Today's poem is Hunger by Kelli Russell Agodon.Last spring, we asked our community to submit poems that have helped you slow down in your lives. This week we're revisiting these selections. Today's selection was submitted by Jeannine from Washington. In this episode, Major writes… “What is it about this stage of dating that has us turn off the radar, render us blind to the red flags, to what we hope our instincts should catch? We become wild in our desperation to present ourselves as worthy of love. Our passionate hearts render us prey to the lost souls who present facades of well-being.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

Today's poem is Separation Wall by Naomi Shihab Nye.Last spring, we asked our community to submit poems that have helped you slow down in your lives. This week we're revisiting these selections. Today's selection was submitted by Meital from Washington, D.C. In this episode, Major writes… “Coexistence on the planet demands that we transcend reactionary treatment of each other. For this reason, we need poems to tease out our innocence, that part of us untouched by the callousness of the world, to bring us to a sanity beyond inherited hurts and old fears, away from the logic of ‘an eye for an eye.' Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said that this kind of violence ‘destroys communities and makes humanity impossible. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers.'” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

Differently: Assume the risk of creating an extra-ordinary life
Send Carla a message!What if rushing through life is actually slowing us down? What if the narrative of faster always means better, more productive, and more successful isn't working?The constant urgency we feel has become so normalized that we barely notice it anymore – it's become the air we breathe. When we're moving at such a fast pace we often fabricate unnecessary stress without realizing it: sitting on the edge of our seats, stomachs clenched, constantly watching the clock. This creates a persistent low-grade stress that chips away at our well-being and productivity.Let's talk about how small moments of intentional pausing - can dramatically change outcomes and experiences.Remember: leading your life begins with leading yourself, and sometimes we need to slow down to speed up.Learn more about Carla:Website: https:/www.carlareeves.com/Connect on LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/reevescarla/Connect on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@differentlythepodcastGo to https://carlareeves.com/freeclass to get The Class schedule, sign up, and/or pass it on to a friend.

Drawing from Psalm 23:5 and powerful biblical and modern illustrations, he exposes the danger of “running on empty” in life and ministry.From the tragic plane crash of a seasoned pilot to the foolish virgins who had no oil when the bridegroom arrived, this message is a wake-up call: It's not enough to look okay on the outside—your tank must be full on the inside.Learn: • Why spiritual burnout is often mistaken for normal ministry life. • The signs that you're ministering without the power of the Holy Spirit. • How God prepares a feast in the middle of your fiercest battle. • Why daily renewal is not optional in the last days. • And how to step into God's overflow and receive supernatural refreshing.

Are you in the season of pushing through or creating more spaciousness and moments of doing nothing?It's definitely not a one size fits all approach or answer of what's the right way.What are you needing and craving most this moment, today, this month or this season you're in?There are a ton of experts doubling down on one or the other, but the truth is, it's so individual and it varies.What is your body, heart and soul longing for right now? Have you checked in with the most important authority aka yourself?If not, I invite you to take a moment right now -how do you feel, what do you need, what season are you in?There are times where we can flow from slow to fast throughout the day easily and naturally, it doesn't have to be all or nothing or one or the other. Sometimes getting a to do done and off your physical and mental list, and creates more space and freedom and ease a few moments later.I believe it's really important for us to create moments of spaciousness in our days, it could be in the mornings, evenings or whatever works best for you. Slower mornings have felt really good and supportive to me this summer.I'm also a big believer in needing to slow down, especially for introverts.Introverts naturally need more rest, slowing down and recharging.

