On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, the United States is a nation at war with itself, dividing Americans into two sides: patriotic, red-blooded citizens who love their country on one side, and elected Democrats in Washington—along with their operatives, Marxists, Islamists, the woke Reich neo-fascists—on the other. The Democrat Party policies undermine national security and sovereignty, such as opening borders to unvetted illegal aliens for years, allowing dangerous individuals to remain in the country.  This includes reluctance to deport, willingness to undermine protective agencies like the Coast Guard and TSA during heightened threats, and overall betrayal.  Also, certain phony influencers, along with elements of the Democratic Party, are spreading antisemitism, embracing overseas enemies, inciting violence against Jews and Christians and providing aid and comfort to adversaries during wartime. There are escalating attacks targeting Jews and Jewish facilities, such as the attack on the Temple Israel synagogue in Michigan. Then there's the shooting at Old Dominion University by a gunman was previously convicted for ISIS support.  Later, the media is foolish for suggesting Iran needs to activate sleeper cells, as Islamist operatives are already brainwashed, self-motivated, and perpetually poised to act without any central call. These threats extend beyond Jews, as evidenced by 9/11, and more violence is inevitable, putting everyone at risk. Additionally, Iran's regime is deliberately attempting to block the Strait of Hormuz to drive up oil prices, aiming to generate global pressure on President Trump. The media and foreign actors are hypocritically amplifying complaints about rising oil costs—despite previously ignoring high prices under climate change agendas—while propagandists in the press aid the enemy and push for concessions to preserve this homicidal, genocidal regime. Finally, James Rosen calls in to discuss his book - Scalia: Supreme Court Years, 1986 to 2001. He explains that Scalia was one of the important Americans of the last 100 years.

5. Professor Evan Ellis of the US Army War College details the geopolitical struggle over Panama's ports, where an interim contract was awarded to an American-affiliated company after a Chinese-owned operator's lease was ruled unconstitutional. He discusses the Chinese government's retaliation, which includes suspending services and threatening that Panama will pay a "heavy price" for the decision.

Confidence isn't just mindset crap. It affects your pricing, your messaging, your sales conversations and your boundaries. And ultimately - whether your retreat fills or flops. In this episode, Shannon is joined by leadership expert, sales strategist, and bestselling author Nathan Jamail (she is biased, but he is pretty damn amazing) to unpack the real reason many retreat leaders struggle to sell out their events: lack of business confidence. They discuss: Imposter syndrome in the retreat industry Underpricing rooted in insecurity Overexplaining instead of leading What confident messaging actually sounds like How to build real, earned business confidence They also share that this episode was recorded in their new studio space in Austin - and you can now watch the full conversation on YouTube. If you've ever doubted yourself while launching a retreat, this episode will challenge and strengthen you. What You'll Learn Why confidence directly impacts conversions The hidden cost of underpricing How retreat leaders accidentally repel buyers The difference between loud marketing and confident leadership The discipline required to build real business confidence Key Takeaways Imposter syndrome doesn't disappear - it's managed through action.

Think your problem is consistency? A lot of women over 40 believe that if they could just be more disciplined, more motivated, or more consistent… everything would finally click. But what if the problem isn't you? What if the real issue is that your life is full and your bandwidth has changed? Between work, family schedules, travel, stress, sleep changes, and hormones doing their own thing, many women are trying to follow the same health plan they used in their 30s. And that's where things start to break down.

