Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 7-09-2026: Researchers refined a technique to reverse skin cell aging by about 30 years while preserving cellular identity. Exposing adult fibroblasts to Yamanaka factors—stopping before full reversion to pluripotent stem cells,reset the epigenetic clock and gene expression patterns to resemble much younger cells. The rejuvenated fibroblasts produced significantly more collagen, migrated faster to close artificial wounds, and showed reversal of gene expression patterns associated with Alzheimer's and cataracts. Since long-term epidemiologic data doesn't yet exist, Dr. Dawn follows up on last week's vaping question by exploring cancer mechanisms. Vaping aerosols impair DNA repair fidelity while triggering IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-alpha secretion. Nicotine-derived nitrosamines, reactive carbonyls (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein) are generated when propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin are heated. Upregulated cytochrome P450 enzymes convert precarcinogens like benzopyrene into carcinogens. Mice exposed for 54 weeks developed lung adenocarcinomas in 22% and precancerous bladder hyperplasia in 57%, with markers matching those show predict lung cancer years before diagnosis. The Mexican Biobank—which includes over 40,000 samples from all 31 Mexican states revealed dramatic regional variation in drug-metabolism genes driven by Indigenous ancestry. In Chiapas, nearly 40% of the population carries two copies of a CYP2D6 variant reducing fentanyl metabolism, versus just 10% in Sinaloa. The SLCO1B1 variant hindering statin metabolism is found in over 15% of Yucatán residents., where 8 million Mexicans take statins. Dr. Dawn discusses both the promise and potential dark side of population genetic testing, including UK plans to genotype all children at birth for inborn errors of metabolism. Dr. Dawn briefly revisits the recent Indian study showing conch-shell blowing reduces sleep apnea by 34%, comparing it to earlier didgeridoo research, both of which strengthen airway muscles through forced-blowing exercises. A caller from Capitola recovering from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma near the L5 nerve asks about Japanese Kampo medicine formulas (Goshajinkigan, Yokukansan) for post-treatment nerve pain. Dr. Dawn suggests the pain likely originates from scar tissue tethering the nerve, and recommends consulting the Oriental Medicine Doctor program at Five Branches in Santa Cruz where faculty can advise on herbal formulas that trace back thousands of years through cultural exchange between China and Japan. Dr. Dawn explains Lp(a):lipoprotein(a), a small protein string attached to LDL particles that promotes clumping and clotting, is a genetically-determined coronary artery disease and stroke risk factor invisible to standard lipid panels. Levels of 250 particles double coronary risk and 350 particles triple it. Less than 75 is normal. Two new pharmaceutical strategies are in development to reduce Lp(a) : antisense oligonucleotides (single-stranded RNA that recruits RNase H to cleave target mRNA) and small interfering RNA (double-stranded RNA that triggers destruction of matching mRNA). Pelacarsen, a monthly injection in Phase 3 trials, reduces Lp(a) by 80%. These gene-silencing platforms open therapeutic possibilities for previously undruggable orphan diseases. Vitamin K2 is produced in the gut microbiome. MK-4 is most common in humans. Dr. Dawn recommends MK7 for stabilizing coronary calcium plaques and directing calcium into bone. A study of hepatitis B and C patients found MK4 to be protective in hepatocellular carcinoma. HCC developed in 2 of 21 MK-4-treated patients versus 9 of 19 controls, with a risk ratio of 0.2. MK-4 activates protein kinase A in vitro, inhibits HCC invasiveness, and restores apoptosis signaling that cancer cells normally block. Dr. Dawn recommends a couple milligrams of MK-4 daily for anyone with cirrhosis or prior hepatitis B or C infection.
In this episode of Conversations That Matter, host Jon Harris welcomes back Pastor Michael Clary to discuss his new book Loser Theology. Clary defines loser theology as a pietistic vibe that tells Christians they are supposed to lose in culture, politics, and society — and to feel spiritual about it. He critiques prominent leaders, exposes the double standard on political engagement, and explains how to pursue righteous power with biblical piety instead of passive defeat. A must-watch for anyone tired of the church staying on the sidelines.00:00 Introduction & Welcome to Pastor Michael Clary01:45 What Is Loser Theology?

