In this unique solosode of The Red Light Report, Dr. Mike Belkowski debuts a brand-new format — breaking down and rebutting claims from another health podcast, The Medical Medium, which recently aired an episode titled Methylene Blue: Why It's a Problem.   Dr. Mike methodically addresses the statements made by host Anthony William, point by point, providing science-backed explanations, clinical context, and mitochondrial physiology to counter misinformation about methylene blue. From the basics of redox potential and mitochondrial water production to its synergy with red light therapy, Dr. Mike explains why methylene blue remains one of the most promising mitochondrial support tools — and why some common criticisms don't hold up under scientific scrutiny.   Expect a fascinating mix of science, myth-busting, and practical takeaways for anyone curious about methylene blue, mitochondrial health, and how to navigate conflicting health advice in the age of information overload.   Key Topics Covered: Why The Red Light Report will soon have a new name The limitations of the “Mitochondrial Triad” model and what's next The science of methylene blue vs. common misconceptions How redox potential impacts health more than diet alone The truth about methylene blue, electrolytes, and hydration Why methylene blue's blue pigment is key to its benefits The synergy between methylene blue and red light therapy How methylene blue supports brain health, cognition, and neuroprotection Methylene blue's role in ATP production and mitochondrial water creation When methylene blue may (and may not) be a concern for the liver   Key Quotes from Dr. Mike:   “Life is powered by electron flow — not calories, not minerals. Electrons are the fuel your mitochondria run on.” “That blue pigment isn't just pretty — it's the reason methylene blue works so well with red light therapy.” “Methylene blue doesn't have an antioxidant in it. It is the antioxidant.”   Key Points: 00:00:27 – Podcast name change announcement & future direction 00:02:56 – Expanding beyond the Mitochondrial Triad 00:04:01 – Why rebutting misinformation matters 00:10:07 – Methylene blue & electrolytes: myth vs. fact 00:17:56 – Is bitterness a sign of harm? 00:25:42 – Redox potential explained 00:36:02 – Top ways to improve redox potential 00:40:13 – How methylene blue works as an antioxidant 00:46:45 – Why the blue pigment is beneficial 00:51:53 – Methylene blue & hydration 00:57:04 – Bioactivity and mitochondrial effects 01:02:15 – Nervous system benefits & neuroprotection 01:08:01 – Methylene blue and the liver: the real story 01:12:12 – Final thoughts on evaluating health claims - BLUE SPECIAL THIS WEEK...SAVE 20% ON ALL BIOBLUE SUPPLEMENTS!!

In this special Summer Series Flip episode, I'm so excited to share a conversation I had on the Brilliant Balance podcast with the amazing Cherylanne Skolnicki. We talk all about the journey of becoming—how I moved from chasing external success to aligning with the woman I'm meant to be, and how that shift has transformed the way I live, lead, and support others. I open up about what it means to create clarity (instead of waiting for it), rewrite the stories that keep us stuck, and take radical responsibility for the version of ourselves we're stepping into. We also dive into the evolution of my book Get What You Want, the truth about personal branding, and why I believe you shouldn't build your business based on who you used to be—but from the place of who you're becoming. This conversation is raw, honest, and such a beautiful reminder that you don't need to wait to become her—you can be her now. Liked this episode?

And the more that you can really own who you are. You say what you mean and mean what you say, and you don't say it mean, and you just own that with every bit of you. That is actually the ripple effect in the mirror that magnates people to you.” - Julie Solomon  “ What I really get hooked on is like, okay, what are you making up and telling yourself that, that person has? Because that's going to allow you to drop more into what it is that you want that's already inside you. If it wasn't inside you, you wouldn't see it in other people, good or bad, right? You can also do this with what you're wanting to shed, right?

