Weighted blankets, which are much heavier than regular blankets, deliver deep, steady pressure that helps calm the nervous system and makes it easier for you to relax and fall asleep A study in China found that adults with diagnosed insomnia who used weighted blankets slept longer, fell asleep faster, and woke up less during the night compared to those using regular blankets Research on psychiatric patients showed that weighted blankets not only improved insomnia but also reduced daytime fatigue, anxiety, and depression, giving people more energy and better functioning during the day Real-world hospital studies confirmed that weighted blankets are safe for people under significant stress, with most participants reporting they felt calmer almost immediately after use While results vary, consistent use of weighted blankets offers a drug-free option to improve both nighttime rest and daytime well-being, especially if you struggle with severe sleep problems or stress

In honor of his bro Mason, who loves emotion, Strider takes a look back through the ages at the development of human emotion. Research led to even more questions. Are humans born with an emotional predisposition that environment exacerbates or curbs? Are there extinct personality types? Or have there been Shmoles like Kevin since cave man times? Strider finds answers and dials up the Halloween store for a fire thank call.

Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning podcast where behavioral science meets workplace culture. Hosted by Chartered Occupational Psychologist Leanne Elliott and business owner Al Elliott, bringing you the latest workplace stories that actually matter. News Round Up Digital Hangover - The New Workplace Epidemic That feeling when you've been on your laptop all day, mindlessly scroll Instagram, and suddenly feel wired but weirdly drained? That's a digital hangover. Psychologies Magazine article: https://pocketmags.com/us/psychologies-magazine/oct-25/articles/the-science-of-wellbeing-how-to-shake-off-a-digital-hangover?srsltid=AfmBOorVwGPxFvEpTNB5EZru-bMQUVahEMrR_Nk5KLVp4daxRgI7CV3W Is Workplace Humour Too Risky? New research from Peter McGraw, Adam Barsky, and Caleb Warren suggests workplace humour might be too risky to attempt. Research article: https://phys.org/news/2025-09-funny.html MrBeast's Vibe Check: Smart Hiring or Commitment Avoidance? The world's biggest YouTuber has introduced 90-day trial periods for all new hires, complete with temporary housing and rental cars. The goal is testing whether someone can adapt to high-speed, high-stakes production work. Business Insider article: https://www.businessinsider.com/why-mrbeast-vibe-checks-new-hires-2025-10 Truth or Lie? Are Tall People Really More Successfully The verdict: TRUE, but with massive caveats. Research shows height correlates with career success - each inch predicts about £600 more in annual earnings. Since 1900, the taller US presidential candidate has won 81% of elections. But height explains only 7% of earning variation, leaving 93% to actual skills, education, and other factors. The effect operates through perceptual bias (we see tall people as more leader-like), modest correlations with intelligence and health, and self-fulfilling prophecies from being treated like a leader from childhood. Workplace Surgery Real listener questions this week: How do you build a reliable team when you're used to doing everything yourself without losing quality control? What do you do when you have to let someone go even though they're trying their best and improving? How do you keep great people when you can't compete on pay with bigger companies?

Across the country, proficiency is sliding and absenteeism is climbing, yet there is a practical path that moves the needle. In this episode of Change Starts Here, host Dustin Odham makes a case for student ownership as the missing engine behind academic improvement, engagement, and long term readiness. Dustin connects national context to daily classroom reality, then shows what ownership actually looks like, students tracking goals, reflecting on data, leading discussions, and taking the mic in conferences with families. He explains why even small shifts can spark big belief, and why strategies do not stick without a culture that invites students to lead their own learning. If you are a district leader, principal, or teacher who wants higher engagement and better results, let your students run the classroom, and see how they take off.Host: Dustin OdhamTimestamps: (00:00 - 00:24) Open and setup.

