Cabbage is the ultimate cruiser vegetable with endless options. Here are 10 ways Nica uses cabbage on board. Summary Cabbage is a perfect vegetable for cruising. It stores well, is nutritious, and can be used in so many different ways. You can eat it both raw and cooked. Long after other vegetables have been eaten or spoiled, cabbage is still good. So what are some of those amazing options? You can add it to a stew or casserole for more fiber. It fills out a stir-fry when other vegetables are in short supply. Cabbage is delicious in slaw, both with mayonnaise and a vinaigrette dressing. Of course, kimchi and saurkraut are delicious options. And you can roast it in your oven or on the grill. So how do you make the most of it while cruising? First, don't cut into the head. Take individual leaves off, leaving the solid core. Second, store it in a cool, dark place. There's no need to refrigerate it. Third, if it starts to rot (and you'll smell it, if it does), just cut off the bad part and continue to use the rest. For more suggestions on how to use cabbage while cruising, listen to the full podcast or read the transcript on The Boat Galley website.

Send us a textThis episode is a gentle reminder of the power of slowing down. In a world that constantly pushes us to move faster and do more, taking time to pause and savor the present moment can bring peace, clarity, and balance. By choosing presence over rushing, we not only reduce stress but also create space to fully experience life as it happens.

Gene Marks describes a mixed economic picture, noting that a national "slowdown" isn't universally felt, with many small businesses thriving. He highlights challenges like rising healthcare costs, spurring interest in self-insurance and health reimbursement arrangements. Marks discusses AI's impact on the workforce, specifically reducing sales and tech roles in large companies like Salesforce, but predicts a surge in demand for skilled trades not easily replaced by AI. 1920 ROOSEVELT AND COX

Jim McTague reports from Lancaster County, PA, challenging the narrative of an economic slowdown. He shares examples of busy local businesses like "Phil the painter" who has never been busier. McTague observes a trend of housing price cuts, but notes vibrant local tourism and events. He highlights the significant economic boost from two new data centers, creating 600-1000 construction jobs and 150 permanent positions, bringing the county into the 21st century. 1910 BRADDOCK
Hour 2 in full
PREVIEW: Jim McTague, former Washington editor of Barron's and now a Lancaster novelist, investigates signs of an economic slowdown. Despite national press reports, he hasn't found significant evidence locally. Interviewing "Phil the painter," McTague learned his workload remained consistently busy for five years. While some Lancaster business segments experience moderated foot traffic, potentially seasonal, the only clear slowdown sign McTague observes is in housing, where prices are being cut for the first time since 2021, suggesting a localized or nascent shift. 1913 GETTYSBURGH REUNION.
Today's poem is The Happy Middle by Hedgie Choi. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “Today's poem walloped me with its authentic intelligence. Even in her grief, this poem's speaker envisions her situation from a different perspective. This poem imagines so artfully, I think you'll want to revisit it a second time, and then a third.

Is there such a thing as coincidence? Recently I read an essay by Henrik Karllson, in his Substack page Escaping Flatland, titled “Almost Anything You Give Sustained Attention to Will Begin To Loop on Itself and Bloom”, and I was especially struck by his comment that "Art is guided meditation". This was, to me, a new way of thinking about paying attention and slowing down, of being in the moment. It rang true. This coincided with working on this episode, and listening to Andrew Duhon's song “Slow Down”, which features the lyrics “We've got to slow down/ All we'll ever have it right here right now/ Right here right now/ I think we need to slow down/ Our eyes on the horizon line/ All these years/ It's the things we keep our eyes on/ Seem to be the things that disappear when we get there”. Coincidence? I say that has to be a long shot. Slowing down can be helpful in a lot of situations, creative endeavors especially. Do you ever find yourself in a spot where you wish you could simply jump to the finish line, like in a project, or even with cooking dinner? I feel that way a lot when starting work on the scripts for Southern Songs and Stories episodes. The blank page is always the hardest part — just those first paragraphs can take up the better part of a day sometimes. You have heard the phrase “like pulling teeth”, I bet. The creative process can feel that way, at times: a painful slog, with no guarantees of any gain, that makes you question why you put yourself through it. Slowing down is key to making something worthwhile, whether that brings material gain or simply self satisfaction with a job well done. With patience, with letting things come to you, with sitting still and actively listening for the muse, good things can happen. There is no way to reap the rewards without paying the cost, and part of the bargain is giving something of yourself, something that might be as hard as pulling teeth. I hope you can slow down with us, and enjoy this episode on Andrew Duhon. Here, he expounds on his music and his band, while he also touches on religion, politics, and a lot more, including the hardest song that he has ever written, why he does not have a place to call home in New Orleans currently, and his own eye-catching chapeau, a vintage baseball cap that says “Cuban Boatlift 1980”. All that and more, including more of Andrew's music, especially from his recent appearance at The Albino Skunk Music Festival in Greer, SC, awaits you in this episode.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics says the U.S. job market is much weaker than initially reported. More than 900,000 fewer jobs were added in 2024 and 2025 than previously reported. The BLS issues revisions every year, but this change is the biggest on record and comes after President Trump fired the BLS commissioner after a weak monthly jobs report.

