Questions about the future of federal TRIO programs—academic and support services for low-income, first-generation, and disabled students—come up more than almost any other topic on the podcast. We're joined this week by Kimberly Jones, president of the Council for Opportunity in Education, for a conversation about where TRIO stands and what may be ahead. We begin with some speculation on whether or not we're heading toward a partial government shutdown, and the latest on the Department of Education's moves on accreditation.

Nurses, Doctors Urge Peers To Harm & Doxx ICE Agents, Immigration Raids In Phoenix, AZ Spark Protests, Trump Admin Denies Rumor Border Patrol Chief Bovino Being Removed From Post
*** We recorded this episode before ICE murdered Alex Pretti, a 37 year old ICU nurse who was attempting to help a woman up who had been pushed to the ground by ICE agents in Minneapolis on the morning of January 24, 2026. Despite the administration's attempt to cover up and justify this murder by claiming that Pretti was holding a gun (he wasn't, it was a phone), the facts are clear: ICE is murdering American citizens. And then, they are lying about it. This is not the America we want for ourselves or for our children. We stand with Minnesota, Maine, and everywhere else that is fighting back. Part of our fight is this episode, and the resources we share in it. Please share widely. We are strongest when we stand together. NO ICE. We leave you with the words of Alex Pretti's parents, who, in the face of the callous killing of their son, left us with who he truly is, in their statement that they released on January 24: "We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the 'hero' term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man." Horns honking, people chanting ICE OUT as they crowd busy intersections. Horns honking, ICE agents smashing car windows, and grabbing people from their cars. Which scenario sounds like the America you know? Which one, more importantly, sounds like the America you want to be fighting for? Regardless of what you answered, this episode is a must-listen. We unpack the history of ICE (it's not a long one, despite what might be suggested by our current administration), why ICE acting as the secret police for the administration is not only incredibly illegal today but also reminds us of another secret police which rhymes with Schmestapo, and what we can all DO about ICE in our communities, especially when it seems like we have no agency. What to listen for: ICE's history in America is fairly new – it was formed after the attacks on 9/11/2001. The purpose and guideposts around ICE have shifted with administrations. Most recently? This federalized force of vigilantes, loosely recruited with even looser standards, has been weaponized and deputized to create mass terror, egged on by a fascist leader with an outsized ego and zero morality. The historic precedent: Brownshirts → SA. Like the Proud Boys but 1930s style, and this is where we're at now. But Himmler wanted educated men to be this force, which developed into the SS. Let's not find out what happens in America if and when we get to the SS stage. What can you do? We have tons of ideas for using your body, wallet, writing/petitioning power, and joy. Listen in for our suggestions.

Comenzamos este año 2026 compartiendo la misma perplejidad y sorpresa frente a lo que sucede en América y el mundo. Hoy analizaremos la nueva visión de Donald Trump, quien ha transformado la Doctrina Monroe en una herramienta de dominio absoluto —muy distinta a su sentido original—, y cómo la llamada "extracción" de Nicolás Maduro sitúa a Venezuela bajo una figura similar a los protectorados de inicios del siglo XX, donde la soberanía se desdibuja frente a las potencias. Además, explicaremos por qué sus aspiraciones sobre Groenlandia no son un capricho inmobiliario, sino la pieza final de una ambición que busca redibujar el mapa del poder en pleno 2026, conectando los hilos entre el pasado imperial y un presente que parece sacado de una pesadilla geopolítica. Finalmente hacemos un llamado a que rescatemos la posibilidad de los acuerdos y a una geopolítica multilateral que no se base en la "ley del más fuerte".

For many Black women, higher education has long been framed as both a pathway to security and a form of social currency. But when does the pursuit of another degree serve our growth—and when does it distract us from the work we actually want to do? In this episode, I'm joined by Melissa Ifill, LCSW for a thoughtful conversation about the “grad school urge,” credential collecting, and the complicated relationship Black women have with education, labor, and legitimacy. Together, we explore the emotional, cultural, and political forces that push so many of us toward advanced degrees—and what it looks like to pause, reflect, and choose intentionally. About the Podcast The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.

