Solo September is fully in swing! Time for another one-player one-shot and this time it's one of the solo games I've had in my collection and on my list for the longest: Princess With a Cursed Sword by Anna Anthropy!   In this solo journaling game, you play a - you guessed it! - princess given a cursed sword and tasked with finding where it belongs to get rid of it. I had a great time making Princess Camille and delving into the dark tombs of the past to see an ancient deal finished. I hope you enjoy, and DEFINITELY think you should try this one.   ----more---- Join the DMs After Dark Discord channel!   I made a Ko-Fi if you feel absurdly generous and want to help cover podcast hosting costs & all the upkeep.

What if you're doing your best to follow God, but you honestly don't know what to do? Life doesn't always come with a clear five-step answer. Sometimes we're caught between our emotions, what we believe God is asking us to do, what other people are telling us, and the patterns we've relied on for years—and we're left wondering, How do I actually walk through this well? In this episode, we talk about what it looks like to slow down when life feels complicated, untangle the different voices and emotions involved, and find a wise next step instead of feeling like you have to figure everything out on your own. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN [00:00] When You Don't Know How to Walk Through Something Well [02:00] Why We Sometimes Need Someone Outside the Situation [04:00] You Can Love Jesus and Still Not Know What to Do [07:00] “You Can't Read the Label From Inside the Jar” [08:00] Telling the Whole Truth About What's Happening Inside [09:00] Looking Beneath the Emotion for What's Really Driving It [11:00] Calming Your Body Before Trying to Figure It Out [16:00] The Everyday Situations That Can Leave Us Stuck [18:00] Finding Your Next Faithful Step RESOURCES:  Private Coaching with Alicia — Get personalized support for a specific relationship, emotional struggle or life situation.  AliciaMichelle.com/coaching  RELATED EPISODES: Ep. 378: What Actually Helps When You're Carrying a Lot Emotionally?

Welcome to another episode of Perspective Checks where I sit down with friends and folks from the TTRPG world and discuss what they love about this wonderful hobby!   This month's episode is with the incomparable SuperDillin, host of One Shot Podcast as well as one half of Dorkspawn, the video game book club podcast! Oh and he also recently cowrote the newest addition of the Ultimate Roleplaying Series - The Ultimate RPG Villain Backstory Guide with James D'Amato. Besides being just very cool, Dillin plays a lot of games over on One Shot and appearing elsewhere as an AP icon, and we talk about games as a hobby, a community, and a preferred vehicle for exploring all things about the human experiences.   This chat is honestly mostly just me gushing over all the cool things Dillin is involved with, but we do talk about some really interesting things in the world of tabletop games from the intentionality and creativity of indie games, the "everyone's hot and nobody's horny" problem that drives Dillin to encourage sexuality and romance heavily in his games, and more.    Here's a list of some (hopefully most) of the things we talked about in this episode: Rom Com Drama Bomb by More Blueberries (Elliot Davis) Be/Hold - TTRPG Music Voices in the Wood by Tales Yet Told DIE RPG by Kieron Gillon/Rowan, Rook, & Decard RPG Major Podcast Perils & Princesses by Outrider Creative Force of Extinction by 12 Sided Studios Hinterlight by Tyler Lamb Stewpot by Takuma Okada The Last Smile in Sunder City by Luke Arnold A Land Once Magic by Viditya Voleti Campanions by Spilled Coffee Creatives   ----more----   Join the DMs After Dark Discord channel!   I made a Ko-Fi if you feel absurdly generous and want to help cover podcast hosting costs & all the upkeep.

It's never been easier to hire the wrong attorney. Most people interviewing law firms after a truck crash ask about the lawyer, and they forget to ask about everyone else on the team. In this episode of Ask David, Board-Certified Truck Accident Attorney David Craig explains why that one oversight can change the entire outcome of a case.David sits down with co-host Ashley Napier to break down the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys (ATAA), a group founded in 2016 that's dedicated entirely to plaintiff lawyers and paralegals handling truck wreck cases. They talk about what the ATAA actually does, why truck law is completely different than a car wreck or a trip-and-fall case, and why the firm you choose should invest in more than just one good attorney.✔️ What the ATAA is and why it matters when you're hiring a truck accident lawyer✔️ Why truck cases require expertise that most personal injury lawyers simply don't have✔️ How board certification in truck accident law works and what it takes to earn it✔️ Why paralegals can now be board-certified too, and how that benefits families✔️ How the recent unanimous Supreme Court broker decision changes trucking cases✔️ Why "I couldn't see because of the snow or glare" is an excuse, not a justificationDavid Craig is one of the few attorneys in the U.S. who is Board-Certified in Truck Accident Law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy and accredited by the American Bar Association. That means he meets rigorous experience, ethics, and knowledge standards to hold trucking companies and unsafe drivers accountable. With 39+ years handling semi-truck wreck cases, David has served on the ATAA Board of Regents since the group started, and he'll be speaking again this year in Denver on how truck drivers are mistreated by brokers, shippers, and motor carriers, and how that impacts safety.Here's a detail most people never think about. When a top trial lawyer is locked in preparing for trial, working seven days a week and 15-hour days, somebody has to keep every other client's case moving at the same level. That only happens when a firm invests in its whole team. This year, CKF is sending more than ten people to the seminar, because knowledge is power and this is a team game.

