In Episode 260, Christine Tulley, President and Executive Writing Coach at Defend, Publish & Lead, emphasizes the importance of celebrating writing wins as the holiday season approaches, arguing that CVs often function more as stress-inducing evaluation documents than celebratory records of accomplishments.  She demonstrates her approach using Penzu (a free digital writing journal that she loves but is not a sponsor), walking through how she reviews her Fall 2025 Semester Writing Project Mix to assess what she actually completed—discovering she finished 3 out of 4 planned projects, including two chapters of her sabbatical book and presentation slides, while her "yucky writing project" remained incomplete. She highlights unexpected wins like her Inside Higher Ed article on who owns faculty writing (co-written with Jennifer Ahern-Dodson) that she had forgotten about from her Summer 2025 plans, reframes the 3 out of 4 completion rate as a success focused on movement and completion rather than perfection, and encourages listeners to celebrate broader wins beyond publications (such as consistently hitting 8 hours of writing per week) while using this reflection to inform planning for 2026.  She concludes by mentioning her coaching services and the resources available through podcast sponsor Textbook and Academic Authors Association.

We kick off 2026 by getting our feet on the ground with a powerhouse Capricorn lineup, then rocket into an Aquarian surge that rewards bold ideas, smart networks, and future-first thinking. From late January into mid-February, Venus, the Sun, Mercury, and Mars flood Aquarius while Uranus turns direct, opening a corridor for collaboration, tech leaps, and community-driven experiments. Then comes the twist: an Aquarius new moon colliding with a solar eclipse on February 17, plus Mercury retrograde in Pisces starting February 26. Translation: release and recalibrate rather than launch; guard your bandwidth and refine the message behind the mission.We dig into the macro shifts shaping the tone of the year: Neptune leaves Pisces for Aries, Saturn follows into Aries on February 13, and Jupiter stations direct on March 11. Expect a cultural mood swing from foggy to fiery, from passive to proactive. We map the safest windows to move, invest, travel, or pause, and we explain why the back half of January and the Spring Equinox window are your cleanest green lights. March adds depth and stakes with Mars entering Pisces and a Virgo full moon lunar eclipse on March 3 that spotlights health, systems, and the practical side of healing. By March 20, Mercury turns direct and the Sun charges into Aries, cueing an all-planets-direct runway into early May.You'll also get clear, concise guidance for every zodiac sign, from Aries breakthroughs and Aquarius lift-offs to Virgo resets and Pisces spiritual upgrades. If you've been waiting for permission to try something different, the cosmos offers both courage and caution: build the framework, gather the right people, then move with heart and precision when the lights go green. Press play to plan Q1 2026 with confidence, avoid the eclipse traps, and time your next big move with cosmic precision.Summary of January-March 2026 Astrology• Capricorn cluster front-loads planning and money mindset• Aquarian wave mid-late January fuels collaboration and launches• Solar eclipse on 17 February signals release, not initiation• Mercury retrograde in Pisces from 26 February to 20 March• Virgo lunar eclipse on 3 March highlights health and systems• Jupiter direct on 11 March restores optimism and growth• Spring Equinox and Mercury direct mark go-time• Sign-by-sign forecasts for Q1 2026 If this was helpful, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review—it helps more seekers find their timing.Support the show

We move from years of dense earth-and-water drag into the fast lanes of air and fire, where ideas travel farther, tech and transit evolve, and courage becomes a daily practice. With Pluto settling into Aquarius, Neptune and Saturn igniting Aries, and Uranus blasting into Gemini, the first half of the year accelerates timelines and demands clear choices.We walk through the big arcs and the exact dates that matter. January offers a final Capricorn cleanout before an Aquarian influx invites upgrades, collaboration, and bold thinking. February is the crucible: a Leo full moon, an Aquarius new moon solar eclipse, Uranus stationing direct, and Saturn entering Aries—all while Mercury readies a retrograde. The message is not panic, but preparation. Build buffers, double-check logistics, and use grounded rituals to steady your nervous system.March reframes the narrative. A total lunar eclipse across Virgo-Pisces highlights health, healing, and policy, then Jupiter turns direct in Cancer to buoy homes, families, and real estate. The vernal equinox lands as Mercury goes direct, opening a rare all-planets-forward launch window for decisive moves. April restores balance with a Libra full moon and an Aries new moon, then changes gear as Uranus enters Gemini, kicking off seven years of disruption in communication, travel, education, and media. May amplifies the money axis with a powerful Scorpio full moon and Pluto stationing retrograde, revealing what's been concealed in markets and shared resources. Late May's blue moon across Gemini-Sagittarius broadcasts global signals worth heeding.June keeps powder dry until the finale: a Gemini new moon sets ideas in motion, then a Capricorn full moon arrives the same day Mercury turns retrograde and Mars enters Gemini. Travel and tech are spicy—plan with care. The payoff comes quickly as Jupiter strides into Leo, lighting creativity, performance, and generous leadership. Across it all, we emphasize practical strategy: when to launch, when to review, and how to translate cosmic acceleration into sustainable progress.

