Your emotional detachment might be quietly wounding the people you love most. In PART 2 of our Father's Day LOOK-BACK, Jeff resurfaces five more conversations that hit different the second time around. ✅ Why your kids can feel when you've checked out emotionally ✅ How to stop pointing your kids to yourself as the source of life ✅ The dad who never raised his voice and what it did to his son ✅ What "unhurried presence" actually looks like in everyday moments ✅ The hard truth about emotional regulation every dad needs to hear SUMMARY In Part 2 of this Father's Day look-back series, Jeff Zaugg resurfaces five more powerful conversations from the past dad year, featuring Jeremy Pryor, Ted Cunningham, Pastor Tim Timberlake, Mac Lake, and Seth Dahl. The clips cover a dad's superpower of emotional detachment and how it can quietly wound the people he loves most, the faulty input-output theory of parenting and why God is the only true source of life, the transformative power of tone and speaking to the king in your child instead of the fool, the gift of unhurried presence and what it looks like to truly savor your kids, and the hard truth that a man who can't regulate his emotions forces his family to do it for him. This episode is a flyover packed with activation, challenge, and the kind of dad wisdom that sticks. KEY QUOTES "My kids can actually feel that. Like, if something were to happen to me, I think dad would be the least affected." — Jeremy Pryor, Ep. 415 "My source is Jesus, not you." — Ted Cunningham, Ep. 417 "In us we have both a fool and a king. The one that you address is the one that will respond." — Pastor Tim Timberlake, Ep. 424 "A posture of unhurried presence. So often we are present with our kids, but we're not present with our kids." — Mac Lake, Ep. 435 "A man who can't regulate his emotions forces his wife and kids to do it for him." — Seth Dahl, Ep. 429 TAKEAWAYS Your emotional detachment is a superpower that can become a weapon. Dads are wired to disconnect under pressure, and that's often a gift. But when that same skill gets used to keep your family at arm's length, your kids feel it. The question isn't how attached you feel. It's whether they feel attached to you. You were never meant to be the source. Pouring into your kids so they pour back into you is a trap. Your job, according to Deuteronomy 6, is to point them every single day to the only true source of life. Fire yourself. Fire your kids. God in heaven is the source. Tone is one of the greatest gifts a dad can give. Pastor Tim Timberlake's father never raised his voice, never disciplined from anger or frustration, and the love in his tone did the convicting. Your size, your volume, your first response, those things mark your kids. Speak to the king in them, not the fool. Unhurried presence is a posture, not a schedule. Mac Lake leaves adult conversations to throw a football for 60 minutes if that's what his grandkids want. The shift is simple but hard: let your kids be the thing that matters most in the moment, not an interruption to what actually matters. Emotional self-control is a fruit your family gets to eat. When you're getting triggered by your six-year-old, you're not parenting. You're asking them to regulate you. The Holy Spirit wants to grow self-control in you so your family is nourished by it. Your heart is upstream to everything in your home.

Chris Whalen is back for The Wrap after his fishing trip in Maine, where he caught a 21-inch smallmouth bass! He's very positive on Kevin Warsh's "less is more" approach at the Fed—no forward guidance, likely removing the dot plot, and refocusing on letting the numbers speak for themselves rather than trying to control expectations through communication. Whalen argues the bond market has already delivered a rate hike on its own, and if he were Warsh, he'd wait and see how the Iran peace deal holds before making more moves, given that war inflation is transitory and external to Fed policy. He reveals the definition of inflation will likely be narrowed to minimize rate hikes and avoid tanking the economy, and he's watching a massive rebalancing from equities to bonds at record allocation levels. Whalen sold most of his AI stocks and locked in serious gains, but he's holding SpaceX as a long-term play given Elon's monopolies on space launch and global internet. He warns the AI bubble is going south with Mike Saylor and Bitcoin spiraling, sees gold and silver as a great entry point after being beaten down, and is adding to positions. He explains silver's manufacturing and technology demand while copper faces supply constraints. On Iran, Whalen argues the MOU doesn't solve underlying inflation drivers—diesel, fertilizer, energy ripple through the economy—so double-digit inflation is locked in with no Fed rate cuts coming. He's concerned about private credit festering with two-and-twenty fees still common, distressed debt exchanges now over 70% of defaults since 2022, and he likes Annaly as a mortgage REIT with government-insured assets and mortgage servicing rights providing protection. Whalen notes precious metals could still rise despite rate hikes because central banks will keep accumulating gold as reserve assets.

