You're more consistent than you think, because not practicing is also a practice.In this milestone 300th episode of Vedge Your Best, Michele reflects on what it really means to show up week after week.This episode explores the stories we tell ourselves about discipline, follow-through, and identity and how those stories can become self-protective. If we say, “I'm just not wired that way,” we may be protecting ourselves from shame, disappointment, or other people's expectations. But we may also be protecting ourselves from evidence that we are capable of more than we think.For anyone who has ever thought, “I'm not consistent enough to be vegan,” “I'm not that kind of person,” or “I could never stick with that,” this episode offers a compassionate reframe. A vegan or plant-based practice can be about ethics, compassion, health, and the planet — and it can also be a way to update your belief in yourself.In this episode:Why Episode 300 made Michele question her own story about consistencyHow “I'm consistently inconsistent” can become a self-protective identityWhy our brains collect evidence for the stories we already believeWhat John Acuff calls “soundtracks” — the repeated phrases we play in our mindsThe Instapot story and the idea of “practicing not practicing”Why veganism or plant-based change can feel activating when you fear inconsistencyHow “I'm not like that” can sometimes mean “I haven't practiced that yet”Why all-or-something is more useful than all-or-nothingHow consistency may simply mean learning how to come backEpisode 300 ChallengeAsk yourself three questions:What have I been practicing that I'm not giving myself credit for?What have I been practicing not practicing?What is one tiny thing I want to practice on purpose this week?Subscribe & Review:If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform.

What does it really mean to operate from integrity and how do you know when a business relationship has crossed a values line? Are you making decisions based on strategy alone, or are you filtering them through what you actually stand for?In this episode, Kathryn shares two candid, real-world examples from her own business, leaving ActiveCampaign after five years and downgrading her Kajabi membership to illustrate how a personal value system shapes even the most practical business decisions. The core tension isn't about right or wrong; it's about recognizing when something feels off and having the clarity to act on it.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL DISCOVER:● Why Kathryn made the decision to leave ActiveCampaign after five years, moving to Kit (formerly ConvertKit) for roughly $300 a year instead of $3,000 and how the company's refusal to honor a publicly listed lower rate for an existing loyal customer revealed a fundamental values misalignment around client retention and people-first business practices.● How Kajabi's shift in their referral program, requiring three new referrals per year to maintain existing payout status felt deeply manufactured and integrity-compromising to Kathryn, ultimately leading her to downgrade her plan and begin migrating predominantly to ThriveCart, a one-time payment platform free from ongoing price increases.● Why the coming paradigm shift Kathryn describes as beginning around 2027 will make authenticity non-negotiable as people become increasingly attuned to energy and able to see through fabricated affiliate promotions, performative engagement, and brand personas that don't match the behind-the-scenes reality of how founders treat their teams and customers.● How your own intuition and gut responses are already your values filter in action and why you don't need a written framework or prescribed list to discern when something feels off, only the willingness to ask yourself why it doesn't feel right and trace it back to what truly matters to you.And while you're here, follow us on Instagram @creativelyowned for more daily inspiration on effortlessly attracting the most aligned clients without spending hours marketing your business or chasing clients.

If your planner, routine, or fresh system starts to feel weirdly heavy the moment you sit down with it, you're not alone. So many of us with ADHD brains quietly carry a performance frame over our follow-through built on a "pass fail" mindset, where every slip up turns into evidence of failure. In this episode, we explore a simple reframe that helps make sticking with our habits and routines feel lighter, more doable, and more in line with how our brains actually work. In Episode 357, You Will Discover: The sneaky way the performance frame turns planning, routines, and new systems into high-stakes situations for ADHD brains The one-word shift that helps follow-through feel lighter and builds real self-trust over time Why a rough day becomes useful information instead of evidence that something's wrong with you Three reflection questions to help you find the places where a practice frame might bring more freedom this week Work With Me: Learn more about private coaching here Join We're Busy Being Awesome (group coaching) Enroll in Overwhelm to Action - step by step course for ADHD Brains More ADHD Resources: Discover Your ADHD Overwhelm Type - Free Quiz!

The Apostasy of Spiritual Formation - A Critique of Practicing the Way, presented by Bob DeWaay and Barb Gretch. Spiritual formation is designed for those who don't know Christ. This is Christianity in name only. Using verses from Hebrews, Bob warns that turning from the promises of God given to all believers and going to spiritual formation leads to apostasy.

