Peaceful Bloodless Transfer Creates New YorkRussell Shorto, Part Two: Shorto describes the diplomatic negotiations between Richard Nicolls and Peter Stuyvesantin August 1664. Prioritizing the welfare of the colony and its inhabitants over bloodshed, Stuyvesant agreed to the Articles of Capitulation, resulting in a peaceful merger rather than a violent conquest. The English renamed the settlement New York, retaining control through the 1667 Treaty of Breda. Shorto notes the historical irony that while England captured New Amsterdam, Dutch financial systems, tolerance, and commercial practices deeply influenced the British Empire, culminating in the 1688 Glorious Revolution when Dutch leader William of Orange assumed the English throne.

Retirement planning is often seen as a numbers game—ensuring that you have saved enough, invested wisely, and built a strategy that will comfortably carry you through what should be your golden years. But those numbers only tell part of the story, the test of any retirement plan is not just whether it works on paper for two people, but if it can be carried by the one who is left after loss.This episode is inspired by real-world challenges clients face, so I'm sharing my survivor stress test to help you refine your financial strategies before life throws the unthinkable your way.The Hidden Vulnerability in Retirement PlanningAlmost all plans in America focus on a couple, but the reality is that over half of married people will face widowhood or widowerhood, many while still managing mortgages, careers, and family responsibilities.Even if a plan “works” on paper—if the accounts are titled correctly, the math checks out, and the legal documents are in place—it could still fail the test of usability. The plan needs to be more than mathematically correct; it has to be understandable and executable by the survivor, who, in their time of greatest stress and vulnerability, may face complexities and choices they have never encountered before.Understanding the Survivor Stress TestThe survivor stress test is a framework for couples and individuals to ask a critical question: If one of us were to die first, would the other understand the plan and feel able to carry it forward? Passing this test requires looking beyond adequacy to usability. In many households, one person manages the finances, knows the passwords, talks to the accountant, and understands the cash flow. The other often does not, and this can leave the survivor in a precarious position, especially when they're grieving.The Income Cliff: What Changes After LossOne of the most immediate and impactful changes after the death of a spouse is the income cliff. Social Security survivor rules are not always intuitive, and when one spouse dies, the surviving spouse receives the larger of the two checks, but the smaller check disappears permanently. This can mean an instant loss of 30-40% of household Social Security income, even as most expenses, like mortgages and property taxes, remain largely intact.Pension decisions loom even larger. Choosing a single-life payout maximizes current benefits but leaves the survivor with nothing, whereas a joint and survivor annuity, though slightly smaller each month, ensures continuing income. These decisions, made far in advance, cannot be revisited and must be carefully weighed in light of the survivor's probable needs.The Unseen Tax PenaltiesMost people are unprepared for the surprising tax “penalties” that come with widowhood. Filing status shifts from married filing jointly to single, which often means higher effective tax rates on lower household income because of compressed tax brackets and a much smaller standard deduction. Scott Wellands explains that this can translate to hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional taxes over years of retirement—a burden that few anticipate.Additionally, surviving spouses may be affected by Medicare's IRMAA surcharges, which, due to a two-year income lookback, can kick in just as income falls. Fortunately, forms like SSA-44 allow survivors to appeal IRMAA surcharges based on current-year income, but many don't know about this relief.The Human Side of LossGrief can impair memory, concentration, and decision-making, right when the most consequential financial choices arrive. Survivors must re-title accounts, file claims, and sometimes manage pressure from family—all in an emotional fog. Prioritizing urgent actions (maintaining cash flow), deferring important but non-critical choices, and holding off on irreversible decisions (like selling a house) can prevent double grief where hasty choices compound heartache.The best way to pass the survivor stress test is communication, both partners should understand the plan, know where assets are, and feel confident in their ability to carry it forward. Conversations and second-opinion reviews with a qualified advisor can uncover hidden vulnerabilities and help ensure that whoever is left behind is secure.

