Send us Fan MailWhat if rejection isn't the end of the story—but part of the transformation?In this episode of Wildly Unplug, Lauren returns to her 1,000 Rejection Challenge, inspired by Gabby Carr's rejection challenge, and shares what happened after stepping back into the arena and making 10 new asks.One rejection stung—an artist residency at a Frank Lloyd Wright house. But then an unexpected email arrived: Lauren had received a Guy Harvey Foundation Educator Grant. There was just one problem: she was still waitlisted for the conservation education training the grant was intended to support. Instead of assuming the answer was no, she asked—and a spot opened up.That experience becomes a larger reflection on rejection, self-worth, resilience, persistence, creativity, and learning to recognize opportunities hidden inside a “no.”Lauren also introduces Nemo, a monarch butterfly who emerged with a crumpled wing and cannot be released into the wild. As she cares for him, she discovers fascinating things about monarch butterfly behavior while reflecting on transformation, struggle, and what it means to patiently develop your “wing muscles.”Then comes an unexpected connection between faith, butterflies, and rejection. After listening to a homily about personal worth, struggle, transformation, and the importance of allowing a butterfly to struggle as it emerges from its chrysalis, Lauren finds Nemo the very next day.Is it a coincidence? A message? Or simply a moment that became meaningful because she slowed down enough to notice it?This episode explores what happens when we pay attention, journal, spend time in nature, and stop rushing toward the next answer. Sometimes we don't see how the pieces connect until we pause long enough to look back.Lauren also shares her latest 1,000 Rejection Challenge statistics and talks about her upcoming conservation education training in Key Largo.The challenge this week: If you see someone—or something—in need of help, go out of your way to help.And as always… unplug, get outside, and see what develops.

Dan & Manny have an old school show & tell and put some nostalgic toys to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST!   “Come to Toys "R" Us and spend all your parents' money” -Manny Coelho   Oh man! This is a fun nostalgic hangout all about toys, water fights, toy stores, candy, and classic Nostalgia Test Tangents. Dan & Manny bring a bunch of toys to surprise, show & tell, and put to the test. No one knows what the other is bringing, so you know this always leads to some fun nostalgic chaos. Some of the toys are plastic water guns, balls, sticky hands, and Silly Putty even makes an appearance! While all of this is going on, Dan takes it upon himself to have a side Nostalgia Test putting Life Savers and Bubble Tape to the ultimate test, and you can imagine how that goes. In a time where all our fun is becoming more and more intangible, our imaginations are under attack, and our third spaces are being erased, talking about childhood toys and fun is more important than ever. We need to take these things back and engage in real messy fun. One of the moments in this episode that proves this is when Dan & Manny reminisce about having water fights in their yards. If you don't know what a water fight is, get on looking it up, grabbing some friends, and having some old fashion wet and wild fun. This isn't just a comedic look back on a simpler toy past, it's a necessary reminder that at one point in our history we were able to have fun with way less, that our lives weren't a race to monetization, and that time with one another meant sometimes being bored together, going somewhere, and/or thinking up an original game a la Calvinball, shoutout Calvin & Hobbes. We might not be able to go back to these times, though we can make time to be silly; it might just save our lives. So, call up your best friends, grab some water balloons, cheap water guns, some bouncy balls, and come over and hang out while we celebrate a simpler and more fun time, and who says it can't be now. ***   If you love what we're doing and want to support the podcast so we can keep this show going with better equipment and maybe meet up with each other to do some in-person recording, sponsor to The Nostalgia Test:  buymeacoffee.com/nostalgiatest   Lastly, we're looking to be booked for podcast appearances, hosting gigs and parties, maybe you have a block party coming up, a BBQ that you want to be Nostalgia themed and you're looking to make it seriously memorable, a reunion, etc., contact us to book the podcast.

