Today, let's journey through the realms of neuroscience, addiction research, and the promising future of treatment strategies for substance use disorders. On this episode, Duane speaks with Dr. Paul Kenny, a distinguished figure in neuroscience and addiction research. He unravels his research on signaling cascades in rodents' brains, providing fascinating insights into addiction-like behaviors. The discussion turns engaging as Paul illuminates his groundbreaking work with certain treatments and their potential role in addressing cravings and motivation in substance use disorders is nothing short of fascinating. They also steer the conversation towards an area often overlooked, which is the relationship between drugs, addiction, and satiety. Paul dissects how potent drugs like cocaine and heroin trigger extreme pleasure and consequently, substance use disorders. He shares his insights into how the satisfaction derived from drug use and the ritualistic patterns of drug consumption could be altered to reduce dependence. This episode sheds light on the promising field of addiction research and the need to raise public awareness of the issue. This is a testament to the incredible work being done by Cure Addiction Now. By understanding the brain's role in addiction, we can potentially change the way we approach substance use disorders and find innovative ways to help those struggling with addiction.In this episode, you will hear:Groundbreaking research on addiction treatmentExploring medications to control cravings and motivationDrugs, addiction, and satiety relationshipGLP-1 enhancers and their potential to treat drug addictionExploring GLP-1 modulators for addiction treatmentAbout Cure Addiction NowFollow and Review:We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

For single retirees, Social Security isn't just another filing decision. It's the foundation of the entire retirement income plan. In this episode, we explain why claiming decisions matter more when there's no spouse, no survivor benefit, and no backup income stream. We walk through the four filters we use with single clients, including prior marriages, life expectancy, retirement income needs, and the tradeoffs between delaying Social Security and drawing from investment assets. We also discuss the emotional side of these decisions—fear of running out of money, fear of dying too early, and the pressure of making irreversible choices alone. This episode isn't about finding the "perfect" strategy. It's about building a plan you can stick with, even when markets and assumptions don't cooperate. Although this show does not provide specific tax, legal, or financial advice, you can engage Devin or John through their individual firms.

It's the end of January, and Jill is here to pause the momentum of her current New Year series to offer something a little bit different – an invitation to stop and ask for help. After weeks of reflecting on 2025, easing into 2026, and clearing physical and emotional clutter, Jill introduces a "pattern interrupt" or a week devoted not to doing more but rather to opening ourselves to guidance from whatever each of us understands as infinite love, source energy, God, or support beyond ourselves. Jill highlights that every person has a sovereign relationship with their own form of guidance and that the language which we use is far less important than the willingness to ask. Jill also shares how reading the book Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe unexpectedly unlocked a shift for her, not by teaching her anything new but by affirming a way of living that she already takes on: being receptive to messages via everyday experiences, strangers, nature, and intuition. She reflects on the difference between trusting intuition and constantly seeking external validation and how she previously believed that she didn't need "signs" because she trusted her intuition. She shares, however, her surprise at having realized that asking for specific, clear signs isn't about doubt or testing the universe but rather about play, curiosity, and expanding our relationship with guidance from the universe. Jill explores reasons why so many of us miss signs even when they're right in front of us (stress, disconnection, nervous system overload, and lack of trust), and she offers some practical ways to create the right conditions for receiving guidance whether through journaling, quiet time, prayer, or simply being more present. This episode of the podcast is sure to set the tone for what's coming next in the series: releasing what no longer fits, naming what we're done with, and making room for what we truly want for 2026! Show Notes: [1:28] - Jill asks listeners to rate and review the podcast because it helps others find it. [3:06] - At January's end, Jill feels proud of the podcast and credits her commitment to it, not the message. [5:30] - Jill encourages listeners to name what we want and release what we won't carry. [8:25] - Together, we clear clutter, voice what we're done with, then call in our desires. [10:17] - Jill asks listeners to pause and seek guidance without rigid spiritual labels. [13:21] - Jill shares how signs affirmed her spirituality, though guidance feels different now that she is away from nature. [16:09] - Hear how the book Signs showed Jill that guidance doesn't always require learning anything new. [19:17] - Jill realized that she could ask directly for specific signs instead of relying solely on intuition. [22:38] - After asking for signs about her grandson, Jill received immediate, unmistakable confirmations made entirely of rocks. [26:07] - Jill explains that seeing signs requires nervous system regulation, trust, and creating conditions that support intuitive awareness. [29:09] - This pause invites playful openness to guidance, which Jill believes is always available to us. [31:57] - Here is to 2026!

