This week, I am welcoming Stefanie Broes, the co-founder of Moonbird, a health tech start-up active in the well-being space. Moonbird is the world's first handheld breath pacer and is all about making breathwork accessible to let people live healthier and happier lives. The product is used to decrease stress, manage anxiety, and combat sleeping problems. Stefanie has a medical background, a PhD in pharmaceutical sciences, and a master's in IP and data protection law. Before starting Moonbird she worked in two other start-up companies. When she discovered the effectiveness of breathing exercises to tackle her own sleeping issues, she submerged herself in the matter.    Moonbird originated in Belgium, as the brainchild of Stefanie and Michael Broes, a brother and sister duo. When Stefanie suffered from sleeping problems, she tried breathwork but struggled to keep her focus on the breath. Moonbird is based on the calming power of affective touch. This refers to the slow, soft physical contact that, as social mammals, we're pre-wired to find soothing. This revolutionary tool guides you intuitively, helping you to breathe slowly. Simply hold moonbird in your hand, and sync your breathing to the device: inhale when it expands, exhale when it deflates.  Discussions on the Show Include:  Resources & Links: View Website To Learn More Use Code TINY TRANSITIONS for a discount at Checkout  Follow Moonbird on Instagram

Hi Beloved, Most people think exploring the Akashic Records is just about learning cosmic secrets in some “energetic library out there.”But what if the REAL power is in discovering balance, and creating deep, tangible healing inside yourself? So here's what I've found:When you step into the Akashic Records, you don't just read energy—You feel a shift, a profound presence that grounds you between heaven and earth. But why does it feel so powerful, almost electric? You might expect it to feel like a meditation, but...Instead, there's a system—a kind of energetic agreement inside the Records that comes toward you, versus you downloading intelligence or going “to it” metaphorically. Therefore, balance isn't an accident, it's built in. Let's break this down:The Records foster pure energetic equilibrium/ It's a dynamic energy that is always shifting and holds every story, thought, relationship, action etc - in all of your existence. But here's the twist—this isn't just about peace and quiet.Standing in that resonance, you connect with the highest potential of non-physical reality— Therefore, true healing isn't about “fixing” yourself, it's about allowing pure energy to flow through and release what no longer serves you. So what actually happens when you close the Records and step back into daily life?Most believe spiritual work stays in the session…But the shift you made? It comes with you—Therefore, suddenly, you're manifesting new clarity in your real world.And here's the thing, you find that you've actually let go—deeply—of something you're truly ready to release.You might think, “Isn't this just guided meditation?”But the energy of the Akashic field is VERY different.It's nonjudgmental, supportive—the ultimate safe space for transformation.Therefore, each time you work in the Records, you're not just healing—You're rewiring your energetic system, becoming more sensitive, more intuitive.It's like upgrading your internal compass.But instead of just ‘spiritual downloads,' you gain real-world discernment you can actually use—at work, in relationships, everywhere. So, if you've ever wanted to actually feel a shift—The Akashic Records might be calling you.What would you release if you stepped into that space today?Drop a comment—what's one thing you're ready to finally let go of?Desire one to one support on deep energy work?Schedule a call—there's so much more to uncover together.xo KassandraOH HEY, PS!

In this episode, the Agony Aunties address a question about dealing with health anxiety, which started during pregnancy and has persisted for six years. The discussion covers various aspects, including the role of different therapies such as art therapy and somatic EMDR, understanding the impact of early childhood trauma, and how physiological changes after childbirth can amplify fear and anxiety. The Agony Aunties emphasise the importance of awareness, self-compassion, and having open, honest conversations with therapists to evaluate the effectiveness of therapy. They also highlight that change and healing are gradual processes that can't erase past experiences but can help in developing a more compassionate relationship with oneself.

The current social, political and historical context offers many difficult challenges. We have experienced up close and from a distance awareness of a remarkable number of challenges including the wars, political unrest, growing socioeconomic inequities, climate catastrophe, and human and animal suffering.  These times are also marked by polarized thinking, including among analysts, candidates and in our communities.  An application of a psychoanalytically-informed method that rests on psychoanalytic clinical theory but focuses on group experiences of psycho-historical conflict as it continues in the present is offered as a means to facilitate deep and moving change when there is toxic polarization.    In this episode, Dr. Harriet Wolfe presents a unique application of psychoanalytic thinking.  She describes an interdisciplinary group that is international, intergenerational and diverse that meets periodically to apply analytic thinking to intractable large scale historical group traumas.  This method, called the International Dialogue Initiative includes psychoanalysts but also others (e.g. economists, lawyers, diplomats, historians) who share stories and deeply listen with the purpose of gaining perspective on unmanageable feelings through exploring cases of traumatic residues. While others, including Freud have theorized application of psychoanalysis to groups, this particular use is novel and important in today's times and speaks to how psychoanalysis can be truly psychoanalytic and at the same time be applied to political and social issues. Harriet Wolfe, M.D., is President of the International Psychoanalytical Association, Past President of the American Psychoanalytic Association, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of California San Francisco, and Training and Supervising Analyst at the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis. Her scholarly interests include clinical applications of psychoanalytic research, organizational processes, female development, and therapeutic action. She has co-authored a number of psychoanalytically informed guided activity workbooks for children, parents and teachers to help children cope with natural and manmade disasters. She has a private practice of psychoanalysis, and individual and couple's psychoanalytic psychotherapy in San Francisco. This Podcast Series, published by the International Psychoanalytical Association, is part of the activities of the IPA Communication Committee and is produced by the IPA Podcast Editorial Team.

Simeon Brown took the words right out of my mouth. I was just saying this very morning, that people living with bone-on-bone pain don't really care where their hip replacement is done or whether their knee is replaced in a private hospital or a public one. And there in the statement released from the Health Minister's Office is Simeon saying patients don't care who's delivering their surgery – they care about getting their hip, knee and cataract operations done. I think it's a common sentiment. I think most of us would feel this way. News this morning that Health New Zealand has been directed to give private hospitals 10-year outsourcing contracts to perform elective surgeries should come as good news for those on the waiting list. As Simeon Brown was talking to Francesca Rudkin about the 10,000 elective surgeries that had been performed, mostly in private hospitals, he gave a hint that the arrangement with private hospitals was likely to be formalised. “This is something that needs to continue to happen so that we can continue to reduce the number of people waiting for those surgeries. The waitlist ballooned over the last six years, that's unacceptable for patients. I'm committed to continuing to use both the public and private system to make sure we reduce that waitlist and ensure patients get seen in a timely manner.” And now it has. Private hospital contracts have in the past tended to be rather short term, ad hoc arrangements designed to take the spill over from the public waiting list. But Health New Zealand has been negotiating 3-year agreements with private hospitals. And that will guarantee high volumes of low complexity patients. They don't want your tricky ones, they don't want your obese smokers, they just want the people who'll be able to come in, have a routine operation, and have the aftercare needed to provide good outcomes. Brown has now directed Health New Zealand to seek even longer-term arrangements, which he says will improve the cost effectiveness of delivery and provide clear investment signals to the private sector. So if the private sector is thinking, do we put up a private clinic in Tauranga that can do routine operations, do you know what? Damn it, we will, if there's a 10-year pipeline of work. Do we invest in the super duper state-of-the-art high tech medical equipment that would take the operating theatre to the next level? Damn it, we will, because we have that pipeline of work. That has to be good news for patients. The number of people waiting more than four months for elective surgery has grown from 1000 in 2017 to more than 28,000 and 2023. Now, I totally accept that waiting lists can be manipulated. You know, over the years, over the many, many years I've been doing a talkback, we've seen successive governments manipulate the waiting list. It looks a hell of a lot better when you just take people off it – you have to be referred by your GP and start the process all over again. That's one old trick. But we also take into account that Covid meant that a lot of elective surgeries couldn't be performed and that happened the Western world over. The Covid pandemic meant that elective surgeries were a luxury, and of course, it ballooned out. So this has to be good news. The fact that the private hospitals will now have a contract where they will be able to deliver these operations for less than they have been charging. The New Zealand Private Surgical Hospitals Association Representative hadn't heard about the 10 years, but said obviously with that certainty that length of agreement it was not unreasonable to expect such deals would provide certainty on costs, which is doctor speak for we'll sharpen our pencil and give you a good deal. However, there are concerns from the medical profession, the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons says they were sold outsourcing as a short-term solution. But outsourcing is not a solution to an inadequately funded health system. They said that outsourcing elective surgery deprived surgical registrars of the training they needed, and that it was all so much more expensive. I don't see why the registrars can't pop across the road to Alleviate or Ascot and spend a day in the operating theatre in a private clinic. I mean, it's probably much more complex than that, but when they say surgical registrars won't get the training they need, whatever happened to work experience? Where you could go to a private hospital for a day or a week and help out there. I agree in an ideal world where you pay your taxes to contribute to the good of the community, an adequately funded public health system would be fantastic. Where in the world do you have one like that? Possibly the Nordic states do. But we're a long way from getting that and in the meantime, when you have people who do not have life threatening conditions but who have life diminishing conditions where they can't work, they can't enjoy life, they are living in constant pain, their quality of life is 0. They can't go outside the four walls of their own home. They're swallowing painkillers, which are ineffectual, but at least make them feel like something is happening. The difference between what is considered a relatively routine operation by the medical profession and not having that routine operation is life changing. You may not die from having bone-on-bone pain of your hip or your knee, but you feel like you want to. The difference will be huge for patients. For some of them they don't know how they can go on another hour, far less six months. I just I cannot see how it is a bad thing. Ideally, yes, we would have an adequately funded public health system, and it also might mean that you're not going to get your hip or your knee done privately. If you're a high needs patient, you're gonna have to wait on the public health waiting list – that should diminish given the number of elective surgeries that will be performed in the private sector. The only concern I see is that A) it's failing ideologically to have a publicly funded health system, but needs must. Why should people be collateral damage in a war of ideology? And B) the training for the doctors. But can't they do work experience over in the private sector? C) It's a win for patients, surely. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Over the past two decades, rates of peanut allergies in children have more than tripled. A variety of theories has been proposed to explain this, from a rise in industrialization keeping kids away from the germs that develop the immune system, to the previous pediatric guidelines that urged parents to restrict access to peanuts early in life. Whatever the cause, higher rates of peanut allergies means effective treatments are in higher demand.New research published in NEJM Evidence shows that a simple treatment could be effective for kids who can tolerate half a peanut or more before an overwhelming reaction: eating a small amount of store-bought peanut butter, gradually increasing the amount over 18 months. In the study, 100% of participating kids increased their tolerance to three tablespoons of peanut butter without an allergic reaction.Joining Host Flora Lichtman to discuss this study and other food allergy treatments on the horizon is Dr. Scott Sicherer, Director of the Jaffe Food Allergy Institute at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Spring Lake ChurchMar 23, 2025==========Spring Lake Church Weekend Services - Bellevue==========Sermon: Reaching for ChristTeacher: Jack Guerra and Arlen Chastain‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭29‬:‭18‬‬Where there is no vision, the people perish: But he that keepeth the law, happy is he.‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭2‬:‭2‬-‭3‬‬Then the Lord replied: “Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.Three year vision was designed to:-Bless the surrounding community.-Expand our footprint to love and reach more people in Northeast Wisconsin-Create environments for kids, students, and families to flourish.-Alleviate crowding in several of our ministries. Especially at our Bellevue campus.Two Connected Projects1A: Bellevue Campus Expansion-Full sized gym-Additional classrooms1B: Launch Southwest Campus-Build upon success of Downtown Campus-Ideal service size-More accessible to people in Southwest Brown County‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭6‬-‭8‬‬Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.‭‭John‬ ‭4‬:‭35‬‬Don't you have a saying, ‘It's still four months until harvest'? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭18‬-‭20‬‬Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭14‬-‭16‬‬“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.Spring Lake Church WebsiteFind out more about Spring Lake Church at our website.https://www.springlakechurch.org/Financially Support Spring Lake ChurchGiving financially is simple.

“PAGA is a statute that's not employer-friendly, but one of the benefits of this last year is that we had some amendments come through that did, for lack of a better phrase, throw employers a little bit of a bone when it came to dealing with PAGA cases. One benefit is an expanded ability to cure labor code violations. The other involves arbitration and our ability to fight these claims and not just have to wait to trial to do it.”  Chapters 00:00 Navigating Workplace Law in 2025 00:45 Introduction to PAGA and Its Challenges 03:11 Recent Amendments and Their Implications 06:04 Understanding Penalties and Compliance 09:06 Standing Requirements and Legal Developments 12:00 PAGA vs. Arbitration: Current Landscape 14:50 Conclusion and Future Outlook

The light sensitivity and photophobia associated with migraines can be debilitating for many of the patients who walk through our doors. In this episode, we sit down with Derek Johnson from Avulux to discuss the role Avulux's lenses play in alleviating the symptoms of migraines. Key Takeaways:Avulux is a light filtration system that filters out specific wavelengths of light that have been shown to amplify the symptoms of migraine headaches including photophobia and light sensitivity.The technology is based on two studies that showed that 480nm and 500 nm light triggers pain and photophobia in patients suffering from a migraine without impact to color perception.More than 47 million individuals in the US suffer from migraine and 1 in 3 women are affected.Migraine sufferers are both well connected and actively driven to find solutions for their symptoms, driving the opportunity this poses for optometric practices.Success in prescribing these technologies to patients begins with connecting their individual experience with the problem to the solution you're prescribing. What Derek is reading: Start with Why by Simon SinekPractice Advantage Reading List** Don't miss out on an extra $10 rebate for all commercial VSP Eye Exams this year!
