Coach Bret Burchard discussed his work with Championship Shift, a mindset training company that helps coaches and athletes compete and lead with confidence, resilience, and humility. Bret shared his experience as a former NBA and college basketball coach, emphasizing the importance of leading for impact rather than validation. He explained how coaches can maintain their passion and effectiveness by reconnecting with the reasons they started coaching, managing their mindset in high-pressure situations, and building a strong team culture. Bret also highlighted the need for coaches to constantly re-engage their players with the vision and purpose of the team, as engagement is not linear but requires ongoing effort. The episode concluded with Bret offering advice for coaches who didn't have a great season, encouraging them to face reality, challenge themselves with innovative solutions, and focus on building strong relationships.Bret Burchard is the co-founder of ChampionShift where he helps elite coaches build high-performing teams fast.

Discussion QuestionsSermon Overview Persevere in trusting and imitating Jesus in the hope of reigning with Jesus.I. Jesus redefines greatness as serving like him (vv. 24-27)II. Jesus redirects our hope to reigning with him (vv. 28-30)III. Jesus reframes success as repentance toward him (vv. 31-34)IV. Jesus resets our expectations to rejection like him (vv. 35-38)Digging Deeper    Read Luke 22:24-38Jesus redefines greatness as serving like him (vv. 24-27)1. What might be some indicators that our concept of the nature of greatness has been shaped by the world more than we might want to admit?2. What is one way you can find yourself tempted to use authority to serve yourself, rather than those around you?3. How can we guard against that?Jesus redirects our hope to reigning with him (vv. 28-30)4. What in this life do you find yourself tempted to put your hope in?5. Why is that a bad idea?6. Practically speaking, what might it look like for the hope of our hearts to be directed toward reigning with Christ? Jesus reframes success as repentance toward him (vv. 31-34)7. What does it mean to say that success in the Christian life is repentance? 8. Where do we see this in the text (vv. 31-34)?9. What is at stake here? In other words, what are the consequences of failing to understand this truth? Jesus resets our expectations to rejection like him (vv. 35-38)10. Is it our expectation that, like the One we follow, in this life, we will need to endure suffering for the Gospel?  If not, why not? 11. In v. 37, Jesus says that he fulfills Isaiah 53:12: “And he was numbered with the transgressors.” (v. 37). How does Jesus' death in the place of sinners (like you and me) make possible what he is calling us to in this passage? In other words, how does Christ's substitutionary sacrifice for us enable us to live out what he is calling for in the four reorientations highlighted in this passage?Prayer

My voice might be a little raspy… but I'm fired up.In this episode of The Loveall Sales Podcast, I break down why sales is the greatest industry in the world — and why most people never come close to reaching their full potential in it.Sales built me.I was an introvert. I didn't even want to talk to people.A mentor believed in me before I believed in myself — and that belief changed my life.But here's the truth:With great ability comes great responsibility.Talent without character is dangerous.Ability without discipline is wasted.And freedom without accountability destroys careers.In this episode, I cover:Why most salespeople have “one year of experience” repeated for a decadeWhy mastering every prospecting channel (showroom, internet, service drive, Facebook Marketplace, and especially the PHONE) is non-negotiableHow I closed 70–81% of showroom traffic and why the national averages are unacceptableThe lost art of the phone — and why it separates elite performers from average onesWhy self-worth limits incomeWhy mentorship compresses decades into yearsWhy dealerships are leaking millions by refusing to invest in trainingThe real reason 42% of automotive salespeople quit within 90 daysThis isn't motivational fluff.This is about skill set.Mindset.Habits.Discipline.Preparation.Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance.Sales will give you everything you want — but only if you're willing to become the person capable of earning it.If you're content being average, this episode isn't for you.If you want to dominate your market, master the phone, grow your income, and build a life you're proud of — this is for you.I am on a mission to elevate this industry.If you're a salesperson, manager, GM, or dealer principal and you're serious about growth — reach out.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the one-hundredth-and-thirty-fifth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by MAJ Marc Howle, the Brigade Senior Engineer / Protection Observer-Coach-Trainer, and MAJ David Pfaltzgraff, BDE Executive Officer OCT, from Brigade Command & Control (BDE HQ) on behalf of the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guests are intelligence and operations subject matter experts from across JRTC: MAJ Michael Stewart is the BDE S-3 Operations Officer OCT, MAJ Edward Pecararo is the BDE S-2 Intelligence OIC OCT, and MSG Randell Conway is the BDE S-2 Intelligence NCOIC OCT from the Brigade Command & Control (BDE HQ) plus the BN S-2 Intelligence OCT, CPT Nathaniel Epps from TF-5 (Brigade Engineer Battalion).   