Life is shaped by rhythms that form who we become. Rhythms of Grace is an ongoing series that explores spiritual practices to help us grow in faith and experience God's presence. These disciplines—such as prayer, Sabbath, fasting, and more —aren't about earning God's love, but about living more fully in it. Each message will unpack a practice and provide practical tools to help you put it into action. In a world of hurry and distraction, these rhythms help us slow down and re-center on what matters most. As we follow Jesus, these practices shape us, both individually and collectively as the church, into His image.

This summer, we're launching a new series as a spin-off of Stories Among Us with a focused theme: Practicing Our Faith. This series will highlight voices from within our community, sharing how each of us embodies spiritual practices in everyday life. Our Embodiment Sundays will offer guided ways to step into, and practice, each rhythm together. Let's be inspired to intentionally practice our faith.Spiritual Practice Definition: MovementThis week, we're exploring the practice of movement. How caring for our bodies can become a meaningful expression of worship, prayer, and connection with God.Nick MundorfNick grew up in northern Linn County.

Remember, Bhakti is not a practice that exists only between you and Goddess. It is a practice of loving devotion toward all beings, as they too are Her embodiments. To practice that level of love one must have some skill in listening consciously…

In this episode of Side Notes, Adam and Pastor Josh dive deeper into 2 Timothy 3 and what it means to practice the truth in a culture filled with deception. They discuss spiritual vigilance, false teaching, the reality of persecution, and how believers can stay grounded through Scripture and Christian community. Plus, a few side notes on neighborhood watch stories, Cracker Barrel, and preparing for vacation the Josh Rhodes way.

Stephanie Rousselle and guest Dr. Alan Noble discuss living well in today's world by reclaiming forgotten Christian virtues. Drawing from Noble's book, To Live Well, let's consider practical steps Christians can take to thrive amid cultural confusion.According to Noble, we're surrounded by an overwhelming cacophony of voices (social media, celebrities, self-help gurus, even misguided pastors), each offering conflicting advice on how to live a meaningful life. This deluge of ideas leaves many—Christians included—feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and directionless. The key challenge: how do we discern a coherent, godly way of living amid so many broken narratives?Noble suggests reclaiming classic virtues—time-honored character strengths rooted in Christian tradition and Scripture—as a path toward living well. He points out that Protestants, in particular, have neglected these virtues, though historically theologians like Augustine, Aquinas, and Calvin all upheld their value.Practicing these virtues is not about earning favor with God. Instead, Christians live out virtue in grateful response to God's grace, relying on the Spirit's power, and always within community, where we are supported, challenged, and forgiven when we fail.So, let's consider 3 of the 7 virtues Alan Noble offers in his book.1. Prudence (choosing decisively)Prudence means choosing decisively and wisely. In a world obsessed with limitless choice, prudence involves slowing down, humbly discerning reality, seeking what truly glorifies God, deliberate decision-making, and resolute action. Prudence guards against both indecision (paralysis) and the sunk-cost fallacy—stubbornly sticking with poor choices out of pride or prior investment.2. Fortitude (Suffering steadfastly)Modern culture avoids suffering at all costs, but Noble explains that fortitude is about the courage to endure or risk suffering for the sake of the good. Suffering, rightly faced, builds character and produces hope—connecting deeply to the sanctifying work God does in His people. Fortitude enables Christians to move through hardship, trusting that even suffering has purpose.Magnanimity is boldly living into the excellence and gifts God has given, for His glory and the good of others. Pusillanimity, by contrast, is timidity—hiding or burying your God-given talents out of fear. As illustrated in the parable of the talents, God calls each believer to step out in faith and use their gifts with courage.3. Temperance (living moderately)Temperance is the willful restraint from doing everything you can do, especially when surrounded with endless technological, social, and material options. Choosing not to indulge every impulse, but to order choices for God's glory, is countercultural but vital for soul health.When we reorder our perspectives around these timeless virtues, we move from confusion and anxiety toward clarity, purpose, and peace—living as God intended, by His grace and for His glory.ApplicationSelf-examine: Where do you feel confused or pressured by the “heap of broken images” in your life?Practice virtues: Choose to cultivate prudence, fortitude, magnanimity, and temperance, seeking wisdom, courage, excellence, and self-control in daily choices.Pursue community: Remember that virtue grows in fellowship with others; seek relationships that encourage and hold you accountable.Rest in grace: When you fail, rely on God's grace and learn from your mistakes. Embrace the freedom found in Christ's finished work.MORE ABOUT “TO LIVE WELL”You were told to live a meaningful life. But no one ever told you how.Our lives are shaped by contradictions. Competing voices tell us who to be, what to want, and how to live. The result? A fragmented moral imagination. We're handed a thousand broken messages and left to cobble together something resembling a life. But instead of clarity, we get exhaustion. Instead of wisdom, we get anxiety.This leaves you asking yourself How can I get through when I feel alone and confused? How can I live well in this broken and chaotic world?In To Live Well, Alan Noble shows you how you can not only endure but flourish in life. Through exploring the seven virtues of prudence, justice, fortitude, temperance, faith, hope, and love, you'll learn how tochoose gracefully,act justly,suffer steadfastly,live moderately,believe soundly,hope resolutely, andlove rightly.This book won't give you a ten-step plan to fix everything. It doesn't promise clarity overnight. But it will invite you into something deeper: an ancient, time-tested path of habits of heart and mind that shape who we are and how we live.With honesty, theological depth, and a mentor's heart, Noble names your confusion and offers an antidote―not by escaping the mess but by learning how to live faithfully within it. If you've ever longed for something solid in a world that just wants to sell you more temporary stuff, To Live Well is a good place to begin.Do you feel the pain and pressure of spiritual exhaustion? Do you feel unworthy despite consistent effort? Do you lack joy in your personal faith? Do you desire practical, daily rhythms that sustain delight in God?  That's why I wrote "Awaken Delight." It will help you (re)discover:1-Delight in God is identity-shaping, not emotion-driven. Delight in God is not fleeting emotion but resilient identity.2-Delight in God is altogether trust, satisfaction in God, relational intimacy with Him. Delight in God is often expressed and grown through resilient joy under suffering.3-Jesus is the center of every endeavor to delight in God.These are some of the truths we ponder together through my book, Awaken Delight."Awaken Delight" is a theologically grounded spiritual formation book for thoughtful believers who feel spiritually fatigued, and ready to embrace the reality of delight in God.Find out more at https://www.gospelspice.com/awakendelight Support us on Gospel Spice, PayPal and Venmo!

