In this episode of the Heal and Restore Podcast, we're asking a thought-provoking question: If you were married to yourself, would you enjoy the relationship?It can be easy to focus on what we wish our spouse would change while overlooking the attitudes, habits, expectations, and emotional patterns we bring into the marriage. But healthy relationships require more than finding the right person—they also require becoming a healthier, more loving, honest, and emotionally available partner.Together, we reflect on questions such as: Are we offering the same patience, grace, affection, communication, and understanding that we desire from our spouse? Are we willing to take responsibility for the ways we contribute to conflict or disconnection? And are we continuing to grow into the husband or wife God has called us to be?This conversation is not about shame, blame, or expecting perfection. It is about honest self-reflection, personal responsibility, and recognizing that meaningful change in a marriage often begins with looking at ourselves.Whether your marriage is strong, struggling, or somewhere in between, we hope this episode encourages you to ask an honest question: Would you marry you?Visit us at www.healandrestorecounseling.com to learn more about our coaching services, helpful resources, and no-cost discovery sessions.

This week we kick things off by reviewing and dissecting The Odyssey, before chatting about the World Cup and discussing the online backlash surrounding the new Somali film starring Sabrina Elba, where she plays a single mother who falls in love with a Jamaican man.We also react to some of the negative comments we've received over the last few episodes and have an honest conversation about criticism, growth and staying true to ourselves.Our first dilemma is from a woman in a long-distance relationship with a man who once agreed to marriage but now seems distant, follows other women online and leaves her questioning whether she's wasting her time.We then read through a viral post where women share the biggest lessons they've learned from past relationships… and the responses are eye-opening.Our second dilemma comes from a wife and mother who feels completely overwhelmed. She's carrying the mental load of raising children, paying bills, receiving little affection or appreciation from her husband and admits she's emotionally checked out of the marriage.We wrap up the episode with a reminder that no matter how heavy life feels, Allah is greater than every worry, fear and anxiety we carry.

