Terry Anderson, editor of Adapt and Be Adept: Market Responses to Climate Change, presents a collection of economic and social essays arguing that market-based adaptation is the most practical and effective response to a changing climate. Using Pascal's Wager as a framework, Anderson suggests that preparing for climate impacts is a winning strategy regardless of the underlying causes. A major focus is the physical and economic limits of renewable energy; the book asserts that wind, solar, and battery storage are currently far too expensive and inefficient to replace fossil fuels, which remain the backbone of global specialization and prosperity. Anderson criticizes "top-down" political solutions like carbon taxes and "climate clubs," arguing they often devolve into disguised protectionism—a "bootleggers and baptists" scenario where special interests hide behind environmental rhetoric to secure subsidies or tariffs. Instead, the book promotes "price discovery" through financial and insurance markets as a way to harmonize human behavior with environmental reality. For example, when insurance rates accurately reflect the risk of storm surges, property values in coastal areas like Florida naturally adjust, incentivizing people to move to safer, higher ground. The text also highlights the importance of local knowledge, citing Alaskan native villages where traditional adaptation strategies are frequently hindered by rigid federal regulations that prevent them from following migrating wildlife. Contributors, including Mark Mills and Bjørn Lomborg, advocate for pragmatism over utopianism, suggesting that funds should be spent on tangible improvements like seawalls, better data collection, and poverty reduction rather than inefficient attempts to halt global climate shifts through government mandates.

Parenting doesn't come with a manual, and for ambitious entrepreneurs, balancing career success with family life can feel like an impossible challenge. In this solo episode, Travis Chappell reflects on parenting lessons he's gathered from conversations with world-class guests including Joe Gatto, Jordan Harbinger, and Shaquille O'Neal, while sharing his own experiences as a father. He explores why success at work shouldn't come at the expense of your family—and why giving up on your dreams isn't the answer either. On this episode we talk about: Why work-life balance is less about balance and more about recognizing different seasons of life. The danger of telling yourself you're working "for your family" while sacrificing meaningful time with them. Lessons on presence and intentional parenting from Joe Gatto, Jordan Harbinger, and Shaquille O'Neal. How your daily habits teach your children what relationships, priorities, and success look like. Practical ways to be fully present both at work and at home without feeling guilty. Top 3 Takeaways Success and great parenting aren't mutually exclusive. The goal isn't choosing work or family—it's being fully present wherever you are. Children value your attention more than your achievements. Small moments of undivided time often matter more than expensive experiences or material success. Pursue your own dreams while investing intentionally in your family. Both your career and your relationships require deliberate effort, and neglecting either creates long-term consequences. Notable Quotes "Wherever your feet are, be there." "Your kids don't care. They just want to spend some time with you." "Protect, provide, and love. Two out of three isn't enough."

Dr. Joseph Moore is a historian who spent a decade testing every financial strategy Americans have ever tried: he Airbnb'd every room in his house, bought land on the moon, founded a cryptocurrency, and invested in a startup that went to zero — to write How to Get Rich in American History: 300 Years of Financial Advice That Worked and Didn't. He started the project as a "lefty humanities professor" trying to prove the American Dream was a myth. Ten years of evidence later, he'd changed his mind completely. We're all about changing your mind when you know better. We get into why the boomer playbook of saving 10% for 40 years would have failed almost half the time since the American Revolution, why health insurance companies run under 3% margins while funeral homes and self-storage run 10-15%, and the five things that actually predict getting ahead. Joseph also tells the real story of how he got rich — including the tenant who turned out to be running a human trafficking operation out of his first rental property, and the two-block real estate bet that nearly bankrupted him before it made him a multimillionaire. The opportunity was never gone, it just takes longer to find than the get-rich-quick books tell you, and it won't be easy or passive. This is an optimistic view of America from a historian who did the research in books and in his own life.

This session I facilitated a panel considering volunteer organisations which was put on by Community Governance Aotearoa.  I am grateful to Rose and Alice and the team there for letting me put up the audio of the session on Seeds Podcast as well.    Volunteer boards (sports clubs, waka ama, arts groups and more) are the backbone of Aotearoa's not-for-profit sector. When there's no paid staff, committees and boards often juggle governance and operations, everything from managing subscriptions to compliance and community engagement. This talk is for anyone asking: How do we do it all and still lead well? Practical, actionable, and designed for community governance leaders. Our panelists for this talk were: Steven Moe – Partner at Parry Field Lawyers, specialising in social enterprises, not for profits Abby Golden – Co-founder at Te Ara Tīrama Charitable Trust Chris Joseph – Executive Director at Volunteer Kāpiti There is a youtube video of this session here as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vruUDbBLu40  For more content visit www.theseeds.nz

What if the biggest breakthroughs in mental health have nothing to do with chemicals—and everything to do with electricity? In this fascinating conversation, Darin sits down with psychophysiology and brain mapping specialist Rebecca Bassam to explore the electrical nature of the human brain. After surviving multiple traumatic brain injuries herself, Rebecca dedicated her life to understanding how brainwave patterns influence everything from ADHD and anxiety to depression, PTSD, focus, emotional regulation, and peak performance. Together they discuss why traditional mental health often overlooks the brain itself, how brain mapping identifies dysfunctional patterns, why social media instantly pushes us into fight-or-flight, and the promising future of personalized neurotechnology using microcurrent, neurofeedback, biofeedback, light therapy, and frequency-based interventions. If you've ever wondered whether your brain can truly heal, this episode offers an entirely new perspective on what's possible.

