On today's episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Christina Bjorndal ( @drchrisbjorndal), a naturopathic doctor, author, and mental health expert, for a powerful and deeply honest conversation about healing beyond diagnoses. Dr. Christina shares her personal journey through depression, bipolar disorder, suicide attempts, and recovery, and how those experiences shaped her integrative approach to mental health and whole-person healing. Together, we explore the profound connection between the mind, body, nervous system, and spirit, and why true healing requires more than symptom management. In this episode, we talk about how trauma, nutrition, gut health, stress, and unexamined thought patterns can influence mental health and fertility. Dr. Christina also explains why labels can be limiting, how epigenetics shapes our health beyond genetics, and why cultivating self-compassion and safety in the body is foundational to healing. This conversation offers hope, perspective, and practical insights for anyone navigating mental health challenges, fertility struggles, or the pressure to "fix" themselves instead of understanding what their body is asking for. Key Takeaways: Mental health diagnoses describe symptoms, not root causes Healing requires addressing the nervous system, not just the mind Thoughts directly influence physiology through stress hormones and immune function Epigenetics explains how environment, trauma, and lifestyle shape health outcomes Digestion and nutrition depend on nervous system regulation, not just food choices Self-compassion and self-acceptance are essential, not optional, for healing Hope and possibility are powerful forces in recovery and fertility journeys Guest Bio: Dr. Christina Bjorndal ( @drchrisbjorndal), ND is a naturopathic doctor, mental health advocate, gifted speaker, and best-selling author who blends clinical expertise with lived experience. Drawing from her personal journey through depression, anxiety, bulimia, bipolar disorder type 1, cancer, and surviving multiple suicide attempts, she offers a deeply compassionate and integrative approach to mental health. Trained in naturopathic and mind-body medicine, Dr. Christina focuses on whole-person healing, addressing the nervous system, nutrition, trauma, and self-compassion. She is the author of Beyond the Label: 10 Steps to Improve Your Mental Health with Naturopathic Medicine and the creator of two educational programs supporting both individuals and clinicians in moving beyond mental health labels.

We are standing at a turning point in the hobby.Before we rush into what comes next, this episode slows things down and looks back at the Panini era. Not to praise it. Not to tear it down. To understand it.Panini did more than release products. It reshaped how collecting looks, feels, and moves. From Prizm changing modern card design, to product ladders, chase mechanics, and a release calendar that never stopped, this era trained collectors in ways many of us did not notice in real time.This episode breaks down what actually happened during the Panini run. How the hobby expanded. How attention replaced intention. How rarity, desire, and visibility became tangled. And why understanding this era gives you more control as we head into the next one.Get your free copy of Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On HypeStart your 7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this linkFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
In this powerful episode, Debra Pascali-Bonaro sits down with reproductive health coach and mom of three, Liya Teplitsky, to explore how mindset, nutrition, and intentional pleasure turned birth from excruciating pain into ecstatic orgasmic bliss. Liya shares her three home birth stories—from a long, painful first labor on a yoga mat to a painless second birth and finally an intentional orgasmic birth supported by a vibrator, midwife, and an unshakable belief that birth can be pleasurable. You'll hear how Liya: -Discovered the concept of home and orgasmic birth from a chance encounter in Las Vegas and the film "Orgasmic Birth." -Used visioning, hypnobirthing, and a "no Plan B" mindset to manifest a home birth while others in her class transferred to hospital. -Crafted a controversial but powerful nutrition approach focused on animal-based fats, protein, and bone broth to support pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. -Experienced a pain-free, midwife-free second birth at 37 weeks where her husband caught the baby before the midwife arrived. -Trained her body and mind for an intentional orgasmic third birth using a vibrator, spiritual work, and radical clarity about her desires. -Shifted her beliefs around age, physiology, and "biblical" ideas of suffering in childbirth, choosing instead to pursue pleasure as a birthright. This episode is for you if: -You're curious or skeptical about orgasmic birth and want to hear a detailed, grounded story. -You're preparing for birth and want to explore mindset, manifestation, and physiology as tools for a different experience. -You support birthing people and want a deeper understanding of how nutrition, beliefs, and sexual energy shape labor. Connect with Liya Teplitsky: Liya currently works one-on-one as a mentor and nutritional coach, supporting women with fertility challenges and those preparing for natural conception and birth. She offers guidance in multiple languages and shares more about her nutritional approach, pregnancy preparation, postpartum nourishment, and mom life, Website - https://liyateplitsky.com Facebook - / 61572499001960 Instagram - / liyatep Purchase the PleasureVibe Buy Now and Access BONUS Resources http://orgasmicbirth.com/fin-pleasure...