Anika sat down with Joshua Evarts to explore how the rapid acceleration of artificial intelligence and digital communication impacts the fundamental engine of every business: human relationships. Drawing from a diverse career leading national security software companies, managing historic building restorations, running a community cigar lounge, and parenting a son working at OpenAI, Joshua offered practical insights into balancing technological automation with authentic connection, intentional culture building, and genuine curiosity. In This EpisodeTransitioning from early software programming on a Commodore 64 to leading national security tech companiesThe accidental pivot from accounting to building Easy Street Draw for automobile accident and homicide investigationsDeploying to Iraq and working with New Scotland Yard on post-blast investigationsSurviving stage 3 pancreatic lymphoma in 2020 and how facing mortality reshaped his perspective on presenceOpening a historic cigar lounge and discovering that authentic generosity is contagiousThe reality of parenting an OpenAI employee and navigating generative AI at the dinner tableWhy genuine relationships and curiosity remain the ultimate competitive advantages in an automated worldThe philosophy behind his book series, starting with If Jesus Smoked Cigars: Eight Lessons in Relational Leadership Timestamps00:03 Introduction: Balancing AI integration with thoughtful, ethical, and strategic human guidance 02:54 Early programming roots on a Commodore 64 and leaving accounting for tech entrepreneurship 07:15 The three sentinel shifts: accelerating communication speed, COVID-19 distancing, and the advent of AI 09:12 Battling stage 3 pancreatic lymphoma during 2020 and choosing gratitude as a daily mindset 10:14 Choosing presence over devices: leaving phones behind and prioritizing real human interaction 14:38 Writing If Jesus Smoked Cigars: using cheeky titles and obscure historical stories to teach relational leadership 26:45 Navigating generative AI slop, social media echo chambers, and the obsession with capturing digital data 29:21 Advice for the next generation: pursuing math, logic, and curiosity rather than fearing replacement 41:47 Recognizing that relationships are hard work and require intentional daily effort Key Insights & Takeaways Insight 1: Relationships Cannot Be Outsourced to AI While generative AI automates routine tasks and text generation, it cannot replace genuine human connection. In an increasingly automated business world, the ability to build trust, listen deeply, and maintain authentic relationships serves as an irreplaceable discriminator. Insight 2: Reckless Generosity Builds Thriving Communities Treating business relationships purely as transactions limits growth. True generosity is contagious; when business owners genuinely support their peers and foster inclusive environments, the entire community benefits and rises together. Insight 3: Focus on Culture and Process Over Outcomes Founders and leaders cannot control external market conditions or outcomes—they can only control their attitude and actions. Prioritizing a healthy, people-first culture and mastering daily processes naturally attracts top talent and loyal customers. Insight 4: Curiosity Outweighs Perfection Entering unfamiliar rooms and asking genuine questions creates unexpected opportunities. Being infinitely curious and willing to admit what you do not understand allows professionals to successfully navigate major career pivots across entirely different industries. Insight 5: Avoid Confusing Market Velocity with Productivity The rapid speed of technological advancement often tricks organizations into measuring activity rather than true business impact. Leaders must evaluate whether new tools genuinely serve their mission or create unnecessary friction for human users.

And AI is only making it worse.But you don't have to operate in chaos just because the rest of the world has decided to. The people who are most successful right now are the ones who learn how to slow down when the world speeds up. Calm, cool, collected, especially when there's a lot on your plate.In this episode, Chris breaks down how to opt out of the rat race of "do, do, do" and opt into higher caliber decision-making and prioritization. This is Part 1 of the most useful, actionable breakdown he's ever recorded on time management, productivity, and getting better results.PS. Don't miss my next workshop, the Independence Equation 2.0.

