Did you know that 46% of women completely stop exercising because of pelvic floor problems and most wait nearly 7 years before seeking help? If you've been waking up multiple times every night to pee, crossing your legs when you sneeze, or planning your entire day around bathroom locations, this episode is about to change your life. And no, the answer isn't just "do more Kegels." In this conversation with Kim Vopni, also known as The Vagina Coach, to uncover the shocking truth about what's really happening to your pelvic floor in midlife and why everything your doctor told you might be wrong. Kim reveals why most women are doing Kegels completely incorrectly, making their problems worse instead of better. She explains the real reasons you're waking up at night (hint: it's probably not your bladder), and shares the one appointment every woman should schedule annually that most have never even heard of. You'll discover why bladder leaks aren't just an inconvenience but a cascade effect that's destroying your sleep, your exercise routine, your sex life, and your confidence. Kim breaks down the difference between normal aging and actual pelvic floor dysfunction, revealing that what you've accepted as "just part of getting older" is actually completely reversible in most cases. From the truth about vaginal estrogen and the black box warning that's medically inaccurate, to hypopressives and vaginal red light therapy, this conversation goes deep into solutions that actually work. Kim explains why surgery and medication should never be your first option, shares the retraining technique that stops night waking in as little as one night, and reveals the hidden connection between your nervous system and every single pelvic floor symptom. Whether you're dealing with stress incontinence, urgency, pelvic organ prolapse, or you're just exhausted from getting up six times a night, this episode gives you the roadmap to reclaim your pelvic health (and your life). Because hiding from photos, avoiding social events, and wearing black leggings every day isn't the solution.  Ready to stop planning your life around bathrooms?   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Kim Vopni Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/VaginaCoach  Website ➜   http://vaginacoach.com/   Thank you to our show sponsors!

Higher food prices, economic instability, and other factors have made providing for a family even harder. 1 in 8 households in the U.S. is food insecure. That means these families don't have enough money or resources to buy enough food for everyone in their household. As recently as 2022, 7.3 million children lived in food insecure households. Also, 16.9% of children live in poverty.   SNAP Benefits More than 22 million U.S. households use SNAP benefits to help with food costs, as of April 2023. Sometimes known as "food stamps," SNAP is the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. People who receive SNAP benefits can use it to buy groceries, seeds, and plants for food. SNAP cannot be used to purchase hot food or household items like cleaning supplies, vitamins, or diapers.   CONNECT WITH Cedric Francis Website: https://www.lead2greatness.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cedricbfrancis X: https://twitter.com/cedricbfrancis Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cedricbfrancis/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cedric-b-francis-a0544037/

In this deeply personal and reflective episode of Personal Mastery Training, the Alliance gathers to close out a challenging 2025. For host Alvin Brown, this year brought the profound loss of his 31-year-old son and the show's beloved co-host, Dr. Charlie Cartwright.   These events sparked a vital conversation about the concept of "Borrowed Time." We often live under the illusion that we have endless time to chase our dreams, but the reality is that life is unscripted and finite. As we transition into 2026, the question isn't just about what you want to achieve, but how you intend to live the time you have left. This episode is a reminder that life is not a dress rehearsal—it is happening right now. Key Highlights The Reality of Borrowed Time: Every cell in our body is destined for apoptosis (cell death). We are biologically living on borrowed time. Alvin shares that regardless of how healthy or righteous we live, life is unpredictable. We must stop living "lives of quiet desperation" and start playing the music that is inside of us today. One Less Day, Not One More: Brandon shifts the perspective on how we view our calendar. We shouldn't look at tomorrow as just "one more day" added to our lives, but rather as "one less day" remaining in our bank. When you realize the count is going down, not up, you stop sweating the small stuff and start valuing the things that truly matter. Clocked Time vs. Lived Time: Ray introduces a powerful distinction. "Clocked time" is simply existing and punching the clock of life. "Lived time" consists of the rare, special moments that give our lives color and meaning. We need to audit our lives to ensure we aren't just passing time, but actually creating memories. Bring Value to the Hour: Inspired by Jim Rohn, the group discusses that you don't get paid (in money or joy) for the hour; you get paid for the value you bring to the hour. Whether it is in business or relationships, richness comes from how you make people feel and the energy you bring to the interaction. The Privilege of Aging: Getting older is a privilege denied to many. The goal is to age with vibrancy so that when you look back at photos of your life, you see joy and energy at every stage. Be the kind of elder that younger generations want to sit with because you have a life full of stories and wisdom to share. Power Words for 2026: The hosts chose their guiding words for the upcoming year: Alvin: Acceptance (The newly identified 5th Pillar of Mastery). Brandon: Embrace (The opportunities and the moment). Ray: Burn (Let your inner light shine). Final Thoughts As we wrap up this year, take a moment to look at the "season" of life you are in. Are you waiting for permission to be yourself? Are you holding onto baggage that is weighing you down? The Alliance reminds us that the best time to start is today. You cannot dream big enough, so don't let the fear of inadequacy stop you from launching forward. Honor the memory of those who have passed by living your life fully, vibrantly, and without regret.   Peace, Love, and Soul.