A 135-year-old sisterhood built on bloodline and sacrifice is caving to woke bylaws — and members who speak up are being threatened with expulsion. This week on Kim on a Whim, Kim St. Onge digs into how the Daughters of the American Revolution voted down a ban on biological men joining, despite outraged descendants like one woman who says her frontier ancestors didn't survive the wilderness so their legacy could be handed to someone born male. Marc and Kim don't hold back, tying it straight to the Supreme Court's recent win against trans athletes in women's sports and asking the obvious question: why do men want in the Daughters instead of the already-existing Sons of the American Revolution? With members too scared of a gag-order bylaw to even speak on the record, this segment lays bare how far institutional wokeness will go to silence its own. It's satire, it's serious, and it's exactly the kind of common-sense pushback the Marc Cox Morning Show audience expects. An October vote looms — will the DAR course-correct, or fold completely? Coming up: news breaks on our own station group being sold.

Welcome Olympic Champion Masai Russell back to Hurdle! Fresh off her historic performances in the 100-meter hurdles, recently clocking a 12.14 for the second fastest time in history and a win at Pre Classic, Masai opens up about her rapid rise to the top and the evolution of her mindset. Emily and Masai dive deep into the essential difference between having confidence and being cocky, and how Masai protects her peace by switching her focus from standard expectations to execution. Masai reflects on transitioning from an underdog mentality to navigating the pressure of being the one to beat, sharing how she trains her mind to view every performance—good or bad—as an opportunity to sharpen her greatness. From tracking meticulous micro-improvements to redefining what "speed" truly means to her, Masai reveals what it takes to relentlessly pursue her potential and become an undeniable legend in her sport. IN THIS EPISODE The Reality of Expectations: Masai reflects on her transition from the "underdog" to the reigning Olympic Champion, sharing how she had to learn to navigate the immense weight of external expectations. Confidence vs. Cockiness: How to separate knowing what you bring to the table from being arrogant, rooted in humble beginnings, hard work, and a tight-knit connection to her community. Silencing the Outer Noise: Masai opens up about her mental strategy for keeping the blinders on, treating every major competition as "just another day with the same ten hurdles," and turning down the volume on her own mind. The No Bad Days Protocol: A look at how shifting her perspective allowed her to stop looking at setbacks as failures, choosing instead to view every statistical loss as a critical lesson that sets up future greatness. The Next Chapter: Masai chats about the microscopic physical adjustments that unlocked her 12.14 performance, why she welcomes the pressure of world-record predictions, and her ultimate vision to become an undeniable legend in the sport. QUOTABLE MOMENTS "When that gun goes off, like whatever everyone else says, like none of that matters... at the end of the day, Masai is the one that has to get on that line, execute it, do it, and really not talk about it, but really do it." "I have had very humble beginnings. I have not come from a winning background. I have had to work for everything that I've gotten, which is why I think that my audience... they're so tight-knit because of the confidence that I exude, but it's also in a way that I'm so sure about myself." "I feel like I will never lose ... statistically I may lose, but everything from a loss, I always take it as a lesson to just set me up for where I'm at." "Your thoughts are just your thoughts, and what you put flesh into or what you put life into, that's the reality that you'll get out of it. Quiet your brain down sometimes."

In this episode of Hurdle, host Emily Abbate sits down with two-time Olympian and 2018 Boston Marathon champion Des Linden for a conversation about redefining limits. Fresh off completing the legendary Marathon des Sables (MDS)—a grueling, self-supported 167-mile stage race across the Sahara Desert—Des takes listeners directly inside her tent. She shares the realities of surviving on grit, managing endless blisters, and navigating the longest run of her life: a staggering 62-mile day. Des breaks down the exact mindset it takes to avoid "negotiation mode" when the going gets tough and explains how her recent transition into the ultra-trail world has altered her relationship with the sport. Plus, she gives us a behind-the-scenes look at running the Boston Marathon as a "commoner" alongside her husband, Ryan, and her recent trip to the London Marathon. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS The Reality of MDS: Why Des swapped the roads of Michigan for the Sahara, how she managed self-supported gear, and what it’s really like to share a rudimentary tent with seven other runners. Silencing the Inner Negotiator: Des outlines her mental strategy for pushing through low moments and why reaching a state of self-pity only slows down forward momentum. The Blister Protocol: A look at managing the inevitable physical toll of a multi-day desert race and choosing to stay positive through the discomfort. Boston as a one of us: What it felt like to start further back in the corrals, weave through massive crowds, and burn extra matches to finish right before her husband, Ryan. The Next Chapter: Des chats about her strategic pivot to media and storytelling with her podcast Nobody Asked Us, her upcoming plans for the Chicago Marathon, and her sights set on the Havlina 100. QUOTABLE MOMENTS "The guardrails are off. Let's see where this goes." "This is literally what you signed up for... make the decisions to make the right choices because that's really what the event for me is all about."

