Moc. Loose. Collectors. Forever.This week on The FigGuys, Mike and Tom deliver one of the most emotional, reflective, and honest conversations in the history of the show with “The Last Time Has Come: A Celebration of John Cena.”Coming off a truly historic Saturday Night's Main Event, we break down the moment the wrestling world collectively held its breath as John Cena competed in what may be the final match of his career. From the entrance, to the salute, to the shocking tap-out finish, we talk about why this ending — even if it wasn't the one fans wanted — was the one that made the most sense.We discuss:Why Cena choosing to tap out was poetic, powerful, and completely on brandHow the match told a story of acceptance, legacy, and knowing when it's timeThe emotion of watching Cena's farewell with family, kids, and memories tied to parents and past erasWhy this moment hit differently than other retirements — and why fans weren't ready for itHow Saturday Night's Main Event felt special again, and what that means for WWE moving forwardIn this week's Wrestling Figure News, the Cena conversation continues from the ring to the shelves as we dig into the collector side of the moment, including:A deep discussion on the John Cena “The Last Time Is Now” Ultimate Edition, its presentation, new torso, soft-goods towel, and overall importance as a career-defining releaseTalk about Cena's final-match gear, the armband debate, and how closely the figure reflects what he actually wore in the ringWhy this is a figure collectors shouldn't wait on — and how missing pre-orders leads to instant regretBroader collector talk around recent Elite and Ultimate Edition releases and how real-time wrestling moments elevate figure value and meaningFrom Cena's legacy as the ultimate giver to the business, to the emotional impact of owning figures tied to moments we lived through, this episode captures exactly why wrestling — and collecting — matters.John Cena didn't just have a final match. He gave us one last unforgettable moment.

Student loans aren't just a financial obligation — they're a moving target. Rules shift, repayment plans evolve, forgiveness programs get redefined, and big deadlines are on the horizon. To help make sense of it all, Melissa Joy, CFP®, sits down with student loan expert David Gourley, founder of K-12 Planning, to break down the latest changes and what they mean for borrowers today.David brings deep expertise from years of helping educators, public service professionals, and families navigate the student loan maze. Together, Melissa and David walk through what's stable, what's shifting, and what borrowers need to pay attention to right now — especially as 2026 brings some of the biggest changes we've seen in years.They explore why Public Service Loan Forgiveness remains intact (despite the headlines), the critical steps Parent PLUS borrowers must take before federal doors close, and how the upcoming Repayment Assistance Program (RAP) could reshape long-term planning for millions. David also shares the little-known strategies around tax filing, repayment timing, and consolidation that can dramatically change someone's loan trajectory.Highlights include:Why PSLF is not going away — and who still qualifiesHow adjunct professors can use a multiplier to qualify as full-timeThe crucial July 1, 2026 deadline for Parent PLUS consolidationWhat RAP is, how it compares to IBR, and why timing matters for borrowersHow long-term forgiveness works (20, 25, or 30 years) — and when it may be taxableHow filing taxes married filing separately can significantly reduce paymentsThe risks of relying on lower payments when interest continues to growWhat changes to borrowing limits mean for grad students and parentsWhen refinancing to a private loan may actually make senseHow to plan ahead when student loan rules continue to evolveIf you're navigating repayment, planning for forgiveness, or preparing to send a child to college, this conversation offers clarity in a landscape that rarely stands still. Melissa and David bring the context, strategy, and grounded perspective borrowers need to make confident decisions — today and in the years ahead.The previous presentation by PEARL PLANNING was intended for general information purposes only.