Ask Rachel anythingAre you trying so hard to be a good parent that you might be doing too much for your tween or teen, and accidentally making life harder for both of you?In this episode of Parenting Teenagers Untangled, Rachel Richards talks with clinical psychologist and author Dr. Tara Porter about her new book "Good Enough" and why good enough parenting is actually the best kind of parenting.Drawing on more than 25 years working in adolescent mental health, Tara explains how so many teens—whatever their diagnosis—secretly feel they are not “enough”: not clever enough, organized enough, pretty enough, or successful enough. She links this to a wider achievement-obsessed culture, fueled by:An education system caught in a “grade arms race”Social media's like-and-kudos economyThe professionalization of parenting and the tsunami of advice aimed at parentsAgainst this backdrop, Tara shares her three core principles of good enough parenting:A good enough attitude – Letting go of perfection, resisting the urge to optimize every aspect of your child's life, and accepting that zigzags and setbacks are normal.Relationship-based parenting – Prioritizing connection over outcomes, being “like wallpaper” in the background: present, warm, and available without crowding them or trying to control everything.Firm and kind boundaries – Finding the balance between warmth and firmness (authoritative parenting), gradually letting go of authority through the teen years so that by adulthood, your child is guided by their own internal compass, not your rules.Rachel and Tara explore:Rescuing vs building resilienceTwo common struggle patterns in teensThe perfectionist achiever The rebellious non-complier How to set boundaries that still protect the relationshipBetter conversations with teensTara's two key listening tools:Empathy – stepping into your teen's perspective, so they feel genuinely understood.Curiosity – asking open questions rather than jumping in with solutions.Rachel adds the idea of “LUFU – Listen Until they Feel Understood”, and both discuss why advice rarely lands until a teen first feels deeply heard.Mental health labels vs hope and growthRachel's personal blog on getting the balance right Dr Tara PorterSupport the showPlease hit the follow button if you like the podcast, and share it with anyone who might benefit. You can review us on Apple podcasts by going to the show page, scrolling down to the bottom where you can click on a star then you can leave your message. Please don't hesitate to seek the advice of a specialist if you're not coping.

Are women looking for the right things when choosing a man, or are modern dating expectations getting in the way of finding a genuinely good partner? In this episode of Sharing My Truth, Mel and Suzie continue their conversation with Coral Osborne, Certified Intimacy & Identity Coach for men, about what women prioritize in dating and why some of those expectations may be working against them. We talk about attraction, status, success, masculinity and emotional connection, and whether women are overlooking the qualities that actually make a relationship work. Coral also shares what she has learned from working closely with men, including what men really want from women and what they wish women understood about them. Are women expecting men to tick too many boxes? Are they overlooking good men? And when it comes to finding a lasting relationship, are we all focusing on the wrong things?

Human beings, it turns out, are magnificently good at fooling themselves. Sadly the mind has developed an elaborate way of hiding our worst thinking mistakes from us. Our shortcut-taking so instinctive we rarely notice it happening. This episode explores seven of these habits and on the way answers a lot of questions. Why do we blame the referee and ignore our own missed shots? Why does a friend's anecdote beat a mountain of statistics? Why do the people who commit history's worst atrocities rarely think of themselves as villains? I find it oddly comforting discovering that everyone, including myself, is quietly wired / weird this way. Hopefully you do to and can learn to start working around it. Catch yourself assigning blame to one convenient cause Ask what a friend's story leaves out that the statistics reveal Notice when certainty feels good but the evidence is thin Listen in, and you may never trust your first instinct quite the same way again.

