Bad moods run rampant in unusual seasons, and for many of you, summer definitely is. Kids are home, temperatures and tempers are high, proximity is constant, and bad moods are inevitable. This episode is definitely not kid-centric because bad moods transcend kids, but many of you will be glad to have this episode as it relates to your occasionally whiny offspring. Regardless, this episode is here to help you navigate bad moods and stay connected to the people you love, no matter their age.

Productrice et entrepreneuse, Sarah Lelouch bouscule les lignes du cinéma français. Invitée du podcast DeepTechs de Challenges réalisé en partenariat avec Mascaret, elle plaide pour une hybridation assumée entre création artistique et technologies de rupture : Web3, blockchain et surtout intelligence artificielle. Fondatrice de la société de production Watch'Us, elle a toujours eu à cœur de démocratiser les formats, en s'attaquant dès 2003 à des sujets comme le rap avec l'émission Planète Rap. Aujourd'hui, elle poursuit cette démarche en lançant ClapAction, une plateforme collaborative qui permet au grand public de proposer et cofinancer des projets cinématographiques, grâce à la blockchain. À la clef : certification des idées et traçabilité des droits.L'IA, elle l'utilise déjà dans ses workflows, notamment pour trier des centaines de scénarios. « Un outil de démocratisation », dit-elle, qui peut permettre à des talents éloignés du sérail de faire émerger leurs projets. Mais l'IA bouleverse aussi les équilibres du secteur : elle inquiète les artistes, doubleurs ou scénaristes, dont les métiers sont menacés. D'où la nécessité, selon elle, de « rassurer et acculturer » les créateurs.À l'initiative du World AI Film Festival et du techCannes, un réseau qui fait dialoguer cinéma et start-up tech, elle milite pour une IA souveraine, « entraînée sur des œuvres européennes », et appelle à une régulation concertée. Le mot d'ordre ? Anticiper plutôt que subir. « L'IA ne remplace pas le talent, elle l'augmente », conclut-elle. À condition de ne pas rater le train. Hébergé par Acast.

Schiefes Pferd?! So geht Gerdaerichtung: Seitengänge wie Schulterherein, Travers oder Renvers setzen bereits einiges voraus: Längsbiegung Erste Tragfähigkeit Durchlässigkeit Laut klassisch deutscher Reitlehre beginnt Ausbildung aber ganz woanders - nämlich mit: Zwanglosigkeit, Takt, Losgelassenheit & Anlehnung! Erst wenn das Pferd in einem gleichmäßigen Takt läuft, den Rücken loslässt, sich an die Hand heran dehnt und sein natürliches Gleichgewicht findet, kann eine reelle, gleichmäßige Anlehnung entstehen. Und mit ihr: die erste Geraderichtung. Wer zu früh in die Seitengänge geht, verlangt Dinge, die das Pferd noch gar nicht leisten kann – und wundert sich dann über Anspannung, Herausheben und Überlastung. Geraderichtung ist das Ergebnis korrekter Grundausbildung. Und die beginnt nicht beim Schulterherein – sondern bei deinem Ausbildungsverständnis. In der heutigen Podcastfolge entlarven wir diesen Irrtum und zeigen, dir wir du deinem Pferd bereits durch Basisarbeit aus der Schiefe heraus helfen kannst! Genau diese Themen sind übrigens auch ein fester Bestandteil der Rideucation® PFERDE-Ausbildung. Dort lernst du, wie du dein Pferd Schritt für Schritt gesund und tragfähig ausbildest – mit einem klaren Plan, fundiertem Wissen und ganz viel Herz. Und wenn du dir unsicher bist, ob das der richtige Weg für dich ist, dann buch dir gerne ein kostenloses und unverbindliches Info-Gespräch. Übrigens: Bei Rideucation findest du noch viele weitere Ausbildungen – je nachdem, ob du deinen Sitz verbessern, dein Pferd selbst ausbilden oder sogar als Trainer:in tätig werden möchtest.
In dieser Folge ist alles dabei – von Chaos bis Klartext!

