The war on the Eastern Front was fought on a scale unlike anything the world had ever seen. Stretching from the Baltic to the Black Sea, it consumed millions of soldiers, saw entire armies destroyed, and ultimately decided the fate of Nazi Germany. When we tell the story of this campaign, we often focus on a handful of famous names: Zhukov, Manstein, Guderian, Model. But were they really the men directing the war throughout its four brutal years? Behind these household names stood dozens of army and army group commanders whose decisions shaped the course of the fighting, yet whose contributions have largely been overlooked. In this episode, I'm joined by Robert Forczyk, author of Generalship on the Eastern Front, 1941–45: A Study in Command. Together we'll explore what made an effective commander on the Eastern Front, compare the German and Soviet approaches to leadership, and shine a light on some of the remarkable generals who have slipped from popular history. Generalship on the Eastern Front is also available on Audible and Spotify. patreon.com/ww2podcast
Hybrid warfare Is a can of worms, a fascinating conjoining of kinetic and non-kinetic means of achieving victory or stale between warring nations. This first episode tries to lay the ground work of what it is and in the next two episodes we will examine an historical and a contemporary example of hybrid warfare in meat-space.

The Himalayas are one of the world's greatest biodiversity treasures, yet they are also among the most vulnerable mountain systems on Earth. Stretching across multiple countries and supporting millions of people, this extraordinary landscape is home to remarkable wildlife, diverse ecosystems, unique cultures, and some of Asia's most important freshwater sources. But rapid climate change, ecosystem degradation, habitat fragmentation, unsustainable development, and increasing human pressures are transforming the region at an unprecedented pace.In this episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast, we are joined by Dr. Nakul Chettri, Senior Fellow and Associate Director of ATREE's Himalayan Initiative, to explore the future of Himalayan biodiversity conservation and why protecting these mountains is essential not only for wildlife, but also for people across South Asia.Growing up in the shadow of Kanchenjunga, Dr. Chettri shares how his childhood experiences inspired a lifelong journey into conservation science. He explains why the Eastern Himalayas are globally recognised as a biodiversity hotspot, where steep elevation gradients, tropical forests, alpine meadows, glaciers, and unique microclimates create exceptional levels of biodiversity and endemism. Alongside this ecological richness lies an equally remarkable cultural landscape shaped by indigenous communities whose knowledge and stewardship have protected these ecosystems for generations.The conversation explores how ATREE's Himalayan Initiative works at the intersection of science, policy, and local communities to address the complex relationship between conservation and sustainable development. Dr. Chettri highlights why community-based conservation remains one of the most effective approaches for protecting biodiversity while supporting livelihoods, and why indigenous knowledge is essential for long-term resilience.Climate change is one of the central themes of this discussion. Often called The Third Pole, the Himalayas contain the largest concentration of ice outside the Arctic and Antarctic. As glaciers retreat, rainfall patterns shift, and extreme weather events become more frequent, the consequences extend far beyond mountain communities, affecting water security, agriculture, biodiversity, and disaster risk throughout Asia. Dr. Chettri discusses these emerging challenges and explains why climate adaptation and ecosystem restoration must become central priorities for governments and conservation organisations alike.We also explore the importance of agroforestry, sustainable agriculture, and restoring degraded ecosystems to strengthen biodiversity while improving rural livelihoods. Dr. Chettri explains why restoring forests alone is not enough and how integrated landscape approaches can simultaneously support food security, climate resilience, and wildlife conservation.Another fascinating part of the discussion focuses on the overlooked importance of rangelands and pastoral communities. These high-altitude ecosystems support unique wildlife, store significant amounts of carbon, and provide livelihoods for indigenous pastoralists, yet they remain poorly understood and increasingly threatened by changing land use and climate pressures.Human-wildlife conflict is another growing concern throughout the Eastern Himalayas. Dr. Chettri discusses practical approaches to reducing conflicts between people and wildlife—including elephants—and explains why coexistence requires both scientific solutions and meaningful community participation.Since wildlife and ecosystems do not recognise political boundaries, we also examine why transboundary conservation is essential across the Himalayan region. Countries must work together to conserve shared landscapes, protect ecological connectivity, and build resilience against climate change. Dr. Chettri also reflects on his contributions to the IPBES Global Assessment, sharing insights into how global biodiversity science can influence national conservation policy and international decision-making.Whether you're interested in wildlife, ecology, climate science, conservation policy, ecosystem restoration, or sustainable development, this conversation offers a comprehensive look at one of Earth's most important mountain ecosystems and the people working to protect it.If you enjoyed this episode, please like, subscribe, and share to support independent conservation conversations.

