Antisemitism on social media seems worse than ever. Scrolling through Instagram, X, or TikTok is enough to make any Jewish person hyperventilate. But are things as bad in real life as they are on the internet? And if not, how can we learn to take the trolling with a grain of (kosher) salt? There's no better guide than Mikey Greenblatt, who turns nasty comments on his posts into "Jewish Fan Mail." In a heart-to-heart with Noam, Mikey explains how his connection to audience members means so much more to him than vitriol from anonymous bots and trolls.

Send us Fan MailI went to Chicago for a work trip, had a great meeting, caught a Cubs game, and nothing bad happened. But being 12 hours from home by car meant something I did not expect to feel so sharply: I was 12 hours from my preps. No pantry. No familiar systems. No neatly organized gear. Just what I had in my head and what fit in a suitcase. That low-level hum of awareness kicked off a bigger conversation about something many of us in the prepping community rarely name out loud: the prepper bubble.We unpack what that bubble looks like, how podcasts and YouTube and social feeds can normalize disaster thinking, and why it is easy to mistake consuming preparedness content for doing preparedness. Watching a water storage video is not storing water. Scrolling grid-down scenarios is not the same as building skills, supplies, and routines that hold up under stress. We also get into the escalation problem, the endless “what if” treadmill that can make even well-stocked people feel like they are never ready, plus the identity trap that makes it hard to update beliefs once “prepper” becomes part of who you are.Then we bring it back to the most practical takeaway: sometimes the most prepared thing you can do is put the phone down, go outside, and reset your mind. Situational awareness is not just what is happening around you, it is what is happening inside your head, and an overwhelmed brain makes bad decisions. If you want preparedness that travels, focus on judgment, adaptability, and calm.

In this episode of the Executive Function Braintrainer Podcast, hosts Darius Namdaran and Dr. Erica Warren explore how scrolling and doom scrolling can hijack working memory, attention, cognitive flexibility, and emotional regulation. They explain how rapid streams of content can overwhelm the brain, limit meaningful processing, and place algorithms in control of what users notice and consume. The hosts also consider the benefits of social media, including repeated exposure to ideas, access to useful information, and connection with supportive communities. They share practical ways to scroll more intentionally, such as saving valuable content, setting timers, shaping algorithms through deliberate choices, and pausing to process what has been learned. They also discuss how parents can help children develop healthier digital habits through clear boundaries, open conversations, and age-appropriate oversight. Ultimately, the episode encourages listeners to use their executive functioning skills to take control of their scrolling instead of letting scrolling control them.Links:The Student Processing Inventory (SPI) https://goodsensorylearning.com/search?q=Student+processing+Inventory+and+YPPI Your Professional Processing Inventory (YPPI) https://goodsensorylearning.com/search?q=Student+processing+Inventory+and+YPPI Executive Functioning Coaching and Study Skills Certification Course: https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/teaching-EF-and-study-strategies EF Student Coaching with Erica:⁠⁠https://learningtolearn.biz/⁠⁠⁠⁠EF Adult Coaching with Erica:⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dropintoyourbestself.com/coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠Executive Function Products and Tools: https://goodsensorylearning.com/collections/executive-functioning-skills-trainingivvi notes: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ivvi.app⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Executive Functioning Resources: ⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/collections/executive-functioning-skills-training⁠⁠⁠Executive Functioning Assessments:⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://goodsensorylearning.com/search?type=product&q=EFCA⁠⁠⁠⁠Brought to you by:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ivvi.app⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://learningspecialistcourses.com⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/products/executive-functioning-coaching-assessment

Things get completely toxic on the Homie Helpline when a listener reveals her father lived a double life with 10 children and three different women, even tricking her into visiting her own siblings by calling them "cousins".

How much of your digital life are you actually choosing? In this episode of Books That Make You, author Heather Henderson joins Desireé Duffy to discuss her book, Reclaim: How to Stop Scrolling Through Your Life and Start Living It, and the subtle ways technology can shape our attention, habits, choices, and relationships. After spending a decade working inside technology companies including Google and Uber, Heather saw firsthand how deeply our digital environments can influence the way we live. She also experienced the personal cost of constant achievement and connection, including a stress-induced asthma attack while working at Google that forced her to reconsider the way she was living. Heather explains why she believes technology itself is not the enemy. Instead, the challenge is recognizing when unconscious habits begin making decisions for us. The conversation explores the five human needs Heather says we often turn to technology to meet: ease, distraction, connection, growth, and impact. She also introduces her digital regulator archetypes, including "the watcher," and explains how identifying the emotional needs behind our digital habits can help us make more intentional choices. Heather and Desireé also discuss "growth theater," the habit of consuming endless self-improvement content without applying what we learn, and Heather's one-to-one rule for turning information into action. What would change if you stopped measuring your life by what you captured, posted, or consumed—and started paying closer attention to the moments you were actually living?

