You've  trusted someone who said they had the answers.  I've done it too. And somewhere along the way - whether it was months or years - you realised they were using that authority in ways that didn't feel aligned. Ways that felt extractive. Ways that made you smaller.  Ways that abused their position of mentor. In this episode, I'm sharing directly about the impact of this particular type of betrayal, why the Spiritual industry as a system enables it, and how to rebuild self-trust without losing the hard-won wisdom you gained from this experience. Because staying open to guidance while protecting your sovereignty isn't a contradiction - it's the real work.This is for anyone who's skeptical of gurus, protective of their own authority, and still willing to learn and evolve. 5 things you'll discover by the end of the episode:-Why being burned by a Reiki / Spiritual teacher is actually a sign of your openness -not your failure.  You weren't gullible or naïve, and  you didn't miss something obvious.  You were vulnerable and willing searching out support for yourself.  Here's what, in my experience, happened & why.. -The three kinds of teachers (The Authority Holders, The Guides & The Mirrors) – and how to help yourself discern who to trust – they all operate differently. Learn how to recognise each “type” and understand how you can shift your relationship with each to better help yourself. -How your anger about the betrayal is wisdom, not bitterness. Stop being pushed to rush to forgiveness. Your rage is telling you something crucial about your standards and your boundaries. Here's why honoring that matters.-What real spiritual authority actually feels like (it's nothing like what you've been told) The teachers worth learning from in -my personal experience, aren't the ones claiming “enlightenment”. They're the ones honest about their own process. Here's how to recognise the difference.-How to stay open to mentor guidance while maintaining your own authority You don't have to choose between being vulnerable and being protected. Here's the mature spiritual capacity that the burn has likely taught you, and how to harness the experience in a positive way.

Before Conan the Barbarian, Robert E. Howard created Kull the Conqueror, revealed later by Howard to be an ancestor of Conan. Kull, like Conan is a vicious and bloodthirsty barbarian but in some ways is a more contemplative and thoughtful character. In these, the first two Kull stories Howard published, we find Kull dealing with a conspiracy to murder him by a race of shapeshifting lizard people in "The Shadow Kingdom" and we see Kull contemplating his place in the world and even his own reality as he becomes ensnared in the wicked plot of a magician in "The Mirrors of Tuzun Thume".

Somebody needed to pick up the torch for hard rock and heavy metal with real grit and gusto and without a gimmick. Enter Who on Earth. The New Jersey outfit of Coosh [vocals], Pete Rizzi [bass], Johnny James Barone (guitar), Jimmy Kocha (guitar) and Howie Fallon [drums] — deliver a one-two punch of hard-hitting hooks and airtight instrumentation bolted down by pummeling grooves and piercing riffs. It all gestated from a question…“We wanted to fill in the blank of ‘Who On Earth is going to bring back good rock and metal?',” explains Pete. “We grew up on the new wave of British heavy metal and classic rock. We went through grunge and other great genres of metal. We wanted to resurrect the melodies, hooks, and guitar solos. We returned to our roots yet upgraded everything with modern production.”The group made their bones through countless gigs across the Tristate area in every dive bar and concert hall with a stage. Along the way, Andrew and Pete tore up venues as part of MadHaus, performing marathon covers. During 2021, the longtime friends chose to forego covers, hunker down, and compose an original album.  The composing came easily, and in a short time, the founding fathers had 10 songs ready to go.  To bring the record to life, the band hit the studio with none other than Mike Orlando (Category 7, Adrenaline Mob). Over the next year, the guys endured numerous COVID delays as they recorded with Orlando behind the board as producer, engineer, and “stunt” guitarist. Nodding to everyone from Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica to Rush, Alice In Chains, and Tool, they placed storytelling in the spotlight.“The New Jersey heavy rockers bring their signature grit and power to the 1979 classic, adding punchy riffs, thunderous drums, and raw energy while honoring the spirit of the original.“Somebody needed to pick up the torch for hard rock and heavy metal with real grit and gusto without a gimmick. Enter Who On Earth. The New Jersey quintet—Andrew Couche [vocals], Pete Rizzi [bass], Howie Fallon [drums], Johnny James Barone [guitar], and Jimmy Kocha [guitar]—deliver a one-two punch of hard-hitting hooks and airtight instrumentation bolted down by pummeling grooves and piercing riffs. The band continues to pay homage to rock's past as they usher in its future on their latest EP, Smoke & Mirrors.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Welcome to the Confident Homeschool Mom Podcast! In this episode, host, graduated homeschool mom, and Certified Life Coach, Teresa Wiedrick, tackles one of the most common struggles homeschool moms face: finding your homeschool rhythm when consistency feels impossible. Through a powerful real-life coaching session with a mom named Audrey, Teresa reveals how our preconceived notions of what consistency “should” look like—and the weight of external pressures—can actually sabotage your efforts at finding your homeschool rhythm. Prefer to read? Scroll down for the full episode summary and timeline. What You’ll Learn in This Episode of the Confident Homeschool Mom Podcast Teresa walks you through Audrey’s authentic journey of feeling overwhelmed, stuck in comparison, and frustrated by the gap between her ideals and reality. If you’re struggling with finding your homeschool rhythm, you’ll discover how Audrey moved from self-judgment to self-trust by redefining consistency in a way that actually fits her unique family circumstances. This episode demonstrates that finding your homeschool rhythm doesn’t come from massive overhauls—it comes from small, personalized shifts that honour where you are right now. How Small Changes Help You Master Finding Your Homeschool Rhythm Instead of striving for picture-perfect routines that work for someone else, Teresa shows you how to identify what rhythm and consistency truly mean for your family. By exploring Audrey’s emotional and relational struggles—including the importance of boundaries and releasing unrealistic expectations—you’ll learn practical ways to make incremental changes that lead to genuine confidence and peace.

