It's the last trading day today of the third quarter of 2026, and if I could use one word to describe it I would say reactive. Reactive to a number of different events across different fronts, but the market has held up quite well on a relative basis. One of the things that really keeps me quite encouraged not just about the short term but especially the longer term, is this focus on growth still this anticipation of greater growth on the horizon.
War has wracked Ukraine for 1,678 days—outlasting both World Wars. In this conversation with Mark Labberton, Fyodor Raichynets—a theologian at Ukrainian Evangelical Theological Seminary, pastor of a church in Bucha, and a military chaplain serving on the front lines in Kyiv—explains what it is like to be under near-constant drone and ballistic attack and how that has affected his faith, memory, and experience of time. War has reshaped the way he loves, forgives, and serves; it has induced a fear even to hope. Together, they discuss trauma as a national condition and the temptation to despair when God seems not to intervene. They also consider the moral wounds soldiers carry from killing, the competing prayers of two mothers inside one congregation, and what it means to see God in the face of the needy—even when the needy include one's enemies. Episode Highlights "'Into your hands I commit my spirit'—and with these words on my lips I go to bed every night ... I go to bed with the thought that I may not wake up in the morning, so I just make sure that my spirit is in his hand." "If I have something to share and there is a person that needs it, well, I would share anyway ... Probably that's what the love for the enemies is all about." "I jokingly put it that I have this 'planophobia' in the recent years, so I'm even afraid to plan my life, but you know that you cannot do it without any planning." "Trauma emerges in a place where you find rescue and where instead of security you find insecurity." "I was just thinking how blessed we are that we don't know the future. And this not knowing what is ahead of us keeps us going, in fact." "We have fear to hope, because whatever we hoped for over these four years, it just gets worse, not better." "Those whom they have killed ... they come to them in their dreams, in their sleep, and they said that they physically sense it. They even sense it that someone is grabbing their hand." "One wife would pray ... that God would protect her son not to be drafted. But in the same group there is a mother who asked to pray that God would protect her son on the front line. So what should we pray for?" "War creates such a basic need ... you need water, you don't need luxury things. ... So when we see the needy people and we minister to them, that is what makes us a people of a pure heart." About Fyodor Raichynets Fyodor Raichynets is a theologian, pastor, and military chaplain in Kyiv, Ukraine. He heads the department of theology at Ukrainian Evangelical Theological Seminary, where he teaches leadership and biblical studies, particularly the Gospel of Matthew, and directs its master's program in transformative leadership. A former student of Miroslav Volf in Osijek, Croatia, he ministered for years across the Balkans. He pastors Bethany Church in Bucha and wrote the chapter on the pure in heart for Beatitudes and Terror: A Ukrainian Theological Response to Russian Aggression.

This episode recorded live at the Becker's 11th Annual Health IT + Digital Health + RCM Conference features Romila Aloysius, Executive Director, Heart, Lung and Vascular Institute, AdventHealth, who discusses using AI and connected data to identify patients earlier, reduce data fatigue, improve care coordination and support proactive clinical decision making.In collaboration with Philips.
Have you ever looked at the life and relationships you have—and the ones you want to have—and wondered what it would take to actually feel the way you want to feel in them?I know that question intimately.When my boys were little, I knew I loved my family—but I was overwhelmed, reactive, impatient, and increasingly cut off from the light, loving version of myself I knew was in there somewhere. I didn't feel like myself anymore, or feel my love that much.What happened next completely changed the way I understood myself, my emotions, and my relationships—and ultimately propelled me into the happiness I now have in my marriage.In this very personal episode, I'm taking you back to that season of my life—and to the discoveries along the way to the present that helped me feel more at home in myself, lighter in my body and heart, more secure in myself, and so much more able to enjoy the people I loved, including my husband.Because even though at first I just wanted to feel better, it ultimately unlocked something much bigger: the foundation and skillset I needed to create and sustain the relationships and life I really wanted.It changed the way I showed up with my partner and kids—and gave me the foundation for true happiness in marriage.And eventually, it became the beginning of the work I now teach highly sensitive women who want to feel more steady, loving, connected, and like the best of themselves in their own lives and relationships.If you've ever wondered what it really takes to create the kind of inner life—and the kind of marriage—you deeply want, this one is for you.SHOW NOTES: Learn more about Foundations of Emotional Well-Being for HSPs, and join the cohort here.

