Jarred gave me a carwash pass for Mother's Day, and after lots of lugging, shuttling, and adventuring, one day I noticed how bad my car needed to be washed, specifically the windshield. It was so dirty! So I pulled through the carwash, and when I got out, it was like a breath of fresh air! Being able to see through that dirty window, it was like a whole new world was opened up! It reminded me of the same experience I'd had when I put a new screen protector on my phone after the previous one had been cracked and damaged. Same experience. A breath of fresh air. The word I would use to describe both of these experiences is CLARITY Clarity generally refers to how clear, understandable, or free of confusion something is. I want to discuss mental clarity, because when our head is cluttered and full, we don't show up as our best, can't think and perform clearly, and don't connect with others as well. Mental clarity refers to a state where your thinking is sharp, focused, and not clouded by confusion or distraction. Here are 10 Steps to Clarity: Clear the mental clutter. Get enough sleep. Practice mindfulness or meditation. Exercise regularly. Eat clean and hydrate. Prioritize and plan. Take a digital detox. Talk it out. Optimize the time of day. Get Present. Sometimes clarity comes with just a carwash or a new screen protector, but mental clarity, when the world opens up and our minds open up, may be a little different. When we hike, the higher we are, the further we can see. Sometimes we are stuck in a rabbit hole and spinning in circles. So we need to get a bigger picture and a greater perspective. Try just one of these 10 steps and see if you experience some clarity in your day today!

One of my mentors shared something I always come back to — it comes down to three key things. First, self-motivation. You've got to have that inner drive to go after what you truly want. Second, prioritization. You need to know what matters most and what can wait. And third, mentorship. Find someone you trust, someone who can guide you. And along the way, don't forget to trust yourself too — if something feels off, listen to that instinct.

Hey humans! On this episode of the HX podcast, I wanted to talk to my fellow Gen Xers about something that was programmed into us back in our twenties: the idea that our worth is tied to our productivity. I see it causing problems in business and in people's lives. I know this from my own career in startups, where that hustle culture was rewarded and it hard-coded into me the belief that being exhausted meant I was doing a good job. But I now know that's just not the truth, and it's time we challenge that thinking. So, I'm asking you to focus on a few things this week. I want you to ask yourself what would change if you valued rest as much as work, and know that you can seek support if this is a struggle. Remember, you are valuable because of who you are, not because of what you produce. Your value is intrinsically amazing. Stacie More episodes at StacieBaird.com.

If you are like me you jump up out of bed, check for emergency text messages, check the weather, rush through your morning devotional time so you can get on to the real work of the day. Just recently Martha and I were reading a book by Kim Avery “The Prayer Powered Entrepreneur” and she suggests a different approach. Kim suggests that when we have our morning quiet time, be quiet and ask our Lord what His priorities are for us today. Instead of letting distractions rule our day, ask the Lord to prioritize our day so His will is done. I'm going to try this from now on, and maybe you would like to do the same. Lord, what is at the top of your priority list for today? I pray that I can do this the rest of my life, what about you?
Everyone wants a secure network, but how do you prove it? This week on Feds At The Edge, we speak with cybersecurity experts to discuss how to establish meaningful cybersecurity metrics to document that security. LtCol Natalie Lamb, Cybersecurity Division OIC, Cyberspace Operations Group in the USMC, and Brian "Stretch" Meyer, Sr. Director of Engineering at Axonius Federal, breaks down three essential areas for leaders to focus on: 1. Aligning Investments - With limited time and funding, agencies must prioritize cybersecurity efforts that support their mission. 2. Knowing Your Network - From cloud sprawl to remote devices, your attack surface is growing. Understanding what you own and protect is the foundation of effective security. 3. Setting Priorities - “Ya can't measure what you can't see.” Prioritize detection to make your metrics meaningful. We dive into two key performance indicators: · MTTD (Mean Time to Detect) – How quickly do you identify a threat? · MTTR (Mean Time to Remediate) – Once you detect it, how fast can you fix it? Tune in on your favorite podcast platform today to learn why aligning your security metrics with mission outcomes isn't just good practice, it's essential for long-term resilience.

