Two common financial traps retirees fall into when trying to protect themselves are certain types of life insurance policies and buying lifetime income annuities. On the show this week, I explain why these products might not be as effective as they seem and give practical advice for evaluating your retirement options. I also answer listener questions about 401(k) contribution limits, health insurance before Medicare, suspending Social Security benefits, and what happens to your 401(k) loan if you retire.    You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...   [03:37] Life insurance retirement pitfalls [08:18] Understanding fixed indexed annuities [15:43] Discussing insurance contracts [20:07] Understanding Medicare and ACA Options [20:54] Balancing retirement income and health costs [26:39] Suspending Social Security benefits [29:13] Paying off 401 loan before retirement [33:37] Understanding annuities and IRAs   Do You Really Need Life Insurance in Retirement?   For many retirees with sufficient assets and financial independence, life insurance may no longer be necessary. The mortality risk may have passed, and continuing to pay premiums could be a poor use of resources. A major pitfall arises with Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) policies. These policies sound impressive—$500,000 coverage, for example—but only pay out for very specific, often rare, qualifying accidents. The stringent exclusions mean most people are unlikely to benefit. AD&D policies can lull holders into a false sense of security, making them believe they have broad protection when, in reality, their coverage is extremely limited. Lifetime Income Annuities   Annuities, particularly fixed indexed annuities with lifetime income riders, are often marketed as a way to "guarantee" income throughout retirement. So how do these contracts work? For example, you might pay $100,000 for a guaranteed $6,000 per year for life. The catch is that the $6,000 payout doesn't grow with inflation. As the years pass, all living expenses—groceries, utilities, insurance—tend to rise, but the income from a fixed annuity stays the same. Without cost-of-living adjustments, retirees locking in fixed income are at risk of losing purchasing power and financial flexibility as time goes on. The same warning applies to fixed pensions, especially ones without inflation protection. Health Insurance Before Medicare   One major reason retirees wait until age 65 to leave the workforce is the difficulty and cost of securing health insurance before Medicare eligibility. COBRA can be prohibitively expensive—one example cited was $1,200 per person, per month. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is an option, with subsidies available based on income. Some choose private plans or use a spouse's employer insurance. Explore all health coverage options, compare prices, understand potential subsidies, and plan your retirement date accordingly. Temporary coverage before Medicare is often just a bridge, but one that must be carefully planned.   Social Security Suspension   If your financial situation changes—due to inheritance, increased income, or the need to minimize taxable income—you can suspend your Social Security at full retirement age to accrue delayed credits, resulting in a higher benefit when you restart. This strategy isn't widely known, but can be a powerful option for optimizing retirement income.

A mink can look small and “cute” right up until you see what it does to a river. We're out on the ground with Robert from the Scottish Invasive Species Initiative, setting mink rafts and talking through the real mechanics of American mink control in Scotland. If you've ever wondered how conservation work actually looks day to day, this is the muddy boots version, complete with ropes, rafts, signal checks, and the kind of simple decisions that make or break a project.We get into the full setup: clay pad monitoring to confirm mink footprints, live capture traps mounted on floating rafts to reduce bycatch, and the remote monitoring units that send a text or email the moment a trap triggers. Robert explains why these traps often work without bait at all, how mink curiosity drives captures, and why flood conditions and winter water levels change how long you can safely leave equipment out. We also talk scale, because trapping only works when coverage is wide enough to stop reinvasion along connected waterways.Then we tackle the questions people always ask next: what a volunteer does when a trap fires, how humane dispatch is handled (and why training matters), and what happens after capture, from using scent as lure to contributing blood and fur samples for university disease studies. We zoom out to the bigger invasive species management picture too, including giant hogweed, Himalayan balsam, and Japanese knotweed control, because restoring habitat is never just one problem at a time.If you live near a river, burn, pond, or even city water, you can get involved and make a measurable difference for water vole conservation and native bird populations.

