Are you feeling like time is moving incredibly fast and slow all at the same time? As we navigate these unprecedented times, this mid-year check-in helps you slow down, ground your energy, and see what is right in front of you. Join Robyn and Colleen Benelli to discover how to use Reiki to clear out the collective swirl and recognize the aligned new opportunities waiting for your soul. Key Insights Redefining Accomplishment: Our culture trains us to view manifestation only through physical or career status. Reiki invites you to go deeper because new opportunities can also be shifts toward self-care, healing, or creating simply for the joy of it. Eagle and Mouse Vision: True discernment requires using all parts of your awareness. While long-term "Eagle Vision" holds space for big life plans, daily "Mouse Vision" focuses on the single, practical step you can take right now. Aligning the System: To accurately asses opportunities, listen to your head, heart, gut, earth, and divine brains to make conscious choices. Microdosing Reiki: When your mind spins on complex to-do lists, the human self struggles to hear inner guidance. By "microdosing" Reiki on the fly, small breaths, or other quick practices, you shift instantly into deep listening. People Also Ask (FAQ) *How can I tell if a new opportunity is aligned with my path? Use Reiki for discernment by checking it against your current capacity and timing. Listen to your body, and what your logical mind, heart, and gut instinct reveal about your soul's truth. *What does it mean to "microdose" Reiki on the fly? Microdosing means using quick, accessible Reiki techniques to pause and reset during busy days. The four-finger breathing exercise, tapping your thumb to each finger sequentially while breathing, grounds your nervous system instantly. *Why do my manifestations and goals feel stuck or delayed? Sometimes delays mean your human timing does not match divine timing, or your current capacity. Reiki validates that altered timelines do not make your intentions wrong, they are just delayed.

Are you carrying hidden burdens that cloud your vision of the future? In this guided Reiki journey, Colleen Benelli leads you across the Bridge of Light and into the River of Peace to gently dissolve the anxiety, stress, and old stories holding you back. Step into the Field of Possibilities to clarify your next steps and open your awareness to the aligned opportunities presenting themselves in your life right now. Key Insights Somatic Release in the Fascia: High levels of collective stress accumulate physically within the human body's nervous system and fascia. Utilizing the purifying energy of Reiki at the River of Peace gently lifts away these energetic blockages, clearing out the underlying tension, anxiety, and doubt that obscure your true vision. Sovereignty Through Cord Detachment: Throughout our lives, we inadvertently maintain heavy cords, attachments, and expectations originating from ancestral history, cultural conditioning, or lived trauma. Activating the power of love and divine compassion allows you to dissolve these energetic attachments safely, reclaiming your personal sovereignty and opening up mental space for new pathways. The Butterfly Effect of Opportunities: Within the Field of Possibilities, every butterfly floating through the meadow represents a unique potential direction or creative idea. Some of these options are meant to be light daydreams, while others will directly approach you; learning to pause allows your body's innate intuition to discern which ones are meant for physical manifestation. Integrating Divine and Human Research: True spiritual manifestation relies on balance; you must successfully bridge the metaphysical insights gained in the higher realms with real-world execution. Bringing your "divine research" back across the Bridge of Light into your lower chakras ensures your highest insights are securely anchored into logical, everyday action. People Also Ask (FAQ) What is the 'Tree of Life' meditation in Reiki? The Tree of Life meditation is a practice used to establish structural stability and alignment. It serves as a powerful conduit, allowing you to stay balanced and securely rooted into the earth's light while simultaneously opening your heart and soul star to receive higher divine compassion from above. How do I use automatic writing during a guided meditation? Automatic writing involves relaxing your analytical focus and letting a pen move across paper immediately following or during a meditation. By bypassing the logical human mind, this practice brings forward direct, uncensored guidance regarding the exact timing and practical reality of your future goals. Why should I combine my logical mind with intuitive guidance? True discernment blends your internal guidance with your human guidance (instincts and lower chakras) and your divine guidance (upper chakras). When your logical human mind communicates seamlessly with your heart and soul's knowledge, you gain the clarity necessary to choose authentic paths over passing daydreams.

Most service business owners are chasing the next lead source. Google Ads. Facebook Ads. AI. SEO. Automation. But sometimes the fastest way to grow is still the most old-school strategy in the book: getting out into your community, shaking hands, building trust, and making sure people remember your brand. In this episode of Service Business Mastery, Tersh Blissett and Joshua Crouch sit down with Chuck Worley, owner of Worley's Home Services, to talk about branding, networking, reputation, and the real-world grind behind building a service business people know, trust, and refer. Chuck shares his journey from struggling in school to building a career in HVAC sales, starting and losing a business, rebuilding from bankruptcy, paying back debts he was no longer legally required to pay, and eventually growing Worley's Home Services into a $17 million company. He also breaks down why branding is not just about a logo, why standing out matters, and how his orange and green jackets became a memorable part of his local brand. They also discuss: How Chuck went from HVAC technician to top-performing comfort advisor Why sales changed his life and gave him a path forward The painful lessons from bankruptcy and rebuilding from zero Why reputation matters more than almost anything in business How Chuck used networking to grow his company without relying only on digital marketing Why your brand needs to be memorable, even if people think it looks ridiculous How local chambers, BNI groups, and business events can generate real relationships Why referrals still matter in a world obsessed with AI and ads How Chuck used small acquisitions and owner financing to grow Why being the "power connector" in your market can create long-term growth How service business owners can start networking even if they feel uncomfortable If you are a service business owner who wants to build a brand people remember, generate more referrals, and grow through real relationships, this episode is a practical, no-BS playbook.

