Understanding the Modern Customer Experience: A Guide for Aspiring Professionals 1.0 Introduction: The Great Customer Experience Divide In today's competitive market, the customer experience isn't just a part of the brand; it is the brand. Every interaction, from a first glance at a social media post to a final click on a purchase button, serves as a referendum on a company's value and trustworthiness. Get it right, and you build loyalty. Get it wrong, and customers will walk away without a second thought. 1.1 The Loyalty Illusion A significant conflict is brewing between how businesses perceive customer loyalty and how customers actually feel. This "loyalty illusion" creates a dangerous blind spot for executives who believe they are succeeding while their customer base is quietly eroding. Executive Belief Consumer Reality ~90% of executives believe customer loyalty has grown in recent years. Only 40% of consumers feel they have become more loyal to brands. This perception gap isn't just a difference of opinion; it's a direct threat to revenue. "About nine out of 10 [executives] say customer loyalty has grown in recent years, but only four in 10 consumers say the same." The business risks of this blind spot are clear: 52% of consumers have stopped buying from a brand due to a bad product or service experience, and 29% have abandoned a brand due to poor customer experience. To close this gap, companies must first understand the entire modern customer journey, which starts long before a customer ever visits a website or store. 2.0 The Customer Journey: From First Glance to Final Click 2.1 Redefining the Starting Line Customer loyalty no longer begins at a company's digital or physical front door. It's now seeded much earlier in what can be called the "experience supply chain"—the connected sequence of interactions that moves a person from curious to committed. This journey often starts in the realm of indirect influence. Key "indirect influence" touchpoints include: A friend's recommendation A discussion thread on Reddit A product review on an independent site While price remains the single most significant factor for 69% of consumers when making a purchase decision, mastering these early stages of discovery and influence is critical for building the long-term commitment that defines true loyalty. 2.2 What Brands Can Do To win customers in this new landscape, brands must adopt a more holistic and proactive approach to the customer journey. Analyze the Journey: Use data analytics and AI to forensically examine every step of the customer life cycle. This allows you to identify and fix points of friction before they drive potential customers away. Embrace New "Front Doors": Treat online comment threads, product comparison sites, and even AI-generated search results as strategic entry points to your brand. These platforms are where modern discovery happens. Ensure Consistency: Align every touchpoint—from social media chatter to post-purchase support—with a cohesive brand narrative. This consistency builds the trust necessary for a customer to move from awareness to action. Understanding the full customer journey is the first step. The next is understanding what customers truly expect from a brand during that journey. 3.0 Beyond the Basics: What Customers Truly Value 3.1 Table Stakes vs. True Delight In the modern marketplace, fundamentals like fair pricing and product quality are no longer differentiators. They are simply "table stakes"—the minimum cost of entry to compete. The real opportunity for brands lies in their ability to layer personalized, meaningful value on top of these basics to create moments of true delight. Factor Considered a Minimum Expectation (%) Considered a Bonus (%) Good value for price 77% 19% Product/service quality 76% 20% Transparent business practices 58% 35% Personalized experiences 17% 62% However, many companies are struggling to keep up. A staggering 70% of executives feel that customer expectations are evolving faster than their company can adapt. This widening gap creates a significant risk of eroding customer trust and losing business to more agile competitors. 3.2 The Generational Lens Customer expectations are not one-size-fits-all; they vary significantly across generations. A strategy that delights one demographic may alienate another. Brands must segment their approach to meet these diverse needs. Boomers: This group is generally less likely to be influenced by a brand's social media presence or its sustainability efforts. Millennials and Gen Z: In contrast, these younger consumers pay close attention to a brand's values, online activities, and social impact. Successfully meeting these varied and rapidly evolving expectations increasingly involves technology, particularly Artificial Intelligence. 4.0 The AI Paradox: A Tool for Help and Hindrance 4.1 High Ambition, High Anxiety Artificial Intelligence represents the new frontier in customer engagement, but its rapid adoption has created a central paradox. While companies are rushing to implement AI-driven solutions, many customers remain wary. A majority of consumers (58%) report being "only somewhat or not at all comfortable" using AI tools to engage with brands. This suggests that AI implementation is often driven more by a company's internal ambition for efficiency than by genuine customer demand, creating a gap between what brands offer and what customers actually want. 4.2 Finding the Right Balance Consumer acceptance of AI is highly nuanced and depends heavily on the specific task. More Likely to Use AI for: Simple, transactional tasks like tracking an order or delivery status (49%). Less Likely to Use AI for: Sensitive interactions like making a payment (29%). Crucially, despite the rise of automation, 86% of consumers still say that human interaction is moderately or very important to their brand experience. The key insight for aspiring professionals is that successful brands don't choose between AI and human support; they integrate them. They use AI for efficiency where it adds value but provide clear, fast paths to human support when empathy, nuance, and judgment are required. This balance between technology and humanity extends to the data that fuels these systems, bringing the issue of privacy to the forefront. 5.0 The Data Dilemma: Balancing Personalization and Privacy 5.1 The Trust Trigger Personalization presents another paradox for modern brands: customers want it, right up until the moment they don't. The desire for a smooth, tailored experience often conflicts with concerns over data privacy, creating a delicate balancing act for companies. "More than half of consumers (53%) think that it's worth it to share personal information if it makes their experience interacting with a brand smoother. But mishandle that data and 93% say that a brand will lose their trust." This dynamic means that every personalization strategy carries a built-in "trust trigger." Respecting data boundaries is no longer just about legal compliance; it has become a powerful competitive advantage. 5.2 What Brands Can Do To navigate this dilemma, brands should adopt a set of core principles that build trust while delivering value. Focus on low-intrusion data: Prioritize using information like stated preferences and past purchases to tailor experiences. This provides value without crossing sensitive privacy lines. Be transparent: Clearly communicate what data is being collected and why. When customers see an immediate and tangible benefit in return, they are more likely to trust the exchange. Empower the customer: Give customers a sense of control over their data. When personalization feels like a choice, it becomes a driver of loyalty, not a red flag. By internalizing these lessons, companies can reshape their approach to building lasting customer relationships. 6.0 Actionable Principles for a Modern Customer Experience To succeed in today's landscape, aspiring professionals should focus on a set of core principles that connect the entire customer journey, from discovery to long-term loyalty. Treat discovery like a make-or-break moment. A customer's journey starts long before they visit your website. Design every early touchpoint as a seamless, story-driven experience. Rebuild loyalty based on behavior, not fantasy. Reassess loyalty programs based on real customer actions and measurable business goals, not assumptions. Segment smarter and personalize with purpose. Move beyond generic demographics to target customers by generation, behavior, and emotional triggers to deliver true relevance. Pair AI with empathy and know when to hand off. Use AI to streamline simple tasks, but ensure a quick and easy path to human support when nuance and empathy matter most. Win the moments that matter or lose customers. Identify the high-stakes moments in the customer journey where loyalty can be instantly won or lost, and design solutions to win them decisively. Turn privacy into a competitive advantage. Build trust by being transparent, providing clear value, and giving customers control over their personal data. Measure what actually moves the needle. Go beyond traditional metrics to track the behavioral, emotional, and financial impact of your customer experience initiatives. These seven principles are the foundational building blocks for anyone seeking to create the exceptional and effective customer experiences that define modern brands.   Source:  https://www.pwc.com/us/en/services/consulting/business-transformation/library/2025-customer-experience-survey.html  

