In this deeply moving conversation, Yolanda welcomes Michelle Madrid — author, speaker, and midlife coach for women — to Girl, Take the Lead!.As a former foster child in the UK and an international adoptee, Michelle has spent a lifetime opening pathways toward her truest sense of identity and purpose. Today, she supports women navigating what she calls midlife grief — the quiet, often hidden grief that appears as life shifts: children leaving home, changing bodies, evolving relationships, and the question many women ask in midlife:Who am I now?Michelle believes midlife grief isn't something to avoid or suppress. Instead, she describes it as:“Love colliding with change.”In this conversation, Yolanda and Michelle explore grief as a messenger — one that can guide us toward healing, identity, and reclaiming our voice.Michelle also shares the inspiration behind her powerful framework UNBOX, a process she created to help women unpack suppressed emotions and reconnect with their aliveness as they step into the next version of who they're here to be.This episode is both deeply personal and universally relatable — touching on adoptee identity, people-pleasing, trauma responses, and the courage it takes to live from our authentic voice.And it leaves us with a beautiful reminder:“The light around us is great… but the light within us is greater.”Timestamps00:00 – Welcome & Michelle's work supporting midlife women through hidden grief02:24 – Yolanda reflects on grief and joy as her daughter prepares to marry05:27 – Michelle's definition of midlife grief: when love collides with change09:18 – The hidden grief many adoptees carry and why emotions were often suppressed20:19 – Limiting beliefs and the moment Michelle realized the baggage of others was never hers to carry31:17 – From ache to action: the small steps that begin healing36:04 – A powerful affirmation: “The light around us is great, but the light within us is greater.”More About MichelleMichelle Madrid is an author, speaker, and midlife coach for women.

Dalam perjalanannya Angel tampil di konser internasional seperti “Hitman Returns: David Foster & Friends” (2011) Berbagi panggung dengan musisi kelas dunia yang mana adalah pencapaian langka bagi penyanyi Indonesia muda. Dalam episode kali ini Angel Pieters kembali ke industri musik dengan karya single barunya berjudul “Rindu”. Sebuah pop balada yang memilih ketenangan daripada drama, dan memilih kejujuran rasa daripada kalimat-kalimat besar yang meledak-ledak. Dalam lagu “Rindu” Angel memaknai kerinduan bukan sebagai sesuatu yang harus “diselesaikan”, melainkan diakui dengan tenang. Tentang kehangatan sederhana yang pernah ada, lalu berubah oleh jarak dan keadaan, menyisakan memori yang pelan-pelan dipahami. Sebagai penyanyi dengan perjalanan karier panjang, Angel Pieters dikenal sebagai penyanyi yang mampu menyampaikan emosi dengan kedalaman interpretasi, bukan hanya lewat teknik, tetapi lewat cara ia “menghidupkan” cerita.

Have you ever walked into a room, sat next to someone, or laid down in bed and suddenly your body hurt… for no obvious reason?In this episode of The Constance Messmer Podcast, I unpack Empathic ClairSensation—the Soul Sense of feeling other people's physical sensations in your own body.You'll hear why this doesn't mean you're “dramatic” or “making it up,” and how your body is actually acting like an energetic antenna.I share gentle ways to ask, “Is this mine or theirs?” and introduces my Awareness–Breath–Care (ABC) practice so you can respond with clarity, not panic.I'll also talk about energetic hygiene: asking permission, setting rules for your practice, clearing cords, bubbling up in public, and remembering to swing back into your own energy after you've swung out to read someone else.

