In this episode of Holy Disruption, Heather Schott sits down with filmmakers Chuck Konzelman and Cary Solomon—creators of Unplanned and Nefarious—to expose the spiritual war within Hollywood and how media has intentionally discipled generations away from God. Together they unpack Hollywood's hidden agendas, from normalized witchcraft and anti-God messaging to the strategic push for abortion and the shaping of cultural beliefs through storytelling. They share firsthand experiences of demonic activity during filming, why they believe Hollywood is collapsing under its own corruption, and how God is raising up a new movement of Kingdom creatives in places like Texas and Tennessee. This episode calls the Church to boldness, purity, and creative obedience as God prepares to reclaim media for His glory and awaken a generation to truth.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: The Unplanned Magic of a Spa Day: When Chaos Brings Laughter Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-11-28-08-38-20-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A napsütés a Gellért Gyógyfürdő gőzölgő vizein táncolt, miközben az őszi levelek aranya tükröződött a medencék felszínén.En: The sunshine danced on the Gellért Gyógyfürdő's steaming waters as the gold of the autumn leaves reflected on the surface of the pools.Hu: Katalin már régóta várta ezt a napot.En: Katalin had been waiting for this day for a long time.Hu: Végre egy szünet a naptárak és határidők világától.En: Finally, a break from the world of schedules and deadlines.Hu: Bence, az örök vidám barát, vele tartott.En: Bence, the eternally cheerful friend, accompanied her.Hu: Úgy gondolta, hogy egy kis móka és nevetés segít majd Katalin-nak kiengedni a gőzt.En: He thought a bit of fun and laughter would help Katalin let off steam.Hu: „Hé, próbáltad már a különleges fürdőpakolást?” – kérdezte Bence, miközben egy kis brosúrát forgatott.En: “Hey, have you tried the special bath wrap?” asked Bence, flipping through a little brochure.Hu: Zoltán, a csendes fürdőalkalmazott, odalépett hozzájuk.En: Zoltán, the quiet spa attendant, approached them.Hu: Egy kis papíron pakoló kezeléseket ajánlott.En: He offered some wrap treatments on a small piece of paper.Hu: Épp hogy csak a fülledt levegő kissé elpirította az arcát.En: The humid air barely flushed his face.Hu: Bence gyorsan akart választani, és talán kissé elhamarkodottan jelentkezett az „ókori iszapkezelésre.”En: Bence wanted to choose quickly and perhaps somewhat hastily signed up for the “ancient mud treatment.”Hu: Katalin, aki szeretett mindent előre tervezni, aggodalmasan nézte ezt a hirtelen döntést.En: Katalin, who liked to plan everything in advance, watched this sudden decision with concern.Hu: „Rendben, akkor az ókori iszapkezelést választjuk!” – mondta Bence lelkesen, és Zoltán bólintott egy kis habozás után, majd eltűnt a kulisszák mögött.En: “Alright, then we choose the ancient mud treatment!” said Bence enthusiastically, and Zoltán nodded after a slight hesitation, then disappeared behind the scenes.Hu: Percekkel később Katalin és Bence feszülten, mégis izgatottan ültek a kezelőszobában.En: Minutes later, Katalin and Bence sat tensely yet excitedly in the treatment room.Hu: A levegő édesen illatos volt a különféle olajoktól.En: The air was sweetly scented from various oils.Hu: Zoltán azonban némi zavarodott arckifejezéssel érkezett vissza, kezével egy apró kanalat fogva, amelyhez némi fehér krém tapadt.En: However, Zoltán appeared back with a somewhat confused expression, holding a small spoon with some white cream sticking to it.Hu: „Ez a pakolás... van valami különleges?” – kérdezte Katalin, próbálva megőrizni nyugalmát.En: “Is this wrap... something special?” Katalin asked, trying to maintain her composure.Hu: Zoltán azonban csak zavartan bámult rájuk, majd megszólalt: „Ó, ez a... modern pakolás, bocsánat, összekevertem.En: But Zoltán only stared at them in confusion before speaking: “Oh, this is the... modern wrap, sorry, I mixed it up.Hu: A másik pakolás már foglalt volt.”En: The other wrap was already booked.”Hu: A szituáció komikus fordulópontjához érkezett, amikor a szomszédos kezelőszobából felhallatszott egy másik vendég nevetése.En: The situation reached a comical