In this episode, I sit down with my friend and founder of Pause Breathwork, Samantha Skelly, for a deeply honest and soulful conversation about evolution, alignment, and faith in both life and business. Samantha shares how her journey as an entrepreneur has transformed into a spiritual assignment—one rooted in artistry, service, and surrender. We talk about what it means to evolve past old versions of success, let go of what no longer feels aligned, and allow business to become a living, breathing expression of who you truly are. We also dive into the importance of slowing down, receiving support, and making peace with change. Samantha opens up about the role faith and prayer have played in her life, her return to her Christian roots, and how she's learned to invite God into her business decisions. This episode is an inspiring reminder that your evolution is sacred, your alignment is your greatest strategy, and peace comes when you finally trust that you are exactly where you're meant to be.

And so no matter if it's relationships, business, what have you, if there's something that just keeps being that spiritual sandpaper for you, you've gotta really ask yourself like, what am I tolerating here? And just simply put, raise the standard.” - Julie Solomon “ I couldn't see a pathway of it being something else. And I think I had an ego layering on that because my ego was like, “well, surely we can't simplify because then the revenue will drop, and if the revenue drops, then we're not gonna continually grow. And what's that gonna do?” So I had to love fiercely, the part of me that was trying to take over by telling me to keep scaling and what I mean by that is like, not destroy it, not cut it off, not badmouth it, but just love the little girl inside of me that's like, “I wanna keep growing. What if I don't? Who am I gonna upset?” - Samantha Skelly RESOURCES:

In this episode of Pushing Forward with Alycia, I sit down with the Honorable Tony Coelho, retired U.S. Congressman and the principal author of the Americans with Disabilities Act, for a conversation that reaches far beyond disability policy. It's a history lesson, a civics class, and a moral compass all in one thirty minute session. As a nation founded in defiance of oppression and animated by the promise of freedom, we need the values in this conversation now—dignity, equal access, and the courage to stand up to power with truth and love. This is not just a disability story; it's a blueprint for renewing the American experiment. Tony's story is America's story: perseverance in the face of stigma, faith in community, and courageous, bipartisan coalition-building that turned lived experience into law. He reminds us that the ADA wasn't a gift; it was won through testimony, organizing, and unlikely alliances that honored human dignity over party lines. He also offers a clear charge for today: rights on paper are meaningless without enforcement, and opportunity is the measure of whether our promises are real. As we begin our celebration of National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) let us remember we can't afford to ignore the warnings of our past. If we don't learn from history, we are bound to repeat it.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageThe story we were handed about January 6 sounded complete—until the paperwork started talking. We unpack a newly surfaced FBI after-action report, why it arrived on Capitol Hill years late, and what rank-and-file agents say about a lopsided response compared with the 2020 summer riots. Along the way, we examine the operational oddities—274 plain-clothes agents deployed with firearms for “crowd control” after violence began—and ask the basic questions any competent oversight body should: who gave the orders, what doctrine guided them, and where is the full timeline that ties intelligence, deployments, and decisions together.We walk through how the “insurrection” label took hold in real time, amplified by politicians and corporate leaders before investigations matured. Early reporting from Julie Kelly challenged that immediate framing, emphasizing evidence gaps and procedural inconsistencies. Whether you agree with her or not, the sequence matters: labels shape prosecutions, media coverage, and public memory. If the official narrative is sound, it will withstand scrutiny. If it isn't, the record must be corrected with the same volume used to set it.We also press into the unresolved pieces: disputed details around alleged pipe bombs at the RNC and DNC, the mechanics of Guard requests and refusals, and why parts of the FBI's internal critique never appeared in Inspector General summaries. Transparency is the path forward—release synchronized timelines, redacted EOD reports, deployment orders, and communications logs. Accountability is not about scoring points; it's about improving doctrine so future mass gatherings are policed with clarity, restraint, and public trust.Key Points from the Episode:• internal FBI after-action report surfacing years later• agents' claims of unequal responses in 2020 and Jan 6• 274 plain-clothes FBI agents and crowd control questions• the rapid spread of the “insurrection” framing• Julie Kelly's early reporting and evidentiary gaps• outstanding questions on Guard requests and leadership decisions• pipe bomb timeline, forensics, and public perception• accountability, transparency, and reforms for future incidentsBe sure to check out our show page at teammojoacademy.com, where we have everything we discussed in this podcast as well as other great resourcesOther resources: Just the news article Want to leave a review?

This episode marks a huge milestone—the official rebrand of this show from The Influencer Podcast to Woman of Influence. After seven and a half years, thousands of conversations, and an evolution in both my work and myself, I knew it was time to let go of a title that no longer aligned and step fully into the next chapter. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of this decision, the identity shifts that brought me here, and why true influence isn't about followers or performance—it's about legacy, leadership, and faith. I also walk you through my Identity Elevation Framework—the three buyer identities (former self, working self, and highest self)—and why aligning your message to your highest self buyer is the key to building a business that feels light, sustainable, and deeply aligned. You'll hear how I'm raising my own standards, what you can expect from Woman of Influence moving forward (including powerhouse guest conversations), and why this rebrand is so much more than a name change—it's an invitation for you to rise with me.