In this bold and empowering New Year episode, we explore the questions that quietly shapes every goal, decision, and direction in your life: Who are you telling yourself you are? And Who's voice are you listening to? President Nelson reminds us that the way we think about our identity influences almost every decision we will ever make. So before we rush into new plans and resolutions, we are going to take time to anchor into truth, identity, and divine worth. We talk about: • why identity determines direction • who and what you're listening to and how those inputs shape your confidence • how the adversary targets identity through subtle thoughts • the "Hall of Mirrors" effect and why other people's perceptions cannot define you • choosing self-love rooted in eternal truth, not comparison or pressure You'll leave this episode feeling clearer, stronger, and grounded in who you truly are: a child of God with purpose, power, and divine potential. Plus, I give you two simple but powerful challenges to help you step into this year confident and aligned with truth.

If you care about diverse children's books, freedom to read, and the cultural power of music, this episode is for you.Dr. Diane Jackson Schnoor welcomes Cheryl Willis Hudson, co-founder of the groundbreaking children's publishing house Just Us Books. Cheryl shares why she and husband Wade Hudson created Just Us Books, and what it's meant to write and publish stories that serve as windows, mirrors, and sliding glass doors for children.Cheryl reflects on growing up in the Jim Crow South and how the lack of accurate representation in children's literature shaped her mission to publish books that affirm Black childhood, celebrate multicultural experiences, and expand the canon of children's books. The conversation also addresses book bans and censorship, including how books are challenged by small groups who often haven't read the full text -- and why that's an urgent threat to freedom of expression and access to stories.In a moving highlight, Cheryl introduces her “dream book,” When I Hear Spirituals, and shares how spirituals carry history, resilience, and joy while shaping American music itself. She even sings a portion of “Over My Head,” offering listeners a moment that feels like story, song, and legacy braided together.Chapters:01:00 Cheryl Willis Hudson + Just Us Books origin story08:08 Growing up in Jim Crow South + why representation matters13:49 Book challenges, lists, and censorship ripple effects20:01 Reading from We Rise, We Resist…30:13 When I Hear Spirituals + history of spirituals

There's something about old houses that makes you feel like you're not entirely alone — even when you should be. When Amelia moved into her bungalow, she expected creaky floors, vintage charm, and maybe a few odd noises settling in at night. What she didn't expect was the feeling that the house was watching her back. As nights passed, the house grew bolder. Footsteps echoed where no one stood. Whispers slipped into otherwise normal conversations. Mirrors stopped feeling passive. And somewhere within the walls, something small — and deeply unsettling — seemed to be paying very close attention. Sometimes, the scariest part isn't what happens — it's realizing you were never really alone to begin with. #RealGhostStories #HauntedHouse #TrueParanormal #GhostGirl #CreepyEncounters #HauntedHome #ParanormalPodcast #TrueHaunting #Unexplained #GhostStories Love real ghost stories?