Reactive Dogs & Why Every Labrador Should Use Their Nose | Gareth & LyraGareth's journey into dog training didn't begin with plans for a new career. It began with Bear, his working line German Shepherd, and a determination to understand why his own dog was struggling.As Bear reached adolescence, his behaviour around other dogs and fast-moving things became increasingly difficult to manage. Gareth sought help from trainers, attended classes and tried the advice he was given, but was left wanting to understand more about why Bear was reacting rather than simply being given techniques to manage the behaviour.That search for answers eventually led Gareth to learn more about dog behaviour and establish Forever Home Dog Training, where helping owners of reactive dogs now forms a large part of his work. Then came Lyra.Lyra is Gareth's three-year-old working line Labrador. Relaxed, optimistic, eager to learn and, in Gareth's words, “everyone's friend”, she's also become part of his work as a dog trainer. She helps alongside nervous dogs, demonstrates training exercises and has developed an impressive set of scent detection skills. In this episode, we talk about:
Sometime being Reactive is better than being Proactive!Lets talk about card prices!
Sometimes what feels like honesty is actually reactivity. There's a kind of honesty I want to talk about that's harder to reach, but it's the kind that actually builds connection instead of shutting it down. In this episode I talk about the difference between reactive honesty, the "you always do this" kind, and this deeper, more vulnerable honesty. I walk through a simple shift in how you speak to your partner during conflict that changes everything.
Send us Fan MailWhen we talk about police reform, most people immediately think about body cameras, use-of-force policies, civilian review boards, or new laws. Those are important conversations. But today I want to start somewhere different.I want to start with what I believe is one of the biggest problems facing modern policing.We've become exceptionally good at responding to crime.We've become much less capable of preventing it.Think about that for just a second. When someone calls 911 because their house has been burglarized, what has already happened?They've already become a victim.If someone is robbed in a parking lot...If someone is assaulted walking home...If a business owner arrives in the morning to find the front door smashed in...By the time the police get there, the crime has already occurred.Now don't misunderstand me. Responding professionally and investigating thoroughly is incredibly important. Today's police departments have tools that officers from thirty years ago could only dream about.We have Flock camera systems that can track suspect vehicles across an entire region. We have drones that can search large areas in minutes instead of hours. We have incredible forensic technology. We have Cell phone analysis. DNA evidence. Digital evidence. And, security cameras everywhere.Experienced detectives who know exactly how to put all those pieces together.Those technologies have made us dramatically better at solving crimes. And that's something worth celebrating. But solving yesterday's crime doesn't protect today's victim.If my family has already been robbed, catching the suspect next week is certainly better than never catching them at all. Justice matters. Accountability matters. But if we're honest with ourselves, the thing that family really wanted wasn't a better detective investigation. They wanted to never be robbed in the first place.That's the difference between reactive policing and proactive policing.Reactive policing waits for the phone to ring.It waits for the alarm. It waits for the crash. It waits for the shooting. It waits until someone needs help. Then we respond.That's what we do today, and because of the professionalism of officers across this country, we often do it very well.But proactive policing asks a completely different question.How do we stop that phone call from ever happening? How do we identify crime before it occurs? How do we recognize patterns? How do we intervene early enough that someone never becomes a victim?That's a completely different mindset. And I would argue it's the mindset policing was always meant to have.The safest neighborhood isn't the one where detectives solve every homicide. The safest neighborhood is the one where there aren't any homicides to investigate. The best burglary investigation is the burglary that never happens. The best robbery report is the one that never has to be written.Every officer listening to this knows exactly what I'm talking about.Some of the best police work you'll ever do never results in an arrest.It's checking on a suspicious car before it becomes a burglary. It's stopping a stolen vehicle before it reaches another neighborhood. It's talking to teenagers who are headed down the wrong path before they commit their first felony. It's walking through a business district and simply being visible enough that someone decides tonight isn't the night to break into that store.Sometimes the greatest success in policing is invisible.

It is unconscious unfulfillment, ever-present restlessness, that is, until change, or until death. Fanaticism on the other hand is the obsessive belief in "The Answer" (which doesn't exist, btw). It's insecurity disguised as knowledge. But the personality knows it doesn't know and that's why it must prove it to itself and to everyone, because if everyone believes the same as they believe, "Then it will be real!" But it isn't and it will never be.

There is an element so reactive that it was one of the last to be isolated, and chemists were injured or even killed trying to obtain it. Yet once tamed, it became essential to everything from aluminium production and nuclear technology to medicine, batteries, and nonstick coatings. Its compounds have also been at the center of major debates over public health and environmental contamination.

It decomposes relationships, opportunities, connections, and at its core, the body itself. It kills the body gradually. The Reactive Nature: Rigid, is the classic example of control we see everywhere, an inability to allow anything else but the structure—the programs that have been accumulating, originally to secure survival but now are life-force depleting—anti-flow.
Reactive ergonomics: someone gets hurt and their company calls you. It's stressful, it's rushed, and the moment you finish the report, it's over. Prevention ergonomics: the client already values what you do, already has a budget, and wants to keep working with you. These are 2 very different businesses. This episode makes the case for why the second one should be the goal and covers the 5 concrete reasons why prevention and proactive ergonomics services are the most valuable work an ergonomics consultant can build toward. What's covered:Why the marketing rule of 7 is now completely outdated, and what the research says the real number is in 2026 and beyond. The difference between a reactive a reactive client mindset and a prevention mindset, and why it matters for your income Reason 1: no more "we need you yesterday" urgency. Prevention clients work on your schedule Reason 2: Prevention work is not transactional; it builds recurring revenueReason 3: A culture of prevention means a plan, a budget, and a long-term relationshipReason 4: Prevention-oriented employers have a multi-year vision and they want you in itReason 5: Prevention-oriented employers have a multi-year vision and they want you in it And we'll also cover why infographics are one of the easiest and most effective tools to shift clients from reactive to prevention thinking.

"Everyone has a strategy until chaos hits, then people revert to their default training." In this episode of Leadership in Quarters, host Josh Seldin sits down with leadership consultant, executive coach, and US Army infantry veteran Ed Brzychcy to explore how leaders can close the gap between having a plan and executing when everything is on the line. Drawing from 12 years in the US Army, including three combat deployments to Iraq, Ed breaks down why business strategy taught in boardrooms breaks down under pressure, how centralizing command creates operational bottlenecks, and how to build a resilient execution culture that thrives through ambiguity, crisis, and change. In this masterclass on modern leadership execution, you'll discover: ✅ The Intent-to-Execution Gap: Why knowing strategy on paper fails during high-pressure chaos and how to build trained operational reflexes. ✅ Military vs. Business Training: Shifting from an "execute always" mindset to baking deliberate practice and scenario playgrounds into daily operations. ✅ The PACE Planning Framework: Implementing Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency plans to navigate unexpected operational friction. ✅ Eliminating the Bottleneck Trap: How over-centralizing decisions drives executive burnout, limits team autonomy, and slows growth. ✅ Leading vs. Lagging Metrics: How to read early warning indicators before operational breakdowns show up on lagging dashboards. ✅ Diagnosing System Breakdowns: Differentiating between process failures, people challenges, and structural misalignment to fix root causes.

