Financial freedom starts with removing the emotional barriers around money. Debt management isn't failure — it's strategy. Knowing your options can save you thousands in interest and fees. Financial health takes time. Getting out of debt is a process, not an overnight success story. Notable Quotes “You didn't get into debt overnight — you're not going to get out of it overnight.” “Hope is not a financial plan.” “Money doesn't define your worth — but understanding it can define your future.” Connect with Thomas Nitzsche: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomaspnitzsche Learn more about your ad choices.

Election night was not the only wipeout of Trump and MAGA, as his DOJ suffered an epic losing streak just this week alone of 8 different losses in 7 different courts.  Michael Popok breaks down the emergency restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, permanent injunctions, jury verdicts, and compel orders issued from Sea to Shining Sea, or at least from Rhode Island to Oregon, with stops in Virginia, DC, South Carolina, Illinois and Oregon.

Few Democratic officials have been more outspoken in opposition to the Trump Administration than J. B. Pritzker, the governor of Illinois. He seems almost to relish antagonizing Trump, who has suggested Pritzker should be in jail. Meanwhile, ICE and Border Patrol have targeted Chicago, and elsewhere in Illinois, with immigration sweeps more aggressive than what Los Angeles experienced earlier this year; they refused to pause the raids even on Halloween. The President has called Chicago a “hell hole,” but, in Pritzker's view, immigration sweeps do nothing to reduce crime. “He's literally taking F.B.I., D.E.A., and A.T.F.—which we work with all the time—he's taking them out of their departments and moving them over to ICE, and they're not . . .  helping us catch bad guys,” Pritzker says in an interview with the reporter Peter Slevin. “He's creating mayhem on the ground because you know what he wants? He wants troops on the ground in American cities, and the only way he can get that done is by proving that there's some sort of insurrection or revolution or rebellion.” And yet, as Slevin tells David Remnick, a governor's power to resist the federal government depends largely on the courts. Thus far, “the district courts have acted quite favorably toward the plaintiffs in various lawsuits against these actions by the federal government.” New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday.

If you've had bariatric surgery, you already know what it means to commit fully to your health.  But even with your best efforts, bodies adapt, hormones shift, and life adds its own complications. When weight begins to creep back, many people turn to GLP-1 medications for support, and that raises a crucial question: How well do GLP-1s actually work after bariatric surgery?I recently heard from a listener living this exact experience — someone who lost more than 200 pounds after gastric bypass and has now started Zepbound to address weight regain. Her story opens the door to an important conversation about why GLP-1 medications can behave differently in a post-bariatric body, why results may not mirror those of someone without surgical history, and how to redefine success when you've already achieved a significant transformation.ReferencesThe Obesity Guide: Behind the Curtain (Season 1)The Obesity Guide: Behind the Curtain (Season 2) - Includes access to the December 21-Day Challenge with daily coaching, actionable steps, and community support to end your year with momentum.Audio Stamps00:40 - Dr. Rentea shares a heartwarming reunion at the VA, reconnecting with former colleagues and reflecting on how far she's come in her weight loss journey.07:10 - Fan mail question: Does Zepbound (tirzepatide) work the same after gastric bypass surgery, and what weight loss results should you expect?09:11 - Why post-bariatric patients often respond better to GLP-1 medications and become "hyper responders" at lower doses.16:18 - Redefining success: why focusing on your relationship with food and sustainability matters more than hitting a specific weight loss percentage.17:48 - Common post-surgery pitfalls including grazing patterns, excessive step counting, and neglecting body composition tracking.20:42 - Information on the December 21-Day Challenge and upcoming 30/30 program rounds.All of the information on this podcast is for general informational purposes only.

