Major surgery can temporarily change what your body can do. But being strong before surgery, physically and mentally, can change how you approach everything that comes next.In this episode of Stronger By Design, Michelle MacDonald sits down with two remarkable women who know that firsthand: Susan Thiessen, 67, and Joan MacDonald, 80.Susan has faced four hip operations in a little over a year, including an unexpected surgery following a serious infection that interrupted her return to bodybuilding and the competitive stage. Joan recently underwent a full knee replacement after years of pain, following a reverse shoulder replacement the previous year. Both women entered these challenges with something incredibly valuable already in their corner: strength.Together, Susan, Joan and Michelle have an open conversation about what recovery really looks like for women over 60. They discuss preparing your body before surgery, maintaining strength and movement as you age, following the recovery process without losing sight of who you are, and dealing with the frustration that comes when your body temporarily can't do what your mind wants it to do.Susan shares how her identity as an athlete helped her through weeks in the hospital and how focusing on what she would be able to do, rather than what she couldn't do, gave her something to work toward. Joan discusses the mental challenge of accepting limitations, her determination to return to the gym after knee replacement, and how dramatically different this recovery has been from her first knee surgery more than a decade earlier.They also explore the importance of accountability and community, listening to your medical team, knowing when not to push, nutrition and recovery habits, and why preparing for surgery can begin long before you enter the operating room.Most importantly, this conversation isn't about pretending recovery is easy. It's about building a body and mindset capable of meeting difficult moments when they arrive.Whether you're facing surgery, recovering from an injury, rebuilding after a setback, or simply want to stay strong and capable as you age, Susan and Joan offer living proof that getting older doesn't mean you stop moving forward.Favorite Moments0:00 How Much Does Strength Before Surgery Matter? Susan and Joan immediately establish the central idea of the episode: surgery is a major physical stress, and preparation matters.3:11 Four Hip Operations at 67: How Strength Changed Susan's Recovery Just days after an unplanned surgery, Susan was already walking without a walker. She explains why she believes entering surgery in exceptional physical condition made such a difference.7:27 When Recovery Challenges Your Identity as an Athlete Michelle and Susan discuss what happened when training, macros and normal check-ins had to give way to simply recovering.9:57 Accountability Isn't Someone Judging You Michelle reframes accountability as having someone who knows what you're capable of and can remind you who you are when you're struggling.12:00 Learning to Give Yourself Permission to Recover After three and a half weeks in the hospital, Susan describes something that's normally very difficult for her: slowing down.14:13 The Hardest Part of Recovery: Accepting Your Limitations Joan talks about impatience, believing she should be healing faster and eventually recognizing how much progress she was actually making.18:20 Two Knee Replacements, More Than a Decade Apart Michelle looks back at Joan's first knee replacement and contrasts who Joan was physically then with the dramatically stronger woman entering surgery this time.23:27 "I'm Going to Be Able to Get All That Strength Back" Joan explains how surviving the harder recovery from her first knee replacement gave her confidence that she could rebuild again.25:48 "Wow, I Can Actually Do It" Only weeks after surgery, Joan discovers what her new knee can already do, while also learning an important lesson about not pushing recovery too quickly.29:47 When Physical Therapy Becomes Your Workout Unable to train normally, Susan turns her rehabilitation exercises into a structured daily training plan and keeps her athlete mindset alive.33:23 "Even Your Warmups Are Heavy": What Happens When You Get Strong Michelle recalls Susan questioning her increasingly heavy deadlifts and the simple coaching statement that completely changed how she approached them.34:10 What Can You Control When Everything Else Is Uncertain? With Susan still facing uncertainty about another surgery, Michelle talks about aging, change and controlling how we show up when circumstances are outside our hands.35:05 Facing Surgery Later in Life? Get Strong First Joan's advice to other women is simple: don't wait passively for surgery. Prepare your body for what's coming.36:17 Susan's Advice: Allow Yourself to Grieve the Setback Susan explains why anger, sadness and disappointment have a place in recovery, but why eventually you have to accept what's happened and move forward.38:10 How to Prepare Your Body Before Surgery Michelle brings the lessons together with practical preparation around strength, nutrition, inflammation, habits, food planning and post-surgery support.43:38 At 80: "I Can Do Most of the Things I've Always Wanted to Do" Joan puts the entire conversation into perspective by describing what being strong at 80 actually gives her: the ability to continue doing things, taking chances and accepting challenges.GUEST: JOAN MACDONALDInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/trainwithjoanWebsite: https://www.trainwithjoanofficial.com/Joan MacDonald, known to millions through Train With Joan™, is an 80-year-old fitness inspiration whose transformation has helped challenge conventional ideas about aging, strength and what's possible later in life.In this episode, Joan shares her experience recovering from a full knee replacement following a reverse shoulder replacement the previous year. Her perspective is especially powerful because she can compare her current recovery as a strong, active 80-year-old with her experience undergoing knee replacement more than a decade earlier, before transforming her health and fitness.GUEST: SUSAN THIESSENSusan Thiessen is a 67-year-old competitive bodybuilding athlete who has demonstrated extraordinary resilience through a series of major medical setbacks. After preparing for and recovering from a planned hip replacement, Susan experienced complications that ultimately led to multiple additional hip operations and an extended hospital stay.Before her latest setback, Susan had returned to training, was hitting personal records and deadlifting more weight than ever as she prepared to return to the competitive stage. Today, she continues to approach rehabilitation with the same structure and determination she brings to bodybuilding, using physical therapy, training, nutrition and her athlete mindset to work toward getting strong again.HOST: MICHELLE MACDONALDMichelle MacDonald is the creator of the FITNESS MODEL BLUEPRINT™ and host of the Stronger By Design™ podcast. Known internationally for her evidence-based approach to women's fitness, Michelle has coached thousands of women since 2012 through strength training, nutrition and mindset.

