Book a free consultation call with Robert Sikes to break through your keto or low-carb plateau: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/callWomen do not build muscle by accident. In Episode 922 of Savage Perspective Podcast, Lilian Estafanous joins Robert Sikes to challenge the fear of getting too big from lifting weights. She shares how a knee injury led her into natural bodybuilding and why real muscle takes years of steady work. They discuss eating enough to grow, simple meal prep, and making time to train while raising a family. Lilian also opens up about harsh contest prep, post-show eating mistakes, and why she added carbs back after trying carnivore. From the gym to the dinner table, this conversation looks at the habits that support strength without letting a body shape or a diet become your whole identity.Follow Lilian on IG: https://www.instagram.com/lolifit_lifts/Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQChapters0:00 - From a Knee Injury to Natural Bodybuilding2:27 - Will Lifting Weights Make Women Too Big?5:39 - Bodybuilding Beyond Looks10:02 - Food Policy and Taking Charge of Your Health17:06 - Raising Kids With Healthy Habits26:19 - Building Strength Without Quick-Fix Promises30:42 - Making Time for Training and Meal Prep36:34 - Eating Enough to Build Muscle39:34 - Contest Prep: More Than Cutting Calories43:28 - Is Competing Right for You?48:48 - Reverse Dieting and Post-Show Eating Mistakes56:38 - Lilian's Carnivore Experiment1:04:57 - Why She Added Carbs Back for Training1:08:11 - Your Diet Is a Tool, Not Your Identity1:10:25 - Discipline Beyond Motivation

It's amazing how much time I can give to work, my phone, errands, and everything else before realizing I've left very little for God. I want to get better at saying no to the noise and yes to time with Him.

Life can become so busy that the things that matter most are crowded out by everything demanding our attention. In Part 6 of Kingdom First, “Making Time for What Matters Most,” we learn from Mary and Martha how to recognize distraction, choose what is needful, and intentionally make room for Christ.

There is a certain amount of time allotted to us all, and we all decide how we are going to spend it. But none of us knows exactly how much of it we have left. So a huge question for all of us is: What will you do with the time you have left? Some never face that issue honestly, thinking that they'll always have plenty of time. Today, let's consider four solid principles that will make the time you have left really count.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens after the stage lights go off?For many bodybuilding competitors, the day after a show can bring an unexpected mix of emotions, exhaustion, hunger, isolation and uncertainty. Regardless of your placing, the physical and mental demands of contest prep don't simply disappear when the competition is over.In this episode, we talk about the post-show dump and how to navigate the transition out of competition mode while respecting what your body and mind have been through.We explore:The Post-Show Emotional Crash - Why highs and lows can hit hard the morning after a competition, regardless of the result.Making Time for Yourself - Why solitude, walking, music and journaling can give you the space to process the experience.Acknowledging What You've Done - Recognising the physical and mental effort that only you truly experienced throughout contest prep.Understanding Your Physiology - Peak condition comes with physiological costs, and fatigue, hunger, hormonal changes and recovery don't disappear overnight.Managing Your Energy - After months of intense focus, your mental bandwidth may be limited, making the return to work, family and everyday responsibilities challenging.Managing Social Commitments - Why it's important not to overload yourself with social plans immediately after a show.Creating Structure - Whether you're reversing out of prep or preparing for another competition, having a clear plan can provide stability during the transition.Normalising the Experience - Mood changes, loneliness and feeling lost after a competition can happen, and you don't have to navigate them alone.Asking for Support - Reaching out to your coach, friends, family or support network isn't weakness; it's an important part of looking after yourself.Competition prep demands an enormous amount from you. When the show is over, recovery becomes the priority.You are allowed to slow down.You are allowed to process what you've just experienced.And you are allowed to recognise just how much you've been through.This is your reminder that the post-show period deserves just as much care, structure and attention as the preparation that came before it.Watch the episode here: https://youtu.be/8pWBeRRP_jA

George Wright III interviews US Marine Corps veteran and serial entrepreneur Anthony Suppa about applying Marine Corps discipline to restaurant leadership, managing people differently, and using failure as a learning tool rather than a stopping point. Suppa explains that motivation should come from accomplishing goals, not the temporary “high” of speakers, and that entrepreneurs must embrace grind, rejection, and persistence. He shares how years of a Toys for Tots toy drive grew into Slice of Charity after partnering with Oheka Castle and hosting events that drew 1,500 people, fueling a mission to help veterans, military families, and children in need. Suppa emphasizes running the charity with volunteers and minimal admin costs, incorporating work into daily life, delegating to grow, and launching Veteran Ally for Commerce to generate profits that fund the charity without relying on donations or grants.00:00 Dream Big Mindset02:02 Marine Corps Lessons in Business03:40 Resilience and Redefining Failure04:49 Motivation vs Discipline Wins06:39 Entrepreneur vs Self Employed Grind07:31 Origin of Slice of Charity10:17 Scaling the Charity with Integrity11:08 Making Time and Work Life Balance12:31 Veteran Ally for Commerce Model13:57 Vision Multitasking and DelegationThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