Target Market Insights: Multifamily Real Estate Marketing Tips
Jacob Kosior has over ten years of experience in the multifamily housing industry, spanning operations, marketing, and centralization efforts across conventional, student housing, affordable housing, and build-to-rent communities. He previously served as Vice President of Centralized Services at Cardinal Group Management and has held leadership positions with BH Management, The Dinerstein Companies, and CA Ventures. In 2022, while founding a centralized services team at Cardinal Group, Jacob began testing AI tools across the housing space and co-developed a delinquency AI product for rent collection with the EliseAI team. Today he is at EliseAI, where he works with operators of all sizes to implement AI tools, manage the change required for the technology to stick, and rethink how work gets structured across a portfolio. In this episode, Jacob Kosior breaks down how multifamily operators are actually deploying AI, where to start, and what agentic AI changes about the way workflows get built. Drawing on a decade in operations before moving to the technology side, Jacob explains why leasing is the natural entry point, why speed is becoming the metric that matters more than conversion rate alone, and why owners who call their own properties tend to misjudge voice AI. He and John also work through the harder question operators face once automation is in place: what the human team should be doing instead. Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Start with leasing, where the tasks are repetitive and already documented Build AI workflows on the same follow-up cadence you train your onsite teams on Track speed alongside conversion rates, because faster cycles compound Decide where human touchpoints serve the customer, not just the org chart Redeploy the hours AI frees up into experience or revenue generating work Ask questions early, since lacking internal AI talent is the most common barrier Topics From Operations to the Technology Side Jacob spent over a decade in multifamily operations before moving into AI Founding a centralized services team at Cardinal Group in 2022 pushed him to demo every tool available He co-developed a delinquency AI tool and a centralized call center product with EliseAI before joining the company What Agentic AI Actually Changes Generative AI answers prompts; agentic AI follows a workflow toward a defined goal Goals map to work teams already do: book the tour, collect the rent, sign the renewal Operators now control the steps the AI follows, mirroring how they train staff onsite Why Leasing Is the Place to Start Leasing represents the repetitive, high-volume work teams handle every day The old five point follow-up has become 8 to 9 touches per prospect to convert AI works the weekend leads so agents start Monday on tours instead of backlog Who EliseAI Serves The platform crossed 6 million units earlier this year, roughly 1 in 6 US apartments Clients range from top 50 operators to regional operators with a few hundred units Over a billion AI conversations give the platform context on industry edge cases Speed as the Metric Owners Miss The industry tracks conversion rates closely and speed almost not at all A 20% lead-to-tour rate achieved in two hours beats the same rate in two days An assistant manager calls one delinquent resident at a time; AI calls the building Faster cycles give owners earlier visibility into collections, renewals, and leasing velocity Rethinking the ROI Question Operators who never calculated the ROI of a leasing agent struggle to value the AI doing that work The 2025 conversation was about ROI; the 2026 conversation is about creating value Freed capacity opens the door to restructuring teams, not just cutting tasks Deciding Where Humans Step In Human Touch Automations let operators choose where staff enter the customer journey One example is a personal call two hours before a scheduled tour The test is whether the customer wants that touchpoint, not whether the team is used to it Automating administrative work finally gives teams room to deliver the service they advertise The Voice AI Misconception Owners calling their own properties judge voice AI against old press-one phone trees Consumers using AI daily are increasingly comfortable talking to it on the phone Voice AI routes callers to the right person instead of forcing them through a menu Regional dialects lifted both engagement and tour bookings in beta testing What Voice AI Replaces After-hours answering services and overflow call centers become optional Call scoring rates every leasing agent call against a rubric, replacing quarterly mystery shops Self-learning feeds those conversations back into the AI to improve automation rates

Stretching across the Peruvian desert are thousands of enormous lines, geometric shapes, and animal figures so vast they can only truly be appreciated from the sky. For decades, they inspired theories about ancient astronauts, lost civilizations, and mysterious messages to the stars. But the truth is even more extraordinary. Tonight, we uncover the real story of the Nazca Lines—a civilization that turned one of the driest places on Earth into a permanent canvas, creating giant rituals, hidden maps to underground water, and messages that have survived for nearly two thousand years.

It's unclear who the saying "it can always be worse", is meant for. A girl named Liv is suspicious that her boyfriend of 8 months is cheating on her. But it can always be worse, right? But what if it's as bad as it can get? What if there is no worse… this is the bottom? Then what? Liv reaches over while Mason sleeps. There is only one way to find out if he's cheating on her, go through his phone. Within the hour, she's packing her things and making a run for it. What she found wasn't another woman. It was Mason negotiating prices with strangers on Telegram: $20 for videos, $30 for megalinks, $80 for all of the above. And links to what she later described to police as little girls between the ages of 6 and 7 years old, some as young as 3. This is the case of Mason Hullo, a TikTok looksmaxxer exposed by his ex for purchasing CSAM, and his bizarre excuse behind why.

