Sadie and Emma go way back, and in today's convo, Emma opens up about a powerful moment tied to a photo they once took together — and the wave of online bullying that followed. She remembers the world feeling like it stopped as she read all the hateful comments about “the girl in the middle.” In the days after, Emma had a choice: keep torturing herself by reading every comment and believing the lies, or lean into what she knew was true about who she is as a child of God. Her strength and wisdom seriously shine through in this conversation with Sadie. Emma reminds us that we all have our own “girl in the middle” moment — so when that time comes, what will we choose? To boldly live out our faith in the love of God, or to stay in the comfort zone?

Discover how breathwork, NLP, emotional intelligence, and somatic healing can help you reclaim your energy, set boundaries, and shift from fear to action. This conversation invites every overwhelmed achiever to slow down, reconnect, and write a new story. About the Guest:Susanna Kenyon-Moir is a holistic life and career coach, NLP practitioner, and founder of Coaching by Susanna.

Join us for the official launch of Reimagining Social Security: Global Lessons for Retirement Policy Changes by Romina Boccia and Ivane Nachkebia, a timely and urgent new book in which the authors rethink how America can safeguard retirement security for current and future generations. As the Social Security program nears a fiscal tipping point, the authors bring together expert insights, international case studies, and actionable policy solutions to show how the United States can reform its retirement system without burdening younger generations with unsustainable debt and taxes.Now marking its 90th year, Social Security faces a critical moment: By 2033, the program's trust fund depletion could trigger automatic benefit cuts of 23 percent unless Congress acts. Reimagining Social Security dives into the root causes of this crisis and explores how reforms adopted in countries including Canada, Germany, Sweden, and New Zealand can offer valuable guidance for the United States. Through original interviews and novel analysis, the authors present a compelling case for bold reforms that take a meaningful step toward fiscal sustainability while safeguarding a vital source of income for many retirees and protecting workers from undue tax burdens that reduce their choices and opportunities for a better life.The event will feature presentations and panel discussions with leading experts in retirement and fiscal policy. Join us for a timely discussion on principled, evidence-based reforms to restore Social Security's fiscal sustainability and to protect future generations from mounting debt and economic decline—before it's too late.

In this episode of The CEO Podcast, Scott De Long, Ph.D., and Vince Moiso return after a long hiatus to discuss the challenges leaders face in making tough calls during uncertain times in this limited-run series, Leadership at the Crossroads. They open with reflections on the current economic and political landscape, including inflation, tariffs, AI disruption, and fluctuating interest rates of which test a leader's ability to remain calm, focused, and strategic. Scott emphasizes the importance of staying calm and making data-driven decisions rather than fear-based reactions. He encourages leaders to balance instinct with analysis, ensuring decisions are informed by both experience and data. Vince adds that focus is more critical than ever, urging leaders to eliminate distractions from constant news cycles to phone notifications so they can maintain clarity and productivity. Together, they explore how external noise and media bias can influence leadership decisions and why critical thinking and perspective are essential traits for modern executives. The conversation shifts to organizational growth, where Scott and Vince share insights on balancing entrepreneurial drive with operational discipline. They discuss a case study of a fast-growing company learning to integrate structure without stifling innovation. The duo agrees that while bold moves are sometimes necessary, leaders must know when to slow down, assess internal processes, and ensure alignment with long-term vision. They conclude by encouraging CEOs to revisit their organizational purpose, assess market realities, and recalibrate their three-year vision to align with today's changing business climate. Key Takeaways Leaders must stay calm, grounded, and data-driven when navigating uncertainty. Eliminating distractions and focusing on what truly matters is essential for effective leadership. Sometimes slowing down to analyze and align can lead to faster, more sustainable growth. Key Insights Economic uncertainty, including inflation and tariffs, demands clear-headed leadership. Data-driven decision-making reduces fear-based reactions and helps maintain stability. Balancing entrepreneurial instinct with structure is key to sustainable scaling. Avoiding constant exposure to news and social media can improve focus and mental clarity. Leaders should question media biases and seek diverse perspectives before forming opinions. Slowing down at key decision points can prevent costly mistakes and promote strategic clarity. Collaborative decision-making fosters buy-in and stronger organizational alignment. Understanding team personalities and communication styles enhances leadership effectiveness. Organizations should routinely reassess vision, processes, and resource allocation.

