When the season changes, the way we eat often needs to change too.In this episode, I'm bringing you back to where Plan Simple began: food. I'm sharing how I'm resetting food in my own life this fall as our family rhythms shift, schedules change, and I pay closer attention to the energy I need for everything I want to do.I'll walk you through the simple questions I use to reset:Why does food matter to you right now?What was working before—and what isn't working anymore?What are the actual circumstances of this season?What three things could make food feel easier and better right now?We'll talk about family dinners, feeding yourself when you work from home, seasonal rhythms, meal planning, grocery shopping, energy, and why food is an important part of productivity.You don't need a perfect meal plan. You need a food rhythm that works for the life you're living now.
She Breaks Free....Ditch the Diet & Change Your Relationship with Food & Fitness
Can I let you in on a little secret? Healthy eating really isn't that hard. But we've made it hard. We've convinced ourselves that eating healthy means spending hours meal prepping every Sunday. It means finding complicated recipes with 17 ingredients that nobody actually wants to eat three days later. It means buying expensive “health foods,” giving up the foods we love, never eating out again, and somehow eating perfectly seven days a week. And then we wonder… “Why can't I stick with this?” But what if the problem isn't that you need more willpower? What if you simply need to be more prepared for real life? Because think about what happens when you're hungry, exhausted, running late, stressed, or juggling a million things. You're probably not thinking, “Let me make this complicated, perfectly balanced meal from scratch!” You're thinking, “What can I eat right now?” And in those moments, you're going to reach for what's easiest. So instead of expecting yourself to make perfect choices in every situation, what if you started making the healthy choice easier to choose? That's what we're talking about today. I'm going to give you three simple ways to prep for healthy eating success—without turning your kitchen into a meal-prep factory and without creating another restrictive diet that you're going to abandon in a few weeks. Because healthy eating shouldn't require perfection. It shouldn't mean following a million rules. And it definitely shouldn't make you feel like you can't enjoy your favorite foods or live your life. The goal is to make healthy choices easier—not to make your life harder. So if you've ever found yourself thinking, “I know what I should eat, but when life gets busy, I just don't do it,” this episode is for you. Let's talk about how a little preparation can help you feel more confident, more consistent, and less overwhelmed when it comes to healthy eating. And if you want some extra support and accountability along the way, I'd love to connect with you. Come join us inside our Facebook community, Lose Weight, Live Free, where you can connect with other women who are working through these same struggles. And if you're ready for more personalized guidance, you can email me at TaraJ@DietDitching.com. I'd love to connect with you and talk about how I can help you on your journey. Now, let's get into those three simple ways you can start prepping for success.