If you've ever felt like your past diets disqualify you from success… this episode is for you. In today's conversation, Steph and I are reframing one of the biggest mindset traps keeping women stuck in the binge–restrict cycle: believing that past "failures" mean you're broken. Spoiler alert! They don't. They're actually required. We talk about why perfection is NOT the goal, why setbacks are part of the process (not a sign to quit), and how to stop letting overeating moments spiral into guilt, shame, and another "I'll start over Monday" plan. This episode is all about learning how to fail forward, and use those moments as fuel instead of proof you can't change. You'll walk away with: A powerful reframe that instantly softens food guilt How to separate your identity from your eating behaviors A simple way to extract lessons from overeating (without beating yourself up) Why planning for imperfection actually builds confidence Practical steps you can start using TODAY to break the cycle If you're burned out on dieting but still want change, press play. This one might shift everything. You can also connect with Leslie & Steph on Instagram.

Learning how to delay gratification is perhaps more urgent than ever in a culture that gives us immediate dopamine hits on demand. As kids develop the capacity to notice their impulses and feelings without immediately acting on them, they'll develop the capacity for long-term joy and inner peace.Listen to Amanda Suarez, school psychologist, and Michelle Larsen, marriage and family therapist associate, talk about ways to help kids surf the urge.

If January feels more exhausting than exciting, this episode is for you. Steph and I break down why New Year's resolutions hit differently when you have a long history of dieting and why extreme plans, fast starts, and "I can't mess this up again" thinking often lead straight back to overeating and guilt. We talk about how urgency and fear drive overly restrictive rules, why those rules backfire, and what it actually takes to stop the cycle without giving up on your goals. In this episode, you'll learn: Why motivation fades faster each year you diet How extreme rules fuel overeating and binge cycles How to respond to slip-ups without starting over What it means to become a different eater, not just follow another plan Simple mindset shifts you can start using today to create consistency If you're tired of restarting and want a calmer, more sustainable way forward, this episode will help you do January differently.

In this week's episode of Outsmart Overeating, we're talking about that weird week between Christmas and New Year's—leftovers everywhere, days blending together, and the "New Year, New Me!" messaging all over the internet. If you've ever felt frustrated with resolutions that fizzle out by February, this episode is for you. We're breaking down why traditional goal-setting fails and showing you how to create goals that actually fit your life, your habits, and your brain. No extreme detoxes. No overnight transformations. No perfection. Just realistic, actionable steps you can implement today. Here's what we cover: Why resolutions fail: Most goals are based on wishful thinking or past patterns, not the realities of life, stress, and cravings. Reflect before you set a goal: Identify your real motivations, obstacles, and the habits that have tripped you up in the past. Mindset matters: Learn how to bounce back after slips without spiraling into guilt or shame. Sustainable, repeatable goals: Simple habits you can do even on your worst day—not just your perfect day. Accountability is key: Use accountability to prioritize your goals and stay on track when life gets messy. Plan for your life, not a fantasy version of yourself: From workouts to meal planning, create goals that match your real-life schedule and responsibilities. Habit stacking for long-term change: Small, consistent actions over time lead to transformation and freedom from food obsession. By the end of this episode, you'll have a framework for setting goals that actually stick, a plan that works with your life, and a mindset shift that helps you feel in control around food... without extreme dieting. If you're tired of resolutions that fizzle, binge-restrict cycles, and want this new year's resolution to be a success, this episode is your starting point. You can also connect with Leslie & Steph on Instagram.

