In June 2025 at YNAB Fan Fest Minneapolis, Jesse gave a talk about how money is a medium -- not just of exchange, but, ultimately, of you. When you really examine what it is that money does in the world, it is a thing which translates your energy and effort (required to earn the money) into tangible goods and services. When you draw a throughline between your work and your spending, money just falls away. It's simply a medium for you to express yourself in the world.   Sign up for YNAB Fan Fest updates: https://www.ynab.com/events   Watch The Jesse Mecham Show on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jessemechamshow   Got a question for Jesse?

In the journey toward healing, survivors often find that intentional practices like sober sex foster a deeper emotional and physical intimacy, essential for their trauma recovery. This emphasis on connection stands in stark contrast to much mainstream sexual messaging, which frequently excludes the necessary emotional components for true sexual well-being. Development of safe relationships is threatened when media and politics overstep their bounds, making autonomous sexual expression and recovery a constant social and personal endeavor.*This episode explores human sexuality and is intended for mature listeners.. To lay the foundation for how intimacy is the cornerstone of sexual wellbeing, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with two authors and experts in trauma and sexuality, Dr. Stephanie Covington and Dr. Vanessa Carlisle. Discussing their co-authored book, Awaken Your Sexuality: A Guide to Connection and Intimacy after Addiction and Trauma, Dr. Covington and Dr. Carlisle explore its core principles from various viewpoints. In the book, they examine the diverse facets of human sexuality, including the issues of entitlement and control that frequently surround it.

After simultaneous layoffs, Mike Deaton and his wife rejected the default return to corporate life. Instead, they clarified core values, defined anti-values, and designed a purpose-led path into real estate—launching Flipping Dirt, a coaching practice, and partnerships in commercial syndications. Mike connects mindset, health, and business through ultra-endurance training, showing how grit, clear decision frameworks, and value-driven operations translate to profit without losing integrity. This direct conversation breaks down how to rank your values, avoid reactive choices, and turn a crisis into a practical roadmap for entrepreneurship and life. About the guest  : Mike Deaton is a former big-tech leader (Motorola, Nokia, Microsoft) turned real-estate entrepreneur, coach, and ultra-endurance athlete. He co-founded Flipping Dirt, has partnered on major commercial deals, and now builds Life Elevated, a personal brand focused on performance, grit, and purpose. Key takeaways: Values are decision filters: ranking core values and defining anti-values reduces anxiety and speeds choices under pressure. Safety is a mindset, not a salary: a layoff can expose false security and open the door to owner-driven control. Design the day first: journaling an “ideal day” helps reverse-engineer business models, schedules, and priorities. Mission > margins: lead with a client-serving mission (e.g., accessible owner financing) and margins follow sustainably. Review cadence matters: revisit vision, mission, and metrics quarterly to prevent drift toward short-term profits only. Authenticity converts: when values drive offers and delivery, brands resonate and buyer trust increases. Endurance mindset for business: break “100-mile” goals into the next mile/aid station—small, winnable steps compound. Get a guide: a coach or structured framework accelerates clarity during transitions. Time audit: reclaim minutes from passive scrolling for reflective work that compounds returns.

On this episode of Healthy Waves, Avik talks with Barbara Palmer, an occupational therapist turned executive & life coach, about MAP (Make Anything Possible)—a neuroscience-informed coaching method aimed at neutralizing limiting beliefs and aligning with a clear inner vision. We dig into how MAP engages the superconscious to dissolve resistance, why “going within” beats chasing external fixes, and practical steps—like mindful journaling and simple meditation—to regain calm, focus, and follow-through. If you're stuck, overwhelmed, or second-guessing your path, this conversation keeps it direct: fewer hacks, more evidence-led inner work that actually shifts behavior.   About the guest  : Barbara Palmer is a Registered & Licensed Occupational Therapist, Certified MAP Practitioner, Executive Coach, Movie Method Transformational Coach, Certified Health Coach, former college professor & program director, and author of “Happy, Healthy, Whole: A Health and Well-Being Workbook.” Through BP Life Coaching Services, LLC (Houston, Texas), she blends neuroscience, psychology, spirituality, and decades of healthcare leadership to help clients re-pattern beliefs and create sustainable change.   Key takeaways  : MAP (Make Anything Possible) in plain terms: a structured, repeatable process that engages the superconscious to identify and clear mindset and memory barriers that block goals. From reaction to intention: lasting change starts by “living from the end”—holding a felt vision of the outcome and letting action follow, instead of chasing external fixes. Compassion beats perfectionism: progress accelerates when you stop self-judgment and build self-respect; how you treat yourself shapes what you can give others. Body–mind–energy connection: thought shifts can reduce reactivity and support better physical regulation; clients often report calmer breathing and less tension after sessions. Starter toolkit for stuck moments: (1) Noticing journal—track thoughts, feelings, triggers, and patterns; (2) Simple meditation—train the mind to rest so you can be present under pressure; (3) MAP on-the-go prompt—a brief inner request to the superconscious before challenging situations to reset state. Coach's edge: Barbara's healthcare + leadership background helps translate deep inner work into practical, team-ready behavior change.   Connect with the guest   You can connect with Barbara Palmer through BP Life Coaching Services, LLC.

Death in a Police Battle, Trauma as a Combat Veteran and Childhood.“From surviving horrific childhood abuse to fighting wars overseas, and later facing tragedy in uniform, Joe Smarro's life is a story of trauma, transformation, and a relentless drive to heal.” This episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available for free on our website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most podcast platforms. Joe Smarro, a former San Antonio Police Officer and decorated U.S. Marine Corps combat veteran, has walked through some of life's darkest battles, both internal and external. His story begins in a childhood marked by extreme abuse, physical, emotional, and sexual. “I experienced things no child ever should,” Joe shares. “I left home at 15 just to survive.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. By 17, he was a father, a role that forced him to grow up even faster. With the responsibilities of parenthood and the desire to build a better future, Joe joined the United States Marine Corps. He deployed twice to Iraq, serving in both Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom, earning recognition for his bravery and service. But like so many others, Joe came home from war carrying invisible wounds. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . After leaving the military, Joe found a new sense of duty in law enforcement, joining the San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) in 2005. However, his time as an officer would soon test him in ways he could never have imagined. While still a probationary officer, Joe was involved in a violent confrontation that ended in a death in a police battle. “It was the moment everything changed,” he recalls. “The fight, the death, the silence afterward, it all forced me to confront the trauma I'd been burying since childhood and combat.” Death in a Police Battle, Trauma as a Combat Veteran and Childhood. That moment became a turning point. Joe began to realize that his struggles, his pain, guilt, and emotional turmoil, were not weaknesses but warning signs. Signs that he, like many others, was carrying deep trauma as a combat veteran and as a police officer. Instead of running from it, Joe made a choice, to face it head-on and help others do the same. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. Joe became one of the founding members of the SAPD Mental Health Unit (MHU), a groundbreaking program created to improve how police respond to individuals in crisis. What began as a small initiative grew into a nationally recognized model for compassionate policing, earning national and international awards for excellence. “We wanted to change the narrative, to bring empathy back to policing,” Joe explains. For more than 11 years, Joe served in that unit, developing training and protocols that have since influenced departments across the United States. His work, both on the streets and behind the scenes, showed that when law enforcement meets mental health with compassion, lives are saved, and trust is rebuilt. Joe's story gained national attention through the Emmy Award-winning documentary, Ernie & Joe: Crisis Cops, which follows two officers as they work to change how police respond to mental health calls in San Antonio. The film, supported by the IDA Enterprise Fund, Fork Films, and The Lovell Foundation, has been shown worldwide, sparking critical conversations about mental health, policing, and reform. Death in a Police Battle, Trauma as a Combat Veteran and Childhood. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. He also took his message to the stage, delivering a powerful TEDx San Antonio talk titled “I See You,” where he shared his belief in the power of empathy, understanding, and human connection. “We all want to be seen,” Joe said during that talk. “We all want to know we matter.” In 2017, Joe founded SolutionPoint+, a company dedicated to bridging the gap between criminal justice and behavioral health systems. As CEO, he leads a team that provides training, consulting, and speaking engagements nationwide, helping police departments, healthcare providers, and organizations create trauma-informed, emotionally intelligent workplaces. Joe's personal mission has evolved into a powerful national movement. His “big, hairy, audacious goal” is to eradicate suicide among all first responders, starting with law enforcement officers. “No one should have to carry their trauma alone,” Joe says. “Not a child, not a combat veteran, and not a cop.” His work has been featured across major News outlets, on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast Social Media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, and on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, where he continues to reach new audiences through interviews and advocacy work. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Through his ongoing journey of healing, Joe Smarro reminds the world that trauma does not define you, what you do with it does. From a broken childhood to battlefields and beyond, his story is one of redemption, purpose, and service. Death in a Police Battle, Trauma as a Combat Veteran and Childhood. “I've lived through death, war, and despair. But I've also seen hope, healing, and the human capacity for change. That's why I share my story, because someone out there needs to know they're not alone.” Joe Smarro Follow Joe's work and mission through SolutionPoint+ and connect on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Apple, Spotify, and across the Internet.