In this episode of The Forgotten Podcast, host Jami Kaeb welcomes Chris and Alicia Johnson to discuss caring for and prioritizing marriage during seasons of crisis and hard foster care placements. Chris, Vice President of Church Engagement at Lifeline Children's Services, and Alicia, a former pastor's wife and teacher, share their journey of raising ten children (seven adopted from foster care) and fostering over forty kids. They open up about the immense strain that taking in high-needs teenagers and sibling groups placed on their household, their co-parenting dynamic, and their marriage. The Johnsons discuss the emotional weight, trauma, and spiritual warfare involved in foster care and adoption, explaining how intense seasons bring existing marital gaps to the surface. Through personal anecdotes, they detail how they learned to navigate seasons of chaos by shifting from accusatory language to vulnerable "I feel" statements, establishing simple grounding habits, and protecting daily time for connection. They emphasize that maintaining a strong, unified marriage serves as a vital safety net that removes anxiety for children who have already experienced profound disruption and loss. Chris and Alicia also address overcoming the guilt parents feel when taking time away from their children, pointing out that modeling a healthy, loving, and forgiving marriage is one of the greatest gifts caregivers can give. They encourage listeners to lean into intentional Christian community, accept support from others without shame, and maintain an eternal perspective through life's hardest trials, offering a powerful reminder that fighting for a marriage is always worth the effort. About the Guest Chris and Alicia Johnson have been married for 31 years and are parents to 10 children (seven adopted through foster care) and grandparents to two children adopted through foster care. Chris serves as the Vice President of Church Engagement at Lifeline Children's Services, bringing over two decades of pastoral experience and previous service as Executive Director of the Kentucky Governor's Office of Faith and Community-Based Initiatives. Alicia has served as a pastor's wife, teacher, mentor, and special advisor to the First Lady of Kentucky. Together, they have fostered over 40 children and are passionate advocates for supporting families and vulnerable children. In This Episode The unique challenges and emotional weight of bringing high-needs teenagers and sibling groups into the home. Recognizing spiritual warfare and how hardship brings underlying marital gaps to the surface. Practical communication strategies for spouses, including using "I feel" statements to prevent defensiveness. The vital role of community support and avoiding the trap of trying to manage crisis seasons alone.

Learn how your livestock can hurt you before they demonstrate it. When everything feels like too much, go back to your purpose. Your local community matters. Use your preparedness gear now, not for the first time during an emergency. Kids need space to create, think, participate, and learn. When you remove something from your life, replace it with something that moves you toward what you actually want. Don't go too hard too fast. Prioritize.

Amy Van Houten has a story you won't soon forget. As a mom of sextuplets, Amy already knew what it meant to navigate a full and demanding life. Then everything changed when she unexpectedly lost her husband to a heart attack and found herself moving forward as a single mom. In this episode, Amy shares the deeply personal story of navigating loss, motherhood, her own health transformation, and ultimately finding a renewed sense of purpose through it all. We also talk about Amy's experience with the Feel Great system and the changes she began noticing in her health. What started as something she was doing for herself eventually became something much bigger. Amy began sharing her experience with others and has since built a thriving business—all while raising her family and staying grounded in her faith. This conversation is about so much more than physical health. It's about what can happen when improving your health gives you the energy and confidence to start saying yes to possibilities you may never have imagined for yourself. If you are in a season where you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what your next chapter looks like, I think Amy's story will leave you feeling incredibly encouraged! WHAT WE DISCUSSED: Amy's health before discovering the Feel Great system and what led her to try something different The changes Amy experienced in her weight, energy, appetite, and overall health Raising sextuplets and what life looked like for Amy and her family Unexpectedly losing her husband to a heart attack and navigating life as a single mom Prioritizing her own health while carrying tremendous grief, stress, and responsibility The important role Amy's faith has played throughout her journey How Amy's personal health transformation naturally led her to start helping other people Going from simply using Feel Great herself to building a thriving business  What this opportunity has given Amy as a single mom beyond additional income Why you do NOT have to consider yourself a "salesperson" to successfully share something you genuinely believe in Turning some of life's hardest circumstances into an opportunity to serve others and discover a new purpose READY FOR YOUR OWN 90-DAY RESET? My next 90-Day COMPASS Reset begins in mid-September! If you're struggling with stubborn weight, cravings, energy, blood sugar, or simply feeling metabolically stuck, this is your opportunity to experience the Feel Great system with guidance, accountability, and a community alongside you. If you're using the Feel Great System, you're already in! That's the only requirement. CURIOUS ABOUT PARTNERING WITH ME? Maybe you listened to Amy's story and found yourself thinking: "Could I do something like this?" If you are passionate about health, love helping others, or are looking for an opportunity you can build around your existing life, I'd love to talk with you about partnering with me and Unicity. You do not need to be a salesperson, have a huge social media following, or already know how to build a business. Amy's story is such a beautiful example of what can happen when you simply start by sharing something that has genuinely impacted your own life.

