Do this before bed to calm your nervous system, support your vagus nerve, and drift into deep, healing sleep. This gentle vagus nerve reset meditation is designed to help you shift from fight-or-flight into rest-and-digest using slow breathing, soft sighs, self-compassion, and a tender full-body scan. You're invited to arrive exactly as you are—busy-minded, tired, or tender-hearted—and be reminded again and again: you are safe, you are held, you are okay as you are. In this sleep meditation you will: - Use slow, rhythmic breathing and soft sighs to send a message of safety through your whole system - Explore a somatic hug and soothing (or imagined) self-touch to gently tone the vagus nerve - Experience a warm, tender body scan with visualization, from the crown of the head all the way to sleepy toes - Ground into three points of support beneath you and feel fully held and supported - Practice kindness, acceptance, and letting go of attachment and expectations - Rest into healing affirmations such as: - I am safe to rest - My body is heard - My body's natural healing is active now - rest deeply now This practice is ideal as a bedtime meditation, sleep hypnosis style relaxation, or a nervous system reset at the end of a long day. Listen lying down or seated, let the ground meet you where you are, and allow your body to remember how to rest, repair, and heal. If your mind wanders, that's perfectly okay. Thoughts can simply float by—like leaves on a slow stream—as you are gently guided back to your breath, your body, and the steady support beneath you.

A new farming practice should earn a producer's confidence before it is trusted with an entire field. Oklahoma State University Extension specialists Brian Arnall, Ph.D., and Josh Lofton, Ph.D., explain how small-plot research becomes practical agronomic guidance for Oklahoma producers. They discuss replication, field variability, statistical confidence, and the steps researchers take before recommending changes involving nitrogen, plant population, varieties, or other crop-management decisions. They also explain why on-farm cooperators and producer-run trials are critical for testing whether research results hold up under commercial conditions. Key takeaways: Small plots help researchers isolate treatment effects by reducing differences in soil, rainfall, pests and field management. A large field demonstration may look convincing, but without replication it can be difficult to separate a treatment response from normal field variability. Results should usually be repeated across multiple years, locations, soil types and weather conditions before becoming a broad recommendation. Researchers may require greater confidence when a recommendation would significantly change established practices or put a producer's return on investment at risk. Producers can manage adoption risk by testing a new practice on a few strips or limited acres before applying it across the operation. Detailed Timestamped Rundown: 00:00–02:13 — Episode introduction and research question Dave Deken introduces the discussion of “big science on small acres” and previews how small-plot trials become real-world recommendations. Brian Arnall and Josh Lofton are introduced along with their OSU Extension roles.02:16–05:09 — Why researchers use small plots Arnall explains that an entire trial may fit within roughly a quarter acre. The smaller area allows researchers to keep treatments on similar soil and under comparable rainfall, pest pressure and environmental conditions. Small plots also make it possible to test many treatments with several replications.05:09–08:19 — Matching plot size to field variability Lofton explains that researchers must decide whether to minimize variability with smaller plots or include more variability within longer plots. Forage research may require longer plots, while detailed plant-physiology questions may be studied in one-foot-by-one-foot microplots.08:21–10:14 — Demonstrations versus replicated science Large demonstrations can show whether a practice appears workable across several acres, but they may not provide strong scientific evidence without replication. Researchers are cautious about using a producer's land for an idea that may reduce yield or profitability.10:14–13:26 — Testing across years and environments A practice that works repeatedly near Stillwater may respond differently in western Oklahoma's sandy soils or the wetter, heavier soils of northeastern Oklahoma. Researchers distinguish between an observation, a tentative practice to try and a formal recommendation.13:26–16:19 — Blocking, variety trials and experimental tradeoffs Lofton describes how treatments are grouped into blocks so each treatment experiences a comparable environment. Trials containing too many varieties can stretch across changing soils and conditions, so researchers may divide varieties into separate maturity groups.16:19–19:15 — Statistical error and recommendation risk The group discusses the possibility of concluding that a treatment works when it does not, or concluding that it does not work when it actually does. Arnall emphasizes the risk of recommending a product or practice that fails to produce a dependable return.19:15–22:10 — Why confidence standards can change Lofton and Arnall discuss the difference between 90% and 95% confidence. The appropriate threshold depends on the research question, the quality of the field conditions and the consequences of being wrong. Major changes to accepted practices demand stronger evidence.22:10–24:22 — Evidence behind major management changes The speakers compare agricultural risk with the much higher certainty required in medicine and engineering. Arnall says he had approximately six years of data before becoming highly vocal about delaying some nitrogen applications.24:22–26:54 — Challenging assumptions and explaining mechanisms Researchers do not rely on statistics alone. They ask whether a result makes biological and agronomic sense, discuss it with colleagues and collect additional plant or soil measurements to explain why it occurred.26:54–29:44 — Scientific disagreement strengthens recommendations Arnall and Lofton explain that members of the research team frequently disagree about mechanisms and interpretations. Those arguments continue until the data support a consistent OSU recommendation. Repeating work with different students or projects can provide additional confirmation.29:46–32:10 — Moving research into producer fields The discussion returns to the progression from controlled plots to practical use. Some practices move into formal demonstrations, while others are tested through a few producer-applied passes or strips. Starting with a limited area gives producers a way to evaluate an unfamiliar practice without risking the whole operation.32:10–34:31 — Why farmer-hosted small plots matter Arnall emphasizes that many small plots are located on commercial farms rather than research stations. These sites provide different soils, management histories and production environments, although the plots can create extra work for the cooperating producer.34:31–35:30 — Helping producers become experimenters Lofton describes producers who begin with one research project and then start conducting their own field demonstrations. County Extension educators can help producers establish useful comparisons and interpret the results.35:30–37:20 — Building a statewide cooperator network Arnall discusses working with different groups of cooperators over time and matching projects with farms that provide the appropriate crop, soil, management system and region. This network improves the relevance of OSU agronomy research.37:20–38:22 — Closing thoughts The episode concludes with appreciation for producer cooperators and an invitation for listeners to visit Red Dirt Agronomy, submit questions and learn more about the research discussed on the program.

