You know that feeling when you try so hard to seem normal that you become a weirdo? Self-improvement works the exact same way. The more you chase happiness, the further it runs. The more validation you seek, the emptier you feel. This episode breaks down 7 painful paradoxes when we take on personal growth — psychological traps where trying harder makes things worse. We dig into King George VI's stutter, Carl Jung's shadow work, and why Steve Jobs getting fired was the best thing that happened to him. You'll learn why over-planning destroys resilience, why self-help books can quietly wreck your confidence, and why real change happens slower, yet more easily, than you think. Takeaways: Stop directly chasing happiness. Let it arrive as a byproduct of living with purpose. Build self-worth internally. External validation is a leaky bucket you can never fill. Accept your flaws before fixing them. Rejection breeds resistance, not change. CTA: Press play and learn why the hardest part of growth is knowing when to stop trying so hard.

What Dogs Teach Us About Love (And How to "People" Better) with Dr. Chris Blazina [caption id="attachment_17241" align="alignleft" width="300"] Good Dogs & Difficult People: What Dogs Teach Us About Love[/caption] Why is it that we can purely love our dogs but often struggle to show that same grace to other humans? In this deeply insightful episode of Pure Dog Talk, host Laura Reeves sits down with psychologist and author Dr. Chris Blazina to discuss his latest book, Good Dogs and Difficult People: What Dogs Teach Us About Love. They explore the psychology behind our canine connections, why Sigmund Freud was a massive "dog person," and how the stress we carry travels straight "down the leash" to our canine companions. From scientific phenomena like the Left Gaze Bias to actionable advice on how to "people better," this episode is a guide to letting your guard down, repairing relationships, and allowing dogs to "love us into being." [video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://puredogtalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Why-Is-It-We-Dont-Love-People-the-Way-We-Love-Our-Dogs_.mp4"][/video]

What does “teach us to number our days” really mean?In today's Psalms Bible study, we have left the dark valley of Psalms Book 3 behind with its ruined sanctuary and promises that feel broken. In Book 4, Psalms 90-99 take us down the wilderness road, reminding us that God has always been our true home, long before any building existed. In this episode, we explore what it actually means to count our limited time on earth so we can live with real intention. As we trace the oldest song in the Bible back to Moses, we see how God holds us even when our entire world feels displaced.In our Psalms 90-99 Bible study, we cover:[8:36] Numbering Our Days: Why Moses asks God to teach us to weigh the worth of our fleeting moments so we can gain true wisdom.[13:29] The Noonday Demon: How ancient desert monks fought midday spiritual apathy (acedia) and why modern screen time leaves us vulnerable to the exact same attack.[15:28] Twisted Scripture: Why Satan intentionally omitted "in all your ways" when quoting Psalm 91 to Jesus, and how Jesus shut down the distortion.[24:38] The Lord Reigns: How the "enthronement psalms" pull our attention from failed human kings to an unshakable God who rules over all creation.[32:00] Joy to the World: Why Isaac Watts originally wrote his famous song "Joy to the World" about the Second Coming.Psalms Show NotesPsalms RoadmapPsalms Prayer ListPsalms Playlist on Apple MusicPsalms Playlist on SpotifyPhil Wickham - Psalm 8 (Hallé) [Official Music Video]ACTS Prayer GuideScene from The ChosenGroup Discussion Questions for Psalms 90-99[9:21] Moses prayed, "Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." If you counted today as one of a limited number of days, what would you do differently?[14:23] In our modern times, the “noonday demon” comes at us not through desert heat but through electronics that pull us away from rest, leaving us tired and vulnerable to spiritual attack. What's one way you can fight the mindless scroll to protect yourself from the dangers of spiritual apathy?[16:04] Satan twisted God's promise of protection in Psalm 91 into an excuse to recklessly test God.

What if the goal of great leadership isn't to eliminate friction, but to learn from it? In this episode of LeaderChat, Maggie Sass, PhD, and Ross Blankenship, PhD, authors of Friction: How Tension, Emotion, and Change Reveal Better Leaders, join us to discuss what tension can reveal about leaders, teams, and the systems in which they work. You'll hear about: The three places friction shows up: within ourselves, between people, and within systems How leaders can help teams navigate tension without simply smoothing it over Why emotions can provide useful information during uncertainty The difference between unhealthy conflict and productive tension What can happen when a team becomes too frictionless How to recognize when the system, not the individual, is creating the problem Practical ways to respond more intentionally the next time friction shows up If you're navigating change, uncertainty, or tension on your team, this episode offers a different way to look at those difficult moments—and what they might be trying to tell you.