Join this deep conversation about what empathy really looks like in our institutions, our communities, and our leadership—especially at a time when empathy feels both urgent and under pressure.Dr. Terri Givens has been doing this work long before it became a headline or a corporate initiative. Terri is a Professor of Political Science at the University of British Columbia, and from 2021 to 2024, she served as the Provost's Advisor on the Strategy to Address Anti-Black Racism at McGill University. She is the former CEO of the Center for Higher Education Leadership and has partnered with colleges, universities, and ed-tech companies to drive innovation, equity, and excellence in higher education.Terri is the author of the new book, Reckoning: Creating Positive Change through Radical Empathy, as well as her past book, Radical Empathy: Finding a Path to Bridging Racial Divides. Her new book takes her work even further into how individuals and institutions can confront history and move toward meaningful change.Terri shares stories of early work at IBM, Intel, and L'Oréal Canada that both strengthened culture and moved the bottom line. She also speaks about her collaboration with the Menlo Park Police Department, where empathy became a practical tool for healing divides, improving communication, and synthesizing multiple perspectives across the city council, police, and the community. Terri shows us that empathy isn't a buzzword, a trend, or a “nice to have” in today's polarized world—it's a leadership competency, a community-building tool, and a catalyst for true connection and accountability.To access the episode transcript, go to www.TheEmpathyEdge.com, search by episode title.Listen in for…Where we actually are today in our quest for empathetic leadership and more human social systems, what's shifted since her first book, and what still needs to be done.The essential role empathy plays in DEIB and race relations, and why DEI is not some new concept from 2020. Real tactical guidance for how to create brave and safe spaces in your team or community. "Creating a brave and safe space was really important so that we weren't just attacking what the police were doing. It had to be an environment where we were trying to uplift rather than tear down." — Terri Givens Episode References: The Empathy Edge Podcast: Terri Givens: Radical Empathy to Bridge Racial DividesAbout Terri Givens, Professor and Author of Reckoning and Radical Empathy:Terri Givens is a Professor of Political Science at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.

10 Commonly Misunderstood Insurance Terms Explained Episode 389 – Sometimes people get confused by all the jargon used in the financial services industry. It's difficult to understand what you're buying—or what you already have—if you don't understand the language being used. Here is a quick listing of ten terms, commonly used in the life insurance industry, that you might not fully understand. More SML Planning Minute Podcast Episodes Transcript of Podcast Episode 389 Hello, this is Bill Rainaldi, with another edition of Security Mutual's SML Planning Minute. In today's episode: we explain 10 commonly misunderstood life insurance terms. Sometimes people get confused by all the jargon used in the financial services industry, and life insurance is no exception. It can be difficult to understand what you're buying—or what you already have—if you don't understand the language being used. Here is a quick listing of 10 terms, commonly used in the life insurance industry, that are helpful to have a basic understanding of: Underwriting. Before making any sort of offer to you, a life insurance company may need to evaluate your health. For example, life insurance companies generally check to see whether you are a tobacco user or not. A nonsmoker generally has a longer life expectancy than a smoker and thus will often qualify for a better rate and reduce the cost. On the other hand, smoker or not, if you're in particularly poor health, the company may not be able to offer you coverage at all. Beneficiary. Life insurance policies will usually list a beneficiary. That is the person—or entity—who receives the life insurance policy's death benefit if the insured dies. Note that any beneficiary designation under a life insurance policy is separate from beneficiary designations in your will. You could leave your entire estate to your children via your will, but if someone else is the beneficiary of your life insurance policy, that person receives the proceeds. The owner of the policy has the right to change the beneficiary (or beneficiaries) as their needs or desires change and it is recommended to review all of your beneficiaries annually or during any change to your planning strategy. Term Life Insurance. Term life insurance is the simplest form of life insurance. You will pay a premium that covers a specific term of years. 10, 20 or 30 years are common terms for one of these policies. If you die during the designated term, your beneficiary will receive the death benefit. It is generally used when you have a temporary need for insurance, such as paying off a mortgage or funding your child's college education if you're no longer there. Permanent Life Insurance. Unlike a term policy, permanent life insurance is designed to provide lifetime coverage. With most policies, as long as you pay your premiums, the policy stays in force for life, and the death benefit is guaranteed by the insurance company. It also usually provides a cash value. An example of permanent insurance is whole life insurance. Cash Value. With many permanent life insurance policies such as a whole life insurance policy, part of your premium pays the cost of the death benefit, and part of it goes into an account inside the policy and grows on a tax-deferred basis. As a policyowner, you have the right to access these funds if you wish via loans or withdrawals. The funds could potentially be used for major expenditures or cash emergencies if needed. Dividends. It's not just your stock portfolio that can pay dividends; your life insurance policy might do so as well. Life insurance dividends are usually associated with mutual life insurance companies such as Security Mutual Life. Dividends are distributed to policyholders from the insurer’s surplus earnings. They are not guaranteed. Grace Period. This is essentially an automatic safety net that exists on every life insurance policy. If you miss a premium payment, you generally have an extra 30 days past the due date before the policy lapses to pay your premium. And, if you die during the grace period, the full death benefit is payable, although there may be a deduction for any missed premium.[1] Paid-Up Additions. Paid-up additions are like miniature life insurance policies within a whole life insurance policy. Each paid-up addition adds a little bit of extra paid-up death benefit and guaranteed cash value to your policy without ongoing premium. Paid-up additions are often created through a whole life policy rider, although if you have a dividend-paying policy, you might be able to choose to take your dividends as paid-up additions. Since paid-up additions are fully paid up portions of death benefit, they can be surrendered for needed cash by the policyowner, or to pay the policy's premiums, if needed. Doing so will reduce the guaranteed cash value and death benefit.  Accelerated Death Benefit. This allows you to receive a portion of the death benefit while you are still living and is often made available as a rider assigned to specific circumstances such as chronic, critical or terminal illness. It is designed to help provide access to cash for medical bills, nursing care, or other costs associated with the qualifying event. If the advance payout from the life insurance policy is due to terminal illness, it is usually exempt from income taxes.[2],[3] In many circumstances, an accelerated death benefit rider is a simple add-on to a life insurance policy with no separate charge. And finally… Chronic Illness Rider. A chronic illness rider is a type of accelerated death benefit rider that gives you access to part of your death benefit while you are still alive. To take advantage of a chronic illness rider, you need to be certified by a doctor as someone who is ill and not expected to recover. In many cases you will be eligible if you are unable to perform at least two of the six “Activities of Daily Living,” or ADLs, without assistance. These include things like bathing, getting dressed, eating, etc.[4] All these terms can be very confusing. Some may be applicable to you; some may not. The good news is that, if you're contemplating a new life insurance policy, you don't need to go it alone. Your Security Mutual Life insurance agent can help. Your Security Mutual Life insurance agent can augment or help assemble your planning team. They'll coordinate with your attorney and tax professional to review your situation and to determine the insurance plan that will best suit your needs and objectives.