A client DM about a fancy body-composition scale sends Krysta down a rabbit hole about why we're all so obsessed with gathering more data, more tools, and more frameworks — and why that obsession is quietly becoming our favorite form of procrastination. In this episode we dive into:• Why "I need more information" has become the most respectable-looking excuse for not taking action• How to tell the difference between genuinely useful data and anxiety dressed up as research• The real reason your consistency streaks don't add up the way you think they do• A simple 5-question filter to run before you buy the next tool, course, or coachThe Information Trap• A client asks about a fancy body-fat scale — and it turns out the real driver is anxiety, not data• We can now track nearly everything: sleep, HRV, macros, funnel conversions, open rates• Availability of information is starting to masquerade as necessity — being able to know something doesn't mean you need to• Watching everyone else's scans and rings online makes you wonder if that's the missing piece you're behind onWhy This Feels So Comforting• A "missing variable" is comforting because it means the past wasn't your fault — you just didn't have the right tool yet• Krysta's honest audit of her own nutrition tracking showed she wasn't nearly as consistent as she believed• Scrolling for the next framework or hack can quietly become procrastination that feels like progress• Pulling back from social media and asking "what am I here for?" led to more creativity, not lessBuilding Evidence You Can Actually Trust• Taking longer on something, like a client presentation, can prove you've leveled up — not that you're behind• Real self-trust means taking action before you feel certain, then using the results as evidence• Krysta's 45+ pound nutrition transformation came from raising her standards everywhere, not chasing a new supplement or metric• Relationships hold up a mirror — the standards she built for herself became the ones she wanted in a partnerFix Tip of the WeekBefore you add another tool, metric, or challenge, ask:• What exact problem am I expecting this to solve?• What decision will I make differently once I have this info?• Have I really followed through enough on what I know to say it isn't working?• Am I looking for information, or just reassurance?• If I follow through, then what happens next?No Such Thing of the WeekThere is no such thing as a piece of information that can replace the power of simply following through.Whether you're eyeing a new gadget for your fitness plateau or a new framework for your content, the answer usually isn't out there — it's in doing what you already know to do, long enough to find out what happens.Looking for more on this topic?

Where did ESPN’s scrolling football scores go?

