We literally can't do this without you.Episode 192 TranscriptElizabethSo I was born in the prairies of Canada to a Caribbean mother and West African father. I'm currently Los Angeles based. And I'm a filmmaker, a food justice organizer and a nonprofit founder.VirginiaThat is a lot of very hard jobs that you have! You sound extremely busy.ElizabethI am. It's a lot.VirginiaWell, we'll start with the film, because that's how we first got connected, when you were looking for sponsors for your really incredible film called Me Little Me. It came out in 2022, and it is available to stream on Amazon Prime and Apple TV. You were working on this for quite a long time. It was a the labor of love project for sure.ElizabethOh my goodness, 100 percent. It's based on my own lived experience. So, in 2009 I went to treatment for eating disorder recovery. I went to IOP—an intensive outpatient program—and I was also working full time while I did it.Being in eating disorder treatment became this kind of double life, and this big secret I had to hide. Because life couldn't stop, you know? And I guess that's something that I just never saw portrayed in any mainstream media, film, TV. It was always the person checked into inpatient. They had unlimited resources.VirginiaThousands and thousands of dollars per day for treatment.ElizabethAnd no mention of where this money was coming from. It was just this really nicely packaged perception of what recovery is. And I was just waiting and waiting to see something that had any semblance of what I'd gone through. And I just couldn't wait anymore! One day, I was like, “Okay, they're not doing it. I'm going to have to be the one to make it.” And that's what I did.Like you said, it was a labor of love. This is an indie film, 100 percent. We didn't have a studio backing us or anything like that. I just literally went to as many organizations as I could, and was like, “Look, I'm trying to make this. Can we have some money?” And it took a long time. We started shooting maybe the end of 2018 and 2019, before the pandemic. We started shooting principal photography, just getting the shots in. We ran out of money multiple times. There were so many challenges. So when I reached out to you, I was looking for finishing funds.I took a shot and submitted to South by Southwest as my work in progress. That means the sound wasn't done, the color wasn't finalized. It was 2021, by this time. And I was like, “You know what? I'm just going to shoot my shot and say I did it.” I was 100 percent sure nothing was going to come of it. But just to say that I did it. So end of 2021 I submitted and January 2022 is when they told me we were accepted. Still, I have to remind myself—I'm like, Oh my gosh, that happened.VirginiaYeah, you did it! You did the thing.ElizabethI did the thing! And then there were a whole bunch of other expenses that came with that. They needed a digital cinema package as a way to show the movie professionally, which was like a minimum $1500+. Plus, it still wasn't finished. So I just needed someone to do a quick color and sound pass. Because, my God, I couldn't just show the the work in progress. So we just did a quick, rough color and sound pass. And I had to hire someone to do that.I was grasping at straws. So when I reached out to you, I was just like, “This is what's happening. This is what the my need is. Any help would be so so appreciated,” and you were like, absolutely, let's do this.VirginiaThe story really resonated with me. As a journalist who's written about eating disorder recovery for two decades now, I'm very aware of that mainstream narrative that you were talking about and just how many people it doesn't represent. There is this whole eating disorder industrial complex that's built to sell a certain kind of recovery and center a certain thin, white girl narrative. And it just perpetually frustrates me, because everybody I know, whether personally in my own life, or people I've interviewed for work who has gone through recovery, is like, “Yeah, it doesn't look anything like that.”ElizabethNope. Not even a little bit.VirginiaAnd we're doing such a disservice to people! So the fact that you were going to tell this much more complex story, centering a Black woman—I was like, yes, thank you so much. ElizabethWhat you described is what I was up against, just this, all of those things. Trying to sell that story to the public, and if that's all people are offered, that's that's what they think the reality is.VirginiaAnd then that just pushes recovery so much further out of reach for people who wouldn't have access to that kind of treatment. Meaning the expensive inpatient treatment options, which also aren't even necessarily the best treatment! It doesn't work for everybody! Okay. We could have a whole other show about that.ElizabethWe really could. VirginiaThe point is, the film's incredible. It's out. I want everyone to go stream it now that they can. And what we really want to talk about today is how working on that film then led you to launch the Me Little Me Foundation.ElizabethWhile I was working on finishing the film, it was the middle of the pandemic. It was a hard time. The racial uprisings were happening all around us, and almost everyone I knew was traumatized by the world they were witnessing. And that combination — There was so much need, and people in my community and people I didn't know, people online were like. “I need resources, I need