The salient point of today's discourse revolves around the intricate interplay between current economic indicators and consumer behavior within the furniture industry. We commence our examination with the alarming decline in the University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment Survey, which has plummeted to 50.3, a figure that induces considerable apprehension amidst the ongoing federal government shutdown. Despite these disconcerting signals, we are privileged to gain insights from Todd Wanick, the CEO of Ashley Furniture, who articulates a cautiously optimistic outlook, emphasizing strategic adaptations in response to economic pressures. His assertion that the industry could experience a remarkable 30% growth in 2026 is underpinned by Ashley's innovative merchandising and increased reliance on domestic production. Furthermore, we delve into the evolving preferences of consumers, as evidenced by a survey revealing their profound attachment to specific spaces within their homes, thereby underscoring the significance of comfort and personal sanctuary in contemporary living arrangements.The discourse initiates with a thorough examination of the prevailing economic indicators that significantly influence consumer behavior within the furniture industry. As we delve into the latest findings from the University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment Survey, we observe a distressing decline in the sentiment index, which has plummeted to a precarious 50.3 in November, nearing a historical low. This downturn is primarily attributed to the persistent uncertainties surrounding the federal government shutdown, which has engendered widespread apprehension across various demographic sectors. Furthermore, the slight uptick in inflation expectations, now hovering at 4.7%, compounds the prevailing sense of unease. However, amidst this economic turbulence, there exists a glimmer of optimism: the Mortgage Bankers Association reports an improvement in home affordability for the fourth consecutive month, with the national median mortgage payment experiencing a modest decrease. This development is poised to potentially liberate discretionary spending for home goods, thereby providing a counterbalance to the declining consumer sentiment.Transitioning from macroeconomic indicators to insights garnered from industry leadership, we engage with Todd Wanick, the esteemed CEO of Ashley Furniture, who provides a nuanced perspective on the current landscape. Despite the mixed economic signals, Wanick expresses an optimistic outlook, particularly noting the robust market attendance witnessed during recent tariff discussions at the High Point Market. His strategy reflects an adaptive response to the challenges posed by tariff rates, emphasizing a focus on re-merchandising to sustain critical price points. A pivotal aspect of Ashley's approach has involved a strategic pivot towards domestic production, facilitating the manufacturing of case goods and upholstery within the United States, which has proven successful. Wanick's bullish forecast for the industry, predicting a remarkable 30% growth in 2026, is reinforced by the strong performance indicators emerging from the third quarter earnings reports of several key players in the market.Concluding our exploration, we turn our attention to the evolving habits of consumers in their domestic environments, illuminated by a recent survey conducted by Stressless. This investigation reveals peculiarities in home usage, highlighting that a significant proportion of individuals have established 'claimed' spots within their residences, such as favorite chairs or designated sides of the sofa, with a striking 41% favoring recliners for their comfort. The survey further identifies the bedroom as the preeminent sanctuary for peace and quiet, underscoring its critical role as a personal retreat. Retailers are responding proactively to these insights, with Schewells Home deepening its market presence

Dear Baby Brooks, As you will come to know, you and your parents love to be outside. Although you live in the big city of London, you have beautiful life spent outside. I am your Nana and I came to spend over a month in your house when you were just 2, and then 3 months old. If You Could See What I See I see you outside in your back yard or in a nearby park at least 5 times a day. I see how you are spending your time falling in love with the people and your world around you. Brooks, with a name of tree and water spirits, you are safe in a world of love. Your mom and dad share you easily with family and close friends. They seem to know that the more love we give to you, the more love there is to go around. And I am beginning to realize that being brave might be the same with them too. You are a Dream SleeperYou are a dream sleeper. If you could see how this saves us and restores us every night. Although you are just 3 months old you have slept all through the night in your own room. Your mom (my lovely daughter in law) sleeps since she gave you your “dream feed” at 11 pm to help you to sleep through the night. Your dad (my son) comes into your bedroom at 0700 am. You greet him with smiles that create rapture while you move your legs and arms with the excitement of new daylight, love, and attention. As soon as you get on to the diaper change table – which we now call your massage table – you smile as he tells you how beautiful and amazing you are. He massages your arms, feet, legs, shoulders, and tells you how lucky we are to have you in our lives. You smile, look into his eyes and coo something gentle that feels and sounds like you feel the same way too. Your Mornings Outside It is late August 2025 and your dad gives you your bottle after he wraps you in a warm blanket, takes you in his arms to the outdoor couch in your soft green backyard. On either side white jasmine flowers bloom and give off a heavy sweet scent of summer. The front facing wall is lush green bamboo.The evening before, your mom pumps breast milk so that your dad can give this to you in your bottle in the morning. This is her way of giving your dad the great gift of you fixing your eyes on your dad's eyes as you hum pure sounds of mmmmm with each draw of that magic breast milk. You snuggle deep into your dad's arms. He is in heaven and you are too. Your dad wakes up before you do, getting ready for work so that he can spend every minute he can with you before he leaves for work. Once when I thought it was time for him to go to work he said “I get to have 5 more minutes with him Mom” with a smile as he moved around the backyard with you in his arms. see full transcript on Verla Fortier's substack For peer reviewed research on how your time spent in green space can change your mindset, balance your nervous system and your heart rate please go to verlafortier.substack.com and check out my books Take Back Your Outside Mindset: Live Longer, Stress Less, and Control Your Chronic Illness and Optimize Your Heart Rate: Balance Your Mind and Body With Green Space