Welcome to SuperFreq® with Talíyah—the space where frequency comes first.Where we decode the intelligence beneath identity, behavior, and belief.Here, you'll learn how to read your own signals, decode the behavior loops running your relationships and decisions, and rebuild from a nervous system that's actually resourced—not reactive.This podcast is frequency-encoded fieldwork: somatic, psychological, and deeply human. No fluff. No spiritual performance. Just the mechanics of becoming someone whose life matches their truth.Let's get into it.Mirror mechanics aren't about finding your twin — they're about recognizing where one source splits into complementary functions so truth can stabilize without collapse. Across traditions, enlightened figures are paired not to duplicate identity, but to hold contrast: transmission and recognition, order and disruption, memory and embodiment. The mirror shows you what your system can perceive but hasn't fully integrated yet.------IG: @superfreq.co // @whoistaliyahSubstack: SUPERFREQ® | Frequency-First Living™ > taliyahverse.substack.comWebsite: taliyahverse.com

Re-Envision Your Homeschool: Purpose-Driven Homeschool Planning for 2026 By my eighth year of homeschooling, something really began to shift for me. Every year between Christmas and New Year's, I would set aside a few days for purpose-driven homeschool planning for 2026—reflecting on what worked, what didn't, and what actually mattered. I was paying more attention to the atmosphere, the relationships, and each person's unique strengths and interests. Over time, I was asking better questions, and that reflection became less about overhauling our homeschool and more about recalibrating it. I began to approach our homeschool as a purpose-driven homeschool—not something to perfect, but something that could be adjusted thoughtfully, one small shift at a time. I learned to focus on what mattered and let go of what didn't. At the same time, I was letting go of who I thought I was supposed to be as a homeschool mom and growing into who I actually was. That combination—reflection, self-trust, and permission to be imperfect—was the most life-changing personal work. It's not a coincidence that around year eight, my confidence began to soar. Confidence didn't come from getting it all right. It came from trusting myself, aligning our homeschool with our values, and allowing both my kids and myself to evolve. That's also why, for the past five years, I've offered a re-envisioning and planning workshop for homeschool moms. Because we need to pause long enough to realign our intentions for ourselves, our kids, our relationships, and our life vision. Re-Envision My Homeschool for 2026 Why Purpose-Driven Homeschool Planning Matters Every year, I talk to homeschool moms who say the same thing at this year: “I need to shake things up.” Not because last year was all bad—but because what once felt like the right approach doesn't quite fit anymore. Sometimes what moms really want is to recalibrate and figure out what truly matters. They wonder if they need a new curriculum, when often the real question isn't the curriculum itself. It's how it's being used, whether it still fits this season, or whether everyone simply needs a break. Sometimes the recalibration is about assessing whether the environment you've created is actually conducive to engagement. Every mom wants a motivated child, and every mom will eventually have at least one child who isn't motivated at all. Motivation is tricky. We're all unmotivated at times—that's just being human. But sometimes a small environmental shift can make learning feel more supportive and energized. Often, we don't need to overhaul everything. We just need to recalibrate. How to Reflect and Recalibrate Your Homeschool for 2026 In this episode, I walk through the kind of reflection we'll do together inside the Re-Envision 2026 workshop. We'll look at: What went well this past year What actually worked for your kids Where engagement was high Where it wasn't What you're genuinely looking forward to What drained you This reflection gives you information—about your kids, your homeschool environment, your energy, your needs, and your relationships. When you understand what worked and what didn't, you stop guessing and begin planning with intention. Creating a “You” Plan for a Purpose-Driven Homeschool One of the core ideas of this workshop is simple: You are the most important element in your purpose-driven homeschool. If you want a calm, confident, present homeschool mom at the center of your home, your wellness cannot be optional. During the workshop, we will: Clarify what wellness strategies you need in the upcoming season Create a personalized burnout prevention plan Identify what support actually helps you stay regulated, focused, and present This is about creating a sustainable homeschool life—especially as we move into the post-Christmas slump season. Child-Inspired Learning & Engagement in a Purpose-Driven Homeschool We'll also explore: How your kids engaged this past year Where resistance showed up How to lean more fully into child-inspired learning How to enable a more motivated, calm, engaged environment This isn't about forcing motivation. It's about noticing patterns and responding intentionally with the next right step for each of your kids. Tools and Assessments to Support Your Purpose-Driven Homeschool During the workshop, you'll work through: A self-awareness assessment A homeschool assessment A wellness assessment You'll also receive: The Homeschool Mom Vision Planner The Wellness Journal for Homeschool Mamas These tools are designed to help you stay connected, be more present, and revisit your vision throughout the year—not just during one workshop. 2026 Homeschool Mom Vision Planner Start your homeschool year with clarity and confidence using the 2026 Homeschool Mom Vision Planner. This thoughtfully designed planner includes reflective prompts, practical tools, and space to align your homeschooling journey with your personal growth and family goals.