Reese Jones is living every San Fransico tech guy's wet dream. Create a company, sell it to Motorola for $205 millions dollars, and meet a hot, blonde girlfriend who doesn't hold back in the bedroom. A lifestyle some would be jealous of even after Reese gets kidnapped. Three men jump out, blindfold him, force him into a car at gunpoint. Next thing he knows, Reese is being led through seven different rooms, representing the seven deadly sins. One is lust. Another is gluttony. Then, envy. Reese is bound to a chair while his girlfriend has intercourse with what is described as ‘a buffet of people.' After all seven rooms, all seven sins, Reese is reborn. Which just means he's now cloaked in white, standing on a rooftop deck while his blonde girlfriend waits for him in the distance: “Happy Birthday.” That's what you get as a present when you're worth $200 million dollars and your girlfriend is the founder of One Taste, a company that helps women meditate and reach an orgasm. Every tech guy's wet dream right? That's until Reese gets wrapped up in one of the strangest, potential trafficking cases, and his girlfriend, Nicole Daedone, wellness company CEO ends up in the same prison as none other than Ghislaine Maxwell.

It's been two months since the federal government began what it calls “Operation Metro Surge” in Minnesota. Besides spreading fear amongst immigrants and many documented instances of violence and racial profiling, the surge has led many Minnesotans to jump into a remarkably large network of advocates, lawyers, constitutional observers and mutual aid providers. While these helpers have made headlines worldwide, many are getting tired. The Immigrant Defense Network has been operating beyond its capacity for weeks, and there's not yet an end in sight.The Immigrant Defense Network helped band together more than 100 organizations to assist struggling families and defend immigrants' constitutional rights. In January, the network registered an average of 2,000 volunteers per week to deliver food, give at-risk families rides, go to court hearings, and translate documents.“The scale is unimaginable,” Edwin Torres Desantiago, Immigrant Defense Network manager, said. “We have rapid response around the clock, seven days a week. We are actively responding to a case every six minutes across the state of Minnesota.”Torres Desantiago said that to many staff and volunteers, their work feels like a nonstop sprint. “A lot of us are tired, but we know that in this moment we need to keep defending and protecting our neighbors.”“We are living with the reality that this is no longer a couple-week operation like it was in other cities,” Torres Desantiago said. “We are now expecting and creating the infrastructure that this is something we have to sustain for an unforeseeable future.”Torres Desantiago said that even if the there was a sudden decrease in ICE agents in the state, his organization would still work around the clock for months to help with the ripple effect the operation has had on tens of thousands of Minnesotans.

A talk by Thanissaro Bhikkhu entitled "The Well-trained Mind"
Aging is not something Zoltan Istvan plans to accept quietly. He wants to treat death like a technical bug, rewrite the rules of biology, and turn California into the global test bed for radical human upgrades. From cyborg implants to AI driven longevity science, this episode explores what happens when a candidate for governor openly argues that humans should evolve beyond their biological limits and take control of how long and how well they live. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Zoltan Istvan, a leading transhumanist, futurist, longevity advocate, and current candidate for Governor of California. Zoltan has spoken at Parliaments and Senates around the world, appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience, consulted for the US Armed Forces, and served as a correspondent for The New York Times. He has addressed the World Bank, the World Economic Forum, and the UK Parliament, and his work has influenced world leaders while shaping global conversations on AI, liberty, and human enhancement. Trained in philosophy and ethics at Columbia University and the University of Oxford, Zoltan brings rare depth to the intersection of technology, biology, and governance. Together, they explore whether aging should be classified as a disease, why regulation is slowing breakthroughs in longevity science, and how California could become ground zero for anti-aging innovation. They debate biology versus machine integration, open source technology versus centralized control, and what morphological freedom really means when enhancement technologies move faster than policy. The discussion spans mitochondria, neuroplasticity, brain optimization, stem cells, organ printing, implants, and the ethical risks of surveillance, algorithmic persuasion, and unchecked AI. This episode is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, hacking human performance, longevity, metabolism, functional medicine, anti-aging strategies, supplements, nootropics, ketosis, fasting, carnivore frameworks, sleep optimization, and living Smarter Not Harder in a world increasingly shaped by AI and technology, ideally with a cup of Danger Coffee in hand. You'll Learn: • Why aging may be a solvable problem rather than an unavoidable fate • How politics and regulation influence access to longevity and anti-aging therapies • The real tradeoffs between biological upgrades and machine integration • Why mitochondria, neuroplasticity, and brain optimization matter in human enhancement • How AI and surveillance technology threaten cognitive and biological autonomy • What morphological freedom means for the future of medicine and personal choice • Why open source approaches to biohacking could protect liberty and innovation • How Smarter Not Harder strategies support longevity in a rapidly evolving world Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Today’s Bible Verse: “When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the Lord was merciful to them.” — Genesis 19:16 (NIV) Genesis 19:16 is a powerful picture of God’s mercy in motion. Even when Lot hesitated, unsure or slow to respond, the Lord’s compassion did not waver. God didn’t wait for perfect faith or flawless obedience—He stepped in and led them to safety. “Want to listen without ads?