In this episode, Sally answers listener questions about overcoming mental barriers during races, stepping up from the half marathon to longer distances, recovering after a first ultra, and building a career in trail-running media. We also have an honest and encouraging conversation about body image, comparison, and why every runner—regardless of pace, size, or experience—belongs in the running community. Thanks for tuning in - enjoy! Other Episode Highlights:How to prepare for the mental wall that often appears late in a marathon or ultra.Why identifying your fears before race day can help you respond differently when things get hard.The simple race-day strategy of slowing down, walking, fueling, and refusing to let temporary discomfort make the decision for you.How to know when you are ready to move from a half marathon to a marathon or 50K.Why curiosity and excitement may be better indicators of readiness than waiting to feel completely confident.The biggest training adjustment when moving up to the marathon: gradually extending the weekly long run while including recovery weeks.What nausea, shaking, poor sleep, and temperature-regulation problems after a first ultra may reveal about hydration and depletion.Practical advice for entering trail-running photography, filmmaking, or media by creating consistently, building relationships, and starting humbly.Why comparison can convince runners that they do not belong—even when they are already doing the bravest thing by showing up.Sally's reminder that your pace, body shape, and clothing size do not determine whether you are a “real” runner.Choose Strong Community Highlights Send in your questions!

Episode Description "Sometimes the hardest goodbye isn't to a person. It's to the life you built." In this episode of Grieve That Sh!t, Sharon Brubaker, grief specialist and founder of The Grief School, sits down with senior transition specialist Felicia Tausig for an eye-opening conversation about one of the most overlooked forms of grief: leaving the home you've built a lifetime of memories in. When we think about grief, we often think about death. But grief also shows up when life changes. When it's time to downsize. When a diagnosis changes the future. When a spouse is no longer there. When the family home no longer fits the next season of life. Together, Sharon and Felicia explore the emotional side of downsizing, why seniors often struggle to let go of possessions, and how every room, photograph, and keepsake tells a story worth honoring. They also discuss how adult children can better support their parents through these transitions, why patience matters, and how memories don't live inside our belongings. They live inside us. This episode is a powerful reminder that letting go of a house doesn't mean letting go of a life. Because home isn't just a place. It's the love, memories, and relationships you carry with you. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why downsizing can be a profound grieving experience The emotional attachment seniors have to their homes and belongings How adult children can support parents through major life transitions Why every keepsake tells a story Practical ways to honor memories without keeping every possession How grief shows up during retirement, aging, and changing seasons of life Why patience and compassion matter during transitions How creating new routines helps ease the emotional adjustment Questions to Sit With After Listening What memories am I holding onto through my possessions? How can I honor my past while embracing my next chapter? Am I giving myself or my loved one permission to grieve this transition? What does "home" truly mean to me? Homework for You Choose one meaningful item in your home. Take a photo of it. Write down the story behind it and why it matters to you. Then ask yourself: "Is it the object I'm holding onto... or the memory?" Because memories don't disappear when things do. They continue to live in the stories we tell and the people we share them with. Resources + Next Steps

Can technology really make you a better golfer—or does it simply confirm what you already know? In this fascinating episode of The Mind Caddie, Karl Morris is joined by Henri Johnson, CEO and founder of FlightScope, to explore how launch monitor technology can transform your game when it's used with purpose.

Every challenge is an invitation, every obstacle contains a solution, and every one of us has the ability to help create a world that works."   5 Building Blocks: The SuperLife Vision This episode touches five pillars that could each become their own future episode. Treating them as a recurring framework gives the show a spine, andgives you a running "vision doc" you can build on episode by episode.   1. Optimism as a Discipline, Not a Disposition The core reframe: optimism isn't naivety, it's where you choose to point your energy. Future episode: the difference between denial and constructive optimism. 2. The Individual Work — Awareness, Freedom, Connection You flagged this yourself as "more on that another time." This is likely your richest solo-episode territory: what it actually means to learn from pain, become more aware, more free, more connected to your contribution. Could be a 3–4 partarc on its own. 3. The People You Cultivate Your stated "greatest asset." A strong recurring segment could be short profiles — 2–3 minutes each — of specific people in your orbit and the solutions they're building. Turns an abstract claim ("I'm surrounded by great people") into proof, episode after episode. 4. Possibility Thinking / "What Else Is Possible?" The engine of the whole philosophy. Future episode: a practical walkthrough of how you actually run this question against a real problem, step by step, so listeners can use it themselves. 5. Daily Practices Your list of eleven. This is a natural standalone episode ("The 11 Things I Do Every Day to Stay Optimistic"), each one expanded with a real story, rather than compressed into one segment of a broader episode.

