The beliefs that got you here won't get you where you're going. Midlife is an invitation to unlearn outdated rules about food, productivity, body image, and people-pleasing. For women over 40 navigating perimenopause and identity shifts, letting go becomes powerful self-leadership.

Flounder with burnt butter, capers and parsley Cook time: 10 minutes Prep time: 10 minutes Serves: 6 12 flounder fillets 1 cup seasoned plain flour with salt and white pepper 4 tbsp sunflower oil 100 gm unsalted butter, cut into small cubes 2 lemons 4 tbsp capers 1/2 cup Italian parsley, chopped roughly Flaky salt and cracked pepper 1 dried chilli, crushed Heat two cast-iron pans over a low heat, before adding in the sunflower oil. Run the flounder fillets through the seasoned flour. Carefully place into the heated pan and cook until lightly coloured on one side before turning. Once you have flipped the fish, divide the butter into each pan and continue to cook, spooning the butter over the fish. This is a very fast process as you don't want to over cook the thin fillet. Once cooked, carefully remove the fish onto a preheated platter. Return the pan back to the heat and turn the heat up until the butter is becomes a rich golden brown. Add in the capers, parsley and chilli. Turn the pan off before squeezing the juice of the lemon to stop the butter from over cooking. Season with salt and a crack of pepper. Spoon the butter over the top of the fillets. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There is no easier or cleaner way to cook fish at home. This works with literally every fish you can think of, from boneless fillets to squid or prawns. Serves: 2 Time: 25 minutes Ingredients For the Fish: 2 skin-on fish fillets (snapper, or any white fish) Fresh herbs (optional) Salt and black pepper Oil, for cooking For the Potato Salad: 500g potatoes, sliced 1cm thick 1 pickle, chopped 1 tbsp capers, chopped ½ small red onion, thinly sliced 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp white wine vinegar Fresh herbs like basil or parsley (optional) Method Season the fish fillets with salt 5-10 minutes before cooking. Pat them very dry with a paper towel, then rub with oil. Add fresh herbs and pepper to the flesh side if desired. Bring a pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add the sliced potatoes and cook for 5-6 minutes until just tender. Drain well. While the potatoes cook, make the dressing: in a bowl, combine the pickle, capers, onion, olive oil, vinegar, and herbs. Add the hot potatoes and toss gently. Set aside. Heat a cast-iron or heavy-based pan over high heat. Place the fish fillets on a sheet of baking paper, then transfer them skin-side down into the hot pan. Cook on the skin side until the fish is almost cooked through (the flesh will turn opaque from the bottom up). This usually takes 4-6 minutes depending on thickness. Flip the fish for just a few seconds on the flesh side, then remove from the pan immediately. Serve the fish alongside the warm potato salad. Tips Dry skin = crispy skin. Patting the fish completely dry before cooking is the secret to perfectly crisp skin. Use baking paper: Placing the fish on a sheet of baking paper before adding to the pan prevents sticking and makes flipping easier. Adjust timing: Cooking time depends entirely on the thickness of your fillet. A good rule is about 3-4 minutes per centimetre of thickness on the skin side. Any fish works: This method is perfect for snapper, salmon, or even squid and prawns (adjust timing accordingly). LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if innovation is not about moving faster, but moving with purpose? In this episode of Innovators Inside, Ian Bergman sits down with Dr. Hisham Alasad, head of innovation enablement at Qatar Airways, to unpack a human-first view of innovation shaped by fintech, academia, and a bold move to Qatar. They break down what open banking really changes, why banks fight it, and how open finance could unlock better, cheaper products for consumers. Then they go deeper: why innovation requires overcoming fear, why closed systems stall progress, and what a “Responsible Innovation” framework could look like that is ethical, inclusive, scalable, and beneficial beyond the balance sheet. They close with a big vision: using AI to help create opportunity and peace in the Middle East.Topics & Timestamps

Title: Unbroken: Survival, Advocacy & Rebuilding After Trauma Tagline: You can be shattered — and still stand.

Production d'électricité : avec une quarantaine de jours de réserves d'huile lourde, Maurice envisage déjà des alternatives by TOPFM MAURITIUS

Sermon from Pastor Jim Stultz on March 1, 2026

What does authentic participation in that mission look like when the King returns? It is possible to affirm the mission intellectually while failing to embody it practically. It is possible to speak about evangelism while neglecting compassion. It is possible to defend doctrine while ignoring the vulnerable. Matthew 25 shifts focus from mandate to accountability, showing faith will be examined. The King who commands the Great Commission is the same King who identifies Himself with the hungry, the stranger, the sick, and the imprisoned.

