In today's episode, we're talking about recovery in real life — not the quiet, perfectly planned version, but the messy, busy, full one. The one with work deadlines, family stuff, social plans, tired days, and not enough hours in the day.We'll talk about how eating disorder recovery can still be possible when your schedule feels packed, why waiting for the perfect time often keeps you stuck, and how to prioritise nourishment and care without doing it perfectly.This is about letting recovery fit into your life, not the other way around. Small steps. Imperfect days. And choosing yourself even when it feels inconvenient. You're allowed to recover while life keeps happening.Let me know your thoughts!

In this episode of Shrink for the Shy Guy, Dr. Aziz dives deep into one of the sneakiest traps that keep us stuck: deferring decisions. Whether it's fear of making the wrong choice, wanting more clarity, or simply waiting for the “perfect time,” delaying decisions comes at a steep cost—and it's often invisible until it's too late. Dr. Aziz unpacks how avoiding decisions drains your confidence, erodes momentum, and reinforces the illusion that you're not ready or capable. He shares a radically freeing mindset shift that allows you to make powerful choices now, even if you're scared, uncertain, or don't feel 100% “ready.”

Welcome back to Dial Emma! Each week, I'll be answering your dilemmas with honesty, empathy, and a few therapeutic truth bombs to help you make sense of life's stickiest moments. If you've ever wished you had a therapist in your back pocket, Dial Emma is here to help.This week, I'm joined by Ali Isaac, author of Imperfect Bodies (available to pre-order now), a powerful memoir that explores motherhood, identity and the female body through the lens of Ali's experiences raising her daughter, Carys, who lives with a rare genetic disorder.Our dilemma comes from a mother of a 15-year-old daughter with cystic fibrosis, who feels overwhelmed with guilt and fear around making the transition from managing her daughter's health needs as a child, to allowing her more independence as a teenager.We talk about the challenges of parenting a child with a long-term health condition, the responsibility and guilt that often comes with it, and the importance of maintaining a strong parent-child bond. Ali also reflects on the power of open communication and finding personal fulfilment outside of caregiving, sharing her own journey of self-discovery through education and writing.If you have a dilemma for Emma, please fill out this form. ---Dial Emma is hosted by Emma Reed Turrell, produced by Lauren Brook.---Social media:Emma Reed Turrell @emmareedturrellDial Emma @dialemmapodcastEmail: contact@dial-emma.uk

In this episode we'll be looking at the differences Imperfect and Simple Past have in Greek. We'll explain how and when we use them in everyday Greek conversations. Ε: Άντε πού είσαι; Σε έπαιρνα το σαββατοκύριακο αλλά δεν απαντούσες. /Hey, where have you been? I was calling you over the weekend but you weren't answering.D: Ναι, συγγνώμη, ήμουν έξω όλη μέρα το Σάββατο. Το πρωί έτρεχα για δουλειές και μετά βρέθηκα με κάτι φίλους και τελικά γύρισα αργά το βράδυ. /Yeah, sorry, I was out all day on Saturday. In the morning I was running errands, then I met up with some friends, and I ended up getting back late at night.E: Α, γι' αυτό. Πώς πέρασες; /Ah, that's why. How was it?D: Τέλεια! Είχα καιρό να βγω και το ευχαριστήθηκα! Εσύ τι έκανες το Σαββατοκύριακο; / Great! I hadn't gone out in a while and I really enjoyed it! What did you do over the weekend?E: Εγώ έκατσα σπίτι το Σάββατο, γιατί ήμουν πολύ κουρασμένη από όλη την εβδομάδα. Ε, το πρωί διάβασα λίγο, το μεσημέρι μαγείρεψα και μετά έβλεπα σειρές. Αλλά την Κυριακή το πρωί πρόλαβα και πήγα για έναν καφέ πριν βρέξει. /I stayed home on Saturday because I was very tired from the whole week. In the morning I read a bit, at noon I cooked, and then I watched series. But on Sunday morning I managed to go out for a coffee before it rained.D: Μα χαρά! Κι εγώ αρχικά σκεφτόμουν να μείνω μέσα, αλλά άλλαξα γνώμη. /Nice! I was initially thinking of staying in too, but I changed my mind. E: Καλά έκανες! Την Κυριακή πήγες πουθενά; /You did well! Did you go anywhere on Sunday?D: Όχι, επειδή έβρεχε αλλά ήθελα να χαλαρώσω κιόλας  λίγο πριν αρχίσει η εβδομάδα. / No, because it was raining, and I also wanted to relax a bit before the week started.E: Σωστά. Δούλευες σήμερα; /Right. Were you working today?D: Ναι, δούλευα το πρωί και γύρισα πριν λίγο σπίτι./Yes, I was working in the morning and got home a little while ago.E: Ωραία, γιατί σκεφτόμουν να βρισκόμασταν αφού δεν ειδωθήκαμε μέσα στο ΣΚ. /Great, because I was thinking we could meet since we didn't see each other over the weekend.D: Καλή ιδέα! Έναν απογευματινό καφέ θα τον ήθελα! /Good idea! I'd love an afternoon coffee!E: Τέλεια,  θα περάσω να σε πάρω στις 6. Είναι καλά; /Perfect, I'll come by to pick you up at 6.

