İnsan mükerremdir ve onun mükerrem olan bütün âzâlarına itina ve saygı gösterilmelidir. Bu, tırnak da olsa, ait olduğu bedenden kirlilik hâlindeyken ayrılmamalıdır. İşte bu incelikten dolayı insan bedeninden kıl, tüy, tırnak parçaları gibi şeyleri cünüpken kesip atmamalıdır. Muayyen ve lohusa hâli devam eden hanımlar için de böyledir. Onlar da bu müddet içinde böyle bir temizlik yapmamalı, bu hâlden çıktıktan ve guslettikten sonra böyle temizliği yapmayı tercih etmeliler. Şayet yaparlarsa elbette bir şey de lazım gelmez. Gusül sahih olur. Kadınlar âdet ve lohusa dönemine girmeden önce beden temizliğini yapmaya özen göstermelidir. Ancak özellikle lohusa döneminin uzun olması nedeniyle beden temizliğine tekrar ihtiyaç olursa bunlar için bir özür olabilir. Muâze anlatıyor: “Bir kadın Hz. Âişe'ye (r.anhâ): “Hayızlı kadın kına yakar mı?” diye sormuştu. “Biz, Rasûlullah'ın (s.a.s.) sağlığında kınalanırdık” diye cevap verdi.” Kadını erkekten ayıran vasıtalardan biri olarak, kadınların kına yakmaları teşvik edilmiştir. Saça, ellerine veya ayaklara olması fark etmez. Hayız hâli kına yakmaya mani değildir. Bu ruhsatı, şimdilerde, oje denen ve tırnak üzerinde suyun değmesine mani tabaka teşkil eden başka süs maddelerinin sürülmesini genelleştirmek câiz olmaz. Sürülmüş olsa bile, abdest anında temizlenmesi gerekir. (İbnu Deybe, XVI, 585) (Nurgül Dere, Müslüman Hanımın El Kitabı, s. 290-293)

Nekompromisný obranca počas svojej bohatej kariéry prešiel desiatkami klubov, jeho životný príbeh je však ešte pestrejší. Lukáš Kozák je nielen skúseným hokejistom s blížiacou sa métou 700 zápasov v extralige, ale aj mládežníckym majstrom Slovenska v džude a úspešným podnikateľom. Teraz prijal pozvanie do podcastu suSPEAK na ŠPORT.sk, kde moderátorom Rasťovi Konečnému a Marekovi Marušiakovi úprimne porozprával o realite domáceho hokeja či budovaní biznisu na Jadrane.Málokto o rodákovi z Martina vie, že kým sa definitívne zasvätil najrýchlejšej kolektívnej hre na svete, patril medzi obrovské talenty na tatami. Džudu sa venoval do 15 rokov a z tohto obdobia si odniesol nielen majstrovské tituly, ale predovšetkým výbornú obratnosť a flexibilitu, z ktorých fyzicky čerpal počas celej hokejovej kariéry. V uvoľnenej debate priznáva, že na ľad ho pôvodne vôbec neťahalo a prvé tréningy absolvoval len vďaka susedovi, no napokon mu vôňa kabíny prirástla k srdcu.Diskusia sa prirodzene preklopila aj k náročným témam a fungovaniu profesionálneho hokeja na Slovensku. Skúsený obranca, ktorý pôsobil v Slovane Bratislava, Skalici, Prešove či naposledy v Liptovskom Mikuláši, kriticky zhodnotil najmä prístup vedenia a trénerov k mladým hráčom, pričom poukázal na absurdné vyhrážky v šatniach a chýbajúci elementárny rešpekt.„Vždy sa pri problémoch vrátime iba k financiám, ale to najmenej, čo by sa mohlo ihneď zlepšiť a nestojí to vôbec nič, sú medziľudské vzťahy v kluboch,“ zamýšľa sa nad toxickým prostredím, ktoré často dehonestuje začínajúcich hokejistov.Keďže v minulosti tvoril pár so známou influencerkou Nelou Slovákovou, nevyhol sa ani enormnému tlaku bulvárnych médií, ktoré pravidelne rozoberali jeho súkromie. Túto životnú kapitolu dnes vníma ako cennú, no veľmi nepríjemnú lekciu. Otvorene opisuje, že neustále vysvetľovanie skreslených titulkov ho naučilo prísne si chrániť svoj osobný život, pričom sociálne siete už vníma vyslovene len ako nutný pracovný nástroj, od ktorého si rád drží zdravý odstup.Dôležitý presah mimo športu ponúka jeho podnikateľský príbeh z chorvátskej Rogoznice, kde vybudoval a spravuje úspešný komplex apartmánov. K nehnuteľnostiam prišiel počas pandemickej krízy a vďaka skúsenostiam z rodinnej stavebnej firmy sa sám pustil do rozsiahlej rekonštrukcie bezprostredne po vypadnutí z play-off. „Urobili sme to od piky, že tam pomaly ostali stáť len oporné múry, no pri prácach som sa toho neskutočne veľa naučil,“ približuje moderátorom zrod svojho letného biznisu, ktorý dnes funguje už celoročne.Hoci má hokejovú kariéru stále aktívne rozbehnutú, život po jej definitívnom ukončení si vie predstaviť práve na slnečnom pobreží Jadranu, ktoré vníma ako mimoriadne bezpečné a ideálne miesto pre výchovu detí. Divákom detailne opisuje aj to, ako do apartmánového biznisu reálne zasiahlo prijatie eura či nové dane, no zároveň vyvracia mýty o extrémnej drahote, pokiaľ človek pozná lokálne pomery a vyhne sa najexponovanejším turistickým pasciam.Najnovšia epizóda podcastu suSPEAK na ŠPORT.sk prináša mimoriadne pútavý, humorný a inšpiratívny pohľad do sveta športu, o ktorom ste možno doteraz vedeli len málo.

You have read the books. You've done the retreats. You have overhauled your diet, your sleep, your morning routine. And you still feel the gap. Not broken, not lazy. Just caught in a loop that the next fix never quite closes. We want to talk about why.This episode is about the biology of being stuck. Not the shame of it. The actual mechanism. We get into what is really happening inside a nervous system that has been running on chronic stress, why the search for the next solution is neurologically wired into that state, and what it actually takes to interrupt the cycle for good. We cover the 90-second chemistry of emotion, Hebb's Law, the reticular activating system, Viktor Frankl's stimulus-response space, and the neuroscience of mental rehearsal. This one is about giving you a real explanation for what has felt personal, and a real path forward.What You'll Learn:Why your body can become physiologically addicted to stress hormones, and how that keeps you unconsciously generating the exact conditions you are trying to escapeThe 90-second rule: what Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor's neuroanatomy research reveals about how long an emotion actually lasts in the body, and what everything after that meansWhy insight alone cannot change your nervous system, and what your nervous system actually responds toHow Hebb's Law works in your favor: every time you practice a new emotional state, you are building real, measurable neural architectureWhat the reticular activating system (RAS) is doing with your beliefs, and how shifting that filter changes what you are available to see and act onViktor Frankl's "space between stimulus and response," and why every external fix misses it entirelyWhat mental rehearsal actually is neurologically, and how elite athletes have used it for decades to become familiar with a state before they are living itThe identity question that changes everything: who do I need to decide I am for this to become true?Your Next StepsFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eversiowellness/Shop Eversio Wellness and save 15% with code PODCAST15: https://www.eversiowellness.com/discount/PODCAST15?redirect=%2Fcollections%2Fall-productsTake our wellness QUIZ to find the right mushroom for you: https://www.eversiowellness.com/pages/take-our-quiz

