We're told that we can have it all if we time it right: build your career first, then start a family. But what does the medicine actually say? Amanda Goetz sits down with Dr. Lucky Sekhon, a double board-certified reproductive endocrinologist at RMA of New York and author of the USA Today bestseller The Lucky Egg. Dr. Lucky busts the biggest fertility myths (no, your fertility doesn't fall off a cliff at 35), explains why so-called "fertility checks" are mostly marketing, and breaks down the real difference between freezing eggs and freezing embryos. She also flips the script on a part of the story we tend to ignore—male-factor infertility, which accounts for roughly half of cases—and why family building is a team sport. Women shouldn't carry all the burden! It's an honest, science-forward, and surprisingly reassuring conversation about the fertility knowledge gap—and how it's okay to not have it all figured out in your 20s. . This episode gets into both the emotional and physical considerations of fertility treatment, and we think it's a worthwhile listen, regardless of what stage of life you might find yourself in—and even if you're undecided on the whole kids thing. Key Takeaways: Fertility doesn't fall off a cliff at 35. It's a gradual continuum, and many women conceive naturally into their 30s and 40s. AMH measures egg count, not fertility, and a low number shouldn't cause panic. Most pop-in or at-home "fertility checks" are marketing. No single test can predict whether you'll struggle to conceive. Start paying attention in your 20s by understanding your cycle and spotting red flags like PCOS or endometriosis. And pay attention to your family history. Freezing eggs and freezing embryos are different—eggs offer more flexibility and stay solely yours, while embryos give clearer answers but need both partners' sign-off. When choosing a clinic, ask about its actual thaw and IVF success rates, not just whether you like the doctor. Male-factor infertility is something we need to talk more about. Every day stress doesn't cause infertility, but insulin resistance is an under-recognized and treatable driver worth checking.

In 2023, the National Party's main campaign messaging was around the economy, and how the Labour-led Government had mismanaged the economy and country, causing high inflation, rising living costs, and increasing crime. It wasn't surprising then that the 2024 and 2025 budgets were all about fiscal discipline, a halt to excessive spending, reduced borrowing and “living within our means.” Tax cuts aside, the Government has, for the most part, managed to present its decision making as fair and reasonable. Too reasonable for some people's liking. Ruth Richardson argues that Nicola Willis has not gone far or fast enough in restoring New Zealand's fiscal position, and that the Government is balancing political caution with fiscal repair, instead of making harder and more impactful structural changes. This week, the Government presented a harder edge as it doubled down on reducing the number of public servants and rearranging parts of New Zealand's welfare system. Once again, messaging was key. Some of it was good. Some just made the Government look mean. A change in social housing policy was announced, which aims to balance the support provided for those struggling in social housing with those struggling in private rentals. We absolutely want to make sure those who can look after themselves do so, and those in genuine need are able to access social housing. However getting those in social housing to fit the bill with increased rents to subsidise people in private rentals doesn't appear to be getting anyone ahead - we're just asking one disadvantaged group to help another. There is some interesting thinking around this policy - changing the RMA to allow for an increased supply of long-term, low-rent properties, or properties catering to people with mental health issues or disabilities, so that people can move out of social housing and into private rentals while still getting an accommodation subsidy isn't a bad idea. If you can pull it off. But Nicola Willis' flippant comment that social housing tenants had "won the lotto" - which she expressed regret for - reduced the big picture down to a policy that implied the Government reckons you've got it too good so are going to kick you out of your home. This week, Minister for Disability Issues Louise Upston introduced the Disability Support Services Bill to Parliament. While supposedly intended to provide clarity and stability to the system which supports thousands of disabled New Zealanders, it did pretty much the opposite for those who look after a disabled family member by sidestepping a 2025 Supreme Court ruling. The Bill allows the Government to now claim the Crown is not the employer of family carers, those who care for loved ones, sometimes 24/7 and sometimes for their entire lives. It had been a long hard battle for carers to be heard and recognised, and it feels like a recently resolved issue of fairness has been sacrificed. While people affected by the announcements this week may not naturally vote for the current Government, New Zealanders respond well to a sense of fairness. Regardless of who we vote for, we're a decent bunch and don't want to see policy decisions that feel like the final tug of the rug from underneath New Zealanders genuinely in need, at a time when fuel and other costs are increasing. This doesn't mean we can't change systems. This doesn't mean we can't find a more efficient, sustainable and fairer means of looking after as many New Zealanders in need as needed. But you don't have to be or look mean doing it. Thursday is Budget day. The Finance Minister has reduced the amount of new money the Government is giving themselves for day-to-day spending, and is still working to get the books back in balance and the debt curve bending down. Are changes to the public sector or social welfare going to cut it? Maybe it's time to also rethink tax cuts, landlord tax incentives, tobacco breaks and many of the other election incentives that get in the way of achieving this.

