Indie rock band Scorched Waves stopped by Fox Cities Core on WCZR Code Zero Radio for an in-depth interview during Mile of Music 13 in Appleton, WI! The Stevens Point, Wisconsin group — Tyler Armstrong (guitar), Finn Vaughn (bass), Tiernan Brinkman (lead vocals), and Jaron Chick (keys), with drummer Damien Kessler holding down the road — sat down to talk band history, songwriting, touring stories, and what's next for Scorched Waves.In this interview, Scorched Waves breaks down their evolution from a high school garage band into an energetic live act — from their earliest EP recorded in a bedroom, to their debut album "Televised Paradise," to 2024's "With a Smile," and the more melodic, dynamic direction they're taking on new music like "Sinners" and "Things Will Be Fine." They also dig into their collaborative songwriting process, their weekly practice routine (every Sunday since 2019!), wild tour stories from Denver to Nashville, an unexpected shoutout from actor Danny Trejo, and their love for Wisconsin's local music scene, including Wild Adriatic's influence on their sound.Whether you caught Scorched Waves at Mile of Music, Paper Fest, or Crazy Todd's house show, this Fox Cities Core interview gives you the full story behind the band and a look at where they're headed next.Follow Scorched Waves:Find them on all social media @scorchedwavesMore Fox Cities Core:Fox Cities Core is your source for interviews, venue spotlights, and show previews from the Fox Cities and Wisconsin regional live music scene, brought to you by WCZR Code Zero Radio.CHAPTERS:00:00 Scorched Waves Interview Begins – Fox Cities Core Welcome00:31 Scorched Waves & Their Fox Valley Roots02:29 Meet the Band – Tyler, Finn, Tiernan & Jaron02:55 Scorched Waves Origin Story – How the Band Started (2017-2019)03:30 From High School Emo Band to Indie Rock05:59 Where the Name "Scorched Waves" Came From07:37 Weekly Practice Since 2019 – Their Work Ethic10:52 Inside Scorched Waves' Songwriting Process14:23 Debut Album "Televised Paradise" & Recording During COVID17:19 "With a Smile" (2024) – A More Mature Sound19:33 New Singles & Plans for a Bigger Album Project20:46 Evolving Sound – Dance Rock, Melody & "Sinners"27:45 Paper Fest Story – Choking Mid-Set30:18 Scorched Waves Returns to Mile of Music33:58 Life on Tour – Sticky Vans & Small Towns, Big Energy36:07 Dedicated Fans & Unexpected Road Trip Stories39:56 The Danny Trejo Connection41:14 Crazy Todd's House Show & the Great Bee Incident43:20 Opening for Wheatus, High Fade & Bigger Artists45:18 Goals for Scorched Waves – First Avenue & Beyond46:48 Upcoming Shows: Riverside & Appleton Beer Factory48:43 Final Words from Scorched Waves#ScorchedWaves #MileofMusic #FoxCitiesCore #CodeZeroRadio #AppletonWI #IndieRock #WisconsinMusic #LiveMusicInterview #FoxValley #IndieBand #Mile13

She was 63, hadn't been intimate with her husband in years, and was told by every doctor, "This is just aging." Dr. Anna Cabeca had one thing to say back: No, it isn't. Dr. Anna Cabeca, The Girlfriend Doctor—a triple board-certified OB/GYN specializing in menopause, hormones, and women's vitality—shares her fully updated vaginal health protocol. This isn't the "just use a lubricant" advice you've heard before. It's a whole-body approach built from more than 26 years of clinical practice, her own experience with early menopause, and the patients who refused to accept "normal" as the final answer. You'll learn: Why vaginal dryness, bladder leaks, and recurrent UTIs are common after menopause—but not something you have to live with. How declining DHEA, estrogen, and progesterone affect tissue health, blood flow, and the vaginal microbiome. A simple 5-step daily routine to support adrenal health, tissue comfort, intimacy, and long-term vitality. Why oxytocin—not just estrogen or testosterone—may be the missing piece for connection, mood, and desire. How Dr. Anna's Sexual CPR framework helps women rebuild communication, pleasure, confidence, and intimacy at any age. Whether you're in your 30s preparing for what's ahead or in your 60s ready to feel like yourself again, this episode will help you understand what's really happening in your body—and what you can do about it. Your body has not given up on you. And it's never too late to feel vibrant again.

