Kara Birge has built a life with her husband, country artist George Birge on one simple philosophy: trust God and have fun through every season. From meeting at the University of Texas to early days flipping houses and working corporate jobs, to moving to Nashville for a record deal and starting over more than once, their journey has been full of faith, risk, and resilience. Through it all they’ve raised two boys, navigated the highs and challenges of the music business, and watched George score two No. 1 hits at country radio with “Mind On You” and “Cowboy Songs.” Now the adventure continues with a brand new collaboration with Luke Bryan “It Won’t Be Long,” proving that trusting the season and keeping fun at the center has been their secret weapon all along.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#892 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/892 Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors Most anglers never think about where their flies actually come from or how an idea turns into something hanging on a fly shop wall. In this episode, Jesse Riding of Rainy's Flies takes us behind the scenes of commercial fly tying—from a small home operation started by his mother to one of the largest fly production companies in the world. We dig into how flies are designed, how patterns move into large-scale production, and why materials like foam changed modern fly fishing forever. Jesse also shares insights on fly design royalties, innovation ethics, and what really determines quality when flies are tied across the globe. #892 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/892
In this powerful episode, we sit down with Ashley Sanders — a nurse, horse trainer, and professional barrel racer who refuses to let a complex medical condition define her life. Ashley shares her journey living with cranio cervical instability and functional movement disorder, conditions that left her with frightening and debilitating symptoms — including episodes where her neck would completely lock up, leaving her unable to rotate her head at all. For years, Ashley searched for answers while navigating a medical system that often dismissed her symptoms or suggested they were psychological. Instead of giving up, she kept advocating for herself, pushing for testing, and seeking the truth behind what her body was experiencing. In this conversation, Ashley opens up about: • What her symptoms actually felt like • The frustration of being dismissed by the medical community • The tests that finally validated what she knew was real • How she continues to pursue her passion for horses and barrel racing despite the challenges Ashley's story is one of resilience, self-advocacy, and determination. If you've ever felt unheard in the medical system or wondered how someone keeps going when the answers aren't clear, this episode will inspire you.

00:00 Well, Zoran Mondani has got his problems up in New York. There's a new video out that shows Mondani's wife celebrating the October 7th attacks. We'll get to that coming up in a little bit. Let's go to Gerald in Calpins. Gerald, welcome. How are you? All right. Happy Friday, brother. You too. Charlie, back in the 50s, we had the measles, the mumps, and chickenpox. Right. 00:27 They'd rub us down with buttermilk and we survived, you know, there was no big deal. With buttermilk, I'd never heard of that, but I'm pretty sure they did. I appreciate it, Gerald. Thank you very much. Okay. Do you guys remember when President Trump in his first administration announced that he was creating the Space Force? Do you remember that? And do you remember how everybody made fun of Space Force? You remember them doing that? No one asks. 00:57 how we're gonna pay for this Space Force. There's no threat in space. Who are we fighting? Satellites? When Trump talks about Space Force, he makes it sound like we're gonna be on a rocket riding to the moon like, Space Force! Riding up down, a killing alien! Well, they're not laughing now. Because we are using Space Force in Iran. This might be the first time that Space Force was used. That's maybe, I don't know. We might have used it down in Venezuela. 