Coaching can feel intimidating—not because it's complicated, but because no one really explains what actually happens in a session. In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain on what coaching sessions really look like and why they're far less intimidating than most new coaches imagine. We talk about the fear that comes up when you can't hide behind a screen, why that fear doesn't mean you're unqualified, and how having a simple, repeatable flow can completely change how confident you feel in the room. I also walk you through the three core phases of a coaching session, what your role actually is (and isn't), and how to stay in integrity without overstepping into therapy or advice-giving. If you've been curious about coaching but feel stuck because you don't know what to say, how to lead, or how not to freeze in the moment, then this episode is for you.

Terry Kerr didn't get it right when he first started buying rental properties. In fact, he made just about every mistake you can make. He bought in the wrong areas, took on rehabs himself to “save money,” hired the wrong people, and bought properties that were either too big or too small to work as profitable rentals.Over time, Terry figured out what actually matters. He found the sweet spot for the ideal rental property and built a system around it.On this episode, Terry breaks down what he learned from those early missteps, what he looks for now when buying a rental, where he got the money to get started, and how he financed his purchases along the way.'Terry also believes tenant retention is the real name of the game. He shares exactly how he keeps good tenants long-term, how he prices and positions his rentals, and how he creates a massive pool of applicants whenever he has a vacancy.

The conversation emphasizes the importance of accessibility and comprehension in scripture study. Key Insights The Church’s handbook now states that while members should generally use a preferred or church-published edition of the Bible, other translations may also be used, reflecting a shift towards inclusivity and understanding. Many individuals struggle with the King James Version due to its higher reading level, which can hinder their engagement with the scriptures. Simpler translations can provide clarity and accessibility. Various Bible translations, such as the English Standard Version (ESV) and New International Version (NIV), can help bridge the gap for those who find the King James Version challenging, making the scriptures more relatable and understandable. The discussion highlights the importance of using different translations in teaching settings to enhance comprehension and engagement, particularly for youth and those unfamiliar with the King James Version. Leaders are encouraged to create an inclusive environment in classes where all translations are respected, fostering a space for discussion and learning. Leadership Applications Leaders can promote the use of various Bible translations in their classes to help members better understand scriptural principles, especially for those who may struggle with traditional texts. By being aware of the reading levels of different translations, leaders can guide individuals to resources that suit their comprehension needs, ensuring that everyone can access the teachings of the scriptures. Encouraging open discussions about different translations can help create a welcoming atmosphere in church settings, allowing members to feel comfortable sharing their insights and questions without fear of judgment. 00:02:44 – Guest Introduction: John Hilton III 00:03:26 – Classroom Applications of Bible Translations 00:04:08 – John Hilton’s Projects with Scripture Central 00:04:50 – Changes in Church Handbook Regarding Bible Translations 00:08:34 – Discussion on Handbook Changes 00:14:33 – Historical Context of Bible Translations 00:19:07 – Addressing Concerns About Modern Translations 00:21:18 – Recommendations for Bible Translations 00:24:31 – Using Different Translations for Comprehension 00:26:04 – Importance of Accessible Translations for Youth 00:28:01 – Anticipating Classroom Dynamics with Various Translations 00:30:21 – Creating a Respectful Classroom Environment 00:32:51 – Teaching Strategies for Engaging with Scriptures 00:41:18 – The Role of Listening to Scripture 00:44:10 – Speculation on Future Translations of Church Scriptures 00:47:44 – Encouraging Leaders to Support Comprehension in Others The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints’ mission to help Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.

Your off-season choices today determine your race day results tomorrow.Most runners get the transition season completely wrong—they either hammer through on their way to burnout or disappear entirely and spend January rebuilding from scratch. In this episode, we break down what actually works for year-over-year improvement.We cover why taking zero time off after race season is a recipe for injury and plateau, the science of post-race recovery (CNS fatigue, hormonal reset, glycogen restoration), and why detraining fears are almost always overblown. We play Hot or Not with common off-season approaches so you know what to keep and what to ditch, discuss frequency goals vs. volume goals and why the switch changes everything, and talk about building accountability systems that don't rely on motivation.The bottom line: rest is part of training—make this a core belief in 2026. You can cut volume in half for 4-6 weeks and only lose 5-10% fitness. Simpler plans are more likely to be followed. And your January determines your July.Before spring hits, take 2-4 weeks of intentional rest after your last A-race, complete a full season assessment to identify 2-3 specific pain points, set frequency goals for transition season, build at least one accountability system into your training, and schedule monthly low-key events to stay engaged.Connect with us:Email: microcosm.coaching@gmail.comWebsite: microcosm-coaching.com