Why You’re Suddenly Noticing Small Signs the Universe Has Your Back Tiny miracles are the small, easy-to-miss moments of grace that show up in an ordinary day. This might include a stranger’s kindness, a found coin, a text that arrives at exactly the right moment. Noticing them changes how supported life feels, even though nothing about your circumstances has actually changed. I didn’t go looking for this. It started with a compliment from a stranger, then a quarter on the ground, then a phone call I’d been hoping for. None of it was earth-shattering on its own. But the moments kept stacking up, one after another, until I couldn’t ignore the pattern anymore. Which made me wonder if these tiny miracles been happening all along, and was I too busy or too in my head to catch them? What Counts as a Tiny Miracle? A tiny miracle is any small moment of unexpected kindness, timing, or connection that feels like more than coincidence. It doesn’t need to be dramatic. Here’s what showed up for me in just a few weeks once I started paying attention: A stranger’s kindness at the grocery store. The produce person complimented my black-and-brown dress, then struck up a whole conversation about her love of neutral colors. Kindness with shopping carts. At one store, a man wheeling his cart toward the entrance handed it to me and went back for another. Days later at Trader Joe’s, a woman did the same thing at the front door. Then, when I finished unloading the cart into my car, an employee took the cart away without a word. I was taken care of from door to door! Found money. I found a quarter in the parking lot when visiting the chiropractor. Finding change always feels a little magical to me. A message from a flower. I was in the garden and felt the nudge to photograph a vine with small purple flowers and yellow stamens. I asked if it had a message for me and heard that it was looking forward to serving the bees. Then bam, a bee landed on the flower right after, so I caught that shot too. An invitation. I’d been wondering when he’d invite my husband and me on our annual boat ride. He called two days later with the invitation. My husband cleaned up the deck. Getting ready for dinner out one evening, I came downstairs to find the outdoor cushions already brought in and the table umbrella closed.  This is something I usually have to ask for. It’s not that he doesn’t take initiative. It’s just never been about the deck. I didn’t win the lottery. No angels showed up. Nothing huge happened. And yet every single one of these tiny miracles made me smile. Why Did These Small Moments Affect Me So Much? Small moments like these affect us because most of us move through the day too fast to allow them to register. We’re checking off errands, replaying conversations, or worrying about what’s next. In the process we miss the majority of the good things happening all around us. Take a minute to ask yourself honestly. Did someone smile at you today? Did someone let you merge in traffic, or did you grab the last package of pre-sliced turkey at the deli counter? Chances are a few of these already happened and slid right past you. It’s not that the Universe decided to start sending me tiny miracles out of nowhere. I think I simply became more present. Once I noticed that first few fortuitous moments, something in me reset to start catching the next one, and the one after that. Is It Magic, Or Is It Your Brain? The reason you start noticing tiny miracles once you look for them is a real neurological function called the reticular activating system, or RAS. This is a network in the brainstem that filters what reaches your conscious awareness based on telling your brain what matters. Humans want to be right, so we set that internal radar to collect evidence for whatever we already believe. Whatever you’re thinking about, you tend to see more of it. It’s the same reason you buy a red car and suddenly notice red cars everywhere. Some call this the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, which is the sense that once you learn something new, it starts showing up constantly. It’s also known as the frequency illusion. What’s actually happening is selective attention. Your brain flags the new thing as important and starts seeing it more frequently. This is also called a cognitive bias. There aren’t more red cars, you just notice them more often. So it seems I’ve set my RAS for tiny miracles, and honestly, it’s been a lot of fun. Am I more supported by the Universe than I was before? Probably not. But I am noticing that I’m supported, and that is creating even more openness. That’s my new bias, and I’m sticking with it. What would shift for you if you felt supported by the Universe and started collecting evidence that it was true? We’re Always Collecting Evidence You always training your brain to notice whatever you expect, whether that expectation serves you or not. Some people wake up already braced for disappointment. They feel people let them down, life is hard, nobody appreciates them, and nothing works out. And their brain will faithfully collect evidence for exactly that, all day long. But you can train your RAS to find positive evidence just as easily. Someone holds the door. A favorite song comes on and you catch yourself singing along. A cashier is unexpectedly friendly. A friend texts at exactly the right moment. String enough of these together and they add up to something real. You shift into a more open, more supported way of moving through your days. My Experiment, and What Changed I didn’t set out to prove anything with this. I never expected the Universe to hand me this many signs in a few short weeks. But by the third or fourth one, I stopped being surprised and started paying attention on purpose. That’s exactly how the RAS is supposed to work. Once I actively looked for tiny miracles, I found more of them. One day last week I realized I’d woken up happy and stayed that way straight through until bedtime. That was new for me. I’m usually quick to spot whatever’s annoying me. Something is shifting. If you’re over 50, you’re likely to notice this kind of thing more than a younger person would, simply because you’ve spent decades reading rooms, situations, and people. Your brain has stopped needing raw data to make sense of a moment and started leaning on pattern, context, and vibe instead. What can feel like sudden intuition can be your brain matching this moment against thousands of moments you’ve already lived. That’s what I mean when I talk about midlife magic . It only comes with the miles, and with those miles comes a deeper appreciation for the little stuff that goes right. What If the Magic Doesn’t Show Up? If you go looking for tiny miracles and nothing shifts, that’s not a sign you’re doing something wrong. More often, it’s a sign something is in the way. Many of us carry a protective heart wall, built from grief, disappointment, or old self-protection. Unfortunately, that can unconsciously block what tiny miracles need to get through, without you ever knowing it’s there. That’s exactly what I’m addressing at a live Heart Wall Releasing event on July 29th, from 10–11:30am ET. It’s a gentle, remarkably effective meditation process. And it’s safe because your own inner wisdom guides the entire experience. The investment is just $22, and I’m keeping the group small — limited to 10 women, with a few spots already claimed. If you’ve been wondering whether a heart wall might be dimming your magic or getting in the way of something you desire, I’d love to guide you through it. Register now to grab your spot. FAQ: Tiny Miracles – How to Start Noticing Yours What is a tiny miracle? A tiny miracle is a small, everyday moment of kindness, timing, or connection — a stranger’s compliment, a found coin, a call that arrives right on cue — that feels like more than chance and leaves you a little lighter. Why am I suddenly noticing more good things happening to me? Once your brain flags something as meaningful, your reticular activating system (RAS) starts surfacing more of it in your awareness. You’re not attracting more good moments; you’re finally catching the ones that were already there. What is the reticular activating system (RAS)? The RAS is a network in the brainstem that filters incoming information and decides what reaches your conscious attention, based largely on what you’ve told it matters. What is the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon? Also called the frequency illusion, it’s the experience of suddenly noticing something everywhere right after you first become aware of it — like seeing red cars everywhere after buying one. What is a heart wall, and how does it relate to noticing magic? A heart wall is a protective barrier around the heart, often built from grief, disappointment, or self-protection, that can block the openness needed to notice tiny miracles or invite in what you desire. Key Takeaways – Where IS the Magic in All This? Tiny miracles aren’t new; they’re likely happening around you already, and most get missed in the rush of a normal day. Your reticular activating system will collect evidence for whatever you focus on, positive or negative, so choosing what to look for actually matters. Noticing one tiny miracle tends to open the door to noticing the next one. If the magic isn’t showing up for you lately, that’s not a personal failing. It may point to a heart wall quietly getting in the way.

Rock Thomas is a serial entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and personal development teacher whose 7.5-minute story about his father has been viewed by over 125 million people and credited with changing thousands of lives. The youngest of seven kids raised on a farm by a cold, duty-bound father, he channeled that pain into decades of overachievement before spending over $2 million on his own healing and building a body of work on breaking generational trauma. This episode gets into what happens when a boy grows up chasing a father's approval that never comes, and how that wound quietly shapes marriage, friendship, and the way you show up as a dad. If you are a father wrestling with your own childhood, questioning whether you're doing a good job, or trying to break a cycle you inherited, this conversation will hit home.   Timeline Summary [1:02] – Larry shares how a coach showed him Rock's video at the Dad Edge Summit and it moved him to tears [2:14] – Rock explains how his 7.5-minute story with Goal Cast reached 125 million people and stopped people from taking their lives [3:00] – The origin of the wound: a young boy craving a distant German father's approval [4:20] – Broken arm, "suck it up," and the trauma that drove decades of overworking [5:16] – Why Rock reframes the David Goggins "stay hard" model as pain in disguise [6:08] – The empty, hollow heart behind the boats, cars, and houses [7:07] – Rock's mission to be the one who breaks the generational cycle [7:28] – The football day: waking up excited, and the moment his spirit broke [9:53] – Larry describes his own absent father and running into him in a coffee shop at 30 [12:06] – Larry's vow to play with his kids 300 days a year after watching Rock's video [18:22] – How the father wound showed up in Rock's friendships and marriages through self-sabotage [23:00] – The hockey parking lot: leaving before the other kids to please his father [24:14] – Why Rock spent over $2 million on therapy, mentors, and personal development [28:52] – The real win isn't the home run, it's a dad in the stands saying "that's my boy" [30:25] – Larry shows a video of his 17-year-old son and the dad he's becoming [33:12] – Rock on the ego, the amygdala, and the voice of doubt keeping men stuck [35:07] – The "I used to... but now" method for rewiring your identity one small shift at a time [42:26] – Why big hairy goals backfire and how tiny wins harness dopamine and the RAS   5 Key Takeaways Kids Want Connection, Not Trophies — Overachievement can look like success while masking an empty heart. What children actually crave is to be seen, felt, and heard, not provided for from a distance. The Wound Shapes Every Relationship — An unhealed father wound quietly leaks into marriage and friendship through self-sabotage and distrust. Naming the pattern is the first step to stopping it. Break the Cycle On Purpose — You can be the one person in your family line who chooses differently. Doing the work now means your kids inherit the healing instead of the wound. Change Your Identity One "I Used To" At a Time — When a negative thought surfaces, catch it and say "I used to... but now" followed by a tiny new action. Small wins trigger dopamine and reprogram your subconscious over time. Small Goals Beat Big Hairy Goals — Massive goals trip your survival brain into fear of failure. Micro-commitments slip past that alarm and let your reticular activating system pull you toward the person you want to be.   Links & Resources Podcast Shownotes — https://thedadedge.com/1502 The Dad Edge Alliance — https://thedadedge.com/join The Dad Edge Business Boardroom Brotherhood — https://thedadedge.com/goals   Enjoyed This Episode?

