Back into the water today with an explosive episode focusing on early vertical forearm and the catch. We get into things like the proper entry, whether or not you should glide, and how to get maximum efficiency from your stroke. We go over tons of typical mistakes by triathletes, including diving too deep with your hand. We look at a few great drills and how they can help you develop better form and be more economical, which is the key to great triathlon swimming. We talk about technique sets vs. swimming long just to build yards. We get into efficiency, anxiety, and how to build confidence in the water. Sometimes it's just hard because you think you're bored. Start slow. Be patient. Build. Topics: Snow shoveling tips Swim as compared to a bike fit Body position and breathing Early Vertical Forearm - what does it mean The catch phase - propulsion Bad return on investment Why hand control is underrated Should you "glide?" What about entry Should fingers be spread open? Diving too deep with the hand Understanding early vertical forearm "leverage" Hip driven freestyle Shoulder over elbow over wrist Paddle and visual cues Tarzan drill and swimming with balls Long sets with rocks Skulling 24 x 100 or 2400 straight? Efficiency is speed Stop obsessing about yardage every time Maximum efficiency Economical athletes get the most return Shorter technique driven swims Getting faster with better form Fear and anxiety vs. confidence Take time to be more efficient Sometimes it's just hard because you think you're bored.   Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com

Episode Summary: Today we’re tackling a topic that hits many people hard each January: “Blue Monday.” You may have heard it called “the most depressing day of the year”: a day when motivation runs low, bills come due, and the sparkle of the holidays fades into the grayness of winter. But is “Blue Monday” real? Why do so many people feel down this time of year? And what can you do, spiritually, emotionally, and physically, to climb out of the slump and find renewed hope? If you’ve ever felt like the light of Christmas faded too fast or that you’re struggling to find joy in January, this episode is for you. In this episode, I share How to Beat the Blues: Finding Hope When “Blue Monday” Hits. We unpack where the idea of “Blue Monday” came from, what really contributes to winter sadness, how to recognize when it’s more than just a passing mood, and how God invites us to nurture our mind and soul even in the darkest season. Quotables from the episode: Every January, the search engines light up with people looking for answers about “Blue Monday.” Some call it the most depressing day of the year. But here’s the truth: God doesn’t mark any day on His calendar as hopeless. Even when science can explain some of the factors that make us feel low, Scripture reminds us in John 1:5 that “the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” So today, let’s uncover both the science and the Savior’s invitation to find peace, joy, and renewed perspective, no matter what your calendar says. Part 1: Where “Blue Monday” Came From The term “Blue Monday” actually originated not from a psychologist or neuroscientist, but from a marketing campaign in the early 2000s. A British travel company wanted to boost winter vacation sales and partnered with a psychologist to create a formula that supposedly calculated the “most depressing day of the year.” They based it on factors like weather, debt level, time since Christmas, failed New Year’s resolutions, and low motivation. The date usually lands on the third Monday in January. But here’s what’s interesting: the science behind it was never validated. It was largely pseudoscience; a catchy idea meant to sell trips to sunny places! Yet it resonated with people because, truthfully, many do feel a dip in mood this time of year. Why? There’s a real physiological and psychological basis for that. Shorter daylight hours disrupt our circadian rhythm and lower serotonin levels—our brain’s natural mood stabilizer. Colder temperatures mean less outdoor activity and fewer endorphins. Holiday aftermath leaves us financially stretched and emotionally fatigued. Unmet resolutions of ourselves or others stir up shame or disappointment. So while “Blue Monday” may not be an official scientific day, it does point to something many experience: what we might call the post-holiday blues or seasonal affective slump. Part 2: How to Identify It Let’s talk about how you can tell if what you’re feeling is just a short-term dip or something more concerning. Here are some common symptoms of the “Blue Monday” slump: Low motivation or energy Irritability or tearfulness Difficulty concentrating Changes in sleep or appetite Feeling disconnected or unproductive Hopeless thoughts like “What’s the point?” If you’ve noticed these for a few days after the holidays, you’re not alone. Our brains and bodies crave rhythm and light—and winter often disrupts both. But sometimes, what starts as a temporary funk can evolve into something more serious like Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) or Major Depression. Part 3: When to Seek Professional Help Seek professional help if: Your sadness lasts more than two weeks. You lose interest in things you usually enjoy. Your sleep or appetite drastically change. You feel worthless, helpless, or hopeless. You find yourself withdrawing from others. You experience thoughts of death or suicide. Those are not signs of weakness—they’re signals from your body and brain that you need care and support. Just as you’d seek medical help for persistent pain, it’s wise to seek mental health