In this episode of Leadership Insider, Paul reflects on one of the most overlooked realities of leadership today: leadership is emotional, whether we acknowledge it or not. Drawing on more than four decades of experience working with leaders, teams, and global organisations, he explores how many leadership problems remain hidden in plain sight because they are misdiagnosed, avoided, or oversimplified.Key themes explored in this episode:Why leadership is shaped more by emotional climate than strategy or structureHow leaders often mistake control, compliance, or engagement metrics for real leadershipThe difference between managing obedience and cultivating ownershipWhy people disengage when they feel unseen, unheard, or unsafeHow emotional blind spots quietly erode trust, culture, and performanceWhy the most damaging leadership issues are often the most obvious onesHow misdiagnosing problems leads to repeated fixes that never workPaul also shares real-world observations from working inside organisations — including luxury brands — showing how leaders can become disconnected from the lived experience of their people, and how this disconnect affects morale, loyalty, and results.Key takeaway:Leadership improves when leaders stop managing symptoms and start paying attention to the emotional reality of the people they lead.To continue the conversation, you can stay connected with Paul through the Leadership Insider podcast, where he shares further reflections on leadership, culture, and the human side of work.

During today's episode, Richard explained his compelling vision for a community built on intentional mutual benefit—a concept that resonates deeply with me.Richard's new book, Birthing the Symbiotic Age, is the culmination of over two decades of work, blending personal experience, community organizing, and a belief in the interconnectedness of humanity and nature. He challenges the idea that we are separate, saying, “We're actually all connected…within our families, neighborhoods, local communities, nations, and worldwide.”This intentional mutual benefit, as Richard describes it, is a culture where every action, thought, and decision considers its impact on others. It's about making connection a core value, from small personal interactions to global systems. Richard explained, “Symbiotic culture…is a culture in which intentional mutual benefit between human beings and with nature becomes the norm at all scales.”He draws from practical experience, sharing stories of community transformation. Richard recounted his involvement in initiatives like the Nevada Micro-Enterprise Initiative, which provided low-income entrepreneurs with seed funding, mentorship, and technical assistance. These efforts exemplify his belief that mutual benefit can underpin economic and social systems, creating a “virtuous economy.”This vision aligns beautifully with the principles of impact crowdfunding, where investors and entrepreneurs unite to create positive change. Richard's work shows how embedding intentional mutual benefit into our economy has the power to transform not only individual lives but entire communities.Richard's book, Birthing the Symbiotic Age, offers a roadmap for rebuilding our culture with love and connection at its heart. As he said, “When we engage the world, we are coming from that deeper connected perspective.”For those interested in this vision, Richard's book is available at richardflyer.com. By embracing his ideas, we can take steps toward realizing this symbiotic age together.tl;dr:Richard Flyer shares a 20-year journey to create a symbiotic culture of intentional mutual benefit.He explains how his book, Birthing the Symbiotic Age, challenges the myth of separation in society.Richard highlights community-building efforts, including crime reduction and micro-financing initiatives.He describes his superpower: recognizing the intrinsic divinity or goodness in every individual.Richard provides actionable advice for fostering connection and building a culture of mutual benefit.How to Develop Recognizing the Divinity in Others As a SuperpowerRichard's superpower is the ability to see the divinity—or intrinsic goodness—in everyone. He explained, “The superpower is to see the truth that we're all made in the image of God…underneath all of the apparent polarization.” This perspective allows him to bridge divides and unite communities, focusing on the shared humanity that connects us all. Richard emphasized that this principle applies universally, regardless of one's spiritual or secular beliefs, making it a powerful tool for fostering connection and collaboration.Richard shared a transformative story of overcoming his personal biases to unite his community. In Reno, Nevada, he recognized his antipathy toward religious organizations was limiting his ability to include them in community-building efforts. To address this, he spent a year visiting various religious and spiritual groups, from Christian churches to Buddhist sanghas. This experience helped him see individuals beyond their labels, fostering greater understanding and collaboration. This shift enabled him to unite diverse groups to address shared challenges.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Attend events hosted by organizations or people you may disagree with to foster understanding.Practice small, intentional acts of kindness, such as holding the door open for others.Consciously remind yourself of the shared humanity in everyone, even those with opposing views.Reflect on personal biases and take steps to overcome them for greater connection.By following Richard's example and advice, you can make recognizing the divinity in others a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