Everyone is talking about how to practice detachment right now and most of it is being taught completely wrong: "Stop checking his Instagram. Stop refreshing your Stripe account at 2am. Let it go and it will come."So let's talk about the real law of detachment. Practicing detachment is not about a morning routine, a journal prompt or a breathing exercise you perform until the universe rewards you. The real detachment lives at a subconscious level, and until you detach from the outcome at that depth, you will keep repelling the very thing you are reaching for.And nowhere is this more obvious than in your business. I am pulling the curtain back on why your content, your launches and your quiet weeks feel so heavy right now, and what is actually happening underneath when you cannot detach from the outcome.And to show you exactly what this looks like in real life, I am taking you back to 2022, the wedding where I met Jack (now my fiancé and father of our daughter Ivy), too many Pornstar Martinis, the weird hair, the Eiffel Tower moment, and the EastEnders level drama that followed.If you have been trying to perform detachment instead of becoming it, this one is going to land.Topics covered on How to Practice Detachment:Why the mainstream version of detachment practice is being taught completely wrongWhat the real law of detachment looks like at a subconscious level, versus the performative version everyone is selling onlineThe difference between wanting something from internal certainty and wanting it from "I will only be okay when this arrives"The full story of how I met Jack at the wedding in 2022 and the subconscious reprogramming that had already happened before I walked inHow to actually detach from the outcome without pretending you do not care about itConnect with Rebecca Haydon:Apply to work with meThe Subconscious MembershipCome say hi on Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeRelated episodes you may enjoy:100.

Most people think negotiation is about winning. It's not. AJ and Johnny sit down with Attia and John to unpack why the best negotiators focus less on control and more on curiosity, relationships, and emotional regulation. From fear of rejection and reciprocity to fairness, empathy, and practicing rejection on purpose, this episode breaks down the real skills behind influence and lasting agreements. They also explore why most people fail negotiations before they even begin — because they haven't practiced discomfort, clarified what they actually want, or learned how to regulate emotions under pressure.