I love when pagans criticize Christians for not being "Christian enough" or the right type of Christian that they would prefer. Obviously, don't listen to them, but what does the Bible say about the words we speak and the tone we should have?

Welcome back to our Summer Fat Loss Series, where I'm helping you get into the best shape this summer without giving up your social life or favorite foods. The final episode of this series is all about what you should actually be eating to lose fat and tone up. There's so much nutrition advice online telling women to focus on specific foods, supplements, hacks, and trends. But if you're not focusing on the things that actually drive fat loss and body recomposition, you likely won't see the results you're looking for. That's why in today's episode, I'm breaking down the three most important nutrition principles every woman should focus on if she wants to lose fat, build lean muscle, and transform her body this summer. We'll talk about the biggest mistake I see women make when trying to eat healthier, the nutrition targets that actually matter most, and how to simplify your approach so you can stop overthinking every food choice. By the end of this episode, you'll know exactly what to prioritize in your diet to support fat loss and body recomposition this summer. Most importantly, you'll walk away with a simpler, more realistic approach to eating that helps you get results without feeling restricted, overwhelmed, or obsessed with food.

While not a complete end to the U.S.-Iran hostilities, Kevin Hincks sees the memorandum of understanding expected to be signed by Friday as a big sigh of relief for a greatly pressured energy trade. He also turns to the Fed and Kevin Warsh's expectations for the FOMC, believing his stance on "uneven" economic conditions will shape future interest rate projections. Kevin then analyzes the weekly jobless claims print that came in slightly above estimates. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

"Words, Tongues, and Tone, Oh My!" (Some audience participation has been edited out)Adult Sunday School Class Description:The Bible never treats speech as morally neutral. Words reveal the heart, expose our idols, and demonstrate who or what we truly serve. We will seek to examine the theology of speech through Scripture and the practical framework of Paul David Tripp's War of Words. We will consider how sinful desires corrupt our communication, how self righteousness fuels conflict, and how the Gospel alone brings redemption to our words. This class aims to cultivate repentance, humility, and Christ like speech within the Church.
Do our words build others up, or do they sometimes tear down without us realizing?In today's episode, Lauren Burgos reflects on Proverbs 31:26 and the lasting impact our words have in our homes, friendships, and communities. Together, we'll explore what it truly means to speak with wisdom, recognize the difference between honesty and harshness, and invite God to shape how we communicate with those we love.Join our community in uplifting prayer and daily devotion as we seek to let wisdom and care flow through every conversation.Tap HERE to send us a text!