She was 63, hadn't been intimate with her husband in years, and was told by every doctor, "This is just aging." Dr. Anna Cabeca had one thing to say back: No, it isn't. Dr. Anna Cabeca, The Girlfriend Doctor—a triple board-certified OB/GYN specializing in menopause, hormones, and women's vitality—shares her fully updated vaginal health protocol. This isn't the "just use a lubricant" advice you've heard before. It's a whole-body approach built from more than 26 years of clinical practice, her own experience with early menopause, and the patients who refused to accept "normal" as the final answer. You'll learn: Why vaginal dryness, bladder leaks, and recurrent UTIs are common after menopause—but not something you have to live with. How declining DHEA, estrogen, and progesterone affect tissue health, blood flow, and the vaginal microbiome. A simple 5-step daily routine to support adrenal health, tissue comfort, intimacy, and long-term vitality. Why oxytocin—not just estrogen or testosterone—may be the missing piece for connection, mood, and desire. How Dr. Anna's Sexual CPR framework helps women rebuild communication, pleasure, confidence, and intimacy at any age. Whether you're in your 30s preparing for what's ahead or in your 60s ready to feel like yourself again, this episode will help you understand what's really happening in your body—and what you can do about it.

What if the secret to reigniting your energy, sensuality, and sense of self is as much about biology as it is about sexy confidence and mindset?

Despite what the headlines suggest, most professionals aren't as far behind on AI as they think they are. In this episode, I'm joined by Raman Rai, an award-winning AI product and deployment leader, to explore what it really takes to thrive as AI transforms the workplace.  Raman has helped organizations move AI from strategy into real-world adoption, working with Fortune 100 companies, early-stage founders, and leadership teams. Formerly at PwC and Google, she also helped scale one of the UK's largest enterprise GenAI programs, reaching more than 200,000 people globally in partnership with OpenAI, Microsoft, and Harvey. Her work focuses on the human side of AI adoption, helping organizations build trust, embrace meaningful change, and ensure AI creates greater access and opportunity for more people. In our conversation, we discuss why so many professionals feel overwhelmed by AI and why those feelings are both understandable and more common than you may think. Raman explains why no one has all the answers yet, why learning AI on your own terms matters more than trying to keep up with every new development, and how leaders can introduce AI in ways that help people adapt with confidence. We also explore what it really means to become AI-literate and why understanding your own workflow is the key to finding meaningful opportunities to use AI. Finally, we examine how bias emerges in AI systems and why representative data and diverse perspectives are essential to building better technology. Raman also shares the biggest mistakes leaders make when introducing AI, why investing in people is just as critical as investing in technology, and how organizations can adopt AI with purpose. Join us for this timely conversation and discover how to stay brave, valuable, and visible in the age of AI. Key Points From This Episode: Introducing Raman Rai and today's conversation about thriving in the age of AI. [01:00] Why most professionals are not as behind on AI as they think.

SHOW NOTES: Why do I feel off even when everything looks fine? If you've ever asked yourself that question, you're not alone. Sometimes life appears to be going well on the outside, yet something inside feels unsettled. In this episode of Encouragementology, we explore why that disconnect happens and how comparison, unrealistic expectations, emotional misalignment, and the stories we tell ourselves can quietly shape our perspective. Instead of assuming something is wrong, you'll learn how to pause, investigate your feelings with curiosity, and reconnect with what's actually true. This conversation will help you stop chasing someone else's version of “enough” and start appreciating the ordinary moments that often become the most meaningful parts of a well-lived life. Here is what we unpack together: Why feeling “off” doesn't automatically mean something is wrong with your life. The difference between emotions that inform us and emotions that mislead us. How the arrival fallacy keeps moving the finish line for happiness. Why social comparison makes us feel like we're missing out, even when we're not. A simple personal inventory to help separate facts from interpretations. How to identify whether you're chasing an object or the emotion you hope it will provide. Practical ways to reconnect with what's true before making major life changes. Why we've lost the ability to appreciate ordinary life and how to reclaim it. The surprising freedom that comes from questioning the stories your mind creates. How curiosity, discernment, and gratitude can help you find peace without changing your circumstances. CHALLENGE: Become a detective instead of a critic. When that quiet feeling tells you something is missing, don't rush to change your life. Pause, get curious, and ask yourself what story you're believing and whether it's actually true. You may discover that the peace you've been searching for wasn't waiting somewhere else…it was waiting for you to see your life with clearer eyes. I Know YOU Can Do It!

If you are hungry all the time, exhausted after meals, craving sugar, or suddenly gaining weight around your middle, your body may be signaling something deeper than a need to eat less.In this solo episode, Dr. Mindy explains why nearly four in ten American adults now meet the criteria for metabolic syndrome—a collection of warning signs that can include elevated blood sugar, high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol, increased waist circumference, and changes in liver health.She breaks down four common drivers that can quietly push the body toward metabolic dysfunction: unstable blood sugar, chronic stress, poor sleep, and inflammation associated with excess body fat.You will also learn why crash dieting, excessive cardio, and relying on appetite-suppressing supplements rarely address the real problem. Instead, Dr. Mindy shares five practical ways to support your metabolism through food order, walking after meals, resistance training, better sleep, and a more flexible approach to fasting.Your body is not working against you. It may simply need a different strategy.In This Episode What metabolic syndrome is and why it is better understood as a group of warning signs  The role insulin plays in deciding whether glucose is used for energy or stored  Why crash dieting and aggressive calorie restriction may make matters worse  Why cardio alone is not the best strategy for improving metabolic health  How to build a blood-sugar-stabilizing plate  Why resistance training is especially important for women  How muscle acts as a storage site for glucose  Practical ways to build strength without spending hours in the gym  What “flex fasting” means Resources MentionedFREE Nervous System Questionnaire Fast Like a GirlMin-Chex by Standard ProcessQualia Magnesium+ Berberine BreakthroughFor more resources related to today's episode, visit the podcast episode page: drmindypelz.com/ep356Connect with Dr. Mindy:Join Reset AcademyWatch the episodes on YouTubeFollow Dr. Mindy on InstagramSubscribe to Dr. Mindy's newsletterDisclaimer: This podcast is intended for educational and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.