Every new technology seems to arrive with a wild promise that it will “change everything,” and AI is no exception. Dan Sullivan and Jeffrey Madoff explore how technological breakthroughs really create growth; why consumers, not inventors, capture most of the value; and how entrepreneurs can use AI as a practical multiplier instead of a magical fix. Show Notes: There have been about 10 major technological breakthroughs in the last 200 years, and each one arrived with big promises and bold predictions. When it's predicted that something's going to “change everything,” it usually changes only some things, in powerful but often unpredictable ways. The people who profit most from new technologies are usually consumers, not the inventors or platforms. Most consumers use new capabilities to improve what they're already committed to rather than reinventing their entire business or life. When most people start using a new technology, they tap into only part of what it can do, which leaves room for entrepreneurs to use it more strategically. Founders who bet everything on a new creation often push more extreme marketing claims that don't necessarily match what real customers want. Any new technology creates new kinds of problems, especially as you expand your number of locations, platforms, and touchpoints. It's not a bad thing when something gets replaced by something new; that's simply an evolving marketplace and shifting opportunity. Resources: The 4 Freedoms That Motivate Successful Entrepreneurs Casting Not Hiring by Dan Sullivan and Jeffrey Madoff Learn more about Jeffrey Madoff Dan Sullivan and Strategic Coach®