But when you start speaking to and messaging to the highest buyer identity? You don't just grow, you literally expand.” - Julie Solomon “ We live in a time where we consume without thinking, where we confuse information with wisdom, where we think that the more we know, the more we care. But influence is not about consuming more. It is about embodying truth and faith because that is what cultivates true influence and impact. Influence without truth is just performance. Influence with faith becomes your legacy.” - Julie Solomon RESOURCES:
In this episode, Mark and Clare flip the script on traditional coaching. They reveal why the "fix-it" mentality is a trap and how the most transformative coaches empower their players to lead. Drawing on their experiences as teachers and coaches, they discuss how to build a program that is truly bigger than any one person. They cover practical strategies like asking better questions, creating a psychologically safe environment, and co-creating your team's culture. Tune in to learn how to move from being the "sage on the stage" to a "guide on the side" and unlock your team's full potential.Key Points & Timestamps(2:49) What It Means to be a "Guide on the Side"(4:26) The Power of the Pause: Giving Players a Voice(6:06) Lead with Questions, Not Answers(11:22) Using Feedback for Measurement and Motivation(15:31) Changing "Why" to "What" in Your Questions(17:56) Co-Creating Your Team's Core Values(22:26) The System: From Opportunities to Frameworks(26:26) Eliminating Clicks Through Environmental Design(28:37) Free Community Trial & Other Resources MentionedAction Items for CoachesLead with a question: The next time you see something your team is doing incorrectly, resist the urge to fix it. Instead, ask an open-ended question to get them to think about the problem themselves.Use "powerful pauses": After you ask a question, wait longer than you think you should for a response. Give your players time to process and formulate their own answers.Conduct a "thumbs up/thumbs down" check with eyes closed: To get an honest assessment of your team's understanding of a concept, have them close their eyes before giving a thumbs up or down. This removes the influence of peer pressure.Create a space for small groups: Find a way to have your players talk in small groups of 3 or 4 during practice or film sessions. This creates a safe environment for them to share their thoughts and ideas.Note to the EditorJoin the TOC Coach community: https://www.skool.com/toccoach/aboutSAVI Basketball website: https://savicoach.com/homeSAVI Basketball community: https://www.skool.com/savi-coach/aboutNew RDS course: https://savicoach.com/savi-store/product/681b57b47e0d984134dad0faLockLeft course: https://savicoach.com/savi-store/product/681b579168829870711ebc61

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageWhat does it take to create a truly flourishing life in today's distraction-filled world? Charlie Kirk's powerful challenge to read 50 books yearly and eliminate "soul-depraving" content offers a compelling answer that few of us want to hear but all of us need to consider.This episode explores the twin pillars of reason and revelation that built Western civilization—from the monotheistic foundations of Judaism through the rational inquiry of Greek philosophers like Socrates and Aristotle, culminating in the person of Jesus Christ. We examine how these complementary forces shaped not just history but continue to offer the surest path to personal wisdom and societal flourishing today.Through a vulnerable sharing of my own faith journey, I reveal how returning to serious Catholic practice transformed me into what others describe as "a far better, more patient, more godly person." The communal aspect of faith development gets special attention as I highlight the decade-long impact of the "That Man Is You" men's group on my spiritual growth. This personal testimony serves as an invitation for listeners to consider how intentional faith practice might similarly transform their lives.The practical takeaway is clear: commit to both revelation (putting God first through serious faith practice) and reason (becoming a lifelong learner through reading quality books) for at least 60-90 days. This dual commitment, I promise, will set you on the path to a flourishing life characterized by wisdom, virtue, and purpose. Will you accept the challenge to trade mindless scrolling for the timeless treasures found in great books and faithful living?Key Points from the Episode:• Reading 50 books per year on entrepreneurship, history, finance, and economics• Cutting out "soul-depraving" content like excessive streaming media• Reason and revelation as the twin pillars that built Western civilization• The historical progression from Judaism through Greek philosophy to Christianity• Taking faith seriously through regular practice and humble commitment• Finding community through faith-based groups like "That Man Is You"• Reading the Bible and classic books as complementary paths to wisdom• Trading mindless scrolling for intentional learning and spiritual growthTry committing to both revelation (putting God first) and reason (reading good books) for 60-90 days, and I promise it will change your life. Become a lifelong learner for Charlie Kirk, and you will be on the road to a flourishing life.Other resources: Want to leave a review?

Andrea Samadi revisits her 2019 conversation with neuroleadership pioneer Friederike Fabritius to explore practical neuroscience strategies for better productivity, well-being, and workplace happiness. On this episode, we'll learn: ✔ Why only 20% of people feel passionate about their jobs, and what we can do to change that. ✔ How to use neuroscience to reach peak performance or flow with your work. Neuroscientist and neuroleadership pioneer Friederike Fabritius shows us how three simple ingredients—FUN, FEAR, and FOCUS—can help us find flow and peak performance at work. We'll also explore why men and women often respond differently to stress, how to identify your unique neurosignature, and practical ways to design a workplace (and a life) that helps your brain thrive ✔ Learn the three key ingredients for flow—fun, fear (challenge), and focus—how the stress–performance curve affects apathy and burnout. ✔ Why tailoring roles to individual neurosignatures (dopamine, serotonin, testosterone, estrogen) can unlock peak performance. 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 Episode 373, we continue our journey into our mind with the next interview review. Just a reminder-this review series began back with Episode 366[i], where in Part 3 we discovered an important lesson: if we don't like our results—or what we see on the outside—we need to shift our mindset and look within. True change always begins on the inside. We moved onto EP 369[ii] we learned how to Rewire our Brain with Dr. Dawson Church and his Bliss Brain Meditations, and then EP 370[iii] with John Medina's Brain Rules, where we reviewed how important this understanding of neuroscience is, especially connected to education, teaching and learning. Next we went deeper into our mind and brain with EP 371 and 72 where we with clinical professor of psychiatry from UCLA's School of Medicine, Dr. Daniel J Siegel and his Mindsight concept, which is the same idea as Theory of Mind, or seeing the mind in another. All of these episodes are helping us to further sharpen of minds and brains, and connect better with others, for improved productivity and success in our work and personal lives. For today's EP 373, we go back to EP 27[iv], recorded October 2019, with pioneer in neuroleadership, neuroscientist, Friederike Fabritius[v], from Germany. On this episode, we covered her book, The Leading Brain: Neuroscience Hacks to Work Smarter, Better and Happier. Friederike returned again to the podcast, for EP 258[vi] recorded in November 2022 advancing our conversation with her next book, The Brain Friendly Workplace. Both of these interviews covered important tips that I think we should all take into consideration to be happier, and therefore, more productive at work. Going along with our theme-that if we don't like what's going on outside of ourselves, let's dive deeper into understanding how our brain and minds work. Which brings us back to FRIEDERIKE FABRITIUS, MS, is a neuroscientist and pioneer in the field of neuroleadership. She trained at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research and is an alumna of McKinsey & Company (helping organizations to create change). Friederike delivers brain-based leadership programs to Fortune 500 executives and organizations around the globe to transform how they think, innovate, and navigate change. I'm always looking for productivity tips that we can all use, and it's clear that stress in our workplaces is at an all-time high, globally. We know that “2/3 of people report being stressed at work, to the point they can't sleep at night”[vii] and in our first clip, Friederike reports that “only 20% of people feel passionate about their jobs” and that “40% of people never experience FLOW in their jobs.” I think there has to be another way to find balance here. VIDEO 1 Click Here to Watch Let's listen to Friederike's clip on: Why FUN, FEAR, and FOCUS Matter for Flow & Peak Performance “Only 20% of people feel passionate about their jobs. That's insane. And 40% of people never experience FLOW in their jobs. And (she thinks) it can be that simple. That everyone can be happy at their jobs. All you need are three simple things. (Friederike calls them ) FUN, FEAR, and FOCUS. And it has to do with a certain mix of neurochemicals in our brain. When we are having fun at work (not the after work party kind of fun) where you have fun after the work is done. I'm thinking of having fun related to the task at hand. And when we are having fun, our brains release a neurochemical called dopamine. Dopamine is a real brain booster. It makes you think faster. It helps you to do everything a bit speedier and better, and makes us more creative.”
FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageThe stunning power of forgiveness takes center stage as we explore three extraordinary stories that changed the course of history. Through vivid storytelling, we journey back to other pivotal moments of forgiveness that transformed our world. We revisit Pope John Paul II's extraordinary meeting with his would-be assassin Mehmet Ali Ağca in 1983, where the Pope offered forgiveness to the very man who nearly took his life. The story continues with Robert F. Kennedy's impromptu speech on the night of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination in 1968, where his call for love rather than vengeance prevented riots in Indianapolis while violence erupted across 119 other American cities.Then we end with a breathtaking account of Erika Kirk's remarkable act of grace—forgiving her husband Charlie Kirk's assassin before 80,000 people and millions watching worldwide, just eleven days after his murder. Her words, "That young man... I forgive him because it was what Christ did and what Charlie would do," showcase a profound spiritual strength that transcends human understanding.These three powerful narratives reveal a common thread—the supernatural ability of forgiveness to break cycles of hatred and violence. Each story demonstrates how choosing love in moments of unimaginable pain can transform not just individual lives but entire communities. The raw emotional power of Erika Kirk's forgiveness, delivered in real-time before a global audience, stands as perhaps the most extraordinary example of Christian forgiveness many of us will witness in our lifetimes. What would our divided world look like if we all possessed such courage to forgive? Correction: RFK's gravemarker doesn't contain the words from the poet Aeschlysus. It contains two other inscriptions: click here for the official Arlington cemetery link of his grave marker.