 In this episode of Fertility Forward, Rena and Dara are joined by journalist and mother, Stephanie Butnick, for an honest conversation about IVF, genetic testing, and the emotional complexities of building a family. Stephanie shares how her journey with RMA began after learning her husband carries a BRCA1 mutation, and why they chose to pursue IVF with pre-implantation genetic testing. She reflects on her second IVF experience and how it differed from the first, while also opening up about the incredible support she received throughout her care. Together, they discuss what it was like for her husband to navigate these experiences as the BRCA1 carrier and how they plan to one day talk to her daughters about the journey that brought them into the world. Stephanie also shares how speaking openly about her experience has helped her connect with others facing similar challenges, emphasizing the importance of community, transparency, and keeping sight of the bigger picture throughout the fertility journey.

Mayonnaise cheese and chili on a hot dog is fantastic Question from gecko4 from Montana ⭐hello friends, Last year I made the decision to trust my life on the street to Second Chance body armor. I got the level IIa because it stops the most rounds. plus I got the Trauma Plate for the front. What scares me is that, although I can fit an extra trauma plate in the front, I cannot fit a second one in back. As of late I have taken to duct-taping a second trauma plate to the area of my back where the heart and vital organs are located. Then I put my vest on. Here is the questions. The ducttape solution, although tactically sound, is hot and painful to remove. I would like to go to the single-plate solution in back. What I am worried about is repeated hits to that area with .308 ammunition. I have a high-risk security job and I fear that I would be the target for repeated long-distance shots to my back. Are any of you aware of a thicker plate that could stop, say, .338 Lapua or something like that? Is there a better way to do the second plate? BTW, I am, of course, usually carrying a pair of ceramic plates in my briefcase so that I can shield my head. My SO (we work as a team when necessary) has a similar accessory containing a breakdown NEF single-shot 300 WinMag with an 18″ bbl. The plan is that I shield us with my body and “catch the rounds” while she assembles the NEF. I lay down covering fire with my 23 (Bar-Sto .357 Sig barrel) and she makes the long shots. I will then throw smoke grenades to obscure the area while continuing to lay covering fire. The problem, of course, is when I have to turn my back to run, and then the problem crops up. ~gecko4 Question from Angel from California ⭐Angel from commiefornia, looking into getting my first rifle.

Why now Sean? I had Covid vibes when I read Sean Sweeney's thinking about the CRL. It was Covid vibes because during that period I cannot tell you how many people I know and regularly dealt with, whether it was people in the media or people from business, who said one thing about the Government and their handling of lockdowns and the economy in private, and something completely different in public. So Sean, having left the CRL to head to Ireland, has now left Ireland but has stopped by long enough to tell us we don't scope our price major projects that well. Who knew? The CRL, at well over $5 billion, is a gargantuan waste of money. Yes, it will improve things and on paper it makes sense because it joins up some rail lines so you can go around and around. But like most things in life, convenience, improvement, or efficiency comes at a cost. What's a terrific idea at $50 is a waste at $200. And for something that started out about $2 billion and will come in at about $6 billion, the CRL has reached the stage where no one really wants to accept responsibility any more for the price and delays, because it got embarrassing a long time ago and tipped over into "well let's just make the most of it and hope it works". It won't of course. Not to the extent they dreamed, because what they dream of is New York and London, and we have never been that and never will be. Anyway, part of where Sean is right is ideology blinds common sense. Too many people want a say and before you know it, everything is a combination of delayed and expensive. Yes, the fast-track RMA reform will help. Less legal action will help. Fewer opportunities for review will help. And God forbid, cross party support would help. But what would also help is some backbone – people who say what they believe, whether it gets them attention, or into trouble, or not. There are too many pussies in places of influence. Too many spineless, scaredy cats who want the job, or the title, or the reputation, or the pay-packet, and just grin and bear it, or defend it, or lie about it, and babble nonsensical rubbish instead of being honest. As much as I appreciate Sean telling it like it is, and he's right and possibly someone in charge might take notice, what I would appreciate more was the same commentary before he filed the resignation letter and scarpered.

