New EasYoga Podcast Episode 147A - Join Gemma in this episode where she talks to special guest Charlotte Marsh.Charlotte's first introduction to Pilates was due to a serious back injury when 8 months pregnant. Once partially recovered, a physiotherapist suggested Pilates classes. Over a decade later, Pilates remained her favourite and she became a Pilates instructor herself. Acquiring additional qualifications, with Pilates Pregnancy Impact, she found herself mainly working with private clients who required specialised women's health coaching, pregnancy, pelvic floor, etc many of which involved improving breathing.As part of her own healing journey, she sensed her diaphragm was restricted on one side and a physiotherapist concurred. Alternative body workers introduced her to different techniques to release tension and this piqued an even greater interest in breathing.Noticing that one of her children was breathing in a really strange way - especially when upset - was the catalyst to become a Buteyko Breathwork coach.She became driven to bust the myth that Pilates breathing is uniquely special, and launched a course for Pilates professionals which had over 100 5* reviews.Upon entering the teenage parenting era, Charlotte felt drawn to explore parenting courses and embodiment courses to learn about connection. Once again, breathing features strongly.Adding further APPI qualifications,she started teaching Pilates for kids. Yoga story books were one source of lesson plan inspiration - as there were no Pilates storybooks for kids.Hence this passion project came to be! Charlotte believes that teaching these simple techniques to kids will give them tools for life and make them more resilient & better able to recover from stress.As well as Buteyko coaching and workplace wellness talks, Charlotte's focus is offering primary school workshops; using Susie Sloth to teach Pilates and better breathing to little bodies and minds.You can find more out about Charlotte here:https://instagram.com/susiesloth_secretsuperpower?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=https://www.instagram.com/betterbreathing/https://www.benefitsofbetterbreathing.co.uk/Easyoga Podcast was voted #1 of the Best 15 UK Yoga Podcasts by Feedspot.

It landed in a crowded Summit County, just down the road from Arapahoe Basin (1946) and five miles overland from Breckenridge (1961). Copper Mountain came online two years later. Loveland (1937) stood at the gateway to Summit County, looming above what would become the Eisenhower Tunnel in 1973. Just west sat Ski Cooper (1942), the mighty and rapidly expanding Vail Mountain (1962), and the patch of wilderness that would morph into Beaver Creek within a decade. Today, the density of ski areas along Colorado's I-70 corridor is astonishing:Despite this geographic proximity, you could not find more distinct ski experiences were you to search across continents. This is true everywhere ski areas bunch, from northern Vermont to Michigan's Upper Peninsula to the Wasatch. Ski areas, like people, hack their identities out of the raw material available to them, and just as siblings growing up in the same household can emerge as wildly different entities, so too can mountains that sit side-by-side-by-side.Keystone, lacking the gnar, was never going to be Jackson or Palisades, fierce and frothing. Sprung from wilderness, it could never replicate Breck's mining-town patina. Its high alpine could not summon the drama of A-Basin's East Wall or the expanse of Vail's Back Bowls.But Keystone made its way. It would be Summit County's family mountain, its night-ski mountain, and, eventually, one of its first-to-open-each-ski-season mountains. This is the headline, and this is how everyone thinks of the place. But over the decades, Keystone has quietly built out one of Colorado's most comprehensive ski experiences, an almost perfect front-to-back progression from gentle to damn. Like Heavenly or Park City, Keystone wears its steeps modestly, like your quiet neighbor with a Corvette hidden beneath tarps in the polebarn. All you notice is the Camry parked in the driveway. But there are layers here. Keep looking, and you will find them.What we talked aboutHopeful for that traditional October opening; why Keystone is Vail's early-season operator in Colorado; why the mountain closes in early April; breaking down the Bergman Bowl expansion and the six-pack that will service it; the eternal tension of opening hike-to terrain to lift service; building more room to roam, rather than more people to roam it; the art of environmentally conscious glading; new lift-served  terrain in Erickson Bowl; turning data into infrastructure; why the Bergman sixer won't have bubbles; why Bergman won't access The Windows terrain; the clever scheme behind renaming the Bergman Bowl expansion trails; building a new trailmap with Rad Smith; where skiers will be able to get a copy of the new paper trailmap; comparing the Peru upgrade to the Bergman lift project; the construction mistake that delayed the Bergman expansion by a full year; the possibility of lifts in Independence, North, and South Bowls; falling in love with skiing Colorado, then moving to Michigan; why Vail bought a bunch of Midwest bumps; when you get to lead the resort where you started bumping lifts; what makes Keystone stand out even though it sits within one of the densest concentrations of large ski areas in North America; thoughts on long-term lift upgrades, and where we could see six-packs; whether the Argentine lift could ever return in some form; the potential for a Ski Tip lift; where Keystone could expand next; whether a Windows lift is in play; North American Bowl; when we could see an updated Keystone masterplan; why Keystone gets less snow than its neighbors; assessing Epic Pass access; and night skiing.   Why I thought that now was a good time for this interviewKeystone is opening one of three large lift-served ski expansions in Colorado this winter: the 500-plus-acre Bergman Bowl, served by a high-speed six-pack (the other two are Hero's on Aspen Mountain and Mahogany Ridge at Steamboat). While this pod has occupied the trailmap as hike-to terrain for years, more people will likely ski it before noon on a typical Monday than once slogged up the ridgeline in an entire winter. Keystone has renamed and somewhat re-sculpted the trails in honor of the occasion, inviting the masses onto a blue-square oasis at the top of Summit County.Which is always a good excuse for a podcast. But… this terrain was supposed to open in 2022, until the project ran into a high-altitude brick wall last July, when construction crews oopsied a road through sensitive terrain. Vail Daily:Construction of a new chairlift at Keystone Resort was ordered to cease this week after the U.S. Forest Service learned that an unauthorized road had been bulldozed through sensitive areas where minimal impacts were authorized.Keystone Resort, which operates by permit on U.S. Forest Service land, was granted permission by the White River National Forest to construct a new chairlift this summer in the area known as Bergman Bowl, creating a 555-acre expansion of Keystone's lift-served terrain. But that approval came with plenty of comments from the Environmental Protection Agency, which recommended minimal road construction associated with the project due to Bergman Bowl's environmentally sensitive location. …White River National Forest Supervisor Scott Fitzwilliams said while the Forest Service does approve many projects like Bergman Bowl, officials typically don't allow construction of new access roads in Alpine tundra.“When you drop a bulldozer blade in the Alpine, that is very fragile, and very difficult to restore,” Fitzwilliams said.In Bergman Bowl, the Forest Service has found “damage to the Alpine environment … impacts to wetlands and stuff that we normally don't want to do,” Fitzwilliams said.As a result, Fitzwilliams issued a cease and desist letter to Vail Resorts. He said the company immediately complied and shut down the impacted parts of the project.The Forest Service has not yet determined if a full restoration can occur.