Kennedy's speech following Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination that prevented riots in IndianapolisErika Kirk's remarkable act of forgiveness toward her husband Charlie Kirk's assassin just eleven days after his murder• The spiritual dimension of forgiveness as demonstrated through these powerful historical examples• How these acts of forgiveness created lasting change beyond the immediate moment• The contrast between worldly reactions to violence and the transformative power of Christian forgivenessOther resources: Want to leave a review?

Title: Our IdentitySpeaker: Jesse KaehneDate: 2nd April 2025Location: Adelaide, Australia This episode explores the meaning of Jehovah Nissi—“the Lord is my banner”—and what it means to find true identity in Christ. Drawing from Israel’s journey in Exodus, the message contrasts the doubts of the Israelites with the assurance that God was not only present but their banner of victory and strength. The focus shifts to how identity shapes our lives today. Instead of building identity on shifting values, culture, or people, we are called to root ourselves in Christ. Through scriptures in Colossians, Galatians, and Corinthians, the message highlights the need to put off the old life, live by the Spirit, and show Christ’s character in every setting. Our Christian identity is not something to hide or wear situationally but something consistent, visible, and fruitful. 3 Key Points • True identity is found in Christ, not in worldly definitions or temporary affiliations. • Our lives should reflect the fruit of the Spirit, showing consistency and sincerity in every environment. • Being Christ-like means building an identity of service and sacrifice, which strengthens both personal faith and fellowship.

If your business feels heavy—even though everything “looks” successful—you're not broken, you're just out of sync with your own evolution. In this solo episode, I dive into what I call unspoken burnout—the quiet misalignment that happens when your brand and messaging are still built around a past version of you. I unpack the three identity stages—former self, working self, and highest self—and explain how “identity lag” can leave your content dull, your launches uninspired, and your energy drained. I'll show you how to recalibrate your business so it reflects who you are now, not who you used to be, and why serving from your highest identity attracts and activates the clients you're truly meant for. If you're ready to stop over-explaining, start embodying, and let your presence do the leading, this episode is your invitation to realign and rise. Liked this episode?

In this episode of The Hours Podcast, Mark and Tyler of SAVI Basketball dive into Part 2 of their series on special situations in coaching. They challenge coaches to not only have a pre-determined philosophy for these critical moments but also to actively "test and teach" it to their teams. This episode moves beyond late-game scenarios to cover situations that happen every single game, including pre-game, halftime, and post-game management. They use real-world examples to illustrate how small, well-prepared adjustments can make the difference between a win and a loss, emphasizing the importance of staying true to your team's core principles.Key Points(0:23) Test and Teach Your Philosophy(7:02) Pre-Game Special Situations(12:16) Halftime Management(14:45) Post-Game Routine(17:47) Why Teams Lose Big Leads(20:50) How to Play When You're Down(23:40) When to Call a Timeout(26:51) In-Game SubstitutionsAction Items for Coaches
In Romans 10:6-13, Paul makes it clear, salvation is not about works, striving, or religious zeal. It's about believing in your heart and confessing with your mouth that Jesus is Lord. When God gets hold of a heart, everything changes. We are transformed from the inside out, set free, made new, and filled with His Spirit.This message unpacks what it means to truly be born again, to live a Spirit-driven life, and to walk in the freedom of salvation through Christ alone. Pastor Jamie also addresses the reality of the brokenness in our world, the tragedies, violence, and evil we've witnessed, and points us back to the truth: the issue isn't politics or weapons, it's the condition of the human heart.