I heard Barry Soper say yesterday that, despite all the hard talk, the Government's so-called fast-tracking of local government amalgamation won't actually happen anytime soon. Certainly not before the election. Which is true. Because this is a big change the Government wants to see happen. But, in my mind, it can't happen soon enough. The fast-tracking bit is the councils being told that, if they don't come up with an amalgomation plan within three months, the government will do it for them. Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon is already pushing back. He's not excited about the idea. Saying his community has made it clear that it doesn't want change. Tell that to the Government, though. Which admits that it didn't campaign on local government reform at the last election but believes there is “broad support” for what it's planning to do. There's no doubt in my mind that having nearly 70 local councils in a country the size of New Zealand is crazy. So, of course, something has change. But what that change looks like, is what matters. And for me, there's only one option for us here in the greater Christchurch area. And maybe it will only happen of the Government forces the issue. Because I don't see people like Dan Gordon jumping on board of their own accord. But the only realistic option here is to do something I've been in favour of for quite a while now. A super-city. Christchurch Mayor Phil Mauger is saying today that the Christchurch City Council has already said it's keen to take over the work Environment Canterbury does. So why not go the whole hog and join ECan, Christchurch City, Selwyn and Waimakariri together? It makes sense to me. It's being reported today that, to keep the government happy, Christchurch is going to have to amalgamate with at least one other council. How crazy would that be? Amalgamating with just one. Christchurch amalgamating with Selwyn, but not with Waimakariri. Crazy. But, every time a super-city is mentioned, some people are quick to point to Auckland as an argument against it. The Auckland super-city brought together seven city and district councils, and the regional council back in 2010. But a super city in the greater Christchurch area would be nowhere near the same scale. We're talking here about just three councils - Christchurch, Selwyn and Waimakariri. Plus ECan, of course. Half of the people living in Selwyn still come into Christchurch every day for work and school, and they contribute nothing towards the cost of the running of the city. They're using the city's roads and so many of the other facilities that they pay nothing for. Not to mention the relatively small distance between Selwyn, Christchurch and Waimakariri. Which is why, for me, a greater Christchurch super city is a no brainer. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The RMA Minister says councils have already signalled they'd like to join forces with neighbours. The Government's announced a fast-track amalgamation process, asking councils to submit proposals for merging with neighbours to form unitary authorities. They have three months to submit a rough plan. Chris Bishop told Mike Hosking there's quite a lot of momentum behind it already. He says they've had quite a lot of councillors, mayors, and people on local government land express interest in getting on with it and amalgamating, so they're giving them the opportunity.

So I was in Christchurch giving a speech to part of Local Government New Zealand - the South Island arm - so the room was full of mayors and councillors from across the South Island. One of the topics up for discussion was what councils around the country need to do, or could do, to win back public approval. I have to be honest: I left that room - and you know my views on councils - feeling just a little bit sorry for the councillors and mayors I met. The ones I spoke to seemed to be honestly trying. They admitted they've got more to do and that there are stupid costs they need to cut as well. But what they told me is that they're up against it. They're dealing with things they can't change: national laws like the RMA that tie their hands, and unelected staff who just go ahead and do their own thing. And sure enough, there's a story that illustrates at least some of that perfectly. Wellington City Council staff have spent $130,000 on new art for their flash new building - a building where they've hogged the top floors and shoved the mayor downstairs, where he's staring at a wall. Now, the thing is, they don't need art. They have no money and they're going hard on Wellington ratepayers. They do not need to be spending on art. They've already got an extensive collection they could draw from, which includes Colin McCahon, Toss Woollaston, Ralph Hotere, Dick Frizzell - Pablo Picasso, for goodness' sake.Judging by the criticism from elected councillors, it seems those councillors didn't even know the unelected staff were splashing out on fancy art. That's what these people are up against: bureaucrats who treat ratepayers like a bottomless ATM. That is a major problem. Now, I'm not making excuses for elected councillors or mayors - they have their own part to play in big spending. But some of them are genuinely trying. They're just up against decades of ingrained largesse like this. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Duncan Garner takes aim at the growing fight over Santana Minerals' proposed gold mine in Central Otago, after Ngāi Tahu opposed the project following reports of a $180 million figure being discussed. Duncan argues this is no ordinary consent battle. He says it goes to the heart of whether New Zealand is still a place where major projects can get built, investors can have certainty, and high paying regional jobs can actually exist. ACT MP and undersecretary Simon Court joins the show to discuss the Santana mine, the RMA changes coming through Parliament, and whether the Government's reforms will stop what he calls “shakedowns” in the planning system. Duncan also shares the story of a local business owner giving up on New Zealand and heading to Australia to try his luck in the mines. Is this about protecting the environment, or has the system tipped too far? And if New Zealand keeps making it this hard to build, who will be left to pay the bills? Learn more about your ad choices.