Darling, Im worried!! This week we are re-visting the very messy 'Don't Worry Darling' cast feud that had the internet ablaze with speculations, gossip and some truly unhinged theories.

Au Liban, la guerre ne se joue pas seulement sur terre. Elle se poursuit aussi en mer. À Tyr, l'un des principaux ports de pêche du pays, les bateaux restent amarrés. À la frontière, le port de Naqoura a été détruit. Ailleurs, des pêcheurs ont été arrêtés ou pris pour cible, et les zones de pêche sont désormais drastiquement réduites. Selon la FAO, le secteur de la pêche et de l'aquaculture a déjà perdu 6,3 millions de dollars depuis le début de la guerre.  De notre envoyée spéciale à Tyr, Amélie David Au Liban, le port de pêche de Tyr est calme en cette fin juin. Une majorité des pêcheurs sont à quai, réparant leurs filets et leurs bateaux, comme Maroun Khoury et son père. Pour eux, le cessez-le-feu n'a rien changé : « Honnêtement, la situation est un peu difficile pour les pêcheurs. Avant, il y avait des zones plus au sud où ils pouvaient aller pêcher. Maintenant… il y a seulement deux jours, par exemple, un bateau s'est rendu là-bas. Il est allé assez loin, mais ils ont été interrogés et contraints de s'arrêter. Désormais, nous sommes limités à des zones de pêche situées à proximité. » Chez les Khoury, on est pêcheur de père en fils. Mais Maroun, 19 ans, n'a jamais connu une mer aussi inaccessible. « Si vous divisez tout entre nous : chaque personne sur le bateau gagne autour de 10 dollars par jour. 10 dollars après avoir payé le diesel. La mer ne vous rend pas riche. Vous gagnez juste assez pour manger. » Sur le port, les bateaux sont plus nombreux que les hommes en mer. Autour d'un café, ceux qui ne sortent plus attendent des jours meilleurs. Seule une quarantaine d'entre eux continuent aujourd'hui à prendre la mer. Selon le vice-président du syndicat des pêcheurs du sud, Sami Rezze : « Maintenant, nous ne sommes pas autorisés à pêcher entre Ras al-Ain et Rashidieh (au sud de Tyr, près de la frontière avec Israël. Et les pêcheurs ne peuvent toujours pas pêcher 24 heures sur 24. Il y a des heures spéciales pendant lesquelles nous avons le droit de sortir. La zone de pêche s'étend sur environ trois kilomètres au sud de Tyr. » Aux restrictions imposées, semblables à celles en place pendant l'occupation par Israël du sud du Liban dans les années 1980, s'ajoutent les menaces et la peur : « Si un pêcheur dépasse la limite autorisée, les patrouilleurs israéliens ouvrent le feu sur lui. Les drones le repèrent immédiatement. Que sommes-nous censés faire ? Avant-hier encore, des patrouilleurs israéliens ont poursuivi un bateau de pêche jusqu'à Tyr, tout en tirant dans sa direction. Les drones sont présents tous les jours. Ils ne laissent jamais les pêcheurs tranquilles. Les petits drones de surveillance tournent constamment au-dessus de leurs têtes, suivant chacun de leurs mouvements. » Dans le café du port, les pêcheurs font passer le temps en jouant aux cartes. Pour Radwan, pêcheur depuis plus de 20 ans, la guerre n'est pas la seule menace. Surpêche, pêche à la dynamite, réchauffement de la Méditerranée... Les poissons se raréfient, déplore-t-il, et les causes sont nombreuses. Dans le port de Tyr, les filets continuent d'être réparés chaque matin. Mais tant que la guerre imposera ses frontières en mer, c'est surtout l'attente que les pêcheurs ramèneront dans leurs filets.

Kope futbalovou loptou do golfových jamiek, na svetových šampionátoch necháva za sebou absolútnu elitu a cez týždeň zapisuje známky do EduPage. Lucia Čermáková je unikátnym zjavom slovenského športu. Dvojnásobná majsterka sveta vo footgolfe prijala pozvanie do podcastu suSPEAK na ŠPORT.sk, kde moderátorom Rasťovi Konečnému a Marekovi Marušiakovi porozprávala nielen o svojej ceste na svetový trón, ale aj o úsmevných paradoxoch, ktoré tento dynamicky sa rozvíjajúci šport prináša.Obhájiť najcennejší kov je v športe vždy ťažšie ako ho získať prvýkrát. Lucii Čermákovej sa to však podarilo v mimoriadne extrémnych podmienkach na šampionáte v Mexiku, kde hráči bojovali s horúčavami okolo 40 stupňov a takmer stopercentnou vlhkosťou vzduchu. O fyzickej náročnosti svedčí aj fakt, že počas dvanástich dní turnaja nachodila neuveriteľných 300-tisíc krokov.V rozhovore otvorene opisuje, ako vyzerá psychická a fyzická príprava na šport, ktorý je v prvom rade hrou v hlave. „Mám šťastie, že si viem zachovať chladnú hlavu počas celej hry. Aj keď sa mi niečo nepodarí, poviem si: ‚dobre, máš ďalšiu jamku na to, aby si to napravila',” prezrádza v podcaste recept na úspech, ktorý z nej spravil nočnú moru pre súperky z celého sveta.Poslucháčov určite zaujme detailný pohľad na footgolfové vybavenie a prísnu golfovú etiketu. Hráči musia dodržiavať dress code s golierikmi a miesto kopačiek obúvajú len turfy.Najväčším pokladom každej hviezdy je však správna lopta. Lucia Čermáková prezrádza, že jej tajnou zbraňou sú legendárne lopty Jabulani z majstrovstiev sveta vo futbale v roku 2010, ktoré majú špecifickú váhu a letovú trajektóriu, no dnes sú na trhu doslova podpultovým tovarom s obrovskou hodnotou.O to kontrastnejšie pôsobí finančná realita tohto športu. Keď sa moderátori pýtali na odmenu za svetový titul z Orlanda, odpoveď ich šokovala. „Bola to finančná odmena 700 eur, ktorú sme dostali ako kredit na ďalšie štartovné,” hovorí s úsmevom sympatická slovenská reprezentantka, čím dokazuje, že footgolf sa na Slovensku hrá predovšetkým z čistej lásky k športu.V bežnom živote je Lucia Čermáková obľúbenou učiteľkou telesnej výchovy a informatiky na základnej škole, kde medzi žiakmi po zisku medailí požíva status doslovnej športovej bohyne. V podcaste sa dozviete, ako dopadol jej experiment, keď si na jeden deň vyskúšala rolu riaditeľky školy a zistila, čo všetko zahŕňa riadenie pedagogického zboru.Keďže v štúdiu sedela oproti hokejistom, došlo aj na prekvapivé športové priznanie z jej detstva, kedy sama hrávala hokej s chlapcami. Dnes si síce zápasy pozrie, no najviac ju priťahuje tvrdá hra. „Mám rada hokej, ale najviac mám rada, keď sa bijú. Keď sa rozkrikujú a čakajú len na to, tak hneď pozerám,” smeje sa Lucia Čermáková v uvoľnenej debate.Najnovšia epizóda podcastu suSPEAK na ŠPORT.sk prináša mimoriadne pútavý, vtipný a inšpiratívny pohľad do sveta športu, o ktorom ste možno doteraz vedeli len málo, no po vypočutí tohto rozhovoru dostanete okamžitú chuť vybehnúť na „grín”. Pustite si celú epizódu a spoznajte osobnosť, ktorá robí Slovensku to najlepšie meno na svetovej mape.

