Creating The Life You Haven't Lived Yet In the last FMQ, I talked about the idea that there's a book inside you. In this episode, I take that idea further. Because here's what I truly believe… You're already writing your life. One page at a time. One day at a time. The question is — are you writing it consciously? In this episode I guide you through a creative visualisation process that helps you: Step out of "life just happening" Stop letting other people write your chapters Feel your future before it physically exists Align your unconscious mind with what you truly want Take one small, powerful step forward This isn't about pretending the past didn't happen. It's about deciding what happens next. And you don't have to be 100% ready. You just have to start. What We Do Together In This Episode I guide you into a relaxed, curious state. You sit at a desk. There's a book in front of you called: My Life, My Adventure. The past chapters are written. You acknowledge them. You thank them. And then… You begin writing the next chapter. Not perfectly. Not dramatically. Just intentionally. You float outside yourself. You see yourself writing. You feel support from the people who care about you. You see yourself through loving eyes. And then you ask one powerful question: What small step can I take now? Because the magic isn't in dreaming. It's in deciding. What I Want You To Take From This You are not stuck. You are not finished. You are not defined by previous chapters. Responsibility is not blame — it's power. Your future starts now. And remember… Even if you do nothing differently today — you're still writing a page. So why not write it on purpose? If This Resonates Subscribe.

With the development of automatic speech recognition has come a new type of technology, designed to give the user advice on how to speak better. In this episode, we talk with Nicole Holliday (University of California, Berkeley) about some of the issues that can arise with the use of these technologies, from their nebulous definitions of "good communication" to the impact they could have at businesses that use these technology to evaluate employees.Associated paper: Nicole R.

In this Artist Journal solo episode of She's All Over the Place, host Katie Chonacas reflects on psychological isolation—the experience of emotional and social disconnection that can exist even in the presence of others. Inspired by Brené Brown's work on belonging and disconnection, this episode explores how psychological isolation develops, why it can become long-standing, and how it quietly erodes our sense of safety, connection, and self-trust. Katie shares a personal reflection on emotional isolation, social withdrawal, and the loss of belonging, offering language and awareness for an experience many feel but rarely name. This episode is for anyone who has felt: Emotionally disconnected despite being "around people" A loss of belonging or relational safety Socially present but internally isolated Unsure how disconnection became so persistent Stay Connected with me: https://www.chonacas.com/links/
Em Burnip is passionate about nature and the environment and when her daughter Grace was born she matched her business skills with her values to create Eco Wedding Festivals.But taking control of her own career path was less straightforward than simply setting up an eco-business while she was on maternity leave. She had developed a secure, good, if not always satisfying, career as a personal assistant and events executive for a Big 4 consulting firm for 17 years, with a special interest in sustainability. Her efforts to get into a sustainability-led role were always thwarted, however, until she was given a nudge to find her own niche as an eco-entrepreneur. With a small child to consider she paused before making taking a leap and making the necessary sacrifices to move forward.Em advises people who want to secure a green job or to become an eco-entrepreneur to first find out what they are good at, to put in research and start connecting with people in the field they want to work in. From her own viewpoint, while she is passionate about nature and biodiversity, she considered where her skills and training would be best used, knowing that she didn't want to spend the rest of her working life in a job she didn't enjoy. As she puts it: “At what point do I go for something that I really believe in and love?” Having her daughter Grace put perspective around that decision, as she considered what she would say to her own child when she was making future career choices. “I'd rather she was happy in a job and loved it than earning lots and not being happy,” says Em, who gives credit to Helen Jennings-Petz and Kerry North for the nudges and support. Grace, now aged 10, currently wants to be a marine biologist. Em talks about the importance of teaching young children about the environment in a way that doesn't scare them. She believes in helping people discover the green jobs they'll find in every sector and she volunteers at an eco learning charity, Greener Stourport, and completed a course in environmental studies at the Open University. Em explains that as people are becoming more eco-conscious, they are demanding more sustainable choices to spend their own money on. But weddings are notoriously expensive and it is possible to buy cheap unsustainable alternatives online. She delivers the shocking statistic that the average UK wedding has a carbon footprint similar to the annual footprint of a UK family of four – and there are around a quarter of a million weddings in the UK alone.Em encourages couples who want to put the planet on their guest list to come to one of her Eco Wedding Festivals to speak to eco-friendly, ethical businesses as they showcase their offerings. Done right, it makes for a music-filled fun day out with sample food from caterers, displays from florists, and a chance to meet sustainable suppliers in beautiful venues.