August 13, 2025: Eric Utzinger, Co-Founder and Chief Client Officer at Revuud, tackles the world of healthcare consulting. Drawing from 15 years in healthcare consulting, Eric reveals how the industry shifted around 2013, creating a system where traditional staffing firms often add little value beyond letterhead while charging substantial markups. What happens when technology enables direct access to pre-vetted talent pools? The conversation explores how marketplace platforms can eliminate intermediary costs while maintaining quality control, and why the assumption that higher costs equal better consultants may be costing health systems more than they realize. Eric addresses the critical balance between project success, talent vetting, and transparent pricing in an industry where finding the right IT expertise quickly can make or break major implementations.

August 11, 2025: Josh Howell, Healthcare CTO from Rubrik, joins Drex for the news. They examine the spike of healthcare organization breaches in summer 2025, with threat actors now moving from breach to data exfiltration in minutes rather than weeks. Josh reveals research showing ransomware attacks trigger a 20-40% decline in patient volumes within the first week, but what happens when notification costs exceed settlement amounts? They challenge conventional disaster recovery thinking, questioning whether traditional DR measures address the real problem of rebuilding trust through isolated recovery environments. The discussion also tackles a critical industry issue—how can healthcare organizations break through legal barriers to share vital attack and recovery knowledge when every breach response happens in isolation, potentially leaving the entire sector vulnerable?

The HVAC industry is evolving quickly, from advanced controls to new refrigerant standards, yet one principle remains timeless: skilled technicians are the backbone of the trade. What is changing is how companies are preparing those technicians for long-term careers through focused HVAC training. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in the field is projected to grow 9 percent from 2023 to 2033, with about 42,500 openings each year. This faster-than-average growth underscores the need for clear career pathways, strong retention strategies, and higher service standards.How can HVAC companies design training that develops technical mastery while fostering pride, customer focus, and career growth?In this episode of Straight Outta Crumpton, Greg Crumpton engages with Jeremy Clark, the Training and Development Leader at Carolina Chillers. Clark shares how nearly two decades in the field, from residential service to data center cooling and project sales, shaped his vision for technician development. Clark explains why retention starts with career clarity, how “doing one extra step” elevates customer service, and why adaptability is essential in a rapidly changing industry where HVAC training must keep pace with new technologies.Key Points from the Conversation:Building training programs that pair technical standards with personal career roadmaps to improve retention and engagement.Encouraging technicians to “do one extra step,” small, thoughtful actions that strengthen customer trust and set work apart.Preparing teams for new technologies, from A2L refrigerants to advanced rooftop and VRF systems, through targeted skill-building.Jeremy Clark is the Training and Development Leader at Carolina Chillers, bringing nearly two decades of HVAC experience across residential, geothermal, commercial, industrial, controls, and critical facility environments.

August 7, 2025: In this Keynote recap, Bill takes viewers through the untold reality behind digital transformation: the biggest obstacles aren't technological, they're human. What happens when you're tasked with building an entire IT department from scratch, or when you have to justify why a hospital even needs a CIO? As organizations develop their fourth digital roadmap and AI promises to revolutionize care delivery, seasoned executives reveal how clinical experience shapes risk tolerance, why traditional hiring practices miss diverse talent, and the critical mistake of treating innovation as a separate function. From Penn Medicine's team-building challenges to Utah's rural care initiatives, these leaders offer candid insights about balancing budgets with human resources, communicating effectively up and down the chain, and preparing organizations for an AI-enabled future without creating costly silos.Key Points:[00:01:00] - Michael Restuccia [00:02:00] - Deborah Proctor - Donna Roach [00:03:00] - Susan Ibanez [00:04:00] - Lee Milligan [00:06:00] - Chuck Podesta [00:07:00] - Joel Klein [00:08:00] - David Butler, MD [00:09:00] - Tressa SpringmannX: This Week HealthLinkedIn: This Week HealthDonate: Alex's Lemonade Stand: Foundation for Childhood Cancer

Or do you wanna take an acorn and plant it deeply in the ground and watch this beautiful oak tree grow?  And so for me, I knew very early on that I wanted to be the oak tree and not the field of wild flowers that could get wiped away at any storm that was gonna come through. I wanted to, you know, have that mighty foundation and that root system to help me sustain.” - Julie Solomon  “ I don't need to have more lead funnels and pay for more leads and bring more people to it. I just need to convert who's showing up better.  And again, you talk about this whole idea of less being more, and I think that is so freeing for any creator online because we get in this mindset of more is more and more is better, but the reality is less of the right thing gives you a better result. ”- Alex Sanfilippo GUEST RESOURCES: You can listen to more of Alex on Podcasting Made Simple 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.