“When you impact the Alpine environment, it's not easy to restore,” Fitzwilliams said. “Sometimes, although achievable in some areas, it's difficult.”Vail Resorts, which has staked much of its identity on its friend-of-the-environment credentials, owned the mistake and immediately hired a firm to design a mitigation plan. What Keystone came back with was so thorough that it stunned Forest Service officials. Blevins, writing a week later in the Colorado Sun:White River National Forest supervisor Scott Fitzwilliams on Thursday said he accepted Vail Resorts' cure for improperly grading 2.5 acres outside of approved construction boundaries, including 1.5 acres above treeline in the fragile alpine zone. The company's construction crews also filled a wetland creek with logs and graded over it to create a road crossing and did not save topsoil and vegetation for replanting after construction, all of which the agency found “were not consistent with Forest Service expectations.”Fitzwilliams rescinded his order of noncompliance and canceled the cease-and-desist order he issued last month after Forest Service officials discovered the construction that had not been permitted. …“Quite honestly, it's the best restoration plan I've ever seen in my life. Even our staff are like ‘Oh my god,'” Fitzwilliams said. “The restoration plan submitted by Keystone is extremely detailed, thorough and includes all the necessary actions to insure the damage is restored as best as possible.”The damage to fragile alpine terrain does require additional analysis under the National Environmental Policy Act, but Fitzwilliams said that can be done while the construction continues.On Thursday afternoon, resort officials said the further environmental review will keep Bergman Bowl from opening for the 2022-23 season, a development Keystone general manager Chris Sorensen said is disappointing but necessary.Indeed. The only way out is through. But how did that plan go? And what is Vail doing to make sure such mistakes don't recur? And how do you manage such a high-profile mistake from a personal and leadership point of view? It was a conversation worth having, and one that Sorensen managed well.What I got wrong…About the exact timeline of Vail's Midwest acquisitionsI kind of lumped Vail Resorts' first three Midwest acquisitions together, but there was quite a bit of space between the company's purchase of Afton Alps and Mt. Brighton, in 2012, and its pickup of Wilmot in 2016. The rest came with the Peak Resorts' acquisition in 2019.About Copper Mountain's season pass priceI said that it was “about $750” for a Copper pass or an Ikon Base Pass. Both were undercounts. Copper's 2023-24 season pass debuted at $799 and is now $849. The 2023-24 Ikon Base Pass, which includes unlimited access to Copper Mountain, debuted at $829 and now sells for $929.About the most-affordable big-mountain ski passes in the United StatesI said that Keystone offered “the most affordable big-mountain season pass” in the country. With peak-day walk-up lift tickets scheduled to hit $269 this season at Keystone, that may seem like an odd declaration. But it's almost true: Keystone sells the second-most-affordable unlimited season pass among America's 20 largest ski areas. Sister resort Park City comes in cheaper on a cost-per-acre basis, and Vail Mountain is tied with Keystone. In fact, four of the top five most affordable big-mountain passes are at Vail-owned properties (Park City, Keystone, Vail, and Heavenly):About night skiingI said that Keystone had “the largest night-skiing operation in America.” This is incorrect. I tried to determine who, indeed, hosts America's largest night-skiing operation, but after slamming my head into a wall for a few hours, I abandoned the exercise. There is absolutely no common standard of measurement, probably because 14-year-olds slamming Bang energy drinks and Faceposting from the chairlift aren't keen on fact-checking. Here's the best I could come up with:Even that simple chart took an embarrassing amount of time to assemble. At some point I will return to this exercise, and will include the entire country. The Midwest will factor significantly here, as nearly every ski area in the region is 100 percent lit for night-skiing. New York and the Mid-Atlantic also host many large night-skiing operations, as do Bolton Valley, Vermont and Pleasant Mountain, Maine. But unless I wanted to publish this podcast in June of 2024, I needed to flee this particular briar patch before I got ensnared.Why you should ski KeystoneThe Keystone you're thinking of is frontside Keystone, Dercum Mountain, River Run and Mountain House, Montezuma and Peru. That Keystone has a certain appeal. It is an approachable outsiders' version of Colorado, endless and wide, fast but manageable, groomed spirals ambling beneath the sunshine. Step out of the Suburban after a 16-hour drive from Houston, and find the Middle Earth you were seeking, soaring and jagged and wild, with a pedestrian village at the base.Keep going. Down Mine Shaft or Diamond Back to North Peak: 1,600 vertical feet of moguls bigger than your car. A half-dozen to choose from. Behind that, yet another peak, like a third ski area. Outback is where things start to get savage. Not drop-off-The-Cirque-at-Snowbird savage, but challenging enough. Slide back to Timberwolf or Bushwacker or Badger – or, more boldly, the trees in between – for that wild Colorado that Texas Ted and New York Ned find off Dercum.Or walk past the snow fort and click out, bootpack a mile and drop into Upper Windows, the only terrain marked double black on Keystone's sprawling trailmap. A rambling world, crisp and silent beneath the Outpost Gondola. Until it spits you out onto Mozart, Keystone's I-70, frantic and cluttered all the way to Santiago, and another lap.Podcast NotesOn Keystone's 2009  masterplan Keystone's masterplan dates to 2009, the second-oldest on file with the White River National Forest (Buttermilk's dates to 2008). The sprawling plan includes several yet-to-be-constructed lifts, including fixed-grips up Independence Bowl and Windows, a surface lift bisecting North and South Bowls; and a two-way ride out of Ski Tip. The plan also proposes upgrades to Outback, Wayback, and A-51; and a whole new line for the now-decommissioned Argentine:Since that image isn't very crisp, here's a closer look at Dercum:North Peak:And Outback:Sorensen and I discuss the potential for each of these projects, some of which are effectively dead. Strangely, Keystone's only two new chairlifts (besides Bergman), since 2009 - upgrading Montezuma and Peru from high-speed quads to sixers – were not suggested on the MDP at all. Argentine, which once connected the Mountain House Base directly to the Montezuma lift, was a casualty of the 2021 Peru upgrade. Here's a before-and-after:Argentine, it turns out, is just the latest casualty in Keystone's front-side clean-sweep. Check out this 1996 trailmap, when Dercum (called “Keystone” here), hosted nine frontside chairlifts (plus the gondola), to today's five:On the new Bergman Bowl trail namesBergman Bowl has appeared on Keystone's trailmap since at least 2005. The resort added trail names around 2007. As part of the lift installation, we get all new trail names and a few new trails (as well as downgrades, for most of the old lines, to blues). Keystone also updated trailnames in adjacent Erickson Bowl, which the new lift will partially serve. Sorensen and I discuss the naming scheme in the pod:On Rad Smith's new hand-painted Keystone trailmapSince 2002 or so, Keystone's trailmap has viewed the resort at a slight angle, with Dercum prioritized, the clear “front side.”The new map, Sorensen tells us, whips the vantage around to the side, giving us a better view of Bergman and, consequently, of North Peak and Outback. Here's the old map (2022 on the left), alongside the new:And here's the two-part video series on making the map with Rad Smith:On Vail's new appI've driven round trip between New York City and Michigan hundreds of times. Most of the drive is rural and gorgeous, cruise-control country, the flat Midwest and the rolling mountains of Pennsylvania. Even the stretch of north Jersey is attractive, hilly and green, dramatic at the Delaware Water Gap. All that quaintness slams shut on the eastbound approach to the George Washington Bridge, where a half dozen highways collapse into the world's busiest bridge. Backups can be comically long. Hitting this blockade after a 12-hour drive can be excruciating.Fortunately, NJDOT, or the Port Authority, or whomever controls the stretch of Interstate 80 that approaches the bridge after its 2,900-mile journey from San Francisco, has erected signs a few dozen miles out that ominously communicate wait times for the GW's upper and lower decks. I used to doubt these signs as mad guesses typed in by some low-level state employee sitting in a control room with a box of donuts. But after a couple dozen unsuccessful attempts to outsmart the system, I arrived at a bitter realization: the signs were always right.This is the experience that users of Vail's new My Epic app can (hopefully) expect when it comes online this winter. This app will be your digital Swiss Army Knife, your Epic Pass/stats tracker/snow cam/in-resort credit card/GPS tracker with interactive trailmap. No word on if they'll include that strange metal spire that's either a miniature icepick or an impromptu brass knuckle. But the app will include real-time grooming updates and chairlift wait times. And if a roadsign in New Jersey can correctly communicate wait times to cross the George Washington Bridge, then Vail Resorts ought to be able to sync this chairlift wait-times thing pretty precisely.On Mt. Brighton being built from landfillDepending upon your point of view, Mt. Brighton, Michigan – which Sorensen ran from 2016 to 2018 – is either the most amazing or the most appalling ski area in Vail's sprawling portfolio. Two-hundred thirty vertical feet, 130 acres, five chairlifts, seven surface lifts, and about four trees, rising like some alt-world mini-Alps from the flatlands of Southeast Michigan.Why is it there? What does it do? Who would do such a thing to themselves? The answer to the first question lies in the expressways that crisscross three miles to the east: crews building Interstate 96 and US 23 deposited the excess dirt here, making a hill. The answer to the second question is: the place sells a s**t-ton of Epic Passes, which was the point of Vail buying the joint. And the answer to the third question is obvious as well: for the local kids, its ski here or ski nowhere, and little Midwest hills are more fun than you think. Especially when you're 12 and the alternative is sitting inside for Michigan's 11-month winter.On Keystone's potential West Ridge expansionSorensen refers to a potential “West Ridge” expansion, which does not appear on the 2009 trailmap. The ski area's 1989 masterplan, however, shows up to five lifts scaling West Ridge between North Peak and Outback (which was then called “South Peak”):On Keystone being among Colorado's least-snowy major resortsIt's a strange fact of geography that Keystone scores significantly less snow, on average, than its Colorado peers:This makes even less sense when you realize how close Keystone sits to A-Basin (115 more inches per season), Breck (118), and Copper (70):When I hosted OpenSnow founder and CEO Joel Gratz on the podcast last year, he explained Keystone's odd circumstances (as well as how the mountain sometimes does better than its neighbors), at the 1:41:43 mark.On pass prices across Summit County creeping up over the past several yearsSummit County was Ground Zero for the pass wars, during which a preponderance of mountains the size of Rhode Island fought to the death over who could give skiing away the cheapest. There are many reasons this battle started here, and many reasons why it's ending. Not the least of which is that each of these ski areas hosts the population of a small city every day all winter long. Colorado accounts for approximately one in four U.S. skier visits. The state's infrastructure is one rolled-over semi away from post-apocalyptic collapse. There's no reason that skiing has to cost less than a load of laundry when everyone wants to do it all the time.As a result, prices are slowly but steadily rising. Here's what's happened to pass prices at the four Summit County ski areas over the past six seasons:They've mostly gone up. Keystone is the only one that is less expensive to ski at now than it was in 2018 (on a season-pass basis). This chart is somewhat skewed by a couple of factors:* For the 2018-19 ski season, A-Basin was an unlimited member of the Epic Pass, Epic Local Pass, and Summit Value Pass, a fact that nearly broke the place. The drastic price drop from 2018 to '19 reflects A-Basin's first year outside Vail's coalition.* Vail cut Epic Pass prices 20 percent from the 2020-21 ski season to the 2021-22 campaign. That's why Breck and Keystone are approximately the same price now as they were before the asteroid attack, Covid.* Little-known fact: Copper Mountain sells its own season pass, separate from the Ikon Pass, even though the mountain offers unlimited access on both the Ikon Base and full Ikon passes.On Mr. OklahomaI don't want to spoil the ending here, but we do talk about this.The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

Dr. Leon S. Brenner is a philosopher and psychoanalytic theorist from Berlin. His work focuses on the integration of philosophical and linguistic frameworks in psychoanalytic theory of subjectivity and the understanding of the relationship between culture and psychopathology. He is a training analyst, studying member of the APPI and a founder of Lacanian Affinities Berlin (laLAB) and Unconscious Berlin. His latest book on the subject of the psychoanalysis of autism is called The Autistic Subject: On the Threshold of Language, where he presents a novel account of autistic subjectivity from a Lacanian psychoanalytic perspective. This week Leon joined us to discuss his ongoing work on the dermic drive, which evolved out of his work on autism stemming from his book, The Autistic Subject: On the Threshold of Language. Leon also joined us twice last year to discuss autism and the autistic rim, which are two very important components he builds on in his latest work on the skin and psychoanalysis.

How are you doing today? I'm really excited for you to hear this episode. I know I've been bringing on different guests with women's health. And you're like, "Okay, Les I got it." No, there's we got to keep talking about it because until it's common discussion, we have to keep talking about it. And today's guest is one of my favorite humans on this planet, you'll hear me introduce her in just a moment. But truly, she is a gift to this world not only with the knowledge she has, but the energy she has and her mission on this planet. And if you have a pelvic floor, which by the way, if you're listening to this you do whether you're male or female, someone has had a baby or not, this discussion is for you. And it is very important that you hear all these amazing words. And I am really excited for us to, as listeners, if we and people in this Be It pod community if we can all start to help women and men talk about and understand that you don't have to live with these things just because you had a child or just because you have this issue. Oh, well, you can keep going. No, it's just so important that we are aware that there are actions we can take. And there are options for us and you don't have to just live with it. And so Claire Sparrow is our guest today. And if you're watching this on YouTube, you will see that she is in Brad's seat, and it's actually quite fun. She was here this week in Las Vegas, and I've been looking forward to interviewing her all week long. This discussion is wonderful. And I can't wait to hear how you share this with your friends and the actions you take at the end.Hi Be It babes. Well, this is a very special, exciting moment because today's guest is actually in person with me. And what makes it even more exciting, you'll be able to hear it from her accent is that she doesn't even live here in Las Vegas. So we have a very special special moment for you. My guest today is Claire Sparrow, and this woman I have known for several years now. And she always brightens my ... like brightens the room, even though most of the time I've only ever seen her on a zoom screen. But what I love most about her and I can't wait is her mission on this planet, to help so many women with something that's so common, and we can we'll get into that in a moment. But Claire Sparrow, please introduce yourself to the Be It community.Claire Sparrow  Well, hello Lesley and hello the Be It community. It's great to be here. So I'm Claire Sparrow. And I am Scottish. And I live in the North of England in Leeds. And I have been teaching Pilates for over two decades. And I work specifically with women with chronic pelvic floor dysfunction who have come to the end of their wits, trying everything that is recommended to them and not having the results that they want or deserve, really, and I step in and give them hope. And the answers that they didn't even know were available to them.Lesley Logan  Well, I think I hate that people have to get to the wits and like, can you actually share, like, what brought you onto that journey? And if and if we can also why people have to get to the wits end. And before they can get help?Claire Sparrow  Yeah, so I mean, it comes as many things do when you find your mission, a lot of the time it's comes from personal experience. And for me, it certainly is the case. I have my own pelvic floor dysfunction after a traumatic birth, which led to birth injury. I then had a prolapse, which I believed I could heal through movement and breath and natural processes versus surgery. And I did that, and it's amazing. And I can do all of the things that I ever wanted to do with my three children, we climb trees, we run around, we play all the games we want to do, I am not afraid of trampoline. And so I mean, this week, I've been to the gym and done jumping jacks, and I have absolutely no fear whatsoever, because I've been able to restore the health of my pelvic floor. And many women don't even know that that's a possibility. So when I sat to to create my program, it was because more and more women were coming to me and just sort of mentioning on on the side, like as a secondary thing or and also I have a bit of incontinence or or and also I've got a prolapse. And most of the women that started to then come to me when I was building a reputation for helping other women, they would come to me because they had