Whitney Stropp is a podcast host, comedian, writer, and speaker, and the co-creator of Every Widow Thing, a show that has become a lifeline for people navigating grief, loss, and identity after the death of a spouse. She's also my co-host on our new podcast Anything But Mid, where we're rethinking midlife without the pressure to fix, optimize, or pretend everything is fine.In this conversation, Whitney and I talk honestly about grief, midlife, menopause, reinvention, and the unexpected role humor plays in surviving hard seasons. Whitney shares how losing her husband reshaped her worldview, why grief is not linear, and how laughter became both a coping mechanism and a bridge back to life.We also get real about the overwhelm of midlife wellness trends, the pressure to “optimize everything,” the fear of aging, and why this season can actually be the most expansive chapter yet. This episode is funny, raw, comforting, and deeply human — like a conversation you'd have with a close friend after the holidays when real life sets back in.What we talk about:Navigating grief without a “right” way to do itWhy humor can coexist with deep painReinventing yourself in midlifeThe freedom that comes with empty nesting and identity shiftsMenopause, brain fog, and body changes — without shameLetting go of the pressure to optimize everythingWhy “Anything But Mid” is about permission, not perfectionGratitude, perspective, and choosing the next chapter consciouslyPlease remember to rate, review, and follow the show – and share with a friend!Check out our new Comedy Wellness Podcast: Anything But Mid, cohosted with Whitney Stropp:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/anything-but-mid/id1849386215https://www.youtube.com/@AnythingButMidFind Amy's affiliates and discount codes: https://amyedwards.info/affiliatepageSky Rock Sedona: https://www.skyrocksedona.com/20% Discount Link:https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1759866624184&key=CORP&app=resvlinkAll links: ⁠⁠⁠amyedwards.info⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@realamyedwards⁠⁠⁠Fight For Her: ⁠⁠⁠fightforher.net⁠⁠⁠TikTok:⁠⁠⁠ @themagicbabe⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠The Amy Edwards Show Podcast⁠⁠⁠Free Course:⁠⁠⁠ The Ageless Mindset⁠⁠⁠Full Course: ⁠⁠⁠The Youthfulness Hack⁠⁠⁠Work with Amy:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a Call⁠⁠⁠ Let's get you to your HAPPIEST and most RADIANT!

Today, Jay sits down with longtime friend and Grammy-nominated devotional artist Jahnavi Harrison for a deeply personal conversation about faith, creativity, and living a life of service. Together, they reflect on spiritual grounding as a daily practice, not rooted in perfection but in the ability to remain steady through uncertainty and change. Jay and Jahnavi explore the often unseen journey behind purpose-driven work, how passion gradually becomes discipline, and discipline shapes a life of devotion. They unpack the courage it takes to walk a less conventional path, especially in a world that often values conformity and external validation. Through stories of growing up between two worlds, wrestling with self-expression, and finding healing through music and mantra, they invite us to reconsider success not as achievement, but as alignment. As the conversation unfolds, their focus turns to prayer, service, and staying connected when you feel lost. Jay and Jahnavi share why speaking to God, serving others, and creating space for vulnerability can become powerful anchors during difficult seasons. Ultimately, this conversation reminds us that spirituality isn’t about having everything figured out, it’s about showing up with sincerity, listening deeply, and choosing to give, even when the path ahead is unclear. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Find Peace Through Sacred Sound How to Stay Grounded When Life Feels Overwhelming How to Turn Doubt Into a Deeper Faith How to Express Yourself When You Feel Invisible How to Trust Your Intuition Over External Pressure How to Integrate Spirituality Into Everyday Life How to Reconnect With Purpose Through Service How to Talk to God in Your Own Way You are allowed to take your time, to find your voice in your own way, and to choose a path that feels meaningful rather than impressive. Healing and purpose don’t come from perfection, but from showing up sincerely and trusting that what you offer with love will return in its own time.