I used to think something was wrong with me. I'd sit there knowing a task mattered — knowing it mattered yesterday, last week, last month — and still couldn't get myself to move on it. For years I asked myself the wrong question: why isn't this getting done? The better question, it turns out, is what does my brain actually need to get started? That question changed everything, and it's where SPARK came from.Story. I'm a story person. I don't care that a bird exists — I care about the three hours I spent finding it. When I'm stuck on a task, I ask what's interesting about it, not what needs to get done. Curiosity creates momentum that obligation never will.Purpose. Abstract tasks mean nothing until there's a real person on the other side of them. Whether it's an IT ticket or a podcast episode that isn't coming together, I think about who actually needs this and why — and the task shifts even though the work doesn't.Adventure. Not everything can be an adventure (folding laundry is still folding laundry), but a lot of tasks can become small experiments instead of obligations. Possibility is motivating in a way duty never is.Reality. This one needs care, because it's easy to slide from reality into fear. Fear says you'll end up broken and miss out on life. Reality says every choice is a small vote for the future you're building. I'd rather feed the tiger that's still hiking at 80 than the one that isn't.Kickstart. Some days none of the above works. On those days, the only question that matters is: what's the smallest next possible step? Mow the front yard, not the whole lawn. Put on your shoes, not your whole workout. Starting is the hard part — once you start, momentum tends to take over.You don't need all five letters every time. Pick whichever one fits the moment, and let it do its job. Most of us aren't waking up already disciplined and on fire — and that's not a flaw, that's just being human.If you've been stuck on something, I'd love to know which letter of SPARK actually got you moving.

What if one of the most important health crises affecting men today wasn't being caused by aging, but by the environment we live in? In this eye-opening solo episode, Darin Olien investigates the alarming decline in testosterone levels, fertility, and reproductive health among men worldwide. Drawing on decades of research, epidemiological studies, environmental science, endocrinology, and public health data, Darin examines the growing evidence connecting endocrine-disrupting chemicals, microplastics, sleep deprivation, chronic stress, poor lifestyle habits, and environmental toxins to declining testosterone levels across generations. From BPA, phthalates, atrazine, PFAS, and microplastics to sleep quality, circadian rhythms, cholesterol metabolism, cortisol regulation, and natural testosterone-supporting strategies, this episode explores what may be one of the most underreported public health issues of our time—and what men can do to take control of their health today.     What You'll Learn Why testosterone levels have been declining for decades The startling research on global sperm count decline How endocrine-disrupting chemicals interfere with hormone production Why BPA and phthalates may disrupt testosterone synthesis The role of atrazine, PFAS, and environmental toxins How chronic stress diverts resources away from testosterone production Why sleep may be the most important testosterone intervention The connection between cholesterol and hormone production How microplastics are being found throughout the human body The surprising relationship between statins and testosterone levels Natural lifestyle strategies that support healthy hormone production Practical steps to reduce environmental exposure and improve health     Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Fatty15 and cellular health 00:04:17 – The testosterone collapse explained 00:04:51 – Testosterone levels have been declining for decades 00:06:03 – Global sperm count decline and accelerating trends 00:07:02 – Why treating symptoms misses the root cause 00:07:27 – The hidden public health crisis 00:08:03 – Why low testosterone isn't just about aging 00:09:12 – Why hormone health affects longevity 00:09:53 – Low testosterone and increased mortality risk 00:10:35 – Testosterone's role in metabolism and cardiovascular health 00:11:27 – Endocrine-disrupting chemicals and hormone disruption 00:12:44 – BPA and its effects on testosterone production 00:13:59 – Phthalates and their impact on hormone pathways 00:16:00 – Glyphosate, atrazine, and pesticide exposure 00:17:07 – PFAS and reproductive health concerns 00:17:55 – Environmental toxins and population-wide effects 00:18:11 – Sponsor: Shakeology 00:20:02 – Cholesterol and hormone production 00:20:53 – Chronic stress and cortisol dominance 00:21:45 – Actionable solutions begin 00:21:56 – Why sleep is essential for testosterone production 00:23:07 – How sleep deprivation rapidly lowers testosterone 00:23:21 – Light pollution and circadian disruption 00:23:41 – Foods and nutrients needed for hormone health 00:24:23 – Microplastics and testicular tissue 00:24:53 – Statins and unintended hormonal consequences 00:25:39 – A practical testosterone sovereignty protocol 00:25:48 – Water filtration and reducing toxic exposure 00:26:13 – Eliminating plastics and fragrance chemicals 00:26:35 – Why organic food matters 00:26:45 – Sunlight and vitamin D 00:27:05 – Magnesium, omega-3s, and iodine 00:27:26 – Pine pollen and natural androgen support 00:28:01 – Tongkat Ali and ashwagandha 00:28:48 – Strength training and lifestyle interventions 00:29:10 – Habits that naturally support testosterone 00:29:27 – Darin's approach to healthy aging 00:29:37 – Plants, herbs, and common sense 00:29:51 – Reclaiming your health and sovereignty 00:30:00 – Final thoughts and closing message     Thank You to Our Sponsors Fatty15: Get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to fatty15.com/DARIN and using code DARIN at checkout.

