Power is often found in presence, not perfection—and Brandon McAnderson brings that truth to life in this deeply reflective conversation. From redefining partnership through awareness and intention, to unpacking the inner stories men carry about identity, masculinity, and self-worth, Brandon shares a grounded perspective on what it means to show up fully in relationships, fatherhood, and community. He challenges the idea of "percentage-based love," inviting listeners instead into wholeness, reciprocity without scorekeeping, and intentional space-making for others to thrive.  The conversation expands into a powerful exploration of storytelling—how the narratives we repeat can either reinforce limitation or unlock healing and growth. Brandon speaks candidly about ego protection, generational cycles, and the responsibility of rewriting inherited beliefs so the next generation can experience more freedom, connection, and authenticity. Through lived experience and cultural reflection, he offers a compelling reminder that breaking cycles begins with awareness, and community is often found simply by choosing to show up.  Key Takeaways:   True partnership is about showing up fully, not exchanging percentages of effort or love.   When men detach from external labels, they can reconnect with their deeper sense of self and purpose.   Many internal narratives are rooted in ego protection, not truth, and can be rewritten with awareness.   Growth happens when we consciously choose to shift patterns passed down through family and culture.   Transformation doesn't require perfection—just willingness to show up, participate, and engage.   We couldn't highlight incredible stories like this without the support of our sponsor, CommunityAmerica Credit Union. Thank you for helping us promote connection, well-being, and stronger communities.

Together, they've built tools and methodologies that are changing how clinicians understand and measure what's actually happening inside the brain.The conversation covers how data is reshaping diagnostic accuracy, what AI is making possible in neurotherapy, and why defining a 'healthy brain' is more complex — and more important — than most people realize.

Australian magpies are even cleverer birds than we thought. New research from Dr Stephanie Mason shows that they do two language-like things we used to think only humans could do: learn their calls socially, and combine their calls in a way that looks a lot like syntax. So are we calling this language? If so, how are the linguists taking it? Stephanie joins us to talk about magpies, media, and the territoriality of linguists.

“Perimenopause likes to really throw us through a loop, and things that might have previously been stable no longer feel so predictable.” - Vanessa Weiland, NP, HT, MSCPEven with the expanding conversation on perimenopause, our clients and patients with chronic illness are still being left out. The one-size-fits-all approach doesn't address those with hypermobility syndromes, mast cell activation syndrome, dysautonomia, or complex chronic illness. In perimenopause, conditions you've dealt with for years can change significantly. Symptoms that were manageable for years suddenly become more intense, pain patterns shift, sleep becomes less reliable, and many women find themselves wondering whether this is "just perimenopause" or something else entirely.What makes this phase especially challenging is that hormones don't operate in isolation. Estrogen, progesterone, connective tissue health, immune function, mast cells, autonomic regulation, sleep, and stress physiology interact simultaneously. Myopically looking at menopause through the lens of hot flashes and hormone replacement therapy makes us miss the much more complex reality facing women who are already navigating chronic health conditions. For these patients, finding stability often requires a more personalized and layered approach.In today's episode, I'm joined by Vanessa Weiland, a nurse practitioner, menopause specialist, and founder of Phases Clinic, known online as Bendy Menopause. Vanessa shares her journey with hypermobility and chronic pain and explains why perimenopause can be such a pivotal transition for women with connective tissue disorders and related conditions. We discuss the relationship between hormones, mast cells, and the nervous system, why standard menopause protocols don't always work for this population, how progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone can affect symptoms differently, practical strategies for building a supportive clinical team, the overlap between hypermobility, long Covid, trauma, chronic pain, and neurodiversity, why small, individualized changes over time are often the key to helping these patients feel better, and more.Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!---Learn more or watch the video version of this conversation at https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/bendy-menopause-strategies-for-care-with-heds-and-other-hypermobility-spectrum-disorders-with-vanessa-weiland/.Connect with me and access our entire platform at IntegrativeWomensHealthInstitute.com (https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/).Find and follow us @integrativewomenshealth on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@integrativewomenshealth) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/integrativewomenshealth/).

