Jets fans have officially inherited New York's desperation crown, at least according to Evan Roberts. Evan argues that years of losing have made Jets fans more passionate than Knicks fans after New York's championship, sparking a heated debate with Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash over whether winning actually changes a fan base's hunger. The hour also digs into encouraging signs around Aaron Glenn, including Demario Davis calling the Jets' in-season practices some of the hardest he has experienced. Plus, the guys debate how the Mets should handle Howie Rose's final broadcast if bad weather threatens Sunday's ceremony, compare Josh Allen's championship pressure to Aaron Judge's, and revisit the controversy over whether O.J. Simpson should still be acknowledged in Buffalo Bills history.

What if financial success isn't the destination, but simply the foundation for something greater?We spend a great deal of time thinking about how to earn, save, invest, and manage money wisely. Those things matter. Faithful stewardship requires care and wisdom with what God has entrusted to us.But what happens when you've done many of those things well and still find yourself wondering, Is there something more?Scott Highmark, President and Co-Founder of Mosaic Wealth, a Certified Kingdom Advisor®, and author of The Significance Pyramid: Climb Beyond Success to Find Lasting Significance, believes there is.His “Significance Pyramid” offers a framework for moving beyond financial success toward a life increasingly shaped by purpose, generosity, service, and ultimately surrender to Christ.Why Success Alone Can't SatisfyOur culture often encourages us to keep moving “up and to the right”—more income, more achievement, more possessions, more recognition.There's nothing inherently wrong with achievement. The problem comes when we expect it to satisfy desires it was never designed to fulfill.Highmark points out that even people who reach the top of their professions often discover that the fulfillment they expected doesn't last. Accomplishment may bring genuine satisfaction for a season, but our appetites continually reach for something more.Ultimately, the human heart's deepest longing cannot be satisfied by another financial milestone or professional achievement. We were created for God Himself.That conviction is at the heart of the Significance Pyramid. Every life points somewhere. The question is whether ours ultimately points toward ourselves or toward something greater.Stewardship: Building the FoundationThe pyramid's first level is stewardship.Stewardship involves wisely managing all God has entrusted to us—not simply our money, but our time, abilities, opportunities, and relationships.Financially, that means understanding what we have, knowing where it is going, and learning to live within our means. Practices such as budgeting can sometimes feel restrictive, but healthy financial boundaries can actually create freedom. When our finances are in order, we can spend and give more intentionally instead of constantly reacting to financial pressure.But stewardship is only the foundation. Once money consumes less of our attention, we can begin asking deeper questions about what our resources are actually for.As Highmark puts it, money can help fund our purpose, but it cannot help us find our purpose.Symmetry: Bringing Our Lives Into AlignmentThe second level is symmetry, or alignment.Most of us can quickly name what matters most to us: faith, family, marriage, generosity, service, relationships. But would someone looking at our calendars and financial statements reach the same conclusion?Symmetry means aligning the way we actually live with the things we say we value.James 1 describes a person who looks at himself in a mirror, walks away, and immediately forgets what he looks like. In a similar way, we can profess certain priorities while organizing our lives around completely different ones.Highmark tells the story of a successful executive who traveled more than 150 days a year. His children were nearing adulthood, his mother was aging, and financially, he no longer needed to continue working at the same pace. Yet striving had become such a normal part of his life that he had never seriously considered another way.One simple question changed his perspective: Why are you still working like this?Eventually, he stepped away from that role. In doing so, he gained more time with his children and his mother and began serving through ministry.Sometimes faithful stewardship requires more than accumulating enough. It requires asking whether the life we are living actually reflects what we say matters most.Purpose: Using What God Has Given YouThe third level of the pyramid is what Highmark calls self-satisfaction. The name can sound self-focused, but the idea is really about discovering meaningful work and using our unique gifts well. Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”God has made each of us with different abilities, experiences, relationships, and opportunities. Faithful stewardship includes learning to use those things in service to Him.Highmark draws on an insight from Henry Blackaby: Rather than beginning with the question, What is God's will for my life? we should begin with, What is God's will? Then we ask whether we are willing to adjust our lives to participate faithfully in what He is doing.That changes the focus. Purpose is no longer primarily about finding the career or activity that makes us feel fulfilled. It becomes a matter of offering our lives to God and faithfully using what He has entrusted to us.And even personal fulfillment isn't the top of the pyramid. If our purpose ends with ourselves, it still falls short.Significance: Turning OutwardThe fourth level is significance.Here, the focus shifts from inward to outward. Instead of asking, What will make me happy? we begin asking, How can I use what God has entrusted to me for someone else's good?That may require sacrifice. We may willingly choose to have less so someone else can have what they need. We may surrender time, comfort, opportunity, or resources for another person's good.Jesus Himself models this kind of life. Philippians 2 describes Christ as taking “the form of a servant.” Rather than using His position for His own advantage, Jesus humbled Himself and served.Significance, then, isn't simply about accomplishing something impressive or leaving behind a recognizable legacy. It is about loving and serving others faithfully—even when doing so costs us something.That can show up in countless ways: generosity, hospitality, mentoring, caring for family, serving through the local church, investing in younger generations, or simply making ourselves available to people God has placed around us.Surrender: The Ultimate DestinationEven significance isn't the final destination. At the top of Highmark's framework is surrender.A person can live generously, serve others, and pursue meaningful work and still remain at the center of their own life. Biblical surrender goes further. It means offering our whole lives to Christ.Our money belongs to Him. Our careers belong to Him. Our families, abilities, ambitions, plans, and futures belong to Him. That doesn't mean financial planning or professional success is unimportant. It means those things find their proper place beneath the lordship of Christ.Success asks, How much can I accomplish? Significance asks, How can what I have been given serve others? Surrender asks an even deeper question: Lord, how would You have me faithfully use everything You have entrusted to me?Financial success can be good. Wise stewardship can create margin, opportunity, and freedom. But success was never meant to become our ultimate destination. The goal is faithfulness—a life in which everything God has entrusted to us increasingly points beyond ourselves and toward Him.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My husband and I are entering retirement and use a credit card for groceries, paying it off monthly to earn travel rewards. Is that a wise strategy, or would it be better to pay directly from our monthly budget?I'm 71 and want to use Qualified Charitable Distributions for my tithes and offerings. How do QCDs work, can they come from an annuity, and can I direct part of my RMD to myself and part directly to my church?Resources Mentioned:Become a FaithFi PartnerThe Significance Pyramid: Climb Beyond Success to Find Lasting Significance by Scott HighmarkMosaic WealthFaithful Steward: FaithFi's Quarterly MagazineFaithFi Field Guide: How Much Money is Enough?

