Podcasts about untangling

It's one of the most common questions in our inbox: what's the difference between commercial, literary, and upmarket fiction, and which one is my book? (Video version here https://youtu.be/AMGl98NhtT4?si=mGcpIWTloL_HgMms) This week, agent Kaitlyn Sanchez of Bradford Literary finally makes it make sense. She explains what defines each category, plays a game of "commercial, literary, or both?" with real books from picture books to adult fiction, and shares how to strengthen your manuscript once you know where it fits. Plus, she tells us what she'd love to find in her inbox (hint: mysteries with heart). Want to see the book covers? Watch the video version on our YouTube channel, @manuscriptacademy.

For our Season 11 premiere, we discuss dissociation--the range of severity, how it shows up in session, and how we typically respond in our own practices. This is a big topic; it feels like we only scratched the surface. But if your education was anything like ours, dissociation was barely addressed, if at all. We hope this conversation can get you thinking about how you can better respond to it in your work.**********Untangling the Ties that Bind is written specifically as a resource to recommend to your clients working through issues related to enmeshment, parentification, and setting boundaries with family members.

In today's episode, I'm sharing one of the most profound experiences I've had yet: an 11-hour somatic immersion. I get honest about the emotional patterns I picked up as a kid, when I was labeled "too much," and how they turned into the hypervigilance, accommodating, and constant doing that helped build my business, and why they've also been costing me deep connection. I talk about what it looks like to speak your truth without taking on other people's reactions, why I'm entering an era of slowing down and how I'm creating more white space. If you've ever held back your truth to keep someone else comfortable, this one's for you.

Lenin supposedly said there are decades where nothing happens, and weeks where decades happen. This wasn't one of those weeks. It might have looked like a historic week. The AI circus rolled into the UN with Sam Altman and Dario Amodei addressing the Security Council on the peril facing “humanity as a whole.” Britain and Australia weighed in with middling diplomatic or regulatory AI initiatives of their own. Trump renamed AI as superintelligence. But none of this changed anything. The UN continued its kabuki theater of making global pronouncements without having the power to change even the most local of things. Britain and Australia remained not-great powers with delusions of grandeur. In the autumn of his patriarchy, Trump continued to flail with pathetic powerlessness. And Dario and Sam increasingly seem like bit actors in the unfolding AI drama. So where's all the power in AI? What's this week's real story? In Ezra Klein's New York Times conversation with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, which That Was The Week publisher Keith Teare called “an interview for the ages,” Huang, the CEO of the world's most valuable company, reveals himself as the guy running the AI show. The $5 trillion dollar man talks with the quiet authority of the AI headmaster, fearlessly scolding his riotous sixth form. And his most riotous pupils are Dario Amodei and Sam Altman. So, in response to their latest handwringing about AI's existential threat to humanity, Huang's message was unambiguous. If you can't align it, “don't ship it,” he said of these supposedly humanity-destroying AI products, and if you truly cannot contain your own experiments, “then I think the answer is that we have to shut the labs down.” The most revealing part of the Klein interview was about Nvidia's astonishing economic clout in the AI economy. Huang put his chip manufacturer's investment in this ecosystem at around $100 billion — larger, as Klein noted, than Joe Biden's entire CHIPS and Science Act. This guy has serious clout, equivalent to or perhaps even surpassing the US state. He doesn't waste his time at the UN. He's not running wannabe great powers like Australia or Britain. He doesn't play senile semantic games like you-know-who. Huang can lay down the law to Sam and Dario (and Trump) because he doesn't fear them. As the Exponential View's Azeem Azhar reveals in a revealing interview this week with Atlantic CEO Nick Thompson, Nvidia isn't dependent on the walled garden innovators at OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither lab actually buys Huang's hardware — they rent capacity from the cloud companies that do, which makes them tenants rather than customers. Meanwhile the cheaper and maybe even better open weight models now pouring out of China run on the same Nvidia silicon. Whoever wins the AI race, Jensen “Levi Strauss” Huang sells them the chips. So Mr Chips to Sam and Dario: heads you lose, tails I win. Shut up or shut down. That's what happened this week. Five Takeaways •       The Theatre of the UN. Altman and Amodei chose the Security Council rather than the General Assembly — the biggest forum available, and one with at least some teeth. What they want, in Keith's reading, is political globalization: a super-state view of AI, with rules set from New York. But AI has already globalized, through the spread of open-source models, and not in a form they like. His analogy is Facebook's Libra, launched on the condition that every government agree, and dead for exactly that reason. The second motive is liability. The conversation of the past fortnight has moved to who gets sued when something goes wrong, and the only rational answer is the companies that built it — unless they are following rules set by government, in which case liability moves. Both are heading for IPOs. As for Andy Burnham, Keith is unimpressed: Britain built its modern advantage on not regulating, and grasping regulation as the theme of a G20 chairmanship is unlikely to serve either the country or the man.•       Huang Calls the Bluff. The week's main event was Ezra Klein's long interview with Jensen Huang, which Keith calls an interview for the ages. Huang's frame is the engineer's: the Golden Gate was not the first bridge, and the Wright Flyer was not the first attempt at flight; engineering is failure leading to success, and what Altman and Amodei describe as species-like behaviour is to him an engineering problem. His conclusion was blunt, and in his own words: if you can't align it, “don't ship it”; and if the labs genuinely believe their experiments cannot be contained, “then I think the answer is that we have to shut the labs down,” because the liabilities — civil and criminal — are incredible. What he objects to is the request for relief: asking for regulation while asking for antitrust and product-liability protection makes no sense to him. Keith goes further: Huang is accusing them of being manipulative liars, and he agrees. Andrew pushed back on the idea that the CEO of a five-trillion-dollar company is speaking from pure engineering conviction — you cannot dismiss Sam and Dario's interests and then treat Huang's as irrelevant. Keith's answer: he isn't pursuing commercial goals, he is angry as an engineer.•       More Than the CHIPS Act. The line Andrew kept returning to. When Huang mentioned Nvidia's hundred billion dollars of investment in the AI industry, Klein muttered that this was more than the entire Biden CHIPS Act — and in that aside sits the argument of the week. Governments, Keith says, are missing two things: vision, and money. They are deep in debt, and even if they had the cash there is little reason to trust what they would do with it. This is not an era of state-led innovation but of bottoms-up innovation, and between seventy-five and eighty-five per cent of it is happening in one dot on the world map. Andrew's caveat is historical — there was a twentieth century in which governments built health services and semiconductors and space programmes, and some people are entitled to be nostalgic for it — but the era has passed, and the UN speeches are its echo.•       Not Dependent on OpenAI. The most useful technical thread, drawn from Nick Thompson's interview with Azeem Azhar. Azhar's point is that Nvidia is not especially dependent on OpenAI and Anthropic, which is part of why Huang can afford to attack them: both labs are renters rather than buyers, taking GPU capacity from the companies who actually purchase Nvidia's hardware. Keith's refinement is that this makes them indirect customers rather than irrelevant ones — every GPU purchase is good for Jensen, and the labs depend on the availability of what others buy. Measured in tokens, OpenAI is far ahead of everyone; measured in dollars, Anthropic does better, because its price per token is higher. On the bubble question Azhar is cautiously optimistic and gives numbers; Thompson is less so; and Andrew's conclusion is the one that matters for anyone watching valuations: the AI economy could quite plausibly prosper without either OpenAI or Anthropic.•       Zuckerberg's Return. The quiet story of the week, and the one both men think is the real news. Meta's Muse is a full-stack agent — models at th...