We unpack a headline-making surrogacy dispute where a contract pressures a pregnancy termination, then trace how state-by-state abortion law creates conflict and confusion. We also weigh late-term abortion policy, organ transplant preservation, and AI-driven identity mimicry through a Christian pro-life lens that prioritizes both truth and compassion.SHOW NOTES:Rejected Surrogate Baby Must Get Treatment: A Texas court ordered immediate lifesaving treatment for Gabriel, born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome after his surrogate refused the intended California parents' request for an abortion. The ruling blocks delays, transfer, discharge, or removal while litigation continues, spotlighting conflicts over surrogacy, parental authority, disability, and medical decisions after birth.  (Source: https://tinyurl.com/2c83z4ka  accessed 8-13-26)Massachusetts Legalizes Abortion Until Birth: Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signed House Bill 5595, replacing restrictions on abortions after 24 weeks with physician professional judgment. The law permits later abortions outside hospitals, removes certain oversight requirements, and limits insurer review. Supporters cite access during serious complications; opponents warn it eliminates protections for viable unborn children statewide. (Source: https://tinyurl.com/24terxbm  accessed 8-12-26)Efforts to Stockpile Human Organs for Transplant: Scientists are finding new ways to keep donor organs alive outside the body. Teams supercooled pig kidneys to minus 4 degrees Celsius for days, then reimplanted them successfully. Others use perfusion machines that pump nutrients into livers, kidneys, eyes, and even a human uterus, extending viability past 24 hours. Longer preservation could ease organ shortages and reshape transplant ethics and access.  (Source: https://tinyurl.com/24h6fdtn  access 7-29-26)Preserving Human Identity Artificially: Veterans First for America unveiled a quantum-powered project claiming digital DNA could preserve a person's identity in humanoid robots after death. A 40-sensor haptic suit would record movement, vital signs, and skills, building profiles licensed for up to 500 years. Experts still demand real validation before such claims earn trust.  (Source: https://tinyurl.com/2xlh4ukf  accessed 8-3-26)Support the showThe ministry of Christian Life Resources promotes the sanctity of life and reaches hearts with the Gospel.

You are not actually afraid of rejection. You are afraid of not being wanted, and those are two different wounds.In this video on the fear of rejection, I show you why no one has ever actually rejected you, and what was really happening instead.Most content on the fear of rejection teaches you how to soothe it. This one dismantles the premise. Nobody ever rejects us. All anyone is ever doing is pursuing their own needs and wants. What you call rejection is the moment you handed your value and worth to another person and made them responsible for deciding whether you keep it. And the survival persona you built to avoid rejection is the exact thing guaranteeing you never feel wanted, because even if they want you, they are wanting a version you manufactured.I walk through my own years of constructing manipulative text messages instead of simply asking do you like me, a client who could not name his fear until he said out loud I am not okay with not being wanted, the Worst Day Cycle™ that installed this in childhood, the Authentic Self Cycle™ that gets you out, the first 6 steps of Emotional Authenticity, and the child versus adult emotional definition of worth.No one can reject you. They can only pursue their own needs and wants. What you call rejection is your value and worth being outsourced to someone else's preference.Rejection is a preference, not a verdict. When someone chooses differently, they are picking their own pizza toppings. They are not rejecting your eyes, your body, or your interests. They are pursuing the pizza they like.A survival persona cannot receive love. Affection sent to a manufactured version of you cannot land on the real you, so being liked becomes proof that nobody knows you. That is why reassurance never works on the fear of not being wanted.Your worth is either inherent or it is on loan. Adults never place the responsibility of determining their worth in somebody else's hands. Every time you edit yourself down to be chosen, you are running a childhood definition of value written before you could speak.Kenny Weiss is a relationship, communication and trauma recovery specialist and the creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™. He is the author of Your Journey To Success and Your Journey To Being Yourself.TOPICS COVERED: fear of rejection, fear of abandonment, feeling unwanted, why do I feel unwanted, fear of not being wanted, rejection sensitivity, anxious attachment, codependency, people pleasing, survival persona, self worth, childhood traumaTIMESTAMPS0:00 The message you have rewritten four times1:20 Why I spent days building one text3:10 Even if they want you, you will not feel wanted5:10 The client who could not write the agreement7:40 What the research says about hiding yourself9:20 Rejection is just pizza toppings11:40 The moment you hand over your value and worth13:40 We are fighting our childhood, not them15:30 The Worst Day Cycle behind the fear17:20 The Authentic Self Cycle and the 6 steps of EA20:00 Child worth versus adult worth21:40 What being wanted actually feels like

What if you could be rejecting God's authority without even realizing it?In Luke 20, Jesus confronts religious leaders who appeared to follow God while continually resisting His authority. They evaded the truth, divided their allegiances, and ultimately reduced Jesus to someone who could fit into their own understanding of life.And the uncomfortable truth is that we can do the same thing.We may accept God's authority in some areas of our lives while keeping Him out of others. We may avoid difficult truths because they challenge us. We may even reshape Jesus into someone who never challenges our desires, decisions, or way of living.But Jesus doesn't call us to simply admire Him. He calls us to surrender to Him.In this message from Luke 20, we'll look at what it means to become a truth seeker rather than a truth evader, to give God our complete allegiance, and to recognize Jesus as the rightful authority over every part of our lives.

