It is December 28th—that strange gap between Christmas and New Year. Let me ask you a question: How many times have you looked at your phone already today?.It is easy to open an app and see the "highlight reel" of everyone else's life—the matching pajamas, the immaculate tables, and those perfect smiles. This constant scrolling creates a trap of comparison, making you feel like your holiday wasn't enough or that you didn't do enough.This is "digital noise"—a low-level static buzzing in the back of your brain and stealing your joy.In today's session, Martin (Clinical Hypnotherapist) guides you through a powerful Digital Detox Visualization. We won't throw your phone in a river, but we will take your mind to a place where the signal cannot reach you.In this episode, you will:Unplug the Mental Router: Visualize placing your phone face down on a hallway table and pulling the plug on your Wi-Fi router to stop the frantic blinking lights.Escape to the Wild: Step out of your back door and into an ancient, deep forest where the trees reach up like pillars of a cathedral.Experience Biophilic Sound: Learn how natural sounds—like the rustle of wind and the snap of a twig—soothe the brain instantly.Watch the Signal Drop: Visualize the signal bars on your internal phone dropping from three, to two, to one, until you have "no service" and are completely free.Find What is Real: Realize that pixels on a screen are not real, but the breath in your lungs and the ground beneath your feet are.Your life, with all its messiness and imperfections, is real and valid. You do not need to perform for an audience; you just need to be.A Note from Martin: "Discard those negative anchors that have ever held you back, embrace your true potential.".Connect & Support: If this escape helped you find peace, please subscribe to Calming Anxiety.Next Step: When you open your eyes, try not to reach for the screen immediately—look at something real, like the sky or your hands.Smile often, and be kind.

There isn't a greeting card for every type of grief. Dr. Ken Doka joins the podcast in this episode to talk about anticipatory and disenfranchised grief. Before death even occurs, people are grieving - anticipating the loss of identity, functional ability, roles, and relationships as well as the actual loss that comes with death itself. This kind of grief is felt by both the person who's dying and the caregivers and family. Disenfranchised grief occurs when the relationship with the deceased person wasn't one that's recognized by society, and can't be publically mourned. Ex-spouses, abusive and estranged relationships can all be situations of disenfranchised grief. It can be difficult to find support for grief like this, making the griever feel isolated. Disenfranchised grief can be more complicated than grief related to healthy and close relationships.   If you need information about grief, check out the Hospice and Grief Info section of the Hospice Foundation of America's website.  Website: hospicefoundation.org Research on grieving: hospicefoundation.org/research-on-grief-and-grieving Grief and other types of loss: hospicefoundation.org/grief-and-other-types-of-loss Facebook: www.facebook.com/hospicefoundation Instagram: www.instagram.com/hfahospice X: x.com/hfahospice Hospice Navigation Services understands that you need unbiased, expert support to have the best end of life experience possible. And we believe you deserve to get good hospice care.  If you have questions about hospice care for yourself or someone you care about, Hospice Navigation Services can help. Whether you want to connect by phone or video, you can book a FREE 30-Minute Hospice Navigation Session, or a more in-depth 60-Minute Navigation Session for $95. If you need to troubleshoot the care you're already receiving, we're here to answer your questions. A 60-Minute Navigation Session by video call allows up to 3 family members to get the same expert information at the same time.

It is December 27th. This is a strange day; it feels like limbo. The adrenaline of the big day has vanished, but the world is already trying to claw its way back in with sales alerts, friends wanting to meet up, or family asking about leftovers.There is a pressure to be productive today—to go out and grab a bargain or make the most of your time off. Stop. Take a deep breath and push all of that away.In today's 10-minute session, we are practicing JOMO: The Joy of Missing Out. This is your official permission slip to be unavailable, unproductive, and to hibernate.In this guided meditation, you will learn to:Mute the Chaos: Use a mental "remote control" to silence the swirling vortex of high street noise and demand, turning the busy world to grey until it dissolves.Release the Guilt: Acknowledge the feeling that you "should" be doing something and gently tell it: "Not today".Enter the Hibernation Cave: Visualize a safe, warm space—perhaps a cabin deep in the snowy forest or a room with soundproof walls—where time has stopped.Internalize New Affirmations: Repeat deeply healing statements like, "My peace is more important than their expectations" and "I am enough just as I am, doing absolutely nothing".Rest is not laziness; it is preservation. You are protecting your peace and allowing your nervous system to come down from the high alert of the holidays.