Everything You've Been Told About Fascia Is Wrong? | Dr. Jason Amstutz Explains the ScienceIs fascia really the missing link to chronic pain, poor mobility, and athletic performance—or has social media turned it into the most misunderstood tissue in the human body?Every day, millions of people spend money on foam rollers, massage guns, stretching routines, scraping tools, and "fascia release" techniques. But what does the science actually say? Are these recovery tools helping your body...or are they simply treating symptoms while missing the bigger picture?In this eye-opening episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, internationally recognized sports chiropractor, educator, and fascia expert Dr. Jason Amstutz challenges many of the beliefs surrounding fascia, movement, pain, recovery, and human performance.You'll discover why the body may function more as a fluid communication system than a collection of isolated muscles and joints, why so many people continue to feel "tight" despite stretching every day, and how understanding fascia may completely change the way you think about injury prevention, rehabilitation, and movement.In this episode:✔ Why fascia is one of the most misunderstood tissues in medicine ✔ The biggest myths about fascia circulating on social media ✔ Do foam rollers, massage guns, scraping, and stretching actually work? ✔ Why your body feels tight—and what's really happening beneath the surface ✔ The relationship between fascia, fluid dynamics, and human movement ✔ Why pain doesn't always originate where you feel it ✔ Recovery strategies that actually deserve your time and money ✔ How elite athletes and healthcare professionals are rethinking movement and rehabilitationWhether you're an athlete, physical therapist, chiropractor, massage therapist, personal trainer, physician, or someone simply looking for lasting answers to chronic pain, stiffness, mobility, and performance, this conversation will challenge your assumptions and give you a completely new perspective on how the human body works.Learn More About Dr. Jason Amstutz
Have you ever felt anxious before your workday even begins?Maybe your heart starts racing before you log in. Maybe your stomach tightens during your commute. Or perhaps you end every shift emotionally exhausted, wondering why work seems to drain so much more than your energy.If any of that sounds familiar, you're not alone.Workplace anxiety affects millions of people, yet many of us dismiss it as “just part of being an adult.” We tell ourselves to push through, work harder, and be grateful to have a job. But chronic workplace stress doesn't just disappear—it often follows us home, disrupts our sleep, impacts our relationships, and slowly chips away at our mental and emotional well-being.In this episode of The Grounded Bag Podcast, we're unpacking the hidden causes of workplace anxiety, exploring why work can feel emotionally overwhelming, and sharing practical tools you can use to protect your peace without sacrificing your career.What Is Workplace Anxiety?Workplace anxiety isn't simply having a stressful day.It's the ongoing emotional, physical, and psychological distress connected to your work environment or job responsibilities. It can show up as:* Racing thoughts before work* Difficulty concentrating* Trouble sleeping the night before a shift* Feeling emotionally numb or constantly overwhelmed* Muscle tension or headaches* Irritability and emotional exhaustion* Fear of making mistakes* Feeling like you're never doing enoughSometimes the anxiety comes from the job itself. Other times, it's the environment surrounding the work.Why Does Work Make Us So Anxious?There isn't one universal cause. Workplace anxiety is often the result of multiple stressors building over time.Toxic Workplace CulturesConstant criticism, gossip, favoritism, micromanagement, poor leadership, or lack of psychological safety can leave employees feeling emotionally guarded every day.When survival becomes the goal instead of growth, anxiety naturally follows.Unrealistic ExpectationsMany workplaces expect employees to produce more with fewer resources while remaining constantly available.The pressure to always perform can create chronic stress that eventually leads to burnout.PerfectionismSometimes the workplace isn't the only source of anxiety.Many of us carry internal beliefs that tell us we must never make mistakes, disappoint others, or ask for help.Perfectionism often disguises itself as ambition—but beneath it is frequently fear.BurnoutBurnout doesn't happen overnight.It develops when stress becomes chronic and recovery never happens.You may begin feeling emotionally detached, physically exhausted, cynical about work, or disconnected from the purpose that once motivated you.Unresolved Stress and TraumaPast experiences—whether from previous jobs, personal relationships, childhood environments, or discrimination—can influence how we respond to workplace challenges today.Sometimes work activates wounds that were never fully healed.Practical Coping Tools for Workplace AnxietyWhile we can't always change our work environment immediately, we can develop healthier ways to care for ourselves while planning our next steps.Create BoundariesBoundaries protect your mental health.That might mean:* Logging off on time* Taking your lunch break* Avoiding checking emails after work* Saying no when your workload becomes unrealisticBoundaries aren't selfish—they're sustainable.Notice Your Physical Stress SignalsPay attention to your body.Do your shoulders tense up during meetings?Does your breathing become shallow?Does your stomach tighten before speaking with certain coworkers?Awareness is often the first step toward healing.Practice Grounding TechniquesSimple grounding exercises can help regulate your nervous system during stressful moments.Try:* Box breathing* A five-minute walk* Stretching between meetings* Naming five things you can see, hear, or feel* Progressive muscle relaxationSmall moments of regulation throughout the day can have a significant impact.Challenge Anxious ThoughtsAsk yourself:* Is this thought based on facts or fear?* What evidence supports this belief?* Am I assuming the worst-case scenario?* What would I tell a friend experiencing this?Learning to question anxious thinking helps reduce its power.Seek SupportYou don't have to navigate workplace anxiety alone.Whether it's therapy, support groups, trusted mentors, or loved ones, talking through your experiences can reduce isolation and help you develop healthier coping strategies.Seeking help is a sign of strength—not weakness.Grounded Reflection QuestionsTake a few moments to reflect honestly.* What specific parts of work trigger my anxiety?* Do I feel pressure to hide my stress?* What would a psychologically safe workplace feel like?* Am I holding tension I haven't processed?* What helps me feel grounded during the workday?Healing often begins with awareness.Free Mental Health ResourcesIf workplace anxiety has become overwhelming, these organizations offer education, support, and helpful resources:* Anxiety & Depression Association of America (ADAA): https://adaa.org* National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI): https://www.nami.org* HeyPeers: https://heypeers.comJoin the ConversationWhat has helped you manage workplace anxiety?Share your experiences, coping strategies, or lessons you've learned. Your story may encourage someone else who needs the reminder that they are not alone.Continue Growing With MeIf this conversation resonated with you, I'd love for you to join our growing community.
Millions of people suffer with foot trouble. Some have heel pain when they first get out of bed. Others complain of flat feet or bunions. Athlete's foot is very common, though it doesn't always respond as expected to antifungal medications. Speaking of fungus, toenail fungus can be extremely stubborn. What are your feet trying to tell you about what they need? How can you keep them healthy, especially in the summertime? At The People's Pharmacy, we strive to bring you up to date, rigorously researched insights and conversations about health, medicine, wellness and health policies and health systems.