Andrea Samadi shares a five-year self-experiment using a WHOOP wearable to track sleep, recovery, movement, and biological age. She reveals how daily low-intensity movement and consistent recovery—not one intense workout—produced lasting improvements in heart rate, recovery scores, and biological age. Andrea distills five lessons: movement prepares the brain, consistency beats intensity, recovery is where adaptation happens, small habits compound over time, and every step is an investment in your future brain. Practical takeaways include walking daily, adding 2–3 strength sessions per week, protecting sleep, and tracking trends instead of perfection. In this Bonus Episode you'll learn: Why recovery matters more than you think. What 1,905 recoveries taught me about human performance. Why consistency beats intensity. How movement changes the brain. How to create lasting biological adaptation. Why every walk is an investment in your future brain. EPISODE BONUS Move Today. Recover Tonight. Younger Tomorrow. Five Years. 1,905 Recoveries. One Lesson That Changed Everything. Welcome Back Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. I'm Andrea Samadi. Over the past seven years, I've had the privilege of interviewing many of the world's leading experts in neuroscience, psychology, learning, leadership, health, and human performance. Throughout Season 16, we've been connecting those conversations into a simple framework I call The Brain's Operating System for Human Performance—a practical way of understanding how the brain and body work together to help us learn better, think more clearly, live healthier, and perform at our highest potential. In Episode 402[i], we introduced The Movement Loop, built around one simple idea: Movement is the input. Adaptation is the process. Performance is the outcome. Then, in Episode 403[ii], Dr. Chuck Hillman helped us understand why movement changes the brain. Every step increases blood flow. Exercise stimulates Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor—BDNF—often called fertilizer for the brain. Movement strengthens the neural networks responsible for learning, memory, attention, and executive function. But after recording those episodes, I found myself asking a different question. What happens when we apply those principles consistently—not for days, weeks, or even months—but for years? Today's bonus episode is my attempt to answer that question. Not from another research study. Not from another interview. And definitely not to give you one more thing to add to your already busy schedule. Instead... I'd like to share a five-year experiment I never realized I was conducting—one that completely changed the way I think about health, movement, recovery, and human performance. Five Years Looking for the Answer When I started wearing a WHOOP device back in April of 2021, just before my fiftieth birthday, I thought I was buying a fitness tracker. I thought it would help me train harder. I thought it would reward intensity. Instead... It spent the next five years teaching me something far more valuable. How to recover. Over those five years I've tracked nearly everything I could measure. Sleep. Movement. Recovery. Resting heart rate. Heart rate variability. VO₂ Max. Biological age. Blood work. Thousands of workouts. And more than 1,905 recoveries. Nearly two thousand mornings of waking up and asking my body the same question. How well did I recover? At first, I didn't really know what I was looking for. I simply assumed the harder I trained... the healthier I'd become. The Mystery Then WHOOP introduced a new metric. WHOOP Age. The first time I looked at it, I honestly couldn't believe what I was seeing. My biological age measured 48.7 years old. I was fifty-five. More than six years younger biologically than chronologically. Of course, my first question wasn't, "That's great." My first question was... Why? What was I doing that created this result? Naturally, I assumed it was my hardest hikes. My toughest strength workouts. The mornings I pushed myself until I was completely exhausted. But that's not what the data showed. Not even close. The biggest contributor wasn't intensity. It was consistency. Daily walks. Steady hikes. Hours spent moving in Heart Rate Zones 1 through 3. The very workouts I used to think "didn't count." Ironically, even today, after finishing a workout, I still catch myself hoping to see more time in Zone 4 or Zone 5. Old beliefs don't disappear overnight. Part of me still believes harder must be better. But five years of data kept telling me a different story. A Belief I Had to Unlearn For most of my life, I believed exercise was supposed to leave me exhausted. If I wasn't completely out of breath... If I wasn't drenched in sweat... If I wasn't barely able to walk back to my car... I assumed I hadn't worked hard enough. Maybe you've felt that way too. We grew up hearing... "No pain, no gain." But neuroscience—and my own data—kept challenging that belief. The movement that felt the easiest... was quietly producing the greatest return. Daily walks. Easy hikes with friends. Walking my dogs along the canal. Consistent aerobic movement. Those weren't "easy days." Those were adaptation days. And slowly, my definition of success began to change. The Moment Everything Changed A few days ago something happened. After nearly five years... and more than 1,905 recoveries... I recorded my highest recovery ever. 98%. For a few moments I celebrated the score. Then something much more meaningful hit me. That number wasn't created overnight. It wasn't the result of one perfect night's sleep. Or one incredible workout. Or one supplement. Or one recovery tool. It represented five years of learning to work with my biology instead of against it. That's when everything finally clicked. Recovery isn't passive. Recovery is where adaptation happens. It's where muscles rebuild. It's where the brain consolidates learning. It's where the nervous system recalibrates. It's where hormones rebalance. It's where your cardiovascular system grows stronger. It's where yesterday's movement becomes tomorrow's performance. Movement starts the conversation. Recovery is where your body answers.   The Missing Piece That's when I realized something I wish someone had explained to me years ago. Movement isn't the goal. Recovery isn't even the goal. Adaptation is the goal. Movement is simply the signal that tells your biology... "Build something stronger." Recovery is when your body actually does the work. Adaptation is the result. Performance becomes the evidence. That is The Movement Loop. Move. Recover. Adapt. Perform. One connected system.   What My Data Shows When I stopped looking at individual workouts and started looking at years of trends, the story became remarkably clear. My resting heart rate dropped. My recovery improved. My biological age became younger. My weekly movement consistently averaged more than seven hours in Heart Rate Zones 1 through 3. None of those changes happened because of one extraordinary workout. They happened because of thousands of ordinary choices repeated over and over again. That's how biology changes. Quietly. Consistently. Patiently. Five Lessons Five Years and 1,905 Recoveries Taught Me Looking back over nearly five years—and more than 1,905 recoveries—I realize I wasn't simply collecting health data. I was watching my brain and body adapt in real time. Here are the five lessons I wish I had understood when I first started this journey. Lesson 1: Movement prepares the brain. One of the biggest insights from Dr. Chuck Hillman's research is that movement doesn't just strengthen our muscles—it prepares our brains to learn and perform. Every walk increases blood flow. Every hike stimulates Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, or BDNF, helping the brain build and strengthen neural connections. I've noticed this in my own life. On the days I move first, I think more clearly, focus longer, solve problems more easily, and simply show up as a better version of myself. Movement isn't something I do after work anymore. It's how I prepare for my work. Lesson 2: Consistency beats intensity. For years, I believed the hardest workout was the best workout. My data taught me something completely different. The biggest improvements in my health didn't come from one exhausting hike or one intense strength session. They came from showing up every single day. Walking the canal. Taking the dogs out. Choosing another easy hike. Stopping to talk with people on the trails. It took me years to ask one person their name, after seeing them on the trails for over 10 years! Repeating those small decisions (and actions) over and over again. The body doesn't transform because we occasionally do something extraordinary. It transforms because we consistently do the ordinary. Lesson 3: Recovery is where adaptation happens. This may have been the biggest surprise of all. For years, I thought recovery meant taking a break from making progress. Now I understand that recovery is the progress. Recovery is where muscles rebuild. It's where the brain consolidates learning. It's where the nervous system recalibrates. It's where your body responds to the signal that movement created. Without recovery, movement is simply stress. With recovery, movement becomes adaptation. Lesson 4: Small daily habits create extraordinary results. When I recorded my highest recovery ever—98%—(just this week) I realized something important. That number wasn't created by one perfect night of sleep. It wasn't one workout. It wasn't one supplement. It wasn't one infrared sauna session. It represented thousands of small decisions repeated consistently over five years. Morning sunlight. Walking. Strength training. Prioritizing sleep. Breathwork. Meditation. Recovery. None of those habits seem remarkable on their own. Together, they completely changed my biology. And then I was able to create PREDICTABLE results with recovery, once I fully understood it. Lesson 5: Every step is an investment in your future brain. This may be the most important lesson of all. Most of us exercise because we want to look better or feel better today. But neuroscience tells us something even more powerful. Every walk you're taking today is helping build the brain you'll rely on years from now. Every time you move, you're strengthening the systems that support attention, memory, emotional regulation, cardiovascular health, and resilience. You may not notice those changes tomorrow. I certainly didn't. It took me nearly five years—and 1,905 recoveries—to truly appreciate what my body had been quietly building all along. That's why I no longer think of movement as exercise. I think of it as one of the greatest investments I can make in my future health, my future brain, and the quality of my life. Because every step you take today is a vote for the person you're becoming tomorrow.   Practical Application If you're wondering where to start... Start walking. Walk before work. Walk after dinner. Walk with your family. Walk with your dog. Strength train two or three times each week. It doesn't take a lot to see noticeable gains. Protect your sleep. Track trends instead of chasing perfection. Then tomorrow morning ask yourself one simple question. Not... "How hard should I train today?" Instead... How can I move today? One question. One decision. Repeated consistently. That's how change begins. Review and Conclusion As we wrap up this bonus episode, let's step back and look at what we've learned throughout this first part of Phase 3. Movement prepares the brain. Recovery builds the body. Adaptation changes our biology. Performance becomes the evidence. Five years ago, I thought movement was the goal. Today I know better. Movement is the signal. Recovery is the builder. Adaptation is the transformation (that we can see) Performance is the evidence (or what we were aiming for in the first place). After nearly 1,905 recoveries, I finally understand why recovery matters. Not because it helps us rest. Because it helps us become. Looking back, I wasn't simply collecting health data. I was watching neuroscience unfold in real time. The greatest improvements in my health didn't come from my hardest workouts. They came from thousands of ordinary decisions repeated consistently over time. We can go back to our early episodes[iii] to hear the importance of repetition. That's how human performance is built. Not through one breakthrough moment. But through daily choices that quietly reshape the brain, strengthen the body, and prepare us for whatever comes next. So wherever you're listening today... Whether you're heading out for a walk... Driving home from work... Finishing a workout... Or simply deciding how you'll move tomorrow... Remember this. Every step is a vote for your future self.

