Do you feel like everything needs you right now? Like you need more than one of you to get everything done? You're scrolling social media when you know what you should actually be doing, spending hours tweaking Canva graphics that don't move the needle, and letting other people's urgency dictate your entire day.Today I'm breaking down the triage system I use with all my scaling clients to help them stop living in constant firefighting mode and actually focus on what grows their business. I'm teaching you the Eisenhower Matrix, the four quadrants every task falls into, and the exact step-by-step process you can use in under 10 minutes every single day to sort your to-do list. We're talking about the common mistakes that keep you busy but not productive, why you're creating urgency in things that aren't actually urgent, and how protecting Quadrant 2 (important but not urgent tasks) is the unlock to scaling your business. I'm also calling out the uncomfortable truth: you're probably part of the problem when it comes to people putting their urgency on you, and we need to fix that.This episode is a masterclass in productivity, prioritization, and getting back in the driver's seat of your business instead of feeling like an employee to your own to-do list.00:38 Introduction01:27 Understanding the Concept of Triaging03:40 The Importance of Prioritization06:45 Common Mistakes in Business Prioritization29:47 The Eisenhower Matrix: A Solution for Prioritization37:27 Managing Urgency and Importance45:38 Brain Dump and Task Categorization50:22 Prioritizing and Delegating TasksTo join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE.

Relationships are not transactions—treat them like a bank account and make consistent deposits before you ever ask for a withdrawal. Fear-driven behavior protects the ego; curiosity-driven behavior unlocks growth and deeper connection. The right questions at the right time are more powerful than the perfect pitch, speech, or pep talk. Benching your ego leads to better leadership, less stress, stronger teams, and more enjoyment on the golf course. Being a present dad often requires brave decisions about boundaries, time, and saying "no" to good opportunities. Golf is a mirror: how you respond to bad shots, slumps, and frustration reveals how you handle pressure everywhere else. Key Quotes: "When you're great, other people will tell you. If you have to tell everyone how good you are, you're probably not that good." "People who treat relationships like transactions miss the bigger picture—you get back what you consistently deposit." "Fear-driven people are afraid to ask for help. Curiosity-driven people say, 'I don't know' and then do something about it." "It's not what you say that closes the deal or builds trust. It's what you ask." "The mind is the best tool in your golf bag—and only you have access to it." "Do you want to be right, or do you want to get what you want?" "I'm never going to regret choosing time with my kids over another business opportunity."

The group explores the common guidance of waiting a full year of sobriety before dating, stressing that personal health must be the top priority.

Une Femme Wines didn't scale the way most wine brands do — and that's exactly why its story matters.What began as the house wine at Jen Pelka's two Champagne bars — The Riddler in San Francisco and New York — has scaled into a national brand selling more than 300,000 cases annually, with wines poured everywhere from Delta Airlines to Marriott, Kimpton, stadiums, cruise lines, and even space.In this episode, Jen breaks down how Une Femme unlocked scale by saying yes to the right opportunities — and then rebuilding the business to support them.The turning point came when a chance meeting led to a Delta Airlines trial that required Une Femme to ramp from 1,500 cases over two years to 6,000 cases in three months, a feat that seemed impossible at the time. But they persevered and that single partnership didn't just change volume — it reshaped the company's format strategy, pushing the brand into cans for sustainability, operational efficiency, and national reach.From there, Une Femme scaled differently than most wine brands: Prioritizing national accounts and high-velocity venues over slow regional rollouts, and focusing relentlessly on freshness, tight SKUs, and operational reliability.

This episode is back by popular demand—and for good reason. One of the most requested and talked-about conversations on The Autism Little Learners Podcast, this replay dives into Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) with licensed psychologist Dr. Taylor Day. In this episode, we explore PDA as a profile within autism, with a strong focus on nervous system differences, autonomy, and the fight-or-flight response. Dr. Tay shares why traditional behavior-based approaches often miss the mark for children with PDA and offers compassionate, practical insights for parents and educators who want to support children in ways that truly work. If you're navigating intense demand avoidance, burnout, or power struggles—or supporting a child who needs a more flexible, relationship-based approach—this conversation is a must-listen (or re-listen).