When Jesse Itzler was broke and sleeping on a friend's couch, he couldn't afford an office. So he made the Beverly Hills Hotel his office - for the price of an $18 salad and four hours of iced tea refills. He sat, watched, listened, and showed up until the right people noticed him. The rest is history. In this Shop Talk, Bill and Alex take that story and flip it toward service. Because most people who want to help their community are waiting for an invitation that's never coming. The tough neighborhoods, the kids who need mentors, the opportunities to make a real difference - they're already out there. You just have to get in the room. This one is worth sending to someone who keeps saying they want to help but doesn't know where to start. ARMY ACTIONS Subscribe to the podcast and rate & review us!

For over 30 years, the National Weight Control Registry has tracked more than 10,000 people who've lost significant weight and — the hard part — kept it off. In this episode, we break down what the data actually shows these successful maintainers have in common, and why those lessons carry extra weight (pun intended) for women navigating perimenopause and menopause, when hormonal shifts make muscle loss and fat gain more likely. No fad-diet promises — just what the research says works over the long haul.
When the world shut down during the COVID-19 pandemic, Dan Shapiro was simply looking for something meaningful to do with his son.

Together, Tania and Dan explore why meaningful struggle is essential for healthy development, how chess strengthens executive functioning and emotional regulation, and what every parent can learn from a simple game played across a checkered board.In this episode, you'll learn:How one family's pandemic chess journey became a lesson in resilience, confidence, and connection.Why chess develops much more than strategic thinking.The fascinating history of chess and why it has captivated brilliant minds for centuries.How children build executive functioning through planning, pattern recognition, and decision-making.Why mistakes, setbacks, and losing are essential ingredients for growth.How parents can foster curiosity, perseverance, and a love of learning without creating pressure to perform.Why the greatest lessons children learn through chess have very little to do with winning.Whether your child is already a chess enthusiast or has never played a single game, this conversation will inspire you to think differently about challenge, mastery, and the hidden moments that shape a child's developing mind. Dan Shapiro is an author, entrepreneur, and lifelong student of learning and human potential.

Alan Smith, a member of the advisory board for the cause of soon-to-be Blessed Fulton J. Sheen, joins the Son Rise Morning Show to continue exploring Sheen's reflections on the Holy Hour. Drawing from Lord, Teach Us to Pray and the writings of St. Peter Julian Eymard, Smith reflects on Sheen's meditation on the Eucharist as “the Need of Our Heart.” The discussion centers on three powerful themes: Christ's presence, His generosity, and our union with Him. The Eucharist is not merely a reminder of Jesus or a gift that He gives us—it is Jesus Himself, waiting for us in the tabernacle and offering us His merits, His grace, and ultimately His very self. Smith and the Son Rise Morning Show also explore how Eucharistic devotion transforms us into disciples: we become what we adore. Through time spent with Christ in Eucharistic prayer and Holy Hours, we are gradually drawn into deeper union with Him and formed to become more like Him.Support the show: https://www.sacredheartradio.com/donate-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach explores what the popularity of Hallmark movies reveals about our culture's longing for faithful love, commitment, and simplicity in relationships. He connects that desire to the biblical picture of steadfast, covenantal love found in Scripture, particularly in Song of Solomon. Ultimately, our deepest longing for love isn't fulfilled by a spouse or a romantic relationship, but by the steadfast love of God.Have an article you'd like Pastor Zach to discuss?

They also discuss the possibility of dying at home, the role of hospice and modern medicine, and why embracing the bodily realities and rituals surrounding death can help families rediscover the beauty and meaning of life.Support the show: https://www.sacredheartradio.com/donate-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this episode of the Phelan-McDermid Syndrome Podcast: Sharing Research, Progress, and Hope, Dr. Lauren talks with Dr. Michael Long of NYU Langone, a neuroscientist studying the brain circuits that make vocal communication possible.This episode is a fascinating look at an unconventional approach to one of the Phelan-McDermid syndrome community's highest research priorities: communication and language.Dr. Long shares how his research has taken him from songbirds and human speech to an unusual animal with remarkable conversational abilities: the singing mouse. Unlike standard laboratory mice, singing mice engage in precisely timed, back-and-forth vocal exchanges, much like humans! After collaborating with Dr. Ben Scott (featured on "A Cross-Species Approach to Advancing Research in Phelan-McDermid Syndrome with Dr. Ben Scott and Amanda Fath"), Dr. Long has been working to develop a SHANK3 knockdown singing mouse. This will allow researchers to better understand the underlying brain circuitry involved in communication and how disruption to SHANK3 alters this.The conversation also explores why communication encompasses much more than spoken words, the importance of including minimally verbal and non-speaking individuals in research, and how "backward translation" (taking observations from individuals with Phelan-McDermid syndrome back into the laboratory) can help scientists ask better questions and develop more meaningful models.If you are interested in being involved with Drs. Scott and Long's study, check out the GEODE (Gathering Evidence for Optimizing Decisions) Study on our Open Studies page or contact: geode.online.experiment@gmail.com.

