If the internet is an AYCE buffet of unlimited, endless options, there's bound to be items you find disgusting, that will make you physically ill. There's also bound to be items you find delicious AND nourishing and can't get enough of. But a majority of that buffet will be… fine. It will be mediocre filler foods that you don't remember eating at all. You may even fill yourself up on the “just okay ” foods and not realize how much better of a meal it could've been if you'd been more patient or critical with filling your plate. Not to say that mindless consumption isn't incredibly healing, sometimes.I just think it's become normal not to think about anything we engage with, and that can be more toxic than medicinal.It is not all bad, it is not all good, but it is not neutral either. It is what I make of it. It is a reflection of how I engage with it.It, like any tool, can be used as a weapon if we're not being conscious with how we wield it.This is why choosing to engage is such a powerful process.Deciding when it's too much, setting boundaries, creating realistic expectations, and being careful with not letting the algorithm co-opt my agency; all these take conscious effort.The key is staying present and conscious as often as you can.Engaging with shit because you want to, because you make the conscious choice to, not simply because it's there.I think a lot of us have become conditioned to believing “inconvenience is a barrier,” and in reality, on the other side of inconvenience is so much freedom and fulfillment.A healthy amount of resistance is what builds muscles, minds, and ideas. Friction is not the enemy.I think a healthy amount of well-placed friction is the only thing that keeps shit from sliding off the shelves and into a heap on the floor.We are constantly bombarded with shit trying to make us numb, sad, hopeless, defeated, so that we become so overwhelmed with the idea of any additional discomfort (even when it's the good kind) becomes absolutely unbearable.The wealth-hoarding class wants us to be good little cattle who give over our time, data, energy, money, and peace without questioning.So every time we act with intention, we push back against the systems of manipulation, profiting off of our misery.Read episode scripts on Julie's Medium Blog.SUPPORT JULIE (and the show!)DONATE to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund AND THE Sudan Relief FundGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM AND YOUTUBESUBSCRIBE FOR BONUS CONTENT ON PATREON.The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

Unlocking God's supernatural plan for your life requires abandoning what comes naturally and stepping into the divine intention He established before the fall. In this Walk It Out Wednesday, Sarah Jakes Roberts challenges us to shift from our second nature back to our first nature as image-bearers of God. She breaks down our identity as heirs, detailing how we learn to shift environments by partnering with God and how the storms we face don't disqualify us from our inheritance. She reminds us that we have the capacity to be agents of change in our families and communities when we align with God's original design for our lives. Some of the questions that lead this conversation include: How do I find my inheritance in God when storms keep coming? How do you function in limited environments when you have unlimited capacity? How can I get back to my first nature — God's original intention for me? How do I ensure I'm planted and not just dreaming? Who should I share my dreams and goals with? Message: “Walk It Out Wednesday: Never Been Done Before” Speakers: Sarah Jakes Roberts Date: Jan. 7, 2026 ✨ Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don't have to walk this journey alone. Let Jesus guide your steps and fill your life with purpose and peace.

it's the first episode of the year, and Halley and Jaz are ringing in 2026 exactly how they know best: overanalyzing everything, setting unrealistic resolutions, and spiraling (lovingly) through life updates. from the psychological power of a “new year, new me” mindset to seasonal depression, meds, wellness eras, and why January feels either elite or unbearable, the girls unpack how they're approaching the year ahead: very differently.the episode flows through travel plans, brand trips, Rome itineraries, New Year's hangovers, book obsessions, TV recs that may or may not ever be watched, and the internet drama everyone seems forced to have an opinion on. the girls sound off on influencer discourse, public scrutiny, relationships in the spotlight, and why sometimes it's okay to simply not care.they also dive into relationship dynamics, wedding season thoughts, guest etiquette, bachelorette trip planning, and whether opposites really do attract. as always, the episode balances humor with honesty, proving once again that delusion, when paired with self-awareness, is actually a life skill. cozy up, welcome the new year, and let the spiral begin once again.Timestamps0:24 - 2026 Jaz 6:39 - New Years Eve11:57 - Online drama 30:50 - All things wedding 39:11 - Voice memos and facetime calls 46:42 - Cutting up a wedding dressLinks Apartments.com: apartments.com Progressive Insurance: progressive.comMore of Delusional Diaries Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delusionaldiariespodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@delusionaldiariespodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@DelusionaldiariespodcastSubstack: https://delusionaldiariespodcast.substack.com/Website: https://delusionaldiaries.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As we begin a new year, I'm reflecting on a question that quietly shapes every yoga teacher's journey: why do you teach? In this episode, I share personal insights from my own path, the lessons that only time and experience reveal, and why certifications alone don't create longevity in teaching. I also share details about the upcoming 300-hour online teacher training, live Q&A session, and important dates if you're considering taking the next step in your practice or teaching.Episode Highlights:Why certifications and accumulated hours don't guarantee confidence or sustainabilityThe difference between loving yoga and being able to teach it long-termHow burnout, injury, and doubt reveal the importance of a deeper “why”Why purpose in teaching is personal, evolving, and not meant for performanceThe connection between discipline, consistency, and Sutra 1.145 Important things about your whyKey updates on the upcoming 300-hour online teacher training and live Q&AWaitlist for the Online 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training (launching January)Sequence Smarter – The Living Body of AsanaFor teachers living in India, reach out to Janessa at admin@ahamyoga.com for special local pricingJoin our mailing listFind all the resources mentioned in this episodeConnect with us on Instagram