Welcome to the new week!  College football’s second week featured a few upsets and some late game rallies (nicely done, University of Texas!).  The NFL’s Week #1 finally got underway with a few surprises.  In golf, America’s best female players were defeated by Team Europe in Sunday’s Solheim Cup final matches. But first… Remember those scrolling football scores at the bottom of your TV screen? That never-ending ribbon of both college and NFL scores seems to have vanished from ESPN’s family of companies beginning this football season. Why? ESPN recently said, “By removing the BottomLine during live action, we’re creating a cleaner presentation that keeps the focus where it belongs – on the field.” Sorry, Pinocchio.  I’m not buying that one. It is my opinion that the sports giant ditched the popular score ribbon so that TV viewers would not be able to easily locate a more compelling game to watch (especially if that other game is being carried on a competitor’s network). My own Saturday night proved that point.  I watched much of the Louisiana Tech vs LSU game from Baton Rouge. LSU emerged from a narrow 10-7 halftime lead to post an easy 45-14 victory as the Tigers’ offense caught fire in the final two quarters. In years gone by, I would have been following the ESPN score ticker along the bottom of my TV screen in search of a more compelling game.  Fortunately for me, I checked in on the Ohio State vs. Texas game at the end of three quarters. The #4 Longhorns trailed by 20 points against #1 Ohio State entering the final quarter.  Texas caught fire offensively to score the game’s final 21 points and take a thrilling 24-23 win on a touchdown with just 25 seconds remaining. What is the real reason that ESPN dropped the on-screen sports ticker? Money, of course. They are trying to get viewers to stay with one football game as long as possible.  The sales teams for the ESPN family of companies has likely heard complaints from its major advertisers – especially those buying ads in the second half of games.  The network’s viewer-friendly sports ticker has accidentally created viewer defections toward more competitive match-ups. Viewers could change to watch a more compelling game being carried by a competitor such as FOX Sports, NBC, or even the CW Network.  If the self-proclaimed sports leader had not received negative feedback from its advertisers, the sports score ticker/ribbon would still be on your screen during football games. The departure of ESPN’s score ticker at the bottom of your television screen will have another desirable effect for ESPN.  Millions of frustrated viewers will visit the ESPN.com website to receive their score updates. ESPN’s website traffic will balloon on game days and, of course, represent a new advertising vehicle. But keep this in mind.  ESPN’s television advertisers may find that fans will become more likely to neglect watching their very pricey ads.  Viewers will now utilize more time during ESPN’s lengthy three-to-four minute commercial breaks to search online for other scores. I turned on ESPN and the SEC Network earlier today (Monday).  I was a bit surprised to find that (gasp!) the bottom line sport ticker was still in use on weekdays! Yes, ESPN is utilizing it primarily to, among other things, promote their own slate of shows and upcoming football games. I’m not falling for the excuse that “It’s cleaner for viewers to enjoy the game experience”. If true, why not remove it from all of your shows during the rest of the week, too? College Football – Week #2’s game of the week Fans of wrestling legend “The Undertaker” could appreciate how the Texas Longhorns came to life after nearly being pronounced dead at the start of the fourth quarter. Austin, Texas reached a scorching 101 degrees on Saturday.  The heat and the pressure finally got to #1 Ohio State late in this game.  Ohio State surrendered a 23-3 fourth quarter lead to give the rejuvenated Horns a 24-23 come from behind victory on Saturday night. Texas was able to exact a little revenge after Ohio State’s 14-7 win last season in Columbus.  Texas (2-0) just replaced the Buckeyes as #1 in the AP’s way-to-early Poll released on Monday.  Ohio State (1-1) dropped to #6. Duck hunting season began in Stillwater Saturday afternoon! As mentioned here last week, the much ballyhooed Oregon Ducks did not look like national title contenders after barely taking down Boise State in Week #1. The Ducks flew eastward to Stillwater, Oklahoma last Saturday and were attacked by swarms of Oklahoma State hunters.  OSU was embarrassed by regional rival Tulsa 24-10 in its first game.  The Cowboys came into Saturday’s match-up with Oregon having lost 21 straight games to FBS (large division) schools. Okie State dominated this game from start to finish. They rolled-up 554 yards of total offense compared to Oregon’s 281. Oklahoma State has a new head coach (Eric Morris from N. Texas) who signed dozens of his former Mean Green players from last year’s 12-2 team to join him. James Madison tied an NCAA record Sun Belt Conference member James Madison trounced Wagner from the FCS 87-3 on Saturday in Harrisonburg, Virginia.  The 84-point win erased Louisiana Tech’s 80-6 win over Northwestern State in Week #1 as the largest rout of the 2026 season. Did you know that the JMU Dukes scored three of its touchdowns on punt returns? Two came via the conventional route as Michael Scott fielded two punts and returned them for scores.  A third punt-related touchdown came after the visiting Seahawks from Staten Island, New York had a punt blocked by JMU.  The loose ball was picked-up by special teamer Michael Halbert who ran it in for a touchdown. This trifecta of touchdowns scored by James Madison off the opposing team’s punts tied an NCAA record. Southern Cal was the last FBS team to accomplish this feat in 2013. The NFL’s Week #1 featured few surprises but… If you are a fan of the Miami Dolphins, Tennessee Titans, or Cleveland Browns, it’s time to create an appropriate paper bag to wear while watching your team this fall. They stink – again. A Super Bowl rematch featuring Seattle and New England produced a 13-10 win for the Seahawks as Patriots’ quarterback Drake Maye tossed an ugly interception deep in Seattle territory to end the game. Minnesota Vikings new starting quarterback Kyler Murray went down in the first quarter with a concussion.  The Vikings opted to turn to veteran Carson Wentz and not former first round pick J.J. McCarthy.  This turned out to be a good move as the Vikes reeled-off 22 straight points in the final quarter to down hated rival Green Bay 39-22. Didn’t you expect the Dallas Cowboys’ defense to be a little better this year?  They were 32nd out of 32 teams last year. Alas, the visitors from Texas allowed 29 first downs and nearly 400 yards of total offense as the New York Giants claimed a 28-20 win over the Cowboys. A bigger concern for Dallas fans was the puny 244 yards of total offense generated by its highly paid offense.  The $60 million dink-passing quarterback Dak Prescott completed 22 of 34 passes for only 175 yards. The biggest surprise from Week #1 for me was the Los Angeles Rams’ 27-7 loss to NFC West rival San Francisco.  This game was played in front of 100,000 fans in Melbourne, Australia.  Los Angeles’ vaunted offense tallied just 290 total yards as the 49ers controlled this game from start to finish. The Rams have said this season is considered “Super Bowl or Bust”.  They now have a flat tire to repair after Week #1. Golf news – Europe smashed US women to reclaim the Solheim Cup Team Europe apparently took offense after USA’s Jennifer Kupcho rolled in a 93-foot birdie putt on hole #17 and then added a 25-footer on #18 Saturday to win her Solheim Cup match.  Kupcho roared “Vamos – Let’s Go!” and taunted the crowd as the day ended with the Solheim Cup matches tied at eight points apiece. The team competition was over.  Sunday’s singles matches would decide the winner. Team Europe came out Sunday wearing their “Do Not Adjust your TV Set” vibrant blue and yellow golf apparel. Thousands of Netherlands golf fans helped to try and unravel the American golfers.  Speakers around the course blared loud music much like at a LIV Golf event.  Local fans even chanted the refrain from The Beatles’ “Hey, Jude” for several minutes. It worked as Team Europe earned a 15-13 victory Sunday.  The final point which was clinched after Jennifer Kupcho of the US lost in her singles match. Europe won the Solheim Cup to honor their recently retired 39-year old Swedish team captain Anna Nordqvist.  It was the fourth European win in the past five of these biennial golf matches. The 2028 Solheim Cup comes to Louisville, Kentucky’s Valhalla Golf Club.  There will be plenty of enthusiastic American golf fans, music, and, of course, some colorful golf apparel on display. In the men’s Ryder Cup and the women’s Solheim competitions, Europe has dominated the past few decades by focusing on teamwork.  The US needs to foster more camaraderie long before these matches begin.