Two kings of Israel. Both chosen by God. Both confronted by a prophet. Both said the exact same words: "I have sinned." One lost his throne, his dynasty, and his mind. The other was forgiven and became the standard every king in Israel's history was measured against. What was the difference? The answer is hiding in plain sight, and it will change the way you read the entire story of David.In this episode, Johnny sits down with Prof. Gary Anderson, Hesburgh Professor at the University of Notre Dame, author of Sin: A History, and one of the most decorated biblical scholars in the world. Anderson is currently finishing a book on David's confession and penance, and he brings that research straight into this conversation. Together they trace David's rise from the forgotten shepherd boy to king of Israel, the Bathsheba scandal the Bible refuses to cover up, Nathan's brilliant trap of a parable, and the side by side comparison of 1 Samuel 15 and 2 Samuel 12 that reveals why one confession saved a king and the other could not.In this episode you will learn:Why you cannot understand David without the "beloved son" pattern of GenesisHow Jacob and Joseph set the template for David's suffering and riseWhy Saul's kingdom collapsed, and how accepting David could have saved himThe real reason David spared Saul's life twice, and what those stories are doing in the textWhat actually happened in 2 Samuel 11, and how David used Uriah's own loyalty to kill himWhy Nathan came at David with a parable instead of an accusationThe difference between Saul's confession and David's, and why it changed everythingWhy forgiveness removed David's death sentence but not his consequencesHow consequences function as repair, not humiliationWhy the Messiah, the son of David, had to sufferCheck out Prof. Gary Anderson's work:Sin: A History: https://www.amazon.com/Sin-History-Gary-Anderson/dp/0300168098That I May Dwell Among Them: https://www.amazon.com/That-May-Dwell-among-Them/dp/0802883060Charity: The Place of the Poor in the Biblical Tradition: https://www.amazon.com/Charity-Place-Poor-Biblical-Tradition/dp/0300181337Notre Dame faculty page: https://theology.nd.edu/people/gary-anderson/Stay Connected:Website: Johnnyova.comYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@thejohnnyovaJohnny's Book:The Revelation Reset: https://a.co/d/hiUkW8H

Israel's demand for a human king, Samuel is growing old, his sons are dishonest judges, and the people want a ruler who will make them “like all the nations.” Samuel takes their request to the Lord, and God makes the real issue clear. Israel is not rejected Samuel. They have rejected God from being King over them. God warns Israel exactly what their choice will cost. A human king will take their sons and daughters, their labor, their fields, their produce, their possessions, and eventually make the people his servants. Yet Israel still insists on having a king who will judge them and “fight our battles.” God calls His people to be holy, to seek His kingdom first, and to trust Him as provider, protector, and King. Sometimes God allows us to have what we insist upon, but that does not mean it is His best for us. Sermon Notes 1 Samuel 8:1 – 3 Samuel's sons are dishonest judges 1 Samuel 8:4 & 5 Israel wants a king. Their reasoning is Samuel is old, his sons are dishonest and other nations have a king 1 Samuel 8:6 Samuel did not like it and prays to the Lord 1 Samule 8:7 The Lord tells Samuel that they are rejecting Him not Samuel. He also tells him to listen to the people 1 Samuel 8:8 & 9 God tells Samuel what to say and what the procedure will be for a king 1 Samuel 8:10 –18 Samuel tells them what a king will cost them 1 Samuel 8:19 & 20 Israel still wants a king like other nations and that the king will “fight for them” 1 Saamuel 8:21 & 22 Samuel repeats to God what the people said and God tells him to listen to the people