Leverage Your Incredible Factor Business Podcast with Darnyelle Jervey Harmon, MBA
“A slow season in the market doesn't mean your purpose is paused. It means your leadership is being refined.” — Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon This episode is powered by The Ascension Archetype Quiz. When the market feels unpredictable, many CEOs misdiagnose the problem. They think they need a new funnel, a new hire, or a new niche—but what they really need is a new frequency. If you've been pivoting out of panic, tightening your offers, or questioning your calling, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. You'll learn why external instability always surfaces internal misalignment—and why your next breakthrough won't come from reacting faster, but from regulating deeper. We'll explore the difference between reactive leadership and resonant leadership, and how to lead from the truth of who you are when the world around you is moving too fast to catch your breath. If you've been feeling like growth is slowing, clients are hesitating, and your old playbook isn't landing the way it used to, this conversation will reorient you. We are not in a "figure it out and force it" economy. We are in a “be it and embody it” era—and this episode unlocks the exact calibration high-level entrepreneurs must make to stay relevant, safe, and successful as the external landscape continues to change. This isn't about tactics. It's about leadership identity, soul leadership, and how to stay in integrity with your mission even when the market doesn't respond how you expect. The most dangerous thing a 7-figure CEO can do right now? Keep leading like it's 2021. Here's the truth: The real gap isn't in your strategy—it's in your state. Market uncertainty isn't a threat. It's a mirror. And what it's reflecting back is the need for a new way of leading—one that integrates your divine design, not overrides it. If you're looking for a permission slip to slow down, realign, and lead powerfully, this is it. You'll walk with he clarity to stop chasing “what's working” and start becoming the kind of leader who transcends market cycles. You'll understand how to lead with presence, why your personal alignment matters more than ever, and how to shift from reactive fear to embodied faith. Grab your Move to Millions Podcast Notebook, a pen and your favorite beverage and listen in to discover: ✔ How to lead in a market that no longer rewards performance-based leadership ✔ How to shift from reactive offers to spiritually-aligned client attraction ✔ How to discern if your slowdown is divine strategy or fear in disguise ✔And so much more This episode is a call to Legacy-Led CEOs who have begun doubting themselves because the market isn't behaving. If you've internalized the slowdown, if you've lost confidence in your message or your momentum, this episode reaffirms your spiritual authority in the business space. You are not failing—the market is evolving. And you get to evolve with it, from alignment, not anxiety. This is your invitation to stop trying to control the market and start understanding what it's revealing. Listen in to reconnect with your inner compass, realign your leadership, and rise above the noise with spiritual strategy and embodied presence. Because scaling in this season isn't about doing more—it's about being more anchored.

It just called you higher.” “The way you hold leadership in uncertainty determines how long you stay in it.” “Just because the external is unclear doesn't mean your internal has to be.” “You don't need to respond to pressure with panic. You can respond with presence.” “Your clients don't need a new offer. They need a more regulated you.” Questions to Ask Yourself While Listening: Where have I been adjusting my strategy out of fear instead of faith? What parts of my leadership identity are out of sync with how I'm showing up? How is the market's volatility triggering my internal instability? What am I making this season mean about me? What would change if I trusted that this slowdown is a sacred setup? Want more of Darnyelle?

Nicole and Diana open the episode by discussing what they are currently working on, including their projects for the 14-day challenge. They then turn to the challenge of family history research when conflicting dates appear for an ancestor. Diana explains that because original records may not exist, genealogists must rely on sources created later in a person's life, which often do not agree. Diana uses a case study of her relative, Mary Elizabeth (Royston) Slagle, to show how to analyze and correlate evidence to find the most accurate birth date. They examine numerous records for Mary, starting with several U.S. census records from 1840 to 1910, which provide conflicting birth years. They discuss the value of the marriage bond for Mary's 1855 marriage to Joseph Slagle, analyzing why her father acting as surety does not prove she was underage in this specific Alabama instance. Finally, they look at conflicting death records—a newspaper obituary, death certificate, and gravestone—which offer yet more dates. By correlating all the evidence, including Thomas Beverly Royston's residency and land records, Diana concludes that the most reliable birth date is May 4, 1835, in DeKalb County, Alabama. Listeners learn to carefully analyze each piece of evidence, its informant, and its reliability to reach a sound genealogical conclusion. This summary was generated by Google Gemini.