Ever since we started hosting live Collider Ladies Night panels at San Diego Comic-Con, we've been tempted to explore doing group editions of the show, and what better ensemble to start that with than the women of the new Knives Out movie?Mila Kunis, Cailee Spaeny and Kerry Washington are some of the latest to join Rian Johnson's growing Knives Out family. In the third installment of the Oscar-nominated franchise, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, Spaeny and Washington play two of Monsignor Wicks' (Josh Brolin) parishioners. Washington's Vera Draven is a lawyer whose father was a close friend to Wicks before he passed, and Spaeny plays Simone Vivane, a renowned concert cellist struggling with health concerns.When Monsignor Wicks is suddenly killed in the middle of a service while totally alone in the storage closet, Kunis' Police Chief Geraldine Scott calls upon Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) to investigate. Could Vera or Simone have killed Wicks? Or perhaps it was another member of his flock? Or, what about the church newcomer, Josh O'Connor's Father Jud Duplenticy? This time around, Blanc will have to do the impossible — solve a locked-room murder mystery.The Knives Out movies have become highly regarded for their summer camp-like sets and for their unparalleled rosters of talent, and Wake Up Dead Man is no different. Not only are Kunis, Spaeny and Washington fantastic additions to this cinematic world, but they also rock a wonderful group dynamic in an interview setting, one oozing with enthusiasm for each other as people and artists, feelings that left them eager to reunite for another film.

Hi my loves

In this special episode of the Light Up Your Metabolism podcast, I'm sharing a real coaching conversation with one of my Blood Sugar Mastery students — a woman who courageously brought her whole self to the call.She's seeing incredible improvements in her blood sugar, energy, and gym performance, has successfully tapered off metformin, and feels deeply aligned with how she's eating. But with the holidays approaching, she's nervous.Not about food availability — but about family opinions.If you've ever felt anxious about eating differently around family, worried about being judged, or struggled with people pleasing when it comes to your health choices, this episode is for you.In this conversation, we talk about how to: • Navigate family gatherings when your food choices stand out • Handle comments like “Why aren't you eating that?” or “Just have a bite” • Stop trying to make everyone comfortable with your healing • Advocate for yourself without needing agreement • Sit with discomfort instead of abandoning your needs • Reframe diet boundaries as self-respect, not restriction • Recognize people-pleasing and fawning patterns • Use your health wins as confidence — not justification • Speak kindly to yourself when comments sting • Practice emotional regulation during triggering situationsThis episode is also a beautiful glimpse into what it's like inside Blood Sugar Mastery, where every student receives real-time, one-on-one coaching and support.Healing your blood sugar often becomes a mirror for other areas of your life — especially boundaries, self-trust, and self-compassion.If this conversation resonates with you and you're ready for support, I invite you to book a discovery call or learn more about joining Blood Sugar Mastery.Book a call with me to learn more about the program: https://calendly.com/daniellehamiltonhealth/discoverycallEnroll today! https://dhhealth.showitpreview.com/blood-sugar-masterySTAY IN TOUCH WITH ME:

We also go over the emotional responses elicited by these regulatory changes, as drone pilots and manufacturers grapple with the uncertainty and potential legal ramifications. We also highlight the likelihood of legal challenges from DJI and other manufacturers, as they navigate the murky waters of compliance and enforcement as the ban's impact extends beyond DJI, affecting a wide range of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) components, thereby reshaping the landscape of the drone market. Outside the details of the ban, we elaborate and discuss on how pilots can navigate these changes to be better prepared to ensure the success of their business. Tune in today, to learn valuable insights into how drone service providers can strategically communicate with clients and adapt to these changes, turning potential market disruptions into opportunities for innovation. 5-Day Free Course: Thriving Drone Real Estate Business Transform your drone operations into a thriving real estate-focused business.