Tebo Mpanza shares a message on how we can be a people who carry the posture of Jesus into every area of our lives.

Have you ever worked relentlessly toward a goal (a vision or a dream you once felt absolutely certain about) and suddenly it stops flowing? You're still trying. You're still showing up. But no matter how hard you push, it's not progressing the way it used to? You’re wondering: Does this mean I am ungrateful for wanting more? Am I self-sabotaging? Have I lost my magic touch? Is my manifestation ability broken? Or worse… am I about to ruin my life by walking away from something I fought so hard to build? I am seeing this collective theme everywhere right now… in my private practice, in conversations with friends, and inside my own life. What if this isn't failure at all? What if you are so greatly loved that you are being redirected to a version of your life or purpose that is better than you imagined? In this episode, I'm breaking down the shift from what I call Stage One manifestation (ego-based) to Stage Two manifestation (soul-aligned) through the lens of Numerology and your Life Path number. Did you know that very Life Path (1 through 9, including master numbers 11, 22, and 33) has its own evolutionary arc? There is what you were taught to chase… and there is what your soul is actually here to embody. If you feel like nothing is working the way it used to, if you can't manifest the way you once could, if you're trying harder but things keep collapsing, or if you secretly know something in your life is over… this episode will help you understand why. You didn't lose your magic. You’re mining for an elevated version of it. And your Life Path number may be revealing exactly where it went.

Send a textThe spark for a lasting show can be as simple as admitting “I hate writing” and picking up a mic. Carl sits down with Scott Maderer of Inspired Stewardship to unpack how a clear format, thoughtful promotion, and a service-first mindset turned a modest launch into a platform that fuels his business and book. We explore why choosing a medium that fits your strengths matters, how to build a repeatable production system, and what it really takes to grow an audience without chasing vanity metrics.Scott shares the messy truth behind his 2018 start: a delayed first release, tiny download counts, and lots of DIY learning. What changed the game wasn't a growth hack—it was treating every number as a person, showing up consistently, and going where podcast listeners already are. We dig into practical audience building strategies like guesting on aligned shows, writing narrative social posts that earn attention, and using email as a reliable engine. Along the way, Scott reveals why he remains audio-only, how listener habits guide that choice, and what he'd do differently if launching today, including starting with video to tap natural reach.We also get tactical about content design. Audio and video require different moves—describe visuals, tighten intros, and protect pacing so listeners aren't left behind. For episode length, the rule is value over minutes: beginners win with focused 10–20 minute shows, while seasoned hosts can lean into longer, deeper conversations that match their audience's appetite. Scott breaks down interview craft that converts—listening for the next question, pulling on moments of tension, and anchoring each episode around at least one clear point. His book journey ties it together: episodes became chapters, and relationships formed through the podcast opened doors to editors, publishers, and partners.Connect with Scott:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/csmaderer/Website:https://inspiredstewardship.com/ccc/https://inspiredstewardship.com/Support the showGot a question about something you heard today?

Jesus Serves His Disciples by Lighthouse Baptist Church | Williamsport, MD

Bromance Month goes dark again — really dark — with this new look at a hideous, landmark serial killing case, the first of its kind to be covered by national media as body after body was discovered inside a sweltering boat shed baking in the merciless heat of Houseton Texas. In THE SERIAL KILLER'S APPRENTICE, psychologist Katherine Ramsland — who also wrote a biography of Christopher's mother — interviews the imprisoned accomplice to Dean Corll, the so-called Candyman Killer, who tortured, murdered and raped young men throughout Texas in the 1960's. Was Wayne Henley a willing accomplice and a budding serial killer himself?  Or was he pitched into a state of "temporary psychopathy" by mean circumstances, a broken home and a ruthless killer and sadist who kept him in a state of fear?

In this evening Teatime, Miss Liz welcomes Peter Eberhardt, a former nationally ranked BMX racer turned real estate investor and house flipper.

After chasing Olympic-level BMX dreams and earning national rankings, Peter recognized the financial realities standing in his way.