What do you do when you're over 50, comfortable in your career, and suddenly the world turns upside down? Meet Stacy Maly-Rodgers, who spent 20+ years in nonprofit management in St. Louis until COVID gave her the push she needed to tackle her bucket list - and on that list was becoming a pet groomer. Now she's found her calling as the go-to groomer for the dogs others won't touch at Three Tails Parlor and Pantry. In this episode, we are diving into midlife career pivots, working with difficult and anxious dogs, and how sometimes life's biggest disruptions lead to our most fulfilling chapters. You'll hear about:  ✅ Starting over at 50+ - why age can be your greatest asset  ✅ Fear Free certification and less restraint approach  ✅ Reading dog energy and adapting routines - doing what the dog allows, not forcing a checklist!  ✅ Communicating wins to pet parents and how that has changed everything Whether you're considering a midlife career change or looking to improve your approach with challenging dogs, Stacy proves that it's never too late to find your true calling - and that sometimes the most rewarding work requires patience, experience, and the willingness to do things differently. ABOUT STACY MALY-RODGERSLead Groomer & Services Manager at Three Tails Parlor and Pantry Stacy Maly-Rodgers discovered her true calling at age 50+ when she made the bold decision to leave her 20+ year career in nonprofit management and pursue pet grooming - something that had been on her bucket list for years. After COVID gave her the reflection time she needed, she started as a bather at PetSmart and worked her way through their academy program to become a certified groomer. Now serving as Lead Groomer and Services Manager at Three Tails Parlor and Pantry in Collinsville, Illinois, Stacy has found her specialty working with difficult and anxious dogs that other groomers struggle to handle. Her Fear Free certification and patient, low-restraint approach has transformed the grooming experience for dogs who previously required heavy sedation or couldn't be groomed at all. With four dogs at home and a lifelong love of animals, Stacy combines her management experience from her nonprofit career with her natural patience and intuitive understanding of canine behavior. Her approach focuses on building trust with both the dogs and their pet parents, celebrating small wins and progress rather than dwelling on challenges. Stacy's story proves that career changes at any age are possible, and that sometimes life's biggest disruptions lead to our most fulfilling chapters. She brings a unique perspective to the grooming industry, showing that maturity, patience, and life experience can be tremendous assets in working with animals. Transcript Show Notes

On a recent visit to Heartland Lodge in Illinois, I cornered the new-ish owner Tim Duoos, and communications manager Zach Jumps and peppered them with questions about the facility. From how they earned an Orvis endorsement, to maintaining great habitat, we'll get the lowdown from an insider's perspective.