It integrates insights from community development, economics, spirituality and faith traditions, and living systems to help people move beyond polarization toward shared purpose and practical collaboration. Rather than advancing ideology or top-down solutions, Symbiotic Culture emphasizes connecting the good already present in local communities—linking people, initiatives, and institutions so they can work together more effectively through shared values and virtues such as trust, mutual responsibility, and care. The work holds that lasting social renewal is both practical and spiritual, beginning not with systems alone but with people learning how to live, work, and solve problems together in meaningful ways.Website: richardflyer.comBiographical Information: Richard Flyer is an author, community-builder, and faith-rooted cultural strategist whose life's work bridges science, spirituality, and civic renewal. Trained as a biologist, he studied pilot whale and dolphin communication at UC Santa Cruz and San Diego State before earning an M.S. in Biology. His grounding in living systems science later became the foundation for Symbiotic Culture—a framework that integrates spiritual insight with practical tools for regenerative community life.Richard's career spans health, education, and grassroots leadership. He pioneered hyperbaric oxygen therapy programs in Nevada hospitals, taught in community colleges and detention facilities, and led nonprofits including the San Diego Food Bank, Neighbors United, and the Nevada Microenterprise Initiative. Internationally, he served with Sri Lanka's Sarvodaya Shramadana movement, supporting a national network of over 5,000 communities. His work draws inspiration from Jesus and the early church, Gandhi's village republics, and Václav Benda's idea of the Parallel Polis.For Richard, following Jesus is not about dogma, but about daily practice—learning to embody love, reconciliation, hospitality, and neighborliness in a divided world. He sees in Jesus not only the center of his faith, but a bridge across traditions, calling people into deeper connection and shared responsibility.Today, through Symbiotic Culture, Richard mentors leaders across faith, civic, and cultural spheres. In Birthing the Symbiotic Age, he offers a vision for a Global Commonwealth of 50,000 empowered communities—a parallel society rooted in love, justice, and mutual flourishing. He lives on O‘ahu, Hawaii with his wife Marta, drawing renewal from the islands, time with family, and the simple joy of Connecting the Good wherever he goes.LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/richard-flyer-6820727Personal Twitter Handle: @Richard_Flyer Personal Facebook Profile: facebook.com/richard.flyerInstagram Handle: @richard.flyerSupport Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

Did you know that gaslighting doesn't only happen in romantic relationships, but can show up in families, friendships, workplaces, spiritual spaces, and even inside your own mind long after the other person is gone?In this episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan Grau talks honestly about gaslighting, not as a buzzword, but as something that slowly teaches you to doubt yourself. Your memory. Your feelings. Your intuition. Drawing from her own experience and the work she's done with clients, Susan explains how gaslighting can leave you disconnected from your body, unsure of your truth, and constantly questioning whether you were right or wrong.She shares why the impact of gaslighting often continues long after the relationship or situation has ended, and why that ongoing self-doubt isn't a flaw. It's a survival response. Susan also talks about what healing really looks like, and it's not dramatic or confrontational. It's quiet and reparative. Learning to believe in yourself again. Reducing contact with invalidating energy. Setting clearer boundaries. Letting yourself rest, pause, and be silent without guilt.This episode is a gentle reminder that if you were gaslit, you were not weak. You were trusting, open, and human. Healing begins when you stop looking to others for closure and start choosing yourself, even when it feels uncomfortable.In This Episode:[00:00] Introduction [01:30] Gaslighting beyond romantic relationships[02:46] Defining gaslighting and its effects[04:02] Common phrases and accountability avoidance[05:22] Impact on intuition and self-trust[06:44] Personal experience and disconnection[08:57] Overriding intuition and survival response[10:10] Self-abandonment and explaining pain[11:12] Avoiding invalidating people and relearning self-care[12:18] Reparative self-care and trusting yourself[13:33] Physical responses and recognizing gaslighting[14:37] Slowing down and silence without guilt[15:49] Setting boundaries and reducing exposure[17:46] Distance as protection, not punishment[18:42] Self-love as loyalty and choosing peace[19:47] Why people stay and the role of hope[22:02] Healing feels quieter and rooted[23:13] Freedom from needing admission[24:34] The loop: replaying conversations[25:33] Closure comes from within[26:40] Breaking the loop and nervous system repair[27:47] Longer gaps and present-moment healing[28:53] Self-love means releasing the need for clarity[29:30] Conclusion Notable Quotes[03:26] “You stop asking, ‘Is this okay?' And start asking, ‘Am I okay for feeling this?'”[04:58] “Most gaslighting comes from people who cannot tolerate accountability.”[08:45] “Gaslighting separates you from your inner knowing.”[11:22] “You weren't too much. You were too aware for someone who needed control.”[12:09] “Self-care isn't a bubble bath. It's relearning how to listen to yourself without apology.”[13:24] “Your experience is valid because you lived it.”[19:15] “I choose peace over being right.”[21:18] “Staying doesn't mean you were weak. It means you were human.”[21:39] “Leaving is not a failure. It's wisdom arriving.”[25:53] “The same person who distorted your reality cannot be the one who restores it.”[27:47] “Some chapters do not end with understanding. They end with self-respect.”[28:42] “My peace does not require permission.”Susan GrauSusan Grau is an internationally celebrated intuitive life coach, a key opinion leader, author, medium and speaker, who discovered her ability to communicate with the spirit world after a near-death experience at age four.