Show Notes HOST Melody Hartzler | | Book Appointment In Today's Episode In this special retreat episode of Table Talk, the PharmToTable team gathers in Austin, Texas, for an honest conversation about one of the five pillars of health: community. Through personal stories, the team explores how meaningful relationships support healing, resilience, and overall well-being, while sharing practical ways to build intentional connections in every season of life. Key Take Aways Community is essential for health. Strong relationships support emotional well-being, healing, and long-term health just as much as nutrition, movement, and other healthy habits. Building community requires intention. Whether it's joining a book club, scheduling regular dinners, attending a fitness class, or inviting neighbors over, meaningful friendships rarely happen by accident. Your community can evolve over time. As life seasons change, it's okay to outgrow certain relationships and seek connections that better align with who you are today. Shared interests create lasting friendships. Wellness groups, fitness communities, hobby clubs, volunteer organizations, and professional networks can become powerful sources of support. Quality matters more than quantity. A few trusted relationships can have a profound impact on your mental, emotional, and physical health. Chapters Topics Discussed 00:00 – Welcome to the Team Retreat Introducing this special Table Talk episode recorded during the PharmToTable team retreat in Austin, Texas. 00:45 – Why Community Is a Pillar of Health The team discusses why meaningful relationships are essential for physical, emotional, and long-term wellness. 02:00 – Making Time for Connection in Busy Seasons Balancing motherhood, careers, and life's responsibilities while intentionally prioritizing friendships. 04:02 – Finding Community Through Shared Life Stages How parenting, neighborhoods, work, and shared experiences naturally shape our support systems. 06:05 – The Importance of Being Intentional Why putting friendships on the calendar and creating recurring gatherings helps relationships thrive. 06:55 – Isolation, COVID, and the Impact on Health Reflecting on how loneliness affected mental and physical well-being during and after the pandemic. 08:00 – Finding People Who Truly Understand You The value of surrounding yourself with like-minded people who share your interests and values. 10:08 – When Friendships Change Over Time How personal growth can lead to evolving relationships and the importance of embracing new communities. 12:00 – Community as Part of the Healing Journey Why support from others can be just as important as nutrition, supplements, and medical care. 14:05 – Building Healthy Habits Together How supportive communities encourage better nutrition, movement, and other lasting lifestyle changes. 15:25 – Letting Go and Finding the Right Community Navigating the grief of outgrowing relationships while creating space for new connections. 17:10 – Practical Ways to Build Community Ideas including book clubs, cooking clubs, wellness events, fitness groups, and hobby-based gatherings. 23:10 – Hospitality, Neighbors, and Everyday Connection Simple ways to build stronger relationships through shared meals, neighborhoods, and intentional hospitality. 28:05 – The Courage to Reach Out Overcoming introversion, starting conversations, and taking the first step toward meaningful friendships. 32:10 – Why Shared Experiences Strengthen Relationships How retreats, shared homes, and everyday moments create deeper, more authentic connections. 34:15 – Quality Over Quantity Closing reflections on why even a small circle of trusted people can have a profound impact on health and well-being.

We all have busy lives in that busyness we have work, family, relationships and friends and of course bills.but through all of that you also have a purpose to pursue; a dream to chase in order to make it happen you must learn how to make time for your purpose after or before work.and in this episode I'll be breaking it all down so tune and join the conversation as we discuss all this and more.

In this episode of Defend, Publish, and Lead, Christine Tulley argues that writing project management isn't separate from the scholarly writing process but an essential part of it, since standard "writing process" models (drafting, revising, publishing) only look at a single project in isolation and ignore how projects interact. She lays out four reasons why writing project management is a built in part of the scholarly writing process.