01:28 But Space Force, with their technology and satellites, they are able to detect a rocket launch in Iran within milliseconds. Like pretty much exactly when it happens that it's detected, the coordinates are locked, and we send a missile to those coordinates and make sure that that rocket launcher or that rocket site 01:56 does not operate again. And it can also track the trajectory of the missile that was shot from that site. So when Donald Trump said, he said this a few months ago, he said, we've got weapons you've never, this was back before Venezuela. It was back before Venezuela. He said, we've got weapons nobody's even ever heard of. 02:22 He wouldn't go into specifics, of course, but he's like, you wouldn't believe the stuff we got. 02:29 So Space Force is being used, but there's another thing that's being used and that's Odin. O-D-I-N. Listen to this. This is cool as well. A US destroyer. are at least two destroyers deployed in Operation Epic Fury that are equipped with the Odin. It's a new laser seen here a few days ago. Odin blinds drone sensors causing them to crash. It's a last ditch weapon used to defend ships from drone attacks. 02:58 We're told it has not been used yet in Epic Fury. Now the US has deployed the EA-18G Growler to jam electronic signals causing dozens of Iranian drones to fall out of the sky and is using advanced precision laser guided rockets to shoot down drones from the air, ground or sea. The US and Israel do continue their offensive strikes against drone storage depots and launchers. CENTCOM released this video showing it destroying an Iranian drone carrier. 03:28 roughly the size of a World War II aircraft carrier. This multi-layered strategy counters Iran, which seemingly is trying to flood the zone with these cheap $35,000 Shaheed drones until the Gulf states run out of expensive counter drone munitions like the $4 million Patriot missiles. Ukraine is also helping to fight Iran's drones. is... So, pretty amazing. Just imagine... 03:57 Just imagine you're China, you're North Korea, you're Russia, whomever. Seeing they're going like, oh, oh, they got that. They got, they got those things. It reminds me of Dr. Evil. They've got lasers that can take out drones. We've got, we've got Odin, the God of the Dead. 04:26 We've got Space Force detecting rocket launches within a millisecond of them being launched. I'm telling you what, I wouldn't even, I don't even think that's the extent of it. I think that's just the stuff that they're showing off. Hey, look at that. Hey, hey, hey, Fox News, come here, let me show you this. Let me show you, no, don't look behind there. No, just look a ...
Send a textInsight alone doesn't change your life. Knowing why you think or feel a certain way is only the first step, but real transformation starts when behavior changes. In this episode, the focus shifts from awareness to action and the small, repeatable behaviors that create emotional stability over time.Join Anna and Tim as they unpack the “power moves” that help people move out of anxious overthinking and into self-trust. From naming anxiety in the moment to riding the wave of difficult emotions, they explore how tiny shifts in behavior can reshape how the brain responds to stress. They dive into why understanding something isn't enough, why repetition matters, and how keeping small promises to yourself builds confidence and resilience.This Episode Covers:Why emotional mastery is built through behavior, not just insight.“Name it to tame it,” labeling anxiety to reduce its intensity.Looking for evidence instead of believing the stories your brain tells under stress.Riding the wave of emotions instead of trying to fix or suppress them.One-tab living and why multitasking overloads the brain.Decision fatigue and creating simple personal policies that remove daily debate.Boundaries without turning every decision into a courtroom explanation.Building self-trust by keeping small promises to yourself every day.Until next time, here's to deeper connections and personal growth.Mad love!Book a Discovery Call for Coaching/Therapy: https://calendly.com/badassconfidencecoach/coachingThe podcast is now on YouTube!