What Are Your Feet Trying to Tell You? Most everyone looks forward to summer vacation, but that special time away from the usual routine may pose challenges for your feet. Whether you are hiking in the mountains or running on the beach, you may need to pay attention to your tootsies. Time at the Beach Beach time can inspire long walks on the sand, but soft sand could really put a strain on foot muscles that aren't accustomed to it. Our expert guest, podiatrist Jane Andersen DPM, recommends wearing good running shoes for walking long distances on sand. Choosing to walk where the sand is hard-packed when the tide is low can also be helpful. Possibly the most important but easily overlooked step to protect feet at the beach is to apply sunscreen. The tops of the feet are easily overlooked, but they can burn pretty readily. And if you are planning to spend time sunbathing prone, you might even want to apply sunscreen to the bottoms of your feet. They never see the sun, and walking on sunburned soles could be quite painful. Protecting Bare Feet Another consideration at the beach is how you will get from the parking lot or boardwalk to the water. How hot is the sand? If it is hot enough to burn the soles of your feet, you might consider using water sandals. In general, going barefoot can be risky. Whether you're at the beach, at a campground, in your own backyard or even inside your home, there are potential hazards underfoot. Bits of glass shards, little pieces of wire, tiny pebbles or nails could all cause havoc if they end up embedded in a sole. Protecting your soles by wearing good flip-flops makes a lot of sense. To find a list of flip-flops that provide appropriate arch support as well as sole protection, consult apma.org. Treating Black Toenails During this episode, Joe describes a trip to the beach with a long walk. By the time he removed his shoes, his longest toe had a black toenail that was rather painful. Although the pain faded before too long, it took about a year for the dark color to disappear from the nail. Dr. Andersen suggests that it often takes at least nine months to regrow a toenail. She emphasizes that if the nail turns black due to sudden trauma (like dropping something heavy on the toe), a podiatrist should check it out. Sometimes there is a fracture under that discolored nail that requires medical attention for proper healing. What Is the Story on Flat Feet? Joe has always had flat feet. Perhaps your feet are flat, too. The condition is pretty common. If Joe gets out of a bathtub or swimming pool and leaves footprints, they are almost oval. There is very little indentation in the center. Other people with higher arches may leave footprints that are nearly C-shaped. Flat feet can benefit from arch support such as orthotic inserts for shoes. High arches can also cause trouble, especially if they are linked to a genetic condition called Charcot-Marie-Tooth. It is a nerve disorder that can also lead to muscle weakness. Consequently, people with high arches may also need podiatric care for their feet to stay comfortable and healthy. Plantar Fasciitis Is a Pain The bottoms of your feet have thick connective tissue called fascia that run from the heel to the ball of the foot. Inflammation of this tissue causes pain, typically at the heel but sometimes along the arch. Often, more supportive footgear or special orthotics can help. Getting a shoe with the correct heel drop is important. That is the difference between the height of the shoe at the heel and at the toe. A podiatrist can recommend the most appropriate heel drop for your feet. Stretching is also useful, particularly pulling the toes toward the knee or stretching the calf in a runner's stretch pose and holding for 30 seconds or so. Rolling the bottom of the foot on a frozen water bottle helps with the stretch at the same time that the cold eases the inflammation. Plantar fasciitis is common and treatable. If left untreated, it may last a long time. What Can You Do About Stinky Feet? A couple of listeners shared their experiences with smelly feet, and we asked Dr. Andersen for her opinion. Jan described using a topical erythromycin antibiotic prescription that came as a roll-on. She also got rid of all her stinky shoes and is careful to wear socks that will wick sweat away. Dr. Andersen noted that erythromycin is very effective against a bacterial infection with Corynebacterium minutissimum. This organism glows coral under ultraviolet light and can definitely raise a stink. Sophia wrote about developing smelly feet after walking around in wet shoes. She finally solved the problem by treating her feet with rubbing alcohol. Dr. Andersen agreed that rubbing alcohol could be helpful. So can soaking the feet in a strong solution of tea. Other tips include cleaning the floor of the shower stall frequently and always wearing socks that wick–not cotton, which absorbs sweat but traps the moisture. Acrylic or wool work better. Another tactic is to alternate shoes; don't wear the same shoes day after day but give them at least a day to dry out. How Should You Treat a Sprained Ankle? There has been controversy lately about the standard RICE protocol for a sprain: rest, ice, compression and elevation. Some experts now recommend warmth instead of ice and gentle motion rather than rest immediately after a sprain. Of course, the first step is to ascertain that it is really a sprain and not a fracture. The treatment for those two injuries is completely different and the person suffering the problem may not be able to tell just from the way it feels. An X-ray is prudent. Bunions and Hammer Toes If you don't suffer from bunions, you might not know what they are. In a bunion, the bone that supports the big toe (the metatarsal) moves out of alignment and starts to point more towards the midline of the body. To compensate, the rest of the big toe ends up pointing back toward the rest of the foot. This creates a bump on the edge of the foot that might be painful. There doesn't seem to be any clear correlation between the size of the bump and the amount of pain it causes. Bunions seem to be hereditary, at least to some extent. Conservative management entails choosing footwear with a roomy toe box, not pointy-toed shoes. Podiatrists also correct bunions surgically. They can choose from a wide range of surgical approaches. In hammer toes, one of the toes (typically the second toe) curls over so that the end that would normally face forward points downward. This too can be corrected surgically, but the recovery can be pretty lengthy. A roomy toe box is also a good bet for living with hammer toe. Taking Care of Your Feet We asked Dr. Andersen for general advice, and she suggested that one very important consideration is to buy your athletic shoes in person, preferably at a store that caters to athletes. Buy the proper shoes for your activity; in other words, don't try to play pickleball in running shoes. One nationwide chain that does a good job fitting the shoe to the athlete is Fleet Feet. Locally, she recommends Bull City Running. This Week’s Guest Dr. Jane Andersen, Board Certified, American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery, is in practice at Chapel Hill Foot and Ankle, part of FASMA, Foot and Ankle specialists of the Mid Atlantic, in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Dr. Andersen specializes in Foot and ankle care for Children, Adults, Athletes and Geriatric Patients including surgery and conservative care.