Send us a textReady rarely arrives on schedule. We talk about why waiting for perfect kills momentum and how to replace it with simple, repeatable steps that actually move your goals forward. Imperfect action isn't about being careless—it's about starting small, learning fast, and stacking wins until progress becomes your default.We break down the core mindset shift that separates stalled plans from steady motion: perfectionism protects your ego but starves your outcomes. Using a child learning to walk as a clear model, we show how quick attempts and visible feedback build skill faster than overthinking ever could. You'll hear practical ways to reframe failure as data, not verdict, so you can iterate without the drag of fear or shame. Then we bring it down to earth with the two-minute rule—micro-actions like reading one page or lacing your gym shoes—that lower resistance and create daily traction.By the end, you'll have a simple framework to choose one small action, anchor it to your routine, and protect momentum even on busy days. Expect clear prompts, relatable examples, and a reminder that nobody regrets the action they took—only the action they delayed. If this helped you move, tap follow, share it with a friend who's stuck on “perfect,” and leave a quick review to tell us your two-minute habit.

The hour kicks off with Marc and guests firmly defending ICE officers involved in recent shootings during law enforcement operations, emphasizing self-defense and the legal protections federal officers have under the supremacy clause. Greg Jarrett, legal analyst, explains the concepts of self-defense and “imperfect self-defense,” and highlights how state officials like Tim Walz and the Minneapolis mayor lack authority over federal officers. The discussion also critiques sanctuary city policies, the Trump administration's enforcement of immigration laws, and the media's portrayal of these incidents, setting the stage for a deeper dive with local law enforcement perspectives.

Ed Oyama used to hate being on camera. Twenty years ago, he had a blast editing videos for his church's college group - but he couldn't talk on camera to save his life! But one day he tried something different. He stopped chasing perfection and simply showed up - walking and talking with his phone, sharing what he knew. And in just over a year, he 4x'd his LinkedIn following, 60x'd his YouTube audience, booked 40+ calls and closed over $10k in new business… all by making simple videos. Now, Ed teaches others to do the same in his Small Business Video School, where in the last two months students have made over 314 videos and started booking in leads and clients!

Along the way, they emphasize using credit cards responsibly, avoiding debt, and leveraging tools like TripIt to manage complex itineraries while creating meaningful, experience-driven travel.Key Highlights:DeAndre's entry into points and miles: His journey began through client questions as a financial advisor, leading to deep research into credit cards and transfer partners.Taryn's role in the strategy: She embraced points early and became instrumental in portals, trip planning, and organization.Responsible use of credit cards: Points strategies only work when spending mirrors cash and interest is avoided.Resetting financial habits: Stepping away from credit cards can be necessary to rebuild discipline before optimizing rewards.Transfer partners matter: Flexible points unlock significantly more value than simple cash-back redemptions.Maldives redemption breakdown: Strategic routing and patience made a high-end trip possible on points.Park Hyatt Maldives value: 35,000 points per night delivered outsized luxury compared to typical cash rates.Imperfect itineraries are normal: Award travel often requires creative routing and flexibility.Eco-focused experiences add depth: Local tours in Tulum created more meaningful travel than resort excursions.Trip organization is critical: Tools like TripIt simplify complex, multi-country travel planning.Resources:Book a Free 30 minute points & miles consultationStart here to learn how to unlock nearly free travelSign up for our newsletter!

After years of support from the United States for the Ukraine war to continue “as long as it takes”, the Trump administration is now pushing to end Europe's war – quickly and imperfectly. While details are still under negotiation, they include issues such as ensuring Ukraine never joins NATO and Russia's control over about 20 percent of Ukraine. To understand the implications for Europe, the US and their relations, host Steve Clemons speaks with Kurt Volker, Trump's former special representative for Ukraine negotiations, and retired Colonel Heino Klinck, former director of US Army international affairs.

What do health-minded women actually do to stay healthy? (Spoiler: quick, simple and messy habits lie ahead!) Three friends who prioritize wellness spill the truth about their movement routines, strength training, and connection practices: why one runs while 2 walk, how they build real strength in short sessions, the $2 purchase that improved sleep, and why "eat and run" dinners solved an introvert's friendship dilemma.

Visit today's blog post here. About four times a year, I get that sinking feeling that my IG just isn't very aesthetic, and I worry about what other people (not potential clients) think about me. That I look weird on video, that I ramble, that my captions aren't perfect. But I always come back to this: it's okay that my marketing is imperfect. Who I am in real life is better than my marketing, and I am more complex and full of life and kind than photos and texts can show. I am way better at coaching/caring for people and getting them results, than I am at marketing. And honestly, as a heart-centered entrepreneur, that's exactly how it should be.  In this episode, I share about why your marketing doesn't have to be aesthetic to be effective - especially as heart centered entrepreneurs. The more we can release attachment to our marketing and how "perfect" it is and what others think of it, the more we can put out. And even if it just reflects 60% of your amazingness, that is plenty to sign aligned clients. –– Connect with Anna on Instagram: @heartcentered.entrepreneur