In Episode 286 of The Business Development Podcast, Kelly Kennedy sits down with transformational coach and finance expert Jenn Bieri, founder of The Practice Space, to explore what it truly means to redefine success without losing yourself. Jenn shares her powerful journey from scaling a global tech startup from 40 to 400 employees and leading $20 million in capital raises, to realizing that achievement without alignment comes at a cost. Her story is one of courage, clarity, and transformation—showing what happens when you trade burnout for balance and ambition for authenticity.Together, Kelly and Jenn unpack the real challenges leaders face behind closed doors: the exhaustion, the guilt, and the endless pursuit of “more.” They discuss how mindfulness, emotional awareness, and intentional boundaries can shift the way we lead and live. This episode is a reminder that success isn't about how far you can push—it's about how true you can stay to yourself while you rise.Key Takeaways: 1. Success without alignment eventually leads to burnout, no matter how high you climb.2. Leaders often forget that they need emotional and physical care just as much as their teams do.3. Slowing down and creating space often produces more clarity and creativity than constant action.4. True balance requires intentional boundaries—your time and energy deserve structure.5. Ambition can be healthy, but only when paired with mindfulness and self-awareness.6. Fulfillment comes from aligning your career and lifestyle with your values, not external validation.7. Redefining success means unlearning the belief that worth is tied to productivity.8. Fear is natural when stepping away from comfort, but courage creates transformation.9. Sustainable leadership starts with nervous system regulation—rest is a strategy, not a luxury.10. The ultimate freedom comes when you choose to thrive, not just survive, in your work and life.The Practice Space is where high-performing leaders learn to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and build success that feels balanced, intentional, and deeply human.Learn More: https://thepracticespace.co/If you listen to The Business Development Podcast, you belong in The Catalyst Club.

Mark 3 — Key Events 1. Jesus Heals on the Sabbath In the synagogue, Jesus encounters a man with a withered hand. The religious leaders watch closely, hoping to accuse Him. Jesus asks: “Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?” When they remain silent, He heals the man — revealing God's heart for compassion over legalism. 2. Crowds Follow Jesus From Galilee, Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, and beyond, people come to see Jesus. His miracles draw many, and even unclean spirits declare Him the Son of God. 3. Jesus Appoints the Twelve Apostles Jesus calls and appoints twelve men to be His closest followers, sending them out to preach and giving them authority to cast out demons: Simon Peter James & John (Sons of Thunder) Andrew Philip Bartholomew Matthew Thomas James son of Alphaeus Thaddaeus Simon the Zealot Judas Iscariot 4. Confrontation with Religious Leaders The scribes accuse Jesus of working by the power of Satan. Jesus responds with the famous teaching: “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” He warns against blaspheming the Holy Spirit — a sin with eternal consequences. 5. Redefining Family When His mother and brothers come looking for Him, Jesus declares: “Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.”

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Dr. David Sinclair, PhD, a professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School and a leading expert on the biology of aging. We discuss the cellular and molecular mechanisms of aging—and how specific behaviors, such as fasting, regular exercise and NAD⁺-boosting compounds like NMN, can activate the body's natural longevity pathways.