Understanding the Tax Trinity: Basis, Realization, and Non-RecognitionThis conversation delves into the fundamental concepts of property taxation, focusing on the tax trinity of basis, realization, and non-recognition. The discussion outlines how tax basis serves as the foundation for calculating gains or losses, the significance of realization events in triggering tax liabilities, and the implications of adjusted basis over time. It contrasts the treatment of gifts and inheritances, highlighting the stepped-up basis rule, and explores various non-recognition rules that allow for tax deferral. The conversation concludes with a reflection on the policy implications of these tax rules, particularly the stepped-up basis at death.In the complex world of tax law, understanding the foundational concepts of basis, realization, and non-recognition is crucial. These principles form the bedrock of property taxation and are essential for anyone studying tax law or preparing for the bar exam.The Foundation: Basis Basis is your investment baseline for tax purposes. It's the starting point for calculating gain or loss when you sell an asset. While it sounds simple—basis equals cost—the reality involves numerous exceptions and adjustments. For instance, the Uniform Capitalization Rules (Unicap) require businesses to capitalize production costs, adding complexity to the calculation.Realization: The Tax Trigger Realization is the event that triggers tax calculation. It's not just about cash transactions; exchanges of property or debt relief can also constitute realization events. The legal definition, as established in landmark cases, emphasizes the need for a transaction to lock in gains.Non-Recognition: The Escape Hatch Non-recognition statutes allow taxpayers to defer gains under certain conditions. The like-kind exchange rule under IRC Section 1031 is a prime example, allowing deferral of gains when swapping investment properties. However, the rules are strict, and missing deadlines can result in immediate tax liability.Mastering these concepts is not just about passing exams; it's about understanding how wealth moves through the tax system. The step-up in basis rule, for instance, allows billions in unrealized gains to escape taxation annually. As you delve deeper into these topics, consider the broader policy implications and the ongoing debates surrounding these rules.Subscribe now to stay updated on the latest in tax law and gain insights into the intricacies of the tax code.TakeawaysTax basis is the starting point for calculating gain or loss.Realization is the event that triggers tax liability.Adjusted basis changes over time due to improvements and depreciation.Gifts carry over the donor's basis, while inheritances receive a stepped-up basis.Non-recognition rules allow for tax deferral in certain transactions.Like-kind exchanges allow deferral of gains when swapping similar properties.The dual basis rule prevents gifting losses.The stepped-up basis rule at death excludes unrealized gains from taxation.Realization and recognition are distinct concepts in tax law.The policy debate around the stepped-up basis rule is significant.tax law, property taxation, tax basis, realization, non-recognition, gifts, inheritances, tax deferral, IRS, tax code

Eighty years ago, a young John F. Kennedy took a summer job as a journalist for Hearst newspapers, filing dispatches in the final days of World War II. Even the most seasoned JFK scholars often overlook this chapter, missing the influence those months had on the future president. * "JFK's Forgotten Summer," which we originally published in June, was our top performing episode of 2025. Tragically, it took on more significance earlier this month with the death of Rob Reiner. Rob — who, with Soledad O'Brien, hosted Who Killed JFK?, one of the most successful podcasts of 2023 — kindly shared with us his knowledge and passion about the Kennedy family and appears in this episode. He was under no obligation to do this. He just wanted to help. It was an honor to work with him.

What if the negative thoughts keeping you awake at 3 AM aren't trying to torture you—but are actually messengers with critical information about what you need most? If you've ever felt consumed by worries about money, regrets about parenting, or fears about aging, you're not alone. But according to Dr. Yasmine Saad, one of New York's top three psychologists, everything we've been taught about handling these thoughts is backwards. In this conversation, Dr. Saad reveals why midlife creates the perfect storm for mental overwhelm, how hormonal changes directly affect your thought patterns, and why fighting your negative thoughts might be the worst thing you can do. She introduces a revolutionary five-step method for decoding the messages your mind is desperately trying to send you—and why understanding these messages is the key to transformation. We dive deep into the mind-body connection through traditional Chinese medicine, exploring how physical symptoms like hives, shoulder pain, and digestive issues are directly connected to the emotions you've absorbed and the mental patterns you're running. Dr. Saad explains why meditation and positive thinking often backfire, what your "energy signature" reveals about how you should approach healing, and the critical differences between psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, and coaches. This isn't another conversation about "managing" your mental health. This is about understanding why your mind works the way it does in midlife, what it's trying to tell you, and how to use that information to create the life you actually want. If you're ready to stop fighting yourself and start listening to what your mind and body are trying to communicate, this episode will change everything.

Most men are not failing because they lack effort. They are failing because their system does not fit their life.As I sit down with Eric Bach, we break down why driven men starting in their late 30s stop seeing progress, despite doing all the right things on paper. Eric has coached elite athletes and now works with busy parents and business owners who want results without burning out. We talk about why execution beats complexity, how real progress comes from nailing the basics consistently, smarter training for longevity, simplifying nutrition with the A.D.E. framework, and why sleep is one of the most overlooked performance tools of our health.

In this explosive episode of The Connect, Johnny sits down with Danesa White, better known as Bella Barcode — a former Oakland hustler who built a multi-million-dollar fraud and jewelry embezzlement operation before the age of 21. Raised in the heart of the Bay Area hustle, Danesa breaks down how she went from boosting clothes as a teenager to running sophisticated bank fraud, credit card approval schemes, and high-end jewelry thefts across all 50 states. At her peak, she was clearing hundreds of thousands of dollars a day, selling stolen diamonds, watches, and luxury goods to NFL players and major drug dealers — all while living a jet-set lifestyle that included Dubai, Miami, New York, and beyond. -In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Bella Barcode explains: -How early-2000s bank and credit card fraud actually worked -How jewelry stores could be forced into approving six-figure purchases -The psychology of confidence, misdirection, and playing the role -The moment everything collapsed — arrests, probation violations, and a federal case -Serving 7 years in federal prison and what women's prison is really like -Why she finally chose to tell her story — and the price that came with it Today, Danesa has turned her life around and is inspiring others through her autobiography Recidivism: Beauty Before Bars, proving that survival, accountability, and redemption are possible — even after losing everything. This is one of the most detailed breakdowns of white-collar street crime ever told on the podcast — and a powerful cautionary tale about how fast money can disappear just as quickly as it comes.
