Podcasts about BBC News

Melissa Jun Rowley is an author, journalist, and global communications strategist whose career has taken her across some 75 countries, from the startup ecosystems of Silicon Valley and Beirut to the front lines of climate activism and conflict reporting. She has produced business news for CNN, reported for BBC News, co-founded a humanitarian tech platform with Peter Gabriel called The Toolbox, and most recently served as Director of Communications at the environmental nonprofit REVERB, leading campaigns with artists including Billie Eilish and Dave Matthews Band to mobilize fans around climate action. She is currently pursuing a Mid-Career Master in Public Administration at Harvard University, and her new book, Beyond the Mic Drop: How Our Stories Shift Culture, Power and Policy, is a call to every person to recognize the storytelling power they already carry.Our conversation moved from the origins of the book to the deeper question of why so many of us, women especially, have quietly surrendered control over our own narratives. Melissa traced that surrender back to childhood, describing how the stories handed to us by families, institutions, and systems can calcify into what feels like fixed fact until we learn to question them. She talked about what her time in Lebanon, Puerto Rico, and across the Middle East taught her about the gap between the story a place is assigned by mainstream media and the stories actually being lived on the ground, and how that gap mirrors what happens to individual people who let others do their narrating for them.

Rosa Hunt looks at the ethical and religious implications of AI's growing involvement in our lives.The second of two programmes looks at our relationship with AI in our religious lives. Might Artificial Intelligence become our priest - or even our King?Rosa talks to: Marius Dorobantu, a theologian specialising in the intersection of science and religion at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam; Zoe Kleinman, BBC News' technology correspondent; Jonas Summerlin, researcher at the University of Vienna in Austria who's recently mounted an AI-led church service; and John Lennox, Oxford mathmetician and Christian apologist who writes about the interface of science, philosophy and religion.This edition of All Things Considered was recorded in 2023. Since it was first broadcast, the world of artificial intelligence has moved from the margins into everyday life.We're revisiting conversations recorded at a time when generative AI was only just beginning to capture the public imagination. Some of the predictions, hopes and concerns you'll hear may seem remarkably prescient; others reflect a moment before the technology's rapid acceleration became clear. Yet many of the ethical, social, and spiritual questions raised by our contributors remain as relevant today as they were when the programme was first broadcast.As you listen, it's worth remembering that these discussions took place in a very different technological landscape. But hearing how much has changed in such a short time makes them especially valuable: they offer a snapshot of a time when wider society was beginning to understand what artificial intelligence might mean for our future.

Drew Forsyth is an award-winning portrait photographer and director based in the North West of England, working with commercial and advertising clients across the UK and internationally. His work centres on people who've given everything to be extraordinary at what they do — from dancers with English National Ballet and musicians of the BBC Philharmonic and the Hallé Orchestras, to Nobel Prize-winning scientists, politicians, and performers at the height of their careers. His photography has been featured by BBC News, The Guardian, The Times, and Rolling Stone, and recognised by the Royal Society of the Arts. He's an AOP Accredited Photographer and Fellow of the RSA, and speaks internationally at events like Photo North, Pas de Deux Photo Conference, and the Royal Photographic Society.In this episode, Drew and Nikki trace his path from a JCPenney-style family portrait studio to photographing world leaders, Nobel laureates, and major corporate campaigns — and he breaks down exactly how he prices that work today. They dig into setting boundaries on set (and how to say yes to more without losing your mind), why those early "conveyor belt" studio years became his real technical training, and why he believes his biggest competition isn't other photographers — it's being forgotten. Drew also walks through how he actually quotes corporate jobs (day rates, itemized breakdowns, and the cautionary tale of a client who blamed him for "cheap-looking" dresses), how personal passion projects like his "Breaking Ground" series and a helicopter shoot over Manhattan became his best marketing, and the "Helsinki Bus Station Theory" — his framework for why so many photographers give up on their style right before it becomes distinctive.Topics covered:Setting boundaries with clients without losing bookingsWhy "conveyor belt" studio work builds indispensable technical skillsThe accidental path from individual sessions to corporate/organizational clientsPricing corporate shoots: day rates, itemized quotes, and scope questionsWhy past-client relationships and personal introductions beat cold outreachMarketing through consistent presence, not constant hard-sellingPassion projects as a client-acquisition strategyThe Helsinki Bus Station Theory: staying the course creativelyIf you're building a photography business, want to grow your portrait photography income, or are curious about how to make money from photography online, this conversation is packed with actionable advice.