This Day in Legal History: The Judiciary Act of 1789On September 24, 1789, President George Washington signed the Judiciary Act of 1789 into law—one of the very first acts of the very first Congress, and a document that turned the skeletal promise of Article III into a functioning national court system. The Constitution had created “one supreme Court” and left everything else to Congress's imagination. The Judiciary Act supplied the imagination: it built a three-tiered federal judiciary of district courts, circuit courts, and the Supreme Court; it fixed the number of justices at six; and it created the office of Attorney General.The Act's most consequential provision turned out to be a quiet one: Section 25, which gave the Supreme Court the power to review and reverse state-court decisions that ran against federal law or the Constitution. That authority—federal judicial supremacy over state courts on questions of federal law—was the seed of much of what the Supreme Court would later become, and Section 13 of the same Act was the very provision the Court would strike down in Marbury v. Madison, establishing judicial review itself. In other words, the machinery of American judicial power, and the Court's authority to police the boundary between state and federal law, traces directly to this statute.The significance of September 24, 1789 is that it is the architecture beneath essentially everything we cover—the district courts where cases begin, the circuit courts of appeals that review them, and the Supreme Court that sits atop it all. And it's a strikingly apt anniversary, because our lead story is that very system in action, and under strain: a dispute ricocheting between a state supreme court, a federal district judge, a federal circuit court, and the U.S. Supreme Court—the exact interplay of state and federal judicial power that the Act of 1789 first set in motion.The fight over Missouri's congressional map is back at the U.S. Supreme Court—for the third time in a month—and it has become a genuinely dizzying illustration of how tangled our courts can get. Let me trace the bouncing ball, because the procedural chaos is the story. Missouri Republicans adopted a new map in 2025 that dismantled a Kansas City district held by Democrat Emanuel Cleaver, part of the Trump-backed national redistricting push. Then: on September 3, the Missouri Supreme Court unanimously ruled that under state law the new map can't be used until voters approve it in a referendum. On September 8, Justice Kavanaugh, as circuit justice, rebuffed Missouri's request to intervene. On September 10, the U.S. Supreme Court blocked the state from using the redrawn map, in an unsigned order with no dissent. But then a federal district judge and, this Monday, the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals went the other way, reviving the Republican map—which has now triggered this third trip to the Supreme Court. Here's the legal knot at the center: this is a collision between state law and federal law. The Missouri Supreme Court's ruling rests on the state constitution's referendum requirement; the federal proceedings involve federal claims about the map. Untangling which sovereign's law controls, and which court has the final say, is exactly the state-versus-federal judicial question the Judiciary Act of 1789 first tried to sort out—and today it's playing out in real time. Meanwhile, the human cost is real: more than a million potential voters are caught in the confusion, and absentee voting is already underway using the old 2022 districts. The significance is twofold—it's another test of mid-decade partisan gerrymandering, and it's a vivid, almost overwhelming example of what happens when state and federal courts point in opposite directions weeks before an election. Whatever the Court does, doing it this late, on the emergency docket, leaves election administrators and voters in an impossible bind.Battle over Missouri's congressional map reaches US Supreme Court for third time | Reuters · SCOTUSblog · CNNA federal judge has dismissed Michigan's climate lawsuit against the oil industry—and the way she did it matters, because Michigan tried a novel legal theory that just ran aground. Most of the climate suits we've seen from states and cities are built on public-nuisance and consumer-protection theories—the claim that fossil-fuel companies deceived the public about climate change. Michigan tried something different and more ambitious: an antitrust theory. Attorney General Dana Nessel accused BP, Chevron, Exxon, Shell, and the American Petroleum Institute of conspiring, over decades, to suppress competition from electric vehicles and renewable energy in order to preserve fossil fuels' dominance. The idea was to reframe climate harm as an antitrust injury—collusion to kill off cleaner competitors. U.S. District Judge Jane Beckering in Grand Rapids rejected it, and her reasoning is a classic antitrust-doctrine problem: proximate cause and antitrust standing. She found that antitrust law simply doesn't protect against most of the injuries Michigan claimed, and that even for the one cognizable category—energy overcharges—”the distance is too great between the alleged conspiracy and Michigan's and its residents' overcharges” to say the conspiracy actually caused them. That's the antitrust-standing doctrine from cases in the lineage of Associated General Contractors: to sue, your injury has to be the kind antitrust law was meant to prevent, and it can't be too remote or speculative a link down a long causal chain. The significance is that this marks a setback for a creative frontier in climate litigation. The public-nuisance suits grind on in various states, but Michigan's attempt to weaponize antitrust law against Big Oil for slow-walking the energy transition has, at least here, been deemed too attenuated a theory to proceed. It's a reminder that even a compelling narrative of corporate misconduct has to fit within the specific, technical boundaries of the legal theory you choose.US judge dismisses Michigan climate lawsuit against oil companies | Reuters · Inside Climate News· US NewsAnd finally, the Musk-versus-OpenAI antitrust brawl has taken a delicious turn: OpenAI is trying to get the case thrown out by using Elon Musk's own SEC filings against him. Recall the posture we covered—Musk's xAI and X Corp sued Apple and OpenAI, claiming Apple's exclusive integration of ChatGPT into the iPhone illegally shut out rivals like Grok. Then, on September 14, Musk's companies quietly dropped Apple from the suit, leaving OpenAI as the lone remaining defendant. Now OpenAI has asked Judge Mark Pittman in Fort Worth for summary judgment—a ruling in its favor on the existing record, before the January trial. And its argument is beautifully simple. OpenAI points to the IPO registration statement that Musk's SpaceX filed with the SEC, and says it is “replete with disclosures diametrically opposed” to xAI's claims of competitive harm—that the rosy, optimistic picture a company is legally required to paint for investors “bears no resemblance to the doomsaying in this litigation.” Here's why this is legally clever, and it goes to the heart of securities law. When you file with the SEC, you are under a legal obligation to be truthful and not to mislead investors—so a company's SEC disclosures are treated as serious, considered admissions. If SpaceX and xAI told investors the AI market is competitive and full of opportunity, they can't easily turn around and tell a court the same market is being unlawfully monopolized to their ruin. It's the litigation version of getting caught saying two contradictory things to two different audiences—and courts do not look kindly on it. The significance is a sharp lesson that echoes my own tax-and-regulation beat: your legally-required disclosures in one forum can come back to bind you in another. You cannot tell Wall Street one story and a federal judge the opposite. Whether it's enough to end the case before trial is up to Judge Pittman, but OpenAI has landed a genuinely elegant punch.OpenAI says SEC disclosures undermine xAI's antitrust lawsuit | Reuters · PYMNTS · Unite.AI This is a public episode.

