Today, we address the elevated risk profile resulting from a slow-moving western storm that encompasses the desert Southwest and the Southern Plains. Flood watches and warnings have been issued across parts of Arizona, southeast California, and southern Nevada as persistent rainfall continues to impact these regions. Additionally, southern Utah is experiencing mountain snow, while parts of North Texas through Oklahoma are under a marginal risk for severe storms, which may include damaging winds and hail. We also note that Hawaii's Big Island summits remain under a winter weather advisory due to anticipated wintry conditions. As we navigate these varied weather phenomena, we emphasize the importance of remaining situationally aware and prepared for potential hazards.Takeaways:* A slow-moving western storm significantly elevates the risk profile across multiple states today. * Flood watches are currently in effect across parts of Arizona, California, and Nevada due to persistent rain. * Southern Utah is under a winter weather advisory with ongoing mountain snow expected to impact travel. * Texas has activated emergency resources in anticipation of heavy rain and flooding threats over the coming days. * The Storm Prediction Center has designated a marginal risk for severe weather from North Texas to southern Missouri. * Hawaii's Big Island summits continue to face winter weather advisories due to potential snowfall and icy conditions.

Send us a textSouthern Utah is changing fast—and we're breaking down the real forces driving growth, prices, politics, and water. This episode cuts through the noise to explain what's really happening with drought, development, new builds, county policy, and the power struggles shaping the future of Washington County.We start local with the Purgatory jail expansion, why the new medical wing matters, and how it ties into the region's long-term fiscal strategy. Then we shift to housing and builder moves: Lennar tapping the brakes nationally while Pulte picks up new land in Desert Color. The message? The market isn't dead—it's cautious, competitive, and shifting.And yes… water is still the #1 issue.We break down the county's five-stage drought plan, penalties tied to residential connections, what this means for high-use sites like golf courses, and the rising tensions between conservation, affordability, and growth. With the Colorado River negotiations stalled and the Lake Powell pipeline delayed, Washington County is leaning heavily on the Virgin River Basin and price signals to limit demand.We also dig into:• Bill Gates' climate pivot + the energy demands of AI• The myths behind 50-year mortgages and portable loans• What actually helps affordability (first-time buyer aid, tiered rates, zoning reform)• Why Utah's redistricting ruling could reshape representation• Plus: Four open city council seats in Hurricane, Ivins, Santa Clara & St. George—your chance to influence local policy without running a full campaignIf you care about Southern Utah real estate, housing affordability, growth, water policy, politics, or local government, this is the episode you can't miss.

Send us a textGrowth doesn't wait for perfect alignment, and neither should we. This conversation with Mayor Michele Randall digs into the choices shaping Southern Utah right now: a Northern Corridor designed to relieve real congestion, a beloved Zone Six worth protecting, and a Western Corridor that shouldn't split SunRiver's sense of place. We walk the ground-level details—UDOT influence, MPO dynamics, SITLA's school-funding mandate, and federal timelines—so you can judge the trade-offs with clear eyes.We also trace how traffic and housing connect. St. George's topography and past land-use shifts created choke points that neighborhood commercial can finally ease. Think daily needs embedded near homes, fewer cross-town trips, and smarter corridors that carry regional growth without turning downtown into a freeway. On the housing front, Michele backs practical flexibility: ADUs in every zone, mixed-style neighborhoods, studio and mid-rise apartments near jobs like Tech Ridge, and a faster, clearer path through approvals. Affordability isn't solved by slogans—it's zoning, timing, and supply that work together.Budgets matter because priorities do. You'll hear the unvarnished timeline behind the proposed property tax increase, why the council reversed course at truth-in-taxation, and how the city still funded core public safety—new stations, equipment, and a majority of planned positions—by cutting elsewhere and tapping capital funds. We get into the city's new budgeting approach where council priorities lead and departments build to outcomes: safer streets, maintained roads, reliable parks, responsive services.Along the way, we confront labels and look at leadership. Michele argues that a nonpartisan mayor meets with everyone, protects heritage with context (from national historic status for the Sugar Loaf and the “D” to a new interpretive trail), and keeps the focus on what makes daily life better. She addresses attendance rumors head-on, shares her health journey, and emphasizes how city work continued seamlessly with strong staff and open channels—public comment rebuilt, online submissions live, and direct contact by phone and email.Please make sure you like and subscribe, share it with other voters throughout Washington County to help them make informed decisions in the upcoming election.