help for persistent sadness. As a neuropsychologist, I’ve seen firsthand that depression and anxiety are treatable. There are excellent therapies, medical interventions, and lifestyle approaches that can help. But the first step is reaching out. And as a believer, I want you to know this: needing help does not make you a failure of faith. God often works through professionals to bring healing. He created our minds and bodies with complexity, and He delights when we care for them wisely. Remember Elijah in 1 Kings 19? He was exhausted, afraid, and said, “It is enough; now, Lord, take my life.” God didn’t rebuke him. God fed him, let him rest, and then gently spoke truth to him. That’s a model of divine compassion toward our emotional distress. Part 4: How to Take Care of Yourself If you’re feeling those “Blue Monday” blues—or a longer winter sadness—here are practical, biblically grounded ways to care for your mind, body, and spirit. 1. Get More Light Exposure to sunlight—or a light therapy box—can boost serotonin and regulate your circadian rhythm. Genesis 1:3 says, “And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” Light was His first gift to creation, and it still brings life today. 2. Move Your Body Exercise increases endorphins and dopamine, improving both energy and outlook. You don’t need to run a marathon—start with a short walk or stretch. 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 reminds us our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. Caring for them is an act of worship. 3. Nurture Connection When we isolate, sadness grows louder. Reach out to a friend, attend a Bible study, or volunteer. Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 says, “Two are better than one… if either of them falls down, one can help the other up. 4. Adjust Your Expectations After the holidays, it’s easy to compare today’s ordinary moments to the excitement of December. Give yourself permission to slow down, to reset. The Bible gives us multiple examples of Jesus, the Son of God, taking time to rest. If He needed rest, why would we expect differently of ourselves? Matthew 11:28—“Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”* 5. Feed Your Spirit Immerse yourself in Scripture, prayer, and worship music. Depression dims perspective, but God’s Word renews it. Psalm 42:11 “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him.” 6. Practice Gratitude Gratitude activates brain regions associated with joy and resilience. Even small blessings count—warm coffee, a friend’s text, a sunset. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 7. Set Rhythms of Rest Winter is nature’s reminder to rest. God Himself modeled rest on the seventh day—not from exhaustion, but completion. Rest refuels your mind and aligns your soul with His peace. Part 5: Reframing the Season Maybe this January feels heavy. Maybe you’re tired of gray skies or unmet resolutions. But let’s reframe it: What if winter isn’t a punishment, but an invitation? An invitation to slow down. To nurture your inner life. To rediscover hope not in circumstances, but in Christ Himself. Remember: no day is truly “blue” when it’s covered by God’s grace. He specializes in turning mourning into dancing, ashes into beauty, and despair into praise (Isaiah 61:3). The same God who paints the sunrise after the darkest night will bring light to your soul again. Friend, if you’re listening today and feeling the weight of winter, know this: you are not alone. God sees you. He is not disappointed by your sadness; He is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). There’s no shame in reaching for help—from Him, from loved ones, or from professionals. Healing doesn’t mean pretending everything is fine; it means letting God meet you in the reality of your pain. Scripture References: John 1:5 “the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” 1 Kings 19 “It is enough; now, Lord, take my life.” Genesis 1:3 says, “And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” Ecclesiastes 4:9–10, “Two are better than one… if either of them falls down, one can help the other up.” Matthew 11:28 “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Psalm 42:11 “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” Isaiah 61:3 “and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.” Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Recommended Resources: Sacred Scars: Resting in God’s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner AWSA 2024 Golden Scroll Christian Living Book of the Year and the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Christian Living and Non-Fiction categories YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises from God to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, AWSA Member of the Year, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Devotional category, the 2023 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 1 YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 2 Revive & Thrive Women’s Online Conference Revive & Thrive Summit 2 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 1 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 2 Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2020 Best Christian Living Book First Place, the first place winner for the Best Christian Living Book, the 2020 Carolina Christian Writer’s Conference Contest winner for nonfiction, and winner of the 2021 Christian Literary Award’s Reader’s Choice Award in all four categories for which it was nominated (Non-Fiction Victorious Living, Christian Living Day By Day, Inspirational Breaking Free and Testimonial Justified by Grace categories.)