#1070 What if the fastest way to start an AI business is to stop building and start selling? In Part 2 of this two-part episode, Brogan Williams continues his conversation with Corey Ganim, founder of Return My Time and AI Operator Academy, to unpack how aspiring AI entrepreneurs can turn their skills into paying clients and recurring revenue. Corey explains why you should talk to customers before building solutions, how one free project can generate the testimonial and case study you need to start selling, and why transparency and value are key to effective outreach. He also shares practical client acquisition strategies — from local meetups and coworking-space workshops to content, referrals, and even door knocking — and explains why outreach should take priority over building an audience. Plus, Corey breaks down his AI Concierge model, how he structures retainers with virtually no work between client calls, and why he now charges new clients a minimum of $2,500 per month! What we discuss with Corey: + Selling before building + Free projects for testimonials + Turning case studies into credibility + Transparent, value-first selling + Finding clients through local meetups + Using workshops to generate leads + Content and referral strategies + Prioritizing outreach over content + Building recurring retainer revenue + The AI Concierge model Thank you, Corey!

We all love the idea of a redemption arc. We love the idea of hitting rock bottom and bouncing up and transforming into a confident, powerful badass permanently. As humans, we tend to see things in black and white, before and after, cut and dry. But it's important to remember that no timeline or journey or arc is linear. Unfortunately life, and healing, is a messy process. Unfortunately it is not something you can win or lose, but instead relies on a perspective shift that allows compassion and integration to be able to react better, not perfectly. Prioritizing yourself (after years of not) might piss off the people around you who are used to you self sacrificing for them. This transition period will be uncomfortable for them and you. Adjust anyway. Again, I'm not saying to be mean or neglectful but you must learn to set some actual boundaries, and start to take yourself and your own capacity into consideration, and stop abandoning yourself in order to take care of everyone else. When you do this, with enough time and practice, you'll be teaching others that they are capable of taking some of the burden they'd offloaded onto you. And you'll be teaching your own nervous system you are safe and someone who can be trusted. Correcting those who criticize or dislike or misunderstand you cannot become the priority. You have to build your tolerance for unpopularity. Now admittedly, I initially had some hesitation to say embrace your “villain” era because I don't want anyone who is already evil to feel empowered to be more evil, but I do truly believe that there is a select few of us human beings who need to be explicitly taught how to prioritize ourselves, which means we need to unlearn some of the ingrained habits that make us feel like we HAVE to be “good” a the expense of what is actually fair and right. So the villain I'm speaking about is not the type of villain that will harm others to get ahead, but instead the type of villain that realizes the power in prioritizing their needs so they can get back to elevating the collective needs of the world around them. I'm speaking specifically to those people who's empathy for other people has become such an inherent part of their identity that they've forgotten their own humanity in the process.The idea is to integrate the parts of ourselves we've blocked out so we can become whole. Integration is the goal, instead of leaning into the tendency to neglect certain aspects and label them as undesirable.

#1066 What does it really take to grow a product business when every sale depends on inventory, cash flow, and relationships you can't afford to lose? In Part 2 of this two-part episode, host Britlyn Williams continues her conversation with Peter Andrews, founder of Culture Wine Co., to dig into the operational side of building and scaling his South African wine business. Peter explains why wholesale requires volume, how he manages three-month import lead times while growing more than 100% year over year, and why filling an entire shipping container can dramatically reduce his per-bottle import costs. He also shares why he chose loans over venture capital, how paying his winemakers upfront helped establish trust, and why clean data and streamlined systems have been priorities from day one. Plus, Peter reveals how he's building AI agents to handle prospecting and account follow-up, why Culture Wine Co. is intentionally focused on slow, sustainable growth, and the one thing he believes entrepreneurs need if they want to stick with a business for the long haul: deep, lasting passion for what they're building! What we discuss with Peter: + Finding your customers + Scaling through wholesale + Managing inventory and imports + Growing 100% year over year + Bootstrapping with business loans + Building trust with suppliers + Prioritizing clean data and systems + Using AI to automate prospecting + Choosing sustainable, organic growth + Building around genuine passion Thank you, Peter!