BUFFALO, NY – June 24, 2026 – A new research paper was published in Volume 17 of Oncotarget on June 9, 2026, titled “TRAIL-R2 in the shadows: Epigenetic silencing and clinical implications in breast cancer.” The study was led by first author Nuzhat Khursheed from the University of Kashmir and corresponding authors Asia Asiaf from the Central University of Kashmir and Showkat Ahmad Ganie from the University of Kashmir. Breast cancer remains one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide. While advances in diagnosis and treatment have improved outcomes for many patients, researchers continue to investigate the molecular changes that enable tumor cells to survive, grow, and spread. One process receiving increasing attention is epigenetic regulation, in which genes are switched on or off without altering the underlying DNA sequence. In this study, researchers examined TRAIL-R2, also known as death receptor 5 (DR5), a protein that plays an important role in triggering apoptosis, the programmed cell death process that helps eliminate damaged or abnormal cells. Loss of apoptotic signaling is a hallmark of cancer, but the clinical significance and epigenetic regulation of TRAIL-R2 in breast cancer have remained incompletely understood. The investigators analyzed matched tumor and adjacent normal breast tissue samples from 67 patients. Using methylation-specific PCR, quantitative real-time PCR, and western blotting, they evaluated TRAIL-R2 promoter methylation as well as its gene and protein expression levels. The analysis revealed that TRAIL-R2 was frequently silenced in breast tumors. More than half of tumor samples showed promoter hypermethylation, a chemical modification that can suppress gene activity. At the same time, both TRAIL-R2 mRNA and protein expression levels were significantly lower in tumor tissues than in adjacent normal breast tissue. Further analysis demonstrated that TRAIL-R2 hypermethylation was more common in invasive ductal carcinoma, the most common subtype of breast cancer, and in patients with a history of oral contraceptive use. Reduced TRAIL-R2 expression was also associated with advanced tumor stage and several clinicopathological features linked to more aggressive disease. The researchers observed a strong inverse relationship between promoter methylation and TRAIL-R2 expression, suggesting that epigenetic silencing may contribute directly to loss of this important apoptotic receptor. Tumors with reduced TRAIL-R2 activity may become less susceptible to programmed cell death, potentially allowing cancer cells to survive and progress.

Ever wondered why a female health campaigner writes ‘seggs' instead of ‘sex', or uses an emoji instead of a medical term? Turns out social media platforms are systematically censoring medically accurate content on topics such as menstruation, fertility and menopause – often misclassifying such content as “adult” material and limiting its reach. It goes further, with femtech entrepreneurs also finding themselves routinely censored. Enter the brilliant Clio Wood, co-founder of CensHERship, a research hub and campaign that has ending this sexist nonsense in its sights. Our Mick chats to Clio about exactly what's happening, why it's happening and how it's having a negative effect on everything from women's health outcomes to the global economy. Members of our Patreon £5 and above gang get some extra chat, including what Clio makes of the Government's new Women's Health Strategy.

