What starts as an Adderall pill shared in a high school hallway on Long Island doesn't look like the beginning of a story about psychosis. But for McKenna, that's exactly what it was.In this episode, we sit down with McKenna Mangan - soon-to-be mom, wife, entrepreneur, and woman with over three years of sobriety — to trace the long and winding road from her ambitious beginnings to her most devastating lows, and ultimately to a life she never could have imagined for herself.McKenna was doing everything "right." She graduated from Fordham University, landed a coveted finance role on Wall Street, and had every box checked on paper. But underneath the success, what had started as casual Adderall use in high school had quietly grown into a full-blown dependency — one that Wall Street's pressure-cooker culture only accelerated. When the jobs disappeared, McKenna found herself back on Long Island with her addiction running the show, cycling through toxic and abusive relationships, and spiraling further from the woman she once was.The turning point came in the form of a two-month psychosis — a terrifying rock bottom that finally opened the door to real change.Now on the other side, McKenna shares how treatment didn't just save her life — it completely redirected it. Through connections made in recovery, she discovered a surprising new career path she never saw coming, one that lights her up in ways Wall Street never did. Today, she's building a business, a marriage, and a family, all rooted in the clarity that only sobriety can bring.Today's episode is brought to you by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Seasons ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠in Malibu. For over 18 years, Seasons has been a sanctuary for individuals seeking to reclaim their lives from addiction and mental health challenges. Our story began with a simple but profound vision: To create a luxurious sanctuary for individuals struggling with addiction or mental health issues, where they can receive the finest, evidence-based treatment in the world.Built on Compassion, Driven by ExcellenceWhat started as a small number of compassionate professionals has grown into one of the nation's most respected luxury treatment centers. But growth has never meant losing sight of what matters most—the individual engaging with our therapists, one-on-one, taking the courageous first step toward healing.From the beginning, we understood that truly transformative treatment requires more than clinical protocols. It demands a personalized approach, led by the most qualified professionals, in an environment that nurtures the whole person. That's why we've assembled a team where every primary therapist holds a Doctorate in Psychology - a distinction virtually unmatched in our field.Check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Seasons Malibu⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ online or call 1-866-314-5160 for more information.Connect with Seasons on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DM me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Message me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen AD FREE & workout with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email me at chasingheroine@gmail.comSee you next week!

In this deeply grounding and insightful episode, I'm joined by Cameron Burris, a licensed therapist, clinical herbalist, and community care advocate who specializes in nervous system support for high achievers, those who often feel the pressure to over-function, over-give, and constantly perform.Together, we explore the connection between burnout, chronic stress, and the nervous system, and how many of us have been conditioned to operate in ways that disconnect us from our bodies. This conversation gently challenges the idea that productivity equals worth and offers a new, more sustainable way of being. We dive into how over-functioning shows up in both the mind and body, the subtle signs of nervous system dysregulation, and what it actually means to feel safe enough to slow down. You'll also hear how holistic practices like herbalism, yoga, sacred movement, and even gardening can support deep regulation and healing.Whether you identify as a high achiever, the “strong one,” or someone learning to unlearn burnout patterns, this episode offers both education and practical tools to help you reconnect with your body and respond to life with more intention and ease.Connect with Cameron:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therapywithcamJoin Overfunctioners Anonymous: https://www.quietcontemplationllc.com/overfunctioners-anonymous?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bioWork with Cam: https://tr.ee/0z-0y0hqmu✨ Stay Connected with Shots of Serenity ✨Thank you so much for tuning in!