Die Themen dieser Folge: - Was eine Bude - Ist DAS das Tor des Jahres? - Werder Bremen werdert mal wieder los - und bald in Liga 2? - VAR-Wirr-Warr für den VfB - Toppmöller bald wieder an der Seitenlinie - aber wo? - Bayern gegen Frankfurt - mehr war nicht drin

Heute sprechen wir über Aches Tor des Jahres, Abwehrfehler vor dem 1:2 und El Malas Treffer zum Punktgewinn. Wir sprechen über Fortunas unglückliche Niederlage, den viel zu kurzen Startelfeinsatz des Jordy de Wijs und den Verlust von zu vielen Innenverteidigern. Und wir sprechen über Tim Walters Rückkehr, die Panik im Abstiegskampf und Bremens Endspiel gegen Heidenheim

In this first episode of our Lenten series, we look at Mary Magdalene through the lens of the Song of Songs.The Bride in the Song rises at night and searches for the one her soul loves. Mary Magdalene walks toward the tomb while it is still dark. The Church has long seen the connection. The poetry of longing becomes a body in a garden.This episode is about the holy ache, the kind of love that remains when consolation fades. It is about fidelity in emotional drought, desire purified of substitutes, and staying when God feels hidden.Lent is not first about discipline. It is about what kind of love remains when clarity is gone.If you are praying and not feeling much, seeking and not finding, still showing up even when it feels quiet, you are not failing. You may be learning how to stay.Support the podcast via Patreon: www.patreon.com/anthonystongue

Leute, diesmal melden wir uns live vom letzten Karnevalswagen der Liga, schmeißen Kamelle aus Beton und klären, ein für alle Mal, den Unterschied zwischen Rede und reden, zwischen Bürde und Bütte, zwischen Kult und Kultur. Weil ganz vorne ein Trainer sitzt, der eine Sprache gefunden hat, die gleichzeitig entwaffnet und umarmt. In einer Erzählung, die persönlich ist und gerade deshalb global, die Grenzen zieht und trotzdem Türen offen lässt. Und ihm schon jetzt einen Platz in der Ahnengalerie des FC Bayern sichert, weil sie nicht nur über den Sport hinaus klingt, sondern auch größer ist als der Verein, auf dessen Podium er sprach. Und weil ganz hinten, Gegenschnittlauch, wieder mehr Bock als Gärtner, ein anderer die Stille nicht ertragen konnte, hinein dröhnen musste in den Anstand und die Empathie. Ein Poltergeist, vom Abstiegsgespenst getrieben, der sich so gern als Stefan Baumgart verkleidet. Laut und vulgär, Schweineminute. Dabei hätte er sich doch auch einfach nur freuen können, still und heimlich über seinen Effzeh. Und einen Stürmer, der vier Tage nach Aschermittwoch als Klaus Fischer verkleidet die Schwerkraft verhöhnte. Ragnar Ache, vielleicht das Tor des Jahres. Sehr wahrscheinlich aber Kwasnioks einzige Transferleistung. Das waren sie ja, die großen Geschichten. Und wer jetzt noch wissen möchte, was dazwischen passierte, mit Blatter und Infantino, mit Trump und Gaza, mit Maik und dem nigerianischen Prinzen, dem legen wir ans Herz, doch bitte die ganze Übertragung zu hören, ehe Ansgar Brinkmann den verbalen Vorhang fallen lässt, als große Klammer, als passende Umarmung, zwischen schwarzen und weißen Brasilianern. Bis dahin verbleiben wir mit dem Schlusssatz einer denkwürdigen PK und sagen: Danke, Vinnie!

Klar reden wir über das Weltklasse-Tor von Ache und die sportlichen Highlights und Ärgernisse des Wochenendes. Aber die Rede von Vincent Kompany verdient besondere Beachtung. Vielleicht etwas für die Klassenzimmer in unseren Schulen... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

“Dazu benötigt man einen stabilen Freundeskreis, sollte sich nicht zu so komischen Sachen wie Leipzig-Fan werden überreden lassen.” Nico Heymer (18) gibt im kicker-Interview einen Rat an andere junge Fußballfans, wie man den Podcaster-Traum schaffen kann.