Dare To Dream with Debbi Dachinger Maja D'aoust, The Part of You You've Been Avoiding Is Actually Your Greatest Power What if the darkest parts of you aren't broken - they're just unfinished? Practicing witch, alchemist, and shadow work scholar Maja Daost joins Debbi Dachinger to reveal the truth about shadow integration that pop culture gets completely wrong. From dark archetypes like the cannibal mother and hubris to the hidden serpent power blocking humanity's access to its own source, Maja dismantles the watered-down version of shadow work and replaces it with something ancient, precise, and transformational. She also does a live card reading revealing the exact shadow preventing humanity from stepping into its power — and the antidote hiding in your reptilian brain. Your darkness isn't your enemy. It's your unfinished story. Topics: – The shocking truth about shadow self that pop culture gets wrong – What shadow really is: dark matter, death & the unconscious realm – Tools for shadow work: psychopomp, ancestors & underworld journeys – Dark archetypes vs. archetypes: the inversion that changes everything – The Shadow Seer Tarot: hands, cave art & the birth of a new deck – The cannibal mother, hubris & recognizing dark energies in your life – How to call someone out on shadow behavior without triggering defense – Synchronicity vs. omens: there's a crucial difference – Common shadow patterns destroying relationships & how to break them – LIVE card reading: what shadow is blocking humanity's power source – The serpent, the Nephilim & your reptilian brain as the antidote – First safe steps into shadow work without creating a crisis – Most transformative readings: healing disease & winning an election – Maja's next dream: rainbow light codes & color healing ABOUT THE GUEST: MAJA DAOST Maja Daoust is a practicing witch, scholar of alchemy and occult lore, transformational psychologist, and creator of the newly released Shadow Seer Tarot — published through Inner Traditions. With a master's degree in transformational psychology focusing on shamanism, the I Ching, and ancestral wisdom, Maja Daoust has spent over 20 years reading tarot and guiding clients through the hidden architecture of the psyche. Her work transpersonalizes the shadow, helping individuals and groups recognize dark archetypes, integrate unconscious patterns, and reclaim their original power source. She works as a live oracle, individual guide, and group facilitator — and deliberately stays off social media to protect client privacy and personal sovereignty.

A Spiritual Journey for the Unconverted - A Critique of Practicing the Way, presented by Barb Gretch and Bob DeWaay. We show that spiritual formation is not a biblical category. We address the spiritual process prescribed by Fuller Seminary and cited in Comer's book. It is appealing to religious consumers but fails to give them what they most need the gospel.

The people around you matter more than most people want to admit. Some raise your standards. Some quietly tolerate your growth. Some support your mission. Others make success harder than it needs to be. In this episode, Kevin and Alan break down the different types of people who influence your self-belief, boundaries, consistency, and long-term success.They look at why certain relationships become constraints, how ambition can trigger insecurity in others, and why real leadership means supporting people without abandoning yourself. This episode is about discernment, identity, psychological strength, and choosing alignment over approval.

Where we left off in 1 John, the churches were warned of false teachers, called antichrists, who were seeking to deceive everyone about the true identity of Jesus. Now, the old apostle tells the church to become what they already are. Having already been declared a child of God by faith in Christ, now the church is to put into practice the righteousness that results from faith. Twist: practicing righteousness may not be what you think it is. Righteous living is relational and not about an individual moral performance.------------------------------------------- Connect with us on Social Media ⁠Website⁠ | ⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠Threads⁠ | ⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠Vimeo⁠------------------------------------------- Download our App⁠Apple App Store⁠ | ⁠Google Play Store⁠

