, I'd just keep repeating these patterns." – Patricia Young · "In order to truly accommodate ourselves, we have to acknowledge that it's as hard as it is and that we're as disabled as we are." – B Lourenco · "Sometimes I have to ask myself, what if what you're going through is exactly where you need to be?" – Patricia Young SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are. TOPICS COVERED (please adjust for addition of introduction) 00:00 Navigating Neurodivergence: A Personal Journey 02:59 Understanding Accommodations: Balancing Needs and Expectations 05:48 The Push-Pull of Task Initiation and Self-Care 08:33 Shame and Support: The Role of Community 11:35 The Impact of Environment on Neurodivergent Individuals 14:26 Workplace Challenges: The Struggle for Accommodations 17:16 Building Bridges: Community and Creative Solutions 20:00 Radical Acceptance: Embracing Our Reality 22:48 The Journey of Self-Discovery and Identity 25:42 The Dynamic Nature of Neurodivergence 29:02 Finding Joy in the Present Moment 31:47 The Bigger Picture: Building a Better Future 34:47 Conclusion: Resources and Future Endeavors PODCAST HOST Patricia Young (she/her) was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller. Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion. She created the podcasts Unapologetically Sensitive and Unapologetically AuDHD to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges. Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent. Topics covered include: self-care, self-compassion, boundaries, perfectionism, mindfulness, communication, and creating a lifestyle that honors you Patricia's website, podcast episodes and more: www.unapologeticallysensitive.com PODCAST GUEST B Lourenco, MA, LMHC (she/her) is a licensed mental health counselor, educator, advocate, and activist. B has been working in community support for nearly 20 years and is committed to social change on all system levels. Seeing mental health advocacy as a way to serve the community, she earned a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology, with a Systems Emphasis, in 2015 and began her private practice, B Lourenco Therapy in 2017. B has also worked in the public school system, providing support to students with behavioral issues that made attending school challenging for them. Highly trained in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), B became a district-wide expert in supporting neurodivergent students. It was during this work that she began to be critical of the medical models of support for neurodivergence, including ABA. Making the shift from the medical to the Neurodiversity-affirming model has allowed her to finally identify her own neurodivergence, including Autism and ADHD. Combining her lived experience of neurodivergence, along with years of anti-oppression work, B is passionate about helping others untangle themselves from harmful practices and align themselves with those that instead support marginalized communities. In addition to CE events for healthcare providers, she has also been a speaker on panels and podcasts, and also facilitates community based workshops. https://www.blourencotherapy.com LINKS Cascadia Training: https://cascadia-training.com Imani Barbarin—crutches_and_spice IG https://www.instagram.com/crutches_and_spice/ To write a review in itunes: click on this link https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/unapologetically-sensitive/id1440433481?mt=2 select "listen on Apple Podcasts" chose "open in itunes" choose "ratings and reviews" click to rate the number of starts click "write a review" Website--www.unapologeticallysensitive.com Facebook-- https://www.facebook.com/Unapologetically-Sensitive-2296688923985657/ Closed/Private Facebook group Unapologetically Sensitive-- https://www.facebook.com/groups/2099705880047619/ Instagram-- https://www.instagram.com/unapologeticallysensitive/ Youtube-- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOE6fodj7RBdO3Iw0NrAllg/videos?view_as=subscriber Tik Tok--https://www.tiktok.com/@unapologeticallysensitiv Unapologetically AuDHD Podcast-- https://unapologeticallysensitive.com/unapologeticallyaudhd/ e-mail-- unapologeticallysensitive@gmail.com Show hashtag--#unapologeticallysensitive Music-- Gravel Dance by Andy Robinson www.andyrobinson.com

When Irene Gomez stepped into her role as director at the J Center for Early Learning in El Paso, Texas, she carried what so many new leaders do: hyper-responsibility, people-pleasing, and the pressure to be the “hero” in every situation.In this episode, Irene shares her journey inside the Schools of Excellence coaching program and the transformation that followed—from chasing fires and working late nights, to leading with clarity, boundaries, and trust.You'll hear how a calendar became her leadership lifeline, how gratitude reshaped her staff culture, and how self-trust shifted her from over-functioning into a confident leader who now builds sustainable rhythms for her team and balance for her family.This isn't just a story of better systems. It's a story of reclaiming identity, building trust, and choosing to lead without sacrificing health or home.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why boundaries start with the leader, not with the staffHow shifting from “hero” to CEO changes your school cultureThe role of one-on-one meetings in building trust and career growth for teachersWhy specific gratitude builds safety and resilience in teamsHow leadership growth impacts marriage, parenting, and personal lifeWhy coaching is never “one more thing”—it's the foundation of sustainable leadershipKey InsightsBoundaries are for you first. Without them, you'll always default to rescuing instead of leading.Culture starts with trust. One-on-ones and specific gratitude create safety for real conversations.You can't hustle your way to sustainability. Systems and rhythms—not over-functioning—are what hold schools together.Personal growth multiplies. When leaders evolve, staff mirror that same growth in respect, empowerment, and culture.Memorable Quotes“The boundaries weren't just for others—they were for me.” – Irene Gomez“True success is having a strong team that wants to stay forever.” – Irene Gomez“Enough isn't about getting ahead.

This episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosted by Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton, tackles a silent struggle many first responders face: hyper-vigilance that doesn't switch off when the shift ends. On the job, scanning for threats is survival (Amazon Affiliate). But at home, that same mindset can turn into exhaustion, irritability, and disconnection. We explore what hyper-vigilance looks like in everyday family life, why it's so hard to shake, and how to retrain your nervous system so peace doesn't feel like danger. 5 Examples of Hyper-Vigilance at Home Constantly Scanning the Environment Always checking locks, windows, and exits—even in your own living room. Startle Responses to Everyday Sounds Jumping at noises like a slammed door or a child's toy dropping to the floor. Difficulty Relaxing in Public Spaces Choosing seats with a view of exits and never letting your guard down, even at a restaurant. Emotional Distance From Family Remaining “on duty” mode at home makes it hard to fully connect with your spouse or kids. Chronic Restlessness or Insomnia The nervous system stays on alert, robbing you of sleep and recovery. 5 Ways to Combat Hyper-Vigilance Practice Grounding Techniques Use deep breathing, mindfulness, or body scans to bring your nervous system back to calm. Create Safe Home Rituals Intentionally shift from “on duty” to “at home” with habits like changing clothes, showering, or a short walk after work. Communicate With Family About What's Happening Explain why you might seem distracted or tense, so loved ones don't misinterpret your distance. Limit Over-Stimulation at Home Turn off constant news feeds or radio chatter that keep your mind in a state of alert. Seek Professional Support When Needed Therapy, peer groups, or chaplains trained in responder culture can help you reset patterns that feel automatic.