This week, Tommy is joined by actor Chase Stokes, who became a household name playing John B, the fearless leader of the Pogues in Netflix’s smash-hit series Outer Banks. With the fifth and final season now out, Chase is saying goodbye to an epic chapter of his life, and he’s opening up about what that goodbye has really meant to him. Chase shares how he’s grieved the end of John B’s story, the defining storyline that helped him better understand his character, and how he wanted John B to evolve over the course of five seasons. He reflects on how much he has changed since Season 1, the one scene he would show someone who has never watched Outer Banks, and his initial reaction to the Blue Crown storyline. He also reveals whether he thinks JJ should have been brought back, why Madison Bailey was a superhero this season, and why he believes John B and Sarah thrived throughout the series. Chase also discusses that burning online rumor and answers if that post-credit wedding party scene was scripted or completely unscripted? He also opens up about his complicated relationship with fame, why the pressure to always be perfect for the world matters less as you get older, the importance of setting boundaries, how his health took a scary hit earlier this year, how he’s feeling today, his ongoing journey of taking care of his mental health, why Season 2 of Outer Banks became such a pivotal moment in his life for his mental health, and so much more.

We close out the Powering Down series with the fruit that grows when we actually stop: love. Not love as another obligation to add to an already impossible list, but love as the natural result of resting in Jesus and being filled by him. We dig into John 15, Galatians 5, and 1 Corinthians 13 to discover that the primary fruit of a life rooted in Christ is love, and that love has a very specific shape. It chooses people over plans, presence over mere attendance, and patience over productivity. Love, it turns out, moves at about three miles an hour, the speed of walking, and you simply cannot do it at the pace most of us are living. The question worth sitting with today is this: when all is said and done, what story do you want the people who know you to tell? Because if you want it to be a story of love, something about the speed has to change. And the good news is that Jesus has already won the freedom for you to slow down and choose the people.

Today, I want to talk about something I see every day in my classroom and in the hallways of American schools: the urgent need for real food education. As a teacher, I watch how what our students eat shapes their energy, their focus, their moods, and ultimately their long-term health. Yet too many schools still treat nutrition as an afterthought.I believe we have a responsibility to help students understand the connection between food and well-being. When kids learn how different foods affect their bodies and minds, they gain power over their own choices. Without that knowledge, many drift toward processed and fast foods high in calories, unhealthy fats, and sodium. Over time, those patterns can contribute to serious problems like obesity and heart disease. I also see the quieter effects—how poor nutrition can leave students restless, foggy, or more anxious. A balanced diet can steady mood and ease stress, but too few young people are taught to make that link.The reality in many schools is discouraging. Budget pressures often hit health and nutrition first. When money is tight, we lose the chance to hire people who know how to teach these skills or to offer the kinds of meals and cooking experiences that make the lessons stick. Standardized testing makes the problem worse. Success is measured almost entirely by scores in math and English, so administrators feel forced to push those subjects harder while nutrition slides to the margins. Even when resources exist, food education can still get ignored. That has to change.Students need more than a quick lecture on the food groups. They need to read labels with confidence, understand portion sizes, distinguish between helpful and harmful fats, and practice preparing simple, nourishing meals. So many of the young people I teach rely on packaged and takeout food because they have never been shown another way. Cooking skills give them independence and protect them from the worst of those alternatives. They also need to see how food affects mental health so they can choose foods that support both body and mind.I know the challenges are real. Many of our students come from families stretched thin, and some schools themselves operate with limited kitchens and tight budgets. Meeting nutritional guidelines while keeping meals affordable and appealing to a wide range of tastes is not simple. Policy shifts come and go, and logistics—staffing, equipment, time—can feel overwhelming. Education at home matters too; not every family has the same information or capacity. Still, none of these obstacles excuses us from trying harder.What I want is straightforward. We need to protect and expand time and funding for food education so we can bring in knowledgeable teachers, run real cooking classes, and serve better meals. We should ease the stranglehold of standardized testing so health topics can take their rightful place. We can push for healthier options in the cafeteria and better support for the people who prepare school food. At the same time, each of us—teachers, parents, and community members—must keep learning and modeling good habits ourselves.I refuse to accept that the next generation will grow up without the tools to feed themselves well. Prioritizing food education is not optional. It is one of the clearest ways we can protect our students' health and give them a stronger foundation for the years ahead. The responsibility sits with all of us, and the time to act is now.

