Happy Monday! Rory and Baby D were OUTSIDE this weekend, hitting the Kehlani show in Brooklyn, then the Austin Millz show in Manhattan, while Mal was outside on the bike. Pharrell calls T-Pain to tell him that he needs to save R&B, and the guys debate who Pharrell should collaborate with next to save hip hop. The Game drops “The Documentary III”, with features from Drake, Kanye, and more, while also addressing Blacc Sam, Kendrick, and all of TDE. Dr. Dre and Rick Rubin endorse AI usage in music, and DJ Quik gives some pushback. The owner of the 49ers gets caught in an Ohio trailer park attempting to meet a prostitute, and we take a look at lessons learned in sex ed. Taking a break from touring with Kehlani, DIXSON drops by to kick it with us, to discuss writing “Folded”, his experiences working with Beyonce, and songwriters turned artists.

Astronomy Daily · S05E153 · Wednesday 29 July 2026. Four stories from the frontier of space and astronomy, plus a both-hemispheres look at the sky — and news of our brand-new website. In this episode • Betelgeuse is not alone. ESO's VLT/SPHERE has captured the clearest direct image yet of Betelgeuse B, the long-suspected companion to the famous red supergiant — ending a roughly century-long search. Published 28 July 2026 in Astronomy & Astrophysics (Montargès, Boccaletti et al.). The companion is more massive than predicted (≈2–3 solar masses), likely paces Betelgeuse's ~6-year brightness cycle, and may eventually spiral into the supergiant. • Swift catches a wandering black hole. TDE 2025abcr — the most off-centre tidal disruption event ever seen — reveals a ~1-million-solar-mass “wandering” black hole ~30,000 light-years from its galaxy's core, ~750 million light-years away. First flagged by the Zwicky Transient Facility (Nov 2025) and pinned down with NASA's Swift; an AI sifted ~500,000 nightly flashes to find it. Published 27 July 2026 in The Astrophysical Journal Letters (Stein et al.; Carney et al.). • Roman is fuelled for launch. NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope completed fuelling on 25 July (≈290 gallons of hydrazine) and holds its mission-preview briefing today — one month from a 30 August launch, roughly eight months ahead of schedule. Roman will survey ~50× as much sky as Hubble in five years, probe dark energy, and is expected to find 100,000+ exoplanets via microlensing. • Swift's rescue mission is in trouble. Katalyst's LINK servicing spacecraft — launched 3 July to boost the decaying Swift observatory — began spinning over the weekend; two of three reaction wheels are non-operable, with some cold-gas thruster degradation. LINK remains powered and in contact; the team is using its electric (xenon) thrusters to arrest the spin before deciding, with NASA, whether to proceed. Developing story — details accurate as of recording. • Skywatch. Full Buck Moon tonight (29 July); Jupiter at solar conjunction; Southern Delta Aquariids favour the Southern Hemisphere but are washed out by the Moon this year; Alpha Capricornid fireballs are the pick for both hemispheres; the Perseids peak on the moonless night of 12–13 August alongside a total solar eclipse (Greenland/Iceland/Spain; partial for parts of Europe and North America). Never view the partial phases without ISO 12312-2 eclipse glasses.

This episode is the conversation I've been needing to have for two years. I sat down with Tasha and Brandon, my TDE co-coaches who handle the nervous system + mindset side of the program, and we got into the real reason coaches with great strategy still aren't implementing. We talked about why "powering through" is the most expensive habit you've never named, why the fear of being judged sends grown adults back to age 12, the difference between the vague mindset bandaid most programs hand you and the actual work that gets you posting again, and the specific reason your business isn't broken even though it feels like it is. If you've ever sat down to write a caption, written it 4 different ways, deleted it, and gone to bed annoyed, this episode is for you. WHERE TO FIND TASHA + BRANDON: Want their nervous system + mindset support as you scale your business?

"I was freshly postpartum with a new baby. I wasn't even in my business anymore. Everything was just chaos and I was riding on vibes." I am so excited to feature one of my favorite TDE grads on the podcast today. Sarah Salain spent two years with stagnant content before joining my program. Today she's filling high-ticket group programs in a deeply sensitive niche—infertility—on part-time hours as a stay-at-home mom. In this episode, I'm sitting down with Sarah to break down the exact shift that changed everything for her: claiming her niche instead of staying broad, leaning into her own story, and trusting the process even when her launch hit a family emergency mid-way through. → Apply for TDE: https://meganyelaney.com/tde → Say hi to Meg on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meganyelaney/ → Say hi to Sarah on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/simplysarahhealing/ → Get the full show notes (with all the links) here: https://meganyelaney.com/2026/06/24/tde-client-success-story-sarah
"There is nobody else out there putting out content like mine." I got to sit down in-person with one of my favorite TDE grads, Stacey Eddings—a New York City assistant principal who came into my world wanting to do health coaching and left knowing she was meant to serve a very different niche. In this episode Stacey and I are breaking down the messy, non-linear journey of finding your edge—growing from 222 followers to 22,000 on Instagram, how she made $10K from a low ticket offer, and strangers in Connecticut talking about her at dinner.

"How tf do you manage all of us?" That question came out of a mastermind call and it inspired this entire podcast episode! In a nutshell: I have 3 main things. They allow me to serve clients well AND be a whole person—and mom, and wife, and daughter, and friend, and all the things. To give you some context, I have 39 clients right now—15 in TDE, 13 in the TDE continuation, 9 in the mastermind, and 2 one-on-one clients. Now I've had way more than 39 clients at once in the past! But a lot of them were in programs that I had at the time that were not as hands-on. The way things are right now, my offers are high-ticket and high-touch. And I'm bringing you behind-the-scenes to show you exactly how I do it—and you can, too! Do not neglect your business just because you are so deep in serving clients. It will bite you in the butt! I promise you can do both! I do both and I know you can do both, too. Share any follow-up questions you have with me—send me a DM on Instagram.

[THE DISTINCTIVE EDGE CLIENT CASE STUDY] What does it look like to move from "I'll join next year" to a full-body gut yes—and then watch your business immediately start to click? In this case study-style episode, I sit down with Deb Driscoll, founder of The Be Her Collective, whose North Star is "reminding women just how frickin' magical they are." Deb supports women to reclaim their intuitive wisdom, remember who they are, and step into heroine status—and reminded us all that intuition + strategy is a lethal combo when you finally give yourself permission to be fully seen. Deb shares the honest behind-the-scenes of what it felt like to invest (hello, excitement + nausea), how old scarcity stories almost kept her out, and why she decided TDE would be the "pathway, full stop." Then we get into what actually changed: the framework, the messaging clarity, and the (surprise!) sales support Deb didn't realize she needed—especially the power of private invites to enroll clients without a big launch. If you've ever felt like your work feels "too intangible" to explain clearly… or you're tired of spinning in circles trying five different strategies at once… this one will hit. In this episode, we cover: Why Deb joined The Distinctive Edge (TDE) and what made it feel like "the risk that has reward" The difference between a true "not now" and a scarcity-based "no" How Deb stopped the "I know so much" expert spiral by becoming a beginner again (TDE school energy) The real key to making a "vague" or intuitive transformation feel tangible and clear in your messaging Why your signature framework can become your one message, one mission across offers What made the material reviews so powerful (and why "knowing the why" matters) How Deb used private invites to start 2026 with clients already enrolled (without a traditional launch) The underrated ROI: community, connection, and not building your business alone Quotes you'll remember "This feels risky, but this is the risk that has reward." "I unsubscribed to so many people… I'm listening to myself, and I'm listening to Meg." "I start 2026 not just as a business owner. I'm a woman on a mission."
