Most of us are busier, more “optimized,” and more connected than ever - yet somehow feel less alive. Why? And what would it look like to reclaim a deeper, wilder sense of humanness in a world obsessed with control?This week, Oliver Burkeman, bestselling author of Four Thousand Weeks and Meditations for Mere Mortals, returns to explore the paradox at the heart of modern life: the more we chase mastery, certainty, and perfect systems, the more we squeeze out the very aliveness we're craving. From the illusion of control to the quiet courage of letting go, we dig into how to live fully now, not “one day when everything's sorted.”Together we explore:Aliveness vs. optimization: why feeling in control can be the enemy of feeling alive — and how to make room for vitality again.“Letting go” without giving up: Elizabeth Gilbert's reframe you're not losing control; you never had it, only anxiety.Productive discomfort tolerance: sitting with the first five messy minutes, parenting, deep work, reading, and why difficulty isn't a personal failing.Resilience as release: from kintsugi to self-trust, why strength often arrives after the break, and why gripping harder rarely works.Plans that don't kill the work: using structure as a North Star, not a taskmaster, so projects keep their spark.Spontaneity on schedule? The weird trap of “time-boxing serendipity,” and the liberating truth that every moment is a choice.Comparison culture: inside vs. outside, and why someone else's serene grid may mask chaos you can't see.AI, therapy, and the human need to be held in mind: where tools help, and where only a person will do.This is a conversation about refusing to postpone life until after the emails, the crises, or the algorithm say you're done, and choosing to show up, human and imperfect, right now.Love,Sarah Ann

SHOW NOTES: On this show…we're exploring the power of pausing to see what rest can really reveal. We'll be slowing things down. Literally. In a world where “fast” is the default setting: fast food, fast lanes, fast Wi-Fi, it's easy to feel like we're always rushing. Have you ever found yourself impatient in the “wrong” line at the store, agitated by the buffering wheel, or frustrated that someone isn't replying fast enough? It's almost as if our value is tied to how quickly we can move through life. But then, without warning, we hear ourselves say something like, “Where did the time go?” or “Life is just flying by.” Strange, right? We're racing to get to the next thing…only to mourn how fast it's all passing. This week, we're hitting the brakes because maybe it's not just about productivity. Maybe there's something hidden in the quiet. A secret in the stillness. A truth that's hard to hear when everything is moving too fast. We'll dig into what it means to find the middle lane, not stuck, not speeding, but moving with intention. Together, we'll ask: What am I missing when I never slow down? What could rest reveal if I actually gave myself permission to pause? And if rest feels like a luxury you can't afford or a guilty pleasure you never let yourself enjoy, then this is the episode for you. Ready to shift gears? What does rest feel like to me? Does it feel luxurious? Lazy? Guilt-ridden? Productive? Unfamiliar? Now, here's a trickier one: When was the last time I paused, on purpose, not because I was forced to, but because I chose to? CHALLENGE: Press pause—on purpose. Not because you're burned out or forced to stop, but because you choose to check in with yourself. Create space this week for a moment of stillness. Let it be awkward, quiet, or unfamiliar if it needs to be. Then listen. Not to the world's demands—but to your own voice, your own rhythm, your own needs. I Know YOU Can Do It!  

On today's episode, we hear from Dr. Jason Tanoory—founder of Finger Lakes Dental, host of the Dental Lighthouse Podcast, and a DSI Black Belt Coach—who shares an in-depth, no-fluff breakdown on how to build scheduling systems that increase efficiency, profitability, and team harmony. Whether you're a solo practitioner, onboarding a new associate, or running a multi-doctor group, Dr. Tanoory offers practical scheduling templates and mindset shifts to reduce burnout, improve predictability, and make your days flow smoother. He explores the concept of "first chair" versus "second chair" appointments, how to leverage routers and team accountability, and why a doctor's self-awareness may be the most important scheduling tool in the office. If you've ever asked yourself, "Why does my schedule look like this?"—this one's for you. Be sure to check out the full episode from the Dentalpreneur Podcast!