In this episode, we perceive a nuanced technique of communicating a message, as portrayed in Sangam Literary work, Aganaanooru 300, penned by Ulochanaar. The verse is situated amidst the leaping fish of the ‘Neythal’ or ‘Coastal landscape’ and brings out a trait, deeply encoded in the culture of the Tamils. நாள் வலை முகந்த கோள் வல் பரதவர்நுணங்கு மணல் ஆங்கண் உணங்கப் பெய்ம்மார்,பறி கொள் கொள்ளையர் மறுக உக்கமீன் ஆர் குருகின் கானல் அம் பெருந் துறை,எல்லை தண் பொழில் சென்றென செலீஇயர்,தேர் பூட்டு அயர ஏஎய், வார் கோல்செறி தொடி திருத்தி, பாறு மயிர் நீவி,”செல் இனி, மடந்தை! நின் தோழியொடு, மனை” எனச்சொல்லியஅளவை, தான் பெரிது கலுழ்ந்து,தீங்கு ஆயினள் இவள்ஆயின், தாங்காது,நொதுமலர் போலப் பிரியின், கதுமெனப்பிறிது ஒன்று ஆகலும் அஞ்சுவல்; அதனால்,சேணின் வருநர் போலப் பேணா,இருங் கலி யாணர் எம் சிறு குடித் தோன்றின்,வல் எதிர் கொண்டு, மெல்லிதின் வினைஇ,”துறையும் மான்றன்று பொழுதே; சுறவும்ஓதம் மல்கலின் மாறு ஆயினவே;எல்லின்று; தோன்றல்! செல்லாதீம்” என,எமர் குறை கூறத் தங்கி ஏமுற,இளையரும் புரவியும் இன்புற, நீயும்இல் உறை நல் விருந்து அயர்தல்ஒல்லுதும், பெரும! நீ நல்குதல் பெறினே. In this trip to the seas, we observe a plan being hatched, as we listen to the confidante say these words to the man, as he prepares to leave after his tryst by day with the lady: “Bringing their day's catch, those killer fishermen, who wield intricate fishing tools, bring their bounty and spread it to dry on the fine sands. Disturbing their plans, birds feast on the drying fish in those orchard-filled, beautiful shores. After spending the day in these cool groves, wishing to leave, you ordered your chariot be yoked. Then straightening her thick, round bangles, and stroking her scattered tresses, you said to her, ‘Go on, O naive maiden, along with your friend, to your home'. The moment you said those words, she started shedding copious tears and ended up wallowing in suffering. If at all you were to leave like an uncaring stranger, I fear something terrible may befall her. So, pretending as if you are coming from far away and acting as if you do not know us, if you were to arrive at our beautiful and fertile hamlet, filled with much uproar, they will quickly approach you, inquiring softly, and will say to you, ‘This is a time when the shore is filled with confusion, when sharks abound in the waters, bringing much danger. The day has ended, O noble heir! Do not leave now!'. As our kith and kin press on you, heeding their request, if you were to stay at our home happily, letting your helpers and horses to delight too, agree to relish the fine feast and accept our offerings, O lord, that would make us joyous indeed!” Let’s take a dip in these waters and learn more! The confidante starts by describing the shores, where the man and lady have had their day’s tryst. To do that, she focuses on fishermen, who reel in their catch, spread it on the sands and let it dry in the warmth. Much to their misery, birds do raid the spread and feast on the drying fish, the confidante adds. She connects by saying in the groves of this shore the man and lady had spent the day together, and now, that the evening had arrived, the man had summoned his helpers and asked them to tie the horses to his chariot, in preparation to leave. When the man turned to the lady and requested that she too leave to her home with her friend, this lady started crying and feeling much pain, the confidante continues. To the man, she pointedly says, ‘Now, if you walk away, like a stranger, who doesn’t care, something bad might happen to the lady, I fear’. So, she outlines a plan to the man, asking him to not leave but instead come to their village, pretending as if he’s coming from a far distance and acting as if he has never met the lady or confidante before. If he were to do that, their townsfolk, the lady’s relatives would welcome the man and insist that he should not leave so late in the evening, citing the danger of rising floods and attacking sharks, the confidante predicts. She concludes by saying if the man were to agree to this request by their kith and kin, that is the very thing that would bring much happiness to the lady and herself! Hidden in this sweet invitation is a sharp message, asking the man to ‘Marry the lady’! How so?, you may ask! If he were to accept this plan to stay at the lady’s home, there would be obvious deception on the man’s part. If the man were to pretend not to know the lady and act as if he were a famished stranger from afar, that might not suit his noble character of honesty, especially to his beloved’s kith and kin. So, the man would decide the right thing to do would be to seek the lady’s hand to avoid leaving her in a state of misery after every such tryst! Beyond these minute manipulations, the thing to focus our attention is that mention of the townsfolk’s welcome to a stranger. In their words, they show true care for the welfare and safety of a person they don’t even know, and etch in indelible letters, an ingrained trait that Tamils are known for, even to this day – Their heartfelt, heartwarming hospitality!