It may be a reflection of the modern environment itself—one increasingly saturated with endocrine-disrupting chemicals, chronic stress, poor sleep, circadian disruption, and toxic exposures. While many of these forces feel outside our control, the encouraging reality is that many of the most powerful interventions remain accessible: improving sleep, reducing toxic load, eating whole foods, getting sunlight, managing stress, exercising regularly, and reclaiming responsibility for our health. The goal isn't fear. The goal is awareness—and action."     Bibliography/Sources: The Decline — Primary Research Levine, H., Jørgensen, N., Martino-Andrade, A., et al. (2022).

Potential means nothing without execution. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why talent alone will never build wealth, freedom, or a real legacy. Let's be real… Being smart is not enough. Being gifted is not enough. Having people tell you that you have massive potential is not enough. If you never execute… It does not matter. In this episode, you'll learn: Why potential is just unearned equity How relying on natural talent can become a dangerous trap Why discipline beats raw ability when the work gets hard How daily execution turns potential into real results The truth is simple: The market does not pay you for what you could do. It pays you for what you actually build. It pays you for problems solved. Value created. Results delivered. And consistency proven over time. Most people with potential stay stuck because they fall in love with the idea of what they could become. High-level operators do not live off compliments. They put in the reps. They do the unglamorous work. They prove it daily. Because effort will always beat talent when talent refuses to work. Stop talking about what you could do. Get your hands in the dirt. Build something real. And keep leveling up. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

Welcome back to Living Your Truth with Tavares.This is Season 11, Episode 6.Today we're talking about something that every person wants, but very few people intentionally create:Clarity.Clarity about your life.Clarity about your purpose.Clarity about your relationships.Clarity about your next steps.Clarity about who you are becoming.And if we're honest, one of the most frustrating feelings in life is confusion.Not knowing what to do.Not knowing what decision to make.Not knowing who to trust.Not knowing what direction to take.Confusion creates anxiety.Confusion creates hesitation.Confusion creates fear.But here's what I've learned:Clarity isn't something you find.Clarity is something you create.Most people are waiting for clarity to arrive.They're waiting for the perfect sign.The perfect opportunity.The perfect answer.But clarity often emerges through action, reflection, and honesty.Today we're going to talk about how clarity shapes every aspect of life, why so many people struggle to find it, and practical ways to develop it for yourself.LYTTavares A Garrett Links⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/tavaresagarrett⁠⁠Amazon Books by TAG Publishing⁠https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B08778562H⁠The Body Synthesis Mind, Body, Nutrition, Results. ⁠Body Synthesis - Mind, Body, Spirit, Nutrition, Results.⁠The Body Synthesis Store Link ⁠https://payhip.com/thebodysynthesis⁠The Black Love Xperience Podcast hosted by Am & T ⁠https://anchor.fm/black-love-xperienc⁠ TAG MGMT Media Coverage Activations⁠www.tagmgmt.net

The United States Military Academy at West Point is the foundation of the US Army. Along the cliffs, through the halls, and on the fields America's best and brightest are trained to lead not just soldiers, but America. But behind the tradition and pageantry, West Point understands that athletics of any level create disciplined warriors prepared to lead in any situation. In this episode, Fran Racioppi sat down with Tom Theodorakis, Director of Athletics at West Point, to discuss how one of the most respected athletic programs in the country directly supports the mission of the United States Military Academy and helps develop the next generation of Army leaders.With more than 30 Division I programs and over 1,200 cadet-athletes, Tom explains what makes Army West Point different from every other program in college athletics. Cadet-athletes are not just balancing Division 1 sports and rigorous academics; they are simultaneously preparing to become officers in the United States Army where they will lead soldiers and shape national security strategy for decades to come.We discuss the demanding reality of being a cadet-athlete, the recruiting process, and what it takes to attract elite competitors to an institution built around service before self.Tom also addresses the realities behind funding Army athletics, correcting the misconception that the program is fully government funded, and explaining how external support and partnerships help sustain the mission of Army West Point Athletics.Finally, we discuss the opportunities available to cadet-athletes after graduation, including pathways to world-class and professional athletics, and most importantly serving as officers in the United States Army.Highlights0:00 Introduction2:09 Welcome to the Jedburgh Podcast3:43 Athletic Director Responsibility6:01 Recruiting Athletes to West Point8:31 Competing at the D1 Level11:14 Funding Athletics12:06 NIL Impact13:08 Defining Sustainability14:04 West Point Cadet-Athlete Experience18:18 West Point Pro Athletes19:58 Coaching Cadet-Athletes22:54 Creating Warriors25:26 Defining Success26:50 Cadet to LieutenantQuotes:“It's very humbling and also a tremendous responsibility .”“We want to win.

In this episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn Simmons responds to Peter Attia's breast cancer screening episode (#396). Attia asks the right question: why are 42,000 women still dying of breast cancer every year? But his answer, more mammograms and MRI on top, is exactly wrong. Dr. Jenn breaks down, study by study, why that 40-year approach has never moved the death toll.Forty-two thousand women a year. That number has not moved since mammography went mainstream in the 1980s. Detection rates are up, diagnoses are up, and the death toll has not changed. We have been finding more cancer, calling more women patients, and watching the same number of them die. If you have ever scheduled your annual mammogram believing it was the most protective thing you could do, this episode will reframe everything you thought you knew.What You'll LearnWhy the breast cancer death toll has not moved in 40 years, and why more screening is the reasonWhy DCIS is not cancer, why mammography invented it, and what happens to a woman the moment it gets labeled "stage zero"Why an aggressive tumor is aggressive from the day it forms, and why finding it earlier on a mammogram does not change what it does nextWhy mammography catches the cancers least likely to kill you, and routinely misses the ones that willWhat happened when researchers followed 89,835 women for 25 years and compared annual mammography to doing nothing, and why you have never heard about itWhat the Cochrane review found after analyzing every randomized mammography trial ever run, and why Peter Attia addressed it in one sentenceWhy the WISDOM trial, the most significant recent evidence in this space and the one study Attia never mentions, is an indictment of everything he arguedWhy there is no standard radiation dose for a mammogram, and why the woman next to you in the waiting room may have received ten times less than you didWhat the FDA has formally documented about gadolinium staying in the brain and bones for years, and why the women being told to get it every six months are the last women who shouldWhy insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and toxic burden are among the most powerful drivers of breast cancer risk, and why Attia's episode contained zero mention of any of themResources MentionedPeter Attia, Episode 396 on breast cancer screening: peterattiamd.com/breastcancerscreeningDr. Robin Berzin, founder of Parsley HealthMiller AB, et al.