Am 23. Spieltag ist möglicherweise das Tor des Jahres gefallen. Kölns Stürmer Ragnar Ache traf gegen Hoffenheim per Bilderbuch-Fallrückzieher. Die Podcast-Hosts Tobi und Conny begutachten das Tor aus allen Perspektiven und schätzen ein, wie wichtig der gewonnene Kölner Punkt mit Blick auf den Abstiegskampf ist. Dramatisch wird so langsam die Lage beim VfL Wolfsburg nach der Heimpleite gegen Augsburg und bei Borussia Mönchengladbach nach der Niederlage in Freiburg. Im direkten Keller-Duell siegte St. Pauli gegen Werder und zog die Bremer dadurch auf einen direkten Abstiegsplatz. Während im Kampf um den Klassenerhalt ordentlich Spannung vorhanden ist, ist aus einem möglichen Titelrennen erstmal wieder etwas Luft raus. Borussia Dortmund macht aus einem 0:2 in Leipzig lastminute noch ein 2:2, verliert aber weiter Boden auf Tabellenführer FC Bayern. Der Rekordmeister siegte mit 3:2 gegen Eintracht Frankfurt und machte es nach einer 3:0-Führung nochmal spannend. Vor dem Spitzenspiel BVB vs. FCB am kommenden Wochenende lässt der Dortmunder Punkterückstand von jetzt acht Zählern nur noch wenige Borussen von der Meisterschaft träumen. Die Dortmunder sind natürlich trotzdem weiter auf bestem Wege, sich für die Champions League zu qualifizieren. Um die weiteren Plätze kämpfen Hoffenheim, Stuttgart, Leipzig und Leverkusen. Tobi und Conny besprechen alle Partien des 23. Spieltages und blicken ebenfalls kurz in das Aufstiegsrennen in Liga 2!

Liga: Aufstiegskampf bleibt spannend

Heute sprechen wir über offensive Harmlosigkeit, den fehlenden Willen zum Sieg und die kommenden schweren Gegner. Wir sprechen über einstudierte Gegentore, Ache im Stile eines Champions-League-Stürmers und die Gefahr der guten Spiele ohne Punkte. Und wir sprechen über Eichners schwierige Lage beim KSC, aufkommende Panik im Abstiegskampf und die anhaltende Negativserie im Tippspiel.

This is the debut broadcast and it comes in hot. No hosts stepping on the beat, no commentary, no breaks. Just a full throttle, all music takeover built on raw EDM, industrial edge, and trance that doesn't blink. For the entire show, the sound does the talking. Steel and synth grind together, basslines pulse like a living thing, and every drop feels intentional, electric, and fully charged with consensual heat. It is immersive, physical, and unapologetically loud. Lock in, turn it up, and let the signal consume the night.

In this episode Sharon is joined by psychotherapist, author and educator Karl Melvin, who works extensively with adults navigating family struggles and estrangement.Together, they explore what family estrangement truly means beyond the labels- emotionally, relationally, and somatically. Karl brings a clinical yet deeply compassionate lens to family dynamics and how awareness becomes the first step toward healing. This conversation is an invitation: to move away from blame, toward self-connection; away from silence, toward truth; and away from surviving family dynamics, toward choosing yourself with compassion.This conversation gently unpacks:What safety really means and how to begin feeling it in the bodyLearning to listen to our body's signals and rebuilding trust from withinThe importance of not rejecting ourselves, even when we've been rejectedNavigating confrontation and conflict without shame, blame, or self-betrayalClinical insights and research around estrangement and relational traumaWhy being seen and heard is central to healingTaking personal responsibility for our healing without self-blame or judgementFind out more about Karl's work and book: https://www.karlmelvin.com/Your Host : https://www.sharonfitzmauricemindfulness.comThanks for reading Sharon's Substack!

Series: Steadfast Under Pressure; Established, Exhorted, & Encouraged I Thessalonians 3:1–2 "Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone; 2 And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith." The Ache of a Shepherd's Heart Picture a soldier who has been pulled from the front line against his will. His unit is under fire, and he's forced to watch from a distance, restless, pacing, heart aching for the men still holding the line. That is the image of Paul in Athens. He had been driven away from Thessalonica by hostile forces (Acts 17), but his heart never left the saints. Have you recently decided to follow Jesus?