What do y'all think about them? Not sure whether to get 300 blackout or 556 version. Would use it for hunting some but mostly a range toy. Maybe get a suppressor for it in the future.

A former National cabinet minister says the party needs to move on from internal wrangling to the more pressing issues at hand. Christopher Luxon passed a vote of confidence at yesterday's caucus meeting. MPs aren't revealing details of the vote, including how many of them supported Luxon. Former minister Chris Finlayson told Ryan Bridge the path forward for National is simple. He says they need to deliver a good Budget, pass RMA reforms, sign the India free trade agreement, and start speaking highly of each other and campaigning in a unified way.

Tonight on The Huddle, Trish Sherson of Sherson Willis PR and Child Fund CEO Josie Pagani joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day - and more! The US and Israel have launched strikes in Iran, killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and kicking off more conflict. What do we make of this? How will this impact our economy? The Government has given councils permission to authorise the killing of protected species under incoming RMA replacement bills, according to new reports. What do we make of this? Is this a good idea? New research out of Australia has raised concerns about the microplastics in chewing gum. Should we be concerned about this? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Minister for RMA Reform says letting councils give companies permissions relating to killing protected animals during work is a matter of reducing red tape. A law passed last year let DOC extend this permission to companies to reduce development liability. Under incoming RMA replacement Bills, councils can also give such permissions. Greenpeace has condemned the proposed change, saying councils don't have the environmental know-how. But Chris Bishop says this makes sense. "Regional councils in particular, when it comes to the environment, they are the administrator of environmental management within their areas."

RMA Reform Minister Chris Bishop has categorically ruled out implementing a 'water tax' that's mentioned in the proposed Resource Management legislation. Federated Farmers today asked the Government to remove clauses they say give Ministers sweeping powers to tax water as a tool for managing demand. Bishop says it's not that simple, and it's not a policy the current Government is proposing.

Sometimes the most powerful insights in fertility care come from lived experience. In this episode of Fertility Forward, we sit down with Dr. Amelia Kelly, the newest reproductive endocrinologist at RMA of New York's Brooklyn office, to explore the personal and professional journey that brought her to this field. She shares how her mother's volunteer work in reproductive health first opened her eyes to the importance of family building on your own timeline, and how training at institutions like Weill Cornell and NYU strengthened that early interest. Dr. Kelly also reflects on her own egg freezing experience and how it shaped her understanding of what patients navigate. We discuss her research on physician infertility, the stresses residents face, and why expanding access to care remains one of her biggest passions. Tune in to hear how Dr. Kelly's path as both clinician and patient informs her approach and why compassionate, accessible fertility care matters now more than ever!

Yesterday, the latest six-monthly survey of housing support providers under the National Homelessness Data Project, or NHDP,  showed that homelessness in Auckland has more than doubled in the year to September. The report also found that 14 of the 21 agencies interviewed reported an increase in homelessness. As well as this, Australia's ban on social media for children under 16 has taken effect. And according to an interim report into social media harm, a social media ban for children in New Zealand is worth exploring further. And last week the Government announced the replacement of the Resource Management Act, or RMA. The coalition said its replacement will slash red tape and supercharge growth. For our weekly catchup with the Green Party, Wednesday Wire Host Max spoke to MP Ricardo Menendez March about the Government's new RMA reforms and a potential social media ban in New Zealand. But first they discussed the latest report on Auckland homelessness.

This week the government announced significant changes to the Resource Management Act. 

The coalition is heralding the single largest economic reform in a generation - as it sets out its sweeping overhaul of the RMA. The much-loathed Resource Management Act has proved a perpetual bugbear - confusing and complex. The government says its radical new approach will make that much easier. Acting political editor Craig McCulloch reports.