The public has largely rejected the official narrative surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's death because the circumstances were so riddled with failures, irregularities and unanswered questions that the government's conclusion never inspired broad confidence. Epstein was one of the most high-profile federal detainees in the country, yet he was taken off suicide watch, left without a cellmate, and housed in a facility where guards failed to perform required checks and later admitted falsifying records. Surveillance coverage was also plagued by problems, including malfunctioning cameras and disputes over what footage existed and what it showed, while Epstein's death came only weeks after an earlier incident in his cell that had already raised obvious concerns about his safety. The official finding was suicide by hanging, but outside experts, including pathologist Michael Baden, publicly questioned aspects of the autopsy findings, particularly fractures in Epstein's neck. None of those facts proved homicide, but together they created an environment in which skepticism was inevitable.The deeper reason the official narrative failed to persuade so many people was that Epstein's death occurred at the exact moment when his prosecution threatened to expose more about his network, finances, associates and alleged co-conspirators. That timing collided with years of documented institutional failure around Epstein, from the extraordinary non-prosecution agreement in Florida to his unusually favorable treatment during work release and the repeated failure to aggressively pursue people around him. By the time he died, the public had already seen powerful institutions give Epstein treatment that looked unlike what an ordinary defendant would receive, so being told that a chain of astonishing mistakes simply happened to culminate in his death required an enormous amount of trust that the system had already squandered. The problem was therefore never just one broken camera, one sleeping guard or one controversial autopsy detail; it was the accumulation of failures around a defendant whose case had already demonstrated how badly institutions could fail when wealth, power and influence were involved. That is why, even without definitive proof of murder, a large portion of the public continues to view the official account with suspicion: the government asked people to accept an extraordinary coincidence after giving them years of reasons not to.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jonathan Kuminga reportedly turned down the Chicago Bulls — and now Bulls fans have to ask what it really means.On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down the updated Kuminga situation after he signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves on a two-year, $13 million deal with a second-year player option. Chicago reportedly made an actual offer, along with the Lakers and Trail Blazers, but Kuminga chose Minnesota's role, winning situation, and path to rebuilding his value.Haize explains why the rejection is not devastating, but it is interesting. Kuminga fits Chicago's age timeline, but the Bulls already have Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson, Patrick Williams, Noa Essengue and Leonard Miller competing for forward minutes. The bigger concern is whether young players view Chicago as a place where they can build value — especially if the Bulls offered more money and still lost out.Then the show shifts to Bennedict Mathurin, who signed with New Orleans on a two-year, $16 million deal with a player option after averaging 17.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists last season. Haize asks whether Chicago made a mistake by not prioritizing a 24-year-old scorer at that price — especially when the Bulls still need downhill shot creation.Finally, Haize looks at whether Jordan Hawkins should now be on Chicago's radar. New Orleans had reportedly discussed Hawkins trades before adding Mathurin, and Hawkins' $7 million salary fits inside Chicago's remaining room exception. But Haize warns that Hawkins is not Mathurin or Kuminga — he is a low-cost shooting experiment whose actual NBA production has not matched the reputation yet.

An FBI profiler thinks Lindsay Clancy is a psychopath who was sick of her kids. That's how one commenter puts it, citing Pat Brown, with Matt Walsh as a second vote. The commenter rejects both of them. She's closer to the record than the people she quoted.Pat Brown was never in the FBI. She's an independent, self-taught profiler with a criminal justice master's who has written that she felt too old to join the Bureau and built her own practice instead. She has posted videos arguing Lindsay fabricated her psychosis. Matt Walsh is a political commentator who wrote that the real source of Lindsay's depression was a selfish hatred of her children. Neither has examined her or testified."Sick of her kids" isn't a fringe idea, though. It's the prosecution's theory in plainer words. Prosecutors told the jury Lindsay was controlling and killed the children because she was no longer satisfied with her life. That's a claim being weighed, and the jury hasn't ruled on it."Psychopath" is something else entirely, and the difference is the whole trial. A psychopath knows exactly what's real and doesn't care. Psychosis means losing track of what's real. The defense experts diagnosed postpartum psychosis. The prosecution's experts rejected that and said major depression or bipolar II. No one who examined her, either side, said psychopath or personality disorder.This segment covers five comments about Patrick and the system. What he did in December 2022, dated by testimony. The five words he said when a nurse raised bipolar. The Manhattan move that happened exactly when the comment says it did. The thirteen medications, which are documented. And what happens to Lindsay under each verdict.Opinions about Patrick are fair. Credentials are checkable. Diagnoses come from the witness stand.END LINKSListen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Send us Fan MailBecoming the Bison: Monarch Mistakes, Putting Down Roots & Learning to Be a Beginner AgainWhat happens when you move to a new ecosystem and realize you don't know nearly as much as you thought you did?In this week's Wildly Rejected: Becoming the Bison, Lauren shares an unexpectedly chaotic lesson involving monarch butterflies, 20 very hungry caterpillars, and one major realization about moving from Ohio to Key West, Florida. After years of watching and tagging migrating monarchs in Ohio, she discovers that island life—and the wildlife that comes with it—plays by a very different set of rules.But the monarch mishap becomes part of a much bigger transition. As Lauren settles into Key West, becomes an empty nester, starts ukulele lessons, joins the Key West Writers Guild, explores volunteering with local parrots, and looks for ways to become part of her new community, the 1,000 Rejection Challenge is beginning to change. Instead of simply asking, Will you accept my work?, the bigger question is becoming: Where do I belong?There's still rejection, too. Lauren gets an answer after a five-month wait on an environmental art grant, submits a favorite sea turtle photograph to the Sea Turtle Preservation Society's 2027 calendar contest, and makes another kind of ask—one centered on finding community rather than collecting accomplishments.This episode is about rejection, life transitions, empty nest life, monarch butterflies, citizen science, nature journaling, Key West wildlife, finding community, and giving yourself permission to become a beginner again.Because the goal may still be 1,000 rejections, but it was never supposed to become another hustle-culture checklist. Sometimes moving forward means slowing down long enough to learn the soil beneath your feet.Current 1,000 Rejection Challenge stats: 170 total asks | 39 accepted | 79 rejected | 30 in review | 17 waiting for a response | 2 waitlisted | 3 other.Wildly Unplug is a podcast about stepping away from hustle culture and reconnecting with the wild through stories of nature, conservation, creativity, wildlife, adventure, and personal growth.Until next time, unplug, get outside, and see what develops.

