What if you could use the energy of anger to create peace instead of conflict? This week on Love University, we explore how to use Anger—one of the most volatile forces in the emotional universe—for healing and empowerment. Often mistaken for strength, irrational anger is actually a form of reactivity that drains your mental energy and damages your relationships. Drawing from his book Invincible You, Dr. Avila offers practical strategies for mastering what he calls the Anger Weakness—the tendency to be consumed by frustration and irritability when you feel blocked from your desires and wishes. Here are two key approaches to shift from anger to empowered calmness: Use grounding and empathy to transmute anger You don't have to suppress your anger—you can learn to redirect it. When you stay physically grounded and emotionally aware, you can turn reactive energy into emotional strength. For example, instead of clenching your fists and raising your voice during a tense conversation, take a slow breath, plant your feet firmly on the ground, and steady your tone. This simple act calms your nervous system and keeps your mind clear; you hold your ground without aggression. In addition, make sure you recognize the humanity in others, even during disagreements. This approach not only protects your serenity—it also deepens your self-control and helps you build stronger, more respectful relationships. Treat anger like a color until it disappears. The true goal isn't to erase anger—it's to transform it. When anger arises, you can choose non-reaction: Feel the fire, but don't fuel it.  Say to yourself, “I'm experiencing a certain color at this moment. Some call it anger, but I see it as a color, for example red.  I will allow myself to momentarily feel its hot intensity, but I won't do anything about it.  I will simply let it pass through me until its fierceness vanishes.” Over time, this emotional mastery over anger builds what Dr. Avila calls the Invincible Mind—a state of calm strength in which you acknowledge emotions without being overpowered by them. From this place of ultimate strength, you will transmute anger into fuel for positive change and upward soul elevation, culminating in the most wonderful of gift of all: Peace.   Learn how to manage anger with clarity, wisdom, and self-mastery.  Also, pick up a copy of Invincible You at https://tinyurl.com/3y3szh27.      

In this Friday Field Notes episode, Ryan Michler delivers a direct and uncompromising message: success never happens by accident. He challenges listeners to confront the ways they may be drifting through life, reacting to circumstances rather than intentionally leading themselves. Ryan explores how comfort, avoidance, and distraction quietly compound into years of lost potential, and contrasts that with the strength and freedom created through discipline, structure, and brotherhood. This episode calls men to choose hardship on purpose, define their standards, and begin taking directional action immediately instead of waiting for motivation to arrive.

Today is day 360 and we are studying the section on Justification and Sanctification: Living in Forgiveness and Healing. 362. Are you still affected by your sin, despite God's forgiveness? Yes. My sinful actions can harm my relationship with God, do lasting damage to others, and leave me conflicted within myself. I live in constant need of Christ's healing grace. (2 Samuel 12:1–23; Psalm 32:1–5; Matthew 15:18–20; Romans 7:15–25; 1 Corinthians 10:1–13; 1 Thessalonians 4:1–8) We will conclude today by praying Prayer 95.

What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! In this episode, I sit down with eating disorder dietitian, educator, and advocate Jessica Setnick for a conversation that cuts straight through food shame, diet culture nonsense, and the idea that you have to be “sick enough” to deserve help. We talk about how disordered eating is often normalized or even admired, why emotional eating is a very human coping tool, and how shame keeps people stuck far longer than food ever does. Jessica shares how her background in anthropology shaped the way she understands eating behavior, why one-size-fits-all nutrition advice causes real harm, and what happens when influencers without credentials try to sell certainty in bodies they do not understand. We also dig into her concept of “healing your inner eater,” which invites curiosity over judgment and helps untangle inherited food rules that were never actually yours to carry. This conversation is a powerful reminder that food is not a moral issue, bodies are not problems to be fixed, and healing begins when we stop shaming ourselves for being human.As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.Bio: Jessica Setnick is the best kind of dietitian – she knows her stuff but doesn't take herself too seriously. Believing that no one should have to feel ashamed to get help with their eating issues, Jessica started her career as an eating disorder dietitian for children and now spends her time training health professionals to better help their patients experiencing eating disorders and advocating with insurance companies to follow the law in covering eating disorder care.Music by Prymary: Sean Entrikin (my hot husband) on guitar, Chris Quirarte on drums, Smiley Sean on keyboards, Rob Young on bass, and Jaxon Duane on vocals.Mentions: Emotional Eating Isn't Weakness.