It has been revealed a major RMA overhaul with two new laws replacing the Resource Management Act; a Natural Environment law and a Planning law. The planning bill would lay out what infrastructure is needed and when, with land secured for key things like roads, schools, and utilities. The changes could boost GDP by more than $3 billion a year. The Minister responsible for RMA, Chris Bishop spoke to Lisa Owen.

The Government has released its long-awaited overhaul of planning controls, saying it will save New Zealanders $13 billion over the next three decades. RMA Reform Minister Chris Bishop spoke to Corin Dann.

Now we don't know about you, but the words Resource Management Act, are quite hard to get enthused about. But we want to be enthused, because we know it is important. Especially given the Government has just announced pretty big changes to it. The RMA will be replaced with be replaced by two new pieces of legislation, one focused on planning and the other focused on protecting the environment. So, to find out what this means, and to get a better understanding of the RMA and what it was meant to achieve, Lauren Wallace chats to Jesse.

Why You Can't Miss This Episode Are you confident your wealth will stand the test of time? Or are you leaving your financial legacy vulnerable? This episode of Inspired Money takes you beyond basic portfolio talk and into practical wealth preservation strategies, from smart investing and tax planning to estate protection and next-gen philanthropy. With a powerhouse panel of financial experts, you'll learn real-world tactics to keep your money working for you, avoid costly mistakes, and build lasting financial resilience. Whether you're growing a nest egg or planning your retirement, this episode delivers the tools to protect what you've built and create a legacy that lasts.  Meet the Expert Panelists Dana Anspach, CFP®, RMA®, is the founder and CEO of Sensible Money. She's dedicated her career to helping people create sustainable retirement income plans. She's the author of “Control Your Retirement Destiny” and “Social Security Sense.” Dana's hands-on experience makes her a wealth of practical knowledge. https://www.sensiblemoney.com Jacqueline Schadeck, CFP®, AWMA®, is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, author, and speaker who helps individuals and families achieve financial clarity and build generational wealth. Inspired by her own family's experience with poor financial advice, she combines education, comprehensive planning, and community service to empower others toward long-term financial success. https://goldenws.com Kemberley “Kemcents” Washington, CPA, is a tax expert, journalist, and former IRS agent with over 20 years of experience helping individuals and communities navigate taxes and personal finance. A frequent contributor to Forbes Advisor and national media outlets like Good Morning America 3 and Fox Business, she is also the author of several books, including The Ten Commandments to Financial Healing and It All Starts with a Budget. https://www.kemberley.com Key Highlights 1. Rethinking the 60/40 Portfolio Dana Anspach challenges the traditional portfolio model, highlighting the need for personalized risk management: “It all comes down to being really clear on how you define risk… That's going to lead to different portfolio strategies that best protect against that risk.” From alternatives to ETFs, understanding your personal timeline and goals is key to crafting a resilient investment plan. 2. Modern Estate Planning Matters Kemberley Washington emphasizes staying on top of tax law changes and setting up basic legal documents, wills, trusts, powers of attorney, before moving to advanced strategies like donor-advised funds. Jacqueline Schadeck warns: “My fear is that everyone… is part of the 70% of Americans that don't actually have any estate documents in place.” Estate planning isn't optional. It's essential. 3. Business Entity & Asset Protection Simplified Entrepreneurs and investors risk everything when they mix personal and business assets. Dana Anspach shares: “You meet the wrong person at the wrong time and you never know what's going to happen… there may be simpler ways to get asset protection in place without the additional complexity.” Work with both a CPA and attorney to align legal structures, taxes, and retirement planning for maximum protection. 4. Next-Gen Philanthropy & Sustainable Investing Today's investors want more than returns—they want impact. From ESG investing to donor-advised funds, philanthropy offers tax efficiency, legacy building, and social good. Kemberley Washington notes: “More and more are not only thinking about ESG, but giving more impactful—maybe to a church, tithes, and different things of that nature.” Take Action: Protect Your Wealth Today My challenge to you this week: choose one area of your finances that feels exposed and commit to addressing it. Maybe that means calling your financial planner, researching asset protection strategies, or finally scheduling that estate planning meeting you've been putting off. Don't wait for the “perfect time.” Small steps now prevent big regrets later.