Au Venezuela, plus d'une semaine après le double séisme, un homme a été retiré vivant des décombres ce jeudi (2 juillet 2026). Un véritable miracle, alors qu'il y a de moins en moins d'espoir de signes de vie après ce drame qui a fait plus de 2 500 morts et des dizaines de milliers de disparus dans le nord du pays. À ce bilan, il faut ajouter les déplacés qui ont tout perdu. Certains se sont réfugiés dans un stade de La Guaira où se sont rendus nos envoyés spéciaux, Mélissa Barra et Jad El Khoury. L'une des priorités des organisations humanitaires est d'apporter un soutien psychologique aux enfants. La colère gronde toujours au sein de la population, explique, pour sa part, Alice Campaignolle, correspondante de RFI à Caracas. Beaucoup considèrent le gouvernement responsable du retard des secours et de la gestion chaotique de la crise. Dans la zone la plus touchée, « les altercations entre survivants et forces de l'ordre se multiplient, les habitants trouvent que les fonctionnaires de police ou les militaires n'en font pas assez, qu'ils devraient être comme eux, sur les décombres, à chercher des survivants ou bien maintenant à extraire les corps », raconte la journaliste. Une colère qui se double d'une grande méfiance envers Delcy Rodriguez, héritière de Nicolas Maduro. Avant ce drame, beaucoup de Vénézuéliens réclamaient des élections libres. Les habitants veulent changer de gouvernement, notamment à cause de la corruption qui ronge tous les services de l'État. Aujourd'hui, une bonne partie de la population refuse de remettre des dons « à des fonctionnaires de peur qu'ils ne soient pas volés. Les gens n'acceptent pas non plus que la police les empêche de circuler sur la zone sinistrée, convaincus que c'est pour cacher quelque chose. Des mesures qui sont parfois importantes pour la sécurité, se retrouvent questionnées, à cause de cette cassure entre le peuple vénézuélien et ses dirigeants et les forces de l'ordre », analyse Alice Campaignolle.   En Colombie, une transition houleuse La Colombie connaît actuellement une période politique tendue. Le nouveau président d'extrême droite, le millionnaire Abelardo de la Espriella élu le 21 juin 2026 ne prendra ses fonctions que le 7 août. D'ici là, son équipe et l'exécutif sortant sont engagés dans un processus de transition compliquée. Les deux camps multiplient les attaques et les déclarations tonitruantes, nous explique Marine de La Moissonnière du service international de RFI.   Haïti : la ville de Marchand-Dessalines sous l'emprise de Kokorat san Ras depuis deux mois Depuis leur installation dans cette ville historique du département de l'Artibonite, les membres du gang Kokorat san Ras imposent leur loi.

In this episode of Roompact's RA*EdChat, we go behind the scenes of residence life to explore how strong staff relationships shape the RA experience. “Behind the Scenes: Working With Your Team” dives into collaboration, communication, and peer support, highlighting how successful communities are built not just through resident connections but through trust and teamwork among staff members. We meet with Katelyn Neeley, a community director who shares knowledge and personal experience on the topic, as well as advice for RAs. 

Based on the provided transcript of the IPS DEPROGRAM from June 26, 2026, here is a breakdown of the session:The central theme of the session is the "Metascript," a framework for understanding how global events are manufactured, "history-bent," and coordinated through entertainment and news media to condition public consciousness. The speaker specifically uses the movie Citizen Vigilante and the alleged "squibbing" (faked death) of Charlie Kirk as case studies to demonstrate how predictive and concurrent programming are used to hijack the human brain's natural filtering systems."Citizen Vigilante" as Targeted Agitprop: The film is described as a "woke right Batman" story designed as an influence operation to fuel anti-immigrant sentiment and "White Lives Matter" martyrdom, perfectly timed with real-world "PsyOps" like the Henry Novak case.The Frequency Illusion (Red Car Theory): The speaker explains how predictive programming utilizes the Reticular Activating System (RAS) to prime the audience; once a concept is "top of mind," the brain filters for it, making future staged events seem obvious or inevitable.The Charlie Kirk "Simulation": The session asserts that Charlie Kirk's death was a drill involving crisis actors and "planted lines" (such as conflicting reports of heart vs. neck wounds) to create a martyr narrative that the political left would "froth at the mouth" over.Compartmentalization of Secrets: Addressing the "too many people to keep a secret" argument, the speaker posits that hoaxes like the moon landing or simulated mass shootings only require a few hundred "in the know" operatives, with the rest of the participants managed through compartmentalized security clearances.Media Triangulation and the Duopoly: Mainstream and alternative media are presented as a "pro-anti" duopoly that prevents true disbelief; by fighting over the details of an event, both sides inadvertently validate the event's reality.Engineered Mythos and One-World Religion: Using Steven Spielberg's work as an example, the speaker argues that the government is engineering a new religious paradigm (e.g., alien-angel synthesis) to condition humanity for a unified, AI-controlled global system."Predictive programming is designed to hijack our subconscious mind in every way... the RAS decides what's important what gets ignored.""The mainstream mediated worldview is in fact resting upon an edifice of lies.""I don't advocate for any belief systems here. We're talking about fomenting a culture of disbelievers—informed non-believers in the face of compulsive belief.""This is an influence operation that is coordinated in its release and the timing.""The triangulation... which is the fight over each event or each person, is the engagement that makes them real."In this IPS DEPROGRAM session, the speaker argues that the contemporary news cycle is a "house of cards" built on decades of simulated events and "history bending". By analyzing the film Citizen Vigilante, the speaker illustrates how predictive programming sensitizes specific demographics to respond to future "PsyOps". The session concludes by introducing the IPS Institute for Metascript Deconstruction, which aims to train "certified auto-hoaxers" to reject the "world stage" entirely and adopt an "off-world stage" perspective, treating both mainstream and conspiracy narratives as manufactured subplots of a singular control mechanism.Main Topic: The Metascript and Influence OperationsKey Points5 Key QuotesSummary

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we're diving into a series of transformative events reshaping the landscape of this dynamic industry. Replimune has made headlines with the resubmission of its oncolytic virus-based immunotherapy, RP1, to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for treating advanced melanoma. The FDA's acceptance after two prior rejections is significant, suggesting a shifting regulatory landscape that could favor innovative cancer therapies like oncolytic viruses. These therapies represent a novel approach to engage the immune system in targeting tumors, and if RP1 gains approval, it may open doors for similar treatments, potentially offering new hope for melanoma patients. On the regulatory side, Amgen has encountered challenges with Tavneos after losing European Union endorsement due to data integrity issues. This serves as a stark reminder of the critical importance of maintaining stringent data management throughout drug development. With an FDA hearing on the horizon, the implications are far-reaching, emphasizing increased scrutiny from regulatory bodies worldwide. This scenario could lead to more rigorous guidelines governing data practices in the future. The European Commission's approval of Henlius' Hetronifly as a first-line treatment for squamous non-small cell lung cancer marks a milestone in cancer immunotherapy. This approval highlights the ongoing efforts to improve patient outcomes through innovative PD-1 inhibitor-based combination therapies, showcasing progress in the fight against one of the most challenging forms of cancer. Epicrispr Biotechnologies brings promising news from its phase 1/2 trial of EPI-321, a gene therapy for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy. The trial's success in enhancing muscle function through epigenetic silencing underscores significant advancements in gene therapy applications for neurological disorders. Similarly, Abbisko Therapeutics' phase 2 trial reports a 90% objective response rate using FGFR2/3 and PD-L1 inhibitors for gastric cancer, demonstrating the potential of targeted small molecule therapies in oncology. In financial developments, Definium Therapeutics and Ligachem Biosciences have made substantial funding strides to bolster their drug development pipelines. Definium's $805 million raise aims to advance psychiatric and neurological treatments, while Ligachem's funding will enhance its antibody-drug conjugate platforms. These investments reflect strong investor confidence in next-generation therapeutic platforms and underscore innovative financing strategies crucial for sustaining research and development efforts. Bayer's recent legal victory at the Supreme Court overturning a $1.25 million verdict related to its Roundup product is another focal point. This ruling not only positively impacts Bayer's financial standing but also highlights the complexities surrounding product liability cases within pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Strategically, Moderna has unveiled an ambitious R&D roadmap aiming for break-even by 2028 with over seven new products on the horizon. By focusing on mRNA vaccines for oncology and rare diseases, Moderna continues to leverage its technology beyond COVID-19 applications, potentially transforming treatment paradigms across various therapeutic areas. Shifting focus to industry trends, Sanofi finds itself under investigation by the European Commission for antitrust violations linked to its flu vaccine marketing practices. This situation underscores growing scrutiny over competitive practices within the pharmaceutical sector and could influence regulatory compliance strategies across global markets. In technological advancements, Eli Lilly is employing artificial intelligence to raise awareness about Alzheimer's disease through creative engagements like a European radio show road trip. These initiatives reflect an industry-wide shift towards technology-driven marketing strategies aimed at personalizing patient interactions. Lastly, Merck KGaA's $11 billion acquisition of Bio-Techne exemplifies a strategic move to enhance capabilities in immune cell therapy production. This deal underscores the growing importance of manufacturing innovations in bringing advanced therapies to market and highlights strategic collaborations increasingly seen across the sector. The landscape is further defined by significant scientific breakthroughs such as Revolution Medicines' development of a second RAS blocker, showing improved chemotherapy responses in pancreatic cancer patients. These advancements underscore the need for continued investment in targeted therapeutics research as they promise better patient outcomes and highlight ongoing innovation within oncology. As these developments unfold, they reflect an industry poised for transformation amid evolving scientific, regulatory, and market dynamics aimed at improving patient care globally. With these insights into current trends and future directions, it's clear that the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors are navigating a period rich with potential for groundbreaking advancements that will shape healthcare outcomes worldwide.Support the show