Playing Bigger isn't about blowing up your life.It's not about hustling harder.And it's definitely not about 10X-ing everything overnight.In this very first episode of The Play Bigger Podcast, I'm having an honest conversation about something most high achievers don't want to admit: the quiet, hidden cost of playing small.On the outside, it can look like success. You have clients. You're busy. The calendar is full. Money is coming in. But on the inside… you know you're operating beneath your true capacity.In this episode, I break down the real price you pay when you delay tough decisions, stay the bottleneck, avoid visibility, or keep telling yourself, “I'll build it later.” I also share exactly how this showed up in my own journey—even at high levels of success.This isn't about motivation.This is about standards. And the question is simple: Are you willing to raise yours?If you've been feeling a quiet tension between where you are and where you know you're capable of going—this episode will hit different.Things I Cover in This EpisodeWhat playing small actually looks like for high performersThe 5 real costs of playing small:Financial costTime costEmotional costIdentity costLegacy costWhy exhaustion and playing small can exist at the same timeThe difference between operator thinking vs. CEO thinkingHow high achievers get stuck longer than anyone elseThe danger of “successful dysfunction”My personal seasons of playing small (even while producing big)The fear behind staying private, avoiding visibility, and delaying leverageA powerful self-audit to reveal where you're cappedWhat playing bigger truly means (without chaos or burnout)The one decision that can shift your entire next chapterIf this episode challenged you in the best way, here's your move:Pick one area where you've been playing small.Make one bold decision this week that moves you into alignment.If you're ready to scale with structure, clarity, and strategy, explore what we're building at letsplaybigger.comAnd if this episode hit home, share it with someone who needs the push.---Thank you for joining me on this episode of Play Bigger with Raquel Quinet, and remember, keep pushing your limits to achieve your goals.For updates and collaborations or opportunities, go to www.LetsPlayBigger.comFind more resources on our websitehttps://raquelq.com/podcast/Follow Raquel on Raquel Quinet's socials:Instagram | YouTube | Facebook | LinkedInCheck Out Our2025 Play Bigger EventsApply to be in our Play Bigger MastermindGrow Your Real Estate Business with Real BrokerageJoin our Facebook Play Bigger Community

What most women call overwhelm or anxiety is often something deeper: emotional burnout — the kind that happens when you've spent years trying to tolerate your emotions instead of learning how to expand your capacity for them.In today's episode, I'm sharing a private training from the podcast I create exclusively for my clients. We're breaking down the real difference between emotional tolerance (the rigid, finite jar that eventually cracks) and emotional capacity (the flexible container you can actually grow).You'll learn:Why simply “tolerating” your emotions exhausts youThe glass-jar metaphor that explains emotional burnout perfectlyWhat true emotional capacity looks like — and why it's a skill, not a personality traitHow nervous system regulation expands your capacity in real timeThe 4 pillars of capacity-building (regulation, nature, pleasure, and thought quality)How to stop outsourcing control and reclaim it in a way that's actually sustainableSimple daily practices to grow your internal bandwidth so you don't get knocked over by lifeIf you've felt like you're at the end of your rope — irritated, overstimulated, or one small thing away from snapping — this episode will help you understand why… and what to do next.✨ Want this level of support every week?This episode comes from the private podcast feed I create for my 1:1 coaching clients — the kind of deep, practical emotional work we do together.If you want to explore the ways you can work with me, head to:

Most chiropractors think the answer is “more”: more staff, more hours, more moving parts.In this episode, Martin sits down with Kirsti Janse Van Vuuren, a UK chiropractor who did the opposite. She stripped her practice back to something rare in 2025: a purely principled, subluxation-focused, no-staff practice that still creates real impact… and leaves her with time and headspace for her kids and her life.We get into:How she moved from a pain-based, mechanistic model to a principled, subluxation-centred oneWhy she deliberately chose a solo, staff-free practice (and how she makes it work)“Structure craetes freedom” — the scheduling and systems that protect both her patients and her family timeThe role of mentorship and peer groups in keeping you grounded, growing, and not lonelyHow she handles lifestyle conversations while staying focused on chiropractic's distinct purposeThe books, mentors, and frameworks that shaped her thinkingIf you've ever thought, “There has to be a simpler, more principled way to practice,” this episode will give you a real-world example of what that actually looks like.Check out the Retention Recipe https://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/courses/retention-recipe-2-0To learn more about Reactivate to Accelerate https://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/courses/reactivateLearn more about Daily Visit Communication 2.0https://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/courses/daily-visitEmail me - martin@insideoutpractices.com