been recommended to do traditional exercises. They diligently done that for a good period of time and had expected to see a result, a change and a sustained change in that time. And unfortunately for some women, they were getting no change. And for some women their symptoms actually were getting worse by doing traditional methods.Lesley Logan  So by traditional methods are talking about for incontinence, you're not (Claire: So for ...) like the gym but like ...Claire Sparrow  No. So traditional methods of pelvic floor training, so pelvic floor exercises, some people might know key goals as an example, in the UK, we have an app called the Squeezy app, where you know, get reminders to squeeze your pelvic floor. And you know, and people say, you know, we see it in the media a lot where people say, "Yeah, I'm doing my pelvic floor exercises as we speak." And, and it's just not as simple as that is what I always say, you know, it's just not as simple as that, because it's part of our postural whole, it's part of our whole entire body. So to work something in isolation, it's just doesn't make sense. So those traditional exercises are what people have been doing, and many people have have actually had the women that I've worked with certainly have have made their symptoms worse, because they're strengthening that imbalance that's there in their pelvis, from posture or from a birth injury because I don't know if you know this, Lesley, but actually 90% of women who have had a vaginal birth have a birth injury.Lesley Logan  That is, so here's what's crazy to me if 90% of women is should obviously not someone who had has had a child, but I would imagine that you leave the hospital and there should be like, "Hey, and here's your pelvic floor health health referral. And here's these things and here..." None of that's happening.Claire Sparrow  No. So what what can happen is people will get an information leaflet to do traditional pelvic floor exercise ... So that's, that's what's out there in the mainstream. And that's, that's the challenge, actually, that I face and other people like myself doing this work in this way is that the traditional recommendation the, the easy route is this leaflet that's given out or a app that you can get on your phone. And we have to remember that these are women. You know, the first occurrence of the injury, if we talk specifically about pelvic floor injury and childbirth, the first instance they had an injury when giving birth, then they've now got another human that they're responsible for. (Lesley: Right) So I know, even as somebody in the know, when I had my child, I, it was a good six months before I started paying attention to me again. (Lesley: Right, right, right.) So that leaflet, I probably got one and didn't even you know, it just disappeared, (Lesley: Right) because you are so intently focused on this new responsibility.Lesley Logan  Well and that's also assuming that everything is fine, hormonally. So (Claire: Yeah) you're like not postpartum in any way (Claire: Correct) so that you can ... to go, "Oh, I had a leaflet, I think ..."Claire Sparrow  Correct. And some women don't even know that they've had a birth injury or acknowledge it as an injury that can be treated or improved upon in the way that if you sprained your ankle, you would treat that injury. (Lesley: Yeah) And we're not treating pelvic floor injury because it's inside us, internally. It's not seen.Lesley Logan  Yeah, and it makes me well, it's also it's also like the like, "Oh, here, do your Kegel." That's kind of like, well, we gave them something. (Claire: Oh yeah) And, and what it's probably terrible is that people feel embarrassed about these things. Because it is some of the things that the symptoms of it are a bit embarrassing, nobody wants to, to share that they like I remember growing up the women in my life, were like, "Don't make me laugh."Claire Sparrow  Yeah, yeah, that is a common common common statement, "Don't make me laugh." Or, you know that so many moms are avoiding the activities that they would like to be doing in their life, whether it's as a mum or just a women in the world, (Lesley: Yeah) because of fear of what might happen if they go to the trampoline park. Or if they go and join a running group, or if they want to do an adventure like you know, climbing a mountain, that they don't have the security and reliance on their pelvic floor to sustain them for those activities that they might want to do. And another piece of that is that those women who go and investigate and ask for some help, are more often than not told that their pelvic floor is weak, they're told that it's weak, and it needs to be strengthened. And in my experience, and even as I see it, I remember how this made me feel. I felt weak, it was more than my pelvic floor that they were saying was weak. I embodied emotionally, psychologically, weakness. And this is what I also see with a lot of the women that I work with that their their life is being determined by (Lesley: Yeah) the lack of reliability on the pelvic floor.Lesley Logan  Well, and as you said that so like, obviously we carefully but listening going, "Well, okay, well, it's okay. I don't need to be on trampoline. It's okay. I don't really want to rock climb." But like so let's exclude the, the activities because maybe people like, "I'm okay with that. It's okay, I won't do that again." The fact that you just said that you embodied and you felt weak. I have I wonder like, what all of that kept you from doing that was in your life that wasn't just chasing your kids around but like was like things on this planet that make you feel who you are.Claire Sparrow  Exactly. And I think that for me, I held back and had a lack of confidence. And it affected me a great deal actually. And I did have postnatal depression after my first because of the whole expedience and being told that my pelvic floor was weak and I would need to strengthen it even though that didn't make sense to me even then. And I think that there's many women that are in the same situation where they're not living their their potential because of this, and also, just to go back to say, you know, that if there are people listening who they think right now, I'm okay with that. I'm okay with not doing this in that. Okay, now, what happens in 20 or 30 years time? I work with women who are postnatal 30 years after they've given birth, because they've not known or been able to do something about the birth injury until 30 years later, till they've meet me and they've had, you know, they, I had a client who just stopped having sex, because her pain, and because her continence was affected when she did. So she just thought that's it. Sex life is over. And she's now 68 69. And she's having a great life. (Claire and Lesley laughs) And it is effects every imagine not feeling like a sexy, capable woman. (Lesley: Yeah) Like ...Lesley Logan  I mean and like, that's the thing like, it keep that kind of thing keeps you from like, that means she's not connecting with her partner, (Claire: Yeah) that means she's and then that (Claire: The relationships you're influenced.) that that changes how you feel, because now you don't even like that connection is something that is not even you can't even verbalize it, that is a different kind. And then that leads to other things in the relationship, which bleeds into the parts of your life. And it just doesn't make you feel all alone. (Claire: Yeah) And we can't do anything on this planet on our own. (Claire: Alone. Yeah.) We do it with community. So you said a couple things earlier, and just in case people have not known these words, can you explain first of all what our pelvic floor is? And, and then also prolapse just because I want to make sure everyone's on the same page.Claire Sparrow  Sure, I'm going to answer that. And I'm also going to say that just to round up the the future you piece. So I gave the example of the client who realized 30 years later, that she could do something about her pelvic floor. Also, when you go through the menopause and the hormones change, the injury that you had, when you had your child, then can become more of an issue. And that's when you think of that not jumping on the trampoline was fine when I was in my 30s and 40s. But now, actually, the result is that I've prolapsed because I didn't do the work air layer. So how thick organ prolapse is when an organ so uterus, for example, displaces from its natural resting place in the pelvis. A lot of the time and this is it's where language again, we talked about weakness. Another language piece is that it's described as when the organ falls out, nothing's falling out, have you ever, we're always still connected. And this idea of dropping and falling is just not very helpful. Because immediately and I even felt it myself, as I said the words there, I could feel myself like pulling in. I don't need to pull in, my body smart enough to do it for me when