“Weakness simply means your capacity is lower than what the moment requires.”I recorded this episode in the middle of a full, emotional, end-of-year season. The kind where you want to soak up every moment with your kids, make the holidays meaningful, and still somehow hold it all together… while feeling stretched, tired, and not quite like yourself.And that's exactly why I wanted to talk about weakness.Because what we usually call weakness isn't failure. It isn't a character flaw. And it doesn't mean something is wrong with you as a parent or a human. Most of the time, it simply means the demand of the moment exceeds your current capacity.In this episode, I walk you through how I've learned to understand weakness differently and what actually helps when it shows up, especially during high-demand seasons like the holidays.In this episode, I share:Why weakness tends to surface when life gets full, loud, and emotionalThe reframe that changed everything for me: weakness is about capacity, not characterHow shame turns moments of weakness into yelling, spiraling, shutting down, or controlThe four ways I see parents (and myself) respond to weakness:Projecting it onto our kidsAttacking ourselves with “I should be better”Trying to overpower it with willpowerHiding it and calling it “fine”Why self-attack does not create strength and what it actually does to your nervous systemHow truth and honesty stabilize your body and open the door to growthWhat I do now when I realize my capacity is lower than the moment requiresWhy repair matters more than perfection and what really builds resilience in kidsThe shift I'm inviting you into:Instead of asking yourself, What's wrong with me? Try asking, What support do I need right now?Because capacity can be rebuilt. Regulation can return. And when weakness is met with compassion instead of shame, it often becomes the place where connection deepens and growth begins.What I encourage you to practice this week:Stop running from weakness and get honest about what's happeningReplace criticism with curiosityLead with compassion first because safety is what allows changeDecide what actually needs support, not what needs to be fixedLet go of performance and focus on repair and honesty insteadA question to sit with:Where do you notice weakness showing up for you right now? And what might you need to adjust or ask for so you can show up with more kindness instead of more pressure?You don't need to be strong all the time to be a great parent. You just need to stay honest, keep noticing, and be willing to repair.xoxoAndee :) Learn more here --> https://connectmethodparenting.comNext Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista

What if you could turn regret into wisdom and self-attack into self-love? This week on Love University, we explore how to finally break the grip of regret and live with full freedom and joy. The Regret Weakness is a subtle but persistent thought pattern—the belief that your past defines your future, and that you're somehow unworthy of success, love, or happiness because of previous mistakes and failures.  Regret, unfortunately, can lead to paralysis, low self-worth, and a repeated cycle of poor choices. But when reframed into wisdom and self-acceptance, it can be one of your greatest sources of strength and clarity. Here are three essential takeaways from the episode: Separate mistakes from your identity Regret becomes destructive when it turns into self-definition. It's one thing to acknowledge a mistake—it's another to believe that an error or failure means you're fundamentally flawed. The Regret Weakness thrives on that confusion. Because of what happened in the past, you begin to believe you're “bad at relationships,” “not cut out for success,” or “too damaged to change.” But the truth is, the version of you who made those past decisions no longer exists. Healing begins when you stop dragging your old identity into your present and realize that the new you doesn't need to repeat the cycles of the past. Allow progress without perfection A common regret trap is expecting overnight transformation—then feeling like a failure when old habits resurface. But growth isn't linear. You will have setbacks—what matters is how you interpret them. If you shame yourself for every backward step, you reinforce the very patterns you're trying to break. But when you allow yourself to return, recommit, and realign—without judgment—you build emotional strength. The Regret Weakness loses its power when you understand that healing includes imperfection, and growth encompasses wisdom from lessons learned. Convert regret into learning and hope When regret lingers, it's usually because you haven't yet mined the wisdom from the experience. You're stuck in “If only…” instead of “Next time I will…” That shift—looking forward instead of backward—changes everything. Every painful memory contains valuable knowledge: what mattered to you, what you ignored, what boundary you didn't set. When you uncover that meaning, you create a new imprint—a Loving Memory—where wisdom replaces shame, and acceptance surpasses imperfection. Now regret stops being a chain and becomes a compass to the discovery of your most loving and true self.   The bottom line: Learn how to erase regret and look forward to a glorious and wonderful future.