Today, I'm delighted to reconnect with Dr. Tabatha Barber, also known as The Gutsy Gynecologist. She is a triple board-certified OB-GYN specializing in perimenopause, menopause, and functional medicine. In today's discussion, we explore why supporting your hormones involves much more than simply replacing them. Dr. Barber explains how our nervous system, internal dialogue, cellular health, stress response, and lifestyle work together to influence our hormones, energy, and overall health during midlife. We also discuss why addressing root causes is essential for lasting improvements, the role of mitochondrial health, and practical ways to better support your nervous system. If you're looking for a more comprehensive approach to navigating perimenopause and menopause, you will not want to miss today's insightful conversation with Dr. Tabatha Barber. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Why regulating your nervous system is essential for lasting hormone and health improvements Why the conversations you have with yourself matter more than external circumstances Why Dr. Barber prefers to focus on identifying the root causes of health issues instead of repeatedly treating downstream symptoms How sympathetic dominance and unresolved stress patterns can influence hormone function Other factors, apart from HRT, that are essential for improving women's health during midlife How oxidative stress, lack of sunlight, and disrupted circadian rhythms can contribute to fatigue and reduced cellular energy How hormone changes in midlife often coincide with greater self-awareness, stronger boundaries, and less people-pleasing How faith, prayer, and gratitude can support nervous system regulation Practical ways to support and regulate your nervous system Bio: Tabatha Barber Dr. Tabatha Barber is a triple board-certified physician — and one of the most distinctive voices in faith-based women's health today. Her story begins where most would have stopped. A teenage mother and high school dropout, she rebuilt her life through faith and perseverance — earning her doctorate and certifications before realizing the very system she trained in was missing the whole point. Today, as owner and medical director of Her Higher Health, creator of the Fast to Faith Coaching Academy, 40 Day program, supplement line, and international bestselling book Fast to Faith, Dr. Tabatha brings one message to every stage and microphone: your body is not broken — your approach is. She is known for doing what no one else does: mapping Scripture directly with how the body works — showing women that Romans 12:2 is the original neuroplasticity protocol, that Genesis 2:7 describes the gut-brain connection, and that God designed healing to happen in community.

Kilian Korth joined the show to have a discussion around ultrarunning's growing professionalization without sophisticated regulated drug testing, the limits and trade-offs of WADA/USADA-style regimes, and why "doping" as a blanket term obscures intent and severity. We unpack gray areas such as THC thresholds, TUE complexity for common medications, transparency vs backlash, influencer incentives, and the future pressure regenerative medicine and technology (e.g., super shoes) may place on sport rules. Kilian: IG: @runtoughmindset | Substack: https://substack.com/@runtoughmindset Sponsors: LMNT: https://drinkLMNT.com/HPO (free sample pack with purchase) deltaG: https://deltagketones.com Code: BITTER20 (20% Off) True Nutrition: https://truenutrition.com/hpo Code: HPO (20% Off) Episode Summary & Notes: Zach Bitter & Kilian Korth on PEDs, incentives, and doping in ultrarunning Context & framing Conversation is the third appearance by Kilian on Zach's podcast; shifts from traditional training/racing episodes toward current events in running. Sparked by recent doping-related controversies (Cam Hanes / Sage Canaday online conflict, Mike McKnight's discussion of BPC-157 use on Hanes' podcast). Both emphasize moving beyond narrow focus on specific peptides/cases to broader structural issues. Activism, incentives & tribalism Skepticism of modern activism: good causes often get distorted by perverse incentives (attention, platform growth, organizational self-preservation/mission creep). Online environments (especially short-form social media) reward polarization over curiosity or truth-seeking. Parallel drawn to low-carb diet advocacy: movement shifted from exploration of pros/cons toward dietary supremacy and identity attachment. Both hosts value changing one's mind with new evidence and prefer evolving conversations over tribal "debates" aimed at winning. Core problem in ultrarunning Rapid professionalization and financial incentives exist, but sophisticated testing (especially out-of-competition) is essentially absent. Honor-code system + high rewards creates conditions in which some athletes near the top are likely to use PEDs. Contrast with Olympic sports (e.g., swimming) where positives occur even with lower financial stakes. "Doping" is an unhelpful blanket term that equates intentional, high-impact cheating (e.g., EPO) with gray-area or accidental cases. BPC-157 and gray areas BPC-157 is an experimental peptide with very limited human data (one small study of 12 people among 36 total studies reviewed). Anecdotally has been used for tendon/muscle healing; on the WADA banned list at all times (no TUE pathway currently). Gray areas exist in WADA criteria themselves (performance enhancement potential, health risk, "spirit of the sport"). THC example: banned in-competition with a relatively high threshold; removed alcohol from the list is an example of changes over time. Distinction between letter of the rules vs. moral/cosmic fairness; between intentional advantage-seeking and medical/recovery use. Testing realities & practical challenges Full USADA/WADA-style regimes require whereabouts reporting, out-of-competition testing, and significant lifestyle constraints (conflicts with the free-spirited, remote nature of trail/ultrarunning). Even gold-standard systems have loopholes (missed whereabouts, remote camps, short-acting substances timed around sleep windows). Half-measures are expensive, burdensome, and unlikely to deter determined cheaters. Middle-of-pack and age-group athletes face different calculus; many use legitimate medications (inhalers, etc.) that may or may not require TUEs depending on type and dose/threshold. Possible paths forward discussed Transparency and honesty should be encouraged rather than punished (both hosts respect that Hanes and McKnight disclosed BPC-157 use). Practical ideas: Optional "non-competitive / open" checkbox so athletes using regulated substances can still participate without affecting results/records. Tested vs. non-tested divisions (bodybuilding-style model). More education needed around legitimate medical use (TUEs, Global DRO checks). Focus should prioritize the small professional/elite tier where financial and competitive incentives are highest over age-group minutiae. Future regenerative medicine and longevity interventions will force further adaptation; sport has already accepted large performance gains from technology (super shoes) more readily than internal/medical ones. Influencers & broader culture Influencer economy adds complexity: financial incentives to promote products or share experimental practices; difference between sharing personal experience vs. recommending use. Transparency with clear caveats is preferred; pure anecdote-driven advice remains problematic. Societal issues (tribalism, algorithmic incentives, low scientific literacy) make clean solutions difficult inside a small niche like ultrarunning. Closing notes Both stress nuance over black-and-white absolutism Conversation aims to push the sport toward honest discussion of incentive structures rather than endless case-by-case outrage. Kilian's Substack article ("The Run Tough Mindset") and upcoming documentary Forged in Failure are referenced as related material.  