When Robert Mayer started his career in pancreatic cancer research in the 1960s, the treatment landscape of pancreatic cancer was dismal.“We had no tools, say like CT scans, to even identify or diagnose these tumors at an early time,” said Mayer. “Colonoscopy was a big deal. Making a diagnosis of a pancreatic cancer often was restricted to the presence of metastatic disease because there was no scan, no blood test that showed that there was something awry in the pancreas. It was in the back of the abdomen and that didn't change for quite some time.“The aura developed that [pancreatic cancer] was something that just you couldn't deal with.”Mayer is now the faculty vice president for Academic Affairs at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and faculty associate dean for Admissions at Harvard Medical School, and is watching this aura is begin to change:Daraxonrasib, a pan-RAS(on) inhibitor, was shown to double overall survival in the recent RASolute-302 trial phase III clinical trial. The results were presented at the annual American Society of Clinical Oncology annual meeting on May 31. “As with other conditions that we treat, when patients [with pancreatic cancer] come, we'll be able to give them options, plans, steps,” Mayer said. “It may not necessarily be that we can cure, but we can prolong survival, enhance quality of life, reduce time that they have to come to receive toxic systemic parenteral intravenous therapy. All things that really matter so that they can go and be at high school, college graduations, family celebrations, and do all the things that they otherwise would like to do. That has never been something that happened with pancreas cancer.”But the road to developing this drug was laden with bumps, jumps, and potholes. Mayer highlighted some of the most notable mileposts on that long journey in this episode of The Cancer History Project Podcast.

Big change can feel disorienting even when you know it's the right move — and there's actual neuroscience behind why. In this episode of It's Your Time, host Michelle Bourque breaks down neural transfer, the brain science explaining why the skills you built in one chapter of your life (career, relationships, leadership) are already wired to carry you into the next one. Michelle shares what she's learned firsthand while relocating from New York to Florida after two decades in medical device sales, plus a powerful reframe from a mentor on why "I don't have management experience" is almost never actually true. You'll learn about far transfer, the brain's negativity bias, and the reticular activating system (RAS) — and why noticing synchronicities might be more science than woo. If you're in any kind of transition — career change, identity shift, new chapter — this episode will help you see the evidence you already have that you're ready.

Have you ever used the "Ostrich Approach" to a difficult relationship, hid from a hard conversation, and ended up winning 50 different imaginary arguments inside your own head?Welcome back to The Catholic Coaching Podcast! In Episode 301, Matt and Erin are diving deeper into our conflict resolution series. Last week, we introduced the PACE framework (Pause, Assume Goodwill, Clarify, Engage). But the big question is: What actually happens inside that very first step—the Pause? Sometimes we abuse the pause to stew in resentment, or we skip it entirely and react out of unregulated emotion. To fix this, we are introducing a powerful new tool in this episode: The FACE Framework.When anger shows up, it's easy to give it a bad rap. But drawing from St. Thomas Aquinas and Catechism #1767, we unpack how anger is actually a morally neutral, complex passion made of two hidden components: Sorrow and Hope.To process your anger cleanly before reason kicks in, you have to FACE it:F – Find the Sorrow: What is the good thing you love that you perceive is being threatened or harmed?A – Assess the Story: Is your narrative a court-of-law fact, or are you editorializing?C – Challenge the Narrative: What fruits are you getting from this story, and how could the opposite be true?E – Examine the Hope: What do you want your anger to actually accomplish? (Restoring justice vs. seeking punishment).We walk through a highly relatable "Odd Couple" college roommate scenario featuring Brian (a highly ordered Melancholic) and Andy (a carefree Sanguine) to show RAs, ministry leaders, and coaches exactly how to accompany someone through a heated moment without falling into "story fondling."Whether you're dealing with a difficult coworker, a spouse, or navigating campus ministry, learning to purify your anger will completely transform your relationships.Send us Fan MailSupport the show____________________► Make sure to SUBSCRIBE to the Metanoia Catholic YouTube Channel!► Discover How God Is Speaking to You In Prayer► Find out your temperament: Take the Free Quiz► Get the Conversation Starter Guide (FREE) ► Take the Quiz: WHAT TYPE OF COACH ARE YOU?► GET THE DAILY SEVEN JOURNAL!This interactive journal will help you transform your life from the inside out by teaching you how to grow in gratitude, set healthy goals, and gain mastery over your thoughts.► JOIN THE ACADEMY!Your online resource of classes, tools, and community to ramp up your growth and really change your life.

Why do high-performing men lose their identity in midlife? After 35 years on the front lines of emergency medicine and over 170,000 patients treated, Dr. Kenneth Ro stepped back and named something he was seeing repeatedly. The men coming through his ER weren't just breaking down physically. They were losing their identity, their edge, and their sense of purpose. In this conversation, Larry Olsen sits down with Dr. Ro to talk about what happens when a man's identity gets fused to his profession, and what to do about it before it costs him his health, his relationships, or his career. What you'll hear: • The Triple Caretaker Effect and why most men get the order wrong • Why "midlife crisis" is the wrong frame and what Dr. Ro calls a midlife inflection point • The Stephen Covey line that most leaders have heard but very few apply: climbing the ladder against the wrong wall • Dr. Ro on why silence is a bigger health risk factor than blood pressure or cholesterol • What happens when I've attached who I am to what I do? ABOUT DR. KENNETH RO Dr. Kenneth Ro is a double board certified emergency physician with 35+ years on the front lines of emergency medicine and over 170,000 patients treated.

Joining the Project Purple Podcast is Andrew Waters, PhD, Assistant Professor of Medical Surgical Oncology at the University of Cincinnati. Dr. Waters joins host Dino Verrelli to discuss his lab's recent research recovery grant from Project Purple and his journey into pancreatic cancer research. Dr. Waters discusses the critical role of KRAS mutations that are found in about 93-94% of pancreatic cancer cases. KRAS and RAS-targeted therapies have evolved from being considered “undruggable” to becoming one of the most exciting and progressive areas in cancer treatment. Recent clinical breakthroughs include promising results from RevMed's investigational drug Daraxonrasib, which targets multiple KRAS mutations and has demonstrated early trial outcomes. We learn about the challenges that remain in pancreatic cancer research, including complex FDA approvals and access to use. Dr. Waters highlights his lab's research into how pancreatic cancer cells develop resistance to KRAS inhibitors by leveraging related proteins such as HRAS. NRAS and MRAS. Understanding these mechanisms could help researchers develop therapies and improve treatment durability and patient outcomes. Subscribe to the Project Purple Podcast for more stories from the pancreatic cancer community! You can learn more about Waters lab at https://med.uc.edu/depart/cancer-biology/labs/waters-laboratory.