Dr Michael Lange and Roger P Schulman hosted the longest running live medical talk show called "ask the dr" today on July 5th, 2025. Topic today was, can specific nutrients help reverse dementia & slow down age-related muscle loss called sarcopenia? They started off discussing protective eye wear for everyone. They also discussed how important an eye exam is before kids start back to school. Dr Lange goes into details what is behind his philosophy of Fortifeye Vitamins and why he started the Fortifeye Vitamin company. Fortifeye Vitamin company is evidence biased fully transparent vitamin company based on "the right ingredients, right science, right for you" philosophy. Dr Lange discussed what makes the Fortifeye Vitamin company so different form the competition. He did also discuss with Roger Schulman how he reversed his mother's dementia. Dr Lange has his mother on a modified ketogenic diet called The Lange Survival Diet. He also has her taking Fortifeye Fit Pro, Fortifeye Focus and Brain, Fortifeye Super Omega and a few other supplements. He feels that is is a combination of diet, exercise, sleep, hydration, socializing and specific Fotifeye supplements that have helped to reverse her dementia at 97. He really feels the Fortifeye Focus and Brain is responsible for her cognitive improvement. Fortifeye Focus and Brain is the exact same formula as Fortifeye Focus with the addition of a patented trademarked form of citicoline called Cognizin. There is a lot of clinical evidence that Cognizin can help to support a healthy brain and improve working memory. Nutrition for Dementia is becoming a huge topic at conferences. Dr Lange and Roger discussed what they ate for breakfast this am and how important protein is in everyone's diet. They also discussed the importance of taking some time off to relax. Dr Lange stated he had to run two tapes for the "ask the dr" medical talks shows over the last 2 weeks because he was at the Lumenis conference learning the latest with Opti Light and Opti Lift technology to help his patients with dry eyes. The Lange Eye Institute in The Villages Florida is the only dry eye center in the Villages that has Opti Light IPL and Opti Lift both made by Lumenis. This is one of the reasons the Lange Eye Institute is considered one of the top Dry Eye centers in the Villages and Florida. Dr Michael Lange is an expert using the Opti Light and Optilift to help his dry eye patients. Dr Lange also discussed how Fortifeye Vitamins is one the sponsors of the ISSN sports nutrition conference this year in Delray Fl. The sports nutrition conference focused on specific ingredients like: Creapure Creatine, Astareal Astaxanthin, MyHMB, Collagen Tripeptides and peptides and Whey Protein, Omega 3 and much more. Fortifeye FIt Pro has all of the ingredients the conference focused on. Roger and Dr Lange commented on how much better their workouts are when taking Fortifeye Fit Pro. During the show Dr Lange stated they will run a 50% discount on Cartier, Guci, St Laurant and Mont Blanc frames for two weeks. Dr Lange also stated recently "ask the dr" was ranked at#3 place in medical talk shows only to be beat by Dr Phill and The Doctors. The Dr show, "ASK THE DOCTOR" also ranked # 5 and # 3 respectively in top medical pod casts and top eye care podcasts. "Ask the Dr" syndicated doctor hosted live talk show is the longest running medical talk show in the country for over 32 years. Both discussed the power of the carotenoids in Fortifeye Focus and how important it is at helping to protect the eyes and skin form the uv and blue light. Roger asked Dr Lange "what is the number 1 thing you can do to promote wellness"? Dr Lange replied in some detail how important weight management is. He recommended people look over the Fortifeye Healthy Weight loss bundle on the Fortifeye.com site. He also mentioned his meal replacement supplement is almost complete called Fortifeye Fit Meal. Dr Lange announced they will be carrying a new low vision device called Eyedaptics at the Lange Eye Institute in the villages. This is the most advanced low vision technology on the market and anyone vision impaired or even blind may benefit from this technology. Looking for dry eye experts in The Villages then come to the Lange Eye Institute. #dementia, #nutrtionfordementia #reversedementia #Langesurvivaldiet #Lumenis #optilight #optilift #fortifeyefitpro #askthedoctor #askthedr #podcast #dietplan #dementiatreatment #dementiacare #dementiaprevention #longestrunningtalkshowisaskthedr #dryeyerelief #fortifeyevitamins #preworkoutfuel #postworkoutfuel #eyedaptics #dryeyeexpertsinthevillages #drmichaellange #rogerschulman #weightmanagementSupport the show: https://www.drmichaellange.com/category/ask-the-doctor/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As a mom, navigating the end of the school year and the start of summer, I'm sharing my insights on how we can avoid burnout and truly enjoy this season. In this episode,, I dive deep into the importance of slowing down and giving ourselves and our kids a much-needed break. Summer isn't about constant activity, but about rest, connection, and healing. I challenge moms to let go of the pressure to create perfect memories and instead embrace unstructured time, boredom, and spontaneity. By normalizing mess, creating buffer zones in our day, and speaking kindly to ourselves, we can teach our children (and ourselves) how to regulate our nervous systems. The key is to listen to our bodies, allow for flexibility, and remember that presence matters more than perfection. This episode is a soul challenge to let summer be messy, real, and wonderfully imperfect. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