Send us a textWhen money can fix a problem, it's not really a problem—but what about when it can't? That's the question at the heart of this powerful conversation about the American Cancer Society's upcoming fundraiser at Black Desert Resort.Patrick Manning, Managing Director of Reef Capital and Black Desert Resort, shares a deeply personal story about how cancer touched someone close to him, transforming his understanding of problems that can and cannot be solved with resources alone. This revelation drives his commitment to supporting the American Cancer Society's mission in Southern Utah, where they're building something remarkable.The third annual Gala and Golf Tournament, scheduled for September 22nd at the stunning Black Desert Resort, aims to raise $350,000 for cancer patient services. What began with 120 people in a tent on an undeveloped golf course has evolved into a 500-person gala in the resort's grand Onyx Ballroom. We explore how these funds directly impact cancer patients through practical support services—free housing at Hope Lodge, transportation through Road to Recovery, and even pet sitting for those traveling for treatment.Sibel Barnard from the American Cancer Society explains how these services address the often-overlooked logistical and financial challenges cancer patients face beyond medical treatment itself. The statistics are encouraging: cancer fatalities have declined 33% since the 1990s, showing how community efforts truly make a difference.We also get an insider's look at Black Desert's development, with Patrick sharing exciting updates about the resort's seven restaurants, new pool area, and forthcoming attractions including a water park, pickleball facility, and 3,000-seat concert venue. Ryanne Day of STG Eats provides valuable insights into Southern Utah's evolving restaurant scene, highlighting how social media consistency and collaboration help local businesses thrive in a competitive market.Whether you're interested in supporting a worthy cause, networking with community leaders, experiencing Black Desert's luxury, or simply enjoying an extraordinary evening culminating in a spectacular drone show—this event offers something meaningful for everyone.

Send us a textEpisode SummaryIf you've ever questioned your faith, struggled with loss, or felt the weight of expectations, this episode is for you.Key TakeawaysLarry Camp's journey reflects a deep connection to music and family.Mental health discussions are crucial in high-demand religious settings.Personal growth often comes from questioning /clarifying beliefs. High-demand religions often create an image that members feel pressured to maintain.Women in Mormonism face significant limitations due to patriarchal structures.Community support is crucial for those who leave religious groups.Human connection fosters hope and resilience.Coping with faith and loss requires empathy and understanding.Engaging in fun activities is essential for well-being.Curiosity and learning are vital for personal growth.In this powerful episode of Even Tacos Fall Apart, Larry Camp opens up about his life, his journey with the Mormon faith, and how leaving it shaped his mental health. A lifelong lover of music, sports, and Hawaii, Larry's story is filled with twists and turns that reflect resilience and the importance of forging your own path.Raised in a devout Mormon family, Larry embraced the religion's demanding lifestyle, including serving a two-year mission and adhering to the strict rules.  Larry explained how the church's high expectations and guilt-driven culture often take a toll on mental health, especially for women, who are frequently subjected to intense judgment and impossible standards. One of the most moving parts of the interview came when Larry discussed the loss of his son, Dusty, in 2018. This devastating event, coupled with his departure from the Mormon Church, tested his resilience and emotional strength. He credited his wife of 44 years, Judy, as his rock during this challenging period. Larry candidly shared how the family coped and how his other son, Crosby, continues to struggle with Dusty's death.Larry also reflected on the beauty and challenges of living in Hawaii. Though he adored the Aloha spirit, the financial reality of life on the islands eventually led him and Judy to settle in Southern Utah. His passion for music, sports, and storytelling remains central to his life, as evidenced by his own podcast Nobody Knows Your Story, where he explores the richness of human experiences.Throughout the conversation, Larry stressed the value of community—both in and out of religion. He also shared a poignant insight about personal growth: “You can't change the past, but you can always aim to do better moving forward.”This episode is a heartfelt reminder that mental health journeys are rarely straightforward, but with the right people in your corner and a willingness to seek truth, healing is always possible. Whether you're grappling with faith, loss, or life's uncertainties, Larry's story offers wisdom, humor, and hope for finding peace on your own terms.Invictus  - William Ernest HenleyOut of the night that covers me,Black as the pit from pole to pole,I thank whatever gods may beFor my unconquerable soul.In the fell clutch of circumstanceI have not winced nor cried aloud.Under the bludgeoning's of chanceMy head is bloody, but unbowed.Beyond this place of wrath and tearsLooms but the Horror of the shade,And yet the menace of the yearsFinds and shall find me unafraid.It matters not how strait the gate,How charged with punishments the scroll,I am the master of my fate,I am the captain of my soul.

