ABOUT THE EPISODE:This solo episode is my attempt to provide answers to the question of why some families see greater change than others when using the CRAFT approach. Drawing on 6+ years of watching hundreds of parents move through this process, some gaining traction, some spinning their wheels, I'm sharing the 10 most common reasons why parents who are 'doing the work' aren't getting the results they want. It's a no-fluff audit of what might be holding you back, and it comes from my heart because there are no more important results to strive for than a healthy family.If you've been at this for a while and feel like things aren't moving in the right direction, this one is for you.You'll hear about:A foundational piece most parents skip without realizing itWhy doing more often backfiresA timing factor that determines whether any skill worksThe fastest path forward when communication has broken downWhy inconsistency isn't a character flawEPISODE RESOURCES:Hopestream Playlists - Start Here PlaylistJennifer Ollis Blomqvist on using Motivational Interviewing, Hopestream episode 306Dr. Emily Kline on using Motivational Interviewing for hard conversations, Hopestream episode 160Using Motivational Interviewing and CRAFT as a double punch effort to create change in your family, Hopestream episode 256CRAFT family resources and providers with Helping Families HelpUsing CRAFT, MI and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy together to help your child, Hopestream episode 260Stages of Change workshopStages of Change downloadable cheat-sheet here Hopestream podcast episode 66 on the Stages of ChangeThis podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityGet our free, 4-video course, Hope Starts Here, and access to our Limited Membership hereLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

Quick SummaryLaura Sinclair shares her journey from corporate marketing to gym ownership to building a thriving online business and community for ambitious mothers. This conversation dives deep into the realities of building a business while raising children, the importance of simplifying your business model, and why you need mentors who actually understand your season of life.In This EpisodeLaura's unconventional path from corporate BMW to gym owner to online entrepreneurThe challenging reality of being a mom entrepreneur (and why you don't get it until you get it)How to simplify your business by focusing on what actually worksThe power of choosing complexity in the right season vs. protecting your energyWhy expectations create more stress than motherhood or business combinedBuilding in-person community through the This Mother Means Business conferenceSetting boundaries that support your life (like no calls before 11 AM)Key TakeawaysYou can't take business advice from people who don't understand your season of life. Childless mentors may give you strategies that are impossible to implement as a mother—seek advice from people who get it.Simplification comes from knowing what works. Track where your last 3-5 clients came from and double down on those channels instead of spreading yourself thin across everything.You can choose complexity—but only in the right season. There are times to simplify and coast, and times to intentionally add complexity for growth. Neither is wrong; it's about alignment with your life.Most stress comes from expectations, not reality. Define what being a "good mom" and "good entrepreneur" means to you, not what society dictates.Community isn't optional—it's essential. Getting out from behind your laptop to connect with other moms in business reminds you why you do what you do.Memorable Quotes"You don't know what it's like to be a mom building a business until you're a mom building a business.""I really do believe that you can have it all. You can't do it all.""Do you wanna come over to my house and do bedtime while I host those calls? Because that's not possible.""Simple was fun, and now it's complexity time. My kids are both in school. I have the time to do it."Resources MentionedWebsite: www.thismothermeansbusiness.comInstagram/Threads: @itslaurasinclalrPodcast: This Mother Means BusinessThe Big Leap by Gay HendricksGreat Callings by Brianna WiestThis Mother Means Business Conference (April 1st, Burlington)This Mother Means Business Podcast (Mondays & Thursdays)Kelsey's Website: KelseyReidl.comKelsey's Instagram: @KelseyReidlKelsey's Podcast: Rain or Shine (350+ episodes featuring Canadian entrepreneurs)About the GuestLaura Sinclair is the founder of This Mother Means Business, a community and brand dedicated to supporting ambitious mothers in entrepreneurship.

