What do we do when life breaks our hearts and we can't fix the pain for the people we love?In this moving and deeply human episode of Linda's Corner Podcast, I sit down with Brad Wolfe — singer-songwriter, community activist, and founder of Reimagine — to talk about grief, music, storytelling, and how we can transform pain into purpose, connection, and healing.Brad shares the story of his childhood friend Sara, who was diagnosed with a rare pediatric cancer. Faced with the helplessness that so many people feel during tragedy, Brad discovered something powerful: even when we can't make everything better, we can still show up with love. He brought his guitar to the hospital and began singing for Sara, eventually writing a song for her called “Sara's Got a Sunbeam.” Through music, Brad witnessed not only emotional comfort, but even relief from some of Sara's physical symptoms.The experience transformed Brad as well. He realized that helping others creates healing for everyone involved. That journey eventually led to the creation of the Sunbeam Foundation, which has since raised more than $1 million for cancer research. Brad also formed his band, Brad Wolfe & The Moon, debuting alongside Grammy-winning artist Sara Bareilles.We also discuss the powerful story behind Brad's song “Why Wait?” — inspired by his grandmother, Sally Wolfe, one of the last living survivors of The Holocaust and a survivor of Auschwitz concentration camp. Sally lived to be 102 years old and left behind a profound message: life is short, so we must use our time to care for one another, practice kindness, and choose tolerance and compassion.That message became a guiding force in Brad's life and work. Through Reimagine, Brad has helped create one of the largest community movements in the United States focused on grief, healing, mortality, and meaning. Reimagine has hosted more than 4,500 events for over 250,000 people, creating safe spaces where people can share stories about loss, illness, discrimination, violence, heartbreak, and hope.We also talk about the healing power of creativity and storytelling, the role music plays in helping us process difficult emotions, and how even small steps can help us create meaning and purpose from painful experiences. Brad reminds us that while life is fragile and temporary, we still have the opportunity to live intentionally, love deeply, and do what matters most with the time we are given.You can learn more about Brad Wolfe and his work at:Brad Wolfe Official WebsiteReimagineYou can also watch Brad's powerful music video for “Why Wait?” here:Why Wait Music VideoListen, Share, and SupportIf this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who may need hope today.Be sure to subscribe, leave a rating and review, and help us spread more healing and inspiration to the world.Free Resource for HealingIf you're ready to release stress, calm your mind, and begin healing from within, visit:

Navigating the Empty Nest: How to Downsize and Reimagine Your Future (Season 6 | Episode 247) with Ya How to Downsize and Reimagine Your Future [TESSA] Welcome back to the Open Nesters Podcast blog! In our latest episode of Season 6, we continue our mission of trading empty for open, opening the door to new adventures, vibrant health, and reimagined relationships. Amir and I had the absolute pleasure of welcoming back one of our favorite guests, our dear friend Ya. Since she and her partner Carl moved away from New England down to North Carolina, I’ve been in absolute awe of how they've grown and evolved. They are the perfect example of what it means to truly lean into this stage of life—making dramatic shifts, coming together, and fearlessly stepping out into the unknown. A Whirlwind Move and the Empty Nest During our conversation, Ya opened up about their whirlwind relocation from Connecticut to Charlotte. In just eight weeks, they sold their house and moved away from the area they had called home for 16 years. What makes this transition so incredibly significant is that it was their very first move without their children. With their oldest two already living independently, their youngest daughter used this relocation as an opportunity to find her own place in New York. Ya shared how deeply proud she is of her kids’ independence, proving that as parents, we really do build a foundation that allows them to navigate the world on their own while we boldly figure out our next act. Of course, moving away from a four-bedroom house on two acres meant a massive downsizing effort. Ya described the intense but liberating journey of minimalism, dividing their lifelong belongings among four different households as her children also settled into new apartments. It was a beautiful, tangible lesson in impermanence. By letting go of physical items—whether they were handed down to her kids, sold, or donated—Ya planted seeds of understanding for her family that life is always shifting. It's a powerful reminder that our homes are ultimately made of the relationships we nurture, not the objects we collect along the way. Redefining Community with Intentionality One of the most fascinating parts of our interview was Ya's perspective on how we build communities throughout the different seasons of our lives. When we're younger, our circles are largely based on proximity, like schoolmates or entry-level coworkers. Later, they tend to revolve around our children's playdates and sports teams. But when the kids finally fly the nest, we are often left wondering who our true circle really is. Ya and Carl realized that at this stage, friendship requires absolute intentionality; they had to consciously figure out who they wanted to surround themselves with and what spaces actually aligned with their authentic selves. nd they certainly found their tribe in Charlotte! Moving to a walkable, diverse city environment allowed them to organically connect with people who share their unique interests. As polyamorous and active members of the king/swinger lifestyle, Ya and Carl intentionally sought out a larger Black and Brown community, using platforms to discover local meetups and “munches.” From roller skating and arcade nights to starting a dedicated Facebook group for like-minded couples, they are shaking things up and proving that you don’t have to quietly settle into a 55-and-over community unless you truly want to. Empowering Others Through Coaching and Canella LS Events Beyond her personal adventures, Ya is pouring her vitality into incredible professional projects. She is currently coaching within Black and Brown communities to help decolonize the mindset around non-monogamy, guiding folks to move ethically without the burden of societal shame or judgment. I was especially thrilled to hear about her new venture, Canella LS Events. By hosting events like an R&B-infused “Leather and Lace” night and educational impact play demos in traditionally “vanilla” spaces, Ya is normalizing alternative lifestyles and giving people a safe, welcoming environment to explore exactly who they are. Embracing Your Next Act As my partner Amir perfectly noted at the end of our chat, Ya is so remarkably comfortable in her own skin, and there is absolutely nothing phony about her. Her courage to start a new business, build an entirely new community from scratch, and authentically reimagine her future is deeply inspiring to me. If you are contemplating a major change in your own life, I hope Ya’s story encourages you to let the excitement of a new adventure completely overshadow the anxiety. Be open to the possibilities, say yes to the things that light you up, and remember to live every day in gratitude for the beautiful transitions ahead!