For millions of vulnerable children around the world, a pair of shoes can mean far more than having something new to wear. It can mean the difference between going to school and staying home, between greater protection from disease and continued exposure, and even between feeling forgotten and knowing someone cares.That's why FaithFi is partnering with Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls throughout September, a ministry of Buckner International, to help provide new shoes and socks to children in need around the world.Shawn Spurrier, Director of Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls, joined the show today to explain why something as ordinary as a pair of shoes can have such an extraordinary impact.Removing a Barrier to EducationFor most families in the United States, buying shoes is simply part of getting children ready for school. But in many parts of the world, adequate footwear is required to attend class.According to Spurrier, an estimated 300 million children worldwide lack access to adequate footwear, and tens of millions may miss school as a result. In many countries, children cannot attend school without shoes.That makes a pair of shoes more than a practical gift. It can help remove a barrier to education and give a child greater opportunity to rise above poverty.Shoes also provide important protection from cuts, injuries, parasites, and footborne diseases. For children living in vulnerable communities, those protections can make a meaningful difference in their health and daily lives.Health, Dignity, and the Love of ChristThe impact goes beyond education and physical health.When children receive new shoes, they may also gain a greater sense of dignity and confidence. Proper footwear can help reduce some of the social stigma children experience because of poverty or illness.Most importantly, Buckner sees every pair of shoes as an opportunity to communicate Christ's love.Since 1999, Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls has collected and distributed approximately 5.25 million pairs of shoes in 86 countries. Today, Buckner maintains programming in the United States and several countries throughout Latin America and Africa, including Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, the Dominican Republic, Peru, Kenya, and Ethiopia.A pair of shoes may seem like a small piece of a much larger effort to strengthen vulnerable families. But small acts of generosity can open doors to deeper relationships and lasting transformation.When a Pair of Shoes Says, “You Are Not Forgotten”Spurrier shared the story of a young girl named Romina, whom Buckner served near Oaxaca, Mexico.Romina was about six years old when she attended a shoe distribution at one of Buckner's Family Hope Centers. During the distribution, volunteers washed her feet, talked with her, and reminded her that God loved her and cared for her.As Romina received her new shoes, she began to cry.At first, Spurrier wondered if something was wrong. But a Buckner family coach explained that Romina was simply overwhelmed that someone had thought enough of her to give her a new pair of shoes.The story didn't end with the distribution.Romina's family became connected with the local Family Hope Center and embraced the support offered there. Over time, their circumstances changed. Romina, once shy and anxious, became a leader in her after-school programs, reaching out to children who felt excluded and even praying with other students. Her family eventually reached greater economic and spiritual stability and began volunteering with Buckner to encourage other families.It's a reminder that we rarely know how God may use a simple act of generosity.A pair of shoes met an immediate physical need. But it also helped communicate something deeper: You are seen. You are loved. You have not been forgotten.More Than a One-Time GiftBuckner's ministry doesn't simply distribute shoes and leave.In many of the communities where it serves, Buckner operates Family Hope Centers that provide ongoing, Christ-centered support designed to help families move toward greater stability. The ministry also works alongside local churches and trusted community partners to connect families with resources and relationships that extend beyond the initial shoe distribution.Each pair of shoes also includes an encouraging message reminding the child of God's love. In some communities, distributions are accompanied by Scripture, Bibles, Vacation Bible School programs, and opportunities for children and families to hear the gospel.That long-term approach matters.Meeting a practical need can become the beginning of a relationship. And as children and families experience both tangible care and spiritual encouragement, the impact can spread throughout an entire community.A Simple Way to Make a DifferenceThroughout September, FaithFi and Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls have set a goal of providing shoes for 1,000 children worldwide.Every $15 provides a child with a new pair of shoes and socks and helps cover the cost of getting them where they are needed. A gift of $150 can provide shoes and socks for 10 children.It's a simple gift, but its impact can reach much further.A pair of shoes can help a child walk into a classroom. It can protect against injury and disease. It can restore dignity and confidence. And through Buckner's ministry, it can become a tangible expression of the love of Jesus Christ.If you'd like to join FaithFi and Buckner in reaching 1,000 children this September, visit GiveShoesToday.org.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My pension ends when I die, and I want to protect my wife and special-needs son. I already have a special needs trust for my son and am considering about $1 million of term life insurance, possibly using a laddered strategy so coverage decreases over time. Does that make sense, and how should I balance life insurance with investing for their future?I'll reach full Social Security retirement age next June and plan to keep working, earning about $60,000 a year.

Life comes with hardships. For some people being single is difficult, while for others staying married is stressful. Having kids is tough, yet for some people, so is not having children to share their life with. Being overworked can cause stress, but so does being unemployed. Joining us today is Susie Moore: a life coach, and bestselling author of Let It Be Easy. She believes while we can't always control what happens to us, we can choose how we react. Our thoughts, create our emotions, which create our actions, and that in turn creates the life we live. Susie Moore is a former Silicon Valley sales director turned life coach and advice columnist. Her work has been featured on The Today Show, Oprah Business Insider, CNN, and more. Listen to this joyful interview as Susie tells us how to slow down, and enjoy the everyday moments we often fly by rushing to finish our to-do lists.

What does your credit score really say about you? And more importantly, how can a few smart moves help you improve it? If you're unhappy about your current score and looking for some ways to boost it a bit, or even a lot, keep listening because in this tip, we're sharing some key things you can do to get that score you've always wanted.

Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter! Learn more about Triangle Credit Union Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast. With interest rates still higher than many people have become used to over the last decade, your credit score can have a bigger impact on your wallet than ever before. Whether you're applying for a credit card, financing a vehicle, buying a home, or looking for a home equity loan, your credit score plays a major role in the rates and terms you receive. The good news? Even small improvements to your score can make a difference. Most credit scores range from 300 to 850. Generally speaking, a score of 670 or higher is considered good, 740 and above is very good, and 800-plus is excellent. So, if your score could use a little help, here are five practical ways to start moving it in the right direction. Tip number one: Give your credit a breather. Every time you apply for new credit, a hard inquiry may appear on your report. One application won't do much damage, but several in a short period can. If you're not actively shopping for a loan, consider pressing pause on new credit applications. Tip number two: Make every payment on time. This remains the single most important factor affecting most credit scores. If remembering due dates is a challenge, set up automatic payments or reminders. Even one missed payment can have a lasting impact. Tip number three: Lower your credit utilization. In simple terms, that's how much of your available credit you're using. If your cards are close to their limits, try paying down balances. Many financial experts recommend keeping utilization below 30%, and even lower is better. Tip number four: Build credit strategically. If you're new to credit or rebuilding after a setback, a secured credit card or credit-builder loan may help. These tools can demonstrate responsible borrowing habits and gradually strengthen your credit profile. Tip number five: Think carefully before closing old accounts. It may seem like closing unused cards is always a good idea, but older accounts can help establish a longer credit history. If a card has no annual fee and isn't causing problems, keeping it open may actually benefit your score. One more quick reminder: Regularly review your credit report for errors. Incorrect information happens more often than people realize, and identifying an issue early can save time and frustration. Check out annualcreditreport.com for a free credit report or if you have a Better Checking account you have automatic access to a free credit report every 90 days. Just log into your Better checking app to take a look. Building a stronger credit score doesn't happen overnight, but consistent habits can lead to meaningful results. Focus on paying on time, managing balances wisely, and being intentional about new credit. If there are any other tips or topics you'd like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org.

It is practical positive parenting for raising a child who notices what everyone else is carrying.

“When we approach nutrition from a place of addition rather than restriction, I think it can become so much more approachable, doable, and honestly, fun.”In this episode, I'm sharing a different approach to nutrition: focusing on what you can add rather than what you should cut out. I walk through three of my favorite ways to add nutrition while emphasizing that eating enough comes before focusing on variety or optimization. I also talk about how healing your relationship with food can give you more freedom to consider nutrition alongside taste and satisfaction, rather than letting calories or diet culture make every decision. The goal is to make nutrition feel enjoyable, flexible, and supportive, not restrictive or rigid.✅ What You'll Learn:Why eating enough is the foundation of nutrition before focusing on variety and micronutrientsSimple ways to add plant-based micronutrients to various dishesHow to add more fiber in ways that feel enjoyable and approachable, using every day foodsHow smoothies can be an easy and fun way to combine a variety of foods, flavors, and nutrientsWhy healing your relationship with food allows you to consider nutrition alongside taste, satisfaction, convenience, preferences, and your body's needsHow to approach nutrition without turning it into another rigid set of rules, tracking system, or source of food guilt and anxiety

When depression makes you feel isolated, worthless, or disconnected from the world around you, interacting with something living can create a sense of belonging that can be difficult to find anywhere else.I share nine practical ways to reconnect with the natural world, from simply opening a window or taking a walk to growing something, caring for an animal, creating nature-based art, and even sleeping outside. None of these works every time—but nature has helped pull me through more depressive episodes than I can count.You are not separate from nature. You are nature. Sometimes caring for the living world around you—and remembering that you're part of it—can help you begin caring about yourself again.If my podcast has helped, my new book, The Light Between the Leaves, goes even deeperNext Steps:

We explore how Emotional Freedom Techniques, angelic guidance, and chakra awareness can work together to support emotional release, strengthen intuition, and help us move through old patterns with greater compassion. I begin with a reflection on the energy following a lunar eclipse. Eclipses can reveal old emotions, uncertainty, tenderness, and survival patterns—but what surfaces in the shadow is not the whole of who we are. Just as the moon remains whole while moving through temporary darkness, we can allow difficult feelings to move through us without making them our identity. Susan then introduces us to Angel EFT, her intuitive approach to combining EFT tapping with the invocation of angelic support. She explains how the practice begins with "Palms Awake," a receptive position in which the hands rest open with the palms facing upward. From this still point, we can name what we are experiencing, set an intention, ask the angels for support, and begin tapping. "It's like the weather—it's going to change. It's like the clouds in the sky; they're never the same. The tide goes in and out. So, too, are our human emotions." — Susan Browne Key Points • Old emotions and survival patterns may surface, but they do not define who we are. • EFT tapping can create space for calm, clarity, emotional healing, and manifestation. • Angel EFT combines tapping with intentional requests for angelic guidance and support. • The Palms Awake position offers a simple way to become receptive, connect with Spirit, and set an intention before tapping. • There is no perfect formula. Angel EFT is a flexible and forgiving practice that can be adapted to what feels natural. • Emotional honesty is essential. Instead of spiritually bypassing uncomfortable feelings, we can name what is truly happening and tap with it directly. • Locating anxiety or heaviness in the body creates a grounded starting point for the tapping process. • Tapping scripts can help us begin, but the words should evolve as new feelings, physical sensations, and insights arise. • Susan's 12-chakra framework connects human lessons with archangelic support, energetic healing, and higher-dimensional growth. • Empaths can use tapping to sort through emotional layers, distinguish personal feelings from collective heaviness, and return to their own center. • Spiritual growth asks us to remain authentic rather than dimming our light or lowering our vibration to fit in. • Asking the angels powerful questions can move us from problem-focused thinking into a more intuitive, solution-focused state. • Skepticism does not need to be challenged. Everyone becomes open to spiritual ideas in their own way and in their own time. • Angel EFT can become a practical part of a spiritual wellness toolbox for everyday emotions, intentions, challenges, and spiritual connection. A Simple Way to Explore Angel EFT 1. Become receptive. Rest your hands in your lap with your palms facing upward. Breathe and allow yourself to become present. 2. Name what is here. Honestly acknowledge the emotion, physical sensation, block, or intention you want to explore. 3. Invite support. Ask the angels for the specific help, clarity, or energetic support you need. 4. Begin tapping. Move through the tapping points using words that reflect your genuine experience. Notice what shifts and what new feelings or insights arise. 5. Return to stillness. Come back to Palms Awake, listen inwardly, and remain open to intuition, guidance, or a new perspective. This practice is not about denying what hurts or rushing toward a higher vibration. It is an invitation to bring awareness, compassion, and spiritual support to the places within us that are ready to change.

Instead, you'll learn how to filter out the noise, recognize when nutrition debates probably don't matter, and use your own feedback to discover what actually works for you.Stop following.

The biggest cybersecurity threat to your dental practice may not be a hacker trying to break through your firewall. It could be a vendor you already trust. In this episode of the Raving Patients Podcast, Dr. Len Tau sits down with Anthony Jurjevic, CISSP, founder and CEO of Techspedient, to uncover the cybersecurity risks many dental practices do not realize are already inside their networks. With more than 25 years in healthcare IT and cybersecurity, including over 15 years focused on dental technology, Anthony explains why vendor access, outdated credentials, shared passwords, and poorly managed remote access tools can leave practices vulnerable. Anthony explains how practice management companies, imaging vendors, billing services, patient communication platforms, phone systems, and other vendors may have ongoing access to a practice's network. The problem is not necessarily that these vendors are unsafe. It is that many practices do not know who still has access, how that access is being monitored, or what happens if a vendor's credentials are compromised. The conversation also tackles one of the biggest misconceptions in dental cybersecurity: being in the cloud does not automatically mean your practice is backed up or secure. Anthony shares how attackers can compromise a workstation, use saved credentials to access cloud-based patient information, and quietly steal data without encrypting an entire network. He explains why modern ransomware attacks increasingly focus on data theft and extortion, making traditional backups only one piece of a much larger security strategy. Dr. Len and Anthony also discuss HIPAA compliance, what happens after a ransomware attack, the importance of cyber insurance and forensic investigations, and the practical steps dentists can take right now to identify vulnerabilities. From auditing vendor access and removing former employees to testing backups, enabling multi-factor authentication, and conducting third-party cybersecurity assessments, this episode gives practice owners a practical look at protecting both their patients and their businesses. What You'll Learn Why trusted vendors can become one of your biggest cybersecurity vulnerabilities How unattended remote access can expose your dental practice Why being "in the cloud" does not automatically make your data safe How modern ransomware has shifted from encrypting data to stealing it Why backups cannot protect you once patient data has already been stolen What "HIPAA compliant" software really means for a dental practice What to do immediately after discovering a possible ransomware attack Why individual user accounts are safer than shared passwords How to audit vendor access, administrative permissions, and former employee accounts Why multi-factor authentication should be enabled wherever possible How penetration testing can reveal weaknesses before an attacker finds them — Key Takeaways 02:13 Your Vendors Have the Keys: The Cyber Risk Dental Practices Ignore 03:45 Meet Anthony Jurjevic 05:35 The Hidden Risk of Vendor Access 09:55 Why the Cloud Is Not a Backup 13:12 Ransomware, Data Theft, and Cyber Threats 17:57 What HIPAA Compliance Really Means 19:42 What Happens After a Ransomware Attack 24:54 Simple Ways to Protect Your Practice 26:20 The Danger of Shared Credentials 30:06 Testing Your Practice's Cybersecurity 32:15 Lightning Round 35:55 Connect With Anthony — Connect With Anthony Email: ajurjevic@techspedient.com Phone: 732-275-2708 Company: Techspedient - https://www.techspedient.com/ Anthony is also offering Raving Patients listeners a free simulated phishing attack for their practice.