Ep. 239 | Renowned gerontologist and author Dr. Kerry Burnight is passionate about changing the way we think about aging. Growing older isn't a bad thing, she emphasizes, let's look at what gets better as we get older! Early in Dr. Kerry's career, she marveled at how elderly people with the same degree of physical health could be absolutely miserable or happily engaged with life, and she dug into finding out why. Her research revealed four pillars of aging that together make all the difference in the quality of our well-being. Kerry urges us to adopt these practices as soon as we can, because just like with cardiovascular training, the earlier we start, the more benefit we accrue. In fact, the evidence is clear: research shows that people who have a “decline mindset” about aging die an average of seven years earlier than their counterparts with a “growth mindset.” It seems our beliefs about aging can easily become self-fulfilling prophecies.Finding joy in the second half of life involves not only cultivating connection and growth among other things, but also, very importantly, countering our own internalized ageism. Dr. Kerry gives some telling examples of common derogatory thoughts we have about ourselves as we age, and shows us how we can turn this around and step into our power as older people. In a moving testament to the special beauty and authenticity of the elderly, Kerry expresses gratitude for her opportunities as a gerontologist to be infused with the presence of her patients, in all their humility and greater appreciation of friendships, nature, music, art—of life itself. A poignant, lovely, illuminating, and inspiring conversation with someone who lives her talk and is making a meaningful difference in a culture that has lost its way in its approach to aging and caring for elders.

Fed up with the fear-driven, anti-aging hysteria, millions of people turn to her for a proven approach to navigating the new longevity—one based upon a profound truth: the key to good longevity isn't the length of your life, it's the quality of your life. Efforts to maximize lifespan, and even healthspan, don't address the whole picture. Longevity is meaningless if you don't like your life. In her New York Times best-seller, Dr. Burnight introduces the critical concept of “joyspan,” based on the science of well-being, contentment, connection, meaning, growth, and choice.Dr. Kerry Burnight taught Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology for 18 years at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, where she co-founded and directed the nation's first Elder Abuse Forensic Center.

For nearly two decades, John Sabine was simply gone.His wife, Leigh, had spent years telling elaborate stories about their lives, convincing friends and family that John had left and started over somewhere else. She was a gifted storyteller whose lies became more outrageous with time, and few people questioned them. But when Leigh died of cancer in 2015, those stories began to unravel.After two friends made a horrifying discovery in the garden of the couple's former home in Beddau, Wales, investigators were confronted by a body wrapped in plastic. After 18 years the remains of John Sabine, had been found. As they worked to find out what happened, police revealed years of manipulation, compulsive deception, and the couple's infamous decision to abandon their five young children before John's disappearance. Today, we'll trace the lies that concealed a murder for nearly two decades, examine the evidence that finally exposed the truth behind one woman's carefully constructed fiction.Connect with us on Social Media!You can find us at:Instagram: @bookofthedeadpodX: @bkofthedeadpodFacebook: The Book of the Dead PodcastTikTok: BookofthedeadpodOr visit our website at www.botdpod.comAroesti, R.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: May 06, 2024This episode of Weird Darkness moves chronologically through ten of history's most frequently cited UFO encounters, opening with a 1947 debris field on a New Mexico ranch and closing with a 2004 Navy radar encounter off the California coast.In July 1947, rancher William "Mac" Brazel discovers unusual metallic debris scattered across the Foster homestead north of Roswell, New Mexico, and reports it to Sheriff George Wilcox, who alerts the Roswell Army Air Field. Intelligence officer Major Jesse Marcel collects the material, and on July 8th the RAAF issues a press release announcing the recovery of a "flying disc." The story runs in newspapers nationwide before General Roger Ramey holds a press conference the next day identifying the debris as a weather balloon. The retraction does little to end the speculation; decades later, ufologists raise claims of recovered alien bodies and a government cover-up, and in 1994 the Air Force publishes "Case Closed: Final Report on the Roswell Crash," attributing the debris to the classified high-altitude balloon program Project Mogul.From there, the episode moves to April 6th, 1966, when more than two hundred students, teachers, and residents near Westall High School in the Melbourne suburb of Westall, Australia, watch a gray, saucer-shaped craft descend, hover for roughly twenty minutes, and shoot skyward at high speed after a second object appears to intercept it. Students who walk into the nearby field known as The Grange afterward find circular patches of flattened grass. Australian authorities attribute the sighting to a weather balloon, an explanation many witnesses reject, and researcher Shane Ryan later interviews dozens of them for the documentary "Westall '66: A Suburban UFO Mystery."Next comes the Pascagoula Abduction: shipyard coworkers Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker are fishing on the Pascagoula River in Mississippi on the night of October 11th, 1973, when a whirring oval craft with flashing lights hovers roughly forty feet above them and three robotic, wrinkled-skinned beings pull them aboard for what they describe as a twenty-minute physical examination. The men report the encounter to the local sheriff's office, which secretly records their conversation while leaving them alone in a room, capturing Hickson's visible distress rather than any hint of a hoax. Both men pass polygraph tests and undergo hypnosis, and UFO researchers J. Allen Hynek and James Harder investigate the case and find no evidence of fabrication.A similar pattern surfaces three years later in Maine, where twin brothers Jack and Jim Weiner and fellow art students Chuck Rak and Charlie Foltz are camping on Eagle Lake in the Allagash wilderness in August 1976 when a glowing orb appears to follow their canoe. After Charlie Foltz signals it with a flashlight, the light expands and engulfs the group, and the men find themselves back at a campsite fire that has burned down to embers with no memory of the intervening time. Years later, recurring nightmares send the four men to psychiatrist and UFO researcher Dr. Raymond Fowler, whose hypnotic regression sessions produce matching accounts of grey-alien medical examinations aboard a craft, a story that eventually reaches national audiences through "Unsolved Mysteries" and multiple books.Military personnel take center

