In this episode of Keeping Your Breast, Dr. Jenn Simmons talks with Loren Lockman, a longtime health coach and water-only fasting expert who has supervised fasts since 1996. Loren shares how fasting helped him recover from years of chronic illness and explains what the body is doing during a properly supported water fast - especially autophagy, fasting ketosis, and deep cellular repair.They also dig into why Loren believes most people are chronically dehydrated, why he does not recommend juicing (even at home), how fasting can support healing across many conditions (including breast cancer support), and why the real key is not doing more - it is getting out of the body's way with rest, simplicity, and a structured refeed.What You'll LearnWhat water-only fasting is, how it works, and why proper supervision mattersHow fasting activates autophagy and supports deep cellular cleanupThe difference between fasting ketosis and the ketogenic dietHow detoxification and immune function are connected to chronic diseaseThe influence of the pharmaceutical industry on modern nutrition and health narrativesNatural diet and lifestyle strategies that support longevityPlant-based nutrition, protein myths, and whole-food sourcingWhy hydration, electrolyte balance, and water intake are critical during fastingWho should not fast (and who typically can)Episode Timeline:01:03 Meet Loren Lockman: 38-Year Vegan & Water-Only Fasting Expert03:13 From Chronic Illness to Radical Healing09:22 Why Conventional Medicine Failed Him16:00 Healing Is a Biological Process (Not a Prescription)21:30 What Happens in the Body During a Water Fast26:30 Fasting & Cancer: Autophagy, Immunity, and Detox31:00 Processed Foods, Pharma Influence & Modern Disease33:45 Protein Myths, Juicing, and Nutritional Controversy46:45 The Science of Autophagy & Fasting Ketosis55:45 Chronic Dehydration, Intestinal Health & Aging58:45 Can Everyone Fast?

Michael Hunter — Leading from the Inside Out: The Science of Calm in Chaotic TimesWhat if calm isn't the absence of chaos — but your competitive advantage?In this episode of the People/AI Strategy Forum, Sam Reeve sits down with Michael Hunter, author of The Resilient Tech Leader, to explore how leaders can metabolize turbulence instead of being consumed by it.As AI accelerates change, urgency multiplies, and burnout rises, many leaders feel like everything is a priority — which makes everything impossible. Michael shares a science-backed, field-tested approach to building calm from the inside out so you can make cleaner decisions, execute consistently, and help your team do their best work — even when the fire alarms are blaring.Drawing from his background in high-pressure tech environments, Michael explains why the most important system you'll ever upgrade isn't your tech stack — it's you.In this episode, we cover:Why multitasking destroys effectiveness (and what to do instead)How to triage chaos in 10 minutesThe hidden cost of context switchingA practical one-page focus routine to protect your attentionThe power of “tiny experiments” to build resilienceHow to align heart, mind, body, and spirit in leadershipWhy anxiety about the future is often a confidence gapThe “chain of meaning” exercise to clarify what really mattersHow leaders can design a legacy that outlives their titleMichael reframes resilience as a learnable process — not a personality trait. Through small steps, lightweight rituals, and awareness of your “notice me nudges,” you can build the internal steadiness required to lead in chaotic times.Key takeaway:You don't need perfect calm to lead well. You just need the next tiny step.If this conversation resonates, subscribe, rate, and share with a leader who needs to hear it.Guest: Michael Hunter, Author of The Resilient Tech Leader Host: Sam Reeve, CEO of CompTeam Show: People/AI Strategy Forum (powered by CompTeam)If you enjoyed this episode, follow the People/AI Strategy Forum on your preferred podcast platform and join the conversation!

In On the Other Side of Pain, Laurel Boivin explores pain as an inevitable part of the human experience—and a powerful catalyst for transformation when it is met with honesty, care, and time. Rather than bypassing or minimizing pain, this episode invites listeners to slow down, feel what needs to be felt, and trust the nonlinear process of healing.Laurel reflects on how pain lives in the body, why we are not meant to carry it alone, and what it means to be truly resourced while healing. From honoring grief and loss to choosing whether pain hardens or softens us, this conversation gently guides listeners toward the awareness, perspective, and compassion that often emerge on the other side of pain.This conversation focuses on: Why dismissing pain—or rushing to meaning—can slow healing rather than support itThe importance of allowing grief, loss, anger, and disappointment to be felt and honoredWhat it means to be “well resourced” while processing pain, and why support mattersHow pain can shape who we become without defining or diminishing usThe choice pain presents: hardening for protection or softening with awareness and compassionJournaling prompts are suggested to further your exploration. Who am I now, on the other side—or in the midst—of this experience?How has this experience changed my path, my priorities, or the way I see my life?What did I learn about myself during the healing and processing, not just from what happened?What knowledge, wisdom, or insight do I now carry that I didn't have before?Who might benefit from what I know now, and how might I share it in a human, grounded way?Where do I notice pain living in my body, and what might help me release or soften it?In what ways has pain clarified what truly matters to me?When I think about this experience, do I notice myself hardening or softening—and what choice feels most supportive right now?What beliefs, faith, or inner trust help me remember that my life is still unfolding?What feels different in me today, even if I don't feel “better”—and how can I honor that shift?Host/Cohost/Guest InfoGuiding others to become effective leaders of their own lives, Laurel Holland has been on a journey of awakening and transformation throughout her life.