There are so many ways to approach coaching, business, and personal growth, but finding your own style can sometimes feel harder than learning the actual tools.          In this episode, I talk with Amanda Stark, a coach who has helped hundreds of women put themselves first, about Human Design, coaching, and what it takes to build a business that actually fits your life and personality. We explore how Amanda uses Human Design alongside mindset coaching, what she learned from coaching inside another coaching community, and how she developed a coaching style that feels aligned with who she is.           For full show notes, transcript, and to join the waitlist for Reimagine, go to: lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/298                   Learn more about The Complete Coach here: lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/the-complete-coach                  Follow along over on Instagram: instagram.com/lindsaydotzlaf

Pastor Peter Young spoke on 2 Timothy 3:14-17 during Part 10 of the Re:Imagine sermon series, where we learned that the bible is the authoritative word of God that has the power to transform our lives

In this Aspire Mailbag episode, Joshua Stamper and Jeff Gargas tackle two leadership topics that are on a lot of educators' minds right now: how to hire great people when applicant pools are shrinking, and how to rethink student discipline in ways that actually build skills. They explore why culture matters in attracting the right staff, how leaders can look beyond interview answers to find the right fit, and what it means to create a school or district people genuinely want to be part of.The conversation also dives into the tension between punishment and education in student behavior systems. Joshua and Jeff discuss why discipline should not be about simply removing students or making them “sit and think,” but instead about teaching regulation, repairing harm, and helping students build the skills they need for the future. This episode offers practical leadership insight for administrators, coaches, and educators who want to build stronger teams and healthier school cultures.Follow Jeff Gargas:Twitter:https://twitter.com/jeffgargasInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/_jeffgargas/Follow The Teach Better Team:Twitter:https://twitter.com/teachbetterteamWebsite:https://www.teachbetter.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/teachbetterteamInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/teachbetterteamThe Teach Better Podcast:https://www.teachbetter.com/podcast/https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1949595668/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1949595668&linkCode=as2&tag=aspirewebsite-20&linkId=76f63506c1e5b2f907d05fb13ab6f8e4 Teach Better Academy: https://www.teachbettercommunity.com/academy Use Coupon Code: ASPIRE for 50% Off for LIFE — #1 New Release, "The Language of Behavior" is NOW Available! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DVT32KQ1?&linkCode=ll1&tag=aspirewebsite-20&linkId=d18e5a44a6582a22d15ee23193af7bb8&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl The Language of Behavior is an essential guide for school leaders committed to transforming their school culture and addressing student behavior through a more compassionate, effective approach.