Watching a loved one with Alzheimer's or dementia slowly lose their cognitive abilities can be heartbreaking. While the person you once knew seems to be slipping away, sometimes people with Alzheimer's briefly seem like their old selves again. They may remember a long-forgotten name or suddenly regain the ability to have a fluid conversation. What do these moments of lucidity really mean for the progression of the disease? And what implications do they have for those living with the disease, and their caretakers? Alzheimer's researcher Andrea Gilmore-Bykovskyi talks to Ira about these questions and more. Guest: Dr. Andrea Gilmore-Bykovskyi is an associate professor of emergency medicine, and co-director of the Lucidity in Alzheimer's and Dementia (LEAD) Network at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Welcome to Day 2929 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2929– “Lord, Teach Us to Pray” – Luke 11:1-13 Putnam Church Message – 08/09/2026 The Good News According to Luke: “Lord, Teach Us To Pray.” Last week, our message was “Exchanging What's Good for What's Best,” and we learned that when good things begin to crowd out the best thing, have the courage to exchange what is good for what is best. Today, we continue with our thirty-third message from Luke's narrative of the Good News of Jesus Christ. Today's message is: “Lord, Teach Us To Pray.” Our core passage today is Luke 11:1-13, on page 1614 of your pew Bibles. Jesus' Teaching on Prayer 1 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.” 2 He said to them, “When you pray, say: “‘Father,[a] hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.[b] 3 Give us each day our daily bread. 4 Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.[c] And lead us not into temptation.[d]'” 5 Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; 6 a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.' 7 And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Don't bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can't get up and give you anything.' 8 I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity[e] he will surely get up and give you as much as you need. 9 “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. 11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for[f] a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” Opening Prayer Father, we come before You today as children who need to learn. We confess that we often pray last instead of first. We try to assemble life by our own wisdom, strength, and effort, and only when we have made a mess do we turn to You. Lord Jesus, teach us to pray. Teach us not only the words of prayer, but the heart of prayer. Teach us to come to the Father with reverence, trust, humility, boldness, and surrender. Holy Spirit, open our hearts to receive Your Word, and make prayer not a last resort, but the daily breath of our souls. In Jesus' name, amen. Introduction: When All Else Fails, Read the Instructions There is an old saying many of us know well: “When all else fails, read the instructions.” Some of us live by that saying a little too confidently. We look at a box marked “Some Assembly Required,” and instead of beginning with the instruction sheet, we dump the parts on the floor, glance at the picture on the box, and say, “I can figure this out.” And sometimes we can. / But every now and then, we get humbled. Imagine Christmas Eve. The children are asleep. A hidden box is dragged from the closet. The parts are laid out with great confidence. Screws, bolts, panels, wheels, rods, brackets — all carefully arranged. The project begins smoothly. But somewhere around midnight, the finished product starts looking less like the picture on the box and more like an abstract sculpture. Finally, with dawn approaching, the builder digs the instructions out of the trash. At the top of the page, in small print, some sarcastic soul has written, “Now that you have made a mess of things, please start over and follow these instructions.” That is funny because it is true. And it is often how we approach prayer. We say, “When all else fails, pray.” But Jesus did not live that way. Jesus did not pray only when He was desperate. / He prayed before major decisions. / He prayed after ministry. / He prayed in solitude. / He prayed with others. / He prayed when crowds pressed in. / He prayed in joy. / He prayed in anguish. / He prayed before the cross. Luke has emphasized this repeatedly. / Jesus withdrew to lonely places to pray. / He prayed before choosing the Twelve. / He prayed on the mountain before the Transfiguration. / He prayed as His mission moved toward Jerusalem. / Prayer was not a spare tire in Jesus' life. / Prayer was the steering wheel. Last week, in “Exchanging What's Good for What's Best,” we saw Mary sitting at Jesus' feet while Martha was worried and upset about many things. Mary chose the one necessary thing — listening to Jesus. Now, in Luke 11, the disciples watch Jesus pray, and they realize they need instruction. They do not say, “Lord, teach us to preach.” They do not say, “Lord, teach us to heal.” They do not say, “Lord, teach us to cast out demons.” They say, “Lord, teach us to pray.” That request is still one of the most important requests any disciple can make. Let's explore four truths that will help us to understand why this one question is so important. These are found on your bulletin insert on the side that is titled: Lord, Teach us to Pray. Main Point 1: Prayer Begins With Relationship and Reverence Jesus begins the model prayer with one word: “Father.” / That is astonishing. Jesus does not begin with “Distant Creator,” though God is Creator. He does not begin with “Almighty King,” though God is King. He does not begin with “Sovereign Master,” though God is Lord. He teaches His disciples to begin with “Father.” In Greek, the word is pater. In Aramaic, Jesus used the intimate word Abba, which we see in Mark 14 when He prays in Gethsemane. Paul later says in Romans 8 and Galatians 4 that by the Spirit, believers cry, “Abba, Father.” This means prayer begins not with technique, but with relationship. We do not come to God as strangers trying to get the attention of a reluctant deity. We come as children to a Father who already knows us, loves us, and welcomes us. But Jesus also teaches reverence. “May your name be kept holy.” (Hallowed be your name.) God is Father, but He is not casual. / He is near, but not common. / He is loving, but

