It's October, which means we're about to be hit with the annual consumption tsunami. Black Friday. Cyber Monday. Then straight into Christmas panic-buying. And somewhere in all of this chaos, your customers – the ones who chose your brand because they care about quality, sustainability, conscious consumption – they're feeling pressured. Pressured to spend for the sake of getting a deal. Pressured to consume for the sake of consuming. It's the whole disposable goods, instant-gratification, fast-food and fast-fashion mentality playing out in real time. And here's what really gets me: Is this the world we want to live in? Is this the world we want our kids to grow up in? Where everything is about faster, cheaper, more disposable? Where local boutiques disappear one by one while Amazon rules everything? I certainly don't.  And the data backs me up – sustainable, purpose-driven brands are growing 64% faster than alternatives. Your customers want to buy from brands that share their values. This isn't just the right thing to do – it's good business. So in this episode, I'm going to show you how purpose-driven brands can absolutely dominate this season without compromising their values, without manipulating their customers, and without training everyone to only buy on discount. I'm calling it Green Friday to Green Christmas. And it's about so much more than one long weekend of deals.   Links mentioned in this episode: If you'd like help to achieve your goals, I invite you to have a chat to find out how we can make that happen together HERE By booking a Free Growth Strategy https://productpreneurmarketing.com/lets-talk https://productpreneurmarketing.com/q4   Other Ways To Enjoy This Episode: Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify Youtube  

Send us a textThe holidays aren't the source of your stress—you are. Triggering? Maybe. Liberating? Absolutely.In this episode of the Cosmic Valkyrie Podcast, we're continuing the No More Holiday Hustle Series with a deep dive into why your calendar, to-do list, and family obligations aren't actually the problem—and how subconscious identities and inherited beliefs are the real culprits.Most women think the stress comes from “doing too much,” but the truth is, the spiral begins in your subconscious programming. If you believe you're always behind, you'll live in urgency and panic. If you believe you're not enough, you'll overdeliver to the point of burnout. If you believe productivity equals worth, you'll never allow yourself to rest.The result? Stress eating, emotional shopping, arguments with family, blown budgets, migraines, and resentment that lasts long after the season ends.But here's the radical shift: stress doesn't come from what you're doing—it comes from who you believe you are while you're doing it.That's where alignment, momentum, and subconscious reprogramming come in. This episode shows you how to stop hustling, stop scrambling, and start creating the holidays you actually want.Why holiday stress starts in your belief system, not your schedule.The subconscious identities (People-Pleaser, Martyr, Overachiever, Fixer) that hijack your peace.Why willpower always fails—and how subconscious reprogramming creates lasting change.The hidden financial, emotional, and energetic costs of “making it magical.”How Quantum Physics and Induction Hypnosis help shift your subconscious lens.What it means to embody the Shapeshifter identity this season.Practical shifts you can start today to create alignment, presence, and flow.This isn't about canceling Christmas or lowering your standards—it's about reclaiming your presence, your joy, and your energy so you don't collapse into January burned out and resentful.Want to go deeper?

As the holiday shopping season approaches, retailers are competing for attention and ad dollars earlier than ever. Seema Shah shares her take on the trends shaping the retail landscape. She notes that while Black Friday used to mark the start of the holiday shopping season, it's now been pulled forward to October, with Amazon (AMZN) leading the charge with its Prime Days. Shah also points out that despite a pullback in advertising spending by some retailers, big-box stores like Walmart (WMT) and Target (TGT) continue to dominate the ad space, making it increasingly difficult for smaller, mid-size businesses to break through the noise.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

We'll also talk all about our thoughts on the recently refurbished one bedroom suites at Bay Lake Towers & some other fun experiences we enjoyed. We'll also bring up why pivoting our plans made it a so much more enjoyable visit. Disney Stories of the Week Once we complete the discussion of Our September Walt Disney World Adventure, it's time for the Disney Stories of the Week. In this episode, we share some amazing news for Muppets & DCOM fans. Even though it's still September, it's not to early to make your Holiday Season plans and we have the list of narrators for this year's Candlelight Processional. We also tell you about an amazing Disney Cruise Line deal that may have you taking to the high seas this Fall & Winter. Certainly, that's not all.