Have you ever noticed that you can understand exactly why you do something, know where the pattern came from, and still find yourself repeating it?    If you've spent years doing the inner work, reading the books, listening to the podcasts, and becoming more self-aware, yet still feel frustrated by recurring patterns in your relationships, habits, mindset, or behavior, this conversation is for you.    In this powerful episode, Tiffany sits down with Dr. Nicole LaPera, better known as The Holistic Psychologist, to explore one of the biggest misconceptions in healing and personal growth: the belief that awareness alone creates transformation.    Together, they dive into inner child healing, reparenting yourself, self-sabotage myths, behavior change, childhood conditioning, and why so many people remain stuck in familiar patterns despite years of self-development work. Dr. LaPera also shares practical insights on how to create lasting change, build new habits, and move from understanding your patterns to actually transforming them.    RESOURCES MENTIONED:    Your Quantum Walk Series + Fire Horse Identity Journal HERE my Gift to you!    Join us insideThe ProjectME Posse, we're diving into my brand-new Gift of Gab series, where I teach my proven communication and conversion strategies step by step >> JOIN HERE    CONNECT WITH TIFF:  Tiffany on Instagram @projectme_with_tiffany   Tiffany on TikTok @projectme_with_tiffany  Tiffany on YouTube: ProjectME TV  Tiffany's FREE Abundance Email Community: JOIN HERE > The Secret Posse Digest    CONNECT WITH Dr. Nicole LaPera:  Buy her new book here: Reparenting the Inner Child Learn more about SelfHealers Circle: https://selfhealerscircle.com/ Instagram: @the.holisitc.psychologist

Tamra Judge is like a dog with a bone who cannot let go of the fact that Andy Cohen called her a liar regarding Shannon's alleged meltdown at The Quiet Woman. Yes, Miss Judge is still talk about this so much so that she has released private texts to Andy on the matter. Speaking of someone who cannot let things go, Margaret Josephs keeps repeat herself on a lot of RHONJ topics most of which people are probably over. Rumors, not nastiness, surface that Paige DeSorbo is engaged.

Why do we keep repeating the same painful patterns… even when we know better? In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Wendy sits down with somatic practitioner and author Lauren Duke to unpack the truth behind repetition compulsion, the unconscious pull that keeps us stuck in familiar cycles of pain, conflict, and disconnection. Lauren shares the extraordinary story of walking across Spain on the Camino de Santiago with her family, a bold, healing journey that helped her finally interrupt lifelong patterns of avoidance, reactivity, and emotional pain. Together, they explore how our nervous systems are wired to repeat what hasn't been resolved, how awareness creates the opportunity for change, and why real healing often begins when we're willing to look in the mirror and take responsibility for our part. This episode will challenge you, empower you, and remind you that even the deepest family wounds can be transformed. ➡️ Head to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.freshstartfamilyonline.com/332 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more info and links.⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

There are struggles in life that don't seem to make sense. You keep repeating the same relationship patterns. You attract similar experiences. You wonder why certain fears, behaviors, or emotional reactions feel so much bigger than the situation itself. And sometimes... the answers didn't begin with you.On this episode, we welcome back Monika Wyss — Family Constellation trainer, clinical hypnotherapist, and founder of Heart Sanctuary Kuala Lumpur. Through family constellation, inner child healing, and trauma-informed practices, Monika helps people uncover the emotional wounds, family dynamics, and generational patterns that quietly shape how they love, relate, succeed, and move through life.Together, we explore how childhood experiences become adult patterns, why unresolved family trauma can continue across generations, and how Family Constellation helps reveal hidden loyalties and unconscious stories that may still be influencing your relationships, health, finances, and sense of self today.

This week, Angela discusses the real 80/20 rule, contrasting the commonly misapplied Pareto principle with two practical 80/20 rules for living life on purpose. She introduces a list of 80/20 rules for areas like health, wealth, and relationships, and then presents a second rule about goal achievement through iterative progress. The episode emphasizes that success comes from persistence and progress, not perfection. Key Takeaways

We've learned to build bit by bit. I thought if I loved you enough everything was going to be ok. Until you realize how much God loves you as a person you aren't truly free to love another person.