In Episode 259, Christine Tulley, President and Executive Writing Coach of Defend Publish & Lead, addresses the common question of when to start writing after the holiday break, emphasizing the importance of making this decision ahead of time rather than letting it remain nebulous as the calendar year flips. She shares her personal approach of designating January 5th as her first official day back to writing (separate from her first day of class), blocking out specific time slots in her calendar (9:00-11:30 AM on January 5th, 6th, and 7th for a total of seven and a half hours that week), and color-coding this time as brown to protect it from competing demands. She recommends preparing for this first writing day by treating it like the first day of school—cleaning out your laptop bag, restocking essential supplies like hard drive connector cords and extra headphones, gathering any articles you'll need, and perhaps choosing a favorite coffee shop instead of the library. Christine emphasizes that setting up special elements for your first writing session can infuse it with new energy, mentions her holiday playlist of writing episodes, and concludes by offering a free Textbook and Academic Authors Association membership giveaway to the first person who emails her at christine@defendpublishlead.com along with her coaching practice's ongoing holiday pricing special.

Melissa Galliani and Dan Berger. Dan Berger takes some time to explain Gamay Beaujolais today on California Wine Country with Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell. Later in the show, Barry Herbst from Bottle Barn will be in, to talk about sparkling wines they have in the store for the holidays. That portion of the show has its own podcast episode, right here. Dan has brought a Beaujolais from 2023 from a California winemaker who moved to France. He got tired of trying to make European style wines in California. Johnathan Pey made Pinot Noir in Marin County and made a Cabernet in Napa called Textbook. He decided to make a break from California and move to France. This wine is his French production, Domaine Johnathan Pey. Beaujolais ain’t no “Boo-jo-lay” Johnathan Pey bought two cru vineyards in Beaujolais. Gamay Noir au jus blanc is the full French name of the grape. Beaujolais is generally an unpretentions wine, easy to drink and not expensive. Pey wanted to apply modern winemaking techniques to grapes from the old plantation. He bought the vineyard about five or six years ago and has been tending the vines personally. Dan says this vintage is starting to show depth and intensity above the average for Beaujolais. 13% alcohol. The color is intense and suggests a highter ABV but that’s not Beaujolais. CWC is brought to you by Deodora Estate Vineyards. Visit Deodora to discover 72 acres in the Petaluma Gap that are producing exceptional Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling. Sip the difference!  Usually, Beaujolais is just to open and drink. But some of the Cru Beaujolais will benefit from a couple of years in the bottle. John found that the other producers in France were young, and he is teaching them California techniques that are ahead of the game. This wine is full of fruit, but also an intensity, a Syrah-like aftertaste. Dan thinks maybe this wine will age in two days once opened. “Way more interesting than a typical Beaujolais.” It doesn’t have any oak, there was no barrel aging.

Then Neptune turns direct at 29° Pisces, lifting fog and tightening your intuitive signal so you can tell the difference between wishful thinking and a real nudge from within.From there, the pace changes in all the right ways. Mercury glides into Sagittarius, sparking bold ideas and the urge to teach, travel, or think bigger about your life. Mars moves into Capricorn and flips the switch from hype to habit, channeling ambition into structure, deadlines, and steady results. The Sagittarius New Moon on December 19 helps you choose your next horizon; the winter solstice on the 21st asks you to commit to it. When Venus joins Capricorn on the 24th, values and money get practical, relationships seek substance, and your priorities settle into a mature, sustainable rhythm.We also look ahead to the larger arc: the close of a long Neptunian chapter, the shift toward air and fire in 2026, and how to position your work, creativity, and wellbeing for the Aquarian wave. To make it personal, we share sign-by-sign guidance with lucky days and tactical moves you can make right now—what to release under the Gemini Full Moon, what to seed under the Sagittarius New Moon, and how to use the Capricorn trifecta to actually build what you see in your mind's eye.We map December 2025 from a lively Sagittarius start to a grounded Capricorn close, highlighting key dates, energetic shifts, and how to turn vision into action.