Medicare expert Diane Omdahl of 65 Incorporated — author of Medicare for You: A Smart Person's Guide — joins Terry, Richard, and Pam for Part 2 of this Medicare Open Enrollment series, and the message gets more specific: your Annual Notice of Change won't tell you everything.   Diane explains why you have to dig into your plan's provider directory yourself (Medicare's official tool has real accuracy problems), what's really happening to dental, vision, and "extra benefit" allowances in Medicare Advantage plans, and why PPOs offering out-of-network flexibility often aren't the safety net people think they are. She also breaks down a guaranteed-issue loophole most people don't know about — if your Advantage plan disappears entirely with no replacement offered, you get a short window to buy a Medigap policy with no health underwriting.   The back half digs into standalone Part D drug plans: disappearing $0-premium options, coinsurance creeping into cheaper drug tiers, the end of the federal premium cap, and why the cheapest monthly premium is often the most expensive plan overall. Diane also shares how her tool, HeyMOE (heymoe.com), compares far more drug plans and pharmacies than Medicare.gov's Plan Finder.   Coming up next: trusted, no-sales-pitch resources to help you make these decisions with real, personalized help.   Links: ●       Sixty-Five Incorporated ●       Find the plan that works for you (Medicare.gov) ●       Medicare For You: A Smart Person's Guide (Amazon) ●       34 health systems dropping Medicare Advantage plans | 2026 (Beckers Hospital Review) ●       Humana exit notices loom for 600,000 Medicare Advantage members (Healthcare Finance) ●       HeyMOE – Medicare Part D Comparison Tool (HeyMOE.com)

Presented by Jenn Miller I want to explore the thought that “boundaries are bad.” Now, I don't mean the boundaries that we choose for ourselves—I like those boundaries because I am in control of them! But what about boundaries in life that I'm not in control of, that I don't choose? Maybe being a caregiver for an aging parent limits your time and resources. Maybe a physical condition keeps you from certain types of activities. Financial need might require you to work more and limit your ability to serve in an area of interest. These “boundaries” often derail the plan we had set and can be disappointing. But Psalm 16:5-6 provides encouragement. It says, Lord, you have assigned to me my portion and my cup, you have made my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. So, this psalmist paints a picture of the Lord giving him a God-ordained lot. Picture a yard with a fence around it. Just like a plot of land is portioned out and the boundaries of it are marked, the Lord in his wisdom has given you and me a lot. Psalm 16 says this lot is secure. It has set boundaries that are good, the psalmist even goes so far to use the word “pleasant,” and that this set amount leads to a delightful inheritance. God in his perfect and loving wisdom has placed certain limits in your life for your good. These boundaries are not meant to harm you but to serve as guardrails to lead you to the specific work God has for you at this time. That doesn't mean I just resign myself to the hard things of life and never seek change. Of course not, but it does mean that I can humbly, and even joyfully, accept what God allows in my life at this season because I know it has been filtered through the hands of my Father who loves me. What unique and specific boundaries has the Father allowed in your life? Take a good look at your lot and thank God for it. For now, it is the means to guide your time, energy, and talents toward what the Lord desires you to pursue.

Presented by Jenn Miller A proverb that always causes me to pause when I read it is Proverbs 14:1: The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down. For any woman who is married, has children, and is working, there is a constant pull for how to use the minutes of the day. A trap in thinking I can fall into is that my family really doesn't need me that much. After all, my husband is a competent adult and my children are getting older and more independent. Surely it is okay to focus more of my attention on other things than my household, right? While there may be seasons where a working wife and mom is needed less in the home, Proverbs 14:1 cautions us that the wise woman builds her house. This is a present continuous verb. It doesn't say “built” in the past and is now done or “will build” again in the future, but it paints a picture of a woman consistently looking to the needs of her family and continuing to build her home. Building is constructive and productive. This woman is attentive to her family's needs and works to meet them. Now contrast this with the foolish woman. With her own hands, she tears down her house. Isn't that sobering? The Bible cautions you and me that if we are not careful, we can actually tear apart our homes and families. Certainly, active sin can tear down a house, but so can neglect. This could come through laziness, but it can also come through pursuing other meaningful work to the point where the family is neglected. I have been guilty of this. There have been times when needs from extended family or ministry commitments have absorbed so much energy that I have very little left for my family. Here is the truth: your family needs to be a higher priority than your job. After your relationship with the Lord, your family should be offered your best attention, energy, and devotion. If this is convicting to you, take time to consider what a focus on building your home could look like. Maybe you initiate a walk around the block with your husband after dinner to check in on how he is doing. Maybe you schedule 30 minutes during the week with each child to enter their world and do something they like. Maybe you are more intentional during mealtimes to ask good questions or read Scripture together. In this season of life, how can you actively build your home? May the grace of the Lord sustain us as we continue to pour ourselves out for the good of our families.