If you're a homeschool mom, you've likely discovered that overwhelm doesn't arrive all at once. It accumulates — quietly, subtly — through pressure, self-doubt, unmet needs, and the belief that you're supposed to carry it all without complaint. In this episode, I'm sharing Days 7–12 of the twelve things I've learned about homeschool moms — insights shaped by my own journey and by years of walking alongside women who are longing for a more calm homeschool life while doing this brave, demanding, deeply meaningful work. You probably won't relate to every single one of these. But I'm willing to bet you'll recognize at least two or three — possibly more. You don't need a total overhaul to create a calm homeschool life. All you need are 1% shifts — small, compassionate adjustments that bring you back into alignment with yourself. Let's walk through them. Join the 12-Day Self-Care Challenge for Homeschool Moms What a Calm Homeschool Life Really Requires (Lessons from Days 7–12) These days explore what happens when overwhelm becomes internalized — when exhaustion, self-doubt, and constant carrying begin to feel like personal failure instead of a signal that something needs care and support. Day 7: “I don't have boundaries — because it feels mean or selfish to have them.” Many homeschool moms are deeply generous, relationally attuned, and willing to sacrifice — sometimes at the expense of their own well-being. But a calm homeschool life cannot exist without boundaries. Boundaries aren't walls; they're containers. They protect your energy, your attention, and your emotional availability. When you begin to notice where you're overriding your limits, you create space for more presence — not less. Every one of these six things isn't a sign that you're doing homeschooling wrong—they're signs that you're human and have been carrying more than anyone was meant to carry alone. Day 8: “I feel like I'm failing… even though I'm trying so hard.” This belief shows up when effort isn't matched with sustainability. Overwhelm often masquerades as failure, but it's usually a signal — not a verdict. It tells us something needs to be adjusted, not abandoned. A calm homeschool life doesn't come from doing more. It comes from releasing unrealistic expectations and redefining what “enough” actually means. https://youtu.be/yWbXNQfbnUk The Inner Work Behind a Calm Homeschool Life These days invite you to slow down decisions made from pressure and urgency, and to remember that a calm homeschool life includes room for discernment, desire, and your own seat at the table. Day 9: “I make decisions from pressure, not peace.” Curriculum choices. Schedules. Social expectations. Outside opinions. When decisions are driven by urgency or fear, calm becomes impossible. But when you pause — even briefly — and ask, “What aligns with us right now?”, you begin making choices that feel grounded instead of reactive. Peace doesn't require certainty–It requires permission to slow down. Day 10: “I don't let myself want anything. There's no room for me.” Many homeschool moms quietly silence their own desires — believing that wanting something for themselves is selfish or impractical. But here's the truth: A calm homeschool life includes you. Your interests, creativity, curiosity, and growth don't compete with your children's needs — they enrich the entire ecosystem of your home. A purposeful mom models what it looks like to live with intention, not resentment. There is room at the table for you. 1% Shifts That Move You Toward a Calm Homeschool Life These days focus on rebuilding self-trust and naming the quiet longing for change — the moment many homeschool moms realize they need a calmer, more supportive way forward. Day 11: “I don't trust myself… I wait for someone else to tell me what to do.” When you've been taught to defer — to experts, authority, or external approval — it's easy to lose touch with your own inner knowing. But homeschooling asks you to lead from wisdom, not permission. A calm homeschool life emerges when you begin trusting yourself — your discernment, your lived experience, your values — and making choices from integrity rather than fear of getting it wrong. Day 12: “I can't keep living like this — but I don't know how to change it.” It's the point where something in you knows there must be another way — a way home to yourself, to clarity, to sustainability. You don't need to solve everything at once. You need support, perspective, and small practices that build resilience over time. You need a 1% shift. That's how calm is cultivated — gently, consistently, compassionately. Creating a Calm Homeschool Life Through 1% Shifts A calm homeschool life isn't about eliminating challenges; it's about changing how you meet them. Days 7–12 invite you to notice where pressure, self-doubt, and self-abandonment show up — and to respond with curiosity instead of criticism. If as you listen you find yourself thinking, “I need help making those 1% shifts — but I don't know where to start,” that's exactly why I created the 12-Day Self-Care Challenge. It's gentle, doable support for homeschool moms whose plates are already full — designed to help you move away from overwhelm and toward a homeschool life that actually feels good from the inside out. Join the 12-Day Homeschool Mom Self-Care Challenge This is exactly why I created the 12-Day Homeschool Mom Self-Care Challenge. It's not another checklist or performance-based challenge. Instead, it's twelve small, doable shifts designed to help you come back to yourself with compassion, not pressure. Daily Letters – Thoughtful reflections to help you see your needs clearly. Gentle Reflection Prompts – Uncover the stories you've been carrying. Tiny, Doable Practices – Small actions to create real emotional space. As one mom said: “Your work has ripple effects because you're nurturing the nurturers.” You deserve that same nurture too.