In this episode, Kim replaces the usual Q&A format with a powerful masterclass on one concept that explains why so many women struggle to change their bodies. After reading through the questions from the group, Kim realized that almost every question had the same underlying issue: women begin fitness programs with a hypothesis about what their body will look like, how fast results will happen, and what transformation should feel like. When reality doesn't match that expectation, disappointment follows. Kim shares the story of her own journey — from being a starving yoga teacher living on 1,000 calories a day to discovering bodybuilding and stepping on stage as a bikini athlete. Through that experience, she learned the difference between assumptions and real data when it comes to body transformation. Inside this episode: • Why dieting alone doesn't change body composition • The difference between hypothesis and real-world data in fitness • Why unrealistic expectations derail progress • The truth about how long muscle actually takes to build • How to turn disappointment into useful feedback • Why consistency over time is the real key to transformation This episode is essential listening for women who want sustainable fat loss, real muscle development, and a mindset that supports long-term results. ✨ Follow Kim Constable online for more real talk and daily motivation:

In this episode of Wine After Work, Bryce sits down with Elif Acar-Chiasson, P.E., founder of OPLE Leadership and former COO with over 30 years in the AEC industry. Elif built her consulting practice after living inside what she calls a "broken autonomy model." Brilliant engineers are promoted into leadership roles, then trapped in approval culture where every decision climbs uphill for permission. The leader becomes the bottleneck. The team stops growing. Everyone burns out. Together, Bryce and Elif unpack: • Why technical excellence and leadership requirements are often in conflict • The hidden addiction to approval and control inside engineering firms • Why autonomy is not "do whatever you want," but clear decision ownership with guardrails • How emotional intelligence supports decision-making under pressure • What stepping away from a COO role taught Elif about fit and courage • Why leading with both head and heart is not weakness but maturity • What competitive ballroom dancing at 50 revealed about starting over and discomfort Elif shares a systemic approach to leadership. Instead of coaching one overwhelmed leader in isolation, she looks at the entire decision architecture of a team. Who owns what? Where decisions stall. How trust is built or broken. Her core belief: the most critical structural integrity is not in buildings. It is in teams. About Elif: Elif Acar-Chiasson, P.E., is a Professional Engineer and founder of OPLE Leadership. After 12 years as an executive, including 8 as COO at CSRS/Westwood, she now works with technical professionals who are exceptional at their craft but struggling in leadership roles. She translates emotional intelligence into engineering frameworks and helps teams redesign how decisions are made so leaders are no longer the bottleneck. Originally from Istanbul, Turkey, Elif brings a multicultural lens to leadership and challenges the idea that "people skills" are separate from technical rigor.   https://www.elifchiasson.com/

The inside is usually…a little messier.In episode 160, I sit down with Liz Astrof, TV writer ("Stumble," "King of Queens," "Pivoting," etc.) and author of Stay-At-Work Mom, to talk about the real mechanics of building a career in entertainment and publishing. Not the highlight reel. The actual process.Liz shares what it's like to write for television while also stepping into the world of books. Different mediums. Different pressures. Same core truth: Good work takes time to find its footing.We talk about the long stretch between idea and green light. The pitches that don't land. The projects that stall. And why collaboration is both the magic and the madness of working in TV (and being an author!).She also shares a candid look at her version of resilience. Not the motivational-poster version but the practical version, where you keep showing up, keep refining, and keep creating—even when the timeline isn't cooperating (which, let's face it, is the one constant).If you've ever wondered how creative careers actually unfold—or questioned whether persistence alone is enough—this conversation will feel familiar and encouraging in the best possible ways.***** This episode is sponsored by Atticus, the all-in-one writing and book formatting software for self-publishing authors.

Stability and early mental health care are the biggest levers for improving outcomes for kids impacted by foster care. In this episode, Michelle Turner, founder and CEO of Here Now Health, shares how her experience as a foster parent revealed critical gaps in mental healthcare access for children and young adults in the child welfare system. She explains how placement instability, case manager turnover, and reliance on crisis care undermine long-term stability and permanency. Michelle explores why foster youth drive significantly higher Medicaid spending due to emergency interventions rather than preventive care, and how virtual, trauma-informed therapy that follows the child can improve outcomes. She closes with insights on caregiver support and how Medicaid and policy can be better leveraged as preventive tools designed specifically for foster youth. Tune in and learn how targeted, trauma-informed virtual care can prevent crisis, stabilize families, and transform outcomes for foster youth!