In this episode, Dr Jodi Richardson welcomes Dr Lexi Frydenberg, a pediatrician with over 20 years of clinical experience working with children and families at a large pediatric hospital in Melbourne and the Victorian Children's Clinic.Dr Frydenberg shares what she's seeing in the clinic and how anxiety in children has changed, particularly post-COVID. She explains how anxiety often shows up in ways parents might not expect - through behavioral challenges, tummy aches, headaches, and school refusal - rather than children simply saying "I'm anxious."In this conversation, they discuss:How young children are now presenting with anxiety (younger than the traditional tween years)The three main ways anxiety presents in children: somatic symptoms, articulated worries, and behavioral challengesWhy it's important not to rush to label children with diagnosesThe concept of anticipatory anxiety and how labels can become self-fulfilling propheciesPractical first steps for parents: recognition, education, and having conversations at the right timeThe power of "catching them being good" and focusing on strengths over challenging behaviorsCo-regulation: how parents need to regulate themselves first before helping their childThe fine line between helicopter/lawnmower parenting and teaching resilienceGraded exposure with practical examples (like food-related anxiety)Why celebrating small wins matters more than achieving the end goalDr Frydenberg emphasizes that anxiety is a normal, protective response we all experience, but offers clear guidance on when it's gone too far and practical strategies families can use while waiting for professional support.This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Join us next week for Part 2, where Dr Frydenberg discusses the roles of different practitioners, when medication might be helpful, and what to do when teens refuse to talk.Resources mentioned: https://www.rch.org.au/kidsinfo/anxiety/ https://mentalhealth.melbournechildrens.com/media/kiuftzzo/mhs_childhood-anxiety_guide_e-single.pdf Raising Children’s Network: https://raisingchildren.net.au/ Anxiety and fears in children (0-8 years) Generalised anxiety in children (3-8 years) Anxiety: the stepladder approach (3-18 years) Raising Healthy Minds AppBeyond BlueReach OutThe BRAVE ProgramShow less 54Sheet1See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the DCS Podcast, we unpack a pattern that shows up over and over again with students inside DCS and in the journey of so many coaches: taking breaks from your business without even realizing it.You'll learn the difference between intentional and unintentional breaks in your coaching business, and why unintentional breaks quietly erode your confidence, consistency, and results. You'll hear a personal story about a season where the business looked “consistent” on the outside—posts were going up, clients were being coached—but the energy, leadership, and enthusiasm were completely offline. That was actually an unknown, unintentional break.Using simple analogies (like a clothing store that says “Open” but has no merchandise inside), this episode helps you see where this might be happening in your own business and how to get back into aligned, belief-shifting action. You'll also get a practical “break diagnostic” you can use right now to identify what kind of break you're in and how to convert an unintentional break into a healthy, intentional one.If you've ever felt guilty for needing rest, or confused about why you're “doing all the things” but not seeing the results you want, this episode will feel like a deep breath and a reset.In This Episode, You'll Learn:The three types of breaks in your business:Intentional breaksKnown unintentional breaksUnknown unintentional breaksWhy intentional breaks are not only healthy but necessary when your brain is the primary “equipment” in your coaching businessHow unintentional breaks:Often start as “just procrastination”Quietly become emotional avoidanceLead to more shame, guilt, and avoidance over timeThe powerful analogy of:A store with a “Closed” sign (known unintentional break)A store that says “Open” but has no clothes inside (unknown unintentional break)The three core thoughts that usually fuel unintentional breaks:“This isn't working.”“This should be easier.”“No one wants what I have to offer.”How these thoughts, when avoided, harden into beliefs and start to define your identity as a coachWhat it looks like to be:Busy and “doing all the things”But not actually selling, leading, or shifting beliefsThe Break Diagnostic:How to scan your behavior (Are you actually showing up? Are you selling?)How to scan your story (Are you grounded, or stuck in confusion/blame?)How to scan your self-coaching (Are you going deep, or only asking surface strategy questions?)How to convert an unintentional break into an intentional one, build clean boundaries around it, and return to your business feeling grounded, clear, and refreshed instead of ashamed or behindIf you realized you might be on an unintentional break, or you want to lead your coaching business with more clarity, mastery, and emotional congruence — make sure you're subscribed to the DCS Podcast and share this episode with another physician coach who needs it. Let's Connect: On Instagram On Facebook On LinkedIn On TikTok On my website

If the weight of waiting has ever felt crushing…if your desires feel delayed…if your suffering feels like, “Lord, I can't do this anymore”, this episode is for you.In this first week of Advent, we talk honestly about the ache of longing and the places in our lives that feel heavy. But we also talk about the God who meets us there, who gives us grace for the long haul, who replaces our faint, weary hearts with “long-lasting batteries,” and who teaches us to hope again.We explore:The weight of waiting and how the Lord strengthens us in seasons of sufferingWhat happens when God invites us to name our desires with hope, not resignationHow Advent calls us to slow down, unclench our calendars, and step into sacred timeThe difference between external “liturgical living” and the gentle interior rhythm of graceWhy even the smallest shifts in prayer can reorient our hearts in profound waysHow the Lord is doing deep work in our souls—often beyond what words can describeAdvent isn't about striving. It's about letting ourselves be carried, like a leaf on the river of God's grace, toward the heart of the Father, toward the eternity we long for, and toward the desires He Himself placed within us.So if you're longing… aching… hoping… or simply tired, come sit with us. There are graces available in this Advent, in this moment, that have never been available before.We're so glad you're here.