About 25% of Americans can't get a credit card from a major bank, and more than half are one or two missed paychecks from a credit crisis. Yet most financial institutions still design their products for prime borrowers and pretend the rest of the market doesn't exist.In this episode of Banking Transformed, I sit down with Steve Min, Chief Credit Officer at Credit One Bank, who has built a business around the customers most banks would rather turn away. We talk about why two-thirds of consumers don't understand the basics of how their credit score is calculated, why the stigma around imperfect credit keeps people from getting help, and what it actually takes to rebuild a credit profileSteve explains how Credit One approaches risk differently, why its Credit Wreckers program teaches people what not to do with their credit, and how building financial momentum can help borrowers qualify for better products over time. If your institution claims to serve the underserved, this conversation will challenge whether you're actually doing it.Resources:CreditWreckers.comForWhatsAhead.comThis episode of Banking Transformed is sponsored by Credit One Bank Credit One Bank is a financial services company and one of the fastest-growing credit card issuers in the U.S. Founded in 1984 and headquartered in Las Vegas, Credit One Bank offers a full spectrum of credit card products including cash back and points-based cards as well as high-yield certificate of deposit and savings accounts.

What if buying a home isn't a transaction but a deeply emotional transition that reveals who you're becoming? In this episode, Scott Harris shares how he helps people navigate the emotional journey of finding their dream homes as the founder of Magnetic Real Estate, a boutique residential real estate brokerage in Manhattan. Scott has been a residential real estate agent in New York City for almost 23 years and has sold over $2 billion in real estate. Growing up as a child of divorce, he moved back and forth between his parents' houses approximately 500 times before turning 18, and when he started helping people buy homes, he realized he was healing the damage of being from a broken home himself. He nearly burned out in 2014 while building a team, emerging wiser with the realization that real estate is much more than a transaction. His innovative approach, The Magnetic Method, ensures clients attract homes that help them reach the fullest expression of who they're meant to be. Scott firmly believes real estate agents are doing sacred work, and he wrote "Pursue Your Home" to change the narrative around buying a home. Scott reveals the relationship that transformed his career: Howie Cusack, his mentor at a booking agency in Boston when Scott left college wanting to be in the music business while performing as a singer in a boy band acapella group. Howie took Scott on as an intern and trained him for six years, teaching him how to manage crazy artists, put complicated deals together, and navigate producing concerts and booking tours. Scott toured approximately 100,000 miles a year in an RV performing about a thousand shows opening for bands like NSYNC, working from dial-up internet as the original work-from-home person. When Scott moved to New York and got into real estate, he realized he was armed with incredible skills from Howie, plugging right into the business from day one. This foundation equipped Scott to deal with level-11 insane moments, like when a client called the night before a $7 million closing asking to borrow $350,000 in closing costs, and Scott channeled Howie's ballsy presence from when a reggae act pulled out a chainsaw demanding payment and Howie said "get your butt on stage, you know you're gonna get paid."   [00:05:20] Founder of Magnetic Real Estate Boutique residential real estate brokerage firm in Manhattan, New York City Been residential real estate agent in New York for almost 23 years Serves people buying and selling real estate in New York Connects with people all over the globe [00:07:40] Child of Divorce: Moving 500 Times Child of divorce, moved back and forth between parents until age 18 Did the math: moved about 500 times between their houses Started on rental side of business in New York, felt very transactional Got into sales and got such satisfaction from helping people buy homes [00:08:00] Healing Through Helping Others Find Home Finally put two and two together When helping people find homes, also doing work to heal damage of being from broken home himself When he bought home with his wife, it was same work To have a place that's really yours changed his life [00:09:20] Helping People Through Tough Things One of first sales: helping older Italian woman who was divorcee find home after bad divorce Got call from estate attorney representing Maurice Sendak's estate (wrote "Where the Wild Things Are") His estate went to serve organizations that helped kids Satisfying to know they were helping many people when they sold the apartment [00:12:00] Real Estate Agents Are Doing Sacred Work Firmly believes real estate agents are doing sacred work, really important work Some of most important work there is If people change the way they think about themselves and what they're doing, changes whole tenor Need to bring whole self into relationship with buyers and sellers [00:15:20] Started in Music Business as Intern When first left college, wanted to be in music business Also was singer and performer Got job as intern at booking agency (represents bands or talent buyer like clubs/colleges) Introduced to Howie Cusack in Boston [00:16:00] Learning to Sell Bands and Put Tours Together Real estate is competitive and hard, but go try to sell bands to bookers at clubs Or to college kids probably smoking weed half the time on phone calls Really hard to put tours together for bands Had amazing mentor in Howie, worked together for better part of six years [00:16:40] Producing Concerts is Multifaceted Producing concerts is so multifaceted Putting bands on road, booking tours, all those things All skills from working with Howie influenced way he plugged right into real estate business Right out of the gate, made huge impact on his life [00:17:40] Touring 100,000 Miles a Year Working phones from RV while doing 60,000 or 100,000 miles of touring a year Really grateful to Howie for making huge impact Had RV, went all around country performing at venues Boy band version of acapella group (like contemporary Pentatonix) with beatbox [00:18:20] Opening for NSYNC and Doing 1,000 Shows 23 to 24 years ago Opened for bands like NSYNC Did about 1,000 shows together when he was there Credits experience for making him appreciate giving back [00:18:40] Everyone's Got a Story Been to so many little towns: upstate New York, Indiana, Ohio, eastern seaboard, California Meet people living their lives, get to know them Everyone's got story to tell What's their superpower?