With Ben Jamal standing down from the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, now is a good time to discuss its future direction. Survey results and discussion involving Mick Napier, Tony Greenstein, Jackie Walker, Craig Murray, Ranjeet Brar, Jonathan Coulter, Sabby Sagall and Ruth Appleton. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiDF9T6qGl4 The IHRA definition of antisemitism labels those who oppose genocide as Racists. The states perpetrating the genocide then criminalise workers for speaking out against Israeli, British and US wars and genocide. THAT is its REAL role: WE MUST CHALLENGE IT! In Britain and across the “western” NATO countries, thousands of doctors, lawyers, teachers, workers and citizens are under legal attack for defending Palestine. I was suspended after criticising Israel's actions in Gaza, and the US-Israeli and British war on Iran. Police arrested me at my home, leaving my children to look after each other. This is the third time I've been targeted by the police and I have faced multiple vexatious complaints and attacks at work - all coming from the state and the zionist lobby working hand in glove with our government. The management are complicit and collaborate in creating this politically repressive environment. In every case of police and workplace harassment, it is the “IHRA definition of antisemitism” that is being used as a benchmark to adjudicate what is “legitimate speech”. The definition was designed as a data gathering tool, and was never intended to become a law, or to be used in this way. Theresa May adopted it for the UK together with Nicola Sturgeon in 2016 without any consultation. The major political parties followed suit (including Plaid Cymru, SNP, Liberal, Labour and the Greens). It was pushed on police forces, schools and colleges, and Wes Streeting has been pushing it actively into the heart of the NHS. So now we have a situation in which existing laws (Public order act, professional regulatory frameworks, university regulations and constitutions) are being interpreted in its light, and the IHRA definition is therefore being “applied” as “law” - to silence legitimate speech on Palestine, and criticism of Israeli, US and British genocide.

Don't Just Stand There - Pt 9 - Silencing the Noise - Proverbs 17:27-28 - Practice: Silence - How do we silence the noise of people, ads, and screens that blare around us 24/7, distracting us from the voice of God? A great place to start is by silencing ourselves. Scripture contains many warnings to guard our mouths. The discipline of silence is a great way to re-set our habits, to remind ourselves to carefully consider our words before we speak.

Welcome to the Personal Development Trailblazers Podcast! In today's episode, we're talking about how to silence the voice that says you're never good enough so that you can find peace in your true identity. For over 35 years Danny has been doing one thing — helping people get out of their own way. As a Lance Sergeant in the Coldstream Guards he led and trained soldiers to perform under the most uncompromising conditions. As a sportsman he represented his regiment at the highest level. As a coach he has worked with soldiers, athletes and everyday people — thousands of them — helping them unlock what they were always capable of. But his most important qualification isn't his military record or his coaching career. It's what happened after he walked through a pair of iron gates in August 1996 with two suitcases and no idea who he was without a uniform. What followed was the darkest chapter of his life. Drugs. Alcohol. Shame. A man who had protected the Queen, represented his regiment and led soldiers into the unknown — reduced to someone he didn't recognise in the mirror.And then — one morning — he looked in that mirror and decided enough. Not with a plan. Not with a programme. With two questions. Where am I now? And who do I want to be? Those two questions changed everything. And they have been at the heart of his coaching, his speaking and his mission ever since. Danny doesn't do it gently. He doesn't do hand holding. He doesn't tell you everything is going to be okay. He tells you the truth. With the directness of a sergeant major, the empathy of someone who has been at the bottom, and the conviction of someone who knows — absolutely knows — the way back up.His message is simple and uncompromising. Your potential isn't gone. The story you're telling yourself isn't the truth. And the person you used to be — before the baggage, before the excuses, before you stopped believing — they're still there. Buried. Waiting. No nonsense. No excuses. Just your best. Danny is at the top of the hill with his hand outstretched... it's your move.Connect with Danny Here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100011170668807https://www.instagram.com/personalgrowthcoach/https://canva.link/coachdannypilkingtonGrab the freebie here: Changethescriptcoaching.ezycourse.com/en/course-detail/thresilienceblueprint/38197===================================If you enjoyed this episode, remember to hit the like button and subscribe.