Through three core tenets—Consider the Environment, Explore the Root Causes of Behavior, and Respond with Intentionality—this book equips leaders with actionable strategies to foster positive behavior, build stronger relationships, and cultivate a more supportive school climate. Packed with real-world case studies, evidence-based practices, and insights into the lasting effects of childhood trauma, The Language of Behavior provides school leaders with the tools to create lasting, meaningful change. It offers a roadmap to reduce behavior issues, re-engage students and staff, and establish a culture of accountability and empathy.

What if grief is a potential doorway into deeper connection?Traci Stein sits down with Brad Wolfe—singer-songwriter and founder of “Reimagine”, a nonprofit helping people have more honest, human conversations about death, loss, and meaning. Brad shares this impact of growing up with Holocaust survivor grandparents on his anxiety about death, how losing his college friend Sarah to cancer introduced him to the healing power of music, and how heartbreak became the seed of a movement that's now reached 250,000+ people.Brad also tells the story of Grace Livingston, a Reimagine volunteer diagnosed with terminal ovarian cancer at 30, whose wish for a more open conversation about dying inspired Brad's new song and music video, “Cover You in Flowers.” Together, Traci and Brad explore issues of spirituality, life after death, how grief can open us to connection, and what it means to truly show up for one another.Mentioned in this episode:- Brad Wolfe & The Moon: https://www.bradwolfe.com/- Reimagine: https://letsreimagine.org/- “Cover You in Flowers” — watch the music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AeShLTViFI- Grief In Our Times Virtual Summit — October 15 (free, open to all) For more on Traci Stein and the Unpacking Possibility Podcast, visit: https://www.drtracistein.com/

To celebrate hitting 250 episodes of Playing With Fire, we're diving deep into something we've been asked about constantly since our first episode on it over a year ago: Relationship Re-Imagination.We introduced this concept back in episode 194, and the response was immediate and intense; people wanted steps, phases, a roadmap—something they could follow to Re-Imagine their relationships. But this is not a linear process you can follow off a checklist. This is soul-making work. It's the kind of deep, transformative process that asks you to see yourself, your partner(s), and your relationship with fresh eyes—and then co-create something new from that place of awareness. It's messy, non-linear, and profoundly worthwhile, and we're finally ready to share what we've learned from years of doing this work, both in our own relationship and with hundreds of clients and students.This episode is different from our usual format. Ken interviews Joli about her framework for Relationship Re-Imagination, and we get into the complexity of what this work actually requires.In this episode, we talk about:— What Relationship Re-Imagination actually is (and what it isn't)— Why this isn't the same as couples counseling, de-escalation, or conscious uncoupling— The essential conditions required before you even begin this work— Why you absolutely cannot do this work in three months (or even six), and what a realistic timeline might look like— The four ongoing conditions of a Re-Imagination— The threads you'll weave together during the process, including nervous system, grief, shadow, repair, and becoming work— How to know when you've crossed a threshold and why ritual matters so much— The three potential outcomes of discernment work, and why conscious uncoupling isn't a failure— How to celebrate the hell out of your transformationResources mentioned in this episode:— Episode 194 of Playing With Fire: Our first conversation about relationship re-imagination— ⁠The Wild Edge of Sorrow⁠ by Francis Weller— Two free weeks of Brain-Based Wellness— Our Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Essentials playlist— Individuation Alchemy, our nine-month container for depth psychological practice— Our Sexual Shadow MasterclassJOIN The Year Of Opening® community for a full year of learning & supportLearn the 5 secrets to open your relationship the smart wayAre you ready to open your relationship happily?

