If you've ever looked around your home and thought, “This used to feel like me… but now it doesn't anymore,” this episode is for you. Today, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing a real Decorating SOS call with Rebecca, a homeowner who's ready to evolve her style. She's transitioning away from the farmhouse trend and moving toward something more timeless, classic, and elevated—with warmth, coziness, and layered design decisions that feel intentional rather than trendy. Her goal? A Southern transitional home that feels polished, welcoming, and thoughtfully put together. But like so many women I work with, Rebecca found herself stuck between two styles—unsure what to keep, what to change, and how to move forward without making expensive mistakes. Inside this call, you'll hear how we: • Clarify what Southern transitional really means in real life • Identify which farmhouse pieces can stay—and which ones are holding the room back • Talk through simple ways to elevate a space without starting over • Discuss how layering textures, materials, and color creates a more timeless feel • Create a clear decorating direction so every future decision becomes easier If you've ever wondered what it's actually like to get personalized decorating help, this episode gives you a behind-the-scenes look at how quickly clarity can happen when you have the right guidance. And if you're ready for that kind of clarity in your own home, I've created something special. For the next couple of days, the Spring Room Reset Bundle is available at a special price. Inside the bundle you'll get: • Two Decorating SOS Calls with me • Three months inside The Collective for continued learning and support • My Redecorating Roadmap to help you prioritize projects and spend your decorating budget wisely It's the perfect combination of personalized guidance, design education, and a step-by-step plan so you can finally create a home that feels cohesive, cozy, and unmistakably yours. But the sale is only happening for a few more days.

Deliverance from estrangement can happen all at once and stay steadily moving forward in an upward direction. But often, it's not linear. It's messy, and sometimes that messiness can cause you to wonder if you've done something wrong or messed everything up. Even if you're not yet reconciled with your estranged son or daughter, it's important to know what to expect as the process unfolds - so that the enemy has less ability to confuse you or cause you anxiety around it. Let's have a real talk about what reconciliation looks like - and I'll tell you about an example of messy (but powerful) deliverance, from the Bible. Warm up your tea, and let's talk about it.  .

Client Reviews… ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐  Jenny's teachings have produced results reconnecting me with my estranged daughter I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support and guidance received in the most tragic time of my life from coach Jenny Good. Her faith, compassion, understanding, dedication and display of radical love has truly been life-changing for me. I was so overwhelmed with feelings of confusion, guilt, and sadness. I felt lost and didn't know how to navigate through the emotional turmoil I was experiencing. However, from the very first call, Jenny created a safe and non-judgmental space for me to share my details. Her ability to listen attentively and empathize while helping me understand a different way of thinking is truly remarkable. She understood my feelings and offered tools each session in ways I have not experienced even from therapy. I am forever thankful for the medicine she has poured into me to be the very best version of myself! This has rippled into all areas of life for me. Jenny's teachings have produced results reconnecting me with my estranged daughter! Thank you for being the vessel of unwavering faith & love that so many of us could benefit from, estranged or not.

Saturday was one of the nicest races of the year with pure ice and no snow dust. Then Sunday brought a completely different challenge. With temperatures reaching 50 degrees, about three inches of water covered the entire track, making for a wild and challenging race. A weekend that showed how quickly conditions can change in cross country racing. Support the show

Here's my latest forecast and it looks very warm today. Lots more melting.

Maino Mane tackles the widely nuanced topic of how can a man know if a woman is showing genuine interest or she's just being nice?During today's cast, The Don breaks down how women are indifferent and subtle and can give very conflicting "choosing signals" or "indicators of interest." In real time when a young lady fancies a hunk it's not always accompanied by a warm bubbling smile, or the twirling of her hair, endlessly staring with googly eyes, or mirroring a man's body language as so many many dating coaches and pick up artists would establish as the law of showing interest. Many gents have been hit with a rude awakening in thinking something was when it wasn't. I mean let's be honest, the only way to really know if a chick is really into a dude is if she outright approaches a him. Beyond that it's all speculation...Right? Maybe. It's best for guys to understand that women don't engage or show interest in the same fashion that men show interest in a woman. Because a woman's calling card is to attract. Her job is not to approach, hunt, or pursue. For most single women the best technique is to send hints she wants a particular guy to hit on her. Subconsciously, most damsels know they loose leverage seeming to be too anxious, needy or even desperate for a man's attention. However, there's great news because choosing season is always in season and yes women are checking for suitors but it's just not manifested in ways the average Joe thinks it is. Because of this Maino Mane is here to shed light on how men can actually know when to go get the girl.