Vous avez sûrement entendu parler des périodes sensibles Montessori, et j'ai déjà longuement développé la question des périodes sensibles chez les enfants de 3 à 6 ans, mais on connaît souvent moins les différentes périodes sensibles des bébés et des bambins, entre 0 et 3 ans.Alors même que les tout-petits ne parlent pas encore, cette connaissance des périodes sensibles nous ouvre une porte sur ce qui se passe en eux et nous permet de mieux les observer, de mieux les comprendre, de surtout de mieux répondre à leurs besoins !---Liens évoqués pendant l'épisode :Podcast 167 : Les 6 périodes sensibles Montessori ... et les autres !Thiessen, Hill & Saffran (2005) — Infant-Directed Speech Facilitates Word Segmentation Graf Estes & Hurley (2013), Infant-directed prosody helps infants map sounds to meanings. ---Le site des MontessouricettesLien pour me laisser un petit message audio avec votre question ou votre suggestion de thème (j'inclurai votre message dans un prochain épisode !)Notre communauté gratuiteFormation Aménager sa maison MontessoriCatalogue des formations des MontessouricettesVous pouvez nous envoyer vos retours, suggestions et commentaires ici :

Welcome to Week 3 of our series, The Church Jesus Is Building. In Ephesians 3, Paul prays that we would not only know about God's love, but that we would actually experience the depth of it for ourselves. God's love is wider, longer, higher, and deeper than we can fully comprehend—and yet He invites us to be rooted and established in that love. As the Church Jesus is building, we aren't meant to simply talk about God's love; we're meant to live from it, be shaped by it, and share it with others. When we know how deeply we are loved by God, it changes how we live, how we love, and how we belong to His family. Join us as we continue through Ephesians and discover what it means to be rooted in the love of Christ and filled with the fullness of God.

