If you've ever wondered what it's really like to step into the mission field for Jesus —or how you can make a difference for the kingdom in global missions without leaving home — this is your episode. Today, I'm joined by Julianne Heilman, founder of Asifiwe Child Care Ministries in Uganda, a life-changing ministry that rescues vulnerable children, gives them hope and opportunity, and shares the love of Jesus. Think stories you've only read in missionary biographies—except they're happening right now.

As President Trump orders federal troops into the streets of Washington, D.C. to “do whatever the hell they want” to stop crime, Sen. Peter Welch is traveling across Vermont to share what he insists is the real news that Trump is trying to divert attention from.Welch has tallied the impact of President Trump's economic policies and determined that they will cost families in Vermont an average of $2,120 each year. He says that 99.5% of all Vermont families will lose money as a result of Trump's tariffs and his budget reconciliation bill, which the Senate narrowly passed in early July after Vice President J.D. Vance cast a tie-breaking vote.The Vermont Conversation caught up with Welch at Snow Farm Vineyard in South Hero, where Welch held a listening session attended by about 150 people.Welch conceded that even he is “shocked” by the devastating impact of what he calls the “big ugly bill.” His office released a list of those impacts, including:As many as 45,000 Vermonters will lose health care As much as $1.7 billion in lost revenue for Vermont hospitals Over 26,000 Vermonters will lose access to discounted premiums on the Affordable Care Act marketplace 6,000 Vermonters are at risk of losing SNAP assistance Annual energy bills for Vermonters will rise by $290 The state will lose 1,400 jobs by ending green energy projects Mortgage payments will rise by $1,060 annually 78,000 Vermonters with student loans will pay $3,694 more over the course of their loansThese cuts will shred the country's social safety net, undoing social programs that date back to President Roosevelt's New Deal and President Lyndon Johnson's Great Society.“There (were) a lot of lies that were peddled by the administration and frankly by many of my Republican colleagues about how great the bill was," Welch said, while "ignoring the concrete reality” of how it will hurt the people they represent. Welch said Trump's budget will add about $4.5 trillion to the federal deficit.In a rare criticism of Governor Phil Scott, Welch slammed the governor's recent decision to provide the Trump administration sensitive data on thousands of Vermonters who receive nutrition assistance. “We should not be providing the private information of our citizens to the federal government,” said Vermont's junior senator. “We should be protecting the privacy of Vermont citizens.”All together, Welch said Trump's actions are part and parcel of an authoritarian push. He accused the president of employing a “dual standard” around crime in the nation's capital. “You had a riot that was inspired and incited by President Trump and those folks who were intent on doing real violence and hurt many of these law enforcement officers have been pardoned by the president.” Welch was in Congress hiding from mobs of Trump supporters who rampaged through the Capitol on January 6, 2021.Abroad, Sen. Welch was also sharply critical of Israel's war in Gaza. Since the October 7, 2023 attack in which Hamas killed some 1,200 Israelis and took hostage some 250 soldiers and civilians, Israel has killed over 61,000 Palestinians, detained about 3,000 people — none of whom have been charged with a crime — and waged a campaign of starvation against a desperate population. In response, Welch has called for a ceasefire, the return of hostages, and a cutoff of sales of offensive weapons to Israel.“Being against starvation is not at all being against the endurance of the democratic Jewish state of Israel. It's about being against starvation and that starvation being inflicted by the authority of the state.”American democracy is “fragile," Welch said.