Don and Dude keep the “I Love the 80s” journey rolling into 1988's R&B bedrooms and metal bunkers, where new jack swing coalesces in cramped apartments and concept metal turns Reagan-era paranoia into a full-blown rock opera. One of us slides into a silky debut that helped sketch the blueprint for sensitive-smooth-guy R&B, while the other drops into a tightly plotted metal epic about addiction, brainwashing, and failed revolution that still hits uncomfortably close to home.The AlbumsAl B. Sure! – In Effect Mode (1988)Al B. Sure! turns a bare-bones home setup and a newly discovered falsetto into a compact set of late-night R&B grooves. “Nite and Day,” “Off on Your Own (Girl),” and “If I'm Not Your Lover” sketch a sensitive, romantic persona over sleek drum machines and smooth keys.Queensrÿche – Operation: Mindcrime (1988)Queensrÿche fuse metal and political thriller storytelling in a concept album about Nikki, a drug-addicted drifter turned assassin by the manipulative Dr. X. From “Revolution Calling” through “Suite Sister Mary” to “Eyes of a Stranger,” the record plays like one continuous, cinematic descent into radicalization and regret.Diggin' AlbumsThe Sheepdogs – Keep Out of the Storm (2026)Warm guitars, stacked harmonies, and unfussy grooves for fans of classic 70s-style rock.Living Colour – Vivid (1988)A sharp blend of heavy riffs, funk rhythms, and pointed social commentary anchored by “Cult of Personality.”Pink Breath of Heaven – Color Makes a Sound (2026)Dreamy guitars and airy vocals drift through hazy, color-soaked indie shoegaze landscapes.Social Distortion – Born to Kill (2026)Straight-ahead rock songs with punk grit and rootsy twang, all carried by Mike Ness' weathered storytelling.Follow & SupportFollow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Bluesky @albumnerds, and support by subscribing, rating, reviewing, and sharing.“Look… me and the McDonald's people got this little misunderstanding. See, they're McDonald's… I'm McDowell's. They got the Golden Arches, mine is the Golden Arcs. They got the Big Mac, I got the Big Mick. We both got two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, but their buns have sesame seeds. My buns have no seeds.” – Cleo McDowell, played by John Amos in 1988's Coming to America.

Send a textWhat if the biggest driver of a healthy pregnancy isn't found in a chart, but in a bus schedule, a work shift, or a zip code? In this episode, Cara and Missi pull back the curtain on social determinants of health and talk candidly about why late or no prenatal care rarely means a patient doesn't care—and how midwives can meet these barriers head-on.We break down the big five domains—economic stability, education, healthcare access, neighborhood and environment, and social context—and connect them to preterm birth, preeclampsia, and low birth weight. You'll hear real stories from triage to community clinics that reveal why “proximity” isn't the same as “access,” how immigration fears suppress visits, and how chronic stress leaves a physiologic mark. Then we get tactical: validated screening tools like PRAPARE and the AAFP Social Needs Screening Tool, the three fast questions that catch most needs, and scripts that normalize sensitive topics without stigma.From there, we move into action. Warm handoffs, bedside calls, and referrals that put the follow-up burden on the system—not the patient—turn intentions into impact. We dig into practical documentation with Z codes that make populations visible, and we frame advocacy as a clinical skill that spans workplace notes, hospital policy, and conversations with legislators. Along the way, we draw a bright line between equality and equity and share simple ways to right-size support: flexible hours, interpreters, transportation help, and trauma-informed consent.If you're ready to turn empathy into outcomes, this conversation will give you tools you can use on your next shift.

Hi Sleepy!I start with my hands.Not in a dramatic way. Just soap bubbles and warm water and suddenly the realization that these hands have been with me my whole life. They've touched thousands upon thousands of objects I don't remember. Door handles, coffee mugs, faces, fish-shaped cutting boards that looked more like potatoes with fins.We wander through Falun's red dust under my childhood nails. Through my grandmother's cool pianist hands. Through a teacher who showed me that whatever shape my hands made was a real shape. Through strangers on trams with secret model-airplane lives. Through involuntary sigh support groups. Through tinnitus and survival and the quiet miracle of getting used to things that once felt unbearable.It's an introspective, slightly philosophical, gently absurd journey to sleep. A meditation on touch, memory, apology, and the strange magic of saying sorry. You don't have to follow any of it. Let it be background noise while you fall asleep. Let the words drift past like buses you don't need to board.It is what it is. What happens happens. And right now there's nothing we can do about it.So rest your hands. Let them be still. Let yourself drift off to sleep.Sleep Tight!More about Henrik, click here: https://linktr.ee/Henrikstahl Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Überall wird diese Woche Feuer gelegt: Zum einen bei ARD und ZDF, denn hier wird weiter der Rotstift angesetzt. Zahlreiche Spartensender wie One oder tagesschau24 sind betroffen und verschwinden Ende des Jahres von der Bildfläche. Körber und Hammes geben den genauen Überblick. Feurig geht es auch bei der Übernahme von Warner Bros. Discovery zu, denn bald wird sich entscheiden, inwiefern deren Streamingdienste zusammengelegt werden – und unter welchem Namen. Noch mehr Feuer gab es bei ntv, als deren Studio wegen eines Brandes geräumt werden musste und intern dann auch noch falsch darüber berichtet wurde. Und beim ESC brennt es ohnehin, denn Sarah Engels gewinnt den Vorentscheid für Wien und vertritt Deutschland mit ihrem Titel "Fire".