Will AI Steal Your Soul? Host Tina Yeager sits down with Dr. Drew Dickens, an expert in theological anthropology and founder of the Encountering Peace app and podcast. Together, they tackle the captivating and sometimes unnerving question: "Will AI Steal Your Soul?" In an age where technology and artificial intelligence are evolving rapidly, Tina and Dr. Dickens address Christian perspectives ranging from hopeful embrace to genuine fear—and everything in between. They unpack what truly distinguishes humanity from machines, examining our unique spiritual dimension, creativity, and self-awareness, while exploring the allure and dangers of allowing digital innovations to shape our faith journeys. Listen in as Dr. Dickens shares practical advice on using AI responsibly, warns against the spiritual "sloth" that can emerge from overreliance on technology, and offers tools and meditations to help ground listeners in their relationship with God. Whether you're curious, cautious, or overwhelmed by the digital tide, this episode is packed with wisdom, encouragement, and actionable insights to help you flourish in your spiritual life—even in a tech-driven world. Episode highlights: ✨ AI, Faith & Fear: Dr. Dickens explores why many Christians find themselves oscillating between embracing, fearing, and being overwhelmed by the rapid pace of AI's evolution. He encourages us to step back and examine technology objectively, rather than being led only by emotion or popular culture. ✨ What Makes Us Human? The discussion dives deep into the essential qualities that separate humans from machines—our God-given ability to create and our unique self-awareness. Dr. Dickens highlights the difference between true spiritual interaction and the imitation of it by artificial intelligence. ✨ The Spiritual Cost of Convenience: Are digital tools making us spiritually lazy? Research reveals we're losing some ability to think critically and, spiritually, we risk letting AI stand in for genuine reflection, prayer, and relationship with God. ✨ Using AI Wisely in Your Faith Walk: Both Tina and Dr. Dickens agree: technology itself isn't evil, but we must check ourselves. Are we using AI to support our faith journey—or to avoid the hard but rewarding work of carrying our cross each day? ✨ Practical Spiritual Habits: Intentionality is key. Dr. Dickens reminds us to carve out time for prayer, community, and “unplugged” connection—acts fundamental to flourishing in faith despite our increasingly busy, tech-filled lives. Resources Mentioned: Encountering Peace App & Podcast: Experience guided Christian meditations designed to help you reconnect with stillness and the Spirit. Free resources, daily devotionals, and support for your spiritual muscles await at encounteringpeace.com. New Podcast: AI and Spirituality: Stay updated on how spiritual practice intersects with the latest tech changes. Search “AI and Spirituality” wherever you get your podcasts! Final Thought: As Dr. Dickens shares, beware of “acedia”—the subtle spiritual laziness that can creep in when we hand off our deepest work to technology. Each day, choose to lean in and do the good, sometimes difficult, work of nurturing your soul. We're thrilled to accompany you on this journey of faith, growth, and transformation.

No one is coming to save you. The moment you realize that is the moment you step into your true power as a leader. In this episode of Reflect Forward, I explore the life changing power of radical responsibility. As leaders, we all have moments when we wish someone else would fix the problem, make the decision, or show us the path forward. But waiting for someone to rescue us kills momentum. True leadership begins when we stop waiting and start owning. I talk about how to recognize when you have slipped into victim thinking, how to catch yourself in that moment, and how to reclaim your sense of agency. You will learn how to listen for the subtle signals that you are giving away your power, especially when you hear yourself saying “Yeah, but.” That phrase is the telltale sign that you have moved from ownership to avoidance. This episode will help you build the mindset of accountability and confidence that defines great leaders. It is about shifting from “Why will someone not fix this?” to “What is my next step?” and realizing that you already have everything you need to lead yourself and your team forward. As Winston Churchill once said, “The price of greatness is responsibility.” Taking ownership for your choices, your reactions, and your mindset is how you become the kind of leader others want to follow. Research backs this up. A McKinsey study found that companies with leaders who embrace ownership and accountability are 4.9 times more likely to outperform their peers in overall performance. Accountability is not just about personal growth; it is a competitive advantage. Key Takeaways 1. Ownership starts where excuses end. The moment you stop waiting for rescue, you start leading. 2. Catch your “yeah, but.” It is the red flag of victim thinking. Pause, reframe, and act. 3. Ask the three ownership questions: • What part of this situation can I own right now? • If no one else steps in, what is the best step I can take today? • Am I choosing to be a victim or the leader who changes it? 4. Clarity beats control. You cannot control circumstances, but you can always control your response. 5. Leaders go first. When you model accountability, you build a culture that owns results. Mic Drop Moments • “No one is coming to save you. The moment you realize that is the moment you step into your true power as a leader.” • “Leadership begins when we stop waiting and start owning.” • “If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you would not sit for a month.” — Theodore Roosevelt • “You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself.” — Jim Rohn If this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who needs this reminder.