Why do small moments unleash outsized reactions? In this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, clinical psychologist Dr. Tony Iezzi explains reenactments—those unconscious loops that pull us back into old stories. We unpack how everyday interactions can echo deeper themes like shame, abandonment, betrayal, or not being heard, and the 5-step approach to notice, regulate, name the theme, plan, and act differently. Straight talk, practical examples, and a clear path to break the cycle and respond with choice, not conditioning. About the guest   Dr. Tony Iezzi is a clinical psychologist with 35+ years on the front lines of trauma recovery and co-author of Reenactments: Break the Behavior Patterns That Keep You Stuck in Trauma, Stress, and Everyday Life. His work helps people identify the core themes driving their reactions and replace automatic loops with intentional responses. Key takeaways (bullet points)   Reenactments = patterned loops where body–mind–brain replay past responses in present situations; it's not only “big T” trauma—everyday moments can trigger old themes. Themes drive reactions (loss, abandonment, betrayal, humiliation, feeling unseen, feeling trapped, rescuer/underdog roles). Treat the theme, not just the obvious trigger. Normal reaction vs reenactment: normal passes quickly; reenactment lingers (hours/days) and feels disproportionate or hard to trace. Lingering is a red flag. Awareness is step one. Use daily journaling or meditation to capture incidents, feelings, and the underlying theme (e.g., “I felt shamed in that meeting”). Five-step method: 1) Awareness something happened; 2) Regulate (walk, journal, quiet time) to think clearly; 3) Name the theme; 4) Plan a different response; 5) Execute (e.g., a direct, calm conversation next day). Motives matter: act from self-respect and needs, not people-pleasing; otherwise you recreate the loop. Expect recurrence. Triggers will happen; the goal isn't zero triggers—it's choosing differently when they appear. Face it, don't avoid it. Avoidance keeps you stuck; approach the scary moment with a prepared plan to reclaim your voice and align with who you want to be.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, guest host Aanya talks with innovation coach and life-design expert Ibeth Ayala, author of No Risk, No Fun and From the Ground Up. This conversation cuts through buzzwords to show how real innovation begins with self-honesty, not strategy decks. Ibeth unpacks her Connect → Create → Try framework, how to spot rising stress before burnout, and why “permission to fail” accelerates progress in careers and companies—especially in legacy industries like insurance. If you're navigating exhaustion, change, or a high-stakes role, this episode offers a direct path to clarity, creativity, and sustainable action. About the Guest  : Ibeth Ayala is an innovation coach, life-design expert, and internationally best-selling author. After a personal reset in her 20s, she's spent years guiding leaders and teams to shift from burnout to bold creativity, building innovation capacity across sectors from insurance to aviation. Key Takeaways: Innovation is an inner game first. External tactics don't land without personal clarity on needs, priorities, and values. Burnout ≠ only about work. Life stress compounds; address the whole system—relationships, health, money, career—rather than a single silo. Use the 3-step loop:Connect (self-check: what do I need?), Create (options, reframes), Try (small experiments to validate). Catch stress early. Rate stress 1–10 and intervene sooner; prevention beats recovery. Drop inherited beliefs. Question norms like “marriage/work is supposed to be hard” and choose what actually serves your life design. Permission to fail—fast. In teams, name failure as expected learning. The sooner you see what doesn't work, the faster you progress. Risk drives momentum. No risk, no fun: calibrated risks unlock creativity and engagement, especially in traditional sectors. Context matters. Diets, routines, and advice are abstractions until personalized to age, health, history, and goals. Design your “ground.” Clear the old (assumptions, limits) before planting new habits—like prepping soil before a garden. Sustainable innovation = ongoing tuning. You don't need to hit rock bottom; build awareness and adjust before crisis.

What's shakin'? I went all in today with someone who truly understands the evolution of digital marketing — John Sampogna, co-founder and CEO of Wonder Sauce, a creative agency behind some of the most innovative brand stories out there. John's worked with massive names like Samsung, Brookfield, and Subway, and been featured in outlets like CNBC, Yahoo, and Digiday — but what really stood out in this convo was his honesty about what makes modern marketing work. We dug deep into the difference between branding and marketing, how companies get lost chasing performance metrics, and why storytelling and authenticity still reign supreme. John also dropped major insight on how AI is transforming the creative world — not replacing creators, but enhancing them. We even got into how his team uses AI responsibly to make campaigns smarter, faster, and more human. This one is for every entrepreneur, marketer, and creator trying to navigate the new digital frontier. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by “hustle culture” in marketing or wondered how to stand out in a noisy world, this episode is your playbook.We Meet: John Sampogna, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of WondersauceConnect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanConnect with John: www.wondersauce.comSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLINAbout John: John Sampogna is the Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of Wondersauce, an agency specializing in brand storytelling, paid media, e-commerce, and digital experiences.

In episode 112 of Going Forward, Eric Elliott is joined by Michael Scarpati, co-founder and CEO of RetireUS, to expose the hard truths behind financial planning today. From the myth of “set it and forget it” retirement accounts to the hidden toll of financial stress, he explains why doing nothing may be the most dangerous decision of all.Together, they unpack why 85% of financial professionals aren't required to act in your best interest, how trust in big-name institutions can leave families vulnerable, and why financial wellness is really a form of mental wellness. As Michael shares, financial stress doesn't stay in your bank account, it bleeds into your health, relationships, and leadership.Eric and Michael dive into how fintech is opening access for the 98%, how independent fiduciaries are reshaping trust, and why clarity with money is the key to leading with confidence in uncertain times. Whether you're early in your career, preparing for retirement, or leading a business through chaos, this conversation will give you the clarity to stop "crockpotting" your future and start planning it with intention.Connect w/ Eric Elliott:Website: https://ericelliott.com/⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-elliott-45704745/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ericmelliott/Twitter: https://x.com/ericmelliottLinktree: https://linktr.ee/ericmelliottEmail: Eric@EricElliott.comText: 843-279-5843Connect w/ Michael Scarpati:Website: https://retire.us/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-a-scarpati/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/retire.usSupercharge your online advertising campaigns with Optmyzr!Streamline management, optimize performance, and boost your ROI.

What happens after we die? Can mediums really talk to the dead?In this episode of DEAD Talks, I speak with a psychic medium about grief, the afterlife, and the signs our loved ones send us. We dive into what death teaches us, how mediums connect across the veil, and why skeptics may be missing the point.