El momento de apogeo de aquel Swinging London empapó la capital británica de colores, libertad y optimismo, con la selección de Inglaterra, anfitriona del Mundial, ganando la copa ese mismo verano.Imposible abarcar con unas pocas canciones lo que ocurrió en el año más rompedor e innovador en la historia del pop y el rocknroll, pero está podría ser una buena banda sonora.(Foto del podcast por Franz Lazi)Playlist;THE ROLLING STONES “Paint it black”THE BEATLES “Paperback writer”THE HOLLIES “Bus stop”THE KINKS “Sunny afternoon”DONOVAN “Sunshine Superman”THE WHO “Substitute”SMALL FACES “All or nothing”GEORGIE FAME and THE BLUE FLAMES “Get Away”THE SPENCER DAVIS GROUP “Somebody help me”PRINCE BUSTER “Sunshine with my girl”THE YARDBIRDS "Over, under, sideways, down"THE CREATION “Making Time”THE ACTION “I’ll keep on holding on”THE EYES “When the night falls”DUSTY SPRINGFIELD “Goin’ Back”CHRIS FARLOWE “Out of time”THE BEATLES “Tomorrow never knows”Escuchar audio

We all say we need to “find more time,” but the truth is… you'll rarely find something you're not intentionally creating.In this week's Motivational Monday, I dive into the mindset shift between finding time and making time. When you're waiting for the perfect moment, life usually gets in the way. But when you decide something matters and intentionally create space for it, that's when progress happens.Whether it's your health, your family, your faith, your business, or your biggest goals, success doesn't come from finding extra time—it comes from making it.If you've been waiting for the right moment to get started, this episode is your reminder that the right moment is the one you create.All things Coop https://beacons.ai/cooperwahlojr

Making Time for Jesus In Marriage by Ebenezer Endiryas

In this episode, I chat with a kindred spirit, another Rebecca artist. Rebecca Pliner shares about her art business illustrating treasured recipes for friends and family. Then we talk about how to stay motivated when you are discouraged. We talk about the ups and the downs of creating and selling your art. I also share more about the behind-the-scenes of writing my graphic novel. We end off with a discussion about the importance of treating yourself like an artist, creating a spot where you create your art, and making it cute! I really appreciated Rebecca's candidness and honesty in this episode, and it was definitely the pep talk I needed. I hope you enjoy this slightly chaotic, chatty, and hopeful episode.Rebecca Pliner is an artist based in Rehovot, Israel.

Rest to Return is a podcast for a restless world. Kohenet Keshira haLev Fife is your host. This series is rooted in Shabbat, an ancient Jewish practice that teaches us how to belong to time. Here, rest is a sacred rhythm woven into who we are. We continue by gathering around a single question: What makes time sacred? The concept that each of us is created b'tzelem Elohim, in the Divine Image, comes from Genesis 1:27. The first person who I heard crystalise the idea that we need to reach REM sleep in order to dream was Rev Dr Tony Lim, during a gathering of Spiritual Innovators at the Fetzer Institute. The idea that dreaming is one-sixtieth of prophecy comes from Berakhot 57b. The concept of the Jubilee can be found in Leviticus 25:8-16. I first learned about Soli-lunar time from Seasons of our Joy: A Modern Guide to the Jewish Holidays by Reb Arthur Waskow z”l. Geoffrey Chaucer was a writer and poet who lived in the 1300s; he was best known for having written The Canterbury Tales. I learned “Who Make the Future?” at Let My People Sing; the song is by Abigail Bengson of the Bengsons. Enjoy the live version of Lay it Down, Let it Go here. Check out the Rest to Return webpage for photos, info about the Rest to Return retreat, and more! This episode is brought to you by the Institute for Jewish Spirituality. Rest to Return exists because we believe slowing down is a spiritual act. IJS believes that too. For over two decades, IJS has been helping people go deeper, through Jewish mindfulness meditation, contemplative prayer, sacred text study, and embodied practice. Their offerings range from online courses and silent retreats to immersive cohort programs for seekers of all experience levels, clergy, and spiritual leaders who are ready to live and lead from a more grounded place. Kohenet Keshira haLev Fife is part of IJS's core faculty, and the wisdom you'll hear in this series is very much in that spirit. If this podcast is stirring something in you, IJS is a place to go further. Explore their programs, and more ways to learn and practice with Keshira, at jewishspirituality.org, including: View the latest offerings from IJS in our program catalog Join Keshira and others on retreat this August: Returning Anew Learn more about Shevet, IJS's community for younger adults (20s-30s) IJS has several online free practices with Keshira and our other faculty including our live Daily Sit, our weekly Shevet Sit for younger adults (under 40), and monthly Affinity Sits for Jews of Color, LGBTQ+, and individuals with disabilities.