Today I host Scott Britton, a former tech entrepreneur who sold his company to Salesforce, to talk about a journey you rarely hear about: a profound spiritual and Kundalini awakening that hit him in the middle of his high-pressure career. We discuss why success and spirituality don't have to be separate paths, how he navigated years of spontaneous energy movements while running a business, and the practical method he developed to turn every business meeting and life challenge into a moment of spiritual growth. This is for anyone who feels called to grow spiritually but doesn't believe they have to leave their career or life behind to do it.00:00 Intro 04:28 High-Achieving Life and Inner Emptiness 08:13 The Ayahuasca Ceremony That Changed Everything 10:25 Kundalini Awakening Begins 12:44 Navigating Awakening While Running a Business 17:50 Using Triggers as Mirrors 20:40 A Real-World Example 26:14 The Continuous Process of Kundalini Purification 33:59 Defining "Conscious Accomplishment" 37:38 How Spiritual Growth Changes You 41:09 Life as a Continuous Spiritual Practice 45:03 Telepathy, Energy, and Other Metaphysical Experiences 49:35 "Conscious Talent" 52:52 Where to Find Scott LEARN MORE ABOUT SCOTT BRITTON https://www.conscioustalent.com/ JOIN MY COMMUNITY In The Space Between membership, you'll get access to LIVE quarterly Ask Amy Anything meetings (not offered anywhere else!), discounts on courses, special giveaways, and a place to connect with Amy and other like-minded people.

 It's the season of giving—and today, we're unwrapping one of the most transformative gifts of all: the gift of mirrors. In this episode, Shannon sits down with Dr. Sheila Gujrathi, biotech entrepreneur, physician, and trailblazer whose career has taken her from Harvard to the helm of Gossamer Bio—and into the heart of human-centric leadership. You may know her from her TED Talk, “Shattering the Glass Ceiling by Finding the Right Mirrors,” and her book, The Mirror Effect, which helps leaders everywhere see themselves—and each other—more clearly. Together, Shannon and Sheila explore how to shatter the glass ceilings not only above us, but within us. They discuss how fear, insecurity, doubt, and shame—the “FIDS,” as Sheila calls them—can quietly hold us back, and how surrounding ourselves with mirrors who see our brilliance can change everything. From learning to “have your own back,” to creating your personal board of directors, this episode is a reminder that confidence begins when we start believing the reflections that lift us higher. Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VV_mAbu_N0g✨ This December, give yourself the gift of belonging—and pass it on. 