WHICH SIDE ARE THE FRENCH ON? GET A GRIP BURNHAM. £662m For This! #JonGauntTV #ChannelCrisis #BorderControl #UKPolitics #FrenchNavy #Andy Burnham Today on Jon Gaunt TV, we're breaking down the shocking escalation in the English Channel. From a French battleship firing live rounds to warn off a BBC news crew, to astonishing drone footage showing the French Navy escorting an inflatable boat packed with 80 people directly into UK waters—the situation has reached a breaking point. The UK taxpayer has handed over £662 million to France to stop these crossings, yet the footage suggests they are doing the exact opposite. Why are we paying for an escort service? Meanwhile, figures like Andy Burnham are doing their best Pontius Pilate impression—washing their hands of any responsibility and hiding behind the Home Secretary. With the weather set to change, we are looking at a potential tragedy that could have been avoided if our borders were actually protected. In this stream, we discuss: The French Navy's "escort" tactics caught on camera. The £662 Million Scandal: What exactly is the UK paying for? The Accountability Vacuum: Why are those in power deferring responsibility while the crisis worsens? The Imminent Danger: Why a major tragedy in the Channel is now a matter of "when," not "if." This nonsense cannot continue. It's time for some hard truths. Burnham must demand that the French stop this piss take! Join the conversation in the live chat at 6 tonight and let us know your thoughts. #JonGauntTV #ChannelCrisis #BorderControl #UKPolitics #FrenchNavy #LiveNews on Gaunt TV, English Channel, French Navy, illegal immigration, small boats, £662 million, BBC News, Andy Burnham, border control, UK politics, Channel crossing, French warship, taxpayer money, accountability, Manchester Mayor Hashtagged: #JonGauntTV #ChannelCrisis #FrenchNavy #IllegalImmigration #Burnham #UKPolitics #BorderControl #SmallBoats #TaxpayerMoney #BBCNews #ChannelCrossing #Chris Phips This is political blogging and hard-hitting social commentary from Triple Sony Gold Award-winning talk radio legend, Jon Gaunt — former host on BBC, Talk Radio, and Sky News.