What do you do when discouragement shows up halfway through the work?Nehemiah 4 captures a moment many of us know well: progress has been made, momentum is building—and suddenly resistance increases. The ridicule gets louder. The threats feel more real. Fatigue sets in. Fear creeps in.This episode explores what it means to keep building when opposition doesn't disappear.As the wall of Jerusalem rises, so does hostility. Instead of retreating, Nehemiah responds with prayer, strategy, partnership, and courage. The people work with tools in one hand and protection in the other—reminding us that growth and resistance often happen at the same time.If you're rebuilding something in your life—faith, trust, purpose, relationships—this message reminds us that opposition doesn't mean we're off track. It may mean what we're building matters.Key themes include:How discouragement worksThe power of partnershipPraying while planningPushing through the halfway pointRefusing to let fear dictate your futureScripture Focus: Nehemiah 400:00 When Opposition Gets Loud01:03 Nehemiah 4 Overview02:58 Threats and Defense Plan07:39 Words That Wound13:35 Prayer as the Response17:53 Pressing On Through Fear20:32 Weariness at the Halfway Point25:08 Rejecting Lies27:22 Workers and Warriors29:33 The Trumpet Call31:37 Lessons from Nehemiah33:36 The Rebuilt Wall

Under this luminous Full Moon in Leo on February 1st, we're invited to return to a deeper, truer experience of self-love — not as something we earn or perform, but as something we emanate.This episode explores love as a living, embodied frequency rather than an act of self-sacrifice. With Venus traveling through Aquarius, a powerful reframe comes online:My love is liberation.Together, Leo and Aquarius remind us that joy is not the reward for giving — it is the source from which authentic love flows.In this episode, we explore:How so many women were conditioned to equate love with depletionWhy midlife often marks a sacred turning point where over-giving no longer worksThe heart and breasts as powerful, energetic centers of embodied loveWhy eros and pleasure are essential nutrients for a radiant, spacious heartHow ancient priestess wisdom honored sensuality as sacred powerA gentle, fully PG Tantric breast and heart meditation to reconnect you to your inner sourceWhen eros, heart, and pleasure are integrated, love becomes expansive rather than draining — a natural offering rather than a sacrifice.This Full Moon is not asking you to shine harder. It's asking you to shine freer.
Why does being visible feel easy some years and impossible others? It's not willpower – it's your progressed Moon.In this episode, I'm breaking down secondary progressions – the astrological technique that reveals your natural 2-3 year business cycles. If you've ever felt "behind" or wondered why you suddenly want to retreat (or finally step into the spotlight), this will explain everything.What you'll learn:What secondary progressions are and how they work (using a day-for-a-year system to track your evolution)The two layers of progression timing: which house your progressed Moon is in AND what phase it's in relative to your progressed SunVisibility houses vs retreat houses – and why forcing visibility during a 12th house progression never worksThe progressed lunation cycle: from New Moon (planting seeds) to Full Moon (maximum visibility) and back againHow to work with both layers when they're giving you conflicting signalsReal example from my own chart: what it looks like to be in a 12th house retreat while in a 1st Quarter building phasePractical steps to find your own progression timeline and use it for business planningThis is Episode 3 of my 4-part series on Business Timing.