You've written your book. You've put in the work. Now you're ready to see it in readers' hands, and that's a huge milestone worth celebrating. But here's what many authors don't realize: publishing your book is just the beginning. The real work? It's building momentum, connecting with your ideal readers, and turning your book into a tool for long-term business growth. That's where strategy comes in. I help entrepreneurs create intentional book launch plans—starting with clarity on who your readers are and how to reach them from day one. Through virtual launch events, personalized outreach, and content that builds trust, we'll make sure your book becomes a revenue generator, not just a project that you forget about.

Let's discuss how to leverage your book to expand your influence and connect with the right people. Head to www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com to get started. And now, let me introduce today's panelists: David Norman wrote “Supercharge: A New Playbook for Leadership,” a practical playbook for leading in real-time, clarifying priorities, making better decisions under pressure, aligning teams around measurable outcomes, and turning strategy into execution with simple, repeatable rituals that managers can actually use. Kim Groshek wrote “Where Do You Go When You Sleep?: Make Better Decisions, Boost Performance, and Leave a Lasting Legacy,” a practical guide to harnessing intentional pauses, sleep, and subconscious processing to make clearer choices, reduce overwhelm, and perform better so you can build a legacy with purpose-driven action.

With host retail coach Wendy Batten https://wendybatten.com/podcast-intro/ Episode Overview Many shop owners lead with good intentions, but being nice instead of kind can quietly create resentment, burnout, and instability in a retail business. In this episode, I'm exploring a distinction that quietly shapes many retail businesses: the difference between being nice and being kind. While niceness can feel good in the moment, it often leads to avoidance, resentment, and exhaustion over time. Kind leadership, by contrast, is clear, fair, and professional, and it supports long term trust and sustainability. I'll walk you through how this shows up in real retail situations, including team management, pricing decisions, inventory buying, customer boundaries, and personal time and energy. These are everyday moments where shop owners often default to being nice, even when it costs them their boundaries. You'll come away with a clearer understanding of how leading with kindness protects your business, your team, and YOU, and how small shifts in leadership can reduce burnout and resentment. Our Key Topics The difference between being nice and being kind in retail leadership How niceness shows up with staff, feedback, and underperformance Pricing decisions, discounting, and apologizing for prices Inventory buying influenced by customers, reps, or fear of disappointing others Customer boundaries, policies, and professionalism Time, energy, and the cost of always saying yes The Difference Between Nice and Kind in Leadership Being nice often avoids conflict but creates long term resentment and burnout. Kind leadership is clear, consistent, and professional, even when conversations are hard. Proper pricing and margins are an act of kindness to your business and its future. Boundaries with staff and customers create fairness and predictability. Saying 'no' in the right moments protects your energy and your role as leader. "Kind leadership will not ask you to sacrifice yourself." -Wendy Batten Your next step?

Something I realized early in my teaching career is that most students have absolutely no clue how to prepare for tests! That's why I'm diving into how intentional study guides can actually teach students how to study, not just what to study. I walk through my system for planning study guides alongside units, lessons, and assessments so they serve as clear roadmaps from day one (not last-minute cramming tools). You'll hear how I break units into concepts, build in time for students to work on guides as they learn, keep them flexible and student-driven, and motivate kids who think guides are busy work. Plus, I give my honest take on grading, accountability, and using AI as a support.Show Notes: https://itsnotrocketscienceclassroom.com/episode219Resources:How I Do Study Guides in High School ScienceShop INRS full year curriculum bundles.Complete INRS Units How to Write a GREAT Study Guide Help Sheet Study Guide Example Download your FREE Classroom Reset Challenge.Take the Free Labs When Limited virtual PD courseSend me a DM on Instagram: @its.not.rocket.scienceSend me an email: rebecca@itsnotrocketscienceclassroom.com Follow, rate, and review on Apple Podcasts.Follow, rate, and comment on Spotify.Related Episodes:Episode 60: Teaching with packets: What They Are, Why I Love Them, and How to Use ThemEpisode 96, Why I Stopped Assigning Homework (and 6 Surprising Results)Episode 159, My Top Tips for Helping Students Learn and Retain Dense Topics in Your Science ClassesEpisode 174, 7 Ways to Teach Your Students to Use AI Productively Episode 214, Practical Scientific Inquiry Teaching Strategies
Ancient Roots of Life Ep 32In this episode of the Ancient Roots of Life and Wellness podcast, hosts JT and Josh delve into the intriguing genealogies found in Genesis, particularly focusing on the kings of Edom mentioned in Genesis 36. They discuss the implications of these genealogies, questioning the authorship of Genesis and whether Moses could have known about future kings in Israel, especially since he died before entering the Promised Land. The conversation shifts to the significance of the Septuagint and the Masoretic text, exploring how different translations can alter interpretations of biblical events. They also touch on the historical context of the Israelites and their relationship with surrounding nations, pondering the timeline of events leading to the establishment of kings in Israel and the implications of these narratives on modern beliefs about lineage and faith. In this episode, Josh and JT delve into the intriguing connections between ancient civilizations, pyramids, and their cultural significance. They discuss the retrofitting of Egyptian tombs and the possibility that pyramids served as altars for sun worship rather than mere burial sites. The conversation shifts to the architectural similarities between pyramids in the Americas and those in Egypt, suggesting a deeper connection between ancient cultures and their worship practices. They also explore the influence of lunar and solar worship in various civilizations, including the Sadducees and the Ottoman Empire, and how these beliefs have permeated modern interpretations of scripture. The discussion then transitions to the impact of color and frequency on health and well-being. Josh shares insights on the benefits of copper, its role in the body, and how it can influence pH levels and inflammation. They touch on the significance of colors in clothing and their psychological effects, as well as the importance of sound frequencies in promoting plant growth and overall health.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jt-s-mix-tape--6579902/support.Please support our sponsor Modern Roots Life: https://modernrootslife.com/?bg_ref=rVWsBoOfcFJESUS SAID THERE WOULD BE HATERS Shirts: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/mens-shirts/WOMEN'S SHIRTS: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/womens-shirts/JT's Hats: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/hats/