In-Depth Insights: Nature Trail and Environmental Management:** The downtown nature trail not only offers recreation but also manages water flow through the Mill Creek Drainage District. Recent enhancements include planting 300 trees and adding amenities like the "Gilmore Girls gazebo." Expanding Bike Paths:** Grayslake boasts one of the region's most extensive bike path networks. New connections, such as the path from Lake Street train station to Allegheny Park, improve safety and accessibility. Collaboration with state and local officials was key to securing funding and approvals. Actionable Advice: For Municipalities:** Invest in green infrastructure that serves both recreational and environmental purposes. Prioritize connectivity to make walking and biking safe and convenient. For Residents:** Explore local trails and parks. Participate in community clean-up and tree-planting events. 5. Smart Growth and Zoning: Balancing Progress with Community Values Key Takeaway: Zoning and comprehensive planning are essential tools for guiding responsible development while preserving Grayslake's character. In-Depth Insights: Zoning Framework:** The village sets zoning districts (residential, commercial, industrial) but does not select specific businesses. Property owners and developers propose projects that must comply with zoning and village ordinances. Community Input:** The comprehensive plan was recently updated with input from residents, business owners, and other stakeholders. This plan guides future growth, ensuring it aligns with community values and needs. Actionable Advice: For Local Governments:** Engage the community in planning processes. Regularly review and update zoning ordinances to reflect changing needs. For Residents:** Stay informed about local development proposals. Participate in public hearings and provide constructive feedback. 6. Navigating Controversy: The Data Center Development Key Takeaway: Major developments, like the proposed data center in south Grayslake, require careful communication and fact-based dialogue. In-Depth Insights: Project Background:** The data center has been in planning for years, with extensive public hearings and approvals. It is expected to generate up to $50 million annually in tax revenue at full buildout. Community Concerns:** National attention and local debate have highlighted the need for clear, accessible information. The village created an FAQ website and encourages residents to ask questions directly. Respectful Discourse:** Mayor Davies stresses the importance of respectful, fact-based conversations and discourages divisive actions like business boycotts. Actionable Advice: For Leaders:** Proactively address concerns with transparent, factual information. Create dedicated resources (e.g., FAQ pages) to answer common questions. For Residents:** Seek information from official sources. Engage in civil discussions and avoid spreading misinformation. 7. Celebrating Community: Events that Unite Grayslake Key Takeaway: Community events are vital for fostering unity, celebrating heritage, and creating lasting memories. In-Depth Insights: Signature Events:** The 250th anniversary drone show, Summer Nights, tree lighting ceremony, and Taste of Grayslake are highlights of the town's social calendar. These events draw large crowds and showcase Grayslake's vibrant spirit. Honoring Service:** Memorial Day ceremonies, featuring local leaders and Gold Star families, reinforce the community's values and gratitude. Actionable Advice: For Event Organizers:** Plan inclusive events that appeal to diverse interests and age groups. Partner with local businesses and organizations to maximize impact. For Residents:** Attend and volunteer at community events. Invite friends and neighbors to participate and build connections. 8. Expert Advice: Actionable Tips for Community Leaders Drawing from Mayor Davies' experience and the podcast discussion, here are nuanced, actionable tips for effective community leadership: Prioritize Fiscal Health:** Maintain a balanced budget and avoid unnecessary debt. Invest in projects that offer long-term value, not just short-term gains. Communicate with Intention:**
Episode 298 · Mini Miracles From Minor Moments Have you ever said the right words but still felt completely misunderstood? This week on Mini Miracles From Minor Moments, I'm exploring something that touches every single relationship in your life — the tone, pace, and pitch of your voice. The way we say something carries just as much meaning as the words themselves. This episode gathers several short reflections recorded over recent weeks, all pointing toward one central truth: how we communicate shapes how we connect. What This Episode Is About From a morning full of mini-miracles — emissions tests, quick errands, and a license plate sticker that finally got done — to a thoughtful look at guarding your mind against fear and self-doubt, this episode is a warm collection of everyday wisdom. I talk about building emotional and physical endurance, the discipline of small daily habits, and the art of focusing on joy even when life is heavy. Woven through all of it is a longer reflection on the voice — how our intonation, pitch, and pace tell people far more than we realize, and how a simple smile in your voice can change everything. I also share some personal moments from my week — a cornea injury that a chance conversation with an orthopedic doctor helped catch, a pair of sunglasses still missing since Mother's Day, and the exciting launch of my Art Therapy group, which is now meeting on Thursday afternoons. These are the minor moments that carry real meaning, if we stay awake to them. Main