Homebuying isn't one size fits all, and your mortgage shouldn't be either. Kimberly Nehiley, senior loan officer at Supreme Lending, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss nontraditional loan options and creative strategies every Atlanta homebuyer should know. Why Homebuyers Need a Mortgage Expert Buying a home is often the most significant financial decision a person will make, and the process can feel overwhelming. Supreme Lending goes beyond traditional loan origination to help clients evaluate cash flow, debt and long-term financial goals. Nehiley said, “It’s usually the product that they have the most anxiety about, because you’re dealing with their credit, their income, their money, their hopes and dreams, and their family’s hopes and dreams.” Supreme Lending also offers Supreme Essentials, which includes Budget Essentials and Credit Essentials, 20- to 30-minute online courses that guide clients on budgeting and credit management. The firm's in-house credit expert, with more than 30 years of experience at credit bureaus, helps clients raise their scores by an average of 100 points. Nehiley said, “Maybe you’re at a 650, but getting to 750 changes your interest rate by half a percent. I mean, those can be substantial amounts.” To make the mortgage process more transparent, Supreme Lending uses an AI-powered tool called the Home Buyer Journey. The technology includes several modules that guide clients through every step of the homebuying process. Innovative Mortgage Options for Today's Buyers Looking for more flexibility in your mortgage? Nehiley shares some of her favorite options that are gaining traction: Bank Statement Loans: For self-employed borrowers, income is verified through bank deposits instead of tax returns. Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) Loans: These loans focus on rental property cash flow rather than personal income. 40-Year Mortgages: 40-year mortgages reduce monthly payments for increased affordability. Proposed 50-year mortgages could provide additional flexibility for debt management and short-term affordability. Two-One Buydowns: Two-one buydowns are temporary interest rate reductions that benefit both homebuyers and builders. Interest-Only Mortgages: Homebuyers manage their cash flow while benefiting from home appreciation. “These loans are vehicles to help buyers now—they don't mean you're locked in for decades,” said Nehiley. “You can refinance or adjust as your situation changes.” Helping Buyers Make Smart Decisions With numerous loan options and fluctuating rates, Nehiley is passionate about educating clients to reduce confusion and stress. She breaks down costs into manageable steps, showing how small changes in loan amounts, down payments or home prices affect monthly payments. “For every $10,000 in home price, your monthly payment changes by roughly $60 to $70. That perspective helps buyers make informed decisions and avoid sticker shock.” Tune into the full episode for deeper insight into innovative mortgage products, creative financing solutions and how buyers can navigate today's evolving homebuying landscape.

About Supreme Lending Supreme Lending is a nationwide mortgage lender that offers a broad array of home financing products, including conventional, FHA, VA, USDA and jumbo loans, as well as refinancing options tailored to individual borrower needs.

The holidays are supposed to be joyful — but when you're navigating divorce, they can feel emotionally overwhelming, financially stressful, and deeply isolating. In this episode of Divorce Explored on the We Chat Divorce Podcast, Karen Chellew and Catherine Shanahan have an honest, grounding conversation about how to survive the holiday season without falling apart — emotionally or financially. This is not a parenting episode. This is a human episode. Karen and Catherine normalize the reality that joy and grief often coexist during divorce — and explain why boundaries around money, time, energy, and expectations are essential right now. You'll hear practical guidance, real personal stories, and clear permission to do the holidays differently this year. Why it's normal to feel grateful and gutted at the same time How holiday expectations quietly increase financial stress during divorce The most important money boundaries to set before you say yes to anything Why “keeping up appearances” can cost you far more than you realize How to avoid holiday debt that follows you into January Thoughtful gift strategies that don't require overspending Why co-parenting during the holidays is not a competition Time and energy boundaries that protect your nervous system How to say no — without guilt — to events that drain you Navigating the holidays with: Younger children, Adult children, or No children How forgiveness can be a gift to yourself, not a pass for others Why different holidays don't mean bad holidays — just new ones How the financial and emotional choices you make in December show up in January You are not failing because the holidays feel heavy. Boundaries are not selfish — they protect your future and your stability. You don't need to explain or defend your divorce to anyone. January will come, and preparation now creates confidence later. Choose one financial boundary and one emotional boundary to honor this season. Write them down. Keep them visible. That's enough. At My Divorce Solution, we help you replace financial fear with clarity. Our process begins with a Lifestyle Analysis — real numbers, real insight, and a clear understanding of what you can afford before decisions are made. Learn how the MDS Financial Portrait™ gives you verified numbers, expert guidance, and a personalized roadmap to protect your financial future.

I interview Jared Ayers, head pastor at First Presbyterian Church in North Palm Beach, and author of You Can Trust a God with Scars: Faith (and Doubt) for the Searching Soul. We discuss the profound impact of shared meals, the significance of the incarnation in understanding human suffering, and the importance of honesty within Christian communities. We explore themes of hope, the illusion of control, the reality of sin, and the necessity of dignity in relationships. Ayers also emphasizes the need for vulnerability and authenticity in faith, encouraging listeners to embrace their struggles and foster inclusive communities. Takeaways Meals are a reflection of our shared stories. The incarnation shows God's deep understanding of human suffering. Hope comes from knowing we are not alone in our pain. Navigating loss requires community support and understanding. We often live under the illusion of control in our lives. Christianity addresses the reality of sin and human condition. Honesty about our struggles fosters a healthier community. Dignifying others is essential for building inclusive spaces. Wrestling with faith and doubt is a normal part of life. Living an integrated life means embracing all aspects of our experiences.