If you have ever wondered if your body has been trying to tell you something, this episode is for you!In this week's episode, I'm joined by the beautiful Sheriece. Energy healer, Reiki practitioner and one of the most compassionate women I know.Together, we dive into the fascinating world of chakras and energy centres, exploring what they are, what they can reveal about your emotions, limiting beliefs and patterns, and how understanding them can help you reconnect with yourself on a deeper level.I also share my own experience after having an energy healing session with Sheriece. We unpack the areas where my energy felt stagnant, what those blockages represented, and why simply acknowledging them has already left me feeling lighter, more aware and genuinely excited for what's to come.We chat about:✨ What the seven chakras are and what each one represents.✨ How your body and energy can communicate what's really going on beneath the surface.✨ Reiki and energy healing, and what to expect in a session.✨ How stagnant energy can influence your confidence, self-worth, relationships and even your ability to manifest.✨ Why so many limiting beliefs and negative thought patterns can be linked to your energy centres.✨ Simple ways to begin reconnecting with yourself and accessing your own inner wisdom.If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected or simply curious about energy healing, I think you're going to love this conversation.Sheriece and I are also so excited to be bringing this work to our Bloom Into Balance Retreat in Byron Bay this October. Energy healing sessions are included as part of the retreat experience, and we still have a handful of rooms available if you'd love to join us.

Wondering how to raise a reader?Worried about graphic novels, reluctant readers, or kids who just won't sit still long enough to finish a chapter?Trying to figure out whether screen time is killing your child's love of books — or whether your son who only reads Diary of a Wimpy Kid even counts as a reader?In this episode Stephanie reframes the whole conversation.Because the question most parents are asking, "how do I get my kid to read", is actually the wrong question. The better question is: how do you raise someone who thinks of themselves as a reader?Starting with the moment she discovered her daughter Katie used to cover her reading lamp with her hand when she heard footsteps in the hallway so nobody would know she was still awake reading past her bedtime. She wasn't sneaking her phone. She was sneaking her book.This episode covers: Are graphic novels real reading? (Yes. Here's why.)What to do with boys who won't sit still long enough to read.The book list Stephanie's son Nick put together from memory. Every book he remembers loving, organized by age and reading level.What a Yoto player is and why it matters for pre-readers.How to read alongside your kids instead of just telling them to read.Why the no-screens-in-bedrooms rule quietly built a reading culture in Stephanie's house over twenty years.Plus the line that changes how you think about all of it:Families don't raise readers. Families create homes where reading is normal.Nick's full book list — graphic novels, funny books, adventure series, non-fiction and more:NICK'S BOOK LIST FOR YOUNG BOYSBOOKS WITH PICTURES OR EASIER BOOKS TO START WITH• Amulet• Bone• Geronimo Stilton• Lunch Lady by Jarrett J.

Every story this week is the same story: powerful men demanding that you prove yourself to them while refusing to prove a goddamn thing to you.Prove your citizenship, in person, on paper, to register to vote. Prove you condemned the right slogans loudly enough to be allowed at a memorial in your own city. Meanwhile a sitting United States Senator cannot be produced on camera after 43 days, the Pentagon subtracts fifteen wounded Americans from its own ledger and offers a duty officer who is never at the desk, and the President of the United States announces a fourth term in a red hat and then says he is only kidding. This episode covers the Weekend at Mitchie's Counter and the EMS audio nobody wants to talk about, the SAVE Act as a pre-written excuse rather than a bill, four female reporters attacked in six days, a six hour Truth Social bender that produced a time travel epic and a wall against Canadian air, three hundred families petitioning to bar the first Muslim mayor of New York from Ground Zero, the debut of a brand new recurring segment with original music, James Carville nominating from his recovery bed the kid his party threw out an airlock, and Nick Turse's reporting on a casualty count that runs backwards. Reality Check is the one that will get Robin yelled at: the policies are popular, the vehicle cannot carry them, and the reason is machinery, not messaging....the DSABecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.TikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedevilpolitics

There's a lot of noise surrounding OSOs, DSOs, and private equity. In this episode, I sit down with Jay Hedrick, CEO of Smile Doctors, to cut through the myths and have an honest conversation about how these organizations really operate. Whether you're completely independent, already affiliated with an OSO, or simply curious about what these partnerships look like behind the scenes, this episode will give you the perspective most orthodontists never get: direct access to the CEO of a multi-billion-dollar orthodontic organization.We dive into leadership, business strategy, private equity, equity opportunities, culture, joint ventures, de novos, and what it actually takes to build a sustainable organization that benefits doctors, teams, patients, and investors alike. This isn't a sales pitch—it's an inside look at how high-level business decisions are made and what every orthodontist should understand before making one of the biggest decisions of their career.