Welcome to The Peptide Podcast. Today we're going to talk about something that almost everyone on a GLP-1 journey hits eventually, the weight loss plateau. Thank you for listening to The Peptide Podcast. If you enjoyed the show and want to support what we do, head over to our Partners Page. You'll find some amazing brands we trust—and by checking them out, you're helping us keep the podcast going. It starts like this: you begin a GLP-1 like semaglutide or tirzepatide, and for the first few weeks or months, the weight seems to fall off. You're eating less, not obsessing over food, and for the first time in a long time, it feels… easy. Then one day, the scale just stops moving. You're not doing anything different. You're still taking the meds. Still trying to eat well. Maybe you're walking more or lifting weights. But suddenly, nothing's happening—and the frustration kicks in. Sound familiar? Let's talk about what's really going on. 1. What Causes the Plateau? First of all, if you're in this place right now: you didn't mess up. GLP-1s are incredibly effective at reducing appetite and creating an initial calorie deficit, which is why people lose weight so quickly in the beginning. But your body isn't just going to let that continue unchecked. It adapts. This is called adaptive thermogenesis—a fancy way of saying your body becomes more efficient. You start burning fewer calories at rest than you did before. Your resting metabolic rate actually drops beyond what you'd expect just from losing weight alone. It's a survival mechanism. So what worked at the beginning—eating less and moving a bit more—might no longer be enough to keep the scale moving. This is totally normal. 2. Metabolism & Muscle: Why Strength Training Matters Now More Than Ever So now that we know why the plateau happens, let's talk about things we can do to help us get over it. Something that often gets overlooked but is absolutely critical—especially if you're on a GLP-1 or in any kind of calorie deficit. Resistance training is not optional. It's non-negotiable. Here's why. When you're losing weight—whether it's from a medication like semaglutide or just eating in a calorie deficit—your body isn't just pulling energy from fat. If you're not careful, it's also going to break down lean muscle tissue. And the more muscle you lose, the slower your metabolism gets. Why? Because muscle is metabolically active tissue. It burns calories even when you're doing absolutely nothing. So if you're not actively sending a signal to your body to keep that muscle, it'll start to let it go. That's where resistance training comes in. When you lift weights or do bodyweight exercises—think squats, push-ups, resistance bands, even heavy housework—you're telling your body: “Hey, I need this muscle. Don't burn it for fuel.” This is especially important for those on GLP-1s because these meds reduce appetite so significantly that you might not be eating enough protein—or enough calories in general—to maintain muscle without that extra stimulus. So if you've hit a plateau or want to prevent one, ask yourself: Am I strength training at least two to three times a week? Am I prioritizing movements that challenge large muscle groups—like legs, glutes, chest, and back? Am I fueling my workouts with enough protein? And let me be really clear, you don't have to become a gym rat. You don't have to lift crazy heavy weights. But you do have to move your muscles in a meaningful, consistent way. Protecting your lean mass is one of the best ways to keep your metabolism humming—not just during your weight loss journey, but after it too. Because this isn't about just losing weight—it's about building a strong, metabolically healthy body that can maintain that weight loss for life. 3. Mindset Check: The Plateau Is Not a Failure Now, let's get into the mental side of this journey—because it's just as important as nutrition, movement, and medication. One of the biggest challenges people face—especially when progress slows—is the mental roller coaster that comes with watching the scale. And I'll be honest: weighing yourself every single day is not ideal. Here's why. Your body weight naturally fluctuates. Daily. And those fluctuations have nothing to do with your actual fat loss or long-term progress. Instead, the number on the scale is influenced by things like: Hydration status – If you're slightly dehydrated, the scale may dip. But if you drank a ton of water the day before or had more salty food, it may go up due to water retention. Glycogen stores – When you eat carbs, your body stores them in your muscles and liver as glycogen, and for every gram of glycogen, your body stores about 3–4 grams of water. So a pasta dinner or even a healthy grain bowl can cause a temporary increase on the scale. Digestive contents – Let's be real: if you haven't had a bowel movement (constipation) or just ate a bigger meal, the scale might reflect that. Doesn't mean you gained fat. Inflammation or illness – If you're recovering from an illness, injury, or even a