The Language of Play - Kids that Listen, Speech Therapy, Language Development, Early Intervention
Hey Friends~ Have you ever thought about what your baby is actually experiencing when you sing to them? Because it turns out, your baby doesn't care whether you think you can sing. Your baby wants to hear you sing. And those little moments of singing, playing, smiling, and simply enjoying each other can do far more than fill the time. They can help build secure connection, support emotional regulation, and even lay foundations for language. Today's guest, musician, music therapist, and psychotherapist: Vered, calls some of these experiences “Bubble Moments”: those beautiful moments when you and your child are genuinely happy together. And what I love is that she says we don't have to just wait for those moments to happen. We can actually create them, especially in the ordinary, repeatable moments of our day. And then Vered said something that absolutely fascinated me: a song can become an emotional transitional object for a child, much like a favorite blanket or pacifier, because the music itself holds feeling. Today, we're talking about music, play, connection, regulation, sound and silence, and the surprising ways all of it can support your child's communication and language. And yes, even if you're convinced you cannot sing, this episode is for you! Always cheering you on! Dinalynn CONTACT the Host, Dinalynn: hello@thelanguageofplay.com Have a QUESTION or COMMENT?

Her approach began with her own experience as a new mother, when she discovered how singing, movement, and playful interaction deepened the connection she felt with her infant son, Peleg. That experience grew into Baby in Tune, through which she has helped thousands of parents build stronger relationships with their babies, as well as her book, What Do I Do With My Baby All Day?!: Simple Ways to Have the Best First Year Together. Her award-winning music has received Parents' Choice and NAPPA Gold Awards, and her newest album, Adorable You, brings her story full circle: nearly two decades after inspiring her work, Peleg helped write and produce the album and added his own vocals and harmonies.

You know those homeschool conversations where someone asks, “What curriculum are you using?” Sometimes it is harmless. Sometimes she is just curious, looking for ideas, or trying to understand what is working for another family. But sometimes that question lands in a tender place. You hear what someone else is using, what level their child is in, what tutorial they joined, how fast they are moving, or how much that mother expects every day—and suddenly your own homeschool starts to look smaller in your mind. In this episode, I'm talking about the pressure that can rise when another family's path starts to feel like the ruler you should use to measure your own. I share a recent conversation with a mother in a very full season who was trying to make wise decisions for the actual children in her home, only to feel deeply criticized by someone whose family and season looked very different from hers. That kind of conversation can make a mother wonder whether she should push harder, add more, or copy a path that does not truly fit. And I want to be clear: structured curriculum, co-ops, tutorials, high expectations, and rigorous homeschooling can be wonderful gifts when they are serving a specific child and family well. This episode is not against structure, challenge, discipline, or asking children to do hard things. But your homeschool does not have to win a conversation. If comparison has been making you question a path that is truly serving your children, this episode will help you slow down, look honestly at what God has placed in front of you, and choose faithfulness over impressiveness. Scripture referenced: Proverbs 3:5–6, ESV: “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” This passage is not a promise that every homeschool decision will be obvious, easy, or free from struggle. It is a call to trust the Lord, acknowledge Him in ordinary decisions, and refuse to build our homeschool on fear, appearance, comparison, or our own limited understanding. XOXO, Katie