Travis is joined in the studio by his producer, Eric, for a candid breakdown of the highest-paid podcasters of 2026. Together, they look beyond celebrity and download counts to unpack why niche audiences, high-value listeners, strong sponsorships, and strategic ownership can make a podcast extraordinarily valuable—even when the show is relatively small. On this episode we talk about: The highest-paid podcasts and creators of 2026, from Joe Rogan and Crime Junkie to The Diary of a CEO and SmartLess Why a small, highly influential audience can be more valuable than a massive general audience TBPN's reported acquisition by OpenAI and what it suggests about podcast ownership, audience capture, and media influence The difference between celebrity-driven shows and podcasts built around niche expertise Why podcasting is rarely the fastest route to revenue—and how it can still open doors to bigger opportunities Top 3 Takeaways Build for audience quality, not just download volume. A focused show that reaches decision-makers can command premium sponsorships and create outsized strategic value. Treat podcast revenue as one part of a larger business. Sponsorships, live events, distribution deals, brand partnerships, and the opportunities created by the show can matter as much as ads. Start a podcast because it supports a long-term mission or business, not because it seems like quick money. Most podcasts do not generate meaningful profit, but a consistent show can build relationships, authority, and access over time. Notable Quotes "Because it was such a niche space with such a high-value audience, they were closing these seven-figure sponsorship deals." "A podcast in and of itself is not the easiest path... if you want to make more money." "I'm much more curious about what it can do for you in terms of opening doors that allows you to make more money."

Nearly 20 years ago, Seattle lost its NBA team, the Supersonics. A combination of new ownership without local ties, an outdated arena and political decision-making saw the Sonics leave after 41 years in Seattle. Sounds familiar doesn’t it? Amidst the disagreements between Portland city officials and Blazers management, Seattle Times reporter Tim Booth joins us to discuss what led the Supersonics to relocate from Seattle, and how that relates to the issues Portland currently faces with the Blazers.
In this episode of Teach Us to Pray, Brian sits down with Jon Shirley to explore a life shaped by prayer from early encounters that awakened a hunger for God to learning how to build communities that begin with waiting on him.Together, they talk about the challenge of prayer in a culture of constant noise and distraction, the need to recover our capacity to sit in silence, and what it means to find refuge in God when our souls feel overwhelmed. Jon also shares why prayer is something we often begin with and then unintentionally replace with activity and why the invitation is always to return.

What can we learn from trees? Robert Moor thinks that the path to a well-lived life lies in trying our best to live like a tree. Branch out, prune what doesn't work, and make use of the spots where we've been injured or broken. Robert talks to Chris about his decade-long project to write a book about the wisdom of trees, which took him from a thousand year old bonsai in Tokyo to a tree-climbing teacher in England and living in the canopy of an old growth forest in Canada to try and prevent its logging. This is an adventurous, far-ranging episode about what it means to be a human and why the answer to that question might just lie in the top branches of the nearest tree.Featured guestFollow Robert Moor on Instagram, X, Bluesky and at robertmoor.com/Buy In Trees: An ExplorationConnect with the teamFollow Chris on Instagram and at chrisduffycomedy.comBuy Chris' book, Humor Me Watch How to Be a Better Human videos on YouTube at TEDPodsFollow TED on X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TikTokFor the full text transcript, visit go.ted.com/BHTranscriptsFill out our survey at bit.ly/BHSurvey6 Hosted on Acast.