We've all heard that the early bird gets the worm. But research shows that birds dining early and heavily may lower their life expectancy. Socially dominant birds stay lean (and agile at avoiding predators) during the day, and then stoke up later, before a cold night. Subordinate birds have to look for food whenever and wherever they can find it, and carry fat on their bodies to hedge against unpredictable rations.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

This episode is for the parent quietly watching from the sidelines, wondering if their child is falling behind socially—or if they're the only one who seems worried about it. We step into those moments where your kid hangs back, plays alone, gravitates toward adults, or misses social cues, and we slow the whole story down. Instead of rushing to labels or fixes, this conversation reframes social “lag” as temperament, context, and skill development unfolding on its own timeline. We explore how easily our own childhood wounds sneak into our fears, how extroversion gets mistaken for health, and why opting out isn't the same thing as being excluded. Most of all, this episode offers relief: a way to see your child more clearly, respond with curiosity instead of panic, and trust that many of the traits that worry us at six can become strengths later—if we don't shame them out of existence first.

As humans, our songs tell the story of our hearts. This soundtrack has three songs… 1. The Declaration of Defeat v.1-3 -Babylon represents the total culture of the world apart from God. 2. The Weeping of the Wicked v.9-19 - Kings – Those in power - Merchants – Those in business -Seafarers – Those in logistics 3. The Call to Come Out! v.4-8 The call to come out of Babylon is a timeless message to the people of God NOT to participate in the worldly behavior of those who embrace wickedness Association leads to participation Be IN the world but not OF the world Why come out of Babylon? So you don't commit her sins So you don't receive her punishment Come out of Babylon... Spiritually – nothing matters more than HIM Emotionally – overall attitude and identity Physically – taking care of your temple Sexually – eyes, body, spouse Relationally – do they see HIM in you Socially – personal faith = public difference Professionally – your “why” at work is HIM
We live in a society where excuses get celebrated more than effort. People defend laziness, justify bad habits, and attack anyone who tells the truth. In this episode, I break down why excuses are socially accepted now — and how to rise above the culture of comfort.
Post Malone Biography Flash a weekly Biography.Hey babes, it's Roxie Rush, your AI oracle of celeb chaos, which is fabulous for you because I never sleep, I don't forget receipts, and I can scan a whole lot of headlines faster than you can say “White Iverson.”Let's dive into the latest chapter of the Post Malone saga. In the past few days, the big, shiny, long‑term headline is that Post is gearing up for **not one but potentially two albums in 2026**, solidifying this new country era as a full‑blown reinvention, not a fling. American Songwriter reports that on a recent Twitch stream, he told fans there's a real chance we're getting two albums in 2026 if everything goes his way, and he emphasized how seriously he takes the history and traditions of country music. That's not just a vibe shift, that's a biographical pivot point: Posty moving from pop‑rap superstar to country mainstay.Country outlets like Kicks 99 go even further, noting industry speculation that two separate projects are in motion, with producer Derek Wells saying the new material leans even deeper into traditional country textures like fiddle, pedal steel, and guitar‑forward arrangements. According to that coverage, insiders expect one project to go full classic country, with influences like George Jones and George Strait, while another may be more hybrid or collaborative. Some chatter even hints at a potential Jelly Roll duets project; that part is still in the realm of speculation, but the broader pattern is confirmed: Post is planting his flag in Nashville, not just passing through.On the business and brand side, local Texas outlet KCEN News reports that Post Malone has just been announced as the new face of the iconic “Don't Mess With Texas” anti‑littering campaign, tied to its 40th anniversary. That's a major public‑image move: home‑state hero, cleaned‑up cowboy aesthetic, and a mainstream civic role that will likely define how middle America sees him for years.Zooming out, Front of House Magazine recently broke down his massive touring success, with his recent North America and UK/Europe runs pulling in well over two hundred million dollars, confirming that this country‑leaning rebrand is not hurting box office at all; it's powering it.Socially, he's been engaging fans via Twitch streams, where he games, chats, and teases new music, making that platform a key part of his current public presence. Beyond that, any rumored tracklists, secret collabs, or surprise drops floating around stan spaces right now are unconfirmed and should be treated as fan speculation until backed by major outlets or official posts.I'm Roxie Rush, this has been “Post Malone – Biography Flash.” Thank you for listening, and make sure you subscribe so you never miss an update on Post Malone.

What does it really mean to build a village, and to be a good villager, in a world where so many of us feel tired, lonely, and stretched thin?In this episode, we welcome back licensed clinical counselor Kelly Martincin for a thoughtful conversation about connection, boundaries, and the quiet work of showing up for one another. Together, we unpack the idea that while many of us long for community, being part of a village requires intention, vulnerability, and a willingness to be a little inconvenienced.From chronic loneliness and unmet expectations to self-care, community care, and redefining what support can look like, Kelly offers grounded insight into how relationships actually grow. This conversation may resonate especially with listeners who feel socially drained, overwhelmed, or overstimulated, whether due to personality, season of life, or mental health challenges. Ultimately, Kelly reminds us that villages aren’t built through grand gestures, but through presence, grace, and small moments of courage, even when it feels hard. Let's Connect!

Sissy Goff and David Thomas kick off a new series by exploring five things kids need most socially right now. Drawing from decades of counseling experience and current research, they unpack why today's kids are struggling with civility, empathy, reciprocity, belonging, and real-time social practice. They discuss how screens, cultural tone, and isolation are shaping kids' relationships—and offer practical, doable ways parents can help at home, from modeling kind disagreement to creating opportunities for face-to-face connection. This hopeful, practical conversation reminds parents that social skills are built through practice, and that small, intentional shifts can make a meaningful difference in kids' lives.

We're diving into Disney behaviors that should absolutely be socially accepted everywhere, because somehow the parks figured out how humans actually want to function… and then we all had to go back home. From skipping lines like a pro to paying for everything with your wrist, Disney has quietly raised our expectations for daily life — and we're not mad about it.We're counting down our favorite habits, systems, and quirks that feel perfectly normal inside the Disney bubble but earn you very strange looks anywhere else. Things like Lightning Lanes for everyday errands, posted wait times for places that desperately need them (looking at you, DMV), mobile ordering everything, and treating Cast Members — aka employees — like the absolute legends they are.We'll also talk about why these ideas actually make sense, how they could lower stress, save time, and maybe even make people a little nicer to each other. Shocking concept, right? This episode is lighthearted, relatable, and guaranteed to have you saying, “Why don't we do it this way?”No trip planning, no ride rankings — just a fun, slightly chaotic look at how Disney logic might secretly be the blueprint for a better real world. And yes… Lightning Lanes is our hill to die on.
As I was listening to an episode of the Ludology podcast recently, one focused on games and health, I started to think about how much the people we play with influence our gameplay experience. Selecting board games based on the audience is much more important than we may like to believe. Get it wrong, and you have one player rebelling and playing opposite to expectations, another disengaging completely, and the overall mood shifting from playful enjoyment to uncomfortable tension. In this article, I want to discuss how a mismatch can impact the enjoyment of the whole group, alter the tone of reviews, and even affect playtest outcomes.Read the full article here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/12/30/socially-afflicted-how-people-affect-gameplay-experience-topic-discussion/Useful LinksLudology podcast episode 351, Better Health Through Gaming: https://ludology.libsyn.com/ludology-351-better-health-through-gamingPandemic review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2020/01/18/pandemic-saturday-review/Amit Bar's and Tobias Otterbring's study “The role of culture and personality traits in board game habits and attitudes” in the Journal of Retailing and Consumer Services: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0969698921000722Qian Zhang's, JiaLe Ruan's and DingYong Xiong's study “Differential effects of exposure to cooperative versus competitive games on sharing behavior in young children" in Frontiers in Psychiatry: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12268353/Bez Shahriari's reflections on playtesting behaviour: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bez_ShahriariBoard Game Design Lab: https://boardgamedesignlab.com/Mahiro Egashira's, Daisuke Son's and Arisa Ema's study “Serious Game for Change in Behavioral Intention Toward Lifestyle Related Diseases” in JMIR Serious Games: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35188465/Ramy Hammady's and Sylvester Arnab's review “Serious Gaming for Behaviour Change, A Systematic Review” in Information: https://www.mdpi.com/2078-2489/13/3/142MusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/)Music: "Epic Inspiration" by AShamaluevMusic.Website: https://www.ashamaluevmusic.comMusic: "Galaxy" by AShamaluevMusic.Website: https://www.ashamaluevmusic.comMusic: "Legend" by AShamaluevMusic.Website: https://www.ashamaluevmusic.comSupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlogPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblogWebsite: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/

Peso Pluma BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.According to LAist, earlier this week I lit up SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, drawing tens of thousands of fans who turned the venue into a showcase of regional Mexican fashion and a snapshot of where música mexicana now sits in global pop. LAist describes the crowd as a sea of jerseys, custom boots, and glittered fits, the kind of visual moment that will linger in future documentaries about this genre's crossover era. In industry circles, Hits Daily Double reports that Live Nation executive Jorge Garcia is already looking past my forced downtime and factoring a full Peso Pluma return into 2026 North American touring plans, grouping me with Fuerza Regida as an anchor for the next wave of large-scale Latin tours, a sign that promoters still see me as a long-term stadium draw.Rolling Stone, via an analysis highlighted on IMDb, recently revisited the cartel threat saga that has shadowed several Mexican acts, noting that I have previously received narco-style warnings similar to those aimed at Grupo Firme and Junior H and treating these messages as a serious security concern under active investigation by authorities. Those pieces frame my career inside the larger risk calculus of performing corridos in certain Mexican regions, a storyline likely to stick in any future biography. None of the major outlets in the last few days have reported new threats or cancellations tied to me, so any chatter on fan accounts about fresh warnings should be considered unconfirmed at this time.On the recording side, the Los Angeles Times' De Los vertical name-checks me in a 2025 roundup by praising songwriter Neton Vega and pointing out that he has penned hits for crossover artists including Peso Pluma, cementing my role as one of the standard-bearers of corridos tumbados in this decade's Latin canon. Celebrity sites like CelebHarbor continue to push evergreen pieces pegging my 2025 age, net worth, and global streaming dominance; those are more profile maintenance than real news, but they reinforce the narrative that my catalog, not just the headlines, is what keeps me in the conversation. Socially, the breakup storyline with Nicki Nicole that outlets like AOL covered earlier in the year still echoes across fan pages, though in the past few days there have been no fresh, verifiable developments on that front, only speculative gossip that reputable news organizations have not confirmed.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Peso Pluma BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.I am Biosnap AI, and over the past few days Peso Pluma has been closing out the year in full superstar mode, mixing hard business moves with fan hysteria and a touch of lingering controversy. Rolling Stone, via a pickup summarized by IMDb News, reports that he has just dropped a new single titled Gervonta, his first fresh release since his fourth album Exodo earlier this year, a flex-heavy corrido tumbado named after boxer Gervonta Davis and packed with lyrics about private jets, shiny watches, and the high life. The single not only keeps him in constant rotation but also reinforces the persona that has defined his 2024 and now edges into the new year: a regional Mexican kingpin living like a global rap star, which is likely to matter long term in how his biography frames the crossover of corridos into mainstream pop culture.Onstage, the last few days have underlined that status. LAist reports that he just sold out two nights at YouTube Theater in Inglewood, where fans from across Southern California turned the shows into a full-blown cultural event, calling him everything from the contemporary version of Los Tigres del Norte to the face of a new Mexican pride moment in the U.S. One fan quoted by LAist compared the way he is filling arenas and uniting generations to a revolution in Mexican music, a framing that, if it holds, will be written into every future career retrospective. Separately, AOL recently described his arena level presence and quoted a fan calling him the Mexican Elvis, a dramatic line but one that signals how media and audiences are starting to mythologize him in real time.On the industry side, Hits Daily Double's New Music Friday rundown notes him on playlists alongside major Anglo pop and hip hop releases, a quiet but important sign that programmers are treating him as a core global act rather than a niche regional star. Socially, Gervonta got an extra jolt of gossip value when Gervonta Davis himself posted the single artwork on Instagram, effectively giving Peso Pluma a boxer cosign and feeding fan speculation about deeper ties between the two; for now, there is no verified business or personal partnership beyond that public nod. Earlier cartel related threats and cancellations, widely reported months ago by outlets like TMZ and others, continue to haunt the narrative around his security, but there have been no new confirmed incidents in the past few days, only the steady march of sold out shows, new music, and a growing sense that Peso Pluma is solidifying his place as the defining corridos tumbaos star of his generation.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
You know, one way to view academia in today's economy is to see it as a platform for creators. A lot of people don't understand this, but platforms like YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn—they're modeled after universities. All universities are, quote unquote, platforms. They connect people who want to create things. And that content looks different in every domain.In mine, it's research papers. In yours, it might be music, art, or a new idea no one's seen before. But here's the thing most people won't tell you: being a creator is a miserable process. Ask anyone who's built something—really built it. It's mentally grueling. Socially painful. Everyone who's done it says: don't do it. Because it's hard. And no one cares. Until they do.So why do it?Because the misery means you're actually making something real. Because we've built these imperfect platforms not to remove the pain—but to share it. To give each other a shot at surviving the creative journey. And maybe even thriving.Would I choose another path? No. Even on the worst days. Because this—this struggle—is still the only thing that feels worth doing.And maybe, if we keep showing up, we'll build something that matters.

Sep. 18 (9:52 pm PDT, 1°23' Libra- Gemini). The desire to feel free to say exactly what's on our mind can lead to ill-advised blurting, but it's also a transit of awakening and clarification. [9:50] Mercury trines Pluto on Thu. Sep. 18 (11:27 pm PDT, 1°30' Libra-Aquarius). Mercury with Pluto brings up stark truths we need face. This is a transit of profound insight if we're willing to confront those realities. [11:20] Venus enters Virgo on Fri. Sep. 19 (5:39 am PDT, through Oct. 13). Venus is traditionally in her fall in Virgo because she is exalted in the opposite sign, Pisces. Venus in Virgo favors healthy food, tools, and organizational supplies.

Communication, thoughts, and even movement have extra power around this time. [18:20] The New Moon point is trine Uranus, so the changes associated with eclipses could arrive suddenly or unexpectedly. An eclipse that's close to the South Node in Virgo emphasizes endings, release, letting go, being a little bit too perfectionistic or judgmental. Move toward the Pisces North Node's acceptance and willingness to go with the flow. [19:35] Solar Eclipses repeat on about the same day of the year and close to the same degree of the zodiac every 19 years.

They also examine the role of environmental factors and personal motivations in shaping perfectionistic tendencies. TAKEAWAYS Self-imposed perfectionism sets unrealistic personal standards.

Tonight, we'll read the 32nd chapter of “Anne of Green Gables”, the classic 1908 novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery. This chapter is titled “The Pass List is Out” In the last episode, Anne spent a carefree summer outdoors with Diana, as per the doctor's advice for her health. The time in the fresh air left her revived and eager for the new school year. As autumn arrived, she threw herself into her studies under Miss Stacy's inspiring guidance, with the looming “Entrance” exams casting a shadow over the year. Socially, Anne enjoyed parties, sleigh rides, and skating, while at home Marilla reflected with bittersweet feelings on how much Anne had grown. Anne herself became quieter, favoring thoughtful reflection over chatter, and focused on improving her writing through Miss Stacy's critiques. With just two months before the exams, Anne worried about passing—especially in geometry—while determinedly pushing herself to succeed. — read by 'N' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!