In this week's episode Natalie is joined by registered Menopause Nutritionist & Author Emma Bardwell to talk all about her brand new book The 30g Plan and how our nutritional needs change as we head towards mid life. From slower digestion to decreasing muscle mass Emma unpacks the varying transitions our bodies face as we enter perimenopause and menopause and how our diet can have a significant impact on the intensity of symptoms. Emma details the need for more protein and fibre as we age and notes how her own experience with entering perimenopause and the concerns her patients expressed inspired her to create her brand new book The 30g Plan. Explaining that, in an age of misinformation and click bait she felt women entering midlife needed a resource that was scientifically backed whilst being easy to follow when it came to understanding their nutritional needs. During the conversation Emma also notes how our hormonal changes impact digestion and how it is vital that we pay attention to this often taboo area of our health in order to maintain optimum wellbeing as we begin to experience perimenopause, highlighting that many women can suffer with bloating and other uncomfortable symptoms that lead to lack of confidence and decreased vitality. In a highly informative part of the chat Emma gives her verdict on the use of supplements to boost overall wellness alongside helpful advice on getting the best nutrition on a budget. Listen in for a dynamic, informative chat on food, nutrition and wellbeing with one of the UK's most trusted experts.

Pendant des décennies, on a cru connaître notre système solaire. Huit planètes, quelques lunes, des astéroïdes, et au-delà, le vide. Mais depuis plusieurs années, les astronomes observent des comportements étranges aux confins du système solaire. Certains objets transneptuniens suivent des orbites anormales, comme s'ils étaient influencés par une force invisible. Une hypothèse revient alors avec insistance : celle de la Planète 9. Une planète massive, glacée, encore jamais observée, qui pourrait se cacher bien au-delà de Neptune, dans les zones les plus sombres du système solaire. Dans cette enquête, on explore l'histoire de cette théorie, les preuves indirectes qui la soutiennent, les anomalies gravitationnelles, les objets comme Sedna ou 2012 VP113, et surtout, les dernières découvertes qui relancent la piste d'un monde inconnu. Peut-on vraiment passer à côté d'une planète entière ? Jusqu'où s'étend réellement notre système solaire ? Et si la Planète 9 était bien réelle, que nous dit-elle sur la formation et l'évolution de notre voisinage cosmique ?