Indiana suffered its first loss of the season, falling 73-64 at Minnesota in the Big Ten opener as the Hoosiers struggled with execution and physicality throughout while shooting just 40% from the field, 29.6% from three, and a dismal 60% from the free throw line. A blocked dunk attempt by Tucker DeVries late in the first half shifted momentum to Minnesota, and despite multiple opportunities to seize control, Indiana looked unfocused and rattled on the road for the first time under Darian DeVries.Andy, Coach Tonsoni, and Ryan break down a disappointing performance where Indiana did many things poorly but still had chances to win, examining what went wrong and how this veteran team needs to respond against Louisville on Saturday.The blocked DeVries dunk that changed the game's complexion, followed by Indiana putting Minnesota on the free throw line five straight possessions while going scoreless themselvesTayton Conerway's team-high 18 points in just 23 minutes as the only player consistently creating his own shot, raising questions about extended bench timeThe fatal free throw shooting (12-20, including 3-10 to start the second half) when Indiana had Minnesota's bigs in deep foul troubleLamar Wilkerson's gutsy second-half stretch hitting a three, blocking a shot, and getting a steal despite being blocked at the rim multiple timesSam Alexis's strong performance (10 points, 5-7 shooting) compared to Reed Bailey's struggles, highlighting the ongoing center rotation questionsThe stagnant offense managing just eight assists while failing to sustain defensive intensity or execute despite various adjustments from DeVriesMinnesota controlling tempo and out-rebounding Indiana 40-25 while holding them to just three fast break pointsAll that and more on this edition of The Assembly Call.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today Kristen Boss pulls back the curtain on a common struggle so many high-achievers face which is being addicted to the idea of transformation rather than the actual process of it.If you're someone who constantly finds themselves buying planners, signing up for new programs, and telling yourself, “This time will be different” only to fizzle out days later? This episode is a must-listen. Kristen introduces the concept of the “Hope Hustler”: someone hooked on the emotional high of fresh starts but who struggles to stay committed when the novelty wears off.She breaks down the psychology behind this pattern, the nervous system's role in resistance, and how our obsession with speed and excitement keeps us from real transformation. Kristen also outlines a better way forward — one that prioritizes sustainability, nervous system regulation, and a grounded approach to growth.Key Takeaways:Why dopamine and novelty trick us into starting but not finishingHow being a “Hope Hustler” erodes self-trust over timeThe four nervous system stress responses (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) and how they show up in goal-settingWhy tolerating boredom is essential for long-term successThe true cost of chasing intensity over intentionalityHow to build a relationship with process, not just outcomesResources & Links:If you're a Hope Hustler, you need to be at the 3-Day Success Rewire Challenge happening December 8-10th!

Hey friend,We all know the ache of unanswered prayer, the kind that keeps us up at 2 a.m., whispering desperate prayers into the dark. This week on the podcast, I sat down with Kara Stout, who knows that ache all too well. From infertility and adoption to financial stress and deep grief, Kara's story is one of wrestling with disappointment, surrendering expectations, and still choosing to trust a good and faithful God.This conversation is for anyone who's walked through the valley and wondered if God was still near. Kara gently reminds us: He is. Even when it hurts.Here are a few things we talk about:What it looks like to pray through grief instead of performing for GodHow to hold space for fear, faith, and surrender at the same timeThe simple but powerful gift of morning and evening prayer rhythmsWhy honesty with God invites deeper healingKara Stout is a writer, speaker, wife, and mom who has walked through more than her share of heartache, but she's also found the beauty of God's nearness in it all. Her new devotional, An Untroubled Heart, is a 30-day prayer guide to help you start and end your days grounded in God's presence. She is passionate about helping women grow deeper roots of faith even in hard seasons.Let this episode remind you that unanswered prayer doesn't mean unseen pain—and healing often begins in the honesty of the wait.With love,StephConnect with KaraKaraStout.comInstagramFacebookResources MentionedAn Untroubled Heart bookChristian Parenting resourcesChristian Parenting Christmas Gift GuidePrefer video?