assistance, but I don't know where to turn.” It was too much to just ignore, you know? So that the subject matter of the film, plus the world that was happening at the time—I just knew there needed to be something in place that was different than the current resources out there.So I came up with the idea for a virtual food pantry where folks are approved up to a certain amount. They make a list of what they need. I shop for them online from a local grocery store that offers delivery, and the groceries are shipped to them for free. So you don't need to have a vehicle, you don't need to live in the correct zip code to get to the food pantry—because that's a thing. And you also get to choose how you want to nourish yourself, because that was important to me, too. Because there's dignity in being able to choose.VirginiaYes, and not just being handed a bag of food like, “This is what you get.”ElizabethYeah. “Be grateful, now move along.”So I wanted to help with the trauma, and the lack of resources. Cultural needs aren't taken into account at any food pantry I've ever used. I've been to so many pantries in my life, and it's a lot of white foods. Like, I don't know how else to describe them. And when you're having mental health issues because of trauma, because of the world around us, for whatever reason, just because you're struggling to make it, your cultural foods can be so comforting. They can just be so so comforting, and just what you need. And I just wanted to take that into consideration. So that's why I set it up the way I did, where folks tell me what they need, and that's what they get.VirginiaThere's such dignity in that, and empowerment for people. I think about the power of choice all the time, even just at the level of feeding my own kids. The idea that I would know what someone else needs to eat on any given day seems wild? I don't know what you're hungry for! I don't know what what you need right now. You know what you need right now. The fact that so many of our aid systems are not set up to honor that is a huge problem. So I love that you built that into into how you're doing this.You're focusing on folks of color who need assistance, and you're also focusing on folks in eating disorder recovery.ElizabethYeah, so basically folks who hold multiple marginalized identities are really who we serve the most. That's just how it honestly just started happening because of the people I'm connected with onlin,e and the places I was advertising this pantry. So many folks in recovery struggle with food security. Because the recovery models we were talking about earlier really emphasize “You need to always have food available.” You need to have snacks. So Recovery has been hard for them because that. Recovery has been hard for me because of that. I don't always have a cupboard full of snacks and multiple choices even though that's something in recovery that we're told to do. I'm laughing because they say, “Just make sure you fill your pantry.” Like everyone has a pantry! They're like, “fill your pantry with all the food you can.”VirginiaFirst, we need to get a pantry.ElizabethNumber one.VirginiaWhen does that get delivered?ElizabethExactly! So there are so many people in the recovery community telling us, “Oh my goodness, this is what I needed. Like, thank you so much. It's impossible to keep myself nourished without this assistance, this has been amazing.”Coming from that world, I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. It's beyond hard to recover in this world we're living in without assistance. So maybe 65 percent of who we serve are actively in recovery or currently have an eating disorder.And there is also a large population of folks with disabilities. People who are mobility impaired, or even young people and youth who don't have a car to get somewhere. There are so many folks with multiple marginalized identities who rely on us. It's beyond what I even thought.VirginiaAre you focusing on a particular geographic area?ElizabethGood question. It's nationwide. Because it's virtual—that's another thing I wanted to not be a barrier. If you can apply online, if you have access to computer at work—I'm trying for accessibility purposes to have another way to apply as well, but as of now, you apply online, and you can be anywhere. As long as you live somewhere that has a local grocery store that delivers, then you can use our services.VirginiaThat's really, really great. So as you're working in this food justice space… what you're doing is meeting an immediate critical need. People need to eat today. People are working on their recovery, they need access to food. And the reason this need is so dire is because of many larger structural failings in our systems. So how do you think about like, “Okay, I'm trying to put out this immediate fire. But we need so much larger change as well.” How do you kind of hold that together?ElizabethSometimes it does make me sad, because I'm like, “Oh, is this just a band aid for something systemic.” But I believe that what we're doing can eventually be just the way folks are given the resources they need. It doesn't need to be what we've always had. Why can't you just pick? Why does it have to be food that might not be good anymore? Expiring, not fresh, food that's offered? Why is that the only thing that we're saying is acceptable? So I'm really trying to get the word out that, hey, we're doing something that's working. And yes, it's for folks