From Menstruation to Moonpause: The Spiritual Rite of Passage No One Talks AboutEpisode #125 - In this soul-stirring episode, I sit down with Tanishka, also known as The Moon Woman - a global leader in the women's spirituality movement. For nearly three decades, Tanishka has empowered women to reclaim their birthright of ancient mystic traditions.She's the author of 6 transformative books, including Goddess Wisdom (Hay House), which explores the power of archetypes, emotional healing, and relationship dynamics. Her lunar guidance blog was followed by over 500,000 people for 11 years, and she has trained women in 44 countries to lead Red Tent circles that offer support during the darkest lunar phase - menstruation and emotional descent.In this conversation, we explore the rising voice of midlife women, the spiritual opportunity of perimenopause, and how honoring the moon's wisdom reconnects us with our feminine essence. Tanishka also shares a glimpse into her upcoming book Metaphysical Moonpause and retreats in Bali and Morocco designed to initiate women into this sacred new chapter.This episode is a call to remember, reclaim, and rise.TakeawaysThe understanding of life and woman as mysteries is crucial.Viewing women through a rational lens is a disservice.Reinstating the lost aspects of the feminine is essential.The sacred feminine helps make sense of life's mysteries.Observing natural cycles aids in understanding transitions.Historical contexts have impacted the perception of femininity.The role of the sacred feminine is to guide through change.Astrological ages influence our understanding of cycles.Connection to nature is vital for feminine wisdom.Embracing the mystery of womanhood enriches our lives.Sound Bites"Life is a mystery and woman is a mystery.""We do that through observing the cycles of the sun."Connect with Tanishka:FacebookInstagramYoutubeTwitterTiktok Let's Connect!⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠Rumble⁠⁠⁠Tik Tok⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠Linktree⁠

You can't change what you don't see — and most of us aren't really looking.Observation isn't passive.It's an intentional act — one that demands presence and patience.Tip Cullen, Yohance Boulden, Shaun, and I explore the act of observing — from perception to perspective.Before we can lead, adapt, or grow… we have to truly see.But what does that really require of us?- Tip Cullen, formerly a UK Royal Marine Commando, is now a screen and stage actor trained to read between the lines of human emotion.- Yohance Boulden, formerly U.S. Army Intelligence and now a contractor and deep thinker, brings insight forged through creativity, culture, and conscious self-reflection.Both guests have learned that real observation isn't just about what's in front of us… but what's underneath.Is it about staying still long enough to see?How does awareness become wisdom?And how do the most meaningful actions begin with intentional perception?We won't just explore what we're observing — but what we've failed to notice… until now.

Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom Session: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ticket Subscribe to the podcast: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/subscribe Podcast show notes, links and transcript: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/  Why is it so hard to deal with uncertainty, and what does that have to do with hoarding? This week I'm joined by Dr Jan Eppingstall to unpack how our brains handle ambiguity, why fear of making mistakes can keep us stuck, and how intolerance of uncertainty feeds into hoarding behaviours. We break down practical ways to build up your tolerance for not knowing and share some strategies that might actually make a difference. Uncertainty and Its Challenges Definition and context of uncertainty Evolutionary reasons for discomfort with uncertainty (Selfish Brain Theory) Contrast between historical resource scarcity and modern abundance Our minds' outdated ways of managing uncertainty Cognitive Closure What is cognitive closure? Difference between cognitive closure (psychological need for definite answers) and “closure” in pop culture (emotional resolution) How it relates to need for certainty in present/future, not just past events The creation of cognitive closure measurement scales by researchers Factors influencing need for cognitive closure: Personality traits: Conscientiousness, neuroticism (now called