3 Minutes Audio Devotional: Wrapped Up in God's Word is All You Need for Your Change to Come
A clear conscience is valuable, but it is not the ultimate standard
In this episode, we hear from Mikaela - a wife, mother to three girls, Christian birth doula and childbirth educator in QLD - as shares the story of her three very different births: from a traumatic emergency caesarean at 32 weeks after developing HELLP syndrome, preeclampsia and cholestasis, through to two hard-won VBACs in the years that followed.She speaks candidly about birth trauma, PTSD, NICU and special care experiences, navigating high-risk pregnancies with multiple autoimmune conditions, and the long process of rebuilding trust in herself and her body after her first birth. Along the way, we explore the realities of advocating for yourself within the system, the impact of hospitalisation and separation from your baby, and how knowledge, support and understanding physiological birth changed the way Michaela approached her later pregnancies and births.This conversation also touches on obstetric violence, induction after caesarean, premature rupture of membranes, special care policies, breastfeeding through medical complexity, and the emotional weight of mothering while navigating serious health challenges. Despite everything her body endured, Michaela's story is ultimately one of persistence, deep self-advocacy, and finding her own way through birth and motherhood on her terms.We hope you enjoy this story as much as we did hearing it!You can find Mikaela at @birth_by_design Please join us on our journey to bringing you all kinds of VBAC stories from across the country from here on in by subscribing and following us on social media, @australianvbacstories on Instagram and Australian VBAC Stories on Facebook.

A lot of what we've been talking about lately is durable skills — the abilities that last regardless of how our tools and tech environment change. In today's episode, I want to step back from the AI conversation and focus on one of the most durable skills of all: feedback. We've all been on both the giving and receiving side, and we can probably count on one hand the times someone gave us feedback that genuinely drove a good change — that left us wanting to do better without feeling torn down. So how do we accomplish that kind of feedback, on both sides of the table? That's what this episode is all about. Start With Your Goal, Not Your Frustration: Before you give feedback, recognize that your gut impulse often comes from a negative emotion — frustration, feeling slighted, feeling disrespected. Those feelings are valid signals that something is off, but they aren't a sufficient reason to give feedback. Effective feedback is goal-oriented: ask yourself what you actually want to change before you say a word. Premature vs. Mature Feedback: Premature feedback is really about making sure someone knows how you feel — which can quietly turn into an attack so they share your pain. Mature feedback is forward-looking and aimed at improvement. Venting may give you catharsis in the moment, but if the behavior worsens or the relationship is damaged, the net outcome is negative. Why Asking for Feedback Changes Everything: Even hearing "can we meet for ten minutes, I have some feedback" measurably raises your heart rate and pushes you into a defensive state. But when you ask for feedback, your mind and body register that you're in control — same information, completely different physiological response. Make It Behavior-Based and Specific: Good feedback is about observable behavior — what a camera would have caught — not someone's core identity. If your feedback violates a person's self-concept (painting a competent engineer as incompetent), they have to change who they believe they are to accept it, and that gap rarely gets bridged in a 30-minute call. Use a Model — But Add the Intervention: The popular SBI model (Situation, Behavior, Impact) is a strong backbone, but it stops short. Don't just describe the past — partner with the person on what comes next. Think of it as SBI + Intervention: what can you commit to trying differently so the impact changes? That's where feedback becomes coaching. The Netflix Four A's: Aim to assist, make it actionable, show appreciation, and accept or discard. Lead with the intent to help, get specific about the behavior, appreciate the person's willingness and intent, and recognize that not every piece of feedback will be useful — both sides get to keep what's valuable and let the rest go. Receiving Feedback Well: When someone hands you messy, un-modeled feedback, you can walk them through the framework — "help me understand the situation, what behavior did you see, what was the impact?" People respect that you're engaging, shift into problem-solving mode, and give you more actionable feedback as a result. Episode Homework: Pay attention to patterns over time. One piece of feedback shouldn't be attached to your identity — but three or four that point in the same direction are worth introspecting on. Career development and feedback are two sides of the same door; walk through it and you grow.