who are facing food insecurity now but you know, all these organizations that have these elaborate setups where they're pre-boxing things, you can do it a different way.VirginiaSo you're creating a new model that hopefully other organizations will replicate.ElizabethAbsolutely.VirginiaAs your organization continues to grow, this is something you can scale up, because of the way you've designed it. You're helping connect people to their local grocery store. This isn't you needing to build some whole infrastructure of warehouses, right?ElizabethExactly. That's eliminated. We don't have to pay rents to store a bunch of boxed items. I don't think people are looking at things like that with the current systems that are in place.VirginiaAnd obviously, it would be amazing if programs like SNAP and welfare were providing more resources for folks. But given the current political climate, we're going to be lucky to hold onto any social safety net we have left. ElizabethLike, any. And that's the same how I was saying earlier. Like, middle of pandemic, people were just so traumatized. People were just kind of numb. And like, “I don't know what to do, I need food to eat, though.” I'm seeing it now again, like this year the same. I'm like, whoa. This is history repeating.VirginiaI think people are feeling a lot of the same panic, embarrassment, and uncertainty about what's happening next. Everything is feeling extremely unstable.ElizabethAbsolutely.VirginiaSo making sure people have a way to feed themselves today—it's something we can do. There is all this bigger change that needs to happen, and we can contribute to that however we can. But this kind of direct aid to people getting fed today is something that we can do, and really is crucial right now. We can't do the rest if people aren't eating. This is the starting point.I mean, I've worked on pieces about childhood hunger over the years, and I know you're focusing more on adults, but it blows my mind how often organizations that work on hunger have to show research to convince people that kids can't learn if they're hungry. And it's just like, why did we need to have to do a study? Why did you need data?ElizabethYes, they need to see the numbers. It's fascinating to me. When I tell folks stuff based on my lived experience of going to pantries, not having enough, or not having access in the area. They're like, “Oh, okay, we just need you to type that all up, and we need to see where you got that data.” And I'm just like…where I got that data? From my life! And so many people I know! That blows my mind, the amount of data folks are requesting when it comes to food insecurity.VirginiaWe shouldn't have to explain it or justify it. It should just be obvious that people need enough food to eat. That's the baseline.So Burnt Toast, we have a mission!Our goal is to raise $6,000 by June 1 for the Me Little Me Foundation to support the virtual free food pantry project. When we reach that $6,000 goal, Burnt Toast (the newsletter and podcast) will match that with another $6,000. So we have a chance to raise $12,000 for Me Little Me to help them make a big push on this work.Elizabeth, tell us a little bit about what those funds will mean for your organization. What are we going to help you do? And then, of course, what do folks need to do to donate?ElizabethOh, my goodness. It would just help us so immensely. Just to break it down: $100 worth of groceries means folks can make a minimum of 20 home cooked meals. So if we raise $6,000 that's literally 1200 home cooked meals that we could provide.VirginiaThat's awesome.ElizabethIt would help us so much, because we always have more applications than the resources. It's crushing. Applications will be open for 24 hours and we have to shut them down because we're just so overwhelmed. And say, “I'm so sorry. Please try back next quarter.” I'm trying to raise more money. I'm not going to let you all down. So it would help us immensely. I'm trying to play it cool. This is my cool and collected voice, but I'm sort of squealing inside.VirginiaWell, I think what you're doing is so important. And we have over 65,000 people on the Burnt Toast list! This is not a big ask for anyone. A few bucks will cover one of these meals that we're trying to raise money for. If you have 100 bucks, great! That's 20 meals you've covered. This is the kind of community effort that is giving me hope right now, that's making me feel like the entire world's not falling off a cliff. We can get this done. And I think actually, we can exceed this goal.The second piece of our challenge is: If you're able, please become a monthly donor! Whether that's $5 a month or $100 a month—which would buy 20 meals a month! Do it! We are setting a goal to add 25 new recurring donors to the Me Little Me rosters. Burnt Toast is already a recurring donor, but we want 25 of you to sign up to be a recurring donors, too. So take whatever gift you were going to give and divide it by 12; break it up monthly and donate that. Because recurring donations are really critical to organizations like this. Elizabeth, you can speak a little bit to why that matters so much.ElizabethBecause the need is ongoing. We're inundated every time we open the pantry, and the recurring donations will help us reach our ultimate goal of being able to see real systemic change and have this just be something that's in place. So of course, yes, please if you're able to just give a few dollars