When markets shift, most agents wait. They wait for clarity. They wait for confidence. They wait for proof that a new approach is “working.” Productive agents don't wait. Right now a quiet separation is happening inside real estate. Some agents are adjusting their businesses with intention — while others are hoping the market goes back to what it was. In this episode, we break down 11 specific behaviors the agents pulling ahead are implementing right now, including: • Focusing on controllable activities • Doubling down on listings • Simplifying lead generation • Strengthening follow-up systems • Tracking pipelines with precision • Designing businesses for predictable income Markets reward preparation, not panic. Agents who move early gain clarity, momentum, and market share — while others fall behind quietly. If you want to understand what the most productive agents are doing differently right now, this episode will give you the blueprint.

Understanding the deep human-animal bond is no longer just beneficial—it is essential to modern veterinary practice. This joint VetFolio Voice podcast discussion with Chewy Health and HABRI explores new research on the evolving human-animal bond and what it means for today's veterinary teams. Drawing from insights gathered from more than 2,000 U.S. pet owners, the conversation highlights how communication, trust, and technology can strengthen the veterinary-client relationship, improve satisfaction, and better support modern pet owners—especially younger generations—throughout the pet health journey.

A common frustration for many people suffering from lower back pain or a herniated disc is the belief that because they lead an "active" lifestyle, their back should be strong. In this session, we break down the critical difference between tiring physical activity—like DIY projects, manual labour, or being on your feet all day—and effective, structured strength training. True strengthening requires three specific elements: a targeted stimulus close to your limit, adequate recovery, and rigorous consistency. General daily activity simply exhausts you without providing the progressive load necessary to rebuild the resilience of your spine and surrounding tissues.We also tackle the common, yet misguided, advice to use walking or swimming to "strengthen" your back. While walking is excellent for relieving morning congestion in the lumbar spine and keeping you moving, it does not provide the load-bearing stimulus required to heal and fortify the discs. To truly overcome sciatica and lower back injuries, you must focus on spine-stabilising movements, such as the squat and hip hinge, maintaining a neutral spine, and ensuring all movements are aggravation-free reps. We cover how to phase these movements in, why pelvic tucks are detrimental to your progress, and how to safely navigate your rehabilitation programme.Key Topics Covered

Josh Howell, Healthcare CTO at Rubrik, spoke with Moshe Beauford of Technology Reseller News at the HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition about the growing importance of cyber resilience in healthcare and Rubrik's collaboration with the American Hospital Association (AHA) to strengthen security across the sector. Howell explained that healthcare organizations remain among the most targeted industries for cyberattacks, making resilience and recovery capabilities essential. Rubrik has been working closely with the AHA's cybersecurity initiative, which is led by veteran security experts focused on helping hospitals and health systems better prepare for ransomware and other threats. The partnership highlights how public and private sector collaboration can improve readiness across healthcare infrastructure. A key theme of the discussion was the need to move beyond traditional backup strategies toward a broader cyber resilience framework. Rubrik's platform focuses on protecting critical healthcare data, ensuring that hospitals can recover quickly and safely if systems are compromised. In an industry where downtime can directly affect patient care, rapid and reliable recovery capabilities are critical. Howell emphasized that cybersecurity in healthcare is no longer just an IT concern—it is a patient safety issue. “Healthcare organizations must be able to protect their data and ensure that critical systems can recover quickly when incidents occur,” he said. This perspective is driving new investments in data protection, ransomware recovery, and operational resilience across healthcare systems. As healthcare leaders gathered at HIMSS to discuss the future of digital health, the conversation underscored the growing recognition that cybersecurity and resilience must be foundational elements of modern healthcare infrastructure.

The Rebbe encourages an outreach group to strengthen both yeshivah-trained youth and those with no background, explaining that influencing others strengthens oneself (“tofe'ach al menas lehatfiach”). He urges expanding activities despite financial limits, promotes sheitel hair covering, and blesses the writer's wife with an easy birth. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/006/6105

The Rebbe advises a yeshivah student seeking blessing and help with forgetfulness to increase Torah study, pray from a siddur, immerse in a mikvah (Tevilas Ezra), memorize Mishnayos and Tanya, and give daily tzedakah. Spiritual growth draws down blessing and strengthens memory. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/006/6109

Travel is often framed as a luxury or a break from real life, but in this conversation we explore how it can be a powerful developmental tool for kids. Beyond sightseeing, travel becomes a classroom for empathy, adaptability, and connection. We talk about how exposure to new cultures, languages, and environments helps children grow socially and emotionally, even when trips don't go as planned. The goal is not perfect itineraries, but meaningful experiences that stretch comfort zones and strengthen family bonds. We also highlight how many of these lessons can happen with or without international travel. Curiosity about the world, honoring others' needs, and learning to navigate discomfort are skills families can practice anywhere. Travel simply magnifies those opportunities, giving kids real-time chances to build resilience, perspective, and compassion. What we discussed: Using travel as an opportunity for education and growth Building curiosity about other cultures and people Exposure to diversity through real-life experiences Learning empathy through cultural connection Creating global awareness even from home Turning curiosity into advocacy and compassion Practicing flexibility when plans fall apart Modeling calm problem-solving during stress Kids learning adaptability from unexpected setbacks Honoring individual needs within a group Taking turns and negotiating shared experiences Respecting parents' and siblings' preferences Practicing patience and compromise Learning to feel comfortable being different Building empathy for newcomers and outsiders Growing confidence in unfamiliar environments Prioritizing family connection over perfection Choosing time together as a core value Managing resources like time and energy intentionally Strengthening family identity through shared experiences Want more?