AI Assisted Coding: Beyond AI Code Assistants: How Moldable Development Answers Questions AI Can't With Tudor Girba In this BONUS episode, we explore Moldable Development with Tudor Girba, CEO of feenk.com and creator of the Glamorous Toolkit. We dive into why developers spend over 50% of their time reading code—not because they want to, but because they lack the answers they need. Tudor shares how building contextual tools can transform software development, making systems truly understandable and enabling decisions at the speed of thought. The Hidden System: A Telco's Three-Year Quest "They had a system consisting of five boxes, but they could only enumerate four. If this is your level of awareness about what is reality around you, you have almost no chance of systematically affecting that reality." Tudor opens with a striking case study from a telecommunications company that spent three years and hundreds of person-years trying to optimize a data pipeline. Despite massive effort and executive mandate, the pipeline still took exactly one day to process data—no improvement whatsoever. When Tudor's team investigated, they asked for an architecture diagram. The team drew four boxes representing their system. But when Tudor's team started building tools to mirror this architecture back from the actual code, they discovered something shocking: there was an entire fifth system between the first and second boxes that nobody knew existed. This missing system was likely the bottleneck they'd been trying to optimize for three years. Why Reading Code Doesn't Scale "Developers spend more than 50% of their time reading code. The problem is that our systems are typically larger than anyone can read, and by the time you finish reading, the system has already changed many times." The real issue isn't the time spent reading—it's that reading is the most manual, least scalable way to extract information from systems. When developers read code, they're actually trying to answer questions so they can make decisions. But a 250,000-line system would take one person-month to read at high speed, and the system changes constantly during that time. This means everything you learned yesterday becomes merely a hypothesis, not a reliable answer. The fundamental problem is that we cannot perceive anything in a software system except through tools, yet we've never made how we read code an explicit, optimizable activity. The Context Problem: Why Generic Tools Fail "Software is highly contextual, which means we can predict classes of problems people will have, but we cannot predict specific problems people will have." Tudor draws a powerful parallel with testing. Nobody downloads unit tests from the web and applies them to their system—that would be absurd. Instead, we download test frameworks and build tests contextually for our specific system, encoding what's valuable about our particular business logic. Yet for almost everything else in software development, we download generic tools and expect them to work. This is why teams have tens of thousands of static analysis warnings they ignore, while a single failing test stops deployment. The test encodes contextual value; the generic warning doesn't. Moldable Development extends this principle: every question about your system should be answered by a contextual tool you build for that specific question. Tools That Mirror Your Mental Model "Whatever you draw on the whiteboard—that's your mental model. But as soon as the system exists, we want the system to mirror you back that thing. We make it the job of the system to show our mental model back to us." When someone draws an architecture diagram on a whiteboard, they're not documenting the system—they're documenting their beliefs about the system. The diagram represents wishes when drawn before the system exists, but beliefs when drawn after. Moldable Development flips this: instead of humans reading code and creating approximations, the system itself generates the visualization directly from the actual code. This eliminates the layers of belief and inference. Whether you're looking at high-level architecture, data lineage across multiple technologies, performance bottlenecks, or business domain structure, you build small tools that extract and present exactly the information you need from the system as it actually is. The Test-Driven Development Parallel "Testing was a way to find some kind of class of answers. But there are many other questions we have, and the question is: is there a systematic way to approach arbitrary questions?" Tudor explains that Moldable Development applies test-driven development principles to all forms of system understanding. Just as we write tests after we understand the functionality we need, we build visualization and analysis tools after we understand the questions we need answered. Both approaches share key characteristics: they're built contextually for the specific system, created by developers during development, and composed of many small tools that collectively model the system. The difference is that TDD focuses on functional decomposition and known expectations, while Moldable Development addresses architecture, security, domain structure, performance, and any other perspective where functional tests aren't the most useful decomposition. From Thousands of Features to Thousands of Tools "In my development environment, I don't have features. I have thousands of tools that coexist. Development environments should be focused not on what exists out of the box, but on how quickly you can create a contextual tool." Traditional development environments offer dozens of features—buttons, plugins, generic views. But Moldable Development environments contain thousands of micro-tools, each answering a specific question about a specific system. The key is making these tools composable and fast to create. Rather than building monolithic tools that try to handle every scenario, you build small inspectors that show one perspective on one object or concept. These inspectors chain together naturally as you drill down from high-level questions to detailed investigations. You might have one inspector showing test failures grouped by exception type, another showing PDF document comparisons, another showing cluster performance, and another showing memory usage—all coexisting and available when needed. The Real Bottleneck To Learning A System: Time to the Next Question "Once you do this, you will see that the interesting bottleneck is in the time to the next interesting question. This is by far the most interesting place to be spending energy." When you commoditize access to answers through contextual tools, something remarkable happens: the bottleneck shifts from getting answers to asking better questions. Right now, because answers come so slowly through manual reading and analysis, we rarely exercise the skill of formulating good questions. We make decisions based on gut feelings and incomplete data because we can't afford to dig deeper. But when answers arrive at the speed of thought, you can explore, follow hunches, test hypotheses, and develop genuine insight. The conversation between person and system becomes fluid, enabling decision-making based on actual evidence rather than belief. Moldable Development in Practice: The Lifeware Case "They are investing in software engineering as their competitive advantage. They have 150,000 tests that would take 10 days to run on a single machine, but they run them in 16 minutes distributed across AWS." Tudor shares a powerful case study of Lifeware, a life insurance software company that was featured in Kent Beck's "Test-Driven Development by Example" in 2002 with 4,000 tests. Today they have 150,000 tests and have fully adopted Moldable Development as their core practice. Their business model is remarkable: they take data from insurance companies, throw away the old systems, and reverse-engineer new systems by TDD-ing the business—replaying history to produce pixel-identical documents. They've deployed Glamorous Toolkit as their sole development environment across 100+ developers. Their approach demonstrates that Moldable Development isn't just a research concept but a practical competitive advantage that scales to large teams and complex systems. Why AI Doesn't Solve This Problem "When you ask AI, you will get exactly the same kind of answers. The answer comes quickly, but you will not know whether this is accurate, whether this represents the whole thing, and you definitely do not have an explanation as to why the answer is the way it is." In the age of AI code assistants, it might seem like language models could solve the problem of understanding systems. But Tudor explains why they can't. When you ask an AI about your architecture, you get an opinion—fast but unverifiable. Just like asking a developer to draw the architecture on a whiteboard, you receive filtered information without knowing if it's complete or accurate. Moldable Development, by contrast, extracts answers deterministically from the actual system. Software systems have almost no ambiguity in meaning—they're mathematical, not linguistic. We don't need probabilistic interpretation of source code; we need precise extraction and presentation. The tools you build give you not just answers but explanations of how those answers were derived from the actual system state. Scaling Through Language, Not Features "You need a new kind of development environment where the goal is to create tools much quicker. You need some sort of language in which to express development environments." The technical challenge of Moldable Development is enabling thousands of tools to coexist productively. This requires a fundamentally different approach to development environments. Instead of adding features—buttons and menu items that quickly become overwhelming—you need a language for expressing tools and a system for composing them. Glamorous Toolkit demonstrates this through its inspector architecture, where any object can define custom views that appear contextually. These views compose naturally as you navigate through your investigation, reusing earlier perspectives while adding new ones. The environment becomes a medium for tool creation, not just a collection of pre-built features. Making the Invisible Visible "We cannot perceive anything in a software system except through a tool. If that's so important, then the ability to control that shape is probably kind of important too." Software has no inherent shape—it's just data. Every perception we have of it comes through some tool that renders it into a form we can reason about. This means tools aren't nice-to-have accessories; they're fundamental to our ability to work with software at all. The text editor showing code is a tool. The debugger showing variables is a tool. But these are generic tools built once and reused everywhere, which means they show generic perspectives. What if we could control the shape of our software as easily as we write it? What if the system could show us exactly the view we need for exactly the question we have? That's the promise of Moldable Development.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Andrew Drasen, author of A Vision of Hope, to unpack a direct, step-by-step approach to moving beyond survival. Andrew turns raw experience—addiction, relapse, incarceration, and loss—into a practical 90-day framework focused on identity restoration, cognitive restructuring, goal setting, action, and legacy. This conversation gives listeners a clear blueprint for finding direction after disruption and reframes recovery as a universal human process, not a label.   About the Guest  : Andrew Drasen is the author of A Vision of Hope and creator of a 90-day curriculum designed to help people rebuild their lives with identity, clarity, and purpose. His forthcoming trilogy—memoir, reflections companion, and workbook—bridges story into practice and informs community recovery and re-entry initiatives.   Key Takeaways: Recovery is universal: disruptions like burnout, grief, and identity loss require the same disciplined healing and rebuilding process. Start with identity restoration: examine family dynamics, formative experiences, and trauma so patterns don't silently drive daily choices. Move from insight to action: define strengths, weaknesses, and goals; write them down with dates to increase completion likelihood. Use visualization and meditation to clarify a concrete future—work, relationships, routines—and make it feel real enough to pursue. Break big goals into small, dated milestones; consistency builds confidence and momentum. Purpose follows honesty: when actions align with inner values, resilience and follow-through become byproducts, not burdens. Transform pain into service: sharing openly removes shame, turns wounds into armor, and channels experience into helping others. Change the narrative: treat addiction and re-entry primarily as mental health and public-health issues; shape policy through informed public perception.   How to Connect with the Guest   Website: https://avisionofhopebook.com/ Book: A Vision of Hope (releasing soon), preorder now from the website or buy any print edition on 2nd December 2025   Instagram | LinkedIn   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Daniel Tausan (founder, Timeline Sciences; stem-cell biology, UBC; former Canadian National Water Polo athlete) to challenge quick-fix health culture. Daniel explains why rebuilding health starts at the foundation—habits, movement, and precise language—rather than supplements or shortcuts. We get into interpreting bloodwork for everyday people vs. trained bodies, how to train for longevity (not just performance), and why pain is a signal to engage with—not numb. If you want a direct, science-grounded path to durable health, this conversation delivers practical clarity you can use today.   About the guest  : Daniel Tausan is the founder of Timeline Sciences. With a background in stem cell biology and predictive health analytics, and experience as an athlete and coach, he helps people align actions with biology to build resilient, long-term health.   Key takeaways: Health rebuilds from fundamentals: daily choices that align biology, mindset, and context—not surface fixes. Early asthma, allergies, and gut issues pushed Daniel to study regeneration and physiology through practice, not theory alone. Modern exposure and information overload make clarity essential; use science to navigate, not to chase trends. Pain is data. Don't rush to numb it; investigate and act so it can guide repair. Movement is the “human tax.” Train for a lower resting heart rate, better lung capacity, and elastic neuromuscular patterning for quality longevity. Read labs in context: civilian, health-challenged, or trained/resilient bodies live in different physiological ranges. You don't need an athlete's mindset to be healthy. Favor honest feedback, sustainability, and enjoyment to prevent injury and promote adherence. Precise language shapes mindset and outcomes. Define what you mean by “science,” “spirituality,” and “health” to choose better actions. Genes are rarely destiny for most people; many outcomes are modifiable through behavior and environment. Think in multi-year arcs. Periodize effort, keep it fun, and get social or coaching support when motivation dips.   How to connect with the guest   Website: https://timelinesciences.com   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?   DM on PM - Send me a message on PodMatch DM Me Here: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik   Disclaimer   This video is for educational and informational purposes only.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with Dr. Thomas E. Becker—organizational psychologist and author of Beyond the Diversity Wars—about practical ways to navigate today's polarization without watering down your values. We unpack whole-person appreciation, a détente mindset for difficult conversations, the identity continuum (from human needs to personal quirks), and clear tactics to reduce conflict across teams, families, and social feeds. If you lead people, work in cross-functional environments, or are exhausted by online extremes, this episode offers direct, actionable tools to protect mental health, improve culture, and move conversations forward.   About the guest  : Dr. Thomas E. Becker is an organizational psychologist and leadership expert with 35+ years of experience helping leaders cut through complexity. His latest book, Beyond the Diversity Wars, reframes divisive debates with human-centered solutions that emphasize understanding, coexistence, and collaboration.   Key takeaways: Polarization has roots in identity and survival needs. Recognize “us vs. them” as an old pattern that no longer serves modern collaboration. Adopt a détente mindset. Your goal isn't to convert or be converted—coexist, understand, and cooperate where possible. Practice whole-person appreciation. See people on an identity continuum: shared human needs (safety, belonging, growth) and unique quirks (hobbies, interests) that can create bridges. Separate empathy from enabling. Ask why someone holds a view; listening isn't agreeing. You can challenge ideas without attacking the person. Set limits with chronic conflict. Don't drain yourself arguing with immovable positions. Choose engagement or disengagement intentionally. Create low-stakes connections. Shared interests (e.g., music) can open space for constructive dialogue on tougher topics. Use daily reps. Once a day, talk with someone who disagrees with you—aim for understanding, not winning. Repair rifts deliberately. Apply détente + whole-person appreciation to re-engage estranged family or colleagues when it's safe and appropriate.   How to connect with the guest   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-e-becker/ Email: beckert1000@gmail.com Book: Beyond the Diversity Wars    Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty digs into Future Self Psychology with coach Alyssa Sharp (A Sharp Coach). We break down the difference between visualizing success and embodying it, how to shift out of survival mode, and a simple daily practice to make decisions from clarity rather than fear. You'll hear real client wins, why “pretending” isn't the point, and how identity drives consistent action for women building freedom-based businesses.Keywords: future self psychology, embodiment, mindset shift, identity, goal setting, confidence, entrepreneurship, women founders, boundaries, breathwork, meditation, resilience, self-love. About the Guest  : Alyssa Sharp is a Future Self life & business coach and former six-figure project manager who left burnout to build a values-aligned, freedom-based business. Through A Sharp Coach, she helps ambitious women embody their future selves to earn more, show up confidently online, and design businesses around the lives they actually want. Key Takeaways : Embodiment beats visualization: Don't just picture success—act from the identity of the person who's achieved it. Plan from possibility, not fear: Ask, “If I already had the result, how would I show up and decide today?” Exit survival mode: Slow down, breathe, and widen attention beyond the “next fire” to re-set priorities. One simple practice: Take three deep breaths and ask, “If everything I want were true, what would I choose right now?” Mindset, not make-believe: Borrow the thinking of your future self without ignoring current constraints (e.g., steward $10 as a future millionaire would). Identity drives action: “I am a writer; therefore I write”—identity statements unlock consistent behavior. Unexpected win: Embodiment builds self-respect and authentic presence online—confidence compounds. Design for life first: Structure the business around what matters (e.g., protected family seasons), then align offers and operations.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Andrew Wilson—a trauma-informed fear coach, QHHT practitioner, author, and host of “Beyond Transcendence with Andrew.” They unpack why discomfort is a catalyst for growth, how high achievers slip into self-sabotage, and practical ways to face fear without re-traumatization. We cover shadow work, inner-child healing, journaling, breathwork, and building balance so you can move from reaction to awareness.   About the guest:   Andrew Wilson helps people transform fear into freedom through trauma-informed coaching and Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT). His work blends mindset, somatic awareness, and practical tools for sustainable emotional regulation and growth.   Key takeaways: Discomfort signals growth. Learning to stay present with hard feelings builds resilience and focus. Avoiding emotions like fear, grief, and shame can lead to burnout, anger, and depression; facing them restores balance. Journaling quiets mental noise and clarifies patterns; it's a low-risk starting point for self-inquiry. Understand and work with the subconscious. Awareness plus repetition helps rewrite self-sabotaging scripts. High achievers often carry poverty-oriented beliefs about worthiness; catching self-sabotage early prevents derailment. Vulnerability isn't weakness. Cultural messages like “real men don't cry” create emotional armor that becomes a cage. Shadow work and inner-child repair help integrate parts shaped by trauma, reducing reactivity. To avoid overwhelm, use grounding tools: breathwork (e.g., box breathing), meditation, yoga, movement, nature time, and consistent self-care. Balance is the goal. When balanced, choices align with values and long-term outcomes improve. Practical litmus test for growth vs. re-traumatization: growing self-awareness, faster repair after conflict, and the ability to pause before reacting.   How to connect with the guest   Website: https://www.andrewfwilson.com/ Instagram: Beyond Transcendence with Andrew Facebook: Beyond Transcendence with Andrew Email: btwa2024@gmail.com   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty and guest Doug O'Brien—master storyteller, hypnotherapist, bestselling author, and NLP trainer—break down how our inner narratives drive mental and emotional health. Doug explains the structure of beliefs (cause → effect → meaning), how NLP, hypnosis, and Havening Techniques interrupt limiting patterns, and why rapid change is possible when we learn to reframe, reprogram, and retell our story. Practical tools include morning questions, state management, and belief reframes (Sleight of Mouth).   About the guest  : Doug O'Brien is a hypnotherapist, international NLP trainer, and author of The User's Guide to Storytelling and The User's Guide to Sleight of Mouth. He teaches practical neuro-linguistic methods, hypnosis, and Havening to help people shift beliefs and behavior effectively.   Key takeaways: Your story shapes your state. We live inside inner representations; narratives can be chains or catalysts for change. Beliefs have structure. Most beliefs follow cause → effect → meaning; change the linkage and you change the belief. Name it to change it. First step: realize “it's a story,” not absolute reality—then author a better one. NLP is a user manual for the brain. Understand your “neuro-linguistics,” and you can reprogram patterns toward desired outcomes. Morning Questions reset focus. Ask: What am I happy/excited/grateful for? Why? How does it feel? Attention directs state; state drives behavior. Havening for trauma. As a psychosensory method, Havening supports safety and can facilitate rapid, lasting change for encoded traumatic responses. Self-work vs. professional help. Many shifts are DIY; for legitimate trauma, work with trained practitioners. Evidence through examples. Compare yourself to role models who share your traits; swap limiting labels for empowering identities. Rapid change is possible. Challenge the story that “change takes years.” With the right tool and readiness, breakthroughs can be immediate. Storytelling persuades. Whether with kids, teams, or audiences, clear stories engage imagination and drive behavior.   How to connect with the guest   Website: essentialcoachingskills.com Podcast: Essential Coaching Skills Podcast Search: “Doug O'Brien hypnotist” to find official links and resources.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Life After Police Work: And Yes, Old Dogs Can Learn New Tricks, Special Episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. Where John Jay Wiley is a guest on the "Don't Be Caged By Your Age” Podcast. For many, retirement means slowing down. But for John Jay Wiley, a retired Baltimore Police Sergeant turned nationally syndicated radio broadcaster, life after police work became an opportunity to reinvent himself and inspire others along the way. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. In a recent special episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, Wiley appeared as a guest on Ande Lyons' Don't Be Caged By Your Age podcast, a program dedicated to helping people thrive after 65. The conversation focused on resilience, reinvention, and breaking age stereotypes, proving that, yes, old dogs can learn new tricks. This is a special episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available for free on our website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most podcast platforms. The episode, available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and most podcast platforms, has been promoted across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Medium, and other social media outlets. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . From Police Sergeant to Podcaster “I remember being in the Baltimore Police Academy in 1980 and an instructor telling us that the average maximum age for a Baltimore Police Officer at that time was 52, and that many of them died within two years of retirement,” Wiley recalled. “That hit me like a ton of bricks. Although I could never imagine myself being that old at the time.” READ THIS FREE ARTICLE: 3 Tips to Help You Stand Out from the Crowd. Wiley's law enforcement career ended abruptly after a career-ending injury, forcing him to make a difficult decision about what came next. Instead of allowing the setback to define his future, Wiley pivoted toward broadcasting, a leap that would eventually redefine his life. Life After Police Work: And Yes, Old Dogs Can Learn New Tricks, Special Episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. Over time, he built a successful second career as a nationally syndicated radio host and podcaster, launching the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show to give first responders, veterans, and their families a platform to share their real, unfiltered stories. “Resilience and mental health are topics we can't ignore,” Wiley shared. “Our show isn't about headlines or quick soundbites, it's about honest, authentic voices that deserve to be heard.” Embracing Technology: Old Dogs, New Tricks Beyond radio, Wiley faced another major challenge, technology. The world had gone digital, and for someone whose professional beginnings predated smartphones and social media, the learning curve was steep. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “The question was, could this old dog learn new tricks?” Wiley joked. “Not only did I have to embrace technology, but I had to use it as a tool, to grow financially, expand my reach, and create multiple streams of revenue.” Today, Wiley connects with audiences across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and podcast platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Through these channels, he's built a national and international following, all while keeping the mission at the heart of his work, amplifying the voices of first responders. Life After Police Work: And Yes, Old Dogs Can Learn New Tricks, Special Episode. Challenging Age Stereotypes Ande Lyons, host of Don't Be Caged By Your Age, praised Wiley's energy and authenticity: “John Jay is a remarkable storyteller and advocate. He's living proof that thriving after 65 is possible, and that old assumptions about aging no longer apply. His courage to adapt and grow is exactly what inspires my audience.” Lyons' show celebrates pro-aging perspectives, weekly conversations with individuals who defy outdated expectations about what life “should” look like after 60. Her mission is to provide ideas, resources, and motivation for anyone seeking to flourish in later life. Wiley's story fit perfectly into that vision. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. READ THIS FREE ARTICLE: Unplug and Disconnect for Success: The Power of Intentional Disconnection During the interview, they also discussed ageism, which Wiley addressed candidly: “Ageism is something that I have to acknowledge exists,” he said, “but I've never had my age stop me from being employed. I focus on selling my value. I don't need health insurance, I have flexibility in earnings, and I bring decades of experience. When employers realize that, they understand it costs less to hire me than a younger person.” Wiley's practical approach to self-worth and experience reframes aging as an advantage, not an obstacle. Building the Life You Want For Wiley, the key to his post-police success has been mindset. “It's about creating the life you want,” he explained. “Not the life dictated to you by others. Once I understood that, everything, broadcasting, podcasting, social media, technology, became tools to build something meaningful.” He's also quick to challenge stereotypes about older adults and technology. “You don't have to understand how something works to use it effectively,” he said. Life After Police Work: And Yes, Old Dogs Can Learn New Tricks, Special Episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Wiley illustrates the point with three simple examples: television, radio, and flight. Television: “I don't comprehend how the signal is broadcast or how the screen displays it, but I can turn it on and instantly be transported into another story, another world.” Radio: “I've worked in it for years, yet I still can't explain how sound travels that far. I just know that when I speak into a microphone, people everywhere can hear me.” Air travel: “It baffles me how something that big and heavy flies 500 miles an hour at 30,000 feet. But I don't need to understand it to benefit from it.” His philosophy is simple but powerful: focus on learning how to use technology, not how it works. A Story Worth Sharing Whether it's through the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show, podcasts, or social media, John Jay Wiley continues to use his platform to serve others, particularly those who've served their communities. His story is one of resilience, adaptability, and purpose, reminding listeners that the end of one career can be the beginning of another. Life After Police Work: And Yes, Old Dogs Can Learn New Tricks, Special Episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. As Wiley summed it up beautifully: “Life after police work doesn't mean the end of purpose. It means a new chapter—and if you're willing to learn, old dogs really can learn new tricks.” Listeners can tune into this special episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and the Don't Be Caged By Your Age Podcast, streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