Today's episode an expert visit with Dr. Mel Houser—family physician, autistic PDAer, and founder of All Brains Belong—about the realities of navigating healthcare systems with neurodivergent kids and teens. Mel shares how their clinical work and lived experience have revealed predictable patterns in the “constellation” of intertwined neuro-immune conditions many autistic and ADHD people experience, why traditional medicine often misses them, and what families can do to get safer, more informed care. This conversation is packed with practical tools, system workarounds, and hope grounded in community and bottom-up change. Note: This is a special release of an expert conversation held inside the Differently Wired Club. Enjoy! Key Takeaways How advocacy can look like bottom-up systems change—building parallel supports, community-driven solutions, and using an oblique angle instead of fighting institutions head-on Why the predictable “constellation” of medical issues in autistic and ADHD people is often missed by traditional medicine—and how a whole neuro-immune lens changes that How self-knowledge at any age becomes a medical and emotional game-changer, empowering kids and adults to understand, predict, and manage their own bodies Why teens who feel “tired of trying” need a new narrative and bigger framework, not just more interventions or treatment plans How proactively preparing for healthcare encounters—with visuals, scripts, and flexible goals—reduces dysregulation and builds long-term trust and capacity Why community and collective problem-solving are essential infrastructure when systems fail, not optional extras Additional Resources   All Brains Belong (Dr. Mel Houser's website) Dr. Mel Houser on Navigating the Healthcare System as a Neurodivergent Individual (Tilt Parenting podcast) All Brains Belong on Instagram All Brains Belong on Facebook Dr. Mel Houser on LinkedIn All Brains Belong Resource, ALL THE THINGS (Free resource for navigating neurodivergent healthcare) All Brains Belong Kid Connections (Free customized friend-making program for kids age 4-17 based on shared interests) Everything is Connected to Everything: Improving the Healthcare of Autistic & ADHD Patients Brain Club: (Weekly virtual community education program for older teens & adults) Practical Strategies for Neuroinclusive Healthcare (webinar) Learn more about your ad choices.

Together, we dig into spirituality (beyond religion), harm reduction, abstinence debates, nervous system science, ego traps like "I'll start Monday," and how we can meet ourselves with clarity and grace instead of shame.

“Then the Lord sent this message through the prophet Haggai: ‘Why are you living in luxurious houses while my house lies in ruins? This is what the Lord of Heaven's Armies says: Look at what's happening to you! You have planted much but harvest little. You eat but are not satisfied. You drink but are still thirsty. You put on clothes but cannot keep warm. Your wages disappear as though you were putting them in pockets filled with holes.'” - Haggai 1:3-6The book of Haggai is a bit of a jump back to the books of Ezra and Nehemiah and refocuses in on the temple. At its heart, this is a book about priorities. As the passage I just read says, “Why are you living in luxurious houses while my house lies in ruins?” God is using the prophet Haggai to call out hypocrisy, to call out wayward hearts but lo and behold, what happens? The people listen and we get to see God's response to their obedience. Haggai is not the longest book by any means, but there's a lot in it to unpack. To help us navigate the book of Haggai is Dr. Brian German, Associate Professor of Theology and Director of Concordia Bible Institute, and author of a commentary on Haggai. Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland.

In a world that often glorifies rugged individualism, finding real connection and mutual growth with others can feel elusive, especially when it comes to our closest relationships. The secret ingredient might just be what so many overlook: genuine collaboration—both at home and beyond. What if the key to thriving wasn't "doing it all yourself," but learning how to truly work together? In this episode, you'll discover how building circles of collaboration can transform your personal relationships, family dynamics, and even your broader social and professional connections. Through real-life stories and practical strategies, you'll learn why trust, curiosity, and deep listening are so essential for building fulfilling partnerships. You'll also hear how taking intentional steps—like active listening, sharing vulnerability, and nurturing supportive communities—can help you experience more connection, resilience, and joy in every area of your life.