How you walk doesn't just reflect your mood — it can actually shape it. Research shows that adjusting your stride can boost happiness, and even a short walk outside could be the smartest thing you do today. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/141015143259.htm When it comes to spending money, one-size-fits-all advice doesn't work. Should you spend on experiences? Travel? Things? The truth is, the way money makes you happy depends on you. Joining me to explore this is Morgan Housel, partner at The Collaborative Fund, award-winning journalist, and author of The Art of Spending Money: Simple Choices for a Richer Life (https://amzn.to/4gxSGrd). He reveals how your spending choices can bring real joy — or quietly sabotage your happiness. History is full of stories we've all been told — and many of them are flat-out wrong. Did slaves build the pyramids? Was Pong the first video game? Were people in the Middle Ages dirty and unwashed? Not even close. My guest, Jo Hedwig Teeuwisse — better known as The Fake History Hunter — has been debunking false historical “facts” for more than 20 years. She's the author of Fake History: 101 Things that Never Happened (https://amzn.to/46tN7FC), and she's here to set the record straight. And finally, what's the real cost of a little white lie? You might think small lies are harmless, but science shows even tiny untruths can damage your health and relationships. I'll explain why honesty really is the best policy. https://research.nd.edu/news/32485-study-telling-fewer-lies-linked-to-better-health-relationships/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

Four months have passed since a jury acquitted Karen Read for the murder of Boston police officer John O'Keefe. Some involved in the three-year saga have seen their reputations permanently tarnished. Others are riding the case's notoriety to newfound fame and monetary rewards. The obvious question remains: if Karen Read didn't kill John O'Keefe, who did? Scrutiny has swung from the accused to the accusers: the Canton Police Department, Massachusetts State Police and Norfolk County District Attorney's Office. As for Karen, there's no indication she plans to leave the spotlight. A movie is in the works. So is a tell-all book. Then again, so is a civil trial in which she stands to lose tens of thousands in future proceeds. For John's loved ones and many others, the drama is far from over—it's just entered a new, equally contentious chapter.

"We just want our daughter's remains returned so we can have some closure to our grief."On 15 August 2015, employees at the Mission Park Funeral Chapels North in San Antonio, TX closed up for the evening. They'd just held a service for a young woman named Julie Mott who had perished after a lifelong battle with cystic fibrosis. By 4:30 PM that Saturday, the doors were locked and the ADT alarm system was set.When staff returned to the facility the following morning, they were surprised to see that Julie's casket had been moved from an empty hallway and now rested in a strange position near an exit door. And inside the casket, there was nothing.

His work has been covered in the ‘Huffington Post', ‘Psychology Today', ‘Scientific American', ‘BBC Radio 4' and has generated research from numerous psychologists around the world.At DOPS, Philip's initial focus will be on investigating – and elucidating processes related to – reports of past-life memories from children around the world.Research Interests:Near-death experiencesChildren reporting past-life memoriesPsychological consequences of mortality awarenessOut-of-body experienceshttps://med.virginia.edu/perceptual-studies/dops-staff/philip-cozzolino-phd/ https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of Grow Think Tank, I explore the biggest ceo mistakes frequently make that can hinder their long-term success. Drawing from my experience as a CEO coach, I highlight the importance of leadership cultivation within teams and the detrimental effects of being too central to the business's value. I discuss how founder-led companies often face lower valuations and emphasize the need for delegation and empowerment to foster team ownership. I address how the instinct to control can lead to micromanagement, ultimately alienating high performers. Finally, I stress the significance of recognizing blind spots for effective leadership. Listeners are invited to my free training session to delve deeper into these strategies for overcoming common CEO challenges and enhancing growth. Biggest CEO Mistakes Being the Most Important Person Outworking the Problem Holding onto Control Being the Most Important Person In this episode of Grow Think Tank, I delve into the critical mistakes CEOs often make that can undermine long-term success. One of the first and most common is believing you must be the most important person in the business. If everything revolves around you, your company is likely less valuable than it could be. Research shows that founder-led businesses often receive a 30% lower valuation compared to those that run independently of their founders. Why? Businesses that rely too heavily on a single leader don't scale well and aren't attractive to investors or buyers. As a CEO coach, I help leaders step out of the spotlight and develop leadership within their teams. Creating value means building a company that thrives without you at the center, where leadership is distributed and the organization is resilient beyond one individual. Outworking the Problem In the early stages of a company, CEOs often get by through sheer effort. You face a problem, and you work harder. But as the business grows, this “outworking the problem” mindset becomes a liability. It's a mistake to think hustle alone will solve scaling challenges. Eventually, this leads to burnout, bottlenecks, and a team that doesn't grow because you're still doing all the heavy lifting. Instead, the focus must shift toward delegation and empowerment. Leadership is not about doing more; it's about enabling others to take ownership. This transition is where many founders struggle, but it's also where true growth begins. Holding onto Control Finally, we address a trap that many founders fall into: holding onto control for too long. In the early days, this level of control can help maintain quality and speed. But as your business scales, that same control can strangle progress. Micromanaging alienates high performers and slows innovation. I've seen it time and time again: capable leaders leave because they aren't trusted, and the company plateaus. Growth requires trust and trust means letting go. Transitioning from founder to CEO demands a shift in mindset. You have to evolve from being the person doing everything to the person who builds the team that does everything. That shift is hard but absolutely necessary. Final Thought If you're serious about becoming the kind of leader your growing company needs, it starts with identifying these blind spots. Throughout this episode, I share insights, experiences, and strategies to help you make the shift from founder to CEO. Join me in a free training session where we go deeper into each of these mistakes and how to overcome them so you can lead with intention and scale your business the right way.