SFW | Emotional Intimacy | Slowburn Trust | Android Repair Scene She comes back broken but not just in body. The repairs were supposed to make her better. Cleaner. Sharper. But what they took can't be replaced. Sixteen days gone. No warning. No goodbye. And now she's back and fumbling through corrupted memories, quiet guilt, and something that feels suspiciously like longing. Your workshop is still the only place that feels real. And your hands... They're still the only ones that know how to reach her. She doesn't sound like herself anymore. But if anyone can find her again beneath the upgrades, it's you. TW: PTSD-adjacent memory disruption, emotional numbness, medicalized self-concept, subtle trauma-coded language, societal corruption PS: Hey lovely moonkips~ Quick behind-the-scenes note! Originally, this SynthSkin installment was going to include a visual element with listener dialogue on-screen for a more interactive feel. I was experimenting with ways to make it even more immersive and give you a stronger presence in the world. But, real talk, my amazing editor is still learning some of the new tools I asked him to try for video editing something else for me, and instead of holding this story hostage while we figure it out, I decided to keep it simple and release this one in the MoonSilk immersive style we've been doing for more immersion. So if you notice it's a little different from what I hinted at before, that's why. Sometimes perfection gets in the way of presence and I'd rather share the heartbeat now than wait for polish later, and invariably get distracted by another hot storyline in the meantime - WHICH HAPPENS WAY MORE OFTEN THAN I LIKE TO ADMIT. ADHD is a helluva drug, lol. 

Today we look at simplifying the often complex chain of energy and how it relates to what you eat and your mental stress. We look at ways to recognize and dissipate stress in a productive way. We look at why that first mile or so of the run  can feel terrible but the end feels amazing. It can also go the other way. Why? We talk about heart rate variation during training and some of the signs you should be looking for during your workouts. We talk about how training is a bunch of microcosms for your race and how certain days can prepare you for the unknown. We talk about controlling cortisol spikes, the 48 hour rule, and compounding stress. We look at the classic sign of overtraining, how your diet and actions can affect you for several days, and how to tangle with delayed muscle soreness and fatigue.

Die parlement het Woensdag vroeg verdaag te midde van chaos, na opmerkings oor nasionaliteit en identiteit gerig aan adjunk-onderwysminister Dino Ballotti deur Nudo-parlementslid Vetaruhe Kandorozu. Dit het gebeur toe die IPC se Imms Nashinge, leier van die amptelike opposisie in die parlement, sy bydrae tot die verkrygingswetsontwerp gelewer het. Balotti was besig om die kamer te verlaat toe Kandorozu vir hom gesê het om terug te gaan na Italië en dat Namibiërs nie so lyk nie. 'n Bohaai het losgebars, waarna 'n hoogs ontstoke onderwysminister Sanet Steenkamp Kandorozu aangespreek het.

🧭 REBEL Rundown 🔑Key Points Try the coffee nap! Where you combine caffeine and a 30-minute nap to then have that boost energy and alertness by the time it kicks in.💤 Sleep isn’t optional—it’s crucial for memory, mood regulation, and physical recovery. It is fundamentally different from rest❌ Replacing sleep with caffeine isn’t effective and can have negative health impacts. Make getting enough sleep a priority🌞 Sunlight exposure is important for maintaining circadian rhythms and sleep quality. This applies even if you work as a nocturnist💡 Creating a personalized sleep system enhances quality and consistency. It gives you back control of a schedule that you may feel like is out of your hands.🧩 If you’ve tried these strategies and you’re still struggling, consider true sleep pathology (insomnia, shift work disorder, sleep apnea) and get help—this is not a “be tougher” problem.🩺 Better sleep isn’t just about feeling good; it’s directly tied to error reduction, patient safety, and longevity in EM/ICU careers.