Should Christians baptize infants or only believers? This age-old debate divides denominations and families. In this episode of Marked by Grace, Heath Lambert respectfully tackles the arguments against infant baptism from a Baptist perspective. Despite having two Presbyterian mentors who deeply influenced his ministry, Heath examines three key areas: biblical teaching, biblical examples, and biblical covenants. Discover why there's no New Testament command to baptize babies, what household baptisms really teach, and how covenant signs relate to the nature of God's covenants.Timestamps0:00 - Introduction: Arguments against baptizing babies3:07 - Personal story: Two Presbyterian mentors who shaped Heath's ministry5:53 - Why church history can't be our ultimate authority7:12 - Biblical teaching: No New Testament text commands infant baptism8:07 - Colossians 2:11-12 doesn't teach infant baptism10:54 - 1 Peter 3:21 doesn't mention infant baptism12:35 - Romans 6:3-5: Baptism requires faith and understanding14:22 - Biblical examples: Household baptisms and arguments from silence16:24 - Biblical covenants: Signs must match the nature of the covenantKey Points- No Clear Biblical Command: There is no text in the New Testament that explicitly commands or describes the baptism of infants - this is a significant issue when establishing Christian practice.- Church History vs. Scripture: While church historians can be quoted on both sides of the infant baptism debate, Scripture must be our ultimate authority, not historical precedent.- Colossians 2:11-12 Misunderstood: This passage speaks of spiritual circumcision "made without hands" and assumes the baptized person has faith - it cannot refer to infant baptism.- Household Baptisms Are Arguments from Silence: When Acts describes household baptisms, there's no explicit mention of infants. The text indicates those baptized "heard the word" and believed.- Baptism Requires Understanding: Romans 6:3-5 shows baptism as a picture of death, burial, and resurrection with Christ - meaningful only for those who understand and trust in Jesus.- Covenant Signs Match Covenant Nature: Throughout Scripture, covenant signs directly relate to the covenant's nature. New Testament baptism signifies personal faith, not biological or familial membership.- New Covenant, New Requirements: Unlike Old Testament circumcision based on biological descent, New Covenant membership is based on personal faith, requiring different covenant signs.- Respectful Disagreement: It's possible to disagree with infant baptism while maintaining deep respect for those who practice it, including mentors and fellow believers.Scripture ReferencesColossians 2:11-12 - "In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead." - Spiritual circumcision, not infant baptism1 Peter 3:21 - "Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body, but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ." - Baptism as an appeal of faith, not infant cleansingRomans 6:3-5 - "Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his." - Baptism requires understanding of Christ's death and resurrectionActs 10:44 - "While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word." - Those baptized in household baptisms were those who heard and believedRomans 2:28-29 - "For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter." - True circumcision is spiritual, not physicalHave a question you'd like answered?