They're training us.The system no longer needs chains. It only needs your applause for compliance.True strength doesn't announce itself. It doesn't seek likes, hashtags, or approval. It lives in quiet self-command, disciplined choices, and the courage to act without permission.When you feel guilt for refusing to perform weakness… that's the trap working exactly as designed.This episode cuts through the noise: reject the seductive cage of marketed fragility. Choose sovereignty. Reclaim real power.Tomorrow, we go deeper: how comfort, obedience, and false virtue are quietly destroying your nervous system—and what to do about it.If you're tired of the script, this one's for you.#Strength #Sovereignty #CulturalCritique #WakeUp #TrueLifePodcast One on One Video call W/George https://tidycal.com/georgepmonty/60-minute-meetingSupport the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_US

Japan has a “free hand” to take bold action against currency moves that are not in line with fundamentals, Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama said, in her strongest warning yet to speculators following the yen’s weakening even after a rise in interest rates. “The moves were clearly not in line with fundamentals but rather speculative,” Katayama said in an interview with Bloomberg on Monday, referring to a sharp weakening of the yen on Friday. “Against such movements, we have made clear that we will take bold action, as stated in the Japan–US finance ministers’ joint statement,” she said. We heard from Keio University Professor Sayuri Shirai. She spoke to Bloomberg’s Annabelle Droulers and Avril Hong on the Asia Trade. Plus - Bank of America Corp. Chief Executive Officer Brian Moynihan said that artificial intelligence is starting to have a bigger impact on the US economy. For more on the AI trade and what’s ahead for the energy sector for 2026, we spoke to Peter Gardett, CEO of Noreva. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

End of the Year Wrap-Up: Training, Stress, and the Long Game of Self-DefenseThe John Hallett Podcast – 2025 ReflectionAs we close out the year, this episode of The John Hallett Podcast isn't about highlights, hype, or quick wins. It's a hard, honest look at what actually builds real self-defense skill, physical capability, and mental resilience over time — and why most people misunderstand all threeEnd Of The Year Wrap Up The Joh….This conversation moves from belt testing stress to reacting vs responding, fitness mistakes, long-term mindset, and why consistency beats intensity every time.If you train for real life — not sport, trophies, or social media — this episode matters.Training Under Stress Reveals the TruthOne of the recurring themes in this episode is stress testing — specifically belt tests and controlled pressure environments like Throw Down the Gauntlet.Here's the reality:Stress exposes gaps you didn't know you hadFatigue breaks sloppy technique fastYour brain shuts down long before your body doesStudents often know techniques… until stress shows up. Names disappear. Movements degrade. Decision-making collapses. That's not failure — that's informationEnd Of The Year Wrap Up The Joh….This is exactly why pressure testing exists:Not to embarrassNot to punishBut to reveal what still needs repsReacting vs Responding: The Difference That Keeps You AliveA major teaching point in this episode is the difference between reacting and responding under threat.Reacting:Panic-drivenEmotionalAdrenaline hijacks the brainOften sloppy, excessive, or legally dangerousResponding:TrainedIntentionalBuilt through reps and pressureAllows decision-making under chaosKrav Maga uses instinctive movement — but instinct must be refined, not left raw. The goal isn't to erase reactions; it's to shape them into controlled responses through repetition and stress exposureEnd Of The Year Wrap Up The Joh….Why Most People Stall at Intermediate LevelsOne of the blunt truths discussed is how people plateau once they're “not beginners anymore.”This is where ego sneaks in.Intermediate students often:Rush techniquesStop respecting fundamentalsConfuse familiarity with masteryAvoid slow, boring refinementThe reality: You don't outgrow basics — you deepen them.Intermediate belts are closer to white belts than they think. That's not an insult. It's a reminder that real skill takes time, humility, and thousands of reps done correctlyEnd Of The Year Wrap Up The Joh….Fitness Matters — But Only If You Respect the MovementThis episode also hits a nerve in the fitness world.Moving fast doesn't mean training well.Common problems:Sloppy burpeesCollapsing coresRushing repsChasing sweat instead of structureIf you don't respect the movement, you're just practicing dysfunction.Strength, conditioning, and Krav Maga all overlap — but only when movements are intentional. Strong bodies recover better, fight better, and age better. Weakness becomes invisible… until something goes wrongEnd Of The Year Wrap Up The Joh….The 10-Year Reality Nobody Wants to HearOne of the most important — and unpopular — truths in this episode:If you want real self-defense skill, think in decades — not weeks.That scares people. It shouldn't.A year of training will absolutely make you safer. Ten years changes who you are.This isn't about perfection. It's about staying in the game long enough for skill to compoundEnd Of The Year Wrap Up The Joh….Who This Episode Is ForThis episode is for:Self-defense students tired of shortcutsInstructors refining how they teach under stressAdults who want real confidence, not false assuranceAnyone who understands that skill is built, not boughtIf you want honesty instead of hype, this one hits home.

