Performance pressure and role fatigue often make leaders shrink back. If you fear being “too much,” this episode shows how recalibration restores peace — so your full presence becomes a gift, not a burden.Have you ever held back an idea in a meeting, softened your words so they wouldn't sound “too passionate,” or dimmed your presence because you didn't want to overwhelm others? For many high-capacity humans, the fear of being “too much” quietly shapes their leadership and their life.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly unpacks why leaders shrink themselves — and how to break free. Through personal reflection on a lifetime of feeling self-conscious about her energy, and the cultural story of Marc Andreessen, who was criticized as brash and “too much” in the early internet era yet went on to shape Netscape and Andreessen Horowitz, Julie reframes what “too much” really means.From an Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) lens, this fear usually comes from outdated roles: the Pleaser, who thinks it's safer to stay small than risk disapproval; the Peacekeeper, who confuses harmony with suppression; and the Perfectionist, who edits presence until it feels unthreatening. Neuroscience names this pattern social safety bias — the brain exaggerates the risk of rejection, so shrinking feels like safety. But what feels safe in the moment becomes suffocating over time.Here's the truth: You are not too much. You are exactly the right size for your assignment. ILR restores this identity, retraining your nervous system to hold presence without apology. Without recalibration, presence feels like performance. With recalibration, presence feels like peace.This episode is for every leader who feels role fatigue, decision fatigue, or the emptiness of success without fulfillment. It's not another mindset tactic or productivity hack — it's the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective.Today's Micro Recalibration:Where am I shrinking myself?What would it look like to bring my full presence without apology?How might my leadership create permission for others to expand?If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Kicking off October with Edward Gorey just seems obvious at this point in time. After all, since he died 25 years ago, there are a lot of celebrations happening in his honor this season. Naturally, since he did quite a few "picture books" (a term we use in the broadest sense) it seemed logical to tackle his best known work. Is it for children? Not intentionally, but Betsy makes the case on the show that there are picture books out there that are not intended for children but that kids find anyway and grow to love (Uncle Shelby's ABZs, anyone?). Today's book is a "cult classic picture book" in precisely that sense. This is our fourth alphabet book on our podcast (we forgot we did Eating the Alphabet when we recorded this) and our second Edward Gorey (after The Shrinking of Treehorn). We discuss how this was clearly Wednesday Addams's favorite book when she was little and how Gorey's rhyming is on point! Please note that we do have a trigger warning at the beginning of our discussion. This book does mention children dying.

SHOW-NOTESSomething disturbing is happening in real time, and mental health experts are sounding urgent alarms. The most powerful person in the world is showing clear signs of cognitive breakdown – creating words that don't exist, telling impossible stories as cherished memories, choosing advisors based on how they look rather than what they know. But here's what makes this truly dangerous: millions of people are adopting these same dysfunctional patterns as their own.This episode reveals the psychology behind the chaos. We trace how decades of professional wrestling taught Trump that performance matters more than truth, how his brain is measurably deteriorating in ways experts can document, and how he systematically eliminates anyone competent enough to challenge him. Most importantly, we show how one person's psychological dysfunction is spreading like a virus through American Culture - and why our traditional ways of responding are making it worse.What happens when someone with dementia and a personality type psychologists call "the quintessence of evil" controls nuclear weapons?

Scientists have estimated that the planet's radius has contracted by between 2.7 to 5.6 kilometres due to cooling-induced faulting. This study employs new methods to provide a more accurate understanding of Mercury's long-term thermal history, which could also be applied to other planetary bodies, including Mars.NASA's Carruthers Geocorona ObservatoryNASA has launched the Carruthers Geocorona Observatory to study Earth's invisible halo, the exosphere. This mission aims to capture the first continuous observations of the Geocorona, revealing the dynamics of hydrogen atoms escaping into space. Understanding the exosphere's response to solar activity is crucial for predicting space weather events that could affect astronauts on missions to the Moon and beyond. The observatory will provide insights into how Earth retains water and may even aid in the search for exoplanets with similar atmospheric conditions.Insights from Martian Meteorite NWA 16254A meteorite discovered in the Zaharov Desert is shedding light on Mars's ancient volcanic systems. The rock, classified as NWA 16254, offers unprecedented insights into the planet's magmatic processes, indicating a two-stage crystallisation process that occurred under varying pressure conditions.