Your schedule changed.And somehow, the things you'd been doing so consistently just… disappeared.So what happened?In this episode of The Simplicity of Wellness Podcast, Amy shares something surprising she noticed after completing a 75-day challenge—and why the habits she enjoyed the most were the ones that vanished when her normal routine changed.What she discovered completely changes the way we should think about consistency, falling off track, and that dreaded feeling that once again, “I was doing so well and then I blew it.”Because there's something most of us misunderstand about how long it actually takes for a new behavior to become part of our lives—and knowing this might change the way you approach healthy eating, exercise, weight loss, or any lifestyle change you're trying to make.Amy is also starting a brand-new experiment inside Hangry to Healthy based on what she learned.

Identity theft red flags are no joke. From a suspicious looking email, to an alarming text message, learning how to detect fraud before it happens is a critical skill we all need to develop. Detecting fraud before or even during an event can make a big difference in determining how much time and resources you'll need to spend fixing the damage done.

Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter! Learn more about Triangle Credit Union Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast. This week we're sharing a tip from the America Saves Check Fraud awareness campaign focused on how to detect fraud, particularly check fraud early, so you can act quickly to stop fraudsters in their tracks before too much damage is done. Take a moment, listen in, and share it with others so they can be made aware of this ongoing financial threat. Whether a check was stolen from the mail, altered, forged, or used in a scam, the sooner you notice suspicious activity, the better your chances are of limiting financial loss and protecting your account. The challenge? Check fraud is not always obvious right away. A payment may seem delayed. A check might clear for the wrong amount. Or you may notice a transaction you don't recognize weeks later. That's why regular account monitoring matters. Here's how to spot the warning signs of check fraud and what to do if something doesn't look right. Warning Signs of Check Fraud Fraud often leaves some clues. Knowing what to look for can help you act quickly. 1. A Check Hasn't Been Cashed When You Expected It To If you mailed a payment and it has not been processed within the normal timeframe, it is worth checking on. This does not always mean fraud, but it could mean the check was delayed, lost, or intercepted. What to do: Start by contacting the person or company you paid, and confirm whether they've received it or not. 2. A Check Clears for the Wrong Amount One of the clearest warning signs is a check clearing for more (or less) than you wrote it for. This may happen in cases of check washing or altered checks. What to do: Compare your check register or payment records to your account statement, and review the check image. Most financial institutions provide them through online banking, or you can request them at your local branch or customer service line. 3. You See a Payment to Someone You Don't Recognize If your account shows a check made out to a person or business you did not authorize, that could be a sign of fraud. This may happen with forged or altered checks. What to do: Review the transaction details immediately, and contact your financial institution right away 4. Missing Checks or Missing Mail If checks from your checkbook are missing or you notice missing mail, it may signal theft. Stolen blank checks can be used fraudulently. What to do: Secure your remaining checks; report missing checks to your financial institution and any missing mail to the post office. 5. Unfamiliar Withdrawals or Account Activity Not all fraud appears as a check image. Sometimes fraud starts with stolen account information and shows up as other account activity. What to do: Watch for small test transactions, unusual withdrawals or multiple failed payment attempts. Simple Ways to Monitor Your Accounts The best way to catch fraud early is to make account monitoring a regular habit. It does not have to take long. Set Up Account Alerts Most financial institutions allow you to set up alerts for withdrawals, deposits, checks clearing, low balances and large transactions. These alerts can help you spot suspicious activity quickly. If you are not comfortable using mobile banking, ask your financial institution if they offer phone, text or email alerts. Review Your Account Weekly A quick weekly review can help you catch issues before they grow. Check for payments you don't recognize, checks clearing for the wrong amount, or missing expected transactions. Even five minutes can help. Check Your Cleared Check Images Many financial institutions allow you to view images of checks that have cleared. Look for the correct payee, correct amount, and your actual signature. This can help spot altered or forged checks. Keep a Simple Record of Checks You Send Whether it's a checkbook register, a notebook, or a note on your phone, tracking helps. Record the date you sent the payment, the amount and the recipients information. That makes it easier to compare later. Be Careful with Unexpected Checks If you receive a check you were not expecting, especially tied to a job, prize, or payment request….pause! Ask questions before depositing it. Unexpected money is often a warning sign. What to Do If You Notice Something Suspicious If you think something may be wrong, act quickly. Step 1: Contact Your Financial Institution Review what you've noticed with them. They can assist with freezing or flagging the account and transaction, place a stop payment or investigate the issue further. The sooner you contact them, the better. Step 2: Gather Your Records Collect check numbers, account statements, payment records, and any related emails, text, or related messages. Having information ready can speed up the process. Step 3: Monitor Closely After reporting suspicious activity, keep watching your account. Fraud sometimes happens in more than one transaction. Step 4: Change Account Security If Needed Depending on the situation, it may be recommend that you close your account and open a new one, update passwords or add extra account protections. Early Action Can Make a Big Difference Check fraud can be stressful but early detection gives you more options. The key is simple: Review your account regularly Pay attention to missing or unusual transactions Act quickly if something feels off Small habits can help protect your money. Download our check fraud detection checklist to help monitor your account, track payments, and catch suspicious activity sooner.