In this spirited episode, the challenges and paradoxes of modern leadership are brought to the forefront, grounded in the world of philanthropy. My guest this week, Glen Galaich, author of the provocative book Control: Why Big Giving Falls Short and CEO of the Stupski Foundation, invites listeners to reconsider the myths surrounding control, generosity, and decision-making. He makes the compelling case about how organizational norms, incentives, and personal ego can unintentionally limit positive impact, even in the most purpose-driven organizations.During out discussion, we reflect on tough questions: What's the real difference between intentions and measurable outcomes? How do process, relationships, and results shape lasting change? Through first-hand stories and data, this episode reveals how well-meaning leaders too often mistake intention for impact and how letting go of control, building clear processes, and inviting feedback can dramatically enhance outcomes.For executives, nonprofit leaders, and anyone invested in meaningful change, this episode offers actionable advice: embrace self-awareness, question inherited processes, and trust the people closest to the work. It's a call to action for listeners to examine their own patterns and to move beyond good intentions to do good by leading well.What You'll Learn- The importance of letting go of control for greater impact.- Rethinking thoughtful giving.- Process, results, relationships: The leadership triad.- The temptation of control when doing good.- The power of systems, incentives, and leadership norms.- Lead with empathy across difference.- The critical role of self-awareness: Feedback as a gift.Podcast Timestamps(00:00) – Welcome to the Show and Guest Introduction(00:03:13) - The Motivation Behind "Control"(00:10:00) - Control, Psychological Safety, and Power in Leadership(00:14:29) - Process, Results, Relationships: The Leadership Triad(00:17:38) - Misconceptions and Accountability in Leadership(00:22:04) - The Temptation of Control When Doing Good(00:30:02) - Leading with Empathy Across Differences(00:34:14) - Systems, Incentives, and Leadership Norms(00:38:16) - The Critical Role of Self-Awareness(00:42:59) - Leading Through Uncertainty(00:47:33) - Key Mindset Shifts: Moving from Intention to ImpactKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Philanthropy, Thoughtful Giving, Community Engagement, Control Mindset, Process in Organizations, Psychological Safety, Accountability, Feedback, Ego in Leadership, Power Dynamics, Self Awareness, Organizational Culture, Social Impact, Norms and Incentives, Empathy, Letting Go, Impact versus Intention, CEO Success

Are you feeling the rapid shift of the 2026 cosmic energies? In this mid-year solstice check-in, Colleen and Robyn Benelli invite you to pause and answer a profound question: "What do you know now that you didn't know then?" Discover how to use Reiki to assess your current energetic capacity, align your divine mind, and gently release old belief systems without self-judgment. Key Insights Expanding Your Capacity to Receive: In our fast-paced world, your spiritual capacity is naturally expanding to match the new frequencies developing on the planet. Reiki helps you discern your unique state, whether you are comfortably sustaining your current level or actively growing to receive greater divine guidance and manifestation flow. Honoring Your True Timing: Celebrate your progress over the past six months is away to honor your present state and earned wisdom. Embracing deep inner honesty aligns you with your natural personal cycles, allowing you to support the gestation periods of your intentions. Thriving in the Beautiful Unknown: Moving forward with curiosity allows your spiritual goals to build naturally over time. Embracing the peaceful truth that "it is okay to not know" opens the door to receiving and brings deep relief to your mind. Whole-Body Alignment: Utilizing Reiki harmonizes your entire being by aligning your divine mind, encompassing your head, heart, and gut, with your earth mind. This perfectly balances and anchors higher frequencies directly into your physical form, empowering you to step forward with grounded clarity. People Also Ask, FAQ How can Reiki help me check in mid-year? Reiki provides a safe space of higher consciousness that cultivates deep inner honesty without self-criticism. It allows you to look back calmly at the past six months, observe what is true for you right now, and update your personal intentions based on your current energy and capacity. What does it mean to override the body's truth in manifestation? Overriding the body's truth happens when you let external pressure dictate your actions instead of honoring your true capacity. When you force progress during a natural period of rest or evaluation, it can cause mental burnout; Reiki helps you listen somatically to align your goals with physical and spiritual reality. How do you microdose Reiki on the fly? Microdosing Reiki involves bringing the energy into your busy daily life using quick, intentional pauses. You can chant or think the Reiki precepts ("Just for today, I let go of worry"), send the energy using your breath and eyes, or briefly focus your awareness inward to recalibrate your mind in the middle of a frantic day.