Here we sharpen the person behind the practitioner by focusing on things that improve our performance, optimizing team dynamics and the human behavior that embodies the hidden curriculum of medicine. Today we are exploring the imperative topic of rest and why it’s not just about sleeping. The second of a two part series, hosted by Dr. Mark Ramzy with guests Dr. Maureen Aiad and Dr. Amil Badoolah, continue our discussion but this time on the multifaceted nature of sleep, how it serves as medicine and how we can use our tools deliberately to get more of it! Cognitive Question How would your clinical performance, patience with families, and long-term career sustainability change if you treated sleep as a non-negotiable clinical intervention rather than a flexible “nice-to-have”? 💤How is Sleep Different From Rest? 1. Rest reduces load; sleep repairs systemsWe previously talked about the 7 types of rest and you can check that out hereExamples of physical rest include: pausing tasks, stepping away from the monitor, taking a walk, stretching, breathing, journaling, connecting with a colleague. This lightens your cognitive/emotional burden.Sleep is fundamentally different in that it’s an active biologic process that helps:Consolidates memory and learning (yes, including the tough cases from last night).Regulates mood, impulse control, and emotional reactivity.Supports immunity, metabolic health, and cardiovascular function.Repairs tissue, replenishes neurotransmitters, and fine-tunes neural networks.You can have “rested but underslept” days (you took breaks but got 4 hours in bed), and “slept but unrested” days (you got hours, but all junk sleep). Both matter, but they are not interchangeable.2. Sleep architecture vs. “knocking out”True restorative sleep cycles through NREM and REM in predictable patterns.Alcohol, late caffeine, and fragmented nights may help you fall asleep faster but:Suppress REM.Shorten deep sleep.Increase awakenings and light sleep.The result: you technically slept, but your brain didn’t get the “software updates” it needed.Biology isn’t built for your scheduleCircadian rhythms were designed for light-day / dark-night cycles, not:10 pm–7 am ED shifts.24-hour calls.6 nights in a row followed by days.Your body can adapt partially, but not instantly and not perfectly. That’s why:You can feel “jet-lagged” even when you haven’t traveled.Sleep before and after nights feels odd and fragile.Recognizing that “this is biologically unnatural” is key: you’re not weak; you’re fighting physiology. 🏥How This Applies to the Emergency Department or ICU? Performance & safetySleep deprivation:Slows reaction time and increases error rate.Impairs risk assessment and complex decision-making.Drops your frustration tolerance with consultants, families, and staff.In both emergency medicine and critical care, that translates into:Anchoring on the wrong diagnosis.Missing subtle clinical changes.Snapping at a tech, nurse or resident and damaging team culture. Chronic health for chronic shift workLong-term sleep disruption is associated with:Hypertension, diabetes, obesity.Depression, anxiety, burnout.Arrhythmias (e.g., AFib) and increased stroke risk.Possibly increased all-cause mortality.You’re already in a high-stress, high-exposure specialty. Chronically poor sleep amplifies that risk profile and can end a career early—or make you miserable while you’re still in it.Culture of “heroics” vs. healthSkipping sleep to pick up extra shifts, late meetings, or “just one more note” is often praised.We rarely celebrate:The attending who says “no” to a 2 pm meeting post-nights.The resident who defends their blackout-curtains-and-earplugs routine. 🛏️Different Ways to Improve Your Sleep Clarify your “sleep non-negotiables”Decide how many hours you realistically need to function (e.g., 7–9 on off days, realistic blocks on nights).Treat those hours as you would a procedure time—blocked, protected, and respected.Use caffeine like a drug, not a reflexAim for ≤ 2 cups equivalent on most days.Avoid caffeine within 4–6 hours of your planned sleep time (remember: it can hang around up to 12 hours).Consider scheduling caffeine for:Early in the shift for alertness.Strategic “coffee naps” (see below), not late-night chugging.Respect alcohol’s impact on sleepRecognize that even small to moderate doses degrade sleep architecture.Avoid using alcohol as a “sleep aid”—you’ll fall asleep faster but sleep worse.If you do drink, separate it from bedtime and keep it modest.Optimize food and fluid timingHydrate consistently on shift, but taper fluids ~4 hours before bed to reduce nocturnal bathroom trips.Avoid heavy, spicy, or large meals within 2–3 hours of sleep to decrease reflux and discomfort.Plan a light, balanced “pre-sleep” snack if going to bed hungry keeps you awake.Move your body (but not right before bed)Regular exercise improves sleep depth and latency.Try to avoid intense workouts within 2 hours of bedtime.On shift: micro-movement (stairs, brisk walks between pods, quick stretch sessions) can help alertness without wrecking sleep later.Control light exposureMaximize sunlight or bright light after waking (even if that’s 3–4 pm after a night).Minimize bright light and screens before sleep:Dim lights.Use night mode/blue-light filters if you must scroll.For daytime sleep:Use blackout curtains, tinfoil, cardboard, or sleep masks.Yes seriously use tinfoil if you have to, we talk about it on the podcast episode!Aim for “I might be blind” darkness—so dark you can’t see your hand in front of your face.Dial in your sleep environmentCool room temperature (fan or AC if possible).White noise or sound machine to mask household/traffic noise.Earplugs and eye masks as needed.Bed used primarily for sleep (and sex)—not for charting, doom scrolling, or email.Strategic power napsKeep naps ≤ 20–30 minutes to avoid sleep inertia.Prefer early-afternoon or pre-night-shift naps.Coffee nap strategy:Drink a small coffee.Immediately lie down for a 20–30 min nap.Wake up as the caffeine kicks in, combining nap benefit + stimulant.Thoughtful melatonin useRemember melatonin is a hormone, not a vitamin gummy.Lower doses often work as well as (or better than) large OTC doses.Use it intentionally and intermittently, not as a crutch every night.Over-reliance may reduce your own natural production and its effectiveness over time.Build pre-sleep ritualsRepeated, calming habits signal your body it’s time to downshift:Warm shower, gentle stretching, or yoga.Guided breathing or body scan.Brief journaling or “brain dump” of tasks to get them out of your head and onto paper.Protect from pathologic patternsIf despite consistent effort you:Snore heavily, stop breathing, or gasp in sleep.Feel excessively sleepy driving home or at work.Cannot fall asleep or stay asleep for weeks to months.Consider evaluation for sleep apnea, insomnia, or shift-work sleep disorder with your physician or sleep specialist. ⏩Immediate Action Steps for Before/During/After Your Next Shift 1. **Before the Shift**: Plan a 20–90 minute nap before your first night shift (many clinicians find 3–5 hours earlier in the day is ideal).I treat ED and ICU shifts very differently. I always sleep 3-5 hours before my night shifts aiming for the full 5 (sometimes 6 or more) hours for my ED shifts because you always have to be “on”. Depending on the ICU I’m working in, I may have a bit more downtime so 3 to 5 hours is plenty.Set a caffeine plan: decide in advance when your last dose will be (e.g., none after 2–3 am if sleeping at 8–9 am).Tell your household, “This is my sleep block” and agree on a plan for kids, pets, deliveries, etc.On my calendar, I completely block off time called “Pre-call sleep” so no meetings can be scheduled and then put my phone in airplane mode2. **During the Shift** Hydrate early; taper fluids in the last 3–4 hours of your shift Eat something light but adequate; avoid “last-minute” heavy meals right before sign-out.Build in micro-breaks and movement: one or two short walks, a few stretches, even a quick stair run if safe.Get outside or near a window for a few minutes of light exposure if possible.3. **After the Shift**On the way home:Use sunglasses to reduce bright morning light if you’re aiming for sleep soon.Avoid “just checking” email or messages; shift into wind-down mode.At home:Do a brief, calming decompression (shower, light snack, 10–15 minutes of low-stimulation TV or reading).Make your room cold, quiet, and dark (blackout curtains, tinfoil/cardboard, white noise, fan).Put your phone on Do Not Disturb and physically place it away from the bed.On my calendar, I completely block off time called “Post-call sleep” so again no meetings can be scheduled and then I personally don’t just put my phone on Do Not Disturb but rather in airplane mode and WIFI OFF If you can’t sleep after ~20–30 minutes:Get out of bed, do something calming in dim light (breathing, gentle stretching, journaling).Return to bed when sleepy—this trains your brain to associate bed with sleep, not frustration. Conclusion Rest and sleep are both critical—but they’re not interchangeable. Rest helps you step out of the constant “on” of our jobs, while sleep is the biological intervention that restores your ability to show up safely and sustainably. Rest ≠ sleep. Rest reduces load; sleep repairs your brain and body. You need both, on purpose.As EM and ICU clinicians, we’re trying to perform formula-one-level medicine with engines that often only see half their maintenance. You won’t fix shift work. You can build a sleep system that respects your biology, your schedule, and your life at home.That system starts with valuing sleep, then prioritizing it, personalizing it, trusting the process when it’s imperfect, and actively protecting both your routine and your mindset. 🚨 Clinical Bottom Line Sleep is medicine. Shift work is biologically unnatural. Struggling does not mean you’re weak; it means you’re human fighting physiology. Use your tools deliberately. Caffeine, naps, light, food, movement, melatonin, and environment can be leveraged—or can quietly sabotage you. Build and defend a personalized sleep routine. Communicate it, normalize it, and protect it from casual encroachment. You can’t control every trauma, code, or admission—but you can control how seriously you take your own recovery. Your patients, your team, and your future self all benefit when you do. Further Reading Espie CA. The ‘5 principles’ of good sleep health.