From how many ops are plumbed versus equipped to why Ashley switched from Sirona to A-dec, this one is packed with real world advice for any startup doc trying to figure out where to spend and where to save.What You'll Hear In This Episode:The Operatory Layout Smile & Co. #2 is plumbed for nine operatories and currently equipped with five. Ashley walks through the layout including her open bay hygiene section with floor to ceiling windows, the restorative rooms, the cosmetic suite, and her plans for the remaining ops including a dedicated sedation room and a potential Botox suite tucked away in the back.The Sterilization Setup Ashley and Collin break down the sterilization area from dirty to clean, the gorgeous marble black countertops that patients actually compliment, the slat wall system from Uline that replaced traditional tip-out bins, and the tech cubby that keeps all the scanners and equipment tucked away and out of the patient flow. Sterilization has somehow also become the unofficial team hangout. No complaints.The Chairs Ashley went with A-dec for Smile & Co. #2 after her experience with the Sirona Intego chairs in Folsom. She breaks down the difference between the 500 Series in the cosmetic suite and the 400 in the restorative rooms, why she chose continental delivery, and why patient comfort should be the number one deciding factor when choosing a chair.The Assistant Package Two high speed suctions on the assistant side. A dedicated workstation. A round table. And garage style drawer doors for the tubs that slide out instead of swing open. Ashley is very extra about her millwork and zero apologies are being made.Electric Handpieces Once you go electric you never go back. Ashley makes the case for investing in electric handpieces from day one and shares the full mouth sedation case that reminded her exactly why she would never work without them again.The Equipment Philosophy If it improves the patient experience or makes your job more enjoyable, more efficient, and more profitable, it is worth the cost. That is Ashley's filter for every single equipment decision and it is the advice every startup doc needs to hear before they start spending.Coming Next Episode Technology, the Cerec, 3D printing, the music in the rooms, and all the little things that make Smile & Co. #2 what it is.Thank You to Our PartnersNet32: The dental marketplace that helps practice owners stop overpaying for supplies.

I think a lot about how I can best show up and be there for my people.  My family and closest friends… my inner circle.  I want to be very intentional about how I support them. I realized something recently that I hadn't pin pointed in this way before. And one of the greatest gifts you can give them isn't advice… It isn't solving all of their problems… It's belief. I think that's what every single person is really looking for. Someone who believes in them. Someone who's in their corner. Someone who genuinely wants to see them win. Today we are talking about believing in your people sometimes even more than they believe in themselves. I honestly think that's what so many people are longing for. To know someone sees something in them they can't quite see yet. Sometimes people just need to borrow someone else's belief until they build their own confidence. It looks like this… someone you love says "I have a huge presentation tomorrow." Instead of… "Oh man… that's stressful." Smile and say… "Good thing you're one of the best presenters I know." It's belief in what they are doing and what they care about.  By shifting our responses to belief statements, I think we can completely change how people feel after spending time with us. This is the reframe… when you're in a situation with someone you love and you're responding to what they have doing on or what they told you about… tell yourself… how can I show how much I believe in them? I think 99% of the time that's what they actually need and want to hear. Let's look at some examples. **Starting a business They say: "I've been thinking about starting my own business." Standard response: "Just be careful… most businesses fail." Your belief statement: "If anyone can figure this out, it's you. I know it will work because you don't stop until things do." **Child Before A Big Game They say: "I'm nervous about my game." Standard response: "Don't be nervous." Your belief statement: "Good thing you're the kind of person who plays their best when it matters. I can't wait to watch you." **Tough Day At Work They say: "I don't know if I'm doing a good job." Standard response: "I'm sure you're fine." Your belief statement: "I've watched you solve harder problems than this. I have complete confidence that you'll figure this out too." **Trying Something New They say: "I've never done anything like this before." Standard response: "Well… just try your best." Your belief statement: "Every expert was once doing something for the first time. I think you're going to surprise yourself." **Your Spouse Feeling Overwhelmed They say: "I don't know how I'm going to get everything done." Standard response: "Yeah… you've got a lot on your plate." Your belief statement: "I know it feels like a lot, but you're one of the most capable people I know. And we're a team—we'll figure it out together." Let's lean into these 4 types of belief statements 1. Believe in their ability "You've got this." "You're ready." "I trust you." "You can handle this." "You're really good at this." 2. Believe in their character "You're incredibly resilient." "You're wiser than you think." "You're a great leader." "You're one of the kindest people I know." "You're built for hard things." 3. Believe in their future "I can't wait to see what you do." "You're just getting started." "This is going to be part of your success story." "Your future is bright." "Big things are ahead." 4. Believe in them when they can't "I'll believe in you until you believe in yourself." "I see something special in you." "I wish you could see yourself through my eyes." "Don't count yourself out." "I haven't lost confidence in you for one second." Imagine if the people in your life consistently heard responses like these. Imagine how your spouse would walk into work. How your kids would walk into school. How your friends would chase bigger dreams. How much more courage they would have simply because they know there's someone in their corner who believes in them. You can't control every outcome for the people you love. But you can control what they hear from you. And maybe the greatest gift you can give someone isn't having all the answers… Maybe it's helping them believe they already have what it takes. The reframe… Before you respond to someone… Pause for just one second and ask yourself: "What response would make this person feel more capable?" Not more dependent. Not just more comfortable. More capable. Then respond from that place. Because the best supporters don't just make people feel better. They make people become better. And maybe that's one of the greatest gifts we can ever give the people we love.