Embrace the energy of the solstice cycle change to realign your spirit and steps. In this session, Robyn Benelli shares a Reiki Journey designed to help you pause, listen, gather, and update your intentions with inner honesty. Discover how whole-body listening and automatic writing activate your divine mind, heart mind, and gut mind to reveal your life-giving path forward. Key Insights The Power of the Grounded Pause: Taking a moment to step out of daily pressure creates a sacred space for your true wisdom to rise. Activating Reiki during a pause shifts you out of striving and opens you to receive love and guidance. Activating Your Multiple Minds: True alignment occurs when you listen on a deeper level across your whole self. Activating your divine mind, head mind, heart mind, gut mind, and earth mind synchronizes your intuition and intellect, allowing you to process life experiences with massive clarity. Information in Every Experience: Every aspect of your journey carries valuable data for your soul's evolution. Inspiration, resistance, delays, fatigue, and joy are all filled with information that helps you understand exactly what you need and what you are ready for right now. Updating Intention as Alignment: Your dreams naturally grow stronger when they include your current truth and respect your present capacity. Updating your intention releases old, mismatched pressures and delivers a life-giving, honest path forward that matches your timeline. People Also Ask, FAQ What is the Pause, Listen, Gather, and Move Forward Reiki method? It is a structured Reiki practice that can be done as a deep journey or quickly on the fly. By pausing to activate Reiki, listening with your whole body, gathering wisdom from your experiences, and updating your intentions, you can confidently choose an honest next step aligned with your current capacity. How do you use automatic writing during a Reiki journey? Automatic writing is a practice where you activate the Reiki flow and allow questions or guidance to stream through your pen without analytical filtering. It serves as a beautiful tool during the "listening" and "gathering" phases to capture the quiet, authentic truth of your energy and your guides. Why is updating an intention considered an act of alignment in Reiki? Because you are a completely different person now than you were at the beginning of a cycle. Updating your intention allows your goals to evolve alongside your personal growth, ensuring that your path remains grounded, honest, and perfectly matched to your current capacity and true timing.

Most contractors think branding is about logos, colors, and marketing. It's not. The strongest brands in the trades do something much more powerful: they attract great employees, create loyal customers, and make growth easier. In this episode of Service Business Mastery, Tersh Blissett and Joshua Crouch sit down with Levi Torres, founder of High 5 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric, to discuss how consistent branding became the foundation for one of Colorado's fastest-growing home service companies. What started as a simple idea—a high five at the end of every service call—evolved into a recognizable brand that helps attract top talent, improve retention, and create a culture employees are proud to be part of. Levi shares how High 5 uses social media, training systems, operational consistency, and employee development to build a company that technicians actively want to join. They discuss: • Why branding is a recruiting tool, not just a marketing tool • How company culture influences hiring success • The power of consistency in building trust • Why social media has become a recruiting engine • Creating clear career paths for technicians • Building training systems that support growth • How documentation makes scaling easier • Expanding into HVAC and electrical without losing culture • The role of AI in coaching and employee development • Why employee experience directly impacts customer experience If you're struggling to hire quality people, improve retention, or scale your service business, this episode will show you how a strong brand can solve more problems than you think.

G7 leaders welcomed the deal between the United States and Iran and praised President Donald Trump for achieving a diplomatic breakthrough. In a meeting with Egyptian President El-Sisi, Trump warned Iran of the consequences if they don't get along, saying the United States would continue "shooting at them and dropping bombs on their heads."

Kevin Hern (R-Okla.) secured the Republican nomination for an open U.S. Senate seat, while Alabama Rep. Barry Moore (R-Ala.) won the Republican Senate runoff.The FBI says it has disrupted a plot to deploy drones and snipers targeting last weekend's UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House. It comes amid a string of threats against Trump and senior officials. Vice President JD Vance condemned the plot while urging people to tone down rhetoric encouraging violence. The investigation into the alleged plot is still ongoing, and the Secret Service says there are still suspects at large and that they will keep working until everyone has been identified and held accountable.