Christine Tulley, President and Executive Writing Coach, explores the concept of maintaining an "origin story" for academic writing projects in the context of surveillance, power dynamics, and emerging technologies—the theme of the 2025 Big Rhetorical Podcast Carnival. She examines how various stakeholders (universities, publishers, plagiarism detection software, AI tools, and tenure committees) have claims to or surveillance over faculty writing, raising questions about ownership and originality. Tulley offers four practical strategies for documenting the development of writing projects: maintaining dated drafts, using version control systems like GitHub, creating process documentation through blogs or social media, and sharing work-in-progress through conference presentations and public scholarship venues. She emphasizes the importance of tools like ORCID IDs for tracking authorship and highlights the Textbook and Academic Authors Association's upcoming webinar about claiming damages in the lawsuit against Anthropic for unauthorized use of academic work by AI tools, framing documentation of writing origins as both a protective measure and a meaningful way to capture the creative process.

Christine Tulley, President and Executive Writing Coach, shares practical strategies for maximizing conference value while attending the POD (Professional and Organizational Development) conference in San Diego. Rather than focusing on pre-conference planning or post-conference follow-up, this episode addresses the often-overlooked middle phase: what to do once you're actually at the conference. She introduces a goal-setting framework to help academics be intentional about their conference experience, balancing networking, presentations, professional development, and personal priorities within tight time and budget constraints.  Slides Episodes Mentioned: Episode 113: Four Actions to Take Once You Return Home from a Conference Episode 235 - Give Yourself a Conference Maintenance Day Resources Mentioned: POD Network Conference (Professional and Organizational Development in Higher Education) Maintaining Writing Momentum in December (December 1st annual webinar)  Resources: HOLIDAY COACHING HOURS - All hours at lowest prices for the year Tuesday Toolbox - contact christine@defendpublishandlead.com for subscription information Set your writing goals with us!

Hey everyone, welcome to The Smiling Homeschooler Podcast. Todd flies solo this week and he shares an honest look at homeschool basketball season — the joys, the exhaustion, and the commitment to showing up for our kids. He encourages parents not to feel guilty about what they aren't doing, but to celebrate the memories they are making. Todd then dives into the idea of “electives” in homeschooling — and why in a homeschool environment, everything can be an elective! From animation to hair styling to basketball, the things your children love can be just as valuable (or more valuable) than the so-called “core” subjects. As the holidays approach, remember that enjoying the season is school. Holiday crafts, traditions, decorating, and serving together are the real-life lessons your children will carry into adulthood. We want to thank Teaching Textbooks for making The Smiling Homeschooler possible. Their match curriculum helps thousands of homeschoolers smile each and every day, and we would encourage you to check it out for next school year over at teachingtextbooks.com. Also, today's show is being underwritten by Samaritan Ministries, a community of Christians who pay one another's medical bills, helping families take a safe step of faith as they feel God's leading in career or ministry changes, or in bringing moms home.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageA battlefield victory does not guarantee control of the story. We trace how the Confederacy lost the war but captured American memory through textbooks, monuments, and movies, turning slavery into “states' rights,” treason into tragic romance, and Robert E. Lee into a spotless icon. Using the secession documents themselves, we dismantle the core claims of the Lost Cause and show how Reconstruction briefly expanded freedom before a campaign of terror shut it down.We walk through the quiet mechanics of narrative power: Northern leaders prioritized reconciliation over enforcement, Southern school boards formed an effective textbook cartel, and publishers chased the larger market with softened editions. Civic groups and Hollywood sealed the myth, from donated schoolbooks and bronze statues to Birth of a Nation and Gone with the Wind. The result wasn't just bad history—it was policy permission for Jim Crow, a blank space where Black history should have been taught, and a culture that treated armed defiance of federal law as debatable theater.There's a way forward. We point to the three forces that finally cracked the legend—the civil rights movement, an academic insurgency led by historians like James McPherson, Eric Foner, and Gary Gallagher, and mass media that centered slavery rather than sidestepping it. Then we offer concrete steps: read primary sources such as secession ordinances and Alexander Stephens's cornerstone speech, audit local curricula for evidence-based accounts, and update monument plaques to tell the whole truth. If unused power is surrendered power, then the antidote is active, public truth-telling. Key Points from the Episode:• the secession documents centering slavery, not abstract states' rights• early Confederate advantages versus strategic failure myths• Robert E. Lee's record and theology of bondage• Reconstruction's gains and the terror that ended it• textbook markets, UDC influence, and Hollywood's role• measurable harms: Jim Crow, lynching, erased Black history• the three breaks: civil rights, academic insurgency, mass media• practical steps: read primary sources, audit curricula, update plaquesOther resources: Want to leave a review?