What happens when binge eating disorder and bipolar disorder collide? Research shows they co-occur in as many as one in four cases — and yet, many people living with both conditions feel completely alone. In this episode, host Gabe Howard shares his personal journey of living with bipolar disorder and binge eating disorder, including how food was his form of self-medication.Board certified psychiatrist Dr. Nicole Washington breaks down the clinical side: what binge eating disorder actually is, how it's diagnosed, and why treating it alongside bipolar disorder can get “tricky.” Listeners will learn: signs and symptoms of binge eating disorder (beyond overeating) why stability with bipolar disorder often makes binge eating easier to manage unique treatment challenges — including why the only FDA-approved medication for binge eating disorder may be destabilizing for people living with bipolar disorder Gabe and Dr. Nicole rip the lid off the shame, secrecy, and stigma surrounding binge eating disorder, especially when it coincides with bipolar disorder. With honesty and compassion, they share practical treatment insights, real hope, and a powerful reminder: You are not alone. Whether you're having trouble or supporting someone you love, this episode delivers validation, guidance, and the encouragement you need to take the next step toward healing and living your best life. "I weighed over 550 pounds and I knew that I was unhealthy. But I didn't really see binge eating disorder as a mental health problem because bipolar disorder sucked all the oxygen out of the room. And I was lucky, I did go from over 550 pounds down to the 200 that I weigh now, because I had the right interventions. I treated both bipolar disorder and binge eating disorder. But I imagine that many listeners, they don't realize the connection between these two." ~Gabe Howard, Host Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning podcast host, author, and sought-after suicide prevention and mental health speaker, but he wouldn't be any of those things today if he hadn't been committed to a psychiatric hospital in 2003.Gabe also hosts Healthline's Inside Mental Health podcast has appeared in numerous publications, including Bipolar magazine, WebMD, Newsweek, and the Stanford Online Medical Journal.

Precocious puberty, also known as early puberty, takes place when a child's body begins to change into an adult body too soon. In today's world, puberty usually begins for girls around age eight, and around age nine for our boys. In recent years, there has also been research showing that in general, our kids are reaching puberty at earlier and earlier ages. There have been lots of different theories put forward regarding what's causing this. Researchers tell us that one factor which triggers early puberty in girls are the fragrance producing chemicals that are in the commercial beauty and skin-care products that flood the market, and that have become especially popular among pre-teen and younger girls in recent years. Research indicates these fragrances have the potential to stimulate parts of the brain that trigger early puberty, risks of psychological problems, heart disease, and breast cancer associated with early puberty. Parents, keep an eye on the products your kids are using.