turning point when laughter from another guest in the neighboring treatment room was heard.Hu: „El szeretném hagyni a tervezést ma!” – jelentette ki vidáman Bence.En: “I'd like to leave planning behind today!” declared Bence cheerfully.Hu: Katalin ekkor nevetésben tört ki.En: Katalin then burst into laughter.Hu: Ahogy az édesen illatos krém a bőrükön pihent, a hangulat egyszerre oldódott.En: As the sweetly scented cream rested on their skin, the atmosphere relaxed.Hu: Katalin megengedett magának egy mély sóhajt, és rájött, hogy néha a tökéletes nap azzal kezdődik, hogy hagyjuk a sorjákat megborulni.En: Katalin allowed herself a deep sigh and realized that sometimes the perfect day begins with letting plans crumble.Hu: Ahogy hazafelé indultak, Zoltán kedvesen integetett utánuk.En: As they headed home, Zoltán waved kindly after them.Hu: Katalin szívében melegség volt.En: There was warmth in Katalin's heart.Hu: Az apró hibák varázsolták igazán különlegessé ezt a napot.En: The small mistakes made this day truly special.Hu: A fürdő előtt az őszi szellő puhán vonta be a várost, és Katalin úgy érezte, hogy a világ színei ma még ragyogóbbak.En: In front of the spa, the autumn breeze softly enveloped the city, and Katalin felt the colors of the world seemed even more vibrant today.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8352FEDERICA PICCHI SFIDUCIATA DAL CONSIGLIO REGIONALE LOMBARDO PER UN POST di Manuela Ferraro Nell'era delle "Salis" che si vantano della propria disonestà e vengono pubblicamente idolatrate come le eroine dei nostri tempi, Federica Picchi (FdI), sottosegretaria allo sport e ai giovani di Regione Lombardia, è stata sfiduciata dal consiglio regionale per avere ripostato sui social un post del ministro della salute statunitense, Robert F. Kennedy jr., riguardante in particolare la presunta correlazione tra autismo e vaccino per l'epatite B.Ma in che mondo viviamo?Mostrare dati provenienti da ricerche indipendenti, ovvero portate avanti da enti non in conflitto di interessi, che ci invitano a riflettere sul rapporto rischi/benefici di un trattamento sanitario è fare l'interesse del proprio popolo ed è proprio questo che dovrebbe essere il primo obiettivo di un politico che ama il suo paese. O sbaglio?Tra l'altro il ministro della salute Usa non è un pericoloso sciamano "novax" - termine che i media paladini dell'inclusione adorano appiccicare a chi usa ancora la logica solo per intimorire l'audience e dividere le persone - ma una figura istituzionale di alto profilo e rilievo a livello internazionale. Pertanto ne consegue che divulgare le informazioni scientifiche provenienti da tale fonte dovrebbe essere considerato una garanzia di autorevolezza.Invece accade esattamente il contrario.Il dogma moderno del dio-vaccino, così come l'idolatria dell'aborto, sono argomenti scomodi, la cui realtà è più sopportabile se rimane nascosta.Si parla molto dell'aborto come diritto della donna, ma non si affronta mai con coraggio ciò che può rimanere dopo: il dolore, la vergogna, la solitudine, il "che cosa sarebbe stato se...".Nello stesso modo si esalta lo slogan di vaccino-salvavite, ma non si ha mai il coraggio di dare voce al dolore di ondate di uomini e donne danneggiati da questi farmaci spesso a fronte di un beneficio del tutto indimostrabile.Così come i bimbi mai nati anche i danneggiati sono gli invisibili per la nostra società oppressa dal peso degli enormi imperi economici delle case farmaceutiche che guadagnano sulla pelle degli esseri umani.Federica Picchi, non a caso, è certamente molto consapevole del rischio di toccare certi argomenti, ma ha dimostrato di avere il coraggio di affrontarli con la professionalità e la delicatezza di chi crede fermamente nel potere della verità.Dopo anni di brillante carriera come analista finanziario a Londra, nel 2010 fonda Dominus Production, società di produzione e distribuzione filmica e casa editrice per la diffusione di storie vere di valore che tocchino il cuore dei più giovani.Fra i film distribuiti in Italia possiamo menzionare Unplanned e Sound of Freedom, entrambe storie vere che mostrano realtà scomode che nessuno vuole vedere ovvero l'aborto e il traffico sessuale dei minori.A questo punto mi chiedo: la permanenza in carica di un politico può essere ritenuta "non adeguata in quanto le sue affermazioni ledono l'integrità istituzionale e la credibilità delle politiche regionali in materia di salute pubblica", per aver ripostato un post del ministro della salute della Casa Bianca?Pertanto, in base all'articolo 21 della nostra Costituzione che recita "Tutti hanno diritto di manifestare liberamente il proprio pensiero con la parola, lo scritto e ogni altro mezzo di diffusione", il nostro Comitato Prolife Insieme desidera dimostrare pubblicamente la totale solidarietà a Federica Picchi sfiduciata solo per aver espresso il suo pensiero.