Talking Points Mini-Miracles Happen When You Least Expect Them A morning that flowed — errands done, sticker on the plate, still on time for an appointment — is a reminder to stay positive and keep moving. When things pile up, a peaceful mindset makes all the difference. Guarding Your Mind Is a Daily Practice Negative thoughts, comparison, fear, and the need to control things can creep in quietly. Training your thoughts during peaceful moments is what pushes destructive thinking out. Emotional endurance grows from patience, self-awareness, and reflection. Small Physical Habits Move You Forward Whether it's making the bed, taking a walk, or drinking more water, the small things we repeat build momentum. Even a half-mile walk counts. Honoring the commitments you make to yourself strengthens your identity and keeps joy within reach. Focus on the Good, Especially When Life Is Hard Life always brings sadness, illness, and loss. Choosing to call up joyful memories — a kind person at the bank, a warm summer day, a photo wall of good times — is not denial. It is a discipline that keeps us open to the miracles right in front of us. Your Voice Is an Emotional Soundtrack The tone, pace, and pitch of your voice communicate emotions that words alone cannot carry. Speaking with urgency raises the other person's anxiety; slowing down anchors them. Whether you want to inspire, comfort, or simply be understood, a calm and intentional voice makes all the difference. The Same Words Land Differently for Everyone A boss can address the same group and leave one person motivated, another insulted. We have to ask ourselves: how do I want the person on the other side to receive what I'm saying? Tone in texts and emails carries meaning too — short and direct can feel cold even when we don't intend it. Put a Smile in Your Voice People can tell if you are truly smiling when you speak — over the phone, in a counseling session, even in a voicemail. When we are preoccupied or distracted, our voice gives us away. Being present in our tone is one of the most generous things we can offer the people we care about.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with bassist Tim Lefebvre for a conversation about groove, adaptability, tone, and what it really means to serve the music. Tim has built one of the most distinctive and wide-ranging careers in modern bass playing, with credits spanning jazz, rock, pop, experimental music, and singer-songwriter projects. From David Bowie's Blackstar to Tedeschi Trucks Band, Wayne Krantz, and countless sessions in between, Tim has become one of those rare players whose sound is unmistakable yet fits almost anywhere.We begin by talking about his 2026 so far, which includes recording work, short touring runs, a date with Nate Smith and Jason Lindner, upcoming shows in Italy with Tiziano Ferro, and a tour with Melissa Etheridge. From there, we get into one of the central tensions of a working musician's life: how to bring your own identity to a project while still honoring the artist, the songs, and the original recordings. Tim has strong instincts here, and he speaks with great clarity about choosing simplicity, resisting overplaying, and understanding what the music actually needs.One of my favorite parts of this conversation is hearing Tim talk about some of the landmark experiences in his career. We discuss the Bryan Adams tour, the joy of playing huge songs in front of large crowds, and then spend time on David Bowie's Blackstar, including how Tim approached the sessions, how much of the rhythmic language was already implied in Bowie's demos, and how some of the bass textures on songs like “Lazarus” emerged naturally in the room. Tim also reflects on the creative freedom and trust inside Tedeschi Trucks Band, and what it felt like to be part of a band that could take real improvisational chances in front of thousands of people.Along the way, we talk gear, compression, pedals, picks, strings, remote recording, favorite drummers, the differences between New York and Los Angeles, sobriety, and some of the bass players who shaped his ear early on, including James Jamerson, Paul McCartney, Darryl Jones, Marcus Miller, Victor Bailey, Jaco Pastorius, and Tony Levin. This is a conversation about craft, but also about judgment, restraint, and learning to make the right choice in the moment.Key TakeawaysTim Lefebvre talks about balancing personal identity with the responsibility of serving the artist, the arrangement, and the song.He shares stories from the making of David Bowie's Blackstar, including how parts of “Lazarus” developed in the studio.Tim reflects on the musical and emotional intensity of playing with Tedeschi Trucks Band and the freedom that the group allowed onstage.He discusses his early path from saxophone to bass, his father's influence, and learning on real gigs at a young age.The conversation explores how bass playing varies with the drummer and what Tim listens for when locking in with someone new.Tim also gets into gear, including pick playing, flats versus rounds, bass compression, distortion, reverb, and how pedals can shape creative ideas.We talk openly about sobriety, professional growth, and how life experience changes the way a musician shows up on and off the bandstand.Music from the EpisodeAnyhow - Tedeschi Trucks BandShake Loose - Donny McCaslinIt's No Fun Not to Like Pop - Krantz/Carlock/LefebvreHanging On - KnowerBlackstar - David BowieAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast where I sit down with musicians, songwriters, producers, and creative people for thoughtful conversations about craft, collaboration, career, and the experiences that shape a life in music.

