In this episode, Dr. David Jockers sits down with Vanessa Spina, sports nutrition specialist, bestselling author of Keto Essentials, creator of the Tone ketone breath analyzer, and host of the Optimal Protein Podcast, for a deep dive on a groundbreaking new study out of the University of Nottingham, published in Clinical Nutrition in August 2025. You will learn why the old "you can only absorb 30 grams of protein per meal" rule doesn't hold up, what really happens to protein you eat beyond that amount, and why the popular anabolic-window advice to slam a shake right after your workout is largely a myth. Dr. Jockers and Vanessa then break down a randomized, controlled fasting-mimicking diet study that overturns the long-held belief that high protein blocks autophagy, and explain why a high-protein, calorie-restricted approach can outperform a low-protein one for visceral fat loss, ketone production, and metabolic health.  They close with a practical, hour-by-hour walkthrough of the protein-sparing modified fast (PSMF): what to eat, how much protein to target, how to structure refeed days, and how it compares to water fasting and Ozempic for appetite control.   In This Episode:  00:00 Protein Absorption Myth 00:14 Episode Intro and Study Teaser 05:29 Meet Vanessa and Study Setup 07:35 100g Protein Study Breakdown 12:17 Protein Timing and Real Life 17:48 Protein First for Satiety 23:55 Ketones and High Protein Keto 28:10 Stress Hormones and Growth Hormone 31:58 Autophagy Study Lead In 33:12 Why Human Trials Matter 34:52 Autophagy Headlines vs Reality 35:54 High Protein FMD Study Setup 39:01 Autophagy Still Upregulated 40:53 Visceral Fat and Metabolic Wins 44:12 PSMF One Day Weekly 44:58 Vanessa PSMF Results 47:22 Meals Macros and Refeeds 51:21 Ketones Hunger and Ozempic 55:27 Weekly Schedule and Whoosh 58:26 PSMF Meal Ideas and Tips 01:04:06 Water Fast vs PSMF 01:05:54 Wrap Up and Where to Find 01:06:56 Final Listener Outro   This podcast is sponsored by Paleo Valley's Turmeric Complex, a whole-food organic turmeric formula (not just isolated curcumin) blended with coconut oil and black pepper for absorption, plus ginger, rosemary, and cloves for extra anti-inflammatory and brain-support benefits.

Ever questioned whether true magic is something you were born with or something the world conditioned right out of you? Tahverlee challenges the myth that only the “chosen” or innately gifted hold the keys to spiritual power. Step across the veil and discover what happens when you start to remember the capabilities you've had all along, and what it really takes to reclaim your magic in a world designed to keep you small.Here's a sneak peek:Why your magic was never gone, just buried beneath generations of expectations, norms, and conditioning.Untangling the web of beliefs tying down your spiritual gifts, and how “remembering” is the true essence of awakening.The relationship between grounding, daily rituals, and the power of spellcasting; why magic without deep self-connection rarely sticks.Tips for stepping out of the matrix, auditing your beliefs, and building a practice rooted in personal power, ritual, and aligned action.You don't need a special lineage for this journey—just a desire to know yourself and a willingness to engage the mysteries. Start untraining the world out of you and step fully into your craft.***********************************************************************************Continue your magical journey…Walk the High Priestess / High Priest PathJoin Tahverlee inside Moon Temple Mystery School for classes, community, rituals, and deeper teachings on witchcraft, magic, and spiritual awakening.Discover Tahverlee's books and oracle deck at Tahverlee.com.Meet Tahverlee in person at Upcoming EventsReceive Free Resources for your magical awakening.