This episode dives into Mission Analysis within the MDMP process, focusing specifically on Intelligence Preparation of the Operational Environment (IPOE)—or as framed at JRTC, Staff Preparation of the Operational Environment (SPOE). A central theme is dispelling the myth that IPOE is solely an S2 responsibility. The panel emphasizes that effective SPOE requires a whole-of-staff effort, integrating all warfighting functions to build shared understanding of terrain, threat capabilities, and operational variables. Key outputs discussed include the modified combined obstacle overlay (MCOO), clearly defined areas of operations and interest, civil considerations, threat courses of action, and the development of event templates and event matrices. The conversation reinforces that these products are not checklist items but foundational tools that drive collection planning, targeting, decision support matrices, and ultimately course of action development.     The discussion also highlights common failure points—treating IPOE as a one-time event, failing to update PIRs as operations evolve, and neglecting to refine running estimates between phases. Leaders stress that predictive analysis suffers when staffs become plan-focused instead of threat-focused, losing sight of enemy capabilities in time and space. Effective SPOE requires continuous refinement, aggressive assessment of collection, integration with reconnaissance and fires, and disciplined maintenance of a shared intelligence picture across echelons. Ultimately, the episode frames mission analysis not as a procedural step to “get through,” but as the intellectual fight that enables commanders to anticipate enemy decisions, shape the battlefield, and close both the intelligence and targeting kill chains in LSCO.     Part of S13 “Hip Pocket Training” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please check-out our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

Common Mistakes During Family Business Estate Planning Estate planning is technical. Family business estate planning is emotional. Because in a family enterprise, wealth is never just capital. It represents identity. Sacrifice. Legacy. Control. Protection. And when estate planning is driven by fear instead of preparation, families don't just protect assets — they unintentionally weaken the people who must steward them. In this episode of The Family Biz Show, wealth psychologist Jim Grubman, co-author of Wealth 3.0, challenges the most common assumptions shaping multi-generational estate planning. What he reveals reframes everything.   The 70% Myth That Built an Industry You've heard it: "Seventy percent of wealth transfers fail by the second generation." It's repeated in boardrooms. It's cited in advisor presentations. It's used to justify complex trust structures and control mechanisms. But where did it actually come from? Jim explains how limited, narrow research became accepted as universal truth — and how that narrative shaped decades of defensive estate planning. When founders believe generational decline is inevitable, they design structures around protection instead of development. Fear becomes policy.   Exposure Is Not Preparation Many G1 leaders assume: "My kids grew up around this business. They've seen it. They'll figure it out." But as one next-generation leader put it: "Just because I was along for the ride doesn't mean I know how to drive." Estate planning often transfers ownership without transferring capability. Preparation is not passive. It requires: Intentional financial education Decision-making responsibility Governance participation Clear communication Without these, wealth transitions become fragile.   The Hidden Estate Planning Variable: Parenting The quiet truth behind most generational breakdowns? It's not tax law. It's not structure. It's not even governance. It's parenting. Jim calls it the "hidden dirty little secret" of wealth. Families often assume they can raise children the same way they were raised — even when their economic reality has completely changed. But wealth changes context. Context requires adaptation. If parenting doesn't evolve, tension accumulates. And no trust structure can fix that.   The Language That Shapes Legacy One of the most powerful insights in this episode is linguistic. "Shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves in three generations." It's not even a complete sentence. There's no verb. No inevitability. Just assumption. Yet families internalize it as destiny. And when inevitability is assumed, estate plans become restrictive. Control increases. Trust decreases. Narrative drives structure. Structure drives outcomes.   Adaptation Is the Real Strategy Successful multi-generational families ask three questions: What should we keep? What should we let go? What must we learn? Estate planning is not static. Every generation faces: Different markets Different personalities Different spouses Different pressures Replication does not guarantee continuity. Adaptation does.   Key Takeaways • The "70% wealth transfer failure" statistic is often overstated and misunderstood. • Fear-based estate planning leads to over-control and restrictive structures. • Exposure to wealth does not equal readiness to manage it. • Preparation for generational transition must be active and intentional. • Parenting and communication are central to long-term wealth continuity. • Language and inherited narratives shape governance decisions. • Estate planning should focus on developing capable stewards — not just protecting assets.   The Real Purpose of Family Business Estate Planning Estate planning is not primarily about minimizing taxes. It is about aligning: Wealth and capability Structure and trust Protection and preparation Family identity and future leadership When estate planning is fear-driven, families fragment. When it is preparation-driven, families flourish. This episode is a masterclass in reframing estate planning from defensive preservation to intentional generational development. Because wealth doesn't fail. Preparation does.