This week we're recapping The Dead Files episode “House of Mirrors,” but — in true TAC fashion — we veer wildly off the rails in the best possible ways. We also talked about Megan's full-blown Oregon Chai obsession, Amy's unexpected backyard cryptid sighting, whether possums are adorable or demonic, why yelling at ghosts never works, and the ongoing “tree burial vs. cremation vs. body farm” debate that absolutely will not die. We talk of the upcoming season finale, listener suggestions for new investigations, potential paranormal podcast crossovers, and haunted places within road-trip distance that the TAC crew could visit in 2026. Prepare for tricksters, history, side quests, and a whole lot of laughing at the absurdity of it all. So grab your Oregon chai (trust us), get cozy, and join us…where The Activity Continues. Content Warning: In this episode we mention suicide by hanging (or was it?) and some child death in history. Also, while Amy and Steve's swears are bleeped on TV, ours are not. Chapter Markers00:00:26 Intro00:01:30 Content Warning & Housekeeping00:06:43 Segment One – The Set Up00:28:03 Segment Two – The Investigation00:44:08 Discussion of Hanging00:45:56 Segment Three – The Reveal00:56:34 Research and Rabbit Holes01:01:48 Outro/Disclaimer Episode links:Oregon Chai Tea Concentrate: https://amzn.to/4p4k3g3The Dead Files Official Podcast: https://pod.link/1642377102Amazon links could generate a small commission to us at no cost to you. The Activity Continues is a paranormal podcast where soul friends Amy and Megan chat about true crime, ghost stories, hauntings, dreams, and other paranormal stuff including the TV show, The Dead Files.

If you've ever felt stretched too thin, this episode is for you. In Part 1 of my series, 12 Things I've Learned About Homeschool Moms, I share the first six insights I've gathered over my years as a homeschool mom, coach, and guide for women just like you. These self-care tips for overwhelmed homeschool moms aren't rules or prescriptions—they're real-life reflections from someone who's walked this path, experienced the overwhelm, and learned how to reclaim herself without abandoning her homeschool dreams. Join the 12-Day Self-Care Challenge for Homeschool Moms What You'll Learn: Self-Care Tips for Overwhelmed Homeschool Moms Every homeschool mom faces invisible challenges, even when things look “perfect” from the outside. In this episode, I dive into the first six things I've learned about the homeschool mom experience: You feel like you never get a moment to yourself – The constant “on” mode can leave you disconnected from your own body and needs. No one sees everything you do – From teaching to caregiving to emotional labor, the invisible load is real. You say yes because it feels easier than dealing with disappointment – Learning to say no is a radical act of self-care. You're emotionally depleted – The overwhelm is rarely about homeschooling itself—it's about carrying too much without space to reset. You feel guilty resting – Rest isn't optional; it's essential for your health, your energy, and your presence in your family. You don't even know who you are anymore outside motherhood – Reconnecting with yourself is foundational to leading a confident, aligned homeschool life. Every one of these six things isn't a sign that you're doing homeschooling wrong—they're signs that you're human and have been carrying more than anyone was meant to carry alone. Why These Self-Care Tips for Overwhelmed Homeschool Moms Matter If any part of this episode made you exhale or think, “oh… that's me,” consider this your gentle invitation to start tending to yourself with the same care you offer everyone else in your home. Emotional overfunctioning and people-pleasing can follow you into homeschooling, and slowly, you lose not just your energy, but your sense of self. Reclaiming yourself isn't selfish—it's foundational. Your kids feel safest when you feel safe. Join the 12-Day Homeschool Mom Self-Care Challenge This is exactly why I created the 12-Day Homeschool Mom Self-Care Challenge. It's not another checklist or performance-based challenge. Instead, it's twelve small, doable shifts designed to help you come back to yourself with compassion, not pressure. Daily Letters – Thoughtful reflections to help you see your needs clearly.

Today, I explore a powerful truth: your money is mirroring your mind. I sit down with Clarity Coach Precious Azuree to unpack why pausing to reflect is often the very thing that transforms your wealth story. Precious shares the season that forced her to slow down, release control, and listen for God's direction, revealing how clarity and abundance flowed once she stopped hustling. We talk about the discomfort of the pause, the identity shifts required to build sustainable wealth, and why alignment, not effort, is what actually moves the needle. Precious also walks us through her Faith Focus Formula and how reconnecting with your beliefs reshapes your financial reality. This conversation is an invitation to step back, breathe, and see where you may be holding yourself back. When your mind shifts, your money follows.

