Shoot us a Text.Episode #1147: Today we're covering a first-of-its-kind Stellantis store acquisition backed by Ellenae Fairhurst's trust, a new AI tool that negotiates car deals for shoppers, and the latest U.S.-China framework over TikTokThe late Ellenae Fairhurst's legacy lives on as a Stellantis store in Virginia has new owners, in a new approach to dealership ownership.Fairhurst Automotive, backed by the Ellenae Fairhurst Entrepreneurial Trust, acquired and rebranded the South Richmond CDJR store.Ellenae Fairhurst was the first Black woman to own Infiniti and Lexus stores in the US and her trust, formed in 2024, funds and mentors first-time Black dealers with a path to majority ownership and wealth creation.New co-owners Ken Banks and Chris Justice navigated regulatory hurdles and surprise costs, including a $50,000 business license and $40,000 in IT upgrades.Adviser Stuart McCallum and the team at Biltmore Automotive guided the operators through everything from DMS installation to state licensing.“They took two people who knew nothing about ownership… and just walked us through it,” said co-owner Chris Justice.Many customers dread negotiating a car price, so CarEdge thinks AI should do it for you. The startup's new “AI Negotiator” lets customers pay $40 to have an AI agent haggle with dealers on their behalf.CarEdge launched its AI Negotiator app in July; over 2,000 customers have already paid to try it.Users set a target price, and the AI contacts dealers directly via email and text — without revealing it's not a human.The system tracks 150+ data points per interaction, building a database of doc fees and add-ons nationwide.Founder Zach Shefska says dealers and OEMs are already taking notice, calling CarEdge “the tip of the spear.”“There's still going to be people that walk up to the dealership [to negotiate], but there's a percentage of sales that can happen without the incumbent cost infrastructure, and everyone can win. That's what I'm passionate about,” Shefska said.The U.S. and China have struck a framework deal over TikTok's ownership, potentially shifting control from ByteDance to a U.S. company.Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed the framework during trade talks in Madrid; Trump and Xi are expected to discuss final details Friday.The deal addresses U.S. demands for local control of user data and oversight of TikTok's proprietary algorithm.China insists it won't compromise on principles or allow “politicization” of technology and trade.Broader issues remain unresolved, including fentanyl chemical exports, sanctions on Chinese firms, and new U.S. export controls.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
Send us a textMe Before PMDD: Relationship Reset Toolkit-CouplesClick to Book a Private PMDD SessionFollow me on InstagramFollow me on TikTokThe moment I realized my relationship was ending wasn't during a heated argument or a dramatic confrontation. It happened in paradise—on a beautiful balcony in Los Cabos, where I should have felt at peace but instead felt utterly disconnected from my partner despite my desperate attempts to reconnect.This disconnect wasn't about not loving each other enough. It wasn't even about the challenges of managing PMDD symptoms. It was something deeper—the gradual, devastating loss of hope that things could ever truly improve between us. After trying everything I knew to rebuild our connection and still feeling miles apart, I faced the painful truth that sometimes love isn't enough when fundamental needs remain unmet.Through years of counseling couples affected by PMDD, I've identified five critical patterns that signal when a relationship has moved beyond the typical monthly conflicts into territory where permanent separation becomes likely. From the emotional exhaustion of cyclical breakup threats to the erosion of intimacy that turns partners into roommates, these warning signs emerge long before the final decision to separate.What makes these patterns particularly dangerous is how gradually they develop. Most couples wait until they're drowning before reaching for help, not realizing that relationship healing—like taking antibiotics—requires consistent, ongoing care rather than a single intervention. One counseling session might provide temporary relief, but without continued support, couples often find themselves sliding backward into even deeper disconnection.Whether you're currently struggling in a PMDD-affected relationship or supporting someone who is, understanding these patterns can help you recognize when it's time to commit to serious intervention. The question isn't whether your relationship is experiencing difficulties—PMDD guarantees challenges—but whether both partners still have hope and are willing to do the consistent work needed to rebuild connection. Because as I learned on that balcony in Mexico, sometimes the kindest choice we can make is to acknowledge when a relationship no longer serves either person's highest good.

Send us a textUse Code "PMDDFreedom" for $100 off Private PMDD Sessions- Click to Book a Private PMDD SessionFollow me on InstagramFollow me on TikTokThe silent killer in many PMDD relationships isn't the condition itself—it's the toxic cycle of withheld forgiveness that follows emotional outbursts. When you've made mistakes during your luteal phase that you genuinely regret, the path forward should be apology, forgiveness, and healing. But what happens when your partner accepts your apology on the surface while continuing to weaponize your past mistakes against you?This episode dives deep into the damaging pattern where one partner becomes stuck in perpetual "apology mode" while the other uses unforgiveness as a form of control. Dr. Rose draws from her own painful experiences and client work to illuminate how this power imbalance develops, sometimes unconsciously, creating a relationship where one person must constantly perform to earn back love that should be freely given.The psychological toll is devastating—walking on eggshells, feeling perpetually guilty, losing self-respect, and developing codependency where your worth becomes tied to your partner's approval. Meanwhile, the partner withholding forgiveness avoids examining their own contributions to relationship problems while maintaining the upper hand. This creates a perfect storm for PMDD symptoms to worsen as unresolved hurts become triggers during future luteal phases.True forgiveness isn't transactional or conditional on perfection. It's an acknowledgment of pain coupled with a genuine commitment to move forward without using past mistakes as ammunition. As Dr. Rose powerfully shares, "If I don't have to beg God for forgiveness, why am I begging man?" Breaking free from this cycle requires understanding that forgiveness is a choice to heal, not a tool for manipulation. Ready to transform your relationship from an emotional battleground into a healing partnership? This episode offers the insights and validation you've been searching for.