we would love that. But if you can support us on a monthly basis in any capacity, it'll just be such a big weight off of the shoulders of so many folks who rely on these services.VirginiaRecurring donations help nonprofits plan. It's money they can rely on and actually look ahead and not just be scrambling. ElizabethScramble—that's the perfect word. I get a little stressed every time we open the pantry.VirginiaWell, I am really excited. I really appreciate you reaching out and giving us this opportunity to support what you're doing. I think it's so meaningful and so important. And, Burnt Toast, let's get it done. This section contains affiliate links. Thanks for supporting Burnt Toast when you shop our links! ButterElizabethSomething I discovered, I think by accident, is painting on burlap—like the material that they make sacks out of. It's so random. They sell it at craft stores. And there was just some on sale. So I have just regular paints at home from ages ago that I just didn't want to throw away. And, yeah, I just started. I stuck some burlap on a piece of wood, and just started painting it. And it just was so soothing. Just the surface of it, the texture, just painting over the burlap. And I was like, oh my gosh. Do people know about this?VirginiaI did not! This is amazing.ElizabethSo not painting on canvas, but on burlap material. Even if you make a mistake, it still looks nice. VirginiaWhat kind of paint are you using?ElizabethIt was literally paint that you would get at a hardware store, like if you were painting a wall in your house. They have specific fabric paint—because I'm going down a rabbit hole with it now—but that works just fine. Like, if you go to a hardware store and get a sample size, that's what I had. I had a bunch of little samples. so I just started painting words on the burlap and making little gift things. And it was just so soothing. So that's just a really random activity.VirginiaThat's a great Butter. Thank you. I've been noticing a little trend with guests lately, where a lot of the Butters are people are really drawn to something that gets them off their phone, off the computer, kind of like an absorbing project. Absorbing projects have been a trend in butters, and I am a big fan. I'm a big jigsaw puzzle person and gardener. Like these tactile things that get us out of our heads a little bit are just great.ElizabethOh, wonderful. Oh, I'm so glad to hear that.VirginiaMy Butter is going to be somewhat related, and it's a repeat Butter. I've recommended it before, but we have this great bird feeder. It's called the Bird Buddy, and it has a camera in it, so it takes pictures of the birds for you and sends them to your phone. It's not cheap, but they do go on sale from time to time. I will link to it. But anyway, we moved the feeders to a new part of the garden, and we hung up our hummingbird feeder and another type of feeder—and just all of the birds that are coming now are making me so happy.ElizabethI can imagine!VirginiaI'm That Mom now. I'm like, “Guys, there are more goldfinches! Have you seen the goldfinches??” And one of my kids loves birds, and one of them doesn't care. So I'm being a little excessive, and they're like, okay, yes, we see. But I think it's the same thing of — I'm needing beauty that's not in the Internet. That's taking me away. And they're so soothing to watch. So bird feeders, specifically, the camera one is really fun, but bird feeders in general, is my Butter today.ElizabethOh, now I want to see the photos of the birds.VirginiaOh, I'll send you some. It's pretty exciting. Elizabeth, thank you so much. Let's just remind everyone again, how to support you, how to donate to Me Little Me.

A study has found New Zealand's slice of the ocean is absorbing more heat than anywhere else on the planet. Climate Change Correspondent Eloise Gibson reports.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Carlos: Hello Dr Cabral, You have changed my wife and I's life over the past year! Real quick question, my wife found out she has an 8mm simple cyst located at the pancreatic head. It does not bother my wife and she has zero pain. We are wondering how we could go about getting it removed/shrunken? Would you recommend the 21 day detox or a cleanse of some sort? Thank you for taking the time every week to answer questions.                                                                                   Alberto: I am 71 and was diagnosed with BPH. My PSA is low and testosterone levels are in range for my age. The urologist mention that it's very large and no treatment at this stage except surgery. I was referred to have an MRI. Any natural solution to improve my situation. I am not diabetic, have normal blood pressure and weight. Follow a low carb diet, intermittent fasting 5 days a week and 3 days fast once a month. I am Very confused about the right amount of animal protein intake in this situation? I take supplements regularly. Add red Maca, moringa and turmeric extract, pomegranate to my shake. Any recommendations please. Thanks.                                                                                                                                       Jessica: I no longer have my gallbladder, adenoids, tonsils, or appendix. Three kids later and I am suffering. I am struggling to detox, and absorb my food, or get enough healthy fats and fat soluable vitamins in my diet. I take TUDCA, Bile Salts, digestive enzymes, and binders and do coffee enemas. Do you have any resources for me that could support me, while also following relatively close protocols as your own?              