Timmerie sits down with Katy Faust, the fierce, truth-telling founder of Them Before Us, to talk about something that should be obvious but somehow isn’t anymore: why kids need their mom and their dad. The Truth Your 4-Year-Old Already Gets Timmerie kicks things off with a conversation she had with her 4-year-old daughter, who declared (with all the sass and certainty only a preschooler can muster): t’s not true. They’re lying. Kids need a mommy and a daddy.” Out of the mouths of babes. In a world where everything is questioned (including whether moms and dads are interchangeable), this little girl sees reality clearly... and so does Katy Faust. The Cultural Crisis: When Kids Are the Casualties Katy explains how our culture has flipped the script. Instead of asking what children need, we now ask what adults want and then use kids to fulfill it. She explains why this is a major problem: Kids Have a Right to Their Mom and Dad Not just “a” mom or “a” dad... their biological parents. They’re the ones wired to love and protect that child in a uniquely fierce, sacrificial way. Adoption, Katy says (as an adoptive mom herself), is a loving response to tragedy, not a model for how we should design families from the start. Biological Identity = Personal Identity Children deeply need to know: "Whose am I?" When kids are cut off from their origins: via IVF, surrogacy, anonymous sperm donors, it fractures their sense of self. Gender Balance Isn't Optional. It’s Essential. Men father. Women mother. They do it differently. That’s a gift, not a glitch.Two dads, two moms, or three poly-partners can't replicate the complementarity of a mom and a dad. And when we pretend otherwise, kids pay the price... often through confusion, identity struggles, or even increased risk of abuse. Where the Battle’s Fiercest Katy doesn’t mince words. The two biggest cultural flashpoints where kids are denied a mom and dad: -Gay marriage made moms and dads legally optional. -Reproductive technologies intentionally separate kids from their biological parents in the name of adult “choice.” Real love puts kids first. Love = Sacrifice As Catholics, we believe children are a gift, not a right. And that means saying a loving no to practices that intentionally deprive them of their parents, even if it’s uncomfortable or unpopular. Want more? Check out Katy's book, "Them Before Us". It’s a total eye-opener, and it's a call to put children’s rights before adult desires. Kids need a mom and dad. And guess what? Even your preschooler knows it.

Let's be friends!Lesley Jane Seymour's remarkable career spans leadership roles at major women's magazines like More, Marie Claire, and Redbook—but it's what she's doing now that might be her most impactful work yet. In this candid conversation, Lesley shares how she convinced Michelle Obama to make history as the first First Lady to guest edit an entire magazine, generating 8.5 billion media impressions worldwide.What drives a successful magazine editor to become an entrepreneur focused on women in midlife? Lesley explains her passion for helping women navigate what she calls "the FU 50s"—that liberating period when we finally stop seeking universal approval and embrace authentic self-expression. "I don't have time for that anymore," she explains. "Time is running out...you can't make people like you. And that is the biggest liberation of all."The employment landscape for women over 40 is challenging, with statistics showing flat employment numbers while men's opportunities continue to grow. Lesley founded Covey Club to address this gap, creating a supportive community where women can upskill, network, and reinvent themselves. She delivers hard truths about technology skills gaps that hold many midlife women back: "95% of issues have to do with not understanding technology." Yet she approaches these challenges with compassion, teaching in ways that respect how this demographic learns.Perhaps most surprising is Lesley's insight that reinvention often happens more successfully among strangers than with longtime friends. "Reinventing yourself with strangers is easier because you can show up day one as who you want to be," she explains. At Covey Club, women arrive without judgment or history, free to become whoever they choose next.Whether you're facing empty nest syndrome, career transitions, or simply seeking your next chapter, Lesley's wisdom offers both practical guidance and emotional reassurance. As she says, "Midlife is not for sissies...don't go it alone." Ready to discover what's possible in your next act?https://www.coveyclub.com/

The Bible isn't optional—it's God's manual for life. We need to move from casual reading to building a real relationship with Jesus through His Word.