In this episode, I'm inviting us to reimagine one of the biggest fears that holds so many of us back—the fear of failure. I share a personal story about standing on stage, promoting a course, and walking away without a single sale. Surprisingly, I didn't feel like I had failed. Instead, I realized that success wasn't measured by the outcome—it was measured by the courage it took to show up. That experience completely changed how I think about failure. We'll explore why our brains often exaggerate the pain of failure, how fear quietly disguises itself as procrastination, perfectionism, overthinking, and playing small, and why the greatest cost isn't usually failure at all—it's never trying. I also share practical mindset shifts to help us move forward with courage, trust God more deeply, and stop letting fear make our decisions. If you've been waiting until you feel ready, this episode is your reminder that confidence comes after we begin, not before. I hope it encourages you to take that next brave step and keep reimagining what's possible. Until next week, I love you Julie

Brad Wolfe has spent much of his life asking what gives life meaning. As the grandson of Auschwitz survivors, he grew up hearing stories of unimaginable suffering, survival, and the kind of love that can still exist after profound trauma. Later, when his close friend Sarah was diagnosed with a rare pediatric cancer, Brad found himself showing up at her bedside with the one language he knew best: music. Writing songs for Sarah during her illness became both an offering to her and the beginning of a larger question that would shape his life and work: why wait to live with more love, purpose, and compassion?In this conversation, Brad and Heather talk about grief, music, post-traumatic growth, and the ways pain can become something meaningful without ever making the loss itself okay. Brad shares the story of his grandparents, the lessons his grandmother left behind, the friendship that inspired his early work with pediatric cancer families, and the creation of Reimagine, a community built around helping people face death and embrace life. They also explore what it means to keep showing up, how small acts of service can carry someone's memory forward, and why the people we lose can continue shaping how we live. It's a thoughtful conversation about love, legacy, creativity, and choosing not to wait for some later moment to live more fully.Resources & Ways to ConnectReimagine Website: https://letsreimagine.org/Brad Wolfe and the Moon: https://www.bradwolfe.com/Jake's Help from Heaven Website: http://jakeshelpfromheaven.org/Jake's Help from Heaven Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jakeshelpJake's Help from Heaven Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jakeshelpAPOY Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aplaceofyespodcastHeather's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathersstraughterOur YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@aplaceofyespodcastFor more of Heather's writing and thoughts: https://ohheather.substack.com/Everything's Jakey (Substack): https://everythingsjakey.substack.com/

There are certain thoughts that seem to show up at exactly the wrong time. Just when you're working toward something meaningful, they appear and sound so convincing that they feel like facts. Whether it's "I'm not good enough," "I'm not ready yet," or "I'm so far behind," these deeply ingrained beliefs can quietly shape the way you think, act, and coach.      In this episode, I share eight coaching strategies for working through core beliefs, both for yourself and for your clients. I explore why these beliefs feel so true, how they become deeply practiced over time, and what to do when logic alone is not enough to loosen their grip.                                       For full show notes, transcript, and to join the waitlist for Reimagine, go to: lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/296                Learn more about The Complete Coach here: lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/the-complete-coach                Follow along over on Instagram: instagram.com/lindsaydotzlaf

Growing a coaching business can feel exciting until the way you're running it stops supporting the business you've built. If you're successful by most measures but constantly overwhelmed behind the scenes, the problem might not be motivation, discipline, or consistency.     In this episode, I talk with Michelle MacNeil, a coach who teaches people systems and processes, about simple systems and how they can make your coaching business more sustainable. We discuss what happens when your business outgrows the way you've been managing it, why systems do not have to be complicated, and how to identify the places where your current processes are making things harder than they need to be.                                  For full show notes, transcript, and to join the waitlist for Reimagine, go to: lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/295                Learn more about The Complete Coach here: lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/the-complete-coach                Follow along over on Instagram: instagram.com/lindsaydotzlaf            Learn more about Michelle's work: michellemacneil.com

The idea of "having it all" can feel inspiring, unrealistic, or even frustrating depending on who you ask. For many ambitious women, it often feels like there is an invisible tradeoff between success, family, health, relationships, and the things that matter most.      In this episode, I talk with colleague and client, Binie Klein, about what it really means to have it all and why the answer may be different than you think. We explore how Binie defines a fulfilling life, the role priorities play in shaping your choices, and why being intentional with your time is about much more than productivity.                               For full show notes, transcript, and to join the waitlist for Reimagine, go to: lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/294               Learn more about The Complete Coach here: lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/the-complete-coach                Follow along over on Instagram: instagram.com/lindsaydotzlaf           Learn more about Binie's work: binieklein.com