What does it really mean when someone looks at your career and says, “You should be doing more”?In this episode of ComicLab, Brad and Dave respond to a pointed listener question that cuts straight to the bone: If they have the skills, the experience, and the ideas — why haven't they launched even more projects? The answer isn't defensive or dismissive. Instead, it becomes a clear-eyed breakdown of creative bandwidth, sustainability, work-life balance, and the invisible labor that propels up a long-term comics career. From Patreon and newsletters to storefronts, commissions, podcasts, and family responsibilities, they unpack why “doing enough” is often misunderstood from the outside — and why restraint can be a strategic choice, not a lack of ambition.The conversation then pivots to one of the trickiest problems any humor writer faces: How to judge your own work when readers don't get the joke. How many confused comments are just statistical noise—and when do they signal a real problem in execution? Brad and Dave dig into the uncomfortable middle ground between ego and humility, exploring how to listen to feedback without letting it derail your voice, and how to improve clarity without sanding off what makes your work distinctive. It's a nuanced, experience-earned discussion about ramps, chasms, audience expectations, and why “it happens to everyone” is not an excuse — but also not a death sentence.If you've ever felt pressure to produce more, or struggled to decide whether reader confusion is a warning sign or just the cost of taking creative risks, this episode offers hard-earned perspective from two cartoonists who've been navigating those exact questions for decades.TakeawaysCreative projects often take a backseat due to time constraints.Cartoonists manage a heavy workload that includes multiple projects.Balancing creativity with administrative tasks is crucial for success.Feedback from readers can help improve comic writing.Self-editing is a continuous process for comic creators.Reader confusion can indicate a need for better communication in comics.Communication is key in the artistic process.     You get great rewards when you join the ComicLab Community on Patreon$2 — Early access to episodes$5 — Submit a question for possible use on the show AND get the exclusive ProTips podcast.

Inspired by a question from a follower, Valencia Shannon, this episode explores what “stranger danger” really looks like for autistic children and why traditional advice often falls short.Shannon walks you through: Why autistic kids experience safety, fear, and impulse control differentlyHow to teach safe vs. unsafe situations instead of relying on fear-based messagingReal life scenarios you can practice with your child in public, at school and onlineThe very real dangers of online gaming, social platforms and sextortionWhy supervision and monitoring are not about control — they're about protectionShannon also shares personal stories about her son Jordan, including why, at 29, safety planning and supervision are still necessary due to impulse control and lack of fear — and how meeting your child where they are is not failure, it's love.

She had a studio. She knew in-person sales. But after 25 years, Elissa was hiding behind online galleries, over-editing 40 images per client, and barely scraping $700 per session. It felt easier—until it didn't. This is the story of how she rebuilt her confidence, trusted a system, and hit $142K in just six months. Meet Elissa Bean, a seasoned photographer who almost walked away from her craft. Burned out and disconnected, she believed the lie that digitals were the only way forward.

“Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength.” Eric Hoffer, The Passionate State of Mind The internet has connected the world, but it has also unleashed a torrent of hostility. The primary source of this hostility is the online hater. Hidden behind a screen and protected by anonymity, these individuals mock and insult creators, podcasters, online personalities, […] The post The Psychology of Online Haters – Nietzsche's “Poisonous Flies” first appeared on Academy of Ideas.