How can an architectural education prepare you to break away from traditional practice and tackle complex systems like social impact housing, community advocacy, and non-traditional careers?In this episode of Practice Disrupted, host Evelyn Lee sits down with Sarai Williams, Vice President of Housing Strategy and Partnerships at BDP Impact Real Estate. A thread that keeps surfacing this season is what happens to the people who receive an architectural education and then choose not to practice traditionally. Sarai's multi-disciplinary journey, spanning a Bachelor of Architecture from Howard University, a dual Master's in City & Regional Planning and Landscape Architecture from Penn, and years in architectural consulting and landscape design, offers a compelling look at how design thinking extends far beyond the drafting board.Sarai reflects on realizing early in her education that she was better suited as an editor and advocate than a traditional "starchitect". From performing forensic architecture in consulting firms to leading housing initiatives that keep people successfully housed across a national portfolio, she shares how systems thinking from architecture applies directly to real estate development and homelessness mitigation. She also dives into the art of the informational interview, a critical tool that shaped her career, and how asking candid questions opens doors to unconventional opportunities.The conversation also explores Unruly Practices, a graduate elective Sarai co-taught at the University of Pennsylvania. Designed around unprepared guest panelists who answer unfiltered student questions, the course helped students channel career anxiety into actionable strategies for grant writing, entrepreneurship, and alternative paths. Sarai and Evelyn close on the future of housing, emphasizing the need for architects to strip away ego, become better listeners, and build multi-disciplinary teams with professionals outside design. "The future of housing relies on architects stripping away ego, becoming better listeners, and building multi-disciplinary teams with professionals outside design." - Sarai WilliamsThis episode serves as a powerful reminder that an architecture degree is a versatile toolkit for systems thinking, problem-solvingv, and advocacy. By stepping outside traditional boundaries and collaborating across disciplines, architects can drive meaningful social impact where it is needed most. Guest:Sarai Williams is Vice President of Housing Strategy and Partnerships at BDP Impact Real Estate, where she works at the intersection of social impact real estate development and homelessness response. She earned her Bachelor of Architecture from Howard University and a dual Master's in City & Regional Planning and Landscape Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania. With past experience in architectural consulting, forensic design, and landscape architecture at Olin, Sarai also spent four years co-teaching Unruly Practices, an elective at Penn dedicated to helping students navigate non-traditional design careers and systems-level advocacy. This episode is especially for you if: ✅ You are curious about how to leverage an architectural education in non-traditional fields like social impact real estate, urban planning, and advocacy.✅ You want to master the art of informational interviews to discover new career paths and build authentic professional networks.✅ You are seeking strategies to manage career burnout, set healthy boundaries, and transition from traditional design practice.✅ You want to understand how systems thinking from design school can be applied to complex social challenges like veteran homelessness and affordable housing retention.✅ You believe that the future of architecture relies on cross-disciplinary collaboration, active listening, and community-centered problem solving.What have you done to take action lately?