Zak Mir caught up with Howard White, Chairman of Hydrogen Utopia, to discuss the company's strategy and progress in the fast-evolving hydrogen and clean energy space.The company pioneering leader in converting non-recyclable mixed waste plastics, tyres, and hazardous waste materials into hydrogen and carbon-free fuels, announces the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Saudi Investment Recycling Company (“SIRC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Public Investment Fund of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.A practical route from waste plastics to sustainable aviation fuelHydrogen Utopia has taken a major step forward with a signed Memorandum of Understanding with the Saudi Investment Recycling Company (SIRC), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. The agreement frames a clear industrial pathway: convert non-recyclable mixed waste plastics, tyres and hazardous wastes into syngas, turn that syngas into hydrogen, and then use a Fischer-Tropsch route to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).Why this mattersSeveral factors make this announcement strategically important. First, the technology that Hydrogen Utopia deploys is already commercial at scale in the United States and elsewhere, removing the usual "pilot" uncertainty. Second, the supply chain in Saudi Arabia and the backing of state investment structures create a rapid route to large-scale deployment. Third, SAF is set to be in structural shortage for years as regulations and airline decarbonisation commitments push demand far ahead of current supply.There will be a shortage of SAF for the next 20 or 30 years. How the process worksThe core steps are straightforward: Feedstock: non-recyclable mixed plastics, tyres, hazardous wastes and potentially landfill-mined material. Thermal conversion: Hydrogen Utopia's melter system produces a very clean syngas stream. Hydrogen production: the syngas is used to extract hydrogen and a carbon monoxide stream suitable for downstream synthesis. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis: CO and hydrogen are converted into long-chain hydrocarbons which are upgraded to kerosene-grade SAF. A critical technical advantage is the exceptionally clean syngas produced by the melter. Cleaner gas reduces catalyst contamination in the Fischer-Tropsch process, which is a 70-year proven pathway to synthetic fuels and a preferred industrial route for high-quality SAF.Saudi support and Vision 2030 alignmentThe project sits squarely within Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 ambitions: reducing waste, building new domestic industries and diversifying the economy. The level of enthusiasm reported from government ministries, local supply chain partners and state investment vehicles stands in contrast to the slower, more cautious approach seen in many European markets.Hydrogen Utopia emphasises that Saudi stakeholders are motivated not only by commercial returns but by national development goals. That outlook has translated into rapid progression from initial discussions to a greenlight for project development by the Public Investment Fund.Commercial and financial outlookThe project team is building a business model during Ramadan with an expected internal rate of return close to 20% once finalised. Funding interest appears strong: in addition to PIF/SIRC engagement, multiple family offices and other agencies have signalled readiness to contribute to an estimated project capital requirement in the hundreds of millions of dollars.SAF typically carries a significant premium to conventional Jet A1 because of constrained supply and rising regulatory demand. Hydrogen Utopia targets a competitive production cost with a headline figure in the region of $200 per barrel, which would place the output among the cheaper SAF options globally.Scale, locations and feedstock securityPractical deployment options are flexible. The chairman highlighted potential sites such as Jubail, which has suitable infrastructure. Importantly, feedstock is abundant: municipal waste streams, tyres, and legacy landfills can be tapped. Saudi authorities have even discussed the possibility of landfill mining to supply material, which would both unlock feedstock and remediate old disposal sites.The technology does not require brand-new, high-specification industrial customers. That means the solution can be exported and deployed across a wide range of countries, including developing markets that need affordable, fundable projects. The combination of a strong project IRR and state backing makes third-party financing more straightforward.Market access and offtakeOfftake discussions are already feasible: PIF owns aircraft leasing and airline interests that could naturally absorb SAF volumes. Meanwhile, global aviation mandates are rising, with regulators in the EU, UK and elsewhere moving to require increasing shares of SAF in jet fuel. That regulatory tailwind is a major driver for long-term demand and supports the project's commercial case.Why Hydrogen Utopia stands out Proven commercial pedigree — existing operational plants and a TRL9 classification reduce technical risk. Feedstock diversity — not dependent on limited biofeedstocks that constrain other SAF routes. Strategic partners — backing and interest from sovereign investment, local ministries and private capital. Exportable model — design and economics that can be replicated across the GCC and beyond. Risks and considerationsEvery industrial roll-out faces typical hurdles: final engineering design, securing long-term offtake contracts, refining plant siting and permits, and managing construction and operations. Market pricing of SAF will remain volatile as policy, feedstock availability and competing technologies evolve. That said, strong state support and an existing commercial track record materially lower execution risk.Where this could leadThe combination of large-scale feedstock, clean syngas chemistry, an established Fischer-Tropsch route and committed capital creates a near-term pathway to SAF production at scale. If the project secures final approvals and funding as anticipated, it could become a replicable model for tackling global plastic waste while supplying a growing, high-value low-carbon fuel market.Final noteConverting hard-to-recycle wastes into hydrogen and SAF is not only a strong climate and waste-management play. It is also a commercially sensible route that leverages industrial chemistry proven for decades. With strategic support and clear demand signals from aviation regulators, the coming years could see rapid scaling of projects that turn environmental liabilities into high-value, decarbonised fuels.