This fall, my youngest, my last one, leaves for college. Twenty-one years of being a mom, and I'm standing at the edge of a chapter I don't know how to close. When my son left two years ago, I was a wreck. Shame that I was “too attached,” fear of who I am when mothering isn't my daily identity, questions about my marriage, my life, my self.So when Jodie Patterson agreed to come back on the podcast, the timing felt like more than coincidence.This is Jodie's third time on Cracking Open: she was episode 2, back before I knew what I was doing, and episode 65. She's a friend, and a voice this podcast keeps coming back to. And this time, I felt how much we've both shifted since we last talked.Jodie Patterson is an award-winning, globally recognized author, activist, beauty explorer, and mother of five. She was the first Black person to chair the Human Rights Campaign Board, our nation's largest LGBT organization, and speaks widely on identity, gender, race, and radical parenting. Her memoir, The Bold World, was called “marvelous” by Alice Walker, and her children's book, Born Ready, was gifted to every public school in Kansas. She also co-founded two beauty companies, works with Mount Sinai Hospital on health disparities and transgender medicine, and has been recognized by the United Nations as a Champion of Change.Here's what we got into.✨Slow down internally, then respond from your highest selfThe night before we recorded, one of Jodie's adult children texted asking her to back off on the weekly check-ins. Her first instinct was hurt. Instead of firing back, she put the phone down, cried a little, and responded from a steadier place: “I'll slow down, I'm a phone call away, and when you shift, I'll shift with you.” One of the best examples of parenting adult children I've heard on this show.✨Mothering as an internal revolutionWe box ourselves in as much as the world boxes us in, and the deepest revolution is internal. Raising five kids across different relationships, cultures, and identities has taught Jodie that gender, faith, and family are far more fluid than she was raised to believe.✨Two years without a loverAfter a family near-death experience, Jodie stopped dating entirely for two years, not from lack of desire, but because energy is finite. She described it like moving houses and finally seeing what's been under the carpet for years. What she found is the foundation for how she's dating now, at 55, with a clarity she didn't have before.✨Healing versus fixingJodie's daily practice isn't about optimizing; it's about healing what's underneath instead of numbing it:Stretching before she's even out of bedTen minutes on a vibration plateWeight training and an hour walking her dogsWhole foods, less caffeinePlant medicine and clinical ketamine therapy, used intentionally and under care✨Hustle down, flow upI shared the phrase my solopreneur friends coined: hustle down, flow up, and Jodie lit up. Less ambition to write the next book or chair the next board. More interest in what makes her feel alive: alone time, surfing for the first time in Costa Rica, tree hugging.✨Humility, earnedJodie said something I won't forget: she's had to earn her children's respect and companionship, the same way she'd earn it with anyone she loves. That humility has softened her — while her boundaries have only gotten clearer.I came into this episode carrying so much about my own transition twenty-one years of identity wrapped up in being someone's mom. Talking to Jodie didn't hand me answers, but it did something better: she gave me permission to be me again. If you're standing at your own edge of letting go, I hope this conversation gives you that same permission.Jodie, thank you for trusting me with this conversation again. Listen to the full episode wherever you get your podcasts, and if you missed Jodie's first appearance, go back to episode 65.