On this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, host Avik dives straight into the difference between a motivating “why” and an enduring purpose with guest Meghan Walsh—holistic coach and author of Rare Birds: Break Free from the Flock, Find Your Purpose. We unpack practical intuition (heart-centered check-ins), dealing with self-doubt and limiting beliefs, and how to turn so-called “weaknesses” into leadership strengths. Clear, applicable steps for anyone feeling successful on paper but unfulfilled in life and work.   About the guest : Meghan Walsh spent 18 years in corporate leadership before choosing a values-aligned path as a holistic coach, speaker, and author. Through positive psychology and energy work, she helps high achievers reconnect to intuition, release self-doubt, and live their unique purpose. Her book, Rare Birds, releases Tuesday, September 23.   Key takeaways: “Why” fuels action; “purpose” is the GPS. Your why can change with life seasons, while purpose provides longer-term direction. Intuition is quieter than the thinking mind. A quick heart-connection practice (breathe, place two fingers on the heart, ask, wait) helps you hear it. Self-doubt often masks self-worth issues. Notice procrastination and triggers; ask, “What's coming up for me right now?” to surface the story underneath. Rewrite old scripts through action. Small next steps compound, build evidence, and replace limiting agreements with empowering ones. Emotions are data, not defects. Meghan's “silver lining model” (Acknowledge–Connect–Empower) reframes perceived weaknesses into leadership strengths. Success “on paper” without fulfillment is a signal, not a sentence. There is always another path if you're willing to take the first step. Start today: do the 2-minute heart check-in, name one limiting belief, choose one simple action that aligns with your purpose. Book note: Rare Birds offers tools to identify your purpose, recalibrate self-talk, and set aligned boundaries. .

