How is sustainability tested in ACCA audit exams? How can you best prepare? Expert ACCA audit tutor Ben Wilson gives his study advice

"Perimenopause, menopause, and andropause are such big biochemical shifts that they can affect every system in the body. There's no system left untouched by hormonal changes. o we want to use that as a filter to make sure that we're looking at the big picture." —Dr. Lisa Brent One day your body stops responding the way it used to: sleep slips, moods shift, food doesn't hit the same, and the anxiety that never used to exist suddenly moves in. You start wondering if this is just “getting older,” or if your body's trying to tell you something bigger. That quiet confusion between “I'm fine” and “something's off” is exactly where the story begins. A naturopathic doctor and acupuncturist, Dr. Lisa Brent built Be Well Natural Medicine to help women decode what's happening in their bodies through every hormonal shift, from perimenopause to menopause and beyond. Her work bridges modern medicine with practical, whole-body care, showing that these changes aren't the end of vitality but a recalibration. In this episode, Justine and Dr. Lisa dig into the real markers of perimenopause, how to separate anxiety from hormonal shifts, what supplements actually help, how food and gut health tie in, and why men experience their own “pause” too. Listen in! Meet Lisa:  Dr. Lisa Brent is a licensed naturopathic doctor and acupuncturist specializing in women's health. With a commitment to holistic and patient-centered care, she integrates primary care training with expertise in lifestyle medicine, nutrition, bioidentical hormone therapy, and gut health. Dr. Brent is dedicated to empowering her patients through education, individualized wellness strategies, and compassionate support. She is the founder of Be Well Natural Medicine, hosts educational events such as the Women's Health Symposium, and provides care both in-person and via telehealth.   Website Instagram Facebook   Connect with NextGen Purpose: Website Facebook Instagram LinkedIn YouTube   Episode Highlights: 01:28 ND vs MD: What's the Difference?  05:13 The Preimenopause Shift  08:39 How to Talk to Your Doctor and What to Share  11:48 The Supplement Overload Problem  15:49 Food as Medicine and Why It Changes After 50  19:05 Alcohol and Hormones  24:31 Can Regenerative Farming Heal Us Too?  28:46 The Other Pause: Men Go Through It Too  31:50 Health as a Team Project  36:30 Informed Choice: What's Hype and What's Real

Psalm 82 has been almost universally misunderstood from the time of St. Augustine interpreting it as referring to "human judges." Rabbinic Judaism also abandoned ancient Judaism's original understanding.The notion of God's Divine Council (found in Psalm 82, Psalm 89, Job 1:6-12) proves to be a challenging concept because of our theological "traditions",  but it was NOT a foreign concept in ancient Judaism, and for the earliest Christians.Thankfully, in recent years, many are returning to the original understanding of God's Divine Council, the Apostolic one!This short podcast is my attempt to simplify and explain the Divine Council and why it is critical for our understanding of the Biblical narrative.

Panic sells, but context pays. We break down the latest “shutdown showdown” and strip it to the essentials: what actually stops, what keeps going, and how the market usually behaves when politics hog the headlines. From national parks and TSA lines to passport and IRS delays, we map the real-world annoyances you might feel—then zoom out to the history that shows why short shutdowns rarely leave lasting marks on your portfolio.We walk through the counterintuitive market moves you might see—like Treasuries rallying as investors seek safety—while stocks get choppy and volatility jumps. More importantly, we share a practical investor playbook that replaces guesswork with guardrails: keep a cash buffer for near-term needs, stick to your long-term allocation, automate contributions and rebalancing, and resist the urge to trade on political predictions. Washington's timeline is messy and nonlinear; markets usually price the drama before most people can react, which makes knee-jerk decisions costly.If shutdown headlines have you on edge, you'll leave with clarity and a calmer plan. Hold your ground, focus on what you can control, and let your process do the heavy lifting while the news cycle spins. If this helped steady your nerves, share it with someone who's doomscrolling and needs a reset. Subscribe, leave a quick review, and tell us: what headline tempts you to hit the sell button?