Christine Tulley, President and Executive Writing Coach, explores how to use Academic Writing Month (November) not to add more work, but to improve your writing habits and practices. She shares four strategic tweaks that can help academic writers become more satisfied with their work as the calendar year closes: finding one ideal writing day, creating a dream project list, taking stock of nine satisfaction areas, and taking advantage of free learning opportunities. Rather than pushing harder, these tweaks focus on reconnecting with what makes academic writing fulfilling.

The talent game has changed—and résumés alone won't cut it. In today's market, do HR talent acquisition leaders ditch outdated filters like degrees, job titles, and years of experience? Or do they go all-in with skills-based hiring because what matters more is what talent can do than what's printed on paper? In this episode, we'll explore the shift to skills-based hiring—the pros and cons, AI's role, and how a skills-based focus shapes workforce planning. In today's episode, we're joined by Alissa Durbin, Vice President of HR at IGS Energy, as well as Lindsay LaSala, Community Relationship Partner at IGS Energy to discuss how any and all professionals can start incorporating skills-based hiring into their recruiting strategy.

Send us a textBook your Leadership Strategy CallYou're praised in every performance review. Your manager can't stop saying how "invaluable" you are. But somehow, the promotion never comes. The raise never materializes. And you're left wondering if you're ungrateful for feeling frustrated by all that "appreciation."Here's what nobody's telling you: Gratitude is being weaponized to keep you stuck. This episode exposes exactly how it happens—and gives you the framework to stop it.What This Episode Is AboutIn this episode, we tackle the single most frustrating paradox for women in leadership: being praised but not promoted.You're "invaluable" but not invaluable enough for a new title. You're "appreciated" but not appreciated enough to be paid what you're worth. This is the Recognition-Reward Gap, and it's a systemic pattern that keeps talented women stuck.We'll explore why women receive subjective praise ("great team player!") while men get objective, results-focused feedback that leads to promotions. This isn't just a bad performance review; it's a form of "gratitude fatigue"—the exhaustion that comes from being thanked instead of being advanced. We'll break down the real costs of accepting "thank you" as currency and give you the framework to stop it.Resources Mentioned[COACHING PROGRAM] The Ignite Your Leadership Power Accelerator: Ready to turn this pattern around?

You've heard it all: “The truth about carbs,” “The truth about hormones,” “The truth about fasting.” But here's the real truth—context matters, and no single “truth” out there applies to every woman, every body, or every season of life.In this episode, I break down why most health advice is only a sliver of the full picture—and why lasting change doesn't come from copying and pasting what worked for someone else. Instead, you'll learn how to approach your health like a scientist: with curiosity, patience, and small, consistent actions that actually get down into your cells. You're not broken. You're just stuck in the wrong story.Here's what we cover:Why most “truths” about health are missing contextThe real reason your results aren't changingHow long it actually takes to see change at the cellular levelThe drip-drip-drip method vs. the bucket approach to health5 evidence-based habits to start today: walk, track, sleep, plan, eat proteinWhat your biology needs (and what it doesn't)There's no magic protocol.