If a technology existed that matched you with your soul mate – the one true person you're destined to be with – would you take it? Would it lead you to your happily-ever-after? Or is love too vast and complicated a thing to be pared down to a science like that? These are the questions posed by All Of You, a new romantic drama by our guests today, William Bridges and Brett Goldstein. William is a writer-director you may well know from his contributions to the shows like Black Mirror and Stranger Things. Brett, meanwhile, is the writer-performer known for Ted Lasso, in which he plays hardman Roy Kent. He's also the co-creator of Apple TV's Shrinking and hosts a very entertaining podcast named Films To Be Buried With. In All Of You, Brett plays Simon – a journalist whose best friend is a woman named Laura. The pair have undeniable chemistry but their timelines have never quite aligned, romantically. Instead, when the film begins, their relationship is strictly platonic. Laura has found her supposed 'one true love,' according to science. But something remains unresolved – Simon and Laura's attraction to each other unable to be fully dimmed. The film began life in 2013 as a short that later was developed into an AMC anthology series named Soulmates, which lasted one season. In the spoiler conversation you're about to hear, Brett and Will reflect on that journey to this feature version of the script – what it was they just couldn't quit about this concept and these characters, whether they'd take the test themselves, how their attitudes towards the idea of soul mates have shifted over time. Plus, of course, what it is that's happening in the heads and hearts of our two protagonists during the film's heartbreaking final scene.

The underworld is crowded with thieves, but Parker has always stood apart. Created by Donald Westlake in the early 1960s, the character has been portrayed on screen by actors including Lee Marvin, Mel Gibson, and Jason Statham. He's a blunt-force professional who isn't Bond, isn't Batman, but something rougher, hungrier, and coded by his own ruthless blue-collar sense of order. With "Play Dirty," filmmaker Shane Black takes his own crack at Parker, bringing the character to Prime Video on October 1 and casting Mark Wahlberg in the role. The film follows Parker, a ruthless thief, and his expert crew who stumble onto the heist of a lifetime that pits them against the New York mob. The film also stars LaKeith Stanfield, Rosa Salazar, Keegan-Michael Key, Nat Wolff, and more. This version doesn't come with gadgets or acrobatics. Black describes a Parker who thinks fast, hits harder, and feels closer to the blue-collar world than to the spy fantasy. It's the kind of material that lets him indulge his taste for pulp grit, sly humor, and the holiday backdrop he's made famous. But it also opens the door to some bigger questions: what draws audiences to men this uncompromising? How do you make crime fun without sanding off the edges? And what happens when you cast Wahlberg instead of Robert Downey Jr.?READ MORE: ‘All Of You': Brett Goldstein On Love, The Science of Soulmates, ‘Shrinking' Surprises, & ‘Ted Lasso' [The Discourse Podcast]Writer/Director Shane Black joins The Discourse to talk about the journey of bringing his Parker film to the screen, which started all the way back during the making of Black's first film, “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” in 2005. When asked what itch hadn't been scratched by earlier adaptations, Black pointed to Parker's uniqueness. “Each one represents the era in which it was produced. 'Point Blank' with Lee Marvin is a very specific film for that time period. And each actor who's played Parker from there on, like Robert Duvall, Jason Statham, and Mel Gibson in "Payback." There has been a history of incarnations of this powerful, relentless character. But he's not James Bond, which is why I liked him. He's sort of blue collar. It's almost like an American entrepreneur's story. But he happens to be a really awful, bad person and a criminal anti-hero.”

Have you ever noticed your team hesitating before sharing bad news? That pause often reveals the power distance leaders unintentionally create. In this conversation with Phillip B. Wilson, author of The Approachability Playbook and The Leadershift Playbook, we explore how unapproachable leadership sabotages effectiveness and silences truth.Phil explains how our brains default to the “villain assumption”—attributing negative intent to others while excusing our own actions with context. When paired with confirmation bias, this creates cultures where honesty is stifled. His antidote is the “hero assumption”: believing people fundamentally want to do great work and succeed. He shares his own humbling leadership lessons, including the moment a key team member refused to work for him despite his reputation.We also unpack Phil's Connection Model of approachability: creating the right space (being available), generating the right feeling (listening to understand), and taking the right action (following through). These simple but powerful practices shrink power gaps, build trust, and transform leadership impact. The most successful leaders aren't those with all the answers—they're the ones who create environments where people feel safe to bring forward problems, questions, and ideas.