You might not be able to stop all injustice in the world, but you can make it worse. Social media feeds on Christmas this year have shown arguments over whether Jesus was Palestinian or Israeli, an issue that shouldn't matter because of what happened after his birth and considering what he taught. Another popular video shows a Christmas tree with people hanging off of its branches and a caption about Muslims destroying a Christian tradition. The video, of course, was from 2016 and shows a mall event in Cairo, Egypt. Furthermore, since when is a Christmas tree a Christian symbol? Also, isn't Christmas a holy day, and wasn't the sun created by God? Why are holidays and the winter solstice considered heathen? Tonight's special Friday show will explore this along with the 2025 words of the year and top 20 conspiracies.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

BONUS: The Operating System for Software-Native Organizations - The Five Core Principles In this BONUS episode, the final installment of our Special Xmas 2025 reflection on Software-native businesses, we explore the five fundamental principles that form the operating system for software-native organizations. Building on the previous four episodes, this conversation provides the blueprint for building organizations that can adapt at the speed of modern business demands, where the average company lifespan on the S&P 500 has dropped from 33 years in the 1960s to a projected 12 years by 2027. The Challenge of Adaptation "What we're observing in Ukraine is adaptation happening at a speed that would have been unthinkable in traditional military contexts - new drone capabilities emerge, countermeasures appear within days, and those get countered within weeks." The opening draws a powerful parallel between the rapid adaptation we're witnessing in drone warfare and the existential threats facing modern businesses. While our businesses aren't facing literal warfare, they are confronting dramatic disruption. Clayton Christensen documented this in "The Innovator's Dilemma," but what he observed in the 1970s and 80s is happening exponentially faster now, with software as the accelerant. If we can improve businesses' chances of survival even by 10-15%, we're talking about thousands of companies that could thrive instead of fail, millions of jobs preserved, and enormous value created. The central question becomes: how do you build an organization that can adapt at this speed? Principle 1: Constant Experimentation with Tight Feedback Loops "Everything becomes an experiment. Not in the sense of being reckless or uncommitted, but in being clear about what we're testing and what we expect to learn. I call this: work like a scientist: learning is the goal." Software developers have practiced this for decades through Test-Driven Development, but now this TDD mindset is becoming the ruling metaphor for managing products and entire businesses. The practice involves framing every initiative with three clear elements: the goal (what are we trying to achieve?), the action (what specific thing will we do?), and the learning (what will we measure to know if it worked?). When a client says "we need to improve our retrospectives," software-native organizations don't just implement a new format. Instead, they connect it to business value - improving the NPS score for users of a specific feature by running focused retrospectives that explicitly target user pain points and tracking both the improvements implemented and the actual NPS impact. After two weeks, you know whether it worked. The experiment mindset means you're always learning, never stuck. This is TDD applied to organizational change, and it's powerful because every process change connects directly to customer outcomes. Principle 2: Clear Connection to Business Value "Software-native organizations don't measure success by tasks completed, story points delivered, or features shipped. Or even cycle time or throughput. They measure success by business outcomes achieved." While this seems obvious, most organizations still optimize for output, not outcomes. The practice uses Impact Mapping or similar outcome-focused frameworks where every initiative answers three questions: What business behavior are we trying to change? How will we measure that change? What's the minimum software needed to create that change? A financial services client wanted to "modernize their reporting system" - a 12-month initiative with dozens of features in project terms. Reframed through a business value lens, the goal became reducing time analysts spend preparing monthly reports from 80 hours to 20 hours, measured by tracking actual analyst time, starting with automating just the three most time-consuming report components. The first delivery reduced time to 50 hours - not perfect, but 30 hours saved, with clear learning about which parts of reporting actually mattered. The organization wasn't trying to fulfill requirements; they were laser focused on the business value that actually mattered. When you're connected to business value, you can adapt. When you're committed to a feature list, you're stuck. Principle 3: Software as Value Amplifier "Software isn't just 'something we do' or a support function. Software is an amplifier of your business model. If your business model generates $X of value per customer through manual processes, software should help you generate $10X or more." Before investing in software, ask whether this can amplify your business model by 10x or more - not 10% improvement, but 10x. That's the threshold where software's unique properties (zero marginal cost, infinite scale, instant distribution) actually matter, and where the cost/value curve starts to invert. Remember: software is still the slowest and most expensive way to check if a feature would deliver value, so you better have a 10x or more expectation of return. Stripe exemplifies this principle perfectly. Before Stripe, accepting payments online required a merchant account (weeks to set up), integration with payment gateways (months of development), and PCI compliance (expensive and complex). Stripe reduced that to adding seven lines of code - not 10% easier, but 100x easier. This enabled an entire generation of internet businesses that couldn't have existed otherwise: subscription services, marketplaces, on-demand platforms. That's software as amplifier. It didn't optimize the old model; it made new models possible. If your software initiatives are