When should a leader ask for input, and when is it better to simply make the decision?In this episode of The Experimental Leader Podcast, Melanie Parish and Mel Rutherford explore one of the trickier parts of leadership: knowing when collaboration is helpful and when asking for input can actually create confusion, frustration, or a false sense of shared decision-making.They unpack the difference between consulting, collaborating, and deciding, and why leaders need to understand their own decision-making authority before asking others for their opinions. If a leader already knows the decision is going forward, asking for input without being clear about what can actually change can erode trust.Melanie and Mel discuss when leaders should involve people who are directly affected by a decision, why routine or preference-based decisions rarely require broad consultation, and how hiring decisions can benefit from input from the people who will actually work with a candidate.They also explore how decision-making changes depending on the organizational context, from academic shared governance to startups and owner-led businesses.The takeaway? Before you ask, know what you are asking for, who needs to be involved, and what you are willing or able to change.Want to strengthen your leadership decision-making and build a clearer leadership practice?Explore the Leadership Blueprint and use promo code ODYSSEY for access.

Budgets suck—and they usually don't work. Steve Rhode and Damon Day discuss what matters more: cash flow, money left at the end of the month, and a realistic plan for saving and handling debt.They examine how debt settlement and credit counseling can hurt people living on Social Security or another fixed income, especially when monthly payments leave too little for food, medication, and other essentials. They also explore spending to impress people, predictable “emergencies” such as tires and home repairs, rising living costs, subscription creep, and whether gig work offers a dependable financial future.The bottom line is simple: stop living for other people's approval, build protective savings, prepare for change, and make decisions based on your actual financial life.Find more practical debt help at GetOutOfDebt.org.

Few things bring together wage and hour law, noncompetes, consumer protection statutes, and state legislatures quite like a TRAP. In this episode, Nicole LeFave and Claire Deason welcome Rob Pritchard, co-chair of Littler's Wage and Hour practice group, to break down the growing wave of laws targeting training repayment agreement provisions, or TRAPs, and other "stay-or-pay" arrangements designed to encourage employees to stick around. From California to New York to Washington state, the conversation explores why these agreements have caught lawmakers' attention, how well-intentioned retention strategies can become compliance challenges, and why employers are discovering that a potential retention tool can look very different depending on the state. One thing is clear: the rules are changing quickly. And when the topic is TRAPs, the last place anyone wants to end up is caught in one. https://www.littler.com/news-analysis/podcast/littler-lounge-caught-trap-navigating-new-laws-stay-or-pay-agreements

Presented by Jenn Miller Is it possible to lead a full life and consistently rest? I think many women agree they need rest and long for it, but it seems elusive like an unattainable dream. There have been times when I have sacrificed to take time away for self-care only to come back more anxious and stressed by the time lost. Does rest come from a spa day or vacation? What is rest and how do we get it? Self-help books and podcasts tend to focus on physical and mental rest strategies that give our finite bodies time to slow down. These are good things, but there is a deeper, more satisfying rest we are made for which only comes through Jesus. In Matthew 11:28, Jesus gives a precious invitation. He says: Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Are you weary? Jesus has a special word for you. He says, “Come to me.” The promise of rest is embedded in coming to him. I love how Augustine said, “Our hearts are restless until they find their rest in Thee.”[1] But what does coming to Jesus for rest actually look like? It means prioritizing relationship—carving out time to spend with Jesus in his Word and prayer. But there is another important facet. Verse 29 says, “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls.” A yoke is a frame fitted over an animal or person to direct their work. Let me just tell you, there are a lot of yokes in this world. I like to think I'm a free individual who makes my own decisions, but when I honestly consider it, I see a yoke of perfectionism, of seeking to please others and wanting to live up to others’ expectations, of needing to fix all the problems around me. What yoke are you under that guides how you live and work? Every yoke we wear is a harsh taskmaster—except one. Jesus invites us to unburden ourselves of every other yoke and instead take his, which he promises in verse 30 is easy and the burden is light. What yoke do you need to replace today? Come to Jesus and live under his authority and guidance for your life. May we find our true rest only in him. [1] Augustine, Confessions, trans. Henry Chadwick (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991), Book I, chap. 1.

