The words “diet and exercise” often feel like a trap door into diet culture and the diet mentality. Given that the theme for this year's World Menopause Day is lifestyle medicine, I wanted to explore lifestyle medicine through a behavior-first lens and share compassionate, doable choices that actually fit your life. Starting with real stories—a cholesterol scare that triggered a Google spiral and a breast cancer survivor who felt she “failed” exercise—we'll explore why language carries weight and how reframing goals can lift the pressure without losing the science. I reframe lifestyle medicine as behavior change medicine and share practical ways to support menopause with flexible food patterns, mindful eating for satisfaction, and low-capacity day forecasting. We'll cover:• Why words matter• Behavior change  vs chasing an outcome• Redefining healthy eating • A plant-forward and fiber focused approach• Persistence vs consistency as a food strategy• Mindful eating to boost satisfaction and awareness• Forecasting meals to reduce decision fatigue• Capsule menus and targeting tough meal times• Personalization over perfection in menopause care• Community resources and ongoing supportHead to menopause nutritionist.ca to learn more about my one-to-one and group coaching programs, free resources, and where to get your copy of Eat to Thrive during menopause.Please share this episode with a friend who needs to hear this and a review wherever you listen to podcasts is always appreciated!What did you think of this episode?

Persistence In Prayer Pays Off

Speaking to his disciples, the Lord invites his followers to ask, seek, and knock with persistent effort as they call upon the Holy Spirit. (Lectionary #464) October 9, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

Are you torn between protecting your kids' mental health and preparing them for real-world stress?Most parents feel this tension—and many swing too far toward pressure or protection. In this video, Greg & Rachel share a better path: don't inflict pressure—be the anchor while your kids face it. You'll learn how to build grit through trust, identity, and modeling, so challenge actually strengthens your bond instead of breaking it.What we cover:Identity over willpower: why saying “I'm not a smoker” beats “I'm trying to quit.”Anchor, don't apply pressure: your job is safety + modeling, not manufactured hardship.Results don't lie: how your life becomes the proof your kids can't ignore.Trust first, then stretch: push to the “next rock,” then keep your promise and carry them.Adjust your strategy: when you “get punched in the face,” learn, adapt, iterate.Do hard things yourself: kids spot hypocrisy—lead from the front.Make discomfort enjoyable: turn tough conversations, workouts, and cold plunges into shared wins.Big Idea: Grit grows in connection. When kids know you'll both challenge and carry them, they lean in, try again, and adopt a new identity that sustains lifelong habits.Key Takeaways✅ Be the anchor, not the pressure. Safety + example > force.✅ Model hard things. If you don't, they won't.✅ Identity drives habits. Become the family who does the hard, good things.✅ Keep promises. Stretch to the “next rock,” then carry—that's how trust is built.✅ Iterate, don't implode. When it's not working, change your approach, not your ideals.Chapters00:00 New Beginnings and Reflections03:18 Goal Setting and Identity Transformation03:31 Preparing Kids for Life's Challenges05:02 The Balance of Comfort and Growth05:30 Building Resilience Through Experience08:44 Adapting to Life's Punches09:59 The Journey of Parenting and Education12:19 Embracing Failure in Business and Parenting13:59 The Importance of Adaptability and Learning17:21 Influence Through Results and Personal Example19:32 Living an Extraordinary Life as a Family22:34 Teaching Resilience Through Real-Life Challenges24:58 Iterative Learning and Effective Communication28:39 The Power of Persistence in ParentingMemorable Quotes

This week, Nik sits down with his friend Man Phung for a two-part conversation that's as real as it gets. Man's path through aviation is full of twists, setbacks, and victories—and at the heart of it all is a powerful message: don't quit. Man fell in love with aviation as a kid in Hawaii, saving money as a teenager to earn most of his ratings before he even turned 18. But when the money ran out, he stepped away from flying for nearly two decades, building a successful career in sales and business. Then, during the hiring boom, Man reignited his aviation dream—buying his own airplane, building hours, and grinding through training while balancing family and work life. Along the way, there were engine failures, an off-airport landing, multiple checkride failures, and plenty of moments where it would have been easier to give up. Instead, Man doubled down, gave himself grace, and kept pushing forward. In this conversation, you'll hear: How a discovery flight in Honolulu lit the spark for Man's aviation dream The realities of training as a teenager with limited resources Why he stepped away from flying for 20 years—and what brought him back What it takes to buy your own airplane to build time (including smart financial strategies) The story of surviving an engine failure and off-airport landing Lessons learned from failed checkrides and the power of slowing down Why persistence, patience, and tenacity are the real keys to a long aviation career Man's story is a reminder that aviation isn't just about flying airplanes—it's about resilience. Whether you're a young pilot just starting out or a career-changer chasing your second chance, this episode will inspire you to stick with it, no matter what comes your way.