about 5-10% improvements, ask yourself: is software the right medium for this problem, or should you focus where software can create genuine amplification? Principle 4: Software as Strategic Advantage "Software-native organizations use software for strategic advantage and competitive differentiation, not just optimization, automation, or cost reduction. This means treating software development as part of your very strategy, not a way to implement a strategy that is separate from the software." This concept, discussed with Tom Gilb and Simon Holzapfel on the podcast as "continuous strategy," means that instead of creating a strategy every few years and deploying it like a project, strategy and execution are continuously intertwined when it comes to software delivery. The practice involves organizing around competitive capabilities that software uniquely enables by asking: How can software 10x the value we generate right now? What can we do with software that competitors can't easily replicate? Where does software create a defensible advantage? How does our software create compounding value over time? Amazon Web Services didn't start as a product strategy but emerged from Amazon building internal capabilities to run their e-commerce platform at scale. They realized they'd built infrastructure that was extremely hard to replicate and asked: "What if we offered it to others?" AWS became Amazon's most profitable business - not because they optimized their existing retail business, but because they turned an internal capability into a strategic platform. The software wasn't supporting the strategy - the software became the strategy. Compare this to companies that use software just for cost reduction or process optimization - they're playing defense. Software-native companies use software to play offense, creating capabilities that change the competitive landscape. Continuous strategy means your software capabilities and your business strategy evolve together, in real-time, not in annual planning cycles. Principle 5: Real-Time Observability and Adaptive Systems "Software-native organizations use telemetry and real-time analytics not just to understand their software, but to understand their entire business and adapt dynamically. Observability practices from DevOps are actually ways of managing software delivery itself. We're bootstrapping our own operating system for software businesses." This principle connects back to Principle 1 but takes it to the organizational level. The practice involves building systems that constantly sense what's happening and can adapt in real-time: deploy with feature flags so you can turn capabilities on/off instantly, use A/B testing not just for UI tweaks but for business model experiments, instrument everything so you know how users actually behave, and build feedback loops that let the system respond automatically. Social media companies and algorithmic trading firms already operate this way. Instagram doesn't deploy a new feed algorithm and wait six months to see if it works - they're constantly testing variations, measuring engagement in real-time, adapting the algorithm continuously. The system is sensing and responding every second. High-frequency trading firms make thousands of micro-adjustments per day based on market signals. Imagine applying this to all businesses: a retail company that adjusts pricing, inventory, and promotions in real-time based on demand signals; a healthcare system that dynamically reallocates resources based on patient flow patterns; a logistics company whose routing algorithms adapt to traffic, weather, and delivery success rates continuously. This is the future of software-native organizations - not just fast decision-making, but systems that sense and adapt at software speed, with humans setting goals and constraints but software executing continuous optimization. We're moving from "make a decision, deploy it, wait to see results" to "deploy multiple variants, measure continuously, let the system learn." This closes the loop back to Principle 1 - everything is an experiment, but now the experiments run automatically at scale with near real-time signal collection and decision making. It's Experiments All The Way Down "We established that software has become societal infrastructure. That software is different - it's not a construction project with a fixed endpoint; it's a living capability that evolves with the business." This five-episode series has built a complete picture: Episode 1 established that software is societal infrastructure and fundamentally different from traditional construction. Episode 2 diagnosed the problem - project management thinking treats software like building a bridge, creating cascade failures throughout organizations. Episode 3 showed that solutions already exist, with organizations like Spotify, Amazon, and Etsy practicing software-native development successfully. Episode 4 exposed the organizational immune system - the four barriers preventing transformation: the project mindset, funding models, business/IT separation, and risk management theater. Today's episode provides the blueprint - the five principles forming the operating system for software-native organizations. This isn't theory. This is how software-native organizations already operate. The question isn't whether this works - we know it does. The question is: how do you get started? The Next Step In Building A Software-Native Organization "This is how transformation starts - not with grand pronouncements or massive reorganizations, but with conversations and small experiments that compound over time. Software is too important to society to keep managing it wrong." Start this week by doing two things.  First, start a conversation: pick one of these five principles - whichever resonates most with your current challenges - and share it with your team or leadership. Don't present it as "here's what we should do" but as "here's an interesting idea - what would this mean for us?" That conversation will reveal where you are, what's blocking you, and what might be possible.  Second, run one small experiment: take something you're currently doing and frame it as an experiment with a clear goal, action, and learning measure. Make it small, make it fast - one week maximum, 24 hours if you can - then stop and learn. You now have the blueprint. You understand the barriers. You've seen the alternatives. The transformation is possible, and it starts with you.

