When Kelsey and Frankie Dame couldn't conceive naturally, they were offered IVF as the obvious solution. But as believers, they didn't want to assume that they should pursue IVF just because they could. Instead, they asked, “What does the Christian worldview say about this?” Their journey through infertility is thought-provoking and redemptive. It helps us think well about navigating conversations about IVF in a culture where our ethics haven't caught up to our technology.    Show Notes  Nightlight Christian adoptions  National Embryonic Donation Center in Tennessee  Katie Faust  Truth Rising  Into the Deep: An Unlikely Catholic Conversion by Abigail Favale  Well Read Mom  The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo __________ The Strong Women Podcast is a product of the Colson Center, which equips Christians to live out their faith with clarity, confidence, and courage in this cultural moment.

Welcome to the What to Expect While Fostering and Adopting podcast. I'm Christine Marie — adoptive mom, former foster parent, and biblical mindset coach. Whether you're in the early stages of foster care, navigating adoption, or standing in a season of unknowns — this space was created for you. Today's episode is different. It's not polished or perfectly planned — it's real. It's raw. It's what I'm walking through right now. Last night, my daughter chose to leave. And after years of fighting, praying, loving, and believing for healing, I came to a place I never thought I'd be: surrender. Not because I stopped loving her — but because love doesn't force. Love releases. Love trusts. This episode is a reflection on what it means to surrender your child to God when nothing makes sense. It's for the mama who's exhausted. The one who's grieving. The one who has done everything “right” and still feels like it's falling apart. If you've ever had to release control, grieve what could have been, or trust God with the child you love — I pray this message meets you in that sacred space. ☕ Grab your coffee and settle in — this one will stretch you, strengthen you, and remind you why love is always worth it.   XO-Christine

Using a school in Matabeleland North as a case study, Smithers analyzes how school tours, often motivated by the need for funding, navigate the complexities of authenticity. Adopting a unique interdisciplinary approach, the book reveals the challenges inherent in tourism partnerships that include philanthropic elements and unpacks the use of stereotypical cultural images. The book provides a multi-faceted view by exploring these dynamics through the eyes of students, teachers, school leaders, and tourism professionals. Learn more about your ad choices.

Why Your Child's 'Growing Pains' Are A Warning Sign for Pelvic Misalignment | The Prime Podcast - Episode 339 Is your child waking up at night complaining of deep, aching leg pain? As a parent, you've likely been told it's just "growing pains"—a normal phase they'll eventually outgrow. But what if that common advice is wrong? In this crucial episode of The Prime Podcast (Episode 339), Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie Wies expose the truth behind this widespread misconception. They reveal why "growing pains" are often a major warning sign of an underlying structural issue: pelvic misalignment. Learn how simple childhood tumbles and falls can create imbalances in the pelvis, leading to nervous system interference and causing the frustrating, recurring leg pain that keeps your child (and you) up at night. Discover the tell-tale signs that the pain isn't from growth, such as when it consistently affects only one leg. The doctors explain how this core issue can be connected to other common childhood conditions like chronic constipation, early motor delays, scoliosis (curvature of the spine), and even painful PMS in the teen years. Most importantly, get empowered with simple, at-home checks you can perform to spot these subtle imbalances in your child's posture and muscle development. Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie advocate for a proactive, natural approach to health that addresses the root cause of the pain, rather than just masking the symptoms with medication. If you're tired of feeling helpless and are looking for real solutions for your child's discomfort, this episode provides the valuable insights and actionable steps you need to foster a foundation of true health and proper alignment for your family. MEDICAL TERMS EXPLAINED Subluxation: A chiropractic term for a misalignment or altered position of the vertebrae or pelvic bones, which can interfere with the nervous system's ability to communicate effectively with the rest of the body. Pelvic Misalignment: A condition where the pelvis is not level, balanced, or symmetrical. This forces the body to compensate for the imbalance, often leading to uneven weight distribution, muscle strain, joint dysfunction, and pain, particularly in the lower back and legs. Nervous System Interference: When a subluxation or misalignment puts pressure on, irritates, or distorts nerves, it disrupts the flow of vital information between the brain and the body. This interference can negatively impact muscle function, organ health, developmental milestones, and overall well-being. KEY TAKEAWAYS Pain is NOT a normal part of growth; it is a critical signal that indicates an underlying issue. "Growing pains" that consistently occur on one side of the body are a strong indicator of a structural imbalance, not uniform growth. The primary cause of these pains is frequently an unlevel or misaligned pelvis, often resulting from accumulated falls and minor traumas experienced throughout childhood.

Send us a textAre your consultancy's processes holding back your growth potential? In this revealing episode of the Consulting Growth Podcast, we dive deep into how Professional Service Automation (PSA) software can transform small and medium-sized consultancies.Guest Behram Khan, co-founder of Avaza PSA software, shares how the right systems can help consultancies escape the "spreadsheet trap" that drains productivity and profits. Born from his own frustrations as a project manager, Khan explains how fragmented processes using separate tools for tasks, communication, time tracking, and invoicing create costly inefficiencies that compound as businesses grow.The benefits of implementing a PSA system are substantial and measurable. Most consultancies see a 5-10% improvement in billable resource utilization – equivalent to gaining an extra team member without additional salary costs. Status meetings become more focused, email threads more manageable, and project profitability more visible. Perhaps most critically for growing firms, PSA systems significantly improve cash flow through streamlined invoicing and payment processes.Khan makes a compelling case for early PSA adoption: "Adopting a PSA tool should be part of the initial business setup." Starting with basic functionality and expanding as you grow establishes solid processes before bad habits form. The ideal solution balances ease of use with sufficient flexibility to adapt to your specific workflows.Beyond technology, Khan offers valuable advice for consultancy growth: invest time researching how to reach prospective clients, maintain consistent marketing messaging with clear calls to action, keep existing customers happy through clear communication, and automate repetitive activities wherever possible. Most importantly, ensure your business can function smoothly even without you present – a key indicator of a truly valuable consultancy.Ready to transform your consultancy operations?

Send Crystal a text letting her know what you thought about the show!This season of Forces for Nature is extra special- all of the guests are participants in the Emerging Wildlife Conservation Leaders (EWCL) program, a global network of conservationists who are pushing the boundaries of how people and wildlife can thrive together. As EWCL celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, I'm spotlighting some of the inspiring individuals whose work is shaping the future of conservation.To kick things off, I sat down with Dr. Hugo Pereira, a field veterinarian with the Mozambique Wildlife Alliance. Hugo's job might sound like it's all about the animals- from darting elephants, to rescuing orphaned rhinos, and rehabilitating pangolins- but as he makes clear, conservation is just as much about people. In Mozambique, communities and wildlife share the same land, which means Hugo's work often starts with listening to frustrations, building trust, and co-creating solutions that reduce conflict and create opportunity. And while you may never lift a rhino calf into a helicopter or pull an elephant out of the mud, you probably do encounter your own version of human–wildlife conflict whether it's deer eating your garden, coyotes prowling your neighborhood, or simply the daily choices of how your community shares space with nature. Hugo's “people-first” approach shows us that coexistence starts with compassion, creativity, and persistence and the principles he lives by in the savannas of Mozambique are the same ones that can guide us in our own backyards.HighlightsThe adrenaline and precision behind rescuing a rhino calf orphaned by poachers.How Hugo and the Mozambique Wildlife Alliance adapt with creativity in the field to save animals in crisis.Why a “people-first” approach is essential for reducing human-wildlife conflict and creating space for coexistence.What YOU Can DoVolunteer your skills to support local zoos or conservation institutions.Share conservation stories on social media. Spreading the right information helps raise awareness and attract wider support. Donate to conservation organizations.Educate yourself about organizations in your own area: Who they are, why they do what they do, and what would happen if they didn't exist. This awareness builds empathy and informed support.Get informed about local wildlife and why they're present. Understanding why deer, coyotes, or other species show up in neighborhoods helps people move from frustration to tolerance.Modify your environment to prevent conflict:Build or adjust fences to keep animals out of gardens or crops.Use deterrents like flashlights, noises, or scarecrows, depending on the species.Recognize “tolerance” as an important step: we don't have to love the wildlife around us, but learning to tolerate them is the bridge toward coexistence.Want a free guide to help you become a force for nature?

In this deeply moving and inspiring episode of the Tough Girl Podcast, we're joined by Sophie Pierce, a 32-year-old social worker from Pembrokeshire, West Wales, who made history in March 2025 as the first person with Cystic Fibrosis to row an ocean. Diagnosed at just 3 months old, Sophie has lived with the challenges of a genetic condition that affects her lungs and digestive system and once carried a life expectancy of under 30 years. But Sophie's story is not defined by limitation—it's a bold testament to resilience, courage, and the power of hope. From working in fostering services to hiking the Welsh coast with her dogs, swimming in cold water, and sleeping in her campervan—Sophie has never shied away from living life on her terms.  In this episode, she opens up about the life-changing impact of the Kaftrio drug trial, how she overcame mental health struggles, and what it truly meant to embrace life beyond the horizon by rowing across the Atlantic. She shares the highs and lows of the row: the months of preparation, team dynamics, magical moments at sea, and how it feels to return to "normal life" after an extraordinary adventure. Sophie's message is powerful and universal—you are capable of so much more than you think. If you're looking for inspiration, perspective, and an honest exploration of living—and thriving—with a life-limiting condition, this episode is not to be missed.  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

We've spent the last few years talking about mental health at work like it's always a crisis—trauma, burnout, damage done. Bryan Power, Head of People at Nextdoor, thinks that framing actually makes the conversation harder. Instead, what if we positioned mental health as something everyone can access, not just people in distress? In this episode, we cut through the jargon and look at resilience, performance, and the everyday practices that actually help people do their best work.Bryan and I also dig into the cultural pendulum swing from “bring your whole self to work” to “respect my boundaries,” the generational divides shaping expectations around connection, and how AI is reshaping not just jobs, but how leaders set boundaries, communicate, and build culture. Spoiler: the hot takes on AI are everywhere, but the real opportunity isn't doing more with less—it's doing more with the same.Related Links:Join the People Managing People community forumSubscribe to the newsletter to get our latest articles and podcastsConnect with Bryan on LinkedInCheck out NextdoorSupport the show

This might just be the best mountain bike podshow you've ever hate-listened to. That's right—podshow, because podcasts are boring and suck, and furthermore, calling it a podcast would be an insult to the fine tradition of nonsense, awkward silences, and self-inflicted pain we serve up with all the grace of Boston Rob “making it clap” at dance parties (yes, that actually happened).  On this episode, we're uniting mountain bikers the best way we know how: by traumatizing Boston Rob with potential electrocution every time he laughs or drops an F-bomb (so basically, every ten seconds), peppering our guest Sergi “Ride Caviar” Massot with questions he doesn't want to answer, and dissecting the fine art of refusing to do something scary the first time, unless it's stealing a Monster fridge while blacked out after a BMX event (best Sergi story yet). There's enough childish conversation about absolute carnage on trails, dog tributes, and existential dread over medical bills to make you feel at home, disrespected, and weirdly motivated, all at once. So if you thought you were signing up for thoughtful, nuanced mountain bike commentary, you're almost as dumb as the hosts. Welcome to the Gnar Couch Podshow—the only podshow where the runtime is matched only by the length of our collective hospital bills. Hit play. Enjoy the accompanying mental degradation.

In an era where artificial intelligence and digital solutions are rapidly reshaping the business landscape, leaders are confronted with both exciting opportunities and significant challenges. Leveraging AI isn't just about adopting flashy new tools or automating mundane tasks; it's about reimagining leadership itself.

Understanding and embracing AI is no longer optional. It is the new leadership literacy—akin to financial literacy in decades past. Leaders who develop this skill set can cultivate a culture of curiosity, resilience, and proactive problem-solving, all while keeping humanity at the core of their organizations. This episode dives deep into actionable strategies for AI adoption, ways to champion a positive culture amidst technological change, and future trends that every leader needs to track.

Identity is the root cause of over 70% of all security incidents, yet many organizations still rely on fundamentally flawed authentication methods. In this episode, Jasson Casey, CEO and co-founder of Beyond Identity, explains why even common forms of MFA are insufficient and why any system that relies on a "secret moving" is vulnerable to attack.The conversation dives deep into the architectural shift needed to truly secure identity: moving from probabilistic tools to deterministic proof. Jasson breaks down how to leverage the hardware-backed secure enclaves (like TPMs and the Secure Enclave) that already exist in our devices to create un-phishable, device-bound credentials that can't be stolen or copied.We also explore how this approach provides a necessary defense against the next wave of AI-enabled threats, including deepfakes and hyper-realistic social engineering attacks that will make it nearly impossible for humans to spot the difference.Guest Socials -⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jasson's LinkedinPodcast Twitter - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@CloudSecPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you want to watch videos of this LIVE STREAMED episode and past episodes - Check out our other Cloud Security Social Channels:-⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Podcast- Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security BootCamp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you are interested in AI Cybersecurity, you can check out our sister podcast -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ AI Cybersecurity PodcastQuestions asked:(00:00) Introduction(02:10) Who is Jasson Casey?(04:00) What is the 2025 Version of IAM?(07:15) Why Hasn't The Identity Problem Been Solved?(08:00) The Fundamental Flaw: Relying on Secrets That Move(10:00) The Solution: Un-phishable, Hardware-Backed Identity(12:15) Why Your Current MFA is Insufficient and Easily Exploited(14:42) The Apple Pay Analogy: How Secure Identity Already Works in Your Pocket(18:58) The "Aha!"

Despite some fearing it threatens the industry's very existence, Artificial Intelligence is quickly becoming a commonly used tool in film and television production. Tasks that would once take days or even weeks can now be completed in mere minutes thanks to AI. This has some industry players jumpy, worried that their roles may soon become redundant, but others see the possibility for creativity to flourish without the need for huge Hollywood-style studios. But with few rules of regulations in place to control the rapidly evolving tech, there are calls for the government here to do more. Evie Richardson reports.

If you want to lose body fat and feel leaner and stronger, it's easier than you think. There's no single approach that works for everyone, but once the pieces are in place, the process isn't complicated. The real challenge is staying consistent.In this episode, I break down the essentials: the most effective combination of exercise and nutrition, the best workouts for fat loss, and the biggest mistake people make with food.The research is clear: cutting calories without changing activity leads to muscle loss, not just fat. And muscle is gold for your health. To protect it, you need a smart mix of strength training, cardio, and higher protein intake. I'll walk you through the evidence and show you exactly why this works.We'll cover two proven strategies:Calorie restriction paired with strength training, with progressive overload and consistency.Mixed exercise (strength plus cardio) with higher protein intake of 1.1–1.7 grams per kilogram of body weight.Both approaches work, but combining all three—strength, cardio, and nutrition—delivers the best results. From there, it's just fine-tuning.When it comes to strength training, almost any plan works if you stick to progression, volume, and smart exercise selection. But for women over 40, combining compound movements with single joint exercises is especially powerful, producing a stronger hormonal response and better results.The key is following a structured program week after week. Random workouts from social media won't cut it.On the nutrition side, fat loss requires a calorie deficit. You need to burn more than you consume. For most of my clients, that's just 300–500 calories per day. It doesn't mean cutting out favorite foods or going extreme. Balanced macronutrients make it easier and help reduce fatigue, cravings, and mood swings.One common pitfall is eating clean during the week, then loosening up too much on weekends. Even small surpluses can wipe out progress. Adopting a 7-day approach instead of a 5-day one changes everything. You can still enjoy weekends, but being intentional and consistent makes results come much faster.If this all feels overwhelming, you don't have to go it alone. Coaching can make the process simple and sustainable. And stay tuned—I'll be hosting a free three-day live workshop called Midlife Muscle Mastery this September.

Segment 1: • 77% of Gen Z brought a parent to a job interview—”lawnmower parenting” at its peak. • Parents are doing kids' chores and even handling workplace disputes for them. • Kid-centered homes are crippling resilience and robbing work ethic. Segment 2: • Hard work is essential for fulfillment, but kids are being shielded from it. • Failure is a necessary teacher—Christian parents must resist overprotection. • True maturity comes from responsibility, not comfort. Segment 3: • “Neurodiversity” is being used as a catch-all term with political baggage. • No uniform criteria exist—definitions are fluid and agenda-driven. • Adopting secular therapeutic labels in the church risks compromising truth. Segment 4: • Venezuela hosts a massive “March for Jesus” rally. • A Baltimore judge gives no jail time for assault of elderly pro-life advocates. • 1 in 5 pastors have considered self-harm or suicide in the last year. ___ Thanks for listening!