Most golfers think performance is a two-part equation: talent + hard work. Craig Domann says that's exactly why so many players stay stuck—because when results don't match effort, they start hunting for shortcuts: a new driver, a new swing coach, a new "hack" to finally feel confident. But Craig's worked with 300+ NFL athletes and coaches over 30 years, and he's seen the real separator up close: Mindset is the multiplier. Not the motivational-poster version of mindset—Craig means your story, your standards, your ability to play an inside game (you vs. you), and your capacity to detach from outcomes when the moment gets loud. This conversation is a blueprint for anyone chasing the next level—on the course, in business, and in life—especially if you've ever felt behind before you even tee it up. In this episode, you'll learn: Why mindset is the missing variable that lets you outperform your "expected" ceiling How your inner story shows up in "Olympic moments" (first tee, final holes, big meetings) The difference between playing an inside game vs. outside game (and why 90% get trapped) Why "going all-in" requires vulnerability—and how fear of judgment keeps you small The hidden enemy of elite performance: comfort, convenience, and entitlement How to use detachment to access flow when stakes, money, or validation creep in Craig's P5 framework: Preparation, Practice, Pit Crew, Preview, Process Get your pencils ready and start listening.  Apply for 1-1 Mindset and Performance Coaching: Click here to apply to work with me.

Your "Olympic moment" story is the real story: what you tell yourself when you're outdriven, on the first tee, or protecting a lead is what determines execution. Self-belief is built on self-love: most people carry years of "trash" and scar tissue into every round unless they learn to release it and rewrite the narrative. Elite performers play an inside game: less comparison, less social-media validation, more "me vs. me" autonomy and self-trust under pressure. Going all-in is the true price of elite: it's vulnerable (like showing your cards in poker), and most people avoid that exposure more than they want to win. Detachment unlocks flow: counting money, accolades, sponsors, or "what this means" creates interference; "nothing to lose" is why comebacks happen. Comfort competes with success: entitlement and convenience justify skipped reps; rest matters, but it must be scheduled intentionally and paired with proper pace. Key Quotes: "When you add your God given ability, plus the training and the hard work you put in, and then your mindset, you can actually outperform what people think you should be able to do." "The story that shows up in those Olympic moments… is the story we tell ourselves." "It's belief in love. It's self-belief and self-love." "They have the uncanny ability to play an inside game instead of an outside game." "To truly be elite, you've got to have the courage and the guts to go all in with no safety net." "The best place to reside is to be in the uncomfortable zone." "The story you tell yourself needs to be on that billboard… because that's your swing thought."

Preparation is usually praised as discipline, but sometimes, it's the safest place to hide. In this episode, we explore how high performers use prep work, planning, and self-improvement to delay the very thing that would move their life forward: exposure. From over-refining ideas to rehearsing conversations we never have, preparation can quietly become a form of resistance, one that looks responsible on the outside while keeping us stuck on the inside. Drawing from personal experience, this episode unpacks how preparation can preserve potential, protect identity, and avoid feedback while slowly eroding self-trust. This is a conversation about the difference between getting ready and showing up. The post 308: Hiding in the Prep Work: When Preparation Becomes Avoidance appeared first on .

Most high performers chase ceilings: bigger goals, more revenue, bigger stages. Steve argues that what actually determines whether you feel steady in the moments that matter is your floor, your daily standards, mindset, and behaviors when no one is watching. He breaks down how “growth resistance” shows up subtly (protecting identity, reputation, competence), and why the path forward isn't hype or intensity… it's alignment.Key takeaways:Goals as “ceilings” vs. standards as your “floor”Why pressure exposes weak foundations (even when you look prepared)Effort vs. standards: the difference between looking ready and being ready“Growth resistant” behavior: protecting identity after failureGrowth resilience: treating failure as data and adjusting standardsMicrosoft / Satya Nadella “learn-it-all vs know-it-all” as a standards shiftAlignment over intensity: raising your floor to match rising stakesReflection prompt: “What is my floor right now—and is it built for what I'm pursuing?”Links & resources mentionedSatya Nadella / Microsoft culture shift (learn-it-alls vs know-it-alls)Send a textSupport the showConnect with Steve Mellor Stay connected and keep growing with Steve: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-mellor-cc/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/coachstevemellor Book Steve to speak at your next event → www.stevemellorspeaks.com Support the GrowthReady Podcast by leaving a 5-star rating → Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/growthready-podcast/id1406082163 Connect with GrowthReady Join the community and keep your growth journey going: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/wearegrowthready/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/growthreadypodcast/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/growthreadywithcoachstevemellor Official Website - https://growthready.com/ ---- This podcast was produced on Riverside and released via ...