FASD specialist and adoptive mom Sandra Flach joins Jesse to break down fetal alcohol spectrum disorder: what it actually is, why it hides behind behavior nobody understands, and why it's one of the most common and least discussed disabilities in foster care and adoption. Sandra shares her own family's diagnosis journey and the accommodations-based approach that finally helped her understand her sons instead of just managing their behavior. It's a conversation for anyone parenting a child whose brain might be working differently than expected, diagnosed or not. Sandra Flach is co-founder of Justice for Orphans and an adoptive and kinship parent of six. After her own sons were diagnosed with fetal alcohol syndrome, she became a national voice on FASD, offering training, coaching, and a peer support community for foster and adoptive families. Website: Justice for Orphans: FASD Training & Support Key Takeaways FASD is far more common than most people realize (one in twenty people prenatally exposed to alcohol, up to seventy percent of kids in foster care), yet true diagnosis is rare because doctors are trained to look for facial features present in fewer than ten percent of cases. FASD symptoms overlap heavily with trauma and can look like willful defiance, but the brain difference is real: what looks like "won't" is usually "can't," especially around executive function, auditory processing, and daily living skills. The path forward is accommodation, not consequence: understanding a child's specific struggles (memory, impulse control, sensory processing) and adjusting expectations the same way we already do for visible disabilities.