A Prayer to Forgo Comparison

Scrolling through social media on a day that already feels heavy is one of the fastest ways to make a hard day harder. A friend's vacation photos, another's daughter's list of achievements, before-and-after weight loss pictures — and within minutes, the comparison game is in full swing. The problem is that every time we play, we lose. Every single time. Comparison leaves us bankrupt, and we rarely count the cost before we begin. Comparison is not a new problem. It started in the Garden of Eden when Eve weighed what God had said against what the serpent was offering and decided to trade what she had for something that looked better. The same lie that powered that original comparison still circulates today: you are not enough, you do not have enough, someone else has what you should have. At its core, comparison is a heart issue rooted in fear — fear of inadequacy, fear of missing out, fear that others are more valued or more favored. And it costs us more than just a bad mood. It warps our identity, steals our sense of destiny, and causes us to miss the doors God is opening right in front of us while we are staring out the window at someone else's life. Galatians 6:4 offers a profoundly liberating alternative: test your own actions and take pride in your own progress, without measuring yourself against anyone else. Compare today's growth to yesterday's, not someone else's highlight reel. There is only one way to truly live — the way God made you — and that is more than enough. Bible Verse "Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else."— Galatians 6:4, NIV Ponder Today Every time we play the comparison game, we lose. There is no version of comparing ourselves to others that ends in genuine contentment. It leaves us feeling bankrupt every single time, and the cost is higher than we count before we begin. Comparison is fear-based, rooted in the lie that we are not enough. It rises from insecurity, the fear of missing out, and the false belief that others are more valued or more favored. Naming it for what it is is the beginning of freedom from it. What someone else has was never meant for you. God has a specific plan for your life that cannot be fulfilled by pursuing someone else's path or chasing someone else's validation. Trading your destiny for what another person has will never take you where you need to go. Comparison causes us to miss the doors God is opening in front of us. When our eyes are fixed on someone else's life, we fail to notice the opportunities and invitations that are already right in front of us, waiting for our attention. Compare today's growth to yesterday's, not to someone else's highlight reel. The question is not whether you measure up to another person. It is whether you are improving, growing, and becoming more of who God created you to be. A Prayer for You Today Heavenly Father, we renounce all comparisons and lay down the need to judge ourselves against others. Comparison is not of You. We thank You for making us fearfully and wonderfully — You do not make mistakes, and our individual qualities and quirks are specially designed by You, our Master Creator. May we learn to embrace who You created us to be and remind ourselves each day of what You say about us. In Your great name, Amen. Want More?