We're back with another edition of DBG Times, covering the rockers we lost, milestone album anniversaries, and a packed slate of new releases. In Rockstar Deathdays, we remember Jim Morrison, Jeff LaBar, Gary Corbett, Dick Wagner, Wayne Charvel, Jennifer Finch, and the legendary Ozzy Osbourne. This month's album anniversaries cover an enormous range of rock history. We look back at Heart's Beautiful Broken, Billy Talent's Afraid of Heights, the hard-rock detour of Chrome Division, and the long-awaited New York Dolls comeback album One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This. We also revisit Judas Priest's controversial Ripper Owens era with Demolition, the internal turmoil surrounding the Black Crowes' Three Snakes and One Charm, and Alice Cooper's star-studded Hey Stoopid. Other anniversaries include the killer Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey soundtrack, David Lee Roth's supergroup debut Eat 'Em and Smile, Motörhead's Orgasmatron, Def Leppard's breakthrough-building High 'n' Dry, the Ramones' conflicted Pleasant Dreams, Funkadelic's dark and groundbreaking Maggot Brain, and the heavy Welsh debut from Budgie. We wrap things up with July's new releases, including fresh music from Deep Purple, the Rolling Stones, Smoking Snakes, Tesla, Coven Japan, Zan/Cody, Five Finger Death Punch, and Sinner's twenty-first and final studio album. It's another trip through rock history, loaded with stories, arguments, memories, and plenty of albums worth revisiting. We hope you enjoy DBG Times for July and SHARE with a friend.

The episode opens with a tribute to longtime technology journalist John C. Dvorak, as the panel reflects on his decades-long influence on computer journalism, podcasting, and the tech community.

The panel shares hands-on impressions of Apple Intelligence, Siri improvements, Liquid Glass refinements, Photos enhancements, Vision Pro updates, battery performance, and numerous quality-of-life improvements arriving across Apple's platforms.

This week on One More & I'm Outta Here, we're diving headfirst into a world where privacy feels about as real as a politician saying, "Trust me."First up, we're talking Flock cameras and asking the question everybody's wondering: How much privacy do we really have anymore? Every trip to the grocery store, every drive through town, and every questionable fast-food stop seems to have a camera watching. Are they catching criminals... or just documenting your third Taco Bell run this week?Then we tackle the latest Secret Service headache after a member assigned to Vice President JD Vance's detail came under investigation for allegedly leaking travel plans. Turns out "classified information" isn't supposed to be treated like neighborhood gossip.And if that wasn't enough, Sacramento officials found out the hard way that hot mics are undefeated after they were caught discussing how they might remove people from a public meeting. Folks, if there's one thing we've learned over the years, it's this: never assume the microphone is off... and never whisper near someone wearing a headset.Join us as we laugh our way through another week of headlines that sound completely made up—but somehow aren't. We'll bring the sarcasm, the common sense, and probably a few stories that will have you checking for cameras before you leave the driveway.So grab your favorite drink, buckle up, and remember... if you're listening to this podcast in your car, there's a decent chance someone already knows where you parked it.One More & I'm Outta Here—because the news just keeps getting weirder, and somebody has to laugh about it.