German wait times now stretch up to 17 months, prompting Volvo to negotiate shorter summer breaks with unions, mirroring BMW's own ramp-up for the iX3. VOLVO PUSHES NEW UX TO 2.5 MILLION CARS Volvo is rolling out a major over‑the‑air update to around 2.5 million vehicles, bringing its latest infotainment system from the EX30, EX90 and EX60 models to cars as old as 2020. The update ushers in a unified user interface and, later this spring, a switch from Google Assistant to the more conversational Google Gemini AI. CUPRA RAVAL SPIED UNCOVERED AHEAD OF MARCH 2026 REVEAL Cupra's upcoming Raval — its most affordable EV yet — has been spotted fully uncovered during Scandinavian winter testing. Riding on the new MEB+ platform with two battery options, it launches mid‑2026 from around £23,000 to rival the Renault 5 and Peugeot e‑208 in the urban EV segment. DENMARK HITS 81.6% BEV SHARE IN FEBRUARY Battery‑electric vehicles made up 81.6% of Denmark's new car sales in February, surging to 94.4% among private buyers. The shift reflects strong government incentives and rapid public adoption as EVs become the mainstream choice in the Danish market. 2026 WORLD CAR AWARDS SHORTLISTS TILT ELECTRIC Electric models dominate the 2026 World Car Awards shortlist, with the BMW iX3, Nissan Leaf and Mercedes‑Benz CLA leading major categories. Luxury and performance finalists like the Lucid Gravity and Hyundai Ioniq 6 N further show how EVs now span every segment from affordable urban cars to high‑end models. 2027 BMW IX4 SET FOR X4 REPLACEMENT BMW's 2027 iX4 coupe SUV is testing in Sweden, set to replace the X4 with two all‑wheel‑drive variants and a 108 kWh battery offering up to 800 km WLTP range. It adopts BMW's latest design language and a minimalist cabin similar to the iX3, with a large central screen and refreshed controls. BARCELONA TO PAY €600 FOR ELECTRIC MOPED SWAPS Barcelona will grant residents €600 to trade in petrol mopeds for new electric ones starting March 2026, covering up to 40% of the purchase price. With €15 million in funding through 2030, the scheme could replace around 24,000 mopeds and is open on a first‑come, first‑served basis. ENBW SIGNS MULTI-YEAR XCHARGE DEAL FOR HYPERNET German utility EnBW has sealed a multi‑year deal with XCharge to supply 400 kW DC fast chargers for its HyperNet network after successful trials. The high‑power C7 units, supporting dual CCS connectors and liquid‑cooled cables, will serve high‑throughput highway and hub charging locations. STELLANTIS SETS 2026 SPAIN BUILD FOR LEAPMOTOR B10 Stellantis will start producing the Leapmotor B10 electric SUV in Spain in late 2026, marking the brand's European manufacturing debut. The €29,990 model anchors Leapmotor's expansion through Stellantis's joint venture, which now runs over 800 European sales points and continues rapid growth. THATCHAM TARGETS EV WRITE-OFFS WITH REPAIR BLUEPRINT Thatcham Research has launched an EV Blueprint to stop repairable electric cars being written off after minor crashes by improving safety, diagnostics and battery repair standards. The plan calls for modular, serviceable battery designs, open diagnostic tools, and replaceable safety components to cut repair costs and extend EV lifespan.
This Hump Day Wednesday gets deliciously wicked as I play one of G's fantasies that had me grinning the whole time.
Ken Condon describes himself as a commuter, tourer, an off-road rider, a track-day instructor, road racer, an ice rider, a drag racer, and “plain old street rider.” Truth is, as wide-ranging as that description may sound, it barely scratches the surface of the many things Condon has done not just on a motorcycle but, more importantly, for his fellow motorcyclists. Ken is the author of two books, “Riding in the Zone” and “Motorcycling the Right Way.” The latter is a compilation of the “Proficient Motorcycling” columns published in Motorcycle Consumer News. “I wrote that column for 14 years—2,800 words, plus photos, every month,” he tells “Driven to Ride” host Mark Long. Condon also penned “Street Strategies” for the same title. That's to say Condon has devoted most of his life to not only becoming a better rider himself but to helping others become better riders. “‘The well is very deep' is what I tell my students,” he says. “You can choose to swim on the surface and tread water, or you can dive deep and get down there and see what it's all about. And there's an awful lot there. It just goes, and goes, and goes.” Riding In The Zone Website Ken Condon on Facebook Connect with Us:Website: www.driventoridepodcast.comInstagram: www.Instagram.com/driventoridepodcastFacebook: www.facebook.com/driventorideEmail:hello@driventoridepodcast.com