Brenda Fricker became the first Irish woman to win an Academy Award for her performance in the film “My Left Foot”. She began her career with parts in Ireland's first soap opera Tolka Row, ITV's Coronation Street, and became a household name as the nurse Megan Roach in Casualty on the BBC. Her friend and fellow actress Anna Friel pays tribute.The BBC's long-serving correspondent David Willey was a renowned authority on the Vatican, covering the lives and deaths of five popes. Before he settled in Rome, David had travelled widely for the BBC, reporting from Algeria, the Vietnam War and China just after the communist revolution. Two of his colleagues, former Chief News Correspondent Kate Adie and International Editor Jeremy Bowen, share their memories of working with him.The name David Austin is forever indelibly associated with the rose growing business. He created some of the most sought after roses, naming new varieties after fictional or real-life people, including Gabriel Oak from Far From the Madding Crowd, the actress Dame Judi Dench and ceramicist Emma Bridgewater - who pays tribute to him alongside Gardeners' World presenter Sue Kent.Wally Funk broke records as the oldest person to go to space onboard Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin Rocket in 2021. In the early 1960s she was part of a group of women known as the Mercury 13 who were tested to see if they could compete with male astronauts for a place in the American space programme. But the project was abandoned and her hopes dashed. Loretta Hall, who co-wrote her memoir, tells us her story.

Most people use technology all day without giving much thought to what is happening behind the screen. We trust routers that may not have been updated in years, depend on internet systems few of us understand, and now turn to artificial intelligence for everything from travel plans to home repairs. That convenience comes with tradeoffs. In this episode, we look at the weaknesses built into our connected world and what happens when our technical knowledge fails to keep pace with the technology surrounding us. Sherrod DeGrippo leads threat intelligence for Unit 42 at Palo Alto Networks, where she oversees teams working to identify and respond to increasingly complex cyber threats. During more than two decades in information security, she has held senior leadership roles at Microsoft and Proofpoint, along with positions at Nexum, Symantec, Secureworks, and the National Nuclear Security Administration. Sherrod was named Cyber Security Woman of the Year in 2022 and regularly shares her expertise at industry conferences and through outlets including BBC News, The Wall Street Journal, CNN, and The New York Times. She is also the author of *Threat Driven Software Development: Defending Modern Online Services*. We discuss how outdated home routers become tools for criminal and nation-state attacks, what could happen as technical knowledge disappears, and why foundational internet systems may be more vulnerable than people realize. Sherrod also explains why the greatest danger from AI may not be a dramatic technological disaster, but the gradual loss of human connection as people choose frictionless answers over real conversations. Along the way, she shares practical examples of where AI genuinely helps, where its limits become obvious, and why slowing down still matters when emotion or urgency begins driving a decision. Show Notes: [01:48] Sherrod introduces herself and traces her 23-year career from government network security to threat intelligence. [03:00] An early lesson in buffer overflows sparked a lasting interest in both hacking and protecting systems. [05:10] Growing up around AT&T gave Sherrod firsthand experience with telephone networks, copper lines, and beige boxing. [08:17] Technology has shifted from something people opened and explored into consumer devices few people truly understand. [11:24] As technical knowledge disappears, the people who understand how systems actually work are becoming increasingly rare. [13:41] Older internet users often understood where their data traveled, while today's devices constantly communicate in the background. [16:22] Network security remains critical because once malicious traffic reaches a device, the problem has already become much larger. [17:57] Outdated home routers provide an attractive attack surface for criminals and foreign governments. [20:12] The conversation turns to the fragility of DNS, internet protocols, and the systems supporting the global network. [22:13] Chris shares his experience with denial-of-service attacks and seeing legitimate online services exploited by malware. [25:48] Sherrod explains why AI's greatest danger may be the gradual loss of human relationships rather than a dramatic physical threat. [29:23] AI works well for tedious tasks, but human connection, creativity, and judgment should not be handed over so easily. [31:35] Living intentionally means deciding what experiences matter instead of allowing technology or other outside forces to decide for us. [34:10] Frictionless technology may leave people more vulnerable to scams by training them to expect immediate and effortless results. [35:33] Social engineering uses modern tools, but manipulation, espionage, and theft have existed for thousands of years. [38:14] AI may eliminate certain jobs while also giving people more time to focus on customers, relationships, and other human-centered work. [40:44] A furnace repair shows how AI can guide basic troubleshooting and reduce the need for some professional diagnostic visits. [43:08] AI can help someone become competent in many areas, but having access to it does not make anyone an expert. [45:44] Used intentionally, AI can remove unwanted planning and create more opportunities for people to spend time together. [47:18] Strong prompts, detailed skill files, and personalized instructions may become more valuable than traditional prompt engineering. [49:10] A gift card scam demonstrates how fear and urgency can push someone to ignore repeated warnings from others. [51:30] Sherrod advises pausing whenever a strong emotion begins driving an unusual financial or personal decision.  Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