Send us a textBook your Scorpio Season reading at: www.jilljardineastrology.com/shopExplore the mystical world of Halloween, Samhain, and All Souls Day from a unique perspective with me, Jill Jardine, and my guest, Sarah Adams, a gifted psychic and intuitive consultant. Together, we uncover the roots of these age-old celebrations, tracing their transformation from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain into the Halloween we know today.The glow of Halloween hides a far older story—one that begins at summer's end, when communities gathered by firelight to honor ancestors and prepare for winter. We sit down with intuitive consultant and psychic astrologer Sarah Adams to reconnect Halloween with its Celtic roots in Samhain, then trace how the church reframed a beloved fire festival into All Saints and All Souls. Along the way, we talk jack-o'-lanterns as spirit-warding tools, why costumes originally protected the living, and how daylight's retreat invites deep inner work.The heart of the conversation is power—who holds it, who defines it, and how archetypes shape culture. Sarah unpacks the “season of the witch,” showing how a vague label became a weapon against midwives, herbalists, and outspoken women. We revisit the story of Hypatia of Alexandria as a turning point that signaled the suppression of the feminine divine, and we connect those historic patterns to modern fears, cultural memory, and a growing reclamation of earth-based wisdom. With Scorpio season intensifying themes of death and rebirth, we explore what happens when the veil feels thin and how to meet it with intention rather than anxiety.Sarah also shares striking experiences of past life healing that unlocked unexpected skills in the present—illustrating soul memory in action and the practical value of regression, ritual, and mantra. Together we offer grounded practices for this time of year: honoring ancestors, identifying your “final harvest,” setting new moon intentions, and choosing the traditions that genuinely nourish you. If you've ever sensed there's more to Halloween than costumes and candy, this conversation gives you the history, symbolism, and tools to make the season meaningful.Guest Sarah Adams of Water & Earth Intuitive Consulting offers professional astrology as well as channeling, reiki and chakra work. She has been offering tarot and astrology readings since 2001.

Wisconsin Democrats handed out bracelets that read “Is he dead yet?” in what appears to be a reference to Trump. // LongForm: GUEST: KIRO News Radio's Chris Sullivan on what to expect for weekend traffic. // Quick Hit: America is ditching EVs and the rest of the globe appears to be following suit.

In his dystopian classic, 1984, George Orwell commented on the power of education by saying," [He] who controls the past controls the future; [and he] who controls the present controls the past." If you ever thought that today's Democrats don't understand that the front-line battle for the future of America is in America's schools, look no further than this week's headlines for proof that they, in fact, do.

We take a sharper route: pass your NASM, ACE, ISSA, NSCA, or ACSM quickly, then turn that momentum into hands‑on skill, confident coaching, and a book of business that lasts. Our goal is simple—make the exam make sense, and make your training career real.We walk through the essentials you're most likely to see on the test—clinical red flags like hypertension and tachycardia, ACSM risk stratification, and the behavior change stages—then connect those terms to real assessments and training decisions. You'll decode planes of motion, open vs closed chain, and the roles of agonists, synergists, and stabilizers on big lifts like squats, pull-ups, presses, and rows. We map NASM's OPT phases and ACE's IFT model to actual programming: stabilization setups, strength endurance supersets, hypertrophy ranges, maximal strength rest periods, and power pairings that develop force and speed without guesswork.We also dive into performance testing and bioenergetics so your intervals match the sport—ATP‑PC efforts with long recovery, glycolytic repeats with targeted rest, and steady oxidative work when it counts. On the nutrition side, we keep you in scope and exam‑ready: macros, calories per gram, fiber targets, and practical protein ranges from sedentary to strength and mass phases. Most importantly, we show how to move from textbook answers to client outcomes: clean assessments, simple cues that fix valgus without fear, workouts that hit stated goals on day one, and a clear, confident close that turns great coaching into paid sessions.If you're done cramming and ready to perform, grab the study guide, pass in 30 days, and join us for hands‑on learning that builds real-world confidence.

FINALLY A TEXTBOOK THAT SHARES THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE WONDERFUL OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION I've long said the worst thing to happen to the United States was Howard Zinn's patently Anti-American textbook. Now we've got a completely different sort of textbook called A History of the Western Tradition by highly regarded historians Allen Guelzo and James Hankins. Read this summary:THE GOLDEN THREAD contends that Western civilization has, in our lifetimes, been simultaneously challenged by secular totalitarianisms and yet remarkably successful in laying the foundations for material prosperity around the globe. These contradictions will present to the reader the most significant problems facing Western civilization today. Guelzo and Hankins, above all, wish for their readers to “understand just how fragile our tradition is and how many times in the three-thousand-year-long history of the West the golden thread that ties us to our past and enriches us beyond measure has come close to snapping.”Perfect timing for this sort of pro-Western Civilization revival that is desperately needed before people willingly march themselves towards totalitarianism. Allen Guelzo joins me at 2:30 to discuss it. Find out more about Golden Thread Academics here. Guelzo has written some really incredible books on Lincoln and the Civil War that you can find out more about here.