What happens when you stop trying to become the person the world expects and finally begin choosing who you want to be? In Episode 152 of Pushing Forward with Alycia, host Alycia Anderson welcomes global speaker, bestselling author, disability advocate, activist, and content creator Spencer West for a powerful conversation about disability identity, autonomy, interdependence, and breaking free from expectations. Spencer is the author of Breaking Free: Stop Following Expectations and Start Following Yourself, a new book that invites readers to question the expectations shaping their lives and begin choosing a more authentic path. Born with a genetic condition that prevented the muscles in his legs from functioning, Spencer underwent surgeries that resulted in the amputation of both legs just below his pelvis. Growing up, he was repeatedly told that he was “just like everyone else” and that every child wanted to walk. But prosthetic legs were not the best mobility choice for Spencer. By sixth grade, his parents and therapist gave him the opportunity to decide for himself how he wanted to navigate the world. Choosing to stop using prosthetic legs became one of his earliest lessons in bodily autonomy. “The moment I realized I could choose how I wanted to navigate the world, everything started to change.” That decision did not eliminate the pressure to fit in. Spencer shares how he continued confronting internalized ableism, social expectations, and the confusing message that disability should be ignored rather than embraced as part of his identity. The Life Changing Power of Autonomy Spencer and Alycia discuss why disabled children deserve the opportunity to participate in decisions about their own bodies, mobility, healthcare, and lives. Spencer credits his parents with giving him choices instead of assuming they always knew what was best for him. Looking back, he recognizes that this early experience helped him understand that he could make other meaningful choices too. For parents, educators, medical professionals, and leaders, his story offers an important reminder: supporting disabled people does not mean controlling every decision. It means creating space for autonomy, self discovery, and informed choice. Climbing Kilimanjaro and Redefining Help Spencer also shares the story behind climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. He was not motivated by a desire to prove that “anything is possible.” In fact, Spencer openly admits that he does not like camping and had never dreamed of becoming a mountain climber. The climb became part of a larger campaign called Redefine Possible, which raised more than its original $500,000 goal for clean water initiatives in East Africa. Spencer trained for a year alongside two of his closest friends. Although the original plan was to use both his wheelchair and his hands to climb, the terrain required him to navigate much more of the mountain on his hands than expected. Throughout the expedition, Spencer relied on his friends for physical support. But on summit day, both friends became sick from the altitude. Suddenly, the person who assumed he would need the most assistance became the person helping them continue. Spencer could not physically carry his friends, but he could stay beside them, encourage them, and keep moving forward with them. That experience transformed how he viewed strength. “We all need help. We all need to ask for help, and we all need to offer help.” Rather than celebrating the myth of the self made person, Spencer encourages people to embrace interdependence, the understanding that every person depends on support, relationships, community, and collaboration. Moving Beyond Inspiration Porn Spencer and Alycia examine the harmful narratives that often surround disabled people who accomplish highly visible goals. Spencer never wanted his Kilimanjaro climb reduced to a message suggesting that if a disabled person can climb a mountain, everyone should be able to overcome every barrier. That framing ignores systemic ableism, access needs, privilege, support, and the reality that every disabled person has a different body and experience. Spencer shares how disability justice advocate Naomi Ortiz challenged him to reconsider the way he talked about the climb. The true story was not that he overcame disability alone. It was that he reached the summit through community and interdependence. That conversation led Spencer to study disability history, disability justice, and the advocates who have shaped the movement. Today, much of his content reflects what he continues to learn and unlearn in real time. What Does It Mean to Break Free? Spencer's new book, Breaking Free: Stop Following Expectations and Start Following Yourself, examines the expectations people absorb from the moment they enter the world. For Spencer, those expectations included: Do not think of yourself as disabled Overcome your disability Use prosthetic legs Follow a traditional career path Marry a woman Measure success through productivity Live according to society's definition of a successful life As a disabled gay man growing up in a conservative Wyoming community, Spencer gradually realized that many of those expectations did not reflect who he was or what he wanted. Breaking free became the process of identifying which expectations belonged to him and which ones had been placed upon him by others. “My value and success are not tied up in what my body can produce.” Spencer explains that breaking free does not always require climbing a mountain or completely changing your career. It can begin with one small decision, such as leaving an unhealthy relationship, exploring a new passion, moving to another city, or making room for something that brings joy. Disability as Identity During a volunteer trip to Kenya, Spencer spoke with students about his disability. A young girl told him she had not realized that the loss of limbs could happen to a white person too. Her observation sparked a major realization. Until that moment, Spencer had viewed disability primarily as something that happened to him. He had not yet embraced it as part of his identity. That experience helped him begin connecting disability with the other layers of who he is, including being queer, a speaker, a creator, and an advocate. Spencer and Alycia reflect on how long it can take to fully embrace disability identity after growing up in environments that treated disability as something negative, shameful, or separate from the self. A Book Designed to Become a Tool Breaking Free is more than a memoir. Spencer designed the book as a practical guide for readers who are questioning the expectations shaping their lives. Each chapter includes exercises, reflection questions, key concepts, and opportunities for readers to begin their own process of change. The book also gives Spencer an opportunity to share parts of his life that he had not discussed publicly before, including the pressure he experienced to hide his queer identity while working within an organization concerned about conservative donors and religious partners. After years of advocacy from Spencer, queer colleagues, and allies, he eventually shared his coming out story publicly on June 26, 2015, the day marriage equality became law across the United States. For Spencer, that moment represented years of persistence, truth telling, and breaking free. Spencer West's North Star Today, Spencer continues speaking, creating digital content, and helping organizations understand the value of hiring disabled talent. His work challenges myths about disabled employees and highlights the unnecessary ableism many disabled people face while trying to find meaningful employment. His current North Star is clear: get Breaking Free into the hands of people who need permission to question expectations, embrace their identities, and begin choosing themselves. In This Episode Why bodily autonomy matters for disabled children and adults Spencer's decision to stop using prosthetic legs Unlearning internalized ableism The deeper story behind climbing Mount Kilimanjaro Why no one is truly self made Interdependence and the courage to ask for help How inspiration porn harms disabled people Learning from disability justice advocates Disability and queer identity Breaking free from society's expectations Separating personal value from productivity Why Spencer wrote Breaking Free Disability inclusion and employment Memorable Quotes from Spencer West “The moment I realized I could choose how I wanted to navigate the world, everything started to change.” “The story was not that I reached the top alone. The story was interdependence.” The Pushing Forward Moment “Maybe our job is not to become anything. Maybe our job is to unbecome all the things that do not belong to us so we can become the person we were meant to be.” Spencer explains that this idea, inspired by a passage associated with Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist, became the guiding thesis behind Breaking Free.