Does thinking about 2026 make you feel excited… or a little anxious? Then let's talk about Fear Setting.If you're walking into the new year with big dreams and big doubts, you're in good company. In this episode, I share a powerful mental and emotional exercise called fear setting, popularized by author and entrepreneur Tim Ferriss, that has helped me face my fears with more clarity and confidence.Unlike goal setting, fear setting asks you to define exactly what you're afraid of, explore ways to reduce or prevent those fears, and consider how you'd recover if the worst did happen. It sounds intense, but it's a surprisingly freeing process that can help you move forward instead of staying stuck.I walk you through the three key parts of fear setting using a personal example — my journey to cotinue building Podground as we move into the new year. This simple exercise helped me name what I was afraid of (from rejection to the fear of success), and then take small, intentional steps forward with faith and focus.Whether you're considering a job change, a creative project, or just feel pulled toward something new — this episode will help you get clear on what's stopping you, and why it doesn't have to.This episode is for you if:You want to do something big or new in 2026 but feel afraidYou feel overwhelmed by your own expectationsYou've been stuck in overthinking and are ready for clarityYou want a faith-based approach to bold, wise decision-making What You'll Learn:What fear setting is, and how Tim Ferriss used it to make bold life decisionsA 3-part fear setting framework: Define, Prevent, and RepairHow to consider both the benefits of action and the cost of inactionA real-life example of how I used fear setting to step into growthA reminder that God can be trusted with your future and your fearsScripture Mentioned: Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
In this episode we'll talk about these energies:Why desire alone doesn't determine outcomesHow growth happens in relation to what we wantThe difference between longing and alignmentWhy experiences shape us before rewards arriveHow capacity is built through the process, not the prizeLearning to meet what you want without collapsing under itUnderstanding desire as an invitation, not a guaranteeAnd more… CONNECT WITH ME…→ Instagram — @mattgottesman→ My Substack — mattgottesman.substack.com → Apparel — thenicheisyou.comRESOURCES…→ Recommended Book List — CLICK HERE→ Masterclass — CLICK HEREWORKSHOPS + MASTERCLASS:→ Need MORE clarity? - Here's the FREE… 6 Days to Clarity Workshop - clarity for your time, energy, money, creativity, work & play→ Write, Design, Build: Content Creator Studio & OS - Growing the niche of you, your audience, reach, voice, passion & incomeOTHER RELATED EPISODES:Faith Isn't Knowing the Whole Path… It's Taking the Next Honest StepApple: https://apple.co/3MB62IuSpotify: https://bit.ly/4rZw3RN
In this episode of the Source Clarity Podcast, I talk about something that quietly changes everything: space. I share how creating space in your mind, your body, your calendar, and your emotional world is one of the most powerful ways to align with your destiny. When we create space, we stop forcing, pushing, and overthinking — and we allow clarity, intuition, and right timing to meet us naturally.Space is where truth reveals itself. Space is where alignment happens. And space is often the missing ingredient between where you are and what you're meant for.If you've been feeling stuck, rushed, or disconnected from your deeper knowing, this episode will gently remind you that alignment doesn't come from doing more — it comes from allowing more room for what's already trying to find you.Ready to build the foundation of intuitive mastery?