Um programa na região de Marselha quer conhecer e acelerar startups africanas em busca de expandir o seu negócio em França. Da economia azul à área da saúde, todas as startups podem concorrer ao Soft Landing Provence Africa Connect concebido pelo Accelerateur M, em Marselha. O Accelerateur M, em Marselha, existe para ajudar as startups a implementarem-se na região metropolitana da cidade que engloba também Aix-en-Provence. Para além de querer acolher mais jovens empresas francesas e europeias, o Accelerateur M, liderado pelo franco-português Franck Araújo, quer acolher o talento africano e tentar fixar no Sul de França novas empresas com projectos aliciantes. Para isso, esta entidade criou o programa Soft Landing Provence Africa Connect - Innovation que acompanha as empresas africanas a entrarem no mercado francês e a desenvolverem-se. "O programa Soft Landing para África Connect diz respeito a qualquer empresa de qualquer país dos 54 países africanos do continente. Nem mais nem menos. Diz respeito a todos. Aliás, como é que uma startup se pode candidatar? É muito simples. No nosso website podem encontrar o link que leva à plataforma internacional F6S e a partir daí vão submeter a candidatura. Ela vai ser pré-avaliada por um comité e depois dessa pré-avaliação, algumas vão ser pré-selecionadas ou vão a um júri. Vamos seleccionar no máximo 20 startups", explicou Franck Araújo. Uma primeira fase do programa passa-se em video-conferência, a seguir há uma imersão de uma semana em Marselha e e, numa terceira fase, as startups têm mais uma semana em França, mas em diferentes locais, consoante a especificidade do seu negócio. A experiência termina com um evento Emerging Valley para encontrar investimento e mentorias para as startups seleccionadas. Para concorrer é preciso uma boa ideia, como explica Franck Araújo. "Não há necessidade de ter lucros. Mas se a Prova de Conceito já estiver estabelecida, claro que vai facilitar a avaliação da candidatura e outros requisitos e até a capacidade da própria empresa para internacionalizar as actividades. Precisamos ver qual é a ambição, qual é a ambição da empresa e do projecto. Nós não vamos avaliar simplesmente a ambição de vir aqui a França. Isso não é o projecto. O projecto é qual é a sua trajetória? Onde é que quer ir e como é que nós vamos conseguir ajudar a atingir o seu objetivo?", detalhou o director do Accelerateur M. O programa tem actualmente as inscrições encerradas e voltará a ter uma nova edição dem 2027.

Happy May! As spring settles in and life picks back up, this solo episode is your gentle reminder to slow down, pause, and take inventory, not just of what needs fixing, but of everything that's already flourishing.In a world that constantly pushes us toward the next goal, the next problem, the next thing to improve, it's easy to miss the blessings we're already living. In this heartfelt episode, we explore why stopping to take honest notes on your life the wins, the growth, the answered prayers — is one of the most powerful mindset shifts you can make. We dive into why a mindset of lack is one of the most dangerous places to live from, how reassurance and self-acknowledgment fuel real motivation, and why doing more of what's working is just as important as fixing what isn't.Whether you're in a season of hustle or rest, this episode will leave you feeling grounded, reassured, and inspired to keep going.✨ Stay Connected with Shots of Serenity ✨Thank you so much for tuning in!

In this episode of Shots of Serenity, I'm joined by a mental health therapist and author whose work centers on helping millennial women heal holistically through therapy, community, and collective support, Mrs. Brittany Ellis. Together, we explore the powerful role that community and sisterhood play in the healing journey.Many women are taught to carry their struggles alone, but healing often deepens when we allow ourselves to be seen, supported, and held by other women, other likeminded people.

Brittany shares insight into how women can begin unpacking relational wounds with compassion while creating healthier relationships and stronger boundaries.This conversation is an invitation to reflect on the importance of women supporting women, reclaiming community, and cultivating spaces where healing can happen together.

In this special birthday episode of Shots of Serenity, I'm joined by someone close to me for a reflective conversation as we look back on another trip around the sun. Together, we explore the lessons this past year has offered, both the beautiful and the challenging, and the practices that have helped ground me through it all.Through thoughtful questions, I share reflections on personal growth, the challenges that stretched me, and the rituals and perspectives that have supported me along the way. We also talk about my word of the year and the intentions I'm carrying forward into this next chapter.Birthdays can be more than a celebration, they can also be a moment to pause, take inventory, and reconnect with what truly matters.