The U.S. housing market appears to be stuck. Our co-heads of Securitized Product research, Jay Bacow and James Egan, explain how supply and demand, as well as mortgage rates, play a role in the cooling market.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----James Egan: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Jim Egan, co-head of Securitized Products Research at Morgan Stanley.Jay Bacow: And I'm Jay Bacow, the other co-head of Securitized Products Research at Morgan Stanley. And after getting through last week's blistering hot temperatures, today we're going to talk about what may be a cooling housing market. It's Monday, June 30th at 2:30pm in New York. Now, Jim, home prices. We just got another index. They set another record high, but the pace of growth – the acceleration as a physicist in me wants to say – appears to be slowing. What's going on here?James Egan: The pace of home price growth reported this month was 2.7 percent. That is the lowest that it's been since August of 2023. And in our view, the reason's pretty simple. Supply is increasing, while demand has stalled.Jay Bacow: But Jim, this was a report for the spring selling season. I know we got it in June, but this is supposed to be the busiest time of the year. People are happy to go around. They're looking at moving over the summer when the kids aren't in school. We should be expecting the supply to increase. Are you saying that it's happening more than it's anticipated?James Egan: That is what we're saying. Now, we should be expecting inventories today to be higher than they were in, call it January or February. That's exactly the seasonality that you're referring to. But it's the year-over-year growth we're paying attention to here. Homes listed for sale are up year-over-year, 18 months in a row. And that pace, it's been accelerating. Over the past 40 years, the pace of growth from this past month was only eclipsed one time, the Great Financial Crisis.Jay Bacow: [sighs] I always get a little worried when the housing analyst brings up the Great Financial Crisis. Are you saying that this time the demand isn't responding?James Egan: That is what we're saying. So, through the first five months of this year, existing home sales are only down about 2 percent versus the first five months of 2024. So they've basically kind of plateaued at these levels. But that also means that we're seeing the fewest number of transactions through May in a calendar year since 2009. And that combination of easing inventory and lackluster demand, it's pushed months of supply back to levels that we haven't seen since the beginning of this pandemic. Call it the fourth quarter of 2019, first quarter of 2020, right before inventory has really plummeted to historic lows.Jay Bacow: All right, so 2009, another financial crisis reference. But you're also – you're speaking around a national level, and as a housing analyst, I feel like you haven't really spoken about the three most important factors when we think about things which are: Location. Location. And location.James Egan: Absolutely. And the deceleration that we're seeing in home price growth – and I would point out it is still growth – has been pervasive across the country. Year-over-year, HPA is now decelerating in 100 percent of the top 100 MSAs, for which we have data. In fact, a full quarter of them, 25 percent of these cities are now actually seeing prices decline on a year-over-year basis. And that's up from just 5 percent with declining home prices one year ago.Jay Bacow: As a homeowner, I do like the home price growth. And is it the same story when you look more narrowly around supply and demand?James Egan: So, there might be some geographical nuances, but we do think that it largely boils down to that. Local inventory growth has been a very good indicator of weaker home price performance, particularly the level of for-sale inventory today versus that fourth quarter of 2019. If we look at it on a geographic basis, of 14 MSAs that have the highest level of inventory today compared to 2019, 11 of them are in either Florida or Texas. On the other end of the spectrum, the cities where inventory remains furthest away from where it was four and a half years ago, they're in the Northeast, they're in the Midwest.Jay Bacow: As somebody who lives in the Northeast, I'd like to hear that again. But you're also; you're quoting existing prices, which that's been the outperformer in the housing market. Right?James Egan: Exactly. New home prices have actually been decreasing year-over-year for the past year and a half at this point. It's actually brought the basis between new home prices, which tend to trade at a little bit of a premium to existing sales; it's brought that basis to its tightest level that we've seen in at least 30 years. And that's before we take into account the fact that home builders have been buying down some of these mortgage rates. But Jay, you've recently done some work trying to size this.Jay Bacow: Yeah. First it might help to explain what a buydown is.A home builder might have a new home listed at say, $450,000. And with mortgage rates in the context of about 6.5 percent right now, the home buyer might not be able to afford that, so they offer to pay less. The home builder – often many of them