Dawnielle Tehama wants you to know her story. Like many Indigenous people throughout North America, Dawnielle is proud of where she comes from. And as an educator and advocate in the travel industry, as well as an enrolled Modoc citizen of the Klamath Tribes, she believes that sharing Native stories through tourism can be transformational for communities and visitors alike. Dawnielle joins this episode of the podcast to discuss how groups can discover the diversity and riches of America’s Native communities — and do so in meaningful, respectful ways. She shares stories about how food can be a gateway to cultural encounters and speaks honestly about confronting difficult topics in travel. Plus, we have news about a cruise line’s dress code change and a heartfelt message for everyone in tourism who has been impacted by recent conflict and violence. Insights from Dawnielle Tehama Dawnielle had a lot of great perspective on how travel planners can find meaningful experiences with Native communities. Here's what she had to say about the importance of authenticity: “We're tasked with trying to help the traveler identify how to have a culturally authentic, non-performative experience. We don't want to just say, ‘Hey, put on this costume and do this thing for a group’ when it's actually regalia and it's something that's very near and dear to us. And often there's a story, there's ceremony, there's a purpose for everything that we're doing.” Plus, she had great perspectives on: How tourism can uplift Indigenous communities How to make sure your visit makes a positive economic impact Finding the best sources of information and expertise in Native areas Resources Mentioned in This Episode Learn more about the American Indigenous Tourism Association at americanindigenoustourism.org and discover the association’s map and other resources at destinationnativeamerica.com.

It is one of the foggiest mornings we have seen in some time but it makes way for a warm week. Chris has the details.

Katy Reed Hodges and Curt Grice kick off this week's Tell Me More with a lively (and very un-scripted) conversation about Ash Wednesday—why it matters, how FBCA prepares the ashes, and what it means to practice repentance in a way that's thoughtful, Baptist, and deeply formative (including a sweet at-home moment as Katy and her husband help their boys understand: “God loves me.”).Then they shift into a rich walk through John 6: the feeding of the 5,000 (and then some), Jesus' abundance, the crowd's mixed motives, and the hard words that follow—where many walk away, but the disciples stay because, as Peter says, “You have the words of eternal life.”Along the way, Katy highlights key life-of-the-church moments coming up at FBCA (youth Encounter Weekend, ordination/licensing, and congregational votes), while Curt offers pastoral and theological insights on Jesus' authority, presence, and refusal to be molded by public expectations.Warm, funny, and full of depth—this episode points us again to the powerful, good Jesus.