hard workout, your body retains extra water as part of the healing process. Again—temporary. But here's what happens when we don't understand this, we step on the scale, see a higher number, and panic. We question everything—“Am I doing something wrong? Is the medication not working? Should I eat less?” And that mindset spiral can lead to unnecessary stress, restriction, or even giving up. So what should you do instead? Focus on trends over time, not daily weigh-ins. Weigh yourself once a week at most, ideally at the same time of day, under the same conditions (like first thing in the morning before food or water). Or better yet—track non-scale victories: clothes fitting better, improved energy, reduced cravings, less inflammation, better digestion, even clearer skin. These are all signs your body is healing and progressing. Remember, your worth is not defined by a number, and fat loss is not always linear. There are ups, downs, pauses, and breakthroughs—and all of them are part of the process. 4. Habits: Recheck Your Routine Now, here's where we get really honest. Because as the months go by, it's normal for habits to loosen up. Maybe you're not tracking portions quite as closely. Maybe your steps have dropped. Maybe “just a bite” here and there has crept in more often than you realize. This doesn't make you bad or lazy—it makes you human. But if progress has stalled, it's worth revisiting the basics: Are you eating mostly whole, minimally processed foods? Are you staying hydrated and watching added sugars? Are you eating out frequently without paying attention to portions? Are you still moving your body every day? Small shifts can make a big difference. 5. Food Noise: Why It's Sneaking Back One of the most exciting things about GLP-1s is how much they reduce food noise—that constant mental chatter about snacks, cravings, and what's in the fridge. But for many people, that quiet doesn't last forever. Over time, especially as your body adapts to the medication or your dose levels off, food noise can return. You might find yourself thinking about food more often or wanting things you weren't craving before. This doesn't mean the med has stopped working. It means your biology is adjusting. What helps: Keeping meals protein-forward and fiber-rich Eating at regular times to avoid dips in energy or blood sugar Identifying emotional vs. physical hunger Managing stress and sleep, which both drive cravings This is the time to build real strategies—so you're not relying on the med alone. 6. Emotional Eating This brings me to my next point. Let's talk about something that often flies under the radar but can make a huge difference in your weight loss journey—emotional eating. This is when feelings like stress, boredom, anxiety, or sadness trigger you to eat, even if you're not physically hungry. It's totally normal, and many people experience this at some point. Now, GLP-1 medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide do a great job at reducing physical hunger by influencing hormones that control appetite. But they don't always fully address the emotional side of eating. So, even if your stomach feels satisfied, those emotional triggers can still push you toward cravings or eating for comfort. Recognizing emotional eating is the first step. Try to notice when you're eating because of feelings rather than hunger. Strategies like mindful eating, journaling your emotions, or finding alternative outlets—like walking, meditation, or chatting with a friend—can really help. If emotional eating is a big hurdle, working with a therapist or counselor who specializes in behavioral health can provide tools to manage those feelings without turning to food. Remember, managing emotional eating alongside your GLP-1 treatment can make a huge difference in overcoming plateaus and reaching your goals more sustainably. 7. Set Realistic Expectations: Fat Loss Isn't Linear Lastly, I want to talk about setting realistic expectations. I can't stress the following enough. You are not supposed to lose weight every single week forever. Your body needs breaks. Your metabolism needs to reset. And your mind needs time to adapt to this new version of you. Think of your fat loss journey like a staircase—not a slide. There are flat spots before the next drop. And guess what? Some of the most important changes—like maintaining your weight, building strength, or stabilizing your habits—happen during those flat spots. You don't need to push harder or go more extreme. You just need to keep showing up consistently. My Final Thoughts: Trust the Process The bottom line is trust the process. If you're on a GLP-1 and the scale has stalled, take a deep breath. This is a normal part of the process. It's not the end—it's just a signal to pivot and refocus. We want to build muscle. Prioritize protein. Revisit your habits. Stay active. And most importantly, don't give up. Thank you for listening to The Peptide Podcast. If you enjoyed the show and want to support what we do, head over to our Partners Page.