How can Africa use artificial intelligence, satellite data and geospatial technologies to build a more climate-resilient agricultural future? In this episode of AAA Dialogues, in partnership with Leaders On Purpose Podcast, Manal Bernoussi sits down with Dr. Racine Lui, data scientist working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, geospatial intelligence and African agricultural systems. With experience spanning physics, engineering, satellite imagery and mathematical modelling, Dr. Racine Lui explains how data and AI can help African countries move from reactive crisis management to more proactive decision-making. The conversation explores the future of African agriculture, climate resilience, food security and technological sovereignty, including how satellite imagery and machine learning can be used to forecast crop production across Africa. Dr. Racine Lui also addresses some of the critical challenges facing the continent: data ownership and accessibility, AI governance, algorithmic bias, early warning systems, the last mile of technology, and the need to develop African technological capacity. Among the key topics discussed: • How AI and satellite data can predict agricultural production • The role of geospatial intelligence in African agriculture • Climate change, adaptation and resilience • Data sovereignty and ownership in Africa • AI governance and responsible technology • Early warning systems for droughts and other climate shocks • Food security and targeted agricultural policies • Why Africa can build and lead its own AI systems • The importance of mapping and understanding African farmers • The future of technology and decision-making in Africa • Leadership, service and preparing the next generation Dr. Racine Lui also shares his vision for the next decade: a more data-driven, targeted and resilient agricultural system across Africa, where technology supports better decisions and farmers are placed at the centre of policymaking. "We cannot afford being reactive anymore."

For more info visit: https://journ.tv — The repressive nature of this shadow is fear in the shape of control AND unconscious, meaning it doesn't know it's pushing relationship (connection/exchange) away AND playing the victim by blaming the other for feeling excluded. The reactive nature is angry that it's being excluded but it's the same dynamic as the repressive except now it's actively lashing out for the whole thing.
Project management in AEC firms generally doesn't go beyond the technical aspects of the business, such as schedules, budgets, and quality controls that keep a building on track. Marketing rarely gets the same discipline. Even though marketing teams juggle their own budgets, deadlines, and quality standards every week. Listen in as Katie Cash talks with Meredith Schroeder, Director of Operations at Smartegies, about why AEC marketing departments need real project management systems, not just good intentions and a color-coded whiteboard.Marketing workflow visibility comes up early as the clearest sign that a team has outgrown its current systems. Meredith shares the telltale signs of a reactive marketing department: missed deadlines, last-minute requests, and no single place to see the full workload, and explains why a new tool or process document rarely fixes the problem on its own. She and Katie also dig into proposal management, tracing what it takes to coordinate a dozen internal contributors who do not report to marketing while chasing a must-win RFP deadline that never moves.AEC marketing operations round out the conversation with a practical look at staffing versus workflow problems, and how time tracking data can show whether a team truly needs more people or simply needs better prioritization. Meredith closes with her five core project management practices: creating alignment early, building timelines around reality, making it easy for others to contribute, making the work visible, and owning the deliverable, along with her top tip for listeners: start before you start.Key TakeawaysMarketing departments deliver against budgets, schedules, and quality standards just like technical teams, and benefit from the same project management discipline.Reactive, last-minute work is usually a visibility problem, not a staffing problem. Get the full workload in one place before deciding you need to hire.Internal clients respond better to specific, well-resourced requests than to vague asks dropped on short notice.Time tracking by task, not by a single daily bucket, reveals where a marketing team's hours actually go and whether workload is balanced fairly.Meredith's five practices: create alignment early, build timelines around reality, make it easy for others to contribute, make the work visible, and own the deliverable.Connect with Meredith SchroederDirector of Operations, Smartegieshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mer-schroeder/https://smartegies.com/Resources Mentioned in Episode:SmartSkills Session: *you do have to have a subscription or pay to hear this webinar* https://www.bigmarker.com/smartegies/smartskills-work-smarter-not-harderConnect with Katie Cash: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kacash/https://smartegies.com/ Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts:We hope you're finding value in our AEC Marketing For Principals.