È importante ricordare che la censura che oggi viene fatta su temi quali aborto, vaccini, traffico sessuale dei minori e teorie gender, domani potrebbe essere ancora più estesa ed oppressiva, in grado di togliere il lavoro a chi non obbedisce.Anche se forse ripensandoci meglio questo fenomeno è già accaduto in un recente triste passato che i media - chissà perché - fanno tanta fatica a ricordare, con l'applicazione dell'obbligo di esibire la famosa tessera verde, meglio conosciuta come il green pass.Ribadisco la mia stima a Federica Picchi per il coraggio di 'osare' per restare fedele alla propria coscienza nella ricerca della verità.

Ко је био најпознатији владар овде? Зашто се баш овде састављају Сава и Дунав?“En: "When was the fortress built? Who was the most famous ruler here? Why do the Sava and Danube meet right here?"Sr: Милош је знао понешто о тврђави али није био стручњак.En: Miloš knew a little about the fortress but wasn't an expert.Sr: Али, није желео да разочара своје нове „туристе“. Одлучио је да се игра улоге водича.En: However, he didn't want to disappoint his new "tourists." He decided to play the role of a guide.Sr: „Тврђава је саграђена у дванаестом веку... или тринаестом... овде су владали многи велики војводе...“ рекао је, мешајући истину с измишљеним детаљима.En: "The fortress was built in the twelfth century... or the thirteenth... many great dukes ruled here..." he said, mixing truth with fabricated details.Sr: „А Сава и Дунав, они су се окупили овде зато што воле добру журку!“ дода он, уз осмех.En: "And the Sava and Danube, they gathered here because they love a good party!" he added, with a smile.Sr: Туристи су се засмејали, али Милош је знао да не може дуго задржати пажњу.En: The tourists laughed, but Miloš knew he couldn't hold their attention for long.Sr: Управо када је рекао да је Ахил заслужан за изградњу једног дела тврђаве, један туриста је подигао обрву.En: Just as he said that Achilles was responsible for building a part of the fortress, one tourist raised an eyebrow.Sr: „Чекајте, Ахил? Хм, нисам знао да је дошао овде са Тројом,“ рече човек са смешком.En: "Wait, Achilles? Hmm, I didn't know he came here with Troy," the man said with a grin.Sr: Милош је схватио да је његова превара откривена.En: Miloš realized that his ruse had been uncovered.Sr: Сав се поцрвенео, али посматрајући групу како се смеје, shватио је да су заправо уживали у његовом импровизованом туру.En: He blushed, but seeing the group laugh, he understood that they actually enjoyed his improvised tour.Sr: „Хвала вам што сте нас насмејали, ово је било незаборавно,“ рекоше му туристи, попуштајући притисак на Милоша.En: "Thank you for making us laugh; this was unforgettable," the tourists said, easing the pressure on Miloš.Sr: Ослобођен од улоге водича, Милош се вратио свом задатку.En: Relieved of the role of guide, Miloš returned to his task.Sr: Ана и Лука стигли су управо на време да се придруже пикнику.En: Ana and Luka arrived just in time to join the picnic.Sr: Све је било како треба – смех, добра јесенска храна и прелеп поглед.En: Everything was as it should be — laughter, good autumn food, and a beautiful view.Sr: Милош је схватио да и кад ствари не иду како је планирао, ипак могу добро да се заврше.En: Miloš realized that even when things don't go as planned, they can still turn out well.Sr: Понекад је лекција у томе да је добро мислити на ногама.En: Sometimes the lesson is that it's good to think on your feet.Sr: Пикник је био успех, захваљујући пријатељима и једном неочекиваном друженју са странцима.En: The picnic was a success, thanks to friends and one unexpected encounter with strangers.