Intro: Hello, and welcome to episode 178 of the Childless Not by Choice Podcast. My name is Civilla Morgan. My mission is to recognize and speak to childless women and men worldwide, reminding us that we can live joyful, relevant, and fulfilled lives.  And whether you have children or not, thank you for tuning in!     What is today's show about? Ectopic Pregnancies     I have not forgotten that this podcast is about childlessness. Indeed, being childless not by choice. And we all know there are many reasons for childlessness, including medical issues such as endometriosis, fibroids, adenomyosis, miscarriage, PCOS, and so many other physical and physiological issues.  Trauma, both physical and emotional, can be a cause. Being born without a uterus, which I have discussed on this podcast before. I will put a link to that interview in the show notes for this episode. And then just the unknown, also known as idiopathic infertility.    I want to talk about ectopic pregnancy because I have never discussed it. But let's step back a little. Let's talk about the uterus. And I realize I am speaking to the choir here. I think most of you know what a uterus is and what it does. So let me say this in one or two sentences: The uterus is where a baby grows once the sperm fertilizes the egg. So if the egg, sperm, and fertilization end up anywhere outside of the uterus, the pregnancy will not thrive. In fact, the pregnancy will not go to term. And most times that ending up outside the uterus means the components I just mentioned: the sperm and egg, end up in the fallopian tubes. It's like driving down a highway, the fallopian tubes. You are supposed to end up at a destination, the uterus, but you get stuck on the highway instead. And sometimes getting stuck on the highway can cause irreparable damage. Meaning the possibility of no future natural pregnancies.  Although we have two fallopian tubes, so if one is affected by an ectopic pregnancy, if the other one is healthy, a viable pregnancy is possible.   The risk of an ectopic pregnancy is 1-2%.  It sounds like a small percentage, but a percentage is a percentage, isn't it? It's small until it happens to you.     And human physiology is not something that can be contested. In other words, there is no way to have a baby successfully grow outside of the womb, the uterus. And again, I know I don't need to say this, but I am not referring to other types of creating pregnancy, like the gift of a successful IVF. I am talking about how a pregnancy starts biologically, and the only way it can continue.   So, ectopic pregnancies.  ‘An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, typically in the fallopian tube.'--AI.  Ectopic pregnancies are often caused by damaged fallopian tubes, which prevent a fertilized egg from reaching the uterus, leading it to implant and grow elsewhere.  Risk factors for tubal damage and subsequent ectopic pregnancies include  pelvic inflammatory disease (PID),  endometriosis,  Previous abdominal pelvic surgery  Smoking.  Other risk factors include conception while using an intrauterine device (IUD)  After a tubal ligation (sterilization), Ongoing fertility treatments.   Age: Being older than age 35 can also be a risk factor.    I want to stop here and note that an ectopic pregnancy can be very dangerous. It is suggested that if you believe or have been diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy, you should see your physician immediately.  Symptoms:  Vaginal bleeding or spotting Abdominal pain, often one-sided Shoulder pain Nausea and vomiting Dizziness or fainting    Now, the good news in all of this is that the chances of a successful pregnancy after an ectopic pregnancy are good, ranging from 65 to 85%, especially as time goes on. Meaning if you get pregnant again in 18 months, a successful pregnancy is 65% likely. In two years, it is 85% likely.    I will say again, if we have arrived at the fact that we will not be having children. Maybe we have already had the hysterectomy. Maybe we have stopped IVF. We have just come to terms and decided to move on with our lives as childless not by choice people. That's what this podcast was created to address. But I also believe it is important to know more than our own journey. And that if we ever want to discuss more than our own journey, we are in the know. We can intelligently discuss as much or as little as we would like.  Knowledge allows us to have the ball in our court.    Maybe you have a family member or friend who is or has suffered from an ectopic pregnancy. Maybe you have, and then the pregnancy never happened for you. Either way, this is a slice of knowledge.  And I hope it was helpful.   As I close out this episode, I want to remind you that we are approaching our final episodes.  It is a bittersweet feeling, as I have said before. But I know I am doing the right thing. I am feeling a shift and I need to go along with that shift. I will keep the Facebook group open, I will keep the website up and running. And in fact, I may now find time to refresh the website. www.childlessnotbychoice.net.   Usually I go on hiatus for October and November. I have decided to do an October episode, and hiatus for November only. Back in December with a final episode.  Any questions, please feel free to reach out.