The Right is tearing itself apart over a $20 burrito, while regular Americans are still getting crushed by the cost of living. A college kid told Turning Point USA's Andrew Kolvet that a burrito shouldn't cost twenty bucks. That simple complaint set off a full-blown conservative civil war. Ben Shapiro said you're “doing life wrong” if you pay that much. Marc Thiessen told students to cry him a river. Then Vice President JD Vance jumped in with a fat joke about Thiessen never missing a burrito. Matt Walsh, Sean Davis, and half of conservative Twitter piled on. Meanwhile the actual prices of food, housing, and everything else never came back down after the Biden inflation spike. The rate slowed, but the high prices stuck. Voters handed Republicans the White House and Congress because they were sick of it. Now the same party is busy fighting a proxy war over Chipotle instead of delivering real relief. Tariffs, energy uncertainty, and endless internal drama aren't helping. The $20 burrito is just the symbol. The real problem is a party that won on affordability and is now distracted by the dumbest online food fight imaginable. Pat also covered: Day 55: Mitch McConnell is still missing after being released from rehab. $100 hot dogs are selling out in Miami … why? Trump signs new executive order cracking down on birth tourism. If El-Sayed is a uniter, why is he attacking second lady Usha Vance? Sharia law survivor speaks out against Islam — McKinney, Texas, ignores him. Does this burrito war make the GOP look completely out of touch with working families?

Heute wird es persönlich bei Power ON, denn ich habe meinen ältesten Sohn Theodor zu Gast. Theodor (9) und sein Bruder Frederik (7) haben letzten Sommer das Kartenspiel SCHULDUELL erfunden. Das war ihr Weg, um mit der Unsicherheit rund um Schulwechsel und Schulstart nach unserem Umzug von der Schweiz in die Slowakei umzugehen. Da ich inzwischen so viele Fragen dazu bekommen habe, wie aus einer Idee von zwei Kindern tatsächlich ein richtiges Kartenspiel entstanden ist, was nun auf Amazon erhältlich ist, habe ich mir gedacht: Wer könnte diese Geschichte besser erzählen als Theodor selbst? Wir sprechen in dieser Folge darüber, wie das Kartenspiel SCHULDUELL entstanden ist, was für ihn die schönsten Momente waren, was schwieriger war als gedacht und was er dabei alles bisher gelernt hat. Außerdem erzählt Theodor von seiner (ziemlich großen) Vision für SCHULDUELL und teilt am Ende seine ganz persönlichen Tipps für Kinder, die kurz vor dem Schulstart stehen oder die Schule wechseln und dabei vielleicht selbst gerade Unsicherheit oder Angst spüren. Und vielleicht ist das auch eine Folge, die ihr wunderbar gemeinsam mit euren Kindern anhören könnt. Vielleicht inspiriert Theodors Geschichte auch eure Kinder dazu, eine der vielen Ideen im eigenen Kopf nicht nur weiterzuspinnen, sondern einfach mal auszuprobieren und umzusetzen

Every church tells a story. The question is: Is it the right one? In this episode, Loren Richmond Jr. talks with sociologist Joel Thiessen about The Stories Congregations Tell, a research project exploring why some churches flourish through seasons of transition while others struggle. Drawing on case studies from congregations across Canada, Thiessen argues that the stories churches tell about their past, present, and future profoundly shape their identity, leadership, and mission. The conversation explores how congregations develop a healthy sense of identity without becoming trapped by nostalgia, why flourishing is about far more than numerical growth, and how local churches are constantly shaped by the wider cultural stories surrounding them. Thiessen also explains why sociology can help churches understand themselves more honestly—not to replace theology, but to deepen it. Whether your church is growing, plateauing, or navigating significant change, this conversation offers practical wisdom for understanding the narratives that shape congregational life—and how a healthier story can lead to a healthier future. Together they explore: Why every congregation tells a story—and why it matters How churches connect their past, present, and future The cultural stories shaping congregational life How churches develop resilience through seasons of change The importance of intergenerational community How churches can resist the "bigger is better" mindset Practical ways congregations can discover and live into their own story Joel Thiessen is Professor of Sociology, Chair of the Social Sciences Department, and Director of the Flourishing Congregations Institute at Ambrose University in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He is a sociologist of religion who specializes in religion in Canada, religious nones, congregations, millennials, and more recently, death and dying.   Mentioned Resources:

Trust is a dangerous currency, and The Blind Rage Podcast is spending some time with THE STRANGER BESIDE ME (1995), a tense thriller led by Tiffani-Amber Thiessen. What starts as a promising romance quickly turns into something far darker as the warning signs begin piling up, the stakes keep rising, and every attempt to escape only pulls the trap tighter. Thiessen carries the film with a determined, sympathetic performance, while Eric Close brings plenty of charm and unease to a story built on manipulation, obsession, and the terrifying possibility that the person who claims to love you may know exactly how to use that trust against you. Once the film shifts gears, it rarely lets up, delivering the kind of escalating suspense that made small-screen thrillers such a reliable source of late-night anxiety throughout the '90s. Brandon and Tony discuss the performances, the tension, the memorable twists, and the particular brand of television movie drama that keeps viewers glued to the screen long after common sense suggests walking away.

Marc Thiessen, columnist at The Washington Post, Fox News contributor, and a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, joined us on the Guy Benson Show today to discuss the future of a potential deal in Iran.

Ben Shapiro aired his own criticism, calling out JD Vance for getting embarrassed by Iran and saying he has never seen a weaker Republican performance. Hawk also plays a clip of Mark Thiessen, a former George W. Bush speechwriter and one of the most consistent Trump boosters at the Washington Post and on Fox News, breaking from his pattern of unconditional praise to call the Iran deal a disaster. Hawk walks through a list of Thiessen's previous columns dating back to March, each one predicting or celebrating Trump's imminent victory in Iran, as context for how significant it is to hear Thiessen criticize the deal at all. Hawk covers the financial terms of the agreement, including the release of roughly $100 billion in previously frozen Iranian assets that is already underway, on top of a $300 billion reconstruction fund. He also references the deal's language committing the United States to lifting all sanctions on Iran, including on oil sales, and contrasts the entire outcome with what the Obama-era JCPOA accomplished without a war or a closed Strait of Hormuz.

This is The Energy to Heal, your resource for all things Splankna, the faith-based inner healing modality that will help you achieve emotional freedom. In this episode, Laura Milliken sits down with Sarah J. Thiessen, founder of Splankna, to tackle one of the most frequently asked questions in the Christian emotional healing space: What exactly is Reiki? Many Christians have heard conflicting opinions about Reiki. Some view it as a harmless wellness practice, while others believe it has spiritual implications that deserve careful consideration. In this candid conversation, Laura and Sarah take a thoughtful look at Reiki's history, origins, core beliefs, and how it compares to Splankna. Together they discuss: What Reiki is and where it originated The foundational beliefs behind Reiki practice Whether Reiki and Splankna are the same thing Why people often confuse the two modalities The role of spiritual authority in Christian emotional healing How to evaluate healing practices through a biblical lens Common misconceptions about Splankna and energy psychology Questions Christians should ask when considering any healing modality Sarah brings decades of experience studying emotional healing, trauma, theology, and spiritual formation to this important discussion. Whether you're curious about Reiki, concerned about New Age influences, or simply trying to better understand what makes Splankna distinct, this episode offers a thoughtful framework for evaluating these topics through a Christian worldview.

Washington Post columnist and Fox News contributor Marc Thiessen joins Brian Kilmeade to break down why a potential weekend ceasefire deal with Iran could be a disastrous lifeline for the regime. Thiessen sounds the alarm on Trump's "deal addiction," arguing that stopping the conflict now leaves the Iranian military on the 20-yard line with a $300 billion reconstruction fund to rebuild their forces. Instead of giving in to panic from the Gulf States, Thiessen details why the U.S. must finish the job and completely crush the regime. Learn more about your ad choices.

Marc Thiessen, Washington Post columnist, Fox News contributor, AEI fellow, and co-host of the podcast What the Hell Is Going On, joined The Guy Benson Show to assess the current state of the Democratic Party as AOC seems to eye a possible presidential run.