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____Burnout was Skye Waterson's PhD companion. She'd switch majors—psychology to law to sociology—convinced each time that she just hadn't found her passion yet. The truth was simpler and more complex: she was trying to outwork her undiagnosed ADHD, and no amount of grinding harder was going to fix a brain that needed different systems entirely. By the time she finished her master's thesis, she was so burned out she couldn't even process being offered a guaranteed PhD scholarship. Instead, she worked at a bakery and took art classes until her now-husband asked the obvious question: "Wait, you did a master's? You have a scholarship? What's going on?"The ADHD diagnosis came at the perfect time—right as she was starting her PhD. Instead of seeing it as a limitation, Skye turned her academic brain toward understanding how her mind actually worked. She started researching, writing articles, and building the productivity systems that traditional advice couldn't provide. What began as survival became her calling, and eventually, her business grew so successful that her supervisors encouraged her to leave academia entirely.Now, as founder of Unconventional Organisation, Skye helps entrepreneurs, founders, and executives scale their businesses without scaling their stress. In this conversation, she and Tracy dive into why neurotypical productivity advice fails ADHD brains, how to prioritize when everything feels urgent, and Skye's game-changing approach to delegation using AI. They explore her "recipe" method for breaking down tasks, why the Pomodoro technique wasn't designed for us, and how understanding dopamine timing can revolutionize your work flow.Resources:Website: https://www.unconventionalorganisation.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unconventionalorganisation LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/skye-waterson-026286204 Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message Instead of Struggling to figure out what to do next? ADHD isn't a productivity problem. It's an identity problem. That's why most strategies don't stick—they weren't designed for how your brain actually works. Your ADHD Brain is A-OK Academy is different. It's a patented, science-backed coaching program that helps you stop fighting your brain and start building a life that fits.

In this episode, we continue our exploration of stress and its impact on the body, diving into the science of the relaxation response, a built-in healing mechanism discovered by Dr. Herbert Benson.

We'll explore how chronic stress affects immunity, cancer risk, and overall health, and share the inspiring story of Shin Terayama, who used these principles to reclaim his life from terminal illness. Plus, we'll provide three practical steps you can implement today to activate your own relaxation response, support cellular healing, and protect your immune system.This podcast is for educational purposes only and does not offer medical advice.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of “Overcoming” with a discussion about overcoming anxiety, stress, and worry. We turned to Philippians 4:6, where it says not to be anxious about anything but to pray and petition with thanksgiving, our request to God. We then had Anne Graham Lotz join us to talk about trusting in the unshakeable God and not worrying, amidst the chaotic world. Anne is known for her profound biblical wisdom, speaks globally, and was called “the best preacher in the family” by her late father, Billy Graham. She was also named one of the five most influential evangelists of her generation by the New York Times. We then had Dr. Winfred Neely join us to talk about shifting anxious thoughts to godly thoughts. Dr. Neely is the newly retired Vice President and Academic Dean of Moody Theological Seminary. He will stay on as Adjunct Professor of Biblical Interpretation, Old Testament, and Biblical Preaching. He has also written several books, including “How to Overcome Worry-Experiencing the Peace of God in Every Situation.” We also had Dr. Charles Stone join us to break down the causes of stress and discuss how to deal with it. Dr. Stone has served in vocational ministry for 43 years, 30 years as a Senior Pastor. He now serves as a coach consultant to pastors and leaders. He has also authored numerous books, including “Stress Less: 9 Habits from the Bible and Brain Science to Build Resilience and Reduce Anxiety.” If you're looking to hear a particular segment from the show, look at the following time stamps: Dr. Winfred Neely Interview (Worry ) [18:38] Dr. Charles Stone Interview (Stress) [30:54 ] Anne Graham Lots Interview (Worry and Anxiety) [39:33 ] Ally Thinks It's Funny [51:20] Karl and Crew airs live weekday mornings from 5-9 a.m. Central Time.