Egyptian print media has historically functioned as a cultural barometer, shifting from the early official bulletins of the 20th century into a relentless and aggressive form of capitalism on steroids. Professor Bahia Shehab discusses her book, "A Trade in Dreams: A Century of Egyptian Print Advertising", unpacking how visual culture has been both a witness to and a victim of political upheaval. Her research illuminates a century where advertising functioned as legalized psychological operations, deeply embedded in the daily life of Cairo. By dissecting the visual language of the past, she provides a necessary framework for understanding the mono-culture and flattening of aesthetic diversity in the modern era. 00:00 Introduction 01:32 Invention of the Egyptian Press 04:00 The Business Model of Early Advertising 05:50 Motivations for Researching Advertising History 08:20 Discoveries in Beauty Standards and Race 09:55 Sequential Chronology and Political Tectonic Shifts 12:13 Napoleon, Egyptomania, and Early Visual Communication 17:14 1920s–1940s: Agriculture and the Tobacco Export Industry 20:00 Professionalization and Multinational Ad Agencies 22:31 Hybrid Aesthetics: International vs. Local Design 27:21 The Nasser Era: Socialism and Nationalized Media 30:57 The Sadat Era: Peace Treaties and the Open Door Policy 32:33 Influential Figures and the Silencing of Female Voices 37:01 Domination of the Soap Industry 48:58 The 1940s: The Golden Age of Egyptian Advertising 57:04 Egypt's Leading Role in Regional Advertising 59:08 Book Tour and Future Perspectives Bahia Shehab is a multidisciplinary artist, designer, political activist and historian whose work focuses on the interaction and intersection of modern identity and ancient cultural heritage. Her imaginative combination of calligraphy and Islamic art history produced cutting edge, beautiful, impactful street art during the Arab Spring and continues to inform her work as an educator and designer. Having always been concerned with identity and preserving cultural heritage, she investigates art history to reinterpret contemporary Arab politics, feminist discourse and social issues. Her culturally oriented work enables her to use history as a means to better understand the present and find solutions for the future. She believes that art may be employed for the purposes of social change and has explored this phenomenon through her artwork, which focuses on socially charged themes such as the Arab identity and women's rights. Her research is largely concerned with understanding the Arabic letters and has been preoccupied with Arabic calligraphy in much of her work. Her work has been displayed in exhibitions around the world and she has received several awards and recognition for her achievements. Connect with Bahia Shehab
In this episode, Dr. K explores the scientific reality of post-nut clarity and its often-ignored counterpart, pre-nut fog. He explains how the neurochemical shift from a dopamine-driven "search" to an opioid-mediated "bliss" fundamentally alters your ability to focus, assess risk, and silence the internal critic that often holds you back from your goals. What to expect in this episode: The Clarity Reality: Why post-nut clarity is a profound neurological state where the mind becomes super clear, less distracted, and significantly more motivated to focus on tasks. The Dopamine Fog: How "pre-nut" cravings create a "brain rot" that impairs your decision-making and risk assessment in areas of life completely unrelated to sexuality. The Opioid Flood: Understanding why an orgasm feels like a "floating bliss" and how this flood actually inhibits dopamine signaling, essentially cleaning your mental slate of distractions. Subliminal Triggers: A look at research showing it takes as little as 26 milliseconds of sexual stimuli—too fast for the conscious mind to register—to light up your brain's lust pathways. Silencing the Inner Critic: How the opioid surge effectively shuts down ruminative, self-referential thinking, allowing you to be present without worrying about past mistakes or future failures. The Serotonin Boost: Why the post-orgasmic state leads to improved self-esteem and a sense of contentment, helping to reduce the anxiety that makes daily functioning difficult. Post-Nut Armor: How the temporary blunting of the dopaminergic circuitry creates an "armor" against your usual distractions, making you "strongest" for the tasks you are actually passionate about. The "No-Fap" Problem: Why abstaining from sexual activity may not be enough to clear your mind if underlying lust continues to cloud your dopamine circuits. Love, Sex, and Relationships: An introduction to Dr. K's guide, providing a research-based "walkthrough" for navigating modern dating and improving relational health.

Season 6, Episode 19 | Pastor Chad and Shane Oehler discuss Titus 1:10-16, confronting insubordinate empty talkers and deceivers who upset families for shameful gain, charging Titus to silence them sharply and rebuke those led astray so they may be sound in the faith, while catching up on Holy Mountain and learning to recognize where God is already moving.
Queen, you've been a foreigner in your own life for long enough — and it's time to come home. After a real, unfiltered season away, I'm back. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what actually happened: the financial reality of my coaching business, the decision to return to anesthesia, the inner battle I fought for six months, and the hard-won clarity that came out of it all. This isn't just a comeback — it's a full OS upgrade. What You'll Learn Understand why silencing your inner critic doesn't work — and what to do instead: listen with respect Recognize how fear compounds and shrinks your energy, making it even harder to move forward See the difference between "putting your feelings in a corner" and actually processing them Discover what the Unkaged Method really is — not a program, but an operating system upgrade for your life Identify the 5 survival programs most high-achieving women are running without knowing it: Cultural Program, Armor of Achievement, Giving Until Gone, Energy Depletion, and Silencing the Self Why It Matters The systems were never going to protect us — and the current political climate is making that clearer than ever. But what's also clearer is this: we have tools available now that didn't exist in 1930, or the 50s, or the 60s. We can build our own. We can serve our own. But to do that, we have to be able to lead ourselves — and that means getting out of your own way, upgrading the OS, and becoming truly Unkaged. I spent nine months not just teaching this work, but living it. I'm back clearer, stronger, and with more to say than ever.