In this episode, Stacey explores how picture books about moving, starting over, and making a new home—including stories of immigrants, refugees, and families in transition—can inspire and elevate students' writing. Drawing on Rudine Sims Bishop's work about books as mirrors and windows, she highlights three powerful titles: My Home is in My Backpack, You Are Home, and Just Say Welcome. Each book offers students opportunities to see themselves, build empathy, and practice meaningful writing craft moves. You'll also learn a simple, actionable routine for using picture books as mentor texts in your classroom right away. Whether your students have lived through significant changes or are learning to welcome others, these stories will help every child find their voice and build a sense of belonging through writing.References:Craft Moves: Lesson Sets for Teaching Writing with Mentor Texts by Stacey Shubitz (Stenhouse Publishers, 2016)Just Say Welcome by Emily Raij and Nathalia Takeyama (Kar-Ben Publishing, 2025)Mirrors, Windows, and Sliding Glass Doors by Rudine Sims Bishop (1990)My Home is in My Backpack by Eugenia Perrella and Angela Salerno (Floris Books, 2025)You Are Home by Bex Tobin Fine and Andres LandazabalTHANKS TO OUR AFFILIATE!Zencastr: Use our special link (https://zen.ai/mqsr2kHXSP2YaA1nAh2EpHl-bWR9QNvFyAQlDC3CiEk) to save 30% off your first month of any Zencastr paid plan. Send us a textPlease subscribe to our podcast and leave us ratings/reviews on your favorite listening platform.You may contact us directly if you want us to consult with your school district.

Send us a textA friend hits play in a car and everything changes. That's how Yada first landed on Rick Ross's radar, and it's where this story of independent moves, relentless output, and Vegas grit really begins. We sit down to unpack how a Maybach co-sign became a mandate to own his path, why he built a 600-song catalog without chasing gimmicks, and how being blacklisted from local venues pushed him to write, finance, and star in his own films.We dig into the real mechanics of momentum: relationships that turn features into friendships, the lesson learned from paying for a verse once, and the quiet patience required to survive the “nobody cares yet” phase. Yada breaks down Mustard's place as a West Coast legend, his Bay Area-heavy influences, and the difference in energy he feels as an actor compared to a rapper. The film play comes alive through Loyalty Over Trust—rooted in loyalty, betrayal, and karma—and extends to his new suspense project Smoke and Mirrors, headed to Amazon and Tubi. He explains why he casts actors over rappers, how financing shapes creative control, and why he's determined to shoot in Vegas, where access is unmatched.Beyond the studio and set, we explore discipline and mindset. Yada credits jiu-jitsu for patience, presence, and two national golds, and he doesn't shy from hard takes on AI: useful as a tool, dangerous as a creativity eraser. We also tackle streaming economics, the tradeoffs between reach and revenue, and the ownership mindset that keeps artists afloat. Bonus: his favorite Vegas vegan spots, including Down To Earth and Prones and Plants, because fueling the grind matters.If you're building in music, film, or any creative lane, this conversation is a field guide to staying independent, choosing relationships over optics, and letting your catalog do the talking.

Closing out the year strong, we welcome in Another Love out of Bogotá, Colombia, sending us off with dubby ambient textures and minimal techno bliss, enjoy! -- Follow @another_lovelovelove https://www.instagram.com/anotherlove.mbtf -- “The vitality of club music acts as a conduit for his personal emotions and as a means to influence others. The spectrum of emotions he conveys - in his productions and DJ performances - ranges from reminiscence and vehemence to loneliness, sadness, melancholy and brutality, often merging darkness and light in sync as a genuine style of his artistic identity. In his singular path as an artist, Another Love deviates from standardized structures and, instead, focuses on emotional response.”

The Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos is renowned for her large-scale sculptural pieces which have featured in galleries across the world. She has used materials such as fabric, plastic and even tampons to construct her works. In June 2018 her exhibition I'm Your Mirror opened at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. For this Joana made a series of new sculptures, including an enormous Venetian-style mask, made of overlapping mirrors. The construction of the huge mask was a process full of challenges as the enormous structure took shape in Joana's Lisbon studio. In this programme Anna McNamee follows Joana through the process of working with the mirrors and explores how the piece is designed, shaped and packed up ready to begin its journey to Bilbao.

Jim McTague reports that the economy in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, is strong, suggesting it mirrors the greater US economy despite reports of low consumer confidence, observing robust traffic at tourist destinations like Kitchen Kettle Village, a shopping locale established in 1954, with spending largely supported by well-off boomers. Local entrepreneurs are experiencing great success—a dealer selling eclectic electric lamps in Park City Mall is already earning $4,500 per week at the start of the holiday season, and high volume at Costco, where the Amish are major buyers, further indicates available disposable income. McTague concludes that the real economy on Main Street is strong and likely headed for a blockbuster Christmas season. 1954
