What does beauty have to do with fear, faith, and the future? In this compelling conversation, Dr. Carol sits down with former Muslim and now author and pastor Naeem Fazal to explore how beauty is not just aesthetic; it's transformational. Naeem shares his powerful personal story of overcoming deep fear and rejection, and how beauty is bound up in the very life of relationship with God. “Beauty has the power to shape our souls,” he says. And in a world that feels increasingly fractured, that truth matters more than ever. Together they unpack why loss and failure don't have to define your story, how rejection can become redirection, and how the pursuit of beautiful relationships may be among the most godly and courageous things we can do. If you've struggled to find hope after disappointment or long to live less afraid of what's ahead, this episode will invite you to see your own journey through a lens that's full of joy, hope and beauty. Connect with Naeem Fazal on his website, YouTube, X, or Instagram.

Something is shifting. Quietly, deeply, and with a rhythm I can finally hear.In this new episode of A Free Spirit Life, I'm opening up about the evolution I've been moving through — a tender but powerful journey from over-efforting to trust, from hustle to harmony.For years, I've taught, coached, healed, created. But something recently cracked open. In the stillness of a Colorado summer reset — under the ponderosa pines and wide mountain sky — I began to feel a deeper alignment with my own rhythm. And with that, a clear message:Let it come. Let it unfold. Let it be easier.This episode weaves my story — the threads of yoga, voice, nature, healing, and soul work — into a new song. A quieter, deeper one. I share how I'm stepping into a new season of my work, my creativity, and my offerings… and how, maybe, you are too.

Logic dictates that when swimming, if sharks appear, one should quickly get out of the water. But we're talking Sharknado, so when sharks appear, one should quickly grab a beverage, some snacks and a spot on the couch, because you're going to be ambushed by an onslaught of bad puns, worse CGI and a whole lot of fun. Our sharkfest continues as we attempt to prove that Shaknado 4: The 4th Awakens is not that bad. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A quick shout out, this being the modern equivalent of a tip of the hat to Richard, who has made a significant donation to help me host this series. I was flabbergasted when receiving the Paypal payment. We have communicated over the years so this is just to say, thank you from the bottom of my heart Richard. When I'm next in Ireland, I promise to buy you a couple of rounds of St James' Blessing. What's this? A cacophony of digging? Must be significant. The date is somewhere in March 1867. A month after young Erasmus Jacobs had found an interesting stone near Hopetown near the Free State Border, but also near the newly formed Transvaal and Griqualand. The world of diamonds swirls with myth and legend, fiction, fact. Diamonds glitter with dangerous promise — alluring but transient in their fortunes, hard as truth, and just as capable of cutting those who reach for them unprepared. The rock that was found at Hopetown was placed on the table of the Cape Assembly shortly thereafter by Sir Richard Southey, the Colonial Secretary with the words “Gentlemen, this is the rock on which the future success of South Africa will be built…” Before Southey's dramatic flourish, the initial response from officialdom was disbelief. For as long as anyone could remember, and this went all the way back to the VOC in 1660s, there had been rumours of great mineral treasure in the north. A kind of disinformation campaign was launched by Jan van Riebeeck because from the time of his arrival he expressed belief in the possibility of a successful search for the traditional golden realm of Monomotapa. It was imperative to drum up more cash for the new tavern of the seas, and he was trying to convince the VOC of the exaggerated value of their new outpost. And women in South Africa were taking notice, which probably from a 21st Century point of view appears somewhat unlikely. Mary Elizabeth Barber had an important role to play in South Africa's geological science. The year 1867 was characterised by drought, and a severe depression made worse by reports that the completion of the Suez Canal would ruin all trade with the Cape. So it wasn't a moment too soon, so to speak, that Diamonds were discovered. Nearly two hundred years had passed since van Der Stel's memorable expedition across what he called de Groote Rivier, the Gariep, the Orange. IT was on the Orange River, sixty kilometres above its junction with the Vaal River, that a village sprang up. Hopetown. By all reports a thriving little settlement, with a number of farms dotted along the river banks nearby. The Koranna and the Griqua lived nearby, at the towns of Pniel and Hebron. Switch to 1867. Picture the scene, sheep and goats, Erasmus Jacobs were doing what Boer boys did, he was roaming the veld, playing on the edge of the river. Here were garnets with their rich carmine flush, the fainter rose of the carnelian, the bronze of jasper, the thick cream of chalcedony, agates of motley hues, rock crystals shining in the light like beckoning stars. Lesser stones, not diamonds, nor valuable gems. From one of these multi-coloured beds Erasmus and his siblings filled their pockets with stones thinking they could play a game of ducks and drakes. For the uninitiated town based gaslight grazer, ducks and drakes is the game of skimming stones. Whomever skims the stone the furthest or with the most hops, wins. Simple game, but when you have no toys, stones are your friends. Luckily for the future of South Africa, Erasmus decided against skimming the diamond, and took it home. There it joined a pile of other shining stones he'd collected like a magpie. It was odd, this stone, and his widowed mother Mrs Jacobs mentioned it to a neighbour, the farmer Meneer Schalk van Niekerk.
This week in the Labyrinth, we're firing up the hyperjets and diving helmet-first into the big news: Spaceballs 2 is officially happening! Mel Brooks is back as Yogurt (yes, seriously), and he's bringing Rick Moranis and Bill Pullman with him. We break down everything we know so far about the upcoming Amazon sequel—including the “definitely not a reboot but kinda is” franchise expansion and Josh Gad's mysterious role. Will we finally get Merchandising 2: The Merchandising? Then we ask: What the hell happened to movie catchphrases?From “Bueller...Bueller...” to “I'll be back,” Gen X grew up quoting our favorite flicks. But nowadays, catchphrases are just callbacks or punchlines. Is it laziness? Nostalgia fatigue? Or is Hollywood too scared to get meme'd?