In this episode review (Season 14, Ep. 372), Andrea revisits interviews with Dr. Dan Siegel to explore Mindsight—the focused attention that helps us see and reshape our own minds and connect with others. She breaks down how Mindsight underpins social and emotional intelligence and offers practical ways to develop it, including theory-of-mind practice, the Wheel of Awareness, and daily narrative reading. This week, in our review of EP 28 with Daniel J. Siegel, MD and his book Mindsight, we learned: ✔ A deeper definition of Mindsight or seeing the mind in another Mindsight, a term coined by Dr. Daniel J. Siegel, is the ability to perceive the mind within ourselves and others. It goes beyond simply observing behavior; it's about sensing thoughts, feelings, intentions, and perspectives that aren't immediately visible. This skill allows us to look beneath the surface of words and actions, to “see” the mind behind them, which leads to deeper empathy, better relationships, and stronger social intelligence. ✔ What is Theory of Mind and how can this skill help us to connect and understand others better Theory of Mind (ToM) is closely related to Mindsight—it refers to our ability to attribute mental states (beliefs, desires, knowledge, intentions) to ourselves and to others. In simple terms, it's recognizing that other people have thoughts and feelings that may be different from our own. This skill is essential for meaningful communication, conflict resolution, and collaboration, because it helps us predict how someone might react, understand why they feel a certain way, and respond with compassion rather than judgment. ✔ What is Theory of Mind and how can this skill help us to connect and understand others better Theory of Mind (ToM) is closely related to Mindsight—it refers to our ability to attribute mental states (beliefs, desires, knowledge, intentions) to ourselves and to others.

This skill is essential for meaningful communication, conflict resolution, and collaboration, because it helps us predict how someone might react, understand why they feel a certain way, and respond with compassion rather than judgment. ✔ Practical tips to improve our Mindsight or Theory of Mind abilities Pause and Reflect – Before reacting, ask yourself: What might this person be thinking or feeling right now? Name Emotions – Practice labeling your own emotions and noticing them in others (“I feel frustrated” → “They might be anxious”). Perspective-Taking Exercises – Put yourself in someone else's shoes: If I were in their position, what would I be experiencing? Read Fiction Regularly – Choose stories with complex characters and notice how your mind tracks their thoughts and motives. Practice Curiosity in Conversations – Instead of assuming, ask open-ended questions to better understand another's perspective. Mindfulness Training – Strengthen your awareness of your inner world, which improves your ability to tune into the inner world of others. The episode also emphasizes the importance of face-to-face relationships for learning and development, contrasts relational learning with screen-based approaches, and provides actionable tips educators and listeners can use to strengthen empathy, self-awareness, and relational skills. 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. Which brings up to today's episode #372, where we will take Dr. Dan Siegel's concept of Mindsight, to the next level. On our last EP 371 with Dan Siegel, PART 1 of our review of a very early interview EP 28[i], recorded in November 2019, we covered the importance of: Understanding and Applying Mindsight which is “the way we focus our attention on the internal world. It's how we bring consciousness to our own thoughts and feelings, and how we attune to the inner world of someone else. Mindsight gives us insight into ourselves, and empathy for others.” Mindsight is a concept Dr. Siegel felt to be critical for us to develop noting this skill to be “the basis for social and emotional development.” He notes, that it's a teachable set of skills that we can teach in school, and once mastered is a truly transformational tool. In his book, Mindsight he explains this concept further: “Mindsight is a kind of focused attention that allows us to see the internal workings of our own minds. (and we've been talking about how important it is to go within, for true change in our lives to occur). It helps us to be aware of our mental processes without being swept away by them, (which) enables us to get ourselves off the autopilot of ingrained behaviors and habitual responses, and moves us beyond the reactive emotional loops we all have a tendency to get trapped in. It lets us “name and tame” the emotions we are experiencing, rather than being overwhelmed by them. Consider the difference between saying “I am sad” and “I feel sad.” Similar as those two statements may seem, there is actually a profound difference between them. “I am sad” is a kind of self-definition, and a very limiting one. “I feel sad” suggests the ability to recognize and acknowledge a feeling, without being consumed by it. The focusing skills that are part of mindsight make it possible to see what is inside, to accept it, and in the accepting to let it go, and, finally, to transform it into a NEW reality. You can also think of mindsight as a very special lens that gives us the capacity to perceive the mind with greater clarity than ever before. This lens is something that virtually everyone can develop, and once we have it we can dive deeply into the mental sea inside, exploring our own inner lives and those of others. A uniquely human ability, mindsight allows us to examine closely, in detail and in depth, the processes by which we think, feel, and behave. And it allows us to reshape and redirect our inner experiences so that we have more freedom of choice in our everyday actions, (giving us) more power to create the future, to become the author of our own story. Another way to put it is that mindsight is the basic skill that underlies everything we mean when we speak of having social and emotional intelligence.” (Dr. Daniel J Siegel, Mindsight, Location 105, Kindle Edition).

Sermon Recap – “Broken, But Not Beyond Repair”Lee Arnold Live – Jeremiah 19:1–15Sunday, September 21, 2025Key Points:In Jeremiah 19, God told Jeremiah to go to the Valley of Ben-Hinnom with a clay jar. This valley was a place of child sacrifice and became a symbol of judgment.Jeremiah smashed the jar to show that Judah had become hardened beyond repair. Clay can be reshaped, but once hardened, it can only be broken.Judah's sins—forsaking God, idol worship, and shedding innocent blood—brought certain judgment.Today, we must see the parallels. Just as Judah sacrificed children, our world sacrifices millions of unborn lives each year. God still grieves over innocent blood.When attacked or treated unfairly, we must let God defend us. “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still” (Exodus 14:14).Application: As long as we remain soft in the Potter's hands, God can reshape and restore us. But if we harden our hearts, we risk judgment. The call is to remain pliable and surrendered to Him.
FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageFormer President Donald Trump's recent designation of Antifa as a "major terrorist organization" has sent shockwaves through political circles. Speaking from Truth Social during his UK visit, Trump announced plans to investigate Antifa's funding sources—a move that coincides with disturbing revelations about the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.Investigators have discovered Antifa-related engravings on the shooter's rifle and bullet casings, including references to "Bella Ciao," an anti-fascist anthem. The 22-year-old suspect, described as having "pronounced leftist views," maintained a romantic relationship with a transgender roommate and may have been motivated by opposition to Kirk's conservative stances on gender identity, immigration, and Christianity. While formal organizational ties to Antifa remain unconfirmed, authorities continue investigating these troubling connections.Journalist Andy Ngo's definitive work, "Unmasked: Inside Antifa's Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy," provides crucial context for understanding this dangerous movement. Ngo—who suffered a cerebral hemorrhage after being assaulted by Antifa members in 2019—documents how Antifa operates as a sophisticated revolutionary force rather than merely "street hooligans." His research reveals a pan-leftist coalition of militant anarchists and communists united by their desire to destroy American institutions and bring about revolutionary change. The movement's deliberate use of broad definitions of "fascism" allows them to justify violence against virtually any perceived opponent.America stands at a precarious crossroads, with political violence threatening our democratic foundations. When analyzing recent tragedies—from mass shootings to targeted killings—disturbing patterns of ideological extremism emerge. As we navigate these troubled waters, Andy Ngo's reporting offers us invaluable insights into the forces working to destabilize our society. Our nation's future depends on our collective ability to recognize and reject extremism in all its forms especially from this radical left group. Key Points from the Episode:• Trump's administration will investigate funding sources behind Antifa• The shooter's rifle and bullet casings featured Antifa slogans including "Bella Ciao"• Shooter had connections to the trans community and a transgender roommate• Andy Ngo's book "Unmasked" provides comprehensive insights into Antifa's tactics• Antifa is described as a pan-leftist movement of militant anarchists and communists• Their strategy includes destabilizing society through propaganda, radicalization and violence• Recent political violence shows America is "a nation on edge, a nation in deep crisis"• We must seek objective truth rather than subjective interpretationsRead Andy Ngo's book "Unmasked: Inside Antifa's Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy" to understand what we're dealing with, follow his reporting, and pray for our country as we face these challenges together.Other resources: Want to leave a review?