Bitcoin briefly broke above $80,000, reaching roughly $81,100, before profit-taking pushed it back into the upper $70Ks. Matt explains why $80K remains an important psychological resistance level, with investors who bought higher finally getting opportunities to exit and newer buyers sitting on substantial gains. He argues that a pullback toward $75K or even the low $70Ks would still be normal, while a sustained move back below $70K would make the rally look more like another bear-market bounce. The episode also covers nearly $2 billion in Bitcoin ETF inflows last week, Coinbase launching tokenized stocks on Base, Franklin Templeton expanding tokenized money-market funds in Asia, and BitMine buying roughly $81 million of Ethereum. Matt also looks at the political pressure surrounding the CLARITY Act and GENIUS Act implementation, while warning that the Fear & Greed Index at 80 shows just how quickly sentiment has shifted from fear to extreme greed.

Mark 12:1-12

Send us Fan MailKen Corkins and pastor Rocky Ellison record Season 18, Episode 24 of Pondering the Bible from a home studio during a heat wave and begin Romans 11:1–10 (RSV). They discuss Paul's argument that God has not rejected Israel, pointing to Paul's own Jewish lineage and to Elijah's despair and God's preserved 7,000 as evidence of a faithful remnant. The hosts connect this to the mixed Jewish-Gentile Roman church and its conflict, emphasizing that salvation is by grace, not works, and addressing foreknowledge versus forechoice. They explain “the elect” as Jews who accept Jesus and interpret the “hardened” through accurate Old Testament citations from Deuteronomy/Isaiah and Psalm 69, warning against complacent confidence in works.