Dominique is back! Dominique took some time off over the summer. Now she is back and full of enthusiasm for the recent Equiosity conversations she's been listening to. In this episode we revisit the conversation we had with Rick Hester, Amy Schilz and Lucy Butler. Rick is the Curator of Behavioral Husbandry for the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado. Amy is in charge of the giraffe at the zoo. Lucy Butler and her husband own the River Haven Animal Sanctuary in Rhode Island. With Dominique we revisit the four operant freedoms, and we consider the parallels between the way zoo animals are managed past and present and the way we keep horses. There is so much we can learn from modern zoo keepers. As Dominique says at the start of the conversation, she's been looking through some of the traditional horse training books she owns and they just seem so out of date especially when she compares them to the work that Rick and Amy talk about. Her takeaways from their interview make for a lively conversation.

When we think of paper flowers, we often imagine something small, intricate, and realistic. But what happens when you scale that beauty up tenfold? In this episode of Paper Talk, Quynh Nguyen, Sara Kim, and Jessie Chui explore the bold, beautiful world of large paper flowers and the practical realities that come with going big. Listen to this Episode to learn: Why large flowers require careful structural planning How to price and protect your work (and yourself) The importance of weather, shipping, and storage considerations Creative ways to include large flowers in your business offerings Creating giant paper flowers is both an artistic and logistical challenge. As Quynh shared, even the smallest miscalculation can cause a flower to droop or collapse. “I watched one of my large flowers start to wilt before my eyes,” she said. “I had to go back and rewire it.” Wiring each petal, reinforcing the base, and using durable materials are essential steps for any large-scale project. For Sara, the biggest lessons came from experience. “Even when my flowers stood perfectly in my studio, they would tip over at outdoor events. Wind, heat, and humidity change everything,” she explained. Over time, she realized that offering large flower installations professionally required more than artistic skill, it required business planning, insurance, and honest client communication. Jessie agreed, adding that the paper flower business side of things can't be ignored. “It's not just about making the flower,” she said. “It's about managing logistics, installation, and liability. Once you step into larger projects, you're responsible for safety and presentation.” So, what should artists know before offering giant paper flowers for events or retail displays? Structure Comes First - Use strong wiring, test every connection, and consider how gravity will affect your flower over time. Hanging or standing pieces should be tested for at least 24 hours before installation. Communicate Clearly with Clients - Set expectations about weather sensitivity and handling. As Sara put it, “Treat paper flowers like real flowers—they're beautiful but fragile.” Plan for Storage and Transport - Large flowers take up significant space. Think about storage, dust protection, and packaging. If you must ship, factor in both the size and fragility—shipping costs can quadruple quickly. Protect Your Business - Event venues often require liability insurance, especially for installations. “Even if you're just setting up a backdrop,” Jessie noted, “you need coverage in case something happens.” Start with One Big Bloom - If you're new to large-scale work, start small. Make one flower for yourself. It's fun, forgiving, and will teach you about scale, structure, and creativity. Despite the hurdles, large flowers remain a showstopper. They command attention, tell stories, and redefine what paper art can be. Whether they're adorning a wedding ceremony, retail window, or photo backdrop, these flowers remind us that art can bloom in any size. As Quynh summed it up beautifully, “Paper flowers can bloom in every size. The key is knowing how to make them stand tall.”