What type of arthritis could be causing your joint pain? Not all arthritis looks the same and one of the first things a rheumatologist considers is whether joint pain is mechanical or inflammatory.In this Rheumatology 1-on-1 Live, Dr. Isabelle Amigues walks through several real-world clinical examples to explain how different types of arthritis can present, including:• Osteoarthritis and mechanical joint pain • Reactive arthritis • Psoriatic arthritis • Gout and CPPD (pseudogout) • Ankylosing spondylitis • Rheumatoid arthritis • Arthritis caused by infections • Other less common causes of inflammatory arthritisDr. Amigues also explains why symptoms such as morning stiffness, swelling, pain that improves with exercise, symmetric joint involvement, back pain, and sudden severe flares can give rheumatologists important clues.The goal isn't to diagnose yourself from symptoms but understanding these patterns can help you have a more informed conversation with your healthcare provider and know when seeing a rheumatologist may be helpful.Dr. Amigues also shares exciting news about expanding her rheumatology practice to Boulder, Colorado.
Summary This episode, Marc is chattin' with Ahmad Alokush, a technology risk, AI governance , and cybersecurity oversight expert. Their chat centers on AI governance and why organizations often approach it too narrowly. Ahmad explains that one of the biggest blind spots is treating governance as a one-time compliance exercise instead of a continuous operating discipline. He frames AI governance as an operating system for trust — something that must evolve as AI systems, business use cases, and risks evolve. A major theme is the hidden cost of AI governance. Ahmad notes that many CFOs underestimate the true investment required, because governance includes not just technical maintenance but also data quality work, regulatory compliance, and change management. His point is that governance is not overhead; it is what makes AI's ROI sustainable and defensible over time. The discussion then shifts to the difference between reactive and proactive organizations. Reactive teams tend to address issues only after deployment, often after a problem has already become a crisis. Proactive organizations, by contrast, build risk assessments, bias testing, documentation, and oversight into the process before systems go live. Ahmad emphasizes the importance of visibility into AI usage, including the dangers of “shadow AI” when employees adopt tools outside approved policy. They also chat about accountability and ownership. Ahmad points out that AI initiatives often span IT, data, HR, compliance, and business teams, which can make ownership unclear. In his view, mature governance requires a clear owner, often supported by a chief AI officer, risk committee, or audit committee, along with a living inventory of AI systems that identifies risk levels and update cadence. Finally, the chat moves to global regulation and how organizations can manage conflicting rules across jurisdictions. Ahmad describes the need for jurisdiction-specific risk mapping, compliance by design, and deployment variants that can satisfy stricter disclosure or transparency requirements where needed. He closes by encouraging listeners to stay proactive, continuously improve, and treat AI governance as part of the organization's long-term operating model rather than a box-checking task. Key Points AI governance should be treated as an ongoing discipline, not a one-time project. The real cost of AI governance includes technical maintenance, data quality, compliance, and change management. Reactive AI programs often lead to shadow AI, poor documentation, and post-deployment crises. Clear ownership and a live AI inventory are essential for accountability. Global AI regulation requires jurisdiction-specific strategies, not a one-size-fits-all approach. Key Quotes “[T]he biggest [blind spot] that I see is treating the governance like a one-time compliance project instead of like a living operating discipline. “[Governance] is not paperwork. It's an operating system for trust.” “AI isn't overhead. It's the insurance that keeps ROI real.” “Reactive [thinking about AI] is thinking of it as a compliance task. That's after deployment. ‘We'll fix it after it breaks.'” “You have to have a live AI register with ownership, risk level, and updating the cadence for each model.” About Our Guest Ahmad Alokush is a globally recognized expert in AI, cybersecurity, fintech, and technology litigation, and the founder of Ahmadeus Technology Boutique.

Most people think occupational therapy is what happens after something goes wrong. Tyler Broome is here to tell you that's exactly the framing that's costing patients their independence. In this episode of the Your Health University Podcast, Jamie sits down with Tyler Broome, a Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant at Your Health, to explore what OT actually is, how it fits into a truly integrated care model, and why the therapy team often sees the earliest signs of decline — before anyone else on the care team does. Tyler brings a uniquely grounded perspective, shaped by a baseball career, a grandmother's fall, and years of working inside the homes of real patients. He articulates something most healthcare systems have yet to fully grasp: that medical outcomes and functional outcomes are deeply connected, and that a care team working in silos is a care team leaving gaps. In this episode: Why occupational therapy is defined by daily function — bathing, dressing, meal prep, medication management — not just physical recovery How OT's presence in the home gives the care team "functional health intelligence" no clinic visit can replicate The difference between saying your system is integrated and actually delivering integrated care Two real patient stories where early cross-disciplinary communication prevented a crisis from becoming a catastrophe Why the shift to value-based care makes therapy's role not just important — but essential If you work inside the Your Health system — or if you've ever wondered what the therapy team actually contributes — this conversation will change how you think about the care happening around your patients every day. www.YourHealth.Org
On top of coping with the anxiety of a cancer diagnosis and the physical effects of treatment, patients with cancer face the dual challenge of accessing and affording care. Many patients delay seeking care due to the perceived high cost, and others experience burdensome medical debt as a result of their care. In many cancer programs, financial navigators focus on obtaining financial clearance and assistance for eligible patients. However, this approach can fail to address patient distress stemming from the cost of care, insurance-related delays, and redundant work for cancer program staff. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with 2026 ACCC Innovator Award winner Cathleen Hernandez-Vita, BSN, RN, ONN-CG, Associate Director of MDAnderson Navigation Services at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, about how her team worked to address these challenges. The program developed a novel Pre-Intake Navigation (PIN) program to identify and resolve early financial and insurance barriers, enabling patients to access timely, high-quality cancer care with less anxiety and fewer delays. Hernandez-Vita shares how PIN shifts financial navigation from a late-stage, reactive task to an early, standardized, patient-centered process embedded in the call center workflow. "As organizations embrace new technologies and out-of-the-box solutions, it's important not to lose sight of the human, caring touch. Successful innovation is often about finding the right balance between efficiency and empathy." – Cathleen Hernandez-Vita, BSN, RN, ONN-CG Guest: Cathleen Hernandez-Vita, BSN, RN, ONN-CG Associate Director, askMDAnderson Navigation Services The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Houston, Texas Resources: ACCC 43rd National Oncology Conference 2026 ACCC Innovator MD Anderson Cancer Center Transforming Access to Care Through Pre-Intake Navigation ACCC Financial Advocacy Network Financial Advocacy Network Resources Bridging the Gap: Enhancing Cancer Care Through Financial Navigation
Is Glasgow city centre becoming somewhere people increasingly choose to avoid?A recent BBC Disclosure programme has put the condition of Glasgow city centre firmly back in the spotlight. In this episode, former detectives Tom Wood and Simon McLean examine what is happening on the streets — and whether the problems run much deeper than policing.Tom and Simon discuss the disappearance of the highly visible city-centre policing they remember from their own careers, and the shift towards a more reactive system where officers increasingly arrive after something has happened rather than being there to prevent it.They look at open drug dealing and drug use, antisocial behaviour, dispersal zones, homelessness, rough sleeping, mental-health problems and tensions surrounding asylum seekers and immigration.But the discussion goes beyond crime.Simon asks whether Glasgow is experiencing the effects described by the “Broken Windows” theory — when neglected streets, empty buildings, poor maintenance and declining public spaces begin to reinforce a wider sense that nobody is in control.Tom draws on his own experience working with homelessness and addiction services to explain why seemingly straightforward solutions, such as simply providing accommodation, often fail to address the complex combination of addiction, mental health, physical illness and vulnerability affecting people living on the streets.Ultimately, both former detectives reach the same conclusion: what is happening in Glasgow cannot be regarded simply as a police problem.Police officers are increasingly being expected to manage the consequences of failures elsewhere — in housing, addiction services, mental-health provision, social care and the maintenance of the communities they police.As one senior Glasgow officer puts it:“We cannot arrest our way out of this problem.”In this episode00:00 — Cold open: “There's a time bomb in our city centres”00:56 — Why Glasgow is back in the news02:00 — Is Edinburgh experiencing the same problems?02:52 — The BBC Disclosure programme and what it revealed03:33 — Where have Glasgow's city-centre police officers gone?04:31 — Open drug dealing on the streets05:02 — Reactive policing versus preventing crime07:25 — Drugs, antisocial behaviour and enforcement08:59 — Glasgow's city-centre dispersal zone09:58 — Homelessness and Glasgow's housing emergency11:36 — Mental health and the city-centre “time bomb”12:05 — Simon's disturbing walk through Glasgow during Covid13:40 — Tom's experience working with homelessness services16:42 — Why providing accommodation alone isn't enough17:07 — The Broken Windows theory — is Glasgow demonstrating it?20:15 — What neglected public buildings tell the public22:08 — Are police being left to deal with everyone else's failures?23:03 — “We cannot arrest our way out of this problem”Crime Time Inc. — Real cases.