The post-holiday slump is real. After the mad rush of the holiday travel season, it can be tempting to spend the rest of winter on the couch. But those who don't leave home might be missing out on one of the best travel seasons in Oregon. On this week's episode of the Peak Northwest podcast, we dive into the post-holiday travel season – a small window of time when tourist towns are free of crowds and hiking trails, while muddy, are beautiful in the crisp (or soggy) winter afternoons. Here are some highlights from this week's show: How New Year's resolutions, even if simple intentions, can get you back outside. Some of the best snow-free hiking trails around Portland. The off-season can be a great time to visit some of the Pacific Northwest's busiest tourist towns. Shorter days make great excuses to take day trips to explore local small towns.

Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican superstar known as Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is dominating headlines this week with buzz around his Super Bowl LX halftime show and award nominations. Fans are venting frustration on TikTok and Reddit over a strict height requirement for the field cast positions in his February 8 performance at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The Independent reports the original job ad from Backlit Support sought participants between 5'7” and 6'0” with a slender to athletic build, able to handle costumes up to 40 pounds for structured movements, not dancing. Shorter fans like one TikToker at 5'5” posted, “Like come on Benito, why you doing us shorties like that?” while another lamented being 5'3”. The listing closed but reopened with an even taller range of 5'10” to 6'1” for updated production needs, paying $18.70 hourly without game tickets, as confirmed by USA Today and The National Desk. This marks Bad Bunny's second Super Bowl appearance after guesting with J Balvin in 2020 for Jennifer Lopez and Shakira.Meanwhile, Latin Times announces Bad Bunny leads Premio Lo Nuestro 2026 nominations alongside Rauw Alejandro, Myke Towers, and Carín León in a male-dominated field. His track DTMF tops with nods in Song of the Year, Urban Song of the Year, and Pop Urbano Song of the Year, while his album Debí Tirar Más Fotos competes for Album of the Year. The awards air February 19 on Univision from Miami, right after his Super Bowl historic set as the first solo male Latin artist, expected fully in Spanish. Japan Travel highlights his massive Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour hitting Tokyo in 2026, part of a stadium run that sold 2.6 million tickets in a week since late 2025.Social media also buzzes with fan edits and AI tracks mimicking his style, like a viral “Te Olvido Mañana” video, but no official new releases this week.Thanks for tuning in, listeners.

Detroit Lions Podcast: Seth McLaughlin Scouting Report The Signing and the Bet The Detroit Lions added center Seth McLaughlin on a futures reserve contract. It is a calculated bet. He went undrafted because he tore his Achilles in November 2024 while playing for Ohio State. The Cincinnati Bengals signed him after the draft and kept him on the practice squad. Now he is a Detroit Lion with a clean lane to compete at his natural spot. McLaughlin started at Alabama and Ohio State. Three years. Big stages. Pro style offenses. He handled pressure and tempo. That background fits what the NFL asks of a center. The Detroit Lions Podcast dives into why this move makes sense and what it will require. Strengths That Play on Sundays McLaughlin's calling card is pre-snap recognition. He diagnoses fronts, calls out pressure, and sets protection. He gets linemen on the same page. That shows up snap after snap on his Alabama and Ohio State tape. His technique is crisp. He fires off the ball with square pads and tight hands. His placement sits right in the middle of the shoulder pads. When a bull rush jars him, his feet reset fast. He re-squares his shoulders and hips, stays engaged, and avoids getting too wide. He keeps his balance. He also brings a bit of snarl. In space, he finds work. On stretch runs, he tracks and cuts off the backside linebacker. That second-level timing is real. It translates to NFL run concepts the Lions use. Risks, Role, and Room for Growth The injury is the headline. An Achilles is unpredictable, and he missed his entire rookie season. The other constraint is position. He is a center only. Shorter arms and his build make guard a poor fit. He is more weight-room strong than road grader strong. There are technical blemishes. He had penalties. He had snapping issues, more at Alabama, with a couple at Ohio State. Some were poorly timed. He has worked to fix them. For a center-only player, clean snaps are non-negotiable. That must hold in Detroit. Draft View and Path to Detroit Before the injury, he profiled as a mid-round target. He was viewed as a top-100 caliber player if healthy, with top-75 talk in optimistic moments. He went undrafted because of the Achilles, landed in Cincinnati, and spent most of the year on the practice squad. The Lions now give him a shot to prove the traits survived the rehab. The evaluation track record around him adds context. In the same interior line study that highlighted McLaughlin, Tate Ratledge was pegged as a second-round pick for Detroit, and he wound up being that. The process here is consistent. For the Detroit Lions, this is a smart, low-cost swing at center. If the health cooperates, the NFL-ready mind and technique can pay off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL6CaCphL_0 #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #sethmclaughlin #detroitlionscenter #futuresreservecontract #undraftedfreeagent #cincinnatibengalspracticesquad #achillestearnovember2024 #ohiostatecenter #alabamacenter #pre-snaprecognition #linecallsandadjustments #second-levelblocking #backsidelinebackeronstretchruns #shortarmsatcenter #snappingissuesatalabama #tateratledgesecondroundpick Learn more about your ad choices.