Mel Kohberger was training to become a mental health therapist when her brother was arrested for murdering four University of Idaho students. In one phone call, her entire life changed. Her job offer evaporated. Tabloids camped outside her parents' house. Online sleuths picked apart every detail of her family's history — including her sister Amanda's appearance in a 2011 horror film that featured stabbings.For three years, the Kohberger family stayed silent out of respect for the victims' families. Now, in a new interview with The New York Times, Mel is finally telling her side of the story.She reveals the last normal Christmas the family spent together — just days before the FBI raid. She describes her brother's struggles with bullying, autism, and heroin addiction, and the pride the family felt when he seemed to turn his life around. She explains the drawing Bryan held during his sentencing — not a "creepy" symbol, as tabloids claimed, but a colorful heart she made to remind him he was still loved.This isn't a defense of Bryan Kohberger. He pleaded guilty. He's serving four life sentences. This is about what happens to the people connected to someone who commits an unthinkable act — and what the true crime obsession costs the people we never think about.Featuring reporting from The New York Times, CBS News, and ABC News.#BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #KohbergerSister #TrueCrimePodcast #IdahoStudentMurders #MadisonMogen #KayleeGoncalves #XanaKernodle #EthanChapin #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Slavery did not end in the nineteenth century—it persists today, hidden in global supply chains, religious justifications, and systems of power. Kevin Bales and Michael Rota join Evan Rosa to explore modern slavery through history, psychology, and theology, asking why it remains so difficult to see and confront.“It's time some person should see these calamities to their end.” (Thomas Clarkson, 1785)“There are millions of slaves in the world today.” (Kevin Bales, 2025)In this episode, they consider how conscience, power, and religious belief can either sustain enslavement or become forces for abolition. Together they discuss the psychology of slaveholding, faith's complicity and resistance, Quaker abolitionism, modern debt bondage, ISIS and Yazidi slavery, and what meaningful action looks like today.https://freetheslaves.net/––––––––––––––––––Episode Highlights“There are millions of slaves in the world today.”“Statistics isn't gonna do it. I need to actually show people things.”“They have sexual control. They can do what they like.”“Slavery is flowing into our lives hidden in the things we buy.”“We have to widen our sphere of concern.”––––––––––––––––––About Kevin BalesKevin Bales is a leading scholar and activist in the global fight against modern slavery. He is Professor of Contemporary Slavery at the University of Nottingham and co-founder of Free the Slaves, an international NGO dedicated to ending slavery worldwide. Bales has spent more than three decades researching forced labor, debt bondage, and human trafficking, combining academic rigor with on-the-ground investigation. His work has shaped international policy, influenced anti-slavery legislation, and brought global attention to forms of enslavement often dismissed as historical. He is the author of several influential books, including Disposable People and Friends of God, Slaves of Men, which examines the complex relationship between religion and slavery across history and into the present.

I'm a professor. I should know that.”– Stories disrupting moral distance more powerfully than statistics– “There were three little stories inside, about three different types of enslavement … it put a hook in me like a fish and pulled me.”– United Nations documentation mostly ignored despite vast evidence– Decades of investigation into contemporary slavery– Fieldwork across five regions, five forms of enslavement– Kevin Bales's book, Disposable People as embodied witness with concrete stories– “Statistics isn't gonna do it. I need to actually show people things. There's gonna be something that breaks hearts the way it did me when I was in the field.”– Psychological resistance to believing slavery touches ordinary life– Anti-Slavery International as original human rights organization founded in U.K. in 1839– Quaker and Anglican foundations of abolitionist movements– Religion as both justification for slavery and engine of resistance– Call for renewed faith-based abolition today– Slavery and religion intertwined from early human cultures– Colonial expansion intensifying moral ambiguity– Columbus, Genoa, and enslavement following failed gold extraction– Spanish royal hesitation over legitimacy of slavery– Las Casas's moral conversion after refusal of absolution– “He eventually realized this is totally wrong. What we are doing, we are destroying these people. And this is not what God wants us to be doing.”– Sepúlveda's Aristotelian defense of hierarchy and profit– Moral debate without effective structural enforcement– Power described as intoxicating and deforming conscience– Hereditary debt bondage in Indian villages– Caste, ethnicity, and generational domination– Sexual violence as mechanism of absolute control– “They have sexual control. They can beat up the men, rape the women, steal the children.