This week, Pastor Paul walks us through Luke 18:9-14. It's one of those passages that reminds me of just how human the folks in the bible really were: "God, thank you I'm not like those scumbags over there." (based on Luke 18:11). I'm sure some of us can relate to that, if we're really honest with ourselves. But Jesus' point with this parable is to make us aware of what it looks like when we have our view of ourselves misaligned with the truth. The more we exalt ourselves, the more we start to overshadow the cross. The more we overshadow the cross, the more we forget that we are created beings who will never be bigger, more important, more wise, more intelligent, than our Creator. Having a proper view of ourselves, being humbled and accepting our God-given position here on earth is the first step towards living a full, fruitful life. Find out more by joining us this week!

Love stories are rarely clean, and in “All of You,” the mess is the point. The new drama follows Simon and Laura, lifelong friends played by Brett Goldstein and Imogen Poots, as they drift in and out of each other's lives while a soulmate test promises definitive answers to the question of “the one.” Instead of neat bows and easy catharsis, the film leans into questioning love, heartbreak, longing, and the choices that cut both ways. It arrives on Apple TV+ on September 26 as a romance that challenges more than it comforts, leaving audiences to wrestle with what they believe about love itself.Goldstein, best known for his Emmy-winning turn as Roy Kent on “Ted Lasso,” makes a deliberate rejection of formula here with a deliberate rejection of formula. By refusing to turn the story's love triangle into a moral shortcut, he forces every character to stand on equal ground. Laura's husband isn't a villain but a caring, funny, and decent man, which makes the decision at the film's core sting much more. Time jumps and fragmented glimpses of Simon and Laura together invite the audience to fill in the missing years with their own experience, blurring the line between fiction and memory.READ MORE: ‘All Of You' Review: Brett Goldstein & Imogen Poots Heat Up Decade-Spanning Sci-Fi Romance [TIFF]In this episode of The Discourse, host Mike DeAngelo sits down with Goldstein to discuss building a romance that resists tidy resolution, cutting dialogue in favor of subtext, and finding an improvised final line that changes the ending.

On today show, we are talking about the impact of the newly announced $100,000 fee associated with the H1B visa to the United States. According to my research, historically the United States had admitted 65,000 H1 B visas per year with an additional 20,000 visa for those holding advanced US degrees.Anytime there is a major policy shift. The marketplace will adapt and find a new way to optimize the allocation of talent. Silicon Valley was cited as one of the Main reasons for the policy change.The tech industry has seen significant layoffs over the past year. Companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Facebook have all released tens of thousands over the past year.The policy change will probably see some of those laid off workers getting rehired and those international workers covered by a visa, now a very expensive visa, being sent home to their country of origin.The largest user of H1B visas is Amazon with over 14,600 visa holders. At $100,000 a year each, this would cost an additional $1.4B in fees to the US government. I personally would be surprise if any company would just roll over and pay for an additional $1.4B in fees. The top users are Amazon, TCS from India with about 5500, Microsoft with a little over 5100, Meta with about 5100.Even Walmart has about 2400. I would bet that Walmart would move those positions to their software design center in Toronto or Ottawa and save $239M dollars with zero loss of productivity. When I ran an engineering organization, we did not use the H1B Visa program to import labour per se. We used the program to bring a few people from some of the remote design centres and immerse them in the culture in our Sunnyvale office so that they could in turn cross pollinate the culture across the organization. It gave that individual a foreign expat assignment and at the same time improved the cohesiveness between the different design centres around the world. They would later return to their remote design centre. I personally believe that the use of the H1B Visa will drop to nearly zero with the imposition of this new policy. That means another 100,000 people in high paying jobs will likely leave the US. These people will probably continue to work for the same company from their country of origin, if they are an individual contributor. If they are in a managerial role, then the relationship gets more complicated. I truly can't think of too many companies that will be willing to pay that $100,000 fee for the visa. This year 2025 was the first year in which US population has shrunk in almost 100 years. Shrinking population means a shrinking economy, especially when you consider that 70% of the GDP is based on consumption. ----------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