She is an accomplished executive coach, keynote speaker, researcher, serial entrepreneur and co-founder of the Women's Leadership Exchange, the first national conference program for women based on collaborative leadership. She is faculty director of Executive Women's Leadership at The George Washington University – Center for Excellence in Public Leadership. Leslie's latest book, "Circles of Collaboration", reveals the time-tested method of harnessing one's success and fulfillment on the principles of collaboration, trust, generosity and communication.   Episode Highlights 06:27 Navigating leadership roles and collaboration in relationships. 08:21 Intentionality in creating circles of collaboration. 10:33 The power of deep listening and curiosity in partnership. 14:38 Building meaningful connections through intentional questions. 17:40 Vulnerability, trust, and support systems in relationships. 20:27 Generosity, active listening, and expanding your circles. 25:28 Collaborative exchanges and asking for support. 28:24 Negotiating imperfect collaboration and relationship expectations. 31:06 Bringing up important issues: Timing and communication. 34:17 The impact of collaborative relationships and taking action.   Your Check List of Actions to Take Divide and conquer roles: In partnerships, clearly designate leaders for different areas, but always ensure communication and final decisions respect collaboration and listening. Practice deep listening: Be intentional about giving your full attention to your partner or colleague; don't interrupt or assume you know what they'll say. Ask curious questions: Show genuine interest by asking open-ended questions about feelings, experiences, and perspectives to foster connection. Build multiple circles of collaboration: Develop relationships beyond your intimate partnership—think family, friends, work, and community circles—to enrich your support network. Be intentional with connection: Choose to initiate deeper conversations with those you care about, rather than keeping interactions at a surface level. Cultivate generosity: Offer your time and listening ear generously; seek ways to support others, such as facilitating introductions or sharing helpful resources. Keep track of important issues: If topics arise that feel uncomfortable to discuss, jot them down and revisit them when the timing is better; don't let them slip away. Let go of perfection: Accept that not all relationships or collaborations will be perfectly reciprocal; allow space for difference and focus energy on relationships that foster growth and mutual support.   Mentioned Circles of Collaboration (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) ERP 301: How an Entrepreneur Couple Can Negotiate Love and Business Successfully — An Interview with Dr. Ellyn Bader 12 Relationship Principles to Strengthen Your Love (free guide)   Connect with Leslie Grossman Website: Lesliegrossmanvision.com YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCqjD0Y4L0XVjzixocEsO8kw Instagram: instagram.com/lesliegrossmanvision LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/lesliegrossmanleadership

Navigating Comedy Marriage, & Faith in LA - Ron G by Ebenezer Endiryas

Opinion journalism on Russia has become a high-stakes enterprise since the start of the full-scale war in Ukraine, shaped by audiences sharply divided by politics and geography. At the center of these pressures are editors tasked with deciding which arguments deserve a platform, how much context readers need, and what constitutes responsible discourse. Few desks confront these challenges more directly than the opinion section of The Moscow Times. Against that backdrop, The Naked Pravda spoke with Charlie Hancock, the outlet's opinion editor, about how the job has changed in recent years. In the interview, Hancock describes her path into Russia-focused journalism, the unexpected editorial challenges that emerged early in the war, and the debates that now shape opinion writing on Russia. She also discusses navigating legal and political constraints, handling reader criticism, and balancing sharply divergent viewpoints while maintaining editorial coherence — and her own sanity.

In this eye opening episode of Not Your Mother's Menopause Podcast, Dr. Fiona Lovely sits down with Shanna Pearson, a world-renowned expert on adult ADHD with over 26 years of experience. For the woman who feels like the wheels are suddenly coming off the bus in midlife, this conversation is the explanation you've been searching for. Shanna cuts through the noise with a compassionate yet honest perspective. She explains why ADHD is not a superpower for many women who have been silently struggling, but a very manageable reality that requires specific tools—tools that often stop working during the hormonal upheaval of perimenopause. The episode dives deep into the crucial link between declining estrogen and plummeting dopamine, revealing why previously hidden ADHD symptoms can erupt and overwhelm at this life stage. Together, Fiona and Shanna unpack the heartbreaking cycle of misdiagnosis, where women are frequently labeled with anxiety or depression, given the wrong medications, and left feeling hopeless as their core challenges go unaddressed. Shanna provides a masterclass on the internal experience of ADHD, from the exhaustive daily masking and paralyzing overwhelm to the emotional intensity that stems from a brain that cannot compartmentalize. Most importantly, this dialogue offers a powerful pathway forward. Shanna shares actionable insights on mood scheduling, reframing self-compassion, and finding the right "brush for your curly hair"—the specific strategies that can work with your unique brain wiring. This is an essential listen for any woman who has ever asked, "Why can't I just…?" or felt profoundly misunderstood by the world and herself.