Send us a textBen and Daphna review the ICAF randomized clinical trial evaluating extended caffeine therapy in preterm infants and its impact on intermittent hypoxia through 41 weeks postmenstrual age. They discuss the study design, oximetry outcomes across multiple saturation thresholds, inflammatory biomarkers including TNF-α, and clinically relevant safety signals such as oxygen restart rates, length of stay, and weight gain. The conversation focuses on what intermittent hypoxia may mean for ongoing risk, and whether a targeted subgroup of infants might benefit from extending caffeine beyond traditional stopping points.----Intermittent hypoxia and caffeine in infants born preterm: the ICAF Randomized Clinical Trial.

The web is turning agentic. And that changes everything from shopping to search to SEO.In this episode of TechFirst, John Koetsier sits down with Dave Anderson (VP at ContentSquare + host of the “Tech Seeking Human” podcast) to unpack what happens when browsers and AI assistants don't just answer … they do stuff. For you. On your behalf.From Atlas and agentic browsing to the growing backlash from retailers (hello, Amazon vs Perplexity), we explore who benefits, who loses, and what the internet becomes when agents are the default user.You'll hear why retailers are nervous (security, margins, coupon hunting), why agent-first experiences might create “headless” retailers (like ghost kitchens, but for ecommerce), and why search is shifting from SEO to AI visibility. Plus: real talk about trusting agents with your credit card, hallucinations, and what it means if your agent can look indistinguishable from you.GuestDave Anderson — VP, ContentSquarehttps://contentsquare.comPodcast: Tech Seeking Humanhttps://www.techseekinghuman.aiLinks & subscribeSubscribe for more conversations on tech, AI, and what's next: https://techfirst.substack.comTranscripts always available herehttps://johnkoetsier.com00:00 Agentic web: what changes when browsers “do stuff”00:59 Meet Dave Anderson (VP + podcast host)01:31 30,000 feet: why “agents” suddenly matter03:48 The agent future John wanted 10 years ago04:21 Why Amazon doesn't want your agent shopping on Amazon05:07 Ticketmaster, bots, and the security nightmare06:26 Siri's original promise vs today's reality08:31 Are agents just bots… or something different?10:04 Retail fears: coupon hunting, margins, returns chaos11:21 Can you trust an agent with your credit card?11:59 Why retailers want their own agents (and control)13:14 Amazon's agent works… but is it the whole internet?14:19 Ghost kitchens for retail: “headless” agent-first brands15:17 Hugo Boss jacket test: agents vs manual search16:40 Agents should talk to your finance agent17:14 Kids + deepfakes: what even looks real anymore?18:04 Is this corrosive to apps… or the web?19:10 Online identity, anonymity, and agent verification20:28 Two futures: human-first brands vs agent-first retail21:19 Agentic browsers on your device: can they “look like you”?22:51 Baseball vs golf: the best analogy for search now24:44 Instant shopping problem: returns + missing “services layer”26:10 AI weirdness: wrong names, wrong locations, shifting behavior27:37 Agents beyond shopping: support is the sleeper win29:49 Inventing the future: who adopts agents and who won't31:13 Will people get tired of AI and crave humans again?31:45 Serendipity vs optimization: the restaurant debate32:36 Wrap: nobody solved agents… but the shift is real

When your child is struggling with anxiety or OCD, fear can quietly take over your parenting. Fear of making things worse. Fear of missing something. Fear of what the future might hold. In this episode, I explore the hidden cost of parenting from that place.I talk about how fear often shows up in ways we don't always recognize, such as agitation, constant anxiety, over-cheerleading, or swinging into punitive responses when we are exhausted and overwhelmed. While these reactions are completely understandable, they can unintentionally undermine trust and keep both parent and child stuck.I also share how things shifted when I stopped parenting from fear and began meeting my child exactly where they were. That change did not mean doing less. It meant responding differently. By building trust and creating emotional safety, my child was able to feel more empowered and begin taking ownership of their own struggles.This episode is for parents who are trying their best but feel stuck in survival mode. We talk about how to recognize fear-driven parenting patterns and how moving toward a more anchored approach can change the tone of your relationship and support your child's growth.Learn how to be a solid anchor for your child in my free series.

In this episode of the Uploft Interior Design Podcast, I open up about the loss of my beloved dog and how it has impacted my start to 2026. Instead of a typical episode, I decided to do a throwback focusing on throw pillows and online auctions. I reflect on my past year, the challenges of moving to Connecticut, and my desire to regain a sense of direction in my life and work. I share my newfound obsession with online auctions, recounting a humorous story about bidding on memorabilia from a house we considered buying, which I plan to gift to my husband. I also answer a listener's question about finding quality throw pillow inserts and covers, recommending various online resources. Lastly, I encourage listeners to participate in our contest by leaving a five-star review on iTunes for a chance to win my online interior design class.