In the season three finale of The Inner Edge, Janet Ioli tackles the last of the seven leadership traps, the one high-substance leaders resist hardest because it sounds superficial: the image trap.She names the uncomfortable truth underneath this trap: humans and organizations make fast judgments on first impressions, and wishing that weren't true doesn't make it so. She draws a sharp distinction between the two ways this trap catches people: over-polishing until the substance underneath goes hollow, or dismissing image altogether and letting real substance go unseen.This episode closes the arc of the whole season. Janet connects the image trap back to all six traps that came before it, arguing that unexamined inner work eventually leaks outward, and that the real work was never substance versus image, but integrating the two.This is the finale of an eight-part series on the seven leadership traps, based on Janet's upcoming book, Escape the Traps (releasing October 2026).Chapters:00:00:00 Why Talented People Get Passed Over00:01:28 The High Potential CFO Who Couldn't Get Promoted00:04:27 Why Care About Image00:05:53 The Two Sides of the Image Trap00:08:34 Why This Leadership Trap Was Saved For Last00:10:06 The Mirror Question and Season CloseRead the first chapter of Escape The Traps (available October 2026): https://mailchi.mp/5d2dbf42009c/escape-the-traps-chapterWhich trap is running you?

Presented by Jenn Miller What is your definition of a good day? We are considering traps we can fall into regarding work and life. One of the traps I've noticed is that I believed a successful day was dependent on how productive I had been. Do you love check lists? I do! There is something so satisfying about crossing an item off a list. It brings a sense of accomplishment. Conversely, seeing a list of uncrossed items at the end of the day can feel defeating, like the day was wasted. I especially felt this when I had my first child. Try as I might, every task I started was interrupted. My to-do list was never finished, and the type of work I was mostly doing (nursing, changing diapers, washing clothes and dishes, and trying to console my crying baby) did not have a ring of importance or success. I longed for the productivity and success my career offered. A few years ago, a speaker came to my church and asked, “What is your definition of a good day?” How would you answer that? Answers that came to my mind were things like, “Nothing interferes with my plans. Everyone gets along and there is no conflict. It is easy and enjoyable. And of course, everything on my to-do list gets done.” But then he asked, “How would God define a good day for you?” Now that is a very different question. Most likely it would be a day where there is recognition of my need for him, a day filled with repentance and humility. A day where his plan for me (even though it often interrupts my plan) is accomplished. To be honest, those are often hard days, the ones I would choose to skip. Micah 6:8 describes succinctly what the Lord desires. It says: He has showed you oh man what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. This is in a sense the Lord's to-do list for you. It is harder to check off because it is on-going, but in these he delights. The next time you feel yourself frantically working to accomplish the tasks you have set for the day or feeling defeated when you don't, consider what the Lord has actually called you to. The world will tell you, “You are only as valuable as what you produce.” But your value is rooted first and foremost in the blood Jesus spilled on your behalf. As you seek the Lord's kingdom and embrace his call, you will find a much truer success than anything this world offers.

What kills iconic brands like MTV, Nike, Blockbuster, and GoPro? Not bad marketing. Not weak products. But four specific strategic traps that fragment brand story governance — and silently destroy enterprise value from the inside out. Brand strategist and BrandStruck founder Magda Adamska joins Park Howell on the Business of Story to reveal the four strategic traps that cause even the world's most powerful brands to collapse: the Comfort Trap, the Efficiency Trap, Over-Expansion, and Growth-at-All-Costs.

Presented by Jenn Miller The concept of achieving balance between work and personal life has captivated our culture because it seems like everyone is struggling to achieve it. Do you find yourself struggling to balance all life holds? I think it's fair to say that most women in the Western world feel like there's just not enough time in the day. Why is that? Part of the problem is that untrue beliefs have crept in and added unfair burdens. Let's consider the mindsets that can trap us as women into feeling like we cannot manage the life God has called us to. The most common trap is the belief that you can have it all. You know the lie—it expects you as a woman can have a successful full-time career, be a devoted wife and mom, keep an immaculate home, cook only the healthiest family meals, serve regularly in church, keep workout routines, always look fresh and put together, and have that calm and sweet demeanor like it's all no big deal. I'm tired just thinking about that list, but many of us feel the weight of these expectations, and I'm here to tell you the truth. Here it is: You cannot have it all, sister! You were never meant to. God created you and me as finite human beings with a limited time each day, with physical needs for rest and sleep and food, with a limited emotional, mental, and relational capacity. And you know what? Those limitations are not bad! They are God-ordained. Hear this truth and let it be a balm to your heart—God does not call or expect you to do it all! Isn't that good news? Instead, Scripture counsels you and me to continually be discerning, to continually come to the Lord and seek out his plan and his priorities. Where is God calling you to invest your time and energy? As you wrestle with this question, Psalm 25 provides a wonderful posture in which to come in prayer. Verse 1 says: To you, oh Lord I lift up my soul. The Lord is the one we ultimately answer to. Would you lift up your soul to the Lord in order to discern where he is calling you to use your time and energy and where he is not? Verses 4-5 provide a wonderful prayer as a guide. It says: Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. In the midst of hectic days and crazy schedules, may you and I center our hearts on God our Savior, seek his plan, and hope in him alone.