Clare Gardaí are urging the public to 'take control of their own destiny' when it comes to road safety during Christmas week. To date there have been 186 road fatalities nationwide, 19 higher than was seen in 2024. A dedicated Garda road traffic enforcement operation has been in place since the beginning of the month and will continue until January 5th. Superintendent with the Clare/Tipperary Garda Division Eddie Golden says it's important people are responsible for their safety over the festive period.
In recent days, President Trump has unleashed American military power against jihadists in Syria and Nigeria. Such actions are clearly necessary in light of their intensifying attacks in both countries and demonstrate his commitment that “our country will not allow Radical Islamic Terrorism to prosper.” Fulfilling that warranted pledge, however, will require more than symptomatic treatment, important as it is. Prior to his first election to the presidency, Mr. Trump recognized and decried the ideology that animates such jihadism. And on December 20th, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard underscored the point, declaring that “the greatest near- and long-term threat to both our freedom and our security is…Islamist ideology.” Fortunately, the President can help counter this toxic ideology systemically by banning the organization that is its preeminent champion and enabler: the Muslim Brotherhood. Urge him to do so at BantheBrotherhood.org. This is Frank Gaffney.

If the holidays leave you feeling exhausted, out of control around food, and wondering why you can't just stop, this episode is for you. In this week's Outsmart Overeating Podcast, Coach Steph Miramontes and I unpack a pattern I see constantly in chronic dieters: overeating isn't a willpower problem, it's a rest problem. When your life is nonstop go-go-go and food becomes the only way you pause, overeating becomes predictable. We talk about why burned-out dieters struggle most during the holidays, how hustle culture and perfectionism fuel emotional eating, and the key difference between collapsing from exhaustion and becoming a steady rester... someone who rests on purpose before cravings take over. You'll walk away with simple, actionable ways to slow down, reduce urges, and enjoy holiday food without guilt or starting over in January. Plus, I'm sharing a FREE mini training + workbook with a clear, doable strategy to prevent overeating at holiday parties, so you can enjoy the food and the season. Press play if you're ready to stop relying on food for relief and start feeling in control of what and how much you eat, at all times. You can also connect with Leslie & Steph on Instagram.

Due to a steep rise in flu cases over the past few weeks, the Health Ministry this week recommended that at-risk people, medical staff and visitors to geriatric institutions wear protective face masks. More than 600 children have been hospitalized with the flu this month, 35 in intensive care. More than 900 adults have been hospitalized with the flu in the same time, with 36 in intensive care. Over the past three weeks, four children have died from the flu, three of whom were unvaccinated and had no underlying condition. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Professor Nadav Davidovitch from Bar Ilan University and the chair of Taub Center’s Health Policy program.

More than 100 climate activists came to the State Capitol on Thursday December 11 to urge Governor Hochul to sign legislation that would end the estimated six hundred million of dollars that has been added to utility bills by requiring free gas hookups if the new the customer is within 100 feet of an existing gas pipeline. The cost of such hookups, from $2500 to $10000 per building, is presently added to the utilities' rate base, which means all customers pay for it for decades. The bill is presently on Governor Hochul's desk and she has a week to decide whether or not to sign it. The media reports that she is pushing for some amendments, such as pushing back the implementation date. At the rally in the War Room, we hear from Betta Broad of New Yorkers for Clean Power, Doctor Sandra Steingraber, and from customers of the various utilities in the state.

Leadership is usually framed around what we need to learn — new books, new tools, new strategies. But the longer I lead, the more I'm convinced that some of the biggest breakthroughs come from what we're willing to unlearn.In this first episode of a two-part series, I walk through the first four things leaders must release if they want to grow in a healthy way:Unlearn the Need to Prove YourselfUnlearn the Idea that More is BetterUnlearn the Urge to Keep Everyone HappyUnlearn the Belief that Conflict Means You're FailingThese are the things that keep leaders stuck, anxious, and exhausted, especially when you step into an environment you didn't start. I'll share personal stories, practical examples, and a few lessons I've learned the hard way.And this is only part one.Next week we'll finish it out with Unlearnings 5–7.If this episode resonates, be sure to catch Part 2 in our next episode—it builds directly on this conversation.