Tonight, my Haunted Hearts, I'm honored to welcome Ryan Kralik. Ryan Kralik is an author and independent researcher exploring how information shapes the structure of reality, from physics and biology to consciousness and culture. His work draws on systems thinking, contemporary physics, and cognitive science to examine how informational processes underlie physical phenomena and give rise to meaning, perception, and continuity across domains. His writing and research have been featured in Ancient Origins, Greek Reporter, Aperture Magazine, and across a range of programs focused on cosmology, anomalies, and foundational questions about reality. His forthcoming book, It From Us – An Information-First Framework and the Purpose of Consciousness, presents a model in which matter, life, and awareness emerge from information organizing itself toward coherence. Trained in remote viewing and engaged for decades in the study of anomalous phenomena, Kralik brings a disciplined, analytical approach to topics such as UAPs, psi research, and consciousness—seeking an integrated framework that bridges empirical inquiry and human experience without reducing either.

Eric Litchfield is a retired captain from the Santa Rosa Police Department in northern California. During his tenure, he managed divisions and programs that included patrol, traffic, tactical teams, incident management, detectives, professional standards and training, recruiting, and promotion assessments.Captain Litchfield has extensive experience in personnel investigations, policy development, recruiting, crowd control tactics, and managing large scale critical incidents.He is also a graduate of the POST Command College Strategic Foresight program, and a former fellow with the Institute for American Policing Reform.During our time together, we discussed the specific training differences between the men and women who serve as peace officers vs. the training of ICE and Border Patrol agents today in the Trump administration.We talked at length about the tone, tenor, and screening of ICE officers and how their specific training is not focused on working with the public, and why this has proven to be deleterious to the institution of ICE, its agents on the ground, and to American citizens writ large.We also discussed the leadership of J.D. Vance, Kristi Noem, and Steven Miller…specifically…how they have publicly declared “Immunity” for their federal officers, vs. the Qualified Immunity standard they will be held to in a court of law.Captain Litchfield helped me better understand the importance of training, screening, and governance of both state and federal officers and agents. I hope you find this helpful as well.*Note that this episode was recorded before the killing of Alex Pretti on January 24, 2026.*Watch Episode: This is a public episode.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The prosecution has surveillance footage. A ballistics match. An alleged suppressor. But if you're defending Michael McKee, the holes in this case are where you live.How did McKee allegedly enter the Tepe home with no forced entry? Prosecutors haven't explained it publicly. The aggravated burglary charge suggests they have a theory — but until they disclose it, that's a gap the defense can exploit.There's no disclosed motive. McKee and Monique divorced years ago. Police confirmed there were no prior reports from the Tepe address about McKee — no 911 calls, no restraining orders, no documented threats. No ongoing disputes. So why would a surgeon with everything to lose allegedly drive to Ohio and kill two people?Defense attorney Bob Motta analyzes the defense's options. McKee is a vascular surgeon. Intelligent. Educated. Trained in precision. The prosecution's theory requires him to allegedly commit premeditated murder, use a suppressor — and then keep the murder weapon in his own apartment. How does the defense reconcile that with the profile of a careful, calculating person?McKee "disappeared" in the months before the murders. Process servers couldn't find him. A colleague said he just vanished. The prosecution might call that consciousness of guilt. The defense might call it a man moving between jobs.Both Spencer and Monique were shot multiple times. Does the manner of the killings help or hurt the defense? Could they argue this looks more like rage than premeditation — even with the suppressor allegation? Motta breaks down the strategies available and what it would take for McKee to walk.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #TepeMurders #BobMotta #HiddenKillers #DefenseStrategy #NoForcedEntry #ReasonableDoubt #CriminalDefenseJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Homeschooling sometimes begins when parents realize the education system is not serving their child. In this episode of Non Linear Learning, Dr. Vaish Sarathy speaks with Victoria Lenormand, a former detective turned holistic health practitioner and homeschooling parent, about what it takes to trust a child's internal compass and let go of conventional definitions of success. Victoria brings an evidence-based perspective to homeschooling. Trained to observe patterns and follow facts, she applied that same mindset to her son's learning and recognized that a linear schooling model was taking enormous energy just to maintain — without supporting his identity or growth. Together, Vaish and Victoria explore: How to build the mindset needed for homeschooling The 3 factors learning is built around when done right. How to interpret stubbornness or "wilfulness" in a way that works for your child, and Why the energy cost of education is critical information for parents This conversation is for parents considering homeschooling, questioning traditional schooling, or feeling the constant friction between who their child is and what school expects. As we reflect in the episode: "When something in education takes enormous energy just to maintain, it's worth asking whether it's actually working."