Published on 1 October 2025 and recorded on 24 September 2025. In this episode: 01:10 How are Europe's banks doing? What is going well? What about the challenges banks face, like those coming from geopolitical tensions, digitalisation and the climate crisis? And are we seeing signs of deterioration in banks' asset quality? 04:12 Are the current rules too complex? Are Europe's banks over-regulated? Why does a complex business like banking need sufficiently developed rules? And is there room to make things simpler for both supervisors and banks? 05:34 Does simplification mean deregulation? How do they differ from one another? And how will we put guardrails in place to safeguard the resilience we have worked so hard to build in the banking sector? 08:33 How are we simplifying how we supervise banks? What concrete steps have we taken? How will these change our regular health check for banks and the way we conduct stress tests? 11:22 Who is involved in simplifying supervision? How do we make sure that the right people are involved? And how are banks, banking federations, academics and others involved in the work that's being done? 13:04 What does simplification mean for banks, supervisors and customers? More efficiency, shorter timelines and better use of limited resources? And how can banking union give customers more options when it comes to products and services? 15:53 What about simplifying regulation? Beyond how we supervise banks, what steps are being taken to simplify the rules? What is being done at the European level, and how is our work on supervision feeding into that? 18:22 Our guest's hot tip Sharon shares her hot tip with our listeners.

Episode Summary: Aging is not for the faint of heart. But weight gain, illness, and infirmity do not have to be a way of life in our older years. The Bible has much to say about energy, vitality, healthy living, and aging gracefully. Taking care of our bodies is not selfish: it’s critical. Scripture reminds us that our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit. If we don’t take care of our bodies, they won’t take care of us. What is it we need to know to age well? In honor of Women's Health & Fitness Day, we are thrilled to welcome Shemane Nugent, (wife of Ted Nugent) a fitness instructor with over forty-three years of experience, author of Abundantly Well, and a passionate advocate for aging gracefully. What if you could feel healthier and happier without giving up your favorite foods or spending hours at the gym? In this episode, Shemane will share her favorite tips for staying in shape, feeling energized, and embracing vitality in your forties, fifties, sixties, and beyond. Together, we’ll explore how simple daily choices can ignite passion and purpose, no matter your age. Quotables from the episode: Those things that bring us to our knees, I believe bring us closer to God. And there have been a lot of people who have been through so much worse than I have. When we are, you know, trying to navigate through the storm. You can read every self -help book, and I did, and you can call out to God, and I did, and sometimes it might not happen overnight but it brings us to our knees, I believe bring us closer to God. Regardless of what situation or circumstance you're in, God has a plan for you. I am an unlikely messenger. Being healthy is an inside job. We tend to second guess ourselves. Regardless of where they're at in their life, especially where they're at in their health journey, I want to be your cheerleader. I want to come alongside you and advocate for you because I know it's not easy. I do have 44 years of experience in the health and wellness industry. I've taught just about every Fitness modality from step to spinning. I trained with Johnny G the guy who created spinning to slide to body pump to of course Zumba has been my favorite. I trained and developed programs for Zumba, traveled all around the world, training instructors and teaching probably, I don't know, 100,000 people, 100,000 classes. I mean, just having the time of my life, but that doesn't matter if you don't have joy inside, if you don't find your purpose. The baggage that we all carry with us into adulthood, if you had to put a weight on something that happened to you, when you were a kid, you know, somebody said something terrible to you and you still think about that, think about how much, just put a 10 pounds, 20 pounds, think about carrying that baggage around all the time and what your life would be like if you could just let go of it. As soon as I know that I'm awake, I don't even open my eyes. I say a prayer of gratitude, thanking God for my health and my family's health. That is number one for me. I think it's that first couple of steps that are the hardest. Yes, today was cold. It was dreary. I didn't want to exercise, and I do exercise regularly. But so yesterday, I just made an agreement with myself, just go do it for five minutes. Yes, five minutes. And you know what? 35 minutes later, I was so glad that I attempted the five minutes because it's that getting started. And so, friends, listen to what Shemane is saying. Maybe you just need an accountability partner. Maybe you need to text back and forth and say, okay, I'm going to make myself walk today. Hold me accountable tomorrow. There's something about being accountable that creates that momentum. What role does your faith play in your approach to health and wellness? - It's everything. And especially the last, I would say five years, but 10 probably overall, I've done a deep dive into spiritual warfare, the devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy. What better way than to make you doubt yourself, to destroy your health, your family's health? I do have a chapter in this book about spiritual warfare, and for me, faith is everything. Faith is everything that helps me get through the day. God is with us and He's there with us at a right hand and he will walk us through the storm. And sometimes we think we put too much pressure on ourselves to be perfect. He knows that we're not. And I think he loves it when we admit that, when we repent, and we just move forward. Every day we are so blessed, to have another day to start again, try again. And I want to encourage people to do that as So, not be too hard on yourself. That's a good piece of grace -filled advice. When I talk to patients, when I talk to my audience about self-care, that includes self -compassion. Extending grace to ourselves, it's so much harder sometimes for us to extend grace to ourselves that we would extend to a friend. Plan ahead of time, so that when the time comes, you don’t have any excuses to make poor choices. Aging gracefully incorporates our thought life. If we were gentler and kinder to ourselves. I think we would also be gentler and kinder to others when we're tempted to criticize because we often criticize because we're feeling bad about ourselves. She meant if we would come back to what God says, God says we are fearfully and wonderfully made. God says we are the apple of His eye. God says He delights over us with singing. If that's not reason to celebrate us without the makeup and the fancy hair and the fancy clothes, I don't know what is because God looks at the heart. Any plan to age gracefully has to look at what's going on in our heart and what's going on in our thought life. 46:12. I remember just having a sliver of hope, just a tiny little bit of hope. Sometimes that's all we need to get through the day. Focus on the good things focus on the positive things focus on that that open not just opened door, not an open window, but just maybe the windows cracked a little bit. We've got to really count our blessings and be grateful for those things that we have. I think I learned this from my mother, she was very complimentary towards other people. And when I first see somebody, like my friend the other day, I saw her, I'm like, you look really good. Let's compliment each other. Let's start from a perspective of joy and providing other people.

