Every married couple can benefit from having strategies for a healthy marriage. Marriage can be challenging, especially as couples grow individually. So how can couples overcome modern-day distractions to achieve a healthy marriage? Strategies for a healthy marriage include, but are not limited to, playfulness, honesty, intimacy, deep connection, and being anchored in faith to honor the sacred covenant. A healthy marriage translates into a healthy family. When your children see you working on your marriage and experience your joy in your marriage, they learn how to build healthy relationships, too. Fullfillment in life and relationship To maintain fulfillment at home, recognizing the significance of a healthy marriage is crucial. Understanding the Ripple Effect A healthy marriage serves as the foundation for a harmonious family life. When spouses collaborate to create a stable, loving home, children benefit immensely. The Importance of Connection over Disconnection Disconnection in marriage is not neutral; it breeds further discord. It can stealthily lead to emotional distress and, eventually, separation. Misconceptions and Realities about Intimacy Intimacy and vulnerability are key components of marriage that are often misunderstood or ignored. Statistics and Sobering Realities of Divorce Statistics highlight a troubling trend: nearly half of marriages end in divorce, and the rate is even higher in subsequent marriages. Strategies for a Healthy Marriage Building a resilient marriage involves practical strategies. Communication: The Bedrock of a Strong Marriage Effective communication is the cornerstone of any healthy marriage relationship. Miscommunication or lack of expression can lead to marital breakdown. Forgiveness and Healing in Marriage At times, marriages face betrayals or challenges that seem insurmountable. Forgiveness in these circumstances may be challenging, but it is key. Cultivating a Stronger Family Through a Strong Marriage A healthy marriage inherently benefits children, providing them with a model of love, teamwork, and communication. When parents invest in their relationship, children feel more secure and valued. Thus, nurturing your marriage not only fulfills you and uplifts your partner but also enriches your family's collective well-being. Revisiting these principles and strategies offers couples a pathway to nurture and sustain a healthy marriage. Through dedication and mutual understanding, couples can create a positive familial atmosphere where everyone thrives. Read the full show notes and access all links.

Commenting is up 24% quarter over quarter on LinkedIn.That number matters more than most people realize.It tells us three very clear things about what's actually working right now.First:- People are hungry for thoughtful, meaningful conversations.- Quick takes and surface-level posts get seen.- But content that makes people think is what gets talked about.Second:- Who you connect with matters more than how many people you connect with.- When your network is aligned with your ICP or true business allies, engagement becomes natural instead of forced.Third:- Thought leadership and educational content win when it's created for a specific audience.- Generic content gets scrolled past.- Content that speaks directly to your ICP invites comments, discussion, and real relationships.Here's the takeaway most people miss:Visibility isn't the goal anymore.Conversation is.If you want more reach, more trust, and more inbound opportunities, stop chasing volume and start building dialogue with the right people.That's what this episode breaks down step by step.Don't forget to register for our LinkedIn workshop here:https://www.thetimetogrow.com/AtoEonLinkedinWorkshop