How do you stay calm when the conversation gets hard? Whether you're leading a team, raising kids, serving clients, or navigating conflict with someone you love, your ability to stay calm may be your greatest leadership advantage. In this powerful return to DREAM THINK DO, bestselling author Bob Burg shares why genuine influence doesn't begin with convincing others. It begins with mastering yourself.

Why are some people so against eating pussy? In this episode, we dive into the conversation happening around masculinity, pleasure, and what's really behind people's attitudes toward giving and receiving oral sex. Amy and Shaun Galanos, love coach, The Love Drive podcast host, and writer, explore the “ROI” of being a generous, attentive lover — and why learning how to create pleasure can transform confidence, intimacy, and connection. Because great sex isn't just about technique; it starts with how you show up, your willingness to communicate, and your ability to stay curious about your partner's experience. Shaun shares his journey of learning to love giving oral sex, while Amy opens up about her own journey of learning to love receiving it. Together, they unpack why some people don't enjoy oral sex, what barriers might be getting in the way, and how we can approach pleasure with more openness and less pressure. In this episode, you'll learn: Why energy, presence, and emotional connection matter before any technique A beginner-friendly anatomy lesson to better understand vulvar pleasure Practical tips from both the giver and receiver perspectives How to communicate your desires without shame or awkwardness What to do when you want more oral sex from your partner How to navigate situations where one partner isn't interested How to ask for changes in technique — like more pressure, less pressure, different pacing, or more variety — while keeping intimacy at the center Shaun Galanos brings over a decade of experience helping people have more honest, playful conversations about sex, love, and dating. Through coaching, storytelling, and his work around emotional courage and modern masculinity, Shaun helps people embrace vulnerability, communicate their desires, and create deeper connections.

Welcome to How to Decorate from Ballard Designs! While the team takes a short summer break, they are re-sharing a handful of their all-time favorite podcast episodes. Today, Caroline, Taryn, and Liz sit down with American interior designer David Jimenez to discuss his path to living in Paris and his Rizzoli book, Parisian by Design: Interiors by David Jimenez. David shares the secrets behind effortless Parisian style, the art of layering, and how to create deeply personal spaces filled with joy and memories. Quick Decorating Takeaways: Embrace Antiques for Continuity: The French are known for holding onto the pieces they buy and passing them down through their families. Bringing familiar, story-filled antiques into a new home offers a comforting and reassuring atmosphere. Curate a "Salon Style" Gallery Wall: To replicate the gallery walls seen in the Louvre Museum, start hanging artwork on thin metal rods right under your room's ceiling molding. Mix Finishes Fearlessly: Do not feel constrained by strict design rules regarding matching wood or metal finishes. Mixing dark and light woods, or nickel and brass, brings energy and vital contrast to a room. Leverage Large-Scale Pieces: Create dramatic "highs and lows" in your spaces by mixing oversized items with smaller ones. A large piece of art or a tall secretary desk provides visual surprise and hierarchy. Utilize Decorative Screens: Room dividers can introduce subtle layers of texture and color, or serve a highly practical purpose like masking an unattractive view outside a window without blocking the natural sunlight. Anchor with Black: Black serves as an excellent underlying punctuation mark in a room. Using black lampshades is a reliable way to add contrast and prevent a space from feeling too monotonous. What You'll Hear on This Episode: 00:00 An introduction to the summer "best of" series and a warm welcome to guest David Jimenez. 04:52 David's career journey, starting as a Gap salesperson and leading to his relocation to reinvent a historic French brand. 08:37 The beauty of investing in antiques and the reassurance of bringing familiar furniture into new spaces. 13:55 How to casually layer your decor over the course of a relaxing afternoon. 16:27 Tips for constructing a Louvre-inspired gallery wall with high placements and metal rods. 20:20 Why breaking traditional design rules about wood and metal finishes breathes life into a room. 23:02 Using scale and oversized pieces to create necessary visual drama. 25:37 Practical and aesthetic applications for decorative folding screens. 29:02 The inspiration behind David's favored 7cm-wide black and white striped curtains from the Marché Saint-Pierre. 32:25 Why black lampshades and pops of dual-tone colors help ground a space. 34:29 How observing master designers like Madeleine Castaing can influence your own design choices. 37:23 Exploring the second half of David's book, featuring an insider's guide to Parisian artisans and shopping destinations. 41:01 The crucial etiquette for shopping at French flea markets, starting with a polite greeting. 44:07 Finding bold color inspiration within historic French museums and former homes. 51:29 Details on where to purchase Parisian by Design and where to follow David's work online.