Andrea Samadi reflects on seven years hosting the Neuroscience Meets SEL podcast and celebrates reaching 500,000 downloads. She shares seven strategies—clarifying mission and vision, defining the audience, setting measurable goals, creating systems, staying mission-driven, building partnerships, and building momentum—and eight personal lessons learned, including the power of practice, research, adaptation, and praxis. This episode offers practical, science-backed guidance for anyone looking to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, well-being, and long-term results. On today's episode #377, we cover a break from our interviews, with a celebration episode!  ✔  7 Strategies that took our podcast from 0-500,000 downloads (including clarifying our mission, vision, defining our audience, setting measurable goals, creating systems, staying mission-driven, and building partnerships). ✔ 8 Personal Lessons learned over the past 7 years  (including the power of spaced repetition, research, adaptation and praxis).   Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. For today's EP #377 we will take a break from our interview reviews, and look back over the past 7 years, and 14 Seasons, as we hit an important milestone in the podcasting world, our 500,000th download.  I remember when we hit the 300,000th marker, back in March 2023[i] we reflected back on the lessons learned in our first 4 years of hosting this podcast.  I remember looking at the next milestone of half a million, thinking it was such a distance from where we currently were.  It just took 3 years to get here, and now we have our eye on the next 500,000 downloads, which from here, looks like a lifetime away. As we reflect back over the past 7 years, many of our strategies remain the same as when we first began. Some strategies we did have to change. We reviewed some of these concepts on EP 279[ii] back in March 2023.  As we review what got us here, I think that these strategies can be applied to anything we are doing, with a long-term vision.   7 STRATEGIES WE USED TO HIT THE 500K DOWNLOAD MILESTONE 1. Know Your Mission (What You're Doing) The mission of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning podcast is to bridge the gap between neuroscience research and practical applications in education, business, and personal development. The podcast shares insights, strategies, and best practices to enhance learning, performance, and well-being by integrating neuroscience (which we like to make simple) and connecting it to social and emotional skills (SEL). Our goal is to provide valuable information listeners can apply in their work and personal lives to achieve peak performance and overall self-improvement, with a deeper understanding of how our brain works — something many of us were never taught in school. When the mission is clear, anything outside of this mission — applying neuroscience made simple to our daily lives — wasn't a match. This clarity helps maintain focus and ensures that all efforts align with creating tangible, positive outcomes. It's what keeps us consistent, translating complex scientific insights into actionable practices that lead to meaningful improvements in how we think, learn, and interact. From the very beginning, each guest spoke on a topic aligned with current neuroscience research. Each season was shaped by a framework connecting the six social and emotional learning competencies with foundational brain concepts — what I called Neuroscience 101, based on what I learned while studying with neuroscience researcher Mark Waldman.[iii] That's how our seasons were created. Make This Actionable: Do you have a clearly defined Mission of WHAT you do? 2. Know Your Vision with a Clear Why Your vision is why you do what you do. Once you know what you want to do, ask yourself — do you know why? This is probably the number one question I get asked when people hear that I host a podcast. They'll say, “Why? What made you decide to do this? Why did you launch a podcast?” It's a long story (I'll keep it short). When I purchased a website in January 2019, it came with a podcasting theme. The developer told me I could delete it, but I was already interviewing people for my work in schools — I just wasn't releasing that content publicly. A few months later, I wanted to present these ideas at a conference, but I was told I'd have to pay to present. That felt wrong — why pay to share the work I'd spent years developing? So, I decided instead to launch the podcast in June 2019. From the beginning, the podcast was meant to be a give-back — a way for anyone to learn these ideas without paying for access. To this day, it remains ad-free for that reason. My friend and long-time supporter, Greg Wolcott (Assistant Superintendent from Chicago, Illinois, Episode 7[iv]), reminded me how far the show has reached — now in over 190 countries — compared to the 50–100 people who might have attended that conference I wanted to present at. I truly believe that what's meant to happen will happen. As my dad would say in his Scottish accent: “What's for you, won't go by you.” So, with your vision, ask yourself: Do you know why you are doing what you do? I often go back to Part 6[v] of our Think and Grow Rich book study, where I dedicated an episode to my mentor, Bob Proctor. He always reminded us that our mission — whatever we want to achieve — becomes possible only once we first of all believe it's possible. He'd say: “What story do you want to tell? What scenes do you want to shoot? How do you want the movie to end? Be the director of your life.” Once you can clearly see something on the screen of your mind, (Your Mission) the next step is to bring that vision into reality. (Your Vision). That's exactly how this podcast began — with a clear mission and vision that led to action. Make This Actionable: Do you have a clearly written VISION of why you do what you do? 3. Clarify Your “What” and “Who” After defining your why and what you envision, identify: What exactly you're creating (e.g., “a neuroscience and education podcast”). Who it's for — your specific audience or community. I wanted our audience to reach outside of schools, into sports and the modern workplace. I remember a few people telling me to stick to one audience, and I just couldn't do it. I had a broader vision. Ask yourself: Who will benefit most from my message? What do they struggle with, and how can my work help?

I had the great pleasure of meeting Jennifer Estin when I signed at the terrific online classes for the Annoyance, Improv Fiend! https://improvfiend.com We chatted about her childhood and how her mother created games that inspired her to pursue acting.

Service from Christian Bible Church in Cissna Park, Illinois.Pastor: Steve Hall Three Ways of a Wise Woman1) Give the leadership to her husband2) Guide and guard her loved ones3) Graces herself with humility and faithfulness

The world is broken, and there is no way around that. But God has always desired to walk with His creation. He made a new thing at the beginning of all things in Genesis, and in Revelation He declares again that He is making all things new. In this sermon, Pastor Linder discusses what it looks like for us to return to the innocence of Eden and to walk once more with our Creator.