With over a decade of experience as a licensed speech-language pathologist and advanced training in integrative health, neuroscience, and consciousness studies, Dr. Young has dedicated her career to helping adults overcome invisible complex health challenges. Through her innovative approach, she combines the principles of neuroplasticity with multidimensional healing processes, demonstrating that transformation is possible when the realms of science and soul intersect. Episode Summary: In this enlightening episode of The Chris Voss Show, host Chris Voss engages with Dr. Sarah Young, the visionary behind Neuro Synergy Integrative Health. Delving into Dr. Young's personal journey and professional expertise, the conversation explores her inspiration for founding Neuro Synergy, following a traumatic brain injury before the pandemic. Dr. Young shares her unique methodologies that merge neuroscience and integrative health to address invisible health challenges such as brain fog, burnout, and chronic illnesses. This episode offers listeners insightful advice on maintaining physical and mental well-being through a holistic approach that harmonizes science and spirituality. Focusing on neuroplasticity and its real-life applications, Dr. Young discusses how the brain's capacity to rewire itself can aid in healing from brain injuries and improving mental pathways. She shares personal anecdotes from her journey of recovery and highlights the transformative power of persistence over perfection. The episode also addresses the critical importance of sleep as a strategy for mental and physical health, explaining its role in the brain's self-cleaning process. Designed for everyone from individuals with health challenges to entrepreneurs and leaders, this episode provides actionable insights and resources for achieving sustainable wellness. Key Takeaways: Neuroplasticity enables the brain's ability to reroute and rewire, essential for healing injuries and optimizing mental pathways. Integrating neuroscience with holistic healing approaches can significantly improve conditions like brain fog, burnout, and chronic illnesses. Sleep plays a crucial role in the brain's self-cleaning cycle, necessary for maintaining cognitive function and overall health. Persistence, rather than perfection, is key to personal transformation and health improvement. An individual's sensitivity can be harnessed as a strength, particularly for empathetic and creative professionals, offering deeper insights into well-being and relationships. Notable Quotes: "Transformation is possible when science and the soul work together." "If we come into our healing with the idea that we've labeled ourselves as damaged or broken, then we've kind of given it up right then and there." "Sleep is not a luxury but a necessity… it's the foundation of our health and well-being." "The brain's ability to reroute itself gives us a lot of hope, it's about persistence rather than perfection." "Sensitivity is like an amplifier—viewing it as a strength offers deeper understanding and empathy."

In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, host KJ interviews JB Baker, VP of Marketing and Product Management at ScaleFlux. They dive deep into the challenges and innovations in data storage and memory for AI workloads, discuss the hidden costs of data center inefficiency, and explore how ScaleFlux is disrupting the industry with advanced flash storage solutions. JB also shares insights from his endurance athlete mindset and offers advice for innovators. Key Takeaways: The Data Bottleneck in AI (2:01) The biggest challenge in AI infrastructure is not processing power, but storage and memory that can't keep up with demand. Hidden Costs in Data Centers (7:12) Up to 40% of data center power is spent on cooling, not processing, leading to massive inefficiencies and costs. ScaleFlux’s Disruptive Solution (15:38) ScaleFlux’s custom SSD controllers enable real-time data compression in hardware, doubling performance and reducing costs for enterprises. Endurance Mindset in Business (23:18) JB applies lessons from endurance sports to business, emphasizing persistence and continuous improvement as keys to innovation. Quote of the Show (3:41):"Those cores can process so much more data per second and so much more data per watt. But when the entire infrastructure isn't balanced, you're losing out on these efficiencies. And so there it is, creating hidden costs." — JB Baker Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