Review of Chapter 2 of Beyond Behaviors by Mona Delahooke, PhD  "Social behavior and the capacity to manage challenge are dependent on the neural regulation of physiological state." S. Porges  Top Down or Bottom Up? "Before We Respond to Behavior, We Need to Understand Its Origin." With a deceptively simple observation, Dr. Delahooke reshapes the entire field of behavioral intervention: children's actions come from two very different places in the brain. Some behaviors are top-down, intentional, planned, thoughtful. But many, especially the ones adults find most perplexing, arise bottom-up from stress responses generated by the body's autonomic nervous system. We often think of this state in terms of fight or flight, however, it is not that simplistic. It is truly any significant response to the outside environment that leads to a neuroceptive reaction that is not governed by the neocortex, top down. If we don't distinguish the source, our interventions are guesswork at best and often counterproductive at worst. She illustrates this through a case, a child whose impulsive, disruptive behaviors were treated as failures of will or desire. School teachers and teams repeatedly urged him to “use his words,” as though language were a faucet he simply refused to turn on. What no one stopped to ask was the foundational question: Was his nervous system regulated enough to access language at all? Was he gated at the level of the amygdala blocking the ability to use his mind consciously and even have the opportunity to respond to a meaningful request?

Social connection.  Simply put, our brains need friends.  Neuroscientist Dr. Ben Rein reveals exactly what is happening in our brains when we interact with friends, family, even strangers, and how exactly this affects our physical and mental health… the many benefits of a good social life and the real risks of isolation and loneliness .   He also offers simple tips on how we can be more social and to make better use of one of the most powerful, easiest, and cheapest ways to a healthy, happy life.  (Hint: Next time you think you are too busy to call or text that friend…pick up the phone and connect).  For more information, transcripts, and all episodes, please visit https://thisisyourbrain.com   For more about Weill Cornell Medicine Neurological Surgery, please visit https://neurosurgery.weillcornell.org 

Send us a textNeurobiology of maternal care in mammals: hormonal influences, stress effects & a study on psilocybin's unexpected effects during the postpartum period.Topics Discussed:Maternal care behavior in rodents: Nursing, pup retrieval, grooming, and nest-building, essential for altricial pups' survival; conserved across mammals but varies by species.Hormonal changes in pregnancy: Estradiol and progesterone surge then drop at birth, crossing the blood-brain barrier to enable infant attraction and care via gene expression and neuroplasticity.Brain circuitry for parenting: Medial preoptic area acts as a central hub, coordinating motivation and sensory inputs; present in both sexes but activated differently by hormones and experience.Stress impacts on mothers: Social stressors like male intruders dysregulate care, leading to frantic behaviors and avoidance; models human psychosocial stress linked to postpartum mood disorders.Sex differences in pup care: Mothers groom male pups more, influencing sexual behaviors, which effects future behavior.Psilocybin in postpartum mice: Single dose increased anxiety in mothers, showed no antidepressant effects, and transferred via milk, causing long-term anhedonia and impairments in offspring as adults.Serotonin system development: Early exposure to serotonergic drugs like psilocybin or SSRIs alters lifelong behavior, highlighting sensitive periods in brain reorganization.Practical Takeaways:Reduce postpartum stress through social support to enhance maternal bonding and minimize mood disorder risks.Approach psychedelics cautiously during postpartum due to potential anxiety increases and offspring effects via milk.Recognize hormonal shifts heighten sensitivity to infant cues, aiding natural caregiving instincts.Monitor environmental factors like food availability or threats that could disrupt parental behaviors in high-stress scenarios.About the guest: Danielle Stolzenberg, PhD is an associate professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis, where her lab studies the neurobiology of maternal care.Reference Paper:Study: Psilocybin during the postpartum period induces long-lasting adverse effects in both mothers and offspringRelated Episode:Support the showAffiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

Send us a textIn Part 2 of our series on John B. McLendon, we move from the "Secret Game" of the 1940s to the public dominance of the 1950s. In 1954, McLendon arrived at the NAIA tournament in Kansas City with a non-negotiable demand: his team would eat in the same restaurants and sleep in the same hotels as the white teams.This episode covers the rise of Tennessee A&I (now Tennessee State), the first college basketball team in history to win three consecutive national championships (1957-1959).In this episode:The Ultimatum: How McLendon used the NAIA tournament to force the integration of Kansas City hotels and restaurants in 1954.The Dynasty: The story of the first college "Three-Peat," led by the legendary Dick Barnett and his "Fallback Baby" jump shot.The Cost of Integration: How the success of HBCUs led to Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs) recruiting Black talent, draining the very programs that built it.Breaking Barriers: McLendon becoming the first African American head coach of a pro team (Cleveland Pipers) and a PWI (Cleveland State).From the NAIA tournament to the birth of the fast break as a global standard, this is how the "side door" became the front door.Support the showDid you know we are one of the Top 30 Collage Podcasts in the World! https://podcast.feedspot.com/college_basketball_podcasts/?feedid=5529823&_src=f1_featured_email Support the Pod or Binge the Entire Season Now! https://www.buzzsprout.com/1269236/support https://youtube.com/@IconicSeasons Connect on Social https://www.instagram.com/ncaaiconicseasons/

