College campuses all have their stories… but some campuses have legends that still walk their grounds. A student expected nothing more than a freezing late-night trek across campus after a long night of procrastinating in the library. What he found instead was a scent, a shadow, and a figure sitting calmly in the snow where no living nun should have been. And that was just the beginning. Because he wasn't the only one having experiences there. A campus secret society—dedicated to preserving the school's stranger history—found themselves face-to-face with something else entirely: a childlike presence that didn't just appear… it interacted. Pulled. Reached out. Why were these spirits still lingering?  What happened inside Egan Hall decades earlier? And why did so many students, skeptics included, walk away from these encounters believing something on campus was still waiting?  Love real ghost stories?

Some hauntings don't cling to houses — they cling to people. They slip into a life quietly, rearranging objects, bending routines, and whispering their presence into the smallest moments… until years later, you realize they never left. What began in a simple Iowa City apartment surrounded by headstones evolved into something far more personal: a force that followed him through duty stations, breakups, new homes, and even fatherhood. It learned him. Adjusted to him. Grew bolder with every move. And no matter how many miles he put between himself and the past, the past kept finding him — opening doors, rearranging belongings, speaking in empty houses, and watching his loved ones in the dark. This is not the story of a place. It is the story of an attachment. One that has waited decades. One that has grown patient. One that still isn't finished. #paranormalattachment #hauntedlife #entityfollows #unexplainedactivity #darkpresence #lifelonghaunting #shadowwatcher #paranormalstories #thegravetalks #hauntingsurvivor Love real ghost stories?

In this replay from Season 1 Episode 9 of the 2 Be Better Podcast, Chris and Peaches tackle the real side of traditional marriage, trauma, and mental health with raw, unfiltered honesty. They respond to criticism about their appearance, talk openly about troubled pasts, depression, suicidal thoughts, and why they choose to show up for “the broken” instead of trying to impress people who already have perfect-looking lives. You'll hear powerful conversations about validation, why feelings are information and not weakness, why suffering in silence destroys people, and how a single moment of listening and empathy can literally save a life. This episode is for anyone searching for real talk on healing, self-worth, faith, and taking ownership of your life instead of staying stuck in victim mentality.They also dive deep into sex and intimacy in marriage, including high vs low libido, sexless marriages, weaponized intimacy, nagging, and what it really means to be a stay-at-home wife in a traditional, faith-centered relationship. You'll hear coaching around lazy partners who won't work, setting timelines for change, financial stress, postpartum depression and creative burnout, grief after losing a parent, and how to let your husband lead in finances without losing your strength as a woman. Expect straight-forward marriage advice, practical communication tools, real examples from listener emails, and tough-love guidance on boundaries, leadership, submission, respect, and rebuilding attraction in your relationship.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you stripped away every distraction —  your screens, your routines, and even your ability to see? What hidden thoughts would rise to the surface? What suppressed emotions would finally have room to move? And what would catch up to you that you have been running from, for potentially years. In this episode, I sit down with Scott Berman, the founder of Sky Cave Retreats, which is the first darkness retreat center in the United States. Scott has spent more than 70 days in total darkness and has guided over 600 people through this profound inner journey. And after doing a darkness retreat myself, I finally understand why SkyCaves is booked out for 3 years and has a 3000-person waitlist. Darkness itself is a threat to the nervous system. And Scott lets everyone know who signs up that their system will probably not react the way they anticipate. He shares that the only thing one needs to bring is HONESTY, and what happens to those who don't.  I share my experience during 4 nights and 3 days in pitch blackness and the profound breakthroughs that occurred when I stopped running from, escaping, and numbing my deepest, rawest feelings. This episode is for anyone curious about nervous system healing, the addiction to the stories that hijack our minds, or what becomes possible when you meet yourself with honesty, zero distractions, and the primordial pressure of the dark. Scott is a beautiful human who leaves us with this question before we enter the cave and turn off the lights: “What would nurture do in this moment?” The answer is usually what we should follow to create the safety in our system we are all searching for.    This episode is for all those who are afraid of the dark and those who are afraid of the parts of themselves that may be trapped in the darkest recesses of their subconscious. Luckily, Scott has the compassion, calm, and skills to hold our hand through it all.  Key Moments You'll Love ✨:

I was out drinking martinis with Cora Opsahl, director of 32BJ Health Fund, and Cora said, "Look, most plan sponsors' biggest expense is health system spend, hospital spend." I know this is an unexpected start to an episode about pharmaceutical pricing and value featuring Sarah Emond, CEO of ICER (Institute for Clinical and Economic Review). But yeah, 50% of most plan sponsors' spend these days goes to health systems. Fifty percent! One half! For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. So, if a patient who is adherent to a drug and that drug keeps that patient out of the hospital, why do I want to make a patient have excessive skin in the game to get that drug, which everybody knows at this point this "skin in the game" can cause said patient to not be adherent in many cases, cost being a very big reason patients give for not taking medications as prescribed. So then we have this not adherent patient who winds up in the hospital, via the ER often enough. The core issue here that surfaced, bottom line—and I'm not sure if this was in spite of the martinis or as a result of them—but while hospital spend is the largest health expense, high-value drugs that prevent hospitalization often face patient cost sharing and access restrictions, which leads to poor patient adherence and ultimately higher system cost potentially. So then Cora and I spent the next half hour debating when the statement is empirically true and when it's not. And you know what it all boils down to? What's the value of the drug? Do we even know what that means to start? But if it's determined that the drug is relatively high value, then the plan desperately should want to do everything possible to keep that patient on that medication, and cost sharing is a huge barrier to adherence. Today, as I said, I'm speaking with Sarah Emond, CEO over at ICER, and we get into all of this in the conversation that follows. In fact, most of the conversation that follows explores the tensions that exist in the current way that we sell and buy pharmaceutical products. I'm just gonna sum up these tensions in a list here at the top of this show. There's six of them that Sarah Emond and I discussed today by my counting, and each of these we explore in some depth. So, here's the list. Tension 1: The value of any given drug (in other words, what is the fair price for that drug considering the health gains that it delivers) versus the total cost to the plan for the total population taking that drug. GLP-1s have entered the chat. GLP-1s (by ICER's analysis, at least) are super high-value drugs that also can bankrupt plans due to the number of folks who may benefit from taking the drug. Definitely a tense tension to kick off our list here. Tension 2: The list or net price of a drug versus patient access and affordability. Again, this can be tense in an area of much misalignment. You can have a great well-priced drug with huge patient affordability and access challenges because drug net price and coinsurance amounts often have nothing to do with each other. Tension 3: Lifetime value of a drug versus a 3-, 2.5-year, whatever time horizon that many plan sponsor actuaries use in their value assessment. We discussed this today, but there's a Summer Short (SUMS7) on actuarial value horizons with Keith Passwater and JR Clark if you wanna dig in on this further. Tension 4: The tension between the societal value of a drug or even the patient's perceived value of a drug versus what an employer plan sponsor might perceive as the value. What is the formula used to determine value? What's in and what's out? So, that's a bigger conversation just beyond the time horizon for what's included in this calculation. Tension 5: Exacerbating the what's included in the value contemplation beyond just what you include in there is the tension between what is hypothetically of value and what is possible to measure. If you have pharma datasets and medical datasets separate in silos, who knows how many hospital readmissions were prevented by whatever drug? And how much presenteeism or absenteeism exists. I mean, it is an outlier, again, if anyone even knows the net price they paid for a drug, just to level set context here. Tension 6: Lowering financial barriers for patients to take drugs that are of value versus status quo goals and incentives. Like, for example, PBMs (pharmacy benefit managers) are often told that their goal is to reduce drug spend. Okay … so, how do I do that? Oh, reduce access either by prior auths or delay tactics or really high coinsurance, which is gonna reduce adherence by design. And it's someone else's problem—if I'm just thinking like a status quo PBM—if medical spend goes up, right? So, that's our last and not insignificant tension. And look, who comes out the loser in all of these tensions when they get tense? Patients. Not pricing based on value and not buying and setting up cost sharing based on value punishes patients and also plan sponsors or any other ultimate purchaser in the long term, given that the plan is but a population of patients if you start thinking about it in that context. Here is Sarah's advice in a nutshell: Pharma, sell. Pick your price based on something other than market power. And some pharma companies are actually dipping their toe into these waters and doing it. But then PBMs and plan sponsors have to hold up their end of the bargain here and buy drugs based on their value, not just the size of their rebates or some other discounting promise. And then we gotta continue the through line through to member affordability and access. High-value drugs should get preferred. So, right, do a high-value formulary. Listen to the show with Nina Lathia, RPh, MSc, PhD (EP426) on high-value formularies and then listen (after you're done with that one) to episode 435 with Dan Mendelson entitled "Optimized Pharmacy Benefits Are Required if You Want to Do or Buy Value-Based Care." Also, as I said, GLP-1s come up in this conversation, so … yeah, buckle up. One last thing, besides my normal thank you to Aventria Health Group for sponsoring this episode, I am so pleased to thank Payerset for donating to help Relentless Health Value stay on the air. Payerset is a price transparency company with a mission to create fair and equitable healthcare for everyone. Love that.