Welcome to Manufacturing Greatness with Trevor Blondeel, where we work with organizations to manufacture greatness by leveraging resources you already have to achieve greater retention, productivity, and profits. To learn more, visit www.manufacturinggreatness.com and click here to subscribe to Trevor's monthly newsletter. Now, let's jump in! What if the biggest threat to your production efficiency, workforce development, and manufacturing productivity was not a supply chain disruption or a failed kaizen event — but the voice inside your own head? On this episode of Manufacturing Greatness, learn more with Dr. Jenn Donahue, a retired U.S. Navy Captain with 27 years of military service, combat veteran, civil engineer, and one of only 3% of Navy officers to ever reach her rank. She holds a doctorate from UC Berkeley, has been inducted into the National Academy of Engineering, and is the author of Becoming the Warrior. Jenn brings her hard-won leadership experience to the shop floor, connecting the mental battles fought in combat zones directly to the self-doubt that holds back frontline supervisors, shift supervisors, and plant leadership teams every day. We cover practical tools for performance management, communication skills, and leadership development — including why the voice in your head might be the real reason your toughest conversations keep getting pushed to tomorrow. If you're serious about change management, talent retention, and building a stronger safety culture and operations management system, this episode is your starting point. 1:00 — Promoting top performers into leadership roles often creates a confidence problem, not a skills problem. 01:30 — Self-doubt shows up even in the most high-pressure environments, and recognizing it is the first step toward stronger leadership development. 03:00 — Several competing internal voices influence decision making every day, and building self-awareness around them is critical for frontline supervisors and plant leadership teams. 04:30 — The Mean Little Voice quietly erodes confidence by convincing leaders they are not worthy of their position, undermining performance management and talent retention. 05:00 — The Sneaky Little Bastard redirects leaders away from difficult conversations and hard decisions, creating real gaps in accountability, communication skills, and production efficiency. 08:30 — Instinct and intuition are distinct forces in leadership decision making, and understanding the difference helps leaders assess whether hesitation is rational or just self-preservation. 10:30 — A simple gut-check question — am I being rational, or am I being selfish — can help manufacturing leaders cut through avoidance and act in the best interest of their operation. 14:30 — The four-step Perceive, Assess, Ready, Act framework gives leaders a practical tool for working through self-doubt and taking confident action under pressure. 22:00 — Humility and imposter syndrome are not the same thing, and confusing the two causes leaders to discount the experience and results they have already earned. 29:00 — Recalling past wins, people developed, and problems solved is one of the most powerful ways to build the positive bias that drives confident leadership on the shop floor.

In this episode of Hurdle, host Emily sits down with professional runner Jess McClain fresh off her monumental performance as the top American finisher at the 2026 Boston Marathon. Recorded in London, where the duo got to run in the upcoming Brooks' upcoming Hyperion Elite 6 and cheer at the 2026 London Marathon, Jess unpacks the physical and mental evolution required to clock a personal best of 2:20:49 on one of the world's most challenging courses. From navigating the "what if" game to handling mid-race mishaps like dropping a fueling bottle, Jess shares a grounded, authentic perspective on what it means to find joy in professional sport. IN THIS EPISODE The Boston Breakthrough: Jess breaks down her strategy for the "Crest of Heartbreak Hill" and how her focus on downhill training and pace changes paid off in the final 10K. Silencing the "What If" Game: A deep dive into the mental shift Jess made during training—moving away from obsessing over variables she couldn’t control and focusing on being 1% better incrementally. Resilience Under Pressure: Jess reflects on the chaos of the Half Marathon Championships where she was directed the wrong way, and how that experience actually built her confidence for the high-stakes friction of Boston. Life Beyond the Miles: An honest conversation about the "other things" that bring joy, including Jess's experience with egg freezing, her thoughts on family planning, and the importance of a supportive partner who sees her greatness. The "My Way" Philosophy: Why Jess decided to stop trying to be a "robotic" athlete and instead leaned into her own unique rhythm, finding that her way is the best way for her. QUOTABLE MOMENTS "I think it’s being okay where you’re at and doing the most that you can day-to-day, week-to-week, to just be 1% better incrementally and not put so much pressure on the big dream." "I spent so much time being told that I shouldn't do anything else... that I'm not dedicated enough. And it's just so not true. You can plan for your future and still have a really kick-ass time running and racing at a high level." "Running's not going to go well all the time. You should be able to tap into other things that bring you joy." "I’ve put my health and the 'fun meter' on the front burner. It feels good to be like, my way is the best way for me, instead of trying to fit myself into so many different molds."