A federal policy change could quietly reshape the future of the Physician Associate profession — and most clinicians don't even know it's happening.In this urgent advocacy episode, Tracy sits down with Jen Campbell, PA-C, cardiology PA, PA supervisor, and current president of the Pennsylvania Society of Physician Associates (PSPA), to break down what a proposed Department of Education rule could mean for PA students, future clinicians, and patient access to care.At the center of the issue is a redefinition of what counts as a “professional program.” If PAs are excluded from that definition, graduate loan limits could drop to $25,000 each year and a lifetime cap of $100,000, making PA school financially inaccessible for many students — especially first-generation, rural, and lower-income applicants.This isn't just a student issue. It's a workforce issue. A patient care issue. A healthcare access issue.And the most important part?There is still time to act. **Comment period ends on March 2nd**What the proposed federal rule actually says (plain-English breakdown)Why the definition of “professional degree” mattersHow loan caps could limit access to PA schoolWho will be most affected — and why that matters for patient careThe link between education access and clinician shortagesHow individual clinicians can influence policy (yes, you)Real steps you can take today to advocate for the professionIf fewer students can afford PA school → fewer clinicians graduate → patient access declines.Policies like this don't just affect training.They shape the future of healthcare delivery.If you only act on one advocacy issue this year — make it this one.Ways to help:Submit a public comment to federal regulators HERE: https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/ED-2025-OPE-0944-0001  Contact your representative or senator using www.5Calls.org Educate colleagues who haven't heard about this yet - SHARE this episode widely! Advocacy doesn't require a title.It requires a voice.Jen Campbell, PA-CCardiology Physician AssociatePA Supervisor managing 25 APPs across four hospitalsPresident, Pennsylvania Society of Physician Associates (PSPA)Advocate for clinician workforce sustainability and education accessConnect with Jen on LinkedIn or through PSPA to learn more about current advocacy initiatives.Physician Associate advocacy, PA student loans, Department of Education rule, graduate loan limits, healthcare workforce shortage, PA school cost, federal loan policy, healthcare legislation, clinician advocacy, PA profession future, PSPA president interview, AAPA advocacy, healthcare access policy, student loan reform healthcare, federal rulemaking healthcare education.You don't have to be a policy expert to change policy.You just have to speak.What You'll LearnWhy This Matters

Welcome to this Thursday Financial Planning session, where we break down one of the most important times in the investing calendar — ASX reporting season.With February marking half-year results (and August covering full-year results), listed companies provide updates on earnings, dividends, business performance, and forward guidance. These updates can significantly impact share prices — sometimes in ways that surprise even experienced investors.In this episode, we unpack:What reporting season is and why it mattersHow earnings and dividends influence share pricesWhy markets don't always react logically to “good” resultsThe strongest performing sectors so far — including banksWhy some healthcare and retail stocks have struggledHow expectations, not just results, drive market reactionsWe also look at real examples from this reporting season, including:BHP – Up strongly after pivoting toward copper and benefiting from the clean energy theme, alongside increased dividends.Commonwealth Bank – Posting strong results as higher interest rates continue to support bank profitability.Pro Medicus – Delivering solid growth in revenue and profit, yet seeing a sharp share price decline after missing high market expectations.We also touch on the performance of NAB, Temple & Webster, ANZ, CSL, and Cochlear, highlighting how sectors like banking, mining, healthcare, retail, and tech are navigating current market conditions.Most importantly, we discuss what investors should actually focus on during reporting season — CEO commentary, forward guidance, sector trends, diversification, and long-term positioning.If you hold individual shares (not just ETFs), this is one of the most critical periods of the year. Expect volatility. Expect double-digit moves. And most importantly, understand why they're happening.Tune in to stay informed, stay strategic, and stay ahead of the market conversation.