Are you trying to set teen boundaries without your child calling you “controlling” or “the worst parent ever”?If you want your teen to live by high standards—around tech, food, friends, habits, and lifestyle—you can't just make it your standard and enforce it. It has to become their standard. In this episode of the Extraordinary Family Life Podcast, Greg and Rachel break down exactly how they helped their own teens buy in so deeply that they now say things like, “I'm not putting that garbage in my body,” or “I don't waste my life on that.”Instead of rules and power struggles, they show you how to prioritize relationship over rules, lean on unconditional love, and teach the laws that govern health, happiness, success, and addiction—so your kids see for themselves where certain choices lead. When teens understand the why behind your standards, they stop feeling controlled and start choosing those standards for themselves.You'll also hear how the Dennings have intentionally made real life more compelling than video games or junk food—often inviting friends along for the ride—so the “different” lifestyle isn't a punishment, it's an upgrade.If you've ever wondered, “How do I hold the line without wrecking the relationship?” this conversation will give you a new framework: less control, more conviction—and a family standard that everyone owns.

Sat Dharam Kaur, co-founder of Compassionate Inquiry with Dr. Gabor Maté, spent years discovering something profound: each addiction points to a specific childhood trauma. Not random. Not a moral failing.In this Mind Architect episode, Sat Dharam Kaur reveals how she decoded Gabor Maté's therapeutic approach into Compassionate Inquiry—a method now taught to trauma therapists worldwide. She shares the hidden connection between what we're addicted to and what we experienced as children, along with the healing path that addresses addiction at its root.You'll discover why smoking addiction often traces back to loneliness, alcohol addiction to feeling unheard and work addiction to a core belief about worthiness. Sat Dharam Kaur explains the Compassionate Inquiry principles that allow healing without rescuing, the naturopathic protocols that rebalance brain chemistry and how Kundalini yoga activates the vagus nerve to support addiction recovery.This isn't about willpower or 12 steps. It's about understanding the pain behind addiction and addressing it.Her Beyond Addiction program integrates Compassionate Inquiry with 45 years of Kundalini yoga practice and naturopathic medicine. She's worked with Gabor Maté since 2009, transcribing hundreds of hours of his sessions to identify the patterns that make trauma healing possible.Whether you're working with addiction recovery, supporting someone you love, practicing as a therapist, or trying to understand your own patterns—this conversation offers clarity on the trauma-addiction connection and a path forward.BOOKS REFERENCED:In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts by Dr. Gabor MatéThe Complete Natural Medicine Guide to Breast CancerThe Complete Natural Medicine Guide to Women's HealthA Call to Women: A Healthy Breast Program and WorkbookPRACTICES & PROGRAMS:⁠Compassionate Inquiry Training⁠ Beyond Addiction Program (16 modules: CI + Kundalini Yoga + Naturopathic Medicine)Kundalini Yoga on ⁠Sat Dharam Kaur's YouTube channel⁠Compassionate Inquiry ⁠Romania⁠ → local training & communityTHERAPY MODALITIES MENTIONED:Compassionate Inquiry (CI)Internal Family Systems (IFS)Somatic Experiencing (SE)Kundalini YogaTHREE QUESTIONS FOR HEALING:What needs were unmet in your childhood?What emotion did you experience when that was happening?What did you believe about yourself?"(00:00:00) Intro""(00:04:56) The car accident, mom's alcoholism and aftermath""(00:09:12) From art and science to naturopathic medicine""(00:17:17) From reading the book to meeting Gabor""(00:21:09) Decoding Gabor's method by transcribing hundreds of hours""(00:22:41) Gabor: I don't know what I'm doing.