In this episode, I do a reaction—and a critical deep dive—into Paul Saladino’s newly released Heart & Soil grass-fed whey protein. I explain why whey protein is considered the highest biological-value protein on the planet, why I’ve personally been very selective about using it, and what immediately caught my attention when Paul repeatedly claimed his whey is “better than all other proteins” because it’s made directly from milk instead of cheese—without explaining why. Since that claim matters, I dig into the details to see whether it actually holds up. I share insights from a third-generation family cheesemaker I trust, who’s been in the whey business for decades, about how whey is actually produced and why making whey directly from milk requires much higher processing temperatures—up to around 160°F—compared to the cold-processed methods used for high-quality whey protein isolate. I explain why higher heat can damage nutrient potency, bioavailability, and immune-supporting proteins, break down the key difference between whey protein isolate and whey protein concentrate, and why the Heart & Soil product appears to be a concentrate despite being marketed as superior. I also talk about red flags around “proprietary” processing claims, compare this kind of marketing to similar claims made about creatine products, and give credit where it’s due—grass-fed New Zealand sourcing and third-party heavy-metal testing—while encouraging listeners to look past hype and understand how their protein is actually made. TIMESTAMPS: Let's look at the protein supplements and how they are described. When you see the word “proprietary,” it throws up a red flag. [02:02] Making whey from milk instead of cheese requires higher processing temperatures. [04:08] Be careful when you hear the sales pitches. Of course, the product sounds great when presented enthusiastically.

Gary Zimmerman of Max® explains how to utilize your cash asset in retirement. Cash is one of the most overlooked assets in retirement. Here's how retirees can earn thousands more in interest while keeping their money safe and FDIC-insured. Many retirees spend years carefully managing their investments — stocks, bonds, and retirement accounts get plenty of attention. But there's one asset class that often gets ignored: cash. In this episode of Retire Today, I'm joined by Gary Zimmerman, founder and CEO of Max® to talk about why so many Americans are earning next to nothing on their bank money — and how that quiet mistake can cost retirees tens of thousands of dollars over time. As Gary explains early in the conversation, “People think that the bigger the bank, the safer it is. And that's patently not true.” In fact, many of the banks that failed during past financial crises were among the largest institutions. Why Cash Matters More in Retirement Cash plays a unique role in retirement. It provides liquidity, stability, and peace of mind — especially when markets are volatile. But that doesn't mean cash has to sit idle. Gary shared that after years as an advisor, he started getting a flood of calls from clients during the COVID period. Their CDs were maturing, and rates were dropping instead of rising. “They were missing out on thousands of dollars in interest,” he said. At the same time, trillions of dollars across the U.S. were sitting in bank accounts earning close to zero — while other savers were earning closer to 4% in the same type of FDIC-insured accounts. That gap is not about risk. It's about awareness and access. FDIC Insurance: Safety Without Sacrificing Yield One of the most important parts of the conversation focused on FDIC insurance. Many people believe that as long as their money is at a big-name bank, it's automatically safe. But FDIC insurance has limits — typically $250,000 per depositor, per bank, per ownership category. As I shared in the episode, I regularly see “everyday millionaires” with far more than $250,000 sitting in bank-type accounts — without full insurance coverage. Gary explained how spreading cash across multiple institutions increases FDIC protection and improves interest rates at the same time. “The more diversified you are, the more guarantees you get from the FDIC,” he said. Why Banks Pay So Little (And Why They Can) A question many retirees ask is simple:If higher rates exist, why don't banks automatically pay them? Gary's answer was refreshingly blunt. Banks don't raise rates unless they need your money. When a bank pays 0.1% or 0.2%, it's often a signal: “They're telling you they don't want your money.” Online banks, smaller institutions, and rate marketplaces compete aggressively for deposits — and that competition benefits savers who are willing to look beyond their local branch. As Gary put it, “There's an actual market for your money. Just like selling a house, you have to put your money on the market to get the best price.” DIY vs. Using a Service Could retirees do all of this on their own? Yes.But should they? Gary compared the process to constantly switching phone plans or insurance providers. It works — but it requires attention, time, and discipline. Rates change, banks create teaser accounts, and some institutions quietly lower yields after a few months. Max® was designed to automate that process. As Gary described it, the goal is to “spend five or ten minutes thinking about cash, then never think about it again.” For many clients, that convenience translates into meaningful results. Gary shared that a retiree with $250,000 in cash could earn roughly $10,000 more per year, or $100,000 over a decade, simply by managing cash more effectively. The Behavioral Finance Problem Nobody Talks About One of my favorite parts of the conversation focused on behavioral finance. People say they like their bank because it feels familiar. But when asked how they actually interact with it, the answer is usually: “I use the app.” At that point, loyalty becomes expensive. As Gary summed it up, “The bank owes you nothing. You owe the bank nothing.” Your savings should work as hard as you did to earn it. The Bottom Line Cash isn't boring — it's powerful when used correctly.For retirees, optimizing cash can mean more flexibility, less risk, and thousands of dollars in additional income over time — without chasing returns or increasing exposure.