Dive into the heart of America's unraveling mysteries in this explosive episode, where investigative journalism meets unfiltered truth. We kick off with a jaw-dropping revelation from Blaze Media's Steve Baker and Joseph Hanneman, who claim to have cracked the January 6 pipe bomber case using cutting-edge forensic gait analysis—pinning it on a high-level government insider with a stunning 94% match. A federal source's reaction? "Holy F— she's one of us!" But that's just the opener: witness arrests outside an ICE detention center in Illinois, Elon Musk's chilling prophecy that AI will soon rule humanity (and we'd better make it "friendly"), investigators uncovering 100 blank ballots in a Sacramento homeless encampment, and Mel Gibson's raw take on the Church's moral decay.Shift gears into Fun Friday mode as we roast the absurdities of power gone wrong. Discover how illegal aliens are infiltrating U.S. elections—from Minnesota's Democrat State Rep. Kaohly Vang Her, who admitted her status yet clinched the St. Paul mayorship, to Kansas Mayor Jose Ceballos, a non-citizen voting in federal races since 2022. Then, get inspired by a no-holds-barred Pennsylvania man dismantling his local township commission with fiery precision, setting the ultimate blueprint for citizen pushback against bureaucratic overreach. We spotlight New Hampshire's transgender Rep. Stacie Laughton's guilty plea on child exploitation charges, complete with a campaign photo alongside supporters, highlighting the hypocrisy in progressive ranks.Wrap up with our Liberal Block and Irony Overload, where the left's meltdowns take center stage: a convert to Islam whining about "true oppression," a pastor's bizarre endorsement, and a gun-control rant dripping with ignorance. Laugh at the EU President's protest hypocrisy as a demonstrator gets hauled away mid-speech on "freedom," swastika vandalism in New York tied to an unlikely suspect, and a brutal softball collision that ends a corporate game like the World Series. This episode isn't just commentary—it's a wake-up call to the chaos, corruption, and comedy in today's America. Tune in for the laughs, the outrage, and the unvarnished facts that demand action.

Before he killed Sonya Massey, Deputy Sean Grayson was already a walking liability — fired from department after department, discharged from the Army for misconduct, arrested for DUI, and still somehow cleared to wear a badge in Illinois. In this powerful conversation, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels and attorney Bob Motta expose how that happened — and why it keeps happening. From failed background checks to lax hiring standards, the system designed to protect the public instead recycles problem officers. The result: tragedy after tragedy. Grayson's conviction for second-degree murder feels hollow when the larger machine that put him in that kitchen still runs unchecked. Tony and Bob unpack the loopholes, the union protections, and the culture of silence that let Grayson slip through every filter. They also explore Illinois' new “Sonya's Law,” the state's attempt to patch the holes after it was too late — and whether any of it will stop the next preventable death. Hidden Killers — where we hold the system accountable, one case at a time. #SonyaMassey #SeanGrayson #PoliceReform #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #BobMotta #TrueCrime #JusticeForSonya #SystemicFailure #LawEnforcement #Accountability #Podcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Illinois basketball scored another emphatic win, this time 113-70 over Florida Gulf Coast. Mike Carpenter reacts during the second half as the Illini offense steals the show. Kylan Boswell (31 points, 10 rebounds) and David Mirkovic (17 points, 11 rebounds) each nab double-doubles, while Keaton Wagler drops 22. While Tomislav Ivisic was out for the night, his brother Zvonimir nearly had a triple-double (16 points, 9 rebounds, 7 blocks). Next up: a huge matchup against Texas Tech at the State Farm Center.

What were residents of Murphysburo, Illinois witnessing during a spate of sightings of an unknown creature, in the early-mid 1970s?  Police reports indicate it was something of a large stature that walked on two feet, with a shrill scream that would send shivers down ones spine...The variety of witnesses all share common details in their descriptions of this THING.  Was it what has come to be known as "The Big Muddy Monster?"  #MuddyMonster #BigMuddyMonster #BigMuddy #Bigfoot #Sasquatch #CaseFiles 