What happens when you stop chasing views and start designing for belonging? When the world went online, most virtual events started to feel the same, flat, distant, and forgettable. But not for Rachel Elnar, Heather Lynn, and David Carberry. Together, they built some of Adobe's most loved digital experiences: Creative Jams and The Perfect Match, a 1970s-style design game show complete with music, lights, wigs, and real connection. These weren't webinars. They were living, breathing events that made thousands of creatives feel seen. Each brought something vital: Rachel's heart for community, David's director's eye for rhythm and flow, and Heather's producer's instinct for care and calm. Their shared secret? Treat every audience like a room full of humans. When layoffs hit, they took that shared language and built something new: Together By Design—a creative studio helping others build programs with purpose, host events with empathy, and grow communities that last. This is a conversation about saying yes to collaboration, honoring craft, and leading with care in a digital world that often forgets what connection really means. In This Episode + What makes a live event feel alive, and how to design for it + The small touches that make an audience feel seen + Why systems and empathy are equally important behind the scenes + The difference between an audience and a community (and why it matters) + A behind-the-scenes story of a live show gone wrong, and what it taught them + Why joy and structure are the true foundation of creative work Guests Rachel Elnar is a creative producer, designer, and founder of Together By Design. She previously led Adobe's Creative Jam program, helping thousands of designers connect and grow. Heather Lynn is a digital events producer and educator who helps speakers and teams show up with confidence, presence, and calm. David Carberry is a director who sees live production as choreography for people, story, and emotion, and loves when the unexpected brings beauty. Key Takeaways + Design events for belonging, not performance + The most powerful tool in live work is empathy + Systems create space for spontaneity and joy + Building community requires care before, during, and after the show + When you respect your audience, they'll keep showing up The Heart of It At its heart, this episode is about something bigger than events. It's about presence. About noticing the people on the other side of the screen. Because when we create with care, whether it's a meeting, a mural, or a moment—we remind the world what it feels like to be together.

Watch this episode on YouTube! In this energizing episode, Kirsten dives into the connection between your personal energy and your business success.  From sleep and nutrition to boundaries, community, and environment - she shares practical ways to recharge and sustain your energy so you can show up as your best self every day, both at work and at home. Key Takeaways: Energy Drive Success - your personal energy affects every area of your business - decision-making, creativity, relationships, and growth. Treat it as one of your most valuable business assets. Prioritize Restful Sleep  Create a tech-free sleep zone (no phone in the bedroom!) Use "Do Not Disturb" settings for uninterrupted rest. Build a peaceful bedtime routine: Calming scents, magnesium, cool/dark room, and consistency. Quality sleep fuels productivity, focus, and emotional balance. Schedule White Space Don't pack your calendar solid - schedule mental breaks Use commute time or shot gaps to breathe, reflect, and reset. Protect time for creativity and rest - they're essential for high performance. Manage Your Commitments Volunteerism and community service are valuable, but choose them intentionally. Say "no" with grace when your schedule or energy doesn't allow for more. Focus your giving on causes that truly align with your purpose and values. Fuel Your Body for Energy Nutrition equals energy - eat foods that sustain, not drain, you. Increase protein, fiber, and whole foods; minimize sugar and alcohol. Check in with your doctor regularly to understand what your body needs. Build an Energizing Community Surround yourself with people who uplift and inspire you. Take initiative in relationships - don't wait for connection, create it. Protect your emotional energy from draining dynamics. Design Your Environment for Flow Tidy spaces, good lighting, and organization promote calm and focus. Rearrange items seasonally to refresh energy flow. Make habits easy by designing your space around them (e.g. keep a water bottle nearby). Move Your Body Daily Movement enhances clarity, mood, and longevity. Find what fits your body now - walking, yoga, strength training, or stretching. Small, consistent movement is better than burnout-level workouts. Final Thought: Your energy is your greatest business tool.  When you nuture it - through rest and  intention, and everything in your business and life will flow more effectively.

Pee-wee's Playhouse: "Playhouse for Sale"Come on in, and pull yourself up a chair (Like Chairry!) Kevin Cafferty joins us for the series finale of the hugely popular fusion of Saturday Morning kids edutainment and underground surrealist performance art, and its melancholy clip show goodbye inspired by Howdy Doody. We get into the alt-comedy and punk roots of the Pee-wee Herman character, Pee-wee mania in the 80s, the horrible ways Paul Reubens and his sexuality was handled by the media, and why this finale centers on Miss Yvonne and the playhouse puppets rather than Pee-wee himself.Check out Kevin's Podcasts:Gleaming the TubeBest Stuff in the WorldA proud part of⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tip us on Ko-Fi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Gimmicks Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠gimmickspodcast@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Theme song:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"Disco Tears" by Raven⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Creative Commons Attribution 3.0⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sources: ⁠Inside Pee-wee's Playhouse: The Untold, Unauthorized, and Unpredictable Story of a Pop Phenomenon (2012) by Caseen GainesPee-wee as Himself (2025) a documentary by Matt WolfNo Trick, Just a Treat (2021) by Chris Azzopardi for Philadelphia Gay NewsCritics Notebook: ‘Pee-wee's Playhouse redux: Bonus talk with Paul Reubens” by Robert Lloyd for the LA TimesAlison Mork - Under the Puppet #91Kevin Carlson - Under the Puppet #9

Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. The guys asked Mike about his card collecting days and he explained why 1976 was a big year. Mike also gave quite an interesting take on an ice cream topping. Once the talk got to football, it turned to Aaron Rodgers and if he would play in Chicago on Sunday. Mike expects Rodgers to play and that he will do everything in his power to play against the Bears one more time. Mike thinks Rodgers is aware that this could be his final season, which could make it more difficult to keep him out of games. The guys asked Mike about the tussle between Ja'Marr Chase and Jalen Ramsey on Sunday, which resulted in Ramsey's ejection and Chase's suspension.