EPISODE THEMES

Ariel Sorensen reached deep inside herself to muster the strength and fortitude to reach out to me to find out if she could share her gripping and harrowing tale of her rape and sexual assault during what was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime to South Africa. Ariel and her male companion, strangers in a foreign land, were offered nightly accommodations by an elderly couple they had just met. The couple's generous offer seemed harmless at first, but as Ariel recounts, it was part of a carefully orchestrated manipulation. Things got worse when she was invited to stay in a separate bedroom from her friend, a decision that, in hindsight, proved to be catastrophic. Ariel's is a story of trust betrayed: revealing the devastating reality that grooming tactics aren't just used on children—they can be directed at adults as well.          Ariel's narrative goes beyond the details of the assault itself, exposing us to her emotional aftermath and the challenges of navigating a foreign justice system. She bravely describes the complexities she faced while reporting the crime in South Africa, highlighting the systemic obstacles that many survivors encounter when seeking justice abroad. One of the most impressive elements of Ariel's experience is that she advocated for herself in ways she herself wasn't even aware she could!  And Ariels is another prime example of why I continually emphasize the need for trauma-informed care in these situations, as well as the vital role of support systems in helping survivors begin their healing journey. Throughout this episode, Ariel emphasizes how her story can help others who may have suffered similar experiences. She also shares her thoughts on the importance of raising awareness about grooming tactics and the ways perpetrators manipulate their victims. As Ariel explains, understanding these behaviors is crucial in preventing future assaults and empowering individuals to recognize when they are being manipulated. Plus, her insights into the South African criminal justice system and the healing process offer invaluable lessons not only for survivors but for anyone looking to better understand the complexities of sexual violence. This is an episode full of learning points…start to finish! Ariel's bravery in sharing this painful chapter of her life speaks volumes about the resilience of survivors. Her story shines a light on the emotional, legal, and societal challenges that come with surviving sexual assault, while offering hope and healing to those who have faced similar struggles. I am super-impressed with Ariel's compelling and courageous account; it's prime example of from her journey toward justice and healing, and she joins me in the mission of normalizing the conversation. And she's an awesome example of someone who found out what can happen when you're a victim or survivor of rape or sexual assault and you reach out to me for a platform to tell your story. An important side note: if you're finding value in these episodes, please take a moment to leave a 5-star rating on your podcast platform. AND, please send me a note of support. I can't tell you how much your emails mean to me—they fuel my passion to keep this podcast going. Here's my email address:   Thank you to all of you who have reached out to me already!! Please keep those emails and texts coming…I truly look forward to hearing from you! On another note: I am a strong advocate and supporter of Survivor School (SS), founded and directed by CEO Arci Grey (another former guest on SASS). In fact, Arci has made me a consultant to SS as she maneuvers the intricacies of directing and managing the content and growth of her amazing organization. I encourage you to strongly consider becoming a member of SS, and as an affiliate would appreciate it, if you do decide to become a member, to use this link:  Thanks again for listening! As always, listed below are some additional important and meaningful websites I hope you'll take a look at and learn more about.    My email address:  As mentioned and emphasized, it's time to Normalize the Conversation.™  And please remember to Start by Believing…because we all know someone whose life has been impacted by rape or sexual assault. Thank you for tuning in.

Welcome to episode 168 of the Bodybuilding Down Under podcast! This week, we're joined once again by DC, who's been on an international journey as he competes across Asia during his 2024 season. Fresh off the NPC Natural Taiwan show and just days out from stepping on stage at WNBF Malaysia, DC shares his experience balancing peak week, travel, and prep all while abroad. We dive into:

Welcome back to Let's Try This Again—I'm your host, B Simone, and this episode is extra special because we're coming to you straight from beautiful, healing Bali! I sit down with Angelica, co-owner of Hotel Sages, the first Black woman-owned hotel in Bali, and together we get real about the journeys that brought us both here. We dive into what it means to find and create sanctuary—spaces for women to heal, connect, and thrive—whether it's through my LTTA Connect retreats or Angelica's journey from California and DC to Bali, building a business, navigating family relationships, and even embracing unexpected love.We talk openly about childhood, step-family dynamics, divorce, pressure to fulfill others' expectations, and the boldness it takes to live for yourself instead of just for those around you. Angelica shares how she and her partner came to Bali only to have their investor disappear—and how faith, community, and family support brought their dream alive anyway. I open up about using my pain, public scrutiny, and sisterhood to fuel resilience, and how creating real connection—both at home and especially in international healing spaces—has become my calling. This episode is full of laugh-out-loud moments, deep healing talk, business gems, and practical wisdom for anyone learning to let go of people-pleasing, stop asking for permission, and go where their spirit calls. If you're craving space to just be—messy, healing, bold, and beautifully yourself—this one is for you.Arya: Go to Arya.Fyi/trythisagain and get 15% off your first order.Liquid IV: Squeeze the most out of your Summer with Liquid I.V.