Wake up! In this message, Lead Pastor Jamie Nunnally shares Jesus's message to the church of Sardis.  Sardis had once been one of the most powerful cities in the world. Unlike the other 7 churches in Revelation, there's no mention of persecution, idolatry, or false teaching, by Jesus but they had gotten complacent. Revelation 3:1 The seven stars are symbolic of the seven angels or messengers which refers to the pastor or leader of each church.  Revelation 3:1-2 You can fool the crowd, but you can't fool Christ.They're asleep, so their movement is just sleepwalking. Church activity is not church vitality. Revelation 3:2-3 Repentance is a mind change that results in a behavior change. It's turning toward a new direction. It's not just feeling bad, it's doing good. Repentance happens when heart transformation leads to behavior modification. Revelation 3:4 God doesn't just examine our actions, He examines our intentions.  Revelation 3:5-6Hearing from Jesus always requires a response. And that's the letter to the church of Sardis and what it meant to them. So, what are the timeless truths for us in this letter, and how can we respond to what Jesus has revealed? 1. Your reputation is not as important as your righteousness.Matthew 23:27Yesterday's victories can become today's excuses. We'll be tempted to embrace programs over presence, structure over Spirit, and appearance over anointing. There are seasons of rest in the life of a Christian, but there are never seasons of complacency. Yesterday's obedience does not cover today's calling. God isn't impressed by your highlight reel; He is looking for present obedience. 2. Wake up before spiritual drift becomes spiritual death.Spiritual sleep happens one ignored conviction at a time.Romans 13:11Jesus doesn't want to write us off, He wants to wake us up.  3. Strengthen what remains.God can do a lot with a spark, but you have to stop pouring water on it and start fanning it into a flame.Strengthening what remains means you stop coasting and start pursuing God again.Spiritual renewal does not come from willpower; It comes from the power of the Holy Spirit.Isaiah 11:2Romans 8:11Revival rarely begins with something spectacular. It usually begins with someone returning to the basics.  Some of the stars we see shining above us are actually already dead. Because many of them are light-years away, the light they produced years ago is still traveling through space. In other words, we may be seeing the glow of something that no longer exists and died years ago.And that's exactly what Jesus says was happening in Sardis.  It's the same for us. Church, there are too many "bored-again" Christians who are trapped in the rut of religion, regurgitating Christianese phrases, and mindlessly attending, but not engaging.Wake up! Strengthen what remains. Repent, and return to the Lord. Are you spiritually alive, or just known for being spiritually alive?

Let's talk about Europe strengthening while the US weakens under Trump and French nukes....

"Art—alongside diet, sleep, exercise, and nature, is the forgotten fifth pillar of health." —Daisy Fancourt, author Art Cure: How the Arts Save Lives Pleasure reading – mandatory. Listening to your favorite music – a have-to, not a want. Dancing – required participation. Viewing something of beauty – a daily must-stop and do. Each of these and so many more examples of the various forms of art that we may enjoy, often are presented as discretionary, or if we have time, or if we have money. But the truth is, just as professor of psychobiology and epidemiology at University College London Daisy Fancourt writes, we would be best advised to view them as necessities for living well.  In Art Cure, Fancourt writes to underscore how important the arts are, and reveals how varied and different forms of art can be. We're talking about how they improve our health, something we seem to be obsessed with as a culture, but as a culture often overlook the most enjoyable forms of becoming and maintaining good health. In today's episode, we'll explore what the arts consist of so you can find your choice of art, the many health and life benefits, and explore in detail how you can incorporate art daily into your life.  Let's get started.    Find the Show Notes for today's episode on The Simply Luxurious Life blog - https://thesimplyluxuriouslife.com/podcast421 

Some of the most effective solutions for improving birth outcomes worldwide are rooted in relationships, not technology. In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker speaks with midwife Stephanie Marriott of the International Confederation of Midwives about the global impact of midwifery care. She outlines what defines a midwifery model of care, why continuity of midwife-led care matters for both outcomes and experiences, and how trust and relationship-based care can influence Cesarean rates, trauma-informed care, and access to services. Stephanie draws on her work across the U.K., Asia, and Africa to share how countries such as Indonesia and Bangladesh are strengthening midwifery education, regulation, and deployment, and what that means for maternal and newborn health.