We spend so much time talking about finding “the one” that we rarely talk about the risks of choosing the wrong one. The wrong relationship can cost you your peace, your money, your reputation, your mental health, your relationship with your children, and even years of your life.Are people ignoring red flags because they're lonely? Are we choosing looks over character? Have social media, unrealistic expectations, and dating culture made it harder to recognize healthy partners?In this episode, I'm asking the uncomfortable questions: Should love ever be enough? Is marriage still worth the risk? Are people doing enough to vet the person they're committing to, or are they falling in love with potential instead of reality?This conversation isn't about blaming men or women—it's about accountability, discernment, and making one of the biggest decisions of your life with your eyes open. Join the debate and tell us: What's the biggest red flag people ignore before saying “I do”?

Kevin O'Leary is back on Money Rehab, and this time he's changed his tune on crypto. Nicole presses "Mr. Wonderful" on his wild reversal: from owning 27 coins to just two, why he thinks the real money is now in power infrastructure, and why the Clarity Act could break Bitcoin's price ceiling. Kevin also gets into the messy, litigious world of data centers, including the lawsuits, the death threats against his own family, and where he thinks the money trail leads.

I want to be clear about something before you listen to this episode. When I say "marry well," I don't mean marry rich or marry impressive or marry a man who looks good on paper. I mean build a relationship that genuinely makes your life better. One built on real compatibility, mutual respect, and matched effort. That goes in the direction of how you want your life to go. And that was the brief for this episode. +SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER: https://graceb.myflodesk.com/k0sfhlac34+FOLLOW THE PODCASTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/workinghard...TikTok: / workinghardpodcast +DILEMMA SUBMISSIONIf you'd like to submit any dilemmas to the podcast to be answered in the bonus episodes, please send them to podcast@grace-beverley.com with the subject beginning DILEMMAS or DM us @workinghardpod on instagram!+MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

Jeremiah 29:1-14A Letter to the Exiles29 This is the text of the letter that the prophet Jeremiah sent from Jerusalem to the surviving elders among the exiles and to the priests, the prophets and all the other people Nebuchadnezzar had carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. 2 (This was after King Jehoiachin and the queen mother, the court officials and the leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, the skilled workers and the artisans had gone into exile from Jerusalem.) 3 He entrusted the letter to Elasah son of Shaphan and to Gemariah son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to King Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon. It said:4 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says toall those I carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: 5 “Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce. 6 Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there; do not decrease. 7 Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.” 8 Yes, this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “Do not let the prophets and diviners among you deceive you. Do not listen to the dreams you encourage them to have. 9 They are prophesying lies to you in my name. I have not sent them,” declares the Lord.10 This is what the Lord says: “When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my good promise to bring you back to this place. 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declaresthe Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”