I recently reached out to a therapist for myself and realized how much the entire intake process sets the tone of the therapeutic alliance.In this episode, I share some suggestions for how we can hold a therapeutic frame with potential clients before the therapy starts. Not only will it improve the client experience, but setting accurate expectations can help clients make an accurate decision before consenting to therapy, and clients are less likely to cancel before the first session (like I did!).

In this episode, we are joined once again by Philippe Schafer, a doctor of physical therapy practicing in New York City who specializes in men's pelvic health. After his powerful first appearance on the show — where we explored the surprising role the pelvic floor plays in erectile dysfunction — Philippe returns to take us even deeper into territory that affects far more men than anyone talks about. With advanced certifications from the Herman & Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute and a background in strength and conditioning coaching, Philippe continues to bring the same rigorous, whole-body, root-cause approach to one of the most silently suffered sexual challenges men face: premature ejaculation. Premature ejaculation is one of the most shame-ridden and chronically underreported conditions in men's sexual health — and yet, as Philippe explains, it is also one of the most fixable. This conversation breaks down what PE actually is, why so many men suffer in silence, and how pelvic floor dysfunction sits at the center of a problem most clinicians treat as purely psychological or neurological. Philippe walks us through his comprehensive head-to-toe physical assessment — covering the thoracic spine, lumbar spine, hips, core, and the three layers of pelvic floor muscles — and explains why tightness, weakness, poor breathing mechanics, and overall conditioning all play a direct role in ejaculatory control.

Sophie Smith thought she was about to become a mother to three baby boys. Instead, after going into premature labour halfway through her pregnancy, she and her husband Ash found themselves facing unimaginable heartbreak. Over the course of 82 days, they lost all three of their triplets; Henry, Evan and Jasper. In this deeply moving conversation with Kate Langbroek, Sophie speaks about those months of hope and heartbreak, the grief that followed, and the extraordinary way she and Ash channelled that pain into purpose by founding Running for Premature Babies — a charity that has since helped save the lives of thousands of premature babies across Australia. Sophie also opens up about the second devastating loss that would change her life forever: losing Ash to brain cancer in 2016, after years of treatment and remission, and what it meant to continue raising their two young sons while carrying such enormous grief. This episode is about motherhood, resilience, love, loss, and the ways we learn to keep going even after life turns out nothing like we imagined.

Beyond the NICU: How Small Moments Shape a Developing BrainHow early experiences and neuroprotective care shape brain development and long-term outcomesWhat happens in the NICU does not end at discharge. In this episode, we take a deeper look at the lasting impact of NICU care and how early experiences shape a child's brain development and long-term outcomes. While many are familiar with the major complications of prematurity, we explore the often less visible—and frequently underestimated—effects sometimes referred to as “minor" or co- morbidities, and why there is nothing minor about their impact.We discuss how the premature brain is still developing, how stress and the NICU environment influence that development, and what happens when the stress response system develops under stress. More importantly, we walk through tangible, practical ways—core measures drawn from established models and frameworks—that support neuroprotective, family-centered, and developmentally supportive care in the NICU.This episode is for both NICU parents and clinicians. If you are a current NICU parent, you'll learn ways you can actively support your baby and feel more confident in your role. If your child is a NICU graduate, this episode may help explain some of the experiences and challenges you've seen—and remind you that you are not alone. And for clinicians, this is a powerful reminder of the impact you have every single day, and how small, intentional choices can shape the trajectory of a child's life.Because NICU care is not just about survival. It's about how we help these children grow, develop, and thrive long after they go home.Dr. Brown's Medical: https://www.drbrownsmedical.com The Infant-Driven Feeding™ (IDF) Program: https://www.infantdrivenfeeding.com/ Our NICU Roadmap: A Comprehensive NICU Journal: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/nicujournal/ NICU Mama Hats: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/hats/ NICU Milestone Cards: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/nicuproducts/ Newborn Holiday Cards: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/shop/ Empowering NICU Parents Show Notes: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/shownotes/ Episode 80 Show Notes: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/episode80 Empowering NICU Parents Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/empoweringnicuparents/ Empowering NICU Parents FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweringnicuparents Pinterest Page: https://pin.it/36MJjmHThank you for listening to the Empowering NICU Parents Podcast.

