John got hung up in the recent storms and was trapped at various airports so thankfully - democratic strategist Max Burns jumped in last minute and helped out. Max Burns takes the reins diving into Trump's recent comments about Cuba, where he mistakenly claims the island is not in a hurricane zone. This absurdity sets the tone for a discussion filled with political satire and insights. Then, joining Max is Salt Lake City Council member Ava Lopez Chavez, who brings to light the alarming news that the Department of Homeland Security has secretly negotiated a deal to turn a warehouse in Salt Lake City into one of the nation's largest immigrant detention camps. Ava passionately discusses the implications of this deal, emphasizing the need for transparency and accountability in government actions that affect local communities. As the conversation unfolds, veteran journalist Brian Karam joins to provide his perspective on the ongoing chaos in Washington. He highlights the dysfunction within Congress and the alarming shift towards voter suppression tactics, particularly through the proposed Save America act. Brian's insights shed light on the potential consequences of these actions for American democracy and the urgent need for civic engagement.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
We try to avoid thinking about death. We push it into the background of our minds. But beneath the surface of our thoughts there is a quiet "hum" of mortality creating an undercurrent of anxiety. In this episode of Wisdom of the Sages, a deeply personal reflection on aging, grief, and mortality opens into a powerful exploration of spiritual philosophy. Raghunath and Kaustubha explain that the only way to quiet that hum is not by ignoring it, but by confronting it with truth — truth about the nature of the self and the liberating insights of Vedic wisdom. The discussion also explores one of the most mysterious teachings of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam — an ancient Sanskrit text that explores devotion to Krishna and the nature of the soul: the story of the gopīs — the cowherd women of Vrindavan whose hearts were completely absorbed in Krishna. Their vulnerability reveals the essence of devotion — surrendering the ego and awakening divine love.

1 Kings 6:1-7
Why do so many capable, intelligent people keep saying yes when they mean no? In this episode, Dr. Bray explores the quiet pattern of self-compromise that slowly erodes confidence and self-respect. This is not about being weak in an obvious way. It is about the subtle moments where we trade alignment for approval in work, relationships, dating, and everyday interactions. Dr. Bray breaks down why our brains are wired to prioritize belonging, how chronic self-abandonment damages internal strength, and the practical steps to build what he calls internal authority. You will learn how to pause under pressure, tolerate discomfort, set clear boundaries, and stop betraying yourself in small moments. This episode will challenge you in the best way and give you a path toward becoming steady, aligned, and powerful without becoming harsh. Quotes by Dr. Bray "When you say yes but mean no, you think no one will notice—but the most important person notices: you." "Every time you compromise who you are to avoid discomfort, you teach your nervous system that your authenticity is dangerous." "If you do not define your standards in calm moments, you will abandon them in intense ones." "Feeling uncomfortable when you stop compromising does not mean you are wrong. It means your nervous system is adjusting."
A Quiet Return: Ten Years of Grief and the Bridges We BuildAfter an unexpected, unplanned two-month pause, Melissa returns to The Leftover Pieces Podcast with a quiet and honest reflection on what it means to reach the ten-year mark after losing her son Alex to suicide.So, as she says, this wasn't a planned break. But as the calendar turned toward a full decade of living without her child, something in Melissa needed to slow down, reflect, and listen more closely to what this next season of grief — and this next season of the podcast — might look like.In this relaunch episode, Melissa shares openly about the weight of long-term grief, the ways child loss continues to shape identity even many years later, and the realization that healing doesn't mean leaving our children behind.She also reflects on a powerful dream that helped her understand the guiding word that arrived at the beginning of the year: bridge — a symbol of learning to live forward while still carrying everything that matters.This episode marks the beginning of a new chapter for the podcast.In the months ahead, Melissa will be leaning into deeper conversations about what grief looks like beyond the early years, especially for bereaved mothers navigating the long road of life after child loss.Upcoming episodes will include:• conversations with mothers further along in their grief journeys • reflections on identity, resilience, and rebuilding life after loss • honest discussions about the parts of grief that rarely get talked about once the world assumes we're “better” • continued support for those navigating suicide loss and traumatic child lossWhether you are early in your grief or many years down the road, this season will explore what it truly means to live forward while carrying the love and memory of those we've lost.As always, take what serves you… and leave the rest.Resources & SupportIf you are looking for additional support after suicide loss, or you are a bereaved mother navigating life after traumatic child loss, you can explore coaching, writing support, and grief resources at:www.theleftoverpieces.comMelissa offers:• one-on-one grief coaching • support for mothers navigating child loss • guidance for those who feel called to write or share their loved one's story • resources for suicide loss survivors and familiesSupport the show__________________________________________________________________________ Get THE Leftover Pieces APP & don't miss anything!