Endometriosis is a condition that an estimated that 155,000 women in Ireland are affected by. This condition has a massive impact on women as it decreases quality of life due to severe pain, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and infertility. Some individuals with endometriosis experience debilitating pain that prevents them from going to work or school. In Ireland, the government has committed to a national endometriosis framework and endometriosis hubs around the country, but nothing has been published yet. Because of a combination of the lack of endometriosis services in Ireland, lengthy waiting lists, and the cost of going private is forcing women to seek treatment overseas. Sophie King, fitness instructor and who has endometriosis joined Pat Kenny on the show to discuss.

Welcome back to The Keto Vegan! I'm Rach, and this week I'm spilling all the (plant-based) tea on my daughter's hen do in Majorca—think nine women, one fabulously gay gent, and me trying to stay vegan AND keto in a land full of chips, cocktails and zero vegan protein. Spoiler alert: only one of those survived. Tune in for real talk on holiday indulgence, staying true to your ethics, and why free-poured Spanish margaritas might be my new summer fling. Key Takeaways Keto Goes on Holiday Too: It's possible to try staying keto abroad, but when fresh bread and guac are all that's on offer, don't panic. One carb-heavy week won't undo everything. Vegan? Non-Negotiable: While keto can bend, vegan doesn't break. Sticking to your ethics is easy when it's not a ‘diet' but a lifestyle. Bread, guac, and hummus can get you through: There were dips. There was rye. No protein, but no starvation either. Spain's Cocktail Game Is Unpredictable: Mojito roulette is real. One friend's drink is perfect, yours tastes like a Haribo smoothie. Paella > Potatoes: If you're going to dabble in carbs, choose the dish that doesn't make you feel like a bag of bricks. Being around meat-eaters was a challenge: But it made me appreciate how easy and supportive my life is back home. Back Home, Back to Keto: Batch-cooked vegan chilli, red Thai curry and lots of water—getting back into ketosis is easier than you think. #VeganTravel #KetoVeganLife #VeganInSpain #MajorcaVegan #KetosisReset #KetoWhileTravelling #PlantBasedAbroad #HolidayEatingTips #KetoVeganPodcast #HenDoVeganSurvival Valuable Resources For an extensive list of foods with their carb, fat and protein count, go here: https://www.rachelgtherapy.co.uk/1-what-why-and-how For a keto-vegan start-up menu and shopping list go here: https://www.rachelgtherapy.co.uk/1-what-why-and-how Host Bio Rachel, a once morbidly obese individual, experienced a remarkable body transformation through the keto diet.

In this fiery double-segment, the host celebrates Donald Trump's historic trade win with the European Union—so dominant even France called it an act of "submission." With billions flowing into the U.S. Treasury and long-blocked markets finally opening to American producers, Trump's deal marks a crushing defeat of the globalist TPP agenda. The host credits listeners for helping torpedo that disastrous plan in 2016, exposing how close America came to surrendering trade and immigration control to foreign bureaucrats. Then the focus shifts to the latest front in the culture war: heterosexuality under fire. A new ad campaign featuring Sydney Sweeney sparks outrage from leftist TikTokers who liken it to “Nazi propaganda” for daring to celebrate traditional beauty and overt heterosexual appeal. The host explores how liberal outrage culture, driven by identity politics, continues to target anything resembling normalcy—even as consumers respond positively to what the left condemns. It's a tale of two Americas: one winning on the world stage, the other spiraling into cultural absurdity.