A Knee Recovery Nightmare! Right Total Knee Replacement My Physical and Emotional Fight Against Pain Hypersensitivity and Protective Muscle Guarding – written by Cathy Banovac – interview by Lisa Pelley and Mary Elliott – Cathy was coached by Erin Rempher, PTA My name is Cathy and I reside in Arizona. I am 57 years old, a homemaker, and have had a genetic history of chronic osteoarthritis.  From a very young age, I have always had a very low pain threshold.  Prior to the commencement of pain in my knee, I considered myself a fairly fit and active person…loved gardening, entertaining family and friends, cooking, crafting, playing golf, traveling with my husband, walking our dogs, and playing with our grandchildren. Life was good! Early Summer In addition to the normal aches and pains that come with aging, I began to experience more than usual pain in my right knee.  I was experiencing daily occurrences of popping/clicking, giving out when walking at times, difficulty negotiating steps or stairs, and nightly interrupted sleep due to pain.  Over the counter medications, icing, heat, etc. was no longer managing my symptoms.  Upon visiting an orthopedic surgeon for examination and subsequent imaging, I learned I was over 70% bone on bone in my right knee joint.  I was told I was looking at a total knee replacement.  I was preparing to head to Michigan for a family vacation on the lake with my kiddos in August, so was not happy to hear this news.  I convinced my doctor to give me a steroid injection just to buy me the time I needed to take my vacation.  He was reluctant and told me that he predicted it would do nothing to help my condition at the very least or, at the very most, last for a brief time.  I made it through the trip, yet 3 weeks post-injection the symptoms had returned. No More Injections My surgeon declined my request for another injection, instead reiterating my need for the TKR.  Over previous years, I had witnessed my mother, father, husband and a few friends have knee replacement surgeries.  All came through their surgeries with what appeared to me to be a fairly pain controlled, timely recovery and successful return to their regular daily activities.  I was told I was on the younger side for this type of procedure, nevertheless, would greatly benefit from extended quality of life and return to desired activity, given my current quality of life and daily activity was becoming more diminished by the day. My Knee Replacement I underwent RTKR on September 25.  All went well and as expected with the surgery.  I was up and walking, began some light physical therapy exercises, and maintained post-op range and motion through use of a CPM while in hospital.  I was discharged to home on the third day post-op, with a couple of narcotic pain medications (initially Percocet/Oxycodone and Morphine) and directions to commence in-home physical therapy the following day.  My follow-up visit with the surgeon was scheduled for 6 weeks post-op.  Day one at home began my challenging journey of recovery, both physically and emotionally.  I experienced difficulty managing my pain even with narcotics and over the counter medications.  My swelling was as expected and able to be kept in check with anti-inflammatory meds and icing.  I experienced annoying side effects from the narcotics, i.e., headaches, nausea, constipation, and thus was bounced from one medication and dosage to another, none of which seemed to be the right combination or solution to my pain.  Out of complete desperation and in uncontrollable pain, I went to the emergency room after being home for four days post-op, hoping to get some relief. A Problem with the Surgery? I thought surely there must be something wrong.  A few hours later, together with a lecture from the hospital PT and some morphine, I was discharged back to home.  Back on more medication, I failed to again find relief from pain.  I was averaging about 2-3 hours of sleep per night and little sleep during the day.  My home physical therapist had her work cut out for her.  Over the next 4 weeks (twelve 45 min. sessions of in-home PT), I had yet to reach better than 85 degrees flexion and 10 degrees extension.  My in-home therapist said she spent most of those 4 weeks strengthening my calves, hamstrings, and quad muscles, all which were extremely weak.  Therefore, already I was approximately 4 weeks behind in range and motion advancement.  My pain was still very much out of control, all while I feared becoming more and more dependent on the narcotics prescribed. At the first follow-up appointment (six weeks post-op), my flexion was below 90 degrees and extension still not at the zero degree mark.  I was informed by my surgeon that I needed a Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA).  My knee felt very stiff, pain was still unmanageable, and I was stuck without advancement in physical therapy. Manipulation Under Anesthesia He took x-rays and made sure the appliance was not loose or slipping out of placement.  All was found to be in proper order and an examination found no infection that could be causing pain or other symptoms.  My surgeon had done his job.  I was told however, that he believed I was stuck due to scar tissue build-up and thus was in need of the MUA to break up the scar tissue.  This would also permit the ability to continue physical therapy, working towards achievement of the desirable degree of range and motion outcomes.  I underwent the MUA six weeks and one day post-op and immediately resumed PT the following day.  I was told not to worry about a reduction in my flexion and extension after having the MUA.  An MUA tends to put patients back about 3-4 weeks, so it is almost like starting all over again.  