emotionality), openness to experience, extroversion Trauma history and its effects on the nervous system Neurodivergence (with emphasis on autism and “sticky thinking”) Combination of personality, trauma, and neurodivergence Intolerance of Uncertainty Psychological definition of intolerance of uncertainty Negative cognitive bias: How it affects perception and response Manifestations in people experiencing uncertainty as distress Its direct relevance to hoarding behaviours The Link Between Hoarding Disorder and Intolerance of Uncertainty Research findings: intolerance of uncertainty as a predictor of hoarding symptom severity Usefulness in early intervention strategies intolerance of uncertainty as a transdiagnostic factor (across anxiety, some depression, and other mental health conditions) How heightened anxiety sensitivity in hoarding perpetuates avoidance Experiential avoidance in hoarding (saving and acquiring behaviours) Connection between maladaptive behaviours and intolerance of uncertainty Fear of Making Mistakes and Perfectionism Common fears of mistakes in hoarding (disposing, acquiring, putting things away) Perfectionism's role (fear of failure, not wasting) All-or-nothing thinking and rigid decision-making rules Paralysing effect of avoidance due to fear of mistakes Not making a decision as a potential mistake itself Interaction and reinforcement between perfectionism and intolerance of uncertainty Comorbidity and Severity Research on multiple diagnoses: More than half of psychiatric patients have more than one diagnosis Diagnostic challenges and overlapping criteria How comorbidity compounds issues: More symptoms and more complexity Higher intolerance of uncertainty linked with more severe hoarding, especially when other conditions are present Impact on treatment difficulty intolerance of uncertainty's Impact on Acquiring and Discarding Behaviours How acquiring reduces fear of missing out and future needs Difficulty discarding as protection against future regret Shame around mistake-making Common inner questions: Future use, responsibility, relationships More complexity leading to more avoidance Nuances in intolerance of uncertainty and Hoarding Study on sub-factors of uncertainty: Factor 1: Negative self-referential implications (linked to hoarding severity) Factor 2: Perception of uncertainty as unfair (not linked) Internal vs. external perspectives on uncertainty Relevance of anxiety-driven self-criticism Changing Relationship to Uncertainty: Curiosity and Reframing Rilke's quote on “loving the questions” Transforming approach from fear to curiosity Curiosity as a therapeutic tool Creativity in imagining alternatives and solutions Relevance of loss aversion and cognitive biases Modern Life and Uncertainty Intolerance Research linking increased use of technology (instant answers) to rising intolerance of uncertainty Smartphone/information overload and decreased tolerance “muscle” Relevance to hoarding (desire for backups, information saving) Example: IMDb, screenshots, saving digital info Treatment Strategies Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) effects on intolerance of uncertainty in anxiety Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and exposure-based methods: Pros and cons Importance of a therapist experienced in error-related distress and uncertainty Key skills: Observing distress, sitting with uncomfortable feelings, gradual exposure Self-help approaches: Reframing mistakes as learning Practicing self-compassion Values-based decision-making Systematic exposure to small errors Gradually breaking rigid rules (e.g., waste, tidiness) Recognising individual differences and seeking appropriate support Embracing Mistakes and Humanity Learning from therapist/client anecdotes Cultural expectations around perfectionism vs. real human messiness How mistakes can be positive or even entertaining Letting go of the need for perfection The Four Cs for Managing Uncertainty From Elizabeth Weingarten: Curiosity, Conversation, Community, Commitment How to foster each: Curiosity: Approach with questions and exploration Conversation: Discuss uncertainties with trusted people Community: Build social support Commitment: Dedication to exploring questions and knowing when to let go Links Hillman, S.

When we meditate, over time, we learn to observe our thoughts and not to get swept away by them. This meditation hopes to help the meditator re-center, re-balance into the present moment through breath.