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals! Here's an xmas gift for y'all. Something from the premium vaults. This one is on the dumb Balenciaga outrage that happened back in the day when Q-Anon was a fringe thing and not a normal part of mainstream politics. Simpler times, somehow. Published 8th December 2022.Enjoy! ----------We were going to do this one on main but honestly heaps of shit has happened so let's swing this one to the patrons! We look at the absurdity of the Balenciaga scandal. I mean, they're not wrong - it's kinda fucked up. But are the right taking cancel culture as their own? Where's the line between art and fashion and which gulag should we throw them all into?The book burning right show their true colours with this one - but why do rich dickheads spend insane money commoditising children?!? Fuck knows...
In this episode, Dr. Mohsin Ali joins us to discuss his recent study on a simpler and highly effective way to clinically diagnose posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) using slit-lamp visualization of the posterior hyaloid membrane. The study compared this technique to the traditional Weiss ring method and OCT confirmation, finding that slit-lamp assessment of the posterior hyaloid was more sensitive, had a higher negative predictive value, and performed comparably in specificity — without requiring special lenses or imaging. Dr. Ali explains how the technique works, why it matters for everyday practice, and how it can improve decision-making around retinal tears, detachments, and vitreoretinal surgery — making a strong case that this should become a core diagnostic skill for all ophthalmologists. The instructional slit-lamp PVD video referenced in this episode is available as supplemental material with the original Ophthalmology Retina publication.

Marketing can feel like a mystery sometimes… especially when you're trying to figure out what actually works versus what just burns time.This week, I'm resharing a conversation I had with Kim Box on The Motherhood Anthology Podcast where we talked about one of my favorite topics… marketing that actually moves the needle.We got into the difference between marketing tactics and marketing systems, how to balance consistency with creativity, and how to make your marketing feel more like flow and less like force. I also shared a new metaphor for planning your strategy that I call the marketing windmill… a simple framework for building a marketing plan that's balanced, sustainable, and actually enjoyable.And because I can't talk about marketing without bringing up AI, we also explored how photographers can use tools like Custom GPTs to create authentic content faster and easier.If you've been rethinking how to show up in your business and want your marketing to feel lighter, smarter, and a whole lot more sustainable, this one's for you.LINKS:Learn more about the Consistency Club and our AI powered blog builder.Follow along on Instagram: @thiscantbethathardResources: New to the podcast?

Ilya Ponomarev is a Russian-Ukrainian politician who was a member of the Russian State Duma from 2007 to 2016. After the 2022 Russian invasion, Ponomarev joined Ukraine's Territorial Defence Forces, and categorically denounced the invasion. While a member of the Russian State Duma, he was the only deputy not to vote in favour of the Russian gay propaganda law and to vote against Russia's annexation of Crimea in March 2014. He is now in exile in Ukraine and is a spokesman with insurgent Russian forces (National Republican Army) fighting on the side of Ukraine. ----------LINKS:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilya_Ponomarev https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002113qhttps://www.fpri.org/contributor/ilya-ponomarev/BOOKS:Does Putin Have to Die?

Heritage craft scales on design and strategy, not good intentions. Ruth Álvarez-DeGolia, founder of Mercado Global, and Emmy-winning filmmaker Fabiola Bercasa Beckman share how Guatemalan handwoven textiles become modern handbags that compete at Free People and Holt Renfrew. From labor hours to in-country design, they show how simplifying silhouettes increases artisan wages and perceived value, while embedding impact into the product—not a hangtag. This is a blueprint for ethical, beautiful accessories that customers want and that provide real income for the women who make them.✨ 3 Takeaways• Ethical fashion must compete on design and price — Impact only works if the product stands on its own at retail. • Simpler designs can pay artisans more — Fewer cuts and smarter layouts often increase hourly wages and margins. • Impact should be built into the product — Visible craftsmanship beats vague claims and one-for-one models every time.