Practicing Love When You Mess Up (5.24.26, Maddie Abbott) by River NYC Sermons

In this conversation, Amy sits down with mindfulness teacher and writer Oneika Mays to talk about her new book, Sit with Me: A No-BS Journey to Mindfulness and Meditation—part memoir, part meditation guide, and an unflinching look at what it means to practice loving-kindness in real-world conditions, including inside Rikers Island. Oneika shares what it felt like to work inside a system built on hierarchy and dehumanization, the tension of receiving a salary inside a harmful structure, and the moment she realized that “the system isn't broken—it's working as designed.” From there, the conversation widens into the heart of metta: not as softness or spiritual bypassing, but as grounded, actionable love that can hold anger, boundaries, and truth-telling without losing our humanity. About Oneika and the BookBook: Sit with Me: A No-BS Journey to Mindfulness and Meditation (HarperOne / HarperCollins; on sale March 3, 2026). How Oneika describes it: “Meditation is for messy people… This book is part memoir, part meditation guide—and it's about showing up exactly as you are.” What You'll Hear in This EpisodeThe embodied “ick” of being treated as “one of us” by staff—how hierarchy shows up in small moments, tone shifts, and access.Why reform can get absorbed by a machine—and how “helping” can unintentionally make a harmful system look more palatable.The pivot from “fixing” to “serving,” and why that matters in any therapeutic or helping profession.Metta as a practice that includes righteous anger, loving accountability, and clear boundaries (not performative positivity).The inner work of not needing to be liked—and why unconditional love is not the same as being “nice.”A grounded call to action: personal responsibility, collective responsibility, and small acts that add up. Core Themes to Highlight (for your episode description)1) Metta is not performative softness. It's a disciplined practice of staying human—especially when it's inconvenient, when you're angry, and when you need boundaries.2) The “system” is not abstract—it's embodied. Hierarchy is felt through tone, access, positioning, and whose body is treated as more worthy.3) Serving is different than fixing. When we see people as broken, we become controlling or paternalistic. When we serve, we stay in relationship with wholeness.4) Choosing yourself can be an ethical act. Not as individualism, but as harm reduction—because depleted care can become harmful care.5) Collective change is built from small refusals. Not pre-agreeing to dehumanization. Practicing “no” with steadiness, clarity, and community. Resources Mentioned in the ConversationThe New Jim Crow — Michelle Alexander (recommended by Oneika in the episode)“Helping, Fixing, and Serving” — Rachel Naomi Remen (named in the episode)Sharon Salzberg's teaching stories on loving-kindness (referenced in the episode)Audre Lorde on self-care as self-preservation (referenced in the episode)Toni Morrison quote on freedom and responsibility (referenced in the episode)Timothy Snyder's guidance on resisting authoritarianism (Amy referenced at the end) Connect with OneikaWebsite: Oneika Mays www.OneikaMays.com Book Details and Where to Find ItSit with Me: A No-BS Journey to Mindfulness and Meditation is published by HarperOne and is listed as on sale March 3, 2026.

Food allergy anxiety in kids is real, and it does not always look like fear. It can show up as tantrums, clinginess, control-seeking behaviors, or a child who refuses to eat at a restaurant. Child life specialist and therapist Kelsey Mora joins Kortney and Dr. Payel Gupta to unpack what is really going on.  What we cover in our episode about managing anxiety in kids Food allergy anxiety does not always look like anxiety. Tantrums, clinginess, and control-seeking behaviors can all be signs that a child is struggling. Language matters from the start. How parents explain food allergies to young children can build confidence or quietly reinforce fear. Separation anxiety and food allergies are connected. Dependence on parents can make it harder for kids to navigate school, parties, and social situations on their own. Practicing independence at home builds real-world skills. Exposure to allergens in a safe home environment teaches confidence and communication skills kids need everywhere else. Passing parental anxiety onto kids. Co-regulation starts with the caregiver, when parents are anxious, kids have a harder time calming down.

This Mindfulness in Action episode is a real-time practice in mental agility: the ability to notice what's happening in your thoughts, emotions, and body, and make small adjustments that help you stay aligned with what matters.In the previous solo episode, I talked about mental agility from a more practical and educational lens: emotional agility, attentional agility, mindfulness, and the internal and external shifters that help us regulate and adapt. In this episode, we take those ideas out of the theoretical space and into real life.I recorded this while moving outside, because movement often helps me feel more embodied and aware of what's happening in my inner world. I talk about resilience, adaptability, psychological flexibility, and the constant adjustments we make as athletes, parents, partners, professionals, and humans trying to do hard things.This episode includes a short mindfulness practice to help you notice where you might feel rigid mentally, emotionally, or behaviorally, and then gently practice shifting. Here's what you'll learn:- Mental agility is resilience in motion- Hard things happen on many scales- Flexibility takes practice- Emotions need space- Small actions build capacityLINKS- Recently solo episode on mental agility- MIA: What It Means to Get Better- MIA: How to Build Human Connection--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.

