This isn't another 'cut carbs, cut joy' episode. This is the one that makes you rethink everything you thought you knew about food, fatigue, and that resentment you feel when someone says 'just eat clean.' Jess Wilson isn't your typical health coach. She's an expansive, soul-led practitioner guiding ambitious women back to feeling lit up in their bodies, without giving up everything or adding more to their already overflowing plates. She believes your body is your co-creator, not a self-improvement project. And in this conversation? You'll feel that in all the juicyness that flows in our chat. Jess shares her deeply personal journey as a mother of twins with complex health needs, and how that chapter cracked her wide open. What followed wasn't a new diet, but a new definition of well. Inside, we go deep on:
Who was surprised this week with the reveal of the latest in Character Options' action figure range of exclusive Vortex figures?

Soul Roadmap with Dina Cataldo - Tools & Strategies to Design Your Life with Intention
If you feel a wave of overwhelm before your week even begins, you may be surprised to hear that work itself isn't what's causing it. Don't worry — if you've believed work causes your stress, you're not alone. I used to think that too. Most lawyers assume their overwhelm is caused by the files, the emails, the clients, and the court dates. But let's try something: Imagine a file sitting on your co-worker's desk. Does that file stress you out? Does it make you feel overwhelmed? No. Why not? Because the file isn't the problem — it's what you think about that file that creates your stress. Overwhelm doesn't come from the work. It comes from how you're thinking about the work. In this episode of Be a Better Lawyer, I'm showing you how your thoughts program your emotional experience — and how to begin choosing thoughts that create calm, clarity, and focus instead. What You'll Learn: ✅ How you're programming your day-to-day experience with your thoughts alone ✅ The relationship between your thoughts and what you feel ✅ Why overwhelm is a pattern you can break ✅ How to reprogram your mind for more calm and focus Listen in and start reclaiming control over your experience of your law practice and your life one thought at a time. WORK WITH DINA Dina helps lawyers like you take control of your practice, find fulfillment and create a life you love. Work with her to start implementing what you're learning in this podcast. There are two ways to work with her: 1) In her signature program Time Peace for Lawyers™ where you'll focus on taking control of your time, and 2) In private one-on-one coaching where you'll focus on growing your practice with ease.

In this episode, Ceri talks about something every artist faces – getting stuck. That moment where everything grinds to a halt, you feel overwhelmed and unable to make progress. Ceri has helped all kinds of artists overcome this issue, everyone from emerging artists, mid-career artists, even artists with solo shows at major institutions, so she will help you too. Stuck happens to everyone, but staying stuck, that part´s optional. The Artist Mastermind Circle: Ready to stop second-guessing and start building momentum in your art career? Applications are now open for the next Artist Mastermind Circle—a six-month coaching programme for mid-career artists who are serious about growing their confidence, income, and opportunities.Apply by 21 July at https://cerihand.com/artist-mastermind-circle/ and take the next bold step. KEY TAKEAWAYS Getting stuck is normal, part of the normal creative rhythm. Having too many choices, burnout, a perfectionist mindset, being isolated or avoidance are usually at the root of your paralysis. If you feel overwhelmed, break the mountain into pebbles, then take one action at a time. Taking small steps, getting one thing done at a time creates the steady momentum you need to get unstuck. BEST MOMENTS “The key is not to attach shame to being stuck. You're not broken, you're not behind, you're human and you're not alone.” “Stuck is a normal part of the creative rhythm. It's not failure, it's feedback.” “Being stuck is not a character flaw, it's a signpost. It tells you it's time to pause, reassess and adjust. The worst thing you can do is retreat into silence.” “Sketch, one idea, call one curator - progress returned.” “Isolation magnifies stuckness, community dissolves it.” “You don't have to untangle the whole knot at once. Just start pulling on one thread. Movement generates momentum. Momentum generates confidence.” PODCAST HOST BIO With over 30 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events. She sold artworks to major museums and private collectors and commissioned thousands of works across diverse media, from renowned artists such as John Akomfrah, Pipilotti Rist, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and Vito Acconci.

Episode: Sun Moon Lake, Taiwan FAQ Should I use public transportation abroad? Episode: Sun Moon Lake, Taiwan Lesson Learned: Don't schedule everything Day 1 Travel Tip: Trust your gut instincts, if unsure, pivot fast. FAQ Response: Should I use public transportation abroad? Yes, you should try it at the least, but not in rush hour with all of your luggage. One way to test it out is to try it early in the morning, before rush-hour workers arrive, but while it's still light outside. Most of the time, you only need a card to swipe, and you can add money to the card when you need to. Your first care purchase is often at a self-service kiosk, and usually there is English translations here. Go for it and try. Episode: Sun Moon Lake, Taiwan This scenic region reminded me of Lake Tahoe, California. If you are coming you will Arrive in Taoyuan airport and take the train to the Taipei Main Station and take the HSR train to Taichung City which comes about every 30 minutes and takes about an hour. Bus to Sun Moon Lake, which comes at least hourly. The total cost to get there is about $25, and it takes about 3 hours. To drive, you would take about 2.5 hours and save a few dollars.
Trending with Timmerie - Catholic Principals applied to today's experiences.
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.
Home inspections might be optional, but the peace of mind they can bring by saving both buyers and sellers from unexpected expenses and headaches down the line makes them worth doing. As REALTORS®, you know there are times when inspections might slow the process or seem less-than-necessary at first glance, so, it's important to know what red flags to look for and be able to advise your clients about bringing in an inspector. On the latest episode of the REAL TIME podcast, certified home inspector Victoria Ballantine joins host Shaun Majumder to reinforce the value of a home inspection not only when you're buying or selling, but even before you list a home. Why? Well, you'll have to listen to find out. Learn more about Victoria Ballantine and her home inspection process at AllegiantInspections.ca.
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. Tools + Resources for Burned Out Therapists & Creative Helpers If you're feeling stuck, uninspired, or unsure how to move forward, here are two simple ways to begin reconnecting with your Zone of Genius:

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. So don't just ready the bullet points, check out the article. Extras Brian: I had a great time in Munich last week. I a talk at a company event, met with tons of people, and had a great time. 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. Also got started working on a second book on the plane trip back. Michael: Talk Python Clips (e.g. mullet) Embrace your cloud firewall (example).

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.