Send us a textClick to Join PMDD Power Couples Click to Book a Private PMDD SessionFollow me on InstagramFollow me on TikTokThe weight of parenting with PMDD extends far beyond our personal struggles—it shapes how our children experience safety, trust, and emotional regulation. Drawing from both personal experience and clinical insights, this powerful episode explores the often unseen impact of PMDD on parent-child relationships and offers compassionate guidance for breaking cycles of trauma.When we experience PMDD symptoms, our children become emotional sponges, absorbing not just what they see and hear during conflicts, but the energetic shifts that occur during our luteal phase. Even when we believe we're protecting them from our symptoms, they sense the tension—and without proper explanation, they internalize these experiences as somehow being their fault.What appears as "good behavior" during a parent's luteal phase often masks a child's trauma response. They become hypervigilant, walking on eggshells to avoid triggering your symptoms. This emotional suppression doesn't indicate maturity—it reveals fear. Children sacrifice their own needs to maintain peace, developing coping mechanisms that can follow them into adulthood.Perhaps most revealing is examining how PMDD affects what we model as "normal" in relationships. If your child came home describing a relationship where their partner treated them the way your relationship functions during PMDD episodes, would you encourage them to stay? Our children learn what to accept in relationships by watching us.Creating emotional safety despite PMDD requires honest, age-appropriate communication. Rather than gaslighting children by pretending everything is fine when they clearly sense otherwise, acknowledge what's happening. This validation prevents them from developing the belief that they're responsible for managing your emotions—a burden no child should carry.Ready to transform your approach to parenting with PMDD? Your children's emotional wellbeing depends on it. Reach out for support at inlovewithpmdd.com and begin creating the safe, consistent environment your child deserves.
Send us a textClick to Join PMDD Power Couples Click to Book a Private PMDD SessionFollow me on InstagramFollow me on TikTokThe words we speak in our relationships have a power that extends far beyond the moment they're uttered. For those navigating PMDD relationships, this power becomes even more significant as negative statements spoken during luteal phase can transform into what I call "word curses" - harmful declarations that stick with us and our partners despite our best intentions.Have you ever wondered why you can't move forward in your relationship despite genuine apologies and improved behavior? The answer might lie in these word curses. When you tell your partner "we shouldn't be together" or "you're impossible to love" during a PMDD episode, your brain doesn't file these statements away as temporary feelings. Instead, they become embedded beliefs that shape how both of you perceive the relationship long-term.These negative declarations create a particularly devastating cycle in PMDD relationships. During follicular phase, you might speak lovingly about your partner, highlighting all their wonderful qualities. But after experiencing their harsh words during luteal phase, they struggle to trust the authenticity of your affection. How can the same person who called them manipulative also genuinely believe they're amazing? This contradiction undermines trust at the foundation of your connection.I often use a powerful metaphor with my clients: imagine each hurtful word as a rock placed in your backpack. Over months or years together, that backpack becomes unbearably heavy as you collect and carry these word curses with you. The relationship feels impossibly difficult not because you don't love each other, but because you're both weighed down by the accumulated pain of words spoken.Breaking free requires recognizing that you cannot "out-action" hurtful words. No amount of loving behavior can erase their impact without directly addressing them. You must identify the source of these negative statements, challenge their validity, consistently speak life instead of death into your relationship, and practice daily forgiveness. Only by removing these rocks one by one can you both find the freedom to move forward together.Ready to transform your relationship by breaking these word curses?

Don thine helmet and draw thy sword, for this week on Blocked And Reported, we defend our honor! First, Katie Herzog duketh it out with Jesse Singal to determine who shall inherit the kingdom of Blocked And Reported in the event one of them should die. Then, Jesse attacketh the honor of Ed Yong, highly decorated knight of journalism and recipient of a Pulitzer medal. Alas, Jesse striketh at his most subpar front-page article for The Atlantic, laying bare its inaccuracy for all to see. Then, the denizens of Twitter come after Jesse Singal for his coverage of the St. Louis Transgender Center. After Jamie Reed laid bare its most dishonorable treatment of trans children, it attempteth to repair its honor by investigating itself and finding itself innocent! But by doing so, our intrepid duo expose even more of its dishonest acts…And finally, TikToker @jackielabonita is mocked at a baseball game, leading the dezinens of the ‘net to come to the defense of the poor maiden's honor — including none other than legendary bard Cardius of B. But why hath honor culture suddenly returned to America of all places? What if it were white women who hath mocked a black woman? Do Jewish gamers have honor culture?

The following episode contains material that may be upsetting to some listeners, including violence, and the death of a minor. Please take care of yourself as you listen. Bronagh has spent a month settling into her new, very rushed marriage to Cairbre, whom she knew in childhood but has not seen since. Her grandmother, Ealga, had two intentions for the marriage: 1. To protect Bronagh from Seamus, a seer (or Sibyl) in their own tribe, who threatened to kill Bronagh out of fear that she would fulfill his terrifying prophecy.2. To broker peace between the Innis tribe and the rival tribe of which Cairbre is a part, the Gheardaig. Today's episode features a phenomenal sound effect from cylon8472 on FreeSound.org.