I'm fascinated with the idea that we are to love God with all of our minds. The Bible sees the mind as a place of our thoughts, judgment, and intention.  Our minds allow us to be rational, weigh evidence, make decisions about right and wrong, and to develop opinions.  Our minds allow us to worship, praise God, love, repent, and trust.Main Points:1. Why is it important to consider loving God with our minds?  Because during a typical day, we constantly use our minds to make decisions.  How many thoughts pass through your mind every day?  Several studies have shown that we think around 6,000 thoughts per day. Our mind is a huge part of who we are. 2. Loving God with our minds is critical because our minds are connected to our emotions and our actions.3. God gives us the power to change how we think, so through even our thoughts, we are loving and honoring God. Today's Scripture Verses:Mark 12:29-30 - “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'”2 Corinthians 10:5 – “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” Colossians 3:2 - “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”Romans 12:2  - “Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”Colossians 1:9 - “So we have not stopped praying for you since we first heard about you. We ask God to give you complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

Probably the best plan out there. Plenty of hot takes this week including which of the Stranger Things kids acting chops have improved and which…um…still need work. Brandi thinks the DWTS finale was a crime, Wells computer may have dementia, and a very slick Tiktok christmas tree got the wrong kind of decorations. Brandi is getting stoked for Cowboy Christmas, Stumble is the mockumentary you need to add to your queue, and if you fought with your Boomer uncle this Thanksgiving, just remember — you've got about four weeks before round two at Christmas.

Are you really in control of your life, or are you being unconsciously driven by old stories, buried trauma, and misleading intuition? In this powerful episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Sue Morter—renowned international speaker, Bio-Energetic Medicine pioneer, and author of The Anatomy of Awakening—reveals how to finally break free from the narrative running your life and step into the highest version of yourself. Dr. Sue explains why anchoring into your present body is the key to escaping fear loops, anxiety, paranoia, nervousness, and survival-mode thinking...and how to transform that stuck energy into creativity, passion, movement, purpose, and unstoppable tenacity. She shares practical, real-world tools to shift your internal state, elevate your frequency, and choose a worldview where the universe is actually working for you, not against you. You'll learn how to tell when your intuition is misleading you—triggering false “unsafe” signals that hold you back from the next stage of life—and how to distinguish true guidance from subconscious fear. Dr. Sue breaks down the hidden implications of being driven by the trauma stored in your subconscious, and how to rewrite these old memories to unlock your next chapter. She reveals why “safety” shouldn't be your primary goal, and how energy vibration changes the moment your mind, body, and breath unite into wholeness. You'll also discover how meditation reconnects you to the soul, plus an accessible breakdown of chakras, levels of consciousness, and the vibrational frequency of love—along with the specific energy centers that determine your life path and soul purpose. Dr. Sue even opens up about her own radical spiritual awakening - triggered by transcendental meditations she began to heal her chronic migraines. (Her experiences lifted her into a realm above the earth, where she realized we are all made of pure light!) We dive deep into the physical manifestations of buried trauma, the truth about your multidimensional nature, and how anyone can use remote healing to send and receive transformative energy across space and time. At the heart of it all? Love—the ultimate vibrational mechanism that gives you access to higher consciousness! If you're ready to shift your entire energy system, expand your awareness, and rewrite the story of your life, this is the episode of MBB you don't want to miss.

Now, he returns to focus his brilliant philosophical and analytical brain to the perpetual human question: how to find true love, then nurture and sustain it. He joins me to discuss the three most frequent mistakes we make in love - and to explain how AI could be the saving of us. Mo is about to launch a game-changing AI-powered app called Emma that promises to help us all navigate the dating game with compassion and insight.