Mary Elizabeth Porray, Global Vice Chair Client Technology and COO, Growth and Innovation at EY, joins The Tech Trek for a grounded conversation about what it actually takes to operationalize emerging technologies inside a global enterprise. This episode goes past the AI hype cycle and into the real work of adoption, change management, process redesign, workforce trust, and leadership in ambiguity. A lot of companies are asking what AI can do. Fewer are asking what needs to change for AI to actually work. Mary Elizabeth shares how EY is thinking about experimentation, employee experience, guardrails, internal adoption, and the cultural shifts required to move from curiosity to real impact.In this episodeWhy culture, not technology, is often the biggest blocker to emerging tech adoptionWhy AI is not a magic wand, but can help teams solve problems in a different wayHow leaders can identify the right starting points by listening for real pain pointsWhy productivity gains have to create psychological space, not just more workHow affinity groups, storytelling, and visible leadership help drive adoptionTimestamped highlights01:58 Why cultural norms often slow down emerging technology adoption03:25 AI hype, false expectations, and what the technology can realistically change05:55 The mental load of AI at work, and why EY created Thrive Time11:20 Why AI pilots need to go deeper than surface level experimentation15:19 How AI is creating a shared language between business and technology teams29:29 How storytelling, affinity groups, and positive momentum help people lean inOne line that sticks: AI is not something you dabble in.A practical takeawayThe best place to start is not with the flashiest use case.

In this message from Pastor Levi Lusko, we confront the one sin most of us think we don't struggle with, greed. Through Luke 12 and 1 Timothy 6, this teaching shows how our hearts can slowly shift from devotion to God to devotion to lesser things, and invites us to pursue contentment, generosity, and eternal treasure.NEXT STEPS:Ask for prayer or connect with a pastor: https://freshlife.church/contactRegister your decision to follow Jesus and receive free resources: https://freshlife.church/know-godGive a financial gift to support what God is doing as we take steps forward to see the Gospel reach far and wide: https://freshlife.church/giveSUBSCRIBE:Sign up to receive encouragement straight to your inbox, and to stay up to date with announcements, events, and more: https://church.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=6ea4d82b2567db3e86b7767cd&id=451f2fe63eDon't miss a video!

Fr. Timothy Gallagher describes how temptation often appears during times of anxiety or discouragement in the spiritual life. The post SISL8 – I’m Troubled and I’m Tempted; I’m Going to Fail – Struggles in the Spiritual Life with Fr. Timothy Gallagher – Discerning Hearts Podcasts appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.

In this episode, Dr. K explains the "Paradox of the Stupid Intelligent Person"—how high intelligence can circle back around and become a unique form of stupidity. He breaks down the common blind spots that cause smart people to fail and provides a roadmap for leveraging your IQ more effectively. What to expect in this episode: The Tool Mismatch: Why using abstract logic for social situations is like "milking a cow with a hammer" and how it causes your social intuition to "rust". The Mindlessness Trap: How your brain's ability to predict what happens next causes you to stop paying attention, leading to mistakes in "simple" tasks. Arguing for Error: Why being smart makes you better at defending wrong beliefs, making it much harder to admit when you are actually wrong. Misapplied Rules: A look at why successful leaders often struggle at home by applying "business rules" to their family and children. The "Thinking Disposition": A guide to fixing these blind spots by learning to collect more information and intentionally seeking out contrary opinions. Thinking Critically About Thinking: Why the smarter you are, the less likely you are to question your own logic, and how to break that cycle.HG Coaching : https://bit.ly/46bIkdo Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health: https://bit.ly/44z3SztHG Memberships : https://bit.ly/3TNoMVf Products & Services : https://bit.ly/44kz7x0 HealthyGamer.GG: https://bit.ly/3ZOopgQ Learn more about your ad choices.