Episode Summary Erin and Rachel return to the Hundred Acre Wood for Winnie the Pooh (2011), the sequel to The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977). Although it's stuffed with as much fluff as its protagonist, nostalgia and a 69-minute run time make this benign film pleasantly watchable.  Episode Bibliography Anderson, J.

BBC News has been told that one of the first announcements by Andy Burnham, when he becomes prime minister, will facilitate new drilling for oil and gas in the North Sea. The Labour manifesto in 2024 ruled out any new licences to drill but said extraction would be allowed close to existing fields. In other news: South East Water has apologised to thousands of customers in the Tunbridge Wells area of Kent who have lost supplies -- or have low pressure; and Britain's Josh Kerr has broken the men's world record for running a mile by nearly half a second.

LIZ KERSHAW UNFILTERED: BBC, Savile, Small Boats & Ann Widdecombe #JonGaunt #LizKershaw #BBC #JimmySavile #AnnWiddecombe #Immigration #SmallBoats #FreeSpeech BBC broadcasting legend Liz Kershaw joins Jon Gaunt for one of the most candid interviews you'll see this year. Nothing is off limits. We discuss the shocking murder of Ann Widdecombe and what it says about modern Britain, the toxic state of our politics, and where the country goes from here. Liz also reveals what it was really like working at the BBC during the Jimmy Savile years—and explains why she refused to broadcast a tribute to Savile on the day he died, despite being asked to do so by BBC Bosses. It's a remarkable insight into one of the darkest chapters in broadcasting history. The conversation then turns to the small boats crisis. Living on the south coast, Liz has seen illegal migrants arriving on the beaches. She shares what she has witnessed first-hand, and we debate what Britain should do to regain control of its borders while remaining a fair and compassionate country. Along the way we tackle the BBC, free speech, modern politics, media bias, immigration, cancel culture and whether Britain is losing confidence in itself. Whether you agree with us or not, this is the sort of honest, respectful conversation that's becoming all too rare. What do you think? Should Britain radically change its immigration policy? Did the BBC fail over Jimmy Savile? Has political debate become too toxic? And where does Britain go from here? Join in with your comments. I read them all.

Sebastian Usher, Global Affairs Correspondent with BBC News, has the latest on the war between the United States and Iran.

When Dr. Mahrang Baloch was a teenager, she joined hundreds of families across Pakistan's southwestern province of Balochistan to search for her father, who had disappeared. Activists and rights groups say thousands of ethnic Baloch people have disappeared over the past two decades, alleging many were detained by security forces, tortured and killed as part of operations against a long-running separatist movement. After three years of being missing, Mahrang's family received a call telling them that her father's body had been found. This led Mahrang herself becoming a campaigner, leading protests and marches demanding information about missing persons in Balochistan. But last year she was arrested and she has now been sentenced to life in prison. Farhat Javed of BBC Urdu tells her story.  As the group stage of the World Cup comes to a close, Cape Verde, a tiny nation off the coast of West Africa, is celebrating a remarkable achievement.

The fallout has been painful. Paul Njie, journalist with BBC West Africa and Jake Kwon, Seoul Correspondent for BBC News, reflect.