268 - Der Start ist gemacht und Kiki hat sich entschieden, Kalorien zu zählen. Wir besprechen das Für und Wider - und auch die Gefahr der Abhängigkeit davon. Wir besprechen die Ergebnisse und einige Punkte zum Sport. Das Gespräch wurde noch einmal in 2 Teile geteilt. Die Gewichtssteuerung ist zum Teil das Know How und all die Umsetzung (Außenwelt). Damit es sich wirklich löst, dürfen wir auch all die Gedanken und Gefühle ansehen und lösen. Darauf gehen wir im zweiten Teil des Gespräch ein. Viel Spaß mit dieser Folge!

Quick pivot to play a recommended one-player one-shot of Tiago Junges' Ronin, recommended by this month's Perspective Checks guest Cezar Capacle!   Ronin is a solo TTRPG that was the mechanical and framework precursor to the excellent NOTORIOUS & OUTSIDERS which I played on this podcast. You play the part of a Ronin, a masterless samurai of Sengoku period Japan on a journey to achieve your goal.   I condensed what could have been a whole series into one hour, but I highly recommend you play this game and let me know how your story goes! I want to play more of it now, and I already have the successor to Benjiro, Little Bear Ronin to do it with :)   Get Ronin (for FREE) here! and now I want to check out Shinobi - an expansion for Ronin!   ----more---- Join the DMs After Dark Discord channel!   and Get in on playing some Wicked Good Adventures!   I made a Ko-Fi if you feel absurdly generous and want to help cover podcast hosting costs & all the upkeep.

Sure, we've had one one-shot, but what about second one-shots?   Okay, the joke doesn't land, but you get it! I ran some of the DMs through a one-shot of The One Ring 2e! Amber, Chris, Jess, and Kent play as members of a new fellowship in the time between the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings far away from anywhere you may be familiar with in Middle Earth! West of the Shire, west of the Blue Mountains lies the lands of Lindon, where the elves set sail from the Grey Havens to the Undying Lands, but north of those elven lands lies Forlindon, a northern territory of elves long banished or self-exiled from the rest of their eternal kindred.   The Lady of Forlindon has called for aid from beyond to solve a problem in an abandoned dwarven mine in the Blue Mountains, and our heroes take up the call!

You've heard me interview survivors. This time, I am the survivor being interviewed.My friend and co-host Kardia Joi turns the microphone around and asks me about my own story—where I came from, what I survived, and what healing has looked like along the way.In this conversation, I share parts of my story that I haven't talked about publicly before. We get into some of the harder particulars, but we also talk about what it has meant to find my voice, wrestle with what happened, heal, and discover a life that is so much bigger than my past.There is something different about sitting in the survivor's chair rather than the interviewer's chair.Kardia asks thoughtful questions, gives me room to answer honestly, and walks with me through a conversation that is deeply personal.This time, you get to hear the story behind the woman who usually asks the questions.Join Kardia Joi and me for this special episode of the Only God Rescued Me Podcast. Kardia Joihttps://open.spotify.com/artist/26nfYblvXy3ruxooCv3j8K?si=ntw9hpoWTbiHWrJVo-GrywOther Kardia Joi Episodes: “Child of My Dreams” https://open.spotify.com/track/5dkrPEPRRMLqIVJHIaDr2F?si=002861aedb66442c “Discovering Faithfulness” https://open.spotify.com/track/0REcCTwTScMcOlMz1jjU5x?si=7ea53fc5bcb343b3 “I Am Not Alone” https://open.spotify.com/track/5F14AoD7q9w5h6Yzr2df4C?si=4fffc326937a44bf “I Don't Know How to Be” https://open.spotify.com/track/6Gf4rn2pMpt9PojHnOu0AM?si=6ab868f92a2f4b0b "It Isn't Well" https://open.spotify.com/track/5rjjwuUOJu7pMTXWvM8VDM?si=a3f158e7012b4d03 Let's Get Unstuck, with Kardia Joi: https://youtu.be/yYka7ImvLOc  "Life to Me," with Kardia Joi https://open.spotify.com/track/6hA1rnF8ZiWF5BXPYwU0cA?si=2b7642f7f8a54979 "Love That Will Not Leave Me Blind"https://open.spotify.com/track/0oeJmmABDNoHesi3LRYZGn?si=a58d785f4f8942cf “Meet Me Here” https://open.spotify.com/track/4lPajoxBMeJyigEVJll8bb?si=77b0a19b32d44819 “Pieces” https://open.spotify.com/track/69Os278hLX1OpCV2cKHSkv?si=54da4d0f61354721 “Small”https://open.spotify.com/album/2bUNIUkZjW5SkGMGbHTQE6?si=sTZru3bESf27IWiCjWmtzg Healing Music with Kardia Joi: https://youtu.be/2jzDXEyZJqU Only God Rescued Me:Website:https://www.onlygodrescuedme.com/ Contact Lisa:lisa@onlygodrescuedme.com To help support this podcast: Become an OGRM Support Angel on YouTube ($4.99 per month): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXudcfKU-b6NtSQphUOstRA/join Spotify Subscriber ($2.99 per month): https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/lisa-meister/subscribe PayPal paypal.me/Lisa453Venmo @lisameister4242 Square https://square.link/u/kQLAozvVBuy Me a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/onlygodrescuedme.com