Season 5, Episode 703: Dive into an exhilarating conversation with the multi-talented Reagan Fox, an award-nominated actress and passionate advocate for mental health in the adult industry. In this episode, we explore Reagan's journey from a shy individual to a celebrated performer, discussing her impressive nominations for Best Actress and her role as an ambassador for Pineapple Support, an organization dedicated to providing mental health resources for adult performers. Reagan shares her experiences navigating the complexities of the adult film industry, including the challenges of being shadow banned and the importance of authenticity in her performances. We delve into her thoughts on ageism in the industry, her personal growth, and how she balances her career with her role as a mother. With candid discussions about the stigma surrounding sexuality and the role of sex toys in personal empowerment, this episode is packed with insight and inspiration. Join us as we celebrate Reagan's achievements, her passion for acting, and her commitment to supporting fellow performers. This is a conversation you won't want to miss! Highlights:  You're the fourth performer to ever get two best actress nominations The award season for both XMA and AVN starts in January How did you get into camming? Was it a surprise to you Started at such a later age You want that genuine feel when you're acting, right What are your favorite scenes to film? You know, it's kind of interesting Do you feel like you putting your content out there is a challenge You are an ambassador for Pineapple Support, an anti-suicide and mental health organization X Biz Business Executive Award Is there anything you've done that you kind of regret? Do you enjoy doing the scenes or does it feel more like work? So are you a sex toy fan and do you have a favorite? People who are disabled can use sex toys, right? Yes. People, no people, should not feel ashamed of buying them, they are simply tools Do you have anything coming up beyond the awards season? Do you find where you have to work a ton or you can be selective? Do you feel like you've got a good base of content? Do you do a workout plan to keep yourself the way you want to be? What are some hobbies that you have that people may not know? We've just had a cold snap here. Yeah, it's cold. So we like, we're below zero... Do you have anything fun you do for Christmas that you'd like to share? Do you get recognized a lot when you're out and about? Where can people find you if they want to find your content? Instagram Reaganfoxx, on X The Reagan Foxx? Are you going to completely be done doing this and retire? Key takeaways: • Reagan entered adult entertainment through camming after her family's appraisal business collapsed during the 2008 housing crisis—a career pivot driven by economic necessity rather than long-term ambition. • She intentionally avoids rewatching her own performances to preserve authenticity in acting and maintain psychological distance from her work. • Social media platforms selectively censor sexual education content from adult performers and other educators while permitting other provocative material in ads for businesses, creating inconsistent standards that Reagan and Ruan both view as highyly hypocritical, biased, and unfair, and violating the First Amendment right to free speech in the US.

This research examines the psychological impact of saturation diving, proposing an "Underview Effect" similar to the cognitive shifts experienced by astronauts in space. By interviewing aquanauts who lived in undersea habitats, the authors identified themes of awe, tranquility, and flow that arise from extended immersion in a high-pressure environment. Participants reported a heightened sense of planetary fragility and a deep interconnectedness with marine ecosystems, often viewing the ocean as a complex, living "home base" rather than a foreign workspace. While the experience involves significant physical hardship and sensory changes, it frequently results in a long-lasting environmental stewardship and a transformed scientific perspective. Ultimately, the study suggests that this profound submerged experience can reshape human relationships with the natural world and inspire pro-environmental behaviors.#UnderviewEffect #SaturationDiving #AquanautPsychology #UnderseaAwe #PsychologicalImpactOfDiving #FlowStateUnderwater #AweAndTranquility #OceanStewardship #MarineInterconnectedness #PlanetaryFragility #ProEnvironmentalBehavior #TransformedByTheDeep #OceanAsHomehttp://atlantisseacolony.com/https://www.patreon.com/atlantisseacolonyhttps://discord.gg/jp5aSSkfNS