In this episode, host Sarah is joined by Alexis Haselberger, a time management, productivity, and leadership coach. Alexis, who was diagnosed with ADHD through her work with clients, shares her journey from the high-pressure world of Silicon Valley startups to becoming a coach focused on sustainable success. The conversation explores crucial strategies for adults with ADHD, particularly in high-pressure environments, focusing on the power of self-compassion. Alexis discusses: Reframing Self-Criticism: Why kindness and celebrating small wins (even just putting on your shoes!) are essential for motivation, contrasting with the common belief that being harsh leads to improvement. Practical Workplace Boundaries: Implementing communication boundaries, like turning off notifications and using "away" messages, to protect mental health and maintain focus. The External Brain: The necessity of a trusted external task system (like alarms and reminders) to manage short-term memory issues and reduce anxiety. The Myth of "Doing It All": How accepting that you cannot "do it all" gives you agency over your life and time, making life about intentional trade-offs and effective prioritization rather than endless overwork. Tune in to learn how to leverage self-compassion to increase productivity and gain a sense of control over your life.

Wow, how is it that another year is almost behind us? The older I get, the more I feel like time is just flying by, and if you're not intentional about making the most of your time, you'll get left behind chasing goals you never quite reach. This reality feels even more true as I reflect on 2025 and look ahead to what I want to accomplish in 2026. In the spirit of making the most of my time and staying intentional with my progress, I'm a firm believer in the power of planning, setting, and reflecting on goals…both personal goals for my life and business goals for City Girl Savings. But here's what makes goal-setting even more powerful: accountability. Sharing my goals publicly with the CGS community holds me accountable to actually working toward them instead of letting them sit in a journal collecting dust.

In this transparent episode, I'm sharing my complete personal and business goals for 2026, along with honest progress updates on the goals I set for 2025…the wins, the misses, and the valuable lessons learned along the way. From maxing out my Roth IRA to managing a short-term rental property, from improving profit margins to taking a podcast break for mental health, I'm pulling back the curtain on what it really looks like to run a business while prioritizing personal wellness. My hope is that you finish this episode feeling empowered and inspired to set and reflect on your own 2026 goals, whether they're financial, health-related, business-focused, or all of the above.   Here's What You'll Learn in This Episode: Balancing ambitious financial goals with realistic expectations Investment strategies: maxing out retirement accounts (Roth IRA) Real estate investment lessons from managing a short-term rental property Business finance: increasing profit margins while managing revenue fluctuations Health and wellness goals for entrepreneurs and busy professionals Managing screen time and reducing social media-induced anxiety Prioritizing nervous system regulation and work-life balance Setting business revenue and profitability targets for sustainable growth   Radical Transparency for Accountability: This isn't a highlight reel—it's an honest look at what worked, what didn't, and how an entrepreneur balances million-dollar net worth building with mental health priorities. Use this as your roadmap for setting realistic, meaningful goals that honor both your ambitions and your wellbeing.   Here's a glance at this episode: [03:37] Health Goal Progress: Hitting 12,000 daily steps 90% of the year and evolving fitness goals with naturopathic support.