In this episode of Light of the Way, Ashley opens the month of December with the first real breath after Mercury retrograde. She shares how the snow, the winter sky, and the green ocean trail revealed a new clarity — the kind that arrives only when you stop resisting the season of life that you're in. She speaks about the dark time of year and why aligning with it matters: waking with the sun, slowing down, resting more, going outside, honouring the natural rhythm instead of fighting it. This season isn't meant to be productive; it's meant to soften you open. From there, Ashley shares a miracle that happened in the apple aisle at Whole Foods, and another moment of recognition that followed. These moments brought her into a full understanding that there is no shame in anything we walk through. Everything is unfolding exactly as it should. Finally, she shares what's happening inside A Line Within this month, including the December 20th ceremony, and the inspiring energy she's feeling now that she's broken the glass ceiling she unknowingly placed upon herself. This episode is an opening — to life, to miracles, to winter, and to the truth of why we are here. * * * * * * * * * * * *  The GUIDED Membership: Everyday Support for Your Awakening — workshops, live satsang, tools and community all in one place.

How can you tell whether your pelvic floor is tight, weak, or both? In this episode, I speak with pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Sara Reardon about the confusion so many women feel around leakage, prolapse, painful sex, constipation, and “mystery” pelvic symptoms. Sara shares simple habits, movement tips, and muscle-care strategies that can dramatically improve pelvic health at any age. I'm thrilled to bring her expertise into a conversation that empowers every woman to understand and support her pelvic floor. Dr. Sara Reardon is a board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist who somehow turned a decade of helping women stop leaking, straining, and suffering in silence into the beloved persona “The Vagina Whisperer.” She now runs The V-Hive, teaches pelvic floor fitness online, and helps women of every age finally understand how their bodies work in real, relatable, totally refreshing ways. What you'll learn: (00:34 Why pelvic floor disorders are a “silent epidemic.” (01:49) How pelvic floor issues show up across ages—from young women with painful sex to older adults with bladder problems. (06:05) The many roles of the pelvic floor, including support, stability, bladder control, bowel function, and sexual function. (08:40) Why leakage, pain, and prolapse aren't “normal,” even though they're common. (10:39) The most important daily bladder habits—like not peeing “just in case” and never pushing to pee—that protect pelvic health. (14:36) How to contract your pelvic floor properly during exercise. (16:46) How to identify pelvic floor tension, and why stretching, breathing, and relaxation may matter more than Kegels. (25:02) What prolapse really is, and when therapy versus surgery is recommended. Love the podcast? Here's what to do: Subscribe to the podcast. Leave a review.

Hey, investors! Scott Carson here, and I've got a juicy deal that's hotter than a Texas summer! If your lazy assets (and maybe your self-directed IRA) are sitting idle, this is your chance to put them to work on a prime piece of Georgetown, Texas real estate. This isn't some long-haul, snail-paced investment – we're talking a six-month or less turnaround, with conservative numbers figuring in a year!This beauty is one of 48 reverse mortgages we snagged from a hedge fund. The borrower's already passed, HUD's got it cleaned out, and we're looking at a clean, well-maintained property needing just a little lipstick and a fresh coat of paint. Texas foreclosures are fast, and we've got the team ready to rock and roll. This is a potential 10% (or more!) return on your money, secured with a first lien.Here's the breakdown on this Georgetown Goldmine:The Deceased HUD Gem: A clean, 3-bed, 2-bath, 1,348 sq ft home in Georgetown's hot 78628 ZIP code. Borrower deceased, heirs not fighting, property in good shape (interior inspection available!), needs cosmetic updates only – no structural nightmares.The Numbers Make Sense: Current legal balance: $185K. Conservative Fair Market Value: $297K. We're picking up the note for just $170K. Add back taxes and foreclosure costs, and we need $176K in funding. That's over $112K in built-in equity!Exit Strategy 1: Quick Auction Cash! With a 90-day Texas foreclosure and a $191K legal balance (after taxes), a quick auction sale is likely. You get a guaranteed 10% return on your $176K, paid out even if it sells faster than 90 days. We're talking $4,400+ interest in under three months!Exit Strategy 2: REO Flip for Bigger Bucks! If it doesn't sell at auction (our preferred scenario!), we take it back as an REO. An additional $20K for rehab (total $196K invested) for light cosmetic work. Potential net profit of $52K+ with ROI up to 20% if we're doing a one-year prepayment penalty.Due Diligence & Timeline: Full collateral file, realtor CMAs, title update, HUD interior inspection, and exterior video are all available. We're aiming for mid-December funding to kick off a February foreclosure and a March/June sale. Fast, efficient, and profitable!This isn't just another podcast episode; it's a real-time opportunity. We're looking for funding in December, so if you've got an IRA or some passive investment cash ($176K) burning a hole in your pocket, and you want 10% or more, let's talk!For the full due diligence package, comps, and all the nitty-gritty details, reach out directly!