  You Don't Have to Heal Alone: Why Community Is Essential in a Destructive Relationship   Have you ever sat in a church pew, heard a message about forgiveness or submission, and walked away feeling more trapped than before — wondering if something was deeply wrong with you for still feeling unsafe? You are not alone, and this episode is for you.   Leslie sits down with Kelly Yazzie, our community manager in Conquer, for a raw and deeply honest conversation about why belonging to a safe, faith-based community is not a luxury for women in destructive relationships — it is a lifeline. Together they explore the scriptures that have been misused to keep women silent and stuck, how to hold onto a good God when the system fails you, and why real transformation only happens when information is met with courageous, supported practice. If you have been burned by community before, if you are questioning God's goodness in the middle of an unjust situation, or if you are simply exhausted from trying to figure this out alone, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.   Key Takeaways Misapplied Scripture Has Kept Too Many Women Stuck — and That Is Not God's Heart Verses about forgiveness, mercy, and love covering sin have been pulled out of context in ways that pressure women to protect their abusive husbands from consequences and silence their own experience. Kelly unpacks Ephesians 5:11 — "Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them" — alongside Matthew 3:8 and Proverbs 28 to show that God does not call us to prop up unrepentant sin. Untangling forgiveness from reconciliation, and learning to watch for fruit of genuine repentance rather than words alone, is one of the most liberating shifts a woman in a destructive relationship can make. As Kelly states plainly: an apology without change is only manipulation.   You Are the Steward of You — And That Is Not Selfishness, It Is Faithfulness One of the most important truths in this episode is that no pastor, elder, counselor, or husband holds authority over your own welfare. Drawing from the sobering story in First Kings 13 — where a man of God is sidetracked by the counsel of another who claimed to speak for God — Kelly and Leslie remind women that others do not live in your home, and they do not live with the results of their counsel. You are the expert of your own situation. Learning to hear God's voice directly, trusting your God-given intuition, and reclaiming ownership of your own life is not rebellion; it is spiritual maturity and faithfulness to the person God created you to be.   When God Doesn't Fix It: Separating the Facts from the Story When a protection order is denied despite evidence of abuse, when a custody battle is lost by a mother who did everything right, the anguish is real — and so is the temptation to write a story about what that means about God. Leslie and Kelly walk through the critical practice of distinguishing the facts of a situation from the story we tell ourselves about why it happened. Asking "why did God do this?" often leads us into the same trap as Job's friends — assigning blame and shame where neither belongs. The more life-giving question is: what do I need from this? Where can I grow? How is God meeting me here? God is light; there is no darkness in Him at all, even when circumstances are painfully dark.   Community Is Where Transformation Actually Happens Information alone — no matter how biblical, how wise, or how perfectly taught — does not produce transformation. It is the practice, the support, the application inside a safe relational space that changes a woman from the inside out. Kelly describes how women in Conquer learn to use their voice, try new boundaries, share their failures without shame, celebrate their wins without apology, and eventually turn around to support someone just a few steps behind them. Relational trauma is healed in relationship, and a community where your humanity is held with both truth and grace is not a nice addition to healing — it is central to it.   You Are Not Too Broken, Too Much, or Too Late For the woman who has been burned by a Christian community before — excluded, silenced, or judged — Kelly offers a direct and tender word: your voice is powerful, your boundaries are courageous, and your healing is worth fighting for. You are not simply a helpmate or a role to fill. You are, as Kelly grounds it in Scripture, an ezer kenegdo — a warrior partner made in the image of God. The Conquer community exists to be the kind of space where that truth becomes lived experience, not just information on a page.   If today's conversation stirred something in you — a longing to be truly known, a hunger for a community that holds both biblical truth and your real, hard story with equal care — we want to invite you into exactly that. Conquer is a Christ-centered membership community designed for women just like you: women who love God and are done trying to navigate destructive relationships alone. Inside, you will find a rich library of biblical, trauma-informed teaching, trained mentors who have walked this road themselves, and a community of women who genuinely get it. Join us at: https://leslievernick.com/membership Doors open twice a year, and you can join monthly to try it out. Come and see what is possible when information meets community and real transformation begins. Closing Encouragement Friend, if you have made it to the end of this episode, something in you is still reaching toward healing — and that matters. The road out of a destructive relationship, through grief, through spiritual confusion, through a broken system that does not always get it right, is one that no woman should have to walk alone. God has not looked away from your situation. Isaiah 59 promises He rises when justice is denied. He comes as both avenger and redeemer. And in the meantime, He has placed women around you — women who have been in the rubble and who know that beauty can grow there.   You are deeply loved. You are fully known. And the next step forward, however small it feels, is worth taking. We are here to walk it with you.

Send us Fan MailJoel van der Loon sits down with Ryan Levinson for a wide-ranging conversation about diagnosis, risk, purpose, masculinity, and what it means to keep moving when your body changes. Ryan shares the arc from his mid twenties diagnosis with FSH muscular dystrophy to the decade he spent sailing in French Polynesia, and how those experiences reshaped his sense of self. This episode matters because it goes beyond a success story and gets into the harder question of how to stay oriented when the old sources of identity no longer fit. In this episode, Ryan Levinson shares how his diagnosis in his mid twenties with FSH muscular dystrophy changed the trajectory of his life.Joel and Ryan trace Ryan's early identity through surfing, skateboarding, and a rebellious streak that pushed against school, family expectations, and conventional career paths.Ryan explains the suicidal moment in college through a mistaken philosophy about living close to death, and how a friend interrupting that night changed everything.The two discuss how surfing, the ocean, and later sailing became spiritual anchors through movement, challenge, and clarity of purpose.Ryan describes how the diagnosis unexpectedly opened doors, shifting how others saw him from lazy or unrealistic to inspirational and capable.They talk through the decision to buy a sailboat and live aboard in French Polynesia for a decade, including the fear, surrender, and transformation that came with leaving the dock.Ryan shares how disease progression has changed his body, his daily capabilities, and his relationship to purpose, protection, and being a partner to Nicole.Joel introduces a spiritual lens around knowing oneself, shadow work, and authenticity as the path to meaning.Ryan reflects on how much of his life has been driven by perseverance, and how he now has to reassess his limits much more frequently. The conversation closes with mutual gratitude, vulnerability, and Ryan sharing where people can find him online. Timestamps00:00 - Brotherly reunion and the energy of deep trust 03:24 - Surfing, rebellion, and the identity Ryan built before diagnosis 06:14 - The college suicide call and the friend who broke through the moment 09:44 - Why it was not about depression, but about anticipation and future fear 11:45 - Feeling trapped by a future with no obvious vocation 13:05 - Surfing as meditation and a spiritual connection to something larger 15:10 - The diagnosis and the first move toward a new path 16:24 - Pressure from family versus a dream of ecotourism and ocean work 17:23 - A doctor's blunt advice to choose something practical 20:18 - How the diagnosis changed public perception and opened doors 21:17 - Leveraging disability, media, and adaptive sports opportunities 23:54 - Why Ryan and Nicole bought a sailboat and crossed to French Polynesia 25:52 - Surrender, trust, and leaving the dock without knowing the outcome 28:29 - What long passage sailing changes in a person 31:44 - Simplicity, clarity of purpose, and why risk feels meaningful 35:53 - Ryan's current conflict around purpose as physical ability declines 38:25 - Losing the ability to protect in the way he once could 40:34 - Why Nicole's capability changes the burden conversation 44:19 - The emotional and psychological work of surrendering masculinity 48:24 - Joel's view of spiritual awakening as remembering the soul 52:08 - Why the compass shifted before leaving the boat life 55:36 - The physical toll of years at sea and disease progression 60:23 - Metrics, recovery, and adapting daily to what the body can do 63:01 - Constant reassessment before surfing, diving, or physically demanding work 65:32 - What Ryan is most proud of now: perseverance 68:02 - Joel's challenge that logic can become a trap 69:35 - Why the relationship with Nicole is central to Ryan's fear 71:14 - Joel's teaching on knowing God through knowing self and others 75:21 - Untangling the story of self and doing shadow work 77:20 - Hadza, wilderness time, and the progression of spiritual learning 81:10 - Joel's divorce, grief, and the liberation of brutal self-honesty 84:19 - Ryan on people inventing new stories instead of accepting change 85:46 - Life as floating with the current instead of fighting it 87:21 - Accepting that decline, loss, and change are guaranteed 90:09 - Final gratitude and where to find Ryan onlineSupport the showHuge thank you to everyone who supports In the Bush podcast — if you've been enjoying the show, please consider making a donation to help us keep producing the content you love.