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Aanya explores how high performers can stop guessing about their health and start listening with precision. Guest Tata Rarin—the “world's only health detective”—blends engineering logic, energy work, and bioenergetic testing to translate body signals into clear action. We cover practical self-awareness tools (Vipassana basics, body scanning, breath focus, single-word anchors like “knowing”), how to use data without losing intuition, and why self-awareness is a performance tool—not a soft skill. If you're chasing goals and flirting with burnout, this episode shows how to turn awareness into a measurable advantage.   About the Guest : Tata Rarin helps founders and high achievers decode health and performance by combining bioenergetic testing, digital muscle testing, and mindfulness practices (including 12+ years of Vipassana). Her approach turns subtle body cues into decisions that improve sleep, stress, focus, and strategic execution.   Key Takeaways: Self-awareness is a performance lever—it improves choices, negotiations, and recovery, reducing avoidable mistakes. Start simple: choose a single anchor word (e.g., “knowing”), repeat for 10–20 seconds to re-center during busy days. Use breath awareness (anapanasati) and brief body scans to detect early signs of imbalance before they escalate. For beginners, body sensations are easier to observe than thoughts; build the skill daily in short reps. Pair metrics (sleep, HRV, activity trackers) with felt experience; numbers reveal blind spots high achievers often miss. Morning routine tip: listen to a short, positive audio before messages or meetings to set focus and reduce reactivity. Continuous observation creates choice under pressure—notice bias, adjust state, then act. Awareness practices support business outcomes: clearer thinking, fewer errors, better energy allocation. Reframe “listening” from passive to strategic—it's how you prevent burnout and sustain output. Build the habit: small, daily reps (>21 days) make self-awareness automatic in high-stakes moments.   Medical Disclaimer:This conversation is for educational and informational purposes only and is not medical advice.