Looking to learn new fingerstyle blues tunes to play on your acoustic guitar? This is a rundown of my favorite fingerstyle blues repertoire books. Hopefully you have already seen my previous video of “Best Fingerstyle Blues Method Books.” Method books provide a guided course of study with explanatory text, exercises, example tune arrangements, etc. In this video I will be talking about my favorite fingerstyle blues repertoire books, which simply provide tune arrangements and possibly some background info for each tune. I've been through many, many books, and I have been teaching and performing professionally for over a decade, so hopefully my insights can help guide you to the book that is best for you! Be aware that all of these repertoire books provide standard notation and tablature, and most of them do NOT provide any picking or fretting hand fingering. Working out optimal fingering is extremely important when learning an arrangement – good fingering choices make playing easier and minimize the potential for mistakes. Best Repertoire Books 1) The Complete Acoustic Blues Guitar Method (Mann, 2014) Repertoire book that presents lots of tunes from across the many subgenres of fingerstyle blues. These are solid arrangements that occasionally provide multiple choruses to show variations- this is extremely valuable for extending short tunes into performance length pieces. It is also worth analyzing the author's variations so that you can learn to create your own! Late beginner to advanced, but majority of the tunes are of an intermediate difficulty. I really like the organization of the book: tunes are organized by subgenre, and within each section the tunes are arranged from easiest to hardest. Each tune comes with nice historical background info and listening recommendations. 2) 12-Bar Fingerstyle Blues (Rubin, 2012) Repertoire book. Mostly intermediate. More repetitive grooves than some of the other fingerstyle blues books on the market. Fewer lyrical phrases in the melodies. I like that the tunes organized by subgenre, but the difficulty jumps around from tune to tune. For experienced players, this is a fast book to work through. Because each tune is a 12-bar chorus, you will get a lot of ideas that you can digest, combine, and make your own in the future. Next, I want to introduce a special book that doesn't quite fit into the simple “Repertoire Book” category: 3) The New Art of Ragtime Guitar (Saslow, 2011, 2017 2nd Ed.) This book is essentially a repertoire book of ragtime blues tunes, but the analysis that accompanies each tune is extensive and extremely valuable. Late beginner to advanced and difficulty progresses with each tune. These tunes are really fun, and you will gain valuable insight from the analysis. The author coaches you through fingering choices, his use of guide, anchor, or pivot fingers, etc. These lessons will make you a better player. 4) Fingerstyle Blues Songbook (James, 2005) Another repertoire book with good arrangements and historical background info. Honestly, it's not all that much different from Woody Mann's The Complete Acoustic Blues Guitar Method, but this book is much shorter. Late-beginner to intermediate, although advanced players will certainly enjoy the tunes as well. 5) Complete Country Blues Guitar Book (Grossman, 1992) Repertoire book. Good arrangements. Lots of authentic tunes. Stefan Grossman is an incredible musicologist who helped rediscover and promote much of the old fingerstyle blues music of the 1920s and 30s. I really like the interviews and historical information that he has included making this a great coffee table book. Late-beginner to intermediate. Tunes organized by subgenre. Strange TAB. *6) Solo Blues Guitar (Rubin, 2006) Repertoire – I'm putting this book at the end because it is NOT a fingerstyle blues guitar book. The examples can be played fingerstyle, but most seem to work best with a plectrum/pick/flatpick. However, I want to include this book for a couple reasons: It is focused on solo blues guitar arrangements I LOVE this book. These examples are fun and they inspire me to improvise in new ways with new grooves. Like Rubin's 12-Bar Fingerstyle Blues, these tunes also feature repetitive grooves alternating with melodic lines and licks, rather than choruses focused on lyrical melodies. My own books: Fingerstyle Blues Guitar: An In-Depth Study of the 12-Bar Blues in E Major – Books 1 and 2 are available in paperback or eBook through Amazon [https://a.co/d/g7Udsso (Book 1) and https://a.co/d/aDbh4H0 (Book 2)]. The first priority of these books is to quickly get you playing a solo instrumental 12-bar blues, & then to build on it until you can freely improvise or “jam.” You should be up and running by the end of the third chapter, and each following chapter will add icing on the cake. Arranging for Fingerstyle Guitar: go to http://joemcmurray.com/checkout/ to purchase a pdf of my eBook. Arranging for Fingerstyle Ukulele, will be published by Mel Bay in 2026.