Todd Havens spent decades dreaming of a net worth of zero, just breaking even felt like an impossible finish line. Then, in 2021, at the height of COVID, a doctor delivered news that would reframe everything: incurable blood cancer, tumors too numerous to count. What follows is one of the most honest, wide-ranging conversations this show has had about money, mortality, and the difference between being rich and actually being wealthy. Todd is now in remission, a self-made millionaire, and the author of a book built entirely around one idea: the biggest obstacle to financial security usually isn't a spreadsheet problem. It's what's happening between your ears.What You'll Walk Away WithWhy disability insurance and life insurance, the coverage nobody wants to pay for, turned out to matter more than almost anything else when the worst actually happenedThe "money dam" framework for deciding, moment by moment, what's actually worth spending onWhy believing you "deserve" financial security might be the single most important money belief there isA game that separates helpful money beliefs from dangerous ones, and why "I'll save more when I make more" quietly sabotages people for yearsWhy net worth, not salary, is the number that actually matters, and how that shift changed Todd's entire trajectoryA genuinely difficult story about saying no to a parent's request for money, and why it was ultimately an act of loveWhy gratitude, generosity, and integrity are money topics, whether people realize it or notWhy This Matters NowIt's tempting to think financial struggle is purely a math problem: spend less, save more, invest wisely. But plenty of financially literate people still feel stuck, and the reason is rarely a lack of information. It's an old story about not deserving security, about money meaning lack, about identity getting tangled up with a bank balance. Untangling that story doesn't require a windfall or a perfect plan. It requires deciding, the way Todd did at forty, that today is the day the narrative changes, and then building simple systems that don't depend on willpower to keep working.From the BasementA headline on the four things you should never order in front of your boss turns into a genuinely useful (and very funny) etiquette lesson, complete with a real story about a twenty-year-old nephew calmly ordering the most expensive steak on the menu without blinking. A listener question on Robinhood also gets a thorough, unflinching answer on why the platform's marketing has repeatedly crossed lines other brokerages haven't.Resources MentionedThink Wealthy by Todd Havens — Todd's book on the mindset behind financial freedomThe Simple Path to Wealth by JL Collins — companion read referenced as the "systems" counterpart to Todd's "mindset" focusThe Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel — referenced book on the behavioral side of moneySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Eight years. Seven rounds of revision. And a first submission where every reviewer recommended reject. In this episode, JMR Co-Editor Karen Winterich talks with Tanuka Ghoshal (Baruch College) and Tripat Gill (Wilfrid Laurier University) about their paper, "The 'Dark Is Hardworking' Association: How Skin Tone Affects Perceptions of Service Providers in India." Colorism in India has long been documented as a fair-skin premium, but this research uncovers the opposite: darker skin-toned professionals are perceived as more hardworking, and therefore more competent, in domains like financial and technical services. In the episode, you'll hear how an editorial team's nudge toward human branding sent the project in an entirely new direction, why the attractiveness angle wasn't retained as a focus, and the real costs of collecting quality data in India.

Susan Stryker's new book, Changing Gender, is as chameleonic as the scholar herself, combining as it does trans history, cultural theory, memoir, linguistics, gossip, anthropology, art criticism, and even an unforgettable analysis of the children's song “Yankee Doodle.” The word gender originated in the domain of grammar, before becoming interlinked with sex in the 20th century, as the story goes. But Stryker's romp through the historical record shows that as far back as the 17th century, English-speakers were playing with the concept. Far from being a simple linguistic category, gender sneaks in all sorts of assumptions that we make in the background of our everyday lives—and that, Stryker contends, is what makes it so threatening to the pundits and politicians who want to uphold the status quo and criminalize trans people. “Trans issues impinge directly upon the topics of how we collectively decide in the first place what's materially possible, and therefore potentially real and empirically true,” she writes. “Untangling the mess of where gender came from has the potential to shift the ground of the culture wars if it allows us to understand the issues at stake differently.”Susan Stryker is a foundational figure in trans studies, beginning with her 1994 academic article / performance art piece, “My Words to Victor Frankenstein Above the Village of Chamounix.” She's written histories of trans people in America, edited volumes on transgender studies, and directed a film about a Compton cafeteria riot that predated the Stonewall rebellion by three years. Stryker retired from the University of Arizona as Professor of Gender and Women's Studies in 2020, and currently holds a distinguished visiting appointment at Stanford University.Go beyond the episode:Susan Stryker's Changing GenderWatch her documentary Screaming Queens: The Riot at Compton's Cafeteria and her short film Christine in the Cutting RoomRead her 1994 article “My Words to Victor Frankenstein Above the Village of Chamounix”Read James Anderson of Hermiston's 1792 argument in favor of a gender-neutral pronounOr the 1857 short story “The Man Who Thought Himself a Woman”Tune in every other week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.

Very few jobs in this country involve launching a rescue mission wearing a wetsuit - to save an animal as big as a bus.