We use the term ‘Prioritize and Execute' at the shop all the time. It's from Jocko's Laws of Combat. Find the priority and execute. Once complete, there's a new priority. Then you handle that. This is the antidote for overwhelm. It's easy to get bogged down with the big picture of getting everything done. You can't do it all at once. Take a step back to detach. That'll help you find the next step you need to take. This can be applied to all aspects of life. When you're feeling overwhelmed, detach, identify the priority, and run the play. Before you know it, you'll be moving forward. Forward movement generates momentum. Now you're off to the races.

In this episode of the Rocket Chiro Podcast, Jerry Kennedy explores how different age groups engage with brands online—and what that means for your chiropractic marketing. Using a recent infographic from NP Digital as a jumping-off point, Jerry breaks down why Gen Z takes longer to follow brands on social media, why Boomers tend to move quicker, and how your marketing strategy should align with your goals, target demographic, and level of urgency. Whether you're doing content marketing, social ads, SEO, or community outreach, understanding your audience's behavior is crucial. Jerry also shares actionable strategies based on patient intent—like how to attract people looking for acute care now versus those slowly building trust over time. Key Takeaways 1. Different Generations = Different Timelines Gen Z needs an average of 11 exposures before following a brand. Millennials and Gen X fall in the 6–7 range—similar to long-standing marketing wisdom. Boomers need only 3 exposures on average. The more content someone consumes, the more desensitized they become—especially Gen Z. 2. Trust and Time in Marketing Most people don't take action the first time they see you unless they're in a crisis or acute pain. Content overload and algorithm filters mean you're competing with everything—not just other chiropractors. Patience is essential in relationship-based marketing. 3. Match Your Marketing to Your Intentions If you need patients today, prioritize: Acute care marketing SEO and Google Ads Networking with professionals If you're building a long-term brand, focus on: Content marketing (blogs, videos, podcasting, community involvement) Authority building (testimonials, reviews, collaborations) Social media presence (but know it takes time!) 4. Tailor Your Tactics by Demographic Older patients: Use Facebook, email, direct mail, print, TV, radio. Younger patients: Use Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, influencer collaborations. 5. Don't Fish in the Wrong Pond Align your: Target audience Marketing platform Message and tone Budget and expectations Actionable Tips for Chiropractors Need patients fast? Prioritize acute care, SEO, and local Google Ads. Targeting Gen Z or Millennials? Use short-form content, influencer partnerships, and be consistent with social media. Want trust over time? Focus on storytelling, authority, and being visible both online and offline. Don't fake it. Be genuine and let your personality come through in your content. Adapt. Stay aware of platform changes and be ready to evolve your strategy. Final Thoughts “Marketing isn't magic—it's a process. And if you're marketing to people who take longer to trust you, you have to be patient, intentional, and consistent. If your expectations and execution don't match, you're just wasting time and money.” Work With Jerry Want help with your website, SEO, or want to get unstuck in your practice?

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I dive deep into what makes relationships and other things truly "built to last." Starting with a story about my trusty 25-year-old vacuum cleaner that's still going strong, I share how in our fast-paced world of disposable everything, we've lost the art of investing in quality products and connections that stand the test of time. I break down some of the key ingredients for lasting relationships, which I call the "C's": consistent effort, clear communication, connection, compromise, and constructive conflict resolution. Think of it like a relationship recipe - you need trust, mutual respect, reliability, appreciation, and the willingness to grow together. No relationship is perfect, but the magic happens when both people are committed to showing up and doing the work. Emotional intelligence is for sure a wicked big game-changer. I also talk about how we need to be willing to be vulnerable, truly listen to each other, and do our best to have empathy. This means creating space for all emotions, not just the comfortable ones.Whether it's with a partner, friend, or family member, relationships thrive when we're willing to see and hear each other authentically.The bottom line?Love is the foundation, but love isn't just words - it's also your actions. It's about being willing to sometimes compromise, consider forgiving the small stuff, and to continuously invest in individual and shared growth. Not every relationship is meant to last forever, but when both people are committed to loving each other and themselves, magic can happen!Remember, we want the foundation of our personal and professional relationships to be constructed on rock, not sand - so it behooves us to show up as solid, steady, and intentionally built to last. KK'S KEY TAKEAWAYS:• Invest in quality products and relationships that stand the test of time.• Consistent effort and clear communication are crucial for lasting connections.• Trust, mutual respect, and reliability form the foundation of strong relationships.• Practice emotional intelligence by being vulnerable and truly listening to others.• Appreciate your partner and express gratitude for their everyday actions.• Commit to both individual goals and shared growth in your relationships.• Compromise and consider forgiving the small things that don't truly matter.• Love is more than just saying the words - it's also about congruent actions.• Not all relationships are meant to last.• Prioritize connection, empathy, and continuous personal development in your partnerships.• The Nest - Group Mentoring Program BIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Integrative Change Worker, Coach and Hypnotist.