In this Faith Talks episode, Anna Faith is joined by her husband Jonathan “Boogie” Fuller to explore how faith grows not only by looking ahead, but by intentionally looking back. Drawing from Scripture and personal experience, they explain how remembering God's past faithfulness strengthens trust in Him for the present and future.

Have you been told that slow motility is the reason you're constipated, bloated, or dealing with digestive issues that just won't resolve?Have you tried to “treat” slow motility — with supplements, laxatives, diets, or protocols — only to find that nothing actually sticks?Or maybe you haven't been formally diagnosed, but all signs seem to point to slow digestion, sluggish bowels, or food just not moving the way it should.If any of that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.Today we're continuing the Real Root Cause Series, where I'm taking conditions that are commonly labeled as root causes — and breaking down to you what their REAL root causes are. This is super powerful because understanding a fake vs. real root cause is the difference between finding healing from your symptoms... or not.Today's topic is: slow motility.Slow motility is a common diagnosis I hear clients get from a doctor who explains that "slow motility" is why they have constipation, acid reflux, bloating, or some other digestive issue. The solution to slow motility, according to the doctor, is usually either "get used to it", surgery (when motility is bad enough), or a merry-go-round of supplements or medications designed to help "slow motility" (but that don't really help relieve your symptoms).The reason these methods don't really help slow motility is because slow motility is NOT a root cause.

Have you been told that slow motility is the reason you're constipated, bloated, or dealing with digestive issues that just won't resolve?Have you tried to “treat” slow motility — with supplements, laxatives, diets, or protocols — only to find that nothing actually sticks?Or maybe you haven't been formally diagnosed, but all signs seem to point to slow digestion, sluggish bowels, or food just not moving the way it should.If any of that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.Today we're continuing the Real Root Cause Series, where I'm taking conditions that are commonly labeled as root causes — and breaking down to you what their REAL root causes are. This is super powerful because understanding a fake vs. real root cause is the difference between finding healing from your symptoms... or not.Today's topic is: slow motility.Slow motility is a common diagnosis I hear clients get from a doctor who explains that "slow motility" is why they have constipation, acid reflux, bloating, or some other digestive issue. The solution to slow motility, according to the doctor, is usually either "get used to it", surgery (when motility is bad enough), or a merry-go-round of supplements or medications designed to help "slow motility" (but that don't really help relieve your symptoms).The reason these methods don't really help slow motility is because slow motility is NOT a root cause. It's being CAUSED by something else!That's why, on today's episode, I'm breaking down:Why treating slow gut motility with supplements or medications rarely worksThe real causes of slow gut motilityHow to test for these root causes of low motilityAnd what actually needs to be addressed for motility to return naturallyIf you're ready to stop chasing new and different supplements or simply feeling like a victim to the rate your body decided to digest at - then this episode is for you.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Introduction to Slow Motility 00:34 - Understanding Real Root Causes 01:00 - Common Misdiagnoses and Misconceptions 02:01 - Welcome to the Better Belly Podcast 03:10 - Deep Dive into Slow Motility 07:46 - Symptoms and Related Conditions 09:04 - Root Causes of Slow Motility 13:43 - Digestive Enzymes and Their Importance 17:34 - Visceral Adhesions Explained 20:32 - Understanding Myofascial and Visceral Adhesions 21:44 - Finding a Qualified Practitioner for Visceral Manipulation 22:32 - Self-Evaluation Techniques for Visceral Adhesions 23:21 - The Role of the Vagus Nerve in Motility 25:35 - Mold and Its Impact on Gut Health 27:56 - Other Pathogens Affecting Gut Motility 29:34 - Nutrient Deficiencies and Constipation 31:04 - Food Sensitivities and Inflammation 32:41 - Thyroid Issues and Slow Motility 34:49 - Comprehensive Testing and Protocols 38:13 - Conclusion and Next StepsEPISODES MENTIONED:235// SIBO Symptoms, SIBO Testing, and Why SIBO Treatments Fail