Trying to conceive can affect so much more than your fertility. It can change your sex life, create resentment, bring old trauma and insecurities to the surface, and leave couples feeling more like roommates than partners. In this episode, Dr. Leah breaks down some of the most common relationship dynamics she sees during a difficult TTC or infertility journey, including the project manager and avoider, silent grievers, sex on schedule, and the unequal burden dynamic. She also shares practical ways to communicate your needs, involve your partner, protect intimacy, shift unhealthy patterns, and create a stronger foundation for the parenthood you're working toward. Most importantly, if trying to conceive has changed your relationship, you're not alone, and it doesn't mean your relationship is doomed.00:00 Trailer + Intro01:43 How Trying to Conceive Can Affect Your Relationship02:47 When TTC Starts Changing Your Relationship05:07 When Sex Becomes a Chore06:43 The Vicious Cycle of Libido and Disconnection10:06 How Hard Times Bring Old Wounds to the Surface11:43 When Fertility Changes the Relationship Dynamic16:04 The Project Manager and the Avoider18:39 Give Your Partner the Map20:06 The Silent Grievers21:13 Sex on Schedule and Unequal Burden25:35 The Hidden Grief of Trying to Conceive27:30 The Micro-Griefs Women Carry30:32 When Your Partner Doesn't Know How to Show Up33:05 Creating the Support You Actually Need35:30 Reconnecting With Joy and Your Identity37:46 Giving Your Partner a Clear Role41:37 Letting Go of Control43:48 Protecting Polarity and Connection49:28 What Your Partner Can Actually Do51:50 Protecting Your Relationship During TTC55:07 Breaking the Resentment and Disconnection Cycle57:27 Getting Support and Processing the Hard Stuff60:44 Building a Stronger Foundation for Parenthood63:03 You Are Not AloneResources From This Chapter: The Queen's Code book by Alison Armstrong - https://www.amazon.com/Queens-Code-Alison-Armstrong/dp/B01DAYC348/The Queen's Code Podcast Episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0Kx1WKOBj6ByS9BWrMm3fH?si=afc6a448f29a40a1 Healthy As A Mother Podcast | YouTubeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | InstagramHealthy As A Mother Podcast | TikTokHealthy As A Mother Podcast | Merch StoreFind more from Dr. Leah:Dr. Leah Gordon | InstagramDr. Leah Gordon | WebsiteWomanhood Wellness | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Morgan:Dr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 10% at EarthleyUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHERUse code HAAM and save 10% at Fond

Young MCThe Man Behind the Music That Made the World Bust a MoveSome songs become hits. Some songs become memories.And then there are songs that become part of the language.“Bust A Move” is one of them.Listen to the new single "I'm on one"In this episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas, we honor Young MC — Marvin Young — a Grammy-winning, multi-platinum artist, songwriter, performer, and genuine pioneer of hip-hop whose music helped bring rap into the center of popular culture.In 1990, Young MC made history when “Bust A Move” won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance, becoming one of the defining songs of hip-hop's golden era. The track reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remained on the chart for 40 weeks. His debut album, Stone Cold Rhymin', became a platinum success.But Young MC's legacy goes far beyond one legendary song.Before stepping into the spotlight himself, he co-wrote “Wild Thing” and “Funky Cold Medina” for Tone Lōc — two songs that helped define the sound of late-1980s hip-hop and its crossover into mainstream music.He was also a USC economics graduate who somehow went from writing rhymes between college assignments to becoming one of the most recognizable voices in hip-hop. And yes, the story of how Bust A Move came together is almost as remarkable as the song itself.For anyone who grew up with “Bust A Move,” “Principal's Office,” “I Come Off,” “Know How,” or the sound of late-'80s and early-'90s hip-hop playing through the speakers, this is more than a conversation with an artist.It is a celebration of a soundtrack to a generation.Young MC helped prove that hip-hop could be clever, funny, intelligent, infectious, commercially successful — and still unmistakably authentic.More than three decades later, Bust A Move continues to appear in movies, television, playlists, parties, sporting events and across generations. That kind of staying power isn't nostalgia.That's legacy.