DOWNLOAD KEYNOTE SLIDES Summary of Message by Pastor Bryan Hudson, D.Min. “Developing Mountain Moving Faith” Part Three from the series, “Lord, Teach Us to Pray” Scripture Foundation: Matthew 17:14–21 The message centers on the account of a father who brings his tormented son to Jesus after the disciples failed to heal him. Jesus rebukes the demon, heals the boy, and rebukes His disciples for their unbelief—despite their intentions and prior efforts. He then teaches that “this kind” (of challenge and deliverance) only comes through prayer and fasting. Main Theme: Faith Must Be Developed to Move Mountains Dr. Hudson emphasizes that faith is not automatic or instant; it must be cultivated, prepared, and developed over time, just like any skilled profession. This sermon explores how true faith—faith that produces results and moves mountains—develops through process, prayer, fasting, discipline, and refining trials. Key Points and Lessons 1. Faith Needs Development Faith is not a switch to flip but a process to grow. The disciples believed they could help the boy but lacked the spiritual development to meet the challenge. Just as craftsmen hone their skills over time, believers must grow in faith through experience and learning. “You don't start moving mountains. You start moving molehills.” 2. Understanding Unbelief Unbelief is not the absence of belief, but the lack of preparedness to meet a spiritual demand. Like a trained athlete who stops training and fails despite past success, the disciples failed because they were not ready. Unbelief = underdeveloped or unfocused faith. 3. Faith as a Mustard Seed Jesus didn't say “faith the size of” a mustard seed, but “faith as a mustard seed”—meaning faith that grows. Mustard seed faith starts small but is planted, nurtured, and grows into something powerful. Growth can happen quickly when we are willing to lean into God and walk away from distractions. 4. Two Types of Faith Faith (noun): Beliefs, doctrine, lifestyle (Jude 3). Faith (verb): Belief in action—obedient steps based on God's Word (Matthew 17:20). “You cannot have active faith without sound doctrine. Faith comes by hearing the Word.” 5. The Power of Prayer and Fasting Prayer and fasting are not about moving God—they move you. They shift your attention away from self-centered routines and help you focus on God. Fasting is not merely about abstaining from food; it's about setting aside personal pleasure and self-satisfaction to align with God's will. “You can't focus on yourself and focus on God at the same time.” 6. Hindrance to Faith: Offense and Bitterness Harboring offense or bitterness blocks faith development. Many offenses are not even sins—just preferences or misunderstandings. Scripture (Proverbs 19:11, Matthew 18:15) instructs believers to let go of offense or address it directly if it's a true sin. “Don't let anyone live rent-free in your mind and hinder your faith.” 7. Faith Must Have Corresponding Action (James 2:14–20) Faith without works is dead. Words alone are not enough. True faith produces change—in your heart, life, and lifestyle. Faith is not a transaction, but a lifestyle aligned with the will of God. “Faith is a habit—a consistent way of living and trusting God.” 8. Faith Will Be Tested by Fire (1 Peter 1:6–7) Trials are part of faith development. God uses refining fire to purify and strengthen our faith. Gold becomes more valuable after it is tested by fire—and so does genuine faith. “You won't burn up. You'll come out better, stronger, purer.” Key Quotes and Reflections “Faith is developed, not downloaded.” “Prayer and fasting don't move God—they move you.” “Unbelief is not disbelief; it's unpreparedness.” “Mountain-moving faith grows through molehill-moving obedience.” “Let go of offense—it's not worth stunting your faith.” Final Prayer and Exhortation Dr. Hudson concludes by thanking God for the process of developing faith. He encourages believers to embrace: The disciplines of prayer and fasting The necessity of letting go of offense The value of genuine, tested faith “Lord, thank You that our faith grows like a mustard seed—from a small beginning to something great and fruitful.” Summary Statement Developing mountain-moving faith is a journey of spiritual growth, intentional focus, disciplined habits, and grace under fire. Faith doesn't just appear; it is formed in the presence of God, shaped by the Word, tested by trials, and manifested through love, obedience, and action.