Thanks to our Partner, AppFueledSEO can easily turn into a game of watching rankings, reporting what happened, and waiting to see what happens next. But what if there was a better way to know exactly when it's time to stop focusing on one keyword and start going after the next opportunity?Brian Walker sits down with Shop Marketing Pros Director of SEO Michelle Travis to break down the new SMP Proactive Keyword Lifecycle System and how it changes SEO from reactive to proactive. They dig into how keywords are discovered, qualified, accelerated, validated, and eventually “graduated” once they reach meaningful and stable positions in search.They also get into why SEO timelines can look completely different for a rural shop versus a shop surrounded by hundreds of competitors in a major metro area, how keyword difficulty affects expectations, and why focusing on 20 keywords doesn't mean your shop will only rank for 20 keywords.And the early numbers behind the system are pretty impressive. During beta testing, 31% of the tracked keywords graduated within the first 30 days, with nearly all of those maintaining their graduation status during the following 30 days.If you want a better understanding of what your shop's SEO company should actually be doing behind the scenes and how a real strategy should keep moving forward instead of sitting in maintenance mode. Listen to the full episode.Show Notes with TimestampsIntroduction to the Episode (00:00:10) Host Brian Walker introduces guest Michelle Travis and the topic: a new SEO system for auto repair shops.The Problem with Old SEO Methods (00:02:22) Michelle explains the challenges of managing too many keywords, leading to a reactive, maintenance-only mode without clear focus.Shifting from Reactive to Proactive SEO (00:05:15) The discussion shifts to how the new system allows for a proactive strategy, using data to decide future actions.The Concept of "Graduating" Keywords (00:07:04) Michelle details the lifecycle stages of a keyword, from discovery and qualification to the final stage of "graduating" it.Defining Keyword Graduation (00:09:30) Graduation is defined as achieving meaningful visibility (top 3-4 positions) consistently, allowing focus to shift to new keywords.Managing the Keyword Backlog (00:11:08) The system uses a backlog to replace graduated keywords, ensuring a continuous, focused effort on a manageable number of terms.Categorizing Keyword Difficulty (00:13:47) Keywords are broken down into high-priority, moderate, and hyperlocal categories, each with different timelines and strategic approaches.Setting Performance Benchmarks (00:17:12) The system allows the agency to set clear performance benchmarks based on market size and shop type to measure success.Initial Beta Test Results (00:20:47) Michelle shares impressive results from a beta test, where 31% of keywords graduated within the first 30 days.The Broader Impact of Focused SEO (00:23:23) Focusing on 20 keywords doesn't limit ranking; it naturally improves visibility for hundreds of related terms through modern SEO.Natural Language Processing in SEO (00:26:26) The hosts discuss how search engines understand context and synonyms, making content more effective without keyword stuffing.System Rollout and Client Benefits (00:27:09) The new system is being rolled out to all clients, providing a clear workbook to set and manage expectations.How To Get In TouchJoin The Auto Repair Marketing Mastermind Group on FacebookMeet The ProsFollow SMP on FacebookFollow SMP on InstagramGet The Ultimate Guide to Auto Repair Shop Marketing BookEmail Us Podcast Questions or Topics Thanks to our Partner, AppFueledAppFueled at appfueled.com. “Are you ready to convert clients to members?