In this guided meditation, we explore a gentle visualization practice for navigating grief, life transitions, and emotional processing. Grief does not only arise from loss, it can also surface through change, endings, identity shifts, and the evolving nature of relationships.This meditation invites you into a grounding imagery practice where you imagine your experiences taking the form of a shape, perhaps a square, a circle, a heart, or something entirely your own. Instead of remaining inside the experience, you are guided to gently step outside of it, creating space to witness your life from a new perspective. Stepping outside does not mean rejection, avoidance, or judgment. Instead, it is an act of curiosity and compassion, loosening the grip of attachment and allowing yourself to see your experiences from another vantage point.Through this reflective practice, you'll be encouraged to soften your hold on the stories, emotions, or identities that may feel confining, and practice opening your hands to the possibility of new understanding. Whether you are moving through grief, navigating a life transition, or simply seeking a moment of grounding, this practice offers a supportive space to pause, breathe, and witness your experience with care.Take a comfortable seat, soften your breath, and allow yourself to explore what it feels like to step outside the shape of your experience, if only for a moment.✨ Stay Connected with Shots of Serenity ✨Thank you so much for tuning in!

In this guided meditation, we gently return to the present moment and practice witnessing the beauty that already exists around us. So often, life moves quickly, pulling our attention toward the past or pushing us into the future. But presence invites us back to what is here now.This meditation is an opportunity to slow down, soften your awareness, and reconnect with the quiet details that make life meaningful: the rhythm of your breath, the subtle sensations in your body, the sounds and textures of the world around you. Through mindful observation and compassionate awareness, we explore how simply witnessing the present moment can bring a sense of grounding, gratitude, and inner peace.Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, distracted, or simply craving a moment to reconnect with yourself, this practice offers a gentle space to pause and notice the beauty that is always available when we become present.This episode is part of our April meditation series on Shots of Serenity, where each practice is designed to support deeper connection, reflection, and inner calm.✨ Stay Connected with Shots of Serenity ✨Thank you so much for tuning in!

Grief is a deeply human experience that touches every part of our lives. In this episode of Shots of Serenity, we explore the nuanced process of grieving and the powerful distinction between acceptance and approval. Many people struggle with the idea that accepting a loss, change, or difficult reality means agreeing with it, but acceptance simply means acknowledging what is, so we can move forward with compassion and presence.This conversation invites you into a gentle reflection on the many forms grief can take. While grief is often associated with the loss of a loved one, it can also arise through life transitions, changing relationships, unmet expectations, identity shifts, or letting go of versions of ourselves we once held. By expanding our understanding of grief, we create more room for honesty, healing, and self-compassion.✨ Stay Connected with Shots of Serenity ✨Thank you so much for tuning in!

In this deeply reflective and grounding episode of Shots of Serenity, we explore the evolution of healing, wisdom, and self-trust across the seasons of life, specifically older adulthood. Together, we reflect on the inner shifts that shape us over time, from our 20s and 30s into more seasoned stages of life—and how our definitions of healing, community, boundaries, and forgiveness naturally evolve. We also dive into how spiritual practices transfom as we age, the developmental themes that arise in different life stages, mother-daughter wounds and what it truly means to live with embodied wisdom. If you are navigating change, seeking clarity, or learning to trust your timing, this conversation offers grounding reflections and gentle reminders to support your journey.This episode is for anyone moving through a life transition, redefining their relationship with healing, or learning how to soften into their next chapter with intention and grace.Connect with Faatima:Instagram: Faatima Harley (@chocolateyogadestinations) • Instagram photos and videosWebsite: Events & ClassesYoutube:Sound Bath Break for Calm, Peaceful Stress Relief.✨ Stay Connected with Shots of Serenity ✨Thank you so much for tuning in!

In this short solo episode of Shots of Serenity, we explore the power of anchors—intentional practices, habits, or rituals that help us return to ourselves throughout the day.When life feels fast, overwhelming, or emotionally charged, anchors act as gentle reminders that bring us back to presence, grounding, and clarity.

Geopolitical events move fast, and while the instinct may be to react, history tells a much more nuanced story about market resilience.We break down the central role of oil prices, the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, and why the U.S. economy's shift toward being an energy exporter changes the math on GDP drag compared to decades past.In this video, we discuss:- Historical Precedents: How markets recovered after the Gulf War, 9/11, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.- Safe Haven Assets: Why gold, U.S. Treasuries, and the Dollar behave the way they do during uncertainty.- Sector Winners/Losers: A look at defense-related stocks, value stocks, and the potential for an AI value rotation.- The Power of Diversification: Why avoiding recency bias and sticking to a long-term plan is your best defense against volatility.Protect your portfolio from emotional decision-making.