On this unaired edition of The Update Journal from 2/5/26, we enter a world where everything is “smart,” but somehow nobody is in charge.First up: “If Everything Is Smart, Nothing Is Independent” — a closer look at the 2026 HGTV Dream Home, a beautiful, futuristic house packed with smart lights, smart appliances, smart security, smart thermostats, and apparently one very powerful villain: Spectrum internet. Because nothing says “dream home” like realizing your $2.5 million luxury escape can be defeated by a router blinking orange in the corner. The refrigerator knows your grocery list, the blinds adjust themselves, the oven preheats from your phone — but the second the Wi-Fi goes out, congratulations, you now live in a very expensive cave with recessed lighting.Then: “When the Phone Goes Away, Time Itself Stops Existing” — lessons learned from the NYC school phone ban, where students are discovering that without their phones, analog clocks might as well be ancient hieroglyphics. Teachers are pointing at the wall saying, “Class ends at 2:15,” and students are staring back like they've been asked to decode the Zodiac Killer's last letter. The phone ban was supposed to help kids focus, but it also revealed a shocking truth: for some students, if the time isn't glowing in the corner of a screen, time is just a rumor.It's an episode about modern convenience, old-school survival skills, and the terrifying realization that between a smart house and a smartphone, we may have accidentally outsourced basic human independence to Wi-Fi and battery life.

Peter Henry is a first-generation farmer who manages a diverse, seven-hectare operation in the mountainous terrain of Puerto Rico alongside a dedicated four-person workforce. He transitioned to agriculture during the pandemic after a successful career as a tech executive and startup vice president, initially purchasing the abandoned land with the intent of establishing a shade-grown specialty coffee farm. After encountering significant challenges with his initial coffee crops, Peter successfully shifted his operation toward passion fruit and a highly specialized niche market growing traditional African heirloom vegetables and tubers for buyers in the United States and Canada.   Peter focuses heavily on biological soil health and precise nutritional balance instead of conventional chemical applications. He works closely with Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA) to run on-farm trials and design sophisticated nutritional programs using AEA's data-driven inputs. By utilizing rigorous soil testing to address extreme iron and manganese imbalances, Peter designs custom foliar stacks delivered through a specialized micro-sprinkler system to proactively build plant immunity and suppress heavy tropical disease pressure.   In this episode, John and Peter discuss: How Peter manages a complex landscape by separating the farm into distinct irrigation sectors to address vastly different soil mineral profiles on opposite sides of a river . Utilizing an aggressive pre-planting soil amendment strategy that combines lime and custom humic-complexed fertilizers based on comprehensive soil tests . How the operation completely avoids synthetic nitrogen applications because excess nitrogen immediately triggers insect pressure and fungal blights across his pepper and okra crops . Peter designing an innovative micro-sprinkler trellis system to broadcast humics and biology over multiple hectares in just over an hour . Mixing AEA's Humacarb, HoloPhos, and Spectrum directly into the irrigation system to actively inoculate both the soil and plant foliage with beneficial microbes . How running an on-farm trial of AEA's Pinion product for six weeks successfully eliminated severe bacterial leaf spot and stem issues on highly susceptible heirloom bell pepper crops . Integrating AEA's Rebound Copper alongside Rebound Molybdenum to completely reverse visual deficiencies and provide a dramatic greening effect on the farm's terraced pepper fields . Utilizing AEA's SeaShield and MacroPak to safely deliver trace organic nitrogen and essential amino acids without overriding the plants' reproductive cycles .  Additional Resources To follow Peter's farm on Instagram, please visit: https://www.instagram.com/imfarmerpete/ or imfarmerpete on the app. To learn more about AEA's products, please visit: https://advancingecoag.com To learn more about AEA's Pinion, please visit: https://advancingecoag.com/product/pinion/ About John Kempf John Kempf is the founder of Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA).

Many parents worry that setting boundaries will upset their child or damage connection.Healthy boundaries actually help children feel safer, calmer, and more emotionally secure.Children thrive when adults provide:clear expectations,consistent routines,and calm responses during difficult moments.When boundaries are inconsistent, children may struggle with emotional regulation, tantrums, aggression, anxiety, or testing limits because they are still learning where safety exists.A boundary is not punishment.A boundary is a calm limit that teaches safety, respect, and emotional regulation.Your child may cry, yell, or become frustrated when you hold a limit. That does not mean the boundary is wrong. It means they are learning how to handle disappointment with support.You can stay calm, connected, and firm:“I hear you.”“I know this is hard.”“And the answer is still no.”Children do not need perfect parents.They need adults who are predictable, emotionally safe, and willing to lead with both connection and structure.Connection before correction does not mean no boundaries.It means we guide children with empathy while still teaching limits.Close your eyes and take a deep belly breath.