In this episode of "The Pulling Curls Podcast: Pregnancy & Parenting Untangled," Hilary Erickson | The Pregnancy Nurse® is joined by Erin Galloway from She Might to discuss the complexities of unplanned and unexpected pregnancies. Together, they unpack the wide range of emotions—from shock and grief to adjusting expectations and seeking support.

Big thanks to our sponsor The Online Prenatal Class for Couples -- if you're looking for support & helping your partner support you too -- it's the class for you! Today's guest is Erin Galloway. Erin is a licensed master social worker and certified perinatal mental health professional dedicated to empowering women, supporting families, and connecting people with resources and community. Erin is the CEO of She Might, the online resource and community for women walking through unexpected motherhood. Erin is a mom of two, a Phoenix Suns fan, Americano enthusiast, and podcast lover.

Many misconceptions exist about unplanned pregnancies, such as the belief they mostly happen to teenagers or people in crisis, when in reality, they affect people from all walks of life. Feeling conflicted, numb, overwhelmed, or not immediately excited about a pregnancy is normal—even among those who tried to conceive or are experienced in pregnancy and childbirth. Unplanned pregnancies can trigger complex emotions, including grief for one's previous lifestyle, personal identity, and future plans that are suddenly shifted or delayed. The reactions of partners, family, and friends to the news of an unexpected pregnancy can be surprising or disappointing, often because they, too, are processing shock or need time to adjust. Grief around unexpected pregnancy is valid—people may experience ambiguous or disenfranchised grief, mourning the loss of their former freedoms or the plans they thought they'd have. There is a wide spectrum of feelings experienced throughout pregnancy and postpartum, no matter how the pregnancy happened; bonding with the baby and feelings about motherhood develop differently for everyone. Support groups, mental health professionals, and online communities like She Might provide essential resources and a sense of belonging for those navigating unexpected pregnancies. Social media tends to showcase only the positive or "picture-perfect" aspects of pregnancy and motherhood, but tough emotions and struggles are far more common than people might share publicly. Recognizing and celebrating small wins, seeking help, and finding ways to bring pieces of pre-pregnancy joy into new routines can help parents cope and adapt through the journey of an unplanned pregnancy.

The Podcast Superfriends discuss the recent AWS outage and its widespread impact on digital services and podcasting tools. The group shares personal experiences of how the outage disrupted their workflow, affecting platforms like Riverside, Descript, and Streamyard. They emphasize the importance of having backup strategies for podcast production, including maintaining multiple copies of recordings, using alternative recording methods like Google Meet, returning to the days of "double-enders" and having pre-recorded episodes ready. The conversation explores practical solutions for potential technical disasters, such as using external hard drives, cloud storage, and backup internet options like Starlink. They stress the value of being prepared with contingency plans, having episodes recorded in advance, and maintaining flexibility during unexpected technical challenges.

When we say “natural,” it's easy to imagine free play and child-led sessions where the therapist simply follows along. But natural doesn't mean unplanned. Behind every playful moment is an opportunity for intentional teaching, and the best play-based sessions are those that blend spontaneity with strategy.In this conversation, we talk about how to plan for play in a way that still feels natural and fun. We compare it to hosting a birthday party—you wouldn't invite a group of kids and hope for the best without games or structure! The same goes for ABA sessions. Following a child's lead doesn't mean letting them bounce from toy to toy. It means embedding purposeful teaching moments within what they love most.We share practical ways to create this balance, from using assessments like the Early Start Denver Model to identify meaningful goals to organizing the environment so motivation and learning opportunities flow naturally. You'll hear how we think through contriving the environment, following motivation rather than chaos, and using every playful moment with purpose.What's Inside:How to combine natural play with intentional teachingUsing assessments to guide play-based goalsTips for setting up the environment to boost engagement and learningMentioned in This Episode:Episode 118: Generalization and Maintenance of Skills in ABAHowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on Instagram

This past week has been heavy — my dad's heart surgery and walking with friends through hard times. Normally my garden is my refuge, but lately it's been more discouraging than refreshing. From cutworms in the carrots to nematodes on summer crops, the struggles have piled up. In this episode, I'm sharing honestly about choosing whether to push through or let go, and why I'm focusing on easier, more rewarding crops like lettuce and greens. My hope is that my story encourages you if you're facing setbacks of your own. Next week, I'll be back with a garlic growing timeline. Until then, grab my free Garlic Cheat Sheet and get ready for my Garlic Mini Course.