Finding a pattern, recognising it, and then being able to see it on other levels and in other circumstances can be useful. That is what we will do today.Today we look at the pattern of Multipolar Traps and see how it is recurring on different levels, including the foundational level of human psychology, where we will call it a Relational Multipolar Trap.We will see how an individual is trapped inside a pattern that in the moment seems rational but eventually leads to their fear being realised. And we will also see how the basis of this makes clear thinking difficult.

Stop waiting for permission to lead!Most of us have suffered under badly behaved managers, enduring micromanagement, navigating toxic "mindfields," and watching great ideas die at the bottlenecks of the traditional chain of command.We've been sold a lie: that leadership is a title, a rank, or a corner office. Clinging to this outdated assumption limits your potential and leaves your team trapped in a cycle of cynicism and burnout.What if leadership isn't a position you attain but a set of practices you choose?In the fully revised second edition of What the Heck Is Leadership?, Gary A. DePaul, PhD, dismantles the top-down myths that hold organizations back.

A polished presentation, an impressive property and the promise of an 8%, 10% or even 15% return — but do you actually know what you're buying and where those returns are coming from? Recent investment controversies involving Singaporeans are a reminder that a real property or business can sit behind an investment and still leave investors nursing substantial losses. So what questions should you ask before transferring a single dollar? Michelle Martin speaks with Daniel Sim, Founder of Golden Goose Properties, about why even sophisticated investors can get caught, the warning signs to watch for and the five questions he believes every investor should ask before committing their money.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The deeply negative voice in your head isn't private. Your team might not hear it, but they can feel it.In this episode of The Inner Edge, executive coach Janet Ioli turns the mirror on the inner voice of self-doubt and judgment that never quite says you're enough. That voice leaks into your tone, your reactions, and how you carry yourself, until it becomes the emotional weather your team has to navigate.Janet calls this the inner critic trap and opens this episode with a story about herself: at her own book launch party, she introduced guests to "not a real book" while her inner critic tore the work apart. Decades, several books, and a doctorate later, the critic still shows up. What's changed is her relationship to it.She names the psychology behind it, why the critic gets loudest under pressure, and pulls in research that challenges what most high achievers believe about softening that voice.This is the seventh episode in an eight-part series on the seven leadership traps, based on Janet's upcoming book, Escape the Traps (releasing October 2026).Chapters:00:00:00 The Voice That Leaks Into Your Leadership00:01:27 Janet's Own Inner Critic00:03:25 A Trap Even High Achievers Carry00:06:45 Where the Inner Critic Comes From00:07:55 Kristin Neff on Self-Compassion00:08:44 Naming the Critic and Shifting the Question00:13:17 Next Episode: The Final TrapRead the first chapter of Escape The Traps (available October 2026): https://mailchi.mp/5d2dbf42009c/escape-the-traps-chapterWhich trap is running you?

Even if you're 'doing AI right' you're probably lying, hurting others and getting dumb.

In this episode of the Financial Survival Network, host Kerry Lutz is joined by Matthew Tuttle of Tuttle Capital Management to break down the latest troubling economic indicators. Opening with a personal story about soaring everyday prices, Lutz sets the stage for a discussion on stubborn inflation, highlighted by recent PCE numbers rising at 3.7% against the Fed's 2% target. With GDP slowing to 1.5%, Tuttle outlines the sticky position this creates for the Federal Reserve and incoming Chair Kevin Warsh as they head into Jackson Hole and upcoming FOMC meetings. The duo explores the political pressure on the Fed to cut rates, the treasury market interventions by the Treasury Department, and why the long-dormant "bond vigilantes" may force interest rates higher regardless of central bank policy. Turning toward actionable investment strategies, Tuttle argues that traditional 60/40 portfolios and long-duration bonds are currently uninvestable in an inflationary environment. Instead, he shares Tuttle Capital's unique approach to modern portfolio construction: balancing high-upside AI "bottleneck" stocks with "Halo" (heavy asset, low obsolescence) value companies and century-old "Lindy" stocks. He highlights tactile assets like gold and silver—noting key technical signals for silver at $70 and $75—alongside cryptocurrency and property and casualty (P&C) insurance stocks, which he utilizes as higher-upside, zero-benchmark bond substitutes.