What would it mean to disentangle humanities scholarship from combative, extractive, and colonial ways of knowing and writing? This is the question that animates Quiet Methodologies: Humility in the Humanities (U Minnesota Press), the latest book by literary scholar and poet Suzanne Bost. Quiet Methodologies isn't a traditional work of literary scholarship. Instead, the book reaches toward alternative ways of thinking with and teaching literature, grounded in speculation and conversation. It models a quiet kind of humanities work, committed not to asserting answers but to asking questions, not to claiming mastery but to embracing uncertainty. For all its quietness, then, Quiet Methodologies is a bold and challenging work. Speaking to a moment of crisis within and beyond the academy, its provocations and explorations will be of interest to scholars and students working across humanities disciplines. In conversation with Alix Beeston, Bost shares about the literary archives and scholarly works that helped her to unlearn scholarly conventions. She sets out her vision for reimagining humanities labor in terms of ethical responsibility, receptiveness, care—and even, perhaps, love. Learn more about your ad choices.

Does it ever feel like there is a literal roar inside your head? The "should-haves," the "what-ifs," and that crushing mental anguish that fills the silence your child left behind—that is grief noise. It's loud, it's heavy, and it's exhausting to carry the weight of a mind trying to make sense of something that will never fully make sense this side of heaven. In this episode, we step into the next part of our Permission and Practice series by talking about something many grieving moms experience but rarely know how to quiet: the noise inside their minds. Through the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19 and the promise found in Isaiah 26:3, you'll begin to see that God is not found in the loud storm of grief thoughts, but in the gentle whisper that invites your mind toward peace. Inside this conversation, you'll discover… Why the "grief noise" demands 100% of your bandwidth and how the enemy mimics your own voice to keep you in a loop of shame. The vital difference between having a perfect understanding of your circumstances and having a mind fixed on the Prince of Peace. How to identify the "wind, earthquake, and fire" in your own life so you can finally hear the gentle whisper of the Father. The two essential pillars you must seek to keep from burning out in the isolation that grief often creates. If your mind has felt like a battlefield and the noise of grief refuses to quiet, this conversation will remind you that you are not alone—and that God still meets weary hearts in the whisper. Press play and allow this moment to help you turn your thoughts toward the peace God promises.
This week we've been talking about the quiet millionaire formula for retirement.
Today's poem is The Quiet World by Jeffrey McDaniel. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “Poets are known for making big moves in small spaces. We value brevity and compression, which go hand in hand. In a brief poem, maybe a poem with only a handful of lines, each word weighs a ton. We have to choose them carefully. An enormous amount of meaning — and possibility — is packed inside every word. I picture them as expandable suitcases, unzipped so that we can stuff even more inside them. That's compression! The words themselves may be few, but they carry a great deal.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today. Every donation makes a difference: https://tinyurl.com/rjm4synp

Send a textThe internet lost its mind when the news dropped: David Goggins is entering the Air Force Pararescue pipeline.Instant hot takes. Instant outrage. Instant “he's stealing a slot from some kid.”Trent jumps in solo to break down what's actually happening—and what people are getting completely wrong.First, Goggins isn't taking a slot from an 18-year-old. He's coming in through a retraining slot, the same process used for prior-service members moving into the career field. Second, the pipeline isn't some fragile institution that collapses because a famous guy shows up.Trent digs into the emotional reactions inside the community, the weird internet myths about Indoc credibility, and the bigger picture that most people are missing. Love him or hate him, Goggins shines a massive spotlight on Air Force Special Warfare—and that might be the recruiting exposure the community has been asking for for years.This episode isn't hype. It's context.And maybe a reminder that the loudest opinions online usually understand the least about how the pipeline actually works. goggins-trent-draft⏱️ Timestamps00:00 Ones Ready intro and episode setup 01:10 Why everyone is freaking out about Goggins 03:30 The truth about retraining slots 06:10 Is Goggins “stealing” a pipeline spot? 08:30 Attrition myths and pipeline realities 10:40 Emotional attachment to Indoc and selection 13:00 The wild credibility argument about Goggins 15:20 Quiet professionals vs recruiting reality 17:45 Why most Americans don't know AFSW exists 20:00 Trent's honest take on David Goggins 23:00 Why the exposure could help recruiting 26:30 Potential risks and potential upside 29:20 Will he actually make it through the pipeline? 31:30 The internet reactions and community debates 34:00 Final thoughts on Goggins and the pipeline
What if influence is not about pressure, but about understanding what truly moves people? On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Yusuf, Dr. Will Horton explores how influence quietly shapes choices in work, family, and everyday conversations. This episode is for listeners who want to communicate more consciously, understand what drives behavior, and become more aware of how attention, emotion, and social needs shape decisions. About the Guest: Dr. Will Horton is a psychology educator and author who teaches influence, behavior, and communication. In this conversation, he shares practical insights from his work on how people make decisions and respond to messages. Episode Chapter: 00:06:46 — Why influence is often misunderstood 00:08:17 — Influence vs manipulation 00:09:31 — Why emotions shape decisions first 00:14:08 — The six social drivers behind behavior 00:16:17 — Social media, attention, and mental filtering 00:20:22 — Why smart people can still be influenced 00:23:07 — Using influence with greater awareness Key Takeaways: Influence begins before words. People often decide emotionally, then explain logically. Social needs like approval, significance, and power shape behavior. What you focus on trains your mind to notice more of it. Better influence starts with understanding what matters to others. How to Connect With the Guest: Website: hortonpsychology.com Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this episode, we're diving into something so many women experience but rarely understand: the connection between your nervous system and your intuition. If you've been feeling confused, foggy, or unsure about your next step in life, business, or relationships, you're not alone. Many high-achieving women assume that when clarity disappears, it means they're doing something wrong. They think they need to analyze harder, gather more information, or force a decision. But the truth is much deeper. Your intuition isn't broken. Often, it's simply being drowned out by a nervous system that is in survival mode. When your body perceives stress, uncertainty, or change as a threat, it activates protective responses designed to keep you safe. In this state, your brain prioritizes control, prediction, and problem-solving rather than intuition and inner knowing. That's why the more you try to “figure things out,” the more confusing everything can feel. In this episode, we explore how nervous system dysregulation can block your intuition, why high-achieving women often struggle with this pattern, and how learning to regulate your body can reconnect you to your inner guidance. You'll learn why clarity doesn't come from thinking harder, but from creating internal safety. We also talk about the emotional and psychological patterns that keep many women stuck in overthinking, control, and constant decision fatigue—and how those patterns can disconnect you from your deeper wisdom. If you've ever felt stuck between two choices, unsure of your next step, or disconnected from your usual sense of direction, this episode will help you understand what's actually happening beneath the surface. If you need help accessing your intuition or gaining clarity, book a SRT session with Aubrey today
A throwaway comment can reveal more about workplace norms than the person chucking it around ever realises. Recently I heard one that made me pause. It sparked a line of questioning about personality, perception and the curious ways quieter people are sometimes judged. We introverts are familiar with the subtle pressure to appear a certain way in professional spaces. Yet I can't help but wonder where the issue really lies. In this episode I explore that tension and invite us to consider what we truly believe about personality and contribution. Key Points

In a world that moves quickly, it's easy to live at a pace that leaves our hearts hurried and distracted. In this episode, I'm sharing reflections from a slower season away and what the Lord has been teaching me about the pace of my days. It's easy to fill every quiet space with noise and constant input. But when I look at the life of Jesus, I see something different. I see presence. Unhurried conversations. Intentional time with people. Quiet moments in prayer. The pace of our days doesn't just affect our schedules. It affects our souls. We'll talk about how ordinary life is where God meets us, how our daily patterns shape our hearts, and how small, intentional choices help us reclaim presence in a distracted world. Looking at the example of Christ and the encouragement of Psalm 1, we'll be reminded that reclaiming ordinary life doesn't require dramatic changes. It begins with small steps of faithfulness right where God has placed us. Head over to ThankfulHomemaker.com for full show notes on all the links and resources mentioned in today's episode.

Most people think the loudest, busiest, most aggressive people win in business. But in my experience, the opposite is often true. Some of the most successful people I know are surprisingly quiet. They're not chasing attention. They're not constantly hustling. And yet they consistently build wealth and earn massive respect. Why? Because they practice three habits that most people completely overlook. And once you understand them, you'll realize why quiet people often end up winning.

Kelly Hall on how lawmakers are quietly dismantling ballot initiatives—and how voters are fighting back. Ballot measures have become one of the most powerful tools voters have to bypass politicians and pass policy directly—from raising the minimum wage to expanding Medicaid to protecting reproductive rights. But according to Kelly Hall of The Fairness Project, that power is under coordinated attack. In this episode, Jen Taylor-Skinner talks with Hall about the organization's new report, Direct Democracy Under Assault, and the accelerating effort to weaken the ballot initiative process across the country. They discuss how lawmakers are changing the rules to make ballot measures harder to qualify, harder to pass, and easier for politicians to manipulate after voters have already spoken. They also explore why these attacks are not just procedural—they're a warning sign. Rights are often lost gradually, through technical changes and bureaucratic barriers that seem small on their own but add up over time. If voting rights are eroded drip by drip, Hall argues, direct democracy can disappear the same way. This is a conversation about ballot measures, yes—but also about power, representation, and what it means when politicians decide they no longer need to listen to voters. READ THE REPORT: ATTACKS ON DIRECT DEMOCRACY DOUBLED IN 2025 EPISODE CHAPTERS: 00:00 — What ballot measures are and why they matter Kelly explains the ballot initiative process and why it has become such an important democratic tool in an era of political dysfunction. 04:15 — The Fairness Project's new report: Direct Democracy Under Assault Kelly breaks down the report's central finding: attacks on ballot measures are accelerating fast. 08:20 — The numbers behind the backlash Jen and Kelly discuss the scale of the legislative assault, including the dramatic rise in anti-ballot-measure bills. 09:30 — Why the backlash is happening now Kelly connects the attacks to recent ballot measure victories, especially on reproductive rights. 11:15 — Why this isn't just about abortion The conversation widens to include wages, Medicaid, voting protections, gerrymandering, and other policies voters can pursue through ballot initiatives. 12:00 — Who is behind these attacks? Kelly draws an important distinction between Republican voters and a small group of extremist Republican lawmakers attacking direct democracy. 14:45 — What it means when politicians refuse to listen to voters Jen and Kelly discuss the deeper democratic crisis revealed by these efforts. 19:20 — What would a healthy balance look like? A discussion about how ballot measures and legislatures might work together in a better-functioning democracy. 22:10 — Why voters split their tickets but support progressive ballot measuresKelly talks through the complexity and nuance of how people vote. 26:20 — How rights erode “drip by drip”One of the most powerful parts of the conversation: how democratic rights are lost gradually, through cumulative procedural attacks. 28:50 — The Florida exampleKelly explains how Florida has become a case study in making ballot measures harder to use. 32:20 — The Missouri exampleA look at how politicians use delay tactics and bureaucratic obstruction to interfere with the process. 36:50 — Fighting back: ballot measures to protect ballot measuresKelly explains how some states are going on offense by using ballot initiatives to strengthen direct democracy itself. 39:20 — Can there be federal protection for ballot measures?A discussion about the limits of federal intervention and why this remains a state-level fight. 40:20 — What people can do right nowKelly shares where the front lines are and how listeners can support this work. 42:20 — Why this matters even if you don't live in a ballot-measure state The episode closes with a reminder that these fights affect all of us.

Virginia is moving a sweeping package of gun control bills that mirrors California's most restrictive laws — permit-to-purchase schemes, magazine bans, excise taxes, expanded red flag laws, under-21 prohibitions, and industry liability attacks. This is not isolated legislation. It's a coordinated anti-gun surge spreading state to state. We break down what's happening, what it means nationally, and why culture and activism matter as much as lawsuits.

On this week’s episode we’re talking about what it actually means when you’re not in the mood for sex, and why it usually has nothing to do with something being “wrong” with you. This episode reframes desire through safety, softness, and nervous system regulation, and shares simple ways to reconnect with your body without pressure or performance. We also challenge the idea that sex is about pleasing someone else, and bring the focus back to connection, curiosity, and self-trust. If desire has started to feel forced or confusing, this conversation will help you soften back into it, on your terms.

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. # 1330 Canada's Quiet Pressure Machine: Surveillance, Contractors, and the Cost of Crossing Power Richard Syrett welcomes author Jeff Brown to revisit the disturbing story at the center of his new book In Trudeau's Kitchen. Brown says it began with an unexpected outreach from Sophie Grégoire Trudeau that drew him into the orbit of Canada's most powerful political household. What followed, he claims, was a bewildering chain of events involving personal communications, psychological pressure, digital suppression, and years of surveillance. Tonight, Brown returns to go deeper—reopening a story that raises unsettling questions about power, influence networks, and the unseen machinery operating behind modern politics. . GUEST: Jeff Brown is a former criminal lawyer, psychotherapist, and best-selling author whose work explores psychology, spirituality, and the hidden dynamics of power. His latest book, In Trudeau's Kitchen: My Unexpected Journey with Politics, Power and the Global Elite, recounts his controversial and deeply personal experience after being drawn into the orbit of Sophie Grégoire Trudeau. Brown argues that his story reveals a rarely seen architecture of influence operating behind modern political life—where technology, private actors, and reputation management quietly shape outcomes far from public view.

Hour 1: 3/9/26: Grant and Danny react to a slow start to NFL Free Agency for the Washington Commanders.
Send a textEver look at a medical bill and wonder who actually gets paid—and why the numbers make no sense? We sat down with Dr. Christopher Eamon, interventional pain physician, and Tim Groth, CEO of Groth Pain & Spine, to map the full journey from exam room to reimbursement, and the hidden incentives shaping your care. From CPT and ICD-10 codes to clearinghouses and payer edits, we break down the back-end machinery that turns a note into a claim, and a claim into money… or a denial.We get candid about audits and takebacks—how Medicare can pay without prior review, then claw funds back years later—forcing practices to repay money already used to run clinics and pay doctors. That risk pushes small practices to the brink while large health systems negotiate two to five times Medicare rates and pass higher coinsurance onto patients. The price gap explains why your deductible hits harder at a hospital than at an independent office, and why many clinicians feel trapped between quality and volume.Then we tackle approvals and gatekeeping: why evidence-based procedures like spinal cord stimulation stall under shifting rules, how “peer-to-peer” often means a non-specialist reading policy instead of the literature, and how hours spent appealing denials come straight out of patient time. We share real examples of arbitrary criteria, odd denials, and the emotional toll of telling a patient the best option won't be covered.So how do independent practices survive? By rethinking workflows with scribes and extended intakes, building multidisciplinary teams, and cross-subsidizing essential but underpaid services. We explore concierge care as a lifeline for time and access, the rise of MSOs to pool admin costs, and the hard truth that rate-setting often bears little relation to clinical complexity. Along the way, we confront the broken math of premiums, deductibles, and end-of-life spending—and ask what smarter tradeoffs could look like if we valued healthier years over bureaucratic churn.If you've ever felt lost in prior auths, frustrated by surprise bills, or curious why a surgeon might earn less than a device rep in the same case, this conversation will connect the dots and give you language to ask better questions.