What does it means to know enough, and why do so many of us have our sense of self-worth tangled up with the need to appear certain, informed, and never wrong? The common obstacles of perfectionism, yearning for power and to feel "special," along with anxiety are fueled by a world of constant information, public scrutiny, and the subtle pressure to prove our intelligence. It makes a tough environment to come back to the wisdom Socrates shared 2,500 years ago: real wisdom lives in knowing what you don't know.  The good news: getting comfortable with being wrong is a practice, not a personality trait. And the more you do it (starting small and safe), then the more your nervous system learns that doubt isn't dangerous.   About: The Joy Lab Podcast is an Ambie-nominated podcast that blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, anxiety, and depression.

A: This episode traces the drive to perform knowledge back to things like anxiety about judgment and the desire for specialness, along with the amygdala hijack that makes being wrong feel like a survival threat, and offers a practical strategy: exposure. Practice being wrong in small, safe ways until your nervous system recalibrates and realizes it isn't catastrophic.   Q: Can you actually be too certain? Isn't confidence a good thing? A: Being too certain can be detrimental. This episode unpacks the differences between genuine knowledge, intellectual humility, and the performance of certainty for reasons outside of genuine knowledge.     Key moments: [00:30] Setting the scene: Athens, 2,500 years ago — a friend asks the Oracle of Delphi who is the wisest person in the city [02:30] Socrates' conclusion: maybe he was wiser because he knew what he didn't know, and didn't shy away from that unknowing; kept asking questions [03:30] Intellectual humility: holding your beliefs loosely, staying curious, genuinely believing you might be wrong [04:00] The Enoughness layer: the belief that you have to prove your knowledge to be worthy; knowing more makes you enough [05:00] It's exhausting to feel like you need to know all the answers, to be right all the time — and none of us can actually succeed at it [05:30] Two drivers: anxiety (fear of being judged for being wrong) and the desire for power or certainty as protection from vulnerability [07:00] The desire for specialness: inflating self-esteem through the performance of knowing it all [07:30] Research on narcissism and conspiratorial thinking: conspiracy theories offer the feeling of uniqueness — "I know something you don't" [10:00] Henry: a small pitch for narcissism — a little bit isn't bad; we all want to feel special sometimes; full-blown narcissists wouldn't be listening to this anyway [11:00] The belonging need: we don't have to stand out to belong, but we do need to be seen as worthy of inclusion — so we avoid sticking our neck out and being wrong in front of others [11:30] Social media amplifies this: anything put out publicly can be validated or challenged — rarely challenged without feeling diminished [14:00] The internet requires a new kind of resilience and emotional regulation we haven't trained before in human history — much of which is what Joy Lab works on [15:30] Being wrong is so often worse in our heads than in real life — especially when we're willing to admit it; humility actually strengthens connection [17:30] Henry: when the fear of being wrong tips into clinical anxiety or mood problems — perfectionism creates a downward spiral [18:00] The amygdala hijack: the midbrain can't distinguish between a perceived threat (being wrong in front of others) and a real physical threat — fight or flight activates as though lives are at stake [18:30] How to get out: exposure — practice being wrong in small, safe ways; when your nervous system learns it isn't catastrophic, it recalibrates  [20:30] Good news: we have many opportunities every day to practice being wrong — the more you check in, the more you notice them [21:00] The Experiment for this episode works on getting more comfortable with being wrong   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review us wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts!    Please remember that this content is for informational and educational purposes only.