Nehemiah | Week 6 | Be On Guard Against Moral Weakness | Johnny Fielding

Elizabeth Peek analyzes the rise in US unemployment to 4.6%, attributing it partly to increased labor participation rather than economic weakness. She highlights that private sector hiring remains positive while government payrolls shrink, and notes that data center construction for AI is driving a boom in the construction industry. 1900 COLUMBUS IHIO

C Judy Dempsey examines fears that Russia will shift military forces to the NATO border if a Ukraine peace deal is reached. She discusses reported US pressure on Kyiv to surrender the Donbas, noting that both Ukraine and the EU oppose such concessions due to sovereignty concerns and lack of security guarantees. Judy Dempsey addresses the industrial crisis in Germany, specifically the auto industry's struggle against Chinese electric vehicles. She notes that Chancellor Merz is avoiding necessary pension reforms due to political pressure, while the rise of the AfD and a shifting transatlantic relationship further complicate Germany's economic stability. Mary Kissel argues that Ukraine cannot surrender the Donbas without ironclad security guarantees, citing past broken agreements like the Budapest Memorandum. She validates Finnish and Baltic fears regarding Russian aggression and questions whether the Trump administration's business-centric approach can effectively manage Vladimir Putin's ideological brutality. Mary Kissel characterizes China's economy as collapsing under Xi Jinping's mismanagement. She highlights the plight of Jimmy Lai, a 78-year-old British citizen imprisoned in Hong Kong, and urges Western leaders to use economic leverage to demand his release as a prerequisite for any improved relations. Jonathan Schanzer critiques the slow Australian police response to the Bondi Beach attack, linking the shooters to ISIS training in the Philippines. He warns that the Albanese government's political "virtue signaling" regarding Palestine may have emboldened radicals, while noting Hezbollah is reconstituting its money and weapons pipelines in Lebanon. Jonathan Schanzer analyzes the "murky" killing of US servicemen in Syria, attributing it to jihadist elements within the government's security forces. He describes the situation in Gaza as a deadlock where Hamas remains armed because no international force, other than the unacceptable option of Turkey, is willing to intervene. Gregory Copley details how the Bondi Beach attackers trained in the Philippines' insurgent areas. While praising Australian intelligence agencies, he blames the Albanese government for encouraging anti-Israel sentiment, arguing this political stance has given license to radical groups and undermined public safety. Gregory Copley reflects on the 25-year war on terror, arguing that Western governments have become distracted. He contends that elevating terrorists like Bin Laden to "superpower" status was a strategic error, as the true objective of terrorism is to manipulate political narratives and induce paralysis through fear. Gregory Copley observes a 2025 shift toward nationalism and decisive leadership, asserting that globalism is declining. He notes that nuclear weapons are becoming "unusable" due to changing military doctrines and warns that Western democracies are sliding toward autocracy, drawing historical parallels to Oliver Cromwell's rise as Lord Protector. Gregory Copley reports on King Charles III's improving health and his unifying role within the Commonwealth. He contrasts the stability of the constitutional monarchy with the historical chaos of Cromwell's republic, suggesting the Crown remains a vital stabilizing force against political turmoil in the UK and its dominions. Joseph Sternberg challenges the Trump administration's antagonistic view of the EU, citing polls showing the institution remains popular among Europeans. He argues that US policy should not be based on the expectation of the EU's collapse, noting that the UK's exit was unique to its specific history and not a continental trend. Joseph Sternberg condemns the imprisonment of British citizen Jimmy Lai in Hong Kong as a failure of UKdiplomacy. He argues that Hong Kong's economic success cannot be separated from its political freedoms, warning that the erosion of the rule of law threatens the territory's viability as a business center. Joseph Postell discusses the 1983 INS v. Chadha decision, which eliminated the legislative veto. He explains how this ruling stripped Congress of its ability to check the executive branch, transforming a once-dominant legislature into a weak institution unable to reverse administrative decisions on issues like tariffs. Joseph Postell suggests correcting the Chadha precedent by adopting a view of severability where delegations of power are unconstitutional without the accompanying legislative veto. He notes that the War Powers Resolutionremains a rare exception where Congress still retains a mechanism to reverse executive actions via simple majority.

S&P futures are down (0.4%) and pointing to another lower open today. Focus is on the nonfarm payrolls and unemployment figures scheduled to release later today. Asian equities ended Tuesday with sharp losses from Japan and Hong Kong. Technology-oriented benchmarks bore the brunt of the selloff, as concerns over AI valuations and weaker regional currencies weighed heavily on sentiment. Australia, India, and Singapore saw more modest declines, while Southeast Asia outperformed slightly but also ended lower. European markets are narrowly mixed. Weakness in technology stocks and defense contractors is offset by slight gains in financials and consumer staples. Companies Mentioned: Nasdaq, Magnum Ice Cream, Generation Bio

The title says it all: If we want to be strong in the face of all circumstances which life gives us, instead of hiding our weaknesses, we simply admit our weakness before the Lord Jesus Christ, express dependency upon Him, and watch what He can do. Check out this week's podcast for more encouragement from God's word on this subject. 