I'm not sure if you noticed this, but there is a massive gap between what salespeople and leaders know and what they actually do. I’ve written 18 books and trained hundreds of thousands of salespeople. I can’t tell you how many times someone comes up to me and says, “Jeb, I read Fanatical Prospecting. Great book. But that stuff doesn’t work for me.” Or they’ll say, “I tried that objection handling technique you taught, but it didn’t work, so I went back to what I was doing before.” Here’s what they don't understand: The problem isn’t the technique. The problem is that they gave up too soon. The brutal truth is that most people fail to implement what they learn.  The Skate Park Lesson A couple of weeks ago, I was traveling for business, working with one of my clients' sales teams. One afternoon, I decided I needed some exercise, so I went for a walk. Along the way, I came across a skate park where kids were riding their skateboards and doing tricks. There was a bench nearby, so I sat down to watch for a while. Close to me was a group of young guys, probably 13 or 14 years old. They were huddled around a phone watching a YouTube video of someone doing a particular trick on their skateboard. They watched it, talked about it, and then one of them threw his skateboard down and attempted the trick. He immediately fell off and failed. The next kid tried, and he failed. Then the next one and the next one. All of them failed to do the trick.  So what did they do? They went back and watched the YouTube video again. Then they threw down their boards and crashed and burned, but this time, slightly less dramatically than the first time. They repeated this process over and over. Watch the video. Try the trick. Fail. Watch again. Try again. Fail a little less badly. Until finally, one of them nailed it. When he landed the trick, they all erupted. Clapping, fist pumping, and cheering. And once one kid got it, the rest of them started getting it too. They practiced until they had the trick nailed down, then went back to YouTube to find another trick to learn. At that point, I got up and headed back to my hotel. But as I was walking, I couldn’t stop thinking about what I’d just witnessed. Too Often, We Give Up too Soon How often do we do the exact opposite in business and sales? We read a book, watch a video, listen to a podcast. We hear about a technique or concept that sounds really good. And we think, “Yeah, I’m going to try that.” So we give it one shot. Maybe two if we’re feeling ambitious. And when it doesn’t work perfectly the first time, we say, “Well, this doesn’t work for me,” and we give up and never try it again. Or worse, we read the book, feel really good about the concept, then put the book down and never even attempt it at all because we've already convinced ourselves it wouldn’t work for us before we even tried. But here’s the thing: Those kids at the skate park didn’t look at that trick and say, “This looks hard, it probably won’t work for me.” They looked at it and said, “We’re going to figure this out.” They understood something that most adults have forgotten: Just because you read about something or see someone else do it, doesn’t mean you’re going to master it on the first try. The Homemade Yogurt Failure Paradigm  As I was walking back from the skate park, this lesson reminded me of something that had happened to me over the holidays. I’d seen something in my news feed about making homemade yogurt. It looked interesting, so I bought some milk, studied the recipe, and made an attempt. And I failed. My concoction didn’t turn into yogurt at all. My immediate reaction was, “Well, this isn’t going to work; it must be a bad recipe.” I gave up after one failed attempt. But after watching those kids at the skatepark, I realized the giving-up-too-soon trap I'd fallen into. So when I got home from my trip, I went back, reread the recipe, walked back through my steps to figure out what went wrong, and tried again. This time it worked, and I actually made yogurt. The recipe wasn’t the problem. My execution was the problem. And I only figured that out by trying again. The Human Overconfidence Fallacy  Here’s the lesson: We are all susceptible to this human fallacy of believing that we can read something, watch something, or hear something once and then immediately do it perfectly. When it doesn’t work the first time (or even the second time), we conclude that the technique is flawed, or it won't work for us, or our situation is unique and different. But the truth is, we gave up too soon, before we gave the technique a fair shot. That’s just being human. We’re wired for overconfidence, instant gratification, and immediate results. When we don’t get them, we move on. Why This Matters in Sales  Let me bring this back to sales, because this pattern will absolutely kill your results. You read a book on prospecting, learn a new cold calling technique, watch a sales training video on objection handling, or attend a conference or training and learn new ideas. Then you try it. Maybe it feels awkward, or the prospect reacts differently than you expected. Maybe you stumble over the words, or you get shut down and rejected. So you conclude it doesn’t work, and you go back to what you were doing before, which, by the way, wasn’t working either. That’s why you were looking for something new in the first place. Here’s what you’re missing: Sales is and always has been a numbers game. Statistics and the law of averages matter. Even the best techniques don’t work 100% of the time. You have to use them enough times to see the patterns and to understand what’s working and what needs adjustment. The Iteration Process Those kids at the skate park weren’t just repeating the same failed attempt over and over. They were iterating. They’d try the trick, fail, and then make a small adjustment. They’d watch the video again, notice something they missed the first time, and then talk to each other about what went wrong and what to try differently. That’s the process: Try, fail, learn, adjust, try again. But most people skip the “learn and adjust” part. They just try, fail, and quit. Let me give you a sales example. Say you’re trying a new prospecting email template. You send it to ten prospects and get no responses. The try-fail-quit people conclude the template doesn’t work. But a try-fail-learn-adjust-try again high performer would ask:  Did I send it to the right prospects?  Was my subject line compelling?  Was the timing right?  Did my call to action make sense?  Should I test a different version? They’d iterate and test different variables until they figured out what worked. That’s what separates top performers from everyone else. They don’t give up after one attempt. Instead, they iterate until they succeed. The Success Leaves Clues Principle Here’s something else those kids understood: If someone else is doing something successfully, that means it’s possible. When they watched that YouTube video, they didn’t say, “Well, that guy is just naturally talented.” They said, “If he can do it, we can figure out how to do it too.” This is the “success leaves clues” principle. If someone else is making something work, that’s proof it can work. Your job is to master their patterns and believe that you can make it work too. When you read a book like Fanatical Prospecting, and you see examples of people who built massive pipelines using these techniques, that’s not fiction. Those are real people who learned how to execute these strategies. When you watch a training video and see someone handle an objection smoothly, that’s not magic. It is someone who practiced that response dozens or hundreds of times until it became natural. The clues and evidence are there. The only question is: Are you willing to put in the practice and endure the failures until you get there yourself? The Practice Paradox Here’s the paradox that trips people up: The techniques that work best often feel the most awkward at first. That’s because they’re different from what you’ve been doing, and anything different feels uncomfortable. For example, when I teach salespeople to slow down and use silence in negotiations, they hate it. It feels unnatural. They want to fill the silence with words. But the ones who push through that discomfort and practice using silence close bigger deals at better margins. When I teach salespeople to ask for referrals using a specific framework, they feel like they’re being pushy or scripted. But the ones who practice the framework until it becomes conversational generate more referrals than they ever thought possible. The discomfort is temporary. The results are permanent. But you have to get through the discomfort in order to get to the results. 5 Keys to Mastering New Sales Skills So, how do you actually implement what you learn? Here’s what I recommend: First, commit to practicing any new technique at least twenty times before you decide if it works. Not once. Not twice. Twenty times minimum. That’s how long it takes to get past the awkwardness and start seeing results. Second, track your results. Don’t rely on your feelings about whether something is working. Write down what happened each time you tried the technique. Look for patterns and notice what’s improving. Third, iterate. If something isn’t working after multiple attempts, don’t just abandon it. Adjust it. What needs to change? What variable can you test differently? Fourth, find someone who’s making it work and learn from them. If you’re struggling with a technique that others are using successfully, reach out to them. Ask questions. Watch how they do it. Fifth, be patient with yourself. You’re not going to master anything instantly. Give yourself permission to be bad at something new while you’re trying to master it. Your Homework this Week Here’s what I want you to do this week: Pick one technique you learned recently – from a book, a podcast, a training – and commit to trying it at least twenty times this week. Track what happens each time. Notice what’s working and what’s not, make small adjustments, and keep at it. Because here’s the truth: The techniques work. But you must put in the work before they will work for you.   Those kids at the skate park didn’t give up after the first fall. They kept going until they nailed the trick. That’s what separates winners from everyone else. Not talent, luck, or some magical gift. Just the willingness to try, fail, learn, adjust, and try again until you get it right. And remember, when it’s time to go home, make one more call. Because that one more call is one more rep, one more attempt to get better, and one more step toward mastering your craft.   One way to become a stronger sales professional and leader is the OutBound Conference.