Send us a textIn this episode of the Gotta Be Saints Podcast, I sit down with Dr. George Delgado, a family physician and one of the pioneers of abortion pill reversal (APR), to talk about the science, the stories, and the hope behind a medical protocol that gives women a second chance after beginning a chemical abortion.Dr. Delgado is the founder of the Abortion Pill Reversal Network and the author of Abortion Pill Reversal: A Second Chance at Choice. As chemical abortions now account for the majority of abortions in the United States, APR has become an increasingly urgent and misunderstood topic. This conversation walks through what APR actually is, how it works medically, why it is opposed by powerful institutions, and what's at stake for women and children.Most importantly, this episode centers the human reality: women who regret their decision, reach out for help, and discover that it is not too late.In This Episode, We DiscussWhat a chemical (medication) abortion is and how it worksThe role of progesterone in sustaining pregnancyHow abortion pill reversal works medically and why it makes sense biologicallyWhy regret often sets in immediately after taking the first abortion pillCommon misconceptions about APR and what the peer-reviewed evidence actually showsClaims that APR is “unproven” or “dangerous” and how the data respondsThe growing risks of telehealth and mail-order abortionsWhy abortion pill reversal threatens the abortion industry's narrativeHow APR can be a redemptive turning point in a woman's lifeWhy APR may be the “tip of the spear” in the pro-life movement todayWhat needs to change in medicine, policy, and public awareness going forwardAbout the GuestDr. George Delgado is a family physician based in California and one of the earliest doctors to develop and study abortion pill reversal. He has published multiple peer-reviewed studies on APR and founded the Steno Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to education, awareness, and research around abortion pill reversal. The Institute is named after Blessed Nicholas Steno, a physician and Catholic convert.Get the Book
In this episode of Shoulders Down Podcast, Leah talks with therapist and certified intuitive eating counselor, Libby Supan, about her 15 years in Overeaters Anonymous (OA) — and why she ultimately believes the program worsened her eating disorder rather than healed it.Libby shares how OA's abstinence-based model, the idea of food and sugar addiction, and rigid sponsorship dynamics fueled binge eating, shame, and co-dependency. Together, Leah and Libby unpack the concept of “fat serenity,” the fatphobia embedded in the OA ethos, and why abstinence backfires.Libby also explains how eating disorder treatment and intuitive eating helped her rebuild trust with her body, move away from restriction, and find a more sustainable path to recovery.You'll hear about:What Overeaters Anonymous (OA) is and how it worksThe link between abstinence, restriction, and binge eatingWhy the Food addiction model is inherently flawedSponsorship, power dynamics, and co-dependency in OA“Fat serenity” & fatphobia in the OA communityHow Libby left OA after 15 years and found true healing Mentioned in the episode:https://leahkernrd.com/are-you-addicted-to-sugar/More From Libby:Website: https://www.libbysupan.com/More From Leah:
As we start a new year, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by our wardrobe, sales everywhere, trends shouting at us, and that familiar feeling of having “nothing to wear.”This episode is about pressing pause and approaching your wardrobe with positivity, clarity and ease.Rather than focusing on what you don't have, I'm sharing five simple ways to feel good about what's already in your wardrobe, how to shop without pressure, and how to move forward confidently, without the stress.In this episode, we cover:1. Start with appreciation, not criticismYour wardrobe reflects different seasons of your life. Instead of judging it, begin by appreciating what's served you well and what still makes you feel confident.2. Focus on what already worksThe outfits you reach for most are giving you valuable clues about your personal style. When you understand what works, everything becomes easier.3. The shops are full, so there's no rushThere's no need to panic-buy or keep up with every trend. Shopping with clarity always feels better than shopping with pressure.4. Create calm with simple outfit formulasPositivity comes from reducing decisions. Go-to outfits and reliable combinations bring ease and confidence to everyday dressing.5. Dress for the woman you are nowYour wardrobe should support your current lifestyle, confidence and priorities, not who you used to be.Final thoughtA positive wardrobe reset doesn't mean starting again.It means reconnecting with who you are now and creating clarity, confidence and ease through what you wear.If your wardrobe feels overwhelming, that's often a sign you've evolved and it may simply need a fresh perspective.About the HostWorking with personal clients, Lisa is passionate to inspire & empower ambitious women to have a wardrobe that gives them the confidence & self belief to achieve & reach their goals whilst reflecting their personal brand.Lisa has contributed to editorials such as The Guardian, Times, Daily Mail, The Sun, Daily Express works as the Style expert for BBC & Heart Radio throughout the UK.