In this solo episode of Shots of Serenity, we explore the quiet but powerful influence our thoughts have on the way we experience life. What happens when we become overly attached to the thoughts that pass through our minds? And how can that attachment shape our emotions, behaviors, and overall well-being?In this conversation, I revisit the important relationship between thoughts, feelings, emotions, and behaviors, breaking down how these internal processes interact and influence one another. Many of us assume our thoughts are facts, but learning to observe them rather than fuse with them can transform the way we move through the world.This episode highlights the lifelong practice of catching our thoughts, responding to them with curiosity rather than judgment, and strengthening our ability to return to emotional balance more quickly when we're thrown off center.If you've ever felt stuck in a loop of overthinking, self-criticism, or intrusive thoughts, this episode offers grounding insights and compassionate reminders that your thoughts are not your identity, and that change is always possible.This is an invitation to slow down, observe your mind, and practice thinking in ways that support your healing, growth, and peace.✨ Stay Connected with Shots of Serenity ✨Thank you so much for tuning in!

What does it mean to identify as a wanderer in a world that constantly asks you to define yourself by productivity, presence, and performance?In this intimate and expansive conversation, I sit down with Amanda Carter, who describes herself as a wanderer, not just in movement, but in consciousness, identity, and becoming. Together, we explore what it means to know yourself beyond what you do or share online, and how self-awareness deepens over time through both awakening and discomfort.We talk honestly about the tension of holding space for others while the world feels heavy, navigating collective grief, overstimulation, and the quiet shame that can arise when you need to disconnect from the news or step away from social media for your own mental health. We also discuss the reality of phone addiction, digital overwhelm, and the courage it takes to unplug in order to come home to yourself.If you've ever felt uncertain, in-between, evolving, or like you don't quite fit into one fixed identity , this conversation will feel like permission. Permission to wander. Permission to disconnect. Permission to become.Share this episode with someone who's navigating a season of becoming

In this episode of Shots of Serenity, we explore the concept of intellectualizing—what it is, why many of us do it, and how it can quietly disconnect us from our emotional world. If you've ever found yourself overthinking instead of feeling, analyzing instead of experiencing, or explaining your pain rather than embodying it, this conversation is for you.Together, we gently unpack the difference between a thought, feeling, emotion, and behavior, creating clarity around how these inner experiences shape our patterns, relationships, and self-awareness. I also share practical, real-life examples and a therapeutic technique I often use with clients to help expand emotional awareness and move from cognitive understanding into embodied presence.This episode invites you to soften out of analysis and into awareness—because healing isn't just something we understand intellectually, it's something we learn to feel, notice, and live.In this episode:What intellectualizing is and how it shows up in everyday lifeThe difference between thoughts, feelings, emotions, and behaviorsWhy emotional awareness matters for healing and self-connectionA practical technique to deepen emotional awarenessExamples of moving from thinking about feelings → actually feeling themIf you're learning to reconnect with your inner experience, regulate your nervous system, or cultivate deeper self-understanding, this episode offers a gentle place to begin.✨ Stay Connected with Shots of Serenity ✨Thank you so much for tuning in!

What does loving yourself actually mean, beyond bubble baths and affirmations?In this heartfelt episode of Shots of Serenity, we explore the deeper layers of self-relationship by unpacking the differences between self-love, self-care, confidence, and self-esteem, and why understanding each one can transform how you show up in your life, relationships, and healing journey.As we move through the month of love and Black History Month, this conversation also honors the radical, restorative power of self-love, especially for those navigating identity, growth, and emotional healing in a world that doesn't always mirror our worth back to us.I also share 4 gentle, real-life ways I've been learning to love myself , not from perfection, but from presence, compassion, and intentional self-connection.This episode is a soft space to reflect, reconnect, and redefine what loving yourself truly means.✨ Perfect for listeners interested in: self-love, emotional healing, personal growth, mindfulness, mental health, identity, and inner work.✨ Stay Connected with Shots of Serenity ✨Thank you so much for tuning in!

In this solo episode of Shots of Serenity, we explore the deeper layers of change and why uninformed optimism can often lead us to fall off our New Year intentions around this time. I reflect on the stages of change, how early motivation can fade without grounding, and what it really takes to stay connected to our intentions as the year unfolds.I also share my personal relationship with choosing a word of the year, why I've shifted away from vision boards, how my word is meeting me in real time, and what following through looks like when we lead with softness instead of pressure.

Sleep can be the cushion or padding people use to take up slack in other parts of our lives. This is one reason why we sleep less than our grandparents did. It solves some problems, but it creates all new ones. Fortunately, Jesus shows us how we can solve them. Pastor Luke looks at Mark 4:35-41 in "Soft Landing," the concluding message in his series, "Padding."

In this solo episode, I'm sharing a how I'm taking a softer, more intentional start to 2026. After taking some time to rest, recharge, and step away from the pressure of productivity, I reflect on why slowing down has become essential for me. I talk about letting go of the urgency to reinvent myself overnight, embracing a gentler approach to goal-setting, and redefining what it means to succeed this year.  I also share my personal framework for setting goals—from identifying core life pillars (health, relationships, and passion) to choosing guiding words for the year like patience, fun, and excellence. This episode is an invitation to reflect, realign, and build a year that feels right for you. If you're feeling behind, uncertain, or simply craving a slower, more intentional reset, this episode is your reminder that there's no wrong timeline—just a meaningful place to begin.   Follow me on Instagram Shop by Gift Guides!

In this solo episode of Shots of Serenity, we explore the importance of honoring your energy flow as a daily, sacred practice rather than something to fix, override, or force. I share my personal relationship with energy regulation through the lens of my dosha, my astrological big three, my empathetic and intuitive nature, and living with anemia—and how these pieces inform the way I move through the world.This conversation gently weaves together sacred wisdom, holistic theories, medical realities, cultural and familial upbringings, and nervous system awareness, highlighting the intersectionality of our experiences and how deeply they shape our capacity, rhythms, and needs. We talk about why honoring energy is not one-size-fits-all, and how language, both internal and external, can either support or disconnect us from our bodies.I offer friendly reminders, reflections from my own healing journey, and an invitation for listeners to explore the archetypes, frameworks, and wisdom systems that resonate most with them, without spiritual bypassing or self-abandonment. This episode is an exploration of learning to work with your energy instead of against it, building trust with your body, and allowing your flow to be informed by compassion, context, and curiosity.Whether you're navigating chronic fatigue, emotional sensitivity, burnout, or simply longing to live more in alignment, this episode offers a grounded, soulful space to reconnect with your natural rhythm and reclaim rest, clarity, and self-honor.✨ Stay Connected with Shots of Serenity ✨Thank you so much for tuning in!

With markets looking to broaden out in 2026, Keith Buchanan believes there's a disconnect between expectations and reality. He points to monetary policy, fiscal policy, geopolitical issues, and earnings as key drivers for increased volatility. While a soft landing is anticipated, the Federal Reserve's approach to inflation and interest rate cuts will shape market dynamics.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

In this intimate solo episode of Shots of Serenity, I open the door to the heart of The Soft Landing, the offering, the intention, and the season of transition it's being born from. This episode was created to gently clarify what The Soft Landing truly is, what it is not, and why naming that distinction matters in a world that often rushes healing, performance, and productivity. I speak candidly about the deeper intention behind this space, how it's meant to be experienced, and who it's for.For the first time, I'm also sharing something exclusively with my podcast listeners. This episode isn't an announcement for social media; it's a quiet truth shared here, in a space that feels safe enough to hold it. This episode is for anyone who is navigating change, craving softness, or learning how to land gently in the middle of becoming. You don't need to have it all figured out—you're allowed to arrive as you are.Take a breath. There's nothing you need to prove here. This is your soft landing.✨ Stay Connected with Shots of Serenity ✨Thank you so much for tuning in!

If you're here, you're not late. You're perfectly on time, and exactly where you need to be.In this first episode of the new year (and our new name!), I'm sharing what this space is really about: a soft landing, a deep exhale, and a place where you can be fully human. Some days you'll leave with a warm hug. Other days you'll get a loving little kick in the tush. Most days…both.We talk about the magic in everyday life, the duality of joy and struggle, and how we can create small shifts that change everything, without the pressure to “fix” yourself.Inside this episode:What “Magic Made” means (and what you can expect here)Why you don't need to be “ready” or “qualified” to belong in this communityMy go-to ritual for when life feels loud (spoiler: dim lights + shower + nervous system soothing)What I used to struggle with that I now hold space for (anxiety, and learning to be present again)The kind of support that's made the biggest difference for me (tough love…done the right way)A childhood story that perfectly explains my version of magic (yes, even in grief)How I protect this space so it stays safe, grounded, and genuinely supportiveA little invitation:Tell me in the comments, what does “magic” mean to you right now? And what's one thing you can do differently today, instead of waiting for “someday”?