Ragnar Ache trifft doppelt und sorgt für Karnevalsstimmung in Köln: Der 1.FC Köln gewinnt gegen Mainz zum ersten Mal nach 8 Bundesliga-Spielen ohne Sieg. Jens und Viktor besprechen, was das für den „Effzeh“ bedeutet und ob die Krise der Kölner damit wirklich beendet ist. Außerdem analysieren wir natürlich den gesamten Spieltag. Wir besprechen zum Beispiel die Entlassung von Dino Toppmöller als Frankfurt-Trainer. War das der richtige Schritt? Wer könnte auf Toppmöller folgen und wie weit ist der Weg, um die Eintracht zu stabilisieren? Das 3 zu 3 gegen Werder Bremen war dabei das ausschlaggebende Spiel und auch an der Weser ist die Grundstimmung negativ. Wir diskutieren die Prognose für die Bremer. Positiv gestimmt geht der FC Bayern aus dem Spieltag. RB Leipzig spielte eine grandiose erste Halbzeit und kassierte am Ende trotzdem eine echte Packung gegen die Bayern. Wird der FCB in dieser Saison überhaupt mal ein Spiel verlieren? Und wie sehr trifft das Ergebnis RB Leipzig mit Blick auf das Ziel Champions League? Die TSG Hoffenheim schwimmt gerade auf einer echten Erfolgswelle. Tabellenplatz Drei, Sieg gegen Leverkusen – trägt die Welle die Hoffenheimer in die Champions League? Außerdem besprechen wir, was der Hamburger SV und Borussia Mönchengladbach mit dem torlosen Remis anfangen können – und ob der Last-Minute-Sieg der Dortmunder gegen St. Pauli schmeichelhaft oder doch ein gutes Spiel war. Wie ist das Unentschieden zwischen Stuttgart und dem 1.FC Union Berlin zu bewerten? Auch darüber sprechen wir ausführlich.

Pastor Charles Choe preaches on The Ache Behind Everything from Ecclesiastes 1

Have you ever felt a deep, aching longing to go home — even though you're already here?If you identify as a Starseed, Lightworker, Dragon being, or soul with a mission, this episode is for you.In this deeply embodied transmission, I speak to the unspoken grief many awakened souls carry:the feeling of not belonging on Earth, the exhaustion of being human, and the quiet desire to return to another dimension, another lifetime, another place that once felt safe.✨ In this episode, we explore:Why Starseeds feel homesick — and what “home” truly isThe root wound of separation and how it lives in the bodyThe danger of spiritual dissociation & escapismHow trauma distorts the root chakra and sense of safetyWhy grounding isn't just “touching a tree”The shift from spiritual martyr to inner queen / kingWhat it really means to create Heaven on EarthHow to come home through your body, heart, and presenceThis episode is an invitation to stop trying to escape Earth —and instead anchor your soul fully into your human vessel, reclaim your dignity, and remember why you came.You are not here to suffer for the world.You are here to steward it.You are here to belong.If this resonates, you are part of the soul family.

There are so many bittersweet flavors to our emotional landscape: our grief intermingled with relief, the tears of compassion when those who have hurt us express their regrets, the push and pull between our inner and outer worlds, the existential ache of not finding full expression in any world, the relief at expressing who we are aloud only to discover that we still only belong to ourselves, the lonely costs of success, the recognition that what was broken in our lifetime may not be made whole for hundreds more years, and a thousand more inner contradictions. Yosef's story is the story of a dreamer whose dreams came true. But even stories with the happiest endings come with an underlying ache. As we close Yosef's story in this week's Parsha, we analyze Yosef's emotional world through the astounding record of Yosef's tears, a central character in the Torah who is plainly recorded in verse after verse as weeping: sometimes in private, sometimes in public, sometimes so loudly that the entire land can hear. How do we make meaning of these tears? What story do they tell us about Yosef's experience of his life's triumphs and hardships, of the inner, emotional world that beat beneath this powerful figure, who rose from the pit to find astounding success as viceroy in Egypt, and as he released his restraint on his buried identity, expressed an emotional landscape that echoes the complexity of each of our own inner worlds?* * * * * * *To inquire about sponsorship & advertising opportunities, please email us at info@humanandholy.comTo support our work, visit humanandholy.com/sponsor.Find us on Instagram @humanandholy & subscribe to our channel to stay up to date on all our upcoming conversations ✨Human & Holy podcast is available on all podcast streaming platforms.