In this episode of The Defiant Podcast, Uniswap founder Hayden Adams joins us right as the UNIfication (Unification) proposal has moved to a final governance vote—a sweeping plan from Uniswap Labs + the Uniswap Foundation that would activate protocol fees, introduce a programmatic UNI burn, and realign how value accrues across the Uniswap ecosystem. We go deep on what's actually inside the proposal (and what isn't), why this moment feels like the end of one DeFi era and the start of another, and how years of “regulation by enforcement” shaped Uniswap's product decisions—down to Hayden's firsthand experience with debanking, legal pressure, and the chilling effect on builders. What we coverWhy UNIfication is being pitched as a once-in-a-cycle reset for UniswapThe real mechanics of the fee switch(es) (plural) and how the “token jar” burn design worksThe perceived tension between UNI token holders vs. equity/VC value capture and whether this vote changes thatWhy Uniswap wants to shift from “best frontend” to protocol-first infrastructure (APIs, ecosystem engineering, aggregator hooks)How Unichain fits into the broader strategy—and what “near-free trading” could mean in practiceGovernance backlash: is Uniswap becoming more centralized or more decentralized?Context: the vote is live! Hayden shared that the UNIfication proposal is now in the final governance vote stage.Subscribe for more founder-level conversations at the intersection of DeFi, regulation, and market structure.

What I suspect is true for you is what I'm hearing from a lot of my clients – there's just too much noise in the world. And more and more, we want to be able to focus on the essentials of what's going to work. When we're talking advocacy, there are two essential ingredients. If you don't have those two fully dialed in, your results are going to be disappointing. You'll keep finding yourself in that place where the decisionmaker doesn't fully get what you do. And because they don't fully get what you do, and don't understand the complexity of the problem you solve, they also can't correctly value the worth of the work that you do and the transformational outcomes you create in the lives of the people you serve. So we've gotta get them to get it. That's the bottom line. Those two critical ingredients for making that happen? If either one of them is not fully dialed in, chances are they're still not going to get it. I want to help you get those two critical ingredients dialed in and working for you. To get the results you want every time you engage a decision maker. In this episode, I'm sharing:· The three reasons behind decisionmakers not “getting it” about the value of your workThe top three things you need to do with your messaging to make sure decisionmakers do “get it”Why persuasion almost never worksThe key element Nonprofits often leave out of their messaging, that is costing them a ton of influence with decisionmakersThe five core principles of successful engagementThe multiplier effect of learning a full set of messaging and engagement skillsWhy the techniques that feel most uncomfortable are the ones you should work hardest to master Ready to take your messaging and engagement skills to the next level?