In this solo episode of Shots of Serenity, I take you outside with me, grounded in nature, to explore the sacred, nuanced relationship we have with time. Inspired by a question poll I shared on Instagram about lessons learned through time, this episode weaves together your collective reflections with my own lived experiences, insights, and gentle truths.We explore how time can feel like pressure and permission at once, how it teaches through both waiting and movement, and how it becomes a quiet blessing when we learn to listen instead of rush. This conversation invites you to soften your grip on timelines, productivity, and urgency, and instead attune to divine timing, inner seasons, and the wisdom that unfolds when we allow life to meet us where we are.Toward the end of the episode, I offer a prayer and a personal letter written to time itself—an intimate reflection meant to support your own process of surrender, patience, and trust.The YouTube version of this episode includes a mini vlog to a cabin, capturing moments of stillness, nature, and transition that mirror the themes of the conversation.

In this solo episode of Shots of Serenity, I invite you into a living, breathing moment of self-exploration — recorded while on vacation, surrounded by nature, movement, and the honest sounds of life unfolding in real time.This episode intentionally welcomes the ambience as part of the experience. It's an offering rooted in presence, reminding us that healing, reflection, and insight don't require perfect conditions, only willingness and awareness.Through reflective storytelling and gentle inquiry, I explore how our family systems shape our inner world. I share my experience of asking family members about their value systems, upbringing, homeland, and memories of who I was growing up — and how those conversations revealed powerful insights about identity, conditioning, and self-understanding.This episode encourages listeners to engage their own families as living mirrors, not from a place of blame or interrogation, but from curiosity, compassion, and mutual benefit. By going directly to the source, we open pathways for deeper self-awareness, ancestral understanding, and continued personal growth.This practice isn't about rewriting the past. It's about understanding the soil you grew from — so you can choose how you continue to grow.If this episode resonated, consider sharing it with someone who's navigating their own self-exploration journey.✨ Stay Connected with Shots of Serenity ✨Thank you so much for tuning in!

Inflation is becoming less of a concern in recent data and shows that there is resilience in the economy headed into 2026 according to Ted Thatcher from Bright Lake Wealth Management. Thatcher thinks that we have seen the worst impacts of the tariffs and that the government shutdown will not have long-term impacts on the direction of the Fed and the economy.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

In this powerful co-hosted episode with Jessica Young, we step into a deeply personal season of surrender and unpack what surrendering truly means on an individual level. From releasing control to embracing uncertainty, we explore how surrender shows up differently for each of us and why it's often one of the hardest yet most transformative parts of personal growth.Together, we openly discuss the emotions that surface when we surrender—fear, grief, relief, peace, resistance, and hope—and how these feelings can coexist during seasons of change. This conversation also dives into the level of trust required to surrender, whether that trust is in yourself, in others, in divine timing, or in the unknown.If you're navigating a season of letting go, healing, or spiritual and emotional growth, this episode offers honest reflection, vulnerability, and reassurance that surrender isn't weakness—it's an act of courage and self-trust.✨ Stay Connected with Shots of Serenity ✨Thank you so much for tuning in!

 Wall Street noise is loud—Barry Ritholtz shows you How Not to Invest. In this episode, we cut through models, headlines, and hype to focus on the few decisions that actually compound. Barry shares a practical framework for decision-making grounded in behavioral finance: why models are “wrong but useful,” how to build a checklist to filter signal from noise, and why broad indexing should anchor most portfolios. We dig into direct indexing for tax management, the attention economy's impact on investors, and the real effects of tariffs and Fed timing on markets and Main Street. He also maps the “two businesses” every investor must master: deploying capital quietly for decades and consuming information without getting captured by clickbait. If you're curious about AI's productivity boost, global mean reversion beyond the U.S., and realistic expectations after back-to-back strong years, this conversation is for you.