This expansive and deeply reflective episode features Anne-Sophie Flury — neuroscientist, psychology graduate, former PhD researcher, and wellness educator — whose work bridges hard science with lived human experience. Known online as “Coochie by Gucci,” Anne-Sophie brings rare honesty and intellectual clarity to conversations about the brain, trauma, intuition, and emotional agency.Rhona and Payman explore Anne-Sophie's unconventional academic journey, from leaving a business degree for psychology to working in experimental neuroscience and neuropsychopharmacology alongside leading researchers. Together, they unpack why understanding the brain isn't enough — and how learning that the brain can change became the turning point in Anne-Sophie's own mental health and sense of agency.The conversation moves fluidly through modern overwhelm: social media burnout, dopamine addiction, emotional over-identification, and the spiritualisation of feelings. Anne-Sophie offers a grounded, science-based perspective on meditation, psychedelics, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation — cutting through both clinical detachment and performative spirituality.What emerges is a powerful discussion about responsibility without shame, emotional awareness without indulgence, and why separating yourself from your thoughts may be the most liberating skill of all.In This Episode00:00:25 – Returning to Mind Movers & meeting Anne-Sophie00:01:45 – From business to psychology: finding intellectual purpose00:04:15 – Neuroscience, VR research & leaving the PhD00:07:20 – Failure, resilience & unconventional career pivots00:08:30 – “Coochie by Gucci”: identity, grief & online personas00:10:20 – Social media, activism & burnout00:12:30 – Doomscrolling, empathy fatigue & loss of motivation00:14:40 – Perfection culture, comparison & digital disconnection00:18:45 – Psychology vs neuroscience: understanding the brain00:20:05 – Psychedelics, policy & political suppression00:23:00 – What psychedelics actually do to the brain00:27:20 – Mental health, loneliness & early emotional struggles00:30:40 – The moment everything changed: “I can change my brain”00:31:50 – Meditation, neuroplasticity & emotional regulation00:34:00 – Agency, awareness & visualising a different life00:36:00 – Relationships, values & evolving identities00:38:10 – Can core values really change?00:40:10 – Trauma, intuition & emotional misinterpretation00:42:25 – Are we over-validating emotions?00:44:30 – Spiritual bypassing vs real growth00:45:00 – Float tanks, meditation & separating from thought00:48:20 – Anxiety vs intuition: learning the differenceAbout Anne-Sophie FluryAnne-Sophie Flury is a neuroscience and psychology specialist whose work focuses on emotional regulation, nervous system awareness, and personal agency. After completing a psychology degree, a master's in experimental neuroscience, and publishing research during her PhD, she stepped away from academia to make science accessible in the real world.Blending research, lived experience, and practical tools, Anne-Sophie helps people understand not just why they feel the way they do — but how to change it. Her work challenges emotional fatalism, encourages responsibility without self-blame, and reframes mental health as something dynamic rather than fixed.

At its core, there's a phenomenon some analysts call "anger privilege." This isn't just about who *gets* to be angry, but whose anger is deemed inherently righteous, whose demands are accepted without question, and whose very emotion is weaponized to silence opposition. For marginalized groups, anger is often a powerful, necessary response to systemic oppression—a "prophetic rage" against structural injustice.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/racism-white-privilege-in-america--4473713/support.

Episode Summary: Christmas is often called the most wonderful time of the year, yet for many, it’s also one of the most exhausting. Between the holiday to-do lists, family obligations, and the weight of expectations - both our own and others’- this season can leave us physically weary, emotionally drained, and even spiritually depleted. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you are not alone. Today, we’re talking about how to release those expectations, embrace true rest in Christ, and find renewal in Him. If your soul feels weary, this conversation is especially for you. Today we’ll be talking about Hope for the Weary Soul. Quotables from the episode: It’s no surprise that Christmas can leave us feeling depleted. We put pressure on ourselves to create the perfect holiday - perfect gifts, perfect décor, perfect meals and table settings, and perfect gatherings. Social media only adds to this burden, making it seem like everyone else has it all together. But the truth is, exhaustion isn’t just about being physically tired. It’s about the weight we carry in our hearts - disappointment, grief, unmet expectations, and the struggle to meet everyone’s needs, often while neglecting our own. Jesus knew we would experience this. That’s why in Matthew 11:28, He says, Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. He invites us to exchange our striving for His peace. But that requires us to let go of what we were never meant to carry in the first place. If you’re feeling weary, I encourage you to take a moment and ask yourself: What am I holding onto that God never asked me to carry? Maybe it’s the expectation of making everyone happy. Maybe it’s guilt over what you can’t do. Maybe it’s the grief of a loved one who isn’t here this Christmas. Whatever it is, the first step toward rest is recognizing what is making us weary and laying it at Jesus’ feet. Christmas is a busy time with many annual traditions and expectations. Others have expectations of us, we have expectations of others, and we have expectations of ourselves. As a result, sadly, it’s a recipe for failure. Part of the problem with expectations is that it’s impossible to meet unvoiced expectations. Everyone’s picture of the holiday varies. Some celebrate with family on Christmas Eve, others celebrate on Christmas. Some families draw names for gifts and possibly set a monetary limit, while other families give gifts to everyone. Some families get up early while others sleep in late. There is as much variability to the who, what, when, and where of the celebration as there are people celebrating. So how do we actually release those expectations? It starts with shifting our perspective. The world tells us Christmas is about performance, about how much we do, how beautiful we make it, how much we give. But God’s Word tells us something different. Christmas is about receiving. Receiving the greatest gift of all, Jesus Christ. Martha was distracted by all the preparations, while Mary sat at Jesus’ feet, simply being with Him. And what did Jesus say? Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Does that ever sound like you? I’ve certainly been guilty. This season, instead of being like Martha - running from one thing to the next, trying to make everything perfect, and meet a list of unspoken expectations - what if we chose to be like Mary? What if we sat at His feet, even in the middle of the chaos, and let His presence be enough? One practical way to do this is by setting boundaries. Say no to the things that drain you. Say yes to the things that nourish your soul. You don’t have to attend every event, bake every cookie, or create a Pinterest-worthy Christmas. Choose rest. Choose Jesus. Releasing expectations is only part of the equation. True renewal comes when we replace striving with abiding. John 15:4 says, Abide in me, and I in you. When we stay connected to Jesus, He renews our strength. One way to abide in Him this Christmas is by spending time in His Word. Even if it’s just a few minutes a day, let Scripture be your source of renewal. Isaiah 40:31 reminds us, Those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint. When we take time to be with God, He refreshes our weary souls. Christmas isn’t about what we do. It’s about what’s already been done for us through Christ. No matter how much is on your plate, you don’t have to carry it alone. Jesus came to bring us peace, not pressure. So this Christmas, let’s step out of striving and into His rest. Prayer for the Weary Soul Heavenly Father, we come before You weary, but we know that You are our source of strength. Help us release the burdens we were never meant to carry and rest in Your perfect peace. Teach us to abide in You, to embrace Your presence above all else, and to find renewal in Your love. Thank You for the gift of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. In His name, we pray. Amen. Scripture References: Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Luke 10:38-42 tells the story of Mary and Martha. “Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word. But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me.” But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” John 15:4 says, Abide in me, and I in you. Isaiah 40:31 reminds us, Those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.