The FCC has adopted new cybersecurity requirements for Emergency Alert System equipment—but turning the language of a Report and Order into practical procedures at a real broadcast facility isn’t always straightforward. What equipment is covered? What constitutes adequate protection? And how can broadcasters comply without making their systems needlessly difficult to operate and maintain? This week, Kirk Harnack welcomes Shane Toven, the new West Coast Regional Engineer for Cumulus Media. Together, they examine the FCC’s EAS cybersecurity rules and discuss what sensible, real-world compliance might look like inside today’s increasingly networked broadcast facilities. Shane’s new position also leads to a larger conversation about the changing role of the broadcast engineer. As companies consolidate technical responsibilities across more stations, markets, and transmitter sites, experienced engineers are being asked to oversee far more territory—and a much wider range of technologies—than ever before. Then we move from the equipment room to the sound console. Shane shares lessons from mixing live worship services, including some of the challenges a broadcast engineer may encounter when everyone assumes that knowing audio technology automatically means knowing how to mix a live performance. Add in a couple of excellent Tips of the Week, and you have a wide-ranging conversation covering cybersecurity, broadcast engineering’s evolving responsibilities, and the art of making live sound work.

In Episode 272: Contention vs. Conversation, I explore a question that has come up repeatedly in my coaching sessions with missionaries: Does avoiding difficult conversations really create peace? Many missionaries have been taught that contention is not of Christ, but sometimes that belief leads them to stay silent, hide their thoughts, or avoid necessary conversations altogether. In this episode, we look more closely at what the scriptures actually teach about contention and why disagreement isn't the same thing as being contentious. Together, we'll explore the difference between cowering, controlling, and collaborating—three very different ways of approaching conflict and communication. I explain why shrinking yourself isn't the same as meekness, why trying to force someone to agree with you isn't Christlike leadership, and how healthy conversations can preserve both honesty and agency. We'll also look at Doctrine and Covenants 121, discuss the emotions that fuel our conversations, and walk through practical questions you can ask yourself before deciding whether a difficult conversation is necessary. If you've ever worried that speaking up might create contention, or if you've struggled to know when to have a conversation and when to simply let something go, I hope Episode 272: Contention vs. Conversation gives you greater clarity and confidence. My hope is that you'll discover that true peace isn't created by avoiding hard conversations—it's created by approaching them with humility, love, and a willingness to collaborate rather than control. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did.

This episode is a continuation of the step work I've been doing with friend Sonia Kahlon the host of the Sisters In Sobriety Podcast. We've both been getting really positive feedback so I'm excited to share this one with you!   Today we dig into Step Six: which is "Were entirely ready to have God remove our character defects" Let me say right off the bat, that we do address that term "character defects" and offer maybe more palatable phrasing, so if that bothers you just know it doesn't have to be a barrier.    In this episode, you'll learn: Why Step Six is really the "ish" step, and what that means for perfectionism in recovery How envy quietly becomes the thief of joy Why resentments build like pebbles in a sack until we collapse under the weight What internal family systems work (and "Manager Marge") looks like on an anxious morning   If you find this podcast helpful in any way, please share it with a friend! And if you haven't watched these on YouTube yet, I highly recommend it. Be sure to subscribe and all that stuff. It really helps me get the message of recovery out to those who need it most.   So without further delay, please enjoy this episode with Sonia!

Last year he sold and installed $1,011,000 in electrical — out of one van. Mike Howie is a service technician at Travis Electrical Service in Clarksville, Tennessee. He does the selling and splits the installs 50-50. He did $612,000 one year and $1,011,000 the next — two years into residential service, in a middle-America market. He had about ten years in electrical first: an industrial apprenticeship, then a service shop that, in his words, “threw you out in the wind.” A three-week job became seven unpaid weeks in Texas and Oregon. He nearly lost the house, his wife's car was impounded, and he lost his mom in the middle of it. He found Travis on Indeed, emailed the owner's wife from Oregon, and she kept telling him one thing: “Just get home.” Then six months of ride-alongs and CertainPath training before anyone handed him a van. What changed between $612,000 and $1,011,000 was operational as much as personal. Travis added installers halfway through the year, anything over $1,000 started handing off, and Mike got into more houses. The rest of this conversation with host Bob Houchin is his entire service call, line by line. In this conversation, you'll discover: • Why adding an install team took him from $612,000 to $1,011,000 • The six-month onboarding most owners skip — and what that patience actually bought • Why he never finishes the troubleshoot, and the one question he asks instead • The chain-link analogy that makes a backstabbed outlet obvious to a homeowner • How he positions financing before the sticker shock lands • “First person that talks loses” — and the fifteen minutes he sat in total silence Whether you run an electrical, HVAC, plumbing, or roofing company, Mike's process shows how one well-trained technician turns ordinary service calls into a million dollars a year. Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.

