This is The Energy to Heal, your resource for all things Splankna, the faith-based inner healing modality that will help you achieve emotional freedom. In this episode, Laura Milliken sits down with Leanne O'Neil, a former neurofeedback practitioner who made the bold decision to sell her practice and go all-in on Splankna after seeing deeper, faster, and more affordable results for emotional regulation and trauma support. Leanne shares her fascinating professional journey out of brain-based technology and into a Christ-centered, mind-body approach to emotional freedom. Together, Laura and Leanne explore why Splankna often reaches places that traditional brain training and neurofeedback cannot—especially when it comes to trauma, subconscious patterns, and forgiveness. This episode also takes a surprising turn into the growing scientific and academic interest in forgiveness and emotional regulation, highlighting how leading universities are now studying the role of forgiveness in mental health, stress reduction, and human flourishing. Leanne explains how forgiveness work fits naturally into Splankna sessions and why unresolved emotional pain can quietly keep people stuck—even when they are highly motivated to change. If you are curious about neurofeedback, trauma support, forgiveness research, or why someone would walk away from a successful clinical practice to follow Jesus into a completely different model of care—this episode will give you clarity, hope, and language to understand what Splankna actually offers.

On a warm-for-February day in Minnesota, Brad dives into two topics shaping today's dairy landscape: changing dairy herd demographics in the Upper Midwest and new research on dairy cow preferences for grooming brushes.The episode opens with a look at dairy farm numbers in Minnesota, where the state has lost nearly 37% of its dairy farms since 2019—dropping from 2,567 to just 1,622 operations. Brad breaks down herd size distribution, showing Minnesota remains dominated by small herds (especially 50–100 cows), even as the number of very large herds continues to grow. He also highlights where dairy farms are concentrated geographically, with Stearns County leading the state, and notes that seven Minnesota counties now have no dairy farms at all.Brad then compares Minnesota to Wisconsin, which still has over 5,100 licensed dairy farms. Wisconsin's dairy industry includes a notable number of goat dairies (nearly 400) and a small but interesting presence of sheep dairies. He walks through the top dairy counties in Wisconsin, illustrating how dairy production clusters in central, southwestern, and Green Bay–adjacent regions.In the second half of the episode, Brad discusses a new Purdue University study examining dairy cow preferences for grooming brushes. Researchers compared three brush types—swinging and rotating, swinging only, and stationary—and found that more than 75% of cows preferred the swinging, rotating brush. Cows spent several minutes grooming their heads, backs, and rumps, with rotating brushes offering the most engagement and relaxation. While stationary brushes were used mainly for head scratching, the study suggests that offering a variety of brush types may give cows valuable choice and enrichment.Brad wraps up by reflecting on what these trends mean for dairy farm viability, animal welfare, and management decisions—leaving listeners with practical insights and plenty to think about.Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory

Tune in to hear Head of School, Dr. Mark Carleton, chat with Brandon Walker, Head of Middle School, about his journey from an independent school student to a teacher, administrator, and parent. Brandon's life and career trajectory was altered by independent school educators who saw his promise and had the capacity and desire to invest in his growth. Their belief in him, coupled with access to rigorous academics and meaningful mentorship, not only changed his life but inspired his commitment to doing the same for others. This episode is now live and available for download on our People of PS Podcast. Brandon holds a bachelor's degree in Psychology and Statistics from Purdue University and a Master of Education in Independent School Leadership from Vanderbilt University. His leadership is rooted in the conviction that schools are more than academic institutions; they are places where students are known, challenged, and empowered. He considers it both a privilege and a calling to help shape an environment where adults invest in students' potential and every student flourishes. Outside of school, Brandon enjoys reading, journaling, camping/hiking, and spending time with his family.

On today's WHAT THE TRUCK?!?!, host Malcolm Harris takes a wide-angle look at the forces reshaping freight in 2026, from autonomous trucking and fleet safety to regulation, compliance, and ongoing market volatility. The episode blends breaking industry headlines with two in-depth conversations that explore where trucking is headed and what fleets need to be thinking about right now. The show kicks off with a global freight and logistics roundup, including federal compliance cost cuts for fuel haulers, Allegiant's move into air cargo with Amazon freight, expanding CDL compliance crackdowns in Tennessee, and Louisiana's growing staged truck accident investigation. Malcolm also highlights Purdue University's successful wireless charging test for a heavy-duty truck at highway speeds, Southeastern Freight Lines' expansion into Mexico, and what these developments signal for capacity, safety, and future freight operations. The first featured guest is Don Burnette, Founder and CEO of Kodiak, who joins the show to break down how autonomous trucking has officially moved beyond the demo phase. Don explains how Kodiak's AI-powered trucks are operating in real, driverless commercial service today and why the industry conversation has shifted from if autonomy works to how fast it can scale. The discussion covers Kodiak's partnership with Bosch, the importance of manufacturing-grade hardware, redundancy, and system reliability, as well as how trust is built with fleets, regulators, and the public. Don also offers a realistic perspective on what autonomous trucking solves today, what challenges remain, and how fleets should think about autonomy in a tight and uncertain freight market. Later in the episode, Cyndi Brandt, VP of Fleet Solutions at Descartes, brings a fleet-side view of safety, compliance, and operational efficiency. Cyndi explains why safety risks often begin long before a truck ever hits the road, highlighting the role of planning, dispatch, and unrealistic schedules in creating stress and unsafe driving behaviors. She dives into how congestion, tight delivery windows, and poor route planning show up in real-time fleet data, and why stress is one of the most measurable — and overlooked — safety risks in trucking today. The conversation also explores how telematics, routing tools, and execution data can be used proactively to reduce risk rather than simply monitor compliance.

Cyndi explains why safety risks often begin long before a truck ever hits the road, highlighting the role of planning, dispatch, and unrealistic schedules in creating stress and unsafe driving behaviors. She dives into how congestion, tight delivery windows, and poor route planning show up in real-time fleet data, and why stress is one of the most measurable — and overlooked — safety risks in trucking today. The conversation also explores how telematics, routing tools, and execution data can be used proactively to reduce risk rather than simply monitor compliance.

Join us for today's freight roundup as we explore the financial maneuvers and technological breakthroughs transforming the logistics landscape. This episode dives into how activist investor Ancora has carved out a niche in the transportation sector, driving leadership shakeups at major companies like Norfolk Southern and Forward Air to boost shareholder returns. We also analyze the 2025 holiday rush, where large parcel carriers significantly improved on-time delivery rates despite facing higher volumes than the previous year. Data reveals that the U.S. Postal Service achieved the largest performance jump, while UPS maintained the highest overall reliability during the peak season. In technology news, we discuss a major milestone in electric infrastructure where Purdue University achieved the first U.S. wireless charging of a heavy-duty truck traveling at highway speeds. This innovative system delivered 190 kilowatts of power to a moving vehicle, a breakthrough that could eventually allow for smaller batteries and increased cargo capacity. Looking at cross-border trade, we profile a Mexican-built logistics startup, WeShip, which has set its sights on U.S. expansion after rapid growth in its home market. The company aims to compete in the concentrated American parcel sector by leveraging software designed by former e-commerce operators to solve real-world shipping pain points. Finally, we address developing concerns in the brokerage space as the R&R Family of Companies faces uncertainty amid executive departures and reports of payment delays. Industry sources warn of potential operational disruptions across the Pittsburgh-based group's subsidiaries, including R&R Express, alongside signals of credit tightening.

On today's FreightWaves Morning Minute, we discuss Allegiant Air's $1.5 billion acquisition of Sun Country Airlines, a merger heavily supported by Amazon through the addition of two extra cargo jets. This strategic move allows the combined company to leverage year-round cargo revenue to offset the seasonality of leisure travel, with cargo earnings expected to top $215 million this year. In technology news, researchers at Purdue University have successfully demonstrated the ability to wirelessly charge a heavy-duty truck while it travels at highway speeds. By delivering 190 kilowatts of power through pavement-embedded coils, this breakthrough could drastically reduce the need for massive EV batteries and allow carriers to haul more freight. STG Logistics has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, utilizing a pre-negotiated deal to eliminate nearly $1 billion in debt while securing $150 million in new capital. Company leadership insists this is a restructuring rather than a liquidation, aiming to use the fresh funding to support operations and emerge from the process in approximately five months. Finally, tune in to FreightWaves TV for a state of freight webinar with Craig Fuller and Zack Strickland to help navigate the 2026 market.

Farmer sentiment dipped slightly in December, with the Purdue University/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer dropping 3 points to 136. The decline was attributable to a softening in producers' long-term outlook. The Future Expectations Index fell 4 points from the previous month to 140, while the Current Conditions Index remained steady at 128. Crop producers expressed increased concern about the competitiveness of U.S. soybean exports as Brazil expands its role in global markets, contributing to the more cautious outlook. The survey was conducted Dec. 1-5, 2025. Purdue ag economists James Mintert and Michael Langemeier review the results from the Ag Economy Barometer and give their insights into farmer sentiment and the farm economy. The Ag Economy Barometer sentiment index is calculated each month from 400 U.S. agricultural producers' responses to a telephone survey. Further details on the full report is available at https://purdue.edu/agbarometer. Slides and the transcript from the discussion can be found at https://purdue.ag/agcast204.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Alefiyah Lindo discuss:Planning the future by evaluating what actually workedSupporting happiness without trying to control itUsing energy as a diagnostic tool for alignmentTreating burnout as feedback and adjusting accordingly Key Takeaways:Reviewing the past year reveals which habits, strategies, and commitments deserve to continue and which do not. Entering a new year without reflection leads to repeating default patterns rather than making intentional choices. Sustainable growth comes from consistency and long-term relationship building, not one-off efforts.You cannot create happiness for others, only support their ability to create it themselves. Taking responsibility for other people's emotional outcomes leads to exhaustion and blurred boundaries. Healthy leadership and parenting require allowing others to experience discomfort and self-direction.Alignment exists when beliefs, words, actions, and emotions are consistent with one another. Chronic fatigue, burnout, and self-sabotage are indicators of misalignment rather than laziness or failure. Tracking what energizes and depletes you provides clearer guidance than what you think you “should” enjoy.Burnout signals a need to realign priorities, responsibilities, and expectations. Bringing subconscious patterns into conscious awareness is a prerequisite for lasting change. Different results require different actions, even when those actions challenge long-held assumptions. "Energy work really is when what we believe, what we say, what we do, and what we feel are all on the same page. That's what energy alignment is." — Alefiyah Lindo Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again.