Today, we expose the hard truth about the Bureau of Labor Statistics. an agency still relying on outdated models and lagging data while so-called “analysts” inside quietly massage the numbers to make President Trump and his economic policies look worse than reality. We dug deeper and found a far better way to measure what’s really happening in the economy and it tells a very different story. According to the CEO of Vertical Research Advisory, the federal government’s economic data can no longer be trusted. Americans are being deliberately misled. The truth? The Trump Economic Miracle is much further along than the mainstream media will admit. Growth is real, momentum is building, and despite the fear porn pushed nightly on cable news, this bull market is nowhere near finished. If you rely on government stats to make investment decisions, you need to hear this—because the real economy is stronger than they want you to believe.

Henry Ergas joins John to explore the erosion of historical understanding, the rise of ideological extremism, and the weakening of social cohesion across Western nations. Ergas argues that a balance of freedom and order are needed to sustain societies or else they will risk succumbing to the enemies of democracy, who possess a vitriolic hatred of the present, yet no unifying vision of the future. The discussion critiques the evolution of multicultural ideology and the rise of antisemitism in Australia, and assesses the slow decay of shared history, identity and hopes that once defined the nation. This conversation is a sober assessment of the challenges confronting liberal democracies and the values required to preserve them.Henry Ergas AO is an economist who spent many years at the OECD in Paris before returning to Australia. He has taught at many universities including Harvard's Kennedy School of Government and the National School of Statistics and Economic Administration in Paris. He is one of Australia's foremost public intellectuals.