Do you ever feel like your week is running you instead of you running your week? I know I do! My friend Heather Brown joins me to talk about simple, practical ways we can care for our minds, bodies, and spirits without adding another overwhelming item to our to-do lists. We talk about creating intentional rhythms, managing chronic stress, protecting what matters most, and letting God help us see where our lives need a reset. Heather also shares some incredibly doable ways to slow down and care for ourselves in the middle of real, busy life. If you're tired of running on empty, this conversation is for you.

Xo, Donna Key Takeaways: 0:02:24 - “Sunday Reset” for Overwhelmed Women 0:08:34 - Start With God’s Vision for Your Week 0:17:18 - Chronic Stress and the Overloaded Nervous System 0:21:19 - Box Breathing as a Daily Reset Tool 0:24:34 - Simple Hydration & Salt Hacks for Energy What We Talk About Why busy women so easily end up running on empty What it means to love your neighbor as yourself Heather's Sunday Reset and how to begin creating one Asking God what your ideal day and week should look like Making your calendar reflect your actual priorities Recognizing where distractions are stealing your time Prioritizing your closest relationships How chronic stress affects the body The importance of sleep and true rest Using box breathing as a quick way to calm your nervous system Simple ways to incorporate prayer, Scripture, and worship into everyday routines Creating small habits that support your physical, mental, relational, and spiritual health Why caring for yourself sets an example for your children and family Heather's Sunday Reset Heather's approach begins with slowing down long enough to intentionally look at your life with God instead of simply reacting to everything coming at you. Start with God. Ask: Lord, what do You want this season, week, or day to look like? Identify what matters most. Consider your relationship with God, your closest relationships, your physical and mental health, and the specific calling God has placed on your life. Look honestly at your calendar. Do the things taking up your time match the things you say are important? Find the gaps and distractions. Ask where you're wasting time, what may need to be removed, and which habits aren't serving you well in this season. Put your priorities on the calendar. Schedule the important things instead of assuming they'll happen once everything else is done. Reset instead of expecting perfect balance. Some weeks will get crazy. The goal isn't perfection; it's recognizing when you've gotten off track and intentionally resetting. A Simple Stress Reset: Box Breathing Heather also shares a practical breathing exercise you can use in just a few moments: Inhale for 4 → Hold for 4 → Exhale for 4 → Hold for 4 Repeat for a few cycles to intentionally slow your breathing and create a moment of calm.

What would you say?Quincy opens this episode with that exact question and delivers a clear, urgent message to men in every season of life:Life is about who you are becoming.It is not about who everyone else thinks you should be. It is not about the misconceptions of who you think you have to be in order to make an impact. It starts with who you are becoming.From there, he lays out foundational priorities that every man must lock in:Become an expert at prioritizing your time.

Hey, Heal Squad! We're back with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, and if you're a woman over 35, this might be one of the most important conversations you'll hear all year. For years, we've been told to eat less, do more cardio, and accept that weight gain, brain fog, low energy, and losing muscle are just part of hormones and getting older. But what if they don't have to be? In Part 2, Dr. Lyon shares what she calls the real playbook for women who want to stay strong, healthy, and independent for decades to come. She explains what actually happens to our muscles as we age, why your first and last meal of the day matter more than you think, and why resistance training isn't just about looking fit, it's one of the most powerful things you can do for your brain, metabolism, hormones, and long-term health.Maria and Dr. Lyon also bust some of the biggest myths women have been told about aging...from the idea that belly fat and muscle loss are inevitable to why walking alone isn't enough to maintain muscle after 35. Plus, Dr. Lyon shares her simple, realistic prescription for building strength at any age, including exactly how often to strength train, how much protein to eat, and why it's never too late to start. Whether you're just beginning your fitness journey or looking to level up your routine, this episode is a powerful reminder that getting stronger isn't about perfection…it's about giving your future self the healthiest, strongest foundation possible. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Women don't need to spend the second half of life getting smaller, they need to get stronger. Resistance training and adequate protein are two of the most powerful tools for protecting your metabolism, brain, and long-term health. After 35, your muscles need more attention, not less. Prioritizing protein, especially at your first and last meal, and strength training consistently can help support energy, body composition, and healthy aging. It's never too late to build muscle. Whether you're 40, 60, or even 75, Dr. Lyon says your body is still capable of getting stronger (and healthier!) when you give your muscles the right stimulus.