Sarah Grace Patrick is headed toward a January trial, accused of killing her mother and stepfather inside their Carroll County, Georgia home. Prosecutors insist the evidence is overwhelming. But what the public has actually seen raises serious questions.There's no confirmed murder weapon. No publicly disclosed physical evidence. No clear motive. What has surfaced are TikTok videos, private messages, and a funeral speech some have labeled unsettling. Online behavior has become part of the narrative—but does that equal proof?Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to strip the emotion out of the headlines and examine what really matters. We break down the social media activity that drew law enforcement attention, the lesser-known family history buried in court filings, potential problems with how statements were obtained, and the extraordinary reliance on testimony from a six-year-old sibling.Is this a solid homicide case moving toward conviction? Or a prosecution leaning heavily on interpretation, optics, and how a teenager processed grief in public?This is a case where perception may be doing as much work as evidence.

Join the conversation! Send Magic a text here!Today I'll dig into the crucial differences between sensation and perception and their significant impacts on our health. Sensation is defined as physical feelings like touch, sight, or pain, and can be acute or chronic. Perception, on the other hand, is shaped by our beliefs and past experiences. These are similar, but not the same, and they intertwine to influence our wellbeing. I can't overstate the importance of positive thinking and offers strategies to reframe our beliefs and perceptions for better health. Now that we're in a new year, I encourage you to reflect on and address sensations and perceptions to create a healthier future. Support the showConnect with Magic:A Magical Life Podcast on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/amagicallifepodcast/On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wholisticnaturalhealth/Online: https://wholisticnaturalhealth.com.auA Subito Media production

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is SM Stevens, author of the book Beautiful and Terrible Things. S.M. Stevens began writing fiction during back-to-back health crises: a shattered pelvis and ovarian cancer. She writes contemporary novels designed to make readers laugh, cry, and think. Her most recent novel, Beautiful and Terrible Things, has won seven awards including Indies Today's Best Literary Book of 2024, and an Honorable Mention in the Social Issues category of the 2024 Readers' Favorite International Book Award Contest. Her novella The Wallace House of Pain won the 2023 American Fiction Award for Best Novelette, and First Place in the Short Fiction category of the Chanticleer International Book Awards. A lifelong New Englander other than stints in England and Italy, she lives in Washington, N.H.   In my book review, I stated Beautiful and Terrible Things is a contemporary fiction by SM Stevens. We start by meeting Charley, a 29-year-old who believes she is cursed to lose everyone she loves. To combat this, she lives a very rigid and lonely life - until she meets Xander. He invites her to meet his band of diverse race, gender, and sexually oriented friends Terrance, Sunny, Jessica, and Buwan.   Charley is a social misfit, but from the beginning, I was cheering her on. Her rigid schedule and self-harm made me want to wrap my arms around her and help her see it was going to be okay - when I wasn't stamping my feet because she was being ridiculous! Of course, I felt the same way about each of the friends. At times, they seemed to have their heads on straight - at others? Not so much. And isn't that just like me, you, and everyone we know?   SM doesn't hold back. She brings in social components of our time including race and sexual orientation, but also mental health issues and green initiatives. With characters all along each of these spectrums, we are given the opportunity to see these topics from all sides - from those who live them to those who wonder if they really exist. We also get a glimpse into what we might do when we see something that isn't to our liking - and learn that there isn't just one way that is the right way.   This is a wonderful story about friends and what that can look like despite different life experiences.