It's Thursday, January 22nd, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Chinese-American Christians pray for those in China Chinese-American Christians are praying for their persecuted brothers and sisters back in China. Earlier this month, Harvest Chinese Christian Church in Los Angeles held an event called “Fasting Prayer Meeting for Persecuted Churches in China.” The event comes shortly after Chinese authorities detained the leaders of Early Rain Covenant Church. The congregation, like many “unregistered” churches in China, faces relentless persecution. International Christian Concern commented, “Please pray for these house church members in China, especially those who have been imprisoned or are missing after the police raids.” 1 Corinthians 12:26 says, “If one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.” China's birth rate plunged to a record low in 2025 Speaking of China, the country's birth rates plunged to a record low in 2025. New data from China's National Bureau of Statistics found there were 7.92 million births last year, down 17% from 2024. The birth rate in 2025 was 5.63 per 1,000 people. Meanwhile, the death rate rose to 8.04 per 1,000 people. Despite China's recent attempts to incentivize families to have children, the population has now fallen for the fourth consecutive year. In Genesis 1:28, God commanded, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the Earth and subdue it.” British Christian nurse vindicated for calling a man “Mister” In the United Kingdom, a National Health Service hospital recently dropped its case against a Christian nurse. Jennifer Melle worked at St. Helier Hospital in south London. She faced suspension after referring to a man, pretending to be a woman, as “Mister.” Listen to comments she made after her vindication. MELLE: “I am deeply relieved and grateful to hear that St Helier [Hospital] has confirmed it would no longer take further action against me. This has been an incredibly long and painful journey.   “Today, I want to give thanks, first and foremost, to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who has sustained me every step of the way.” Young Canadians are planning to vote conservative Young adults in Canada are planning to vote conservative in the country's next election. A survey by Abacus Data found 50% of Canadians aged 18 to 29 would vote for the Conservative Party. Only 27% of that demographic would vote for the Liberal Party. The strongest support for the Liberals comes from people over 60. A decade of liberal polices has led to higher living costs, higher inflation, and higher taxes. Trump: “I will not use force” to get Greenland Yesterday, U.S. President Donald Trump addressed the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland.  Notably, he announced that the United States would not use force to acquire Greenland. TRUMP: “We probably won't get anything unless I decide to use excessive strength and force, where we would be, frankly, unstoppable. But I won't do that. Okay. Now everyone's saying, ‘Oh, good!' “That's probably the biggest statement I've made because people thought I would use force. I don't have to use force. I don't want to use force. I won't use force.” President Trump also announced he will not be imposing tariffs on Denmark over the acquisition of Greenland. He wrote on Truth Social, “We have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region.” Arrests coming for Minneapolis leftists who invaded church service The Trump administration is investigating anti-ICE protesters who disrupted a house of worship in Minneapolis on Sunday. Kristi Noem, the Department of Homeland Security Secretary, wrote on X, “Arrests coming. … The First Amendment protects speech and peaceful assembly – not rioting. … These agitators will be held accountable.” The Department of Justice is also investigating the incident at Cities Church. Major snowstorm hits East Coast to Rocky Mountains The National Weather Service is expecting a significant winter storm to hit a large portion of the U.S. starting Friday. Heavy snow, sleet, and freezing rain is forecast all the way from the southern Rockies to the East Coast.  Much of the U.S. is already experiencing dangerously cold weather. Over 40 million people were under cold weather alerts as of Tuesday. Even parts of Florida are under alert. 463rd anniversary of Heidelberg Catechism And finally, this week marks the 463rd anniversary of the Heidelberg Catechism. The Protestant catechism was commissioned by Frederick III, the ruler of Germany's most influential province of Palatinate. The purpose of the catechism was for instructing the youth and for guiding pastors and teachers The catechism was the product of two young Protestant scholars—Zacharius Ursinus and Caspar Olevianus. The catechism was approved by a church synod in Heidelberg, Germany and published in German on January 19, 1563. It would become the most widely used catechism of the Reformation period.  The catechism's opening question reads, “What is your only comfort in life and death?” The answer begins, “That I am not my own, but belong—body and soul, in life and in death—to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ.” Romans 14:8 says, “For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's.”  Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, January 22nd, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

When it comes to studying conflict, there is obvious data to examine: spending on arms, the number of people killed or injured, and the amount of land won or lost. What's harder to track are the indirect effects of conflict, the ways it produces deaths over time, or its impacts on public health. Researchers are trying to find ways to account for the sometimes less obvious impacts of conflict, and that's the focus of this episode of Stats and Stories with guest Xiao Hui Tai. Xiao Hui Tai is an assistant professor of statistics at the University of California Davis' Department of Statistics. Her research interests include the use of non-traditional data sources to study problems in data-scarce settings. With the current focus on global public health and estimating the consequences of violent conflict, she's the author of the Significance article Counting the True Cost of War.