"I believe that education is all about being excited about something. Seeing passion and enthusiasm helps push an educational message. "In 2026, many parents, teachers and coaches are asking the same question. What is happening to our children?Across schools and communities, we are seeing more aggression, faster escalation of conflict, online humiliation spilling into classrooms, and young people struggling to regulate strong emotions. At the same time, childhood is now lived through screens in fast, stimulating, comparison-driven digital environments that developing brains were never designed for.In this episode, I sit down with Bryan, Head of Student Engagement, football coach, father and husband, who works with young people every day. We talk honestly about what he is seeing on the ground. Rising reactivity. Exposure to gambling culture through sport. Earlier access to drugs and alcohol. The growing pressure that boys and girls are facing in 2026. This is not a blame conversation. What does constant stimulation do to a developing brain?  How does sleep loss affect impulse control? Why are some conflicts escalating so quickly? And what can parents, schools and communities actually do to help?We explore the neuroscience of regulation, the difference between character and capacity, and why connection must come before correction. Most importantly, we focus on practical steps. Strengthening sleep, protecting childhood from screens, rebuilding community boundaries, and restoring the conditions that help children thrive.Screens are not the only factor. But unregulated exposure in developing brains is not neutral. If we want safer communities, we must build stronger nervous systems. If we want resilient adults, we must protect childhood.Based on the sources, physical activity is not viewed as a reward but as essential biology that supports the nervous system and builds the capacity for frustration tolerance. The following activities and approaches are highlighted as beneficial:• Team-Based Sports with "Flow": Engaging in sports that emphasise team dynamics—like the New Zealand All Blacks' "caterpillar" model—helps students move away from individual frustration and social comparison. When a team "flows" together, they learn to communicate and work together to "fix links" when someone fails, rather than a student feeling like a "loser" when they don't personally score.• Outdoor Time: Restoring outdoor time is considered a high-leverage intervention to help regulate the nervous system. This provides a necessary break from the chronic load of digital stimulation and screens, which often depletes a student's ability to handle setbacks.• Mindful Movement and Stretching: Incorporating daily stretching can help transition the brain from a reactive state to a centred one. These "tiny habits," when done consistently, help rewire the brain for better emotional control and less reactionary behaviour.• Walking and Connection: Physical activities that facilitate conversation, such as group walks, can help students and adults alike "unpack" their day and process frustrations through connection rather than isolation.• Competitive Play with Resilience Modelling: While competitive sports like football or rugby league can be sources of frustration, they serve as a training ground for resilience if adults model how to "bounce back" after a loss rather than blaming others.Ultimately, these activities support frustration tolerance by strengthening human capacity—including social intelligence and emotional regulation and to keepSupport the showSubscribe and support the podcast at https://www.buzzsprout.com/367319/supporters/newLearn more at www.profselenabartlett.com

Public health is everywhere, but too often, people don't see it. In this episode, we explore how the field can build a stronger future by investing in the next generation of professionals and improving how it communicates its value to the public. Dr. Kimberly Wyche Etheridge, Senior Vice President of Health Initiatives at ASTHO discusses why workforce pathway programs, mentorship, and hands-on partnerships between universities and health departments are critical as experienced leaders retire and workforce gaps grow. She shares why more students are choosing public health, how practical experience helps bridge the gap between theory and real-world practice, and why retaining early-career professionals requires rethinking workplace culture. From creative funding strategies to proactive pipeline development, she makes the case that investing in people today is essential for protecting community health tomorrow. Then, Brian Castrucci, President and CEO of the  de Beaumont Foundation explains why, in a recent article, he argued public health must do a better job communicating its impact. He explores how partnerships across sectors, from business and education to faith communities, can strengthen support, and why consistency, speed, and alignment in messaging are more important than ever. We also discuss how digital creators and influencers are reshaping trust, why public health should meet audiences where they already are, and what it will take to build a clear, unified value proposition for the field.Journal of Public Health Management and PracticeSubscribe | ASTHO

Feeding choices carry an enormous emotional weight for new parents, often shaped more by online narratives and cultural pressure than by balanced evidence. In this conversation, we unpack formula guilt, breastfeeding myths, and how distorted risk messaging fuels shame. We talk about how understanding research in context can help parents move away from fear-based thinking and toward informed, values-based decisions that support both parent and baby. The episode also explores the long-term impact of early feeding shame on maternal confidence. Feeding is often the first major parenting decision, and how a parent navigates it sets the tone for future choices. We focus on strengthening self-trust, rejecting stigma, and recognizing that child outcomes are driven by complex environmental and social factors, not a single feeding method. What we discussed: Why parents feel guilt around formula feeding How online activism shapes feeding narratives Evaluating whether sources of information are trustworthy Misleading statistics and risk exaggeration Relative risk vs absolute risk in infant illness The psychological harm of formula shaming Why stress can worsen milk supply struggles Breastfeeding benefits in realistic context Why breastfed babies still get sick The role of environment and exposure to germs Myths about allergies, IQ, and milestone differences How child development is multifactorial Socioeconomic factors in feeding research Sibling comparison studies and feeding outcomes Why shame damages maternal bonding Strengthening decision confidence early in parenting Owning feeding choices without apology How openness reduces stigma for other parents Modeling self-trust for the parenting journey Letting go of guilt about long-term outcomes Want more?