Do you ever walk out of a room feeling completely drained or heavier than when you walked in? If you are an empath or a highly sensitive person (HSP), you aren't just hearing people—you are absorbing their emotional weather. In this episode of Calming Anxiety, clinical hypnotherapist and former frontline paramedic Martin Hewlett shows you how to stop bracing for other people's storms and start generating your own climate of peace. Using a powerful 4-2-6 breathing technique and an immersive aura visualization, you will learn how to build a protective shield of calm that reflects negativity, leaving you centered, grounded, and in complete control. Cold Intro"Do you ever leave a room feeling heavier than when you walked in? Like you've just absorbed someone else's negative energy without even realising it? If you're an empath or simply a highly sensitive person, today we're doing something different. We're not building a wall to keep people out. We're learning how to protect your energy by building a calm aura around you."  Time Chapters00:00 – Intro: The Empath's Dilemma & Protecting Your Energy 00:38 – Welcome from Martin Hewlett & Settling In 01:21 – Paramedic Insights: Reading the Room vs. Changing the Climate 01:57 – The 4-2-6 Breathing Practice for Panic & Anxiety Relief 03:05 – Guided Aura Visualization: Creating Your Shield of Light 05:37 – Silent Hypnotherapy Affirmations for Grounding 08:25 – 3 Daily Caring Tips for Maintaining Your Emotional Boundaries 09:44 – Grounding Outro, Social Share & Closing Words AffirmationsRepeat these powerful phrases internally or whisper them to lock in your sense of peace and control: I am calm within this storm. Other people's storms move around me, not through me. I do not absorb what was never mine to carry. My calm is steady, even when the forecast around me changes. I am the climate I choose to create. 3 Daily Caring TipsTake these practical tools with you into the weeks and months ahead to protect your peace: Breathe Before You Enter: Before walking into a meeting, a room, or a tough conversation, take three mindful breaths and visualize your protective aura growing stronger. Let Storms Pass Through: Remember that you are human, not a weather system. If someone else's mood touches you, give it gentle permission to pass right on by. Audit Your Environments: Notice who in your life is consistently stormy. Be honest about how long you stand in the rain—you have full permission to shorten visits, take calls later, and protect your space. Share the CalmIf today's visualization helped you find your footing, please take a quick moment to share this episode on your social media feed. You never know which of your friends or loved ones might desperately need a 10-minute sanctuary of peace today. Smile often, my friend, and to your soul be kind.

Grab a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine) and settle in for a fun, heartfelt chat about how much we evolve over a decade, navigating changing friendships, and finding joyful new hobbies as we age. In This Episode, We Discuss: The 10-Year Evolution: Reflecting on how much our lives, priorities, and personalities change over a decade. The Midnight Library Perspective: A nod to Matt Haig's book and why looking back with grace beats getting stuck in the "Book of Regrets." Growing & Changing Together: How keeping long-term friendships and marriages strong requires flexibility as everyone evolves. Hobbies & New Passions: From BTS super-fans and golf lessons to gardening, bird watching, and gentle yoga classes. Inspiration for the Soul: A beautiful message by Brianna Weiss on letting your life be bigger and bolder than you ever imagined. Episode Highlights & Quotables "Studies show that you become a new person every 10 years... We did the best we could with our 10-year-ago self. Maybe it wasn't perfect, but we grow, our priorities change, and we keep moving forward." 10 Years Ago vs. Now: Moving from being uptight about dishes in the sink to adopting a practical "it'll be there tomorrow" mindset. Friendship Milestones: Celebrating best friends who jump into creative hobbies like 30-year-old hydrangeas or renting sprinters to see K-Pop concerts in their 50s! The Healing Power of Yoga: Why swapping physical therapy for a gentle 2–3 day a week yoga routine has been a game-changer. Featured Quote "I hope you allow your life to be bigger than you ever thought it could be. I hope you allow it to embody more beauty than you ever thought possible. I hope you don't get trapped by the small stories... Most of all, I hope you recognize the light when it hits you." — Brianna Weiss Resources & Links Mentioned Book Recommendation: The Midnight Library by Matt Haig Featured Recipe: Easy Baked Lemon Pesto Chicken (made with Trader Joe's seasonal Lemon Pesto over linguine!)

If the long golden evenings of summer make you feel a heavy sense of guilt—like you should be out doing something productive with all that beautiful light—and instead you just feel restless and unable to settle in, this session was built exactly for you. In tonight's episode of Calming Anxiety, clinical hypnotherapist and former frontline paramedic Martin helps you transition from a busy day into a peaceful evening. Using the slipping light of a late summer sunset, this practice leverages the concept of neuroception to retrain your nervous system to actively notice safety instead of constantly scanning for what's next. Through a science-backed 4-2-6 breathing technique and a beautifully visual journey into the "glimmers" of twilight, you'll give your mind and body ultimate permission to slow down, shed the day's negativity, and rest. Whether you are struggling with late-day restlessness or summer seasonal anxiety, let this 10-minute guided meditation ground you. Take a moment to simply be in the light rather than trying to use it. New to the podcast? Hit Follow now so tomorrow's evidence-based session finds you automatically.