If you're a software engineer right now, you likely feel like your world is changing overnight. We are writing half or less the amount of code that we wrote even a year ago, which represents a seismic, groundbreaking shift in our industry. For many of us, this career has always been engaging for deeply creative and intellectual reasons—and that excitement is still here. But our mental models of what it means to be a good engineer, and what it means to keep improving, have gone a little stale. In today's episode, I want to talk about a distinction that I believe will become the cornerstone mistake for seasoned engineers: confusing _practice_ with _adaptation_, and leaning on the wrong one at the worst possible moment. Two Surfaces Coming Into Contact: Picture your knowledge, skills, and toolset as one surface, and the actual state of the art as another. We've always known the surface area we could learn far exceeds what we can learn, which forces us to place bets on a learning strategy. What's changing is how fast that second surface is moving underneath us. Improvement by Practice vs. Improvement by Change: Practice is wielding what you've already adopted—smoothing out errors, building muscle memory, refining what you already know. Adaptation is fundamentally folding something new into your repertoire. Both are real forms of improvement, but they are not interchangeable. The Cornerstone Mistake for Senior Engineers: Later in your career, the time you spend adapting naturally goes down as you settle into practice. The biggest error I'm already watching engineers make is moving too quickly toward practice when the industry is loudly calling for adaptation instead. Inspect and Adapt—at the Right Altitude: Sprint retros were never really about getting marginally better at the thing you already do. The intent of "inspect and adapt" is to step up one level and examine the system. The trap is treating adaptation like a minor refinement—getting a little better at prompting—when it should mean asking whether you're thinking about prompting in the wrong way entirely. Question the Ratio, Not Just the Output: Real adaptation looks like asking whether you have the right mix of human and agent on a problem. Are you leaning on the agent for things you shouldn't, or failing to lean on it for the things you should? Have you genuinely thought about how sub-agents or an agent team are working the problem you're producing? A Spectrum, Not a Binary: On one end, you make micro-adjustments to your refinement process. On the other end of experimentation, you ask whether refinement—or even having engineers plan the work—is the right thing at all. The point isn't that practice is dead; it's that the industry is changing fast enough that the adaptive end of that spectrum deserves far more of your attention than it used to. Episode Homework: Take something you currently treat as a practice problem—"how do I refine tickets faster?"—and step up a level. Ask the adaptive version of the question instead: "Is refinement even the right thing anymore?"

There are certain questions humanity may never answer.Are aliens real?What happens after death?And most importantly… are any of us actually cool?This episode of The Rizzuto Show starts with a seemingly harmless discussion about “coolness” and immediately devolves into absolute nonsense in the best possible way. The gang debates whether being cool is confidence, mystery, talent, or just owning sunglasses indoors without looking ridiculous. Somehow Samuel L. Jackson ends up crowned America's coolest celebrity while Ryan Reynolds takes multiple unnecessary strays for allegedly becoming the human version of expensive scented soap.Things only get weirder from there.The crew dives headfirst into one of the most unexpectedly nostalgic conversations ever: iconic 80s and 90s album covers. We're talking Appetite for Destruction, Dookie, Korn, Pearl Jam, Thriller, Rage Against the Machine, Aerosmith, Poison, Nirvana, and a bunch of records that permanently altered teenage bedrooms across America. If you ever spent hours staring at CD booklet artwork pretending you understood symbolism, this episode is basically therapy.There's also:Weird Al getting a Broadway musicalAqua breaking up after nearly 30 yearsDr. Hook appreciation from out of nowhereMusic festival streaming announcementsCountry chart dominationCelebrity deaths and tributesA discussion about hiding weapons around your house that somehow became weirdly wholesomeLove on the Spectrum entering the country music worldAnd the triumphant return of Match Up With The MoronsThis comedy podcast somehow manages to mix pop culture commentary, music nostalgia, celebrity gossip, random chaos, and complete derailments into one giant beautifully broken radio sandwich. It's the kind of comedy podcast that reminds you why morning radio still matters: because nowhere else will you hear heartfelt appreciation for Pearl Jam immediately followed by someone talking about bolt cutters and baby deer.Whether you're here for the funny stories, the music talk, the celebrity nonsense, or just because your coworkers are unbearable and you need a break, this comedy podcast delivers the exact level of chaos your brain probably deserves.The Rizzuto Show continues proving daily that professionalism is technically optional.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