Episode 151: Why Creativity Isn't Optional Anymore for Therapists and Helpers (Season 5 Finale) What if your burnout is actually a signal that it's time to shift?What if the path back to fulfillment isn't more certifications or better time management—but more creativity, play, and aligned living? If you're a therapist, helping professional, or creative entrepreneur feeling burned out, stuck, or unsure how to keep showing up in this field you used to love… this episode is for you. In this solo season finale of The Innovative Therapist Podcast, I share what I've learned in Season 5—and in my own life—about why creativity isn't optional anymore. Not just as a bonus. But as a necessary part of sustainable, meaningful work. A Season of Alignment, Creativity, and Courage This season has been the most “me” the podcast has ever felt. We talked about creative living, storytelling, nervous system regulation, entrepreneurship, embodiment, and how to do more of the work that lights us up. And behind the scenes? I turned 40.I danced in a contemporary show.I choreographed a duet with my friend Allie about perfectionism and authenticity.I celebrated, rested, cried, and reimagined what I want to build. And most importantly—I listened.To my body. To my joy. And to the parts of me that still get scared when I try something new. If You're Asking “What Else Can I Do With My Therapy Skills?”… You're Not Alone. Many of us became therapists or helpers because we're deeply empathetic and want to create change. But somewhere along the way, you might find yourself asking: How do I keep going when I'm burned out? What other career paths exist for therapists like me? How can I use my gifts without sacrificing my well-being? Is it okay to want something different—even if I've invested so much into this path? I hear these questions all the time from folks in my community. And I've asked them myself. Which is why this episode is about offering both reflection and direction. Because creativity, when we make space for it, helps us unlock new answers to these questions. Why Creativity Matters—Especially Now Here's what I believe:Creativity and joy aren't frivolous. They're essential. They help us connect with our own aliveness. They open up possibilities. They offer healing not only for ourselves, but for our clients and communities. And they are especially important for therapists and helping professionals navigating: Burnout and compassion fatigue A changing mental health landscape Systems that reward overworking and self-sacrifice The desire for more flexibility, freedom, and fulfillment In short? Creativity is your asset.Not a distraction. Not a hobby. But a path to deeper alignment and more sustainable impact.

Add your name and email to our friends of the show list, we'll never share it. Brian #1: pre-commit: install with uv Adam Johnson uv tool works great at keeping tools you use on lots of projects up to date quickly, why not use it for pre-commit. The extension of pre-commit-uv will use uv to create virtual environments and install packages fore pre-commit. This speeds up initial pre-commit cache creation. However, Adam is recommending this flavor of using pre-commit because it's just plain easier to install pre-commit and dependencies than the official pre-commit install guide. Win-win. Side note: No Adam, I'm not going to pronounce uv “uhv”, I'll stick with “you vee”, even Astral tells me I'm wrong Michael #2: PEP 773: A Python Installation Manager for Windows (Accepted) via pycoders newsletter One manager to rule them all – PyManager. PEP 773 replaces all existing Windows installers (.exe “traditional” bundle, per-version Windows Store apps, and the separate py.exe launcher) with a single MSIX app called Python Install Manager (nick-named PyManager). PyManager should be mainstream by CPython 3.15, and the traditional installer disappears no earlier than 3.16 (≈ mid-2027). Simple, predictable commands. python → launches “the best” runtime already present or auto-installs the latest CPython if none is found. py → same launcher as today plus management sub-commands: py install, py uninstall, py list, py exec, py help. Optional python3 and python3.x aliases can be enabled by adding one extra PATH entry. Michael #3: Changes for Textual Bittersweet news: the business experiment ends, but the code lives on. Textual began as a hobby project layered on top of Rich, but it has grown into a mature, “makes-the-terminal-do-the-impossible” TUI framework with an active community and standout documentation. Despite Textual's technical success, the team couldn't pinpoint a single pain-point big enough to sustain a business model, so the company will wind down in the coming weeks. The projects themselves aren't going anywhere: they're stable, battle-tested, and will continue under the stewardship of the original author and the broader community. Brian #4: The Best Programmers I Know Matthias Endler “I have met a lot of developers in my life. Lately, I asked myself: “What does it take to be one of the best? What do they all have in common?”” The list Read the reference Know your tools really well Read the error message Break down problems Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty Always help others Write Never stop learning Status doesn't matter Build a reputation Have patience Never blame the computer Don't be afraid to say “I don't know” Don't guess Keep it simple Each topic has a short discussion.

The best part was connecting with people from different divisions working on similar problems. I love the idea of internal conferences to get people to self organize by topic and meet people they wouldn't otherwise, to share ideas.

AI is revolutionizing small businesses across all industries - from contractors to medical clinics to restaurants. What previously took weeks or months (accountability frameworks, hiring systems, org charts) can now be done in minutes with tools like the AI Business Scaling Blueprint, which combines AI efficiency with my 20+ years of leadership expertise. This isn't just about technology; it's about creating self-sustaining businesses that don't depend on owner micromanagement. Key competitive advantages for businesses embracing AI: • Automated decision-making processes • Higher team accountability • Scaling without additional hours or staff • Owners transitioning to true CEO roles • More strategic focus and less operational chaos The hesitation is understandable - learning curves feel daunting when you're already busy. But the cost of waiting grows daily as competitors pull ahead.  The AI Business Scaling Blueprint addresses common pain points by transforming operational chaos into streamlined systems that reduce owner dependency and enable strategic growth.