It's the stage where the body can no longer produce enough insulin on its own to manage blood sugars you need to start insulin. This approval is for kids ages 8-17 within 8 weeks of a stage 3 T1D diagnosis. It comes after the PROTECT trial and it's the first approval of a disease-modifying therapy for stage 3 T1D. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/breakthrough-t1d-celebrates-approval-of-tzield-for-use-in-stage-3-type-1-diabetes-in-the-us-302799532.html XX Encouraging results from a small study of islet cell transplantation in people with type 1 where now all 12 participants in the trial are currently living without external insulin after receiving transplanted insulin-producing islet cells.   The study, led by researchers at the University of Chicago, tested an experimental immune therapy called tegoprubart Te-GO-Proo-Bart. The drug is designed to prevent the body from rejecting transplanted cells while avoiding some of the side effects associated with standard anti-rejection medications. You've probably heard about this as the Eledon study – many of the participants have been very active on social media. It was presented at ADA. transplants.https://www.breakthrought1d.org/news-and-updates/tegoprubart-islet-transplant-all-participants-off-external-insulin/ XX New data suggest that acmopatide (ack-MOW-puh-tyd) (CT-868), an experimental once-daily dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist, may help people with type 1 diabetes improve blood sugar control, lose weight, and reduce insulin use. Across all doses, participants lost up to 7% of their body weight and reduced insulin use by as much as 15%. The study lasted just 16 weeks, so researchers say longer-term data will be needed to determine whether the benefits can be maintained and whether lower insulin requirements can be achieved without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia. XX A new combination therapy that pairs an amylin analog with semaglutide improved both blood sugar levels and weight loss in several groups of people with type 2 diabetes. The once-weekly injectable, known as CagriSema (KAG-ruh-SEM-uh), was evaluated in three Phase 3 REIMAGINE studies. In people early in the course of type 2 diabetes, researchers reported A1C reductions of up to 1.8 percentage points and significant weight loss compared to placebo after 40 weeks of treatment. Investigators also noted improvements in several cardiometabolic risk factors, including blood pressure. https://www.medpagetoday.com/meetingcoverage/ada/121658 XX Stelo for kids is now FDA cleared.. the over the counter Glucose Biosensor System is now approved for children as young as 2 years old who do not use insulin. The FDA identified pediatric prediabetes as a growing public health concern motivating the expanded indication, noting OTC CGMs can help younger users and their caregivers build glycemic awareness, track patterns in response to me https://www.hcplive.com/view/fda-clears-first-otc-glucose-monitor-for-children XX Insulet presented new data from its STRIVE and EVOLUTION 3 studies showing improved glucose control with its next-generation Omnipod 6. That's , the company's upcoming hybrid closed-loop system for people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The main difference between the Omnipod 6 and Insulet's current Omnipod 5 patch pumps is that the new system has a lower glucose target of 100 mg/dL and better Bluetooth connectivity Insulet also shared progress on a fully closed-loop system designed specifically for type 2 diabetes. It  does not require carb-counting or insulin bolusing ahead of meals. Physicians also don't need to program the starting settings.   XX Abbott shared new research highlighting challenges in identifying and managing diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The studies coincide with the company's development of Libre Duo, a dual glucose-ketone sensor that continuously tracks both measurements. Abbott reported that DKA can be difficult to recognize when patients first arrive at the hospital, based on data from more than 100,000 people. The company has submitted the dual sensor to the FDA and recently received CE Mark approval in Europe. More news from ADA including info from Dexcom, Sequel, Sensonics and the world loses a tireless T1D advocate.. that's all to come right after this. --   Back to the news.. XX   Dexcom announced its acquisition of Nutrisense, a company that combines continuous glucose monitoring with nutrition coaching and behavioral support. At ADA, the company also presented results from the CONNECT study showing significant A1C reductions and improved glucose control in people with type 2 diabetes not using insulin. The findings add to growing evidence supporting CGM use beyond intensive insulin therapy. We did an episode with CEO Jake Leach at ADA about these announcements as well as updates on G8, their hospital product and much more. XX Sequel Med Tech reported positive clinical results evaluating its twiist automated insulin delivery system in people with type 2 diabetes. The study showed improvements in A1C and time in range over 13 weeks XX Senseonics presented new real-world data supporting the performance of its Eversense 365 implantable CGM. The analysis included more than 12,000 sensors and demonstrated sustained accuracy and effectiveness in both open-loop and automated insulin delivery settings. Researchers also evaluated Eversense use with Sequel Med Tech's twiist system. The findings support broader use of long-term implantable CGM technology.   -- MiniMed used ADA 2026 to spotlight two recently cleared diabetes management systems. The MiniMed Flex pump offers a smaller, smartphone-controlled insulin pump option, while MiniMed Go combines the InPen smart insulin pen with Abbott's Instinct sensor. The products received FDA clearance earlier this year. XX Tandem Diabetes Care highlighted data supporting the use of its Control-IQ automated insulin delivery technology during pregnancy. Results from the CIRCUIT trial showed users spent approximately three additional hours per day in the recommended pregnancy glucose range compared with standard therapy. The findings helped support recent regulatory approvals for pregnancy use in both Europe and the United States. Tandem also expanded indications for adults with type 2 diabetes. XX Beta Bionics presented real-world data from the first three years of iLet Bionic Pancreas use. The company reported a 25% improvement in time in range among users, along with positive feedback from clinicians about simplified diabetes management. The iLet system requires only a user's weight to begin therapy and eliminates carbohydrate counting. Beta Bionics also highlighted growing access to near-real-time outcomes through its public data dashboard. XX MannKind presented new findings supporting its Afrezza inhaled insulin at ADA 2026. A post-hoc analysis of the INHALE-1 study found that pediatric users reported greater treatment satisfaction compared with those using rapid-acting injected insulin. The results come shortly after FDA approval expanded Afrezza's indication to include children. We did a bonus episode with one of the lead investigators of the study that lead to that approval. XX Adaptyx presented early clinical data supporting a wearable sensor that continuously measures cortisol levels. The device successfully tracked cortisol changes during both controlled testing and overnight monitoring in first-in-human studies. Company leaders say cortisol plays a major role in conditions including diabetes, hypertension, and depression. The technology uses synthetic DNA-based molecular switches to generate real-time readings.   XX Biolinq shared new clinical findings for its Shine continuous glucose monitoring system. The needle-free device combines glucose monitoring with activity and sleep tracking .The system received FDA clearance in 2025. They're also looking at measuring lactate through the sensor. XX Long-time T1D advocate Kent Schnakenberg died last week. Schnakenberg was known in his community for using his love of bicycling to raise awareness of Type 1 diabetes. He also advocated for improving the lives of those living with the disease. Inspired by his niece, Michelle, who was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes when she was 13 years old, since 2014 he has traveled around the country cycling thousands of miles, speaking to hundreds and hundreds of kids and raising Money. According to Schnakenberg's family, he suffered a head trauma incident in his home on Wednesday. I spoke to Kent years ago – I believe the first year of the podcast. A sad loss but wonderful to see so many tributes and memories posted on social media in the last few days. https://diabetes-connections.com/john-costik-co-creator-of-nightscout-team-schnak/ https://www.wibw.com/2026/06/12/team-schnak-founder-kent-schnakenberg-passes-away/ XX And finally. Alexander Zverev (ts-ver-uhv) won the French Open, his first Grand Slam title. He lives with type 1, he paused a couple of time to check his blood sugar. He was diagnosed at age 4 and partners with Medtronic. "Becoming a professional tennis player was always my dream," Zverev shared in an article posted by Medtronic. "Early on, I was told that competing at the highest level with diabetes was impossible — but my family and I refused to accept that. That's why I'm partnering with Medtronic Diabetes: I want every person with diabetes to feel empowered to live the life they want." He also has a foundation committed to children with type 1 diabetes. Among other things, the life-saving insulin and other essential drugs are provided – also in developing countries." https://www.mensjournal.com/news/alexander-zverev-diabetes-wins-french-open-2026-medical-condition