it's necessary. But what happens is that, that it creates more fear when we're thinking about something falling out of us. (Lesley: Yeah) Then I, yeah, I'm gonna cross my legs and I'm in a bit of fear now. Okay, it's not falling, it's displaced. Okay, so it's all held together in this stretchy mass. And when there's been a birth injury, so we're using this as the example. But it could also be overworking your glutes, for example, that this compensation has happened, it pools the organ out of place, out of alignment, rather than the organ of its own free will, dropping, it's not, it's being pooled there by attention and imbalance in the muscles or in the scar tissue from an injury.Lesley Logan  So that makes a lot of sense to me. Because, for example, I have the way I have the way I walk it over works this one part of my calf, which then pulls on my tibia, and it pulls on my tibia and just the way that it twist, just this twist a little bit and it's not like this visible thing that like I can see it happening, but just that little tiny degree puts a little bit of pain on my knee. There's nothing wrong with my knee. If I did an MRI, there's nothing like there's like nothing but if I massage that muscle, it releases and I don't have that pain. So what you're saying is either through birth injury or overworking of certain muscles in the area, we are pulling an organ out of place everything is supposed to live in a very equal balance thing. It's kind of like what, I feel like if my people love Pilates for it because Pilates is all about balancing our imbalances, (Claire: Exactly) but okay, so that makes a lot of sense to me. So thank you for clarifying because it does, I feel less scared that like something's going to drop out of my ...Claire Sparrow  Yeah, it's a balancing act all the time. And I think sometimes we can think like things just needs to be fixed, fixed in place still, it's there. And actually, as you know, as we go through our menstrual cycle, the organs are being pushed and moved and shifting and expanding and shrinking, and everything is dynamic all of the time, which is why your pelvic floor to go on to answer what is the pelvic floor? Pelvic floor is, it is a set of dynamic muscles. So it is not one muscle. So, you've got a set of three main muscles. And those muscles are interwoven, almost like a French braid, you know, like in a plant, okay, they're inter woven. And actually, the attached to the back of your pelvis, the front of your pelvis, and each of your sitting bones in your bottom, okay? And they're meant to, at the very least, expand and lengthen three times the resting length. (Lesley: Whoa) So and that happens, when you squat, when you get up and down out of a chair, it should happen. What we see a lot is that because we sit more, and we sit in, you know, more of a tilted under pelvis, so bottom tucked under that, that stopping the fanning out the expansion, that dynamic expansion, and if the muscles if you think about an elastic band, right, we can all visualize and elastic band stretching, okay? It needs to stretch, so it can ping back. (Lesley: Yeah) So that's what your pelvic floor needs to be able to do. It needs to be able to lengthen, so when you cough or sneeze, or jump on a trampoline, it can ping back for you.Lesley Logan  Right. And so when we're sitting all the time, we are not stretching it, we're not we're not ...Claire Sparrow  You are shortening the posterior pelvic floor. Most commonly when people are sitting in that tucked in position your tailbone ideally should be finding out behind you when you're saying so you're off on your pelvis.Lesley Logan  And so fascinated why I love my meditation chair, somehow (Claire: Yes, right.) I need to make that my desk chair. You know, this is so so this is very fascinating, because that is probably the most easy way to visualize it. And I think a lot of people just think of us as a amorphous like, floor that is like catching things.Claire Sparrow  And I always say it's actually not a floor, it's a diaphragm. Because it's not hard. It's not flat. It's not even parallel, is higher at the back because it is like it's just not how we visualize it. So even like using the word floor, we're living embodying it as something hard and flat. It's not it's like a diaphragm. It's got holes in it should be really flexible. (Lesley: Yeah) You know not how we think living in it.Lesley Logan  Yeah, that is that is really fascinating to me. Okay, a couple other things that I know our listeners or want to know because I get this question a lot. But I'm, clearly listeners, not a pelvic floor specialist. But I get this question all the time. Like, will Pilates help with my pelvic floor? And I, my go to is if the person you're working with is a pelvic floor specialist. Yes, it will. But if they're so is that wrong? Am I, am I under cutting other teachers and myself? Or is it true that like, like, is Pilates on its own enough? Or do people really do need to have someone who's a specialist to help Pilates along?Claire Sparrow  So I mean, that that's a big question. Because actually, you know, as we know, not all Pilates is the same. So not all teachers are going to teach the work in the same way. I would prefer someone with a specific pelvic floor disorder dysfunction to see someone whose whole body pelvic health informed that teaches Pilates. Pilates and using the apparatus is the best means, the best by far, but only if the cueing and the exercise selection is done appropriately for pelvic health. The we go back to the key goals example. So Dr. Kegel created these exercises, based on women using an internal device to stimulate the muscles, okay. And it was called biofeedback. Because there was a dysfunction there, the brain that didn't know how to get the messages to the pelvic floor, so they gave biofeedback. We can give biofeedback in Pilates without going internally with a device. The exercises he did were not meant to be standalone exercises they were to be in conjunction with the device. So we just need to do things that are going to re stimulate the brain to pelvic floor, you know the neural pathway to those muscles again, and that we can do with loads of great movements with Pilates but not by telling the pelvic floor muscles to do something. (Lesley laughs) Okay.Lesley Logan  So so if someone's saying, move from your pelvic floor, that's not the same (Claire: Not) as (Claire: Definitely not.) thank you for saying that. Yeah. (Claire laughs) I always wonder because I would hear people and I'm this is not if you're someone listening, you said this, like, I'm not trying to dismiss you or or (Claire: No) anything at all, I think that the intention is pure and there, but I will hear it. (Claire: Of course.) And I'm like, "Is that how it works?" I haven't taken a workshop. So I don't know. So that makes a lot more sense to me, it's less about telling the pelvic floor what to do and more about stimulating ...Claire Sparrow  Stimulating it. You, we need to give it the information that it needs to do the things we want it to do. So a lot of people will be avoiding jumping, for example, we can teach things on the Reformer, where we can do rapid movements supine, so laying on your back, doing rapid movements, that will stimulate but it's less load, so it's challenging it less, but still in the right direction, before we can get them upright. So we need to train it for what we want it to do, but in a way that it's responding naturally. Because you can't like every time you want to cough or sneeze, tell the pelvic floor to do something, because it's too slow. We know from neuroscience, that by doing using imagery, or using the stimulus of the Pilates exercises, or the apparatus, that we get a much quicker response than our cognitive brains can make happen.Lesley Logan  Oh, I mean, that's it that is so true. I think like I always say we do Pilates to do life better. And like, you know, I say, I'm just here to help people fall better is really what it is. (Claire: Yeah) And that really came from many years ago, I had this woman in her 80s. And my people heard my podcast before have heard me say this, if you've heard me on a podcast at someone's, I would teach her the marching exercise, the archival standing, like just standing there marching without shifting the weight back and forth. And she'd go, "Why are we doing this?" And I'm like, "You're doing it for a minute. (Claire: Yeah) You're doing it." And she's like, "Why are we doing this?" I said, "Because when you miss a step, I want your body to know how to catch itself. Because if you always have to shift your weight to put a foot down, you're not going to do this." And sure enough, like, I really wish like, I feel like we put it out into the world. But that next day, she was out walking on Rodeo Drive, she was walking down these steps. And these are very weird steps, y'all. They're very, they're rounded at cement steps. And they're rounded. And