In this conversation, Britten welcomes TMT 2025 alums Christine Gutierrez, Kate Eastridge, and Katrine Waugh to reflect on what it was like to ride the emotional waves of The Magician's Table through the lens of the Prince of Cups. Together, they share how they found the container, what they brought to practice, and what unfolded as they entered initiation weekend, navigated vulnerability, strengthened self-trust, and emerged with deeper confidence in their magic. This episode traces the arc of saying yes, being held, and carrying the medicine forward into the world. Topics They Cover: How each of them found The Magician's Table: from podcast serendipity to repeated returns to the sales page to the quiet build-up of the idea that they can be a part of this bigger thing What they brought to the container (mediumship, astrology, tarot) and how their practice evolved through consistent weekly readings and exchange The initiation weekend experience and what it felt like to enter a structured, intimate space that is designed to hold you The emotional rhythm of the container: nervousness, imposter feelings, surprise and delight, strengthening self-trust, and the feeling of time outside of time The power of structure and community: being witnessed, building integrity, honing skills, and learning to hold space for others What it felt like to close the container and why they'd say yes again (and encourage others to honor the pull if they feel it) THE DOORS TO THE 2026 MAGICIAN'S TABLE ARE NOW OPEN!

Before she ever stepped onto a set, she was captivated by stories of reinvention and reckoning blended with the farcical rhythm and profound questions of an existential comedy. Drawn to stories that bend time such as Groundhog Day and Palm Springs or the sudden presence of an omniscient voice narrating one's life in Stranger Than Fiction. Kate seeks stories about awareness. About how one's perceptions might change when we shine a light on the cycle of what's happening right now. Kate's original fascination with astrology and use of tarot as tools for creative writing and character development led her to explore how tools of divination to prompt reflection while laughing her way through her own hero's journey.

Letting go is hard. Especially when what you're letting go of feels like who you are. In this episode of Sunday Strides, Lorna explores the idea of mental suppleness as a rider; and why it's just as important as physical suppleness in the saddle. Because sometimes the very thing holding you back isn't your horse, your skill, or your circumstances… It's the identity you're clinging to! Connection Membership Join a growing community of riders from around the world who are building consistent progress in the saddle, often without riding more. Inside Connection, you'll get access to our fortnightly Review & Planning Calls, live virtual group lessons, Q&A sessions, and a full library of on-demand audio horse riding lessons.

In this episode of Single Moms Conversations, I'm talking about how my idea of love has changed over the years. I was believing that love meant sacrificing everything and sticking through anything.

On Monday, Manhattan Institute fellow Chris Rufo posted this: "The Right's collective brain is getting melted in a vat of slop, conspiracy, and algorithm-chasing. An intelligent man will guard himself against all of it." Given that Rufo was, after J.D. Vance, perhaps the most prominent Haitians-are-eating-pets-in-Ohio conspiracy theorist in the country, his complaint generated many, many responses rightfully calling him out for his lack of self-awareness and his own role in mainstreaming such a politics. As our friend John Ganz wrote, "Is this hypocrisy, stupidity, or unabashed malevolence? Try all three: it's politics. Specifically, it's the politics of the American Conservative Movement. People cry out for a new William F. Buckley. Give the title to Rufo, I say; he's doing the job already." In this episode we talked to Ganz about how the dynamic Rufo identified has always been a feature of the postwar conservative movement, stretching back at least to William F. Buckley, Jr. and Brent Bozell's defense of McCarthyism; what's distinctive about the Right's present slop era, especially the alignment of conservative movement propagandists, the Republican Party, and the state; populism and the "Madisonian model"; and more!