Summer is here—and while kids are counting down the days until school's out, parents and grandparents might be counting something else: the cost.The good news? Some of the best family memories don't require a big budget. In fact, many of them are completely free. With a little creativity and intention, you can enjoy a summer that builds connection and joy without adding financial stress. Here are ten fun, meaningful, and no-cost activities to try this season.1. Visit Your Local LibraryLibraries today are vibrant community hubs, not just quiet places for books. Many offer summer reading programs, puppet shows, craft days, and even LEGO clubs. It's a screen-free space that fosters imagination and learning—and it won't cost a dime.2. Host a Themed Movie NightMovie nights are a classic, but turning them into themed events can make them feel extra special. Dress up like your favorite characters, make popcorn at home, and stream free movies from your library or other no-cost platforms. It's cozy, creative, and fun for all ages.3. Check Out Community EventsMany cities and towns host free concerts, movie nights, festivals, or farmers' markets during the summer. These events offer fun, fellowship, and a chance to connect with your community.4. Camp in Your BackyardYou don't need to travel far to enjoy the great outdoors. Set up a tent in your yard, roast marshmallows, and tell stories under the stars. Take time to reflect on God's handiwork with your kids. Psalm 8:3–4 reminds us how the majesty of creation points us to the Creator who cares for us deeply.5. Host a Yard SaleLet your kids gather items, make signs, and manage a mini storefront. It's not only a great way to declutter—it also teaches stewardship, contentment, and even generosity. If your kids choose to give a portion of the proceeds to someone in need, you're planting seeds of compassion early.6. Try GeocachingIf your family enjoys treasure hunts or geocaching, it's a great way to explore the outdoors. All you need is a smartphone and a free app to search for hidden “caches” in your area. It's adventurous, educational, and completely free.7. Plan a Neighborhood Game DayBring back the joy of simple play. Organize a kickball game, water balloon fight, or capture the flag in your neighborhood. Partner with other families to rotate homes and activities—it's a no-cost way to foster community and make memories that stick.8. Make a Summer Bucket ListSit down as a family and dream up a list of simple activities—things like catching fireflies, building a fort, or learning a new skill. Writing them down and checking them off together adds a sense of excitement and shared accomplishment.9. Explore NatureNature is one of God's most generous gifts. Visit local parks, walk trails, or bike together through a nearby preserve. Psalm 19:1 reminds us, “The heavens declare the glory of God.” Whether it's birdsong or wildflowers, creation invites us to slow down and worship.10. Serve TogetherServing others is one of the most meaningful things a family can do. Volunteer at a local shelter, visit a nursing home, or make cookies for your neighbors. Jesus said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35). A summer of service can have an eternal impact.The Riches of a Simple SummerIt's easy to believe that a fun summer must come with a hefty price tag, but God often surprises us with joy in the simplest things. Sunshine, laughter, love, and time together are among His most generous gifts—and they're completely free.So, as you make your summer plans, don't focus on what you can spend. Instead, focus on how you can wisely steward the time and relationships God has given you. After all, the best summer memories are built with presence, not purchases.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm looking into annuities, and I know nothing about the risks. When they say 6% for three years, is that rate guaranteed to remain locked in? I looked up the rating, and it's a B++ rating by AM Best.I have a long-term insurance policy from Genworth that started in 1999. The premiums have increased dramatically from $1,500 to $11,000 annually. We're in our early 80s and nearing the time to use the policy. The company wants us to sell, but we have a clause that stops premium payments if one of us dies. I'm unsure whether to keep the policy. I'm 60 years old and have worked at the same job for 40 years. I've become chemically sensitive to the product we manufacture and can no longer work with it. I'm basically at retirement, with all bills paid and a house paid off. I have $500,000 saved in CDs, $60,000 in the bank, and I'm thinking of putting half of the $500,000 in a lifetime mutual fund. Is that a wise decision?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money (Pre-Order)Look At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Summary: In this episode of Be a Smarter Homeowner, Beth Dodson and John Bodrozic tackle the world of home remodeling — and how Homeowner AI is making it easier, smarter, and far less overwhelming. From upgrading kitchens to redoing landscaping, remodeling is a massive industry filled with major decisions about budget, materials, and scope. Beth and John break down remodeling projects into four main categories: Big Systems (roofs, windows, HVAC) Lifestyle Upgrades (kitchen and bathroom remodels) Minor Projects (new flooring, painting, appliances) Outdoor Projects (landscaping, patios, outdoor kitchens) They explore the pros and cons of DIY vs hiring a contractor, and why being fully informed about your material and labor costs before starting is absolutely essential. Lack of preparation can easily cause delays, budget overruns, and even resentment over the final results. Enter HomeZada's Homeowner AI — a powerful tool that helps homeowners: Build detailed project plans Estimate realistic budgets in minutes Research material types and costs Plan projects smarter to avoid costly surprises John and Beth show how AI streamlines decision-making, saves time, and helps homeowners have clearer, more productive conversations with contractors — leading to better results and less stress. Their key takeaway: When you plan ahead with the right tools, you remodel smarter, stay on budget, and actually enjoy the process. Learn more about Homeowner AI at www.homezada.com!

Stop what you're doing and read this
The gospel is not God's "plan B," but was God's plan before the foundation of the world to reveal his glory and save his people. Pastor Jeremy Treat continues our series through Acts with a sermon from Acts 2:22-41.
What if the real solution to homelessness isn't more shelters—but a complete rethink of how we treat the crisis? Joining Gregg to talk about it is Ron Book—Lawyer, Lobbyist, Nobel Peace Prize nominee & Chairman of the Miami-Dade Homeless Trust. This incredible organization has created what is considered the “National Best Practice Model” for ending homelessness. In this episode of Cut to the Chase, Ron gives us some “compassionate tough love” as he reveals how Miami-Dade went from over 8,000 people living on the streets to less than 900. He breaks down Miami-Dade's approach which includes focusing on long-term housing solutions, running the Trust like a business, and never being afraid to own mistakes, iterate, and try new approaches. Tune in to learn the realities of affordable housing in America, myths around encampments and panhandling, and the key behind Miami's success in reducing houselessness. What you'll learn in this episode: Inside Miami's homelessness model: A business-like approach with zero debt, full audits, and reinvested rent The housing-first reality behind homelessness—and why Miami turns hotels and federal land into homes, not shelters Why street encampments and panhandling aren't compassion—they're barriers to real recovery and lasting change “The Lazarus Project”: The organization that sends medical teams to the streets to connect the chronically homeless with long-term care Why tiny homes aren't a gimmick—when done right, they're a scalable, dignified solution with real impact The secret to Miami's success: $47 million in dedicated annual funding, strong leadership, and a disciplined plan Key Takeaways: End Homelessness, Don't Maintain It: Real change means moving people off the streets—not enabling sidewalk survival with panhandling and handouts. Treat Homelessness Like a Business: Track outcomes, audit every dollar, and require buy-in from residents—accountability drives lasting solutions. Repurpose What Exists: Transform hotels, federal land, and underused spaces into scalable housing—from tiny homes to transitional facilities. Fund Solutions, Not Symptoms: A dedicated food and beverage tax powers Miami-Dade's long-term success—proving the value of steady funding. Build with a Plan, Not Politics: Success comes from a clear strategy, strong leadership, and community buy-in—not short-term fixes.