We're dropping this bonus episode because something genuinely historic happened in oncology and we couldn't wait until our regular schedule to talk about it. Dr. Mark Lewis, GI medical oncologist, pancreatic cancer survivor, and one of our absolute favorite guests. He just got back from ASCO, the Super Bowl of oncology, where a new drug called daraxonrasib received one of only about six standing ovations in the conference's history, including applause that broke out mid-sentence when researchers showed the survival data on-screen. The drug targets a mutation that drives the vast majority of pancreatic cancer and has been considered "undruggable" for decades and it works not by attacking the mutation directly, but by cutting off the downstream signals it sends, like snipping the wire instead of fighting with the switch. The results are remarkable. In patients who had already received standard chemotherapy, daraxonrasib roughly doubled survival time and delivered it in pill form rather than an IV every two weeks, a meaningful quality-of-life difference for people who are already facing the hardest year of their lives. Mark walks us through the science, the side effects (rash, because RAS proteins live in skin too), the path to FDA approval, and what this means beyond pancreatic cancer, the same KRAS mutations show up in about 30% of lung cancers and 40% of colon cancers. Takeaways: Pancreatic cancer has been devastatingly hard to treat, 85% of patients are incurable at diagnosis because it spreads silently and there's no good screening, leaving most patients with a median survival of about a year on IV chemotherapy. KRAS, the mutation driving nearly all pancreatic cancer, was long considered "undruggable", the protein was so smooth and spherical that no drug could bind to it, and researchers were actively discouraged from pursuing it as a target. Daraxonrasib works by cutting the power rather than fighting the switch, instead of binding to the KRAS protein itself, it uses molecular glue to interrupt the downstream growth signals the mutation sends, an approach that took decades to develop and wasn't taken seriously until now. The trial results roughly doubled survival and the treatment is a daily pill, not an IV, patients who had already been treated with chemotherapy gained approximately an additional year of life with improved quality of life, which represents one of the most significant advances in pancreatic cancer treatment in decades. This breakthrough has implications far beyond the pancreas, KRAS mutations drive about 30% of lung cancers and 40% of colon cancers too, and proving the target is druggable opens the door to a new generation of treatments across multiple cancer types.

Two Onc Docs, hosted by Samantha A. Armstrong, MD, and Karine Tawagi, MD, is a podcast dedicated to providing current and future oncologists and hematologists with the knowledge they need to ace their boards and deliver quality patient care. Dr Armstrong is a hematologist/oncologist and assistant professor of clinical medicine at Indiana University Health in Indianapolis. Dr Tawagi is a hematologist/oncologist and assistant professor of clinical medicine at the University of Illinois in Chicago.In this episode, OncLive On Air® partnered with Two Onc Docs to provide a comprehensive review of data from the phase 3 RASolute 302 trial (NCT06625320), a landmark study presented at the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting that has established daraxonrasib (RMC-6236) as the new standard of care (SOC) for the second-line treatment of patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma.The discussion began by highlighting the historical context of second-line treatment, where standard chemotherapy options like FOLFOX (leucovorin calcium, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin) or gemcitabine-based regimens typically yielded a median overall survival (OS) of only approximately 6 to 7 months. Although RAS mutations drive approximately 90% of pancreatic cancers, they were historically considered undruggable. Daraxonrasib addresses this challenge with its mechanism of action of an oral, RAS(ON), multi-selective, tri-complex inhibitor that targets the active GTP-bound state of both mutant and wild-type RAS, covering variants at codons G12, G13, and Q61.The RASolute 302 trial was an international, open-label study that randomly assigned patients with progression after 1 prior line of therapy to receive either daaxonrasib or investigator's choice of chemotherapy. In the RAS G12–mutated subpopulation of patients, daraxonrasib generated a higher median OS compared with chemotherapy. Similar benefits were observed with daraxonrasib in the overall population, where the median progression-free survival nearly doubled.Drs Armstrong and Tawagi emphasized that the toxicities associated with daraxonrasib are highly clinically relevant and distinct from the myelosuppression seen with chemotherapy. Key adverse effects (AEs) include dermatologic events, diarrhea, and stomatitis. Management of these AEs is critical; the hosts recommended the use of prophylactic oral antibiotics and topical corticosteroids to manage rash, alongside standard oral care for mucositis. Despite being associated with these AEs, daraxonrasib was better tolerated than chemotherapy, with a low treatment discontinuation rate due to AEs.Daraxonrasib is currently accessible in the US through an Expanded Access Program and is undergoing accelerated review for full FDA approval. The experts noted that the agent is being further investigated in the frontline setting through the phase 3 RASolute 303 trial (NCT07491445) and in the adjuvant setting via the phase 3 RASolute-304 trial (NCT07252232), potentially expanding the agent's effect across the continuum of pancreatic cancer care.