This week, Jay takes on M. Night Shyamalan's Trap (2024), starring Josh Hartnett as a devoted dad, a serial killer and a man who picked a truly terrible night to take his daughter to a concert. Mike assigned this one after suffering through it in theaters, but did Jay hate it too? Or was this the rare act of cinematic revenge that somehow turned into a gift? Given Jay's love for the work of M. Night Shyamalan, the chances for the latter are high! After the review, the guys count down their Bottom Five Traps: schemes and setups that fail spectacularly, succeed in spite of themselves or are just plain stupid. Then they say goodbye to a true legend of stage and screen with a round of Kick Two, Pick Two celebrating four iconic Tim Curry performances. Finally, Jay springs one last trap on Mike: his next cinematic torture assignment for the following episode.

How many times have you felt clear about a decision as a mom, only to watch that confidence disappear the moment your big kid became upset? As we parent teens and navigate the empty nest, our kids' disapproval can feel like evidence that we're setting boundaries incorrectly, damaging the relationship, or failing at motherhood. Before we know it, we're overexplaining, backpedaling, or changing a decision just to keep the peace. In this episode, I'm unpacking the Approval Trap and why letting go of your need for your kid's agreement is essential to building self-trust. You'll learn how to tell the difference between thoughtfully reconsidering a decision and reacting to someone else's disappointment. I'll also give you practical questions to help you stop overthinking, stay grounded when your kid pushes back, and listen to their perspective without abandoning your own. You don't need everyone's approval to become the mom you want to be.

Have you swung from endless hustling straight into complete surrender, only to find yourself feeling stuck, passive, and unable to build consistent momentum?

The more experienced you get, the more dangerous your blind spots become. Not less, more.In this episode of The Inner Edge, executive coach Janet Ioli unpacks the fifth leadership trap: judgment. It's the unconscious sorting mechanism that starts screening out the exact information a leader most needs to hear.Janet tells the story of Priya, a client with multiple graduate degrees who plateaued for years after her boss described her as "too smart" to learn from others. Underneath that feedback was an automatic habit: sizing up whether someone was worth listening to, then tuning out the moment the answer was no.This habit has a name: confirmation bias. It's not a character flaw. It's how the brain saves energy, but in leadership it becomes costly fast.This is the sixth episode in an eight-part series on the seven leadership traps, based on Janet's upcoming book, Escape the Traps (releasing October 2026).Chapters:00:00:00 Why Expertise Creates Dangerous Blind Spots00:00:43 Too Smart to Learn From Others00:02:50 Janet's Own Judgment Trap, in Reverse00:04:38 Naming Confirmation Bias00:08:45 Curiosity as a Performance Multiplier00:09:47 The Mirror Question and Beginner's Mind0:12:53 Next Episode: Trap 6Read the first chapter of Escape The Traps (available October 2026): https://mailchi.mp/5d2dbf42009c/escape-the-traps-chapterWhich trap is running you?

Why can someone who treated you terribly still be so hard to get over?You know they lied. You remember the manipulation, the gaslighting, and all the ways they made you question yourself. And yet, even after you leave, you can still find yourself replaying what happened, searching for answers, or wondering whether somehow you were the problem.That's because getting a narcissist out of your life and getting free from their effects are two very different things.In this week's episode, I break down three of the biggest traps that can keep us emotionally tied to a narcissist long after the relationship ends, and what it actually takes to start getting your life back.---►► Ready to Break the Patterns That Keep You Stuck With the Wrong People?

The NFL season is here, and Matt Perrault and Pat Fitzmaurice break down their top NFL Week 1 Survivor Pool picks, early best bets, and potential upset traps. Is Jacksonville the safest play against Cleveland, or should survivor players look toward the Los Angeles Chargers, Detroit Lions, or Pittsburgh Steelers?

The guys dig into Jaguars vs. Browns, Chargers vs. Cardinals, Saints vs. Lions, Steelers vs. Falcons, Patriots vs. Seahawks, Rams vs. 49ers, Eagles vs. Commanders, Bears vs. Panthers, and more. Pat explains why New Orleans could be one of his favorite Week 1 bets, why Bears-Panthers could turn into a shootout, and which favorites he trusts most.