What started as a chat about morning routines turned into church, therapy, and a girls' trip all rolled into one. Tiffany gets real about white-knuckling through menopause and coming out the other side feeling reborn, like she went through the "birthing tunnel" and hit the reset button on her whole life at almost-55. The ladies dig into the hormone hell nobody warns you about: the inflammation, the insulin resistance, the adult acne, the frozen shoulder, and the weight that piles on no matter how hard you Peloton. But this one goes deeper than hormones. We're talking about the sweaty, yucky, six-weekends-on-the-couch conversations that saved a 22-year marriage. Healing people-pleasing and codependency. Learning to mother yourself after a lifetime of accepting crumbs. And the game-changing truth that your nervous system can only hold so much until you regulate it and watch your whole world explode.

To hear more, visit www.serioustrouble.showThis week: Judge Kathleen Williams' eviscerates President Trump's attorneys for their sham lawsuit that was ultimately used as a pretext to create the “weaponization fund” settlement. Her order is bracing. But what are its practical effects? Is the settlement actually void, including the part that was supposed to protect Trump from future IRS audits? Also: E. Jean Carroll finally got the smaller of her two Trump judgments paid out. And we consider the very aggressive legal theory under which Mahmoud Khalil is suing the people who advocated for him to be deported, and the Trump administration's effort to find out how The New York Times learned about security threats to the president's new Qatari jet.That's this week's free episode. For paying subscribers, we look at the Trump administration's effort to get information about how Boris Epshteyn, its own representative, communicated with law firms that settled in the face of adverse executive orders. Awkward. Plus: a defamation case that should worry New York City Councilwoman Vickie Paladino, at least as regards one of its claims, and we consider a bizarre episode that has Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl back in the news, pursuing their very own big-boy federal felonies.

Dr. Rosy Boa hosts an episode of Science of Slink on neurodivergence and pole with neurodivergent psychologist and pole dancer Gabby Desmond. They define neurodivergence as a broad umbrella beyond autism and ADHD (including OCD, BPD, and learning disabilities like dyslexia) and discuss why neurodivergent people may be drawn to pole for its structure, predictability, community “parallel play,” and endless achievable challenges. They explore sensory processing and regulation through spinning, inversion, and aerial hammock, plus differences in interoception and pain that can affect conditioning, stretching, and injury risk. The conversation covers learning preferences (visual vs verbal cues), difficulties with right/left and choreography, managing ADHD/autistic boom-bust training cycles, focusing on core vocabulary over trick inflation, and using external cues and varied feedback to support motor learning. Gabby shares where to find her work at unfurlpsychology and on Instagram.Where to find Gabby: Unfurl psychology: https://www.unfurlpsychology.com.au/ https://www.instagram.com/unfurl.psychology Chapters:00:00 Welcome and Introductions02:11 What Neurodivergence Means03:51 Why Pole Attracts ND Folks06:30 Sensory Seeking and Spinning11:41 Dyslexia and Learning Pole15:35 Learning Styles and Flow18:41 Boom Bust Training Cycles24:05 Interoception and Pain25:45 Stretching and Hypermobility29:53 Learning Through Feedback38:36 Failure and Self Efficacy41:22 Why Pole Community Works42:42 Wrap Up and Links