Autism content is not the same thing as autism science. In this episode, Dr. Theresa Lyons joins me to talk about what it really means to follow the science of autism, and why parents cannot rely on headlines, algorithms, or outdated assumptions when the stakes are this high. Theresa is a Yale trained scientist and autism parent, and she breaks down how peer reviewed research actually moves, how easily it gets distorted, and why it can take 20 to 30 years for scientific conclusions to become common medical practice. We talk about how misinformation spreads online, including research showing that 70% of the most viewed autism videos on TikTok were classified as wrong or over generalized. Theresa explains why credibility does not come from views, and why parents need to get closer to the source, or choose trusted interpreters who do. We also dig into the bigger picture that often gets missed when families are only offered behavioral therapies. Theresa shares how she thinks about risk, genetics, environment, and total load on the body, and why broad buckets like sleep, diet, hydration, and gut health matter when you are trying to support a child. This is a powerful reminder to trust your intuition, be willing to do the work, and stay curious. The goal is not to chase every rabbit hole. The goal is to build clarity, prioritize what matters, and change the trajectory one step at a time. Key Takeaways "Follow the science" should mean peer reviewed publications, not headlines. Theresa explains why going to sources like PubMed, or using trusted interpreters of that research, matters when mainstream summaries can be rushed, incomplete, or wrong. It can take 20 to 30 years for research to reach common practice. That lag matters when your child is five now, not thirty five later, and it is why parents often need to be proactive rather than waiting for systems to catch up. Mainstream media can sound credible while still being misinformation. Theresa shares how even well meaning articles can be based on shallow research done under deadline pressure, which can derail a family's decisions if they are not careful. Online engagement is not the same thing as accuracy. Research discussed in this episode found that 70% of top autism videos on TikTok were classified as wrong or over generalized, which is a wake up call about where many families are getting "education." Parents have to balance curiosity with discernment. The goal is not to chase everything. The goal is to build enough scientific literacy to ask better questions, recognize weak claims, and avoid fruitless rabbit holes. Autism is diagnosed through observation, which can hide the "why" underneath. Theresa explains how biology, chemistry, and health factors can be missed until developmental delays become obvious, and then families are left sorting out root contributors after the fact. Broad health buckets deserve attention alongside therapies. Sleep, hydration, digestion, and diet can meaningfully affect regulation and behavior, and Theresa points out that these basics are often dismissed as "just autism" when they deserve real investigation. Diet interventions require clarity about goals and consistency. Theresa discusses why families need to identify symptoms first, understand mechanisms like gut permeability and immune load, and avoid comparing "partial" changes to results from structured clinical trials. Risk is complex because genetics and environment interact. Theresa describes why research often speaks in terms of increased risk rather than simple causation, and why what is relevant depends on the individual child's context. Trust your intuition and commit to the long game. Theresa's closing message is that change is like turning a boat. It takes effort and time, but a parent's willingness to learn and keep going can meaningfully change a child's trajectory. .About Theresa Lyons Dr. Theresa Lyons is an international autism educator, Ivy League scientist, and autism parent. She holds a PhD in computational chemistry from Yale University and previously worked in the pharmaceutical industry in research and development and as a medical strategist. After her daughter was diagnosed with autism, she applied her scientific training to understanding autism research and now teaches parents how to navigate the science with clarity and confidence. She is the founder of Navigating AWEtism, a platform designed to turn autism complexity into clarity by organizing scientific information and making it accessible and actionable for families. Through her work, she has supported parents in 21 plus countries and reaches a growing global audience through years of science backed education on YouTube and social media.