Phyllis sits down with two friends in very different time zones — Laurel Simpson in Canada and holistic pain coach Esther Mooney in Australia — for a conversation about something most of us carry quietly: pain that doesn't have a clear cause. Esther spent over two decades chasing answers for pain that moved from her knees to her ankles to her pelvis to her neck, until she learned that the brain itself generates pain — and that fear is what keeps the cycle spinning. What unfolds is a tender, honest look at how our emotions live in our bodies, why "I'm okay as I am" might be the most healing sentence you say all day, and how the work we do at Connection Codes is deeply aligned with calming a nervous system that's been stuck in danger mode. If you've ever been told "there's nothing wrong" while you're still hurting, this one's for you.In this episode:•Why all pain is real — and why the brain creates it (neuroplastic pain explained simply)•The fear-pain cycle, and how avoidance quietly makes our world smaller•The FIT assessment (Functional, Inconsistent, Triggered) — a starting point for asking, "Is my pain structural or learned?"•How emotional stress shows up as physical flare-ups•The "six F's" we reach for when pain hits (fear, focus, fix, frustration, figure it out, fight) and why they backfire•Practical tools: somatic tracking, pleasant sensations, and the evidence journal•Esther walks the Core Emotion Wheel about her own pain journeyAbout Esther Mooney: Esther is a holistic pain coach based in Australia and a former ballet dancer whose own two-decade journey with chronic pain led her to the mind-body field and the work of Dr. John Sarno. She helps people struggling with chronic, persistent pain understand the science of neuroplastic pain and teach their nervous systems safety again. Esther has been a Connection Codes listener for years and is passionate about where the emotional-processing work of CC and mind-body pain recovery overlap.Connect with Esther:Website → https://holisticpaincoach.com/Email → esther@holisticpaincoach.comEsther's new podcast, Holistic Pain Coach → https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/holistic-pain-coach/id1896924049Resources mentioned:The Core Emotion Wheel (free download) → https://connectioncodes.co/cewFind a certified Connection Codes coach → https://connectioncodes.co/coaches

Many parents love classical Christian education until one of their children doesn't seem to "fit the mold." Does classical education only work for naturally academic students? Or should an education rooted in truth, wisdom, and Christ be accessible to far more children? In this Summer Flashback, Davies Owens welcomes educator and school consultant Heather Lloyd to explore how classical Christian schools can better serve students with learning differences without compromising academic excellence. Together they discuss what truly defines classical Christian education, challenge misconceptions about rigor, and offer practical ideas for schools seeking to cultivate both truth and love in every classroom. Tune in to hear: Why "rigor" shouldn't define classical Christian education What the "mythical middle" is and why it matters How schools can better serve students with learning differences Practical ideas for creating classrooms where more children can flourish The non-negotiables of authentic classical Christian education Why Charlotte Mason still has much to teach today's educators Whether you're a parent, teacher, administrator, or school founder, this conversation offers encouragement and practical wisdom for building classrooms where every child is invited to pursue truth.

Welcome to The Ecommerce Braintrust podcast, brought to you by Julie Spear, Head of Retail Marketplace Services, and Jordan Ripley, Director of Retail Account Management.   Today, we are getting into something every brand needs to hear - because what you think you know about your media performance might be complete fiction.    We're talking about the 2026 measurement crisis. The moment when the gap between what your dashboards say and what your account shows has become impossible to ignore.    And to help us make sense of it all, we have two incredible guests from the Acadia team with us: Sally Kazin, Head of Analytics, and Ross Walker, Director of Retail Media.   Let's dive in!  Quote: The gap between the dashboard numbers and the ground truth has become impossible to ignore.   Sally Kazin   KEY TAKEAWAYS In this episode, Julie, Jordan, Sally, and Ross discuss: The growing "measurement crisis" in ecommerce, where platform-reported revenue often exceeds actual sales due to duplicated attribution claims across channels Transition from reliable observation-based tracking to a world of estimation and modeling, driven by privacy changes and a fragmented platform landscape The challenges posed by siloed data, platform biases, and engine inflation in retail media and traditional paid channels Widespread overreliance on ROAS as a North Star metric and the pitfalls of "ROAS jail" for both brands and CFOs The limitations and decline of Multi-Touch Attribution (MTA), and why Acadia now deploys a three-pillar measurement framework The importance of glass box (transparent) models over black box or "off the shelf" solutions, balancing science and business art in measurement Pairing MMM with real-world incrementality tests for a self-correcting measurement loop How to communicate with CFOs and senior leadership about marketing impact, translating platform metrics into true business outcomes and incremental revenue The evolution of MMM: from slow, backward-looking models to AI-enabled, forward-looking, and more frequent scenario planning Practical questions for brands to gut-check their measurement strategy, such as verifying if summed platform-attributed revenue exceeds actual sales Common flags of broken retail media measurement, and the need to match ad spend and goals to brand objectives rather than vanity KPIs