You're hitting your numbers. Your customers love you. Your manager can't stop singing your praises. But inside? You're tired. Maybe even a little resentful. And somewhere underneath all of it, you're starting to wonder why a career you've worked so hard to build requires so much of you.   That's the conversation we're having today. In This Episode ✨ Why high performance and over functioning look identical from the outside — and the one thing that separates them ✨ How your brain gets wired to need being needed (this is neuroscience, not a character flaw) ✨ The invisible rule most high-achieving women are living by without knowing it exists ✨ What "borrowed fuel" is and why it eventually gets expensive, no matter how successful you are ✨ The exact questions to ask yourself this week to start separating compulsion from conscious choice ✨ How to stay exceptional — and ambitious — without needing to be indispensable to prove your worth The Big Takeaway Over functioning can make you wildly successful, at least for a while. You get rewarded for it. You win the awards, you make the money, and people tell you how amazing you are. But when being indispensable starts to cost you access to your own life, it's time to look underneath the performance — not at it. The rewrite isn't doing less. It's doing from choice. RISE Method Connection This one lives at the heart of R — Resilient Mindset. The invisible rule "if I can handle it, I should" is a belief we absorbed so early it feels like a fact. Untangling it is some of the most important mindset work there is.   Ready to go deeper?

Michelle Konson built what looked like a picture-perfect life: a career as a corporate attorney in South Africa, a loving marriage, and four children. But underneath the surface, she was quietly unravelling, using survival strategies she'd developed as a child to try to control a world that no longer responded to control. In this honest conversation, Michelle traces her path from unrecognised childhood patterns to a genuine reckoning with her story, and shares how that journey eventually led her into trauma-informed training, group therapy, and years of untangling the fragments of her own past.   Michelle now helps others do the same through her journal, Untangling Your Story, a tool designed to bridge the gap between everyday struggle and formal counselling. In this episode, she talks candidly about the role of community and empathetic listeners in healing, why digging up the past isn't about blaming those who hurt us, and how her Christian faith has shaped her understanding of forgiveness, grace and self-compassion. It's a conversation about patterns, permission, and the freedom that comes from finally telling ourselves the truer version of our story.   Michelle Konson's Website Michelle Konson on Instagram

Betrayal by a loved one--especially sexual infidelity--can be one of the most traumatic events a person experiences. And if you've been betrayed by a romantic partner, you know firsthand how devastating the blow can be. In fact, those who are betrayed often find themselves drowning in a sea of endless questions, overwhelming anxiety, and doubt. Despite the trauma they've endured, the betrayed individual often feels pressured to accept a partner's apology, invest in the relationship, and move on. But what if true recovery requires--first and foremost--rebuilding of the self? Today, we're joined by a renowned betrayal trauma specialist and author, Beth Fischer, who is the creator of The Betrayal Trauma Healing Method and The Integrity Journey. Beth will guide us into the art of healing from the deep pain of betrayal.Topics discussed include sexual betrayal, emotional betrayal, financial betrayal, infidelity, loss, grief, pain, trauma, PTSD, shame, marriage, relationships, intimacy, trust, self-trust, nervous system, dysregulation, betrayer, betrayed, marriage therapy, relationship therapy, individual therapy, healing, divorce, and self-work.Please note that this episode contains sensitive material; listener discretion is advised.Emergency Assistance Details: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services.

Every new day arrives carrying the potential for disruption. A single phone call, an unexpected diagnosis, a notice at work, an accident — and a carefully laid plan can unravel before noon. Life will never be worry-free or perfectly manageable, and Jesus never promised it would be. What He did promise, on the night before His own crucifixion, is something far more durable than smooth circumstances: In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. John 16:33 is bookended by two gifts. An offer of peace opens it, and an encouragement to take heart closes it. Between them sits the most honest acknowledgment in Scripture that trouble is simply part of life on earth. The messy parts, the stressors, the outcomes of illness and lack and worry and danger — these are ultimately in God's hands, not ours. Philippians 4:6-7 shows us the practical path from anxiety to that peace: prayer, petition, and thanksgiving, bringing our actual concerns before God rather than carrying them silently. Isaiah adds that the minds steadfastly fixed on God will be kept in perfect peace, because they trust in Him. Prayer does not instantly erase circumstances. But it casts our cares at the feet of Jesus, reframes our perspective, and makes room to receive the rest He has been offering all along: Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Today's Bible Verse "I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."— John 16:33, NIV Ponder Today Jesus was honest about trouble before He offered peace. He did not promise a worry-free life. He promised that His peace would be available within the trouble, and that He has already overcome whatever we are currently facing. The peace of God is accessed through prayer and thanksgiving, not through problem-solving. Philippians 4:6-7 does not tell us to figure out our anxious situations — it tells us to bring them to God. The peace that follows transcends our ability to understand or engineer it. A steadfast mind is a protected mind. Isaiah 26:3 connects perfect peace directly to a mind that is fixed on God and trusting in Him. Where we anchor our attention during stressful seasons determines what we experience in them. Prayer reframes perspective even when it does not change circumstances. Casting our cares at the feet of Jesus does not necessarily resolve the situation, but it unbundens the heart and restores the hope and clarity needed to keep walking in His will. A Prayer for You Today Dear Lord, I am feeling a lot of stress lately. There is always so much on my mind, more than I can handle on my own, and too many demands pulling at me from every direction. I know I am putting too much pressure on myself, but it is hard to juggle caring for my own health, loving the people in my life well, and meeting all my responsibilities at work and home. I know You have given me this one earthly life, and I want to live it gratefully, not begrudgingly. Please help me unload the worries that stress me out, and help me rest amid uncertainty, because I am certain You can work all things for good. Show me what You desire for my path. Give me the strength to do what You desire rather than what overloads and tears me down. Fill me with the reassurance of Your inexplicable peace. I give it all to You, Lord, with a thankful heart. I love You. Amen. Don't Miss an Episode If today's prayer helped you release what you have been carrying and receive the peace only God can give, we'd love to stay connected.