Welcome back to another episode of the Allison J. Taylor LIFT Podcast. What does it take to succeed as a product manager? It's not just about building great products, but also about leadership -- piloting people, processes, and change. In this episode, Alison J. Taylor speaks with Chris Naunheimer about building and making the product and also about selling the product so that it's profitable because it fulfills an unmet need.   They explore the topic through the lens of their new book Power Up Product Management, a quick-start guide that includes stories, practical exercises, and ready-to-use templates, designed to help product managers thrive in the first 90 days of their product management journey. In their conversation, Allison and Chris discuss common misperceptions about product management and share practical advice for new and seasoned product managers. They explore why success is not purely about the product, why the process is rarely linear – more chaotic, and why emotional intelligence (EQ) matters as much as IQ. They also delve into the customer, whoever is going to either use, buy, or influence the product and how critical it is to manage those stakeholders.    Finally, they discuss the often-overlooked skillset that product managers should have – emotional intelligence. The reality is that you must sell people on your idea and to convince people to invest – whether it's with their physical money, emotional energy, or time and effort. Their book delves into what product managers need to know to perform successfully – the tools and the people management. Tune in now!   Key Points from This Episode: •    Discover why product management is about more than just the product itself. •    Explore why stakeholder mapping is a critical skill for product managers to learn. •    Learn why product development is rarely linear and the importance of embracing flexibility. •    Find out what a common misperception is surrounding the Agile framework and how Agile may be more disciplined than the Waterfall framework. •    Unpack why EQ and persuasive communication are essential skills. •    Hear ways technology has impacted the development of products and processes. •    Learn how AI can be a tool within product management and what it cannot replace. •    Hear a real-world example of a simple tool that delivers great value and how. •    Find out what Chris and Allison hope to achieve with their book.   Chris Naunheimer   Guest Biography:   Chris Naunheimer is an adjunct faculty member and a capstone project advisor in the Masters of Product Design and Development Management program at Northwestern University.   Along with a Master's of Product Design and Development Management, Northwestern University, and a bachelor's in mechanical engineering, University of Illinois, Chris has more than 20 years of experience at multi-national Fortune 500 industrial companies with leadership roles in engineering, R&D, strategic marketing, new product ventures, and user-centered design. Chris holds 25 patents and brings this innovation and continuous improvement mindset to teaching. This mindset, coupled with his user experience, design education, and industry experience, brings a broad cross-functional skill set to his roles at Northwestern University.   Chris is passionate about design and has a deeply held belief that we can use design to develop insights and solutions that can change people, cultures, and the world. Tweetables:   “One of the most common misperceptions about product management is that product management is all about the product.” — Chris Naunheimer [0:01:59]   “The user, the customer, or whoever is going to either use, buy, or influence the product; those stakeholders are critical. And if you want to be a good product manager, that's part of what you have to manage.” — @allisonthought [0:05:01]   “Product and product development can be very, very chaotic. It doesn't always follow a linear path.” — Chris Naunheimer [0:06:45]   “Agile adds complexity as much as it is helpful for pivoting in smaller increments.” — @allisonthought [0:12:54]   “One of the motivations for us even writing this book is to be able to help other people. And that's why we created it. I like tools like that.” — Chris Naunheimer [0:26:50]   “We put the stakeholder map in the book to make sure product managers were aware of what potential bumps could occur. Who is the team that you're going to work with and make sure they're inspired, they're understanding why, and they're motivated, not just informed.” — @allisonthought [0:15:20]     Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: Chris Naunheimer on LinkedIn Thought Marketing LLC Power Up Product Management Strava Kool Stop Email Listener feedback to info@thoughtmarketing.com Allison J.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageWelcome to a transformative moment for the Theory to Action podcast! After four dedicated years of exploring conservative books and wisdom, we're expanding our horizons with a new weekly format that complements our traditional book-focused episodes.This inaugural Weekend Show establishes a historical foundation by ranking America's five most significant presidential scandals. From the infamous Watergate break-in that forced Nixon's resignation to the secret oil reserve leases of Teapot Dome, the Clinton-Lewinsky affair, railroad corruption during Grant's administration, and the Whiskey Ring tax evasion scheme—each scandal reveals profound lessons about power, accountability, and the fragility of democratic institutions.Having established this historical baseline, we turn our attention to troubling contemporary revelations. Recently declassified information points to what could potentially become the most consequential political scandal in American history—a nine-year presidential coup attempt with connections to the highest levels of government. Drawing from authors like Lee Smith and Greg Jarrett who documented these developments in real-time, we promise future episodes that will methodically examine the evidence and implications.The show also highlights notable new conservative literature, including Mark Levin's latest exploration of power dynamics and Drago Dazarian's powerful journey from political prisoner to Navy SEAL. We close with wisdom from Joshua Metcalf's "Chop Wood, Carry Water," a book currently being studied by the Ohio State Buckeyes football team, on embracing the essential processes that lead to greatness.Our mission remains unchanged: to distill timeless wisdom from great conservative books and translate it into immediate action for a flourishing life.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageHave you ever felt that sainthood is impossibly out of reach? Mary Ann Budnick's refreshing perspective in "You Can Become a Saint" shatters this misconception, revealing that holiness isn't reserved for spiritual superstars—it's precisely what God created you for.The book's central message hits like a thunderbolt: "The best kept secret in the world is that God created you to be a saint. That is the only purpose for your creation." Through practical guidance, Budnick dismantles the barriers we place between ourselves and holiness, offering what she calls the "ABCs of becoming a saint." Rather than presenting sanctity as something abstract or unattainable, she provides a concrete roadmap that begins with bringing order to your life—creating the spiritual and practical foundation where virtue can flourish.Prayer forms the cornerstone of this journey. Drawing from St. Thomas Aquinas's simple answer to what makes a saint—"Will it"—and St. Joan of Arc's motto "God served first," Budnick crafts a compelling formula for sanctity that feels genuinely achievable. She demystifies heroic virtue as not about occasional grand gestures but consistent excellence in ordinary tasks. "Heroic virtue is not doing something nice or difficult every now or then," she writes, "It's being heroic each day, in every task that we undertake." This perspective transforms our understanding of holiness from spectacular achievements to quiet, persistent choices made moment by moment.Whether you're a devout Catholic or simply curious about integrating authentic spirituality into your daily life, this accessible 316-page guide challenges you to see that holiness isn't just possible—it's the path to your most fulfilled life. Ready to discover how your unique vocation serves as your personal path to sainthood? The journey starts with a single act of will.Key Points from the Episode:• God created you to be a saint - this is your only purpose for creation• Sainthood requires both dying in a state of sanctifying grace and living a life of heroic virtue• Heroic virtue means being heroic each day in every task, not just occasionally• The "ABCs of becoming a saint" provide a practical roadmap to holiness• Prayer is non-negotiable - even Pope John Paul II prioritized prayer during critical situations• Bringing order to your life creates the foundation for hearing God's voice• Small, consistent acts of faith can transform your relationship with God• Using your vocation as your path to holiness rather than just pursuing worldly successKeep fighting the good fight and remember that God's grace makes holiness possible for everyone.Other resources: Want to leave a review?