What if the advice you've been given for years about stretching is only part of the story?Millions of people stretch every day hoping to reduce pain, prevent injury and improve flexibility. Yet despite their best efforts, muscle tension returns, injuries keep recurring and movement often feels stiff and restricted.In this episode of the Total Somatics Show, Heidi Hadley explores why stretching alone cannot restore healthy neuromyofascial function. Discover how a mismatch between flaccid, underactive muscles and stiff, overloaded tendons can increase your risk of injury, and why modern pain science, movement science and fascial science are transforming the way we understand healthy movement.You'll also discover why pandiculation—our innate sensory motor reset mechanism—is emerging as one of the most effective ways to improve muscle function, restore movement quality and support long-term tendon health.In this episode you'll discover:✔ Why muscle flexibility alone doesn't guarantee healthy movement✔ The important relationship between muscles, tendons and fascia✔ How tendon stiffness can increase injury risk✔ Why repeatedly stretching tight muscles often produces only temporary results✔ The difference between passive stretching and active neuromuscular control✔ How pandiculation restores communication between your brain and muscles✔ Why modern pain science, movement science and fascial science all support improving sensory motor control✔ Practical ways to move more efficiently, reduce recurring tension and build long-term resilienceKey Takeaways• Healthy movement depends on communication between the brain, muscles, fascia and tendons—not simply increasing flexibility.• A muscle may appear "tight" because of altered neurological control rather than because it is physically short.• When muscles become inhibited or lose efficient control, tendons may compensate by becoming excessively stiff, increasing mechanical load and injury risk.• Improving sensory awareness and motor control through pandiculation helps restore balanced movement and healthier force distribution throughout the body.• Better movement quality—not simply more movement—is the key to long-term mobility and injury prevention.Continue Your Learning

The Author Events Series presents M Lin | The Memory Museum: Stories In Conversation with 'Pemi Aguda Stretching from the present day to the near future, from China to America and beyond, M Lin's piercing and melodious debut captures the spirit of China's One-Child Generation as its characters navigate homes and cultures, hopes and contradictions, survival and resistance. These frank, tender, and playful stories offer profound insight into the ambivalence of migration, the perverse ways race and class can operate, and what it means to be Chinese today. The collection begins with ''Scenes from Childhood,'' in which a lonely, elderly woman in a dystopian reality remembers her grandfather's village. In ''Magic, or Something Less Assuring,'' a politically divided couple goes on a divorce honeymoon in Morocco. ''You Won't Read This in the News'' features four migrant workers during one night of petty theft and connection. In ''Tough Egg,'' a filmmaker thwarted by censorship untangles her fraught relationship to motherhood. Other stories portray a photographer reuniting with her first love in Beijing; the historic White Paper protests that ended the zero-COVID policy; and generations into the future, a newly instated Memory Museum where two sensory architects share their vision for a utopian world. With daring political and creative commitment, The Memory Museum brims with joy even as Lin exposes the knife's edge between powerlessness and agency, pain and intimacy, our memories and our futures. M Lin is a Chinese writer living in the US. Her stories have appeared in Ploughshares, Swamp Pink, Joyland, Epiphany, Fence, and Best Debut Short Stories 2023, and her nonfiction can be read in The New York Times, Guernica, The Rumpus, and elsewhere.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain the biology of flexibility and discuss the organ systems that shape range of motion and limb flexibility. I also discuss different types of stretching, which methods are most effective, and practical tools for timing stretching relative to exercise. Finally, I provide specific protocols for how intensely and how often to stretch to maximize flexibility, support exercise performance, and offset age-related losses of flexibility.

In this episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis and producer Eric react to viral social media creator Granny Bibbins and her controversial takes on grocery spending, inflation, and personal finance. What starts as a discussion about food costs quickly evolves into a deeper conversation about consumer habits, entitlement, lifestyle inflation, and the difference between acknowledging economic challenges and taking personal responsibility. Travis shares lessons from successful entrepreneurs who built wealth by living below their means and explains why financial discipline still matters—even in a more expensive world. On this episode we talk about: The debate over rising grocery prices and inflation Whether cooking at home still saves money in today's economy The impact of lifestyle inflation on long-term wealth building Why successful entrepreneurs often delay gratification Balancing personal responsibility with economic realities Top 3 Takeaways Two things can be true at once: the cost of living has increased dramatically, and many people still overspend on conveniences they don't truly need. Building wealth often requires saying "no" to short-term luxuries so you can say "yes" to bigger opportunities later. Complaining about economic conditions won't change your financial future—taking action and controlling what you can will. Notable Quotes "Nobody's ever going to care more about your personal finances than you are." "I don't think enough people are willing to say no to the excess." "Money only solves your money problems, but it's easier to solve the rest of your problems when you've got some money in the bank."