In this episode, Tommy sits down with Shola Richards, known as The Kindness Extremist and Brother Teresa, to talk about what kindness actually looks like when life gets hard. Shola shares his story of moving from bullying, burnout, and a near tragic moment on an LA freeway to building a global mission around freakishly practical kindness. The conversation gets into the real difference between niceness and kindness, how to handle the toxic people in your life, and why the hardest person to be kind to is usually yourself.What You'll Hear in This Episode:Why kindness takes more courage than most people realizeShola's story of being highly sensitive, bullied, and burned out, and the moment that redirected his lifeThe clear difference between being nice and being kindSix warning signs of a truly toxic person versus someone just having a bad dayThe Just Like Me practice for staying open when you would normally judgeWhy forgiveness is an act of kindness toward yourself, not the person who hurt youA simple courtroom framework for cross-examining your own negative self-talkBox breathing, knowing your triggers, and other tools for staying responsive instead of reactiveTimestamps: (0:00) Intro(4:01) Shola's Story(8:28) Making kindness freakishly practical (14:05) Why kindness takes real courage (16:30) Niceness vs kindness (19:00) Six warning signs of a toxic person (26:23) Are we part of the flood (29:18) The 'Just Like Me' practice (33:24) What forgiveness really means (42:25) Boundaries as a backdoor kindness (45:47) Turning kindness toward yourself (49:29) The courtroom of the mind (55:47) Where to find SholaResources / Next Steps:Shola's website, thesholarichards.comThe Kindness Extremist PodcastShola on Substack and LinkedInCivil Unity by Shola RichardsGo Together Global

Understanding the Action Stage of ChangeIn today's episode we continue our Change Is Not Linear series exploring the Stages of Change model developed by James Prochaska and Carlo DiClemente.This episode explores the action stage, the stage where change becomes visible.Action is where people begin actively changing behaviours, creating new routines, interrupting old patterns, and practising a different way of living.But while action can look exciting from the outside, it is often one of the most emotionally vulnerable stages of change.In this episode we explore:Why action is more vulnerable than many people expectThe emotional intensity that often comes with early changeNervous system responses during behaviour changeThe difference between stopping a behaviour and building a new lifeIdentity shifts and becoming someone newRelationship changes and social discomfortWhy consistency matters more than perfectionThe “pink cloud” and what happens when motivation fadesSelf compassion during the change processWhy sustainable change is built through repetition and supportWe also talk about how healing is not about becoming a completely different person overnight, but about practising a new relationship with yourself one choice at a time.This episode is an invitation to honour the courage it takes to take action — especially when change feels uncomfortable, emotional, and uncertain.Journal Prompts & ReflectionWhat new way of being am I currently practising in my life?Am I expecting perfection instead of progress?What support structures help me stay connected to the version of myself I'm becoming?What old coping mechanisms am I still grieving?Where do I need more compassion for myself in the change process?What would it look like to trust that small consistent actions matter more than dramatic transformation?

John Mark Comer and the Mystical Union Error - A Critique of Practicing the Way, presented by Bob DeWaay and Barb Gretch. Is being "in Christ" the same as panentheism? Bob DeWaay explains that union with God is legal, not ontological. Believers are declared righteous through faith, not merged with God's essence. We also critique Comer's view of union with the Trinity. (duration 00:23:20) Click here to play

James Harden leads the Cavs over the Pistons and OG Anunoby practices while we track Max Fried's injury, Mets walk-offs, and the Orioles' shutout of the Yankees. We preview the Subway Series and PGA Championship amid LIRR strike threats and Matthew Schaefer's Rookie of the Year award, then pivot to Francisco Alvarez's surgery, Carl Pavano's divorce, and Aaron Judge's road trip struggles. Between celebrating Jalen Brunson and the NBA's tanking plan, we host young golfers, navigate Gio's softball coaching stress, and debate wine choices as the Braves dominate and transit issues loom.

James Harden turned back the clock as the Cavaliers took a 3-2 series lead over the Pistons. OG Anunoby practiced with the Knicks. Max Fried downplayed his elbow soreness, Jerry covered John Franco's post-surgery first pitch alongside Carson Benge's walk-off Mets win. We recapped the Orioles' 7-0 shutout of the Yankees, revisited Fried's injury comments, heard Mike Breen's call of the Cavs' OT victory, and celebrated Matthew Schaefer's surprise Rookie of the Year award on Good Morning America.

OG Anunoby is back practicing with the Knicks - we talk a little preview for the next series. Max Fried left yesterday's game with elbow soreness. Fried said he doesn't expect to be out long.