Hey Friend, If food has felt confusing or heavy lately, this week's podcast episode was created just for you. So many women have been taught that balancing blood sugar means counting, tracking, restricting, or starting over again. But that kind of pressure only creates more stress… and stress is one of the biggest disruptors of hormones and energy. In this short episode of Functional Medicine for Christian Women, I'm sharing a simple, freeing approach to blood sugar balance that doesn't involve counting macros, calories, or following another rigid plan. Inside the episode, we talk about: • What blood sugar balance really is (and what it's not) • Why diet culture makes this harder than it needs to be • A simple framework for eating that supports hormones and energy • How nourishment creates safety for your body instead of stress And to support you even more, I've also created a free, printable tool you can start using right away: • A 1-page blood sugar guide You can find both inside my Holistic Health Hub, which is completely free and filled with functional medicine tools for women and children. Friend, you don't need more rules around food. You need rhythms that support your body and bring peace back to the table. In grace + health, Lacy Lain Before you go…

Growth doesn't happen because you “do more.”It happens because you stop, look back, and adjust with intention.Every year, we run a full Year-In-Review, long before January. We look at what worked, what didn't, and what absolutely needs to change. And the businesses that grow the fastest? They're doing the same thing.Here's what 2025 taught us:Wins:• The Expert Content Society became a true growth engine (275 members and growing), members are posting consistently, creating better content, and seeing real results.• Partnerships and affiliates drove major momentum.• LinkedIn trends were clear: short-form video, newsletters, and carousels remain top performers.• Clients scaled fast, some so much that they had to expand their teams.Challenges:• Funnels need clarity, not complexity.• Over-delivering features inside our community actually hurts engagement.• Operations need to be tightened to remove friction.Surprises:• Buyers expect personalization, clarity, and fast communication.• Trust is everything; testimonials, recommendations, and proof matter more than ever.• Power partnerships on LinkedIn are one of the biggest untapped opportunities.Our 2026 focus?One word: Optimization.Simpler systems. Cleaner messaging. Better processes. More execution. No unnecessary complexity.And now it's your turn.Before you plan 2026, ask these three questions:Red: What needs to stop?Yellow: What needs improvement?Green: What deserves more of your focus?

Sarah Goodyear, Doug Gordon and Aaron Naparstek realized that no one was discussing the many cultural factors that have played a role in humanity's car dependency, or the negative impacts this reliance on motor vehicles has on human health and the planet. So they started their own show to do exactly that, The War on Cars. Gordon joins Mongabay's podcast to discuss just how human society got here — and how we might get ourselves out of it — which is also the subject of a new book he co-authored with Goodyear and Naparstek, Life After Cars: Freeing Ourselves from the Tyranny of the Automobile. "We felt that nobody was really covering the car as this overwhelming determinative force in the life of you as an individual, the life of society and nature, politics, culture, everything," he says. Take a minute to let us know what you think of our audio reporting, which you can do here. The Mongabay Newscast is available on major podcast platforms, including Apple and Spotify, and all previous episodes are accessible at our website's podcast page. Mike DiGirolamo is a host & associate producer for Mongabay based in Sydney. He co-hosts and edits the Mongabay Newscast. Find him on LinkedIn and Bluesky.

In this interview, Jen shares the mic with her dear friend, Annijke Wade. They dig deep into Annijke's mission to advocate for others in the mountain biking community. Annijke shares her evolution as a mountain biker over the years, how she's embraced life as an adaptive cyclist through her strong mindset, and her plans to inspire and elevate others through her mission and work. Representation matters, friends - and we need a strong voice and spirit to help push for greater representation in all facets of the cycling (and other outdoor sports) world.

William Occam was a 14th century philosopher and theologian. He developed a principle which came to be known as Occam's Razor. It held that when there are multiple solutions to a problem, the simplest one is usually the best one.This week, the FAIRtax Guys examine the income tax and the FAIRtax side by side to see which one gets a better grade on the simplicity test.

David Waldman brings us a Throwback Tuesday KITM in which we explore the things that we did not throw back hard enough. There was a time when bigotry, dishonesty, inhumanity, and megalomaniacal cruelty had a craft to it. There was a sense of pride and effort in underhanded Machiavellian scheming that you just can't find anymore. We'll probably never see a Dick like Cheney again. Donald K. Trump destroys thousands of lives, the graft just rolls in, while he hardly lifts a finger. Trump wants to abolish the filibuster because he could then avoid the effort of circumventing it. Remember when David recommended filibuster reform? Back then we were all into affordable health care concerns, gun deaths and such. Simpler times. Turns out that all the lead poisoning didn't keep them from voting Trump in, let's hope the concussive blast waves help in the midterms. Let's revisit those years between Trump terms during which the SOB did not go to jail. If it was anybody else, he'd be there today. We are all left to scratch our heads, connecting the dots, following the money, wondering how it all went wrong.