Zach: Hello Dr. Cabral, I am a 26 year old male that works out and is quite healthy, Ive been using testosterone, hcg, dhea for my HRT, for the past 2 years and 9 months. My total T before starting treatment was 550 so I was never hypogonadal and I very impulsively hopped on testosterone. I want to quit due to the side effects, hair loss, libido fluctuations, etc, and to see if I can produce my natural high levels again. In your experience what are my odds that my body will be able to recover its natural production and that I can regrow my hair? By the way Ive been working with an ihp for a year now and am much healthier! Thank you sir! Zach                                                                                                          Byran: Hi Dr Cabral. I have gut issues and have a rainbow of symptoms. The most debilitating one is gut pain around the mid-lower right side of my large intestine(?). Often, it's at it WORST in the AM and causes me to wake up around 4-5. After being awake for 1.5 hours, I fall back to sleep. Was told its my appendix and almost had it removed in '22-'23. Doctors I've met with recently said if it were my appendix, it would hurt more. Been diagnosed with hiatal hernia, LPR, IBS, slow gut motility, stool burden, diverticulosis etc. To cut a long story short, not looking for a diagnosis, just wondering if you've seen this in your practice. Namely, early morning gut discomfort on the right side (colon?) which often subsides as the morning progresses or is relieved via bowel movements. All the best,                                                               Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3362 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

AM Best Director Edward Kohlberg highlights a new Best's Market Segment Report that determines that economic conditions, regulatory frameworks and engaging products will reshape the future of the Life/Annuity market.

God loves us so much that we actually need to pray for more ability to absorb His love, which is best displayed at the cross.What changes in us, when we better absorb God's love?1. We become willing to take action based on the promises of God, because we believe Him and hope in Him. (v.41-44.)2. We become convinced of the truth that freedom is only found in obeying God's law. (v.45)3. We develop a passion for God's Word. (v.46-48)How do we take in God's love? Ephesians 3:18Who taunts Christians? Do we have an answer? (see v.42) Is.14:1-5What would it take for us to see obedience as freeing? Rom. 8:20-22What propels us to speak of God's love? Acts 4:20 2Cor. 5:11-15

A vast program of public works was initiated by the Israeli Government to provide employment opportunities for the refugee immigrants who were mainly unskilled. Likewise, the Jewish National Fund embarked upon a nationwide forestation project that totally transformed the landscape of the country. After figuring out how to absorb the greatest number of immigrants the world has known, Prime Minister Ben Gurion had to deal with other burning issues such as how to deal with the deeply religious residents of Israel referred to as “Haredim.” Critical attention also had to be devoted how to secure Israel's borders when each neighboring country was hostile and sought Israel's destruction. This resulted in the Army Reserves for every able-bodied soldier.

We found our way to record this remote location late at night, and in near total darkness. A sheltered dell, with a fresh running stream. Earlier in the day, when everything was bathed in bright grey light, we'd walked through this secluded place on our way down from West Quantoxhead, and decided it might be a perfect spot for the Lento box to make a long overnight recording. There's a branch just above your right shoulder, my partner quietly calls up from below. Can you use that to lever yourself up? The height I'd just gained had markedly improved the spatial clarity of the wrilling stream, so just a little higher, I thought. We really need to be able to properly hear the full width and detail of the water, as it flows through the dell. How still this place is. How perfectly balanced it sounds, nestled within the wildness of this wide open West Somerset landscape. To reach the branch I had to work my way through a mass of prickled twigs in the dark while holding the Lento box in one hand. After some not insignificant effort, the branch, and my elbow, connect. I haul up, wedge in, and tie the box onto the trunk. To be sure this spot meets the criteria we've evolved over the years, I try to match my head with the box, and hold completely still. Listening. Absorbing the scene. Slightly adjusting the angle of the mics, so they can capture as much as possible of what it is I'm actually hearing. Good, I quietly call down, this is it.  We head back to where we are staying, leaving the Lento box to record alone, non-stop through the night. Without us or indeed anyone else about to witness, time passes. Looking down from the tree, the stream wrills, and the landscape murmurs its nocturnal murmurings. Sheep can be heard, sometimes moving vaguely, through the dark. And one seems to come to rest beneath the tree holding the mics. From time to time it makes the softest, most gentle noise, that a sheep can surely make.