In this episode, Coach Jenn and I challenge the belief that busyness equals worth. For too long, many have worn "busy" like a badge of honor, believing that rest must be earned, that stillness means laziness, and that productivity defines value. But the truth is simple: you are valuable because you exist, not because of what you do. We explore the different seasons of life, from motherhood to midlife transitions and how each one calls for a redefinition of what it means to make progress. Rest isn't indulgent; it's essential. Slowing down doesn't mean you're falling behind, it's how you realign with who you truly are. If you've ever struggled with guilt for resting, perfectionism that keeps you in constant motion, or the pressure to prove your worth through doing, this conversation will remind you that progress doesn't need to be seen, validated, or measured by anyone else. Ready to Take This Work Deeper?: Are you ready to stop living on autopilot and start creating the life you actually want? The Life Upgrade Masterclass Series is your monthly blueprint for real change. 12-months of live Masterclass workshops (with replays available) designed to help you break old patterns, build momentum, and create lasting transformation.

Have you ever closed your laptop at the end of a long day with a list full of checkmarks but the nagging sense that your business hasn’t actually moved forward? That frustrating gap between effort and progress is often a sign of a hidden issue: you’ve become the business bottleneck.  That frustrating gap between effort and progress? It’s more common than you think and often signals that you’ve become the bottleneck in your own business. According to Intuit’s 2024 Business Solutions Report, 51% of small business owners say they’re struggling to streamline operations to enable growth.  Instead of focusing on the high-value work that drives growth, you’re buried in maintenance tasks that keep you busy but not effective. I know this because I’ve lived it. In my early solopreneur days, I wore every hat—marketer, bookkeeper, client delivery, even Canva designer at midnight. Like many early-stage entrepreneurs, I was hustling hard — working late into the night designing graphics. It wasn’t sustainable. I was teetering on solopreneur burnout and didn’t even know it I told myself I was being productive, but in reality, I was slowing everything down. My business only began to grow when I stepped out of the bottleneck and into my CEO role. In this episode, we’ll unpack the hidden costs of doing it all yourself, how maintenance mode is stalling your growth, and the mindset shifts that free you up to lead — not just grind. By the end, you’ll see what’s really holding your business back and discover a path that allows you to grow without adding more hours to your day.

What if the best leadership isn't about having the answers, but about asking the questions that draw out wisdom, connection, and creativity from those around us? What if the most transformational moments in ministry happen not when we speak—but when we invite others to share, reflect, and dream with us?In this episode, J.R. Briggs, author of The Art of Asking Better Questions discusses how asking great questions can open new possibilities for ministry leaders and lead to healthier, more effective leadership—for ourselves and our churches.THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:JR Briggs describes how questions neurologically "hijack" our brains, engaging us much more deeply than simple information does.Questions foster both clarity and engagement, enabling deeper connection and creativity between people.JR Briggs identifies several cultural obstacles to asking questions, including conversational narcissism, a lack of curiosity, and the fear of awkwardness.Healthy questions play a crucial role in building connection and trust, especially in an age marked by loneliness.JR Briggs attributes his passion for asking questions to observing his father's genuine curiosity and care for others.The quality of your life depends on the quality of questions you ask yourself, God, and others.Deliberate practice, such as collecting good questions and “gaming” conversations, strengthens one's ability to ask better questions.JR Briggs outlines four levels of questions: information, interaction, understanding, and transformation, each deepening relational impact.JR Briggs encourages leaders to move beyond transactional questions and pursue transformational conversations grounded in trust.Curiosity, wisdom, humility, and courage are essential virtues for asking effective questions.Markus Watson notes that leading with questions, rather than only answers, builds stronger relationships and trust as a pastor.Great leaders amplify others and cultivate deep curiosity, according to JR Briggs's research and coaching experience.Questions create space for spiritual direction, hospitality, and genuine pastoral care within ministries.Slowing down and asking questions in tense moments, instead of having knee-jerk reactions, can lead to greater understanding and connection.Jesus used questions extensively—over 300 in the New Testament—to provoke thought, deepen engagement, and transform lives.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Kairos PartnershipsBooks mentioned:The Art of Asking Better Questions, by J.R.