In this eye-opening first part of a two-part series, host Simon Ward sits down with world-renowned running coach Bobby McGee and strength specialist Matt Pendola to tackle a frustrating reality many over-50 athletes face: while swimming and cycling performance may hold steady, running seems to decline more sharply with age. This isn't just anecdotal - it's a well-documented phenomenon that affects both male and female endurance athletes. The trio dive deep into the physiological, neurological, and cultural reasons behind this decline, setting the stage for practical solutions in part two. Key Point 1: It's Neurological First, Physical Second Your brain loses the ability to judge foot-to-ground distance, causing harder landings and longer ground contact times. Key Point 2: Running is Biomechanically Unique Among the Three Sports Unlike supported swimming and cycling with concentric contractions, running demands unsupported eccentric loading under massive forces. Key Point 3: We Do What We're Good At (And Avoid What We Need) Aging athletes gravitate toward endurance work while abandoning the sprinting, plyometrics, and strength training they desperately need. Key Point 4: 70% of "Aging" is Actually Inactivity Most performance decline attributed to age is actually due to lack of specific training - your greatest gains come from your greatest losses.

In this episode, Scott Becker shares 3 insights on startups, including how many new businesses launch each year, why 90% fail within 5 years, and the risks of self-funding struggling ventures.
In this episode, Jason tackles a tough truth: our industry has quietly stopped training. Core builder skills are disappearing and it's costing us. Drawing lessons from Japanese craftsmanship, U.S. military history, and decades of field experience, Jason makes the case that training is not optional it's survival. Just like Japan rebuilds its temples every 20 years to preserve skill, we must continually rebuild our workforce to preserve the craft of building. Key Points: How technology has replaced not supported builder skills. Why the silence of older generations cost us vital knowledge. The impact of rapid scaling without matching training systems. Why field engineering must remain a cornerstone skill. A vision for mass-producing master builders to rebuild America. If you've ever wondered why projects feel harder to staff with skilled leaders, this episode will open your eyes and point to a way forward.

The feud between Prince Andrew and King Charles III has been a long-standing and complex issue, rooted in personal, financial, and public relations matters.Key Points of the Feud:Differing Personalities and Roles:Prince Andrew, the younger brother of King Charles III, has always had a more flamboyant and controversial personality compared to Charles, who has been more reserved and focused on his duties as heir to the throne. Their differing approaches to royal life have often put them at odds.Disputes Over Roles and Titles:After Charles became King, tensions rose regarding the roles and titles within the royal family. Andrew, who had been stripped of many of his public roles due to his association with Jeffrey Epstein and the ensuing scandal, reportedly felt sidelined and sought to retain certain privileges and positions, which Charles was unwilling to grant.Financial Issues:Financial disputes have also been a significant source of tension. As King, Charles controls the purse strings of the royal family, and there have been reports of Andrew seeking financial assistance, which has been met with resistance. The issue of funding Andrew's lifestyle has been a point of contention, especially given his diminished public role.Public Scandals:Prince Andrew's involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal significantly damaged his reputation and, by extension, that of the royal family. King Charles III, along with other senior royals, has been keen to distance the monarchy from this controversy, leading to further estrangement between the brothers.Family Dynamics:Beyond their public roles, the feud is also fueled by longstanding family dynamics, with reports suggesting that Andrew feels overshadowed by his elder brother and resentful of his reduced status within the family hierarchy.Recent Developments:Since Charles became King, he has been focused on slimming down the monarchy, which has further alienated Andrew. The King has reportedly been firm in his stance that Andrew should not return to public duties, leading to a cold relationship between the brothers.(commercial at 9:27)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:King Charles, Prince Andrew had 'desk-pounding shouting match' over monarch's idea to downgrade nieces: author | Fox News