But thanks to Paola Antonelli, senior curator in the Department of Architecture and Design, MoMA exhibitions also encompass the role design has played in shaping culture and the human experience. We talk with Paola about how we can look at digital design through a historic lens, some of the most important design movements in the past 100 years, and how the creative process has evolved through these different movements. We also talk about the history of the @ symbol, why craftsmanship is necessary to experimentation, and some of the current challenges in design education. We hope you enjoy this episode which is a part of our series on design history, with upcoming episodes on typography with Jonathan Hoefler, and the history and philosophy of design with Professor Barry Katz. Paola Antonelli joined The Museum of Modern Art in 1994 and is the Museum's Senior Curator in the Department of Architecture and Design, as well as MoMA's founding Director of Research and Development. Her work investigates design in all its forms, from architecture to video games, often expanding its reach to include overlooked objects and practices. An architect trained at the Polytechnic of Milan and a pasionaria of design, Antonelli has been named one of the 25 most incisive design visionaries in the world by TIME magazine, has earned the Design Mind Smithsonian Institution's National Design Award, has been inducted in the US Art Directors Club Hall of Fame, and has received the AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Artists,) the London Design Medal, and the German Design Award, among other accolades.

She was undeterred by his reputation and he underestimated her persistence. Today, we are talking about the parable of the widow and the unjust judge. Jesus wanted his audience to understand the value of persistence in prayer.

Birthdays can be rough for many people, but they can be extra difficult for trans people pre-transition... because why is a waking death worth celebrating? We discuss how tough they were, and how discombobulating it was during transition when that all started to change.

What if Walt Disney's real magic wasn't perfection…but persistence?   In this episode, Beth takes you behind the myths of creative genius to explore how Disney built through failure, loss, and uncertainty—and why those moments became the foundation for his greatest successes. From bankruptcy to Mickey, from “Disney's Folly” to Disneyland, Walt's story reminds us that the impossible often starts in the middle of adversity. Beth connects Disney's journey with her own: building Casual Space, launching STORIES of Space, and saying “yes” to dreams long before things felt easy or certain. This week, discover why you don't have to wait for the perfect time to start. You can lay a foundation—even in the hardest seasons—that carries you (and others!) to new heights. Because sometimes, the story that feels small today becomes the launchpad for something extraordinary.

She offers powerful insights into balancing work and family life, finding joy in simple experiences like visiting playgrounds and local grocery stores, and instilling a spirit of adventure in her child.This conversation is packed with travel inspiration, career lessons, and practical advice for content creators, adventurers, and dreamers alike.