Not happy, not sad, not energized, not connected. Just floating. He explains how this happens slowly over time, from past hurt, from stressful routines, from always being on, and from the constant distractions we surround ourselves with to avoid actually feeling anything.Daryl walks through how emotional shutdown is a survival mode that a lot of people are in right now. You convince yourself you are functioning, you keep it surface level with most people, you keep scrolling, you keep moving, but you are not really connected to yourself or anybody else. He talks about why that becomes dangerous long term, because when you turn off the painful stuff you also turn off the good stuff. The warmth. The joy. The love. The pride. The calm.This conversation is about starting to wake back up. Daryl shares some first steps to reconnect. Slowing down. Having real conversations instead of constant distraction. Meeting up with people in person when you can. Getting outside without a screen for a few quiet minutes and actually sitting with yourself. Letting yourself feel anger and grief when something hurts, instead of shutting it down. Letting yourself feel excitement and care when something good shows up, instead of playing it cool.You will also hear him stress how helpful therapy can be for untangling why you disconnected in the first place and how you personally can start to move forward. Everyone's story is different. Everyone's way back is different. But nobody is meant to live their entire life numb.This is a very real talk about what it means to stop just getting through the day and start actually living again.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

In this conversation, Justina explores the complexities of desire, acceptance, and the emotional journey of navigating what we want versus what we have. She emphasizes the importance of slowing down, grieving unmet desires, and recognizing the power in acceptance. Through understanding the stages of grief and the difference between grief and rumination, Justina encourages listeners to focus on what they can control and to embrace their unique journeys.TakeawaysThe answer to our desires often lies in understanding our resistance.Bypassing discomfort can lead to cognitive distortions.Success is a personal definition and can take many forms.Slowing down allows us to recognize misalignment in our lives.Grieving unmet desires is a natural and necessary process.Acceptance of what we cannot control opens up new possibilities.Rumination keeps us stuck, while grief allows for healing.We must focus on what we can control to regain our power.Our journeys are unique, and we should honor that.Letting go of attachment to outcomes can lead to greater fulfillment.Navigating Desire and AcceptanceThe Journey of Grief and Growth"What if it was simply with being?""Your journey is unique to you.""I trust that what is for me will come."Sound BitesChapters00:00Understanding the Desire for Change01:43The Importance of Slowing Down03:39Navigating Powerlessness and Acceptance05:25Grieving vs. Rumination07:24The Stages of Grief09:12Letting Go of Control10:30Opening Up to Possibility12:35Finding Your Unique Path14:43Embracing the Human Experience17:07The Illusion of Certainty18:52Choosing Acceptance and Trust