Everyone's feed said "kinda chic" this summer — Drew Barrymore's was, Reese Witherspoon's was, Priyanka Chopra's was too. In this solo episode, Erin traces the "kinda chic" trend from its quiet April 2026 origins on Instagram to its full celebrity-mainstream moment in August, unpacks why a three-word phrase gave so many women an "exhale" they didn't know they needed, and pulls the practice apart into two distinct emotional moves — savoring and guilt-neutralizing — that listeners can use whether or not they ever post a word of it. Part trend breakdown, part values practice: media observation and permission slip in one. What Is the "Kinda Chic" Trend? The "kinda chic" trend is a 2026 Instagram and TikTok format where people caption a photo or moment with "kinda chic to..." or "feels kind of chic to...," followed by something that doesn't fit the traditional, expensive definition of chic — a curvy body, an unglamorous home, an unfashionable habit, an ordinary routine. Instead of chic-as-exclusivity, the trend redefines chic as self-acceptance: whatever quietly makes you feel like yourself, said out loud, on purpose. Where Did "Kinda Chic" Start? The earliest post Erin traced is from April 2026, by Australian body-positivity influencer Maria Begins, who posted lines like "kinda chic being a curvy woman and actually liking it" and "kinda chic growing a human, giving birth, and wearing the aftermath like couture." The trend spread through May and June around body image, then expanded into money and even politics by July, picking up some backlash along the way for creators stretching the format past its original spirit. By August, it was fully mainstream: Drew Barrymore's carousel ("kinda chic to be in your fifties," "kinda chic to take your dog with you everywhere you go") hit six figures in likes within days. Reese Witherspoon followed with her own list ("kinda chic to be underestimated," "kinda chic to cheer on other women," "kinda chic to start a book club"). Priyanka Chopra posted an extensive list of her own — including "kinda chic to meet your husband at the Met Gala" — with a caption that closed the loop entirely: "kinda chic to hate this trend." Erin traces the deeper roots even further back — to a May 2025 TikTok moment where creator Tara Colleen posted a gatekeeping "things I find incredibly unchic" list, judging other women's style choices. The backlash to that video — essentially, "who gets to decide what's chic?" — simmered for the better part of a year before resurfacing as the "kinda chic" carousel format by April 2026. All told, roughly an 11-to-12-month cultural cycle from gatekeeping to reclamation. Why Did the Trend Get So Popular? The format works because it offers relief, not information. A private, often shame-adjacent thought gets relabeled as a deliberate, aspirational choice instead of a failing — and the comment section does the rest, with strangers confirming "same" or "you're allowed," turning a private admission into public permission. Content strategist Rachel Holt, whose breakdown of the format Erin references in this episode, describes the trend's core mechanic simply: it takes something you quietly feel bad about and turns it into a choice. Is the Trend Already Over? By August 2026, the format had turned recursive — Priyanka Chopra's own caption joking "kinda chic to hate this trend" is, in Erin's words, the moment "the snake has captured its own tail." Self-parody at that scale is usually a late-stage signal, and Erin notes her own feed already feels "more kind of than chic." Key Ideas From This Episode Chic has always required an observer. Historically bestowed by wealth, taste, or proximity to the right rooms — the trend didn't remove the gatekeeper, it just moved permission from a small cultural elite to the algorithm. Two distinct moves live inside the same three words. Savoring (noticing something already good — Erin's daily dog walk) and guilt-neutralizing (relabeling something that already feels bad, on purpose — Erin's "too-small house") are not the same practice, even when they sound identical in a caption. Nothing stays outside the market for long. Even the trend's most organic-feeling origin point — a body-positivity post — sits inside an industry that's been heavily monetized for years. This episode's takeaway skill: when a private value-practice turns into public content, notice whether you're still doing it for you. The real experiment: collapse the audience to one. Can you grant yourself the same exhale a comment section gives you, without needing it confirmed by anyone else? Erin's challenge to listeners — post or don't, but learn to hand yourself the permission slip either way. Resources & Links Mentioned Maria Begins — early "kinda chic" post, April 2026 Drew Barrymore's "kinda chic" carousel Reese Witherspoon's "kinda chic" post Priyanka Chopra's "kinda chic" post Betches: "The Unchic TikTok Debate" — the 2025 Tara Colleen backlash Know Your Meme: Kinda Chic Trend entry Frequently Asked Questions What does "kinda chic" mean on social media? It's a caption format used to reframe something ordinary, vulnerable, or non-traditional as a deliberate, aspirational choice — e.g., "kinda chic to live a slower life." Who started the "kinda chic" trend? The earliest known post traces to Australian body-positivity influencer Maria Begins in April 2026, though the underlying idea — that "chic" can be self-defined rather than culturally dictated — traces back to a 2025 backlash against a TikTok creator's gatekeeping "unchic" list. Which celebrities have done the "kinda chic" trend? Drew Barrymore, Reese Witherspoon, and Priyanka Chopra have all posted "kinda chic" content on Instagram, helping push the format from a niche body-positivity trend into the mainstream by August 2026. Is "kinda chic" the same as "quiet luxury"? No, though the two rhyme structurally as aesthetic cycles. Both trends promised freedom from a standard — quiet luxury from visible status performance, "kinda chic" from traditional, exclusionary definitions of chic — and both, in their own way, became new standards. How can I practice "kinda chic" without posting on social media? The episode outlines two levels: savoring (noticing something already good in your life without needing it witnessed) and guilt-neutralizing (relabeling something you quietly feel bad about as a deliberate choice instead of a failing) — both done privately, without needing external confirmation.