This morning I wanted to flush my kid down the toilet, it was just one of those mornings. It made me realize that while last week we had a great chat about reactive regulation, it was a bit heavy on the theory vs practical application.

When your dog reacts to another dog or a person on leash, it can become very stressful, embarrassing, and exhausting. Many of the people I work with have leash-reactive dogs, and I have extensive experience addressing leash reactivity. It does take a long time to improve leash reactivity. It's not an overnight process. There's no quick fix. If your dog barks, lunges, freezes, growls, or completely loses their mind when they see another dog or a person, that is considered leash reactivity.If you need help housebreaking your new puppy, visit pottytrainingyourpuppy.com for FREE resources.

Most small businesses don't have a marketing problem—they have a stage problem.
If you're listening to this because you're experiencing extreme hunger right now or concerned when you allow yourself to eat more you will just not stop — take a deep breath, sis, and hear this special truth: you're not broken, you're probably not binging, and what you're experiencing is not only normal, it's necessary. This one comes straight from a conversation with a client who was terrified. She's doing all the right things in recovery — eating, honoring the process — but she's hungrier and hungrier and can't seem to get satisfied, and she's scared she's going to "blow up." If that's you, this episode is going to hold your hand through what's actually happening in your beautiful, wise body. (And if you're on the opposite end — no appetite at all after years of suppressing it — stay with me too. This episode still serves your journey forward.) What extreme hunger actually is Extreme hunger is your body's natural, intelligent response to any period of restriction or inadequate nourishment. That's it. It's not a malfunction. It's healing in action. And here's what surprises so many women: it can show up at any stage of recovery. Early on as you add foods back in — or, like my client, years later, when your body finally feels safe enough to ask for what it truly needs. Your body is deeply intelligent. You can't out-trick it. It waits until it trusts you enough to express its real needs. The 4 types of hunger you might feel Mechanical hunger — the physical growling, gnawing, bottomless-pit sensation that you just can't seem to fill. Mental hunger — when your brain is constantly obsessing about food, you can't concentrate on anything else, and you're having intense cravings for specific foods. (Mental hunger counts. It's real hunger.) Reactive hunger — eating large amounts quickly, especially of foods you previously feared or restricted. Primal hunger — that desperate, urgent, impossible-to-ignore need to eat. Like pregnancy hunger: fine one second, and the next, like you'll pass out if you don't eat now. In daily life it can look like: being hungry again right after a meal, waking hungry in the night, needing more snacks than before, or feeling unsatisfied even as you finish eating. What's happening in your body When you've restricted — through dieting, eating disorder behaviors, or simply not eating enough for your needs — your metabolism slows to conserve energy because your body believes it's in a famine. In recovery, it's suddenly doing many jobs at once: speeding your metabolism back up, repairing your organs, bones, hair, and skin, replenishing energy reserves, and — most importantly — learning to trust that food will be consistently available. Research on recovery from starvation (and yes, eating disorders involve starvation, even if you were never classified as underweight) shows people often need significantly more energy than "normal" for an extended time. Your hunger is your body doing exactly what it's designed to do. 4 myths keeping you stuck Myth 1: Everyone experiences extreme hunger in recovery. Not true — bodies and needs differ. If you do experience it, you're not wrong. If you don't, that's okay too. Myth 2: Extreme hunger is wrong or bad. It's your body's wisdom in action. It's the same category of healing as your period returning, or your hair getting shiny, or your glow coming back. Myth 3: Extreme hunger means you're binging. This is the big one. Extreme hunger is a biological necessity driven by your body's needs. Binge eating is often driven by restriction and psychological factors — a different thing entirely. When you're healing, your body genuinely needs large amounts of food. It can feel like a binge because you're so used to eating small amounts. It isn't. It's honoring. Myth 4: If you honor it, you'll blow up and gain a bunch of weight. The truth: your body settles at its natural point once it feels nourished and can trust you. It's the cycle — feed, restrict, over-exercise, restrict — that keeps your body from ever finding that place. Honoring hunger is what builds the trust. How to navigate it — strategies that actually work Honor your hunger. Eat when you're hungry, as much as you're hungry, for whatever you're hungry for. No arbitrary limits on portions, frequency, or "waiting an hour." You're not breaking a rule — you're breaking an eating disorder rule. Challenge her. When the voice says "that's too much" or "you're being greedy," answer: "My body is healing. This is temporary. My body knows what it needs. Honoring my hunger is my job right now." Don't compensate. No over-exercising, no skipping meals the next day, no returning to old patterns. You're not eating too much — you're eating what your body needs. (And if you're not feeling hungry, feed yourself regularly anyway. You can't expect hunger cues to return until your body trusts it has permission to eat. Your job is to grant the permission.) Include all kinds of foods. Your body craves dense, satisfying foods for a reason — nuts, nut butters, carbs, fats, proteins all serve real functions in healing. You can't fill extreme hunger with salads and veggies alone; your body will just keep upping the ante because it knows it's being tricked. Honor it with real satisfaction. Practice self-compassion. Remember your why. Speak to yourself with the gentleness you'd give someone you love. A few lines from the episode "You're not broken, you're probably not binging, and what you're experiencing is normal and necessary." "Extreme hunger is your body's way of healing. Honoring it is one of the bravest things you'll ever do." "Why am I upset that I'm hungry? Am I upset that my body needs air in my lungs?" "Your body is incredibly intelligent. You're not going to out-trick it." "It's not your job to judge. It's your job to honor." "This hunger is my body healing. This is temporary. My body knows what it needs." Your gentle reminder this week If extreme hunger hits, practice one phrase: "This is my body healing, and honoring it is my job right now." Keep easy, satisfying go-to foods within reach. Don't compensate. And notice — as your body learns it can trust you, the hunger settles into normal patterns. It won't spiral forever. It's asking for trust, not trying to harm you. You don't have to navigate this alone Honoring extreme hunger is scary, and doing it with someone in your corner makes all the difference. This is exactly the kind of thing I walk through with my one-on-one clients — challenging the voice, holding you accountable, and helping you honor your body in a way that's scalable and doesn't send you into a freak-out zone.