As the High Holidays approach, many of us gather with family, see old friends at shul, and catch up on a year's worth of life. But for those who don't fit the “expected” mold—singles, people without children, divorced or widowed individuals, single parents—these moments can feel isolating instead of uplifting.   In this episode, Dr. Aimee Baron sits down with Rabbi Yisrael Motzen, who recently launched "Kol Echad," an Orthodox Union initiative to make sure no one in our community is overlooked or left behind. Together, they talk about: Rabbi Motzen's background and how/why he came into this work. How so many people feel unseen in Jewish communal life, and how "Kol Echad" aims to fix it Simple and practical suggestions that synagogues, hosts, and individuals can make to be more inviting and inclusive Impressing upon people that we all need to be involved in this to make a difference This conversation is both honest and hopeful, reminding us that true community is built not only at the family table but also in the act of making space for each other—especially those carrying unseen stories. Whether you're someone who has felt “forgotten,” or someone who wants to do better at seeing others, this episode offers wisdom, compassion, and a path forward.   Mentions:  Unmatched by Sarah Lavane More about Rabbi Yisrael Motzen: Rabbi Yisrael Motzen is the rabbi of Ner Tamid Greenspring Valley Congregation in Baltimore, Maryland. He serves as special assistant to the executive vice presidents of the Orthodox Union and is also the director of Kol Echad, a new OU department dedicated to creating communities where every single person matters.   Sign up for the Kol Echad E-Magazine here   Connect with Rabbi Yisrael Motzen:  - Follow him on Instagram - Connect with Kol Echad on Instagram   Connect with us: -Check out our Website -Follow us on Instagram and send us a message -Watch our TikToks -Follow us on Facebook -Watch us on YouTube -Connect with us on LinkedIn

Yet another warning on private investments! I remember hearing about a company by the name of Yieldstreet a few years ago and how it was a new way for smaller investors to get access to private investments and diversify away from stocks. The company promoted their platform with the tagline, “Invest like the 1%.” Unfortunately, it is now coming out that several investors may have lost everything they invested in the platform. One gentleman shared with CNBC how he invested $400,000 in two real estate projects: A luxury apartment building in downtown Nashville overseen by former WeWork CEO Adam Neumann's family office, and a three-building renovation in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York. Each project had targeted annual returns of around 20%. After three years, Yieldstreet declared the Nashville project a total loss, which wiped out $300k of his funds and the Chelsea deal needs to raise fresh capital or it will face a similar fate. Unfortunately, he is not alone and CNBC reviewed documents that show investors put more than $370 million into 30 real estate projects that have already recognized $78 million in defaults in the past year. Yieldstreet customers who spoke to CNBC say they anticipate deep or total losses on the remainder. Looking into this platform in more detail, it's crazy what they were doing. Their portfolio doesn't just consist of real estate as there is also private equity, private credit, art, crypto, and other less common investments. It appears Yieldstreet makes money by charging a management fee of around 2% on invested funds. The craziest part to me though was in several cases, Yieldstreet went to its userbase to raise rescue funds for troubled deals and told members the loans combined the protections of debt with the upside of equity. But in one case, a $3.1 million member loan to rescue a Nashville project was wiped out after just a few months! One of the big problems with these platforms is professional large investors are more disciplined when looking at investing in this space and the smaller players may be getting the bad deals that are passed over by the more established players. It's unfortunate to see people lose money like this, but this is why I avoid the private investment space. There is just not enough clarity and in many cases these platforms seem to be in it for themselves rather than for their investors. I will continue to invest in good, quality equities as I worry, we will continue to hear stories like this from investors who put money into private investments thinking they were investing in a safer asset, just to find out years later there is nothing left.     Will tariffs hurt this holiday season? Here we are already at the end of August and before you know it, you'll be thinking about putting out the Christmas lights and decorating your home. For the past few years, we have seen growth in holiday sales, but this year could be different as it appears from recent conference calls from CEOs at Walmart, Home Depot and Target that they are seeing the tariff increases starting to come through. During his recent conference call, the CEO of Walmart, Doug McMillon, said that the impact of tariffs has been gradually increasing to protect the consumer, but he also said that the company is seeing cost increases each week as it rebuilds inventories with new products post tariff. He also mentioned that they may not be able to protect the consumer from rising prices much longer. What is also bad about this is that retail sales may rise, but consumers will receive less product to put under the Christmas tree considering sales are not adjusted for inflation. This could be the delayed inflation that Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve has been waiting for and unfortunately, it may show up when people begin shopping for Christmas gifts. Maybe there should not be an interest rate cut in September after all?    Should you work in retirement? When many people are in their working years, they can't wait to retire so they can do what they want to do. For some people that retirement works out well, but science has shown that there's health benefits to working in retirement along with financial benefits. The health benefits would include more physical activity as you're not laying around the house or sitting in the rocking chair on the front porch. Instead, you're moving around walking places and staying active. Working also helps you stay connected with other people, which has been proven to extend your life. The financial benefits from working in your later years would include taking out less from your retirement accounts to maintain a good lifestyle. Also, you can hold off on Social Security which means you'd get a larger Social Security check when you do decide to collect. The type of work you do depend on you and some people in retirement have started a second career that is a job that they always wanted to do. Some people just work part time to stay active and involved. If you're in retirement, you can take a low stress job because you don't really need all the income to cover your expenses as long as you have the financial accounts/investments to do so.   Financial Planning: The challenge of creating retirement income For decades, American workers relied on pensions, but today retirement security largely depends on defined contribution plans like the 401(k), where the burden has shifted to the individual saver. The real challenge comes when it is time to turn a pile of assets into a reliable, inflation-adjusted income stream that can last 20–30 years. Some retirees look to CDs and Treasury bills, which are guaranteed and currently pay about 4% interest, but they offer no appreciation to offset inflation and yields will likely decline as short-term rates drop. Corporate bonds may provide a slightly higher return, but they come with interest rate, credit, duration, and reinvestment risks that often outweigh the modest extra yield. Others consider annuities, which can create a pension-like income stream, but these require handing over principal, and because they are designed by insurance companies, the terms typically favor the provider rather than the investor. High-dividend stocks can also be appealing, but they may be a trap, as struggling companies often have elevated yields due to falling stock prices, which can be compounded further if the dividend is cut. On the other end of the spectrum, broad market indexes like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq have been popular for growth, but their dividend yields remain low, around 1.2% and 0.8% respectively, forcing investors to sell shares for income, and poorly timed sales can shorten portfolio longevity. Even dividend aristocrats, known for steadily increasing payouts, currently only yield about 2% to 2.5% on average. There is no simple solution, but one truth stands out: accumulating assets is very different than generating income from them. Retirees need a clear income plan before leaving the workforce in order to maximize both security and enjoyment in retirement.   Companies Discussed: Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. (CBRL), Zoom Communications Inc. (ZM), Ralph Lauren Corporation (RL) & Viking Holdings LTD. (VIK)