they're quite shallow. And they're from this beautiful shopping center where the Cartier and the high end designers are. (Claire: Wow) And of course she's going there and she's walking down the steps. And she had her hands, she had one hand and a phone had a phone and the other hand had a bag. So she has not had no hands on a rail. That's fine, love that she, love that she's bravein' it at 80 something. She misses a step. And she said her body just took over ... Like you can't see me if you're not watching on YouTube, but her fluent ... and she would like she floated down the steps. (Claire: Amazing) It is not because she told her brain, "Okay, cue marching." Because we trained her body to to know it could do these things. And, you know, I can't be there with you when you reach for the top shelf, to grab something. But if I've taught you how to reach around from your back, so that you don't pull something, then in time you will do your body will do that. And so what you're saying is, our goal is to teach the pelvic floor how to move on its own. So that (Claire: Responsively) when there isn't a reason for it to connect it does it.Claire Sparrow  Correct. Correct. And that we are, our bodies are smarter than our brains are. (Lesley laughs) This is the thing, like we keep trying to outsmart our bodies. And this is not sustainable. We need to give the body the tools, give it the resources so that it can heal, and then be responsive to life. So that we can really do whatever we wanted. And is to do whatever you want to do. You know, one of my clients recently messaged me and she was like, "I just played cricket with my boys." And it was just like the best thing that you know, she started the program with me. And that was not possible for her. She had a prolapse and it was not. It just wasn't possible for her. And now she's restored her prolapse and she just was like, "I didn't even think about it and I was playing cricket."Lesley Logan  Oh, I love that so much because it really is like it's there are so many things they miss out on life when we are worried about what could happen. And and it's not even just about the cricket. It's about her having a shared experience with her boys. (Claire: Yeah) That her boys don't look back and go, "Oh, my mom never played with us."Claire Sparrow  Correct (Lesley: You know) and that's the future of her children to see what what's possible. Um, and you know, I have boys, and I educate my boys about pelvic health, so they know exactly what I do. And they can explain to other people what I do.Lesley Logan  I love that so much.Claire Sparrow  You know. That and I just feel like, it's not just a woman's problem. You know, I know. And I don't mean yes, men have pelvic floors, too. But I mean, women need to feel supported by everybody in the world, with their pelvic health, and we're not talking about it with our mothers, sisters and friends, let alone our partners and our male friends. We need to open up that conversation so much more. Because the minute, it's like anything a problem shared is a problem hafted (Lesley: Yeah) at least.Lesley Logan  Yeah, I love that. That is a beautiful way of saying. Well, and so for people listening, can people have, can pe... can women who have not had a child have pelvic floor issues? (Claire: Of course) And then can men have pelvic floor issues?Claire Sparrow  Of course. So pelvic floor, I mean, some people maybe don't even know what the issues might be, what the dysfunctions might be. I mean, incontinence is of course, one of the obvious ones. And that can be you know, you could leak a bit of wee or it could be the other both incontinence as are true. And pelvic organ prolapse. Okay, so when an organ displaces, that's another dysfunction. Sciatic pain is a result of pelvic floor dysfunction very, very often. Low back pain, sacroiliac joint pain can be a result of dysfunction in the pelvis. If you think about it, like super basically, and logically, your pelvis is in the middle, it's got this your center of gravity in it, everything from from your feet, travels up through your pelvis, everything from above, travels down through your pelvis. It's like the superhighway. Everything is passing through there. So massive junction, there's loads of nerves that run through there. There's nerves, so your sciatic nerve, your pudendal nerve, for example, they're really close to each other, and they're squished in by loads of muscles. And if those muscles are over, working, there are strangling those (Lesley: Yeah) nerves, and then you get nerve pain. The pudendal nerve, for example, can give you stabbing pains in your vagina. Some people can't sit down, let alone have sex, let alone wear clothing that's actually in contact with them. (Lesley: Wow) Because the nerve pain can be so bad. And there's different specific nerve conditions that we don't need to talk about. But I think, you know, you could have fallen and broken your coccyx at some point. If you fail. You know, if you fell snowboarding, for example, and hit your bum. (Lesley: Yeah) You could have a pelvic floor because you've had a little trauma. (LEsley: Yeah) You know, to that if you've you know, if you've ridden a bike, a lot male or female, that repetitive strain of sitting in the saddle ...Lesley Logan  So I'm like picturing like things the years where people were going to the spin class five days a week for 45 minutes.Claire Sparrow  Oh, my goodness, yeah. And there's the load is going through the pelvis, not really through the feet. So yeah, it's that huge, huge. People who sit a lot for work. So people who take driving jobs, particularly because often the alignment of the seats can put a lot of pressure on. So it really isn't just women that have had children. (Lesley: Yeah) Men, so a good kind of indicator that your pelvic floor is maybe not doing as well as it could be. It's not responsive, as responsive as it could be. If you're a male, and you're up in the night for a wee. That's not normal.Oh, that's interesting.So that is definitely something that needs to be addressed. Men should be getting their prostate checked as a number one, and then everything's okay there, then you need to be looking at the function of your pelvic floor. Usually with men, they've got much more of that posterior pelvic position even than, than women's do so like a tucked under, we call it tucky bottom or ducky bottom. (Lesley and Claire laughs)Lesley Logan  I always would tell my clients, like, "You're gonna have an old man." But like, "What does that mean?" I'm like, "Where it's like it's just gone." (Claire: What? What's wrong? Yeah.) Oh, wow. This is, you know, it's so fascinating to me that hearing this is like, if you're listening, some of you or someone you know, has a pelvic floor issue. (Claire: For sure.) Like, that's basically how many people this is. And we are so concerned with what we look like (Claire: Oh yeah) that like we are not paying attention to making sure that from the inside out, we are supporting our functions so that we can be out there engaging with people in a way that is less self conscious. Like all I hear about when I, when I hear any kind of pelvic floor, I just think there has got to be so much mind, focus on what will happen if that you're not even present at the moment with the people that you love. So therefore, you can't even see an opportunity to say, "Hey, I want to sign up for that, or I'd be perfect for this role." Like in this the reason I love to talk about women's health and obviously, this affects men too. But it's like, too often I see health issues are the keeping people from saying, "Hi, I'm ready for this."Claire Sparrow  For sure. And women are all ready. We know that women are not stepping up in the same way as men are stepping up. I think it's something like, you know, a woman or look at the the job description. And if they they would have to be 100% (Lesley: Yeah) on that job description. (Lesley: Yeah) Where's the man go, "Yeah, I'm about 65% there. I'm totally up for this." (Lesley: Yeah) And I think it plays into that, you know, we're already not as inclined to step up and shine. And then we add this into the mix, where there are people telling us were weak, we should accept it, because we had children. It's just because of your age, there is nothing that can be done. You, the only answer is to do traditional exercises. (Lesley: Yeah) What do you expect you had, you know, three children, whatever it is, but we were not being told what possible. You know, I say that because I was literally told, well, this is just to be expected.Lesley Logan  I mean, and that's like that I keep quoting just move along, because we had her on early earlier this year to talk about women's health. And she said just because it's common doesn't mean it's normal. (Claire: No) And like, the the anger that gets inside me were like, oh, well, you had three children. As if you're like, you know, what I'm signing myself up for