Generative AI is moving fast—and in pharma, it's no longer just a buzzword. In this episode of The Effective Statistician Podcast, I speak with Manuel Cossio about how Generative AI is already being applied in real-world pharma settings, where it's delivering value today, and what still needs careful consideration in regulated environments. Manuel brings a unique hybrid background, combining molecular biology, genetics, pharma experience, and deep AI engineering expertise. He works at the cutting edge of AI in clinical development, including agentic systems, human-in-the-loop approaches, and large-scale document automation. This conversation goes well beyond theory. We focus on practical use cases, real limitations, and how statisticians, programmers, and data scientists can responsibly use GenAI to become more effective.

Bobby and Alex open by discussing (you guessed it) the Los Angeles Dodgers signing Kyle Tucker to a jaw-dropping four year, $240 million contract. They discuss whether this has any impact whatsoever on the impending lockout and what, if anything, we should read into this about the state of baseball economics. Then, they're joined by Good Friend of the Show Jen Ramos Eisen to discuss, among other things, private equity in minor league baseball, the Joker, Series C funding, and the nascent Women's Professional Baseball League.Links:Follow Jen on BlueskyThe WPBL Has Teams and Players Now⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Tipping Pitches Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tipping Pitches merchandise ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Call the Tipping Pitches voicemail: 785-422-5881Tipping Pitches features original music from Steve Sladkowski of PUP.

Are you a high achieving man who is crushing it in your career—yet feeling powerless at home, disconnected from your family, or weighed down by old patterns? On this week's episode of Love University, we sat down with Mitchell Osmond—trusted advisor, executive coach, and host of The Dad Nation Podcast (www.dadnationco.com)—to unpack how high‑performing men can break through personal struggle, reclaim their health and relationships, and build a legacy that matters with their loved ones. After overcoming his own challenges—being overweight, deeply in debt, and nearly divorced—Mitchell has spent over a decade helping men and their partners bridge the gap between success in the boardroom and success at home. Here are three powerful insights from our conversation: Transformation begins with ownership—not escape. Mitchell's journey wasn't linear: he was 50 lbs. overweight, nearly $100K in debt, and in a failing marriage when a simple question shifted his life: If you died today, would you be proud of your legacy? That wake‑up call inspired him to take ownership—rebuilding his body, restoring his marriage, and realigning his finances. Today he teaches that confronting personal truth head‑on—not numbing with distractions—is the first step toward growth. His story shows that recovery and performance aren't just about willpower—they're about clarity of purpose. Men's suffering at home reflects disconnection—not weakness. Mitchell highlights a stark reality: a significant number of men are highly effective at work but emotionally disconnected at home. Statistics show that when they get home, many men spend thousands of hours a year on screens and face rising loneliness—moreover, having an absent father (mentally or physically) strongly correlates with negative outcomes for children. The Dad Nation movement provides a solution by helping men build emotional connection with their partners and children—teaching that strength isn't just productivity, it's being present, listening, and meeting emotional needs. That integration of ambition with emotional awareness is what fuels lasting success. Winning in life requires a holistic, actionable framework. What separates success from stagnation? Mitchell offers a four‑pillar approach that aligns ambition with fulfillment: Relationship Solidification — making your partner feel seen, heard, and safe. Body Renovation — disciplined health and fitness for energy and confidence. Mind Transformation — intentional focus on time, energy, and emotional fitness. Goal Implementation — clear, purpose‑driven objectives that shape daily action. He emphasizes that confidence doesn't always come first—it's often the result of consistent effort in mind, body, and relationship. Whether you're a dad, a mom, or even a single person, these four pillars can help you overcome stagnation and achieve your full potential. Your life of integration and holistic success begins now.