Matt Drury Finally Lands the Perfect Shot | 100% Wild Podcast Ep. 447  Matt opens up about coming home from Idaho after skimming a bull's back and how it tanked his confidence, then walks through the exact moves that put a mature Missouri buck on the ground: ditching minerals, building and maintaining DIY water holes, reading an east/southeast wind with nasty thermals (and a neighbor 90 yards away), and leveraging a pre-built mock scrape for a 25-yard heart shot. Tim shares his own early-season chess match, why open clover plots can feel “unsafe,” and how focusing on water becomes a legal high-value draw in warm spells.  Timestamps: 0:01 Matt: “I was ready to quit” 0:26 Cold open banter + Orange Fury shout 1:16 Tim's early-season update: playing cat-and-mouse with “Hulk” 2:14 Self-filming close call at 18 yards 3:43 Why some clover plots go dead + security discussion 3:54 Missouri strategy shift: water holes (Rubbermaid tote → tarp pit) 5:26 Young bucks “dog-bowl” the water + scaling up the hole 6:10 Big deer hits the new water the same night 7:12 Matt finally connects: “I killed a deer with my bow” 7:35 Idaho elk recap: yardage miss and the mental hit 10:15 Herd bull appears; third draw in five minutes 11:13 No-range moment → over-the-back miss explained 12:28 Processing failure, camp vibes, and redemption hunger 15:09 Resetting expectations for Missouri 16:34 The hit list returns: Rib Cage and Chief 18:13 Chief's unique dagger G1; Rib Cage turns mainframe 10 19:22 Using DeerCast Past + camera tags to pick sits 20:04 Sept 30 sit: Rib Cage at 25 but too dark to shoot 23:28 Cold front timing: second day looks best 24:06 Choosing family first (son's last baseball game) while Chief daylighted 25:26 Next evening setup + neighbor in the fence-line stand 27:21 Wind vs. thermals and sealing the blind 28:58 Deer react to neighbor's thermals; how the east-side access saves the night 29:46 Chief appears, surveys the plot, and drifts to the scrape 30:43 The tree-coin scrape that finally worked (cutting a “pre-hit” branch + pee start) 31:58 Opening the vertical window with a doe/fawns at spitting distance 32:29 Quarter-away at 25 → heart shot; 50–75-yard crash 33:01 Slowing down the shot sequence after Idaho 35:07 Why instinctive at 25 sometimes hits best 35:20 Gear: new Mathews (65#), ~294 fps; sight light advantage in blinds 36:25 Broadhead: NAP Killzone 2.3 two-blade; entry/exit and blood trail 37:42 Odd “oily” blood segments along a very strong trail 39:10 Dragging luck: buck dies right at the edge of the nasty stuff 40:14 The fence-line neighbor dilemma and wishing for coordination 41:44 Community note to the neighbor + property line realities 42:09 Family & team reactions; why one arrow changes the whole fall Join the Rack Pack Facebook Group : https://www.facebook.com/share/g/n73gskJT7BfB2Ngc/ Get ahead of your Game with DeerCast available on iOS and Android devices App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/deercast/id1425879996 Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.druryoutdoors.deercast.app Don't forget to stock up for your next hunt! 1st Phorm has you covered!

Are you spending more on ads but getting less in return? You're not alone. In this eye-opening conversation, Preston Rutherford, co-founder of Chubbies (which achieved a nine-figure exit and continues to see 8 years of consecutive growth), reveals why most modern brands are stuck in what he calls "the performance trap." Preston breaks down the crucial 95-5 rule—the reality that 95% of your audience isn't actively shopping at any given time—and explains why optimizing only for immediate conversions is slowly eroding your brand. He shares the hard-earned lessons from Chubbies' journey, including their midlife crisis moment when efficiency metrics looked great but the business fundamentals were deteriorating.

ITPM Flash provides insight into what professional traders are thinking about in the markets RIGHT NOW!   Slowing job creation and stagnant wages make Cintas ($CTAS) uniformly stretched.   In this episode of ITPM Flash, Edward Shek presents a short idea on Cintas ($CTAS) — the U.S. market leader in workplace uniforms and hygiene services. While Cintas has delivered years of steady growth and trades at premium valuations, Ed argues the story is uniformly stretched. With job creation slowing, wage growth stagnating, and little evidence of a broad cyclical recovery, Cintas faces structural headwinds that could pressure earnings and trigger multiple compression. He outlines the company's fundamentals, exposure to employment trends, and explains why a January vertical put spread offers an attractive way to express the view.

Land Academy's Steven Jack Butala and Jill DeWit share the secret they wish they'd known earlier: how to leverage other people's money (OPM) to scale fast. This isn't about traditional debt or high-pressure schemes. It's about tapping into a supportive community where capital is abundant and partners are eager to fund great deals. Jack and Jill break down why there's more money than amazing deals—making you the essential partner, the simple, non-intimidating way deal partnerships work, how lifting your personal capital barrier can move you from slow, small deals to a private equity-style business model. Stop letting your bank account dictate your success. Hear a true story of a member who turned a $30,000 buy into a $72,000 profit with a partner! Ready to stop missing out on bigger opportunities?