Episode Description:This is a From the Archive episode with Arianna Huffington.Arianna Huffington returns to the show for a conversation about sleep, success, reinvention, and the cultural delusion that burnout is the price of achievement.James begins by asking practical sleep questions: Is nine hours too much? Can sleep be split into two four-hour blocks? Arianna explains that for most people, seven to nine hours is the real range, and that sleep should leave a person fully recharged, not limping through the day waiting for a second shift of rest.From there, James rewinds to Arianna's career. Before The Huffington Post, before Thrive Global, before The Sleep Revolution, Arianna had already spent decades writing, appearing on television, entering politics, changing positions, and reinventing herself. She credits her mother with giving her the belief that failure was not the opposite of success, but a stepping stone toward it.One of the central stories is Arianna's second book being rejected by 36 publishers. Out of money and unsure whether she should remain a writer, she walked into a bank in London and asked for a loan. The manager gave it to her. That small act kept her on the path.James and Arianna then talk about The Huffington Post: its rough launch, brutal early reviews, the team behind it, the importance of creating a platform, and the thrill of giving unknown people a chance to be heard. Arianna tells one of her favorite stories about a homeless teenager whose writing on HuffPost helped lead to Harvard discovering him.The conversation then turns to the 2007 collapse that changed Arianna's relationship with sleep. Arianna says the problem was not just personal overwork. It was a collective belief that sleep deprivation is required for success. But James pushes her on the personal side too, and Arianna acknowledges perfectionism: building a company, raising daughters, trying to be a perfect mother, and working through the night after college-tour days with her daughter.Arianna's answer is not a rigid sleep doctrine. It is a series of small steps. Build a transition. Remove devices from the bedroom. Lower the lights. Take a bath or shower. Read a physical book. Use gratitude as the closing scene of the day. If you wake up at 3 a.m., meditate instead of spiraling.The episode closes with joy. For Arianna, sleep is not only about health and productivity. It is about being present enough to experience life while it is happening.Editorial Note:This is a From the Archive episode. References to Arianna's role at The Huffington Post, HuffPost's size and global expansion, her contract, sleep resources, and digital products reflect the original recording period.This episode discusses sleep, medication, insomnia, health, and wellbeing. It should not be treated as medical advice. Anyone dealing with chronic insomnia, sleep medication dependence, depression, narcolepsy, or other health concerns should speak with a qualified clinician.What You'll Learn:Why Arianna says sleep deprivation is not a requirement for achievement.How her 2007 collapse changed her view of success, productivity, and wellbeing.Why most people need seven to nine hours of sleep.Why she sees failure as a stepping stone, not the opposite of success.How her mother shaped her courage, optimism, and relationship to fear.Why The Huffington Post was built as both a journalistic enterprise and a platform for voices.How brutal early reviews tested the HuffPost team.Why Arianna believes teams matter most during hard times.How perfectionism contributed to her burnout.Why sleep affects health, productivity, decision-making, creativity, and joy.Why dreams matter for memory, insight, and new ideas.How to start a sleep transition with small microsteps.Why removing devices from the bedroom is one of the first practical changes.How gratitude can become the “closing scene” of the day.Why waking up in the middle of the night is not the problem—the stress spiral is.How meditation can help turn middle-of-the-night waking into rest.Why being exhausted makes people miss the moment.Timestamped Chapters:[03:02] Arianna Huffington ReturnsJames introduces Arianna and The Sleep Revolution, and they start with the practical question of how much sleep is enough.[03:51] Can You Split Sleep Into Two Blocks?James asks about sleeping four hours in the afternoon and four at night; Arianna explains why waking up fully recharged matters.[05:16] The Secret Origins of Arianna HuffingtonJames moves from sleep to Arianna's long career of writing, media, politics, public life, and reinvention.[06:20] Failure as a Stepping StoneArianna credits her mother with teaching her to aim high and see failure as part of the path.[08:06] Rejected by 36 PublishersArianna remembers running out of money in London, walking into Barclays Bank, and receiving the loan that helped her stay a writer.[09:52] The Huffington Post BeginsArianna explains HuffPost as both a journalism operation and a platform for known and unknown voices.[11:28] The Magic of the InternetArianna tells the story of a homeless teenager whose HuffPost piece helped bring him to Harvard's attention.[11:48] When the Launch Reviews Were BrutalJames asks whether Arianna ever worried HuffPost would fail, and she remembers harsh early criticism.[12:42] Everything Is Rigged in Your FavorArianna describes the spiritual belief that helped her move through fear, uncertainty, and dark periods.[13:18] Moving Continents After HeartbreakArianna explains how leaving a relationship in London led to her life in America, her daughters, her career, and The Huffington Post.[14:19] Life After Selling HuffPostJames asks how Arianna's life changed after the sale, and she explains why the company still felt new because it kept evolving.[15:20] The Collapse That Changed EverythingArianna connects her 2007 collapse from exhaustion to the wellness work that eventually became The Sleep Revolution.[16:32] The Collective Delusion About SleepArianna explains why modern culture wrongly treats sleep deprivation as essential to achievement.[18:02] Perfectionism, Work, and MotherhoodJames pushes on the personal side of Arianna's burnout, and she identifies the pressure to be perfect at work and at home.[20:16] Why Sleep MattersArianna lays out the benefits of sleep across health, productivity, decision-making, creativity, and emotional life.[21:53] What the Brain Does While We SleepArianna explains why sleep is not passive downtime, but a period of active cleanup and restoration.[23:21] Sleep and ProductivityArianna argues that sacrificing sleep for work backfires because it reduces judgment, creativity, engagement, and performance.[25:08] Sleep as a Performance EnhancerJames brings up willpower and negotiation, and Arianna adds the example of athletes using sleep to improve performance.[26:49] First Understand the CrisisArianna explains why people need to change their minds about sleep before they can change their habits.[27:30] Dreams, Memory, and InsightArianna talks about dreams and recommends writing them down when you wake up.[28:32] Sleeping Pills and Better AlternativesJames asks about medication, and Arianna points to behavioral approaches and sleep preparation.[29:50] The Sleep TransitionArianna explains the importance of beginning somewhere, even with just five or ten minutes.[30:57] Escort Your Devices Out of the BedroomArianna recommends turning off phones, laptops, and tablets before bed and creating a clean boundary between day and sleep.[31:24] Bath, Books, Temperature, and GratitudeArianna describes her wind-down routine: water, dedicated sleep clothes, lower lights, a cool room, physical books, and three things she is grateful for.[33:42] The 3 A.M.