If you've ever felt like your body changed overnight after 40…If abdominal fat appeared even though you “didn't change anything”…If you've been told it's just about eating less and moving more…This episode will change the way you see your body forever.In this powerful conversation, we unpack why the traditional weight-loss narrative fails women in midlife — and what actually works instead.You'll discover:Why focusing on the scale is misleading — and why body composition is what truly mattersHow heavy lifting and power training protect your brain, metabolism, and independence as you ageThe difference between HIIT and sprint training — and why intensity (done properly) transforms fat loss and longevityWhy eating in the morning regulates cortisol, protects muscle, and prevents the afternoon crashHow to train hard without burning out — and why recovery is just as strategic as effortThis isn't about dieting harder.It's about understanding your physiology.It's about building strength instead of chasing thinness.It's about becoming powerful, resilient, and metabolically healthy for decades to come.If you're ready to stop fighting your body and start working with it — press play.Connect with Dr Stacy SimsIG: https://www.instagram.com/drstacysims/ Dr Sims Programs: https://www.drstacysims.com/product_guide Weight Lifting Programs with Hailey Happens: https://www.haileyhappensfitness.com/workout-plans/power-happens Other social media:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPD55VPa1ZWx1a_nzWC2VJAFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/drstacysimsLI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stacy-t-sims-phd/ Watch Stop Dieting Start Thriving: https://go.drorlena.com/video Sign up for the Stop Dieting and Start Thriving Video: https://go.drorlena.com/video Looking for support?

New construction is one of my specialties, and while I'm a big fan, I also know it's truly to each their own. Some buyers love new builds, while others prefer resale or existing homes. Let's talk about both sides.✅ PROS of Buying New Construction:✔️ Great option for first-time home buyers with limited cash reserves✔️ Builder incentives (closing costs, rate buy-downs, upgrades & more)✔️ A more streamlined and predictable process compared to resale✔️ Warranties that provide peace of mind (1-year, 2-year, and structural coverage)⚠️ CONS of Buying New Construction:❌ Less character compared to older or custom homes❌ Typically smaller lots and homes closer together❌ Most communities come with an HOA (especially in Georgia)❌ You may not get the feel of an established neighborhood right awayI also explain:Why inspections can be smoother with new constructionWhat the 11-month warranty walk-through is and why it mattersHow builder incentives compare to seller concessions in resale homesWho new construction is not ideal for

Summary In this episode of the Faith and Work podcast, Ross Chapman and Brian Gray explore the complex relationship between identity and work from a Christian perspective. They discuss how societal pressures often lead individuals to derive their sense of worth from their professional accomplishments, contrasting this with the biblical view that identity is rooted in being in Christ. The conversation delves into the implications of this understanding for personal fulfillment, burnout, and the nature of work itself, emphasizing the importance of recognizing work as a good thing but not the ultimate source of identity.

Podcast: Exploited: The Cyber Truth Episode: The OT Mistakes Attackers Count On—And How to Fix Them Before They DoPub date: 2026-02-12Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationIn this episode of Exploited: The Cyber Truth, host Paul Ducklin is joined by RunSafe Security CEO Joseph M. Saunders and OT/ICS security expert Mike Holcomb, founder of UTILSEC, for a candid discussion about the weaknesses attackers exploit inside industrial environments. Mike shares what he repeatedly finds during assessments of large OT and ICS networks: no effective firewall between IT and OT, flat networks with little segmentation, stale Windows domains, shared engineering credentials, exposed HMIs, and OT protocols that will accept commands from any reachable host. He explains how attackers move from IT into OT using familiar enterprise techniques before pivoting into PLCs, RTUs, safety systems, and historians. Joe outlines why secure-by-design practices, higher software quality, and “secure by demand” procurement are critical to long-term resilience—especially as cloud connectivity and AI accelerate modernization in industrial environments. Together, they explore: Why a missing or misconfigured IT/OT firewall remains the most common and dangerous gapHow micro-segmentation and unidirectional architectures reduce blast radiusThe risks of web-enabled HMIs and long-lived legacy systemsWhy monitoring PLC programming traffic and historian queries mattersHow the Cyber Resilience Act is reshaping accountability for OT vendors If you're responsible for industrial operations, plant uptime, or product security, this episode shows how attackers actually move through OT environments—and how to eliminate the mistakes they depend on.The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from RunSafe Security, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Nicola Sykes, a leading expert on hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA), to talk about what it really means when your period goes missing, why HA can affect bodies of any size, and how normalized “healthy” behaviors and weight stigma often delay real support. This conversation goes beyond fertility to explore how to listen to your body, understand the signals it's sending, and support your health in a sustainable way.✅ What You'll Learn:Why habits like carb-cutting, intermittent fasting, and intense exercise can disrupt your menstrual cycleHow under-fueling, stress, and exercise multiply to trigger hypothalamic amenorrheaWhy anyone, regardless of body size, can experience HA, and what makes weight-based assumptions so harmfulWhat a disrupted cycle looks like and why tracking ovulation mattersHow to start reconnecting with your body, tune into real hunger and fullness cues, and ditch shame in favor of curiosityActionable first steps for period recovery, including why eating breakfast is a big deal!