"Words, Tongues, and Tone, Oh My!" (Some audience participation has been edited out)Adult Sunday School Class Description:The Bible never treats speech as morally neutral. Words reveal the heart, expose our idols, and demonstrate who or what we truly serve. We will seek to examine the theology of speech through Scripture and the practical framework of Paul David Tripp's War of Words. We will consider how sinful desires corrupt our communication, how self righteousness fuels conflict, and how the Gospel alone brings redemption to our words. This class aims to cultivate repentance, humility, and Christ like speech within the Church.
One year after Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her own home, Vance Boelter has pleaded guilty — and the motive that MAGA spent a year denying is now a matter of federal record. Boelter, a self-described preacher and Christ for the Nations graduate, hunted lawmakers by name with a police disguise and a 70-person target list. This is the story of how spiritual-warfare theology stopped being a metaphor.

A Chairde,As June heads towards July the distant beat of your drums is pounding out their rhythm. The marching season for all of the Loyal Orders is well underway and the 12 July is fast approaching. One July, sitting during yet another negotiation, into the early hours with Tony Blair the ratatat of Lambegs sundered the quiet. We paused as he asked if I knew what that was. Yes ,I replied that's the Orangemen.“Jungle drums?” he said.I am minded to remind you that the Battle of the Boyne was fought on the 1st July not the 12th. The date changed in 1752 when the English adopted the Gregorian calendar introduced by Pope Gregory. The war was part of a much wider European conflagration – the Nine Years War. James was backed by the English Aristocracy, by France and by the Irish Catholic aristocracy. William who was James's son-in-law and King of Holland, was backed by the English merchant class, by Pope Innocent X1, by Spain and Germany and by Protestant settlers in Ireland. At its core it was William leading a ‘Grand Alliance' of Europeans to curb the power and expansion plans of the French King.The Pope contributed to Williams expenses and when news reached Rome of the victory there was a Te Deum hymn sang in a “joyous proclamation of praise, thanksgiving and faith.” The Pope was front and centre of it all. So much for No Pope Here! Bodenstown“To say all in one word, Ireland shall be independent. We shall be a nation, not a province, citizens not slaves.” Wolfe Tone On 28 June Republicans from across the island of Ireland will travel to Bodenstown, County Kildare, to stand in homage at the graveside of Theobald Wolfe Tone, the founder of Irish Republicanism.For those who know of Tone and for those who don't I want to recommend a new publication – Bodenstown: Honouring Wolfe Tone – A Pictorial History – which tells his remarkable and inspirational story and recounts the generations who have travelled to Bodenstown each June to remember and celebrate his life.This new publication profiles Tone and publishes photographs of many of the commemorations that have been held there. The first image of Bodenstown is of Padraig Pearse delivering the oration in June 1913. The Irish Republican Brotherhood had asked Pearse to speak and the event was chaired by veteran Fenian Tom Clarke. Both were executed by the British less than three years later following the 1916 Easter Rising. Cupla Focal Eile.Another few words í nGaeilge as part of this column's contribution to the effort to use whatever Irish we have even if it is only a wee bit. Here are a few more bits and pieces to replace their English equivalents.Lá breithe shona duit means Happy birthday to you. It also sounds really good when sung by a crowd at a birthday gathering. Or even on a one to one basis. Try it. Use the same air as the English version. Tiomaint go curamac means drive carefully. Sliothar is a hurling ball. Tóg go bóg é means take it easy. Slán abhaile means Safe home.