Read transcriptLucky Luke might be the fastest gun in the West, but nobody warned him about being jammed into a tiny Game Boy cartridge where his biggest foes are stiff platforming and whatever that enemy AI is trying to do. This episode of Play Comics moseys into the dusty frontier where classic European comics meet tiny Nintendo screens, occasionally in glorious Game Boy Color if you were lucky enough to live in the right place or know the right import guy. It is pixel dust, cowboy hats, and the eternal question of “Is this a faithful adaptation, or did someone just hear ‘cowboy' and wing it?” Riding into town for this one is the legendary Dr Queso de la Muerte from Chris's real life internet friend group, bringing a big-brained breakdown of handheld nonsense and exactly the sort of opinions you get when people have spent way too much time thinking about comics, games, and what happens when you mash them together. Together, they'll pick apart what the game borrows from the Lucky Luke comics, what it completely makes up, and how well it all survives the journey into a two-button wild west. Expect detours into cultural differences, cartridge weirdness, and at least one moment of “why did they design the level like this on purpose?” So grab your favorite handheld, adjust your imaginary cowboy hat, and get ready for a trip to the Old West filtered through green-ish screens, tiny sprites, and the unstoppable force of licensing. This is an episode for anyone who ever rented a random game from the video store, stared at the box art, and thought, “Yeah, this is either going to be secretly amazing or the funniest mistake I make all weekend.” Learn such things as: Which comic story beats make it into the game and which are left wandering the prairie? Do we even want to introduce Lucky Luke to a new audience? How far can a character travel when the mythology is based so much on a specific geographical area of time and space? And so much more! You can find Dr. Queso on BlueSky @drquesodelamuerte.bsky.social and nowhere else unless you already know where to find him.

One Pole = Endless Possibilities. Why do we overcomplicate our riding, when often the biggest breakthroughs come from doing less?! In this episode of Sunday Strides, Lorna challenges you to strip things right back. No fancy setups. No complicated grids. No elaborate plans. Just one pole, placed on the ground, and a willingness to get creative. Back to Basics to Move Forward Inside Connection this quarter, the theme is ground poles. But instead of building complex exercises, Lorna suggests starting with the simplest possible version: a single pole. Because when you remove the overwhelm, you create space for clarity. And clarity leads to progress. Your Challenge This Week: Place one pole on the ground and explore what you can do with it. Groundwork around it Lateral movements Stride adjustments Riding straight lines with intention Raising it slightly for core strength The possibilities are endless when you stop waiting for the "perfect setup." Take Action This Week Set up one pole. Get creative with how you use it. Film a short clip. Reflect on what you notice. Then head over to the Daily Strides Podcast Online Community and let us know how it went https://facebook.com/groups/dailystridespodcast
Sunday, February 22, 2026 – Pastor Justin is bringing a message titled “Stop Riding the Fence.” This is a very practical and challenging message for every believer today. Every person is susceptible to wandering and drifting if they aren’t mindful of how easily one can drop their spiritual guard and drift from what it means to live a holy life. From a practical perspective, nature will cause physical fences to weaken and even break down in places, allowing the animals protected by that fence to wander off and get into all kinds of dangerous situations. Likewise, the spiritual fences that guard our hearts can also weaken and break down in places we may not expect, and we, like a horse or a cow, can find ourselves in dangerous places because we didn’t mend the fences on a regular basis. Today’s message gives us good warnings and encourages us to stop riding the fence with one foot in the world and one foot in the church, and instead to mend the fence and plant both feet firmly in the church, seeking a holy and righteous life with Christ. If we understood that the fences God places around us are meant to protect us from a world bent on destroying us, we would live much better, more fulfilled lives. Worship and study with us.