From there, the duo dives deep into four pressing topics for gym owners: how to increase prices without a revolt, how to plan a second location without losing your mind (or your first location), how to evaluate outside opportunities without losing focus, and finally, how to build a powerful retention system. Vince shares real-life stories from clients, practical checklists, and a fair bit of humor and firepower on why charging more and simplifying your business might just be your ticket to massive growth and sanity. 5 Key Points from the EpisodePrice Increases Are a Mindset Game First, a Math Game SecondVince lays out a two-step pricing strategy: calculate worst-case loss (and realize it's rarely catastrophic), and then zoom out to see long-term gains (e.g., $30/month = $120K more per year). Keep it simple—use a flat rate increase across the board to avoid confusion and resentment.Opening a Second Location? Focus on Four BucketsSimplify the chaos by breaking planning into four major categories:Money (how much you need, where it's coming from)Pre-sale Marketing (start day one with clients)Staffing (who's running it?)Facility Setup & Legal (lease, layout, legal ducks in a row)Don't scale until your first location is rock solid.Every Gym Owner Needs a Focus FilterTo avoid shiny object syndrome, answer: What do I want to be the best in the world at?Use that as your "yes/no" filter when evaluating new opportunities. Focus isn't sexy, but it's the real superpower of successful entrepreneurs.Retention Is Defense—and Defense Wins ChampionshipsVince outlines a 5-point checklist to build a rock-solid retention system:A retention coordinator owns itIt's measured (target: under 5% attrition/month)You have the right people on your teamYour product is excellent (aka, "the soup is tasty")You create ongoing client engagementStrong Team > Fancy EquipmentIt's not your wall color or your squat racks that keep people coming—it's your coaches. Mediocre staff drain retention. Hire amazing people, train them well, and build systems that keep them focused.