While short-term ketogenic diets may aid weight loss, new research links prolonged ketosis to liver stress, impaired insulin secretion, and cardiovascular problems Long-term fat reliance increases circulating free fatty acids, burdening the liver, disrupting glucose regulation, and weakening metabolic flexibility — key factors in overall energy stability and heart health Elevated liver enzymes and triglyceride levels on keto indicate hepatic overload. This signals that the body is struggling to manage excess fat turnover and oxidation Treat keto as a short-term metabolic intervention, not a lifestyle diet. Gradually reintroduce whole-food carbohydrates to support steady energy, hormonal balance, and overall metabolic health To support balanced metabolism and long-term liver and heart health, keep total fat below 30% of daily calories, eliminate seed oils from your diet, and consume sufficient dietary fiber

Megan chats with Zoe Forestier about using structure, batching, and mindful planning to protect your energy, sustain creativity, and actually enjoy the blogging journey, especially during high-pressure seasons. Zoe is the voice behind Girl Meets Fire, where she shares Puerto Rican recipes with a global audience. Her work blends tradition with modern strategies, from food photography to SEO-driven content planning. Alongside the blog, she developed the Firestarter Planner, a tool designed to help food bloggers streamline their workflows, track ideas, and stay consistent without burning out. Her passion lies in making content creation manageable and sustainable for fellow bloggers. Food blogging can feel like juggling a dozen spinning plates. Zoe has found a system that keeps her grounded. She shares how she uses planning as both a productivity and mindset tool. From batching content before Q4 chaos to color-coding creative focus, she teaches us how organization can actually spark more joy.  Key points discussed include: Structure sparks freedom: Systems don't cage creativity, they protect it. Plan ahead for peace: Treat each quarter like a recipe and prep the ingredients early. Batch like a pro: Group similar tasks to save mental energy and time. Mindset over hustle: Your planner can become a self-care practice, not a stress list. Simplify your workspace: One planner beats seven notebooks every time. Build in joy: Scheduling breaks and simple rituals keeps burnout at bay. Stay consistent, not perfect: Progress compounds when you stop starting over. Ground yourself in purpose: Every quarter, revisit why you started, then plan from there. Connect with Zoe Forestier Firestarter Planner Website | Instagram

If you've had a caesarean before, you've probably been given a whole mix of advice about what to do next time. Some people warn you off VBAC. Others tell you to go for it. And then there's you, stuck in the middle, trying to make sense of it all.In this week's episode of The Science of Motherhood, Dr Renee White chats with Dr Hazel Keedle, one of Australia's leading VBAC researchers and a Senior Lecturer of Midwifery at Western Sydney University. Hazel has spent decades listening to women, studying their stories, and breaking down what truly supports a positive birth after caesarean. She's down to earth, easy to listen to, and offers the kind of straight-up clarity mums are craving.Renee and Hazel talk through what actually matters, what's outdated, and how you can feel more confident in your choices moving forward.You'll hear about:Hazel's four factors framework for planning a supportive VBAC.Why “once a caesarean, always a caesarean” is old thinking.How your care team shapes your experience more than you realise.The system pressures that mums often feel, but rarely get explained.Practical tips for choosing people who genuinely support your birth wishes.You're allowed to slow down, ask questions, and choose the care that feels right for you. VBAC isn't about proving anything. It's about feeling informed, backed, and respected. This episode will give you that grounding so you can move forward with more clarity and less noise.Resources and Links

Treat ADHD, lower Alzheimer's risk?The episode explores emerging evidence that simply having ADD/ADHD raises lifetime Alzheimer's risk—yet appropriately treating it in adults, often with low-dose stimulants, seems to push that risk back down. How can the same class of drugs be both feared as “brain-burning” and yet potentially brain-saving—and what does that mean for people already in midlife?Treating prostate cancer successfully with--testosterone? Listeners are introduced to a first-in-oncology “directed evolution” case in metastatic prostate cancer, led by Dr. Lemanne's team, where high-dose testosterone was deliberately used to expand treatment-sensitive cells—and only then was hormone blockade re-introduced. But did this radical, counterintuitive maneuver actually work?Emotional trauma in youth as a hidden Alzheimer's driver? Dr. Gordon discusses links between youth emotional trauma to higher rates of Alzheimer's decades later, even in people who appear to have “moved on.” Is this just correlation, or should early emotional trauma be considered a subtle form of brain injury that can and should be addressed?Do you go to bed later on weekends, by just 1-2 hours, but make up for it by rising later?  If so, you'll want to know that you may be increasing your risk of breast or prostate cancer.  This episode explores that research.Have you heard of the new Alzheimer's blood tests, that improve as the patient improves, allowing better direction of treatment? Dr. Gordon walks us through the ATN panel (amyloid-beta, p-tau, neurofilament light), now accessible through routine laboratory tests, along with galectin-3 as a tau-clustering, inflammation-linked marker, and a new infusion drug (TB006) targeting that pathway. But can these numbers really be moved in the right direction with targeted lifestyle and medical interventions—and what happens when they are?Enjoy this unusual episode! And write to us.