It's back to school and back to routines and for me that means a new season of podcasting and starting this one off with how to maximize our time while our kids are in school.   Insane to say but I now have a high schooler and in my many years of having school age children I've learned so much about how to use this time to have time for yourself, get the things done that you need to, catch up with people that you love, fitness & nutrition, take care of appointments and errands… without wasting any time.    My goal of this podcast is to give you a really helpful framework for laying out how you will spend those precious hours while your kids are in school.   If we don't plan, the time can see like it goes by soooo fast.     But if we do have a plan and we don't have wasted or distracted time in between things, we can get so much done and by the time it's school pickup, you feel accomplished and organized and energized and ready to give them the best of you, not the distracted half paying attention version of you.    Our days all look different but as mothers that all love our kids and want as much quality time with them as possible, spending the time you aren't with them strategically, will bring so much joy to your life.         Get Clear on Your Top Priorities Start with “radical clarity” on what truly matters to you. Take time to define what fulfillment, success, and joy mean in your life. Identify your biggest goals and why they're important – this clarity becomes your compass for how to spend your days. List the things you never seem to have time for… both big and small. Maybe it's projects like organizing the closets or family photos, pursuing a passion or side-business, getting back into shape, or finally starting that project. Connect each task to a purpose. For each priority or goal, be clear on why it matters. For example, you might not love the act of meal-prepping lunches, but you do love the outcome of healthier meals and smoother evenings. When you know why a task is important (to your health, career, family, etc.), it's easier to commit time to it. You're designing your life around what matters most to you, not just reacting to whatever comes up. Plan Your Day, Don't Wing It Design each school-day with intention. Map out your day before it starts... even down to hourly blocks if possible. We're just not good enough to wing it consistently and expect great results.  As productivity expert Stephen Covey famously said, “The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.” In other words, slot your highest-value activities into your calendar.  If working out, writing a chapter of your book, or having an uninterrupted block for work projects is a priority, schedule it into the hours your kids are at school. Identify your MITs (Most Important Tasks) each morning. A great habit is to choose the top 2–3 tasks that will make your day feel successful if nothing else gets done. Write these down and tackle them early in the day. Batch and align tasks to the right times. Group similar tasks together and do them at the optimal times of day. For example, if you have high-energy or creative time in the morning, use that for deep work or exercise. Save low-energy tasks (like tidying up or answering non-urgent emails) for the later afternoon slump Be realistic and time-conscious. Don't overload your day with a massive to-do list that ignores the realities of time… that just leads to frustration. Remember, we all have the same 24 hours; it's how we use them that counts.  Make the Most of School Hours: High-Value Activities to Consider When your kids are at school, think of it as your prime time to tackle the things that are hardest to do when they're around. Plan these hours as if they're gold… because they are! Here are some categories and examples of productive, fulfilling things you can do while the kids are in class: Invest in your health and energy: Get your workout in... go for a run, hit the gym, take a yoga or Pilates class, or do a workout video at home. Prioritize meal prep and nutrition: plan healthy dinners for the week, prep ingredients, or cook in batches.  Maybe even schedule that dentist appointment or physical therapy session you've been putting off. Taking care of your physical well-being will boost your energy and mood for the rest of the day. Do deep work or professional tasks: Use the quiet time to focus on work projects or passion projects without interruptions. This could mean building your business (developing a product, marketing, content creation), working on tasks for your job that require concentration, or even starting a side hustle from home.  It might be the perfect window to record a podcast episode or write that book or blog you've dreamed about while the house is silent. If you're pursuing a career goal like earning a certification or applying for jobs, dedicate a block of time to that. Treat these school hours as your “deep focus” sessions to really move the needle on work that matters to you. Learn and grow: Take an online course or use the time to read personal development or business books, listen to inspiring podcasts, or practice a hobby (paint, play an instrument, write in a journal). These hours are a gift for personal growth… seize them to feed your mind and passion. Knock out home and life admin tasks: Get your household organized so that evenings can be more relaxed. For example, do the laundry and cleaning in the morning so you're free to play with the kids later. Declutter a room or tackle that messy closet.  