Being a content creator or influencer means wearing ALL the hats. Creating content, pitching brands, answering emails, researching opportunities, posting across platforms... the list never ends.But working hard doesn't mean you need to waste hours on tasks that could be batched, automated, or streamlined. In this episode, I'm sharing the time-saving strategies that I use at Sidewalker Daily, along with the productivity tips creators in our community are using to make their workflows more efficient. We're talking about everything from finding brand opportunities without hours of research and building a pitch template that actually works to batching your outreach, creating a content idea bank, repurposing content, automating emails, limiting distractions, and using accountability to actually get things DONE.The goal isn't to work less. It's to stop wasting your time on things you don't need to be doing manually.

October 27, 2006. Sacramento County, California. While performing his overnight patrol duty for the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department, 38-year old Deputy Sheriff Jeffrey Mitchell sends a message to dispatch that he has pulled over a white Chevrolet van with no plates in a rural area. Minutes later, a clicking noise is heard on the radio and Jeffrey is soon found dead on the ground behind his patrol car, as it turns out he had gotten into a violent struggle before he was shot in the head with his own service revolver. Twelve hours later, a white Chevrolet van containing the bodies of 43-year old Allan Shubert and 28-year old Nicole Welch is found in the Cosumnes River over 20 miles away and it is determined that they succumbed to carbon monoxide poisoning. Over the years, law enforcement explores the possibility that Allan and Nicole's deaths are connected to Jeffrey's murder, but no conclusive answers can be found. On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore the bizarre murder of a police officer and the deaths of two other potential victims which have gone unsolved for two decades. So you have any information about this case, please contact the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department Cold Case Homicide Unit at 916-874-5057 or their tip line at 916-874-TIPS (8477).