Using alcohol to numb emotions—does it really keep you safe, or just keep you stuck in old patterns? For Ann, alcohol became the shortcut to avoid conflict and silence emotions she'd been told to keep hidden since childhood. For Mandy, the urge to drink after work felt like the only way to shut off stress and self-criticism. In this powerful coaching session, Coach Zoe invites both women to explore what's really underneath the desire to drink when feelings become overwhelming. Together, they uncover the links between shame, perfectionism, anxiety, and cravings—and learn practical ways to process emotions without running from them. Their stories show how self-compassion, body awareness, and simple grounding tools can open the door to healing. This conversation is both raw and hopeful, reminding us that the urge to numb is really an invitation to feel, heal, and choose differently. In Ann's session: The lifelong habit of emotional suppression The neuroscience behind drinking to numb feelings Learning to identify and name emotions for the first time Recognizing that needing is not a threat to survival Starting to care for yourself and your body as a path to healing The power of holding space for yourself and your emotions Acknowledging the journey of emotional recovery And more topics… In Mandy's session: The emotional weight of unprocessed past experiences How a lifetime of hypervigilance creates the need to escape Realizing that self-sabotage is a coping mechanism Finding new, creative hobbies to replace drinking The wisdom of the body and the courage to feel Gaining confidence in your own perspective and voice Acknowledging that the journey to healing is not always linear And more… Zoe Ewart is a Certified Naked Mind Senior Coach who brings her experience and understanding to help with the tricky parts of life's big changes. Her coaching gives you an enjoyable, light-hearted, and safe environment to effortlessly take back control of alcohol so you can feel better physically, mentally, and spiritually.

In this deeply moving episode, Maya sits down with Katherine Mandzak, a writer and advocate, as she opens up about losing her beloved younger brother Colin to a rare and aggressive form of bile duct cancer. From growing up as inseparable homeschool siblings to navigating a shocking cancer diagnosis, Katherine shares the raw reality of becoming the only surviving sibling and how her identity, grief, and life path were forever changed. She walks us through the six-month rollercoaster from diagnosis to hospice, the sacred final moments, and the silence that followed. With powerful vulnerability, Katherine discusses anticipatory grief, the weight of being "the strong one," the unexpected beauty of sibling love, and how writing became her lifeline through it all. This episode is a must-listen for anyone facing sibling loss, complicated grief, or struggling to find themselves in the aftermath. In This Episode: [00:00–03:00] Childhood Bond & Homeschooling Katherine reflects on growing up closely with Colin—just the two of them, homeschooled and always side by side.

[10:00–13:00] Shock, Dissociation, and the Urge to "Hold It Together" Katherine opens up about the emotional shutdown she experienced during Colin's treatment, trying to be strong for everyone else. [14:00–16:00] Hopes for a Liver Transplant The family explores living donor options, but everyone, including Katherine and their mother, is ruled out. [16:00–18:00] A Devastating Update Colin shares he has "a year left," but Katherine later learns he only had six months. She speaks candidly about the anger and betrayal of that timeline. [18:00–21:00] The Final Days: Hospice & Sacred Space As the new year begins, Colin enters hospice. Katherine describes visiting him every weekend and witnessing moments where "he had one foot in each world." [21:00–24:00] 2AM Goodbye She recalls the night Colin passed surrounded by silence and stillness and the powerful hug from her father that became a memory etched in time. [24:00–26:00] A Brother's Hidden Love At the memorial, Colin's friends tell Katherine how much he talked about her redefining how she saw their bond. [33:00–39:00] Healing, Boundaries, and Becoming Herself Katherine found her voice again through therapy and creativity. She now embraces who she is forever changed, but healing. [39:00–44:00] Conversations About the Future As the only surviving sibling, she's now navigating conversations around caregiving, children, and long-term planning with her parents.