How can leaders build organizations that remain responsive and successful through constant disruption? Kevin sits down with Ron Robinson to explore what makes a company resilient in the face of economic uncertainty, social change, climate events, and rapidly evolving technology. Ron explains why leaders must look beyond financial results and strengthen four interconnected areas of the business: finances, operations, employees, and customers. They discuss how involving employees in budgeting, problem-solving, recruiting, and process improvement can reduce costs, increase responsiveness, and create greater ownership throughout the organization. Ron also introduces the value of internal mastermind groups, where employees closest to the work meet regularly to share knowledge, identify improvements, and respond more quickly to challenges. Ron's Story: Ron Robinson is the author of Practices of Resilient Companies: Overcome Disruption with Compassion, Collaboration and Knowledge. He has consulted with and helped turn around enterprises ranging from Fortune 500 companies to mid-size organizations to startups. He has presented to audiences as large as 3,000 and facilitated groups as large as 300 participants. http://www.ronspeaking.com/ http://ronspeaking.substack.com/ Book Recommendations Practices of Resilient Companies by Ron Robinson On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder Like this?

Big lives contain big experiences.

Send us Fan MailMany physicians begin their careers with a passion for patient care, only to discover that creating meaningful change often requires leadership beyond the exam room. Whether leading teams, influencing healthcare policy, mentoring future physicians, or driving organizational transformation, today's physician leaders are shaping the future of healthcare in powerful ways. Our guests today, Dr. Yumi Taylor and Dr. Sharon Tapper, are nationally respected physician leaders who have dedicated their careers to advancing patient care, supporting physician development, and creating healthier healthcare systems. Through their leadership and their work with Hottocare, they are helping bring one of the most innovative new Medicare programs to patients and families across the country—the GUIDE (Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience) Model. This groundbreaking CMS initiative recognizes that effective dementia care requires support not only for patients, but also for the family caregivers who often shoulder enormous emotional, physical, and financial responsibilities. In this episode, we'll explore leadership in medicine, the growing impact of dementia on our healthcare system, how the GUIDE Model is transforming dementia care, and what physicians need to know about connecting patients and caregivers with these valuable resources as the program expands nationwide.Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

Somatic therapist Melanie Smithson joined ETFA to talk about why your shoulders, your gut and your jaw remember things your brain would rather forget.More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/melanie-smithsonMelanie Smithson has spent thirty years as a somatic psychotherapist, and she opened this episode with a truth most of us avoid: your body remembers everything your mind tries to forget. Stress, grief and old wounds don't just live in your head, they lodge in your shoulders, your gut and your jaw. And according to Melanie, the way out isn't more thinking. It's movement.Melanie is the award winning author of two books, Stress Free in Thirty Seconds and her newest release Shake Yourself Free, and she sits on the board of NAMI New Mexico. Her whole approach centers on one idea: letting go is a skill we were all born with and most of us lost somewhere along the way.We got into practical stuff fast. Melanie broke down small, doable somatic practices anyone can use at a desk, in a chair or stuck in a rut of apathy. Throw your arms in the air. Shake your body loose for thirty seconds. Bounce in your seat. Even groaning counts, and she's working on a new book about exactly that. The goal isn't to look graceful. It's to remind your nervous system that you're not stuck, even when your mind insists you are.We also talked about anger, and Melanie gave one of the most useful distinctions of the whole conversation: the difference between expressing a feeling and raging at someone. It comes down to checking in with your body first and doing an honest inventory before you ever open your mouth. She walked through how she handles it in her own marriage, and it's a practice worth stealing.Grief got its own space too. Melanie explained why grief isn't one feeling but a whole cluster of them, sadness, anger, despair, stuck-ness, and why figuring out which one you're actually sitting with changes everything about how you move through it.One of the most striking parts of our conversation was Melanie's point about why physical illness gets accepted in our culture while mental struggle still carries shame. Her answer wasn't what I expected, and it reframed the whole stigma conversation for me.We closed on letting go itself. How do you know when something is actually released instead of just shoved back down? Melanie's answer comes back to the body every time. She also shared a line that stuck with me long after we stopped recording: you cannot let go of who you are, only what you've accumulated. The more you release, the closer you get to yourself.This episode is full of small, real, actually usable tools, not vague advice to just relax. If you carry tension in your body, if you've been told to calm down without anyone telling you how, or if you're ready to stop pushing feelings back down just to have them resurface later, this conversation will give you somewhere to start.