In this episode of Viral Mindfulness, I explore repetition as a core value of the soul and a vital practice for staying awake in unordinary times. Part five of the Winter's Edge Soul Care series, this teaching draws on Francis Weller's work to examine how repetition fosters depth, memory, devotion, and resilience—countering our cultural pull toward novelty, progress, and forgetting. Through stories of music, meditation, grief, recovery, creativity, and career reinvention, I invite you to consider repetition not as boring or mechanical, but as musical, rhythmic, and alive. This episode is an invitation to return—again and again—to what matters most. MidWinter Wise Circle Open For Enrollment! Grab your seat → viralmindfulness.com
In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav welcomes Carolina Reis Oliveira and Alessandra Zonari, co-founders of OneSkin, for a rigorous, eye-opening conversation that reframes skincare as a true longevity intervention. Part of the Lessons in Longevity series, this episode asks a bold question: what if skin aging isn't cosmetic at all—but cellular, systemic, and deeply biological?OneSkin began not as a brand, but as a lab-based mission. Trained in stem cell biology, tissue engineering, and genomics, Carolina and Alessandra spent years growing real human skin in the lab to test existing products. What they found challenged the industry: many so-called “anti-aging” formulas increased inflammation, cellular stress, and long-term damage. Meanwhile, longevity science was accelerating—yet skin, the body's largest organ, was being left out of the conversation.At the center of the episode is cellular senescence—a state where damaged cells stop dividing and begin secreting inflammatory signals that degrade surrounding tissue. In skin, this process weakens the barrier, disrupts collagen, and accelerates visible aging. Rather than masking symptoms, OneSkin set out to target this root cause. After screening hundreds of compounds, they developed OS-01, a proprietary peptide shown in lab models to significantly reduce senescent cell burden while increasing collagen—without irritation.The conversation also expands beyond the face. OneSkin's decision to focus on body skin revealed something unexpected: improving the skin barrier may reduce systemic inflammation. Clinical data discussed in the episode suggests that healthier skin doesn't just look better—it may influence whole-body aging.This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about where skincare, biotech, and longevity science truly intersect.Listen to the full episode of Skin Anarchy to hear how OneSkin is redefining skin as a living organ—and why the future of longevity may start at the surface.SHOP ONESKINDon't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!Support the show
https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/ins.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM709_MDM_Nov8_25.mp3 I learned early on that people are always buying. That wasn't an inspirational idea — it came from watching myself stop two calls short on a Friday and realizing I was training my mind to quit before the win. That moment shifted how I think about time, action, and personal responsibility. Why People Are Always Buying (and why it matters)When I worked for someone else, I lived for the moment I could clock out. Once I stepped into running my own company, the truth became impossible to ignore: buyers don't move according to my preferred schedule. They move when I show up. And they keep buying — even through December — when most people mentally check out. I reworked our entire calendar, sold straight through the holidays, and it changed everything. How the “next step” becomes real wealthEvery time I take the step I'd rather skip — make the call, send the message, ask the question — something in me changes. Not eventually. Immediately. That's why people are always buying isn't just about sales. It's a mindset about identity, consistency, and meeting the moment instead of waiting for the perfect one.Everything you want sits in the step right in front of you. Your next sale, your next level of confidence, your next opportunity. And it's available because people are always buying — and the moment you move, the whole trajectory shifts. Episode 680 – Enter the Conversation in your Clients Mind Episode 626 – You Were Born Rich, but Trained to be a Consumer Episode 289 – Six Steps to Manifestation You are successful on paper… but why doesn't it feel like freedom?In February, I'm bringing together a group of driven entrepreneurs for a 2-day business intensive where we strip away the fear, resistance, and patterns that quietly cap your growth, and get you clear on your next breakthrough.Together, we'll uncover what's been holding you back, claim the freedom you've been chasing, and walk away with the clarity and courage to lead your business — and your life — on your terms.And because business growth isn't just about mindset, Steph Tuss is teaching a special marketing session on the latest business-building tactics that are working now.