If you're over 40 and suddenly dealing with bloating, constipation or diarrhea, weight gain, brain fog, skin issues, or painful periods, this episode explains why your gut—not your willpower—is the real place to start.In this episode, Melissa Eich breaks down why gut health is the most overlooked foundation of healing in perimenopause, why food sensitivity testing often causes more harm than clarity, and how functional testing like the GI Map reveals root causes that conventional GI care frequently misses.If you've been told to “eat more fiber,” “manage stress,” or given another prescription without real answers, this conversation will help you understand why your body feels off—and what actually works.Ready to Heal Your Gut?

Your gut plays a key role in nutrient absorption, immune health, neurotransmitter production, and estrogen detoxification.When the gut is inflamed or imbalanced, estrogen recirculates instead of being eliminated—leading to worsening hormone symptoms, persistent weight gain, and feeling “off” no matter what you try. This is why gut healing must come before focusing on hormones, HRT, or weight loss.What the GI Map Test RevealsThe GI Map stool test provides insight into:Beneficial and pathogenic bacteriaDysbiosis and overgrowthGut inflammation and permeabilityImmune activityEstrogen detox pathwaysThis allows for a targeted, personalized healing plan instead of guesswork.A Holistic Gut Health Program for PerimenopauseMelissa shares a limited-time comprehensive gut healing package that includes:At-home GI Map testingPersonalized lab interpretationA 12-week custom gut healing protocolTargeted supplements only if neededA 21-day gut reset focused on nourishment, not restrictionNervous system regulation toolsThree follow-up sessions for real support and progressThis approach focuses on restoring digestion, supporting hormone balance, and helping you feel clear, steady, and at home in your body again.Explore the program here: https://l.bttr.to/doi1xWho This Episode Is ForThis episode is for you if:You're bloated or constipated despite “doing everything right”Weight loss no longer works the way it used toYou've tried elimination diets, probiotics, or food sensitivity testingYou're dealing with gut and hormone symptoms at the same timeYou want root-cause healing—not another quick fixKey SEO Topics: Perimenopause gut health, GI Map testing, holistic gut health, gut health program perimenopause, dysbiosis, leaky gut, estrogen detoxification, hormone imbalance after 40, brain fog and gut health

A moment when Moses faithfully serves the people, yet unknowingly sets himself up for burnout. From morning to evening, Moses becomes the bottleneck, trying to handle everything alone. It isn't a lack of heart or commitment; it's a lack of sustainability.Through the wisdom of Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, we learn an uncomfortable but freeing truth: doing everything yourself doesn't make you strong; it slowly wears you down.In this episode, we talk about:How burnout can hide behind good intentionsWhy gatekeeping is not real leadershipThe danger of blind spots when you're too close to your own lifeWhy receptivity to correction mattersHow obedience requires action, not just agreementThis message is especially for leaders, creators, entrepreneurs, and believers who feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or exhausted from trying to be everything to everyone.Scripture referenced: Exodus 18Sign up for Activate Your Calling: Create, Build, & Promote Your Gift: https://bit.ly/4r0QixGSign up to be notified about Faith to Launch Community: https://bit.ly/FaithtoLaunchPlease join me in my YouTube only series, 30 Days to Becoming a Stronger, More Confident You in Christ: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkkBA4-h1A56MxObeO__s873pdUnnWQ5

PRESENTED BY: CONCRETE LOGIC ACADEMY Practical education and ongoing development for concrete professionals at every stage of their career. Join here: https://www.concretelogicacademy.com/EPISODE SUMMARYConcrete cracks are often brushed off as shrinkage, restraint, or “just part of concrete.”That mindset gets structures in trouble.In this episode of the Concrete Logic Podcast, Seth Tandett is joined by Dr. Jon Belkowitz to break down alkali-silica reaction (ASR) and alkali-aggregate reaction (AAR)—what they are, how they develop, and why they continue to surprise engineers, contractors, and owners decades after first being documented.They walk through the history of ASR, how it shows up in real structures, why it's often misdiagnosed, and how modern testing and prevention strategies are improving—but still imperfect. The core message is simple: cracks are symptoms, not root causes, and ignoring them is how durability problems turn into long-term failures.This is a practical, field-informed conversation for anyone responsible for designing, specifying, building, or maintaining concrete structures.WHAT YOU'LL LEARNWhy ASR remains one of the most misunderstood concrete durability issuesThe difference between ASR and AAR—and why the distinction mattersHow reaction-driven cracking differs from typical shrinkage or restraint crackingWhen ASR damage can accelerate faster than expectedHow ASR is identified and diagnosed in real structuresWhere current ASR testing methods work—and where they fall shortWhy prevention is still more reliable than remediationHow concrete professionals should think about cracks before they spreadCHAPTERS00:00 – Why concrete cracks should never be ignored02:11 – ASR vs. AAR: definitions and mechanisms04:50 – How ASR damages concrete over time07:47 – Identifying and diagnosing ASR in the field10:08 – Testing methods and prevention strategies13:19 – The future of ASR management in concrete structuresGUEST INFODr. Jon BelkowitzIntelligent ConcreteJon@intelligent-concrete.comCONCRETE LOGIC PARTNERSINTELLIGENT CONCRETEConcrete not behaving the way it should?Intelligent Concrete combines lab-level testing with real-world field experience to identify the true root cause of concrete performance issues—not just treat the symptoms.Reach out for help: https://www.concretelogicpodcast.com/intelligent-concreteCONCRETE LOGIC ACADEMYEarn PDHs in the same straight-talk format as the podcast:Join now: https://www.concretelogicpodcast.com/academySUPPORT THE PODCASTDid you get value out of the show?