What happens when you stop building your real estate business the way everyone tells you to and start building it around who you really are? On this episode, JD Reese shares how he rebuilt from that exact moment and what came next. He takes us inside Genuine Real Estate Group, one of the most consistent teams in Southern Utah, where 60 listings stay active and under contract, and agent turnover is nearly zero. He breaks down how they keep that kind of performance steady without burning out. From pricing strategy and emotional sellers to tracking accountability and team culture, JD gets into the decisions that drive results. “You've got to be the best house and the best offering in the neighborhood,” he says. But that's just the beginning. JD also unpacks how his team uses tools like Sisu's new product “Battr”, to track every step of the lead journey, flag breakdowns, and stay focused on what actually moves the needle. “It's not about more leads. It's about calling fewer leads more.” No outbound recruiting. No scripts. Just structure, speed, and real coaching. “If you're not converting anything into your name, your database is too small.” You'll hear how they onboard new agents, use mentorship to drive growth, and create space for real conversations instead of surface-level tactics.

In this episode, we sit down with Chris Merrill to hear his harrowing story of survival. Chris was involved in a devastating ATV accident on the towering sand dunes of Southern Utah—an incident that nearly claimed his life and put his friend and his friend's son in grave danger. While driving the ATV, Chris unknowingly crested a steep cornice. The vehicle suddenly launched into the air, landing hard on its front end before tumbling violently down the dune. During the crash, Chris was thrown forward repeatedly, his face slamming into the steering wheel multiple times. The impact left him with a severely fractured jaw that spiraled around his skull.

Send us a textWayne Pennington brings a scientist's precision to the Ivins City Council race, drawing on his extraordinary career studying earthquakes from Pakistan to Michigan. As a former university dean and president of major scientific organizations, his analytical approach to local issues offers a refreshing alternative to politics-as-usual.The conversation reveals how Pennington's expertise became unexpectedly valuable when Ivins faced a controversial reservoir proposal. When city officials approved the Dry Wash Reservoir without fully understanding technical reports, Pennington volunteered his knowledge, identifying serious flaws including potential contamination risks and structural concerns. His intervention ultimately contributed to the project being tabled after outside experts confirmed his assessment that the reservoir wasn't necessary for meeting water demands.This experience crystallizes Pennington's campaign philosophy: details matter in local government. Whether discussing affordable housing, tax policy, or land use decisions, he demonstrates remarkable fluency with complex issues while remaining focused on practical solutions. He articulates a thoughtful balance between maintaining Ivins' unique character and accommodating necessary growth, questioning state interference in local decision-making and advocating for more strategic coordination with entities like SITLA.Particularly illuminating is Pennington's explanation of Ivins' proposed tax adjustment, which he frames not as an increase but as a restoration of the city's purchasing power to pre-inflation levels. He notes that despite rising costs for essential services, the typical home's contribution to city coffers has remained unchanged for 15 years.For voters concerned about thoughtful, evidence-based governance, Pennington offers both scientific credentials and genuine appreciation for Southern Utah's quality of life. His candidacy represents an opportunity to bring technical expertise to a city council facing increasingly complex challenges requiring more than political instinct to solve.