Ever found yourself thinking, ‘I've followed Jesus for years—why does this still feel hard?' If that question has crossed your mind, you're not alone. In today's episode, I'm joined by Kristen LaValley, author of Growing Up Saved, who shares how saying the sinner's prayer at a young age eventually led to deeper questions, seasons where faith felt heavy, and the guilt grew stronger. Yet Kristen gently reminds us we can bring our real questions to a God who isn't intimidated by them, but holds all the answers. As we do, we'll find how He uses it to deepen our roots in Him even further. Together, let's learn how to shift from something to prove to something simply received, how to sit with questions without fearing them, and what it looks like to keep trusting God when you don't have all the answers. God isn't asking you to have it all figured out—just to keep walking with Him, one honest, faithful step at a time.   Connect with Kristen LaValley: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristen.lavalley Website: https://www.kristenlavalley.com/ Book, Growing Up Saved: https://rstyle.me/+bowETlUF86x1H4hjQvCeYw   Connect with Heidi Lee Anderson: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heidileeanderson/ 100-Day Devotional, All In, All Yours: https://rstyle.me/+11Ii1owgccFkGPU0t1uz3w Passion Week Family Devotional: https://heidileeandersonministries.com/travelpassionweek

Matthew Bowman and Wayne LeCheminant are the co-authors of the new book, Game Changers: AJ Dybantsa, BYU, and the Struggle for the Soul of Basketball.In one of the most unlikely coups in college basketball history, a religious school in Utah signed basketball phenomenon AJ Dybantsa. He will play for Brigham Young University - hardly the sort of basketball powerhouse that typically attracts exceptional and non-Mormon players like him.Game Changers explores how BYU managed this stunning feat. A year before signing Dybantsa, the university lured coaching star Kevin Young from the NBA to run its basketball program. In the decade before, court rulings and institutional reform put money at the forefront of college sports in ways the American public had never seen. And for generations before that, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints built a theological structure and institutional commitment to basketball that put the sport front and center at BYU.Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @hoopheadspod for the latest updates on episodes, guests, and events from the Hoop Heads Pod.Make sure you're subscribed to the Hoop Heads Pod on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts and while you're there please leave us a 5 star rating and review.

Notes John 9: 1-41 1 Samuel 16:1-13 Ephesians 5:8-14 Summary This episode explores the profound themes of sight, blindness, and community in John 9, alongside insights from 1 Samuel 16 and Ephesians 5. Join us as we unpack the spiritual and social implications of these passages, emphasizing justice, love, and God's call to see beyond appearances. Chapters 00:00 Introduction to the Pulpit Fiction Podcast 01:52 Survey Results and Community Engagement 04:28 Exploring John 9: The Healing of the Blind Man 09:05 Understanding the Johannine Community's Struggles 12:00 The Significance of Jesus' Healing 17:47 Reframing Disability and Divine Works 22:03 The Blindness of the Pharisees 25:53 Community and the Fear of Expulsion 29:50 Judgment and Illness in Modern Contexts 32:10 The Blind Beggar: A Community's Responsibility 34:07 God's Mighty Works: Embracing Diversity and Inclusion 37:05 Anointing: Seeing Beyond Appearance 40:45 The Power of Anointing in Worship 42:51 Chosen for Responsibility: The Weight of Anointing 45:47 Grief and Moving Forward: A Call to Action 49:54 Living as Children of Light: Justice and Truth 54:12 The Call to Speak Truth: Justice vs. Judgment Takeaways God's mighty works can be displayed through our differences and disabilities. Community responses to healing reveal deeper issues of justice and acceptance. Seeing with the heart is more important than physical sight in biblical faith. The story of David's anointing teaches us about God's choice beyond appearances. Living as children of light involves actively producing goodness, justice, and truth.