like, like, this is ... not a trade off.Claire Sparrow  No, no. I need one of my clients. And I think this is it's driven my mission even further recently to set some bigger goals, because one of my clients said to me, you know, you're the voice of hope. And I, it's in that moment that I realized that it's actually more than the the movement that I've created to teach people and all of the Pilates piece of it, it's actually getting out there in the world so that women know that there is something that they can do, because there are so many strong voices out there saying, you know, just accept it. And it's just not.Lesley Logan  Yeah, I think I mean, I think that's one of the things I mean I love so much about you. But like one of the things that that makes me want to continue to see what you're up to is you do bring hope, because I think about all the women and how you can help them because you, if you're in will, we'll take a brief moment of a break to find how you can help, how you can be helped by Claire without being in the UK. But the work you're doing goes beyond just the people in your community. And it is even just us having this conversation. You all like I'm gonna say it right now, you have to be we have got to be talking to women about these things. Because we need to make sure it is actually normal to say, you know, I actually don't go on a trampoline, like we actually sit because this is why so that people can go, "Oh, hey, I actually have so that's not let me help you with that," you know. (Claire: Yeah) Like, we just I know that's such a simple way to distill it down to but we're one of a woman who's in the Pilates industry as well, we were talking about, like, I'm not menopausal yet. But I feel like it's probably going to be earlier for me than then most. And she was like, "Here's all the things that I wish I had known to do at 40. Because if I had started then I would be in a better place." And I was like, "Oh, well thank you for my handbook. So I can go prepare myself for this race."Claire Sparrow  Correct. And I think, you know, when it comes to pelvic health, we need to be educating young. It's why you know, I'm teaching my boys they know so that when they have women in their life, whoever that might be, they are able to help support and inform them. And you know, I give specific strategies to the women that I work with about how they can have conversations with their young children with their girls so that we are making the effort to educate sooner rather than later we have to preempt (Lesley: Yeah) you know, and prepare.Lesley Logan  Yeah. Okay, well, we're gonna take a brief break and then find out where people can find you, follow you, work with you.Claire, I mean, we could talk about this for hours I feel like and you, and you have plenty of resources for that. So where can people find you, follow you? Can they work with you? Can they study with you? What what do you have to offer?Claire Sparrow  Sure. So my method is whole body pelvic health and that is where you will find me. It's wholebodypelvichealth.co.uk. I said to Brad recently, I'm really proud, I thought hard about whether I was going to be com or .co.uk and I'm really proud to be .co.uk. So you can find me at wholebodypelvichealth.co.uk. I'm also on Instagram, but I'm just me on Instagram. So it's @claireparrowpilates on Instagram, and I do a lot of videos there. You can also find me on YouTube. And that is Clear Spiral Pilates as well. And I do have loads of free resources there. My online course is at the website. So I have a whole massive membership course, where we lead you from understanding the anatomy piece, all the way to the classes, every class you will need. And within the course, we have a women's health physiotherapist who leads you through if you have a birth injury, how to self treat your birth injury. So we've got absolutely everything in there. And then the membership piece means that you have me to ask questions at any time in our closed Facebook group.Lesley Logan  Amazing. This is very exciting, y'all. Please check those things out and follow Claire, make sure you hear, you share whatever takeaways you have by tagging her and the @be_it_pod. We'd love to hear how this is helping you or the women in your life or the men in your life who maybe are getting up in the middle of night. Before I let you go BE IT action items. Bold, executable, intrinsic, targeted steps we can take to be it till we see it.Claire Sparrow  Okay, so the first thing is to talk about it. I truly believe that healing begins by talking and talking about how you're feeling about your pelvic health, we need to open up that conversation. Talk to anybody who will listen and get the conversation going. The second thing is, could we just let it go? Some of the basic things that you can do without even coming to do class or anything with me is if you know that you have a dysfunction, so maybe you've been told that you have a prolapse, that automatic response to squeeze pooling, we'll get into that fear mode that actually isn't helping you. So if you could just let it go, then you will begin to heal just by letting it go. And the next thing I would say is to breathe, can you breathe down there. Often I see with women that the pooling in prevents the breath from reaching the pelvic floor. And because your pelvic floor works in direct correlation with your breathing diaphragm, they need to be able to talk to each other and if we pulled in, they can't talk. So once you've let it go, you need to start focusing on your breath. Let the bones of your pelvis actually move when you breathe and that will work wonders for you.Lesley Logan  Oh my gosh, I found myself like making sure I was breathing all the way down there. Like, "Am I, am I, am I breathing all the way down there."Claire Sparrow  Yeah. Especially into the pubic bone because a lot of people work a lot through their their abs and the lower abdominal muscles we've entered the pelvic floor and so if you've pulled in locks down those abdominal muscles then that can stop the breath down there.Lesley Logan  Yeah. Oh my gosh Claire. I adore you and I'm so grateful that you are on this planet and and out there sharing your work. It's just so beautiful to see and I know that you are so many lives are going to be touched because of what you're doing. Thank you for being here. Thank you everyone for listening. Again, please tag the @be_it_pod, tag @clairesparrowpilates with your takeaways. Share this episode with a friend and for those of you who are like, "I don't understand how to tag." Then please just text this episode. You can even just like screenshot it but there is a little way on whatever device you're listening to, to actually just share it and you can text and that is not not only does that help the podcast but it actually is going to help women all over this world because it goes back to that BE IT action item that I was talking about it.

A fascinating insight into the world of women's health and the issues around menopause and endometriosis. This has come about from the brilliant Channel 4 documentary hosted by Davina McCall called – Sex, Myths and Menopause. Davina highlighted many of the challenges around these issues, the possibility that science has failed women in its resources, support and understanding and how talking about these challenges is vital in helping all women going through these issues. I chat to women's health and pelvic health specialists Emily Elgar and Pippa Carter. They are also our APPI specialist presenters, and creators of our women's Health Programs and courses.  It's a long chat and full of great information, as well as recommendations for resources that are available for us as an industry and our clients. A huge thank you to Emily and Pippa for their time and expertise and we hope you enjoy the podcast.

Japan's Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI) becomes effective on April 1, 2022. The APPI strengthens the country's comprehensive personal data privacy code and affects all businesses that collect or process personal information of Japanese residents. Yugo Nagashima of Frost Brown Todd LLC explores four key developments that affect global business: 1. “Person Related Information” – a new category of data – with consent required to transfer such data to a person related information handler. 2. Extra-Territorial Reach – Instead of an adequacy approach (like the EU), Japan requires a business that will handle Japanese personal information outside Japan to have the consent of those persons after a clear description of the data privacy laws of the foreign jurisdiction. 3. Data Breach Notification – A two-step notification process is mandatory for data breaches, with a low threshold of 1,000 persons triggering a mandatory notification. 4. Pseudonymous Information – Specific definition of pseudonymized data and exemption from data breach notification when pseudonymous data has been hacked.

Amazon has changed the way we read, and the way we shop.  Could they change the way we consume audio?Respected podcast journalist Ashley Carman reported in the Verge this week about an Amazon plan called "Project Mic."  The idea is to combine elements of Clubhouse, traditional radio and more, to turn anyone into a DJ - with the ability to create content with music.  These programs can be then streamed over Audible, Amazon Music, Twitch, and Alexa-equipped devices.  You can read Carman's scoop here: https://www.theverge.com/2021/10/26/22744585/amazon-project-mic-launch-live-audio-appI wonder what affect that could have on podcasting, as Amazon is already diving into the space.  And they've already shown they have the power to disrupt industries.   Also, what affect could that have on radio?  Will it take someone from outside the industry to revolutionize it?  Great piece on this from Fred Jacobs of Jacobs media this week. https://jacobsmedia.com/if-radio-wont-reinvent-itself-maybe-someone-else-will/A couple of Facebook execs made an appearance on the New Media show with Blubrry's Todd Cochrane and Libsyn's Rob Greenlee, to talk about what their company is doing with podcasts and audio. You can see or hear the show here. https://newmediashow.com/2021/10/21/facebook-podcasting-team/Podcast guru Tom Webster says to remember that Facebook isn't looking to help you boost your audience - it wants to bring your audience to THEIR platform.  Webster's suggestion: use short clips to get people's attention, then they can easily find your show.  Think about it.   For as much as we mindlessly scroll through our feeds, how often do we consume a very long piece of content - audio, video, or text?  Not too often.  He's not wrong. https://tomwebster.media/look-for-the-flowers/Spotify is dipping its toes in the water of video.  They are allowing select users of their Anchor platform to publish video versions of podcasts, which can then be consumed on Spotify, Smart TV's, and other devices.  My take: it's something to keep an eye on to see if it gets any traction.   But the Anchor app is still largely for hobbyists and has its issues.  Don't use this news as a reason to head over there. https://techcrunch.com/2021/10/21/spotify-opens-up-access-to-video-podcast-publishing-to-anchor-creators/Finally, I often speak about the intimacy of audio.  It's why a podcast can connect with an audience the way video can't.  It's why you feel like you "know" your favorite podcast host just like you felt you "knew" your favorite morning show host.  Well, someone is taking the phrase "intimacy of audio" and running with it.  Enter "Heart to Heart," a new dating service that uses audio as a matchmaking tool.  The startup has raised $750,000 in pre-seed funding. Sounds intriguing for those of us that have the proverbial "face for radio." https://techcrunch.com/2021/10/25/heart-to-heart-dating-pre-seed/Quick reminder - if a podcast is part of your 2022 marketing strategy, that's what I do.  Let me help - find me online at jagindetroit.com.   Until next week, stay healthy and stay safe.

Sesselja Ingibjörg Barðdal Reynisdóttir framvkæmdarstjóri Eims kom til okkar og ræddir styrkina og nýsköpunarumhverfið á landsbyggðinni. Anna Sigríður Þráinsdóttir mætti til okkar og fór yfir málfar Hópur sem kallar sig Flóruvinir standa í sumar fyrir átaki sem gengur út á að stoppa í götin á útbreiðslukortum háplantna. Þeir Pawel Wasowich og Starri Heiðmarsson starfa báðir sem grasafræðingar hjá Náttúrufræðistofnun auk þess að vera meðlimir í Flóruvinum. Við fengum þá Pawel og Starra til okkar og fræddumst nánar um hvað felst í sumarátaki Flóruvina Ólafur Kristján Ragnarsson verkefnastjóri hjá embætti Landlæknis fór yfir Covid appið með okkur og sagði okkur hvernig það virkar. Hann stýrði þróun á því en ný útgáfa var kynnt á dögunum þar sem Blu-tooth tækni er notuð við rakninguna. Þá hafa skilaboð sem berast í appið ekki borist þangað rétt og fólk ekki náð að skoða þau. Laxveiðiár eru ýmist að opna fyrir veiðimenn þessa dagana eða hafa opnað. Við tókum púlsinn á veiðimönnum með því að fá til okkar veiðisnillinginn Brynjar Þór Hreggviðsson. Halldór Halldórsson, fyrsti hjarta og lungnaþeginn á Íslandi mælist ekki með mótefni þrátt fyrir tvær sprautur í bólusetningu fyrir Covid-19. Hann var á línunni og sagði okkur hvernig þetta snýr að honum og þá stöðu sem hann og fólk sem svipað er ástatt fyrir eru í. Ef bólusetning dugar ekki, þá hvað? Og hvað með fyrri bólusetningar?

Happy Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month! On this episode of Popping The Bubble, we invited three guests—Chloe Chisholm, Min Lee, and Kyle Layne-Allen—to speak about what it means to stand in solidarity with the AAPI community. We engaged in deep and reflective conversation about what “allyship” truly means and looks like. The lack of representation for the APPI community and the scarcity of knowledge about what they face is not talked about as much as it should be. We hope that this episode serves as a gateway for people to be better allies. Thanks for listening and engaging with us! 

This is the second of a 2-part series that will explore Lacanian psychoanalysis, the unconscious, and subjectivity from a Lacanian perspective. Specifically, Dr. Brenner discusses a compelling argument that autism is a singular subjective structure, a mode of being that is not reducible to psychosis. He elucidates foreclosure in autism and psychosis, and further explains that autistic subjects do not have access to the symbolic order. Instead, the early foreclosure for the autistic subject provides a different mode of access to language through signs, the basic linguistic unit. At the end of the episode, we talk briefly about society's social effect on how autism unravels, or causes many people to find refuge in rejection. In spite of Dr. Brenner not engaging with this topic directly in his book, we discuss how his theory of the psyche can progress psychoanalytic vocabulary, which can then influence the work of political activists. Dr. Leon S. Brenner is a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Potsdam, a prospective postdoctoral fellow at the University of Ghent and lecturer at the International Psychoanalytic University, Berlin. He is a member of the APPI, LOB, and a founder of Lacanian Affinities Berlin (laLAB) and Unconscious Berlin. His latest book on the subject of the psychoanalysis of autism is called The Autistic Subject: On the Threshold of Language, where he presents a novel account of autistic subjectivity from a Lacanian psychoanalytic perspective.

Margir standa nú frammi fyrir því að skila og skipta jólagjöfum. Margir hugsa örugglega um hvað þeir ætla að gera við alla nýju hlutina, hvar eigi að koma þeim fyrir? Gjafir gætu tekið stakkaskiptum með inneignarforritinu YAY (jei) þar sem fólk sendir gjafabréf rafrænt á milli og getur selt á endursölumarkaði ef inneignin hentar því ekki. Ragnar Árnason, einn stofnanda YAY, fer yfir hvernig forritið gæti breytt gjafamarkaðinum í framtíðinni. Árlegt skila og skiptakapphlaupið er hafið. Við hverju getum við búist? Við heyrum í Brynhildi Pétursdóttur, framkvæmdastjóra Neytendasamtakanna, til að fara yfir helstu hindranir. Við fáum hana einnig til að rýna í það neytendamál sem stendur upp úr á árinu. Fréttir vikunnar: Fæðing frelsarans, færðin og hvít jól. Flest höfum við frekar hámhorft á sjónvarp en drukkið í okkur fréttir. Við ætlum að gera upp jólavertíðina með Andrési Magnússyni, framkvæmdastjóra Samtaka verslunar og þjónustu, og Guðrúnu Jóhannesdóttur, eiganda verslunarinnar Kokku, en hún stækkaði verslun sína með eldhúsvörur á Laugaveginum á árinu. Ragnheiður Ragnarsdóttir sundkona hefur söðlað um og gerst leikkona. Hún leikur nú eitt burðarhlutverka í Vikings, Gunnhild, konu Björns Járnsíðu. Við ræðum við Röggu Ragnars um þessi skipti og þættina.