Bushy puts business under the same investment microscope as property, shares and alternatives, helping you decide whether starting, buying, taking over or continuing to own a business deserves a place in your A for Approach strategy. Because a business can compound your wealth or quietly consume your time, money and capability. Bushy breaks down the difference between owner wages, genuine maintainable investor returns and transferable business value, and explains why a business that can’t earn without you or sell without you hasn’t yet become a truly transferable investment. Using his company KnowHow as a candid case study, he also explores the journey from the early reality of reinvesting every spare minute into the business to creating systems, people and processes that ultimately delivered greater freedom. In this episode you’ll discover: The 4 legitimate ways business can fit into your investment strategy Why a healthy income doesn’t necessarily mean you own a valuable business How to separate your wages from genuine business profit The critical test for knowing whether your business can operate without you Why systems, people, relationships and incentives are the real force multipliers What really matters when calculating the sale value of a business How debt, tax, costs, clawbacks and transition can shrink the headline sale price Why the strongest businesses give you back your time as well as your money Bushy’s red, amber or green verdict on business as an investment vehicle 6 practical actions to help you decide what role business should play in your investment strategy Business ownership can be incredibly rewarding, but being busy, being well, paid and owning a valuable asset are three very different things. The goal isn’t simply to own a business. It’s to build an asset that can pay you, operate without you and ultimately be worth something when you’re ready to leave.

Are you avoiding your finances because you're afraid of what you'll find? The truth is, the stress you're feeling may have less to do with money and more to do with not knowing your numbers.In this episode of the Be Unmessablewith podcast, Josselyne Herman-Saccio shares why financial clarity creates freedom, not fear. Drawing on more than 35 years of coaching entrepreneurs, founders, and high performers, she reveals how "financial fog" quietly drains your energy, clouds your decision-making, and keeps you reacting instead of creating. You'll discover why your brain invents worst-case scenarios when you avoid your finances, the three numbers that can transform your relationship with money, and why peace of mind comes from being grounded in reality, not from having a bigger bank account.In this episode, you'll learn:Why financial avoidance creates more stress than financial realityThe psychology behind "financial fog" and decision fatigueThe three numbers every entrepreneur should knowHow to align your spending with your values and visionWhether you're a business owner, entrepreneur, founder, or someone ready to stop worrying about money and start designing your financial future with intention, this episode will help you replace uncertainty with clarity, confidence, and the freedom to become truly Unmessablewith.Connect With JosselyneWebsite: beunmessablewith.comInstagram: @beunmessablewithFacebook: UnmessablewithnessLinkedIn: josselyneherman-saccioYouTube: @beunmessablewith

Welcome to another episode of Perspective Checks where I sit down with friends and folks from the TTRPG world and discuss what they love about this wonderful hobby!   This month I'm honored to have sat down and talked with one of my absolute favorite game designers Cezar Capacle! You've heard me play multiple of his games on this feed such as Wraithound and Midnight Melodies, and believe me I will play more of them!   Cezar is a Brazilian game designer now living on the island of Madeira and not only does he put out a lot of games, all of which are incredibly quality, his breadth of genres and mechanics and concepts is truly a marvel to behold. We talk about his philosophy of letting all of your ideas bounce around in your head like a game design hadron collider to his work ethic of diligent vs. inspired creativity which helps him capitalize on those a-ha moments. Honestly, if you take nothing else from this episode, this was an amazing tip to just show up and do the work so you find your groove, hone your craft, and then the rest will come easily when the muse comes to bless you with great game ideas.   But most importantly, we talk about his upcoming game Mausworn: Brave Tails on Perilous Trails, a Mausritter-meets-Ironsworn game of mice adventurers on epic quests. This game feels like it was made FOR ME, and you can be I'm going to play it on this podcast when I can! Instead of just taking bits and mashing up the two systems, Cezar has carefully crafted OSR sensibilities and Ironsworn's narrative generation into a whole new thing and it. sounds. amazing.   Cezar's YouTube channel has multiple videos on his process with Mausworn I highly recommend!   I hope you enjoy this chat, I would love to bother and chat with Cezar every day about games if I could. Go get his games and tell me (and him!) how excellent your experience was, you won't be sorry.   ----more----   Join the DMs After Dark Discord channel!   I made a Ko-Fi if you feel absurdly generous and want to help cover podcast hosting costs & all the upkeep.