In this episode Betsy recounts her trip to Florida and the signs that she experienced while traveling. She explains the ‘put it down’ practice and how it can best serve us in our lives as well as how our brains notice things based on our focuses. This one is a good one if you need a reminder to take stock and choose you. Transcript:  Welcome to The Art of Living Big, where we explore how to live intentionally and with more joy. I’m Betsy Pake, your host, master, coach, and creator of the Navigate Method. Here to help you listen in to your true desires, elevate your standards, and live life to the fullest. Now, let’s go live big. Hi, everybody. Welcome to the show today. I recorded this yesterday, and it was amazing. You missed a really good show. My microphone wasn’t on, and I, if you are new here, I do these podcasts. I come up with an idea, and then I just talk. So the kinda cool thing is this will be a totally different show than yesterday, although the same topic. I s- I’m sticking to the same theme ’cause I do have a story that I wanna tell you, and it may be a story that you heard if you’re on my mail list. But I wanna dive in a little bit deeper, and I wanna give you some tools, as we go through this. I wanna talk a little bit about my, my trip to Florida and something very cool that happened, and I, I’m gonna call it magic. I believe that there’s magic that happens all around us, and I believe you have magic that happens all around you, too. So I’m gonna tell you how to find it and how to use it So I’m gonna tell you how to find it and how to use it so that you can actually make your life easier and, you know, maybe a little bit more fun too. So if you’ve been here for a while, you may know that my whole dang life I’ve wanted to move to the beach, and just a few months ago I got the idea that actually there was nothing stopping me and I could do that. And so this, th- I guess it was last weekend, two weekends ago. Memorial Day was this past weekend. The weekend before, I decided I was gonna go down to Florida and I was gonna look around. You know, if you listen to the episode about how I make big decisions, I really was leaning into California, and in fact, had a trip planned for California for this week that ended up getting rerouted. But I had decided that I was also gonna check out Florida for a lot of different reasons. You know, I grew up on the East Coast. Um, my dad is on the East Coast. He, he … And I’m h- I, I was about to say he’s elderly. I guess he is. He’s 85. I guess, I guess that is elderly. It just feels weird to call him that, but he is. He’s not sick or anything. He’s b- he’s a busy dude. But you know, it just feels good to be here. My son lives here in Atlanta, and so I, I would love to be a, a drive away or a 90-minute flight instead of, like, a whole day of travel, you know? So there’s a lot of things, besides the taxes and all of those things. I don’t have a runway like a 30-year-old. I have a runway like a 55-year-old that’s been divorced a couple times, you know what I mean? So we gotta be using our brains here. So I was like, “I’m gonna just go down to Florida and I’m gonna look around.” Tampa checks a lot of boxes because there’s the big airport, it’s a city, it’s by the beach, and, like, that St. Petersburg area. I’m like, “Okay. Well, this could be a place where I could see myself.” And so I thought, “I’m gonna go down there. I’m gonna rent a car and just drive all over.” And as it ended up, somebody reached out from Instagram, and she lives there, and she was like, “I’ll show you around.” And I had, like, the best w- I had the best weekend with her. So it was like I made a really good friend while I was down there. But here’s what happened. I decided I was gonna go down Thursday night. So I was gonna be here for my coaching that I do. We have the Navigate group on Thursdays, and I n- I never miss it. Like, it is a strange, strange moment if I miss it. Um, maybe once a year I will miss. Like, I, I mean, I, this is, like, my favorite thing ever, so I never wanna not be there. So I, although I have coaches that are amazing, and they would be amazing, but I’m just like, “I wanna, I, I wanna be there.” So I’m like, “I’ll do the coaching, and then- pack up my stuff, and head to the airport. I’ll take a flight that night. I’ll land in Tampa. I’ll just get a hotel right near the airport. That’ll be easy-peasy, and then in the morning when it’s light out, I’ll begin my adventure, you know? The next day, Friday morning, was my birthday. It was my 55th birthday. And here’s the thing. I thought to myself, “You know, I wanna be by the ocean on my birthday. That sounds really fun. And, you know, why not have a little adventure?” So that Thursday morning when I was prepping for the Navigate group, I thought, “I need to go bring my cat to the kitty hotel,” right? Like, get Dean Martin situated. Then I can do my thing and head out. And when I was walking around the house, I was, you know, picking up stuff and playing with the cat and doing whatever I needed to do, and I was talking to my mother. Now, if you’re new here, my mother transitioned back when I was in high school, when I was 16. She died when I was … Transition is such a… She croaked. When I was 16 she died in a car accident, and so I’ve never… You know, I haven’t gotten a birthday present from her since I was 16. And I said out loud, “You know, I talk to you a lot, and I trust that you’re here.” But I don’t know. You know, I was kinda like in one of those, like, prove it kind of moods. So I was like, “I don’t know. I don’t know if you’re really here, but if you are, I would like a birthday present. Haven’t had a birthday present from you in a long time, and I would love a birthday present, and I would love if it was something really obvious.” Do you guys do that, too, where you’re like, “Make it a sign,” and then the sign comes, and then you’re like, “Make it a signier sign. I need it to be super signed.” So I was like, “I want a birthday present. I want it to be really obvious.” And I said out loud, “I want it to be really obvious, not like an Amazon gift card or something,” which is kind of a weird thing to say, ’cause I would happily accept an Amazon gift card. But I, you know, said it out loud, and I actually felt it when I said that. Like, it felt funny when I said it, and then I continued. I was busy, busy. I was a busy girl all day. And anyway, I get to the airport. I get settled into the Sky Club because I have a Delta corporate card. I’m about to tell you all of the things that I require to travel, but I’m also too cheap to pay for them, so I have like a million workarounds. So first of all, I got my flight for free using points. I buy a coach seat, but I am Platinum, so I always get upgraded. Why am I Platinum? It’s not because I travel all the time, but it’s because I use my Delta corporate card for everything, for all my business stuff, right? So we end up putting a lot through that, and it gets me to Platinum status, okay? The cool thing about Platinum is you get to choose, like, your present, you know what I mean? Like, you get to choose the thing that you get. And so I have chosen, and I think you have to choose for the year, and I have chosen that I would get upgraded. So I always buy a coach seat, and typically I’ll get upgraded at least to Comfort Plus. I’m a short woman, so it’s not like I need a ton of leg room, but I like … I, I, I feel like my thing is I like- space. Like I don’t like to be herded places, and I don’t wanna feel crowded or rushed. Like that really stresses me out. So I get to the airport, I go to the Sky Club, which I have access to because I have the corporate card, not ’cause I, I’m too cheap to pay for that. But I have a corporate card, and go to the Sky Club, I hang out. It’s time to board the plane, and I look and I’m still not upgraded. And I’m like, “This is really weird.” I mean, it’s a short flight, so like I can hang in coach, but I’m in the middle. And I’m always on the end. Like I, I, I know it’s only 90 minutes, but I always have to pee. Like I’m like, I g- I need to be on the end. I don’t wanna be like in the middle. Ugh. But I’m in the back of the plane. I’m like in seat 29 in the middle seat. But it’s 90 minutes. I’m like, “It’s fine.” I get on the plane. There I am, like, you know, with my shoulders in, I’m as small as I can be so that the people on either side are taking up so much room. And I’m thinking to myself like, “You know what? I hate this.” Like I just do. And it’s okay. I’ll survive, right? Like it’s, if this is the worst of my issues this weekend. But I hate it. And so then the s- airline, um, not the pilot, the flight attendant says, “You know, we’ve oversold this flight.” It was already like delayed. You know? It was like 10 minutes delayed or something. Like it was a busy and it was late, you know. And I could tell they’re tired, and they’re like, “We’ve oversold this flight, and we need somebody to get off the plane and get on a flight two hours later if somebody’s interested in doing that.” Can you ring your bell? You know? So I ring my bell. ‘Cause immediately I’m like, “I don’t even wanna be on this flight. Like, I, I would pay you to go to the next flight.” And they’re giving a $600 voucher, so I’m like, I mean, I travel enough, I have enough things planned, so I’m like, “Yeah, heck yeah, I’ll do that.” Ring my little bell, the flight attendant comes over. She says to me, like, “Do you have luggage?” I’m like, “It’s on the plane.” She’s like, “It’ll be there waiting for you.” I’m like, “That’s great. I trust, I trust.” So I get off the plane, and the people at the f- at the gate, like the f- attendants at the gate are like, “Oh, did you… Thank you for, you know, shifting and going to the later flight.” I mean, it boards in, like, an hour, so I’m like, I’ll just go back to the Sky Club, get a drink, and by the time it’s, I’m done my drink, it’ll be time to board. And nobody’s waiting for me. I’m just… I just got a hotel at the, at the airport. Do you know what I mean? So I’m like, this is no… Like, how nice for somebody else that they could get off the plane, and I am gonna get a $600 voucher. So she says, “Thank you.” I’m like, “Yep, no problem.” And then she’s like, “It won’t print.” And she keeps trying to print, print the voucher, print the voucher, and then she says to the woman next to her, “Do you know why this isn’t printing?” And she’s like, “Well, press this, you know, press that. Try it again. Can you refresh? Maybe if we…” Like, they’re, they’re, they’re going through it, you know? And like I said, it’s late. I can tell these people have had a day. Like, she’s just like, “I can’t get this to print.” So she calls, and she says, like, “It’s printing, but it’s not printing the voucher.” And she’s like, “Will you email it?” So then she looks at me, and she’s like, “Can you check your email?” I’m checking my email. I’m checking my junk. There’s nothing. She’s like, “Try to email it again. It’s not coming through.” She doesn’t have anything. They try it again. And finally she shoves a piece of paper in my hand, and was like, “Here, take this.” So I took the paper and went on my way. I got myself a drink, I sat down, and I looked down, and what did I have but a voucher for a $600 Amazon gift card. Now- Here’s the thing. Here’s the thing. What is actually happening? What’s actually happening? Now, you could hear this story and be like, “Well, that was a coincidence.” Like random, like really good timing, funny timing. Or I could tell you that there’s magic, magic all around us, and it is just what we choose to believe. Everything is what we choose to believe. And both of those things are true. It could be a coincidence, could be random. It is funny timing, and it does feel magical, and that is what I would like to believe. But here’s what else is true, is that there is part of our brain that you’ve heard of called the reticular activating system, the RAS, and its job is to filter, okay? So your brain is taking in like several million pieces of