At 26, Matty Parker was locked into a Pilbara mining job. He came over for one Coral Sea trip, went home, sold everything inside a couple of months, and drove across Australia to get out of the golden handcuffs. Twenty-five years of spearing later he manages Divers World in Cairns — the biggest and longest-running shop up that way — and runs MBP Spearfishing Charters, and he's the bloke every local kept telling Shrek to interview. This one gets into the weeds properly: his entire dogtooth setup top to tail, the three-point brief he gives clients before a Coral Sea drift ("when you think you're closer, get closer again"), why he keeps a scorecard of every fish landed and lost and what one-in-three actually looks like, the 10–30kg window where doggies get eaten fastest, and why he moves off a spot the moment it fires. There's also a proper, unflinching yarn about the shark situation in North Queensland after an ugly year for Aussie spearos, and Matty's flat-out best answer of the episode — what it costs you to spend two years shooting fish in eight metres. Cost 'em nothing. Gain everything. If you're saving for a blue water trip, thinking about your first big gun, or you just want to hear a bloke who's put in the hours talk about hunting instead of depth numbers, this one's for you. Matty Parker @mbp_spearfishing Spearfishing Gallery (Add guest photos here) Important Timestamps 00:00:44 — Shrek sets up the episode: dogtooth gear, guiding pitfalls, social media's grip on spearos, and the shark conversation nobody wants to have 00:01:20 — Free shout out to Spearo App, a completely free spearfishing forecasting app, and the level of detail that gobsmacked Shrek 00:03:00 — Fish One Hook's power band size calculator, plus the free Noob Spearo scorecards at spearfishingcourses.com.au/scorecard 00:05:34 — Matty comes highly recommended — Shrek explains who kept telling him to get Matty on the show 00:06:49 — Started spearing at 10 in a small northern WA town; the Coral Sea trip at 26 that made him sell up and drive across Australia away from the golden handcuffs of mining 00:09:13 — Why "the trip of a lifetime" is the wrong mindset to bring on charter, and what the fish actually are (a bonus) 00:11:01 — WA vs the East Coast: fish density and shore access over there, weather-dependent reef trips over here 00:13:05 — Seven trout a day in Queensland is "astronomical", and why the North QLD weather is a green zone in itself 00:14:12 — His first Coral Sea mission: two doggies landed before he lost one, then the figures went backwards fast 00:15:07 — Why hiding your gear from other spearos isn't okay — shot placement and gear are the only two things we control, so share them 00:18:22 — THE FULL DOGTOOTH RIG, TOP TO TAIL: a 130–150cm conventional gun (he runs a 70" Riffe Rader), three or four 16mm rubbers, 8.7mm shaft, slip tip, 23m float line, a 3-atmosphere float, a short 2–5m line, and a second 3-atmosphere float. Nothing else 00:21:19 — The shot-placement point most people miss: all that gun power is for getting through a foot-and-a-half of fish, not for taking longer shots 00:22:14 — Stone shots, the anti-climax-then-relief feeling, and why hearing the boys screaming on the surface is the best part 00:23:25 — "Doggies bring out the best and the worst in everyone" — diving on each other and shooting each other's fish vs. proper team work 00:25:33 — What happens in the first 60 seconds after the shot: withstand the first run, then get it up fast, because that's when they get eaten 00:26:31 — Matty's shark theory — the 10–30kg window where doggies are too strong to overpower but small enough for sharks to eat quickly, and why big fish often survive longer 00:27:28 — The scorecard he's kept since day one: every shot fired that doesn't end on the boat counts as a loss, and he's landing roughly one in three 00:29:42 — The three-point brief: get closer twice (take two more kicks when you think the shot's on), take your time, and work as a team 00:30:44 — Fish karma — why not taking the bad shot pays you back somewhere else, maybe a year later in another country 00:32:16 — There are blokes on Matty's list who can't buy their way back onto a trip 00:33:53 — Life in the shop at Divers World, and the pre-YouTube days of nagging the newsagent for the first-Thursday-of-the-month dive mag 00:35:00 — The apprenticeship problem: "everyone wants to be the tradesman and no one wants to do their apprenticeship" — plus 100 hours a year, five years, then start pushing depth 00:36:59 — An 8kg red doesn't taste as good as a 4kg red, so who exactly are you shooting big fish for? 00:37:20 — Matty's definition of a good spearo: someone who knows how to find fish and hunt them. That's it. "If you want to be a free diver, go be a free diver" 00:38:31 — Shrek on the gap between physiology and wisdom — you can learn to lay on the bottom in 20m quickly, but the ocean will still beat you 00:42:54 — Advice for green divers: pool training, join the club, then find one or