Send us a textHave you ever been in a wilderness season for an extended period of time? I'm in one now, and Jamie MacDonald's song Desperate resonated deeply with me. When we explore the stories of desperate people in Scripture, we find that God consistently shows up in powerful ways. This week, we follow the example of one such person—the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings—and discover how faith-fueled contentment can coexist with crisis.Scripture References2 Kings 4:8-37Key PointsDesperation comes in many forms. Scripture reveals both positive and negative responses to desperation—such as the woman with the issue of blood versus Esau trading his birthright for a bowl of stew.Faith-fueled contentment is not denial. The Shunammite woman's “all is well” was not a pep talk—it was a declaration rooted in deep faith.Desperation doesn't have to drive you from God—it can drive you to Him. In her moment of crisis, the Shunammite woman didn't send word—she went to the prophet herself and clung to his feet.Unmet desires don't negate contentment. Even though she didn't ask for a son, the longing was still there—and God met it. But when the promise seemed lost, she chose action rooted in belief.Observing biblical narrative carefully leads to powerful insight. Repetition, character details, and implied time gaps all deepen our understanding of the text and help us engage more fully.Bible Interaction Tool Exercises (BITEs) UsedRead in context – Engage with the full narrative in 2 Kings 4:8-37.Repetition – Read and re-read the passage to become familiar with the details.Make observations – Write down what you notice in the text.Use your imagination – Picture the setting and feel the emotions in the scene.Define words – Look up and explore both meanings and antonyms.Consider the opposite – What does it mean not to be desperate? What does contentment look like?Use the SPECK method: S – Is there a sin to avoid?P – Is there a promise revealed?E – Is there an example to follow?C – Is there a command to obey?K – What should I know about God?Additional ResourcesLyrics and chords - New Release TodayMy friend Denise Pass's book Make Up Your Mind and her speaking live on the Shunammite woman has informed this episode - link to Make Up Your MindFree Episode Guide Logos Bible Software Affiliate Link resources - Logos Bible Software Affiliate LinkThis Week's ChallengeRead this narrative for yourself in 2 Kings 4:8-37.

Feathers and Flame: Poetry of Australian Landscapes and Personal Transformation A heartfelt collection that intertwines the beauty of Australian wildlife, international locations and personal growth. It reveals emotional truths, inviting readers to explore the process of healing through nature. Observing nature, especially how animals and birds interact and give unconditionally, provides moments of stillness, enabling deep gratitude and peace.  Learn more about Kathryn (Kate) Carlisle and her work at https://kcarlisleauthor.com/   TOPICS OF CONVERSATION About Feathers and Flame and the Inspiration Behind the Collection – Kate shares how nature walks, personal memories, and her experience in the Australian Defence Force inspired this deeply reflective and healing body of work. Writing as a Path to Healing – Through poetry and journaling, Kate explored grief, self-forgiveness, and emotional transformation, using stillness in nature to process past experiences and reconnect with herself. Themes, Style, and Visuals – The collection blends short poems, longer reflections, and full-color landscape photography to create a layered, sensory storytelling experience grounded in emotion and place. Author Readings: “Mirror Me” and “Storm” – Kate reads two poems aloud, one reflecting on self-acceptance (Mirror Me), and another capturing the destructive and renewing force of nature (Storm). What's Next for Kate – She's continuing to write, including poems from the perspective of animals, and is considering turning Feathers and Flame into an audiobook. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Kate Carlisle spent her early years in various regions of Australia, sometimes in a double-decker bus and a caravan, travelling across New South Wales, South Australia, north Queensland, the Northern Territory, and Western Australia. During the family's travels, Kate learned to write by listing all the creeks and rivers they crossed in a notebook. This unique background, filled with diverse landscapes and experiences, shaped her experiences and writing. It instilled a deep appreciation for nature and a sense of adaptability that would later help her heal. Kate served in the Australian Defence Force (ADF) for almost 39 years. At 16, she joined the Royal Australian Navy as an apprentice Electronics Technician, her formative year. After 10 years, she transitioned to the Royal Australian Air Force, serving nationally and overseas, separating in March 2023. Throughout her career, Kate found solace in writing, using it to express herself. She wrote about her experiences in the ADF, the challenges she faced, and the moments of triumph. Her writing served as a form of self-expression and a way to connect with others who might be going through similar experiences. As a veteran, Kate completed the ADF Arts for Recovery, Resilience, Teamwork and Skills program, which helps build confidence and resilience in people experiencing health and wellbeing challenges related to service in the ADF. Kate found joy and an unlimited opportunity for healing through creative writing, and combined this with her love for nature and the outdoors. When at home, Kate spends time in the Goorooyarroo Nature Reserve, a space that Kate loves and uses to connect and experience the profound healing power of nature.     CONNECT WITH KATE CARLISLE Website:  https://kcarlisleauthor.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kathryn.carlisle.148 LinkedIn:  www.linkedin.com/in/kate-c-40702b9a Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kate1_carlisle?igsh=MThnZmVtbzR5M2llaw==