I'm continuing my series untangling the assumptions behind pay-to-play soccer, and this time I'm tackling a terminology problem that's easy to miss but really matters. I break down a proposal from an ECNL leader for a new national scouting program aimed at "amateur clubs" — and why I think that label is misleading. As I see it, a program like this would mostly benefit families already paying into the system, not the grassroots kids it claims to help. I also share a personal story about my own son, who landed on the national team radar from outside the MLS Pro Academy pipeline, to make the point that talent doesn't only come from paid systems. Getting the language right matters if we actually want to reduce costs and widen access.

In this episode of Derms and Conditions, host James Q. Del Rosso, DO, welcomes Jason Hawkes, MD, MS, for a special Tea with Dr. D edition exploring the immunology that underpins inflammatory skin disease and how a deeper understanding of cytokine biology can inform clinical decision-making. The discussion begins by challenging the common tendency to classify diseases according to a single "dominant" cytokine or immune pathway. Drs Del Rosso and Hawkes emphasize that while frameworks such as type 1, type 2, and type 3 inflammation are valuable for organizing complex biology, they should be viewed as conceptual models rather than rigid categories, as immune responses are dynamic, overlapping, and highly interconnected. Using a series of educational slides, Dr Hawkes reviews how naïve T cells differentiate into distinct immune responses after interacting with antigen-presenting cells within the lymph node. He highlights 3 key cytokines that help clinicians remember the major pathways driving differentiation: IL-12 for type 1 inflammation, IL-4 for type 2 inflammation, and IL-23 for type 3 inflammation. These regulatory cytokines shape downstream immune responses that ultimately contribute to diseases such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. A major focus of the episode is the distinct but complementary roles of IL-4 and IL-13 in type 2 inflammation. Dr Hawkes explains why IL-4 serves as the critical regulator of type 2 immune differentiation, functioning within the lymph node to establish the broader immune response, while IL-13 plays a prominent role within peripheral tissues, particularly the skin. He also addresses the misconception that higher tissue expression necessarily indicates greater biologic importance, noting that cytokines often exert profound effects despite relatively low expression levels. Throughout the discussion, the speakers reinforce that cytokines should not be viewed in isolation. Their overlapping and synergistic effects help explain why patients can present with different clinical manifestations despite sharing common inflammatory mechanisms. Ultimately, the goal is not to identify a universally superior therapeutic target, but to understand each patient's disease biology well enough to select the therapy that best matches their clinical presentation. Tune in to the full episode to learn more about the foundations of type 1, type 2, and type 3 inflammation, the distinct roles of key cytokines in immune regulation and tissue disease, common misconceptions surrounding cytokine biology, and how a stronger understanding of immunology can support more personalized treatment decisions in everyday dermatology practice.

Back in 2017, I sat down with Anne Wilde, one of the foremost experts on modern-day polygamy. While I like to call her the First Lady of Fundamentalism, she has lived an incredibly unique life as an Independent Fundamentalist. For 33 years, Anne lived as the secret second wife of Ogden Kraut, a prolific fundamentalist author whose 65 books she personally helped write and edit. From the secret history of Mormon schisms to her own spiritual journey, you won’t want to miss this fascinating conversation! https://youtu.be/LH2zMt27kxM Don't miss our other conversations Shannon: https://gospeltangents.com/people/shannon-flynn Copyright © 2026 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved Check out a transcript of the interview on Amazon. Pick up a transcript of our conversation! Raised in the mainstream LDS Church, Anne later became an “Independent Fundamentalist” and lived for 33 years as the secret second wife of prolific fundamentalist author Ogden Kraut. This sweeping conversation covers everything from the hidden history of Mormon schisms to controversial theology and modern civil rights. Hidden History of Post-Manifesto Polygamy Many believe plural marriage ended abruptly with the LDS Church’s 1890 Manifesto, but Anne explains it was more like a sunset: “when does it get dark? It’s just gradually.” She points to an uncanonized 1886 revelation received by Church President John Taylor, which fundamentalists believe declared plural marriage an everlasting covenant that could not be changed. Consequently, polygamy continued underground and in places like Mexico and Canada. It took the 1904 Second Manifesto and the 1933 Third Manifesto—which enforced excommunication for those practicing plural marriage—to create a permanent rift between the mainstream church and fundamentalist groups. Untangling the Polygamous Sects One of Anne’s main goals is to dispel the myth that all polygamists are the same. She breaks down the diverse landscape of modern polygamy: The AUB (Apostolic United Brethren): With about 7,500 members, this group has a priesthood council and allows members more free agency in choosing their spouses. (Kody Brown of the TV show Sister Wives comes from this tradition.) FLDS (Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints): Notorious for the extreme one-man rule of Warren Jeffs, this group practices arranged marriages and strict dress codes. Anne notes that Jeffs’ oppressive control and habit of splitting up families has caused their numbers to plummet. Since he went to prison, the numbers are about 10% of what they were. Centennial Park: A breakaway group of about 2,000 members who separated from the FLDS because they wanted a priesthood council rather than a one-man dictatorship. Ervil LeBaron: Anne also discusses dangerous outliers like Ervil LeBaron, a militant polygamist who claimed his own priesthood authority and became an assassin responsible for roughly 20 deaths, including that of AUB leader Rulon Allred. Independent Fundamentalists: Anne identifies with this category—believers who adhere to early doctrines and plural marriage but choose not to affiliate with any centralized sect. Surprising Stances on Gay Marriage Despite their conservative theology, Anne reveals that many fundamentalists support the legalization of gay marriage. Viewing it through the lens of civil rights, she argues that if polygamists want the government to decriminalize their own family structures, they must grant the same free agency to the LGBTQ+ community. She also expressed deep disappointment with the LDS Church’s 2015 policy that temporarily barred the children of gay parents from being baptized, feeling it wrongly punished children. Anne Wilde’s Controversial Theology: Was Jesus a Polygamist? Anne Wilde and her late husband, Ogden Kraut, authored numerous books, including a highly popular 1969 text arguing that Jesus Christ was a polygamist. She suggests that the wedding feast at Cana was actually Christ’s own wedding, and that he was married to at least Mary, Martha, and Mary Magdalene. She also tackles difficult aspects of Doctrine and Covenants Section 132, such as the “Law of Sarah,” which ideally requires a first wife’s consent for subsequent marriages. However, Anne notes that if a first wife adamantly refuses to consent to a priesthood law, the husband is exempt from her approval and can marry anyway. Furthermore, she interprets the scriptural mentions of “concubines” not as sex slaves, but as lesser, non-covenant wives permitted by the customs of the era. Advocacy and the 2002 Olympics After living in secret for decades, Anne stepped into the public eye ahead of the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics. Tired of seeing only bitter ex-members defining the narrative around plural marriage, Anne co-founded an advocacy group called “Principle Voices“. During the Olympics, they provided hundreds of press packets and fielded interviews with global media to offer a positive perspective on the lifestyle and to clearly distinguish themselves from the abuses of the FLDS church. Ultimately, Anne's story is a call for understanding. Whether you agree with her lifestyle or not, her experiences provide a rare, inside look at a marginalized community deeply woven into the fabric of Mormon history. Questions to ponder: 1. In what ways do the civil rights struggles of polygamists align with those of the LGBTQ+ community? 2. Why is it important to recognize the structural and cultural differences between various polygamous sects? 3. How does the “Law of Sarah” impact the balance of agency and power within a plural marriage? 4. What role does media representation play in shaping the narrative of marginalized or secretive religious communities?

