This is part 2 of a two-part interview with Mary Ruddick. You can listen to part 1 here.I really enjoyed my conversation with Mary Ruddick. She's a practicing nutritionist and understands what works in “real life” versus what works in theory. We talked about what we're seeing in our practices and what has been working for our patients. Mary Ruddick is a seasoned medical nutritionist, researcher, and philanthropist who specializes in metabolic, immune, and nervous system disorders. She spent the last several years traveling throughout Africa, the Blue Zones, and throughout remote regions of the world to observe the diets of those not affected by chronic, infectious, or emergent disease. She is currently studying with tribes throughout Latin and South America while concurrently conducting a twelve-month study on Neuropathy in the States.We discuss the following:0:52 Thoughts on microbiome.

LADANIVA - "Vay Aman" from the 2020 EP Ladaniva on Planete B. Ladaniva is the musical partnership between Armenian singer Jacqueline Baghdasaryan and French multi-instrumentalist Louis Thomas. Founded by the duo in 2019, they went viral in the early days of the pandemic with the release of the video for our Song of the Day, “Vay Aman.” Set in a sunny locale with faces full of joy, it's hard not to smile while watching their effervescent playing. Ladaniva's music takes influences from all around the world, from traditional Balkan music to maloya, jazz and reggae, with strong roots in Armenian folk. It reflects Baghdasaryan's DNA, of Armenian and Belarussian descent while Thomas came from a family of musicians and began to play trumpet at the age of 7. After a jazz course at the conservatory, he traveled with his instruments around Africa and Latin America and got introduced to a long list of musical genres through meetings with traditional musicians. The two fused their backgrounds and styles after meeting in Lille, France, where Baghdasaryan is a vocal teacher at the MusicaLille music school.  Ladaniva played the Netherlands-based non-profit showcase for European artists Eurosonic Noorderslag (ESNS) this past weekend, where they were also awarded with the esteemed prize of Public Choice Award for the Music Moves Europe Awards.

Do not eat the California newt: The safest newt to handle is this toy newt. I really want one: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week's topic is a suggestion from Enzo, who wants to learn about newts “from least dangerous to most dangerous.” There are at least 60 species of newt known with more being discovered every year, but I'll do my best to hit the highlights. A newt is a type of salamander, specifically a semi-aquatic salamander in the subfamily Pleurodelinae. All newts are salamanders but not all salamanders are newts. Newts live throughout much of the northern hemisphere, including northern Africa and the Middle East, Eurasia, and North America. Female newts lay their eggs in freshwater, usually attaching them to vegetation or in little crevices in rocks. A few weeks later, the eggs hatch into larvae with external gills. The larvae are called tadpoles like frog larvae, and they mostly eat algae and tiny insects. They metamorphose over several months just like frogs do when they develop from tadpoles, but where frogs develop their hind legs first, newt tadpoles develop front legs first. The newt tadpole finally absorbs its gills and grows lungs instead, at which point it emerges from the water as an immature newt called an eft. Efts are juvenile newts and live exclusively on land, although like other amphibians they have to keep their skin damp so you'll usually find them in leaf litter and under rotting logs. Efts that live in North America return to the water when they become full adults, but most newts in other parts of the world stay on land the rest of their lives except during breeding season. Efts and adult newts eat worms, insects and insect larvae, slugs, frog tadpoles, and any other small animals they can catch. The Corsican brook salamander is a type of newt that lives on the island of Corsica in the Mediterranean Sea. It grows about five inches long at most, or 13 cm, and is brown or olive-green, sometimes with a mottled pattern of orange or red on its back. It's an exception to the rule that newts outside of North America usually live their adult lives on land. Not only does the Corsican brook salamander live in freshwater most of the time as an adult, it doesn't even have working lungs. It spends most of its time in fast-moving streams and rivers in higher elevations, where it absorbs oxygen from the water through its skin. As Enzo undoubtedly knows, many newts produce toxins. This is why it's not a good idea to handle a newt, or any other amphibian for that matter, unless you're absolutely certain it's a species that's not toxic. In most cases, a newt's toxin won't hurt you if it just touches your skin, but if it gets in a cut or if you have some of the toxin on your finger and then rub your eye or put your finger in your mouth, the toxin can make you really sick. Some newts are even deadly. The Corsican brook salamander we just talked about is not toxic, so we'll call it the least dangerous newt. The smooth newt, on the other hand, produces a relatively mild toxin. You'd have to actually eat a bunch of smooth newts to get sick from its toxins,

In the years between 1999 and 2020, fewer coups took place than in previous decades. Many hoped they'd been largely consigned to history. But in 2021 it seemed like coups were becoming a regular event once again. In Mali, Sudan and Guinea, governments were overthrown by the military. And there was an attempt to do so in Niger. So, is this a new trend? Are coups really on the rise in Africa? #AfricaDaily

On COI #220, Kyle Anzalone discusses the recent talks between Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. While no deal was reached, the two diplomats were able to make progress on limited issues. However, after the talks ended, America resumed its hostile policy by promising more weapons to Ukraine.  Kyle breaks down the recent CIA report on Havana Syndrome. The report - much to the displeasure of the mainstream media - finds HS is not caused by a foreign power.  Kyle updates the fallout from Obama's Libya War. Chaos and war have spread through Africa's Sahel in Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, and Chad. America has long backed France's terror war in the region. Biden sought to pull the U.S. from France's fight to maintain control over its former colonies. Though the administration ultimately increased America's support for the war to appease France after the AUKUS deal scuttled Paris' submarine agreement with Australia.  Odysee Rumble  Donate LBRY Credits bTTEiLoteVdMbLS7YqDVSZyjEY1eMgW7CP Donate Bitcoin 36PP4kT28jjUZcL44dXDonFwrVVDHntsrk Donate Bitcoin Cash Qp6gznu4xm97cj7j9vqepqxcfuctq2exvvqu7aamz6 Patreon Subscribe Star YouTube Facebook  Twitter  MeWe Apple Podcast  Amazon Music Google Podcasts Spotify iHeart Radio Support Our Sponsor Visit Paloma Verde and use code PEACE for 25% off our CBD

Today I'm joined by an incredible woman named Robin Landsong. Her story is one of literal hell and miraculous survival. By age 8 she had already experienced such tremendous abuse and trauma. She found herself being the victim of an abduction and survived several near death experiences in Africa.She was hiding in a tree, after escaping a harrowing situation, when a woman in the village began singing to her. She didn't understand the language, but she felt a sense of safety and vitality awakening inside of her.She began healing, only to endure another decade of abuse and trauma until she left home and reconnected to healing her trauma for another 17 years until she developed her own form of trauma healing.For more information, you can find Robin at one of these links below:Her WebsiteHer Instagram PageHer YouTube Page

When most people think of the prohibition era, they think of speakeasies, rum runners, and backwoods fundamentalists railing about the ills of strong drink. In other words, in the popular imagination, it is a peculiarly American history.Yet, as Mark Lawrence Schrad shows in Smashing the Liquor Machine, the conventional scholarship on prohibition is extremely misleading for a simple reason: American prohibition was just one piece of a global phenomenon. Schrad's pathbreaking history of prohibition looks at the anti-alcohol movement around the globe through the experiences of pro-temperance leaders like Vladimir Lenin, Leo Tolstoy, Thomás Masaryk, Kemal Atatürk, Mahatma Gandhi, and anti-colonial activists across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Schrad argues that temperance wasn't "American exceptionalism" at all, but rather one of the most broad-based and successful transnational social movements of the modern era. In fact, Schrad offers a fundamental re-appraisal of this colorful era to reveal that temperance forces frequently aligned with progressivism, social justice, liberal self-determination, democraticsocialism, labor rights, women's rights, and indigenous rights. Placing the temperance movement in a deep global context, forces us to fundamentally rethink its role in opposing colonial exploitation throughout American history as well. Prohibitionism united Native American chiefs like Little Turtle and Black Hawk; African-American leaders Frederick Douglass, Ida Wells, and Booker T. Washington; suffragists Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Frances Willard; progressives from William Lloyd Garrison to William Jennings Bryan; writers F.E.W. Harper and Upton Sinclair, and even American presidents from Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln to Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. Progressives rather than puritans, the global temperance movement advocated communal self-protection against the corrupt and predatory “liquor machine” that had become exceedingly rich off the misery and addictions of the poor around the world, from the slums of South Asia to the beerhalls of Central Europe to the Native American reservations of the United States.Unlike many traditional "dry" histories, Smashing the Liquor Machine gives voice to minority and subaltern figures who resisted the global liquor industry, and further highlights that the impulses that led to the temperance movement were far more progressive and variegated than American readers havebeen led to believe.HOST:  Rob MellonFEATURED BREW:  Blah, Blah, Blah West Coast IPA, 21st Amendment Brewery, San Leandro, CaliforniaBOOK:  Smashing the Liquor Machine: A Global History of Prohibitionhttps://www.amazon.com/Smashing-Liquor-Machine-History-Prohibition/dp/0190841575/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1BBARE9VWUYKL&keywords=smashing+the+liquor+machine+a+global+history+of+prohibition&qid=1642555938&sprefix=smashing+the+li%2Caps%2C398&sr=8-1MUSIC:  Bones Forkhttps://bonesfork.com/

Bible Reading: Matthew 25:34-40; Philippians 2:4Charles stared out the window. He couldn't stop thinking about the Bible verse Pastor Todd read in church about helping those in need. He turned to his dad. "Dad? I want to help."Dad looked up from his computer. "You lost me, bud.""Pastor Todd talked about food shortages in Africa and read a verse about helping people in need," Charles said. "Kids are going to bed hungry--kids like me and Lucy. I want to help.""Me too!" Lucy piped up.Charles sighed. Lucy was too little to understand. She just wanted to do whatever he did."What about a bake sale?" Charles said. "The money could go to buy a goat or chickens. They can provide milk or eggs for a whole village!""That's a great idea," Dad said.Charles grinned. "I'm going to make our famous coconut-chocolate bites.""Me too!" Lucy threw her hands in the air. "I'll get my apron!"Charles groaned as Lucy skipped off to the kitchen. "Dad! Tell Lucy she can't help.""Why not?" Dad asked."Because she's too little. She never actually helps, Dad! She'll ruin everything.""She isn't the best helping hand, is she?" Dad winked at him. "Reminds me of someone else. Remember the first time we baked our famous coconut-chocolate bites together?""Yeah. You let me pour in the coconut." Charles wrinkled his nose. "Ohhh. My only job was to pour in the coconut."Dad laughed. "You were a big help back then. Charles, God doesn't actually need our help to feed the poor. He's God--He can do anything! But He wants to include us in His work because we're His children and can help point others to Jesus. And sometimes those who need a helping hand are closer than we think. Sometimes it's someone like your sister who wants to be included and help others too."Lucy burst into the room, wearing her pink and purple apron. "Ready! What's my job, Charles?" Charles led the way to the kitchen. "How would you like to pour in the coconut?"Lucy squealed. "Yes!"Charles smiled. "Let's go wash our hands." -Maria AntoniaHow About You?Do you want to help others? That's great! Even though God is all-powerful and doesn't really need our helping hands, He wants to include us in His work because we're part of His family. When we help and care for others, we're showing them His love. So whether you help feed the hungry or just show patience to someone else, you are doing it for Jesus. Today's Key Verse:Don't forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God. (NLT) (Hebrews 13:16)Today's Key Thought:Help those in need

They say thoughts create our reality. But because of ego, our mind can sometimes be unreliable and untrustworthy. It produces a superficial fear that disconnects us from the voice of our intuition. That said, the only way to tune into your purpose is to look inwards and reconnect with your true self. All this takes is pausing, embracing stillness, and returning to your center. This energy shift then manifests itself into different aspects of our lives.In this episode, 3-time New York Times bestselling author Kimberly Snyder joins us to talk about her new book. Kimberly candidly shares the life experiences that led her to write books and the yogic path. She discusses teachings and practices that will allow us to tune into our purpose and connect with our true self. Finally, Kimberly expands on how ego manifests and differentiates between surface versus true confidence.If you want to know how you can connect with your true self, then tune in to this episode!

She stayed in Africa for seven months and Asia for 18 months with little money.●Kimberly grew up as a mixed-race in an almost 100% Caucasian town. She never felt like she fit in.●India was the place that had the most impact on her. It is where she learned about yoga and meditation for the first time.●The yogic science teaches about energy concentration and withdrawal and connecting to the true self.Stepping into the Flow●She learned and started practicing the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda.●Kimberly came back to the US three years later broke and still lost. She sublet a place and returned to teaching Yoga Asana and nutrition school.●The Teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda helped her create something out of nothing.●She started stepping into the flow upon creating her free WordPress blog. It spread out to New York City shortly after telling her yoga students about it.●Kimberly eventually set out to work with celebrities and appeared on Good Morning America and Dr. Oz regularly.Getting into Writing Books●Her first book deal with HarperCollins was The Beauty Detox Solution, which sold a million copies.●The second book she wrote was a complete book, followed by the third book about chakra called “The Beauty Detox Power”.●She co-wrote her third book “Radical Beauty” with Deepak Chopra. It was about Ayurveda and spirituality.●The fifth book, "The Beauty Detox Power" was about the mind and body.●"You Are More Than You Think You Are" is Kimberly's full playbook. She signed the book deal three days after giving birth to her second son.Tuning into Our Purpose●You Are More Than You Think You Are is a guidebook. It teaches about practices, techniques, and teachings for creating in life.●Connecting with the true self is the first step to finding our purpose.●Thoughts can both be supportive and unsupportive. It goes back to our ego and how we think of ourselves.●Wayne Dyer: 2% of who we are is the outer shell of looking and doing. The true self is our formless, stable, courageous, and infinitely creative part.●The true self is the voice of our intuition, heart, and guts. Meanwhile, the ego is often fear-based and keeps us small and limited.How to Connect With Our True Self●We can connect with our true selves through stillness and coming back to our center.●The solution is not at the same place as the problem. What is needed is to balance our time in outer doing and conduct practices of inner connection.●Kimberly's Practical Enlightenment Meditation is only around 7 to 8 minutes. It allows you to turn inward, withdraw your senses, and connect in.●It is a great idea to do journaling after a meditation session.●Strengthening our dynamic allows us to gain greater flow and energy and get powerful at manifesting.Discerning Between Ego and Intuition●Ego is about pushing; living from intuition is like a river that is flowing.●The ego is a trickster that creates fear and makes our thoughts unreliable. The one clear channel we can rely on is the body's wisdom.●The true self is speaking when our body feels expansive; tightness and constriction mean we are aligning with the ego.●It is critical to pause, make a shift, and recognize the feeling in our body when we are identifying with our ego. It is experiential.Applying the Practices from the Book●The actual application of the practices from the book is critical to experiencing an energy shift in your life.●Kimberly's rock bottom period happened when she lost her mom to cancer and became a single mom shortly after.●A monk from the Self-Realization Fellowship advised her to treat her home like an ashram for five months. She went deep into practicing teachings from ancient texts.●Kimberly rose out of grief five months after. She developed a deep sense of trust and wholeness.●Listen to the full episode to hear how Kimberly met her husband after connecting with her true self!Dealing with Unsupportive People●Setting boundaries is not about keeping out what we do not want. Energy is about keeping what we want.●State your boundaries from a place of clarity while keeping the love and firmness in your voice. That way, the other person will know it's a non-negotiable.●Knowing the true self means knowing that you do not have to defend or explain yourself. ●People respond differently when you practice the power of autonomy. It also comes from a deep place of deserving.Where Real Confidence Stems from●The root of all confident issues goes back to identifying with the ego.●Surface confidence is different from real confidence. Real confidence comes down to the statement: “I am what I am.” ●It's about being confident for being alive and being a unique creation of spirit. Nothing can take this core part away from us.●Our self-worth should come from this inner place. It creates a deep sense of naturalness and easefulness that draws people and harmony in.How Kimberly Feels Radically Loved●We all have different ideas of love that we form as children.●Feeling radically loved is a heart-bursting, open, and unconditional love that comes from the practice of tuning in.●It's the radical understanding that we need to do nothing for love; we just need to be who we are.●It's a beautiful gift to find love just by being in the fullness of the moment.●The world would become brighter and more connected if everyone had access to their inner peace.5 Powerful Quotes[09:59] “It's all around the central theme though, which is really connecting with the true self. So I think when people are searching for purpose, or they're trying to create what they want in their life, we need to talk about this.”[11:31] "The thoughts that come from out here, the ego, are often fear-based, Rosie. They keep us small and limited. They tell us, it's trying to keep us safe, in a sense, the ego is, but a lot of it is based on limitation."[16:34] "The ego is like a trickster. So it starts to put these fears in our minds. And then we start to say, oh, yeah, you know, I want to be meditating. But actually, I need to do like five more things on my to-do list or I could squeeze in these three emails, or whatever it is."[26:11] “Remember that boundaries aren't about keeping out what we don't want…boundaries are to keep in what I want.”[29:09] “The root issue of all these confidence issues goes back to, ‘Am I identifying with the ego, or am I identifying with the true self?'”About KimberlyKimberly Snyder is a meditation and spiritual teacher, holistic wellness specialist, and nutritionist.

Jamaican record producer Lee 'Scratch' Perry is widely celebrated as one of the most important creative figures to emerge in the late-20th Century. In 'I Am The Upsetter: The Sonic Innovation of Lee 'Scratch' Perry,' producer David Katz, who is Perry's authorized biographer, draws on archive interviews to explore his incredible career, which began in the early 1960s and continued until August 2021, only ending when Perry died, aged 85. One of Bob Marley's most important mentors, Perry's Black Ark studio used substandard equipment, but the innovative work he produced there with Max Romeo, Junior Murvin and others inspired a range of artists active in other genres, including Paul McCartney, the Clash, and the Beastie Boys.

Guesting on this episode is Europe's number one self-mastery mentor, mindset trainer, international best-selling author, and award-winning speaker Mahima Lucille Klinge. Mahima was born in Zimbabwe and now lives in Switzerland. She has dedicated her entire adult life to mastering the skill of joyful living in the present moment and sharing what she has learned. Mahima's mindsets training and workshops restore energetic, peaceful, balanced, and optimistic people who are stressed out physically, mentally, and emotionally. Mahima offers a one-of-a-kind approach to discovering your genius and real calling in life using a combination of exclusive tools and techniques. Tune in as Mahima talks about the importance of Meditation and Mindset. [08:08] Why should I listen to you? You should pay attention to me because I talk from the heart and personal experience. I try to practice what I preach. I have two and a half decades of unique development material from when people were pursuing master's degrees, PhDs, or other pieces of paper that would help them in life. [08:48] For many years, I sat in an ashram in India, meditating six hours a day because I had discovered my passion, something that could help me transcend my limited thinking and experience. Something much more beautiful and empowering, which enabled me to create a great deal of beauty in my life. [11:03] How did you become the person you are today, knowing all the hurdles you had to jump over to get to where you are right now? I'll begin by telling you about my great-grandmother. She grew up in Africa, where there was no running water or electricity. She never left the area, lived for over 90 years, and died there. My grandfather, on the other hand, desired more for himself. He resolved to walk from Zimbabwe to South Africa, from the heart of Africa to the nature of Africa. Consider the distance he had to travel to obtain what he desired, even if there are dangers, particularly in animals in Africa, which contribute to the deaths of many people. [12:26] My grandfather was the first member of our family to escape the heart of Africa with running water, and he did it by moving to the suburbs, where he and my grandmother met. My mother, on the other hand, went as far as she could in her schooling. However, she did not attend university, opting instead for high school education. And they began their career as a nurse. [13:04] Mahima is born into a world where her father disappears, which was rather typical in those days; it wasn't uncommon for a man to vanish and abandon his children, and I've never heard from my father since. As a result, Mahima is only related to her grandmother and mother. [14:36] Mahima's family was similarly raised as Roman Catholics. She received a Roman Catholic education, including beatings. She had all of these things happen to her at the age of 14, but she managed to break away because she began modeling at a young age. Mahima got noticed in Zimbabwe and started earning money more money than anybody else in her family made. It enabled her to leave home at 16 since she thought the setting was no longer suitable for her. [15:33] Mahima became aware of the damage caused by years of abuse and trauma when she married at 21. She married the Swiss guy, and he demonstrated how disoriented she was; how far removed she was from loving, respecting, and feeling comfortable in her flesh. She was unaware that she was that untidy until she entered into a relationship. That relationship ended although they lived in a magnificent house with a swimming pool and a jacuzzi - all the things that should indicate that you have a husband, a beautiful home, you have accomplished something, and it will make you happy. None of it brought her happiness. In fact, she was more wretched than she had ever been. [16:49] How do we get to the point of the Mahima mindset? Where does that all come to start budding and growing into what it is now? By luck, life brought me to India. I found myself in an Ashram in India; I was not looking for anything. I knew nothing about ashrams or Indian gurus. I had no idea what this entire scene was about. However, a friend saw my state and suggested, "Before you do anything else, go there." This ashram is teeming with incredible people from all over the world. All of whom are thoroughly judging the space. I'm wondering what these individuals are doing here. It is all absurd. The teachers have died and are viewing videos, but they're all crammed in like a thousand people in this enormous hole. [17:54] As soon as the dead guru began speaking in the video, I stopped feeling that everything the person was saying was directed at me. I have this icy sensation of the hair at the back of my neck sticking up. And I begin to feel as if I agree with everything he says. It's as though he's staring directly at me. And speaking now to me was the oddest thing. However, I had no idea how to meditate. I closed my eyes and immediately felt at ease. I began to feel the expansion. I began to feel myself shifting away from the negativity that had been my typical state of Consciousness and toward the most profound form of consciousness. That is what I refer to as my awakening. Because I was so deeply ensconced in this peaceful realm, the hole was empty when I opened my eyes. [18:53] All of the thousands of people who had gathered had left, but I remained. Simply put, I was more at ease than I had ever been in my life. I had no idea what had happened. That day marked the start of my stay at the Ashram. As a result, I was lonely. I had no one to talk to. I went back to my hotel room and promptly fell asleep. The first thing I did when I awakened the following day was closing my eyes. I wanted to stay there since it had been such a beautiful moment of peace. I closed my eyes for two hours and meditated. I then went to the Ashram. And I found myself becoming increasingly engrossed in everything going on there. [19:50] While others struggled with meditation and sitting still, this young 22-year-old could sit for hours simply holding space, exploring my consciousness, exploring what it felt like to feel powerful and peaceful. To let that energy flow through you, dissolving fear, dissolving smallness, dissolving anger, pain, and confusion, all of which dissolve in the face of our true nature, which is our soul essence. That is how it evolved. It was merely a chance, but I took advantage of it. I feel that some of us are given opportunities in life. However, we passed up those opportunities. But I clutched all those opportunities with both freaking hands and surfed that wave until today. [20:57] How did you start finding the ways to go back to the world that allowed you to become a leader who makes a living, helping other people live better? After six months at this Ashram with the teacher who died, I felt as if I needed a teacher in his body. I wanted someone with whom I could dig and ask questions, such as what is all this enlightenment nonsense, and so on. I was able to comprehend everything fully. [21:19] So I went to this other location where the teacher was still alive, with a smaller crowd. When I arrived, the guy stated that I had met the person and that a few minutes later, I was invited to this small room where he would meet with new individuals. And he told me in the first meeting, you're going to offer Satsang, and he laughed because Satsang back then meant these sessions where people would sit and ask him questions, and he would support and help them. [21:54]When it came to meditation, I found it to be effortless. In that first meeting, he saw something in me that I couldn't have seen or even thought of, so that was the first seed of this concept. I believe because I had a distinct talent. So he planted that seed, and when he died five years later, it was crystal clear to me that it was time to share what I had learned. And I could tell I had learned a lot because I had so much more laughter, joy, and enjoyment in my life, and I could make bold decisions and do new things. I was able to pick up on those messages by going into my head and listening to my heart and following the counsel of my soul. [23:24] I was invited to Germany, Switzerland, France, Holland, and Italy. All of these different countries just happened to be asking me, and they were organizing the events, and all I had to do was fly and be there, and then they would do it on a donation basis, and then they would give me the money that people donated. That's how I got started. That's when my gift began. [24:35] What are the things that you're creating that you're excited about that help people? I'm looking forward to seeing more leaders worldwide who have realized the strength that lies within their hearts. My purpose is to help others feel peaceful, powerful, and joyous in the present moment, regardless of what is going on around them. It's your right as a human being. You were born as that essence, and you will leave as that essence to feel love, be grounded, and feel plentiful. [25:12] Assisting others in returning to themselves and then urging them to share that message throughout the world through their example. Allowing yourself and doing your passion in life, is a component of that example. So, instead of being, "Look, I'm just going to make money and have my passion over here," how can you make that work? I believe that more people should be earning money doing what they enjoy. But it all starts with performing the inner work to remove the negative thoughts that you can't, that you can't be one of those individuals, that it's just for a select few. [26:07] I'm interested in inspiring individuals to tap into their actual potential and a powerful mission, which is something they're passionate about, altering, changing, and being a part of a positive global discourse and elevated space that they build in themselves, and then in their communities. [27:29] My mission is to awaken more people to their potential and power and empower them to share it with the rest of the world. I love the notion of constructing "centers" around the world where people can come together physically in a physical space to heal, transform, enlighten, and play, as well as share ideas and initiatives. So I'd want to adopt the Mahima approach and open up a few locations throughout the world, in nature, and perhaps also in some major cities where people need what we do and meet people personally. Everyone will, indeed, be online, but in my vision, we do online, but then we go on spectacular excursions offline.

Helen in her own words:   “Full time global hobo cycling the world on AU$100/week creating vlogs, blogs, and photo's as I go.   On the road in one form or another since 2004. I left the UK with a round-the-world ticket on what should have been my ‘year out' but never properly returned.    Living out of a backpack ever since, I taught English in South Korea, travelling back overland along the Silk Road before emigrating to Australia in 2007 where a travel fundraising job meant I continued to move from place to place every week or two.   In Australia I took up bicycle touring and in 2016 set out on an ambitious first bike tour through the outback along the Gibb River Road, Tanami, and Oodnadata tracks.    In 2017 I returned to work for a year while training for and running the New York Marathon, before returning to full-time bicycle touring.   In spring 2018 I set out into The Beast From The East to ride a loop of the UK coast and down to Sicily and back.   In 2019 I rode up the Norwegian coast to the North Cape and back through the Baltic states.    In early spring of 2020 I set out to Istanbul getting caught in lockdown in Germany, waiting and changing course as borders closed and reopened, finally arriving in Istanbul a year late in September 2021.   Totalling 58,000kms over 5 years so far..    From here the plan is to continue on riding to Africa, via the the Middle East (pandemic & borders permitting!)"   New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast go live every Tuesday at 7am UK time - Hit the subscribe button so you don't miss out.    The Tough Girl Podcast is sponsorship and ad free thanks to the monthly financial support of patrons.    Support the mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media.

The best example of Sahelian mud-brick architecture, the great mosque seems like a sandcastle rising from the Niger Inland Delta in Mali. Originally built in the early days of the Mali Empire, the mosque also connects with the Songhai, Africa's largest and strongest empire, whose collapse came at key moment in world history. We'll follow the fates of two great kings and see how choices made in the early 1500s echo today. And we'll eat tiguedegana, a peanut tomato stew that is just so freaking delicious.

On a big game trip to Zambia, Bianca Rudolph is killed by a gunshot to the chest. It's ruled an accident, Or was it suicide? That's something that husband, Dr. Lawrence Rudolph says was a possibility. Now, US investigators say Rudolph killed his wife in order to collect on her life insurance. Dentist Lawrence Rudolph is charged with foreign murder and mail fraud. Rudolph reportedly told authorities that he believed his wife's gun was accidentally discharged while she was putting it in a case. Bianca Rudolph is cremated in Africa — a move that investigators reportedly believe was part of the scheme. Lawrence Rudolph reportedly made claims on his wife's life insurance policy totaling nearly $5 million. The policy was initially purchased in 1987 but was updated in 2016, the same year Bianca died.

Many cultural objects and works of art were taken from the Kingdom of Benin in western Africa in 1897, in what is typically described as a punitive raid or a punitive expedition by the British. In the last few years, some nations and institutions have committed to returning these pieces, but only a few have actually been returned at this point.

My guest this week is Olowo-n'djo Tchala. Born in the village of Kaboli, Togo, West Africa near the border of Benin, Olowo-n'djo grew up sharing an 8'x10' room with seven siblings and his mother. Although they did not always have enough, his mother, Ina, instilled in him the importance of kindness and generosity by always sharing what they could. Unable to afford school fees, Olowo-n'djo dropped out of school in the sixth grade to help support his family. After meeting his wife he founded Alaffia in 2003. In 2004, armed with his understanding of the value of indigenous West African resources and sustainable business ideologies, he launched Alaffia's first collective. Alaffia continues to redefine the natural products industry through its values of beauty, equality and empowerment. Alaffia handcrafts award-winning clean, green beauty and grooming products and is a social enterprise on a mission to invest in a more equitable future. 4:25 – My personal testimonial I'm such a huge fan of Alaffia. My son Amos, who is almost 6, had horrible eczema as a child. We tried everything. Somebody recommended Alaffia to me, and I became a believer. It was safe and smelled amazing. It was a lifesaver. 6:09 - Olowo-n'djo 101 He sees Alaffia as everybody's brand, not just his. He feels honored to do something that he believes in. 10:43 – Meeting his wife Olowo-n'djo's wife, Rose, studied chemistry and is from Washington state. He decided to follow her because, “You have to follow the one that touches your heart.” 14:38 – Meaning of Alaffia Alaffia means peace and health. His beauty brand represents a social movement, not just a business. 18:55 – How his business sprouted Olowo-n'djo's mother instilled a sense of responsibility in him. He wanted to be a subway engineer at one point to help find clean water. 21:20 – Fair trade model Alaffia has gone above the idea of the  “fair trade” model. He is setting a standard for other companies. 24:36 – Funding births Olowo-n'djo has funded over 6,500 births. 29:24 – Women's issues I am so grateful to Olowo-n'djo for talking about important topics, like women's' maternal health. Women often have to advocate for themselves, so it's nice to see a man advocating for us. 33:53 – Biggest challenge The biggest challenge he faces depends on the day. The challenges are continuous, and there are incredible difficulties. 37:09 – His products Alaffia makes a lot of bath products, but they also make creams for moisturizing the skin. 41:29 – Get to know you Who would play him in a movie? He would play himself. Who would play his mom in a movie? His aunt FEATURED QUOTES I don't want anyone to feel sorry for us. We have so much to offer the world. I get to do something that I deeply and profoundly believe in, really deep in my heart and my soul. CONNECT: https://www.alaffia.com/ About Olowo-n'djo Tchala: Olowo-n'djo Tchala, founder and CEO of Alaffia, was born and raised in the village of Kaboli, Togo, Africa located in the Central region near the border of Benin. Growing up, he shared an 8' x 10' room with his mother and seven siblings. Olowo-n'djo's mother taught him the importance of kindness and generosity and by the age of five, Olowo-n'djo was working on the family farm to help support his family. After meeting Prairie Rose Hyde, who was serving in the Peace Corps at the time, he came to the United States and worked his way through school, eventually graduating from the University of California, Davis with a degree in organizational theory. Shortly before graduation, Olowo-n'djo and Rose felt they had the responsibility to fight the injustices that existed in West Africa. They founded Alaffia, which handcrafts award-winning clean and fair trade beauty and grooming care. The organization advances gender equality and alleviates poverty through the fair trade of indigenous African resources such as unrefined shea butter, African black soap, coconut oil and neem extract.

“Many historians have been seduced by the desire to manage the story of our founding, protecting our identity as an exceptional, fundamentally just nation,” writes Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones in the preface to “The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story.” The project, created by Hannah-Jones, reframes our popular understanding of U.S. history and considers “a new origin story” that started not with the Declaration of Independence, but rather with the introduction of slavery in late August 1619, when the first ship carrying enslaved people from Africa arrived in the British colony of Virginia. Originally launched as a special edition of the New York Times Magazine in 2019, an expanded book version of the project came out in November. We'll talk to Hannah-Jones about the new book, the debates the project has sparked about how we write and teach U.S. history and the power of shared national memory

This time last year we were asking whether Africa would get enough Covid-19 vaccines. As 2021 progressed, it became clear that it wouldn't. African leaders complained that rich countries weren't meeting their commitments to Covax, the scheme aimed at ensuring equitable access to the vaccines. South African president Cyril Ramaphosa coined the term vaccine apartheid, in reference to the gulf between vaccination rates on the continent and other parts of the world. And some people began to ask how the continent could avoid being in this position again in the future. So, can Africa become self-sufficient when it comes to vaccine production? #AfricaDaily

How a small Nigerian Islamist group launched one of the deadliest insurgencies in Africa. In 2002, a new radical sect emerged in Maiduguri in north eastern Nigeria led by a charismatic preacher, Mohammed Yusuf. He preached against anything he deemed un-Islamic or having a western influence. Locals gave the group a nickname, Boko Haram - meaning "western education is forbidden". In 2009, the group launched co-ordinated attacks on police across northern Nigeria. Maiduguri saw the fiercest fighting. It was the start of an insurgency that would devastate the region. We hear from Bilkisu Babangida who was the BBC Hausa service reporter in the city at the time.
