In this episode of the Uploft Interior Design Podcast, I tackle a design question from Taunya in Fountain, Colorado, who wants to create a European cottage feel in her home. Drawing from my own experiences living in a quaint French cottage during high school, I share essential elements like exposed beams, rustic wood furnishings, and cozy decor to help her achieve that charming aesthetic. I also discuss the intriguing true crime documentary on Hulu, "Death in Apartment 603: What Happened to Ellen Greenberg," highlighting the mysterious circumstances surrounding her death and the inconsistencies in the investigation. I invite listeners to share their thoughts on both design and true crime, and I look forward to hearing about your own journeys!

We dig into how these fields come together to help people dealing with concussions, migraines, and chronic pain — and why traditional approaches often fall short.Dr. Wolf walks us through the science behind her methods, including how acupuncture, vestibular work, and eye movement assessments can reveal what's really going on in the brain after an injury. We also talk about her new book, The Concussion Breakthrough, and how it's helping patients who've been struggling with long-term symptoms finally find a path forward.If you want a deeper understanding of how the brain heals — and how functional neurology can help you or someone you know recover faster and more completely — you'll get a ton out of this conversation.Sponsors:Beyond Power Voltra 1: https://www.beyond-power.com/michael13Tecton Ketone Esters: https://tectonketones.comAvailable now:Grab a copy of the Triphasic Training II book I co-wrote with Cal Deitz here.Episode Chapters:00:46 Exploring Functional Neurology01:23 Concussions and Eye Movements02:09 Dr. Wolf's Book and Newsletter02:42 Starting the Conversation02:49 Dr. Wolf's Lecture at Northwestern03:40 Better PowerPoint Presentation Tips04:29 Challenges of Creating New Talks05:57 AI in Research and Presentation07:22 Cadaver Lab Experience in Toronto09:07 Acupuncture and Anatomical Research09:54 History and Acceptance of Chinese Medicine11:47 Skepticism and Evidence in Acupuncture13:41 Research Design Challenges17:18 Innovative Acupuncture Studies21:34 Psychedelics and Research23:15 Dr. Wolf's Journey into Acupuncture27:08 Favorite Herbs and Their Benefits29:16 Introduction to Functional Neurology33:18 Case Studies and Clinical Insights35:59 Sensory Tricks for Migraines38:13 Mechanisms Behind Sensory Tricks39:32 Light Sensitivity and the Midbrain40:45 Personal Experience with a Health App41:31 Understanding Light Sensitivity42:59 Case Study: Pupil Response and Eye Pain44:09 Eye Movements & Concussion Diagnosis47:06 Gaze Stability and Neurological Insights52:19 The Concussion Breakthrough Book55:45 Complex Cases in Functional Neurology01:04:27 Visual + Vestibular Integration01:14:55 Final Thoughts and Resources Flex Diet Podcasts You May Enjoy: Episode 132: The Effects of Creatine Supplements on Brain Function, Concussion, and Sports Performance with Dr Eric RawsonYouTube: https://youtu.be/g7f8yHNlawU Episode 311: Maximizing Athletic Performance with Neurology: Insights from Dr. Dylan SeeleyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnuYQ-GJ6toConnect with Dr Wolf:The Concussion Breakthrough: https://www.amazon.com/Concussion-Breakthrough-Discover-Missing-Recovery/dp/B0FDBLVDVHWebsite: https://www.acupunctureneurology.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ayla_wolf354Get In Touch with Dr Mike:Instagram: DrmiketnelsonYouTube: @flexdietcertEmail: Miketnelson.com/contact-us

#narcissisticparent #narcissisticmanipulation #maternalnarcissism Has your narcissistic mother labelled you too sensitive? Has she made it impossible for you to express your emotions growing up? You are not alone in this. My mother did that with me too. Do you now cry at movies what seems like too much? Do you feel weird about how much a book, or music will move you? In this episode I explain what happens when you are unsafe to process emotions in childhood with a narcissistic mother, how your system finds a safer way to let emotions surface and the importance of creativity and community in all of this. And I share a personal experience of all of this I had recently which I'm so grateful for and which is an example of this.