Zach Braff (Scrubs, Garden State, Shrinking) joins me again this week for a conversation that swings from gut busting funny to genuinely tender. Zach opens up about living with depression, the highs and lows of a creative life, and the shingles nightmare he survived while directing Florence Pugh in A Good Person. We get into the real story behind bringing Scrubs back, rebuilding Sacred Heart from nothing, and what it takes to earn the trust of legends like Harrison Ford and Morgan Freeman. He also gets honest about being hard on himself, losing his dog Roscoe after 17 years, and the rescue that became his best antidepressant. Thank you to our sponsors:

In this episode Ashley and Collin dive into the design details behind Smile Design Studio in Roseville. From the Pinterest board that started it all to the $200,000 lighting package that got vetoed, the $45,000 fireplace that never happened, and the cosmetic wing that patients cannot stop raving about.What You'll Hear In This Episode:The Design Vision If Tom Ford met dentistry, what would that look like? Ashley shares the Pinterest board of boutique hotels, restaurants, and resorts that inspired the entire aesthetic of Smile Design Studio. Neutrals, blacks, clean lines, and a vibe that is anything but a dental office. She also shares the one scent detail that had patients asking questions the moment they walked through the door.The $200,000 Lighting Reality Check Ashley wanted uplighting, downlighting, chandeliers, and statement fixtures throughout the entire space. The lighting package quote came back at $200,000. She scaled back. Tastefully. And the office still looks stunning.The Fireplace That Never Was A see-through fireplace separating the lounge from the consultation room was on the original design. The quote came in at $45,000. It did not make the cut. Neither did the full kitchen in the break room. Sometimes champagne taste has to meet the hotdog budget.The Design Box After flying to Denver to meet with the architect for the 3D walkthrough, Ashley received a large box of every material sample for the office. Flooring, tile, millwork, wallpaper, and hardware. She and Collin spent hours going through it and there is an unboxing video to prove it.Hardware, Furniture, and Finishing Touches Matte black hardware throughout. Chandeliers from Crate and Barrel, West Elm, and CB2. Sofas and lounge chairs from Rove Concepts. A white sofa in the patient lounge that the team Scotchguards on the regular and would do again in a heartbeat.The Coffee Bar A single serve machine that grinds beans fresh for every cup, sparkling waters, flavored syrups, and creamers. Ashley also shares the California ADA accessible counter height detail that catches a lot of practice owners off guard.The Cosmetic Wing The crown jewel of Smile Design Studio. A dedicated cosmetic photo studio with a black wall and light boxes, a private patient restroom with river rock flooring, a concierge desk, and Ashley's personal office with a couch and TV for patients during long procedures. It feels like a completely separate business within the practice and it is the single thing patients compliment most.The Advice Worth Writing Down Know your long game. Design for who you are and where you are going. And if this is your first location do not go balls to the wall. Save that for when you have already proven the concept.Resources Mentioned: Scent diffuser and espresso machine links coming in the show notes and newsletter soonThank You to Our PartnersNet32: The dental marketplace that helps practice owners stop overpaying for supplies.

“Send Coach John a message”Found a great (and short) post that I wanted to share with you today. It comes from Kylie Riordan (@mindfulheal) and she introduces this post with this:  “Goodness I love these people.”  The thought is this:  “The people whose first instinct is to smile when you make eye contact with them are some of Earth's greatest treasure.”  So, I caught a couple of things here. First is that I need to be this person more often.  It also helped to remind me that when I smile more it benefits someone else and myself.  Once again, something that the world needs more of for sure.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Will I Ever Smile Again? Life After Child Loss Will I ever smile again? Not the one you put on so people stop worrying. Not the one you wear at the store so nobody asks. The real one — the kind that reaches your eyes. Some of you can't remember the last time it happened. And underneath that question is one you can barely say: if you ever do smile again, are you leaving your child behind? This is our 300th episode — a milestone we reached together — and there is no question more fitting to sit with than this one. Because the answer isn't what most people hand a grieving mother. It's deeper and far more honest than "hang in there." In this episode, you'll discover:

How often do you find yourself rushing… even when nothing is actually wrong? You're hurrying your kids to get in the car. Speed-walking through the grocery store. Eating lunch while answering emails. Counting down to Friday. Thinking, "I just need to get through today." Somewhere along the way, I think we've started treating ordinary life like it's an emergency. I started saying these 5 words to myself... "This is not an emergency." Today we're going to talk about how to stop living like every single thing is on fire... ...because it isn't. And when you start reminding yourself that this isn't an emergency... you don't just become calmer… you become happier overall.        We Have Accidentally Turned Everyday Life Into An Emergency Think about how many times today you probably said... "Hurry." "We're late." "Come on." "We don't have time." "Let's go." Most of us are moving at emergency speed... ...without an emergency.   Ask yourself... If someone watched security camera footage of my life... would they think I was constantly responding to disasters? Or just making breakfast? Because sometimes they look exactly the same.       Examples We Rush Through Every Day Getting kids ready for school Instead of... "Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!" Imagine saying internally... "This isn't an emergency." Will they still get dressed? Yes. Will yelling make it faster? Usually not. But it definitely changes everyone's morning.     Waiting in line We immediately grab our phones. Complain. Get frustrated. Instead... "This isn't an emergency." Maybe it's two extra minutes. Maybe this becomes your breathing break.   Traffic Somebody cuts you off. You're late. Heart rate skyrockets. Except... You arriving thirty seconds sooner changes almost nothing.     Grocery shopping People rush aisle to aisle. Barely noticing anyone. Never smiling. Never enjoying choosing food they'll feed their family. Life becomes one giant checklist.       Cleaning your house Instead of... "I have to get this done." Try... "I GET to create a home my family enjoys." Same task. Different experience.       Folding laundry Jay Shetty often talks about mindfulness inside ordinary moments. Laundry isn't stealing your life. Laundry IS your life. These ordinary moments ARE your life.       The "Can't Wait Until..." Trap This one is huge. People spend decades saying... "I can't wait until..." The baby sleeps through the night. They're potty trained. They're in kindergarten. Middle school. High school. College. Retirement. Vacation. Friday. Summer. The remodel is finished. When we finally move. When the house is clean. When I lose twenty pounds. Jay Shetty talks often about how our minds live in the future... and miss the only place life actually exists. Today.       What If This Was The Good Part? This might be the chapter you'll miss someday. The noisy dinner table. Little baseball cleats by the door. Teenagers asking for rides. Kids needing hugs. Messy kitchens. Dog hair everywhere. The chaos... might actually be the dream.       Looking For What's Wrong One thing I've noticed... When we're rushing... our brain becomes a problem detector. Traffic. Mess. Noise. Delays. People moving too slowly. Bad service. Rain. We're constantly scanning for irritation. Instead... What if we asked... What's beautiful about this moment? What would I miss if this disappeared tomorrow?   The Brain Finds What It Looks For If you're looking for inconvenience... you'll always find it. If you're looking for joy... you'll find that too. This is something both Mel Robbins and Jay Shetty return to in different ways: attention shapes experience. You don't control every circumstance, but you do have influence over where your mind rests.   Different Phases Of Life Young parents Instead of... "I just need bedtime." Think... "This little voice asking for one more story won't last forever."   Parents of teenagers Instead of... "I can't wait until they're independent." Think... "One day they'll stop needing me this much."   Working professionals Instead of rushing meeting to meeting... Take thirty seconds. Breathe. Drink your coffee while it's hot. Look out the window. Nothing explodes.   Entrepreneurs Everything feels urgent. Every email. Every customer. Every notification. Every opportunity. But if we're honest... very few business decisions require panic. Good businesses are built through consistent decisions... not frantic ones.       Questions To Ask Yourself Whenever you feel yourself speeding up... Ask: Is someone in danger? Is this actually urgent? Will this matter next week? Can I slow my breathing? Can I speak softer? Can I smile? Can I enjoy this? Can I choose peace instead?   My Favorite Reset Whenever I notice myself getting worked up... I literally say... "This is not an emergency." Sometimes out loud. Immediately... My shoulders drop. My breathing slows. My voice softens. I become a better mom. A better wife. A better friend. A better business owner. Not because my circumstances changed... but because my nervous system changed.   Tiny Moments That Become Better Waiting for your coffee. Watching your child tie their shoes. Cooking dinner. Folding towels. Driving to volleyball practice. Standing in line at Disneyland. Watching Little League warmups. Listening to your teenager tell a story that takes forever. Walking your dog. Sunsets. Rainstorms. Family dinners. These moments don't need to be escaped. They're the moments we're going to remember.   CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK This week... Every single time you notice yourself rushing... Pause. Take one deep breath. And simply say... "This isn't an emergency." Then intentionally slow down by just 10%. Walk slower. Talk slower. Eat slower. Drive calmer. Listen longer. Smile more. You might be surprised how much life you discover in those extra few seconds.     Life isn't usually asking us to move faster. It's asking us to be more present. The irony is that we spend so much of life racing toward the future... that we barely experience the life we're actually living. So this week... Give yourself one simple reminder. "This is not an emergency." Because most of the time... it isn't. And when you stop treating ordinary moments like crises... those ordinary moments become extraordinary. I hope this episode helps you slow down & enjoy the beautiful life you're already living.