Honest Questions, Real Answers: “Why Bother with Church When I Can Find Community Anywhere?”Hebrews 10:19-25 Bother with church because we are the only community who… 1. Approach God together in WORSHIP and PRAYER. (v. 22)“Let us draw near to God.” 2. STRENGTHEN each other's grip on HOPE. (v. 23)“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess.” 3. Intentionally push each other toward ACTION with ETERNITY in view. (vv. 24-25)“Let us consider how we may spur one another on.” Takeaways:Stop treating church like it's OPTIONAL.Don't settle for SURFACE-LEVEL community.The question isn't “Why bother with church?” but “Why SETTLE for anything LESS?”

In this episode of the Admittedly Podcast, host Thomas Caleel tackles one of the most important truths in college admissions—and life: Hard things are hard. Whether you're aiming for a top-tier university or defining your own path, real achievement demands effort, reflection, and a mindset shift. This episode breaks down why checking boxes won't cut it, why your story has to come from you, and how to reframe the pressure into something powerful.   Key Takeaways: Hard Work Is Non-Negotiable: No one can hand you a college admissions success story. Counselors can guide you, but reflection, risk-taking, and self-direction are essential to stand out. Admissions officers notice when you've done the real work. Mindset Shifts Everything: The grind—jobs, learning, even failure—builds character. Your growth and self-awareness are what make your application memorable. Lazy shortcuts don't win respect, but showing up every day does. The Ivy League Myth: Not everyone needs to aim for the Ivy League. But if it is your goal, you need to be ready for the rigor. Prestige can't replace effort. No amount of money or privilege can buy self-knowledge, drive, or a great essay. No One Can Do It For You: Parents, consultants, or paid programs can't manufacture authenticity. Your application is your story, and the best essays come from knowing yourself—and owning your path.   Everyone is struggling with something—even those who make it look easy. We're here to support you through the process, help you focus on what matters, and remind you: it's hard, but it's doable. What's been the hardest part of this process for you? How have you pushed through? Share your story with us @admittedlyco on Instagram and TikTok.

This week on the podcast, I'm excited to introduce you to my sweet friend, Char Huskins! Char has been in the online world for 28 years, and her love for helping women share their stories through blogging shines so brightly. We dive deep into why blogging still matters, how to set your blog up for success, and what to do if you're overwhelmed trying to piece it all together yourself. If you've ever wondered whether blogging is worth it—or if you're dreaming of launching (or revamping) your own site—this episode is for you. Char's Journey: From Early Website Design to Helping Women Share Their Stories Char first entered the website world long before blogging was even a thing. As blogging evolved, she fell in love with WordPress and the idea of helping women find their voice online. Today, she specializes in building beautiful, customized websites and blogs that allow creatives to not just show up online, but shine. She believes your blog isn't just a website—it's a legacy that can turn into a book, a brand, or a full-blown business. What Char Offers: Full-Service Blog Setup and Ongoing Management Char helps women who want to blog (or who already started and got stuck) with two main services: Custom Website + Blog Builds Char creates a fully customized WordPress website that includes: Home, About, Contact, and other core pages Blog setup ready for ongoing posting Branding and logo assistance if needed Full collaboration on the look, feel, and function you want Typical timeline? About one month from start to finish, depending on how much content you have ready. "I specialize in taking over where people feel stuck—and creating a full, beautiful site they're proud of." Blog Management Services If blogging feels overwhelming, Char also offers blog management: Ghostwriting blog posts (4, 8, or 12 per month) Pinterest graphic creation Social media graphics that match your posts Optional email marketing setup help (like Flodesk or Mailchimp) You can fully outsource your blog, get a few posts a month, or just get help getting started until you find your own rhythm. Why DIY Websites Aren't Always the Best Option While DIY website builders are tempting, Char shared why having a real expert matters. With her approach, you're not just buying a “template”—you're building a foundation for your business the right way, without the constant headache of fixing mistakes later. Working with Char means: Your site is built the right way from the start It's tailored to your goals, your brand, and your audience You'll save time, frustration, and ultimately, money And her pricing is shockingly affordable for the level of customization and support you get. Is Blogging Still Worth It? Absolutely! Char and I both agreed: blogging looks different than it used to, but it's still powerful. Today, blogging is more about: Pairing your blog with your email list to drive traffic Using social media to bring people to your own platform Creating evergreen content that lives for years "Blogging is still alive and well—you just have to pivot a little and focus on connection." Char also pointed out that building an email list alongside your blog is critical today, since you own your email list (but you don't own your social media following).

So what's the deal with aging? If, according to the scientists, all of our cells are completely replaced and new every 7 years, why then do we physically age? Why do we get old? In this episode, we take an initial dive into aging from frequency perspective, what we're starting to be able to change, and how it can be totally different from what your parents and your grandparents experienced. The Group Frequency Calibration® (GFC) associated with this episode will help you clarify the stories of how you should age and start to gain distance from them. Without clearing these distortion patterns, you fall into the pattern of aging that your lineage and your culture tells you you have to!