Vered Benhorin, music therapist and Baby in Tune founder, joins me to explore how music and connection can be powerful tools in your parenting toolbox. Together we explore: Why creating just a few intentional moments of connection each day matters far more than trying to be perfectly present all the time. The simple shift that can transform ordinary routines like diaper changes, snack time, or bedtime into relationship-building moments. How music can help you stay playful and connected before everyday frustrations turn into power struggles. Why following your child's lead during moments of exploration benefits both of your nervous systems. How songs can become emotional shortcuts that help your child feel safe, understood, and connected when big feelings arise. The surprising reason these "bubble moments" are just as important for parents as they are for children. Why the joy and wonder children experience can help us see the world differently, no matter how old they are. Whether you're parenting a newborn, a toddler, or a teenager, this conversation is a gentle reminder that secure attachment isn't built through perfection. It's built through small moments of presence, delight, and connection that add up over time. LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

What does it look like to share the gospel with confidence, build meaningful relationships with people who are far from God, and reach the next generation without turning faith into an argument? In the Season 3 premiere of Cornerstone Conversations, Pastor Josh Hersey sits down with Brian Smith Sr., senior pastor of Hope Church Movement in Phoenix, Arizona, for a practical conversation about evangelism, college ministry, discipleship, and the power of belonging. Brian shares his journey from fraternity life to following Jesus, the unforgettable question “When did you die?” that changed his life, and why salvation is not about making bad people good, but bringing spiritually dead people to life. Together, they discuss how to share your testimony, build relational equity, identify your “plus one,” and use the SALT method: start a conversation, ask questions, listen, and tell your story and the gospel story. Brian also explains the crisis triangle, the battle to belong, and four simple truths that clearly communicate the gospel: we have all fallen, we cannot get up, Jesus took the fall, and Jesus got up. Whether you want to learn how to share your faith, reach college students, talk about Jesus without being pushy, or help someone belong before they believe, this conversation offers biblical encouragement and practical tools you can begin using today. Subscribe to Cornerstone Conversations for more honest discussions about following Jesus, growing as a disciple, and living out the gospel in everyday life. New here or made a decision to follow Jesus today? We would love to connect with you. Fill out our digital connection card: https://churchontherock.net/connect-card

I got to sit down with Kristen Arnett, and honestly, I wanted to just listen the whole time. She has spent her career helping parents raise confident daughters, and this conversation is full of the kind of wisdom that changes how you show up as a mom, not just what you say to your kids. Kristen has this way of saying the hard thing gently. She talks about the shame so many of us are still carrying from our own childhoods, and how that shapes the way we parent without us even realizing it. If you have ever felt like you are failing at this no matter how much you are doing, listen to her. This one will stay with you. xoxo, Chelsi Jo . . . . .

Throwback to one of my favorite conversations! That "spark" you're chasing? It might not be attraction… it might be a trauma response. I sat down with Dr. Scott Lyons to break down the difference between real, sustainable chemistry and what he calls the "trauma tingle,” that hyper-magnetic pull toward someone that actually has more to do with old wounds than genuine connection. We get into why the honeymoon-phase spark always fades (it's biochemistry, not a sign something's wrong), why "getting the spark back" might be the wrong goal entirely, and how to build the kind of attraction that actually deepens over time instead of burning out. If you've ever wondered whether you're in love or just chasing something familiar, this one's for you.
