Send us a textBook your reading for 2026 now:  www.jilljardineastrology.comDecember shows its two faces: bright, social momentum up front and focused, get-it-done energy on the back end. We open with a Sagittarius surge and a Gemini Full Moon that shakes loose conversations, reveals buried facts, and invites you to release stale narratives. 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. Sign-by-sign forecasts follow a clear arc: release, clarify, commit, and build into 2026.• Gemini full moon exposing truths and shifting stories• Neptune direct at 29° Pisces bringing clarity and closure• Mercury into Sagittarius expanding ideas and voice• Mars into Capricorn turning ambition into structure• Sagittarius new moon seeding vision and optimism• Winter solstice anchoring discipline and responsibility• Venus into Capricorn aligning values, money, and relationships• Practical steps to finish 2025 strong and prep for 2026• Sign-by-sign December forecasts with lucky daysI've just published my first book called Sacred Sound Formulas to Awaken the Modern Mind, Sanskrit Mantras to Raise Your Vibration.

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!

Michele Pancera and David Stern critically discuss a recent Google paper on AI-augmented textbooks. They consider the paper's proposal of AI-generated personalised learning materials and how it compares to existing deterministic tools like STACK. The conversation highlights the differences between surface-level and deep personalisations, the importance of human involvement in AI processes, and the potential of AI in supporting teachers and enhancing education systems globally. They explore the vision of a customisable, community-driven textbook ecosystem that leverages AI to reduce educational inequalities while maintaining high-quality human interaction.

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.

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?

Christine Tulley, President and Executive Writing Coach, discusses how academics can determine whether they have a viable publication idea by examining four key factors: first, whether you can execute the project with available resources including time, materials, and access to necessary data; second, whether the idea fits with a target journal or publication outlet and potentially a backup option; third, how the idea aligns with your scholarly positioning, expertise, and research agenda; and fourth, whether the idea has potential impact with an identifiable audience who would actually read and engage with the work. Tulley emphasizes that ideas should be tested through conversations with colleagues and conference presentations, and she provides practical examples from her own career transitions, noting that some ideas may be too small for full articles or too broad to execute effectively. She concludes by promoting her writing coaching services' holiday special for faculty who want help developing their publication ideas.  Slides Used 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!

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. Just consistent inputs over time. Start anywhere.

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. In addition to offering guidance to clients via private readings, parties, fundraisers, events and workshops, Sarah is also a writer, marketing consultant, and event planner.  In her free time she is training for her private pilot license to fly aircraft.  Contact at: Sarah_Adams@yahoo.comIf this resonated, subscribe, share with a friend who loves history and mysticism, and leave a quick review so more curious souls can find the show.Support the show

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.

Could the secret to fertility and hormone balance be found in mushrooms?

Today we've got a new textbook that teaches about the rich history of the United States properly, a new study on the competency crisis in our criminal justice system, and a screening of a documentary you should all see. 

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.