As coaches, we've all experienced the moment when everything feels aligned–your offer is solid, your webinar is ready to sell, a client is about to sign–and then… it doesn't happen. No sign-ups, no clients, nothing. We've all been here, right? It's a big letdown, and it's often difficult not to take the defeat personally. However, this moment does not have to define you or your coaching business. Overcoming business challenges isn't easy, but it's possible when you use these moments as tools for continued growth instead of allowing it to be a setback. This potential is what we will explore today. What did you do that last time something didn't work out like you had anticipated? Did you begin to question yourself, your decisions, or even your mission? Did you panic and go into the frantic action of problem-solving? Did you emotionally fall apart? All of these are common responses to perceived failure–and they're all completely normal. Why? Because we're human. We have nervous systems that cause us to have these responses. When you begin to understand our reactions from a compassionate, holistic perspective, you reclaim your power. Building awareness around these patterns allows you to offer yourself a more supportive path of greater choice when overcoming business challenges.This space of letdown exists for everybody–and in this episode, we're talking about it as a space of choice and curiosity.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Ashley Quamme, a licensed marriage and family therapist and the founder of Beyond the Plan. Ashley is someone I've admired for a long time, and this conversation is packed with powerful insights into the intersection of psychology, relationships, and personal finance. Ashley shares her unique journey—from launching a private therapy practice focused on couples, to navigating military life as a spouse, to eventually blending her clinical background with the world of financial planning. We explored what financial therapy really means and how deeply emotional and relational our financial decisions truly are. Ashley's passion for helping people understand the “why” behind their money behaviors is infectious, and her ability to make that practical for both advisors and clients alike is a real gift. We also talked about how Ashley collaborates with financial advisors as a Chief Financial Behavior Officer and what it means to create emotionally safe planning spaces. I loved her thoughts on how validation, curiosity, and even open-ended questions can transform client meetings. Whether you're a financial professional or someone navigating your own money story, Ashley's insights are so relevant. Ashley's wisdom and vulnerability in this episode are incredibly encouraging. She also reminds us that you don't need to be a therapist to be therapeutic. If you care deeply about the people you serve, there are ways to show up with empathy, insight, and skill—even when money is emotional. https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashley-quamme/ https://www.beyondthefp.com/ https://www.planningandbeyond.com/

So excited and honored to get to interview My fertility doctor, Dr. Catha Fisher. She knows the ins and outs of my fertility journey well and is here to talk about all of it. We get into where we're at with my surrogacy process, and she shares her perspective as both my doctor and a compassionate witness to so many women's difficult journeys. We hear many stories of women navigating fertility challenges, but rarely do we hear the honest, emotional perspective of the doctors who walk alongside them through it all. I ask Dr. Fisher your questions, ones we were never taught to ask. When is the ideal time to freeze your eggs, at what point should you start looking into IVF, the real cost of IVF, the costs of surrogacy, unexplained fertility, and a lot more. Dr. Fisher shares what she remembers from working with me, and what every woman should know about her fertility, whether she's trying to conceive or simply thinking about the future. This is a topic that is obviously personal to me and so many others, and I appreciate Dr. Fisher for doing this so so much! My subscription service is now live!