I am writing this to reflect on my experience interning with the Fish Welfare Initiative, and to provide my thoughts on why more students looking to build EA experience should do something similar. Back in October, I cold-emailed the Fish Welfare Initiative (FWI) with my resume and a short cover letter expressing interest in an unpaid in-person internship in the summer of 2025. I figured I had a better chance of getting an internship by building my own door than competing with hundreds of others to squeeze through an existing door, and the opportunity to travel to India carried strong appeal. Haven, the Executive Director of FWI, set up a call with me that mostly consisted of him listing all the challenges of living in rural India — 110° F temperatures, electricity outages, lack of entertainment… When I didn't seem deterred, he offered me an internship.

Today's Headlines: House Speaker Mike Johnson ended the congressional session early to block a vote on releasing Jeffrey Epstein case files, just as the House Oversight Committee moved to subpoena Ghislaine Maxwell. Trump's deputy AG (and personal lawyer) is set to visit Maxwell in prison, while Trump dismissed it all as a “witch hunt.” During an Oval Office sit-in with Philippine President Marcos Jr., Trump called for Barack Obama to be charged with treason over the Russia investigation—prompting a rare rebuke from Obama's office. Trump also claimed he'll receive $20 million in ad commitments from Skydance Media—soon to merge with Paramount—on top of a recent $16 million settlement, prompting Senator Warren to consider an investigation. Meanwhile, Microsoft warned of a major China-linked cyberattack on SharePoint, impacting nearly 100 institutions. Abroad, 28 countries condemned Israel's aid blockade in Gaza after 80 Palestinians were killed near an aid drop, and U.S.-Israel-Syria talks are expected amid Israeli strikes on Damascus. Trump also announced a new trade deal with Japan involving “reciprocal tariffs” and a vague $550 billion investment. Finally, the U.S. Olympic Committee banned trans women from competing in women's sports, following a Trump executive order.

This is the paradox of the high-achieving expat. Key Topics & Highlights:Lucy's Expat Journey:Lucy recounts how a one-year stay in the US turned into a 20-year global adventure, finally repatriating to Poland with her family. She discusses the challenges and surprises of returning "home".Run for Mental Health:Lucy talks about her upcoming marathon in support of the charity CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably), underlining the importance of mental health awareness among expats and high-achievers.The Hidden Struggles of Expats:Despite enviable lives showcased on social media, expats often face isolation, difficulty finding genuine connections, struggles with identity, sleep, work-life balance, and unspoken mental health challenges.Expectations and Vulnerability:High-achieving expats may feel pressure to manage everything themselves, leading to a reluctance to seek help and increased disconnection from loved ones both locally and back home.Building Authentic Connections:Lucy offers practical advice for intentionally and strategically building a support network as an expat—whether through hobbies, spontaneous connections, or structured meetups—and shares touching personal anecdotes.Confidence and Adaptation:The expat journey can shake one's confidence as cultural expectations shift. Lucy explains the need to recalibrate self-image and embrace a new way of being confident in unfamiliar settings.Types of Expats & Their Unique Challenges:Lucy identifies four expat archetypes—those preparing to move, first-timers in the honeymoon phase, repeat movers, and long-term nomads or repatriates. She encourages self-compassion and embracing the trade-offs of global living.The Importance of Community:Well-being and thriving abroad hinge on understanding and nurturing the right kind of social connections for individual needs, from deep friendships to activity-specific groups.Holistic Coaching Approach:Lucy describes her coaching framework, utilizing the "Wheel of Life" to address eight interconnected areas: career, family/friends, finances, hobbies/recreation, environment, personal development, health, and significant relationships.Memorable Quotes“Once an expat, always an expat.” - Lucyna Boland“Living abroad is a trade-off.

Belgian police this week questioned two Israelis who had served in Gaza during the war and were attending a music festival in Belgium. They were questioned over allegations of serious violations of international humanitarian law but released after a few hours. The case was hailed as a “turning point in the global pursuit of accountability” by a Belgium-based group called the Hind Rajab Foundation, which has campaigned for the arrest of Israeli troops it accuses of war crimes and crimes against humanity. This wasn’t the first case when Israelis travelling abroad have been targeted. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Dr Eran Shamir-Borer, Director of the Israel Democracy Institute’s Center for Security and Democracy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