Ultra cyclist Lotti Power has completed the Atlas Mountain Race, the Hellenic Mountain Race, and the Silk Road Mountain Race in a single season. Often the youngest rider on the start line, Lotti did not come into ultra cycling through a traditional racing background. Instead she embraces the idea of learning by doing and it has to be said it has served her well!Lotti first came into long distance riding through the world of Audax. What began with brevets and Paris Brest Paris quickly opened the door to much bigger ideas, She signe up for the Transcontinental and decided to take race the Trans Pyrenees as a team of two with her dad as preparation! Since that she has gradually pushed herself into taking on more remote and demanding terrain.A defining part of Lotti's story is how she travels. She rides to start lines, carries a minimal setup, often sleeps without a tent, and makes decisions as she goes. That choice shapes how she trains, how she approaches events, and how she responds when things get complicated, whether that is punctures, heat, long stretches of desert, or the mental weight of being far away from friends and family.In this conversation, we talk about learning ultra cycling by doing it, standing on a podium she never expected, and trusting herself in situations where there is no clear plan. Lotti shares how riding to events has influenced every part of her racing, and why she believes motivation and time matter more than experience or labels.Be sure to follow Lotti via her instagram - @LottiPower EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/STR Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee Check out Old Man Mountain for the perfect way to carry gear on your bike.

Tonight's Top Three Riding Principles Q&A was a fun chat all about the basics that never stop mattering, no matter what level you ride at. We talked through key dressage terms (because words have specific meanings), and how having clear definitions helps you understand your trainer, your test sheets, and your own training plan so much faster.A big theme was personalization: yes, there are frameworks and “systems” that work… but every horse and rider pair needs a slightly different focus. That's exactly why 30 Days to Dressage starts with an assessment so you know what to prioritize first, and how to build your month in a way that actually fits you.We also dug into a few foundational terms:Dressage (yes, it literally means training) and why it's so much more than movements in an arenaIn front of the leg- responsiveness, not speedIndependent seat and why it's the gateway to clearer aidsThe difference between rhythm vs tempo, and why counting is such a powerful toolSuppleness as both mental + physical relaxation (and how our own tension transfers straight into the horse)We finished with a really helpful mindset piece: when you're learning something new, a little tension is normal. The goal is to work in moments; try the thing, then soften, breathe, reset, and try again. And bonus: visualization matters more than we think (hello Winter Olympics inspiration)If you're joining 30 Days to Dressage, I can't wait for Sunday's training principles lecture,and Nicole's “plan your month” session is going to help you feel so organized and clear heading into the month.

From Cajun Country to the French Riviera: Louisiana Meets France takes you on a lively, honest, and sometimes surprising journey through France with Annie Sargent and her guests, Renee Poche and Dixie Poche, a mother-daughter duo from Cajun Country in Louisiana. Listen to this episode ad-free This episode explores what happens when Cajun French culture meets modern France. Renee and Dixie share stories from their first trip together to Nice, Paris, Reims, and small towns along the way. They talk about expectations versus reality. They compare food, daily rhythms, and cultural habits. They reflect on what feels familiar and what feels very different. You'll hear about staying in a former convent in Nice. Walking the Old Town. Riding elevators up cliffs. Watching the noon cannon fire. There's champagne tasting in the Champagne region, with honest opinions about Reims versus Épernay. There's Versailles, with practical advice on timing and energy levels. There's Paris, explored slowly, on foot, with cafés, cemeteries, shopping, and a night at the Moulin Rouge. Food plays a big role in this conversation. Annie, Renee, and Dixie compare Cajun boudin and French andouille. They talk about sauces, spices, portions, and meal times. They also discuss how French fashion, walking culture, and city layouts influence how visitors experience France. This episode is about more than an itinerary. It's about traveling together. It's about mother-daughter dynamics on the road. It's about noticing small details. It's about how shared French roots can feel both close and distant at the same time. If you're curious about Cajun French culture Louisiana vs France, planning a first trip, or thinking about traveling with family, this episode will resonate.