"Work-life balance isn't a thing... it's about work-life harmony." In a world obsessed with digital efficiency and quick fixes, the real currency of a meaningful life remains independent thought, presence, and intentional effort. In this episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times, host Chris Schembra sits down with Ayla Nova, founder of Yoga Nidra & Beyond and creator of The Peace in Rest Program. From navigating life-altering health crises and traumatic brain injuries to guiding listeners worldwide toward restorative sleep and mental clarity, Ayla breaks down the science, psychology, and spiritual practice of non-sleep deep rest (NSDR). She shares key lessons on managing internal tension, unlearning limiting beliefs, and using intentional stillness to unlock human intuition and creative genius. 10 Memorable Quotes: "Surrender to something bigger than yourself, lean into discipline to do positive work for our world, and you'll have the power to make the world a better place tomorrow." — Chris Schembra "Discipline is a ring on the door... when you show up for yourself in that way, then the opportunities start knocking." — Ayla Nova "We get so busy in the doing that we forget that the answer is being." — Ayla Nova "Yoga Nidra is true surrender, but it's also a practice for integrating your reality so that you can bring it out into the world when you're complete." — Ayla Nova "The present moment is flawless." — Ayla Nova "When you're being honest with yourself, where do you feel the tension in your body? And what would be the opposite of that experience?" — Ayla Nova "If AI helps you stand and run fast, and meditation helps you sit with your thoughts, Yoga Nidra is done laying down on the floor." — Chris Schembra "A leader's act of self-care means to be regulated from a capacity standpoint yourself so that then you can pour that capacity positively into others." — Chris Schembra "Learning is not differentiated... the hard thing that requires discipline is the unlearning part that comes from surrender." — Chris Schembra "Gratitude doesn't change your circumstances; it changes your capacity to carry them." — Chris Schembra 10 Key Takeaways: The Healing Power of Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR): How Ayla used Yoga Nidra to heal and rebuild her life through severe health crises, loss of mobility, and a traumatic brain injury. Navigating the Tension of Opposites: Learning to hold space for contrasting internal states—such as uncertainty and trust—to discover a grounded middle path. Unlocking Intuition over Artificial Logic: Accessing Vijnanamaya Kosha (the inner wisdom body) through intentional rest to make creative decisions from intuition rather than forced analytical logic. Shifting from Reactive to Responsive Leadership: Regulating the nervous system to cultivate essential leadership traits: discernment, patience, clarity, and acceptance. Broadening the Cognitive Periphery: Stepping back from narrow, task-oriented focus to view broader data points, connect disparate ideas, and make wiser long-term strategic choices. The Metaphor of the Ground and Surrender: Using Savasana (corpse pose) to quiet the ego, let go of performative busyness, and reconnect with fundamental human truth. Reallocating Time with "Einstein Time": Overcoming the illusion of calendar scarcity by being fully present in current moments, effectively creating expansive time elsewhere. Integrative Mental Health Practices: Moving beyond passive escapism and digital input to engage in conscious rest that processes stored emotional tension. The Power of "Unlearning": Recognizing that modern growth requires unlearning old mental models through stillness before relearning new frameworks. Daily Discipline as Self-Trust: Embracing consistency and structured self-care routines to build deep internal trust and model integrity for others. About our Guest: Ayla Nova is a trauma-informed Yoga Nidra guide, teacher trainer, and the founder of Yoga Nidra & Beyond, a global platform for Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) that reaches listeners each week through her podcast, YouTube channel, and the Nova Nidra Community.

Ever feel like you're spiraling? If it seems like nothing you try is working and you're somehow driving your kid further away, you're not alone—and it's not just about your kid. In this episode, Elaine and Diane dig into the parent experience—the overwhelm, frustration, guilt, and worry that show up when we're raising complex kids, and why noticing our own reactivity (hello, SODA: shut down, offense, defense, avoid) is the first step to showing up differently. If you've ever wondered why you react the way you do, this one's for you. Hit play.What to expect in this episode:Why the parent experience—not the kid's—is often the missing piecAn introduction to SODA: the four common reactive patterns (Shut down, Offense, Defense, Avoid) and how to spot yoursThe difference between being "aware," "alert," and "alarmed,” and why many parents live in alert without realizing itWhy uncertainty, even more than the actual problem, is often what makes parents feel unsafeA reminder that feeling alone in this struggle is a signal worth paying attention to, not a truth about your situationDownload free guide: Top 12 Tips To Help Your Complex KidsConnect with ImpactParents: InstagramFacebookLinkedInSubstack
In part 5 of our Back to Basics series, we explore reactive regulation, a powerful approach to managing your nervous system in moments of anxiety, overwhelm, or shutdown. Learn how to use your body's natural stress responses to create a personalized toolkit for finding more calm and intentionality amidst life's challenges.3 Takeaways:Reactive Resourcing: Reactive regulation is like a first-aid kit for your nervous system – a set of tools that provide temporary safety cues to help you bridge the gap between stress and regulation in moments of dysregulation.Meet Your System: The principle of “meeting your nervous system where it is” and “tool layering” is essential – rather than forcing calm when activated or high energy when shut down, acknowledge your current state first and then incrementally guide yourself toward regulation.Proactive Practice: Proactively practicing your reactive regulation tools in low-stress situations makes them more accessible and effective when you're facing bigger challenges.CLICK HERE for the full show notes, resources, and 3 tangible takeaways! *click here to view the impala video I referenced in the episode—Ps.