Was hat die DDR mit vietnamesischem Kaffee zu tun? Ende 1989 wurde die erste, von DDR-Experten betreute Ernte an Rohkaffee in Vietnam auf ein Schiff geladen und Richtung Ostdeutschland geschickt. Die örtlichen Pflanzungen versprachen, auch in den nächsten Jahrzehnten große Mengen an Rohkaffee abzuwerfen. Aber in Ost-Berlin wurde das DDR-Regime gestürzt - und die Ostbürger kauften die "Krönung" im Westen. Was geschah mit den vietnamesischen Lieferverpflichtungen? Wohin ist der Kaffee verschwunden, der mit ostdeutschem Knowhow und Geld angebaut wurde? - Teil 3 unserer Feature-Reihe. Von Christian Schiller, Frédérique Veith und Marianne Wendt SWR 2023

Teaching Kids How To Spot Manipulation (but at the family's expense?) Are we protecting our kids from family drama, or are we missing crucial teachable moments about manipulation and boundaries?

This final episode of our Confidence series ties everything together: the inner work of accepting discomfort and self-doubt, defusing from self-critical thoughts, and clarifying values now becomes the foundation for outer action. You can build confidence through the daily practice of taking small committed actions, again and again, in alignment with your values, even when you don't feel ready.  We'll dig into strategies like psychological flexibility: the ability to be present with thoughts, feelings, and sensations without letting them stop you from doing what matters. With that flexibility, we can shift from self-focused attention (consumed by what others are thinking, picking apart your own performance in real time) to task-focused attention. Self-focused attention takes the prefrontal cortex partially offline and redirects computing power to threat-detection and self-monitoring. Shifting attention to the task brings it back online. You think more clearly. You respond more flexibly. You perform closer to the level you're actually capable of. The practice is simple to describe and genuinely hard to do: when you notice self-focused attention taking over, pause, ask "What does this moment call for?" and do the next best thing, imperfectly. You'll get pulled back into self-monitoring. That's okay. That's actually the practice. That's where the real strength is built.    About: The Joy Lab Podcast is an Ambie-nominated podcast that blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, anxiety, and depression.

A: Start with small committed actions (not big goals) that are aligned with your values and take those small actions even when you feel doubtful or uncomfortable. These small actions are the most important starting point, they collect evidence your nervous system can learn from (I can do it!), and the feeling of confidence can follow those small actions.   Q: Why does my anxiety get worse when I'm in the middle of doing something I care about? A: That's self-focused attention. Your energy and focus gets redirected from the task to self-monitoring and threat-detection; this episode explains the neuroscience, introduces the shift to task-focused attention, and gives you a simple one-question reset to bring your prefrontal cortex back online.   Key moments: [00:00] Welcome to the final episode of the Confidence series — committed action, the last step [00:30] Recap of the series: Ep. 274 (being with discomfort), Ep. 275 (unhooking from thoughts), Ep. 276 (clarifying values) — now it's time to act [01:00] Quoting Dr. Russ Harris: "The actions of confidence come first; the feelings of confidence come later." [01:30] Henry: up until now, we've done the inner work — now it's time for the outer work [02:00] Committed action: moving toward what matters even when uncomfortable, doubtful, or uncertain [02:30] ACT's psychological flexibility: being present with thoughts, feelings, and sensations without letting them stop you [03:30] The amygdala learns through action: "Oh, I just handled that. This isn't as dangerous as I thought." Over time the alarm quiets — not because you forced it, but because you gave it evidence that you can do hard things [04:30] Aimee: psychological flexibility is at the heart of courage and confidence — it's not the absence of self-doubt, it's the ability to be with it [06:00] Experiencing anxiety during a task is not a reliable predictor of performance — that is liberating [07:00] The real performance problem: not the anxiety, but the anxiety about the anxiety — self-focused attention [07:30] Self-focused attention: running assessments about being judged, picking apart your performance in real time, obsessing over the shaky voice or red patches [08:00] Russ Harris's hands-over-eyes metaphor: your thoughts are your hands — self-focused attention is covering your eyes with them [09:30] Cognitive defusion creates the space — unhook from the thoughts, shift attention to the task [10:00] The task-focused question: "What does this moment call for? What can I do right now?" [11:00] Self-focused attention takes the prefrontal cortex partially offline; shifting to task-focused attention brings the prefrontal cortex back online — clearer thinking, more flexibility, better performance [12:30] You don't have to wait until self-critical thoughts stop — you can have them AND shift your attention to the task [14:00] You'll get pulled back into self-focus — that's okay; that's another repetition, another chance to reset [15:30] This is why Joy Lab's experiments lean on mindfulness — the practice of returning attention is the whole skill [16:00] Rather than big hairy audacious goals — work on what we've already built: defusing thoughts, clarifying values, task-focused attention [17:30] As confidence builds in one area, it spreads to others — "I can do hard things" becomes a foundation [19:00] Confidence is not a destination — it's an ongoing practice; some days self-doubt is louder, and the practice is showing up anyway [20:00] Dr. Anne Wilson Schaef: "Perfectionism is not a quest for the best. It is a pursuit of the worst in ourselves." [20:30] Small imperfect actions are part of the best of who we are — that resilient nature to take small steps that build [20:45] Joy Lab final Experiment for the Element of Confidence is available [21:00] Closing wisdom from Vincent van Gogh: "Great things are done by a series of small things brought together."    Like and follow Joy Lab on Socials:  Instagram Linkedin Facebook YouTube   Please remember that this content is for informational and educational purposes only.