Have you ever felt lonely in a season where you actually had people around you?I know I have.After having my fourth child, I found myself feeling incredibly overwhelmed. I had people in my life, but I realized I wasn't truly letting them in. I wasn't being honest about what was hard, where I was struggling, or what I really needed. After experiencing a panic attack, I found myself in counseling and on a journey toward finding deeper, more meaningful connections.In this week's Coffee with Heather mentor series, I want to talk about community in motherhood because I know how hard it can be. As moms, we are constantly pouring out—meeting our kids' needs, managing schedules, and caring for everyone around us. Sometimes friendship gets pushed to the side because we simply don't have the energy left.But the truth is, we were never meant to do motherhood alone.In this conversation, I share: Why making and maintaining friendships can feel so difficult as a mom. How we can unintentionally keep people at a distance. The insecurity that can come when we see groups of moms who already seem connected. How vulnerability helps us move from surface-level relationships into real connection, and how to practically do that.  Practical ways to start building community, even in a busy season. I also share an interview with Jada Edwards about the importance of remembering that our kids don't need a perfect mom—they need the mom God created us to be. We can trust Him with the gaps and allow Him to bring people into our lives who can speak truth, love, and encouragement into our children. God often provides a village in ways we don't expect. Sometimes we just have to be willing to ask Him to show us who those people are and take the first step toward connection.Connect with Melanie Shankle:  Website: Big Mama – the big mama blog  Facebook: Melanie Shankle -The Big Mama Blog Connect with Jada Edwards:  Website: Jada Edwards  Instagram: Jada A Edwards (@jada_edwards) Links Mentioned:  Feelings Chart Needs Chart Don't Mom Alone: By Heather MacFadyen Related Episodes: You are Qualified in Christ :: Jada Edwards [Ep 248] Generational Healing: Becoming the Mom You Needed :: Melanie Shankle [Ep 508] Navigating Friendship :: Melanie Shankle [Ep 273]  Featured Sponsors:  Branch Basics: And here's the good news—Branch Basics is now available everywhere you shop: at Target, Target.com, Amazon, and of course, BranchBasics.com.

Could the biggest threats to your health be hiding in plain sight? When Dan Huber suddenly developed debilitating brain fog, chronic fatigue, anxiety, digestive issues, and neurological symptoms, over a dozen doctors failed to identify the cause. Years later, he discovered the real culprit: toxic black mold hidden beneath his home. That experience launched an obsession with environmental health that expanded far beyond mold. Today, Dan researches how mold exposure, blue light, circadian disruption, poor sleep, and chronic stress silently influence our energy, hormones, cognition, immune function, and overall longevity. In this episode, we discuss: • The surprising symptoms of mold toxicity • Why mold is often misdiagnosed • The connection between mold and brain health • How blue light affects dopamine, melatonin, and sleep • Morning sunlight and circadian optimization • Why your home environment may matter more than supplements • Practical ways to improve recovery, resilience, and overall health ----- 00:00 – How Black Mold Destroyed Dan's Health 08:05 – Why Mold Is So Often Misdiagnosed 11:23 – How to Know If Mold Is Hiding in Your Home 16:27 – Detoxing From Mold Exposure 19:15 – Living With Mold Sensitivity 22:22 – The Best Ways to Test Your Home for Mold 27:23 – What To Do If Your Home Tests Positive 32:36 – Why Blue Light Became Dan's Next Obsession 34:45 – How Blue Light Impacts Sleep & Mental Health 37:23 – Morning Sunlight & Circadian Rhythm 39:02 – Why Sleep Changes Everything 41:11 – Practical Ways to Reduce Blue Light 46:09 – Can We Eliminate Too Much Blue Light? 47:16 – Is Blue Light Worse Than Mold? 49:09 – The Simplest Health Habit Anyone Can Start Today 52:12 – Why Dan Started Helping Kids 57:03 – What "Ever Forward" Means to Dan ----- Episode resources: 15% off my favorite collagen coffee with code CHASE at StrongCoffeeCompany.com 33% off your new favorite gut health support system with code EVERFORWARD at 38TERA.com/everforward