Happy New Year. Are you ready to stop waiting for permission to be yourself? I'm kicking off my 20th season with something different. Shorter shows during the week, deeper conversations on weekends. Six minutes of daily fuel Monday through Friday, then we go deep where it counts. Today, we're talking about the two things you were born with that nobody can take away—free will and your unique way of doing things. You're already using them whether you know it or not. The question is, are you doing it on purpose? Featured Story My son-in-law spends most of his time as a pharmacist. Good living helps people and does important work. But ask him what he does when he's doing him? Fishing and hunting. That's it. Most of us live in that gap. We spend our days doing what needs to be done, but when nobody's telling us what to do, when we're on our own to fill our own time, we become somebody different. Someone more real. I see it in my coaching work all the time. Successful business people, high-end professionals, and entrepreneurs running the show. They're crushing it by everyone else's standards. But they come to me because they're not doing it their way. Important Points You already have free will, and you're using it right now, even if you think someone else is calling the shots. When I do things somebody else's way in my writing, speaking, or coaching work, that's when I become ineffective. Ask yourself what you do when you're doing you, and something tangible will come to mind that you've been ignoring. Memorable Quotes "You're going to do every single thing in your life your way anyway. Accept that and start doing it on purpose." "When I get in trouble with my work, it's when I do it somebody else's way. That's when I'm not effective at all." "The whole world's waiting for you to show up as yourself. Nobody's judging you. They're waiting for the real you." Scott's Three-Step Approach Ask yourself what you do when you're doing you, when nobody's telling you what to do, and you're on your own time. Pay attention to what comes to mind immediately, because that's your true self trying hard to get your attention. Give yourself permission to bring more of that authentic self into everything you do, starting right now.

A Christmas Collapse in Minnesota The Detroit Lions turned a dominant defensive effort into a bitter loss on Christmas. They fell to the Minnesota Vikings despite allowing only three net passing yards until the final snap. The NFL will not remember the style points. It will remember six Detroit giveaways and one back-breaking coverage bust. That was the difference in a game the Lions should have closed. The numbers sting. Minnesota finished with just 11 first downs and 161 total yards on 51 plays. Sixty-five came on Jordan Addison's game-sealing touchdown. One play erased three quarters of work. It also punished the same structural stress the Lions have failed to solve all season when opponents dress up misdirection and eye candy. This Detroit Lions Podcast breakdown is about hard truths. The Lions invited disaster with turnovers, protection issues, and a run game that never tilted the field. Minnesota crowded the box and disguised pressure. Detroit never adjusted enough. Defense Dominates Until One Bust For most of the day, the defense smothered the Vikings. The front squeezed lanes. The safeties rallied downhill. Max Brosmer accomplished little until the shot that mattered. Then the Lions lost their landmarks. The pattern reappeared. Minnesota mirrored what the Rams, Steelers, Packers, and Cowboys have shown on film. Motion and window dressing pulled the second level inside. The safeties bit. The linebackers held too long. DJ Reed crashed outside leverage with no help behind him. Earlier weeks, it was Amik Robertson or Rak Yassin on the wrong end of similar concepts. On Christmas, Addison ran free. One lapse undone a superb afternoon. Even with that bust, the defense played well enough to win. It cannot be asked to survive six offensive turnovers. Offense Unravels: Line, Plan, and Quarterback Jared Goff started sharp. He drilled a third-down throw on the move to Jameson Williams. He dropped a red-zone strike to Isaac to slaw for the lone touchdown. Then the wheels came off. Minnesota dialed pressure. Detroit's offensive line could not sort it out, and the giveaways