In this episode of Walk, Don't Run to the Doctor, Miles Hassell MD explains why optimal health starts in your own kitchen. While many people search for health shortcuts through supplements, special testing, weight-loss medications, and wellness trends, the evidence points to a much simpler solution: cooking more of your own meals using real, minimally processed foods. Dr. Hassell discusses how home-cooked meals can reduce the risk of chronic disease, improve weight management, save money, and help create lifelong healthy habits. He also shares practical strategies for learning to cook, planning ahead, and making healthy eating realistic even with a busy schedule. Key Takeaways • Cooking at home is strongly associated with lower rates of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer, obesity, and other chronic illnesses. • Highly processed foods make up the majority of many modern diets and are linked to numerous health problems. • Restaurant meals and packaged "health foods" often contain hidden processed ingredients, refined carbohydrates, and additives. • Whole, minimally processed foods naturally promote fullness and can reduce daily calorie intake without strict dieting. • Sustainable lifestyle habits often provide better long-term results than relying on supplements, testing, or weight-loss medications. • Learning to cook does not require expensive equipment or advanced skills—simple recipes and repetition build confidence. • Meal planning and preparation are essential for making healthy eating convenient and sustainable. • Cooking at home can save significant money while improving health and quality of life. 00:00 Introduction – Why You Have to Cook 00:00:41 The New Food Pyramid and the Importance of Home Cooking 00:02:25 How Cooking at Home Reduces Disease Risk and Saves Money 00:03:01 The Hidden Dangers of Highly Processed Foods 00:05:23 Whole Foods vs. Processed Foods for Weight Management 00:06:53 Misleading "Health Foods" and Marketing Claims 00:08:14 Building a Foundation of Good Food, Activity, and Purpose 00:09:00 Learning to Cook: Simple Steps for Beginners 00:10:07 Making Time for Cooking and Reordering Priorities 00:11:17 Meal Planning Strategies for a Healthier Life References: Dicken, S.J., et al.

In this episode, Kyia sits down with her husband Jake for an honest conversation about one of the most underrated parts of a healthy relationship, actually being present with each other. They open up about the moments that made them realize intentionality isn't optional, what quality time really means to each of them, and the small rhythms that have made the biggest difference in their marriage.

Psychedelia is at the core of Zillas on Acid's musical manoeuvres. The Philadelphian duo, made up of Thomas Roland and James Weissinger, have been DJing together for almost two decades, and you can tell.  There's an intuitiveness to their sets; one that comes from an extended period spent building and evolving together. Their strung out, trippy sound takes cues from post-punk and acid house approached through that psychedelic lens they've become known for. It's no surprise then that they've been closely affiliated with Making Time, the Philadelphia institution helmed by Dave P, that treads similar transcendental terrain. Over the years they've notched up releases for some of our favourite labels, including Optimo Music, Live at Robert Johnson, Les Disques de la Mort and Running Back, and now they're bringing this music to life with their live band, adding vocalist Ari Ratner and bassist Matt O'Hare into the mix. Their latest offering, Rolling The Marble Wheel, comes via our sister label Human Endeavour and is Zillas at their best (not even biased...). Following the release, we asked them to contribute to our Ransom Note mix series. Dive into the Zillas world, it's a trip...

I believe that our relationships, with ourselves and with our loved ones, are the only thing that really matters. And so much of daily life pulls us away from that, which is why it's imperative that you make it a priority through planning. This is why a few of my closest friends and I plan an annual vacation so we can reconnect, because in doing so, we are also helping to feed our own mental wellness.In this episode I'll give you three tips for how you can fit a trip with friends into your life.And get the links to my new audiobook at: BYWDreams.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠NEXT WEEK06/30/2026 A Chat with Jeff Harry who wants to help you "Make work suck less!"RESOURCES5calls.org: make your voice heard!Season of Self-Care: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bywdreams.mailerpage.com/seasonselfcare⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BYWDreams.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Our books: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TinyURL.com/BYWDbooks⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

If you've ever felt like ballet is the first thing to get dropped when life gets busy, this episode is for you.I'm joined by Rebecca Holden, a fellow adult dancer who is also a wife, a mom to a son with autism, and a full-time manager  and someone who has figured out how to make ballet a consistent, guilt-free part of her life. We get into the real,  stuff: how she protects her training days when everything else is competing for that time, how she deals with burnout, and how she navigates taking breaks.Rebecca is also someone who dances at the same studio as her son who participates in an inclusive movement program there, and that part of the conversation is so special.