information every second. And when I say your brain, I mean, like, your nervous system. So, like, you’re seeing things and hearing things and feeling things and smelling things. Like, all this stuff is coming in all at once. And you can only consciously pr- like, process 126 of those pieces of information, so that means there’s a lot of information that’s just getting lost. It stays in the back of your mind. It stays in your brain. You just aren’t consciously aware of it. So there’s like a little mailman in there that is filtering stuff. It’s taking in all the mail and looking at it and throwing you the pieces that it thinks are important. It decides what gets through to your conscious awareness and what gets tossed out as, like, background noise. So the RAS filters for what you’re focused on. I remember when I bought my car. I have a little white SUV. It’s not rare. But I bought that car and I thought, “I’ve never seen this car before. Like, this is so unique and special,” I thought. I bought it, and now sometimes I go to the grocery store and I’ll come out and there’s like four of them in a row. Like, they’re everywhere. Everybody has them. I just wasn’t looking for them before. My RAS wasn’t set to notice those. So when I asked my mom for a sign, and I said, “Make it obvious,” and when I joked about an Amazon gift card, I set my RAS to look for it. And so when it showed up, I felt something. I noticed. Someone else might have glanced at the voucher and thought, “Oh, .” Y- you know, whatever. . But I was looking for magic, and so I saw it. I felt it as proof So here’s what I’ve been thinking about since that trip. When we are sitting in the middle of hard things, you know, a hard decision. I, I was going down there to look for a place that I was gonna move to live, and I’ll give you the update on that. It’s… There’s… I, I still have questions. But when we’re in the middle of this big, hard decision, it can feel really crushing to carry it all by ourselves. You know, I was feeling that, the weight of it, the fear that I’m gonna choose wrong or miss something, the exhaustion of trying to figure out every single piece of this all on our own. And, you know, I talk a lot when I talk online, and I talk about the Navigate method, and I talk about how important it is for women to make decisions for themselves, and I believe that. I believe nobody else should make the decision for you, ’cause this is how we learn to trust ourselves. But what if we didn’t have to totally do it all on our own? What if we could hand something over, like, like, like, one little thing, and let ourselves be guided? You know, let ourselves be cared for. I, uh, this weekend or that weekend, it was last weekend it was such a lesson in allowing myself to be cared for. You know, did, did my mother give me the $600 Amazon gift card? I think so, but I think she also gave me the friend that took care of me, that took care of everything. If you follow along on Instagram, you know I got food poisoning. She took care of me. She mothered me. And I needed that so bad. And so what if we could let ourselves be guided, let ourselves be cared for, let the universe meet us part way? I’m not saying let somebody else make the decision for you, but I’m saying the decision can be easier when you’re not white-knuckling your way through it all by yourself. So here’s where I think the brain part of this gets really interesting. You know, when we grip, you know, when we’re in control mode, when we’re trying to force an outcome or manage every single variable, our nervous system is really in protection mode. And then what does my RAS do, is it starts filtering for threats, right? It starts looking for like, “Oh my God, she thinks something’s gonna go wrong. What could go wrong? What do I need to control? What am I missing? What am I not seeing? Show her the fear. Show her the unsteadiness.” Right? And when your brain is doing that, you literally can’t see the help that’s available. You can’t notice the signs. You can’t receive any new ideas or, you know, the other options and, you know, doors that you wanna be open seem closed, because your brain isn’t scanning for that stuff. Your brain is scanning for danger. It’s scanning for what could go wrong. It’s scanning for all the times you’re walking on eggshells or afraid you’re gonna make a wrong decision. But when you physically let go, when you open your hands, when you open your hands and you ask for help out loud, something shifts. I do think there’s something magical about speaking it out loud. I think when I was talking to my mom and I was doing it out loud, I could… There was something. Have you ever had that feeling where you’re like, “I feel something moving in me,” you know? And our nervous system reads that as safety, right? It stops filtering for threat- And it starts filtering for possibility when I’m speaking out loud, when I’m calm, when my hands are open. You start noticing things you couldn’t notice before, not ’cause they weren’t there, but just ’cause your brain wasn’t looking for them. Okay, so there’s another piece to this. Your brain is also a, a pattern-matching machine. Like, it’s constantly scanning for patterns. It’s constantly trying to prot- te- uh, I wanna say protect, but no, predict. I w- it’s constantly trying to predict what’s going to happen based on what’s happened before. And when you’re stuck in hard decisions, when you’re stuck in looping on the same thoughts over and over again, you’re reinforcing those same neural pathways. You’re telling your brain basically, “This is the pattern. This is what we do here.” And your brain just keeps running that pattern over and over and over again. This is how come, like, y- y- you know, your partner may stomp around the house, and you go, “Oh, my God. I know what’s gonna happen ’cause I know what happened before,” right? I, I can feel it. I know something’s gonna go sideways. And so you start walking on eggshells. You start being… You’re hypervigilant. You’re listening for w- whatever sound, rustle in the grass you need to be aware of so that you can protect yourself, right? But when you let go, when you put something down, you know, it, your brain can, can shift to something new. It’s not like you’re doing something wrong by listening to those patterns, it’s just that your brain is doing what it’s designed to do, and it’s conserving energy, right? So it’s running a program that it already knows. But when you put it down, then you create space, and in that space, you can form all new patterns. You know, new thoughts can come to you, new ideas can come through, new possibilities can show up that weren’t available when you were gripping really hard. And this is why people say things like, um, like, “I stopped trying so hard, and then it just happened. Like, I don’t know, it just happened. As soon as I let go of needing it to work out, like, it just became obvious.” And it’s not magic. Well, it’s a little magic, but it’s neuroscience. You created space, and your brain had room to find a new pattern. Okay, so here’s how we’re gonna put this into practice. I’m gonna give you something you can try this week. I call it the put it down, put it down practice, and it is designed to shift you from really gripping to having your hands open and receiving. So it’s, it moves you from that, like, control mode to open mole- mode, and then y- you, you kinda stop… You stop scanning for threat, and then you start essentially scanning for what’s available. So here’s how it works. Step one is you’re gonna name what you’re holding. So say it out loud if you can, like the decision, the outcome, the how. So I’m holding the question of whether to stay or go. I’m holding the fear that I’m gonna choose wrong. I’m holding the need to figure out how this is all gonna work before I take my first step. So just name it, whatever it is. I’m holding the overwhelm of trying to find where to live. So step two is you physically put your hands out. There is a, a, a loop between your body and your brain, and I’m gonna use my body to send alerts to my brain. I know it sounds kinda simple, but your, your body and your brain are connected. So when you open your hands, you’re signaling to your nervous system that you’re receiving. You’re not grasping, you’re available, right? Not defending anything. It’s, it’s how your nervous system reads safety, okay? So you’re gonna physically put your hands out, palms up. And then step three is you’re gonna ask out loud, “What’s the one thing I can hand over right now?” Not, “What should I do?” Or not, like, “How do I fix this?” But, “What is one thing I can hand over?” And you’re gonna ask it to the universe, or to God, or, uh, to your dead mom. Like whatever it is, whatever it is that works for you. And ask it to the part of you that already knows. It doesn’t matter who you’re asking, really. It just matters that you’re asking. And then step four is that you’re just gonna wait. Don’t answer it yourself. Don’t, like, fill that silence with your own voice. Just wait and let the answer come to you. This is such a skill to learn to just, like, wait until you feel something. So then the fifth step, I guess we’d be on step five, right? Notice what shows up in the next 24 hours, 48 hours. It might be a thought you didn’t have before, a conversation that feels different than it would have a couple days ago. You know, maybe an opportunity that opens up, you weren’t even looking for one. Maybe it’s a $600 Amazon gift card when you specifically said not that. The point is, you’re not looking for something, like, specific. You’re not looking for a specific answer. You’re looking for movement. You’re looking for the thing that you couldn’t see when you were holding on so tight, you know? I did ask my dad, I said, “What are you sending me?” ‘Cause my mom gave me a $600 gift card. “What are you gonna get me?” It was probably a joint gift, I think. So this is what happens when you’re sitting in the middle of a, a big decision. You know, trying to move to the beach, trying to make a decision about your marriage, and you’re trying to logic your way through it all alone. You keep pushing. You keep thinking. You keep trying to see around corners and, you know, predict outcomes, manage things that you can’t actually control, and then your brain keeps running the same loop, right? It keeps asking the same questions and having the same fears and patterns. So what if, what if you didn’t have to carry all that by yourself? What if you could just hand one thing over and let yourself be supported, let yourself be guided, let yourself receive help instead of white-knuckling your way through it alone? I, I don’t think the decision gets made for us, but the decision gets clearer, I think, when you stop gripping so hard. So pick something this week. Maybe it’s something easy, something that doesn’t have a lot of emotional charge to it, and do the put it down practice. Do- just try it once. See what happens. Name the thing you’re holding, open your hands, ask the question out loud, wait, and then pay attention. Because magic is all around us. It’s, it’s just what we choose to believe, and if your brain is designed to find what you’re looking for, ask it to look for help. Ask it to look for signs. Look for the thing that you couldn’t see when you were in protection mode. And I think when you can do that, that is how you live a big life. If you want help on this journey, we’ve got some spots available on the calendar this week. Um, if you are interested in the Navigate Method, or if you’re not quite there yet, you’re like, “I don’t, I don’t wanna go all in on all that,” I have a process on my website called The Bridge, and it is a truth map that will guide you to the next right thing. And then maybe at that point you’ll be ready to do some of the deeper work inside the Navigate Method. But we are here when you’re ready. Be open to it and allow us to help pick up what you’re carrying. I love you guys so much. I’ll see you next week Thanks for joining me on The Art of Living Big.