Mark Scandrette has spent over twenty years wrestling with a hard realization: knowing a lot about God doesn't mean you're good at following Jesus. Dave Kludt spent fifteen years in pastoral ministry learning that everything, down to how you arrange the chairs in a room, forms people. Together they co-teach a Doctor of Ministry cohort at Fuller Seminary built around two words: integral and embodied. Mark is the founder of Reimagine and author of Practicing the Way of Jesus and The Ninefold Path of Jesus, and a longtime friend of the podcast (he first joined us back on episode 112).

Pastor Wayne Chen spoke on Hebrews 11:8-14 during Part 4 of the Re:Imagine sermon series, where we learned that we should fix our eyes on Jesus as we go through life's unknowns on our way to eternity.

Every coaching business has two roles running behind the scenes: the part of you making the big decisions and the part of you doing the day-to-day work. When those two roles are not communicating clearly, your business can start to feel heavier, more chaotic, or harder to run than it needs to.       In this episode, I talk about the relationship between your inner CEO and inner employee and how that dynamic shapes the way you make decisions, follow through, evaluate results, and talk to yourself when things do not go as planned. This is not about spending more time as the CEO and less time as the employee, but about understanding how both roles show up in your business.                                For full show notes, transcript, and to join the waitlist for Reimagine, go to: lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/293               Learn more about The Complete Coach here: lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/the-complete-coach               Follow along over on Instagram: instagram.com/lindsaydotzlaf

If you've ever felt lost in the busyness of life and unsure where to begin, this one's for you.In this episode, we explore:Why have so many midlife women lost touch with what they truly want?How collecting information isn't the same as making real changeWhy midlife is actually one of the most exciting times to get to know yourselfHow small, manageable steps lead to big shifts over timeIf you've been waiting for a gentle, private place to start reconnecting with yourself, this episode might be exactly what you've been looking for.Resources mentioned:Rediscover You – https://www.joclarkcoaching.com/shop (also available via DM on Instagram — just send the word rediscover)Connect with JoBook a 20-minute connection call: ⁠https://calendly.com/jo--138/20min?month=2025-07⁠Re Imagine mentoring: ⁠https://www.joclarkcoaching.com/work-with-me⁠Resources and programmes: ⁠https://www.joclarkcoaching.com/shopInstagram:⁠ https://www.instagram.com/joclarkcoaching/⁠LinkedIn:⁠ https://www.linkedin.com/in/joclarkcoaching/⁠

Guest post by Shefaly M. Yogendra, Ph.D. Her book "Uncharted Spaces. Reset the Agenda. Reimagine the Boardroom." is out now. A recent Institute of Directors Ireland snap poll of Irish business leaders found that most directors use AI tools with varying degrees of confidence, and a majority believes AI adoption is critical for competitiveness and relevance. However fully two-thirds are not confident about their understanding of the impact of the Regulation of AI Bill 2026 on their business. Fewer than half of the boards have discussed AI governance in the last year. This suggests a gap in broader AI fluency and hence potentially deficient guardrails and governance mechanisms. While there is huge opportunity, risks need to be managed smartly too. E.g. a 3GEM research report found that while 89% of Irish SME workers actively use AI tools in their daily workflows, only 44% of those organizations have a formal AI policy or strategy. In plain English this is a shadow IT challenge. On steroids. How could Irish SME boards enable strategic success for their businesses, such as by ensuring safe, responsible, compliant AI adoption? Here are some actionable ideas. Relevant skills: A recent EY CHRO 2030 survey found that Generative AI adoption and the transition to a green economy are both accelerating at the same time. This means that skills that did not really crystallise even five years ago are needed urgently. It is crucial to get hiring right and to build strategic, ongoing skills development capacity in the business. This change would start with the board and the executive leadership team, underpinned by a regularly updated, dynamic skills matrix. The skills matrix needs to move away from box-ticking with the static safety of well-known employers and past big titles, and move towards active exploration of experience, capabilities, and evidence of growth and reflection. This will of course change sourcing, interviewing, and appointment of candidates, and then how the board evaluates its own construction continually for relevance. Relevant mindsets: In addition to hiring for demonstrable capabilities and skills, future-relevant boards need mindsets that shape the business for future success. A changed mindset would view compliance and governance not as burdens or checklists but as enablers of growth and client acquisition. Cubic Telecom's well-known governance evolution serves as an illustrative example. Following a capital event where SoftBank became a majority owner, the board reconfigured itself to balance global ambition with local roots and operational agility. SoftBank-appointed directors serve alongside strategic customer observers from Audi and Qualcomm, while the founder and CEO Barry Napier helps bridge the company's Irish product roots with its international ambition. Barespace provides another live example, this time of how high-calibre, enterprise-grade governance could be designed and implemented well, right from the start. Following a €2.9 million seed round in September 2025, the company appointed prominent Irish VC and tech veteran Brian Caulfield as Chair of the board. Its strategic advisers include Rick Kelley and Barry Napier, who bring growth and strategic nous to the boardroom right from the foundational stage. The wisdom of these choices is borne out in the experiences of building new businesses, where specialists, hands-on warriors and famous names all play specific roles in the shaping of the business. Relevant cadence: Future-relevant boards need a different workflow and cadence than the current practice of quarterly, compliance-centric approaches. Rolling strategic reviews would serve the business well especially with shrinking and super-short technology hype cycles. These hype cycles do not need reactive, kneejerk responses but steady and calm leadership to steer the business through a time of rapid change. Wild success, however we define it, is not accidental but deliberate. Culture as the underpinning e...