What comes after vibe coding? Maybe vibe researching.OpenAI's Chief Scientist, Jakub Pachocki, and Chief Research Officer, Mark Chen, join a16z general partners Anjney Midha and Sarah Wang to go deep on GPT-5—how they fused fast replies with long-horizon reasoning, how they measure progress once benchmarks saturate, and why reinforcement learning keeps surprising skeptics.They explore agentic systems (and their stability tradeoffs), coding models that change how software gets made, and the bigger bet: an automated researcher that can generate new ideas with real economic impact. Plus: how they prioritize compute, hire “cave-dweller” talent, protect fundamental research inside a product company, and keep pace without chasing every shiny demo. Timecodes: 0:00  Introduction & Goals of Automated Researcher0:43  The Evolution of Reasoning in AI1:46  Evaluations: From Benchmarks to Real-World Impact5:15  Surprising Capabilities of GPT-56:56  The Research Roadmap: Next 1, 2, 5 Years7:46  Long-Horizon Agency & Model Memory9:44  Reasoning in Open-Ended Domains11:18  The Role and Progress of Reinforcement Learning13:14  Reward Modeling & Best Practices14:21  The New Codex: Real-World Coding16:20  AI vs. Human Coding: The New Default20:07  What Makes a Great Researcher?21:14  Persistence, Conviction, and Problem Selection26:00  Building and Sustaining a Winning Research Culture31:45  Balancing Product and Fundamental Research39:00  The Importance of Compute and Physical Constraints45:50  Maintaining Speed and Learning at Scale47:18  Trust and Collaboration at OpenAI Resources: Find Jakub on X: https://x.com/merettmFind Mark on X: https://x.com/markchen90Find Sarah on X: https://x.com/sarahdingwangFind Anjney on X: https://x.com/AnjneyMidha Stay Updated: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: https://x.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zListen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYXListen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Worksheet: Uncovering Your SuperpowersWhat if you had superpowers you didn't even know existed? What if the very qualities that could transform your recovery have been hiding inside you all along?In this powerful episode, hosts Duane and Eric Osterlind flip the script on traditional recovery thinking. Instead of endlessly focusing on what's broken, they show you how to uncover what's strong. Using tools from positive psychology, they guide you through a process of discovering your hidden character strengths – those amazing qualities that addiction and trauma may have buried but never destroyed.If you've ever looked in the mirror and only seen an addict, a failure, or someone who's fundamentally flawed, this episode is for you. The hosts understand that feeling of being defined entirely by your struggles. They know what it's like when your identity feels completely wrapped up in setbacks and mistakes.But here's the truth they want you to know: You are not broken. You have incredible strengths that are just waiting to be rediscovered.The episode introduces you to groundbreaking research by Dr. Martin Seligman and Dr. Christopher Peterson, who identified 24 character strengths that every person possesses. These aren't made-up feel-good concepts – they're scientifically proven traits like bravery, creativity, kindness, perseverance, and hope that exist in all of us to varying degrees.The research is clear: when people identify their top strengths and find new ways to use them daily, they experience lasting increases in happiness and decreases in depression. This isn't just positive thinking – it's an evidence-based path to wellness.During the episode, you'll participate in a real-time exercise to identify one of your own strengths. The hosts walk you through remembering a time when you overcame a challenge, then help you pinpoint the inner quality that made it possible. Was it courage? Creativity? Persistence? Kindness?But identifying your strength is just the beginning. The real magic happens when you consciously use these strengths in new ways. The hosts provide concrete examples: if your strength is curiosity, spend 15 minutes learning something new. If it's kindness, buy coffee for the person behind you in line. If it's bravery, speak up in that meeting where you usually stay quiet.This approach fundamentally changes how you see yourself. Instead of being someone who needs to fix all their broken parts, you become someone who can build on their existing strengths. You shift from asking "What's wrong with me?" to "What's strong with me?"The hosts are careful to point out this isn't about ignoring challenges or pretending weaknesses don't exist. It's about building up your strengths so you have a solid foundation from which to face difficulties. Both sides of the coin are true – you have challenges AND you have incredible strengths.People in long-term recovery who tap into their strengths become amazingly creative, strong, and resilient. When they start relying on these positive characteristics, transformation happens.This episode includes practical action steps you can take right now, plus access to a free worksheet that guides you through identifying your strengths and planning specific ways to use them. It's designed to help you live the life you want to live in recovery.If you're tired of focusing only on what's wrong and ready to start building on what's right, this episode offers a powerful new perspective. Your strengths have been there all along – it's time to uncover them and put them to work.Key TopicsThe problem with deficit-focused thinking – why constantly focusing on flaws keeps you stuckIntroduction to positive psychology – the science of what makes life worth livingThe 24 universal character strengths – research-backed traits everyone possessesReal-time strength identification exercise – discovering your own superpowers through reflectionPractical implementation strategies – specific ways to use your strengths in daily lifeShifting self-perception – moving from "what's wrong with me" to "what's strong with me"Building on strengths vs. fixing weaknesses – a balanced approach to personal growthStep 4: Timestamp List (7 Key Moments)[00:01:00] - The hidden superpower thought experiment and why we focus on defects instead of strengths[00:03:00] - The narrative of deficits: how seeing yourself as fundamentally flawed keeps you stuck[00:05:00] - Introduction to positive psychology and the 24 universal character strengths research[00:07:00] - Real-life examples of people in recovery tapping into their strengths[00:08:00] - Interactive exercise: identifying your own strength through proud moment reflection[00:09:00] - Taking action: specific ways to use your identified strength this week[00:11:00] - How focusing on strengths fundamentally changes your self-perceptionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