Often described as the "cosmic library" or "universal database" containing the energetic imprint of every soul's thoughts, actions, emotions, and experiences across lifetimes, the Akashic Records have fascinated mystics, psychics, philosophers, and truth-seekers for centuries. We explore the origins of the Akashic Records, tracing the idea back to ancient Eastern traditions. The Sanskrit word "Akasha," meaning "ether" or "sky," forms the foundation of this spiritual concept: a realm where all information—past, present, and potential future—exists beyond the physical world. Theosophists in the 19th and early 20th centuries expanded the idea, suggesting that gifted individuals could access this dimension to gain knowledge far beyond normal human understanding. Throughout the episode, we dive into what the Akashic Records allegedly contain. Many believers say that every soul has its own "record," documenting past lives, soul contracts, karmic lessons, unresolved traumas, spiritual gifts, and even future possibilities. We examine how modern practitioners claim to access these records using meditation, altered states of consciousness, or guided visualization. Are these practitioners tapping into a higher spiritual plane—or reaching deep into their subconscious mind? As always, we present the phenomena from both mystical and skeptical viewpoints, giving listeners the space to draw their own conclusions. We also share compelling stories and reported encounters from individuals who say they have accessed their records. Some describe receiving healing messages, seeing vivid scenes from past lives, or feeling overwhelming waves of peace and understanding. Others report encountering guides, ancestors, or beings of light who help interpret what they see. These accounts raise intriguing questions: Are these genuine spiritual experiences, symbolic visions, or manifestations of the psyche? From a paranormal perspective, the Akashic Records intersect with many themes we've covered on the podcast—past-life memories, near-death experiences, mediumship, psychic awakening, and the concept of a collective consciousness. We explore how these ideas may connect and whether the Records could serve as the mechanism behind mysterious human experiences such as déjà vu, profound intuition, or sudden unexplainable knowledge. As always, we bring the conversation home with thought-provoking analysis. Could the Akashic Records be real? If they exist, what does that mean about the nature of reality, the soul, and the interconnectedness of all living beings? And if they are simply metaphorical or psychological, why do so many people across cultures feel drawn to this idea? A Basic Method for Accessing the Akashic Records 1. Set a Clear Intention The Akashic tradition teaches that your intention is your key. Before you begin, sit quietly and think about why you want to access the Records. Examples: "I want clarity about my purpose." "I want insight into past patterns." "I am seeking healing or guidance." Say your intention silently or out loud. This focuses your awareness on a higher state of consciousness. 2. Create a Calm Environment Find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed. Dim lights, sit comfortably, and take several deep breaths. Your mind should feel calm but alert. Some people like to: Light a candle Play soft ambient or meditation music Hold a crystal or object that helps them focus Not required—just personal preference. 3. Ground Your Energy Take 5–10 slow breaths. Imagine your breath dropping down into your body, relaxing your feet, legs, torso, arms, and head. Some visualize roots growing from their feet into the earth. This helps stabilize your energy before trying to reach upward. 4. Use a Gateway Meditation Here is a simple visualization: Close your eyes. Imagine a beautiful staircase or pathway leading upward. At the top is a door or bright energetic field. This symbolizes the entrance to the Records. Walk toward the door slowly in your mind. When you reach it, imagine a librarian, guide, or guardian greeting you. Ask silently: "May I access my Akashic Records?" If the answer feels like a yes (calm, open, expanding feeling), proceed. If it feels like a no (tension, discomfort), stop and try another day. 5. Ask a Clear Question Once "inside," hold your intention and ask one question at a time. Examples: "What soul lesson am I learning right now?" "What pattern should I release?" "What is my next step for growth?" "What past life influences my present challenge?" Pay attention to what comes through: Images Words Feelings Memories Sudden realizations The Records rarely appear like a literal library—most people receive symbolic or intuitive impressions. 6. Receive Without Judgment Don't force anything. If nothing happens at first, that's normal. Many people need practice. If something does come through, simply observe: What emotion accompanies it? Does it feel wise, peaceful, or expansive? Does it help you understand your life better? This is the core of the experience. 7. Thank the Records and Close the Door Before ending, always close respectfully. Visualize the Records fading or the door gently closing. Take a few breaths and ground yourself again. This helps prevent lingering emotional or energetic openness. A Few Helpful Tips Consistency matters—people improve with repeated sessions. Keep a journal to track what you experience. Never attempt a session while emotional, tired, or unfocused. Treat the Records like a sacred or deep psychological space. Join us for a deep and fascinating discussion as we open the metaphorical doors to the universe's library—exploring the mysteries, myths, and possible truths behind the Akashic Records.