Crystal Rivers | Open Book | Jul 1, 2025 You must understand that from the very moment you received Jesus as your Lord and Savior, an exceeding greatness of power took residence within you - the same power that raised Christ from the dead. This isn't advanced spiritual knowledge; this is the foundational milk of God's word that every believer should be operating in from day one. Yet the reality is that 95-98% of believers are not functioning fully in these basic truths. Your spiritual growth depends entirely on establishing the proper foundation of who you are in Christ. You are not the person you used to be. You are now the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus - a completely new creation. When the Bible says "old things have passed away and all things have become new," this isn't merely positional truth; this is your actual reality that must be activated and lived out. Here's what you need to grasp: you don't just have a new spirit - you have a new bloodline. The natural blood that once carried the consequences of sin and death has been replaced with the blood of righteousness. Life is in the blood, and since you have the life of God, you now carry the blood of Jesus Christ. This new bloodline breaks every generational curse and removes Satan's legal right to harass your life through your ancestry. Your path forward requires consistent declaration and prophecy over yourself. Don't wait for others to speak prophetic words over you - you must learn to declare the truths of Scripture concerning your identity. When you consistently speak what God says about you, you're not just making positive confessions; you're aligning your soul with the reality of your spirit and empowering angelic activity around you. Love of the brethren isn't optional - it's essential to your faith development because faith works by love. As a new believer, you naturally gravitated toward fellowship with other believers, sharing discoveries from God's word and experiencing His voice. This foundational love must continue growing, progressing through levels until you can genuinely love even your enemies. This progression from glory to glory applies to every aspect of your spiritual life. You must move beyond being impressed by miracles and start understanding the truths that produce spiritual power. Observing supernatural displays can stir your faith momentarily, but lasting transformation comes from learning the secrets and principles that create such demonstrations. The kingdom of God is not in observation - it's in you. Your daily practice should involve recognizing yourself as a new man in Christ, putting away behaviors inconsistent with righteousness (lying, envy, anger, manipulation), and exercising your authority over darkness. You have power to cast out devils, heal the sick, and overcome every circumstance - not because of your position or title, but because of righteousness. Never allow any situation to overwhelm you. When challenges arise, bring them under the ministry of the spirit of righteousness.

Crystal Rivers | Open Book | Jul 1, 2025 You must understand that from the very moment you received Jesus as your Lord and Savior, an exceeding greatness of power took residence within you - the same power that raised Christ from the dead. This isn't advanced spiritual knowledge; this is the foundational milk of God's word that every believer should be operating in from day one. Yet the reality is that 95-98% of believers are not functioning fully in these basic truths. Your spiritual growth depends entirely on establishing the proper foundation of who you are in Christ. You are not the person you used to be. You are now the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus - a completely new creation. When the Bible says "old things have passed away and all things have become new," this isn't merely positional truth; this is your actual reality that must be activated and lived out. Here's what you need to grasp: you don't just have a new spirit - you have a new bloodline. The natural blood that once carried the consequences of sin and death has been replaced with the blood of righteousness. Life is in the blood, and since you have the life of God, you now carry the blood of Jesus Christ. This new bloodline breaks every generational curse and removes Satan's legal right to harass your life through your ancestry. Your path forward requires consistent declaration and prophecy over yourself. Don't wait for others to speak prophetic words over you - you must learn to declare the truths of Scripture concerning your identity. When you consistently speak what God says about you, you're not just making positive confessions; you're aligning your soul with the reality of your spirit and empowering angelic activity around you. Love of the brethren isn't optional - it's essential to your faith development because faith works by love. As a new believer, you naturally gravitated toward fellowship with other believers, sharing discoveries from God's word and experiencing His voice. This foundational love must continue growing, progressing through levels until you can genuinely love even your enemies. This progression from glory to glory applies