Jon Gustin is the founder of Tired Dad, a community of more than 2 million followers built on one honest premise: parenting is only hard for good parents. A former personal trainer of 14 years who started making short videos during the sleepless newborn stretch of 2020, he became one of the first men online talking openly about the mental load of fatherhood. He co-hosts the Tired Dad and Tired Mom podcasts with his wife Jessica and released his book The Tired Dad: 100 Reflections on Showing Up for What Matters Most in May. Larry and Jon get into the exhaustion that comes from doing the work right, both of their fathers coming home from Vietnam unable to talk about it, the rebellion and loss that followed Jon's parents' divorce, and the ego death that pulled his marriage out of the roommate phase. If you're tired in the best way possible and still wondering whether you're doing a good job, this conversation is for you.   Timeline Summary [1:02] – Parenting is only hard for good parents, and why tired means invested [3:19] – Tired from parenting, not tired of parenting [6:23] – How the newborn stretch of 2020 accidentally birthed Tired Dad [8:10] – Nobody was talking about the mental load of fatherhood, so Jon did [12:16] – The Justin Gustin problem and Larry's own Hagman mixup [13:29] – Full introduction: 2 million followers, two podcasts, and the book [16:54] – Growing up the baby of the family with siblings seven and eight years older [20:18] – A Vietnam veteran father, a World War Two grandfather, and night terrors that never left [21:55] – Watching your dad go from Superman to human during the divorce [26:38] – Running from it: partying, drugs, theft, and total chaos at 14 [28:26] – Losing friends to overdoses and deciding to get out [29:48] – Moving to Tennessee, meeting Jessica, and marrying 11 months later [34:08] – The Gottman research and why only 12% of marriages truly thrive [36:27] – Marry the right person for the right reasons, because marriage fixes nothing [37:59] – Postpartum, the roommate phase, and the darkest stretch of their marriage [40:56] – Killing the ego and why keeping score breeds resentment [43:48] – Getting sober three and a half years ago and what changed [46:42] – Ego death without becoming a doormat or a nice guy [48:55] – Eliminate the guessing and learn what your wife actually needs [52:42] – Inside the book: the weight fathers carry and the mantra to keep showing up [54:47] – Wearing exhaustion as a badge of honor versus being the healed version of you [57:18] – Legacy, being a home worth coming back to, and the 3am call   5 Key Takeaways Tired Means You're Doing It Right — If parenting feels hard and exhausting, that's evidence you care enough to invest in it. You're tired from the work, not of it. Marriage Fixes Nothing — Your partner isn't responsible for healing your wounds and you aren't responsible for healing theirs. Two people can both do their own work and build something great, but expecting rescue guarantees misery. The Ego Is a Heavy Backpack — Keeping score is the breeding ground for resentment. Dropping the ego means asking how you can help the situation, not tallying what you're not getting. Ego Death Is Not Becoming a Doormat — Killing the ego doesn't mean happy wife, happy life, or becoming a yes man. It means eliminating the guessing, expressing your own needs clearly, and understanding hers. Be the Healed Version, Not the Broken One — Carrying exhaustion proudly while running on empty leaves you injured at the end of the road. The goal is showing up tired but well, in shape for the job.   Links & Resources Episode page and all links: https://thedadedge.com/1508 Join the Dad Edge Alliance (July promo: signed book, two courses, 50 conversation starters): https://thedadedge.com/join Dad Edge Boardroom Goal Setting Intensive (July 31, 8am central): https://thedadedge.com/goals The Tired Dad: 100 Reflections on Showing Up for What Matters Most by Jon Gustin: available wherever books are sold Tired Dad website: https://tireddad.com   Enjoyed This Episode? If Jon's line about being tired from parenting rather than tired of it reframed something for you, pass it along.

He doesn't marry the right woman; he marries at the right time. That single idea reframes almost everything about how we think we're supposed to find love. Nelly Sudri is a matchmaker and dating coach who works with high-achieving men and women navigating love, timing, and compatibility in 2026. She joins us for a no-filter conversation about why "wife material" doesn't guarantee a ring, why society's shifting money dynamics are quietly wrecking relationships, and why most people's dating checklists are actually keeping them single.