While parents network and explore the latest innovations on the show floor, children enjoy supervised activities like the Little Towers Beach Party and Movie Night. The Great Wolf Lodge's water park adds another dimension of fun that keeps families returning year after year.The event honors those lost in the line of duty through a moving Celebration of Life ceremony, complete with a Slow Down, Move Over awareness parade and candlelight vigil. This solemn reminder of the dangers towers face daily underscores the importance of industry advocacy and safety initiatives.From hazmat training with Perry Beatty to specialized seminars throughout the weekend, the educational opportunities provide immediate value to attendees. Evening events like the spectacular truck Light Show, Texas Hold'em tournament, and Saturday night karaoke create the perfect atmosphere for building the relationships that form the backbone of this tight-knit community.With September 25-27 quickly approaching and rooms at the Great Wolf Lodge filling fast, now's the time to secure your place at this industry cornerstone.

You know when you feel like you're constantly going through the motions between work, family, and endless responsibilities—but inside, everything feels flat? That's the reality of high-functioning depression. In this episode, I'm joined by the talented psychiatrist, author, and nationally recognized expert in women's mental health, Dr. Judith Joseph, to unpack what high-functioning depression really is. We dive into the secret signs of high-functioning depression, especially in midlife, and why it often goes unnoticed in women who seem to have it all together. Dr. Joseph shares powerful strategies and practical tools to help you move from surviving to truly thriving. We also discuss how to recognize when a loved one might be struggling behind the mask of success—and how to offer meaningful support. If you feel emotionally drained despite keeping it all together on the outside, this episode will give you the clarity you need for more happiness in your life. Dr. Judith Joseph, MD MBA Dr. Judith Joseph is a psychiatrist, researcher, award-winning content creator, and author of the National Bestselling book “High Functioning, Overcome Your Hidden Depression and Reclaim Your Joy”. Dr. Judith was named as a 2024 Black Health Hero by PopSugar Inc. She was also named a 2024 VeryWell Mind Top 25 Mental Health Thought Leader and a 2024 NAACP Top 6 Mental Health Champion. IN THIS EPISODE Warning signs for high-functioning depression in midlife Understanding the science of happiness Most common symptoms of high-functioning depression Why many high-functioning people have trouble slowing down The difference between happiness and joy Strategies for navigating high-functioning depression How to support a loved one with high-functioning depression QUOTES “People who go through perimenopause and menopause often mask how they feel just to show up for the job and for others. So they often have this underlying high-functioning depression that is made worse [from] hormonal fluctuations.” “Gratitude practices are really helpful in staving off high-functioning depression or sustaining your joy. It's hard to be grateful when you don't know what brings you joy.” “Don't give up. You may feel hopeless, but know that there's always something you have not tried. There's always hope.

What happens when your growing business starts demanding more than your body can give?In this episode of Business with Chronic Illness, I'm joined by Stephanie DiPisa, founder of Solara Suncare, mom of three, and Chronic Lyme advocate, to talk about the hard but necessary truth: sometimes the best thing for your business is doing less, not more.Stephanie opens up about launching her first business at 40 with no beauty industry experience, building Solara into a successful brand sold everywhere from Target to Neiman Marcus, and how her journey with chronic Lyme disease taught her to recognize when it's time to intentionally slow down. She shares why she had to pause her business completely for a year, how that break actually made her products better, and the warning signs that tell her it's time to "turn down the faucet" on growth.By the end of this episode, you'll walk away with:Why forced health breaks can actually strengthen your business and improve your offerings in unexpected ways.How to recognize when you're slipping into unsustainable patterns before you reach a complete breaking point.How shifting away from "catching up" fear and toward intentional choices that prioritize long-term sustainability over short-term gains.Stephanie's story is a reminder that building a successful business with chronic illness isn't about pushing harder; it's about listening to your body's wisdom and creating something that can thrive even when you need to rest.Companies mentioned in this episode: Global Lyme Alliance Project Lyme Ali Moresco Tick Chicks Leave us a Review and share this episode with a friend.Send Me A Text & Share Your QA's or ThoughtsJoin The 5-Day Audio Series - Rooted Sales Loved this episode?