The SPARK Method: A Storytelling Framework That Makes People Stop Scrolling

If social media feels like a drag — or it isn't working as fast as it needs to — I want you to hear this: Your content probably isn't underperforming because you don't post enough. It's underperforming because you're not telling stories. You're stating facts. And facts don't move people. Facts don't build trust. Stories do. In this episode, I'm handing you something I wish somebody had handed me years ago: a dead-simple storytelling framework called SPARK. You can use it for a reel, a caption, an email, or even a podcast episode. If you're tired of posting into the void — tired of "five tips for better gut health" getting twelve likes from your mom and your business bestie — this one's for you.   In This Episode, We Cover Why "post more" doesn't fix underperforming content Why facts educate but stories connect What people actually buy from a coach (hint: it's belief) Why Google, ChatGPT, and freebies can't replace your story Permission to stop calling storytelling "oversharing" The SPARK method: Situation, Problem, Action, Result, Key takeaway How specificity makes people feel seen — not just informed Naming the real problem underneath the surface problem How to show a result people can actually picture Using SPARK for reels (hook, middle, CTA) Turning client testimonials into stories people finish reading Why one post should carry one SPARK — not your whole biography How storytelling rewrites your relationship to your own story   A Message I Want You to Hear A lot of coaches avoid storytelling because it feels exposing. It feels like too much. You've been trained — by school, by corporate jobs, by the one client who made a snide comment once — to keep it professional, polished, and informational. But people don't buy information. Information is everywhere. Google has it. ChatGPT has it. Your competitor's freebie has it. What people buy is belief. Belief that you understand them. Belief that transformation is possible. Belief that you're the one who can guide them there. And belief isn't built with bullet points. It's built with story. So I want you to let go of the idea that sharing your story is oversharing. It's not oversharing. It's strategy.   Why Your Content Underperforms Here's the truth I keep hearing from clients: Social media feels like a drag. Or it's not converting as fast as it needs to. So they post more tips. More carousels. More "value." And still feel like they're posting into the void. The problem usually isn't volume. It's that the content sells facts instead of telling stories. Facts can educate. Stories make someone stop scrolling, screenshot the post, and send it to a friend. If your content isn't landing, ask yourself: Am I informing people — or am I helping them feel understood?   The SPARK Method I'm giving you a five-part framework called SPARK. You can use it for a reel, a caption, an email, or even a podcast. Grab a pen. S is for Situation. Start by painting the before picture — where you were, or where your client was, before the transformation. Be specific. Not, "I used to feel tired." Try, "I was setting three alarms just to convince myself to get out of bed, and I still hit snooze on all of them." Specificity is what makes people feel seen — not just informed. P is for Problem. Name the real problem. Not the surface-level one. The surface problem might be "I wasn't sleeping." The real problem underneath is often something like, "I didn't believe I deserved rest until I earned it." That's the line that makes somebody screenshot your post. A is for Action. What did you actually do? This is where you get to be the expert without sounding like a lecture. Walk them through the turning point — the one decision, the one conversation, the one framework that changed things. R is for Result. Show the after. Again: specific, not vague. Not, "I feel so much better now." Try, "Six months later, I wake up before my alarm and I don't hate my life at 6:00 AM anymore." Give people something they can picture. K is for Key takeaway. This is the bridge back to your audience. This is where you turn your story into their possibility. One line. Something like: "If you're setting three alarms too, this isn't a discipline problem — it's a self-worth problem, and that's fixable." Situation. Problem. Action. Result. Key takeaway. SPARK. That's the framework.   How to Actually Use SPARK A framework you don't use is just a cute acronym. First, use SPARK for your reels. Situation and Problem are your hook — the first three seconds. Action and Result carry the middle. Key takeaway is your caption or your call to action. Second, use it for client stories — not just your own. Same structure: Situation, Problem, Action, Result, Key takeaway. This is how you turn a testimonial into a story people actually read all the way through instead of skimming past. Third — and this is the part people skip: Don't try to tell the whole story in one post. One post. One SPARK. You have hundreds of these stories in your life and in your client work. Stop trying to cram your whole biography into a single caption. Zoom in. You can also turn a bigger transformation into a series: My client's transformation — one SPARK at a time.   Storytelling Is Stepping Into Your Power Storytelling isn't a content tactic bolted onto your marketing. It's an act of stepping into your power. Every time you tell the truth about where you started, you're doing two things at once: You're building trust with your audience. And you're rewriting your own relationship to your story. I know how easy it is to over-apologize for taking up space. To soften your story until it's polished and safe and forgettable. I want you to notice that instinct — and do the opposite. Tell it specific. Tell it honest. Tell it like it happened. That's what makes people stop scrolling. Not perfection. True.   Your Action Step Take one story — yours or a client's — and run it through SPARK this week. Situation. Problem. Action. Result. Key takeaway. Post it. Then come back and notice how it landed. Don't try to tell everything. One post. One SPARK.   Final Thoughts You don't need more tips lists. You need stories that build belief. Your depth, your turning points, and your honest "before" pictures are not liabilities. They're the reason someone will trust you with their transformation. Keep showing up. Tell it specific. Tell it honest. Your message matters.   Resources Website: https://rachelafeldman.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rachelafeldman Done-for-you offers for health coaches: https://yourhealthcoachbiz.com Need help building your low-ticket or high-ticket coaching offer?