Ask David, #491, featuring our beloved Dr. Matthew May. Can Introverts be helped? How can we enhance our happiness? What's the best movie to watch if your father rejected you? How can I identify my feelings? The answers to the first two questions are brief and were written prior to the show. Listen to the podcast for a more in-depth discussion of each question. Today's Questions Anonymous asks: Can an introvert become more extroverted? Or are these personality traits "fixed" and unchanging? Seve asks: I know that TEAM can be super helpful for negative thoughts and feelings, but what are the best tools to enhance happiness and become the person we want to be? I have a patient whose father rejected her when she was young. What would be a good movie that I could recommend for her? Anonymous asks: I don't know how to identify my feelings. Can you help?   Today's Answers Question #1 Anonymous asks: Can an introvert become more extroverted? Or are these personality traits "fixed" and unchanging? Dear Dr. Burns, I hope this message finds you well. I would like to ask you a question regarding personality traits. Some articles suggest that introversion and extraversion are relatively stable characteristics—meaning that an introverted person cannot truly become more extroverted, and vice versa (or at least not to a great extent). They also propose that introverts tend to lose energy in social situations and recharge when alone, whereas extroverts gain energy from social interaction. I'm very curious to know your thoughts on this topic. Do you believe an introverted person can become more extroverted? And in your view, is an introvert's need for solitude more of a true "need" or a "want"? Thank you very much for your time and for the inspiration your work has provided to so many of us. Warm regards, Anonymous David's reply If you like, I can make this an Ask David question for an upcoming podcast! It's a cool question and raises many questions: Do "personalities" even "exist?" Is this like the question, "Do we have a self?" It also focuses on the issue of whether we can change and grow, or whether there is some invisible barrier beyond which we can grow any further, due to some inherent "limit" due to our "personality type." Best, david   Question #2 Dr. Dear David: I know first-hand how helpful TEAM CBT can be to address negative thoughts and emotions but our path to a happier life and to the person we want to be never really ends.  Are there any other tools that Dr. David may have come across and can suggest for someone's growth? Thank you, Steve David's Answer Great question, and I'll give you a (hopefully) great answer on the podcast! But here's the quickie answer. Focus on one specific moment when you'd like to be feeling happier, or when you need help on become the person you want to be, and then use a Daily Mood Log, Habit / Addiction Log (HAL), or Relationship Journal, depending on what's needed. This is the exact same fractal concept we use in all of TEAM CBT! Warmly, david   Question #3 Hi podcast crew: I have a patient whose father rejected her when she was young. What would be a really good movie to recommend do her? David's Answer Sadly, I lost my notes from this podcast, but in general David and Matt found this question somewhat offensive, as it suggests you can chase a problem (father rejected me) with a method, in this case recommending a good movie. We, instead, would recommend TEAM CBT, which is real therapy, and not gimmicks. Movies can be rewarding, but that's not the same as effective therapy! Rhonda asked David and Matt what was wrong with recommending a movie in the same way we recommend books for clients to read.   Have a listen to hear their response.   Question #4 Anonymous asks: I don't know how to identify my feelings. Can you help? David's Answer Rhonda said one of her clients could not identify their feelings, unless they have the Feelings Chart in front of them.   David thought that anyone could identify their feelings and explained. One simple way is to identify a specific moment when you were upset and wanting help. Think about what was going on, who wee you with, where were you, etc. Then review the Feeling Words charts, which I will link to, to see how many, and which ones, resonate with how you were feeling at that time, or how you may still be feeling. Feeling Words Chart with Five Secrets, v 2 Another way is to draw a Stick Figure of yourself, and put a bubble above its head. Then imagine the Stick Figure is upset and put the Stick Figure's negative thoughts and feelings in the bubble. They don't have to be your feelings and thoughts, just make some up. Do it now—on paper! DON'T just think about it. That never works! Have you done it yet? No? That's what I suspected. If you ever DO want the answer to your question, so the stick figure on paper and then write me back. Thanks! Finally, you can listen to the podcast on "I Feel" Statements, and spend one week telling five people a day how you feel, using words from the Feeling Words Chart. For example, when checking groceries you could tell the clerk, "I'm feeling happy because we have such beautiful weather today." Or, "I'm feeling really frustrated with politics this morning!" Or whatever.  Thanks for listening today! Matt, Rhonda, and David