Bad habits. Bad night. Bad optics. The Dallas Wings have been making steady improvements since their tight 4-point loss to the Minnesota Lynx back in May. Fans expected a hard-fought rematch—instead, they got a 24-point demolition.Minnesota didn't just beat Dallas; they dictated the exact terms of engagement. Using an aggressive, physical "Bully Ball" defense, the Lynx manipulated the intensity dial, broke the Wings' on-court communication, and forced a white-flag "Surrender Lineup" with over six minutes left in the fourth quarter.Even with Paige Bueckers calling for discipline and accountability postgame, other press conference events elevate this game from a bad night to a bad look. Luckily, the Wings have opportunities to respond coming up very soon.00:00 - Wings - Lynx Postgame sound bites01:56 - The Dallas Cowboys Minute: DeMarvion Overshown Get the Green Dot, Marist Liufau Gets Public Praise15:37 - Rules of Engagement: Setting the Tone for the Wings Autopsy17:53 - The Ugly Stats: Getting Dominated in the Paint26:10 - Postgame Sound: Coach Fernandez on the Defensive Collapse29:36 - The Throttle: How Minnesota Manipulated the Pacing35:09 - The PR Pivot: Cancelled Practice & The "Tail Tucked" Optics47:07 - Pace vs. Physicality54:55 - The "Surrender Lineup"59:56 - WNBA Fan Culture: Toxic Narratives & Protecting the Locker Room01:20:35 - Lynx Appreciation & Outro

We've all been there. You hear your kid use a four-letter word for the first time. Or belittle someone else. Do your kids understand the power of their words? In this episode of the All Pro Dad podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about how often our kids use words without thinking about the consequences and what dads can do to shape kids' language. Why This MattersThe words we use shape relationships, build trust, and influence how kids see themselves and others.Key TakeawaysKids learn the power of language primarily by listening to the adults around them.Compliments and encouragement often have a longer-lasting impact than we realize.A child's language often reveals deeper heart issues, influences, or emotional struggles.Parents should pay attention to the influences shaping their kids' communication, including friends, music, movies, and online content.Practical Tips for Dads1. Model the language you want your kids to use.Praise your spouse, encourage others openly, and speak respectfully even when frustrated.2. Practice “reverse gossip.”Speak highly of people behind their backs and let your kids hear it regularly.3. Build gratitude into family rhythms.Use moments like dinner conversations to encourage thankfulness and affirmation.4. Address hurtful language quickly.Teach kids the difference between joking around and attacking someone's dignity.5. Talk about the “why” behind words.Ask questions that uncover the heart posture behind the language your kids use.6. Monitor influences carefully.Pay attention to the friends, media, music, and online content shaping your child's communication habits.7. Teach honesty as a core family value.Help kids understand that trust is built through consistent truthfulness.Important Episode Timestamps[00:00] How Can We Teach Our Kids the Power of Language?

Windermere Ask a Coach | "How You Sound Is How You Sell"About the HostMichael Fanning is SVP and Co-Owner of Windermere Coaching with 29 years in the Windermere ecosystem and a background as a former Master Ninja Selling Instructor.Episode OverviewTwo agents. Same experience. Same presentation. Completely different results. The difference isn't what they said it's how they said it. Michael breaks down the five vocal habits quietly costing agents listings and delivers a practical five-step game plan for building real vocal confidence.FAQQ: Why does articulation matter more than my script?Your words are only 7% of how your message is received. Tone of voice accounts for 38%. The preparation most agents spend 90% of their time on drives only 7% of the impression they make. Articulation training closes the gap between what you intend to communicate and what your client actually receives.Q: What is upspeak and why does it hurt me?Upspeak is when your voice rises at the end of a statement, turning declarations into questions. It signals a request for approval rather than confidence. Leaders speak in periods, not question marks when your voice comes down, it registers as conviction.Q: How do I stop using filler words?When you feel an "um," "like," or "basically" coming, close your mouth, breathe, and let there be one second of silence. To the listener, that pause reads as thoughtfulness and confidence not hesitation.Q: What is hedging language?Stacking qualifiers like "maybe," "might," "potentially," and "I think" strips all authority from your recommendation. Compare: "I'm not sure, but the market might potentially suggest a more aggressive price" versus "Based on what the market is showing us, I'm recommending we come in at a price that positions you to move. Here's why." Same information. Completely different authority.Q: What's the fix for speaking too fast?Slow down at key moments.