Do not start, stop, or change any medication, diet, exercise, or supplement based on this episode without consulting your physician or licensed healthcare professional—especially if you are pregnant, nursing, have a medical condition, or are taking prescriptions.Any references to practices such as meditation, breathwork, bioenergetic/digital muscle testing, trackers, or apps reflect personal experiences and opinions; they do not replace evidence-based medical care.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik speaks with “health detective” Beth Mielbrecht about moving beyond trial-and-error wellness. Beth blends engineering-style problem solving with energetic and bioindividual approaches to help people identify root causes—rather than silencing symptoms. From digestion and detox to stress, grief, and belief systems, she explains how tuning into your body's signals can drive practical change in daily choices. This direct conversation challenges “it's just age/genetics” thinking and offers a clear path: ask better questions, listen closely, and take aligned action.   About the guest : Beth Mielbrecht, known as a “health detective,” combines a background in mechanical engineering with training in Reiki, homeopathy, and bioenergetic testing. She helps clients uncover individualized root causes and create targeted next steps—without medical diagnosis or one-size-fits-all fixes.   Key takeaways:   Your body is not the enemy—it's always trying to heal; symptoms are messages, not mistakes. Treating pain without asking “why now, why here?” can mute signals but miss the root cause. Daily elimination, safe detoxification, and reducing exposure to common toxins can unlock stalled progress. Emotions matter: grief and chronic stress often map onto physical weak spots (e.g., lungs, adrenals, thyroid). Beliefs shape outcomes; closing the door on possibility narrows what you try—and what works. Practical cadence: ask specific questions → listen to what changes symptoms → act on small, testable steps. Track patterns (food, sleep, people, places) to see what reliably helps or harms. “Whole-body” isn't anti-medicine; it's expanding your health team and methods when standard paths stall. Gentle, personalized support (e.g., homeopathic/energetic tools) can increase capacity to move, engage, and live. Progress compounds: relief in one area (e.g., joints) can catalyze energy, mood, and life decisions.   How to connect with the guest  : Website: yourhealthwithbeth.comSocial: @YourHealthWithBethFree quiz available on the website.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