Does a heavy feeling of dread start to build in your chest every single Sunday evening? You are not alone. In this deeply supportive 10-minute session, clinical hypnotherapist and former frontline paramedic Martin Hewlett breaks down the science behind the "Sunday Scaries"—a process known as anticipatory threat processing. Your intelligent brain is simply scanning the near future to protect you from upcoming workplace stressors, unanswered emails, and the week's demands. However, your nervous system cannot tell the difference between a real threat and an imagined one. Using the highly effective 4-2-6 breathing technique (inhale for 4, pause for 2, and a long, slow exhale for 6), you will learn how to deactivate flight-or-fight mode instantly. By extending your out-breath, you send a clear message of safety to your body, reclaiming Sunday night for the deep rest you deserve. Perfect for anyone struggling with work anxiety, weekend burnout, or sleeplessness, this guided practice brings you right back into the present moment where you are safe. ⏱️ Episode Chapters00:00 – Understanding the Low Hum of Sunday Evening Anxiety 01:11 – Getting Comfortable & Preparing to Release Tension 01:26 – The Science of Anticipatory Threat Processing & The Nervous System 02:38 – Breathwork Practice: The 4-2-6 Box Breathing Routine 04:05 – Grounding Exercise: Shifting from Future Dread to Present Safety 04:46 – Subconscious Hypnotherapy: Stepping Out of the Anticipation Loop 08:01 – 3 Daily Caring Tips to Beat the Sunday Scaries 09:33 – Awakening: Gently Returning Awareness to Your Room 09:50 – Outro: Share the Calm & Supporting the Anchored App

Originally Recorded on Friday June 5th and Wednesday June 10th, 2026 Happy Summer, fans! That Horror Show Podcast brings you a brand-new episode to keep you cool in this hot season. Those two dopes...er, we mean, those two hosts Timothy Kazda and Chris Koenig have been lounging by the pool and getting their tan on, but at the end of the day they are firm believers that "the show MUST go on" and fired-on their mics so they could talk about the two horror movies they watched. So, listen in as they review "Smile" (2022) and its sequel "Smile 2" (2024), both of which involve an evil entity that firmly believes in having perfect dental hygiene before killing you! And also, on the docket is none other than 'Nate's Corner' in which good ol' Nate reviews "Friday the 13th: Part 3" (1982) ...in 3D, but be forewarned his review can only be recorded in 2D!      

In this edition of Never Trust A Big Trend & A Smile, Jack and Miles discuss Trump saying/doing something, Todd Blanche’s confirmation hearing, permanent Daylight Savings Time, billionaire Andrew Lloyd Weber’s dire warning and much more!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Patrick explores the spiritual effect of habits like smiling in while trying to go to sleep to ease stress and lift the mood, responds to emails supporting a caller’s journey into Catholicism, and reflects on stories of conversion, confusion over Communion, and sincere efforts to answer tough questions about faith and family friction. Questions swirl about the reality of hell, the boundaries of sacrament reception, why the veneration of saints’ relics makes sense, and how Old Testament stories pair up with the Stations of the Cross. Audio: Sam Neill – Smile - https://x.com/SwrveYT/status/2077032782698528798/video/1?s=46 (00:19) Patrick shares emails that have come in regarding Lauren’s call from the first hour Lupe - Testimony about hell: I unfortunately got into witchcraft, and it opened dark doors. The devil and hell do exist, but Jesus saved me. (05:11) Bob - We always hear 'judge not' in culture, but that goes both ways. We can't judge the soul and outward appearances. In all God's hands, so we should just pray for them. (09:31) Matt - I want to go back to Church, but my wife has never felt welcome there. (12:38) Suzie - Church allows cremated but recommends burial. That's a contradiction from relics being taken from bones and placed outside grave. (19:38) Lucy - That previous caller cannot be godparents in Catholic church unless practicing Catholics. And you cannot shop around for parishes (23:42) Laura - My brother married a woman whose parish is a new apostolic church, and her son received communion there. (31:51) Imelda - What is church teaching on getting together with a person who committed adultery? (43:43)