Do you feel like you're carrying emotions that aren't even yours? That's codependency in action! Growing up, we were taught to take on other people's feelings—sometimes with real consequences if we didn't. It's a classic insecure attachment trait, but here's the good news: You don't have to keep doing it. In this episode I explore how this trait shows up and how to start letting it go. Imagine how much lighter (and freer!) you'd feel if you let go of emotions that were never yours to hold.

Do you ever feel emotionally drained after spending time with certain people? Do you take on the moods and emotions of those around you—almost like a sponge?If you're a highly sensitive person (HSP), your nervous system is wired to process emotions deeply. While this can make you compassionate and intuitive, it can also leave you overwhelmed, exhausted, and carrying emotions that aren't even yours.In this episode, we'll explore:

Highly sensitive people often struggle with absorbing others' emotions, but by setting emotional boundaries, practicing self-permission, and using grounding techniques, they can maintain their own energy without taking on external anxiety. Many Highly Sensitive People struggle with taking on emotions that aren't theirs, leading to exhaustion and overwhelm. Mental health starts with emotional boundaries, and in this episode, we explore powerful strategies to protect your energy, shift from absorbing to observing, and rewire your subconscious patterns for peace. ♥ PATTERNSCAPES WELLNESS DECK: https://getpatternscapes.com ♥ BREAKTHROUGH PEACE PROGRAM: https://bit.ly/peace-program ♥ NARCISSIST ABUSE RECOVERY WORKSHOP: https://www.EmotionalBadass.com/workshops ♥ WORK WITH NIKKI 1:1 : https://EmotionalBadass.com/coaching ♥ PATREON: https://bit.ly/EBpatreon ♥ FREE MORNING ROUTINE PDF: https://EmotionalBadass.com/morning ♥ APPLE PODCAST: https://apple.co/40mStzg ♥ SPOTIFY PODCAST: https://spoti.fi/3QHLH3W ♥ BOUNDARIES COURSE WITH NIKKI: https://EmotionalBadass.com/boundaries ♥ WEEKLY NEWSLETTER: https://www.EmotionalBadass.com/newsletter ♥ WEBSITE: https://EmotionalBadass.com ♥ YT: https://www.youtube.com.com/emotionalbadass/ ♥ IG: https://www.instagram.com/emotional.badass/ ♥ FB: https://www.facebook.com/emotionalbadass ♥ TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@emotionalbadass Learn more about your ad choices.

An empath is someone who has a heightened ability to sense, understand, and feel the emotions of others. They often absorb and experience the emotions, energies, and even physical sensations of those around them as if they were their own. This deep emotional sensitivity can make empaths highly compassionate and empathetic individuals, but it can also be overwhelming, as they may struggle to differentiate between their own feelings and those of others. Empaths are often drawn to helping professions or roles where they can use their sensitivity to assist others. However, their ability to pick up on the emotions of others can sometimes lead to emotional burnout or fatigue, especially if they are surrounded by negative energy or if they don't practice self-care. Empathy, which is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others, is a common trait, but empaths experience it more intensely and on a deeper level. Empaths also have a heightened sensitivity to environmental factors, such as energy in a room or the presence of others, beyond just emotional empathy.

PAUSE… Sweet solitude,  A sacred space where you can hear your own heart,  Where you can meet your true self without the echoes of the outside world.  It is here, in this quietude, that you find clarity and peace. PAUSE… As you settle deeper into comfort,  Close your eyes and visualize a path leading to a lush, tranquil garden.  This garden is yours alone. Every leaf,  Every flower,  Every pebble has been placed by you, for you.  With each step on this path, feel the layers of noise and distraction wash away. LONG PAUSE… Step into your garden of solitude.  Notice the vibrant colors of the flowers,  The gentle sway of the trees.  Hear the melody of a distant waterfall.  Feel the soft grass under your feet.  This place is designed by your soul, for moments of quiet reflection. PAUSE… Find a spot to sit within this garden.  Maybe it's a bench under a blossoming tree or beside a tranquil pond.  Sit there, and breathe in the solitude.  Feel how the air is filled with the sweet fragrance of flowers mixed with the freshness of the earth. PAUSE… In this silence, ask yourself, "How am I truly?"  Allow feelings and thoughts to surface naturally.  Observe them without judgment, letting them flow freely. PAUSE… Notice if there's any tightness, any discomfort within you.  Solitude allows us to gently acknowledge these feelings, to embrace them with compassion rather than resistance.  Breathe into these spaces of tension, breathe out relief and space. LONG PAUSE… Inhale deeply,  Absorbing the healing energies of your garden.  Let this energy reach every corner of your being.  Exhale doubts,  Fears, and loneliness.  PAUSE… As uncertainties or discomfort arise,  Know they do not define your garden, your solitude, or you.  They are simply visitors, passing through.  Acknowledge them, learn from them, and let them go with your exhale. PAUSE… In this beautiful solitude,  You are the gardener of your inner landscape.  You can cultivate joy, peace, and love.  You can prune the weeds of negativity and plant seeds of positivity that will bloom under your care. LONG PAUSE… Now, inhale.  Exhale. LONG PAUSE… Sweet dreams, Beautiful. 