Run errands strategically: if grocery shopping with your children feels like a nightmare, do it solo while they're at school (or order groceries online for delivery). Take the car for service, go to the bank, or handle appointments (haircuts, doctor visits) during this window. By handling errands and chores now, you won't have them weighing on you during family time. Nurture your relationships and social life:  It's healthy and energizing to connect with other adults when you have some free time. Plan a coffee date or lunch with a friend or your spouse once in a while during school hours. Join a local moms' group meetup, or simply call a family member to catch up. Human connection and laughter can recharge you. Also, if you and your partner can swing it, the occasional daytime date while kids are in school... even just a walk or lunch together… can be a fun way to reconnect without needing a sitter. Take care of YOU (self-care time):  Yes, productivity includes self-care, because if you burn out, nothing else works well. So don't feel guilty about using some school time for yourself. In fact, schedule it in. Maybe that means enjoying quiet “me time” to recharge: take a relaxing bath, sit in a park with a coffee, or simply revel in the silence at home to meditate or pray. It could be booking a massage, facial, or therapy session guilt-free, since you're not missing family time to do it.   Eliminate Distractions and Time-Wasters Guard those school hours from distractions. It's easy to lose precious minutes (which turn into hours) by checking texts, scrolling social media, or getting pulled into emails constantly throughout the day.  Identify your personal time-wasters… and nix them.  Take an honest look at where your time tends to “leak” away. Is it the rabbit hole of social media? Random online shopping? Unplanned chats with a neighbor or lengthy coffee breaks? We often don't realize how these add up.  Use productivity tricks to stay focused. Many parents find techniques like time blocking helpful. Time blocking means scheduling a fixed block (say 9–10:30am) for a specific task or category of tasks…  and during that block, you only do that.  Accept that things won't always go as planned.  We can craft the perfect schedule on paper…  and then life happens. Kids get sick, the school calls, the car battery dies, you hit an unexpected wall of fatigue, etc.  Productivity experts who are parents stress that you must expect interruptions as a normal part of life rather than an exception. Don't overload yourself or chase perfection.  It's tempting to use every kid-free minute to “get everything under the sun done” – and set unrealistically high expectations.  It's far better to do a few important things well (and include some self-care) than to do 20 things and be too exhausted to enjoy the evening with your kids. So be realistic and kind to yourself when planning your week. Use habits and routines to stay consistent (but adapt when needed). Establishing regular routines can automate your productivity. For instance, if you always exercise right after school drop-off, soon it becomes second nature and requires less willpower.  Maybe 10–11am is always devoted to your top work project, or perhaps you do a 15-minute mindfulness meditation at the same time daily. Routines build momentum and reduce decision fatigue.  Celebrate what you did get done.  At the end of the day, acknowledge and appreciate the things you accomplished... both the personal (“kept the house running, paid the bills”) and professional. Too often we focus on what we didn't do.  Change that habit! Even if your day went off the rails, maybe you managed to comfort a sick child or have an important conversation.. those count too.  By recognizing the value in all you do (paid and unpaid), you maintain a positive mindset.  Productivity isn't just about checking boxes; it's also about feeling fulfilled. If you ended the day with your kids safe, fed, and loved, and you moved the needle on one personal goal (no matter how small) – that's a win.  Plan Your Days, Love Your Afternoons Maximizing your kid-free hours is ultimately about being intentional… with your time, your habits, and your choices.  By planning ahead and aligning your daily actions to your biggest priorities, you create a life where your important work and your family time can both flourish.  Instead of feeling like the school day “just flies by” in a blur of busy-ness, you'll see tangible progress on your goals and still have energy in the tank when it's time for pickup. That's the true reward here: you get to fully enjoy the afternoons and evenings with your children, being present instead of preoccupied. So remember, a great plan is really about freedom, the freedom to spend your time on the things that light you up and the freedom to be the parent (and person) you want to be.  With a little structure and a lot of consistency, you can turn your school-hour routine into a powerhouse of productivity and fulfillment. Plan your days around what matters most, execute those plans with focus (and a dash of flexibility), and watch how much awesome stuff you get done before the school day is even over.