Poser des limites est l'un des plus grands défis des femmes leaders. Dans cet épisode du podcast Sensées, Jenny Chammas, mastercoach certifiée et fondatrice de Coachappy, met des mots sur une posture très répandue : celle de la “bonne poire”. Cette tendance à faire passer les besoins des autres avant les siens, à éviter l'inconfort, à prendre sur soi pour que tout le monde aille bien. À travers cet épisode, vous allez comprendre pourquoi ne pas poser des limites vous coûte cher - en énergie, en reconnaissance, en argent et en impact - et comment changer de posture sans renier qui vous êtes.Être une leader “bonne poire”, c'est souvent assurer partout : au travail, à la maison, émotionnellement pour les autres. C'est ne pas dire les choses, ne pas faire les feedbacks nécessaires, accepter des retards, des débordements, des responsabilités qui ne sont pas les vôtres. C'est aussi porter la charge émotionnelle de son équipe, de sa famille, de son entourage, jusqu'à s'oublier soi-même. Jenny montre comment cette incapacité à poser des limites mène progressivement à l'épuisement, à la perte de sens et à une baisse de l'estime de soi.Dans cet épisode, vous explorez aussi l'autre posture possible : celle de la leader “bad ass”. Une leader qui reste empathique, mais qui ne se sacrifie plus. Une leader qui sait poser des limites, affirmer ses besoins, valoriser son travail et assumer ses choix sans culpabilité. Contrairement aux idées reçues, cette posture ne rend ni dure ni froide : elle permet au contraire d'exercer un leadership plus juste, plus clair et plus durable.Ce que vous saurez faire après écoute :– Identifier les situations où vous avez du mal à poser des limites.– Comprendre le lien entre people pleasing, culpabilité et manque d'estime de soi.– Mesurer le coût réel de la posture de “bonne poire” dans votre vie professionnelle et personnelle.– Développer une posture plus affirmée sans perdre votre empathie.– Faire de vos besoins une boussole légitime dans vos décisions de leader.Jenny partage également des réflexions clés sur la responsabilité émotionnelle, la peur de déplaire et l'importance de cultiver une estime de soi solide pour sortir des schémas de suradaptation. Cet épisode est une invitation à arrêter de ramasser les miettes et à prendre pleinement votre place - au travail, à la maison et dans votre vie.

The Go Radio Football Show: 6th of January, 2026. This is a catch-up version of the live, daily Go Radio Football show.  Don't miss it – PLAY and HIT SUBSCRIBE, and NEVER miss an episode! In this episode of The Go Radio Football Show, Paul Cooney is joined by Celtic Hero Charlie Mulgrew and Award Winning Journalist Mark Guidi. Martin O'Neill returns to Celtic for a THIRD spell, just weeks after being pushed aside — and only days after the club spiralled under Wilfried Nancy. This episode dissects the brutal realities of modern football management, and whether experience, authority and simplicity can still beat “projects” and sporting directors. Martin O'Neill Returns — Again O'Neill speaks candidly about the strangeness, pressure and reality of stepping back into the Celtic hot seat. No magic wand. No excuses. Just urgency, credibility and results. Why this short-term appointment could either steady Celtic or expose deep-rooted flaws. Celtic's Breakdown Laid Bare Eight catastrophic games. 18 goals conceded. Tactical confusion. Why Wilfried Nancy's rigidity proved fatal — and why the warning signs were obvious. The quiet sacking of Paul Tisdale and how football directors escape blame. “It's Players, Not Systems” Why O'Neill rejects over-complication. The return to clean sheets, defensive trust, and dressing-room authority. A blunt rejection of “project managers” at elite clubs. January Window: Make or Break Celtic need 2 strikers, a centre-back, a midfielder — minimum. Rangers also need quality, not quantity. The danger of late moves, loans, and panic buys. Rangers Are Back Danny Röhl's tweaks expose Celtic's fragility. Chermiti redemption. Tavernier restored. Belief rising. Rangers now genuine title contenders again. Hearts Lead… But Can They Hold? Six points clear — but are Hearts ready for the pressure? Why being chased is harder than leading. The season where everything might swing late. Motherwell: Everyone's Talking About Them “The best footballing performance of the season.” Why neutral fans can't look away. Could Motherwell actually split — or crash — the Old Firm?

The environment you're in right now is strategically designed to draw out something greater within you. In this transformative message from Luke 2:46-52, Sarah Jakes Roberts explores how God places us in situations that demand more from our hidden spiritual capacity. Just as Moses was drawn from the Nile, God pulls out what He's already placed inside us through the environments we encounter. Hannah's story in 1 Samuel reveals that breakthrough often requires doing something unnatural to access the supernatural. When Jesus humbled Himself to live in human limitation, He modeled the ultimate act of surrendering what was natural for something greater. Your willingness to shift your environment, not just wait for your season to change, may be the key to experiencing what God wants to do through you. Obedience is the only strategy for stewarding something bigger than your understanding. This message shows us how to break out of limitation and step into supernatural breakthrough. Message: “Never Been Done Before” Scripture: Luke 2:46-52 (NKJV) Speaker: Sarah Jakes Roberts Date: Jan. 4, 2026 ✨ Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don't have to walk this journey alone. Let Jesus guide your steps and fill your life with purpose and peace.