Heavy metal poisoning (toxicity) is the result of exposure to heavy metals like lead, mercury and arsenic. Heavy metals bind to parts of your cells that prevent your organs from doing their job. Symptoms of heavy metal poisoning can be life threatening and they can cause irreversible damage. ​Heavy metal poisoning occurs when microscopic molecules of metals accumulate within your body after exposure. Heavy metals attach to your cells and prevent them from performing their functions, which causes symptoms that could be life threatening without treatment. ​ What metals cause heavy metal poisoning (toxicity)? Several metals can be toxic to your body. The most common toxic metals are: Lead. Contaminated water from lead pipes, batteries, paint, gasoline, construction materials. Mercury. Liquid in thermometers, lightbulbs, dental amalgam (“silver”) fillings, batteries, seafood, topical antiseptics. Arsenic. Topical creams, herbicides, insecticides, pesticides, fungicides, paints, enamels, glass, contaminated water, seafood, algae. Cadmium. Cigarette smoke, metal plating, batteries. Thallium. Rodenticides, pesticides, fireworks. ​ How does someone get heavy metal poisoning? You can get heavy metal poisoning by exposing yourself to heavy metals. Heavy metals form naturally within the Earth's crust. We interact with small amounts of heavy metals every day, like when you check the temperature of your thermometer, which uses mercury. Heavy metal poisoning occurs when metals get into your body. This can happen if you're exposed to a large amount of metal including: Eating a lot of food that contains metals (fish). Drinking water from older water supply systems. Working with metals on the job. Taking medications or supplements with high amounts of metallic elements. Handling metals or products made with a large amount of metal (like paint or pesticides) without using personal protective equipment. Most metals that cause poisoning are in a microscopic (molecular) form when they enter your body. They are so small, you won't be able to see them. Heavy metals can enter your body by: Absorbing into your skin. Breathing in or inhaling tiny metal molecules. Eating or drinking (ingesting) the metal from food or water. ​ Who does heavy metal poisoning affect? Heavy metal poisoning can affect anyone who has exposure to heavy metals. This most often affects people who: Drink water from pipes made of older metals (lead). Work with metals. Take more than the prescribed dosage of medicine or supplements that contain metal. Live in an environment with high air or water pollution. Eat a lot of foods that contain metal. Consume a non-edible product made with metal (paint). Children are at a higher risk of heavy metal poisoning because their bodies are still developing and they are more sensitive to the harmful effects of heavy metals. ​ How common is heavy metal poisoning? The exact rate of occurrence is unknown, but in the United States, heavy metal poisoning is rare since it only affects people who have exposure to heavy metals. The number of people diagnosed with heavy metal poisoning decreased significantly over the last 20 years because of awareness and preventative measures to remove heavy metals from homes. ​ What does heavy metal poisoning do to my body? Exposure to heavy metals can be dangerous to your health. While we use and interact with metals every day, certain heavy metals are toxic because the molecules that make up the metal damage or negatively interact with the cells in your body that are essential to keep your organs functioning. Your body has small amounts of metals in it already, like iron, copper and zinc. These metals are important to keep your organs functioning. If you have too much metal accumulated within your body, it can damage your vital organs like your brain and liver. (credits: Cleveland Clinic)

PAUSE… Find a spot to sit within this garden.  Maybe it's a bench under a blossoming tree or beside a tranquil pond.  Sit there, and breathe in the solitude.  Feel how the air is filled with the sweet fragrance of flowers mixed with the freshness of the earth. PAUSE… In this silence, ask yourself, "How am I truly?"  Allow feelings and thoughts to surface naturally.  Observe them without judgment, letting them flow freely. PAUSE… Notice if there's any tightness, any discomfort within you.  Solitude allows us to gently acknowledge these feelings, to embrace them with compassion rather than resistance.  Breathe into these spaces of tension, breathe out relief and space. LONG PAUSE… Inhale deeply,  Absorbing the healing energies of your garden.  Let this energy reach every corner of your being.  Exhale doubts,  Fears, and loneliness.  PAUSE… As uncertainties or discomfort arise,  Know they do not define your garden, your solitude, or you.  They are simply visitors, passing through.  Acknowledge them, learn from them, and let them go with your exhale. PAUSE… In this beautiful solitude,  You are the gardener of your inner landscape.  You can cultivate joy, peace, and love.  You can prune the weeds of negativity and plant seeds of positivity that will bloom under your care. LONG PAUSE… Now, inhale.  Exhale. LONG PAUSE… Sweet dreams, Beautiful.