An alternative to a retirement home in a mansion near Toulouse, where residents have invented a new way of living together and contributing to society. The David-and-Goliath story of an independent Parisian cinema that's reopening after years of fighting eviction. And the story behind France's annual census.  Scandals over abuse of the elderly in French care homes, combined with growing loneliness among pensioners, are forcing reflection on how – and where – people spend their later years. Three decades after founding the Utopia network of independent cinemas, Anne-Marie Faucon and Michel Malacarnet have turned their energy and experience towards imagining an alternative to traditional retirement homes. Their project, La Ménardiere, is an 18th-century mansion in the small town of Bérat, in south-west France. It operates as a shared-living collective, where residents, known as coopérateurs, are also shareholders. By taking control of their own destinies, they have created a model that also provides services and cultural activities for the surrounding community. Residents describe the approach as ageing together in a house that is “on the offensive”. (Listen @4') La Clef, an historic arthouse cinema in Paris, has reopened its doors after a group of residents, cinephiles and activists spent years protesting its closure. Ollia Horton met some of those who took part in a years-long occupation of the theatre that resulted in the activists raising enough money to buy the building from owners who wanted to sell the prime piece of real estate in the centre of the city. (Listen @21'48'') As census-takers fan out around France to begin the annual counting of the population, we look at a process that started in the 14th century. During World War II the census was co-opted by Nazi occupiers to identify Jews, and while it has since stripped out questions relating to race and religion, it recently added controversial ones about parental origins.

In this episode, Joseph and Paula are diving into one of the most discussed mental health topics of our time: ADHD — and the increasingly common question, “Do I have ADHD, or am I just overwhelmed?”With constant notifications, fast-paced routines, and pressure to stay plugged in, many of us struggle to focus. We break down what ADHD actually is, how it differs from everyday distraction, and why modern life makes concentration so challenging. We'll talk through symptoms, the diagnostic process, when it may be time to seek support, and the surprising ways ADHD shows up differently in children and adults.Paula shares her own ADHD experience, including what life looked like before her diagnosis, while Joseph walks us through eye-opening statistics and clinical definitions that help bring clarity to a confusing topic.We also explore situational distraction—the temporary, environment-based overstimulation so many people mistake for ADHD—and how to tell the difference. From tracking your personal patterns to understanding lifelong traits, we offer insight into when distraction might be something deeper.To help you manage focus in a busy world, we share practical tools anyone can use: environmental tweaks, body and mind practices, digital boundaries, the Pomodoro technique, and habits backed by Harvard Business Review research. You'll learn about energy patterns, active listening, meaningful breaks, and strategies for emotional regulation.At the heart of this episode is a simple truth: understanding your brain is an act of self-awareness, not weakness. When you recognize your limits, strengths, and patterns, you can work with your mind—not against it.Whether you live with ADHD, think you might, or just feel chronically distracted, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and actionable support to help you move through your days with more focus and ease.Resources used or mentioned in this episode: Adult ADHD: The Latest & Greatest Stats for 2025Data and Statistics on ADHD | Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) | CDCThe Pomodoro Technique — Why it works & how to do it7 Habits to Stay Focused in a World Full of Distractions from the Harvard Business Review

Tim Harford investigates some of the numbers in the news. This week: A headline in the Mail says more than 100 private schools have closed since Labour came to power and ended the VAT exemption for private schools. Is that number right? Is it true that when Covid hit the UK, a one-week delay in imposing lockdown led to 23,000 deaths? Do 10 million families rely on X as their main source of news? That's what government spokesperson Baroness Ruth Anderson said in the House of Lords, but is it correct? s there really a “quiet revival” of Christian worship? Two YouGov polls found churchgoing had gone up by 50% between 2018 and 2024 in England and Wales. New polling data suggests otherwise.

Send us a textIn light of the disturbing and seemingly relentless news surrounding child exploitation, abuse, and trafficking, we are revisiting a powerful and deeply moving conversation that feels more urgent than ever.From high-profile allegations involving public figures to devastating revelations within trusted institutions, the message is clear – this is not isolated, and it is not rare. Statistics show that 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 20 boys experience childhood sexual abuse. Experts believe the real numbers are far higher, as most cases go unreported. The most vulnerable are children between the ages of 7 and 13.Our guest, Kyeni Matee (pronounced Chain-ee), knows this reality firsthand.A professional violinist, youth orchestra teacher, and new author, Kyeni courageously shares her story of abuse that began when she was just seven or eight years old and continued for years. In her book, The Eyes Behind the Violin: Finding My True Identity, she chronicles not only the trauma, but the long road toward healing.Music became her lifeline. Therapy helped her process. Faith anchored her survival.This episode is not easy—but it is necessary.Kyeni's story is one of resilience, truth-telling, and reclaiming identity after it has been stolen. It is also a call to action. We cannot remain silent. If you see something, say something. Teach children to trust their instincts. Protect them. Believe them.This conversation honors survivors—and reminds us why accountability matters.Content Warning: This episode discusses childhood sexual abuse and may be difficult for some listeners.Support Resources This episode discusses childhood sexual abuse and may be difficult for some listeners.If you or someone you love needs support:988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (U.S.) – call or text 988RAINN National Sexual Assault Hotline – 800-656-hopeIf you are outside the U.S., please contact your local crisis or child advocacy center.Support the show https://buymeacoffee.com/agelessglamourgirls www.linkedin.com/in/marqueetacurtishaynes www.agelessglamourgirls.com https://www.shopltk.com/explore/AgelessGlamourGirls https://www.youtube.com/@agelessglamourgirls Instagram @agelessglamourgirls Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agelessglamourgirls Private (AGG) FB Group: The Ageless Café: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theagelesscafe TikTok: @agelessglamourgirls Podcast Producers: Ageless Glamour Girls and Purple Tulip Media, LLC