What if the most powerful skill you could develop as a designer has nothing to do with Figma or AI? In this episode, we explore why writing is the ultimate meta-skill—sharpening your thinking, influencing decisions, and accelerating your career in unexpected ways.Is writing the most underrated design skill of all time?We spend a lot of time talking about design skills like prototyping, facilitation, and AI tools. But what if the skill that strengthens all of those is the one designers most often ignore?In this episode, I sit down with Thijs Kraan, a designer-turned-growth partner, who makes the case that writing is the ultimate meta-skill. For Thijs, writing every day didn't just sharpen his thinking; it multiplied his impact. From running a 30-day challenge to publishing daily posts, writing became the catalyst for everything else in his career.We talk about the difference between business writing, expert writing, and copywriting, why clear writing equals clear thinking, and how documentation can protect your career when tough decisions come back months later. We also tackle the elephant in the room: AI. Should you let ChatGPT do your writing, or will that shortcut make you worse in the long run?Whether you're trying to influence stakeholders, sharpen your thinking, or just get better at your day-to-day communication, this conversation will show you why writing might just be the most important design skill you haven't been practicing.Tune in and see why it's time to pick up the pen (or keyboard).Topics:• 02:45 – The Importance of Writing in UX Design• 04:19 – Thijs Kron's Journey: From Web Development to Writing• 06:05 – The Power of Writing in Design Thinking• 06:31 – Building a Writing Habit• 15:06 – Writing as a Meta Skill• 20:55 – Different Types of Writing for Designers• 22:33 – The Role of Copywriting in Design• 24:36 – Writing as a Career Multiplier• 28:38 – The Impact of AI on Writing• 30:19 – Balancing AI and Human Thinking• 31:35 – Personal Experience with AI in Writing• 32:43 – Effective Uses of AI for Writing• 34:54 – The Risks of Over-Reliance on AI• 36:13 – Practical Tips for Writing and ThinkingHelpful Links:• Connect with Thijs on LinkedIn—Thanks for listening!

In this podcast episode, Kurt Francom and Dan Duckworth discuss the importance of addressing community tragedies within Latter-day Saint congregations. They explore how leaders can create spaces for healing and connection during difficult times, emphasizing the role of vulnerability and unity in fostering a supportive church environment. Dan Duckworth speaks, teaches, and writes on leadership, power, and systemic change. His forthcoming book, The Leader in Chains (spring 2026), challenges conventional ideas and calls for a radical rethinking of leadership—and how it is developed. Links Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Overview Perception of Community Needs: Leaders should be attuned to the emotional climate of their congregations, recognizing when community tragedies impact members. This awareness can guide appropriate responses. Risk of Vulnerability: Addressing difficult topics in church settings can feel risky, but it is essential for fostering genuine connections and healing. Leaders should embrace this risk to create a supportive environment. Purpose of Church: The church serves not only as a place for learning doctrine but also as a community for healing and support. Engaging in open discussions about current events can strengthen faith and unity. Creating Safe Spaces: Leaders can facilitate discussions that allow members to express their feelings and experiences, promoting emotional processing and community bonding. Driving the Hope Train: Leaders should focus on instilling hope and directing conversations toward Christ's teachings, using scriptural stories to provide comfort and guidance during challenging times. Leadership Applications Fostering Open Dialogue: Leaders can initiate conversations about current events or tragedies, encouraging members to share their feelings and experiences. This can be done through structured discussions or informal check-ins. Building Trust and Safety: By consistently creating a culture of vulnerability and support, leaders can ensure that members feel safe to express their emotions and seek help when needed. Integrating Healing into Meetings: Leaders can incorporate discussions of community challenges into regular meetings, ensuring that spiritual teachings are connected to real-life experiences, thus reinforcing the church's role as a healing community.

Dr. Rossi speaks with a colleague about an experience this colleague had at the Vigil for the Annunciation.

 "I come out of this with a sense of humor, and also some toxic skills. If there's anybody out there who kind of identifies here, these skills served you when you were young. So we don't want to shame those. Like, why am I this way? Why do I respond this way? Through the therapy I've been through, I would say you have to thank that part of you. For enabling you to survive. Because without my anger, I wouldn't have survived without the ability to fight. I think self-compassion is usually the answer for sustaining long-term change where you say, you know what, thank you for that."00:00 Walking on Eggshells :The Illusion of Normalcy04:14 Hank's Childhood: A Glimpse into Family Struggles07:48 Coping Mechanisms and Survival Skills25:22 Overcoming the Past: Becoming a Change Agent31:53 Scriptural Insights on Generational Trauma43:55 The Importance of Compassion49:52 Understanding Personal Spiritual Evidence01:00:33 Final ThoughtsSeptember 5th & 6th COME BACK TO CHRIST EVENT Tickets can be purchased at: https://www.comebackpodcast.org/come-back-to-christ-event-september-5-6-utah-valley-convention-center-provo-ut-3/Come Back to Christ Event Sponsors: https://templeboundsaints.org/https://www.dfcu.com/https://www.latterdaymatchmaker.com/https://www.matthewbraidleypianos.com/https://mikesautoshack.com/Memor Jewelry code COMEBACK for 10% off https://memorjewelry.com Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.comFor inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell
