What makes a bun dance?In Episode #513 of 'Meanderings', Juan & I discuss: the definition of abundance versus how futurists/technologists and everyday folks actually use it, the conflation of “lots of something” with “zero friction access,” whether abundance must be global or can be meaningfully local, test the concept across water, food, intelligence and money, why more does not equal free (or even better), scarcity's persistent psychological pull, whether a world of replicators (à la Star Trek) would make us healthier or simply more indulgent, Dyson spheres/Matryoshka brains/chess engines and why perfect performance is boring compared to messy human stories.

Talking with kids about sex, pornography, and sexuality can stir up fear, shame, and a deep sense of inadequacy for many parents. In this episode, Dan and Rachael sit down with author and parent-educator Laurie Krieg to think through a steadier, wiser way forward—one rooted in the gospel, attunement, and ongoing relationship rather than one-time "big talks." Drawing from her new book "Raising Wise Kids in a Sexually Broken World," Laurie shares her own journey as she offers parents help to move from reactivity to intentionality. She names why these conversations feel so overwhelming—often because of our own unresolved stories—and invites parents to do their own work so they can show up with courage and calm.  Rather than avoiding hard topics or responding with fear and control, Laurie offers concrete, age-appropriate ways to engage kids through many small conversations over time, helping parents become the trusted "anchor" their children return to when confusion, curiosity, or exposure inevitably arises. This conversation is especially helpful for parents navigating early exposure to pornography, online content, and rapidly changing technology. Laurie shares practical language parents can use, how to reduce shame when kids encounter inappropriate material, and how to frame boundaries not around fear, but around God's beautiful design for bodies, intimacy, and care.  Throughout, the emphasis is clear: it's never too late to begin, repair matters more than perfection, and wisdom is something parents can grow into—step by step—as they walk alongside their children in a complex world. ===== About the Allender Center Podcast: For over a decade, the Allender Center Podcast has offered honest, thoughtful conversations about the deep work of healing and transformation.

What does it really take to build a global movement without sacrificing your health, faith, or family in the process? In this powerful guest episode, Kelly sits down with Amanda Tress, founder of Faster Way to Fat Loss, to unpack how a personal health crisis turned into one of the most impactful fitness and nutrition movements in the world, serving hundreds of thousands of women globally.

Harvard-trained psychologist and resilience expert Dr. Robert Brooks has spent decades watching what helps kids thrive and also what breaks them down. In this conversation with Ginny Yurich, he flips the script from “what's wrong” to what's strong: how to spot and honor your child's islands of competence, why resilience is rooted in at least one steady adult a child can “gather strength” from, and how empathy changes everything from discipline to screen habits to the way we speak when kids melt down. You'll walk away with language you can use today, a fresh way to think about technology and AI without panic, and a deeper reminder that children don't need perfect parents but they do need present ones who help them feel valued, capable, and truly known.

What if the tension so many mothers feel isn't a personal failure but a sign that modern parenting has drifted too far from what children actually need? In this episode of The Millionaire Mother Podcast, Cait sits down with Chinyelu Kunz, founder of We Nurture, longtime Waldorf early childhood educator, author, and mother of three grown children raised fully within the Waldorf tradition. Together, Cait and Chinyelu explore why so many children struggle with regulation and behavior today, the critical difference between schedules and rhythm, and how imagination, storytelling, and predictable daily anchors support a child's nervous system in profound ways. Tune in to hear: What Waldorf education actually is and why it's often misunderstood Why rushing childhood creates more resistance, not resilience The difference between rigid schedules and body-based rhythm How rhythm provides children with safety and emotional regulation Why imagination is foundational to learning, creativity, and confidence How storytelling and play shape a child's inner world Why children don't want control but do need predictability Simple "anchors of the day" that support calmer family life How to parent with reverence while still living in the modern world What it looks like to witness who your child already is, rather than trying to shape them Connect with Chinyelu: The Little Book of Parenting: How to Nurture Your Child to their Full Potential Children's book - Away To Dreamland - Cozy Bedtime Poems, Stories, and Rhymes Instagram: @we_nurture Website: https://wenurturecollective.com We Nurture: Waldorf Inspired Parenting Podcast Home Rhythms Made Simple Course   Join the Beloved masterclass with Mel Wells on 2/17

Most baseball families believe the path to success is more reps, more pressure, more seriousness — but former World Series champion and MLB manager Kurt Suzuki sees it differently. In this special episode of The Most Valuable Agent, MLB agent Matt Hannaford sits down with Kurt Suzuki and his 12-year-old son Kai for an honest, refreshing conversation about youth baseball, parenting, pressure, and what actually builds confident, resilient players. This isn't a highlight-reel interview — it's a real look inside how a big leaguer thinks about development before the stats, rankings, and expectations take over. Kurt opens up about the mistakes he made as a player, the lessons he wishes he learned earlier, and why his number-one rule as a dad and coach is never telling a kid to "do more" after a bad game. Together, they talk through the emotional side of baseball: handling failure, separating identity from performance, why fun matters more than trophies at 12 years old, and how parents can support growth without accidentally creating burnout. Kai shares what it's actually like growing up around the big leagues — from clubhouse prank stories to what helps him stay loose when games get tense. If you're a parent, coach, or player navigating travel ball, pressure-filled weekends, and the constant feeling that your kid should be doing more — this episode brings clarity, perspective, and a much-needed exhale. Subscribe for weekly insight on player development, mindset, recruiting, and the business of baseball — with conversations families rarely get to hear this honestly. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN • Why "having fun" isn't soft — it's a competitive advantage • How Kurt separates being a dad from being a coach • The one phrase Kurt refuses to say after bad games • Why practice should be intense — but games should be free • How kids absorb pressure even when adults think they're hiding it • Why winning at 12 doesn't matter as much as learning how to win • How to teach confidence without tying identity to performance • What youth players actually need after failure • How clubhouse culture translates directly to youth baseball teams • Why burnout often starts with good intentions from parents ABOUT KURT SUZUKI Kurt Suzuki is a former MLB catcher, World Series champion, and current Major League manager. Over a 16-year big league career, he became known as a leader, game-caller, and teammate-first professional. Today, Kurt brings those same principles to coaching, player development, and parenting — emphasizing preparation, mindset, and respect for the game.

Alex draws from his time at Perfect Price and now Skyp.ai to expose the hidden “footwork” behind successful GTM strategies and why most SaaS founders underprice out of insecurity. The conversation is loaded with tactical advice—from navigating platform creep to testing pricing thresholds—and peppered with war stories from the front lines of both venture-backed and bootstrapped journeys.Whether you're scaling an AI startup or building quietly with customer revenue, this episode challenges conventional wisdom and lays out what durable, customer-obsessed growth looks like in 2026.TakeawaysMany founders mistake a short burst of sales or demand for true product-market fit, leading to premature scaling and churn.Financial acquirers focus on cash flows; strategic acquirers pay for fit. Most founders don't deeply understand either.Venture capital often creates misaligned incentives. Founders lose control over exits and may be pushed to chase unsustainable valuations.Bootstrapping forces discipline: every dollar must generate near-term return, every decision must align with customer need.Raising too early or too much reduces urgency, increases burn, and often leads to wasteful bets and bloated teams.SaaS buyers increasingly value smaller vendors who prioritize service over scale.Advice is context-dependent: founders must be careful not to blindly copy tactics that worked in a different market or macro.AI tools enable hands-on execution and eliminate layers of communication, especially for lean teams.Founders often “hide their footwork”—the unseen details that actually drive GTM success.Customer proximity and rapid iteration beat slide decks and assumptions every time.Chapters00:00 Growth at All Costs Is Dead01:07 What Acquirers Really Care About02:35 The Mirage of Product-Market Fit05:10 Amazon vs. Realistic Unit Economics06:44 When Losing Money Is Okay—And When It's Not08:01 The Advice Trap: When Playbooks Expire10:01 The SurveyMonkey Blueprint (And Its Limits)13:06 How Bootstrapping Forces Better Decision-Making17:34 Owning the Downside: Founders vs. VCs20:13 Building a $5M Business Without Needing a Billion-Dollar Exit22:30 Platform Creep and Product Dilution27:53 Customer Success Is the Real Differentiator29:49 Jiu-Jitsu and GTM Footwork36:39 How AI Changes How Work Gets Done44:43 Prototyping, Building, and Speed with AI Tools46:41 Pricing Insecurity and Willingness to Pay51:01 You Are Not Your Customer: Pricing Psychology53:48 Cheap Gym Memberships, Expensive LessonsAlex Shartsis's Social Media Link:https://www.linkedin.com/in/shartsis/Resources and Links:⁠⁠https://www.hireclout.com⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.podcast.hireclout.com⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright⁠

What happens when a milestone birthday sparks restlessness instead of celebration—and becomes a turning point for deeper purpose? In episode 246 of Joy Found Here, Allison McCune Davis joins Stephanie to rethink aging, midlife, and what comes next. A mother of five and natural health educator, Allison shares how turning 60 pushed her to stop coasting, ask bigger questions, and create a clear plan for living fully—body, mind, and soul.In This Episode, You Will Learn:(04:18) The moment turning 60 stopped feeling comfortable(05:05) Why decade birthdays demand honest reflection(06:30) Letting go of “mom mode” and redefining self(08:31) How age labels distort women's health narratives(11:11) Raising five kids through birth, adoption, and choice(14:34) A first wake-up call into natural healing(16:26) Saying yes to a challenge that changed everything(19:06) How mindset and community shape what's possible(21:52) The three-pillar framework for a strong second half(28:50) Building momentum through a 60-day resetAllison McCune Davis is an author, certified naturopath, and natural health educator with over a decade of experience supporting women in building healthier, more intentional lives.

Allison is the author of Sixty Is a Good Start, a practical guide for women navigating midlife with clarity, vitality, and purpose, and she leads programs that help women turn insight into sustainable daily action.In this episode, Allison shares how turning 60 became a catalyst for reinvention rather than a moment of decline. She reflects on the identity shifts that follow motherhood, the restlessness many women feel in midlife, and how that discomfort can spark meaningful change. Introducing her three-pillar framework—body work, brain work, and world work—she explains why small, consistent habits shape long-term health, connection, and fulfillment. Her message is clear and empowering: our future is built through the daily routines we choose, and it's never too late to begin creating a life that feels strong, purposeful, and fully alive.Connect with Allison McCune Davis:WebsiteLinkedInInstagramFacebookGet Allison's books!Let's Connect:WebsiteInstagram Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Yadi, an anthropologist and fellow Puerto Rican living in Australia, to talk about what it really means to live far from your motherland and still keep your culture alive. There are less than 1% Latinos in Australia. There are even fewer Puerto Ricans. No restaurants. No food. No community hubs. No shared language in the streets. And yet… here we are. This conversation was inspired by Bad Bunny bringing his global tour to Australia, selling out two massive shows, and reminding us how deeply culture lives in the body, especially when you're far from home. We talk about diaspora, displacement, identity, grief for the motherland, and the responsibility of keeping culture alive for our children when it's not reinforced by the environment around us. This episode is for anyone who has ever: • Left their home country • Missed their people, food, music, or language • Felt invisible in a dominant culture • Had to become the culture carrier • Built family and community from scratch ✨ IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER: • What it's like being Puerto Rican in a country that doesn't know Puerto Rico • The grief and beauty of living in diaspora • Relearning what our grandmothers knew instinctively • Raising children with cultural pride far away from home • Why music, food, and language matter more than we think • Finding each other when “your people” barely exist • Celebrating Puerto Rican identity in a non-latin country

text us if...This month we are thrilled to talk with Dr. Pascale Chery!Pascale Chery is a first-generation Haitian-American who grew up  in New York straddling the two cultures.  Her early years were shaped mostly by the art of music.  She played piano, saxophone, and composed tunes.  She had every intention of becoming a musician however her parents talked her out of it for fear of not being able to support herself.  She then took the decision to become a dentist. Dr. Chery attended and completed undergraduate and graduate studies at Rutgers University and went into residency and practice thereafter.She married shortly after dental school and bore two children.  Unfortunately, the marriage didn't survive and she became a single parent early in my career.  Raising  two children away from family posed many challenges. However, it gave her insight on the trials and tribulations that many children face growing up in school today.  Today she is writing as part of my creative expression to help children build-self confidence and self-love.Listen in for how to win your own copy of Dr. Chery's new book!Follow Dr. Pascale Chery on Instagram @drpascalecheryPurchase Mermaid Affirmations: Coloring Bookplease visit https://www.patreon.com/Sasspod/redeem/1785B to get a free 3 month membership!publishing regular weekly episodes every other week through the holidays until end of January Support the showTake our listener survey The views expressed by our guests may not reflect the views of Sass n Sips.Check out Spreadshop!http://arthemisclothing.ca - Use SASSPOD for 15% off https://www.muzmm.com- Code SASSPOD for 20% offhttps://www.podpage.com/?via=sasspod to create your own webpagehttps://www.buzzsprout.com/?referrer_id=682706 to start your own podhttps://www.lyft.com/i/LISA594490?utm_medium=p2pi_iacc For a LyftGet in touch:(732) 595-2922sass.n.sips@gmail.com / sassnsips.comIG @sassnsipsFB @Sass N SipsYouTube @Sass N SipsPodchaser podchaser.com/sassnsipsClips used in this podcast were used in accordance with the US Copyrights act FAIR USE Exemption for criticism and commentary....

In this solo episode, I talk directly to parents about how to show up for our kids when the world feels heavy and unsettling—without turning the conversation into politics. I share what research tells us about stress, co-regulation, and why our kids absorb our emotional state even when we think we're hiding it. I also offer practical guidance for talking to children at different ages, setting healthier boundaries around the news and doom scrolling, and staying grounded so we can provide safety, connection, and hope while raising compassionate, resilient humans.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

U.S. Border Patrol “commander at large” Gregory Bovino was removed from his position following the killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. The Atlantic’s Nick Miroff joins to unpack Bovino’s demotion and ICE’s larger recruiting push. A man from Cuba recently became the third detainee at a single Texas facility to die in ICE custody. Michael Biesecker of the Associated Press discusses the case. TikTok experienced serious technical difficulties just as its new ownership group took control. The Verge’s Emma Roth breaks down the hurdles it faces.

Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.

Connecting with teenage daughters can feel like trying to break through a locked door—especially when rejection, distance, and silence start to replace the closeness you once had. In this Q&A episode, I'm joined by Uncle Joe as we tackle two deeply relatable questions from dads who are doing their best but feel stuck, unsure, and disconnected.   We dive into what it really takes to win a teenage daughter's heart without forcing connection, why consistency matters more than instant results, and how dads can stop taking rejection personally while still staying emotionally available. We also address marriage and money decisions, showing how curiosity, values, and asking better questions can transform conflict into teamwork. This episode is packed with wisdom, reassurance, and practical strategies for dads who refuse to give up on their kids or their marriage.     Timeline Summary [0:00] Welcoming listeners to the final Q&A episode of January 2026 [2:37] A dad's question about connecting with his 14-year-old daughter [4:10] Why teenage girls often pull away during adolescence [4:33] Recommended reading: Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters [5:12] Learning what matters to your daughter to win her heart [6:35] Why genuine interest builds emotional safety [7:16] Consistency over comfort when facing rejection [8:08] Not internalizing rejection from teenage daughters [8:57] How facial expressions communicate disappointment [9:15] "Aim for the heart" and understanding a child's unique wiring [10:19] Engaging with your daughter's interests without trying to be "cool" [11:21] Alliance member perspective on grit and perseverance [12:37] Why daughters notice effort even when they don't respond [13:03] Dr. Lisa Damour's insights on never giving up [14:08] Why your daughter will remember whether you stayed or quit [15:11] Second question: marriage, money, and trust [16:34] How "telling" shuts down conversations with your wife [17:08] Leading with curiosity instead of control [18:10] Asking questions that invite reflection and teamwork [19:36] Validating your wife's values before problem-solving [21:11] Enabling vs. empowering family members [23:23] Using shared family values as a decision-making framework [26:18] Why aligned values reduce conflict in marriage [29:18] Faith, provision, and living out core values [30:57] Resources for dads raising teenagers [31:16] Where to find all episode links and next steps     Five Key Takeaways Winning a teenage daughter's heart requires consistency, not instant validation.  Rejection isn't personal—it's developmental, and dads must stay steady through it.  Genuine curiosity builds connection far more than control or correction.  Asking better questions reduces marriage conflict, especially around money and family decisions.  Shared values create clarity, alignment, and peace in family decision-making.      Links & Resources Guiding Teenage Girls Into Adulthood (Dad Edge Episode): https://thedadedge.com/guiding-teenage-girls-into-adulthood-with-dr-lisa-damour/ Dr. Lisa Damour Website: https://drlisadamour.com/ Dr. Lisa Damour on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisa.damour/ Dr. Lisa Damour on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSt8mu1taNYAHTufbYwqglFHoevbZgNQl Dr. Lisa Damour on Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/Ldamour Dr. Lisa Damour on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisadamourphd Dr. Lisa Damour Podcast: https://drlisadamour.com/resources/podcast/ How to Manage a Meltdown (PDF): https://drlisadamour.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/LD_Bookmarks_How_to_Manage_a_Meltdown.pdf Meg Meeker on The Dad Edge Podcast: https://thedadedge.com/meg-meeker/ Episode Show Notes & Resources: https://thedadedge.com/1432   Closing Remark If this episode encouraged you to stay the course with your kids or approach your marriage with more curiosity and patience, please rate, review, follow, and share the podcast.

Raising teens in a digital world can feel overwhelming, especially when you didn't grow up with social media yourself. In this episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I'm joined by Antigone Davis, Meta's Vice President and Global Head of Safety, for an important and reassuring conversation about teen safety, social media, and what parents and grandparents need to know in today's digital world.Antigone has spent her career focused on protecting children and young people. With a background in education and law, she now leads global safety efforts at Meta, working with experts, NGOs, and policymakers to create safer online experiences for teens and families.Together, we talk honestly about the challenges parents face raising teens in a world of social media, smartphones, and AI. Antigone breaks down Meta's teen safety tools, including built-in guardrails, parental supervision, time limits, and age-appropriate content, and explains how they are designed to support both connection and wellbeing. We also explore why teens may actually welcome boundaries more than we expect and how parents can start these conversations with confidence.In this episode, we discuss:How teen accounts work on Instagram, Facebook, and MessengerWhat the new 13+ content experience means for parentsHow parental supervision tools help without invading privacyManaging screen time, sleep, and late-night scrollingSocial media's impact on teen mental healthWhat parents should know about AI and online safetyHow to create healthy digital boundaries through communication, not controlResources:For access to more helpful tools and expert guidance, parents can visit https://familycenter.meta.comInstagram Teen Accounts - now guided by PG-13 movie ratings - are designed to give parents peace of mind that their teens are safer with the right protections in place.

#761 What if growing your home service business slower is actually the fastest path to profit and freedom? In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with returning guest Mike Andes, founder of Augusta Lawn Care, to break down how home service businesses can grow without getting crushed by seasonality, overhead, or the “bigger is better” trap. Mike shares his origin story (including starting college at 13!), then dives into his practical “off-season cures” (from winter services to inverse-demand add-ons like holiday lights), how pay-for-performance compensation can drive speed and quality with the right guardrails, and why open-book management + profit sharing can align the whole team like owners. They also unpack Mike's “Copy + Paste” growth philosophy — focusing on profitability and smart capacity limits before scaling locations — plus why many operators would be better off raising prices and reducing ad dependency than endlessly chasing more revenue! What we discuss with Mike: + Solving the off-season + Five “cures” for seasonality + Winter services & subscriptions + Inverse demand add-on services + Pay-for-performance pay model + Quality control & “yellow slips” + Open-book management basics + Profit sharing incentives + Copy-and-paste growth strategy + Raising prices vs. chasing growth Thank you, Mike!

Do you leave social gatherings feeling utterly drained, as if you've absorbed everyone else's stress, sadness, or tension? Do you find yourself constantly over-helping or trying to "fix" others, only to end up exhausted? Or do everyday stimuli like bright lights, loud noises, or scratchy fabrics overwhelm you in ways others simply don't understand? If these resonate, you may be navigating life as a highly sensitive person, an empath, or both. In this episode of The Language of Love Conversations, I sit down with Dr. Judith Orloff, a UCLA-trained psychiatrist, empath, and New York Times bestselling author. Known as the "godmother of the empath movement," she beautifully bridges science, intuition, and energy medicine. Her acclaimed books include The Empath's Survival Guide, The Genius of Empathy, Emotional Freedom, and her new children's book, The Highly Sensitive Rabbit. We explore what it truly means to be an empath (and how it differs from being highly sensitive), why empaths are frequently misdiagnosed with sensory processing disorder, and why this growing wave of sensitive souls is precisely what our world needs right now. Dr. Orloff shares her personal journey growing up in a medical family that dismissed her intuitive gifts and how she learned to honor them instead of suppressing them. This empowering conversation covers practical tools to protect your energy, set heart-centered boundaries, and thrive without closing your heart. We discuss raising empathic children in an overwhelming world, the connection between unacknowledged sensitivity and issues like addiction or autoimmune conditions, and simple daily practices like breathwork, earthing, grounding, visualization, and energetic cord-cutting (when you're truly ready). We dive deep into: The true meaning of being an empath vs. a highly sensitive person Different types of empaths and their unique experiences Why empaths are often misdiagnosed (with anxiety, depression, sensory processing issues, or physical illness) The profound gifts of empathy How emotional and physical energies get absorbed and how to release them Essential boundaries, grounding, and shielding techniques The power (and caution) of energetic cord-cutting Why there are more empaths today than ever before, including links to trauma and the rise of "adult-onset" empaths Raising empathic and highly sensitive children and why they need space to thrive How empathic children may soon lead the world Spotting empathic traits in kids (even though all children have some empathy) Coping with overwhelm through addictions vs. healthier self-care paths Empaths in relationships: avoiding love-bombing, narcissists, and learning to voice your needs Five essential daily practices to stay grounded as an empath If you're feeling drawn to Judith's work, explore her classic The Empath's Survival Guide: Life Strategies for Sensitive People (with its invaluable self-assessment quiz) and her empowering new children's book The Highly Sensitive Rabbit, a tender story to help young sensitive hearts feel seen and strong.