What would life look like without small businesses? Today, we're diving into why they're the heartbeat of our local economies—and why their role matters more than ever during the holiday rush.

Listen in as we explore how to shift attention from big-box retailers to small businesses through Pink Friday, a bold, colorful event held the Friday before Black Friday.  Resources:  Sara Burks:  LinkedIn Pink Friday 2025 Join The Boutique Hub     Ashley Alderson: Instagram     The Boutique Hub: Website | Facebook | Instagram | Pinterest | TikTok | YouTube

We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go. The Empty Chair Christopher introduces the metaphor of the "empty chair" to symbolize the ongoing presence of grief in our lives. This empty chair represents those we have lost, serving as a poignant reminder of their absence while also opening up a space for reflection and conversation about our experiences with loss. Acknowledging the empty chair is the first step towards healing, and creating a physical space, such as a small memorial in your home, can serve as a tangible reminder and a place for reflection. Grief Design Eddie Yoon presents the concept of Grief Design, emphasizing the importance of actively engaging with our grief rather than allowing it to consume us. By framing our grief, we can express our anger and pain without resorting to violence or despair. Finding safe outlets for emotions, whether through writing, art, or physical activities, can aid in processing grief. Additionally, surrounding oneself with a supportive network of friends, family, and professionals is crucial. This support system helps navigate the tumultuous waters of grief, allowing for a deeper understanding of oneself and relationships. Creating Spaces and Opening Conversations for Grief Katrina Kirsch underscores the universality of loss and the importance of creating spaces for open and empathetic conversations about grief. Christopher shares his journey of learning to coexist with grief while seeking joy, highlighting the possibility of experiencing joy in the face of pain. Allowing dual emotions to coexist harmoniously is essential, and engaging in activities that bring joy, even if they are small, can help balance the emotional landscape. Christopher also touches on the role of faith in navigating grief, sharing a moment of vulnerability when he reached out to a higher power for support. Faith, whether through organized religion or personal spirituality, can provide comfort and strength during difficult times.

There are a lot of holiday gatherings at this time of year, and families getting together can mean that kids are in places that don't normally have a lot of kid visitors. And, as we know, curious kids can get into trouble.Dr. Sing-Yi Feng, a pediatric emergency physician and medical toxicologist with the North Texas Poison Center, joins Ira to talk about some of the most common toxic exposures seen in hospital emergency rooms over the holidays. She stresses that even more than protecting against consumption of poinsettia plants or the cleaning supplies under the sink, households with young kids should be sure to control access to prescription medications, alcohol, and cannabis gummies.Transcript for this segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