The Armor That Made You Successful Is Holding You Back You hit the goals. You climbed the ranks. You built the resilience, the discipline, the thick skin. But somewhere along the way, you stopped asking whether the version of you that got here is the version that will get you where you actually want to go. This episode is for the high achiever who suspects the armor they are wearing has quietly become the thing limiting their next chapter. Rocky Lalvani sits down with Victoria Pelletier, a woman who went from a childhood marked by abuse and poverty to becoming a COO at 24, only to discover that the "Iron Maiden" persona she had built to survive the boardroom was costing her the relationships, trust, and fulfillment that real leadership demands. Victoria shares how she made the deliberate, uncomfortable pivot from command-and-control toughness to what she calls whole human leadership, and why that shift unlocked levels of success her armor never could. In This Episode: How childhood adversity created the drive for success and the armor that came with it The moment Victoria learned her "Iron Maiden" nickname was not a compliment Why your definition of success must evolve as you do The false choice between being right and being rich Whole human leadership: what it means and why corporate culture still resists it AI in the workplace: what is real, what is fear, and what is just a corporate excuse Why stepping into your zone of discomfort is where the real growth happens Key Insights: The same traits that propel you to the top can quietly isolate you from the people and the purpose that make the top worth reaching. Incentives drive behavior, and the exceptions leadership makes are what everyone is truly watching. Values on the wall mean nothing without accountability in action. Confidence is often equated with competence, but real strength comes from letting people see the full human behind the title. Being right and being rich are not mutually exclusive. Silencing your values for short-term gain is a trade-off that compounds against you. Everything you have ever wanted lives on the other side of fear. Growth happens in the zone of discomfort, not in the zone of safety. Money Learning: Nobody taught Victoria about money. Not her family, not school, not even the bank she worked at early in her career. Her adoptive parents declared bankruptcy twice and spent more than the little they had. School offered trigonometry but nothing about budgeting, saving, or building wealth. Even when Victoria earned her securities license and learned to manage other people's money in banking, the fundamentals of personal financial discipline were never part of the curriculum. Everything she knows about money she built herself, starting with her first job at age eleven. Her story is a powerful reminder that for many high achievers, the wealth mindset that drives them was not handed down. It was forged from watching what not to do and deciding to build something different. Why This Conversation Matters: Leaders are under more pressure than ever. AI is reshaping workforces. Employees are demanding more humanity and transparency from the people above them. And the default response for most executives is still the same one Victoria relied on in her twenties: put on the armor, push through, do not let anyone see you struggle. Victoria's story is a direct challenge to that instinct. She is proof that the leaders who will thrive in what comes next are not the ones who absorb the most pressure without flinching. They are the ones willing to lead as full human beings, to build trust instead of compliance, and to tell the truth even when it is uncomfortable. This is not a conversation about soft skills. It is a conversation about what durable, high-impact leadership actually demands when the old playbook stops working. About Victoria Pelletier: Award-winning executive leader, #1 best-selling author, in-demand professional public speaker, corporate executive, board director, entrepreneur, #1 social seller/public brand worldwide per LinkedIn for her F500 employers, sought out for discussions on motivation, Diversity Equity & Inclusion, women in leadership, culture, workforce and more. "Unstoppable and Dynamic: Born to lead and not to be led." Overcoming adversity and trauma at an early age built resilience. A trait that has remained with her throughout her life and has helped Victoria excel as a corporate executive, mentor and leader — for which she is often characterized as dynamic and unstoppable.