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageThree devastating weeks of violence have left America reeling. From the senseless murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte train to the horrific mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis to the shocking assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, our nation stands at a crossroads where political division, mental illness, and spiritual decay threaten to tear apart the fabric of society.Iryna's story strikes at the heart of the American promise. Having fled war-torn Ukraine in 2022, she sought safety and opportunity on our shores, working multiple jobs while studying to become a veterinary assistant. Her random murder by a man with 14 previous criminal offenses and untreated mental illness reveals catastrophic failures in our systems. We're left asking painful questions: How could someone who escaped war die on an American train? Why was someone clearly dangerous allowed to remain in society?As political discourse devolves into dehumanization, as faith communities become targets, and as mental illness goes untreated, we witness the devastating consequences of decades of cultural decay. The killer's alleged connections to radical groups like Antifa highlight how online radicalization can transform political disagreement into deadly violence.Yet even in darkness, light emerges. Charlie Kirk's widow Erika delivered an astonishingly powerful message just days after losing her husband: "The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry." Her courage reminds us what's at stake and what's possible. Charlie's own words from his 2016 book "Turning Point" now read like prophecy, outlining a vision for America where traditional values, free markets, and individual liberty can flourish if properly messaged and embraced by younger generations.The path forward requires honest conversations about mental health resources, responsible rhetoric, spiritual renewal, and recommitment to fundamental American values. Key Points from the Episode:• Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee who fled the Russian invasion, was fatally stabbed in an unprovoked attack on Charlotte's light rail• The perpetrator had 14 previous criminal offenses and was suffering from untreated paranoia and hearing voices• A mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis killed two children and injured 17 others during a school mass• Conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was assassinated at Utah Valley University by a shooter who had been radicalized online• Erika Kirk, Charlie's widow, delivered a powerful message: "The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry"• Charlie's 2016 book "Turning Point" offers a roadmap for engaging young people in conservative politics and rebuilding American values• We must address liberal mental illness laws, confront political violence, and strengthen our spiritual foundation through Christian values• The path forward requires courage, conversation, and commitment to the principles that have always led America through dark timesLet's continue to engage and talk with our neighbors. As Charlie often said, it's only when you stop talking that violence begins. Let's keep living our best lives for those children in Minnesota, for Iryna, and for Charlie Kirk and his family so that we can make this a better nation.Other resources: MM#349--Kamalas War on the Free MarketWant to leave a review?

In this episode Andrea revisits her 2019 conversation with Dr. Daniel J. Siegel to explore Mindsight — his science-based approach to understanding the mind, integrating the brain, and cultivating empathy. Dr. Siegel explains the difference between mind and brain, the benefits of the Wheel of Awareness meditation, and how Mindsight can change brain structure and improve health. Watch full interview here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7pnea2Vbzc Practical tips include daily Mindsight practice, naming emotions to build self-awareness, and simple emotional check-ins to make learning and relationships more meaningful. This week, in our review of EP 28 with Daniel J. Siegel, MD and his book Mindsight, we learned: ✔ The Difference Between the Mind and the Brain. ✔ The Benefits of The Wheel of Awareness Meditation. ✔ How to Understand and Apply Mindsight that gives us insight into ourselves, and empathy for others. ✔ How Mindsight can change brain structure and improve health. ✔ In order to make teaching and learning more meaningful, what we are teaching must have an element of emotion. 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. Episode 371: For today's Episode 371, we continue our journey into the mind with the next interview review. Just a reminder-this review series began back with Episode 366[i], where in Part 3 we discovered an important lesson: if we don't like our results—or what we see on the outside—we need to shift our mindset and look within. True change always begins on the inside. EP 369[ii] we learned how to Rewire our Brain with Dr. Dawson Church and his Bliss Brain Meditations, and then last week, EP 370[iii] with John Medina's Brain Rules, we reviewed how important this understanding of neuroscience is, especially connected to education, teaching and learning. Which brings us to today's review, EP 371, where we revisit a very early episode with clinical professor of psychiatry from UCLA's School of Medicine, Dr. Daniel J Siegel. He's from EP 28[iv], that was recorded back in November of 2019. As we take this journey deeper into the mind, Dr. Dan Siegel offers the perfect place to begin, with his ability to bridge cutting-edge neuroscience and practical wisdom. Dr. Dan Siegel, is well known for his books, trainings and courses that bridge cutting edge neuroscience with mindfulness and therapy. A reminder of his background-he's a clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine and executive director of the Mindsight Institute[v] where you can find his courses, workshops, books and tools to help anyone understand and apply what can sometimes be complicated scientific concepts and make them easy to understand and applicable to our daily lives. At the end of the interview, I let Dr. Siegel know that I had been practicing his Wheel of Awareness Meditation, and ended up reviewing what I learned on EP 60[vi] where we explored the Science Behind a Meditation Practice. You can watch the whole interview by clicking on the link in the resource section in the show notes, and learn all about Dr. Siegel's work that encompasses schools, with resiliency, brain science and helping our next generation to understand how to apply these important strategies whether it's in our classrooms, or workplaces of the future. Today we will continue to explore within, sharpen our mindset, and learn about what Dr. Siegel calls Mindsight. VIDEO 1 Click Here to Watch In Clip 1, Dr. Siegel unpacks the concept of Mindsight and helps clarify the difference between the mind and the brain, when I asked him to explain this distinction. I knew this wasn't an easy question—as I had already listened to him answer it many times over the years, and still wasn't sure I fully grasped it. In fact, I even tried to tackle it myself back in Episode 23[vii], Understanding Your Brain and Mind for