In this episode, I take you into the rich terrain that I have been living inside for much of this past year. I speak about how our biology and nervous systems were not designed for the amount of input, data, and stimulation we are attempting to metabolize each day. This often leads many of us to choose behaviors that help numb the overwhelm.It is a smart strategy, but it comes with a cost. Numbing pulls us out of our own lives. It creates distance in our relationships and leaves us with a quiet loneliness beneath our strength, alongside a deeper ache that keeps calling for our attention.This episode is the origin story of the Revealing Wisdom Collective, a weekly sanctuary where we strengthen the nervous system, awaken the deeper self, and let buried wisdom rise.Inside the Collective, we move through one Power Gateway at a time over the course of two full months, following a deliberate rhythm designed to soften the mind, loosen subconscious limiting beliefs, and integrate new truths into the body and bones. Doors for this membership offering opens January 13, 2026 - join anytime and catch up on through recorded sessions.Inside the Episode:• the loneliness that can stay hidden even when we are surrounded by people• why numbing is an innocent biological response, not a personal failing• the cost of living in a world that moves far faster than our nervous systems were designed to handle• how subtle freeze states disconnect us from intuition, aliveness, and self trust• the personal journey that required me to pause, slow down, and radically tend to my own system• how the Revealing Wisdom Collective was born from that deep winter of listeningA look at the Six Power Gateways inside the CollectiveCentering PowerThe power that returns you to your inner axis, the quiet, unwavering ground beneath every emotion, every choice, every storm.Relational PowerThe ability to stay rooted in yourself while meeting another with presence, transparency, and clean energetic boundaries.Self Acceptance PowerThe liberating capacity to stop waging war against yourself and to meet your humanity with tenderness, truth, and self regard.Wild PowerThe sovereign, undomesticated intelligence that dissolves internalized hierarchy, obedience, and shame so your original vitality can rise.Intuitive PowerThe subtle inner channel where truth arrives before thought, the deep knowing that guides you through mystery, timing, and right action.Erotic PowerThe sacred life force that animates your creativity, desire, vitality, and full spectrum expression, not only sexual, but inherently alive.If you have been longing for a place where you do not have to hold everything alone, where your tenderness and your power are both welcome, the Revealing Wisdom Collective was created for you.Join us here → https://www.revealingwisdom.com/collectiveOr stay connected through the Revealing Wisdom NewsletterConnect with Anne-Marie Marron: - If you have a power reclamation story to share or questions, please send them to Ask Anne-Marie https://anne-mariemarron.com/ask- Find Anne-Marie on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/anne.marie.marron/- If you wonder whether Power Reclamation Coaching is for you, book a discovery call https://calendly.com/anne-marie-marron/30-minute-consultation- For more on customized immersions with Anne-Marie, please visit: https://anne-mariemarron.com/integral-leadership-immersion

This week's scripture: Luke 1v5-25What if, every so often, Jesus invites us to carry a dream, a vision, or even an ache with us into what he calls "the secret place" in Matthew 6- trusting that quiet conversation with him, over time, will lead us toward whatever next step we're meant to take?

Pastor Michael discusses the experience of spiritual awareness in India and parallels it with Paul's feelings in Athens, where he was moved by the sight of idols and the spiritual blindness of the people, prompting him to act.

John Starke preaches from 2 Corinthians 4:16-5:5, finishing our sermon series "The Ache of Being Human".