Send us a textWhat happens when a dedicated educator from rural Virginia relocates to Hurricane, Utah and decides to run for city council? Cindy Matejka brings a refreshingly balanced perspective to one of Southern Utah's fastest-growing communities.Having worked for Sesame Street developing internet safety programs and taught middle school for years, Matejka's journey to Hurricane was sparked by the challenges of COVID-19 and a desire to find a community with conservative Christian values. What her family discovered was a welcoming small town that her teenage son immediately recognized as "what I've waited all my life for" - but also a place experiencing growing pains as development rapidly transforms the landscape.Matejka articulates the central tension facing Hurricane with remarkable clarity: how to achieve necessary economic growth without overwhelming longtime residents who cherish the city's rural character. She advocates for a measured approach to development, suggesting alternative funding mechanisms like government bonds and grants rather than relying solely on building permits and new construction. Her concerns about infrastructure, particularly traffic congestion on SR-9 and the limited police force (just three officers per shift), demonstrate her practical understanding of growth's real-world impacts.What sets Matejka apart is her commitment to learning and listening. Whether attending planning commission meetings to understand proposed developments, completing a police ride-along to see public safety challenges firsthand, or reaching out directly to the mayor with neighborhood concerns, she embodies the "lifelong learner" mindset she cultivates in her students. This approach extends to her campaign style, where she avoids negativity and focuses on substantive issues despite the sometimes contentious social media environment.For Hurricane voters seeking a thoughtful voice who can bridge divides between newcomers and longtime residents, Matejka offers a unique combination of fresh perspective and deep respect for community values. Listen to her full conversation to understand why this teacher believes city council is her next classroom.Timestamps:[00:00:00] Intro[00:01:36] Cindy Matejka's Journey to Hurricane[00:06:15] From Teaching to City Council[00:10:40] Finding Balance in Community Growth[00:19:48] Infrastructure and Public Safety[00:26:23] Election Tensions and Final Thoughts

Disclaimer: Please be advised that this episode contains content related to crisis situations. If these topics are challenging for you, you may wish to skip this episode or seek support.   When students are struggling with everything from friendship drama to thoughts of self-harm, the gap between needing help and getting it can feel insurmountable. And school leaders carry the weight of hundreds or thousands of students' well-being on their shoulders, knowing they can't possibly reach every child who needs support.   In this episode, I'm joined by Iuri Melo, a licensed clinical social worker and founder of School Pulse, to discuss a proactive approach to student mental health that's transforming how schools support their students. After losing seven students to suicide in his Southern Utah community in 2017, Iuri and his team developed a text-based support system that connects students with trained professionals 365 days a year. The service emerged from a principal's desperate plea for tools that could reach students before crisis struck, not just react after tragedy occurred.   Listen in to hear how, through real-time text conversations initiated twice weekly, School Pulse creates a bridge between students and support that feels safe, accessible, and immediate.   Find the full episode show notes and transcript, click here: https://angelakellycoaching.com/391

Living with OCD isn't just about managing anxiety—it's about reclaiming your life through your values. In this powerful episode of the OCD Whisperer Podcast, host Kristina Orlova welcomes OCD therapist Lennon Jones, founder of Golden Hour OCD and Anxiety, to explore how personal values bring clarity, purpose, and resilience to Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy.   ERP, first line treatment for OCD treatment, can often feel grueling, especially when it's reduced to simply "sitting with anxiety." Lennon shares why this approach can feel torturous without an internal compass—and how integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) shifts the focus from fear to meaning. Together, Kristina and Lennon unpack how clarifying your values (like connection, creativity, or service) can turn exposures from hollow tasks into empowering acts of self-trust.   They dive into psychological flexibility, the antidote to OCD's rigid thinking, and offer real-life examples of how values-based actions—even small ones—can help you live with purpose, despite intrusive thoughts. Whether you're just starting treatment or navigating setbacks, this episode offers hope, compassion, and actionable guidance for building a life driven by what matters most.   Tune in to learn how to stop living for certainty—and start living for your values. The 3 things you'll learn in  today's episode: What makes OCD treatment feel torturous—and how a simple mindset shift can change everything The surprising mistake many people make with exposure therapy (and what to do instead).

And if it doesn't have those values, beliefs, that trust in yourself behind it, a lot of times it can be torturous for people." —Lennon   [23:59] "Sometimes the exposure we're trying to do is exposing yourself to who you really are.." — Lennon   [11:48] "If I'm having a relationship-based OCD and not sure about my partner, but I know connection is a value for me, then yeah, maybe I'm going to go and spend time with my partner even though I'm feeling anxious and uncomfortable."— Kristina   [12:47] "A value per se is not measurable.