Spoiler: Stick around to the end to hear Seth do a Justin Bieber/Shema mashup... What if salvation isn't about escaping our humanity but restoring it? This episode unpacks a revolutionary view: human beings are inherently divine images—nouns and verbs—created to reflect God's character and creativity into the world. But somewhere along the way, that sacred image is fractured, leading to spiritual abuse, dehumanization, and disconnection from ourselves and others. In this episode, we explore the biblical concept of being fully human as God originally intended—images and likenesses of God, called to image and "verb" humanity into the world. We discuss how understanding our created purpose impacts our view of spirituality, identity, and the fight against spiritual abuse.The biblical foundation of human dignity: imagery and likeness in GenesisThe significance of image-bearing as verb and noun: (re)imagining God into the worldHumanity's role in creation: exercise of sovereignty, rule, and subduing with purposeThe concept of glory and honor: humans crowned when acting as God's imageThe impact of idolatry: exchanging God's glory for created things, resulting in dehumanizationThe recovery of humanity through Christ: becoming conformed to Jesus' image in ongoing transformation Timestamps:00:00 - Welcome and episode overview: rediscovering what it means to be fully human 02:08 - Parental stories and everyday life as reflections of human image-bearers 03:19 - Introducing the series: spiritual abuse and the importance of being fully human 06:06 - How bad religion binds us and takes us away from our true humanity 06:54 - Humanity's broad scope: body, spirit, and all aspects of life as God's image 07:25 - Genesis 1: Making humans in our image and likeness—temple language 08:47 - Image as physical representation of divine power: statues of gods and kings 09:47 - Humanity as living idols: embodying God's character and purposes 10:45 - Humanity's role to rule, subdue, and create potential in creation 12:10 - Purposeful rule: exercising sovereignty and cultivating the world 14:37 - The divine breath and humanity: dirt plus divine spirit 15:32 - Material and immaterial unity: embodying God's spirit and image 16:14 - Humanity's role in worship through work and loving care of creation 17:10 - Names and authority: humans mirroring God's naming as image bearers 19:07 - The human's shared authority with God: law, naming, and rule 20:18 - Doing what God does: image as noun and verb—reflecting and enacting God's character 21:55 - The importance of language: naming and imitating God's creative acts 22:56 - The impact of the fall: losing the image and glory, and the rupture in relationships 24:34 - The shift from image as noun to image as verb: imaging the serpent's wisdom 27:17 - Psalm 8: Humanity crowned with glory when fulfilling divine purposes 29:49 - Romans 1 and 3: Exchanging God's glory for images of creation, resulting in dehumanization and corruption 32:34 - The fall and the wave of idolatry: suffering in bodies and communities 35:09 - Jesus as the perfect human: revealing the true image of God 37:42 - Christ's image as the ultimate image bearer: revealing God's character fully 40:50 - The power of the Gospel: recovering the image and glorifying God in our restored humanity 44:13 - Salvation as the recovery of true humanity, not escape from bodies 45:39 - Practical implications: recovering sexuality, emotion, and purpose in God's image 47:37 - Jesus' ministry as the full embodiment of human image-verbing 50:11 - Community and shame: reclaiming sacredness and dignity 52:30 - The challenges of shame and the path towards wholeness in Christ 55:26 - The importance of seeing ourselves as image bearers: our identity and calling 56:33 - Systems of dehumanization and the collapsing of societal structures 58:29 - Celebrating community and the gift of joyful service in God's image

What if the biggest thing holding your business back isn't the economy, your competitors, or rising costs—but your own mindset? In this solo episode of 365 Driven, host Tony Whatley challenges business owners and entrepreneurs to rethink how they view problems, success, and personal growth. Drawing from his own journey of growing up in a lower-middle-class family, working construction to pay his way through engineering school, and eventually building and selling multi-million-dollar businesses, Tony shares the mindset shifts that helped him escape scarcity thinking and create lasting success. Throughout the episode, Tony explains why so many people stay trapped in a "poor mindset" by giving too much emotional energy to small problems while ignoring the bigger opportunities that can transform their lives. Using practical examples—from arguing over gas prices to stressing about restaurant menus—he illustrates how successful entrepreneurs learn to assign value to their problems, focus on what they can control, and continually "graduate" to solving larger, higher-value challenges. You'll also discover why increasing your income is less about working harder and more about developing the skills to solve bigger problems, why companies pay more for people who can manage greater risk, and how investing in knowledge—not excuses—creates long-term wealth. Tony also dives into the principles of Stoicism, emotional discipline, and personal accountability, offering practical strategies to stop reacting to distractions and start responding like the person you aspire to become. If you're a business owner who wants to stop wasting energy on low-value distractions, build a stronger mindset, and focus on the opportunities that truly move the needle, this episode will challenge the way you think—and help you level up both your business and your life. Key highlights: How to escape a poor mindset and think like a successful entrepreneur. Why small distractions keep business owners from bigger opportunities. The concept of "graduating" to solving higher-value problems. How emotional discipline and Stoicism improve business decision-making. Why increasing your income starts with developing valuable skills. The connection between solving bigger problems and earning more. How to stop wasting energy on things outside your control. Practical mindset shifts to create more focus, peace, and long-term success. Connect with Tony Whatley: Website: 365driven.com Instagram: @365driven Facebook: 365 Driven

In this "From The Archives" episode, we revisit this popular series entitled Seven Vital Steps to Building a Christian Family, based on Deuteronomy 6. God charged Israel to live distinctly from surrounding culture and to actively pass that faith down to children and grandchildren. This is a multi-generational, slow-built process rather than a quick fix. Step One: The Fear of the Lord Psalm 33:8, Psalm 33:18, Psalm 34:7, Psalm 111:10, Proverbs 1:7, 1:29, 8:13, 10:27, 14:27 — Fearing God is tied to wisdom, knowledge, protection, and a fuller life. Practical ways to cultivate reverence in kids Congregational singing as an act of worship and awe Daily gratitude and prayer at meals Careful, deliberate use of God's name in the home Creating "awe" experiences