There comes a point in many coaching businesses when what once worked starts to feel harder to sustain. Not because anything is wrong, but because you've grown, your priorities have changed, or the business you've built no longer fits the life you want to live.     In this episode, I talk with one of my incredible clients, Melisa Liberman, about the process of reimagining her coaching business. We explore her transition from years of one-on-one coaching to group programs, the mindset shifts that made those changes possible, and how she learned to focus on solving the right problem at the right time rather than getting distracted by everything that might come next.                             For full show notes, transcript, and to join the waitlist for Reimagine, go to: lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/292               Learn more about The Complete Coach here: lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/the-complete-coach               Follow along over on Instagram: instagram.com/lindsaydotzlaf      Learn more about Melisa's work: melisaliberman.com

Brother Kaushic spoke on Luke 8:22-25 during Part 3 of the Re:Imagine sermon series, where we learned that behind every storm, there is a PURPOSE.

The CareWorks Project provides technical expertise on issues such as workforce, caregiving, aging, and long-term services and supports financing. It also supports leaders around issues related to narrative change and strategic communications. And it helps design programs and initiatives related to long-term care, and assists with leadership and organizational development. While wages and benefits are a top need of direct care workers, they also need strong training programs that reflect today's competencies, along with honest career pathways, a wide range of workforce supports from transportation to child care, and respect, Espinoza said. Direct care workers remain largely invisible and society. There was a temporary moving of the needle during the COVID-19 pandemic, when there was a surge of appreciation for work that direct care workers do, but it did not lead to sound policy changes that materially improve their lives. If he had a magic wand, he'd create a long-term care financing system, along with the creation of policy and structural arrangements that allow people to age in place in their homes and communities. What concerns Espinoza most is the pervasive belief that care is a private burden as opposed to a public responsibility.

If your organization isn't obsessed with how fast your people can learn, you're already falling behind in the race to "out-learn" the competition. In this episode, I'm joined by Susan LaMonica, the Chief Human Resource Officer at Citizens Financial Group—a super-regional bank with $226 billion in assets and 18,000 employees.  We explore how they are driving a massive workforce transformation to build a team that is ready for the future of work.

In this episode of the Getting Smart Podcast, Nate McClennen sits down with Vriti Saraf, CEO of Ed3, to explore a timely and essential question: How do we move from using AI for efficiency to using AI for human flourishing in education? Drawing on Ed3's new research, The Emerging Role of Teachers in the Age of AI, the conversation examines how artificial intelligence is already reshaping teaching, why the future of education must center human relationships, and what new teacher personas—like learning architect, life navigator, and community connector—might emerge in more adaptive, student-centered systems. Together, Nate and Vriti unpack the risks of automation, the promise of redesigned educator roles, and why this moment demands not just better tools, but a bold rethinking of teaching, learning, and equity.

On this episode of the Retire Sooner Podcast, step back and reassess your retirement plan as Wes Moss and Christa DiBiase examine what may drive retirement happiness. Connect financial independence, taxes, and today's economic backdrop into a clearer long-term perspective. See how big decisions, from pensions to property taxes to market uncertainty, may fit together to help evaluate what matters most for your own path. • Reimagine how achieving financial independence may shift your sense of purpose, and consider ways to redirect that drive toward a more fulfilling retirement. • Size up how property taxes may shape where you live and your retirement comfort level over time. • Stack up lump-sum versus pension-income options to help understand the trade-offs among flexibility, longevity risk, and steady income. • Map out retirement withdrawal strategies using historical market data and behavioral factors, while recognizing that outcomes may vary. • Make sense of today's “mixed signals” economy by connecting jobs data, corporate margins, inflation, and Federal Reserve policy as context, not predictions. • Think through options for late starters and compare 529 plans with Solo Roth 401(k)s as potentially flexible ways to approach education funding within a broader plan.