Has your teen ever looked you directly in the eye and told you something you knew was not true?Teen lying can make you question more than the story your teen is telling you. It can make you question your relationship, your judgment, and whether you can trust anything they say.When you are parenting on your own, this can feel especially destabilizing. You may not have another parent in the home to compare notes with, and you may feel completely responsible for figuring out what is true and how serious the situation is.Your instinct may be to ask more questions, present more evidence, increase the consequences, or keep arguing until your teen finally admits what happened. Unfortunately, turning the conversation into a courtroom often creates more defensiveness and denial—not more honesty.In Episode 283 of The Single Parenting Reset Show, Tess Connolly, LCSW, explains how you can address dishonesty without destroying communication with your tween or teen.In this episode, you will learn:Why tweens and teens lie, hide information, or tell partial truthsThe difference between healthy privacy and unsafe secrecyHow to regulate yourself before investigating what happenedWhy trap questions and forced confessions usually backfireHow to begin with the facts you reliably knowHow to choose consequences that connect directly to the behaviorWhat your teen can do to begin rebuilding trustWhen repeated lying may require additional professional supportYou do not have to pretend the lie did not matter in order to protect your relationship.You also do not have to damage the relationship in order to hold your teen accountable.The goal is to make honesty more possible while main⭐Got screen time problems at home?

You've likely had a situation where you wish you had confidence, but instead felt full of self-criticism, self-judgement, imposter feelings, and anxiety. The good news is that skills like cognitive defusion (the practice of loosening the grip that self-critical thoughts have on you) can help tremendously to help you get some space from those overwhelming thoughts. We'll dig into these thoughts in this episode, explore why they rise up, and introduce some practical tips and strategies to help you work with them. These powerful mental health tips will help create some space between you and your thoughts, helping you to take actions that build your confidence.    About: The Joy Lab Podcast is an Ambie-nominated podcast that blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, anxiety, and depression.

A: This episode teaches cognitive defusion, a practice from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) that loosens the grip self-critical thoughts have on you without fighting or suppressing them; two specific techniques that we added in this episode (the "thank you, brain" method and psychological distancing) give you practical tools to use in the moment.   Q: What's the difference between managing stress and actually changing my relationship with difficult thoughts? A: Stress management techniques are like inner tubes that are genuinely helpful for keeping your head above water. Cognitive defusion goes deeper, shifting you from reactive management to a more fundamental change in your relationship with the thought; this episode explains the distinction and why both have a place.   Key moments: [00:00] Welcome back to the Element of Confidence — introducing cognitive defusion as this episode's core skill [01:00] Sometimes thoughts aren't peaceful branches on a stream — they're the Bunker Hills Wave Pool, circa late '80s [02:30] The lifeguard metaphor as an upgrade to the peaceful river observer — seasoned, present, with a broader view [03:00] The kinds of thoughts that come in like waves: "I'm never gonna get this. I'll embarrass myself. I always screw up. Everyone will think I'm an imposter." [03:30] When thoughts overwhelm: stress response surges, the only thought becomes "how do I get out of this?" [03:45] Reminder: if thoughts are feeling truly overwhelming, reaching out for extra support — therapist, NAMI helpline, 988 — is always an option [04:30] When we stop fusing with or fighting thoughts, they start to get smaller over time [05:30] How fusion works physically: heart rate rises, palms sweat, decisions made from the fused belief [06:00] The thought is not reality — it's neural activity generated by past experience, fear, or ingrained patterns [06:30] Cognitive defusion: loosening the grip, creating space between you and the thought [07:30] Defusion vs. positive thinking or cognitive restructuring: this doesn't fight the thought, it changes the relationship with it [08:30] Aimee introduces self-as-content vs. self-as-context from ACT [09:30] Stress management as inner tubes: helpful for riding waves, but you're still in the pool managing the waves [10:00] Self-as-context: the lifeguard — noticing "I've seen that wave before," seeing the bigger picture, able to take wiser action [10:30] From the lifeguard perspective: "The waves are uncomfortable, but they'll die down" — and you can give yourself true support [11:30] Henry: stress management is great and important — AND it keeps us in reactive mode; defusion is a different level [13:30] Henry on perfectionism and defusion: if you believe you need to be perfect to be confident, you'll become hypervigilant about thoughts [14:30] The truth: you don't have to be perfect; when you accept doubt and mistakes as normal, imperfect thoughts become no big deal [15:00] Aimee: strategies for defusion — not to dispute the thought, but to notice it and loosen its grip [17:00] Strategy 1 — Psychological distancing: "I'm noticing that I'm having the thought that..." instead of just "I'm going to blow it"   [19:00] Adding levity: say the phrase in the silliest voice you can — trailer narrator, romance novel narrator, sports commentator [20:00] Henry introduces Strategy 2 — "Thank you, brain" [20:30] How it works: immediately positions you as observer; paradoxically accepts rather than fights; carries humor that defuses in the moment [22:30] Aimee: this is not about forcing a feeling or suppressing thoughts — it's about letting them matter less [23:00] Connection to last Element (Humility) and right-sizing: letting thoughts take up the space they need, no more, no less [23:30] Preview of next episode: values — what we care about, so we can choose where to put our energy and take action toward confidence [23:45] Closing wisdom from Eckhart Tolle: "The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive... It is not so much that you use your mind wrongly — you usually don't use it at all. It uses you."    Like and follow Joy Lab on Socials:  Instagram Linkedin Facebook YouTube   Please remember that this content is for informational and educational purposes only.