This week on RUNWITHALLI LIVE, I'm joined by David Machin, Lead Community Organizer for Health Poverty Action, the charity I'm fundraising for as I prepare to run the 2026 London Marathon.I'll be honest: there were things I learned in this conversation that I didn't even know before diving into the topics David breaks down in this episode. It was eye-opening. I believe it will be for you, too.We discuss the reality of health poverty and why it's not a quick fix. This conversation goes beyond temporary solutions or ultra-processed “quick” foods. It's about long-term infrastructure funding, access to healthier food options, and healthcare systems that sustainably serve communities.David also explains why unrestricted funding is so critical. When funds aren't tightly restricted, organizations have the flexibility to respond where needs are greatest. Something that's especially urgent right now as government aid is being cut in ways we haven't seen before, creating widening funding gaps across global health systems.In this episode, we explore:The difference between health and health equity, and why that distinction mattersHow systemic barriers, the climate crisis, and political decisions directly impact access to careWhy NGOs are under increasing pressure, and how resilience means continuing the work even when it feels like getting punched in the faceWhy advocacy and holding decision-makers accountable for healthcare and funding cuts are JUST as important as fundraisingThe hard truth is this: things may get worse before they get better. Health poverty is systemic and deeply rooted, leading to preventable illness, disease, and loss of life in communities with inaccessible health resources.And yet what left me hopeful is that Health Poverty Action is doing the work anyway. They're raising funds, building awareness, supporting community-led solutions, and continuing to show up despite immense challenges. Every single dollar goes a long way, but there is still meaningful work ahead!This episode is a reminder that endurance athletes, and humans in general, can use their voices, platforms, and miles to help bridge gaps, elevate conversations, and push for change.A Small Ask With Big ImpactIf you're able to donate, please know this: unrestricted funds give organizations the flexibility to act where the need is greatest. With government aid being cut and funding gaps growing, even small contributions matter more than ever. If donating isn't possible right now, sharing this episode helps amplify awareness. And that matters, too. Donate here: https://2026tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/allison-felsenthalWhether you're an endurance athlete, new to running, or just curious, I hope this episode inspires you, deepens your understanding of why we run, and shows how our footsteps can create real impact by supporting charities and communities that need it most.Connect with Health Poverty Action:WebsiteLinkedInInstagramEmailIf you enjoyed this episode, head to Apple Podcasts and tap the +Follow button to stay in the loop.

Recorded live from the Actsplore This Building Influence workshop in Kuala Lumpur, we sat down with Prof Dr Ong Kian Ming and Zalina Jamaluddin to unpack how we can lead with impact -  through intention, curiosity, and the courage to act before you feel “ready.”Together, we explored:What influence really means and why it mattersHow to lead and create impact before you have the titleBuilding trust with sceptical stakeholders and competing interestsThe role of networks and social capital in amplifying influenceProf Dr Ong Kian Ming is the Executive Director of RGE and an Adjunct Professor at Taylor's University. Prior to this, he served as Malaysia's Deputy Minister of International Trade and Industry (2018–2020) and was a two-term Member of Parliament.

With over 20 years of experience across the private and public sectors, she has held senior roles at ExxonMobil and Talisman Energy, was a founding member and Vice President of the Malaysia Petroleum Resources Corporation (MPRC), and currently serves as Vice Chairman of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE).To everyone who joined us live at the Building Influence workshop  - thank you for showing up with such openness, curiosity, and energy. We're truly grateful you chose to kick-start 2026 with us. And to those tuning in now, we hope this conversation sparks a reminder that influence doesn't begin with a title; it begins with how you choose to show up, right where you are.