If you asked people today what it means to find true freedom, the answers always seem to point back to you. “Love yourself.” “Treat yourself.” “Take care of yourself.” “Believe in yourself.” But if we can be prisoners of our own struggles, like anxiety, and addiction, and despair, are we really the answer to setting ourselves free? To dig a little deeper behind our belief in self-fulfillment: is happiness what life is all about? While it's natural for parents to want happiness for their children, God wants holiness for you and for me. Instead of fitting in, God calls us to stand out, we are wholly fulfilled in Him. Have you discovered the freedom of abiding in His love? Because holiness is “Christ in me”.

When my goldendoodle Tucker threw up on my brand new living room rug within 24 hours of installing it, I learned firsthand what works and what doesn't when it comes to removing pet stains.  In this episode, I share the exact steps I took to clean it up quickly and effectively, plus a few common mistakes to avoid. You'll hear my favorite products for stain removal—like Folex, Soilove, LA's Totally Awesome, and Capture—and how each one performs on different messes. Whether you're dealing with pet puke, coffee spills, or muddy footprints, this episode will help you rescue your rug and keep it looking (and smelling) fresh.   HOW TO REMOVE PET VOMIT & STAINS FROM YOUR RUG Neutralize the acid.Pet vomit is acidic, so your first step is to neutralize it before trying to clean it. Mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda with 1 cup of water, then pour or sprinkle the solution over the stained area. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to neutralize the acid and loosen the stain. Scrape and blot. Don't rub!After the baking soda mixture has sat for a bit, gently scrape from the outside of the stain inward using a spoon or dull edge (this prevents spreading). Then, blot the area with paper towels or a clean white cloth to absorb as much moisture as possible. Avoid rubbing, because it can push the stain deeper into the fibers. Treat the stain.Once you've blotted up most of the mess, spray the area generously with Folex Instant Carpet Spot Remover. Let it air dry. No need to rinse. You'll be amazed at how quickly the stain disappears!   LINKS & RESOURCES Sierra Ivory Opal Rug from Ruggable Capture Carpet Total Care Kit Folex Instant Carpet Spot Remover Soilove Laundry Soil-Stain Remover (2-Pack) LA's Totally Awesome All Purpose Cleaner Spray   WHERE TO LISTEN The SavvyCast is available on all podcasting platforms and YouTube.

What if midlife wasn't a crisis… but a dress rehearsal for how you actually want to live?Episode Summary:In this episode of The School of Midlife Podcast, Laurie sits down with Francine Azel, a woman who is embracing midlife not as a breakdown, but as a dress rehearsal for her next chapter. Fran gets real about the intentional work it takes to keep a long-term marriage alive—and why it's worth it. She talks candidly about the growing importance of friendships, the value of play and curiosity, and the permission she's given herself to experiment with how she wants to live.From honoring alone time in a house full of people, to making her relationship with her husband a living, breathing priority, Fran reminds us that midlife is the moment to stop going through the motions and start intentionally shaping what comes next.This isn't about burning it all down. It's about tending to the flames that keep your soul lit.What We Talk About:Why Fran sees midlife as a dress rehearsal—not a crisisThe myth of “coasting” in long-term relationshipsHow she and her husband are reinvesting in their marriageThe growing significance of friendships in this stage of lifeWhy you don't need to “figure it all out”—just commit to the practiceConnect with Fran:Fran is a powerhouse midlife woman living this journey in real time.

"The More You Know" - Robin Deal A million-gallon-a-day perspective, distilled into actionable steps. Robin Deal, AquaPure Product Manager at Hubbard-Hall unpacks how seasoned pros can squeeze more performance—and less sludge—out of industrial wastewater systems without compromising compliance or plant uptime.    From "clear water in a jar" to stable discharge in the field  Robin details a practical jar-testing workflow: start from upstream processes, target pH using hydroxide/sulfide solubility curves, choose the right coagulant (aluminum, iron, calcium, lanthanum, or organics), and validate against metals/COD/BOD/phosphorus before scaling. The test bench isn't the finish line; it's the feasibility gate when you're treating 150,000+ gpd.  Lean wastewater: cost center or controllable system?  Commodity choices (lime, alum, ferric) can generate 70–85% more sludge than optimized blends—driving hazardous waste hauling, clogging lines, and shortening pump life. Robin reframes the "penny-per-pound" price war into a total-system economics conversation: sludge recyclability, maintenance cycles, and realistic break-even targets.  PFAS: remove now, plan to destroy  For hex-chrome platers and other industrial dischargers, Robin shares near-term and emerging options: carbon filtration for immediate removal, evaporation/condensation where capital exists, and destruction pathways under evaluation—advanced oxidation, electrochemical oxidation, "thermobotic agglomeration," and ball milling—with an eye on evolving limits and cost realities.  One Water thinking for manufacturers  "Water is water." Robin introduces the One Water mindset for plant leaders: tighten internal loops, reduce community draw and discharge impact, and align non-contact, potable, and wastewater under one stewardship model. It's not a club—it's a decision framework that's already influencing global brands and drought-stressed regions.  Treat each round of testing as a hypothesis check, each chemical as a system lever, and each gallon as a shared resource. That's how leaders turn compliance into predictable results.