Child sexual abuse is far more common than most parents realize: 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually abused by age 18. But there's hope. In one of the most powerful episodes I've recorded, I sit down with childhood sexual abuse survivor and activist Erin Merryn, who has spent 15 years getting Erin's Law passed in 38 states. This groundbreaking legislation requires K-12 schools to teach personal body safety education - giving children the language and knowledge to "get away and tell today." Erin shares her journey from survivor to advocate, the real reasons some states resist this life-saving education, and the incredible stories of other children whose lives have been changed (and saved) by learning this law. In This Episode: What Erin's Law is and why it's being passed state-by-state across America (and internationally) The difference between "personal body safety education" and sex education Statistics, such as "90% of child sexual abuse is committed by someone the child knows and trusts, NOT strangers" How to access FREE curriculum and resources through the Erin's Law Foundation What parents & supporters can do right now to support this legislation in the remaining 12 states About Erin Merryn: Erin Merryn is an author, activist, and survivor who has dedicated her life to protecting children from sexual abuse. Erin's Law has passed in 38 states, Ontario (Canada), and a state in India. She's currently working on a documentary following her legislative journey, expected to release in 2027.

SAUL'S COMMISSION (Acts 9:9-31) As I prepared the lesson this week, I began to consider how it described the tremendous life changing effect that accepting Jesus as your Savior can have.  Statistics tell us that the vast majority of conversions take place when a person is young.  In fact, the older a person gets, the less likely they are to accept the conviction of the Holy Spirit.  This is why is it is so important that our children are taught the Word of God from an early age.  For an adult, accepting Christ may mean changing your friends, changing the way you spend your entertainment time, and changing what you watch on TV and social media.  It can mean being ridiculed by, or even ostracized from, your family.   All of your preconceived notions about God that have been engrained in your mind from our public education system and the media, about the absolute moral truths that are found in the Bible, your ideas about the Bible itself, and about who Jesus is, and what He did for you, are suddenly changed.  For many new believers, there is a period of loneliness as they move away from old relationships and search for new ones.   In today's lesson we will see Saul go through this change, and then we will see Barnabas as he befriends the new Saul when no one else would, and then we will see the power of the Holy Spirit create a tremendous new warrior for Christ in Saul.  If nothing else, this lesson should challenge each of us to be open to welcoming new believers, mentoring them, and letting them know that they have a brand new family to be a part of.   Saul, who later became the Apostle Paul, was a chosen vessel, as we all are.  No two believers are alike.  We all have been prepared by God to do His will in this world.  Saul was the vessel chosen to carry the saving name of Jesus before the Gentiles, kings, and Israel, in that order.  He was to be more than anything else, an apostle to the Gentiles.  His training and his background prepared him in ways that not even Peter could match.  Nobody else within the new church had Paul's intellect, and training, and God would use these tools to the good of His will.   Click on the link below to hear a message on how Saul of Tarsus, the greatest enemy of the body of Christ, became the apostle Paul, the greatest missionary of the Gentile world.   This is a live recording of The Master's Class Bible Study at LifeChange Church Wichita, KS.