Finding the Why: The Courage to Understand Betrayal When betrayal strikes, one of the first—and most painful—questions we ask is: Why? Why did they do this? Why am I reacting this way? Why does it still hurt? In this weeks episode of the Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis explore the emotional terrain beneath the question “Why?”—from both sides of betrayal. Whether you're the partner who was betrayed or the one who acted out, this conversation invites you to pause, look inward, and begin to understand the deeper patterns, pain, and unmet needs that often lie beneath surface behaviors. This episode is about more than answers. It's about reclaiming clarity, self-awareness, and hope. It's about finding the courage to ask honest questions—and the grace to explore them without judgment. Key Points from the Episode: The “Why” Is Often Complex: There's rarely a single reason behind betrayal. Stress, disconnection, childhood trauma, and emotional avoidance often intersect. Understanding ≠ Justifying: Explaining why something happened isn't about excusing it—it's about owning the story with honesty and accountability. Betrayed Partners Need to Know Why: Many betrayed partners seek the “why” not to forgive, but to feel safe—so it doesn't happen again. Anger as a Messenger: Anger often masks deeper emotions like fear, grief, or feeling unlovable. Recognizing this helps both partners move toward healing. The Power of Insight: Recovery deepens when individuals identify their emotional triggers, patterns, and the moments they cross internal boundaries. The “Five Whys” Technique: Asking “Why?” five times in a row helps uncover the root belief or fear behind a reaction or behavior. The Body Remembers: Emotional memories can be stored somatically. Sometimes the why is felt before it's fully understood cognitively. Self-Compassion Matters: Whether you're uncovering your own “why” or hearing your partner's, approach the process with curiosity—not judgment. Tools & Resources Mentioned: Journaling Prompts for Insight: “What was I feeling right before I acted out or shut down?” “What does this experience say about me—and is that really true?” “What need was I trying to meet?” The 5 Whys Exercise (inspired by Toyota problem-solving method) Morning Pages – from The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron A daily writing practice to uncover unconscious thoughts and patterns. Books Referenced: The Body Keeps the Score by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg Willpower by Dr. Roy Baumeister Mindsight by Dr. Daniel Siegel Takeaway Message: Understanding your why—whether you're the one healing from betrayal or the one seeking to make things right—is an act of courage. It's not about blame. It's about seeing clearly, feeling deeply, and choosing to heal with intention. For more information about Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn's work please visit HumanIntimacy.com  