Submit your writing win to the Courage Files for Season 4!What keeps a writer going through fifteen years of rewrites, rejection, and uncertainty?Middle-grade author Sara F. Shacter joins me to talk about the long journey behind her debut novel, Georgia Watson and the 99% Campaign, and how revision became less about “fixing” the story and more about uncovering its emotional heart.We discuss resilience, imposter syndrome, comparison, and the challenge of staying connected to joy while navigating the publishing process. Sara also shares practical revision strategies, the importance of community, and why progress—not perfection—is what really moves a writing life forward.If you're stuck in the messy middle of revision or questioning whether your story is worth continuing, this episode is a reminder that persistence matters more than getting it right the first time.Timestamps00:00 – Why Revision Matters10:09 – The Premise of Georgia Watson and the 99% Campaign13:48 – The 15-Year Road to Publication22:23 – Revision Tools and Strategies26:49 – Doubt, Comparison, and Staying the Course31:52 – Making Time to Write35:44 – Identity Beyond Publishing40:44 – Progress Over Perfection44:07 – Current Projects and Where to Find Sarah To connect with Sara and read her debut novel, go to her websiteLinks Mentioned: SCBWI: Society of Book Writers and IllustratorsHave a comment or idea about the show?

Writing a book is one of the most overlooked thought leadership moves a female founder can make, and most people go into it completely unprepared.On this episode of Dear FoundHer, Lindsay Pinchuk talks with Ruthie Ackerman, author of The Mother Code and founder of Ignite Writers Collective, about what it actually takes to write and publish a book. Ruthie spent years as a journalist and deputy editor at Forbes Women before losing her job, starting a business, and landing a Random House book deal. Now she helps women in business find their voice on the page, and she's honest about how hard the process is.The publishing world has a glamour problem. Most people picture the finished book, not the 90-page proposal, the years of revision, or the media outreach that a publisher will not do for you. Ruthie lays out what female founders need to know before they commit, including how to choose the right publishing path, what a real publicity strategy looks like, and why treating your book like a business launch is the only approach that works.For anyone building a personal brand and wondering whether a book belongs in that plan, Ruthie also speaks directly to the PR for small business reality. Getting press, landing speaking opportunities, and reaching the right audiences all require the same intentionality you bring to every other part of your business. A book done right is a long-term thought leadership asset, not a project you finish and walk away from.If your story has been sitting in the back of your mind waiting for the right moment, this episode is worth your time.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Thought Leadership Starts With Your Story03:51 Ruthie Ackerman's Path From Forbes to Random House05:59 Getting Laid Off and Launching Ignite Writers Collective08:21 How Ignite Writers Collective Grew During the Pandemic10:35 Starting a Book Three Months After Having a Baby12:08 Five Questions to Ask Before You Write a Book13:57 Traditional Publishing vs. Self-Publishing vs. Hybrid15:50 What a 90-Page Book Proposal Actually Looks Like18:35 Why Authors Have to Be Their Own Marketers20:07 Three Tips for Making Time to Write22:08 What Not to Do When Writing a Book24:10 How to Find a Literary Agent26:41 All the Hats You Have to Wear as an Author28:55 How Ignite Studios Supports Authors End-to-End32:11 Ruthie's Three Actionable Steps for Aspiring AuthorsConnect with Ruthie Ackerman:Follow Ruthie on Instagram Subscribe to The FoundHer Files Follow Dear FoundHer on Instagram Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm Hosted on Acast.

Seminary Update and Book Reviews: Women in Leadership, Political Exile, and Healing or Harm from Misused Scripture Diana shares an update on her seminary studies toward a Master of Divinity to become a hospital chaplain. She explains why she has not republished older episodes and then recommends three books: Preston Sprinkle's From Genesis to Junia, which she is midway through and says is readable yet scholarly on what the Bible says about women in leadership, highlighting many biblical women and themes of servant leadership; Sprinkle's Exiles, on Christians' identity as foreigners whose allegiance is to King Jesus rather than partisan politics; and Dr. Steven Tracy's To Heal Or Harm, focused on how misused scripture can wound abuse survivors and how to apply the Bible redemptively.  00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:33 Life Update and School 06:09 Colorado Conference Plug 07:12 Making Time to Read 08:26 Book Review Genesis to Junia 12:18 Women Leaders in Scripture 22:49 Book Review Exiles 28:04 Book Review To Heal Or Harm 34:22 Mending the Soul Mission 36:43 Wrap Up and Resources 38:57 Closing and Subscribe