Today's Headlines: Melania Trump made a surprise White House appearance — her first in weeks or possibly months — to announce a foster care initiative, opening with "I heard you missed me, here I am," which nobody would have thought twice about if it hadn't come directly after Jon Ossoff's comment that Trump wants to "travel with Natalie." The timing really did the heavy lifting there. Walmart posted its weakest growth since 2020, the FDA upgraded its frozen berry recall to its highest risk level over e.coli contamination, sourdough bread in Seattle was recalled for metal shards, and 65,000 people in Gary, Indiana have been without power for nine days with no restoration until at least next Tuesday. In other unpleasant news, the FBI raided Eric Swalwell's home and took his phone and computer as part of an investigation into his relationship with suspected Chinese spy Christine Fang, because some people really do make it too easy. The USS Abraham Lincoln was finally relieved of its nine-month deployment and is heading back to San Diego — a direct result of its crew publicly threatening to take their own lives. The publisher of Stars and Stripes announced his retirement citing "fundamental differences" with Hegseth's Pentagon, one week after the publication broke the Abraham Lincoln story, so do what you will with that information. Meanwhile, North Korea fired ballistic missiles hours after Kim Jong Un's sister dismissed Trump's requests for a diplomatic meeting and denied they'd even been in contact, which is a remarkable response to throwing South Korea under the bus for nothing. Russia flew a naval drone into Romanian airspace, which Romanian jets destroyed, and the EU Commission president called it hybrid warfare without naming Russia, which is the diplomatic equivalent of a strongly worded letter. And Trump is fighting to build a ballroom at his golf course in the Irish village of Doonbeg, where his only obstacle is a local hermit with no phone or social media who has blocked thousands of development projects across Ireland purely for sport.

In recent episodes, we've been exploring some of the more counterintuitive things in healing and personal transformation—the things that can seem positive on the surface, yet sometimes backfire or keep people stuck. And this episode feels like divine timing because the pattern that came up is such a tricky one. So often, people desperately want to help the ones they love the most. They want them to heal. They want them to feel better. They want them to have an incredible life. And it can come from the most genuine, loving place. But what happens when the person you are trying so hard to help begins pulling away? In this short breakthrough episode, Brandy shares an important insight from working with a beautiful volunteer who genuinely wanted the very best for the people she loved. Her intentions were caring. Her heart was in the right place. And yet, without realizing it, the more she tried to help and change the people around her, the more frustration and disconnection began showing up. That is what makes this pattern so easy to miss. In this episode, you'll discover: Why loving intentions can sometimes create an unexpected response How trying to help can become emotionally triggering for both people Why someone may begin pulling away even when your intentions are completely genuine The simple perspective shift that helped Brandy's volunteer see the pattern differently How more love, connection, and understanding can begin changing the dynamic Sometimes the very thing that comes from love can create a result you never intended. And once you see what is really happening underneath, it can completely change the way you approach the people you care about.   → Continue Your Self-Healing Journey Listen to the Full Volunteer Self-Healing Session Click here to access today's self-healing session as Brandy Gillmore works directly with Tasha Free Mind-Body Healing Training If you'd like a deeper understanding of mind-body healing and how self-healing works: Click here to join the FREE training.

What if the job you almost didn't get became the foundation for building two public companies? That's exactly what happened to Babu Sivadasan, who was rejected by nine firms before landing his first job out of college, a job he still calls the best deal he ever made. Babu is a serial entrepreneur and engineer who co-founded stamps.com and later co-founded Envestnet, two category-defining platforms in commerce and wealth management technology. He's now the founder of Jiffy AI, applying artificial intelligence to how software gets created and deployed. In this episode, Babu traces a 1990s patent that became stamps.com, a demo computer damaged in his suitcase before a make-or-break Postal Service pitch, and an accidental pivot into wealth management that led to Envestnet. He also shares why he believes natural language will replace traditional programming, and how that belief now drives Jiffy AI. Whether you're weighing whether to raise capital or curious how AI is reshaping wealth management technology, this conversation offers a rare, three-decade view of how founders build through very different technology eras.