In this enlightening episode I chat with Dr Rachael Crystal, a GP and accredited menopause specialist, about the complex relationship between burnout and perimenopause. We explore how hormonal changes, stress, and life pressures intertwine, impacting women's mental and physical well-being during midlife. Rachel shares her Masters research on the lived experiences of professional women navigating burnout during perimenopause, revealing key themes like loss of identity, the importance of support, and pathways to empowerment. If you're curious about recognizing burnout, understanding hormonal impacts, or seeking ways to thrive through midlife, this episode is packed with valuable insights and hope.   Key Points & Takeaways: Burnout & Perimenopause Overlap: Many women experience symptoms like exhaustion, brain fog, and emotional detachment during perimenopause, often exacerbated by stress and life pressures. These symptoms can be mistaken for other issues, leading to confusion and delayed support. The Role of Hormones: Fluctuating oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels during perimenopause impact brain function, resilience, and stress management, making women more vulnerable to burnout. Research Insights: Rachael's qualitative research with 15 women uncovered four key themes, including the "lost in transition" feeling—women feeling a loss of identity and grappling with the invisible pressures of work and life. Challenges in Diagnosis: Many women struggle to get clear answers, often being misdiagnosed or told their symptoms are due to stress or depression. Blood tests may not always provide clarity in perimenopause. Pathways to Empowerment: Supportive interventions like hormone replacement therapy (HRT), coaching, counseling, and building community can help women regain confidence, set boundaries, and re-evaluate their lives. The Power of Community & Support: Normalizing conversations about menopause and burnout, creating safe spaces, and sharing stories can reduce stigma and foster resilience. Hope & Positive Change: Many women find empowerment and renewed confidence after navigating these challenges, often emerging with clearer boundaries, stronger self-awareness, and a sense of freedom.   Connect with Rachael and learn more about her work at Manchester Menopause Hive (https://manchestermenopausehive.co.uk/) and via The Burnout Revolution podcast and Substack newsletter (https://rachaelchrystal.substack.com/podcast)  If you enjoy the podcast please help us grow by sharing this episode, or writing a review.

Your child just asked you a question that made you freeze up. Whether it's about circumcision after Sunday school, what sex is, or something they read in the Bible, difficult questions from kids can catch Christian parents off guard. In this episode of Marked by Grace, Heath Lambert shares three essential principles for handling sensitive topics with children. Learn why YOU must be the primary source of answers, how to use Bible words confidently, and the art of giving age-appropriate responses without overwhelming little minds.Timestamps0:00 - Introduction: Handling difficult questions from little kids2:36 - Principle #1: YOU must be the source of answers4:50 - Principle #2: Use Bible words confidently6:44 - Principle #3: Be age-appropriate in your responses7:40 - Example: "What is sex?" - Simple, truthful answer8:18 - Example: Deuteronomy question from a first-graderKey Points-Be the Primary Source: Your children will get answers to their difficult questions somewhere. The question is: do you want them getting answers from you or from friends, the internet, or other unreliable sources?- Use Bible Words: If God uses certain words in Scripture, they're appropriate for your children. Don't feel nervous about using biblical language - circumcision, adultery, etc. - when explaining biblical concepts.- Age-Appropriate Responses: Don't give more detail than children actually want or need. Often a simple, truthful answer satisfies their curiosity without overwhelming them.- Create an Open Environment: Make it clear that no question is off-limits, even if it makes you uncomfortable. Children need to trust that parents are the best source for answers.- Start Simple: Begin with basic explanations and let children ask follow-up questions if they need more information. Don't build the whole "watch" when they just want to know the "time."- Biblical Foundation: Scripture equips us for every good work, including answering our children's questions. If kids are old enough to read the Bible, they're ready for Bible words. View this episode of Marked By Grace on teaching the Gospel to your children: https://youtu.be/hSlKeI3YHyI- Modern Challenges: Today's children face more complex questions earlier than previous generations due to increased exposure to mature content and technology.Scripture References2 Timothy 3:16-17 - "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work." - Scripture equips us for answering children's questionsDeuteronomy 6:6-7 - "And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise." - Teaching God's word to childrenEphesians 6:4 - "Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." - Parental responsibility for spiritual instructionHave a question you'd like answered?

I also open up about my own journey—what happened behind the scenes after hitting 7 figures, how I rebuilt with more alignment, and why power content and momentum messaging are now at the heart of everything I teach.

But it's really that messaging and really making sure that you are standing out for being known for something specific.” - Julie Solomon  “ I feel like so many times, and even for myself, as founders, like we're really good at building our businesses, but messaging and copywriting, that messaging might not be our area of expertise. It's like we know what we wanna get across and we know what our purpose is, but how do we actually get the right words to be able to actually message what that is?”- Stephanie Cartin GUEST RESOURCES: You can listen to more of Stephanie on The Entreprenista Podcast Listen to Stephanie's Episode of The Influencer Podcast 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.