If you're stocking up on Halloween candy, do you know which treats kids actually want the most? This episode opens with a list of the top 10 most popular Halloween candies — and it may not be what you expect. https://www.cincinnati.com/story/entertainment/2023/10/03/blow-pops-win-title-ohio-favorite-halloween-candy/71041875007/ Some animals live unimaginably long lives — an oyster that's over 500 years old, creatures that seem to never age at all. What if unlocking their secrets could help us extend human lifespans? Research into nature's most resilient species is already pointing the way. Joining me is Steven Austad, Distinguished Professor of Biology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and author of Methuselah's Zoo: What Nature Can Teach Us about Living Longer, Healthier Lives (https://amzn.to/3Q5Zj8L). He reveals what the natural world is teaching us about living not just longer, but better. Why do some people come to believe things that simply aren't true? From flat-earth theories to dangerous conspiracy thinking, misbelief is everywhere — and it can have serious consequences. Dan Ariely, professor of psychology and behavioral economics at Duke University, knows this topic intimately. He's the author of Misbelief: What Makes Rational People Believe Irrational Things (https://amzn.to/3ZNNOpB), and he shares both the science and his personal story of being the target of misbelief. This conversation might change how you view false beliefs — and those who hold them.

Assaf Dahan, Director of Threat Research, Cortex XDR, at Palo Alto Networks, discussing Phantom Taurus, a new China APT uncovered by Unit 42. Unit 42 researchers have identified Phantom Taurus, a newly designated Chinese state-aligned APT conducting long-term espionage against government and telecommunications organizations across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Distinguished by its stealth, persistence, and rare tactics, the group has recently shifted from email-focused data theft to directly targeting databases and deploying a powerful new malware suite called NET-STAR, designed to compromise IIS web servers and evade detection. This suite, featuring modular, fileless backdoors and advanced evasion capabilities, marks a significant evolution in Phantom Taurus' operations and underscores the group's strategic intelligence-gathering objectives.

Episode Summary: In this episode, Heather “Lucky” Penney talks to Lt. Gen. David Deptula, USAF (Ret.), Jennifer "Boots" Reeves, Todd “Sledge” Harmer, Anthony “Lazer” Lazarski, Jeff Rowlison, and Brig. Gen. Houston "Slider" Cantwell, USAF (Ret.) about the top defense issues this month in Washington, D.C. and beyond. Our team digs into what a government closure means for national security and where the defense bills stand in Congress. We also discuss the challenges and opportunities facing Gen. Wilsbach as the Chief of Staff of the Air Force nominee. On the spacepower side of the equation, we explore the USSF's new Force Design, what it will take to better track threats in space, Space Development Agency's Tranche 1 satellites on orbit, and recent space-based laser communication advancements. We wrap by looking at the Department of War's increased focus on homeland defense.

In this week's episode, we break down the strength of the current stock market—after several years of 20%+ returns, we're on track for another strong year with the market up 15% heading into the fourth quarter. We discuss companies posting record profits, the sheer number of all-time highs we've seen, and debate whether this momentum represents a new normal or just an anomaly.We also dig into the drama of a government shutdown—what sparked it, what really happens when Washington stalls, and what history tells us about the real impact on the economy. We'll focus on what really matters for your money, and talk about the broader consequences along with what it might take to prevent future standoffs.Why does the economy look strong on paper while so many people feel squeezed? We dig into the growing divide between the “haves” and “have-nots,” where the top 10% income earners drive nearly half of all spending while the middle class is getting squeezed out. From budget hotels struggling to fill rooms to luxury resorts booked solid, we'll explore what this bifurcation means for the economy—and for everyday investors.To wrap up the show, we're taking a sweet detour into the world of dirty soda—the over-the-top, syrup-and-cream-loaded drinks that are taking TikTok by storm. From candy add-ins to premade bottles and even specialty soda shops, we'll explore why everyone suddenly wants their soda “dirty” and what this trend says about today's foodie culture.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

One of the most painful lessons of the Kirk assassination is that conservatives are running rings around progressives in political mobilization - especially of young Americans. So how to make the left relevant in America again? For the philosopher Michael Brownstein, co-author of Somebody Should Do Something, progressives need to learn to lose both cleverly and loudly. And they can learn from NRA on this. Despite holding positions unpopular with most Americans, Brownstein acknowledges that the NRA created a powerful social identity around gun ownership and leveraged it for decades of legislative victories through masterful political strategy and organization. Drawing from social science research on collective action, Brownstein argues that highly theatrical defeats—like the recent Texas Democrats' walkout or John Lewis' bloody fate on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in 1965—can catalyze change by forcing opponents into untenable positions. The key isn't winning every battle, but making individual actions visible enough to shift social norms and inspire others, especially the young, to join the cause. So lose often and lose loudly, Brownstein says. It's a winning strategy. 1. Individual Actions Are Social Signals, Not Just Drops in the Bucket When you install solar panels or drive an electric car, the impact isn't just environmental—it's social. Research shows your neighbors are far more likely to adopt these behaviors after seeing you do it. Stop calculating carbon molecules; start thinking about social influence.2. The “Do-Gooder's Dilemma” Is a Corporate Invention From “jaywalking” (coined by 1920s car companies) to “personal carbon footprints” (popularized by BP), industries have systematically shifted responsibility for systemic problems onto individuals. Recognizing this manipulation is the first step to effective collective action.3. Losing Loudly Can Be More Powerful Than Winning Quietly The Texas Democrats knew they'd lose their walkout fight. John Lewis knew he'd be beaten at Selma. But theatrical defeats that force opponents to reveal their brutality or absurdity can shift public opinion more effectively than quiet procedural victories.4. Study Your Enemies' Playbook The NRA succeeded for decades despite holding unpopular positions by creating a powerful social identity around gun ownership. Progressives should learn from these organizing tactics rather than dismissing them.5. Beware the “Anti-Incrementalism Bias” Revolutionary change like Prohibition often fails because it lacks public buy-in. Lasting progress—like Social Security—comes from incremental victories that build over time. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

The great primatologist and humanitarian, Jane Goodall, died on October 1, 2025, at the age of 91. It is a joy and a comfort to revisit our last broadcast of her 2020 conversation with Krista.  Jane Goodall began her epic work studying chimpanzees in the Gombe forest without even a college degree. The science she proceeded to do recalled modern western science to the fact that we are a part of nature, not separate from it. She spent the last decades of her life on the road, often with the young, tending to human fear and misunderstanding. In this beautiful conversation from pandemic lockdown, she shared the moral and spiritual wisdom that emerged in her extraordinary life — and the hope that, to the end, sustained her.Jane Goodall was the founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and its youth program, Roots & Shoots. She has been the subject of many films and documentaries, including “Jane Goodall: The Hope.” Her many books include In the Shadow of Man, Reason for Hope: A Spiritual Journey, and most recently, The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times. Find the transcript for this show at onbeing.org.This show originally aired in August, 2020.

In this unforgettable episode of Sasquatch Odyssey, Levi from Missouri takes us deep into his extraordinary journey—one that bridges Bigfoot encounters with UFO research. With years of experience investigating unexplained aerial phenomena, Levi brings a unique perspective to the world of Sasquatch.His story begins at Weldon Springs near St. Louis, where eerie parallel footsteps, unsettling sounds, and unusual tree structures marked his first brushes with the unknown. From there, Levi's research evolved into a high-tech pursuit, utilizing spectrum analyzers, seismic sensors, and advanced camera systems to document activity that defies easy explanation.Levi shares gripping accounts of mysterious voices in the darkness, strange lights in the woods, and overwhelming moments of fear during expeditions. His integration of UFO research methods with Bigfoot investigations reveals surprising connections and adds a compelling dimension to the mysteries of both. And this is just the beginning. This episode is Part One of Two—so stay tuned for next Friday's Round Two, where we dive into even stranger experiences, including Levi's explanation of the mysterious “telephone machine” he refers to throughout our conversation.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsEpisode Breakdown:00:00 – Introduction and Guest Welcome00:10 – Levi's Journey into Bigfoot Research01:07 – First Encounter at Weldon Springs03:05 – Escalating Experiences and Discoveries06:39 – First Expedition and Unexplained Phenomena16:04 – Second Night: Intense Activity and Light Encounter32:22 – Analyzing Electronic Readings and Infrasound36:31 – Uranium Manufacturing and Radio Tweaks38:11 – Seismic Sensors and Bigfoot Detection40:22 – High-Tech Game Camera Innovations41:52 – Challenges and Successes in Bigfoot Research44:44 – Expedition Experiences and Anomalies48:49 – Unexplained Phenomena and Encounters01:03:26 – Strange Findings and Government Interference01:12:26 – Concluding Thoughts and Future ResearchBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Welcome to hacking Your ADHD. I'm your host, William Curb, and I have ADHD. On this podcast, I dig into the tools, tactics, and best practices to help you work with your ADHD Brain. And today I'm joined by Sky Waterson for our research recap series. In this series, we take a look at a single research paper, although today we're going to be looking at two and so it's a little something different. What we do is we try to see how the papers were conducted, try to find any practical takeaways and discuss what's going on in these papers. So the two papers we're gonna discuss today are Boredom, Proneness, and its correlation with internet addiction and internet activities and adolescence with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. And our second paper then is boredom, proneness and Inattention in Children With and Without ADHD, the mediating rule of delay aversion. So lots in there, lots to discuss. And we'll get all into that. And as this is a new series, I do wanna make sure that people know that. I would love to hear what your thoughts about it. Feel free to go to hackingyouradhd.com/contact and leave me a note about what you think about this series. I'd love to hear about this and I've really appreciated all the feedback I've already gotten for this series. So I'd love to hear more and make sure that I'm doing this in ways that you guys really like. Now, new episodes of Research Recap will be coming out every other Friday. And with that, let's get into this.

There's no doubt we all love a big juicy goal setting session at the start of the year, one which wraps up all our hopes and dreams over the next 12 months.You write them down with the best intentions, feel motivated for a few weeks to go after them, then realise it's already the end of the month and you've done nothing about them?You're not alone. Research shows most people give up on their goals by day 23.But here's the good news: 90 days is the sweet spot. It's long enough to create real momentum, but short enough for your brain to actually stay motivated and focused.90-day sprints work so powerfully, and I go deep into why combining goals with intentions is the unfair advantage most people miss in this episode of the LifePilot Podcast. This isn't about hustling harder, it's about aligning with brain science, building habits that stick, and creating real progress quarter by quarter.Whether you're all energised and excited to have an amazing final quarter in 2025 or listening to this later, this framework will help you finally turn your big dreams into consistent action.What You'll Learn:Why your brain struggles with year-long planning (and the science behind the 90-day "Goldilocks Zone")How the Fresh Start Effect + Parkinson's Law make deadlines work in your favorWhy we underestimate what's possible in 90 days (but overestimate daily output)The difference between goals (the “what”) and intentions (the “who + why”)How to use if–then planning to create automatic momentum instead of relying on willpowerA practical 90-day framework to help you set, track, and actually achieve your top 3 priorities Hosted on Acast.

What if confidence wasn't in your head, but in your posture? In this episode, AJ and Johnny unpack the science of body language and embodied cognition—how standing tall, opening your chest, and taking up space sends powerful signals to your brain and to everyone around you. Backed by psychology research, they show how posture isn't just a reflection of mood—it actively creates it. You'll discover why slumped shoulders and “phone posture” leak low status, while upright, expansive body language instantly boosts mood, confidence, and presence. From the “doorway drill” to quick body checks, AJ and Johnny share practical tools to reset your default signals so you project confidence in every meeting, date, or social interaction—before you even say a word.

ADHD affects more than 7 million children in the U.S., with many experiencing moderate to severe symptoms; yet nearly a third receive no treatment, highlighting the need for broader, integrative solutions Research shows children with ADHD are more likely to have magnesium deficiency, which disrupts neurotransmitters, stress response, and brain signaling. This worsens hyperactivity, impulsivity, inattention, and emotional instability Clinical trials demonstrate magnesium supplementation improves behavior, focus, and social interactions in children with ADHD, with the strongest benefits observed in those correcting underlying magnesium deficiencies Food alone is often not enough to restore optimal magnesium levels due to soil depletion and poor absorption. Supplementation with forms like glycinate, malate, or L-threonate is a valuable tool Environmental and lifestyle strategies, like reducing pesticide and chemical exposure and improving gut health, help manage or reduce ADHD symptoms naturally

Whole body vibration (WBV) therapy uses a vibration plate to trigger rapid muscle contractions, enhancing muscle activation, coordination, and circulation in a short, low-impact session Studies show WBV helps reduce total and visceral fat, though results are modest and most effective when paired with healthy eating and regular exercise Research highlights additional benefits, including improved bone density, muscle strength, balance, cognitive function, and reduced chronic pain in certain populations Not all vibration plates are the same — movement patterns, frequencies, and amplitudes vary, with devices like the Power Plate offering advanced tri-planar vibration technology WBV is generally safe for healthy adults but should be avoided without medical clearance in cases of pregnancy, recent surgery, cardiovascular issues, or severe osteoporosis