However, the idea is that advancement in range and motion should become easier now that the scar tissue has been broken up by the procedure.  I went to PT for 5 days in a row the first week following the MUA, did my home exercises faithfully on my own twice a day, then returned to PT three times a week for the next several weeks. After the MUA At the two week follow-up appointment post the MUA, I was still in unmanageable pain, still getting only 2-3 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night, and running every gamut of emotion and temperament.  My poor husband was beside himself and wondering whatever became of the woman he married 27 years ago.  My flexion was still only reaching in the low 90's and my extension was no better either.  I was still experiencing great sensitivity to the touch anywhere on or around my surgical knee.  I couldn't stand wearing pants or having any sheet or blanket covering my knee.  My pain was the worst at night, just when I was settling in for some restful moments on the couch watching TV with my husband.  I would suddenly be lifted off my seat with either pain that mimicked touching a lit match to my knee, or the stabbing of a knife, or the shock of a taser. Dealing with the Pain This pain varied and sometimes was relentless for several minutes.  I was in tears most evenings and headed to bed to ice or apply heat, which calmed the nerve pain somewhat.  I would take meds (Hydrocodone/Norco, Extra-Strength Tylenol, Ibuprofen,  Zofran (for nausea) Vitamins, a stool softener (due to Hydrocodone) and Gabapentin aka Neurontin.  I was soooo sick of taking medications.  I think my surgeon was beside himself as to how to control my pain and sensitivity, therefore, he recommended I seek help at a Pain Management Clinic for possible sympathetic blocks, as well as my medicinal pain management.  Both he and my physical therapist told me I was forecasting pain neurologically before any exerted physical effort on their part was made to cause any pain.  My intolerance for any amount of pain was prohibiting any measurable progress in my range and motion, thus scar tissue was building at a rapid pace.  Physical therapy continued to be a challenge as I protective muscle guarded any force applied by my therapist to get better R&M.  I cried through most of my sessions. Pain Management At my first appointment with the Pain Management Clinic, I met with the doctor.  Most people have sympathetic blocks in their back to relieve nerve pain, but the doctor I was referred to chose to recommend a Genicular Neurotomy, accomplished through a procedure called Coolief Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation.  I first underwent a test which involved Lidocaine injections in four areas surrounding my new knee.  The patient then logs their pain and activities over the following 72 hours.  A follow-up appointment with a Nurse Practitioner then reviews the log and determines eligibility for the ablation procedure.  At this appointment she chose to cut my medication cold-turkey for a couple of days as she deemed I was dependent on them, even though I was getting little pain control.  I experienced severe withdrawal symptoms for two days. A Change in Medication I thought I was going to go out of my mind.  A change in my medication increased the Gabapentin I was taking, and I was found to be eligible for the ablation.  I underwent that procedure approximately 6 weeks post my first MUA, just before the Thanksgiving holiday.  I was told that I would still be experiencing pain for approximately 4-6 weeks, due to the fact that the ablation was going to make my nerves “angry” as they fought their temporary death.  I was also informed that this procedure is temporary as nerve endings most often regenerate themselves over a 6 month to 2 year period.  Some patients must undergo two or three of these procedures to get lasting relief. Unhappy News This was not happy news to my ears, yet I was still desperate for relief and reaching out for anything, and I mean anything, that would control my pain.  I returned to the pain clinic for a follow-up to the ablation procedure only to report pain still very bad and that I was still taking a boatload of medication, icing, heat to quad muscles to relieve cramping, and poor results in physical therapy sessions.  I was told to give it more time and come back in a few more weeks.   At my next follow-up approximately 3 weeks later, I discharged myself from the Pain Management Clinic.  I felt that their treatment plan was not successful for me and they had no other plan to offer other than continued reliance on prescription medication and time. When recovery goes wrong – Read More A Desparate Time After barely getting through the Christmas holidays, persisting in physical therapy and weaning myself down on prescription medications (since they didn't seem to be having any great effect on my pain), I began to explore the possibility of medical marijuana as a solution to my pain control.  I have never tried marijuana and had little desire to smoke or vape it, but was interested in edibles they have out now.  I was desperate and finding myself sinking into anxiety, panic attacks and, at times, depression.  My family and my husband were becoming very concerned as I was changing into a person they did not know and they were at a loss as how to help me through my circumstances. Medical Marijuana Since medical marijuana is legal in the State of Arizona, I sought out a doctor with whom I met and applied for a patient card.  This process took approximately 3 weeks, including approval of my application through the Arizona Department of Health and Human Services.  Upon receiving my card, I met with a licensed nurse at a dispensary to become educated about the various products and my specific needs.  