piled up. Personnel reality bit hard. Kingsley Agwacun made only his second career start at center. Dan Skipper stepped in at left tackle with Taylor Decker out due to illness. Christian Mahogany gutted through his leg recovery but is not close to full strength. Asking this group to reach across two gaps or land difficult reach blocks was wishful. The run game vanished, and the pocket turned static. There were answers on tape. Shorter drops. Quicker triggers. Roll the launch point right and left. When Goff moved by design, throwing angles opened and timing improved. Detroit did not lean on that enough. Play calling invited the rush instead of using it against an aggressive front with screens, tempo, and rhythmic underneath throws. The equation is simple. Protect the ball. Protect the edges. Protect your defense's work. The Lions did none of it in Minnesota. One explosive allowed and six giveaways define a loss no one in Detroit will soon forget. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5AOYbHi4BY #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #minnesotavikings #sixgiveaways #coveragebust #jordanaddisongame-sealingtouchdown #misdirectionandeyecandy #motionandwindowdressing #crowdedthebox #disguisedpressure #protectionissues #kingsleyagwacun Learn more about your ad choices.

In this conversation from Austin, Jim Cassidy, Lane Tipton, and Camden Bucey reflect on the abiding value of the Westminster Shorter Catechism as a tool for cultivating a God-centered, covenantally rich, and confessionally rooted Christian life. The discussion highlights Jim's new book, Introducing the Faith: A Study of the Westminster Shorter Catechism, which serves as a written complement to his two free Reformed Academy courses through which he teaches the Shorter Catechism (Questions 1–38 and Questions 39–106). Together, the hosts trace their own histories with the Standards, demonstrating how catechesis shapes believers in the chief end of man—to glorify and enjoy God forever. They also explore how the catechism's covenant theology anchors the church in biblical teaching, safeguarding the glory of God amid contemporary pressures. The discussion turns to the weighty task of confessional subscription—its history, responsibilities, and the risks of revision. With pastoral clarity and historical attentiveness, the hosts encourage churches and teachers to handle their confessions with both gratitude and vigilance. The episode concludes with a look at the ongoing mission of Reformed Academy and the resources being developed to strengthen the church in catechesis and confessional fidelity.

ICSC New York cuts through the noise fast. After days of meetings with investors, retailers, and landlords, the same themes kept resurfacing again and again.This episode breaks down six clear signals from the conference floor based entirely on real conversations and active deal discussions. No predictions. No panel soundbites. Just what is actually driving underwriting, expansion, and capital today.6 Key Takeaways from ICSC New York 1. Cap rates are being driven more by tenant and business risk than by interest rates alone 2. Retail supply remains extremely tight with many retailers focused only on locations they can realistically execute 3. Value add net lease deals are seeing strong demand especially assets with shorter lease terms or below market rent 4. New store openings are performing and supporting continued physical retail expansion 5. Long term credit tenant deals are hard to come by and investors are stepping up to compete. 6. Retailers are reinvesting in their stores through remodels upgrades and reconfigurations often without landlord contributionsTogether these six signals explain why retail fundamentals remain durable.Timestamps:00:00 Intro and why ICSC conversations matter04:50 Cap rates tenant risk and underwriting focus11:17 Tight retail supply and realistic expansion plans15:57 Demand for value add net lease strategies23:48 New store performance and retailer confidence30:14 Shorter lease terms and financing implications34:24 Retailers reinvesting in stores and operations#ICSC #RetailRealEstate #CommercialRealEstate #NetLease #ICSCNewYorkWarning-IRS Circular 230 Disclosure: CBRE and its affiliates do not provide tax advice and nothing contained herein should be construed to be tax advice.