Increased Results. But revisiting this topic now, I can see this concept requires a much deeper reflection. So, I asked Dr. Siegel if we could look at his definition of the mind—one he has been studying for years and that many in his scientific and educational circles agree on. He describes the mind as “an embodied and relational process—since it's in the body and it's in our relationships with one another—that regulates the flow of energy and information.” I wanted to hear him expand on this again, especially around why relationships are so critical for our health, our well-being, and for creating what he calls an integrated brain—which he equates with a healthy brain. His answer helped me to understand the importance of implementing Mindsight into our daily life. He said: “The word mind doesn't actually have a formal definition—not in education, psychotherapy, or even in fields like psychology that study it directly. But if we look closely, the mind includes your subjective experience—that inner feeling of being alive. It also includes consciousness—the ability to know that you're having that subjective experience. And beyond that, there's information processing—which doesn't always require consciousness and is essentially what school focuses on: learning to process information. When you understand the mind as a self-organizing process—a complex system that regulates its own becoming—you begin to see the power of teaching about the mind itself. This is what we call Mindsight. And if we could bring this understanding into education, the outcomes for students would be profoundly different.” Key Tip 1 with Dr. Dan Siegel Understanding and Applying Mindsight which is “the way we focus our attention on the internal world. It's how we bring consciousness to our own thoughts and feelings, and then next, how we attune to the inner world of someone else. Mindsight gives us insight into ourselves, and empathy for others.”
In this podcast, Thomas Domville demonstrates a new iOS feature that lets you reset VoiceOver settings back to factory defaults—useful when settings have become confusing or inconsistent. He walks through where the option lives, how to activate it, and the consequences (you'll lose all customizations).Key Points & TakeawaysPurpose: Quickly restore VoiceOver to a clean, default state when troubleshooting is too time-consuming.Where to find it: Inside Settings → Accessibility → VoiceOver.Irreversible action: Resetting wipes all VoiceOver customizations (voices, rotor options, verbosity, speech settings, etc.). There's no “undo.”When to use: After lots of experimentation or when helping someone whose device has settings “buried” or misconfigured.After the reset: You'll need to reconfigure your preferred voice and options.Step-by-Step: Reset VoiceOver Settings (iPhone)Open Settings.Navigate to Accessibility.Select VoiceOver.(If using VoiceOver: one-finger double-tap to open items, swipe right/left to move focus.)Scroll to the bottom of the VoiceOver screen.(Tip: A four-finger tap near the bottom half of the screen jumps focus near the bottom.)Choose Reset VoiceOver Settings.Confirm the reset.You'll return to factory defaults for VoiceOver.What Resets?Voices & speech (e.g., your selected voice like Samantha)Rotor configurationVerbosity & audio settingsOther VoiceOver-specific preferencesTranscriptDisclaimer: This transcript was generated by AI Note Taker – VoicePen, an AI-powered transcription app. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers' names, voices, or content.Thomas: Hello and welcome. My name is Thomas Domville, also known as AnonyMouse. Now, this is kind of a cool new feature that I would like to introduce to you, and that is being able to reset your voiceover settings. Yes. In the previous past iOS, you were not able to specifically reset the voiceover settings. I mean, you probably have known and tried to reset different types of settings. And all they give you is just like all or nothing. It's just like, wow, I don't want to reset all my settings.I just want to reset the voiceover settings. And this might occur for one reason or another. Now, in my case, I will visit some of my clients from time to time. And I noticed that it's just really, really messed up. Or I should say, sometimes it's just easier to reset the voiceover settings than to try to figure out what they have done and what needs to be changed. So there could be a number of things. And you know as well as I do, everything is buried, right? And there could be multiple things.I need to go find, turn this off, turn this on, put this back in…
In this podcast, Thomas Domville explains how to stop the two-finger Magic Tap gesture from unexpectedly starting or pausing media playback. If you hang up a call or use Magic Tap in other contexts and your audiobook or music begins playing when you didn't intend it to, this setting lets you turn that behavior off (and back on later if needed).What You'll LearnWhat the Magic Tap gesture does by default.Why media sometimes starts playing after ending a call.Where Apple tucked away the control to disable Magic Tap's media action.How to toggle the option quickly and safely.Key Points & HighlightsProblem addressed: Unwanted media playback triggered by Magic Tap (e.g., when ending calls).Solution: Disable Magic Tap's Media Playback action in VoiceOver Commands.Reversible: You can re-enable the option anytime if you miss the convenience.Scope: Applies when no other action is available—preventing the “surprise” play/pause behavior.Step-by-Step Guide: Turn Off Magic Tap Media PlaybackOpen Settings.Go to Accessibility → VoiceOver.Enter Commands.Choose Magic Tap.Toggle Media PlaybackOff.TranscriptDisclaimer: This transcript was generated by AI Note Taker – VoicePen, an AI-powered transcription app. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers' names, voices, or content.Thomas: Hello and welcome. My name is Thomas Domville, also known as AnonyMouse. If MagicTab has been kind of a pest for you, sometimes things can get frustrating for those that use a MagicTab. For example, if you're on a phone, you're calling somebody, sometimes you do a MagicTab to hang up on a phone call, right? Only to find out or to end up having the media being playing or the last audiobook's been playing, whatever this might be in the background, things like that. If that's been occurring quite a bit for you and it's something that frustrates you and wish you could be able to turn that option off, you can. So starting in iOS 26, you're now able to disable the magic tab when it comes to media playing. So this is not going to be for everyone, but I want to at least make this aware for everybody. So if this is one of those things that annoys you and you would like to have that option turned off because it occurs to you each and every time you don't want it to happen, have no fear. I'm going to show you how to turn that magic tap off. We're going to head over to the native settings.VoiceOver: Settings. Double tap to open.Thomas: One finger double tap to open settings.VoiceOver: Settings.Thomas: Now swipe to the right until you find the Accessibility button.VoiceOver: Accessibility button.Thomas: One finger double tap that.VoiceOver: Personalize iPhone in ways that work best for you with accessibility features for vision, mobility,…