In this episode, I'm bringing you a powerful conversation with someone I've had the absolute privilege of working with over the last year and a half: Katherine Powers, Executive Director at Pacific Opera Project (POP). Katherine's story is one of real transformation — as a leader, as a fundraiser, and as a steward of a growing arts organization that's doing incredible, joyful, boundary-pushing work in Los Angeles.When Katherine stepped into the ED role, she had no fundraising experience and very little time to figure it out. But what she did have was determination, curiosity, and a willingness to learn. In our conversation, she shares honestly about what it was like to come into major gifts as a total beginner, why fundraising initially terrified her, and what shifted once she began learning a clear framework and building her confidence.We talk through the mindset changes that helped her grow POP's contributed revenue from under $200k to over $400k a year — in just a couple of years — including closing multiple $50k gifts and preparing for POP's first-ever six-figure solicitation. She gets into the practical steps she took, the scripts and tools that helped her, and the moments where she realized she was becoming the kind of leader who could ask boldly and lead her board and donors with clarity and vision.I love this conversation so much because Katherine's story proves what I deeply believe: when you have the right model and the right support, you can learn how to raise transformational money — even if you're a one-person development shop doing five other jobs at the same time.In this episode, you'll learn:How Katherine went from “I never want to ask for money” to confidently closing $50k giftsThe mindset shifts that unlocked her ability to lead boldly and fundraise effectivelyWhy major gifts became POP's biggest opportunity — and how she structured her timeThe exact tools and frameworks she used to make her first successful asksHow her transformation changed her board's culture, donor relationships, and the organization's trajectoryWhy investing in her own development helped the entire organization growThe revenue growth POP has experienced and what that means for their community, staff, and artistsThis episode is such an encouragement if you're a solo ED, a first-time fundraiser, or someone who knows major gifts is the next step — but aren't sure how to start. Katherine's story is proof that you can learn this, and you can thrive in it.Want 15 leads in 5 minutes?

You know the one. The place where you're doing “all the right things,” visualizing your future, working toward the goal… but your current reality still looks nothing like what you're calling in. This episode is a full-on recalibration for that moment.

In this episode, we explore one of the most common and complex questions I hear: Can organic agriculture really feed the world?With so much skepticism surrounding sustainable farming, we take a data-informed look at what this question really means, and what's hidden between the lines. I break down why the data often appears skewed, how conventional yields decline over time, and why the conversation about global food supply must include issues of distribution, waste, and sovereignty.I encourage you to expand your perspective beyond yield numbers to the deeper systems that determine how food is produced, valued, and shared. What kind of food are we really talking about when we ask whether organic agriculture can “feed the world”? And could it be that we already grow more than enough?Tune in to learn more about:Why skepticism around organic agriculture persistsHow to read between the lines of agricultural dataThe difference between productivity and true sustainabilityWhy conventional yields decline over timeThe importance of biodiversity and soil healthThe global reality of food waste and inequitable distributionHow efficiency in the current system hides deep inefficiencyWhat food sovereignty really means, and why it mattersWhy regenerative and organic agriculture aren't just possible, but essential...

Product marketing—marketing's favorite misunderstood stepchild or just expensive project management in disguise? Pranav Piyush (ex-Dropbox, ex-Bill, founder of Paramark) joins the crew to drop some inconvenient truths: most PMMs are stuck doing thankless work because nobody knows who actually runs the business.

There is nothing more frustrating than watching your gymnast freeze on a skill they know how to do. One day it looks easy, and the next day, fear and hesitation take over. It can leave both of you confused and unsure how to help.In this week's episode of the PerformHappy Podcast, I talk about the things that actually make mental blocks worse and what to do instead. Around this time of year, I call it Nervous November because fears seem to grow stronger and confidence can feel shaky. The good news is that there are small changes that make a big difference.The first mistake to stop making is taking long breaks from the skill. Avoiding it feels easier, but it only keeps the fear alive. Instead, find a safe version of the skill and work there. Confidence grows when your gymnast can stretch their comfort zone without feeling overwhelmed.The second thing to stop doing is trying to trick the brain. Fear is not something to fight or ignore. It is the brain's way of saying, “Let's slow down and check if this is safe.” When you listen to that signal and take small steps forward, progress comes faster.Bribes and threats do not work either. Saying things like “You can't leave until you do it” or offering a reward adds pressure. Mental blocks are not a motivation problem. Your gymnast already wants it. What helps most is calm support and patience.In this episode, I share• Why avoiding skills keeps fear alive • Why tricking your brain backfires • Why pressure and bribes slow down progress • How to help your gymnast rebuild confidence one step at a timeThe best way through a mental block is not to fight it but to understand it. When you listen to your brain, take small steps, and stay patient, confidence will return. — Rebecca SmithLearn exactly what to say and do to guide your athlete through a mental block with my new book "Parenting Through Mental Blocks" Order your copy today: https://a.co/d/g990BurFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/complete_performance/ Join my FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/completeperformancecoaching/ Check out my website: https://completeperformancecoaching.com/Write to me!