Hey Tribesmen, Episode 63 is here, and this one is for every man who knows he's capable of more but hasn't been living like it. I sat down with Eli Wininger, IDF Special Forces veteran, ultra-runner, and men's health coach, for a conversation about discipline, purpose, and what it truly means to be a strong Jewish man today. Eli's story is unreal. He grew up in LA, chose to volunteer for the IDF, survived life-and-death moments in Gaza, ran 251 miles for the hostages, and now coaches men into becoming disciplined, capable leaders. But what makes this episode powerful isn't the dramatic stories, it's the clarity: Men don't need more motivation. They need discipline, purpose, and a reason bigger than their excuses. If you've been drifting… inconsistent… or wanting to level up for your wife, kids, and community, this episode is your wake-up call.     What You'll Learn Why discipline builds confidence Motivation fades. Discipline lasts. Eli explains how the IDF builds it, and how any man can start today. How small habits reshape identity Change one habit. Keep one promise. Build one win. That's how men transform.

Align yourself before you start your day. Why porn destroys clarity and intimacy It weakens discipline, distorts reality, and damages connection. Purpose as fuel When Eli almost died in Gaza, he realized he wasn't living with meaning. Purpose changed everything. How to show up when life hits hard The same mindset that got him through the battlefield, and 251 miles, can carry any man through challenges. Why discipline creates safety in marriage Consistency builds security. Security builds intimacy. Why men are struggling mentally today Distraction. No challenge. No brotherhood. Eli breaks down how to rebuild strength of mind.

Natalia Curusi: When Your Technical Expertise Becomes Your Biggest Scrum Master Weakness Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "I thought my technical background was my biggest strength, but I understood that this was my biggest weakness—I was coming into stand-ups saying 'I know how we need to fix that issue,' and I was a Scrum Master." - Natalia Curusi   Natalia stepped into her first blended role as team leader and Scrum Master full of confidence. With years of programming experience behind her, she believed she could guide her team through any technical challenge. But during morning stand-ups, she found herself suggesting solutions, directing technical approaches, and sharing her expertise freely. The team listened—after all, she was their former leader. They implemented her suggestions, but when those solutions failed, the team didn't have the thinking process to adapt them to their context.  Natalia realized she was preventing the team's learning and ownership by taking control away from them. The turning point came when she made a deliberate choice: she selected the most technical person on the team to become the technical authority and committed to never stepping on his feet again. From that moment forward, she focused purely on the Scrum Master role—asking questions, fostering collaboration, and shutting up to listen actively.  Years later, that technical lead followed her to another job, and they remain friends to this day. Natalia learned that her contribution wasn't about giving solutions—it was about keeping the team from losing ownership of their work.   Self-reflection Question: When you attend your team's daily stand-up, are you contributing to collaboration, or is your contribution keeping the team from owning their work?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

PREVIEW — Jeff Bliss — California Gas Prices and Regulatory Constraints. Bliss reports that while national average gasoline prices are declining due to demand weakness and ample supply, California gasoline prices remain persistently elevated, frequently exceeding $5.00 per gallon due to state-specific regulatory frameworks and the systematic closure of petroleum refineries reducing processing capacity. Bliss warns that energy market experts project California gasoline prices could catastrophically escalate to approximately $12.00 per gallon, a devastating potential price increase for a state economy structurally dependent upon private automobile transportation and individual vehicle ownership for employment, commerce, and daily economic activity.

President Trump erupted Thursday in a wild rage on Truth Social in which he appeared to blame pollsters for failing to register his world-historical success. “When will Polls reflect the Greatness of America at this point in time?” he fumed. Notably, this comes just after Democrats scored big wins in the Miami mayoral race and elsewhere, which analysts see as a sign that the Latino vote is shifting hard away from Trump. Not coincidentally, a new poll has Trump's approval on immigration plunging below 40 percent. We talked to William Saletan, staff writer at The Bulwark, about his great new piece on Trump's open agenda of ethnic persecution. We discuss the relationship between Trump's racism and his unpopularity, what the latest GOP losses show about the collapse of the MAGA coalition, what to make of the GOP's open embrace of full-bore ethnonationalism, and why it's (somewhat) heartening that the public is rejecting it so decisively.