In this episode, we perceive a hidden attempt at persuading a person, as portrayed in Sangam Literary work, Aganaanooru 292, penned by Kabilar. The verse is situated amidst the hanging honeycombs of the ‘Kurinji’ or ‘Mountain Landscape’ and sketches the dynamic flow of a speeding stone from a catapult. கூறாய், செய்வது தோழி! வேறு உணர்ந்து,அன்னையும் பொருள் உகுத்து அலமரும்; மென் முறிச்சிறு குளகு அருந்து, தாய் முலை பெறாஅ,மறி கொலைப் படுத்தல் வேண்டி, வெறி புரிஏதில் வேலன் கோதை துயல்வரத்தூங்கும்ஆயின், அதூஉம் நாணுவல்;இலங்கு வளை நெகிழ்ந்த செல்லல் புலம் படர்ந்து,இரவின் மேயல் மரூஉம் யானைக்கால் வல் இயக்கம் ஒற்றி, நடு நாள்,வரையிடைக் கழுதின் வன் கைக் கானவன்கடு விசைக் கவணின் எறிந்த சிறு கல்உடு உறு கணையின் போகி, சாரல்வேங்கை விரி இணர் சிதறி, தேன் சிதையூஉ,பலவின் பழத்துள் தங்கும்மலை கெழு நாடன் மணவாக்காலே! In this little trip to the mountains, we get to see fast paced action, as we listen to the lady say these words to the confidante, pretending not to notice the man listening nearby, but making sure he’s in earshot: “Tell me what I should do, my friend! Thinking it's something else, Mother showers money wastefully and acts in a confused manner; As for that strange Velan, wishing to kill and sacrifice a goat kid, which feeds on soft leaves of small bushes and gets not to suckle its mother's udders, performs the ‘Veri' ritual and dances with his garlands swaying. For that, I'm ashamed! Moving to other lands, intending to graze at night, comes the elephant. Listening to the sound of its footsteps, in the middle of the night, a strong-armed mountain guard waiting upon a loft, aims a small stone from his swift-launching catapult. Speeding like a feathered arrow, that stone scatters blooming flower clusters of the Kino tree, tears apart a honeycomb, and then rests within a fruit of the jackfruit tree, in the mountains of the lord. Tell me what I should do if he, who made my shining bangles slip away, does not marry me!” Let’s listen to the conversation of these mountain maiden and learn more! The lady starts with a helpless question to her friend, asking what she should do. Then she goes on to relay her troubles about Mother mistaking her symptoms for something else and thinking it’s the ire of God Murugu, throwing about her money to allay the god’s anger with Veri rituals performed by the priest Velan. The lady declares to her friend that all this makes her much ashamed, especially to see a young goat kid, which doesn’t even get to suckle at the udders of its mother, being sacrificed for her sake! Then, she goes on to describe the man’s mountain country, and to do that, she turns her camera on a guard sitting on tall loft in the middle of the night and thinking he’s heard an elephant which arrives to raid the fields, he launches a stone from his catapult and this stone rushes like an arrow, scattering kino flowers, shattering honey combs, and finally resting within a jackfruit. The lady concludes by asking her friend what would become of her, if the man of this mountain does not marry her! In the scene of the mountain guard’s missile shedding flowers, tearing honeycombs and piercing the heart of a jackfruit, instead of nabbing the elephant it was intended for, the lady places a metaphor for how the slander that spreads in town has made the beauty of the lady wither, torn her togetherness with the man, and is resting in the heart of her mother, making her do these strange things. The lady presents her situation in a succinct manner to the man and impresses on the need for him to give up his temporary trysting and come seek her hand without any further delay. ‘Marry me, marry me’ yet again, but quite an intriguing experience to travel on that speeding stone to its sweet destination!

Launch monitor ownership among amateurs has exploded. Trackman, Foresight, SkyTrak, Garmin, Bushnell...everyone has one at home now, and everyone is chasing numbers. Shaun Webb and Mike Granato from Athletic Motion Golf open the conversation with the honest working truth of every measurement tool. The launch monitor tells you what happened at impact. 3D tells you why it happened. And when you use only the former, you end up doing what tour pros used to do when Trackman first hit the scene. You Trackman your way off the tour.The specific pitfalls hit hard. Winter indoor practice with a launch monitor produces a swing built for the simulator, not the golf course. The launch monitor only knows where straight is relative to where it's set up. You can stand on your head and put a zero path number up if you aim right. The simulator's four walls do the aiming work for you. The 550-yard par 5 doesn't. And once you see a red number, the temptation is to contort your downswing to fix a symptom while the actual cause (setup, backswing sway, spine lean) sits untouched.Shaun tells the story of the scratch golfer he grew up playing with who was a club champion. He sliced it all around the course, but he knew exactly what the ball was going to do every time. Give him a Trackman and tell him minus 8 path is bad, and he would never have broken 100 again.The fix is a philosophy. Understand the tool's limitations. Understand how to use the tool. Then understand how to use the data. Attack the earliest thing in the swing that is broken. Get out of the parking lot before you worry about which street to turn down. Marry the launch monitor (club and ball data) with a body measurement tool (Swing Coach app is the "launch monitor for the body"). Plus the reference to Jason Baile (2023 PGA National Teacher of the Year) at the Trackman User Conference. He gets his tour players focused on just one or two parameters instead of all 40+.