Introduction The doctrine of unconditional election, as presented in the Canons of Dort, is often misunderstood as unfair. However, the Canons argue that it is a loving doctrine because it guarantees the fulfillment of God's redemptive decree, ensuring that His people will enter His rest despite our rebellion.Election by Grace The Canons of Dort affirm that God's election is a gracious choice made before the foundation of the world, not based on human merit. This doctrine emphasizes God's sovereignty and mercy, highlighting that humanity's fall into sin was a result of humanities' own rebellion. The Canons also underscore the significance of God's means, such as His Word and Spirit, in drawing individuals to Himself.RC Sproul pointed out that there are four possible options for God's plan of salvation: no salvation, sending Christ without guaranteeing faith, ensuring salvation for some, or ensuring salvation for all. The most gracious options are ensuring salvation for some or all. In Romans 9 Paul addresses the issue of Israel's election and the inclusion of Gentiles in the church. God's election is based on His mercy alone, his good will, and not on human merit or actions.Election without our worksThe doctrine of reprobation, as explained in the canons, asserts that God's election is not based on foreseen faith or human merit. Instead, it is a sovereign act of God's grace, where He chooses some for salvation while passing over others. This is exemplified in the biblical story of Jacob and Esau, where God's choice of Jacob is not based on Esau's perceived unworthiness, but on His own sovereign will.Romans 9 explores the complex relationship between Jacob and Esau, highlighting their differing attitudes towards God's promises. Esau, representing the reprobate, is indifferent to spiritual matters, while Jacob, though zealous for God's promises, relies on his own schemes rather than God's timing. Jacob learns through his limp that God establishes his purposes. It is not based on the man who works. It is based on God's mercy. Our works flow from our election and the Spirit's work. We need to remember that God's election is not cruel, as He allows reprobates to pursue their desires, while the elect, maybe sometimes concerned about their standing, need to realize that the reson we cear is the Spirit's work in us. So believe and live! ConclusionGod is not cruel in His doctrine of election. We need to remember that He allows reprobates to continue on their chosen path, while showing mercy to the elect. The elect, unlike the reprobate, care about Christ and their salvation, which is guaranteed by God's elective purpose and mercy. There is a great comfort in this in our seasons of doubt. If we wonder if we are the reprobate we ought to realize that Esau never cared about that status. He only cared about the earthly standing. Let us proceed in the confidence of Christ. Let us proceed in his mercy. Let us live unto him and die to self as our life and strength are only found in him.

This week on Think Thursday, we're exploring an idea that turns conventional wisdom on its head: defensive pessimism. While it may sound like a negative mindset, it's actually a powerful, evidence-based cognitive strategy that helps anxious or overthinking brains perform better, reduce stress, and follow through on goals more effectively.Defensive pessimism isn't about catastrophizing or giving up. It's about anticipating obstacles and using those thoughts to prepare instead of panic.

What if everything you've been doing to become a better parent has been backwards?In this raw, real episode, I share a powerful revelation from my kitchen reorganization weekend (and a real-time call from my sick daughter) that changes everything about how we approach parenting goals.You'll discover why your to-do lists and behavior strategies keep falling short—and the inside-out approach that actually creates lasting change.The Do-Have-Be Trap:The exhausting cycle of trying to prove you're a good mom through productivityWhy "if I just get the routine right, THEN I'll be patient" never worksThe moment I realized the equation was completely backwardsWhat BE Goals Actually Are:Goals that don't depend on your life being perfectStarting from identity instead of behaviorWho you're BEING while cleaning the kitchen, when nobody notices, when your kids don't listenThe 4-Step Assumption Method:Step 1 - I AM It Claim your new identity NOW. "I am a calm, connected parent." Your nervous system listens to every "I am" statement you make.Step 2 - FEEL It Emotionally embody the state in your body. Your nervous system responds to emotions, not words. Spend 2-3 minutes feeling how you'd feel if this identity were already true.Step 3 - REVISE It Reimagine past moments that contradict your new identity. Instead of replaying them in guilt, replay them differently to create new neural pathways.Step 4 - LIVE It Make daily choices as if you're already that person. Drop the timeline. Assume it's inevitable and let reality catch up.Create Your First BE Goal:Thought Download: Write everything you want to do or create as a parent (10 minutes)Circle Your Top 3: What matters most right now?Pick ONE: Just one focus for the next 90 daysName Your Identity: "I am the kind of person who..."Your Daily Practice:Morning: Say your "I Am" statement out loud, feel it in your bodyThroughout the day: Notice when you remember your BE goalNight: Revise one moment—replay it how you wish it had goneReflect on This:Who do you want to BE when your child is melting down?Who do you want to BE when nobody notices what you did?Who do you want to BE for yourself when life refuses to cooperate?Your answers to these questions are your BE goals.You don't need to do your way into better parenting. You don't need more strategies or hacks. You need to start BEING the parent you want to be right now—today. Before your kids change, before circumstances improve, before anything looks different.Be → Do → HaveThat's the new formula. That's how change sticks.This week, pick ONE BE goal. Write it down. Say it out loud. Feel it like your life depends on it. Live it the best you can. Watch what happens.If you loved this episode, please subscribe and leave a review!