This week on With Bowl and Spoon, Shelly sits down with Helena Shorter Alston, founder of Kia Vida Superfoods—a woman whose life has been steeped in food from the very beginning. Born into a family rooted in cooking, farming, and restaurant ownership, Helena was said to be cooking by age two! By 23 she had opened her first restaurant in the Poconos, driven by a simple belief that healthy food should taste good. Her lineage also carries a powerful legacy: her great-grandfather purchased 600 acres in Mississippi where he grew vegetables, raised animals, and gave food away to anyone who needed it.Helena's relationship with food only deepened as she moved through the world. While serving in the Peace Corps in Senegal, she encountered Kinkeliba—a traditional West African plant that made such an impression that it later became part of her product line (once it became legal to sell in the U.S.). She went on to explore food science and technology, raise a family, travel widely, and even help feed students after school in Pittsburgh Public Schools. When her husband passed away from diabetes, Helena transformed her grief into purpose, moving her children to Europe to research food, develop recipes, and work on products aimed at preventing diabetes in her family and beyond.Today, Helena splits her time between Pittsburgh and Florida and leads Kia Vida Superfoods, crafting additive-free, nutrient-dense dehydrated meal kits and teas inspired by every chapter of her life. She's a cook, a scientist, an educator, and an adventurer whose greatest joy is hearing from people who feel better because of what she makes.Learn more at kiavidasuperfoods.com or KiaVidaFNS.com.

The 2026 World Cup is shaping up to be one of the biggest short-term rental demand events in history—bigger than the Super Bowl, bigger than Taylor Swift tours, and long enough to make or break an entire revenue year. In this episode, Jamie Lane sits down with revenue strategist and Happy Guest founder Rebecca Ballart, who has personally priced more than 10,000 listings worldwide, to help hosts understand what to expect… and how not to leave thousands of dollars on the table.Rebecca breaks down why mega-events behave nothing like peak season, how booking windows warp under immense hype, and why the “right” price can't be pulled from comps or pricing tools alone. This conversation is filled with practical guidance for hosts in every 2026 host city—especially those looking at early booking spikes and wondering, “Am I priced too low… or way too high?”They also walk through real-world examples, from massive wins at Hangout Fest to the hard realities when an event is suddenly canceled. Rebecca shares what operators can monitor between now and kickoff, how to think about length-of-stay strategy, when to adjust, and why the smartest revenue managers mix tools with human intuition—not one or the other.If you're hosting anywhere near a World Cup stadium, you can't afford to miss this episode.Key TakeawaysMega-events don't follow normal demand patterns. Expect sudden booking rushes, long periods of quiet, and another surge as the event approaches.Length of stay is a powerful lever. Shorter stays + higher nightly rates often outperform long minimums during multi-week events.Inventory size dictates upside. Large homes can safely aim higher, while 1–2 bedroom units compete directly with hotels and must price accordingly.Use pricing tools—but don't outsource your thinking. Algorithms can miss nuance; human oversight catches opportunities and prevents painful mistakes.Set guardrails before cancellations hit. Minimum event rates and watchful monitoring protect you from losing revenue when fans shift cities or plans change.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

"I understand that if I'm too comfortable, it's time to grow. Because if I'm not growing, I'm dying. And if I'm dying, I'm going to live a miserable life." In this episode, Heather reflects on three big lessons she's learned over the last 12 years since her cancer diagnosis, exploring the significance of facing fears, recognizing triggers as opportunities for growth, and the importance of self-reflection in embracing a fulfilling life. This conversation isn't about recounting the many challenges she faced during healing; it's about celebrating and learning to live more fully. Because the truth is, most of us are keeping ourselves so busy we can't experience growth, leaving us in a perpetual state of survival.  This conversation encourages us all to move past chronic suffering and to realise that we're not dead yet, so let's focus on feeling alive and energized while we're still here. What to listen for: ✨ Leaning into your stories and the impact you want to make ✨ Understanding that suffering isn't living, and you're not dead yet ✨ The reason why so many people live like the walking dead "There's a huge difference between being emotionally uncomfortable and working through fear and resistance. That chronic suffering, chronic pain, isn't living, and you're not dead yet. So you need to learn how to feel alive and energized while you're still alive." ✨ Why it's essential to understand the feeling that you're chasing ✨ How Heather moved through the terror and the story that she was going to die ✨ The importance of becoming the adult that you needed as a child "I had to face my fear of death in order to learn how to face my fear of living. I had to train myself to run towards how I wanted to feel. That was scary to me because I had no evidence, but it started me on this catalyst of curiosity." ✨ Why the people triggering you the most are your greatest teachers ✨ How to keep triggers from dictating your connections ✨ The importance of taking responsibility for how you want to feel Enjoy the excerpts Heather shared? Be sure to grab a copy of her book, Dying to Be a Good Mother. ******* For those of you who are ready to stop feeling drained, overextended, and out of alignment… join me for a one-on-one Time & Energy Audit, a focused session designed to help high-achieving women uncover what's draining them, clarify what truly matters, and create a simple plan that fits their life. We'll pinpoint your biggest time + energy leaks, identify the top areas to focus on for quick momentum, and map out exactly what to let go of so you can reclaim your energy, your time, and your joy.