Nikki Goldstein was in a coma in the ICU at St Vincent's Hospital when she first 'met' Rabbi Eli Schlanger. When she woke, the pair embarked together on a project to share the wisdom, compassion and universality of several Jewish teachings.Although they were from very different worlds, when Nikki gained consciousness and met Rabbi Eli properly the two became fast friends.Then, they started writing a book together - based on the deep and expansive conversations they began having about hope, personal growth, spirituality and modern life.Rabbi Eli wanted Nikki's help to share seven ancient Jewish guidelines on living a good life, which he believed could be helpful to anyone, Jewish or not, who was looking for a way to live in a world that feels increasingly chaotic.While Nikki and Rabbi Eli didn't agree on everything all the time, they did both believe these teachings to be universal in their compassion and wisdom.The pair had just recorded their last conversation for the project in December last year, when Rabbi Eli was one of 15 people killed in the Bondi Beach terror attack.Nikki decided to honour his memory by finishing their book alone.Conversations with My Rabbi is published by HarperCollins.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris. Executive producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores religion, faith, modern living, disconnection, hope, radical empathy, togetherness, multiculturalism, learning from others, spiritual, family, near-death experiences, autoimmune disease, anti-Semitism, terrorism, grief, tragedy, suffering, meaning of life, spiritual teachings, friendship, prayer, meditation, Judaism, secularism.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

We would love to hear from you!!! Tiny hummingbirds, signs from heaven, and the power of surrender—this episode reveals how God's subtle messages and design can carry us through life's heaviest moments. When loss, anxiety, and grief threaten to drown you, discovering the miraculous in everyday moments can be a lifeline. Listen as hosts Angie and Aric share personal stories that remind us: we're stronger than we think, guided by a presence that never leaves us alone.In this honest, flowy conversation, you'll learn how a sign from Hallie at her half birthday, a hummingbird crossing the ocean, or a simple message about masks can unlock divine comfort during the darkest times. Angie reflects on how tiny creatures like hummingbirds showcase God's incredible design—flying over two thousand miles with instinct and strength, just enough for their journey—and how that's exactly how we're built too. You'll discover the importance of shedding masks, sharing your real story, and trusting that God's timing and signs are always for our good.We break down: the significance of divine signs and how they offer peace and reassurance, practical ways to embrace vulnerability and authenticity in grief, and the reminder that our strength comes from surrender—not control. Without knowing it, many of us are carrying invisible burdens—masks hiding our true feelings—and this episode encourages you to let them go, even if just for a moment, to find hope and connection.Why does all this matter?

Long before TikTok dances, there was the Dougie. In 2010, Cali Swag District's “Teach Me How to Dougie” went worldwide, and for the decade-plus since, people have been trying to learn the viral moves. More than 15 years later, a Korean TikTok creator went viral for doing the Dougie… badly.