Personal coaching, deliverance, e-courses, training for ministry, and mentorships! https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/training/# In this episode of Prophetic Spiritual Warfare, Kathy DeGraw reveals how demonic constriction works to silence your voice, weaken your prayer life, and suffocate your spiritual strength. She teaches how the python spirit operates through heaviness, fatigue, throat tightness, distraction, false prophecy, and spiritual delay, all with the goal of stopping your worship, intercession, and prophetic release. Kathy brings biblical teaching from Acts 16 and Luke 10:19 to show that you do not have to live under spiritual oppression, confusion, or passivity. Instead, you can discern the source, renounce the attack, and command the enemy to loose your breath, your sound, and your destiny in Jesus' name. This message will help you understand why you may have felt spiritually dry, stuck, prayerless, or unable to speak with boldness. If you have battled spiritual warfare, prophetic silence, worship resistance, or demonic delay, this teaching will equip you to rise up in authority and reclaim your God-given voice. Get ready to identify the enemy, break agreement with constriction, and step back into freedom, healing, and prophetic strength. #PythonSpirit #SpiritualWarfare #PropheticDeliverance #BreakConstriction #ChristianDeliverance **Connect with Us** - Website: https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/ - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kathydegraw/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kathydegraw/ Podcast - Subscribe to our YouTube channel and listen to Kathy's Podcast called Prophetic Spiritual Warfare, or on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/show/3mYPPkP28xqcTzdeoucJZu or Apple podcasts at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/prophetic-spiritual-warfare/id1474710499 **Recommended Resources:** - Receive a free prayer pdf on Python at https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/python/- Receive a free prayer pdf on Anointing Oil at https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/anointingoil/ - Kathy's training, mentoring and e-courses on Spiritual Warfare, Deliverance and the Prophetic: https://training.kathydegrawministries.org/ - Healed At Last ~ Overcome Sickness and Receive your Physical Healing: https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/healed-at-last/ - Mind Battles – Root Out Mental Triggers to Release Peace!: https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/product/mind-battles-pre-order-available-january-2023/ -Kathy has several books available on Amazon or kathydegrawministries.org **Support Kathy DeGraw Ministries:** - Give a one-time love offering or consider partnering with us for $15, $35, $75 or any amount!

1. SAVE America Act (Election Law & Voter ID) Core Argument The SAVE America Act would: Require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote Require photo ID to vote Democrats are portrayed as unanimously opposed, preventing passage due to the Senate’s 60‑vote threshold. Strategic Claim Cruz argues Republicans should: Force a “real” filibuster (continuous floor speeches) Make Democratic opposition politically and physically costly He frames Democratic resistance as intentional rather than procedural. Public Opinion Framing Polling is cited (CNN, Pew) to claim: Broad bipartisan and multiracial support for voter ID Democratic leadership (especially Chuck Schumer) is accused of ignoring their own voters. 2. Voter Fraud & Ballot Harvesting Claims Presented Ballot harvesting is described as: A system that enables fraud, especially among elderly or vulnerable populations Democrats are accused of: Supporting policies that increase fraud opportunities Reversing recommendations from the Carter–Baker Commission There is justification for: Photo ID laws Restrictions on mail-in voting Limits on third-party ballot collection 3. Somali Welfare Fraud in Minnesota Central Allegation Massive welfare fraud in Minnesota tied to programs serving the Somali immigrant community. Figures cited include: Up to half of $18 billion in welfare spending allegedly lost to fraud Disproportionately high welfare participation rates among Somali households Democratic state officials are accused of: Knowing about the fraud Allowing it to continue for political gain Silencing whistleblowers Stolen welfare funds indirectly finance al‑Shabab, a terrorist organization 4. Medical Policy Shift on Gender Surgeries for Minors Key Development The American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Medical Association are described as: Reversing prior support for “gender‑affirming surgeries” for minors Now recommending deferral until adulthood Causal Explanation The reversal is attributed to: A high‑profile malpractice lawsuit by a detransitioner Legal and financial risk to medical institution Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