Let Your Body LeadIn a world that moves at relentless speed, many of us find ourselves living almost entirely in our heads—rushing, pushing, managing time, and overriding the quiet wisdom of the body.In this episode, I invite you to slow down and explore sensual, non-linear movement as a gentle yet powerful pathway back into presence, healing, and inner rhythm.We explore the difference between Kronos time—clock time, productivity, and pressure—and Kairos time, or soul time: the spacious, cyclical rhythm where the body naturally heals, digests, and integrates life.Through reflection, teaching, and a guided embodied practice, you'll be invited to release story and let sensation lead you home.This episode is especially supportive if you've been feeling:overwhelmed or overstimulateddisconnected from your bodyemotionally stuck or looping in your mindtense, numb, or out of synccurious about movement as medicine rather than exerciseIn this episode, we explore:Why the body heals in Kairos time, not Kronos timeHow digestion, repair, and emotional processing require safety and slownessWhat “sensation over story” really means—and why it mattersHow sensual, wave-like movement supports nervous system regulationWhy pleasure, breath, and rhythm are essential for modern womenA gentle 5-minute sensual movement practice to help you drop into soul timeThis is an invitation to let your body lead, to listen inwardly, and to reconnect with the wisdom that's already alive within you.Let's dive in!

www.marktreichel.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-treichel/In this episode of With Flying Colors, Mark Treichel is joined by former NCUA leaders Geoff Bacino, Alonzo Swann, and John McKechnie for a timely and candid discussion about Chairman Kyle Hauptman's appointment to the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) — and what it signals for the future of the NCUA.While the announcement appears straightforward, the panel explains why it creates a ripple effect across the agency, including questions about leadership continuity, pending lawsuits, board vacancies, staff reductions, and the broader stability of the regulator at a critical time for credit unions.This conversation goes beyond speculation and into how the agency actually functions when leadership is in flux — from delegation of authority to examiner operations to internal morale.You'll hear insider perspective on:Why Hauptman's “intent to remain” language mattersHow the Slaughter/Harper lawsuits could determine the shape of the future boardWhat a one-member board means in practiceWhy notation votes and lack of public discussion are becoming a concernThe real impact of a 27% staff reduction at NCUAHow agency expertise gaps are affecting morale and operationsThe upcoming interest rate ceiling decision and why it may be politically sensitiveWhy the agency may be “running itself” more than people realizeWhat happens if the Supreme Court changes how independent boards operatePredictions on who may replace Hauptman and what that means for credit unionsThe panel also discusses how political dynamics, Senate control, and White House strategy could shape the next NCUA board in ways credit unions haven't seen before.Despite the uncertainty, one theme is clear: the blocking and tackling of supervision continues, but major structural decisions are happening quietly beneath the surface.This episode is essential listening for anyone trying to understand where NCUA is headed in 2026.

Feel it. Trust it.” — and why it mattersHow purpose (“your why”) fuels longevity in rodeoWhy “just making the finals” is a losing goalHow mental reps fire the same muscles as physical repsBuilding confidence without egoFixing mistakes without stepping into the practice penIf you've ever wondered why some competitors shine under pressure while others fade, this episode explains it—clearly, honestly, and from lived experience.Because great rides don't start in the arena.

Motherhood overwhelm is something nearly every mom experiences — even in a world filled with modern conveniences. In today's heartfelt and practical conversation I chat with Jamie Erickson, homeschool mom of five, author of The Overwhelmed Mom, and host of the Mom2Mom Podcast, to explore why overwhelm feels so pervasive for twenty-first-century mothers and how we can find peace without trying to fix everything at once.Jamie shares her personal journey into homeschooling, how her background as a classroom teacher shaped her convictions, and why God's calling for one family isn't a mandate for all. Together, Amy and Jamie unpack the difference between everyday tiredness and deeper overwhelm, identifying three distinct types of overwhelm that require different responses.You'll hear Jamie explain how comparison, overcommitment, and taking on responsibilities that belong to others often fuel exhaustion. She offers a freeing perspective on “living in your season,” encouraging moms to see God's boundaries not as limitations, but as protection — especially when seasons feel long or unending.One of the most powerful moments in the episode comes when Jamie shares a deeply personal story of crisis while writing her book, when her son became critically ill. Through that experience, she witnessed how faithful routines and a strong Christian community became tangible expressions of God's care during acute overwhelm.This conversation is filled with practical wisdom, including:How small, incremental changes can dramatically reduce stressWhy narrating a better story about your life mattersHow five-to-ten-minute pockets of time can be redeemedWhy community is essential during overwhelming seasonsHow the Gospel meets us in burnout and sufferingIf you are a mom who feels stretched thin, burdened, or stuck in survival mode — whether you homeschool or not — this episode will encourage you to slow down, release unnecessary guilt, and trust God with what you were never meant to carry alone.