If Thanksgiving has you feeling excited and secretly anxious about losing control around food, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air. This week, Coach Steph and I break down four real Reddit posts from people navigating the same holiday struggles you are: multiple Thanksgiving meals, pressure to "live a little," panic over leftovers, and the urge to skip meals to "save up" for dinner. Instead of tired dieting tips, we're giving you psychology-based, binge-free strategies to help you: Handle double (or triple) Thanksgiving meals without spiraling Stop the "skip breakfast so you don't overdo it later" cycle Keep leftovers from triggering binges Set boundaries with food-pushy family members If years of dieting have made holidays feel like all-or-nothing eating events, this conversation will show you the calmer, saner middle ground. Press play and let's make this holiday season the most intentional, enjoyable one you've ever had... and you can start by purchasing Season's Eatings: Your Holiday Plate Playbook mini-course today!

Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmFJ11619bY. 3:30pm- On Wednesday night, President Donald Trump signed the Epstein Transparency Act which directs the Justice Department to release all the files in its possession related to its investigation into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. 3:40pm- During a segment on her MS NOW show, Jen Psaki seemingly tried to exploit a victim of Epstein's predations by asking her questions which sought to link President Trump to Epstein. Psaki's attempt ultimately failed, leaving everyone uncomfortable. 3:45pm- Sen. Dave McCormick—United States Senator from Pennsylvania—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his recent editorial in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, “Veterans Are Not Victims, But Some Need Help.” You can find the article here: https://www.post-gazette.com/opinion/guest-columns/2025/11/11/veterans-day-affairs-va-mental-health-dave-mccormick/stories/202511110003. 4:00pm- On Thursday, several Democratic lawmakers—Sen. Elissa Slotkin, Sen. Mark Kelly, Rep. Jason Crow, Rep. Maggie Goodlander, Rep. Chris Deluzio, and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan—released a video to social media imploring service members and intelligence officials to disobey “illegal” orders issued by President Donald Trump. Though, they never once mentioned what the orders might hypothetically be. In a post to Truth Social, President Trump stated: “This is really bad, and Dangerous to our Country. Their words cannot be allowed to stand. SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!! LOCK THEM UP???” He added, “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” 4:30pm- Don't listen to Rich's Google search recommendations…under any circumstances…your targeted ads will never let you forget it… 4:45pm- White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emphatically told the press that “no,” President Trump is not calling for the execution of lawmakers who posted a video urging military service members to ignore orders from the president. 5:00pm- Speaking from the House floor, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) accused several Republicans including EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin of taking campaign donations from Jeffrey Epstein. However, her claim was horribly misleading. The donations were from a Dr. Jeffrey Epstein—a different Jeffery Epstein, with no relation to the predator. 5:20pm- Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) says she's finally retiring…because Hillary Clinton lost in 2016? 5:40pm- HE'S BACK! Rep. Al Green is once again calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump—telling reporters impeachment needs to be the Democrat Party's top priority, even placing it above the economy and affordability. 6:05pm- Are aliens heading our way? Harvard University astrophysicist Avi Loeb suggests an interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS, could be a spacecraft from another planet—though, it isn't likely. 6:30pm- While speaking with Bari Weiss, psychologist Jonathan Haidt explained that research suggests liberal girls spend far more time on social media than conservative girls: “The feeds of the liberal girls get much more taken over by how terrible the world is…Liberal girls are caught in a set of disempowering ideas.” He added: “It's the liberal girls who really rise first and fastest on depression.” 6:40pm CNN Polling: Americans are noticing President Trump's numerous foreign policy successes.

What if the shift from mindless to mindful drinking could change everything? In this episode, Coach Cole sits down with Rhoda and Wendi to share what coaching inside The Path really looks like—compassionate, practical, and doable. Together, they uncover the small, repeatable steps that turn autopilot drinking into a conscious choice.