It comes after the PROTECT trial and it's the first approval of a disease-modifying therapy for stage 3 T1D. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/breakthrough-t1d-celebrates-approval-of-tzield-for-use-in-stage-3-type-1-diabetes-in-the-us-302799532.html XX Encouraging results from a small study of islet cell transplantation in people with type 1 where now all 12 participants in the trial are currently living without external insulin after receiving transplanted insulin-producing islet cells.   The study, led by researchers at the University of Chicago, tested an experimental immune therapy called tegoprubart Te-GO-Proo-Bart. The drug is designed to prevent the body from rejecting transplanted cells while avoiding some of the side effects associated with standard anti-rejection medications. You've probably heard about this as the Eledon study – many of the participants have been very active on social media. It was presented at ADA. transplants.https://www.breakthrought1d.org/news-and-updates/tegoprubart-islet-transplant-all-participants-off-external-insulin/ XX New data suggest that acmopatide (ack-MOW-puh-tyd) (CT-868), an experimental once-daily dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist, may help people with type 1 diabetes improve blood sugar control, lose weight, and reduce insulin use. Across all doses, participants lost up to 7% of their body weight and reduced insulin use by as much as 15%. The study lasted just 16 weeks, so researchers say longer-term data will be needed to determine whether the benefits can be maintained and whether lower insulin requirements can be achieved without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia. XX A new combination therapy that pairs an amylin analog with semaglutide improved both blood sugar levels and weight loss in several groups of people with type 2 diabetes. The once-weekly injectable, known as CagriSema (KAG-ruh-SEM-uh), was evaluated in three Phase 3 REIMAGINE studies. In people early in the course of type 2 diabetes, researchers reported A1C reductions of up to 1.8 percentage points and significant weight loss compared to placebo after 40 weeks of treatment. Investigators also noted improvements in several cardiometabolic risk factors, including blood pressure. https://www.medpagetoday.com/meetingcoverage/ada/121658 XX Stelo for kids is now FDA cleared.. the over the counter Glucose Biosensor System is now approved for children as young as 2 years old who do not use insulin. The FDA identified pediatric prediabetes as a growing public health concern motivating the expanded indication, noting OTC CGMs can help younger users and their caregivers build glycemic awareness, track patterns in response to me https://www.hcplive.com/view/fda-clears-first-otc-glucose-monitor-for-children XX Insulet presented new data from its STRIVE and EVOLUTION 3 studies showing improved glucose control with its next-generation Omnipod 6. That's , the company's upcoming hybrid closed-loop system for people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The main difference between the Omnipod 6 and Insulet's current Omnipod 5 patch pumps is that the new system has a lower glucose target of 100 mg/dL and better Bluetooth connectivity Insulet also shared progress on a fully closed-loop system designed specifically for type 2 diabetes. It  does not require carb-counting or insulin bolusing ahead of meals. Physicians also don't need to program the starting settings.   XX Abbott shared new research highlighting challenges in identifying and managing diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The studies coincide with the company's development of Libre Duo, a dual glucose-ketone sensor that continuously tracks both measurements. Abbott reported that DKA can be difficult to recognize when patients first arrive at the hospital, based on data from more than 100,000 people. The company has submitted the dual sensor to the FDA and recently received CE Mark approval in Europe. More news from ADA including info from Dexcom, Sequel, Sensonics and the world loses a tireless T1D advocate.. that's all to come right after this. --   Back to the news.. XX   Dexcom announced its acquisition of Nutrisense, a company that combines continuous glucose monitoring with nutrition coaching and behavioral support. At ADA, the company also presented results from the CONNECT study showing significant A1C reductions and improved glucose control in people with type 2 diabetes not using insulin. The findings add to growing evidence supporting CGM use beyond intensive insulin therapy. We did an episode with CEO Jake Leach at ADA about these announcements as well as updates on G8, their hospital product and much more. XX Sequel Med Tech reported positive clinical results evaluating its twiist automated insulin delivery system in people with type 2 diabetes. The study showed improvements in A1C and time in range over 13 weeks XX Senseonics presented new real-world data supporting the performance of its Eversense 365 implantable CGM. The analysis included more than 12,000 sensors and demonstrated sustained accuracy and effectiveness in both open-loop and automated insulin delivery settings. Researchers also evaluated Eversense use with Sequel Med Tech's twiist system. The findings support broader use of long-term implantable CGM technology.   -- MiniMed used ADA 2026 to spotlight two recently cleared diabetes management systems. The MiniMed Flex pump offers a smaller, smartphone-controlled insulin pump option, while MiniMed Go combines the InPen smart insulin pen with Abbott's Instinct sensor. The products received FDA clearance earlier this year. XX Tandem Diabetes Care highlighted data supporting the use of its Control-IQ automated insulin delivery technology during pregnancy. Results from the CIRCUIT trial showed users spent approximately three additional hours per day in the recommended pregnancy glucose range compared with standard therapy. The findings helped support recent regulatory approvals for pregnancy use in both Europe and the United States. Tandem also expanded indications for adults with type 2 diabetes. XX Beta Bionics presented real-world data from the first three years of iLet Bionic Pancreas use. The company reported a 25% improvement in time in range among users, along with positive feedback from clinicians about simplified diabetes management. The iLet system requires only a user's weight to begin therapy and eliminates carbohydrate counting. Beta Bionics also highlighted growing access to near-real-time outcomes through its public data dashboard. XX MannKind presented new findings supporting its Afrezza inhaled insulin at ADA 2026. A post-hoc analysis of the INHALE-1 study found that pediatric users reported greater treatment satisfaction compared with those using rapid-acting injected insulin. The results come shortly after FDA approval expanded Afrezza's indication to include children. We did a bonus episode with one of the lead investigators of the study that lead to that approval. XX Adaptyx presented early clinical data supporting a wearable sensor that continuously measures cortisol levels. The device successfully tracked cortisol changes during both controlled testing and overnight monitoring in first-in-human studies. Company leaders say cortisol plays a major role in conditions including diabetes, hypertension, and depression. The technology uses synthetic DNA-based molecular switches to generate real-time readings.   XX Biolinq shared new clinical findings for its Shine continuous glucose monitoring system. The needle-free device combines glucose monitoring with activity and sleep tracking .The system received FDA clearance in 2025. They're also looking at measuring lactate through the sensor. XX Long-time T1D advocate Kent Schnakenberg died last week. Schnakenberg was known in his community for using his love of bicycling to raise awareness of Type 1 diabetes. He also advocated for improving the lives of those living with the disease. Inspired by his niece, Michelle, who was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes when she was 13 years old, since 2014 he has traveled around the country cycling thousands of miles, speaking to hundreds and hundreds of kids and raising Money. According to Schnakenberg's family, he suffered a head trauma incident in his home on Wednesday. I spoke to Kent years ago – I believe the first year of the podcast. A sad loss but wonderful to see so many tributes and memories posted on social media in the last few days. https://diabetes-connections.com/john-costik-co-creator-of-nightscout-team-schnak/ https://www.wibw.com/2026/06/12/team-schnak-founder-kent-schnakenberg-passes-away/ XX And finally. Alexander Zverev (ts-ver-uhv) won the French Open, his first Grand Slam title. He lives with type 1, he paused a couple of time to check his blood sugar. He was diagnosed at age 4 and partners with Medtronic. "Becoming a professional tennis player was always my dream," Zverev shared in an article posted by Medtronic. "Early on, I was told that competing at the highest level with diabetes was impossible — but my family and I refused to accept that. That's why I'm partnering with Medtronic Diabetes: I want every person with diabetes to feel empowered to live the life they want." He also has a foundation committed to children with type 1 diabetes. Among other things, the life-saving insulin and other essential drugs are provided – also in developing countries." https://www.mensjournal.com/news/alexander-zverev-diabetes-wins-french-open-2026-medical-condition