As a Christian, don't you want to have stronger trust and obedience? It's a journey of faith for sure. And your midlife wellness is a journey too. Think about your last provider appointment. How did it go for you? Did you have more questions than answers? Did you feel heard and seen? Were you given a script for a medication you didn't want but you felt desperate enough to try it? Here's what I know: Wellness is a journey. It's not a linier line. It's ups and downs. Hills and valleys. Good days and really horrible days. Frustrating medical appointments, non answers, dreams deferred or dashed, confusion and overwhelm. And it's also, days of hope, clarity into what your body is telling you, joy in the process, accountability and support along the journey. It's mornings waking refreshed. Evenings with energy to take that walk you keep putting off with your hubby. Friday night activities with the family or friends instead of making an excuse why you can't come. Wellness is a journey. It's not a straight line. Especially in this midlife season. I wish it were but the truth is it's not. And yet, even in the journey…. It can be easier. Doable. Simplified. We just need to lean into what God says in His word.  We all need this word from the Lord today. This is an episode that I encourage you to slow down and lean into… If you are able, settle into a comfortable chair and really let this word wash over you. Then, ask the Lord how this pertains to you specifically in your health journey. I pray this blesses you and strengthens you today!

I had such an inspiring conversation with Lorraine Corcoran, Founder & CEO of Nyrah Beauty.  Her journey into skincare was deeply personal, sparked by her own search for products that truly worked for her sensitive skin.  What began as frustration turned into a passion for formulating clean, effective solutions that honor both the science of skincare and the integrity of natural ingredients. Lorraine's story is a reminder that sometimes the best brands are born from solving problems for ourselves first. What stood out to me was Lorraine's intentionality, whether it's choosing every ingredient with care, building a brand rooted in authenticity, or ensuring that Nyrah Beauty empowers people to feel confident in their own skin. She opens up about the challenges of breaking into the crowded beauty space, the role of education in building trust, and how she stays grounded while scaling a mission-driven brand. Here are a few highlights from the episode: * How personal skincare struggles became the foundation for Nyrah Beauty   * The philosophy of combining science with clean, natural ingredients   * The challenges and opportunities of standing out in a saturated beauty market   * Why education and transparency are central to building customer trust   * Lorraine's vision for the future of Nyrah Beauty   Join me, Ramon Vela, as I listen to the episode and discover how Lorraine is reshaping beauty with purpose, passion, and authenticity.