Welcome to another episode of Perspective Checks where I sit down with friends and folks from the TTRPG world and discuss what they love about this wonderful hobby!   This month I'm joined by Ciera, a.k.a. RagePandaPajamas around the internet! Ciera is a media theory enthusiast who loves to look at and review TTRPG actual plays through a critical academic lens, as well as an author on the blog The Fandomentals, a theater & live production designer, and designer of the GM-less game Leave A Message After the Tone!   We don't get anywhere as deep as we could have into this topic, but the idea of looking into the evolving landscape of actual play performances in all of their forms from audio to video to written, with various intentions and goals to achieve different experiences was such an interesting talk. We discuss a lot about what it means to put your game out there in the world for an audience and how you don't need to strive to be like the bigger productions or do something entirely new to find your niche, but you do need to commit to learning and improving your craft.   Some of the books Ciera mentions are: Radio Drama & other essays on audio dramas by Tim Crook The Fantasy Role-Playing Game: A New Performing Art by Daniel Mackay Watch Us Roll: Essays on Actual Play by Shelly Jones et al.

This is a conversation I have with Anne de Leyser. Anne leads Local House of Prayer, the movement that grew out of Ffald y Brenin and The Grace Outpouring, and we get into what over ten years of listening to God's whispers has taught her about ordinary people carrying real authority right where they already live.We talk about praying "teach me how to pray" instead of assuming you already know, why the way you hear God looks different from anyone else's and that's not something to fix, kids who heard God before anyone taught them to, the difference between asking God to bless someone and speaking that blessing over them, and what she's learned about chronos time, kairos time, and not giving up right before the breakthrough.Chapters:00:00 A Boy's Words That Set Her Free01:53 The Story Behind The Grace Outpouring04:43 "I Don't Know How to Pray" and Why That's Okay10:39 How Local House of Prayer Was Born18:11 It's About Your Yes, Not Your Ability20:29 Kids Who Heard God Before Anyone Taught Them To24:51 Forty Countries, No Budget, and a Hobbit Adventure33:44 The Fossil Museum and the Words That Freed Her48:19 Speaking Blessing Instead of Just Asking for It56:01 Sons of Issachar and a Call to National PrayerIf you want to learn how to better hear God, sign up for the next Hearing God Challenge - https://hearinggodchallenge.com/Resources mentioned:

Every coach has had that moment. You're staring at your calendar, seeing a client's name, and feeling a knot in your stomach. Maybe they keep canceling. Maybe they're not doing the work. Maybe you've been dancing around a problem for weeks because you don't know how to bring it up. The difficult client conversation is the one most coaches avoid — until they can't anymore. And by then, the issue has often gotten worse. This episode is the finale of our five-part series, "The Conversations That Build Coaching Businesses." We're wrapping up with the conversation most coaches dread — and the one that can make the biggest difference in your coaching practice and your peace of mind. I'm walking you through five of the most common difficult client situations, what's really going on underneath each one, and exactly how to have the conversation with clarity and kindness. In this episode, I cover: Why coaches avoid difficult conversations (and what happens when we do) The client who's not doing the work — how to name the pattern without shaming, and when to have a bigger conversation about fit The client who keeps canceling or rescheduling — how to hold your boundary while staying compassionate The client who wants you to tell them what to do — how to hold the coaching stance without being rigid The client who's made no progress in weeks (or months) — how to address the plateau and explore what's really going on When and how to end a coaching relationship — how to have the conversation with integrity and grace A simple framework for any difficult conversation: curiosity, honesty, kindness, clarity, follow-through Series episodes: Episode 89: How to Get More Coaching Clients Through Referrals (Without Feeling Salesy) Episode 90: How to Network as a Coach (Even If You Hate Networking) Episode 92: How to Follow Up After a Discovery Call That Didn't Convert (Without Feeling Salesy or Desperate) Episode 93: The Price Conversation: What to Say, Whether to Post Your Rates, and How to Pre-Qualify with Confidence Episode 94: Five Difficult Client Conversations Every Coach Needs to Know How to Have (Without Damaging the Relationship) ← You are here Resources & Links: Get Clients Now FREE Masterclass Business Building Support — anytime The Confident Coaching Skills Intensive — now available self-guided Get It Done: Private Coaching with Wendy