two people at your level and grow together 00:43:11 — The self-check Matty runs on every dive: surface, look around, and if no one's within 20 metres you're only diving at 30% today 00:46:25 — How MBP started — the client on the tender who reignited it, four or five years of trips through the shop, then going out on his own 00:47:38 — His October 4–12 Coral Sea trip and the nine-day structure: steam out overnight, wake up in the Coral Sea, six full dive days 00:51:08 — Why the Coral Sea holds every Australian dogtooth record — the vis, the pinnacles rising from a kilometre of water, and how few boats actually get out there 00:52:14 — Doggies aren't migratory and aren't even tuna — they're mackerel (Gymnosarda unicolor), resident on their pinnacles, and Matty's seen the same fish a year apart 00:53:18 — When to be in the water: tide change, first light, and the golden hour on a shoal 00:55:00 — Why he never dives the same spot twice on a trip, even after a 20-fish afternoon — spread the pressure and the fish are there in three years 00:56:59 — Eating doggie: it freezes badly, ciguatera risk on the big models, sashimi most nights on the boat, and euro mounts for the jaws 00:59:28 — Burley and flashers: pilchards over fish frames (running a knife through fish aggravates sharks), and his basic buzz-bomb flasher with a knife jig and three double-sided mirrors 01:01:00 — Flash with purpose — "don't just do it because I said go over there and flash", plus why he stays on the flasher to call the dives 01:02:22 — Tracking a big gun with a breakaway: gun down, hand on the handle, and steering it through the water by the muzzle like a surfboard 01:04:21 — Finding the white dot on the tail knuckle in black water — and why the fish is invisible without it 01:05:39 — He works out every diver on the boat at the dinner the night before the charter 01:06:40 — "I won't shoot a doggy under 30 kilo" — how expectations set by social media wreck people's trips before they get wet 01:08:14 — Shrek's horror story: the charter client who wouldn't buddy up, 100 nautical miles offshore, and how far Shrek escalated it 01:11:33 — A week with no reception, and how the bloke you wanted to push over the side on day one is your mate by day four 01:13:52 — Shrek's vision statement — reconnecting people with themselves, their food, the natural world and each other 01:15:18 — Beyond doggies: red emperor, Maori sea perch, buffalo emperor, iron jaw and green job fish, plus the wahoo, yellowfin and marlin you have to go and hunt separately 01:16:37 — The 140–150kg marlin that snapped a straight shaft last year — another argument for slip tips 01:17:32 — Reading current in the Coral Sea (it's all ocean current, not tidal), and the October moon that fired then went dead five weeks later 01:19:59 — The Noob Spearo x MBP trip: a Great Barrier Reef trip heading north past Lizard Island in March 01:20:40 — What the B in MBP stands for, and the middle name Shrek and Matty share 01:21:43 — SHARKS: an ugly year for Aussie spearos, and Matty's honest read on why it's changed 01:22:03 — His two-part theory — social media virtue signalling plus an education gap — and the fact that a shark now has no commercial value in Australia 01:24:51 — Shrek's flake confession, and how spearos take an abundant freezer completely for granted 01:26:18 — The maths on shark bycatch, and how visibly the aggression has changed in the water in five years 01:27:57 — The angry email Shrek wrote about "just buy your fish from the supermarket" comments on dead divers' posts 01:29:53 — Matty's in-water protocol: he can read an area in ten minutes and pull everyone out. "There's no fish that's worth any part of my body" 01:31:06 — The reefs off Hinchinbrook with resident, territorial bull sharks, and bites that happened in 20m of vis 01:33:21 — Shark deterrents: no one wearing one has been bitten, the scorpion tail zapping you on the duck dive, and how confidence itself changes a shark's read on you 01:35:00 — Shrek gets charged on the bottom by a bull shark, and the seasons where he simply can't relax enough to dive properly 01:36:42 — The most dangerous thing beginners (and plenty of experienced blokes) do: gun handling, clipped guns pointing at the diver behind them, finger on the trigger 01:38:36 — The best answer of the episode: if you could only shoot fish in eight metres for the next two years, what does it cost you? "Cost 'em nothing. And you gain everything" 01:40:09 — Shrek's traditional ocean poo story request, answered from a back deck in California 01:41:16 — Where to find Matty and both trips, plus the price bracket 01:43:31 — Outro: Deep North with Matty and Shrek, March 2027 — spearfishingcourses.com.au/deepnorth Links Mentioned, Partner Deals and Discounts + Froth Connect with Matty Parker MBP Spearfishing Charters — Coral Sea and Great Barrier Reef charters out of Cairns Instagram: @mbp_spearfishing MBP Spearfishing Charters on Facebook Divers World Cairns — where Matty manages the shop