to every aspect of your spiritual life. You must move beyond being impressed by miracles and start understanding the truths that produce spiritual power. Observing supernatural displays can stir your faith momentarily, but lasting transformation comes from learning the secrets and principles that create such demonstrations. The kingdom of God is not in observation - it's in you. Your daily practice should involve recognizing yourself as a new man in Christ, putting away behaviors inconsistent with righteousness (lying, envy, anger, manipulation), and exercising your authority over darkness. You have power to cast out devils, heal the sick, and overcome every circumstance - not because of your position or title, but because of righteousness. Never allow any situation to overwhelm you. When challenges arise, bring them under the ministry of the spirit of righteousness. Command Satan to remove his hands from your finances, marriage, health, and family, declaring your identity as one who is seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. This requires consistency. If you engaged with these truths for hours every day for weeks or months, you would experience a complete transformation of your spiritual atmosphere. The goal isn't perfection but the full establishment of these foundational realities in your life, enabling you to demonstrate the resurrected life of Christ through your mortal body. Remember: you are ascending, you are untouchable by darkness, and you have been translated into the kingdom of God's dear Son. Live from this reality, declare it consistently, and watch as the life God has written for you begins to manifest in every area of your existence.

Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom Session: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ticket Subscribe to the podcast: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/subscribe Podcast show notes, links and transcript: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/  Today I'm talking about why letting yourself make mistakes - like running out of everyday items or doing things imperfectly - can actually help if you're struggling with hoarding. From challenging perfectionism to rethinking the fear of scarcity, I'll share how embracing messiness can move us forward. Plus, I'll offer practical ideas for easing those fears and making progress, one small, imperfect step at a time. Announcement of new dates for Dehoarding Accountability Zoom Sessions. Aimed at connecting people who hoard for conversation and simultaneous decluttering. Details on how to get tickets and availability through several upcoming months. The Value of Making Mistakes Challenging the idea of perfection and fear of making mistakes. Proposing the benefits of allowing oneself to: Make more mistakes. Run out of things occasionally. Do things imperfectly or “half-arsed.” Identifying how fear of mistakes and perfectionism can keep people stuck in hoarding behaviours. Perfectionism and Fear of Scarcity Perfectionism: Fear of making the “wrong” decision leads to inaction or keeping everything. Uncertainty about the future and anxiety about discarding items. All-or-nothing thinking: If it can't be done perfectly, it's not worth starting. Personal reflection on the struggle with perfectionist tendencies. Fear of Scarcity: “Keep it just in case” mentality. Stemming from past experiences of poverty or deprivation. How personal history and upbringing foster scarcity-based behaviours. Recognition that such fears can be irrational and still hold significant power. How this fear leads to over-acquisition and reluctance to discard. Addressing Perfectionism and Scarcity (Mindset Shifts) Techniques to gently challenge perfectionism and scarcity fears. Reframing mistakes as learning opportunities rather than failures. Allowing for experimentation as a method of progress. Embracing Mistakes as a Path Forward Learning from mistakes as a source of growth and behaviour change. Normalising occasional regrets over discarding or not acquiring something. Comparing the cost of keeping everything versus the occasional “mistake.” Observing emotional responses to mistakes as a way to learn and build decision-making confidence. Encouragement to start with low-risk decisions and build up “dehoarding muscle” gradually. Allowing Things to be Done Imperfectly Encouragement to “do things badly” rather than waiting for perfect execution. “Done is better than perfect” as a motivating principle. The danger of all-or-nothing thinking leading to perpetual inaction. Practical examples of doing small tasks imperfectly: Tackling a small part of a larger problem (e.g., half a shelf). Donating a partial bag of items. Taking any step forward, even imperfect ones, counts as progress. Allowing Yourself to Run Out of Things Creative and resourceful solutions arise when supplies run low. Examples from daily life (cooking, art journalling) where scarcity breeds creativity. Differentiates between essential items and those where running out is an acceptable risk. Suggestions for consciously assessing what's truly necessary to keep in stock. Experimental Mindset: Treating Dehoarding as Data Collection Each decision - successful or not - provides valuable data for future choices. Building confidence and capability for bigger, more challenging decluttering decisions over time. Summary and Reinforcement of Key Points Allow for imperfection, mistakes, and occasional scarcity. Importance of starting with manageable steps and celebrating imperfect progress. “Done is better than perfect”—taking action, however small, is crucial.