Have you ever wondered why certain experiences stay with you long after the moment has passed, even when you try to move on?In this episode of A Life of Greatness, Sarah Grynberg sits down with Bessel van der Kolk, world-renowned psychiatrist, trauma researcher, and author of the groundbreaking book The Body Keeps the Score. A leading voice in understanding how trauma shapes the brain, body, and behaviour, Bessel shares decades of clinical insight into why trauma keeps people stuck and what it actually takes to heal.In this episode, you will learn:How trauma is defined and why it keeps people frozen in the pastWhy childhood trauma is far more common than most people realiseWhat repair really means in parenting and why predictability mattersHow therapies like EMDR and neurofeedback help rewire the brainThe role of the body, movement, and community in long-term healingWhy medication can help some people, but rarely creates true change on its ownThis episode is a powerful reminder that healing is possible, that the body can learn safety again, and that with the right support, people can return to who they truly are.Purchase tickets to Bessel's Australian tour in April 26' here: https://collections.humanitix.com/dr-bessel-van-der-kolk-livePurchase Sarah's book: Living A Life Of Greatness here.To purchase Living A Life of Greatness outside Australia here or here.Watch A Life of Greatness Episodes On Youtube here.Sign up for Sarah's newsletter (Greatness Guide) here.Purchase Sarah's Meditations here.Instagram: @sarahgrynberg Website: https://sarahgrynberg.com/Facebook: facebook.com/sarahgrynbergTwitter: twitter.com/sarahgrynberg Hosted on Acast.

Send a text for comments or topics ideas!  This Season Is Hard!As we move out of January and head into February, many of us are realizing something we forgot every year… this season is hard. The post-holiday letdown, cold weather, darker days, disrupted routines, snow days, travel, sick kids — it all adds up. And suddenly those well-intentioned New Year goals feel heavier than expected. In today's Weight Loss Wednesday episode, we're having an honest conversation about pivoting instead of quitting — and why the “I'll start later” mentality keeps so many women stuck. You'll hear why every choice still matters, even when the day doesn't go as planned, and how learning to flex with life (instead of fighting it) can be the difference between long-term success and another restart cycle. We also dive into a powerful coaching moment around “Last Supper Syndrome” — that urgent, sneaky mindset that shows up when change feels temporary or restricted (like waiting on a medication switch or a disrupted routine). Recognizing it early can save weeks — or months — of lost momentum. This episode is your reminder that: You don't need a perfect day to make progressYou don't need to wait for Monday, February, or “when things calm down”And you are not failing — you're simply navigating real lifeIn this episode, we cover: Why January often feels harder than we expectHow rigid planning leads to the “start over” cycleWhat to do when routines are disrupted by travel, weather, or family lifeThe “Last Supper Syndrome” mindset and how to stop it in its tracksWhy 10 minutes of movement still mattersHow small choices compound into real resultsA simple visual tool to help you see your daily “votes” for healthWhy accountability and coaching accelerate awareness and changeJames Clear says every positive action is a vote for the person you want to become — and you don't need all the votes to win, just the majority. Today's episode will help you start casting those votes again… right now, not later.

In this episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn Simmons is joined by Dr. Erica Schwartz, a pioneer in hormone and integrative medicine, for a blunt conversation about menopause, hormone replacement therapy, and why women are still being denied care that protects their long-term health.Together, they get real about why modern medicine still runs on a “wait until you're sick” model, why hospitals can be the most dangerous place to heal, and how the system trains both doctors and patients to outsource responsibility. They break down the lasting damage of the Women's Health Initiative, the fear-based messaging around estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, and the real-world consequences of medical gatekeeping from pharmacies to hospitals. This is a conversation about truth, autonomy, and what it actually looks like to practice medicine from the whole-body, whole-life perspective.In this episode you'll learn:Why conventional medicine is built for acute care, not long-term healthHow the Women's Health Initiative changed hormone care for generations of womenWhy “just deal with it” menopause advice is harmful (and wildly outdated)What estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone actually do in the female bodyWhy testosterone for women is still restricted and why that mattersHow medical errors and hospital systems put patients at riskWhy taking responsibility for your health isn't optional anymoreEpisode Timeline:00:00 The Crisis in Conventional Medicine03:54 Dr. Schwartz's Journey to Holistic Health09:59 The Shift from Acute Care to Preventative Health17:47 The Importance of Hormonal Health25:29 The Impact of Alcohol on Health28:10 Nutrition and Cancer: A Misunderstood Connection30:55 The Role of Hormones in Health36:06 Understanding the Importance of Hormones40:24 The Truth About Cancer and Hormones44:38 Empowering Patients in Their Health Journey47:45 The Need for Compassionate Care in Medicine51:03 Introduction to Breast Health AwarenessDr. Erica SchwartzVisit her Website: www.eshealth.com/Follow her on Instagram: www.instagram.com/eshealth/To talk to a member of Dr. Jenn's team and learn more about working privately with RHMD, visit: https://jennsimmons.simplero.com/page/377266?kuid=327aca17-5135-44cf-9210-c0b77a56e26d&kref=vOKy0sAiorrKTo get your copy of Dr. Jenn's book, The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer, visit: https://tinyurl.com/SmartWomansBreastCancerGuideTo purchase the auria breast cancer screening test go here https://auria.care/ and use the code DRJENN20 for 20% Off.Connect with Dr. Jenn:Website: https://www.jennsimmonsmd.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrJennSimmonsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjennsimmons/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jennsimmons