As the freight market tightens and costs rise, supply chain leaders must plan ahead, strengthen carrier ties, and stay agile.In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton and special guest host Karin Bursa sit down with Bobby Holland of U.S. Bank and Nick Palmucci of Ferguson Enterprises to discuss the latest U.S. Bank Freight Payment Index for Q4 2025. They unpack what “freight market tightening” looks like in practice, with capacity shrinking, shipper spend climbing, and regional performance moving in different directions, from strength in the Northeast to weakness in the Southwest.They also get into what's driving demand shifts and cost pressure, including changes in consumer behavior, softer manufacturing signals, and uncertainty that keeps teams on their toes. Along the way, they share practical moves leaders can make right now, such as building a three-year roadmap, reducing spreadsheet dependency, locking in bids earlier, and operating like a shipper of choice when capacity gets tight. The result is a grounded look at what the data shows, what shippers are experiencing, and how to turn both into better decisions.Jump into the conversation:(00:00) Intro(03:38) Warm-up questions for the panel(06:54) Tightening capacity and rising costs(11:46) Q4 national view: lower capacity, higher costs(15:23) West: softer volumes, higher spend(19:25) Southwest: brief rebound, costs climb(21:56) Midwest: modest gains, mixed demand(24:51) Northeast: strongest growth, higher rates(28:13) Southeast: volumes down, muted spend(30:32) Consumer confidence and freight demand(31:46) Leading through uncertainty: roadmap and tech(40:36) What's ahead: capacity and shipper-of-choice strategyAdditional Links & Resources:Download the latest edition of the U.S. Bank Freight Payment Index: https://www.usbank.com/corporate-and-commercial-banking/industry-expertise/transportation/freight-payment-insights.html?ecid=OTHE_80042Connect with Karin Bursa: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karinbursa Connect with Bobby Holland: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bobby-holland-4a9355/Learn more about U.S. Bank: https://www.usbank.com/index.htmlConnect with Nick Palmucci: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-palmucci/Learn more about Ferguson: https://www.ferguson.comLearn more about Ferguson Home: https://www.fergusonhome.comLearn more about Ferguson Corporate: https://corporate.ferguson.comLearn more about our hosts: https://supplychainnow.com/aboutLearn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.comWatch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-nowSubscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/joinWork with us!

When our students face challenges in the classroom, some teachers double down on control and rigor: tighter rules, firmer consequences, higher demands. Others lean toward grace and flexibility: easing up, giving extensions, and softening expectations because they know our students are carrying a lot. But what if the answer isn't either/or? Warm Demander pedagogy is an approach that pairs genuine care and deep relationship-building with unwavering high expectations. It's the belief that students need to feel seen, respected, and valued — and that we honor them most by refusing to lower the bar. In today's episode, I'm joined by educators Marcee Harris and Dr. Wendy Amato. They explain what Warm Demander pedagogy looks like in action, how it supports student agency and productive struggle, and why it's especially relevant for teachers right now. ___________________________ Thanks to Renaissance and SchoolAI for sponsoring the episode.