Mike Hanson, CTO at Clockwise, joins the show to break down how our relationship with computers is changing as language based systems reshape expectations. We explore why natural storytelling feels so intuitive with today's AI tools, how context is becoming the new currency of great software, and why narrow AI is often more powerful than the industry hype suggests.This conversation gives tech leaders a grounded look at what is real, what is noise, and what is coming fast.Key Takeaways• Natural storytelling is becoming the default way people communicate with AI, and products must adjust to that shift.• Context is the driving force behind great interaction design and LLM powered systems now surface and use context at a scale traditional UIs never could.• Most real world gains come from narrow AI that solves focused everyday problems, not from broad AGI promises.• Multi agent systems and multiplayer coordination are emerging as the next frontier for enterprise AI.• The biggest risk is not model weakness but user uncertainty about when an answer is trustworthy.Timestamped Highlights01:21 What Clockwise is building with its scheduling brain and how natural language creates new value04:13 Why humans default to storytelling and how LLMs finally make that instinct useful08:00 The rising expectation that software should understand context the way people do12:13 The shift away from feed centric design and toward multi person coordination in AI systems17:31 Why narrow AI delivers real value while wide AI often creates anxiety23:52 A real world example of how AI can remove busy work by orchestrating tasks across tools26:24 Why we do not need AGI to meaningfully improve everyday productivityA standout thoughtPeople have always tried to talk to computers in a natural way. The difference now is that the systems finally understand us well enough to meet us where we already are.Pro Tips• Look for AI that reduces busy work across tools rather than chasing broad capability.• Prioritize context rich interactions in your product planning. It will define user expectations for years to come.• Treat multi person workflows as the next major opportunity. Most teams still rely on manual coordination.Call to actionIf this episode helped you think differently about where AI is actually useful, follow the show and share it with someone who is building product in this space.

Today's guest is Bill Smart. Bill is a sport scientist and physical preparation coach specializing in elite fight-sports performance. As the founder of Smarter Performance and the Strength & Conditioning lead for the CORE MMA team, Bill integrates cutting-edge evidence with real-world high-performance systems to enable combat athletes to show up on fight day in optimal physiological condition. Much of the conversation in sports performance hinges on speed and power development, or conditioning, as a stand-alone conversation. Sport itself is dynamic and combines elements of speed, strength, and endurance in a dynamic space. Training should follow the same considerations to be truly alive and effective. In the episode, Bill shares his journey from cycling and rowing to combat sports. He discusses how long isometric holds develop both physical and mental resilience, and their implementation in his programming. The conversation dives into muscle-oxygen dynamics, integrating ISOs with conditioning, and how testing shapes his approach. Bill also explores flywheel eccentrics, fascicle-length development, and why sprinting is a key element for maintaining elastic power in elite fighters.

Watch athletes move in multiple contexts before prescribing anything. Look for how they transition between patterns, not only the end positions. Use video less for judgment and more for curiosity. What is the athlete trying to do? 11:35 – Identifying limiting factors Athletes plateau when coaches overemphasize one metric or capacity while ignoring the real constraint. Look beyond the weight room; technical or psychological factors often drive plateaus. Use minimal testing data to narrow focus rather than justify complexity. Sometimes the limiting factor is overcoaching. Let athletes fail and self-correct. 20:42 – Strength that transfers Transfer happens when strength work complements, not competes with, the sport's rhythm and intent. Prioritize strength that preserves elasticity and timing rather than just force output. Rotate exercises often enough to keep athletes adaptive, but not so often that they lose rhythm. Load movement patterns, not just muscles. Treat every lift as coordination under resistance. 30:01 – Variability and play in training Bill describes play as a teaching tool that restores creativity and problem-solving in athletes. Use small games, uneven surfaces, or timing constraints to build adaptable movers. Variability should be purposeful. Expand coordination bandwidth without losing technical intent. Schedule “uncoached” time in sessions where athletes explore movement freely. 40:36 – Coaching communication and connection Great coaching depends on trust and empathy before information transfer. Deliver feedback as collaboration,

We're back in the trenches. This episode, Ryan joins Sabrina in the studio to unpack YOUR questions including “Are We Dating the Same Guy?” Facebook groups to what happens when your nervous system won't let you relax in a healthy relationship. They talk about what it actually means to trust yourself, why so many of us self-sabotage when things feel good, and how to stop creating stories in your head every time they don't text you back for a day. If you've ever said “I just feel blindsided,” or caught yourself scrolling back through screenshots trying to “decode” someone's behavior… this one's for you. Sabrina dives in on protest behavior, attachment styles, and that moment when you realize it's not about them. It's about your nervous system trying to protect you. If you keep finding yourself in relationships that start fast and end the same way, you're not broken. Your body just learned that fast feels safe. The Art of Going Slow is my new 4-week live program starting November 20. Together, we'll build the tools that help you stay calm, grounded, and connected while dating, without losing yourself in the process. Doors close November 18.