Dinner meal planner (only $27 until July 31, then price goes up to $47!): https://www.thestrongerco.com/dinner-meal-planner/?coupon_code=NEW Does deciding what's for dinner feel more exhausting than actually making it? You're not alone. For many moms, dinner isn't hard because cooking is difficult. It's hard because by the end of the day, your brain has already made hundreds of decisions. Adding one more—What are we eating tonight?—can feel like the straw that breaks the camel's back. In this episode, Shaela shares why meal planning isn't just about recipes—it's about reducing decision fatigue so you can spend less time thinking about food and more time enjoying your family. She also shares the story behind creating her Dinner Meal Planner, a tool she built while recovering from breast cancer treatment to make healthy family dinners feel simpler, calmer, and far less emotionally draining. Whether you're trying to feed picky eaters, plan high-protein meals, cook gluten-free or dairy-free, or simply stop staring into your freezer wondering what to make, this episode will help you build a meal planning rhythm that actually fits real life. In this episode you'll learn: Why dinner feels mentally exhausting for busy moms How decision fatigue affects healthy eating and meal planning Two simple meal planning styles—and how to know which one fits your brain Why repeating meals can actually make your family healthier and calmer How to create a realistic dinner rhythm that reduces stress The simple meal planning tool Shaela uses to save time every week You'll also hear why your family doesn't need exciting dinners every night—they just need meals that nourish them and fit your season of life. Healthy eating shouldn't require you to think about food all day. Sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is remove one more decision from your plate. Resources Mentioned Dinner Meal Planner Plan dinners in minutes using the meats you already have, customize for gluten-free, dairy-free, high-protein meals, save your favorite recipes, and build a simple family dinner rhythm. Lifetime access for just $27 ($20 off because it's new!): https://www.thestrongerco.com/dinner-meal-planner/?coupon_code=NEW Free Christian Fitness Hub: hub.simplefitnesshabits.com Simple workouts, healthy habits, nutrition resources, and practical tools for busy Christian moms. The Stronger Collective: www.thestrongerco.com/membership Inside TSC you'll find workout programs, nutrition resources, the Dinner Meal Planner, private coaching, and practical tools to help you build simple health rhythms that fit real life. Key Takeaways Dinner feels heavy because it's really dozens of decisions wrapped into one. The best meal planning system is the one you'll actually use consistently. Repeating meals creates rhythms—not boredom. Reducing decision fatigue gives you more energy for what matters most. Healthy family meals don't have to be fancy to be nourishing.

In this episode, Prof Chapman is joined by fertility nurse Natalie to answer one of the most common questions from listeners: what should you do when you’re in your 40s and cycle after cycle isn’t working? Natalie explains why going back to basics matters — reviewing your initial workup, checking whether tests like AMH and antral follicle counts need repeating, and looking at inflammatory markers that may be overlooked. She walks through what a thorough second opinion involves, from treatment protocols and medication dosages to egg numbers, insemination methods and blastocyst outcomes, and why genetic testing (PGT-A) is often never discussed despite being valuable. If you’re wondering whether to push on or pause and reassess, this episode is for you.

With hyperscalers like Meta, Google, Amazon and SpaceXAI burning through cash, we decided to answer the question underneath all of it: what is this money actually buying? In this episode we start high level with a primer on the AI ecosystem or what Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang calls the "five-layer cake" of AI — energy, chips, infrastructure, models, applications. We get into the vocabulary everyone uses and nobody defines: what a hyperscaler actually is, how it differs from a frontier model company like OpenAI or Anthropic, why Oracle only plays in one layer while Google plays in all five, and what a NeoCloud like CoreWeave is really doing when it borrows against its own chips. Then we get into the grid — all three of them — including how power prices get set, the difference between regulated and deregulated states, why Meta's $200 billion Project Hyperion campus in Louisiana needs enough electricity to power half of Manhattan in the summer, and why the new rule for data centers is essentially "bring your own electrons." We also dig into the tax incentives driving the timing of all this spend, and why states are competing so ferociously for projects that employ almost no one once the construction crews go home. Then we bring on an extra special guest: power expert. Ron Kelly, who spent 50 years in power and energy — as an engineer, at Calpine, and developing natural gas-fired power plants and solar plants all over the United States the country. He also happens to be Kristen's dad. His take is bracing: he's seen this movie before. Between 1995 and 2005, roughly 300 gigawatts of power projects were announced on the promise of the internet. 168 got built, 130 were canceled, the rest died, and Enron, Mirant, NRG, and Calpine all ended up in Chapter 11. Today's data center pipeline is about the same 300 gigawatts. Ron explains risks that could complicate the build out necessary to get all the needed power infrastructure online: the interconnection studies, transformer backlogs — plus what he really thinks about the security of the largest machine humans have ever built.

Sylvan Lake Town Councillor Teej Johannesson is back on the show after facing a wave of online attacks following his last appearance.This time, Teej addresses the mistaken identity controversy, the accusations being made against him and the tactics used to pressure people into silence.Bullying someone does not make you right.

Repeating damaging claims online does not make them true.I offered Teej my platform so he could respond directly, clear the air and tell his side of the story without being shouted down.You do not have to agree with him, but you should hear what he has to say before making up your mind.Listen to the full conversation and decide for yourself.