That tight hamstring you've been stretching might be your nervous system asking for something else entirely. When pain shows up in one place, the source is often somewhere else. Dr. Andrew Fix walks through a real patient case from Physio Room where a woman who was experiencing persistent pain in her hamstring had been doing what most people do: stretching it out and hoping mobility work would eventually help. The sciatic nerve originates from the lowest nerve roots of the lumbar spine, and when those roots get irritated, the nerve signals the hamstring to hold protective tension. What feels like tightness is the nervous system protecting itself. Stretching works against that response. In many cases like this one, the root cause is a lack of spinal stability. Without adequate muscular control around the pelvis and lumbar spine, gravity loads the vertebral joints and compresses the nerve roots every time you sit or stand. Dr. Fix explains how positional testing revealed exactly this pattern: her hamstring tested pain-free lying down but reproduced symptoms seated. When she was cued to engage her deep core before repeating the painful test, symptoms dropped roughly 70% without a single hands-on intervention. The muscle was the same. The spinal load was not. How often are people chasing mobility and flexibility when the real missing ingredient is stability and control? Dr. Fix makes the case for thorough assessment before any treatment begins, and offers a clear signal to watch for: if a practitioner skips the diagnostic work and goes straight to treating what you describe, it is worth getting a second opinion. Quotes "Nerves are like electrical cords. They don't enjoy being tugged on." (04:25 | Dr. Andrew Fix) "Your body's trying to have this protective mechanism, we're trying to stretch and take it away, and we're not necessarily helping ourselves out. We're temporarily relieving symptoms, but we're not addressing the real issue at hand." (04:40 | Dr. Andrew Fix) "When you have a lack of stability, what you cannot do is you cannot stretch it away. Because stretching doesn't give you stability. Stability is like strength and control, your ability to control the joints and the tissues while you're going through movement." (05:20 | Dr. Andrew Fix) "It hurts when there's no stability being created for the spine. But it doesn't hurt or doesn't hurt nearly as much when we do create some stability for the spine." (11:17 | Dr. Andrew Fix) "They shouldn't be just starting to treat something before they've really done a thorough assessment to know what they need to treat in the first place."

Stretching moments in the walk with the Lord.
Are you blue? Do you know someone who is blue? Does blue describe the color of your world? If you answer yes to any of these questions, you probably should seek some professional help. But, you also should listen to this podcast, because we are cool. In reading this issue, I think we all came to the conclusion that stretching is the term we should use. Stretching the truth, stretching taffy, stretching reality, stretching the metaphor. You get what I am saying, right? If you have any idea what we are talking about, then you are ahead of us. Remember, we are not that smart, or bright, or sober. Some people question what we are doing and why. I am questioning what I am writing. In this book, there is chaos and fighting. There is confusion. There is also plot and development. And that is something that I could be talking about. What I can say is that Alex Power is fighting in one shattered panel, and that is why we are here. Is this upsetting you? Is this making you sad? Don't be sad. Don't get upset about us being obscure. Don't get down and depressed and sit in the dark. Don't be like Sharon You should be happy like Ben and Sue. You should be free, not being taken over by your evil psychotic alter ego. You should be sitting in the light. You should be smiley and shiny. Also, you should change your clothes if you are smelly and dirty. Are you confused? So are we. So there we are. We have written something, and it has been read. Thanks for your support.

Finish Your Day Before It Starts June 4, 2026 | Episode 5471 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Most mornings start with you reacting. Email pulls you one way, somebody's crisis pulls you another, and by noon the day is running you instead of the other way around. Years ago a wealthy boss handed me a set of Zig Ziglar cassettes that changed how I work. One idea stuck harder than the rest, and I've lived by it every single day since. It's not about cramming more into your schedule. It's about knowing where you're headed before your feet hit the floor. Press play and I'll show you exactly how. Featured Story I was about 24, working for a wealthy boss who saw something in me he couldn't quite tame. Instead of fighting it, he got smart. He handed me a Nightingale-Conant album — twelve Zig Ziglar cassettes called See You at the Top. Back then you couldn't just download this stuff. A set like that ran a couple hundred bucks, and I couldn't have afforded it. He gave it to me anyway. That weekend I binged it before binging was cool. One line buried in those tapes rewired how I run my life, and I still use it every single day. Important Points Your day shouldn't even begin until you know the one meaningful result that pulls you closer to your bigger goals. Finishing your day before it starts isn't about packing your schedule; it's about deciding your direction first. When you know where you're headed a year out, the daily chaos stops feeling like an emergency and starts shrinking. Memorable Quotes Finish your day before it begins — that one line from Zig Ziglar quietly shaped everything about how I work today. My day should not begin until I know the meaningful result I want, the one that gets me closer to my ultimate goal. All the little crazy stuff spinning around you every day is insignificant, and once you see that, you can let it go. Scott's Three-Step Approach Before today even starts, look ahead into tomorrow and decide the one meaningful result you want to walk away with. Then stretch that same thinking out across a month, a year, even five years, so you always know your true direction. When chaos hits today, check it against that direction; if it doesn't move you forward, finish it and move on fast.