Struggling to understand your child's ups and downs? This episode uncovers what's really driving your dysregulated child's meltdowns, anxiety, and focus struggles, giving parents clear insight and tools from Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, expert in Regulation First Parenting™ and childhood emotional dysregulation.Many parents ask, what's really driving your dysregulated child's meltdowns anxiety and focus struggles? The answer isn't bad behavior. It's a stressed nervous system stuck in survival mode.I unveil The Dysregulated Kid, my parenting playbook rooted in nervous system regulation. After three decades as a mental health professional, I want to emphasize: we must stop chasing separate labels and start calming the child's nervous system first.Why does my child have meltdowns, anxiety, and focus problems all at once?Parents are often told these are separate issues—ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, anxiety, mood swings. But what if your child's meltdowns, emotional dysregulation, and focus struggles are signals from the same activated child's brain?When stress hormones stay elevated, the nervous system shifts into fight or flight mode. The amygdala goes on high alert, and the prefrontal cortex—the part responsible for impulse control, problem solving, and emotional regulation skills—goes offline.That's when you see:Emotional meltdowns over small requestsSensory overload and strong feelingsPoor impulse controlDifficulty starting tasksPublic meltdowns that feel confusing and exhaustingIt's not defiance. It's a child whose nervous system is overwhelmed.What's happening in my child's brain during intense meltdowns?During childhood meltdowns, stress hormones like cortisol surge. In sympathetic overdrive, your child cannot access coping skills or manage emotions effectively.Meltdowns happen when the nervous system loses flexibility. The brain gets stuck in survival mode. Over time, ongoing stress creates patterns of chronic stress that won't resolve without intervention.Signs your child may be overstimulated:Intense reactions and emotional outburstsTrouble settling at nightRigidity and control battlesAnxiety loops and worrySigns of an understimulated pattern:Shutdown or avoidanceSchool refusalMood stabilizers not improving focusProcrastination or appearing “lazy”Both patterns are nervous system issues—not character flaws.If you're not sure whether your child is stuck in an over- or under-stimulated pattern, Quick CALM can help you figure it out fast. Why doesn't discipline or medication fix emotional dysregulation?Many children are treated with pressure, punishment, or medication when behavior escalates. But treating overstimulation with discipline increases stress. Treating underactivation with pressure deepens withdrawal.Stress worsens emotional regulation and emotional resilience. It impacts learning, self regulation, and even long-term mental health.I want to remind parents:This is a capacity issue, not a compliance issue.You must lower stress before layering skills.Nervous system regulation comes before behavior change.You can't teach regulation skills to a child whose brain is in fight or flight mode.If you're tired of walking on eggshells or feeling like nothing works…Get the FREE Regulation Rescue Kit and finally learn what to say and do in the heat of the moment.Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP at www.drroseann.com/newsletter and take the first step to a calmer home.How can I help my dysregulated child calm down?Let's calm the brain first.Practical proactive strategies include:Deep breathing and breathing exercises togetherGentle pressure and deep pressure hugsRhythmic movement or physical activityCreating a quiet space during challenging momentsConsistent routines and clear expectationsModeling remaining calm with a calm voiceWhen a meltdown occurs:Take a deep breath yourselfLower demands temporarilyOffer sensory integration toolsFocus on connection before correctionYour regulated presence helps your child calm. When you regulate your own nervous system, you help children develop emotional regulation skills.

Let's face it: every high performer has an area where they struggle. And, it is almost always a soft skill. What can we do about this? Use your soft-skill struggle as a superpower by naming it & owning it, modulating your Appearance & Behaviors + Actions accordingly, being intentional & consistent with your Appearance & Behaviors + Actions, and letting your Big Thing be your compass. You're in for a real treat in this one, as we get VULNERABLE about the struggles & triggers we've been called out for in our careers.

Animals, Justice, and the Politics of Violence: Shared Struggles in Turkey (Palgrave Macmillan, 2025) by Dr. Sezai Ozan Zeybek explores the intricate relationship between humans and animals in the context of modern Turkish history. From drafted animals in war, to urban stray dogs and the role of cattle in the Kurdish conflict, the cases developed in this book show how animal lives are deeply entangled with human affairs, including complex social organisations such as families, states and nations. In doing so, the book exposes power dynamics, exploitative practices, and the discursive regimes that underpin development, nationalism, and urban growth. This book offers a timely exploration of human-animal relations, critically revising a number of concepts such as human rights, productivity, health and efficiency from a multispecies perspective. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.