Men and the Myths of Sex with Dr. Eric FitzMedrud | ManKind PodcastWhat if our hunger for sex is really a hunger for connection?In this episode, Boysen Hodgson sits down with Dr. Eric FitzMedrud, therapist, educator, and author of The Better Man, to explore the emotional roots of modern male sexuality—and how many men are seeking healing in the wrong places.From navigating rejection to redefining consent, Eric offers a grounded, compassionate roadmap for men who want to move beyond shame, loneliness, and entitlement—and into deeper, more meaningful connection.Together, they explore the intersection of men's work, emotional maturity, and sexual healing in a culture that rarely supports any of it.
It's been five years since Wendy Covey, CEO and Co-Founder of TREW Marketing, and Joe Sullivan, Founder of Gorilla 76, first joined Manufacturing Happy Hour, back when everyone was scrambling to figure out digital marketing during the pandemic.We sit down with them to explore which marketing fundamentals still deliver results and what new tactics manufacturers can't afford to ignore. The core truth hasn't changed: your best content still comes from extracting knowledge from industry experts. But where that content needs to live? That's completely different.PR is making a comeback, or as Wendy calls it, “the second coming of PR” while Joe shares how manufacturers can build knowledge bases from existing content to feed AI tools the right way.Both agree that becoming the best resource for your audience beats trying to game the system every time. And with showing up in ChatGPT becoming both more important and more challenging, manufacturers need to think beyond their own websites to build credibility across digital platforms.In this episode, find out:Why the best content still comes from extracting knowledge from industry expertsWhich timeless marketing strategies still deliver resultsThe surprising resurgence of PR and why engineers are starting to trust it more than everHow showing up in ChatGPT is getting harder, and what actually worksThe patience problem among industrial marketers and why ROI questions after 3 months miss the pointHow manufacturers are successfully using community-driven marketingWhat to look forward to at the Industrial Marketing Summit 2026 and why attendees keep coming backEnjoying the show?

So it's still the idea of being a topical authority, but you can't just do it on your website. You need to be a topical authority in industry publications, Reddit, YouTube, and all these other sources.” - Wendy Covey“Whether it's Google or ChatGPT, they're trying to display the best information and the most helpful possible information. It's just getting packaged up differently. And how do you make sure you're part of what shows up? You build credibility for yourself.” - Joe Sullivan“A lot of digital strategies have evolved but are still tried and true. So that's educating your audience, and publishing content on a regular cadence. Knowing your audience and building a strong value proposition that speaks to their pain points.” - Wendy CoveyLinks & mentions:Industrial Marketing Summit 2026, an annual three-day gathering where manufacturing and industrial marketers connect to share practical insights, learn emerging strategies, and build community with peers facing similar challengesTREW Marketing, partners with B2B technical companies to establish strong marketing foundations, create engaging content strategies, and accelerate growth through research-backed campaigns tailored for engineering audiencesGorilla 76, an industrial marketing agency that helps B2B companies in the manufacturing ecosystem grow through outcome-focused marketing programs built specifically for industrial markets Make sure to visit