Joining me today are Dave and Ann Wilson who have written a brand new book about what it looks like to speak life into our marriages; not just with the words we say, but also in the thoughts we choose to dwell on. We'll talk about why trying to be your spouse's Holy Spirit never works, why kindness is actually one of the most rebellious things we can do in today's world, and how reframing our inner dialogue can change the way we manage conflict. Whether you've been shouting to be heard, or quietly holding back the pain of unspoken expectations, today's conversation will offer biblical wisdom, practical tools, and fresh hope for building a marriage that reflects Christ's love. We pray this episode encourages you! Episode Highlights: How you approach the conversation matters.  Hope and joy can only be in the Lord. Your words have the power to build up or tear down your spouse. Gratitude for your spouse can change your perspective of your spouse.   Quotes from Today's Episode: "Men go where they're affirmed. They go there." - Dave Wilson "I realize like when I'm in the Word, I look at things different. I look at the world different. I look at Dave different. And it started, God's Word started to change me." - Ann Wilson But there's something that's really holy about seeing greatness in a person and being able to communicate it in some way." - Ann Wilson "I had put all my hopes and dreams in Dave. I'd taken them off of Jesus and I was like, you could make me happy. And it's easy to get into that rut of like, if you would just do X, Y, Z, I could be more content." - Ann Wilson God's given us to each other to sharpen one another- Dave Wilson Speak life to your husband. Bring him back to be the man God created him to be.  We can help shape how our husbands and how our kids feel about themselves, but we have to first connect with Jesus. - Ann Wilson What good does it do to only think of the negative? When I'm in the Word, I see the world different. I see Dave different. You can't say everything you feel! Couples' Conversation Guide: How do we typically approach hard conversations with each other—and what could we do to make those moments feel safer and more affirming? Have we unintentionally placed our hope or happiness in each other instead of in God? What would it look like to shift that back to Jesus as our source of joy? What is one thing I genuinely admire or am grateful for in you that I may not say often enough? How can we be more intentional about calling out the good in each other?   Mentioned in this Episode: Find Dave and Ann Wilson on IG.

You ask your teenager to put down the phone, start their homework, walk the dog, or get ready to leave.They do not respond.You ask again.And again.Before long, you are yelling, your teen is defensive, and a basic request has become a full argument.When teenagers appear to ignore their parents, the answer is not usually a longer explanation or a louder voice.Your teen may not have shifted their attention toward you. They may be struggling to transition away from what they are doing. They may disagree with the request—or they may have learned that they do not need to respond until you have asked several times.In this episode, Tess explains how parents can interrupt this pattern without becoming passive or controlling.You will learn:Why your teen may not respond the first timeHow repeated reminders accidentally become part of the problemHow to get your teenager's attention before giving a directionFive practical scripts for common parent-teen conflictsHow to validate feelings without changing the boundaryWhat calm follow-through looks likeWhen withdrawal or unresponsiveness may indicate a larger concernThe five scripts“Pause for a second. I need your attention.”“I'm not going to keep repeating this. I'll come back in five minutes.”“You don't have to like this, but I do need you to follow through.”“I'm going to stay calm, and we're still going to handle this.”“We can talk about the feeling, but the expectation still stands.”Follow or subscribe to the Single Parenting Reset Podcast for practical parenting support for the tween and teen years.Join the family through the link below for parenting tools, updates, and upcoming resources.For individualized support with communication problems, screen battles, family conflict, or challenging teen behavior, schedule a Parent Reset Strategy Session.⭐Got screen time problems at home?

Quick question—how much time do you really spend working ON your business (not just IN it, arranging flowers, answering emails, running errands, etc.)? Be honest! If you're like most florists, there's a good chance you look up and it's a new month, but you're stuck with the same old problems: Money stress. Overbooking. Saying yes when you want to scream no. Chaotic processes that make you want to facepalm.Let's be real: It's easy to get stuck in the hustle, reliving the same frustrating moments on a loop. Total “Truman Show” vibes, right? 02:00Here's the game-changer—have you tried a CEO Day? No, you don't need to book a fancy hotel or a spa day (unless you want to, then yes, please!). Just a solid 2-3 hours where you take a step back, get brutally honest, and look under the hood of your business. Ask yourself:What worked? What flopped?What drained me? What filled my cup?Where am I underpricing or overbooking?What's making me want to pull my hair out… and how can I FIX IT for good? 04:04This is your time to lead instead of react. Look at your revenue, leads, closing rate, and what content actually works. Pick one broken process and fix it. Set just ONE to THREE priorities for the month instead of letting the chaos rule. 06:06 This kind of clarity brings a peace you might not have felt in ages, and best of all—it actually helps you break out of the cycle of “next month will magically be better.” Spoiler: Not without some intention behind it! 07:42In the Floral CEO Mastermind this month, we're digging into all things CEO day—systems, habits, AND what actually moves the business forward, so you're not stuck in “employee” mode 24/7. Swing by floralceo.com/mastermind if you're curious or ready for a real shift!Here's to fresh starts and real leadership (even if it's just two hours at your kitchen table in fuzzy slippers). You've got this!

Most breakups have one thing in common, and it's never who you think it is. You can point to the fight, the distance, the way things quietly went cold. But the real story starts years earlier, in the exact moment you stopped noticing the shift. Gary John Bishop, author of Love Unf*cked: Getting Your Relationship Sh!t Together, has spent decades studying why people stay stuck in relationships long after they know something is wrong. He built a career teaching people how to spot the moment they started tolerating what should have ended. This conversation gets personal fast. Bishop opens up about the 28 years he went without telling his mother he loved her, the phone call that broke him open, and the identity he had to dismantle before he could fully love his own wife. You will hear why competitiveness can quietly wreck intimacy, why blame is the anchor that keeps you stuck in the past, and why the story you tell about what happened to you matters more than what actually happened. By the end, you'll see why the real work is getting "complete" with your first twenty years. And why the best lovers are the ones who stopped looking for someone else to fix them.