Marla Christensen, AMFT, APCC, and Tony Overbay, LMFT, delve into Ethan Kross's "Shift: Managing Your Emotions So They Don't Manage You" for another installment of the "Virtual Couch Book Club." They explore emotional awareness, sensory shifts, and cultural influences on emotional well-being. Practical techniques, such as distant self-talk and the Whoop framework (Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan), are covered, offering listeners actionable strategies for emotional management. Tony opens the episode by explaining how common parental phrases, such as "it's not a big deal" or "just don't worry about it," can unintentionally hinder emotional expression in adulthood, setting the stage for struggles with managing emotions later in life. This discussion offers valuable insights for individuals seeking to understand better and manage their emotions. 00:00 A Touching Parenting Moment 02:22 Introduction to the Virtual Couch 02:31 Book Club: Managing Emotions 03:16 The Importance of Emotional Awareness 03:37 Understanding Emotional Language 04:44 The Disconnect from Emotions 06:01 Introducing Dr. Ethan Cross's 'Shift' 06:23 Meet Marla Christiansen 07:33 Exploring Emotional Concepts from 'Shift' 07:46 The Complexity of Emotions 08:05 Practical Tools for Emotional Management 08:20 The Power of Distanced Self-Talk 08:37 External Influences on Emotions 09:02 Body Awareness and Emotions 09:12 Navigating Difficult Emotions 09:24 Impact of Social Media and Cultural Factors 09:37 Appreciating Emotions as Information 10:18 Book Club Discussion: 'Shift' by Dr. Ethan Cross 10:30 Starting the Interview with Marla Christensen 11:24 Diving into Emotional Regulation 11:43 Book Club Insights and Personal Reflections 22:58 The Law of Least Work 25:01 Exploring Low-Cost Emotional Shifts 25:40 Understanding Attention and Perspective 26:10 Navigating Emotional Avoidance and Approach 27:27 The Power of Reframing 29:29 Distanced Self-Talk: A Unique Approach 31:07 Shifting Emotions Through Environment 33:44 The Role of Relationships in Emotional Shifts 37:24 Cultural Influences on Emotions 39:37 The Impact of Comparison 42:37 Practical Tools for Emotional Mastery 44:06 Final Thoughts and Resources
In this episode, I discuss the history of the controversial wartime power that Trump has invoked to justify his mass deportations and the importance of the inalienable rights of due process and habeas corpus, granted by the constitution to all persons, that he is seeking to strip away. I encourage you to visit 5calls.org and find their page to help you demand that this administration Bring Abrego Garcia Home and Stop Trump's Plan to Traffic Civilians to a Foreign Gulag, as well as their pages to Protest the Unlawful Deportation of Venezuelan Immigrants to El Salvador and demand that your governor Deny Trump's Police State Tactics for Deportations. But more than this, get out to a protest in your area if you can. On June 14th, massive No Kings protests are being planned all over the country to coincide with Trump's birthday celebration.

If traditional planning systems have ever left you feeling pressured or burnt out, this episode offers a different approach. I share how I shifted from chasing productivity to building a planning practice that feels grounding, flexible, and deeply personal. Through my own story of burnout and disconnection, I explain how planning became a tool for reflection and alignment—not just getting more done. It's what led me to create Plan, Go Plan Your Year, a course designed to help you build a system that fits your actual life. You'll hear how small rituals, clear vision, and adaptable routines can bring more presence and peace to your days. If you're ready to feel more connected to your goals (without the overwhelm), this episode is for you. Shop: Join the Plan Goal Plan Your Year.