Steven Ujifusa has a passion for oceanliners. The companies who build and ran them and the passengers who sailed on them - many immigrants coming to America to start a new life. In his book The Last Ships from Hamburg: Business, Rivalry, and the Race to Save Russia's Jews on the Eve of World War Steven explores the lives of the Jewish immigrants who fled Europe before war broke out.The Wall Street Journal calls it "Absorbing . . . a David-and-Goliath tale of the industrial age."In his book, Steven includes the stories of Jewish families on Titanic, having first learnt about the Ship of Dreams from his Jewish grandmother who told him about the bravery of the Straus's who didn't get into a lifeboat when given a chance. Ida would not leave the sinking ship because she couldn't imagine life without her husband, Isador, and they both perished.Learn some fascinating news facts and more history of the ship Nelson and Alexandra love to talk about on Titanic TalkSteven's WebsiteNelson and Alexandra also take a few minutes to remember Jon Landau - producer of Titanic and Avatar - who passed away last week.#titanic #titanicbook #jonlandau #jamescameronGo to www.shipofdreamsfilm.com and subscribe to our newsletter and for links and details of 2024 screenings in UK, Australia and New Zealand.TITANIC TALK Official Merchandise now on sale HERET-shirts, hoodies, baseball caps and mugs - the perfect gift for your favourite TitaniacFor more information on where to watchSHIP OF DREAMS: TITANIC MOVIE DIARIES go toshipofdreamsfilm.comShip of Dreams on FacebookShip of Dreams on TikTokWatch TITANIC TALK on YouTube go to ~TITANIC TALK YouTubeInstagram @titanic_talk_podcastFacebookFollow NelsonInstagram @nelsonaspenTwitter @nelsonaspenFollow Alexandra Instagram @fstclsswmn Twitter @alexactwrdir...

Plants called “hyperaccumulators” have evolved to absorb high levels of metals. Scientists want to harness them for greener metal mining. And, a little fern from New Caledonia is just a few inches tall, but its genome has 160.45 billion base pairs—50 times more DNA than a human.How Metal-Absorbing Plants Could Make Mining GreenerScientists are exploring a somewhat unusual green energy solution: mining metals from the earth using plants.Typically, if soil has high levels of metal, plants will either die or do everything they can to avoid it. But, one group has taken a different path: evolve to be able to safely absorb large amounts of the metals. These special plants are called hyperaccumulators. And their ability to suck metals like nickel from the earth is called phytomining.The Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy announced in March up to $10 million in funding for phytomining research.Ira talks with Dr. David McNear, professor of plant and soil sciences at the University of Kentucky, about these fascinating flora and their promise as a greener option to metal mining.A Tiny Fern Has The Largest Genome Ever DiscoveredScientists just discovered the largest genome of any living thing on Earth, and it belongs to a small, unassuming fern called Tmesipteris oblanceolata. If you were to split open one of its cells and unwind the DNA that's coiled up in the nucleus, it would stretch out more than 300 feet—taller than the Statue of Liberty.Scientists reported the finding last week in the journal iScience. The fern is only a few inches tall and is found on the island of New Caledonia in the Southwest Pacific. Its DNA is made up of 160.45 billion base pairs—50 times more than the human genome.This finding has left scientists scratching their heads, wondering how and why a fern ended up with so much DNA. Ira Flatow talks with co-lead author of this study Dr. Jaume Pellicer, evolutionary biologist at the Botanical Institute of Barcelona, about this research and why this fern's DNA is so puzzling.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