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.According to People magazine, the most consequential Justin Timberlake development in the past few days is not a chart move or a casting coup but a diagnosis. After wrapping his grueling two year Forget Tomorrow World Tour, he revealed he has Lyme disease and, insiders say, is now prioritizing his health and recovery with strong support from wife Jessica Biel. People reports he endured nerve pain, extreme fatigue, and bouts of sickness on stage but pushed through to finish the tour, framing his disclosure as an attempt to be more transparent and to help others living with the disease. That health turn is likely to be a long term biographical marker: a global pop star hitting the brakes to protect his body and reframe his future.The ripple effect is already visible in the boy band nostalgia economy. In a new round of interviews carried by outlets such as The National Desk and multiple NBC affiliates, New Kids on the Blocks Joey McIntyre publicly floated an NKOTB NSYNC Backstreet Boys supergroup tour and more or less put the ball in Timberlakes court, joking that as an NSYNC fan he too has felt teased by reunion hints and saying he hopes Justin finally says yes. McIntyre also acknowledged on the record that any mega tour would be a heavy lift given Timberlakes recent health challenges, effectively tying Justin's medical reality to the fan fantasy of a boy band Avengers style comeback.On social media, the dominant narrative remains concern and admiration rather than scandal: posts and clips continue to circulate of Timberlake addressing his Lyme diagnosis after the final tour stop, with fans framing him as a work through the pain professional finally drawing a boundary.There are scattered fan speculations that his health news could delay or reshape any future NSYNC projects or solo residencies, but no major outlet has confirmed concrete new deals, dates, or album announcements in the last few days; those whispers should be treated as unconfirmed. For now, the headline on Justin Timberlake is simple and stark: the man who once brought sexy back is bringing balance back, and the next chapter of his career will be written around what his body, not just his fanbase, can live with.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Line work is one of the most dangerous jobs in America, with fatality rates in the line trade more than six times those in all other occupations, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. To come home safely to their families every night, lineworkers must not only follow safe work practices and wear proper personal protective equipment, but also safeguard their mental health. Oftentimes, lineworkers experience a near-miss themselves or the loss of a coworker, and the toll can be complete self-destruction, said Ken Lulow of Line Worker Solutions. Rather than trying to self-cope and hold it all in, they can reach out for help from their coworkers, company and community mental health professionals. This episode, narrated from the article "Prioritizing the Mental Health of First Responders" in the 2025 T&D World Lineworker Supplement, delves beneath the surface of safety in the line trade to offer six strategies to help lineworkers focus on their mental health and wellness. For more information, stay tuned to Part 2, which will feature an interview with Jenny Lavin, founder of Union Care Solutions and Part 3, which will offer more tips on how to break the silence on mental health struggles and get help.

Identify your energy drains and boosters: Pay attention to which tasks or activities drain your energy and which ones replenish it, adjusting your schedule accordingly.

Ask for support from your partner: Communicate with your partner about what helps you regulate—this might be a gentle touch, a walk together, or another soothing gesture during conflict.

If social media has ever felt like a part-time job you didn't even apply for, you're gonna love this one.  I joined Colie James on her Business-First Creatives Podcast for a real conversation about the shift so many of us are making away from social media burnout and toward marketing that actually feels sustainable.  We got into why email has become my highest-impact channel, how I think about balancing the whole ecosystem, and what it looks like to give yourself permission to stop doing marketing tasks that drain you.  This conversation went deep, and I knew I had to bring it here.  In this episode of the podcast, we talk about: Why email has become my most powerful, highest-converting marketing channel. How I think about prioritizing platforms using a "primary, secondary, ensemble cast" approach. The real reason so many business owners feel exhausted by social media (and why it's not your fault). How AI fits into my writing process as an assistant instead of a replacement. Why your marketing works better when it matches your natural tendencies and not someone else's formula. …And More!   This Episode Was Made Possible By: Riverside All-in-One Podcast & Video Platform Visit Riverside and use the code DREA to get 15% off any Riverside individual plan.

In this special “Miami Besties” episode of Not Alone, Valeria brings together the most memorable, honest, and vulnerable moments from her conversations with the women closest to her. The episode begins with friend Vita Sidorkina, whose conversation dives into raising resilient kids, the value of honesty with children, and the Russian cultural principles she still carries. Plus, an open conversation about how “daddy issues” can shape who we choose to marry and life with a husband who is 20 years older. Next, Isabela Grutman reflects on what marrying young taught her, navigating the early modeling world, and the reality of “high-value” men. We also get into long-term partnerships, and what it means to renegotiate your marriage as you evolve. Then, Martha Graeff opens up about her first marriage, the courage it took to prioritize her mental health, and the financial realities of leaving, including why she believes prenups are empowering, not limiting. Finally, Camila Coelho shares her deeply personal experience growing up with epilepsy, from getting diagnosed as a child to managing her condition as an adult, and the stigma that still surrounds it.  Together, these conversations reveal the raw, real, and resilient sides of womanhood, friendship,and the stories that shape us.

One of the key missions of the Parkinson's Foundation is to increase access to high-quality care for everyone living with and affected by Parkinson's disease (PD). As more people are diagnosed with PD each year, the availability of PD specialists remains limited. During a recent visit to Washington, DC, the Foundation led a National Roundtable on Parkinson's Care and Innovation with the goal of convening a multidisciplinary group of experts to provide input and help shape the future of PD care. This multi-pronged approach recognizes the importance of having patient-centered care at the forefront of decision making, ensuring that people with Parkinson's and key community members are actively involved in the conversation.   While the Foundation continues to influence policy at the federal and state level, there are also meaningful steps individuals can take to improve their care. The Foundation encourages people with PD and members of their care team to take an active role in managing their care by being proactive before, during, and after a doctor's visit.   In this episode, we invite Dr. Kathy Blake, a retired cardiologist and person living with Parkinson's, and Dr. Sneha Mantri, a movement disorders neurologist and the Chief Medical Officer at the Foundation. Together, they highlight the resources available to help prepare for a doctor's visit and talk about the Foundation's ongoing efforts to influence PD care nationwide. They emphasize the importance of self-advocacy and raising awareness about Parkinson's.   Follow and rate us on your favorite podcast platform to be notified when there's a new episode!

Be Kind & Grateful to Be Great PodcastFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCASTHuman Connection Matters More Than DataDr. Mishra opens with Dean Ornish's idea that connection and community are as essential as food, water, and air. He argues we are drowning in data but starving for direction, and asks listeners to stop tracking themselves for a week and intentionally engage with real humans.Biomarkers Alone Cannot Measure VitalityDespite years of research—including PRP innovation and extensive self-testing—Dr. Mishra emphasizes that no single biomarker or panel can accurately quantify vitality. He critiques the booming longevity-tech market for offering more marketing than science.The Hottest Longevity Tests Have Limited EvidenceHe reviews four major categories:* Blood-based biomarker panels: Huge market but very little peer-reviewed evidence supporting meaningful insights.* Microbiome testing: Promising but still early; diverse gut bacteria correlate with healthier aging.* Biologic clocks (epigenetic, facial, retinal): Interesting but inconsistent, easily cherry-picked, and not yet clinically integrated.* Liquid biopsies & whole-body MRI: Useful mainly for high-risk populations; false positives can cause harm.Overall: science lags far behind the hype.The Best Ways to Slow Biological Aging Are Proven and SimpleBased on published data, the most reliable methods to slow biological aging remain:* Consistent physical activity* High-quality sleep* Calorie restriction* Plant-forward diet* Optimal vitamin D* Higher income* Higher educationA Hybrid Future: Start With Human Vitality, Then Add TechDr. Mishra recommends:* Prioritizing human actions AI cannot do—forgiveness, fun, imagination, courage, resilience, service, connection.* Considering comprehensive testing at two strategic “warranty expiration” stages: early 40s and late 50s.* Building a future where human vitality comes first, and elite technology augments—not replaces—our humanity.Copyright, VyVerse, LLC.