In this episode, we walk through a real 10-year-old indexed universal life insurance policy that didn't follow the original plan. You'll see actual results from a policy where the owner paid about 41% less in premiums than planned and made sporadic payments throughout each year instead of sticking to a schedule. We break down the numbers to show you what really happened with this policy. The average index credit came in at 6.48%, slightly better than the 6% we used in projections. The internal rate of return essentially matched what we expected at policy inception, even though the cap rate dropped by about 30% along the way. You'll learn why timing matters when it comes to index credits and how this policy weathered periods of hitting the 1% floor. We explain how multiple payment segments work when premiums come in sporadically. We also show you what happens to policy expenses over time. In the most recent policy year, index credits totaled about $26,000 while expenses ran around $3,400. That gap only gets wider as the per-1000 charge drops off and the expense ratio falls below a quarter of one percent. We discuss why this policy is effectively out of the danger zone that critics often warn about. This is the fourth 10-year policy we've reviewed on the podcast, and it shows the same pattern as the others. Imperfect execution can still lead to solid results when the policy is properly designed from the start. __________________________ Want to discuss how an indexed universal life policy might fit your situation?

In this episode I share a very human, very imperfect moment I had with a traffic control guy outside my house, one of those interactions where two egos meet, both think they're right, and things go downhill fast.He was frustrated. I was frustrated. And instead of choosing kindness, clarity, or calm, went high and mighty. Righteous. Chest out. Ego leading the charge.And he did the same. Two strangers, both convinced we were justified, making each other's day crap within 30 seconds.That's the work of living authentically, catching yourself when you've acted out of alignment, owning it, and doing something about it. And as Steve and I went for our walk, I knew exactly what I needed to do: apologise.Not because I was “wrong.” Not because he “deserved it.” But because I know how I want to show up in this world and that moment wasn't it.This episode is a reminder that authenticity isn't perfection, it's repair. It's self-awareness put into action. It's choosing who you want to be, even after an ego slip.Have a listen. It's a good one.Read my book, Authentic - coming home to your true self - AUS, EUR, USACoach with me 1:1 - Book a 20-minute call nowThe Good Life - sign up nowOne-day retreat - March 20th, 2026Write into us - let us know what you want to hearWelleCo - use code KAT15 for 15% off welleco.com.auwww.katjohn.com.auSupport the show

1990 - Portland, Maine.  When Portland Police responded to a call of a man lying on the sidewalk in front of Pine Street Variety on a chilly November night in 1990, they initially assumed he'd simply passed out after drinking. But 26-year-old Scott Sampson—a father of two young boys—was already dead, and had been for hours, with no one calling for help. 35 years have passed, yet Scott's sister remains anchored to the same questions that rose the moment his death was discovered. Imperfect but deeply loved, Scott was a devoted father, friend, brother, and son. And his mother's dying wish remained heartbreakingly simple: to know who was responsible, and to know why. If you have information on the murder of Scott Sampson, you can call the Portland Police anonymous crime tip line at 207-874-8584. You may also text keyword “PPDME” and a message to 847411 (TIP411).

I have complex feelings about our personal responsibility. As we know the richest 1% cause more climate damage than over half of humanity. 57 companies are linked to 80% of greenhouse emissions, but our society has pushed us into the thinking its ALL our personal responsibility OR it's not at all. But all or nothing thinking is counter-productive and self-defeating.Instead think of every single imperfect (but inspired) action as a slice of swiss cheese.Sure, some harms may still make their way through the holes. But the more slices you stack on top of each other, the less those holes line up. And eventually, you create a pretty impenetrable block of actions that remind you that the holes were not a problem to begin with.Imperfect action > no action.Read the Inner Self Article on How to Make the World a Better Place.

Send us a textA coffin rattles into a mining camp and turns out to be a piano—an unlikely miracle for a saloon that runs on cards, noise, and stubborn pride. We set the scene in a winter-struck gulch where 300 miners live by the hour and try not to think about the lives they left behind. Goskin, the gambler who owns the hall, wants one thing for Christmas: someone brave enough to bring that silent instrument to life.What follows is a story about fear, longing, and the strange ways grace finds a way in. A half-frozen stranger steps out of the storm, warms his hands by the fire, and admits he used to play. When he touches the keys, the room stops moving. Imperfect chords swell into old ballads and familiar carols that carry the men back to apple blossoms, Scottish heather, and candlelit aisles. Even the toughest faces fold when Home Sweet Home lands. The gambling halts, glasses lower, and hardened men drift out to write letters they've owed for years.Then comes the twist that only the frontier could provide. The player asks for a brother named Driscoll, vanishes before dawn, and leaves an empty till and a trail that dies in the snow. The white hair? A wig. The musician? The three-card man who watched the piano like a starving wolf watching a door. Yet the con can't erase the truth of what happened. Music worked where bullets and bravado never could. It made space for memory, tenderness, and the kind of Christmas that holds time together, even in a place built on luck.If this tale moved you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review with the song that takes you home.Support the showIf you'd like to buy one or more of our fully illustrated dime novel publications, you can click the link I've included.

A startling legal twist changes the case's outcome, possibly forever.