Few Democratic officials have been more outspoken in opposition to the Trump Administration than J. B. Pritzker, the governor of Illinois. He seems almost to relish antagonizing Trump, who has suggested Pritzker should be in jail. Meanwhile, ICE and Border Patrol have targeted Chicago, and elsewhere in Illinois, with immigration sweeps more aggressive than what Los Angeles experienced earlier this year; they refused to pause the raids even on Halloween. The President has called Chicago a “hell hole,” but, in Pritzker's view, immigration sweeps do nothing to reduce crime. “He's literally taking F.B.I., D.E.A., and A.T.F.—which we work with all the time—he's taking them out of their departments and moving them over to ICE, and they're not . . .  helping us catch bad guys,” Pritzker says in an interview with the reporter Peter Slevin. “He's creating mayhem on the ground because you know what he wants? He wants troops on the ground in American cities, and the only way he can get that done is by proving that there's some sort of insurrection or revolution or rebellion.” And yet, as Slevin tells David Remnick, a governor's power to resist the federal government depends largely on the courts. Thus far, “the district courts have acted quite favorably toward the plaintiffs in various lawsuits against these actions by the federal government.”New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday. Join host David Remnick as he discusses the latest in politics, news, and current events in conversation with political leaders, newsmakers, innovators, New Yorker staff writers, authors, actors, and musicians.

It started long before she was born — back when her mother's side dabbled in things they shouldn't have. Black magic. Witchcraft. Doors opened, never shut. Years later, she and her siblings were still dealing with it: toys moving on their own, shadows in the house, and a woman in white only her mom could see. Then they moved to Illinois. Behind the house sat an old, off-limits chicken coop. One summer night, camping in the yard, she looked up and saw a little boy staring at them from the coop window. No one else saw him. The next day, the kids snuck inside anyway — found old children's drawings, a strange box under the floorboards… and shotgun shells in a home where nobody owned a gun. Minutes later, she looked down and her leg was covered in blood — but there was no cut. Later, she heard the rumor: a boy who lived there went missing and was never found. Some hauntings don't fade — they follow the bloodline.  #RealGhostStory #FamilyHaunting #GenerationalParanormal #GirlInWhite #HauntedFarmhouse #MissingChildSpirit #OccultBackfire #ParanormalKids #CreepyChickenCoop #Paranormal #GhostStories Love real ghost stories?

This week, we're celebrating our first post-Blue Tsunami show! Democrats won across the board on Tuesday, and we're sleeping a little better. To quote Churchill: "This is not the end, but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."Happy 21st blogiversary to the amazing Fran Blue Gal!Zohran Mamdani won NYC mayor with over 50% of the vote. And yet the Wall Street Journal immediately declared, "Election Wins Won't Ease Democratic Party's Troubles." And hoo boy Tucker Carlson just released a friendly interview with Holocaust-denying, Hitler-praising white nationalist Nick Fuentes. Why would THIS tear the Republican party apart?  It's The Heritage Foundation versus Ted Cruz, Mitch McConnell, Ben Shapiro, and Mark Levin?  Everyone in these circles is complaining about "thought police"—so much for the tolerant Right!Here's the sublime comedy: Never Trumpers who swore they never knew their party was full of bigots are now telling Ben Shapiro exactly what we told them. "You lying assholes! You built this thing."High comedy, indeed.Links for this episode: Driftglass and Blue Gal on the Bob Cesca Show https://www.bobcesca.com/the-bob-cesca-interview-driftglass-and-blue-gal-11-5-25/ Driftglass on the Nicole Sandler Show  https://nicolesandler.com/11-5-25/ Driftglass on the BradCast (with Brad Friedman, Digby, and Desi Doyen) https://bradblog.com/?p=15554 Not safe for work.

Thirty-one-year-old Allison Feldman was found dead in her Scottsdale, Arizona home in 2015. Ten years later, after a slew of delays over DNA, a man is finally on trial for her murder. In Illinois, a man and his parents were convicted of murdering his ex-wife in the ‘90s. He says new DNA evidence could exonerate the whole family. Plus, a new documentary looks for answers in the 2014 case of missing 8-year-old Relisha Rudd.  Find out more about the cases covered each week here: www.datelinetruecrimeweekly.com   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Late last month, President Trump announced that the United States would be restarting nuclear weapons tests after a break of over 30 years. We've since learned that they won't be the explosive kind of tests, but this sent us down a rabbit hole — where we found a story about dinosaurs, Carl Sagan, and nuclear war. Because there was a moment in the not-so-distant past when we learned what drove the dinosaurs extinct... and that discovery, made during the Cold War, may have helped save humans from the same fate.