Two moms share what helped their daughters bounce back after a mistake.

“I've been, so one of my writer friends who I published, a guy called Ian Kerner, he was one of the producers behind “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley and “Stay Another Day” by Seventeen and Kylie. He was a big producer, and I took him to Eurovision. He was the first person I went with, and he turned to me and said, ‘This is the biggest thing I've ever done.' And I'm sitting there thinking, ‘But you were number one in America with Rick Astley.' Yet he's saying that he meant the show. The show was, ‘I've never been, it's like the Olympics. It's that big.' And then you want to go back every year. Every time I take someone new, they're like, ‘I'll come back next year. I'm trying to get in next year.'” – Greig WattsThis episode's guest is one half of the UK-based writing, production and publishing team DWB, and in recent years, he's successfully hosted several songwriting camps, catering to Asia and Eurovision. The triumph of these camps and the songs they produced has established him as an expert in the fields of songwriting for the Eurovision Song Contest. Since 2016, he's supervised eighteen Eurovision entries across eleven consecutive years, along with approximately 80 national finalists within that time frame. His expertise has also led to him becoming a sought-after conference speaker, panelist, and moderator; he was the Music Consultant for Eurovision for the BBC for 2019, and he's just released his first book, Keeping the Dream Alive, which has already become an Amazon bestseller.In this conversation, we explore the moments when he nearly walked away from music, the power of reconnecting with the sounds that first moved him, and why he believes creativity is less about ego and more about connection. His name is Greig Watts, and we talk about using Eurovision as a strategic launchpad and how understanding the business of music can protect the soul of it. If you've wondered how sound becomes strategy, or how resilience turns into resonance, this episode is for you.And if you like what you hear and you want to support this podcast, there are a bunch of ways to do that at audiobrandingpodcast.com, including subscribing to the YouTube channel, the newsletter, writing a review, or buying me a coffee. Because this takes a lot of coffee. Thanks so much.(00:00) – Greig's Transition to SongwritingOur conversation starts off with Greig's early memories of sound, particularly how, as a toddler, Manfred Mann's “Do Wah Diddy Diddy” became part of the soundtrack of his life. “Whenever I hear that song,” he explains, “my great-grandmother Goodman pops back into my head, and I can only have been three at the time, but it's a real, definite memory, and I think I've got lots of those memories.” Greig tells us how his career in sound began, including how he turned down a record deal as the lead singer to follow his true passion. “What I really wanted was the songwriting,” he tells us. “It wasn't to be a front person… I was kind of getting engaged to my first wife, and I was like, I don't really want to go to Japan and be a front person in a band. I want to be a songwriter.”(14:05) – Eurovision and the Global MarketGreig tells us about his work with Eurovision and what it's taught him about bringing new musical acts to the world. “We organized our own songwriting camp,” he recalls, “and asked people to come. Probably had thirty people out there, and that's how we got our first entry for Norway. And since then, we've had an entry every year, and actually we've had 18 entries in 11 years.” We discuss his work with boy bands, J-pop, and K-pop artists, and how the international pop scene's shifted in recent years. “Japanese [artists] don't tend to come out of Japan so much,” he explains. “It's a big market, they're not so bothered about that. But Korean culture, the government is funding Korean culture coming out. That's why we're getting, you know, Squid Game. That's why we get lots of Korean films.”(28:41) – Greig's Reflections on CreativityWe discuss how Greig's career almost took a turn away from sound, and what it took to bring him back into the industry. “Eventually, I kind of felt I needed to take a year off,” he tells us, “but I wasn't going to say that. I kind of knew it, and eventually, about two years later, my wife said, ‘You need to finish now. You need to go and take a year off.'" He talks about his foray into banking, and the breakthrough that cemented his career as a songwriter. “We did say, give me a year and if I'm not making money by the end of the year, then I go back to the bank… On month twelve, I got offered a job to set up a publishing department of a record label, which meant as a songwriter, I suddenly had income.”Episode SummaryGrieg's shift from band member to songwriter and music consultant.His insights into the Asian music market and its dynamics.Our discussion on how sound influences our feelings and memories.Tune in for next week's episode as we discuss the valuable lessons his grandfather shared with him and others in his life, how neurodiversity can almost be an advantage when it comes to certain industries, and why being the best songwriter doesn't necessarily lead to the most success.Connect with the Audio Branding Podcast:Book your project with Voice Overs and Vocals by visiting https://voiceoversandvocals.comConnect with me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jodikrangle/Watch the Audio Branding Podcast on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/JodiKrangleVOConnect with me on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodikrangle/Leave the Audio Branding Podcast a review at https://lovethepodcast.com/audiobranding (Thank you!)Share your passion effectively with these Tips for Sounding Your Best as a Podcast Guest!https://voiceoversandvocals.com/tips-for-sounding-your-best-as-a-podcast-guest/Get my Top Five Tips for Implementing an Intentional Audio Strategyhttps://voiceoversandvocals.com/audio-branding-strategy/Editing/Production by Humberto Franco - https://humbertofranco.com/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