That's why we end up keeping so much, 'cause we're like, “oh, I feel like I'm throwing out my kids' childhood if I don't keep every piece of art that they've ever made.” And then when you give it to 'em, my girls are 25 and 23, they don't want it.

Episode 370 reviews Dr. John Medina's insights from Brain Rules and explores how neuroscience and social-emotional learning combine to improve teaching, learning, and well-being. Key takeaways: teachers need basic neuroscience to support learning; the emotional stability of the home strongly shapes a child's resilience and confidence; and children build resilience when adults co-regulate and model healthy emotion management during high-emotion moments. This short review highlights practical steps for educators, parents, and leaders to apply brain-based strategies and SEL to boost student outcomes and lifelong skills. EP 370 covers a review of Dr. John Medina's Brain Rules, from EP 42 (February 2020) We learned: ✔ If education is about the brain, then teachers need to understand how the brain learns best. ✔ A child's resilience and confidence are deeply tied to the emotional climate of the home. ✔ Children build resilience not in calm moments, but in how parents (or caregivers) respond when emotions run high. 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. Episode 370: Brain Rules and the Future of Learning For today's Episode 370[i], we continue our journey into the mind with our next interview review—Dr. John Medina, author of the well-known book Brain Rules. We first featured Dr. Medina in EP 42, when we explored “Implementing Brain Rules in Schools and Workplaces of the Future.” To remind you where we began with our interview review series: We opened with EP 366[ii], diving into speaker Bob Proctor's timeless principles. Bob was the very first person—over 25 years ago—who challenged me with the question, “What do you really want to do with your life?” At the time, I didn't have a clear answer. It's taken well over 25 years now for this clarity to evolve. Eventually, I realized what mattered most to me: and that was bringing social and emotional learning (SEL) skills into schools. I had already seen how these skills—once called “soft skills”—transformed the lives of 12 teenagers I worked with in the motivational speaking industry in the late 1990s. Later, I watched as SEL spread into schools across states and countries, until the research became undeniable. A 2011 meta-analysis of 213 studies confirmed what I had seen firsthand a decade before this study was released: students who participated in SEL programs showed an 11-percentile-point increase in academic performance[iii] compared to control groups. That's a significant improvement, demonstrating just how powerful SEL can be. Long before this research, I simply knew these skills could shape the future of the next generation. This podcast itself was built around the six core SEL competencies—each explored in its own dedicated episode that you can find in our resource section in the show notes. Then came the next step: adding the lens of neuroscience. I realized that everything we were studying in SEL connected back to how the brain works. My deep dive into what I called “Neuroscience 101” began when an educator handed me a stack of books that opened my eyes to the importance of brain science in education. From those early hand-drawn sketches grew the framework that still guides this podcast today—bridging SEL and neuroscience to make learning both practical and powerful. Which brings us to today's review: Episode 370, where we revisit Dr. John Medina. At the heart of this conversation is the very question that launched my journey years ago: What happens when we connect social and emotional learning with neuroscience? How can understanding the brain not only improve results and productivity, but also better equip our next generation of students in the classroom? It was John Medina's Brain Rules that first landed on my bookshelf back in 2009. And to be honest—it just sat there for a while. I wasn't ready yet. As Dr. Medina himself has said, this kind of learning can't be forced. You need a strong why to really dive into the mind–brain connection. For me, that why came later, when I realized how deeply understanding the brain could impact learning, teaching, and even life itself. If you're following along with this podcast, I imagine you've had a similar moment—when the connection between the brain and practical neuroscience suddenly made sense and became something worth pursuing. I'm always curious about what that moment looks like for others—what it is that makes this topic click. For me, it became clear during my very first presentation on this subject in November 2017, at a conference for the York Region School District in Toronto. The topic I was in charge of presenting was Stress, Learning, and the Brain, and the room was so full it was standing room only. This was after just three years of studying the topic myself, and when I first opened up David Souza's How the Brain Learns Series, I honestly thought this topic was over my head, and too difficult for me to understand, let alone having me teach it to others. But once there is a strong why, the way will be shown. And that day, when I saw how many people showed up to learn the topic, I knew this was the field I wanted to dedicate the rest of my life to—continuing to learn, and helping others understand and apply to their lives. VIDEO 1 Click Here to Watch Now that you know where this mind-brain connection began for me, I hope you can gain clarity with why it's so important to you. Important enough that you are tuning into this podcast to learn more. Wouldn't you know it—understanding this WHY with the brain-mind connection to thrive at home, work and school and with sport is exactly what Dr. John Medina said to me during our interview back in February 2020. If you click the link in the show notes, you can watch VIDEO 1, where he explains: “I believe that the cognitive neurosciences should be at the table of education training. Before you get a Bachelor Degree in Education, you have to have a fair degree of neuroscience. And it's a very specific slice—it's the kind of neuroscience that says: this is what we know about how the brain learns. Because teachers are in charge of that. It blows me away sometimes—I look at the Colleges of Education: if you're in the Geology Department, you study rocks. If you go to Medical School, you study humans. You could argue that the world of education is all about studying the brain. Where are the courses that say—‘This is how memory works. This is how we get someone to pay attention. This is what visual processing looks like.'” Dr. Medina is 100% right. When I went through teacher training at The University of Toronto, courses like this weren't offered. Fast forward to today, and my daily work now focuses on supporting educators with the Science of Reading—a body of research that, much like SEL, took decades to gain traction but is finally reshaping classrooms and teacher training, impacting how we teach our next generation of students to read. Of course, this knowledge can't just be forced on us. It's not easy material—it requires effort to learn. But if you're listening to this podcast each week, it's because you're curious. You're willing to dig into concepts that, until recently, were reserved for medical students. That's how Dr. Douglas Fisher gained his insights into how the brain learns best. As he told me in EP 161[iv], How Learning Works: Translating the Science of Learning into Strategies for Maximum Learning in Your Classroom, he actually sat in classes with medical students to develop a deeper understanding of brain-based learning—knowledge we were never given in traditional teacher training.

I'm so excited to share this intimate Q&A episode with you! These are the kinds of questions I get asked most often inside my coaching containers, from close friends, and honestly—the ones I ask myself too. In this conversation, I open up about how to know when it's time to evolve your message, the biggest leadership lessons I've learned this year, and what it really looks like to align your business with your highest self. I also dive into staying connected with your partner while building a business, why I don't believe in balance (but do believe in rhythms), how my relationship with my body has shifted over the years, and the role faith plays in everything I do. Plus, I share the ways I've learned to protect my energy while staying soft, open, and deeply loving. This episode is full of heart, honesty, and the behind-the-scenes truths I know so many of us need to hear. Liked this episode?

But only when and where that reciprocity can flow both ways.” - Julie Solomon “ There are moments of the day that are going to require different rhythms based on the needs of my children, the needs of my partner, of my husband, and my needs, and I can no longer outsource that rhythm to someone else's idea of balance that is wrapped up in this, you know, curated and glorified idea around guilt. That's never made sense to me. I don't know how mom guilt is gonna somehow make me a better mother. I haven't figured that out yet, so I just don't relate to that. But I do relate to the necessary rhythm and just letting yourself off the hook when it comes to balance, because I don't think that it exists.” - Julie Solomon RESOURCES: [JOIN MY VISIBILITY TRAINING] With just 1 hour a week, my proven content framework will help you refine your messaging and turn your offers into consistent, scalable sales.

Air Date 9/1/2025 The way people consume almost every variety of media, entertainment, and art is different now than it was only 10-15 years ago. That means that the way protest music, revolutionary art, and even mass market productions and performances are going to be different, feel different, and likely find you in different ways than in the past. But the drive to create never dies and art will always be part of the resistance to oppression. Be part of the show!

Now you never wanna push the edge and be like, oh my entire life is a write off like you're definitely gonna get in trouble if you do that. But what we find most of the time is people are too conservative.” - Nate Coughran GUEST RESOURCES: Cookie Finance Cookie Finance Blog @cookiefinance RESOURCES: [JOIN MY VISIBILITY TRAINING] With just 1 hour a week, my proven content framework will help you refine your messaging and turn your offers into consistent, scalable sales.