Back to school season means new routines, new classrooms… and a whole lot of new germs. In this episode of the Prime Family Podcast, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie break down how parents can proactively support their child's immune system before school starts and throughout the school year. From vitamin D and zinc to nutrition, probiotics, hydration, reducing sugar, and supporting the nervous system, they share practical ways parents can help prepare their kids for the inevitable exposure that comes with heading back to school. Getting sick can be a normal part of childhood—the goal isn't to fear every sniffle. It's to give your child's body the support it needs to respond well when those viruses come around. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Why Kids Get Sick When They Go Back to School 00:45 – Being Proactive Instead of Reactive 03:04 – Vitamin D & Back-to-School Immune Support 04:38 – Why Zinc Is Important for Kids 06:18 – Filling Nutritional Gaps 09:24 – Probiotics, Gut Health & Immunity 11:39 – Additional Immune Support 13:04 – Elderberry & Immune Health 14:24 – Hydration, Electrolytes & Cutting Back on Sugar 16:01 – The Nervous System & Immune Response 17:23 – Putting It All Together for a Healthier School Year If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and turn on notifications so you never miss a new episode of the Prime Family Podcast. #KidsHealth #BackToSchool #ImmuneSystem #ChildrensHealth #ImmuneSupport #HealthyKids #Parenting #PrimeFamilyPodcast
Some weeks the conversation just goes where it goes. Evan and Cormac spend this one reading Wikipedia and AI overviews at each other in real time — the AIA convention ping-ponging from Philadelphia to Los Angeles, SoFi Stadium sunk 100 feet into the ground for the LAX flight path, its cable-net roof that expands and contracts like a tennis racket until Cormac christens it a "thermal reactive umbrella." Along the way: stadiums built as war memorials, U2 tours, and Public Enemy's opening statement in Birmingham.Underneath the tangents is a real question for the profession. The Architecture Billings Index (ABI) has sat below 50 for a year, job confidence is low, and the flagship AIA convention costs each attendee around $1,500 before tours and CEUs. This episode is especially relevant for architects deciding whether that show is still worth attending when the economy is soft — and anyone who's quietly started reading the convention as an expense instead of an investment. It's a loose, funny episode that lands somewhere honest.

In this episode, Dr. Gladden speaks with Dr. Hany Demian about the shift from reactive medicine to prevention, personalization, and longevity-focused care. Dr. Hany shares how his journey through breast surgery, emergency medicine, and chronic pain management led him to a more systems-based approach to health, aging, and healing. They discuss why aging may be better understood as a condition, how patient empowerment changes outcomes, and why nervous system regulation, stress reduction, and individualized care matter as much as diagnostics and therapies.

That doesn't mean she's failing—it means her biology is changing.Key takeaways:Hormones affect the brain—not just reproduction.Irritability is one of the earliest signs of perimenopause.You didn't lose your ability to cope—your brain needs more support.

A Parenting Resource for Children’s Behavior and Mental Health
If you've been wondering, how can I be less emotionally reactive?, the answer starts with understanding what your child's behavior is really communicating. Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, creator of Regulation First Parenting™, explains how calming the nervous system creates lasting change for the whole family.Parenting a dysregulated child can leave you feeling like you're constantly putting out fires. You're not alone. When nothing seems to work, it's easy to believe you need a new consequence, a better strategy, or another diagnosis.In this episode, I explain why behavior is communication and why the behaviors you see are often signals of an overloaded nervous system—not the actual problem. You'll learn how changing one simple question can transform your parenting and help your child build real regulation skills.Why Does My Child Keep Having Meltdowns Even When We Try Everything?Many parents spend years trying to stop the meltdown instead of understanding what caused it. Meltdowns, anxiety, defiance, and focus problems are often symptoms—not the root issue.When a child's nervous system becomes overwhelmed, behavior becomes the brain's way of asking for help.Key takeaways:Behavior is a signal, not the problem.Look beyond the symptom to what is overwhelming your child.Regulation creates the foundation for lasting behavior change.Example: A child who explodes during homework may not be refusing work—they may simply have reached their nervous system's limit after a long day.

In this debrief episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon breaks down the major abuse patterns in Inez's survivor story and explores why knowing about narcissistic abuse does not necessarily make someone immune to experiencing it again. The debrief examines how an abuser can use their trauma story to create false trust, use stories about former partners to quietly communicate expectations, disguise jealousy as hurt or insecurity, and promise to care for someone before gradually making that person responsible for their emotional well-being. Brandon also discusses how punishing a victim for expressing feelings can teach them to become smaller inside the relationship, and how provoking emotional reactions allows an abuser to shift attention away from their own behavior. The episode also looks at why these tactics create confusion, self-doubt, and longer attachment to abusive relationships, while recognizing Inez's decision to leave after eleven months as evidence that the knowledge and healing she had gained did matter.