In this episode of Together 4 Good, I'm joined by Kate Souther, who just completed her first semester at Candler School of Theology in Atlanta, Georgia. During our conversation we talk about what seminary is really like, why theology still matters, and how faith can grow not just through prayer and worship, but also through reading, studying, and thinking deeply. Kate shares her experience studying pastoral care, Christian history, and contextual education. She reflects on her work with refugee children in an afterschool program and gained the knowledge that play, presence, and community impact ministry. We also talked about calling: how Kate first fell in love with theology in middle school, how being told “no” pushed her into becoming a Pastor, and what draws her into the idea of being a parish pastor. You'll learn:Why seminary still mattersHow theology connects to everyday lifeWhat is means to feel “where you're supposed to be”How faith can be strengthened through learningConnect with us wherever you get your podcasts and for more on Bethany Lutheran Church in Denver, CO visit: https://linktr.ee/bethanydenver

If you've ever wondered why you keep starting over with weight loss, why motivation fades the moment it gets hard, or why you know what to do but still can't seem to follow through, this episode will stop you in your tracks.This is not another weight loss hack.This is not a shortcut.And this is definitely not a “try harder” message.In this episode, I'm breaking open the real reason women keep quitting on weight loss, and it has far less to do with food and far more to do with who you are becoming.Most women are focused on the outcome, losing the weight, changing the body, hitting the goal.But God is focused on formation.Scripture teaches that when faith is tested, endurance is produced, and endurance is the inner strength that develops the behavior of perseverance. If perseverance has been missing in your weight loss journey, it's not because you're weak. It's because endurance has never been allowed to grow.In this episode, we talk about:Why motivation keeps failing you in weight lossHow self-help and willpower Christianity keep you stuckWhy discomfort isn't a sign to quit, but an invitation to growThe difference between endurance and perseverance, and why it mattersHow trusting your senses over God leads to self-sabotageWhat it actually means to be discipled in embodiment, living Spirit-led in your bodyWhy weight loss is often the training ground God uses to build characterHow becoming steady, faithful, and Spirit-led changes everythingThis episode will help you see your weight loss journey through a biblical lens, lift the veil between flesh-led living and Spirit-led obedience, and give you a vision for what is possible when you stop focusing on the scale and start focusing on who you are becoming.If you've been stuck in cycles of starting and stopping, this message will bring clarity, conviction, hope, and a renewed understanding of how God forms strength in you, not through ease, but through endurance.Your weight loss is not the problem.It's the invitation.And when endurance is allowed to work, perseverance follows.That's how women stop quitting.That's how transformation lasts.That's how you become the woman who lost the weight.If this episode speaks to you, I want to invite you into The Seeker's Method, where weight loss becomes discipleship and your physical journey becomes a place of spiritual formation, coaching, and community.This is where women learn how to live Spirit-led in their bodies, develop endurance, walk in perseverance, and finally stop quitting.Visit my website:

In this Think Thursday episode, Molly breaks down a powerful concept at the heart of sustainable habit change: micro-yeses. These are the small, often overlooked decisions that align with your long-term goals—even if they feel too minor to matter.Whether you're working on behavior change related to exercise, diet, spending, screen time, or any other habit, micro-yeses are the building blocks of momentum. This episode explores how these tiny choices affect the brain, create identity shifts, and lead to real progress over time.Key Topics CoveredWhat a "micro-yes" is and why it mattersHow small decisions activate the prefrontal cortex and build new neural pathwaysWhy repetition, not perfection, drives real behavior changeThe role of self-recognition in maintaining motivationWhat behavior scientists like BJ Fogg say about starting smallScience and InsightsMicro-yeses interrupt automatic behavior loops by engaging intentional brain regions like the prefrontal cortexThrough consistent action, these moments create synaptic plasticity, helping rewire the brain for new habitsAs Stanford researcher BJ Fogg notes:“Tiny actions, repeated consistently, change identity.”Reflection Prompt:Where have you said yes to yourself this week, even in a small or imperfect way?Recognize it.