Dealing with the Latest Financial Trend: Spending Your Kids' Inheritance Episode 388 – Financial trends come and go, but the latest, “SKI,” or Spending Kids' Inheritance, is likely to have a lasting impact. Are you prepared? There are some ways to learn how to “SKI” without getting hurt. More SML Planning Minute Podcast Episodes Transcript of Podcast Episode 388 Hello, this is Bill Rainaldi, with another edition of Security Mutual's SML Planning Minute. In today's episode, dealing with the latest financial trend: spending your kids' inheritance. Have you heard of the latest movement in personal finance? It's called “SKI,” or “Spending Kids' Inheritance.” Not surprisingly, it can create conflict across generations. It wasn't that long ago that people commonly followed the same financial plan: save money during your high earning years, spend carefully during retirement, and leave a decent inheritance for your kids so that they can live a better life than you did. But according to a recent article in Kiplinger, those plans are changing. Rather than focusing on what they'll eventually leave behind, more people are trying to spend their money while they’re still here to enjoy it. Today, new retirees are spending more on experiences, including “bucket list” travel.[1] In many ways, it's simply recognizing that your health, longevity and energy levels are going to run out someday, and maybe it's best to experience some fun while you still have the chance. And it's having an effect on the travel industry. The trend has become noticeable enough that it's “beginning to reshape how affluent travelers are spending their money on luxury travel.”[2] It's understandable why this is happening. As we've documented in previous episodes, longevity is on the rise. But there's also evidence to suggest that healthspans aren't keeping up. Healthspan can be defined as the number of years a person lives a “healthy, active, disease-free life.”[3] Research by the World Health Organization indicates that there's a growing disparity between lifespan and healthspan. The average gap between lifespan and healthspan is estimated at approximately 12.5 years in the United States, which is 13 percent higher than it was in the year 2000. In other words, over time, people are gaining extra years of life faster than they are gaining years of good health.[4] Perhaps one other reason for the upswing in SKI is that a surprising number of heirs end up wasting their inheritance. According to a recent survey by Texas Tech University and the University of Alabama, a substantial portion of heirs spend all of their inheritance in the first year. By then, a full 42 percent had seen their net worth drop back to or below what it had been before the inheritance.[5] As one of the authors wrote, “This propensity to immediately spend the entire inheritance is high. In fact, it's higher than with ANY OTHER type of financial windfall (when controlling for windfall size).” There are certainly some risks built into the SKI trend. For one thing, if you're not careful, you could easily spend your own retirement savings too quickly and be forced to adjust to a lower standard of living. And so many people underestimate the eventual cost of health care and long-term care. Also, it's easy to let small upgrades in your lifestyle add up to a much bigger problem later on, a phenomenon known as “lifestyle creep.” Kiplinger goes on to suggest some ideas for how to SKI intelligently. First, you need to set a baseline. Not for what you want to spend, but for what you want to keep. This should help maintain some peace of mind for both you and your heirs.[6] Next, they suggest doing some extra budgeting when it comes to travel. Make travel a specific factor in your overall retirement plan. The author also feels that a bucket list trip doesn't have to be to an exotic place on the other side of the world. It just has to be meaningful. In the long run, a memorable shared experience while you're living can have a greater impact than a bigger inheritance.[7] And finally, maybe you can still make some gifts to your heirs from time to time. The belief is that a smaller financial gift, at the right time, can have an oversized impact. So can bringing some of your heirs along with you on some of your trips. The memory might end up being more important than the money.[8] An important question remains, however: how to deal with SKI? There's one potential solution they fail to mention: life insurance. It's there to provide that extra cushion. If you've got enough of it, you can feel free to spend a good chunk of your kids' inheritance without much guilt. It's as if you've addressed the inheritance part prior to your retirement spending. Purchasing life insurance, and early, can be one of those instances where you really can get the best of both worlds during your working years and in retirement. And as you probably realize, the older you get, the higher life insurance premiums become. So, the sooner you start, the better. Do you have enough life insurance that your heirs will be OK if you decide to go “Skiing?” Your Security Mutual Life insurance agent can help. Your Security Mutual Life insurance agent will augment or assemble your team and coordinate with your attorney and tax professional to review your situation and to determine the insurance plan that will best suit your needs and objectives.

What You'll Learn in This Episode Why multi-billion dollar corporate perks like unlimited PTO and cold brew fail to fix the root causes of team burnout The critical operational shift from viewing talent development as a cost center to treating it as a core business driver What it means to lead as a steward of people rather than a controller, and how that impacts daily management decisions How to utilize tactical self-leadership tools like the Johari Window and 360-degree feedback to expose your own leadership blind spots Why corporate culture is never a kickoff project and how to accurately diagnose your workplace using the culture iceberg Episode Chapters (00:00) Intro (00:33) The Reality of the Perk Trap (03:15) Designing Systems for Joy and Performance (05:48) Shifting From Controller to Steward of People (08:53) The True Human Cost of Broken Systems (13:51) Using Self Leadership to Drive Team Clarity (19:01) Uncovering Blind Spots and Reflective Leadership (21:20) Diagnosing Culture Beyond the Surface (25:31) A Brand That Makes Yolanda Smile (27:38) Where to Connect with Yolanda Fraction About Yolanda Fraction Yolanda Fraction, M.Ed., is an organizational development consultant, leadership advisor, and corporate trainer with more than two decades of experience helping executives build healthier, high performing workplaces. Currently pursuing her PhD in industrial organizational psychology, Yolanda holds a graduate degree in adult and organizational learning, bringing a deeply practical and human centered approach to talent management across corporate, nonprofit, academic, and government sectors. She is the author of Joyful Workplaces: How People and Systems Create Energy, Resilience, and Results, and she hosts the Teamwork Sandbox podcast, where she explores the direct ways leaders influence and shape modern organizational culture. What Brand Has Made Yolanda Smile Recently? Yolanda shared a powerful story about Marriott that perfectly illustrated care beyond measure. While managing a hectic work travel schedule and undergoing IVF treatments, she arrived well before check-in at a Marriott property needing a safe place to store her temperature-sensitive medications. Instead of sticking strictly to standard front desk policy, an empathetic employee stepped up, securely stored the medication in a staff refrigerator, and personally ensured it safely reached her room later. For Yolanda, this moment of going above and beyond proved that a culture of genuine care is truly embedded within the Marriott brand. Resources & Links Connect with Yolanda on LinkedIn.