New Cancer Moon: observing and supporting others

Navigating Risk, Noise, and Uncertainty: Barry Ritholtz on Investing in a Volatile World   In my conversation with Barry Ritholtz, chairman of Ritholtz Wealth Management and host of Bloomberg's “Masters in Business” podcast, we explored market and real estate cycles, caution, and capital allocation in today's increasingly unpredictable economic environment. Below are the most actionable and provocative takeaways for real estate investors, both passive and professional, drawn from Barry's decades of lessons and market observations.   Origins of Insight: From Blog to Bloomberg Ritholtz didn't set out to run a multi-billion-dollar firm. What started as daily trading notes eventually evolved into a blog, a book, Bailout Nation, and a platform that positioned him to correctly call both the top and bottom of the 2008 financial crisis. This journey, grounded in curiosity and behavioral finance, shaped the contrarian and data-driven approach he still employs today.   "I just wanted to know why some people made money while others didn't doing the same thing."   The 2008 Playbook: Behavioral Edge Over Economic Models Ritholtz attributes his early warning of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) to non-traditional thinking and real estate roots (his mother was a real estate agent). Observing abnormal refinancing activity and "cash-out mania" led him to investigate securitized debt and derivative risk, well before it was mainstream.   He reverse-engineered risk from Reinhart & Rogoff's crisis research and famously predicted the Dow's decline to ~6,800—earning mockery initially, then vindication.   Echoes of 2008? Why This Time Feels Precarious While he stops short of predicting a crisis, Ritholtz allows for a 10–15% probability of a self-inflicted depression – a worst-case scenario rooted not in structural weakness, but political mismanagement.   “It [is an] asymmetrical risk to take one bullet, put it in a six shooter, spin the wheel, and put it up against your head with a $28 trillion economy.”   From tariffs to immigration policy to fiscal gamesmanship, Ritholtz sees signs that the U.S. may be eroding the long-standing trust that underpins reserve currency status and global capital flows.   Cash Isn't a Plan, Discipline Is When asked whether it makes sense to sit in cash and wait out the next downturn, Ritholtz counters with behavioral caution. Historically, those who “go to cash” rarely reenter at the right time and often miss the rebound entirely.   “If you're going to sit out in cash, do you have the temperament, the discipline to get back in?” Instead, he recommends building resilience: modest leverage, long-term focus, and capital efficiency – hallmarks of legends like Sam Zell, who Ritholtz holds up as a model of disciplined real estate investing.   A Word on Leverage: Use with Extreme Care High leverage is the common thread in stories of ruin. Ritholtz referenced the downfall of the Peloton CEO, who borrowed heavily against inflated stock. The same caution applies to over-leveraged real estate investors, especially those who haven't endured a full cycle.   “Market crashes are where capital returns to its rightful owners.”   For CRE sponsors, now is the time to refinance where possible, preserve cash, and maintain flexibility, even if that means lower IRR projections.   How to Filter the Noise: Create an Information Diet Ritholtz emphasized the need to tune out “financial candy from strangers” – the firehose of social media, Substacks, and hot takes by unvetted commentators.   “They don't know your zip code, your goals, your tax bracket. Why would you trust them?” He recommends identifying a shortlist of credible voices with defined, rational processes and a record of sound judgment. “Build your A-Team,” he advises. “Then ignore the rest.”   Real Estate Today: Not Monolithic, but Multifaceted Unlike equities, real estate behaves very differently depending on location, asset class, and capital structure. While some sectors (e.g., Class B office) remain distressed, others (e.g., data centers, multifamily in select markets, industrial) are faring relatively well.   “Literally, there are properties [Zell] held for half a century. He was long term… used modest amounts of leverage, and he bought great properties at even better prices.”   Ritholtz warns against painting real estate with a broad brush and urges nuanced thinking about cycles, risk-adjusted return, and operator quality.   