"Words, Tongues, and Tone, Oh My!" Adult Sunday School Class Description:The Bible never treats speech as morally neutral. Words reveal the heart, expose our idols, and demonstrate who or what we truly serve. We will seek to examine the theology of speech through Scripture and the practical framework of Paul David Tripp's War of Words. We will consider how sinful desires corrupt our communication, how self righteousness fuels conflict, and how the Gospel alone brings redemption to our words. This class aims to cultivate repentance, humility, and Christ like speech within the Church.
In PMQs today, Kemi Badenoch strategically chose not to talk about the Henry Nowak case given the sensitivity surrounding the subject. Instead she opted for welfare – asking the PM why spending has grown during Labour's government. A statistic some Labour MPs seemed proud of...Nigel Farage however didn't hold back and clashed with Keir Starmer over the police's handling of the murder of student Henry Nowak. Oscar Edmondson is joined by Noa Hoffman and Michael Simmons. Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

There is more to communication than words. In this episode, Chad and Nikki talk about how small changes in what we say and how we say it can make a big difference to our kids.
Whether you call it "daddy issues" or father wounds, the relationship you had or didn't have with your father is often the blueprint for your romantic future. In this episode, we explore why your partner is actually a mirror of your internal healing and how you can stop "tap dancing" for love to finally claim the devotion you deserve.✧ What's Inside:The Marriage Predictor: Discover why the fastest way to predict how a man will treat you in marriage is to look at your current dynamic with your father.The "Bar and Tone": Learn how accepting negativity or criticism from your dad sets a subconscious standard that your partner will eventually mirror.Chemistry vs. Familiarity: Understand why your nervous system might be "addicted" to inconsistent or distant men simply because they feel familiar.Breaking Behavioral Patterns: Identify common traps like "overfunctioning," people-pleasing, or wearing "masculine armor" as a protective shield.A Real-Life Transformation: Hear the story of a bride-to-be who had to choose her own standards over her father's guilt trips and how it immediately shifted her engagement.✧ Action Plan for Healing:Grieve the Gap: Acknowledge and mourn the love or relationship you never received from your father as a child.Set Boundaries: Build courageous communication boundaries with your father; if the interaction isn't loving or supportive, stop accepting it.Reclaim Sovereignty: Decouple your sense of worthiness from your father's perceptions, limitations, or expectations.Shift from "Hunter" to "Receiver": Stop overfunctioning to create certainty or leading the dynamic through masculine energy; instead, let safe love find you.Face the Fear of Displeasure: Get comfortable with others being upset with you as you let go of people-pleasing patterns.✧ The Benefits of This Work:Natural Standard Raising: When you heal the root pattern, your standards for how you should be treated raise automatically.Effortless Relationship Shifts: Your partner will neurosense the change in your energy, causing old, unhealthy dynamics to dissolve without a fight.Safety in Devotion: You move from "fireworks" chemistry often rooted in trauma to a love that feels like a warm, safe fireplace.Emotional Freedom: You stop looking for your husband to fill an old wound, allowing the relationship to exist in wholeness rather than lack.Ready to stop fighting for love and start receiving it?

Dr. Nick Epley, PhD, is a professor of behavioral science at the University of Chicago and a leading expert on the science of social connection. We discuss how seemingly small daily interactions with strangers (as well as with people we know) can meaningfully improve our mental and physical health. Dr. Epley also explains how to reduce social anxiety using simple and easily accessible science-supported tools. We also discuss the data on assumptions — both the ones we and others make — and why so often those are wrong when it comes to social dynamics. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.