Banking isn't usually the first place we think about living out our faith. Yet for many believers, where we bank is becoming an important part of faithful stewardship. Financial institutions don't just hold our money—they decide how it's used, invested, and leveraged for impact.That's why faith-based banking is gaining attention. It offers Christians an opportunity to align everyday financial decisions with deeper convictions about money, integrity, and service.Today, we sat down with Aaron Caid, Chief Marketing Officer at Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU) and AdelFi, to talk about why believers may want to reconsider where they bank—and what truly matters when evaluating a financial institution.Start With the Basics: Stewardship Still Requires ExcellenceBefore talking about faith alignment, there's a practical reality we can't ignore: a bank still needs to do its job well.Good stewardship requires systems that are secure, efficient, and reliable. Strong digital tools, responsive customer service, and clear processes aren't luxuries—they're necessities. A banking partner should simplify your financial life, not complicate it with friction, confusion, or outdated technology. In other words, expecting excellence from your bank isn't selfish. It's wise.Once the basics are covered, a deeper question emerges: Does this institution share your values?Every bank makes decisions about how money is used and where it's invested. Those choices reflect a worldview—whether explicit or not. Faith-aligned banking starts from a biblical understanding of stewardship, integrity, and service, recognizing that money is a tool entrusted by God, not an end in itself.Where we bank, then, quietly reflects what we believe about the purpose of money.Faith That Shows Up in ActionOne of the distinctives of organizations like Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU) and AdelFi is that faith doesn't remain a mission statement—it's lived out through tangible generosity.Collectively, these organizations have more than 125 years of supporting Christian ministries, missionaries, church-planting efforts, and disaster relief. Together, they've given millions of dollars toward Christ-centered work around the world.Their impact goes beyond large-scale initiatives. Recent efforts include:Supporting financial discipleship resources for married couples, addressing one of the leading contributors to marital stress and divorce.Partnering with members to contribute over $10,000 to Operation Christmas Child, serving children in need, and sharing the love of Christ.Investing earnings back into members through better rates and lower fees—while also tithing corporately to support gospel work.This is what it looks like when banking becomes a shared mission rather than a purely transactional relationship.Red Flags That May Signal It's Time to Reconsider Your BankRegardless of where you bank today, there are warning signs that may indicate your institution isn't serving you—or your values—well:Unclear or high fees that quietly erode your savingsOutdated technology that complicates everyday money managementPoor access to real people when problems ariseBusiness practices or investments that conflict with your Christian convictionsFeeling like a number, rather than a valued customerThese issues don't just affect convenience—they affect stewardship.What the AdelFi Transition Means for MembersWith the merger of Christian Community Credit Union and AdelFi, members are already seeing expanded services, greater reach, and enhanced capabilities. The combined organization will soon operate under the AdelFi Christian Banking brand, positioning it as the largest Christian banking solution of its kind.The goal is simple: better serve individuals, families, churches, ministries, and Christian-owned businesses—while amplifying Kingdom impact.When financial services function well and align with your faith, your money can serve both your everyday needs and God's Kingdom purposes.As a special opportunity for Faith & Finance listeners, you can earn up to a $400 bonus when opening a qualifying high-yield checking or savings account—or a Visa cash back card.Visit FaithFi.com/Banking and enter code “FAITHFI” to learn more.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I've heard that Social Security limits how much you can have in savings—$2,000 for singles and $3,000 for couples—or you could lose benefits. Is that true?I'm 66 and will soon qualify for full Social Security, but I plan to keep working. I have about $45,000 in savings and am hesitant to invest it in the stock market given current market conditions. What should I do with that money?I want to honor God through generosity, but I give so much that my account sometimes goes negative. I still want to help people in need, but I know I need more wisdom and self-control. How can I balance generosity with saving, and are there any resources you'd recommend?I've set up my will and want to leave one-time gifts to several organizations. The funds are in my 401(k), and I plan to retire in 2027. Is it better to give while I'm alive or wait until after I die—especially from a tax standpoint and for my son?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU) | AdelFiNational Christian Foundation (NCF)Sound Mind Investing (SMI)Our Ultimate Treasure: A 21-Day Journey to Faithful StewardshipWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.