Jim Welsh, author of “Macro Tides” and the “Weekly Technical Review,” says he thinks the stock market "is reaching an inflection point," saying that the next time the Standard & Poor's 500 makes new records but without support from the highs in the advance-decline line, he will take it as a sign that the stock market is about to roll over. Welsh says that several momentum indicators suggest a short-term decline could be between 3 and 7%, at which point he expects a bounce-back that lasts only until the economic concerns take hold. Welsh says a rise in layoffs would show that the market has gone from mild slowing to something more active, If job growth slows markedly "and we get to a point where the economy starts to meaningfully slow down, that is going to be the trigger for a much deeper and more prolonged decline." That drop, he says, could fulfill a 17-year cycle which would drop the S&P 500 by thousands of points. Rob Thummel, senior portfolio manager at Tortoise Capital, says that this is "the best time I have ever seen" in a three-decade career to be investing in energy. Thummel, who manages Tortoise Energy Infrastructure, notes that the U.S. has grown into the largest energy producer and energy exporter in the world; coupled with emerging energy needs caused by the expansion of artificial intelligence, it will drive demand growth "for decades to come." Chuck Carlson, chief executive officer at Horizon Investment Services — which publishes the "Best Dividend and Income Investments" newsletter — brings the proprietary Quadrix system and its multi-factor evaluation process to the Money Life Market Call. Plus Allison Hadley discusses a PartnerCentric.com survey which showed that more than 40% of Americans say they're actively reducing social media use in 2025, with nearly 20 percent having already quit at least one app this year as they try to take more control of their personal lives.

TranscriptI'm Maggie Smith and this is The Slowdown. One of my favorite things about words is their history. As a writer, I'm curious about the words I choose for my poems. When I look up the origin of a word, it's like unfolding a map, and seeing the journey that word has taken to reach me. Suddenly I know it better. It feels special to me, like a friend. Let's take the word migrant, for example—a word I've used in a poem. Migrant comes from the Latin migrans, meaning "changing place." So a migrant is one who moves from place to place. The adjective migratory is related to migrant. As in migratory birds. The verb migrate is related, too. On any given day, reading or watching or listening to the news, I'm confronted with divisive arguments about where people belong. All over the world, there are violent conflicts over land: invasions and occupations. In the US, there is so much talk about our borders, and about immigrants, and particularly alarming lately, talk about citizenship. Many of those arguments seem so focused on difference that they ignore our common humanity. The words we use matter. The language we choose can strip a person's dignity from them, or restore that dignity. When undocumented immigrants are called “illegals,” or “illegal aliens,” those words carry meaning. They also carry a heavy negative connotation. Those terms are dehumanizing, and I think that's the point. I've been listening to the words being used for immigrants, for refugees, and for asylum-seekers in this country, and I have been watching their mistreatment. I have friends who work at elementary schools, and who are afraid that ICE will come and take their students, or their students' parents. From SCHOOL. I have friends who are afraid for their loved ones, their neighbors, their coworkers. This country does not feel like a place of freedom and possibility for those seeking a better life. It feels like an increasingly hostile place.Today's poem looks at the word migrant and its meaning apart from the current political climate. Movement from place to place, after all, suggests possibility, opportunity, and AGENCY. To migrate, whether you can fly or not, is to be free./'mīgrent/ by Tiana NobileOf an animal, especially a bird. A wandering specieswhom no seas nor places limit. A seed who survives despitethe depths of hard winter. The ripple of a herring steering her band from seas of ice to warmer strands. To find the usual watering-places despite the gauzeof death that shrouds our eyesis a breathtaking feat. Do you ever wonder whywe felt like happy birds brushing our featherson the tips of leaves? How we lifted our toesfrom one bank of sand and landed—fingertips first—on another? Why we clutched the dumb and tiny creaturesof flower and blade and sod between our budding fists?From an origin of buried seeds emergethese many-banded dagger wings.We, of the sky, the dirt, and the sea. We,the seven-league-booters and the little-by-littlers.We, transmigrated souls, will prevail.We will carry ourselves into the realms of light.“/'mīgrent/” by Tiana Nobile from CLEAVE © 2021 Tiana Nobile.

Today's poem is And Then It Was Less Bleak Because We Said So by Wendy Xu. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “When the world is on fire, it can feel frivolous to go dancing, to go to concerts, to host parties, to take vacations. Today's poem so beautifully addresses the importance of holding onto joy—and onto one another—when the world feels dismal.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.