Jeff Luther collapsed mid-workout in front of his 16-year-old son — no pulse, no breath. Two AED shocks didn't bring him back. The third did. In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Jeff walks us through what actually happens in the space between life and death, the paralyzing fear that followed a second cardiac arrest, and the exact moment — 30 seconds at a time — that he started rebuilding his life on his own terms. We talk about ego, gratitude, the stories we tell ourselves, and why the belief "I am becoming" changes everything.Check out Jeff's podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/all-can-no-cant-mastering-resilience/id1658627241Connect with Jeff on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/jdluther2.0/https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-luther/Stay in touch with Sabine:https://sabinekvenberg.com/resourcesYour Free Gift: https://sabinekvenberg.com/get-your-bold-move-kitPre-order Gumption: https://sabinekvenberg.com/pre-order-gumptionTime Stamps:[00:09] Introduction — Jeff's story begins mid-collapse at the gym in front of his son[01:56] The workout, the racing heart, and the moment things didn't stop this time[02:25] Going into ventricular fibrillation — and the strange, split-second shift from "get away from me" to "please don't let me go"[03:27] Watching his son's shoes walk toward him on the gym floor — "Jeff, you've got to get up"[05:43] Waking up and thinking he'd gotten drunk the night before[06:40] Coming to — to the sound of his own screaming[07:19] How the AED actually works, and why the first shock didn't bring him back[08:49] 911, a second shock, a second failure[09:15] The paramedics arrive — third shock, and he wakes up[09:54] Denial in real time: "Are we going to finish this workout?"[10:23] Four days in the hospital and the diagnosis: ARVC (arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy)[11:22] Back in the gym after 30 days — and cardiac arrest strikes again[11:50] This time, he knew he was dying — and everything changed[12:31] Paralyzing fear, a divorce he didn't want, and life "effectively ending"[13:04] Finding gratitude for a pen — the smallest possible starting point[13:31] The first workout back — breaking down, giving up, feeling like a failure[15:17] His coach's pivotal question: "Does that thing hurt?"[15:44] The 30-second breakthrough — working for 30, resting 30, and getting his life back one interval at a time[18:58] The belief that became a gut-punch: our beliefs shape our future — and our present[19:29] Untangling shame and guilt from his divorce — and the shift from "who am I" to "who am I becoming"[22:56] Why gratitude and bitterness can't occupy the same space in the brain

What if the problem you think you have isn't actually the problem at all — and the rules you've been living by were never designed for you in the first place? What if your people-pleasing, your overachieving, and your drive to prove yourself are all symptoms of something much deeper?In this episode, Kathryn sits down with Mikaela Gaffenstone — lifelong nomad, behavior analyst, master nutrition coach, witch, and professional life untangler — to explore the hidden patterns keeping high-achieving women stuck. From the trauma roots of people-pleasing and the manipulation hidden inside pain-point marketing, to why niching down may be working against your multifaceted nature, this conversation goes deep. Mikaela shares how behavior analysis, human design, and a healthy dose of humor can help you stop proving yourself to ghosts from your past — and start building a life and business that's actually, authentically yours.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL DISCOVER:● Why the problem clients bring to coaches — whether it's time management, more clients, or a better funnel — is almost always a symptom masking the real issue underneath, and how untangling the stories beneath the surface is what actually creates lasting change.● How people-pleasing is deeply wired into high-achieving women from childhood and shows up as degrees, helper identities, and relentless busyness — all while leaving the woman herself completely depleted and, often, profoundly lonely.● Why pain-point marketing works against long-term motivation because the further someone gets from their pain, the more their drive evaporates — and what needs to replace it so momentum doesn't collapse at the midpoint.● How embracing your multifaceted, multi-passionate nature rather than niching yourself into a box is not just more authentic but more effective — especially for Geminis, manifesting generators, and anyone who has ever been told they are simply too much.And while you're here, follow us on Instagram @creativelyowned for more daily inspiration on effortlessly attracting the most aligned clients without spending hours marketing your business or chasing clients.