First off, the weekly peeves: annoying ways of talking and slamming doors! Then Amelia loses her mind a little bit after observing online fandom and how wrong it is, specifically what she saw while falling down a Stranger Things rabbithole. Then things take a Hallmark turn because Pitney is a huge fan of the Aurora Teagarden Mysteries, and Amelia's dad can't get enough of those Hallmark romance movies. And before you know it, it's all about memories of the Labyorteaux brothers and the appropriateness, or lack of, of thinking a teenage boy is cute.

Feeling like every promo is uphill? We unpack why marketing stalls when a book is presented to the wrong readers — and how smart positioning turns traffic into sales. Penny and Amy break down the signals that shape buying decisions in under five seconds: category choices, keywords that actually guide Amazon, cover conventions that telegraph sub-genre, and hooks that speak to what readers want right now.We share real-world shifts that changed outcomes fast, including a romance that soared after moving from an overly spicy label to a truer contemporary slot and a mystery that found its people by swapping “cozy” for “amateur sleuth.” You'll hear how to diagnose a mismatch when ads get clicks but no buys, why “too unique” covers quietly repel your ideal audience, and how to use reviews as free market research to refine your description and promise.This conversation is a roadmap for authors who want to sell more without burning everything down. You'll learn to niche with confidence, align title and subtitle with retail reality, refresh descriptions with language readers already use, and adopt the 1% rule: small, targeted improvements that compound. If you've been trying to reach everyone, it's time to reach the right ones.Ready to fix the foundation and stop wasting ad spend?

Hello to you listening in Torino, Italy!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories With Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.I spend 2 hours every Thursday afternoon with my wonderfully supportive, encouraging, questioning, criticizing, hot seating, creative MasterMind Group. Before we get together we exchange our 4Rs from the prior week detailing our Results, Reaches, Resistances and Resources.Ah, Resistance! Tricky is thy name. It's the step you don't want to take because you're afraid, bored, uncertain, anxious, tired, or just plain disgusted with it all. As the poet David Whyte reminds us: "We must start close in taking the first step - the one we don't want to take."Click HERE to listen to Whyte recite his own poem, Start Close In.If you're like me you've probably learned that the sooner you face up to your resistance and move toward your task or project the more confident you are likely to feel and perhaps begin asking yourself, “What took me so long?”Story Prompt: What was powerful, striking, exciting, maybe even liberating about the notion of taking that first step, the one close in? Now, where will you go? Write that story! And tell it out loud. Practical Tip: The magic of stories is also in the sharing. If you wish share your story with someone or something. All that matters is you have a story.You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us! You will have wonderful company as we continue to walk our lives together.

Send us a textWeather is more than background scenery—it can shape mood, reveal character, heighten tension, and even point readers toward deeper spiritual truths. In this episode of the Christian Indie Writers Podcast, we explore how to write the weather with purpose and power. From snowstorms that trap characters together to heat that frays tempers, we'll talk about using weather as a storytelling tool rather than filler. Whether you write romance, fantasy, historicals, or suspense, this episode will help you make the forecast work for your story, not against it.Support this ministry on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/christianindiewriters30 Days of Writing Sprint Prompts:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08MGR7431Our Facebook Group!https://www.facebook.com/groups/listenersofciwpSprint Prompt: snow, wind, silence, shelter, wait

If you've ever had a week where your intentions were solid… and your follow-through vanished into the void, you're not alone. In this episode, Eric is joined by writer, teacher, and ADHD coach Paulette Perhach, who shares the FINISH framework: a simple, ADHD-friendly approach to actually completing projects, building consistency, and getting unstuck. Paulette's take is refreshingly honest: ADHD can feel like the superpower and the kryptonite at the same time. She talks about getting diagnosed at 38, learning to ask for accommodations without shame, and building systems that support creative work… even when your brain fights you every step of the way. This conversation is part practical strategy, part nervous-system-friendly encouragement, and very "you're not broken, you're under-supported." ✅ In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why ADHD brains often need "fake stakes" (engineered urgency) to follow through How to break big goals into small increments that create momentum The importance of nixing distractions (without relying on willpower) How to protect hyperfocus and use it intentionally instead of accidentally Why community and body doubling are so powerful for ADHD How self-compassion becomes a real strategy, not just a nice idea What to do when you're having a "bad brain day" and can't access your usual tools