In today's episode of The Autism Little Learners Podcast, I'm diving into one of the most meaningful parts of working with autistic preschoolers: connection. When we lead with compassion, honor sensory needs, and truly celebrate each child's unique way of being, we create the emotional safety that helps them learn, communicate, and thrive. I'm sharing why stepping out of "teacher mode," validating autistic play, and tapping into deep interests are essential for forming authentic relationships. If you're ready for simple, practical strategies that build trust, reduce overwhelm, and create joyful, neuroaffirming classrooms and homes, this episode is for you. Building authentic connection creates a sense of emotional safety for autistic children. Sensory and regulation needs must be supported before meaningful connection can occur. A calm, steady adult presence helps children co-regulate and learn what regulation feels like. Stepping out of "teacher mode" makes connection more natural and less overwhelming. Autistic play is meaningful, valid, and should be honored rather than redirected. Deep interests are powerful bridges for building trust, engagement, and communication. Leading with compassion instead of compliance helps children feel seen, respected, and safe. Joyful, neuroaffirming environments increase engagement and support learning. Presuming competence communicates respect for all forms of communication and autonomy. Prioritizing connection has long-term positive effects on confidence, engagement, and overall development.

4/4. Climate Pragmatism and Denial of Renewable Energy Constraints — Terry Anderson (Editor) — Andersonhighlights Bjorn Lomborg's "climate pragmatism" framework, which advocates rational spending prioritizing immediate human needs rather than attempting to arrest climate change through technological transformation. Anderson confirms that genuine market adaptation is actively occurring, citing declining real estate valuations in storm-surge vulnerable areas of Dade County. Anderson asserts that political objectives, including achieving carbon neutrality or total renewable energy dependency, demonstrate "total denial" of the vast and insurmountable physical limitations inherent in current renewable energy technology and infrastructure capacity. 1862

In today's episode, I'm diving into a small but mighty part of literacy instruction that has a huge impact on your students' reading and writing success—the sentence. For years in my own classroom, I didn't give sentence-level work nearly enough attention, even though sentences are at the heart of everything students read and write. If you've ever wondered how to strengthen your students' writing, boost their comprehension, or make your literacy instruction more effective, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on why focusing on sentences matters so much.I'm sharing five key reasons why sentence-level work is an essential part of upper elementary literacy instruction. Strong sentences are the foundation of all writing—whether students are crafting paragraphs, essays, summaries, or responses to reading, their success depends on their ability to write clear, complete, and detailed sentences. At the same time, understanding sentence structure is crucial for comprehension. When students understand how phrases and clauses work together, they are better equipped to make meaning from the increasingly complex texts they encounter. Plus, sentence-level work is manageable for students and teachers, it's one of the most effective ways to teach grammar, and it benefits all learners—those who struggle and those who are already confident writers.My hope is that this episode inspires you to slow down and give sentence-level writing the time and intention it deserves. Prioritizing sentences can transform your writing instruction, strengthen your students' reading comprehension, and make your overall literacy block more effective and more manageable. Whether you're looking for a place to start or simply need a reminder that small shifts can lead to big growth, this episode will give you practical insight into why every upper elementary teacher should be spending more time on sentences.Join us in the Stellar Literacy Collective Membership: stellarteacher.com/join!Sign up for my FREE private podcast, the Confident Writer Systems Series, here!Sign up for my FREE Revision Made Easy email series here!Follow me on Instagram @thestellarteachercompany.

Lessons from WWII: Unleashing Private Enterprise — Arthur Herman — Herman explores the strategic tension during WWII between New Deal administrators favoring centralized government command and industrialists prioritizing private sector innovation and operational flexibility. FDR and Knudsen learned from the disastrous centralized economic control failures of WWI, choosing instead to permit American private enterprise to "determine production methodologies and develop solutions for urgent national requirements." The fundamental secret to Allied victory was unleashing private sector dynamism, entrepreneurial expertise, and competitive energy. Herman draws contemporary parallels, arguing that modern defense strategy must replicate this model, contrasting bureaucratic NASA operations with innovative private enterprises including SpaceX. 1951 THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL
