In this compelling episode of Behind Beautiful Things, host Kevin welcomes Amanda for a powerful conversation about childhood trauma, healing, and restorative justice. Amanda bravely shares the difficult experiences she endured as a child and how those formative challenges shaped her path toward an extensive education in criminal law.Together, they explore the principles of restorative justice — a justice model that centers victims, prioritizes accountability, and seeks healing over punishment. Instead of pitting individuals against each other within an adversarial legal system, restorative justice focuses on dialogue, repair, and community-based solutions.This episode dives into topics including trauma recovery, criminal justice reform, victim advocacy, legal education, accountability, and alternatives to traditional prosecution. If you're interested in restorative practices, justice system reform, survivor empowerment, or the intersection of law and healing, this conversation offers insight, depth, and hope.Tune in to Behind Beautiful Things for an inspiring and informative dialogue about resilience, justice, and creating meaningful change.Please note: This episode contains descriptions of sexual assault, homocide, violence, and domestic violence.

Mark 11:23 - For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.
What if the dream feels “too big” because you haven't built the capacity to hold it yet? What if success isn't missing you—but waiting for you to feel safe enough to receive it? This week, Jessica sits down with actress Karolina Wydra (Pluribus, Sneaky Pete) to talk about the long game of manifestation. From growing up in communist Poland and internalizing scarcity and suppression, to stepping away from acting at 39 to become a mother, Karolina's story is one of surrender, self-trust, and divine timing. It's a true testimony to something central at TBM: what is meant for you will not miss you. After years of inner work, Karolina landed a life-changing role on Pluribus, fulfilling a longtime manifestation of working with Vince Gilligan. Through EMDR, nervous system regulation, Expanders, journaling, and radical honesty with herself, she shares how subconscious reprogramming helped her release the belief that her dreams were “too big” and instead expand her capacity to receive them. If you've ever feared success as much as failure, this conversation is a reminder that manifestation isn't about forcing—it's about becoming safe enough to hold what you've been calling in.

How you show up online matters more than ever and it goes far beyond a good photo.In this episode of the Soul Inspiring Business Podcast, Kara sits down with branding photographer Maureen Porto to talk about confidence, personal presence, and the powerful connection between how you see yourself and how others see you.Maureen shares her journey from investment advisor to sought-after personal brand photographer, along with the psychology behind confidence, first impressions, and why professional imagery can actually change how you think, feel, and show up in your business.If you've ever felt hesitant to put yourself out there, struggled with confidence, or wondered how your personal brand impacts your success, this conversation will give you both the mindset and practical tools to step forward with more clarity, confidence, and authenticity.Episode Topics:The transition from corporate career to purpose-driven entrepreneurshipWhy confidence is a skill you can build (not something you're born with)The neuroscience behind first impressions and personal presenceHow professional imagery influences self-perception and business successThe concept of the “confidence loop” and how small actions rewire your brainWhy personal branding is about authenticity, not perfectionWhat to wear (and avoid) for professional photos and online visibilityHow to find the right photographer for your personal brandAligning your gifts and strengths to build a business that feels meaningfulInsights:Confidence isn't a personality trait. It's a muscle that grows through small, intentional actions.Your brain forms trust and capability judgments in one-tenth of a second based on visual cues.How you see yourself directly impacts how you show up and how others respond to you.Acting confident physically can trigger your brain to actually feel confident.Small “micro-wins” outside your comfort zone create lasting confidence through a neurological feedback loop.The goal of personal branding isn't to become someone else. It's to elevate the best version of who you already are.You don't need expensive wardrobe or luxury brands. Fit, simplicity, and authenticity matter most.Meaningful work often lives at the intersection of your gifts, your passions, and the problems you care about solving.Highlights:00:00 Highlighted Keypoints01:00 Introduction and Guest Background04:14 Evolution into Branding Photography11:07 Confidence as a Skill17:04 Embodied Cognition and Photo Impact26:17 Micro-steps to Build Confidence33:17 Practical Branding Photo Guidance39:41 Client Prep and Industry Fit44:04 Finding and Referring Photographers46:50 Resources and Offer to Help50:20 Podcast episode endedResources:Maureen Porto Photography: https://maureenporto.comContact form available on the website for consultations, referrals, or marketing guidancePortfolio examples to help evaluate photography style and branding approachRecommendations and network resources for small business marketing, websites, SEO, and designIf this conversation resonated with you, take one small step outside your comfort zone this week and start showing up as the confident professional you're becoming.Connect with Maureen at https://www.maureenporto.com/ to explore branding photography or get feedback on your online presence.And if you found value in this episode, share it with a fellow business owner, subscribe to the podcast, and keep building a business that reflects your gifts, your purpose, and your authentic voice.Connect with Kara to share your thoughts on the series:Website - http://www.kcdrealestate.com/Email - kara@kdcrealestate.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/karachaffindonofrio/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/karachaffin1?_rdc=1&_rdrYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/KaraChaffinLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/karachaffin/Don't forget to visit freegiftfromkara.com for our special giveaway, the Dynamic Life Journal to help you maintain your authentic voice and intuitive wisdom while navigating the balance between technology and human connection in your business and personal life.Special Listener Offer: Unlock Your Soul-Aligned Brand with Jen CudmoreAs a gift to our Soul Inspiring Business community, I've convinced my incredible mentor and business coach, Jen Cudmore, to create an exclusive package just for you—our loyal listeners.

In this episode of The Nikki & Brie Show, Brie and Nikki sit down with the endlessly charismatic Josh Segarra to talk wrestling dreams, Broadway roots, dad life, and his latest role in Fox's Best Medicine. From starring in Abbott Elementary, She-Hulk, Scream 6, and The Other Two, to lighting up the stage on Broadway in On Your Feet, Josh has truly done it all, and somehow still makes time for school pickups and rehearsal at 4:30. We love a working dad king!Of course, we had to dive into his wrestling fandom. Josh shares how he grew up idolizing the Ultimate Warrior and why he'd absolutely say yes if WWE ever called. We're already fantasy booking Sheriff Mark with handcuffs at ringside to help The Bellas snag those tag titles. Manifestation activated! And when it comes to comedy, Josh opens up about sharpening his tools on Broadway, honoring great writing, and how the best laughs often come from truth, not improv. He also gets candid about rejection, jealousy, overthinking, and dealing with online hate, dropping wisdom that honestly feels like its own form of best medicine.Between talk of Chinese food therapy, Frosty-and-fries debates, and heartfelt reflections on fatherhood, this episode is funny, grounded, and unexpectedly inspiring. Josh reminds us that comparison is the thief of joy, that overthinking is usually fiction we write in our own heads, and that sometimes the best cure is turning off the noise and going home to the people who love you. So whether you need a laugh, a pep talk, or just a reminder that you're doing better than you think, you're going to want to press play. Call Nikki & Brie at 833-GARCIA2 and leave a voicemail!

Dr. Brent Sleasman argues that leaders who cling to certainty—predictability, control, and stable cause-and-effect—are setting themselves up to fail in today's environment. In an uncertain age, organizations must separate mission from program, experiment without over-attaching to solutions, and build teams that balance visionaries and integrators. The goal isn't chaos; it's realism, adaptability, and a mission-driven posture that can keep moving even when the map keeps changing. Key moments (timestamps) 0:24–1:17 – The premise: clinging to certainty is a low-percentage path 1:34–2:47 – What "certainty" actually means: predictability → control 5:13–8:05 – Why the "insanity" quote breaks down in uncertain environments 8:42–9:43 – The blunt warning: stability-clingers are on a path toward organizational death 11:05–12:59 – Mission vs. program: stop conflating the two 13:18–15:11 – Discipleship analogy: start with mission, program follows 15:11–16:10 – "Love the problem more than you love the solution" 16:15–20:55 – Myers-Briggs J vs P: why the "organized" leaders can still drive off a cliff 21:01–24:27 – Balance matters: visionary + integrator, apostle + teacher 27:06–28:02 – Best practice: work shoulder-to-shoulder with trusted people 28:08–29:07 – Coaching frame: explore first, then act Key ideas Certainty is the belief that you can predict outcomes. Prediction quietly becomes a demand for control. Uncertainty isn't a temporary storm—it's the climate. Acting like it's 1999 is the real risk. The "insanity" quote gets flipped: In an unstable environment, doing the same thing and expecting the same result may be the truly insane move. Mission and program are not the same thing. Programs are time-bound expressions of mission. Healthy organizations balance roles: visionaries/curiosity with integrators/stability. Tools help, but people matter more. Working together—friction and all—beats perfect assessments on paper. Quotable lines "Those that cling to certainty are set on a path that has got a low percentage of success." "Following prediction is control." "I can control the immediate and the longer-term future—and that's just not the reality today." "In an uncertain environment… the insane thing would have been doing the same thing and expecting the same result." "Those that cling to stability, those that cling to certainty, are on a path toward organizational death." "Very rarely are specific programs the mission." "You've got to love the problem more than you love the solution." "Surround yourself with people that you trust… admit that it's going to be messy." Discussion questions Where are you still operating as if your environment is stable—even though it isn't? What "program" have you accidentally treated like it is the mission? What's one experiment you could run this month that serves the mission without defending old forms? Are you more "visionary curiosity" or "stability integrator"? Who balances you? What would it look like to "love the problem" without getting addicted to your favorite solution? Listener takeaway If you need certainty to lead, you're going to be miserable right now—and you might make your organization miserable too. The better path is to anchor in mission, loosen your grip on programs, and build a team that can both explore and execute. Uncertainty doesn't require panic; it requires humility, experimentation, and the willingness to trade control for learning.

Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Larry Ellison run companies that are increasingly taking on the characteristics of independent governments. Acting as states within a state, these tech oligarchs are building powerful blocks that resist democratic regulation, for example from the EU. Is the era of liberal capitalism coming to an end? The global economy no longer revolves around rule-based competition. Today, might makes right. For contemporary tech multinationals, this means obtaining a monopoly on a planet where resources are finite, argues the French economic historian Arnaud Orain. In doing so, the current rogue capitalism of companies like Meta and Oracle harks back to the state capitalism of the Dutch East India Company in the seventeenth century.What parallels can we draw from history, and is the economic world order indeed at a tipping point? In this edition of Techdenkers, we explore with Arnaud Orain how his long historical view helps us understand the power dynamics of today's technological landscape, along with philosopher and writer Maarten Doorman and economist and America-expert Heleen Mees.Programme editor: Rosalie DielesenModerator: Lennart BooijThe Techdenkers series is provided and broadcast by De Balie and is part of our partnership with Adyen.Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For Pop Apocalypse Episode 20, Host Matthew Dillon welcomes actress, writer, producer, and activist Amy Brenneman. After earning her BA in the Comparative Study of Religion at Harvard, Amy went on to a successful acting career, with star turns in the film Heat and in television shows including The Leftovers, The Old Man, and Judging Amy (which she also wrote and produced). In this wide-ranging conversation, Amy and Matthew explore how the craft of acting, the study of religion, the practice of Jungian dreamwork, and decades of practicing active imagination have enriched one another throughout her career. They discuss the similarities between ritual and acting and how a background in comparative religion helped Amy write, build, and inhabit characters. Amy also shares what helped bring a mythic and numinous dimension to roles like Laurie Garvey in The Leftovers. They conclude by discussing Amy's current experience as a master's student at Harvard Divinity School and her research into the politics and possibilities of the Trickster. BIO: Amy Brenneman is an American actress, producer, writer, and political activist. She is known for multiple award-winning television roles, including Judging Amy (which she wrote and produced), NYPD Blue, Frasier, Heartbeat (executive producer), VEEP, and The Leftovers, as well as movie roles in Heat, Casper, Friends and Neighbors, and The Jane Austen Book Club. She was a founding member of the social justice-focused Cornerstone Theater Company and has performed in many notable theaters around the country. She starred in the world premieres of the Pulitzer Prize-nominated Rapture Blister Burn and Fake It Until You Make It, and starred in The Sound Inside, which the Los Angeles Times named one of the year's best performances. Amy has been honored by multiple activist organizations and currently serves on the Creative Council for the Center for Reproductive Rights. Amy earned a BA in the Comparative Study of Religion at Harvard University and is currently pursuing an MDiv at Harvard, researching the role of the Trickster archetype in ritual and activism.

Big moments rarely happen by accident. What looks like an overnight opportunity is usually built on years of saying yes, showing up, and doing the work when no one is watching. Long before doors open and attention follows, there are days of preparation that do not get noticed. There are small decisions to stay with the work even when results are not clear. It is easy to focus on the moment when things finally come together, but the real story is often in the steady work that made that moment possible. Many people think success is about who you know or being in the right place at the right time. Those things matter, but they are not the whole story. Opportunity often meets people who are already moving, already serving, and already building something with purpose. They are not waiting for a chance to appear. They are getting ready for it. Growth does not come from chasing attention. It comes from choosing work that matters, building real relationships, and staying committed to the process. Over time, those choices shape both the work and the person doing it. And when new doors open, it is not because of luck, but because the groundwork has already been laid. In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of three unforgettable days in San Francisco with HBCU Endzone and sharing the lessons that stayed with me long after the trip ended. This Super Bowl postgame reflection goes beyond the game and into meaningful conversations with students, a powerful sit-down with NAMI CEO Daniel Gillison Jr., and a moving talk with Hall of Famer Harry Carson about men's health and prostate cancer. Along the way, I share why purpose will always matter more than hype and how real impact is built through follow-through, collaboration, and genuine connection. If you've ever wondered how a single conversation can open the door to something bigger, this episode is for you. "Some people will hover around the green room for the opportunity to get a selfie, when the true meat and potatoes are being served in the main auditorium." – Dr. Derrick Burgess Topics Covered: (00:00:00) Introduction (00:00:26) Welcome to TimeOut with the SportsDr. Podcast (00:01:21) How HBCU Endzone opened doors and why mission matters (00:04:19) Feeling out of place and choosing the path less traveled (00:05:34) Why real connections matter more than selfies (00:06:39) The danger of chasing access instead of value (00:07:00) What football taught about fighting life's hardest battles (00:09:50) Advertisement: Struggling with your finances as a young physician?

"When someone's able to sit down and really just speak life over your vision… what you're doing is meaningful, what you're doing is impactful." "I feel that the power of collaboration is even stronger than being able to just try to do things on your own." "When you're able to help others, that makes it easier for you to be a part of other organizations as well." "My main tip for you would be to follow through, make that connection."

For most, bow-building comes from a desire to feel closer to the hunting experience. Eric Clem took a different path: Part of an underground archery competition, held after-hours in New York offices, Eric felt driven to create better performing equipment. Soon after the Brooklyn Bowyer was born. But it was only after a life changing accident, that a move to LA and a new world of hunting opportunities appeared. As strange as it sounds, it's actually possible to hunt deer at first light while the busy world of Los Angeles twinkles below.A huge thank you again to Eric for sharing his time and stories with us today!Book a bow making course at LA WoodshopFollow Eric at Brooklyn Bowyer on InstagramSubscribe to this podcast so you're always up to date.

This iteration is more faithful to the book than past seasons, perhaps that's why we enjoyed it more? Or maybe it's the acting chops of Katie Leung (Araminta) and Yerin Ha (Sophie), who absolutely kill it in both of their roles.We do have some gripes with the show in general, namely the constant jumping around to different couples who already had a whole damn season for their story. Netflix also seems to miss the mark on the subtle romance of period dramas in favor of HBO-style sex scenes.https://www.netflix.com/title/80232398Based on the novel "An Offer From A Gentleman" by Julia Quinnhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9408584-an-offer-from-a-gentleman?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=HM6dWVoWfn&rank=1
Wood Harris sits down with Carmelo Anthony and Kazeem Famuyide for a conversation that moves between basketball, acting and the discipline behind both. He breaks down how he really landed Motaw in Above the Rim, why hooping separated him from other actors and what it was like filming The Wire in Baltimore at a time when the city felt exactly like the show. Wood reflects on stepping onto set with Denzel Washington for the first time, feeling the pressure in that moment and why he believes sports is more honest than acting. He talks about Tupac's presence during Above the Rim, playing Spencer Haywood in Winning Time and the mindset that carried him from the west side of Chicago to a 30-year career. Wood also opens up about being kicked out of NYU, nearly losing everything and the turning point that forced him to bet on himself. This is a rare look at the competitor behind the characters and the perspective that shaped one of the most consistent careers in black cinema. Learn more about your ad choices.

Original Release Date: Monday 23 February 2026 Description: After discussing the latest news regarding Netflix, their attempts to purchase Warner Bros, and what the current President of the U.S.A. is demanding they do, Dean and Phil talk about more of the intriguing movies coming out in 2026 (including period pieces, biopics, and crime films). Hollywood still hasn't recovered from the dual strikes of a few years back, and with the negotiations for new contracts upcoming, the Writers Guild seems to be imploding. Dean and Phil analyze the latest labor strife. The recent movie Anaconda gets reviewed, and the French classic Amelie gets re-appraised in time for its 25th anniversary. In the return of “What We're Reading” the latest by Dan Brown and a work of historical fiction about legendary filmmaker G.W. Pabst get discussed. Finally the murders of two groundbreaking physicists has Phil troubled, so he asks Dean about whether the deaths might be part of a conspiracy. And speaking of conspiracy, Dean and Phil conclude with the latest news surrounding Ryan Coogler's reboot of “The X-Files”.

On this week's LuxeGen Group Chat, India is joined by Saroop and Nikita for a catch-up covering everything from the Winter Olympics to Disney-core fashion and celeb hot takes. First, what's actually going on at the Winter Olympics? From a Norwegian athlete publicly confessing he cheated on his girlfriend (after winning bronze…) to rumours of 10,000 condoms running out in three days and very questionable ski-jumping ‘enhancements', it's a lot. We also unpack Zayn Malik's ‘Call Her Daddy' interview and whether saying he was “never in love” with Gigi Hadid was honest… or just harsh.Plus, Celine Dion vs Rihanna (did ‘Love On The Brain' belong to her?), Amelia Dimoldenberg's upcoming feature film, and the bigger conversation around influencers-turned-actors. On the fashion front, we're obsessed with the new Mimi Webb x Disney collection at Primark – think statement accessories and vintage Mickey energy. And things we're loving? Period pants, a history-learning app that feels like Duolingo for culture and the Instagram ads draining our bank accounts.AD | In Partnership with Disney PANELIndia | @indiaagy | https://www.instagram.com/indiaagy Brandy Melville White Ashlyn Top | https://uk.brandymelville.com/products/ashlyn-top-8 Pull & Bear Barrel Fit Darted Trousers (Alternative) | https://tinyurl.com/3ajshpcj Nikkita Chadha | @nikkitachadha | https://www.instagram.com/nikkitachadha Alohas Club Suede Raspberry Leather Sneakers | https://tinyurl.com/4xkrzxy2 Saroop Sangha | @saroop.k.s | https://www.instagram.com/saroop.k.s/ Topshop Knitted Scarf Jumper (Alternative) | https://tinyurl.com/3ncxr87n Balzac Paris Baya Belt | https://balzac-paris.com/en-gb/products/ceinture-baya-noirBalzac Paris Alix Moccasins | https://tinyurl.com/mr2juatz THINGS WE'RE LOVINGDisney X Mimi Webb Mickey Mouse Cap | https://tinyurl.com/5n855n5r Disney X Mimi Webb Mickey Mouse Crew Socks | https://tinyurl.com/4rz255sv Disney X Mimi Webb Mickey Mouse Ringer Baby Tee | https://tinyurl.com/mjpdp83r Disney X Mimi Webb Mickey Mouse Shoulder Bag | https://tinyurl.com/6nkybz4r Disney X Mimi Webb Mickey Mouse Sweatshirt | https://tinyurl.com/5edbss5tModibodi Period Underwear | https://www.modibodi.co.uk/collections/periods M&S Absorbency Period Thongs | https://tidd.ly/4kOfaq3 Carelli Bambi Jacket | https://tinyurl.com/32smmc4p Hosted on Acast.

Dr. Riley Kirk welcomes Dr. Harold Han, Chief Science Officer and Co-Founder of Vertosa to explore the fascinating world of the science powering modern cannabis beverages and infused products. Known in the industry as “The Happy Chemist,” Dr. Han explains how emulsion technology solves the classic oil-and-water problem that makes cannabinoids difficult to incorporate into drinks. The conversation breaks down how water-compatible cannabinoids are created, why droplet size and consistency matter for potency and onset, and how stability challenges differ between beverages and gummies. They explore oxidation rates of major cannabinoids, packaging risks like “scalping” from can liners, and new patented approaches to preserving potencyin infused drinks. They also examine the full beverage development pipeline, from cannabinoids and infusion technology to formulation, manufacturing, testing, and distribution, highlighting the many points where potency and quality can be affected. Dr. Han clarifies the difference between nano and micro emulsions, why most commercial cannabis drinks use nano systems, and how natural emulsifiers influence formulation choices. The discussion further explores how the human body processes emulsified cannabinoids, why food (especially fat) changes edible effects, and how fast-acting beverages work at a physiological level.

In this episode, Steph explores the concept of personal power and the importance of intentional impact in our lives. She discusses how many individuals live below their potential due to a lack of self-awareness and ownership of their actions. She describes behaviors that make us feel powerless, like gossiping, judging, criticizing, and blaming. The conversation emphasizes the need for self-reflection, courage, and the practice of being impact ready, which is a continuous journey rather than a destination. Steph challenges listeners to consider how they can show up in their lives with intention and ownership, ultimately leading to greater freedom and fulfillment.Get more coaching nuggets and real-life application by signing up for "The Impact Effect" newsletter at stephsaffer.comInterested in individual coaching?

This is a special Mommywood recut — and honestly, one that hits differently now.When this conversation was first recorded, my daughter was only ten weeks old and I was deep in new-mom survival mode, trying to figure out how acting and motherhood were supposed to exist in the same life. Meanwhile, Hannah Hines was already navigating the preschool years, self-tapes, childcare logistics, and the reality of keeping a creative career going after becoming a parent.In this episode we talk about:• how actors actually schedule auditions with a baby• building a “village” when you don't have family nearby• the identity shift that comes with motherhood• pandemic isolation with a toddler• day jobs and financial survival as an actor parent• returning to work postpartum• and Hannah's unexpected career pivot into screenwritingSince recording, Hannah and I have actually become real-life friends (yes, even a book club together), which makes this conversation feel even more special.If you've ever wondered whether you can still pursue acting after having a child — this episode is for you.
If fat loss feels impossible, the issue may not be calories or exercise. What if that resistance isn't a failure of willpower or metabolism, but a protective response from your body? On today's show, we explore how body fat acts as a biological buffer, safely storing toxins, excess hormones, and inflammatory compounds when detox pathways are overwhelmed. We'll go over why forcing fat loss too quickly can backfire, how supporting lymphatic flow and liver detoxification plays a key role in sustainable weight loss, and what foundational steps need to be in place before the body is ready to let go of stored fat. So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3659 to learn why your stubborn body fat is acting as a buffer and how to unblock it.

Matt delves into the world of REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD), a condition at the frontiers of sleep science. Normally, the brain dreams while atonia paralyzes the body in a neural magic act that is managed by brainstem nuclei activating inhibitory "brakes" in the spinal cord. When this circuit fails, the motor system remains active, enacting nightmares in real-time.RBD is hazardous - 10% of patients sustain injuries requiring medical intervention or hospitalization. It is a prodromal synucleinopathy where misfolded proteins erode the brain's architecture and 50% of patients develop Parkinson's or Lewy body dementia within a decade. Matt concludes by noting that new skin biopsy biomarkers like Syn-One now offer hope for early detection.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.One of today's sponsors, LMNT, offers a science-based electrolyte drink with no sugar or artificial ingredients.