"Anybody doing something in life is guaranteed to get punched in the face. So I ask you: How solid is your foundation?" "Not only is life going to happen for you, but you can sit there on your foundation and be like, 'Okay, I know this is coming to protect, promote, or perfect me.' You can move forward looking for the light, the love, and the lesson." "What you've done, John, is you've taken life happening to you, to life happening for you, to now happening through you by making an impact for others and bringing stories and testimony to life here on your podcast. I'm sure this is just one fruit that has been produced from your divorce." "Adversity is necessary to build character. It's character transformation."

"It's not the hand you're dealt; it's how you play the hand you're dealt." "Christ says the righteous man will fall seven times. You can't fall seven times if you're not getting back up." "Nothing connects more spiritually with another human than the authenticity of a pure soul." "Forgiveness isn't allowing them access." "You have to unbecome to become, and a lot of us need to unbecome to become."

In this week's episode, Dr. Kim and Mrs. Nancy unpack the powerful topic of expectations—focusing on how to clearly express what you need from your spouse. With honest conversation, a willingness to listen, and an open heart, you can transform how you communicate and connect in your relationship. Quotes from this episode: "I just thought you knew. And when you didn't I would go along and get resentful" "We were trying to fit each other in the mold."  "Our first big argument scared the heck out of me. My unrealistic expectation was that we would never fight."  "It's a good idea to have a signal or cue so that you make your spouse aware."  Questions for Reflection: What are some expectations—spoken or unspoken—that we each bring into our marriage, and how well do we feel they've been understood by each other? When was a time we misunderstood one another because expectations weren't clearly communicated? What can we learn from that moment? How can we create more space in our relationship for honest, judgment-free conversations about what we each need or hope for? What's one expectation we can both express more clearly this week—and how can we support each other in meeting it with love and grace?   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:   Find Dr. Kim on Instagram If expectations feel like too big of a topic to tackle alone- try out Dr. Kim's Marriage Expectations Worksheet.

Send us Fan MailWhat if the reason you keep repeating the same emotional patterns isn't because you're broken—but because your nervous system is still protecting you from a past it believes is happening now?In this episode, I sit down with biochemist, psychotherapist, and creator of Healing From the Body Level Up, Dr. Judith Swack, to explore why insight alone rarely creates lasting change—and how true healing begins when we work with the body, the unconscious mind, and the nervous system together.We dive into the science behind EFT tapping and energy psychology, unpacking how stimulating specific meridian points may help calm the stress response, restore balance, and shift the body out of fight-or-flight. Dr. Swack explains the connection between nerve endings, endorphins, homeostasis, and why emotional trauma often continues to live in the body long after the event has passed.You'll also learn practical techniques you can begin using immediately, including an effective self-hug alternating bicep tapping exercise, breathwork, meditation, and movement practices designed to regulate the nervous system and release stored stress.The conversation then expands into a deeper exploration of healing and alignment. Dr. Swack introduces her four-level model of human experience—the conscious mind, unconscious mind, body, and soul—and explains how misalignment across these levels can contribute to anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, addiction, insomnia, and the feeling of being outwardly successful while inwardly unfulfilled.Through compelling client stories and decades of clinical experience, she offers a grounded, science-informed perspective on trauma, PTSD, emotional healing, and what it truly means to live in alignment with your deepest purpose.Whether you're navigating unresolved trauma, chronic stress, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, this conversation offers practical tools, fresh perspectives, and genuine hope for lasting transformation.If this episode resonates with you, please subscribe, share it with someone who may benefit, and leave a review to help support future conversations.Support the showThank you for listening

We explain that our mind is already repeating messages all day, and that many of those messages increase tension in the body.We discuss why affirmations are not meant to deny reality or force overly positive statements. Instead, we use them to gently shift attention toward thoughts that the nervous system can actually स्वीकार or tolerate, because repeated attention can shape perception and the body's response.We focus on starting with believable phrases that feel possible rather than overwhelming. Examples include taking things one moment at a time, being with a feeling and still breathing, or learning to slow down. We describe these as bridge thoughts that soften internal pressure instead of creating more resistance.We also talk about practicing this in daily life without treating it like another task. The aim is to notice urgency when it shows up, introduce steadier thoughts, and create a little more space between reactions. We close with a set of gentle affirmations and encourage noticing how they feel in the body.#anxiety, #mindfulness, #affirmations, #podcast, #mentalhealth, #calm, #selfcare, #personalgrowth, #stressrelief, #relaxation, #healing, #meditation, #peace, #wellness, #mentalwellness, #innerpeace, #anxietyrelief, #selflove, #gentleliving, #slowdown, #mindfulliving, #nervoussystem, #timepressure, #urgency, #breath, #practices, #support, #coaching, #aloha, #jackkornfield, #anxietycoachespodcast, #ginaryan, #bridgethoughts, #safetypatterns, #nervoussystemregulation, #stoprushing, #presentmoment, #summercalm, #mentalspace, #overcomingurgency #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We continue our conversation with documentary filmmaker Julia Steers about her reporting on the conflict in Sudan.

In this episode, Dr. Kim sits down with Ron Deal to talk about what it really means to build a mindful marriage. Ron shares lessons from his new book, Mindful Marriage, and how restoration therapy helped him and his wife Nan find healing and deeper connection. Together, they explore how faith, self-awareness, and emotional regulation can transform your relationship from the inside out.   Episode Insights: Authenticity is the foundation of lasting happiness. Emotional dysregulation is normal.  Our brains respond to threat, not fairness. Pain cycles drive repeated conflict. Growth and redemption matter more than blame. Quotes from Today's Episode: 'Happy wife, happy life' sounds catchy, but in reality, it's an empty promise. Lasting happiness in marriage comes from authenticity, not performance or pretending everything is okay. Every single one of us gets thrown off-balance emotionally. Some stay there longer, others move through it quickly, but emotional dysregulation is part of the human experience. There's nothing wrong about you because you get dysregulated. The brain can't tell the difference between a rattlesnake, a near-miss in traffic, or your spouse's criticism. Threat is threat. Our brains are wired for survival, not perfect communication. You don't have fifty different fights in marriage. You just have one ongoing pain cycle. Once you identify and understand your pain cycle, you can finally move beyond it together. Ignoring your pain doesn't make it go away—if anything, it makes your pain stronger, more insistent, and harder to escape. It's easy to point out the flaw in someone else, but it's vital to focus on your own growth. You may not forget your pain, but you can redeem what it does in your life. Choosing redemption over resentment is liberating. Couples Conversation Guide: Are there areas in our marriage where we tend to "perform" or pretend things are okay instead of being real with each other?  When conflict or hurt arises between you, how aware are you of what's really going on beneath the surface—your emotions, triggers, or past experiences? What's one practical step you can take this week to be more mindful in your marriage—whether that's pausing before reacting, praying together, or choosing to listen with empathy?

Discovering your signature style doesn't mean limiting your creativity. It means giving your art a stronger foundation to grow. If you've ever wondered whether your work feels connected enough or worried that developing a recognizable style means painting the same subject forever, you're not alone. Every artist evolves, and your collections can evolve with you. What creates lasting connection with collectors isn't repetition but the deeper thread that runs through your work. I'll help you recognize the artistic DNA that's already present so you can create with greater confidence, communicate your vision more clearly, and build a body of work that feels authentic to who you are.

Repeating History

Crypto history is repeating itself, and this could be the biggest altcoin opportunity of the cycle. Today, we break down the crypto market, Bitcoin, altcoin patterns, and the crypto news shaping the next major move—don't miss the playbook that could define this bull run.

We all have patterns we can see clearly…and still can't seem to stop. Dr. Rick and Forrest explore how avoidance fuels these patterns, and how we can break the avoidance loop by updating our expectations and predictions about the future. They discuss what avoidance coping is, how the brain works as a prediction machine, why that means insight alone usually isn't enough to break a pattern, and what the current science of exposure and expectancy violation says about how change actually happens.  This is the first of two episodes dedicated to this topic, the second will focus on how to brave our feared experiences and go from insight to action.

Ramit Sethi of I Will Teach You To Be Rich talks to Alexis, 29, and Edwens, 30, a married couple with a 10-month-old baby and two completely different ideas of what money should look like in a marriage. Edwens immigrated from the Dominican Republic less than two years ago, and personal finance is still new to him. Alexis has been trying to teach him, manage the bills, build the budget, and create a future for their family. And yet, their biggest fight keeps coming back to one question: Why won't Edwens open a joint bank account? But the account is only part of the story. What Ramit uncovers is a marriage where Alexis wants partnership, transparency, and a shared family system, while Edwens is still holding on to independence, privacy, and the idea that giving her $1,000 a month should be enough. Alexis feels like she has become the household manager, the bill payer, and eventually more like his mother than his wife. Edwens feels criticized and controlled, especially around credit cards and spending. Underneath all of it are cultural differences, childhood money patterns, and a couple with a baby who are still trying to turn two separate money lives into one shared future. In this episode we uncover: Why a joint bank account becomes the breaking point in their marriage What Alexis means when she says Edwens still acts like a single man Why Edwens sees separate money as independence, not betrayal The $1,000 arrangement that leaves Alexis managing everything alone How cultural differences shape their money rules Why Edwens struggles to understand credit cards and debt The moment Ramit almost ends the session Why Alexis feels like she has become Edwens's mother, not his wife How childhood money patterns are showing up in their marriage Why their cheap rent is a financial gift they are not fully using The moment they finally start building a shared money system Chapters: (00:00:00) “He still operates like a single man” (00:01:58) The joint bank account fight (00:07:19) “I don't want to be married without a joint account” (00:12:19) She wants partnership. He hears control. (00:18:05) The credit card argument (00:25:50) Why does he listen to Ramit, but not his wife? (00:30:56) Ramit almost ends the session (00:35:31) Their real income changes the conversation (00:45:20) The bills, the $1,000, and who actually manages the money (00:55:04) Repeating their parents' money fights (01:02:25) Building a new money culture as a couple (01:07:13) Alexis has been carrying the household alone (01:15:20) “I feel like his mom, not his wife” (01:21:52) Breaking the generational money pattern (01:27:54) Why therapy needs to happen before it's too late (01:32:33) Rebuilding their Conscious Spending Plan (01:43:16) From separate money to real partnership (01:48:02) Follow-up This episode is brought to you by: Facet | As of the date of this recording, Facet is waiving the enrollment fee for new annual members, and for my audience, Facet is offering $300 into your brokerage account if you invest and maintain $5,000 within your first 90 days.