What's a Government Shutdown and Why Are We In One?A government shutdown happens when Congress fails to pass annual spending bills or a stopgap continuing resolution (CR) to keep agencies funded. No funding = no authority to operate = federal workers furloughed, services paused, and chaos for agencies and contractors.The House has passed a CR that would fund the government through November 21, but the Senate has rejected it three times. That CR keeps spending at current levels and buys Congress more time to negotiate a full budget. Think of it as saying, “We'll work out the details later, but in the meantime, keep the lights on.”So why the rejection? The sticking points are:* Democrats want the bill to include an extension of Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, which are about to expire.* They also want to block the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) from continuing to cut previously appropriated funds—something they see as a power grab.* Senator Rand Paul is the only Republican joining Democrats in opposing the House CR, but most Senate Democrats have voted it down.What Has to Happen to End the Shutdown?There are four main steps to reopening the government:* Negotiate a compromise CR. Either Republicans agree to ACA and OMB language, or Democrats back off.* Secure bicameral agreement. If the Senate changes the bill, it has to go back to the House.* Presidential approval. Trump has hinted he won't sign anything that includes ACA subsidies or limits on the OMB.* Implementation. Once signed, agencies resume normal operations and furloughed workers return.Two likely paths out of the shutdown:* Republicans stand firm → Democrats allow a CR vote without ACA or OMB demands, hoping to negotiate later.* A compromise CR is passed → includes ACA subsidies and OMB limits → enough Senate Democrats back it → risk of Trump veto remains.Why Is This So Complicated?The shutdown highlights a procedural gap between the House and Senate:* In the House, Republicans have a majority and can pass CRs with zero Democratic votes.* In the Senate, most bills need 60 votes to end debate (invoke cloture) and move to a final vote. Republicans don't have the numbers.Republicans could try to change Senate rules—eliminate the filibuster for budget bills and go with a simple majority—but that would be a massive institutional shift with long-term consequences.Until a resolution is reached, the government remains partially closed and the policy fight over ACA funding and executive power continues.What Happens If Republicans Do Make the Change?If Senate Republicans decide to invoke the so-called “nuclear option”—changing the chamber's rules to eliminate the 60-vote threshold for spending bills—the legislative and political landscape could shift immediately and dramatically.Immediate consequences:Republicans could pass the House-approved continuing resolution with no Democratic support, reopening the government on their terms. That means no extension of ACA subsidies, no restrictions on the Office of Management and Budget, and no need to negotiate across the aisle.Medium-term effects:The rule change would permanently alter how Congress handles appropriations. Any party with a Senate majority and House control could pass funding bills unilaterally, sidestepping the need for bipartisan coalitions. This could speed up the process—but also deepen partisan divides in budget negotiations.Long-term implications:Effectively, it would mean the end of the filibuster for all spending legislation. Shutdowns might become less frequent, since fewer votes are needed to keep the government open—but funding priorities could swing wildly every time control of Congress changes hands. One Congress could expand programs and hike spending; the next could cut deeply, all with a simple majority.In short, while the nuclear option would solve the immediate standoff, it would reshape the Senate's role in fiscal policymaking—and shift power further toward the majority party.Why Can't Republicans Just Pass a Budget Bill?If you've been hearing people say, “Just pass it as a budget bill—no filibuster needed,” here's why that's not happening.The Senate does have a special process called budget reconciliation, which allows certain bills to pass with just 51 votes—no filibuster, no 60-vote threshold. But there are some important catches:* It can only be used once per fiscal year.Technically, reconciliation instructions can cover three areas—spending, revenue, and the debt limit—but Congress usually combines them into a single package. That bill has already been used this year (for the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”), so the reconciliation tool is off the table until the next fiscal year.* The content of the bill is strictly limited.Under the Byrd Rule, reconciliation bills must directly relate to taxing or spending. Any provision that doesn't have a direct budgetary effect, or that increases the deficit beyond a 10-year window, gets stripped out—or the whole bill risks being disqualified.That's why the current CR probably couldn't go through reconciliation even if that option remained available this fiscal year. It likely includes provisions that violate the Byrd Rule—and certainly would if the OMB limitation Democrats want was included. Those elements either aren't strictly budgetary or would impact the long-term deficit.So even though Republicans hold a Senate majority, they can't simply slap a “budget” label on this bill and pass it with 51 votes. That procedural door is closed for now.If they want to bypass the filibuster, their only real option would be to change Senate rules—a dramatic move that would eliminate the 60-vote requirement for spending bills altogether. Otherwise, they'll need to cut a deal that clears the 60-vote threshold—or accept a prolonged shutdown.That is the current state of the shutdown – we'll see you back here on Monday for our usual daily news shows.

The art of mentoring is not just for teachers and coaches, but also parents—who can never really be out of mentoring mode. In a recent Substack article, Alvaro de Vicente named five pitfalls for our attempts at mentoring young men.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, guest host Pragya steps in to speak with Edwin Endlich (CMO at Wysh; President, National Alliance for Financial Literacy & Inclusion) about the collision of AI, GLP-1 weight-loss costs, and personal finance. Edwin explains why money conversations work better when they start with your story—then shows how AI can act like an “Iron Man suit” for everyday choices: helping you budget for expensive treatments, spot wasteful subscriptions, and decode terms & conditions. We also dig into transparency, scams, and consent in fintech, and how humor can open serious topics like life insurance. Direct, practical, and human—this episode reframes finance so listeners can act with clarity, not confusion.   About the guest  : Edwin Endlich is the Chief Marketing Officer at Wysh and President of the National Alliance for Financial Literacy & Inclusion. He blends storytelling, product design, and fintech to make financial protection and planning understandable and accessible.   Key takeaways: GLP-1 realities: Prescription GLP-1 drugs can cost around four figures monthly; planning must consider the full journey cost (medication, appointments, lifestyle shifts). Finance is personal: Conversations land when framed as “what you want to happen,” not product jargon—e.g., protecting a home or kids' education. AI as an assistant: Use AI to build budgets, compare prices, reduce subscription bloat, and personalize meal and movement plans during a health journey. Transparency first: Replace legalese with plain-English choices; surface true total costs and decision points up front. Terms & conditions 2.0: Future AI can summarize long T&Cs against your values, flagging risks before you click “I agree.” Skepticism is healthy: Scams are sophisticated; verify senders, avoid gift-card traps, and double-check “urgent” requests—even if they sound like family. Humor works: Light, respectful humor can unlock tough topics like mortality and life insurance without trivializing them. Design for consent: Financial products should make it obvious what you're opting into, with no hidden steps or dark patterns.   How to connect with the guest   LinkedIn: Edwin Endlich Company: Wysh Organization: National Alliance for Financial Literacy & Inclusion Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Rooney Niemi—entrepreneur, coach, husband, father, and survivor. Rooney's journey includes overcoming cancer, stroke, and more than 40 surgeries, experiences that shaped his philosophy of resilience and discipline. He shares how shifting from a “what-if” mindset to an “even-if” mindset changed everything, why discipline is the foundation of success, and how personal development defines the ceiling of our achievements. This powerful conversation is a masterclass in reinventing yourself, breaking free from victimhood, and learning to rise with gratitude and courage. About the Guest  : Rooney Niemi is the CEO of his own coaching company and COO of PTV Labs and DOP3 Energy. A former competitive bodybuilder, he now channels his energy into mentoring others in resilience, discipline, business, and fitness. His coaching is built on lived experience—facing near-death moments, battling illness, and rebuilding with structure and intention. Rooney believes true success comes only when you master yourself. Key Takeaways  : Resilience is built in adversity—Rooney turned illness and over 40 surgeries into blessings that taught him strength and perspective. Shifting from “what-if” thinking to an “even-if” mindset removes fear and excuses, creating room for courage. Discipline starts with honesty about what not to do—skipping workouts, chasing instant gratification, or lying to yourself. Routines become rituals when practiced consistently; structure brings freedom. Success is tied to personal growth—your achievements will never exceed your level of self-development. Gratitude is not just words; it requires results, action, and living with intention. Early mornings and consistent wins set the tone for a day of confidence and control. Feedback—positive or negative—should be listened to and acted on, not ignored. Discipline is not suffocating when tied to self-respect and pride in who you are becoming. Helping others begins with first proving to yourself that change is possible.   Connect with the Guest  : https://rj-training.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ronnie_niemi/ Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In a time when the headlines are bleak and social feeds are filled with outrage, what does it mean to be deliberately optimistic? In this episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times, host Chris Schembra sits down with returning guest Mattan Griffel, two-time Y Combinator–backed founder, award-winning Columbia Business School professor, and longtime startup coach, to rethink optimism from the inside out.This isn't a conversation about pretending everything is fine. It's a practical, science-backed exploration of how to keep moving forward when the world tries to convince you to freeze. Chris and Mattan unpack the psychology of negativity, including the brain's nine-to-one negative memory bias, nostalgia's hidden trap, and how media algorithms profit from fear, and then turn to the tools that can rewire us toward progress and resilience.Along the way, they revisit some of Mattan's most powerful ideas: the courage of “naive optimism” that makes founders start companies against impossible odds; serendipity bombs, small outward actions that quietly build networks and opportunity; and the truth that being wrong most of the time is the price of doing something original.The conversation is both personal and practical. Chris shares stories of producing a two-man play in Beverly Hills under the threat of a record-breaking El Niño storm, and how standing in the room with committed collaborators fueled hope despite fear. Mattan reflects on early YouTube criticism that almost derailed him, and how understanding our negativity bias changed his response to rejection and failure.Listeners will also hear how positive emotions aren't just nice-to-have; they're powerful mental technology. Chris cites Barbara Fredrickson's “broaden-and-build” research, showing how gratitude, curiosity, and empathy expand our thought–action repertoire, unlock creativity, and make new solutions visible. Together they argue that optimism isn't fluffy, it's a survival skill in an age of AI disruption, social media outrage cycles, and cultural pessimism.By the end of the episode, you'll have practical habits to invite luck and possibility into your own life: connect generously, say yes early and often, ship ideas at 90% instead of chasing perfection, and create rooms where pessimism can't dominate. Most importantly, you'll be reminded that hope is not passive, it's built one intentional step at a time.10 Quotes“Optimism isn't blind faith that everything will be fine, it's the conviction that progress is buildable.” — Mattan“Our brains take in nine bits of negative information for every one bit of positive. That's biology, not failure.” — Chris“Nostalgia can be beautiful, but it's often denial, an inability to process the present.” — Chris“Systems are self-healing if we let them. The line of human progress trends up and to the right, even if it wobbles.” — Mattan“Negativity sells. Each negative word in a headline can boost clicks by 2.3%, but positive words get ignored.” — Chris“You have to be wrong most of the time to create something new. Error tolerance is optimism in action.” — Mattan“The stupid way to be selfish is to seek happiness for yourself alone; the intelligent way is to work for the welfare of others.” — Dalai Lama (quoted by Chris)“Say yes early and often because most conversations won't go anywhere, but the one that does can change your life.” — Mattan“Progress comes from movement, not perfection. Press go at 90%.” — Chris“Positive emotions broaden your thought–action repertoire, gratitude and curiosity literally rewire your brain for resilience.” — Chris (referencing Barbara Fredrickson)10 Big TakeawaysOptimism is a discipline, not a mood. It's about choosing to believe in forward momentum despite uncertainty.Understand your brain's negativity bias. We're wired to remember threats — knowing this can help us reframe and resist doomscrolling.Question nostalgia. Looking back with rose-colored glasses can fuel pessimism about the present.Negativity is profitable — be aware of media incentives. Don't let clickbait headlines distort your worldview.Design serendipity. Small, outward-focused actions (helping others, showing up, connecting dots) compound over time.Practice error tolerance. Innovation and growth require being wrong most of the time; progress lives in mistakes.Generosity drives returns. Investing in other people — time, knowledge, introductions — creates long-term opportunity and resilience.Say yes more (strategically). Especially early in your journey, embrace exploration; one connection can transform everything.Start before you're ready. Perfectionism delays progress; ship at 90% and learn in motion.Positive emotions fuel creativity. Simple acts of gratitude, kindness, and curiosity expand your capacity to see solutions and possibilities.On Negativity Bias & Media OutrageAdam Mastroianni & Daniel Gilbert's Nature paper — The illusion of moral declineSteven Pinker's The Better Angels of Our Nature (book summary)Tobias Rose-Stockwell — The Outrage MachineUpworthy headline negativity study (Columbia Journalism Review)On Positive Emotion & OptimismBarbara Fredrickson's “Broaden-and-Build Theory” explainerDalai Lama quote on “intelligent selfishness”Adam Grant's Give and TakeOn Startup Mindset & SerendipityMattan Griffel's Medium essay: “You Have to Be Wrong”Mattan Griffel on Designing Serendipity (Forbes)How to Build Serendipity in Your Career (Harvard Business Review)On Connection & GenerosityChris Schembra's Rolling Stone column archiveIkigai framework explainerPwC research on ROI of well-being programs