In this episode we answer listener questions covering emergency funds for higher and additional rate taxpayers, and inheritance tax considerations around beneficiary SIPPs. We also discuss whether couples should rebalance pension contributions, the key steps to take before retiring abroad, and what to know about DB pension transfers. Finally, we look at cross-border pension taxation using the UK–Denmark double taxation treaty as an example. Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA40    01:20  Question 1 Hi Pete & Roger, Thanks for all your helpful and easy to understand information. I have only been on my financial wellbeing journey for a year.  I work in the NHS and am in a higher tax bracket. I am fully enrolled in the NHS pension, more out of previous disinterest than any actual action on my part. I am single and currently saving up for a down payment on a house in about 4/5yrs. I maxed out my ISA last year and expect to do the same this year; this includes money for the down payment. I also took out a SIPP which I only recalled last year; I took it out 20+ years ago. However I am still waiting for a statement from the pension office before my accountant can work out how much more I can add to the SIPP.  In the interim I have my emergency fund in a premium bond (20k) but am worried it's being eroded by inflation. I expect to be an additional tax payer in the next few years. Where should I keep my excess cash? More in premium bonds with no tax but erosion by inflation; or open GIA or more in high interest savings account and pay the tax? Or is there another option you would recommend? Btw I have £600 in crypto (Coinbase and Etherium) but don't plan to put more than £400 more in then plan to forget about it. It's a tiny fraction of what I put in my ISA. Thanks, Joy   04:46  Question 2 Dear Pete and Roger. Love the podcast. I think it is essential listening for those wanting to elevate their knowledge of the incredibly important subject of financial planning and it also highlights the value add that financial professionals can provide. My mother is 79 and has a comfortable guaranteed inflation linked income via state and civil service pension, which is supplemented by savings (maxed premium bonds & healthy cash savings) and investments held in ISAs and a beneficiary SIPP from my late father who passed before 75yrs old (therefore the assets are income and CGT free). My mother is keen to minimise the IHT on the estate both her and my father worked so hard to create. Despite her comfortable situation, I still have to encourage her to spend and use your very helpful '40% off sticker' analogy on a regular basis. It is my understanding that SIPPs will be subject to IHT and income tax from 2027. As my sister and I are both additional rate taxpayers, we will potentially be subject to 67% tax on any assets remaining in the SIPP if the estate is above £1m IHT threshold. While the '67% off sticker' analogy is even more helpful to encourage her spending, it has triggered some planning. We are drawing down the beneficiary SIPP to fund ISA each year for my mum – keeping the income and CGT tax benefits for my mum while removing it from the double income and IHT tax on death. As part of the IHT planning we are now considering regular gifts from surplus income. When combined with her guaranteed income, the assets in the beneficiary SIPP are more than sufficient so sustain her lifestyle until her age would be well into three figures. Based on my reading, it appears any drawdown from SIPPs are considered 'income' for gifting purposes, regardless of if they come from capital or income. Therefore she could start to draw more 'income' from the SIPP and gift this surplus which could be considered IHT free. Are there any limits to how much or how quickly she could reasonably drawdown from a SIPP so that it would no longer be considered 'income' by HMRC for IHT purposes? i.e could she empty the SIPP over a 5 yr period, gift that as excess income, then reduce the gifts to reflect a different income and or expenditure? While all the drawdown from SIPPs is considered 'income' for IHT purposes, the treatment of withdrawals from ISAs or other investments are distinguished between whether they are actually capital or income. Therefore, we have the added complication of needing to balance the 'income' drawdown from the beneficiary SIPP to make sure she doesn't eat into 'capital' of the ISAs and savings which would then mean the gifts from regular surplus income would then be considered part of the estate again. Our circumstances mean my mum feels slightly trapped between keeping the SIPP (so it is considered income for gifts from regular income but gets IHT taxed at 67%), continuing to use the beneficiary SIPP to fund ISAs (reduce IHT liability but lose flexibility to gift it as income), maybe change the investment engine of the ISAs from a lower yielding balanced solution to something with a higher natural yield, or do something else altogether (lump sum gifts and hope to survive 3yrs for taper or 7yrs). Any thoughts or suggestion would be appreciated. While there are some relatively niche circumstances, I think it covers two more broadly applicable IHT planning considerations SIPPs v ISAs under the new rules and regular gifts from surplus income. Thanks in advance Stephen   17:06  Question 3 Hi Pete and Roger Thank you both for your continued help in navigating the financial maze and I am enjoying the listener questions. My wife works part time and is a basic rate tax payer. She pays into her workplace pension and contributes an additional 15%. Her pension provider receives 20% tax relief on these contributions. I am a higher rate tax payer and I make contributions to a SIPP. My pension provider receives 20% tax relief and I claim an additional 20% directly from HMRC. As a couple, we could stop making the additional contributions to my wife's pension and instead make them into my SIPP. This would give us an additional 40%, rather than 20%. Mathematically this makes sense. We haven't done this so far, as I like the idea that we are equally contributing to both of our pensions, for the future. It also helps keep things simple. I am mindful that one day, we may kick ourselves for not making this simple switch which may leave us with a significantly bigger pot, when we need it. What options would you consider in this decision of splitting pension contributions. Many thanks, Rob 20:17 Question 4 Dear Pete & Rog, I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for your podcast and the incredibly valuable information you share. Your conversations are not only insightful but also reassuring as I start to think more seriously about my own retirement planning! One of the things I'm considering is retiring abroad (somewhere sunny!) Spain most likely, and I wondered if you might explain the process you go through with such clients. Specifically, do you have a checklist, or a list of key questions, that you typically ask clients to work through before moving overseas? For example, I've learned that ISAs are not recognised in many EU countries (so it may be better to sell before leaving), and I imagine there are similar considerations around SIPPs/UK DC pensions and other investments. Do you also tend to liaise with financial planners or accountants based in the EU when helping clients prepare for such a move? I would be very grateful for any wisdom you could share. Thanks again for all the work you put into the podcast, it really does make a difference. Warm regards, Chloe 24:55  Question 5 Hi Pete, Love the podcast.  Very informative and user friendly. I have a question, once popular but maybe not so much now and one that will make advisers sweat again! I'm a sophisticated investor (so to speak!), I manage my own SIPP etc and I'm an accountant so I guess I have a head start over most people.  I have a net worth excluding my house of circa £2.5m spread across a SIPP, ISA, FIC and GIA. I also have an old DB pension.  I'm 59.  It pays out circa £6,500 from the age of 65.  My dad died aged 63.  Given my circumstances I want to transfer the DB scheme into my SIPP.  I have two children so would like them to get it rather than die with me so to speak.  The last transfer value I got was pre covid at circa £100k which I know isn't a brilliant multiple but I'm happy with that.  I'm fit and healthy but I'm not relying on the guaranteed pension given my other pension provisions. So, firstly is it likely the transfer value would have gone up or down given the increase in interest rates and secondly do you think I could get a positive recommendation from an adviser? Thanks, Oscar 31:35  Question 6 Dear Pete and Roger, Love the podcast. I'm a bit more of an adventurous investor than you usually caution, but you provide a certain "passive-tracker-Yin" to my "property-investment-Yang". Given your backlog I'm going to ask you a pension question that I probably don't have to think about for 20 years, so you have time to get to it. I worked in Denmark for several years and paid into a pension scheme while I was there. I believe it is structured similarly to a UK DB pension scheme. There is an initial lump sum plus an income for life.  This pension fund is not covered by QROPS, so there is no transferring my way out of this complexity. The Danish pension fund thinks I'll be paying Danish income tax (presently 37-38%), Chat GPT is adamant that I'll be paying UK Tax. Who's right? If taxed in the UK I can imagine getting the tax free cash allowance right might be complicated. Is there anything else I should be considering? Best Wishes, James