also have an origination arm as well. They'll say, you know what? We'll sell it to you at that $450,000, but we'll give you a lower mortgage rate; instead of 6.5 percent, we'll sell it to you for $450,000 with a 5 percent mortgage rate. Then maybe the home buyer can afford that.James Egan: And so, new home prices are actually coming down. And by that we're specifically referring to the median price of new home transactions. They're falling despite the fact that these buy downs might be influencing prices a little bit higher.Jay Bacow: Right. And when we look at how often this is happening, it's a little actually hard to get it from the data because they don't have to report it. But when we look at the distribution of mortgage rates in a given month – prior to 2022, there were effectively no purchase loans that were originated less than one point below the prevailing mortgage rate for a given month.However, more recently we're up to about 12 percent of Ginnie Mae purchases, and those are the more credit constrained borrowers that might have a harder time buying a home. And about 5 percent of conventional purchase loans are getting originated with a rate 1 percent below the outstanding marketJames Egan: And so, this might be another sign that we're seeing a little bit of softening in home prices. But what are the implications on the agency mortgage side?Jay Bacow: I would say there's probably two things that we're keeping an eye out on. Because these are homeowners that are getting below market rate, the investors are getting a below market coupon. And because they're getting sold at a discount, they don't want that, but they're going to stay around for a while. So, investors are getting these rates that they don't want for longer.And then the other thing you think about from the home buyer perspective is, you know, maybe they – it's good for them right now. But if they want to sell that home, because they're getting a below market mortgage rate, they bought the home for maybe more than other people would've. So, unless they can sell it with that mortgage attached, which is very difficult to do, they probably have to sell it for a lower price than when they bought it.Now Jim, what does all this mean for home prices going forward?James Egan: Now, when we think about home prices, we're talking about the home price indices, right? And so those are going to be repeat sales. It's going to, by definition, look at existing prices and not necessarily the dynamics we're talking in the new home price market.Jay Bacow: Okay, so all this builder buy down stuff is interesting for what it means for new home prices – but doesn't impact all the HPA indices that you reference.James Egan: Exactly, and at the national level, despite what we've been talking about on this podcast, we do think that home prices remain more supported than what we are seeing locally. Inventory is increasing, but it also remains near historically low levels. Months of supply that I mentioned at the top of this podcast, it's picked up to the highest level it's been since the beginning of this pandemic. We're also talking about four to four and a half months of supply. Anything below six is a tight environment that has been historically associated with home prices continuing to climb.That's why our base case is for positive HPA this year. We're at +2 percent. That's slower than where we are now. We think you're going to continue to see deceleration. And because of what we're seeing from a supply and demand perspective, we are a little bit more skewed to the downside in our bear case. Instead of that +2, we're at -3 percent than we are towards the upside in our bull case. Instead of that plus two, we're at plus 5 percent in the bull case. So slower HPA from here, but still positive.Jay Bacow: Well, Jim, it's always a pleasure talking to you, particularly when you're highlighting that the home price growth is going to be stronger in the place where I own a home.James Egan: Pleasure talking to you too, Jay.

Summer is typically a slow season for policy in D.C. and the states. Legislative sessions wrap up, and Congress heads into recess. But if you thought that meant a quiet summer, think again.With the bombings in the Middle East, the “One Big Beautiful Bill” moving slowly through Congress, and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott calling a special session, this summer is shaping up to be anything but calm.On This Week's Economy, I expose what lawmakers should be focused on. Spoiler: it's mostly about spending restraint and getting the government out of the way!You can catch the full episode on YouTube, Apple Podcast, or Spotify.Visit: VanceGinn.comSubscribe: VanceGinn.Substack.com

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA TRACS, and Today's Class Recorded at the NAPA NOW Event, this episode explores the "Slow Down, Move Over" (SDMO) initiative, a vital traffic safety campaign focused on protecting roadside workers, emergency responders, and stranded drivers. It highlights the dangers these individuals face, including staggering statistics on injuries and fatalities. The conversation underscores the importance of driver awareness, professional training for tow truck operators, and the use of technology like Safety Cloud, which warns motorists of roadside hazards. Real-life stories add emotional weight, while fundraising efforts support awareness and aid impacted families. The message is clear: slowing down and moving over saves lives.