A must-listen for anyone serious about arboriculture, compliance, and long-term success in the outdoor industry.
FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageThe cubicle jokes were the hook, but the accuracy was the engine. We look at Scott Adams' life and ideas with fresh eyes—how Dilbert named the dysfunction so many of us felt, how The Dilbert Principle exposed bad incentives, and why his most lasting gift may be a set of practical tools for everyday progress. We share how systems beat goals, why routines create momentum, and how talent stacking and energy management let normal people do exceptional work without pretending to be superhuman.From there, we step into his later work on persuasion and clear thinking—Win Bigly, Loserthink, and Reframe Your Brain—and unpack why frames, incentives, and emotional hooks move people more than spreadsheets do. Whether you agreed with his takes or bristled at them, his 2016 prediction about Donald Trump challenged the idea that facts alone decide outcomes. He treated public life like a lab, testing influence in real time and inviting us to watch the mechanics behind the message.We also sit with his final words about faith—humble, urgent, and aimed beyond career and controversy. It's a reminder that systems and stacks are means, not ends, and that clarity of thought should point toward clarity of purpose. Along the way, we share the simple routines that powered 4.5 years of this show and the small, repeatable steps you can start today to build a durable life: write a little, move daily, guard your energy, and stack useful skills that multiply your impact.If this conversation helps you rework one habit or reframe one problem, share it with a friend who needs a nudge.

The One Thing Filter: How to Make Better Decisions as Your Clinic Grows In this episode of the PT Entrepreneur Podcast, Doc Danny shares a simple but powerful idea for clinic owners: pick one core outcome your business exists to create and use it as a filter for every major decision. As your team grows, choices get more complex — what to say yes to, what to ignore, who to hire, what projects to start. Danny breaks down how to choose your "one thing," why money has to be part of it, and how aligning your team around that filter makes leadership easier and your business more stable. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why documentation is the #1 satisfaction killer for many clinicians — and how Claire can remove most of it Why early-stage goals are simple (replace your income) and what changes once you get past survival The "what race are you running?" analogy and how it exposes mismatched decisions How to decide what you actually want your business to look like long term Why "no money, no mission" matters, even for mission-driven clinic owners How PT Biz landed on its own "one thing": helping clients make more money in their clinics How to use a single filter to decide on hires, con-ed, software, space, and new projects How to get your whole team making decisions through the same lens instead of waiting on you Claire: Stop Letting Notes Crush Your Day Danny opens by talking about satisfaction surveys in our profession. Over and over, clinicians say the same thing: they hate writing notes. It is the part of the day that makes them want to quit, and it is the last thing they want to do when they get home. Claire is the AI scribe PT Biz built specifically for physical therapists. Think of it like having a meticulous student in the corner, capturing the details and drafting your notes so you can stay locked in on your patient. Trained on physical therapy workflows and language Drafts notes for you so you are not catching up after hours Helps you remove most of your documentation time and get your evenings back Try Claire free for 7 days: https://meetclaire.ai From Survival Mode to Strategy Early on, business decisions are simple. Your goal is clear: replace your job income so you can safely support yourself and your family. You are willing to work long hours and say yes to almost anything that moves revenue in the right direction. Once that need is met, the decisions get harder. Do you stay small? Do you grow? How big? What kind of life are you actually trying to build around this business? Danny points out that most owners never slow down to answer those questions. They are "jumping out of the plane and building the parachute on the way down," chasing whatever looks like opportunity without checking if it fits the life they want. What Race Are You Actually Running? To explain the problem, Danny uses an endurance analogy. Training for a 5k is very different from training for a marathon. Training for a 100-mile race is different again — in volume, intensity, nutrition, and time. A lot of owners, he says, are making decisions like they are running a 5k — short-term, fast payoff, quick bursts — when in reality they are trying to run a very long, very hard race. Their decisions and their true goals do not match. Get Clear on the Life You Want First Before