A road trip isn't what you do when flying doesn't work out — done right, it's its own kind of vacation. This week, Ryan and Julie break down who road trips are actually best for, and the planning habits that separate a great one from a stressful one.Who Road Trips Are Best For Families with young kids (within 5-6 hours), travelers with flight anxiety, pet owners, and anyone who wants to explore a region deeply rather than just hit the highlights.Why It's Worth Considering The financial argument (full control over lodging, food, and transportation costs), the flexibility argument (no change fees, no schedule but your own), and the experience argument — the unplanned stops and detours often become the stories people remember for years.Planning It Right Build the trip around the drive, not just the destination. Don't overplan every hour, book pet-friendly stops carefully (a "pet-friendly" listing isn't always current), and prep the car before you go — oil change, roadside assistance, and a stocked snack box included.Tips for the Road Drive the hard miles first thing in the morning, switch drivers every two hours, gas up before you think you need to, and make every stop purposeful — a meal, a landmark, a short hike — rather than just a leg-stretch.Where in the World? Two couples are headed to the Danube River this October with AmaWaterways, right in the middle of Oktoberfest — with a completely refreshed onboard experience Ryan can't wait to hear about.Next week: things you didn't know were at Universal Orlando Resort.

In this The CIRS Group Podcast episode, hosts Jacie and Barbara interview Max McCord, an indoor environmental professional and president of the Stonecrest Team, about why mold remediation projects can fail even after visible mold is removed. Max explains that the biggest misses are often hidden, hard-to-see species like whitish Aspergillus, and that relying on basic air sampling can wrongly suggest a home is “clear,” while PCR-based testing, such as ERMI dust tests, can reveal what was missed.  He describes using detailed building history, CIRS-focused building science, macro photography, and advanced thermography to identify microclimates, insulation and vapor issues, and other hidden sources. The conversation also covers common containment and demolition mistakes that spread contamination, why coordination among IEPs, remediators, HVAC and insulation contractors matters, and how post-remediation “clearance” can be undone during remodeling by contaminated tools and materials. Max shares his personal CIRS diagnosis and his work with Christian Medical Ministries. Check out https://www.stonecrest.team and https://www.christianmedicalministries.org to learn more.

In this episode, we're talking about a specific flavor of ADHD overwhelm: the kind that builds when your compassion, your capability, and your rejection sensitivity all push you toward being the person who handles everything for everyone else. If you've ever wondered why you used to manage this fine and suddenly can't, this episode names what changed and offers four steps to start shifting it. In Episode 370, You Will Discover: Why caring, capability, and rejection sensitivity combine to make you the go-to person for everyone else The jar-of-sand explanation for why this pattern used to feel manageable and doesn't anymore How your strengths can tip into obstacles when they run unchecked A 4-step way for your ADHD brain to notice the pattern, name the belief underneath it, and practice the pause before saying yes Resources From This Episode: Episode 366: Overpromising and ADHD The Overwhelm to Action Intensive Work With Me: Learn more about private coaching here Join We're Busy Being Awesome (group coaching) Enroll in Overwhelm to Action - step by step course for ADHD Brains More ADHD Resources: Discover Your ADHD Overwhelm Type - Free Quiz!