General Motors (GM) drove a strong earnings rally on Tuesday's trading session, something Ivan Feinseth attributes to a positive outlook for the U.S. consumer. It's not just the automobiles boosting his bullishness. Ivan notes services and subscriptions giving General Motors more gas in the engine. Karl Brauer adds that the company's mitigation efforts against tariffs paint a more optimistic picture for other automakers. Other structural initiatives in GM, including changes to its EV business, give him confidence this rally can hold.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Send us a textThe Ramirez brothers preview the Chargers' upcoming matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Slowing down Jonathan Taylor will be the key to victory, but that's easier said than done. The Chargers defense needs to return to its early-season form to stay unbeaten in AFC play, as this game could have major tiebreaker implications with the Steelers and Colts also undefeated in the conference. Injuries could play a big factor — will Khalil Mack, Denzel Perryman, Joe Alt, Trey Pipkins, or Jamaree Salyer return? If Justin Herbert gets time, this could be a game where he lights up the scoreboard.

Cost of goods and services are seeing some pressures from inflation. Many businesses are absorbing the costs of tariffs if they sell items that are affected. Some are starting to increase prices. Not in mass though. The job market is somewhat frozen for new entry level positions. Many employees are not retiring, others are not moving to other jobs because of the current state of the market. That makes entry level jobs less available. Inflation is still with us, but not at the rate in the past. Prices are not dropping either.

Today, I'm diving solo into a topic that's both fascinating and a little bit spooky—senescent cells, also known as “zombie cells.” Understanding zombie cells is a crucial piece of the puzzle if you want to feel younger, stronger, and more resilient as you age. In this episode, I unpack what senescent cells are, why they're not just harmless bystanders, and how their buildup can accelerate the aging process and drive chronic inflammation—one of the hallmarks of aging. I break down the lifestyle habits that might be quietly increasing your zombie cell load, the early warning signs your body could be giving you, and most importantly, the evidence-backed interventions you can start using right now—from exercise and diet, to cutting-edge supplements, peptides, and more.   Episode Timestamps: What are Senescent (“Zombie”) Cells and Why They Matter ... 00:00:36 Key Causes and Lifestyle Factors Driving Senescence ... 00:02:40 Dietary Strategies: Mediterranean Diet, Protein, and Polyphenols ... 00:08:57 How Zombie Cells Disrupt Tissue and Drive Chronic Disease ... 00:13:37 Symptoms Linked to Excess Senescent Cells ... 00:20:58 Challenges in Measuring Senescent Cells ... 00:23:31 Senescent Cells: Helpful in Healing, Harmful in Excess ... 00:30:39 Senolytics and Senostatics: Drugs and Natural Compounds ... 00:36:14 Lifestyle and Supplement Strategies to Reduce Zombie Cells ... 00:39:14 Peptides for Advanced Senescence Management ... 00:48:09   Our Amazing Sponsors: Probiotic Breakthrough by Bioptimizers: uses a stress-tested Lactobacillus plantarum strain that showed over 30× greater survival in bile and intestinal fluid vs. generic strains.

We were fascinated by the bugs outside, exploded in laughter often, and moved our bodies with full expression.  It felt good and simple.  So today's meditation will help you reconnect to the child within you.  The one who is deeply connected to the present moment, the wide range of her emotions and the magic that exists all around her.  Let's begin by settling into a position that's comfortable for you,  Closing your eyes and gently bringing your attention onto your breath.  Find its rhythm, Its soft circular motion that regulates your body. Expand your breathing, Slowing down your heartbeat, Slowing down your mind. And find a thread of stillness inside of you. Be here, And breathe… PAUSE… See if you can imagine yourself as a child,  Standing outside in the sun, Feeling the grass under your feet, And holding a small wildflower you just picked.  Give yourself a moment to look at it, To really look at it.  PAUSE... Let your eyes widen in wonder as they explore the colorful petals,  Noticing the almost invisible grooves etched into each of them, The fuzzy center from which everything explodes towards the sun.