In our new series Going it Alone we hear from women about their experiences of having a child without a partner. These are women who are having donor conceived children, which is different to single mums who may have split up with the child's father. Statistics show that more women than ever in the UK are choosing to become solo mums by choice. Lucy tells us her story. Nina Barnsley, Director of the Donor Conception Network and Clare Ettinghausen, a Director at the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority join Nuala McGoven to discuss the legal and practical implications. A chemotherapy nurse is so concerned about the rates of breast cancer she has seen in women under 50 that she's started a parliamentary petition to get the age of mammograms reduced to 40 and for them to be annual. Currently women get their first screening between the ages of 50 and 53 and then get screened every 3 years. Anita Rani talks to nurse Gemma Reeves and to Dr Sacha Howell from the Christie Hospital in Manchester about how the breast screening programme could be improved.Ten people have been found guilty of cyber-bullying Brigitte Macron, the wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, by a Paris court, but that is not the end of the lawsuits. Next up, it's the Macrons against the controversial right-wing podcaster Candace Owens in a US civil court. They've accused her of mounting “a campaign of global humiliation”. Nuala hears from Sophie Pedder from The Economist, in Paris, and BBC journalist Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty.Chloé Zhao is only the second woman and first woman of colour to win an Oscar for Best Director. She returns with one of the year's most anticipated films, Hamnet. Adapted from Maggie O'Farrell's bestselling novel, it reimagines the lives of Anne Hathaway and William Shakespeare, exploring how the loss of their 11-year-old son Hamnet shaped their marriage and inspired Hamlet. Chloe co-wrote and directed the film and speaks to Anita.The city of Leicester has seen a wave of all-female punk rock bands in the past five years, so how is it reshaping the local music scene? Around 27 all-female bands have grown from a movement founded by Ruth Miller. Called the Unglamorous Music Project, it's enabled women to learn instruments and form bands together. Ruth died from breast cancer in 2023, but her aim to get more older women into the music industry and onto the stage has materialised. Janet Berry and Alison Dunne are two of the women involved. We hear their music and talk to them about their inspiration.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Dianne McGregor

Incident Overview ICE agents were conducting operations in Minneapolis when a woman blocked their vehicles and refused repeated commands to exit her car. She allegedly accelerated toward an ICE agent, prompting the officer to fire through the windshield, resulting in her death. The shooting is described as defensive and necessary to prevent harm to law enforcement officers. Context and Escalation The woman had been stalking and obstructing ICE agents throughout the day. It portrays her actions as part of a broader pattern of “political vigilanteism” and domestic terrorism, citing an increase in vehicle ramming attacks against ICE agents. Political Commentary Left-wing activists and Democratic officials are encouraging lawlessness and violence against federal officers. Quotes from officials like Secretary of Homeland Security and political figures are included, reinforcing support for ICE and condemning anti-ICE rhetoric. Statistics and Broader Trends A reported 1,300% increase in assaults and an 8,000% increase in death threats against ICE agents.

Slavery did not end in the nineteenth century—it persists today, hidden in global supply chains, religious justifications, and systems of power. Kevin Bales and Michael Rota join Evan Rosa to explore modern slavery through history, psychology, and theology, asking why it remains so difficult to see and confront.“It's time some person should see these calamities to their end.” (Thomas Clarkson, 1785)“There are millions of slaves in the world today.” (Kevin Bales, 2025)In this episode, they consider how conscience, power, and religious belief can either sustain enslavement or become forces for abolition. Together they discuss the psychology of slaveholding, faith's complicity and resistance, Quaker abolitionism, modern debt bondage, ISIS and Yazidi slavery, and what meaningful action looks like today.https://freetheslaves.net/––––––––––––––––––Episode Highlights“There are millions of slaves in the world today.”“Statistics isn't gonna do it.

Give to help Chris make Truce Given the recent events in Venezuela, I have decided to run a classic episode from season 3. The question of our era is not "why did we do this?" but "why do we keep doing this?" Why does the United States continue to overthrow other countries? God willing, I'll be back next week with a new episode about Pat Robertson. Discussion Questions: What threat did President Jacobo Arbenz pose to United Fruit? United Fruit owned many utilities in Guatemala from the trains to telephone lines. How would you feel if our utilities were owned by foreign entities? If they controlled our natural resources? Do you think the land reform deal was a good one for their country? Were people like John Foster Dulles right to overthrow Arbenz? How might it have benefited them to do so? In what way could the actions of the US in the 1950s reflect poorly on Christianity domestically and abroad? It has been argued that American consumers benefit when Latin American and African countries are thrown in disarray. It means cheaper diamonds, gold, rubber, and more while also stranding the people in those countries in poverty. Does it bother you that you may be benefiting from unbalanced countries? Do you find the assumption that we are benefiting to be offensive? Why? Is there anything we can do about it?