In this episode of My Weekly Mixtape, I spotlight 10 cover songs released this year that turn already familiar tunes into something fresh, unexpected, and conversation-worthy.Cover songs have always been a litmus test for creativity — and something I've always had a personal affinity for — but in 2025, artists are pushing reinterpretation further than ever. By reworking melodies, reshaping arrangements, and reframing the overall vibe, these versions give the originals entirely new meanings. This episode breaks down why these performances resonated, how they differ from (or pay homage to) the originals, and what makes a great cover song connect with fans today!

Pour les vacances d'hiver, je vous propose de (re)découvrir quelques épisodes passés de Demain N'attend Pas que j'ai tout particulièrement aimé. Cette semaine découvrez une discussion avec l'extraordinaire MARIE ROBERT, philosophe, autrice et fondatrice d'école MontessoriJe vous souhaite de très belles fêtes de fin d'année.Il y a des personnes qui font du bien.Par leur pleine présence, leur intelligence, leur générosité, leur bon sens ... les mots qu'ils disent ou qu'ils écrivent raisonnent en nous profondément et longtemps ! Marie Robert fait parti de ces personnes. Vous la suivez peut-être sur les réseaux. Elle nous offre tous les matins un billet doux, qui pose une réflexion sur la société, une intention ou un souhait. J'attends cette lecture. Elle a parfois fait bouger ma façon d'être au monde.  Alors, aujourd'hui, je suis très heureuse de partager avec vous ma discussion avec Marie Robert. Cette conversation raisonnera longtemps à mes oreilles. Je vous encourage vraiment à l'écouter jusqu'au bout. On y évoque beaucoup de sujets : on parle éducation bien sur, puisque Marie dirige un groupe d'écoles, on discute de la façon de trouver notre juste place et de tisser des liens durables, on s'arrête sur l'action, l'engagement et le désir de réparer le monde, par les petits gestes comme par les grands, chacun à son niveau, avec humilité, comme un remède à l'anxiété et une façon de ne pas céder au découragement.  Ensemble, on s'interroge : la douceur est-elle un acte révolutionnaire ? Nos outils n'ont jamais été aussi efficaces, mais loin de nous avoir libérés, cette efficacité a augmenté les attentes et la charge. Emails, WhatsApp, texto, messages sur LinkedIn, sur Instagram, sur X… il nous faut répondre à tout et à tous, de façon instantanée. La technologie a décloisonné nos vies professionnelles et personnelles, et la même exigence s'impose partout dans un flux informationnel incessant. Nos gestes professionnels sont optimisés et nos loisirs se doivent d'être performants.A force de courir et de manquer de temps, nous agissons de façon transactionnelle, au travail comme en amitié, au détriment de nos liens affectifs. Et nous ressentons une grande fatigue. Quel espace nous reste-t-il pour penser ? Pour être présent pour ceux que nous aimons ? Pour nous reconnecter à nos désirs et nos envies ?  Marie a beaucoup réfléchi à la façon dont ce nouveau rapport au temps transforme radicalement nos liens. Elle appelle à remettre du sens, de l'intention et de la conscience dans nos métiers et dans le quotidien de nos vies.  Cette conversation m'a beaucoup émue.  Si l'épisode vous plait, n'hésitez pas à le faire passer autour de vous. Et pour poursuivre le plaisir, plongez-vous dans le livre de Marie “Le miracle du réconfort" et suivez-la sur les réseaux pour vous lover dans ses écris quotidiens.