She was recommended by the doctor who signed off on my patient eligibility and works with a number of cancer patients to help control their symptoms.  We met for over an hour.  She was extremely patient with me, educating me about cannabis (which I knew little of) and gave me recommendations to try.  I purchased three of her recommendations.  I also decided to try getting a light massage once per week.  The massages lasted for approximately three weeks before I decided to suspend them, as I found them not helpful enough to warrant the expense. Little if Any Improvement Having done everything I was asked to do in my recovery and still making little if any gains, I found myself in a very dark place emotionally, desperate to end my pain, and I was done!!  One day, I was occupying my time, in between home therapy and out-patient therapy sessions, searching the Internet for anything that might literally save me.  When in answer to my prayer, I came across several website postings about a therapy called X10.  I shared some of it with my husband, my parents and my kids.  They encouraged me to explore it more.  After reading some of the patient blogs and watching a few of the videos that I could access, I made my first contact with PJ Ewing by emailing him.  PJ responded very quickly telling me that the X10 Therapy and machine was not yet available in the State of Arizona, but he provided me with some other resources.  I was initially devastated by this news, but I almost immediately decided that I was not going to accept that response.  I instantly thought to myself, “Well, if it is not available in AZ, then maybe I can travel to wherever it is available. Not Taking ‘No’ for an Answer This time, I placed a phone call to PJ and we talked for over an hour.  As it so happened, in our conversation I discovered that the X10 headquarters is in Franklin, MI, and I had family who lived in Rochester, MI.  PJ was more than gracious in discussing all the parameters and specifics of the possibility of travel to Michigan to undergo the X10 program.  To say the least, after completion of my discussion with PJ, I heard God say “Not yet, Cathy, I still have a plan for you on this earth.”  I discussed the possibilities with my husband and shared them also with my son and daughter-in-law, exploring their permission to have me as a houseguest for 2-3 weeks.  Of course, they couldn't have been more gracious and welcoming. Pain Still a Big Problem My pain was still out of control, I continued out patient PT three times a week with slow or little advancement in my R&M, had my six week MUA follow-up with my surgeon only to be told I was facing a second MUA.  I told my surgeon and my physical therapist about the X10 Therapy website I had discovered, and PJ sent me the clinical data to share with them.  Each of them, I am grateful to say, told me they had looked at the data and were “intrigued” by the therapy plan.  Both encouraged me to pursue it as an option for me, yet both also strongly indicated that enough time had passed between my first MUA and the ablation, therefore, still recommended I have the second MUA before commencing X10 Therapy. Turning to X10 Therapy after a Second MUA Once my husband and I had made the decision to pursue this plan, the wheels began to roll quickly.  Initially, I scheduled the 2nd MUA and a flight out from Phoenix to Detroit by myself the next day following the MUA.  I notified PJ of my  plans and he began to put things in motion by placing me in contact with Mary Elliott, Melissa, Mike, a therapy Coach, Erin a Physical Therapist, and Marty, a technician for machine home delivery and set-up.  The X10 Therapy approach is really a “team” approach to wellness, in addition to the machine itself and the technological programs it delivers to the patient. The Second MUA Was Coming Up As the days approached the 2nd MUA, I became extremely anxious and experienced a couple of panic attacks.  I began to stress about the MUA pain, having gone through one already.  The thought of flying alone, even though my son would be there to meet me at the other end of my flight, and having to get through a 4 hour flight plus 1 hour car ride to his home in pain, had me scared beyond belief.  I was consumed with thinking about how I would manage my pain.  Should I just knock myself out to sleep on the plane?  What if that didn't work?  What meds could I then take if in pain?  What about my leg position – straightening and bending?  How would I get help from curb, through security, to gate, onto plane and the same again when arriving including a stop at baggage claim?  How am I going to sleep at night?  Is this therapy going to put me back in unmanageable pain again, even though the X10 Therapy information says I am in control?  What if it doesn't work?  Can this end my knee recovery nightmare? And on and on and on…! Making Plans After talking it over with my husband and doctor, it was decided that I would delay my trip to Michigan for one week following the 2nd MUA.  I would continue outpatient PT immediately following the MUA, but have some time to consult with a psychologist concerning my sleep depravation, fears, anxiety/depression and develop a plan to manage my pain, as well as talk to the airline for special assistance to help solve my transportation needs.  My husband decided to make the trip with me for a couple of days, just to get me settled and started with X10 Therapy.  Armed with a revised medication and travel plan, I notified the X10 Team of my change in start date and all were extremely understanding and accommodating.  I had the 2nd MUA  on January 18.  I continued outpatient PT for three more sessions, in addition to my own home exercises twice per day.  My daily sleep and pain control was managed better and I was counting the days until our departure date.  