you can pick a filter, you have to be honest about what you actually want. What do you want your business to look like 5–10 years from now? How big does it really need to be to support the life you want? What matters more to you: growth, time freedom, leadership, selling someday, or staying clinical? Danny suggests sitting down by yourself, and with your spouse or family if you have one, and talking through the kind of life you are trying to build. You might realize you do not need as big of a practice as you assumed — or that you are thinking too small for what you actually want. No Money, No Mission As mission-driven as PTs are, money still matters. Danny shares a lesson from when his wife ran a military nonprofit in Hawaii. Her boss used to repeat a simple phrase: "No money, no mission." If there is no revenue, there is no staff, no programs, no impact. Your clinic is a for-profit business, but the same rule applies. Without healthy revenue, you: Cannot provide for yourself or your family safely Cannot create good jobs with fair pay and benefits Cannot support your community or give back meaningfully Money is simply an exchange of value and trust. You have to get comfortable with it if you want your mission to survive. PT Biz's "One Thing" Filter At a recent planning retreat, the PT Biz leadership team spent hours wrestling with a single question: "What is the most important thing we do for our clients?" They help people with work–life balance, health, relationships, and dealing with the emotional weight of entrepreneurship. Those things matter. But when they drilled down to the one outcome everything else depends on, the answer was simple: The purpose of PT Biz is to help clients make more money in their clinics. When their clients make more money: They can hire better, pay better, and create low-volume environments They can offer true lateral transfers from hospital or corporate jobs They can reduce burnout and build careers that last So now every major decision runs through one filter: "Does this help our clients make more money in their clinics?" How a Single Filter Guides Decisions Once that filter was clear, decisions got easier. Examples Danny gives: Hiring: Does this role help clients grow their revenue or improve their business directly? If not, it is probably a no. Education and con-ed: Does this topic help clients run better businesses and increase revenue? If not, it is lower priority. Events and guest speakers: Do they add to clients' ability to build stronger practices, not just feel inspired? New resources and tools: Do they point back to revenue-producing activities or critical business skills? Instead of chasing every interesting idea, the team now says no to anything that does not connect back to helping clients make more money. Give Your Team the Same Decision Filter As your clinic grows, you cannot be the only person making decisions. Front-desk staff, clinicians, and leaders all have to make calls every day. If they know the filter, they can ask themselves: Does this software, course, hire, or project support our "one thing"? If not, why are we spending time or money on it? When they make a call that is off, you can go back to the filter and see if it is a training gap or a culture issue. Over time, everyone gets better at choosing in the same direction without you micromanaging every move. Your Challenge: Choose Your "One Thing" Danny closes with a challenge for clinic owners: Decide on the single most important outcome your business exists to create. Make sure it is big enough to support the life you want and honest enough to include money. Share it with your team and use it as part of your weekly meetings and training. Run every major decision through that filter so saying "no" and "yes" gets simpler. When everyone knows the race you are running and the "one thing" that matters most, your decisions get clearer, your team gets more aligned, and your business is far more likely to move in the direction you actually want.

This week on Sunday Wire host Patrick Henningsen is joined by teammates Bryan 'Hesher' McClain and Adam ' Ruckus' Clark, and Basil Valentine, to discuss the latest big events – including the Trump Administration's deployment of 2,000 masked Federal paramilitary ICE agents into Minnesota, culminating in ICE executing an unarmed mother and US citizen at point-blank range. According to the White House, this federal Gestapo terrorising communities across America is said to be above the law, thus, anyone deemed to be 'not complying' with them could be arrested, or in the case of victim Renee Good, even killed. Information has also surfaced about Israel's central role in the militarisation and the extremist, violent tactics being employed by ICE. Also, Trump Venezuela caper is already falling apart, as the White House seems unable to cash all the ambitious checks it has written to the electorate, and the world, in order to sell its illegal undeclared war of aggression again the sovereign UN member state of Venezuela. All this and more.