In this intimate, grounded conversation, Lauren and Trey explore the truth about women dating shorter men, what culture tells us, what we internalize, and how couples can rewrite the scripts they've inherited. Lauren is about an inch taller than Trey without heels, and she often wears heels at his request. Their dynamic opens the door to a deeper look at how lived experiences, early messages, ego, and desire shape the attractions we feel in adulthood.They talk about how every one of us is a sexuality educator, whether we mean to be or not. The ways we speak about bodies, preferences, and turn-ons either extend permission or reinforce shame. This leads into a meaningful discussion on the difference between sexual preferences and kinks, and why labeling something a “kink” often reflects cultural discomfort more than personal truth.To ground the conversation, they offer this clear definition:“Kink or kinky is seen as an umbrella term for sexual counter-culture, meaning that it goes against the mainstream, vanilla society. Whereas a fetish refers to a specific object, behavior, body part, or fantasy that is necessary for a person to achieve sexual enjoyment or arousal, but it's not always required to be physically present. There is often overlap between kinks and fetishes and sometimes the two terms are used interchangeably to describe a unique turn-on. But, unlike a fetish, a kink is not required for arousal, only preferred or enjoyed.”Lauren and Trey also explore the inner work required to go against cultural expectations while gently naming that it is absolutely OK to have preferences.If this conversation resonates, please like, comment, and share the episode.And if you're wanting support around embodied attraction, sexual preferences, or relational dynamics, you're invited to request a free consult with Lauren at www.sexedforyou.com/freeconsultIdeal for couples in long-term partnerships who want deeper intimacy, more desire, and better sex.About Us: Lauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia where Lauren owns and operates, SEX ED FOR YOU.

A repodcast of our Thanksgiving Eve live show: following up on your comments on the state of bicycle touring, plus a bunch of great questions in an Ask Me Anything segment! Followup: Is Bicycle Touring in Decline? More emails on this than any topic in a while. Some selected thoughts from listeners: Regarding ACA Multiple listeners: Could ACA  be losing older members in its attempts to expand into younger audiences, but worse… might not be succeeding on either front? It's hard to do both, and that's the challenge… you need to find what drives your constituencies and sometimes you swing and miss. @BounceBackWesterner"I subscribed to the ACA magazine for one year.  I was happy with one edition, but then, it seemed like there was a trend to rides that were extremely challenging and demanding whether that be road or offroad. These folks predominantly seemed younger and maybe that's where most of their subscriptions come from. " Another point: ACA was built on a need which may not exist anymore. Before they were the best and maybe only resource for routes and maps that had been vetted. Now there are way more resources. Listener Harry Hellerman was a great example of someone who's let his ACA membership lapse after 20 years. The reason? Kind of what ACA was saying… he says he's aging out and the roads are now occupied by larger and larger vehicles, so there's a safety concern. Regarding Touring being down Multiple listeners: Travel is down across the board, but travel to the US in particular has taken a huge hit. Lots of factors there, but you can't ignore the current politics as a possible reason here. Listener Andrew Piper: "Data point: For a 2-year comparison, the overall demand for search terms around "bike touring" is infact down 25%-35% YoY. However, using the same comparison, the demand for terms around "bikepacking" is up about 40%. Which does lend itself to the change in nomenclature more than an actual decline in interest." "I think I am maybe a couple years younger than yourself at best. Of the people I have seen doing this, I always feel I am on the younger side of the sport. Logistically it makes sense. Who has time to do this....older people."  Bicycling for older generations was a big part of freedom - it might not be that for younger generations? Listener Dr. G4 wrote a really thoughtful email from the perspective of a younger rider. Shorter touring is much more of a thing Some of the places where the routes go don't feel welcoming (political, demographics) Real shift to urbanism amongst younger generation Poor infrastructure/safety perception: ACA represents an older version of bicycle travel (longer trips) "I think what the next generation wants is not road maps, but trail maps and advocacy for more trails and trail amenities (and, I might note, probably videos, how-tos, explainers, and meetups, not print versions of easily-googleable information)." "it's clear from the overabundance of urbanist youth getting around by transit, bicycles, or even scooters that travel by bicycle isn't going anywhere anytime soon. But turning them into bicycle tourers involves developing routes and programs that are closer to cities and farther from cars, marketing dedicated bicycle trails as one piece of an integrated solution for transit- and bicycle-accessible nature, specifically focussing on routes with many transit junctions to allow long routes to be chewed in smaller chunks, helping the rapidly-growing contingent of bicycle commuters to learn how to use their bicycles beyond weekdays to short or long weekends (with week-long or more tours being an eventual end goal, not the primary purpose), and politically advocating for car-displacing trains, trails, and cycle tracks that make all this possible." •Rails to Trails Conservancy may have the better model?

Shorter days, less sunlight, gray skies, and changes in routine can mess with your mood and energy. In the Pacific Northwest, Sara calls it the Big Dark for a reason. In this episode, she breaks down why the winter blues happen, why they hit harder when you are alcohol free, and the practical strategies that help you stay grounded instead of slipping backward. Sara shares the story of her first winter living in a camper trailer on the land while building her house. The lack of natural light, heavy rain, and isolation hit stronger than expected, and it became the first time she truly understood how intense the winter blues can feel, even deep into sobriety. She now approaches every winter with intention and has built a winter-specific sober toolkit to stay emotionally steady. Through personal experience and research, this episode teaches you how to recognize winter blues, how to distinguish them from seasonal affective disorder, and how to protect your alcohol free identity during the months when cravings or old coping mechanisms may begin whispering again. You will leave with five winter-proof strategies that help you stay energized, connected, and proud of your choices, even when the season feels heavy. What You Will Learn 1. Why the Winter Blues Happen How reduced sunlight lowers serotonin. How longer darkness disrupts circadian rhythm, leading to fatigue, fog, and increased melatonin. Why people in northern latitudes are more susceptible. How environmental factors like rain, darkness, and isolation intensify the emotional dip. 2. How Winter Impacts Your Alcohol Free Journey Lower mood plus lower energy can increase cravings and relapse risk. Lack of motivation can sabotage routines that usually protect your sobriety. Social withdrawal and loneliness can make old patterns feel nostalgic or tempting. Winter can become a unique season in your recovery, requiring specialized tools and preparation. 3. How to Know Whether It Is the Winter Blues or Seasonal Affective Disorder Winter blues tend to be mild and temporary. SAD is more persistent, more intense, and repeats each winter. Sara stresses the importance of not minimizing clinical depression and reaching out for professional support when needed. 4. Five Strategies to Protect Your Sobriety This Winter Light exposure and environment Use a light therapy lamp. Increase brightness in your indoor spaces or embrace warm lighting if it brings comfort. Explore vitamin D supplementation. Get your face outside for whatever sunlight exists that day. Routine and structure Keep consistent wake times. Resist the urge to retreat into isolation. Anchor habits that reinforce your non-drinker identity. Maintain community engagement even when motivation dips. Movement, connection, and purpose Move daily even when it is dark or rainy. Bundle up, put on the rain gear, and get outside. Plan intentional social touchpoints. Reaffirm your personal why and your identity as a non-drinker. Ask for support when things feel off Speak up early. Share your experience with a partner or community. Build a winter strategy before you are struggling. Seek professional care if symptoms feel intense or prolonged. Mindset reframing See winter as a season of reinvention rather than defeat. Lean into coziness, warmth, and slow living. Remember that you no longer use alcohol to numb through winter. Identify at least one win each day that happens because you did not drink. Key Takeaway The winter blues are real, and they are rooted in biology and environment. But with preparation and intentional practice, you can navigate this season with confidence instead of slipping into old patterns. Winter can become a powerful part of your alcohol free story, a season of inner strengthening, and a time to build the resilient version of yourself who will step boldly into spring.