It simply could not arrive fast enough! Friday, January 19 This will remain a very important and pivotable day in my life.  My journey towards healing, life anew and well-being would begin that very day.  Having endured a comfortable flight and having managed all the transportation arrangements with ease (kudos to Delta Airlines), we arrived at my son's home ready to commence what I can now claim as my own personal miracle.  Within an hour, Marty arrived with a smile, this technological marvel known as the X10 machine, and a thorough first orientation/training session filled with words of encouragement and confidence.  I was on my way, although until I began to see results (which were really displayed within that first session), I Had Hope I was still cautiously optimistic about where I was headed.  Could I really achieve the flexion and extension goals I was unable to achieve thus far with any of my existing recovery methods?  Would this therapy really enable me to manage my pain comfortably with mild medications?  Could I trust my X10 therapist and her plan for me?  Would the X10 team really be there for me when I needed them?  Was the X10 therapy the answer to my prayers?  Would I really be returning home in as little as  just over 2 weeks time to see my surgeon's and physical therapist's jaws drop as they witnessed my flexion and extension reach what we all thought would be skeptical results, but instead blow them away with incredible success?  It would not be long before I could actually acknowledge to myself that the answers to each of those questions would be a resounding YES! 110º Flexion Once I was able to reach the 110 degree mark for flexion, it was decided that I would add 5 min a day on the stationery bike. As I felt comfortable, I was able to increase that time in small increments and add another bike session in the evening.  While my progress was measurable daily, I did experience some cramping in my right thigh and calf, dealt with some bursitis in my right hip for about two weeks, and waking with some right leg pain some nights. Taking Care of Myself I found icing and elevating regularly after each exercise session, icing my hip, heat on my upper thigh at night, Tramadol 50 mg. only twice a day with Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen alternated during the day, and Theraworx Relief foam massaged in the cramping areas once or twice a day helped keep my discomfort manageable.  In addition, I spent some resting time researching dietary recommendations for inflammation and pain.  I incorporated tumeric, magnesium, Osteo Bi-flex, 100% Cherry or Pineapple Juice, Vitamin B6 & B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Zinc, fresh berries and decaffeinated tea with ginger, lemon and honey in my daily diet.  I also decided to limit carbohydrates and sugar intake in an effort to keep my inflammatory response in check. One Week In After one week on the X10 and with constant reassurance and communication from all of my X10 team, I could actually begin to call this journey and the X10 Therapy my miracle.  I had breached the 100's for flexion after starting at 55 degrees, and reached 0 degrees at the end of the first session on my extension, previously at 8 degrees.  My fears, anxiety and uncertainty soon gave way to renewed love for life, joy at gaining confidence in doing daily activities again, sharing my daily success by telephone with family and friends, and hope for the future.  The almost daily contact from one or more of my X10 team members answered any questions that arose, provided authentic cheerleading for my cause, and motivated me to press on for better and better results. Working with My Coach Mary called often to check in with me and was my calm and steady encourager.  My conversations with her were uplifting and kind of like talking to an old friend, casual and comforting.  My PT, Erin, made a home visit to discuss my history and offered varied strategies for increasing my flexion degrees, as well as made adjustments in my therapy plan due to some bursitis that I had recently developed in my right hip.  She was careful to make the appropriate adjustments to my therapy plan.  She and Mike (my strengthening coach and with whom I also met in person to go over exercises), together modified my plan by delaying some of the exercises, while still permitting three sessions a day for range and motion growth. Conclusions As I approach my last day of sessions on the X10 Therapy machine and a return home to Arizona tomorrow, I write my story to encourage anyone who has experienced one or more of the circumstances that I experienced subsequent to a total knee replacement.  I am happy to report that I was successful in breaking through some of my scar tissue, reaching 0 degrees for my extension and 117 degrees flexion.  My gait is much improved and, as I have returned to walking without a limp or dragging my surgical leg, the pain in my hip and lower back has also improved greatly. My knee recovery nightmare has finally come to an end. Some Rehab Insurance I will continue outpatient therapy immediately upon my return home in order to solidify my current range and motion, and even further improve my flexion as I am able.  I write this also as a means of paying it forward to future patients of the X10 and in grateful appreciation to my X10 Team, my family and my friends who affirmed, guided, encouraged, and yes, celebrated, my X10 Therapy journey of success.  The proof, as they say, is in the pudding, which is said to mean that you can only judge the quality of something after you have tried, used, or experienced it.  I absolutely cannot wait to share my experience and demonstrate my range and motion achievement in person to my surgeon and PT Team back home in Arizona.