The Buddha taught a path of awakened living, but how does that manifest in today's world of constant connectivity and widespread suffering? How do we keep our hearts open without being defined or hardened by the pain that surrounds us, whether personal, collective, or historical?

Can we infuse our compassion with wisdom and perspective to find the agency to take meaningful action in our communities?

The number on your scale tells you almost nothing about your actual health. You can lose weight while becoming less healthy—or stay the same weight while dramatically improving your metabolism, reducing your risk of disease, and adding years to your life. In today's episode, I discuss: Why the scale can completely miss what's happening inside your body and the hidden health risks it can't measure The dangerous difference between muscle and visceral belly fat, and why one protects you while the other drives disease The five health markers I pay attention to instead of body weight—including one simple measurement you can do at home How insulin resistance develops years before diabetes and the early warning signs you can catch before it's too late The goal isn't simply to lose weight; it's to build a healthier metabolism. The healthiest body isn't always the lightest one—it's the one that's functioning the way it was designed to. Resources Mentioned: Want to dive deeper into why muscle is the key to longevity?

Especially in today's culture, it's common to not exercise enough, or to not eat enough healthy foods. But what about on the other side of spectrum? Today, we're going to explore the risks of obsessive healthy habits and the stress that can surround self-optimization.  Today's guest is New York Times bestselling author and biohacking expert, Ben Greenfield. Ben is back on The Model Health Show to share some of the revolutions he's had about finding balance and shifting his focus to what truly matters in life. You're going to learn about how certain exercise types can have diminishing returns, the importance of having clear priorities, and how to find true fulfillment in your life.  If you've ever struggled with excessive exercise or extremism in any way, Ben's insights will help you find balance and peace. We're going to discuss building self-awareness, having the right dosage of healthy habits, and how to find self-worth and identity outside of self-optimization.

When a brand says it "used AI," that could mean anything from a tool speeding up a human's first draft to a system generating and shipping work on its own — and almost all of the real risk lives in the difference. So as AI moves deeper into creative work, which decisions are you certain still belong to a human?Real agility here isn't being quick with the latest tools. It's moving fast without losing the through-line that makes a brand recognizable — the ability to know exactly where human judgment stays non-negotiable.Today we're recording live at Ai4 2026 in Las Vegas at the Venetian, and we're going to talk about:- Drawing a clear line between where AI sharpens creative work and where it introduces unacceptable brand risk.- A practical look at how AI was used in a national campaign to improve the creative process, not just automate it.- The strategic shift as consumers move from traditional search engines to AI-powered platforms for discovery and research.To help me dig into this, I'd like to welcome Taryn Crouthers, CEO at Big Spaceship.About Taryn CrouthersTaryn Crouthers is the CEO of Big Spaceship, MSQ Partners' award-winning creative agency.

What if one of the most powerful anti-aging tools wasn't a supplement, medication, or expensive biohack—but the way you exercise? While many people think of exercise as a way to lose weight or burn calories, its greatest benefits happen deep inside your cells. In today's episode, I discuss: The two most effective forms of exercise for healthy aging and longevity What happens inside your cells when you challenge your muscles and cardiovascular system The often-overlooked factor that can determine whether you stay strong and independent as you age The minimum amount of exercise needed to support your muscles, metabolism, heart, and brain How and why you should measure your VO2 max Healthy aging isn't about finding the latest longevity hack—it's about consistently giving your body the signals it needs to adapt, grow stronger, and stay resilient.