The NEC SocietyKey Takeaways:Small gestures matter profoundly: Healthcare providers' thoughtful touches—photographs, decorations, keepsakes, and holiday participation—provide immeasurable comfort to grieving families and create lasting memories.Trust your instincts: Pregnant individuals should never hesitate to contact their healthcare provider about unusual symptoms; early detection can be life-saving for both mother and baby.The human element is irreplaceable: While medical expertise is essential, the emotional support and presence of compassionate caregivers create a healing environment that families remember forever.Grief can fuel purpose: Parents who have lost children can honor their memory through advocacy and support work, transforming personal tragedy into meaningful change for other families.Patient-family partnerships improve care: Including families in quality improvement initiatives brings essential perspective that helps healthcare providers communicate more effectively and compassionately.Quotable Moments"Those little keepsakes that we do have are so, so meaningful.""Even when parents aren't saying it, they feel the gratitude. And so just because someone's not saying thank you, then just know that your work is so important.""It keeps him alive for me. It keeps him here. And his spirit through mom is helping other families and other babies.""If there's something that doesn't feel right, they would so much rather you call them and then get to say, There's nothing for you to worry about.""It's not the worst thing in the world. And if anything, you get a lot of extra special attention and your babies are loved by so many other people as well."Show Notes by BarevalueNo content or comments made in any TIPQC Healthy Mom Healthy Baby Podcast is intended to be comprehensive or medical advice.

The conversation reveals a fundamental truth: in embedded Linux, the CPU is rarely the bottleneck. Mohammed walks us through his systematic approach to performance problems, starting with simple tools like HTOP before diving into specialized instrumentation. We discuss the critical difference between VM size and VM RSS for memory analysis, why dumping console output can kill boot times, and how to leverage kernel configurations for maximum diagnostic bang-for-buck. Mohammed emphasizes the importance of building instrumentation into systems from day one—not for premature optimization, but to give your future self the data needed when problems inevitably surface. The discussion also touches on how LLMs can accelerate the learning curve for complex tools like Valgrind and perf, while stressing that physical reality remains the ultimate arbiter of system performance. Key Topics [03:15] The surface area problem: why embedded Linux profiling requires a tool chest, not just a toolbox [06:30] Case study: debugging a scientific instrument that crashed after 60-minute runs [08:45] VM size vs. VM RSS: understanding the critical difference in memory analysis [14:20] Why the CPU is rarely the bottleneck: coprocessors, DMA, and crypto engines [18:50] Essential kernel configurations: function tracer, perf, and config kallsyms [24:10] File system bottlenecks: moving from CSV files to SQLite for data integrity [28:40] Boot time optimization: why console output is one of the biggest time sinks [32:15] Premature optimization vs. smart instrumentation: building in diagnostic capability from day one [38:25] Leveraging LLMs for visualization and analysis of perf data and Valgrind output [43:50] The first five commands: starting with HTOP and working down to specialized tools Notable Quotes "When you first get started, you have generally this arrogance that like, oh, it works fine. I've tested it. It's good to go. But then as you get more experience, as you become a more senior-level engineer, that arrogance, you start to kind of strip away a lot of that arrogance. You get humbled pretty quickly." — Mohammed Billoo "The CPU is very rarely the bottleneck because it's meant to, and the drivers are implemented in Linux in such a way that they're intelligent enough that they can hand off a lot of the things of the CPU to coprocessors so that the CPU is really idle." — Mohammed Billoo "I don't convince myself of a claim that I'm making until I have data to back it up. So I don't say, oh, you know, this is working fine. Like, well, again, what does fine mean? Or, you know, what does well mean? And what is the data to prove that?" — Mohammed Billoo Resources Mentioned HTOP - Interactive process viewer for Linux - Mohammed's first tool for getting a high-level view of system performance perf - Linux profiling tool with performance counters - requires kernel configuration to enable LTTng - Linux Trace Toolkit Next Generation - provides visibility across both user space and kernel space Valgrind - Memory debugging and profiling tool for detecting memory leaks iperf - Network throughput measurement tool with server and client components GStreamer - Multimedia framework with built-in tools for per-frame timestamp analysis Tracealyzer - Visualization tool for LTTng and other performance data SQLite - Embedded database recommended for data integrity over CSV files in embedded systems Embedded Linux Essentials Handbook - Mohammed Billoo's book published by Packt Mab Labs - Mohammed Billoo's embedded solutions consultancy with blog on embedded Linux topics You can find Jeff at https://jeffgable.com.You can find Luca at https://luca.engineer.Want to join the agile Embedded Slack?

Are you always trying to be perfect? Every day we face thousands of decisions that can either help us break free or tie us in knots. Today, we look at the sometimes overwhelming decision process that can affect triathletes in training, racing, and life. We get into premature optimization, how you should build your cake (base), and eventually ask if it's "decision" fatigue or "precision" fatigue. We talk about the idea of always feeling judged and graded and how that can wear out our love for the sport. We look at the differences between inside riding and outside. We talk about dealing with the elements without a second thought. We also look at how to get to the top and spoiler alert, it's not by skipping steps. When we boil it down, it all comes back to honoring the intent of your workouts.

Celebrated Orban's defeat-That may have been premature by James M. Dorsey
Ireland is one of the richest countries in Europe, so why does it feel like it isn't? We sit down with economist and engineer Sinead O'Sullivan to unpack a deceptively simple but deeply uncomfortable idea: Ireland is a premature state. Despite extraordinary wealth on paper, everyday life tells a different story. Housing is broken, infrastructure lags behind, public services struggle to deliver. So where is all the money going? The answer, as Sinead argues, is structural. Ireland has become exceptionally good at spending money, but never properly learned how to build systems. For centuries, key functions of the state were outsourced, first to the British Empire, then the Church, then the EU, and now multinational corporations. The result is a country rich in resources, but lacking the institutional muscle to turn that wealth into a functioning society. We also take on the reaction to this kind of thinking; the “nitpickers” who focus on minor details to avoid confronting big, uncomfortable truths. If Ireland's problem isn't money, but capacity, then the implications are far more serious than any short-term fix. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

BUFFALO, NY — April 17, 2026 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 18 of Aging-US on April 3, 2026, titled “Modeling premature aging in yeast via the expression of Progerin.” The study was led by first author Zachery R. Belak from the University of Saskatchewan, and corresponding author Troy A.A. Harkness from the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Alberta. The team developed a yeast-based model to study premature aging by expressing Progerin, the toxic protein responsible for Hutchinson–Gilford Progeria Syndrome. Using genetically engineered yeast cells, they compared the effects of Progerin with its normal counterpart, Lamin A, to better understand how protein accumulation impacts cellular aging. Their findings show that Progerin expression leads to slower cell growth, increased genome instability, and a significant reduction in chronological lifespan. In contrast, Lamin A did not produce the same harmful effects, highlighting the specific role of Progerin in driving premature aging phenotypes. The study also demonstrates that Progerin accumulates in aging mother cells and remains more stable than Lamin A, suggesting a mechanism by which damaged or toxic proteins are retained during the aging process. These observations mirror what has been reported in human cells, reinforcing the relevance of this model system. “Taken together, expression of Progerin in yeast cells mimics what is observed in human cells, establishing yeast as a powerful model to discover genetic mechanisms driving premature and normal aging.” Overall, the researchers present a practical and efficient model for studying the biological mechanisms underlying premature aging. Their work provides a valuable platform for testing new strategies aimed at reducing toxic protein accumulation and improving cellular health during aging.

BUFFALO, NY — April 15, 2026 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 18 of Aging-US on March 30, 2026, titled “A manually curated gene–phenotype catalogue for progeroid syndromes and premature aging.” The study was led by Nuša Likar and Tanja Kunej from the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. The researchers developed a comprehensive, manually curated catalogue integrating data from 84 scientific publications and the OMIM database. The resulting resource systematically organizes genetic and clinical information on progeroid syndromes, linking 144 genes to 56 syndromes and 160 distinct clinical entities, making it one of the most extensive datasets in this field to date. Using genome–phenome association analysis and protein–protein interaction networks, the study reveals the complex genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity underlying premature aging disorders. The findings highlight strong enrichment in genome maintenance and DNA repair pathways, reinforcing their central role in aging biology. The catalogue also demonstrates how single genes, such as LMNA, can be associated with multiple syndromes, illustrating the pleiotropic nature of genetic variants in progeroid conditions and their broader relevance to human aging mechanisms. “Overall, this study provides a reference resource and framework to support future research into premature aging syndromes and their broader implications for understanding physiological aging.” Overall, the authors present a valuable framework for improving the classification, diagnosis, and study of rare premature aging disorders. Their work not only advances understanding of progeroid syndromes but also offers important insights into the biological processes that drive normal human aging.

Host: Melissa Hadley Barrett Guest: Richard Connell Category: Men's Sexual Health | Peyronie's Disease | Penile Rehabilitation | Erectile Dysfunction Episode Summary: Peyronie's disease can affect much more than the penis. It can impact confidence, intimacy, relationships, and emotional wellbeing. Many men suffer in silence or give up on treatment when it feels too hard, too uncomfortable, or too embarrassing to talk about. Episode Description: In this follow-up episode of The Penis Project Podcast, Melissa Hadley Barrett welcomes back Richard Connell, inventor of the Comfort Grip, to talk about what's changed since his first appearance on the show (Episode 194). If you've ever struggled with the original RestoreX clamp (or any traction device) slipping, pinching, bruising, or simply being too awkward to use consistently, this episode is packed with practical insights. Melissa and Richard discuss why so many men give up on traction therapy too early, and how small design changes can make a huge difference to comfort, confidence, and long-term results. Richard explains how the Comfort Grip helps men who find the standard clamp too painful, too fiddly, or too difficult to reach in a flaccid state. The conversation also explores his newer innovation, the Comfort Bend, which is designed to make counter bending more comfortable by reducing pressure points and improving the way force is distributed during treatment. Melissa also shares what she's seeing in clinic, including how these add-ons are helping men stay consistent with traction therapy, especially those with Peyronie's disease, penile shortening, or difficulty tolerating the original setup. The episode finishes with a broader discussion about innovation in men's health, the lag between clinical evidence and real-world problem-solving, and why practical, low-risk solutions matter so much in this space. In this episode we cover: Why some men find penile traction therapy difficult to tolerate Common problems with the standard RestoreX clamp, including slipping and discomfort How the Comfort Grip may help improve comfort and usability What the Comfort Bend is and why it may help with counter bending Why consistency matters in Peyronie's disease treatment The challenges some uncircumcised men may experience with traction devices Why practical solutions in men's health can make a real difference How better support and better design may help men stay engaged in treatment About Richard Connell: Richard Connell is the inventor of the Comfort Grip, an accessory designed to improve comfort and usability for men using the RestoreX penile traction device. His work has focused on solving the real problems men report when trying to use traction therapy consistently, including pain, slipping, awkward setup, and difficulty with counterbending.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, the war against the Iranian regime, though only a few weeks old, is going very well. Voices of despair—some genuine, many contrived—are widespread but do not reflect broad reality. The President's base remains solidly supportive. Opposition comes loudly from Democrats, Woke Reich isolationists and a public heavily influenced by uniformly negative media coverage and social media operations. Premature cessation of this war would be devastating, allowing the regime to rebuild with aid from China, Russia, and North Korea, delivering a major victory to the Axis of Evil. The U.S. needs to stay the course. A premature end to the Operation Epic Fury, without fully eliminating the regime, risks repeating the mistakes after World War I, when a devastated Germany gave rise to the Third Reich and led to World War II and the Holocaust. Meanwhile, we have the opposition in America from the neo-fascists, Marxists, Islamists, Woke Reich, and parts of the media who are trying to tie the administration's hands by opposing any troops, regime change, or action on the uranium, effectively ensuring America cannot win. President Donald Trump is trying to take the reins with an executive order aimed at restricting birthright citizenship only to those born here to actual citizens or legal permanent residents. This isn't just a legal matter; it has profound implications for our elections. Democrats see an opportunity here, they're ready to exploit our immigration system to pad their voter rolls. In addition, one of the notable trends surrounding birthright citizenship involves Chinese nationals who are increasingly using this provision to secure U.S. citizenship for their children. Peter Schweizer describes this as a phenomenon occurring on an industrial scale. Such a trend raises pressing concerns about national security and the long-term consequences for American institutions. Also, Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed compared the radicalism of Iran to the MAGA movement. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
On Monday's Mark Levin Show, the war against the Iranian regime, though only a few weeks old, is going very well.

Premature cessation of this war would be devastating, allowing the regime to rebuild with aid from China, Russia, and North Korea, delivering a major victory to the Axis of Evil. The U.S. needs to stay the course. Meanwhile, the media and anti-Trump, anti-American military elements from both the radical right and left have reduced complex issues to simplistic slogans like "boots on the ground" or "forever wars," rather than engaging intelligently. This sloganeering is Marxist-Leninist propaganda techniques. The goal is preventing enemies from acquiring nuclear weapons through strength, not appeasement like paying billions, lifting sanctions, or begging. Also, where is the outrage over the slaughter of Christians in Syria and Nigeria, and the extreme brutalization of women and girls under Islamist ideology? This is deeply disturbing and shocking. Afterward, the conservative and constitutional movements, the Republican Party, and the nation were far better off before the rise of podcasters like Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and others. They are not true MAGA, populists, nationalists, or constitutionalists, but megalomaniacs and manipulators who are destroying the movement from within. Learn more about your ad choices.

If your sexual experiences feel predictable… limited to friction in the genitals… and always ending the same way, this video is going to open up an entirely new dimension for you. In this training, I teach you Sacrum Breathing — a foundational Sexual Kung Fu practice that activates the sacral pump and helps move sexual energy up the spine instead of leaking it outward through ejaculation.Most men are locked up in their hips and lower back. That tension traps arousal in the genitals, which leads to:• Premature ejaculation• Erectile dysfunction• Decreased pleasure over time• Energy depletion after sexWhen you learn to activate the sacrum properly, you create a pathway between your genitals and your brain. Your body stops being a tension container… and becomes an orgasm generator.This practice strengthens kidney energy (in Chinese medicine), improves sexual vitality, and trains your nervous system to circulate arousal through the entire body — not just rush toward ejaculation.This is one piece of the larger Sexual Kung Fu training I teach inside my Multi-Orgasmic Man program.Get my FREE Ebook - 3 Techniques for Legendary Ejaculation Control:
Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. In today's episode, we take a step back and take a look at the holistic picture that brought the US and Israel to declare war on the rapacious Iranian regime. We discuss attempts to initiate high-level negotiations with Iran and the potential consequences of a "premature" ceasefire. Turning our gaze to Lebanon and Gaza, Horovitz describes how toppling Iran may be easier than the elusive "total victory" in Gaza or the suppression of Hezbollah in Lebanon. We finish our conversation with a brief review of the stagnant status quo in Gaza amid a new effort from the Board of Peace to inject new momentum into the disarmament of Hamas.

Welcome to the February Q&A! We begin with a brief reflection on a mother's need to find time for play (not with her children but for herself) and creativity during early parenthood, before diving into your questions. Today's episode addresses a common pattern in maternity care: past birth experiences being used by providers to justify predetermined interventions in subsequent pregnancies.One listener asked, do women need to get out of the tub for fetal heart rate decels, and is this based on policy or physiology? Is Pitocin given after heavy bleeding in a prior birth justifiable for routine use in a subsequent birth? Additionally, we explore the long-term impact of episiotomies and membrane sweeps performed without consent, and address myths about posterior (OP) babies and whether those conditions are mother-specific or unique to each pregnancy. Finally, we talk about water breaking before labor and how much time most women realistically have before intervention is generally recommended (and whether it is actually needed).As always, we close with quickies, including our best beauty tips (no, it is not a product you can buy).Thank you for the excellent questions.