Ah the lament. Poor, old RNZ's obituary of the climate-related disclosures (CRD) makes you weep. "New Zealand guts climate policy it bragged about to the world". That's their headline. What's misleading about the headline is the Government who “gutted” it isn't the Government who bragged about it. As for the gutting and the world leading - "world leading" in what sense? We were simply the first to the line with a pointless idea. The first country, if you believe it, was the previous Government that made it increasingly hard to get foreign money invested in the country because they had just produced another hurdle. It included all banks, insurers and listed companies - what for? It's very labour to just rope everyone in whether its relevant or not. Why didn't they make us all write climate reports? We all have a footprint. Airlines? Sure, they have a lot of emissions. Tell us about them in your annual report. Issues for insurance companies? Surely they would have done it anyway, given that's their business? But Turners, as in cars and Tina, raised relevant issues; 1) It wasn't similar to Australia, 2) They opened themselves up to prosecution, 3) It cost a fortune to get someone to write all the mumbo jumbo that for many companies wasn't remotely necessary. Even MBIE wrote a report saying the costs of all this nonsense were prohibitive. But don't worry - as long as we are "world leading"! What Labour never understood, and I doubt they do now, is putting the cost of business up is counter productive. Having our competitors outpace us because we are bogged down is counter productive. Even if we all wrote glorious page after page after page about our footprints and climate intent, what difference did any of it make to the environment? What got changed? Or saved? Or solved? The tragedy was too much of the media got sucked in, and clearly still does, to the “feels”. All you had to say was "look, it's a world first! A climate world first!" And you had them hook, line and sinker. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Dental Drill Bits, Dana and Sandy discuss the importance of measuring team energy and performance metrics in dental practices. They emphasize that while patient care is paramount, tracking statistics can enhance care quality and team morale. The conversation explores the concept of buy-in from team members, the significance of accountability, and how metrics can serve as tools for improvement rather than judgment. The episode concludes with actionable steps for practices to foster a positive culture through measurement and celebration of achievements. takeaways Your team's energy is crucial for productivity. Statistics can enhance patient care, not detract from it. Tracking metrics helps connect efforts to results. Buy-in from the team is essential for success. Purpose should always come before profit. Celebrating small wins boosts team morale. Metrics can reveal blind spots in practice management. Accountability fosters a culture of improvement. Positivity is contagious within a team. Consistent actions lead to predictable outcomes. titles Measuring the Pulse of Your Dental Practice The Power of Team Energy in Dentistry Sound Bites "Purpose over profit is essential."

Synopsis: What happens when godly masculine strength unites with a godly helpmate? In marriage couples are called to live out their roles—husbands as loving, sacrificial covenant heads and wives as respectful, submissive helpers—in dependence on divine grace. A "fruitful" marriage, then, produces spiritual fruit (Galatians 5:22-23), glorifies God, endures trials through faith, and bears lasting kingdom impact, extending beyond the couple to their families and communities. This union, rooted in divine grace and sovereignty, reflects the gospel—husbands as loving, sacrificial covenant heads and wives as respectful, submissive helpers—transforming imperfect relationships into powerful testimonies of redemption. Sermon Text: 1 Peter 3:3-7

This week, a nostalgic Cancer Last Quarter Moon is a time to reflect on what we've accomplished in our recent New Moon goals. Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, glides into her elegant home sign of Libra, and promptly meets up with idealistic Neptune, unpredictable Uranus, and probing Pluto. Power issues rise to the surface as Pluto stations direct. The Sun and Jupiter bring a fresh start, but might bring up conflicts in all types of relationships. Words can get a little hurtful as Mercury and Mars come together in Scorpio. And a listener question about houses in the horoscope that are ruled by the same planet - how are they connected? Plus: Calming tea, an autumn leaf, and a trip to Disneyland. Read a full transcript of this episode. It's eclipse season! Order your copy of my “Followed by a Moonshadow” eclipse report!

Timestamps: [01:44] Moon Report: Cancer Last Quarter Moon (Mon., Oct. 13, 11:13 am PDT, 20º39' Cancer-Libra). Reflect on what you've built since September's Virgo Solar Eclipse. Balance your personal spotlight (“A prima donna singing”) with collective harmony (“A crowd upon the beach”). [04:05] Lunar Phase Family Cycle (LPFC) Connects back to the July 17, 2023, New Moon in Cancer — a long-term story about power, control, and emotional authenticity, with peaks at the First Quarter Moon on April 15, 2024, and Full Moon on Jan. 13, 2025. [06:02] Void-of-Course Moons. Mon., Oct. 13, Moon in Cancer trines Saturn at 10:05 pm PDT. It's VOC for 5 hours 42 minutes, then enters Leo on Tues. Oct. 14 at 3:47 am. Perfect for bedtime reflection and initiating soothing routines. [07:18] Wed., Oct. 15, Moon in Leo sextiles Sun in Libra, 10:06 pm PDT. It's VOC for 12 hours 59 minutes, then enters Virgo on Thu. Oct. 16, 11:05 am. Express yourself creatively. [08:13] Sat., Oct. 18, Moon in Virgo opposes Saturn at 2:10 pm PDT. It's VOC for 6 hours 51 minutes, then enters Libra at 9:01 pm. A reality check — do what you can, then let go. [09:31] Venus enters Libra (Mon., Oct. 13, 2:19 pm PDT, until Nov. 6). Venus in Libra delights in beauty, grace, and harmony — but expects manners and mutual respect. It's a time for refinement, art, music, and creating peaceful surroundings. [10:56] Venus opposes Neptune (Mon., Oct. 13, 6:16 pm PDT, 0º12' Libra-Aries). Beautiful illusions or confusing emotions? This transit heightens creativity and longing. Lean into art and inspiration, but beware of wishful thinking in love or finances. [12:52] Pluto stations Direct (Mon., Oct. 13, 7:52 pm PDT) at 1° Aquarius on the Sabian symbol “An unexpected thunderstorm,” an awakening to change and empowerment. With Venus and Uranus in the mix, expect surprising revelations and renewal. Pluto has been retrograde since May 4. [14:33] Venus trines Uranus (Tue., Oct. 14, 7:09 am PDT, 0º52' Libra-Gemini). Fresh energy in relationships, art, and finances — and maybe a glimpse beneath the surface. Sabian symbols: 1 Libra, A butterfly made perfect by a dart through it, and 1 Gemini, A glass-bottomed boat in still water. [16:55] Venus trines Pluto (Tue., Oct. 14, 4:45 pm PDT, 1º22' Libra-Aquarius). Depth of feeling, and a reminder to love deeply, feel our losses, remain open to life's beauty. Sabian symbol: 2 Aquarius, An unexpected thunderstorm. [18:31] Sun Square Jupiter (Thu., Oct. 16, 10:43 pm PDT, 24º06' Libra-Cancer) Confidence meets challenge — a time to stretch beyond your comfort zone while keeping your balance. Excellent for self-promotion, creative pursuits, and reconnecting with loved ones. Sun's Sabian symbol: 25 Libra, All information in the symbol of one leaf. [21:12] Mercury conjunct Mars (Sun., Oct. 19, 11:51 pm PDT, 19º11' Scorpio). Sharp minds and sharper tongues. Productive for research and problem-solving, but watch out for heated words. Speak with care and precision. Sabian symbol: 20 Scorpio, A woman drawing two dark curtains aside. [23:02] Listener Question: Houses with the same ruler. Listener Michelle asks how life areas ruled by the same planet connect in the birth chart. April explains how a shared planetary ruler weaves together different houses — with an example from John Coltrane's chart (b. Sep. 23, 1926, 5 pm EST, Hamlet, NC, Placidus houses) that ties together creativity, study, and financial opportunity.

Back in the States, Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers handled the Browns with a vintage defensive clinic, while Justin Herbert and the Chargers edged out Miami in a wild 29–27 thriller capped by a Cameron Dicker game-winner.Elsewhere, the Buccaneers overcame injuries to topple the 49ers, the Packers rode Josh Jacobs to victory over Cincinnati in Joe Flacco's Bengals debut, and Maxx Crosby led the Raiders' defense to their best game of the year against Tennessee.We're breaking it all down — the biggest wins, the ugliest losses, and what it all means heading into Week 7.

Chuck Zodda and Mike Armstrong discuss AI juicing the economy but questions remain if workers are actually more productive because of it. Ted Rossman (Bankrate) joins the show to chat about the 2025 Holiday Spending Survey. Squeezing builders isn't the way to lower housing costs. This market is nothing like the dot-com bubble. This might be the dumbest market in history.

Main Point: Beware of the danger your tongue can do, and surrender it to Christ, who alone can tame itKey Scripture: James 3:1-12The Terrible Responsibility  of Teachers (3:1)Given the greater influence that teachers have among God's people, there is therefore a greater responsibility expected from themEven qualified leaders have in their body the one member that can ruin the whole thing—the tongueThe Temptation  We All Share (3:2-12)The power of the tongue for good (vv. 2-5a)The power of the tongue for evil (vv. 5b-8)A powerful dilemma (vv. 9-12)The sad reality is that our words as God's people sometimes give life, and other times deplete it, which is completely contrary to our faithCutting, careless, and contaminated speech is out of step with our faith and contrary to God's vision for his creationThe Only One Who Can Tame the TongueWe are to let the word of Christ dwell richly in us, so that its way of speaking becomes our manner of speechIs what I'm about to say true? Helpful? Holy? Productive?

We've talked a lot about AI this season, but this week we're discussing its place in Education with one of our own, Ari Moreland. Artificial Intelligence is reshaping classrooms across the country. From the White House to the schoolhouse, a new challenge is encouraging schools and organizations to embrace AI. And Indiana has updated graduation requirements that now emphasize STEM skills.We'll also review how tech giants like Google are looking to dominate the space with tools like NotebookLM, AI-powered features in Google Classroom, and new capabilities coming straight to Chromebooks. But is AI truly enhancing education, or is it taking away from the learning process? How do we draw the line between AI as a helpful study partner and AI as a shortcut? Join us as we unpack what's happening, what it means for students, parents, and teachers, and where AI could take education next.

What makes a brand unforgettable instead of overlooked? Tom Miner knows. As Head of Global Social Media at Crocs, he helped drive one of today's biggest brand turnarounds. Now author of Social First Brands, Tom shares how embracing productive tension, making personality your secret weapon, and riding trends that matter can turn comments into real community. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why Crocs' turnaround shows the power of leaning into brand polarity How to know if brand tension is productive instead of problematic What it really means to be a “social first” brand—and why fearlessness is key Why unhinged marketing works for some brands and flops for others The difference between comments, engagement, and true community Episode Chapters (00:00) Intro (00:35) Welcome to Tom Miner (01:22) Crocs as a brand turnaround case study (04:41) Embracing polarity and productive tension (09:08) What it means to be a social first brand (13:21) Fearlessness and comfort levels in social strategy (15:32) Unhinged marketing and authentic brand personality (18:18) Comments versus true community (22:43) Liquid Death as a social first example (25:10) The brand that made Tom smile (27:10) Where to learn more About Tom Miner Tom Miner is a social media strategist and the author of Social First Brands.