On Today's Episode –In this episode of Blunt Force Truth, hosts Mark Young and Matt Umbarger break down the bizarre societal trends driving current headlines before diving deep into a fascinating, data-backed conversation with Dr. Chris DeArmit, a PhD in material science and a leading independent authority on environmental plastics.First, Mark and Matt tackle the shocking financial anomalies of the modern world. They discuss the controversial "profit-from-murder" crowdfunding phenomenon surrounding the Carmelo Anthony case, juxtaposing public outrage over Elon Musk's potential trillionaire status against a society that willingly donates hundreds of thousands of dollars to the families of violent criminals. The hosts also take aim at Bernie Sanders' new legislative push regarding AI taxation and the roots of societal envy.Then, the conversation shifts to hard science as they welcome Dr. Chris DeArmit to separate environmental fact from media fiction. If you've been told that you eat a "credit card's worth of plastic a week" or that microplastics are causing a global health crisis, prepare to have your worldview challenged. Backed by an exhaustive review of over 6,000 un-funded, peer-reviewed scientific studies, Dr. DeArmit reveals the counterintuitive truths of life-cycle assessments. Discover why replacing plastic actually increases green house gases, why plastic degrades far faster than the public is led to believe, and how activist organizations use fear to trigger our ancient "lizard brains" for profit.Tune in for all the Fun Chris DeArmitt, PhD, FRSC, FIMMM, is a materials scientist with 30+ yearsof industry experience and the world's most cited independent authorityon plastics, microplastics, and environmental science. Unlike industrylobbyists or activist groups, he has no funding agenda, only thousandsof unpaid hours spent tracing claims back to the primary literature.What he found contradicts nearly everything the public has been told.He is the founder of the Plastics Research Council, an expert witness,and the author of two books endorsed by scientists and professorsworldwide. His work has been featured on CBS 60 Minutes, BBC News,Sky News, and the Washington Post, among dozens of other outlets.He speaks to corporate leaders, policymakers, legal teams, healthprofessionals, and anyone whose decisions depend on getting thescience right. https://chrisdearmitt.com/ https://www.amazon.com/stores/Dr-Chris-DeArmitt-FRSC/author/B01KOQW2TQ?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=e6bcf89a-7c73-4d9e-9169-c93ad8994655See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Greek word "soma" means body. Somatic exercises were first researched in the 1970s as a way to release trauma and stress through tiny physical movements, bypassing the mind entirely.  Decades later, most people still think it sounds like a woo-woo wellness trend. That gap between what the science says and what people assume is exactly why I wanted to sit down with Liz Tenuto. Liz, better known as The Workout Witch, has nearly 5 million followers, 240,000 students, and a 99% success rate with her courses. She holds a degree in Psychology from UC Santa Barbara, is certified in Pilates and Reiki, and spent six years being mentored in the Feldenkrais Method under Augusta Moore. With fifteen years of hands-on teaching experience, she bridges science, movement, and somatic practice to help people release stress, stored trauma, and tension from their bodies, using the same methods that got her off beta blockers for anxiety. Her work has been featured in USA Today, BBC News, Harper's Bazaar France, and more.   In this Fitness Friday episode with Liz, part one of a three-part series, she shows me several somatic exercises live on the podcast. One of them nearly put me to sleep on camera! She also breaks down why your body holds onto stress long after your mind has moved on, what chronic stress is actually doing to the way you look and feel, and why so many people struggle with pain, bloating, and sleep issues that no doctor can fully explain. If you have ever felt like your body is working against you no matter what you try, this conversation will change how you think about where stress actually lives and what it takes to release it. What's Discussed: (00:00) What is somatic healing and how it differs from meditation, breathwork, and talk therapy. (03:20) How a ballet dancer with PTSD discovered somatics out of desperation. (04:06) The first somatics class that changed everything and why it made her cry in the bathroom. (04:42) How somatics reestablishes the mind-body connection when your nervous system is stuck in freeze. (05:27) The live forehead exercise that calms your fight-flight response in under a minute.

(08:23) The ear pulling exercise that stimulates your vagus nerve and gives you an instant energy boost. (10:40) How bilateral stimulation connects somatic exercises to EMDR therapy. (11:44) What CPTSD is and why somatic exercises help people heal trauma without verbalizing it. (12:21) The different schools of somatics that have been researched since the 1970s. (13:29) The somatic exercise for sciatica using a figure four position and gentle rocking. (15:19) How stress accelerates aging and why chronic stress caused a gray streak during a toxic marriage. (16:57) Why your body diverts energy away from repair systems when stuck in survival mode. (19:48) The scalp exercise that brings blood flow back and helps repigment gray hair. (21:41) The "chair twerking" bloating exercise that can make a difference in as little as three days. (24:18) Why sequencing matters and one exercise alone is not enough for lasting results. (25:11) How somatic exercises work as a full wellness modality for strength, stress, and emotional healing. Thank You to Our Sponsors!