Charlie Hall teaches that Advent invites us to honestly feel our ache, remember that Jesus' first coming waged war on sin and made us God's children, and to live with rooted hope as we long for His return to make all things new.

What happens when an Enneagram Two (or…maybe a Four?) takes a deep dive into the ache beneath our desire to be good, loved, and whole? This week, I sit down with Heath Hardesty, pastor and author of All Things Together: How Apprenticeship to Jesus Is the Way of Flourishing in a Fragmented World. What begins as a conversation about the Enneagram Two's longing to help soon unfurls into an exploration of the soul — the ache for beauty, the mystery of shame, and what it means to live authentically before God. Together we explore: The difference between helping and hiding Why our "ache" might actually be a form of divine homesickness How beauty, poetry, and the transcendent lead us toward wholeness What dies — and what's reborn — as we grow older and surrender our false selves The sacred invitation to move from doing ministry to stewarding mystery It's equal parts theology, therapy, and literary love letter. Whether you're a Two, a Four, or simply a human being trying to make sense of your inner world, this episode will remind you that becoming whole is less about striving and more about awakening.

Hi, I'm Elizabeth Perry, and this is Where It's Quiet, a podcast about returning to what's real beneath the noise. Today I'm naming something I didn't have a word for until recently: gratitude grief — that sweet, aching feeling when your heart is so full of love and thankfulness it almost hurts. I share personal moments from the Camino, a solo trip through Portugal and France, a surprise engagement, and hosting TEDx Bentonville that opened me up to a kind of joy that felt both overwhelming and unbelievably alive. We talk about why that happens: our nervous systems can actually protect us from positive overwhelm, and trauma can narrow the window in which we can fully feel. I share how EMDR therapy helped me widen that window so I could experience more gratitude, compassion, and love without immediately bracing for the fall. I also get real about how gratitude and grief can live in the same heartbeat — feeling deep gratitude for my mom and for moments I missed, and letting the sorrow for those years of numbness surface as proof that I'm learning to feel again. There's a simple practice I guide you through in the episode: settle into your body, breathe, tense and release, then bring to mind someone or something you're deeply grateful for. Let the memory become three-dimensional, notice sensations, and let gratitude and grief coexist. This kind of savoring trains your brain to tolerate more joy and connection. My invitation is gentle: let yourself sit in the warmth and the ache. Hold the love, let the tears come if they come, and remember that grief can be the evidence of a heart that has learned to love more fully. Marcus Aurelius said there's no quieter retreat than the soul — visit it often and fill it with this alive, tender capacity. If this episode moved something in you, savor it a little longer and maybe share it with someone you're grateful for. Until next time — stay gentle, stay curious, and keep returning to where it's quiet.

Few things hurt more quietly than being misunderstood, especially by the people you love most. In this episode, we talk about why being truly seen matters so much, how misunderstanding can shape the way we see ourselves, and how to find peace in knowing that not everyone will understand your story the way you wish. Let's Calm it Down in 3…2…1.

A breakthrough discovery in the 1970s was the determination of alpha-fetoprotein levels in the serum of pregnant women to detect fetuses with neural tube defects. In the case of high AFP values in maternal serum, amniocentesis was performed to determine the levels of AFP and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in the amniotic fluid to confirm the diagnosis. Currently, the ACOG states that high-quality, second-trimester fetal anatomy ultrasonography is an appropriate screening test for NTDs where routinely performed for fetal anatomic survey at 18 to 22 weeks. If optimal images of the fetal spine, intracranial anatomy, or anterior abdominal wall are not obtained (eg, fetal position or maternal obesity), MSAFP should be performed to improve detection of NTDs (ACOG Practice Bulletin No. 187: Neural Tube Defects. Committee on Practice Bulletins Obstet Gynecol. 2017). Some clinicians (as we do in our practice) order both fetal anatomy ultrasound and msAFP concurrently. What are the implications when the msAFP is elevated with a normal fetal anatomical survey? Where is this msAFP coming from? Listen in for details.1.
