Join the Amys and their paradigm-shifting guest, Dr. Kevin Toman—a veterinarian who has officially run out of patience for nonsense after 30+ years in the trenches. His latest obsession? Not just keeping pets alive, but keeping them thriving—longer, stronger, and with fewer unnecessary pills, protocols, and profit-driven “standards of care.” He's traded the status quo for science, and he's not exactly whispering about it.Dr. Toman cuts through the BS with surgical precision…Does “more medicine” always mean better medicine? What does corporate veterinary care get wrong? Can you actually extend your pet's healthspan—and not just drag out the clock?Expect a conversation grounded in real science, clinical experience, and a refreshing dose of honesty. If you've ever wondered how to help your pet live not just longer, but better, this episode will make you rethink everything you thought you knew.There will be myth-busting. There will be strong opinions. There may be a little well-placed side-eye toward Big Vet Med

"Problem-solving is hunting; it is savage pleasure and we are born to it.”  – Dr. Hannibal Lecter, Silence of the LambsJoin the Amys for a fascinating conversation with innovative dog trainer Melissa McCue-McGrath, who's turning canine noses into powerful conservation tools… What started as a simple passion project for a research article has grown into a mission-driven crusade against the spotted lanternfly—one of America's most destructive invasive species.We explore how scent detection training works, why dogs are uniquely suited for this kind of environmental work, and how Melissa is bringing this training into shelters—giving dogs not only enrichment and purpose, but potentially a second chance at adoption.

In this deeply meaningful episode, The Amys sit down with Sue Alexander, founder of Losing Lulu, to talk about one of the most painful and misunderstood decisions in companion animal care: behavioral euthanasia.Together, we explore the emotional weight carried by families and professionals when love isn't enough to keep everyone safe. Sue shares her behavioral euthanasia stories, and the origin story behind Losing Lulu, how the community has become a lifeline for grieving pet guardians, and why shame and silence so often surround this topic. We discuss the moral injury experienced by veterinarians, trainers, and behavior teams, and how creating space for honest, compassionate dialogue can change outcomes for everyone involved.We also preview the upcoming Losing Lulu Summit — a gathering dedicated to education, support, and reducing stigma around complex behavioral cases.

In this episode of Feminine Frequency, we're doing a Pod swap with our friends over at The New Truth podcast. Amy Natalie dives deep into the heart of feminine liberation with Kate Harlow and we have a conversation that explores the profound journey of shedding societal expectations and the "Good Girl" conditioning that keeps so many women playing small, silent, and disconnected from their true essence. Amy shares her personal evolution from a life of "checking the boxes"—including a traditional marriage and religious expectations—to a life of radical authenticity, vibrant sensuality, and deep somatic healing. Together, the two Amys illuminate the path from people-pleasing and emotional suppression to becoming a Multi-Dimensional Woman: one who embraces her full range of power, truth, and purpose.Themes: How women are conditioned by culture, religion, and lineage to choose acceptance over authenticity, leading to anxiety and physical misalignment.Exploring the inner conflict between attachment and authenticity, inspired by Gabor Maté.How the "Good Girl" program lives in the nervous system and how movement and dance are the keys to unlocking suppressed life forceThe honest reality of the transition period—where old relationships may fall away and a temporary sense of loneliness occurs before new, high-frequency "Soul Family" connections are magnetized.Practical insights on how to speak your truth to loved ones (like parents or partners) in a way that honors your evolution while inviting deeper, more honest intimacy.A celebration of the "New Paradigm" of sisterhood, where women support each other's expansion rather than viewing another's light as a threat to their own.Three-step framework for transformation: Awareness (seeing the patterns), Acceptance (loving the parts that want to hide), and Aligned Action (living as your higher self).SPECIAL OFFER:

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.Think you know the Garvey story? Meet the two Amys who built its backbone. We dive into the lives of Amy Ashwood Garvey and Amy Jacques Garvey, Jamaican visionaries whose organizing, editing, and leadership turned a charismatic vision into a global movement. Their names appear in the margins of many textbooks, but their fingerprints are on every chapter of Garveyism's rise, reach, and survival.We trace Amy Ashwood's role as a UNIA co-founder, strategist, and early architect who helped design the organization's infrastructure in Jamaica and nurtured its international ambitions. Her work exemplifies a transatlantic Caribbean feminism rooted in institution-building and political education, long before the term became common. We then spotlight Amy Jacques, a journalist and editor whose stewardship during Garvey's imprisonment kept the movement alive. She edited The Negro World, wrote speeches, managed correspondence, and articulated a bold vision for women's leadership in Black liberation. By editing and publishing The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey, she preserved a scattered archive and ensured that future generations could study, adapt, and debate Garveyism. Along the way, we acknowledge the human complexity—yes, Marcus married two Amys—and use that irony to open the door to deeper truths: movements are made by people with egos, contradictions, humor, and heart. Re-centering these women shifts how we measure impact, highlighting the editors, organizers, archivists, and educators who keep ideas moving across borders and time. If you've only heard the headline, this conversation invites you into the story behind it. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can discover the women who built Garveyism.

It started with a few weird little things—a strange chill, mysterious puddles, objects moving on their own—but before long, the Pritchard family found themselves trapped in one of the most violent hauntings in England, tormented by the terrifying Black Monk of Pontefract.IN THIS EPISODE: A family moves into a home and almost immediately begins to experience escalating supernatural activity – which then introduces a sinister, dark menacing entity. (The Black Monk) *** Urban legends are typically dark, strange stories which for the most part are only that – legend. Harmless tales meant to frighten the listener with no more repercussions than some goose bumps and perhaps a restless night of trying to sleep. But some legends are based on truth – and those are the ones that truly make our skin crawl and our faces turn white. (Urban Legends Which Are Actually True) *** Why would a U.S. state vote to have an official state demon? It really happened – and stories about the Jersey Devil continue to this day. We'll look at the history and horrors of this bizarre cryptid and see if it's more than urban legend. (Legend of the Jersey Devil) *** Delano, California is a small, uninteresting town that many may think twice before visiting. East of this town is an equally dreary road known as Browning Road. If you're a paranormal enthusiast, you know that this is one road you shouldn't dare travel alone. (Hitchhiking Ghost of Delano) *** A woman shares her horrifying true story of an evil entity she encountered on Browning Road in Delano, California. (Evil Walks Browning Road) *** In the summer of 2014 a series of UFOs were being reported by Navy pilots – the most elite of our airborne military. Not only were the sightings becoming more frequent – they would last up to 12-hours at a time.

After 10 seasons, Women at Work is changing things up for the better. We're shifting to a new, year-round schedule, releasing a new episode every other Monday, starting March 10. That means more episodes that inspire reflection and growth, more practical advice, and more insights and stories that make you feel seen and supported in your career.

Amy S's story is a journey of identity, family deception, and self-discovery. A DNA test revealed her biological father was not the man she adored but someone from her father's social circle, shattering her sense of belonging. After grappling with grief and betrayal, she found healing through therapy, genealogy, and embracing her Irish heritage, ultimately reclaiming her identity and freedom.Amy can be reached via email aslingsby@tds.netResources Mentioned:Lily Wood: NPE Stories Special Crossover Episode on Everything's Relative with Eve Sturges NPE Stories PatreonNPE Stories facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/NPEstories

There's something about hearing how other women are making the most of LLMs that can turn even the most GenAI-avoidant among us GenAI-curious. At least that's what happened to the Amys when they heard from several power users who've broadened their thinking, deepened their agency at work, and saved themselves time and stress. Maybe in listening to them you'll be inspired too.

How are women using GenAI to transform their work? What can we learn from the listeners who identify as “AI power users” about how to boost our productivity, creativity, and confidence? Why is working while parenting a teenager so much harder than Amy Gallo expected, and how can she and other moms navigate this emotionally demanding phase of motherhood? If you're mid-career and thinking about switching industries, what should you know before making the leap? These questions are at the heart of some of the conversations the Amys are having this season. As always, they'll bring you expertise, stories, and advice.