#982 Show Notes: https://www.wetflyswing.com/982Presented by: Yellowstone Teton Territory - Visit Idaho, Gallatin River Lodge, Fly Fish with Me Utah, Sullivan Fly RodsIn this episode, Dave talks with Sascha Clark Danylchuk, executive director of Keep Fish Wet and a fisheries scientist, about simple ways anglers can improve the outcome for every fish they release. Catch-and-release is more than getting a fish back into the water. How long a fish stays out of the water, what it touches, how long it is handled, and the water temperature can all affect what happens after release.Show Notes: https://www.wetflyswing.com/982

Jerry has a confession to make. Years ago, he looked down on chiropractors with small practices, including his own best friend from chiropractic college, who started a micro practice out of financial necessity. Jerry felt sorry for him. He was wrong, and this episode is his honest attempt to make it right. This is one of the most personal episodes Jerry has recorded. He walks through the false beliefs he absorbed from practice management culture, that a small practice isn't a real practice, that it can't be profitable, that significance requires scale, and dismantles each one using real stories from his own life. He talks about a wealthy farmer patient whose modest appearance hid real wealth, a friend with a massive practice whose take-home pay was nearly identical to his own once overhead was factored in, and the tombstone exercise a friend once had him do that reshaped how he thinks about legacy entirely. The episode also includes a deeply personal reflection on Jerry's father, who passed away eleven years ago, and what his father's quiet, high-character life taught him about what significance actually means. It's an emotional, honest, and genuinely encouraging episode for anyone running or considering a small or micro chiropractic practice, and a challenge to anyone who has internalized the idea that bigger is automatically better.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of From the Heart, Drs. Nim Goldshtrom and Adrianne Bischoff talk with Dr. Kristin Elgersma, a nurse-researcher whose path into neonatal nutrition began at her son's bedside in a cardiac ICU. A former concert pianist turned nurse-researcher, Kristin asked a question no one had: does human milk change outcomes for babies with congenital heart disease? Her multicenter PC4 study of day-by-day data from over 800 infants across 25 centers found no link between human milk and NEC, though bovine-derived formula or fortifier tripled NEC risk within five days, while higher human milk intake meant roughly nine fewer hospital days. They cover lactation support, donor milk gaps between NICUs and CICUs, and practical next steps.----Elgersma et al.

In this episode of the podcast, I welcome holistic wellness expert Edie Summers, who shares her journey into wellness after developing chronic fatigue following a ski accident. Edie discusses key pillars for combating burnout. She emphasizes building self-awareness to recognize the body's signals, following curiosity to explore wellness modalities, and incorporating small moments of self-care into busy schedules. She talks about the body as a "web of well-being." It's a powerful idea: touching one point on the web reverberates through the entire system. Think about it: poor sleep can lead to carb cravings, which can affect your energy for exercise, which then affects your mood. It's a domino effect. But the good news is that it works both ways. This interconnectedness is a core principle in holistic wellness and a reminder that small, intentional actions can create significant shifts in our overall health.Edie Summers is an author, coach, consultant and content creator in the holistic wellness and business sectors. She has over 30 years of experience in holistic health. She has extensive training and experience in: alternative and integrative health and well-being, wellness and high-performance coaching, counseling, yoga, and dance. She is the author of the book “The Memory of Health,” a memoir and guide to holistic well-being. Edie wrote this book over the course of ten years, and it is full of research, theories, and tips on improving energy and well-being holistically. She wrote the book for anyone who has chronic fatigue for any reason, burnout, CFS, or who has been through severe stress, chronic illness, or trauma. No matter what you have faced, know there are tools, tactics, and holistic strategies to feel better, sleep better, and reclaim your energy, peace, and well-being, even if you find a new normal.

Much online discussion of the moon focuses on the new and full moons, especially when it comes to setting intentions and releasing things. I prefer to work on a more seasonal basis than monthly, but I'm also terrible at intention setting because I invariably forget what I intended. (No, I intend to remember my intentions doesn't work). Yet examining the plethora of superstitions and beliefs about the moon in folklore reveals that things weren't quite so clear-cut in previous centuries. Practices vary across time and space, but the new moon wasn't always a positive thing, as it's viewed now. The full moon could be both lucky and dangerous. I'm predominantly drawing from British and Irish belief as that's where I'm from, but feel free to leave any other moon superstitions or beliefs from your culture or background in the comments!  Let's explore the moon in folklore in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!

In this episode, I talk about how mindfulness doesn't have to mean sitting quietly for 20 minutes or somehow reaching a perfectly calm state.

In this episode I am once again joined by Leigh Brasington, Buddhist meditation teacher and author of “Right Concentration, A Practical Guide to the Jhanas”. Leigh discusses his new book “Love, Compassion, Joy, Equanimity: The Brahma Viharas – Suttas, Stories, Practices, Hidden Gems” in which he delves into the Pali canon of Buddhist scripture to shed new light on how to understand and practice these potent meditations. Leigh gives detailed descriptions of each of the four brahma viharas. He draws from his decades of teaching experience, as well as scriptural and commentarial literature, to offer his best advice for how to utilise these methods in meditation practice. Leigh reveals how far the brahma viharas can take you towards enlightenment, reflects on the trivialisation of love in today's culture, and I challenge Leigh to retire what I describe as a tired cliché of Western Buddhist pedagogy. … Episode link in bio.

Years ago, I sat across from a doctor and heard the word Hashimoto's for the first time. Autoimmune. Thyroid. Ugh.  And somewhere underneath all the medical language, I had this deep knowing that at least part of what was happening was connected to my throat, my voice, and all the years I hadn't fully spoken what was true for me. I couldn't explain it. I just knew my body was trying to tell me something. Which is one of the many reasons I LOVED this week's conversation with my friend Dr. Sue Morter, master of Bioenergetic Medicine and New York Times bestselling author. Years ago, Sue had an extraordinary experience in meditation that will certainly glow your mind. She shows how to notice when our energy has left us (hello, triggers!

Ashley Gay, a branding expert, argues that a strong brand is not about ego but about earning trust, and that physicians who ignore this are quietly losing patients and talent to competitors who look more polished. This episode is based on her article "Branding a medical practice is not vanity, it is trust," published on KevinMD. You will hear why a logo is not a brand, why owning your website and ranking locally beats showing up for generic medical searches, and where an AI logo generator falls short. You will learn how the whole patient experience shapes your brand, from the first online impression to the phone call to the waiting room, and why private equity already treats this as an edge. Press play to hear why your brand may matter more than your credentials, and where to focus your first dollars. This episode is brought to you by ModMed.

AI can help you get legal work done faster. But if you bill by the hour, that creates an uncomfortable question:  What happens when the work that used to take three hours takes 30 minutes? And billing is only part of the conversation. In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Jennifer Felten and Fred Felten join Steve Riley to talk about what they're actually doing with AI inside their law firm. They share how they're using technology to capture knowledge, train their team, improve processes, and rethink work that has traditionally depended on an attorney's time. They also get into some bigger questions about staffing, flat fees, subscriptions, AI agents, and what a law firm could look like when technology creates more capacity instead of simply helping everyone work faster. If you're trying to figure out where AI actually belongs in your firm, this insightful discussion offers a firsthand look at what happens when you start putting it to work. ___________ In this episode, you will hear: How Jennifer grew her practice from $600K a year to $400K a month How internal GPTs turn attorney knowledge into a resource for the entire team Where automation can take repetitive work off your team's plate Why Jennifer and Fred moved away from hourly billing How AI is changing training, staffing, and capacity inside the firm ___________ Subscribe & Review Never miss an episode.

A short guided practice for midlife women using sound, stillness, pratyahara, and inner listening.Note: Practice begins at minute 18In this episode of The Midlife Spirituality Project, I'm guiding you through a simple listening practice designed to help you slow down, turn inward, and come home to yourself.This practice invites you to close your eyes and listen — first to the sounds around you, both near and far, and then to the quieter inner landscape of your body, breath, and heart.Practices do not have to be complicated to be powerful. Sometimes the simplest practices are the ones that create the most space. Through the yoga practices of pratyahara, or turning inward, and dharana, or focused attention, listening becomes a doorway back to presence.For midlife women, this kind of practice can be especially supportive. So many of us are surrounded by noise, responsibility, expectations, and constant input. We may become so used to listening outward — to what everyone else needs, thinks, wants, or expects — that we forget how to listen to ourselves.This episode is an invitation to pause, soften, and remember that your inner wisdom is still there. You simply need a little quiet, a little space, and a willingness to listen.In This Episode, We Talk AboutWhy simple practices can be deeply powerfulListening as a doorway into presenceHow sound can help anchor the mindListening to sounds both near and farThe yoga practice of pratyahara, or turning inwardWhy midlife women need space to hear themselves againUsing outer listening as a pathway to inner listeningTrusting the wisdom that arises when we get quietPractice From the EpisodeFind a comfortable seat or place to rest.Close your eyes, or soften your gaze.Begin by listening to the sounds closest to you.Maybe you hear your breath, your body, the hum of the room, or a small sound nearby.Then allow your awareness to expand outward.Listen for sounds farther away — outside the room, outside the house, in the distance.Let yourself receive the sounds without needing to name them, judge them, or push them away.Then slowly begin to turn your attention inward.Notice your breath.Notice your body.Notice what is present in your heart.There is nothing to fix and nothing to force.Just listen.Reflection QuestionsAfter the practice, you may want to journal on these questions:What did I notice when I became still?Was it easier for me to listen outward or inward?What sounds helped me feel grounded?What happened in my body as I listened?Did anything soften, settle, or shift?What did I notice beneath the noise?What might my body, heart, or inner wisdom be trying to tell me?Where in my life am I listening too much to the outside world?Where am I being invited to listen more deeply to myself?What would change if I trusted what I heard within?Episode 169: Daily Spiritual Practice: What Sadhana Teachers Us About Coming Home To OurselvesAbout Katie FarinasKatie Farinas is a midlife coach, yoga teacher, and spiritual guide who helps women navigate midlife with clarity, peace, purpose, and empowerment. Through yoga philosophy, mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and energy-based practices, Katie supports women in reconnecting with themselves and stepping fully into their most aligned and authentic lives.

Gratitude journals and gratitude meditations get talked about like a cheat code for happiness, but the research tells a more complicated story. Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas breaks down a massive new analysis of over 140 studies and 24,000 people to show what gratitude practices actually do, and what they don't.In this episode, she covers:Why the popular claim that gratitude rewires your brain and boosts happiness is bigger than what the research actually supportsWhat a 2025 analysis of 140+ studies across 24,000 people and 28 countries found about the real effect size of gratitude practicesWhy gratitude practices lose their edge when compared to other reflective practices like journaling or acts of kindnessWhat the research says about relying on gratitude practices with clients dealing with depression or anxietyHow to help clients choose the practice they'll actually stick with instead of chasing the "perfect" one If you've ever told a client to start a gratitude journal because it seemed like the obvious thing to recommend, this episode is for you. Connect with me on Instagram!LEAVE A REVIEW, WIN A WORKSHOP!

Are you presenting enough treatment to support your production goals, or are gaps in diagnosis and communication limiting what patients understand about their care? In this episode, Kirk Behrendt speaks with ACT Dental coach Ariel Siegel about treatment-presented metrics and how they can reveal whether your practice is having enough comprehensive clinical conversations. You'll learn how to evaluate total and average treatment presented, avoid prejudging patients' willingness to move forward, involve patients through co-discovery, and reverse engineer treatment-presented goals from your production targets. For a practical way to use this metric to improve accountability and comprehensive care, listen to Episode 1096 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Treatment-presented metrics help determine whether a practice is diagnosing and recommending enough care to support its production or collection goals.Practices should review both total treatment presented and average treatment presented to understand consistency and movement toward comprehensive care.Transactional, problem-focused exams can limit opportunities to identify and discuss broader patient needs.Dentists should avoid prejudging a patient's ability or willingness to accept treatment before presenting the best clinical recommendation.Co-discovery helps patients connect clinical findings with what they are seeing, feeling, and trying to achieve with their dental health.Production goals should be reverse engineered using treatment acceptance rates to determine how much treatment must be presented.Peer accountability and regular review of treatment presented versus accepted can help dentists identify trends before they affect the schedule.Episode Chapters:00:00 Introduction to treatment-presented metrics.01:57 Using treatment presented to evaluate clinical conversations and recommendations.03:50 Reviewing total and average treatment presented.04:50 How transactional and problem-focused exams limit comprehensive care.06:58 Using co-discovery to involve patients in the diagnostic process.09:36 Putting patient goals first and discussing comprehensive care.11:47 How communication style affects treatment presentation.14:58 Reverse engineering treatment presented from production goals.18:08 Creating consistent systems for diagnostic and treatment conversations.19:37 Using team members for peer-to-peer accountability.23:13 Closing thoughts and resources for dental practices.Guest Bio:Ariel has a master's in healthcare administration and several years of dental experience in all aspects of the administrative roles within the dental office.

Terrorism in American Memory argues that the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and all that followed in its wake were the primary force shaping United States politics and culture in the post-9/11 era. Marita Sturken maintains that during the past two decades, when the country was subjected to terrorist attacks and promulgated ongoing wars of aggression, we have veered into increasingly polarized factions and been extraordinarily preoccupied with memorialization and the politics of memory. The post-9/11 era began with a hunger for memorialization and it ended with massive protests over police brutality that demanded the destruction of historical monuments honoring racist historical figures. Terrorism in American Memory: Memorials, Museums, and Architecture in the Post-9/11 Era (NYU Press, 2022) sheds light on the struggles over who is memorialized, who is forgotten, and what that politics of memory reveals about the United States as an imaginary and a nation. Marita Sturken is Professor in the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University, where she teaches courses in visual culture, cultural memory, and consumerism. She is the author of Tangled Memories: The Vietnam War, the AIDS Epidemic, and the Politics of Remembering (1997), Thelma & Louise (2000, reissued 2020), Practices of Looking: An Introduction to Visual Culture (with Lisa Cartwright, 4th edition 2025), Tourists of History: Memory, Kitsch, and Consumerism From Oklahoma City to Ground Zero (2007), and Terrorism in American Memory: Memorials, Museums, and Architecture in the Post-9/11 Era (2022). She is currently working on a project about the history of amateur photography in the American culture from Kodak to Polaroid to the iPhone. She was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2023. Chris Millington is Professor of Modern European History and lead of the Histories and Cultures of Conflict research group at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK. He is the author of eight books including Murder in Marseille: Right-Wing Terrorism in 1930s Europe ((Manchester University Press, 2025), The Invention of Terrorism in France, 1904-1939 (Stanford University press, 2023), and France in the Second World War Collaboration, Resistance, Holocaust, Empire (Bloomsbury Academic, 2020).

One of the best ways that you can help yourself going into the season is going out and watching other coaches work their own practices! Today, we talk about what you should do when it comes to watching practices, from asking for permission to attend to what you should do during practice and what you should be looking for as coaches work. We also have a great quote from Socrates to tie into observing others work, and we also have a study of one of the most unique coaches in the history of the game, Larry Brown. Enjoy!

I break down three major behaviors men need to stop doing this year if they want to build genuine intimacy and peace in their relationships. I unpack why pretending you are "fine" breaks trust, how shifting from logistical fixing to emotional understanding changes everything, and why you must stop outsourcing your internal regulation to your partner's mood. By replacing these habits with self-regulation and honest communication, you can cultivate a much stronger, grounded connection.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:00 - Introduction01:36 - Stop Performing and Pretending to Be Fine04:37 - Stop Trying to Fix Her Feelings09:43 - Stop Outsourcing Your Regulation to Her Mood13:30 - Practices for Emotional Detachment and Self-Regulation***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?

When was the last time you memorized something on purpose? Not a password, grocery list, or directions, but a piece of poetry, a prayer, a mantra, a sutra, or a verse that you carried with you in your mind. In this episode, I'm exploring why memorization was once the original way ancient wisdom was passed down, and why it still matters now. We'll look at how memorizing meaningful words can train your attention, support your nervous system, strengthen your brain, and help wisdom become something you can actually return to in real life. Inside this episode, I explore:
