State of the Union or State of Denial? BAFTAs Controversy & Avalanche Liability Tonight, Donald Trump delivers his State of the Union address. But is it a real assessment of America — or political theater? Recent polling shows many Americans believe the White House isn't focused on the issues that matter most: cost of living, stability, global tension, and domestic division. Will Congress continue to align with the President, or begin to break ranks? Meanwhile, the BAFTAs spark global debate. Two award-winning Black actors take the stage. An actor with Tourette's shouts a racial slur. Social media erupts. Was it handled correctly? What responsibility exists when neurological conditions intersect with harmful language? The answer isn't simple — but the conversation matters. And in the deadly avalanche tragedy, new details raise serious questions. The skiers weren't acting recklessly alone — they were with a tour company. If warnings were issued, what liability exists? At what point does risk become negligence? Politics. Race. Responsibility. Accountability. The Karel Show streams live Monday–Thursday at 10:30 AM PST.

Hello to you listening in Olympia, Washington! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. I am a storyteller of the old school. What do I mean? For over 30 years I've taught (and continue to teach) my clients and students the same thing: “Put down the paper and nobody gets hurt!” Why? Because storytellers have something to say that comes from their aliveness, which is what people most want to feel and connect with. Sharing our stories out loud brings them to light and life, and  encourages us to do what most folks fear more than snakes: stand up and speak up in public.   Story spoken aloud is what we leave of ourselves in another person. A story is an intimate lasting legacy, a permanent inheritance much like a vow or an oath. When we share our stories out loud, we connect with each other, we belong to each other. We might not realize it but we are creating a verbal promise, a vow, an oath of belonging. Think about how many times we've heard  someone say, "Repeat after me: I solemnly swear..." Marrying couples pledge faithfulness through the challenges and joys of marriage. Lawyers uphold the law, maintain client confidentiality, and act as an officer of the court. Doctors focus on ethics, patient care and societal responsibilities. Politicians preserve and defend the Constitution. US military support and defend the Constitution against all enemies. Immigrants becoming US citizens swear the Oath of Allegiance to the United States during a formal naturalization ceremony. From the time we are children in school we recite The Pledge of Allegiance, a patriotic promise of loyalty to the United States flag and the republic for which it stands. What happens when we share our stories out loud? They become real. We say what we mean, we mean what we say. We—and those hearing us—know what we stand for and what we won't stand for. Yes, you might write a story but it needs to be shared out loud to enrich and include the wider world. That's the legacy of the stories we leave in those who have heard them spoken aloud.

There are things that happened to you that weren't your fault. Maybe your dad wasn't there. Maybe no one modeled strength, discipline, or direction. Maybe you were handed confusion instead of clarity and drift instead of standards. But while it may not have been your fault, it is your responsibility. And the moment you understand that is the moment your life begins to change. Today, my guest Frank Schwartz (Dark Helmet in the F3 Community, and I talk about what it means to stop blaming, stop guessing, and start leading. We'll unpack why so many men feel disconnected from purpose, how to build direction through fitness, fellowship, and faith, and why your community needs you to set the standard - not apologize for it. This isn't about shame. It's about ownership. And ownership is where power begins.

Stefan Molyneux talks with a woman stuck in a three-year relationship where simple communication keeps breaking down. He traces the repeated stalemates to deep cultural differences and, more critically, to unprocessed family wounds both partners carry from childhood. Rather than offering quick fixes, he questions her on whether this man can realistically provide the emotional stability and mutual responsibility a serious partnership requires. He then brings the question of future children into sharp focus, asking her to weigh what kind of home and example they would inherit from such a dynamic. The conversation circles back repeatedly to what real love actually asks of people in daily practice and how much each person must own their own past behavior, leaving her with a clearer, if more painful, picture of the relationship's prospects.GET FREEDOMAIN MERCH! https://shop.freedomain.com/SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Leadership pressure can quietly shape culture long before burnout shows up. If you feel exhaustion beneath competence, this may not be failure — but identity-level misalignment. Today we release shame and soften the grip.Leadership pressure rarely announces itself.It often looks like competence.Responsibility.High standards.And over time, it becomes culture.In this episode, we explore how pressure can move from personal strategy to collective atmosphere — and why releasing it requires compassion, not shame.This conversation sits inside burnout and pressure, while layering identity shift and leadership relationships. Because pressure is rarely just about workload. It is often about identity — who you believe you must be in order for things to stay stable.Many high-performing leaders learned early that safety meant vigilance. That love meant competence. That stability meant holding everything together. That strategy built excellence. It built trust. It built companies.But what once stabilized can eventually constrict.When urgency becomes default, teams feel it — even if they cannot name it. Culture absorbs nervous system patterns long before it absorbs strategy.Pressure culture does not begin with ego. It begins with protection.And when you begin to see that your urgency might be shaping the room, shame often follows.This episode gently interrupts that shame.You did not create pressure culture because you are broken.You created it because you learned it.Clear Takeaways:• Pressure once created stability — and acknowledging that matters.• You are not your coping strategy. Responsibility is something you learned, not who you are.• Pressure can keep you competent — but it can quietly keep you alone.• Releasing urgency does not lower standards; it removes fear from the room.• Compassion, not criticism, is what allows pressure patterns to soften.This is not about dismantling excellence.It is about releasing unnecessary tension.Recognition allowed you to see the pattern.Release allows you to soften it.Today's Micro Recalibration:When you feel the impulse to step in quickly, exhale.Let your shoulders drop slightly.Ask gently: “Is this mine to carry?”If yes, respond steadily.If no, let it stay where it belongs.Release is rarely dramatic.It is the quieExplore Identity-Level Recalibration → Schedule a conversation with Julie to see if The Recalibration is a fit for you → Learn about The Recalibration Cohort→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

What does it mean to say trail running is for everyone — when not everyone feels safe at the start line?In this deeply honest and urgent conversation, Corrine sits down with trail runner and immigration attorney Carolina Rubio-MacWright to talk about what's happening right now in immigrant communities — and why our sport cannot pretend it's separate from the political reality of the world we live in.Carolina shares what it's like carrying her residency card on runs, fielding messages from athletes asking whether it's safe to race, and helping race directors develop emergency plans for potential ICE raids.She speaks candidly about what meaningful action actually looks like — from buddy systems and mutual aid to card-writing campaigns for detained families.This episode is not abstract. It's about real runners. Real families. Real fear. And real responsibility.As Carolina reminds us, silence benefits the status quo. Action builds community.Feisty Strong Retreat in Atlanta - April 17-19, 2026: https://feisty.co/events/feisty-strong-retreat-atlanta/@feisty_media@trail.society

I have a lot of anxiety and resentment present in me right now and in my never ending quest to understand how I got here, I turned to something truly holy: memes.

The Developer to CEO transition rarely starts with a bold declaration like, "I'm going to run a company." More often, it begins quietly—by taking on one more responsibility, saying yes to a new opportunity, or stepping into a role that stretches just a little beyond your comfort zone. In this episode of the Building Better Developers podcast, part of our Forward Momentum season, we talk with Meeky Hwang about how that transition unfolds in real life. Her path—from developer to agency founder and CEO—reflects a pattern many experienced engineers recognize only in hindsight. Over time, those small decisions add up. You stop thinking only about code and start thinking about people, clients, sustainability, and direction. At some point, you realize you're no longer just building software—you're building a business. About Meeky Hwang Meeky Hwang's journey resonates with entrepreneurs, technical leaders, and anyone navigating the intersection of technology and business. As CEO and Co-Founder of Ndevr, a digital solutions development agency, Meeky brings over 20 years of experience building resilient, scalable platforms for organizations including Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Forbes, PMC, and Bloomberg. Her work goes beyond website development—she focuses on long-term digital solutions that improve performance, streamline workflows, and align technology with business strategy. Equally important is Meeky's perspective as a woman leading in a male-dominated industry. She has navigated the challenges of technical leadership, entrepreneurship, and scaling a services business while building credibility and strong teams along the way. Her experience offers an honest look at what it takes to grow as a leader without losing sight of innovation, people, or purpose. Follow on LinkedIn and her Website. Developer to CEO transition starts with "accidental" opportunities For many engineers, this transition begins almost by accident. A consulting role exposes you to different industries. A startup forces you to wear multiple hats. An agency environment teaches you how delivery, relationships, and trust intersect. None of these roles comes with a "future CEO" label. But they do build instincts—how to prioritize, how to adapt, and how to make tradeoffs when perfect solutions aren't possible. Those instincts matter far more than a perfectly mapped career plan. Developer to CEO transition lessons from consulting, startups, and agencies Each environment contributes something different to the Developer to CEO transition. Consulting sharpens communication and expectation-setting. Startups teach ownership and resilience. Agencies reveal what it takes to scale work without burning people out. Individually, these roles can feel chaotic. Together, they form a foundation that prepares developers for leadership long before they realize that's where they're headed. Developer to CEO transition and the mindset shift to full responsibility There's a moment in the transition when responsibility feels heavier. Decisions don't stop at your team or your sprint—they ripple outward. Hiring, pricing, client relationships, and long-term viability all land on your plate. Problems are no longer theoretical. They're personal. This shift changes how leaders think. It forces clarity, prioritization, and the ability to move forward without perfect information. Developer to CEO transition accelerators: mastermind and founder groups One of the most impactful accelerators in the Developer to CEO transition is joining founder communities earlier than you think you need them. Mastermind ROI for New Owners Real conversations about hiring, benefits, pricing, and mistakes Exposure to how other founders actually run their businesses Founder groups shorten the learning curve by replacing isolation with shared experience. Instead of guessing, you learn from people who've already been there. Developer to CEO transition accountability: learning faster through peers Accountability is often underestimated in the Developer to CEO transition. Founder groups create a rhythm of progress—not through pressure, but through shared momentum. The "Accidental" Path That Works Follow opportunities that increase learning, not just status Optimize early for exposure and experience, not polish When you know you'll report back to peers who care, progress stops being optional. Developer to CEO transition when your role forces personal growth The Developer to CEO transition also reshapes how leaders show up. Many founders start as quiet contributors, comfortable behind the scenes. Leadership changes that. Mindset Shifts in the Developer to CEO transition Responsibility changes how decisions feel—and how quickly they must be made Visibility and communication become part of the job Growth here isn't about changing who you are. It's about growing into what the role requires. Developer to CEO transition and evolving the agency niche over time As companies mature, the Developer to CEO transition continues through strategic evolution. Niches tighten, then expand. Focus shifts based on market feedback, strengths, and timing. The most successful agencies don't chase trends. They adjust deliberately, guided by experience rather than impulse. Developer to CEO transition: what to do earlier if you could restart Ask founders what they'd change, and many give the same answer: find peer support sooner. The Developer to CEO transition becomes clearer—and far less lonely—when you're not navigating it in isolation. This episode of the Building Better Developers podcast is a reminder that growth doesn't come from having all the answers. It comes from asking better questions, learning from others, and building momentum—one decision at a time.

This is the Steaz comeback story! Hear how the brand founders were brought back into the company to help renew the purpose and passion of the brand, which led to a collaboration with Wild Orchard to launch the first line of Regenerative Organic Certified ® canned teas! We speak with Eric Schnell of Beyond Brands, who was one of the original founders of Steaz, to learn more about the history of Steaz and his vision for the reboot. Then Mike Fransz, Director of Marketing for Nova Naturals, the company that owns and manages the Steaz brand now, shares why they brought the founders back and how it's recharged the whole team and brand. Michael Ham, co-founder of Wild Orchard, then shared the story of the world's first Regenerative Organic Certified ® tea farm and the role they play in this collaboration. We discuss the new product line, the challenges of this innovative and collaborative process, and what's bringing each guest hope for the future of our food system. Enjoy!Takeaways:Steaz was the first certified organic soft drink brand in America.Steaz was also the very first fair trade certified tea.The journey of Steaz began with a passion for tea and health.Reviving Steaz involved bringing back the founders to guide its new direction.The collaboration with Wild Orchard got them access to the world's only Regenerative Organic Certified ® green tea.Wild Orchard was the first USDA organic certified farm in Korea.Regenerative Organic agriculture enhances soil health and product quality.The younger generation is increasingly conscious of health, environment, and where their food comes from.Challenges in R&D delayed the launch of new products.Transparency in the supply chain builds consumer trust.Steaz's 1% for the Planet commitment reflects their dedication to sustainability and regenerative agriculture.Sound bites:“Our five P's, which is what we call the Quintuple Bottom Line Business Value System is rooted in Passion, Purpose, People, Planet, and Prosperity.”“We helped get the first fair trade certified tea estate in Sri Lanka up and running.”“We're evangelists for this regenerative organic certification process, not because it's just the cool next thing, but because it creates really meaningful impact across so many different places around the globe.”“The farm that was regenerative organic had the bees and the birds and the deer running through. It seemed to just attract an ecosystem, like Gaia.”“When we consume foods grown in healthy soil, it's actually syncing everything with our gut microbiome and it improves our overall health.”“At Steaz we call it doing good by brewing good.”"You are what you eat. If the soil is healthy, the plant's going to be healthy and tastier, and then when we eat it, it's going to be better in our body too!”“Everybody loves a comeback story. And this is a great one.

This week's episode moves between practical business advice and bigger industry conversations.The discussion covers managing lead flow properly (and why most coaches struggle with nurturing, not generating leads), how to create consistent conversations through structured outreach, and why simply “doing more posts” isn't always the answer during a launch.There's a deeper conversation around why the PT industry isn't centralised or properly regulated — and why that's unlikely to change due to low entry barriers and revenue-driven systems. The conclusion? Responsibility sits with the individual coach to raise their own standards.The episode also explores when to outsource (and why most coaches try to outsource too early), whether buying other coaches' programmes is a smart move, and what actually counts as long-term achievement in business.It finishes with details on the upcoming Connected Coach intake a six-month coaching development programme focused purely on improving coaching ability, confidence, retention, and delivery.00:39 – Academy capacity & what happens when it's full02:11 – Managing a high volume of leads properly07:10 – Why the PT industry isn't regulated11:43 – Biggest achievement so far14:28 – How to generate more conversations (KPIs & outreach)18:56 – Quarterly events: who they're for19:32 – Is 5 emails + 5 posts enough for a launch?22:02 – When to outsource (and when not to)26:37 – Should you buy other coaches' programmes?29:48 – The Connected Coach intake (what it is & who it's for)

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, we step back from Justin's survivor story and examine the pattern beneath it. Justin believed in partnership. He leaned into responsibility, tried to stabilize tension, and carried the weight of keeping everything together. Over time, those strengths slowly shifted into over-functioning — where effort replaced evaluation, and stability depended increasingly on him alone. In this episode, we explore: how rapid commitment and shared responsibility can crowd out clarity why capable, dependable partners often stay longer in unstable dynamics how accusations and instability condition self-monitoring the illusion of control in relationships and how over-functioning can mask structural imbalance Click if you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please send us an email at narcissistapocalypse@pm.me Click on the title to read about Coercive Control as Care: Signs & Patterns Sign up to our Domestic Violence Newsletter  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Last July, we brought Talking Taiwan to the 2025 Taiwanese American Conference, West Coast. While we were there, I sat down to speak with Dr. Shih-Fen Chen (陳時奮), who's also been known by his pen name Wēngdáruì (翁達瑞). Dr. Chen is Professor Emeritus at Ivey Business School, and a Professor at Western Washington University. He's an outspoken political commentator, self-described as a scholar with a sense of responsibility to reveal the truth.   This episode is sponsored in part by the Pacific Times (太平洋時報)   Related Links:

This episode centers on a powerful, foundational question: what truly anchors our faith when the world feels uncertain and unsettled?Josh and Caitlin reflect on recent conversations with close friends and family members who asked where their testimony and hope come from. The hosts share openly that the core of real endurance is not built on perfect circumstances, successful businesses, or even constant answers from God. Instead, it grows from knowing one eternal truth: we are sons and daughters of Heavenly Parents.This episode is sincere, hopeful, and practical. It reminds listeners that while life may feel heavier each year, the love of God never changes. He is patient with us, involved in our lives, and invites us to keep pressing forward—faithfully and imperfectly.Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/enduretotheendpod/Zunex Pest Control: https://www.instagram.com/zunexpestco/00:03 – Podcast welcome and introduction00:34 – Where Josh's faith stems from01:06 – The hinge point of testimony01:20 – How faith gets us through hard times02:13 – Recognizing a relationship with God03:23 – Alignment with Jesus Christ brings clarity04:09 – Grace versus perfectionism04:53 – God's nature never changes05:28 – Identity as children of God06:12 – Strained earthly relationships07:41 – Sharing personal stories08:10 – High school infatuation example10:16 – Idealizing people beyond reality11:05 – Josh's mission turning point12:26 – Learning to trust God personally13:14 – Ether 12:27 and weakness15:28 – Scripture: Rich young ruler17:04 – Giving God our whole heart18:30 – Faith forged in painful moments19:24 – Over-idealization and identity21:24 – Gratitude for God leading us22:15 – Healing through boundaries27:01 – Meekness explained30:12 – Responsibility to be good to others33:20 – Teaching children correctly34:39 – True definition of meekness36:29 – Scripture: Romans 8:16-1738:36 – God's love for all people41:03 – Think Celestial segment44:41 – Final testimony45:53 – Closing encouragement

The Emergency Management Network PodcastEpisode Title: Authority, Responsibility, and the Emergency Manager's DilemmaHosts: Todd DeVoe and Dan ScottIn this episode of The Emergency Management Network Podcast, Todd DeVoe and Dan Scott take a deep dive into one of the profession's defining tensions: the gap between authority and responsibility. Emergency managers are expected to coordinate complex systems, anticipate cascading failures, and help guide communities through crisis, yet they often operate without direct command authority over the agencies responsible for action. That reality creates a professional dilemma that is rarely discussed openly but felt daily across the field.Todd and Dan explore how responsibility often finds the emergency manager before authority does. When disaster strikes, communities look for coordination, clarity, and leadership, not organizational charts. The conversation examines how emergency managers become accountable for outcomes they do not fully control, and how influence, credibility, and trust often matter more than formal power in driving results.The discussion moves beyond operations into philosophy and ethics. Drawing on ideas from Aristotle, Plato, and Stoic thought, the episode reflects on what it means to carry responsibility simply because you understand risk and consequence. The more an emergency manager sees the interdependencies within a community, the harder it becomes to step back and treat preparedness as someone else's job. Responsibility becomes a moral obligation, not just a professional duty.Todd and Dan also talk candidly about the personal weight that comes with this role. The profession often lives in the space between expectation and authority, and that space can produce both purpose and strain. They explore how burnout emerges when responsibility expands without structural authority, and how relationships, communication, and long-term trust building become the real levers of leadership.The episode reframes authority in emergency management as relational rather than positional. It is built over time through competence, consistency, and the ability to align people and systems before the crisis begins. The conversation highlights how emergency managers shape decisions, influence direction, and steward coordination, even when they are not the ones issuing orders.Throughout the discussion, Todd and Dan return to practice. Governance, culture, and institutional design all shape how authority is shared and how responsibility is carried. The profession continues to evolve, but the dilemma remains a constant. Emergency managers operate at the intersection of policy, operations, and ethics, balancing public expectations with the realities of fragmented authority.This episode challenges listeners to reflect on their own role in that tension. Authority may not always sit in the emergency manager's office, but responsibility often does. The question becomes how to lead effectively within that reality, how to build influence where command is limited, and how to continue stewarding preparedness in systems that are never fully aligned.Todd and Dan close with a reminder that the work of emergency management begins long before the incident and continues long after the headlines fade. The profession is not defined by command, but by stewardship, trust, and the quiet work of aligning people and systems toward resilience. This is a public episode.

You know that conversation that starts with one thing and somehow ends with both of you feeling terrible? This episode is the antidote to that. My husband Rabbi Yonasan Reiser and I speak about asking for what you need in marriage, and how you handle it when the answer is no. We role play it. Twice. The difference is striking. If you've ever swallowed a need because you were afraid of how he'd react, this one's for you.

When we make mistakes or take a wrong turn, it's understandable that our first move might be to blame others, or try to defend ourselves, or do all we can to avoid the feelings of shame or disappointment that come our way. What those responses do, though, is close us off to our human capacity to learn and to be creative in the midst of our difficulties. So what does it take to turn towards the 'holes we fall into' with a kinder, more expansive spirit, and to grow ourselves a little bit bigger so we can respond? And, perhaps most importantly, what does it take to do this not on our own, but together with others?In our conversation we talk specifically about Turning Towards Life - Live - Season 2, which begins in March 2026.This week's Turning Towards Life is hosted as always by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.Episode Overview00:00 Introduction to Turning Towards Life03:01 On Reflection and Learning05:46 Exploring Portia Nelson's Poem09:11 Personal Reflections on Mistakes and Relationships11:58 The Importance of Responsibility and Kindness15:07 Navigating Relational Patterns and Habits17:56 The Power of Choice and Agency20:53 Understanding the Dynamics of Relationships23:50 Finding Purpose in Conversations26:46 The Role of Community in Growth29:54 Conclusion and Invitation to Join the JourneyThis is Turning Towards Life, a weekly live 30 minute conversation hosted by Thirdspace in which Justin Wise and Lizzie Winn dive deep into big questions of human living.

What happens when faith confronts us with responsibility we’d rather avoid? We get defensive – just like the priests of Jesus’ time. That’s what Revs. Trudy and Brittany discuss this first episode in our Lenten Series: The People of the Passion. They start with Matthew 21:33-45, the Parable of the Tenants. Often read as a story about religious leaders rejecting Jesus, the parable is more layered – and more uncomfortable – than we tend to admit. Why does Jesus tell such a violent story? Why does the landowner keep extending grace? And why do the religious leaders get so defensive? Perhaps the answer to the questions is because the parable isn’t about Jesus defending his authority – it’s about us. Join the female pastors of First UMC of San Diego as they wrestle with: Why we should resist easy interpretation of Biblical parables The power dynamics between empire, authority, and faith Why grace feels unreasonable – and how to maintain hope when we struggle to extend it to others What defensiveness reveals about who we serve Lent invites us to honest self-examination. This week we ask: What makes you question authority? How can you question authority in ways that reflect God’s nonviolence and benevolence? How do you not become defensive when you’re being held accountable? Join us as we consider whether we are living as grateful tenants or defensive ones.

Why does comparison keep resetting our definition of success? What are the risks of wealth concentration?They discuss inequality, philanthropy, competing views of capitalism's current state, and how greed often shows up as self-justification. David makes the case for generosity as a stabilizing force in society—and shares how he's translated these beliefs into real, high-impact giving.The episode closes with a simple but unforgettable principle: the butterfly effect—small acts of generosity can change a life more than you'll ever know.Meet David David Roberts is a retired Partner of Angelo Gordon, where he joined in 1993, helping build and scale investment platforms across real estate, structured credit, and net lease.

He shares personal anecdotes about his career journey, emphasizing the significance of delayed gratification and the potential for career advancement through taking on additional responsibilities. Aaron encourages listeners to evaluate opportunities carefully and to consider the long-term benefits of growth within a supportive company culture.TakeawaysExperience can be more valuable than immediate financial gain.Delayed gratification often leads to greater personal and professional growth.It's important to evaluate the opportunities presented by employers.Taking on more responsibility can lead to significant career advancement.Not all companies are exploitative; many genuinely want to see their employees grow.A positive mindset can open doors to unexpected opportunities.Career growth often requires patience and perseverance.Financial compensation is just one aspect of career satisfaction.Building confidence and skills can be more rewarding than a quick raise.Evaluate the company culture before making career decisions.Sound bites"Don't just look at what's happening in the moment""I just wanted to share the other perspective""I hope that's impactful to you"Chapters00:00 Introduction to Sparking Success00:28 The Value of Experience Over Immediate Compensation01:06 Personal Growth Through Delayed Gratification04:43 Evaluating Opportunities for Career Advancement07:53 Final Thoughts on Growth and Responsibility

You know that feeling when you say, “He helps.” He does chores. He shows up. He's not checked out. And yet… you're still exhausted. If that's you, you are not ungrateful. You are not asking for too much. And you are not broken. In this episode, JoAnn sits down with comedian, actor, and author Jordan Carlos to talk about invisible work in marriage — what it really is, why “helping” still leaves one partner carrying the mental load, and what true responsibility sharing actually looks like in everyday family life. Because the problem isn't whether the dishes get done. The problem is who is still managing the fact that they need to get done. Jordan shares candidly about his own marriage, how COVID forced him to see the invisible labor his wife was carrying, and the mindset shift that moved him from “assistant” to actual partner. This conversation is honest, funny, and practical — and it will help you rethink how responsibility lives in your home. What We Cover in This Episode 1. What Invisible Work Really Is Invisible work isn't just chores. It's tracking schedules, noticing when you're low on toothpaste, remembering spirit days, and managing the emotional temperature of the house. When one partner carries the mental load — even if the other “helps” — burnout and resentment quietly build. 2. Why “Helping” Keeps One Person in Charge When someone helps, there is still a manager. Delegating Noticing Reminding Carrying responsibility if something falls through Jordan talks about the moment he realized he was “redundant” in his own home — and how that realization changed everything. 3. The Resentment Signal Resentment doesn't show up overnight. It builds in the sighs, the tension, and the feeling of being alone in daily life. Small shifts — like doing things without being asked — can dramatically lower that emotional temperature. 4. Responsibility Sharing vs. 50/50 What's equal isn't always fair. And what's fair isn't always equal. True partnership isn't about splitting every task down the middle. It's about shared ownership. It's about both adults seeing the home as theirs to steward. Jordan shares how stepping into responsibility — not waiting for instructions — shifted his marriage in meaningful ways. 5. Why Self-Care Supports Partnership When both partners take care of themselves, they show up better in the relationship. Responsibility sharing doesn't mean depletion. It means two adults who are capable, aware, and engaged. Why This Episode Matters So many overwhelmed moms feel guilty for wanting more support. “He does a lot already.” “I don't want to nag.” “Maybe this is just marriage.” But when invisible work stays invisible, emotional disconnection grows. This episode gives language to what you may have been feeling for years. It also gives you a starting place — not to control your partner, but to shift how responsibility is shared in your home. Partnership isn't about doing more. It's about no longer carrying it alone.

If mealtimes feel heavier than they should, this episode is going to make a lot click. I sit down with dietitians Diana and Dani to unpack how diet culture quietly slips into everyday parenting and shapes how kids see food, their bodies, and themselves. Their new book offers a roadmap for raising kids who trust their bodies and feel safe at the table, and our conversation goes far beyond picky eating. We talk about the language we use, the pressure we don't realize we're applying, and how small daily moments build a child's long-term relationship with food. What we discuss: Why diet culture starts affecting kids as early as preschool The “invisible curriculum” kids absorb from our modeling, messaging, and moments What food positivity actually means and how it goes beyond food neutrality How the Division of Responsibility supports trust and self-regulation Common ways parents accidentally misapply feeding advice Why labeling foods as good or bad backfires long term The connection between pressure, restriction, and future dieting patterns Reframing picky eaters as “learning eaters” Why fewer than 5 percent of so-called picky eaters are truly nutrient deficient How values like control vs connection influence feeding decisions Small shifts parents can make to protect a child's relationship with food To connect with Diana Rice follow her on Instagram @anti.diet.kids and check out all her resources at https://tinyseednutrition.com/  Follow Dani Lebowitz at @kid.food.explorers and visit her website: https://kidfoodexplorers.com/  Their new book “Food Positivity: How to Ditch Diet Culture and Talk to Kids About Food“ is available for pre-order https://www.amazon.com/Food-Positivity-Ditch-Culture-About/dp/1394335202?&linkCode=sl1&tag=dianakrice-20&linkId=cb9fdb7069f2f96a3f795cbd75485914&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl  Enjoy Diana Rice's first episode, “Your kid doesn't need a diet“ on the PedsDocTalk podcast. https://pedsdoctalk.com/podcast/your-kid-doesnt-need-a-diet-approaching-conversations-about-our-childs-weight-and-health-in-a-productive-way/  00:00 Welcome + What Is Food Positivity? 02:29 Meet Diana and Dani 04:24 How Diet Culture Starts in Early Childhood 06:09 The Invisible Curriculum: Modeling, Messaging, Moments 07:59 Food Positivity vs Food Neutrality 14:43 Division of Responsibility Made Simple 18:59 Why Red Light, Green Light Backfires 20:15 Felt Safety, Trust, and Confident Food Leadership 33:22 Rethinking “Picky Eating” as Learning Eating 38:10 Pressure, Restriction, and Self-Regulation 42:01 Small Shifts to Protect Your Child's Relationship with Food 48:43 Where to Get the Book + Final Takeaways Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.

So the question is… how committed is Trump to the deadline, and what options might he consider... diplomatic pressure, economic incentives, military involvement, or something else to try to achieve it?SPONSOR: Lear CapitalThe best way to invest in gold and silver is with Lear Capital.