It is summer road trip season so it is time to recap some of our best road trip tips from preparing, planning, packing, and more. Plus, we share some of our favorite road trips. Episode Highlights Before you head out on a road trip, make sure your car has been serviced recently and check the tires to make sure the pressure is correct. You may also want to top off your fluids and use the bug windshield washer fluid. Bring a go-to kit with wipes, sanitizer, tissues, lip balm, moisturizer, sun screen, and eye drops. Also bring a couple of extra baggies or ziploc bags. Bring a trash bag for the front and back (or for each kid) and empty the trash at each stop. Bring a small cooler and ice pack that you can refreeze each night for left overs and snacks. Have a specific spot for your snacks that can be refilled when needed. Use a car freshener or car air purifier to help keep food smells away. You may want to consider a AAA membership and bring your card with you. For longer road trips, consider bringing a carry on bag with a duffle bag instead of a larger checked bag. Use a duffle bag to transport what you need in and out each night. It is good to have one overnight bag for toiletries and pajamas for everyone that always goes in. Bring a laundry bag that you can put your dirty clothes in each day in your car or larger suitcase. Plan an overnight stay at a place that has laundry facilities. When choosing where to stay, consider staying just off the highway where you are more likely to find a chain hotel that has free breakfast and free parking (and laundry facilities). Plus it is easy to get on and off the highway. Some of the chains like Best Western have summer promotions for multiple stays. Some apps to have are Gas Buddy, Road Trippers, and of course Google or Apple Maps. Google Maps is also good at showing you how busy attractions are at different times of the day. For road trips in less-populated areas, bring a road atlas or paper maps (you can get free maps at AAA if you are a member) Maine Coast road trip - read the full post here: https://we3travel.com/boston-to-bar-harbor-a-maine-coast-road-trip-itinerary/ Florida Keys road trip - read more here: https://yourtimetofly.com/key-west-girls-trip/ Canadian Rockies road trip - read more here: https://we3travel.com/canadian-rockies-vacation-itinerary/ West Coast road trip - read more here: https://stuffedsuitcase.com/west-coast-road-trip/ Road trip packing list: https://stuffedsuitcase.com/pack-car-road-trip/ Related Episodes West Coast road trip Southwest Grand Circle road trip Oregon Coast road trip California road trip Midwest road trip Family road trip tips

PLANTED A LONG-BEAKED WILLOW TREE TODAY, JOYFUL : 4/4: The Man Who Planted Trees: A Story of Lost Groves, the Science of Trees, and a Plan to Save the Planet, by Jim Robbins. https://www.amazon.com/Man-Who-Planted-Trees-Science/dp/0812981294/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Twenty years ago, David Milarch, a northern Michigan nurseryman with a penchant for hard living, had a vision: angels came to tell him that the Earth was in trouble. Its trees were dying and, without them, human life was in jeopardy. The solution, they told him, was to clone the champion trees of the world—the largest, the hardiest, the ones that had survived millennia and were most resilient to climate change—and create a kind of Noah's ark of tree genetics. Without knowing if the message had any basis in science, or why he'd been chosen for this task, Milarch began his mission of cloning the world's great trees. Many scientists and tree experts told him it couldn't be done, but, twenty years later, his team has successfully cloned some of the world's oldest trees—among them giant redwoods and sequoias. They have also grown seedlings from the oldest tree in the world, the bristlecone pine Methuselah. When the New York Times journalist Jim Robbins came upon Milarch's story, he was fascinated but had his doubts. Yet, over several years, listening to Milarch and talking to scientists, he came to realize that there is so much we do not yet know about trees: how they die, how they communicate, the myriad crucial ways they filter water and air and otherwise support life on Earth. It became clear that as the planet changes, trees and forest are essential to assuring its survival. 1922 CARACAS

What do you do with RMDs you don't actually need? If you're retired and over age 73 — or 75 if you were born in 1960 or later — you know the IRS requires you to start taking Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) from your traditional IRAs and workplace retirement accounts. Even if you don't need that money for living expenses, you still have to take it - which means more taxable income, higher Medicare premiums, and a bigger chunk of your Social Security benefits becoming taxable in some cases. Today I share "6 Strategic Ways to Make the Most of Distributions You Don't Need", an article by Greg Hammons from TheStreet.com. Reinvest in a Taxable Brokerage Account - super straightforward. Make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) Use RMDs to Fund Life Insurance Cover the Taxes on a Roth Conversion Fund a 529 Plan for Education Give to Family—Tax-Free So what's the best move for you? That depends on your goals—whether it's growing your money, reducing taxes, helping your family, or supporting a cause. But the key message is this: RMDs don't have to be a tax burden. With some intentional planning, they can be an opportunity. Before making a move, talk to your financial planner or tax pro. These strategies can have long-term effects on your retirement plan, your taxes, and your legacy. I also tackle a listener question: "What is your recommendation to cover the gap in sustainable income from pre-retirement (e.g., 60) to Social Security claiming age (e.g., 70)?"