Get access to The Backroom, with 100+ exclusive episodes of 1Dime Radio, on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OneDimeThis episode is an ElevenLabs voice-over of my essay “The Culture War IS the Class War: A Theory of the Two Lefts,” the fourth and final essay in my Genealogy of Wokeism series, originally published on my Substack. The essay challenges the familiar claim that the culture war is merely a distraction from the class war. Instead, I argue that the culture war is one arena of class conflict, driven by elite overproduction and an internal division between two increasingly incompatible lefts: a class-first left committed to universal economic transformation and a woke cultural left rooted in the professional-managerial class.Using the Bernie Sanders campaigns of 2016 and 2020—including the defining confrontation at his 2015 Seattle rally—as case studies, I examine the left-unity trap, pseudo-radicalism, institutional capture, K–12 education, gender politics, and the tendency of post-woke leftists to dismiss live cultural conflicts as fringe distractions. The essay argues that a serious working-class politics cannot succeed by ignoring these conflicts or indefinitely accommodating the faction that dominates the left's institutional terrain.You can listen to 1Dime Radio on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get podcasts.Timestamps:0:00 The Culture War IS the Class War: A Theory of the Two Lefts2:12 Memory-Holing Wokeism7:44 Culture War Is Class War13:54 The Lesson of Bernie Sanders, 2016–202016:17 The Day Sanders Stood Still34:19 The Left's Civil War41:26 A Theory of the Two Lefts51:37 The Left Unity Trap53:24 The Hard Truth Most Old Leftists Don't Want to Admit56:26 How Pseudo-Radicalism Masks the Divide Between the Two Lefts1:05:37 If Wokeism Is So Fringe, Then Why Doesn't the Left Reject It?1:09:29 Wokeism as a Paper Tiger1:12:28 Why Accommodating Woke Fails1:15:39 What Is to Be Done?1:18:23 The Correct Answer to “Throwing Minorities Under the Bus”1:28:49 Nothing to See Here, Folks.

Samuel Ben-Ur discusses the ongoing conflict with Hamas in Gaza, focusing on Jared Kushner's meeting with Hamas leadership to discuss a 15-point peace plan. Ben-Ur explains that Israel rejected the plan because it lacked a verifiable mechanism for Hamas's disarmament before Israeli withdrawal. He dismisses reports of famine in Gaza as propaganda, noting that international bodies currently view aid levels as acceptable. The conversation emphasizes that Hamas remains committed to the destruction of Israel, making voluntary disarmament a "fiction," while Israeli politics remain divided over the war's prosecution.

Your opening pages have about 30 seconds to keep a literary agent reading — and most manuscripts lose that fight before the first paragraph ends.Developmental editor Joel Brigham returns to unpack exactly what makes an agent stop reading (and what makes them keep going): the four ingredients — tension, suspense, mystery, and unfairness — that hook a reader in the first few pages. He breaks down why agents almost universally reject prologues, the two-highlighter trick for catching your own info-dumps before an agent does, and where your inciting incident actually needs to land depending on your genre — it's earlier than most writers think.If you've ever gotten a same-day rejection and wondered why, or you're prepping pages for a conference critique or your next query batch, this is the fix-it guide for those first ten pages.Hit play — then check the chapter markers below to jump straight to the section you need.Send us Fan Mail Support the showVisit the WebsiteFind Full Episodes on YouTube!Writers with Wrinkles Link Tree for socials and more!

"I feel like I'm getting spots in my vision from looking this directly at the epicenter of female thinking." Brian and Alison return to the author of My Dear Stalker, who has a new article: if you approach a woman, she rejects you, and you then stop interacting with her, that's punishing her for her boundaries. She wasn't obligated to keep him around — that would be mean. He is obligated to stay, because otherwise he hates women. Also: what happens when you ask an AI why the man should stay and it can't find a reason either, the friend who resented a man for not wanting her, and a long stretch of REPO with Gabriel afterwards. "Instead of improving my craft as a novelist, I gotta go home, open up my laptop, and write a blog on my Medium shitting on men for however long it takes me."

Accessible English text online.Tatian. Address to the Greeks. Useful for Tatian's tone, worldview, and severity, even if it is not itself the main Encratite text. Modern Cambridge edition available.Acts of Thomas. Important for the wider encratite ascetic imagination and later patristic memory of the text's Encratite character.Gospel according to the Egyptians (fragments preserved in Clement, Stromata 3). Important for Salome sayings, celibacy discourse, and the wider anti-marriage textual world.Modern scholarshipGuffey, Andrew R. “Motivations for Encratite Practices in Early Christian Literature.” Journal of Theological Studies 65, no. 2 (2014): 515–549. Probably the single best focused article for your episode.

Tatian's Diatessaron: Its Creation, Dissemination, Significance, and History in Scholarship. Supplements to Vigiliae Christianae 25. Leiden: Brill, 1994. Still an important specialist study for Tatian and the Diatessaron.“The Syriac Versions.” In an Oxford Academic volume on the Syriac New Testament tradition. Useful for concise background on Tatian's Diatessaron in Syriac Christianity.“The Earliest Syriac Literature.” In The Cambridge History of Early Christian Literature. Helpful for placing Tatian inside the broader Syriac literary and ascetic world.Also want to remind people about the website, if you're into reading we have tons of information by multiple contributors, and we got t-shirts up on the site if you're interested.