What if the marketing content you create today was still bringing in leads, clicks, affiliate income, and clients a year from now?Because that's exactly what Pinterest can do.And if you're anything like me, you've probably been treating Pinterest like that app you open when you're planning a trip, redecorating your apartment, or convincing yourself you'll start meal prepping next week. But after this conversation with Pinterest strategist Laura England, I'm officially reconsidering everything.In this episode, we're talking about why creators, travel bloggers, business owners, coaches, and service providers need to stop chasing one-hit-wonder content and start building marketing assets that compound over time.Laura shares how she grew a Pinterest account from virtually zero to over a million monthly impressions, why Pinterest works more like Google than Instagram, and the exact strategy she uses to help clients generate long-term traffic without posting 24/7.If you've been relying entirely on Instagram, TikTok, or short-form content to grow your business, this episode might just change your marketing strategy forever.In This Episode, We Cover:Why Pinterest is one of the most underrated marketing platforms in 2026The difference between short-term marketing and sustainable marketingHow Pinterest traffic compounds over timeWhy creators and business owners should think like search engines, not social media algorithmsThe Pinterest SEO strategy every beginner should knowHow to use Pinterest Trends to predict future search trafficCommon Pinterest mistakes that hurt reach and visibilityHow travel creators can use Pinterest to drive blog traffic, affiliate sales, and inquiriesWhy linking directly to affiliate links can hurt your Pinterest strategyHow to create Pinterest boards that actually help the algorithm understand your brandThe role of keywords, alt text, and SEO in Pinterest growthWhy LinkedIn and Pinterest are Laura's favorite sustainable marketing platformsThe surprising reason most creators quit Pinterest too earlyKey TakeawaysPinterest is a Search Engine, Not a Social PlatformMost creators approach Pinterest like Instagram. That's the mistake.Pinterest behaves much more like Google, meaning users are actively searching for solutions, inspiration, and products. The content you publish today can continue generating traffic months—or even years—from now.Sustainable Marketing Beats Constant Content CreationInstead of constantly creating content that disappears after 24 hours, Laura encourages creators to build marketing assets that continue working long after they're published.Think:PinterestEmail marketingBloggingLinkedInPodcastsYouTubeThese channels compound over time rather than requiring daily visibility.Pinterest Rewards PatienceUnlike TikTok, where content can go viral overnight and disappear just as quickly, Pinterest content often takes 2–3 months to gain traction.But once it starts ranking, it can continue sending traffic for years.Pinterest Trends Is Your Secret WeaponPinterest literally tells you what's going to trend before it trends.Using Pinterest Trends allows creators to publish content months in advance and position themselves at the top of search results when demand peaks.Your Website Should Be the DestinationLaura recommends sending Pinterest traffic primarily to:Blog postsPodcast episodesEmail opt-insLong-term content assetsEvergreen sales pagesResources Mentioned:Pinterest TrendsPinterest Business AccountsPinterest SEOLinkedIn MarketingEmail Marketing StrategiesSustainable Marketing FrameworksConnect with Laura EnglandNEXT: Check out Episode 119 on why you need to be on LinkedIn like YESTERDAYLaura England is the founder of The Writer's Harbor, where she helps female founders market sustainably through Pinterest marketing, email marketing, and strategic copywriting.Her philosophy is simple: build marketing systems that continue working even when you're not.Find Laura and learn more about The Writer's Harbor:Follow Laura on Instagram Join her Sustainable Marketing Diary newsletterSign up for my newsletter, the Content Compass, the weekly newsletter for travel creators who are already landing brand deals and are ready to build the business behind their content.Get five shifts that will take you from travel creator to business owner with actionable next steps included.

This is the episode for every triathlete with ambitions in sprint and Olympic distance triathlon, from beginners looking to complete to front-of-the-pack athletes looking to compete. Triathlon training has similarities across the board from sprint to Ironman distance, but the specific training obviously differs between distances, and in this episode we break down exactly, when, why and how. Let's get stuck in!  HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS:  How long does it take to prepare for a sprint or an Olympic distance race if you're a beginner? What about an intermediate to advanced triathlete?  Key sessions in swimming, cycling and running for sprint and Olympic distance triathletes How long should your long run and ride be as a sprint or Olympic distance triathlete?  What role does brick workouts play in sprint and Olympic Distance triathlon training?  Why tapering is much harder to get right for shorter than for longer races, and how to actually do it.  Key considerations if you're racing draft-legal rather than non-draft sprint and Olympic distance races Sample training week for an Olympic distance triathlon Listener questions!  DETAILED EPISODE SHOWNOTES:  We have detailed shownotes for all of our episodes. The shownotes are basically the podcast episode in written form, that you can read in 5-10 minutes. They are not transcriptions, but they are also not just surface-level overviews.