Sentiment vs. Signals: What to Watch Now While he downplays the predictive power of investor sentiment, Ritholtz monitors: Three-month moving averages of non-farm payrolls Rounded tops in S&P earnings trends Residential real estate supply conditions in key metros Dollar strength (as a proxy for confidence and capital flows) “If the dollar keeps falling and supply starts rising in housing markets, it's time to pay attention.”   Dollar, Debt, and the Doomsayers Ritholtz is blunt about the debt debate. He finds most public discourse alarmist and often wrong. With the U.S. still enjoying reserve currency privileges, he sees no imminent collapse but warns against complacency.   “We've been hearing the deficit will destroy America for 50 years. It hasn't. But bad policy could.”   He is more concerned with underinvestment in infrastructure and human capital than with rising debt levels per se.   Closing Counsel for Investors For those sitting on fresh capital, say $1 million, Ritholtz advises: Clarify your goals (retirement, education, housing). Max out tax-advantaged accounts. Build a core of low-cost index exposure. Don't chase alpha before securing beta. Avoid overcomplexity: “Two dozen funds is not a portfolio.” His parting message? Discipline beats prediction. And humility is a superpower.   Final Thought “Everyone is faking it to some degree. The real danger isn't what you don't know – it's not knowing what you don't know.”   In an age of volatility and noise, Ritholtz's framework stands out: stay informed, stay skeptical, and invest like risk is real – because it is.   *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.   With insights from economists, academics, and seasoned professionals, this show helps investors respond to market uncertainty with clarity, discipline, and a focus on downside protection.    Subscribe to my free newsletter for timely updates, insights, and tools to help you navigate today's volatile real estate landscape.

Ever tried giving someone feedback about their tone…without sounding like the tone police? This episode was sparked by a listener wrestling with just that—and let's be real, it's something we've all tripped over. Join Kim and Jason as they dive into the messy, nuanced world of tone: why it matters, how to talk about it without getting judgmental, and what to do when someone's words are technically fine but their delivery leaves the room on edge. Using the CORE framework—Context, Observation, Result, and Expected next steps—they break down how to be specific about what happened, how it landed, and how to move forward without sounding accusatory or vague. Tune in to hear Kim and Jason unpack real-life examples, share the coaching that worked (and what didn't), and explore how bias, culture, and identity play into how tone is received. Bonus: Kim gets personal about a recent experience that reminded her why kindness and courage matter—on and off the mic. Get all of the show notes at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠RadicalCandor.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Guests: Nelson & Louis TuckerWhen it comes to tornadoes, getting close is both the goal and the danger. For decades, scientists have relied on radar, storm chasers, and ground-based instruments to study these violent storms. But what if we could send something right into the heart of a developing tornado? Maybe something small, nimble, and packed with sensors? That's the mission behind the OTUS Project. Using cutting-edge drone technology, this team is pushing the boundaries of what we can safely and accurately observe from inside tornadic storms. Today on Weather Geeks, we're joined by members of the OTUS Project to talk about how UAVs are changing the way we study tornadoes, what it's like to deploy them in the field, and how this data could lead to better forecasts and ultimately, save lives.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Otus Project01:37 Personal Journeys into Meteorology06:12 Understanding Tornadoes: The Need for Data10:17 Drone Technology in Tornado Research14:59 A Day in the Life of a Tornado Chase19:39 Challenges and Risks in the Field21:32 First Experiences Inside a Tornado24:50 Collaborations and Data Sharing26:34 Measuring Wind Inside Tornadoes30:19 Choosing Storms and Navigating Obstacles32:12 Regulatory Hurdles and Networking34:17 Future Aspirations for the Otus ProjectSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