When we agree to practice joy through community, connection, and belonging in its own powerful way, it is an act of defiance to what's going on around us. We must ask ourselves, particularly in these difficult times, what we are fighting for? We fight for a meaningful world that yields joy. This commitment to fostering shared happiness becomes the ultimate evidence of resilience and a deeply healing public force.When we agree to practice joy through community, connection, and belonging in its own powerful way, it is an act of defiance to what's going on around us.

A dragonfly flew into my ear and got stuck in my hair twice over three weeks, and it would not leave my mind, so I made a quick Instagram reel about it. Later, a client told me she had asked her dad in spirit to send me dragonflies as a sign for her. That same day, a second client shared that she had asked her late husband to get me to say the word “rainbow” in her session as a sign for her, and I did. I didn't know either request was out there until after. In this episode, I share the full story of these back-to-back clients getting their loved ones to send me messages for them!  We talk about why signs can show up before we know the ask, how to invite signs in for you and simple ways to notice and validate messages in your own life. If you want a real behind-the-scenes look at divine timing, full of synchronicities where everything lined up for a reason, this one's for you.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik speaks with Avonley Lightstone, author of Strength of Scars, about rebuilding identity after early childhood trauma, adoption, and years of abuse. Avonley explains how faith, honest forgiveness, and telling the truth (without glamorizing pain) helped her move past suicidal ideation, break family patterns, and turn scars into service. This direct, no-fluff conversation covers resilience, survivor guilt, spiritual grounding, boundaries with harmful family dynamics, and why sharing your story matters.   About the guest  : Avonley Lightstone is a writer and speaker whose memoir Strength of Scars chronicles the journey from childhood tragedy and abusive adoption to healing through faith and radical honesty. She shares practical tools for survivors and is developing a series that distills lessons on recovery and resilience.   Key takeaways: Early trauma can fracture identity; naming the truth without dramatizing it is the first step toward integration and healing. Faith as practice, not bypass: prayer, hope, and meaning-making helped Avonley move through pain rather than avoid it. Forgiveness ≠ access: you can forgive while keeping firm boundaries with people who refuse accountability. Rewrite the narrative: scars (seen or unseen) mark survival, not identity; your story can serve others when told responsibly. From ideation to action steps: replacing harmful thought loops with connection (prayer/journaling), professional help, and community resources breaks cycles. Adoption nuance: gratitude doesn't erase harm; calling out abusive dynamics (scapegoating, favoritism, narcissistic control) is part of recovery. Break generational patterns: consciously parent yourself (and your children) with new scripts—safety, honesty, regulation, and support. Share with care: write privately first (journals/letters) to process; publish later to help others once you have support and stability. Micro-habits of resilience: daily reflection, nature time, and service to others compound into long-term strength. Spiritual lens: faith reframed scars as testimony—grounding, direction, and responsibility to lift others.   How to connect with the guest   Social: @AvonleyLightstone  Website & free first chapter of Strength of Scars: https://avonleylightstone.com/ to stay connected and explore her journey further.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

What is the hidden danger of Christian nationalism, and how does it challenge the integrity of faith, the church, and the teachings of Jesus? In this thought-provoking episode of the Voxology Podcast, Mike Erre and Tim Stafford explore the troubling intersections of faith and politics, examining how concepts like cruciformity and the role of the church in society are being distorted by cultural narratives. Through engaging dialogue, they reflect on the dangers of syncretism, the idolization of political power, and the tension between justice and tribalism in today's cultural landscape. From the misuse of Jesus' teachings to the blending of nationalism with Christianity, this episode unpacks the critical need for a gospel-centered approach that honors the teachings of Jesus. The hosts delve into the complexities of navigating cultural challenges with humility and grace, offering tangible insights on how the church can reclaim its mission of embodying the upside-down kingdom of God. Join the conversation as they challenge common assumptions, highlight the importance of bearing the fruit of the Spirit, and encourage a faithful witness to Jesus in a polarized world.