What does leadership look like when the church is shrinking? In this episode, Martha Tatarnic talks with Rev. Dr. Bill Harrison, president of Lutheran Theological Seminary in Saskatoon and author of Leadership in a Shrinking Church. Harrison shares candid insights from his own journey—from growing up in a fundamentalist tradition to leading in ecumenical and academic contexts. He reflects on why complexity is not something to fear, why “do less with less” might be the most faithful strategy today, and how congregations can reclaim a gospel vision rooted in transformation rather than numbers.  Realistic and hopeful, this episode offers practical tools for pastors, leaders, and congregations navigating decline as Harrison reminds that God's transformation is complex, but the good news is alive and present—even in a shrinking church. In this conversation you'll hear: Why numerical growth has become an idol in many churches The crushing accumulation of roles and expectations placed on clergy Four dimensions of transformation—intellectual, psychic, moral, and religious—that shape Christian life Why congregations need to clarify identity, mission, and resources instead of trying to be “all things to all people” How gospel vision statements can help churches focus on what really matters The Rev. Dr. William (Bill) Harrison is president of Lutheran Theological Seminary, Saskatoon, and former chair of the Saskatoon Theological Union Common Faculty. Bill teaches systematic and historical theology, and ethics. In addition to his PhD in systematic theology and church history from Boston College, Bill has degrees in English literature (M.A.), theology (B.Th.), and political science (B.A. Hons). Bill is the author of Leadership in a Shrinking Church: Finding New Vision in Unlikely Places; Frequently Asked Questions in Christian Theology; and In Praise of Mixed Religions: The Syncretism Solution in a Multifaith World.

First, the Philippines is bracing for impact as a powerful super typhoon barrel toward the country, raising fears of flooding, landslides, and mass evacuations. Then, a new study shows that global attention spans are getting shorter — not just on social media, but in how we consume news, entertainment, and even conversations. And finally, meet Emil the Lost Elk, who’s captured hearts (and headlines) in Sweden after mysteriously wandering hundreds of kilometres from his forest home — and no one knows why. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Download the Free eBook 'Skincare Myths Busted' Is vaginal burning, itching, or pain just “a normal part of aging”? Absolutely not—and you don't have to suffer in silence. In this recap episode, Dr. Mina revisits her conversation with urologist Dr. Diana Londoño to break down the real changes that happen to vulvar and genital skin during perimenopause and menopause. From the drop in estrogen that causes thinning, dryness, and discomfort, to the surprising connection between vulvar skin health and urinary tract infections, this episode clears away the myths and delivers real, practical solutions. You'll also learn why topical estrogen is one of the most effective (and safest) treatments available, and why it's time to talk openly about a part of the body that's too often left out of the conversation. Key Takeaways: Menopause affects more than facial skin: Vulvar and genital skin also become thinner, drier, and less elastic due to estrogen loss. Functional impact matters: Shrinking of the labia minora removes protection around the urethra, increasing the risk of recurrent UTIs. Topical estrogen is safe and effective: Despite outdated warnings, localized estrogen can restore comfort and reduce infections without systemic absorption. Sexual activity isn't the only reason to treat: Even women who aren't sexually active benefit from vulvar estrogen therapy for comfort, bladder health, and overall wellbeing. The mind-body connection is key: Stress, grief, and stigma can worsen physical symptoms—awareness and holistic self-care matter. Normalize the conversation: Understanding and talking about vulvar health helps remove shame and empowers women to seek the treatment they deserve. Whether you're in your 40s, 50s, or beyond, this episode will empower you to better understand your body, take charge of your health, and embrace aging with confidence.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:Pull up a spot on the couch, friend—this one's a full-body exhale. Today we're talking self-empowerment, self-acceptance, and what really happens when you water down your truth to stay “likable.” If you've ever dimmed to keep the peace, said “sorry” when you meant “thank you,” or edited your brilliance to fit the room…this is your permission slip to stop. We're normalizing the shrink (nervous system stuff, not character flaws), practicing emotional regulation so your voice lands like truth—not tension—and choosing authenticity over approval, every time. You'll get clean language for boundaries and a grounded journaling moment to reconnect with what you really think, need, and want. Expect a loving nudge, a firm standard, and that hit of Main Character Energy that reminds you who you are. This is personal growth you can feel and self-love you can act on—because confidence isn't a mood; it's a practice.KEY TAKEAWAYS:You do not have to apologize for your power.Shrinking is a nervous system strategy, not your identity.You are not dramatic. You are accurate.Most sorry's are fear in a trench coat.You don't have to ‘sorry' your way out of your own power.Your frequency will be too expensive for some, and that's okay.You are no longer available to silence or censor yourself.We don't shrink, we shine.You are safe to be yourself, so keep creating your own safety.Plus: Emotional regulation makes authenticity land; boundaries protect self-acceptance; journaling reveals the next brave ask; confidence grows by reps, not permission.CHAPTERS:00:00 Embracing Your Power02:37 Recognizing and Honoring Your Truth04:56 Practicing Self-Recognition and Acceptance07:44 Understanding Shrinking and Self-Abandonment09:35 The Cost of Silence and Self-Betrayal11:47 Apologizing and Setting Boundaries13:55 Power Leaks and Reparenting Yourself16:00 Communicating Boundaries with Clarity19:17 The Importance of Self-Respect21:51 Accepting Compliments and Acknowledging Your Worth23:27 Self-Love in Action25:13 Navigating Relationships and Boundaries27:19 The Signal of Shrinking29:04 Choosing Wholeness Over Scarcity31:12 Final Thoughts on Power and Authenticity38:37 Empowerment Through Sharing and ConnectionTHE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP:When life starts pulling you back into people-pleasing, come home to this quick reset.