If you want an easier garden season, February is the time to set the foundation. Two steps do most of the heavy lifting: getting a soil test and prepping beds without damaging soil structure. Done well, these tasks reduce fertilizer guesswork and improve root growth.You can do a lot right now that sets you up for success without rushing into two classic mistakes:1. throwing amendments at the garden without knowing what the soil actually needs, and2. working soil while it's still too wet, which can damage structure for the long haul.So, today on Just Grow Something, I'm walking you through what a soil test can (and can't) tell you, exactly how to collect a sample that's representative of your whole garden, the key parts of a soil report that matter most for vegetables, and bed prep steps you can do now that improve soil instead of compacting it.Let's dig in!Resources:My Seed to Sprout course is waiting for you here: https://justgrowsomething.com/indoor-seed-startingMy free Seed Starting eBook is here: https://justgrowsomethingpodcast.com/seedbookSoil amendment episodes and articles: https://justgrowsomethingpodcast.com/search/amendmentsHow to calculate how much fertilizer to add to the garden: https://justgrowsomethingpodcast.com/blog/how-much-fertilizer-to-add-to-your-gardenReferences:How temperature affects the rate of nitrification: https://livetoplant.com/how-temperature-influences-the-rate-of-nitrification/Guide to Collecting Soil Samples - Oregon State University: https://extension.oregonstate.edu/catalog/ec-628-guide-collecting-soil-samples-farms-gardensSoil Compaction from Wet Soils - Purdue University Extension: https://www.purdue.edu/hla/sites/yardandgarden/resist-the-urge-to-work-wet-soil/Add Organic Matter to Improve Most Garden Soils - Oregon State University: https://extension.oregonstate.edu/news/add-organic-matter-improve-most-garden-soilsJust Grow Something: https://justgrowsomething.comJust Grow Something Merch and Downloads: https://justgrowsomething.com/shopJust Grow Something Gardening Friends Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18YgHveF5P/ Check out how you can become a patron on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/JustGrowSomethingBonus content for supporters of the Podcast: https://buymeacoffee.com/justgrowsomethingAmazon storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/justgrowsomething

Psychedelics are having a cultural moment. Research is promising. Stories of healing are everywhere. But here's the truth: these experiences aren't magic cures. And they aren't right for every nervous system at every time.   In this episode, Elisabeth Kristof and Jennifer Wallace slow the conversation down. Instead of asking, "Do psychedelics heal trauma?" They explore a more grounded question: What becomes possible when psychedelic or peak somatic experiences are approached through the lens of nervous system safety, preparation, and integration?   If you've been curious about psychedelics, already had experiences, or feel unsure whether they're right for you, this episode offers nuance, research, and deep nervous system perspective. Because post-traumatic growth isn't about becoming someone new. It's about becoming more available to the life that's already waiting for you.   Topic Covered Why psychedelics may reorganize meaning, not just reduce symptoms How trauma fragments narrative and how safety allows integration The science of psychological flexibility and why it predicts long-term outcomes What "somatic journeying" is and why it can feel disorienting The importance of preparation, titration, and facilitator trust Why intensity does not equal healing Psychedelics vs antidepressants in research on connectedness Default Mode Network (DMN), identity rigidity, and belief updating Why creativity often emerges when survival softens The risks of over-reliance and "chasing the medicine" Why discernment and self-trust matter more than hype   Chapters  00:00 – Psychedelics Aren't Magic Cures

Life does not move in straight lines. Plans change. People leave. Seasons shift. Pressure arrives without warning. In Built for Disruption, we examine the reality that disruption is not something to avoid but something to prepare for. This episode unpacks a foundational truth: when pressure hits, you do not rise to the occasion. You fall back on your preparation. Adaptability is not discovered in crisis. It is built in calm seasons through daily discipline, structure, and intentional discomfort. We explore how disruption reveals what you have actually built your life on. If stability depends on comfort or outcomes, disruption will shake you. If identity is tied to a role or title, disruption will threaten you. But when identity is anchored in values and reinforced by consistent discipline, disruption becomes a refining force rather than a destructive one. This conversation also introduces practical steps for building capacity. Protecting non negotiables. Training discomfort on purpose. Separating emotion from identity. Increasing margin before it is required. Deciding who you are before pressure demands it. Leadership maturity is not measured by how well you perform when things are predictable. It is revealed by how steady you remain when everything shifts. Disruption is coming. Preparation is optional. This episode challenges you to choose discipline now so that when life demands hard things later, you are ready. Thank you for joining us on this insightful journey!

In this episode, Dr. Killeen shares a simple evening habit that leads to better sleep and stronger mornings.

Preparation beats motivation and that small, intentional habit can quietly improve both rest and performance.

Lincoln County was hit hard by flooding from winter storms in 2025. Records of major floods in the area date nearly 100 years. A closer look at that history shows decades of mitigation measures, plans and preparations that officials say prevented further catastrophe in December.