In Rhoda's Session: Moving from mindless to mindful drinking with awareness and self-compassion Redefining success: tiny “brick by brick” wins, not just streaks Using short-term resets (2 days, even 10 minutes) to build confidence Practicing “data points” instead of shame spirals when slips happen How to stop giving in to alcohol urges by creating a small pause and water-first routine Navigating social situations (Mahjong, Bunco) with mindful choices Breaking the cycle of self-criticism and comparison And additional topics… In Wendi's Session: Recognizing the job alcohol is doing (numbing, emotional regulation) Creating quick “table it” strategies when urges hit in real life Learning to observe urges with curiosity rather than dread From mindless overwhelm to mindful naming of sensations (chest tightness, racing thoughts) How to stop giving in to alcohol urges by separating yourself from the urge with the “rock” visualization Reframing urges as normal emotional waves, like grief—not failure Building self-trust through repeatable, real-life mindful practices And more… Cole Harvey is a certified Naked Mind Senior Coach.

On Day 2, we tackle the internal monologue. True, effortless focus begins with identity. If you constantly tell yourself you're easily distracted, your brain works hard to prove you right. Today, we're using the power of affirmation to embed a new self-image into your subconscious. Get ready to release the belief that focus is hard, and anchor into the truth: 'I am present, focused, and my attention is my superpower,' shifting your internal identity away from effort and toward effortless alignment." This is day 2 of a 7-day meditation series, "Rewiring Your Attention Span for Laser Focus & Deep Work," episodes 3409-3419. YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: The 10-minute Friction Fighter When the craving hits, do not touch the device. Immediately perform The Neural Navigator Breath and assume the Hakini Mudra for 60 seconds. Set a mental or physical timer for 10 minutes. this challenge uses behavioral conditioning to increase your brain's craving tolerance. By intentionally delaying the dopamine hit, you weaken the immediate reward circuit, making high-value, sustained tasks (like Deep Work) feel less effortful and more naturally rewarding over time. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY Welcome to Dopamine Detox: Rewiring Your Attention Span for Laser Focus & Deep Work! If you feel like your attention is constantly being held hostage—pulled between notifications, endless tabs, and the relentless urge to scroll—you are not alone. In our hyper-stimulated world, distraction isn't a moral failing; it's a chemical problem. Your brain has been systematically trained by technology to seek out the tiny, instant gratification hits of dopamine that low-value tasks provide. This constant craving leaves you exhausted, scattered, and stuck in the restless loop of the Default Mode Network (DMN), making true, high-quality concentration feel impossible. This week, we are fighting fire with Neuroplasticity. This 7-day series isn't just about trying harder; it's about giving your brain a complete reboot. We will introduce targeted, science-backed meditation tools that strategically decrease your brain's dependence on instant hits and build the myelin sheaths required for Deep Work. By the end of this journey, you will have moved from reacting to distraction to proactively commanding your focus. You will build an unbreakable internal system that allows you to bypass analysis paralysis, overcome the resistance of starting difficult tasks, and enter the elusive Flow State on demand. Get ready to transform your attention span from a liability into your most powerful competitive advantage. Day 1: Release Fear Visualization Day 2: Affirmation: "I am present, focused, and my attention is my superpower." Day 3: Neural Navigator Breath Day 4: Hakini mudra for focus Day 5: Third Chakra for Clarity Day 6: Mental Focus Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7: Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

A new survey from Orlando Health shows that more than a third of men in the U.S. say they would rather do pretty much anything than talk about their prostate health. Medical experts warn that avoiding discussions with your doctor about prostate health can lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment for a condition that more than half of men over 50 are affected by. There is now a new minimally invasive treatment for enlarged prostates that has a faster recovery rate with longer lasting results. FOX's Tonya J. Powers speaks with Dr. Jay Amin, urologist at Orlando Health Medical Group Urology, who urges men to have open conversations about their prostate health, and tells us more about the new procedure.