In today's digital world, social media isn't just an optional add-on for brands — it's a core channel for communication, community building, and growth. But with shifting platforms, ever-changing algorithms, and higher audience expectations, simply “being on” social media isn't enough. Growing brands need strategy, consistency, and expert support to stand out. In this episode, I'll walk you through why outsourcing to a social media marketing agency can be a game-changer — and when it might be time to make that move.

Pool Pros text questions hereIn this episode, Natalie Hood sits down with Ryan Walker to unpack how retail sales in the pool industry have evolved over the last two decades—and what dealers, builders, and retailers need to understand to stay competitive today.From the rise of online shopping and social media influence to changing homeowner expectations and shifting economic realities, this conversation challenges long-held myths about retail, sales strategy, and customer behavior. Ryan draws on 20 years of experience across lifeguarding, distribution, manufacturing representation, and national sales to explain why the future of pool retail isn't about fighting online competition—but learning how to work alongside it.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeRetail Isn't Dead—It's EvolvingRyan explains why online sales are no longer the enemy of brick-and-mortar stores and how retailers can use online visibility as a tool rather than a threat. Homeowners today expect convenience, information, and options—and stores that adapt win loyalty.Why Personal Service Still WinsDespite access to Amazon, TikTok, and Instagram, customers are still willing to pay more for expertise, education, and a trusted relationship. Retailers who focus on solving problems—not just selling products—stand out.The Power of Analytics, Algorithms, and Social MediaFrom phones “listening” to user behavior to influencers shaping purchasing decisions, Natalie and Ryan break down how digital marketing now drives customer expectations before they ever walk into a store.Selling the Solution, Not the ProductRyan emphasizes that customers don't need technical jargon—they need someone who understands their pain points. Whether it's water loss, recurring algae, or sanitizer confusion, great sales start with the right questions.Breaking the ‘We've Always Done It This Way' MindsetLong-standing habits can quietly cap growth. This episode explores how flexibility, testing new ideas, and being open to global trends can increase profitability without sacrificing integrity.Why Dealers Must Show What's PossibleJust like car dealerships show upgraded models, pool professionals should present options—even if the customer thinks they want the “basic” version. Many homeowners don't know what's available until someone shows them.Economic Reality Has ChangedFrom rising costs to dual-income households and post-COVID income shifts, the conversation highlights why price sensitivity isn't what it used to be—and why experience and value matter more than shaving a few dollars off the ticket.Key Takeaways• Online competition is unavoidable—but it can be leveraged • Education and trust justify premium pricing • Customers want guidance, not resistance • Social media shapes expectations before the sale • Retail success depends on adaptability and curiosity • Selling without passion turns stores into warehousesAbout the GuestRyan Walker brings more than 20 years of industry experience, starting as a lifeguard and facility manager before moving into distribution, manufacturing representation, and national sales. His career spans multiple climates, pool types, and retail models, giving him a wide-angle view of what works—and what doesn't—in today's poo Support the showThank you so much for listening!

Ali Truwit didn't know if she would survive. Shortly after graduating from Yale, where she was a competitive swimmer, she was on vacation when she was attacked by a shark. Thanks to her incredible strength and the quick actions of her friends—one of whom applied a life-saving tourniquet—Ali survived, though she lost her lower leg in the attack. And now? She's a two-time Paralympic silver medalist and amputee who has turned a senseless tragedy into a powerful mission of hope. Ali shares her remarkable journey of recovery, from the early days of facing a debilitating fear of water to becoming an American record holder and medaling at the Paris Paralympics. We discuss everything from the power of community and support systems to the "stronger than you think" philosophy that led to the creation of her nonprofit and documentary. IN THIS EPISODE The emotional experience of running the NYC Marathon with her support system The details of the shark attack and the heroic actions of her friend, Sophie Learning to find hope and joy after trauma The "permission to feel and intention to reset" strategy Redefining what's possible in a "new body" The mission behind her nonprofit, Stronger Than You Think Representing the Paralympic movement in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit and in her work as a Nike athlete QUOTABLE MOMENTS On Mindset and Resilience "The message that we're stronger than we think is for everyone. We all go through hard times and trauma and hardship and I think that message that you have more in you is something that I hope everyone sees." "If you ask 'why me?' ... make sure you're asking it in both directions." "Our fears and our feelings are not facts." On the Power of Community "Community really is so important. I think about my journey as a testament to the power of community and support." "There really is no wrong form of support. Whatever you have to give, whenever you have to give it, matters and moves the person forward." On Growth and New Beginnings "I'm swimming faster than I ever swam in certain events with two legs. It's a message to myself of what is still possible for me in this new body." "I can take this bad, senseless trauma that happened to me and use it for good." "It's just as likely that things can go better than you expect than it is that they might not go well at all."