Feeling knee pain on the bike (or in life)? You're not alone, and it doesn't have to be your norm. In this episode of Making Shift Happen, Jen breaks down why knees hurt (even when your bike fit is fine), why isometric strength training (like wall-sits) is a powerful tool, and how supporting hips and ankles will give your knees the backup they deserve. You'll learn: Why knee pain shows up for cyclists and what real causes are (it's not just your saddle height) How isometric wall-sits and other iso exercises reduce knee/tendon pain and build resilience (evidence included) How to structure your off-season strength and mobility plan for pain-free knees next season Why the upcoming #ShredStrong program (starts Nov 3rd - details below!) is the best way to build the strength system your knees demand Check out these other relevant episodes: This episode also includes the link for the free PDF on bike fit: 219.

On today's episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I'm joined by Rose McKenzie, fertility awareness educator and clinician trainer at Mira, to explore a simpler, smarter way to track your cycle, without the stress of daily temperature checks. We dive into how continuous hormone monitoring can reveal what's really happening in your body each month, why a single lab test can miss crucial shifts in your hormones, and how lifestyle factors like sleep, stress, and nutrition affect ovulation. Rose breaks down the science behind Mira's lab-grade hormone tracking technology and shares how it's helping women and practitioners move beyond guesswork to truly understand their cycles. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by charting, or you're ready to move past "BBT burnout," this conversation will help you see your hormones in a whole new way. Key Takeaways: Tired of charting every morning? Discover a stress-free way to confirm ovulation. Learn why LH strips only tell part of the story, and what you're really missing. See how Mira's lab-grade tech brings clarity to hormone tracking from home. Find out how stress, sleep, and nutrition can delay or disrupt ovulation. Learn why continuous data gives a clearer picture than one-time lab tests. Understand how your insulin sensitivity shifts across your cycle (and how that affects cravings). Get empowered to interpret your hormone data and take control of your fertility journey. Sponsored by MIRA; opinions are our own. Guest Bio: As the Clinical Manager at Mira, Rose assists healthcare professionals and providers to successfully use Mira with their patients. Through webinars, case reports, and one-on-one assistance she educates providers to effectively and confidently implement hormone monitoring in their practices. With over 10 years of experience as a natural family planning instructor trained in the Marquette Method and Sympto-Thermal Method, Rose has extensive experience assisting women using the Mira monitor for hormone monitoring and health promotion including women tracking their hormones in regular cycles, irregular cycles, postpartum amenorrhea, chemo-induced menopause, and perimenopause.

Hello Friend! Welcome back to claiming simplicity. If you are new here, welcome! I so glad to have you here! I often hear moms complain about not spending enough time with their kids or missing kids' events because of work, but then don't do anything to change their situation. A good indication of what is important to you is what you spend money on. You might say Jesus and family first, but your checkbook might say otherwise. Another way to look at it is where are you spending your time. If you spent most evenings in the gym, I would say sports are important to you, or if you spend alot of time on your phone, it may look like social media is important to you. Sometimes the values don't truely line up, so I just want to give you a few tidbits to help you live out your values so when the guilt of not spending time with your kids, you know where you can start to change that. So grab a pen and paper and lets get to work. If you are driving, make sure to come back to this, because this can change the direction of your life as it did mine! First, you need to make a list of what are your true priorities because if you are saying this is important, but your pocketbook and time are not confirming that, there will be friction and you won't feel aligned and something will always feel off. Once you have your true priorities and most important values written down, now I want you to go to your calendar and bank account and see where exactly your time and money is going. This is so very important and very eye opening for many that I work with. For example, if you want a simpler life, but your calendar is always full, there will be friction and you may feel a little anxious, so the 3rd step is to figure out a way to get there. With this example, maybe it is less time shopping or this may even be spending all your time at sports events when you can say no to live simpler if this is a top priority. There are so many options, but in order to live this life of simplicity, you have to get good at saying no and making sure that you are saying yes to the right items that line up with your values. When your life is coming to an end, will you be proud and peaceful about how you lived it or will you be stressed and worn out until the end? I hope you will have peace living a simpler life that you are able to create. It is simple to do, but you do have to take the steps to get there. Blessings!

“There are so many blessings in the in-between,” says Jessica Gill, chief content officer at To Be Magnetic and cohost of the Expanded podcast with Lacy Phillips. “You can manifest amazing mini manifestations or just kismet opportunities or these things that you wouldn't even believe would transpire in the midst of doing this work.” Today, Gill breaks down the deeply intuitive—and simple, but not easy—manifestation process that is the core of To Be Magnetic and the new book How to Manifest. This has changed the way I think about manifestation, the purpose of it, and the potential it has to help us outgrow old dynamics and evolve with new ones.