Hey friends, Chase here. If you're feeling anxious about money right now, you're not alone. Shrinking budgets, AI headlines, and general chaos have a lot of us questioning our value. The default move? Grab the nearest paycheck. But here's the truth: trading your dreams for short-term security is the fastest way to kill the life you actually want. Don't trade your dreams for security. Paying the bills matters—we've all been there. I waited tables in the early days of my photography career just to get by. But that was never the goal. The real goal was building a life with freedom at its core. Because freedom is what fuels creativity. It's what lets you chase the projects, the art, and the opportunities that light you up. Your future self is begging you not to settle. Fear says play it safe. Freedom says create. Every time you choose freedom—whether that's carving out an hour to shoot, write, or build—you're moving closer to the life you want. Here's what we get into: Why chasing paychecks without purpose keeps you stuck How designing for freedom fuels creativity (and opportunity) What Paris taught me about building a framework for creative living Why clarity + momentum are the secret weapons for designing your life How to balance short-term security with long-term vision The big idea? Money matters. Security matters. But if you sacrifice your vision just to feel safe, you'll never build the life you know you're capable of living. Freedom isn't something you wait for—it's something you design, one intentional choice at a time. Until next time—stay free, stay bold, and keep creating.

On today's show we are taking a deep look at my forecast for the US economy over the next few years. What I'm about to share is not getting covered by the mainstream media as far as I can see. If we look through history, we know that economic growth and population growth are linked. It's not that population growth alone is the cause of economic growth. It's not enough by itself. But we know that you cannot have one without the other.The US population is now shrinking for the first time in a century. The last time the US population shrank was in the late 1920's when jobs evaporated during the Great Depression and people who had come to the United States for work left the country. In the first several months of the new administration, immigration numbers are way down. We have fertility rates at historic lows. We have workforce participation falling as baby boomers retire. The only way that the US population and hence the economy can grow requires immigration. The US unemployment rate remains low because the workforce is shrinking.On Thursday we got a jobs report that surprised Wall Street and many economists. The real question in my mind is how many jobs does the economy need to generate if the population is shrinking. We might need to get used to low employment reports and this could represent the new normal. --------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

After testing systems in Earth orbit, Capcom Mike Collins gave the "go" for Trans Lunar Injection (TLI), firing the upper stage engines to propel them towards the moon. The spacecraft's computer systems were primitive, inferior even to a Casio digital watch calculator; ground control dictated long strings of numbers for manual entry. As they left Earth, Jim Lovell described the view as "like being in a tunnel," with Earth shrinking rapidly from 25,000 miles per hour. Crucially, the SPS engine, essential for lunar orbit and return, had no redundancy, making its firing behind the moon a tense moment of Loss of Signal (LOS) for Earth-bound observers. 1851
